Roswell attack carefully planned Suspect, whom classmates called affable and bright, warned of impending violence

By John M. Glionna Los Angeles Times

ROSWELL — He had apparently left little to chance. Just 12 years old, he had his weapon: a .20-gauge shotgun with the wooden handle shaved down to fit inside a duffel bag.

A bright but sometimes distant

boy who played snare drum in the school band, he had a plan in the works, interviews with his classmates at Roswell’s Berrendo Middle School suggest.

In the days before the shooting inside a packed school gymnasium that gravely wounded Nathaniel Tavarez, 12, and

injured Kendal Sanders, 13, he had warned friends not to come to the gym that morning.

On Sunday, friends say, he sent a message on social media, anticipating the violence to come: “Tomorrow will be the first Monday that will be fun for me lol never thot I’d say that.”

But a plumbing problem closed the school and delayed his plans.

On Tuesday morning, before classes had even begun, he alleg-

edly spirited the gun into a gym, which by then was crowded with 500 students. Everything was set.

“A kid saw him pull out the gun, but he warned him to be quiet or he’d shoot him, too,” said a 14-year-old classmate who has known the suspect for years and recalled how they often spent time together at the boy’s house playing video games.

“He had access to guns,” said

Poll reveals voters have little faith in N.M. politics Prefiled measures address issues of lobbyists, campaign financing

High-speed chase ended in death of 39-year-old Jeanette Anaya in November

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

grand jury found that a state police officer was justified when he shot and killed a 39-year-old Santa Fe woman in November, First Judicial District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco said Wednesday.

50 minutes, the grand jury decided that Officer Oliver Wilson’s life was in danger and that he had the right to shoot Anaya.

That conclusion was based on crash reconstruction and testimony from passenger Jeremy Muñoz and Wilson.

Pacheco said the officer testified that he feared for his life and that he was “terrorized,”

by Anaya’s actions.

Officers reported that Anaya drove erratically through Santa Fe neighborhoods at speeds

Health exchange enrollments surge State rethinks goals after flawed launch of federal website

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

After a modest response to its rollout, participation in the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange boomed in December.

But the clunky launch of the federal health care website has forced New Mexico to dial back its enrollment expectations for 2014.

As of Dec. 28, 7,688 New Mexicans had enrolled in plans through

the portal, up from 934 enrollments at the end of November. A total of 33,258 New Mexicans completed applications for health care through the exchange by Dec. 28 — with some two-thirds of them, 21,422, in December.

The state exchange began an aggressive public outreach campaign in December, and the federal healthcare.gov website that stumbled out of the gate became more functional.

“We are very encouraged by the clear surge in individual enrollments,” said Mike Nuñez, interim CEO of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange. He said the exchange aims to carry

Among New Mexicans who enrolled in health care plans through the exchange, 55 percent are women and 45 percent are men, and 74 percent qualified for premium-assistance subsidies based on household income.

THE NEW MEXICAN Thursday, January 16, 2014

NATION&WORLD CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The company whose spill contaminated the water supply for 300,000 West Virginians has been cited for violations at a second facility where it’s storing chemicals.

Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Tom Aluise says inspectors found five violations Monday at a Nitro site where Freedom Industries moved its coal-cleaning chemicals after Thursday’s spill.

Inspectors found that, like the Charleston facility where the leak originated, the Nitro site lacked appropriate secondary containment. In Charleston, a porous containment wall allowed the chemical to ooze into the Elk River.

Aluise said Wednesday that the state might force Freedom to relocate the material again.

The Nitro facility isn’t near a river or water supply.

Other violations include failing to follow stormwater and groundwater guidelines, not filing monitoring reports and not properly storing drums with potential contaminants.

J.C. Penney to close 33 stores, cut 2,000 jobs NEW YORK — Struggling departmentstore operator J.C. Penney announced it will cut 2,000 jobs and close 33 stores as it tries to get back on the path to profitability.

J.C. Penney Co., based in Plano, Texas, said earlier this month said it was pleased with its holiday results but declined to give sales figures, raising worries among Wall Street analysts about how the season actually fared.

The cuts announced Wednesday should save more than $65 million annually. The company will take $26 million in pretax charges in the third quarter and $17 million in future quarters.

Penney has 116,000 staffers and operates more than 1,100 stores. All the job cuts are related to the store closings.

Jilted French first lady gets little sympathy PARIS — France’s president is reported to be sneaking around on a motorcycle to have a secret affair with an actress. Who takes the brunt of the heat? In a very French twist, it’s increasingly looking like his jilted first lady, who has been hospitalized since she found out.

The question on many French lips this week is not, “How could Francois Hollande have done such a thing?” but rather, “Do we really need a first lady?”

That’s in part a reflection of a French willingness to forgive infidelity by men in public office, regardless of the damage it causes to their women.

And it’s in part because the French have never fully embraced Valerie Trierweiler, a journalist who has been living with Hollande since he split with the mother of his four children in 2007.

Seen as cold and distant, Trierweiler has followed Hollande on international visits and played the role of first lady, but unlike her predecessor Carla Bruni has failed to capture the hearts of the French public.

Trierweiler and Hollande are not married, and his reported affair is shining a new spotlight on the nearly $27,000 in taxpayer money spent each month on the first lady’s staff and office in the presidential palace.

At a major news conference Tuesday,

‘MIRACLE ON THE HUDSON’ MARKS 5 YEARS The pilots and some passengers on a plane that made an extraordinary landing on the Hudson River marked its fifth anniversary Wednesday. ‘I’m filled with joy and gratitude about what was able to be accomplished by so many five years ago today and the fact that all 155 passengers and crew are here today because of it,’ said Capt. Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger III, left, who gained instant fame for his calm handling of US Airways flight 1549. The flight had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport when a flock of geese disabled the engines. Sullenberger safely glided to a water landing, and all 155 passengers and crew members were rescued in what became known as the ‘miracle on the Hudson.’

Sullenberger and about a half-dozen passengers gathered at the NY Waterway ferry terminal to thank the ferry boat company, whose boats quickly rescued people. They then boarded a boat and sailed out to the area of the landing, where they raised a toast. PHOTOS BY BEBETO MATTHEWS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hollande confidently brushed off questions about an affair by saying it’s private — and the French news media and public have so far seemed happy to leave it at that. Commentators on Wednesday praised his unusually statesmanlike demeanor and pontificated on the pro-business twist on his economic policy. Meanwhile, the affair all but disappeared from newscasts.

$18M settlement set for RNC arrests in NYC NEW YORK — Lawyers say New York City has agreed to pay $18 million to settle dozens of lawsuits filed by protesters and others who say they were wrongly arrested at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

The terms of the settlement were announced Wednesday. It still must be approved by a federal judge.

More than 1,800 people were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct or parading without a permit. Hundreds sued, saying they were illegally arrested by an overzealous police department.

The city had defended the NYPD, saying 800,000 people demonstrated during the convention and only a small fraction of them were arrested.

The law department says the city did not admit guilt.

Indian police say Danish tourist gang-raped NEW DELHI — A 51-year-old Danish tourist was gang-raped near a popular shopping area in New Delhi after she got lost and approached a group of men for directions back to her hotel, police said Wednesday.

Police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said two people were arrested after a daylong search for the suspects. Details were not immediately available.

Marines probing validity of online Iraq photos WASHINGTON — The Marine Corps says it is attempting to determine the authenticity of photos published by TMZ.com that the entertainment website says show Marines appearing to burn bodies of dead Iraqi insurgents in Fallujah in 2004.

A Marine spokesman at the Pentagon, Lt. Col. Neil F. Murphy, said Wednesday the Marine Corps also is investigating the circumstances depicted in the photos and attempting to identify the Marines shown.

He said the results will determine whether the Marine Corps launches an investigation into possible wrongdoing.

A Pentagon spokesman, Army Col. Steven Warren, said the proper handling of war remains is set by U.S. military regulation. He said the actions depicted in the photos “are not what we expect from our service members.”

attention on the scourge of sexual violence in India. The woman also was robbed and beaten in the attack, which happened Tuesday near Connaught Place, Bhagat said.

The woman asked the men for directions to her hotel, Bhagat said. They lured her to a secluded area where they raped her at knifepoint, according to the Press Trust of India news agency. The woman managed to reach her hotel Tuesday evening and the owner called police. Police were questioning several other suspects.

The woman, whose name was not released, was on her way back to Denmark, said Ole Egberg Mikkelsen, head of the Danish Foreign Ministry’s consular department in Copenhagen, which handles cases involving Danes abroad. Egberg Mikkelsen said the woman had received assistance from Indian and Danish authorities, and that her next of kin had been contacted.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a stunning setback for a nuclear missile force already beset by missteps and leadership lapses, the Air Force disclosed on Wednesday that 34 officers entrusted with the world’s deadliest weapons have been removed from launch duty for allegedly cheating — or tolerating cheating by others — on routine proficiency tests.

The cheating scandal is the latest in a series of Air Force nuclear stumbles documented in recent months

by The Associated Press, including deliberate violations of safety rules, failures of inspections, breakdowns in training, and evidence that the men and women who operate the missiles from underground command posts are suffering burnout.

In October, the commander of the nuclear missile force was fired for engaging in embarrassing behavior, including drunkenness, while leading a U.S. delegation to a nuclear exercise in Russia.

A “profoundly disappointed” Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, the service’s top civilian official, told a hurriedly arranged Pentagon news conference that the alleged cheating at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., was discovered during a previously announced probe of drug possession by 11 officers at several Air Force bases, including two who also are in the nuclear force and suspected of participating in the cheating ring.

“This is absolutely unacceptable behavior,” James said of the cheating, which Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, said could be the biggest such scandal in the history of the missile force.

A spokesman for Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the Pentagon chief, who just last week visited a nuclear missile base and praised the force for its professionalism, was “deeply troubled” to learn of the cheating allegations.

The spokesman, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, said Hagel insisted he be kept apprised of the investigation’s progress.

Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., urged Air Force leaders to take swift and decisive action to ensure the integrity of the nuclear mission.

“There simply is no room in our Air Force, and certainly in our nuclear enterprise, for this type of misconduct,” said Udall, the chairman of the Senate Strategic Forces Subcommittee.

James said she will travel to each of the Air Force’s three nuclear missile bases next week on a fact-finding mission to learn more about conditions within the missile launch force and the more senior officers who manage them.

She suggested that the cheating was confined to this single case involving 34 officers, although numerous missile officers have told the AP confidentially that some feel compelled to cut corners on their monthly proficiency tests because of intense pressure to score at the highest levels to advance in the force.

“I want all of you to know that, based on everything I know today, I have great confidence in the security and the effectiveness of our ICBM force,” she said.

“And, very importantly, I want you to know that this was a failure of some of our airmen. It was not a failure of the nuclear mission.”

James, who has been in the job only four weeks, said the entire ICBM launch officer force of about 600 is being retested this week.

The Air Force operates Minuteman 3 missiles at two others bases: F.E. Warren in Wyoming and Minot in North Dakota.

The Malmstrom unit failed a nuclear safety and security inspection in August but succeeded on a redo in October.

boost tourism.

The Justice Department decided last summer it would not challenge state laws passed in Colorado and Washington after voters supported proposals to decriminalize the sale of marijuana for recreational use.

The sale and use of marijuana remains unlawful under federal law, but the Obama administration has indicated that it will not prosecute ordinary recreational users in states where consumption is legal.

Capra said agents have watched the early days of legal marijuana sales in Colorado with dismay. “There are more dispensaries in Denver than there are Starbucks,” he said.

“The idea somehow people in our country have that this is somehow good for us as a nation is wrong. It’s a bad thing.”

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The chief of operations at the Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday called the legalization of marijuana at the state level “reckless and irresponsible,” warning that the movement to decriminalize the sale of pot in the United States will have severe consequences.

“It scares us,” James Capra said, responding to a question from a senator during a hearing focused on drug cultivation in Afghanistan. “Every part of the world where this has been tried, it has failed time and time again.”

Capra’s comments marked the DEA’s most public and pointed criticism of the movement toward decriminalization in several states, where local officials see it as an opportunity to generate tax revenue and

the United States should operate in dangerous overseas locations,” the statement said.

State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said the Senate report adds little new information and does not do much to expand to the government’s understanding of the attacks. “We should have been better then, and we need to get better going forward,” Harf said.

