here was no shortage of news to dominate New Mexico headlines last year — a controversial shake-up in the state mental health system, a governor getting more and more national attention, a video-gone-viral of a state police officer shooting at a minivan full of children in Taos County. There was even an uproar over Frito pies. But ultimately, 2013 might be remembered as the year same-sex marriage became legal in New Mexico.

Until recent months, the idea of marriage equality becoming a reality in New Mexico seemed like a distant dream for same-sex couples who wanted legal recognition of their relationships. The Legislature, despite being controlled by Democrats, repeatedly rejected bills that would have established state-recognized “domestic partnerships” for gay couples.

But by the time the state Supreme Court published its decision on same-sex marriage in the case known as Griego v. Oliver on Dec. 19, some county clerks in the state already had been issuing marriages licenses to gay couples, and nobody, it seemed, was even talking about domestic partnerships anymore. The high court made it official, ruling that prohibiting same-sex couples from getting married was a violation of the state constitution. And thus, New Mexico became the 17th state to allow gay marriage.

In March, the state’s chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union had filed a lawsuit on behalf of gay couples who had been denied a marriage license by the Bernalillo County Clerk. Shortly afterward, State Rep. Brian Egolf, a lawyer as well as a Democratic state representative, filed a similar lawsuit against the Santa Fe County clerk for denying a marriage license to a Santa Fe couple.

And in August, the dam started breaking.

On Aug. 16, the state Supreme Court declined to immediately hear the marriage equality cases, but urged state District Courts to hear the cases on an expedited basis. In Las Cruces, Doña Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins came to the conclusion that there’s nothing in state law prohibiting gay marriage, so it should be allowed. He began to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The next day, state District Judge

Sarah Singleton in Santa Fe ruled that Santa Fe County Clerk Geraldine Salazar must issue a license to Egolf’s clients, and she did so. In the days to follow, six more counties followed suit, including Bernalillo, where a judge ruled that prohibiting same-sex marriage violated the state constitution.

In some counties, including Doña Ana, a group of Republican legislators filed court actions trying to stop marriage licenses from being issued to same-sex couples. And with all

than a decade has proved unwilling to take a stand one way or another on the issue.

Other major stories of 2013: The mental health shake-up: In late June, the state’s 15 largest behavioral health providers learned that the state was suspending their Medicaid payments following an outside audit by a Boston firm that identified $36 million in alleged overpayments and the state Human Services Department’s finding that there were “credible allegations of fraud.”

Though this news stunned the providers — some of whom would be forced out of business by the Medicaid reimbursement freeze — Human

The minimum wage is set to go up in 13 states and several municipalities Jan. 1, but the increase for Santa Fe workers will not happen until March 1, the date mandated by city ordinance.

Under Santa Fe’s Living Wage Ordinance, the minimum hourly pay for workers, now set at $10.51 per hour, will be adjusted according to the 12-month cost-of-living index for the Western region. If that adjustment were made today, the wage would increase 14 cents to $10.65 an hour, said city spokeswoman Jodi Porter.

But the official calculation will not be completed until after the December cost-of-living numbers are published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics — in mid-January.

“I will be working with the Economic Development Division and the Finance Department on the final calculations for the living wage hike,” Porter said in an email.

Regardless of what the final number will be, it’s certain that in 2014, Santa Fe will lose its distinction of having the second-highest minimum wage in the United States, behind San Francisco.

San Francisco’s minimum wage will increase to $10.74 per hour on New Year’s Day. But the same day, transportation and hospitality workers in a town near the Seattle-Tacoma airport in Washington state called SeaTac will begin earning the highest minimum wage in the country.

those counties, including the state’s three most populous, allowing gay marriage, the state association for county clerks petitioned the state Supreme Court to hear the issue.

In October, the hearing finally came, and even state Sen. Bill Sharer of Farmington and other opponents of gay marriage said it appeared the writing was on the wall. He was proved right Dec. 19.

That doesn’t mean the fight is over. The day after the court ruling, Sharer prefiled a proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage in New Mexico as being between one man and one woman.

But before that would go to the voters, it would have to go through the state Legislature, which for more

Slovakia takes last Uighurs from Gitmo MIAMI — Three members of a persecuted ethnic minority from China have been released from Guantánamo Bay and sent to the Central European country of Slovakia, officials said Tuesday, resolving a diplomatic dilemma that had kept the men imprisoned long after a judge had ordered their release.

The three men were the last three ethnic Uighurs held at the U.S. base in Cuba and their release after months of intense diplomatic efforts comes amid a renewed effort

by President Barack Obama to close down the prison.

Slovakia had accepted three other Guantánamo prisoners in 2009 and allowed the resettlement of the Uighurs after other countries refused because of pressure from the Chinese government, which has sought to take custody of the men.

Kerry seeks final peace framework WASHINGTON — A senior State Department official says Secretary of State John Kerry will try this week to get Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a framework for negotiating a final peace agreement, yet cautions against raising expectations for Kerry’s latest round of shuttle diplomacy.

The official says that when Kerry heads to the region on Wednesday, he will test ideas for breaching gaps between the two parties, but says a “big breakthrough” is not expected this week in the decades-long dispute.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity to brief reporters on Kerry’s trip.

2014: Protests and fireworks mark celebrations

By Aya Batrawy The Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates ith fireworks, dancing and late-night revelry, millions around the world welcomed 2014 on Tuesday, gathering for huge displays of jubilation and unity as the new year arrived.

Dubai, a Persian Gulf city known for glitz, glamour and over-the-top achievements like the world’s tallest skyscraper, sought to break another record by creating the largest fireworks show.

In Ukraine, anti-government protesters hoped to set their own record for the most people to sing a national anthem at the same time.

Crowds heading to New York City’s Times Square could expect the traditional ball drop but no mayor this year. The new year was to be rung in by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor instead.

The Dubai skyline was a canvas for a dazzling 30-minute show capping off with six minutes of fireworks that engulfed the city’s man-made, palm-

shaped island, with its fronds and trunk shimmering in thousands of lights.

On Kiev’s main square, at least 100,000 Ukrainians sang their national anthem in a sign of support for integration with Europe.

The square has been the scene of massive proEuropean protests for more than a month, triggered by President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to ditch a key deal with the European Union.

Britain planned to welcome 2014 with a mixture of futuristic fireworks and torch-lit tradition. For people in London, the New Year offered the opportunity to taste the fireworks.

In Sydney, Australia, fireworks organizers expected to set off 7.7 tons of pyrotechnics in 12 seconds in a display that sprayed from the sails of the Sydney Opera House and the city’s harbor bridge.

New Zealand concluded 2013 with its own fireworks that erupted from Auckland’s Sky Tower while cheering crowds danced in the streets of the South Pacific island nation’s largest city.

DENVER — Police were adding extra patrols around pot shops in eight Colorado towns that plan to allow recreational sales to anyone over 21 on Jan. 1. Officials at Denver International Airport installed new signs warning visitors their weed can’t legally go home with them.

And at a handful of shops, owners were scrambling to plan celebrations, set up coffee stations, arrange food giveaways and hire extra security to prepare for potential crowds and overnight campers ready to buy up to an ounce of legal weed.

While smoking pot has been legal in Colorado for the past year, socalled Green Wednesday represents another historic milestone for the decades-old legalization movement: the unveiling of the nation’s first legal pot industry.

Preparation for the retail market started more than a year ago, soon after Colorado voters in 2012 approved the legal pot industry.

Pot advocates had argued it would generate revenue for state coffers and save money in locking up drug offenders. Still, setting up regulations, taxation and oversight for a drug that’s never been regulated before took some time.

Colorado set up an elaborate planttracking system to try to keep the drug away from the black market, and regulators set up packaging, labeling and testing requirements, along with potency limits for edible pot.

The U.S. Justice Department outlined an eight-point slate of priorities for pot regulation, requiring states to keep the drug away from minors, criminal cartels, federal property and other states in order to avoid a federal crackdown. Pot is still illegal under federal law.

With the additional police patrols, the airport warnings and various other measures, officials are hoping they had enough safeguards in place to avoid predictions of public health and safety harm from the opening of the pot shops.

But they confessed anxiety about the opening of retail sales.

High court halts birth control mandate don their religious convictions and take actions that facilitate access to abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives and sterilization for their employees and students,” lawyer Noel J. Francisco said in appeals to Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Elena Kagan.

The law requires employers to provide insurance that covers a range of preventive care, free of charge, including contraception.

The Catholic Church prohibits the use of contraceptives.

The Supreme Court in 2012 upheld the constitutionality of the core of the Affordable Care Act, saying its insurance mandate and the tax penalty enforc-

Sotomayor issues stay after hearing request from nuns The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Supreme Court justice has blocked implementation of part of President Barack Obama’s health care law that would have forced some religion-affiliated organizations to provide health insurance for employees that includes birth control.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s decision came Tuesday night after a different effort by Catholic-affiliated groups from around the nation. Those groups rushed to the federal courts to stop Wednesday’s start of portions of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Sotomayor acted on a request from an order of Catholic nuns in Colorado, whose request for a stay had been denied by the lower courts.

Sotomayor is giving the government until Friday morning to respond to her decision.

