Talks reflect desire to go beyond U.S. coalition By Hamza Hendawi

From false mailers to inaccurate online reports, untruthful attacks abound

CAIRO — Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait are discussing the creation of a military pact to take on Islamic militants, with the possibility of a joint force to intervene around the Middle East, The Associated Press has learned. The alliance would also serve as a show of strength to counterbalance their traditional rival, Shiite-dominated, Iran. Two countries are seen as potential theaters for the alliance to act, senior Egyptian military officials said: Libya, where Islamic militants have taken over several cities, and Yemen, where Shiite rebels suspected of links to Iran have seized control of the capital. The discussions reflect a new assertiveness among the Middle East’s Sunni powerhouses, whose governments — after three years of post-Arab Spring turmoil in the region — have increasingly come to see Sunni Islamic militants and Islamist political movements as a threat.

f this wasn’t the least truthful election in state history, it was a contender. Campaign advertisements have long taken a speck of truth and stretched it beyond recognition to shock and scare, and try to secure votes. But this year saw new extremes in deception, as advocacy groups used outright lies in hopes of sullying candidates they oppose.

One political scientist said 2014 ranks as a watershed for lies in political advertising. “In recent memory, it was the worst,” said Lonna Atkeson, a professor and director of the Center for the Study of Voting, Elections, and Democracy at The University of New Mexico. One recent story that captured her attention was an advocacy group’s allegation that Geoff Rodgers, a Republican candidate for the state House of Representa-

tives, was arrested in Florida years ago but concealed that information from voters. Rodgers says the accusation, made by ProgressNow New Mexico, is false. He said in an interview that he has never been arrested. Rodgers, 52, said his background includes nothing more than a couple of speeding tickets, and even those didn’t occur in Florida, where he once lived.

WASHINGTON — The most expensive midterm campaign in American history stumbled into Election Day on Tuesday with voters’ interest at record lows and their divisions deep over what they want their government to do in President Barack Obama’s final two years. Republicans entered the final hours confident they will gain at least six seats and take control of the Senate, but polls showed several races too close to call. Likely runoffs in Georgia and Louisiana, along with late vote counts in Alaska, Colorado and Iowa, will mean Senate control may remain in doubt beyond Tuesday night. The same could be true for governors’ races in Colorado, New Hampshire, Georgia and Florida. The uncertainty about the outcome is a fitting match for the mood of the nation. A slowly but steadily

After Tuesday, the constant bombardment of political campaign advertising will cease and make way for pre-Christmas sales pitches. Voters will elect a governor — Republican incumbent Susana Martinez or Democratic challenger Gary King — as well as a U.S. senator — incumbent Democrat Tom Udall or GOP candidate Allen Weh.

Martinez campaigned in Southern New Mexico on the eve of Tuesday’s general election, with stops in Hatch, Sunland Park and Mesilla wrapping up a 17-city tour that began last week. King visited senior citizen centers in Santa Fe before heading to the party stronghold of Española in Northern New Mexico and to Albuquerque for a stop at a labor union headquarters, where supporters operated a phone

World Trade Center reopens, 13 years after 9/11 First occupants move into offices designed to be more secure By Verena Dobnik The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The silvery, 1,776-foot skyscraper that rose from the ashes of 9/11 to become a symbol of American resilience opened for business Monday, as 175 employees of the magazine publishing giant Condé Nast settled into their first day of work in their new offices. One World Trade Center’s official opening marked a symbolic return to some sense of normalcy for the site where the towers toppled

more than 13 years ago. “The New York City skyline is whole again,” says Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns both the building and the 16-acre World Trade Center site. Steps away from the new tower are two memorial fountains built on the footprints of the decimated twin towers, a reminder of the more than 2,700 people who died in the terrorist attack. Condé Nast, publisher of Vogue, The New Yorker and

Vanity Fair, is expected to move in about 3,000 more employees by early next year, eventually occupying 25 floors of the $3.9 billion, 104-story tower, the nation’s tallest building. Amid Monday’s celebratory tour of parts of 1 World Trade Center, Condé Nast officials declined to comment on employees’ possible fears about working in the new building. Foye counters that it’s “the most secure office building in

NATION&WORLD ‘Car Talk’ co-host dies at 77 The Associated Press

BOSTON — Tom Magliozzi, one half of the brother duo who hosted National Public Radio’s Car Talk where they bantered with callers and commiserated over their car problems, died Monday of complications from Alzheimer’s disease, the news organization said. He was 77 years old. Car Talk was NPR’s most popular entertainment Tom program for years, Magliozzi reaching more than 4 million people a week on more than 600 radio stations across the country. Car Talk Executive Producer Doug Berman, in a statement posted on NPR’s website, said Magliozzi’s “dominant, positive personality” will be missed. “He and his brother changed public broadcasting forever,” he said. “Before Car Talk, NPR was formal, polite, cautious — even stiff.” The duo, which called themselves “Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers,” dispensed humor and advice about repairing cars. They ended their shows with a catchphrase — “Don’t drive like my brother” — delivered in their signature Boston accents.

WASHINGTON — A cyberattack similar to previous hacker intrusions from China penetrated computer networks for months at USIS, the government’s leading security clearance contractor, before the company noticed, officials and others familiar with an FBI investigation and related official inquiries told The Associated Press. The breach, first revealed by the company and government agencies in August, compromised the private records of at least 25,000 employees at the Homeland Security Department and cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars in lost government contracts. In addition to trying to identify the perpetrators and evaluate the scale of the stolen material, the government inquiries have prompted concerns about why computer detection alarms inside the company failed to quickly notice the hackers and whether federal agencies that hired the company should have monitored its practices more closely. Former employees of the firm, U.S. Investigations Services LLC, also have raised questions about why the company and the government failed to ensure that outdated background reports containing personal data weren’t regularly purged from the company’s computers. Details about the investigation and related inquiries were described by federal officials and others familiar with the case. The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the continuing criminal investigation, the others because of concerns about possible litigation.

Russia is a no-show at nuclear meeting VIENNA — Russia has failed to show up at meeting planning the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit, U.S. and European officials said Monday, in a potentially serious blow to efforts by President Barack Obama to cement his legacy as leaving the world safer from nuclear terrorism than when he took office. The officials said it was not immediately clear whether Russia’s absence meant that Moscow meant to boycott the summit itself or if it was a temporary show of displeasure over Washington’s harsh condemnation of Moscow’s role in Ukraine unrest and its lead in orchestrating Western sanctions and other punitive measures in response. But even if short-term, Russia’s no-show is significant. Only three or four planning meetings are scheduled before the spring of 2016, when the summit is tentatively set to open. With Russia a key global player — and one of the world’s five formally recognized nuclear powers — its input is crucial to setting an agenda. At the last summit this year in The Hague, 35 countries pledged to turn international guidelines on nuclear

Kia, Hyundai settle over emission claims The Obama administration Monday announced a settlement of more than $300 million with South Korean automakers Kia and Hyundai for understating greenhouse-gas emissions from nearly 1.2 million of their cars and trucks. The record fine of $100 million and other penalties were described as the largest enforcement action of its kind under the federal Clean Air Act, in an unusual case involving emissions credits earned by manufacturers for producing low-emission vehicles, Environmental Protection Agency and Justice Department officials said in announcing the agreement. Under the terms of a voluntary consent decree, Hyundai and Kia also will forfeit 4.75 million greenhouse-gas credits, estimated to be worth more than $200 million. Car companies earn the credits for manufacturing vehicles that emit less greenhouse-gas pollution than the law requires.

Recalled GM cars remain unrepaired YONKERS, N.Y. — Nearly nine months after General Motors began recalling millions of its cars for a dangerously defective ignition switch, almost half of the vehicles still have not been fixed.

and a new call center staffed with 72 employees dedicated to contacting those who have not scheduled repairs. But even owners who requested repairs months ago have been waiting, with dealers managing waitlists and dozens of drivers writing to federal regulators in recent weeks asking why it was taking so long. Some of them are also raising safety concerns about the drawn-out timetable, as a recent fatal accident here suggests. GM faces multiple investigations, including a federal criminal inquiry, over its decadelong delay in ordering a recall of the cars with the defective switch, which has been linked to 30 deaths. While GM says it has all the parts to fix every car — produced ahead of schedule by its supplier Delphi Automotive — just 1.26 million, or 53 percent, of those cars have been repaired as of last week.

Migrant boat sinks; 24 dead, 6 rescued ISTANBUL — A boat carrying suspected migrants from Afghanistan and Syria sank Monday off Istanbul’s coast, leaving at least 24 people dead, the city’s governor’s office said. About a dozen people were believed to be missing, while six were rescued. Coast guard vessels, divers and passing fishing boats were scanning the waters just north of the Bosphorus Strait for more survivors. There were about 40 people on board the boat, the coast guard said. It was unclear what caused the vessel to sink or where it had set sail from. The people on board were believed to be from Afghanistan and Syria, said Col. Sakir Cicek, of the Turkish military’s general staff command in the capital, Ankara. Emrecan Kolcu, one of the fishermen involved in the search and rescue operation, said he headed to

Born in Jerusalem case hits court WASHINGTON — Middle Eastern politics infused the Supreme Court’s arguments Monday over a disputed law that would allow Americans born in Jerusalem to list their birthplace as Israel on their U.S. passports. The justices appeared divided over whether the law should be struck down as unconstitutional, as the Obama administration wants, or put into effect as a result of a lawsuit filed by the parents of Jerusalemborn Menachem Zivotofsky. Twelve-year-old Menachem, a baby when the case began in 2003, and his parents sat through the hourlong argument that saw justices wrestle with questions of the president’s primacy in matters of foreign affairs and the effect the court’s eventual decision could have on simmering tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. Justice Elena Kagan called Jerusalem a “tinderbox” at the moment and said the outcome of the case would be watched closely. “History suggests that everything is a big deal with respect to the status of Jerusalem,” Kagan said. On the other side, Justice Antonin Scalia said of the law, “If it is within Congress’ power, what difference does it make whether it antagonizes foreign countries?” New Mexican wire services

WHO to pick new Africa boss Regional office’s staff botched its initial response to Ebola By Maria Cheng The Associated Press

Many questions unanswered in tourist spaceship crash Cause likely will take months to determine By Justin Pritchard The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Federal accident investigators have an early sense of what went wrong before an experimental spaceship designed to ferry tourists beyond the Earth’s atmosphere broke apart during a test flight. But they still don’t know why the craft prematurely shifted its shape prior to the deadly crash. And another question looms: How far will the accident push back the day when paying customers can routinely rocket dozens of miles into the sky for a fleeting feel of weightlessness and a breathtaking view? A team from the National Transportation Safety Board kept working Monday at the Mojave Desert crash site where Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo fell to the ground. The accident killed the co-pilot and badly injured the pilot who parachuted out of the ship Friday. Late Sunday, acting NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart said cockpit video showed that the co-pilot unlocked SpaceShipTwo’s unique “feathering” system earlier than planned. The system works somewhat like the wing flaps that airplanes use to slow for landing — except that SpaceShipTwo’s

twin tails rotate up at a far more extreme angle, to a position that creates strong resistance and slows the descent. But while the co-pilot unlocked the system before planned, that action alone should not have been enough to change the craft’s configuration. Activating the feathering system requires the pulling of a lever, not unlike a gun fires only when the trigger is pulled, not just because the safety has been disengaged. Questions abound: Why did the co-pilot unlock the feathering system at that moment? Why did the tails begin to rotate without the co-pilot starting that process? NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said Monday that investigators believe once the feathers were unlocked, “aerodynamic forces” buffeting the craft as it hurtled along at about 760 mph caused the feathers to start rotating. Within two seconds, the craft began to disintegrate, NTSB investigators determined. SpaceShipTwo is carried aloft on the underside of a jet-powered mother ship. It then drops from that ship and fires its own rocket to head higher. The feathers are not supposed to engage until the craft reaches a speed of Mach 1.4, or more than 1,000 mph, the NTSB’s Hart told

reporters. Knudson stressed that a final cause will take months to determine, and that investigators were looking into other factors, including pilot training, mechanical failure and design flaws. Passenger jets typically fly at about seven miles high. Virgin Galactic envisions flights with six passengers climbing to more than 62 miles above Earth. Seats sell for $250,000 and the company says it has booked passengers including Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher and Russell Brand. The ultimate goal of Virgin Galactic co-owner Richard Branson is to create an industry that can move people around the globe in a fraction of the current time it takes passenger jets, by rocketing them into space and back down. But the company now lacks not only a craft to fly, but also an understanding of what caused the crash. “We need to be absolutely certain our spaceship has been thoroughly tested — and that it will be,” Branson said. “And once it’s thoroughly tested, and we can go to space, we will go to space.” Friday’s crash also could trigger increased government regulation.

