Report details dependency on oil, gas revenue Santa Fe County, while not a production area, still receives benefits

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

For decades, counties in the northwestern and southeastern corners of the state have reaped the rewards of oil and gas production.

Now, as other areas of the state weigh the benefits and costs of more oil and gas development, a new report shows just how dependent all New Mexico counties are on fossil fuel revenues — even those like Santa Fe County that

Joe Rivera shook his head Saturday as District Judge Mary Marlowe read a jury’s verdict, convicting him of one count of voluntary manslaughter and one count of second-degree murder in a Christmas Day 2012 shooting that left two men dead.

The jury came to the verdict on its second day of deliberating the evidence against Rivera, who was 18 when he shot and killed John Griego, 23, and Nicholas Baker, 29, outside Griego’s home at a Christmas party. He reportedly shot both men in the chest and fired a second bullet into Griego as he lay wounded under a carport. Griego died at the scene and Baker died from his injuries later at the hospital.

Rivera was found guilty of seconddegree murder in Griego’s death and

guilty of the lesser charge for Baker’s killing. He also was found guilty of tampering with evidence and conspiracy to tamper with evidence.

Friends and family members spoke with Rivera as he was being escorted out from the courtroom, telling him, “I love you.” But neither his family nor the families of the victims would comment on the verdict.

David Silva, Rivera’s attorney, said his client could be facing more than

aren’t producers. The report by the New Mexico Tax Research Institute details oil and gas revenues down to the county level and provides a glimpse of the state’s challenge as it tries to diversify its economy without hurting its bottom line.

Santa Fe County, which has effectively kept out oil and gas development through a restrictive ordinance, benefits from production in other counties.

Santa Fe Public Schools, for example, received $81.7 million from the state general fund in 2013. More than $25 million of that money came from oil and gas revenues, according to the report.

Eldorado board election could affect chicken case New members will be installed 4 days before trial is slated to begin

By Anne Constable The New Mexican

Two defendants in the infamous lawsuit over backyard poultry in Eldorado are among the candidates for the board of the Eldorado Community Improvement Association.

And they’re sure to win.

There are seven candidates and seven open positions on the governing board of the ECIA, which manages the amenities and enforces the rules in the sprawling community (2,650 homes) south of Santa Fe.

Index

Ballots will be mailed to lot owners March 28, and voting will end May 1. The top three vote-getters will receive three-year terms of office.

The next two will serve two-year terms, and the bottom two finishers will each receive a one-year term.

The two sides in the fight over whether chicken coops are allowed under the subdivision’s covenants will be closely watching the outcome, even though the makeup of the board is already determined. A big win for the pro-chicken candidates could be viewed by them as a mandate to end the ECIA’s lawsuit, which reportedly has already cost the community at least $50,000.

LOS ANGELES — Officers at thousands of law enforcement agencies are wearing tiny cameras to record their interactions with the public, but in many cases the devices are being rolled out faster than departments are able to create policies to govern their use.

And some rank-and-file officers are worried the technology might ultimately be used to derail their careers if, for example, an errant comment about a superior is captured on tape.

Most law enforcement leaders and civil liberties advocates believe the cameras will ultimately help officers because the

Ali Zidan blasted his Islamist rivals in the hourlong interview with the private television station Libya Ahrar, saying they worked against him from the time he was sworn in in November 2012.

“For them, Zidan was rejected in every way. From the first day, they tried to get me to quit or dismiss me,” Zidan said. “Since the prime minister is not a member in their political group, regardless if he is a success or a failure, he must be finished.”

Zidan said he didn’t flee Libya, but that he was advised by allies in the parliament to leave the country over concerns about his safety and to avoid getting arrested after he was voted out of office Tuesday.

In brief Gunmen kill 6 Egyptian soldiers CAIRO — Gunmen stormed an Egyptian army checkpoint outside Cairo early Saturday morning and killed six soldiers, including some still in their beds, officials said, in what amounted to an escalation by militants on military targets near the capital.

Just days earlier, masked men opened fire on a busload of military police inside city limits, another rare attack on soldiers this far from the restive Sinai Peninsula, where the army is fighting a counterinsurgency campaign.

Provincial security chief Maj. Gen. Mahmoud Yousri told state news agency MENA that the gunmen also planted explosive devices after Saturday’s attack in Shubra al-Kheima, but bomb disposal experts managed to diffuse two and detonate another in a controlled explosion.

The military blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for the attack, calling the group “terrorists” and saying they had planted the additional bombs to target rescue workers rushing to the scene.

LOS ANGELES — David Brenner, the lanky, toothygrinned Tonight show favorite whose brand of observational comedy became a staple for other standups, including Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser, died Saturday. He was 78.

Brenner, who had been fighting cancer, died peacefully at his home in New York City with his family at his side, according to Jeff Abraham, his friend and publicist.

“David Brenner was a huge star when I met him and he took me under his wing. To me, historically, he was the godfather of hip, observational comedy,” comedian Richard Lewis said in a statement. “He mentored me from day one. … His passing leaves a hole in my life that can never be replaced.”

The tall, thin and always sharply dressed Brenner became one of the most frequent visitors to Johnny Carson’s Tonight in the 1970s and ’80s.

His 150-plus appearances as guest and substitute host turned the former documentary filmmaker into a hot comedian, one who was ubiquitous on other talk shows and game shows.

Goodyear unveils next-generation blimp The Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio — The next generation of the well-known Goodyear blimp is getting ready to take flight as the company moves toward replacing its old fleet of airships with a new trio.

The helium-filled airship, assembled at an Akron-area hangar and unveiled there Friday, is bigger, quicker and more maneuverable than earlier models, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. said.

The 246-foot airship fits 12 passengers and has a semi-rigid internal skeleton, a feature that wasn’t present in earlier models and raises questions about whether it is truly a blimp, though the company still refers to it

as such. The structure is covered by a silver, balloon-like body emblazoned with Goodyear’s yellow logo on a blue background.

It can travel at up to 73 mph and has custom computer-controlled avionics, an upgrade from the manual flight system used by the blimp pilots since the 1920s, the company said. It plans to build two more.

A spokesman wouldn’t specify the cost of the new airship, which is expected to provide a longer flight range and better aerial broadcast capabilities for event coverage.

“The completion of the new blimp marks the beginning of a new era for our airship program and reflects Goodyear’s commitment to remaining at the forefront of aerial broadcast coverage and support,” Paul Fitzhenry, Good-

NORM SHAFER THE WASHINGTON POST

WWII vet surprised with medals Son-in-law discovered ex-POW was due Bronze Star, Purple Heart

By Michael S. Rosenwald The Washington Post

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Seventy years after he was wounded twice and taken captive during a brutal battle in World War II, 93-year-old James Garnett stood as tall as he could Friday afternoon and finally accepted the medals he hadn’t known he was due.

A Bronze Star Medal. A Purple Heart.

When the military lawyers and other guests at the Army’s law school on the University of Virginia campus finally stopped clapping, Garnett cleared his throat, let go of his walker, and said: “Serving my country in World War II was honor enough for me, as it was for countless other service men and women. I accept these medals in the name of all who served and especially for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Evelyn, his college sweetheart and wife of 67 years, sat nearby with a bouquet of roses. Garnett took it all in, a surprised smile on his face. “I don’t think I deserve all the attention I’m getting,” he said, “but thanks anyway.”

Garnett is among the 16 million Americans who served in World War II, a conflict that took the lives of more than 400,000 of them. Nearly 1.6 million veterans of that war are still alive, according to census data.

But their numbers are dwindling.

The ceremony honoring Private Garnett’s Army service was the result of an extraordinary discovery his son-in-law, Fred Craft, made last year while looking through old papers in a family safety-deposit box: discharge documents listing the medals the former rifleman was due.

“Holy mackerel,” Craft remembered saying to himself, “he’s never been awarded these medals.”

Craft, a Vietnam veteran who, along with his wife, once worked on the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee, decided it was time. The Crafts, who live in Georgia, turned to some old connections on the Hill for help. The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School was chosen because Garnett and his wife live in Charlottesville and traveling to Washington, at their ages, wasn’t a viable option.

Army Brig. Gen. Stuart Risch outlined Garnett’s life story: He graduated from U-Va. in 1942 and went to work in Washington for the Board of Economic Warfare, which oversaw procurement for the war effort.

The next year, he tried to join the Navy but was turned down because of poor eyesight. The Army didn’t mind.

Garnett was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 143rd Infantry Regiment, 36 Infantry Division, and his first combat mission was the invasion of Italy. The troops went ashore near Salerno on Sept. 9, 1943. Italy had surrendered the day before, and hopes were high for an easy and swift campaign. Germany had other ideas.

The Germans, holding the high ground above the beach, hit the American troops hard. The next few days saw intense battles between the German and Allied forces. On Sept. 13, the Germans counterattacked, assaulting Garnett’s regiment on both flanks and killing, wounding or capturing 500 men. Garnett, then 22, was wounded twice and taken captive.

He was held by the Germans in three Stalags until April 22 1945, when the Soviet Red Army seized the prison camp where he was being held. The Russians kept him until May 5, and he eventually was shipped to the States to recover at an Atlanta hospital. He was honorably discharged in November 1945.

year’s senior vice president for global communications, said in a statement.

The airship is scheduled to start test flights this month and go into service this summer.

It still needs one component: a name.

Ohio-based Goodyear is collecting suggestions through a contest on its website until April 4. Whoever submits the chosen name will get to use the blimp for a day, the company said.

Thousands of suggestions were submitted in 2006 when the company named its Spirit of Innovation blimp, which now operates from Pompano Beach, Fla. That is where the old Ohio blimp, Spirit of Goodyear, retired. It is being decommissioned this year.

Focus turns to pilots as hunt for missing jet widens

By Eileen Ng and Ian Mader

Handwritten messages to those affected by the missing jet sit Saturday in the viewing gallery at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia.

The Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Attention focused Sunday on the pilots of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight after the country’s leader announced findings so far suggest someone with intimate knowledge of the Boeing 777’s cockpit seized control of the plane and sent it off-course.

Prime Minister Najib Razak on Saturday gave the first detailed findings of the investigation, showing that someone severed communications with the ground and deliberately diverted Flight 307 after it departed Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8 on an overnight flight with a 12-person crew and 227 passengers.

Satellite data suggest it flew for at least 7½ hours and that it could have reached as northwest as Kazakhstan or deep into the southern Indian Ocean, Najib said. “Clearly the search for MH370 has entered a new phase,” Najib said at a televised news conference. “It is widely understood that this has been a situation without precedent.”

Experts say that whoever disabled the plane’s communication systems and then flew the jet must have had a high degree of technical knowledge and flying experience. One possibility they have raised was that one of the pilots wanted to divert the plane for some reason — possibly even to commit suicide. Piracy and hijacking also have been cited as possible explanations.

Najib stressed that investigators are considering all possibilities.

“In view of this latest development, the Malaysian authorities have refocused their investigation into the crew and passengers on board,” Najib told reporters, reading from a written statement

WONG MAYE-E THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

but not taking any questions.

Police on Saturday went to the Kuala Lumpur homes of both the pilot and co-pilot of the missing plane, according to a guard and several local reporters. Malaysian police have said they are looking at the psychological state, family life and connections of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27.

They released no details on their investigation so far.

Zaharie, who joined Malaysia Airlines in 1981 and has more than 18,000 hours of flying experience, is known as an avid aviation enthusiast who set up his own flight simulator at home.

Fariq, who began contemplating marriage after graduating to the cockpit of a Boeing 777, has drawn scrutiny after the revelation that he and another pilot invited two passengers to sit in the cockpit during a flight in 2011.

Two-thirds of the plane’s pas-

sengers were Chinese, and China’s government has been under pressure to give anxious relatives firm news of the aircraft’s fate.

Beijing’s state media expressed irritation Saturday at what it described as Malaysia’s footdragging in releasing information about the investigation.

Najib said he understood the need for families to receive information, but that his government wanted to release only fully corroborated details.

The missing Malaysia Airlines flight departed Kuala Lumpur at 12:40 a.m. heading toward Beijing.

Investigators now have a high degree of certainty that one of the plane’s communications systems

— the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System, or ACARS — was partially disabled before the aircraft reached the east coast of Malaysia, Najib said. Shortly afterward, someone on board switched off the aircraft’s transponder, which communicates with civilian air traffic controllers.

Najib confirmed that Malaysian air force defense radar picked up traces of the plane turning back and crossing the Malaysian peninsula into the Strait of Malacca. Authorities previously had said this radar data could not be verified.

“These movements are con-

sistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane,” Najib said.

To turn off the transponder, someone in the cockpit would have to turn a knob with multiple selections to the “off” position while pressing down at the same time, said John Goglia, a former member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.

That’s something a pilot would know, but it could also be learned by someone who researched the plane on the Internet, he said.

The ACARS system has two aspects, Goglia said. The information part of the system was shut down, but not the transmission part. In most planes, the

information section can be shut down by hitting cockpit switches in sequence to get to a computer screen where an option must be selected using a keypad, he said.

But to turn off the other transmission portion of the ACARS, it would be necessary to go to an electronics bay beneath the cockpit. That’s something a pilot wouldn’t normally know how to do, Goglia said. The Malaysia plane’s ACARS transmitter continued to send out blips that were recorded by satellite after the transponder was turned off. The blips don’t contain any messages or data, but the satellite can tell what region the blips came from.

Guilty: 19-year-old faces up to 30 years Continued from Page A-1 30 years in jail at his sentencing hearing, which likely will be scheduled in a few weeks.

“I’ll be dead by the time he gets out,” said a man with Rivera’s family as the courtroom emptied.

Rivera, now 19, admitted to killing the two men but claimed he was defending himself and his brother, then 16, after Griego and another man at the party attacked his brother.

During a weeklong trial, Rivera’s attorney said he was unarmed when he went to the party. Two older men tried to prevent him and his brother from leaving, Silva told the jury, and then a scuffle broke out. Silva said Rivera picked up a gun that someone else had dropped during the conflict and shot the two men.

Prosecutors Susan Stinson and Juan Valencia, however, painted a different picture for jurors, one that portrayed Rivera as a young thug. They said he had attended the party with a pistol and chose to fire it when tensions rose over south-side versus west-side alliances. The dispute was ignited over a $50 bottle of rum Rivera’s female companion had purchased from Griego.

The gun used to shoot the men was never recovered.

In her closing arguments, Stinson told jurors that Rivera fled the scene that night, allegedly disposed of the gun and the clothing he had been wearing, hid from law enforcement for six days before being apprehended and asked family members via telephone to “pump fear” into potential witnesses while he was in jail awaiting trial.

But the jury found Rivera not guilty on a charge of attempting to intimidate a witness.

In his closing statements Friday, Silva reminded jurors that Rivera and his brother were both short, slim, teenagers, while Griego and Baker were grown men, each around 6 feet tall.

Silva said Rivera was “approached in a threatening manner” and “had no time to cool off or think.” He panicked and “did what an older brother should do. He went in to protect his younger brother.”

Silva also stressed inconsistencies in the testimonies of the teenage witnesses — especially that of Leroy Romero, the only witness who claims to have seen Rivera pull the gun from his pants and shoot Baker in the chest.

Oil: State’s dependency likely to grow in coming years Continued from Page A-1 Pojoaque schools received $3.8 million in state funding from oil and gas. Santa Fe Community College saw $3.9 million from oil and gas, and the six charter schools in Santa Fe County got $4.7 million.

Statewide, $1.7 billion of the state’s $5.5 billion general fund in fiscal year 2013 was from oil and gas revenues, according to the report. And of the $218 million for 769 capital outlay projects throughout the state — such as water systems, school buildings and parks — $207 million came from oil and gas production.

The tax report was partially funded by the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association, with data from the state Taxation and Revenue Department, the state Land Office, the Board of Finance and other agencies. Veteran economist Laird Graeser crunched the report’s numbers.

Graeser, a clean energy advocate who powers his own home with solar, noted the revenue report doesn’t address potential downsides of oil and gas drilling, like groundwater pollution, air emissions or water use.

But if the state wanted to phase out oil and gas and switch to cleaner energy, he said, “it still comes down to how would you replace the revenue.”

The state’s dependence on oil and gas presents a tangled set of problems.

When prices decline, as they did in 2008, the state is hit hard in the pocketbook.

In addition, the oil and gas industry uses its hefty cash power to influence state regulations. “They want a golden ticket to be free from common-sense rules to protect air and water. Their attitude is, ‘We pay for everything, so hands off,’ ” said Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe. The state still has plenty of oil and gas reserves to pump and plenty of money to make. So it will take a far-sighted economic plan, and maybe a new tax structure, to transition to a more diversified economy less beholden to extractive industries, Graeser said.

“State government rarely looks more than five years into the future for financial planning,” said Shane Woolbright, a former power plant planner. “So I don’t see oil and gas revenues declining to a great degree.”

If anything, the state’s dependence on oil and gas is likely to grow in coming years as developers broaden their reach into other parts of the state where drilling rigs have been a rarity.

Mora County passed an ordinance banning oil and gas development, which has been challenged in court.

While some private landowners on the county’s eastern half want to lease their land for natural gas development, the County Commission and other residents think drilling risks contaminating water resources.

San Miguel County, bordering Mora and Santa Fe counties, is considering a draft ordinance that hedges its bets. It would prevent oil and gas development on the west side, which provides most of the water to Las Vegas and nearby villages. But it would allow oil and gas development on the county’s southeast side in the Canadian River Basin. “We’re looking at an ordinance that will be very restrictive, but as far as I’m concerned will allow some development,” said Nicolas Leger, a San Miguel County commissioner.

He doesn’t expect the county to see much in the way of direct revenues. But indirectly, it could mean jobs. “We haven’t seen much economic development in this area in decades,” Leger said. “There is that

potential benefit, and I don’t think we can ignore it.”

San Miguel County will hold public hearings on its draft ordinance in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, even longtime oil and gas pumping counties are struggling to protect some areas as drilling expands. Rio Arriba County is already a top natural gas producer in the state. Graeser said the gas is particularly valuable because it is high in butane and propane. But recently, 16 parcels of land in the Chama River Basin were removed from an oil and gas sale over concerns from the community about potential impacts on water.

In 2013, Rio Arriba shipped out 1.1 million barrels of oil worth $83 million and 303 billion cubic feet of natural gas valued at $1.3 billion. Rio Arriba County made $14 million in production and equipment taxes and $1.9 million in gross receipts taxes.

New Mexico was blessed with plenty of oil and gas.

It’s the sixth top producing oil state in the U.S., according to the Energy Information Administration. The San Juan Basin in the northwest corner of New Mexico has one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world, according to the Bureau of Land Management.

The state also is blessed with plenty of sun and wind, both capable of making electricity.

But while the state has devised ways to tax oil and gas multiple times and enjoy the revenues, it hasn’t figured out how to do the same with solar and wind to nearly the same degree, Graeser said.

The state had a chance to diversify its tax structure, revenue streams and energy resources in the 1980s.

“We made a strange decision to just build on the back of oil and gas,” Graeser said.

Oil and gas producers pay fees to lease land for drilling and pay royalties on each barrel and cubic foot of hydrocarbons they pump out of the well. They’re taxed at the well head by the state, and if the energy is used for electricity, there’s another tax.