Several organizations, including the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington, the Catholic Diocese of Nashville, Catholic University and the Michigan Catholic Conference, earlier on Tuesday asked justices to block the law until their arguments are heard.

On that day, “a regulatory mandate will expose numerous Catholic organizations to draconian fines unless they aban-

ing it fell within the power of Congress to impose taxes.

The Obama administration crafted a compromise, or accommodations, that attempted to create a buffer for religiously affiliated hospitals, universities and social service groups that oppose birth control. The law requires insurers or the health plan’s outside administrator to pay for birth control coverage and creates a way to reimburse them.

That isn’t enough, Francisco said. “In short, under the accommodation, applicants must authorize their third party administrators or insurance companies to provide the very

products and services they find morally objectionable,” he said.

“Suffice it to say, the ‘accommodation’ does not resolve applicants’ religious objection to participation in this regulatory scheme.”

Roberts and Kagan handle emergency requests for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Sixth Circuit.

They can act by themselves or involve the rest of the court.

Francisco said 11 federal judges have entered permanent or preliminary injunctions against the birth control mandate as it applies to nonprofit religious organizations, while six have refused to do so.

Year: Taos minivan shooting incident draws national attention Continued from Page A-1 Services had been preparing for this move for months. The department already had lined up five providers from Arizona — and agreed to pay them more than $17 million via no-bid contracts — to step in and take over the caseloads from the New Mexico providers, who now were under criminal investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office.

Those under investigation complained that they never were told the specific allegations against them and thus had been denied any opportunity to defend their reputations.

Several of those providers petitioned a federal court for a restraining order. However, a judge denied the request.

Human Services as well as Attorney General Gary King steadfastly resisted requests to release the full audit, claiming that would jeopardize the investigation. The state Foundation for Open Government and some news organizations filed court actions to get the audit, but two separate judges ruled in favor of the state.

Democratic lawmakers, including two gubernatorial candidates, state Sens. Linda Lopez and Howie Morales, have been vocal in lambasting the Republican administration’s handling of the situation. There have been radio ads from both sides of the issue. But the full audit has yet to be released, and the attorney general’s investigate still is ongoing.

Our rising GOP star: Even before she was sworn in as governor three years ago, some national pundits were speculating that Susana Martinez could be a possible contender for national office. That didn’t slow down in 2013. In fact, it gained steam in early November, when Martinez campaigned in New Jersey for the re-election of Gov. Chris Christie, a possible 2016 Republican presidential contender.

The main things Martinez has going for her, the commentators said, was that she is a female Hispanic — which covers two

GOP RISING STAR: New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez attends a campaign stop for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Nov. 4 in Hillside, N.J. The national media have speculated that Martinez could be someone of influence come 2016. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO groups with whom the GOP has to improve its appeal — and she’s a governor in a time when being a member of Congress isn’t automatically seen as a huge plus.

There were many articles in national publications about Martinez, most of them glowing. One major exception was a piece in The National Journal that basically pummeled her political adviser, Jay McCleskey, presenting him as someone with too much power and influence over the governor.

Of course, it’s still a long way until 2016. There’s the question of whether she really wants to be on the ticket. She’s repeatedly said she doesn’t, though that’s what they all say. Either way, Martinez would have to win re-election this year if she’s going to be considered as anyone’s running mate.

A police shooting in Taos: What started out as a routine speeding stop by state police in Taos County turned into a frantic chase that drew national attention. The incident was captured on video, which soon went “viral” on the Internet.

On Oct. 28, Officer Tony DeTavis pulled over Oriana Farrell, a mother of five from Memphis, Tenn., for driving 71 mph in a 55 mph zone. But instead of taking the ticket, Farrell drove away. The officer caught up with her, stopped

her again, and a scuffle ensued between him and Farrell, as well as her 14-year-old son. Two other officers arrived at the scene, and the family members locked themselves inside their van. DeTavis tried to break a window with his baton.

Once again, Farrell sped away, and Officer Elias Montoya fired three shots at the van’s rear wheels. A chase ensued through Taos, reaching speeds up to 100 mph. Farrell and her son later were arrested.

Montoya, a 12-year veteran of state police, was fired in December. He has said he will appeal the termination.

Floods and drought: Normally, New Mexicans are thankful for any rain we can get. This September, however, proved that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

The mid-September showers caused floods along the Pecos River and prompted officials to issue hazardous driving warnings. Some areas of Central and Eastern New Mexico received record-setting amounts of rain, according to the National Weather Service.

Flood-plagued roads in Southern New Mexico prompted Carlsbad Caverns to shut down and evacuate visitors and staff.

The Red Cross reported that families from 200 flooded Carlsbad homes had to be evacuated.

National Guard helicopters flew

to a mobile-home park 15 miles south of Artesia to help rescue people stranded there by the flooding.

But don’t think the floods signaled the end of the drought.

A study by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released last month said that higher temperatures, faster snowmelt and more drought in the Upper Rio Grande Basin are among the challenges Northern New Mexico faces due to climate change.

A surprise tax deal: Gov. Martinez’s tax proposals, including a cut to the corporate tax rate, had appeared to be stalled in the 2013 legislative session.

But on that last day in midMarch, the Senate pushed through lengthy amendments to a bill dealing with tax incentives for television productions.

It included items Republicans liked, such as cutting the corporate tax to 5.9 percent from 7.6 percent. It also included a pot sweetener for the Democrats, a long-sought provision to tax out-of-state retail stores at the same rate as smaller, homeowned businesses.

The amendment passed by a large, bipartisan margin and went back to the House, where the leadership of both parties had united behind it. Some Democrats complained that new House Speaker Kenny Martinez bent or even broke

rules by limiting debate on the bill. Some insist that the final vote was taken after the adjournment deadline.

One lingering controversy over the bill is the fact that to pay for the tax cuts, local governments will lose their “hold harmless” payments, which began in 2004 when the state stopped collecting gross receipts taxes on food and medicine. Those payments, which reimburse local governments for the taxes that they would have collected on food and medicine, are being phased out over the next 15 years.

Education battles: Gov. Martinez’s educational reforms continued to stir controversy in 2013. Her proposal to retain third-graders who can’t read once again hit the wall in the Legislature.

And although the Senate Rules Committee, after three years, finally held a hearing for Public Education Secretarydesignate Hanna Skandera, the committee failed to have a vote on the nomination.

But Martinez and Skandera went around the Legislature in August to establish, by executive order, a system of teacher evaluations that bases teachers’ evaluations on the results of three years of student test scores, classroom observations by trained administrators and teacher attendance records.

Opponents, including teacher unions and Democratic legislators, blasted the action. The matter went to court in November, where an Albuquerque judge ruled the administration didn’t act illegally.

Death at a rave: A 14-yearold Santa Fe Santa Fe High School student, Hannah Bruch, died Aug. 11 after an all-night “rave” concert at Expo New Mexico in Albuquerque. Police investigators determined the cause of her death was a type of Ecstasy known as “Molly.”

Bruch, investigators said, took five doses of the drug with her friends.

In November, state police arrested Eric Stone, 26, in Rio Rancho in connection with Bruch’s death.

He was charged with three counts of distributing a controlled substance to a minor, a second-degree felony. He could face a maximum sentence of 28 years on those charges.

After Bruch’s death, Expo New Mexico announced it would halt all-ages events and electronic music shows.

Horse slaughter: A Roswell firm, Valley Meat Co., was a source of much controversy through the year with its plan to open a horse meat processing plant. The meat would be shipped to other countries for human consumption, as well as animal and zoo food.

Animal rights advocates filed a federal court action to try to stop Valley, but a federal judge tossed out the case.

State Attorney General Gary King filed a lawsuit last month claiming the operation would violate state laws related to food safety, water quality and unfair business practices.

Valley’s lawyer gas called the case frivolous. A district judge in Santa Fe on Friday will hear King’s request for a temporary restraining order.

Frito pies: Insult our politicians, our weather, our tepid nightlife, but don’t mess with our Frito pies. That’s the message that TV chef and food critic Anthony Bourdain got in September when he said some unpleasant things about the delicious bag of corn chips topped with chile, cheese and vegetables.

Bourdain, who visited the store for his CNN series Parts Unknown, ate a Frito pie on camera at the Five & Dime General Store on the Santa Fe Plaza.

He told viewers, “It feels like you’re holding warm crap in a bag,” and claimed, inaccurately, it’s made from “canned Hormel chili and day-glow orange cheese-like substance.” The insults angered many locals.

Some didn’t seem to hear him when he called it delicious and a guilty pleasure.

In November, Five & Dime owner Earl Potter said the controversy didn’t hurt the store.

“We had our best October ever,” he said.

Wage: Washington sets high bar Continued from Page A-1 a $15-an-hour minimum wage in November that a judge ruled can now take effect for some 1,600 workers.

Washington state also has the highest state minimum wage of $9.19 per hour.

Spurred by Mayor David Coss when he was a city councilor, Santa Fe passed its so-called “living wage” law in 2003 on a 7-1 vote.

The law set an initial minimum of $8.50 per hour on Jan. 1, 2004, and an increase to $9.50 in 2006.

It has since withstood a court challenge and a University of New Mexico economic impact analysis, and has been adjusted nearly every year to reflect the rising cost of living.

