Plea for cash pits Martinez against unions

The New Mexican

Santa Fe County deputies arrested Meagan Sayre, 23, on an open count of murder Saturday in the early morning shooting death of a 28-year-old man in a rural neighborhood south of the city off N.M. 14.

Authorities have not released the identity of the victim, but Santa Fe County Sheriff’s

Office Lt. William Pacheco confirmed Sayre was the victim’s girlfriend, and Facebook pages indicate the woman had been in a relationship with a man named Rocky Giese.

Pacheco said deputies Meagan responded to the scene of Sayre the shooting — a singlewide mobile home in the South Fork area off N.M. 14 — around 2:12 a.m. Saturday after someone in the

Cop training too harsh?

A Fact: Of the officers that Die making traffic stops, MOST die making a so called LOW-RISK stop for a misdemeanor violations.

…

Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration began negotiations with three state employees unions in 2011, her first year in office, but not a single contract has been resolved.

The lumbering pace and lack of progress are signs of Martinez’s strained relationship with unions, a circumstance that she suddenly made part of her reelection campaign last week.

In a speech in Albuquerque to a group of real estate developers, Martinez said contract talks were stalled because she wants to end the practice of the state collecting union dues through payroll deductions.

For their part, labor leaders say Martinez’s negotiating team has proposed a series of contractual changes unfriendly to state employees, including ending the traditional workweek of five consecutive days for one

Assessing Risk 1. What is the nature of the offense involved. IT DOES NOT MATTER ALL STOPS ARE UNKNOWN THREATS. 2. How many occupants are readily visible. The number of occupants represents the number of problem areas you have to deal with.

Always think that there is at least one more occupant present than you can see.

3. What is the behavior of the occupants. Remember that the violator Knows who he is and what he has done prior to the stop than you do, but he may think that you know, too, and be responding accordingly.

4. What weapons are involved? Always assume that the violator and all the occupants in the vehicle are armed.

5. What type of vehicle is involved. VAN WITH NO WINDOWS. ECT. 6. What is the environmental hazards. Besides crowds, consider trees, rocks and other cover options that are available to you.

Terrain features, such as curves and hills that may add to your risks as well as other TRAFFIC. — from the Law Enforcement Academy’s proposed training materials on vehicle stops

Officers arrived at the residence to find the deceased man’s body lying just inside the entryway. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. A male witness who was at the home with Sayre was interviewed but not detained, Pacheco said. No one else was injured during what Pacheco described as an “altercation” that “occurred in the residence.”

When faced with violent physical assault, your life depends upon your reaction without hesitation. There is no time to ponder because to ponder is to possibly die. Your response must not be fear but aggressiveness. You must block out all thoughts of the situation that you are in and think only of stopping the assailant.

— from “Survival Speach” in training materials

fficers involved in even routine traffic stops should “always assume that the violator and all the occupants in the vehicle are armed.”

“Most suspects are mentally prepared to react violently.”

And “you could die today, tomorrow, or next Friday.”

Those are among the dire warnings contained in the state Law Enforcement Academy’s newly proposed training curriculum. The draft comes as the academy, which sets the tone for police recruit training statewide, has already instituted a program that puts less restraint on officers in deciding when to use deadly force, despite a series of officer-involved shootings in New Mexico.

The academy’s board is expected to vote on the curriculum at its next meeting, which has not been scheduled.

Law enforcement experts contacted by The New Mexican had mixed reactions to the draft lesson plans.

Some called the lessons standard fare for police training academies. But several raised concerns over the rhetoric used in the curriculum, saying it has the potential to make officers fearful of the public, resulting in more use of deadly force.

“I would be very careful to have anything in my curriculum called ‘Officer Survival,’ ” said Eugene O’Donnell, a former police officer with the New York City Police Department, referring to a section of the draft with that title.

O’Donnell, now a criminal justice professor at John Jay College in New York, said academies across the country should be emphasizing “the sanctity of human life, using firearms as a last resort and emphasis on taking cover” instead of getting into confrontation.

O’Donnel said “heated language” in the Officer

N.M. family seeks help for immigrant detained in protest Man who grew up in U.S. was deported 4 years ago after he was pulled over for speeding

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Growing up in Albuquerque, Ramón Dorado and his family lived with a secret.

His mother warned him never to run afoul of authorities, lest the truth be discovered. The Dorados were living in the country illegally.

Index

That difficult reality became known four years ago when police stopped Ramón for speeding. He was 19, and within days, he was deported, leaving behind his mom, dad and little sister.

Now Dorado, 24, finds himself in a federal detention center in San Diego after crossing the border last week as part of a mass protest against the sharp increase in deportations that has occurred under the Obama administration. Dorado was among 150 undocumented immigrants who crossed the border from Tijuana into the port of entry at San

Diego, making the trip without immigration papers in hopes of reuniting with their loved ones by making cases for political asylum.

It was the third such protest in a national campaign organized by the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, a pro-immigrant group that has been advocating stopping deportations. Under the Obama administration 1.9 million immigrants have been deported from the country, compared to 2 million in the eight years of the George W. Bush administration.

Millions to test Common Core assessments

Collision kills over 30 in Pakistan

Field testing begins this coming week in 36 states

At least 33 people were killed Saturday in a crash involving two tanker trucks and two buses on a coastal highway in southern Pakistan, officials said.

At least 20 others were injured, many with severe burns.

The accident occurred when a truck got stuck in a pothole and a bus traveling behind the truck crashed into it. The second bus tried to bypass the pileup but collided with the second truck.

Obama extols free speech in Beijing On a visit supposed to be nonpolitical, Michelle Obama said in an address in Beijing on Saturday that freedom of speech, particularly on the Internet and in the news media, provided the foundation for a vibrant society. On the second day of a weeklong trip to China, the first lady spoke to an audience of Americans and Chinese at Peking University. In the middle of an appeal for more U.S. students to study abroad, the exposition of the American belief in freedom of speech was juxtaposed with a backdrop of broad Internet censorship by the Chinese government.

Gunmen searched before killing nine KABUL, Afghanistan — Security guards searched four attackers — twice — before allowing them to enter an Afghan hotel where the young men proceeded to the restaurant and killed nine diners, including four foreigners and an AFP journalist, his wife and two children, according to chilling closed-circuit video broadcast Saturday by a local TV station.

The question of how the gunmen penetrated the tight security of the Serena hotel with pistols and ammunition is one of the biggest mysteries surrounding Thursday’s attack.

Donors wary of aiding Syrians Charity donations are only one way to measure public empathy, but by that count, the three-year tumult in Syria has come up short of other international disasters. As one example, World Vision, the Christian relief group, has collected $1.6 million in private donations for Syria; the organization raised $16 million for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Aid experts say the conflict is so complex and intractable that it’s difficult for people to grasp.

WASHINGTON — What’s on the new Common Core-based exams?

More than 4 million kids in U.S. schools soon will have a clue.

Field testing begins this coming week in 36 states and the District of Columbia on assessments developed by two different groups of states. Participating students will be asked to sit for hours in front of a computer or use a No. 2 pencil to answer questions.

But there’s no need for kids to worry. The scores won’t count, this time. The actual exam-testing won’t be used for another year.

The Common Core standards spell out what math and English skills students should have at each grade, and are designed to develop more critical thinking skills than traditional

nce upon a time, Grace Maher twirled around the house in Disney princess costumes, a vision of sequins, tiaras and pink.

She’s 8 now and done with all that. The only pink left is her new bow and arrow.

That would be her Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker Exclusive Golden Edge Bow by Hasbro, a petuniacolored weapon with gold and white trim that shoots colorful foam darts. Forget Ariel, the beautiful mermaid princess. Grace’s new role model is Katniss Everdeen, the (also beautiful) huntress/survivor in the Hunger Games trilogy of books and movies.

Heroines for young girls are rapidly changing, and the toy industry — long adept at capitalizing on gender stereotypes — is scrambling to catch up.

Toymakers have begun marketing a more aggressive line of playthings and weaponry for girls — inspired by a succession of female warrior heroes like Katniss, the Black Widow of The Avengers, Merida of Brave and now, Tris of the book and new movie Divergent — even as the industry still clings to every shade of pink.

The result is a selection of toys that, oddly, both challenges antiquated notions and plays to them deeply.

The Rebelle line, introduced last year, comes in a swirl of pink, purple, white and gold plastic, and the weapons have names — like the Heartbreaker and the Pink Crush — that are enough to make an enlightened 21st century mother groan. But around a dozen new toys in the line are coming out this year.

Zing’s Air Huntress bows and sling shots (slogan: ready. aim. girl power!) account for more than a quarter of the company’s sales in a little over a year on the market. A pump-action “cheetah shooter” from the Marshmallow Fun Co. is bathed in pale pink with darker spots and fires mini-marshmallows.

Barbie, ever pretty in pink, has naturally gotten into the act with a Katniss doll that slings a bow and arrow in authentic brown. The action figure shelves at toy stores now display a Black Widow figure

Activision’s latest Skylanders game, Swap Force, includes Stealth Elf, Roller Brawl and Smolderdash, all of whom are on an equal footing with their male counterparts. And Stella, a female Angry Bird, will soon get her own mobile app and accessories, so she can be dressed up and launched into the air to destroy pig fortresses.

The premiere of the movie Divergent this weekend is only adding to the marketing frenzy around weapon-wielding girls. A Tris Barbie doll, complete with her signature three-raven tattoo, is already for sale on Amazon.

All of this is enough to make parents’ — particularly mothers’ — heads spin, even as they reach for their wallets. While the segregation of girls’ and boys’ toys in aisles divided between pink and camouflage remains an irritant, some also now wonder whether their daughters should adopt the same war games that they tolerate rather uneasily among their sons.

“Basically, I’m a total hypocrite because it’s a weapon and it’s pink, but they really enjoy it, and it’s something they play together,” said Robin Chwatko, whose 3-year-old daughter got a Nerf Rebelle a few months ago after coveting her 5-year-old brother’s

Zing bow.

Sharon Lamb, a child psychologist and play therapist who teaches counseling psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, says toys that stimulate aggression are healthy for children.

“I don’t see this as making girls more aggressive, but instead as letting girls know that their aggressive impulses are acceptable and they should be able to play them out,” she said.

But, she added, “What I don’t like is the stereotyped girlifying of this. Do they have to be in pink?

Why can’t they be rebels and have to be re-belles?

Why do they need to look sexy when aggressing, defending the weak or fighting off bad guys?”

Carmen Wong Ulrich, whose 7-year-old daughter has two bows — a Merida one from Disney and a Rebelle — doesn’t mind the glamour. “That’s who she is — girly and sparkles and loves to sneak my makeup, but loves the hero and being in charge,” she said.

For many girls, things changed with the arrival of Katniss. Zing, whose sales doubled during the two weeks that it advertised on 3,600 movie screens playing The Hunger Games: Catching Fire last fall, plans to advertise on twice as many screens for the first installment of the series’ two-part finale, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, which is due in November.

annual assessments given in states.

Also complicating matters are the new teacher evaluation systems rolling out in many states that rely, in part, on student performance on annual exams. Questions have been raised about when or if the Common Core-based assessments should count on these evaluations.

Supporters are warning that scores on the new assessments will drop compared with the old tests, but they say they will be a more accurate measurement of student knowledge.

The field tests themselves have generated other concerns. Some states’ officials worry about double testing, meaning some students are participating in both the field test and taking a state exam. In response, the Education Department gave California permission to just give the field tests to all students in third to eighth grades, meaning they won’t be given the state assessment this year. Similar permission was given to other states, including Idaho, Montana, and South Dakota, according to the Education Department.

ing, which I think generates some excitement and some reality, if you will, for the fact that this is moving ahead,” said Jeffrey Nellhaus, director of research, policy and design with the consortium Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. Joe Willhoft, the executive director of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, told reporters there will be snags, and that’s in part due to the nature of what a field test is — a test run and an opportunity to see what works and doesn’t. Already, out of concern there would be technical problems, Smarter Balanced delayed by a week to this week the start of its field tests.

“We have a saying in Smarter Balanced that if nothing goes wrong in the field test, then actually we have failed,” Willhoft said.

While opposition to the standards has been multidimensional, some critics take issue with the tests and how the results will be used because the tests are designed to replace the

school work. They were first pushed by governors concerned about the large number of high school graduates needing remedial college help and lacking basic skills. Most states have adopted them.

The field tests, to be conducted until June, are a big step forward in the push to more fully integrate the new academic standards into the school environment.

They will give education officials a chance to judge things such as the quality of each test question and the technical capabilities of schools to administer the tests, which are computer-based but also will be available on paper.

But they also come as the standards face political push-back in many states Indiana lawmakers, for example, last year paused implementation of the standards and a measure ending the state’s participation is at the governor’s desk.

Common Core supporters hope the field tests provide an opportunity to highlight the best of Common Core.

Day of joy for Mich. same-sex couples turns into legal uncertainty Appeals court suspends ruling to lift gay marriage ban

By John Eligon and Erik Eckholm The New York Times

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A day after a federal judge struck down Michigan’s voterapproved ban on same-sex marriages, hundreds of gay couples raced to clerks’ offices across the state Saturday morning to exchange wedding vows before an appeals court challenge that could reinstate the ban.

But the euphoria of the day for the couples quickly turned to disappointment by late afternoon when the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Cincinnati, suspended the judge’s ruling until at least Wednesday, when the court is expected to decide whether to grant a longer injunction while it considers an appeal filed by Michigan’s attorney general. That means that same-sex weddings in the state were halted immediately for now.

The injunction ended a 24-hour emotional roller coaster and put those couples who were married earlier in the day in a legal limbo.

By the time the stay came down, about 300 same-sex couples had been married and many others had been turned away because the clerk’s offices had closed, said Emily Dieven-

dorf, executive director of Equality Michigan.

About an hour before the temporary injunction was issued, gay rights activists’ hopes of having at least another day to perform weddings were raised when the court told the plaintiffs that they had until Tuesday to respond to the state’s request for a stay. But then came the temporary stay.

“We’re all feeling quite deflated and ready to figure this out,” Dievendorf said. “I think that we tasted a little bit of hope this afternoon, and it was good.”

Jonnie Terry, 50, and Elizabeth Patten, 52, who have been together for 28 years, were the first to receive their marriage license in Ann Arbor on Saturday.

At 9:11 a.m., they held the white sheet of paper allowing them to marry and posed for a slew of news cameras with their daughter and son and with Lawrence Kestenbaum, clerk of Washtenaw County. On the other side of a glass wall, in the lobby of the clerk’s office, hundreds of people who were crammed shoulder to shoulder cheered loudly.

“It’s not how I envisioned my wedding, but we’re grateful,” Terry said.

After Judge Bernard A. Friedman of the U.S. District Court in Detroit ruled the ban unconstitutional Friday, the state attorney general, Bill Schuette, filed a notice of appeal to the circuit court, leading to the temporary injunction issued Saturday.

has invited Ukrainian service members to join the Russian military with no change in rank and potentially increased pay, but many have declined.

A spokesman for the Ukrainian military in Crimea said Russian troops had also taken a base Saturday at Novofyodorovka, northwest of Simferopol, the regional capital. The rollback of Ukrainian forces began in earnest Wednesday, after the Ukrainian Defense Ministry in Kiev said it had drawn up plans to evacuate its military personnel, effectively announcing a surrender and yielding to the reality of the Russian occupation that began late last month.

Germany, however, moved swiftly to dispel the idea that a vote allowing the international mission to operate only outside the peninsula constituted recognition for Crimea’s annexation. “The OSCE is expressly not casting into doubt the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Reuters quoted a government spokesperson as saying.

BELBEK, Crimea — Russian forces pushed Saturday to complete their expulsion of the Ukrainian military from the disputed Crimean Peninsula, smashing through the gates of a base with armored vehicles, firing weapons into the air and demanding that the cornered Ukrainian soldiers surrender.

The military operation at the base — one of the Ukrainian military’s last strongholds on the peninsula — was larger and more dramatic than at other installations where Ukrainian forces have capitulated steadily in recent days as Russia declared its formal annexation of the region. By evening, Russian forces were fully in control, and most of the Ukrainian troops were dispatched to their barracks and homes to pack.

The takeover came as Russia appeared to try to assuage international worries that its incursion into Ukraine would expand beyond Crimea, by

agreeing to the deployment of a team of international monitors to places in Ukraine outside the peninsula. The fears of further seizures of territory had risen Friday as Russian troops massed along the border with eastern Ukraine, and the United States had issued a stern warning against further incursions.

The agreement to send monitors by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, however, pointedly excluded Crimea, drawing condemnation in the West.

A statement from Russia, a member of the organization, said that excluding Crimea “reflects the new political-

Training: Expert says ‘facts’ in materials lack explanation, context Continued from Page A-1 Survival section can instill fear among officers, giving an impression that the officer’s life is always in great danger, and that’s not helpful. The section includes passages like “What is a warrior mindset?” and contains a supposed Q&A with an inmate who has killed an officer.

Question: “How did you feel the moment you shot the officer?”

Answer: “I didn’t have any feelings at all.”

Jack Jones, the academy’s director, declined to comment and referred questions to the Department of Public Safety’s spokesman, Tony Lynn, who did not return a call.

The New Mexican received a lightly Jack Jones redacted copy of the curriculum under the Inspection of Public Records Act. Michael Levine, a former federal Drug Enforcement Administration agent and current police trainer, said some officers get scared too easily and resort to using force. Levine, who now serves as an expert witness in use-offorce court cases, said, “This lesson [on officer survival] to a fearful person is like shortening his fuse.”

Tim Dees, a former police trainer for the Oregon Department of Public Safety, reviewed the use-of-force, firearms and officer survival training plans.

He said most of the statistics on deadly encounters in the lesson plans do not cite sources, which can be a problem if they would ever need to be presented in court.

“Listing ‘facts’ like these without providing a source for each one is a very risky proposition if you might some

day have to defend your lesson plan in court,” Dees said in an email. “Overall, I can’t say I’m impressed with the set of documents, other than to note that most are poorly prepared.”

The use-of-force lesson plan refers to federal court cases such as Graham v. Conner and Tennessee v. Garner, but doesn’t explain how they should be applied. In the 1985 Tennessee v.

Garner, the Supreme Court ruled that a police officer can use deadly force to stop a fleeing suspect if the officer has probable cause to believe the suspect might do serious physical injury or kill an officer or another person. And in the 1989 case, Graham v. Connor, the Supreme Court ruled that an officer can use a reasonable amount of force in arresting a suspect.

“I always try to include the context to explain how the case law should be applied to real-world situations,” Dees said. “It’s not necessarily wrong not to do this, but without the context, the cases are just names to most cops.”

O’Donnell agreed that if cases are going to be used in cadet training, they need to be taught in relation to real-life scenarios.

The lesson plan states, “When an officer is involved in a use of force incident, the time for training stops and the officer must act. It’s at that time when the officer will rely on his/her training to bring the violence to an end to survive the fight. When all is calm again, we can review the officer’s actions and learn from the incident.”

Thomas Grover, a former sergeant with the Albuquerque Police Department who independently reviewed the lesson plans, noted that the Officer Survival course has been expanded, but what’s lacking in the new curriculum is an emphasis on working with the community.

“When you have someone who is just

coming in and is 21 years old … they’re very impressionable, and sure it creates that us-versus-them [mentality], we’re warriors [mentality],” he said.

“My recommendation would be you’ve got to balance that out,” said Grover, who recently graduated from The University of New Mexico’s law school.

He added that the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy curriculum doesn’t achieve that balance and doesn’t include the “overarching purpose … which is to serve citizens.”

John A. Eterno, a former police captain for the New York Police Department, approved of many of the new training materials, especially the update on state law and how to protect basic rights of the public.

But he said there were some issues he believes the academy should address, such as emphasizing that officers should be using the minimum amount of force in dealing with suspects. Eterno said even though the lesson plans cite case law on the use of force, they seem to lack specific and detailed rules.

The New York Police Department’s use-of-force policy, for example, clearly states that officers are not allowed to discharge their firearms at or from a moving vehicle unless deadly physical force — besides the vehicle involved — is being used against the officer or another person. Such rules need to be emphasized in training, and it’s some-

thing that is lacking in New Mexico’s training material, he said.

Eterno, now a professor of criminal justice at Molloy College in Rockville Centre, N.Y., also said, “This warrior thing is a bit overplayed.”

However, he said, the public needs to put itself in the shoes of an officer who might be facing an armed suspect who has just committed a crime.

Between 2003 and 2012, more than 500 police officers across the country, including five in New Mexico, were killed in felonious assaults in the line of duty, according to the latest FBI statistics.

New Mexico made national headlines when a state police officer shot at a van full of children near Taos after the driver fled during a traffic stop in October. In November, a different state police officer shot and killed a Santa Fe woman after a chase, firing into her vehicle 16 times as she tried to flee. The second shooting was one of three fatal shootings involving state police in the course of a month.

