reported tools stolen on at least three occasions from Technical Area 54, the largest waste disposal zone on the lab’s sprawling hilltop campus.

LANL holds more than 100 contaminated sites from years of storing waste generated during development of nuclear weapons.

About a dozen items, including impact wrenches, a power screw-

driver and weed trimmers, were reported stolen and remain missing, according to police reports.

Lab sources report that up to eight impact wrenches, 11 batteries and eight chargers disappeared from Technical Area 54 over the summer.

The combined value of the missing tools reported to police is about $1,000.

A national expert on radiation exposure said the tools likely pose little health risk but could be danger-

Poll finds most say torture justified

Nation horrified as Taliban gunmen slay at least 141 people

By Adam Goldman and Peyton Craighill

WASHINGTON — A majority of Americans believe that the harsh interrogation techniques used on terrorism suspects after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were justified, even as about half the public says the treatment amounted to torture, according to a new Washington PostABC News poll.

By an almost 2-1 margin, or 59-31 percent, those interviewed support the CIA’s brutal methods, with the vast majority of supporters saying they produced valuable intelligence.

In general, 58 percent say the torture of suspected terrorists can be justified “often” or “sometimes.”

The new poll comes on the heels of a scathing Senate Intelligence Committee investigation into the CIA’s detention and interrogation program, which President Barack Obama ended in 2009. The report concluded that controversial interrogation techniques — including waterboarding detainees, placing them in stress positions and keeping them inside confinement boxes — were not an effective means of acquiring intelligence.

The report also found that more than two dozen detainees were wrongly held, that the program was poorly managed and that the CIA misled top U.S. officials about the

A recount of votes in the state land commissioner race confirmed Republican challenger Aubrey Dunn’s narrow victory over Democratic incumbent Ray Powell, the Secretary of State’s Office said Tuesday night.

Rod Adair, a spokesman for the office, said the recount was completed earlier during the day, and the official results will be presented Thursday to the State Canvassing Board, which is charged with certifying the election outcome.

Dunn and Powell finished neck and neck in the unofficial vote tally after the Nov. 4 general election, which showed Dunn winning with a margin of 704 votes out of 499,666 votes cast, or a 0.14 percent difference. State law requires an automatic recount when the margin is less than 0.5 percent. Adair said the recount conducted by clerks in all 33 counties in New Mexico gave Dunn an official victory margin of 658 votes.

Reached by phone Tuesday night, Powell said he wished luck to Dunn in “taking care of our state’s trust lands.”

Bill to help disabled people awaits Senate vote

Vatican has warm words for U.S. nuns

By Rachel Weiner

By Laurie Goodstein

The Washington Post

The New York Times

When his daughter Audrey was 4 years old, Rick Hodges went to a financial planning seminar — “like a dutiful dad,” he recalled. But he knew immediately it was of no help.

“All these plans are designed for people with normal lives,” the Arlington, Va., father said. “First they grow up, then they go to college, then they support themselves, then they retire. And that was probably not going to be Audrey’s life.” His daughter has Down syndrome.

Amid all the uncertainty about her future, Hodges said, is the certainty that she will need financial support. “I thought, there needs to be a special plan for people with disabilities, something that has more flexibility,” he said.

Soon, there will be, thanks in large part to a group of Northern Virginia parents who heard the issue Hodges raised. At a time of widespread complaints about Washington gridlock, the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act won approval this month in the House on an overwhelming bipartisan vote. Final action is pending in the Senate.

Under the act, a disabled person can have a taxadvantaged savings account worth up to $100,000 without losing any federal benefits. The money can include friend and family contributions as well as what the disabled person earns.

Withdrawals would not be taxed if used for education, housing, health care or other lifelong expenses not covered by Medicaid and federal disability benefits.

The bill “puts a stake in the ground that people with Down syndrome and other communities can work and save money for their future,” said Sara Hart Weir, interim president of the National Down Syndrome Society.

The ambitious bill got its start around a kitchen table about a decade ago, as parents in the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia listened to Hodges’ idea and wondered: Why couldn’t we do this?

The group had some advantages that other grass-roots activists might not. Many had connections to Capitol Hill. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who has long been active on disability issues, was an influential early co-sponsor.

But it was another father from the Down syndrome group who became the most forceful advocate. Steve Beck, of Fairfax County, Va., a practical, conservative executive in an electric supply company with no previous legislative experience, was driven by a desire to do something for his daughter, Natalie.

Beck watched the House pass the ABLE Act on Dec. 3 on a vote of 404-17. Five days later, he died unexpectedly. His name has since been added to the bill. Other advocates credit Beck with powerfully conveying the personal stories behind the bill.

Allowing recipients of federal disability benefits to hold significant assets in their own names is a radical change. Some congressional aides questioned why people receiving those benefits would need savings.

On the left, some advocates argued that the accounts would help only wealthier families. Even many disabilities groups were skeptical.

Major legislation of any kind to help people with Down syndrome and other disabilities had been scarce since the Americans with Disabilities Act took effect in 1990 during the presidency of George H.W. Bush.

A Vatican investigation of American nuns started under the previous pope, which prompted protests from outraged Catholics, ended in Rome on Tuesday with the release of a generally appreciative report that acknowledged the achievements and the challenges the nuns face given their dwindling ranks.

The relatively warm tone in the report, and at the Vatican news conference that released it, was a far cry from six years ago when the investigation was announced, creating fear, anger and mistrust among women in religious communities and convents across the United States.

“Sorry, folks. This is not a controversial document,” Mother M. Clare Millea, an American nun who directed the investigation, said at the news conference. Instead, she said, it was “a challenge for all of us.”

If anything, the report may help spur the process of including women in more decision-making roles in church life, some church observers said. The report found that some nuns felt they lacked input “into pastoral decisions which affect them or about which they have considerable experience and expertise.”

The report concluded by citing Pope Francis’ call “to create still broader opportunities for a more incisive female presence in the church.”

Pope Francis, who was elected last year and had no role in initiating the investigation, celebrated Mass on Tuesday with some of the nuns and clergymen who carried it out. Millea said that Francis told them he knew the investigation was an “arduous experience,” and said of the nuns in the United States, “Please give them all my blessing.”

The investigation, known as an apostolic visitation, was initiated in 2008 under Pope Benedict XVI with only a vague explanation. The Vatican said is the largest apostolic visitation ever undertaken in a single country. Cardinal Franc Rodé, the head of the Vatican office for religious orders, said then that the purpose was to examine “the quality of life of religious women in the United States.”

Rodé later said he was concerned about “a certain secular mentality that has spread in these religious families and, perhaps, also a certain feminist spirit.”

About 350 communities of religious women were sent questionnaires asking about such things as their numbers and mission, prayer schedules, living arrangements, financial assets and property. Nearly 80 investigators made on-site visits to 90 communities of nuns.

In brief Sony hackers reference 9/11 in new threats NEW YORK — Hackers calling themselves Guardians of Peace made ominous threats Tuesday against movie theaters showing Sony Pictures’ film The Interview that referred to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The group also released a trove of data files including about 8,000 emails from the inbox of Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton.

The data dump was what the hackers called the beginning of a “Christmas gift.” But GOP, as the group is known, included a message warning that people should stay away from places where The Interview will be shown.

The warning prompted law enforcement in New York and Los Angeles to address measures to ramp up security.

Interview stars Seth Rogen and James Franco pulled out of all media appearances Tuesday.

2 bombers kill 26 in Yemen, including students SANAA, Yemen — Two suicide car bombers rammed their vehicles into a Shiite rebels’ checkpoint and a house south of the Yemeni capital Tuesday as a school bus was traveling nearby, killing at least 26 people including at least 16 primary school students, according to the Yemeni government, rebels and witnesses.

Witnesses said that the first car was loaded with potatoes apparently disguising explosives underneath. The Shiite rebels, known as the Houthis, blamed al-Qaida for the attack in the Radaa area of Baydah province, calling it “the ugliest crime against childhood.” The group said the school bus was carrying female primary school students.

Saldana had claimed strong support among Republicans when she was nominated earlier this year, but that changed after Obama took executive actions to grant work permits to millions in the U.S. illegally. Saldana backed Obama’s move, and a number of Republican senators said they could no longer support her.

Methane is found on Mars, raising hope of life SAN FRANCISCO — Life on Mars? Today?

The notion may not be so far-fetched after all.

A year after reporting that NASA’s Curiosity rover had found no evidence of methane gas on Mars, all but dashing hopes that organisms might be living there now, scientists reversed themselves Tuesday. Curiosity has now recorded a burst of methane that lasted at least two months. The presence of methane is significant because the gas cannot exist for long.

Calculations indicate that sunlight and chemical reactions in the Martian atmosphere would break up the molecules within a few hundred years, so any methane there now must have been created recently.

Udall, Heinrich praise López confirmation WASHINGTON — U.S. Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich joined the Senate in confirming Estevan López, a native New Mexican, as Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation.

López, who previously served as the director of the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission. “The Bureau of Reclamation plays a critical role in meeting the water demands of the West,” Udall said.

López serves as the principal deputy commissioner of Reclamation, where he manages the bureau’s day-to-day operations. It is the largest wholesale water supplier in the United States, and the second largest producer of hydroelectric power.

“The Bureau of Reclamation is at the center of managing a variety of interests to address our nation’s water needs,” Heinrich said.

Family sues over fatal shooting Black man killed by white officer; victim held air rifle inside an Ohio Wal-Mart

By Lisa Cornwell The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The family of a black man fatally shot by a white police officer as he held an air rifle inside a Wal-Mart filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday charging negligence and violation of the man’s civil rights.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Dayton against the city of Beavercreek, the two Beavercreek officers involved, the police chief and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. John Crawford III was shot Aug. 5 inside the store in the Dayton suburb.

Police responded after a 911 caller reported Crawford was waving what appeared to be a firearm.

A grand jury concluded the shooting was justified.

“All we want is justice for John Crawford,” the family’s attorney, Michael Wright said at a news conference Tuesday.

Crawford’s family has said previously that it was “incomprehensible” that officers weren’t indicted. The family has sought a federal investigation to see if race was a factor, and the U.S. Justice Department has been reviewing the shooting.

Crawford’s death also has drawn demonstrations from protesters criticizing the shootings of young black men by police around the country, with some suggesting race was a factor.

Wright said the criminal justice system has so far refused to hold the officers accountable and that it is necessary for the civil justice system to do so. He said Crawford was just shopping and talking on his cellphone when he was shot.

“John Crawford did nothing wrong,” Wright said.

The police officer who fatally shot 22-year-old Crawford has said the man didn’t

A grand jury concluded the shooting was justified. respond to repeated commands to drop the weapon and turned toward officers in an aggressive manner.

A Wal-Mart spokeswoman said Tuesday that the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company takes its stores’ safety and security very seriously.

“Out of respect for everyone involved, we believe it’s not appropriate to discuss the specifics of this matter, but we can say that our associates acted properly,” Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said in an email.

Beavercreek’s city attorney, speaking for the city and police, said in an email Tuesday that they are confident the trial will be fair.

“We believe the evidence will show that the officer’s actions were legally justified, said Steve McHugh.

The lawsuit charges that all the defendants were guilty of negligence and that the officers were guilty of recklessness and depriving Crawford of his constitutional rights, including the right to be free of unreasonable seizures and excessive use of force.

The lawsuit also alleges that Wal-Mart was negligent “concerning the placement of guns at its stores and also acted negligently in failing to secure” the air rifle, which the family’s attorneys said was left unpackaged on a shelf.

Wright said the family hopes the lawsuit will bring changes in the police department and Wal-Mart’s merchandising practices.

