Obama administration seeks 40 percent cut in greenhouse gas

T

he White House on Wednesday announced plans to cut methane emissions dramatically in the next decade, an effort likely to impact oil-, gas- and coal-producing regions in northwestern and southeastern New Mexico.

Methane, like carbon dioxide, is a powerful greenhouse gas linked to climate change because it traps heat near the Earth. It is a primary component of natural gas, of which New Mexico is a top producer. Methane is released during natural gas production, oil processing and coal mining operations.

Methane regulations would join several other federal efforts being developed under the federal Clean Air Act to address climate change, such as a bid to reduce carbon emissions from power plants.

New Mexico already has the largest concentration of methane in the United States, a 2,500-square-mile hot spot in the Four Corners area that’s visible from space. That methane cloud is likely due to emissions from two coal mines, coal-fired power generating plants and thousands of natural gas wells in the area.

The Obama administration will seek at least a 40 percent reduction in methane emissions nationwide in the next decade by requiring federal agencies to craft new rules for existing wells

Amendments tied to funding bill for Homeland Security

By Erica Werner The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Shunning a White House veto threat and opposition within their own party, House Republicans approved legislation Wednesday to overturn President Barack Obama’s key immigration policies and expose hundreds of thousands of younger immigrants to expulsion from the U.S. The 236-191 vote came on a broad bill that would provide $39.7 billion to finance the Homeland Security Department through the rest of the budget year, legislation that

as well as new oil and gas development. The amount of natural gas saved by fixing pipeline leaks and other measures would be enough to power more than 2 million homes a year, according to the White House.

“This announcement is a very big deal,” said Thomas Singer of Santa Fe, senior policy adviser for the Western Environmental Law Center.

Singer said it is important for any methane rules to apply to both new and existing oil and natural gas development. He said some companies already are using technology to capture and reuse methane, which is a valuable resource.

“Setting a standard for how that should be done will level the playing field,” he said.

Democrats accused Republicans of putting that money at risk by attaching veto-bait amendments on immigration, and some Republicans voiced the same concern. But House GOP leaders and most of their rank and file accused Obama in turn of reckless and unconstitutional actions on immigration that had to be answered.

“This executive overreach is an affront to the rule of law and to the Constitution itself,” said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.

According to a new report, New Mexico tax policy is moving in the wrong direction, as a reduction in corporate taxes coupled with increases in gross receipts taxes is putting a greater share of the burden of financing public services on working families.

The report, “Who Pays,” released Wednesday by the Taxation and Economic Policy Institute, ranks New Mexico in the upper third of states for tax inequality, meaning a larger share of the tax burden falls on lower-income households. New Mexico was ranked 17th for tax unfairness, which means 33 states have a more equitable mix of taxes.

The study looked not only at the personal and corporate income tax rates but also at revenue from property, sales and excise taxes.

Specifically, when all taxes are taken into consideration, New Mexicans with incomes below $17,000 a year pay a tax rate of nearly 11 percent, while those earning more than $330,000 pay less than 5 percent.

The numbers are not unusual in states such as New Mexico that have a statewide tax on sales or gross receipts. Lower and middle-income families spend a

Officials: WIPP recovery months behind Progress toward reopening the nation’s only below-ground repository for Cold War-era nuclear waste after it was shut down last February due to a radiation leak is already months behind schedule, federal Department of Energy officials told a small group in Carlsbad on Wednesday.

News of the delay follows a federal report released this week that’s highly critical of Los Alamos National Laboratory for mishandling of waste that led to the radiation release and Waste Isolation Pilot Plant shutdown, which stranded thousands of barrels of nuclear waste at national labs throughout the nation.

“As a direct result of the waste incident, the nation’s only transuranic waste repository has suspended inbound shipments, adversely affecting all facilities that generate these wastes nationally, incurring large costs that cannot yet be accurately computed, and degrading an important regulatory relationship,” said the National Nuclear Security Administration’s annual evaluation of the lab.