The Albuquerque Police Department, meanwhile, is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice to determine if officers use unreasonable deadly force in encounters with suspects. Albuquerque officers fatally shot 22 people from 2010 through 2013, and wounded another 13.

The New Mexican revealed last month that, despite these incidents, the

academy has altered its training to give officers more leeway to use force when pursuing a suspect than previous training under an older model.

When The New Mexican first filed a public records request for a copy of the academy’s training material in February, Jones said, “I’ll burn them before you get them.” But State Police Chief Pete Kassetas said March 5 that the Department of Public safety, which oversees the academy, had intended to release the training materials.

Jones, a former state police officer and retired Army colonel, has taken increasing control over training at the academy since joining it as deputy director in January 2013. He was named director last June, and in September, the academy’s eight-member board voted unanimously to give him control over the curriculum, which in the past had required a period of public input.

Jones wanted the code changed in time for the latest cadet class, which started Jan. 20. Among other changes, he shortened the training from 22 weeks to 16 and instituted a physical-fitness entrance exam that is the same for men and women and applicants of all ages.

Grover said his main concern with the curriculum is that training was reduced by six weeks. Considering that the Albuquerque Police Department is being investigated by the federal government, he said, the last thing the academy should do is cut back on training.

The academy is still using previous lesson plans, although the plans are continually updated, Kassetas said, because, “We want to teach the most current methods.”

Death: Each was recently arrested Continued from Page A-1 Pacheco declined to provide details about where on his body the man was shot or whether the gun involved in the incident had been recovered.

Pacheco said it was too early to tell if the incident arose out of a domestic dispute, but he said evidence and statements gathered at the scene gave officers probable cause to arrest Sayre.

He said deputies believe people at the home were drinking alcohol at the time, but he couldn’t say for sure whether that was a factor in the shooting.

On a Facebook page bearing Sayre’s name and likeness, she is listed as being “in a relationship” with a man named Rocky Giese.

A link on the page leads to a Facebook page bearing the name Rocky Giese, which states he is “in a relationship” with Meagan Sayre and includes photos of the

man shown with Sayre in her profile picture.

The photo of the couple on Sayre’s Facebook page was posted as her profile photo about eight hours before police received a 911 call about the shooting, according to notifications posted on the page.

The Facebook pages say Sayre is from Kirkland, Wash., but attended Española Valley High School and works as a bank teller, and that Giese is from Eugene, Ore., but attended McCurdy School, also in Española, and works at the state Department of Cultural Affairs.

Sayre and a man named Oron Rocky Giese were both arrested in the past month, according to online court records. Sayre was charged with driving with a suspended license Feb. 28, and Giese was arrested on charges of criminal damage to the property of a house-

hold member and interference with communications March 1.

A neighbor, who asked not to be identified, said he was awake watching movies when officers arrived early Saturday, but he didn’t hear or see anything odd at Sayre’s residence prior to that.

The man, who said he had lived in the neighborhood for about a year, said he didn’t know the occupants of the home, whom he said had moved in about six months ago. He did say he had seen a man and a woman and two small dogs there.

“They kept to themselves,” he said.

Pacheco said a New Mexico State Police crime scene team has been called in to help process evidence found in the home. Detectives were still gathering evidence there Saturday afternoon.

Unions: AFSCME leaders are unhappy with the governor’s tactics Continued from Page A-1 union. But Martinez, a Republican who is seeking a second term in the fall election, put her public focus on a single aspect of the labor negotiations — collection of union dues.

A day after her speech, she sent an email solicitation for contributions based on the contract stalemates and her feud with the unions.

“I oppose forcing the state to collect union dues for big labor. I believe the union — not taxpayers — should be the ones collecting dues for union activities,” Martinez said.

“The union bosses have made it clear they will spend big money here to defeat me and stop our progress.

Will you stand with me and help level the playing field by making a $5 contribution today?”

Leaders of the 8,000-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union say they have not had a face-to-face bargaining session with Martinez’s negotiating team since last May, so they were unhappy that the governor abruptly raised contract negotiations as a campaign club. Martinez’s team says the last bargaining session with AFSCME actually was in April 2013, and that the state has declared an impasse in the negotiations.

Miles Conway, a spokesman for AFSCME, said critical issues, such as job conditions for overworked state prison guards, were being ignored by Martinez in favor of a political ploy regarding union dues. Conway said the governor’s tactic was try to influence those who do not understand that a range of complex issues are involved in the contract negotiations.

“To win hearts and minds, she is appealing to those who choose to use neither,” he said.

Her tactics, Conway said, are part of Martinez seeking favor from the Koch brothers, whose goal is to “disparage union workers in the public’s mind.”

The Koch brothers are billionaires who support many conservative causes.

Martinez’s press secretary referred questions about contract negotiations to the State Personnel Office, which, along with a private company hired by the administration, is handling the labor talks.

Nivia Thames, deputy director of the personnel office, said Martinez’s administration is at an impasse with AFSCME and a 2,500-member bargaining unit of the Communications Workers of America. Both unions say there is no impasse because they stand ready to negotiate numerous changes that Martinez wants in their contracts.

Thames, though, said the administration in September 2013 presented the unions with “last, best offers” after some 21 negotiating sessions.

These contract disputes have been softened to a degree because money is not a part of them. The state Legislature recently approved a budget that Martinez signed, and it includes raises for state workers. That has left workplace policies and contract provisions as points of contention.

Thames said Martinez has not proposed in the negotiations to end payroll deduction of dues for those workers who belong to unions. Rather, Thames said, the governor’s team wants to stop nonunion members from being charged “fair share” payroll deductions. These fees, less than

regular dues, are assessed because the union also must represent those workers who are not union members.

“Throughout negotiations, the state has opposed the practice of forcing employees who do not wish to join the union to pay money to the union as a condition of continued employment,” Thames said.

Martinez’s bargaining team also says ending fees for nonunion members is not subject to an arbitrator’s decision.

“The issue of forcing nonunion members to make union payments is, by state law, an optional subject of bargaining, which means the state can choose not to negotiate the forced payments into the contracts,” Thames said. “… The union cannot insist on having these forced payments in the contract and is not allowed to take the issue to impasse arbitration.”

Chris Sanchez, a spokesman for Martinez’s re-election campaign, said she had been consistent on the issue.

“Gov. Martinez has opposed state government collecting funds for labor unions since 2011, and that’s been clear in negotiations, but what is new related to this matter is union bosses couching it as a ‘declaration of war,’ ” he said.

Union leaders say the dispute should be settled by an arbitrator, and one union is pushing for that to happen.

David Heshley, director of labor for the Fraternal Order of Police, said negotiations and mediation failed to produce an agreement between his union and the state. He said he is requesting an arbitrator to settle numerous disputes over contract language. Heshley said these include Martinez’s attempt to undo a longstanding grievance procedure and to

stop payroll deductions of nonunion members paying their fair share for union-negotiated benefits and representation.

Heshley said that, under governors Bill Richardson, a Democrat, and Gary Johnson, who was a Republican during his eight years in office, negotiations always were settled in a month or two. The basic framework of the employee contract was in place, so negotiations focused on money or perhaps a dispute over a single provision, he said. With Martinez’s administration, wholesale changes in contract language were proposed.

Heshley said Martinez’s public denunciation of payroll deductions for union dues was rooted in her reelection bid.

“It’s a very strange time to be coming forth with this,” he said. “I’m an older guy who’s been around a long time, and I know politics when I see it.”

Heshley’s union represents about 110 state motor transportation police and civilian employees. He said only about five are not union members who pay the fair-share fee.

Like AFSCME, the Communications Workers of America says it is not at impasse with Martinez’s administration.

“It takes two to declare an impasse,” said Robin Gould, spokeswoman for the CWA. She said many contract provisions were in dispute, not just fees for nonunion members. In some cases, Gould said, Martinez’s bargaining team discussed particular changes at the bargaining table, then came back with different proposals in what it called its final offer.

Even a union president not involved

in the state negotiations spoke out against Martinez after she publicly challenged the payroll deductions.

“Fair-share union dues cannot be used in political campaigns, no matter what the governor says,” said Stephanie Ly, president of the American Federation of Teachers New Mexico.

Ly said Martinez wanted to “distract New Mexicans from her record” by attacking union members.

Ly’s union has endorsed state Sen. Howie Morales for governor. Morales, of Silver City, is one of five Democrats competing for the right to run against Martinez in the fall.

The CWA union, whose negotiations with Martinez’s administration have stalled, is backing another Democrat in the governor’s race, state Sen. Linda Lopez of Albuquerque.

Neither of the other state unions involved in the contract disputes with Martinez has endorsed a candidate for governor.

Martinez is not the only politician in New Mexico who has attempted to eliminate union payroll deductions by government workers.

During this year’s legislative session, Republicans in the state House of Representatives tried to amend an unrelated bill to block third-party payroll deductions.

State Rep. Brian Egolf of Santa Fe led Democrats, who closed ranks to defeat the amendment. Egolf said the proposal was an attack on unions but that it also would have ended payroll deductions for charities.

Special to The Washington Post

Continued from Page A-1 Norma Dorado, Ramón’s mother, said she’s worried for her son, but at the same time, she and her family can’t think of another way to be reunited.

“I’m nervous, I’m anxious,” said Norma Dorado, who hasn’t seen her son for almost four years. “But I’m having faith that something good will happen.”

James Noble, a Santa Fe immigration lawyer and member of American Immigration Lawyers Association, said it’s difficult for Mexican nationals to make cases for political asylum. In order to be granted political asylum, the applicant must prove he or she is being prosecuted for religion, gender or political views, and that the federal government of the person’s home country can’t offer protection.

Ramón Dorado was 6 when the family moved to Albuquerque. He graduated from Rio Grande High School. His mother started working cleaning houses, and his father became a cook for a restaurant.

His parents started taking English classes and teaching catechism at their church.

Ramón Dorado had a state driver’s license and his car was insured when he was pulled over by an Albuquerque officer for the traffic violation in 2010, his mother said. While he was being questioned, the officer asked him where he was born and if he had papers.

He said he didn’t, and by the next day, he was deported to Mexico.

“Since he was a little kid, we told him always to do the right thing,” his mother said.

Had he been stopped today, he might have had protection from deportation through a federal program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The program, announced in 2012, allows individuals who were brought to the country illegally as children to apply for renewable work permits and be deferred from deportation for at least two years.

Ramón Dorado was attending Central New Mexico Community College and was two weeks from graduating when he was deported, Norma Dorado said.

For the past four years, the family has consulted with immigration lawyers to find a way to bring Ramón Dorado back to New Mexico legally, but they haven’t found a solution.

Officials with The University of New Mexico, where Ramón Dorado had planned to transfer, suggested he apply for a student visa. But his visa application was denied because he had violated immigration law by living illegally in the U.S., his mother said.

Noble said an immigrant who lives for more than a year in the U.S. without legal status would have to wait for 10 years before he or she is considered for any immigration benefits.

MISSING MALAYSIAN PLANE

THE NEW MEXICAN Sunday, March 23, 2014

By Philip P. Pan and Kirk Semple The New York Times

he night sky was clear above the clouds, and the last glimmer of a setting half-moon had faded when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, cruising at 35,000 feet over the Gulf of Thailand, approached the border between Malaysian and Vietnamese airspace on its usual route to Beijing. What happened next should have been routine for a twice-daily milk run between two of Asia’s most important cities. Air traffic controllers outside Kuala Lumpur usually hand the jet off to their counterparts in Ho Chi Minh City as the flight turns northeast toward the Chinese capital.

But in those early hours of March 8, pilots flying nearby heard an unusual crescendo of chatter on the radio frequencies used by radar control in Vietnam and Malaysia. Air traffic personnel in both countries were trying and failing to reach the plane.

“Any stations in contact with Malaysian 370, please relay.”

Vietnamese and Malaysian controllers asked one aircraft after another to radio the jet. Pilots listened as one plane after another tried and heard only static.

“Malaysian 370, this is Malaysian 88.”

“Malaysian 370, this is Malaysian 52.”

People familiar with the calls, describing them for the first time, said they were calm, even laconic. The pilots trying to reach the airliner had no reason to believe it had suffered anything more than an ordinary radio malfunction. But those initial attempts to find a plane in the skies would soon evolve into an urgent multinational search operation spanning land and sea in two hemispheres. They signaled the start of what has become perhaps the most perplexing case in modern aviation.

More than two weeks after Flight 370 disappeared, unbridled speculation surrounds the unfolding global drama.

So much is uncertain about what happened on the plane, and so much of what has been disclosed by Malaysian authorities has been contradicted, that hardly any theory of its fate can be easily dismissed. On Saturday, the authorities said a Chinese satellite had made a new sighting of a possible object floating in the southern Indian Ocean in the area that is now the focus of the search, and China was sending ships to investigate.

Based on dozens of interviews with people whose lives were touched by the plane as well as with outside experts and investigators from the two dozen countries searching for answers, this report presents a portrait of Flight 370 and the

T

A routine flight turned mystery search to find it using what is known to date. But by necessity, it is an incomplete picture.

A routine night Malaysia Airlines flies from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing twice daily, nonstop. The red-eye, departing at 12:35 a.m. and landing at 6:30 a.m., can carry a hodgepodge of travelers: vacationing Malaysian families, European businessmen pursuing deals, Chinese tourists returning home after visiting relatives or shopping.

Passengers are advised to arrive at least two hours in advance. On March 7, a delegation of 34 Chinese artists, relatives and organizers who had spent the past several days participating in an art exhibit in Kuala Lumpur played it safe with the city’s unpredictable Friday night traffic and arrived about 8 p.m.

Perhaps the most prominent of the artists was the flight’s oldest passenger, Liu Rusheng, 77, a calligrapher who had published an essay about how much he treasured life because he had “cheated death” six times, beginning when he was abandoned temporarily by his parents as they fled Japanese soldiers invading China.

Philip Wood, 50, an IBM executive from Texas and a regular on the flight because he was relocating from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur, was in coach but hoped to be upgraded. He had long legs and a platinum frequent-flier card, said his partner, Sarah Bajc, 48, a teacher.

Others on the flight were just passing through Kuala Lumpur, including Shi Xianwen, 26, a new father returning to China from a business trip to Australia. At the airport in Perth, he spent 40 minutes picking out a bracelet watch for his wife, whose birthday was approaching, an employee at the dutyfree shop said.

And two passengers boarded using stolen passports: Pouria Nourmohammadi Mehrdad, 19, and Seyed Mohammed Reza Delavar, 29, Iranian men described by Interpol as migrants being smuggled into Europe.

The airplane The plane the passengers boarded was a Boeing 777, one of the world’s most popular and advanced passenger jets, and Boeing’s first fly-by-wire commercial aircraft, in which electronic controls replaced manual ones.

At 1:19 a.m., a voice identified by the authorities as that of the first officer, Fariq, replied, “All right, good night.”

Two minutes later, Flight 370’s transponder stopped responding. It is unclear whether someone turned a dial on an instrument panel between the pilot and co-pilot and put the transponder in standby mode, or whether a malfunction caused it to go quiet.

The “Triple Seven,” as it often called, has all but replaced the 747 because it is cheaper to operate and can fly up to 16 hours without stopping to refuel. It also has one of the industry’s best safety records, with only two serious accidents in the 19 years it has been in service.

By the time it pulled up to the gate at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on March 8, the plane had completed more than 7,500 flights and clocked more than 53,400 hours in the air, according to Flightglobal, a news and data service for the aviation sector. That put it well within the average economic life of 23 years for a wide-body passenger jet.

In other words, there was little to distinguish this plane from the roughly 1,170 other Boeing 777s now in use. That is why it is so crucial to determine if the plane’s disappearance was due to any malfunction or defect related to its design, build or engineering.

“The industry does not like uncertainty,” said Mark Rosenker, a former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. “We will find out what happened.”

Boarding As they stepped on to the plane, the 227 passengers of Flight 370 were greeted by the flight attendants, four women in sarong kebayas and six men in gray threepiece suits. Some distributed hand towels, juice and newspapers in business class; others helped those in economy find their seats.

Outside, ground crews loaded the passenger luggage into the jet’s cargo hold, which can carry up to six pallets and 14 shipping containers. The airline said no hazardous or valuable goods were on the flight. But among the cargo were a “significant” number of lithium batteries — which can be flammable —

more than is typically sent in a shipment, one U.S. official said.

In the cockpit were the pilots: the captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, who joined the airline in 1981 and had 18,365 hours of flying experience, and his first officer, Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, who was transitioning to the Boeing 777 from the airline’s narrow-body fleet.

With two Rolls-Royce Trent engines, each capable of generating more than 92,000 pounds of thrust, the jet raced down the 2.5-mile-long runway and lifted off at 41 minutes after midnight. As the plane banked and climbed, some passengers might have spotted the glow of Kuala Lumpur and perhaps the Petronas Towers in the distance.

At 1:07 a.m., as the jet approached the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, ground crews received what the authorities have described as a routine text message from the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System, or ACARS, which sends regular updates on the condition of the plane by radio or satellite.

As the plane approached Vietnamese airspace, Subang informed the pilots that they were being transferred to radar control in Ho Chi Minh City.

Mystery signal As air traffic controllers struggled to re-establish contact with Flight 370, military radar at the Butterworth air force base on Malaysia’s west coast picked up an unidentified aircraft near where the plane disappeared.

But the watch team, normally an officer and three enlisted personnel, either failed to notice the signal or decided not to designate and track it as a “zombie,” which would have pushed the information up the chain of command and possibly alerted air command.

At a briefing on the base the next night, about 80 air force personnel were told there was “no proof” the unidentified signal showed the missing plane making a sharp turn, flying back across Peninsular Malaysia and then turning again and heading northwest over the Strait of Malacca, a person familiar with the situation said.

But investigators now believe that is exactly what happened.

The failure to recognize Flight 370 in the radar data — or refusal to do so, to avoid the embarrassment of admitting an unidentified plane had breached air defense — meant the Malaysian authorities continued

to search in the seas to the east instead of the west of the peninsula. Military radar last recorded the signal at 2:22 a.m., about 200 nautical miles northwest of Butterworth, according to an image of the radar track.

The authorities also failed to move quickly on data that showed the plane continuing to fly nearly seven more hours: a series of regular handshake signals from the plane to a satellite seeking to determine if the aircraft was still in range.

Chris McLaughlin, a vice president at Inmarsat, the satellite communications firm, said technicians pulled the logs of all transmissions from the plane within four hours of its disappearance. Then, after a day without sign of the plane, they began scouring the company’s databases for any trace of Flight 370.

“We decided to go have another look at our network to see if there was any data that we had missed,” McLaughlin said. It turned out there was. Inmarsat technicians identified what appeared to be a series of fleeting “pings” between Flight 370, a satellite over the Indian Ocean and a ground station in Perth, Australia.

The signals — seven of them transmitted at one-hour intervals — were an important clue because they could have come only from an antenna receiving power from the plane itself.

But while they carried a unique code identifying the aircraft as Flight 370, the signals contained no positioning or other data that could indicate where the plane was when it sent them.

By Sunday afternoon, a team of Inmarsat engineers concluded the plane had turned again. But it may have then traveled in more or less a straight line, heading north over countries likely to have picked it up on radar, or south toward the Indian Ocean and Antarctica.

By then, more than a week had passed since the last satellite ping, recorded at 8:11 a.m. March 8. It appears to have come from over the southern Indian Ocean, halfway around the world from where the plane should have been, on a tarmac in Beijing.

Foreign adoptions by Americans drop sharply New figures show Russian ban has largest impact

By David Crary The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The number of foreign children adopted by U.S. parents plunged by 18 percent last year to the lowest level since 1992, due in part to Russia’s ban on adoptions

by Americans. Adoptions from South Korea and Ethiopia also dropped sharply.

Figures released Friday by the U.S. State Department for the 2013 fiscal year showed 7,094 adoptions from abroad, down from 8,668 in 2012 and down about 69 percent from the high of 22,884 in 2004. The number has dropped every year since then.

As usual, China accounted for the most children adopted in the U.S. But its total of 2,306 was far below the peak of 7,903 in 2005.

Ethiopia was second at 993, a marked decline from 1,568 adoptions in 2012. Ethiopian authorities have been trying to place more abandoned children with relatives or foster families, and have intensified scrutiny of orphanages to ensure that children placed for adoption are not part of any improper scheme.

Russia had been No. 3 on the list in 2012, with 748 of its children adopted by Americans.

But that number dropped to 250 for 2013, representing adoptions completed before Russia’s ban took effect.

The ban served as retaliation for a U.S. law targeting alleged Russian human-rights violators. It also reflected resentment over the 60,000 Russian children adopted by Americans in the past two decades, about 20 of whom died from abuse, neglect or other causes while in the care of their adoptive parents.