“We want to be sure that this tragedy does not happen to any other family,” he said.

The lawsuit seeks at damages of at least $75,000, but that amount could change as the case proceeds, attorneys said.

ers and hundreds of other lost items, simply written off the lab’s books each year.”

“Simply put,” he said at the time, “cases of theft, misuse or loss of government property are not aggressively investigated, and usually no one is held accountable when it occurs.”

As recently as 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Inspector General investigated missing tools at LANL, according to a federal log of investigations, though the type of tools and the results of the investigation were not available Tuesday.

Ballew said missing lab tools and equipment are reported to his department “quite often,” even though the limited flow of information to outside investigators seldom leads to arrests or recovery of stolen items. He said this is the first time in his 10 years with the force that he recalls the lab reporting the theft of equipment potentially contaminated with radioactive material.

“That’s kind of significant,” he said.

On May 12, a lab project manager, Tommy Mojica, told Los Alamos Police Department Cpl. Jack Casias that an impact wrench had been taken from a tool building in Technical Area 54. Mojica told police a similar tool had been stolen from there before.

“Mojica further stated that the impact tool which was taken could have been contaminated with radiation,” according to Casias’ report.

In the same report, Mojica said he was obliged to report the theft “even though nothing can be done.”

On July 16, Genevieve Fernandez, a supervisor from Technical Area 54, told Los Alamos Police Department Cpl. Timothy Lonz that another impact wrench along with a charger and two batteries had been stolen.

“Genevieve explained to me that the area in which the tools were taken from were exposed to radiation, but she was unable to explain to me what kind of radiation,” Lonz wrote in his report. She also refused to give police the names of up to 75 employees with access to

the area where the tools were last seen.

“The scene was cleared without further follow-up because the area that the item was stolen was not an area officers are allowed in unless given permission due to the hazards at the complex,” Lonz reported.

Another impact wrench, two weed trimmers, three weed trimmer harnesses, three face shields with earmuffs and a full roll of weed trimmer line were reported missing from Technical Area 54 on Aug. 18, according to a police report, but it did not say whether the tools had been contaminated. Once again, “Los Alamos National Labs would not release any information regarding employees with access to this site,” according to the report.

Ballew said he trusts internal investigators at the lab are still pursuing answers about where the tools went, but he admits the lab’s investigators have not shared any progress reports about these or other open theft investigations with Los Alamos police.

The breakdown of jurisdiction over crime committed at the lab squarely places responsibility for the theft investigations with the Los Alamos Police Department.

Ballew said federal investigators have jurisdiction over terrorist activity and special nuclear materials, but other police matters are in his department’s jurisdiction.

Greg Mello, executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, a watchdog organization that closely monitors the lab, said contaminated tools could pose a health hazard to anyone who has direct contact with them. But more than the threats of radioactive tools lost in Northern New Mexico, he’s concerned about what the police reports reveal about the culture at the lab.

“I think the laboratory should cooperate fully with the police,” Mello said. “Failure to do so upholds a culture that says laws from outside the lab don’t apply.”

any of those accused have been charged.

In his statement, Wall said victims should contact police if they recognized their abusers on the list. He also said the diocese’s investigation into molestation claims wasn’t finished.

Diocese spokeswoman Suzanne Hammons said no one on the list is working in the Gallup territory. “If they were transferred somewhere else, it’s because no one knew of the allegations, and we are looking into that,” Hammons said.

She said it will be up to religious orders to conduct their own investigations. Seven of

the priests on the list have died, according to the diocese.

After the release, the Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests said Wall needed to go further.

“Wall must reveal their photos, current whereabouts and detailed work histories, too,” SNAP director David Clohessy said in a statement. “He should put all this information in every parish bulletin, along with an emphatic plea for anyone who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes or cover ups in New Mexico to call police.”

The diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2013 in the face of mounting lawsuits, claiming clergy sex abuse.

Kids: Analysts call attack too much Continued from Page A-1 where Islamist violence is often quietly accepted and sometimes defended. The attack was also condemned by Taliban leaders in Afghanistan.

Some analysts suggested that after years of suicide bombings and attacks on markets, mosques, hotels and military bases, the insurgents had finally gone too far, and that widespread public outrage over this attack might signal a decisive turn in the nation’s — and the government’s — reluctance to fully take on the Taliban.

The massacre was the most intimate assault ever against Pakistan’s military, the nation’s most respected and powerful institution. The only comparable incident was in December 2009, when a small group of assailants penetrated army headquarters in the garrison city of Rawalpindi and killed more than 30 people praying at an army mosque.

The death toll on Tuesday also rivaled one of the highest in Pakistan in recent years, when suicide bombings in 2007 killed about 150 people in Karachi during celebrations to welcome former prime minister Benazir Bhutto back to Pakistan after years in self-exile. Bhutto was assassinated soon after.

Yet even when previous attacks have drawn strong condemnation and vows of action from military officials, Pakistan’s military and intelligence establishment has remained deeply ambivalent about taking on the domestic Islamist forces and has often been accused of playing a double game in its partnership with the West in the war on terrorism.

One chief reason is that such extremist groups have long acted as proxies in Pakistan’s rivalry with India, an issue that trumps all others for Pakistan’s security leaders and that has long been seen as a far greater threat than Islamist militants.

Terrorist attacks are routinely decried as the work of unknown foreign hands.

Pakistan’s civilian leaders, for their part, have long deferred to the army in security and foreign policy, and they have also been reluctant to act against Islamist violence, for fear of alienating the nation’s deeply religious Muslim masses and organized groups.

“Despite this national tragedy, I don’t see any chance of the nation as a whole building an anti-terrorism narrative,” said Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao, a veteran Pakistani legislator from the northwest.

He noted that a variety of religious and political leaders have “deep sympathy” for the militants.

“For now they may tone down their support,” he said,

“Family Owned & Operated Since 1965”

but in time they will “start showing their true colors again.”

The army, however, has always been carefully attuned to public opinion, and Tuesday’s attack provoked a remarkably swift, broad and emphatic outpouring of revulsion and anger. News channels showed grim scenes of dead children in hospital beds, many still wearing green school uniforms, and of weeping mourners carrying hastily made pine coffins out of hospitals in Peshawar.

“Today is the saddest day of the history of our nation,” said Haniyah Siddiqui, 18, who was shopping in the port city of Karachi. “It is high time to make up our mind to fight terrorists and eliminate them in toto, not just mourning or condemning the tragic incident.”

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who rushed to Peshawar, denounced the assault as a “cowardly act” and vowed to maintain military action “until the menace of terrorism is eliminated” from Pakistan. “The nation needs to get united and face terrorism,” he added. “We need unflinching resolve against this plague.”

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager and Taliban attack survivor who recently won the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting girls’ education, said from England that she was “heartbroken” by “these atrocious and cowardly acts” but vowed that even as she and millions mourn the students’

deaths, “we will never be defeated.”

Her denunciation was echoed

by Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the leader of Pakistan’s Jamaatud-Dawa Islamist movement, whose followers were blamed for a 2008 terrorist siege on the Indian city of Mumbai. Saeed said the attack was “carried out by the enemies of Islam. It is open terrorism. ... These are barbarians operating under the name of jihad.”

Even the Afghan Taliban, which operates separately from the Pakistani group but shares a religious agenda, took the unusual step of indirectly condemning the attack. A statement from spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said, “The intentional killing of innocent people, women and children are against the basics of Islam, and this criterion must be considered by every Islamic party and government.”

The Pakistani Taliban quickly asserted responsibility for the attack, saying it was to avenge Pakistan’s sweeping military operation in June in North Waziristan, part of a tribal region that straddles the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The group had been warning for months that it would take revenge.

Hasan Askari Rizvi, a military analyst, said the attack was “unprecedented,” even in a country that has experienced thousands of terrorist attacks over the past decade.

Bush’s declared interest also punctures the rationale for a candidacy by Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee who occupies a similar space within the party establishment.

A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday found Bush with a narrow edge over a crowded field of potential GOP contenders if Romney were not in the race. Bush garners 15 percent support among Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, with Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin each netting 11 percent. Support for all three top candidates is within the poll’s five-point margin of sampling error.

Newsmakers Polanski’s lawyers accuse L.A. prosecutors

Roman Polanski

LOS ANGELES — Attorneys for Roman Polanski accused Los Angeles County prosecutors of misconduct as part of continued efforts to have a decades-old sexual assault case against the Oscar-winning director dismissed. Polanski’s legal team filed court papers Monday that allege district attorneys and judges carried out “serious misconduct” in an effort to prosecute the filmmaker, the Los Angeles Times reported.

It is the latest twist in the legal saga that began in 1977 when Polanski was charged with raping a 13-year-old girl during a photo shoot at a private home in Los Angeles. In a plea deal, the Polish-born director pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape. The night before his sentencing, he fled to France.

Monday’s 133-page motion seeks an evidentiary hearing to determine whether “pervasive” misconduct and a “false” extradition request sent this year by the Department of Justice to the Polish government requires the case against Polanski to be dismissed.

Polanski won an Academy Award for best director for his 2002 film The Pianist and was nominated for 1974’s Chinatown and 1979’s Tess.

WASHINGTON or decades, comic books have been in color, but now they truly reflect all the hues of American society.

The new Captain America is black. A Superman who is suspiciously similar to President Barack Obama recently headlined a comic book. Thor is a woman, Spider-Man is part-Puerto Rican and Ms. Marvel is Muslim.

Mainstream comic book superheroes — America’s modern mythology — have been redrawn from the stereotypical brown-haired, blueeyed white male into a world of multicolored, multireligious and multigendered crusaders to reflect a greater diversity in their audience.

Society has changed, so superheroes have to as well, said Axel Alonso, editor in chief at Marvel Comics, who in November debuted Captain America No. 1 with Samuel Wilson, the first African American superhero taking over Captain America’s red, white and blue uniform and shield.

“Roles in society aren’t what they used to be. There’s far more diversity,” said Alonso, who has also shepherded a gay wedding in the X-Men, a gender change from male to female in Thor and the first

mainstream female Muslim hero in Ms. Marvel.

“The new diverse comic characters are far from the first: Marvel introduced the world to Samuel Wilson as the Falcon, the comic’s first African-American superhero, in 1969 as a sidekick to Captain America. In 1977, DC Comics introduced Black Lightning, a schoolteacher who gains electrical powers and becomes a superhero.

And Marvel isn’t the only company looking at diversity.

An alternative black Superman, one who is president of the United States, is part of a team in DC Comics’ The Multiversity. DC also brags of having more comic books featuring female leads than any other company, including Batgirl, Catwoman, Batwoman and Wonder Woman, the longest-running comic book with a female hero.

But not everyone is happy with the changes: Noah Berlasky, author of the upcoming Wonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism in the Marston/ Peter Comics, 1941-1948, said portions of the largely white, male comic book audience don’t want favored characters to change.

“Changing people’s race or changing people’s gender can feel more threatening or a bigger deal than changing Thor into a frog,” said Berlasky, referencing a popular storyline in which the Norse god transforms into an amphibian.

“Characters are always changing, but there are cultural lenses which make it seem like a bigger deal if Johnny Storm is black.”

Magazine apologizes for story on 17-year-old millionaire stock trader

By Terrence McCoy and Elahe Izadi The Washington Post

Mohammed Islam, 17, wants you to think he’s a big shot. On his website, Ettaz Financial, he wears a pair of fogged-over glasses, expression serious, sporting a red tie on a snowy day. The New York highschool senior says he got interested in the financial industry “at the tender age of 8,” quickly fell into the third-rate world of penny stocks before graduating to the futures market after finding “a love for risk and volatility.” How much has he made? Millions, he said.