The measure was amended in 2007 to cover all workers — not just those working for larger employers — and pegged future increases to the cost-of-living

SANTA FE LIVING WAGE ORDINANCE February 2003: Law is approved by City Council.

Jan. 1, 2004: Wage is set at $8.50.

Jan. 1, 2006: Wage is increased to $9.50.

November 2007: Bill is amended so wage would be adjusted automatically each March 1.

March 2009: Wage is set at $9.85.

March 2012: Wage is set at $10.29.

March 2013: Wage is set at $10.51.

March 2014: Wage is estimated to reach $10.65.

index, not the City Council’s whim.

Since then, the words of then Councilor David Pfeffer, who was the sole vote against the original ordinance, have come to pass. “This will be impossible to rescind,” Pfeffer said during the 2003 council meeting. “Why are we passing it? Because the nation is watching us, and we are a test case.”

In Albuquerque, a voterapproved wage hike increases the minimum wage there on

Jan. 1 to $8.60 an hour, while the minimum wage for tipped workers goes from $3.83 to $5.16.

Nationwide, there are now 21 states with a higher wage than the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour.

California is set to raise its minimum to $9 in July, and the new mayor of Seattle is looking to raise the minimum in that city to $15.

OPINIONS

The West’s oldest newspaper, founded 1849 Robin M. Martin Owner

COMMENTARY: STEPHEN L. CARTER

In 2014: Events of last year linger A s we await the dawning of the new year, I would like to look back on a pair of stories that received less coverage than they should have during 2013.

Although different, each raises profound questions about our future. I don’t claim that these are the most important stories, or that nobody noticed them at all — only that we should be paying more attention, and should ponder their implications, both in the year to come and in the decades beyond.

In February, a meteor struck the Earth’s atmosphere and exploded above Chelyabinsk, Russia, causing more than 1,000 injuries but no deaths.

Had it approached at a slightly different angle, the carnage would have been titanic. The explosion should have served as a warning. Instead, the story flashed briefly across the world’s consciousness, then vanished. The dissipating of interest is easy to understand: A meteor strike in which nobody dies is “dog bites man,” not “man bites dog.”

But we should be paying closer attention. In November, the journal Nature published two papers that concluded that impacts of similar meteorites are more frequent than previously thought, and they could do enormous damage should the kinetic energy not be absorbed in the atmosphere. The Chelyabinsk meteorite, as it turns out, had a diameter of only about about 66 feet but caused damage 60 miles away. It weighed at least 12,000 metric tons, far heavier than initially thought.

It exploded with the energy of a 500-kiloton nuclear blast (by way of comparison, the bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had yields of 15 and 20 kilotons, respectively). So a ground burst would have been a disaster.

Historically, the atmosphere has protected the surface of the Earth from collisions with relatively small asteroids. But there are plenty out there measuring almost 165 feet in diameter and more, the size known to astronomers as “city killers.” An extraterrestrial object of that size would likely survive contact with the atmosphere and produce

OUR VIEW

Start small, make big gains

T a devastating ground burst.

The University of Hawaii’s Asteroid Terrestrial- Impact Last Alert System, funded by a grant from NASA, is designed to give one week’s warning of the impact of asteroids of city-killer size — or larger. It is expected to be in place by the end of 2015.

If, as researchers believe, a city killer arrives about once a century, then we are due: The last one struck Siberia in June 1908. We’re not close to ready.

There are a number of truly imaginative plans out there, including one that involves white paint. Yet NASA lacks the money for a serious response system, even though it is under congressional mandate to have one by 2020.

No doubt there will be endless appropriations (and recriminations) once a city killer actually strikes. “Any fool can tell a crisis when it arrives,” wrote Isaac Asimov.

“The real service to the state is to detect it in embryo.”

Pope Francis has captured the imagination of the world, even if his messages have been widely misunderstood.

Even Time magazine, which named Francis its person of the year, had to correct its erroneous assertion that he had rejected church dogma.

If we hope to understand Francis, we might begin not by celebrating his carefully

nuanced statements on issues around which our politics revolve, but by studying his considered words about the Christian faith itself. I would suggest an examination of the only encyclical he has issued so far, Lumen Fidei (“Light of Faith”). There Francis has this to say: “Love and truth are inseparable. Without love, truth becomes cold, impersonal and oppressive for people’s day-to-day lives.”

In the midst of the holiday season, these words ought to resonate. Francis, of course, is speaking of the light of Christ, but one needn’t be Christian, or even religious, to see the broader point. All of us have a terrible tendency toward unwarranted certainty — certain we are right, certain others are wrong, certain that if our ideas were only adopted all would be sweetness and light to the end of time.

When we find the truth, we often decide that what really matters is that everybody else honor the truth that we have discovered. And when we discover that others don’t honor our truths — that they have truths of their own — we turn against them in confusion and even horror.

This isn’t the place to catalog the woeful character of our political debate. But the mentality against which Francis warns does not manifest

itself only in the meanness that we ascribe to our opponents. Too often it characterizes the very design of policy.

We tend to work at high levels of abstraction, dealing with people as statistical masses rather than as individuals with their own interests and desires and — most important — their own dignity.

Our seeming inability to look with love upon those who differ leads to a profound alienation from both politics and policy. I suspect that it lies behind the movement in Silicon Valley toward searching for a place to found an alternative country, one less regulated, in which there is a greater freedom to experiment, not just technologically but in other ways as well — “to peacefully opt out,” in the words of Stanford University lecturer Balaji Srinivasan.

Even if we followed Francis’ advice and tempered truth with love, there would still be many dissatisfied with government policy. But I would like to believe that such a change would help make our politics less alienating, and our government more respectful.

That belief, I suppose, is itself an act of faith. If so, this is the right season for it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Remember the Golden Rule with others

I

want to commend you for your Christmas Eve editorial (“Celebrating the season,” Dec. 24). I think you got it right on several counts. Your call for tolerance is nothing less than a statement of the Golden Rule, known to all religions.

I send along Hills Mid-latitude Holy Day Calendar, which I used as a teaching tool during the latter part of my 43-yearcareer in support of your use of the concept of the return of the light. Santa Fe is definitely special in both respects.

Again, thank you for a most enlightened editorial.

and was taken by ambulance from a parking lot to St. Vincent, where I received the most incredible, up-to-date medical care imaginable. The emergency room attendees were swift, gracious and very capable. Their diagnosis was quick and accurate. The doctor was educated with the latest surgical techniques and sized up the situation. He took care of it immediately.

Further, the four-night stay was pleasant and painless due to the terrific nursing staff in the orthopedic wing. I feel blessed to have had such care.

I truly hope the people of Santa Fe will put their trust in St. Vincent. We need such a facility in our little community.

Marilyn Jensen

A capable facility I have lived in Santa Fe for more than 50 years and Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center has been the medical facility I have used for much of my life. Thank you, St. Vincent for still being here.

Recently, I had a traumatic experience

he start of a new year is a perfect time to take stock, reassess and make goals — while realizing, of course, that by February, many resolutions will be forgotten in the rush of daily living.

On Jan. 1, people promise to exercise, eat more vegetables, save money, smile more and by late February, they are back in the drive-thru getting a hamburger while idling the car, scowling as the fast-food worker counts out the change.

But resolutions do not have to be doomed to failure.

And change doesn’t have to be big and overnight. Change can happen, one step at a time, if people take the time and energy to figure out what matters. Incremental change can result in a big difference one year from now.

Take, for example, the ever-popular New Year’s Resolution to shed holiday pounds. Rather than set a big goal — 20 pounds by bikini season, what experts say works better is to break that goal down. Resolve to lose a pound a week, and then set exercise and eating goals that can make that possible. Schedule three, 30-minute workouts to start.

There will be plenty of specials on gym memberships and classes in the first weeks of the new year, or take advantage of Santa Fe’s outdoors and start walking along the trail system.

Committing to better health doesn’t have to be a sacrifice, but can be a way to improve life — not to mention saving money because such conditions as diabetes and obesity are delayed, or even avoided all together. The savings on health costs and the better quality of life will pay off.

Eating better can be complicated, what with the competing health claims of different products. One good habit — easy enough not to drive a person nuts — is to start eating foods with fewer ingredients. Cutting out processed foods and replacing them with whole foods can improve health, energy, and eventually, lead to weight loss.

The website, 100 Days of Real Food, (www.100daysof realfood.com) offers concrete ideas to start changing your diet in simple, yet effective ways. Try one of their “10-Days of Real Food pledge” or a “weekly mini-challenge.” The site’s tips even help busy families plan snacks and quick meals so they can avoid the fast-food trap. And guess what? Eating foods prepared at home can end up fulfilling another resolution — you will save money by not eating out. That is enough to make anyone smile.

Small changes add up. They become the building blocks toward achieving big goals. By taking small steps, come 2015, this year’s resolutions can become a way of life.

Pueblo people to surrender, promising clemency.

When the capital had been taken, de Vargas ordered some 70 of the Pueblo men killed. Women and children were distributed as servants to the colonists. Similar bloody fighting occurred at many of the other pueblos before the governor felt the Native people had truly submitted to his and the king’s authority. The plundering of Pueblo stocks of corn and other supplies, to sustain the struggling colony, was a periodic occurrence that inflamed animosity.

