Booze tax to boost lottery aid fund

Major bills get by in final hours of what some call ‘Seinfeld session’ By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

ometime in the middle of the 30-day legislative session that ended Thursday, a Roundhouse regular summed up the 2014 New Mexico Legislature: “The Seinfeld Session.” A session about nothing. Indeed, up until the last week or so of the session, lawmakers seemed more intent on discussing a seemingly endless list of nonbinding memorials — dealing with everything from local football teams to international diplomacy — than work on actual laws. But, as often happens in a session, it seemed that the significant bills that got passed — or in some cases got rejected — finally were heard in the session’s final hours. The $6.2 billion budget passed Wednesday, while Thursday’s major accomplishments included passing a fix to the ailing lottery scholarship fund and a capital outlay package that includes $15 million for brick-and-mortar projects in Santa Fe County. And just two minutes before the noon deadline, the Senate agreed to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot that would enable the State Investment Council to invest more of the state’s $12 billion land-grant endowment in

Southwest Chief remains in limbo By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

New Mexico’s legislative session concluded Thursday without a commitment to fund the state’s share of a proposed partnership to keep Amtrak’s Southwest Chief running through the northern portion of the state beyond 2015. Five bills that sought solutions for keeping the passenger line on

its historic route failed to pass. However, in the state budget, the New Mexico Legislature authorized a study and collaboration between the state’s Transportation Department and its counterparts in Kansas and Colorado, which also stand to lose stops on the Southwest Chief line if it is rerouted. Supporters of sustaining the route in New Mexico and elsewhere put on an optimistic face

A last-minute fix to the declining lottery scholarship fund — which provides free tuition to all eligible students in New Mexico — provided plenty of drama on the last day of the legislative session. The plan calls for using alcohol excise tax money, as well as a general fund appropriation, for two years to shore up the scholarship, which has relied on revenue from lottery ticket sales to provide tuition for close to 14,000 students in recent years. Lottery proceeds have plateaued near $40 million per year, while demand for the scholarship is somewhere around $65 million. Rep. Jason Harper, R-Rio Rancho, on Thursday successfully amended a bill proposed by Sen. Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, by making an impassioned “head versus heart” speech to the House floor. Harper asked House members to support his version, saying it was a better solution than the bill crafted by Sanchez, the Senate majority leader. Sanchez’s measure would have favored first- and second-year college students for scholarship money, with 100 percent tuition covered for them. Whatever was left over would then be allocated to juniors and seniors.

Raising the wages By Anne D’Innocenzio

The Associated Press

In brief

Study: Afghanistan plan falls short WASHINGTON — A new assessment of Afghanistan’s future says the country could revert to a terrorist haven unless U.S. and international partners underwrite a larger — and more expensive — Afghan security force than is currently planned beyond 2014. The study released Thursday also concludes that this larger force and the government ministries to support it will require international trainers and advisers at least through 2018. U.S. military commanders have recommended such a role following the withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO combat troops in December, but the Obama administration has not yet committed to it. The study was ordered by the Congress and conducted by CNA Strategic Studies, a federally funded research group. It describes in detail what is at

raise prices or reduce workforce. Indeed, the decision to raise wages is a complex one for stores. Retailers have little wiggle room. To stay competitive, experts say retailers have to offer U.S. shoppers the low prices they demand. But to make a profit, they say they must also keep labor costs low. The issue is highlighted at a time when the industry’s profits are disappointing. Earnings for the fourth quarter, which covered the holiday shopping season, are expected to be down 5 percent compared with a year ago — the worst since the second quarter of 2009 when that figure was down 6.7 percent, according to RetailMetrics’ tally of 122 stores. Gap Inc. has been one of the bright spots in the clothing industry, enjoying a sales turnaround that started in early 2012. The company owns the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta chains and employs 90,000 hourly and salaried workers in the U.S. The nation’s largest clothing chain declined to give an average wage for its employees, but said that the majority earn more than the federal minimum wage. The company said the raise will affect 65,000 hourly workers. Gap declined to comment on how much the pay hike will cost it, but said

BAMA, Nigeria — Witnesses say Islamic extremists have killed 115 people and set ablaze some 1,500 buildings during another round of attacks in northeast Nigeria, where local leaders say the army is outgunned by better-motivated militants. The region’s traditional ruler, the “shehu” or king of Bama, has accused the national government of lacking interest in stopping the Muslim uprising in the northeast, which is distant from the oil fields that make Nigeria the biggest petroleum producer in Africa.

WASHINGTON — Safety researchers expressed concern a decade ago that traffic accidents would increase as the nation’s aging population swelled the number of older drivers on the road. Now, they say they’ve been proved wrong. Today’s drivers aged 70 and older are less likely to be involved in crashes than previous generations and are less likely to be killed or seriously injured if they do crash, according to a study released Thursday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That’s because vehicles are getting safer and seniors are generally getting healthier, the institute said. The marked shift began taking hold in the mid-1990s and indicates that growing ranks of aging drivers as baby boomers head into their retirement years aren’t making U.S. roads deadlier. Traffic fatalities overall in the U.S. have declined to levels not seen since the late 1940s, and accident rates have come down for other drivers as well. But since 1997, older drivers have enjoyed bigger declines as measured by both fatal crash rates per driver and per vehicle miles driven than middle-age drivers, defined in the study as ages 35 to 54. From 1997 to 2012, fatal crash rates per licensed driver fell 42 percent for older drivers and 30 percent for middle-age ones, the study found. The greatest rate of decline was among drivers age 80 and over, nearly twice that of middle-age drivers and drivers ages 70 to 74. “This should help ease fears that aging baby boomers are a safety threat,” said Anne McCartt, the institute’s senior vice president for research and co-author of the study. “No matter how we looked at the fatal crash data for this age group — by licensed drivers or miles driven — the fatal crash involvement rates for drivers 70 and older declined, and did so at a faster pace than the rates for drivers ages 35 to 54,” she said in a report on the study’s results. At the same time, older drivers are putting more miles on the odometer than they used to, although they’re still driving fewer miles a year than middle-aged drivers. This is especially true for drivers 75 and older. AARP, the association that represents older Americans, said the report “dispels common misconceptions and reveals positive trends related to older drivers.”

there are no plans for cuts in jobs or store hours or increases in prices to cover the costs. Nancy Green, general manager of Gap’s Athleta brand, said Thursday that she believes some competitors can’t afford to raise wages, but “others will be inspired.” So far, though, rivals don’t seem inspired. Target Corp.’s spokeswoman Molly Snyder declined to comment on the average pay for a Target hourly worker, but said in an email it’s “considering how best to balance the needs of working Americans while maintaining a healthy business environment conducive to job creation.” Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the nation’s largest private employer with 1.3 million U.S. workers, said Thursday that less than one percent of its workforce is paid minimum wage. It said its average wage for both full- and part-time hourly workers is nearly $12 an hour. “Our wages are determined on a market by market basis and we continually look at them in order to remain competitive,” said David Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman. Sears Holdings Inc., which operates Kmart and Sears, also said while it offers “competitive compensation packages,” it plans to “continually monitor and evaluate our pay and benefit programs in light of business and market conditions.”

Gap’s decision to boost pay puts pressure on other retailers NEW YORK ap’s decision this week to raise the hourly wages of workers at its stores nationwide puts pressure on other major U.S. retailers to do the same. Following Gap’s announcement that it will set the minimum wage for workers at $9 an hour this year and $10 an hour in 2015, big store chains from Wal-Mart to Sears said Thursday that they will continue to evaluate their wages. But ultimately, industry watchers say whether they follow Gap’s move will depend greatly on whether or not they decide that they need to in order to remain competitive. “I think more people will wait on the sidelines and not take on additional expenses,” said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a retail research firm. “It’s a gamble on Gap’s part.” Gap’s move comes at a time when the plight of hourly workers has made headlines. Protests by fast food workers asking for higher pay last year in cities across the country made headlines. Several states are considering raising their minimum wages. And President Barack Obama is endorsing a bill in Congress that includes a proposed increase in the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour by 2016. There’s no question that whatever the major players in the U.S. retail industry decide to do will have a big impact on the job market. In fact, the industry supports one in every four U.S. jobs, representing about 42 million workers. Still, the industry has mostly shunned the idea of higher wages. The National Retail Federation, which represents some of the nation’s largest retailers, is fighting President Obama’s proposal, saying the financial burden could force them to

Ukraine’s forces escalate attacks against protesters President Yanukovych might hold elections By Andrew E. Kramer and Andrew Higgins

The New York Times

KIEV, Ukraine — Security forces fired on masses of anti-government demonstrators in Kiev on Thursday in a drastic escalation of the 3-monthold crisis that left dozens dead and Ukraine reeling from the most lethal day of violence since Soviet times. The shootings followed a quickly shattered truce, with protesters parading dozens of captured police officers through Kiev’s central square. Despite a frenzy of East-West diplomacy and negotiations, there was little sign that tensions were easing. President Viktor Yanukovych lost at least a dozen political allies, including the mayor of the capital, who resigned from his governing Party of Regions to protest the bloodshed.

Yanukovych conferred with three foreign ministers from the European Union who had come to press for a compromise solution, practically within sight of the main conflict zone in downtown Kiev. The sights of bullet-riddled bodies slumped amid smoldering debris, some of them shot in the head, and screaming medics carrying the dead and wounded to emergency clinics, including one in a hotel lobby, shocked the country and the world. The opposition said at least 70 and as many as 100 people had been killed, while municipal authorities put the day’s death toll at 39. There were signs late Thursday that Yanukovych might be moving closer to compromise, apparently expressing willingness to hold presidential and parliamentary elections this year, as the opposition has demanded. But given the hostility and mistrust on both sides, aggravated by the deadly mayhem that has engulfed central

rumors that Yanukovych, his police ranks stretched thin, might declare a state of emergency, a move that could herald the deployment of the military to help quell the crisis in the former Soviet republic of 46 million. But his authority to do so was unclear.

REP

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan opposition leaders condemned the government Thursday for its heavy-handed attempt to subdue a protest movement with nighttime sweeps that have turned many parts of the country into dangerous free-fire zones. Police, National Guard troops and members of private militias have swarmed through streets in the capital and elsewhere firing volleys, at times indiscriminately, in repeated spasms of nighttime violence in recent days. Henrique Capriles, the twotime presidential candidate of an opposition coalition, said the government has engaged in “brutal repression” as it goes after students and other protesters, in some cases breaking into apartment buildings to arrest those it accuses of taking part in a an attempted coup. “What does the government

want, a civil war?” Capriles asked at a news conference. David Smolansky, an opposition mayor of a district in Caracas, said the country is passing through the harshest wave of political persecution in decades with the response to the protests and the jailing of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez. “If this isn’t a totalitarian system then I don’t know what can explain what is happening in this country,” Smolansky said. A week of protests, beginning with a rally on Feb. 12, has resulted in at least six deaths and more than 100 injuries. While several large demonstrations by thousands of people have been peaceful, smaller groups of protesters have lobbed gas bombs and rocks and blocked streets with flaming barricades of trash. Troops and police have responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and blasts from water cannons — as well as raids by gun-firing men on motorcycle. The clashes with authorities as well as the pursuit of antigovernment activists by troops

Legislative wrapup PASSED Senate Bill 313, the $6.2 billion budget, is a compromise bill, rising from the ashes of the original House Bill 2, which stalled in the House. It includes $17.5 million in new money for the Public Education Department for merit pay for teachers and principals, teacher evaluations and other initiatives that Gov. Susana Martinez supported. However, individual school districts would have discretion over whether they choose to adopt the initiatives, and that decision would be subject to terms of collective bargaining agreements with teachers’ unions. The budget also authorized a study of Amtrak’s Southwest Chief route through New Mexico. SB 347, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, calls for using alcohol excise tax money, as well as a general fund appropriation, for two years to shore up the lottery scholarship fund, which has relied on revenue from lottery ticket sales to provide tuition for close to 14,000 students in recent years. Gov. Susana Martinez said Thursday she likes the bill. Ryan Flynn: The Senate confirmed the secretary of the state Environment Department on a 30-11 vote. SB 19, sponsored by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, and Rep. Jim Smith, R-Sandia Park, prohibits texting while driving. The bill would allow police to ticket drivers they see typing on cellphones or reading messages while driving or stopped in traffic. Violators would face a $25 fine for a first offense and a $50 fine for subsequent tickets. SB 268, sponsored by Sen. Nancy Rodriguez, D-Santa Fe, authorizes counties to raise gross receipts taxes and sets aside state money for hospitals to treat indigent patients. Some hospitals have said they might have to close without the funding. Senate Joint Memorial 3, sponsored by Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, requires the Children, Youth and Families Department to report data to the Legislature regarding foster children and employee caseloads. House Joint Resolution 16, a constitutional amendment that would enable the State Investment Council to invest more of the land-grant endowment in international stocks. The sponsors, Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas and Sen. Tim Keller, both Albuquerque Democrats, said the amendment could add at least $100 million a year to the state in investment earnings. Voters will decide on the amendment in November. SB 75, sponsored by Sen. Mark Moores, R-Albuquerque, would allow public schools to stock and provide emergency medications, such as EpiPens for allergic reactions to insect and food allergies and inhalers for apparent respiratory distress. SB 122, sponsored by Sen.