His net worth has soared into the “high eight figures.”

The world is filled with teenagers like Mo Islam, who now says he never made a dime on the stock market.

They play fast and loose with facts. But they don’t usually get the treatment Islam just got in Sunday’s issue of New York Magazine.

Now the magazine has issued an apology for that story about the high school senior. “We were duped,” reads a statement released Tuesday and also posted as an editor’s note on the story itself. “Our fact-checking process was obviously inadequate; we take full responsibility and we should have known better. New York apologizes to our readers.”

The article, reported and written by staff writer Jessica Pressler, begins with a rumor.

Someone — it’s unspecified who — said Mo had pocketed $72 million by trading penny

stocks. The original headline: “A Stuyvesant Senior Made $72 Million Trading Stocks on His Lunch Break.”

“As part of the research process, the magazine sent a factchecker to Stuyvesant [High School] where Islam produced a document that appeared to be a Chase bank statement attesting to an eight-figure bank account,” the magazine said Tuesday.

“After the story’s publication, people questioned the $72 million figure in the headline.”

In an editorial note published on Monday, New York Magazine had said the problems with the piece rested solely with the story’s headline, which it changed. The new one? “A Stuyvesant Senior Made Millions Picking Stocks.

His Hedge Fund Opens as Soon As He Turns 18.”

Coming on the heels of Rolling Stone’s disastrous story of a University of Virginia gang rape, though nowhere near as serious in its consequences, the story unraveled almost as quickly as it went viral. New York Magazine’s was getting pounded in its comments section: “How dumb do you have to [be] to believe that this kid made $72M trading stocks during lunch?”

In the hours since the story unraveled, Islam retained a lawyer and public relations firm, 5WPR. Pressler is reportedly headed to Bloomberg News to write about the “culture of wealth and money.”

Danger lurks this holiday

The New York Times

E

lizabeth Warren’s memoir begins with the story of a family in collapse.

She was 12 years old when her father had a heart attack.

His recovery was slow.

Because he was unable to work, the family’s finances tanked. The Studebaker was repossessed. When he was able to return to work, Montgomery Ward took away his job selling carpeting and gave him a job selling lawn mowers on commission. Warren asked her mother why the old job was gone. “In her view, his company had robbed him of something he’d worked for.

And now, she said, ‘They think he’s going to die.’ ” The financial spiral had the predictable effect on the family’s emotional life. “Sometimes that spring I would overhear my parents arguing,” Warren remembers. “I guess I shouldn’t describe it as arguing; my father never said much of anything, while my mother yelled louder. They drank more, a lot more. … I knew that my mother blamed my daddy for not doing ‘what a man is supposed to do’ and taking care of us.”

Her mother ended up getting a job at Sears, her father got a job as a maintenance man, and the family finances stabilized — at a low level.

Warren concluded the episode this way: “My mother never had it easy. She fought for everything she and my daddy ever had.”

The memoir is called A Fighting Chance. The words “fight” or “fighting” appear in the book 224 times. In high school, Warren writes, she couldn’t play a musical instru-

B ment or a sport, “but I did have one talent. I could fight — not with my fists, but with my words. I was the anchor on the debate team.” Of her tennis game she writes, “Once I had a weapon in my hand, I gave it everything I had.”

With relish, she describes a fight she later had with a judge on a panel discussion over bankruptcy law. “The judge probably had a hundred pounds on me, and he started shifting himself closer to the microphone and edging me out of his way.

“I grabbed the table for leverage and pushed my way to the microphone, going shoulder to shoulder with the judge as I hit back with arguments. … I glanced over and noticed with satisfaction that the veins in his neck were throbbing and his face was red and sweating. I wondered briefly whether he might have a stroke right there on the small stage.”

Her biggest adult fight has been against the banks, against what she saw as their rapacious exploitation of the poor and vulnerable. The crucial distinction Warren makes is this one: It’s not just social conditions like globalization and technological change that threaten the middle class. It’s an active conspiracy by the rich and powerful. The game is rigged. The proper response

is not just policymaking; it’s indignation and combat.

The political class has been wondering if Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, will take on Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

This speculation is usually based on the premise that Warren couldn’t actually win, but that she could move the party in her direction. But, today, even for those of us who disagree with Warren fundamentally, it seems clear that she does have a significant and growing chance of being nominated.

Her chances are rising because of that word fight.

The emotional register of the Democratic Party is growing more combative.

There’s an underlying and sometimes vituperative sense of frustration toward President Barack Obama and especially his supposed inability to go to the mat.

Events like the Brown case in Ferguson and the Garner case in New York have raised indignation levels across the progressive spectrum. Judging by recent polls, the midterm defeat has not scared Democrats into supporting the safe option; it’s made them angrier about the whole system. As the party slips more into opposition status, with the next Congress, this aggressive

outsider spirit will only grow.

In this era of bad feelings, parties are organized more around what they oppose rather than what they are for.

Republicans are against government.

Democrats are coalescing around opposition to Wall Street and corporate power. In 2001, 51 percent of Democrats were dissatisfied with the rise of corporate power, according to Gallup surveys. By 2011, 79 percent of Democrats were. According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll last month, 58 percent of Democrats said they believed that the economic and political systems were stacked against them.

Clinton is obviously tough, but she just can’t speak with a clear voice against Wall Street and Washington insiders.

Warren’s wing shows increasing passion and strength, both in opposing certain Obama nominees and in last week’s budget fight.

The history of populist candidates is that they never actually get the nomination.

The establishment wins.

That’s still likely. But there is something in the air. The fundamental truth is that every structural and historical advantage favors Clinton, but every day more Democrats embrace the emotion and view defined by Warren.

e afraid. Be very afraid. Of everything. At least that’s how it seems in our modern era of reducing danger wherever possible. And we’re not just talking about actual danger, such calamities as war, natural disaster or disease. Even the holidays — the whole Christmas season — seem to put hearth and home at risk.

Of course, some of these dangers seem real, with insurance companies sending out news releases aplenty to warn us all to secure our cars and homes to avoid being burgled for the holidays.

Lock doors and windows. Don’t leave a door ajar for a relative and don’t leave keys outside — after all, a burglar should have to work to break in. Don’t let people know you are going shopping or traveling for the holidays. Above all, hide gifts, and not just from the kids. Store them in trunks while shopping and away from windows when at home.

Other dangers come from fun, with 54 percent of Americans hosting holiday parties at home, an Allstate survey points out. (The online survey, conducted Nov. 2-5, of 1,036 Americans aged 18-plus, was representative of the American population). And those holiday parties, what with strangers in the home and yummy things cooking, can be dangerous.

Kitchen fires! A Christmas tree blaze! Fireplace accidents!

Danger lurks, even from guests. If all the party planners and party goers realized that 17 percent of Americans admit having a valuable stolen or misplaced during a party, they might cancel the party. So much for our nearest and dearest.

Cooking, that holiday passion, also holds potential for disaster. Nearly half (44 percent) of people surveyed leave a stove or oven unattended. Almost half of Americans don’t have fire extinguishers handy to douse any blaze (in that case, don’t forget to keep baking soda handy). With some 53 percent of Americans reporting that they haven’t checked or changed their smoke detectors, a fire can go undetected.

Electric lights can short out, causing fires. A live tree without enough water in the base grows dry, another fire hazard. As for candles, they always have potential to spark a blaze, whether at Christmas, during Hanukkah or any other time of the year. Have a routine set to put them out every night, without fail.

Take precautions, in other words. But then, forget the danger and enjoy the holiday season. It’s not as if Santa will fall into the hot coals on the way down the chimney and sue. Christmas, after all, comes but once a year. It’s too special a time for family and friends.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Jesus would stand with teacher, students

I

am responding to a recent story (“Albuquerque teacher quits after student writes Jesus pot story,” Dec. 10).

Rio Rancho Sharia law? Teacher Katrina Guarascio’s story sounds un-American. Harsh civil reaction to unorthodox thought is part of foreign fundamentalist contexts.

This creative teacher challenges students: set an old story in our time, a good way to learn. Fellow student complains, and an unsupported teacher is given administrative leave. School loses opportunity to teach tolerance and free speech as officials cave in to misguided complaints. Teacher under attack, resigns, a loss to students and school, and an intimidating precedent for other teachers.

Will students realize how wonderful story of loaves and fishes is, with five versions in New Testament and central to Christian faith?

Let’s encourage students to interpret Jesus’ concern for the poor.

Wouldn’t Jesus stand with teacher and student resisting religious rules and powerful tyranny? God bless Guarascio with courage to teach.

Climate competition

A scoundrel’s refuge

Santa Fe, I feel betrayed. Members of my City Council, with Councilor Patti Bushee leading the way (“Councilor introduces competing climate plan,” Dec. 11), are sabotaging the good work and direction taken by Mayor Javier Gonzales and the Climate Action Task Force.

If Bushee’s resolution is adopted, the city will be committing to the Public Service Company of New Mexico’s coal and nuclear heavy energy portfolio — with its associated regular rate increases.

Solar and wind are cheaper today.

The city produces 25 percent of its own energy consumption from solar.

The city’s energy production addresses climate, saving money, conserving water and creating hometown jobs!

Why is Bushee proposing a long-term franchise agreement with PNM? Gonzales won the election in part because he has a vision for working together with the community on the scariest crisis facing us — climate change.

I don’t want an energy plan that’s developed behind closed doors by PNM.

CIA Director John Brennan’s recent comment that agency personnel who performed “brutal interrogations” of al-Qaida suspects should be regarded as patriots recalls Samuel Johnson’s observation made in April 1775 that “patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”

We hurried to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center’s emergency room at 2 a.m., where he received amazing care and he is now in recovery. We thank Dr. David Rosen and the emergency room medical and support staffs for their quick and expert response.

We also thank the pediatric staff for their help when Ben was transferred to the floor.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 17, 1914: Fort Sumner — Six men, heading parties of farmers from Oklahoma and Texas, have been here the past week looking for locations. These men claim to represent parties of from 10 to 50 families of farmers from the cotton growing country, who have been hurt by the low prices of cotton.

Many of them are homesteaders, who left here after getting title to their claims and are now mighty anxious to come back to New Mexico. Seven years ago, the first rush of homesteaders hit Eastern New Mexico, but through ignorance of dry farming conditions, the settlers became disgusted and the majority “trekked” back to the cotton patch.

Dec. 17, 1989: Teec nos pas, Ariz. — Suspended Navajo Tribal Chairman Peter MacDonald announced Saturday that he would run for president of the sprawling Indian nation, a newly created position.

The president’s job, approved by the Navajo Tribal Council, will be less powerful than the chairman’s position The Tribal Council voted to reorganize the tribe’s government into a three-branch system to prevent abuses of power such as those alleged against MacDonald.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Social life trumps time with family Dear Annie: I have two teenage children from a previous marriage. For the past 12 years, they have lived with their mother 90 miles away, and I have visitation every other weekend and alternate holidays, etc. I have always exercised visitation faithfully and have a good relationship with both of them.

This year, my daughter has rarely come for weekend visits.

She is socially active and has things to do with her friends on weekends and says she’d rather be with them. My son comes regularly.

For the past few years, I’ve given my kids money for Christmas and birthdays so they can buy whatever they want. I always give them the same amount. Now I think I should give my daughter less because she is essentially cutting me (and her grandparents) out of her life. I have told her how much we miss seeing her on a regular basis, and she doesn’t seem to care.

I talk to the kids regularly by phone, and they both seem to enjoy telling me about their lives and events. Their mother and I are not on speaking terms. She can be irrational and is unwilling to help me.