Moving into the No. 3 spot for 2013 was Ukraine, currently engaged in political conflict with Russia. Ukraine accounted

contended that the decline stems in part from the way the State Department has applied the Hague Convention on Inter-Country Adoption, which establishes ethical standards for international adoptions The U.S. entered into the agreement in 2008 with strong support from adoption advocates who hoped it would curtail fraud and corruption, and then lead to a boom in legitimate adoptions. Instead, the decrease has continued.

“The U.S. has encouraged and in some cases strong-armed impoverished countries to sign the Hague Convention and then cites their inability to comply with strict Hague standards as a reason for not doing intercountry adoption with them,” Johnson said.

Johnson expressed hope that Congress would support a bill introduced with bipartisan support last year — the Children in Families First Act — that would encourage more adoptions of foreign orphans. It would create a new bureau in the State Department assigned to work with non-governmental organizations and foreign countries to minimize the number of children without families — through family preservation and reunification, kinship care, and domestic and international adoption.

for 438 adoptions, followed

by Haiti with 388, Congo with 313 and Uganda with 276.

Despite the relatively high numbers of adoptions from the Congo, that African country has been the cause of heartache from some American families trying to adopt Congolese children. In several instances, U.S. parents have obtained court approval for adoptions and taken custody of the children, only to be denied exit permits that would enable them to bring the children to the United States. They face a choice of living in the Congo with their children or returning to the U.S. without them.

“It’s a terrible shame,” said Susan Jacobs, the State Department’s special adviser on children’s issues.

Along with Russia and Ethiopia, the biggest contributor to the one-year drop was South Korea, which accounted for 627 U.S. adoptions in 2012 but only 138 last year. Jacobs said this decline was due primarily to new adoption procedures implemented by South Korea.

The last time there were fewer foreign adoptions to the U.S. was in 1992, when there were 6,472, and the downward trend has dismayed many advocates of international adoption.

obin Poague seems like a stand-up guy, but he and the U.S. Forest Service have some explaining

to do.

On Feb. 22, four Forest Service law enforcement agents wearing flak jackets and carrying sidearms descended on Taos Ski Valley accompanied by a drugsniffing dog to perform a drug sweep that turned up very little: citations and warnings to skiers for violations ranging from “possession amounts of marijuana” to cracked windshields.

Aside from the fact that having a cracked windshield practically constitutes proof of New Mexico citizenship, the operation was at least heavy-handed and, according to one witness I spoke to, the Forest Service officers were practically snarlRob Nikolewski ing at patrons.

I talked to Poague, Commentary a Forest Service special agent based in Albuquerque, who says he’s responsible for signing off on the sweep and said, “I do have concerns about the tone of the law enforcement activities up there.”

Poague said an “after-action review” has been ordered to see what went right and what went wrong. Let’s hope tough questions are asked that lead to clear-cut answers.

In defense of the agency, a portion of the ski valley sits on U.S. Forest Service land, so the Forest Service has a right to enforce laws in the ski valley’s vicinity.

But the operation — I guess you could call it a raid — has led people to express surprise that the Forest Service even has a law enforcement division and, more significantly, raised questions about whether one is really needed.

If there are suspected drug problems on federal land, isn’t that the role of the DEA? And couldn’t this operation have been better coordinated by using local Taos law enforcement?

Former Gov. Gary Johnson is spitting nails. He’s an avid skier and Taos resident who says the incident is another example of the further militarization of federal law enforcement in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. He’s got a good point, and if you want to read a series of frightening examples of the trend, check out Radley Balko’s book Rise of the Warrior Cop. We’ve come a long way from Andy Taylor and Ranger Rick. It’s time for a re-evaluation. uuu

The NCAA Tournament is underway, with March Madness taking the country.

While the tournament and its “bracketology” have become part of the national landscape, there is one thing about this time of year that bothers me: coaches, such as Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, referring to their players as “my kids.”

Can we ditch this practice? First of all, anyone over the age of 18 is not a child; they are adults. They may be young adults, but they are adults.

During the just-completed legislative session, many lawmakers — including Gov. Susana Martinez — referred to “our children” when discussing fixing the state’s lottery scholarship program. I know there’s no intention to offend, but there’s something patronizing about calling college-age adults “kids.”

As a society — whether it’s overprotective “helicopter parents” or even the Affordable Care Act’s provision allowing sons and daughters to stay on their parents’ health care policies until the age of 26 (26?!) — we keep extending what constitutes childhood. I don’t think it’s healthy.

I’m going to get all old and cranky on this one, but in World War II an overwhelming number of young men — some of them under 18 — fought and died for their country. They were not children, and I suspect anyone who referred to them as kids would have received a welldeserved kick in the butt.

When you turn 18, you are old enough to vote, old enough to join the military, old enough to be prosecuted as adult should you break the law and, I say, old enough to legally buy a drink. But that’s another column for another day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Girls sports teams don’t need an ‘ette’ I was thrilled to read and encouraged by the editorial (“A championship season for Santa Fe,” March 18). As a varsity soccer player in upstate New York in the early days after Title IX (a “Cougar”), and the mother of a female high school basketball player in Santa Fe (a “Griffin”) and a male sprinter and soccer player (also a “Griffin”), I have been puzzled by the feminization of sports teams’ names, particularly here in New Mexico. The Demons are athletes first, then young women.

Gender equality Congratulations to the Santa Fe Demonettes on the state championship! But what’s with the “ettes”? It diminishes the value and standing of female athletes. Schools should be more conscious of Title IX, which promotes equality of gender in education and name their teams in gender-neutral terms and refrain from diminishing the value of girl athletes by adding the diminutive “ettes.”

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance” — Title IX United States Code. If a girl is devalued as an “ette,” how can she aspire to go to the Olympics, apply for an college athletic scholarship or join a professional team? Congratulations, Santa Fe Demons girls basketball team. Good job!

dismissal on Friday afternoons. They don’t want improvements to the curriculum. They don’t want to be evaluated. And they disagree with holding children back who can’t read by the third grade.

The dropout rate is atrocious, but the teachers seem unwilling to try, or allow others to try, to recapture the students so they can earn their diplomas. The graduation rate is low, and those who do graduate are not prepared for either work or college. It seems the teachers union is more concerned with the teachers than the students.

In Santa Fe, it is “all students left behind.”

Catherine Rampell’s commentary (“To women: More than grades matters,” March 17) advised, “Stop trying to be straight-A students.” That recalled something said by the female president, of Blackburn College when she visited a few years ago.

Not enough time After reading the article about the Santa Fe Public Schools calendar, I just have to comment (“New SFPS calendar keeps short Fridays,” March 19). Why is next year’s session planned for only 176 days rather than 180 days? Superintendent Joel Boyd and members of the school board should know better.

What’s more, it seems that members of the teachers union do not have the best interests of the children of Santa Fe at heart. They cry they don’t have enough “planning” time without early

Santa Fe

A bad alternative Unbelievable. Under the “leadership” of Superintendent Joel Boyd, the Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education voted to allow an outof-state contractor to “recruit” existing students into an alternative high school (most students recruited will be those who already have dropped out). That’s at an average rate of $6,700 per student (“Board OKs firm for dropout program,” March 19).

Not surprisingly, the administrators of this company are cronies of Superintendent Boyd.

Poor Joel. His current duties must not keep him busy as he has “volunteered” to be principal at this alternative school. Sadly, Joel will move on in a couple of years with inflated graduation rates (remember he is leading the push to let districts determine whether students meet state-mandated proficiency), and Santa Fe will get a new superintendent with “fresh” ideas and the cycle will continue. Thanks, Joel. You’ll be remembered long after you’ve left.

he sun has set on Sunshine Week this year.

No, that’s got nothing to do with solar energy or John Denver songs or the importance of using sunscreen. According to the Sunshine Week website, it’s “a national initiative to promote a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. Participants include news media, civic groups, libraries, nonprofits, schools and others interested in the public’s right to know.”

It’s also a time in which reporters like to write stories about examples of government agencies not living up to their stated goals of open government and freedom of information. Of course, we like to do this as much as possible throughout the year.

But somehow it’s more fun to write about the Steve Terrell dark clouds of governRoundhouse ment secrecy during Roundup Sunshine Week.

My contribution to the cause this Sunshine Week was a story about trying to get information on how much state money was used to pay for the travel of Gov. Susana Martinez and her entourage for various out-of-state trips last year.

Basically, I’ve waited almost six months to get the first batch of expense reports and more than three months for the rest.

While the Governor’s Office has provided me with dates and destinations of the trips, the state Department of Finance and Administration has claimed my requests were too “broad.” So, I’ve been told, more time — months and months more time — is needed to compile the information.

Here’s another un-sunshiny thing: The administration doesn’t allow the public to inspect actual records of the travel, such as receipts, hotel bills, etc., citing that old enemy of sunshine, security concerns.

Here’s the official reasoning from the DFA: “Disclosure of procurement card statements creates security risks to the governor and the governor’s family. Procurement card statements for the governor and the governor’s security detail identify the officer assigned to protect the governor and/or her family on specific dates and include transaction-level detail, including the transaction date, vendor name [e.g., hotel or restaurant], and city and state of the transaction.”

A cynic might say Gov. Martinez might still be sensitive about disclosing names of restaurants since the 2010 election.

That year, one of her Republican primary rivals, Allen Weh, ran TV ads attacking her because when she was Doña Ana County district attorney, some of her staff members were reimbursed for meals at Hooters in two cities. That information, of course, came out of documents obtained in a public information request.

No, I’m not saying Martinez or her team were eating at Hooters franchises all over the country. But then again, I can’t honestly say they weren’t. They won’t let me see those records.

Could it be that Martinez’s folks are dragging their feet because they don’t want the public to know that the state spends thousands of dollars on sending police to guard the governor when she goes out of state?

A story I wrote last September, based on an earlier public records request, reported that the state spent more than $27,000 on 11 out-of-state trips between the end of the legislative session in midMarch and early June last year.

That’s not a huge amount of money, but some might argue taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay anything for political trips.

Here’s a suggestion that Martinez’s campaign might want to consider: Have the campaign or one of the governor’s political action committees reimburse the state for transportation, lodging and food for staff and security.

That’s what Martinez’s predecessor, Bill Richardson, did back in 2007 when he was spending a major chunk of that year in Iowa, New Hampshire and other states while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination.

I don’t know how much all these trips cost (they haven’t given me the records, remember?), but judging from the $27,000 figure for the three months I have gotten records for, I would guess the total cost of last year could not be much more than $100,000.

A $100,000 or so reimbursement from a campaign that had more than $3 million in the bank as of the last report would buy $1 million in good PR. Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@sfnewmexican.com. Read his political blog at roundhouseroundup.com.

Walking the diversity walk

G

ov. Susana Martinez, to many in the GOP, is a symbol of what the party needs to win national elections. She is Hispanic, female and personable — so much so, that she has been asked to serve as a Republican ambassador to grow the party’s influence with minorities and women. She is considered a top vice presidential candidate for 2016. She symbolizes something else as well.

Republican leaders don’t understand that it’s not enough to talk about inclusion. Their policies and attitudes have to change to actually reach out to women and minorities.

A year ago, after Republicans lost a presidential race they thought they should have won, the party put together an “autopsy” of its failure. Key findings included the conclusion that Republicans should champion comprehensive immigration reform, reach out to women and minorities, and soften its stance on gay rights.

Nationally, even without such reforms, the 2014 midterm election picture is promising for the GOP — that’s often the case for the party out of power as a presidential term ends. A majority in the House of Representatives is a sure thing for Republicans, and the odds of the GOP taking back the Senate are improving. However, to win a presidential election, the GOP — at least in the report it put together — understands it needs to win more votes from young people, women and minorities. So far, all the party has is talk.

Closer to home, Martinez is charged with helping diversify her party. Yet, as she sits down to consider the state budget, she vetoed $150,000 dedicated to a three-year program to encourage Native students to go to college (something proposed by her own Department of Higher Education). She vetoed dedicated advertising dollars to support Santa Fe Indian Market and Spanish Market — the markets might take place in Santa Fe, but the tourists they attract spend money that benefits the entire state. Since Martinez took office, she has vetoed almost half a million dollars in appropriations for the African American Performing Arts Center and Exhibition Hall at Expo New Mexico. These aren’t the actions of someone reaching out to under-represented communities so that they will find a new home in the Republican Party. More talk, in other words.

Because at the end of the day, people know when they are wanted and valued. A party that pretends to value diversity, while pushing policies that restrict minority voting rights or that won’t reform immigration, isn’t going to fool voters. By that measure, Martinez could be the perfect ambassador for her party.

Expand program for officers

C

ount us among those thrilled that a police officer chooses to live in a city park.

Yes, Deputy Chief John Schaerfl is getting a sweet deal — $50 a month to rent the space for his mobile home at Ashbaugh Park. He’s lived there since 2002, when he was a patrol officer and before he made around $99,000 as a deputy chief. In exchange for such low rent, Schaerfl is expected to be on call, even when he’s at home relaxing.

Let’s stipulate that despite being on duty 24-7, and even on a patrol officer’s salary, $50 a month for a space is low.

However, unless there is a line of officers waiting for that space, it does no harm for the deputy chief to park his mobile home there, even at such a reduced rate. What the story reveals, though, is that the city of Santa Fe — its new mayor, soon-to-be-selected city manager, next police chief, City Council and officers — should review the concept of officers living near parks and schools and set up a program with more uniform guidelines.

Getting officers to live in Santa Fe rather than drive in from Rio Rancho has long been a goal of the Santa Fe Police Department. That Deputy Chief Schaerfl is raising his family in Santa Fe is a good thing. That he is on call at a park in the middle of town is also a good thing.

What should happen now is that this program be expanded, rents be set uniformly, and young officers be recruited. Limits on how long an officer could stay — especially as he or she rises through the ranks — can be part of any new guidelines. Expansion to neighborhoods, so police officers also could rent houses that otherwise would stand empty, offers a logical next step in making life in Santa Fe more inviting.

Until that happens, we’re just pleased to have another officer who lives where he works.

COMMENTARY: RAMESH PONNURU

GOP midterm strategy falls short R epublicans think they’ve hit on the perfect strategy to win back the Senate in 2014: Sit back and let it happen.

Everywhere they look, things are going their way. President Barack Obama’s job approval is in the low 40s. His health care law is doing a bit worse than that.

Many of the Senate elections that will be contested in November are in states that went for John McCain and Mitt Romney in the last two presidential elections. Polls show the party even has a shot in some blue states, such as Michigan, which last elected a Republican senator 20 years ago.

Republican David Jolly won a special House election last week in a Florida district that went for Obama twice. That victory added to Republicans’ sense that they have momentum, and it’s leading them to think that they’ve improved their turnout machine since 2012.

So a lot of the party’s leaders are turning passivity into a strategy. What they’re telling one another is: Don’t make yourself an issue. Don’t make serious legislative proposals, because they will only be targets for Democrats. If Republicans make sure not to nominate weak or extreme candidates, and simply rail against Obama’s health care law, they will win.

This strategy has ease of execution going for it. Coming up with policy proposals that make sense and will fly politically, and then convincing colleagues to back them, is hard work a lot of Republicans would rather avoid. And inaction might pay off: Republicans probably will make gains if they do nothing, just because it’s a midterm election under

a Democratic president. Inaction also minimizes risks. Uniting behind some illconsidered policy initiative could indeed weaken the party’s momentum.

The flip side of that advantage is that the passive strategy doesn’t maximize opportunity. It’s true that public confidence in Obama and the Democrats has fallen on a broad range of issues, from health care to foreign policy. But that doesn’t mean people have gained confidence that Republicans would do well on those issues. It only means that Republicans have an opening to make their case.

Individual Republican lawmakers have proposed far-reaching reforms of health care, the tax code, higher education and jobs programs. Each of those proposals comes with political risks. But each could also help Republicans position themselves as pragmatic problem-solvers rather than merely Obama-haters. They could finish their case against the administration’s agenda by arguing that there’s a better way to get the results Americans want.

And sometimes the lack of a proposal is itself a target. That Republicans have never united behind a health care proposal that would do much to increase the number of people with insurance has been one of the Democrats’ top talking points for years now. Sure, they say, Obamacare has its flaws, but the Republicans have no alternative: They would leave millions of people uninsured.

Counting on Democratic unpopularity could also prove too complacent. Take a look at the Huffington Post’s poll averages. Obama’s net job-approval rating is

slightly up since the start of February. His rating on the economy has been improving since early December. He has been rising on foreign policy since late September. While the president is still “upside down,” as the operatives say, on all those measures, Republicans would be foolish to assume that the trend is their friend.

And even if Republicans succeed by taking the path of least resistance, they will be storing up future trouble. What if they win the Senate? In that case, Congress will have to move legislation. Republicans will have to come up with attractive conservative bills then, so that Obama will either feel it necessary to sign them or pay a political price for vetoing them. They will be in much better shape if they have campaigned on some of these ideas. That way they can say that the public knew what it would be getting by voting for Republicans. Republicans will also be better able to achieve unity among party congressmen, who will be more likely to feel that they’re invested in these ideas as a group.

If Republicans want to govern after 2016, for that matter, they should start preparing now: coming up with an agenda, selling it to the public and refining it as they go.

But those considerations involve thinking past the next elections, and that’s not something that comes naturally to a lot of politicians.

As a haughty journalistic scribbler, I tend to look down on television, so it’s a bit painful to acknowledge its potential for good. But the evidence is overwhelming.

A careful study by Robert Jensen of UCLA and Emily Oster of the University of Chicago found that before television arrived in Indian villages, traditional attitudes ruled: Women had to get a man’s permission to leave the house, and 62 percent of women said it was acceptable for husbands to beat wives. Then villagers watched Indian soap operas with middleclass urban families in which women aren’t beaten and leave the home freely. These norms infiltrated the village, and the arrival of television turned out to be equivalent, in nurturing more egalitarian attitudes, to five years of female education.

The master of injecting causes into storytelling is Neal Baer, the television producer behind ER and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Baer, a doctor who helps lead the Global Media Center for Social Impact at UCLA’s school of public health, wove issues like vaccination and rape-kit testing into his shows, raising awareness in ways that no news program could. Polling showed that one ER episode about cervical cancer doubled the audience’s awareness of links between the human papillomavirus and cervical cancer.

Some more good news. After a hiatus, MTV will introduce season five of 16 and Pregnant on April 29. Family planning clinics had better stock up!

Time for PNM to transform energy portfolio A

Kids know importance of wolves bout this time last year, students (kindergarten through eighth grade) submitted drawings and essays along with ideas for names to Lobos of the Southwest for the first annual Mexican wolf pup naming contest.

Ninety entries came in from New Mexico, Arizona and places as far away as Pennsylvania and Italy. The kids got out their pencils and crayons and imagined the life of a wolf, and came up with names such as Little Wild and Huckleberry.

Paula Nixon Newborn wolves look like German shepherd puppies. Born in the spring, they are helpless. Eyes closed, they stay in the den with their mother, the alpha female, whose mate brings food to her. Within a few weeks the pups are toddling around, but staying close to the den, getting to know the other pack members, who bring them food and babysit while their mother goes out to hunt. By late summer the newest members of the pack are big enough and strong enough to follow the adults.

They run and hunt with their family pack for several months, sometimes until they are 2 or 3 years old.

Pups named in last year’s contest were born in the wild in 2012, part of the Mexican gray wolf recovery project. In the late summer or early fall, the field team that monitors and manages the wolf population trapped the pups and assigned each one a studbook number so they could be identified and tracked. Fifteen pups had been outfitted with radio collars by the time the contest started, and each got a name.

I have copies of two of the winning entries hanging above my desk: Clover and Keeper, born just about two years ago.

Clover was named by fourth-grader Gypsie G., for the good luck that it brings to itself and others. The female pup, f1280, was born to the Bluestem Pack. Late last year she began to travel separately from her pack with AM1038, an alpha male whose mate had been killed illegally. Clover is now considered part of his pack, the Hawk’s Nest, and soon the field team will be able to tell if she is traveling less, spending more time in one area, preparing a den for the birth of a litter.

Keeper, male wolf m1277, also of the Bluestem Pack, was named by Turner B., a thirdgrader. The wolf in Turner’s drawing looks serious and includes this, “I didn’t want to make him look cute because there is nothing cute about the idea of extinction.” Turner has a Facebook page called Kids for Wolves, dedicated to saving wolves, and when Keeper was found dead, shot illegally in December, he wrote, “I am so sad.” He also called for action with letters to the secretary of the Interior Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, urging that the laws protecting the wolves from illegal killing be more strictly enforced.

All of us, kids and adults alike, can do what Turner did and write letters supporting the recovery of the Mexican gray wolf in its historic habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting comments about proposed changes to the listing of the endangered wolves through Thursday at fws.gov.

Addresses and phone numbers for members of Congress and other government officials can be found at usa.gov.

It only takes a few moments.

Let’s make sure that Turner and Gypsie and all of our kids might, on a dark and quiet evening, hear the distant howls of Clover and her pups.