budget includes $14.5 million for an early reading initiative. That money can be used to support intervention programs and pay for reading coaches for students in grades K-3. Another $2 million is earmarked toward science, technology, engineering and mathematics initiatives. Democratic lawmakers heralded the budget’s success when it comes to supporting public education. “This is a great education budget. … [School] districts are very happy,” said Rep. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, chairwoman of the House Education Committee. Stewart said the budget gives school districts an additional $136 million for operating costs, which they can spend at their discretion. Joel Boyd, superintendent of Santa Fe Public Schools, said Thursday it is too soon for the district to figure out how it will benefit from the additional funds, but he said, “It does seem to be a positive step forward.” Other education-related initiatives stalled or sputtered

out. Senate Joint Resolution 2, sponsored by Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, would have replaced the secretary of education with a state board of education, which would then hire a superintendent. The bill, which had party-line support, breezed through various committees before stalling on the Senate floor. Republicans accused Democrats who supported the plan of playing politics in their efforts to eliminate the governor’s control of education reform. An attempt to let voters decide on a state constitutional amendment that would have drawn revenue from the Land Grant Permanent Fund for early childhood education programs died in the Senate Finance Committee. And two bills — one in the House and one in the Senate — that called for withholding the driver’s licenses of students who are excessively truant from school died in committee hearings. But SB 122, introduced by Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, which clarifies physical education requirements for

The measures died awaiting committee hearings in the House. SB 78, sponsored by Sen. Keller, would have subjected art auctions to the regulatory authority of the Attorney General’s Office. It did not receive a message from the governor to be considered by the Legislature. SB 138, sponsored by Sen. William Soules, D-Las Cruces, called for a one-time, $250,000 appropriation to study likely scenarios for the state’s water supply and water demand in light of climate change over the next 20 years. The study also would have developed a list of the greatest water vulnerabilities facing the state. The bill ended up stuck in the Senate Conservation Committee. House Memorial 76, sponsored by Patricia Roybal Caballero, D-Albuquerque, asked the state Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department to post information about the number of wells, the number of inspectors and the violations on the agency’s website. While a lot of the information is available within the department, it isn’t easy to find or user-friendly. The Oil Conservation Division said it would cost $440,432 to compile the data for 2008-2013 and maintain it. SB 16, by Sen. Wirth, to provide incentives for waterharvesting systems, failed to get through committees. It would have provided a a tax credit of up to 20 percent of the cost of buying and installing a new residential or commercial water-harvesting system, with the maximum for an individual capped at $5,000. SB 91 would have allowed counties to opt into a special tax-assessment district for water-harvesting systems, similar to the option currently available for counties to create renewable energy tax assessment districts. The districts let homeowners voluntarily take out low-interest loans, paid back through property taxes, to install renewable energy systems or, in this case, water-harvesting systems. SB 94, sponsored by Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, would have given the administration more power to ban fireworks during severe drought conditions. The New Mexican

Many Democratic legislators rushed to Smith’s defense. The governor might have been thinking about Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez’s resolution, introduced early in the session, that expressed no confidence in Human Services Secretary Sidonie Squier for her role in the mental health system shakeup last year. Or she might have been referring to a hearing in the Senate Rules Committee, in which several past and present State Fair officials blasted the administration’s role in the controversial Downs at Albuquerque lease for a racino at the fairgrounds. The hearing was called by committee Chairwoman Sen. Linda Lopez, who is seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Though Martinez was

Indeed, at times it seemed that lawmakers were more interested in “making points” or “starting conversations” than actually making laws. “This is a Senate bill and it probably won’t pass,” Sen. Tim Keller said prior to Thursday’s adjournment, discussing one of his bills. “But let’s send a message.” (As it turned out, the senators didn’t even “send the message.” They voted against Keller’s bill, which was aimed at standardized tests of students.) Although she praised the budget as a whole, Martinez said she was concerned about overspending. As do all governors, Martinez said she would go through every line of the budget and veto expenditures she thinks aren’t necessary. The governor has until March 12 to sign or veto bills.

Harper’s amended version got rid of that distinction so all students would get the same percent of their tuition covered, based on what is in the fund. In other words, if the fund has 90 percent capacity, all students get 90 percent tuition. Harper pleaded with the House members to not be cowed by Sanchez, who has the power to bottle up other legislators’ bills. “I implore you to send a message to the majority leader,” Harper said. Harper’s efforts paid off, as the House approved his amendments to Sanchez’s bill on a 41-25 vote. About a halfdozen House members then lined up to debate Harper’s bill with about an hour left in the session. With the clock ticking, Sanchez sent word that they should end the discussion, approve the amended bill and rush it to the Senate so he could call it for the decisive vote. House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants, said the ensuing action was “literally a foot race to get it [the bill] there.” Sanchez held true to his word and voted to approve Harper’s amended bill, though he said he did not care for parts of it. The measure received Senate approval with just six minutes left in the session. “This is not about egos. This

Harper said he did not regret taking a combative stance with Sanchez. “I may never get another bill out of the Senate, but this was that important to me,” he said. Sanchez offered a sharp response, saying Harper had not shown independence in most legislative matters. “He should have enough courage to stand up when the governor tells him to do something,” Sanchez said.

Student lobbyists from several state universities praised the deal. Jeremy Witte, director of governmental affairs for New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, said the bill does not ensure long-term sustainability for the fund but provides

But he and other students expressed disappointment that the bill also mandates that eligible students earn 15 course credits per semester starting next fall.

T LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dimas will get city on right track I have known Bill Dimas his whole life because I am his uncle and godfather. I want to express the wonderful character of Bill Dimas and how he inspires people. His excellent reputation as a judge with strong morals and ethics is why he is the only choice for Santa Feans. He has volunteered decades coaching and mentoring our youth. People have come up to me to tell me how he has helped them get on the right track. I believe a mayor needs to bring all walks of life together as a community. In Unity We Stand Strong Again. The quote from Abraham Lincoln comes to mind: “I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.” Bill Dimas is the man to represent Santa Fe.

A vote for Dimas I cannot believe that people could vote for Javier Gonzales after reading his past record as shown in The New Mexican — it was a great job of reporting and at the right time. Under his guidance, the Democrats lost eight seats and we got you-know-who for governor. She has brought our state to the bottom, where Mississippi was — with more seniors going hungry, employees making the least in the country, etc. But she does read books to children a lot; although, our students probably would do better if families were not living in poverty. As for Patti Bushee — at meetings she’s extremely dictatorial. I’m voting for Bill Dimas, who is honest — a former judge with a clean record and a musician. As for the people saying he’s anti-gay because he followed the law about single-sex marriages, well, isn’t that what politicians are supposed to do? He also has a gay stepson and is more against crime than either Gonzales or Bushee. Anthony Ensana

Enriching our city

you will join me in supporting Javier.

Javier Gonzales understands the value of our creative economy as the heart and soul of Santa Fe. The visual and literary arts, theater, music, dance, film, along with the museums and arts organizations, contribute mightily to our economy and our quality of life. Javier understands the broad diversity of arts practices (both traditional and contemporary) their important cultural foundations and the ways they enrich our city for locals as well as tourists. He will actively support and promote their contributions. Javier is also committed to ensuring that our educational institutions better prepare young people for all aspects of the arts fields to enable them to stay in Santa Fe or venture beyond. Javier understands that we need to support our creative sector to insure the future of our city. I support Javier for mayor because he will build on our cultural richness and grow our creative economy.

The campaign of Javier Gonzales has created a new optimism in Santa Fe. People have been energized. They have come together in house parties and forums to focus on environmental, health, education and economic issues. Javier is deeply informed. He listens wholeheartedly. He welcomes the participation of everyone. Young artists and entrepreneurs are now inspired to think of new ways to contribute. Established businesses are offering support and advice. Suddenly, there is momentum. In the past, people have assumed that nothing new can happen without new tax money. But Javier and his supporters see that our challenges can be approached by creatively pooling existing resources and working together.

Javier understands how important the creative industries are to Santa Fe’s economy, and as mayor will work to elevate and support the sector and bring in investments to enhance the city’s creative future. Knowing that growing Santa Fe’s creative assets will provide direct economic and educational benefits to the community, Javier’s plans include promoting education and training for the creative workforce, new arts districts and advocating for Santa Fe as the independent film capital with pre- and postproduction capacity. He has the creative spirit we need in our next mayor! Please vote on March 4, or vote early in the City Clerk’s Office through Feb. 28. I hope

In 2000, I ran against Patti Bushee for her council seat. Patti knew the issues and to me came across as a fiscal moderate who leaned more to the conservative side. She was a very artful candidate and I lost the election. I became friends with Patti. In 2002, I was an artist on the Plaza who called upon Patti to help solve a major downtown problem. Traffic around the Plaza had become very dangerous and unhealthy. Tour buses would park with the engines running along Palace Avenue in front of the Palace of the Governors. The art community under the portal and the Plaza was becoming sick from the amounts of engine emissions. There was a pedestrian fatality. Two pedestrians were seriously injured near the New Mexico Museum Art. Several of us were appalled with the traffic around the Plaza and called Patti for help.

Patti acted quickly, and Palace between Washington and Lincoln was closed to traffic. Since then, we have had no serious traffic incidents around the Plaza. I will vote for Patti Bushee for mayor. Cliff Mills

Santa Fe

Show of character About a quarter of a century ago, when I had first been landscaping on my own, I met Patti Bushee when a coworker had left me holding the bag on a job building a fountain. Seeing Patti help me resolve the problem in the most efficient and responsible way, I was struck by decency, integrity and her practicality. She wasn’t a politician then. I believe that the same fine character she showed me in her private business has shaped her 20 years of tending to our city’s public business. That’s why I’m voting for her for our mayor.

Machine politics I was shocked and enlightened by your article on Javier Gonzales (“Six degrees of Javier Gonzales,” Feb. 16). It seems “machine” politics have come to Santa Fe. Have we ever before had outsiders being paid $11 an hour to canvas and make phone calls for a politician? Have we ever before had a network of friends spending many thousands of extra dollars on a campaign that is supposed to be publicly financed? I find it very hard to believe that the Gonzales campaign does not communicate with these friends, especially when two of the political action committees are located at the Democratic headquarters where the Gonzales campaign is also located. Let’s keep machine politics out of Santa Fe. Let’s vote for Patti Bushee, who is committed to the people of Santa Fe and not to special interests. Marge McCarthy

he 2014 session of the New Mexico Legislature had much in common with a fireworks show gone bad. A few early blasts leading to a fizzle at the end. What got passed and what didn’t will affect the upcoming election and probably matters as much as what became law. For both parties, the narrative is set — with issues and real differences to take to the voters for a verdict. The countdown to fizzle started, tragically, with the early death of Rep. Stephen Easley, a Democratic, progressive representative from Eldorado. Gov. Susana Martinez seized the initiative, swapping a vote against her policies for one solidly in her camp by appointing Republican Rep. Vickie Perea to his seat. That switch meant only a 37-33 majority for Democrats instead of the 38-32 margin before Perea’s appointment. Then, more bad luck for the Democrats. Two representatives, Phillip Archuleta and and Ernest Chavez, were sick the entire session. That reduced a narrow Democratic lead in the House of Representatives to razor-thin — the margin was 35-33, and that’s if all Democrats voted in party lockstep. Add to the mix one Rep. Sandra Jeff, a Democrat with decidedly flexible views. She voted against the Democratic budget, causing a tie in the House and took a walk (euphemism for leaving the floor) rather than vote on the all-important minimum wage constitutional amendment proposal. Shake those ingredients, and the recipe for fizzle was assured. (Rep. Dona Irwin of Deming, another Democrat, also voted against the minimum wage proposal on the principal that a wage increase doesn’t belong in the Constitution.) Tight numbers. An inability to corral members. A political decision to go the constitutional amendment route on the minimum wage rather than trying to pass legislation. Republicans were exactly right that Democrats had hoped a constitutional amendment on a popular issue would encourage greater turnout come November. Yes, it was politics. After all, that’s the game (and Republicans have used it as well, most notably in the 2004 presidential election when the GOP put anti-same-sex marriage initiatives on ballots to increase turnout in several states). More is involved than politics, however. Democrats sincerely believe that wages need to go up. We’ve repeated this fact, and we’ll repeat it again — had the minimum wage kept up with inflation since 1968, it would be around $10.77. The constitutional amendment would only have brought it to around $8.30, a reasonable increase. What’s more, since Gov. Susana Martinez had vetoed an increase to $8.50 only last year, it made sense to try and avoid her (she said she would have accepted $7.80). Again, that’s politics. Republicans understand that raising the minimum wage is popular — so much so that five Republicans also took a walk on the amendment. Valencia County’s Rep. Alonzo Baldonado, a self-professed Christian lawmaker, was one who did not want to vote on raising wages. (He also, by the way, has worried publicly that teaching yoga is an affront to Christianity.) Surely, the refusal of GOP members to be counted for working people is something Democrats can use to their advantage. Surely, grass-roots groups who want increases in the minimum wage know that the Legislature is close to tipping to the GOP side. Surely, the prospect of complete gridlock in the state Legislature (GOP House and Democratic Senate) will spark passion — perhaps on both sides — to encourage turnout even with a lopsided race for governor, with Martinez favored for re-election. This election season, watch for primary opponents for uncooperative incumbents, loads of special-interest money and attacks in swing districts. Think of this legislative session, its fizzled ending and the failure of Democrats to put before voters a constitutional amendment that could raise wages for some 85,000 New Mexico workers. Then, let’s see who takes the facts of what happened and turns them into victory come November. That’s when we will discover who won this legislative session.

