Mayoral hopeful loses spot on ballot Candidate Michael D’Anna only one in municipal contests to fall short on signatures after purge

Michael D’Anna appeared recently in a YouTube video posted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3999. Of 298 signatures he collected, 219 were purged, right. D’Anna said Monday he has subsequently ‘suspended’ all campaign plans.

ichael D’Anna, who had aspired to become the city’s next mayor, said that his trust that the people who signed his nominating petitions were qualified electors cost him a spot on the March ballot.

D’Anna, a Motel 6 night auditor, is the only candidate in either the mayor’s race or council contest who failed to the collect the 265 voter signatures required to get his name on the ballot.

D’Anna collected 298 signatures, but the City Clerk’s Office purged 219 of them. Only 79 were deemed valid.

D’Anna initially wanted a “recount” and a detailed explanation from City Clerk Yolanda Vigil. But he said Monday he had not heard back from Vigil and had “suspended” any more campaign plans.

“I plan on continuing as a citizen to be a voice of truth and help for the needy,” he said in an email. “I may

even consider a 2016 election run, as our nation is heading for disaster if leadership doesn’t change soon.”

“I thought it was absurd that 75, 80 percent of my signatures handed in would be either not registered voters or registered in the county, especially when I personally asked over half of those people face-to-face if they were registered in Santa Fe,” D’Anna said. “When they said yes, I assumed, ‘Hey, these people should know what they’re talking about.’

They were mature adults.”

Unlike other candidates, D’Anna didn’t compare the signatures he collected against the voter rolls to verify they were valid before submitting them.

“Why didn’t I do that? I’ll tell you why. My whole campaign has been based on trust,” he said.

“You’ve people running for office who don’t even trust the people that they want to represent. If you really narrow it down, that’s the end result. I don’t think that way. I think

KABUL, Afghanistan —Efforts by the United States and Afghanistan to finalize a long-term security arrangement appeared on the brink of collapse Monday as Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a new set of demands, and the Obama administration said it would be forced to begin

planning for a complete withdrawal of all U.S. forces at the end of 2014.

In a two-hour meeting here, Susan Rice, President Barack Obama’s top national security adviser, told Karzai that if he failed to sign the bilateral security agreement by the end of this year, the United States would have “no choice” but withdrawal, according to a statement by the National Security Council in Washington.

Karzai told Rice that he would sign only after the U.S. helps his government begin peace talks with the Taliban and agrees to release all 17 Afghan citizens being held in the Guantánamo Bay detention center in

Cuba, according to Afghan and U.S. officials.

In addition to those new demands, the Afghan leader also reiterated that he will not sign if “another [U.S.] soldier steps foot into an Afghan home,” Karzai spokesman Aimal Faizi said.

The United States has already promised to show “restraint” in so-called “home entries” by U.S. troops and to carry them out only in conjunction with Afghan troops, but the tactic remains a principal part of U.S. operations against insurgents.

Martinez’s hold on capital projects disputed

By Barry Massey The Associated Press

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration said Monday it will continue withholding money for some legislatively approved capital improvement projects, although the attorney general’s office has concluded the governor can’t unilaterally do that.

Finance and Administration Secretary Tom Clifford said the Martinez administration disagreed with a nonbinding legal opinion issued by Attorney General Gary King’s office.

Clifford said the administration will continue requiring local governments, school districts and others to have a current audit before state money is released for a project.

The administration implemented the policy in May with an executive order and later suspended more than $13 million for 122 capital projects, including $150,000 to build and equip an animal shelter in Truth or Consequences. The administration on Monday was unable to provide an updated list of projects that remain on hold.

Next, he concentrated on meeting business owners, including by visiting the malls.

New demands compromise Afghan security agreement U.S. threatens complete withdrawal of troops if Karzai doesn’t sign deal

But they were unable to answer the question everyone has been asking since the tragedy: Why?

Karzai that the Obama administration was not bluffing about a complete withdrawal, it did not appear to work. Instead, Karzai doubled down on the position he staked out last Thursday, when he shocked both U.S. officials and an called to approve the deal by saying that he would not sign it until his growing list of demands was met.

The agreement, completed last week after yearlong negotiations, outlines the conditions for a followon presence of U.S. troops to train and advise the Afghan military,

Other people’s children As holidays approach, some help with dealing with the little ones

By Leanne Italie The Associated Press

NEW YORK e’s the toddler who always bites. She’s the 6-year-old drama queen prone to “it’s mine” fits and hair-pulling. The problem, for you anyway, is they belong to your best friend, your neighbor or your exceedingly lenient big sister.

With the holidays comes togetherness, sometimes thrust upon us.

And with togetherness, especially the obligatory kind, comes major stress — for you and your kids. But friction over the offspring of loved ones strikes all year-round, leading the grown-ups to ponder whether their adult relationships are worth it.

Julie Klam, a Manhattan mom and author of the new book Friendkeeping, believes middle ground is possible.

“Do the best you can to see them without their children, but when they are around, take the anthropologist’s point of view: ‘Hmm, that’s interesting that the kid is standing on a table throwing cheese at the wall,’ instead of getting wound up in it,” she said.

Looking for the worst in other people’s kids, and by association other people’s parenting prowess, is a road to nowhere, which may be where you land when things go dangerously wrong. But seriously troubled is different than the dayto-day grind of ill-mannered, badtempered kids and their parents who stand around and let it happen, by design or otherwise.

“If you’re in your head keeping score of how rude they are, or whatever the things are that happen, it makes it much worse,” said

Klam, who has a 10-year-old daughter. Klam found herself putting distance between her and a mom friend when the kids were about 18 months old.

“She just never limited her kid’s physical thing, and it was a lot of the kind parenting of ‘Use your words,’ and the kid was flinging books really hard at my kid. My way is pick ’em up and take ’em out of there. We could not hang out with the kids together at all.”

Deciding when to cut and run for the sake of your own sanity and the well-being of your children obviously depends on how deep the adult friendships go or how much the kin ties matter. And sometimes, it’s not easy making a clean break even with the merest of mommy acquaintances because of proximity. They’re in the park, at the play group, live next door.

Either way, before you take the fatal step of severing ties, “Stop and try to figure out how much of this has to do with you and how much has to do with them,” Klam suggested.

And keep in mind, she urged, that a seemingly out-of-control 3 year old may mature into an angelic 8 year old.

Anastasia Gavalas, a family coach, educational consultant and

mom of five in Bridgehampton, dares cross the line some parents will not trod upon: disciplining other people’s children.

Her’s is the big, fun house with the pool, the spacious backyard and the recreational basement. She gets a lot of young visitors, including two tween boys — one a relative and one a friend — who were instrumental in destroying her $3,000 leather couch during a party about a year ago.

“To me it wasn’t about yelling and saying what did you do to my couch,” she said. “It was more about if you are going to come here you need to respect my things and that’s it, whether you’re 5 years old or 15 years old or 50 years old, so it was more about a teaching opportunity.”

Among her parent-clients, broken ties due to the kids bubble up frequently: “I hear it a lot. I hear the, ‘My sister told me that my child isn’t smart so I’m not talking to her. My friend told me that my son is a brat so I’m not hanging out with her anymore.’ ” Leslie Sexer, director of clinical and outreach services for Family Centers, a nonprofit provider of counseling and other services in Fairfield County, Conn., said holiday gatherings unravel the most stoic adults, so take that into consideration with kids.

“If you feel that you must step in to correct a behavior, be helpful and kind and do not shame, criticize or judge,” she said.

Keep expectations reasonable.

“You are not living in a Norman Rockwell painting,” Sexer said.

“Life is messy, and your gathering is temporary.”

Gavalis said some parents are giddy that she’s willing to step in when their kids misbehave, “which I think is part of the problem because they need to take the responsibility instead of, ‘Can you help me? Can you fix it?’ ”

In brief

Wal-Mart named company veteran Doug McMillon chief executive on Monday, changing top leadership as it faces both new scrutiny for its treatment of employees and increasing pressure to boost sales.

McMillon, 47, will replace chief executive and President Mike Duke, 63, on Feb. 1, the company announced. Duke will remain with the company as chairman.

McMillon, whose first job with Wal-Mart was as a summer worker nearly three decades ago, most recently served as the head of Wal-Mart International, a fast-growing part of the company with 823,000 employees in 26 countries.

He will take the helm of Wal-mart at a challenging moment for the world’s largest retailer. The company is struggling to grow same-store sales in the United States. It also has been the target of repeated job actions by workers and outside organizers, putting it at the center of the growing movement to pressure employers to raise the pay of low-wage workers.

Workers and their backers are planning protests at 1,500 Wal-Mart stores — when the company hosts its annual Black Friday sales event, which marks the official start of the holiday shopping season the day after Thanksgiving.

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — An Ohio school superintendent and three others were charged Monday with lying or failing to report possible child abuse after an investigation prompted by the rape of a nearly passed-out 16-year-old girl by two high school football players.

The investigation included crimes committed in connection with the case against two members of the celebrated Steubenville High School football team as well as a separate alleged rape that happened in April 2012, four months before the assault that drew nationwide attention over allegations that prosecutors should have charged more players.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine convened the grand jury to look into the behavior of school administrators and other adults in the community after the two players were convicted last March.

Possible hoax call locks down Yale NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Yale University was locked down for nearly six hours Monday as authorities investigated a phone call saying an armed man was heading to shoot up the school, a warning they later said was likely a hoax.

SWAT teams searching the Ivy League campus did not find a gunman after a room-by-room search and the lockdown was lifted Monday afternoon. No one was injured, police said.

“New Haven is safe. The Yale campus is safe,” said New Haven Police Chief Dean Esserman.

Contractor charged in building collapse PHILADELPHIA — A cut-rate building contractor will face murder charges for a botched demolition in downtown Philadelphia that killed six people inside an adjacent store, officials announced Monday.

Prosecutors called Griffin Campbell “the center of culpability” for the June collapse, and said he ignored his client’s warning the night before that disaster was imminent.

“The tragic and preventable collapse … robbed our city of six amazing Philadelphians and left an additional 13 wounded,” Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said at a news conference. “The motive was greed.”

Campbell, 49, had a deadline to meet, was being paid a flat fee, and wanted to preserve as much salvageable material as he could, leading him to cut corners, Williams said.

He charged Campbell with six counts each of third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, along with other charges. Griffin’s subcontractor, equipment operator Sean Benschop, had previously been charged.

Easing of Iran sanctions could start in December The Associated Press

U.N.: Syrian peace talks will be held in January

By Loveday Morris The Washington Post

BEIRUT — A long-planned Syrian peace conference is scheduled to take place in January, the United Nations said on Monday, potentially bringing the government of President Bashar al-Assad and his opponents to the negotiating table for the first time since the bloody conflict began in 2011.

The United States, Russia and the U.N. have been attempting to organize the talks — now scheduled for Jan. 22 in Geneva — for months. However, the process was hampered by wrangling over sticking points, including whether Assad would have a role in a post-civil-war Syria.

“We are well aware that the obstacles on the road to a political solution are many, and we will enter the Geneva conference on Syria with our eyes wide open,” Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement.

“This horrific conflict began as a peaceful protest by Syrians who aspire to live in a country where freedom, dignity, and equal treatment under the law are protected,” Kerry said. “Now, in order to end the bloodshed and give the Syrian people a chance to meet their long-deferred aspirations, Syria needs new leadership.”

More than 100,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in March 2011. At least 2 million refugees have fled the war-torn country.

The war has increasingly polarized the Middle East, as Saudi Arabia and Qatar have provided support for the rebels, and Iran and the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah have sent their militants to fight for Assad.

“The conflict in Syria has raged for too long,” the U.N. said in a statement. “It would be unforgivable not to seize this opportunity to bring an end to the suffering and destruction it has caused.”

The goal of the conference is to implement the 2012 Geneva Communique, which called for the establishment of a transitional governing body in Syria.

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expects representatives will come “with a clear understanding that this is the objective,” the organization said in a statement.

The Syrian Opposition Coalition, an umbrella group of rebel factions, has agreed to attend the conference if its conditions are met — including a demand that Assad play no role in a transitional government.

However, the Syrian government, which has said it will attend the talks “in principle” has repeatedly reiterated that it will not go to Geneva with the intention of handing over power.

to sanctions, such as blocks on access to international banking networks that have crippled businesses and made once-routine transactions — such as paying tuition for a student abroad — a complicated process.

In the U.S., President Barack Obama defended the agreement, declaring that the United States “cannot close the door on diplomacy.”

“Tough talk and bluster may be the easy thing to do politically, but it’s not the right thing to do for our security,” he said during an event in San Francisco.

But hardline groups in Iran remained highly wary of any close cooperation with Washington.

An editorial in the conservative daily Kayhan described the U.S. as a deceitful power that could renege on its pledges even

if Iran sticks with its part of the deal.

“The U.S. was not trustworthy.

The Geneva deal lasted only one hour,” it said in its front-page

headline, referring to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s comments that there was no recognition of Iran’s “right” to enrich uranium.

BRUSSELS — European Union sanctions against Iran could be eased as soon as December, officials said Monday, after a potentially historyshaping deal that gives Tehran six months to increase access to its nuclear sites in exchange for keeping the core components of its uranium program.

The deal, announced Sunday, envisions lifting some of the sanctions that have been crippling the country’s economy.

The sanctions were in response to fears that Tehran is using its nuclear program to build atomic arms. Iran denies it wants such weapons.

“A Europe-wide decision is necessary” to ease EU sanctions, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told Europe 1 radio. “That’s expected in several weeks, for a partial lifting that is targeted, reversible.”

“It could be in December, it could be in January, it depends on how long the legislative process takes,” EU foreign affairs spokesman Michael Mann told reporters in Brussels.

The United States and the EU have separate sanctions on Iran.

prehensive agreement since Tehran wants complete sanctions relief, Hague said.

The deal reached Sunday will allow Iran to keep the central elements of its uranium program, while stopping its enrichment at a level lower than what is needed for nuclear arms. In addition to a six-month window for Iran to allow more U.N. access to nuclear sites, sanctions will be eased — notably in the oil, automotive and aviation industries — though not ended.

The agreement is a first step — one that Israel has condemned as a “historic mistake” that effectively accepts Iran as a threshold nuclear weapons state. Israel has found common cause with Saudi Arabia, which shares concerns about a nuclear-armed Iran and Tehran’s growing influence.

On his return to Tehran, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif told state television that the country was prepared for quick follow-up negotiations to keep the deal on track.

“We are ready to begin the final stage of nuclear agreement from tomorrow,” said Zarif, who was greeted by hundreds of cheering students.

Many Iranians appeared upbeat about the deal and the possibility of an eventual end

Easing European restrictions would affect numerous areas, including trade in petrochemicals, gold and other precious metals, financial transfers to purchase food and medicine, and the ability of third countries to use EU-based firms to insure shipments of Iranian oil again.

Mann said work on amending the EU regulations was already beginning, but cautioned that changes depend on Iran living up to its end of the deal.

“It’s important that both sides of the bargain are implementing this agreement, so we would coordinate timing-wise also with the Iranian side,” the EU spokesman said.

Britain’s Foreign Secretary William Hague put the total estimated value of sanctions relief at $7 billion over a six-month period, but stressed it would not all come at once.

“They do not receive 7 billion on the first day and then decide if they want to implement their side of the agreement,” Hague said, calling the amount of sanctions relief “a very small proportion” of the total frozen assets and value of sanctions applied to Iran.