An Arizona nonprofit brought in by Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration following a 2013 shake-up of behavioral health programs gave notice this week that it will stop serving indigent patients in southeastern New Mexico.

Turquoise Health and Wellness, which offers mental health services to Medicaid patients in Carlsbad, Roswell, Clovis and Tucumcari, will shut down March 31, casting a new shadow of uncertainty over programs and their patients still reeling from the turmoil of the 2013 overhaul.

In brief WASHINGTON — Federal regulators have approved an appetite-suppressing implant designed to treat obesity by zapping nerves that connect the stomach and the brain.

The Maestro Rechargeable System uses electrodes implanted in the abdomen to stimulate the vagus nerve, which signals to the brain that the stomach is empty or full.

Patients and doctors can adjust the device settings using external controllers.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the device for patients 18 and older who have been unable to lose weight via other methods and have a body mass index of 35 to 40 with one other obesity-related health condition, such as diabetes.

KAMPALA, Uganda — The U.S. Embassy in Uganda says U.S. Special Forces in Obo, Central African Republic, have handed over a Lord’s Resistance Army commander who is charged with war crimes to Ugandan troops.

U.S. Embassy spokesman Daniel Travis confirmed the handover of Dominic Ongwen, who had been held by American troops since Jan. 6. Travis said it was “a major step forward” securing the future of LRA-affected areas of East and Central Africa.

Ugandan army spokesman Lt. Col Ankunda said Uganda will transfer the rebel commander to Central African Republic authorities for transfer to The Hague, Netherlands, for trial of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court.

Astronauts back in U.S. side of space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The astronauts are back in the American side of the International Space Station.

Early Wednesday, the crew fled to the Russian segment after an alarm indicated a possible toxic leak. But NASA later said there was no leak of the ammonia coolant and a computer problem likely set off the false alarm. By Wednesday afternoon, the astronauts had returned to the U.S. side.

10 killed when prison bus skids off Texas overpass DALLAS — Two corrections officers and eight prisoners were killed on Wednesday when a prison bus skidded off an icy highway overpass in West Texas, slid down an embankment and collided with a train, officials said.

The bus was carrying inmates from an intake facility in Abilene to a state jail in El Paso when the crash occurred on Interstate 20 west of Odessa, said Brad Livingston, executive director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

The prisoners, all male, were handcuffed together in pairs, Jason Clark, a spokesman for the criminal justice department, said.

The Union Pacific train was carrying freight and came to a stop shortly after being struck.

Its crew of two — an engineer and a conductor — were not injured.

None of the cars derailed, but two containers near the back of the train were damaged, Mark Davis, a railroad spokesman, said.

2 men reach top of Yosemite’s El Capitan in historic climb

By Kristin J. Bender and Scott Smith The Associated Press

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. pair of Americans completed what had long been considered the world’s most difficult rock climb Wednesday, using only their hands and feet to scale a 3,000-foot vertical wall on El Capitan, the forbidding granite pedestal in Yosemite National Park that has beckoned adventurers for more than half a century.

Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson became the first to free-climb the rock formation’s Dawn Wall, a feat that many had considered impossible.

They used ropes and safety harnesses to catch themselves in case of a fall, but relied entirely on their own strength and dexterity to ascend by grasping cracks as thin as razor blades and as small as dimes.

The effort took 19 days as the two dealt with constant falls and injuries. But their success completes a yearslong dream that bordered on obsession for the men.

Caldwell was the first to finish Wednesday afternoon. He waited on a ledge for Jorgeson, who caught up minutes later. The two embraced before Jorgeson pumped his arms in the air and clapped his hands above his head. Then they sat down for a few moments, gathered their gear, changed clothes and hiked to the nearby summit.

About 200 people were waiting for them, including Caldwell’s wife and Jorgeson’s girlfriend, who welcomed them to the top with hugs and kisses. It will take the pair two to three hours to hike down the mountain.

In the meadow far below, another crowd broke into cheers. Relatives of the men watched on telescopic monitors.