CITY ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS With the election just more than a week away, The Santa Fe New Mexican will be publishing its endorsements in the March 4 municipal election starting on Saturday. Watch for endorsements in City Council races on Saturday, in the mayor’s race on Sunday and for various charter amendments on Monday. Remember, too, that we will not be taking any more endorsement letters on the election past Tuesday (Feb. 25) and will not publish any letters on the election past Friday (Feb. 28).

Gunmakers UPS pilots fatigued before crash thrive in Failure to program computer system Obama era doomed plane Democratic president’s push for stricter regulations sparks spike in manufacturing, purchases By Del Quentin Wilber Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — U.S. gunmakers, led by Sturm Ruger & Co. and Smith & Wesson Holding Corp., churned out a record number of firearms in 2012, government data show, continuing a trend of robust production during Democratic presidencies. More than 8.57 million guns were produced in 2012, up 31 percent from 6.54 million in 2011, according to data released this week by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Almost as many guns — 26.1 million — were produced during Democrat Barack Obama’s first term as president as during the entire eightyear presidency of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, ATF data show. Advocates on both sides of the gun-control debate said manufacturers were meeting demand fueled by concerns among gun owners who Democratic presidents are more willing to limit firearms sales than Republicans. After years of steering clear of the issue, Obama pressed unsuccessfully last year for stricter gun measures in the wake of the 2012 Newtown, Conn., massacre. The production boom has resulted in strong sales and profits for gun companies, including Sturm & Ruger and Smith & Wesson. “Barack Obama is the stimulus package for the firearms industry,” said Dave Workman, senior editor of Gun Mag, a print and online publication of the 2nd Amendment Foundation, a gunownership rights group. “The greatest irony of the Obama administration is that the one industry that he may not have really liked to see healthy has become the healthiest industry in the U.S.” Brian Malte, senior policy director of the Washington-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said gun-rights groups “demonized” Obama during the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, leading many gun owners to buy more firearms. “We see the percentage of households owning guns declining,” he said, “and that indicates that those who already own guns are buying more of them.” Other factors might also be driving gun demand, including Supreme Court decisions striking down gun restrictions, a spread of laws allowing people to carry concealed weapons and the increasingly popularity of sport shooting.

Leak: Site receives 17 to 19 shipments per week Continued from Page A-1 news conference that Jose Franco, manager of the Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Field Office, confirmed publicly that readings from the monitors matched materials from the waste that is stored there, indicating a leak. Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn said he traveled to Carlsbad as soon as he was told Wednesday night that radiation had been picked up by an above ground air sensor. “We are wondering why it took a couple of days to confirm the radiological event outside of the under-

ground,” he said. “We will demand that federal officials share information with the public in real time. That’s the reason we are here.” Franco said it was the first such incident since WIPP opened 15 years ago and that the emergency systems worked flawlessly after the alert late Friday night. He said the filters activated immediately, enabling only trace amounts of radiation to escape. The radiation levels underground have since been dropping, he said, indicating it was an isolated spill. Flynn, however, said, “Events like this should never occur. From the state’s perspective, one event is far

too many. Our primary concern continues to be public safety.” “Even though the levels detected are very low,” he said, “radiation is simply not supposed to be released outside the building.” The Department of Energy has appointed a team to investigate the leak at the plant. It was the second incident in just a matter of weeks. Earlier this month, a truck hauling salt below ground caught fire, shutting down operations for a few days. Officials have not said what caused the truck fire, but Franco said it was unlikely the events were related. He also said there was no evidence of a seismic

event at the site. WIPP is the nation’s first underground nuclear repository. Each week, it receives 17 to 19 shipments of low-grade nuclear waste like plutonium-contaminated clothing and tools from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other federal nuclear sites around the country. Those shipments have been halted indefinitely, which could impact the ability of Los Alamos to meet a state deadline this year for removing thousands of barrels of waste that currently are stored outside on its northern New Mexico compound.

SOCHI, Russia — Russia’s cupboard was so bare of world-class female figure skaters that the sport’s most dominant nation had to turn to the kids a few years ago. Among those youngsters was Adelina Sotnikova, who won a national championship in 2009, when she was just 12. She was too young to compete at the 2010 Olympics. When she finally got to the games this year, she was

Los Alamos’ Lott looks to break state records By Edmundo Carrillo

The New Mexican

Everything that Sarah Lott works for all year comes down to this weekend. The Los Alamos sophomore isn’t just competing for a ribbon at the State Swimming and Diving Championships that are taking place Friday and Saturday in Albuquerque Academy Natatorium, she is looking to break records. Lott beat the Los Alamos records for the 100- and 200-meter freestyle while doing off-season club swimming, but she wants to make it official by setting those records in a New Mexico Activities Associationsanctioned event. And what better place than at state? “I want to make those records count,” Lott said. “And I have the best chance of winning those events.” Lott already broke the school record in the 100 butterfly earlier in the season with a time of 59.27 seconds. She beat the mark of 59.96 seconds set by Amy Henninger in 1986, which was the longest-standing team record. But despite having the school record and the third fastest time in the state, Lott opted to not compete in the 100 butterfly in favor of the 100 and 200 freestyles, since swimmers can only participate in two

ose Tapia’s quest is never-ending. It’s not enough to have been a precocious eighth-grader with the Capital wrestling team who won his first individual state title last

year. It’s not enough that he is a favorite to win another individual title, this time in the 113-pound division in the Class AAAA tournament, keeping him on pace to possibly become a five-time state champion — an achievement only three other wrestlers have accomplished. It’s not enough that he has yet to lose on the mat

in his prep career (his two losses were due to an ejection from a tournament last year). “I don’t think I’ve come that far,” Tapia said. “I’ve only won one state championship. I’m going in thinking like I have not won any.” All Tapia wants is more. More mat time to work on his technique. More tournaments — in high school and on the club scene — to refine his skills. More input to help further his ultimate goal —“to be a national champion,” Tapia said. The now-freshman is working his way toward it. He and the Jaguars will take another step Friday when they hit the mat for the opening round and the quarterfinals of the State Wrestling Champion-

ships in the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho. Tapia is one of three Jaguars who are considered favorites in their respective weight classes — senior Isaiah Anaya is another one at 145, while junior Ernesto Salvidrez is 40-0 in the 152 division. But Tapia does not concern himself with his 35-0 mark, the No. 1 seed in his division or the expectations that come with those lofty accomplishments. All he sees is the next match. Sometimes, the opponent is not even relevant. When Tapia went to the National High School Coaches Association High School Wrestling Championships in Virginia Beach, Va., he made it

Every other sport in the state holds its championships in one city — if not one venue — and the fans still show up and cheer. In the case of the big schools (Classes AAAAA and AAAAAA next year), the answer is a strong yes. The southern schools have proven time and again they can bring the entire town to a championship game, and certain northern programs know their fans will show up in droves, too. But once you get to the AAAA level and below, it becomes problematic. Will communities from the far reaches of the state (Clayton and Raton on one side, Lovington, Dexter, Eunice, Silver and Hagerman on the other, to name a few) really want to come to Albuquerque for a game? And if the 40,000-seat college complex is used, how small will it make a crowd of 5,000 feel? It might work better for the smaller

championships to play at the highschool venues, but how soon will those schools complain about being left out of University Stadium? Of course, maybe this mind is blinded by the sights and sounds he has seen in The Pit, and the mystique that surrounds the arena and the sport so many kids play in New Mexico. Truth be told, every other sport in the state holds their championships in one city — if not one venue — and the fans still show up and cheer. So perhaps its time for the one sport that might challenge basketball for supremacy to get its chance to make a “Field of Dreams” for its players and coaches. All traditions have a beginning, so why not start now?

LeBron James leads Heat past Thunder By Cliff Brunt

The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — LeBron James scored 33 points before leaving in the fourth quarter with a bloody Heat 103 nose and the Thunder 81 Miami Heat beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-81 on Thursday night. James went down with 5:50 remaining after he was struck by Oklahoma City’s Serge Ibaka on a drive to the basket. James finished the dunk, but was bloodied and left the court with a towel over his face. Dwyane Wade had 24 points and 10 assists and Chris Bosh added 24 points for Miami, which won its fourth straight and avenged an earlier loss to Oklahoma City. Kevin Durant scored 28 points for Oklahoma City. Russell Westbrook, who had missed the previous 27 games after having a surgery on his right knee, started and scored 16 points. Oklahoma City lost at home for the first time since Jan. 5. The Thunder overcame an early 18-point deficit on Jan. 29 to roll past the Heat 112-95 in Miami, and the home fans hoped for a regular-season sweep against the team that beat Oklahoma City in the 2012 NBA Finals. The crowd erupted as Westbrook was introduced

as a starter. His first minute of action was furious and had the crowd on its feet. His first basket was a two-handed, fastbreak dunk 37 seconds into the game, and he got a steal 17 seconds later. The excitement quickly evaporated. James scored 10 points in the first 3:11 on 5-for-5 shooting and Miami made 13 of its first 14 shots to take a 28-13 lead. James scored 16 points to help the Heat lead 34-17 at the end of the first quarter. The Heat extended their lead to 19 points in the second quarter before the Thunder

rallied behind Westbrook. He scored nine points in the final 1:55 of the first half, including a dunk in the closing seconds, to trim Miami’s lead to 54-47 at the break. Miami took control early in the third quarter. James scored six points during a 10-0 run that helped the Heat take a 64-49 lead. The Heat extended their lead to 75-53 on a 3-pointer by James with just over five minutes left in the third quarter. Durant scored seven points in the final 2:46 of the quarter to trim Miami’s edge to 76-65 heading into the fourth quarter. Miami reasserted itself in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter. Bosh hit a 3-pointer to bump the Heat’s lead back up to 19 with just under 10 minutes to go. NuggETS 101, BuCkS 90 In Milwaukee, Kenneth Faried continued his recent hot streak, scoring 26 points to carry Denver past the Bucks. Wilson Chandler scored 15 while J.J. Hickson added 14 points and 10 rebounds in a matchup of two teams left short-handed by deals they made before Thursday afternoon’s trade deadline. Faried, the No. 22 overall pick in the 2011 draft, has been impressive this February. Coming off a 21-point, 10-rebound performance against Phoenix, the forward also scored a career-high 28 against the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this month.

week in Indianapolis. A year ago, three players complained they were asked inappropriate questions they believed were intended to seek details about their sexual orientation. Talking about harmony is easy in the offseason, of course, but maintaining an atmosphere of respect and tolerance is another story once dozens of players are thrown together. With a 53-man roster, no coach can come close to hearing every word. “It’s hard. You try to set a good culture and a good environment in your building and hope for the best,” Denver Broncos coach John Fox said. Clearly, this issue will be scrutinized this year, with Sam entering the league, and the Dolphins trying to repair their image. “What happened there has nothing to do with what we are doing in Tampa Bay,” new Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith said. “The locker room has been there all along.

Pojoaque beats West Las Vegas SCOREBOARD

The New Mexican

The Pojoaque Elks that everyone expected this season finally showed up — and not a moment too soon. Paced by Ryan MaesPojoaque 72 tas’ 22 points, Pojoaque W. Las Veg. 67 beat West Las Vegas 72-67 in a District 2AAA game in Ben Luján Gymnasium on Thursday night. The win prevented the Dons (17-7 overall, 7-1 2AAA) from finishing the district season unblemished, and it gives the Elks a chance to secure the third seed for the 2AAA tournament next week. Pojoaque (12-13, 3-4) must beat Las Vegas Robertson on Saturday to take third place. West Las Vegas led 47-44 heading into the fourth quarter, but a pair of free throws and a 3-pointer to start the fourth quarter made it a back-and-forth affair the rest of the way. Pojoaque finally took control in the final 2 minutes and even got the lead up to seven points at one point. John Ainsworth added 15 points for the Elks, while Christ Martinez had 11. The Dons had Cody Najar, who was granted a hardship transfer petition by the New Mexico Activities Association two weeks ago, score 18 points. PEñASCO 74, MORA 67 Rangers head coach James Branch was never happier about a loss. Both he and Peñasco head coach Tom Shields were counting points in the final minutes, because second place in the dis-

trict was going to be determined by point differential. The Panthers (14-11, 5-3) turned a 34-all tie at the half of a 2AA game in Sen. Joseph Montoya Gymnasium into a 12-point lead with 2 minutes left, but Mora (11-15, 5-3) battled back to get the margin into single digits and secure the second seed for the district tournament next week. Branch didn’t explain the situation to his team, which had beaten Peñasco 86-72 on Feb. 8, until a timeout with the margin at its zenith. “I didn’t want that to be in their thought process during the game,” Branch said. “You never know how that will affect them. It was crazy. I have never coached to not lose by more than 14 points.” Mora got 20 points from Jerome Alcon, while Casimiro Fresquez had 18 and Jeremiah Olivas 11. Alex Gonzales led the Panthers with 33 points, and Isaac Trujillo added 18. GIRLS

MORA 60, PEñASCO 32 The Rangerettes completed the season with their eighth straight win to stay undefeated in 2AA. While Mora (21-3, 8-0) won convincingly, it allowed Peñasco (7-18, 1-6) to attempt 28 free throws, and head coach Mark Cassidy said the Rangerettes have a lot to work to do defensively before the state tournament. “We weren’t as aggressive or as sharp on defense,” he said. “We need to tighten up a lot of screws before state.” Gerty Herrera had 18 points to lead Mora

while Destiny Pacheco scored 15. Charlyna Gonzales scored 12 points to lead the Lady Panthers and Shannon Medina had 11.