The report was based on dozens of committee hearings, briefings and interviews — including with survivors of the attacks — and on thousands of pages of intelligence and State Department materials collected between September 2012 and December 2013.

The document contains only one mention of former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is named by the panel’s Republicans as the official who should ultimately be held responsible for the failures at Benghazi. Even so, the report will likely provide fodder for both Republicans and Democrats as Clinton ponders a possible presidential run in 2016.

The committee described the attacks as opportunistic and said there was no specific advance warning that they were about to be carried out.

The report said it was problematic that the CIA and State Department were not working

out of the same facility together in the dangerous Benghazi environment. That meant the CIA and its well-trained contractors, who had served in elite U.S. forces, were not on location at the outpost in the event of a crisis. Six armed CIA employees and a linguist responded to the attack on the compound late on Sept. 11, 2012, the report says.

About 30 minutes passed before the CIA team arrived on the scene and “exchanged fire with the attackers.” They neither asked permission to come to the aid of those inside nor were told to stand down.

Detailed accounts provided to the committee describe a harrowing attack and U.S. personnel scrambling to survive the assault.

Attackers used “diesel fuel to set the main building ablaze, and thick smoke rapidly filled the entire structure,” the report says. According to testimony by the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, a diplomatic security agent led U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens to an escape window at the diplomatic compound.

“Nearing unconsciousness himself, the agent opened the emergency escape window and crawled out. He then realized he had become separated from the Ambassador … so he re-entered and searched the building multiple times,” the report says.

Driver: Officer fired 16 times, but only two shots struck Anaya Continued from Page A-1 up to 87 mph and refused to stop for state police. State police eventually forced her car to crash into a wall. As Wilson left his vehicle to talk to Anaya, police said she drove “aggressively and immediately” toward the officer. Oliver fired several shots, killing Anaya.

The Office of the Medical Investigator reports indicated that Anaya died from two gunshots wounds, one to the head and another to the back. Her 34-year-old passenger, Muñoz, was unharmed and is not facing charges.

Muñoz was in the vehicle, but Pacheco said he told the grand jury he was crouched down and didn’t see much. He reportedly felt the vehicle back up, but he thought the officer was standing to the side of Anaya’s vehicle, not behind it.

Pacheco said dash-cam video did not show Anaya steering her vehicle toward the officer.

She also said the officer’s vehicle at that time was positioned at an angle where neither he nor Anaya could be seen on the video.

Pacheco said investigators determined that Anaya collided with the car based on the fact that paint from Anaya’s vehicle had rubbed onto the cruiser’s front left bumper. She also said

video shows a taillight shard flying off Anaya’s vehicle as though she had hit something.

While no criminal charges will be brought against Wilson, civil claims still could be forthcoming.

Tom Clark, the attorney for Anaya’s family, said they were saddened to learn Wilson wouldn’t be facing charges, but he said he was not surprised at the grand jury’s verdict.

“This is about who investigates who,” Clark said. “How is it possibly OK for state police to investigate a state police shooting?”

He likened the state police investigation in this case to asking the family of a suspect in a homicide to determine if a crime was committed.

Clark said he believes an independent investigation by an outside entity such as the FBI, the Attorney General’s Office or the Department of Justice is warranted.

Pacheco also said that based on the evidence she considered, Anaya never committed a traffic violation prior to the pursuit. Clark said that fact calls into question why Wilson was following her, and, ulti-

mately, the shooting.

Pacheco said Anaya told Muñoz she didn’t want to stop for the officer because Jeanette there was Anaya a warrant out for her arrest on identity concealment charges.

The district attorney said Wilson fired his gun 16 times at Anaya, though only two of those shots hit the woman.

Crime scene photos revealed that the car’s windows had been shattered. Another showed the driver’s seat riddled with bullet holes and a splash of blood on the armrest. Pacheco said the pursuit maneuver used to stop Anaya occurred at speeds of 22 mph.

Pacheco said that the officer knew Anaya had a passenger.

OMI records also indicate that Anaya ingested cocaine, an illegal stimulant that produces feelings of euphoria. It’s unclear if the influence of the drug caused her to flee from police. Mark Donatelli, the attorney representing Muñoz, said his client had not used cocaine.

The Anaya death came on the heels of several state police

Roswell: School set to resume Thursday Continued from Page A-1 the teen. “They were a gun family. They hunted.”

He also said that although the shooter might have experienced some harassment, it wasn’t exactly bullying, more like name-calling.

“He was a good kid; he always had good grades,” said the teen, who was among the 1,000 people who attended Tuesday night’s vigil at the Roswell Convention Center and whose mother asked that he not be identified. “I never would have thought that he’d do something like this.”

On Wednesday, the suspect was in a psychiatric facility in Albuquerque as investigators tried to determine why a child not yet in his teens would resort to such violence.

Late in the day, Chaves County prosecutors charged him as a juvenile with three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, all felonies.

“That boy is just so young, I’m not even sure we can classify him as a juvenile,” said a Chaves County commissioner who knows the family but asked not to be identified because of the ongoing investigation. He shook his head.

“It’s a learning experience. You think it can’t happen here, but it did.”

New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas confirmed at a Wednesday news conference that the weapon was a .20-gauge shotgun that the suspect obtained from home. The boy fired three times. One shot went into the ceiling, one into the floor and the third into the crowd.

“I believe when the incident occurred, the victims were random,” said Kassetas, who would not identify the boy because of his age.

The boy’s family members issued a statement Wednesday afternoon expressing their sorrow. “We love our young son

officer-involved shootings since October. u On Oct. 28, Officer Tony DeTavis pulled a Tennessee woman, Oriana Farrell, over for a traffic violation. Farrell was in a minivan with her five children and was driving 71 mph in a 55 mph zone near Taos. Instead of accepting the ticket, Farrell drove away from DeTavis. The officer stopped her again, but a scuffle ensued between the officer and Farrell’s 14-year-old son. Two other officers arrived on scene, and one, Elias Montoya, fired several shots at Farrell as she again drove away. Montoya has since been fired from the force, though he plans to appeal that decision. u On Oct. 21, a state officer shot and killed Cristoval Quintana, 30, of Lovington. A news release said Quintana had a violent criminal history and was on federal probation.

In that case, Quintana had attempted to flee in his vehicle from state police before officers eventually stopped his car with a spike strip. The release said Quintana took out a gun and started firing at the officers. He hit one officer in the leg before police eventually shot and killed him. u On Oct. 24, state police officers shot and killed Rogelio Cisneros-Chavez, 22, after

and grandson dearly, as does everyone in his extended family,” the statement said. “His whole family is heartbroken, as are many others in our tightknit community in Roswell.”

Classmates, meanwhile, were still trying to make sense of the shooting.

They say the suspect was an affable but often distant student and described him as a “chubby” kid who wore glasses. Others saw him as bright and outgoing, a talented percussionist who also excelled on the xylophone.

The shooting victims remained hospitalized Wednesday at University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas. The boy, whose parents asked for privacy, was in critical condition with wounds to the face and neck. The girl was in stable condition.

Ellen Paiz, 13, was another witness. She shared a second-period language arts class with Nathaniel and the shooter. “He was really smart,” she said. “He talked a lot. He told a lot of jokes.”

Over Christmas, Ellen said, she ran into him at a convenience store. He was dressed in camouflage.

“I told him, ‘Nice outfit,’ and he said, ‘I’m getting ready to go duck hunting,’ ” she recalled. “I said, ‘Have fun,’ and he said, ‘I will.’ That was it.”

On Tuesday morning, as students came in from the winter chill, the boy put his plan into action. The students were sitting on two sets of facing bleachers; eighth-graders on one side and sixth- and seventh-graders on the other.

Then the shooting began: loud pops. Inside the gym, pande-

monium.

“I heard the first shot and thought it was fireworks,” Ellen said. She pushed up her glasses.

Tears started to fall. “I saw [the shooter] with the gun. I looked down on the ground, and Nathaniel was there. There was so much blood.”

Authorities credit John Masterson, an eighth-grade social studies teacher, for stepping in and persuading the boy to put down the gun, saying his actions probably prevented more bloodshed.

Berrendo Middle School was closed Wednesday, but officials said classes would resume Thursday.

Still, many students said they had some fears about returning to school.

“Nobody can understand this,” said Diego Miranda, 14.

“Nobody.”

officers tracked him to an Española apartment complex.

State police had been searching for the man in connection with a $7,600 larceny and an active arrest warrant. Agent Joey Gallegos, who has more than a decade of experience on the force, exchanged gunfire with Cisneros-Chavez and received a bullet wound to the abdomen that required hospitalization. u On Jan. 4, officers fired at Albert Urban, 72, of Hamburg, N.Y., following a motor-vehicle chase just south of Las Vegas, N.M. Urban was reportedly driving the wrong way on Interstate 25, and officers said they had to use a pursuit intervention technique to stop the man. Urban reportedly drove aggressively toward officers, and officer Jonathon Wright fired several shots at Urban.

The man’s injuries were not life-threatening. u And last week, state police shot and killed Ernest Attebery, 40, in Moriarty following a “barricade situation.” The Albuquerque Journal initially reported that Attebery fired at police, though a police spokesman later told the Journal that the man never shot at police.

“The vast majority of elected officials in New Mexico are hardworking, ethical people who want the best for our state, and Common Cause New Mexico wants voters and legislators to know there are simple ways to return voter trust to government,” Harrison said.

At least two bills addressing some of these issues already have been introduced in the session.

They are: u Senate Bill 18, sponsored

by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe. This bill would require “independent expenditure” groups — those not formally associated with a candidate or political party — to disclose their contributors.

This bill is virtually identical to past Wirth bills that have passed the Senate with unanimous or near-unanimous bipartisan support, only to flounder in the House of Representatives without getting a floor vote. u House Bill 82, sponsored

by Rep. Emily Kane, D-Albuquerque. This would prohibit statewide elected officials, legislators, members of the Public Regulation Commission and members of the governor’s Cabinet from working as paid lobbyists for at least two years after their public service.

There have been versions of this bill that have been introduced in past sessions, but none ever became law.

Gov. Susana Martinez, in her first state-of-the-state address, called for similar legislation.

According to a report by Common Cause published late last year, there were at least 13 former state senators and 13 former state representatives

registered as lobbyists in the 2013 session.

Although these bills have been introduced, it’s not certain they will be considered during the 30-day session, which begins next week.

Because this year’s session is a “budget” session, bills not directly related to budget and revenue matters have to have a “message” from the governor to be considered.

According to the poll, 63 percent of those interviewed strongly supported a bill like Wirth’s that would require independent political groups to report who their donors are and how their money is being spent. Another 23 percent said they “somewhat” support such a bill. Only 9 percent were opposed to such legislation.

The support cuts across party lines, the poll shows, with 89 percent of Democrats, 82 percent of Republicans and 87 percent of independents expressing some level of agreement for such legislation.

Kane’s lobbyist bill also received a high level of support in the poll.

Seventy-eight percent of the voters surveyed support requiring former legislators to wait at least two years before they are able to become paid lobbyists to the Legislature. A full half of those interviewed said they “strongly” support such a measure. Only 12 percent said they oppose such a bill.

This idea also has bipartisan support — 81 percent of Republicans, 77 percent of Democrats and 75 percent of independents said they back the idea.

Health: State advertising campaign will target younger audience Continued from Page A-1 Services Department have qualified for Medicaid under the expanded parameters of the Affordable Care Act, said Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott.

The department had received between 35,000 and 40,000 new Medicaid applications between October and the end of last week.

By the end of 2014, the New Mexico Human Services Department expects up to 140,000 people will be added to Medicaid rolls, Kennicott said.

Enrollment through the exchange has been proportionate with consum-

ers’ ages. The 18-34 age group, referred to in the insurance industry as “the young invincibles,” constituted 18 percent of enrollments; those between 45 and 54 years old bought 22 percent of the plans; and the age group between 55 and 64 made up 38 percent of enrollments.

Enrolling young, healthy adults in health care plans to level the risk pool currently weighted toward older consumers more likely to need expensive medical services is a linchpin of the “Obamacare” strategy.

At the end of January, the New Mexico Health Exchange plans to launch a new advertising campaign targeting

a younger audience, spokeswoman Debra Hammer said.

“This is a key demographic, and we want to make sure they know about their opportunities for coverage,” she said.

By itself, the percentage of young people enrolled through the exchange doesn’t tell the whole story, said Aaron Ezekiel, director of Affordable Care Act implementation for the state Office of the Superintendent of Insurance.