Sunday, March 23, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

very important resolution was heard March 12 and will be heard again 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Santa Fe City Council Chambers. It is a resolution that acknowledges Public Service Company of New Mexico and the governor for choosing to close half of the San Juan Generating Station instead of putting pollution controls on all four units. It also implores the state Public Regulation Commission to consider alternatives to PNM’s proposed energy replacement power plan.

The decision made regarding replacement power will be the most critical strategic energy determination facing the state now and for the foreseeable future. Let’s get it right.

PNM wants to close half the coal plant. That’s a great start. We want them to close the entire plant. Lots of other states are getting out of coal, too. The financial and environmental risks are just too high.

California is getting out. Tucson Electric Power is getting out of most of its shares, and in the latest plan — filed last month, is considering retiring the rest of its shares.

I am part of a group called Northern New Mexico Climate Activists, and we are advocating for as much renewable replacement power as possible. Nevada retired coal and is replacing power with a mixture of solar and gas. Minnesota and Colorado also are choosing solar “because they were least-cost resources.” I know the City Council cares about saving money and job creation. It just makes sense to create clean jobs here with all our solar and wind.

Part of PNM’s plan is to replace 400-plus megawatts of coal with more coal. It is crazy for PNM to spend our money to invest in a 40-yearold, inefficient power plant.

Any further investment in coal at this time, when the Obama administration is targeting coal because it is the single greatest contributor to climate change, is risky. PNM is gambling with our dollars.

PNM also wants to replace

coal with more nuclear power.

Has anybody been following Fukushima or the recent radiation leak in Southern New Mexico? “Nuke site workers’ health risks unclear,” The Santa Fe New Mexican headline stated.

Both proposed replacement energy resources use huge amounts of water. PNM’s San Juan coal plant uses more than 6 billion gallons of water every year. This is about 11,000 gallons a minute. Both Albuquerque and Santa Fe depend on the San Juan-Chama Project as an important source of drinking water. Drier winters make this watershed even more precious.

PNM’s proposal also doesn’t address the ancillary impacts of coal, including the dangerous amounts of carbon dioxide emissions — the highest in the state, as well as water usage and mounting coal ash. In October 2013, a Washington, D.C., court ruled that EPA must regulate coal ash. Just like the ash that accumulates in your fireplace, this ash also builds up, but this ash is extremely toxic, high in arsenic and other heavy metals. Even according to PNM, the cost of coal ash regulation could be significant.

So why is PNM stuck on repeating the extraction craze that has caused so much harm?

They make more short-term profit at our expense. PNM’s plan will cost more money for ratepayers than an investment in renewables. Renewables have no negative consequences that contaminate our water and poison our air. PNM’s proposed portfolio does not include enough renewable energy.

If you care like we do about reducing the harm from globalwarming-causing pollution and transforming our energy portfolio, then join us and speak out against PNM’s coal and nuclear plan and for the resolution. Come to City Hall, 200 Lincoln Ave., on Wednesday.

Deadline to buy health care around the corner

T

he clock is ticking. Thousands of New Mexicans will lose their ability to buy affordable health insurance under the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange if they fail to enroll by March 31. If they miss this important deadline, unless they become covered by an employer or have a life-changing event such as marriage or birth of a child, they will be unable to get health insurance coverage until January 2015 at the earliest. So sign up today!

Much has been said and written about the affordability of the insurance plans provided by the exchange. If an individual is making less than $45,000 a year and a family of four has a household income of less than $96,000 a year, they may be able to afford health care insurance for the first time and pay no premium or a low monthly premium. Why? Because they could qualify for federal subsidies to help pay their premiums, deductibles and outof-pocket costs.

The New Mexico exchange has been working to make it as easy as possible for individuals to calculate what their premium subsidies would be and to shop available plans Mike through the “NM Nuñez Care Compare” tool at www.bewellnm.com. Anyone can use this tool to see their options, savings and costs without having to first complete an application. We at the exchange are committed to give you simple-to-use resources to find out the best option for you and your family.

There are a couple of other important points people should keep in mind when deciding whether to enroll in health care insurance this year. The first is that no one with a pre-existing condition can be denied coverage or charged more because of it. So, even

if you have a serious acute or chronic health care problem, you can get health insurance.

The second point to remember is that there are penalties. This year, the penalty is $95 or 1 percent of your adjusted gross income, whichever is higher. It might not sound like much, but the penalty will go up every year from now on. And why pay a penalty for nothing when instead you can get something you actually need?

That brings us to the third point.

You don’t need health insurance until you need it. You break a bone, or you end up in the hospital with pneumonia or have to have your appendix taken out. Or a member of your family gets sick. Without insurance, hospital and medical bills can seriously impact your finances, your credit and keep you from achieving important goals.

You pay for car insurance and home owners or renters insurance; why not protect your and your family from an

unanticipated accident or illness with health insurance?

The New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange is here to help to simplify the process. We’ve got an army of more than 400 insurance agents and brokers statewide who, at no cost, can help you choose and enroll in a plan, as well as nearly 500 certified health care guides. To get help, simply call our tollfree bilingual hotline, 855-996-6449, or go to www.bewellnm.com, click on “I Need Help” and type in your ZIP code to locate one-on-one assistance near you. We’ve made it even easier now.

If you can’t get to a computer, you can text us for help by sending the message BeWellNM to 311411.

Don’t wait until March 31. The time is now to enroll in affordable coverage.

Mike Nuñez has been interim CEO of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange since mid-May 2013. He has a total of 25 years of experience in the health care industry.

Extension service opens opportunities for youth

Or a weekend EZ-Pay print subscriber?

hile New Mexico State University’s Cooperative Extension Service is well-known for providing research-based education in traditional areas such as agriculture, nutrition and 4-H, extension programs also bring powerful STEM and health-related educational programs each year to thousands of youths across New Mexico.

The focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics as well as health-related education has become a key component of the extension mission over the past decade.

Integration of STEM and health topics in youth programs has enabled the service to reach more than 50,000 kids each year.

In counties across New Mexico, extension programs include science, technology, engineering, mathematics and health through non-traditional, handson education. For example, STEM education is an important part of New Mexico’s 4-H experiential project menu. This year alone, 54,392 New Mexico youths enrolled in 4-H projects that covered the biological sciences, environmental science, engineering, agricultural science, health and nutrition, and others.

The projects gave youth foundational science concepts, offered decision-making opportunities, built responsibility, created platforms for innovative thinking, provided socialization around learning and emphasized team building.

STEM is the name of the game for two special 4-H clubs in Bernalillo County solely focused on robotics. Their program revolves around the FIRST LEGO League, a national program that culminates in an annual theme-based competition.

The Bernalillo County teams recently competed for the first time in the FIRST LEGO League State Tournament in Albuquerque. The competi-

Extension’s annual Valles Caldera Youth Ranch Management Camp in Northern New Mexico emphasizes science-based concepts, advanced technologies and applied skills used on commercial beef cattle operations to increase long-term sustainability, conservation stewardship, beef production management, business production, environmental impacts and economic challenges.

Camp participants learn about natural resource stewardship, and wildlife and fiscal management. They are challenged with college-level curricula to develop a ranch management plan. They learn ranch technologies, range management techniques, the importance of co-existing with wildlife and how to estimate wildlife populations.

agriculture and natural resource sciences that complements in-class instruction by enhancing content through hands-on learning opportunities. The center engages students in research and experiments pertaining to agriscience and natural resource sciences.

As the New Mexico Cooperative Extension Service moves into the future, we anticipate our role in bringing essential STEM-related educational programs to the youth of New Mexico will become an even more vital focus of our work. As we continue to build productive partnerships in school districts and communities across the state, we also will look for opportunities to expand and improve our programs to uniquely meet the needs of youth in our state.

The work we do in STEMrelated education mirrors our overall mission of providing information and education and encouraging the application of research-based knowledge in response to issues affecting individuals, youth, families, agricultural and natural resource industries, and rural and urban communities of New Mexico.

We must keep local needs at the forefront. Our success will largely be measured on how well we listen, respond to our clientele needs, and bring about change that improves the quality of life for New Mexicans.

Religion still being used to control the masses I t’s happening again.

The people who seek to keep the rapidly developing permanent underclass in ignorance and abject misery are using religion as a major weapon. In medieval times, the church declared scientists, social reformers, philosophers and other visionaries to be heretics. They were hunted down and eliminated.

No burning at the stake in modern times, but trivialization and defunding — a virtual denial of a place at the table for visionaries. “Progressive” has become a four-letter word to the 1 percent who seek absolute rule over the rest of us. And the Bible is their preferred tool for doing so.

Women are being forced back into kitchens and bedrooms by states seizing control of the bodies of any who become

pregnant, and by denying them the means to prevent pregnancy.

Any who deviate from the sexual norm are denied equal rights and even services available to the majority. The vast body of geological, archaeological and paleontological science is being replaced by dogma that says the Earth and all its inhabitants were created whole less than 10,000 years ago.

Global climate change is ignored in favor of “God will provide” complacency. And Jesus’ “The poor you will always have with you” is cited as a reason to abandon the war on poverty, while ignoring the example he set by alleviating suffering.

The economic overlords do not for a minute believe the doctrine spewed by religious fanatics they pay to enact laws

that are putting our society in a narrow box designed to keep the 99 percent submissive to the rule of the wealthy. But, as did the medieval clerics and rulers, they are using it effectively to maintain their dominance.

Throughout history, with some exceptions, religion was a valuable tool for advancing civilization by bringing order to chaos, and by creating a template for establishing communities and countries. But, now, it is being used to hold back progress toward a better life for all, and to shape societies according to the dictates of those who would gain absolute dominion over our world. Religion has evolved from a social savior to a social tyranny that is being used to promote economic tyranny.

MY VIEW: CARLA SONNTAG

Author George R.R. Martin walks by the Jean Cocteau Cinema in January, when fans were lined up all day to see the first three episodes of Game of Thrones.

TECO would be good for state T

here has been relatively little publicity about the application pending before the Public Regulation Commission for TECO Energy to acquire New Mexico Gas Co. However, approving the application, which has been pending since July 9, 2013, would bring many benefits to the state.

TECO Energy, based in Tampa, Fla., is a large utility holding company with more than $7 billion in assets and a strong credit rating. It has been in the utility business for more than a century and has an exemplary record of providing excellent gas service and a reputation for safety practices that has earned it recognition for excellence by the American Gas Association. TECO has been a driving force in Florida in leading economic development efforts and intends to do the same in New Mexico, which could contribute significantly to our economic recovery.

TECO has been successful in helping businesses convert to natural gas vehicles which, if

its successes can be replicated here, would be a boon for New Mexico’s economy and environment. Natural gas vehicles are a new focus for the Farmington area, which is rich in this plentiful resource. This could be an incredible opportunity to further this industry while jump-starting the economy in the Four Corners area.

TECO has undertaken an extensive process to assure that the integration of New Mexico Gas Co. is done with considerable care to assure that nothing jeopardizes service reliability or causes rates to increase unnecessarily. It also has promised to make annual investments in service reliability projects, which would benefit the construction industry and help avoid service interruptions such as those experienced in February 2011.

Recent reports that 136 employees in New Mexico will lose their jobs due to this acquisition are inaccurate. While the thought of losing even a single job is unpleasant, it’s important to understand what is being

For former chief, gratitude for service

P

ublic service is not for the faint of heart. Now, place that “servant” in a position of authority, in a uniform, strap a gun on his waist, put him in charge of a number of other men and woman whose job it is to protect the citizens, place him in the eye of public scrutiny, and you have a public servant not only in need Paul of heartfelt Schmitt strength but someone who must work to achieve a rare balance of integrity, good judgment and action.

Ray Rael is a man who found this balance with grace and style. He realized the value of strength, kindness, openness and conviction.

He approached his duties as the city of Santa Fe’s chief of police with a gentle, firm hand, always willing to help. The chief was ready to approach any situation knowing the importance of listening and

knowing how to do so with respect to all those involved.

The duty of a police officer is to serve and protect the community. To successfully do this involves going beyond a limited point of view and doing what is necessary in a calm, precise manner that upholds the peace. No, being a police officer is not for the faint of heart.

Being the chief of police demands a special person with the courage of one who strives to understand.

I know that, no matter where Chief Rael goes from here or what he does, he will always be that person. We were all so very fortunate to have a man of this caliber as our chief of police.

Paul Schmitt is a founding member and co-chairman of New Mexicans for Gun Safety.

considered and how it will be handled. Job reductions would only occur when efficiency and lower costs could be achieved so that rates can be lower in the future than they otherwise would be. No job reductions will occur that would jeopardize service reliability. TECO has also made it clear that not all job reductions would occur in New Mexico — some would happen in Florida.

Furthermore, TECO expects that most job reductions would be voluntary and any New Mexico Gas Co. employees who lose their jobs would receive severance packages to help them as they transition to a “second career” or retirement.

TECO has stated that it has no intentions of moving New Mexico Gas headquarters from Albuquerque, nor does it plan to eliminate positions that deal with service reliability.

My position as executive director of the New Mexico Utility Shareholders Alliance allows me the perspective of looking at commission cases

from both a customer viewpoint and the investor perspective, because many thousands of utility investors in New Mexico also are customers. A strong, financially healthy, well-run utility is beneficial to everyone.

TECO is a company that can bring that to its ownership of New Mexico Gas. I urge New Mexicans to look objectively at the benefits TECO would bring to customers and our great state as a whole and to let the PRC know that it should approve the application promptly. Approval by the commission will send a positive message that New Mexico is a business-friendly state, ultimately benefiting customers and New Mexico’s economy alike.

‘Game of Thrones’ and Jean Cocteau treasures

T

he last free episodes of Game of Thrones are being shown on Monday, before the next, new HBO season starts in April. I attended all the showings from the beginning, standing in line and getting to know the other regulars. In line sometimes, we were greeted by actors from the show appearing in person. Other actors and writers Skyped in after episodes to answer questions from an adoring, intelligently hip audience.

George R.R. Martin himself Skyped in from New York last week, but he’ll be back on Monday. In addition to the actors, we have gotten to know some wolves, because of Parris McBride’s (Martin’s wife) involvement in the Wild Spirit Sanctuary.

What a treat this experience

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 23, 1914: Anyone who believes that he is a good wolf hunter or trapper should try his luck in the Chama mountains in the northern part of New Mexico.

Forest Supervisor Marsh at Tres Piedras in a letter to the district office reports that the wolves are increasing on the Carson National Forest at an alarming rate. In addition to the wolves there are more lions than usual in this part of the country. The local cattlemen are becoming considerably worked up over the situation and are offering a bounty of $30 for wolves, which is in addition to the county bounty of $10.

March 23, 1964: St. Francis Cathedral was the scene of the presentation of the coveted Marian Award to Girl Scouts of the Sangre de Cristo and Chaparral Councils. The ceremony was held Saturday. The Marian Medal is the national award conferred by the Catholic Church on Girl Scouts. It was developed by the National Chaplains Committee to provide the opportunity for Catholic girls to broaden their knowledge of their Catholic heritage and become active members of their parish and community.

March 23, 1989: An incredible opportunity awaits 71 sixthgraders at Agua Fría Elementary School. The students could attend the college of their choice for free if they make good on a six-year contract they will sign next week with three “dream-makers.” The children must stay in school, remain free of drugs, do their homework every night and participate in after-school and summer programs designed to build their self-esteem. The tab will be picked up by local businessman A. David Silver, City Councilor Peso Chavez and a third sponsor who asked to remain anonymous. The three sponsors have committed to raise the funds by 1995.

The Game of Thrones series is great, and the books are even better. New cultural archetypes are being created right here in our City Different. This is magical, this is big.

MY VIEW: JOSEPH L. MOURE

Saving the elephants — a more practical approach A frican elephants are being slaughtered for their ivory, which is a valuable and desirable commodity. It is estimated that the oldest piece of carved ivory may date back 40,000 years.

For most of history, a delicate balance existed. Elephant populations were great and the demand for ivory was not overwhelming, but the Industrial Revolution brought manufacturing technology that made ivory products such as billiard balls, piano keys and other consumer items readily available in volume. Thus began the worldwide slaughter of elephants.

Nowadays, few consumer items are made from elephant ivory, but the workshops of China still produce vast amounts of product, accounting for 70 percent of the illegal trade, which costs the lives of an estimated 20,000 elephants a year.

In 1974, the United States signed the Convention on International Trade

in Endangered Species treaty, or CITES. Supposedly this was going to curtail the slaughter of elephants, but the criminal enterprise of ivory poaching has actually increased since the Joseph L. treaty has been in Moure force.

CITES isn’t working for the elephants, so our misguided response has been to destroy caches of illegal ivory.

The U.S. and China recently crushed 12 tons of ivory, which in the opinion of many knowledgeable experts, serves only to make freshly poached ivory more expensive.

Rather than exploring the spectrum of ideas to crack down on the criminal trade in ivory, a biased U.S. advisory group has recommended to the president that a complete ban on the sale of ivory be established in the U.S.

(President Barack Obama listened; he banned ivory sales with an executive order last month.)

Not all ivory is obtained from poaching. Some African countries cull elephant herds to control overpopulation and use the proceeds of their ivory sales to finance conservation efforts.

Also, ivory can be harvested from animals that died from natural causes. In addition, a significant amount of ivory comes from the islands off Siberia where mammoth tusks remain plentiful and are perfectly legal to harvest and trade.

Chinese demand is at the epicenter of the illegal ivory trade, but the U.S. and the rest of the developed world does not have the will to confront our Chinese bankers. Americans may not be blameless, but the problem is a matter of Chinese demand.

Most ivory that exists in the United States is antique, and it isn’t locked away in museums. Ivory can be found

Americans may not be blameless, but the problem is a matter of Chinese demand.

in sculpture, jewelry, musical instruments, furniture, decorative objects, scrimshaw, cutlery, weaponry, medical instruments, pool cues, canes and much more. Banning the sale of antique ivory will do absolutely nothing to stop poaching, but it will create chaos in some segments of the economy and potentially make criminals of the average citizen.

Rosewood, ebony and other rare woods are also covered by the CITES treaty. Should we ban the sale of existing products made from those

HOSTS program helps children read

E

Funded locally by the generosity of the Buckaroo Ball, HOSTS provided initial training, ongoing coaching and follow-up for teachers from three schools in Santa Fe. These teachers included Debby Maas, who had had a master’s in education in reading and 23 years of teaching experience. She spearheaded the program at César Chávez.

Debby Maas’ story could be called “the making of a natural teacher.” A stay-at-home mom with a 2-year-old son, Maas found herself enjoying spending time with the children of the neighborhood. Together they read stories, collected rocks and did art projects. “I realized that I just loved the kind of communication you have with a young child whose mind is growing every day,” Maas said.

HOSTS in Santa Fe started in three different schools. The entire public school community has supported the effort.

Administrators, school board members, administrative assistants, itinerant teachers all have taken a turn until the programs were able to fill their tutoring slots with volunteers. Funding to maintain HOSTS after the initial implementation was provided through Title I, a federal program that provides funding for schools with high poverty rates.

Students who participate in the program cover the full range of the school’s population. Statistics support the feeling in the HOSTS classroom that this program is a success. Children are tested in the fall and in the spring to determine progress in reading comprehension. Typically, they show an average of two reading levels of growth. Maas will retire this year after 15 years of true dedication to the program.

Principal Felicia Sena, herself a volunteer, has promised that HOSTS at César Chávez will continue its outstanding record.

Shanna MacLean is a strong advocate for communities joining with schools to support students and families.

THE TRINITY METHOD OF INVESTING – presented by Peter

s we begin anew, the Solace Crisis Treatment Center hopes this season finds everyone in our community happy, healthy and enjoying life.

January is traditionally has been a time for reflection. Many people, myself included, experienced difficult challenges in 2013. No matter how daunting the difficulties in the past year, we can persevere with love, compassion, hope, friendship and the support of our families and community. Now, with spring, we can take what we have learned from the winter of reflection into summer.

The powerful and the strong among us are not always what they seem. Their public persona may conceal private, painful struggles that lead to emotional turmoil, and they hide it well.

In order to maintain a positive state of mind, professionals in the world of crisis and trauma treatment must find new ways to deal

with the realities of any number of tragic events. Doctors, nurses, volunteers and first responders who witness heinous crimes like rape and murder understand this quite well. They also have the capacity to understand traumatic events affect us in ways we may not be conscious of and they need the support of professionals trained to deal with unresolved emotions.

The irony of life is: What is most beautiful in the world arises from adversity.

Let’s remember we all have to endure hardships, misfortune, money problems, crime, oppression, discrimination, mental illness — but by trusting our instincts, forgiving ourselves and persevering, we will be surprised by the resiliency within and the way these experiences define us as human beings.

very week at least 129 Santa Feans — yes, count them — drive over to César Chávez Community School on Jaguar Drive and donate time to coach second- and third-graders in reading skills.