ST. MICHAEL’S 54, SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 38 After a poor defensive effort against Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory on Tuesday, the Lady Horsemen finished the regular season with a home win against the Lady Braves in a 5AAA game by playing sound defense while also not allowing SFIS’s best player to score in double digits. “All week, we decided to play a team defense,” St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero said. “The girls communicated well and were able to take Kayla Joe out of the picture.” A.J. Lovato scored 15 points to lead St. Michael’s (15-11, 3-3) while Cristiana Gabaldon added 10. The Lady Braves (9-17, 0-6) were led by Victoria Lovato with 13 points. The Lady Horsemen finished third in the district, and will play the Lady Braves in the opening round of the 5AAA tournament next week.

North Carolina rallies to beat No. 5 Duke The Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Marcus Paige scored all 13 of his points in the second half, including two big baskets in the final 2½ minutes, to help UNC 74 North Carolina beat No. 5 Duke 74-66 on 5 Duke 66 Thursday night for their eighth straight win. Senior Leslie McDonald added a seasonhigh 21 points for the Tar Heels (19-7, 9-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who rallied from 11 down in the second half to snap a two-game home losing streak to the Blue Devils (21-6, 10-4). It was by far North Carolina’s most impressive win during the run that has helped the Tar Heels dig out from an 0-3 ACC start. NO. 13 MICHIGAN ST. 94, PURDUE 79 In West Lafayette, Ind., Gary Harris scored 25 points, Adreian Payne added 23, and Michigan State hit a school-record 17 3-pointers.

Harris and Payne combined to make 10 3-pointers for the Spartans (22-5, 11-3 Big Ten), who made 13 3s in the first half. Kendall Stephens had 19 points and Ronnie Johnson added 17 for the Boilermakers (15-11, 5-8), who have lost two of three. NO. 21 CONNECTICUT 68, TEMPLE 55 In Philadelphia, Shabazz Napier had

17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists for Connecticut. Ryan Boatright added 14 points and DeAndre Daniels had 13 for the Huskies (21-5, 9-4 American Athletic Conference), who won their fourth straight despite shooting 2 for 13 from 3-point range. Quenton DeCosey scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half for Temple (7-18, 2-11), at one point scoring all of his team’s points for more than a 13-minute stretch. He grabbed a career-high eight rebounds. NO. 22 MEMPHIS 64, RUTGERS 59 In Piscataway, N.J., Michael Dixon Jr. scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half for Memphis, which led from start to finish. The Tigers (20-6, 9-4 American Athletic), coming off an overtime loss at No. 21 Connecticut on Saturday, got 11 points from Joe Jackson and 10 each from Shaq Goodwin and Austin Nichols. Kadeem Jack had 18 of his 22 points in the second half and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Scarlet Knights (10-17, 4-10), while Myles Mack and Malick Kone had 10 points apiece.

More: Coach lauds young Tapia’s dedication Continued from Page B-1 clear the last thing he wanted to know was who he wrestled next. “Just tell me to be on the wrestling mat and I’ll be there,” Tapia said. “That’s what I like. Last year when we went to nationals, I told my dad [Johnny Tapia], ‘Tell me when I’m up and I’ll be right there. Don’t tell me who it is.’ ” Johnny Tapia, who is an assistant coach at Capital, saw his son make significant strides over the past few years. While Jose has been wrestling since he was 4, it seems that his small stature sometimes was too big an obstacle for him to overcome. “He was late bloomer, but he puts in the time,” Johnny said. “He works hard.” It’s that work ethic that distinguishes him, even as a fresh-

man. So much so, that Capital head coach Marquis Gallegos made him a co-captain. “He loves the sport beyond just wrestling,” Gallegos said. “Yeah, he has the dedication that a lot of freshmen just don’t have. He gets up, goes for a run. He comes to our practice, and then he goes to one more practice after that. In the summer time, I’ll be out on my runs and I see him doing the same thing. He knows what he wants, and it’s hard sometimes for kids to do that at that age.” Jose mixes that with an appreciation for the sport — and his fellow wrestlers. At the Cardinal Classic in Las Vegas, N.M. earlier this month, Jose paid Robertson’s Rico Montoya, a three-time state champion who is also undefeated, $30 for an old pair of wrestling shoes. The caveat being that

Montoya will sign those shoes after he graduates. “It says something about that kid, that he wants to being around the best, and wrestle the best,” Gallegos said. Jose will also watch the best. He search for matches that have been uploaded on YouTube, just to study wrestlers and their technique. His favorite is Derek St. John, a three-time All-American and defending national champion at 157 for Iowa. “I try to mimic them, copy them,” Jose said. “They are the best in the nation. If you’re like that, nobody is going to beat you.” Few wrestlers have been able to get the upper hand on Jose, and they reside outside the state. He took second place in the freshmen division at the NHSCA High School Wrestling

Championships in April of 2013, losing to Tyler Warner of Claymont, Ohio. Tapia held a 4-0 lead early, but found himself tied at 4 with just seconds remaining when Warner pinned him with :15 left in the match. Jose and his dad regularly travel across the nation during the spring and summer as he gets a healthy dose of club wrestling. Jose has found distinct difference in the level of competition in the state and nationwide. “Kids here in New Mexico, they’ll give up a takedown in a second,” Jose said. “Back east, those guys are scrambling, trying to get take down for like 20 seconds. Over there, they are going for ankles. They don’t want to give it up.” Neither does Jose, because the quest to be the best never ends.

Lott: Swimmer aiming for freestyle records Continued from Page B-1 individual events at most in the championships. In all, Lott qualified for seven events and posted Top-10 times in five of them. She didn’t dwell too much on which events she was going to do though, since she had her eyes set on the freestyle records — which is 53.36 for the 100 and 1:55.72 for the 200 — before the season even began. “I wouldn’t have been seeded as well in the butterfly,” she said. “It’s just not my best event. It was an easy decision

because I wanted to do [the freestyles] at the beginning of the year.” She essentially made that decision while doing club swimming, which is something that all 15 Los Alamos state qualifiers do year-round. It is at those clubs that the Hilltoppers do the bulk of their work. “Clubs are a lot more committed and serious than high school,” Lott said. “You’re more focused on it, whereas in high school most people do swimming to be social.” First-year head coach Stu Corliss said those clubs are

what prepare so many of his swimmers to qualify for the state championships. It also helps that the majority of his athletes’ only sport is swimming. “We have a dedicated group of swimmers that make the coach look good,” he said. Lott is one of those dedicated to her craft, but she also has a genetic advantage. Her mother, Wendy, was a swimmer at Louisiana State University. When Lott was 9, Wendy sent her to the pool to begin what would become a dominant high school career.

“She signed me up one day, so I just went with it,” Lott said. “I was good at it and I was kind of clumsy at other sports, so I decided to be a swimmer.” Now Lott hopes that swimming will take her to an out-ofstate college, since she believes that is her only skill that will take her out of New Mexico. But before all that, she has to focus on the state championships, which she has been looking forward to for a long time. “I’m really excited and nervous at the same time,” Lott said. “I’ve been waiting for this meet all year.”

After Sochi, what’s next for Winter Olympics? By Stephen Wilson The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — The sheer cost, size and scale of the Sochi Olympics has outstripped anything done before. The question for future Winter Games is clear: Can anyone — should anyone — try to top that? Sochi has showcased President Vladimir Putin’s grand project, using the Olympics to reshape the entire Black Sea resort region, with brandnew facilities and infrastructure built from scratch. The huge financial investment, massive security apparatus and litany of logistical issues has thrown up major challenges to potential future Winter Olympic host cities. Can they afford it? Will the public support it? Should the games keep going to emerging and developing countries or return to more traditional winter sports nations? Will the weather be cold enough? Under new President Thomas Bach, the International Olympic Committee is weighing changes to the bidding process that would cut down on the costs for applicant and host cities. “The idea that perhaps a more traditional country would produce a smaller scale games with a different legacy, it’s entirely possible,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams says. The fact is, potential host cities have been spooked by the $51 billion price tag associated with Sochi. Most of that cash isn’t for the games themselves; it’s for roads, railways, hotels and other long-term regeneration projects. Still, the international mood has shifted. Proposed bids for the 2022 Winter Olympics from Munich and St. Moritz-Davos were rejected last year by voters in Germany and Switzerland because of financial and environmental concerns. Stockholm recently pulled out of the 2022 race after Swedish politicians said the costs were too high. “A lot of cities have found this a little scary, that so much money has to be invested,” senior Norwegian IOC member Gerhard Heiberg told The Associated Press. “People in western Europe say this is too much for us, too much investment, too difficult to run. We need to get more cities interested. It’s a question of cost — as little as possible.”

Considering fairness The next Winter Games will be held in 2018 in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Like Sochi, it’s a new destination, the first Winter Olympics in Korea, and a city with which many in the world are unfamiliar. Unlike Sochi, Pyeongchang already has many existing facilities in place. The infrastructure budget is a modest $7 billion. “We need to always give a chance to developing winter sports nations to develop what they need to do,” Adams says. “We can’t always just go to countries where they’ve got everything already. That wouldn’t help to spread the games and it wouldn’t be fair, either.” Next to be decided is the site of the 2022 Games. A low-key bidding campaign has been waged behind the scenes in Sochi among the five candidate cities: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Krakow, Poland; Lviv, Ukraine; and Oslo, Norway. The IOC executive board will cut the field to a short list of finalists in early July. The full IOC will select the winner on July 31, 2015, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Beijing, which hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics, would seem a longshot after the IOC awarded two consecutive games to Asia — Pyeongchang for 2018 and Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Games. It would seem impossible for Lviv to be able to overcome the political crisis and unrest in Ukraine, especially after the clashes that claimed at least 25 lives in Kiev on Tuesday. Krakow is an interesting option at the heart of Europe, but its plans for holding some ski events across the border in Slovakia pose tricky logistical issues. That could leave Oslo and Almaty as the top contenders. Oslo hosted the 1952 Winter Olympics, and the Norwegian town of Lillehammer staged the 1994 Games. Oslo would seem to fit the mold perfectly. It is a secure choice with a winter sports tradition, existing facilities and an oil-rich economy to boot. Norway’s bid also offers the legacy of Lillehammer, considered one of the best Winter Games ever, acclaimed for its colorful and passionate crowds.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY

Canada women beat U.S. in OT for gold By Jimmy Golen

The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — The puck skittered the length of the ice on its way toward the empty Canadian net before clanging off the post and stopping in front of the crease. It was — for a few more seconds, at least — still a Canada 3 one-goal game. U.S. 2 Then MariePhilip Poulin scored with 54.6 seconds left in regulation, completing Canada’s comeback from a two-goal deficit and sending the game into overtime. Once there, she added the gold medal-winning goal to beat the United States 3-2 — the fourth consecutive Olympic women’s hockey title for the sport’s birthplace. “I think it always gets better, for sure,” Poulin, who also scored twice in the Vancouver final four years ago, said Thursday night with her second gold medal draped around her neck. “It’s so hard to get here and to bring it back [home] is amazing.” Shannon Szabados made 27 saves for Canada, which has won 20 straight Olympic games since the Nagano final in 1998. That was the only gold medal for the United States, which lost in the Olympic final to Canada in all three tries since then and earned a bronze in 2006. Meghan Duggan and Alex Carpenter scored for the Americans. Jesse Vetter made 28 saves, shutting the powerful Canadians down for 56 minutes, 34 seconds before Brianne Jenner knocked a seemingly harmless shot off a defender’s knee and into the net. With Szabados pulled for an extra skater, U.S. forward Kelli Stack sent a clearing shot down the ice, missing a potential game-clinching empty-net goal by inches. Even after insisting her confidence never wavered, Canada defenseman Jocelyne Larocque’s eyes grew wide when asked about the near clincher. “I was freaked out at that point,” she said. “It hit the post and I went, ‘You know, it happened for a reason. We’re going to get that goal.’ ” Stack said she could see the puck had the wrong angle, but she didn’t worry because the U.S. still had a 2-1 lead with just over a minute to play. About 30 seconds later, with the goalie still off, Poulin tied it and sent the game into overtime. “It would have given us a bigger cushion,” said Stack, who played at Boston College. “I’ve done that once before in college, and it’s the worst feeling in the world.”