President Barack Obama sent his congratulations from the White House Twitter account, saying the men “remind us that anything is possible.”

The trek up the world’s largest granite monolith began Dec. 27. Caldwell and Jorgeson lived on the wall itself, eating and sleeping in tents fastened to the rock thousands of feet above the ground and battling painful cuts to their fingertips much of the way.

Free-climbers do not pull themselves up with cables or use chisels to carve out handholds.

Instead, they climb inch by inch, wedging their fingers and feet into tiny crevices or gripping sharp, thin projections of rock. In photographs,

the two appeared at times like Spider-Man, with arms and legs splayed across the pale stone that has been described as smooth as a bedroom wall.

Both men needed to take rest days to heal.

They used tape and even superglue to help protect their raw skin. At one point, Caldwell set an alarm to wake him every few hours to apply a special lotion to his throbbing hands.

Caldwell, 36, and Jorgeson, 30, had help from a team of supporters who brought food and supplies and shot video of the adventure.

The pair ate canned peaches and occasionally sipped whiskey. They watched their urine evaporate into the thin, dry air and handed toilet sacks, called “wag bags,” to helpers who disposed of them.

There are about 100 routes up the rock known among climbers as “El Cap,” and many have made it to the top, the first in 1958. Even the Dawn Wall had been scaled. Warren Harding and Dean Caldwell (no relation to Tommy) made it up in 1970, using climbing ropes and countless rivets over 27 days.

No one, however, had ever made it to the summit in one continuous free-climb — until now.

The pioneering ascent comes after five years of training and failed attempts for both men.

On this try, as the world watched and followed on Facebook and Twitter, Jorgeson was stalled in a lower section that took 11 attempts over seven days. “As disappointing as this is, I’m learning new levels of patience, perseverance and desire,” Jorgeson posted online. “I’m not giving up. I will rest. I will try again. I will succeed.”

Caldwell, of Estes Park, Colo., is no stranger to El Cap. He has free-climbed 11 different routes and was the first to make such ascents of the Dihedral Wall and West Buttress. He was the third to free-climb the Nose on El Cap. He also made his way up a challenging El Capitan route in fewer than 24 hours, only months after accidentally severing his left index finger with a table saw in 2001.

Jorgeson, of Santa Rosa, Calif., has an impressive list of climbs in the U.S., Europe and South Africa. He works as a climbing instructor and cofounded an advocacy group for climbers.

John Long, the first person to climb up El Capitan in one day in 1975, said it was almost inconceivable that anyone could do something as “continuously difficult” as Caldwell and Jorgeson’s free-climb.

LA POSADA DE SANTA

WASHINGTON — Filing a federal tax return is about to get more complicated for millions of families because of President Barack Obama’s health law.

But they shouldn’t expect much help from the Internal Revenue Service.

Got a question for the IRS? Good luck reaching someone by phone.

The tax agency says only half of the 100 million people expected to call this year will be able to reach a person.

Callers who do get through may have to wait on hold for 30 minutes or more to talk to someone who will answer only the simplest questions.

“Taxpayers who need help are not getting it, and tax compliance is likely to suffer over the longer term if these problems are not quickly and decisively addressed,” said a report Wednesday by agency watchdog Nina E. Olson.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen says budget cuts are forcing the agency to reduce taxpayer services and other functions.

The number of audits will decline, technology upgrades will be delayed and the agency might be forced to shut down and furlough workers for two days later this year, Koskinen said.

The IRS will no longer help low-income taxpayers fill out their returns, and tax refunds could be delayed for people who file paper returns.

“It couldn’t be worse timing,” Koskinen said of the budget cuts.

Congress cut the IRS by $346 million for the budget year that ends Sept. 30.

Koskinen says the agency’s $10.9 billion budget is its lowest since 2008. When adjusted for inflation, the budget hasn’t been this low since 1998, he said.

