Puebloan connection to turkeys predates pilgrims

Commissioner accused of being too close to ride-share lobbyist By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

A meeting of state regulators looking into a controversial transportation company’s expansion into New Mexico turned into a verbal brawl Wednesday as one member of the panel accused the other of being in the company’s pocket. The confrontation occurred during the state Public Regulation Commission’s weekly public meeting, normally a session of mind-numbing reports on utility grids and fees. This meeting turned ugly and personal when Commissioner Valerie Espinoza accused fellow Commissioner Karen Montoya of being so tight with lobbyists for transit company Uber that Montoya had abandoned her professional ethics. “It’s you scratch my back, I’ll scratch your back,” Espinoza said to Montoya. Espinoza, D-Santa Fe, said Montoya, D-Albuquerque, was intent on helping Uber crack into the transportation industry in New Mexico for selfserving reasons. Montoya’s 2012 campaign manager, Mark Fleisher, now is a lobbyist for Uber, Espinoza said. Montoya is beholden to her former campaign man-

Local people raised birds long before Thanksgiving By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Centuries before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, a small pueblo south of Santa Fe was busy domesticating the bird that would one day become the staple of Thanksgiving. In a little-known chapter of Southwest history, the Tewa Indians of what would later be known as Pindi Pueblo were believed to be raising turkeys by at least the 13th century, keeping them in pens and using their feathers for blankets and ceremonies. In some cases, they may even have treated the birds as pets, right down to giving them formal burials when they died. The pueblo was occupied on and off from the mid-1200s until about 1420 before it was finally abandoned. Today the site, about six miles southwest of Santa Fe along the Santa Fe River in the village of Agua Fría, sits on private land out of public view. Archaeologists Stanley A. Stubbs and W.S. Stallings Jr. of the Laboratory of Anthropology named the pueblo Pindi — the Tewa word for turkey — after they excavated the site in the early 1930s and discovered evidence that the residents were keeping and raising turkeys. While other Southwestern tribes kept wild turkeys as early as the 800s, the archaeologists found that the residents of Pindi had extensively domesticated them. The two men oversaw a sixmonth excavation of the 250-room site under the auspices of the Civil Works Program at the invitation of the property owners, who had hoped to exploit the pueblo as a tourist attraction. That idea never caught on, probably due to the financial constraints of the Great Depression. Stubbs and Stallings detailed their findings in a report in 1953. But outside

FBI data show thousands of gun buyers get around checks Black Friday kicks off busy period in which many can skirt the rules By Matt Stroud The Associated Press

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. — More gun sales than ever are slipping through the federal background check system — 186,000 last year, a rate of 512 gun sales a day, as states fail to consistently provide thorough, real-time updates on criminal and mental histories to the FBI. At no time of year is this problem more urgent. This Friday opens the busiest season for gun purchases, when requests for background checks speed up to nearly two a second, testing the limits of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS. The stakes are high: In the U.S., there are already nine guns for every 10 people, and someone is killed with a firearm every 16 minutes. Mass shootings are happening every few weeks. “We have a perfect storm coming,” FBI manager

In brief

Who pays at White House?

Two turkeys get Obama pardon

Obama gets the bill for Thanksgiving Day By Darlene Superville The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — There’s no free lunch — or breakfast or dinner — for President Barack Obama on Thanksgiving Day. Or any other day for that matter. It’s a long-standing practice that a president pays for meals for himself, his family and personal guests. Obama also pays for other basics from toothpaste to dry cleaning. Question: Why is that? Answer: Gary Walters, who was chief White House usher for many years, said the payment rule dates back to 1800 when the White House was first occupied by President John Adams and there was no staff. Presidents brought staff with them and paid for everything. Congress gradually began spending money to maintain an official White House staff. What it boils down to, Walters said, is that the White House is first and foremost the president’s home. “All those things that are personal in nature that we all pay for, the first family pays for,” he said. Question: What is excluded? Answer: For the budget year that ended Sept. 30, Congress gave the White House $19,000 to pay for official receptions and $12.7 million to cover operating expenses for the residence, which may include entertainment. Question: What else must the first family pay for? Answer: Since presidents and first ladies can’t easily pop into the neighborhood drug store, a White House residence staff member will pick up things like toothpaste and deodorant during shopping runs and keep the bill for Obama. Question: Has anyone ever complained about this? Answer: The practice appeared to catch Nancy Reagan by surprise. “Nobody had told us that the president and his wife are charged for every meal, as well as for such incidentals as dry cleaning, toothpaste and other toiletries,” she said shortly after she and President Ronald Reagan moved into the White House in January 1981. Question: What is Obama’s salary? Answer: He gets $400,000 annually, plus a $50,000 allowance to help defray costs of his official duties. Question: What are some of Obama’s other personal expenses? Answer: Mortgage on a home in Chicago, private-school tuition for his daughters. Question: What else does he get for free at the White House? Answer: Rent, utilities, transportation, security, medical care.

Protesters march Wednesday through downtown St. Louis. Since a grand jury’s decision Monday not to indict a white Ferguson, Mo., police officer who killed an unarmed black teen, protesters in cities throughout the country have rallied behind the refrain ‘hands up, don’t shoot.’ CHARLIE RIEDEL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Grand jury documents rife with inconsistencies Physical evidence refutes conflicting statements By Holbrook Mohr, David A. Lieb and Phillip Lucas The Assocaited Press

FERGUSON, Mo. ome witnesses said Michael Brown had been shot in the back. Another said he was lying facedown when Officer Darren Wilson finished him off. Still others acknowledged changing their stories to fit published details about the autopsy, or admitted that they didn’t see the shooting at all. An Associated Press review of thousands of pages of grand jury documents reveals numerous examples of statements made during the shooting investigation that were inconsistent, fabricated or provably wrong. For one, the autopsies ultimately showed Brown wasn’t struck by any bullets in his back. Prosecutors exposed these inconsistencies before the jurors, which likely influenced their decision not to indict Wilson in Brown’s death. Bob McCulloch, the St. Louis County prosecutor, said the grand jury had to weigh testimony that conflicted with physical evidence and conflicting statements by witnesses as it decided whether Wilson should face charges. “Many witnesses to the shooting of Michael Brown made statements inconsistent with other statements they made and also conflicting with the physical evidence. Some were completely refuted by the physical evidence,” McCulloch said. The decision Monday not to charge Wilson with any crime set off more violent protests in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson and around the country, fueled by claims that the unarmed black 18-yearold was shot while peacefully surrendering to the white officer in the mostly African-American city. What people thought were facts about the Aug. 9 shooting have become intertwined with what many see as abuses of power and racial inequality in America. And media coverage of this aftermath made it into the grand jury proceedings. Before some witnesses testified, prosecutors showed jurors clips of the same people making statements on TV.

Their inconsistencies began almost immediately after the shooting, from people in the neighborhood, the friend walking with Brown during the encounter and even one woman who authorities suggested probably wasn’t even at the scene at the time. Jurors also were presented with dueling versions from Wilson and Dorian Johnson, who was walking with Brown during the Aug. 9 confrontation. Johnson painted Wilson as provoking the violence, while Wilson said Brown was the aggressor. But Johnson also declared on TV, in a clip played for the grand jury, that Wilson fired at least one shot at his friend while Brown was running away: “It struck my friend in the back.” Johnson held to a variation of this description in his grand jury testimony, saying the shot caused Brown’s body to “do like a jerking movement, not to where it looked like he got hit in his back, but I knew, it maybe could have grazed him, but he definitely made a jerking movement.” Other eyewitness accounts also were clearly wrong. One woman, who said she was smoking a cigarette with a friend nearby, claimed she saw a second police officer in the passenger seat of Wilson’s vehicle. When quizzed by a prosecutor, she elaborated: The officer was white, “middle age or young” and in uniform. She said she was positive there was a second officer — even though there was not. Another woman testified that she saw Brown leaning through the officer’s window “from his navel up,” with his hand moving up and down, as if he were punching the officer. But when the same witness returned to testify again on another day, she said she suffers from mental disorder, has racist views and that she has trouble distinguishing the truth from things she had read online. Prosecutors suggested the woman had fabricated the entire incident, and wasn’t even at the scene the day of the shooting. Another witness had told the FBI after the shooting that he saw Wilson shoot Brown in the back, and then stand over his prone body to finish him off. But in his grand jury testimony, this witness, acknowledged that he had not seen that part of the shooting, and that what he told the FBI was “based on me being where I’m from and that can be the only assumption that I have.”

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has issued an executive action that some of his Republican opponents may be hardpressed to disagree with — sparing Thanksgiving turkeys from the dinner table. In the spirit of the holiday, Obama on Wednesday took “action fully within my legal authority, the same kind of action taken by Democrats and Republican presidents before me,” to pardon the National Thanksgiving Turkey, a 49-pound bird named Cheese. He also spared an alternate turkey, a 47-pounder named Mac. Both came from Cooper Farms in Oakwood, Ohio.

Video shows police shot boy seconds after encountering him 12-year-old carried a pellet gun in Cleveland park By Mark Gillispie The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — The police officer who fatally shot a 12-year-old boy carrying a pellet gun fired within 1½ to two seconds of pulling up in his cruiser, police said Wednesday. During those few moments, he ordered the youngster three times to put up his hands, they said. The city released a surveillance video that shows the shooting of Tamir Rice, who was carrying an airsoft gun that shoots non-lethal plastic pellets. Much of the footage shows what appears to be a bored kid alone in a park. Tamir is seen pacing, occasionally extending his right arm with what appears to be a gun in his hand, talking on a cellphone and sitting a picnic table. The gun wasn’t real. It can be bought at sporting goods stores for less than $20. Tamir’s was lacking the bright orange tip that is usually put on such weapons to indicate they’re not real guns. The patrol officer who shot Tamir was identified Wednesday as Timothy Loehmann, a 26-year-old rookie who began his career in Cleveland on March 3. He previously spent five months in 2012 with a department in the Cleveland suburb of Independence. Loehmann’s partner that day was identified as Frank Garmback, 46. He has been with the department since 2008. Both are on paid administrative leave pending a decision by the

Militants in Pakistan kill 4 anti-polio health workers ISLAMABAD — Unidentified gunmen killed four health workers taking part in an antipolio campaign in southwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, highlighting the challenge the country faces in stopping the spread of the virus. Pakistan is one of three countries in the world where polio remains endemic. Although Pakistani officials have reaffirmed their commitment to halting the virus,

immunization efforts have been deeply hampered by political chaos and militant violence. Immunization workers have repeatedly come under fire by Pakistani militants, and that appeared to be the case again Wednesday, though no group claimed responsibility. Militants have widely viewed immunization workers as potential spies and agents of the West. The police said the attack

happened around 10 a.m. on the eastern outskirts of Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, which has been wracked by sectarian violence. “Three females and one man died in the attack,” Noor Baksh Mengal, the police official in charge of the neighborhood where the killings took place, said by telephone. “Three other females workers are also wounded.” The New York Times

SANAA, Yemen — U.S operation forces took part in a rescue mission that freed eight hostages in a remote corner of Yemen, but a Yemeni official said Wednesday that it did not liberate five others, including an American journalist and a Briton who were moved elsewhere by their al-Qaida captors days before the raid. Eight hostages — including a Saudi — were liberated in the joint U.S.-Yemeni operation, a rare instance of American forces intervening on the ground in Yemen. A member of the Yemeni anti-terrorism forces was quoted on a website connected to Yemen’s Defense Ministry, saying that the mission searched for a group of hostages from several nations in an eastern province, but when the commandos arrived at the cave where al-Qaida militants had chained and covered the hostages in blankets, the American and four others were already gone. A senior U.S. official had earlier confirmed U.S. involvement and said no American was rescued. The mission was carried out in a vast desert area dotted with dunes called Hagr al-Saiaar, an al-Qaida safe haven where local tribes offer them protection near the Saudi border. Yemenis initially gave no mention of American involvement in the operation. However, a Yemen Special Forces member identified only as Abu Marouf gave a detailed account of the operation to the semi-official Yemen Defense Ministry online portal, named Sept. 26. He said that his unit received intelligence information about al-Qaida militants moving hostages chained in shackles and covered with blankets in pickup trucks to Hagr al-Saiaar where they kept them in caves. He added some 30 troops, including snipers, were deployed in the early hours Tuesday. “We found the eight hostages chained. We found al-Qaida cellphones and documents,” he said.