“The way we’re doing sanctions relief leaves Iran with a huge incentive” to go for a com-

FDA halts sales of DNA testing kit

By Brady Dennis The Washington Post

A police officer leads two women and a child from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012. A new report says there’s no clear indication why shooter Adam Lanza chose the school other than that it was close to his home. SHANNON HICKS/NEWTOWN BEE FILE PHOTO

Motive: Judge weighing release of 911 recordings Continued from Page A-1 “The obvious question that remains is: ‘Why did the shooter murder 27 people, including 20 children?’ Unfortunately, that question may never be answered conclusively,” the report said.

Lanza “was under no extreme emotional disturbance for which there was a reasonable explanation or excuse.”

The summary released by the lead investigator, State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, describes a 20-yearold gunman who had “significant mental health issues” but had sure knowledge of what he was planning: Besides having the spreadsheet, he smashed his computer hard drive and used earplugs during the shooting.

Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six educators with a semi-automatic rifle at the school on Dec. 14. He also shot his mother in the forehead inside their home. He committed suicide with a handgun as police arrived at the school.

Sedensky said there was no clear indication why Lanza chose Sandy Hook Elementary other than that it was close to his home. He attended Sandy Hook from first through fifth grade, but he was never assigned to the classrooms where the shootings took place.

The spiral-bound manuscript that Lanza wrote in the fifth grade at Sandy Hook, “The Big Book of Granny,” was among items seized from Lanza’s home. There is no indication he ever handed it in at school.

The main character has a gun in her cane and shoots people, and another character likes hurting people, especially children Lanza also became obsessed with the 1999 Columbine High bloodbath and other such mass killings, the report said.

The guns he used in the attack had been purchased legally by his mother, who often took her son shooting and, according to the report, had written out a check to buy him a pistol for Christmas.

The report said that in 2005, Lanza was diagnosed with Asperger’s disorder — an autism-like condition that is not associated with violence — and that he lacked empathy for others and behaved strangely.

Nobody was allowed into his room, not even to clean, according to the report. It said Lanza also disliked birthdays, Christmas and holidays and did not like to have his hair cut.

He also wouldn’t touch doorknobs, his food had to be arranged on the plate in a certain way, and he changed clothes often during the day. He was a loner at school and was repelled by crowds and loud noises.

Weeks before the Newtown shooting, Nancy Lanza was concerned about her son and said he hadn’t gone anywhere in three months and would communicate with her by email only, even though they lived in the same house, according to the report.

However, she never expressed fear that she or anyone else was in danger from Adam, the report said. She was

out of town in New Hampshire the week before the shooting, arriving home the evening of Dec. 13.

Lanza “was undoubtedly afflicted with mental health problems; yet despite a fascination with mass shootings and firearms, he displayed no aggressive or threatening tendencies,” Sedensky wrote.

“Some recalled that the shooter had been bullied; but others — including many teachers — saw nothing of the sort.”

Sedensky said the hard drive taken from Lanza’s bedroom might hold clues but was so damaged that data will probably never be extracted from it.

A timeline released with the report indicates that nearly six minutes passed between the arrival of the first Newtown police office and the time officers entered the school. The report said officers were operating under the belief there may have been more than one shooter.

Whether the delay made any difference was unclear. The report said Lanza killed himself about a minute after the first officer arrived.

Teresa Rousseau, whose daughter Lauren was among the six educators killed at Sandy Hook, said she hasn’t read the report.

“It’s just too painful to go there,” Rousseau said.

Donna Soto, the mother of slain teacher Victoria Soto, said in a statement that nothing could make sense of the shooting.

“Yes, we have read the report, no, we cannot make sense of why it happened. We don’t know if anyone ever will,” Soto wrote. “We don’t know if we will ever be whole again, we don’t know if we will go a day without pain, we don’t know if anything will ever make sense again.”

To try to figure out the motive, investigators said, they interviewed members of Lanza’s family — his father and brother cooperated fully — along with teachers and others.

They said they also tried within the limits of privacy laws to gather information on his medical treatment.

They found no evidence he had taken any medication that would have affected his behavior or explain the bloodbath.

Sedensky’s report is a summary of a much larger Connecticut state police evidence file that is expected to be released at a later date.

Sedensky has gone to court to fight release of the 911 tapes from the school to spare the victims’ families the anguish. A Connecticut judge said Monday he will listen to the recordings before deciding whether they can be made public.

The report said the first officer arrived behind the school at 9:39 a.m.

Two other Newtown officers then arrived within seconds, and gunshots were heard in the background.

The last gunshot officers heard, which is believed to be the suicide shot by Lanza, was heard at three seconds past 9:40. Newtown officers entered the school at 47 seconds past 9:44, according to the report.

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration has ordered the maker of a popular genetic-testing kit to halt sales of its heavily marketed product, saying the mail-order tests haven’t been proven effective and could dangerously mislead people about their health.

The move came in a sharply worded letter to 23andMe, a California start-up backed by Google.

The company says that its Personal Genome Service can detect more than 240 genetic conditions and traits, flagging a person’s vulnerability to heart disease, breast cancer and other illnesses.

The privately held company, founded in 2006, is headed by biologist and businesswoman Anne Wojcicki, who is separated from Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

The FDA said the company repeatedly has failed to provide the scientific data necessary to prove that its test works as advertised.

Perhaps more significantly, the agency’s action underscores its unease about the potential consequences of direct-to-consumer genetic tests, which can provide people with detailed information but not necessarily the context necessary

to interpret what it means or how they should proceed.

It also highlighted a contentious debate that has unfolded in recent years over how and whether the government should police an individual’s access to information about his or her genes.

In its letter, which was dated Nov. 22 but posted online Monday, the FDA said it was concerned about 23andMe’s directto-consumer test “because of the potential health consequences that could result from false positive or false negative assessments,” which could lead people into unnecessary or ineffective treatments.

The agency also said that the company had failed to support its claims despite “more than 14 face-to-face and teleconference meetings” with FDA officials, as well as “hundreds of email exchanges” and “ample detailed feedback.”

“Since July of 2009, we have been diligently working to help you comply with regulatory requirements,” the FDA said. “However, even after these many interactions with 23andMe, we still do not have any assurance that the firm has analytically or clinically validated the [test] for its intended uses.”

23andMe isn’t the only

firm offering direct-to-consumer genetic testing, but it’s the largest and best known.

About half a million people have used the company’s DNA kit, which costs $99 online and requires customers to submit a saliva sample via mail. The company then sends recommendations, such as suggesting that a customer track the amount of gluten in his diet if his DNA shows an increased risk for celiac disease.

In a statement Monday, 23andMe confirmed that it had received the FDA’s warning letter. “We recognize that we have not met the FDA’s expectations regarding timeline and communication regarding our submission. Our relationship with the FDA is extremely important to us and we are committed to fully engaging with them to address their concerns.”

The company has 15 days to detail how it will go forward, or else it could face other regulatory actions such as civil fines or injunctions.

David Kaufman, director of research at the Genetics and Public Policy Center at Johns Hopkins University, said the FDA’s scathing warning to 23andMe ultimately could be a positive development for the company and the genetic-testing

industry, which until now has operated virtually without oversight.

“In some ways, the industry has been both terrified and has been waiting for this day,” Kaufman said. “The companies want to know what they need to do. … It’s good that the feds are thinking about this actively.”

He added that 23andMe had taken care not to be too specific when reporting results, but rather to explain to customers when they have an elevated risk for certain conditions based on their DNA. In addition, he said that the company’s quest for FDA approval, while clearly an effort that has been rocky, also is helping to create a regulatory structure that will govern such tests in the future.

“There are a lot of fly-bynight operations out there, and this isn’t one, in my opinion,” Kaufman said. “I think they’re trying to do it the right way.”

The FDA’s move toward regulating genetic tests marketed directly to consumers ramped up in 2010, when the agency sent letters to 23andMe and several other companies declaring that the tests are medical devices that must receive government approval. The agency also convened a public hearing on the matter.

D’Anna: He did not verify signatures Continued from Page A-1 petition. “One said, ‘I’m a Jehovah’s Witness. I can’t vote.’ ” D’Anna said he and his campaign lost steam after that.

“I kind of got a little down after that and said, ‘Well, hell, if the people don’t care, why should I?’ ” D’Anna said.

Candidates had until Nov. 2 to collect signatures, which they were required to turn in Nov. 7.

D’Anna said one of his friends, a Vietnam veteran, convinced him to give the signature gathering another shot. They stood outside the Wal-Mart

Supercenter gathering signatures from shoppers on Nov. 1 and 2, D’Anna said.

“This is a good place to meet the people,” he said. “This is where average, everyday people shop.”

D’Anna said he asked people if they were registered to vote in the city before getting their signatures. “No way in my mind did I even think that there would be people not registered that signed it, and especially not 219,” he said.

Vigil did not return messages seeking comment Monday. But she previously said she would purge signatures for a variety of reasons, from appear-

ing on more than one nominating petition to listing the wrong address.

The names and addresses of all the people that Vigil’s office purged from D’Anna’s nominating petitions were published Thursday in The New Mexican as required under state statute, Vigil said last week. The ad, which took up more than half a page, cost city taxpayers more than $1,000.

“I put a lot into this as well. I have no pity in that regard,” D’Anna said. “I feel like I lost a lot as well.”

Hold: King’s office said order is invalid Continued from Page A-1 In a legal opinion requested by a dozen legislators, King’s office said Friday the executive order is invalid because the Legislature didn’t authorize the restrictions on project financing.

Clifford said in a statement that the executive order is a “strong financial control measure that will help safeguard the millions of dollars of capital outlay appropriations made each year.”

King spokesman Phil Sisneros said the Attorney General’s Office will assess what step to take next, including a possible lawsuit, if the governor continues to place a hold on capital projects.

King is among five Democratic candidates for governor, seeking the party’s nomination to challenge Martinez in next year’s general election.

About $269 million worth of capital projects were approved by the Democratic-controlled Legislature and signed into law by the governor this year.

“Although the requirements of the executive order may be reasonable

and beneficial, the separation of powers mandated by the state constitution prevent the governor from adding additional conditions or obstacles to an agency’s appropriation that are not intended by the Legislature and inconsistent with the Legislature’s purpose,” concluded the legal opinion

by Assistant Attorney General Sally Malave.

King’s office said this year’s capital projects law gives the administration only limited powers to determine whether a project is ready before receiving bond financing. The administration is to certify that spending on a project will start within six months and that most of the money will be used within three years.

“By placing additional limits on an agency’s ability to receive appropriated amounts, we believe that the executive order attempts to make law and improperly intrudes into the Legislature’s function,” King’s office said.

The executive order directed Clifford’s agency to release capital improvement financing only to governmental organizations that have completed their annual financial audits and corrected any problems

identified by auditors.

“The opinion would put tax dollars at risk by seemingly mandating that state agencies make grants of capital outlay appropriations to local governments with documented deficiencies … or about which no reliable information is available due to the lack of timely audits,” Clifford said.

He also said the legal opinion, if accepted, would require the governor to veto money from capital improvement bills for “grantees with untimely audits or documented deficiencies, rather than giving those grantees an opportunity to get their fiscal house in order.”

The policy was developed after the administration reviewed this year’s projects and determined some were for governmental groups late in submitting audits required by state law.

Democratic State Auditor Hector Balderas applauded the governor’s action at the time it was announced, saying he had unsuccessfully asked the Legislature to allow him to penalize or fine governmental organizations that don’t comply with audit requirements.

Security: Karzai wants prisoners released, peace talks with Taliban Continued from Page A-1 and conduct counter terrorism operations, after the Americans and their NATO partners withdraw all combat troops by the end of next year. The administration has said it must be signed before the end of this year if U.S. and NATO planning for post2014 deployments are to be completed.

On Sunday — despite endorsement of the deal by the assembly, called a Loya Jirga — Karzai repeated his refusal to sign until after presidential elections here in April. U.S. officials have said they believed Karzai himself was bluffing, and jockeying for position as the election approaches.

But “the president said, ‘Madame

Rice, the ball is in your court,’” Faizi said. “The president said, ‘if you are under the impression the [agreement] will be signed without a peace process, and without a total ban on raids of Afghan homes, this is a serious miscalculation.’”

Although written in far more diplomatic language, the NSC statement was equally tough, saying that Rice “stressed that we have concluded negotiations and that deferring the signature of the agreement until after next year’s elections is not viable” and that she “reiterated that, without a prompt signature, the U.S. would have no choice but to initial planning for a post-2014 future in which there would be no U.S. or NATO troop presence in Afghanistan.”

Failure to sign, Rice told Karzai, would also jeopardize not only the $4 billion in international pledges to fund the Afghan military after 2014, but also an additional $4 billion that has been pledged for Afghan economic development.

In his Sunday speech to the Loya Jirga, Karzai also accused the U.S. government of seeking to undermine him and the elections, and said he needed additional assurances. Faizi said that Rice stressed during the meeting that the administration has “no favored candidate in that election,” and “strongly committed to not interfering with it.”

“That was a commitment that was made in very strong terms and very strong words, and that clearly satisfied

the president,” Faizi said. But when the conversation shifted to other matters, he said, it became more tense.

Gen. Joseph Dunford, the commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan, and James Cunningham, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, accompanied Rice to the meeting.

According to Faizi, Dunford said he has instructed all U.S. commanders in Afghanistan to take “all necessary measures” to try to avoid civilian casualties in military missions.

Faizi said Cunningham strongly objected to Karzai’s demand for the release of Afghan prisoners from Guantánamo Bay, calling the proposal unrealistic. But Karzai noted the members of Loya Jirga had also called for such a release, the spokesman said.

“The president said you can’t pick and choose” which provisions from the assembly to accept, Faizi said.

Faizi said the release of Afghan prisoners from Guantánamo Bay is a vital step to launching a peace process with Taliban militants.

Karzai is also expecting the U.S. government to work with Pakistan’s government to start those talks, the spokesman said.

“He asked the United States to launch the Afghan peace process,” Faizi said “He strongly believes Afghan peace is firmly in the hands of the United States first, and secondly in the hands of Pakistan.”

Some militants who launch attacks in Afghanistan are believed to be based in Pakistan.

Help for Santa Clara Pueblo, FEMA sign agreement for requesting federal disaster relief

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

he Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Santa Clara Pueblo signed an agreement Monday allowing the tribe to request federal disaster relief without going through the state government.

The agreement will speed the receipt of federal funds after major storms and fire on pueblo lands.

Santa Clara was hit by major floods this year, once in mid-July and again in September. The damage was severe because of the remaining scars from 2011 Las Conchas fire, which burned 17,000 acres of pueblo land, including the watershed.

FEMA is still assessing the latest damage, and the pueblo has been paying for cleanup out of its own funds.

Since the fire, the tribe has spent some $5 million on recovery efforts.

The government-to-government agreement, announced earlier this month, was signed Mon-

T

day afternoon at the office Gov. J. Bruce Tafoya office according to Edward Calabaza, the pueblo’s spokesman.

Santa Clara is the first federally recognized tribe in Region 6 — New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas — to be allowed to go directly to the federal government to request a disaster declaration.

The 1988 Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act was amended earlier this year to allow tribal governments the option of dealing directly with the federal government.