LONDON — After acknowledging that it bungled the response to the biggest Ebola outbreak in history, the World Health Organization is electing a new regional director for its Africa office this week. Critics say it’s about time. WHO Africa is widely acknowledged to be the U.N. health agency’s weakest regional office. In an internal draft document obtained by the Associated Press last month, WHO blamed its staff in Africa for initially botching the response to Ebola, describing many of its regional staff as “politically-motivated appointments” and noted numerous complaints about WHO officials in West Africa. WHO has six regional offices including Africa — all of them are largely autonomous and do not answer to the Geneva headquarters. The U.N. agency was intentionally set up as a fragmented organization in 1948 because it was feared existing regional health organizations wouldn’t want to join WHO unless they had a high degree of independence. Whoever is chosen as Africa’s new WHO head probably won’t have a big role in ending

Ebola since the U.N. has already taken charge of control efforts, but the new director could be key to preventing similar disasters in the future.

Las Vegas, N.M., definitely isn’t a GOP stronghold in the state. But Republican Gov. Susana Martinez seemed to make herself at home during a recent public appearance on the Northern New Mexico town’s plaza. It wasn’t a campaign stop — officially, anyway. Martinez was in town to announce $590,000 in co-operative marketing grants to communities and nonprofits involved in the state Tourism Department’s “New Mexico True” promotion. On hand for the event was the Las Vegas mayor, Alfonso Ortiz, and a small crowd of people, many of whom appeared to be city employees. Ortiz, a Democrat who has appeared in Martinez campaign ads praising the governor, repeatedly has said he hasn’t actually endorsed Martinez. But, when introducing the governor that day, he said he hopes she continues serving in her

Like a Kennedy or a Roosevelt, Gary King might have been expected to enter politics. His late father, Bruce King served 12 years as governor of New Mexico, longer than anyone. Before winning his first term as governor in 1970, Bruce King was speaker of the state House of Representatives. So when a young Gary King tagged along to watch his father work, he often went to the state Capitol. Gary King, now 60 and the Democratic nominee for governor, regularly mentions his dad in speeches. Yet King, who has a doctorate in organic chemistry from the University of Colorado, says his first ambition was to be a scientist, not to follow his father into politics. “This was probably influenced by watching Doctor George Fischbeck on educational TV,” King said.

Greg Pluemer, co-owner of Albuquerque-based Accurate Machine & Tool Co., credits the governor’s economic development incentives for his decision to expand in New Mexico rather than building a plant in Texas. CLYDE MUELLER/THE NEW MEXICAN

EDITOR’S NOTE

BY BRUCE KRASNOW THE NEW MEXICAN

In previewing the governor’s race this election, The New Mexican is doing something a little different. Instead of the usual political profiles, we are publishing brief biographical sketches of each of the two candidates, followed by a series of stories over the next week examining key issues that will confront not only the state’s chief executive but others entrusted with helping to guide state and national policy over the next four years. Today, we focus on the state’s struggling economy and how the two candidates say they would improve it. Monday, we look at education, followed by the environment, transparency, social issues, and health and welfare.

T

he numbers are hard to brag about. Since Gov. Susana Martinez assumed office Jan. 1, 2011 — after the recession was officially over — the state has added just 17,400 jobs, one of the slowest growth rates in the country. The high-paying manufacturing sector has shrunk 10 percent, and the state has lost 1,400 construction jobs. As Martinez seeks a second term Nov. 4, Democrats see the economy as her biggest vulnerability. They seized on the recent loss of a new Tesla plant as evidence of the governor’s failure to bring jobs to the state. But even with a bevy of woeful indicators, Martinez continues to lead in both the polls and in fundraising over Gary King, the attorney general. Her supporters say that while the economy

Voters: Early voting numbers down slightly Continued from Page A-1 bank to call voters. The Democrat received last-minute assistance from former President Bill Clinton, who recorded a message that King’s campaign used in automated phone calls to voters. Clinton met King’s father, the late Bruce King, in the late 1970s, when the elder King was New Mexico governor and Clinton was a state official in Arkansas. All three of New Mexico’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are on the ballot. In Santa Fe and the rest of Northern New Mexico, voters will chose between incumbent Democrat Ben Ray Luján or Republican Jefferson Byrd. In the Albuquerque-based 1st Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham is running against Republican Mike Frese. And in the Southern New Mexico District 2, incumbent Republican Steve Pearce faces Democratic challenger Rocky Lara. All statewide elected offices are contested this year. The two most hotly contested are the secretary of state’s race, in which incumbent Republican Dianna Duran is running against Democratic opponent Maggie Toulouse Oliver, and the state land commissioner contest, which pits incumbent

Democrat Ray Powell, Jr. against the GOP’s Aubrey Dunn Jr. Voters also will elect a state attorney general, a race in which Democrat Hector Balderas is running against Republican Susan Riedel; state auditor, where Democrat Tim Keller is running against Republican Robert Aragon; and state treasurer, in which Democrat Tim Eichenberg faces Republican Rick Lopez. Also up for election is the entire House of Representatives. Several constitutional amendments and bond issues also are on the ballot. According to unofficial early and absentee voting results on the Secretary of State’s website, 213,931 people voted at early voting stations in New Mexico this year. That’s down slightly from the 215,113 early in-person votes cast statewide in 2010, when the last gubernatorial race took place. But there was a big drop in absentee ballots this year compared with four years ago. In 2010, 88,848 people cast absentee ballots in New Mexico. As of Monday morning, 47,349 absentee ballots had been returned to county clerks across the state for this year’s election. There are still 17,066 absentee ballots that were sent to voters but not yet returned. But even if every one of those ballots is returned, there would still be more than 24,000 fewer absentee

ballots than there were in 2010. Those with outstanding absentee ballots can return them to polling places today. In Santa Fe County, 18,637 people voted early. That’s down from 2010, when 21,137 people took advantage of early voting in the county. This could be seen as a bad sign for Democrats because Santa Fe is a heavily Democratic county. As for absentee ballots, 4,784 people have returned absentee ballots so far. As of Monday morning, 1,866 absentee ballots were still out. New Mexico’s largest county, Bernalillo, actually beat its 2010 early voting figure. In that county, which includes Albuquerque, 84,351 people voted early, which is 3,537 more than four years ago. By Monday morning, 19,856 absentee ballots had been returned in Bernalillo County, with 9,206 yet to be returned. In 2010, about a third of the total votes cast in New Mexico were in Bernalillo County. In 2010, almost half the total votes cast in that election came from early and absentee ballots.

the 57 percent of Democrats. At the same time in advance of the Republican wave in 2010, 70 percent were interested. In 2006, before the Democratic wave, two-thirds of Democrats professed interest, well above today’s level. At a Republican rally at an aircraft hangar near the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, the enthusiasm for the former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney seemed as loud or louder than for any of the homegrown candidates and dignitaries, including Gov. Sean Parnell and Dan Sullivan, who hopes to oust Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat, on Tuesday. Pat Fleming, 75, a retired medical radiology technologist, held a Dan Sullivan for Senate sign to her chest, but asked about the outlook for Tuesday, she mostly talked about somebody else. “Whatever it takes to get rid of Harry Reid,” she said, referring to the Senate majority leader from Nevada who is deeply unpopular in Alaska. The appeal of something new is weighing down incumbents from both parties. When Orman arrived with his wife in a suburb of Kansas City on Monday afternoon, one woman pulled into her driveway, hopped out of her car and walked to Orman saying, “Hey, you’re not Pat Roberts.” For all the money and nailbiting races this year, the outcome is not likely to result in a drastic change of policy. Obama will still be in office to defend his health care law and other accomplishments against Repub-

lican efforts to reverse them. And Republican leaders in Congress will have to wrestle with political crosscurrents that could affect their ability to confront the president or to work with him. At least three Republicans — Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida — are considering runs for their party’s 2016 presidential nomination. They will be tempted to move to the right to appeal to Republican presidential base voters. Cruz, in an interview with The Washington Post, said this weekend that a Republican-led Senate should hold Obama accountable for his policies, and argued that his colleagues should aggressively pursue a repeal of the president’s signature health care law. Politically, Democrats are banking on that sort of agenda for their own comeback. “If Republicans take the Senate and expand their margins in the House, no one in their right mind would believe that Ted Cruz and the Tea Party House Republicans will say, ‘Now is the time for us to compromise,’ ” said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “They’re going to double down.” Democrats will face their own soul-searching after controlling a Senate that for two years has defined dysfunction. “The moderate and middle of the Democratic Party has really been challenged” by this campaign, said Sen. Joe Manchin III, a conservative Democrat from West Virginia.

ProgressNow New Mexico had to backtrack recently on a story it published that falsely claimed Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration was discriminating against tribal members at Motor Vehicle Division offices.

Lies: Belief in stories can be hard to dispel Continued from Page A-1 Even so, he said, certain people have accepted ProgressNow’s false story as fact, including a woman who publicly questioned him about it during a Republican rally last week. Rodgers, of Los Alamos, is running against Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard, D-Los Alamos, in one of the closely contested races that will determine which party controls the state House of Representatives. Pat Davis, executive director of ProgressNow New Mexico, said Monday he doesn’t know whether Rodgers has ever been arrested. But his group’s Internet story contained accusatory information about a Geoff Rodgers taken from a search engine that listed a possible criminal charge in Florida from either 1993 or 1995. Then, targeting the candidate from Los Alamos, Davis’ organization wrote: “What’s this new charged [sic] Geoff didn’t disclose?” Rodgers said he has a clean record and therefore had nothing to reveal. In an interview, Davis said he had hoped to verify by election day whether Rodgers was arrested or charged with a crime by obtaining archived records from Florida. So far, Davis said, his group has not received a response to its request for public records. Of the story he posted about Rodgers, Davis said: “It’s not our best work.” Nonetheless, Davis defended running an unverified story, saying his intent was prompt voters to ask Rodgers questions about his past. Another advocacy group circulated a false advertisement about Garcia Richard in hopes of tearing her down to help Rodgers. Republican-leaning Advance New Mexico Now sent out the inaccurate directmail ad. The group claimed that Garcia Richard had voted for a bill to expunge certain criminal records, a lie. Garcia Richard voted against the bill, a fact easily verified by reviewing public records of the state House of Representatives. But Advance New Mexico Now falsely advertised that Garcia Richard had “voted to hide arrest records from employers like daycare centers and schools.” Atkeson said those who wrote lies in ads or statements ought to motivate the state Legislature to establish “an ethics committee with teeth so candidates or groups can’t blatantly lie.” While defamation laws already exist, Atkeson said more needs to be done to stop untrue attacks in the next election. “What we’ve seen is a public crime, not just a private crime,” she said. ProgressNow New Mexico, the group helping Democratic

candidates, had to backtrack recently on another of its stories. It falsely claimed that the administration of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez was discriminating against tribal members at Motor Vehicle Division offices, particularly one in Farmington near the Navajo Nation. “MVD says Navajo-only speakers are ‘illiterates,’ must learn English to obtain state ID cards or licenses,” Davis’ group said in its story, which was false. He obtained an incomplete email from a Motor Vehicle Division bureau chief that used the word “illiteracy.” Without seeing the full email, Davis’ group falsely wrote that Martinez’s administration had called Navajos “illiterates” and refused to help them with translations for driver tests. After The Santa Fe New Mexican reported on Davis’ group incorrectly describing the email, ProgressNow New Mexico revised its Internet story. It offered a new claim in its follow-up: “New Mexico MVD clarifies policies on non-English speakers.” ProgressNow has stuck to another story, one alleging that Republican state Rep. Nate Gentry of Albuquerque used a fake name when he checked into a hotel for a government conference in Denver. By innuendo, ProgressNow said Gentry was involved romantically with Rep. Monica Youngblood, R-Albuquerque. Gentry, who hopes to be speaker of the House, said he attended the conference using his own name. He called the ProgressNow story false. State Rep. Bob Wooley, R-Roswell, had no opposition in this year’s election, a circumstance that he saw as a good break. “I am so thankful,” Wooley said. “Most of the campaigns were pretty dirty.” In particular, Wooley criticized Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Udall for running negative ads against his challenger, Republican Allen Weh. “I hate that that one got really bad,” said Wooley, who blamed Udall for setting the tone by attacking Weh. The same criticism has been leveled against Weh, a Vietnam veteran and retired colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve. In one direct-mail ad, Weh said Udall had no allegiance to the United States because he protested against the Vietnam War some 45 years ago while Weh was fighting in it. Larry Ogan, a Vietnam veteran and now an artist in Santa Fe, was so offended by the ad that he publicly criticized Weh for robbing the Senate campaign of decency.

cal, financial and legal infighting that threatened to derail the project. The bickering slowly died down as two other towers started going up on the southeast end of the site: the now completed 4 World Trade Center whose anchor tenant is the Port Authority, which started moving in last week, and 3 World Trade Center, which is slowly rising. The area has prospered in recent years. About 60,000 more residents now live in the area — three times more than before 9/11 — keeping streets, restaurants and shops alive even after Wall Street and other offices close for the day. Still, it’s a bittersweet victory, one achieved while haunted by the past. “The city and the world were watching us, and we had to do it right, to do it better than before,” Gottesdiener said. “And we did it, we finally did it.”