If my daughter thinks my side of the family is not worth her time, then she shouldn’t expect to be treated the same as her brother.

My parents also have been generous to my children, and they agree. They are my parents’ only grandchildren. Am I wrong to give them different amounts? — Dad Dear Dad: Please don’t. Your daughter is a teenager, and like many teens, she has an active social life that is more important to her than either parent. She isn’t trying to marginalize you or cut you off, and if you punish her this way, it will create lifelong resentment for what is a temporary problem.

Consider making some changes to the visitation schedule so that her weekends are freer. Or perhaps, to make up for fewer weekends, you can have more of her vacation time. Look into activities in your area (rock concerts, etc.) that might appeal to her. Offer to let her bring a friend for a week-

end once in awhile. Explain that you miss her and so do her grandparents, and ask how to make this work. She will appreciate your flexibility, and in the long run, it will do your relationship good.

Dear Annie: I have an estranged sister, and we haven’t spoken in 20 years. Family members are always concerned at weddings and funerals that there will be a “scene” if both of us are invited. I feel these events are not the time or place for family squabbles.

However, at our grandmother’s funeral, I simply ignored my sister.

But she insisted that she wanted a hug from me. I simply and politely told her “no.” She stormed out, crying all the way.

I have nothing to do with this woman. I don’t make scenes at family gatherings and couldn’t care less if she’s there or not. So why is it that the majority of my family sees me as the bad guy? — Couldn’t Care Less in Idaho Dear Idaho: Because your sister enjoys giving the impression that she wants to reconcile, making you seem heartless. If you don’t care, then this shouldn’t matter to you. But we will say that after 20 years, you might want to see whether a reconciliation is possible. People can change, and being estranged from a sibling can take a toll.

Dear Annie: This is for “Taking Care of Everything in Iowa,” the sister who is caring for her parents without help from her siblings, who tell her to get a full-time job.

She already has a full-time job. My family just went through this. Dad and his wife had 24/7 caregivers, costing nearly $4,000 a month.

If they want her to find full-time work elsewhere, are they willing to pay for 24/7 caregivers? I doubt it. “Taking Care” has my utmost respect. — Just a Guy Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Official: Horse-drugging cases bottlenecked in court

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

There’s a public perception that nobody’s doing anything about unscrupulous trainers drugging race horses, state Racing Commission Director Vince Mares told a panel of lawmakers Tuesday. That perception isn’t true, Mares said, but there is a crippling bottleneck of cases in the court system.

Mares spoke to a subcommittee of the Legislative Finance Committee,

Jackalope store faces foreclosure

which is studying possible legislation to fight horse drugging. The state’s horse-racing industry has been under scrutiny since a 2012 New York Times exposé that found five of the six tracks in the nation with the highest drugging incident rates in 2011 were in New Mexico.

In 2013, the state adopted tougher sanctions against those who drug race horses. But Mares said this has led to a backlog of cases.

And while the Racing Commis-

sion is getting drug test results back from the state laboratory within two or three weeks, and the commission routinely suspends violators, Mares said the holdup comes after trainers appeal the decision to state District Court. Judges frequently grant temporary restraining orders against the commission’s actions, which allows the trainers to continue racing their horses while their appeals crawl through the courts.

Rep. Candy Ezzell, R-Roswell, a

subcommittee member who is a horse owner herself, said she fears for the horse-racing industry. If the state doesn’t take tougher action, she said, “We’re endangering horses, we’re putting jockeys at risk and we’re deceiving the public.” If this continues, she said, “We are not going to have an industry.”

Sean Cuniff, an assistant attorney general assigned to the Racing Commission, told lawmakers that

School board wrangles over unpopular program that ties teacher bonuses to test scores

Lender sues, saying it’s owed more than $4.2M

Los Alamos National Bank is suing Jackalope for more than $4 million in debt in a foreclosure case filed Monday in the First District Court in Santa Fe. The Cerrillos Road store for decades was a popular place to shop for imported pottery, rugs, furniture and other rustic home furnishings in a colorful setting reminiscent of a Mexican mercado.

But for years, the business has been borrowing money to stay afloat, the complaint says. The recession, rising supplier costs, the decline of the second-home market in Santa Fe and increased competition all have played a part in the company’s financial struggles.

Earlier this year, Jackalope began selling off its own inventory and switching to a vendor-only system.

According to the complaint, Jackalope founder/owner Darby McQuade owes the bank $4.2 million plus unpaid interest of $265,000 and late charges of $16,000. The collateral on the note was the Cerrillos Road property and its inventory.

The property is about 5 acres.

Albuquerque lawyer Ken Wagner said Los Alamos National Bank has “bent over backward trying to work with them,” and ultimately “had to take action.”

If Jackalope can’t come up with the money, Wagner said, the bank will foreclose on the property. In such circumstances, “Nobody’s made whole,” he acknowledged. But there comes a time when federal and state regulations require the bank “to move on these debts.”

Wagner said a debtor in a situation like McQuade’s has a number of options. He can try to restructure the debt through an existing lender or a new lender, which it appears McQuade has attempted to do. He

Police report drop in property crime

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Boyd said the state agency rejected the district’s first plan, and the district had to reapply for the funding with a new proposal that included use of SBA data.

Boyd said the district “can take the position that because not everybody can get it, nobody can.” But he said local teachers — who earn an average of $45,000 per year plus benefits — deserve a raise.

Four of the district’s five school board members — Steven Carrillo, Susan Duncan, Linda Trujillo and Glenn Wikle — all expressed doubts about the plan. Board member Lorraine Price was absent.

“Merit pay should not be based on test scores,” Duncan said.

Trujillo agreed but said, “I also know that our teachers are facing financial challenges.”

Wikle said has seen no evidence that merit pay impacts student achievement. He said the board faces a dilemma: “Here’s $3.8 million. Are we going to send it back to the PED or use it in a way that

School board members Steven Carrillo, who represents Santa Fe Public Schools’ District 1, and Linda Trujillo, who represents District 4, declared Tuesday that they intend to run for re-election. But the name of the third candidate whose term ends in March, Glenn Wikle, won’t appear on the Feb. 3 ballot.

Neither Carrillo nor Trujillo will be opposed in the school board election.

Glen Wikle Wikle said in an email to The New Mexican that he won’t run again. Following a redistricting effort that shifted Wikle’s residence from District 2 to District 1, he would have had to run against Carrillo to retain a seat on the board.

Two candidates have declared their intent to run for the District 2 seat: Maureen Cashman, a member of the school district’s Citizens Review Committee and the mother of two Santa Fe High students, and Peter Mitchell, who works in a law office and has two children at El Dorado Community School.

The deadline for candidates to file was 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Santa Fe County Clerk’s Office on Grant Avenue. Those who filed for candidacy have until Dec. 30 to withdraw their names if they change their minds.

Carrillo, 54, a former restaurateur and union organizer, now works in financial planning for the New York Life Insurance Co. He announced his bid to retain his board seat in mid-November.

Although no one is running against him, Carrillo has hired political consultant Scott Forrester to manage his campaign, and he intends to raise upward of $12,000 for the election.

Stipends under scrutiny

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

he Santa Fe school board indicated during a meeting Tuesday that it may rethink a plan to use $3.8 million in state money for teacher stipends after educators complained about a part of the pay-forperformance pilot program that ties the stipends to student test scores.

The Santa Fe Public Schools grant is part of a statewide allocation of $7.2 million that school districts can tap to reward effective teachers and principals, either individually or as a group within a school, with stipends of at least $1,000. The requirements for the grant money include adhering to state or district teacher evaluation plans — which include the use of student test score data, a practice that’s unpopular among teachers.

Grace Mayer, a De Vargas Middle School art teacher who serves as the president of NEA-Santa Fe, the local teachers union, told the board Tuesday that the plan is a divisive one. She said it will reward some

T

teachers over others — particularly those who work in more affluent schools where test scores may be higher because educators are dealing with fewer students who are struggling with poverty or learning English as a second language.

Mayer argued that the district did not have to include the use of Standards Based Assessment scores in its application for the grant funding — a point disputed by Superintendent Joel Boyd and Chief Information and Strategy Officer Richard Bowman.

Mayer said the NEA initially approved a plan for the stipend program that included principal observations, student attendance and the use of academic growth in reading and math from short-term assessments — but not Standards Based Assessments. She said the district then negotiated a second agreement with the state without soliciting NEA input.

The school officials said the test data was mandated by the state Public Education Department as part of the pilot program.

Jury to resume deliberations today in Advantage fraud case

By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

Lawyers in the Advantage Asphalt and Seal Coating corruption case presented two vastly differing versions Tuesday of how they want the jurors to view evidence presented during the weeklong trial.

Jurors in the case — in which Advantage and owner Joe Anthony Montoya are charged with multiple counts of bribery, fraud and conspiracy — began deliberating around noon after the attorneys’ closing arguments, but they adjourned at 5 p.m. after failing to reach a verdict. They are

scheduled to resume deliberations Wednesday.

Assistant District Attorney Tim Williams called the case “a simple, old-fashioned case of greed.” Montoya wasn’t content with getting about $7 million worth of work from Santa Fe County, Williams said. He “also felt the need to defraud the county using county equipment, materials and labor.” “ ‘Give me work and we’ll both make money’ … were the defendant’s words to [former county Public Works Director] James Lujan,” Williams said. “He can’t run from those words, the paper trail left behind. … He can’t run

from justice, and he sure as hell can’t run from you.”

Lujan, who admitted accepting free trips to Las Vegas, Nev., and cash from Advantage, has pleaded guilty to demanding or accepting a bribe and eight counts of conspiracy to commit fraud in the case.

Advantage attorney Monnica Garcia and Montoya’s defense counsel, Sam Bregman, painted a different picture. They said Montoya got the work from the county legitimately, built good roads for the county and was unaware of any billing discrepancies.

“There was nothing criminal here,” Bregman said. “At most we have a negligent procurement

office and miscommunication between the field office and Advantage. We do not have a crime.”

Bregman also attacked Lujan’s credibility as a witness and reminded jurors of the state’s burden to prove its case “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

The state presented more than a dozen witnesses and hundreds of documents over the past week.

The defense rested without putting on a case, saying the state hadn’t met its burden of proof.

FUNERAL SERVICES & MEMORIALS

JOHN ALOYSIUS MARTIN John Aloysius Martin, a banker in Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Albuquerque for many years, passed away Dec. 13, he was 92.

He and his four siblings-Tom, Roberta, George and Pat--grew up in El Rito, between Abiquíu and Ojo Caliente.

His father, George Martin, had come to New Mexico before statehood.

John Martin’s mother, Margaret Allen Martin, was an Irish nurse who had come to Santa Fe to work at St. Vincent Hospital.

After the couple married, they lived in El Rito. George Martin, a graduate of Manhattan College, had been appointed as the first president of the Spanish American Normal School there (now Northern New Mexico College) because of his knowledge of many languages. After a change of administration at the state, he lost his job and the family moved to Pueblo, Colo., where John was born in 1922.

After returning to El Rito, George Martin became a partner in the Sargent general store. He subsequently bought out Sargent; later his son Tom Martin and grandson Greg Martin ran the store until it closed in the early years of this century.

Margaret Martin worked as a nurse in El Rito. The Martins also acquired a ranch, later managed by their son Pat, daughter-in-law JoAnn, and grandchildren Mike and Tim. They were members of the San Juan Nepomuceno Catholic parish.

John Martin and his siblings attended the Normal School in El Rito. They worked on the ranch, rode their horses in the mountains, ice skated on the pond near their house, even set up an old truck engine to make a ski lift in El Rito Canyon.

He graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1949 with a major in Spanish and a minor in business. One of his professors was Rubén Cobos, author of the dictionary of Northern New Mexican Spanish.

During World War II he served in the U.S. Army in Texas, where he translated for Spanish-speaking recruits.

His first banking job was with Albuquerque Federal Savings and Loan. He and Barbara McCain were married in 1951. Their two sons, Meade and Christopher, were born in Albuquerque.

In 1964 John Martin joined the USAID Alliance for Progress, whose goal was to encourage the growth of a middle class in Latin America. The family spent almost four years living in El Salvador.

Upon returning to New Mexico, the family lived in Santa Fe. John Martin was a loan officer at First National Bank of Santa Fe, president of United Savings and Loan in Los Alamos, Santa Fe branch manager for Albuquerque Federal, and on the board of Charter Bank for Savings. After retiring from the banking industry, he worked as a real estate agent with Jim Walsh’s Adobe Realty.

In 2012, the couple moved from their house near the Santa Fe Plaza to Ponce de León retirement home, where John Martin made many new friends among the residents and staff who appreciated him for his kindness and wit, joining legions of friends from across the state and around the world.

He died from complications of a stroke, with his family present. Barbara, his wife of 63 years; sons Meade and Chris; daughters-in-law Jill and Robin; grandchildren Laura, Elliott, Sophie; and many other relatives survive him.

Rosary will be at 3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21 at San Juan Nepomuceno church in El Rito. Funeral will be at 10 a.m., Monday, Dec. 22 at Cristo Rey church in Santa Fe. Burial will be at 11:15 a.m., Dec. 23 at the National Cemetery. Rivera Family Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements: 505-753-2288.

Instead of flowers, the family requests contributions to the Empty Stocking Fund.

VIRGINIA L. MILLINGTON April 24, 1919~December 2, 2014 Virginia Louise Millington was born in San Francisco, California on April 24, 1919. Her father worked as an Operations Manager at the American Can Company on Cannery Row, Monterey. Virginia graduated from Pacific Grove High School in 1939.

At Hartnell College she met her husband Wayne Millington of Monterey, CA. They married in 1942 and moved to San Diego where they both worked on B-24’s at Consolidated Aircraft during WWII. After the war, they moved back to Monterey, where Wayne worked as an engineer for Cal Am Water. Together they raised five children. Virginia was active in the PTA and her sorority. She was a voracious reader, a gardener, and an excellent cook. At the age of 85, she moved to Santa Fe, NM to be with her daughter and family. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Wayne and her son Timothy Millington of Salinas, CA. She is survived by her daughter Mary B.

MARILLA OAKS JENKS

Marilla Oaks Jenks, educator, lay Baptist minister, and organist, died on Sunday, December 14, 2014. Born on November 19, 1923 in North Rose, NY she lived there until 1995, when she and her husband moved to St. George, UT. As a widow, in 2012 she moved to Santa Fe, NM to be with members of her family.

Marilla was a graduate of Cornell University and the State University of New York at Oswego, she trained as a hospital dietician though she never practiced that profession. Instead, she established an early home-schooling program in eastern Wayne County, NY, became the organist at Rose Baptist Church, taught piano, loved to play cards (and win!) with her family, and followed professional tennis on television, even managing to figure out how to watch one game and record others for later viewing. In Utah she was active in the St. George Community Church where she supervised the music and led services in between ministers. Her smile lit up the room wherever she was, and her quiet voice commanded even the noisiest bunch of kids or adults.

Marilla was married to Frederick Jenks for sixty years. They have three children: Seth, a teacher who lives in Santa Fe and whose children are William (Kathleen) and Jennifer (Megan); Eleanor Bloom (Edward), a teacher who lives in Connecticut; and Thomas (Jullie), an engineer working for the military in Roy, UT, and whose children are Christine and Thomas E. (Melissa). Marilla is also survived by five great -grandchildren, Brennan, Ryland, Camden, Charlotte, and Jacob Jenks, plus the family of Seth’s partner Robert L. Patten, including his children Jocelyn McMahon and Christina Kaissi, and Bob’s grandchildren Aidan and Fiona McMahon.

Also surviving are Marilla’s sister Miriam Riukas and her daughter Diana, and Fred’s brother Richard Jenks and his two children, Paige and Valerie.

There will be a memorial service at the Church at the Church of the Holy Faith at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 20, 2014. A family reunion and interment will take place in the Rose, NY cemetery in early August 2015, when Marilla will join Fred at rest in the Oaks family plot.

In lieu of flowers, the Jenks family requests that tributes be sent to support the music programs at Holy Faith, 311 East Palace Avenue, Santa Fe 87501, or to Shelter Interfaith Santa Fe, 2801 Cerrillos Road, Santa Fe 87507, where Mom volunteered one winter’s night to feed the hungry and homeless.

We are deeply grateful for the loving care, understanding, and support that Mom received from the staffs of Christus St. Vincent Hospital, Casa Rael, and Ambercare, and from the clergy and laypersons affiliated with Holy Faith. These dedicated women and men made her final journey safe and comfortable, and their bondings with Mom enriched all the lives.

Single mom receiving jobless benefits seeks help paying rent The New Mexican

Josephine, a single mother of three sons, had been homeless since January. With the help of a housing voucher from the city, she moved her family into a home in October. At the end of that month, however, she was laid off from her restaurant job.

Josephine has just been approved for unemployment benefits, but the amount she is receiving is not nearly enough to cover all of her expenses. She is working with the New Mexico Help Program to gain paid work experience and hopes to be placed at the local hospital soon to gain experience there.

Carrillo, Trujillo and Wikle were elected in 2011, when a record number of registered voters in the school district — about 10 percent, or just under 3,500 people — showed up at the polls. They were largely driven by concerns about the district’s academic standing.

In February 2012, those three new board members voted to buy out then Superintendent Bobbie Gutierrez’s contact for $168,000. They hired Joel Boyd, an assistant superintendent for the School District of Philadelphia, to replace Gutierrez in summer 2012.

Boyd has since launched an ambitious educational reform plan to improve graduation rates, offer students more career-oriented academic choices and improve the district’s

academic standing. For the most part, both Carrillo and Trujillo have supported Boyd’s initiatives, while Wikle has been more likely to question and oppose them.

The Santa Fe Community College also is electing three members to its Governing Board in the Feb. 3 election.

Candidates for that race must declare their candidacy by 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Three seats are open on the school board for Pojoaque Valley Schools, as well. The three sitting board members who are up for re-election — J. David Ortiz, Fernando Quintana and Chris Williams — all filed to run by the deadline Tuesday.

Also running in the Pojoaque race are Toby Velasquez, Kellen Nelson and Jeffrey Atencio.

Wolf Creek Ski Area exec fined $5,000

By Anne Constable The New Mexican

Colorado federal Magistrate Judge David West on Tuesday ordered Davey Pitcher, president and CEO of the Wolf Creek Ski Area, to pay a $5,000 fine for failing to obtain a permit from the U.S. Forest Service before engaging in avalanche and search-and-rescue training outside the boundaries of the ski area in Southern Colorado.

Colin Sutton, 38, a ski patrolman at Wolf Creek who had grown up in Santa Fe, was killed March 4 in an avalanche off Diablo Ridge while testing the snow conditions.

Pitcher had been cited for five misdemeanor offenses involving use of a helicopter to conduct activity without written authorization and for using explosives without a permit.

The citations involved trainings Feb. 11 and March 3 and 4.

His most recent permit had expired in 2011.

He pleaded guilty to one count last month.

Pitcher acknowledges that it was ultimately his responsibility to obtain a permit before conducting these activities in National Forest lands, a statement from Wolf Creek says.

In addition to the fine, the court ordered that Pitcher continue to provide at least 100 hours per year of search-and-rescue training and services, as he has in years past, with Archuleta County, Mineral County and the Forest Service. The court made these conditions of Pitcher’s probation for a period of five years, which may be converted to unsupervised probation once certain procedures are coordinated.

Pitcher said in a statement, “We take this very seriously and look forward to continuing this very important work with the formal approval of the appropriate agencies. I feel it’s very important to pass on what I’ve learned and to facilitate the training for [Wolf Creek Ski Area’s] dedicated staff and assist other agencies when called upon.”

Pitcher still faces fines from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in connection with Sutton’s death.

In brief Mother in Taos minivan chase arraigned Sentencing for Rodella delayed Former Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella’s sentencing has been rescheduled from Dec. 26 to Jan. 21, 2015.

A notice filed Monday said the date change was necessary because President Barack Obama issued an executive order earlier this month excusing most federal employees from work Dec. 26, the Friday after Christmas.

Rodella in September was convicted in U.S. District Court of violating the civil rights of an Española man while using a firearm after a traffic stop in March turned into a road rage incident.

Rodella could be sentenced to up to 17 years in prison.

Rodella’s lawyer, Robert Gorence, has asked the court to grant his client a new trial because he claims prosecutors misled jurors about evidence used against the former sheriff.

U.S. District Judge James Browning has not ruled on the defense lawyer’s request.

Maez to replace state Rep. Stewart The Bernalillo County Commission on Tuesday appointed Stephanie Maez to fill state Rep. Mimi Stewart’s District 21 House seat in Albuquerque.

The commission earlier named Stewart to replace state Sen. Tim Keller. Keller last month was elected state auditor.

A news release said Maez had worked in Gov. Bill Richardson’s office, where she analyzed legislation, film-related proposals, capital outlay requests and constituent concerns.

She also did communications work for Public Service Company of New Mexico, lobbied for the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce and worked as the outreach director for New Mexico Voices for Children.

Currently, Maez is the chief executive officer at the Center for Civic Policy, a nonprofit that has been involved in state policy.

State Rep. Phillip Archuleta dies Freshman state Rep. Phillip Archuleta, D-Las Cruces, died Tuesday from complications related to pneumonia, the Democratic Party of Doña Ana County told the Las Cruces SunNews. He was 65.

The newspaper reported Tuesday that the legislator had been hospitalized for a week.

He had suffered multiple health problems in the past year, including the amputation of a leg.

Archuleta last month lost his re-election bid to Republican challenger Andy Nuñez, who served House District 36 for 12 years as a Democrat. Nuñez ran as an Independent when Archuleta ousted him in 2012.

Archuleta missed last year’s 30-day legislative session due to injuries, but he campaigned in a motorized wheelchair when seeking a new term. He repaid $5,085.84 in per diem and mileage payments that he collected during the session he missed.

By Andrew Oxford The Taos News

TAOS — Oriana Farrell did not intend to spend 14 months in New Mexico as she passed through the state last year with her five children en route to California. But the Tennessee woman, who got caught up in a notorious traffic stop, could soon be allowed to leave.

Farrell, 40, was back in a Taos courtroom Tuesday morning for arraignment as prosecutors launched a new case against her in connection with the now widely reported traffic stop near Taos in October 2013, during which she fled with her children from state police officers as one of them fired at her minivan.

The Tennessee woman was indicted last month on charges of child abuse,

aggravated fleeing of a law enforcement officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. Farrell had been indicted on identical charges Nov. 7, 2013, but that case was dismissed this summer following objections regarding the grand jury process.

Eighth Judicial District Attorney Emilio Chávez told Judge Sarah Backus the new case could be ready for trial in a month.

A lawyer representing Farrell, Alan Maestas, said many questions remain unanswered and more time may be required before the case proceeds to trial. Maestas said he is still seeking disciplinary records for state police officers involved in the traffic stop, which devolved into a roadside fracas and resulted in one officer being terminated.

Farrell’s attorney said he is also seeking recordings from state police dispatchers.