“It’s beneficial to all parties when we can achieve government-to-government working relationships like this,” said Santa Clara Pueblo’s Lt. Gov. John Shije in a news release. “The tribe is very much in need of this assistance. We are very grateful for the support.”

Normally, after a major national disaster the state has to submit the request for a federal declaration. FEMA officials then assess the damaged areas. Under its Public Assistance Program,

Nancy Casper, federal coordinating officer and the National Disaster Relief Fund coordinating officer for FEMA, and Santa Clara Pueblo Lt. Gov. John Shije discuss the agreement Monday.

FEMA can approve supplemental funding to reimburse states, tribes and local governments for extraordinary costs incurred while responding to a disaster and costs related to restoring infrastructure. The money is distributed by the state.

President Barack Obama approved declarations on Sept. 27 for flooding in mid-July and on Oct. 24 for flooding in mid-September.

Officials have said that Santa Clara’s $30,000 emergency fund was depleted after the July storms.

Officials have estimated that the pueblo needs about $50 million to recover from the the latest round of natural disasters.

Ski Santa Fe to open on Thanksgiving The New Mexican

Ski Santa Fe announced Monday morning that it will open on Thanksgiving day for the first time in nine years. The resort reported 15 inches of new snow from the weekend storm.

It has a 27-inch base, and 90 percent of the mountain will be open.

In 2004, the ski area opened six days before Thanksgiving, but since then it has not been able to open until later.

The weekend storm dumped between 5 and 9 inches in the Santa Fe metro area according to National Weather Service meteorologist Jennifer Palucki.

Lt. William Pacheco with the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said there had been 20 vehicle crashes since early Sunday as a result of the weather in Santa Fe County. City police reported between 15 and 20 crashes during the storm period. Santa Fe Public Schools and the Santa Fe Community College started late Monday, and the state issued a two-hour delay for its employees in Santa Fe. Although the snow has moved on, colder weather will stick around for a while longer with an expected high of 37 degrees on Tuesday and a low of 20, and a high of 39 degrees on Wednesday and a low of 24. Daytime highs will average in the mid-40s through the rest of the week and into Sunday, though temperatures might dip into the mid-20s at night.

In a statement Monday morning, the National Weather Service warned of poten-

tial wind gusts up to 45 mph and cautioned drivers that melting snow would likely freeze on roadways, so icy conditions would still be a problem come Tuesday morning.

The Associated Press reported Monday that “300 American Airlines and American

Eagle flights were canceled in and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.”

At the Santa Fe ski area, all lifts will be open on Thanksgiving, including the Millennium Triple Chair, Tesuque Peak Triple Chair and the Super Chief Quad Chair. All ski area restaurants, shops and cafes will be open to the public as well.

Other Northern New Mexico resorts were blessed by snowfalls over the weekend. Taos Ski Valley, which will also open on Thanksgiving day, reported Monday that it received 26 inches of snow over the previous five days, bringing its base to 38 inches. The Red River Ski Area will open Nov. 27. It received between 16 and 20 inches during the weekend storm. Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort, which opened Nov. 16, reportedly received 13 inches of snow, making for an 18-inch base.

Pajarito Mountain near Los Alamos received between five and six inches of snow, but the area has yet to open.

Angel Fire Resort reported getting a foot snow thanks to the storm, but the area doesn’t open until Dec. 13.

An audio recording of the conversation between a Santa Fe police dispatcher and a dispatcher for the New Mexico State Police on the night a 39-year-old Santa Fe woman was shot and killed in her car after a high-speed chase shows that state police never provided a reason for the pursuit to the dispatch center.

Because of that, they never got the backup they requested from city police.

The audio recorded early on Nov. 7 between the city dispatcher, Amanda Macias, and the state police dispatcher, Roberto Lujan, was released by the Santa Fe Regional Emergency Jeanette Communications Center on Monday. Anaya Referring to the police commanders, Macias tells Lujan, “They are going to need a reason for pursuit or they are not going to continue.”

In the background a male voice says, “Did you get a reason for the pursuit?”

“OK, I’m trying to get it,” Lujan replies to Macias.

“What’s the reason for the pursuit?” he asks.

Oliver Wilson, the officer chasing the woman, doesn’t respond. Lujan waits, then states: “Shots fired, shots fired.” That announcement comes about 4 minutes after the state police request for backup and 21 seconds after the crash, the recording shows.

State police say the driver was backing toward Wilson when he began firing.

According to the New Mexico State Police highspeed pursuit policy, the officer leading the pursuit has to give a reason for the chase to the dispatcher.

Tom Clark, the lawyer for the family of Jeanette Anaya, who was shot and killed by Wilson after the deadly pursuit came to an end on Camino Carlos Rey near Las Casitas, said the dispatch logs and the audio helps prove his point that Wilson was unjustified in initiating the pursuit and shooting his gun.

“What this dispatch log does is gives us real solid evidence of what actually transpired on this evening,” Clark said.

State police are still investigating the incident and have not yet released either the initial report of entry or the patrol car’s dash-cam video.

The Nov. 7 incident is one of four in the past month in which state police have used deadly force. Two of those incidents are still being investigated, including a Oct. 28 case in which a state police officer shot at a minivan loaded with five children near Taos.

According to the audio recording, Macias attempted at least twice to find out why state police were pursuing Anaya. Lujan also tried three times to find out why Wilson had initiated the pursuit.

According to the dispatch logs, Lt. Andrea Dobyns was the shift commander at the time. The dispatch center notified her of the call for backup, but she is not heard on the audio recording.

Police initially said that Anaya’s car was going 87 mph at one point through a residential area, but according to the audio recording, she was driving 75 mph. While being pursued, Anaya turned left on Pacheco Street from St. Michael’s Drive and then right onto Siringo Road.

State police have said that Wilson attempted to pull Anaya over at 1:14 a.m. on St. Francis Drive at Alta Vista Street because she was driving erratically. According to the city police dispatch logs, the pursuit started at 1:13 a.m. and lasted until 1:17 a.m. when shots were fired.

A 911 call by a woman who lived nearby told another dispatcher that she heard about eight shots.

The dispatch logs show that city police were nearby and waiting to respond. Minutes after state police fired into Anaya’s car, they arrived and administered first aid. Anaya was pronounced dead at the scene.

State police spokesman Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez did not return a phone call seeking comment Monday.

A 34-year-old man was in the passenger seat, but police haven’t released his name because he isn’t facing any charges.

After the internal investigation is over, state police will forward the report to District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco for review. She will then decide if the shooting should be presented to a grand jury.

Committee signs off on digital display board Bus riders could soon see an electronic message display board at the South Capitol Rail Runner Station with real-time bus arrival information.

A City Council committee on Monday approved a memorandum of agreement with the state Department of Transportation to allow the installation of the display board in the station parking lot.

“The proposed display will be mounted on one of the existing covered passenger shelters designated for Santa Fe Trails buses and will text real-time bus arrival information to passengers,” Jon Bulthuis, the city’s Transportation Department director, said in a memo to the council’s Public Works Committee.

A memorandum of agreement to use state property for the display board is required since the station is owned by the state. The display board was purchased with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the memo states.

Panel approves request to expand SFPD Ruin damaged by New building would house computer forensics lab

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

A plan to expand the Santa Fe Police Department’s headquarters, giving employees a little more breathing room and creating a dedicated computer forensics lab, reached another milestone Monday.

The City Council’s Public Works Committee approved a request to award the $719,606 bid to Sarcon Construction Corp. for the construction of a two-story building adjacent to police headquarters in south Santa Fe. “We have outgrown a lot of the aspects of our current building,” Deputy Chief John Schaerfl said.

Navajos sought for uranium cleanup training

“Now with the annexation coming up in January, we’re going to be adding to our number of sworn personnel and eventually to the number of civilian administrative staff. As it is today, I have not a spare inch of office space to give to anybody for any reason,” he said.

In fact, even existing employees don’t have enough room.

“Right now, especially the finance department, they’re all squished in cubicles,” police spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said.

“One of the employees doesn’t even have an actual office. Her desk is kind of in the hallway and they did a little makeshift office space for her,” she said.

Plans call for the new building to be 25,700 square feet, Westervelt said.

“We could break ground

early January, and they say it could take about 10 months to complete,” she said.

The bid approved by the Public Works Committee is scheduled to go before the Finance Committee Dec. 2 and before the full council Dec. 11, Westervelt said.

Schaerfl said the first floor would include offices for each patrol team and the patrol commander, office space for the traffic division and public safety aides, a small conference room and a new armory.

“The current one we have is literally, I don’t know, 8 feet by 9 feet,” Schaerfl said about the existing armory, which is used to store records and files for all police firearms, spare parts and spare weapons, among other things.

“You literally could not turn around in there if there were more than two people in the armory,” he said.

The second floor, which has a smaller footprint than the first, would include more office space for civilian and sworn personnel and a small computer forensics lab for detectives to investigate cyberrelated crimes, Schaerfl said.

The existing lab used to be in the basement but now is “in between offices,” he said.

Schaerfl said the city received the money for the project from the state Legislature over the last two legislative sessions.

“It’s a very welcome gift that the state gave us, so we’re going to take advantage of it,” he said. “In fact, the timing is perfect to go with the annexation and the additional positions that we’re going to get because without it, we would be really hard pressed to put any of these new people anywhere.”

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Northern Arizona University is using federal grant money to address two of the most widespread problems on the Navajo Nation — unemployment and uranium contamination.

A $200,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will allow the school’s Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals to train up to 40 people over three years to safely handle radioactive materials and to find a job in a place where the unemployment rate hovers around 50 percent.

About 4 million tons of uranium ore were mined from the reservation from 1944 to 1986 for wartime weapons, leaving a legacy of death and disease.

Families still live among the contamination that the tribe and federal government are working toward cleaning up. The top priority is the former Northeast Church Rock Mine near Gallup, N.M. “Between now and that point the green light is given, we have an opportunity to start this training program and help get people prepared so they have the right credentials,” said Stephen Etsitty, executive director of the Navajo Environmental Protection Agency.

The Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals is encouraging Navajos to apply for the program by Jan. 31. Successful applicants could end up closing off abandoned uranium mines in Cameron; removing contaminated soil in Church Rock, N.M., or near Mexican Hat in Utah; or addressing water supplies around Tuba City. Officials say some drinking water sources have elevated levels of uranium and other radionuclides.

The prime applicants would be Navajos who live in and around those communities who are familiar with the risks of exposure to radioactive materials. But the institute would consider applications from Navajos living off the reservation as well, said program coordinator Roberta Tohannie.

“If I was living in an area that had been contaminated by radioactive waste, I’d be extremely concerned about my health,” she said. “If had livestock, I’d be concerned about that, too.”

When it comes to cleanup, Tohannie said people should have the appropriate protection and knowledge to work at those sites.

Getting selected for training doesn’t come with a guarantee of employment, but jobs are expected to be available as plans for cleanup materialize. The training will take place in the tribal capital of Window Rock.

Northern Arizona University applied for the grant in fiscal year 2012 but didn’t receive the money.

quick glance at any sidewalk or dog run in Santa Fe might leave the impression that dogs outnumber people in New Mexico’s capital city. The City Different loves dogs, but the thought of leaving an active dog inside all day while their owner is at work gives most owners pause. Fear not, because Kathy and the staff at Lucky Dawg Day Care offer dog lovers a quality dog day care service to fit their budgets.

Kathy has been the proud proprietor of Lucky Dawg Day Care for close to ten years. “Personally, I’ve been a dog owner since I was a child,” she said. Drawn to volunteer at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, Kathy soon found she wanted to combine her passion for working with dogs with a useful service for everyday dog owners. “I found that I liked the work at the shelter and received an introduction and master class in animal facility management through my volunteer work.”

Kathy soon found her niche. Talking to other volunteers at the animal shelter, she found that many owners were looking for a facility that would provide stimulation, social interaction and personal care for their dogs while they worked. Day care facilities for dogs Santa Fe at the time were scant. Thus, Lucky Dawg Day Care and Training Center was born.

Pictured is Kathy Jackson and kids. set up facilities at the site focused on a smaller size and individualized care for each dog. “I always emphasize personal contact with dogs in our care, so having 50 or 60 dogs and a larger facility or a corral of dogs was never the service I wanted to provide,” she said. She found an average of 30 or 35 dogs was the right balance.

To ensure a quality match for her daily group of canine friends, Kathy implements a temperament assessment, in addition to the typical immunization and health checks, before admitting new canine members. (Dogs over the age of seven months must be spayed or neutered and be current on their immunizations to be considered for the day care program.) She examines each dog’s traits to determine how the canine will respond to other dogs, as well as the general environment provided. “If a dog is stressed out here, it’s not in the best interest of the dog’s owner or mine to have their pet here, and it’s detrimental to the dog’s health,” she emphasized.

Once Kathy and her trained staff determine a dog is a good fit, the fun begins. From the first day of day care, “we provide direct contact with each dog and do not corral or

idle dogs for long periods of time,” Kathy said. Lucky Dawg combines a spacious interior activity area with a shaded outdoor play space complete with wading pools and caninefriendly grass. Food options are plentiful and nutritious.

“There are always two staff members supervising and interacting with the dogs to prevent potential problems and to provide activity,” said Kathy. A veterinarian is on call should a health issue crop up during the day. Lucky Dawg recently replaced the flooring in the indoor area with a rubberized surface to make the space kinder to paw pads and legs.

Lucky Dawg caters to dog owners in Santa Fe, but welcomes canine guests from out of town as well. “I have a few folks that regularly visit in the summer that bring in their dogs once or twice a week while they take in tours at museums or other day long activities,” said Kathy.

Lucky Dawg Day Care not only provides a quality day care experience for your pet, but is also a valued member of the animal lover community in Santa Fe. In cooperation with Lost Pet Alert, Lucky Dawg posts updated information about dogs lost in the greater Santa Fe area on their website as well as their Facebook page.

If the full project is approved by the county, it could take eight to 10 years to complete.

The shopping center complex will either drill its own wells or tap into the casino’s well water supply.

For tribal developers, the project is a chance to deliver desperately needed jobs and revenue to the reservation.

And they’re not the only ones looking to build.

Last November, the Hopis bought a massive piece of land from the Drye family on the other side of Interstate 40. It’s not yet clear what their intentions are for the property.

And down the road near Meteor Crater, an international

consortium of scientists is considering building a $130 million array of telescopes.

County officials say the Interstate 40 corridor east of Flagstaff is brimming with opportunities.

The building isn’t likely to come overnight, but in the coming years Coconino County officials will begin to create development plans for the first time in that area.

“This is really like a new frontier out here and we’ve got to get it right,” said Coconino County District 4 Supervisor Mandy Metzger. “I’m very optimistic.”

Metzger’s sprawling district has no incorporated areas other than a sliver of east Flagstaff.

She sees the potential for jobs, housing and services as a positive for the county.

Elk head found in home of suspected game thief

By Tom Sharpe The New Mexican

State game officers have seized an elk head from the El Rito residence of a man suspected of stealing two elk heads from a hunters’ camp in September.

According to an affidavit for a search warrant filed in state District Court, a non-resident hunter called the state Department of Game and Fish’s “Operation Game Thief Hotline” on Sept. 21 to say that his hunting party was awakened as they slept in their camper in the Carson National Forest.

The caller said he and other members of his party saw a Toyota 4-Runner with its headlights off driving away. After discovering that two heads of elk killed earlier were missing, they followed the SUV and asked the Toyota’s driver to return their elk heads.