Gun: Checks must be completed within 3 days Continued from Page A-1

Archaeologists have found turkey bones, eggshells and droppings at other pueblos in the Southwest, but the pens at Pindi are unusual, experts say. LEFT: The Pindi Pueblo excavation site.

Turkeys: ‘A portable, organic resource’ Continued from Page A-1 of academic circles, the report was largely forgotten until last year, when Eric Blinman, director of the Museum of New Mexico’s Office of Archaeological Studies, and Stephen Post, the office’s deputy director emeritus, cited it in an extensive history of the excavation and pueblo titled, “Pindi Pueblo Comes Home to Roost” in the winter 2013 issue of El Palacio magazine. Pueblo Indians were attracted to the Santa Fe area because of its natural surroundings, including the river, farmland and abundant wildlife in the nearby woods and mountains for hunting, Blinman said in an interview. According to him, there were at least four pueblos housing up to 1,000 people in the immediate Santa Fe area during that time period. “It was a happening place,” he said. Archaeologists have found turkey bones, eggshells and droppings at other pueblos in the Southwest, but the pens at Pindi are unusual, Blinman and Post said. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, Post sees a cultural contrast between how modern Americans and the Pindi residents view turkeys. “The turkey shows up on our table. We eat it and do various things to the carcass. End of story,” he said. “They saw turkeys as a portable organic resource. Their feathers were useful for making blankets, regalia, they could

produce eggs, produce young, and you can corral them. And they had meat potential.” But that potential would only be realized if the Pindi denizens could not nab some antelope, deer or rabbit, he and Blinman said. The Stubbs and Stallings excavation report hints that Pindi may have been a turkey trading center. Blinman and Post don’t go quite that far but said it is possible that the residents there used turkeys when bartering for pottery and other goods created at nearby pueblos. Arroyo Hondo Pueblo in the Galisteo Basin was also pretty “turkey friendly,” Post said. But Stubbs and Stalling were probably looking for a romantic name to capture interest for Pindi Pueblo, which was located on the north side of the river and not far from what is called the Agua Fría Schoolhouse site on the south side of the river near the San Ysidro crossing. Archaeologists don’t know exactly why the residents eventually left Pindi but believe it was some combination of drought, flooding or erosion. Cherie Scheick, owner of Southwest Archaeological Consultants, who is taking part in a community excavation of the Agua Fria Schoolhouse site, said Tuesday they are uncovering evidence of turkey bones and egg shells there. But no turkey pens, she said. The difference is not that subtle. At Pindi, “I get the sense that the birds

were treated as a member of the community but not as a member of the family,” Blinman said. At Agua Fría, it is possible they ended up on the dinner table more often. “One would presume they were eating turkeys,” Scheick said. James Snead, a native Santa Fean who has studied the Southwest pueblos and is currently an associate professor of anthropology at California State University, Northridge, said by phone Wednesday that the presence of turkeys can help residents of the Southwest today forge a connection with the ancient pueblos. “Turkeys are not very glamorous but they tell us a lot about [the residents’] daily lives,” he said. “We tend to think of people in the past in mystical ways, rituals and all that. But it’s always nice to see that they were farmers, that they needed to eat, that they raised turkeys, the turkeys are squabbling on the plaza and made noise and they had to get rid of the turkey droppings and that’s a pain.” Thanksgiving, he said, is a good time to ponder such points. “People think of the pilgrims, and that’s fine, but Santa Fe needs to look no further than Pindi for this connection with ancient Native Americans — and the turkey is a great way to bring that to mind.” Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 or rnott@sfnewmexican.com.

Kimberly Del Greco told The Associated Press during a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the system. Much of the responsibility for preventing criminals and the mentally ill from buying guns is shouldered by about 500 men and women who run the system from inside the FBI’s criminal justice center just outside Bridgeport, W.Va. By federal law, NICS researchers must race against the clock: They have until the end of the third business day following an attempted firearm purchase to determine whether or not a buyer is eligible. “They won’t proceed or deny a transaction unless they are ABSOLUTELY certain the information they have is correct and sufficient to sustain that decision,” FBI spokesman Stephen G. Fischer told the AP. In roughly 2 percent of the checks handled by the FBI, agents don’t get this information in time. If three business days pass without a federal response, buyers can legally get their guns, whether or not the check was completed. Americans are buying more than twice as many guns a year now as they did when the background checks were first implemented in 1998. And that means more gun sales are effectively beating the system. The federal government often takes the heat in debates over gun rights, but the FBI says states are largely to blame for this problem. They voluntarily submit records, which are often missing information about mental health rulings or criminal convictions, and aren’t always rapidly updated to reflect restraining orders or other urgent reasons to deny a sale. “We are stewards of the states’ records,” Del Greco said. “It’s really critical that we have accurate information. Sometimes we just don’t.” There are more than 48,000 gun retailers in the U.S., from Wal-Mart stores to local pawn shops. Store clerks can use the FBI’s online E-Check System, which officials say is more efficient. But nearly half the checks are phoned in. Three call centers — in Kentucky, Texas and Wheeling, W.Va. — take calls from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day but Christmas. NICS did about 58,000 checks on

a typical day last year. That surged to 145,000 on Black Friday 2013. They’re bringing in 100 extra workers for the post-Thanksgiving rush this year. The call centers have no access to privileged information about buyers’ backgrounds, and make no decisions. They just type in their name, address, birthdate, Social Security number and other information into the system. On Black Fridays, the work can be grueling: One woman took a call that lasted four hours when a dealer phoned in the maximum 99 checks. “Rules had to be stretched,” recalled Sam Demarco, her supervisor. “We can’t transfer calls. Someone had to sit in her seat for her while she went to the bathroom.” In the years since these background checks were required, about 71 percent have found no red flags and produced instant approvals. But 10 factors can disqualify gun purchasers: a felony conviction, an arrest warrant, a documented drug problem or mental illness, undocumented immigration status, a dishonorable military discharge, a renunciation of U.S. citizenship, a restraining order, a history of domestic violence, or an indictment for any crime punishable by longer than one year of prison time. Any sign that one of these factors could be in a buyer’s background produces a red-flag, which sends the check to the FBI researchers to approve, deny or investigate. They scour state records in the federal database, and often call local authorities for more information. “It takes a lot of effort … for an examiner to go out and look at court reports, look at judges’ documents, try to find a final disposition so we can get back to a gun dealer on whether they can sell that gun or not,” Del Greco said. “And we don’t always get back to them.” These workers have considerable responsibility, but little independent authority. They must use skill and judgment, balancing the rights of gun owners and the need to keep wouldbe killers from getting firearms. Researcher Valerie Sargo said outstanding warrants often come up when they examine a red flag, and that can help police make arrests. “It makes you feel good that this person is not supposed to have a firearm and you kept it out of their hands,” she said.

A researcher simulates a check for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System earlier this month at the FBI’s criminal justice center in Bridgeport, W.Va. NICS performed about 58,000 checks on a typical day in 2013. That surged to 145,000 on Black Friday. MATT STROUD/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

War: Islamic State proven to be a difficult target for U.S. airpower Continued from Page A-1 bear, they face an unusual enemy — a hybrid between a conventional army and a terrorist network that has not proven to be an easy target for American airpower. “When we target a nation-state, we’ve typically been looking at their capability for decades, and have extensive target sets,” said Maj. Sonny Alberdeston, the targeting chief here. “But these guys are moving around. They can be in one place, and then a week later, they’re gone.” Just as the Pentagon flies its wartime fleet of Predator and Reaper drones from bases in Nevada and elsewhere across the United States, this rear headquarters of the Central Command’s air forces carries out the bulk of the work to analyze and select planned, or deliberate, targets that allied warplanes strike in Syria and Iraq. The targets are fixed sites like military headquarters and communications centers, oil refineries, training camps, troop barracks and weapons depots — in short, everything the Islamic State needs to sustain its fight. More than 7,000 miles away at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, in the Persian Gulf, another group of analysts and targeting specialists focuses on so-called pop-up targets — convoys of militants

or heavy weaponry on the move. These have been the top priority of the three-month campaign, even though only about one out of every four aircraft missions sent to attack them has dropped its bombs. The rest of the missions have returned to the base, failing to find a target they were permitted to hit under the strict rules of engagement designed to avoid civilian casualties. Of the 450 strikes in Syria through last week, about 25 percent were planned, military officials said. Of the 540 strikes in Iraq through the same period, there were even fewer — only 5 percent of the total. Critics complain that the air campaign is flagging against an adaptive enemy. “We need to have more targeting capability than they have right now,” said Sen. James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, the senior Republican on the Armed Services Committee, who recently returned from Jordan, where several countries are using a base to fly combat missions against the Islamic State. Targeting was also a major topic last week, when nearly 200 military officials from 33 countries completed an unusual battle-planning conference at the Central Command’s headquarters in Tampa, Fla. The goal was “to synchronize and refine coalition

campaign plans designed to degrade and defeat ISIL,” the command said in a statement, using an acronym for the Islamic State. At the same time, the amount of resources available to strike the Islamic State continues to increase. Morocco is the latest Arab nation to respond to a U.S. appeal for more firepower, sending several F-16s to the fight. The Central Command is also weighing whether to hire civilian contractors to operate additional military spy planes to fill a desperate need to hunt for more targets. Every afternoon here in South Carolina, Col. Scott F. Murray, the senior intelligence officer at the base and a veteran of earlier air campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, convenes his top staff members to review targets: just completed, about to happen, and future strikes. Some targets are automatically off-limits, such as dams, schools and hospitals. Several dozen come with restrictions, like rules that say they can be attacked only at night, when presumably no people are around. At any given time, there are fewer than 100 targets on the list that have been approved to be hit. Planners at Al Udeid work down that list, matching up specific aircraft and specific weapons best suited to destroy or disable a target with mini-

mum risk to civilians, officials said. In recent weeks, these targets have included a vast network of tunnels in Kirkuk, Iraq, and a factory in Mosul, Iraq, that made improvised explosive devices. The analysts scan the satellite and U-2 spy plane imagery searching for telltale signs of potential targets: the Islamic State’s signature black flags, road checkpoints or walled fortifications under construction to defend a site. One of the main objectives for the scores of analysts and planners here is to squeeze the Islamic State’s financial lifeline by attacking its ability to produce and sell oil. So far, allied warplanes have damaged or destroyed more than two dozen smaller mobile refineries and about twice as many collection points where drivers dump their crude oil to be hauled to refineries, according to officials here. Working at computers in cubicles in nondescript offices, analysts examine lists of suggested targets or other “points of interest” offered by the CIA, U.S. military intelligence agencies, allied spy organizations or Iraqi forces themselves. The analysts check to see if the targets are legitimate, fit the priorities of Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, the head of the Central Command, and can be struck without risking civilian casualties. They use sophisticated computer

programs to determine which weapon and which approach to the target will cause the least risk to civilians. What the warplanes are not hitting are the individual trucks hauling the illicit oil, out of fear that killing drivers who may just be trying to make ends meet for their families would only turn more Syrians against the West or alienate Sunni tribesmen, whose support is critical to ousting the militants, as well as Sunni Arab countries that are part of the American-led coalition. Some Air Force officials express some frustration at the pace of approving suggested targets for strikes, a process that ultimately ends up on Austin’s desk. Human rights groups concur that the U.S. military has taken steps to reduce the risk of civilian casualties in the air campaign but said the dangers would increase when allied-backed Iraqi ground forces seek to retake cities like Mosul. “When they’re actually fighting in urban areas, the challenges will be harder to make sure they’re not causing harm,” said Federico Borello, the executive director of the Center for Civilians in Conflict, an advocacy group. “The U.S. and coalition forces will need to have processes in place to investigate and respond to any allegations of civilian casualties.”