Service problems at the IRS will also make it harder for well-intentioned taxpayers to comply with the law, said Olson, who is the National Taxpayer Advocate, an independent office within the IRS. “Without adequate support, many taxpayers will be frustrated, some will make potentially costly mistakes, others will incur higher compliance costs when forced to seek information and assistance from tax professionals,” she said.

“Still others,” Olson said, “will simply give up and not file.”

Koskinen said the IRS has increased efforts to educate tax preparers and the public about the tax implications of the health law, devoting a section of the agency’s website to answering questions.

Koskinen’s advice to taxpayers with questions: Don’t call the IRS unless you absolutely have to.

France cracks down on hate speech As ‘Charlie Hebdo’ returns to newsstands, French turn focus to social media sites

IS losing ground in Kobani battle Credit given to air campaign, Kurdish peshmerga fighters

By Bassem Mroue The Associated Press

BEIRUT — With more than a thousand militants killed and territory slipping away, the Islamic State group is losing its grip on the Syrian border town of Kobani under intense U.S.led airstrikes and astonishingly stiff resistance by Kurdish fighters.

It is a stunning reversal for the Islamic State group, which just months ago stood poised to conquer the entire town — and could pierce a carefully crafted image of military strength that helped attract foreign fighters and spread horror across the Middle East.

“An [Islamic State group] defeat in Kobani would quite visibly undermine the perception of unstoppable momentum and inevitable victory that [the Islamic State group ] managed to project, particularly after it captured Mosul,” said Faysal Itani, a fellow at the Atlantic Council, referring to the militants’ seizure of Iraq’s second-largest city during its blitz into Iraq from Syria last summer.

It would also rob the group of a “psychological edge that both facilitated recruitment and intimidated actual and potential rivals, as well as the populations the [Islamic State group] controlled,” Itani said.

In September, Islamic State fighters began capturing some 300 Kurdish villages near Kobani and thrust into the town itself, occupying nearly half of it. Tens of thousands of refugees spilled across the border into Turkey.

By October, Islamic State control of Kobani was so widespread that it even made a propaganda video from the town featuring a captive British photojournalist, John Cantlie, to convey its message that Islamic State fighters had pushed deep inside despite U.S.-led airstrikes.

The town, whose capture would give the jihadi group control of a border crossing

with Turkey and open direct lines between its positions along the border, quickly became a centerpiece of the U.S.-led air campaign in Syria.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry declared it would be “morally very difficult” not to help Kobani.

The U.S.-led air assault began Sept. 23, with Kobani the target of about a half-dozen airstrikes on average each day, and often more. More than 80 percent of all coalition airstrikes in Syria have been in or around the town.

Analysts, as well as Syrian and Kurdish activists, credit the air campaign and the arrival of heavily armed Kurdish peshmerga fighters from Iraq, who neutralized the Islamic State group’s artillery advantage, for bringing key areas of Kobani under Kurdish control.

“The U.S.-led coalition airstrikes turned the balance. …

Without airstrikes, most likely the city would have been much more difficult to defend,” said Wladimir van Wilgenburg, an expert on Kurdish politics who writes for The Jamestown Foundation, a U.S.-based research center. “The peshmerga did play a role, but it was mostly the airstrikes.”

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, estimates the Kurds now control roughly 80 percent of Kobani.

Since mid-September, the battle has killed some 1,600 people, including 1,075 Islamic State group members, 459 Kurdish fighters and 32 civilians, according to the Observatory.

“Kobani is on the verge of being free of the Islamic State group,” Abdurrahman said.

The militant group’s “death toll is very high and they are not able to advance.”

That doesn’t mean the Islamic State group is leaving without a fight.

The extremists have carried out more than 35 suicide attacks in Kobani in recent weeks, Abdurrahman and other activists said. And it is not clear how long the battle for Kobani might last.

At a meeting of interior ministers in Paris on Sunday, Cazeneuve told a French radio station that senior law enforcement officials, including Americans, were in favor of establishing “close contact with Twitter, Google and other operators to say to them: Look out, there is a problem. You must mobilize with us.”