Communities in Schools claims one of its most important essentials for successful schools is “a one-to-one relationship with a caring adult.” Mathew Frauwirth has been doing this in the Help One Student To Succeed program for 13 years. Mathew, who had been a volunteer Shanna MacLean tutor before he moved to Santa Fe, says what drew him to the program initially was its strong organizational structure. HOSTS is a structured mentoring program in reading.

The volunteers follow a lesson plan specifically directed to what each of the young readers needs.

Robert Vigil, a 15-year volunteer, is at HOSTS every morning. Retired from his previous work, Vigil says it is especially rewarding for him when a shy student comes in and over time becomes a friend. He finds it exciting to see a student’s confidence grow and also notices how they come to know and respect older people. “You can feel their desire to work and their concentration increase.”

Kathy Myers works at the National Center for Genome Resources and spends her Monday lunch hour at HOSTS. She tutors the same two children every week and is very excited about how hard they work. She says that when she started, she didn’t realize how much she would be learning, too.

HOSTS, formerly a national corporation, originally came to Santa Fe via Superintendent Lee Vargas in 1998. He had used it in his school district in California.

hardwoods, too?

This problem is far too important for the typical emotional response. People who are too lazy to familiarize themselves with this issue should step aside and allow for substantive analysis and debate.

And by the way, maybe we should consider a ban on chocolate, since possibly 200,000 African children have been sold into slavery to work in the cocoa industry.

Regulation has resulted in the record slaughter of elephants and destroying illegal ivory has made the poaching trade more profitable. We should explore practical options and check our emotions at the door.

‘Thrones’ fans to get sneak peek – in Spanish Only 125 tickets will be available for the free Jean Cocteau showings, including one in English

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Santa Feans can get a sneak peek Saturday at the Game of Thrones Season 4 premiere in two free showings — including one in Spanish — before the episode airs April 6 on HBO-TV. Vince Kadlubeck, of the Jean Cocteau Cinema, said theater

owner George R.R. Martin wanted to offer a Spanish-language showing, which won’t be subtitled, to help draw more of Santa Fe’s large Hispanic population to the theater and because he wants to welcome the whole community.

Martin, a Santa Fe resident, is the author of the Song of Ice and Fire fantasy book series that inspired the popular HBO show.

“We want to try to get people down to the Jean Cocteau from the Spanish-speaking community,” Kadlubeck said. “Jean Cocteau wants to be known as a theater that’s for the entire community, and we think showing Spanish-language films and doing the Spanishlanguage events are an important aspect.”

According to a Wall Street Journal article, HBO also has been trying to encourage a more multicul-

CELEBRATING THE CULTURE OF JAPAN

CARLSBAD — Employees at the federal government’s troubled nuclear waste dump in southeastern New Mexico are preparing to enter the facility’s underground mine for the first time since a radiation leak contaminated workers last month.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced Saturday that 35 workers have undergone training simulations at a Potash mine before re-entry next week into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.

Employees went through a two-hour underground session using protective gear and air-breathing units, officials said.

Workers spent this week training for various scenarios that could occur in the mine.

According to the Department of Energy, the plan is for workers to set up an operating camp near a salt-handling shaft and then check for a secondary exit in the shaft that controls air flow. After that, they will focus on finding the source of the radiation release.

The repository near Carlsbad stopped taking all waste shipments after an underground truck fire on Feb. 5. Nine days later, a radiation release shuttered the plant. A series of shortcomings in maintenance, safety training, emergency response and oversight were cited by a team that investigated the truck fire.

The New Mexico Environment Department withdrew a preliminary permit this week for the dump’s request to expand its facility, citing the fire and the leak.

It is unclear, however, if the two incidents are related.

The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is the nation’s only permanent underground repository for low-level radioactive waste, including things like plutonium-contaminated gloves, tools and protective clothing, from nuclear weapons facilities.

With the nuclear waste dump shuttered, operators for the plan made an agreement with Waste Control Specialists to ship radioactive waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory to rural west Texas.

City releases water to the Santa Fe River

Audubon center seeks more help for spring

The city of Santa Fe is releasing a little water into the Santa Fe River to keep space in its only usable reservoir free for snowmelt.

The city is allowing water to flow only into the McClure Reservoir in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The city’s other reservoir, Nichols, is closed for repairs on a water intake structure.

“The water storage level of McClure Reservoir is approaching 78 percent of total storage capacity,” said Alex Puglisi, a city water official. “We are currently experiencing one of the longest periods of time that the water storage level of McClure Reservoir has been near, or above, 80 percent of total storage capacity since the construction of the reservoir in 1926.”

Water managers are worried that one big rain could raise the reservoir levels above the dam.

The city will begin filling the Nichols Reservoir by this summer, and in September it will begin draining the McClure Reservoir to make similar repairs

The Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary is seeking about 20 additional volunteers over the next month.

Located on about 135 acres at the end of Upper Canyon Road, the center provides sanctuary for birds and wildlife, and offers community education programs, public hiking trails, historic tours, summer camps and a venue for special events.

“Dedicated volunteers have always helped us raise our game, so we are reaching out to the Santa Fe community in search of more people who are interested in donating their time to our unique community resource,” Steve Cary, operations and resource manager, said in a news release.

The center’s first big volunteer work day this year is April 12, when it needs extra hands to help clean an acequia.

For more information, contact Marcia Hilchey at 983-4609, ext. 30, or mhilchey@ audubon.org., or Cary at 983-4609, ext. 27 or scary@audubon.org. Information also is available at http://nm.audubon.org/ volunteer-2.

Yolanda Domínguez, a Spanish artist and social activist, will be a guest professor at New Mexico Highlands University from Monday to April 4.

A news release said Domínguez, 37, also will present her first street art installation in the United States.

Domínguez, also described as an acclaimed photographer, has become known for art that has social-issue themes such as gender equality and access to health care, said the statement from university.

Domínguez will participate in various public events during her visit, including a public forum starting at 6 p.m. Monday, followed by her art exhibit on the campus at 900 University Ave. in Law Vegas, N.M. Other events include a performance at the Las Vegas Plaza starting at 12 p.m.

Friday, when Domínguez will re-enact portions of her Poses and Fashion Victims installations.

At 12 p.m. April 4, she plans another plaza performance, which will feature university media arts students, followed by a discussion and public reception at 6 p.m. at the university.

An Antonito, Colo., man with six previous DWI convictions allegedly was impaired when he struck a bull elk March 15 while traveling across northern Taos County.

A state police officer was dispatched shortly after 4 a.m. to the scene of a car crash involving an elk on U.S. 285, according to court records.

The officer who located the animal’s carcass also found Alvin Romero, 66, behind the wheel of a silver van eight miles down the road and only 200 feet shy of the state line, a report says.

The windshield of Romero’s van was Alvin Romero “completely shattered,” the officer wrote in court records, “consistent with the elk making contact with the windshield.”

The officer said he detected alcohol on Romero’s breath and asked the driver to participate in a standard field sobriety test. But Romero refused to take the test, court records say.

He was taken into custody and provided two breath samples at the state police substation in Taos, with results indicating a blood alcohol content of 0.16 percent or 0.17 percent, twice the legal limit of 0.08, the officer reported.

Romero was charged with a third-degree felony count of aggravated driving while intoxicated as well as misdemeanor counts of leaving the scene of an accident and driving with a suspended or revoked license.

He was booked into the Taos County jail later that morning.

Teen arraigned in stabbing death of 12-year-old friend Attorney says client has low-functioning mental capabilities The Associated Press

LOS LUNAS — A 15-yearold New Mexico teenager accused of stabbing his 12-year-old playmate to death pleaded not guilty Friday to a murder charge.

Defense attorney Cindy Mercer entered the plea in a Los Lunas courtroom as the handcuffed teen remained silent with his head bowed, the Albuquerque Journal reported.

Mercer said her client’s lowfunctioning mental capabilities made her question whether he understands the proceedings or his rights, an issue she has raised at his grand jury indictment earlier this month.

State District Court Judge Violet Otero acknowledged Mercer’s concern before setting a $500,000 cash-only bond.

Valencia County Assistant District Attorney Darlene Weed said she was requesting a large bond because of severity of the injuries. Weed said Alex Madrid of Albuquerque was stabbed repeatedly in the head by an object similar to a screwdriver.

Madrid also was hit hard

enough in the torso to suffer a punctured lung and appeared to have been struck with a tire iron, she said.

According to prosecutors, the teen stabbed Madrid last month before placing his body under a mattress in a rural field at Meadow Lake, about 40 miles south of Albuquerque.

Roxanne Madrid, the victim’s mother, reported him missing when she went to pick him up from Meadow Lake and he didn’t show up.

The suspect ended up leading Valencia County Sheriff’s deputies to his body Feb. 18.

The teen told investigators he hit Madrid in self-defense because Madrid tried to stab him with a screwdriver following an argument over the teen’s infant daughter, according to an affidavit.

The 15-year-old’s baby girl is 4 months old, deputies said.

Prosecutors plan to try the teen as an adult unless he is deemed incompetent to stand trial.

Under New Mexico law, the state can charge minors as adults only if they are at least 14.

The Associated Press typically doesn’t identify juveniles charged in crimes.

Roxanne Madrid and other family members sobbed throughout the arraignment but did not speak.

Police notes The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating the following reports: u A laptop was stolen from the trunk of a vehicle parked in the 700 block of Galisteo Street sometime Thursday. u Someone forced open a door that serves two residences in the 2200 block of Vuelta San Marcos sometime Thursday and stole items from both residences. u Jerry Gonzales, 24, of Santa Fe was arrested on charges of false imprisonment and battery on a household member Friday evening after police responded to a call reporting domestic violence.

According to a Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office report, Garcia was leaving the La Puebla Recreation Area without her headlights on when she was pulled over and found to be impaired. Shada refused to submit to a breath test and allegedly attempted to spit on an officer, according to the report. u Leo C De Baca, 58, of Santa Fe was arrested on charges of aggravated DWI and reckless driving in the La Cienega area Saturday after crashing his all-terrain vehicle.

C De Baca was unconscious and being treated by medics when deputies arrived, according to a report, but witnesses said he drank about 12 beers and a half pint of tequila before riding his ATV. C De Baca sustained injuries in the wreck and was transported to the hospital for treatment, according to the report.

In Loving Memory One Year Anniversary RICHARD LEE BREWER March 3, 1941 - March 5, 2013 Richard, it has already been one year since you left to be with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Could this be possible? Your loving family and friends miss you even more as the days go by, remembering especially your exuberant laugh, your sweet smile and your eyes that sparkled with a hint of mischievousness. We love you dear Richard, and will always cherish the times we spent together.

Richard was born on March 3, 1941 in Wichita, Kansas to loving parents Glen and Helen Brewer. The family moved to Santa Fe in 1942, where Richard’s exceptional musical talents were discovered and further developed within the Santa Fe Public Schools’ Orchestra Program. By age sixteen, he had already become an accomplished cellist and was accepted as a member of the famed Santa Fe Opera Orchestra. Also, while still in high school, Richard played simultaneously in both the Rio Grande Symphony and the Santa Fe Sinfonetta.

After graduating from Santa Fe High, Richard continued to develop his musical talent at the University of New Mexico, where he earned his B.A. degree in Music in 1963. While still a university student, Richard served as principal cellist in the Albuquerque Symphony Orchestra. Following his graduation from UNM, he was accepted by the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra where he played for three years.

In 1967, Richard became a member of the prestigious St. Louis Symphony Orchestra where he spent the remainder of his 46-year musical career, retiring in 2010. During his tenure in St. Louis, Richard was privileged to travel extensively with his "orchestra family" throughout the US and to various world destinations, doing what he loved most - performing beautiful music for the enjoyment of appreciative audiences everywhere.

Following his retirement, Richard and his best friend and partner of 29 years, Jim Johnson, moved to Rowland, Texas. Although Richard’s retirement years were short, he made the most of them, enjoying the mild Texas weather, swimming, traveling and best of all sharing his Faith in Jesus with as many friends and family members as possible.

Richard was a devoted son, brother, uncle and friend, preceded in death by his parents Helen and Glen Brewer and nephew Markus Hendricks. He is survived by partner, Jim Johnson; sister, Glenda Lucero and brother-in-law, John; sister, Debra Hendricks and brother-in-law, Richard; brother, Robert Brewer and sister-inlaw, Annie Gladstone.

Charles proudly served his country as a Marine through WWII & The Korean Conflict. Charles remained in the Marine Corp via the active reserves retiring as a "full bird" Colonel. Charles also led his reunion group VMB613 for many years thereafter.

In the private sector, Charles worked for various military contractors throughout his career. Among those contractors was Hughes Aircraft, where Charles was personally acquainted with Howard Hughes, General Eisenhower, and President Nixon.

Arizona bill targets wolf-recovery program Lawmakers want to give livestock owners right to kill federally protected species, ban conservation efforts

By Astrid Galvan The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Arizona Republicans who say the federal government is overstepping its boundaries are targeting a gray-wolf recovery program with bills that allow livestock owners to shoot the wolves while also directing the state Legislature to consider banning conservation efforts.

The Senate Committee on Govern-

ment and Environment on Friday approved a bill that would allow ranchers to kill wolves in self-defense and would direct the Arizona Legislature to consider pulling the state out of the program. It also would require officials to push for federal reimbursement for any damage to, and use of, private property involving Mexican wolves. For example, the federal government would be required to reimburse ranchers if their cattle lost value

JOHN LOVE, 1923-2014

Bataan Death March survivor worked to correct historic photo

By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — John E. Love, a Bataan Death March survivor who led a campaign to change the caption on a historic march photo from The Associated Press, has died. He was 91.

Love died Monday after a long battle with cancer, said Gerry Lightwine, pastor at La Vida Llena, an Albuquerque retirement home where Love lived.

As a 19-year-old member of the New Mexico Guard, Love was one of 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers who were taken captive by the Japanese in World War II when the U.S. forces surrendered in the province of Bataan and Corregidor Island in April 1942.

In all, tens of thousands of troops were forced to march to Japanese prison camps in what became known as the Bataan Death March. Many were denied food, water and medical care, and those who collapsed during the scorching journey through Philippine jungles were shot or bayoneted.

“I was one of the first 300 or 400 off the march to enter Camp O’Donnell, and they [prisoners] began dying that same day,” Love told the Albuquerque Journal in a 2009 interview. He estimated he carried more than 1,000 bodies to the graveyard.

For the remainder of the war, Love was forced to work in a Japanese copper mine until John E. Love being liberated in 1945.

After the war, he enrolled at The University of New Mexico and graduated in 1950. He worked at Conoco Inc., for 35 years and lived in El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston and Arlington, Texas, with his wife, Laura Bernice Ellis, who died in 2000.

In 2009, Love joined a campaign with other Bataan Death March survivors to change the caption on one of the most famous photos in AP’s library about the march. The photo, thought to be of the Bataan Death March, actually was an Allied POW burial detail.

Following a six-month investigation, The AP corrected the caption in 2010, 65 years after the image was first published. AP archivists confirmed Love’s account of the burial detail at a prisoner-ofwar camp in the weeks that followed the Death March.

When Love learned of the caption revision in March 2010, he became emotional with a reporter.

“Son of a gun. Isn’t that great?” Love said. “It brings tears to my eyes. It really does.”

because of Mexican wolves.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service already has a program in place that reimburses livestock owners for the death or injury to animals caused by gray wolves.

House Bill 2699 is similar to one passed in the Senate that also targets the federal program that aims to reintroduce Mexican gray wolves in Arizona, New Mexico and other states. Proponents say the wolves are detrimental to livestock and that the federal government is overstepping its boundaries by imposing the program on the state.

“How can the federal government tell us that they are just going to use our property without permission?” asked Rep. Bob Thorpe, R-Flagstaff.

Thorpe’s bill is similar to one the Senate passed last month that also allows livestock owners to shoot wolves if they are threatening their livestock.

Opponents of the bill say Mexican wolves don’t actually kill as many livestock as proponents say they do.

In fact, the federal Fish and Wildlife Service paid out $14,300 for the deaths of 19 livestock in 2012, the latest available figure.

Sandy Bahr, director of the Grand

Canyon chapter of the Sierra Club, said the bill violates the federal Endangered Species Act. “Basically it treats wolves as if they did not belong in Arizona, and as we know, these are a native wildlife species that are being recovered. Wildlife is not private property. It’s a publictrust responsibility, and trying to say that a wolf shouldn’t wander over a piece of private property over state trust lands is inappropriate and contrary to law, certainly,” Bahr said.

There are currently 82 Mexican wolves in both Arizona and New Mexico, a Wildlife Service spokesman said.

National Park Service, Navajo family at odds over ancestral homestead

‘I want this land for my children’

By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press

WUPATKI NATIONAL MONUMENT, Ariz. efore an expanse of grassland and pueblo ruins in northern Arizona was declared a national monument, it was home to hundreds of Navajos whose ancestors returned to settle the area after a forced march to an Eastern New Mexico internment camp.

Slowly, the Navajo families left Wupatki National Monument, too, either voluntarily or under pressure by the National Park Service, which sought to eliminate private use of the public land it managed. Only one Navajo woman remains.

When 89-year-old Stella Peshlakai Smith dies, her residency permit dies with her, ending forever the Navajo presence at Wupatki.

The Peshlakais have vowed to fight for the land surrounded by the Little Colorado River valley, snow-capped mountains and towering mesas, where their sheep once grazed freely. Support for the family is mounting among state and tribal officials, but it’s up to Congress to decide whether they can stay.

“This family has had a homestead there for generations and generations, years, and we want that to be made right,” Navajo Nation lawmaker Walter Phelps said.

Smith estimates that dozens of extended members of her family would move back if given the chance.

An exhibit at the Wupatki visitors center highlights the struggle between the Peshlakais and the Park Service, and hints at the broader story of American Indian ancestral lands across the country that have become public property.

One 1970 letter on display is from the Park Service to a former U.S. senator from Arizona. It says: “At no time have the Navajos who grazed within the monument had any title in the land. … In the absence of appropriate legislation, these lands could not be surrendered to the Peshlakai family.

We believe such legislation would not be in the public interest.”

It’s the same position that monument Superintendent Kayci Cook Collins takes today. She said tribal members connected to Wupatki are able to conduct ceremonies there, and the Peshlakai family can visit Smith’s homestead. But reserving property for the Peshlakais could invite other tribes, whose ancestors built pueblos and traded goods at Wupatki, to lay claim to the land.

“In general, units of the National Park Service are not managed to hold private residences on public land,” she said. “The situation the National Park Service tried to be sensitive to does not exist for the other families.”

Smith was born at Wupatki a month before it became a national monument, and was raised there by her father, Clyde Peshlakai, who acted as the monument’s custodian. Clyde Peshlakai is credited with discovering the Wupatki “blowhole,” a geologic feature that forces cold air from the ground and sucks in warm air. His burial site is a two-room stone house visible from the road that loops around the monument.

Along the rugged road that leads to Smith’s home are reminders of Navajo homesteads: old sheep corrals, wooden logs pitched for a sweat lodge and a traditional Navajo dwelling where Smith’s great-grandfather, Peshlakai Etsidi, is buried. Etsidi was among thousands of Navajos who endured cold, disease and starvation in the U.S. government’s attempt to relocate them to Bosque Redondo near New Mexico’s Fort Sumner, in what’s

known as the Long Walk.

Etsidi returned to northern Arizona around 1870, after the Navajos signed a treaty with the federal government that defined a reservation for the tribe.

The reservation did not include land that would become Wupatki National Monument, where Etsidi and other Navajos resettled. Their children made a playground of its low-lying grasslands, sandstone outcroppings and scrub brush.

Herding sheep, a staple of Navajo tradition and a sign of wealth, was an everyday task.

But the Park Service feared overgrazing and asked Navajos to move their sheep off the monument at times and imposed herd limits. Members of the Peshlakai family said they were forced to move beyond the Little Colorado River.

Elsie Tohannie said she was in her late teens or early 20s when a former monument superintendent told her the family couldn’t live there.

Now 82, she resides with her family in Flagstaff but has vivid memories of Wupatki. She moves her hands as if creating scenes of the landscape that her family says is the source of countless stories of her childhood.

“Absolutely it bothers me,” she said of leaving the land where she grew up. “It’s something no one can recognize, the pain.”

Another family member, James Peshlakai, has no desire to return to a place under Park Service control. He was born about a quarter-mile from the Wupatki visitor center in 1945. He recalls his mother, Katherine, being evicted while he was in school in Flagstaff and hitchhiking to the monument to find her alone with her sheep. He said he and his siblings fash-

ioned a shelter from tree branches and blankets that they lived in during the winter before going elsewhere.

By that time, Katherine Peshlakai had separated from Clyde Peshlakai. James Peshlakai said he later intervened when the Park Service asked his father to sign a land-use permit, but the elder Peshlakai declined, saying, “I want this land for my children.”

James Peshlakai’s daughter, Democratic state Rep. Jamescita Peshlakai, has introduced a resolution in the Legislature for Arizona to declare its support of the Peshlakai family and their continued residency within the national monument. The Navajo Nation Council has passed a similar resolution.