Uber: PRC lawyer says company’s plan falls short of requirements Continued from Page A-1 ager, and should recuse herself from any discussions on the transportation company, Espinoza said. Montoya said in an interview afterward that she has done nothing wrong or unethical. “I know that I am unbiased, and I will remain unbiased,” she said. “I believe these transportation network companies will be good for New Mexico.” Montoya said she agreed with Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales that the transit businesses can reduce drunken driving and provide rides for people in need. Customers summon a ride from Uber with a mobile phone database. Uber drivers are not company employees. Rather, they are contract workers with a personal car that can be used to transport the company’s clients. Uber recently emailed its operations plan to Montoya and one other Public Regulation Commission member, Patrick Lyons, R-Clovis. Espinoza said this was another example of select commissioners having inappropriate contact with a company intent on taking away business from regulated cab companies. For her part, Montoya said she copied the other four commissioners after receiving the company’s plan by email. She said she did not engage in any discussions with Uber about its business plan. To the dismay of cab companies, Uber already is offering its ride service in Santa Fe and Albuquerque without being regulated by the commissioners. The taxi businesses have a high-powered lobbyist of their own in Raymond Sanchez, former speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives. Rick Blumenfeld, an attorney for the Public Regulation Commission, said Uber’s operations plan “falls well short of what motor carriers are supposed to do and what we’re supposed to do” as a regulatory agency. He said Uber had no system of making sure drivers are sober. The company’s plan says it has a

zero-tolerance policy for alcohol or drug use, but Blumenfeld said it offered no evidence of testing. Insurance coverage is another hole in Uber’s proposal, Blumenfeld told the commissioners. A driver’s personal policy does not cover his or her vehicle for commercial purposes, he said. In addition, the company’s operations plan makes no mention of paying any business taxes, Blumenfeld said. “Local communities are losing

Inc. and perhaps other companies that want to do business in New Mexico as alternatives to taxi cabs. Hall said Uber and other transportation network companies should apply to the Public Regulation Commission to operate licensed transportation services, just as taxi owners must do. There is nothing to talk about until then, Hall said. The Public Regulation Commission last May ordered Lyft

[tax] money with these folks,” he said. Even after Blumenfeld’s negative review of Uber, the Public Regulation Commission voted 3-2 to hold another meeting with transit companies and any interested “stakeholders” Dec. 9. They will review whether Uber and similar companies belong in the marketplace. Espinoza and Commissioner Ben Hall, R-Ruidoso, voted against meeting with Uber, Lyft

Inc. to cease operations in New Mexico. But state police said the order was impossible for them to enforce. Montoya said the department lacks the manpower to follow Lyft drivers. In addition, Montoya said, Lyft cars may not even be marked. Typically, though, people driving for Lyft adorn their cars with a pink mustache, the company’s symbol. Lawyers for the Public Regulation Commission hope to obtain

BOGOTA, Colombia — Furious taxi drivers and loyal users of Uber are butting heads over Colombia’s new ban on the ride-sharing company. Amid threats of a strike by yellow taxis who consider cars affiliated with Uber to be “pirates,” the Transportation Ministry this week declared illegal all smartphone applications that facilitate the hiring of cabs that aren’t registered for that purpose. Taxi drivers fearing a loss of business from Uber’s credit card-only, spruced-up service have challenged the company on similar grounds in many of the 50 countries in which it operates. But the service has won a large following in Colombian cities since arriving a year ago. The reason is simple: a fear of being ripped off by doctored meters or even assaulted by taxi drivers with a reputation for violence. What’s known as a “millionaire’s ride,” where assailants in cahoots with cabbies jump into a car and force passengers at gunpoint to empty their bank accounts at cash machines, are a top public safety concern. Last year, a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration official was killed in a botched robbery attempt. His assailants, seven taxi drivers, were extradited to the U.S. Cabbies say drivers of the increasingly ubiquitous white SUVs and sedans affiliated with Uber don’t face the same restrictions or pay the high fees and taxes required of yellow cabs. Licenses for such cars are supposed to be reserved for drivers servicing hotels, schools and other specially designated clients. “Using this service is the same as buying smuggled goods,” said Jose Rodriguez, president of the National Transporters Association.

Spy balloons give police Ginsburg recovering after heart surgery new views of Jerusalem Supreme Court justice, 81, has stent put in By Aron Heller and Ami Bentov The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Israeli police are watching from above in their attempts to keep control in Jerusalem in the face of the city’s worst wave of violence in nearly a decade. Police have been flying surveillance balloons over the city’s eastern sector and Old City — the location of its most sensitive holy sites — to monitor protests and move in on them quickly. They say the puffy white balloons, which carry a rotating spherical camera pod, have greatly helped quell the unrest. But the eyes in the sky are unnerving Palestinians. “They want to discover everything that’s going on. [They see] who is going, who is coming, who is that person,” said Imad Muna, who works at a local bookstore. The Israeli company that makes the Skystar 180 aerostat system says the balloons can stay in the air for 72 hours and carry highly sensitive cameras. Rami Shmueli, the CEO of RT LTA Systems Ltd, said his company gives police a “third dimension” in their quest to quell tensions in east Jerusalem, where they have been clashing regularly with masked youths hurling rocks and firebombs. “We give them an aerial view of the streets and those people who are throwing stones, we can detect them even if they hide behind buildings or in gardens,” said Shmueli. “When we see them and when we see their activity, we can direct the police forces to their location.

U.S. Ebola monitors not finding any cases

And even if they escape we can follow them and make sure that police catch them.” Over the past month, 11 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks, including a deadly assault last week on a Jerusalem synagogue that killed five people. Most of the violence has occurred in Jerusalem, along with deadly attacks in Tel Aviv and the West Bank. The helium-filled balloons were successfully used in Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip last summer. While various types of surveillance blimps have been used in the Jerusalem area for years, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a strategic decision was recently made to increase their use. “It is tremendously important and gives us gives a 360-degree view of what is going on,” Rosenfeld said. “Our units can respond a lot quicker, a lot faster and much more effectively.” The balloons are part of a broad collection of surveillance equipment that includes security cameras throughout the city, including 320 of them in the Old City — as well as undercover units, riot-control forces and intelligence gathering. Sheik Ikrima Sabri, imam of the Al Aqsa Mosque, said Palestinians are well accustomed to the aerial surveillance of mass prayers each Friday. But he said the new surveillance over residential areas is a problem. “It is practically over the houses. It violates the privacy of people. There are women in the houses, and these machines can photograph them,” he said.

WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent a heart procedure Wednesday morning and was expected to leave the hospital within the next two days, the Supreme Court announced. Ginsburg, 81, “experienced discomfort during routine exercise” on Tuesday night and was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, the court said in a statement. Doctors placed a stent in her right coronary artery, a procedure known as a coronary catheterization. “She is resting comfortably,” the statement said. Kathleen Arberg, the court’s public information officer, added that “Justice Ginsburg expects to be on the bench on Monday.” The court is scheduled to hear two arguments that day, including one on how the First Amendment applies to threats conveyed on Facebook. Ginsburg is the senior member of the court’s four-person liberal wing, a role she seems to enjoy. She has resisted calls for her resignation from liberals who say they want President Barack Obama to name her replacement, rather than a possible Republican successor. The issue is now largely moot. The Republican takeover of the Senate next month will almost certainly narrow the range of candidates who could be confirmed in the last two years of Obama’s presidency.

Ginsburg was named to the court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. She was the first Democratic appointment since 1967, when President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall. She is now the oldest member of the Supreme Court and has shown no signs of slowing down. She stayed up all night last month to put the finishing touches on a dissent from an order allowing Texas to use its strict voter ID law. The opinion was issued shortly after 5 a.m. In the interview last year, she said her age has required only minor adjustments. “I don’t water-ski anymore,” Ginsburg said. “I haven’t gone horseback riding in four years. I haven’t ruled that out entirely. But water-skiing, those days are over.”

By Mike Stobbe The Associated Press

NEW YORK — For three weeks, Dr. John Fankhauser and his family lived in two RVs in a meadow in North Carolina, watching movies, playing cards and huddling around a fire pit — with no other campers around. But their isolation was interrupted each morning by a visit from a public health nurse, who came to ask Fankhauser how he was feeling and to watch him take his temperature. The doctor is one of the more than 2,600 people who have undergone the 21-day ritual ordered by the federal government to guard against cases of Ebola from entering the country from West Africa. Now, anyone who has traveled from four West African nations is monitored for three weeks for fever and other signs of the disease. The program reaches the one-month mark on Thursday, and so far, it hasn’t found any cases of Ebola. It’s up to local officials to decide how to keep track of the travelers who end up in their states, and determine what — if any — restrictions to impose. Most checking is done through daily phone calls, often with the person calling in to report their temperature and any symptoms. And by all accounts, most travelers have been cooperative. Last week during a Congressional hearing, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden said health officials lost track of only a tiny proportion of travelers — “less than 1 percent.”

Ginsburg has repeatedly vowed in recent months to stay on the court as long as her health holds and she stays mentally sharp. In an interview last year, she said she loved her work and intended to continue “as long as I can do the job full-steam, and that, at my age, is not predictable.” She has had cancer twice, and has attributed her survival partly to the medical care she received at the National Institutes of Health. “Ever since my colorectal cancer in 1999, I have been followed by the NIH,” she said in the interview. “That was very lucky for me because they detected my pancreatic cancer at a very early stage” in 2009. Ginsburg was back on the bench less than three weeks after undergoing the second cancer surgery. “After the pancreatic cancer, at first I went to NIH every three months, then every four months, then every six months,” she said.

“The last time I was there they said, ‘Come back in a year.’ ” She said in the interview last year that she was working out twice Ruth Bader a week with Ginsburg a trainer, and in remarks at a bar association in February, she said the trainer “has been my physical fitness guardian since 1999.” The court’s prompt and detailed announcement of Wednesday’s heart procedure was characteristic of Ginsburg’s openness about her health and other matters. Last month, she had the court issue a statement announcing that she was correcting a factual error in a recently issued opinion.

