Attorney says Santa Fe can’t seize grid to create its own electric utility

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

TASTE, PAGE B-5

The years-long push to create a government-owned electric utility in Santa Fe has run into a complication.

Even if the city comes up with ways to generate enough electricity

Report: Drones fail to work along border The aircraft are grounded frequently and fail to catch illegal crossers, auditor says. PAGE A-7

to supply the community using solar and other energy sources, the city attorney says it apparently can’t force Public Service Company of New Mexico to sell its existing system for distributing electricity to homes and businesses.

And the state’s largest utility company says it’s not willing to sell its power lines and other equipment.

“PNM’s electric system in Santa Fe is not for sale,” the company said in a statement Tuesday in response to an

inquiry by The New Mexican.

City Attorney Kelley Brennan advised city councilors in a Dec. 31 memo that under New Mexico law, municipalities that already own or propose to build an electric utility have the power of eminent domain “for the purpose of acquiring property for the use of the electric utility. However, this statute does not appear to authorize condemnation to acquire an existing electric utility.”

Attacker backing ISIS posts subscribers’ personal information

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

Hackers professing allegiance to the extremist group Islamic State, also known as ISIS, took over the Albuquerque Journal’s social media accounts for about two hours Tuesday morning, posting photos of New Mexico residents’ driver’s licenses and other personal information purportedly gleaned from their personal computers. Possible links to the hacking of a Maryland TV station also are being investigated.

A series of spreadsheets the hackers published on the newspaper’s social media accounts revealed some Albuquerque Journal subscribers’ names, addresses and phone numbers — both land lines and cellphones. Most of the subscribers were Albuquerque and Santa Fe residents, along with several out-of-state libraries that receive the newspaper by mail.

The takeover of the @ABQJournal Twitter feed and the newspaper’s Facebook account appears to be an attempt to affirm the authenticity of a cyberthreat announced by hackers on Christmas Eve, when the Albuquerque Journal’s website and mobile app were briefly commandeered by someone using the identity “CyberCaliphate.” In that instance, a news story posted on the newspaper’s Web and mobile platforms was replaced by an image of a scarf-clad individual that bore the words, “i love you isis.”

The Christmas Eve threat warned citizens of Albuquerque that a broader cyberattack was planned.

“You’ll see no mercy infidels,” last month’s digital posting said. “We are

WASHINGTON — Earth has a few more near-twin planets outside our solar system, tantalizing possibilities in the search for extraterrestrial life.

Astronomers announced Tuesday that depending on definitions, they have confirmed three or four more planets that are about the same size as Earth and are in the

not-too-hot, not-too-cold “Goldilocks Zone” for liquid water to form.

These planets are likely to be rocky like Earth, and not gas giants or ice worlds. They get about the same heat from their star as we get from the sun, according to the latest results from NASA’s planet hunting Kepler telescope.

Meow Wolf rents vacant building, may use it for interactive exhibit space A local artist collective announced Tuesday that it would be renting a long-vacant building off Rufina Circle from noted author and burgeoning real-estate entrepreneur George R.R. Martin.

Vince Kadlubek, a spokesman for the local artist collective Meow Wolf, confirmed Tuesday that the author had closed on the former Silva Lanes building, 1352 Rufina Circle, and that his group would be renting the space.

“Meow Wolf can’t wait to announce our exciting plans later this month,” he said.

Martin’s office confirmed the author had bought the property but declined to offer further comment regarding the purchase, instead deferring to Kadlubek. The office did confirm that Martin is a silent partner in the venture.

The building, according to an Internet listing, has nearly 33,000 square feet and is considered an industrial space. Real estate website Zillow estimated the site could be worth about $844,000. It’s unclear how much Martin paid for the building, which has been empty since 2009, after Charter Bank seized the property.

Art Silva, the former owner of the bowling alley and bar, had failed to find a buyer for the 3-acre property, after suffering financial problems that he attributed to costly legal fees

In brief Ex-Va. governor gets 2 years for corruption RICHMOND, Va. — After former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was sentenced to two years in prison for corruption, he apologized for his mistakes but says he didn’t violate his oath of office and will continue to fight to prove his innocence.

The judge’s punishment was far below the 10 years prosecutors initially wanted, but still more than the community service the former governor and hundreds of supporters asked for.

McDonnell is to report to prison by Feb. 9. His wife, who was convicted on eight counts of corruption, will be sentenced Feb. 20.

Obama, Mexico’s president meet WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama pledged to stand with Mexico against “the scourge of violence and the drug cartels” as he met Tuesday with President Enrique Peña Nieto amid concern over the unsolved abduction of 43 Mexican college students last September.

Protesters in front of the White House questioned what happened to the students who are presumed dead, allegedly at the hands of local officials and police in league with a drug cartel.

The case has come to signify an engrained abuse of authority and corruption in Mexico, and sparked indignation that federal authorities took 10 days to intervene. Peña Nieto has drawn criticism for saying it was time to “move beyond” the case just weeks after their abduction and taking a month to meet with their families.

Obama was under pressure from groups including Human Rights Watch and the AFL-CIO to press Peña Nieto to take the case more seriously.

New grand jury wanted in Ferguson

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX called off a supply flight to the International Space Station on Tuesday because of rocket trouble, another delay in the delivery of groceries and overdue Christmas presents. The countdown was halted just over a minute before launch when a steering mechanism in the rocket malfunctioned — “behaving strangely,” as SpaceX chief Elon Musk noted via Twitter.

The soonest SpaceX can try again to launch the unmanned Falcon rocket is Friday morning, provided it can quickly fix the problem.

The Dragon capsule is loaded with more than 5,000 pounds of food, science experiments and equipment for an upcoming series of spacewalks, as well as belated holiday surprises for the six station astronauts. The station pantry took a hit when another company’s supply ship was destroyed in a launch explosion a few months ago.

ST. LOUIS — The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund is asking a Missouri judge to convene a new grand jury to consider charges against the Ferguson officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown.

The letter submitted Monday to St. Louis County Circuit Judge Maura McShane also requests an investigation of the grand jury proceedings that led to the decision not to indict Darren Wilson. The white police officer shot Brown, who was black and unarmed, on Aug. 9.

The fund says its review of the grand jury proceedings raised “grave legal concerns,” including confusing instructions to jurors and the decision to allow testimony from witnesses who lied. The organization is also seeking a special prosecutor to replace St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch.

Kony defector in hands of U.S. forces

Drinking too much kills older men

WASHINGTON — U.S. forces in Africa have taken into custody a man claiming to be a top member of Lord’s Resistance Army, the Obama administration said Tuesday, saying the defection could be a “historic blow” to Joseph Kony’s nearly three-decade rebellion.

The man surrendered to U.S. military personnel in the Central African Republic, where they are helping African troops hunt for Kony and his fighters, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. The man said he was an LRA defector and later identified himself as senior commander Dominic Ongwen.

Ongwen is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes and crimes against humanity. Kony’s rebellion, which began in Uganda, is accused of some of the world’s worst atrocities including mass killings and keeping girls as sex slaves.

NEW YORK — To the surprise of even health officials, it turns out that most deaths from drinking too much involve middle-aged adults — not teens or college kids.

A report Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found six Americans die each day from alcohol poisoning. CDC officials said three-quarters of those deaths are adults ages 35 to 64, and most are men. CDC officials said they thought more would be younger.

The CDC searched death records from 2010 through 2012. Researchers focused on people who died after a single episode of binge drinking. Too much alcohol can shut down areas of the brain that control breathing, heart rate and temperature.

The report found an average of 2,221 alcohol poisoning deaths a year.

EL PASO — A gunman opened fire at a veterans’ medical clinic in West Texas on Tuesday, killing one other person, officials said. The gunman was also killed.

Investigators, who took no questions from reporters during a Tuesday night news conference, did not say whether the gunman killed himself or was killed by someone else.

They also provided no details on the victim or the gunman and no possible motive for the shooting.

Fort Bliss Maj. Gen. Stephen M. Twitty said the shooting happened at the El Paso Veterans Affairs Health Care System’s clinic, which is in a complex that includes the William Beaumont Army Medical Center. The entire complex was locked down Tuesday as authorities responded to the shooting.

“The alleged shooter is dead, and we have one casualty. That casualty is deceased. All other VA patients and staff are safe,” said Twitty, commanding officer of nearby Fort Bliss.

According to The New York Times, the victim was believed to be a doctor at the facility. The Times spoke to John Andrew Meza, a spokesman for Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who represents the city in Congress. Meza said the gunman apparently killed himself.

The VA clinic will be closed Wednesday, said its acting director, Peter Dancy.

The FBI, which is leading the investigation, has hundreds of potential witnesses, many of whom were patients at the clinic, said Douglas Lindquist, special agent in charge of the FBI El Paso office.

“Those people were here seeking medical assistance, so we understand the difficulties that this situation presents to them,” Lindquist said.

The VA clinic came under scrutiny last year after a federal audit showed it had some of the nation’s longest wait times for veterans trying to see a doctor for the first time. A survey of hundreds of West Texas veterans last year found that they waited an average of more than two months to see a Veterans Affairs mental health professional and even longer to see a physician.

In a statement issued by O’Rourke’s office Tuesday, the El Paso Democrat said his “thoughts and prayers are with the men and women at the El Paso VA clinic.”

The VA said in a statement that it “is deeply saddened by the tragic situation that has occurred in El Paso, and we are actively working with our partners at Fort Bliss to investigate this matter.”

Gunman opens fire in El Paso VA clinic

By Colleen Long

NEW YORK — Tommy Gilbert was part of the trustfund-baby crowd, a handsome Princeton grad who flitted between his Manhattan home and the Hamptons. On the surface, it was a charmed life.

But he was in debt, with no job or recent Thomas work history.

Gilbert Jr. He was a suspect in a fire that destroyed a mansion on Long Island, a law enforcement official said. He was accused of harassing a friend.

And his mother told police he had a tense relationship with his Wall Street father and a history of mental illness, authorities said.

On Sunday afternoon, police say, it all erupted in violence over a small amount of money.

Threatened with a cut of a few hundred dollars in his monthly allowance, Gilbert went to his parents’ apartment on wealthy Beekman Place on Manhattan’s East Side and shot his father to death, authorities said.

The 30-year-old was arraigned Monday on murder charges and jailed without bail.

Gilbert had gone to his parents’ home saying he wanted to have a word alone with his father, hedge fund founder Thomas Gilbert Sr. His mother went out to get him some food and was gone about 15 minutes when she got a “bad feeling” and went back, said Robert Boyce, chief of detectives.

She found her 70-year-old husband on the bedroom floor, a bullet hole in his head, Boyce said.

A .40-caliber Glock was resting on his chest, his left hand on the gun. Boyce said it was a staged to look like suicide, but the gun wasn’t in the right position for a selfinflicted wound.