Is it surprising that the statue honoring this man is periodically vandalized?

Would anyone be surprised if a statue in Tel Aviv honoring Hitler became the target of attacks?

Remove the statue and replace it with one honoring a Native American hero or with one of Allan Houser’s statues showing the majesty and dignity of a Native American.

Cars and coffee on Seinfeld’s Web talk show

By Frazier Moore The Associated Press

NEW YORK erry Seinfeld loves cars.

He’s fond of coffee. And, of course, he’s a comedian who loves to talk comedy.

But the inspiration for his online talk show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (wherein he and a fellow comedian crack wise while powered by a car and caffeine), was inspired by an episode of his eponymous 1990s sitcom.

In that memorable episode, Jerry’s sad-sack pal, George, decided success might await him if he lived his failed life in the opposite manner.

“That,” recalls Seinfeld in a recent interview, “gave me the idea to create a talk show that was the opposite of the typical show.

“With a typical talk show,” he explains, “you have to go to a studio. You have to tell them in advance what you’re going to talk about. You have to dress up. You have to put on makeup. It’s very, very organized.

“I thought, maybe there’s a different way than being stuck on a couch: Outside and moving is the opposite of inside and still.

“That,” he sums up, “is where it began.”

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee launched on the Crackle digital network in 2012, and its third season hits the road Thursday with Seinfeld joining Louis C.K. for a cup of joe after a zany ride on a clown-car-scale 1959 Fiat Jolly.

“I pick you up at your house and we literally go out for a cup of coffee.” Future ridealongs include Patton Oswalt, Howard Stern, Tina Fey, Todd Barry and Jay Leno.

“I wanted to make a show that people would like to be on, instead of groaning, ‘Yeah, all right, I’ll do it,’ ” says Seinfeld in his office in Manhattan’s famed Brill Building, where he will soon begin another editing session to whittle the Leno episode to a tight 18 minutes from the three hours of recorded chitchat.

“Do you feel like that music is a little bit of a rough transition?” he muses. “It’s a little abrupt. But you know the second phrase of that track is a little more gentle. Maybe we could start there, you know what I mean?”

Even so, the flavor of each episode is insistently no-frills, candid and off-the-cuff.

Seinfeld says he never prepares for a taping.

“Things just occur to me.

Like asking Howard Stern to tell me how his life ends, what he’s doing in that last moment.

It just occurred to me as we were driving. He seemed like a guy who’s really afraid of death. So I wanted to ask him about it.”

As for Oswalt, “he seemed very comic-book geeky, so I asked him, ‘What’s your favorite superhero?’ And he froze.

That was like the worst thing I could ask him. He couldn’t commit to one comic book superhero being his favorite!”

Needless to say, Seinfeld mostly focuses on comedy with each guest.

“That’s what I normally talk about during the day,” he says, looking very Jerry at his desk clad in jeans, a gray sweater with a rakish black scarf at his throat and a pair of Nike Shox.

“At least 50 percent of the waking life of every comedian is gossiping and analyzing with other comedians about comedy. Comedy is a very mysterious profession, so we’re always trying to figure it out.”

In the untainted back-andforth that results on his show, Seinfeld proves to be an excellent audience, clearly enjoying each guest’s bons mots as much as he enjoys delivering his own.

on her arm, Bellinger chronicled her journey in a funny, poignant and insightful blog up until a few days before her death. At some point, when the cancer robbed her of her ability to type, she dictated, while friends typed her posts.

Her books are packed with her sense of humor.

She wrote about her foray into homebuilding in her book Someone Stole My Outhouse (2001). Her cabin was heated only by a wood stove, which provided plenty of material for her 2011 book Into the Heat: My Love Affair with Trees, Fire, Saws and Men. The year-round garden she cultivated at the cabin fed the book she wrote for High Country Gardens on Waterwise Garden Care. She became fascinated with sheep and wool and launched a magazine, The Woolly Times.“I always called her a renaissance frontier woman,” Kean said.

The publications Bellinger wrote for spoke to her diverse interests: American Hunter, New Mexico Magazine, Orion Nature Review and Ceramics Monthly were among more than a dozen magazines that carried her work.

When she was diagnosed with cancer, her posts explored the challenges of dealing with the health care system and the sudden, inexorable changes in her life. In one of her last posts, Bellinger noted she had few regrets. But she didn’t expect to succumb to cancer. “I always thought a tree would fall on me or I’d get eaten by a cougar,” she wrote.

Zenas ‘Slim’ Boone, 94, explosives expert, Aug. 13 Zenas “Slim” Boone came to Los Alamos as a GI in June 1945, just as the Manhattan Project was preparing to test the world’s first atomic bomb.

At the outbreak of World War II, at age 24, he joined the Army. At first, he worked for the U.S. Special Police, escorting troops to their assignments. Then he was assigned with 59 other soldiers to the Special Engineering District and was sent to the top-secret Manhattan Project in Los Alamos.

He had been recruited because of his previous experience with explosives. “I wasn’t afraid of working with those materials,” he said in A.J. Melnick’s book, They Changed the World: People of the Manhattan Project (Sunstone Press, 2006).

Man arrested on DWI charge blows 0.0 Early Tuesday morning, Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Joshua Martinez, 21, of Chimayó on charges of DWI, driving without a license, careless driving, driving without insurance and registration, as well as failure to appear and violating his probation.

Martinez was arrested at Española Hospital, where he was transported by Española police, and treated for minor injuries sustained when he crashed his car into a ditch on N.M. 76. At the hospital, Martinez failed field sobriety tests, but had a breath-alcohol content of 0.0, so his blood was drawn to test for other intoxicants.

According to Lt. William Pacheco, results on the blood test can take several months. Pacheco also said that it was unclear why Martinez was on probation.

IN MEMORIAM

Wednesday, January 1, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

Continued from Page B-1 New Mexico was a shock. “I couldn’t believe Santa Fe was the capital of the state,” he said in Melnick’s book. “We had county seats back East bigger than Santa Fe.” But Los Alamos seemed to grow on him. He recalled that to make some extra money, he would collect tickets at dances, and people attending often would slip him a sip of their liquor. “I think they felt sorry for me,” he said. “I had a pretty good time before the dance.”

When he was released from the Army in 1947, Boone joined the lab as a civilian explosives technician. After retiring in 1977, he was a Red Cross swimming instructor in Los Alamos for 17 years.

David Cargo, 84, former governor, July 5 David F. Cargo, governor of New Mexico from January 1967 through 1970, was a moderate Republican and often at odds with members of his own party.

He got his nickname, “Lonesome Dave,” from a sheepherder he met one day in 1966 along a muddy, rural road when he was touring the state in his 1959 Chevrolet. A newspaperman who was with Cargo wrote about the encounter, and the nickname stuck.

“He was so underestimated, so under-appreciated and so forward-thinking,” said Albuquerque City Councilor Janice Arnold-Jones, a former legislator who knew Cargo for more than 45 years.

He was elected to the state House of Representatives in 1962 and served two terms.

Dennis Domrzalski wrote that in the Legislature, Cargo “railed loudly and publicly against corruption in a state that seemed to think that corruption was perfectly normal. He introduced bills that demanded that state legislators actually report the bribes they had taken. He threatened to pave state roads with corrupt highway commissioners.”

Cargo was elected governor in 1966 and again in 1968, defeating Democrat Fabian Chavez, who also died in 2013.

Cargo created the state Human Rights Commission, started the first state film office and even appeared in a few movies himself, including a role as a reporter in the 1969 Robert Mitchum western The Good Guys and the Bad Guys.

His years as governor came during the political turmoil of the late 1960s. He was chief executive in June 1967 when land-grant activist Reies Lopez Tijerina and the Alianza Federal de Mercedes raided the Tierra Amarilla courthouse. He was governor in May 1970 when the National Guard was called to The University of New Mexico and soldiers began bayoneting student protesters, journalists and passers-by during a Vietnam War demonstration.

He ran for the Senate in 1970 and again in 1972, when his opponent was Pete Domenici, who won the general election.

Mary Lou Cook, 95, artist, minister, peace activist, Oct. 7 Interviewed on her 95th birthday at the Beehive retirement home, where she had been living for four years, Mary Lou Cook said, “My advice is to be kind, be kind, be kind. Everyone has a choice as to what their attention is going to be, and I chose peace, harmony and helping people.”

Born in an elevator at a Chicago hospital on April 29, 1918, Cook earned a degree in fine art from the University of Kansas in 1939. Her husband’s job meant the couple and their children moved often — El Paso; Tulsa, Okla.; Kansas City, Mo.; Milwaukee and Des Moines, Iowa.

She started doing volunteer work in El Paso and Kansas City, where she studied calligraphy. In Milwaukee, Cook helped to start an arts program for children. In Des Moines, she was a recruiter for the newly formed Peace Corps in 1962. In 1966, she was sent to Omaha, Neb., to organize a Peace Corps office there.

In 1969, after her husband retired, the family moved to Santa Fe, and Cook threw herself into creative pursuits. She began to teach a continuing education class at the College of Santa Fe in calligraphy and “pastecraft” — covering solid objects, like bottles, books or even trees, with decorative fabric.