Allies: Would address hot spots Continued from Page A-1 of a joint force illustrates a desire to go beyond the international coalition that the United States has put together to wage an air campaign against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have participated in those strikes in Syria. The officials said the alliance under consideration was not intended to intervene in Iraq or Syria but to act separately to address other extremist hot spots. Three Egyptian military officials discussed details of the talks and a fourth confirmed their comments. A Gulf official, who is aware of the discussions, also told The Associated Press that the governments were coordinating on how to deal with Libya, and the talks were “ongoing on wider cooperation on how to deal with extremists in the region.” He and the Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks remain secret. Talks on an alliance against extremists are well advanced, the Egyptian officials said. But the further idea of forming a joint force is more distant, and there are differences among the countries over the size of any force, funding and headquarters, and over whether to seek Arab League or U.N. political cover for operations, one of the Egyptian officials said. Past attempts at a pan-Arab military force have fallen apart. Still, even if no joint force is agreed on, the alliance would coordinate military action, aiming at quick, pinpoint operations against militants rather than longer missions, the officials said. The countries have already shown an unprecedented willingness to intervene together. Egypt and the UAE cooperated in carrying out airstrikes against Islamic militants in Libya during the summer, according to U.S. and Egyptian officials, and last month Egypt carried out strikes of its own. Egypt’s government has denied both operations. Egypt’s president, former military chief Abdel-Fattah elSissi, has warned repeatedly that Islamic extremists must be dealt with in multiple places, not just in Iraq and Syria. In a September interview with the AP, he said “a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy in the region” is needed. In Washington, asked if the U.S. was aware of the discussions, Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said, “We’re not privy to that. I wouldn’t speak to it.” He would not elaborate. The spokesman for Egypt’s presidency, Alaa Youssef, denied that creating a joint rapid deployment force, complete with a headquarters, was part of the “routine” discussions between Egypt and its Arab allies on a strategy to combat extremism. The Egyptian military officials said top generals from the countries — including at times, their chiefs of staff — have held multiple rounds of talks. Two of the Egyptian military officials said they had participated in the discussions, while the other two said they had been briefed on them. Under consideration, they said, is the establishment of a core force made up of elite troops with aircraft and access to a pool of intelligence gathered by members of the alliance. To prepare for such a force, bilateral and multilateral war games have been held over the past year among the countries to promote harmony among their troops and weapons systems, the

Egyptian officials said. Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in particular, have elite counter-terrorism units, and the Gulf countries have sophisticated air forces, largely purchased from the United States. The officials said Jordan and Algeria had also been approached to join. “It will only be announced when it is ready to go and we have an agreement on everything,” said the most senior of the Egyptian officials. The countries involved intend to get a “nod” of approval from the United States, the officials said. However, the idea of a joint force reflects skepticism among the countries that Washington is prepared to pursue militants beyond the anti-Islamic State group operation, they said. In Libya, Islamic militants have controlled the capital, Tripoli, and the second-largest city, Benghazi, for the past two months. Islamist politicians in Tripoli have set up their own government and revived the previous parliament, where they held a majority. The internationally recognized and most recently elected parliament and government have been relegated to the small city of Tobrouk near the Egyptian bor-

der, while its allied militias and army forces under Gen. Khalifa Hifter battle the militants. El-Sissi and Saudi Arabia have backed the Tobrouk government. In Yemen, al-Qaida has one of its most active branches, fighting the government for years. Also, Shiite rebels known as Houthis overran the capital, Sanaa, in September, threatening the rule of Gulf-backed President Abed Rabo Mansour Hadi. Saudi Arabia has intervened to fight the Houthis previously, in 2010, believing that the movement is a proxy for Iran. The alliance would also be on hand to protect the Gulf from any incursions by the Islamic State group, the officials said. Its existence would also be a symbolic show of unity against Iranian influence. Egypt and Saudi Arabia in particular have a close bond under el-Sissi. As army commander, el-Sissi overthrew Egypt’s Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, who was democratically elected after the upheaval of the Arab Spring uprisings. El-Sissi has since waged a ferocious crackdown on Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, which Saudi Arabia and the UAE also see as their enemy.

Gonzales said the city is looking for every way possible to shift away from dependence on fossil fuels like gas and oil.

LAS VEGAS, N.M. — The embattled president of New Mexico Highlands University has announced his retirement after eight years as head of the school. Jim Fries told the Las Vegas Optic that he contemplated retirement for a year. Fries said he will be 72 next summer and he wants to invest more time in activities he enjoys. His announcement comes less than three weeks after faculty and staff publicly criticized him and his administration at a regents meeting. Faculty accused Fries of not communicating with them and not being transparent about budget decisions, Jim among other Fries things. “Instead of an atmosphere of leadership, we have an atmosphere of topdown direction with [an] expectation that faculty should just go along with the direction taken by the central administration,” faculty said in a letter to regents and the administration. Asked whether that criticism was a factor in his decision to step down prior to his contract expiring, Fries said it wasn’t. “Most people will assume I’m resigning because of the most recent complaints, and I’m pretty sure nothing I say is going to disabuse some people of that assumption, and that’s too bad,” Fries said. “But it really didn’t. This decision has been building for more than a year. … It’s just time for me to spend more time doing things that I have often foregone.” Fries and the regents have yet to decide his last day. His contract was scheduled to expire in June 2016. Regent Frank Marchi said he wasn’t surprised by Fries’ announcement. He said that when the board extended the president’s contract, Fries told them he might not want to stay until June 2016. “He’s done such a good job,” Marchi said. “I’d like to see him stay a little longer certainly, but I respect his decision.”

Super PAC targets Udall as final ad barrages air 56 percent of governor race ads are negative, according to experts By Sandra Fish New Mexico In Depth

Another super PAC took aim at Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Udall on the final weekend before Tuesday’s general election as New Mexico’s political advertising neared $12.2 million in the final full week of the election season. Meanwhile, an analysis of gubernatorial elections across the nation ranks New Mexico’s contest for governor as among the most negative. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez has dominated political TV ad buys, running seven times the number of Democratic challenger, Attorney General Gary King. According to the Wesleyan Media Project, only 20 percent of the ads in New Mexico’s governor’s race are positive, while 56 percent are negative. Another 24 percent contrast the two candidates. Only Connecticut and Illinois had a higher percentage of negative ads than New Mexico, the center reported. New Mexico In Depth’s analysis of political TV advertising covers contracts filed by traditional TV stations with the Federal Communications Commission through Oct. 31. The analysis doesn’t include cable or satellite networks, which aren’t required to file with the FCC. And with hours left before Election Day, campaigns and political action committees had contracted more than 155 hours of air time in New Mexico’s 2014 election season by the last day of October, the date for which the newest information is available. West Main Street Values signed contracts for $51,300 last week, though a filing with the Federal Elections Commission indicates the group is spending $137,500 to produce and air anti-Udall ads. Those ad contracts may not have been filed by stations as of Friday or they might be airing on cable or satellite programs. The ads target Udall for voting in line with President Barack Obama’s agenda. West Main Street Values is a super PAC organized to support GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina in his competitive primary earlier this year. The top donor to the PAC is former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, typically known for supporting liberal causes such as gun control. He gave $250,000 to the PAC earlier this year, nearly one-third of its donations. Some of that money might be paying for ads against Udall, who will face Republican Allen Weh on

Force faces scrutiny for keeping leaders involved in troubled units

In a statement over the weekend, the Secretary of State’s spokesman said the victim was allowed to vote with a provisional ballot. “Elections officials will have to determine whether this voter’s provisional ballot can be counted, given that two ballots will have been cast under his name,” the statement said.

ALBUQUERQUE — Albuquerque police have entered into a reform agreement with the U.S. Justice Department, but the force still faces scrutiny for keeping some of its leaders. The Police Department is reassigning to new positions command staff who oversaw troubled units, a move that is drawing criticism from some activists and at least one elected leader. The U.S. Justice Department and New Mexico’s largest city announced an agreement last week to overhaul Albuquerque’s police department amid accusations of excessive force. The agreement calls for new training and protocols for investigating officer shootings. It also calls for the agency to dismantle some units, including the troubled Repeat Offender Project unit. Federal officials said the unit had morphed into its own tactical operation and had little supervision.

Staff: Body found in gorge was that of Santa Fe man Berry Case is at least the confident 4th suicide this year shuffle will work By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Continued from Page A-6 Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham said that, despite the agreement, she’s still troubled by a culture among Albuquerque police that led to civil rights violations during excessive force cases. “Worse, it appears some of the same people who contributed to that culture will simply be moved into new positions without being held accountable,” Grisham said in a statement. Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry, however, said he was confident the reshuffling of command staff would help bring needed change. “I do expect this to work,” Berry said. “We’ve got Chief [Gorden] Eden who came in from the outside. We’ve got Deputy Chief [Robert] Huntsman who’s got a lot of internal knowledge of the department.” Berry said both men have earned high points from federal officials for pushing reforms. Jewel Hall, a retired teacher and president of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center Board, said she remained skeptical that reforms will be adopted if some of the same police leadership remained. But she said she’s willing to participate in community meetings on the reforms. “We need change in this department, so we need to keep up the pressure,” Hall said.

Legislature attendant by day (during lawmaking sessions), full-time bartender by night, Tommy Sanchez is being mourned by Capitol colleagues and barkeepers alike after police said the Santa Fe man’s body was found Sunday morning at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. The 46-year-old man, father of an 8-year-old son, is at least the fourth case this year in which police say a person has committed suicide by jumping off the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, the seventh highest span in the nation, at 660 feet high. “It is still under investigation, but at this time it appears that Mr. Sanchez took his own life,” said Chad Pierce, a state police spokesman.

The group had $281,000 in cash at the end of September, and the anti-Udall ads are the only independent expenditure reported to the Federal Elections commission by West Main Street Values since then. Another super PAC, Conservative War Chest, added $30,000 in antiUdall ads last week. Udall, however, is continuing to push his advantage in TV ad purchases over Weh, adding nearly $208,000 worth of ads last week, bringing his total ad spending to nearly $2 million. Weh has spent just more than $1 million on TV ads.

The other new entrant to the TV market last week was Robert Aragon, the Republican candidate for auditor, with two small ad buys totaling nearly $7,000. His Democratic opponent, Tim Keller, went on the air in mid-October and is spending nearly $200,000. Martinez, meanwhile, continued her dominance in TV ad purchases, having spent more than $3.1 million on TV ads, airing nearly 8,000 ads since going on air in April.

All of them have failed, but this case could spur a new round of proposals.

City Councilor Peter Ives, who co-chairs the climate task force with former Mayor David Coss, said Monday he will propose a resolution for the city to study options for creating its own power company. If the council approves the resolution, staff would be directed to study all the options for how Santa Fe could run its own electric utility, similar to the way the city currently manages its own water utility. Gonzales also will ask the council to consider hiring a

contractor to develop a way that Santa Fe can promote community solar projects. Community solar allows people who rent or otherwise can’t put solar panels on their roofs to purchase space on a solar photovoltaic system that is tied to the electric grid but produces most of the power for their home or business. Alejandro and Gonzales said the city has discussed community solar with PNM for two years, but wants to move forward with projects regardless of the power company’s participation. The two believe

to call crisis counselors with the state’s suicide prevention hotline. Melissa Dosher, a spokeswoman for the department, said the phone system installation began in Oct. 20 and should be completed by Christmas Day, weather permitting. The governor’s call came after Cooper Beacom, 23, of Santa Fe killed himself after jumping off the bridge in April. That episode also prompted advocates to push state officials to build suicide barriers that were first proposed in 2009. The suicide barrier option lost steam after state officials said they don’t have enough funding to build the barriers. Even though the news has caused sadness at the Capitol, it’s still too early to see if any lawmakers will introduce legislation aimed at curbing suicides at the bridge, said Erika Martinez, a spokeswoman for the Legislature.

Prosecutors: No new trial needed for former sheriff ALBUQUERQUE — The U.S. Attorney’s Office has rebutted a defense attorney’s claim that convicted former Rio Arriba County Sheriff Thomas Rodella needs a new trial. Prosecutors last week filed responses to Rodella’s attorney’s motion for a new trial over allegations that a key witness committed perjury. Rodella was found guilty on Sept. 26 of brandishing a firearm and deprivation of rights following a four-day trial. But his attorney said motorist Michael Tafoya lied about his employment at a care center. The motion alleges that Tafoya was fired from his job over abuse of an elderly client.

certificate or other proof of identity that would enable them to obtain a government-issued photo ID, the opponents have said. Rep. Dianne Hamilton, R-Silver City, has long pushed for voter identification bills, saying fraud at the polls is a problem. Most Democrats in the Legislature have disagreed, saying in-person voter fraud is rare. Further, they said, a photo identification law would not help police mail-in ballots, which more typically are the basis of voter fraud cases.