Chávez said he did not oppose Farrell leaving the state. But Oriana Farrell he requested a waiver of extradition, which would expedite her return to Taos if she does not appear in court.

Speaking to reporters after her arraignment Tuesday, Farrell said she was “very disappointed that the charges were refiled.”

Mayim Ginnel said Tuesday that she did not feel Yazzie’s sentence provided justice.

Yazzie, who gave an Albuquerque address and previously had given his mailing address as St. Elizabeth Shelter in Santa Fe, has been arrested 28 times in Santa Fe since 2010, reports said. Charges have included assault on a police officer, assault, aggravated battery, drinking in public, disorderly conduct and shoplifting.

He has been jailed at least two dozen times since 2010, including six times in 2013.

Online court records show he also pleaded guilty to a felony count of aggravated assault on a household member in state District Court in Gallup in 2003.

Search resumes for missing man The search for a 29-year-old Santa Fe man who was reported missing over the weekend resumed Tuesday near the Santa Fe ski basin, a state Department of Public Safety official said.

Bob Rodgers, a resource officer for the department’s search and rescue team, said a group of 15 people searched for Laurence Longwell on Tuesday after halting a two-day search Monday.

Longwell, whose car was found at the Winsor Trailhead, was reported missing Saturday.

Rodgers said family members believe the man may be lost in that area.

Sasha Wilcoxon, Longwell’s sister, has said she found his car early Saturday after she went looking for him. Wilcoxon said it wouldn’t be unusual for her brother to go hiking alone.

State police described Longwell as 6-foot-5 and weighing between 200 and 240 pounds, with blue eyes and dark brown hair. Police also said the man has a short beard. Longwell was last seen wearing a black jacket with white sleeves.

Police asked that anyone with information call 827-9300.

Previous recordings were not coherent, Maestas said.

A jury trial was tentatively scheduled for Feb. 23.

In the meantime, Maestas said Farrell may be able to return to her home state of Tennessee. Waiting for trial in New Mexico has displaced Farrell and her children, Maestas told the court. “Ms. Farrell is not financially stable,” he said.

“She is now in the state for 14 months on what was supposed to be a trip to California.”

Free on bond since November 2013, Farrell has reportedly been living in Santa Fe. Farrell was entitled to release on her recognizance, the judge said, but she was ordered to ask the court before leaving New Mexico. Her attorney said she will

Defense is now name of Lobos’ game

Back as Redskins starter, RG3 goes low-key

By Joseph White The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — If ironing out the wrinkles at the offensive end were as easy as it has been on defense, the sailing would be a whole lot smoother for The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team.

Riding a three-game winning streak entering Wednesday’s date with winless Central Arkansas in The Pit, the Lobos (6-3) have gotten downright defensive since a slew of injuries sent the team’s offensive firepower into a deep freeze in late November.

They’ve held each of their last three opponents to 47 or fewer points, holding all three to less than 35 percent shooting.

Ever so slowly they are creeping up the NCAA’s leaderboard for both points allowed (56.7; 22nd nationally) and field

goal defense (37.4 percent; 34th).

If you buy what head coach Craig Neal is selling, owning a stifling D is all about attitude, trust and assertion. It certainly helps to have the physical tools, too. Despite losing 7-footer Alex Kirk and 6-9 Cameron Bairstow to the NBA after last season, the Lobos are as big as ever.

“We’re getting better defensively,” Neal said. “We’ve done a good job defensively.

I tell you one thing that does show up that

Sundevils edge Demons

ASHBURN, Va. — Robert Griffin III isn’t saying much these days, even though he is again the starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins.

His coach continues to speak volumes.

Griffin used to be good for at least one good laugh-out-loud quip per week when he wasn’t stirring things up on social media, but his news conference Tuesday was again stocked with rote answers and clichés such as: “We’ve got to make sure that as a team we go out there ready to play.”

He hasn’t written a Facebook or Twitter post since a round of Happy Thanksgiving wishes last month, and he said he’ll stay away from both until the season’s over.

“For me, anything that I was saying, whether it was positive or negative, it was getting twisted and turned against me and against this team,” Griffin said. “I felt like I shouldn’t say very much.”

Griffin has been given the starting job for the third time this season, each time under different circumstances.

He was the undisputed franchise QB coming out of training camp, but he dislocated his ankle in Week 2. When he returned, he played poorly and was benched after three games.

Now’s he back once again, getting the call for Saturday’s game as the Redskins (3-11) host the Philadelphia Eagles because Colt McCoy has a sprained neck. McCoy was placed on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday.

Coach Jay Gruden said he just wants someone to “take the position and run with it.” Griffin wouldn’t take the bait when asked about that statement.

Yankees GM: A-Rod now a DH

By Ronald Blum The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez faces a diminished role in his return to the New York Yankees, who have stripped A-Rod of his third-base job and plan to limit his role to full-time designated hitter — at most.

General manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday that A-Rod’s days as an everyday fielder are Alex over in the Bronx, Rodriguez and Chase Headley will start at third after agreeing this week to a $52 million, four-year contract.

Coming off a season-long suspension for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract, Rodriguez will have to compete with Mar-

ared Garduño is the guy who wants the ball when the game is on the line.

The guy who keeps his cool under pressure.

The guy who can change the momentum of the game.

Basically, he’s the guy who is going to have the ball in a tight game.

Garduño, a senior guard for Española Valley, scored 10 of his gamehigh 27 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Sundevils past Santa Fe High in nail-biting 57-56 nondistrict boys basketball game in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium on Tuesday night.

After only scoring seven points in the first half, Garduño and fellow guard Uriah Arellano hit back-toback 3-pointers to cut Santa Fe High’s lead to 38-33 with :48 left in the third quarter. The plays were key in helping the Sundevils (8-2) erase a 33-19 halftime deficit and make a 23-8 run on the Demons (5-4) in the quarter.

Garduño gave Española a 50-48 lead, its first since the opening seconds of the game, with a layup off the glass with 4:51 left in the game. He hit another layup on the next possession to give the Sundevils a four-point lead and force Santa Fe High head coach David Rodriguez to burn a timeout.

It’s no coincidence that Garduño put up a lot of points when his team needed them. This is where he is supposed to shine.

“I expect to get the ball a lot and score a lot because I’m just a big-

“And you can have teachers come and watch, your grandparents or your little brothers and sisters or other people can see it. In some ways, tournaments are what kill our sport.”

While tournaments offer wrestlers a chance to get three or four matches in a day, a dual match gives a team a chance to show how good it is, because every match is a one-on-one contest between your team and the opponent. And may the best team win.

There was a stretch, from 2000 to ’05, when the New Mexico Activities Association had a state dual championship held after the individual tournament.

The great part about that tournament is that it promoted the team

aspect of the sport, something that can get lost in the individual format.

Gallegos said many teammates tend to just mill around and hang out in the stands, even though teammates might still be wrestling.

At the Los Lunas Duals, he saw Jaguars doing the same thing.

“We had guys wrestling, and everybody is getting ready to go out and eat,” Gallegos said. “We came back and fixed that real quick.”

Of course, there are down sides — mainly teams that cannot field a full roster for all 14 weight classes, leading to forfeits for wrestlers in those classes in need of mat time. Individual tournaments offer that.

But it’s still not the same as watching two teams duke it out to see who has the best team.

That’s what you get with dual matches, and it’s good to see them coming back.

Lobos: Injuries contribute to defense-heavy tactics Continued from Page B-5 we have never had and we’ve never talked about is our length. I mean, our guys change shots. … Our length is causing some problems.”

The Lobos’ lineup is actually nearly identical in size to last year’s starting five. The shortest player is reboundhungry point guard Hugh Greenwood at 6-3. Alongside him — for the time being, pending injuries — is 6-4 guard Xavier Adams.

The others are 6-5 guard Deshawn Delaney, 6-8 forward Devon Williams and 7-1 center Abij Aget.

Coming off the bench are 6-9 forward Jordan Goodman and 6-10 backup center J.J. N’Ganga.

Before the season, Neal said his team would be a run-and-gun club.

He had plenty of reason to think that

way. With Kirk and Bairstow gone and seven guards at his disposal this year, it was safe to assume that the gazelles in the backcourt would dictate tempo with a slew of fresh legs and itchy trigger fingers.

Injuries derailed that. And if it wasn’t the injuries, a heaping helpful of cold shooting is a good excuse.

Same, too, for the Lobos’ complete lack of scoring punch when facing the zone.

Neal said he wants his guards to take the reins against the zone by driving the ball and taking the heat off the post players by creating opportunities at the rim.

“When we’re turning the corner on ball screen in the zone, we’re not getting in the paint,” Neal said. “We’re not driving it, making two guys play us. The biggest thing in the zone is

you gotta make two guys play one and we’re not doing that. We’re kind of going around the perimeter, the 3-point line. When we catch it in the high post we’re not looking to make a play.”

When countering the man-to-man defense, UNM has the goods to work the ball inside and allow its guards to move the ball around for a good shot — something they have not done against the zone. Neal said the offense is at its best when reversing the ball in the half-court set. It frees up just enough space for the shooters and opens lanes for penetration.

Against the zone, it all falls on the guards to hit from the outside — something they don’t do particularly well.

Despite a 3-point defense that is holding opponents to just 24.7 percent

shooting — ranking sixth-best in the country — the offense is hitting just 27.1 percent of its shots from distance.

That total was punctuated by an abysmal 4-for-20 effort in the most recent win over the weekend against Louisiana-Monroe.

“I think the only reason we shot 20 in that last game is they played zone,” Neal said. “When guys think they’re open they think they have a right to shoot, but there will be some discussion today in film.”

For now, defense is the name of the game. That means a throwback to the days of the early Steve Alford era when the former Lobos coach preferred to grind games out with a suffocating defense.

Neal is fine with that. He has the personnel to do just that.

“We can get a lot better defensively

and we’ll have to get a lot better defensively for conference,” he said.

NOTES Goodman will be a welcome addition to the Lobos’ lineup against Central Arkansas. Having missed the last four games after suffering a concussion in practice on Nov. 25, he has been aggravatingly inconsistent all season.

He’s been great at times — he had 19 points and five rebounds in a win over George Mason on Nov. 21 — and literally nonexistent at others. Neal has said all along that it’s not Goodman’s skill that’s in question. It’s his health.

It doesn’t help that he learned to play defense one way and is now being asked to do it another now that he’s at UNM. “When you play zone your entire junior college career, I don’t think it’s helpful for when you’re trying to come in here and play team defense,” Neal said.

By Neal’s count, Goodman has only participated in 10 of the team’s 46 practices.

B-7

PREP ROUNDUP

Dragons hold on for win over Wolves The New Mexican

added 11 and Ivan Davila 10.

This time, the Santa Fe Waldorf Wolves tried digging themselves out of a hole instead of giving their opponents a hand out of one.

M. del Sol 49 And the Monte del Sol Dragons tried to S.F. Waldorf 46 lend a helping hand.

The Wolves trailed 34-20 at the half of a nondistrict boys basketball game against Monte del Sol, but their rally was not enough as the Dragons held on for a 49-46 win at Christian Life Academy on Tuesday night. Waldorf finished its 2014 portion of the 2014-15 season at 5-3, while Monte del Sol improved to 4-2.

The Dragons used their transition game to built their halftime lead, which was highlighted by an 18-9 scoring advantage in the second quarter. Ryan Vander Ham took advantage of that to the tune of 21 points before the break.

“We worked the ball around in the first half,” Monte del Sol head coach Nick Rivera said. “We had some good communication, we put some pressure on them and had a few turnovers.”