His remarks reflected an increasingly tense confrontation between governments seeking easier access to data as part of

Al-Qaida in Yemen claims responsibility for attack

By Rukmini Callimachi and Eric Schmitt The New York Times

PARIS — Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen formally claimed responsibility Wednesday for the deadly assault a week ago at a French satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, that killed 12 people, saying that the target was chosen by al-Qaida leadership and referring to attackers as “two heroes of Islam.”

If the claim of direct responsibility holds up, it would make the attacks in France the most

deadly strike planned and financed by al-Qaida on Western soil since the transit bombings in London in 2005 that killed 52 people.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence in the United States said it had determined that the video clip making the claim of responsibility was genuine.

Along with the video from al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which featured one of the group’s leaders, a statement was sent to reporters, bearing the

insignia of the group’s publication arm, Al Malahem Media.

The statement indicated that the attack on Charlie Hebdo was in response to the publication’s frequent caricatures lampooning the Prophet Muhammad.

Two brothers, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, both French citizens, were accused of the assault on Charlie Hebdo, and said even as they left the scene of the attack that they were acting on behalf of the al-Qaida branch. A day later, a third gunman, identified as Amedy Coulibaly, attacked

PARIS — The French authorities moved Wednesday to reinforce a clampdown on hate speech and anti-Semitism, as the weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo returned defiantly to newsstands with a depiction of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover, just one week after Islamist gunmen slaughtered 12 people in an attack on its offices.

In some places, vendors reported that their allotment of the publication had sold out before daybreak, and demand was so intense that copies of the newspaper were being offered on eBay for hundreds of dollars. The magazine said it would have an initial press run of 3 million copies, but exact figures aren’t available. The frenzy drew a vivid backdrop to the sharpening debate between proponents of press freedom and defenders of religious proprieties.

The three-day onslaught last week has left the French authorities struggling to find ways to confront an unfamiliar form of terrorism, by lone militants or groups that are difficult to detect.

Thousands of troops and police officers have been deployed on the streets, but the authorities also are trying to move against what the prime minister, Manuel Valls, called social media sites that are “more than ever used for indoctrination” of militants who use the Internet to acquire “techniques

counterterrorism campaigns, and technology giants prepared to use increasing levels of encryption to avoid the perception that they act as agents of official intelligencegathering.

In an official circular to prosecutors Wednesday, meanwhile, the French Justice Ministry laid out plans for a crackdown on what it described as an increase in attacks against places of worship; abuse on the grounds of religion; violence or threats against security forces; racist, anti-Semitic or discriminatory speech; and the glorification of terrorism.

Prosecutors should guarantee “a systematic criminal response” to such offenses, especially those committed in prison, it said.

As part of the same broad response to the attacks, 54 people are under investigation related to charges of glorifying terrorism and terrorism threats, according to Pierre Rancé, a spokesman for the Justice Ministry. Thirty-seven people are suspected of glorifying terrorism, with the rest described as people who have threatened to carry out terrorist acts.

The office of the Paris prosecutor, meanwhile, said separately Wednesday that a highly provocative French comedian, Dieudonné M’bala M’bala, had been detained as an “apologist for terrorism” because of a comment on Facebook about one of the attackers in Paris.

The publication of the new issue of the satirical weekly has spurred heated debate about the limits of free speech. Many Muslims say that depictions of the prophet, even in reverence, are sacrilegious.

a police officer and the next day took hostages at a kosher supermarket in Paris. All three attackers were shot to death by the police Friday.

The statement by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula called the Kouachi brothers “two heroes of Islam,” but it referred to the actions of their accomplice, Coulibaly, as a coincidence and did not take responsibility for them. In a video released after his death, Coulibaly said he was a supporter of the Islamic State, a rival to al-Qaida.