After six tense minutes of the extra period, the U.S. picked up a power play when Catherine Ward was sent off for cross-checking. But five seconds later, Jocelyne Lamoureux was called for slashing for swiping at the Szabados’ pads after a save. And during a sloppy player change by the Americans, five-time Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser got free on a breakaway before Hilary Knight caught her from behind and she went sprawling. It could have been called a penalty shot. It could have been no call. (Knight denied making any contact at all. And, when asked about the officiating, U.S. coach Katey Stone issued only a terse, “No comment.”) But Knight was sent to the penalty box for cross-checking. With the 4-on-3 advantage, the Canadians worked the puck around and over to Poulin, who knocked it into the open net and set off the celebration on the bench and among the Maple Leaf-waving fans. “Unfortunately, when you let other factors come in, it can bounce either way. That’s what happened today,” Knight said. “It’s heartbreaking, and you go four years, and you think you’ve got the game in the bag, and something happens. It’s unfortunate, but this group has represented our country at an outstanding level. So can’t really be too heartbroken about it.” Switzerland beat Sweden earlier Thursday for the bronze medal at the Bolshoy Ice Dome, where the women moved after playing the preliminaries at the smaller Shayba Arena next door. Switzerland goalie

Florence Schelling, who led the tournament with 253 saves in six games, was named Most Valuable Player. The 10,639 fans at the final included the Canadian men’s team that completed a sweep the hockey gold medals in Vancouver four years ago. The Canadian women also beat their southern neighbors three times in a pre-Olympic tour this fall before coach Dan Church quit unexpectedly in December and the Americans won four straight times heading into the Olympics. Then, in a rare round-robin matchup between the sports’ two top powers, the Canadians won, 3-2. They extended their Olympic winning streak over the U.S. to four consecutive games. “For us, it’s just a great feeling,” said coach Kevin Dineen, who replaced Church. “And for me, it’s even more special because it’s the first one.” Less than 24 hours before the Canadians and Americans were to meet in the same rink in the men’s semifinals, fans wearing Maple Leaf sweaters and Stars and Stripe scarves tried to outshout each other — with a healthy number of locals chanting “Ro-ssi-ya!” for their longdeparted hockey teams. The pro-Canada crowd grew louder after the first goal, but the second one quieted them until the flurry at the end of regulation. The hard-hitting first period featured five penalties and no goals. It was still scoreless when Duggan took a drop pass from Lamoureux at the left circle and wristed the puck into the top corner of the net past a screened Szabados.

MEN’S HOCKEY

U.S.-Canada rivalry hits semis By Greg Beacham

The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — The U.S.-Canada hockey rivalry starts in childhood, particularly for players who grow up near the border. Although they’re often pals and teammates in the NHL, their friendships evaporate if they’re ever lucky enough to face off at the Olympics. “There’s a lot of animosity, a lot of feelings like there’s something to prove between both teams,” Canada forward Jonathan Toews said. The rivalry gets its latest chapter at the Bolshoy Ice Dome on Friday in the Olympic men’s hockey semifinals. It has plenty in common with Sweden’s rivalry with Finland, which continues in the other semifinal in Sochi shortly before the Americans face the Canadians. Each game is a rematch of a goldmedal match from one of the past two Olympics. The winners will advance to Sunday with a prize that’s nearly as beautiful as a gold medal: a victory over their biggest rivals. “Growing up, it’s always the team you have to beat to win a championship,” U.S. defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk said. “We’re used to it now. We know we’re always going to have to play Canada if we want to accomplish our goal.” With 24 American and Canadian players returning from the Vancouver Olympics’ decisive game, which famously ended with Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal, there’s no shortage of motivation. There’s also a wealth of mutual respect between

North America’s hockey powers, who have both gone unbeaten through four games in Sochi. “It’s a team that you want to be able to beat to say that you played through the best,” U.S. forward Patrick Kane said. “You’ve got to respect them, but at the same time, we have a chance to prove we’re in the same sentence with Canada.” The U.S. hasn’t won a men’s hockey medal outside of North America since 1972, while Canada hasn’t done it since 1994. Canada has won two of the last three Olympic golds, but the Americans are in an ideal position for that breakthrough win and a chance to win their first hockey gold medals since the Miracle on Ice in 1980. They’ve had the most impressive run in the Sochi tournament, getting consistent offense from four lines led by Phil Kessel, who has five of the Americans’ 19 goals. They also earned the tournament’s most memorable victory when T.J.

Oshie shot — and shot, and shot, and shot — to stardom in a shootout victory over Russia. But nobody is playing defense like the Canadians, who have yielded just three goals in four games — admittedly against some relatively unintimidating opponents. Goalie Carey Price has been solid for Canada, while Jonathan Quick has been equally good for the Americans. “It’s what it’s all about, CanadaUSA,” said Toews, Kane’s teammate in Chicago. “It’s become even a bigger rivalry than Canada-Russia. … It doesn’t get any better than that, playing for your country and going against the United States. There are millions of kids that grow up dreaming of this situation. We have a chance of making a dream come true.” Nearly everybody on the ice will have a valuable NHL teammate or lifelong friend in the other uniform, but that only makes the competition more visceral. Shattenkirk and U.S. center David Backes will go against Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester, their top defensive pairing back home with the St. Louis Blues. “We had that conversation before we left,” Backes said. “We’re going to wear our country’s colors and play as hard as we can for our countries. We’ll figure out those relationships when we get back to our respective teams. Maybe it takes a cold beverage and someone has to buy dinner, but we’ll smooth that out after.

Gold: Wagner criticizes scoring Continued from Page B-1 overshadowed by an even younger teammate. But on Thursday night, the 17-yearold Sotnikova looked comfortable and unburdened by the pressure of the host nation, becoming Russia’s first gold medalist in women’s Olympic figure skating. In the signature moment of the games for Russians, Sotnikova defeated defending champion Yuna Kim of South Korea. Both women skated nearly flawless programs, but Sotnikova completed one more decisive triple jump. “I first dreamed to be at the Olympics after the nationals in 2010,” Sotnikova said. “And when I watched the games in Vancouver, I really wanted to qualify for the next games. I knew it won’t be easy. There are so many new talented girls around.” Well, not really in Russia. Not until Sotnikova and 15-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia developed into junior world champions. And while much-heralded Lipnitskaia was stumbling in Sochi, Sotnikova soared. When she won the free skate, she further confirmed Russian command of the sport. “This is the happiest day in my life,” Sotnikova said. “I simply stepped on the ice today and realized how much I like what I’m doing and skated really good.” The Russians have won three figure skating gold medals at these Olympics: women’s, pairs and team. Sotnikova did not skate in the team event, and that provided incentive for her in the individual competition. “When I found out that I was not in the team, it was hurtful. I felt ugly inside,” she said. “Maybe it is all for the best — an advantage for me to make me so mad.” Sotnikova was considered a long shot against the likes of Kim, who announced her retirement after the free skate; Italy’s Carolina Kostner, who took bronze; Japan’s Mao Asada; and even Americans Gracie Gold and Ashley Wagner. But she won it all, giving Russia or the Soviet Union 27 Olympic gold medals in the sport. They own five men’s golds, 13 in pairs, seven in ice dance, and took the first team event this year. Sotnikova was watching the scores on a monitor in the media area when she realized she won. She ran waving her arms in the air before finding her coach for a warm hug. When she got onto the podium for the flower ceremony, to raucous chants of “Rossi-ya,” she jumped up and down like a teenager whose Olympic goal had come true. “It’s the Olympics. And it was a long way for me,” she said. “To compete at the Olympic Games, I dreamed of any medal, but frankly speaking, I wanted a gold one.” Lipnitskaia was fifth. “I wanted to skate my best today but it didn’t work,” she said. “I’ve lost control over my jumps— tiredness and emotions.” Asada was third in the free skate after finishing 16th in Wednesday’s short program and wound up sixth. Sotnikova trailed Kim by just .28 going into Thursday, and she overcame that by winning the free skate 149.95 to Kim’s 144.19. The final totals were 224.59 for Sotnikova, 219.11 for Kim and 216.73 for Kostner. Skating last, Kim needed a repeat of her Vancouver performance to hold onto the gold. She nailed six triple jumps, one less than Sotnikova, and Kim’s artistry couldn’t make up the difference. “At that time I could die for gold in the Olympics,” she said of 2010. “But that desire, that strong wish, was not as present. The motivation was a problem, I think.” Gold finished fourth, Wagner seventh and 15-year-old American Polina Edmunds ninth. Wagner didn’t complain about her score, but criticized a scoring system that invites skepticism. Nine judges score each skater, and the individual judges’ scorecards are not released. “People do not want to watch a sport where they see someone skate lights out and they can’t depend on that person to be the one who pulls through,” Wagner said. “We’ve all been on the receiving end of it, and we’ve all been on the side where you don’t really get the benefit of the doubt. People need to be held accountable. “They need to get rid of the anonymous judging.”

Bedwetter fears a night with girlfriend Dear Annie: My girlfriend of two years has just asked whether we should move in together. I am currently living with my parents, so we would be living at her place. I’m not sure how to respond to “Dayna’s” request. I don’t want her to think I don’t like her. But at the age of 27, I still wet the bed. Whenever I am at Dayna’s place, I never let myself fall asleep for fear of soiling both her mattress and our relationship. I always find a reason to leave before morning. How do I broach this subject with her? — Bedwetter Dear Bedwetter: Childhood enuresis that persists into adulthood often runs in families. (Adult-onset enuresis may be a result of diabetes, sleep apnea, urinary tract infections and neurological disorders.) First, see your doctor to find out whether you can get this under control. Discuss medications and exercises to increase bladder capacity. Limit your beverage intake so you aren’t drinking past late afternoon. Alcohol and caffeine can aggravate the condition. You are under no obligation to move in with Dayna regardless of the reason. But this issue is likely to come up at some point in the future, so you should work on the conversation you will need to have. It is important that you be honest, that you make it clear that you are working on it (which you should be) and that you will take precautions so she is not inconvenienced. We hope she will care enough about you to be understanding. Dear Annie: I need some advice as to whether I should report a neighbor to our local sheriff or state police. He wears a loaded revolver on his hip all the time, and I don’t know whether he has a permit to carry. This neighbor frightens me. He once said, “Nobody fools with me,”

and then patted the gun. None of my neighbors likes or respects this man. I have yet to meet a single person who speaks well of him. He is weird and scary. My concern is that this potential crackpot could go bananas and shoot someone. I would feel terrible if there was something I could have done to prevent a tragedy. What should I do? — Concerned Neighbor in Pennsylvania Dear Concerned: Being “weird and scary” does not prevent your neighbor from obtaining a license to carry a gun in your state. This is a problem with people who have no prior evidence of mental illness, but who may, in fact, be mentally unbalanced. We have no way of knowing whether they will shoot up a school or a post office until they do. If you suspect your neighbor does not have a valid license, you can report him to the police and ask that it be checked out. Otherwise, there’s not much you can do but keep an eye open for signs of increased agitation, major depression or out-of-control behavior. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Less Generous,” who sent presents to the grandkids and made casseroles for the neighbors, but never received a thank-you of any kind. Forget them. They are ungrateful people. Instead, give your gifts and energy to people who will appreciate them. Visit nursing and care centers. Spend money on toys for kids in hospitals. Give to the needy. A lot of nice people would be thrilled to receive a casserole. Help those who are grateful. It gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling. You can still send a card to the ingrates if you want to. — H.S. in Omaha, Neb. Dear H.S.: Giving to those in need is always a good alternative. Thanks.

Mayoral candidates toast city’s future at forum Part of event focuses on plans to grow business on St. Michael’s Drive By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Mayoral hopefuls Patti Bushee and Javier Gonzales toast to Santa Fe’s future Thursday night. DANIEL CHACÓN/THE NEW MEXICAN

For weeks, mayoral opponents Patti Bushee and Javier Gonzales have been on the attack, calling each other out on their voting records and trying to trip each other up. But at a forum Thursday, the two candidates kept the peace and even raised a beer and toasted to Santa Fe’s future at the end of the night.