Daniel Ortega, who has known Sanchez for the past 20 years, said Sanchez was a man “full of energy” who used it to spend time with his son and play softball. Ortega played in the Santa Fe Softball Association with and against Sanchez for the past few years, Ortega said. Sanchez also helped coach football to his 8-year-old son, who lives in Rio Rancho. Lee Merkel, the Santacafé bar manager, said Sanchez worked at the upscale restaurant for two years. Sanchez brought a lot of bartending experience before joining the crew, he said. The restaurant’s menu has a drink named after him, Tommy’s Lemon Drop, his signature drink. “We all loved him,” Merkel said. “We’re all still kind of in a little bit of a shock.” In August, Gov.

polite and a joy to work with. Even when times were stressful in the Senate, he always made himself available and offered his assistance with a smile,” said Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez. “Our hearts are broken and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family as they go through this difficult time. We hope that his loved ones know that they have a lot of support here at the Legislature and that he will be missed. This upcoming session will surely not be the same without him.” Sanchez, a 1986 graduate of St. Michael’s High School, worked as a full-time bartender across town, and his latest mixologist job was at the Santacafé, where Sen. Peter Wirth regularly ate with his wife. Sanchez has made the senator a few drinks in the past, Wirth said. “My wife and I would see him, and he looked like a cheerful and happy person,” Wirth said. “This is just tragic.”

Over the years, the bridge has been a place for locals and people across the nation to commit suicide since it was built across a dramatic river gorge in 1965. State officials have offered different ideas on ways to prevent suicides at the bridge, but no action has been taken yet, and it’s unclear if the latest episode will prompt any actions. In the last 20 years, more than 115 people have jumped off the bridge, The Taos News reported in July. Sanchez had worked as an attendant to the Senate Sergeant at Arms Office since 2006 during legislative sessions, according to a state Senate Democrats Caucus news release. “He was a valuable asset to the Senate, and especially to the Office of the President Pro Tempore, to which he was assigned,” Senate Chief Clerk Lenore Naranjo said. “We will miss him.” “Tommy was professional,

A stranger could walk into the barbershop and leave as a friend, and a friend that became a part of the Guadalupe Barber & Beauty family; a part of the legacy. Art will forever hold his legacy in our hearts, in Santa Fe, and throughout New Mexico. He is preceded in death by his wife Olivia M.

Martin Heinrich (“A grab for federal public lands,” Commentary, Oct. 28) is not just wrong, he’s 100 percent wrong, in asserting that supporters of a transfer of some federal lands to the states are engaged in a “land grab.” In fact, it is the federal government that has “grabbed” New Mexicans’ lands. In the past two years, Heinrich endorsed the federal government’s placing of more than 783,000 acres of New Mexico land, much of it private or “multiple-use,” in two highly restrictive “monument” designation (the Rio Grande del Norte and Organ Mountain monuments). Ironically, while any effort to return some federal lands to New Mexico control would require the support and buy-in of large numbers of state and local officials, these two wilderness areas were declared by the Obama Administration without so much as a single vote in Congress. It is no surprise that Heinrich would support such a real land-grab, as he is known for reflexively supporting the radical environmental lobbying groups in Washington. He has a 93 percent lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters and boasted a 100 percent score in 2013. Given the environmental group’s penchant for shoving local interests and traditional users aside in order to increase the size of the federal estate (consider it one-stop shopping for the environmental

lobby), Heinrich also vastly prefers federal control of lands to private or state control. First, it is important to destroy a few myths. The lands in question are not national parks or native lands. Rather, our efforts are focused on federal lands managed by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Under plans supported by the author’s organizations, no lands would be privatized. Rather, the aforementioned lands currently managed by Washington would devolve to state control. Economically speaking, the impact on New Mexico of state vs. federal control over these lands would be stunning: up to 68,000 new jobs and $1 billion in new tax revenues. These astounding results are not the result of “privatizing” the lands, rather they are from simply managing Forest Service and BLM lands as other state lands are currently managed. These jobs and economic activity would be a tremendous boon for New Mexico, which Heinrich represents, and remains one of the poorest states in the nation with little economic growth in the recent economic recovery. Lest one be led to believe that such policies are only advocated by radical antigovernment types and Republicans, New Mexico’s current land commissioner, Ray Powell, a Democrat with strong ties to the environmental community, has advocated for having the feds return 1 million acres of BLM land in the state to bring in an esti-

mated $50 million to fund new early childhood programs. Democrats, too, understand that bureaucrats in Washington are too isolated and ignorant (no matter how well-intentioned) to understand the unique needs of Western states. Also, our efforts to restore state control over certain federally managed lands are by no means based entirely on economics. Climate change is often cited in the media as the cause of recent forest fires that have raged in New Mexico and throughout the West. The reality is that poor federal management (or the lack thereof) is a major contributor to rampant fires. Of course, users of these lands who have traditionally benefitted from their “multiple-use” management are losing out as more and more of these lands are locked up as “wilderness,” vast tracts of which are off limits to motor vehicles and nonrecreational forms of human use. The reality is that Heinrich and his radical friends in Washington are the ones grabbing lands in New Mexico and elsewhere. Advocates of restoring state control over these lands are attempting to restore some balance and sound management policies when it comes to large tracts of Western land. Carl Graham of Salt Lake City is director of the Coalition for Self-Government in the West, a project of the Utah-based Sutherland Institute.

Councilors halt plan to put armed officers in schools, Oct. 30 This is great news. Another Joel Boyd attempt to pull one over on taxpayers. At least someone on the City Council was paying attention and knows the difference between $70,000 and $530,000. There is no evidence that cops in schools make schools safer. There is considerable evidence that cops in schools increase petty arrests of young men of color, sending them on their way down the school-to-prison pipeline.” C.M. It looks as if the system worked. The issue will now get a proper vetting. As for the budgetary issues, a proper vetting of the police and school district budgets will most likely find a lot of waste.” J.G. How the heck does it cost the city $300,000 a year for two officers? Will they be dressed in Armani suits? Councilor Signe Lindell is [wrong] if she thinks a cop with a gun promotes violence. If that were the case, then we would be having shootouts with every traffic stop. How can Santa Fe keep electing idiots to represent them?” O.M.

New details in fatal shooting as deputy pleads not guilty, Oct. 30 Yeah, he pleaded not guilty. Let me guess, it was actually a black man who shot him, right? Just check the hotel guest registry, and arrest the first black man you come across. Standard operating procedure in cases like this.” R.D. He could have been seen doing the shooting by 10 video cameras and 1,000 witnesses, but he still has his constitutional right to due process. Due process starts with a plea of not guilty.” S.S. I suppose it’s standard procedure to blood-test (for drugs and alcohol) any suspect in a violent attack like this. Let’s hope they did that to [Deputy Tai] Chan, who I suspect may have been on a substance (cocaine?) in addition to alcohol. The responses from multiple persons regarding his behavior suggest substance abuse beyond bar drinks.” P.S.

NMSA performance in Artesia was impressive

O

n Oct. 16, after a day attending business meetings in Artesia, I concluded my visit by taking in an evening performance at Artesia’s Ocotillo Performing Arts Center. The program I attended was put on by the New Mexico School for the Arts in Santa Fe. Included in the program were student performances of excerpts from many of Shakespeare’s greatest works including Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, along with jaw-dropping orations from Richard III and Julius Caesar. What made this even more amazing is the fact these young people, hailing from all over the state of New Mexico, are in the ninth to 12th grades. These are not easy works for professional actors to learn or to perform, let alone high school students. The program also included student performances of classical music works by Samuel Barber, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Edward Elgar and Felix Mendelssohn, among others. What a surprise this program was. What a jewel the Ocotillo is. What talent NMSA can boast! Mark Amo

Ignorance of facts A partial quote from James Morton’s book, The Meaning of the 21st Century: “There are huge vested interests with massive financial reasons for not changing course. … There is widespread ignorance. … The desire for short-term benefits overwhelms the desire to solve long-term problems.” Two excellent examples of this in the current election include how the Republicans are handling the facts of global warming and success of the Affordable Care Act. Global warming and its causes have been verified by the vast majority of the world’s scientists. The Republican strategy

is to keep denying it and creating doubt. The same strategy used by the tobacco industry to deny effects of nicotine. The Affordable Care Act has proven to be a success as verified by health professionals and the Congressional Budget Office. The reason for the uncertainty of addressing these two long-term problems is ignorance of the facts. Leon Logan

Changing TV models HBO and CBS recently announced plans to cut out the cable middleman and sell directly to the public. These deals pit them against traditional cable operators, who have bet big that consumers prefer a larger, “aggregated” bundle of programming and other services. But while this content middleman (“aggregator”) role is under siege, the very same companies are being accused of being monopolistic “gatekeepers” by industry critics. The Department of Justice and FCC are reviewing the Comcast/Time Warner Cable deal and asking if there real competition for consumers’ eyeballs. Well, right on cue, HBO turns on a dime and decides to compete with the “aggregators” after decades of symbiosis, proving that competitive programming has many routes from soundstage to screen. The most active competition in the digital space today is not for market share but for business models. Do consumers want large packages of services or will the Netflix/HBO standalone approach win out? Do they value the active management of networks, like they get from mobile, or a freefor-all, as they do in landline? Do they want to pay by the byte or buy all-you-can-eat? Washington should step back and let competition tell us which. Dr. Everett M. Ehrlich

Not speaking Spanish: Badge of honor? Dear Mexican: I’m a half-Mexican more American than Mexican. I don’t speak Español nor do I care to, not because I’m ashamed, but I just don’t feel the need. If I lived in another county I would need to, but I live in whitewashed Southern California, and 80 percent of my interactions are English transactions. But in the small percentage of meetings with fellow Mexis, Gusttavo I confess that I Arellano don’t know Span¡Ask a Mexican! ish, I get the frustrated angry jeers and, in one occasion, ridiculed. Here’s the thing: Is it really a big deal that I don’t know Spanish? No Speaky Spanisho Dear Pocho: While hard stats on how many half-Mexis speak Spanish are duro to come by, the U.S. census’ 2011 American Community Survey offers a bit of a clue. It shows that about 20 percent of people of the 2.8 million people who speak Spanish at home but don’t consider themselves Latinos can trace their heritage to a Spanish-speaking country. And given that 26 percent of non-Latinos who do habla live in a household that has one Latino member, and 30 percent of such Spanish speakers are married to a Latina/o, we can surmise (with a lot of mezcal and birria to soak up that statistical cruda) that halfers retain their Spanish about as well as the Mexican government retains narcos. That said, who cares? If people make fun of you for speaking bad Spanish, let them; then, congratulate them for being as bigoted as you. Ask the Mexican at themexican@ askamexican.net.

COMMENTARY: ALBERT R. HUNT

Midterms — election without vision WASHINGTON — he U.S. midterm elections have had almost everything, except a vision for governing. Democrats leveled charges that hard-hearted Republicans would slice Granny’s Social Security and throw her off the Medicare rolls while denying younger women contraception. Republican critics refer to Colorado Democratic Sen. Mark Udall as Mark “Uterus” for his emphasis on women’s issues. A national campaign that will cost about $4 billion, thanks to outside groups unleashed by a Supreme Court decision, has featured little discussion of issues that will confront the next, likely Republican, Congress. The absent agenda is tax reform, reshaping the Affordable Care Act — which won’t be repealed — or a long-term deficit measure dealing with entitlements and taxes or much-needed major infrastructure projects or whether and how to wage war against Islamic State. An election in which neither party advances ideas usually augurs poorly for getting much done. The probability is that Republicans will win a slight majority in the Senate and add about 10 seats to their House majority. That means constant clashes between a Republican-run Congress and a lame-duck Democratic president. (The outlook isn’t much different, except for appointments, if Democrats retain a slim Senate majority still subject to the whim of the minority.) The president complains that congressional Republicans’ only interest is opposing him; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said as much. Obama is angry about Congress and seems disengaged. Republicans dismiss

OUR VIEW

Finally, the voters speak

V

arguments they are too negative; they seem to be in the driver’s seat now. Yet there are incentives for each side to temper these attitudes. Republicans don’t relish the prospect of losing the White House again in 2016; that would give Democrats control in 20 of the last 28 years. Preventing that outcome is complicated by the Republicans’ image with voters. “Just say no” works in midterm elections for the opposition party; it usually doesn’t in presidential contests. Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader, observed last week that if Republicans became the majority party in Congress, they would have to govern, and he offered some specific suggestions. Some of these were partisan pablum. He also tossed out notions such as the possibility of a major infrastructure bill paid for by drilling fees on public lands. That payfor won’t fly but alternatives might.