Cook helped found the Dispensable Church with the late Hugh Prather (author of Notes to Myself) in the early 1980s, and a few years later became a minister and bishop in the Eternal Life Church, a network of independent ministers through which she married dozens of couples.

In 1984, she founded the Santa Fe Living Treasures program, modeled on Japanese traditions of honoring local elders each year, and lobbied unsuc-

Fame came quickly. In 1964 and ‘65, Garrett appeared four times on the nationally syndicated television musical-variety program, Shindig. That was followed by appearances on Your Hit Parade, Headliners with David Frost, The Jim Nabors Show, The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, The Joey Bishop Show, Playboy After Dark and 29 turns on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

In the 1970s, Garrett moved to New York to try her talents on Broadway. She won critical acclaim for her musical performances in Mother Earth (1972) and The Night That Made America Famous (1975), and she earned a Tony Award nomination for the latter.

Although she never made a feature film, Garrett sang an Oscar-nominated song, “Richard’s Window” from The Other Side of the Mountain, at the 1976 Academy Awards ceremony.

Dan Gerrity, 59, KSFR news director, Nov. 20 Theater artist and KSFR news director Dan Gerrity was a New Jersey native who worked as a writer, director and actor in theater on the East and West Coasts before settling in Santa Fe.

Among other Santa Fe credits, he appeared in the Santa Fe Stages production of Death and the Maiden in 2000, Ironweed Productions’ version of Our Town in 2012 and the Lensic Performing Arts Center’s The Laramie Project in 2010.

He also played roles in a number of television and film projects over the years, including Swing Vote and Wildfire (both films shot in New Mexico) and the television series Frasier.

berg, but before he earned his degree, he and a friend decided to embark on a trip across the Atlantic to the United States in a 30-foot sloop handcrafted by a Russian boat maker. He was 20.

Eleven months later, the tiny boat, after losing its mast, was adrift at sea when on July 4, 1949, it was spotted by someone aboard an ocean liner. The sloop’s occupants were rescued and taken to New York’s Ellis Island, his daughter said.When the story was written up in the The New York Times, he connected with a cousin in Sana Fe, who arranged for him to come here.

Upon his return to Santa Fe, de la Harpe put his geology background to use as a uranium prospector and flew a small plane all over the Southwest, accompanied by his standard poodle named Victor. When he was not in the air, his daughter said, de la Harpe drove an emerald-green Triumph TR3 convertible.

De la Harpe taught himself how to carve wood and became a furniture designer. He opened a gallery on Canyon Road, where his wife also showed her paintings, and the pair, who shared a passion for gardening, made the compound into one of the lushest gardens in town.

De la Harpe designed and made the original sign for Canyon Road.

town, and we were all friends.”

On Jan. 1, 1950, she rode on the first New Mexico float in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif. She took the train to Los Angeles, escorted by historian Fray Angélico Chávez, because her parents weren’t able to attend. “I had a real tight rein kept on me,” she recalled.

Growing up, Romero Jones knew Zozobra creator Will Shuster and artist Georgia O’Keeffe, the latter of whom routinely stopped in to order a limeade at the drug store where she worked as a soda jerk. After her marriage, she and her husband lived in California, Florida and Idaho.

Santeros, or saint makers, were overwhelmingly men when Romero Jones began, but soon she was accepted as a santera.

Her sister, Marie Romero Cash, said she was known for combining tin altar screens with painted and hand-carved figures.

Eric LaMalle, 50, restaurateur, April 16 Longtime restaurateur and outdoor sports enthusiast Eric LaMalle owned and operated Ristra on Agua Fría Street in downtown Santa Fe for 17 years.

LaMalle was born in SaintFlour, a city in the Auvergne region of south-central France, and raised in Brie Sur Marne, a suburb east of Paris. He trained as an alpine mountain guide and first came to the United States about 20 years ago to work as a ski instructor at Mammoth Mountain resort in California. LaMalle also lived in Arroyo Hondo and worked as an instructor at Taos Ski Valley before coming to Santa Fe. In addition to being a businessman, LaMalle was an accomplished sportsman who traveled to Alaska, Bali and Indonesia, among other places, to pursue interests in skiing, mountain biking, windsurfing and kite boarding.

Dimitri Mihalas, 74, astrophysicist, Nov. 21 Dimitri Mihalas was a Los Alamos National Laboratory astrophysicist, humble about his mind, who learned to live with depression and bipolar disorder.

Mihalas was hired as a staff scientist in the applied physics department in 1998 and retired from the lab in 2012, according to LANL. He earned degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles, and California Institute of Technology in astronomy, mathematics and physics and worked for three decades as an astronomy professor at the University of Chicago, the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

He was a pioneer in astrophysics, specializing in radiation transport, radiation hydrodynamics and astrophysical quantitative spectroscopy. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1981.

He co-authored seven scientific books, including Foundations of Radiation Hydrodynamics, a highly technical manual considered a bible on the subject among his peers.

Mihalas was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder when he was in his 40s, though he thought signs of the conditions dated to his childhood.

He wrote about his experiences in essays such as “Surviving Depression and Bipolar Disorder” and “A Primer on Depression and Bipolar Disorder” in 2002. Mihalas, a Quaker, also wrote about how his spirituality was strengthened during his struggles in his 1996 book Depression and Spiritual Growth.

Leonard A. Helman, 86, rabbi, June 6 The funeral of Leonard Helman, an attorney, judge, bridge master, tap-dancing champion and longtime member of Santa Fe’s religious community, was held at Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, an arrangement the rabbi had made years earlier with the cathedral’s former rector, the Rev. Monsignor Jerome Martinez y Alire.

Gail Rappaport, executive director of Congregation Beit Tikva, of which Helman was the founding rabbi, said this was a testament to Helman’s interfaith commitment that “he would just as soon have his Jewish soul honored in the cathedral as in our Jewish sanctuary.”

In a word, he said, “Terrible.”

“We’ve had a couple struggles there where, if I were able to put things together, I think we win a couple of those games,” Kirk said.

“But that’s what it is and we’ve moved on.”

PHILADELPHIA — If Kyle Orton threw for 358 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles, Drew Brees could set a record.

The Eagles (10-6) are facing quite a challenge against Brees and the New Orleans Saints (11-5) in their NFC wild-card playoff game Saturday night. No team allowed more yards passing than Philadelphia this season and only four quarterbacks in NFL history have thrown for more yards than Brees.

It sets up for an air show.

“Drew Brees has excellent numbers, blitz, no blitz, coverage, noncoverage,” Eagles defensive coordinator Billy Davis said Tuesday. “This offense is so efficient, and it is run on Drew Brees and his decision-making

Will 2014 live up to all its promises?

T

oday marks the start of a new year, and with that comes everybody’s favorite new year activity: New Year’s resolutions.

It’s that time of year where everyone tells themselves that the new year is going to be better and they will become a better person. The time of year where people say “2013 was good, but 2014 will be better,” or, “2013 was terrible, but 2014 will be awesome.”

Resolutions are made with good intentions, but Edmundo oftentimes they Carrillo just become holCommentary low words.

Much like those people who crowd the gyms in early January, those New Year’s resolutions will slowly fade into oblivion.

What was once an effort to be a “new you” quickly becomes a broken promise.

I am guilty of such broken promises. Many years ago, I made a resolution that I would get good at guitar, yet I still have trouble fingering through the intro of Stairway to Heaven, which apparently is a mustknow for would-be axe thrashers.

Although we may forget about these broken promises throughout the year, we remember them once the New Year comes around again, and we quickly become disappointed that we couldn’t keep them.

So what other disappointments and broken promises will 2014 bring?

Far fewer fans will show up to Arroyo Seco on horses and buggies this time, and the game probably won’t be called early because of a blowout.

The Spartans and Cardinal still believe they’ll put on a display of throwback football for the Grand-

daddy of Them All’s centennial celebration.

“There is a special quality to it,” said David Yankey, Stanford’s AllAmerican left guard. “The Rose Bowl will still go on, but it’s kind of an end of an era in some sense, and we’re excited to be part of that.”

Both the Rose Bowl game and the

stadium have evolved since that initial outing was eventually followed by the institution of an annual New Year’s Day game in 1916. The 100th game falls during the final season of the Bowl Championship Series, and the stadium also will host the last BCS title game on Monday.

Both Stanford and Michigan State fell just shy of contending for that title shot, but it’s tough to find any disappointed players on either team during the usual week of Southern California festivities for the Rose Bowl teams.

Hundley, UCLA rout Virginia Tech in Sun Bowl

By John Erfort The Associated Press

EL PASO — Brett Hundley threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores to help No. 17 17 UCLA 42 UCLA rout Va. Tech 12 Virginia Tech 42-12 on Tuesday in the Sun Bowl.

The Bruins (10-3) outscored the Hokies (8-5) 28-5 in the second half.

Hundley had an 86-yard touchdown run and finished with 161 yards on 10 carries, and completed 16 of 29 passes for 226 yards. He was selected the co-MVP along with linebacker Jordan Zumwalt, who had 10 tackles and an interception.