Community builder In teaching and historic preservation, Socorro Aragón makes her mark on Santa Fe By Dennis J. Carroll For The New Mexican

n so many ways, Socorro Aragón is a bricklayer when it comes to preserving and promoting the Spanish history and culture of Northern New Mexico. Whether it was spearheading the creation of Cathedral Park; writing and acting in plays that often skewered cultural and political foibles; teaching and counseling teenagers; or being the mother of two Fiesta queens and a 1953 Fiesta princess herself, Aragón, 80, has laid the foundation for many others. Such is her dedication to preserving and celebrating the achievements of the Spanish settlers of New Mexico that she was honored with a proclamation from King Juan Carlos of Spain. “Socorro was never a person to sit on the sidelines,” said Albert J. Gallegos, who worked with Aragón in organizing the state’s Cuartocentenario celebrations in 1998, celebrating conquistador Juan de Oñate’s arrival in what is now New Mexico. “She’s a doer.” The two also worked hand in hand in the renovation of Cathedral Park beginning in the late 1990s. Beverly Garcia, who nominated Aragón for the 10 Who Made a Difference recognition, remembers the former Santa Fe High School home economics teacher who, with great care and organizational skills, directed all aspects of the renovation and dedication of the park. Garcia particularly recalls Aragón’s close supervision of the creation and installation of the bricks etched with donors’ names in the park walkway.

“She would spend hours with me, making sure that the donors’ names were spelled correctly on the bricks,” Garcia said. “She held conference calls with the brick foundry in Denver to ensure that the bricks were burnished correctly and shipped in the correct order” and “made arrangements for bricklaying in an exactitude that would have driven anyone else crazy.” Aragón said the site had been abandoned but yet “had such historical meaning that [her group] felt the city should just purchase it and use it as a park” rather than selling the land to a hotel or other private endeavor. Aragón also supervised the writing of the historical plaques created for the park. In developing the site, she wanted to ensure that those settlers who traveled with Oñate to New Mexico, including the soldiers as protectors of the colonists, would be remembered. Those who know her well also say Aragón was blessed with a sharp sense of humor, which she somehow managed to incorporate into her historical projects. Garcia noted that in a recent performance of a play Aragón wrote and directed for the women’s group La Sociedad Folklorica, Aragón dressed as a member of Las Adelitas, one of the female fighters of the Mexican Revolution, complete with a rifle, a bandolier and long, braided dark hair. “Her outward veneer [went] right out the window,” Garcia said. Aragón, aunt to Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales, said her plays for La Sociedad Folklorica’s annual banquets are performed in Spanish and single out a particular time

period in New Mexico history. She cited as an example a recent play that satirized the Mama Lucy Gang of the 1970s, a cadre of liberal state House members who would gather at “Mama” Lucy Lopez’s restaurant in Las Vegas, N.M. Aragón’s most far-reaching influence may well be her work with Gov. Jerry Apodaca’s office of job training in the 1970s. Working out of Santa Fe High School, where she had taught home economics, Aragon helped many low-income youths enroll in a variety of job training programs. “She helped emotionally, personally, financially,” said Art Michael, who worked with her. “She was like a mom to all the kids. They liked just going to her office and talking to her as a counselor.” Still feeling Aragón’s influence today is Liz Legits, a counselor in the Pojoaque Valley School District. “She’s the one who inspired me to become a home economics teacher” and counselor, said Legits, a former Aragon student. “It was her love for teaching that made you want to become an educator.” In addition to Aragón’s many other achievements, she helped found El Rancho de las Goldondrinas, the living-history museum, and continues to serve as the human resources director for the state House of Representatives. But teaching is Aragon’s first love. “I guess I am a teacher at heart,” she said. “Everywhere I go I find ways of using my teaching skills. … I’ve always tried to find the good in a person and then help them develop it.” Contact Dennis Carroll at carrollnews1@ gmail.com.

In brief Police: Christus nurse found unconscious with drugs Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center has fired a nurse who court documents say was found unconscious in a hospital restroom Monday with a needle in his arm. Hospital staff told police that James Hoffman also was wearing lipstick and had a tourniquet wrapped around his arm, according James to a criminal complaint filed in Santa Hoffman Fe County Magistrate Court. Hoffman was found with four different types of hospital drugs, staff told police. Hospital officials said Hoffman didn’t harm any patients with the drugs, but officials planned to talk to each patient who came in contact with Hoffman. Hoffman, who faces four counts of possession of a controlled substance, was released from the Santa Fe County jail on Wednesday.

Police seek aid finding 13-year-old The Santa Fe Police Department has asked the public to help locate a 13-year-old girl who, officers say, left her home with an older boyfriend who may be in violation of his parole. The department issued a news release at about 3 p.m. Wednesday that stated Samantha Martinez went missing at about 11:30 a.m. WednesSamantha day. The release stated she was last Martinez seen walking near Osage Avenue and Cerrillos Road. She is 4 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 80 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. Police said the family fears for Martinez’s safety because she left home with a 17-year-old boyfriend who they say removed his electronic monitoring device he wore as a part of his probation. Police have asked those with information regarding Martinez’s whereabouts to call 428-3710. The New Mexican

Newsmakers Putin’s tiger kills 15 goats in northeast China

Vladimir Putin

Ustin

BEIJING — A rare Siberian tiger released into the wild by Russian President Vladimir Putin is keeping farmers in northeastern China on edge. China’s official Xinhua News Agency said Wednesday that the animal, named Ustin, bit and killed 15 goats and left another three missing on Sunday and Monday on a farm in Heilongjiang province’s Fuyuan county. Xinhua said the farm’s owner, Guo Yulin, was stressed about the tiger, but that he would be compensated by the local forestry department for the loss of the 18 goats. According to Xinhua, Russian experts rescued five tiger cubs two years ago. Ustin was one of three released by Putin in May in a remote part of the Amur region. Two of the tigers entered China. They were fitted with tracking devices and are monitored by Chinese wildlife protection workers. Xinhua said the goats’ skulls were crushed by the tiger. “When I opened the goat house in the morning, dead goats were everywhere,” Guo said, according to Xinhua. Local experts found the tiger’s footprints around the goat house. Guo was asked to either relocate his goats or reinforce his farm, it said. The Associated Press

7 p.m. on CBS The Big Bang Theory There’s bittersweet timing to this airing of “The Thanksgiving Decoupling,” given the recent passing of actress Carol Ann Susi, who supplied the voice of Howard’s (Simon Helberg) mom. The gang gathers at that character’s house for the holiday, to Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) dismay. 7 p.m. on CW Whose Line Is It Anyway? A Thanksgiving-night marathon of the show is in store, as Supernatural regular Misha Collins and comic Brad Sherwood are the guests in the first of four encore episodes. Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles appear in all of them. Aisha Tyler, pictured, is the host.

8 p.m. on CBS Two and a Half Men The sitcom hasn’t had a young cast regular in a while, but the title men get a new ‘Half’ as Edan Alexander joins the show in the new episode “Oontz. Oontz. Oontz.”

8:30 p.m. on CBS The McCarthys Episodes aren’t bettertimed than the new episode “Thanks a Lot, Ronny,” since it’s Thanksgiving at the McCarthy house. As typical as a family gathering is on the holiday, it’s anything but traditional for this clan, since the other members spend dinner trying to get Gerard (Joey McIntyre) to break up with his much-disliked girlfriend (guest star Jessica St. Clair). 9 p.m. on CBS Elementary Diamonds may be forever, but there’s no guarantee that those who connect with them also will be. That’s the case, literally, when a postal-store owner appears to have been killed over an illegal transport of gems in the new episode “Rip Off.” Sherlock and Kitty (Jonny Lee Miller, Ophelia Lovibond) investigate the death. Captain Gregson’s (Aidan Quinn) physical clash with another officer has repercussions for him.

said. But after the holidays, she was slowly able to regain her footing. “Things are good now,” said Griego, who works 48 hours a week — and sometimes more — as a floral department manager and bookkeeper for Albertsons. “It took a while to get back up on our feet and get caught up, and just be able to take a full breath and let it all just be what it is. But it feels like a breath of fresh air. When you are worried about everything and you are behind on everything, you feel like you are underwater.” This year, she hopes to do something special for her children for the holidays to make up for the things they missed out on during the past few years. Griego said she has always believed that what comes around goes around, the good and the bad, and she has always tried to do good by others. Sometimes when times were tough, she wondered what she had done in another lifetime that she needed to pay for in this one. Now, she said, “It’s finally coming back around.” Griego said she welcomed the opportunity to have her story featured in the newspaper, to let others know that help is available and to spread a message to donors about the positive impact of their contributions. “People want to hide it when they are having a hard time,” she said. “I’m really glad I could do this. Honestly, I want everyone to know how much even just a little bit can make a difference to someone who has nothing.”

became difficult. Griego said friends advised her to apply for public housing assistance. “I didn’t do it,” she said. “It was a matter of pride.” In November 2012, when Griego lost her job as a medical assistant, a position she had held for three years, life became tougher than ever for the family. Despite searching for work on Craigslist and in classified ads, she said, she couldn’t find another job. She sought help from the state Department of Workforce Solutions. And although she could barely afford to purchase gasoline, she continued to drive to job interviews. When Griego’s unemployment benefits ran out in 2013, with the holidays fast approaching, she began to feel desperate. “The kids were sad, but they trusted me,” she said. “They said, ‘You always find a way.’ ” She continued to feed her family with the help of food stamps. Her children wore hand-medown jackets that year, and a counselor from her son’s school gave her a list of places she might seek assistance, including The Empty Stocking Fund. About a week after she received money from the fund to pay the back rent on her mobile home space, things started looking up. She ran into a friend at an Albertsons supermarket who told her the store needed more help. She also got a call back from an insurance company where she had applied for work. Neither of the jobs began until January, so it was still a sparse holiday season for the family.

In brief

Music, more at Plaza Taos extends lighting ceremony marketing contract Live musical entertainment and a visit by Santa and Mrs. Claus are planned in conjunction with the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony Friday on the Santa Fe Plaza.

TAOS — The Taos Town Council this week voted to extend its contract with the Albuquerque marketing firm Griffin and Associates through

the end of the fiscal year. The Taos News reported that the Tuesday vote came after a lengthy and tense discussion about its marketing contract and the future of the town’s marketing efforts. Tuesday’s emotional meeting also followed several days of heated emails between lodgers, members of the tourism industry and town officials. The debate was prompted, in part, by an article in the Nov. 20 edition of The Taos News. The article stated the Town Council would likely vote Tuesday on whether to cancel its contract with Griffin and Associates. The article also said town manager Rick Bellis was recommending the contract be canceled and that more money be directed toward promoting events. Joan Griffin of Griffin and Associates, an Albuquerque firm, said Tuesday it was the first she had heard of the possibility that her contract might be canceled.

2 injured in N.M. oilfield explosion CARLSBAD — An explosion at an oilfield tank battery in southeastern New Mexico has injured two workers. The Carlsbad Current Argus reported that the two workers were transported to an area hospital. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known, but early reports stated one person was burned and another may have broken a leg. Crews were able to contain the fire at the site, which is near the border between Lea and Eddy counties. Sheriff’s deputies secured the area Wednesday afternoon and were limiting access to the rural road that leads to the site. Authorities say the cause of the explosion is unknown.