“A lot of the younger folks, folks up to 26, can still be on their parents’ plans, so that’s not indicative,” he said.

The New Mexico Health Exchange

expected to enroll approximately 83,000 people during calendar year 2014, according to its pending $81.8 million grant request for the year, which was submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in November.

But the dysfunctional launch of the federal health care website had an effect on enrollment in New Mexico, in part because until next year, the state exchange serves only businesses enrolling employees in plans and passes along consumers seeking individual plans to the federal healthcare. gov website.

“When the feds turned out not to

have a functioning exchange, the goals went out the window,” Ezekiel said.

“The federal screw-up effectively blew up any projections, which were pretty rough guesses at that.”

Jenny Pandl, a spokeswoman for the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, acknowledged Wednesday that targeted enrollment numbers are being reassessed.

“As for goals,” she said, “we are currently readjusting given the delay of functionality of healthcare.gov.”

Holocaust-era heirs, German museums dispute art ownership

BAGHDAD — Iraqi airstrikes pounded a town near Fallujah that had been seized by al-Qaida linked militants and commandos swept in Wednesday to clear the area, senior military officials said. It was a rare victory for government forces that have been struggling for nearly three weeks to regain control of the mainly Sunni area west of Baghdad.

North of the capital, a bomb tore through a funeral of an anti-al-Qaida Sunni militiaman, the deadliest in a series of attacks that killed at least 50 nationwide.

Violence has risen sharply as extremist Islamic militants try to exploit growing anger among the Sunni minority over what they perceive as mistreatment and random arrests by the Shiite-led government.

Members of the al-Qaida linked group known as the State of Iraq and the Levant — emboldened by successes in the civil war raging next door in Syria — made a push to seize parts of the mainly Sunni Anbar province as violence erupted after

Hitler had specific interest in collection

CLEARANCE

By Kirsten Grieshaber The Associated Press

BERLIN — It’s a medieval treasure trove worth an estimated quarter of a billion dollars, filled with gold crosses studded with gems and intricate silverwork. For years, it’s been at the center of a dispute between a Berlin museum foundation and the heirs of Holocaust-era Jewish art dealers.

On Wednesday, a German government-created commission convened to make a recommendation on who should rightfully own the Welfenschatz — or Guelph Treasure. However, it did not make a final decision.

A German government official said Wednesday afternoon that consultations were continuing. “A recommendation can be expected in the coming weeks,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The heirs claim that their ancestors had no choice but to sell the Christian artifacts in 1935 to the Nazi government for less than their value. The foundation that oversees Berlin’s museums says that the collectors were not forced to sell the pieces, arguing among other things that the collection was not even in Germany at the time of its sale.

The collection, which has been on display in Berlin museums since the early 1960s, is considered the largest collection of German church treasure in public hands. Some experts have estimated the value of the collection of silver and gold crucifixes, altars and other relics at between $246-$273 million.

The Guelph Treasure, which was assembled over centuries for the Braunschweig Cathedral, includes some of the outstanding goldsmith works of the Middle Ages, among them ornate containers in the form of cathedrals used to store Christian relics.

A consortium of Jewish art dealers from Frankfurt bought the collection, then consisting of 82 pieces, in 1929 from a Braunschweig duke. With the onset

and al-Qaida’s resurgence poses a major challenge to the government and its forces two years after the Americans withdrew.

Wednesday’s counterattack came a day after al-Qaida militants blew up an explosives-laden fuel tanker at an army checkpoint, killing three soldiers, on a small bridge near Saqlawiya, just north of Fallujah.

It was a welcome success for Iraq’s government, which has been heavily criticized for failing to protect the people. But the militants retain control of large swaths in Ramadi and Fallujah.

of the Great Depression, they were not able to resell all the relics as quickly and profitably as expected; in the early 1930s they still owned half of the collection.

After Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, the story becomes murky. What’s undisputed is that Jewish owners sold the remaining 42 pieces to the state of Prussia, which at the time was governed by top Nazi Hermann Goering.

The lawyers for the heirs said that the art dealers had to sell the treasure significantly below its actual value because they were under massive pressure,.

“These Jewish dealers faced a crisis of a magnitude that we cannot comprehend,” said New York attorney Mel Urbach, who represents the heirs with German lawyer Markus Stoetzel.

“People, targets of early terror, disappeared for a lot less than owning an art collection. But the Nazis wanted it.”

In this case, the lawyers said their research shows Goering personally had a keen interest in acquiring the Guelph Treasure because he had planned to give it to Hitler as a gift.

“These were not just any Nazis. We are talking about Goering and Hitler themselves,” Urbach said.

poll, were of “likely” voters. The difference? “Likely” voters tend to skew more toward Republicans, Sanderoff said. Typically, a poll of “likely” voters will have about 3 percent more Republicans participating, he said.

Also, Sanderoff said, “likely” voters tend to be more engaged, so the number of undecideds is significantly lower.

Sanderoff said his new poll showed Martinez keeping a strong approval rating among Republicans interviewed — 80 percent.

Her numbers have dropped in support from Democrats, which, he said, is natural. “It’s hard to maintain universal support among the opposite party,” he said.

Still, the new poll shows 40 percent approval from Democrats, with 42 percent disapproving.

Martinez’s high-water mark of 66 percent approval in that SurveyUSA poll last May also might have been exaggerated.

Sanderoff told The New Mexican after that poll was published that the percentage of Republicans interviewed was high. Based on voter turnout figures, Sanderoff calculated last May that Martinez’s actual approval number at the time probably was closer to 62 percent.

Even if the new poll represents a loss of approval for Martinez, there’s still one aspect of it in which the governor can take heart: The Legislature fared even worse.

According to the poll, only 30 percent approved of the Legislature’s performance, while 43 percent disapproved.

County cops say they were fired, harassed after reporting concerns about coworker’s mental health

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

Two former Los Alamos County police officers and one current officer filed a whistle-blower lawsuit Wednesday in District Court claiming they were retaliated against after reporting concerns over a fellow officer’s mental health.

Brian K. Schamber was sent involuntarily to a mental health facility for 10 days in 2012 after then commanders Scott Mills and Randy Foster and Detective Paige Early expressed concern that he was homicidal and Scott Mills suicidal, according to the lawsuit.

Schamber sued the county in 2013 after he was released and returned to duty, claiming he was wrongfully held at the state mental health hospital in Las Vegas, N.M. The county settled with him in December for $600,000 on the condition he resign from the department.

Wednesday’s whistle-blower lawRandy Foster suit claims that after the incident with Schamber, Foster was fired, Mills felt forced to resign, and Early, who is still with the department, has been harassed at work.

The lawsuit claims Early was “injured and systematically discriminated against” because the county administrator, Harry Burgess, and former chief of police Wayne Torpy Paige Early failed to address her earlier concerns about Schamber.

County officials issued a statement Wednesday evening saying they had yet to see the lawsuit and would not comment on it.

Foster, who served 14 years with the department, was a commander when he was fired on May 29, 2013.

Mills had been with the Los Alamos County Police

In brief Police investigate suspicious death The Santa Fe Police Department responded to a suspicious death of a 74-year-old man in the 800 block of Don Diego Avenue on Wednesday night.

Police Department spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said officers were called to the scene

after receiving reports from friends and family who said they had not heard from him since Monday.

Officers found the man dead in his home at about 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday. His personal belongings appeared to scattered around the inside of the home.

Westervelt said Wednesday night that the police were in the process of talking to the man’s family.

An investigation was ongoing as of 10:15 p.m. Wednesday. City police, crime scene technicians and the Office of the Medical

Bushee and Gonzales stuck to their talking points and, minus a few jabs here and there, were cordial to one another.

The moderator, Bernadette Vadurro, made sure of that. When Bushee threw the first punch and said Gonzales had voted for an “immigrant jail” when he was a county commissioner, Vadurro told the candidates to keep it civil.

“Again, a reminder to focus on what you bring to the table,” she said. “We will not tolerate hearsay or things about other people.

Please, please, that was the agreement.”

Most of the questions came from the audience, including one on the candidates’ positions on a ballot question in March to switch from a council-manager form of government to a strong-mayor form, which both candidates support.

Police reported that the woman pressed the panic button on her car keys, which scared off Garcia. She then went inside the store, and witnesses called police.

The woman was taken to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and was released the same day.

An ethics complaint over campaign-finance reporting in Santa Fe’s City Council District 2 race has advanced and could be decided next week.

The city’s Ethics and Campaign Review Board ruled Monday that a complaint by District 2 candidate Jeff Green against his opponent, Joseph Maestas, can move ahead.

The ethics board ruled that “assuming the facts [contained in Green’s complaint] to be true, there was sufficient evidence to proceed,” Assistant City Attorney Zack Shandler said.

If the board upholds Green’s complaint, Maestas’ could face a broad Joseph spectrum of penalties, beginning Maestas with a letter of reprimand.

“The most severe penalty is they could rescind his public-financing status,” Shandler said.

Green’s complaint accuses Maestas of violating city campaign-finance disclosure laws because he did not include $600 worth of expenditures for a robocall, placards and banners in his November report to the city clerk.

Maestas has said he submitted the November campaign-finance report in good faith. He blamed the omission of the expenditure on miscommunication with a political consultant who was slow to provide his campaign with invoices for the purchases.

Green mentioned the ethics complaint during a candidate forum Tuesday, prompting Maestas to shake his head incredulously. Ground rules of the forum hosted by the Democratic Party of Santa Fe County confined the discussion to candidates touting their own merits.

Green and Maestas have until noon Tuesday to submit written legal arguments to the ethics board, including suggested penalties. At 4 p.m. Wednesday, the board is scheduled to hold a hearing on the complaint in City Council Chambers, 200 Lincoln Ave. The ethics board could rule as early as that hearing or take the evidence presented under advisement, Shandler said.

“The board wants to work expeditiously,” Shandler said, so a swift ruling is likely.

Maestas, the former mayor of Española, and Green, an environmental activist, are in a five-way race in the March 4 municipal election to replace incumbent District 2 Councilor Peter Ives, who is not seeking reelection. The other District 2 candidates are lifelong Santa Fean Joe Arellano, art-gallery owner Mary Bonney and architect Rad Acton.

On Tuesday the school board met in executive session for more than 2½ hours to discuss the superintendent’s contract.

When the board came back into public session, board President David Chavez announced that the board had made no decisions regarding the contract. However, on Wednesday, Weston announced that he and the school board agreed it was time to move in different directions. Weston has been with the district since 2010.

Geothermal plant producing electricity

Fire danger levels high across parts of state

ALBUQUERQUE — A new geothermal plant located in southwestern New Mexico is providing electricity to PNM Resources, the state’s largest utility.

The Lightning Dock plant constructed in Hidalgo County by Cyrq Energy Inc. began production in late December and is generating about 4 megawatts of electricity, the Albuquerque Journal reported.

The New Mexico Economic Development Department said the geothermal plant is the only one in New Mexico capable of utility-scale production.

The $43 million plant pumps naturally hot water from deep under the ground to the desert surface to heat a fluid that spins turbines to produce electricity. The slightly cooled water is then re-injected back into the aquifer.

Some residents worry that the project could detract from water quality or availability, but Cyrq says the water won’t be contaminated, spent or wasted.

“Zero pollution, zero emissions,” it said in

Land managers are warning that fire danger levels are high across parts of New Mexico thanks to dry conditions and gusty winds.

State Forestry spokesman Dan Ware says the potential for fire is especially high in eastern and southeastern New Mexico, where the lack of moisture is drying out fine, grassy fuels.

State Forestry officials are warning residents and visitors to use caution.

Ware says that since the beginning of the year, the agency has already seen a couple of potentially destructive fires along the Middle Rio Grande Valley and near Silver City.

Abundant seasonal rainfall during last year’s monsoon season caused the rapid growth of grass and brush. The problem is that vegetation is drying out and more susceptible to fire due to the lack of winter moisture.

Dear Annie: Three months ago, I was put in charge of collecting money for a group contribution. I put it in an envelope in my house. I then had to go on a trip. When I returned, I searched high and low for the envelope, and for the life of me, I can’t find it. Some were checks that may expire soon.