After Virginia Tech cut it to

14-10 on Michael Branthover’s 22-yard field goal with 3:53 left in the third quarter, UCLA answered with a 12-play, 85-yard drive, capped by Paul Perkins’s 5-yard run early in the fourth.

Hokies backup quarterback Mark Leal then threw a pass under heavy pressure that linebacker Myles Jack intercepted and returned 29 yards for a touchdown that made it 28-10.

Virginia Tech, which lost starting quarterback Logan Thomas to an injury in the second quarter, got its final points when UCLA punter Sean Covington stepped on the end line for a safety with 9:38 left.

UCLA pushed it to 35-12 on Hundley’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Thomas Duarte with 7:31 to play. The Bruins stayed

aggressive late, and Hundley fired a 59-yard scoring strike down the right sideline to Shaquelle Evans for another score with 5:49 remaining.

UCLA led 14-7 after the first half. Hundley had six carries for 168 yards in the half. He set the Sun Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback by halftime.

Worse for Virginia Tech, which entered the game ranked No. 4 in the nation in total defense, was that the Bruins rushed for 202 yards in the first half. That already was the most rushing yards the Hokies had given up in a game this season.

UCLA finished with 250 yards.

Hogan had another quietly solid season. Stanford’s defense is no joke against the run, allowing the nation’s fourth-fewest yards per carry, but Michigan State is No. 1.

Langford’s turn: While Gaffney gets plenty of attention, Michigan State tailback Jeremy Langford racked up a schoolrecord eight 100-yard games among his 1,338 yards rushing.

Langford is confident his Spartans will thrive in adversity. “I actually wanted it to be a hard route to get to the Rose Bowl,” he said. “Every game was a

team trying to stop us from our dream.”

Fan frenzy: Magic Johnson isn’t the only Michigan State fan in Hollywood these days.

After a 26-year Rose Bowl absence, the Spartans faithful should cover the stadium in green, with athletic director Mark Hollis expecting more than 50,000 fans. While Stanford’s alumni base is smaller with more recent BCS success, the Cardinal represented well last year. “They were coming out of the woodwork,” Gaffney remembered.

first team selections was onesided.

Williams, who won the Doak Walker Award over Carey, was held to 75 yards rushing and a touchdown. Boston College (7-6) didn’t score a touchdown until Williams’ 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter.

Arizona’s Nate Phillips caught nine passes for 193 yards while Trey Griffey caught two touchdown passes.

LIBERTY BOWL MISSISSIPPI STATE 44, RICE 7 In Memphis, Tenn., Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores, and Mississippi State trounced Rice in the most one-sided Liberty Bowl victory in the game’s 55-year history.

Mississippi State (7-6) wrapped up its fourth straight winning season and prevented Rice (10-4) from winning bowl

games in back-to-back years for the first time. By accounting for five touchdowns, Prescott set a Liberty Bowl record.

After falling behind 7-0, the Bulldogs scored touchdowns on four consecutive possessions.

Mississippi State’s Jameon Lewis caught nine passes for 220 yards to break the Liberty Bowl receiving record held by Houston’s Vincent Marshall, who had 201 yards in a 44-36 loss to South Carolina in 2006.

Brees: Saints QB selected for 8th Pro Bowl and quick release, and he really makes you defend the field both horizontally and vertically because all five of his eligible receivers are up and active.”

Orton, filling in for an injured Tony Romo, nearly led the Cowboys to an upset over the Eagles with the NFC East title on the line Sunday night in Dallas. But his 46th pass of the game was intercepted by Brandon Boykin to seal Philadelphia’s 24-22 victory.

Still, it was an impressive performance for a guy starting his first game in two years.

On the other hand, Brees was just selected for his eighth Pro Bowl and threw for more than 5,000 yards for an NFL-record fourth time. He makes it difficult for top defenses, so the Eagles are going to need play their best to have a chance.

“He’s just so talented and has such a great command of what

uted to his decision to return to football for his senior year, which has featured 1,618 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns.

“As a West Coast team, this is the big daddy,” Gaffney said.

SCOREBOARD

Continued from Page B-5 fourth consecutive BCS bowl game after winning the Pac-12, while the Spartans (12-1) blew through their Big Ten schedule and won their final nine games to earn the long-suffering school’s first trip to Pasadena since 1988.

“I would say this is the biggest game in our program’s history,” Michigan State safety Kurtis Drummond said. “Definitely the biggest game in our lives.

For us to go down in history as potentially one of the best teams, it’s definitely a challenge that we’re all ready to take on.”

Last year, the Cardinal ended a 40-year Rose Bowl victory drought by holding off Wisconsin in a defense-dominated game. Stanford expects much the same challenge from Michigan State, since both schools have run-first offenses and the patience to grind out wins the old-fashioned way.

Five reasons to watch the Rose Bowl’s odometer flip to triple digits: Missing middle: Michigan State must play without Max Bullough, the starting middle linebacker and the signal-caller for the Spartans’ dominant defense. Kyler Elsworth has mostly taken on the role, but the Spartans will miss their leader. “I’ve been next to Max for three years,” linebacker Denicos Allen said. “For the last game of our season or career here, him not being there is a different experience.”

Gaffney’s chance: Stanford tailback Tyler Gaffney took last season off to play pro baseball, but traveled to Pasadena anyway. The experience contrib-

they’re doing,” coach Chip Kelly said. “He understands coverage and he understands how you’re playing them and he’s very, very difficult to fool.

He’s been around for a long time. It’s a lot like the matchup when you’re playing Peyton Manning. They are so skilled in their offense and what they’re doing. You’ve got to present a lot of different looks to him and he’s got a lot of weapons to throw to, and I think that’s what makes them so diverse is you just can’t hone in and say, ‘Hey, we take away this one guy, we are going to be in pretty good shape.’ ” Putting pressure on Brees will be vital to Philadelphia’s success. Brees was sacked a career-high 37 times this season, but he has a quick release and makes fast decisions so it’s tough to bring him down.

The Eagles had 37 sacks this season, but didn’t get to Orton once because he got rid of the

ball quickly. Defensive linemen are stressing the importance of trying to knock down Brees’ passes if they don’t get to him.

“He’s a great quarterback, a Hall of Fame quarterback, but he’s shorter than most guys so we have to get our hands up,” defensive end Cedric Thornton said. “We have our hands full. We definitely are going to try to pass rush inside more because he stays in the pocket.”

Brees, who is 6-feet tall, has a way of getting the ball over taller linemen and perfectly on target to his receivers. Teams that beat the Saints did a better job getting in his face. Brees was sacked 14 times in five losses, and 23 times in the 11 wins.

He had only seven TD passes and seven interceptions along with a completion percentage of 61.8 and a passer rating of 77.6 in those losses. His numbers in the wins were 32 TDs, five picks, 72.2 completion percentage and

a passer rating of 119.

“I think the key is to change up the type of coverage and it’s more about the quarterback than the actual coverage and what he’s looking at and what he sees and how quick he can read it,” Davis said. “He’s seen every coverage and he’s seen all kinds of different tactics, and then so has Sean [Payton] and they have got adjustments to everything. I think constantly kind of shifting it on them is the best way to go about it.”

NOTES u Rookie safety Earl Wolff is optimistic he’ll play vs. the Saints. Wolff missed four games with a knee injury, returned to play briefly against Chicago and then sat out last week. The Eagles will need Wolff against the Saints’ prolific passing attack. u Brees is 1-2 in wild-card games, but he has a passer rating of 107.9 in those games.

2014: Perhaps U.S. will win World Cup Continued from Page B-5 to be careless with the football, ride the bench and have another tumultuous relationship with another head coach?

Will Tony Romo lead the Cowboys to the playoffs with a December push, or will the Cowboys continue to fall short of the playoffs in the final month of the season?

Will LeBron James make good on his promise and continue on his way to seven championships with the Miami Heat, or will the Chosen One do to Miami what he did to Cleveland?

Will 2014 be the year that the United States men’s soccer team wins a World Cup, or will America continue to fall short of the rest of the world in a sport that is rarely cared about in this country until the World Cup comes around — where all of a sudden everyone is a soccer fan?

Will this be the year where we can figure out

how to really address the concussion issue in football, or will we finally accept that football is dangerous?

The answers to all these questions will reveal themselves in the coming year, but one thing is for certain: The sports world will continue to bring disappointment.

Much like those resolutions, athletes and teams have a lot of potential, but sometimes they don’t pan out. There will be a coach that was supposed to lead a team to a championship, the team that was supposed to win it all, and the player that was supposed to be a godsend.

But regardless of what disappoints us in the sports world in the coming year, here’s hoping that 2014 is better than 2013 in every way.

Warriors beat Magic for 6th straight win The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — David Lee had 22 points and Klay Thompson added 15 in the Golden State Warriors’ 94-81 victory over the Orlando Magic 94-81 on Tuesday night.

Warriors 94 Kent Bazemore scored 12 points, and Marreese Magic 81 Speights had 10 to help the Warriors win their sixth straight game. Stephen Curry had nine points, eight assists and five rebounds, but he and the rest of the Warriors’ starters sat out the entire fourth quarter.

Arron Afflalo led Orlando with 15 points.

Jameer Nelson had 11 points and six assists, and Glen Davis added 10 points.