In addition to the $1.7 billion that went into the general fund in 2013 from oil- and gas-related activities, including corporate and personal income taxes from related jobs, the industry paid another $420 million in severance taxes, $500 million in royalties and more than $200 million in production and equipment taxes, which go directly to oil- and gas-producing counties, according to Graeser’s report.

Oil and gas revenues from more than 9 million acres of state trust land built and continue to sustain the Land Grant Permanent Fund, with revenues going to the state’s public schools, hospitals, universities and other beneficiaries. In the period between 2009 and 2013, oil and gas fees and bonuses contributed $2.5 billion to the fund. By comparison, solar and wind generated just $232,000.

Oil and gas revenues account for 86 percent of the Severance Tax Permanent Fund, which provides money for public capital projects. In 2013, producers also paid $419 million to the severance tax bond fund, which paid the debt service on capital project bonds.

Established in 1973, the severance tax is charged on natural resources pumped or mined from the ground.

At the same time, while oil and gas companies

The San Juan and Permian basins have been high-producing oil and natural gas regions for decades. Leases, taxes and royalties on production account for more than one-third of the state’s general fund, 95 percent of the Land Grant Permanent Fund and 86 percent of the Severance Tax Permanent Fund. Diversifying the state’s economy to make it less dependent on oil and gas revenues is a challenge.

receive federal tax subsidies, they receive none from the state, Graeser said.

Graeser said given the way the state has structured taxes, there’s now little room to maneuver if the state wants to wean itself off oil and gas revenues. He said there’s no way to tap gross receipts taxes for more money. That leaves tax reform. “Tax reform is really, really hard,” he said. “The screams of the losers are far louder than the huzzahs of the winners. And legislators respond to the screams.”

Lawmakers from oil- and gas-producing counties have complained over the years about that money benefiting nonproducing counties like Santa Fe. But oil and gas production doesn’t make economic sense for some counties. Aside from government jobs, Santa Fe County and the city of Santa Fe have economies built on art, culture and tourism. “It would be a competing use to have oil and gas,” Egolf said. “You really can’t have people coming for quiet beautiful vistas if they are covered in pump jacks.”

In addition, the county wouldn’t benefit much more financially if there was oil and gas development, Graeser said. If a company looking to drill in the Galisteo Basin had produced 10,000 barrels of oil a year, it wouldn’t have added much to the county’s coffers. It made more economic sense for Santa Fe to protect its water and landscape for tourism, he said.

Egolf thinks Graeser’s report may overstate the impact of oil and gas on the state’s budget. Regardless, he said, “It is imperative for New Mexico to diversify its economy because we can’t be dependent on a single industry.”

New Mexico has plenty of wind, solar and geothermal to power the state, according to estimates from clean energy advocates. But even if that happened, the shift likely wouldn’t affect the amount of oil and gas produced.

“There is very little likelihood that demand for the oil and gas from New Mexico will decline because our output goes out of state to a great degree,” Woolbright said.

Even environmental activists such as Mariel Nanasi of the Santa Fe-based New Energy Economy understand a transition away from oil and gas will take time.

“I don’t advocate not having oil and gas,” she said.

“But I think it is prudent to develop other sources of income and, very importantly, jobs.”

That transition could begin with powering all public schools and other government buildings in the state with solar, Nanasi said. Such a move would provide jobs and reduce energy costs for the public sector over the long haul, even if it didn’t generate a lot of revenue for state coffers.

“We have to look at a systemwide economy and not just the short term,” Nanasi said. “If we are to be looking into the future, we need to be looking at other sources of energy that will be good for the economy and the environment.”

Eldorado: New members could impact course of pending litigation Continued from Page A-1 Eligible voters (lot owners who have paid their assessments) can vote for as many — or as few — of the candidates as they want.

Four of the candidates are currently serving on the board. But only one of them, Todd Handy, was elected by the lot owners. The others were appointed to vacant positions created when members resigned or moved out of Eldorado.

“We’re starting over,” Handy said, citing a change in bylaws passed last year to recast the board and the terms of members.

Candidates Gershon Siegel and Greg Colello are defendants in the lawsuit, originally brought by the ECIA in 2012 against nine chicken owners who refused to surrender their “pets.” (Three defendants have since been dismissed from the lawsuit after removing chickens from their lots.)

A third candidate, David Yard, says he supports protective covenants, but his online candidate profile says that after moving to Eldorado in 1999, he began hearing about conflicts with the ECIA, and “I concluded Eldorado is policed with aggression, and believe we must find a better way.”

Motions for summary judgment by both sides in the lawsuit are pending, and a trial is scheduled for May 5, four days after the new board is scheduled to be installed.

A state District Court judge has dis-

ELDORADO CANDIDATE FORUMS u Saturday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Railroad Building next to the clubhouse in the subdivision. Candidates for the Eldorado Community Improvement Association board will present their positions on issues. There will be a meet-andgreet following the forum. u Wednesday, April 16, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Performance Space in La Tienda. The candidates will be asked a series of questions submitted by lot owners. Questions from the audience will be accepted.

Both events will be led by an independent moderator from outside the community and conducted according to a format established by the ECIA Election Committee.

missed a counterclaim by the defendants, finding they have not suffered legally recoverable monetary damages as a result of the lawsuit.

The ECIA says Eldorado’s covenants do not allow backyard poultry.

The pro-chicken folks disagree, saying the birds are allowed under a covenant permitting “recognized household pets.” Families have quietly kept hens, and sometimes roosters, in their

yards for decades. And in some cases, the ECIA has granted them variances allowing them to do so.

But some residents say chickens threaten property values, attract unwanted wildlife and are noisy. In an election in 2012, nearly 200 more people voted against backyard chickens than for them. In order to pass, the measure had to win the approval of a majority of lot owners, and many apparently didn’t care — opting not to vote.

Siegel, who moved to Eldorado in 1991 and published The Eldorado Sun (Sun Monthly) for 12 years, says, “Everybody thinks I’m crazy” for running for the board. He’s been told it’s a “thankless job,” something like “painting a target on your chest.”

But he says he wants the new board to stand up to people he believes pressured the old board to sue the chicken owners. “We are now governing by lawsuit,” he said. “That is not building community.”

Colello said he had decided not to run for the board until he learned there might be a shortage of candidates. At the last minute, he went to the Agora shopping center in Eldorado to collect signatures (25 eligible voters were necessary to get on the ballot). He told people he was running on a platform of “increased community participation, reducing waste and conflict resolution.” Only one person refused to sign his petition.

He said the two chicken defendants and other like-minded board members could form a majority that could have an impact on the course of the pending litigation.

Siegel pointed out that the Eldorado community includes young families and single mothers in addition to the many retirees who have the time and interest in volunteering for various community boards. “They tend to be of like minds, rather conservative,” he said. “They’re not representing the rest of the demographic that’s there.

That’s how the whole chicken thing got out of hand. Now they’re going after people putting up solar.”

Action Eldorado, a group formed during the chicken debacle to “preserve the integrity of our Protective Covenants,” sent information to its membership about the candidates and asked them to attend the upcoming forums. In the email, Lisa Smith reminded them, “You should vote only for the candidates you support.”

In addition to the chicken dispute, issues in the community include the matter of solar arrays, which are gaining in popularity. Although Eldorado was founded on solar principles, builders and lot owners had passive solar in mind — such as heated water and heated tiles. Now homeowners are demanding more power generation and more options — and groundmounted systems are popping up.

In some cases, residents have com-

plained the arrays interfere with their views.

Although state law says jurisdictions can’t impose restrictions that make solar costs too high, the rules don’t yet apply to older communities like Eldorado. But Handy thinks they eventually will and that Eldorado should try to accommodate the needs of people seeking to install solar collectors on their lots.

For Handy, the board treasurer, the real issue in Eldorado is, “How seriously do you want to enforce covenants?” But whatever the decision, he stressed, “You’ve got to have uniformity.”

A third issue is the recent increase in the annual assessment paid by lot owners. This year, it went up from $340 to $400. The increase was not due to the lawsuit, Handy said, but the need to build reserves to ensure Eldorado can maintain its facilities and other amenities into the future.

An audit, conducted before the assessment increase, projected serious shortfalls in the next year and down the road.

Candidate Pam Henline, who moved to Eldorado 14 years ago and began serving on the board last May, said, “I believe the new people have varied opinions, perhaps different [ones].

We will have to see what they will do when in positions of responsibility.”

The raid came as U.S. and European diplomats at the United Nations pushed for a vote on a resolution declaring the Sunday referendum illegal, essentially forcing Russia to veto the measure.

In the end, Russia cast the only vote against it; even China, its traditional ally on the council, did not vote with Moscow but abstained, an indication of its unease with Russia’s violation of another country’s sovereignty.

Western diplomats hoped the result would reinforce Russia’s growing international isolation over Ukraine.

Until now, it has refrained from responding in force to Russian actions, but it sent

troops Saturday to surround the gas terminal, according to a Ukrainian news service quoting local police, though there were no immediate indications of any shots being fired.

In Kiev, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Ukraine “reserves the right to use all necessary measures” to stop what it called “the military invasion by Russia.”

QUESTIONS THAT ARISE WHEN PLACING BODY CAMERAS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS LOS ANGELES — New tiny cameras are starting to be worn by police officers across the U.S. — roughly 3,000 of 18,000 law enforcement agencies are using or trying out these cameras and the numbers are expected to grow exponentially as technology has become more affordable and reliable.

But with its myriad uses, departments are wrangling over several major policy considerations and their implications on privacy and officer liability.

Continued from Page A-1

When do you turn them on/off?

The biggest question for departments is whether officers should be recording at all times. Should they turn them off when speaking to confidential informants or during sensitive victim interviews?

What if the person doesn’t want to be filmed? And how might it impact the prosecution?

Many departments tell officers to wear their cameras at all times but allow them some discretion on filming. But that could also create problems later, said Scott Greenwood, general counsel for the national American Civil Liberties Union and an expert on the devices.

“If officers are allowed to use the videos only when it’s to their advantage, then there won’t be public support for this, and most of the advantages to accountability and oversight will be lost,” he said.

Union chief Tyler Izen, who represents more than 9,900 sworn officers, said that while there’ve been no complaints so far, the strategy is risky and could be problematic for his officers as well as the public, which has become an involuntary guinea pig in the trial.

“They’re basically taking their chances,” Izen said.

There’s still very little research into the impacts of these cameras on policing and their ripple effects on the criminal justice system, said Justin Ready, assistant professor at Arizona State University’s department of criminology and criminal justice. But more studies are underway, including two that Ready is involved in.

The police department in Rialto, Calif., concluded a yearlong University of Cambridge study last year that found an 89 percent drop in complaints against officers during the camera trial. The chief has since mandated its deployment to its roughly 90 sworn officers.

Rialto police Sgt. Richard Royce said he was exonerated by the footage during the study.

“I’d rather have my version of that incident captured on high-definition video in its entirety from my point of view, then to look at somebody’s

Can an officer watch the tape?

Some departments allow officers to watch the tape before they write their reports; others require them to make a statement to internal investigators, if that’s applicable, first.

“I’m going to acknowledge to you that a member’s recollection actually changes after seeing the video,” Oakland police union chief Barry Donelan said. “I’ve seen it.”

Memory doesn’t work like a video camera; it’s impossible to go frame by frame and so what an officer saw and remembered out of a high-adrenaline situation may not match the tape, Donelan said.

It doesn’t always mean they’re lying, he said. It just means they’re human.

Who gets to see and who pays?

A key issue that’s starting to arise is what happens when someone files a public records request for the video — is it considered a police report, an investigatory file?

Policies generally don’t always address this and there haven’t been enough requests.

Greenwood said the media and public should not have access to anything they wouldn’t have the right to be physically present to observe. For example, a reporter wouldn’t be present during a victim interview nor would they go in with

grainy cellphone camera footage captured a 100 feet away that gets cropped, edited, changed or manipulated,” Royce said.

Greenwood of the ACLU said he’s provided input in drawing up the Justice Department guidelines. He said the proposed policy is pretty good, but gives officers more discretion than is wise.

“It’s a far better policy decision to mandate the encounter be recorded and deal with the unwanted video,” Greenwood said. Because if a situation goes bad quickly and there’s no footage, the officer is in trouble, Greenwood said.

Captured video could protect the department — and ultimately the taxpayer— from a false claim and expensive litigation or result in disciplining a problem officer.

One case, also in Oakland, is being used to educate officers in California about the technology.

An officer chasing a suspect said he saw the suspect with a

police on a search warrant.

In Phoenix, the police union made a records request for all the footage from the initial 90-day camera trial and was told it would cost $11,000 because of the review process and to address privacy concerns, said Phoenix police Officer Joe Clure, who heads the union. They decided not to go for it.

How long is it kept?

Some civil rights advocates recommend footage be retained for up to the statute of limitations on filing a complaint on an officer, which is usually a year in California.

If there’s an ongoing case, or possibility the footage will be used in prosecution, then it should be flagged and kept until that’s completed including any appeal.

For basic daily interactions that don’t produce investigatory material, video can be deleted between 30 and 90 days, Greenwood said.

Police in Rialto, Calif., keep videos in cases involving felonies for seven years; homicides for 100. Sgt. Richard Royce, the union chief, there’s also a process for purging videos from the system in case something is accidentally recorded. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently keeping video for at least five years.

It cost the city $10,000 to have roughly 15 seconds of video analyzed by an expert, and because of the angle of where the camera was placed — on the officer’s chest — no gun was seen in the suspect’s hand on film, said Rains, an attorney whose firm represented the officer.

Sgt. Barry Donelan, the police union chief in Oakland, said the department initially moved

to terminate the officer for an excessive response, but he was ultimately exonerated because the video analysis backed up the officer’s account.

Donelan said the danger with such footage is it taps into a human tendency to over rely on video at the expense of other accounts of an event, and can be especially problematic in high-adrenaline situations.

When that happens, “it’s just about the camera,” Donelan said. “It’s the ultimate Monday morning quarterbacking tool.”

More students turn to food banks on college campuses Pantries provide some relief for cash-strapped kids

By Frank Eltman The Associated Press

STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Days after biology major Gillian Carll arrived at Stony Brook University last fall, she encountered a young woman on a bench outside her dormitory who said she had nothing to eat.

“I was just like, ‘Oh, my gosh!’

I didn’t know kids could afford to go here but couldn’t have mac and cheese or something like that,” said the Livonia, N.Y., freshman. “It was kind of unbelievable.”

Carll got the student some food from her dorm room and later volunteered at Stony Brook’s new food pantry — one of dozens cropping up at colleges across the country in recent years as educators acknowledge the struggles many students face as the cost of getting a higher education continues to soar.

“The perception is of college students that if you are able to go to college and you have an opportunity to go to college, you’re part of the haves of this country, not part of the havenots,” said Beth McGuire-Fredericks, assistant director for college housing at the Stony Brook campus on eastern Long Island and a co-founder of the pantry.

“How can someone who’s in college be someone who has a need like food?”

Tuition alone has become a growing burden, rising 27 percent at public colleges and 14 percent at private schools in the past five years, according to the College Board. Add in expenses for books, housing and other necessities of college life and some are left to choose between eating and learning.

Also, most students enrolled in college at least half time are not eligible for food stamps.

“A lot of schools are coming

to the realization that this is important,” said Nate SmithTyge, director of the Michigan State University Food Bank and co-founder of the College and University Food Bank Alliance, which represents about 50 college food banks across the country.

Most of them started in the past four or five years and are run by the colleges or student groups. Smith-Tyge estimates there may be another 50 food pantries on campuses that have yet to join his organization.

“That doesn’t surprise me at all,” said Richard Vedder, director of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, a research organization that has linked the trend of rising college tuitions, in part, to higher personnel costs.

Vedder said it was a “little bit hypocritical” of colleges to say they are helping their students.

“They wouldn’t need pantries if they hadn’t raised prices.”

Clare Cady, a co-founder of the Food Bank Alliance and head of the Oregon State University food bank, said the profiles of recipients vary from undergraduate students who have opted for cheaper meal plans that give students fewer dining options to people dealing with unexpected economic hardships to students

raising children while struggling to pay tuition.

“Some of these students are deeply committed to earning a degree and are making very difficult choices,” Cady said.

At Stony Brook, where the average cost for an undergraduate residential student — tuition, fees, room and board — is $19,358 a year, officials opened the food pantry last year after learning that students had started a website sharing information about campus events where free food was being offered.

“We were hearing rumblings around campus that said students were running out of meal points at the end of the semester,” said Casey McGloin, a food pantry co-founder.

“We wanted to serve both the students who were hurting in that they didn’t have enough to eat period throughout the day and also the students who could only afford to buy pizza or ramen,” she said.

When the doors opened last September, more than 50 students were waiting to be helped.

The pantry, which is located in a dormitory basement, is open two nights a week. The pantry provided more than 500 bags of staples like pasta, fruit, vegetables, tuna, breakfast bars and other items in the first semester.

U.S. goes high-tech to oversee Afghan aid work Agency looks for alternatives in light of troop drawdown

By Deb Riechmann The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The main U.S. foreign assistance agency wants to step up use of smartphones, satellite imagery and GPS cameras to oversee taxfunded development projects in Afghanistan that aid workers no longer will be able to observe firsthand as American troops leave the country.

The U.S. Agency for International Development on Saturday began seeking bids on a monitoring project contract that could cost up to $170 million.

The agency hopes the five-year project will allow aid work to continue in Afghanistan despite the troop drawdown and will satisfy lawmakers and others who have criticized the agency for weak monitoring.

Unless security improves significantly, Afghans hired by USAID contractors will increasingly be on the front line of overseeing the agency’s largest single-country program.

“As the U.S. prepares to have a smaller military footprint, it could become increasingly challenging for us to do our direct monitoring and have U.S. employees on the ground looking at things,” Mark Feierstein, associate administrator for USAID, said in an interview.

“We are going to try to do whatever oversight we can with USAID employees,” Feierstein said. “If we conclude that even with the best technology we just can’t have eyes and ears there, we just won’t do the project.”

Since 2001, USAID has spent $12 billion on development projects in Afghanistan. Millions more will pour into the country in the years ahead.

USAID-funded projects are monitored by aid workers, contractors, other U.S. government employees, USAID’s internal watchdog, the Government Accountability Office, the Afghan government and civil organizations and the office of

Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction.

The new contract aims to enhance oversight by combining Mark these existing Feierstein monitoring techniques with stepped up use of high-tech tools. USAID already has used them in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq and certain areas of Colombia.

The tools include satellite imagery, cameras that take photos with the time, date and GPS coordinates, and cellphones that can be used to collect data and conduct informal public opinion surveys.

Typically, Afghans are hired to go to project sites and collect information useful in monitoring the work. Such work can put them in danger if they are seen by insurgents fighting America’s presence in Afghanistan.

The drawdown of forces and further restricted movement of U.S. civilian workers in Afghanistan has alarmed Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., long critical of waste and fraud in U.S. reconstruction projects in Afghanistan.

At a Senate hearing this past week, McCaskill noted that the Special Inspector General’s Office predicts that soon no more than 21 percent of Afghanistan will be accessible to U.S. civilian oversight personnel.

“Now that’s a 47 percent reduction since 2009,” McCaskill said. “We had eyes and ears on the majority of Afghanistan during a time period that … billions of dollars of American taxpayer money was being spent to build things. We’re only going to have eyes and ears in 21 percent of the country.”