I made good on the contribution, so if I find the envelope, I can deposit the cash into my own account as reimbursement. But I don’t know what to do about the checks. Should I call those folks and tell them I misplaced the money and suggest they stop payment, or should I just let them expire? I am really embarrassed about this. — Upset and Frustrated Dear Frustrated: You must call and inform these people that the checks were misplaced. They can then decide whether they want to stop payment (for which there is generally a bank charge) or simply let the checks expire. They may even choose to reissue them in order to reimburse you (provided they trust that you won’t find and cash the checks). Either way, be sure to apologize for hiding them so well that you can no longer find them. If the checks turn up later, return them to the givers. Those people who have not already done so should then reimburse you, because you covered their costs out of your own pocket.

Dear Annie: In the past five years, my parents, in-laws and an uncle passed away. My uncle lived in the same house for 40 years and kept everything. I took off a lot of time from work to go through his mountains of paperwork and paid a lot of money to have his place cleaned out.

I sympathize with Jessie’s family, but if she’s like my sister, her behavior at the wedding will depend on her unpredictable mental state.

Man gets prison for leaking information

In brief Man arrested after ramming police car ALBUQUERQUE — A man who rammed a vehicle into an Albuquerque police car and then barricaded himself in a home now is in custody.

Albuquerque police say 23-year-old Jonathan Zottnieck climbed out of a window and was arrested behind the home Tuesday afternoon.

They say he’s facing multiple charges including suspicion of aggravated assault on a peace officer and residential burglary.

Police originally responded to a call about a suspicious situation near Richmond and Indian School about 11:20 a.m.

One man at the scene was carrying a handful of what appeared to be stripped copper.

Police say the suspect intentionally rammed into the officer’s police vehicle and fled on foot.

Man gets prison for rape of ex-girlfriend CLOVIS — A man convicted of sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint before pointing a weapon at Clovis police has been sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Prosecutors say 25-year-old Paul Villanueva was sentenced Tuesday and will serve at least 85 percent of his term.

Villanueva will be required to register as a lifetime sex offender and must serve up to 20 years of intensely supervised probation and lifetime parole.

He had faced up to a 70-year sentence after being convicted in the case.

Villanueva was charged with kidnapping, aggravated burglary, criminal sexual penetration and assault with a deadly weapon on peace officers.

Authorities say Villanueva broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home on May 16, 2012. He was later shot by a Clovis police officer and spent two weeks in a hospital.

ALBUQUERQUE — A federal judge in Albuquerque has sentenced the husband of a former federal prosecutor to prison on convictions that he leaked word of a smuggling investigation and lied to investigators.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Western Texas, 64-year-old Danny Burnett was sentenced Tuesday to just over a year in prison.

Burnett was convicted in September on charges of leaking information about a probe into gun and drug smuggling by top officials in Columbus, N.M., and of giving false information to federal investigators.

Burnett was charged with tipping off then-Police Chief Angelo Vega, whom he had known for decades.

Burnett is the husband of Paula Burnett. She formerly headed the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Mexico.

$2M awarded for forest thinning

Burn continues in Limited online voter Gallinas Watershed A prescribed burn is underway in registration begins

ALBUQUERQUE — An effort to reduce the threat of destructive wildfires in central New Mexico is getting a boost thanks to $2 million in federal funding.

The U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service have approved the funds for tree thinning, prescribed fires and the removal of hazardous fuels on the Cibola National Forest, Isleta Pueblo and the Chilili Land Grant.

Officials say the ponderosa pine and piñon-juniper forests of the Sandia and Manzano mountains are dense, dry and overgrown.

The Nature Conservancy says the work will help restore forested watersheds in areas with high potential for damaging wildfire and post-fire flooding that can wash ash and debris into water supplies.

The group is raising private matching funds to help leverage the federal dollars invested in the Isleta Project.

The state’s top elections official says New Mexicans can register to vote online when doing business at a Motor Vehicle Division office.

Secretary of State Dianna Duran said the electronic voter registration started this week for people who are renewing a driver’s license, registering a vehicle or conducting other transactions at MVD offices across New Mexico.

By mid-2015, voters will be able to go online from a personal computer to update their registration information, such as making a change of address or party affiliation. Paper applications will continue to be used for new voter registration other than in MVD offices.

Laws enacted last year provided for the online registration provisions.

The National Conference of State Legislatures reports that two dozen states have authorized some form of online voter registration.

the Gallinas Watershed to reduce the ongoing risk of a catastrophic wildfire in the area that is a primary source of water for Las Vegas, N.M., and nearby communities.

Fire crews finished burning about 50 acres of the land Wednesday and will continue burning another 100 acres this week if weather conditions remain favorable.

The burn area is about 20 miles northwest of Las Vegas on Johnson Mesa.

Smoke from the burn is visible from the villages of Gallinas, El Porvenir, San Pablo, Mineral Hill, San Geronimo and Gascon.

Smoke may impact N.M. 65, the main access to the Gallinas corridor. Smoke may also be visible from Pendaries, Las Vegas and along Interstate 25 north and south of Las Vegas.

Schamber and his wife filed a counter lawsuit asking for punitive damages and compensatory damages, because a federal law prohibited him from carrying a firearm after his stay at the mental institution.

Foster, Mills and Early are asking for punitive and compensatory damages.

State sued over services for disabled The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Family members and legal guardians of developmentally disabled New Mexicans sued Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration Wednesday over cuts in services.

The lawsuit filed in federal district court seeks to restore the services lost by individuals and stop the administration from continuing with changes implemented to control costs in a Medicaid-funded program serving about 4,000 people.

One of the main disputes is over a new method for evaluating recipients to determine their level of services, which can include 24-hour residential care as well as occupational and speech therapy.

The lawsuit said 700 recipients have challenged the accuracy of their assessments and categories of care they were assigned. The new evaluation system uses “vague, subjective and arbitrary criteria and procedures,” the lawsuit said, and violates the due process rights of recipients.

Once a recipient is assigned care based on their evaluation score, “they are tied to a limited base budget and menu of available services without regard to individual medical need,” the lawsuit said.

Family members of recipients, the Arc of New Mexico and Disability Rights New Mexico, a nonprofit advocacy group, brought the lawsuit against the Health Department and the Human Services Department.

Health Department spokesman Kenny Vigil said the state has been able to expand coverage to more individuals by bettering controlling costs. More than 6,000 New Mexicans are on a waiting list for services.

“Others may wish to go back to an obsolete system that left so many of those in need without the help they deserve, but we do not,” Vigil said in a statement.

The Obama administration approved the state’s overhaul plan in 2011 as a Medicaid waiver, and Vigil said the transition to the revised program should be complete by May.

Seeing al-Qaida behind every tree

Robert M. McKinney Owner, 1949-2001 Inez Russell Gomez Editorial Page Editor

Ray Rivera Editor

OUR VIEW

Hearts heavy for Roswell

Dana Milbank The Washington Post

WASHINGTON arning: Al-Qaida may be seeking franchise opportunities at a location near you.

Osama bin Laden has been dead for almost three years, but people seem to be spotting his terrorist organization everywhere. Al-Qaida in Iraq just took Fallujah. Republican leaders remain convinced that al-Qaida attacked us in Libya.

A September report from the conservative American Enterprise Institute finds no fewer than 20 al-Qaida entities, affiliates and associate organizations — and that doesn’t include “associated movements within the al-Qaida network.”

These guys must have more franchisees than Chick-fil-A. With all this talk of al-Qaida expanding like so many Jihadi Juice stands, Americans could be forgiven for thinking bin Laden mini-me’s are running around Yemen, Syria, Chechnya, Uzbekistan, and in much of Africa and the Near East.

But are they really?

It appears primarily to be a case of label proliferation — much like in the Cold War, when Americans began to see Soviet-style communists throughout Asia, Africa and the Americas. This caused confusion over which enemy was worth fighting. Now there are lots of groups claiming allegiance to al-Qaida, and the actual al-Qaida, in dire straits, is happy to recognize sympathetic organizations. American neoconservatives, meanwhile, know that tying a foe to al-Qaida helps to undermine the Obama administration and to maintain support for a robust military response.

Yet in all but a couple of

W

T cases, the original, “core” al-Qaida has no control over — or coordination with or financial ties to — these organizations. The vast majority of the so-called al-Qaida organizations are focused on domestic affairs in their own countries and are not primarily concerned with the United States or international terrorism. Certainly, these groups pose a potential threat to U.S. interests, but not as much as, say, Hezbollah, which has nothing to do with al-Qaida.

What matters is not the label but the mission. The terrorists who killed Americans in Benghazi, for instance, are obviously a menace. But insisting that they are tied to al-Qaida, as Republicans such as House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., continue to do, is true in much the same sense that we are all connected to Kevin Bacon by six degrees of separation.

“Everybody’s gotten all confused about what al-Qaida is and isn’t,” AEI’s Frederick Kagan tells me. The Obama administration defines it narrowly as the terrorists, primarily in Pakistan, whose main objective is to harm the United States. That group has been systematically deci-

mated since it engineered the 9/11 attacks.

But the September report

by Kagan’s Critical Threats Project argued that “al-Qaida affiliates have evolved and now threaten the United States as much as (if not more than) the core group.” By Kagan’s definition, a group’s interest in attacking the United States is “a criterion, but it’s not the only criterion.”

The report listed six affiliates and awarded some of the better-known groups their own initials: AQAP, AQI and AQIM. Kagan says al-Qaida’s leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has personally accepted groups’ requests to be affiliates and has even been known to negotiate territorial disputes. Then come “associates” (which identify themselves with al-Qaida but aren’t recognized) and even associates of affiliates.

At the liberal Center for American Progress, Lawrence Korb doesn’t dispute that there are all kinds of groups that identify with al-Qaida or are embraced by al-Qaida. But of all the groups on Kagan’s list, Korb argues that only one, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, comes close to sharing al-Qaida’s reach and focus on

attacking the United States.

“When you call someone al-Qaida,” Korb says, “it conjures up this international threat rather than people who are using the terrorist threat over there to accomplish local goals and who like to use ‘al-Qaida’ because it’s a chic name.”

Calling a group “al-Qaida” has a political benefit for President Barack Obama’s critics: It undermines the administration’s assertion that it has destroyed al-Qaida’s capability. “al-Qaida is on the march,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said after the Benghazi attack in 2012.

But this supposed al-Qaida group is Ansar al-Sharia, and even Kagan says “we do not assess that Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi is a formal affiliate of al-Qaida.” It may be, at most, linked to another group affiliated with al-Qaida.

That this group killed the U.S. ambassador and three others in Benghazi makes it monstrous and dangerous.

But calling it al-Qaida doesn’t make it so any more than calling it Chick-fil-A will make it serve tasty nuggets.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Give filmmakers due credit in creative world

I

am surprised that filmmaking is not mentioned among the rest of the creative endeavors in the reader view (“Creative economy creates jobs, enriches Santa Fe,” Jan. 12). The Santa Fe University of Art and Design, the Santa Fe Community College and the Institute of American Indian Art all have excellent film programs. There are a number of independent filmmakers here in Santa Fe, and they need to be considered in the discussion of a creative economy.

Santa Fe’s two film festivals, the Santa Fe Film Festival and the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, both attract visitors from around the country. These visitors come to see the creative work that has been done by local filmmakers as well as other films that are part of the programming.

Film creation is storytelling that is art.

We need to give our filmmakers their due.

Mr. Hotchkiss, you have nailed it! The Santa Fe Community College Governing Board should not be using flawed data to inflame the campus climate, much less to evaluate their current state of affairs.

Unfortunately, this is par for the course, as flawed data is what the board has used recently in determining the college’s future. Hopefully, the imminent arbitration process will help board members to focus on facts not baseless arguments.

Do you really think she would want the government to force her to carry that fetus to term, as set forth in her Republican Party platform? Or would she want to make that decision herself, with her doctor and family? And how about the pregnant woman in Fort Worth, Texas, who is brain dead in a vegetative state?

I thought the Republicans were for less government and more freedom and personal responsibility? Obviously not.

he state of New Mexico has a heavy heart.

In our state, in one of our towns, in one of our schools, one of our children took a gun to school, aiming it at classmates and finding two targets.

One victim, a 13-year-old girl, appears to be in stable condition, while the second, an 11-year-old-boy, remains critically wounded. Both are in a Lubbock, Texas, hospital while the shooter, a 12-year-old boy, is at a psychiatric hospital in Albuquerque.

The students of Berrendo Middle School in Roswell, their teachers and family — indeed, the entire town of Roswell — will carry the events of Tuesday for the rest of their lives.

“There was blood everywhere,” one student told reporters.