The Warriors used a 16-2 run in the middle of the first quarter to take a 22-10 lead and never let the advantage get under 10 the rest of the game.

Sparked by Nelson’s two 3-pointers, the Magic pulled to 74-59 at the end of the third quarter. Harris’ layup to start the fourth quarter made it a 13-point game, but that was as close as Orlando could come.

PACERS 91, CAVALIERS 76 In Indianapolis, Paul George scored 21 points, Roy Hibbert added 19, and the Indiana Pacers used a dominant fourth quarter to blow out the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Pacers (25-5) have won eight in a row over Cleveland, their longest active streak against any opponent. They limited the Cavs to 3-of-16 shooting and forced seven turnovers in the final period to turn a close game into yet another victory.

Cleveland (10-21) dropped its sixth straight despite getting 14 points and 11 rebounds from Anderson Varejao. Point guard Kyrie Irving was limited to 10 points, five rebounds and five assists. The Cavs shot 36.2 percent from the field and committed 15 turnovers.

HAWKS 92, CELTICS 91 In Boston, Paul Millsap had season highs with 34 points and 15 rebounds and the Atlanta Hawks rallied for a win over the Boston Celtics.

Jeff Teague added 16 points for Atlanta, including a pair of free that put Atlanta up 92-91 with 1:30 left in the fourth quarter.

Boston two shots to win after Shelvin Mack missed a layup in the final minute, but could not convert. Jordan Crawford missed with about eight seconds remaining and Boston ended up with the rebound and called time out. Crawford tried again at the buzzer but his shot bounced off the backboard and the Hawks won a game they had trailed by as much as 18 in the first half.

The Kings trailed by three points before Cousins scored four quick points to make it 105-104. He then stole the ball from James Harden and passed to Ben McLemore for an easy layup.

On the next play, Cousin took a charge from Harden to give the Kings the ball back.

At El Parasol, menudo costs $6.50 per pint as a soup or $7 per pint served straight. ‘We sell a lot of it all the time, but Sundays it’s very popular. … It’s not just for hangovers,’ owner Pedro Atencio says. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

After ringing in the New Year, many in New Mexico dive into bowls of menudo to cure hangover pain

Morning-after meal

By Tantri Wija For The New Mexican

H

appy New Year! Last night, you probably put on your party clothes, donned your sparkly tiara, ate about a thousand little melba toasts with salmon on them, and discussed your resolutions to work out more and take your vitamins in the coming year. Several glasses of bubbly later, you felt like you were flying.

Today, you feel like you flew into a cliff.

There’s nothing like starting a new year with the sensation that your head is exploding with fireworks, but if you want to do something with your first day of 2014 other than lying around and reporting to Facebook how many cocktails you had last night, you might want to seek out some sort of folk remedy for your condition. Facebook can help with that, too.

The classic hangover cure is the “hair of the dog,” which simply involves more drinking. Bloody marys are good for this, as are New Year’s mimosas or simply a shot of whiskey with your pancakes when you wake up. Some insist that a big greasy breakfast will do the trick — if you can keep it down. Failing that, you can try milkshakes, sports drinks or whatever strange green goo your yogi friend whipped up in the blender.

And if you live here in New Mexico, some kind soul may offer you some menudo, a usually spicy stew made of chile, posole and beef tripe that many swear by as a cure for post-Champagne pain.

The magic ingredient itself, beef tripe, is organ meat from the stomach lining of cows. Raw, it is off-white, spongy and structured like a honeycomb and is about as visually appealing as it sounds. Cooked, it has a texture that manages to be chewy, gooey and a bit stringy all at the same time, reminding you with every bite exactly what it is you’re eating.

Many people swear by it.

For authentic New Mexican menudo, hordes of locals stumble their way down to El Parasol, a family-owned franchise with several locations across Northern New Mexico. Besides burritos, tacos, chilaquiles and posole, El Parasol serves up some of the most authentic (and perhaps effective) New Mexican menudo in the state, quart after steaming quart.

“They’re all my mother’s recipes,” said Pedro Atencio, one of the owners, who has been involved with the family business since he was 10 years old. “Everything at El Parasol is, and originates in Española.” All the El Parasol locations use the same recipes.

It’s difficult to get two people to agree on the effectiveness of any given hangover cure, but everyone has a theory about why their chosen method works, and that includes menudo. Some claim it’s the fat; some say it’s the vitamins; others insist it’s actually the chile that does the trick. Atencio ascribes the magic to a combination of factors.

“To begin with, you have to buy the highest-quality menudo available. If you get the slimy stuff, it’s not as

effective. We buy our own through vendors, and cut up our own menudo and make sure it’s trimmed properly, and you get a good product.” According to him, “As far as the curative properties for hangover, the honeycomb portion of the menudo acts like a sponge and draws out the alcohol. It also has some vitamin B in it.”

Besides the ingredients, “The secret to cooking it is part of the art,” Atencio said. “And it really is an art — you want to have a method of extracting any excess fat, which people don’t like in their broth.”

Some people even like their beef tripe unadorned. “We serve it for those that are more diehards, straight,” Atencio said, laughing, “just the menudo [tripe] with a side of lemon and oregano and some broth. But most people order it with the posole and pork. It’s about half pork and half tripe with red chile. Red chile adds a lot of flavor and is rich in vitamin C. It’s the combination of all the ingredients that we use that makes it stand out.”

El Paragua, one of the chain’s Española locations, was recently named a state culinary treasure by the New Mexico Department of Tourism, and a recent episode of Bizarre Foods America on the Travel Channel featured El Parasol’s menudo. It costs $6.50 per pint as a stew or $7 per pint served straight. “We sell a lot of it all the time,” Atencio said,“but Sundays it’s very popular.” He insists “it’s not just for hangovers — if you’ve got a cold or feel run-down, it’s a Mexican-style energy drink.”

As far as the curative properties for hangover, the honeycomb portion of the menudo acts like a “ sponge and draws out the alcohol. It also has some vitamin B in it.”

Puff pastry adds ease to party appetizers

Bolognese made simple

By J.M. Hirsch The Associated Press

There is a time and place for jarred pasta sauces. Wednesday nights, for example.

Those nights when one kid needs to be at karate, another at band practice, and the spouse has a late meeting. Those are the nights for jarred pasta sauce. For all other nights — nights when you can spare 30 minutes to whip together something better — leave the jar in the cabinet.

Because the difference between a jarred sauce and a homemade Bolognese will make you wish you could carve out those 30 minutes more often. Plus, a pot of bubbling sauce on a cold winter night is a fine way to begin an evening at home with the family. So sit the kids at the counter to do their homework, then start cooking.

This Bolognese is mostly effortless.

You can make it even more so by using

the food processor to chop your vegetables. Just toss them all in at once, then pulse until finely chopped. As for the meat, pork is delicious, but feel free to substitute beef, veal or turkey.

FIVE-SPICE PORK BOLOGNESE PASTA Total time: 25 minutes, makes four servings 12 ounces pasta 1 pound lean ground pork 1 large yellow onion, diced 1 celery stalk, finely chopped 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon five-spice powder 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese Salt and ground black pepper Chopped fresh basil Preparation: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions.

Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium-high. Add the pork and sauté for 2 minutes, or until fat begins to render from the meat. Add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic. Sauté until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the five-spice powder and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in a bit of basil. Add the pasta, tossing to coat well. Serve topped with additional basil.

If you have no time to whip up an appetizer from scratch, consider gussying up some store-bought ingredients, like puff pastry.

Buttery sheets of puff pastry are perfect for making many appetizers. You can cut the pastry sheets into different shapes and press them into baking cups. This recipe uses one sheet of puff pastry to make super-easy palmiers filled with salty prosciutto and Parmesan cheese.

PUFF PASTRY PALMIERS Total time: 25 minutes, makes about 24 appetizers

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed 2 tablespoons honey mustard 6 thin slices prosciutto 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grate Preparation: Unfold the puff pastry sheet, pressing out the seams. Spread with honey mustard to ¼ inch from the edges. Place prosciutto slices on top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Roll up tightly into a log and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the log and slice into ¼-inch pieces.

Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with more Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and puffed.

New year brings new adventures for families

By Lynn O’Rourke Hayes The Dallas Morning News

Where will you venture in 2014? Here are five destinations to consider as your family plans for the year ahead.

Alaska. Still America’s last frontier, our 49th state offers year-round adventure for families. Scope for whale tails while cruising the Inside Passage.

Celebrate 100 years of sled-dog racing on the Iditarod Trail. Or explore the far reaches of Denali National Park. Learn about Alaska’s native culture, hike and bike in the backcountry or make wildlife watching the centerpiece of your adventure. Anglers can wade the state’s rivers and streams and return home with amazing fishing stories and pictures to prove it. A free vacation planner is available to help get you started.

Contact: travelalaska.com.

Cruise the Caribbean. Galveston, which is rated fourth in the country in cruise traffic, offers seafaring travelers expanded opportunities.

Four cruise companies — Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Disney and Princess — offer itineraries ranging from four to eight nights on ships bustling with activity and entertainment. Cruise companies provide a smorgasbord of kid-thrilling options such as wave machines, superslides, teen lounges and zip lines. Deals abound, particularly for those with flexible dates.

Contact: galveston.com.