In its most recent quarterly report, the Special Inspector General’s Office also expressed deep concern that oversight could suffer.

“As the U.S. drawdown continues, implementing agencies and oversight bodies will have far less visibility over the reconstruction programs than in the past,” it said in the report in January.

Citizens and journalists: Keep seeking the truth

T

he daily work of a journalist involves showing up at wildfires and crime scenes, interviewing experts and asking tough questions of elected officials. We also attend meetings and pore over all manner of documents, including email correspondence among public officials, meeting minutes and police records.

Access to meetings and records is crucial for journalists to perform one of their most essential tasks: seeking the truth about how government is conducting the public’s business. In New Mexico, that access is enshrined in the state’s Inspection of Public Records Act and the Open Meetings Act. Both laws ensure that journalists — and all citizens — can peer behind Laura Paskus the curtains powerful people sometimes attempt to keep drawn in an effort to conceal acts of malfeasance, corruption or incompetence.

The two laws mandate that state and local agencies allow journalists access to factual and firsthand information — information that hasn’t been manipulated to hide something or tweaked to fit a political agenda. The laws demand that kind of transparency because it’s critical to understanding what’s really happening in New Mexico’s communities.

It’s Sunshine Week, a time to celebrate the laws that give citizens access to their government and the important work of journalists.

In the past year, New Mexico’s journalists have used public records to illuminate issues from a massive shake-up in the state’s behavioral health system to the erosion of our groundwater protections. Reporters have scrutinized the way guards treat inmates behind closed doors in New Mexico’s jails and prisons and how state officials took advantage of per diem reimbursements. Using public records, journalists exposed controversial police uses of force against citizens and pieced together the way the Treasurer’s Office in the state’s largest county used a suspect broker to invest millions of the public’s dollars.

And in every community statewide, reporters attend meetings and carefully document the important discussions and decisions that impact all New Mexicans’ lives.

Unfortunately, state government often shields public records to protect its own interests. Within the past year, four media organizations and one government transparency nonprofit have sued the state, alleging it is blocking access to public records.

We often think of the media in terms of breaking news. But, to borrow an old phrase, the media also provide a first draft of history for our communities. Journalists offer a clear-eyed look at the challenges New Mexicans face.

Sometimes, we tell stories that are difficult to hear. To tackle tough problems and thrive in the years to come, citizens must know the truth. This year, during Sunshine Week, we challenge journalists — and all citizens — across the state to take advantage of the Inspection of Public Records Act and the Open Meetings Act to seek that truth.

Journalist Laura Paskus is president of the Rio Grande Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. The piece also was signed by other members of the group’s Board of Directors.

MY VIEW: KATHI BEARDEN

Celebrate sunshine in government M

arch 16 to March 22 is Sunshine Week in New Mexico and nationwide. Take a moment to celebrate! Sunshine Week focuses on the importance of open government.

No open government, no democracy. No transparency, no government accountability.

I care about Sunshine Week both as a citizen and as a former newspaper employee and publisher for 22 years. We relied heavily upon the state of New Mexico’s strong public records and opening meeting acts to help keep public officials accountable and public bodies honest.

We have many good examples of open government in our state. If the leader of a local government, school board, state department or other entity is committed to open, professional government, the citizens of that government are well served.

In my career, we used the acts to shine a light on government business, such as inequities in salaries of public employees or incorrect and illegal payment of expenses to government employees. When citizens can’t obtain such information, rumors proliferate, trust in our public servants dies, and our officials lose the ability to lead.

Our newsroom once requested records about a police shooting that had set the community on edge. Rumors were rampant, and police were placed in the position of being the recipients of wild speculation and accusations. The police report was clearly a public document under our state’s Inspection of Public Records Act. A law enforcement official refused to turn over the records to our newspaper. Fortunately, the District Attorney’s Office faxed the requested records. We then published the story and the community could form opinions based on facts, and rumors were laid to rest.

This district attorney is one of many public servants I have encountered over the years who want to follow the law, do the right thing and conduct open government. These officials are shining examples of good government leaders and employees.

On the other hand, I am puzzled and sometimes shocked when public bodies or officials choose not to comply with open records and meetings laws. Such decisions may stem from a lack of education or training about our transparency statutes. Noncompliance may arise out of a Kathi misguided belief that secrecy is Bearden the better path. It never is.

Officials may not realize they have become the lawbreakers when they refuse to release information that is legally obtainable.

Our country’s history has proven on more than one occasion that secrecy always makes problems worse and erodes public confidence in government. Secrecy is the hallmark of a totalitarian society, not a democracy. Secrecy serves only special interests and not the citizens.

Sunshine laws aren’t a special benefit for the press. Sure, it’s often up to the media to be our witnesses in public meetings, to request and inspect records then report news that often protects the public. But all citizens have a right to know. The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government strengthens that right by educating, advocating and litigating on everyone’s behalf for transparency. NMFOG can turn the voice of one person into a mandate for government to conduct business with its doors wide open.

The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government hotline at 888-843-9121 answers questions from citizens, government employees and even elected officials. We all benefit from an open government collaboration that serves the citizens of New Mexico.

So go ahead and celebrate this week. Celebrate your right to know. And help bring 365 days of sunshine to New Mexico.

Kathi Bearden is the president of the Board of Directors for The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stop strip mining on La Bajada Mesa I strongly oppose the proposed strip mine on La Bajada in an area zoned residential/agricultural. This project is completely contrary to Santa Fe County’s own sustainability criteria.

Given the drought, we cannot sacrifice the water needed for this operation that will provide few jobs. The area is of significance historically and important to wildlife. Plus, our Santa Fe economy and brand depends upon beautiful viewscapes, tourism and arts — not strip mining.

There is a great wellspring of concern over this strip mine, the proposed Ortiz gold mine and the Lamy transfer station. The democratic consensus is that we want to preserve what we have in the Galisteo Basin for ourselves and our children.

I urge everyone who cares for our bio-region to unite to oppose these projects. These greedy outside corporate interests that want to convert our beautiful land into trash and cash for their shareholders around the world must be stopped now.

Support Adelante

Do you often wonder how to do something concrete that will have a positive impact on the children who need it most?

Well, here is a wonderful opportunity to help the Adelante Program of Santa Fe Public Schools: Take your family and friends out to eat Tuesday at Santa Fe Bar & Grill in DeVargas Center. The business has generously offered to contribute 20 percent of their sales that day to our program if you mention Adelante.

For those who are not familiar, Adelante annually serves more than 1,600 students and youth experiencing homelessness. Our tiny staff works hard — without school operational funds — to provide students, youth and their families with basic services so that children experiencing homelessness can remain in school and build a successful future.

It has been a difficult winter.

More families than ever are without permanent homes or jobs, and are hungry and unable to afford necessities. Every week, when our last bag of food has been picked up, when we’ve given away our last box of diapers and our last gas card

is gone, there are still more children in need.

We thank our community members for your continued generous support of Adelante and the important work that we do to end child homelessness. If you want to know more about our program, check out our website at www.adelante santafe.org.

The writer complains that when he and his car are courteous to bike riders, they don’t acknowledge the courtesies with a nod or wave of appreciation. Although not a bike rider, I recognize that bikes have as much right as cars to be on the road. One might even contend that they have more right, since they take up less space and don’t pollute the air. This driver should consider waving and nodding with appreciation to the bike riders who allow his car space on the road.

hen it comes to providing services and advocacy for Native American children with special needs and disabilities, one organization stands second to none. Education for Parents of Indian Children with Special Needs, or EPICS, is a nonprofit organization based in Albuquerque that provides training, information, resources and support for parents, grandparents, family members and caregivers of Indian children with disabilities, developmental delay and special health care needs.

The group’s vision is that “all children will flourish in healthy families, schools and communities.” They provide a circle of support that includes partnerships, resources, advocacy and opportunities for family leadership. EPICS, and their various projects, have an impact on Native families across the state.

“The resources we Harlan receive are dedicated to McKosato the services we provide to our children and famiCommentary lies. The organization has grown tremendously, and we are very proud of our accomplishments,” said Jeanette Trancosa (San Felipe), executive director of EPICS. The nonprofit was founded in 1985 by a group of committed parents and professionals.

Prior to the 1970s, children with disabilities were institutionalized, sent away and outright discriminated against. A group of parents started rallying and advocating for their children’s rights. In 1975, Congress passed a law that eventually became the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

In the past several years, EPICS has enjoyed a special partnership with Parents Reaching Out (PRO), a nonprofit parent center serving all families in New Mexico.

EPICS is proud to highlight its partnership with PRO, a collaboration that has strengthened families and children of New Mexico.

“Our partnership with PRO is working because we fill in the gaps anywhere that they don’t have the capacity to fulfill the needs of our Native American families in New Mexico. We also provide access to proper cultural people to ensure that their approach is culturally appropriate,” said Alvino Sandoval (Navajo), program director at EPICS. The heart of what EPICS offers is training and advocacy, led by Ronalda Warito-Tome (Navajo), trainer/advocate for the organization. Funding from the New Mexico Department of Health and Public Education Department, the U.S. Department of Education and private foundations and donors allows EPICS to continue to offer free training to families and professionals in rural tribal and urban Native communities.

EPICS provides training in the area of early childhood intervention and early childhood centers such as Head Start programs, Bureau of Indian Education schools and child care centers.

“Early intervention is for infants and toddlers with special needs. If a child is born with a significant disability (such as autism, spinal bifida, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, etc.) or is at risk for possible developmental delay due to environmental or biological risk factors, they can access services like one-on-one therapy based on individual needs, or in-home services within the child’s natural environment,” Sandoval said.

“I learned about EPICS through [our tribal] Early Childhood Learning Center,” said Larissa Olga Tenorio (Santa Domingo), a parent of a child with special needs. “When I first started out, it was extremely overwhelming. I didn’t understand what was going on … it was like a giant puzzle.

“When I went to the EPICS family leadership conference for the first time, I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed it,” Tenorio added. “For once [our family] could go somewhere crowded and no one stared. It was such an amazing feeling to belong.”

EPICS will be holding its Native American Conference on Special Education in Albuquerque, March 26 to March 28. (For more information about EPICS, go to www.epicsNM.org.)

“I don’t have children myself,” Sandoval said. “But I got into this field of early childhood special education and advocacy because of my nephew.

For La Bajada, no more mines

I

t’s a familiar story: A business storms into River City — in this case, Santa Fe County — with a proposal to dig up the earth, causing noise, commotion and dust, ruining the peace and quiet of country life but bringing in prized jobs and gross receipts taxes to the greater benefit of all. Neighbors revolt, gathering forces to persuade the governing body that, no, their bucolic life must not be destroyed for a business owner’s mining profits. A battle ensues.

The ending? That portion of the story remains unwritten. We know that owners of Buena Vista Estates Inc. and Rockology LLC want to mine 50 acres of land on La Bajada Mesa. The company would dig up basalt rock to be crushed into asphalt, roadway base course and ready-mix concrete.

The application is before the Santa Fe County Development Review Committee and is scheduled to be heard starting at 4 p.m. Thursday at Santa Fe County offices, 102 Grant Ave. In this particular battle, the winning cards are in the hands of neighbors, environmentalists and outdoor lovers who oppose the proposal. To approve the operation, Santa Fe County must agree to rezone the parcel. It’s zoned for agricultural/residential, not for mining.

The county should deny the zoning change for a number of reasons.

Start with the location. La Bajada Mesa is that point in the drive from Albuquerque when visitors and locals know they are approaching the magic that is Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. Topping the hill, with the sky spread out below and the city achingly close, the first view of Santa Fe should not be obscured by a dark cloud of dust. The mine itself might not be visible from Interstate 25, but its dust would be seen. That’s a distraction visitors don’t need. La Bajada Mesa, by the way, has been designated one of New Mexico’s most endangered places by the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance — and a portion of the designation warns that mining could destroy the area’s singular views. That warning could come to pass if the county allows the mine to begin operations.

Still, forget the mine’s impact on passers-by driving along the highway, or even on smaller roads in the area such as Waldo Canyon Road. The effect on residents is the biggest problem with the mine; buying in an area zoned for agricultural and residential purposes should provide security that a mine won’t be setting up next door. A zoning change removes that security. People who choose to live in the area, whether in Madrid or Cerrillos or in rural isolation, do so because they want to live without the commotion of neighbors and nearby businesses. They don’t want the noise and dust of a mining operation, truck traffic and worse, overpowering lights that will allow the operation to continue working through the night. Light pollution alone provides reason to deny this application.

There are other environmental concerns, too. The proposal would call for the creation of three pits, each about 60 feet deep, with workers mining one pit at a time for seven or eight years over 25 years. The pits would eventually be reclaimed, but such massive disruption is hard to mitigate. Santa Fe County, for some reason, is agreeing to sell water to the project. We’re in a drought, with wells in the area starting to go dry. That’s the wrong time to sell water so that rock miners can reduce dust, especially water that would be suitable for drinking. It’s just the wrong use of resources for what in the end is estimated to bring in about $122,500 a year in gross receipts taxes.

Community members have fought off the mine twice before. They’ll do it a third time. Santa Fe County — both the initial committee and county commissioners who will take the final vote — should remember that approval of this mine could open up the fragile mesa to additional operations. With the possibility of the mesa becoming a national monument (former Santa Fe Mayor David Coss made the request of President Barack Obama in 2013), now is not the time to begin digging into the land. Often, when business interests collide with the concerns of neighbors — the proposal to truck crude oil out of Lamy comes to mind — the county has little authority over permits in Lamy’s case because of federal regulations.

With the proposed mine, Santa Fe County holds the cards. No zoning change. No mine.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 16, 1914: Silver City — The operations of the great Chino Copper company, which has at Santa Rita one of the largest copper mines in the world, are steadily increasing in magnitude and importance. The Chino Copper company is making excavations for foundations of a new crushing plant through which ore will pass from ore cars to the Santa Fe railroad cars en route to the mill at Hurley, N.M. March 16, 1964: Work on the $65 million San Juan-Chama project, which is expected to start in April, will have a significant effect on the economy of Chama during the next decade, according to Zia Engineering Company. Chama’s population, now estimated at 1,600 is expected to grow to 2,050 next month at the start of the project. Engineering estimates that half of the cost of the $65 million project will be used to defray labor costs of the eventual 2,850 workers on the project.

COMMENTARY: NOAH FELDMAN

Politics aside, Dems take on CIA D ianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, says the Central Intelligence Agency breached the separation of powers by searching committee staffers’ computers and then referring a potential security violation to the Justice Department for criminal investigation. CIA Director John Brennan denies that the agency has acted wrongly: “I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong.”

The stage is set for a serious constitutional fight between Congress, with its oversight function, and the executive branch, with its national security priorities. Just what the Founding Fathers anticipated when they put the separation of powers into the Constitution, right?

Well, not exactly. It’s true that the framers believed that members of Congress would stand up for the privileges of their institution while the president would very probably try to maximize his own authority. But they overlooked an important flaw in the theory of separation of powers: When Congress and the presidency are controlled by the same political party, the incentive for oversight goes down. If Democrats in the Senate embarrass a Democratic president, the Democratic Party may well pay the price; and that price may come in the form of fewer seats in the Senate.

The framers didn’t quite see this coming. James Madison, especially, wanted to design the Constitution to reduce the likelihood of legislative faction. As the historian Richard Hofstadter memorably

put it, the framers designed a “Constitution against parties.” The result was that they didn’t focus on how partisanship might distort things. Two of my brilliant former colleagues at NYU Law School, Daryl Levinson and Richard Pildes, have argued that the separation of powers should today be understood primarily as a phenomenon of interparty competition.

So, given the combination of the framer’s blindness to party politics and the increasing animosity between Republicans and Democrats, why is party stalwart Feinstein taking on the Obama administration in an election year? There are three answers, each shedding light on the scandal of the day and the difficulties of adapting the founding document to the modern world.

The first is that the framers weren’t completely wrong about Congress defending its institutional interests.

Feinstein has been deeply involved in intelligence oversight for decades, and has become famous for defending the CIA in public while keeping her criticisms confidential. For her to discover that the agency had in essence turned the tables, overseeing her committee’s oversight functions, struck at the heart of her conception of her job — and her legacy.

Humans are invested in a project they have spent their lives pursuing. To be spied on by the spies is not just personally frustrating to her — it makes a mockery of the very idea of oversight.

Second is the anomalous nature of the inquiry that the intelligence committee was involved with: A review of the CIA’s secret detention and interrogation prac-

tices during the Bush years. It’s not irrelevant that the Democratically controlled committee is looking closely at practices developed under a Republican president.

When the inquiry is eventually published, Republicans, not Democrats, will be the implicit targets. The fact that the conflict between Feinstein and the CIA arose in this more partisan context helps explain why a Democratic committee chairwoman is going after Democratic demonstration.

The third answer is most important: The CIA is not in this case acting — and typically does not act — like a partisan agency responsible to a president of a particular party. Sure, the president appoints the head of the CIA with Senate confirmation, and the president can fire the head of the agency at will. The CIA is not an independent agency in any legal sense. Politically, however, the CIA operates with more independence and less direct presidential control than most executive-branch agencies.

The combination of the CIA’s de facto independence and the executive branch’s enduring interest in maximizing power to protect national security brings us squarely back to separation of powers.

The framers would have detested the idea of a secret agency acting outside the political process. But if one had to exist, at least they would’ve been happy to see the senators trying to take it on, and their document provides the authority for them to do so. Partisan politics complicate the separation of powers. But the idea remains robust in practice nevertheless.

COMMENTARY: GAIL COLLINS

School lunches: Another battlefield

L

et’s consider school lunches.

Always an important topic. But to be honest, it’s only coming up right now thanks to Rep. Paul Ryan, who took a strong, principled stand against school lunches in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference. (“What they’re offering people is a full stomach and an empty soul.”)

Ryan’s point was that mothers who pack their children’s lunches are showing their love, while kids who get their food from the cafeteria lady will feel that nobody cares. Have you ever heard a more terrible thing to say?

Most American mothers work, and they are already guilt-ridden over everything under the sun. They are constantly hearing stories about some other woman who has six kids and manages a major corporation yet still finds time to sew a sequin-crusted mermaid costume for the 8-year-old’s Halloween parade. Most American mothers feel remarkably successful when everybody gets off to school with matching socks. Now Paul Ryan wants to tell them they’ve committed child abuse by failure to fill a brown bag.

Fortunately, the speech ended badly: Ryan included a story about a poor schoolboy begging for a home-packed lunch, which turned out to be rather fictional. But it was still an interesting window into the right’s growing antipathy toward school meals.

School lunches have always been political, in a peculiar agricultural way.

The frozen food lobby takes on the fresh produce people. The tomato growers do battle with nutritionists who don’t want to count pizza as a vegetable. The anti-starch advocates versus the potato growers. (In 2011, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Mark Udall of Colorado led a

Editorial page editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

successful bipartisan drive to protect the right of potatoes to roam free across the menus of American school cafeterias.)

But the basic idea of providing healthy subsidized meals for public school students used to be universally accepted.

Like Social Security or federally funded bridge reconstruction.