“Instead, the 4-Runner sped off in the direction of El Rito,” says the affidavit. “After trying to chase down the 4-Runner at speeds of near 60 mph, they decided it was too dangerous to continue the pursuit.”

On Sept. 23, the affidavit continues, another man called the hotline to say that the vehicle described by the hunters belonged to Justin Romero, 26, who lives in a mobile home parked in a space on the El Rito campus of Northern New Mexico College.

The affidavit includes photographs of the two heads on the ground and describes them as being “4x4” and “3x3” — referring to the number of points on either side of the antlers.

But after obtaining a search warrant and searching Romero’s residence on Oct. 29, game officer John Sershen reported seizing one “6x6 Bull Elk Skull with Antlers” along with two cellphones, a disposable camera and a mini jump drive.

Sershen wrote that he believes Romero is guilty of unlawful possession of elk. State law makes it a crime to possess the heads, horns or antlers of protected species found in the field without a permit or invoice from the state Department of Game and Fish, with the exception of obviously shed antlers.

Area taxidermists say elk racks of 12 or more points, considered a “royal” or “imperial” trophy, are worth a few hundred dollars, while those as small as the ones reportedly stolen are worth no more than $20.

“The [state] Game & Fish law on illegal possession [of game] is so ridiculous,” said Mike Archuleta of Tierra Taxidermy in Española. “It’s used to selectively prosecute and harass certain individuals.”

As of Friday, no charges had been brought against Romero in the case. A spokeswoman for the state Department of Game and Fish declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.

Romero has not been available for comment.

Rental fee waiver could extend to other facilities

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

A policy that allows elected city officials to waive rental fees for nonprofits who use the Santa Fe Community Convention Center could be expanded to include other city-owned venues.

Currently, the mayor and each city councilor can give one nonprofit of their choosing free use of the convention center for one fundraising event a year.

A resolution sponsored by City Councilor Ron Trujillo would allow the mayor and each councilor to waive a nonprofit’s rental fees annually at one additional cityowned facility, such as the Genoveva Chavez Community Center.

The resolution has been approved by the council’s Public Works and Finance committees and is scheduled to be considered by the full council on Dec. 11.

“I’m just trying to help out the nonprofits,” Trujillo said Wednesday. “I mean, the way the economy has been, I know everybody has been struggling.”

The existing policy has had mixed success.

The New Mexican reported in August that certain groups repeatedly were benefiting from the fee-waiver policy while others were unaware they could apply to use the convention center for free.

The policy, approved in 2012, called for the city to solicit proposals from nonprofits, but no such process was ever

put in place.

City spokeswoman Jodi McGinnis Porter said the city has developed a plan but is waiting to roll it out until after the council considers Trujillo’s resolution and makes minor tweaks to the original resolution pertaining to convention center fees. Both resolutions call for the city manager to solicit proposals from nonprofits who could benefit from a fee waiver for a one-day fundraising event.

“Once the City Council has put forth the new initiative, we will put out a call for letters of interest,” McGinnis Porter said. “But it’s important that we wait until the resolution passes because they could change some of the criteria during the meeting.”

Same-sex nuptials rise in Calif.

By Channing Joseph The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — More California couples tied the knot in July following the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic ruling allowing same-sex marriages in the state than in any other month since 2006, according to new data.

Statistics from the California Department of Public Health show nearly 30,800 couples received marriage licenses in California in July, a 35 percent increase over July 2012. The data suggest that gay couples rushed by the thousands to purchase marriage licenses after the high court’s decisions paving the way for the legalization of same-sex nuptials in Califor-

nia and for federal recognition of them in Washington.

But pinning down just how many of the 30,000 new marriages involved same-sex couples is tricky because California doesn’t make a distinction between same-sex and opposite-sex marriages.

“The marriage applications don’t ask about the gender, so we don’t have that information,” health department spokesperson Matt Conens said.

However, the health department’s numbers also show a spike upward in June 2008 — by 12 percent — when the California Supreme Court first struck down the state’s ban on gay marriage, just before the passage of Proposition 8 again temporarily

restored it.

Demographic researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, also point out that a large proportion of the same-sex couples in a given state often choose to marry soon after those marriages are recognized.

Gary Gates, a UCLA scholar who specializes in the demographics of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender populations, cites a November 2011 study published by colleagues the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute.

“About 30 percent of existing same-sex couples in a state would be married within the first year after marriage was legalized,” Gates said.

“Within three years, it was about half.”

Del Norte Credit Union robbed for second time The FBI and the Santa Fe Police Department are searching for a man they say robbed the Del Norte Credit Union at gunpoint Tuesday morning.

A Tuesday news release stated that the man entered the credit union at 510 N. Guadalupe St., at about 9:35 a.m., showed a gun to the teller and demanded money. The teller turned over an undisclosed amount of money, and the man fled on foot.

The release described the suspect as a male in his mid-30s, about 6-feet tall and weighing about 180 to 200 pounds. He wore a black jacket with a fur hood, sunglasses, white gloves and a blue bandanna that covered his face.

Organization aims to give independent contractors a voice in N.M.

cott and Karen Malouf were shuffling around their Plaza retail space last week like expectant parents — fixing, moving, hanging and waiting for the

big day.

After months of planning and preparation, it arrived Monday, as Malouf’s on the Plaza opened in the old 5,800-square-foot Packard’s space, 61 Old Santa Fe Trail.

Much will be familiar to loyal Packard’s customers, including the 11 employees who will be staying with the new business.

They’ve also retained many of the Native American and Santa Fe artists who have been showcased in the store for decades, including Navajo weavers and local jewelry designers.

The sign overhanging the Plaza portal will also remain, until a new one that meets historic standards can be approved.

“We want to continue innovation and continue the level of excellence that the location deserves,” said Scott Malouf, a longtime retailer in Lubbock, Texas, who opened Drest

by Scott Malouf in 2009, which specializes in designer women’s clothing. Before opening his own store, Malouf spent 35 years working in clothing retail with his father.

But don’t think the Plaza location is going to be part of the Malouf chain, as he intends to nurture the right fit for Santa Fe residents and visitors who expect a high-quality and unique retail experience.

“It’s not like I have this formula and I’m going to stamp it out in several locations,” Malouf said. “That’s not how I do retail. You have to be in and have both ears open and be listening to people and see what they want.

There is still a community here, and you have to be current to what that community wants.”

“What [shoppers] come to Santa Fe for are things that are unique,” added Karen Malouf, who is handling the operations end of the business. “Especially this location, we want to carry on the tradition of having authentic Native American jewelry, having the leading local artists and continue the tradition that Packard’s has always had. People can come here and trust that what they are buying was made here.”

But Scott Malouf also is bringing in some new contemporary designers; longtime Santa Fe goldsmith Luna Felix will have her own showroom in the store. And he will offer a line of luxury women’s accessories, a niche he developed at Drest by Malouf in Lubbock.

Malouf said he was always interested in relocating to Santa Fe full time. He proposed to his wife here, and they’ve maintained a part-time home in Santa Fe for many years.

On one visit to Santa Fe, he even engaged the former Packard’s general manager about the challenges of Santa Fe and how the market for high-end retail was changing.

When he heard the space was going to be available, Malouf knew he needed to move

olo entrepreneurs — some of whom are independent contractors, others just one-person companies with no employees — make up 77 percent of New Mexico’s businesses, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2007 Small Business Survey, and they generate about $4.5 billion in revenue each year.

While at least part of the revenue generated by independent contractors is subject to New Mexico’s gross-receipts tax, companies that engage independent contractors are exempt from collecting and paying payroll taxes that would be required if the contractors were classified as employees.

Because some businesses for years have abused this distinction to avoid paying payroll and workers’ compensation taxes, Congress and many state legislatures, including New Mexico’s, are re-evaluating their laws governing classification of employees and independent contractors.

So far, New Mexico lawmakers have concluded that existing laws, properly enforced, suffice to deal with deliberate misclassification. But one advocacy group, a coalition of individuals and organizations called It’s My Business, is concerned that ongoing efforts to combat the misdeeds of a few will lead to regulatory burdens on all businesses. The result would be to make it more difficult, if not impossible, for independent contractors to find work and grow their business.

One important fact is nearly always overlooked in the classification debate: The IRS says independent contractors comply with tax laws at virtually the same rate as employees in traditional work roles.

New Mexico’s House Bill 91 (the employee Fair Classification Act), introduced in 2012 by Rep. Eleanor Chavez of Albuquerque’s South Valley, aimed to protect the rights of workers improperly classified as independent contractors and to fight fraud by employers who misclassify employees to evade taxes that states need to provide public services.

The bill wouldn’t have legislated an end to the use of independent contractors, but It’s My Business fears that would have been an unintended consequence had it passed, as businesses would have concluded it was too risky to delegate work to independents. The bill would have placed greater burdens on businesses that hire independent contractors by creating the presumption of employee status and requiring businesses to establish independent contractor status by a preponderance of evidence.

Disputes over worker status would have been decided at civil trial under the proposed legislation. If convicted of misclassifying an employee, a company would have had to pay compensatory damages equal to double the salary or compensation the plaintiff would have earned as an employee. The potential for abuse by a disgruntled contractor would have made many companies think twice before engaging an independent contractor.

Most companies that depend on independent contractors understand their liability for misclassification and duly document how they’re complying with the law. Rather than imposing stricter regulations on businesses that are playing by the rules — and creating uncertainty in the lives of tens of millions of independent contractors across the nation — It’s My Business believes governments should do a better job enforcing existing federal laws against misclassification.

Independent contractors such as graphic artists, website developers and financial consultants offer businesses a way to get work done when hiring an employee is not feasible. And contractor arrangements are a way for individuals to start their own businesses and create jobs for others.

quickly. He contacted that manager, Jerry Jones, who coordinated tenant inquiries with the owners, an Albuquerque family. But he didn’t hear anything for weeks, until the owners’ representative called him, asking how serious he was about moving forward.

Malouf believes it didn’t hurt that he had already established contact and shared the same vision as Packard’s for the Plaza location, which sits across from the historic La Fonda.

The initial lease is for 10 years but can be renewed, so Malouf is hoping he and his family might have a home on the Plaza for a long time, which is also part of the tradition — Frank Packard opened a retail store at the

location in 1944.

The rush to open Thanksgiving week has pushed much of the store redesign work to the spring, but Karen Malouf promises a new look that honors the old traditions.

“This is not a retail cookie-cutter situation. The way the Lubbock store looks works there,” she said, “and what we’ll do here will enhance the stature and historical significance of this building.”

Malouf’s on the Plaza will be open seven days a week, with winter hours 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

800-340-9771. For directions to the State Bar center, call 505-797-6000.

Holiday sales are expected to rise again this year, but a shorter shopping season and uncertainty about ongoing congressional budget battles might cut into that growth, according to a New Mexico State University researcher.

“I think we can expect a positive but flattening trend in holiday sales growth this year,” said Bruce Huhmann, an associate professor of marketing at NMSU’s College of Business.

Huhmann’s forecast for New Mexico retailers is a 1.7 percent increase in holiday sales. Nationally, he predicts a 2 percent increase in fourth-quarter sales on general merchandise, apparel, furniture and other non-auto or food retail sales. That’s a smaller increase than recent years: In 2011, sales grew by 4 percent, and in 2012, they were up by 3 percent.

“Holiday sales during October, November and December can represent up to 40 percent or more of annual sales,” he said. “These sales also produce a third of the retail industry’s profits.”

Other forecasters have a more optimistic estimate of what to expect, with many industry groups indicating a 2.4 percent to 4 percent increase. The National Retail Federation, the world’s largest retail trade association, expects more shoppers will make holiday purchases, but they will spend less per person.

LOOKING IN: MAURY CASTRO

Why Linda Lopez for governor?

W

hy Linda Lopez for governor when we already have another Hispanic woman in Santa Fe? My personal answer to that question — as a Hispanic male and as a responsible voter — is a no-brainer.

On one hand, we have Susana Martinez, who emerged from modest Texas roots in El Paso to become leader of the most unique state in the United States, an accomplishment to be lauded regardless of party. She represents the American dream for most working-class people and millions of Hispanic men and women. Yet, lately, that dream is fading, thanks to many of the deep-pocketed right-wing, special-interest groups that now call Susana their friend.

And on the other hand, we have Sen. Linda Lopez, whose record in public office has never strayed from representing the common New Mexican.

The wealthy and the neo-cons have rooted themselves deep into key sections of our government, and their minions in power include Susana. Our governor has sided with the Koch brothers and other billionaires determined to win their relentless war on the working class. (According to a recent report, she has already compiled $3.3 million for her campaign war chest,

and there are millions more in other darkmoney campaigns that support her.) This doesn’t bode well for her to again win the common vote for a second term because she has clearly demonstrated that she doesn’t have the everyday New Mexican’s best interests at heart.

Why Sen. Linda Lopez? Because this classy, educated and experienced lady from humble beginnings has proven her mettle in 17 years of public service to New Mexico.

She has accomplished many things in the Legislature, fought for the right causes and for the right reasons, and always champions the common citizen. During this time, she has been tested and has remained true to her convictions. Highly acclaimed author Greg Palast, in his New York Times best-seller Armed Madhouse, recognizes her courage and integrity. In reference to former Gov. Bill Richardson’s push for a “phony reform law” and Lopez’s courageous stance against it, Palast writes: “On his phony reform law, Richardson was called out by a fellow Democrat, State Senator Linda Lopez — an act of indiscreet defiance that would not be forgotten by the governor’s circle.”

Ironically, former Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, Gov. Martinez’s opponent in the last gov-

ernor’s race, lost because of her perceived close ties to a tarnished Richardson. Sen. Lopez cannot be accused of such, and her record supports this. At one time during his term, a then-popular Richardson enjoyed unflinching support from most of his fellow Democrats at the state Capitol, while Lopez had the audacity to question some of his pet projects and the courage to stand up to the often rambunctious governor.

State Sen. Howie Morales and Lawrence Rael, two highly qualified candidates, also have entered the gubernatorial race, turning it into an interesting contest that also includes Attorney General Gary King and another opponent, Alan Webber, who moved to the state 10 years ago. This being said, I highly recommend Sen. Linda Lopez for a mano a mano with Gov. Susana Martinez in the general election, because Lopez is the only candidate with a record of truly standing up for the rank-and-file New Mexican while defying the questionable actions of those in power.

Santa Fe driver charged with homicide after passenger dies, Nov. 19 So, if someone falls out of my car and I’m under “ the legal alcohol limit, I’m going to be charged with killing them? Is there more to this story?” C.G.M. Yes, you could be charged for killing them if they “ die. Yes, it’s called ‘responsibility.’ You are responsible for making sure your passengers are wearing seat belts. As for being slightly less drunk than the legal limit, don’t worry about that. Over the limit, under the limit, drinking and driving is a contact sport in New Mexico. The only thing missing from this sport is sponsorship and colorful jerseys. Since the Legislature does not have the backbone to take drinking and driving seriously and actually put teeth in making it illegal, perhaps it will sponsor teams with the necessary tools and supplies to effectively compete.”

Keep education decisions close to home

H

ow do we grapple with our state’s failing education system? By we, I don’t mean the policymakers or state officials. I mean, we the parents, grandparents, students, neighbors and community members. By we, I mean New Mexicans.