“Sadly, it’s a story typical of every Native American family in the Americas,” she said.

No request to allow the Peshlakais to live at the monument has been submitted to Congress, but the family has an advocate in Democratic U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick. The congresswoman said that while federal land-management policies have evolved over the years, “we cannot forget that the people who have emerged with the land are inseparable.”

Across the West, few American Indians remain on lands that have become iconic tourist destinations managed by the federal government. The Grand Canyon set aside a housing complex for Havasupai tribal members displaced by the national park. Navajos also live at Canyon de Chelly National Monument near Chinle, but the land is Navajo-owned, and the monument is jointly managed by the tribe. The 38 sites in four states that make up the Nez Perce National Historical Park include reservation land.

Man claims mental illness in ‘Thunder’ shooting incident The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A man accused of firing a gun as he tried to make off with costumes and props used by Thunder From Down Under male performers in Las Vegas denies the allegations against him.

In jailhouse interviews Friday with KLAS-TV and the Las

Vegas Sun, Joey Kadmiri said he suffers from mental-health and drug problems and needs outpatient therapy.

“I hope that I can get past this and get the proper mental help on the outside, outpatient, and be a good person again with my family and have everything being back to being normal. That is all I want in my life,” he said.

Kadmiri, 24, said he’s convinced all police are out to get him and he believes everyone is an officer when his hallucinations intensify. That’s why he refused to go to court Friday for his arraignment on felony attempted murder, armed robbery, burglary and weapon charges, he said.

“I have these hallucinations that I’m running away from

somebody, and I ended up backstage somehow,” he said, adding he was on methamphetamines that night.

Terrified that someone wanted him dead, Kadmiri decided to use the show’s costumes as a disguise, he said.

“I didn’t try to hurt anyone.

I know myself,” Kadmiri said.

“I was just trying to protect myself and be safe.”

In brief FBI seeks suspect in stabbing case GALLUP — Federal and tribal authorities are searching for a Gallup man accused of a Christmas Day stabbing on the Navajo Nation.

FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said Saturday a federal arrest warrant was initially issued for 43-year-old Calvin Bennie Fuson on Jan. 22.

Fuson has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon with the intent to do bodily harm.

Authorities say Fuson stabbed an adult relative in the chest with a long kitchen knife in Naschitti on Dec. 25, 2013.

They say the victim survived.

Fuson is described as Native American, 6 feet tall, approximately 172 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes.

He also has tattoos on his hands and upper right arm.

Wounded police dog recovers ALBUQUERQUE — Albuquerque police say a police dog is recovering after undergoing surgery for multiple gun-

shot wounds.

Officer Simon Drobik said Friday a veterinarian removed a bullet from the dog’s spine.

According to Drobik, Rico was sent into search of a commercial property where there had been a reported burglary earlier in the day.

Drobik says police learned Rico, who was shot three times, was wounded when he came back out.

Police say they then heard gunfire and tried to make contact with a person who had attempted to evade officers.

Investigators then found a body of a man at the business.

Drobik says the cause of death isn’t available, but officers did not fire any weapons during the incident.

He says the age and identity of the deceased aren’t yet available.

Massive Wash. landslide kills 3

By Donna Gordon Blankinship The Associated Press

SEATTLE — A massive landslide of mud, trees and rocks in rural Washington killed three people on Saturday, critically injured an infant and several others, and destroyed six houses, authorities said.

The slide blocked the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, which prompted an evacuation notice because water was rising rapidly behind the debris.

Authorities worried about severe downstream flooding if water suddenly broke through the blockage.

The landslide also completely covered State Route 530 near the town of Oso, about 55 miles north of Seattle. It was at least 135 feet wide and 180 feet deep and hit just before 11 a.m., Snohomish County authorities said.

The Snohomish County sheriff’s office reported that two people had been killed at the scene. Authorities later said one of the people who was rescued died at a hospital.

The injured included a 6-month-old boy, who was in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said two other victims were in critical condition — an 81-year-old man and a 58-year-old man — while a 37-year-old man was in serious condition. Gregg said Harborview had one other male patient from the landslide, but no information on his condition was available.

Five of the injured were brought to Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington, and one has already been treated and released, said hospital spokeswoman Jennifer Egger. She didn’t know the condition of the others.

Southern California sees big drop in bank robberies The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Southern California used to be known as the “Bank Robbery Capital of the World.”

Not anymore.

The number of robberies has declined, part of a larger trend that has seen crime rates fall across the nation, the Los Angeles Times reported.

There were 212 bank robberies last year — the lowest since the 1960s — in a seven-county region overseen by the FBI’s Los Angeles office.

At the height of the robbery spree in the early 1990s, the region saw 2,641 bank heists.

During the worst year in 1992, more than two dozen banks were looted in a single day.

The drop “definitely has exceeded my expectations,” said former agent Bill Rehder, who retired in 1999 after supervising bank-robbery investigations for two decades.

Better security at banks such as bulletproof acrylic glass has made it harder for bandits to get access to money, authorities said. They also credit the

to quickly brake to avoid the mudslide.

“I just saw the darkness coming across the road. Everything was gone in three seconds,” Paulo Falcao said.

Search-and-rescue help came

from around the region, plus the Washington State Patrol and the Army Corps of Engineers.

Authorities believe the slide was caused by ground water saturation from recent heavy rainfall.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for Snohomish County through Sunday afternoon.

Forecasters warned that some flooding was also possible north of the slide area. The Weather Service said “catastrophic flooding” was unlikely downstream, but authorities were taking no chances and urged people to leave.

Bart Treece, spokesman for the Washington State Department of Transportation, said he didn’t know how long the twolane rural road will be closed.

Drivers were advised to find another way to get between Darrington and Arlington.

Barge leaking oil in Galveston Bay TEXAS CITY, Texas — Officials say a barge carrying 924,000 gallons of fuel oil has collided with another ship in the Houston ship channel and is leaking oil.

The U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement Saturday that it received a call at about 12:30 p.m. from the captain of the 585-foot ship Summer Wind reporting its collision with a barge.

The barge was being towed from Texas City to Bolivar at the time. The Coast Guard did not give an estimate of how much oil had leaked into Galveston Bay. A sheen of oil was been reported on the water, but it was unknown how much oil had leaked, the statement said. Six crew members of the tow vessel are all in stable condition.

Texas City Homeland Security director Bruce Clawson told The Daily News in Galveston that the barge sank and that there is no danger to the community.

MEXICO CITY — Mention Arizona, and many Mexicans grimace.

It’s still widely viewed here as the most anti-Mexico state in the U.S., even if the tough antimigrant law behind that perception has been largely voided.

But Arizona’s leaders are logging lots of miles to put a new face on their home state.

Official delegations have come across the border several times in the last year looking to drum up more trade and tourism in what is already a big business relationship — but one they say could be much bigger. They’re talking binational everything: companies with headquarters in Phoenix and factories in Mexico, wine tours that visit both sides of the border, even the first Super Bowl with Mexican sponsorship when Phoenix hosts the megasports event next year.

“We’re just like you are,” said Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin, who voted for Arizona’s controversial law.

He was speaking to a binational cocktail party in Mexico City this week, saying Mexicans and Arizonans want the same future for their children: “We’ll be here a lot more frequently, and we’re here to continue to make friends.”

“Friends” was the furthest term from mind in 2010, when the Arizona legislature made it a state crime to fail to get or carry immigration registration papers — a provision that was later thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court. Justices upheld the law’s provision that police, while investigating other crimes, are required to question people’s immigration status if they’re believed to be in the country illegally.

Drawing cries of racial profiling, the law sparked international protests and calls for boycotts of Arizona. It was loudly condemned by then-Mexican President Felipe Calderón, and U.S. President Barack Obama called it misguided.

Though it was largely gutted, the impact on the state’s image was lasting.

“Arizona has a stigma, just like Ciudad Juárez has a stigma,” said Rafael Fernandez de Castro, a Mexican academic and government adviser, referring to the Mexican border city known worldwide for drug-related vio-

VETERANS OF SPEED Father, son duo have a knack for racing and restoring vintage autos

By Dennis Carroll For The New Mexican

I

f it has wheels, Gene Nix and his son, Steve, probably have strapped themselves into it just to see how fast they could make the thing go around some track.

The two, who likely bleed 20-50 motor oil, own a horse stable operation off West Alameda Street and spend much of their time there restoring vintage autos, in particular a 1954 Hudson Hornet.

Gene, 81, remembers running super-modifieds and later sprint cars against NASCAR legends Bobby, Bobby Jr. and Al Unser junior and senior. Steve, 57, later raced against Bobby Unser Jr. — the two were rookies the same year — and others in the iconic racing family.

“When you’re racing, you might as well butt heads with the guys who are doing it for a living,” Steve said. “Just to see where you stand.”

Added Gene: “We beat them sometimes, but not as much as they beat us.”

The Nixes are both veterans of speed tracks throughout the Southwest. Steve still races, but Gene, who began racing in 1954 in the Texas Panhandle town of Shamrock, hung up his old leather helmet in 1983. “I was running for a guy up in Denver.

I was married and had two kids, and it was pretty hard to commute back

and forth [from Santa Fe] and make a living, so I pretty much hung it up.”

Following in his dad’s tracks, Steve first got behind a race car when he was 1 year old, but he managed to wait until he was 18 to take up competitive racing — other than Go Karts. Steve won numerous local and regional championships, including on tracks in Las Cruces and Albuquerque.

He said sprint cars can do about 100 mph on three-eighths of a mile dirt tracks, but on some of the half-mile tracks, drivers can push it even faster on the straightaways.

“It’s just a lot of fun,” Gene said.

“And you can’t buy adrenaline at the grocery store.”

The two have run a stable operation since 1982, their principal business, and Gene at one time raced thoroughbreds. “That had mainly been my livelihood. But the horse market crashed, and I started stabling for other people in 1986 because I had all the facilities.”

They now have 18 horses, he said.

Gene bought the 1954 Hudson Hornet from a Taos wrecking yard about 30 years ago but never got around to restoring it until recently.

“Every nut and bolt and everything on this car has been taken off,” Gene said.

Gene fell in love with the Hudson during his racing days in the 1950s. “I liked Hudsons from the days when I was racing them in the

streets,” he said.

“The Hudson Hornets from about 1951 to 1954 were winning all the NASCAR races,” Steve added.

“They were pretty hot and setting a lot of records.”

“It handled better than anything on the road,” Gene said, noting that it did so because of its low center of gravity, and it was an aerodynamic wonder. “You could be going 60 miles an hour in the rain and didn’t have to turn on the windshield wipers because the water would run right off.”

It was called a “step-down” design because there there was no structural frame except in the back and front to hold the suspension system. “There wasn’t a flat piece of metal on it,” Gene said. “The doors, the side and the top, it was all curved so you didn’t need a ridged frame.”

Because of its design and reliability, the car was often the choice of police department and taxi companies, Gene said. It was also a

popular family auto of the time.

The father and son are also in the process of restoring a 1940 Lincoln Zephyr, an eventual “highdollar” car, Gene said, for which they figure they need more bodywork experience. “When we get the Hudson done [which could be as early as this summer], we’ll get back to the Zephyr,” he said.

Outside the barn-turned-garage on their property sit a 1941 Chevy, a 1951 Riviera and a 1941 Cadillac acquired over the years, just waiting to be the Nixes’ next project.

The restoration, which includes making parts, is more of a treasured hobby than a money-making business for the two, although they have sold several cars after Gene “drove them around for a while.”

And there has been the occasional vintage car buff who ended up buying a car the Nixes were in the process of restoring.

“It’s all been a learning experience, and we take our time building them,” Steve said.

uuu Elio Miramontes has completed his three-month internship with the nonprofit Habitat for Humanity ReStore and has been hired as a permanent employee at the store.

Miramontes was a participant in the Workforce Innovation Apprenticeship Program, a partnership between Santa Fe YouthWorks and the city of Santa Fe’s Economic Development Department that strives to connect young people with potential employers.

YouthWorks students are placed as apprentices with local companies to learn new skills.

Keith Williams, financial manager at Habitat for Humanity, and Tony Byers, manager of the ReStore, said Miramontes is a “proud example of the young people” who participate in the Santa Fe YouthWorks program and then continue making contributions to the community.

uuu Terry Warnell has been hired as a new director for the New Mexico Stand Land Office’s Oil, Gas and Minerals Division. He has four decades of experience in the oil and gas industry and has been employed at the State Land Office in Santa Fe for nearly two years as a petroleum specialist supervisor.

Before that, he worked at Schlumberger, an oil field services company, for 25 years.

Prior to coming to the State Land Office, Warnell was employed for four years at the Oil Conservation Division of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department. He has been serving as the state land commissioner’s representative to the Oil Conservation Commission, which has a major role in setting oil, gas and environmental policy for the state.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, March 23, 2014: This year you open up to new possibilities. After having discussions with the right people, you will be able to develop a new interest or walk through a new door. If you are single, you will open up to dating a different type of person. Get to know someone well before you start dating him or her, as this person could be emotionally unavailable. Someone could easily pull the wool over your eyes. If you are attached, the two of you might want more time together.

Schedule several weekends away together from the daily grind. Capricorn likes to show his or her authority over others.

This Week: Honor a change between you and a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might have gone beyond the call of duty in handling responsibilities and helping others out. By midafternoon, decide to make time to pursue your desires. Many of you would be quite satisfied with just a nap! Tonight: Be with the one

This Week: Establish boundaries if you want more peace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Make hay while the sun shines. Someone might become argumentative. How you handle this person could be more important than you realize. Ask yourself whether you really support these disagreeable moments. Tonight: Know when to kick off your shoes.

This Week: Return calls before scheduling meetings.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov.22-Dec.21) HHHH Taking a risk happens more easily with you than with many other signs. Weigh the pros and cons, and ask yourself whether you can take a loss if it should occur. Only you have the answer. Avoid a quarrel with a friend. Tonight: Your treat.

This Week: Zero in on what you desire from Tuesday on.

tardate 4017.9 To: The Hon. Phad-9, Lord Protector of Bleeth From: Froth’nib, second daughter of Weenad6 and Fn Excellent news, Your Lordship. Our text analysts have decoded that deep-space data transmission we accidentally intercepted, and it is proof that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the Universe!

We have found it to be a collection of documents titled “Crossword Puzzles From The New York Times. On examination, these items appear to be a light form of diversion; nonetheless, by analyzing word frequency and emphasis, we have been able to construct what we Gene believe to be a detailed, accurate portrait Weingarten of this planet’s unusual society.

The Washington They are a warlike people but apparPost ently conduct their hostilities humanely, through single-combat proxy: Although they possess “Abombs” and “Hbombs,” by far the most common form of military engagement appears to be dueling through swordplay, using “epees.”

We conclude with a reasonable degree of certainty that the manufacture of epees is a major world industry.

While some applied sciences are advanced — these documents evince a deep familiarity with DNA, RNA and “ions” — the practice of medicine is exceedingly primitive, limited almost exclusively to a single herbal remedy of dubious value. All ailments appear to be treated by application of a fragrant leaf-paste called “aloe.”

We conjecture that a leading cause of death in this society is reptile bite, because the planet seems to be overrun by venomous snakes called “asps.” Another common plague is “tsetse flies.”

The people make and use common tools, particularly hoes and adzes, which are small, sharp axes most likely used in asp control.

We suspect a recent planetwide famine, possibly involving the extinction of large numbers of food animals and edible plant life. We conclude this because at the time of this transmission, the people appeared to survive on a highly limited diet consisting almost entirely of a beverage called “Nehi,” a snack foodstuff named “Oreo” and a paste called “poi.”

To take their minds off their dire straits, the people patronize the performing arts. The most important actor of all time is “Alan Alda,” followed closely by “Ed Asner,” “Bert Lahr” and “Stephen Rea.” The most revered actors of the child-bearing sex are “Talia Shire,” “Uma Thurman,” “Uta Hagen,” “Oona Chaplin” and “Theda Bara.”

For further diversion, the people also attend sporting events. By far the most popular sport is “jai alai.” A secondary sport is called “baseball”; its all-time legends are “Mel Ott,” “Enos Slaughter” and an entire family named “Alou.”

Also, people sometimes pay to watch someone named “Bobby Orr” perform something called “hockey.” Whatever his skill, it is apparently unique and noncompetitive because we detect no evidence that anyone else has ever participated in hockey.

All structures on this planet were designed by “Eero Saarinen.” The most famous musician is “Brian Eno,” and the most famous band is “Abba.” The planet’s two greatest novelists are “Erle Stanley Gardner” and “Herman Melville,” who wrote by far the most famous and influential book in the history of that world. It is titled “Omoo.”

We have not yet determined the initial location of this transmission or even from what galaxy it originated, but we feel prepared to hazard a guess, with some degree of confidence, as to the name this civilization has given its planet.

Judging from sheer ubiquity on these translated pages we think it reasonably likely that whatever its initial name, the world has by now been renamed for its greatest citizen. The planet is likely named “Yokoono.”

NCAA TOURNAMENT

he shadows were growing longer, and light was fading into dark.

But all Marcus PincheiraSandoval saw in the strengthening blackness was white.

The St. Michael’s junior, who had just turned in his basketball sneakers for baseball cleats on Monday, could only see what was coming from the hands of Cobre reliever Jordan Benfield in the Saturday gloaming. It was all he needed to see anyway.

“I saw a little white ball floating out of his hands,” Pincheira-Sandoval said. “I just tried to focus on the arm and the little white ball.”

He sent that little white ball into right-center field for the walk-off base hit that gave the Horsemen a 5-4 win in six innings over the Indians in the championship game of the Jim Pierce Memorial Tournament at Christian Brothers Athletic Complex.

The two teams tried to put in seven innings, but a 5 p.m. start prevented that from happening. So, both teams tried to finish the sixth inning as quickly as possible. It wasn’t fast enough for Cobre (4-2).

St. Michael’s (8-4) manufactured three singles, two walks, an error and a wild pitch into three championship-securing runs in the bottom of the frame to pull off the rally. Yet, Pincheira-Sandoval almost turned into the unlikely goat in his at-bat.

He failed to heed a squeeze bunt sign on the first pitch and left teammate Matt Smallwood out to dry as he was caught in a rundown between home and third.

Redemption came four pitches later when he stroked the 3-1 offering from Benfield into center field.

Or wait, was it left field? Maybe it was right? Who could tell?

“First, I felt like I hit it to the left,” Pincheira-Sandoval said. “I looked to the left side and no one was moving. I looked to the right and I saw the centerfielder [Nick Salas] saw it

wouldn’t reveal the number of entrants to the challenge. The pool was supposed to be capped at 15 million entries. It probably wouldn’t have mattered if they had let more people join.

At CBSSports.com, only 0.03 percent of entrants were still perfect after Mercer upset Duke. The final remaining unblemished entries were also ruined by the Memphis win.

A year ago, not a single person of the 11 million who entered on ESPN’s website was perfect after a first day filled with upsets. Just four got 15 out of 16 right.

This year, people lasted a little longer. After 28 games, all 11 million entries had at least one mistake.

Robertson collected 13 hits off of Berhost, which helped cut the margin to 10-9 in the fifth on Montano’s RBi single, but Marissa Archuleta was tagged out at home trying to score the tying run to quell the threat.

Lions: Teams to meet again in 2 weeks Continued from Page D-1 Several balls hit into the outfield turned into adventures. Santa Rosa peppered Monte right fielder Steven Romero with looping shots down the line, forcing long throws that did little to end the parade of baserunners.

“Tough loss with plenty of mistakes, but they’re mistakes we can correct,” said Frank Lucero, Monte del Sol’s head coach. “Getting beat is one thing, but what happened in that last inning is something we know we can improve on. That’s what we’re going to have to do.”

The Dragons (3-2) reached the finals by pounding Mesa Vista 21-2 in Friday’s opening round, then beating Wingate in Saturday morning’s semifinals, 11-1.

Santa Rosa beat Santa Fe Preparatory, 10-2, in the quarterfinals and then Questa, 11-1, in Saturday’s semis.

The teams’ distaste for one another showed as Saturday’s championship game unfolded. It reached its peak during the final inning. That frame saw several players jawing at one another, had Bartlett issued a

warning by home plate umpire Matt Martinez for taunting the Santa Rosa dugout, then had a heated exchange between the Lions coaches and Martinez when Rivas appeared to bump Santa Rosa catcher Austin Higgins during a routine popup along the first base line with two down in the bottom of the inning.

“I don’t know if we see those guys enough to call it a real good rivalry yet, but I do think it has the potential,” Lucero said.

“Those coaches are friends of mine. What I want my players to learn to do is win or lose with dignity.”

The teams will see one another again when Santa Rosa visits Fort Marcy Ballpark in two weeks.

Until then, the Dragons will have a lot to think about. They did manage to plate three runs in the bottom of the seventh and had a runner in scoring position when the game ended.