No more. These days, you can find vocal opposition to any federal program that gives something to poor people. Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia, who’s running for the Republican Senate nomination, has been arguing that kids who qualify for subsidized school meals should be required to do janitorial work in order to demolish the idea “that there is such a thing as a free lunch.”

Then there’s that vision of the handpacked meal as a symbol of family. Every once in a while, a rumor crops up that an elementary school somewhere is prohibiting brown bags and forcing all its students to eat Obamafare. This does not actually seem to be happening. However, it is true that the Department of Agriculture, which oversees the school lunch program, is wildly sensitive to any suggestions that it would ever get between a child and a homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

“What the parent decides is sufficient,” said Undersecretary Kevin Concannon.

(Concannon has a picture in his office that was taken when he toured a school in New Orleans. He’s chatting over lunch with a little girl who pointed to his plate and said: “Mister, if you’re not going to finish your broccoli, I’ll finish it for you.”

He has seen the future, and it is eating green vegetables.)

Finally, there’s the rancor toward the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which Congress passed in 2010 with the strong

backing of Michelle Obama. Its push toward healthier school menus is a popular target with the right. In theory, this is a rejection of federal interference with local decision-making. But, mainly, I suspect, it’s an attempt to remind average Americans that the first lady gets up to work out at 4:30 a.m. and probably does not approve of some of their lifestyle choices.

Plus, it’s always easy to make fun of kale. Los Angeles schools, which were trailblazers, got no end of grief for their rather abrupt transition from chocolate milk and chicken nuggets to a menu that was heavy on things like vegetable curry and lentils.

“School kids in Los Angeles have blown the whistle on the east wing chef-in-chief’s healthy lunch diktats,” announced columnist Michelle Malkin triumphantly.

David Binkle of the Los Angeles Unified School District says that after a rather rocky shakedown, things are going great and student food sales are way up.

“And we don’t even have pizza on the menu,” he said.

The kids are drinking more milk than ever, even without chocolate flavoring.

The lentils are still there, Binkle said, but they tend to be hidden away in salads.

We’ll be hearing more complaints soon; the second phase of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act kicks in this year, and it includes bans on snacks like candy bars, Doritos or sugary soft drinks, even in vending machines. Gone from the cafeteria forever.

Unless your mother packs them in a brown paper bag.

Support the Healthy Diné Nation Act

Mine is wrong for gateway to Santa Fe

A

s I sit here listening to my 6-yearold daughter read, I wonder what the future holds for her and the next generation of Navajo children.

Childhood obesity and diabetes continue to plague the Navajo Nation and American Indian communities across the United States. These negative trends among Navajo youth raise important questions for tribal communities. How will our Navajo Nation government and we, as Navajo people, work together to combat these negative trends?

Let’s not kid ourselves. Defeating diabetes and obesity will not be easy. It will take commitment, creativity and reliance on our traditional values to solve these problems. More importantly, these issues require all of us to take a stand as we work to reclaim control of our health, wellness, diets and community well-being. But we need a partner in the Navajo Nation government.

The passing of the Healthy Diné Nation Act by the Navajo Nation Council was a big step forward. The battle to prevent our kids from developing Type 2 diabetes cannot be won without the support of our tribal leaders. This legislation has a very simple, two-part approach: first, increase access to and affordability of fresh and healthy foods sold on the reservation by removing the 5 percent Navajo sales tax on fresh fruits, vegetables and water sold

César Chávez: Dual-language program to brag about

A

n article earlier this year, (“Santa Fe Public Schools program offers students bilingual instruction, Jan. 21”) featured an in-depth look at a wonderful program our city has to offer in the public schools — the two-way Dual Language Immersion Program.

This article mentioned that there are “seven schools in the district with duallanguage programs” but spoke only of Agua Fría Elementary. In fact, there are several kinds of “bilingual education” programs and not all seven schools have the two-way Dual Language Immersion Program where students with two differLeslie ent native languages Meehan (in this case Spanish and English) come together to learn from one another — that is a unique program offered by only a few schools in our district.

As a parent of a second-grader in the two-way Dual Language Immersion Program at César Chávez Community School (she spoke only English when she began kindergarten and is now bilingual and biliterate), it is disheartening and discouraging that our school is never mentioned in any of the publicity about these wonderful programs in our community. I know it is also disheartening for the wonderfully dedicated teachers and administration not to receive the recognition they deserve in this regard and to only hear how our schools aren’t measuring up and our students aren’t “proficient” based on state-mandated testing.

Although faculty and staff members do what they do for the children and not for public praise, validation of their hard work and dedication is most deserved. The teachers in this program are highly trained and eager to see what the latest research has to say about educating our children in a duallanguage environment.

In fact, my daughter’s teacher and another dual language teacher at César Chávez will take a trip to Mexico this summer to further their knowledge and learn from other educators about best practices in this specialized program. In spite of its low “grade” (which is calculated using a flawed algorithm that doesn’t take into account the huge bilingual population, among other things), families are asking to transfer to César Chávez because of the wonderful programs and teachers it offers.

In fact, with the new school boundary changes, our daughter is zoned for the new Nino Otero school, but since it will not be offering our language program, we are asking for a transfer back to César Chávez. I know of several other families doing the same thing.

We intend to enroll our second child in the dual-language program in the fall when she begins kindergarten and, eventually, our third child once he is ready for school.

on the reservation; and second, implement a small 2 percent additional sales tax on “junk food” sold on the reservation, with revenues generated from the tax going back into Navajo communities for health Notah and wellness programs.

Begay III The two parts work together for the good of the people.

I am inspired by the grass-roots movement among the Navajo people that led to this important legislation, and the Navajo Council members who stood up to be a part of this movement. I stand with them today.

But a week after the Healthy Diné Nation Act passed, I was disappointed and discouraged to learn that this important legislation was vetoed. The veto sends a dangerous message that the futures of our children are for sale to outside corporate interests that have no concern for the health of the Navajo people.

I realize that new Navajo tax laws will not be the sole solution to an epidemic that results in the rate of diabetes being 2.3 times higher within the Navajo Nation than elsewhere in the U.S. Fifty percent of American Indian children are projected to develop Type 2 diabetes in their lifetimes based on current childhood obesity

rates. But the Healthy Diné Nation Act represents an idea that brings together the resources and leadership of Navajo government and combines them with the best interests of the Navajo people. The reality facing our communities is that if government and family leaders continue to ignore the childhood obesity and diabetes issue, it will ensure that some of our children will not outlive their parents.

Just as my grandfather, Notah Begay Sr., and the Navajo Code Talkers played an instrumental role in winning the Pacific Theater during World War II, the Healthy Diné Nation Act sets us on a path forward for the Navajo people to win in the fight against diabetes and obesity and to build healthier communities. It also demonstrates that the Navajo people will not sit idly by and allow their children to slide into lives of chronic disease.

It is time for our citizens — and our Navajo leaders — to exercise a new path of self-determination that encourages the government and its people to work together in order to find solutions to these major health problems.

It is time for the council to overturn the veto.

DRAWING BOARD THE WEEK IN CARTOONS

‘‘N

o Strip Mine on La Bajada Mesa” signs are springing up around Santa Fe. Fifty acres, 60 feet deep, the mine proposed by an Albuquerque gravel firm demands a million gallons of county-supplied water annually. If you think this would only affect county residents, think again.

The proposal has been rejected twice. I urge the County Development Review Committee to do so again Thursday because: u La Bajada Mesa is a cultural and historic treasure — often overlooked as we sail up Interstate 25 or ride the New Mexico Rail Runner Express. It has sacred sites connected to the long history of the pueblos. It was the last challenge on the Camino Real from Mexico City. On its face, a segment of old Route 66 can still be hiked.

For Santa Fe residents, it is the threshold that tells us we’re home. It is worth far more to us as a landmark than as road-base. u The proposal asserts a “need” for a new mine. Apparently based on dreams of a captive market during Rail Runner construction, this need is entirely private and mostly imaginary. Within Santa Fe County, we already have Caja del Rio Quarry producing these products, with decades of reserves. The CdR Quarry uses effluent, not drinking water; its excavations will be reused by the landfill where it is located.

Permitting a new mine would undercut the CdR operation, canceling out economic benefits. Even proponents estimate only seven new jobs; good pay or preferential local hiring are not assured. Besides, demand for virgin gravel is decreasing; construction is slow and recycling old roads by crushing them for aggregate is increasingly cost-effective. u La Bajada provides regional “environmental services.” Its geology influences surface and subsurface water: The Santa Fe

B-3

River and La Cienega springs support traditional agriculture, and La Bajada pushes groundwater into Rio Grande Basin aquifers, which supply water to more than 50 percent of New Mexico’s population. The Rio Grande Valley, which La Bajada helps define, is one of the top 20 wildlife and migratory bird corridors in the U.S. And as you know if you’ve driven up from Albuquerque with the top down, La Bajada buffers local climate by about 10 degrees — an increasingly important function. u Last but far from least, the county utility wants to sell drinking water, treated at public expense, to an operation that doesn’t need potable water.

Indefensible in itself, this is a terrible precedent. The county and city of Santa Fe share water sources and treatment plants — the county’s taxpayer-funded distribution lines are separate.

Water sold by either utility comes out of the same pot. This proposal would deprive residents of city and county alike of a million gallons a year.

By permitting this inappropriate and unnecessary use of drinking water, saying no to other industries becomes much harder. Oil and gas drillers use several million gallons of water per well, and in Texas have hoarded potable water while livestock and crops died of thirst. In the desert Southwest, we cannot afford to set such a precedent.

Since prehistory, La Bajada has been a landmark and gateway. Crushing it to gravel would dramatically hurt recreational and educational resources, tourism and filming — reason enough to stop the mine. For the county utility to connive in La Bajada’s destruction at the expense of regional water would be a double travesty.

La Bajada a treasure that must be protected

A

s many residents of Santa Fe are now aware, the Santa Fe County staff is recommending the approval of an application to mine gravel on historic La Bajada Mesa, a treasured New Mexico landscape.

Buena Vista Estates and Rockology Limited LLC is the company that wants to strip the basalt cap to a depth of 61 feet (their estimates) and crush it for gravel over a period of no less than 25 years.

How much should we hate this dreadful and destructive idea? This much: u The current owners have no protected rights to demand a rezoning for the extractive industry since they bought the property with the current agricultural/residential zoning in place. Yet, this is precisely what they are demanding. u 710,000 gallons a year or 2.19 acre feet, which the applicant insists is enough, is considered by most to be grievously insufficient to accomplish the suppression of dust.

And there will be dust. Lots and lots of dust. u This water that Buena Vista Estates Rockology intends to buy from Santa Fe County is in fact potable water. They intend to use valuable drinking water in an attempt to keep dust down, and they would be charged only pennies for each gallon. u The applicants don’t even address how much water they would want for reclamation.

The stark reality is that reclamation would be virtually impossible after stripping some 20 feet of basalt off the top of La Bajada Mesa. There are no standards to insure that reclamation would be a success. u There are more than enough gravel mines down Interstate 25 and over by the Santa Fe animal shelter. There isn’t a need for yet another one. u La Bajada Mesa, listed by the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance as a Most

Endangered Place, is the gateway to the city of Santa Fe and needs to be a protected cultural landscape. u Buena Vista Estates Rockology touts the fact that they would be providing job opportunities for residents of Santa Fe County. Yet officials neglect to mention that the total number of jobs that would actually be available is a whopping seven. u Developing gravel mining on La Bajada Mesa would result in increased air pollution from carbon emissions and dust from multiple crushers, conveyors and heavy industrial traffic, not to mention bone-rattling blasting and annoying night lighting.

This simply shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Fingers are crossed that New Mexicans care enough about this precious historic cultural landscape to speak their minds at the upcoming hearing before the County Development Review Committee 4 p.m. Thursday in the County Building in Santa Fe, 102 Grant Ave. If you can’t attend, then email these people and tell them you do not support a mining zone on La Bajada Mesa: Case Manager Jose Larrañaga, joselarra@co.santa-fe. nm.us CC these people: Penny Ellis-Green, director, pengreen@santafecountynm.

Zia Road Rail Runner station not ADA accessible A

community-based New Mexico Rail Runner Station might be opening for the general public (unless you have disabilities).

The New Mexico Department of Transportation issued a traffic study of the Zia Road Station at St. Francis Drive and Zia Road on Feb. 19. Unfortunately, the study was just a traffic study. The study did not address traffic issues involving people with disabilities who live in the surrounding area, especially those living in the Candlelight Subdivision west of St. Francis Drive.

The study did state that, “other concerns [e.g. … pedestrian connectivity along West Zia Road, and Americans with Disability Act compliance in the vicinity of the intersection, etc.] may need to be considered before the station can be opened.” The study should state that the Zia Road Station will be

ADA compliant before it is opened.

The Americans with Disabilities Act recognizes that people with disabilities face barriers that allow access to public and private conveniences most of us take for granted and attempts to remove those barriers.

Even if the north and south sides of Zia Road west of St. Francis Drive had usable sidewalks (they do not) leading to Zia Road Station, individuals confined to wheelchairs, walkers or who have other mobility issues would be unable to access Zia Road Station unless they were provided transportation to and from the facility. The grade to the station from just west of Galisteo Road far exceeds standards of access defined by ADA. Even the city’s existing sidewalks ending at the intersection of Galisteo Road and Zia Road have ADA curb cuts with grades that exceed ADA requirements.

Although newly constructed sidewalks along Zia Road will conform to the grade of Zia Road (which is acceptable by the law); they would be unusable for many people with mobility issues trying to access the station by traveling up the grade to the station.

So if you face mobility issues and live in the Candlelight area and do not have reliable transportation to and from the station, you might be unable to use Zia Road Station — although your tax dollars built it and you have a right to use it.

Former Gov. Bill Richardson, former Mayor David Coss, the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization, Lawrence Rael, past Director of the MidRegion Council of Governments, New Mexico Department of Transportation and SF Brown, Inc. (owner of the land surrounding the station) might have chosen the location without thorough

consideration for disabled area residents or pedestrians in general. In my opinion, the site for Zia Road Station seems to have been selected for the sole benefit of SF Brown’s development. However, the residents living near the station were told that the station would be a community station; that should include people with disabilities living only one-tenth of a mile from the station.

I believe that if Zia Road Station were closely examined by ADA experts, a number of issues would be found that make the site’s access difficult for people with disabilities. All ADA-related issues in the vicinity of the station and at the Zia Road Station should be corrected before the station is opened. If ADA issues cannot be corrected, Zia Road Station should be permanently closed (there is an ADAcompliant station just two miles from

Zia Road Station). One fewer station in Santa Fe may save the state some money in the long run. The Rail Runner was meant to be a commuter train between Albuquerque and Santa Fe not a trolley service for Santa Fe. I encourage the New Mexico Governor’s Commission on Disability and the city of Santa Fe’s ADA adviser to review the Zia Road Station site before it is opened for the general public’s use.

Additives add to dangers of tobacco use T homas J. Bollyky is correct, that efforts to curb tobacco use should be increased (“Fight against tobacco should go global,” Jan. 27). But it is not really the plant itself that is mainly to be blamed for the health problems, but the additives that tobacco companies use to insure that users become, and stay, addicted. Ban those additives and cancer rates from smoking would plummet.

Mine would spoil proud mesa

I

am writing to express my firm opposition to the proposed Buena Vista Estates and Rockology LLC basalt mine on the La Bajada Mesa.

The unspoiled mesa is most suitable as a symbol of our pride in and respect for our shared home. The La Bajada Mesa and escarpment is as enchantingly monumental and sublime an open space as is found Philip J. anywhere in this Taccetta country. As part of a state park or national monument, it can contribute to the allure of Santa Fe and surrounding areas as desirable places to live and to visit and will help grow our economy in a broadbased and sustainable way into the future.

The proposed basalt mine is situated conspicuously at the doorstep of our capital city, at the gateway most often experienced by residents and visitors alike.

It is adjacent to the well-traveled Interstate 25 corridor, one of the largest arteries of our economic life.

Therefore, the mesa top landscape is a strong component of collective psyche; it influences human regard for the

people and place and those who govern and manage the land.

Allowing the irreversible destruction of the La Bajada Mesa for the acquisition of materials more suitably obtained from existing mine operations or from other previously impacted sites is analogous to smashing an irreplaceable artifact for bits of disassociated jewels and gold.

It is also a cancer hazard. … long-term exposure to low levels in the air or on the skin can cause asthma-like respiratory problems and skin irritation such as dermatitis and itching. … The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health considers 20 ppm of formaldehyde to be immediately dangerous to life and health.”

just a few from the incredibly long list.

It is almost criminal that these are never mentioned and are really what gives “tobacco” its bad name. Equally reprehensible is the lack of studies that compare the effects of smoking organic tobacco with “cancer sticks.”

After all, mankind has evolved breathing smoke from nature’s and his own fires, so it is illogical to blame the smoke particles themselves.

War on Poverty can be won

I

t has been 50 years since President Lyndon Johnson declared the War on Poverty.

At that time, Congress passed many bills to begin the war.

Initially the programs (Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, Head Start, expansion of Social Security, Community Action, Vista and Child Nutrition Act) reduced poverty by 50 percent.

In 1975, the Earned Income Tax Credit was created, which also was successful in reducing poverty. These programs did significant good for this country’s poor.

In recent years, these same programs often have been under attack, with financial cuts that have made life harder for those living in poverty. Consequently, “economic mobility” — the measure of how many people can move up from poverty — has remained stagnant for many years. Today, the rates for poverty are 15 percent of U.S. adults and 22 percent of U.S. children; i.e., 46.5 million people, 16 million of whom are children. What are the ways we can help them financially rise to a decent standard of living?

For starters, we can raise the

As Lyndon Johnson stated, we cannot afford to lose the War on Poverty. It must be waged in private homes, public offices, from the courthouse to the White House. minimum wage. At $7.50 per hour (New Mexico’s minimum wage), no one can afford the necessities of living. Those trying to live on this get help from SNAP (food stamps), child care and the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit. However, if their income increases, they begin to lose these benefits, dragging them again into poverty. This is known as the “cliff effect.” We can restructure benefits so that, as a person’s income grows, benefits gradually decrease, allowing a family to begin to save.

Help with savings could also come through the Financial Security Act, which will be considered by Congress this year.

out of existence because it supposedly duplicated the Historic Districts Review Board. Alas, a glaring oversight has occurred in the Railyard District, which is not included in historic districts. Solar panels were allowed to obstruct views of the Santa Fe Depot and the Gross Kelly Warehouse. If the BCD-DRC were reviewing projects, this oversight might have been corrected. Was there a more sensitive placement possible, nestling the sturcture between three landmark historic buildings?

Could the structure have been lowered? I don’t know, but at least a public discussion would have taken place. Of course we all benefit from the lowered non-renewable energy use of one of our favorite restaurants but have sacrificed the view of the adjacent landmark buildings.

I encourage our new administration (congratulations to all, by the way) to either bring back the BCD-DRC or include the

Railyard in the historic districts before it is too late for the rest of the Railyard buildings. It is important that the public has a chance to learn about major changes to their adjacent neighborhoods and decide as a community our collective values.

And last but not least, one more piece of the Acequia Trail is nearly complete (behind the Santa Fe Indian School) and the St. Francis underpass design charrette was wellattended, and I am so glad it is moving forward. Thanks to Leroy Pacheco and his staff for their persistence.