House Speaker John Boehner hopes he can pick up more than 10 seats, in part so he won’t have to cater as much to the tea party element in his caucus. He’ll have to roll the right wing on some issues and cut a few deals with Democrats. To achieve anything substantive in the Senate will require bipartisan support, which would mean McConnell and his Democratic counterpart, Harry Reid, would have to start talking to each other. As for the president, his final two years will be part of any legacy. His leverage is limited and foreign policy crises will be central to that assessment. Obama can ill afford to stay in a funk and ignore the domestic front. He should perhaps consider a political trade-off to keep the guts of his Affordable Care Act — while chipping away at some of the little stuff — in return for giving the Republicans more on corporate tax reform,

trade, infrastructure and even an immigration bill that’s a bit to the right of the bipartisan measure passed by the Senate. A substantive down payment on immigration reform would help Obama’s legacy, and Republicans can ill afford another presidential election as the anti-immigration party. “It may be possible to get some things done,” says former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle. “It’s not probable, but possible.” Albert R. Hunt is a Bloomberg View columnist. He was formerly the executive editor of Bloomberg News, directing coverage of the Washington bureau. Hunt hosts the weekly television show Political Capital with Al Hunt on Bloomberg Television. In his four decades at The Wall Street Journal, he was a reporter, bureau chief and executive Washington editor, and wrote the weekly column “Politics & People.”

oting concludes today in the 2014 midterm election. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. across the state of New Mexico — and it’s essential to get out to vote. Otherwise, victorious candidates lack the backing of the people to carry out their initiatives once in office. New Mexicans will be deciding everything from who represents them in Congress, whether Gov. Susana Martinez will win a second term, control of the state House of Representatives, all the way down to county races for probate judge or sheriff. Also on the ballot are decisions on judicial retention, five proposed constitutional amendments and three bond questions. Key to determining winners will be turnout. In 2010, another non-presidential election year, some 608,000 voters cast ballots. Four years later, most election watchers are predicting less of a turnout, anywhere from 2 percent to 5 percent lower. Should turnout decline even further, it will be a good night for the GOP in New Mexico. What is important, though, is not who wins, but that the winners have the backing of voters. The more people vote — and yes, that tends to favor Democrats — the better the chance for the majority to actually rule.

Let’s preserve Greer Garson Theatre

T

he Greer Garson Theatre Center is in danger. Laura Fine Hawkes, the new chairwoman of Performing Arts at Santa Fe University of Arts and Design, intends to gut the Greer Garson, “reconfiguring the 500-seat theater into a 140-seat theater-in-the round on the existing stage” (“Where the Jobs Are,” Pasatiempo, Oct. 17).

Her reason is that they “apparently did lose much of that long-cultivated audience” when the university took over the College of Santa Fe. If the university is having trouble filling the seats, why not make its use more easily accessible to public groups? The Greer Garson is a Santa Fe landmark, elegant and functional and the only theater of its size in town. Since the university is leasing the campus from the city, we should have control over major decisions that lead to irrevocable changes. The Greer deserves preservation, not decimation. Lisa Fisher

South-side help We applaud Ed Moreno for his report (“Creating a community,” Oct. 26) covering the south side but we were disappointed that he did not mention work carried out by the United Church of Santa Fe. The partnerships of faith com-

munities are essential in this community transformation. United, alongside other faith communities, continues to provide volunteers, financial resources and significant staff time to the Quality of Life Initiative. We encourage other faith communities to offer their talents and resources. This is a long-term, complex project that calls for sustained volunteer commitment working together with the community. Our congregation has responded to that call. Rev. Betsy Bueschel

Rescued cat I wanted to publicly thank and honor those at Coates Tree Service for their kindness and compassion; they literally came to the rescue when my missing cat, Chubby, was found in a tree that he had been stuck in for nine days. Because of dogs around the tree and a fence, we needed a bucket lift to rescue the cat, and they showed up within an hour — the owner was the hero who got up in the lift and saved my cat. Then, they would not charge for this beautiful act! I’m so grateful for what the business did. What generosity and good will, and a lovely reminder of what is good in this world. Mary Bonney

Legislature From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 4, 1914: Artesia — Another attempt to develop oil in paying quantities in the Pecos Valley probably will be made at an early date. F.J. Lukins, who has drilled a number of the artesian wells in the valley, is behind the movement, and he proposes to turn over to a local company an 80-acre tract in the heart of the oil belt. This tract is to be cut up into lots 40 x 100 feet each and sold to members of the company at $25 a lot, the money resulting from the land sales to be used in prospecting for oil. If oil is found, Lukins will be given a substantial interest in the company. Nov. 4, 1964: Gallup — Monroe M. Jymm, a Democrat, has been elected to the New Mexico House of Representatives from McKinley County Dist. 1. Political observers say Jymm is the first Navajo to be sent to the legislature. Nov. 4, 1989: Private security guards would be empowered to cite motorists for illegally parking in handicapped and fire zones under a proposed city ordinance backed by police and advocates for the disabled. The city Public Safety Committee is scheduled to consider the proposed ordinance at a meeting Monday. City Council approval is needed before it can become law. The state Legislature this year passed a law permitting such city ordinances. Tickets written by guards would be treated by the Parking Violations Bureau and the courts as if they were issued by police.

‘Sesame Street’ marks 45th birthday “a magic wand for us in terms of engagement,” says Sesame Street senior vice president Scott Chambers. Kids can trace letters or point to colors or shapes, and the app provides positive reinforcement. Sesame Street also has the highest “co-viewing” experience — meaning adults watching with kids — of any preschool show: 49 percent of Sesame Street viewers are over age 18. Newer seasons also feature less of the actual street with human characters, and more puppets in skits with animation or other technical wizardry. Executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente says the puppets “have a madcap energy to them” that helps Sesame Street compete with the many other kids shows that are animated. Sesame Street also is unique because before any scripts are written, child development experts offer input on what today’s kids need to succeed in school. Not all of today’s parents love Sesame Street. Some say it simply doesn’t keep their kids’ attention. Daphne Mallory, a mother of four in Twin Falls, Idaho, grew up watching Sesame Street but says her four children don’t. “It lost its relevance,” she said. But Lori Chajet of Brooklyn, N.Y., says her daughters, now 7 and 10, loved it — including old episodes they got on tape — while she and her husband appreciated the emphasis on multiculturalism and the pop culture references for adults.

NEW YORK — You don’t get to be the longest-running children’s show in U.S. TV history by doing the same thing over and over. So even though parents who grew up watching Sesame Street can still see old favorites like Big Bird, things on the street have changed since the show debuted 45 years ago on Nov. 10, 1969. Cookie Monster now exercises self-control and sometimes eats fruits and vegetables. Millions of kids watch the show on phones and computers instead of TV. And there’s less time spent on the street with human characters. They’re just not energetic enough for today’s viewers. In Britain, a BBC kids’ show, Blue Peter, is even older — on since 1958 — but that Sesame Street still exists in the U.S. at all, given the competition here, says a lot. In 1973, it was one of two shows on U.S. television for preschoolers. Now it’s competing with 84 kids’ shows on TV and countless others online. Yet Sesame Street still holds its own, ranking 20th among kids ages 2 to 5 with 850,000 viewers per TV episode, according to Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind the show. But now half the viewers watch it in digital formats. Options include SesameStreet. org, PBSKids.org, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and some 50 apps. A Sesame Street YouTube channel has a million subscribers and 1.5 billion views. And touchscreens have been

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Rap music figure Marion “Suge” Knight will post bail and return to California to face a robbery charge following treatment at a Las Vegas, Nev., hospital for a blood clot in his chest discovered after he fell in jail, his attorneys said Monday. A judge set bail at $75,000 for the 49-yearold Knight, who attorneys Richard Schonfeld and Julie Raye said also was being treated for a painful bruise on the back of his head and neck after falling back against a metal post while doctors checked him in jail. Raye traced Knight’s medical problems to six bullet wounds she said Knight suffered in an early Aug. 24 shooting at a West Hollywood nightclub. Two other people also were injured in the gunfire at 1OAK on Sunset Boulevard. Raye said Knight had said he felt short of breath Thursday before appearing before a Las Vegas judge who reduced a June 2013 suspended license charge to a parking ticket and fined Knight $190 on what had been a suspended license warrant. Knight has prior felony convictions for armed robbery and assault with a gun. Knight has declared bankruptcy. The Associated Press

NMAA suspends Waldorf coach

Romo 1st-class priority as Cowboys go to London

One-match suspension allegedly for violating game recording rules By James Barron The New Mexican

Just when you didn’t think there was enough intrigue surrounding Tuesday’s District 1A volleyball playoff between Santa Fe Waldorf and Coronado, add this to the mix. The New Mexico Activities Association suspended Waldorf head coach Josie Adams for the match scheduled at Mesa Vista High School because of a violation of the organization’s bylaws. According to sources close to the investigation, the incident involved a player’s parent using a tablet during the Coronado-New Mexico School for the Deaf match on Oct. 30. At issue is a bylaw regarding anybody associated with a school — be it player, coaches, administrators or players’ parents/guardians — videotaping or recording a game or match in which its team is not involved. Adams and Waldorf athletic director Daniel Wendland declined comment, deferring to school administrator Jeffrey Baker. Baker also declined comment at the time, saying he had been out of the office and only learned of the suspension on Monday. Baker added he wanted to talk with NMAA executive director Sally Marquez before opting to discuss the matter. Coronado head coach Bill McLaughlin wrote in an email that he and his assistant coach observed a “third-party” recording the match from the stands, and added that several parents saw it as well. The school reported the incident to the NMAA the following day, McLaughlin wrote. “I am little shocked that it happened and didn’t expect it,” McLaughlin wrote. Dusty Young, associate director of media relations, said Marquez had addressed both schools about the incident but would not elaborate on her decision. The NMAA’s policy has been to acknowledge incidents but leave disclosure about any action taken to the involved schools. Section 7.7.8 of the NMAA bylaws states, “Radio broadcasting, video recording, or telecasting a practice session or scrimmage by anyone not connected with the participating school(s) is prohibited without the consent of the school(s) involved.” According to the NMAA handbook, penalties for violating the bylaw include forfeiture of “all future regular season games and possibly post-season tournament games against the opponent(s) being videotaped. Other sanctions, as determined by the Director, may be imposed.” In January, the Capital boys basketball was embroiled in a videotaping controversy that led to the forfeiture

IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo’s back was the top priority for the Dallas Cowboys on their long plane ride to London. Even higher than the comfort of owner Jerry Jones’ wife. “Gene will sit up in the bulkhead,” Jones joked a day before Monday’s flight. “Romo will lounge on the way over. You don’t think it’d be me, do you?” Assuming Romo’s third back injury in 18 months makes it through the nine-hour flight no worse for the wear, the next ques-

tion will be how much preparation time he can handle. Romo missed practice all last week and watched Sunday while backup Brandon Weeden failed to get Dallas into the end zone until a 28-17 loss to Arizona was out of reach. The Cowboys were scheduled to land in London on Tuesday morning, hoping to get into their routine as much as possible ahead of Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. So far this season, that plan has been meetings and a short walk-

Luck throws for 4 TDs in rout of hapless N.Y. By Bill Pennington The New York Times

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. here were many things the New York Giants did wrong in Monday night’s 40-24 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts. There were dropped passes, wayward throws, a hopelessly anemic running game, three Colts fumbles that were not recovered and a multitude of blown defensive assignments. It was a game so lopsided the Giants were out of

T

it more than four minutes before the fourth quarter began. And yet, there were moments when the Giants appeared to finally be doing something right. And that is precisely when something went appallingly wrong again. Early in the third quarter with the Giants trailing by 13 points, Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck lofted a pass to the end zone for wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. Defensive back Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie closed on the underthrown pass and adroitly out-jumped Hilton for the football. With the ball cradled in both arms, RodgersCromartie, a premier defender, was falling toward the turf with the turnover that might spark a Giants second-half comeback. Instead, Hilton reached over and wrestled the football free, tumbling to the ground with yet

Chicago Cubs introduce Joe Maddon as manager By Jay Cohen The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Joe Maddon’s unusual road to the manager’s office at Wrigley Field included a job interview at an RV park in Pensacola, Fla. The first public stop was a bar across the street from the iconic ballpark, where Maddon offered to buy a beer and a shot for everyone in the room. “The Hazleton way,” he said in tribute to his Pennsylvania hometown. If the beginning of Maddon’s partnership with the Cubs is any indication, this is going to be one interesting ride. Maddon brought his unconventional style to Chicago on Monday when he was introduced as the Cubs’ fifth manager since the start of the