A classmate walked into the gymnasium before school and fired off what has been described as a 20-gauge, sawed-off shotgun. Some 500 students were there, inside because the day was cold, waiting to go to class. The shooter stopped because a brave teacher — social studies instructor John Masterson — persuaded him to put down the gun. Police say the student planned the attack ahead of time.

Incredibly, it is being reported that the accused had told friends and cousins to go to the cafeteria rather than the gym, and even commented online that he was looking forward to school on Monday — the place was shut down because of plumbing problems, so his anticipation shifted until Tuesday.

Investigators will have to find out more to see whether the attack could have been prevented. Of course, one focus of their investigation will be finding out how a 12-year-old had access to a shotgun and whether bullying, as some students are saying, had occurred.

In these early days, before the conversation turns back to gun control or mental illness, with fingers pointed and discussions of legislation to prevent a similar tragedy, we should pause for a moment.

We don’t know the shooter’s motive. We don’t know how he obtained his weapon, except that police say it belonged to his parents. We don’t know whether someone could have intervened. We only know that the sound of bullets peppered the air on Tuesday morning and that children are damaged as a result. We know that one brave guy without a gun stopped the shooter. We know that the children, staff and teachers at Berrendo Middle School acted with good sense after the shooting despite the chaos that follows tragedy.

Our thoughts are with them as they begin their recovery — as Gov. Susana Martinez said as she asked for our prayers, “Please don’t forget that this community is a strong community. They will pull together.”

For all children, there is one thing we can do. If you keep guns in your home — especially if you live with children — take your weapons and lock them away. Store ammunition away from the weapon. Use trigger locks. Hide the gun safe key or combination where no child can find it. Securing weapons should be non-controversial. It doesn’t even take a law. Individuals can make this happen.

The violence in Roswell marks the 30th school shooting since the massacre of elementary school children at Newtown, Conn., in December 2012. In the most powerful nation on Earth, children do not feel safe at school. It’s no wonder our hearts are heavy.

Heroin, pill abuse stir battle cry in Vermont

Travel Bug

The Associated Press

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Behind the facade of pristine ski slopes, craft beer, quaint village greens and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, Vermont is grappling with painkiller and heroin abuse, a challenge leaders say is fueling crime and wrecking lives and families disproportionately in this tiny state.

Nearly every day, police across Vermont respond to burglaries or armed robberies investigators believe are prompted by the unslakable hunger for money to feed heroin or pill habits. In many cases, law enforcement officials say, what began as the abuse of prescription drugs has turned into heroin use because it’s less expensive and, more recently, easier to get.

Federal statistics rank Vermont among the top 10 states for the abuse of painkillers and illicit drug use other than marijuana — including heroin — for people ages 18 to 25.

Gov. Peter Shumlin took the unusual step of highlighting the challenge by devoting almost his entire state of the state address to it, and he called in his budget proposal Wednesday for $10 million in new spending on the problem.

In his address, he described the drug abuse as “a crisis bubbling just beneath the surface” and called on the Legislature to pass laws encouraging treatment and seek ideas on the best way to prevent people from becoming addicted in the first place. He also called for stiffer penalties for traffickers and people who use weapons in drug crimes.

“Anyone who doesn’t believe that they have an opiate challenge in their state is in denial,” Shumlin said in an interview

Federal statistics rank Vermont among the top 10 states for the abuse of painkillers and illicit drug use other than marijuana — including heroin — for people ages 18 to 25. with The Associated Press on Thursday, the day after his speech. “The point is that if we can shift from our belief, our fantasy, that we can solve all of these problems with law enforcement, we’ll go a long way toward solving the problem. This is primarily a public health crisis.”

The numbers are startling for a state the size of Vermont, which with 625,000 residents has about the same population as Nashville, Tenn.: u It ranks second in the country for the rate of people being treated for opiate abuse, the Vermont Health Department says. u Over the past five years, the number of serious drug crimes rose 46 percent, according to a study released in October by the Justice Center of the Council on State Governments. u Last year, the number of heroin overdose deaths almost doubled from nine to 17. And five times as many suspected heroin dealers were indicted in 2013 as in 2010. u From 2009 through 2012, the number of calls reporting suspected child abuse or neglect caused by drug abuse to the Vermont Department of Children and Families increased about 38 percent, from 3,293 to 4,555, said Commissioner Dave Yacovone.

Vermonters have no ready explanation for the rise in drug use. The state has consistently had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, but in his speech, Shumlin said the underlying cause of addic-

tion was “a lack of hope and opportunity” that he proposed counteracting with good jobs and “the best early education in America.”

Many prescription painkillers belong to a class of drugs known as opioids, which also includes heroin, codeine and methadone. Many states are reporting increasing heroin problems as an unintended

byproduct of efforts to crack down on painkiller abuse that didn’t include treatment of the underlying addiction, said Sherry Green, executive director of the National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws.

“What they are doing, they are shifting to heroin because if they are already addicted to opiates they are going to … switch to the next best thing, which is heroin,” she said.

Shumlin, a Democrat, wants the Legislature to expand treatment and recovery programs, and create a system that would allow some addicts to be sent for treatment immediately after their first contacts with law enforcement. He also wants to emphasize prevention.

going to find them.”

With no clear rules governing the use of the military in civilian law enforcement, soldiers have been slow to respond as the cartel has gone about its business in Michoacan, including taking over some mining exports to China, forcing civilians to demonstrate against police and extorting payments on a wide range of activities.

The vigilantes know who the criminals are, often with help from local residents who point out the thugs who have extorted money, stolen homes and cars, or kidnapped relatives.

The vigilantes kill without qualms and take enemies into improvised jails.

Cartel gunmen usually flee before vigilantes arrive in towns, burning vehicles to cover their escape. In each new town they take over, the so-called self-defense groups are greeted by dozens of eager young men who want to join the movement and “liberate” more towns.

The number of deaths in the yearlong vigilante-cartel conflict is unclear, but the state’s homicide count has roughly doubled to more than 100 a month since September compared to earlier in the year.

Manning’s ‘Omaha’ keeps Broncos foes off-balance QB mentions Nebraska city 44 times during game

By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning’s road to the Super Bowl has taken an unexpected detour. Through Omaha, of all places.

On Wednesday, Manning pretended to shed a bit of light on his new favorite city, the name of which he shouted out

44 times from the line of scrimmage during Denver’s playoff win over San Diego last weekend.

“I’ve had a lot of people ask me what ‘Omaha’ means,” Manning said. “It’s a run play, but it could be a pass play, or a play-action pass, depending on a couple of things. The wind, which way we’re going, the quarter and the jerseys we’re wearing. It varies from play to play.”

With the AFC title game looming and the number of reporters quadrupling for his weekly session with the media, No. 18 was at his deadpan best.

All joking aside, though, America’s new obsession with Omaha — a top trender on Twitter during last Sunday’s game — provides yet another window into the Manning mystique.

At some points last Sunday, he used it as a snap count. At others, it was a dummy cadence. And

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE he yellow brick road to another Mountain West Conference championship just developed a pot hole.

Facing a UNLV men’s basketball team that appeared to be coming apart at the seams after dropping two of its first three league games at home, The University of New Mexico seemed to have things lined up perfectly heading into Wednesday night’s game in The Pit. Somewhere between the Vegas Strip and The Pit ramp, the Runnin’ Rebels found the chemistry they have been so sorely lacking. They opened an early 16-point lead in the first half and stayed in front for the game’s final 35-plus minutes en route to a surprising 76-73 win before a boisterous, sellout crowd.

UNLV improves to 11-6 overall, 2-2 in the MWC. New Mexico fell out of a tie for first place, dropping to 12-4, 3-1.

The opener of a critical two-game road swing that wraps up Saturday at 10th-ranked San Diego State, UNLV put a lot of emphasis on turning things around in the noisiest arena in the MWC. “It was exactly an us-against-theworld thing,” said Rebels forward Khem Birch. “Coming in here, we had all the motivation we needed. It was all against us. There was some talk about us being an AAU team and all that, so we had the motivation.”

Birch had a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, but it was the play of guards Kevin Olekaibe, Bryce Dejean-Jones and Deville Smith that did the majority of the damage against the UNM defense.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Six Grand Slam singles titles and more than $58 million in career prize money appear not to have affected Novak Djokovic’s perspective on life, both on and off the tennis court.

Not long after the Serbian star’s 6-0, 6-4, 6-4 win Wednesday over Novak Leonardo Mayer Djokovic at the Australian Open — his 24th win in a row at Melbourne Park as he attempts to capture his fourth consecutive Australian title — he was asked to explain the best part of being him.

“Well, usually I do not like to talk too much about myself, I leave that to other people,” Djokovic said. “I think they can make a judgment about who I am and how good or not good I am on the court and off the court.

“But for me it’s important to always

and agreed to a $53 million, four-year contract with St. Louis.

“It pays to cheat… Thanks, owners, for encouraging PED use,” Arizona pitcher Brad Ziegler tweeted in November.

“Apparently getting suspended for PED’s means you get a raise. What’s stopping anyone from doing it? #weneedtomakeachange,” free agent pitcher David Aardsma tweeted.

“I would argue that that concern has been there before. I think it was articulated in a fashion that was perhaps different this time than last,” Clark said. “We have a lot of players that are very passionate about the topic, and when you add in the social media component, players are confident and willing to offer that perspective. I think that’s fantastic.”

While players are not paid their salaries while serving drug suspensions, clubs don’t have the right to alter guarantee provisions for the remainder of contracts. In a statement last weekend, Rodriguez claimed

his suspension was “MLB’s first step toward abolishing guaranteed contracts in the 2016 bargaining round [and] instituting lifetime bans for single violations of drug policy.”

Weiner said last March there had been talks among players over “whether there should be increases — whether there should be a differential penalty for intentional or unintentional users.” In his decision on Rodriguez’s suspension, arbitrator Fredric Horowitz referred to how he upheld a 100-game penalty for Guillermo Mota in 2012 even though he found the pitcher’s positive test was caused unintentionally by the use of a cough syrup to treat a cold.

“We are looking to have discussions at some point in time prior to spring training with MLB to see if there are considerations that we collectively can make to improve the program,” Clark said.

Unlike the labor contract, the Joint Drug Agreement contains provisions for an annual review by the parties.

PITTSBURGH — The gold medal, the one that electrified a country and cemented Sidney Crosby as part of Canadian hockey royalty forever, is “tucked away” somewhere out of sight and — Crosby insists — out of mind.

No need to have it displayed on the mantle or a coffee Sidney table. No wearing it Crosby around the house on a rainy day.

While he’s brought it out once or twice upon request, Crosby doesn’t sit around holding it in his hand.

Sure, it was a “nice moment” — Crosby’s go-to phrase when asked to describe his golden goal 7:40 into overtime in the final against the United States — but it was just that, a moment.

“I’ve kind of moved on,” Crosby said.

Crosby: NHL’s leading scorer Continued from Page B-1 choice.

Crosby’s glove-flinging celebration in the corner of Rogers Arena as Maple Leaf flags draped the stands in a sea of red and white capped his ascendant rise from Sid the Kid to Sid the Savior. His wrist shot

by Ryan Miller provided a fitting bookend to Crosby’s triumphant hoisting of the Stanley Cup eight months earlier, when the youngest captain in NHL history led the formerly moribund Penguins to their first title in 17 years.

Four years later, on the surface not much has changed.

On the ice, the 26-year-old remains one of the top players in the world. He’s the NHL’s leading scorer for one of the

league’s premier franchises and is the unquestioned face of the Canadian team as it looks to defend its gold medal in Sochi next month.

Off it, he remains the everpolite, ever-humble son of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, the one who refuses to get caught up in his own hype.

It all looks so normal these days, it’s easy to forget just how close Crosby came to nearly losing it all. The launching pad Vancouver was supposed to provide for Crosby’s evolution from superstar to icon instead turned into a cautionary tale.

Less than a year removed from his golden goal, Crosby’s career was at a crossroads.

Concussion-like symptoms sustained in a loss to Washington in the NHL’s Winter Clas-

sic on Jan. 1, 2011, turned him into a reluctant touchstone for head injuries. As weeks turned into months and 2011 turned into 2012 and the symptoms persisted, the world’s best player was forced to watch the game go on without him.