COMMENTARY: JAMES CARROLL

Thanksgiving offers opportunity I f, in addition to gratitude for the blessings of private life, American Thanksgiving has long defined itself around gratitude for all that makes for the common good, what of this year? Consider the dark litany: a looming climate disaster; an internal mass exile of immigrants; an incipient fascism in Moscow; an uncheckable national security behemoth in Washington; the exhausting of hopes that a cascade of nuclear proliferation can be dammed at Iran; the decapitating hydra-headedness of terror in the Middle East; the steady failure of educational reform efforts in American cities; an increasingly banal public media; the vast disproportion of political power flowing to the wealthy, even while global majorities barely fend off starvation. Where, in light of such confidenceshattering dilemmas, is the nation left? That grim question launches Thanksgiving week this year, but perhaps such a dark context can itself offer transformation of another sort. Thanksgiving has never been — either privately or publicly — the celebration of a trouble-free people. On the contrary, starting with that mythic pilgrim band that survived shipwreck, disease, and hunger, and could look forward to not much better, the Thanksgiving observance has lifted up the importance not of bounty, much less privilege, but of attitude. In addition to assessing the problems one confronts, there is the equally crucial question of what stance to take in facing them. The “Plimouth Plantation” saga, instead of being retold as a celebration of plenty, can better be remembered as a refusal to be cowed by what remained, even at harvest time and with welcome offered by the Wampanoag, a dire situation of scarcity. The Thanksgiving cornucopia was a matter of outlook, based in a coldly realistic recognition that the business of the future would be dangerous. They didn’t have much, but the

T fact that they had anything at all prompted them to feast. It was a feast of moral amplitude, not physical. The only thing the pilgrims had in abundance was courage. What was true of the “Plimouth” future is true of ours: Dangers abound. But dangers are the given. What’s up for grabs is what the dangers do to the nation’s soul. America is right to attach its origins to the mythic pilgrim band, since democracy begins not in the legendary bounties of “amber waves of grains above the fruited plain,” but in the attitude of those who would make and sustain the social compact. In the settlers’ attitude, not in the promise of “alabaster cities,” the commonwealth was born. Some might say that here is the problem — that attitude itself is what has been corrupted by the broken state of American public life. But such fatalism

assumes that attitude, too, is a given, as if the positive spirit of the founders was the Creator’s endowment. On the contrary, attitude is a matter of choice, and so what deserves emphasis in the nation’s founding story is the refusal to be defeated by what so gravely threatened. That legacy requires of Americans today, first, a frank acknowledgment of our common troubles; and, second, a recommitment to take them on, as they come. In Thanksgiving week, of all the year’s observances, the saving function of attitude becomes explicit in the political realm as much as in the private, since worry about all that isn’t gives way, by definition, to gratitude for what is. We are thankful, finally, because we choose to be. Author James Carroll wrote this column for The Boston Globe.

Immigrant’s story: Nonno shows the way

n Green Hills, Ohio, there is an unusual street sign identifying a one-block length of street. The sign was placed on that block more than 30 years ago and today that block is still called “Nonno Way.” This lone street sign has an interesting origin, one that I believe is fitting for this Thanksgiving Day. In the early 1900s, Atilio Matteucci left his family and his impoverished village in northern Italy in search of a better life in America. Like so many others, he arrived at Ellis Island with nothing in his pocket. He quickly learned the American name for Italians was WOP, the abbreviation for With-Out-Papers. Today we call this “undocumented.” He traveled the country searching for work. He worked in the copper mines in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and had the good fortune, in his mind at least, to be injured in a mining accident that broke one of his legs. A broken leg meant he got a job manning the elevator, which got him out of the far more dangerous job of working underground. (At that time more than 10 percent of all miners were either killed or maimed to the point they could no longer work. It was the overwhelming dangers associated with mining that led the United Mine Workers union to create America’s first workers compensation insurance.) Eventually, Atilio moved to Chicago, where he worked in a factory until he retired. In Chicago, he married Sophie and they started a family. One of their children was George, my father-in-law and namesake

of my youngest son. George passed away just before Thanksgiving two years ago, and more than anyone, taught me how to be a better father — not by what he told me but by how he acted. Atilio and Sophie divorced (unheard of in those days), and Atilio remarried Seconda, a distant relative and the second of six children all named by the order of their birth, Primeta, Seconda and so on. (These were really their given names, not nicknames, except for the sixth child, who received two names, Palmiro Sestilio, having had the good fortune of being born on Palm Sunday.) Seconda eventually died, and Atilio ended up living alone in Chicago. One day his son, George, came to visit him from Cincinnati, where he had moved his family. When he found his dad sitting in the dark staring at the wall, George said, “Dad you are

coming to live with us.” Susan, my wife, was the youngest of George’s four children, the only girl, and her relationship with Atilio — her Nonno, grandfather — was a special one. He picked her up from school, they talked a lot, they went out to lunch. Mostly they went to Furr’s Cafeteria. Atilio never had learned to read or write, and he was much more comfortable ordering food he could see than from a menu. When they did go to a restaurant where they were waited on, he never failed to whisper to the waitress, and soon a complimentary birthday dessert would arrive in honor of Sue’s special day. Nonno would enjoy a good chuckle and Sue would respond with a knowing smile. Atilio got a job as a crossing guard in the small suburban community the Matteuccis called home. All the neighborhood kids loved this tender, warm and humorous man. It

did not take long for all the neighborhood kids to refer to him in the same way that Sue and her brothers did: Nonno. While Nonno was still alive, the town of Green Hills renamed the street where he safely crossed the kids to school, “Nonno Way.” The story of Nonno Atilio is the story of America. What a special, beautiful thing: a WOP, an undocumented immigrant, just trying to survive at first, who ends up touching the hearts of the children and parents of a small Midwestern community to such an extent that they affectionately rename a street after him with the appellation by which he was so affectionately known. On this Thankgiving Day I will make a toast to Nonno Atilio and to those who came before, to the prior generations who sacrificed and struggled to make the lives we enjoy today possible. And while we honor the Nonnos who have touched our lives, may we also keep in mind that among our present generation, some of the most fruitful contributors to the next generation may also be very much like Nonno Atilio: They too may not be able to read or write, may be without papers, and will most certainly have their own “issues.” But despite their particular hardships, they may very well contribute more to the next generation than those of us, who by luck of birth, have faced much less adversity. May we have the wisdom to welcome and embrace them as the proud Americans in Green Hills, Ohio, welcomed and embraced Nonno Atilio.

hanksgiving Day, our national day of giving thanks, is also a brief respite before the crazed Christmas holiday season. Whether in shopping, parties, food, drink, Americans have taken the celebration of the birth of a baby in a manger and turned it into a time of excess that diminishes the sacred nature of Christmas. For Christians, the celebration is about the birth of a savior, a deeply religious feast. For many Americans, a more secular Christmas has replaced the original holiday. But even within that generic American celebration — Santa, tree and gifts galore — there should be a deeper meaning. Excess at Christmas can be focused on giving to those in need. Over the holidays, workplaces have food drives. Charities seek extra help to feed the hungry and house the homeless. Nonprofits remind us to give before the end of the year to take advantage of tax write-offs. It’s a season of giving, not just to families and friends, but to those who truly need our help. At The New Mexican, the newspaper sponsors the Empty Stocking Fund each year, offering a means of helping neighbors facing immediate emergencies. In 2013, donations from our community exceeded $183,000, helping 151 families in need. Whether paying a utility bill, a doctor, or providing food, all donations went directly to people who needed assistance. (All administrative costs are absorbed by The Santa Fe New Mexican, The Santa Fe Community Foundation, The Salvation Army, Presbyterian Medical Services and First National of Santa Fe.) Donations are accepted online at www.santafenew mexican.com/empty_stocking. Checks can be sent to The New Mexican’s Empty Stocking Fund c/o The Santa Fe Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1827, Santa Fe, NM 87504-1827. Donations of services — roofing, home repairs, plumbing — also are appreciated. For those, contact Roberta at Presbyterian Medical Services at 983-8968. To contribute clothing, furniture, household goods or food, contact The Salvation Army at 988-8054. Even a load of firewood can be a lifesaver during a cold winter. Beginning on Thanksgiving, the newspaper will begin publishing stories about the people this project reaches. (Online applications for assistance are being taken through Dec. 14.) We also publish lists of donors, many of whom give in honor of friends and family. It’s a way of strengthening community ties. Remember, as we gather to feast, count our many blessings — and most importantly, share those blessings with our neighbors.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican Nov. 27, 1914: Tucumcari — Sudan grass is the most valuable hay crop ever introduced into New Mexico, according to the experiments made this year at Tucumcari experiment station. Victor H. Schoffelmeyer, editor of The Southwest Trail, published by the Rock Island lines, Chicago, has been in Tucumcari investigating Sudan grass and was told said grass pit-yielded all the millet and some of the canes this year and that as a hay crop it would take a high place among New Mexico grasses. Nov. 27, 1989: Window Rock, Ariz. — A Navajo tribal judge today rejected suspended Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald’s request for a court-appointed attorney to defend him against tribal bribery and fraud charges. MacDonald will to be arraigned Wednesday on more than 100 counts filed against him. Judge Robert Yazzie of Window Rock District Court originally had set MacDonald’s arraignment for Nov. 17, but postponed the proceedings after MacDonald told him he could not afford to hire a lawyer. MacDonald filed a petition to be declared indigent but Yazzie rejected the petition opining that MacDonald is “clearly far better off financially than all but a handful of Navajos” and that he needed to find his own counsel.

She said several national media outlets have contacted her to request interviews since the Post published its story, and she agreed to an interview with The Taos News later this week. Motsinger took to her public Facebook page Tuesday to explain why she kept quiet about the alleged rape for so long and why she decided to come forward. “I just didn’t feel like I could come out and tell the world what he did to me,” Motsinger wrote. “My mother has

Cosby’s attorney, Martin Singer, issued a statement earlier this month in response to mounting sexual assault allegations against Cosby that have made headlines in recent weeks.

“These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years,” part of the statement reads. Cosby has refused to discuss details of the allegations with reporters, and told a Florida newspaper “a guy doesn’t have to answer to innuendos.” The Taos News is a sister paper of The Santa Fe New Mexican.

Residents in Hobbs to decide on voter ID By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Voters in one of New Mexico’s booming oil and gas communities are set to decide on a measure that would require a photo ID in local elections in what is the latest battleground over requiring strict identification to cast ballots. A special election in Hobbs next month to amend the city’s charter comes after a number of cities and states across the country have enacted similar voter ID measures despite objections from civil rights groups. Supporters of the measures say the new laws would help eliminate potential in-person voter impersonation and increase public confidence in elections. But civil rights groups say such laws disproportionately affect blacks, Latinos, senior citizens and the poor by unduly restricting voting and imposing unnecessary costs. “These people just need to quit,” NAACP Hobbs Branch President Joseph Cotton said. “This is all about discouraging people from going out to vote.” Organizers behind the Hobbs initiative, which resulted from a petition drive, say their efforts are part of a larger movement to enact voter ID legislation across the country and not because there were widespread voter irregularities in the southeastern New Mexico city. “We’re not seeing a whole lot of fraud down here,” said Shon Williams, head of the Patriots of Lea County, one of the groups pushing for the change in Hobbs. “But if we get this passed here, we can get it passed in other cities and eventually get it statewide.” Bob Wright, spokesman for the New Mexico Citizens Coalition, a group behind the petition, said the movement is a result of “national concern over the integrity of the vote.” The group is planning pushes in other New Mexico cities. Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, two of the biggest cities in the state, already require photo ID for local elections. Previous efforts to get a statewide law have stalled in legislative committees. In recent years, 34 states have passed laws requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Cotton said a coalition of black and Latino groups has launched a counter campaign aimed at convincing Hobbs residents that an ID requirement would affect turnout in future elections. If the measure passes, voters will be required to show a photo ID during municipal elections. If voters don’t have identification, the city will provide it free of charge. Meanwhile, recently reelected Secretary of State Dianna Duran said she’ll again push state lawmakers to consider a voter ID law. She called the special election in Hobbs “encouraging.” “Voter ID is one component of electoral integrity that municipalities can enact to provide integrity for their own elections, and I certainly hope the people of Hobbs take this opportunity to do so,” Duran said.