Bartlett went 4-for-5 with a triple and two RBIs. His triple came in the final frame and as he made his way to third he lifted the front of his jersey and gestured toward the Lions’ dugout as he reached the bag stand-

ing up.

Called on to relieve Rivas on the mound in the sixth inning, he never got a chance to finish after he aggravated a leg injury while delivering a pitch. He slammed his glove to the ground in frustration, forcing Lucero to put Rivas back on the hill.

“I was getting tired,” Rivas admitted. “I actually wanted [Santa Rosa] to put the ball in play instead of making their at-bats longer. I just wanted my guys to make plays and get me out of it.”

Rivas had worked four innings in the earlier win over Wingate and tossed sixplus innings against the Lions. One of the veteran leaders of the team, he was charged with the task of carrying the runner-up trophy out of the Dragons’ dugout just moments after Lucero handed the title hardware to Santa Rosa.

“One of the things about this team that’s different from last year,” Rivas said, glancing at the trophy, “is we have 10 or 11 real good players who can fill out this entire team. We don’t have any holes like we used to. We might have lost this one, but we’re a lot better than we used to be.”

Squeaks: Santa Fe High takes 7th place Continued from Page D-1 at first and then he lost it.”

It was much simpler than that.

“Our centerfielder thought it was a foul ball,” said Artie Sanchez, the Indians head coach. “So, you can’t blame a kid who can barely see. I think St. Mike’s took it from us.”

Sanchez, though, could blame a defense that was flawless for four innings, but not for six.

The Horsemen, who had the bases loaded in three of the first four innings despite collecting only one hit, finally broke through in the fifth with a pair of singles and three Cobre errors that produced two runs. Indians second baseman Justin Diaz sailed a throw to shortstop Claudio Salinas at second base into left field, which allowed Josh Castañeda to score to cut Cobre’s lead to 4-1. Isaac Olivares followed with a grounder to Diaz for what appeared to be a rally-killing double play, but Salinas tossed his relay to first base wide. It allowed Jason Romero to score to make it 4-2, and it turned momentum in St. Michael’s direction.

“We hit the ball, and we make things happen,” said David Vigil, Horsemen head coach. “Run the bases hard, and things are going to happen. It’s going to make them rush throws, and that’s huge.”

St. Michael’s tried to make those things happen through the first four innings, but to no avail. Cobre’s combination of Salas and Willie Fletcher kept the Horsemen off the

scoreboard through four innings. Salas got a bases-loaded strikeout of Chross Jaramillo in the first to end the threat, and Jaramillo suffered the same fate at the hands of Fletcher in the third.

Cobre, meanwhile, got all the timely hits early against Jaramillo, the St. Michael’s starter. Diaz had an RBI single in the second to open the scoring, then Salinas and B.J. Dominguez single in runs in the third for 3-0. Pincheira-Sandoval took over in the fourth, and after giving up an RBI double to Salas in the fourth, held the Indian scoreless the rest of the way.

He did that on the strength of one bullpen session on Monday. It was good enough to allow a walk and two hits in three

New Mexico Highlands splits doubleheader with Colorado Mesa Cody Brown tossed a complete-game five-hitter, leading the New Mexico Highlands University baseball team to a 10-1 win in the nightcap of a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference doubleheader against Colorado Mesa on Saturday in Las Vegas, N.M. The win salvaged a split against the Mavericks, the 16thranked team in NCAA Division II. Mesa won the opener 9-1.

Brown gave up a run in the top of the first, then was solid the rest of the way. He struck out three and walked one, improving his record to 3-0.

Morgan McCasland and Nick Gonzales each drove in three runs for NMHU (13-11, 10-4) while leadoff hitter Tyler Hayes went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base.

Mesa (15-5, 10-3) never trailed in the opener, scoring three times in the top of the first and four more times in the fourth, all against NMHU starter Greg Hansen (3-2). He surrendered 11 hits in six innings.

The Cowboys had nine hits in the opener, stranding eight runners.

The teams will wrap up their four-game series Sunday at Brandt Park. First pitch is scheduled for noon.

NMHU heads out on the road next week for a four-game set in Golden, Colo., against RMAC rival Colorado School of Mines. The next home series is in early April against Regis.

MEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT

THE NEW MEXICAN Sunday, March 23, 2014

Dayton stuns Syracuse to advance to Sweet 16 though Syracuse had missed all nine attempts from behind the arc against the pesky Flyers.

“The last shot was a great shot. It was the right play,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said.

“A chance to win the game. You don’t have enough time to get to the basket. I have no problem with that shot.”

Neither did the 35-year-old Miller, though he probably aged just a little bit while the ball was in the air.

“That thing was on line and he went for the win,” Miller said. “The thing that went through my head was the game at Pitt, when I saw that highlight 7,000 times when he banged the 3. I thought he was going to go to the basket. When I saw him raise up, I didn’t feel good about it. But Buffalo’s been good to us these last couple of days on the buzzer shots.”

It sure has.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Dayton coach Archie Miller almost didn’t want to look.

Syracuse star freshman point guard Tyler Ennis was open at the top of the key with 2 seconds left and Dayton 55 the Flyers holding a Syracuse 53 two-point lead. When Ennis’ attempt to win the game clanged harmlessly off the rim, Dayton had a victory it had been chasing for three decades.

“We have a good program with great tradition,” Miller said Saturday night after Dayton defeated Syracuse 55-53 in the NCAA Tournament to reach the Sweet 16 for the first time in 30 years. “Now, we have the ability to build, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Ennis had beaten Pittsburgh last month with a 40-foot shot at the buzzer, so he had the confidence to try again, even

No. 1 Florida rolls over Pittsburgh The Associated Press

ner of Sunday’s Mercer-Tennessee game in Raleigh, N.C. Isiah Taylor scored 22 points for Texas on 8-for-22 shooting. The seventh-seeded Longhorns (24-11) outrebounded the Wolverines 41-30, but got off to a slow start and never recovered.

SOUTH REGIONAL

ORLANDO, Fla. — Scottie Wilbekin scored 21 points and top-seeded Florida beat Pittsburgh 61-45 in the NCAA tournament Saturday, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the fourth consecutive year.

Patric Young added Florida 61 seven points and eight Pittsburgh 45 rebounds for the Gators, who extended their school record for consecutive wins to 28 with the victory in the South Regional.

Coming off a lackluster performance in its NCAA opener, Florida (34-2) played with considerably more energy and intensity against the Panthers (26-10).

Wilbekin and Young spearheaded the effort. The Gators were 5 of 20 from behind the arc, with at least five of those rimming in and out.

Florida advanced to the round of 16, where it will play fourth-seeded UCLA or 12th-seeded Stephen F. Austin on Thursday in Memphis, Tenn. The Bruins and Lumberjacks play Sunday in San Diego.

MIDWEST REGIONAL LOUISVILLE 66, SAINT LOUIS 51 In Orlando, Fla., Luke Hancock scored 21 points and defending national champion Louisville shrugged off a cold shooting performance to advance to the Sweet 16 for the third straight year.

The fourth-seeded Cardinals (31-5) shot under 45 percent, had 19 turnovers and only got 11 points from star Russ Smith. It didn’t matter, with the fifth-seeded Billikens (27-7) going 0 for 15 from 3-point range and struggling to take care of the ball.

Louisville moved on to face No. 1 seed Wichita State or No. 8 seed Kentucky. The unbeaten Shockers and Wildcats meet Sunday in St. Louis.

Saint Louis, which has never been to the Sweet 16, lost in the third round of the tournament for the third consecutive year.

Dwayne Evans led the Billikens with 16 points and Atlantic 10 player of the year Jordair Jett finished with 15.

MICHIGAN 79, TEXAS 65 In Milwaukee, Nik Stauskas had 17 points and eight assists to lead Michigan to the Sweet 16 for the second straight year.

Orange pressured him in the corner with 14 seconds left.

After Ennis settled for a jumper from the foul line that missed, instead of driving the lane as he had all night, Syracuse fouled Pierre and he made one free throw, giving the Orange one more golden opportunity.

C.J. Fair had 14 points on 4-of14 shooting and 10 rebounds in his final game for the Orange.

Jerami Grant had just four points and attempted only three shots before fouling out late.

Trevor Cooney, who broke out of a long slump with four 3-pointers in the second round against Western Michigan, had two points and missed all four shots he took from behind the arc.

Dayton, which improved to 11-0 when holding opponents under 60 points, led by as many as seven in the first half and extended its two-point halftime lead to six on the transition strikes the Flyers thrive on.

Ennis had a pair of court-long dashes and layups to pull the Orange to 47-46 with 2:42 left.

with red faces all around, but confident he had made the right decision as he had so many times in a standout season.

The third-seeded Orange (28-6), who finished second in their first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference, struggled all game against the swarming Dayton defense. They missed all 10 attempts from beyond the arc, while the Flyers hit seven times from long range.

It was the first time in 665 games that Syracuse failed to make a 3.

“It’s hard to digest any loss,” said Ennis, who finished with 19 points on 7-of-21 shooting.

“They did a good job defensively, and the looks we did get we didn’t capitalize.”

Dyshawn Pierre scored 14 points and Jordan Sibert, held scoreless in the first half, hit a key 3-pointer with 47.7 seconds for Dayton.

Sibert finished with 10 points and Sanford had eight, but Sibert nearly gave it away when he stepped out of bounds while the

WISCONSIN 85, OREGON 77 In Milwaukee, Ben Brust hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:07 left and second-seeded Wisconsin overcame seventh-seeded Oregon to reach the Sweet 16.

Brust’s clutch 3 from the corner gave the Badgers (28-7) the lead for good in a heavyweight fight of an NCAA tournament game.

They will play third-seeded Creighton or No. 6 seed Baylor in the regional semifinals.

Traevon Jackson followed with three free throws, but missed one with 21 seconds left to give the Ducks (24-10) one more chance to tie trailing by three.

EAST REGIONAL CONNECTICUT 77, VILLANOVA 65 In Buffalo, N.Y., Shabazz Napier scored 25 points in leading Connecticut to a win over second-seeded Villanova in the third round of the NCAA tournament.

Villanova became the highest seed to be knocked out of the tournament so far, and the Wildcats’ loss came on the heels of another upset in Buffalo. The game was played immediately after Dayton, the South Region’s 11th seed, beat third-seeded Syracuse 55-53.

Seventh-seeded Connecticut (28-8) advanced to New York City next week, when they’ll play the winner of Sunday’s thirdround game between third-seeded Iowa State and sixth-seeded North Carolina.

Continued from Page D-1 Getting to Anaheim became the unspoken goal the second the brackets were released last Sunday.

“Like Coach said, it was a two-game tournament and we wanted to get two wins,” Thames said. “That’s what we did.”

Thames, who was 9 of 19 from the field, had five assists and ended the comeback hopes of the Bison with a six-point spurt late in the second half that pushed the Aztecs’ lead to 12. He finished one shy of his career-high in points.

Dwayne Polee II was the only other San Diego State player in double figures with 15, but the Aztecs didn’t need a ton of scoring with Thames carrying the load and another defensive performance that suffocated the best shooting team in the country.

The only other time San Diego State reached the round of 16 came in 2011 when they lost to Connecticut.

“It was huge doing what we did in the regular season, to earn that four seed and now have the opportunity to play where we don’t have to worry about airplanes,” San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said.

Kory Brown led the Bison (26-7) with 13 points, but it was the struggles of leading scorer Taylor Braun that had North Dakota State trying to play catch up. Braun missed nine straight shots during one stretch. Sometimes he was guarded

by Thames. Other times it was J.J. O’Brien taking a turn on the Summit League player of the year.

The red, teary-eyed Bison weren’t ready to see this run come to an end.

“It’s only the greatest professional week of my life,” Bison coach Saul Phillips said. “I got to watch a group of guys that deserved it, who wanted it so bad and made it a priority in their life and did everything I asked them to do.”

Fisher knew the challenge of trying to fluster an offense that worked with precision all season. The prep by Fisher and his staff went beyond just watching film. Fisher reached out to contemporaries that knew about the Bison, even current Nebraska coach and former North Dakota State coach Tim Miles.

MSU: Will face Virginia or Memphis Continued from Page D-1 day night. The Spartans, fully alert, used a flurry of their own to go on an 11-1 run, push back Harvard and escape with an 80-73 victory.

Michigan State (28-8) next plays the winner of Sunday’s game between top-seeded Virginia and eighth-seeded Memphis.

Branden Dawson, who had averaged 10.4 points per game, scored 26, including 20 in the first half, and Gary Harris added 18 points. Wesley Saunders led Harvard (27-5) with 22 points.

Michigan State started quickly against Harvard, scoring the first 5 points on the way to a 45-33 halftime lead, and appeared headed to an easy victory through the early minutes of the second half.

Then Harvard’s Steve Moundou-Missi followed a dunk with a short jumper and then a more emphatic dunk, sending jolts of energy through a crowd that began putting its vocal weight behind the Crimson. Moundou-Missi tipped in another basket moments later, and Michigan State’s lead was down to 55-53.

When Harvard’s Laurent Rivard drained a 3-pointer from the right corner with 7 minutes 12 seconds left, a forgettable game turned into a potential epic.

Michigan State is no stranger to tournament drama, however. Before Harvard could score again, Travis Trice hit a 3-pointer, Adreian Payne made two free throws, and Harris made a 3-pointer. The Spartans had regained control, and they slipped through the final minutes having gained a worthy tournament experience and a newfound admiration for Harvard.

Michigan State was ranked first nationally early in the season and sped to an 18-1 record, but the team unraveled for several weeks with a string of near-simultaneous injuries to key players. The Spartans went 5-7 to end the regular season but, once healthy, blew through Northwestern, Wisconsin and Michigan to capture the Big Ten Conference tournament title.

Their record left them with a fourth seed, but their talent made them a championship contender. They opened the tournament on Thursday by blowing past 13th-seeded Delaware. In one stretch, Payne outscored the Blue Hens, 12-0, by himself.

No. 1 Lady Vols shut down Northwestern St. Height advantage helps Tennessee outrebound No. 16 Lady Demons 47-27

By Steve Megargee The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Northwestern State capped a season full of surprises by threatening to produce the biggest stunner of all.

The Lady Tenn.

70 Demons can only wonder what might NW St. 46 have resulted if they’d hit a few more open shots.

Seeking to become only the second No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, Northwestern State was tied with Tennessee early in the second half before the Lady Vols pulled away for an opening-round 70-46 victory.

“We didn’t try to focus on what other people thought was a mismatch,” Northwestern State forward Trudy Armstead said. “We just tried to come out and compete as much as possible.”

The Lady Vols (28-5) won despite scoring just four points and making no baskets in the last eight minutes of the first half. Northwestern State (21-12) also struggled to shoot the ball and went just 3 of 19 from 3-point range.

Northwestern State had to deliver from the perimeter to have any chance at pulling the upset because of Tennessee’s prohibitive size advantage. Tennessee outrebounded Northwestern

State 47-27.

“I told them last night we weren’t going to grow six inches overnight,”

Northwestern State co-coach Brooke Stoehr said.

Tennessee withstood an illness to

head coach Holly Warlick, who said she came down with a stomach illness at about 2 a.m. Warlick said she initially feared she might not even be able to coach Saturday, but she made it to the game after undergoing IV treatments.

Warlick missed the team’s morning shootaround. She joined her team for the game and sat on an orange stool during the first half while assistant coach Kyra Elzy stood and shouted instructions. Warlick stood throughout the second half and was much more animated as Tennessee gradually pulled away for its 14th win in its last 15 games.

“That was my choice, to sit in the first half,” Warlick said. “I was still a little lightheaded. And then, I just couldn’t sit there any longer.”

Northwestern State (21-13), trying to become the first No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed since Harvard stunned Stanford in 1998, forced a 22-22 tie early in the second half before the Lady Vols (28-5) scored 12 straight points to seize control.

After shooting just 22.6 percent (7 of 31) in the first half, Tennessee shot 58.1 percent (18 of 31) the rest of the way.

Isabelle Harrison, Meighan Simmons and Mercedes Russell each scored 12 points for Tennessee. Armstead had 12 points and Beatrice Attura had 11 for Northwestern State.

Tennessee, the only team to reach the tournament every year since the NCAA started running the event in 1982, improved its record in NCAA tournament home games to 53-0.

After making five of their first six

shots to grab an 11-2 lead, the Lady Vols went 2 of 25 the rest of the first half and were clinging to a 22-20 lead at the intermission. Northwestern State stayed close despite shooting 8 of 28 in the first half.

“I went in the locker room, I’ll be honest with you, and told them, ‘Guys, I’m not happy being down two. You should be up five,’ ” Stoehr said. “We felt like we got some great looks.”

Northwestern State never led Saturday, but the Lady Demons did tie the game 22-22 with 18:43 left on a basket

by Janelle Perez, a guard generously listed as 5-foot-2. Stoehr said Perez actually is closer to 4-11. Her lack of height signified the long odds Northwestern State was facing against one of the nation’s most storied programs.

“We have three kids in our starting lineup who did not have a single other Division I offer other than us,” Stoehr said. “They just know their roles and compete very hard for us.”

Northwestern State was making its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007. The Lady Demons had gone 12-18 last season — its first under Brooke and Scott Stoehr — and were 6-23 two years ago.

Northwestern State won the Southland Conference tournament as the No. 4 seed after beating both Lamar and Stephen F. Austin, who shared the Southland’s regular-season title.

Stoehr choked back tears as she described what this game meant to Northwestern State’s program.

“When you believe in something and you buy into it, you can do a lot of good things,” Stoehr said.

ROUND 1 ROUNDUP

Late 3-pointer secures DePaul’s win over Oklahoma The Associated Press LINCOLN REGIONAL

DURHAM, N.C. — Megan Rogowski scored 24 points and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 40.5 seconds left to help DePaul beat Oklahoma 104-100 on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA tournament in the Lincoln Regional.

Chanise Jenkins added 21 points and Brittany Hrynko had 19 for the seventh-seeded Blue Demons (28-6). They blew a 19-point lead with under 16 minutes left, then rallied for a wild win.

They will play second-seeded Duke (28-6) on Monday night in the second round of the Lincoln Regional.

Aaryn Ellenberg scored 36 points and seven 3s for the 10th-seeded Sooners (18-15), who set a tournament record for most points by a losing team in a regulation game. The 204 combined points also made it the highest scoring regulation game in the history of the NCAA women’s tournament.

DUKE 87, WINTHROP 45 In Durham, N.C., Tricia Liston scored 20 points and Duke routed Winthrop.

Freshman Oderah Chidom added 17 points for the secondseeded Blue Devils (28-6).

They didn’t miss a beat in their first game in nearly two weeks: They never trailed, shot 54 percent and led by double figures for the final 33½ minutes in winning their 21st straight NCAA Tournament opener.

In giving the 15th-seeded Eagles (24-9) their worst loss of the season by far, Duke built a 49-23 rebounding advantage and held them to 27 percent shooting — 21 percent in the decisive first half — to advance in the Lincoln Regional bracket.

NEBRASKA 75, FRESNO STATE 55 In Los Angeles, Jordan Hooper had 23 points and 11 rebounds, and fourth-seeded Nebraska defeated Fresno State.

Emily Cady added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Cornhuskers (26-6), the Big Ten tournament champions who have won 13 of 14 games.

Taylor Thompson was the only player in double figures with 14 points for the 13th-seeded Bulldogs (22-11). They closed within four points early in the second half, but never got any closer in falling to 0-7 in the NCAA Tourney. The Mountain West tourney champions had their eight-game winning streak snapped.

The Huskers advanced to play either No. 5 seed North Carolina State or 12th-seeded BYU in Monday’s second round at Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus.

BYU 72, N.C. STATE 57 In Los Angeles, Lexi Eaton scored 25 points, Jennifer Ham-

The Cougars (27-6) will face fourth-seeded Nebraska in the second round on Monday at Pauley Pavilion on UCLA’s campus.

Hamson, the West Coast Conference Player of the Year, finished with 12 points and tied her career-highs with 19 rebounds and nine blocks.

Kylie Maeda added 14 points and Morgan Bradley has 13 for BYU, which picked up its 11th win in 12 games and its first tournament win since 2006.

Miah Spencer scored 16 points to lead the Wolfpack (25-8), who lost in the first round for the fourth time in their last five tournament appearances.

NOTRE DAME REGIONAL NOTRE DAME 93, ROBERT MORRIS 42 In Toledo, Ohio, Michaela Mabrey scored 11 of her 16 points in the first half, and topseeded Notre Dame breezed to a victory in its NCAA Tournament opener against 16th-seeded Robert Morris.

Jewell Loyd and Natalie Achonwa added 15 points each for the unbeaten Fighting Irish, who are trying for their fourth straight Final Four appearance.

Notre Dame (33-0) is a No. 1 seed for the third straight season.

The Irish will take on ninthseeded Arizona State in the second round Monday.