Detectives waited outside Gilbert Jr.’s $3,000-a-month apartment in a six-floor walkup in Chelsea. When they saw a light go on, they went in and found bullets and empty shell casings along with 21 blank credit cards and a device for stealing card numbers, police said.

Gilbert was taken in for questioning but he refused to speak to detectives and asked for an attorney.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military is investigating credible reports of civilian casualties in the campaign against Islamic State militants, the Pentagon press secretary said Tuesday, a shift after months in which defense officials said they were aware of none.

Rear Adm. John Kirby disclosed the investigations Tuesday, telling reporters at the Pentagon that the U.S. Central Command is leading the review.

Centcom officials said they have investigated the credibility of 18 separate allegations of coalition airstrikes resulting in civilian casualties between Aug. 8 and Dec. 30, and they determined 13 were not credible.

Five more remain under review, though, including two described as credible that began as “the direct result of our own internal review process,” Army

cal weapons stockpiles have since been destroyed under international supervision.

Chlorine gas is not listed as a chemical weapon. But eight council members, including the United States, said in a Dec. 30 letter accompanying the OPCW report that the 2013 resolution also states that any use of chemical weapons threatens international peace and security and must be condemned.

The 15 council members discussed the fact-finding mission’s report behind closed doors Tuesday, and diplomats said the U.S. and other Western nations who signed the letter along with Jordan urged Security Council action in response to the findings.

Syria’s Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mekdad told an OPCW meeting on Dec. 1 that his government has never used chemical weapons or chlorine gas during the country’s four-year civil war, which has claimed over 200,000 lives and displaced one third of the country’s population.

The investigators interviewed 14 people from the village of Talmenes in Idlib governorate about barrel bomb attacks on April 21 and April 24. At two houses that were hit, a 7-year-old boy, a teenage girl, and the matriarch of a family died from exposure to chlorine gas, they said. Domestic animals including cows, goats and sheep also died at both houses.

Fourteen people from the village of Al Tamanah, also in Idlib, were interviewed by the mission’s investigators about five incidents in April and May — all but one at night. Eight members of two families died shortly after separate attacks involving the toxic chemical, the report said.

Maj. Curtis Kellogg, a Centcom spokesman, said in a statement.

The review of the other three allegations are still in initial phases, he added.

While the military had previously acknowledged reviewing reports of civilian casualties in airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, the elevation of two of those incidents — one in Iraq and one in Syria — into formal investigations had not previously been disclosed.

The U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State has carried out about 1,400 airstrikes since they began Aug. 8, including some in urban areas. The 18 reports of civilian casualties came from sources that include internal reviews, unit self-reporting, media reports, nongovernmental organizations and other U.S. government agencies.

Rents: Meow Wolf finds itself a home The author also has purchased several buildings in central Santa Fe, and has plans to rent spaces for artist studios.

Meow Wolf is a group of artists responsible for massive and colorful mixed-media art installations. The group has not yet had a permanent location for its projects, however.

Kadlubek has been involved in some city initiatives, such as the Night Wave nightlife festival to help boost downtown venues, and he once briefly worked as a spokesman with the Jean Cocteau Cinema.

Kadlubek would only confirm the building had been bought by Martin, and that Meow Wolf would be using the space. He would not elaborate on the space’s future. Kadlubek had previously told The New Mexican the space would house an ongoing, inter-

rounding the municipal utility issue,” Gonzales said. “But while that is being worked out, there are immediate pathways forward, including community solar, solarizing more city facilities, retrofitting homes and commercial office buildings, and increasing the use of public transportation. These have been at the forefront of the discussion for my Climate Action Task Force, which I have directed to present its recommendations to City Council at the end of the month.”

Even if the city can’t use eminent domain to acquire an electric utility, Mariel Nanasi, an attorney and executive director of New Energy Economy, a Santa Fe-based nonprofit advocating for renewable energy, said Santa Fe could establish a municipal electric authority.

In an email sent while attending Tuesday’s PRC hearing, she wrote, “If Santa Fe Public Power is adopted (and without eminent domain) we would have the authority to increase energy efficiency and solar deployment through utility bonds (just like we have the ability to do with our water utility, which we bought from PNM), increase solar for the City, and offer renewable energy for new development if the opportunity is presented.”

“They used a password to get in, possibly to email,” Midyette said.

Midyette and his IT team are investigating how the hackers could have obtained a password.

Most likely, he said, the hackers used the common tactic called phishing. The practice involves emails that ask someone to affirm their user name and password, and when the recipient complies, the hacker is able to access their email account.

Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center information on inmates, unclassified FBI reports and other images also were posted on the hijacked social media accounts, along with references to Islam and the CyberCaliphate’s “CyberJihad.” Some of the photos posted on the Twitter feed could be found in the public domain online.

Beginning at least three months ago, news organizations around the world have reported the Islamic State’s plans to launch a “cybercaliphate” attack targeting technology in the U.S. with encoded software that makes identifying the culprit difficult. The threat was in response to U.S.-led and approved airstrikes on areas in the Middle East held by the Islamic State.

benefits as exaggerated.

“The president did make clear that he was a little skeptical of the claims that are made by some of the most enthusiastic advocates of the pipeline’s construction, about the impact it would have on energy prices or on job creation,” Earnest said.

The project, which would carry a total of roughly 800,000 barrels of crude daily from Canada’s oil sands region and the Great Plains’ Bakken formation, has become a litmus test in the broader debate over how to address climate change.

Opponents argue that the pipeline will fuel global warming by accelerating the energy-intensive extraction of Canada’s bitumen deposits, and that much of the refined petroleum products will eventually be exported from the Gulf. Backers say the project will give construction workers jobs in the short term and maintain employment at American refineries over time, while ensuring a steady supply of oil from a U.S. ally.

The main Republican sponsor of the Senate bill, John Hoeven of North Dakota, said in an interview that he was not sur-

prised — the fact that the White House issued the threat before the bill had even reached the floor offended several of them.

Republican leaderss were even more scathing in their response. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., noted in a statement that when then-Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., “was trying to save her job over the exact same Keystone bill,”

the president did not issue the same threat.

“The president threatening to veto the first bipartisan infrastructure bill of the new Congress must come as a shock to the American people, who spoke loudly in November in favor of bipartisan accomplishments,” McConnell added.

Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., who prompted the cancella-

tion of a Wednesday hearing by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on the Keystone XL bill by objecting to it, said in an interview that when there are fundamental policy differences between the parties, “the question is whether 34 Democrats will stand with the president.”

“That’s the insurance policy,” Durbin said.

“Good gentlemen,” said Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va., a would-be rebel, talking about Gohmert and Yoho. But, he said, they lacked “the temperament to be speaker.”

Then another challenger emerged: Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Fla., a former leader of the Florida state house and senate.

In an interview on Tuesday, Webster said he’d received private entreaties to run, but didn’t decide to do it until the last minute.

“This happened in a 24-hour period. That’s when we really got some momentum. We had been talking about it for a while, about how I could do it. But I didn’t say, ‘Yes, I’m in,’ until Monday,” Webster said.

Webster handed out a minimanifesto, called “Widgets, Principles, and Republicans.”

It argued that the GOP, like any struggling company, needs to improve the way it operates, picks its leaders, and sets its agenda. And it criticizes the leadership for, from his perspective, too often making decisions without seeking input from those who are not close to Boehner and his inner circle.

Police: Suspected drunken driver hit officer’s car Cop suffered minor injuries, was discharged from hospital

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Police said Tuesday they suspect a 41-yearold Santa Fe man might have been impaired by alcohol when he pulled out of an Airport Road parking lot late Saturday and into the path of a city police car.

A New Mexico State Police spokesman, Sgt. Chad Pierce, said George Lopez, 41, had left the Blake’s Lotaburger parking lot at 4706 Air-

port Road before the two vehicles collided.

Both men were transported to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. The officer suffered only minor injuries and was discharged within a few hours, said Lt. Andrea Dobyns of the Santa Fe Police Department.

Dobyns said Lopez was not seriously hurt in the crash. However, neither city nor state police representatives had information on whether Lopez was discharged from the hospital as of Tuesday afternoon.

Pierce said possible charges against Lopez are pending completion of an investigation.

“It was a pretty big crash,” Dobyns said Tuesday. “The police car was just

about totaled.”

She also said Lopez admitted to officers that he had been drinking prior to the crash.

The New Mexico State Police reported Tuesday that some of its officers had responded to the crash, which occurred about 11:50 p.m. Saturday.

Neither police agency released the name of the officer involved in the collision, but Dobyns said he has been with the department for about three years.

An employee of Blake’s Lotaburger said by phone Tuesday that while some of the nightshift crew witnessed the crash, none of them were available for comment.

City and state police say George Lopez, 41, pulled out of the Blake’s Lotaburger parking lot on Airport Road on Saturday night and collided with a city cop’s vehicle.

SFPD: Law justifies gunshot in attempted burglary

The New Mexican

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

A Santa Fe police spokeswoman said Tuesday her department believes a westside resident was legally justified in firing a gunshot when he encountered a woman who had tried to break into his home and then armed herself with a piece of broken glass.

Police have said Erica Duran, 32, was not injured in the incident early Sunday in the 1700 block of Agua Fría Street, near Osage Avenue, in an area where residential burglaries are common.

The resident later told investigators he had fired a handgun into the ground to scare off the woman, although in a 911 audio recording released Tuesday, he can be heard telling a police dispatcher that he had fired at the intruder.

Erica Duran While some neighbors have lauded the resident for defending his property, some Santa Fe New Mexican readers on Tuesday sent emails questioning whether the man, who is not being identified by The New Mexican, was legally justified in using his .44 Special revolver. Lawyers and a police spokeswoman said Tuesday there is legal justification for using a weapon when a person feels threatened with serious harm.

“There is a law about negligent use of a firearm, however due to the fact that this man was protecting himself from an armed assailant it is seen as self-defense,” police spokeswoman Lt. Andrea Dobyns said in an email. “Our state’s self-defense law does not require the victim to retreat. These are usually looked at on a case by case basis.

For example if someone merely trespasses on your property you should not shoot, however in this case the assailant had armed herself with a piece of glass.”

Santa Fe-based criminal defense lawyer John Day said he wasn’t familiar with all the facts in this particular case, but he said state law doesn’t require a person to retreat in order to defend himself or herself if the person’s life could be in danger.

“You are entitled to defend yourself with deadly force if you reasonably believe you are being threatened with death or bodily injury,” said Day, a former deputy district attorney in Taos.

“Common sense says that if you can, you should [retreat], but you are not required to do that.”

An arrest statement filed in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court this week says Duran admitted to investigators that she had broken the window with a rock and then saw the resident come out with a gun. She also said that she told the man “not to shoot her and that she will leave,” the court document states. Duran told police the man shot one round at her and she ran away.

When Duran was apprehended by police about a mile away on Maez Road, she initially gave a different name. She then admitted, that since “I’m going to jail, my real name is Erica Duran,” the statement says.