Rebirth of ground game has teams running wild By Ralph D. Russo

Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine, center, sprints toward the end zone on a touchdown run ahead of Kansas’ Ben Heeney, left, and Kansas’ Ben Goodman in the second quarter of Saturday’s game in Norman, Okla.

The Associated Press

There goes Melvin Gordon, ripping off another long run. And there’s Samaje Perine piling up yards in punishing fashion. Oh, look, here comes Tevin Coleman — and there he goes, sprinting away from a bunch of flailing defenders. College football teams have been running wild this season, averaging more yards per carry and per game than at any time in recent years. Having game-breakers such as Gordon,

SUE OGROCKI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Perine and Coleman carrying the ball has helped lead this ground game revolution, but something more is happening. Defenses that have been built to withstand getting bombarded by passes and had been stretched thin by spread offenses for years are now finding it hard to plug holes. Offenses have rediscovered the running game, doing so with diversity and creativity. “I don’t think there’s any question there is some correlation,” said

u Detroit starts crucial homestand, beginning with Bears. PAGE B-4

ARLINGTON, Texas ony Romo still talks about wishing he had been on the field instead of at home following back surgery when the Cowboys lost a playoffs-or-bust finale to Philadelphia last season. Eleven months and yet another back injury later, the Dallas quarterback will be out there Thursday against Mark Sanchez when these NFC East rivals play on Thanksgiving for the first time in 25 years with the division lead on the line. No postseason fates will be sealed this time. Instead, a pair of 8-3 teams in good playoff posi-

tion at the moment will play the first of two games against each other just 18 days apart. “I don’t think you’re going to decide the division right here,” Romo said. “But we also understand the importance of it.” Romo will see how his back responds to the first quick turnaround since surgery for a herniated disk last December, followed by two small fractures in his back sustained last month on a sack against Washington. The Cowboys will kick off about 90 hours after Romo rallied them past the New York Giants 31-28 with a late touchdown pass to Dez Bryant.

The 34-year-old Romo has 22 touchdowns and three interceptions since throwing three interceptions in the first half of the opener against San Francisco. He’s had a quarterback rating of at least 135 in three of the past four games. “He doesn’t look like he has any back issues,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. For Sanchez, the question is more about rust than rest. After missing all of last season with a shoulder injury, he will make his fourth start since Nick Foles went down with a broken collarbone. Sanchez has 985 yards passing and five touchdowns with four interceptions in three starts. In his four games, he’s already matched Romo’s interception total of six. “The one thing with Mark that I think everybody forgets is he missed an entire year last year, and he’s only played 3½ games for us so far this year,” Kelly said. “There’s still a growing process for him

Seahawks, 49ers meet for 1st time this season By Janie McCauley The Associated Press

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick passes against the Washington Redskins during the first quarter of Sunday’s game in Santa Clara, Calif. TONY AVELAR/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Richard Sherman’s leaping deflection of a pass headed for Michael Crabtree in the corner of the end zone was the defining moment to seal last January’s NFC championship game that sent the Seattle Seahawks on their way to a Super Bowl win. The tip landed right in the hands of Malcolm Smith for the interception. Sherman’s mouthy response afterward — along with a choking gesture toward Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers bench — will certainly fuel San Francisco as the NFC West rivals face off Thursday night for the first of two important matchups in a three-week span. “It was cool just to clinch the game like that,” defensive end Cliff Avril

SAN ANTONIO — With Gregg Popovich resting after a medical procedure, Manu Ginobili had a throwback game while Spurs 106 playing under former coach Pacers 100 Ettore Messina for the first time in 13 years. Ginobili had 21 of his 28 points in the second half and the San Antonio Spurs won without coach Popovich, rallying for a 106-100 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. Popovich missed the game after undergoing what the team is calling a minor medical procedure. He is expected to miss Friday’s home game against Sacramento, too. Messina took over for Popovich, becoming the first European-born coach to run an NBA team in the regular season. “It’s just great to see [Manu] get his legs underneath him; get an opportunity to make some shots,” Spurs veteran Tim Duncan said before teasing his fiery coach. “I think he’s going to talk to somebody about not having Pop here anymore and letting coach Messina let him play like that.”

said. “No better person to do it than Sherm and Malcolm getting it.” Sherman made the play, then patted Crabtree on the backside while extending his hand for a shake, prompting the 49ers wideout to shove the brash cornerback in the face. After that 23-17 victory at Century Link Field, Sherman took it much further. “I was making sure everybody knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver,” Sherman said. “And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver that’s what happens.” Sherman was later fined for

Arizona (6-0) survived a stiff semifinal challenge against Kansas State and faced a bigger one against the athletic Aztecs (5-1). The Wildcats traded blows in this heavyweight bout in paradise, coming up with the big plays down the stretch to win their 33rd straight regular-season non-conference game. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson gave Arizona his usual exuberant boost and scored 14 points, while the Wildcats closed in around San Diego State defensively in the second half to add to the Maui title they won in 2000.

TCU still fighting for spotlight SCOREBOARD By Jim Vertuno

The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — For years, TCU fought to punch its way in to the old Bowl Championship Series, having to win on the field and in the public debate over whether the Horned Frogs were worthy of such lofty status. Joining the Big 12 was supposed to solve all that. But here they are again, chasing a league title but still sitting just outside of a potential berth in the new College Football Playoff heading in to a Thanksgiving night game at Texas. Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson won’t engage in the debate yet. “We don’t have anything to talk about unless we can win the next two ball games,” Patterson said. “Then you can decide if you want to go sit down and have communication. Up to this point in time, it’s useless.” All winning does is guarantee more arguing. But there won’t be any debate if No. 5 TCU (9-1, 6-1, No. 5 CFP) should lose Thursday night: They’ll be out of the playoff picture. “If you worry about that, eventually you won’t be in it anyway because you’ll mess up and lose,” TCU safety Sam Carter said. TCU didn’t impress anybody by struggling against a bad Kansas team two weeks ago. But that game came after a big win over then-No. 7 Kansas State and the Horned Frogs were likely ripe for a letdown. Playing a traditional rival like Texas with so much on

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

the line is an entirely different matter. And Texas’ three-game winning streak likely got their attention as well. That late surge has Texas (6-5, 5-3) bowl-eligible under first-year coach Charlie Strong. A year ago, Texas was in the Big 12 title chase until the final game. Now the Longhorns still need a win to guarantee a winning season. “I think it would really set the foundation of this program,” under Strong, senior wide receiver John Harris said.

“We’ve got this team believing in themselves again.” Here’s a few things to watch when Texas and TCU play Thursday night: Pressure’s on: All the pressure is on TCU. The Horned Frogs are in the hunt for league and national championships while Texas settled into a rebuilding year. TCU proved it can fight back from early deficits and West Virginia and Kansas, but if Texas grabs early momentum, the Longhorns may never let up.

Big Malcolm: Running back Malcolm Brown leads Texas in rushing, but it’s junior defensive tackle “Big Malcolm” Brown who is arguably the Longhorns’ best player. Brown has been a dominant force on the interior of the line with 6½ sacks and 14 tackles for losses. He’s also a finalist for the Nagurski Award given to college football’s best defensive player. If he can collapse the pocket around TCU’s Trevone Boykin, he can disrupt the Horned Frogs’ entire offense. Big play Harris: Harris was an after-thought under former coach Mack Brown. Under Strong, he’s been Texas go-to playmaker. Harris had a total of nine catches for 190 yards his first three seasons under Brown. This year, he’s been one of the best targets in the Big 12 with 976 yards and seven touchdowns. Third quarter: Texas has been terrible in the third quarter, scoring a total of 23 points in the third all season. It could once again be the time TCU either stretches a lead or plays catch-up. Quarterbacks: Whether passing or running, Boykin makes everything happen for TCU and averages over 300 yards passing and 50 yards rushing, but Texas may have the one defense that can bottle him up. The Longhorns’ Tyrone Swoopes has been erratic, good one week, bad the next. A win over a No. 5 opponent on Thanksgiving night could answer a lot of questions about his future as the starter.

Wild: Teams get over 250 yards per game Continued from Page B-1 Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, whose spread offense has always strived for a more balanced approach. “I think defenses … are improved in stopping spread offenses and I think teams are leaning back more toward the run than they did maybe a few years ago.” Eighteen FBS teams are averaging more than 250 yards rushing per game. Last season, just 13 did that. The year before it was eight. In 2011 it was seven. In 2009, four teams averaged more than 250 yards rushing per game, and three of them were triple-option teams: Georgia Tech, Air Force and Navy. Nationally, yards per carry in FBS was 4.22 in 2008. In 2011, it had inched up to 4.28. Then it jumped to 4.40 in 2012 and this season it’s 4.50. “I’ve seen it come full circle,” said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, a coaching descendent of Hal Mumme and Mike Leach’s pass-happy Air Raid offense. He’s developed a more balanced approach in recent years. California coach Sonny Dykes, another member of the Air Raid family tree, said one of the first steps toward making the Air Raid more grounded was changing the way offensive linemen lined up. In the Air Raid and schemes like it,

offensive linemen take wide splits, setting up several yards apart. This forces defenses to spread from side to side, putting more distance between edge pass rushers and quarterbacks and creating clearer throwing lanes. The down side came in the running game. “It really limits the schemes that you can run from the run-game perspective,” Dykes said. “We all felt like we wanted to have a little bit more run game. As a result the splits of the offensive linemen started to change. Instead of really wide they were close together. That allowed more pulling and that type of thing.” When those pass-heavy teams did start running the ball, what they found was defenses that had shrunk. Instead of the standard 4-3 (four defensive linemen and three linebackers) or 3-4 alignments, many teams had gone to a 4-2-5 set up or something similar with extra defensive back to cover extra receivers. “People recruit to stop the spread. A lot of times those guys are more space players than box players,” said Baylor coach Art Briles, whose version of the spread has become as good at running through opponents as it is at throwing over them. TCU coach Gary Patterson, a former defensive coordinator who converted to a spread offense this season, said stopping

the run is all about numbers and leverage. “Trying to find ways to get more people in the box because they can stretch you vertically,” he said. “That’s the million-dollar question for defensive coordinators on a week-to-week basis against those kinds of offenses.” It’s not just the spread though. Wisconsin doesn’t spread the field, but few teams run the ball better than the Badgers and Heisman Trophy contender Gordon, who set an FBS record with 408 yards rushing against Nebraska two weeks ago — only have it broken the very next Saturday by Perine. Oklahoma’s fabulous freshman went for 427 against Kansas. Chris Brown, author of the book The Essential Smart Football, said he sees more teams using misdirection — the offense flows one direction and the runner goes the other — and presnap motion to freeze defenders and spring runners. “Either through the option stuff, whether it’s triple-option or read-option, but then also just fakes: Fake sweeps, fake counters. Window dressing for your base plays have come back in vogue,” Brown said. “Both Auburn and Wisconsin, who run pretty different offenses, both of them run a lot of those jet sweeps and they fake a lot of jets sweeps before handing off to pretty good running backs.”