2010 season, replacing Rick Renteria after just one year on the job. Flanked by smiling executives Jed Hoyer and Theo Epstein, he slipped on a pinstriped No. 70 jersey and repeatedly said how he excited he was about his new job. Perhaps more importantly, Joe Maddon at least for a century’s worth of frustrated Cubs fans, he talked about winning — right now. “Listen, for me, I’m going to be talking playoffs next year. OK, I’m going to tell you that right now,” said Maddon, who got a $25 million, fiveyear contract — making him one of the highest

another Colts touchdown. After a practice last week, Giants coach Tom Coughlin assembled the players around him in a circle so he could deliver an impassioned plea to the team to “play above the X’s and O’s.” Coughlin could be heard yelling at the players, trying to inspire them to do more than execute the basics of a play but to go above and beyond the routine to accomplish the spectacular. Spectacular? No, it was the most blatant illustration of a woebegone team that has lost three successive games. By the game’s end, the Giants (3-5) and the Colts (6-3) were two teams heading in opposite directions. Behind the brilliant Luck, Indianapolis continues its march toward the game’s highest echelon

Twins tap hometown Hall of Famer Molitor to manage By Dave Campbell The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The last time the Minnesota Twins searched for a manager, Paul Molitor was in the mix. He withdrew from consideration, with the franchise’s future uncertain during Major League Baseball’s failed attempt to eliminate two clubs. The job didn’t open for another 13 years, but this time Molitor was ready. The challenge he accepted is to help turn around a team that lost 92 or more games in each of the last four seasons. The Twins announced Monday they had agreed to a three-year contract for the Hall of Fame infielder and native of Minnesota, who will be introduced Tuesday as Ron Gardenhire’s replacement during a news conference at Target Field.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Eric J. Hedlund, ehedlund@sfnewmexican.com

“It’s pretty exciting. I’m a huge Molitor fan,” second baseman Brian Dozier said. “He’s a bright individual, with a better IQ in the game of baseball than anyone I’ve ever been around. He’s just an exceptional man.” Paul Molitor This is the first managing job at any level for Molitor, who has the 10th-most hits in major league history. He spent 2014 as a coach on Gardenhire’s staff. Prior to that, he served for 10 seasons as a minor league instructor in the organization, a noted influence on many young players. Three finalists who had multiple interviews with general manager Terry Ryan were Moli-

Romo: Absence keenly felt in loss to Cardinals on Sunday

of teams. The Giants head to Seattle this weekend needing an upset to remain in the playoff hunt. While Hilton’s touchdown gave the Colts a 23-3 lead, the Giants did cut their deficit to 13 points with a five-play, 84-yard drive. Odell Beckham Jr. caught a 59-yard pass to get the Giants deep into Indianapolis territory, and running back Andre Williams caught a sideline pass for 24 yards that advanced the ball to the Colts’ 1-yard line. Williams, who had 12 carries in the game for 22 yards, burst through the middle of the line for a touchdown that seemed to give the Giants hope with the score 23-10. But Luck completed four passes for 80 yards, the last a 40-yard touchdown reception by Reggie Wayne, who ran away from defensive back Jayron Hosley for the easy score. The rout was on, but just to be sure, the Colts’ Jonathan Newsome knocked the football out of quarterback Eli Manning’s hand as he was preparing to throw a pass. The resulting fumble was recovered by Indianapolis at the Giants’ 4-yard line. Two plays later, tight end Dwayne Allen was left uncovered in the end zone. Luck tossed the ball to Allen for the 2-yard touchdown and a 37-10 lead. The offensive woes plaguing the Giants in recent games continued from the start. They came out trying to establish their running

through Tuesday, and regular practices Wednesday through Friday. Romo has skipped Wednesday workouts since the regular season started after surgery for a herniated disk last December. The latest injury is two fractures of small bones in the back, and others with the same injury have missed one game. “Absolutely,” coach Jason Garrett said Monday when asked if he thought Romo could play. “Feel better today and get through the flight, feel good when he gets over there and we’ll take it day by day this week.” The Cowboys looked like they missed Romo against the Cardinals, who stacked the line of scrimmage and ended DeMarco Murray’s record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start the season, holding him to 79 yards rushing on 19 carries. Weeden didn’t make the league’s worst pass defense pay for it, repeatedly misfiring to Dez Bryant and others before throwing his first interception with Dallas in scoring range in the third quarter and his second to end any hopes of a comeback in the fourth. “I think Romo could have probably been expected to get to those second, third and fourth receivers,” Jones said. “I would have liked for him to be able to get some third and fourth options in there because we had them. That would have made a big difference out there, but again, that’s a lot to expect from a guy in his situation.” Weeden is 31, but was making just his 21st NFL start because he spent five years playing minor league baseball. He replaced Kyle Orton as Romo’s backup when Orton thought about retiring, which prompted his release before he signed with Buffalo. Orton is starting for the Bills now. The Cowboys were pleased with Weeden through the preseason, and in relief when he led scoring drives on the only two possessions Romo missed after getting hurt against Washington a week ago. But in his first start, he looked a lot like the quarterback who was run out of Cleveland just two years after the Browns drafted him in the

and well-timed scrambling by Luck and a 13-yard reception by Hilton. Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell was not going down without a fight, and he tried myriad looks to confuse and harass Luck. The Giants blitzed often and the pressure disrupted Luck’s passing lanes. It remained a 3-0 game until early in the second quarter when the Giants’ defense was victimized by three lightning-quick plays executed by the Colts that resulted in a 10-0 Indianapolis lead. On the first play, several Giants bottled up Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw, a former Giant, in the backfield for a 2-yard loss. But linebacker Devon Kennard briefly grazed Bradshaw’s face mask on the tackle, drawing a 15-yard penalty.

game but stumbled badly again. The lack of an effective running game ruined the offense’s rhythm and made Manning’s play-action pass attempts futile. With Rashad Jennings still out with a knee injury, Williams, the rookie backup, once again did not show the patience or the vision necessary to make the most of the blocking up front. Throughout the first quarter, Williams took handoffs from Manning and ran directly into defenders. Several times, there were gaping holes that Williams could have run through — sometimes they were just a few feet to the left or right of where Williams bulled ahead. The Colts opened the scoring with a 48-yard first quarter field goal by Adam Vinatieri, the conclusion of a drive that featured some deft

first round, with a career record of 5-15 and more interceptions than touchdowns. Garrett said he still thinks he has a backup who can win. “I thought Brandon did a really good job when he came into the game the other night against Washington,” Garrett said. “But for the most part we didn’t do what we needed to do in the passing game throughout the game yesterday. We’ve got to build on some of the good things that did happen.” Weeden and Bryant were on the same team at Oklahoma State, but didn’t play together much. Bryant had joined the Cowboys before Weeden became the starter. Weeden sure was looking for Bryant, targeting him 10 times. And yet Bryant’s 56-game streak with at least one catch was in jeopardy before two meaningless grabs in the final 2 minutes, including a 3-yard touchdown.

and the Rockets had assists on 27 of 32 field goals. Tony Wroten led the winless Sixers (0-4) with 20 points and K.J. McDaniels had 14. Ariza picked up in Philadelphia where he left off in March when he scored a careerhigh 40 points and spoiled Allen Iverson’s jersey retirement celebration night. Playing for Washington, Ariza made all six 3-point attempts in the first quarter for 24 points and finished 14 of 23 from the floor overall.

NEW YORK — Brook Lopez scored 18 points in his first regular-season game in about 11 months, Nets 116 and the Brooklyn Nets Thunder 85 routed the injurydepleted Oklahoma City Thunder 116-85 on Monday night in their home opener. Alan Anderson added 18 points and Deron Williams had 17 points and nine assists for the Nets, who got their leading scorer back on a night the Thunder, already without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, lost yet another player to injury. Reggie Jackson scored 23 points in his season debut after missing the first three games with a sprained right ankle, but the Thunder left just as short-handed as they entered when starting guard Andre Roberson sprained his left foot. He played just 11½ minutes of the first half. GRIZZLIES 93, PELICANS 81 In Memphis, Tenn., Marc Gasol scored 16 points, Zach Randolph had 15 and Tayshaun Prince added 14 as the Grizzlies extended their home winning streak to a franchise record 16 straight with a victory over the Pelicans. The Grizzlies, off to a franchise-best 4-0 start, got three double-doubles. Randolph had 11 rebounds to give him a double-double in each of the team’s four games. Gasol (11 rebounds) and Tony Allen (12 points, 11 rebounds) also finished with double-doubles. Tyreke Evans led the Pelicans (1-2) with 21 points. New Orleans shot only 34 percent from the field.

ROCKETS 104, 76ERS 93 In Philadelphia, James Harden had 35 points and nine rebounds and Dwight Howard added 11 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Rockets past the 76ers. Trevor Ariza hit six 3-pointers and scored 24 points to help Houston improve to 4-0. The Rockets made 16 of 34 3-pointers and dominated the Sixers 47-31 on the boards. Harden made his first 17 free throws

KINGS 110, NUGGETS 105 In Denver, Darren Collison scored 21 points, including three free throws in the final 16.2 seconds, and the Kings held off the Nuggets. DeMarcus Cousins added 19 points and Reggie Evans grabbed 14 rebounds as the Kings started the season 3-1 for the first time since 2010-11. Sacramento showed no signs of fatigue after beating the Clippers the day before in Los Angeles. Collison secured the win by hitting two free throws with 8.7 seconds remaining. The Nuggets had seven players in double figures, led by Arron Afflalo and JaVale McGee with 16 points apiece. MAVERICKS 118, CELTICS 113 In Dallas, Chandler Parsons scored 29 points, including a key 3-pointer to help Dallas hang on after going up by 30 before halftime for the second time in two home games, and the Mavericks beat the Celtics. Avery Bradley had a chance to tie with three free throws when he was fouled on a 3-pointer by Monta Ellis with 39 seconds left after Boston trailed by 31 in the second quarter. But he missed the second one. After Ellis put Dallas back up by three at 116-113, Parsons won a jump ball with Jared Sullinger, tipping it to Ellis, who was fouled by Rajon Rondo on a drive and made both free throws.

Cubs: Last playoff appearance in 2008 Continued from Page B-1 paid managers in the game, “because I can’t go to spring training and say another thing. I’m just incapable of doing that. Why would you even report?” The 60-year-old Maddon had a 754-705 record in nine seasons in Tampa Bay, leading the club to four playoff appearances, two AL East titles and a five-game loss to Philadelphia in the 2008 World Series. The two-time AL Manager of the Year also was the bench coach for six seasons under Angels manager Mike Scioscia before he was hired by Tampa Bay in November 2005. The Rays went 77-85 this year, and Maddon opted out of his contract after Andrew Friedman left Tampa Bay’s front office to take over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 14. The Cubs already had a manager in Renteria, but Epstein felt he had to act on Maddon’s free agency. “You wrestle with those things. As a person, I didn’t

want to do it,” said Epstein, who also interviewed Maddon for the manager job with the Red Sox before he hired Terry Francona ahead of the 2004 season. “I don’t want to ever be unfair to someone else. But as an executive and as someone charged with winning a World Series here, I had no choice but to do it. It was clearly the right move for the Cubs.” After Epstein confirmed with Major League Baseball that Maddon had opted out of his contract, Hoyer informed Renteria about what was going on. Then Epstein and Hoyer flew to Florida to meet with Maddon, who was traveling cross country with his wife, Jaye. “We kind of sat behind the Cousin Eddie. That’s our RV, the Cousin Eddie, a 43-foot Winnebago,” Maddon said, “and we sat back there and pretty much just talked philosophy about how this is all going to work. For me, that was the most important thing. That’s

what I needed to know, that we were philosophically aligned.” Chicago finished 73-89 in Renteria’s only season as a major league manager. The move puts the rest of Renteria’s staff in jeopardy, but pitching coach Chris Bosio attended Maddon’s introductory press conference and Epstein made it sound as if he thinks most of the coaches will be retained. Maddon inherits an impressive group of prospects and a bigger payroll after his successful run with the small-market Rays. But he also gets a run of five consecutive losing seasons and a famous title drought that goes back to the Cubs’ win in the 1908 World Series. Chicago hasn’t made it to the playoffs since it won the NL Central in 2008 with Lou Piniella in the dugout. Epstein was hired after the Cubs went 71-91 in 2011, beginning a rebuilding process that included 101 losses in his first year in charge. But Epstein thinks the Cubs

are ready to contend right now, especially after the bold move to put Maddon in the dugout. First baseman Anthony Rizzo and shortstop Starlin Castro each made the All-Star team this year, and young sluggers Javier Baez and Jorge Soler had some positive moments in their first major league action. “We believe that we’re transitioning away from a three-year period where we were essentially only accumulating young talent, and now we’re competing,” Epstein said. Maddon’s most pressing task is building on the development of Chicago’s core group of young players, while paving the way for another wave of prospects that includes third baseman Kris Bryant and shortstop Addison Russell. “Why would you not want to accept this challenge in this city in that ballpark under these circumstances with this talent?” Maddon said. “It’s an extraordinary moment.”