Albert O. Hirschman is the author of Exit, Voice, and Loyalty. It is a classic economics book that has interesting implications when considered alongside public education in New Mexico — something we all need to bear in mind with New Mexico’s recent fall to bitter last in the nation for child welfare. Hirschman explores why some institutions are better able to adapt to the needs of their participants than others. One of the chief factors of success has to do with a sense of loyalty and “voice.” If we do not feel loyalty toward our schools, churches or communities, we “exit” to find new ones more suited to our needs. If we do have a sense of loyalty — and feel that we have something at stake — we use our “voices” to demand change. It is a straightforward market principle paramount to creating effective schools in our state.

Currently, much of our education reform debate misses Hirschman’s fundamental point: Successful institutions are those in conversation with its members — with its community. Our schools will improve

when the community exercises influence over them.

Imagine the progress we could make if we learned to build a system that responds to the hopes and dreams of the neighbors, parents, employers and students they affect through community influence and decision-making. Our schools and the policies that inform them would directly respond to, support and promote the health and growth of our communities.

Currently, we as New Mexicans have very limited access to the levers of power that create the policies that govern our schools and the way our kids are taught.

Our school bureaucracies are designed to eliminate any chance of failure. Laws are created by the Legislature and governor, policies are set by local boards and district officials create the administrative directives for schools. Our schools are built to follow directions through a command and control structure. Like corporals in the Army, they are excellent at doing what they are told. The fact that students in radically different communities are taught the same thing in the same way is an unintended consequence.

It is unlikely that the state aimed for every student to learn algebra in the same way, regardless of language, culture, environment and learning style. After all, we

all know students and communities differ.

However, the last decade has seen the influence of national education policy steadily increase over our local districts. Our districts have consequentially become the middlemen as a greater distance is wedged between where policy is made and where it is implemented. A single citizen’s influence over school board elections or PTAs cannot compete with this overwhelming trend, but the challenges we have in New Mexico are unique, rooted in the circumstances of our local communities. So, what can we do?

We would be looking at a very different scene if our schools responded to their immediate communities instead of some distant authority. This goal is shared by organizations working for education improvement in the state. The Countdown to Better Schools campaign hosted by the Learning Alliance of New Mexico is a great opportunity to connect our communities to decision makers through sharing education stories and ideas for a relevant education system. It is time for New Mexicans to change the current dynamic by voicing our concerns.

Police actions near Taos an affront to values

L

ike millions of Americans, I have seen the New Mexico State Police’s dashboard video of the incident just south of Taos.

But, while there is a national outrage, I have a much more personal interest in this, as I have visited New Mexico literally hundreds of times, from Clayton in the northeast to Roswell in the southeast to Farmington and Shiprock in the northwest. I have backpacked and camped in Bandelier National Monument, stayed in Santa Fe numerous times to the point of familiarity with local eating and drinking establishments, and have visited and

stayed in the homes of friends in Cloudcroft. Traveling along Interstate 40 on my way to Gallup, I have visited and stayed in Albuquerque. My sister was a mortgage loan banker in Belen. In short, I have been a frequent visitor to your state.

In those frequent visits, I have always appreciated the courtesy and pleasantness of New Mexicans.

But, seeing how the state police acted toward an unarmed woman with her five children has caused me to contemplate whether I want to return to New Mexico.

What I saw in the police’s own video was a juvenile, unprofessional, vicious and prob-

ably illegal attack. The incident, which has received national coverage from Los Angeles to New York, is shocking and should be an embarrassment to the New Mexico State Police.

In my opinion, the officers involved in this fiasco should be immediately suspended and charged. By their actions, they placed innocent children at risk and violated a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. That they are being merely “investigated” is an affront and a violation of American values.

Watch for double-speak to protect Social Security

Inez Russell Gomez Editorial Page Editor

A

mericans do not want cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Polls also show a strong majority opposes lowering corporate taxes.

So what’s a lobbyist on the other side of these issues to do? Why, hire a good PR spinmeister, of course.

George Orwell would be particularly impressed by the doublespeak in statements issued by two giant corporate lobby groups on the current budget debate.

The Business Roundtable, a club for about 200 of America’s most powerful CEOs, calls for “modernizing Medicare and Social Security.”

Gosh, that sounds good. Who doesn’t want to keep up with the times? Similarly, the Fix the Debt campaign, led by 135 CEOs of big companies, urges our leaders to “strengthen health and retirement programs for future retirees and generations” and “save Social Security.” Our nation’s retirement program is wildly popular. Who wouldn’t want it to not only survive but be even stronger? What’s needed here, though, is a budget debate decoder.

When these CEOs talk about “modernizing” and “strengthening,” they mean slashing benefits. For the details of their draconian Social Security and Medicare plans, you need to wade through the Business Roundtable’s January 2013 policy paper.

For example, they want to hike the retirement age to 70 (which would be the world’s highest) and replace the current measure of inflation used to set annual costof-living adjustments. The controversial proposed measure, called “chained CPI,” would gradually shrink Social Security checks so that after 20 years, recipients would be getting about $100 a month

Ray Rivera Editor

OUR VIEW

Refurbishing plaza a worthy venture

C less than with the current measure.

The CEOs who are leading the charge for cuts to Social Security and Medicare have virtually no personal stake in this debate. According to a new report by my organization, the Institute for Policy Studies, and the Center for Effective Government, Business Roundtable CEOs have retirement accounts worth $14.5 million on average. That’s more than 1,200 times as much as the $12,000 median retirement savings of U.S. workers near retirement age.

A sensible way to shore up the retirement system would be to eliminate the cap on wages subject to Social Security taxes. Right now, just the first $113,700 of a person’s income is subject to the tax.

That means the CEOs of the Business Roundtable and Fix the Debt (many of whom are in both groups) pay in just a tiny percentage of their mega-

million-dollar pay packages, compared to ordinary workers.

The doublespeak continues on corporate taxes. A recent Gallup poll shows 66 percent of Americans feel corporations pay “too little” in taxes.

What’s the corporate spinmeister response? First, they try to confuse people by saying our 35 percent corporate tax rate is one of the highest in the world. In reality, big U.S. businesses are so good at dodging the IRS that we have one of the lowest “effective” corporate tax rates. The Congressional Budget Office found that large corporations pay just 12.6 percent of their U.S. income in federal income taxes.

Second, the spinmeisters avoid saying they want lower corporate tax rates. For both the Business Roundtable and Fix the Debt, the preferred slogan is “pro-growth” tax reform. This is code language for cutting rates, based on the

unfounded theory that businesses will automatically pour their tax savings into productive investment. The Congressional Research Service found that a rate cut from 35 percent to 25 percent would dramatically reduce revenue but have no significant impact on U.S. jobs.

Don’t be fooled by the selfinterested doublespeak of big business CEOs. This is the wealthiest nation on Earth.

If we all contribute our fair share, we can ensure a sustainable and healthy economy for future generations — and a dignified retirement for all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

GOP expects different results from same approach

R

epublicans have opposed President Barack Obama from Day One. They have done so blatantly time and again now for five years! First, he was to be a “one-term president.” U.S. Rep. Addison Graves “Joe” Wilson, R-S.C., during a joint session of Congress even yelled at him, “Liar!” They have tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act 41 times.

They have blocked an unprecedented number of nominees just because they were Obama’s. They even shut down the government to try to repeal the Affordable Care Act again — and on and on.

The result is that the work they were elected to do is not being done and Congress’ approval rate is at a historic low.

Einstein is quoted to have said that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results. Generally, I agree with Einstein, but in this case, I am afraid it is plain stupidity!

Obama stated that his goal is to “fundamentally transform” our country (his words).

Throw out Obamacare I notice a lot of attention is being paid to “fix” Obamacare. This is a misdirection. We should be doing our best to get rid of it entirely. First off, it cannot do the job: Professor Gary Wolfram has made it abundantly clear in Hillsdale College Economics 101 that government can’t do the job, whereas free enterprise capitalism has shown it can do so splendidly.

Secondly, it is not being done to improve health care, but rather to acquire power.

Start a dialogue Gun safety is not about the Second Amendment. It is about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals (often such weapons are stolen from unsecured sites or via straw purchases) and the mentally ill. Each average day, 196 Americans are shot and survive with physical and emotional wounds. Eighty-six more die from guns, and 51 of these are suicides.

Studies demonstrate that universal background checks do reduce such tragic events and don’t impact law-abiding “good guys with guns.” Note also that New York City police officers average a 36 percent hit rate in shootouts. The accuracy of excited, civilian vigilantes would certainly be minuscule. Beware, bystanders!

We need dialogue for cultural change to halt this public health/epidemic of gun violence: trigger locks, mandatory training before purchase, conflict resolution seminars in schools, increased funding for mental health programs. “New Mexicans for Gun Safety” are ready. Will the NRA participate?

all us skeptical about proposals to overhaul any portion of Santa Fe’s historic streetscape. History is Santa Fe’s selling point — both for tourists and locals. It is essential to tread lightly in the older parts of downtown.

That’s why the proposition from Jeff Branch’s Columbus Capital to alter the historic adobe compound on West San Francisco and Guadalupe streets caused us to sit up and take notice. Branch’s group wants to take down part of a compound and erect a two-story building in its place. The San Francisco Plaza, as it is known, has been occupied since the 1700s, according to a map by cartographer José de Urrutia. Next to Eldorado Hotel, the plaza is home to Il Vicino and local businesses. The proposal goes before the Historic Districts Review Board on Tuesday after being tabled at its first presentation. The board wanted developers to hire an independent consultant to examine the history of the San Francisco Plaza. They have done so and will come before the board with more information about the place they hope to change.

Walking around San Francisco Plaza last week, it’s clear that the project is not a case of a rash developer intent on crushing history, resulting in buildings that would add to Santa Fe’s growing faux-adobe ambiance.

On one side, there is the worthy mass and bulk of the building housing Il Vicino. That structure is considered “significant” and is believed to have been built in the late 1800s, with additions in the 1920s. There is a definite sense of tradition in this place, with classic thick adobe walls and deep-set windows. The structure adds authenticity to Santa Fe. Tearing down or remodeling it is out of the question, but that is not part of the developer’s proposal.

Across the patio, Xeriscaped where once-lush grass covered the ground, is the building that once held a Japanese restaurant. While still adobe, the building would be remodeled under the proposal. Going on down San Francisco, there’s Ellie’s Yoberry Park Frozen Yogurt & Gallery, The Good Stuff, Thai Café and The Spanish Table. Behind each of these shops is a veritable rabbit warren of rooms, badly in need of refurbishing and work. According to developer Branch, the building that held the Japanese restaurant would be altered the least. However, the newer buildings attached to it in back would be torn down, as would the buildings holding The Spanish Table. In the new, second-story building that would be going up, he plans to build four condominiums.

Down below those condos, the notion is to revive the courtyard, with a spot for diners and passers-by that would bustle with life and activity. On the street side, the Il Vicino building would remain unchanged, but along West San Francisco to Guadalupe, the building would be set back so that a portal covering the sidewalk would be built. This would change the street to make it more inviting and walkable, never a bad thing.

On the whole, we think Branch’s ideas deserve to be approved. The city should ensure, of course, that the significant building remains untouched and work to preserve as much of the older building across the courtyard as possible. It would be good, too, if the project included energysavings and green features.

As the board considers its decision, it should remember, too, that history is of little use if the buildings are falling down about us. Eliminating the maze of rooms across from Il Vicino will improve that corner of Santa Fe for local businesses and for the people who someday will enjoy the courtyard on a moonlit night. Branch bought the property in 2011, so he is moving quickly to improve the buildings.

By keeping intact what matters and fixing what needs improvement, the redo of the San Francisco Plaza has the potential to make Santa Fe more inviting. It’s encouraging, in fact, to see a developer want to invest so much money in making downtown better. Investment on this scale means the business district is growing healthier. That’s good for all of Santa Fe, not just downtown.

Bulls star Rose to miss season after knee injury

49ers break 2-game slump

Northern New Mexico basketball 2013-2014

2011 MVP undergoes surgery to repair torn medial meniscus

San Francisco, QB Kaepernick ease past Washington, RG3

By Andrew Seligman The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Bulls star Derrick Rose is out for the remainder of the season.

The team said that Rose had successful surgery Monday morning in Chicago to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. He was hurt Friday night at Portland.

The 2011 NBA MVP missed all of last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Chicago’s 2012 playoff opener against Philadelphia. He has played in just 50 NBA games Derrick Rose — 49 in the regular season and that lone playoff game — since the Bulls’ run to the Eastern Conference finals during his MVP season.

The latest injury occurred in the third quarter against the Trail Blazers.

He lost his footing while trying to change direction to get back on defense when Nicolas Batum stole a pass from Joakim Noah and started the other way. Rose limped across the court and couldn’t put any weight on his knee.

After the Blazers scored, he came out of the game during a timeout.

It didn’t appear there was any contact on the play. Rose was unable to return and was on crutches afterward.

With Rose back, the Bulls were expected to challenge LeBron James and the Miami Heat for supremacy in the Eastern Conference and contend for their first championship since the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen era. Instead, they’re in a familiar spot — trying to get by without their cornerstone player.

“We, of course, feel very badly for Derrick. He’s in good spirits, about as well as can be expected under the circumstances, and he’s already thinking about his rehab,” coach Tom Thibodeau said Sunday, before the team announced their star was gone for the season.

“Typical Derrick. He’s concerned about his team, his teammates.”

Michigan St. eyeing longest stay at No. 1

By Jim O’Connell The Associated Press

Breaking down this week’s Associated Press college basketball poll: Spartan streak: Michigan State’s only game this week is Friday against Mount St. Mary’s. If the heavily favored Spartans win they will have their longest run ever at the top of The Associated Press’ college basketball poll.

This is Michigan State’s third stint at No. 1 and the previous two lasted two weeks, the length the Spartans have been on top this time.

The previous two appearances at the top were in 1978-79, a national championship season, and 2000-01, when Michigan State reached the Final Four as defending national champion.

Newcomers: Iowa and Massachusetts are the new teams in this week’s poll at Nos. 23 and 24, respectively.

The Hawkeyes (5-0) beat Penn 86-55 in their only game last week. They are ranked for the first time since the final poll of 2005-06.

The Minutemen (6-0) won the Charleston Classic by beating Nebraska, then-No. 19 New Mexico and Clemson. They moved into the rankings for the first time since the first regular-season poll of 1998-99, three years after the school’s only Final Four appearance when John Calipari was the coach and Marcus Camby was the All-America center. One of the guards on that team was current UMass coach Derek Kellogg.

Quick visit: VCU moved into the Top 10 last week for the first time. Not only was the Rams’ stint there a quick one, they fell out the Top 25 after losing twice in the Puerto Rico Tip-off. VCU (4-2) lost to Florida State 85-67 in the opening round and 84-80 to Georgetown in the fifth-place game. In between, they did beat Long Beach State 73-67 in the consolation semifinals.

LANDOVER, Md. — If Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III have become the future of 49ers 27 football sudRedskins 6 denly put on hold, consider Kaepernick the one more likely to get going again.

The young, mobile quarterbacks who have struggled in 2013 after breakout years in 2012 faced off for the first time Monday night, and Kaepernick clearly outperformed his counterpart as the San Francisco 49ers broke a twogame losing streak with a 27-6 win over the Washington Redskins.