Conservatives dismissive of Bush, Romney for 2016

By Robert Costa The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Conservative leaders this week shrugged off the sudden moves by Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney toward 2016 presidential campaigns, saying the two establishment-friendly candidates are too far out of touch with grass-roots activists to win the Republican nomination.

At the same time, potential candidates with close ties to the party’s conservative base have moved to speed up their own efforts in response.

Senior advisers to several of the potential conservative candidates said Wednesday that GOP insurgents will have to do more in 2016 than they did in previous cycles to make a serious run for the Republican nomination.

Building a campaign nest egg and winning the support of mega-donors to

fill the coffers of allied super PACs has become a particular priority.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a populist conservative who won 11 primaries and caucuses in his 2012 presidential campaign, called his top donors and advisers Wednesday to join him in Scottsdale, Ariz., this weekend to plan his likely 2016 bid.

Foster Friess, a wealthy conservative whose funds propelled Santorum’s last campaign, will host the gathering. Santorum associates said Friess would make a presentation about the need for the hard-charging former lawmaker to expand his financial operation.

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee — who has also won the Iowa Republican caucuses — has been busy calling evangelical leaders and conservative donors and ready-

ing a tour to promote his soon-to-bepublished book, God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy.

Other possible conservative candidates, such as Maryland neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, and Govs.

Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Rick Perry of Texas are hiring staff, building their fundraising shops and scheduling visits to early-primary states — all with the intent of gaining early attention and organizational strength in a race that may demand both.

Carson and Walker are scheduled to speak Thursday at a Republican National Committee meeting in San Diego, while Perry will take the same stage Friday. Romney will address the officials Friday evening.

“Our goal is to fight Chris Christie and Rand Paul and whoever the whole

way,” said Terry Giles, Carson’s chief political aide. “We’re already installing ground forces and raising significant money so we can ride what we think will be an anti-establishment groundswell.”

Brent Bozell, head of the conservative group ForAmerica, said a BushRomney fight would be good for the party. “I’m just going out to buy popcorn and watch,” he said. “It’s going to be the first time in a long time where you’ll see multiple candidates fighting over the moderate standard of the party, instead of only seeing the conservatives battle each other.”

Sarah Palin, the former 2008 vice presidential nominee who campaigned for Romney in 2012, said Wednesday on Inside Edition that “we need new energy. We need new blood.

We need new ideas.”

Out: No entity yet to take over for Turquoise Continued from Page A-1 nity obtained by The New Mexican.

Turquoise has begun notifying outpatients in its care about the shutdown, the second such message this fragile population has received in less than two years.

“They’re turning around and asking Turquoise, ‘What’s going to happen?’ ” Liz Lacouture of Presbyterian Healthcare Services said during the conference call Wednesday. “[Turquoise personnel] don’t have answers. That’s causing some panic.”

In mid-2013, the Martinez administration cut off Medicaid funds to 15 behavioral health providers in the state. An audit that led the New Mexico Human Services Department to accuse the agencies of more than $36 million in Medicaid billing fraud remains largely out of public view as the Attorney General’s Office investigates the allegations. To date, investigations by the Attorney General’s Office have cleared two of the ousted providers.

The state spent $24 million to help a group of five Arizona agencies set up shop in New Mexico to replace the terminated

providers. Turquoise alone received about $2.8 million during the second half of 2013.

Turquoise notified the New Mexico Human Services Department this week that its parent company in Phoenix, Lifewell Behavioral Wellness, will withdraw the administrative support it has been providing to Turquoise effective March 31, Wayne Lindstrom, director of the New Mexico Behavioral Health Collaborative, said in a phone interview Tuesday.

Lifewell will cease management of billing and other key administrative functions for Turquoise, creating a gap that Turquoise can’t fill on its own, given its tenuous financial footing. Even when Lifewell was taking on some of its administrative duties, Turquoise was showing signs of distress.

“Turquoise is currently not a financially viable organization on its own,” Turquoise reported in October to the Human Services Department and the managed care organizations that oversee behavioral health services in the state. Turquoise reported that it had lost $1.3 million during the first half of 2014 and maxed out a $3 million line of credit from Lifewell.