“We have to share a beer. This is one of our last big forums, so this deserves some kind of celebration,” Bushee told Gonzales near the end of the event, which drew at least 300 people to the Greer Garson Theatre at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design. “I’ll share a beer with you,” Gonzales responded, generating applause. “We’ll have one for Bill,” quipped Bushee, referring to the third mayoral candidate, Bill Dimas, who has refused to participate in any public forums with his opponents. The event was organized by MIX Santa Fe, a collaboration of young professionals and others that hosts

coordinator of MIX Santa Fe, who is also a regular guest on her show. Part of the forum centered on RE: MIKE, a plan to breathe new life into the St. Michael’s Drive corridor. Both candidates vowed to push the plan forward if elected mayor. “It’s our opportunity to really grow an economy where we match the talents of this university with the public sector and private investment,” Gonzales said. “When I think of RE: MIKE, I think of an area where you have that perfect mix of high-density housing that’s affordable to young workers.

monthly events “for personal contact and networking.” The forum, which had been billed as a debate, was unlike any before. For the first hour, audience members mingled and sipped beer from Dual Brewing Co. while a DJ played music. When the forum got underway, moderator Julia Goldberg, host of The Julia Goldberg Morning Show, worked to keep the mood fun and upbeat, starting with the first question. “Whoever gets closest to the correct [answer] will go first,” Goldberg told the two candidates. “At what age did Zane Fischer begin to lose his hair?” she said, referring to a co-

Rodeo Property accuses Rodeo de Santa Fe of financial irregularities in fight over indoor arena

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

odeo Property Inc., the nonprofit that owns the rodeo grounds on Santa Fe’s south side, filed a complaint Thursday in state District Court against Rodeo de Santa Fe, accusing its sister nonprofit of financial irregularities. The lawsuit is the latest salvo in an increasingly ugly dispute between the two organizations over plans to build a $30 million indoor arena at the rodeo grounds. In January, Rodeo de Santa Fe posted a letter on its website signed by five board members saying that relations between the two groups had “deteriorated to the point of open adversity.” The letter charged that some changes made to the arena proposal had made it a “much less appropriate facility for the Rodeo and other projected events.” The letter also cited a decision by Rodeo Property to evict Jim Butler, president of the rodeo board, who had lived in a mobile home on the grounds for 14 years. Rodeo Property is asking the court to order Rodeo de Santa Fe to account for all financial transactions and to appoint a receiver to manage the rodeo’s accounts and finances until the action is resolved. The complaint also cites concerns that the rodeo was using its nonprofit, tax-exempt ID number for the benefit of the Santa Fe Barrel Racers group. Rodeo de Santa Fe was founded in 1949 by Austin “Slim” Green and Gene Petchesky, and 10 years later, the organization bought the 100 acres off Rodeo Road, where it has presented a rodeo each summer for decades. In 2004, Rodeo Property was formed to own and lease the grounds. It permits other entities to conduct events there. The two nonprofits have worked so closely, according to Rodeo de Santa Fe’s January letter, that many board members “did not realize that there were two separate organizations.” However, a rift developed between the group that manages the land and the group that runs the rodeo, with both alleging hostility by the other. Butler said Thursday he could not comment on the complaint because he had not yet read it. He did confirm the eviction notice but said he had until May 31 to vacate the

State gets small bit of relief from drought Conditions for fire risks high despite modest moisture By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

residence. David Copher, president of Rodeo Property, also declined to comment on the complaint. According to the letter, it was Butler and Copher who originally came up with the idea of the indoor arena. Rodeo Property already has secured $100,000 from the city of Santa Fe, $81,000 from the state and $19,000 from the county for a feasibility study for the planned indoor arena. The group also received a $230,000 appropriation from the

Legislature during the 2013 session to complete architectural drafting. The new structure could hold between 5,000 and 6,000 people, depending on the event, the study said. In addition to rodeo use, the indoor arena could be a venue for for concerts, festivals, expos, athletic events, film productions and an emergency relief shelter for livestock. The study projected that the arena would see about 78 to 98 events a year, and that it could employ up to 230 people and gener-

ate some $1 million for the city and state. Some neighbors are opposed to the expansion, saying they are worried about increased traffic and noise. Copher said Thursday the arena project will continue to move forward. And both he and Butler confirmed there will be a rodeo on the grounds this summer.

Recent moisture helped New Mexico’s water fortunes ever so slightly. The U.S. Drought Monitor map released Thursday showed none of the state in exceptional drought conditions, the worst possible level. A little more than 14 percent of the state, covering a band over the northeast and central counties, was in extreme drought. The Rio Grande is holding steady, with water supply forecasts helped in part by precipitation in the river’s southern Colorado headwaters. Snow telemetry sites in the Upper Rio Grande Basin were doing well. Beartown had 61 inches of snow, with a water equivalent of almost 16 inches when melted down. Molas Lake had 58 inches of snow equivalent to more than 16 inches of water. The snowpack in New Mexico remained thin. The snow telemetry site closest to Ski Santa Fe had 26 inches of snow Thursday, equal to 5.2 inches of water. Taos Powderhorn, at 11,057 feet, had 32 inches of snow equal to a little more than 9 inches of water. Through March 1, temperatures across New Mexico are likely to be above normal. Globally, average temperatures in January were the fourth warmest on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Depend-

Two judges in southeastern N.M. stop officiating weddings Clerks say decisions were made prior to state high court ruling making same-sex marriage legal The Associated Press

CARLSBAD — Judges in two southeastern New Mexico counties recently announced they will no longer officiate weddings after the state’s high court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal. The announcement means judges in Eddy and Chaves counties won’t offi-

ciate any civil marriage ceremonies, from straight or same-sex couples, the Carlsbad Current-Argus reports. In December, the New Mexico Supreme Court decided it was unconstitutional to deny marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. The Eddy County Clerk’s Office said the decision was made a few months ago. Jeff Ortega, chief deputy clerk for

Chaves County, said judges informed the county of their decision months before the Supreme Court decision. State law does not require judges to officiate weddings, but county clerks are required to issue licenses that must be signed by a judge, minister or tribal representative. “I don’t have a problem with who wants to get married,” said Eddy County Magistrate Judge Henry Castaneda. “But we don’t have to compromise our beliefs.” Meanwhile, Carlsbad Municipal Judge David Redford said his caseload

was too much to bear to continue performing marriage ceremonies. Arthur Pepin, director of the state’s Administrative Offices of the Court, said the department never had an official marriage policy, but received numerous calls about the issue after the ruling was made. The decision, Pepin said is optional but he doesn’t know how many judges in the state have adopted the practice of not performing marriages. “We understand it is a sensitive matter for so many people,” he said. “But you have to treat people equally.”

“They either perform marriages or they don’t,” he added. In Lea County, however, two judges in Lovington did notify the county clerk that they still were going to continue to officiate weddings, said County Clerk Pat Chappelle. Chappelle said the county has not received a significant spike in marriage licenses since the ruling, but the process has been a little slower because of a shortage of people who can legally sign off on marriage licenses.

Parking meter rate increase sparks outcry in Taos By J.R. Logan

The Taos News

TAOS — An increase in parking meter rates in Taos could be rescinded following an outcry from downtown merchants who complain the higher fees have killed business in the historic district. Taos Mayor Darren Córdova told The Taos News the council will take the issue up at its Tuesday meeting. Córdova said he can’t be sure how the council will vote, but public pressure — especially in the weeks before the municipal election — might be enough to sway the council to

return to the old rates. The town implemented new parking fees and fines in November. The hourly cost to park went from 50 cents to $1, and fines for meter violations rose from $10 to $20. Councilor Rudy Abeyta, who’s running for re-election in the March 4 race, said there was a “strong probability” that the council would return the meter rate to its previous level. If the council walks back the rates, it might quell outraged merchants who say parking lots and stores have been empty since the changes were implemented.

But returning to the old meter rates would do nothing to address a long-standing and complex downtown parking problem that has plagued the town for decades. When the town announced the new meter rates in October, officials said the changes followed several meetings meant to get input from downtown merchants. But the meetings were not widely advertised and were attended by fewer than a dozen business owners. The issue of the actual rates already had been decided at that point. Jay Moore, owner of Moby

Dickens Bookshop, did attend those meetings and said it didn’t seem like the town was seeking input. “To me, it seemed more like [town officials] were telling us what was coming down the pipeline, not necessarily asking us. It just didn’t come across as a cooperative process.” The change in rates was only part of an overhaul for the parking situation, which included fixing broken meters and ramping up enforcement. The Taos Town Council never approved the increase as an independent agenda item. Instead, the increase was

approved last summer as part of the 2013 budget, which projected the new rates would generate an additional $113,000. Since the fees were doubled, merchants have revolted. Moore and another shopkeeper from the John Dunn Shops surveyed more than 200 downtown merchants and employees and found that the overwhelming majority — 88 percent — said the higher rates and fines have had a negative impact on business. “It’s hostile,” said Cullen Stevens, owner of G. Robinson Old Prints and Maps and the other

organizer of the survey. Town Manager Oscar Rodríguez points out that the new rates have only been in place for a few months, and the uproar from business owners comes during a traditionally low point in the tourist season. Following a meeting between the town and business leaders last week, Rodríguez agreed to increase the time limit on meters from two to four hours, but he told those in attendance that he couldn’t “recommend” the council go back to 50 cents an hour. The Taos News is a sister paper of The Santa Fe New Mexican.

BILL BLACKWELL The wonderful Bill Blackwell went to be with Jesus on February 18, 2014 in Santa Fe. He is survived by his devoted wife of 33 years, Barbara Blackwell. Bill had a great passion for this life, and a great love of God, which went hand in hand. Bill’s enormous curiosity never waned as he grew older, and his greatest interest in this world was for other people. Virtually no one who crossed his path escaped his attention, and he could and would talk with anyone about the stories of their lives. This interest flowed from Bill’s compassion for others, and his desire to help them whenever he could. It also flowed from his faith. Bill’s life began in Baltimore on April 29, 1944. His father, Noah Blackwell, was a military man, and his family’s movements throughout this country and Europe fostered Bill’s lifelong love of travel. In his middle school years, his family - Noah, mother Vera Willene, and sister Linda - settled in Albuquerque. Bill, who was passionate about the desert landscape of New Mexico, would live in this state for the rest of his life. In high school, Bill worked some summers as a wrangler at a dude ranch in Colorado. But his most important summer was spent at the Billy Graham Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair in Queens, New York, where he was able to spread his faith to many people from all over. In his youth, Bill was also an avid Boy Scout, swimmer, lifeguard, and - later - scuba diver. Bill had a passion for classical music, and his resonant voice and articulate manner of speaking led to his work as a radio announcer on a classical music station. He later joined KGGM Television in Albuquerque, where he worked as a producer, on-air television reporter, and weekend anchor, jobs that he loved and spoke about fondly throughout his life. Later in life, after Bill retired from his long career with the State of New Mexico working as a systems analyst for the General Services Department, Information Systems Division, he returned to his love of journalism. Bill freelanced at Journal Santa Fe and volunteered at KSFR Radio, for which his broadcast stories received multiple awards. Bill also volunteered his extraordinary voice in the service of the blind, transforming books into audio recordings. Bill loved formal learning as well. He attended the University of New Mexico, receiving a bachelor’s degree in Russian studies and political science, and later earned a master’s degree in public administration. In 1980, Bill met Barbara Waidell at First Baptist Church in Santa Fe. Bill was teaching the Sunday school class Barbara attended the second day she lived in Santa Fe. Bill taught the Bible for over 33 years. Bill was devoted to Barbara, and to their dogs Barley, Willie, Duke, Daisy and Peaches. For a number of years, Bill faced serious medical challenges, but he did not let these challenges sap his enjoyment of life, his family, his friends, and God. Bill earned his pilot’s license, but when his eyesight no longer allowed him to fly a plane himself, he still enjoyed flying to see other countries. Bill was an insatiable reader of books, including the Bible, and he devised ways to continue to absorb knowledge, understanding, and faith even when small print eluded him (and he was grateful that technology like the Ipad appeared just in time for him). For years, Bill cared for his beloved mother, Vera Willene, who came to live in Santa Fe with Bill and Barbara and who passed away in 2009. And Bill was very close to his church family, at Calvary Chapel in Arroyo Seco, and others in the Santa Fe Christian community. Bill is preceded in death by father Noah Blackwell and mother Vera Willene Blackwell of Albuquerque. He is survived by his devoted wife, Barbara Waidell Blackwell; sister, Linda Liskow (Barry) of Kansas City, KS; niece, Samantha Liskow (Matt) and their daughter, Cecelia; nephew, Michael Liskow (Virginie) of Brooklyn, NY and their son, Remi; uncle, James Love (Hazel) of Trade, TN; aunt Patsy (Eddy) Cavanaugh of Greenville, SC; cousin, David Nielsen (Debby) and special son, Thomas of Mt. Airy, MD; cousin, Shirley Nielsen of West Palm, FL; cousin, Yvonne Strupp (Kenneth) of Huntington, MD; cousin, Michael Angelos (Kerry) of Monkton, MD; and Connie Angelos of Terry Hall MD. A visitation will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2014 from 9:30 - 10 a.m. at First Baptist Church 1605 Old Pecos Trail followed by a Funeral Service at 10 a.m. Dion Cordova of Truth Ministries Calvary Chapel will be officiating.