Twins: Molitor will be team’s 13th manager Continued from Page B-1 tor, Boston Red Sox bench coach Torey Luvollo and Twins minor league manager Doug Mientkiewicz, according to reports. Matching the organization’s patient, deliberate style, Ryan took his time with the search before settling on the candidate widely believed to be the favorite all along, particularly given the franchise’s penchant for promoting from within. “I know he hasn’t managed, but I don’t think that should be a problem at all, just because his knowledge of the game. He’s been around the game for so long now,” Dozier said. “It’s just taking all he’s learned over his career and just going on the other side of it now.” Molitor, 58, will be the 13th manager of the Twins, who will begin their 55th season. He was an initial candidate in 2001 when Tom Kelly retired, after serving as bench coach during Kelly’s last two years, but Gardenhire got the job then. Gardenhire led the Twins to the AL Central title in his first year, the first of six on his watch, and a spot in the 2002 AL cham-

pionship series. The last of those division titles was as late as 2010, but gaps in the organizational talent pool quickly caught up with a club that was revered throughout the previous decade playing in the dingy, low-revenue Metrodome as one of bestrun in baseball. These days, the fan base is filled with frustration. Ryan, long one of the most revered decision-makers in the game, has not been immune from the criticism, either, and he realized the importance of this hire. Molitor’s Hall of Fame and 3,000-hit club credentials were pluses, sure, but his reputation of valuable work with prospects in his role as a roving tutor specializing in baserunning and infield play were equal strengths for Ryan to assess. Molitor served the 2004 season as hitting coach with the Seattle Mariners but has otherwise spent the majority of his post-playing days tutoring throughout the Twins organization. “I’ll tell you this much, there won’t be a team anywhere in the league with a better

leader than [Molitor],” Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe tweeted. “Very excited to battle with him!” Molitor made his reputation with the Milwaukee Brewers and won a World Series with the Toronto Blue Jays, but he finished a stellar 21-year career of flawless compact swings with the Twins from 1996 to ’98. The soft-spoken native of neighboring St. Paul attended the same high school as Twins first baseman Joe Mauer. After a standout career at the University of Minnesota, the Brewers took Molitor with the third pick in the 1977 draft. His time in the majors wasn’t without tumult. Brewers fans were stung when he signed with the Blue Jays. He struggled with injuries. Then there was the drug problem that dogged the early stage of his career, use of cocaine and marijuana he later said was a reaction to pressure he felt by his image as the clean-cut, Midwestraised star. AP sports writer Jon Krawczynski contributed to this report.

Waldorf: Match has important implications Continued from Page B-1 of one game by the Jaguars and the suspension of head coach Ben Gomez for contests against St. Michael’s and Santa Fe High. While the bylaw has been in existence for at least 40 years, McLaughlin, who is also Coronado’s head girls basketball coach and guided the girls basketball program at Grants from

2010 to 2013, mentioned that it’s uncommon to see such incidents at the lower classes. “I have seen it at the bigger schools and would bet it happens more than one would believe,” McLaughlin wrote. Tuesday’s volleyball match has important implications beyond just determining the top seed for the 1A tournament. Waldorf and Coronado both finished at 11-1 in the district,

and the playoff winner earns an automatic bid into the A State Tournament plus will hold home-court advantage for the tournament championship on Saturday. Also, the winner will hold a 2-1 edge in head-to-head competition, which could have implications for seeding for the state tournament. As of Monday, MaxPreps.com’s Freeman rankings, which are a part of

the criteria the NMAA uses for selection and seeding for state tournaments and playoffs, had Waldorf ranked fourth in A, while Coronado is No. 7. “It is an unfortunate incident that has taken the focus away from the game and the players,” McLaughlin wrote. “We are looking forward to the game and have spent our time preparing for the game keeping the distractions to a minimum.”

Volcano Vista sweeps SFHS in district tourney opener Santa Fe High’s volleyball season likely came to an end Monday night in Albuquerque. The Demonettes were swept away in a 25-11, 25-17, 25-15 loss at Volcano Vista in the opening round of the District 1AAAAAA tournament. Positive notes were hard to find for Santa Fe High, which failed to record a single ace and got just four kills each from Kayla Herrera and Brandi Fulgenzi. “That’s for an entire match, not just one game,” said head coach Sam Estrada. “It maybe was our worst match of the entire year. We thought we had a chance [at state], but we needed to show something good tonight and we just didn’t.” The Demonettes dropped to 9-12 on the season and were winless in nine matches against 1AAAAAA opponents. Elena Gonzales and Isabella Christian-Padilla each had three blocks while Herrera had a team-high nine digs. Volcano Vista (7-12) advances to the district tournament’s second round against third-seeded Cibola. Santa Fe High’s only chance of making the state tournament is with an atlarge bid. Pairings for the tournament will be revealed this weekend, but it’s highly unlikely that the Demonettes will be part of it. The New Mexican

for busy medical center. Must have a current license & experience in administrating chemical peels & laser treatments. Fax resume: 505-988-3160. DEAR SHIRTLESS fake-yoga dude at Larragoite Park: You may think you are some light-filled seeker of spiritual truth but you are really just a self-centered jerk. Wednesday morning, my dogs (on leashes) chased after your dogs (NOT on leashes). When my dogs hit the end of the leashes, I did a face-plant in the grass, losing my glasses and injuring my back. By the way, THAT is the reason YOUR dogs are supposed to be on leashes.) You did not have the Mindfulness nor the Humankindness to notice nor to help me up out of the dirt nor to help me find my glasses. (Do you know how hard it is to find one’s glasses when one is not wearing one’s glasses?) Please contact me through this newspaper:I would like you to reimburse me for the cost of this ad and for the six physical therapy sessions it will require to reassemble my back, Schmuck.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Daughter pushes birth mom away Dear Annie: When I was a teenager I gave up a child for adoption. Eighteen years later, “Doris” came looking for me, and we formed a very cordial relationship. By then, I was married and had three other children. Doris was also married, with children, and she and I visited often. I attended funerals, weddings, births, birthdays, dance recitals and holiday gatherings with her family for some 25 years. When my husband died and Doris divorced, things changed, and I don’t know why. She became distant. When she eventually remarried, I was happy for her. But when I married again six years after my husband died, she agreed to be in the wedding and then told me neither she nor her children would attend. Apparently, she had a disagreement with my daughter and couldn’t apologize. It has been three years, and there has been no attempt on either side to reconcile. Doris repeatedly told me not to contact her or her children, so I haven’t. Her children want nothing to do with me, and I was not invited to her oldest child’s wedding. Doris is a troubled woman and lies constantly. I suspect she has told her children — my grandchildren — all kinds of untrue things about our estrangement. She lied to her adoptive mother that I hadn’t invited her to my wedding, and when I said I had her message recorded on my answering machine, she went ballistic. She seems sociopathic to me. Is this genetic or environmental? She has been in counseling since childhood and admits to manipulating the counselors. I’m not sure what to do. — Confused Dear Confused: We wouldn’t attempt to diagnose Doris. It simply seems that whatever argument she had with your daughter precipitated a more complicated estrangement. You can try to get to the bottom of it, but you’d have to be very gentle and patient, and we cannot promise results. Frankly, we are surprised you had 25 good years. Many adoptee reunions don’t work out nearly so well. Dear Annie: I have a problem with being kept waiting in doc-

tors’ offices. I am paid by the hour, and if I have to wait too long for the appointment, my pay is docked. I try to schedule appointments with my primary care physician for first thing in the morning or at the end of the day. But several times in the past year, I have been kept waiting beyond what I believe is reasonable. Once I sat there for nearly two hours. Another time, I was kept waiting for 45 minutes to have blood drawn — a 10-minute procedure. When I ask the receptionist for an update, I’m given an evasive answer. I have filed complaints with my HMO health insurance company to no avail. I have considered changing primary care doctors, but I am afraid it will just be the same somewhere else. How do I find a physician in my area who does not keep people waiting? — California Patient Dear California: There is no reason a primary care physician needs to make you wait two hours for a standard appointment. First ask your friends and family for referrals, and “interview” the physicians to ask how long the average wait time is. Also check to see whether any of them keep evening or weekend hours. Then tell your doctor why you are leaving his practice. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Glad We Didn’t Wait.” My situation with my 92-year-old mother was similar. The boxes under her bed were filled with old photos with no names or dates. Mom suggested we make cards out of them and send them to younger family members and friends who might recognize a face or two. So we did. We received responses from several, but even those who didn’t recognize anyone enjoyed the cards as they were.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your suggestions seem endless, and you’re more willing to take risks. Make sure that your impulsiveness doesn’t take you down a road you might regret later. Tonight: Tap into a resourceful friend’s mind. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Recognize what is happening within your immediate circle.

Tonight: Run some errands. Jacqueline Bigar

but it sure seems like the current crop of Americans want what they want, and they want it now. u Who can save anything in this economy? This is another excuse that you might find yourself agreeing with. I realize that many people seem to think it’s heartless to suggest that it’s even possible to thrive and do sound planning in a sub-optimal economy. The reality is, we never have any guarantees about how the economy will perform. I’m willing to bet many of the people bemoaning the economy now weren’t saving much during the boom years of the mid-to-late 1990s. Without a doubt, the downside in this economy is fewer jobs that pay well. The upside? More opportunity than ever before to create our own businesses and opportunities. Not saying it’s easy, but more of us today need to be creative about generating income for our golden years.

u Society will collapse soon and/or the government will just take all my money. Yeah, I really hear this stuff. Some people I know have been saying things like this for several years, and through presidential administrations of both parties. Not sure when this Armageddon is supposed to occur, but as I tell people: The bigger risk is that the world doesn’t end, you live a long life, and you aren’t financially prepared for that. Sorry, I don’t have much sympathy for this brand of fatalistic thinking, and I blame the national news media for stirring up a lot of “the sky is falling” anxiety. Don’t let that scare you into complacency when it comes to your retirement savings. Chances are the world won’t end next week, we’ll muddle through the current malaise, and you’ll want to be ready for what emerges on the other side. u I don’t understand enough about

investing. In my experience, it’s almost always women who say this, as an excuse for not saving or for leaving a big pile of money withering away in a money market account. Guys will admit they are not market experts, but they don’t usually let that stop them from investing. You don’t need to have the market knowledge of Jim Cramer or Suze Orman to be a successful investor. Get help if you feel unsure. I recommend an approach based on either indexing or simple diversification. In other words, stick to a very simple mix of stock and bond funds, and don’t make outsized bets on any particular asset class, or worse, a single stock.

rom a secluded farm in Embudo, Margaret Campos Jacques grows leafy greens and packages them into salads. What sets Campos Jacques apart from other local growers is how she plans to sell her healthy creations — in vending machines. Already, she has a machine at Holy Cross Hospital in Taos, and she has aspirations to grow Los Loco’ls vending throughout Northern New Mexico. Campus Jacques is banking on the idea that people will eat local, healthy products if it is easy and affordable. That’s where the vending machine model comes in. She said she knows fewer people take a lunch to work these days, but a vending machine is always available. The reception so far has been limited, but Campos Jacques is unfazed. “The whole goal was to sell while I sleep,” she said. “I have been doing farmers markets since 1987. It’s a long time to be schlepping product everywhere.” Campos Jacques’ farm is about an hour’s drive north of Santa Fe off N.M. 68, the main thoroughfare to Taos. The rocky, one-lane road to her farm is sandwiched between a craggy canyon wall and the gentle babble of the Rio Grande. There, nestled in the canyon, is the farm and greenhouses of Campos Jacques and her mother, Eremita Campos. Two farm dogs greet newcomers, and a few cats roam what feels like a massive swath of land. Campos Jacques is often in the field during the day, planting, picking or preparing her crops. She said she practices a rotational style of farming, which means she is constantly planting or harvesting each week. She said there will be a lull in production during the winter months, but she said there is enough lettuce in her greenhouses to get her through. She and her husband, Angelo Jacques, prepare the salads on site. On a Friday morning, they took freshly

hen the ballots are counted after Election Day this week, the winning candidate for governor will have gone on record during the campaign for increasing the state minimum wage, which now stands at $7.50 an hour. But whether that winner is Attorney General Gary King, who is backing a wage increase to $10.10 an hour, or Gov. Susana Martinez, who said she supports a hike to perhaps $8 an hour (though she has fluctuated on this issue), the state leaders will be woefully behind city councilors Bruce and county comKrasnow missioners, who Business Matters have moved ahead with minimum wage hikes that will soon cover the vast majority of New Mexico’s working population. With a move in September by the city of Las Cruces, the three big metropolitan areas in New Mexico now have measures to boost the minimum wage of workers beyond the state minimum. What the governor and the Legislature do in January will matter to many of the fast-food workers and farm laborers in rural areas — especially along the borders with Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona. But it won’t have much impact where most of the workers earn a living, along the Rio Grande Corridor and Las Cruces, as those employees can thank their local officials for having more money to spend, not state lawmakers or the governor. By January 2016, all three metro areas will have wages above the state minimum, some — as in Santa Fe city and county — by a hefty amount. In Las Cruces, unless the local officials change, the wage will be at least $8.50 an hour. What a higher wage does in one city or county is boost the pay of workers in nearby communities as well, as there is one labor pool, especially for those with a solid work history. Restaurant owners in the unincorporated areas of Santa Fe County experienced this when the city minimum increased and workers migrated to jobs with the higher wage. Even though the wage increases now in place impact a population of about 850,000 people, those metro areas — Bernalillo County, Santa Fe County and Las Cruces — will have about 60 percent of the state workforce in 2016. For Albuquerque, that includes the adjacent counties of Sandoval, Torrence and Valencia, according to data from the Department of Workforce Solutions. The number of workers who earn a higher minimum might even be higher if we consider that few in the Hobbs-Lovington area are paid the state minimum wage, as the oil and