The Wolves turned the tables in the second half and exerted more pressure on the Dragons’ guards, who were missing point guard Javi Castillo with a potentially season-ending knee injury. They trimmed the margin to 46-35 entering the fourth quarter and got within three several times in the final few minutes.

Waldorf had a chance to force overtime, but Augie Ciofalo’s 3-pointer at the buzzer drew only iron.

“If one thing falls here and another thing falls there, we got a chance,” Waldorf head coach Rob Clifford said. “It just didn’t happen.”

Monte del Sol got 11 points from Chris Baker, while Waldorf was led by Abel Knouse’s 14 points and 11 rebounds. Ciofalo

ACADEMY FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS 33, NEW MEXICO SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 32 The Roadrunners (0-9) led 11-9 at the half and 24-20 entering the fourth quarter, but the Phoenix beat them with a 3 with :03.7 left for the nondistrict win in Larsen Gymnasium.

Eloy Garcia led NMSD qwith 17 points, while Devon Thompson had 10 rebounds and four blocks.

GIRLS ST. MICHAEL’S 46, BERNALILLO 41 Even though the Lady Horsemen clamped down on the Lady Spartans’ 3-point shooting, Bernalillo trimmed a 31-22 deficit to 35-32 heading into the fourth quarter of a nondistrict game in Richard Joseph Kloeppel Gymnasium. Martin Romero, St. Michael’s head coach, said a lot of that had to do with the intensity of the St. Michael’s defense.

“We mixed up our defenses and they only hit one 3 after [the half],” Romero said. “After that, it turned into a foul-fest and it was an ugly game. But that’s life on the road.”

Jocelyn Fernandez had a team-high 12 points, while Alex Groenewold added 11. Alleah Candelaria paced Bernalillo with 19 points.

SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 57, TAOS 40 When the Lady Braves (4-3) started getting their hands on passes, that swung momentum their way as they allowed Taos just 14 points after the half. The Lady Tigers trimmed an 18-10 first-quarter deficit to 28-26 at the half.

“We just started working harder on defense, and started making some turnovers and getting a lot of tips,” said Lanse Carter, SFIS head coach. “We had 10 tips and that led to 10 steals, so that helps.”

So does a balanced scoring effort. Kayla Joe had 16 points, and Randee Toya added

10 for the Lady Braves. Milan Schimmel had nine, while Cody Aguilar and Allison Chavarillo each had seven. Midnight Lujan led Taos with 17 points, while Elena Espinoza added 13.

SANTA FE WALDORF 37, MONTE DEL SOL 31 The inexperienced Lady Dragons are living — and dying — with the jump shot.

“We’re still so young and learning,” Monte del Sol head coach Ricardo Arredondo said. “We don’t have much of an inside presence, so we have trouble feeding it into the post. Most of our game is from the perimeter, and when we’re on, we’re on.”

So, was Lady Wolves post Alex Chastenet. She had 22 points to help pave the way for their comeback. Monte del Sol led 24-23 entering the fourth quarter, but Waldorf (4-4) outscored its visiting opponent 14-7 the rest of the way. Ali Castillo led the Lady Dragons (3-7) with 12 points.

ESPAÑOLA VALLEY 51, VALENCIA 41 Christmas came early for Cindy Roybal, as she saw her Lady Sundevils put together their most complete defensive effort of the season to beat the Lady Jaguars in Edward Medina Gymnasium.

“Our defense, it was like how I drew it up,” said Roybal, the Lady Sundevils head coach. “We’ve been waiting for that communication and to play as a team. It was picture perfect.”

It couldn’t have come at a better time, as Española (7-1) comes to Santa Fe High for a date with the Demonettes on Thursday.

Española: Demons rack up 17 turnovers Continued from Page B-5 time player, you know what I mean?” Garduño said. “I live for those big moments. Just the littlest thing gets me ticked off, and something must have ticked me off, and that’s how we’re able to make runs.”

But Garduño wasn’t the only one who kept his composure.

The Sundevils were down by as much as 35-19 in the third quarter, but they outscored the Demons 38-21 after that.

Santa Fe High had a chance to win, but senior post Joseph Trujillo blocked a 3-pointer from Warren Fulgenzi Jr. as the final buzzer sounded.

Española never wavered, and that was due in part to its expectations as well as a testament that chemistry the team has built, especially with Garduño, Trujillo and point guard D.J. Curtis.

“A great team will always make a run, and we made a great run to come back,” Garduño said. “That’s what got us back into the flow. Our team did a good job.

“I think we’ve been together so much since last year that I think we have a bond. I have trust in them and they have trust in me. I just kept pushing forward. I didn’t look down that entire time.”

Where the Sundevils were dominant in the second half, the Demons more so in the first half. Santa Fe High ended the first quarter with a 13-9 lead

and eventually got a doubledigit lead thanks to a 9-2 run to end the first half.

It was everything Rodriguez could have hoped for.

“There’s certain things that

even the smartest coaches in the world can’t do every night, and that’s get his team ready to play,” he said. “It’s an individual and team thing, and my kids did it. They did it [Tuesday] against a good team, and we were ready to go. Everyone played hard and everyone contributed.”

But a lack of production against a stout Española press and five missed free throws in the fourth quarter spelled doom for the Demons.

“We knew they were going to make their runs,” Rodriguez said. “We were tentative at times against the press, and we didn’t execute offensively.”

The Demons also gave the ball away 17 times, when a few less turnovers could have made the difference.

“If we kept that to 12 [turnovers], then we walk away happy,” Rodriguez said.

There is little time for either team to dwell on this game because St. Michael’s is coming to town. The Horsemen pay a visit to Edward Medina Gymnasium on Wednesday before a rematch with the Demons on Friday — and those games won’t be easy for anyone.

“We’re a hard team to beat, but we have to play great [Wednesday] because St. Mike’s always brings it,” Garduño said.

Española is a hard team to beat, especially when Garduño has the ball.

A-Rod: Hasn’t played full season since ’07 Continued from Page B-5 tin Prado for time as Headley’s backup at third.

“I can’t expect Alex to be anything,” Cashman said during a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “I’ve got to think the worst and hope for the best. Even before the suspension, he wasn’t the same player at third base on the defensive or offensive side. And that was before the suspension.

“And now he’s been out of the game for a year. He’s approaching 40 years of age.

And just to automatically assume given his circumstances that he’ll be able to plug right in, play third as an everyday guy and hold up and be productive, I think that would be dangerous thinking from my perspective, in the seat I’m sitting in.”

Rodriguez turns 40 in July and has not played a full season since 2007 because of leg injuries, operations on both hips and the suspension. Cashman said A-Rod will have to prove to manager Joe Girardi he can play the field.

“So given all that circumstance, we look forward to him hopefully solidifying himself as a tremendous DH for us, and if he shows he has retained athleticism, then he can play third as a choice when Joe decides to give Headley a rest,” Cashman said. “He can compete for Joe’s thought process, whether it’s Prado swinging over or Alex playing third.”

Cashman said he has not spoken with Rodriguez about his new role.

“I don’t need to. I’ve been very consistent with my

conversations publicly from October on,” he said. “I have not heard from Alex on any of that, and I know he reads all this stuff.”

Rodriguez is owed $61 million by the Yankees in the final three seasons of his contract, and New York could use improvement at DH — its players there combined to hit .230 this year (12th in the AL) with 18 homers (11th), 63 RBIs (13th), a .290 on-base percentage (14th) and a .372 slugging percentage (12th), according to STATS. Acquired from San Diego in July, Headley convinced the Yankees to keep him. He will get $13 million each year and the chance to earn an additional $1 million annually in performance bonuses based on plate appearances. He would

receive a one-time $1 million assignment bonus if traded.

“We measure a lot of different things on the hitting analytics as well as our scouting assessments of him,” Cashman said. “He’s got plate discipline.

He’s got power. … We like his leadership. We like his abilities.

We think he’s an exceptional defender.”

Headley hit .229 with seven homers and 32 RBIs last season for the Padres and .262 with six homers and 17 RBIs in 191 atbats for New York.

His offense improved after a herniated disk in his back was treated with an epidural injection June 20.

“If the back rears its ugly head, we know the process necessary to deal with that. So it was a risk that we felt worth taking,” Cashman said.

Dinner in no time: Herb, meat latkes

By Bonnie S. Benwick The Washington Post

These herby potato pancake alternatives might be just the small kitchen miracle you’re looking for at Hanukkah time. Israeli author Janna Gur says that unlike regular potato latkes, these can be made in advance and served at room temperature.

The larger your griddle/frying surface, the quicker you’ll be able to form and cook the latkes. Because these are delicate, we recommend using the twospatula method for turning them over.

Adapted from Gur’s Jewish Soul Food From Minsk to Marrakesh: More Than 100 Unforgettable Dishes Updated for Today’s Kitchen (Schocken Books, 2014).

HERB AND MEAT LATKES Total time: 40 minutes; makes 15 or 16 pancakes 1 large onion 1 bunch parsley 1 bunch cilantro Leaves from ½ bunch fresh mint DEB LINDSEY/FOR THE 4 scallions WASHINGTON POST 4 large eggs 2 tablespoons matzoh meal or plain dried bread crumbs 5 ounces lean ground beef 5 ounces lean ground lamb 2 to 3 tablespoons pine nuts (optional) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Vegetable oil, for frying Preparation: Coarsely chop the onion, parsley, cilantro (leaves plus tender stems for both) and mint, adding each one to the food processor as you work. Trim the scallions, then coarsely chop all but the tough dark-green parts; add to the food processor along with the eggs and matzoh meal or bread crumbs.

Pulse just long enough to evenly chop but not puree the ingredients. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Add the ground beef, ground lamb and pine nuts, if using, to the mixing bowl. Season with a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Combine thoroughly; the mixture will be wet and loose. Let it sit for 5 minutes while the oil heats up, during which time the mixture will thicken a bit. Seat a wire cooling rack over a few layers of paper towels.

Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet, or preferably an electric skillet, over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, use a large spoon to ladle enough of the latke mixture to form four or five thin 3-inch pancakes in the skillet. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned in spots, then use two spatulas to carefully turn over the latkes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned on the second side. Transfer to the wire rack to drain; sprinkle each one lightly with salt.

Cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Repeat to use all the latke mixture, adding teaspoons of oil to the skillet as needed and waiting until the oil is hot. If the oil gets too dark from burnt pieces, wipe out the skillet and start with fresh oil.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

By Tantri Wija For The New Mexican

ine can be scary. For people who don’t drink a lot of wine, speak French or travel to Sonoma, Calif., every chance they get, wine lists and wine shops can be a mystery, a touchy foodie gauntlet where you’ll get the word terroir thrown at you like you’re expected to somehow know what it means and how it affects what you want to drink. And if you fail, you’ll get thrown out into the cold night like the peasant you are and have to make your way blindly through the snow to the closest available drive-thru.

Luckily, this is not quite true.

As the holidays roll around, people have parties to go to and parties to throw, dinners to attend and dinners to recover from. They’re going to need wine. But wine buying can be intimidating, like car shopping — you think you need a wealth of specialized knowledge or to have taken a sommelier course to avoid paying too much for something you won’t like. But all wine is not created equal, and the people selling you wine have an interest in making sure you get something you will like so that you come back and see them again.

“People sometimes come in gruff, angry, intimidated by wine,” says Steve Dietz, assistant manager of Susan’s Fine Wine & Spirits, Santa Fe’s go-to libation shop. “People who only buy wine once a year, at the holidays, may be more uncomfortable with it.” Susan’s, 1005 S. St. Francis Drive, is a well-stocked shop overflowing with every kind of liquor, beer and wine you might need for your holiday festivities. Dietz, an enthusiastic wine ambassador, does all the wine buying and eagerly doles out real, earthy advice to his customers about to how to pick wines they’ll actually enjoy. He’s even been known to help people at other stores if he happens to see them floundering in the wine section while he’s out shopping for groceries.