He missed two years in his prime, playing just 28 games during a 744-day span between Jan. 5, 2011, and Jan. 19, 2013, a bystander of sorts as teammate Evgeni Malkin, Chicago’s Patrick Kane and Washington’s Alex Ovechkin tried to wrest away Crosby’s unofficial title of the game’s best player.

It seems like a long time ago now. The questions that lingered when Crosby declared himself symptom free at the end of the NHL lockout last January have vanished.

Colletti said.

The average salary of $30.7 million tops the previous high of $27.5 million, set by the New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez as part of a 10-year agreement December 2007.

While Roger Clemens had a contract with a listed salary of $28 million with the Yankees in 2007, he joined the team in June and actually made $17.4 million.

The Dodgers had baseball’s second-highest payroll at the end of the regular season last fall — more than $236 million.

Kershaw’s agreement, first reported by ESPN.com, is baseball’s seventh of $200 million or more.

Schimmel was just 8 of 22 from the field and 5 of 14 from 3-point range, but made several baskets including one from long range with 40 seconds left to seal the game. The senior guard overtook Jazz Covington for third place on the Cardinals’ career scoring list.

Michigan jumped to an 8-0 lead in the opening minutes of the game. Purdue battled back to twice cut the lead to a point, but the Wolverines took control with an 18-8 run capped by a Ristovski jumper.

The Wolverines pushed the lead to 42-29 on a Ristovski layup just over four minutes into the second half.

Siera Thompson and Shannon Smith each contributed 12 points for the Wolverines and Cyesha Goree added eight points and 14 rebounds.

The Boilermakes (11-5, 1-3) shot just 30 percent from the field and were led by the 12-point effort of April Wilson.

Liza Clemons added 10 points.

Lobos: UNM misses three chances for a tie Continued from Page B-1 54 points and seven 3-pointers.

They also had just three turnovers between them.

Lobos head coach Craig Neal said it wasn’t the long distance shots that hurt the most. It was the Rebels’ ability to beat his team off the dribble and get to the rim.

Whatever the reason, Neal said his club has lost that killer instinct every championship team has. He vowed to have his team find it before Saturday’s road game at Fresno State.

“We’ve lost that edge,” he said, “that competitive edge where they think they’re good enough where they can just turn a switch on and turn the switch off. They’re not good enough to do that. Our team’s not good enough to do that. We’ve never been good enough to do that.”

The Lobos’ heads clearly weren’t in the right place early in the first half. After taking a 9-8 lead on a Cameron Bairstow free throw with 15:45 left, UNLV went on a 20-3 run punctuated by Bairstow picking up his second foul and center Alex Kirk heading to the bench for a breather.

For less than a minute the Lobos had a lineup that most fans were probably wondering about as Kendall Williams was joined on the floor by Nick Banyard, Obij Aget, Cleveland Thomas and freshman Cullen Neal. The Rebels took advantage at both ends of the floor by making shots, getting defensive stops and silencing the sellout crowd.

poor pass by Banyard that led to a fast-break dunk by DejeanJones and a pair of 3-pointers

by Olekaibe.

In between came a mental lapse in which the entire UNM offense ran down court after a made bucket by Rebels guard Jelan Kendrick, leaving Lobo Hugh Greenwood standing alone along his own baseline with no one to inbound the ball to. Only the crowd’s reaction got the players’ attention.

Bairstow came back in at the 10-minute mark with UNM losing 28-12. The 6-foot-9 junior responded with a bucket in the low post and then a defensive rebound.

The Lobos eventually got within two points late in the first half and trailed 46-42 at the break.

Answering every Lobos run with a bucket of their own, the Rebels never did relinquish the lead in the second half. More than half a dozen times UNM got within two points, even having the ball with the chance to tie or take the lead several times.

Kirk missed a potential goahead 3-pointer in the final three minutes with UNLV holding a 71-69 advantage, then Bairstow had a chance to put UNM in front in the final minute but was off the mark on a

16-foot baseline jumper that preserved the Rebels’ 74-73 lead.

“Yeah, I made a mistake on that one for sure,” Bairstow said. “I realized it right away.

My original though was to go two-for-one [drive to the basket], but that wasn’t the right move.”

Bairstow finished with a game-high 27 points, having never picked up a third foul.

Williams had 15 points while Kirk had 12 and Deshawn Delaney 10. Kirk also pulled down 11 rebounds.

Dejean-Jones led UNLV with 23 points. Smith had 17 and Olekaibe 14.

Open: Djokovic tries for 5th Australian title Continued from Page B-1 know where I come from, be grateful for the life that I have. Since I was four or five years old I played this sport, always dreamed of playing on this stage, so I don’t take any situation for granted. Being aware of all these things is the best of being Novak Djokovic.”

The 26-year-old former No. 1 didn’t take anything for granted Wednesday on Rod Laver Arena, preferring to get off the court as quickly as possible in the continuing hot temperatures — a high of 108 F — at Mel-

bourne Park.

Attempting to become the first player to win five Australian Open titles since the start of the Open Era in 1968, Djokovic appeared to be in peak fitness —except for a turned left ankle that caused him some momentary discomfort. He says it won’t be a problem when he returns to the court Friday to play Denis Istomin in the third round.

Five years ago, before his dietary changes, Djokovic was anything but supremely fit in the hot Australian conditions. It was never more apparent than when he retired from his 2009 Australian

Open quarterfinal against Andy Roddick due to a heat-related ailment.

“Obviously as the years go by, I’m more mature as a player, as a person,” Djokovic said when asked to explain the differences in his condition between then and now.

“I learned new things in life. I develop myself. I’m physically got stronger, mentally also. All of this plays, of course, an important role when you are playing in such conditions. Generally it’s much more efficient for me nowadays to recover and to get ready for next point than it used to be 2009.”

90 underclassmen entering draft

Wizards hand Heat third straight loss

Total breaks last year’s record of 73

The Associated Press

By Steve Megargee The Associated Press

South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel headline a record number of underclassmen entering the NFL draft heading into Wednesday night’s deadline.

At least 90 players who had college eligibility remaining are expected to enter the draft, shattering last year’s record number of 73.

“It’s a humongous number, so the first reaction is it makes you step back a little bit,” said NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former scout with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles. “What I’m hearing is that the agents always have to make the sales pitch to get these to come out.

This year, what I’ve been told is the sales pitch is that all your money right now is coming from the second contract, so you need to come out early so you can get to that second contract a year earlier … and apparently it’s been pretty effective.”

ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. released a mock draft Wednesday in which 23 of the 32 first-round picks were early entries. Kiper had Manziel going first overall and included Clowney, UCF quarterback Blake Bortles and Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins as top-five picks. Jeremiah’s list of the top 50 draft prospects includes early entries in the top three spots: Clowney at No. 1, Watkins at No. 2 and Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson at No. 3.

“It’s going to be a huge number of underclassmen that go high and have long careers,” Jeremiah said. “And there are going to be some other guys who don’t get drafted and will

be in a tough spot and would have been better served to go back to school. It works both ways.”

Here’s a position-by-position breakdown of some of the early entries at each position.

Quarterback: Manziel, Bortles and Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater are all projected first-round picks. Although the 6-foot-1 Manziel lacks the size of Bortles and Bridgewater, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner played tougher competition in the Southeastern Conference.

Jeremiah ranks Manziel as his No. 7 overall prospect, with Bridgewater 10th and Bortles 22nd. Kiper’s mock draft has Bridgewater getting taken eighth. Wyoming’s Brett Smith isn’t regarded as highly as the other three quarterbacks, but he could get chosen later in the draft.

Running back: Auburn’s Tre Mason boosted his stock by rushing for 663 yards against Alabama, Missouri and Florida State over his final three games. Jeremiah rates Mason 47th overall and second among running backs, behind Ohio State senior Carlos Hyde.

Other notable running backs to

enter the draft include Arizona’s Ka’Deem Carey, Washington’s Bishop Sankey, Oregon’s De’Anthony Thomas, LSU’s Jeremy Hill, UCF’s Storm Johnson and Florida State teammates Devonta Freeman and James Wilder Jr. Wide receiver: The impact of underclassmen on the draft is perhaps most evident at wide receiver. Kiper’s mock draft has seven early entry receivers going in the first round: Watkins, Texas A&M’s Mike Evans (13), Southern California’s Marqise Lee (18), Florida State’s Kelvin Benjamin (22), Oregon State’s Brandin Cooks (28), LSU’s Odell Beckham Jr. (30) and Penn State’s Allen Robinson (32). Jeremiah has nine listed among his top 50 overall prospects. And that doesn’t factor in the available tight ends. Kiper has North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron going 16th overall and Texas Tech’s Jace Amaro 29th.

Offensive line: Robinson has parlayed a breakthrough season at Auburn into a likely top-10 selection in the draft.

Alabama’s Cyrus Kouandjio and Tennessee’s Antonio “Tiny” Richardson could join him in the

first round.

Defensive line: The headliner here is Clowney, who may have the most upside of any prospect regardless of position. Florida State tackle Timmy Jernigan also is a potential top10 pick. Notre Dame teammates Louis Nix and Stephon Tuitt as well as Missouri’s Kony Ealy could both get taken in the first round. Florida tackle Dominique Easley was playing at an AllAmerica level this fall before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament.

Linebacker: Ohio State’s Ryan Shazier is rated as the No. 31 overall prospect by Jeremiah.

Other linebackers turning pro early include Florida’s Ronald Powell, California’s Khairi Fortt, Alabama’s Adrian Hubbard and Connecticut’s Yawin Smallwood.

Defensive back: Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Louisville safety Calvin Pryor are both listed as first-round picks in Kiper’s mock draft and top-15 prospects in Jeremiah’s rankings. Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby, rated 50th overall

by Jeremiah, is the 25th pick in Kiper’s mock draft.

WASHINGTON — The Washington Wizards had a 34-point lead against the Miami Wizards 114 Heat reduced to Heat 97 single digits Wednesday night before holding on for a 114-97 victory in Greg Oden’s first game in more than four years.

John Wall scored 25 points, and Bradley Beal and Nene had 19 apiece to lead seven players in double figures for the Wizards, who shot a season-high 55 percent and closed the game with a 17-9 run to avoid an second straight embarrassing collapse at home.

Chris Bosh scored 26 points, and LeBron James had 25 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and four turnovers for the Heat, who have dropped three straight, all on the road.

BULLS 128, MAGIC 125 (3OT) In Orlando, Fla., Joakim Noah had a season-high 26 points, Carlos Boozer scored 23, and Chicago extended Orlando’s seasonhigh losing streak to nine games with a triple-overtime victory.

The Magic had a chance to win the game with less than 10 seconds to play, but Glen Davis’ jumper was partially blocked and rebounded by the Bulls with just 1.5 seconds remaining.

The Bulls have now won the last seven matchups with the Magic played in Orlando and improved to 4-1 since trading Luol Deng.

GRIZZLIES 82, BUCKS 77 In Milwaukee, Mike Conley and James Johnson each scored 15 points, and Memphis won its season-high fourth straight.

Ed Davis added 14 points and nine rebounds for Memphis, which improved to 19-19 and returned to the .500 mark for the first time since Dec. 9 (10-10).

The Grizzlies also won for the ninth time in 13 games despite no points in 14 minutes from Marc Gasol. It was the second game in two days for the NBA’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year after he missed 23 contests with a left MCL sprain. He had 12 points in 24 minutes Tuesday against Oklahoma City.

SPURS 109, JAZZ 105 In San Antonio, Texas, Tony Parker had 25 points and nine assists, and San Antonio escaped a late rally to beat Utah and extend its winning streak to six games.

Utah closed the game on a 19-7 run, but was unable to complete the comeback after falling behind by 18 points in the second half.

KINGS 111, TIMBERWOLVES 108 In Minneapolis, Rudy Gay had 33 points, five rebounds and six assists, and Isaiah Thomas had 26 points and seven assists to lead Sacramento over Minnesota.

Gay hit 12 of 19 shots and Derrick Williams had 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting in his first game at Target Center since the Timberwolves traded him to the Kings in November.

DeMarcus Cousins had 20 points and 11 boards, and the Kings shot 55 percent to win for the fourth time in five games.

CELTICS 88, RAPTORS 83 In Boston, Jared Sullinger scored 25 points and grabbed a career-best 20 rebounds, Avery Bradley had 20 points and Boston held on to snap a nine-game losing streak.

Jeff Green scored 13 points, and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead.

Sullinger’s 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnett’s first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt along with Paul Pierce to Brooklyn during the offseason.