City Business Survey Highlights Barriers to Growing Santa Fe Business

A recent survey produced for the City Business and Quality of Life Committee asked local businesspeople about the local business environment. Only 17% said Santa Fe is above average and 83% say it is fair or below average.When asked about barriers to growing business, the respondents mentioned a qualified employee base, business regulation, an unstable minimum wage and high costs of labor and real estate. Suggestions for improvement were: “cut red tape”, increase marketing to tourists and businesses, increase local procurement by government, lower taxes and fees and improved broadband. A survey of visitors to Zozobra pointed out that we still do not have public restrooms on the Plaza or at the Railyard. The Santa Fe Airport is packed with travelers in the middle of the day suffering from an entirely inadequate facility. We currently have entirely separate City, County, Pueblo

It’s time to put the customer first. The Chamber will continue to advocate for these issues and represent local small business. Less regulation is essential to growing the local economy. Attention and resources must be given to a meaningful economic development plan. Simplifying the red tape and regulations are the low hanging fruit. A stable minimum wage can be easily achieved. Faster and cheaper broadband will benefit every business and resident and can easily be implemented. Other cities commit to a growing local economy and job creation. We must do the same.

SCOTT HUTTON OWNER/GENERAL MANAGER, HUTTON BROADCASTING LLC

From a previous employee, “You guys are amazing people, Santa Fe could use more Dave’s and Pattie’s and welcoming places like Frogurt”- Mary P. Frogurt works hard at building long lasting relationships with customers and local businesses/organizations in Santa Fe. We do this by having fundraisers, offering discounts to customers using punch cards or coupons, and by providing gift cards to be used as door prizes. To date these efforts add up to over $57,000 that we have given back to our community since opening our doors 4 years ago. “Hutton Broadcasting LLC is a family-owned Santa Fe business committed to serving and protecting the interests of our employees, customers, listeners and the community of Santa Fe.” As our mission statement outlines, we embrace the responsibility that comes with being a local business owner in our community. Since July of 2007, my family and our 50 employees have donated over 4 million dollars in air time, cash donations and services, and we have invested thousands of hours volunteering. Through these outreach efforts, we have developed a sustainable business model that enables our company to thrive, which is reflected by our continued growth and profitability.

New Earth Orchids is proud to support non-profit organizations such as New Mexico Animal Protection, Santa Fe Chorus & Symphony, Santa Fe Garden Club and Lensic Performing Arts Center by providing donations for their auctions. It is also our pleasure to use our orchids to add elegance and beauty to the fund raising functions of our community partners for which we donate a percentage of the sales back to them.

Del Norte No. 75 on credit union list Del Norte Credit Union has been listed as No. 75 on DepositAccount.com’s 2014 Top 200 Healthiest Credit Unions, making it the healthiest credit union in New Mexico, with an overall A-plus rating. DepositAccounts.com comprehensively evaluated and ranked more than 13,000 federally insured banks and credit unions in the U.S., establishing the healthy criteria based upon several key components including the Texas Ratio, deposit growth and capitalization. “Del Norte Credit Union operates in a financially sound and stable manner,” says DNCU CEO/President Chuck Valenti. “The results of this ranking attest to DNCU’s financial strength — strong deposit growth and capitalization, low operating expenses, and loan charge-offs and delinquencies well below the industry average.”

Santa Fe, Albuquerque construction firms to partner on larger projects Sarcon Construction Corporation, a general contractor located in Santa Fe, and Jaynes Corporation, a nationally recognized full-service construction company headquartered in Albuquerque, have signed a memorandum of understanding to undertake large building projects together in Northern New Mexico. Peter Brill, president and CEO of Sarcon, and Shad James, COO of Jaynes, have agreed on terms for sharing complementary resources and expertise. Often clients considering a large-scale building project in New Mexico engage firms from outside the area or outside the state. The Sarcon and Jaynes agreement means that even on very large projects, clients can work with a local firm. Brill said the agreement with Jaynes allows Sarcon to remain a client-focused company known for certain types of projects and specialized experience, but it can draw on Jaynes’ greater resource pool to address the needs of larger projects. “The emphasis is go local, go local,” Brill said. The agreement will allow the local companies to partner and build expertise that can be shared. “We believe this unprecedented collaboration will directly benefit Santa Fe and the surrounding communities of Northern New Mexico, as it means clients can work in person with a local firm in Santa Fe but still have the broader resources provided by a larger company based in Albuquerque,” Brill said.

N.M. gas prices below national average The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel in New Mexico is now $2.93, according to the AAA New Mexico Weekend Gas Watch. That price is 3 cents less than a week ago and 19 cents less than a year ago. Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in New Mexico, drivers in Santa Fe are paying the most at $2.91 per gallon, while drivers in Albuquerque are paying the least at $2.83 per gallon. New Mexicans are paying 8 cents less than the national average of $3.01. Continuing unrest in Iraq and geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe have taken a backseat to an emerging belief by many market watchers that global supply — including significantly higher oil production in the United States — is outpacing global demand growth. “New Mexicans are seeing a considerable savings at the pumps, and those savings come at an ideal time as people start to make travel plans for the upcoming holiday season,” said AAA Texas/New Mexico Representative Doug Shupe.

Nonprofit helps wood-floor manufacturer By Ron Burke For The New Mexican

W

hen the 2000 Viveash Fire burned through 17 million board feet of timber on his family’s homestead above Pecos, David Old drew on his experience as a sawmill owneroperator to make the best of overwhelming misfortune. The company David Old built from the ashes of his family’s fire-damaged forest is now a top-drawer manufacturer and global exporter of fine wood floors made from reclaimed wood harvested from private and public lands using environmentally sound forest-management standards. Sheer grit and entrepreneurial flexibility helped Old and his family-owned enterprise transform crisis into opportunity. In recent years, the Las Vegas, N.M.-based venture welcomed technical and training assistance from the New Mexico Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a nonprofit organization that helps businesses learn lean concepts that can increase their profitability and competitiveness.

Education Almost every year, Old Wood sends its core people to MEP-sponsored classes in lean manufacturing to help them internalize its core principles, which include maximizing efficiency and productivity while reducing waste.

Shiloh Old, David Old’s son and the company’s vice president of international operations, understands the importance of the principles, and he said the classes help company workers “to hear about it from someone other than the boss.” About half the company’s workforce of 18 to 25 full-time employees are laborers who help harvest pine and Douglas fir from forests damaged by wildfire and drought. The others — those who have received MEP training — are directly involved with the manufacturing process. They help design and produce the wideplank, end-grain and architectural products for which the company is becoming internationally known.

Building connections Old Wood turned to MEP again when a major client in Kuwait requested product certifications for each shipment of flooring it received from the company. The international inspection agency closest to Las Vegas was in Los Angeles, so the manufacturer referred the client to the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, which was able to certify its shipments on behalf of an inspection agency based in Italy. “We wouldn’t have been able to ship products” to the Middle East without this intervention, Old said. Those types of networks and connections are proving fruitful as Old Wood

Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe announced the appointment of new General Manager Meredith Macfarlane. A Four Seasons employee since 2007, Macfarlane was director of rooms then hotel manager at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto before her appointment at Beverly Wilshire. A native of Toronto, she is a graduate of Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. After studying history and political science, Macfarlane was drawn to hotel work by the promise of autonomy and the opportunity to provide intuitive service to guests that exceeds their expectations.

chopped lettuce and dumped it into a plastic cup. Next came the tomatoes, turnips, radishes and other veggies. They wedged a fork amid the greenery before securing the top with a plastic lid, leaving storage space for moist ingredients such as ham, cheese or olives, which prevents the lettuce from getting mushy. Finally, they put a packet of dressing into a plastic dome and affixed the dome to the lid. When everyone is in rhythm, it takes about five minutes to prep a salad — though Campos Jacques would argue it actually takes closer to weeks to make, given all the growing and farming required. But the manual labor is breezy compared to the permitting. It took Campos Jacques about 2½ years to obtain all the paperwork for her unique business venture. “I didn’t fit into any of their little boxes,” she said. So far, she has nine items licensed, but she wants to license at least 60. She wants a revolving selection of salads approved so she doesn’t have to wait to introduce new items. Campos Jacques began with one machine in the Manuel Lujan Building in Santa Fe, but she lamented its location — a part of the state building accessible only by key card. The public didn’t have easy access to the food. Campos Jacques expects more traffic with the introduction of the vending machine at the Taos hospital. Whereas the state building only has traffic during the weekdays, she anticipates 24/7 traffic in the hospital. And

On its introductory page to the conference, the host committee writes of Northern New Mexico: “Over centuries, these routes have transported people to the area, fostering ongoing cultural exchange of goods and ideas. Along with agricultural products came knowledge of their many uses, both as food and construction materials. Cosmological philosophies were discussed and religions blended. “Not much has changed.

expands its reach in the global market. MEP, for example, has helped Old Wood find international partners for various business ventures and is available whenever the company needs a document certified by a manufacturing control group, according to Old. Because of its connections with manufacturers around the state, the organization has helped Old Wood find people with the expertise it needed to expand its product line to include custom furniture and interior architectural creations. “It’s made it a lot easier,” Old said. “We would have had to find something to replace [MEP] if it didn’t exist.” New Mexico Manufacturing Extension Partnership collaborates with other nonprofit and government organizations to provide services. Lean manufacturing classes are offered through a partnership with the New Mexico Small Business Assistance program, which pays the participation fees for businesses that qualify. For information about training and other services available from New Mexico MEP, visit the organization’s website at newmexicomep.org or call 505-262-0921.

Campos Jacques hopes to get a machine into Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center soon. Campos Jacques will offer salads on a seasonal basis. Recently, she had a raspberry and goat cheese salad, but the fruit fell out of season. She since has introduced an apple salad. Each salad has a shelf life of about a week. Her lettuce, she said, is more resilient than the varieties found in grocery stores. The challenge comes from other ingredients, such as the eggs in the chef salad. She said she pulls the salads after five days in the vending machine. That gives her time to donate the salads to the hungry. She said she strives to use local ingredients whenever possible, although she does use ingredients from national sources, as is the case with the cheddar cheese and ham used in the chef’s salad. Campos Jacques is limited by how much her farm can produce. She estimated that her usual haul could keep about nine machines stocked with fresh salads. That’s a sharp limit on growth. But she already has plans to contract with other local farmers to increase her production limits. Campos Jacques hopes to expand beyond hospitals and install vending machines in spas, where people are actively trying to live and eat healthy, she said. And eventually she would like to get machines into local schools. “Everyone has a right to eat well,” she said. Contact Chris Quintana at 986-3093 or cquintana@sfnewmexican.com.

New Mexico is one of only eight states where there is still a high level of surplus construction labor, according to Vermeulens, an economics consulting firm that specializes in the construction sector. Among the 50 states, only North Dakota has seen a construction utilization rate of 100 percent or more, but several states near New Mexico — Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas — have rates above 90 percent, while New Mexico is around 70 percent. Other states with low rates are Arizona, Idaho, Nevada and Washington. Infrastructure spending is one of the drivers nationally for construction, with a growth of 9 percent expected in 2014, according to McGraw-Hill. But what happens nationally in the election might be a factor going forward as a divided Congress has had a difficult time finding consensus on new federal spending priorities.

Finances: No need to be math expert Continued from Page C-1 intricacies of the stock market, but it literally pays to know a little bit. And you don’t need to be good at math to understand the stock market. Investing is more of a social science, not a math exercise. I was a creative writing major in college. Investing is not about math, so don’t use that as an excuse, either. Actually, the excuse I hear most often is “I’ll never retire,” but I’ve written about that here previously, so I’ll skip it for today. Sure, it’s wise to start saving in your 20s or 30s, but I suspect for many readers, that train left the station long ago. The closer you are to retirement, the more crucial it is to get moving. Do something, rather than nothing, and don’t just wave the white flag of surrender. After all, those excuses won’t keep a roof over your head 15 or 20 years from now, will they?