Costa Rica. More than a quarter of this Central American country is composed of natural and conserved territory, making it an extraordinary destination for nature lovers. Surfers give the richly diverse nation top marks, as do adventurers who visit for river rafting, hiking, biking, canopy tours and volcano watching. Families can take advantage of wildlife or culturally focused volunteer vacations, clan-friendly resorts and beachside boutique accommodations.

Contact: visitcostarica.com.

African safaris. Multigenerational families celebrating a milestone are among those who seek the excitement and adventure found on safari.

More tour operators, eager to capture this growing segment of the market, are creating itineraries that cater to both ends of the age spectrum. The chance to observe a lion stalking his prey, to see a wildebeest migration or to learn the customs of the Maasai people are experiences more families are putting at the top of their lists.

TLANTA — Many people who visit Atlanta for the hundreds of conventions the city hosts each year never make it out of the few blocks around their hotels. But the city has much more to offer, and some attractions are even free.

Atlanta is a diverse, cosmopolitan city that is home to major corporations’ headquarters, world-class cultural institutions and restaurants helmed by award-winning chefs. It has a rich cultural and political history, plus parks and trails to keep outdoor enthusiasts busy during the many months of the year when Atlanta’s latitude makes it pleasant to be outside. Here are five free things to do and see on your next trip to Atlanta.

Martin Luther King Jr. historic site The historic site is operated by the National Park Service. A film and an exhibition of photos, text and video clips in the visitor’s center give a comprehensive overview of the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr.’s leadership role. Up the street is the home where King was born.

Tours of the birth home are free but must be reserved in person the day of the tour at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. The crypts of King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, sit in the middle of a reflecting pool outside The King Center.

A few steps away, visitors can walk through Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King and his father served as pastors.

Piedmont Park A couple walk along the Atlanta BeltLine in 2012.

Sweet Auburn Curb Market Nearby lies the Sweet Auburn Historic District, which was a major economic, cultural and political center for AfricanAmerican life for the first half of the 20th century, before a major highway bisected the neighborhood and decades of urban decline followed. Originally known as the Municipal Market, the Sweet Auburn Curb Market is now an urban farmers market that provides a lively atmosphere for browsing and grabbing lunch. Stalls run by butchers feature pigs’ ears and feet, oxtails and many other animal parts and cuts of meat stacked neatly in trays behind glass. Produce vendors offer heaping stacks of collard greens, turnips and other seasonal produce.

Prepared food stands offer a wide variety of lunch options, but it’s fun to browse whether or not you buy.

Sitting at one end of the BeltLine’s completed Eastside Trail is Piedmont Park. Like New York’s Central Park, the nearly 200-acre green space in Midtown gives Atlanta residents and visitors a tranquil setting to picnic, play games, walk their dogs and relax in the meadow or along the shores of Lake Clara Meer.

The park also hosts major city events, like the Dogwood Festival in April and the Music Midtown festival in September, and the finish line of the annual 10-kilometer Fourth of July Peachtree Road Race.

Oakland Cemetery The graves of dozens of Atlanta mayors and six Georgia governors, as well as the rich and poor of different races and religions dot the gentle hills of Oakland Cemetery. Some of the most famous residents are Gone With the Wind author Margaret Mitchell and golf legend Bobby Jones, as well as rows and rows of Confederate soldiers. Despite the surrounding busy streets and the clanking and beeping from the adjacent freight rail terminal, the 48-acre cemetery feels calm and peaceful. Self-guided tours are free whenever the cemetery is open.

Airline delays decline, but there’s a catch Los Angeles Times

Airline delays and cancellations have dropped significantly in the last few years. At least that’s what federal statistics show. But the numbers may not be telling us the whole story.

That is one of the conclusions in a new report by the office of inspector general for the U.S. Department of Transportation, which recommends new ways of calculating airline delays.

The Department of Transportation’s data show that airline delays fell 33 percent from 2000 to 2012, while flight cancellations dropped 56 percent at the nation’s largest airports.

The problem with the numbers, according to the inspector general, is that the Department of Transportation looks at flight data only from the 16 largest airlines. Those airlines account for about 76 percent of domestic flights. The other 24 percent are not calculated in the federal analysis.

The nation’s “published flight delay data present the public with an incomplete picture of the number of delays that actually occur at a given airport or are generated by all carriers,” the report said.

Another reason the numbers don’t give an exact picture, the report says, is that most major airlines have increased their scheduled gate-to-gate time for nearly every flight, giving themselves a cushion to absorb delays.

In 2000, the time that airlines scheduled for a flight exceeded the actual flight time on 73 percent of routes analyzed by the office of inspector general. By 2012, this rate had grown to 98 percent of all routes. One example cited by the study was a LaGuardia-to-Indianapolis route — typically a 2½-hour flight. From 2000 to 2012, airlines have increased the scheduled flight time by 21 minutes, the report found.

Airlines say that they don’t inflate the scheduled flight time to avoid delays but try to be realistic about the time each flight needs.

“Airline scheduling is based on the realities of the air travel system, taking into account conditions such as airspace and ground congestion or weather that can impact gate-to-gate time,” said Vaughn Jennings, a spokesman for Airlines for America, the trade group for the nation’s airlines.

Horoscope

Crossword

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014: This year you eye a new beginning. You will tend to be overserious, and you sometimes might take a joke or a fun comment the wrong way. A fellow Capricorn might be more challenging than you think.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH The New Moon christens the New Year.

This specific New Moon carries responsibilities and a serious tone with it. This event is merely a passage. Tonight: Get some much-needed rest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might not appreciate the insight you gain, yet you still know how to look at the big picture. Tonight: Don’t back away from an important question.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Make it your pleasure to share your resolutions with a loved one. A change of plans could take some pressure off you.

Tonight: Be with your favorite person.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH The New Moon affects you more than it affects any other sign. Partners, friends and loved ones could feel a bit out of sync.

Tonight: You are the party.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You could be playing it unusually lowkey, perhaps because your mind is on taking care of another person. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Today’s New Moon might affect your mood toward a loved one, or if you’re single, it could ignite a new romance.

Tonight: Let the romantic within come out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be more irritable than you have been in a while. Whatever symbolism this particular day holds for you might need evaluation. Tonight: Don’t be surprised at others’ distancing.

Be more patient, kind and tolerant Dear Readers: Welcome to 2014!

We wish each of you health and happiness. We hope this year is better than the last and not as good as the next. Do your best to make this year special. Be kinder. Be more patient.

Be more tolerant. Help someone in need. Vow to look after your health, work out more, eat less junk, give up smoking. Turn over that elusive new leaf. Put more effort into your relationships, and tell the people you love how much they mean to you.

You don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Let’s start this year off right.

Dear Annie: We always have been encouraged to support our local businesses. However, there seems to be a common trend now where the clerks often ask for a donation to a local charity at the end of every transaction. I have been solicited at the grocery store, the pet store, the movies, at fast-food restaurants and even the bank.

A simple “no, thank you” isn’t enough. I’m reminded that it’s a worthy cause and made to feel guilty.

Annie, I am on a limited income and already have determined which charities will get whatever extra money I have to contribute. From now on, I am going to shop only at those places that appreciate my business and say “thank you” without expecting a charitable donation on top of it. — Tapped Out Dear Tapped: We understand how annoying this can be, but charities are hurting, and this is a relatively harmless way of reminding people to donate when they can.

Of course, it would be better if the business establishments didn’t make the patrons feel that they are being hounded. Asking once is sufficient, and “no, thank you” should be an acceptable response. Perhaps you could speak to someone in management about it. Surely you aren’t the only one who dislikes this practice.

Dear Annie: I think you were sleeping at the switch when you

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You will sense that a partner or loved one is off or depressed. You might choose to express your sensitive side when interacting with this person. Tonight: Take some personal time for yourself.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, Jan. 1, the first day of 2014. There are 364 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that slaves in rebel states shall be “forever free.”

Hocus Focus

replied to “Frustrated,” the president of a local women’s organization. She said she had tried every possible gambit to get one of the members to stop monopolizing the meetings.

Does this organization have a knowledgeable parliamentarian?

Most organizations use Robert’s Rules of Order as their parliamentary authority, and the bylaws should say so. There is enough information in Robert’s to cover the subject of disciplinary procedures, which, among other things, include offenses occurring in a meeting, breaches of order by members in a meeting, calling a member to order, naming an offender and more.

The president should confer with the parliamentarian. If there isn’t one, perhaps they should consider hiring one. They should at least have the recommended edition of Robert’s on hand and learn the rules. I hope this helps. — Parliamentarian Dear Parliamentarian: We hope so, although we also know that not every organization sticks to the rules.

And even when they do, it can be more difficult to discipline a member than strict adherence to the rules may indicate.

Dear Annie: I read in your column about so many dysfunctional relationships, adult children not speaking to each other, siblings fighting, grandparents ignored or not able to see grandchildren, and many other stories.

I am so blessed and grateful for the family I have. We take care of each other, and someone is always there when we need help. I am sure I don’t tell my family often enough that I love them and appreciate them. If more families would do this, many problems would be avoided or even eliminated.

This is the season for peace and love, and it starts with me and one person at a time. — Grateful Grannie in Casper, Wy.