ROCKETS 103, PELICANS 100 In New Orleans, James Harden capped a 26-point performance with a tiebreaking jumper with 28 seconds left, and Houston held on for their third straight victory.

Eric Gordon scored a season-high 35 points, but the Pelicans lost their seventh straight.

Terrence Jones scored 25 and Dwight Howard added 12 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks for the Rockets, who trailed by as many as 17 in the second quarter and by eight with about four minutes to go.

76ERS 95, BOBCATS 92 In Philadelphia, Thaddeus Young made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds left to lift the 76ers over Charlotte.

Young hit the final big shot in a fourth quarter loaded with back-and-forth baskets, a contested jumper from the left of the arc off a feed from Michael-Carter Williams.

Young scored 11 points and his winner was his only 3-pointer of the game. Charlotte’s lastgasp shot was off the mark.

SUNS 121, LAKERS 114 In Phoenix, Gerald Green had a strong second half to finish with a season high 28 points and lead the Suns in a victory over Los Angeles.

Channing Frye had 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and Markieff Morris scored 17 of his 24 in the first half to help the Suns snap a three-game skid. Goran Dragic added 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

TRAIL BLAZERS 108, CAVALIERS 96 In Portland, Ore., LaMarcus Aldridge had 32 points and 18 rebounds, scoring nine straight points that pulled Portland in front in the final four minutes, and the Trail Blazers beat Cleveland.

Damian Lillard added 28 points for the Blazers, who won their third straight.

Luol Deng had 25 points for the Cavaliers, who were playing the second of a back-toback after a victory over the Lakers on Tuesday night. Kyrie Irving added 21 points.

Omaha: Manning is 4-10 against Brady Continued from Page B-1 at others, it may have meant something — or nothing — but only the other 10 guys on the field wearing orange would’ve known.

By simply perfecting their shenanigans with the snap count, Manning and the Broncos found a big advantage.

They drew the Chargers offside five times. Then, once the San Diego defenders realized they’d been duped, they spent the rest of the game a halfsecond slow.

Next Sunday, Manning faces New England with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. The Patriots know what they’re in for.

“That’s always been a big

part of Peyton’s game, is controlling the defensive front, however he does it with the fake cadence, double cadence, hard counts, so forth,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “We have to do a great job, be disciplined there.”

By doing most of his best work at the line before the ball is snapped, Manning set the NFL record for yardage (5,477) and touchdown passes (55) this season. Yet for all his success, there are three stats that stand out in a bad way as he prepares for his 15th career meeting against Tom Brady. u Manning is 4-10 against Brady. He’s always looked at the games as Colts or Broncos vs. Patriots, though Manning doesn’t shy away from praising

the quarterback he’s shared the spotlight with over the years.

“I think the one thing that jumps out about Tom is just his consistency,” Manning said.

“I feel like he’s been a better player each year than he was the year before. That, to me, speaks to his work ethic in the offseason, his refusal to be complacent or satisfied.” u Manning’s season low in passing yardage came against New England in Week 12. He threw for 150 yards, as Belichick drew up a game plan that dared the Broncos to run.

They did, gaining 280 yards on the ground (224 from Knowshon Moreno), but it didn’t produce a “W.” “Coach Belichick is the best coach that I’ve ever competed

against,” Manning said. “I think it’s safe to say he’ll go down as the greatest NFL coach of all time.” u Finally, Manning is 10-11 career in the playoffs with two trips to the Super Bowl and one win.

A pedestrian record for someone so good.

One thought: Manning’s preparation is so meticulous during the regular season that there’s nowhere to go once the playoffs arrive and the games get more important. He gives that theory no credence.

“I guess what I would say is, if you have to prepare harder for this game, that means you probably haven’t been preparing hard enough all season long,” he said.

Heat center Greg Oden, left, dunks the ball in front of Wizards center Marcin Gortat in the first half of Wednesday’s game in Washington. It was Oden’s first NBA regular-season game in more than four years.

Corrida de los Locos set for Feb. 1 The annual running of the Corrida de los Locos is nearly upon us again. The race will be held Super Bowl weekend — Saturday, Feb. 1 to be exact — starting at 9 a.m.

Those interested can register for the 5-mile (not 5 kilometers) race in person at The Running Hub in Santa Fe, online at www. newmexicosportsonline.com, or on the day of the race day starting at 8:15 a.m.

Several age groups are available, and everyone who runs will get a long-sleeved T-shirt.

This year’s course will cover a meandering route through the hills of the Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe golf course.

The cost is $5 for runners 19 and younger and $25 for adults who are not already members of the Santa Fe Striders. Members pay $20.

a program that has strong links to the collegiate and professionals levels of ski racing.”

This is being accomplished in several ways. In the past, junior athletes from The University of New Mexico Ski Team trained and raced with the Santa Fe Ski Team, and this program has been relaunched this season.

Laur says that this allows UNM junior athletes to get more personal attention in training and more time actually racing, while serving as role models for the Santa Fe Ski Team.

“Typically, we’ve seen high attrition rates among our racers age 15 and 16,” he says.

The hope is that the presence of the UNM athletes will stem this dropout rate.

“We have kids coming up the ladder now who have the potential to ski at the World Cup and Olympic level, if they stick with it,” Laur says.

Some team members went to Colorado early in the season, where they had the opportunity to train in the company of national team racers from Norway, Sweden and the U.S., and Seigmann and other parents associated with the team have volunteered at the World Cup downhill held annually in Beaver Creek, Colo. The team also has spent a few days training this season with the full UNM Ski Team in Red River, and it will host six or so training days at Ski Santa Fe with UNM in the next two months.

State lifts restrictions on trust lands, giving hunters, anglers full access to once off-limit spaces

State OKs archery hunts in Silver City Hunters who prefer to do it with a bow and arrow got some good news this week when the Game and Fish Department announced that all licensed archery hunters in the Silver City area will have a special population-reduction doe hunt starting Thursday and ending Feb. 5.

Only hunters who hold 201314 archery deer licenses in Units 23 or 24, excluding the Burro Mountains — and were unsuccessful in their regular hunt — are eligible for this special extended season for female deer only. All other rules apply.

The intent is to reduce the deer herd in Silver City, which has increased to the point where it is has become a safety and environmental concern for area residents and deer.

The archery doe hunt will be restricted to a designated area surrounding Silver City. No hunting will be allowed within the Silver City limits, the village of Santa Clara, the city of Bayard or the town of Hurley.

For more information about the special hunt, call 575-532-2100.

Panther Run to held April 26 The 10th annual Wood Gormley Panther Run will be held April 26 in Santa Fe. It features a 5-kilometer run, a 2-mile walk and 1-kilometer kids fun run for children in kindergarten through sixth grade.

All events start and finish at the Wood Gormley Elementary School campus. All proceeds benefit the students of the school.

STATE TRUST LANDS

The New Mexican

o fully appreciate the opportunity some outdoor enthusiasts are being presented with, a brief history lesson is required.

When New Mexico was granted statehood way back in 1912, the federal government granted the state government some 13 million acres designated specifically for trust land. The beneficiaries of those trusts were largely public schools, universities and hospitals, to name a few.

More than a century later, the state oversees roughly 9 million acres, all of which generate significant revenue for those public entities while saving taxpayers millions each year.

As New Mexico State Land Commissioner Ray Powell points out, the state trusts produced nearly $2 billion in revenues the past three years alone.

That’s $2 billion that otherwise would have been passed along as taxes to each working family in the state.

“If you look at it this way, it saved about $850 per working family per year in taxes,” Powell says.

Normally that land is off limits to the general pub-

The New Mexico State Land Commission recently announced that all trust lands are open to licensed hunters and anglers for the remainder of the year. For information on where to find these lands, visit www. nmstatelands.org. Annual passes for families also are available for $25.

lic. No more.

Powell and New Mexico Department of Game and Fish interim director R.J. Kirkpatrick recently signed an easement that opens the state’s trust lands to properly licensed hunters and anglers. In essence, it allows anyone with permission to gain access to land that is typically off limits. It means hunting,

fishing, hiking and general-use access.

Like most public-private dealings, getting into these areas does come at a cost. But, as Powell says, it’s well worth it, considering the resources that are now available.

“For one thing, the partnership with [the] Game and Fish [Department] allows us to work with the fine professionals — the biologists — in that department,” Powell says. “The Game and Fish Department’s influence allows us to get the law enforcement and management that they provide and gives us a chance to utilize their intelligence capital with any biological problems that may present themselves.”

HAPPY TRAILS

Santa Fe’s evolving trail system nears tipping point

By Mike Mellon For The New Mexican

S

anta Fe is rapidly becoming a major destination for trail users. We have reached a critical point in the evolution of trails in the Santa Fe area.

Trails have existed for locals for many years; all who use them have their favorites. Santa Fe has been fortunate to have individuals, organizations, city, county, BLM and the Forest Service share a vision of what could be accomplished to enhance trail experiences in the Land of Enchantment.

Over the past several years, more coherence has been brought to trail development in Santa Fe. As a fairly

recent transplant, I am continually surprised and impressed by the cooperation of individuals, organizations and government to maintain and enhance existing trails and develop new ones.

With a portion of the park and recreation bond obligation funds, the city of Santa Fe developed a master plan for the 1,500 acres of La Tierra. The master plan formalizes the trail system and establishes a framework for site improvements and stewardship of the more than 25 miles of trails. The city contracted with Design Office to assist in the development of the La Tierra Park Master Plan. Claudia Horn of Design Office won the Merit Award from the American Society of Land-

scape Architects in 2011 for her work on the La Tierra Master Plan.

The International Mountain Biking Association held its 2012 World Summit Conference in Santa Fe, a testament to the city’s evolving trail system. Santa Fe was chosen over finalists Lake Tahoe in Nevada and Jackson Hole in Wyoming.

Representatives from at least 27 states and several nations — Singapore, Holland, Australia and Israel — attended the conference.

Santa Fe continues to receive recognition from a variety of media sources as well. On Oct. 8, 2013, USA Today identified Santa Fe as one of “America’s top mountain bike towns.” Santa Fe was

named along with eight cities, including Bend, Ore., and Park City, Utah. According to the article, “These top mountain bike towns are drawing riders of all kinds with amazing trail systems, bike parks and pump tracks galore.”

In the most recent issue of Backpacker Magazine, an article titled “Rip & Go: Horseshoe Lake — Pecos Wilderness, NM” labeled the Pecos Wilderness location as “Best Campsite” in the Southwest. The article enticed one to “navigate a long lost trail to a remote Alpine lake.”

Santa Fe is quickly becoming recognized as a premier destination for

SUNDAY, JAN 19: Strenuous (moderately strenuous to strenuous, depending on snow conditions) snowshoe/hike from the Santa Fe Ski area along the Winsor Trail and then down to the Rio Nambé. East along Trail 160, climbing gradually through several meadows, along the Rio Nambé toward a junction with the Winsor Trail just below Puerto Nambé Meadows. And back to the Ski Area along the Winsor Trail, with a possible off-trail snowshoe back to the parking lot, if snow conditions permit it, 8 miles, 1,800-foot elevation gain. Send an email to akusantafe@gmail.com or call Aku at 577-2594.

SATURDAY, JAN 25: Intermediate level cross-country ski outing, joint trip with the New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club. The destination is dependent on snow

EAGLE NEST LAKE: The lake is open to ice fishing for walk on traffic only. Anglers are asked to stay away from pressure ridges and open water areas. For updated information, call the Department of Game and Fish at 888-248-6866 or the State Park office at 575-377-1594.

LAKE MALOYA: The ice thickness was approximately 9 inches.

MONASTERY LAKE: The lake is closed to ice fishing.

STORRIE LAKE: The ice on the lake was too thin to allow ice fishing. For updates, call the State Park office at 505-425-7278.

Northwest BLUEWATER LAKE: The ice is about five inches thick and anglers are allowed on the ice but advised to use extreme caution.

For updates contact the State Park office at 876-2391. Anglers should be aware that it is illegal to use bait fish at this lake.

COCHITI LAKE: About 30 percent of the lake was iced over but the main boat ramp was open. To check for updates, call the Corps office at 505-465-0307.

EL VADO LAKE: The main area of the State Park has closed until March 31 but there is still fishing

Mike Mellon is a member of the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society and the Trails Alliance of Santa Fe.