In the 911 audio recording, the man tells the dispatcher that a woman had tried to break into his house and that after she threatened him with a piece of broken glass, he “fired a gun at them.”

He later told police in an interview that he shot at her after she “grabbed a piece of glass with her right hand and raised it up,” the arrest statement says. He also

hile people in Spain and in Latin America celebrated Three Kings Day, many of New Mexico’s pueblos observed the Christian religious holiday as a way to publicly present recently appointed and elected tribal leaders.

In Pojoaque, the Rev. Monsignor Jerome Martinez y Alire led the celebration of Mass on Tuesday morning at the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Del Valle de Pojoaque Church, where the recently named tribal officials were recognized, including newly selected Pueblo Gov. Joseph Talachy, 33.

Talachy succeeds George Rivera, who served as governor of the pueblo for a decade.

During the service, Talachy was presented with ceremonial canes. The canes were given to the state’s 19 pueblos by the Spanish government, the Mexican government and the U.S. government under President Abraham Lincoln as symbolic recognition of sovereignty.

The canes are used during special ceremonies, including when new pueblo leaders take office. Some pueblo governors describe them as a “living spirit.”

“I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity and privilege to lead the greatest people and community I’ve ever dreamed of, the Pueblo and valley of Pojoaque,” Talachy wrote on his Facebook page earlier this month. “I will not take for granted the obligation bestowed upon me nor take advantage of my people’s trust.”

Among challenges Talachy faces on behalf of the pueblo, which operates casinos, are negotiations with Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration over a gambling compact to replace one that expires in June.

The holiday, which falls annually on Jan. 6, is a celebration in which Christians mark the adoration of the infant Jesus by three kings, also called the three wise men.

Many of the pueblos celebrate Mass during the holiday, after which many families hold allday feasts, hosting hundreds of

Meanwhile, in Salazar’s home, more than a dozen people gathered around a table to enjoy a meal of green chile stew, posole and potato salad prepared by the Salazar family.

Salazar, who has been the pueblo’s governor on and off since 1996, said he feels honored to lead his pueblo once again, succeeding former Gov. Marcelino Aquino.

“We’re raised to have a sense of community, and we want to take care of it,” Salazar said.

“When it’s your turn, you step up to the plate.”

Auditor Keller announces new team members State Auditor Tim Keller announced Tuesday new members of his executive team. Sunalei Stewart joins the office as chief of staff, Keller said in a news release, and Sarita Nair as chief legal counsel.

“Stewart and Nair bring essential experience to the Auditor’s office and will provide strong leadership as we combat fraud, waste and abuse to protect public funds,” Keller said in the statement.

Stewart, a native of Santa Fe, served as the deputy commissioner of the state Public Lands Division and has worked for former U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman. Nair spent a decade as a private prac-

A coalition of local and regional watchdog groups said Tuesday in a news release that they support the Bureau of Land Management’s recent decision to defer leasing five Navajo allotment parcels totaling more than 2,800 acres for fracking near Chaco Canyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The BLM’s decision, announced Dec. 30, came after the groups filed a protest challenging the lease sale.

“Deferring these parcels was the right, and, indeed, only legally defensible decision,” said Kyle Tisdel, an attorney for the Western Environmental Law Center.

“Necessary safeguards and analysis must be completed before any further leasing and development of the area’s treasured landscapes can continue in compliance with the law.”

In an October letter to the BLM, the Western Environmental Law Center, WildEarth Guardians, the San Juan Citizens Alliance and the Chaco Alliance demanded that the agency stop approving new drilling permits in Mancos Shale/Gallup Formation wells in the San Juan Basin.

“BLM’s approvals are putting the region’s cultural heritage at risk, endangering significant landscapes like Chaco Culture National Historical Park and its outliers, and other areas critical for preserving, understanding, and promoting indigenous presence in the region,” the statement said.

The groups are still demanding the agency hold off approval of other proposed developments, including hundreds of drilling permits and a new crude oil pipeline that could lead to a quadrupling of fracking in the area, the news release says.

BLM’s 11-year old management plan for the area, which the agency is in the process of updating, does not account for the impact of new technology, such as horizontal fracking, that allows drilling in sensitive areas that until just a few years ago was not economically feasible, the statement says.

“The fracking industry is running amok in the San Juan area right now, and BLM is bending over backwards to give the industry whatever it wants,” said Jeremy Nichols, the Climate and Energy Program director with WildEarth Guardians. “There is no legal basis for approving another single well, lease or pipeline in the area. This has to stop now.”

36-year-old man arrested in Albuquerque cop shooting ALBUQUERQUE — The Albuquerque police chief says the man suspected of shooting and wounding a police officer during a weekend traffic stop was homeless and driving a stolen SUV when he was pulled over.

Chief Gordon Eden says the manhunt for 36-year-old Christopher Cook, who has a long criminal history, proved to be difficult.

Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputies took Cook into custody without incident around 4 a.m.

Tuesday after spotting him staggering along a road.

Cook will face state and federal charges.

Officer Lou Golso was shot twice, at least once in the torso, as he tried to question Cook early Saturday morning during a stop on suspected drunken driving, police said. It was unclear what provoked the driver to open fire on the officer, who shot back before the suspect fled, authorities said.

WASHINGTON — U.S. drones deployed along the border are grounded most of the time, cost far more than initially estimated and help to apprehend only a tiny number of people trying to cross the border illegally, according to a federal audit released Tuesday.

In a report that could undermine political support for adding more drones to secure the nation’s borders, the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general found “little or no evidence” that the existing fleet had met expectations or was effective in conducting surveillance.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been flying surveillance drones for nearly a decade, launching them from bases in Texas, Florida, North Dakota and Arizona. It currently has nine Predator B models — a modified version of the MQ-9 Reaper drone flown by the Air Force — and has plans to more than double the size of its drone fleet to 24 as part of a $443 million expansion.

The inspector general, however, questioned whether those plans make any sense or would be cost-effective.

In an audit of the fleet’s operations during the 2013 fiscal year, the inspector general calculated that it cost $12,255 per flight hour to operate the drones, a figure five times higher than estimates by Customs and Border Protection.

Although the agency planned to fly four drone patrols a day — each for an average of 16 hours — the aircraft were in the air for less than a quarter of that time, the audit showed.

Hindering operations were a lack of personnel, spare parts and bad weather.

“The unmanned aircraft are not meeting flight hour goals,”

Sting unable to save ‘The Last Ship’ NEW YORK — Sting will be going down with his ship.

Producer Jeffrey Seller said Tuesday that the Grammy Award-winning songwriter’s Broadway musical The Last Ship will close when his stint in the show ends Jan. 24 at the Neil Simon Theatre.

Sting, who wrote the songs, jumped into the musical in early December, playing a shipyard foreman who had been portrayed by Jimmy Nail.

The Last Ship is a semiautobiographical story about a prodigal son who returns to his northern England shipbuilding town to reclaim the girl he abandoned when he fled years before. The $15 million show has struggled at the box office.

Seller said advance sales after Sting leaves to tour with Paul Simon were not enough to sustain the show.

the auditors wrote, adding more broadly that Customs and Border Protection “cannot demonstrate how much the program has improved border security.”

As evidence, the report cited statistics showing that of the 120,939 illegal border crossers apprehended in Arizona during 2013, fewer than 2 percent were caught with the help of drones providing aerial surveillance.

In Texas and the Rio Grande Valley, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of border-crossing apprehensions were attributed to drones.

The findings echo earlier audits by the inspector general of the domestic drone program but could carry extra weight as Congress considers whether to spend more on drone surveillance to secure the border as part of immigration legislation.

In a written response to the audit, Eugene Schied, an assistant commissioner with Customs and Border Protection, disputed the characterization of the findings. The drone program, he said, “has achieved or exceeded all relevant performance expectations.”

Schied accused the inspector general of cherry-picking statistics and ignoring ones that make the drones appear more effective. For instance, he said, drones “directly contributed” to the seizure of almost 50,000 pounds of marijuana along the southwest border in 2013, worth an estimated $122 million.

Customs and Border Protection dismissed suggestions that a big expansion of its drone fleet would happen anytime soon. Although plans to fly up to two dozen drones were authorized years ago, Schied said the department didn’t have the money to do so and that “there is no intent at this time” to operate more than 10 of the aircraft.

JACK NOEL BISHOP Jack Noel Bishop, at age 91 passed away peacefully at his home in Santa Fe surrounded by his loving family on January 3, 2014.

Jack was born in Los Angeles, CA on May 13, 1923 to Arthur and Dorothy Bishop.

He is survived by his wife Barbara Bishop, his brother Warren, his fourchildren Ymelda, Eric, Celeste, Roland, step daughter Kathy, and 12 grandchildren, 2 step grandchildren, as well as numerous great grandchildren. Jack was preceded in death by his daughter Linea.

At age 18, Jack enlisted in the Navy and proudly served in the Pacific Theater during WWII as a gunners mate. He earned 5 battle stars aboard the ship USS Suamico in the liberation of the Philippines. Jack also bravely fought in the battle of Midway and witnessed the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima.

Upon being honorably discharged at the conclusion of the war, Jack studied at the Parsons School of Art under the GI bill. This led to a 32 year career as a technical draftsman for the Northrop Corporation in Los Angeles.

During this time, Jack raised his five beloved children in Manhattan Beach, California. As a devoted father he enjoyed family camping trips, going to the beach, and his love of arts and culture.

Upon his retirement, he pursued his passion in trading American Indian Art and opened the J.N. Bishop gallery in Los Angeles with his second wife Barbara, his soul mate and love of his life. They owned the gallery for 15 years and because of their deep interest in Indian arts and culture, led them to relocate to Santa Fe, NM.

OUR VIEW

Food tax a nonstarter

F COMMENTARY: LAWRENCE SUMMERS

Oil crash makes carbon tax easier T he case for carbon taxes has long been compelling. With the recent steep fall in oil prices and associated declines in other energy prices, it has become overwhelming. There is room for debate about the size of the tax and about how the proceeds should be deployed. But there should be no doubt that, given the current zero tax rate on carbon, increased taxation would be desirable.

The core of the case for taxation is the recognition that those who use carbon-based fuels or products do not bear all the costs of their actions.

Carbon emissions exacerbate global climate change. In many cases, they contribute to local pollution problems that harm human health.

Getting fossil fuels out of the ground involves both accident risks and environmental challenges. And even with the substantial recent increases in U.S. oil production, we remain a net importer. Any increase in our consumption raises our dependence on Middle East producers.

All of us, when we drive our cars, heat our homes or use fossil fuels in more indirect ways, create these costs without paying for them. It follows that we overuse these fuels.

Advocating a carbon tax is not some kind of argument

for government planning; it is the logic of the market: That which is not paid for is overused. Even if the government had no need or use for revenue, it could make the economy function better by levying carbon taxes and rebating the money to taxpayers.