Kaepernick completed 15 of 24 passes for 235 yards — the first time in five games he’s topped 200 yards — with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

The Redskins bottled up Frank Gore (13 carries, 31 yards), essentially daring Kaepernick to throw the ball, and the QB responded by showing some veteran-like chemistry with veteran Anquan Boldin.

Boldin finished with five catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns — a 19-yard grab at the pylon in the first quarter and a 6-yard, wide-open-in-the-endzone reception in the third.

Vernon Davis also had a touchdown catch for the 49ers (7-4), who are tied for second with the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West and are three games back of the Seattle Seahawks with five to play.

A loss would’ve put the defending NFC champions in trouble in their quest to return to the playoffs, but they’re nowhere as bad off as the Redskins (3-8), who have dropped three straight and sit alone in last place in the NFC East a year after a late-season run that won the division.

Kaepernick and Griffin seemed poised to take the quarterback position to a new dimension last season when they wowed the NFL with their mobility when running zone-read and play-action.

But defenses have adjusted, and the two QBs’ stats have tumbled accordingly when they’ve been forced to throw in conventional drop-back situations.

Griffin’s fall has been more precipitous. He threw his 11th interception Monday night, more than twice the number he had all last season.

He completed 17 of 27 passes for 127 yards and was sacked four times, and Washington tallied only 190 total yards. RG3’s throws were off-target, and the Redskins were again the victim of question-

Lady Braves embark on transition year with new head coach

here’s a difference in the Pueblo Pavilion this year.

Amid the thumping sound of basketballs on the hardwood and squeaking high-tops from baseline to baseline, there’s a palpable difference in the air inside the multimillion dollar high school gymnasium.

“There’s not as much yelling,” says Kayla Joe, one of the few players with quality varsity experience on this year’s Santa Fe Indian School girls basketball team. “I guess you could say it was stress because of all the

yelling. Coach was trying to keep the team in place. It’s more fun this year. Quieter.”

SFIS is in something of a transition year as much of last season’s team is no longer with the school. It starts at the top; gone is Cindy Roybal, the brash and often outspoken (and apparent yeller) former head coach who led the Lady Braves to Class AAA state championships in 2010 and 2011.

In her place is her longtime assistant, Jo Jo Valdez.

Roybal followed through on seemingly annual threats to retire when she made an official announcement about her immediate future in the most recent offseason. To date,

cuse tallied 10 straight points.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Lenzelle Smith Jr. scored 20 points, and Aaron Craft had Ohio State 65 all 10 of his Wyoming 50 points in a second-half surge to lead Ohio State past Wyoming.

Craft was scoreless and having a forgettable game until he began driving and scored 10 of the Buckeyes’ 13 points during a 13-4 run that turned the tide.

Amir Williams added 12 points and a career-high 16 rebounds — six more than his previous best — for Ohio State (5-0).

Larry Nance Jr., son of the former Cleveland Cavaliers star, had 17 points and 12 rebounds despite heavy foul trouble for the Cowboys (4-2).

NO. 12 WICHITA STATE 90, DEPAUL 72 In Kansas City, Mo., Ron Baker scored 21 points, Tekele Cotton added 17, and No. 12 Wichita State seized control against DePaul with a big firsthalf run before cruising to a victory in the semifinals of the CBE Classic.

Cleanthony Early added 15 points for the Shockers (6-0), who knocked off the Blue Demons last year during a tournament in Cancun before marching all the way to the Final Four.

They’re proving that inspired NCAA Tournament run was no fluke, either. Wichita State has barely been tested this season, though that should change Tuesday night. The Shockers will face BYU, which held off Texas 86-82 earlier in the night, in the tournament title game.

Brandon Young had 16 points, and Tommy Hamilton scored 14 for DePaul (3-2), which has lost 44 consecutive games against Top 25 teams since beating Villanova in 2008.

OKLAHOMA STATE 93, SOUTH FLORIDA 67 Tampa, Fla., Marcus Smart and Markel Brown scored 25 points apiece, leading Oklahoma State to a victory over South Florida.

The Cowboys (5-0) were barely tested in the earlyseason matchup of unbeaten teams.

There were eight lead changes in the opening minutes, however Smart put a big exclamation mark on a 23-point opening-half with a buzzerbeating shot from beyond halfcourt to put Oklahoma State up by 16 at halftime.

That was as close as South Florida (4-1) would get the rest of the way.

John Egbunu led USF with 15 points and eight rebounds.

Victor Rudd had 14 points and Chris Perry finished with 10.

The Orange (5-0) pushed through a late run by the Golden Gophers, who pulled within 67-65 with little more than two minutes left.

But Minnesota (5-1) committed four turnovers in the final two minutes, scoring only

once more when Austin Hollins hit a meaningless layup in the game’s final moments.

Trevor Cooney scores 15 points all on 3-pointers, while Tyler Ennis and Jerami Grant scored 12 points each.

Malik Smith had 16 points for Minnesota.

Syracuse led by only three points at halftime. But the Orange started the second half with a 13-2 run mostly led by Fair, who hit two jumpers, two free throws and a tip-in as Syra-

The Gators (5-1) won their fourth consecutive game following a loss at 10th-ranked Wisconsin two weeks ago. The latest victory was a final tuneup before the team’s toughest stretch of the season — games against Florida State, Connecticut, Kansas and Memphis.

It should help that point guard Scottie Wilbekin has returned to the rotation. Coach Billy Donovan even started the senior, who was suspended the

first five games of the season and an exhibition contest for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

Wilbekin finished with 12 points, seven assists, five rebounds and just two turnovers. Dorian FinneySmith added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the visitors. Patric Young chipped in 13 points.

Four players besides Franklin scored in double figures for the Bears (5-0), who put the game away in the second half after going into halftime with a three-point lead.

Cory Jefferson had 15 points and nine rebounds, including an alley-oop and layup early in the second half that gave Baylor its first double-digit lead over Chaminade (2-1).

NO. 17 IOWA STATE 110, UMKC 51 In Ames, Iowa, DeAndre Kane had 20 points and eight rebounds, and Iowa State trounced Missouri-Kansas City for its fifth straight win.

Sherron Dorsey-Walker added 17 points for the Cyclones (5-0), who used a 27-0 run midway through the first half to put away the Kangaroos.

Iowa State, which was hosting a game as a ranked team for the first time in eight years, held UMKC scoreless for 7½ minutes and led 52-17 at halftime.

The Cyclones also finished with their most points under fourth-year coach Fred Hoiberg.

Martez Harrison had 14 points to lead UMKC (1-4). The Kangaroos shot just 29.5 percent and lost for the third time in four games.

ARIZONA STATE 79, NO. 25 MARQUETTE 77 In Tempe, Ariz., Jahii Carson scored 23 points, and Jordan Bachynski swatted Derrick Wilson’s runner at the buzzer for his seventh block, helping Arizona State knock off Marquette to remain undefeated.

The Sun Devils (6-0) led by 15 in the first half, but had to withstand a late rally by the Golden Eagles.

With Arizona State leading 78-77, Jermaine Marshall hit one of two free throws with 7 seconds left, giving Marquette (3-2) a final shot.

Wilson managed to get into the lane, but the 7-foot-2 Bachynski roamed across the lane to knock the ball away, then was swarmed by teammates on the floor.

Bachynski had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Marshall had 23 points for Arizona State, off to its best start since opening the 1980-81 season with seven straight wins.

Playing without injured leading scorer Todd Mayo, the Golden Eagles erased a 10-point halftime deficit and fought their way back behind Jake Thomas, who scored all 16 of his points in the second half. Davante Gardner had 18 and Wilson scored 12 with seven assists.

Manning continues to struggle in cold

Northern New Mexico

Denver QB now 8-11 in temps 40 or below

SCOREBOARD

Local results and schedules

The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Red-faced and bundled on the sideline in a parka and stocking cap, Peyton Manning looked nothing the part of the cold-weather quarterback.

From a numbers perspective, he isn’t.

His 19-for-36, 150-yard performance in a 6-degree wind chill at New England showed it, as does his unflattering record.

After Denver’s 34-31 overtime loss Sunday, Manning is now 8-11 when the temperature is 40 or below.

“It’s always a possibility these last months of the season, and then you’re potentially in the postseason,” Manning said of the idea that this might not be the last time he and the Broncos are faced with frigid temperatures. “So, I think the more you can be in it, the better off you can be.”

If practice makes perfect, Manning certainly hasn’t had much of it. He played most of his career in a temperature-controlled dome. He has played only 19 of 255 career games in the cold, including three with the Broncos, during which he’s used his new, cold-weather glove.

That small sample size still produces a season’s worth of numbers. Manning’s passer rating in the cold games: 83.1. His passer rating in all the other games: 97.0. His .421 winning percentage in cold-weather games is .273 lower than in the others.

Still, Broncos interim coach Jack Del Rio, who defended Manning as a cold-weather quarterback last week, said there was no concerted effort to limit his 37-year-old quarterback’s attempts in a game that started at 22 degrees with a 22 mph wind.

“Our approach was, do the things we thought we could to move the football to best utilize our guys against what they were trying to do,” Del Rio said.

Specifically, he said, the Patriots were dropping eight and nine players into coverage, challenging Manning to either throw short or hand the ball off. Knowshon Moreno ran 37 times for a careerhigh 224 yards and that plan meshed with what the coaching staff has been preach-

ing the last two weeks — that the Broncos need to pound the ball more with the cold weather moving in.

“I think it is more important that the ratio between run and pass is closer to being balanced,” offensive line coach Dave Magazu said last week. “It keeps them honest.”

Even though the plan worked, at least from a statistics perspective, Denver blew a 24-0 lead. Ultimately, the strategy played against the reason the Broncos acquired Manning: So they could have the ultimate playmaker in their corner, not someone who hands off a lot and tries to keep things close.

“We’ve got one of the great quarterbacks of all time, and he’s got great weapons out there,” Del Rio said. “It was a blustery night that challenged some of those parts, but I thought we excelled at doing some of the things we wanted to in those conditions.”

Manning was at his best late in the fourth quarter, when he completed 5 of 7 passes in leading the Broncos 80 yards for the tying touchdown. He made two

throws very few quarterbacks can make: An 11-yard pass to Jacob Tamme fit inside a sliver of daylight on third-and-5; and a back-shoulder touchdown throw to Demaryius Thomas that also went into an impossibly tight window.

Still, for most of the night, Manning looked uncomfortable and out of sorts both on the sideline and on the field — a marked contrast to Tom Brady, who wore less and celebrated more, including a screaming helmet bump with Rob Gronkowski after they connected for a touchdown that pulled the Patriots within 24-21.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick felt so good about his defense’s chances, he elected to take the wind instead of the ball after winning the coin flip in overtime.

Manning’s OT stats: 2 for 5 for 16 yards.

The Broncos couldn’t get past the New England 37 — not close enough for a field goal attempt going into the wind.

“All we needed was like five yards on that last play in order to give [Matt] Prater a field goal attempt and we couldn’t get that,” Manning said. “It was a very disappointing finish to the game for sure.”

Muschamp still believes in woeful Gators

By Mark Long The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Despite the worst loss in school history and the first losing season in more than three decades, Florida coach Will Muschamp doesn’t feel like he has a rebuilding project on his hands.

Muschamp, who will return in 2014, said winning the Southeastern Conference’s Eastern Division and getting to Atlanta is “absolutely” possible next season.

It sounded a little ambitious for a team that has dropped six consecutive games — the program’s longest losing streak since 1979 — and lost 26-20 to lower-division Georgia Southern on Saturday.

But Muschamp insisted the Gators (4-7), who finish the season Saturday against No. 2 Florida State (11-0), can rebound quickly.

“I don’t believe we’re that far off,” he said Monday. “Regardless of the results Saturday afternoon, which is all disappointing for everyone, starting with me, I just don’t feel like we’re that far off.”

When asked about his job security, Muschamp said he “absolutely” will be around next season. Athletic director Jeremy Foley made that clear two weeks ago, saying he was “a thousand percent convinced that Will Muschamp is the guy to lead this football program.” School President Bernie Machen echoed those sentiments.

Many outsiders hoped that would change following Saturday’s loss to Georgia Southern — a middle-of-the-pack program from the Football Championship Subdivision — but the Gators are moving forward with Will Muschamp.

Muschamp “There’s some obvious reasons why we are where we are,” Muschamp said. “We’re a team that won 11 games last year, and I don’t think that happened by accident. We have a really good football staff. We have some good players on our football team.

We’re going to have a good football team moving forward.”

Muschamp likely will make staff changes, though.

Offensive coordinator Brent Pease and offensive line coach Tim Davis are probably gone. The Gators rank 111th in total offense and have been downright woeful on the line.

“There’s no changes that have been made at this time,” Muschamp said. “I’m not ready to make any statement on that at this point. We’re still playing out the season, and those guys are going to coach their butts off. I’ll make that decision when I think it’s right.”

Injuries have been a contributing factor for Florida’s struggles. Quarterback Jeff

Driskel, running back Matt Jones, defensive tackle Dominique Easley and right tackle Chaz Green are among the 10 players sidelined with season-ending injuries.

Several others have missed significant time. Backup quarterback Tyler Murphy (shoulder) is unlikely to play against FSU. So are left tackle D.J. Humphries (knee) and linebackers Mike Taylor (knee) and Alex Anzalone (shoulder).

But many wonder how Florida — even with backups — can have the worst offense in the SEC and lose to Vanderbilt by 17 points and to Georgia Southern.

“I don’t know why that’s happened to us,” receiver Solomon Patton said.

Added safety Jaylen Watkins: “We just have to focus on Florida and try to get back to where we used to be.”

Muschamp is 22-15 in Gainesville, including 13-11 in conference play. And Florida’s three SEC wins this season came against Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas — teams that are breaking in new coaches and have a combined 1-21 record in league play.

But Muschamp believes his team is close to competing for a title.

“I think there’s some key components for our football team that aren’t playing for us right now,” he said. “And we’re very thin in some areas. It is what it is. I’m not making excuses. That’s just the facts, and it’s real.

Longest: New Mexico falls from ranks Continued from Page B-1 Also gone: New Mexico, which was ranked 19th, was the other team to fall from the ranks of the ranked. The Lobos (4-1) beat UAB 97-94 in double overtime in the opening round of the Charleston Classic then lost 81-65 to Massachusetts in the semifinals. They did come back for a 79-58 victory over Davidson in the third-place game. New Mexico had been ranked for the last 12 weeks of 2012-13 and the first three polls of this season.

Conference race: Iowa moving into the poll gave the Big Ten five ranked teams, breaking the tie for the top spot with the Big 12.

The Pac-12, Atlantic Coast Conference and first-year American Athletic Conference remained tied for third with three teams each. Massachusetts replaced fellow Atlantic 10 team VCU as that conference’s lone representative in the Top 25.

New Mexico, the other team to fall out of the poll this week, was the only ranked team from the Mountain West Conference.

Double-ranked games: There aren’t any scheduled Top 25 matchups this week but there could be six if things fall the right way in some holiday tournaments.

The EA Sports Maui Invitational could have one in the semifinals if Baylor and Gonzaga win their first-round games and the winner of that could meet Syracuse in Wednesday’s championship game.

Friday’s title game of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Madison Square Garden could be a top 10 matchup of Arizona and Duke if they win in the semifinals.

The Battle 4 Atlantis’ championship game on Saturday could be Kansas against Top 25 newcomer Iowa.

There could be two ranked matchups on Sunday.