Tax Credit can have a savings account set up when they file their taxes, so that they can put all or part of their tax credit into the account, with a match from the federal government.

Then, if a job is lost or illness happens, families would have money to fall back on. Such savings can also help with their children’s education or with buying a house.

The Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit also needs to be expanded so that low-income workers without children will benefit. Such increased benefits will increase economic mobility and security.

As Lyndon Johnson stated, we cannot afford to lose the War on Poverty. It must be waged in private homes, public offices, from the courthouse to the White House. That means everyone!

Let’s all work for the passage of legislation to increase opportunities for those in poverty. This wealthy country cannot allow the present income disparities to continue.

encourage eligible voters in Santa Fe County to participate in the upcoming 2014 primary election on June 3. All qualified citizens of the United States who are 18 years of age or older have the right to vote.

Remember, however, that for the primary election in New Mexico, you must be a registered Republican to vote in the Republican primary or a registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. Primary elections determine which candidates will appear on the ballot for the national election, Nov. 4.

Please take your right to vote seriously. Your participation helps determine who will represent the community and what authorities will be bestowed upon government by an electoral victory. The voters who participate have the ability to decide what direction the community will take for the benefit of its people. A state legislator, for example creates laws that affect various aspects of our lives: taxes, education, use of vital resources, road development and repair, trade and health care. Judges interpret laws that affect our constitutional rights or the outcomes of legal disputes.

County commissioners and city councilors set policy and create ordinances that affect taxes, water issues, health care, zoning, traffic, etc. In general, elected officials and their official actions affect our daily lives.

Therefore, it is the responsibility of every voter to study the issues, facts, and the qualifications and effectiveness of candidates desirous of becoming elected officials.

An informed elector is prepared to vote in what he or

she believes to be the best interests of the community. Weighing the facts and the potential outcomes is crucial to Geraldine the advanceSalazar ment of our democracy. It is democracy that guarantees the rights of freedom, justice, and liberty for all our citizens.

As a qualified voter, you choose whether or not to vote, but I encourage you to participate, study the issues, discuss them with others and exercise your right to vote.

The Bureau of Elections of the County Clerk’s Office is tasked with conducting fair, unbiased and secure elections.

The bureau staff provides voters with information regarding elections, registers every eligible citizen, trains precinct board members and is responsible for the conduct of elections assigned to them by the election code. These public services are part of the county clerk’s mission to enhance public knowledge about the election process in Santa Fe County.

If you have questions about your status as a voter, if you wish to register to vote or change your registration, or if you wish to participate as a poll worker, please call the Bureau of Elections at 986-6280. The last day to register or change your registration for the primary election is May 6.

Please participate in this upcoming election and exercise your right to vote!

uart Gallery on Canyon Road saved $5,500 last year through lower utility bills after an energy-efficiency upgrade to better new LED lighting and controls. With a rebate from the utility that helped to offset the cost, Nuart Gallery’s payback was six months. The gallery has lowered the overall cost of doing business.

Business energy-efficiency upgrades often are good news for customers because businesses with lower overhead can keep prices low. This is one of many benefits of energy efficiency that the Santa Fe Green Chamber of Commerce points out to its members.

Recently, the Green Chamber’s message got a big boost from Gov. Susana Martinez, who proclaimed the week of Jan. 13-20, as Energy Efficiency Awareness Week.

In her energy-efficiency proclamation, Martinez rightly recognized responsible management of energy use as a local, statewide, national and global concern both fiscally and environmentally. She called for public education and leadership in developing a “realistic energy ethic” and becoming aware of “energy efficiencies within our communities.”

Bonanza,” concluded that, if New Mexico’s electric utilities boost comprehensive, cost-effective energy conservation programs for their customers, and customers take advantage of them then: u Collectively, those customers will save nearly $1.7 billion between 2013 and 2020; u The state’s overall energy use in 2020 will decrease by 24 percent or the equivalent of 580,000 typical households; u The state will create 2,330 new jobs in the energy-efficiency industry and boost economic activity; u Air pollution from power plants will improve, as will public health; and She went on to note that New Mexico’s u 4.6 billion gallons of water consumed own state government projects have by power plants will be saved annually by resulted in a 16 percent energy savings and 2020. more than $2 million in annual utility bill These benefits of energy efficiency savings.

Weathering storm of public education 21

T

he history of New Mexico public education is rich with examples of communities meeting the needs of their people. This Land of Enchantment embodies a creative culture that nurtures individual freedom of exploration and expression. The needs of the child, which are addressed by parents and family since birth, create an educational current that will carry each child through life. This current is strengthened by educational models which agree that meeting individual student needs is paramount to effective learning and success.

At present, the winds of progress are telling our political leaders that the skills required for successful competition in global markets are the ultimate measure of success. They are being told that this skill set should be evaluated through standards-based testing. These standards-based assessments are often in direct opposition to the ideologies of our community-based education. This has created a sea of confused factions upon which our vessels of public education are being tossed about. We are fortunate to have many superb educators navigating this storm.

It seems important for proponents of the Common Core Standards to recognize that changing a community’s educational system necessitates changing community ideology.

They must also recognize that many of our communities have successfully sustained their ideologies through hundreds of years of foreign intrusion. On the other hand, it is important for communities to recognize that the Common Core skills for college and career readiness are critical to gaining knowledge and communicating outside one’s own community.

New Mexicans will weather this storm because we know that winds change, currents ebb and flow and change is inevitable. I found the public education town hall meeting, which aired on PBS on Jan. 16, to be extremely encouraging.

The teachers who participated in this presentation made it clear that their focus remains on the needs of the individual students within their communities, despite the overwhelming distractions mandated by outside forces.

They are the guiding light and they need our help. Material support is not enough. Parents, community leaders and businesses must all pull together, focus on our children and recognize that they are the most critical aspect of a sustainable future. Everyone must contribute. We must inspire them by example and implant within them a lifelong desire to learn.

Naturally, parents must take the lead. Unfortunately, a society that considers commercial consumption and entertainment to be the apex of achievement often requires both parents to work multiple jobs in order to compete. Time and resources for family education are often relegated.

There are, however, a great many of us who could engage.

Retired professionals, emptynesters or anyone looking for a rewarding experience can simply walk into their neighborhood school’s administrative offices and volunteer.

Funding for public education initiatives will be a main feature of the legislative sessions this month. We must ask our leaders to see through this storm of public education reform and focus on the individual needs of our children. We must ask them to reduce teacher to student ratios and support and encourage volunteer programs.

This will ease the administrative burden on our teachers and provide them opportunity to provide for the needs of their individual students.

Franchesca Perdue has known since high school that she wanted a career in law enforcement.

But she was too young to enroll in the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy when she graduated. Cadets must be 21 by the time they finish their training.

So Perdue did the next best things: She

enrolled in the criminal justice program at Santa Fe Community College and became a public safety aide with the city police department.

When she does get the chance to go to the academy, she said, she figures she’ll be ahead of the curve.

“I feel they’re going to be talking about a lot of things I have already learned,” she said. “And if you already know it, that’s an exciting feeling.”

Jerry Trujillo, a former Santa Fe Police Department captain who is chairman of the community college’s School of Trades, Technology, Sustainability and Professional Studies, said the criminal justice program draws people who are interested in the broader issues of law enforcement.

Students in Anita Nugent’s forensic science class, for example, include Marty Burney, an investigator with the New Mexico State Fire Marshal’s Office. He doesn’t plan to enter the law enforcement field — he’s currently focusing on busi-

Taking a global outlook

O

n a recent afternoon, Tony Gerlicz — sporting a tie with images of children from around the world — spoke with parents and students about Santa Fe Public Schools’ first International Baccalaureate school, set to open in August.

“What type of adults do you want your kids to be?” he asked the group gathered in the Kearny Elementary School gym.

The answers varied: Responsible. Productive. Happy. Inspired.

Forward-looking and empowered to pursue their own vision. Prepared for the global economy.

Bilingual — and maybe even trilingual.

“That, collectively, is the answer to why we’re doing an IB school,” said Gerlicz, head of the Mandela International Magnet School.

The school — named after the late South African president and civil rights leader — will open in on the campus of De Vargas Middle School as a public alternative to the regular middle school and high school programs, following the curriculum set by the nonprofit International Baccalaureate organization. Eventually, Mandela International will serve students in grades 7-12, but it will start this fall with 50 students in grades seven and eight.

Admission will be by lottery, scheduled for March 28. To ensure geographical fairness, 10 students for each grade level will be randomly selected from each of the district’s five zones. As of Friday, the district had received about 135 applications.

Gerlicz has hired three teachers so far — one from an IB school in Pakistan, one from a public high

George Schwartz was once a respected physician, board certified in family practice and emergency medicine. Considered a pioneer in emergency medicine who spent most of career in the ER, he was the senior editor of a 2,100-page tome on the field. And he says that in 35 years, no one filed a malpractice suit against him.

But eight years after the state’s Medical Board revoked his license, alleging misconduct in prescribing painkillers, the Santa Fe doctor is still fighting for the right to practice medicine — and for his reputation.

At the crux of Schwartz’s George tangled case is a settlement Schwartz with the board that he signed in 2008, saying he agreed to never again seek a new medical license. But Schwartz says he didn’t intend to sign away his right to practice medicine. At the time he signed the agreement, he says, he was suffering from several ailments, was heavily medicated and didn’t understand the terms of deal.

Last week Schwartz, 72, told a court-appointed mediator that he would accept any conditions set by the board if he could regain his medical license.

“Let them do whatever monitoring they want.

I don’t care,” he said in an interview Tuesday.

Schwartz earned his medical degree from the State University of New York in 1967. He worked for many years as an emergency physician. At one time, he focused his practice on treating Morgellons disease, a controversial disorder characterized by disfiguring sores on the skin and crawling sensations. Some call it a physical disorder and others say it is a condition involving delusions of a parasitic infection. He also treated people addicted to narcotics.

Then questions began to arise over Schwartz’s prescribing practices and the medical records he kept for his patients.

In 2005, he received a notice from the New Mexico Medical Board alleging misconduct tied to painkiller and narcotics prescriptions. The following year, the board voted to revoke his license.

Among the allegations were that Schwartz did not maintain adequate medical records for at least 55 patients for whom he prescribed controlled substances, that he obtained more than

Projects to close parts of county roads Santa Fe County’s Public Works Department is warning motorists of a couple of road closures beginning Monday.

A section of Calle Enrique in the Piñon Hills subdivision is scheduled to be closed Monday, March 17,

through April 4 while crews replace culverts under the road. Local properties will have access at all times, the notice said.

The bridge section of County Road 88 (La Puebla Road) and County Road 88D (Placita Road) will each be closed for five days while bridge deck work is completed.

The roads will not be closed simultaneously, the department said.

Placita Road will be closed to through traffic from Monday, March 17, through Friday, March 21. During this time, traffic will be rerouted through La Puebla Road.

La Puebla Road will be closed to through traffic south of N.M. 76 from March 24 through March 28.

Police say Owens then plowed into a crowd of concertgoers, hitting and killing a man from the Netherlands on a bicycle and an Austin woman on a moped. Investigators say he eventually crashed into a taxi and parked van and tried to run before police subdued him with a stun gun.

The warrant says a video from the police unit giving chase “shows the Honda accelerating into crowds, not simply crowded areas but crowds of people who are hit by the car and flung into the air.” It adds that Owens drove “for almost three city blocks, accelerating into crowds and does not use his brakes, as in the video there are no brake lights visible from the rear of the Honda.”

Owens also faced 2012 charges in Alaska of criminal mischief, and a warrant was issued for him after he failed to appear in court. In 2010, meanwhile, he was arrested in Texas

Los Angeles subway dig uncovers prehistoric stash LOS ANGELES — Scientists have long known that long before hipsters and tourists were crowding Los Angeles’ trendy Miracle Mile district, prehistoric animals were doing the same.

Now, thanks to a subway dig, they’re discovering that sea lions may have been swimming nearby as well.

An exploratory subway shaft dug just down the street from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has uncovered

a treasure trove of fossils in the land where saber-tooth cats and other prehistoric animals once roamed, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

They include mollusks, asphalt-saturated sand dollars and possibly the mouth of a sea lion dating to 2 million years ago, a time when the Pacific Ocean extended several miles farther inland than it does today.

ASPEN, Colo. — Authorities said Saturday that a third suspect was arrested in the killing of a socialite in this Colorado resort town, more than a week after a couple who rented the woman’s home were taken into custody.

Katherine M. Carpenter, 56, was apprehended Friday night in the death of Nancy Pfister, 57, the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office said. Carpenter was being held without bond on

suspicion of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

Pfister was the daughter of the late Betty and Art Pfister, longtime prominent Aspen residents who co-founded the Buttermilk ski area west of town that’s hosted the Winter X Games multiple times.

Her body was found in an upstairs closet at her home on Feb. 26, but investigators have not said when or how she was

killed. Authorities said they arrested William F. Styler III, 65, and Nancy Christine Styler, 62, at a lodge in Basalt on March 3. They were staying at the lodge after apparently moving out of Pfister’s home Feb. 22, the same day she returned from a vacation.

The Stylers, who are married, are expected to be formally charged Monday with first-degree murder.

DWI, failure to pay fines and a probation violation. A sheriff’s deputy responded to a report of a driver striking a curb on the 4000 block of Calle Lucia, according to a deputy’s report.

Romero, 25, of Santa Fe was arrested at about 8:30 p.m. Friday on charges of DWI, no insurance and a traffic violation. According to a report, a deputy pulled Romero over because he had passed a vehicle in front of him that was preparing to make a left turn in 4100 block of South Meadows Road. The suspect had a breath alcohol content of 0.08, the report said. u Noe Dominguez, 29, of Santa Fe was arrested at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday at a checkpoint on Cerrillos Road and Vegas Verdes on charges of aggravated DWI, careless driving, no insurance, no proof of registration and having an open container. u Eldi Tena-Hernandez, 43, of Santa Fe was arrested at about

YVONNE CARLETON Yvonne Carleton passed away on March 4th peacefully in her home at the Commons in Santa Fe, NM. She was 93.

Strong willed, and sometimes irreverent, Yvonne was able to combine out-of-the box thinking with a down-to earth sense of practicality. As an active participant in life, she loved building community and managed to make an indelible connection with those around her every day.

Born April 20th, 1920 in Kent, England, Yvonne grew up in Yorkshire. She lived through World War II in London where she served six years in the Royal Air Force. Following the war, she set out alone for NYC with $80 in her pocket. She worked at NY Columbia Presbyterian Hospital before moving to Chicago where she met and married children’s book author and illustrator Brinton Turkle.

She is survived by her children Matilda Rubin, Haynes Turkle and Jonathan Turkle, as well as her grandchildren Liam and Anna Turkle.

Yvonne lived a full life filled with numerous adventures across many countries and places in the US. She enjoyed ceramics, folk dancing, camping, theater, and art. Through her life experience, she learned never to be afraid to ask for what she wanted. In later years, she designed and built her own home and gardens at the Commons in Santa Fe where she continued to use her creative energy on art, poetry, and the community around her.

Program: College education helps recruits Continued from Page C-1 ness administration — but he said he finds criminal justice fascinating.

Cindy Mascarenas is eying the field. She has been working toward her associate degree for the past several years. And she cited the popular TV show CSI as a motivating factor. She has worked in mortuaries and with the state Office of the Medical Investigator, she said.

Irvin Saldivar hopes to get into the field of law enforcement, but at 20 he’s too young for the academy. The classes give him a chance to prepare and decide what branch of law enforcement he wants to chase — and he’s saving some money by attending school close to home.

Some of the students are already employed in law enforcement, like patrol Sgt. Donald Duran, who is approaching retirement and used to work with Trujillo.

He said he wanted to go back to school to get credit for some of the material he learned at the state’s Law Enforcement Academy.

To his surprise, the veteran officer said, he found he learned a lot from the courses. Report writing, he said, was a great refresher course for his grammar, and he said the courtroom survival course was good preparation for testifying in highprofile trials.

The criminal justice program offers 22 classes that range from legal matters to more hands-on activities, such as a forensics.

Students in the program can pursue one of two associate degrees, as well as a couple of certifications. The program attracted 110 students this semester. Students can transfer the credits to a criminal justice degree program at New Mexico

Highlands University, and Trujillo said he’s developing similar partnerships with other colleges.

Most local law enforcement agencies don’t require officers to have a degree, but the Santa Fe department offers an extra $50 a month to officers with an associate degree, $100 a month for a bachelor’s degree and a $150 a month for a master’s degree. The New Mexico State Police

requires officers to take 60 credit hours as part of their employment.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Robert Garcia said he believes some college education definitely helps new recruits, although he also pointed out that each law enforcement agency has its own curriculum. He said taking criminal justice courses demonstrates dedication.

The community college’s criminal justice program undeniably benefits from Trujillo’s’s experience. He retired from the force in 2010 as a captain, citing a desire to spend more time with family. Around that time, he started working more at the community college and eventually took over its criminal justice program. Trujillo teaches an introduction to criminal justice class and a higher-level course. He said he uses his old bullet-proof vest to demonstrate how Kevlar works.

Trujillo has nearly finished setting up a summer internship program with the city department for his students, and he helped create a police supervision certificate for officers looking for promotions.

Andrea Sassa Archuleta, a lawyer who has worked both as a prosecutor and defense attorney, teaches several legal classes in the program, including the popular courtroom survival class for officers.

She said she often hears that she worked her students hard, but that they’re grateful for the experience.

“Students do need to learn theory, but they also need to learn how theory works in the real world,” Archuleta said. “It behooves all of us to have people in those positions who are well-educated, thoughtful and perform their jobs with integrity.”

License: Board wants court to dismiss complaint Continued from Page C-1 1,000 doses of controlled substances from pharmacies and distributors that he could not account for — including hydrocodone and oxycodone — and that he prescribed questionable quantities of drugs.

Schwartz denied these allegations and appealed in District Court. Judge Daniel Sanchez overturned the board’s decision, saying it was arbitrary, capricious and “tantamount to denial of due process,” in part because Schwartz was denied the chance to have a lawyer help him during a hearing on the misconduct allegations. Sanchez sent the matter back to the board.

But a new hearing was never held, and the Medical Board did not respond last week to a request for an explanation.

Instead, Schwartz’s attorney and the board’s prosecutor reached a settlement in 2008. Under the deal, Schwartz surrendered his medical license in return for being allowed to continue to consult and perform research. But he could never reapply for a medical license. The order also stipulated the action would be reported to national physician databases.

Schwartz says he was suffering from severe medical problems at the time — renal failure, gallstones and bilateral hernias — was heavily medicated and didn’t fully understand the meaning of the order. For example, he said, he thought it allowed him to continue to consult with patients and offer second opinions on cases. He alleges the board’s chief prosecutor placed “undue pressure” on him to sign.

Within three days of learning the “true meaning and implications” of the order, Schwartz says, he twice faxed a rescission letter to the board, the last time on June 30, 2008.

In subsequent years, Schwartz, lacking financial resources, started filing lawsuits to try to undo the agreement.

“He tried to do a variety of things to get his reputa-

tion restored and obtain a hearing,” said attorney Brian Egolf, who filed a motion for declaratory judgment last year on Schwartz’s behalf.