For Dietz, describing his wares to people often involves innovative, even poetic descriptions, rather than, as he puts it, “jargon, wine speak or beer speak.” He has described one seasonal beer, for example, as being “like when you wake up in the morning in the winter, and it’s snowy and the sun’s out, and you open the door and you get tiny little particles of snow that brush your face.”

A description like that is more visceral than tired adjectives like “crisp” and “refreshing,” and, says Dietz, “It really honestly conveys a sense of what that product is.”

For an even more immersive wine-buying experience, consider a little drive to the northwest side to visit Arroyo Vino. Arroyo Vino isn’t so much a liquor store as it is a winebuying experience. Located in Las Campanas, across from the clubhouse, this combined

They sell spirits and beer, mostly as a courtesy to their customers, but “not a ton of either one. We’re really a wine shop that sells spirits.”

Plus, wine is generally meant to be enjoyed with food, and Arroyo Vino has a restaurant.

Some of Bargsten’s regulars consider the wine shop a convenience for the restaurant, but actually the wine shop came first. The restaurant grew out of a desire on Bargsten and Mabrey’s part to open a simple wine bar with small plates to enhance the appreciation of their bottles. But now Arroyo Vino has grown into a big-boy restaurant, with a rotating menu of seasonal, full-size entrées and desserts. They have a large and eclectic array of wines by the glass on offer every night, but the real draw for wine lovers is the shop, where you can select (or have Bargsten select) a wine from their voluminous selection that you can enjoy right there with your meal, effectively giving Arroyo Vino the world’s largest restaurant wine list.

There is a $20 service fee on top of the bottle price for that, well below the markup on wine at most restaurants.

Bargsten knows a lot about his customer base’s taste preferences. The shop keeps track of what its customers buy in a database so that when they come back, they can remember something they particularly liked or identify something they didn’t care for.

It helps Bargsten help them figure out what they do or don’t want to get next time (since many people, even frequent wine drinkers, can’t remember the name on a wine label). Arroyo Vino also hosts weekly tast-

IF YOU GO

ings for $25 (the tasting fee is refunded if you make a $100 purchase).

When choosing a wine this holiday season, consider how and when you’re going to consume it, since that affects what you should buy.

“There’s a lot of wines that by themselves are not very flashy; they’re elegant wines, pretty wines, and they pair well with food,” says Bargsten. “Those tend to be Old World wines” (meaning wines from Europe or at least made in the European style), and are a good choice for your holiday dinner party.

Wines made anywhere other than Europe are considered “New World wines,” though the term can describe a style as well. “New World-style wine is much more fruit forward, softer tannin, softer structure, more a wild to be consumed by itself,” says Bargsten, making it an ideal choice to bring to a holiday party as a cocktail wine.

“People have their own descriptors for how they evaluate wines, how their senses perceive wines,” Bargsten says. “Some people might call something sweet, some might call it fruity.” Someone once described a wine to him as “smell[ing] like arsenic.”

A good wine choice can begin from a flavor profile, a wine remembered fondly from a restaurant dinner or a recommendation in a magazine. Dietz says he usually reads about a trend in the various established wine publications, like Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, before noticing an uptick in sales in the store.

People are introduced to it in restaurants, and once they know they like it, they come into the store for it and because it’s so much cheaper to buy by the bottle.

And if you’re adventurous, let Bargsten or Dietz pick something for you that they particularly like (both are enthusiastic about German wines (which are surprisingly affordable since they’re tragically underrated) and grower Champagnes, which come from small growervintners in the Champagne region of France who bottle their own grapes, making them a distinctive choice for holiday festivities.

Either way, Bargsten and Dietz, who after all make it their business to know every wine in their shops, will happily make you confident in whatever you end up buying. Terroir optional.

Rental car return process can leave you on the hook

A sign hangs out in front of the soon-to-move out Breckenridge Cannabis Club, which sells recreational marijuana products, on the main commercial street that runs through the ski town of Breckenridge, Colo. BRENNAN LINSLEY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Culture clash: Ski vs. stoner Colorado resort towns fear pot law could keep families away

By Kristen Wyatt The Associated Press

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. usiness is booming in Colorado’s mountain resorts, and the addition of recreational marijuana stores this year has attracted customers curious about legalized pot. But there’s mounting anxiety that ski towns have embraced stoner culture a little too much, potentially damaging the state’s tourism brand.

That worry flared up in two resort towns last week. In Breckenridge, residents voted overwhelmingly to force downtown’s lone dispensary off Main Street to a less-visible location. And just up the road in Granby, town officials used a property annex to prevent the first dispensary from opening there.

The fear is that some families — a mainstay of the ski tourism industry — will stop vacationing here.

“It’s not a morality issue, or that we think marijuana is bad,” said Breckenridge Councilman Gary Gallagher, who supported legal marijuana but also voted to force the Breckenridge Cannabis Club out of downtown.

“Marijuana, it is not in this country’s DNA yet. It’s a little bit too early.”

So far, there’s no indication that legal pot has damaged tourism, Colorado’s No. 2 industry.

The state notched a record $17.3 billion in tourism spending the year after legalization, with a record 64.6 million visitors, and state tourism officials say 2014 is poised to top last year’s record.

B

But it’s an open question whether pot has anything to do with it.

Officials cite the improving economy and the weather, with healthy snow totals historically being the most significant driver for mountain visits.

The state and its marijuana industry are barred by law from advertising weed out of state, and the head of the Colorado Tourism Office says the state isn’t tracking the role of marijuana in tourist behavior.

“It’s all anecdotal,” Al White said. “I have heard from some angry parents who said they’ll never come back to Colorado because of marijuana. And I’ve also heard from people who say they came to Colorado just to see the marijuana.

“At the end of the day, it may be having a modest effect, but it’s not huge either way.”

The recent friction isn’t the first time officials have moved to lower marijuana’s profile.

The nation’s largest ski operator, Vail Resorts, made headlines over the last year tearing down makeshift shelters built illicitly in hard-to-reach areas and used by stoners to “get safe,” mountain slang for toking up out of the cold and away from ski patrollers.

Resorts across the state are dotted with the so-called smoke shacks, and some of them are decades old.

“We will continue to communicate that consumption of marijuana is illegal in public and on federal land,” Vail Resorts’ Russ Pecoraro said in a statement about destroying the shacks in its four areas, Beaver Creek,

Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail.

Still, at rates greater than their urban neighbors, mountain communities backed marijuana legalization in 2012, including Breckenridge, an early and enthusiastic support base, and there’s no doubt that recreational pot has had an effect on ski towns.

A state-produced July report on the new marijuana industry concluded that 90 percent of recreational sales in mountain resort communities go to out-of-state visitors.

The influx of shoppers — and camera crews that have become frequent sights as they work on pot-themed news stories and documentaries — has prompted a lively debate among residents about how pot is changing their resorts.

“Whether you’re pro-marijuana or against marijuana, you have to be concerned about how tourists react to seeing it,” said Bob Gordman, a Breckenridge retiree who voted to move the dispensary.

Others say the marijuana novelty will die down naturally and that resort towns shouldn’t worry about dispensaries or the souvenir shops that put “Rocky Mountain High” puns on T-shirts.

“In five or 10 years, it’ll be no big issue,” said Bill Kiser, a Breckenridge retiree who voted to keep the dispensary on Main Street.

“Why don’t families get turned off when they go on vacation and see a bar and people drinking alcohol? Because they’re used to it,” Kiser said.

“People will eventually get used to this, too.”

udget Rent a Car recently quoted Roy Bonney a $96 rate for a one-day rental from Norfolk to Washington. But it sent him a bill for $3,374.

The reason? A tire on Bonney’s car went flat only a few hours before his flight back home to Alaska, while he was parked at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, in D.C. There was no spare, so he had to call Budget Roadside Assistance for help. Budget promised to send another car and a tow truck to pick up the car with the flat, but it gave an estimated arrival time of more than two hours — not soon enough to catch his flight.

“I asked if I could leave the car for Budget to pick up, since they were sending a tow truck anyway, and I’d make other arrangements to get to the airport,” he said. “A Budget employee agreed.”

Bonney assumed that the phone conversation was an official transfer of the vehicle back to Budget. It wasn’t. The tow truck couldn’t access Bonney’s vehicle because it wasn’t allowed on base. So Budget treated the rental as if he’d never returned it, broadsiding him with a $3,278 bill.

Car-rental company representatives say it’s simple: Unless the vehicle is in their possession, it’s your responsibility.

The rental contract, which you sign when you pick up the car, is clear on that point. And in an industry that often has razor-thin margins, carrental companies claim they can’t afford to look the other way if a car is damaged on the parking lot after hours or stuck on a military base.

Someone must pay.

“Consumers should do more to protect themselves,” says Sharon Faulkner, executive director of the American Car Rental Association, a trade group.

Of course, most rentals don’t end as dramatically as Bonney’s. If a car isn’t returned in person, it normally sits on the lot without incident. But there are exceptions. Faulkner recently heard from a car-rental customer who returned her vehicle at 3 a.m., even though the location didn’t accept after-hour returns. It took the company five days to find the car, and it billed her for every minute of it. “The rule of thumb is that the unit you rented is still on rent and is your responsibility until the office opens and the car is inspected,” she says. “If damage is found at that time, the renter is charged.”

Faulkner says instances of renters dropping off their car when a business is closed and then getting charged for damage that may have occurred after the drop-off are rare. When she owned a Dollar and a Thrifty franchise, she recalls only one such case.

But they appear to be happening more often. One memorable instance involves Ann Colmus, a reader from Manchester, Md., who contacted me after her 33-year-old son returned his Alamo rental car after business hours. “Nine days later he got a phone call from them saying the car looked like it had been rearended,” she told me. “He was shocked because nothing was wrong with the car when he parked it.”

Colmus’ son insisted he’d returned the car as good as new, but Alamo was just as insistent that he pay $785 to fix the bumper. The company sent him pictures and demanded his insurance information.

“He would rather go to court than pay for something he did not do,” she says.

I sent Colmus the names of several Alamo executives, to whom she directed her complaint. The company dropped its claim against her son.

Bonney’s case also had a happy ending. After I contacted Budget on his behalf, it reviewed the circumstances of his return again. According to its records, the Air Force wouldn’t allow Budget’s roadside assistance provider to enter the base for “many weeks” without clearance through the proper military channels and without being accompanied by a rentalcompany representative. In the end, the military gave Budget permission to enter the base. Budget agreed to drop its claim against Bonney.

So how do you make sure this doesn’t happen to you? Avoid returning a car when a car rental location is closed. Ideally, you should bring back your car during daylight hours and ask a representative to inspect the vehicle in bright light.

If there’s any question about a ding or dent, don’t assume it’s normal wear-and-tear. Phrases such as “Anything smaller than a quarter doesn’t matter” — usually uttered by a car-rental representative when you return the car — should be interpreted as warnings, not reassurances. In my experience, that often means a damage claim is imminent.

And take pictures — lots of pictures. “Before” and “after” snapshots of your rental are a must. Had Colmus’ son taken pictures proving he returned his vehicle in good shape, it’s doubtful Alamo’s claim would have gone as far as it did. But sometimes, as was the case with Bonney, a big bill is unavoidable. And you have to remember: If you haven’t officially returned the car, it’s still your responsibility.

Car-rental companies claim they can’t afford to look the other way if a car is damaged on the parking lot after hours or stuck on a military base.

Someone must pay.