The Old Spice Classic title game could be Oklahoma State meeting Memphis, a game that took place in Stillwater, Okla., last week and was a 101-80 victory for the home team.

The Wooden Legacy in Fullerton, Calif., could have an All-Big East championship game of Marquette against Creighton.

Teams from the same conference aren’t in the same in-season tournaments but fields are set at least a year in advance and Creighton moved from the Missouri Valley to the Big East during the summer.

The same thing could happen in the Battle 4 Atlantis where Xavier, which moved from the Atlantic 10 to the Big East in the summer, might face Villanova.

Winning streak: Defending national champion Louisville had its 21-game winning streak snapped by North Carolina in the title game of the Hall of Fame Classic.

The longest winning streak now belongs to Baylor, which closed last season with five wins in the NIT and has won its first four games this season.

Rise and fall: North Carolina’s win over Louisville was the impetus for the week’s biggest climb in the rankings — the Tar Heels jumped from No. 24 to No. 16.

The biggest drop was Memphis’ fall from No. 11 to No. 21 after the Tigers’ 101-80 loss at Oklahoma State.

Break: Shanahan’s future unclear Continued from Page B-1 able clock management, including a timeout that was called while the clock was already stopped on a hurry-up drive in the final minute of the first half.

The 49ers led 10-6 at the half, and the Redskins had their best chance to take the lead when they took over in San Francisco territory after a fumble on the opening drive of the third quarter.

But, on a fourth-and-2 at the 41, Washington gave the ball to backup tailback Roy Helu, who was stopped short of the first down.

The 49ers took over and drove for a score that gave them a double-digit lead for good, with Kaepernick

and Boldin hurdling into each other for a celebratory chest-bump after the 6-yard touchdown pass.

There would be no such celebrations for Griffin, who took some flak last week from teammate Santana Moss for not taking enough responsibility for mistakes.

There’s plenty of blame to go around for everyone after the game, including some for coach Mike Shanahan, whose future is unclear as his team heads for a third last-place finish in his four years in Washington.

Griffin’s interception came on the final play of the first quarter, when he unwisely unloaded while being decked by Aldon Smith.

BOYS

WEST LAS VEGAS

DISTRICT 2AAA POJOAQUE VALLEY 2012-13 record: 21-10, 7-1 2AAA. Lost to Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory 45-36 in the Class AAA quarterfinals.

Head coach: Joey Truijillo (10th season) Top players: Matthew Herrera, Sr., forward, 6-foot-3; John Ainsworth Jr., Sr., forward, 6-1; Anthony Rodriguez, Jr., guard, 5-7; Adan Lopez, Jr., wing, 6-0; Chris Martinez, Jr., guard, 5-9; Ryan Maestas, Jr., wing, 5-10.

Overview: This is as talented a group that Trujillo has had in his 10 years at Pojoaque — including the 2007-08 championship team. But the key to the Elks’ success will not come from talent alone. It will be about accepting roles — both players and parents.

“We have the potential to do some good things,” Trujillo said. “It’s just going to all come down to if we are going to be good teammates or not.”

On the floor, Herrera is a good shooter with length; Ainsworth brings toughness and muscle into the paint; and Rodriguez is one of the quickest guards in AAA. Trujillo likes the workman-like attitude from the players coming up form the junior varsity, and he is not afraid of using all 13 players at his disposal. If it comes together, the Elks can make a deep run into March.

TAOS 2012-13 record: 19-11, 7-1 2AAA. Lost to Lovington 45-41 in the first round of the Class AAA State Tournament.

Head coach: Daniel Trujillo (fourth season) Top players: Estevan Garcia, Sr., guard, 5-foot-10; Kyle Willis, Sr., wing, 6-1; Jesse Webber, Sr., forward, 6-3; Lorenzo Rael, Jr., guard, 5-9; Shane Willis, Sr., center, 6-4.

Overview: The Tigers lost only two players to graduation, although Kiko Martinez was a key piece to their success last season. Still, Trujillo believes he has a more well-rounded group, led by Garcia and Kyle Willis, and some size that might pose problems for teams across the state. The Tigers also are eager to get the sour taste of last season out of their mouths, as they lost three of their last four games and lost to Lovington in the first round of the state tournament.

The other X factor will be the football team, which is still in the playoffs. If Rael, Isaac Gonzales and Larry Martinez opt to play basketball, that adds some guard and wing depth, plus gives the Tigers more of a winning attitude that is perme-

2012-13 record: 9-19, 3-5 2AAA. Lost to Portales 62-51 in the first round of the Class AAA State Tournament.

Head coach: David Bustos (first season) Top players: Sebastian Bustos, Sr., forward, 6-foot-2; Andres Gallegos, Jr., forward, 6-2; Martin Castellano, Jr., guard, 5-10; Miguel Sena, So., guard, 5-9; D.J. Bustos, Fr., wing, 6-2.

Overview: The Dons’ outlook has two scenarios: One with Cody Najar, who transferred from Mora a month ago and is trying to become eligible; and one without him. With Najar, the Dons have a potent one-two combo with D.J. Bustos, who started as an eighth-grader and is coach Bustos’ son. It also would give West Las Vegas a bigger lineup, with all but one starter over 6-0.

Without him, Bustos assumes more of the scoring load, but West Las Vegas has some young talent around him, with Gallegos, Sena and Castellano. Coach Bustos didn’t have any time in the summer to teach the Dons his system, so they will be learning on the go. The district is loaded with Pojoaque and Taos, but the Dons are capable of making this a threeteam race for the top spot in the district.

LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON 2012-13 record: 12-16, 3-5 2AAA. Lost to Silver 66-49 in the first round of the Class AAA State Tournament.

Head coach: Manuel Romero (second season) Top players: Ricardo Martinez, Sr., forward, 6-foot-3; Keith Romero, Sr., wing, 6-0; Brandon Trujillo, Sr., guard, 5-9; Nathan Archuleta, Jr., guard, 5-7; Francisco Arguello, So., forward, 5-11.

Overview: It’s just like the old days at Las Vegas Robertson: The basketball team that suits up for the first two weeks of the season won’t be the same once football season is over. The Cardinals’ upset in the AAA quarterfinals means Romero has to wait another week for his entire roster to be available. He’ll have Martinez and son Keith Romero to handle the reigns in the meantime. Keith Romero has worked on improving his overall game to help take up the scoring load left by the graduation of forwards Joe Mascarenas and Ryan Tafoya.

Trujillo and Archuleta will give some strength and depth to the backcourt, while Arguello adds some muscle in the frontcourt. Coach Romero feels his team matches up better with the rest of the district, especially in the backcourt.

The Cardinals will be competitive, but whether they can win the district will be determined by who can pick up the scoring slack.

GIRLS DISTRICT 2AAA POJOAQUE VALLEY 2012-13 record: 14-15, 5-3 2AAA. Lost to Santa Fe Indian School 51-41 in the Class AAA quarterfinals Head coach: Ron Drake (second season) Top players: Cheyenne Law, Sr., post, 6-foot-0; Leslie Gutierrez, Sr., guard, 5-2; Amber Skye Lujan, Sr., wing, 5-5, Veronica Dominguez, Jr., guard, 5-6; Aaliya Casados, So., wing, 5-6.

Overview: The Elkettes are making the transition from the Cheyenne-Cordova Era. Gutierrez and Dominguez will play big parts in making that transition smoother. Law will be a force in the paint, as soon as she trades in her volleyball legs for basketball ones.

While the Elkettes have seven seniors, they have a blend of youth that is learning how to play on the varsity level. If the underlcassmen step up, it could be a strong year for Pojoaque.

ALEXANDRA GROENEWOLD, ST. MICHAEL’S Groenewold is making a triumphant return to basketball after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus last December. After scoring 17 points against Pecos the day before she went down, her presence was sorely missed.

Look for her to be a go-to weapon for point guard Cristiana Gabaldon this season.

KAYLA JOE, SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL Joe will be instrumental in helping first-year head coach Jo Jo Valdez maintain the standard that Cindy Roybal set for the Lady Braves. She, as well as senior guard Victoria Lovato, will be in charge of running an offense that is looking for the school’s first state championship in three years.

CHEYENNE LAW, POJOAQUE VALLEY The 6-footer made herself known in last year’s state tournament by scoring 15 points and grabbing eight rebounds in a first-round win over Thoreau. As a senior, her teammates will be looking for big production from her in the paint.

She is just one of seven seniors that will be looking to get further into the state tournament.

CELESTE TRUJILLO, WEST LAS VEGAS Trujillo had a key steal to upset Pojoaque Valley in last year’s District 2AAA tournament to set them up with Taos in the championship game. She averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game in 2012-13.

Like last year, she will be paramount in the Lady Dons’ attempt to take out the Lady Tigers as the district champions. Barely a junior, she still brings a lot of experience back to West Las Vegas.

2012-13 record: 20-8, 7-1 2AAA. Lost to Shiprock 52-34 in the Class AAA quarterfinals.

Head coach: Robert Trujillo (10th season) Top players: Midnight Lujan, So., center, 6-foot-1; Jennifer Branch, Jr., guard, 5-4; Janice Medina, Jr., forward, 5-6; Dazia Cardenas, Sr., 5-8; Feliz Espinosa, Jr., wing, 5-7.

Overview: After a breakthrough season, the Lady Tigers might take a step back with the loss of three starting seniors. They do have Lujan back in the post, but the losses of Marcella Sanchez, Liz Winter and Marisol Martinez makes Taos a bit smaller.

Trujillo expects to use all 13 of his players on the roster early on in the season as he tries to find the right combinations. If he does find the right mixture, the Lady Tigers will be in the mix to repeat as 2AAA champions.

WEST LAS VEGAS 2012-13 record: 17-13, 2-6 District 2AAA. Lost to Shiprock 67-45 in the first round of the Class AAA State Tournament.

Head coach: Jose Medina (11th season) Top players: Shania Gallegos, Sr., center, 5-foot-10; Celeste Trujillo, Jr., wing, 5-9; Joedy Quintana, Jr., guard, 5-5; Deanna Bustos, So., wing, 5-6; Reyna Trujillo, So., forward, 5-10.

Overview: Size won’t be a problem for the Lady Dons this season, with Gallegos and Trujillo returning to the frontcourt. Quintana and Bustos also return in the backcourt, having improved both ball-handling and shooting, which was a weakness at times last season. West Las Vegas made a spirited run through the 2AAA tournament that could serve as a springboard to this season.

This is a team of mostly juniors and sophomores, so if the Lady Dons pick up where it left off in March, they should be the prohibitive favorites in the district this season.

JUSTIN FLORES, ST. MICHAEL’S Flores seems to shine in big moments, as he went 7-for-7 against Silver in the Class AAA quarterfinals last season. The Horsemen are going to need more games like that from Flores, as he is only one of a small group of experienced returners.

The senior is going to have to help a group of young guards navigate what is arguably the toughest district in the state.

2012-13 record: 11-15, 3-5 2AAA. Lost to Socorro 59-46 in the first round of the Class AAA State Tournament.

Head coach: Bea Gallegos (first season) Top players: Abbey Bradley, Sr., wing, 5-foot-9; Santana Aaragon, Sr., 5-6 guard; Alicia Arguello, Jr., forward, 5-8 ; Hannah Lopez, So., post, 5-10; Erica Herrera, Jr., guard, 5-5.

Overview: The Lady Cardinals will be in transition a lot this season — and that’s not just because of their first year under Robertson graduate Bea Gallegos. Because they lack the kind of size to match up with other teams in the district, Gallegos wants her team to run and press to use their speed. Bradley is the team’s best scorer, while Lopez will need to learn quickly after spending last season on the junior varsity.

Gallegos feels she has the depth necessary to push the tempo, which might be a good thing in a district that seems frontcourt-heavy.

KEITH ROMERO, LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON After losing their two best scorers, the Cardinals will be relying a lot on Romero to keep the offense running.

He averaged only 3.8 points a game last season, but he and fellow senior Brandon Trujillo are the biggest contributors coming back.

ESTEVAN GARCIA, TAOS Garcia averaged 9.2 points per game last year to be the Tigers’ leading returner. He will be commanding a team that is looking to get past the quarterfinals of the Class AAA state tournament after they made an early exit last year.

2012-13 record: 19-12, 6-1 5AAA. Lost to Hope Christian 42-29 in Class AAA championship game.

Head coach: Ron Geyer (ninth season) Top players: Justin Flores, Sr., post, 6-foot-3; Kenny Tapia, Sr., post, 6-1; Bradley Vaughn, Jr., guard, 5-7; Chris Lovato, Sr., guard, 6-0; Marcus PincheiraSandoval, Jr., guard, 5-9; Isaiah Dominguez, Sr., post, 6-2.

Overview: After losing 11 seniors, Geyer does not have a lot of experience coming back, especially at the guard position.

But what he lacks at guard he makes up for at the post, as he expects a lot of points to come from Flores and Dominguez.

The Horsemen will again have a hard time competing in a district that has produced the last five state champions, four of them belonging to Albuquerque Hope Christian. Like last year, expect the Huskies or the Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory Sundevils to be roadblocks for the Horsemen in the state tournament.

Overview: Romero believes he has the deepest team he has had in a while with 11 players who can contribute. After losing only two seniors, he also has a lot of experience coming back.

The fact that most of the team just completed either the volleyball or soccer seasob means their speed and strength has not withered.

The youth of the Lady Horsemen should not hinder them, as Gabaldon has been a leader on the team for the last couple years. After finishing at the bottom of the district last year, Romero expects to compete with Albuquerque Hope Christian for the district championship this season.

SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 2012-13 record: 6-21, 0-7 5AAA Head coach: Zack Cole (second season) Top players: Robert Calabaza, Sr., point guard, 5-foot-9; Fransisco Arquero, Jr., shooting guard, 5-9; Francis Calabaza, So., point guard, 5-9.

Overview: Cole is doing everything he can, from having summer workouts to making his players take an early-morning fitness class, to take the program back to its winning ways.

The Braves are a small team, so they will be compensating for a lack of height by applying a lot of pressure on both sides of the ball. While SFIS may not make a splash this year, Cole has a strong group of sophomores on the junior varsity who will make a difference when they move up.

Overview: Valdez has the daunting task of replacing Cindy Roybal, the most successful coach in school history. It gets harder for him as he only has one returning starter in Lovato.

Since he inherits a team with little varsity experience, Valdez has been putting a big emphasis on fundamentals in practice.

The Lady Braves will have little time to grow as they play four games in five days next week, but a rough schedule might toughen them up for district play.

Ginobili scores 16, leads Spurs over Pelicans The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Manu Ginobili had 16 points to lead seven players in double Spurs 112 figures, Pelicans 93 and the San Antonio Spurs beat the New Orleans Pelicans 112-93 on Monday night for their 11th straight victory.

Tony Parker had 14 points and seven assists, Tiago Splitter added 11 points, and Tim Duncan had 10 points for San Antonio (13-1). Reserves Marco Belinelli had 14 points, Boris Diaw added 13 points and Patty Mills 12 to keep the Spurs undefeated at home.

Ryan Anderson had 17 points, Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday each added 12 points, and Anthony Davis had 10 for New Orleans (6-7). The Pelicans, who have lost six straight in San Antonio, had a three-game winning streak snapped.