The complaint, filed in May 2013, says the settlement was “procured by duress” and is “illegal” because Schwartz’s rescission was “timely and legally valid.” It also points out that the order is in conflict with a statute prohibiting medical consulting by someone who is not a licensed physician, and is therefore null and void.

If the court agrees, that could set up the possibility of a new hearing on whether Schwartz’s license should have been revoked.

The board, which is seeking to have the complaint dismissed, said in a motion filed in January that Schwartz has unsuccessfully litigated the issue of whether he should be licensed to practice medicine in three previous cases, including one in federal court. In this case, the board says he “presents no better merits than the previous three cases.” The board asks to “dismiss this lawsuit in the hopes that such dismissal will finally result in an end to [Schwartz’s] putative litigation against the Board.”

The board claims in its motion that the relief Schwartz is seeking is barred by the statute of limitations and that he made a “unilateral mistake” in signing the order.

Stephen Fox, a gallery owner and friend of Schwartz’s, said last week, “I think he’s suffered some terrible injustices at the hands of the Medical Board that deserve to be aired in court. He’s never really had a chance to rescind. It was a bogus agreement, and all George is looking for is a medical license hearing.”

“He does have a shot,” Egolf said of Schwartz’s latest effort. And as for whether it is safe for Schwartz to return to the practice of medicine, Egolf said, “I don’t see why not.”

school in Alaska and a third from Santa Fe — and plans to hire two more soon. The school will share some campus resources with De Vargas, including the nurse and counselor, and the cafeteria and gym facilities.

Within two years, he said, the school will have a permanent campus of its own.

Gerlicz said classes will likely start around 9 a.m. and end at about 4 p.m.

A program of deeper inquiry International Baccalaureate advocates say their lessons are set up to draw deeper inquiry out of students about their place in the world and how the topics they study impact their communities. Students are required to choose two languages — English and Spanish at Mandela, and, if Gerlicz gets his way, Mandarin eventually will be an option.

Students also will study core subjects, including English, language arts, science and math, and will receive social studies lessons in Spanish as well as English. They will take physical education and art classes, too.

Understanding the IB mission Whether students and parents understand the difference between an IB public school and a regular public school is another matter, which is why the district has scheduled informational sessions through this week. Several parents and their children at the Kearny event acknowledged they didn’t quite get it, but they assumed an IB school requires more study and offers smaller class sizes.

Laura Miramontes, a sixthgrader at Kearny, said, “Maybe it means more work. It will prepare me for college better. It will challenge me in ways I can understand.”

Mack Synder, a senior at Desert Academy, which adopted an IB curriculum in 2007, said an IB school “likes to study subjects with a vision of their global importance.” A science report for a neurology class involves writing a paper on how drugs impact the brain while focusing on the drug-use

problems of Northern New Mexico, he said. “It’s a very in-depth look at one area. You can take it to a greater scale of knowledge.” He said the project enabled him to understand why drug use can follow a family line for generations.

Desert Academy math teacher Bob Alley said the IB environment allows him to focus more on statistics rather than calculus courses as he also delves into the history of math to keep students engaged. Desert’s arts and film chairman, Randy Bennett, said the philosophy of International Baccalaureate schools allows teachers to “set up the classroom so that students teach students, putting learning and teaching in their hands.” This approach can include Socratic-style discussions, in which a student facilitates the conversation for up to 30 minutes, according to Desert junior Taylor Bacon.

But shouldn’t this sort of learning occur in every public school?

Gerlicz shrugged and smiled at the thought. “You’re preaching to the choir,” he said, adding that it may, in fact, be occurring in some classrooms but may not be part of a school’s overall approach to learning.

The first IB school was established in the late 1960s in Geneva by the nonprofit.

Gerlicz said the international program was designed to develop inquiry skills while fostering communication and peace among nations. As of 2014, there are more than 3,700 IB schools in 147 countries. New Mexico has seven, including the private Desert Academy in Santa Fe. More than 90 percent of those schools are public schools.

IBs require extra operation costs Districts must apply for IB accreditation and ensure that their teachers undergo continual professional development, which usually takes at least two weeks every summer.

At Desert, the cost of each teacher’s two-week IB training ranges from $1,200 to $1,500.

Santa Fe Public Schools is paying an application fee of $4,000 to receive IB accreditation. The district also must pay an annual fee of $9,500 in 2014 and 2015. Once the school receives accreditation, it will pay $8,920 each year.

Mandela International’s total operating cost for the first year is about $429,000. All but $85,000 of that has been approved in the district’s 201314 budget. In addition, IB schools pay assessment fees — for IB officials at other sites

around the world to grade and review students’ work every semester. According to the IB website, that fee is $684 for every subject assessed, plus $67 per student. Michael Hagele, who is coordinating the district’s secondary reform plan, said SFPS will bear those costs.

‘Anybody can do it’ Gerlicz founded Monte del Sol Charter School in 1999 and directed it for 10 years before becoming the director of the American School of Warsaw — an IB school — in Poland for several years. He said he is aware of criticisms of IB schools: Because they teach the history of the world, they are accused of being un-American; they are expensive; and they often are considered elitist.

But in Santa Fe, he said, the IB school will be open to all Santa Fe students — there there are no requirements for incoming students.

“Anybody can do it,” he told the Kearny assembly. “It will be challenging, but don’t we want them to be challenged?”

prodded by lawsuits, lower budgets and public opinion, have been rethinking solitary confinement, the practice of locking prisoners alone in cells for 22 or more hours a day over a period of months, years or even decades.

Tom Clements, Colorado’s previous executive director of corrections, believed many inmates in segregation cells did not need to be there. He had cut the number of inmates in solitary confinement in half, to 726 from about 1,500. Raemisch has decreased that number to 577, and he has moved all but a few inmates with serious mental illnesses into other settings. Raemisch emphasizes that 97 percent of inmates will eventually be released.

“It’s our job to get them prepared and determined to be law-abiding citizens when they go back,” he said. “I don’t want any new victims.”

He hopes to go further, making changes in the training of corrections officers, the preparation inmates receive before they are released and the way that corrections officers interact with inmates.

Four months later, how much oil spilled, burned still unclear

By Jay Reeves The Associated Press

ALICEVILLE, Ala. — Environmental regulators promised an aggressive cleanup after a tanker train hauling 2.9 million gallons of crude oil derailed and burned in a west Alabama swamp in early November amid a string of North American oil train crashes.

So why is dark, smelly crude oil still oozing into the water four months later?

The isolated wetland smelled like a garage when a reporter from The Associated Press visited last week, and the charred skeletons of burned trees rose out of water covered with an iridescent sheen and swirling, weathered oil. A snake and a few minnows were some of the few signs of life.

An environmental group now says it has found ominous traces of oil moving downstream along an unnamed tributary toward a big creek and the Tombigbee River, less than three miles away. And the mayor of a North Dakota town where a similar crash occurred in December fears ongoing oil pollution problems in his community, too.

As the nation considers new means of transporting fuel over long distances, critics of crude oil trains have cited the Alabama derailment as an example of what can go wrong when tanker cars carrying millions of gallons of so-called Bakken crude leave the tracks. Questions about the effectiveness of the Alabama cleanup come as the National Transportation Safety Board considers tighter rules for the rail transportation of Bakken oil, which is produced mainly by the fracking process in the Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana. Oil production is increasing there, boosting the amount of oil being transported

across the country.

Environmentalist John Wathen, who has conducted tests and monitored the Alabama site for months for Waterkeeper Alliance, said Genesee & Wyoming railroad and regulators did the bare minimum to spruce up an isolated, rural site and left once the tracks were repaired so trains could run again.

“I believe they really thought that because it’s out of sight, out of mind, out in the middle of a swamp, that nobody was going to pay attention,” Wathen said.

Regulators and the company deny any such thing occurred, however. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, which oversaw the cleanup, say more than 10,700 gallons of oil were skimmed from the water after the derailment, and workers collected about 203,000 gallons of oil from damaged rail cars using pumps. Another 290 cubic yards of oily dirt was excavated with heavy equipment, or enough to cover a basketball court with soil nearly 2 feet deep.

Yet four months later, officials still say no one knows exactly how much oil was spilled. That’s mainly because an unknown amount of oil burned in a series of explosions and a huge fire.

About a month after the crash, the head of Alabama’s

environmental agency, Lance LeFleur, promised “aggressive recovery operations” in a written assessment for a state oversight commission.

Michael Williams, a spokesman for the Connecticut-based Genesee & Wyoming, which owns the short-line Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway line where the crash occurred, said the company is still monitoring the site closely and maintaining a system of barriers.

But regulators and the railroad confirm one of Wathen’s worst fears: that environmental agencies let the railroad repair the badly damaged rail bed and lay new tracks before all the spilled oil was removed.

Ed Overton, an environmental sciences professor at Louisiana State University, said spilled crude can linger at a site indefinitely if it’s buried in the ground. Depending on the amount of oil that remains, he said, containment devices may be needed in the swamp for at least a couple of years.

But Bakken crude evaporates quickly once exposed to air because of its composition, Overton said, so the fact that oil remains in the swamp isn’t “the end of the world. It’s going to look bad for awhile. It’s amazing how quickly Mother Nature can handle such things, but it will take time.”

Off the bench but still serving

heritage or social position — to have gone to college, to law school, been an attorney, then a District Court judge, Supreme Court justice and chief justice demonstrates so well that the American dream is alive.” — Patricio Serna

Retired chief justice mentors law student, volunteers at Food Depot and still has time to paint and pen a novel

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

P

atricio Serna recently visited the building where he had spent 16 years — the New Mexico Supreme Court Building.

It was just a few days before Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales was sworn in. The retired chief justice had to go by the court to pick up the paperwork that allowed him to administer the oath of office.

It’s obvious that Serna, 74, still has a lot of awe for the building — built in 1937 by the Works Progress Administration, a New Deal program. Going to the law library, Serna, out of habit, spoke in whispers, even though the library had been closed for the past several weeks to replace the floor. He proudly showed a reporter a second-floor hall where the walls are covered by portraits of retired justices, including himself. “These tiles came from Italy,” he said, pointing to the floor. “I loved working here.”

But Serna, who retired in August 2012, has been too busy to spend much time fixating on the past. He was named a Santa Fe Living Treasure, and he seems determined to be just that.

He is mentoring a first-year law student who is at The University of New Mexico on a scholarship named for him, which was established after he retired. The student is a single mother from Santa Fe. “Every two weeks, I go and I review everything she’s doing, and her writing. And I answer questions on the topics.

She’s coming along very well. She’s a very hard worker.”

Serna has an exhibit of his paintings of New Mexico landscapes (four acrylics and a watercolor) at the UNM School of Law. He said he doesn’t want to sell the paintings, but he’s looking into having prints made for sale. Painting, he said, is something he did as a young man but put aside for many years to focus on his family and his judicial career.

And he’s starting to work on a nonfiction book about an interesting chapter in recent New Mexico history — which he doesn’t want to discuss publicly until publication is closer.

And yet he still has time to volunteer at The Food Depot every Wednesday. “I even bought a belt for my lower back,” he said. “Lifting those 50 pound bags of potatoes, my back was starting to get sore.”

Last year, after being tapped by then-Mayor David Coss, Serna headed the commission that hammered out suggested changes in the city charter. These resulted in nine proposed charter amendments, all of which were approved by voters in the recent city election.

During the campaign, Serna chaired a political action committee that worked to pass the most controversial of the amendments, which made the Santa Fe mayor a full-time position.

That goes into effect in 2018.

Serna’s career is nothing short of a Horatio Algiers story. He was born in Reserve, N.M., in Catron County, one of eight children of Pablo Fajardo Serna. His mother died before he was 2 years old. When he was a child, his house didn’t have indoor plumbing or electricity.

Serna said he did well in high school and, in fact, was the first member of his family to graduate from high school. But he said he didn’t plan to go to college until a local priest helped get him into the old College of St. Joseph on the Rio Grande in Albuquerque. After he graduated, he got drafted into the U.S. Army for a two-year hitch. Serna then got law degree at

He worked at the Equal Opportunity Commission in Washington, D.C., then returned to New Mexico in the 1970s to work for then Attorney General Toney Anaya. He was elected as a state District Court judge in Santa Fe in 1984. In 1996, he successfully ran for Supreme Court.

Social media dos & don’ts for tweens

W

hen I was asked to teach 10- to 14-year-olds at a local school, I was excited to prepare a curriculum I thought would be stimulating and valuable.

When my contact asked me to include texting and social media etiquette, I was reminded just how far into the millennium we are. Entire generations are being raised with cellphones and social media as if they have always existed.

Talk about fingers doing the walking. Those thumbs move at the speed of light, and messages are sent into the world faster than they Bizia Greene are typed.

Etiquette Rules!

And like generations before me, I worry for our youth. First, I worry about the health risks associated with constant physical contact with a device emitting radiation and Wi-Fi. Or simply being near it for hours, days and years on end.

Advocates advise that no child under 12 use mobile technology, and yet retailers are pushing baby-oriented games on tablets.

What about the exposure to instant gratification? We are raising a culture of impatient people. Almost anything can be had at the push of a button — even human contact albeit in words and pictures. As for the contact, technology is doing a disservice to our youth, whose social development is practically aborted. How does one learn to converse, make eye contact and move about in the world with ease and confidence if they spend hours on end at the computer and cellphone? The irony is that through technology, we are all connected while in total isolation. Yet with all the information on the Web, our youth aren’t learning social skills required for face-to-face contact.

As a result, etiquette and behavior have evolved. Mobile devices have no boundaries — they’re portable, instant and completely private.

No wonder texting is the most popular form of communication for teens. It gives one freedom of privacy, even in the most public of settings — no family members to eavesdrop on a phone conversation in the living room.

Here is an abbreviated sample of my etiquette tips for tech savvy tweens and young teens: u Texting and social media come with great responsibility. It is important to remember that everything sent over the Internet or a cellphone can be shared with the entire world, so use good judgment in sending messages and pictures.

When you press send, it cannot be taken back. u Never send mean messages or gossip on a cellphone or over the Internet, especially when other people will see it. When you write something, ask yourself: “Would I say this in person?” or “How would I feel if someone said this about me?” Texting and social media, like Facebook, sometimes make us feel like we can share hurtful things because we don’t see the reaction of the person receiving the message.

If you have a disagreement with a friend, you should talk and work things out together. It is better to save a friendship than to end it with the push of a button. u The abbreviations you use in a text or online are not correct for homework assignments or writing notes to friends and family. Spell out words when not communicating via technology. u There are certain places where texting or using a cellphone would not be right, like the movies, a classroom, walking on a sidewalk, the dinner table and especially behind the wheel of a car. You can always wait or ask permission and excuse yourself if you have an important call or text. u When hanging out with friends and family, limit calls and texts. When you are visiting with people in person — be there in person. u When using social media, make sure your privacy settings are in place so only close friends and family can see your profile. u Set a daily time limit for technology with your parents, like how much time you can be online. That way you can make sure to spend the majority of your time outside playing, visiting friends, eating at the right time and sleeping long hours. u Turn your phone off at night and charge it outside your bedroom like in the kitchen.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, March 16, 2014: This year you often focus on relationships. The issue for you might be how much you need to give. You will deal with guilt and resentment in learning where the correct boundaries lie for you. If you are single, you will want your potential sweetie to reveal more of him- or herself.

Don’t rush the development of this bond; let a relationship build. If you are attached, the two of you often see situations differently. Use the many opinions you can come up with as a couple to add to the strength of your decisions. Virgo can test your patience!

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Scratch pad

year ago, I wrote about how dreadfully pathetic Google Voice is. That is the app that listens to your voice mail and then emails you a supposed transcript. To test the system, I had left a series of urgentsounding voice mails for my editor, Tom the Butcher, and they all came in too garbled to understand. For example, when I left this message: “I have cut the brake cable in your Prius because I want to have your wife all to myself. It was wrong, and I regret it. Don’t get in that car.”

It became: “Cut the briefcase came on your previous, so I wanna ask you wife all to myself with long and I regret hello just crazy. We was that call.”

Gene In the intervening year, much has Weingarten improved in the world. The stock The Washington market has continued its recovery.

Post The odious Defense of Marriage Act is dead. Congress raised the debt ceiling, like adults. So I thought I’d check back with Google Voice to see if my shaming had prompted it to improve its system.

Nope!

Message to Tom: “My head’s in the oven. I can’t live with what a meanspirited personally obnoxious hack I am, an intellectual fraud with a withered soul and ridiculous hair. If only someone were around to call and reassure me.”

Message to Tom: “Hey, Tom, in the story I just handed in I accidentally wrote that Alan Dershowitz was arrested for money laundering, cannibalism and crimes against humanity. Actually his clients were. Make sure to correct that so old Dersh doesn’t own The Washington Post.”

Message to Tom: “Barack Obama and Edward Snowden have agreed to an exclusive simultaneous interview with me, but you need to call the White House right away to confirm I work for The Post.”

Message as delivered by Google Voice: “Hello. K. Bravo on it, which sucks don’t have a great one. Exclusive simultaneous interview with me. Give me a call whenever right away to confirm that I work for the boat.”

Message to Tom: “Lisa, my darling, tonight’s the night we escape and I take you to heights of ecstasy Tom can’t even imagine. ...

Bobcats vanquish Escalante for trophy

No. 3 Hagerman earns 2nd state title in 4 years

By James Barron The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE – The back of the T-shirts the Hagerman Bobcats wore said everything about their approach this week for the Class A State Boys Basketball Tournament.

“Unfinished business.”

“We rest now,” said Jessie RodriHagerman 56 guez, the senior Escalante 41 wing said.

Rest easy, Bobcats. They took the Class A championship by storm on Saturday night by dominating the Escalante Lobos to the tune of a 56-41 score. It was the second blue trophy in four years for the No. 3 Bobcats (26-4), but what mattered was removing the foul taste of last year’s A loss to Cliff from their mouths.

A late technical Bill Russom foul in that game Escalante coach broke a 44-all tie and led to the Cowboys’ title. Hagerman was determined to make up for that. While Cliff was knocked out by the fifthseeded Lobos in the A semifinals on Thursday, the Bobcats didn’t stick their noses up at their opponents.

“Well, that team beat Cliff, and we beat [the Lobos] by [15],” said Alejandro Ramos.

The trick to winning an 11th straight game was for Hagerman to maintain its focus. It was there when the Bobcats went on a 15-3 finish in the second quarter to stake themselves to a 30-15 halftime lead.

Escalante (24-4) turned the ball over five times in the second quarter and went 3-for-14 from the field as Hagerman’s defense stifled the Lobos’ inside attack.

“I think early on, and throughout the game, turnovers and stuff we had and not rebounding all came out to be turning points in the game,” said Bill Russom, Escalante head coach.

“We just never could get a rhythm going.”

The Lobos had one for a brief moment to open the third quarter, when an 8-0 run trimmed a 32-15 deficit to 32-23 on Adam Edwards’

ALBUQUERQUE t’s a frustrating fact of life in the current state of Class AAA boys basketball.

Stand face to face with mighty Albuquerque Hope Christian, play perhaps the perfect game at both ends of the floor — and still lose by 20 points.

St. Michael’s was far from perfect in Saturday morning’s state championship rematch with the Huskies in The Pit, making 55 the final outcome Hope a mere formalSt. Mike’s 34 ity by halftime as Hope rolled to its second straight state title, fifth in six years and ninth since 2002.