While the recent decline in energy prices is a good thing in that it has, on balance, raised the incomes of Americans, it has also exacerbated the problem of energy overuse. The benefit of imposing carbon taxes is therefore enhanced. On the other side of the ledger, there has always been the concern that a carbon tax would place an unfair burden on some middle- and low-income consumers.

Those who drive long distances to work, say, or who have homes that are expensive to heat would be disproportionately burdened. Now that these consumers have received a windfall from the fall in energy prices, it would be possible to impose substantial carbon taxes without them being burdened relative to where things stood six months ago.

The price of gasoline has fallen by more than a dollar. A $25-a-ton tax on carbon that would raise far more than $1 trillion over the next decade would lift gasoline prices by only about 25 cents.

Some worry that taxing fossil fuels will hurt the competitiveness of U.S. industry and encourage offshoring. In fact, a well-designed tax would be levied on the carbon content of all imports coming from countries that did not impose their own carbon levies.

The United States can make the case that such a tax is compatible with World Trade Organization rules.

Such an approach would have the virtue of encouraging countries who wished to avoid the U.S. tax to impose carbon taxes of their own, thereby further supporting efforts to reduce global climate change. A U.S. carbon tax would contribute to efforts to combat climate change in other ways.

It would be a hugely important symbolic step ahead of the global climate summit in Paris late this year. It would shift the debate toward harmonized measures to raise the price of carbon use and away from the complex cap-andtrade-type systems that have proved more difficult to operate than expected in the European Union and elsewhere.

What size levy is appropriate? Here there is more danger of doing too little than too much. Once the principle of taxation is accepted, its level can be adjusted. A tax of $25 a ton would raise more than

$100 billion each year and seems a reasonable starting point.

How should the proceeds be used? Here, too, it seems more important to reach consensus on the principle of taxation. My preference would be for the funds to be split between investments in infrastructure and pro-work tax credits.

An additional $50 billion a year in infrastructure spending would be a significant contribution to closing the country’s investment gap in that area. The same sum devoted to pro-work tax credits could finance a huge increase in the earned-income tax credit, a meaningful reduction in the payroll tax or some combination of the two.

Progressives who are most concerned about climate change should rally to a carbon tax. Conservatives who believe in the power of markets should favor carbon taxes on market principles.

And Americans who want to see their country lead on the energy and climate issues that are crucial to the world should want to be in the vanguard on carbon taxes. Now is the time.

Lawrence Summers, who wrote this column for The Washington Post, is a professor and past president of Harvard University.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

State must end coyote-killing contests

T

he Santa Fe New Mexican recently published an article (“Advocates want ban on coyote-killing contests,” Jan. 5).

It is not a surprise that about 10 environmental groups advocate against mindless killing of animals, as this is their calling and their mandate.

But what are our policymakers and influential citizens doing? Senators and representatives? Business leaders? Scientists? Intellectuals? Spiritual leaders? It seems that they have joined the cartel of the meek in a conspiracy of silence, cowards afraid of losing a few votes or seeing no immediate benefits by speaking out.

Leaving aside the complex questions of ecological balance, killing contests are an assault on decency and basic morality.

Most indicators show New Mexico at the bottom in most areas. Citizens, wake up and do the right thing! Stop coyotekilling contests.

A two-way street The article in The New Mexican that discusses the Public Service Company of New Mexico’s decision to penalize homeowners who invest in solar energy (“PNM seeks fee for solar users,” Jan. 3) fails to mention that PNM benefits from each of us.

To meet its goals for green energy, PNM puts in the necessary grid intercon-

A better option nections and claims the energy that the individual homeowners collect from the sun as part of its requirement to produce 15 percent of its energy from renewable sources. That way, PNM does not have to invest in creating more of its own solar energy farms.

Instead, we, the homeowners, borrow and pay back with interest the money needed to set up solar panels at our homes. In our case, we will be paying for 30 years and the amount we get back from PNM each month in no way covers the monthly cost.

Please, New Mexicans, don’t allow the obsession with profit to trump the need to continue to make our planet more sustainable through renewable energy.

inally, an issue on which there appears to be bipartisan agreement in New Mexico. Few Democrats or Republicans seem thrilled about an attempt by the New Mexico Municipal League to bring back the tax on food.

Until 2004, most food items were subject to state and local gross receipts taxes. That changed, with the Legislature and then-Gov. Bill Richardson deciding that the necessity of food should not be subject to tax. To make the loss of revenue palatable to counties and cities — which receive their portion of GRTs spent in their jurisdictions — the legislation included a provision from the state to pass back to local governments the money they normally would have received.

In passing sweeping tax changes in 2013 — including corporate tax cuts and rebates for television shows shot in New Mexico — the Legislature and governor agreed to eliminate the “hold harmless” provision in the state tax code that allowed money to be sent back to local governments. The move to bring back such a seemingly regressive tax is less about food and more about balancing competing state and local government interests.

Loss of those dollars makes it easy to understand why the New Mexico Municipal League wants a food tax again. The argument from the group, which represents 105 cities and townships, is that by lowering the state GRT from 5.125 percent to 5 percent on all goods, consumers actually will be getting a tax cut. A broader base with a lower tax rate is a net savings, goes their argument. Plus, when the truly poor use federal food benefits they don’t pay a food tax at all.

Reinstating a food tax is a nonstarter, in our opinion, both from a humanitarian and a political perspective. However, introducing such legislation isn’t a bad idea if it brings legislators and Gov. Susana Martinez’s people together to discuss how best to pay for New Mexico’s needs. The GRT that is well over 5.125 percent in much of New Mexico — 8.1875 percent in the city of Santa Fe — has shortcomings.

There are exemptions, such as the one for food; there is the pyramiding of taxes as services are bought and sold; and, of course, there is the volatility of the tax. In a recession, governments lose essential dollars as buyers cut back their spending.

What should happen in the session starting later this month must not be a discussion of whether the food tax is the best or fairest way to raise money. What needs to happen is a discussion of how local governments can reclaim some of the revenues lost to the tax compromise bill. They are allowed to raise taxes at the local level — that was part of the 2013 deal. However, it seems to us that it is unfair for state leaders to brag about holding the line on taxes when their actions essentially force local governments to hike tax rates to continue services. Gov. Martinez did not raise taxes, but she certainly created a situation where others would.

And continued tapping of the GRT creates its own problems, even as it raises necessary dollars. What visitor wants to come to a town where a tax costs nearly 10 cents on the dollar? We can price ourselves out of being competitive as a tourist destination, not to mention making it even more difficult for businesses to prosper and for families to get by.

Bringing back the food tax is not the answer. Discussing, frankly and without rancor, the state’s needs and the money necessary to service those needs is essential. And that means more than just trying to bring back the food tax.

The New Mexican described an alternative (“Power Switch,” Jan. 4) to the Public Service Company of New Mexico’s San Juan proposal, which is better suited to all of New Mexico. That proven alternative is to convert the San Juan Generating Station to natural gas, which is also plentiful in the adjacent lands and pipelines. New Mexico needs stable natural gas prices for our Permanent Fund, and our petroleum industry needs long-term users.

As such, most Republicans and Democrats alike should be able to get behind Shane Woolbright’s proposal in that article. Coal-gas conversion is simple and has proven low cost at other large power plants. Please keep all our futures in mind by requiring PNM to return with a gas conversion study, including pipeline owners as part of the deal.

Such action does not reduce the need for development of our plentiful renewable energy sources, but these complement a gas power plant in a reliable power system with reduced fossil energy use and pollution.

Mark E. Dunham

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 7, 1915: The attorney general, in an opinion today, informs R.G. Marmon of Laguna that he knows of nothing that should exempt able-bodied Pueblo Indians from the road tax.

While the roads on Indian reservations are not under state control and Indian lands are exempt from state taxation and under congressional authority alone, Mr. Clancy believes that the Indians are subject to taxation for the support of roads outside their own lands under the state laws. The police judge at Laguna advises his people not to pay the tax.

Jan. 7, 1990: To northbound commuters cresting La Bajada, the hill on Interstate 25, it sometimes seems these days that Santa Fe is living under a cloud — a brown one.

This view is adding to the perception that Santa Fe’s air quality is deteriorating. Federal air pollution standards list maximum allowable limits for six airborne substances identified as hazardous to human health; carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, sulfur dioxide, suspended particulates (that’s dust) and lead.

In Santa Fe County only carbon monoxide and particulates are monitored consistently by the state.

A few changes on Opinions page Starting this week, La Cucaracha returns to the comics page and Mallard Filmore is no longer running. This will allow more room for commentary on editorial pages.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Widow creates rift with woman Dear Annie: My sister-in-law always makes comments about what I am eating. I keep myself trim and am careful about what I eat, but I don’t deny myself.

Last week, we went to lunch at a favorite place, and I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. It is a lovely restaurant, and the servings are large. I always take half of my meal home, as it is too much for me to eat at one time. My sisterin-law said, “If they put something like that in front of me, I would get sick to my stomach immediately.”

I have put up with her comments for many years, but that one upset me, especially since she said it while we were eating.

Afterward, I wrote her a note stating that I am a widow and those lunches are my biggest meals of the day. She has a husband and, of course, fixes their largest meal in the evening. She no longer speaks to me. Was I wrong, or was she?

— Sister-in-Law Dear Sister-in-Law: We think you are both too sensitive about inconsequential matters. Perhaps your sister-in-law is jealous that you can eat whatever you like and she cannot do the same. Perhaps there are other things about her that annoy you, and this was simply the last straw — or vice versa. We think a good relationship with a sister-in-law should be preserved. Please apologize to her (not as a matter of right or wrong, but simply to start over), and say you are sorry things became so bitter and you’d like another chance. Then invite her to go someplace with you — but perhaps not to a restaurant.

Dear Annie: For the past 20 years, my husband and I have gotten together with several other couples for one weekend a year to relax, play golf and share stores about our kids and grandkids. We rent a vacation house, and the few of us who live close to one another plan a fun game for the group to play on one of the evenings.

We recently held our annual retreat. On game night, we planned a gourmet dinner with cocktails, followed by the meal, followed by games. One member of our group noticed a couple

from the house next door sitting on their porch, so he invited them to join us for drinks. As we were introducing ourselves, this same friend invited the couple to stay for dinner. After dessert, when we were ready to play games, this friend and his wife left us to go next door to have a drink. We waited more than an hour for them to return.

Do you feel this is appropriate behavior? — Old School Dear Old School: No. If your friends knew that other activities had been planned for that evening, they should have postponed the trip to the neighbors’ place for when they had unscheduled time. This weekend had been reserved for your group. However, it also indicates that this particular friend was not terribly interested in the group game (or even the group company) and wanted to go elsewhere. After 20 years, it is not a negative reflection on anyone that things might need a new coat of paint. We suggest you poll the group and ask whether they’d like the activities to change. Others might have additional ideas.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Sad Mother,” whose 25-year-old son is depressed and suicidal but refuses therapy. Perhaps she can get him help through his primary care provider’s office.