Tribal objects shown reverence Artifacts bought at auction treated as living beings By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Two dozen ceremonial items bought last year at auction in France are set to return to Arizona in a way that pays reverence to the beliefs of American Indian tribes. The masks and hoods invoke the ancestral spirits of the Hopi and Apache tribes — who consider them living beings in keeping with tradition — and the expectation is they will be treated as such. That means shipping the sacred items free of plastics, bubble wrap or other synthetic material that would be suffocating. The items also should face the direction of the rising sun, have space to breathe, and be spoken to during their journey. The shipping reflects the deeply sensitive nature of the items that the Los Angeles-based Annenberg Foundation quietly bought for $530,000 at a contested Paris auction two months ago with the goal of sending them back to their tribal homes in eastern Arizona. The Hopi and two Apache tribes believe the return of the objects, kept largely out of public view, will put tribal members on a healing path and help restore harmony not only in their communities but among humanity. “The elders have told us the reason we have the ills of society, suicides, murders, domestic violence, all these things, is we’re suffering because these things are gone and the harmony is gone,” said Vincent Randall, cultural director for the YavapaiApache Nation. The tribes say the items — 21 pieces are headed to the Hopi, two to the San Carlos

Apache and one to the White Mountain Apache — were taken from their reservations in the late 19th and 20th centuries at a time when collectors and museums competed for sensitive items from Western tribes. Tribal archaeologists say the objects also could have been traded for food and water, or unrightfully sold. In Hopi belief, the Kachina friends emerge from the earth and sky to connect people to the spiritual world and to their ancestors. Caretakers, who mostly are men, nurture the masks as if they are the living dead. Visitors to the Hopi reservation won’t see the masks displayed on shelves or in museums, and the ritual associated with them is a lifelong learning process. The San Carlos Apache recount a story of ceremonial items being wrenched from the hands of tribal members who were imprisoned by the U.S. military at Fort Apache. Journal entries from the time showed that hoods, as well as medicine bundles and other prayer items akin to crosses and holy water were taken, said Vernelda Grant, director of the Historic Preservation and Archaeology Department for the San Carlos Apache Tribe. “Of course you’re going to be emotional, and of course it’s going to have an effect on your health, the welfare of your people,” she said. “It kills them, it killed us emotionally. Those items were taken care of until those times came. We were forced to hand them over so we could get what? A box of rations, a blanket?” For the San Carlos Apache, the hoods represent the mountain spirits reincarnated in men who make and wear them in ceremonial dances for healing or when girls reach puberty. Each is fashioned by a tribal member endowed with a gift of being a spiritual leader. Once the hoods

In brief

Two pit bulls found dead, tied to tree with string The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office reported Thursday that two dead pit bulls were found on N.M. 41 tied to a tree with string. They apparently died from gunshot wounds. Capt. Adan Mendoza said the dogs had microchips but no collars, and the sheriff’s office is looking for their owners. A woman had reported seeing the dead dogs at 11:30 a.m. Thursday. The sheriff’s office reported last week that a motorist intentionally ran over and killed a dog in Lamy. And the week prior to that, the sheriff’s office reported that it had found three dogs shot in the La Cienega area. Two were dead when they were found, but another lived and was taken to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society.

Los Alamos man pleads guilty to bank robbery The U.S. Department of Justice reported that a 32-year-old Los Alamos man has pleaded guilty to bank robbery and fleeing from immigration officials. A news release from the Justice Department said Anthony Chavez admitted to robbing a Wells Fargo Bank branch at 5555 Montgomery Blvd. NE in Albuquerque on June 29.

have been used, they are put away in an undisclosed location in the mountains, known only to the spiritual leader through a revelation from the “ruler of life,” or God. Although the Apaches are among the most successful tribes in getting items within the United States returned to the tribes, they could do little to stop the sale in France. The auction house argued that the items rightfully were in private collectors’ hands. A judge hearing the Hopi’s plea to block the sale said that unlike the U.S., France has no laws to protect indigenous peoples. In a similar dispute in April, a Paris court ruled that such sales are legal. Around 70 masks were sold for some $1.2 million, despite protests and criticism from the U.S. government. The Annenberg Foundation took note of the Hopi Tribe’s heartbreaking loss and in December employed a well-orchestrated, secretive plan to successfully bid on most of the items at auction. The plan involved foundation employees placing bids by phone and keeping its plan private to save the tribes from potential disappointment. A French lawyer working for the Hopis and Survival International, Pierre Servan-Schreiber, said he spoke with the foundation using a discreet earpiece to keep the objects’ prices from skyrocketing as he bid on behalf of a U.S. benefactor. “This is how we achieved this brilliant result,” Servan-Schreiber said in an email. The foundation said it has complied with the tribes’ shipping requests to ensure the items are treated with care and respect. Those requests include shipping the items in specially designed, individual crates, turning them in a clockwise direction and entrusting them to the hands of men.

The release said two men had entered the bank. One man stood by the door, and another handed the teller a note demanding money and stating that he, the second man and two other people were armed. After receiving the money, the two men fled. The release stated security footage identified Chavez as one of the men involved in the robbery. The day after the incident, Chavez reportedly fled from a Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 10 near Deming. After a 10-minute chase involving speeds up to 110 mph, border officials and state police managed to stop him, the release said, adding that he then admitted that he robbed a bank the day before. Chavez has been in federal custody since his June 30 arrest. He faces a maximum of 40 years in prison, 20 years for each charge.

Two girls hospitalized after rollover on I-25 A vehicle rolled over on Interstate 25 near St. Francis Drive just before 5 p.m. Thursday, closing the southbound lanes for about two hours. Two girls riding in a 2000 Nissan Xterra were transferred to the hospital, said Celina Westervelt, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe Police Department. Both were wearing seat belts. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Speed might have been a contributing factor, a news release said. The driver, 18, and the passenger, 12, were expected to be released Thursday evening. The New Mexican

Records: Boy killed in argument over teen’s 4-month-old The Associated Press

LOS LUNAS — A 15-year-old New Mexico boy accused of killing his 12-year-old friend struck him following an argument over the teen’s infant daughter then stuffed his body under a mattress in an abandoned field, court documents said. The arrest warrant affidavit filed Wednesday said the suspect told investigators he hit Alex Madrid of Albuquerque in self-defense because Madrid tried to stab him with a screwdriver, the documents said. The teen told deputies he struck Madrid on the left side of his head and left him in a rural field outside Los Lunas. The suspect’s daughter is around 4 months old, Valencia County Sheriff’s Capt. Gary Hall said. The documents didn’t elaborate on the argument over the baby. The warrant, first obtained by KRQE-TV, also provided no additional details about how the suspect hit the victim, including whether a weapon or other object was used. Sheriff Louis Burkhard said Madrid appears to have died from severe trauma. The boy’s body was found Tuesday in the field littered

with trash and old tires in a rural, unincorporated area known as Meadow Lake, about 40 miles south of Albuquerque. He was last seen Sunday with the 15-year-old and his family, Burkhard said. The teen has been charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. His attorney, Cindy Mercer, didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press. But at a detention hearing Thursday, Mercer denied the allegation that the teen killed the 12-year-old and suggested her client can’t comprehend what’s happening. “Due to his low mental functioning, I don’t believe he understands the charges or his rights,” she said. According to the arrest warrant, the 15-year-old told investigators that he and Madrid went to vandalize an abandoned mobile home and were attacked by three males. The teen said he hit one of the attackers with a crowbar and fled the scene, the documents said. But Burkhard said much of what the 15-year-old told deputies seemed like “wild tales,” and the teen later led authorities to the body.

Thieves take 400 pounds of food from animal shelter in Española By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

Someone stole about 400 pounds of dog food from a locked shed at the Española Valley Humane Society overnight Wednesday. Megan Sharkey, a spokeswoman for the humane society, said the thief or thieves scaled a chain-link fence and broke the lock on the storage shed. “I don’t really have an explanation for it,” Sharkey said. “We’re kind of still reeling from it.” The Española Valley Humane Society, located north of Santa Fe at 108 Hamm Parkway, takes in about 4,200 animals yearly from the Española area. Sharkey said she didn’t know the value of the kibble, but she said a single pound of dog food costs between $1 and $3, so the total loss is between $400 and $1,200. Sharkey said the theft might endanger the shelter’s food pantry program. At the beginning of each month, the Española Valley Humane Society donates dog food to families

who can’t afford to feed their pets. The thieves did not touch the shelter’s kitty litter and other animal supplies, however. And Sharkey said the 29 canines — including 18 that are 1 year or younger — had enough food to eat Thursday. She said some residents already have started to donate dog food. About three months ago, someone stole between 800 and 1,000 pounds of dog food, and the humane society upgraded the lock on its shed. The group is now trying to find more effective storage options, but Sharkey said there’s limited room at the shelter. Sharkey said Santa Fe residents who wish to donate can drop off food at the Barkin’ Attic, 851 St. Michael’s Drive. Sharkey said the shelter isn’t picky about what brand of dog food it gets, but she did say it currently needs more puppy food as opposed to adult dog food.

NEW YORK he pressure to win during the 2014 Sochi Olympics is nearly as intense for marketers as it is for the athletes themselves. Just like there are medals handed out during the Games, there are winners and losers in advertising. It’s a huge stage for marketers. Companies pay as much as $100 million for exclusive rights to sponsor Olympic teams, while others shell out tens of thousands hoping to score gold by backing individual athletes. The catch? Advertisers’ fates are often tied to external factors. There were a number of distractions this year due to controversy over security, gay rights laws and Olympic preparedness in Sochi. But fortunately for many U.S. sponsors, those things were overshadowed by the athletic prowess of the nation’s Olympic athletes: The U.S. has won more medals than any country so far — good news for advertisers since experts say being associated with a medal winner is the easiest way to capture the goodwill created by the Olympics. Still, the best advertisers find ways to connect even when their athletes underperform. The advertising winners this year managed to both harness the feel-good nature of the Olympics and convey a message about their products. The losers, meanwhile, failed to make memorable ads or worse, made an unfavorable brand impression to the millions of people watching. “Marketers have to be ready to capitalize on a good performance, but you still have to plan for a mediocre showing,” from sponsored athletes said Tim Calkins, marketing professor at the Kellogg School of Business in Northwestern. “Marketers need to find a way to make the whole effort successful.”

Joanna Gleason and Kamar de los Reyes guest star. 9:30 p.m. on PBS Great Performances In the new episode “Sting: The Last Ship,” the former Police frontman performs songs from his recent album, soon to be heard in a musical. Inspired by his memories of growing up in a shipbuilding community in northeastern England, the play is slated to open in Chicago in June and come to Broadway in the fall. The Public Theater in New York is the setting for this concert performance, in which Sting is backed by a 14-piece band.

u Procter & Gamble, a longtime Olympic sponsor, won points early with its feel-good ad “Pick Them Back Up.” The spot is a part of its popular “Thank You Mom” campaign that shows moms supporting young athletes when they fall down. Since the consumer products company debuted the ad online before the Olympics began, the spot has been viewed 18 million times on YouTube. And Ace Metrix, which measures the effectiveness of ads, has ranked it the most effective Olympic ad. “They won by getting out early,” said Ammiel Kamon, senior vice president of products and marketing of Kontera, which monitors how much online conversation brands generate. u Visa, another top Olympic sponsor, focused on responding to many events real time on social media. It helps that the payments company sponsored 37 Olympians

and Paralympians, including gold medalists ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White and skier David Wise. Visa was able to respond quickly on Facebook when its athletes won gold medals, and that paid off. A photo mosaic tribute to Davis and White has received 54,000 likes and nearly 3,000 shares. Another for Wise received 39,000 likes and more than 1,600 shares. “What they’ve been posting on Facebook has been well timed and gained traction,” said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst of social media at research firm eMarketer.

Going home without a medal u Unpredictability is what the Olympics are all about. That can work in a brand’s favor if an underdog sponsored athlete suddenly wins gold. But there’s another side to this, as Under Armour found out. The athletic wear company spent years developing a high-tech suit for the U.S. speedskating team, which was heavily favored coming into competition. But then the team failed to medal, and worse, some blamed the Under Armour suit. It is not clear the suit had anything to do with the team’s performance and some experts say the flap likely won’t hurt domestic sales of its core products like shoes and T-shirts. But it was a blow to the brand because it came in front of a global audience right at the time when Under Armour is seeking to expand internationally. And experts say it put the company on the defensive instead of garnering positive Olympic goodwill. “It was an opportunity for them to shine on the Olympic stage and they fell,” said branding expert Laura Ries. Under Armour didn’t respond to a request for comment. u McDonald’s was limping out of the gate from the start. Before the Games began, the burger chain tried to introduce a seemingly innocuous hashtag on Twitter, CheerstoSochi. Getting a hashtag to go viral is a marketers’ ultimate goal, since it is basically free publicity. But in this case, the hashtag was picked up by activists in tweets condemning the Russian gay rights limitations and assailing McDonald’s for not speaking out forcibly against it. Next, none of its three sponsored athletes, including speedskater favorite Shani Davis, managed to get a medal. The company’s TV spots also failed to impress. One ad that shows Olympic champions biting their medals and comparing that to people biting Chicken McNuggets didn’t resonate with consumers: Ace Metrix said it scored on the low end of their effectiveness scale. McDonald’s said it supports its athletes and that thousands of fans sent positive “cheers” to athletes via its “Cheers to Sochi” campaign.

Meet the mayoral hopefuls

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN SECTION D

If you are 18 or older and already have registered, you are eligible to vote in the upcoming March 4 city elections for city councilor and mayor. In today’s Generation Next, three of our teen writers profile the three mayoral candidates — Patti Bushee, Bill Dimas and Javier Gonzales — with the emphasis on youth and education issues.

for and by teens

Bushee focuses on educational reform, inequality By Eliza Harrison

Gonzales looks to increase number of young voters

Dimas hopes to tackle Santa Fe’s drug problem

By Blanca Ortiz

By Austin Tyra

Generation Next

Patti Bushee, 54, has been a prominent player on our community’s political stage since her first appointment to the City Council in 1994. She considers herself a champion for social justice issues, women’s rights, environmental and sustainability causes, and youth development. She supported the creation of Warehouse 21 and has played a leading role on the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board. “We’re a small city, but we have some big problems that we have to deal with,” she said. She is quick to highlight the complexity inherent in solving large-scale, multidimensional social, economic and political problems. “The most pressing need in our community is to confront poverty, homelessness and economic inequality. In order to do that, we must grow and diversify our local economy.” She is aware of the need to address youth issues and concerns. “Diversification comes in because we’ve slowly become a retirement community. We need to make sure that we create the kind of opportunity that attracts young people.” Educational reform is a central tenet of her policymaking ambitions. “We have a moral obligation to our children to provide them with a good education so that they can graduate. We have to do everything we can, from discussing educational reform to making the graduation rate a priority.” (Capital High School’s graduation rate is just over 64 percent, and Santa Fe High School’s is roughly 62.5 percent.) She continues to praise the leadership and accomplishments of Warehouse 21, noting that it has “great studios and a great theater, and it has created some sort of night life for teens in Santa Fe.” But, she continues, “I think we need more places like Warehouse 21, and I would like to see the building used to the highest extent possible. My hope is that we can eventually keep the doors open every day and serve longer hours.” She remains a continual advocate for the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board, originally established as a forum to advise the mayor on matters of concern to teenagers in the community. But for Bushee, the advisory board is a good idea that provides a lessthan-optimal service because it “tends to consist of the really good students who are already active and empowered in our community.” Looking ahead, she said, “I would like to diversify and amplify the voice of the youth and not just the kids who are already college bound. Ideally, I also hope to give the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board a budget so they can operate like a small city council and really be an advisory board.” Girding for a tough and potentially close election come March 4, Bushee voices a clear commitment and belief in the power and value of Santa Fe’s youth. “Over the years I have interacted a lot with homeless youth and active youth and have consistently solicited their opinions,” she said. “I will continue to do that because I think it’s important to know what the needs of teenagers are and how to address them.”