Lifewell and Turquoise officials did not respond to telephone messages this week seeking comment.

Some participants in Wednesday’s conference call wondered whether the rocky recent history of the state’s Medicaid behavioral health program will make it difficult to find a replacement for Turquoise. The call, led by the state’s managed care contractors, painted an uncertain picture of what will become of the program after Turquoise leaves.

“We don’t have an entity today that can take over these services,” Presbyterian’s Lacouture told participants in the call.

She said Presbyterian and other managed care organizations are working to find a replacement, but she doubts that services will be comparable to those Turquoise is providing.

One participant in the conference call suggested Turquoise might not be the last of the replacement providers from Arizona to pull out of New Mexico because of financial struggles. Lacouture confirmed that others could follow, saying, “We understand that we could be facing some of these situations in other communities in the future.”

larger percentage of their income on essentials such as clothing and health needs, so most of their economic activity is taxed.

Wealthier families might spend more on restaurants and nonessentials, but they also save a larger percentage of their money.

“The numbers are pretty telling,” said Gerry Bradley, senior researcher and policy analyst for the nonprofit New Mexico Voices for Children, based in Albuquerque. “We don’t tax food and medicine, which is positive. We do tax utility bills, water, gas and electric. Those are the big ones.”

And the state might be moving in the wrong direction, Bradley said, as more localities — including Las Cruces and Bernalillo County — increase their local gross receipts tax rate to offset loss of revenue from the

state as a result of an omnibus tax package enacted in 2013. The same measure, in an effort to attract more private-sector jobs, trimmed corporate taxes.

“Those who earn the lowest incomes should not be paying the largest percentage of their meager paychecks for the infrastructure that we all need and use,” Veronica C. García, executive director of New Mexico Voices for Children, which partnered with the Taxation and Economic Policy Institute on the release of the report, said in a statement.

Some lawmakers have been studying ways to make the gross receipts tax, or one like it, more equitable by eliminating most exceptions and then lowering the rate. One measure brought forward by Sen. Bill Sharer, a Farmington Republican, would eliminate or reduce income taxes by enacting a broadly

drafting methane emissions standards in cooperation with industry leaders, states, tribes and other stakeholders. u The Bureau of Land Management announced plans for the new methane rules in April and has held public meetings to seek comment on ways to control natural gas venting and flaring, primary causes of methane emissions. u The Department of Energy will continue funding efforts to develop new technology for identifying and reducing natural gas leaks.

The White House didn’t say how much the new methane regulations might cost the industry.

“There are significant, highly cost-effective opportunities for reducing methane emissions from this sector,” said Dan Utech, Obama’s climate and energy adviser. “We’re confident we can do this in a cost-effective way.”

Methane emissions from oil and gas development have dropped 16 percent since 1990, according to federal officials. But the increased drilling and production of oil and natural gas in recent years are expected to increase methane emissions now unless new controls are in place.

Continued from Page A-1

The Obama administration’s effort to address oil and gas methane emissions follows efforts last year to reduce methane emissions from dairy cow waste. Dairy producers are encouraged to install biogas digesters that capture methane off manure piles and turn it into electricity.

Methane also is naturally produced in places such as wetlands. But human activities account for about 60 percent of all methane emissions, according to the EPA. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

imposed consumption tax.

The lower rate, he told an interim committee last month, might eliminate the “dark economy” — all those who exchange goods and services to avoid taxes — as the risk of evasion would be higher than the reward.

That could even bring in more money to state and local governments than they receive with the current gross receipts tax.

“A 2 percent across-the-board total tax — I think we’d find a lot more money in that,” Sharer said last month. “But I won’t say that out loud.”

Methane: Hot spot over Four Corners area Continued from Page A-1

WIPP: Report highly critical of Los Alamos lab omy, there is a very high likelihood that the government will ultimately be responsible for significant fines and penalties.”