Many primary care offices now have integrated care and employ psychiatric consultants. I work in a clinic that has licensed clinical social workers and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Many family practice clinicians are comfortable with starting patients on antidepressants.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have had several patients tell me they never would have sought treatment through a psychiatric practice.

Aztecs land knockout to Lobos The New Mexican

It had all the earmarks of a defensive slugfest — and that’s exactly what it was.

Held to just seven points in the first 13 minutes of Tuesday night’s game at San Diego State, the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team never did get things going offensively in a 56-42 loss to the Aztecs in a Mountain West Conference game in Viejas Arena.

The Lobos (10-5 overall, 2-1 MWC) trailed from start to finish and their starting lineup was no answer for

SDSU forward Winston Shepard.

Until the final minute of the game, he had as many points (20) as all five UNM starters combined.

Not a single New Mexico player had more than seven points, although all 11 who played had at least two.

Point guard Hugh Greenwood had another dismal shooting night, hitting just 2 of 9 shots to finish with five points. In his last two games he is a combined 3-for-19 for nine points.

The win was the 24th in a row at home for San Diego State, which

Johnson, Martinez among 4 voted to Hall

MARTINEZ PITCHED FOR DUKES Pedro Martinez was a pitcher for the Albuquerque Dukes during parts of the 1991-93 seasons, according to milb.com. He posted a combined 10-9 record in 27 appearances with a 3.77 ERA.

By Ronald Blum The Associated Press

NEW YORK andy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz dominated in an era of offense, each in their own way.

The 6-foot-10 Big Unit became the tallest of 215 players elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame and the 5-foot-11 Martinez the shortest pitcher picked for Cooperstown since Whitey Ford in 1974.

Smoltz, who found unusual success both as a starting pitcher and a reliever, also was voted in Tuesday along with Craig Biggio, the first time since 1955 writers picked a quartet of players

in one year.

For many, the election of Johnson and Martinez was the long and short of it.

“You’re talking about freakish talent,” Smoltz said. “I’ve never seen at each person’s height anybody come close to what they were able to do.”

Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz were crowned by big margins on their first tries, the first trio of pitchers voted in together by the writers. Biggio made it on his third attempt after falling two votes shy last year.

Steroids-tainted stars Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa again fell

far short of half of the votes and appear to have little chance of reaching the necessary 75 percent during their remaining time on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot.

“It’s actually sad, to be honest. It’s sad,” Martinez said. “People I admired are not going in with me.”

The quartet will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 26. The BBWAA had not voted in four players together since selecting Joe DiMaggio, Gabby Hartnett, Ted Lyons and Dazzy Vance 60 years earlier.

A five-time Cy Young Award winner with 303 victories and 4,875 strikeouts, Johnson was selected on 534 of 549 ballots by BBWAA members who have been with the organization for 10 consecutive years at any point. The left-hander appeared on 97.3 percent of the ballots, the eighthhighest mark in the history of voting.

They were on two ends of the spectrum, but both couldn’t be disappointed with the way the Lady Horsemen performed in a nondistrict girls basketball game against Las Vegas Robertson. They suffocated the Lady Cardinals to four firstquarter points and one free throw in the third as St. Michael’s collected its 11th straight win with a 52-30 win in Perez-Shelley Gymnasium. The winning streak is the longest in Romero’s nine years as head coach.

It’s also produced the best start to the season during Romero’s tenure,

Broncos’ Moore even-keeled as he seeks atonement

So, tucked away in the reading of the minutes of Yet, as with all things the New Mexico Activiclassification-and-alignties Association’s Dec. 4 ment-related, you wonder meeting was an informahow would it look? In the tion item NMAA executive 2000s, classes were set in director Sally Marquez varying sizes (AAAAA had James offered to the board regard22 schools, while AA had Barron ing that dreaded phrase 34) and there were always Commentary “classification and alignthose bubble schools that ment.” bounced from one class to the next. When six classes During a fall leadership were instituted, it watered down conference with athletic directors divisions even more — AAA had 19 from around the state, they were schools, which meant 20-loss teams asked how many classes they prefer made it to the state basketball tourfor classification/alignment. Out of nament on a yearly basis.

167 responses, 78 chose five classes, 55 liked six and 34 would like to take The latest round of classification/

alignment evened out the classes more reasonably, in part because the NMAA wanted to do away with three-team districts. Considering 161 schools participate in activities and athletics in the state, could we see a homogenized version of five classes?

That would make four 32-school classes and one 33-school class.

What would that snapshot look like? Using last year’s three-year enrollment averages that were the guidelines for the NMAA, Santa Fe High would be just a middle-of-theroad AAAAA school, and Capital (at an average of 1,149 students) would be the biggest AAAA program with St. Michael’s and Santa Fe Indian School as district foes.

How about Las Vegas Robertson and West Las Vegas, two schools forever joined at the classification hip for the Meadow City, splitting up (Robertson in AAAA and AAA

belonging to West Las Vegas)?

Here’s some good news for Desert Academy: It would be the AA school it always wanted to be but couldn’t thanks to the Draconian private-school multiplier (thanks, private-school haters). Sadly, though, Pecos and Mora would still be the star-crossed rivals who have to dislike each other from other sides of the looking glass (Pecos in AA, Mora still in A).

That would be the imprint in 2014.

We all know that enrollment numbers fluctuate like fall temperatures in the North. Heck, Capital head coach Bill Moon has been saying for two years the Jaguars are going to be playing with the big boys. Chances are, he’s going to be right, considering how much the school has grown.

How about that? Capital and Santa Fe High, together in AAAAA. There’s little wrong with that.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The physical scar serves as Rahim Moore’s motivation. So, too, the emotional one.

But the Broncos free safety doesn’t want to ponder either one this weekend in his first playoff game since his infamous gaffe two years ago, which led to a franchise-jolting, doubleovertime loss to Baltimore.

Moore missed Denver’s drive to the Super Bowl last year after a rare muscle condition cut short his eyecatching comeback at midseason and sent him to the hospital where surgeons saved his left leg.

When he returned to the practice field this spring, sporting a 13-inch scar that serpentines down his left calf, he cried.

Moore doesn’t expect the tears to flow when the Broncos (12-4) face the Indianapolis Colts (12-5) on Sunday, one day shy of the two-year anniversary of his blunder against Baltimore and 14 months after his emergency operation.

BASEBALL MLB 2015 Hall of Fame Voting 549 votes cast, 412 needed Randy Johnson 534 (97.3%), Pedro Martinez 500 (91.1), John Smoltz 455 (82.9), Craig Biggio 454 (82.7), Mike Piazza 384 (69.9), Jeff Bagwell 306 (55.7), Tim Raines 302 (55.0), Curt Schilling 215 (39.2), Roger Clemens 206 (37.5), Barry Bonds 202 (36.8), Lee Smith 166 (30.2), Edgar Martinez 148 (27.0), Alan Trammell 138 (25.1), Mike Mussina 135 (24.6), Jeff Kent 77 (14.0), Fred McGriff 71 (12.9), Larry Walker 65 (11.8), Gary Sheffield 64 (11.7), Mark McGwire 55 (10.0), x-Don Mattingly 50 (9.1), Sammy Sosa 36 (6.6), Nomar Garciaparra 30 (5.5).

By receiving fewer than 27 votes (less than 5 percent), Carlos Delgado 21 (3.8), Troy Percival 4 (0.7), Aaron Boone and Tom Gordon 2 (0.4), Darin Erstad 1 (0.2) and Rich Aurilia, Tony Clark, Jermaine Dye, Cliff Floyd, Brian Giles, Eddie Guardado and Jason Schmidt 0 are no longer eligible for election by the BBWAA. x-final year on ballot, eligible for consideration by the Expansion Era Committee in 2017.

Hall: Mike Piazza fell 28 votes short, but increased to 69.9 percent Continued from Page B-1 in 2001, had been the tallest Hall of Famer, according to STATS. “I don’t think people quite understand how difficult it is to be 6-foot-10 and be throwing a ball 60 feet, 6 inches away,” Johnson said.

“In order to do that, you have to consistent with your release point and where you’re landing and your arm slot and all that. For someone 6-1, 6-2, there’s less body to keep under control, so it’s a lot easier.”

A three-time Cy Young winner with flamboyance to go along with his fastball, Martinez appeared on 500 ballots (91.1 percent).

He was 219-100, struck out 3,154, led the major leagues in ERA five times and in 2004 helped the Boston Red

Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years.

Martinez followed Juan Marichal (1983) as the second Dominican Hall of Famer. Eleven inches shorter than Johnson, Martinez pitched with exceptional intensity.

“My body would change half an hour before the game, and I would just become this serious, focused person because my dad reminded me you’ve got to be serious about your job,” Martinez recalled. “I saw everybody as an enemy, and I saw everybody as like in a jungle: You just kill to survive. And that’s the intensity and the focus I had to keep to do it every day on a day-today basis. And that’s the kind of chip on the shoulder that people thought I had, even though that was my way to concentrate and do the day to day

things that I did in baseball.”

Smoltz was on 455 ballots (82.9 percent). The 1996 NL Cy Young winner was 213-155 with 154 saves, the only pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves.

He went 15-4 in the postseason during a 21-year career that included 3½ seasons in the bullpen when he returned slowly following elbow surgery that sidelined him for the 2000 season.

He combined with Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine to form a starting rotation that was the primary factor in Atlanta’s record 14 consecutive playoff appearances.

Now Smoltz will join the pair in the Hall following their inductions last July.

“The three of us share such a unique bond that I don’t think anyone really feels any different than the other per-

son, although I can tell you that I’m not in their class when it talks about the numbers that they put up,” Smoltz said. “But I’m probably not in anyone’s class because of the strangeness of my career and the uniqueness of what I did.”

Biggio appeared on 454 ballots, 42 more than needed and up from 68.2 percent in his first appearance and 74.8 percent last year. A catcher who shifted to second base and spent three seasons in the outfield, he had 3,060 hits and 668 doubles in 20 big league seasons, all with the Houston Astros.

“I was a nervous dog this morning.

I haven’t been this anxious in a long time,” Biggio said. “Maybe it does mean a little bit more this year.”

Mike Piazza fell 28 votes short but increased his percentage to 69.9 from

57.8 in 2013 and 62.2 last year.

Both making their third appearances, Clemens received 37.5 percent and Bonds 36.8 percent. In his ninth and next-to-last year of eligibility, McGwire got 10 percent — less than half his peak of 23.6 percent in 2008.

Sosa was on 6.6 percent of the ballots, just above the 5 percent threshold for remaining on next year’s list.

Don Mattingly received 9.1 percent in his 15th and final appearance on the ballot. Under a change made by the Hall’s board last summer, players’ eligibility was cut from 15 years to 10 but the 11-15 group was grandfathered.