TRAIL BLAZERS 102, KNICKS 91 In Portland, Ore., LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points and 14 rebounds for his seventh doubledouble this season, and the Trail Blazers beat the slumping Knicks for their 11th straight victory.

Nicolas Batum had 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Blazers, who are riding their longest winning streak since they won 13 straight in December 2007.

The Knicks were headed the opposite direction with six straight losses. Carmelo Anthony had 34 points and 15 rebounds.

The Blazers (13-2) were without guard Mo Williams, who was serving a one-game suspension without pay for his role in a scuffle during Saturday night’s 113-101 victory at Golden State.

JAZZ 89, BULLS 83 In Salt Lake City, Trey Burke made a key 3-pointer to help the Jazz outlast Chicago in overtime — the Bulls’ first game since learning Derrick Rose would again be lost for the season.

date, she has yet to sneak a postretirement peak inside the gym that has housed a program she turned into a powerhouse.

“Haven’t seen her once,” Valdez says. “Haven’t even heard from her.”

The school didn’t waste much time in naming Valdez as Roybal’s replacement. And Valdez didn’t waste much time in naming his twin brother, John, as his top assistant.

Together, the two have already put their fingerprints on a program that was equally respected and despised during Roybal’s term. While Roybal often made headlines for her perceived arrogance toward opponents or about her own team, she usually backed it up with results that garnered the respect she so readily demanded.

Valdez admits he’d like to maintain Roybal’s success, but he stops well short of comparing himself to his former mentor.

“I learned a lot from Cindy, but I’m me, and I’ve got my own style,” he says. “I do things a little different. I want to get back to the basics a little more. Do the fundamentals.”

In that regard, he does face something of a rebuilding project.

He has eight players on the varsity roster right now, only two of whom are seniors and only one of whom is a returning starter.

His tallest players are mostly headed for the junior varsity and C-team rosters, leaving a slew of players ranging from 5-foot-3 to 5-8 on the big club. It will put an instant emphasis on ball control, outside shooting and an attacking scheme at both ends of the floor.

Gone are the days of tossing the ball inside to the roadgrating bigs who helped SFIS become a perennial power.

To that end, Valdez is putting a heavy emphasis on conditioning and teamwork. Both are essential, he says, in keeping the winning culture for a team that must make do without dominant post players.

Each day, he starts practice with the time-honored Lady Brave Run, a tortuous single-file line along the Pavilion’s indoor

NUGGETS 110, MAVERICKS 96 In Dallas, Ty Lawson had 19 points after a quiet start, Nate Robinson scored 11 straight for Denver in the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets beat Dallas for the second time in three days.

Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season.

J.J. Hickson led Denver with 22, and Kenneth Faried added 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Monta Ellis led the Mavericks with 22 points, and Dirk Nowitzki passed Brooklyn’s Kevin Garnett on the scoring list and finished with 18.

recovering from finger surgery, had 14 points and six assists. He also had five turnovers and shot 5 for 17 but was on the court in clutch time directing the Jazz to their second win of the season.

Carlos Boozer had 26 points and 16 rebounds, and Luol Deng added 24 points for the Bulls, who were exhausted in their fourth game in five nights and still processing the loss of Rose for the season.

Marvin Williams had 17 points, and Gordon Hayward and Richard Jefferson each had 15 as the Jazz scored the first seven points of overtime.

PACERS 98, TIMBERWOLVES 84 In Indianapolis, George Hill scored a season-high 26 points, and Paul George had 11 of his 26 points during the decisive run, leading the Pacers to a victory over Minnesota.

Indiana has won four straight since losing at Chicago, is 13-1 for the first time in franchise history and remained perfect in eight home games this season.

Crawford was 5 of 11 from the field and had five assists as the Celtics avenged an 89-83 loss to the Bobcats on Nov. 13.

The 31-year-old Wallace, who played for the Bobcats from 2004-11, was 6 of 10 from the field.

Brandon Bass scored 16 points, and Phil Pressley had a career-high eight assists for Boston (6-10).

track, where the player in the lead hands the ball behind her head to the next player. That process is repeated until the ball reaches the final player, whereupon she has to sprint to the front of the line and start it all over again.

“It’s why we have the trash cans all over the gym,” Valdez says. “The first few times we do it, those are getting used.”

It also underscores the level of fitness and discipline Valdez expects of his players. Both he and his brother enforce the basics in complicated drills meant to hone ball handling and court vision.

It leads to one elemental belief among the players: That they feel the luster established during Roybal’s tenure is still very much there.

“I think people should just expect the same thing from us because we’re the top every year,” says Victoria Lovato, the lone returning starter. “We’re just trying to keep the momentum going for us, keep our big name up there. Coach Roybal did it for us for a long time.

Now, we’re going to see if coach Jo Jo can keep us there.”

In an attempt to maintain the team’s toughness, Valdez didn’t back down from the demands of a challenging schedule. What Roybal did before him — routinely schedule marquee teams at home and on the road — is something he strives to do now.

The Lady Braves will open their season next week, playing

four games in five days. That includes the three slated for the second annual Lady Braves Classic, an eight-team, three-day tournament that features dominant teams like Santa Fe High, Espanola Valley, Piedra Vista and Navajo Prep.

“There are a lot of things I hope to take from [Roybal],” Valdez says. “I hope I can be as smart as her, but one thing I agreed with was playing the best teams possible. You need those tough games. What I hope for us is something she was good at, and that’s making sure we didn’t peak too early. I want this team getting better at the end, not at the start. If we take our lumps early I can live with that as long as we keep getting better.”

While that remains to be seen, at least this much is certain: Valdez is the new face of SFIS basketball. He also has big shoes to fill as the team has won state three of the last nine years, reaching the championship game four times and the state semifinals in five of the last six seasons.

Like it or not, it’s time for this program to move forward, to forge a new identity with the pieces left behind.

“Coach Roybal, she was my idol,” Valdez says. “To get where she was and hearing that she was in the Hall of Fame, to see Michael Jordan. That’s what I want to do, what all of us want.

But she left and it’s up to me to get there now. It’s up to us to make the team good again.”

Channing Frye led a balanced attack with 16 points for the Suns, who have dropped five of their last seven. Goran Dragic scored 14, Marcus Morris had 13, Markieff Morris and Gerald Green each added 12, and PJ Tucker finished with 10 for Phoenix.

Reebok workout gear and workout clothes, long relegated to the far end of the closet, are fast becoming a basic wardrobe staple. These days workout clothes are just as likely to be seen on a runway as on a treadmill.

Gym clothes become fashion statements

By Mae Anderson The Associated Press

NEW YORK o long, dingy sweatpants. Workout clothes for women, once relegated to the back of the closet, are moving to the front of the fashion scene.

Yoga pants are the new jeans, neon sports bras have become the “it” accessory and long athletic socks are hipper than high heels.

“I’ve actually had more excitement buying workout gear than normal jeans and dresses,” says Amanda Kleinhenz, 27, who wears workout gear both in and outside of the gym in Cleveland. “I want to look good.”

Blame it on the push by many Americans toward a more active lifestyle.

Or call it an extension of the nation’s fascination with fashion.

Either way, these days jogging suits are just as likely to be seen on a runway in New York as a treadmill in Texas.

In fact, sales of workout gear are growing faster than sales of everyday clothing — by a lot.

Spending on workout clothes jumped 7 percent to $31.6 billion during the 12-month period that ended in August from the same period a year ago. That compares with a 1 percent rise in spending for other clothing to about $169.2 billion. But these aren’t cheap cotton T-shirts and spandex jumpsuits.

Top designers such as Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang all rolled out fitness chic clothing lines, with everything from $50 leggings to $125 zip-front hoodies and $225 long john sweatpants. And big nationwide retailers like Gap, Forever 21, Victoria Secret and Macy’s have fitness lines, too.

“Active has become an important part of what customers are wearing,” says Karen Hoguet, chief financial officer at Macy’s, which is expanding its active wear label to 400 stores from 160. “Sometimes it’s for athletic endeavors. Sometimes it’s just to run errands.”

This is the latest evolution in fitness fashion. Sweatpants and tees were the hallmark of athletic clothing for decades.

That changed with the invention of spandex in 1959, then again with the aerobics craze of the 1980s when tights, leotards, legwarmers and nylon track suits became popular.

Athletic gear giants like Nike, Reebok and Adidas were popular for years as synthetic material like Gore Tex and Lyrcra gained popularity because of their performance qualities. Then, in the late 1990s, it became cool to wear workout clothes everywhere after the Lululemon athletic chain opened and gained a loyal following of fitness

7:30 p.m. on FOX Brooklyn Nine-Nine Amy (Melissa Fumero) is eager to host Thanksgiving dinner for the precinct, but work gets in the way when Jake and Holt (Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher) must leave to catch a perp. Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) steps in to save the day in the new episode “Thanksgiving.” Terry Crews also stars.

8 p.m. on ABC Dancing With the Stars Whose footwork is fanciest? Whose moves are smoothest? That is up to the viewers and the judges to decide, and their chosen couple is crowned here in the season finale.

Expect some eye-popping dance maneuvers as the results of all that training pay off for the winners.

Whether you’re excited or not will depend upon whether your favorite is still in the running. Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, pictured, are the judges.

9 p.m. on NBC Chicago Fire A drive-by shooting in their neighborhood forces Cruz and his brother (Joe Minoso, Jeff Lima) to think about the gang whose influence they’ve tried to escape. At Isabella’s (Mena Suvari) urging, Mills (Charlie Barnett) gets dressed up for a gala. Casey (Jesse Spencer) laments the end of his parental duties, which means he won’t be seeing as much of Dawson (Monica Raymund). Taylor Kinney and Eamonn Walker also star in the new episode “Rhymes With Shout.”

enthusiasts willing to shell out $100 for yoga pants.

Annie Georgia Greenberg, a New York editor for style blog Refinery29, says she noticed the trend at the New York Fashion week in September as more people were choosing shoes like the neon Nike Free Flyknit over designer pumps.

Greenberg herself paired a “Gold’s Gym” T-shirt and Adidas Samba sneakers with a two-piece bejeweled suit — something she wouldn’t have done a couple years ago.

“It is almost cooler to be comfortable and athletic and feel like yourself than to be overly glam,” Greenberg says.

Fitness chic also sends a message to others that you are living a healthy lifestyle, says Noreen Naroo, senior creative director for apparel at fitness brand Under Armour.

Recently, Naroo did a mile run at her daughter’s elementary school with leggings, a sports bra, T-shirt and sneakers. She changed from her sneakers into boots to go to work.

“This is exactly what women are doing — running between work and play,” Naroo says.

Nike says that’s one reason its women’s business has added $1 billion in revenue since fiscal 2010 to reach $4 billion in fiscal 2013. It’s been fueled in part by demand for fashionable workout gear like its leggings with compression technology that is made to be flattering. Another hit has been its “tights of the moment,” limited edition running tights with geometric or neon prints.

And to capitalize on the popularity of classes like Barre and Pilates in which people usually go barefoot, Nike says it created a lightweight foot wrap called the Studio Wrap which helps with hygiene and slippage, but also looks stylish.

“Women don’t want to compromise performance or style,” says Heidi O’Neill, Nike’s vice president and general manager of women’s training.

CrossFit, a high intensity group training program, also has inspired fitness chic with brightly colored knee-high socks, colorful tanks and accessories like headbands and compression arm bands.

“We’re seeing fitness become a fashion look,” said Chris Froio, vice president of fitness and training at Reebok, which sponsors the CrossFit Games.

Danielle Duffy, 31, wears CrossFit T-shirts and sparkly silver headbands or customized pink-and-purple Reebok shoes both in the gym and out hanging out with pals.

“Sometimes we’ll dress up in normal clothing … but mostly we’re the sweaty girls in CrossFit clothes hanging out in a bar,” says Duffy, who lives in Washington, D.C. “We own it and we’re going to be those people.”

A workout bra by Under Armour is one of the workout clothes becoming a wardrobe staple. Top designers such as Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang all have rolled out fitness chic clothing lines.

Boy doesn’t want to break girl’s heart Dear Annie: I am a boy in junior high school. I recently went to a social event for kids my age. While there, a girl spilled the beans that she has had a major crush on me for more than a year. We see each other often at school. I was shocked. She asked to hold my cellphone and then put her number into my contacts.

Here’s the problem. I don’t like this girl at all, but I’m getting tons of texts from her daily. No matter how hard I try to distance myself and let this one-sided relationship die, she keeps coming back.

Annie, I have tried not responding, deleting her from my contacts, etc. I don’t want to break her heart, because I’m not that kind of guy. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, and it’s starting to stress me out. I’m having nightmares about her.

All advice from my parents to shake her has failed. Can you help?

— Not a Heartbreaker Dear Not: Sometimes you can’t avoid breaking a heart. Be kind, not cruel, and take solace in knowing you behaved like a gentleman. Tell this girl as kindly as possible that you aren’t interested in a romantic relationship. Say that you’re sorry things didn’t work out the way she wanted, but she must stop texting because it makes you feel that she is stalking you. You cannot control her response. She may cry, be angry or even continue to text. Do not respond. It will take a while before she gives up, so be sure not to give false encouragement by engaging her in conversation, even negatively. Be totally neutral and uninterested. And patient.

Dear Annie: My uncle is a tax attorney. Recently, the whole family was together for lunch, and we happened to talk about my job as a special-ed teacher. I asked my uncle, “If the boss declares bankruptcy,

You might want to confirm what you are seeing or what you think this person is communicating. Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You are in the position of picking and choosing your battles. What you believe to be difficult might be a lot easier than you realize. Tonight: Manage your popularity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH News floats in that you take very seriously. You might not be exactly sure how to respond; you might even ponder this issue. Tonight: With favorite people.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Someone will approach you with care.

You are well aware that this person feels as though a serious matter needs to be discussed. Tonight: Out with a close friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Do you feel as if someone acts like a mini-dictator in your life? Perhaps your attitude comes across and is far more visible than you realize. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Nov. 26, the 330th day of 2013. There are 35 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: November 26, 1789, was a day of thanksgiving set aside by President Washington to observe the adoption of the Constitution of the United States.

who gets paid first — the employees, landlord or lender?”

Before my uncle could respond, my mother said, “You don’t ask lawyers for free legal advice.” I replied that no one seems to mind asking me for expertise. My aunt insisted that it is different because my uncle is an attorney, and my mother agreed with her. I pointed out that my grandfather, an accountant, often gave free professional advice.

So, let me ask you, Annie. If my uncle were a chef, would it be wrong to ask how long spices keep their freshness? Or the best way to cook a steak? People ask me stuff all the time pertaining to how to handle kids. Why is it that lawyers are sacrosanct, but all other professionals are fair game? — Not a Lawyer Dear Not: We don’t believe this is true. We think in your household, your mother and aunt expect lawyers to hand you a bill for professional advice. (It may even have happened with your uncle, the tax attorney.)

People ask lawyers, doctors, teachers, cooks and other professionals for free advice all the time. How they handle that is up to them. Most don’t mind a quick, simple question, but more than that can be irritating, making the professional feel that you are taking advantage of them.

Dear Annie: “Lonely in My Heart” was upset that she cannot search for her biological parents until she is 18.

Please tell her that another option is to contact her legislators and discuss changing the law regarding the age at which she can get information. It is nice when youngsters learn the legislative process through writing and rallying for change.

None of us is helpless. We all can work to change legislation. Indeed, one “lonely” person might enhance the lives of many “lonely” people.