Spurs: Cavs win, get revenge on Wizards Continued from Page B-1 After struggling with various leg injuries over the past few seasons, Ginobili resembled the high-flying star that played for Bologna in 2001 under Messina before joining the Spurs. Ginobili helped the Spurs go on a 16-2 run in the fourth quarter in rallying for their fifth straight victory. CAVALIERS 113, WIZARDS 87 In Cleveland, LeBron James scored 29 points, Kevin Love added 21 and the Cavaliers exacted a little revenge on Washington. Five days after they were embarrassed in a 91-78 loss to Washington, the Cavs controlled this one from the start and got back to .500. NETS 99, 76ERS 91 In Philadelphia, Alan Anderson scored 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, and the Nets extended the 76ers’ seasonopening skid to 15 games — matching a franchise record. Philadelphia rallied from a 20-point deficit in the first half to the lead early in the fourth quarter, but Anderson and Mirza Teletovic led the way for Brooklyn in the final period.

Teletovic had six of his nine points in the fourth. WARRIORS 111, MAGIC 96 In Orlando, Fla., Stephen Curry had 28 points, including six 3-pointers, and Golden State rolled to its seventh consecutive win. Curry rested in the fourth quarter of Golden State’s third consecutive win over the Magic. The Warriors led by as many as 27 in the second half. MAVERICKS 109, KNICKS 102 (OT) In Dallas, Tyson Chandler set season highs with 17 points and 25 rebounds against his former team, helping the Mavericks to an overtime victory against the Knicks, who were missing Carmelo Anthony. J.R. Smith, starting with Anthony sidelined by back spasms, was 1 of 10 from the field entering the fourth quarter. But he made a tying jumper with 0.9 seconds left in regulation. TRAIL BLAZERS 105, HORNETS 97 In Charlotte, N.C., Wesley Matthews scored a season-high 28 points, and the Trail Blazers defeated the Hornets for their ninth consecutive victory. Matthews was 10 of 15

from the field and 6 of 9 from 3-point range as Portland (12-3) improved to 7-0 against Eastern Conference teams. RAPTORS 126, HAWKS 115 In Atlanta, DeMar DeRozan scored 27 points, Lou Williams added 22 and Toronto earned its sixth consecutive victory. The Eastern Conference-leading Raptors had their highest point total of the season. They have won 11 of 12 to match the best stretch in the franchise’s 20-year history, also accomplished from March 22 to April 14, 2002. ROCKETS 102, KINGS 89 In Houston, James Harden scored 26 points to power the Rockets to their third straight win. Harden was 10 for 31 in one of his worst shooting performances of the season, but also had eight assists and seven rebounds. THUNDER 97, JAZZ 82 In Oklahoma City, Reggie Jackson scored 22 points, and the Thunder snapped a sixgame skid. Jeremy Lamb scored 21 points and Serge Ibaka added 20 for the Thunder, who shot 48 percent.

SUNS 120, NUGGETS 112 In Phoenix, Gerald Green scored 24 points for Phoenix, and Eric Bledsoe had 21. Green made 6 of 11 3-pointers, and the Suns won for the fifth time in six games. Goran Dragic added 20 points for Phoenix, which ended Denver’s five-game winning streak. BUCKS 103, TIMBERWOLVES 86 In Minneapolis, Larry Sanders had 15 points, seven rebounds and five blocks to help the Bucks to a victory at the Timberwolves. Brandon Knight scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter for the Bucks (9-7), who have won five of their last seven games in a spirited start under new coach Jason Kidd. Jabari Parker added 11 points and 7 boards. CLIPPERS 104, PISTONS 98 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Jamal Crawford scored 25 points and Chris Paul had 23, leading the Clippers to the road win. Blake Griffin added 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for Los Angeles, which outscored Detroit 32-25 in the final period.

Their previous winning record came in 2009, when they beat Philadelphia in the playoffs for their only postseason win since 1997. “I just feel like our record is 0-0 and we’re trying to go get a win,” Romo said.

RG3 benched: Redskins to start Colt McCoy vs. Indy ASHBURN, Va. — Move over, RG3. It’s Colt vs. the Colts. The Washington Redskins will start Colt McCoy over Robert Griffin III on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, the latest development in a stunning slide for the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. “My job is to do everything we can to win. ... At this time, I just feel like Colt gives us a better opportunity,” coach Jay Gruden told Colts reporters on a conference call Wednesday. The Redskins are 0-3 since Griffin returned

win against Arizona on Sunday, and needs to get his body healed up in a hurry. Quarterback Russell Wilson outgained him. His troublesome sore back has hindered him this season. Lynch ran for 124 yards the previous week facing the Chiefs and 140 the game before that against the Giants. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, for one, is counting on Lynch’s best. “ ‘Beast Mode,’ I’ve heard him referred to that complimentary,” Harbaugh said. “Hard. Aggressive. Tough runner. Talented.” Boldin’s hands: Anquan Boldin has 86 receptions for 1,091 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games against Seattle, including the playoffs. Seattle’s secondary will have its hands full. Boldin has at least five catches in each of his past six games, and had nine for 137 yards in last week’s win against Washington. Bowman no go: NaVorro Bowman certainly hoped to be back by now, in time to face Seattle again. He went down

from an ankle injury and have scored only one touchdown in each of the last two games. The former No. 2 overall draft pick seemed poised to revolutionize the quarterback position with his arm and legs when he led Washington to the playoffs two years ago, but he is 4-14 as a starter since the start of the 2013 season. He has struggled in an attempt to transform into a traditional pocket-passer. Gruden said Griffin “just needs a little more time” to master the team’s offensive scheme. He said Griffin will serve as the No. 2 quarterback on Sunday. “He wasn’t happy,” Gruden said, “nor would I expect him to be happy.” The Associated Press

While his 21-day window to be activated is into its second week, Harbaugh said the 2013 All-Pro still wasn’t ready to practice and would continue with his rehab. “I wouldn’t say disappointing is the word. Obviously we want to have him back on the field, but it has to be when he’s ready, when he’s healthy,” Kaepernick said. AP sports writer Tim Booth in Seattle contributed to this report.

Australian cricket player dies after being hit in head with ball SYDNEY — Test batsman Phillip Hughes died in a Sydney hospital on Thursday, two days after being struck in the head by a cricket ball during a domestic first-class match. He was 25. “It is my sad duty to inform you that a short time ago Phillip Hughes passed away,” Australian team doctor Peter Brukner said in a statement. “He never regained consciousness following his injury on Tuesday.” Brukner said Hughes was not in pain before he died, and was surrounded by family and close friends. “As a cricket community we mourn his loss and extend our deepest sympathies to Phillip’s family and friends at this

incredibly sad time,” Brukner said. Messages of support poured in from all around the world since Hughes collapsed after being hit behind the left ear after mis-timing a shot to a short-pitch delivery while batting for South Australia against New South Wales in a Sheffield Shield match on Tuesday. He underwent emergency surgery at nearby St. Vincent’s Hospital and remained in a critical condition in an induced coma. Australia captain Michael Clarke was among the dozens of teammates, former teammates and cricket officials who visited hospital in the following days. The Associated Press

Wildcats: Play for packed, rowdy crowd Continued from Page B-1 with 17 seconds to go and Winston Shepard hit a 3 with less than a second left, but it wasn’t enough for the Aztecs. Kell and Shepard had 14 points each to lead San Diego State, which made 11 of 29 shots in the second half. An Arizona-San Diego State title game was what college basketball fans hoped for when the Maui Invitational brackets came out. San Diego State got here by outlasting BYU in double overtime and dominating Pittsburgh in the semifinals. Arizona pulled away from Missouri in its opener and pulled out a tight one against Kansas State. That set up a marquee matchup in a budding rivalry. Arizona has gotten the best of SDSU in recent years, winning three straight, including a thriller in Honolulu in 2012 and the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament last season. The game lived up to the under-the-spotlight billing, two athletic teams trading baskets, elbows and floor burns in front of a packed-and-rowdy Lahaina Civic Center crowd. BUTLER 74, NO. 5 NORTH CAROLINA 66 In Paradise Island, Bahamas, Alex Barlow and Kelan Martin each scored 17 points and Butler hung on to upset No. 5 North Carolina 74-66 on Wednesday in the opening game of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Roosevelt Jones added 12 points for the Bulldogs (4-0), who topped the Tar Heels in an early season tournament for the second time in two meetings. Butler beat North Carolina at the Maui Invitational in 2012, blowing the game open in the first half of that meeting. OKLAHOMA 75, NO. 22 UCLA 65 In Paradise Island, Bahamas, Bahamas native Buddy Hield scored 24 points, Frank Booker added 11 and Oklahoma beat UCLA in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Hield was born in Freeport and lived there until moving to Kansas as a high school junior. NO. 2 WISCONSIN 72, UAB 43 In Paradise Island, Bahamas, Frank Kaminsky had 16 points and eight rebounds, Duje Dukan scored 11 points and Wisconsin had no trouble beat-

ing Alabama-Birmingham in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Josh Gasser added 10 points to help the Badgers (5-0) win their 21st straight regular-season nonconference game. Wisconsin will play Georgetown in the semifinals. GEORGETOWN 66, NO. 18 FLORIDA 65 (OT) In Paradise Island, Bahamas, D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera made a jumper with 3.4 seconds left in overtime to give Georgetown a victory over Florida in the Battle 4 Atlantis. It was the 21st and final lead change of the night, and sent the Hoyas (4-0) into the semifinals. NO. 4 DUKE 93, FURMAN 54 In Durham, N.C., Freshman Jahlil Okafor had a season-high 24 points and Duke routed Furman. Okafor finished 12 of 14 and has missed only five shots in three games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. NO. 6 LOUISVILLE 45, CLEVELAND STATE 33 In Louisville, Ky., Montrezl Harrell had 15 points and 13 rebounds and Louisville beat Cleveland State for coach Rick Pitino’s 700th college victory. One of five active Hall of Fame coaches and among four in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Pitino is 700-245 overall and 346-117 in 14 seasons with the Cardinals. NO. 10 GONZAGA 88, GEORGIA 76 In New York, Kyle Wiltjer scored a career-high 32 points and Gonzaga beat Georgia in the NIT Season Tip-Off semifinals. Kevin Pangos added 22 points, six assists and three steals for Gonzaga (5-0). The Bulldogs will play St. John’s in the championship game Friday night. St. John’s beat Minnesota 70-61 in the first semifinal. NO. 16 OHIO ST. 91, CAMPBELL 64 In Columbus, Ohio, Marc Loving scored a career-high 18 points and Ohio State again shot well from the field in beating Campbell in Buckeye Classic. NO. 21 WEST VIRGINIA 103, VMI 72 In Charletson, W.Va., freshman reserve Jevon Carter scored 28 points and West Virginia forced a school-record 36 turnovers in a win over VMI.

Keep alert, stay safe Exercise caution, watch for animals while driving along country roads

SKIING

‘War Horse’ chases elusive World Cup podium finish By Pat Graham The Associated Press

Electrified road mats like this have been tested by the New Mexico Department of Transportation. Designed as a preventative measure to keep wildlife off the roads, they give animals a mild but harmless shock. PHOTOS COURTESY NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

the entire time,” she said. “They were out in herds, just standing along the side of the road.” The key, officials say is maintaining a safe speed and being aware that animals — big and small — are completely unpredictable. Oftentimes, they freeze at the sight of oncoming headlights. Other times, they dart across the road just as the vehicle approaches. In New Mexico, there were nearly 10,000 reports filed between 2002 and 2011 of vehicles colliding with large animals, most of which involved deer. A Transportation Department report identified 7,460 accidents involving a deer in that span, and 1,839 with elk. Several factors are in play for the constant run-ins with man and beast. Seasonal migration of some species make road crossings necessary. Same, too, are needs for food, water, fresh habitats and even mating. Not all accidents are reported, however. The Transportation Department estimates that half of all vehicle-animal collisions are never called in to law enforcement. As is often the case, animals are hit but the vehicles leave the scene without calling the authorities.