Among the 17 first-time eligibles who will be dropped are Carlos Delgado (3.8 percent) and players’ association head Tony Clark, who did not get any votes.

PREP ROUNDUP

Northern New Mexico

Santa Fe High beats Moriarty SCOREBOARD The New Mexican

David Rodriguez knows things are going to get tough in a couple weeks, so he wants to make sure SFHS 53 his Santa Fe High Moriarty 44 Demons can take care of that most precious rock.

The Santa Fe High boys basketball team did just that in a 53-44 win at Moriarty on Tuesday night, and it gave head coach Rodriguez a glimmer of hope.

“I thought we played well and took care of the ball, and we’re starting to take care of the ball a lot better,” he said.

“We executed the defensive game plan and rebounded very well.”

The Demons (9-7) are going to have to limit turnovers when they travel to Rio Rancho on Jan. 20 to open District 1AAAAAA play against the Rams, as mistakes will have to be kept to a minimum to keep up with their new district opponents.

“It was the entire team that took care of the ball, and we’re going to have to because it’s going to get real serious against

some talented teams,” Rodriguez said.

Vito Coppola led Santa Fe High with 14 points, and teammate Warren Fulgenzi was right on his tail with 13. The Demons kept 6-foot-7 Moriarty center Jake Flaming to teamhigh 13 points.

GIRLS

TIERRA ENCANTADA 47, ACADEMY FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS 33 In the midst of a rough first year as a varsity program, ATC head coach Ray Royal is just looking for anything positive.

He believes he saw a strong fight out of his girls in a nondistrict loss to the Lady Alacranes — who are a provisional varsity program not yet eligible to compete for the postseason — at the Santa Fe Boys and Girls Club, and that’s going to lead to better things for his struggling players.

“I just want to stay positive with them,” he said. “The end result will be better if they continue to work hard. The wins are going to come.”

The Phoenix (1-11) got 14 points from Ashley Zapata and 12 points from Felicity Sealy.

Briana Duran dropped 16 points to lead Tierra Encan-

tada while Melissa Torrez scored 15 and Steph Gonzales 12.

MCCURDY 42, SANTA FE PREP 38 After a 38-36 loss in overtime to Escalante on Dec. 11, the Blue Griffins dropped another close one to the Lady Bobcats after leading 22-18 at halftime for their second straight loss, and these close losses are starting to hurt.

“When you expect to beat a team, then it stings a little more,” Prep head coach Anika Amon said. “I thought we were very evenly matched. It was back and forth and very tight throughout.”

Freshman guard Karla Santos had a game-high 17 points to lead McCurdy (5-4) while Patricia Loera scored 11. Prep (5-3) got 15 points from Alexis Mundt and 10 from Bianca Gonzales.

LOS ALAMOS 62, ALBUQUERQUE ST. PIUS X 60 The Lady Hilltoppers held St. Pius to just nine points in the third quarter to take a 51-42 lead, but had to hold off a furious rally by the host Lady Sartans to improve to 10-1 on the season.

Los Alamos got 18 points from Ashlynn Trujillo, and Amber Logan added 12 despite fouling out in the fourth quarter.

Makaela Jones added 11, and

that proved crucial considering St. Pius wing and St. Bonaventure-bound Natalie Zamora had 35 points that kept her team within striking distance.

“It was a great environment,” said Nestor Trujillo, Los Alamos head coach. “Natalie had a great game. Amber had a great game. “We took the lead early in the third quarter and were in control until the end.”

PECOS 54, SANTA ROSA 41 Early foul trouble didn’t keep a trio of Lady Panthers from scoring in double digits in a nondistrict win over the Lady Lions in Louis G. Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium.

Megan Armijo finished with 16 points and Ida Valencia 14 points despite both picking up three fouls in the first half.

On top of that, senior KeeAnna Trujillo added 13 points for the Lady Panthers.

“Both of them are tough,” Pecos head coach Ron Drake said of Armijo and Valencia.

“But we had some players step up because of the foul trouble.

I use seven girls, and the other two stepped up.”

With a 9-3 record, the Lady Panthers already bested their eight-game win total from last year.

On the boys side, Pecos lost to Santa Rosa 64-58 to fall to 6-6 on the season.

Lobos: Aget leads UNM with 7 points Continued from Page B-1 improved to 12-4 overall and 2-1 in league play. The Aztecs held the Lobos to just 30 percent shooting and outrebounded them 37-31.

Broadcast nationally on CBS Sports Network, the game didn’t actually come on the air until the game was nearly four minutes old because the previous game, Providence-Butler, had run long. When the broadcast turned to the Lobos, they were down 8-0, having missed their first six shots.

That trend continued almost the entire first half as UNM misfired on 13 of its first 15 shots and had just two field goals in the first 13 minutes. And still they were down only 22-18 at halftime thanks to 3-point baskets by Greenwood and Devon Williams in the final 1:11 of the half.

The Lobos were just 6-for-27 from the

floor in the first 20 minutes and only 2-for18 from inside the 3-point line. The only thing that kept them in it was San Diego State’s own masonry work. The Aztecs shot 29 percent (8-for-28) before the half.

The Lobos’ starting lineup produced just 10 points before the half and Deshawn Delaney, the team’s leading scorer this season, continued his own Greenwood-esque shooting slump by missing each of his first four shots.

He began the second half by scoring his first points on a driving layup while breaking SDSU’s press, a bucket that got UNM within 24-20 with 19 minutes left. But his emergence coincided with that of Shepard, a player that Lobos head coach Craig Neal has said is one of the best in the Mountain West.

Shepard scored on consecutive possessions after a pair of Delaney free throws

as SDSU’s lead grew to 37-26 after a Matt Shrigley 3-pointer and a pair of low post buckets by Shepard. It was all part of a 13-4 run.

The Lobos stemmed the tide and eventually closed to within 40-34 after two Arthur Edwards free throws with nine minutes remaining, but another Shrigley 3-pointer was followed by a New Mexico turnover and a three-point play by Trey Kell to give SDSU its biggest lead to that point, 46-34 less than 30 seconds later.

The lead grew to as many as 15 points down the stretch.

Obij Aget lead UNM with seven points.

Greenwood had a team-high six rebounds.

San Diego State has now gone 62 straight games without consecutive losses, the second-longest streak in the country behind Louisville. The Aztecs had been beaten by Fresno State a few days earlier.

11th: Lady Horsemen improve to 11-2 Continued from Page B-1 as St. Michael’s is now 11-2 after an 0-2 start. Robertson head coach Leroy Barela, who has watched his team play Albuquerque Hope Christian, Portales and Santa Fe Indian School already, knows where the Lady Horsemen rank among the AAAA contenders in his view.

“They’re right up there with them,” Barela said.

The staple for success for the Lady Horsemen is always their defense, and they gave yet another demonstration of that.

Robertson turned the ball over 21 times on the evening, and at one point had most turnovers (17) than points (15) entering the fourth quarter.

St. Michael’s did not allow a field goal for a 10 minute, 49 second stretch after Lady Cardinals wing Brianna Roybal nailed a 3-pointer with :41 left in the first half. That basket cut the St. Michael’s lead to 24-14, but it was as close as Robertson (5-8) got as the Lady Horsemen went on a decisive 18-1 run that didn’t stop until Amber Yara’s

baseline drive with 5:57 remaining in the game.

Romero hopes that his team’s performance catches other teams’ attention throughout the state, as if the winning streak hadn’t done that yet.

“I hope it opens eyes,” Romero said.

Perhaps it was because the Lady Cardinals were already battle-tested in the season.

They battled reigning state champion Portales to within 54-41 and led Albuquerque Hope Christian in the fourth quarter before the Lady Huskies won 37-30. Robertson also gave the Lady Braves all they could handle in the semifinals of the Lady Braves Classic, getting within 38-35 in the fourth quarter before falling 57-39.

But the Lady Cardinals showed the ability to go into scoreless droughts during the season as they adjust to Barela, their third head coach in as many seasons, without the benefit of a summer with him.

That scoreless funk came early against the eager Lady Horsemen.

Robertson turned the ball

over eight times in the first quarter and hit just two of eight shots from the field. St. Michael’s converted those missed passes and shots into easy baskets, as it hit six of its first 10 shots to take a 14-2 lead on Cris Gabaldon’s breakaway layup with 2 minutes, 43 seconds left in the opening quarter.

“It’s all about getting that momentum first,” Groenewold said. “We didn’t want them to get going right away because then we would be in the hole and have to catch up. So, it was important for us to jump on them right away. Once we did that, they became flustered and turned the ball over.”

Of those six baskets, only one came from outside of the paint — a 14-footer from Groenewold as she scored 10 of her 22 points in the opening quarter. The 5-foot-7 senior post went up against 5-9 Alicia Arguello and 6-2 freshman Angelica Montoya, and more than held her own in the paint.

Her multitude of post moves, plus her quickness off the dribble gives her the advantage

she needs against bigger foes.

She also grabbed 13 rebounds to neutralize Robertson’s size advantage.

“A coach can tell you what Alex brings, but you don’t know until you have to try and defend it,” Romero said. “She is so intelligent. You take one thing away, then she up-andunders you, or spin moves or crosses over.”

She’s also a tough critic of herself and her team’s performance. Groenewold pointed out a lapse in intensity midway through the second quarter, which allowed Robertson to run its offense more efficiently.

The Lady Cardinals went on a 7-3 spurt that ended with Roybal’s triple.

“We still have a lot of work on with defense,” Groenewold said. “Little tweaks here and there. We just need to polish those up a little bit.”

If the statement by the Lady Horsemen is that they’re still a work in progress, it might make teams wonder what the finished product will look like.

NBA ROUNDUP

Pistons rally in final seconds to beat Spurs The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe each had a double-double and the Detroit Pistons scored four points in the final Pistons 105 11 seconds, rallying for Spurs 104 an exciting 105-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night.

With just eight seconds left, Brandon Jennings collected an errant inbounds pass and drove the length of the court for

the game-winning basket with 0.1 seconds remaining.

Drummond had 20 points and 17 rebounds and Monroe added 17 points and 11 rebounds as the Pistons pushed their winning streak to six games.

Drummond and Monroe dominated the inside, but it was Jennings who punctuated that effort for the Pistons (11-23).

San Antonio point guard Tony Parker played just 13 minutes in his return from a five-game absence due to a strained left hamstring.

SUNS 102, BUCKS 96 In Milwaukee, Markieff Morris scored 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Phoenix Suns to the win.

Isaiah Thomas added 19 and Goran Dragic 16 for the Suns, who have scored a 100 or more points for nine straight games.

Brandon Knight scored 26 and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 16 for the Bucks, who lost their fourth straight at home.

The Suns have won nine of the last 11 and opened the four-game road trip with their third consecutive victory. They upped their record to 8-1 over Eastern Conference foes.