Behind 17 points from Austen Drake and a suffocating defensive effort from the entire team, the Huskies routed the Horsemen 55-34 in The Pit. They spotted St. Michael’s leads of 2-0 and 4-3, but never trailed again after Dedrick Milford rattled home a shot off the glass in the low post three minutes into the first quarter.

The Horsemen (24-8) had just 10 points at halftime and went the final 7 minutes, 44 seconds of the second quarter without scoring.

That span stretched another two minutes into the third quarter, ending only when Marcus PincheiraSandoval bounced in an uncontested layup in the lane.

The drought started with Hope (28-3) holding a 14-10 lead, a time when the Horsemen crowd was still very much into it. It ended with Pincheira-Sandoval’s bucket cutting into what was a 20-point cushion.

By then, the partisan Pit crowd was mostly silent.

When the final buzzer sounded, Hope head coach Jim Murphy walked off the court as a state champion for the 12th time. That equaled the state record held by

Big scorers put up small numbers for St. Mike’s Hope keeps Dominguez, Flores scoreless in first three quarters

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — What was giving opposing teams nightmares for the duration of the Class AAA State Tournament ended up being nonexistent for the St. Michael’s boys basketball team on Saturday morning.

After using senior post players Justin Flores (6-foot-4) and Isaiah Dominguez (6-foot-3) to put points on the board and spark comebacks, the two big men combined

for just eight points in a 55-34 loss to topseeded Albuquerque Hope Christian in the Class AAA championship game in The Pit. The two were kept scoreless in the first three quarters and were held to three combined shot attempts in that span. The inactivity by the posts cost the No. 2 Horsemen (24-8) to fall behind early as they faced a 14-7 deficit at the end of the first quarter. By halftime, they were trailing 24-10.

The problem for the Horsemen began to grow exponentially. Once the Hope lead got bigger and bigger, St. Michael’s was forced to use Flores and Dominguez even less.

WESTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT

NMSU beats Vandals for 3rd title

By John Marshall The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — New Mexico State coach Marvin Menzies walked into the postgame news conference with a net around his neck, the latest trophy from a run of titles.

No matter how many times the Aggies have earned a spot in the NCAA tournament, it never gets old.

Daniel Mullings scored 18 points, Sim Bhullar added 14 and NMSU 77 New Mexico State won Idaho 55 its third straight Western Athletic Conference Tournament title by routing Idaho 77-55 Saturday night.

“Making the [NCAA] tournament is obviously a goal we had,” Menzies said.

“I’m very excited about getting back and hopefully making some noise when we get there.”

New Mexico State (26-9) often worked its offense through Bhullar, and the Vandals were unable to stop the Aggies’ 7-foot-5, 355-pound center around the rim or rotate fast enough when he kicked it out.

The second-seeded Aggies jumped to a big early lead and never gave Idaho a chance, shooting 56 percent while outscoring the Vandals 46-16 inside.

Bhullar was named tournament MVP. Tshilidzi Nephawe added 12 points for New Mexico State, which had a 38-21 advantage in rebounds to earn an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament instead of having to sweat out Selection Sunday.

“This year’s been a roller coaster ride,” Mullings said. “Like coach always says at the beginning of the season, all the teams in the NCAA, every team has its trials and tribulations just like we had ours. We had a couple highs, good games and good wins in nonconference and we had a couple of lows in conference play, but the good thing about us is we stick together.”

the teams’ last meeting this season, but was no match for the Aggies in its first conference title game since 1993.

Stephen Madison scored 17 points, and Mike Scott had 14 for the Vandals, who haven’t made the NCAA Tournament since 1990.

“Our team battled. There was a point in the season where we could have given up and we didn’t,” Idaho coach Don Verlin said. “The last month of the season, we were playing as well as anyone in the Western Athletic Conference. I thought we played well in this tournament, but New Mexico State played better.”

The Vandals were the surprise of the bracket, the plucky underdogs with the los-

ing record who had won one WAC Tournament game in eight years before this season.

After going 7-9 in the WAC and 14-17 overall, Idaho opened the conference tournament by rallying in the second half to beat Missouri-Kansas City and followed that by knocking off top-seeded and regular-season champion Utah Valley.

New Mexico State had to survive a lastsecond shot to hold off Seattle in its tournament opener and rallied in the second half to knock off Cal State Bakersfield in the semifinals.

These teams split two games during the regular season; New Mexico blew out Idaho by 24 in Las Cruces, and the Vandals pulled out a six-point win on their home court.

ATLANTA — Patric Young scored 16 points and No. 1 Florida turned up the defensive pressure in the second half, rallying for a 56-49 victory over Tennessee in the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference tournament Saturday.

Florida (31-2) extended its school-record winning streak to 25 in a row after trailing by 10 in the first half. The Gators were down 35-28 at the break, but they wore down the Volunteers (21-12) over the final 20 minutes. After shooting 54 percent in the opening period, Tennessee made just 5 of 20 shots and turned the ball over 11 times, leaving its fate in the hands of the NCAA selection committee.

The Gators, improving to 20-0 against SEC opponents, will face Kentucky or Georgia in the championship game Sunday.

It couldn’t last, though. Volcano Vista went 11 for 32 the rest of the way, which helped the Lady Trojans chip away at the margin. They had an 11-3 run that included a pair of 3s, with McCants baking in the last triple for a 31-27 margin with 2:24.

Still, the Lady Hawks made enough shots to hold off Mayfield. Battle hit a 3 during a 6-0 run to open the third quarter to make it 38-27. When the Lady Trojans hit two more 3s during a 9-0 run, the margin tightened to 38-36.

She buried an open 3 from the top of the key for a 50-47 lead the Lady Hawks never lost.

“Deezha passed the ball to me, and I think they lost where I was at that point in the game,” Fenske said. “I just knew the whole time I was going to take that shot. And right when I took it, I could feel it right off my hands that it was going in.”

She wasn’t the only one who knew. Maya turned away from the scene before she shot, knowing what the outcome would be.

“I don’t think it was the kids’ fault; it was my fault,” Maya said. “We really didn’t have any strategy there.

We were just talking about, ‘How in the world do we leave her open?’ ” Stunning, isn’t it?

Scorers: Hope had significant size advantage Continued from Page D-1 “We didn’t do a good job of entering the ball into our offense,” St. Michael’s head coach Ron Geyer said. “When you’re behind by double digits, then you have to push the ball up a little more. That’s one of the reasons Justin didn’t get as many touches. We were trying to come down and trying to make a quick shot.”

Adding more salt to the Horsemen’s wounds was the fact that Hope (28-3) had a significant size advantage. The shortest Huskie guard is 5-foot-11, whereas St. Michael’s guards Bradley Vaughan and Marcus Pincheira-Sandoval are 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-9, respectively. Those long arms along with a very smothering defense from Hope kept the guards from feeding the ball to the posts.

“It was hard to get the ball inside to Justin or to Isaiah,” Pincheira-Sandoval said. “It’s just hard to get the ball when they’re up in your face. They’re wide too, they have length.”

It was strange for the Horsemen to not have valuable play from their posts since they have been the team’s saviors during the tournament.

In the quarterfinals against Shiprock, Flores scored eight of the team’s first 10 points in the third quarter. In the process, he drew a lot of fouls from the Chieftains and helped St. Michael’s hit 11 free throws in the third period.

At the end of the third quarter, Dominguez hit a shot that gave the Horsemen a 34-33 lead after they had been trailing the whole game. Dominguez finished the game with 11 points and 10 rebounds with Flores scoring a game-high 17 points.

Against Lovington in the semifinals, the pair combined for 23 points and 17 rebounds and kept 6-foot-8 Wildcat center Stephen Lennox to 15 points and 10 rebounds.

Hope head coach Jim Murphy saw what the Horsemen’s inside game did to those teams, so he made it a point to 6-foot-5 center Austen Drake — who finished with 17 points to lead Hope — to shut it down.

“I challenged Austen to do a job,” Murphy said. “They want to run things through Flores. Their inside game really hurt Shiprock and I thought it hurt against Lovington. I thought Austen did a really good job tonight.”

Hope stuck to the game plan, and in doing so kept the Horsemen from executing theirs.

By shutting down the St. Michael’s posts, Hope was able to take over everything else.

“They beat us in every category,” Geyer said.

Devastating: Horsemen committed 20 turnovers Continued from Page D-1 Ralph Tasker — and set a new standard for a coach with one school. Tasker had 11 at Hobbs, one with Lovington.

While the Huskies’ overwhelming depth and athleticism allows them to light up the scoreboard, it was their defensive intensity that ruled the roost on Saturday. Entering the fourth quarter, St. Michael’s post players Justin Flores and Isaiah Dominguez were scoreless and Flores, the team’s leading scorer, had attempted only one shot.

Dominguez got his first points 30 seconds into the final period while Flores got his 19 seconds later on a putback off a Bradley Vaughan miss.

It was the first time all game the Horsemen had scored on consecutive possessions.

“They just were pressuring the guards and their posts were doing a good job fronting me,” Flores said. “I was getting ground but they kept battling inside.”

“They’re lockdown defenders,” Vaughan said.

“They’re good. You just have to handle it, use your teammates as help. You can beat this team.

We just didn’t today.”

Drake said the Huskies almost prefer to win games by squeezing the life out of an opponent’s offense.

“We work on [defense] almost every day in practice,” he said. “Very defensive-minded, coach Murphy is. … At the end of the season, it

becomes just kind of habit to work harder on defense than on offense.”

In contrast to their earlier wins in the tournament, in which they averaged more than 80 points per game, the Huskies were more than willing to shed the fireworks in favor of grinding one out.

“We wanted an up-tempo game and score a lot of points, but I told them if we were going to win this game, we needed to play defense,” Murphy said.

St. Michael’s head coach Ron Geyer said it was a combination of turnovers and missed opportunities that cost his club. The Horsemen doubled the Huskies’ miscue total with 20 turnovers to their 10. They were also outrebounded 34-28 and shot just 31 percent (13 of 42) from the floor compared to 48 percent (21 of 44) for Hope.

“I think if everybody played in the state tournament, I think they could very easily win the whole thing regardless of class,” Geyer said.

He said perfection against Hope would be nice, but the secret is not turning the ball over, blocking them out on rebounds and cutting off their penetration in the half-court and transition offensive sets. That, and make free throws when given the chance.

Once back in the locker room, Murphy was given something of a surprise by his players.

Under their game jerseys, every player wore a shirt with the number 12 on it, a tribute to their coach joining the late Tasker in the record books.

“We hadn’t said anything about it, so I didn’t think they even knew,” Murphy said.

Now with 699 career wins — 18 coming in his one year as the Hope girls coach when he was 23 years old, the rest coming with the boys — Murphy is steadily climbing the all-time wins list.

He sits in fifth place, one win behind Russ Gilmore and 421 behind Tasker. If he averaged 27 wins a season over the next 15 years, he would become the state’s winningest coach.

“I guess it’s neat for the history books and it’s kind of a nice record,” Murphy said. “Coach Tasker’s a legend himself, and I don’t know if I see myself in that kind of category.”

Game notes u Pincheira-Sandoval had a team-high 12 points for the Horsemen, going 5-for-8 from the field and 2-for-2 from the foul line. Vaughan had eight points while Flores had six with a team-high five rebounds. u St. Michael’s had 17 points through the first three quarters and 17 in the final period. u In five championship game matchups with the Horsemen — all of them since 2007 — Hope is now 3-2. St. Michael’s is the only AAA team to beat the Huskies in more than four years.

pair of free throws with 3:20 left.

Hagerman head coach Anthony Mestas said an attitude adjustment was needed.

“We were getting a little bit complacent,” Mestas said. “We were up, had the lead and just came together, regrouped and got into our set, and our guys took over.”

For some reason, though, the Lobos were intent on giving gifts to Hagerman. Consecutive turnovers — both on bounce passes to the wing that Ramos easily anticipated

— turned into transition baskets and a 36-23 margin.

Even Ramos was perplexed by Escalante’s guards determination to pass the ball his way.

“They kept going to the right and wouldn’t go to the left,” Ramos said.

“His player wouldn’t back door and wouldn’t help him out.”

That was a part of a crucial 9-1 run that gave the Bobcats a 41-24 edge after the third quarter.

“Any time you get here [to The Pit], the teams that are here are good,” Russom said. “Very good.

When you make a mistake against a

Hagerman team like that, they will make you pay for it. Every mistake we made, they capitalized on.”

Those mistakes offset a 17-point, 14 rebound, eight-block effort by Edwards, who has grown tremendously over the season into a vital part of the Lobos offense.

“I went to a lot of summer camps,” Edwards said. “And I grew a couple of inches.”

He will become the senior leader replacing the trio of Reynaldo Atencio, Norman Salazar and Cody Casados. Sophomores

Dominic Montano and William Hurd plus his brother, Joe Hurd (who broke his ankle in the quarterfinal win over Dora), will make up the nucleus of a team that will take on a loaded district next year that includes Mora, Penasco, McCurdy and Questa.

“I am really looking forward to playing these teams and to playing bigger, better competition,” Russom said.

And perhaps a slogan like Hagerman’s might help Escalante find motivation for next season.

MLB

2-game series set to spur baseball Down Under Dodgers, Diamondbacks will play in Sydney on Saturday to open season

By Dennis Passa The Associated Press

Former Boston Red Sox coach Jon Deeble, who’s been around Australian baseball for more than 30 years, figures next weekend’s season-opening, twogame series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney will have a “massive impact” on the sport Down Under.

Certainly there’s plenty of room for growth.

Baseball is not among the top 10 or 15 participation sports in Australia, well behind Australian Rules Football, rugby league, rugby union and cricket.

Add to that list, among others, tennis, golf, basketball, the women’s sport of netball and, according to government figures, recreational skiing.

Deeble manages the Southern Thunder Australian all-star team that will face the Dodgers on Thursday and the Diamondbacks the following day ahead of regular-season games on March 22-23 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. He says having “the best in the world” in Australia will translate into much-needed exposure.

“It will help the Australian Baseball League, kids who play the game, and that will convert hopefully into registrations,” Deeble, who is a Pacific Rim scout for the Red Sox, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

“It’s also an opportunity for the players

to see where they are really at, and something to ascribe to.”

The Dodgers and Diamondbacks arrive in Sydney on separate charters Tuesday. They’ll hold workouts at the cricket ground over the following two days before the pair of exhibition games against Team Australia.

The opening series figures to feature Clayton Kershaw’s fourth consecutive opening-day start for the Dodgers next Saturday, with Patrick Corbin on the mound for Arizona. The Dodgers’ Hyun-Jin Ryu is slated to start the second game against Trevor Cahill.

The series marks the first regularseason games in Australia. Previous MLB season openers were held in Monterrey, Mexico (1999), San Juan, Puerto Rico (2001) and Tokyo (2000, ‘04, ‘08 and ‘12).

And while baseball may be not have the interest or participation level of other sports in Australia, it has longevity. Next weekend’s games will mark the 100th anniversary of an exhibition game played by the Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants at the Sydney Cricket Ground, won 5-4 by the White Sox before 10,000 fans on Jan. 3, 1914.

Ben Foster, general manager of the six-team Australian Baseball League that has MLB financial backing, said he noticed a number of positive spinoffs after the series was announced in June.

“We saw an immediate increase in traffic on websites, interest in our players, and that translated into a 20 percent increase in our attendance in the 2013-14 season,” Foster said from Arizona, where he was concluding an eight-day spring training visit to all 30 MLB teams.

this country.”

Pickett says there are about 60 Australian players under contract this season with major league organizations, and that there’s a good chance four or five of them might be in the majors when the season starts — Grant Balfour (Tampa Bay), Peter Moylan (Houston) and Ryan Rowland-Smith (Diamondbacks) among them.

Rowland-Smith is on the Team Australia roster, meaning the left-hander could pitch against the Dodgers in the Thursday night exhibition game, then appear against the Australians on the Friday night when he’ll be on the Diamondbacks roster for the second preseason game.

NBA ROUNDUP

TENNIS INDIAN WELLS

Grizzlies trounce 76ers Djokovic, Federer to face off The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — The 76ers had a loss for the record book.

Mike Conley scored 19 points, and Zach Randolph had 14 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 103-77 win Saturday night, sending the 76ers to a franchise-tying 20th straight loss.

The Sixers can set the team mark with a loss Monday night at Indiana.

The Sixers also lost 20 straight games from Jan. 9, 1973 to Feb. 11, 1973, in a 9-73 season. The NBA record for consecutive losses in a season is 26 set by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers.

That mark just may be next: The Sixers (15-51) play only one team over the next six games with a losing record — the Knicks on Friday — and they are on a six-game winning streak.

Michael Carter-Williams led the Sixers with 23 points and Thaddeus Young had 20.

“This is not slit-your-wrist time. This is not even close to that,” Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said before the game. “This is about building a program and understanding the short-term pain for a lot of long-term gain.

PACERS 112, PISTONS 104, (OT) In Auburn Hills, Mich., Paul George scored 30 points, and Indiana rallied from a 25-point second-quarter deficit to defeat Detroit.

Evan Turner added 20 points for the Pacers, and David West scored six of his 15 points in overtime. Indiana leads Miami by 3½ games in the race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

BULLS 94, KINGS 87 In Chicago, Joakim Noah had 23 points and 11 rebounds, Taj Gibson scored seven of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, and Chicago held off Sacramento.

Mike Dunleavy added 16 and DJ Augustin 12 for the Bulls.

Isaiah Thomas led the Kings with 26 and DeMarcus Cousins had 25.

Both teams struggled on offense, with the Bulls shooting 40 percent and the Kings 37 percent.

WIZARDS 101, NETS 94 In Washington, John Wall scored 33 points, Drew Gooden got 11 of his 21 in the final quarter, and Washington overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Brooklyn and move past the Nets for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Gooden’s 3-pointer broke a

94-94 tie with 2:37 left. Trevor Ariza then scored off an offensive rebound with 44 seconds left and Wall capped it with dunk.

The Nets, who went the final 6:22 without a field goal, were led by Marcus Thornton’s 19 points. Joe Johnson added 16 and Paul Pierce had 15.

KNICKS 115, BUCKS 94 In New York, Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. had 20, and New York beat Milwaukee for its season-high sixth straight victory as the team prepares to welcome Phil Jackson back to the franchise.

Amare Stoudemire and J.R. Smith each scored 15 for the Knicks, who easily ended their daytime woes by pounding the team with the NBA’s worst record.

HAWKS 97, NUGGETS 92 In Atlanta, Paul Millsap had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Jeff Teague added 15 points and 10 assists, and Atlanta rallied to beat Denver and earn its third straight win.

Kenneth Faried finished with 25 points and Wilson Chandler scored 12 for the Nuggets.

Kyle Korver, who hit a pair of free throws in the closing seconds to make it 96-92, scored 18 points and Pero Antic added 16 for Atlanta.

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Novak Djokovic beat John Isner 7-5, 6-7 (2), 6-1 on Saturday to reach the final of the BNP Paribas Open, where he’ll resume his longtime rivalry with Roger Federer in a matchup of former top-ranked players.

Federer had a much easier time in the semifinals, beating Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine 6-3, 6-1 and putting himself in position to win a fifth career title at Indian Wells. Djokovic is a two-time winner here.