Bill Dimas, 68, is a fourth-generation Santa Fean who has served as a police commissioner, police officer, chief Magistrate Court judge, city councilor and even head coach of the Santa Fe High School girl’s basketball team. He also once played in a rock ‘n’ roll band. “You name it, I’ve pretty much done it,” he told Generation Next. As he runs for the job of mayor of the city of Santa Fe, he promises to stick to his “back to the roots” style of campaigning. He also vows to connect to Santa Fe youth. “I’ve been very involved with our youth now for many years,” said Dimas, who was once a member of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board, even though he expresses concerns about its effectiveness. “I don’t see much coming out of it,” he said. “When I was back on the [City] Council many years ago in 1984, I had put together what I called the Youth Council. And we could explore this idea again. We had a Youth Council that was comprised of students from all the schools. Back then, there were probably about 12 members on the board, and we met about once a month. The idea was to come up with ideas for teens to get involved in and things for teens to do. Our youth is our future, and they need to start finding out what goes on in city government, in state government and in national government.” Dimas sees the challenges facing today’s youth. “One of the pressing issues, and this is a serious issue, is drug use,” he said. “We have a real serious problem here in Santa Fe with drug abuse. We are second in the nation right now in drug-related deaths. Burglary in Santa Fe has gone down, but we are still one of the highest burglary rates in the country right now, and that is also a result of drug abuse.” Dimas said that if elected mayor, he would start drug and alcohol-abuse programs in the schools and re-establish the narcotics unit of the Santa Fe Police Department, which was dropped in 2006. Dimas also wants to encourage youth activities for Santa Fe teens and suggests the creation of a new indoor rodeo stadium that could also be used for youthrelated events like concerts. Dimas made a bold decision to not take part in any of the mayoral forms with rival candidates Patti Bushee and Javier Gonzales. “I’ve been in these forums for years, and I have never missed a forum, and I decided … that it’s the same people who go to these. You have one candidate and a lot of their supporters there and the other candidates’ supporters are there, and that’s basically it. And most of them are specialinterest groups that want to know what you’re going to do for them. So I decided to forgo the forums this year.” Time will tell whether that idea will work for or against Dimas. But he’s decided that regardless of the outcome of the March 4 election, he will continue to “do what I’ve been doing and that’s to work with the youth as much as I can.”

Born and raised in Santa Fe, mayoral candidate Javier Gonzales, 47, said he is the first one in his family to attend college and obtain a bachelor’s degree — in accounting — from New Mexico State University. He remains enthusiastic and optimistic about Santa Fe’s future. He said initially he did not imagine running for mayor. “I have always enjoyed public service, but I was not sure what path I wanted to take,” he said. He said he has always wished for a town where “everyone has a place to work, a good job, can buy a home and raise a family — but for many that is not a reality.” He expressed gratitude for his strong campaign team and his two daughters, all of whom keep him grounded, he said. He works the door-to-door visit with voters on Saturdays and Sundays but said he thinks not many people have a clear understanding about what it means to be mayor. “Some don’t know what mayors do. People need to be invited to participate, they need to be involved,” he said. He’s been holding public forums to address common concerns he hears from community members. Gonzales said he has been interacting with and involving young Santa Feans with more frequency during his campaign. Will he be able to keep the connections he is making with those teens throughout the rest of his campaign — and possibly beyond? He said youth always will play a role in the future of the community and noted he created the Millennial Advisers for Javier, a support/advisory group made up of young adults. Among the group’s goals: increasing voter participation among young people. “Last election, 48 people from the ages 18-24 voted from a population of about 80,000. Our goal is to increase that number to 500 [this election],” he said. Asked about his views on education, Gonzales said learning never stops, especially in areas of interest that make you happy. He believes the ability to achieve and overcome are directly tied to the education one receives. Gonzales highlights some of the qualities he believes qualify him to be mayor. He said he is a good listener and can respect different points of view and can thus build a consensus upon those different points of views. He has supported an increase in the city’s minimum wage and champions the idea of creating a “green” environment. His background includes two terms on the Santa Fe County Commission and serving as state Democratic Party chairman for four years. He currently works for a commercial real-estate firm and previously worked for KSWVQue Suave Radio, which his family owns. His message to Santa Fe youth? “You matter. You are the future of this town. I have faith that his town will be grateful if we all do our part, guiding it into the future.”

As mayor, what is the first thing you would do for teens in Santa Fe?

Cybele MayesOsterman, Santa Fe Prep “I would create cheaper activities and events that are more geared towards that age group.”

Rebecca Soifer, Desert Academy “More independence. … If they were being forced to go to schools because of parental restrictions or money restrictions, then they would be able to have more decisions [regarding schools].”

Julian Lopez, Santa Fe High School “Probably get them to stop partying and drugs and smoking and make them more active and progressive … and make them do better in school, keep them out of trouble.”

Anthony Saocido, Capital High School “I’d make more things in Santa Fe for teenagers so we wouldn’t have to walk around all day and do nothing.”

SPEAK OUT

Tyra BorregoLopez, Santa Fe High School “[I’d] try to encourage more kids to go to school, and instead of forcing it, make it fun.”

Section editor: Robert Nott, rnott@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Stephanie Proffer, sproffer@sfnewmexican.com

Destiny Chavez, Santa Fe High School “I would build more places for teens to hang out so they have more things to do instead of sitting at home and maybe getting into doing drugs and drinking.”

Alayna Montoya, Santa Fe High School “I’d create more job opportunities for us.”

Books ‘All the King’s Men’ is tough but worthwhile By Aaron Stevens Generation Next

As the state’s legislative session comes to a close and Santa Fe continues to gear up for its upcoming mayoral election on March 4, politics are front and center all over the city. What better time to revisit Robert Penn Warren’s 1936 novel All the King’s Men? Set in an unnamed Southern town in the early 1930s, All the King’s Men details the rise and fall of small-town lawyerturned-governor Willie Stark. Penn based Stark on real-life Louisiana politico Huey “The Kingfish” Long, who ran the Bayou State with an iron hand from 1928 to 1932 and remains one of the most controversial political figures in American history. The narrator of the book is Gov. Stark’s bag man, Jack Burden, a jaded journalist/historian who is tasked with digging up dirt on Stark’s political enemies. Stark orders Burden to find suitable blackmail material about Judge Irwin, a Burden family friend who is seemingly untouchable. Despite his cynical outlook and dubiously ethical practices on behalf of the governor, Burden is a fairly candid observer of Stark, whom he calls “the Boss.” In a series of highly detailed flashbacks, Burden tells the story of “the Boss” — as well as his own backstory. Burden’s childhood friends, Anne and Adam Stanton, and Stark’s reckless, footballplaying son, Tom, also play prominent roles in the novel. All of these disparate characters and storylines build to a stunningly lethal climax that should be familiar to anyone who has followed Huey Long’s history. Though it is an entertaining and fascinating story, All the King’s Men still isn’t the easiest read. Warren’s digressive style and use of abstract descriptions is at times reminiscent of the work of William Faulkner, another notoriously hard-to-follow Southern author. Readers who can keep track of the meandering narrative will likely find All the King’s Men to be simultaneously funny, sad, suspenseful and thought-provoking. Still heralded as one of the seminal political novels of all time, All the King’s Men netted Warren — a poet and literary critic who is probably best known for this work — a Pulitzer Prize in 1947. Columbia Pictures made a 1949 film version of the story, which was a huge success, winning three Academy Awards, including for best actor Broderick Crawford, who played Stark. Other works, including plays, short stories and a 2006 film version followed, further expanding the novel’s legacy. The book’s message of absolute power leading to absolute corruption is as relevant today as it was nearly 70 years ago when the book first came out — and a good reminder for those currently seeking public office.

WIPP is a facility authorized by Congress to dispose TRU radioactive waste materials generated by atomic energy defense activities. WIPP manages wastes that are regulated under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Act Chapter 74, Article 4 NMSA 1978 (HWA), and their implementing regulations. WIPP received a hazardous waste facility Permit from NMED in 1999 to dispose of TRU mixed waste containers 2,150 feet below ground in a mined geologic repository within the Salado Formation. The containers of waste must undergo complete waste characterization by the generator/storage sites in compliance with requirements of the Permit prior to disposal. WIPP is permitted to accept contact-handled TRU waste containers with a surface dose of less than 200 millirem per hour that may be handled directly. WIPP is also permitted to accept remote-handled TRU waste containers with a surface dose of 200 millirem or greater that must be handled either remotely or with sufficient shielding to reduce the effective dose. WIPP may be contacted at the following mailing addresses: DOE Carlsbad Field Office, P.O. Box 3090, Carlsbad, New Mexico 88221-3090; and Nuclear Waste Partnership LLC, P.O. Box 2078, Carlsbad, New Mexico 88221-2078. The Permittees’ primary contact for this permitting action is: George Basabilvazo, Director, Office of Environment, Safety and Health, DOE Carlsbad Field Office, P.O. Box 3090, Carlsbad, New Mexico 88221-3090. The draft Permit is a proposed modification of the existing Permit. The Permittees submitted a modification request on March 20, 2013 following a public involvement process that included pre-submittal meetings with the public to obtain comment prior to submittal. Public meetings were held in Santa Fe and Albuquerque on April 16 and 18, 2013. On July 29, 2013, NMED determined the application to be administratively complete and that it constituted a timely and complete application under the regulations. On September 20, 2013 NMED issued a Technical Incompleteness Determination, requesting clarification and additional information. WIPP provided a response on October 31, 2013. The draft Permit is based on the submitted modification request and the information requested by NMED. NMED also announces the availability of a Fact Sheet providing the basis for its proposed action on the Permit, and the significant factual, legal, and policy questions considered in preparing the draft Permit. The Fact Sheet explains the basis for Permit changes, including applicable statutory and regulatory support. PUBLIC REVIEW OF THE DRAFT PERMIT The Administrative Record for this proposed action consists of the Permit Modification Request, the draft Permit, this Public Notice, the Fact Sheet, and supporting documentation. The Administrative Record may be reviewed, with prior appointment, at the following locations during the public comment period.

WIPP is currently permitted to manage, store, and dispose of hazardous waste, and to close hazardous waste disposal units, in accordance with the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Act (HWA) and its implementing regulations.

El Departamento de Energía de los Estados Unidos (DOE) y Nuclear Waste Partnership LLC (NWP), los Permisionarios, presentaron ante NMED una solicitud de modificación el 20 de marzo de 2013. La solicitud incluye modificaciones para el cierre con paneles, la reconfiguración de los Paneles 9 y 10 del repositorio, y la lista de analitos meta de compuestos orgánicos volátiles (VOC) y cambios en el programa de monitoreo de VOC. La Planta WIPP tiene actualmente permiso para manejar, almacenar y depositar residuos peligrosos y para cerrar unidades de depósito de residuos peligrosos, conforme a la Ley de Nuevo México para Residuos Peligrosos (HWA) y los reglamentos para su implementación. NMED tiene a su cargo emitir un permiso que garantice que las operaciones con residuos peligrosos de la Planta WIPP se realicen de manera que protejan la salud de los seres humanos y el medio ambiente. La Planta WIPP está ubicada al norte de la Carretera Jal (Carretera Estatal 128) en el condado de Eddy, Nuevo México, aproximadamente 26 millas al este de Carlsbad. WIPP es una planta para residuos peligrosos que funciona actualmente bajo un Permiso emitido por NMED, que autoriza el manejo, el almacenamiento y el depósito de residuos transuránicos (TRU) mixtos en la Planta. Residuos mixtos son residuos radioactivos que también son residuos peligrosos según lo definido por la HWA y están, por lo tanto, sujetos a las normas de NMED. La Planta pertenece al DOE y es administrada por ese departamento conjuntamente con NWP. Esas entidades se denominan colectivamente “Permisionarios” o “WIPP” en el proyecto de Permiso y en este aviso público. WIPP es una planta autorizada por el Congreso para depositar materiales residuales radioactivos TRU generados por actividades de defensa con energía atómica.