TOP 25 BASKETBALL

New Mexico State holds off Highlands 75-67

Top-ranked Kentucky survives Mississippi rallies in overtime The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Aaron Harrison scored 26 points, including two big free throws with 1:29 1 Kentucky 89 remaining in overtime Mississippi 86 to put Kentucky ahead to stay, and the top-ranked Wildcats withstood three final Mississippi attempts to rally before escaping with an 89-86 victory Tuesday night.

Overwhelming favorites against a Mississippi squad they had beaten 102 times in 115 previous meetings, the Wildcats (14-0, 1-0 SEC) instead survived a back-and-forth battle with the determined Rebels in their Southeastern Conference opener. Especially in OT, as missed free throws down the stretch gave the Rebels chances to go ahead or tie the game.

Mississippi couldn’t take advantage as LaDarius White missed on one possession and the Rebels (9-5, 0-1) lost the ball out of bounds on the next. The Rebels had one last opportunity after Trey Lyles missed two free throws with 15.4 seconds left, but Martavious Newby’s 3-pointer bounced high and was grabbed by Willie Cauley-Stein to keep Kentucky unbeaten.

NO. 8 VILLANOVA 90, NO. 24 ST. JOHN’S 72 In New York, Darrun Hilliard scored 21 points and Villanova rebounded nicely from its first defeat of the season, pulling away from St. John’s in the second half for a victory.

Dylan Ennis added 15 points and nine rebounds for the balanced Wildcats (14-1, 2-1 Big East) in a matchup of teams that both lost at Seton Hall last week.

Daniel Ochefu had 13 points and 13 boards to help coach Jay Wright earn his 300th win at Villanova.

D’Angelo Harrison scored 25 for the Red Storm (11-4, 0-3), who dropped their third straight after a promising showing in non-conference play. Secondleading scorer Rysheed Jordan returned from a one-game leave of absence and provided little, shooting 0 for 6 and scoring a season-low two points in 26 minutes.

NO. 17 IOWA STATE 63, OKLAHOMA STATE 61 In Ames, Iowa, Dustin Hogue

blocked a 3-point try with under a second left to help Iowa State hold off Oklahoma State in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

Hogue had all 17 of his points in the second half for the Cyclones (11-2, 1-0 Big 12), who shook off a cold start to beat the Cowboys for the third straight time — all by four points or less.

Phil Forte’s layup pulled Oklahoma State within 63-61 with 55 seconds to go. But Hogue stuffed Tavarius Shine’s try from the corner, and Georges Niang blocked Forte’s desperation 3 at the buzzer.

Forte had 21 points and Le’Bryan Nash scored 19 for Oklahoma State (11-3, 1-1).

NO. 22 OHIO STATE 74, MINNESOTA 72 (OT) In Minneapolis, Marc Loving’s jump shot from the lane with 5.6 seconds left in overtime lifted Ohio State to a victory over Minnesota, helping the Buckeyes escape with the win after blowing a 12-point secondhalf lead.

D’Angelo Russell had 25 of his 27 points in the first half, missing all seven of his field-goal attempts after the break, but he made two critical free throws for Ohio State (13-3, 2-1 Big Ten) in the closing minutes. Loving added 13 points and seven rebounds.

Mo Walker had 18 points and nine rebounds, DeAndre Mathieu scored 17 points and Andre Hollins had all 12 of his points in the second half, but the Gophers (11-5, 0-3) weren’t able to turn their comeback into a win.

NO. 23 ARKANSAS 79, GEORGIA 75 In Athens, Ga., Bobby Portis scored 21 points, Michael Qualls added 15 and Arkansas rallied from a first-half deficit of 13 points to beat Georgia in the Southeastern Conference opener for each team.

Arkansas (12-2, 1-0 SEC) needed a strong second half for its sixth straight win. The Razorbacks played from behind before taking their first lead with about 6 minutes remaining.

A rebound and basket by Georgia’s Marcus Thornton with 4.5 seconds remaining cut the Arkansas lead to 77-75. Two free throws by Qualls pushed the lead back to four points.

Nemanja Djurisic led Georgia (9-4, 0-1) with 16 points. The loss ended the Bulldogs’ sixgame winning streak, their longest in four years.

LAS CRUCES — Remi Barry had 16 points and DK Eldridge had 15 with nine assists as New Mexico State held off determined Division II New Mexico Highlands 75-67 on Tuesday night.

Pascal Siakam contributed 14 points for

Continued from Page B-1 Moore said, pledging to stay even-keeled until the game clock hits all zeros.

“Don’t dwell on the past, you’ve got to be futuristic,” Moore said. “I’m going to go out there and do what I’ve been doing all year.”

What he did was have another solid season, this time in the shadows of the Broncos’ three Pro Bowl defensive backs: Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward and Chris Harris Jr. In the hushed locker room following his ball-throughBuckner’s-legs moment against Baltimore, Moore promised next time to make the play and make up for his mistake — going for the ball instead of the tackle at the 30, then mistiming his jump.

To do that, he knows he can’t let his thirst for redemption get in the way.

He said he plans to “just go out there and act like it’s a normal game, still keep the same preparations, still get after it, still work hard, don’t try to say, ‘Oh, you have this bad taste in your mouth.’ No, just go out there and make a play. When you make a play, all that stuff is over.”

In Andrew Luck, Moore will be facing another quarterback who can sling it just like Joe Flacco did when he hit Jacoby Jones for that 70-yard TD in the final minute of regulation. Luck also brings mobility and size.

“Andrew Luck has elite speed and then when you try to tackle him, he may run you over, he may sidestep you,” Moore said.

“He’s tough, too. He’s got good size. He’s one of those guys where you watch him on film, you’re like, ‘Man, he’s fantastic.’

New Mexico State (8-9).

The Aggies, who have lost all seven road games, have also struggled at home this year, losing two for the first time since the 2011-12 season.

The Cowboys’ Kendrick Nichols hit a 3-pointer for a 46-42 lead early in the second half.

Then NMSU went on a 14-5 run, which

But you hope he’s not fantastic versus you.”

Two of Moore’s four interceptions this season came against Luck in the opener, which Denver won 31-24 after going up 24-0 at halftime and 31-10 in the fourth quarter.

Moore also collected 50 tackles this season, broke up five passes, forced two fumbles and recovered one.

“He’s done a tremendous job,” coach John Fox said. “You bring up [his bouncing back] from that particular play, it speaks a lot for the kind of young man and human being he is as well as a football player. He’s played good football for us. He’s had a very good season. He’s a big reason why we’re where we are defensively.”

According to the advanced statistics of Pro Football Focus, Moore had one of the best seasons of any safety in the NFL, leading the league in coverage snaps (688) and cover snaps per target (31.1) and ranking third in yards per cover snap (0.27) and cover snaps per reception (40.5).

New Barrio Brinery brings joy of fermented foods to Santa Fe — beyond the grocery aisle and with health benefits intact

For The New Mexican

S

anta Fe is officially full of food people. We photograph our meals, we take cooking classes on vacation, and visiting a small local shop that only sells one item on our grocery list is a recreational activity, an excursion with a tasty reward. Santa Fe is becoming the kind of town where you can hop from momand-pop to mom-and-pop, with a dedicated cheese shop, a honey salon, an olive oil and vinegar store, and now a neighborhood shop basically selling only one thing: lovingly brined pickles.

Pickling, essentially, is the process of preserving food in a liquid solution, typically either vinegar or brine. Most of the pickles you find on the shelf in the supermarket are cucumbers soaked in vinegar, and they are often pasteurized, which gives them a longer shelf life but essentially creates a dead pickle devoid of health benefits. In salt brining, lacto-fermentation sours the pickle and cultures lactobacillus bacteria in the brine, the very bacteria your holistic health provider reminds you to pick up at the health food store to solve all your modern dietary problems. “It helps keep a good healthy bacterial bloom going in your gut,” says Pat Block, the owner-proprietor of the new Barrio Brinery on West Alameda. Block’s pickles are brined in salt water, are not pasteurized and must be kept refrigerated, so as to preserve as much of this beneficial bacteria as possible.

Block is fairly new to the specialty food world. He retired in 2013 from the New Mexico Game and Fish Department, where he had worked for 25 years, and while he still works as a lobbyist one or two months out of the year, he found himself with time on his hands. Block, who has always had an interest in food, toyed with the idea of opening a restaurant but thought that might be a bit more than he wanted to bite off. The concept of the Brinery was born after Block’s first foray into brining: a batch of green tomatoes picked by necessity after a winter frost, which were a success. He had also noted the uptick in interest in fermented foods throughout the voracious foodie-verse, as people have become more aware of their gut flora and rediscover the joys of kimchi, yogurt and kombucha.

The business plan got a boost when Block entered MIX Santa Fe’s BizMIX competition at the last minute and came in third. “With about an hour to go before their deadline, I put a quick proposal together, and we ended up being one of their finalists,” laughs Block.

By “we” he means his family, since the Barrio Brinery is definitely a family operation.

Block and his wife and son comprise the staff, and do all the brining and preparation themselves. “The equipment needs are pretty low because it’s such a simple process,” he adds. “Produce, salt, water and time, and your spices … it’s something we were able to do with a fairly shoestring budget. It’s good, it’s good for you, and it is dirt simple.”

Visitors to the Brinery are immediately greeted by an array of pickles in trays so they can taste one of everything and figure out which zingy containers of cukes to take home. The Barrio Brinery currently makes four kinds of pickles — half sour, kosher dill, hot and spicy, and garlic. The brine mixture for all four of them is essentially the same; a mixture of canning salt, spices, chile and water. But the varying amounts of chile and garlic change the flavor profile dramatically — the hot and spicy pickles have an immediate heady punch of capsaicin, while the garlic pickles are aromatic and pleasantly pungent.

Block makes what he believes to be the only half-sour pickle in town. “When I started talking about [the brinery], anyone I talked to who had ever lived in New York … said you have to do the half sour. You can’t get them anywhere around here.” Half-sour pickles are pickles that have been brined and fermented for a much shorter time than a traditional kosher pickle — typically only about four days for Block’s pickles — and are crisper, less salty and retain more of the the fresh green taste of the cucumbers.

Block adds no sugar to his brine, but the pickles have a slight tinge of aromatic sweetness due to the combination of spices he uses, heady spices like clove, cinnamon and allspice, according to what he describes as a “pretty traditional” kosher pickle recipe. “I think that has been somewhat surprising to folks who have only had jarred grocery store pickles,” Block says. It tastes like something, and I don’t think they were expecting it. Most folks think that’s a good thing.”

Block’s one nod to local flavor is the crushed New Mexico red chile he uses instead of the usual dried red cayenne.