Roam: Lands lack angling opportunities Continued from Page B-5 Game and Fish will provide wildlife and habitat management resources. Powell says the agreement is designed to improve the ecological health of the trust land while generating further revenue for schools and hospitals.

Approximately 95 percent of the trust land revenue goes to public education.

The drawback for those itching to snag a few fish is the overall lack of angling opportunities. Because most of the trust land is relatively free of freestanding or flowing water, not much fishing is going to become available.

What is most readily going to change is the hunting for small and large game, namely the state’s primary game targets such as pronghorns (antelopes), deer and javelinas.

Single-day access is allowed, but camping is not since many of the trust areas are open to grazing. And not all trust land allows hunting.

Powell suggests visiting the State Land Office website, www.nmstatelands.org, or scanning the Game and Fish Department site, www.wildlife. state.nm.us.

For those not wanting to take part in hunting or fishing, a $25 family plan allows

for a more modest, laid-back approach to getting outside.

In most instances, hiking and bird watching are easily accessible.

So far, the response has been largely positive.

“Honestly, I’m not sure how many people out there realize they have access to the kind of land the state is now offering,” Powell says. “The feedback we’ve gotten is very positive, but word is still getting out.”

Any trust area that has access with public roads is now open. Those lands that intersect with private dealings will require users to acquire written permission from landowners before proceeding.

Powell says the benefits are enormous — not just for the taxpayers and state, but to the actual hunters who already enjoy benefits that others in neighboring states do not have.

“In Texas, there are no public lands, so you’d have to pay through the nose to get access to, say, an elk permit,” he says.

“Fact is, people who enjoy our natural resources have certain benefits. Now, there is still a small cost, but it’s not like the elk permits you might pay for in Texas. Those can go for $10,000 a pop over there because access to lands is so limited.”

access and open water near the dam.

FENTON LAKE: A layer of ice has formed on the lake and it is closed to fishing. For updated conditions, call the State Park office at 575-829-3630.

HERON LAKE: The only boat ramp open is the primitive ramp in the Ridge Rock area. Boaters are able to launch but advised to use caution.

SANTA CRUZ LAKE: Closed to ice fishing.

Southwest LAKE ROBERTS: A construction project to improve the dam has begun and falling lake levels may make it increasingly difficult to fish. The lake is still open to bank fishing and trout fishing has been reported as excellent with garlic cheese being the best bait.

This fishing report, provided by Bill Dunn and the Department of Game and Fish, has been generated from the best information available from area officers, anglers, guides and local businesses. Conditions may vary as stream, lake and weather conditions alter fish and angler activities.

Ski: Mahre might return to help team Continued from Page B-5 “Just to be in that environment with them and the various national ski teams is so inspiring,” Laur says.

He also says that last year, the team was able to bring former U.S. racing great Phil Mahre to ski with the team and host a race, and that Mahre might return this year.

“We’re getting a lot of attention and verbal support from the USSA’s [U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association] Rocky Mountain division, and we’re becoming known in the international professional ski community,” he says.

With support from the California-based Lennox Foundation, the team also has embarked on significant infrastructure projects. In the past two years, the team built new start and finish houses with solar power; installed new timing and communications systems; bought a van and trailer for traveling to meets; and purchased new gates and safety netting for the racecourse on Muerte.

Just up is the new highdefinition camera system that allows skiers to watch a race from start to finish. The races will be streamed live on the team’s website, www. santafeskiteam.com. The trade group, Ski New Mexico, has provided the team with a $2,000 grant to underwrite cost of the camera system, which may also be used occasionally by regional TV weather crews.

“One goal is to host an official USSA event next year and use just our team personnel to run it,” Laur says.

Currently, only one race in the state, held at Taos, is sanctioned by the USSA. Holding more USSA races in Santa Fe will allow local racers to accrue points and experience, helping to build their résumé for college, says Laur, without having to travel out of state.

Laur went to a training clinic on official time keeping in Colorado in November, and he is now certified to train others in the art. Another board member, Dan Hayes,

also is certified, so the pieces are coming together.

Meanwhile, coach Seigmann is helping team members build links to the international ski powers.

“He is a charismatic fellow and a great motivator,” says Laur, who serves as an unpaid volunteer. “The kids love him, and we work well together, in terms of balancing the work load.”

Seigmann says, “We’ve seen some tremendous fruit developing here. People now understand that those simple things we do on a daily basis, that anybody can do, produce a solid foundation so you can go superfast. You learn what the mountain is all about — about the weather, snow conditions, safety. So it’s more than just going fast.

“Kids today see on TV and movies people who have no respect for life or each other or the mountain,” he continues. “So, we have a responsibility to educate, to produce the best skiers who see the whole picture. We have 40 nations represented on the team, so there is a lot of learning going on about how to work together.”

Seigmann says that skiing shouldn’t be considered work.

“There is a lot of effort involved in sports but it’s not work,” he says. “It needs to be fun because when you do it right, it’s something you will have your whole life. I get humbled every day. To get to pass on my love of skiing and respect for it is a precious thing — to see young people grow into something they didn’t expect is what it’s all about. The community and relationships are there for a lifetime. It’s not just about going fast. That’s not enough. You have to build a community.”

Furthering that goal, Seigmann will lead a ski camp in Austria this summer, with members of the Austrian national team. Visit www. atouchofaustria.com for details.

I recently had to have a new water pump put in my 2005 VW Bug. At the same time, they replaced the timing belt. Twentythree days later, I was stranded because the timing belt broke.

After they examined it, they found that the crankshaft pulley was in many pieces, some of which were missing. Of course, they take no blame for this and say it was unrelated. What do you think? Did they break the pulley

when they replaced the timing belt? -- Kaylyn RAY: They might have. I’d have to say it’s extremely unlikely that a broken crankshaft pulley would break the timing belt, though. It’s possible ... if it broke in a jagged way and tore through the plastic timing belt housing that sits behind it. Possible, but not very likely.

TOM: So let me put a morelikely scenario on the table.

Perhaps what really broke was the timing belt sprocket, Kaylyn. It sits directly behind the crankshaft pulley.

RAY: To investigate, the first thing you need to do is check your receipt to see if they replaced something called the “front engine seal.”

TOM: Normally, that seal gets replaced when you do a timing belt. Not always, but if you want to do a thorough job, you replace the front engine seal and the water pump whenever you do a timing belt job.

RAY: Why? Because both of those parts are relatively inexpensive, and they’re easy to access once the timing belt is o≠.

And if either one fails, say, three weeks later, you have to do the timing belt all over again.

TOM: Which, as we’ve found out, makes our customers

extremely grouchy. So we never change a timing belt without also changing the water pump and the front engine seal.

RAY: But in order to get to the front engine seal, both the timing belt sprocket and the crankshaft pulley have to be removed. And that’s not always easy, especially on VWs. TOM: So if they had to use force to pull o≠ the sprocket, they could have put a small crack in it.

Or if they used heat to loosen the bolts that run through the pulley and the sprocket, and accidentally overheated them, they could have weakened the sprocket’s metal and caused it to fail a few weeks later.

RAY: So look at your receipt, Kaylyn. If it’s illegible or indecipherable, ask some other mechanic to help you read it (if you want to find an honest mechanic, try the customergenerated listings at www. mechanicsfiles.com).

TOM: If your shop charged you to replace the front engine seal, then I think you have a right to be suspicious. And since what you need now is major surgery, I think a second opinion is called for.

RAY: I’d search the Mechanics Files for a trustworthy mechanic in your area, and have the car towed there. Tell him what the

other shop told you, and ask him to look at the car and see if their story checks out.

TOM: The second guy may tell you there’s no way to know exactly what happened. Or he may confirm our theory. Or he may have a theory of his own that either exonerates or convicts these other guys. Ask him to write up his professional opinion for you. You’ll have to pay him for his time, but I think it’s worth it, in this case.

RAY: Armed with that information -- and expert witness testimony, should you need it -- you can go back to the original guys, if warranted, and suggest, a little more persuasively, that they do the right thing for you and fix the car.

TOM: All reputable shops carry Garage Keeper’s Liability insurance (what we call “Bonehead Insurance”) to cover serious mistakes they make on customers’ cars. So they probably have the means to repair this if they need to.

RAY: And if they continue to tell you to go sit in your hat, you’ll have to decide whether it’s worth taking them to small-claims court over this. But at least you’ll be better prepared to win. I hope it doesn’t come to that. Good luck, Kaylyn.

NEW MEXICO FINANCE AUTHORITY Categorical Exclusion Determination Statement of Finding Date: January 13, 2014 City of Las Vegas Water Storage Tanks Rehabilitation and Inspection Project Las Vegas, San Miguel County, New Mexico Project Number: 3043-DW The New Mexico Finance Authority (NMFA) has conducted a review of the proposed City of Las Vegas (City) Water Storage Tanks Rehabilitation and Inspection project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the New Mexico State Environmental Review Process (SERP) for the State Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund (DWRLF). The procedure is based on the implementing regulations for NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 6, 25, 35, and 1500) as followed by the Environmental Protection Agency, USDA Rural Utility Service Bulletin 1794A602 and State regulations 20.7.7 NMAC. Parametrix has determined that this project is eligible for a Categorical Exclusion (CE). Accordingly, the project is exempted from further substantive environmental review requirements under 40 CFR Part 6.107(d)(1) and 6.505(b)(1).

Following is a description of the proposed action and a statement of how the action meets the criteria for a CE. Project Description and Background: The City has applied for a Drinking Water Loan for the rehabilitation of three water storage tanks in the City water distribution system. The tanks are the Cabin Site Tank, the Camp Luna Tank, and the Valencia Tank. The Cabin Site Tank sets the pressure for the highest elevations in the City, Zones 1 and 1-a, and feeds the Camp Luna Tank. The Camp Luna Tank stores 2.5 million gallons and feeds into the Valencia Tank. Water from the Taylor Well Field is blended with treated water from the Camp Luna Tank in the Valencia Tank. The Cabin Site and Camp Luna Tanks were inspected in 2003 and found to be at risk of failure if maintenance and repair work is not completed; they are not suitable for future use without rehabilitation. The Valencia Tank was inspected in 2004 and found to be in relatively good condition; it is now due for a regular inspection.

In order to completely inspect and rehabilitate the Cabin Site and Camp Luna Tanks, each one must be individually removed from service temporarily.

It may be possible to leave the Valencia Tank in service during the inspection process. The Camp Luna Tank will also require a new package booster pump station and yard piping improvements in order to: 1) provide service while the tank is being rehabilitated; 2) replace appurtenances that the City has found are not currently functioning correctly, but which cannot be repaired while the tank is in service; and 3) bypass the booster pump station that provides service to the Camp Luna subdivision. The Valencia Tank also requires construction of a new package booster pump station and yard piping. All activities will take place within the existing tank site boundaries and no new excavation or land clearing would be required.

Project Costs: The City is requesting $880,000 from the DWRLF for inspection and rehabilitation of three water storage tanks in the City water distribution system.

Categorical Exclusion Determination: Categorical Exclusions are identified categories of actions that do not individually, cumulatively over

NMFA has performed a review of the application materials and has determined that the proposed action fits within the category of actions described by the CE and that no extraordinary circumstances are involved. The proposed action fits within a category of actions which are related to existing drinking water infrastructure systems that involve minor upgrading.

Specifically, the proposed action includes the inspection and rehabilitation of three existing water storage tanks and would not increase the existing storage capacity or result in new commercial or residential development.

Approval: The conclusions presented here are based on the findings of an independent review of the application materials, including a CE checklist and supporting documentation for the proposed action.

Based on the independent review, the proposed action qualifies as a CE and no extraordinary circumstances exist that would prevent the issuance of this CE Determination.

Therefore, this documentation will serve as a record stating that the proposed action may be categorically excluded from the environmental review process because the action fits within an eligible category.

The responsible official shall revoke a categorical exclusion and shall require a full environmental review if, subsequent to the granting of an exclusion, the responsible official determines that (1) the proposed action no longer meets the requirements for a categorical exclusion due to changes in the proposed action; or (2) determines from new evidence that serious local or environmental issues exist; or (3) that Federal, State, local, or tribal laws are being or may be violated.

The documentation to support this decision will be on file at the NMFA, and is available for public review upon request. Comments concerning this decision may be addressed to: New Mexico Finance Authority, Attn: Ryan Helton, Sr. Program Administrator, 207 Shelby Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87501.

This documentation does not exempt the applicant from applicable local, state, or federal permitting requirements that may result from the proposed action.