Federer leads their rivalry 17-15, having beaten Djokovic two weeks ago in the semifinals at Dubai. Before that, Djokovic had won three straight times over the Swiss star.

“It’s always tense. It’s always emotional. It’s always close,” Djokovic said. “I look forward to it.”

No. 2 seed Agnieszka Radwanska will play Flavia Pennetta in the women’s final Sunday before the men’s title is decided.

Playing for 2½ hours in near 90-degree heat, Djokovic struggled with the big-serving Isner, who beat the Serb in the semis two years ago before losing to Federer in the final.

Na said. “Unfortunately, I was past the time. I know how to play. I don’t know what people were saying, but I don’t feel like I should be criticized for my play today because I’m the first one to admit if I play slow. But I really didn’t feel like I played slow today.”

A traffic jam is likely for the final round.

Garrigus was at 8-under 205, and the final seven holes brought several players back into the mix — most of them needing a win to get into the Masters.

John Senden of Australia made a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to cap off a 64, moving up 32 spots on the leaderboard into third place, just two shots behind. Justin Rose, at No. 7 the highest-ranked player in the field, made bogey from a wild tee shot on the 18th for a 69 and was three shots behind.

Retief Goosen finished his bogey-free 64 some 2½ hours before the leaders began the third round. He made the cut on the number, and suddenly finds himself within four shots of the lead on a course where he has won before.

“With that serve, obviously, he can win against anybody on a good day,” Djokovic said.

“I thought I returned really well today and allowed myself to have a bunch of opportunities on his service games.”

Djokovic had a chance to win in two sets, breaking Isner to go up 5-4 and then again at 6-5.

But the American broke back at love for a 6-all tie, and then dominated in the tiebreaker. Isner won four straight points and served his sixth ace to win it 7-2 and force the decisive third set.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — This gem of a city tucked in the Blue Ridge foothills of western North Carolina attracts artists, musicians, foodies, outdoor enthusiasts and a fair share of modern-day hippies, all lured by the beautiful setting and open-minded vibe.

Its gorgeous historic buildings downtown, free music venues, Appalachian art center and lofty nearby peaks are all perfect for travelers looking to please their senses without spending a dime.

Downtown The vibrant, compact town center, filled with boutiques, galleries, cafes and cultural attractions, is walkable and perfect for sightseeing. Especially in warm weather, downtown sidewalks are themselves an attraction — filled with street musicians, performance artists and gawkers.

Asheville was once dubbed the “Paris of the South” in part because of the stylish flair of its historic city center. You can’t miss the towering eightstory City Hall.

or they’ve inducted people who have been in the band for seven years as opposed to … 25 years or 20 years — whatever their criteria of this week is.”

A representative for the Rock Hall didn’t immediately return an email seeking comment.

Acts become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO their first record.

Peter Criss and Ace Frehley — “Or they’ve inducted rap artists, are scheduled for induction.

Music Music is a mainstay of the Asheville scene and not to miss is the Friday night drum circle in Pritchard Park, at Patton Avenue and College Street.

Starting around 5 p.m., the triangular-shaped park fills with all manner of musicians, from kids on toy drums to grandpas on bongos. Everyone’s welcome to play and watch, and the scene is exhilaratingly communal.

For more free sounds, head down Patton to Jack of the Wood, a Celtic-style pub that features jam sessions several

nights a week.

Asheville’s most famous free music event is the annual Shindig on the Green, on Saturday evenings from late June through August in Pack Square Park.

Folk Art Center Along the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 7 miles east of downtown, is a showcase for the rich cultural traditions and contemporary crafting of southern Appalachia. The Folk Art Center houses wares from the Southern Highland Craft Guild, a nine-state group of artisans. Their works are displayed year-round, but from March to December, you’re liable to catch live demonstrations of old-time broom-making, intricate wood-carving and quilting from felted wool.

Blue Ridge Parkway Some of the prettiest stretches of this National Park System roadway rim Asheville and are perfect for leisurely driving or hearty cycling. For hikers, plenty of trails are nearby. A good introduction starts at milepost 389, south of downtown, where the parkway meets Hendersonville Road-U.S. 25.

Max Patch Save part of a day for a trip to Max Patch, a lofty bald meadow along the Appalachian Trail. From this 4,600-foot summit, you’ll see an awe-inspiring 360-degree view of the Blue Ridge mountains, layers of crests unfolding in every direction. It’s 40 miles from Asheville, but worth the drive.

From the Max Patch parking area it’s a fairly easy hike, a little over a mile to the summit.

Not all members will be inducted in the Rock Hall of Fame.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Paul Stanley of Kiss wants to shout it out loud: The band is miffed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for not inducting members Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer along with the original lineup.

Kiss is scheduled to be inducted into the Rock Hall on April 10 in New York City. But Stanley said in an interview Friday with The Associated Press that he doesn’t think the Rock Hall is being fair and that the organization has altered their rules for other acts.

PERMACULTURE IN PRACTICE NATE DOWNEY

In water-starved California, homeowners are learning what many in New Mexico already know: A lawn isn’t feasible

On water, time’s running out for Texas T

Brown is the new green

of last month — many Californians are facing the reality that in the arid West the well-manicured lawn is no longer realistic, or even possible. Some cities have tightly restricted water use; others have raised usage rates to levels that make grass a luxury item.

As for what constitutes a suitable alternative to the lawn, opinions abound. The Seaside Garden Center, on the Monterey Peninsula, recently held a workshop on artificial turf. Chuck Ingels, a horticulture adviser at the University of California Cooperative Extension in Sacramento, has experimented with meadow-like buffalo grass and dune sedge. And one Oakland couple is starting a neighborhood competition next month to promote replacing the lawn with vegetable gardens and native plants.

Lorena Gonzalez, an assemblywoman

he water situation in Santa Fe is so grim that when it rains people dance naked in the streets. OK, that’s not all bad — especially given such an attractive populace fully capable of salsas and tangos — but is it wrong to feel encouraged when a neighbor has it much worse?

It’s true that our state’s “use it or lose it” legal system makes no sense in an age when water conservation is so important, but at least in New Mexico, water-rights owners are limited to using a specified amount.

Texas adheres to an even dumber doctrine called the “right of capture,” which lets landowners pump as much water as possible.

The Lone Star State owns its surface water — its rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries and coastal waters — but all underground water belongs to the landowner.

It comes with the deed, like trees and switchgrass. The problem is that in most cases, aquifers are slow to recharge, so neighbors pump against neighbors in La Fon rary gem an ugly race to the bottom.

Contempo For this reason and others, the official 2012 Texas Water Plan, which looks 50 years ahead, depends MORE HOME on the construction of 26 major reservoirs. The This column appears regularly in Home: Santa problem is that a broad Fe Real Estate Guide, consensus of intelligent inside The New Mexican experts (who I recently every first Sunday of had the good fortune of the month. Read more meeting at the annual proHome stories at www. gram of the Philosophical santafenewmexican.

Society of Texas) believes com/life/home. that most of those reservoirs won’t be built within that time frame, if ever.

First, there’s no dam money, as in the days of LBJ. Second, the remaining waters of Texas often provide significant local economic benefits, and since many of the reservoirs would be created to provide water to distant urban areas, the selected dam sites are often unpopular at a local level. Third, the Endangered Species Act has the power to stop many of these projects before they start.

Apart from the fact that existing reservoirs are extremely low and many may soon be of little use if the drought continues, the most serious economic, legal and political challenges for the would-be Texas dam-builders come from the fact that 95 percent of Texas real estate is privately owned, and Texans aren’t known for giving up their property to the government. (In New Mexico, real estate is split about 50/50 public to private.)

The ultimate irony is that Texas is currently suing New Mexico because it says some of our private landowners are pumping too much water from below Elephant Butte.

That’s right. They are suing us for exercising our own version of a much more limited right of capture.

Y

olanda Muñoz was leading a double life, water-wise.

As an accountant for the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, in Monterey, Calif., Muñoz heard grim predictions of water shortages and rationing as the state’s continuing drought intensified. But each night, she returned to her home in an older neighborhood on the peninsula, which had a lawn so large and lush she and her husband, Ed, put in a bench.

“We had a beautiful parklike setting,” Muñoz said. “It had a lot of curb appeal. I hated to give up the lawn.”

Still, it seemed like the only responsible thing to do. How could she continue to justify this profligate use of water in the face of such widespread shortages?

Contemplating life without a lawn, she moved through the stages of grief, from anger (“I want this lawn!”) to bargaining (“We thought about doing a design where half the lawn would be saved and half ripped out, like a kidney shape”) to depression (“I felt it was kind of hypocritical of me”) and finally to acceptance (“We contacted Hill and Dale,” a local landscape architecture firm).

Four months ago, Muñoz replaced her guilty pasture with a mix of drought-tolerant plants and non-thirsty boulders and gravel.

In place of the daily sprinkler rinse, she now has a water-conserving drip irrigation system. She is slowly adjusting to the native look, she said, scattering wildflower seeds that will sprout this spring.

With rainfall at below-normal levels for several years, and streams dry and reservoirs critically low, particularly in northern areas — even after the storms at the end

Murphy beds make a comeback Space-saving sleepers offer more comfortable option for guest rooms

By Melissa Kossler Dutton The Associated Press

The clients came to interior designer Laura Casey with a space dilemma: They did not want to give up the guest room in their suburban home, yet they needed a place for their child to play.

Casey came up with a solution often used in small urban apartments: a Murphy bed. It takes up less space than a sofa sleeper or futon and — unlike many of those — uses a

standard mattress, so guests, including elderly grandparents, have a more comfortable stay.

“They did not want to compromise the quality of the mattress,” said Casey, owner of Laura Casey Interiors in Charlotte, N.C. The Murphy bed — which tucks into cabinetry when not in use — is enjoying new popularity as a stylish space-saver in many kinds of homes, not just studio apartments.

“It’s an interesting trend,” said Chris Fahy, vice president of The Bedder Way Co. in Indianapolis, which makes Murphy beds and has seen sales rise in recent years. He says many customers are baby boomers, empty nesters, and other homeowners who want to turn a bedroom into a hobby room or

exercise room but still need a place for grown children, grandchildren or other guests to sleep.

Fahy’s Murphy beds range in price from $1,300 to $3,100.

California Closets, which also makes custom wall beds, has seen the same upward trend, said Ginny Snook Scott, vice president for sales and marketing. Customers still buy Murphy beds for studio apartments and vacation homes, she said, but many others are looking to get more use out of an extra room.

The company designs vertical and horizontal Murphy beds, often incorporating them into cabinetry units for home offices or craft rooms.

Murphy: New twist includes beds built into faux walls

wrote about the project on her design blog, at www. lauracaseyinteriors.com, and the post drew inquiries from around the country, she said.

She’s not the only one to think of a new twist on the Murphy bed. Some manufacturers also have designed beds that, like hers, are hidden in a faux wall rather than a traditional cabinet.

Resource Furniture in New York sells a wall bed that flips down over the top of a couch attached to a fake wall, said interior designer Nicole Sassman of Century City, Calif.

“The whole bed comes down over the couch, and it’s a proper bed,” she said. “It’s pretty amazing.”

Sassman recently designed a room that she and the client nicknamed the “jackknife room” because it served so many purposes, including guest room, meeting room and home office.

It included a Murphy bed; they’re just more versatile and comfortable than sofa beds, she said.

“People are far more design-savvy, and they need multipurpose rooms,” Sassman said. “There are so many reasons why the Murphy bed works in so many places.”

Texas: Wirth’s bill well-received so far Continued from Page E-1 Meanwhile, both states have mostly ignored our “responsibility to capture” stormwater.

Harvesting precipitation is not a panacea, but it is currently missing from either state’s water portfolio. Fortunately, state Sen. Peter Wirth’s Senate Bill 16, the tax credits for water harvesting bill, did better than expected for a first attempt at the Legislature in 2014. Unfortunately, the Senate Finance Committee refused to consider it.

No one is dancing in the streets yet, but partly we have Texas to thank for our relative success. The city of Austin already has a successful program similar to the one proposed by SB 16. I imagine their street-dancing is among the hottest in all of Texas.

Laura Casey designed this Murphy bed for clients who wanted comfortable guest accommodations and a place for their child to play in the basement of their home in Charlotte, N.C. Casey, an interior designer, worked with a local carpenter to construct the piece. COURTESY OF LAURA CASEY INTERIORS, CHRIS EDWARDS

Prices range from $3,000 for a simple wall bed and desk to $20,000 for a custom project with extensive cabinetry.

Support pieces vary by manufacturer, but generally the mattress is encased in a frame that pulls out from a cabinet adhered to the wall.

Today’s improved mechanism for lowering and raising the bed makes the process an easy job for one person, Fahy said.

The bed Casey designed for her client does not include a piston or spring mechanism, which most manufacturers use to lower the bed onto the floor.

“It just slowly drops down,” she said.

Her design, which she had a carpenter build, does not look like cabinetry. The bed is encased in a faux wall. When not in use, the bed looks like a couch with a shelf over it. In order to reveal the bed, the homeowner removes the couch cushions and pulls on the shelf, which causes the faux wall to drop to the floor. The wall is really a platform for the queen-size mattress. The shelf becomes the support for the foot of the bed.

It was the first time Casey ever recommended a Murphy bed to a client. She

Brown: In future, lawns might not be an option in California Continued from Page E-1 whose district includes southern San Diego, believes “brown is beautiful,” as she put it, and has proposed a bill to allow residents of homeowners’ associations to put in drought landscaping or artificial turf or stop watering their grass without incurring fines.

Meanwhile, in Beverly Hills and other affluent Southern California communities, bright-green, golfcourse-plush, triple-fescue lawns remain as ubiquitous as the teams of gardeners required to tend them.

In true California fashion, the garden hose (or, more precisely, what comes out of it) has lately taken on a mystical bent. This weekend, Paola Berthoin, an artist, will be a leader of a retreat to explore the sacred nature of water. Participants will visit the Hastings Natural History Reserve in Carmel Valley, with its brittle, moisture-starved underbrush, and, among other activities, explore in a journal humankind’s connection to water.

“We thought this was the best way to push the message out there that we are water,” Berthoin said.

At her home in Carmel Valley, Berthoin’s water concerns are more practical. Though she has installed drought-tolerant and native-plant landscaping and seven tanks to collect rainwater, she worries about the two ponds on her 7-acre property.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen with the ponds,” she said.

“They’re not getting what they need.”

The recent storms across the state aren’t likely to squelch the soulsearching over proper drought landscaping, said Mitsugu Mori, the owner of the Seaside Garden Center. “Even if

it rained every single day until April,” Mori said, “we don’t have enough water.”

Grass has slowly been disappearing from California yards for several years, especially in cities that offer rebates to encourage homeowners to uproot (Muñoz paid for part of her lawn conversion this way). Menlo Park, for instance, has a Lawn Be Gone program that gives homeowners up to $3,000 if they convert their grass lawns to water-efficient landscapes. But the drought has sped up changes to the landscape, as homeowners opt for more eco-friendly, cost-saving options.

Kathleen Brenzel, the garden editor of Sunset magazine, who lives in Menlo Park, said several of her neighbors have recently pulled up their lawns, planting meadows or succulents instead. “I’ve seen blends of shrubs that bloom in spring and ornamental grasses,” Brenzel said. “They catch the sunlight in their wispy blades.”

Brenzel, who has a native plant garden at her house, featured a section on drought landscaping in the Sunset Western Garden Book of Landscaping, out last month, which she edited.

“Streamscaping,” one of the techniques the book spotlights, is a favorite of Christine Watten, a designer at Hill and Dale Landscapes, the firm that converted Muñoz’s yard. “We do a lot of dry stream beds with rock,” Watten said. “It’s like an Arroyo Seco look.

It gives dimensionality to the garden, focal points.”

Watten also likes native ground covers like coast buckwheats and lowgrowing manzanitas, which have an expansive green look.

What’s happening as a result of the water shortage, Brenzel said, “is that

front lawns are getting more interesting, and saving water at the same time.”

How interesting front yards become, however, depends largely on what is seen as acceptable landscaping. And even in the midst of a drought of biblical proportions, longstanding ideas hold sway.

When Cory Wechsler and her partner, Alicia Gilbreath, decided to start a water-saving competition in their Oakland neighborhood, announcing in an email last month that “a brown lawn is the new cool,” they were surprised by the reaction. The couple had led by example: In the front yard of their duplex they planted a vegetable garden and fruit trees, and added another vegetable patch and a chicken coop in the back. What grass remained had gone unwatered for more than a year.

“You just have this brown piece of land,” Wechsler said. “With a little rain, it’s almost as green as anyone else’s lawn.”

But their neighbors showed little enthusiasm for letting their own lawns go brown, she said. “Instead of getting excited, people felt like we were attacking their green lawns,” she said. “I do think people place value in the idea that something is healthy when it’s green, and when it’s brown, it’s not so.”

The couple have since reframed the competition, downplaying the brownlawn aspect and focusing instead on other ways of decreasing water use, from installing a gray-water system to planting drought-tolerant flowers and herbs like rosemary.

“There’s no judgment,” Wechsler said. “Let’s just talk about the decisions each of us are willing to make.”

Soon homeowners with a traditional green lawn may not have a choice. An

average of 50 to 60 percent of a household’s water consumption goes to outdoor use, which includes the landscape, said Ingels, the horticulture adviser. He envisions a future in which lawns go dormant in winter, and possibly even in summer, if watering is not allowed.

“The water bills are going up,” Ingels said. “I think we’re going to start seeing more and more people opt for a brown lawn. I think it could become more traditional.”

In Southern California, where water reserves are in (marginally) greater supply than in the northern part of the state, many homeowners have not yet reached a lawn reckoning, said Peter Eberhard, a designer with the Los Angeles firm GDS Designs.

“We’re not at that point in the ’70s when people are draining their pools and in panic mode,” Eberhard said.

“The trend here is about reducing the size of the lawn.”

He has torn up plenty of grass in the

last few years, but that was motivated less by his clients’ desire to conserve water, he said, than their requests for “outdoor rooms” focused around barbecue pits, kitchens and entertaining areas. “People want to use their outside areas as an exterior house,” he said. “That’s a huge feature in almost every house we do now.”

Tine Nilsen wanted a similar kind of hardscape at her house in the Mar Vista section of Los Angeles, and over a year ago hired Eberhard’s firm. But she was concerned that removing the grass would create a barren-looking landscape. “I wanted a modern feel and low maintenance,” Nilsen said.

“What I didn’t want was for it to feel very desert-y.”

Eberhard used granite and mulch with new hedging and minimal low-water plants in the backyard, and in the front yard planted beds of succulents that are hand-watered periodically and native low-water shrubs, along with a few trees. “The little bushes are very lush and green,” Nilsen said. “But not so heavy that they cover everything.” And her new landscaping, which is fed by a drip irrigation system, consumes a quarter of the water her lawn did, she said.

Despite the drought, few people in Nilsen’s neighborhood have followed suit. Not yet, anyway.

Californians have a complicated, ambivalent relationship with water and, like much of the rest of the United States, a deep-seated allegiance to their grass lawns. If Nilsen needs any proof of that, all she has to do is step outside in the morning and look up and down her street, where the sprinklers are all working furiously at keeping her neighbors’ grass green.