Block, who tended bar at The Santa Fe Opera for years, has a few additional ideas about how to use his pickle brine besides drinking it straight (which is always a tasty option). “I’ve heard from a couple of bartenders that they’d like to dirty a martini with [the brine],” he says. “Our escabeche brine makes a killer chaser for tequila. … I’ve made a halfsour margarita with a little red chile salt rim, and I’m going to play with a cucumber collins next, with the half-sour. They have the salt flavor, but they still have a little of the cucumber flavor.”

Family Favorite Minestrone: A Italian-style soup, chock-full of vegetables, beans and pasta in a tomato-y broth. DEB LINDSEY/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Soup to warm your winters

By Ellie Krieger Special to The Washington Post

Peek into my refrigerator anytime throughout the winter, and you will find the basics: milk, yogurt, eggs and such. But to get to them, chances are you will have to move a big pot of minestrone out of the way. I make it practically every week. It’s to the point where I feel a little out of sorts if I don’t have some around.

The Italian-style soup, chock-full of vegetables, beans and pasta in a tomato-y broth, has become a staple in my home, for good reason. First and foremost, everyone in my family (immediate and extended) loves and requests it. It also fills a constant need for convenient, filling, flavorful food that is packed with nutrition. I typically make a double batch, so I have dinner at the ready on hectic weeknights. A cup of it makes for an energizing afternoon snack for my tween-age daughter to heat up when she comes home from school.

I start with the accompanying recipe but add on based on whatever I happen to have on hand. The pot practically begs me to toss in that extra cup of broccoli or chopped fennel uneaten from the previous night’s dinner. When I have fresh herbs that need to be used up, they go in, too, as does leftover cooked pasta.

I also relish the opportunity to toss in a rind of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, which infuses the broth with another layer of flavor. I suppose that’s another reason I am compelled to make this soup all the time: It’s where my leftovers luxuriate.

FAMILY FAVORITE MINESTRONE 6 servings (makes 11½ to 12 cups) The soup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. From nutritionist and cookbook author Ellie Krieger.

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, diced 2 ribs celery, diced (½ cup) 1 large carrot, scrubbed well, then diced 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced 1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), diced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 28 ounces canned, no-salt-added crushed tomatoes 48 ounces (6 cups) no-salt-added vegetable broth or chicken broth 15 ounces canned, no-salt-added small red beans, drained and rinsed ½ cup dried, whole-grain elbow pasta ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for garnish Preparation: Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion, celery, carrot and bell pepper; cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Add the zucchini, garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and broth; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Partially cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, then add the beans and pasta.

Uncover; increase the heat to medium-high just long enough to return the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the pasta and vegetables are tender.

Divide among individual bowls; garnish each portion with the cheese.

Ellie Krieger’s most recent cookbook is Weeknight Wonders: Delicious Healthy Dinners in 30 Minutes or Less (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013).

Barrio Brinery currently makes four kinds of pickles — half sour, kosher dill, hot and spicy, and garlic. Block makes what he believes to be the only half-sour pickle in town.

The only non-cucumber product the Brinery currently offers is the aforementioned escabeche, described by Block as a “relish of jalapeño, onion, carrot, some fresh oregano and garlic,” which is kick-in-the-pants spicy and addictively tangy, and can be eaten on its own or as a garnish. “It’s been a big seller,” Block says, “especially from people who say, ‘Holy cow that’s hot! That’s too hot! I’ll take one.’ ” And there are more products on the horizon: Next month Block plans to pickle raw green chile, and for all you Reuben fanatics out there, Block is hoping to add sauerkraut to the slate by the end of January.

“The cool thing about fermented food and pickles is that people are pretty passionate about pickles,” he says. “Plus they’re fun and they’re funny. So it’s easy to have a good time with them. … I love when someone bites into one and you can hear it crunch from across the counter.”

Cart tips: Sauerkraut, Broccoleaf Sweet and sauer: Rachel Armistead makes Sweet Farm Sauerkraut the traditional way: with nothing but sea salt, spices, organic vegetables and time. The result is clean, crunchy, fermented goodness, in four flavors: classic, beet, curry and curtido (the last with Latin spices). For a list of stores, go to www.sweet farmsauerkraut.com.

A new leaf: California grower Foxy Organic has declared its Broccoleaf “the next superfood” you ought to know. The company produces some of the largest broccoli leaves we’ve seen, which means they’d be ripe for wrapping and filling, cabbage-leaf style. They are the young, inner leaves of the broccoli plant, harvested about two-thirds of the way through a 90-day growing period.

We found Broccoleaf less bitter than kale leaves; they become spinach-soft when sautéed. Bonus: The stems hold a lot of moisture, which makes them great for juicing. Available by late January at some Wegmans and Whole Foods Markets, about $1.99 to $2.99 per bunch.

Strong dollar makes world travel cheaper for Americans

By David Koenig

Best bargains

The Associated Press

DALLAS — If you’ve been putting off a trip abroad because it’s too expensive, start packing your bags.

A stronger dollar has reduced the price of travel, from a hotel room to a glass of beer, in much of Europe, Japan, India and elsewhere.

“This is one of the best times for Americans to travel in years,” says Matt Kepnes, author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day and other travel books.

Why the dollar is strong

Skiers ride above a snowy landscape at Red Mountain in Rossland, British Columbia. Red Mountain is one of eight ski resorts along a circuit called the Powder Highway. JEREMY HAINSWORTH/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Jeremy Hainsworth

IF YOU GO

The Associated Press

ROSSLAND, British Columbia or many in the skiing world, the resorts of Canada’s Powder Highway in British Columbia’s Kootenay region are secrets they’d rather not share with the public.

The circuit links eight mountain resorts and many times more Nordic, heli- and cat-ski operations across 420 miles.

“There’s very little out there that can rival the quality and terrain in the Kootenays,” says Ian Johnston, a Vancouver transplant to Rossland, where he skis at Red Mountain.

“If you want powder, you go to the Kootenays,” he says. “If you go to party, you go to Whistler,” referring to the better-known and massive ski resort that hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics, a nine-hour drive from Rossland.

Like most locals, Johnston grudgingly agrees that those along the Powder Highway need to share their light, airy powder bonanza with the world.

The laid-back resorts offer miles of trails, massive quantities of vertical feet, heli-skiing and communities where skiing is a passion passed from generation to generation by friendly locals.

The gems along the highway through the pristine valleys of the western slope of the Rockies and the Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges are, starting in the East Kootenay, Fernie Alpine Resort near the mining town of Fernie; Kicking Horse Mountain Resort west of the entrance to Yoho National Park; Kimberley Alpine Resort outside the picturesque city of Kimberley; Panorama Mountain Resort outside Inver-

Powder Highway: www.kootenayrockies. com/cat/ski-snowboard/. The Kootenay region is halfway between Calgary, Alberta, and Vancouver, British Columbia. There are numerous ski resorts in both provinces.

Getting there: Castlegar airport near Rossland, British Columbia, has flights from Vancouver and Calgary. Trail airport, also near Rossland, has flights from Vancouver.

Rossland is a 2½-hour drive from the international airport in Spokane, Wash., where you can catch shuttle vans to Rossland.

mere; and Revelstoke Mountain Resort west of Kicking Horse.

Moving into the West Kootenay region, Red Mountain Resort is minutes from the cities of Rossland and Trail, and Whitewater Ski sits above the trendy lakeside city of Nelson.

Fernie averages 37 feet of snow a year and boasts a season from December through April, as do most area mountains. With a vertical rise of 3,550 feet, it offers 142 runs including five Alpine bowls and tree skiing.

At 4,133 feet, Kicking Horse boasts the fourth-highest vertical drop in North America. It boasts 120 runs, 60 percent of which are rated at advanced or expert.

Right at the edge of the Rockies, the resort offers some of the most stunning mountains views in North America.

For hard-core powder aficionados looking for rides through hefty powder fields, Kicking Horse — aka “The Champagne Powder Capital of Canada” — and Revelstoke are the destinations of choice. Located outside the charming Alpine-themed former mining town from which it takes its name,

Kimberley offers 2,465 vertical feet of skiing served by five lifts.

Panorama offers 2,847 acres of terrain covering the spectrum from wideopen fall line cruisers to powder-filled tree lines. The area’s Taynton Bowl, once a heli-skiing operation, is avalanche-controlled and no backcountry gear is needed. Get your ski legs warmed up first, though, as the bowl is all black runs, but it’s a great place to find powder stashes days after a dump.

Revelstoke proclaims itself to be the only resort worldwide to offer lift, cat, heli- and backcountry skiing from one village base with a vertical drop of 5,620 feet. (Cat-skiing uses snowcats or snowmobiles to access off-trail areas.)

Powder Magazine calls Whitewater “one of the best powder mountains on the continent,” though some would say it’s a toss-up between Whitewater and nearby Red Mountain. Whitewater offers 2,044 vertical feet of riding serviced by four lifts serving 81 Alpine runs and 13 Nordic trails.

Nearby Nelson is a year-round tourist destination in itself. Its downtown streets are lined with art and Alpine equipment stores and fantastic little eateries.

Red Mountain offers 2,919 feet of vertical drop on 110 runs serviced by seven lifts. For the powder-seekers, look no farther than the aptly named Paradise section of Granite Mountain, where locals or the mountain’s Snow Hosts (look for their jackets) can direct skiers to the runs rich with the deep stuff.

“No crowds, good snow. Red Mountain has some of the best deep-tree skiing I have ever seen in my life,” says Johnston, who prefers the powder there to Southwestern U.S. offerings at Snowbird, Alta and Sun Valley.

Other economies are shaky, making their currencies less valuable.

Europe is barely growing. Japan is already officially in recession. China’s growth has slowed. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy has been chugging along, and the dollar has gained, too.

Many economists expect that steady U.S. growth will compel the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates later this year, making dollar investments more attractive and leading traders to sell other currencies and buy dollars.

What it means Let’s say that in June you had a charming dinner for two in Paris for 75 euros. First, congratulations. Second, it cost $103 then; today it would be $89. Expensive countries may not be cheap, but at least they’re more affordable now.

Thanks to the pound’s decline, England is cheaper than it was six months ago. But the euro has slumped more, making most of continental Europe an even better bargain. Travel writer Kepnes says Greece is attractive right now because hotels and tour operators have been slashing prices to fill rooms. The same thing is happening in Portugal and parts of Spain.

“Be the contrarian traveler,” Kepnes says. “If you want to go to Europe, consider eastern or central Europe, where prices are generally cheaper,” he says. He recommends going during the “shoulder season” — late spring or early fall — rather than in the peak summer season.

When to book a flight Demand for travel is so strong that most airlines don’t have to cut prices to sell seats. “The summer fares are still very expensive,” says George Hobica, founder of travel website airfarewatchdog.com. But airlines might cut prices this spring if the strong dollar discourages Europeans and Asians from flying to and from the U.S.

Consider all the options Hobica recommends checking foreign airlines. He says Etihad, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and others sometimes offer better prices to Europe than U.S. carriers do, although they could include a distant stopover.