ARIZONA STATE 69, VANDERBILT 61 In Toledo, Ohio, Katie Hempen scored 16 points, and ninthseeded Arizona State handed eighth-seeded Vanderbilt a rare first-round loss in the NCAA Tournament, holding off the Commodores.

The Sun Devils (23-9) shot 62 percent to win this matchup between two teams who struggled coming into this tournament. Arizona State had lost three in a row and six of eight.

Vanderbilt’s loss Saturday was its fifth straight and 10th in 12 games.

Marqu’es Webb scored 18 points for the Commodores (18-13), overpowering Arizona State inside, and senior star Christina Foggie added 16.

Leading 40-36 with 12:46 remaining, Sykes drove to the basket before grabbing her leg and screaming. The Orange stayed strong without their top scorer, using a 52-36 rebounding edge to stretch the lead to 10 with 2:33 left before withstanding a late Chattanooga rally featuring three 3-pointers from Taylor Hall.

Syracuse (23-9) hit 24 of 31 free throws to seal the victory that also snapped Chattanooga’s 25-game winning streak.

Shakeya Leary made 7 of 8 from the line to finish with 15 points.

Brianna Butler was just 2 of 11 from the floor but hit 9 of 10 free throws for 13 points.

PURDUE 84, AKRON 55 In West Lafayette, Ind., Whitney Bays scored 20 points and Courtney Moses added 12 as Purdue routed Akron.

It proved to be a milestone day for the Boilermakers (22-8).

Moses tied the school’s career record for 3s. She made two, giving her 238 — the same total Katie Gearlds had during her All-American career. The win also gave coach Sharon Versyp her 300th career win, and it set up a Monday night showdown between the fourth-seeded Boilermakers, who have won 11 of 13, and fifth-seeded Oklahoma State.

The Cowgirls advanced with a 61-60 overtime win over 12thseeded Florida Gulf Coast.

OKLAHOMA STATE 61, FLORIDA GULF COAST 60 (OT) In West Lafayette, Ind., Tiffany Bias’ driving layup with 41 seconds remaining in overtime lifted No. 5 seed Oklahoma State to a victory over No. 12 seed Florida Gulf Coast.

The Cowgirls (24-8) will play either No. 4 seed Purdue or 13th-seeded Akron in the second round on Monday night.

The teams traded the lead in OT before Bias’ layup. Florida Gulf Coast (26-8) missed a shot with that would have given the Eagles the lead. Oklahoma State was fouled with 3 seconds left, but Liz Donohoe missed the free throw. Florida Gulf Coast had a chance, but Brittney Martin stole the inbounds pass with a second left. She too was fouled and missed her free throw giving the Eagles one final chance, but they couldn’t get a shot off.

There were eight ties and nine lead changes in the second half, including lead changing three times in the final 32 seconds.

Rooney had 17 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for Fordham (25-8), the Atlantic 10 tournament champ playing in its first NCAA tourney in 20 years.

LOUISVILLE REGIONAL ST. JOHN’S 71, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 68 In Knoxville, Tenn., Briana Brown sank a 3-pointer with four-tenths of a second left to give No. 8 seed St. John’s a victory over No. 9 seed Southern California.

Southern California guard Brianna Barrett’s desperation shot at the buzzer from at least 35 feet away bounced off the backboard and front rim.

The Cardinal (30-3), seeded No. 2 in the regional they’ll host next weekend, advanced to a Monday game against No. 10 Florida State.

Stanford kept all the Coyotes under wraps except Australian guard Nicole Seekamp, who made 9 of 13 shots and finished with 22 points. The loss by the Summit League’s Coyotes (19-14) dropped No. 15 seeds to 0-82 all-time in first-round games.

FLORIDA STATE 55, IOWA STATE 44 In Ames, Iowa, Natasha Howard had her school-record 15th double-double of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds, and 10th-seeded Florida State defeated cold-shooting Iowa State.

The Seminoles (21-11) won their 11th straight tournament opener since 1991, prevailing in a game in which turnovers outnumbered field goals 44-36.

They’ll play No. 2 seeded Stanford or No. 15 South Dakota on Monday night.

Cheetah Delgado had 10 points and six assists and Ivey Slaughter grabbed 13 rebounds for the Seminoles.

Hallie Christofferson scored 13 points, Brynn Williamson added 12 on four 3-pointers, and Jadda Buckey had 10 for the Cyclones.

A: Two seasons: spring and summer

Newsmakers Kim Kardashian, Kanye West cover ‘Vogue’ NEW YORK — Kanye West’s campaign to get fiancée Kim Kardashian on the cover of Vogue magazine has finally paid off. They appear in a photo by Annie Leibovitz on the April issue.

The photo shows Kardashian wearing a white wedding-style dress with West’s arms around her. She posted it on her official Twitter and Instagram accounts saying: “This is such a dream come true!!!”

West wrote “Thank you voguemagazine” on his Twitter account.

West has said he believed Kardashian is cover-worthy. In a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest last October, he said “there’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the

cover of Vogue.” However, in the magazine, which hits stands March 31, Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour told readers it was the magazine’s idea to feature Kardashian, and the decision was based on the reality starlet’s dominance — and was not influenced by her famous boyfriend.

“You may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue’s cover,” Wintour wrote. “He did nothing of the sort. The gossip might make for better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true.”

Firm downplays L’Wren Scott’s company issues NEW YORK — A public relations firm that focuses on the fashion and beauty

industries is denying reports that fashion designer L’Wren Scott’s company was on the verge of shutting down.

The 49-year-old longtime girlfriend of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger was found dead in her Manhattan apartment Monday.

Authorities say she committed suicide.

New York-based PR Consulting says in a statement Friday that Scott was considering a restructure of her global business, LS Fashion Ltd. The firm says that while some areas of the business had not yet reached their potential, other parts were successful. It says the long-term prospects for the business were encouraging. Accounts filed by LS Fashion Ltd. in London show the company had liabilities that exceeded assets by $5.9 million as of Dec. 31, 2012.

‘Walking with Dinosaurs’ returns to North America

By Mark Kennedy The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The dinosaurs are ready to roar across America again — but they’re sporting a new look.

Walking with Dinosaurs, the Arena Spectacular is coming back to the U.S. and Canada — its first visit to North America since its inaugural 2007 tour — and many of its lifelike puppets will be wearing downy feathers.

“We’ve decided to bring them up to date,” said the show’s self-described “resident dino geek” Philip Millar.

“I’ve been going on about feathers for some years now.

And now, we’ve finally taken the leap, and we’re applying the feathers to the dinosaurs we’re fairly confident had feathers.”

Recent discoveries by paleontologist point to the possibility that a large number of nonavian dinosaurs had feathers or something similar — paleontologists call it “dinofuzz” — as part of their body covering, blurring the distinction between dinosaurlike birds and birdlike dinosaurs.

The show, based on an award-winning BBC Television series, travels 200 million years from Triassic to the Jurassic and Cretaceous

periods, features 20 life-size dinosaurs from 10 species, including a mother Tyrannosaurus Rex and her baby, both of which will now have feathers.

Miller said the new feathered creatures may be a shock to some in the audience. He notes that the ferocious T-rex is more closely related in time and anatomy to a sparrow than a Stegosaurs.

“People’s popular ideas tend not to keep up with the science, so you’ll find some people tend to draw T-Rexes at a 45-degree angle or they talk about Brontosaurs in a swamp and things like that. The science has moved on.”

The new tour kicks off in Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena from July 9-13, then hits The Barclay’s Center in New York City from July 16-20, and then The Prudential Center in New Jersey from July 23-27.

Other stops are planned for Los Angeles, Kansas City, Mo., Montreal, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Milwaukee.

The largest dinosaur in the show is the 36-foot tall, 56-foot long Brachiosaurus. It takes three people to operate the biggest puppets and each large one weighs 1.6 tons, the weight of a standard family car.

A performer in a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex costume roams Times Square on Thursday in New York to promote the Walking with Dinosaurs, the Arena Spectacular.

How to keep your walls clean

Farm-to-table living ‘Agrihoods’ — housing developments with central farms — take root

By Lisa A. Flam The Associated Press

Walls can get dirty before you know it — from a splatter of spaghetti dinner to the crayon artistry of a roaming toddler to fingers simply reaching for a light switch.

It’s easy to pass by walls and woodwork every day without a second glance, but spring-cleaning season is a great time to give them the attention they deserve.

Like many housekeeping tasks, regular cleaning can help avoid bigger cleanup work later on.

“It doesn’t have to be as difficult of a job as it sounds,” said Amy Panos, senior editor at Better Homes and Gardens.

Walls tend to get dirtiest around light switches and door knobs.

“Even if a hand looks clean, it still has a little dirt and oils that over time build up and eventually make that area of the wall dirty,” Panos said.

Walls also get marked up from accidental kicks or the brush of a bag near the baseboards. Parents know how toddlers’ hands often find their way to walls, either with filthy fingers or with crayons or markers.

These fingerprints and other blemishes are best tackled right away. “The sooner you can get to a mark that is noticeable, the easier it will be” to clean, said Sharon Grech, a color and design expert for Benjamin Moore.

People are wary of cleaning or washing painted surfaces because they fear the process will remove the paint. But Grech said the technology has improved over the last decade, and paints now are more stain-resistant and durable for cleaning.

Still, it’s important to use the right products.

To remove everyday marks, Grech suggested using a clean cellulose sponge with a little warm water.

“Just give it a good rub,” she said.

“Wait for it to dry and see if it’s clean.”

If the dirt is still evident, repeat the process using a dab of dish detergent and wipe the area dry with a clean sponge, rag or paper towel.

“Warm water does miracles with a sponge,” Grech said. “You want to avoid using regular household cleaners that have ammonia and other products in them” because they can change the sheen of the paint.

Panos likes the ease of a foam eraser pad, like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, though be sure to test it first in an inconspicuous area to make sure it won’t remove the color or finish. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is approved by the manufacturer for use on most paints, including flat and semi-gloss paint.

“They’re quite incredible,” Panos said. “They take care of a lot.”

Don’t forget doorways and trim, often coated in easy-to-wipe paints but in light colors like white and cream that make marks especially visible.

Cleaning those areas can instantly make the room seem brighter.

The New York Times

GILBERT, Ariz. n many American suburbs, outward signs of life are limited to the blue glow of television screens flickering behind energyefficient windows. But in a subdivision of this bedroom community outside Phoenix, amid precision-cut lawns and Craftsman-style homes, lambs caper in common green areas, chickens scratch in a citrus grove and residents roam rows of heirloom vegetables to see what might be good for dinner.

The neighborhood is called Agritopia, and it’s one of a growing number of so-called agrihoods, residential developments where a working farm is the central feature, in the same way that other communities may cluster around a golf course, pool or fitness center. The real estate bust in 2008 halted new construction, but with the recovery, developers are again breaking ground on farm-focused tracts. At least a dozen projects across the country are thriving, enlisting thousands of homebuyers who crave access to open space, verdant fields and fresh food.

“I hear from developers all the time about this,” said Ed McMahon, a senior fellow for sustainable development at the Urban Land Institute, a nonprofit real estate research group in Washington, D.C. “They’ve figured out that unlike a golf course, which costs millions to build and millions to maintain, they can provide green space that actually earns a profit.” Not to mention a potential tax break for preserving agricultural land.

Sixteen of Agritopia’s 160 acres are certified organic farmland, with row crops (artichokes to zucchini), fruit trees (citrus, nectarine, peach, apple, olive and date) and livestock (chickens and sheep). Fences gripped by grapevines and blackberry bushes separate the farm from the community’s 452 single-family homes, each with

a wide front porch and sidewalks close enough to encourage conversation. A 117-unit assistedand independent-living center is set to open this summer.

The hub of neighborhood life is a small square overlooking the farm, with a coffeehouse, farmto-table restaurant and honor-system farm stand.

The square is also where residents line up on Wednesday evenings to claim their bulging boxes of just-harvested produce, eggs and honey, which come with a $100-a-month membership in the community-supported agriculture, or CSA, program. Neighbors trade recipes and gossip, and on the way home can pick up dinner from one of a few food trucks stocked by the farm.

“Wednesday is the highlight of my week,” said Ben Wyffels, an engineer for Intel who moved

here with his wife and two sons two years ago from another Phoenix suburb, attracted by the farm and the community’s cohesiveness. “To be able to walk down the street with my kids and get fresh, healthy food is amazing,” he said, and has helped steer his family toward kale and carrots and away from chicken nuggets and hot dogs.

This way of life does not come at a premium, either. Wyffels, like residents of other agrihoods, said his home cost no more than similar houses in the area. And because the Agritopia farm is self-sustaining, as farms are in many of these developments, no fees are charged to support it, other than the cost of buying produce at the

HOME SALE ADVICE

Freshen up the look of that kitchen pass-through

By Tim McKeough The New York Times

Question: My kitchen has a passthrough that looks out of date. How can I improve it?

Answer: Although a small passthrough, or opening in the wall for handing dishes in and out of the kitchen, was once a popular feature, it

is rarely coveted now.

“If it’s one of those hole-in-the-wall pass-throughs, it automatically looks dated,” said Barbara Kaufmann, an architect and real estate sales representative at Coldwell Banker Bellmarc in Manhattan. “And the smaller the pass-through, the more dated it looks.”

The best solution, she said, is to expand the hole as much as possible

by cutting away the wall.

“The taller you can make the opening, the better,” Kaufman said. “If you can take it all the way up to the ceiling, that’s best, because then the two spaces will feel like one big room.”

And at the bottom of the passthrough, try to bring the opening down to the height of the kitchen counters. Doing so will probably

Customers wait at Agritopia’s Farm Stand market, which overlooks the fields and is the hub of the Gilbert, Ariz., farm-totable neighborhood. PHOTOS BY LAURA SEGALL/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Farm: Developments survive downturn Continued from Page E-1 farm stand or joining the CSA. Agritopia was among the first agrihoods — like Serenbe in Chattahoochee Hills, Ga.; Prairie Crossing in Grayslake, Ill.; South Village in South Burlington, Vt.; and Hidden Springs in Boise, Idaho — established just as the real estate market collapsed.

They have emerged intact, with property values appreciating and for-sale signs rare.

At Serenbe, all 152 homes are occupied, and its three restaurants draw tourists from surrounding states. Builders are adding 10 custom homes, with plans to break ground on at least another 20 by year-end.

The 7-acre organic farm, soon to expand to 25 acres, lured Vikki Baird, a fundraising consultant, who moved to Serenbe last summer from the affluent Buckhead neighborhood in Atlanta. She had divorced, and said she was looking for a “healthy place” to settle. “You walk down the street, open your bag and say, ‘Give me what’s fresh this week,’ ” Baird said.

Newer developments include Willowsford in Ashburn, Va., which opened in 2011 and was named the National Association of Homebuilders’ 2013 suburban Community of the Year, largely because of its 30-acre farm and a culinary consultant who regularly teaches classes in how to prepare whatever is in season. The Kukui’ula community in Kauai, Hawaii, opened in 2012 and has a 10-acre farm in addition to a clubhouse, spa and golf course.

“As a developer it’s been humbling that such a simple thing and such an inexpensive thing is the most loved amenity,” said Brent Herrington, who oversaw the building of Kukui’ula for the developer DMB Associates. “We spend $100 million on a clubhouse, but residents, first day on the island, they go to the farm to get flowers, fruits and vegetables.”

Herrington regularly fields calls from other developers who want to incorporate farms into their housing projects. At least a dozen new agrihoods are underway or have secured financing, including Bucking Horse in Fort Collins, Colo.; Skokomish Farms in Union, Wash.; Harvest in Northlake, Texas; Rancho Mission Viejo in Orange County, Calif.; and Prairie Commons in South Olathe, Kan. Their success or failure may depend

on hiring the right farmer. Agritopia went through four before finding the right one.

“This type of farming is hard and requires an incredible ability to multitask,” said Joseph E. Johnston, the developer and a resident of Agritopia, which sits on what was once his family’s farm. “I’m not sure most developers have the patience to really see it through and make it work.”

Though Johnston’s father planted four kinds of commodity crops, like cotton and corn, a community farmer must plant a vast variety of highly perishable, organic (or at least not chemically treated) crops, then market them to residents and sell the excess at farmers’ markets and to local chefs. Agritopia sells to 20 highly regarded chefs, including Charleen Badman (aka the “Vegetable Whisperer”) of the restaurant FnB and Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco.

“You have to be an excellent grower but also good at customer relations, business projections and labor controls,” Johnston said. “There’s no manual or anyone at the county extension service to tell you how to do this.”

For guidance, many developers are turning to suburban farm consultants like Agriburbia in Golden, Colo., and Farmer D Organics in Atlanta, which assist in choosing farm sites, building the requisite infrastructure and hiring farmers who work for salary or in exchange for housing and proceeds of whatever they harvest.

“The interest is so great, we’re kind of terrified trying to catch up with all the calls,” said Quint Redmond, Agriburbia’s chief executive. In addition to developers, he hears from homeowners’ associations and golf course operators who want to transform their costly-to-maintain green spaces into revenue-generating farms.

Driving the demand, he said, are the local-food movement and the aspirations of many Americans to be gentlemen (or gentlewomen) farmers. “Everybody wants to be Thomas Jefferson these days,” he said.

Take L.B. Kregenow, a lawyer who with her husband, David, a doctor, has contracted to build a home in the Skokomish Farms community southwest of Seattle.

“I’m a foodie and interested in animal husbandry and cultivating my own wasabi and mushrooms,” Kregenow said. But she also likes to travel, which she said makes living in an agrihood ideal. “For me, the serious downside of farming is doing it on your own means, doing it 365 days a year,” she said. “But in this scheme we will have a farm without all the responsibility.”

I then mixed

the sand in the paint and laid it on the ceiling, where the seven uneven, gritty patches with not-quite-matching paint stuck out like little sore thumbs.

This time around, my panelists suggested using something called Roll-ATex Sand Texture Additive. Go figure.

But before I could use the magic sand, I had to get my ceiling smooth and straight.

The right tools are crucial. A sixinch putty knife works fine for most jobs, like the hole behind my couch.

But if you have long cracks or seams like mine, my panelists said to buy a 10-inch knife and a 12-inch knife, along with a so-called “mud pan” for holding and scooping the joint compound.

Joint compound is like cement, except you can buy a premixed type or a powdered type that you mix with water. The powdered type dries more quickly and it shrinks less when it dries, so it’s less susceptible to cracking. But it can be tricky to mix to the right consistency, and you must work quickly with each batch before it hardens.

The powdered varieties can also become hot when mixed, and my bag of compound included some hair-raising warnings, so read them carefully before buying.

Kiss recommended Sheetrock Easy Sand 45 compound, which sets within 30 to 80 minutes and gives users roughly 20 minutes of working time per batch.

It’s also relatively easy to sand, which is important for novices who need more sanding to create a smooth surface.

Even if you choose the premixed variety, though, my panelists said to

If you grab the brass ring of stupidity often enough you get some sort of prize, right? add water and stir until the consistency is like creamy peanut butter.

Before mixing, cover holes with selfadhesive mesh drywall tape, which reinforces the joint compound and prevents sagging, and is widely used by people who don’t find their supplies by scavenging at a beach. (Kiss said he preferred paper drywall tape to the mesh type.)

On the first pass, fill all holes without laying on too thick a layer. This layer will sit higher than the surface of the drywall, and the only way to conceal this high point is with an extremely gradual taper. The wider the succeeding layers are, the easier it is to make the taper less noticeable.

I worked slowly enough over two days that the surface looked smooth and even. The tricky part was done.

Now for the far trickier part: matching the texture and color of the repaired area to the existing ceiling, which was coated before we bought the house 14 years ago. On this score, I failed spectacularly.

At my panelists’ urging, I practiced painting on a spare sheet of drywall

until I got a sandy consistency and pattern that looked about right. I tried two options: a white pretextured ceiling paint, and a white ceiling paint with sand additive. The pretextured paint looked fine on a 3-inch-by-10-inch piece of loose drywall.

What I didn’t consider was that this piece of drywall was too small to offer me a good idea of how it would look on a far bigger surface. So when I painted it on the ceiling, the texture was noticeably thicker than the surrounding area.

Moreover, the paint had too much gray in it. But whatever. I wore out my shoulder sanding it down and tried covering it with my own mix. The texture looked better but it, too, looked gray against the ceiling.

That would lighten up after drying because all white ceiling paint must be the same color, right? And our home’s previous owners surely used the magic universal white ceiling paint, right?

And if you grab the brass ring of stupidity often enough you get some sort of prize, right?

By the time everything dried, I had laid on enough paint to leave myself one realistic option: prep and coat the roughly 700 square feet of contiguous ceiling with one brand of white ceiling paint to get it all the same color. Next time I’ll buy 10 samples of white ceiling paint and dab them all on the ceiling until I find the one that will save me an entire day of painting.

At least I saved $500 on the drywall repair, and I learned a few things. Was it worth it? If my shoulders ever stop aching, maybe.