We’ve all seen the remnants of those violent collisions; crumpled animal carcasses in various states of decomposition on the shoulder of the road. The so-called roadkill is an unavoidable way of life, it seems. Or is it? The Transportation Department has taken steps in recent years to prevent such occurrences. Representatives from several state and tribal agencies convened in Tijeras Canyon near Albuquerque to test mitigation projects that include wildlife fencing and electrified road mats and barriers, according to the Transportation Department. Embedded across the road, the mats give animals a mild shock in an attempt to limit their access to the roadway. Other options include funnels that force migrating animals to use predetermined safe zones — be it rehabilitated overpasses or substructure culverts — to cross congested areas free of traffic. Steps are also being taken to reduce vegetation around the roadway. Grasses and certain types of growth have been linked as possible draws for wildlife around roads. Many times the fences that line highways along private property do little to deter animals from accessing the pavement or standing along the shoulder. In 2013, the state Legislature approved a measure directing the Transportation Department, the Department of Game and Fish, and the state police to initiate a pilot program to improve safety conditions in two accident-prone areas. One is along U.S. 550 near Cuba. The other is on Interstate 25 near Raton. But those are two of many areas common to accidents. Fact is, roads cut through the natural habitat of several species and the place where animals cross the road is nothing more than an intersection where human progress meets an animal’s need to survive. No matter what measures are taken, the undeniable fact remains this: Wildlife will always find their way on to New Mexico’s highways and roads. The best advice for drivers is be aware, play it safe and proceed with caution.

n evening drive along the spider web of highways and back roads of Northern New Mexico can be a harrowing experience, and it has nothing to do with the lack of gas stations or intolerant law enforcement officials handing out tickets to speeders just barely above the limit. As beautiful as the landscape can be, it can also be a veritable gauntlet of car-versus-wildlife encounters. Almost everyone who lives here has a near-miss tale to spin with friends and family. They’re usually all the same: Sailing along at some undetermined speed, then out of nowhere an elk, deer, sheep or even a bear, dog, cougar or game animal like a rabbit or small bird pops out on the road right in front of you. Some avoid a collision. Others don’t. New Mexican photographer Luis Sánchez-Saturno was riding his motorcycle with a group of friends near Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort in July 2012 when he hit a deer. The impact killed the animal, caused extensive damage to the motorcycle and created a survival story that still resonates around the newsroom. Tales like that are commonplace, but according to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, not all end on a positive note. Each year in the U.S., about 200 people are killed in collisions with animals and about 30,000 are injured. Property damage is estimated at more than $1 billion. A recent report by the Department of Transportation has some common-sense recommendations, citing studies that suggest slower speeds and more attentive driving can give people more time to react to animals in the roadway and avoid accidents. That’s not always easy this time of year, particularly during the busy holiday season when people are making commutes to visit friends or family, or just going on vacation. The time of day can also be a factor. Wildlife is more active at night or in the pre-dawn hours. Anyone who

Culverts under existing roads can be rehabilitated, like this one near Tijeras Canyon, to allow large animals to pass safely through traffic zones without crossing highways, thereby endangering motorists.

SAVE DRIVING TIPS The New Mexico Department of Transportation has a few commonsense tips to avoid collisions with animals along the state’s highways: u Maintain a safe speed at or below the posted limit. u Stay vigilant; animals often stay out of sight until the last possible second. u Drive during the day, if possible, since most animals are more active at night or in the pre-dawn hours.

has made the drive north on U.S. 64, an east-west highway between the Four Corners area that runs through Taos and ends at Interstate 25 near Raton, knows that experience all too well. The road runs through wooded, mountainous areas that lie smack in the middle of natural habitats for New Mexico’s largest game animals like deer and elk. Rio Rancho resident Lori Murphy makes the drive along U.S. 64 toward Southern Colorado all the time. During a recent trip, she estimates she drove by at least four dozen deer and elk. “It was a white-knuckle experience

COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. — The end of a ski season usually brings another surgery for Andrew Weibrecht followed by weeks and weeks of recovery. No operations this summer, though. Not one ache or pain, either. It’s been ages since he’s felt this good. Weibrecht’s confidence is healed, too. But that’s expected, since he did capture a surprise silver in the super-G at the Sochi Olympics last February. That medal pairs nicely with his bronze from the Vancouver Games — both encased in glass and on display at his family’s resort in Lake Placid, N.Y. Healthy for once heading into a season, Weibrecht chases after an omission from his portfolio — a World Cup podium finish. In 99 career starts, the hard-charging skier nicknamed “War Horse” has yet to finish better than seventh. “A lot of guys win World Cup races and then Olympic medals,” said the 28-year-old Weibrecht, who’s scheduled to compete in the speed events at Lake Louise, Alberta, this weekend. “I just did it backward, that’s all.” Then again, Weibrecht’s career hasn’t exactly taken the most conventional route, which was never more evident than in Sochi when he took the off-the-beaten path to a medal. He started late in the field that day and was hardly considered a favorite, especially since he wasn’t skiing all that well entering the race. Bursting out of the starting gate, he quickly noticed that all the tracks in the snow from other skiers were way higher than his intended path down the hill. He stuck with his plan, though, and didn’t follow the crowd, finding speed in areas where others couldn’t. He finished less than a half-second behind winner Kjetil Jansrud of Norway, which pushed teammate Bode Miller and Jan Hudec of Canada down a position and into a tie for third. “I made my plan and said, ‘Whatever happens, happens.’ I was going to be true to myself,” Weibrecht recounted. “I had nothing really to lose. Because nobody really pays attention that much if you don’t do it. “People pay attention only if you do.” Unless your name is Bode Miller, of course. The headlines after the race weren’t so much Weibrecht oriented as Miller driven. Not that Weibrecht minded taking a back seat to Miller after the iconic skier captured his sixth Olympic medal. “Bode’s Bode,” Weibrecht said. “That’s basically what it comes down to, anyway. I’ve never really sought the media attention. I do this because I love it. It’s as simple as that.” That medal, though, represented more than just Weibrecht’s ability to shine on the biggest of stages, when the world is watching. He overcame quite a bit to achieve it: Four operations in the last four years — to fix each shoulder and ankle — losing funding from the U.S. Ski Team at one point, and not even a lock to make the roster for Sochi. For 1 minute, 18.44 seconds, he lived up to his nickname “War Horse,” attacking the course with unbridled fury. Just like he did that afternoon in Vancouver four years earlier, when he finished behind winner Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway and runner-up Miller. “I went in and finally had a shred of confidence in my skiing,” Weibrecht said. “I was able to parlay that [confidence] into that run.”

This Thanksgiving, James McDow and his Shetland Sheepdog, McKenzie Gold, have much to be thankful for: each other. McDow promised his late wife, Kathryn, he would take great care of her beloved Sheltie, "Kenzie." So when the 4-year-old Lassie - look - alike disappeared from McDowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eldorado home earlier this year, he was devastated. Three and a half weeks later, after nearly giving up hope, Kenzie was found after a rancher spotted her on his property near the Eldorado hills. McDow credits the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to countless friends, neighbors and strangers throughout Eldorado and the Santa Fe community who never gave up looking for her, as well as the ad he placed in the Santa Fe New Mexican Classifieds that ran from the day she went missing until the day she was found. "People tell me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle she made it back," smiles McDow. "But this miracle might not have happened if not for the support of so many people, walking the fields, calling her name, posting signs along the roads and highways while looking for her. I am so grateful." McDow is hosting a Thanksgiving feast today for his son, two grandchildren, and Kenzie. If Kenzie goes outside, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on a leash.

Today in history Today is Thursday, Nov. 27, the 331st day of 2014. There are 34 days left in the year. This is Thanksgiving Day. Today’s highlight in history: On Nov. 27, 1924, Macy’s first Thanksgiving Day parade — billed as a “Christmas Parade” — took place in New York.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your mind seems to drift to family or friends at a distance. Tonight: Get into the warm, friendly nature of the day. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might choose to make this a low-key Thanksgiving, where you prepare dinner for just you and your immediate circle of friends. Tonight: Enjoy some free time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could have more invitations coming your way than you know what to do with. Tonight: Touch base with someone at a distance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could be quite busy, whether you have to do some work or handle a domestic responsibility. Tonight: Take care of loose ends.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Good message for Thanksgiving Dear Readers: Today is Thanksgiving. If you know someone who is alone today, please invite him or her to share your Thanksgiving dinner and help make the occasion truly special. Today we’d like to run a piece that has appeared in this space several times. It was written by Judy Vekasy, a registered nurse and director of activities in a nursing home in Savannah, Tenn. Here it is: In this season of thanksgiving and just plain giving, I have some suggestions for those who need something to be thankful for or those who need someone to allow them to give. Nursing homes are full of opportunities. You say you can’t do anything. Can you read? Good. Read to me. My eyes aren’t what they used to be. Can you write? Good. Write a letter or a card for me. My hands are shaky. Can you sing? Good. Help me with the words and I’ll sing along. Can you tell me about your job? I was a nurse once myself. Can you listen? Wonderful. I’m starved for conversation. Can you bake a sponge cake or zucchini bread or angel biscuits or make fudge? They aren’t on the nursing home menu, but I remember how good they were and I would like to taste them again. Do you play checkers or dominoes or rummy? Fine, so do I, but there is never anyone who has the time. They are understaffed around here, you know. Do you play the violin or the flute or the piano? My hearing is poor, but I can hear any kind of music. Even if I fall asleep, you’ll know I enjoyed it. Once we were somebodies, just like you. We were farmers and farmers’ wives and teachers, nurses, beauticians, stockbrokers and electricians, bankers and sheriffs and maybe a few outlaws, too. We’re not all senile — just old and needing more help than our families can give us. This home, whatever its name, is “home” to us, and

you’re an invited guest. Please come. The welcome mat is always out and not just on Thanksgiving. I hope you will keep this and read it again in January, February, and every other month of the year. We’ll still be here, and our needs will be the same. Dear Readers: To cap off the day, we would like to print one of our favorite poems for Thanksgiving. It first appeared in the Ann Landers column more than 40 years ago, and readers still request it. Thanksgiving Prayer (author unknown) We come to this table today, O Lord, humble and thankful and glad. We thank Thee first for the great miracle of life, for the exaltation of being human, for the capacity to love. We thank Thee for joys both great and simple — For wonder, dreams and hope; For the newness of each day; For laughter and song and a merry heart; For compassion waiting within to be kindled; For the forbearance of friends and the smile of a stranger; For the arching of the earth and trees and heavens and the fruit of all three; For the wisdom of the old; For the courage of the young; For the promise of the child; For the strength that comes when needed; For this family united here today. Of those to whom much is given, much is required. May we and our children remember this. Amen. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Sheinwold’s bridge

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your natural self-expression sometimes can be flirtatious. Be careful, as someone who doesn’t know you well might misread you. Tonight: Make amends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 HHHH You enjoy visiting with others and catching up, but a relaxed pace of staying put might be more appealing right now. Tonight: Know that you can finally veg a little. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH The doorbell might be ringing all day long, as family members seek you out. Tonight: Visit with those around you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could get stuck running some last-minute errands and end up arriving late to Thanksgiving dinner. Tonight: Try not to overindulge.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You’ll smile, and others can’t help but be pulled in. You might be concerned about helping others feel at home. Tonight: Let the party begin! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Tension seems to build around a matter that you might not be able to discuss right now. Tonight: Not to be found. Jacqueline Bigar

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. © 2014 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