On Feb. 14, 2014, a drum of waste from Los Alamos ruptured in a WIPP underground storage area, spewing radioactive contamination inside the ancient salt chamber and beyond the repository, which was designed to never leak. More than 20 workers were exposed to doses of radioactive materials that the Energy Department has characterized as below hazardous levels. Waste shipments to WIPP ceased and have not resumed.

Closing a bunker near where the LANL drum burst was the first job described in the Energy Department’s recovery plan for WIPP, released in late September.

That task was expected to be complete by Dec. 31, but now the work isn’t expected to be done until April.

“It’s more of a problem than they thought it would be because there’s a significant amount of contamination in the area,” Don Hancock, who closely monitors WIPP for the Southwest Information and Research Center, said after Wednesday’s meeting. “They’re behind schedule on that, and they’re going to remain behind schedule.”

At Wednesday’s meeting, the Energy Department and Nuclear Waste Partnership, the private contractor that is paid more than $150 million a year to manage the site, presented a report that showed WIPP is not expected to resume all activities until at least mid-2018.

The recovery plan calls for replacement of WIPP’s ventilation system and exhaust shaft, which were contaminated during the radiation leak. For the first time Wednesday, WIPP officials acknowledged they are pondering whether the new components are necessary, because skipping their replacement would speed up the repository’s reopening, Hancock said.

“That would mean they need to use the existing contaminated ventilation shaft forever,” he said.

The Energy Department estimated in the recovery plan that it would cost $550 million to repair WIPP if the ventilation system and exhaust shaft are replaced.

However, the National Nuclear Security Administration’s evaluation of LANL’s performance last year suggests untold costs could result from LANL’s missteps.

The Energy Department is contesting more than $36 million in fines against LANL’s permit and $17 million against WIPP proposed by the New Mexico Environment Department in connection with the radiation leak and a truck fire at WIPP that occurred just days earlier. Additionally, the Energy Department denied Los Alamos National Security, the private consortium that manages the lab, two years’ worth of $2.2 billion annual contracts and awarded the contractor just $6.25 million of a potential $63 million in performance incentives for the fiscal year that included the leak at WIPP. In addition to the waste handling problems associated with the WIPP leak, federal evaluators cited incomplete construction projects and ethical lapses as the reasons they denied LANS millions of dollars in incentive pay, according to the newly released report by the National Nuclear Security Administration. The report lacked specificity about the ethical lapses it was referencing. But in March, the lab’s deputy director, Beth Sellers, resigned over a conflict of interest. Her husband received a consulting contract from the lab in 2012. She failed to disclose the potential conflict until months after the contract award.

host in Iowa, also said the GOP base must eventually unite behind a single conservative candidate.

“Some conservatives think Romney is self-delusional, but that doesn’t mean we should sit back,” Deace said.

“Are we going to split our vote again?

It’s time for us to find someone and say, ‘This is our son with whom we are well pleased.’ “ Not all on the right are ready to rule out backing Bush or Romney. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, an immigration hardliner, said Wednesday that he has invited Romney to speak later this month at a conservative gathering in Des Moines, and he urged activists to give the former nominee a fair hearing.

“He may not be able to come to our event because of scheduling conflicts, but he knows the door is open and we made sure we rang the doorbell,” King said.

House: Amendment to end policy on ‘Dreamers’ passes narrowly Continued from Page A-1 approved 237-190, would undo executive actions that Obama announced in November to provide temporary deportation relief and work permits to some 4 million immigrants in the country illegally, mostly people who have children who are citizens or legal permanent residents. The amendment also would cancel earlier directives to immigration agents aimed at giving them discretion in focusing deportations on criminals.

A second amendment would delete Obama’s 2012 policy that’s granted work permits and stays of deportation to more than 600,000 immigrants who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children under age 16. That measure passed narrowly, 218-209, as 26 of the more moderate Republicans, some repre-

senting large Hispanic populations, joined Democrats in opposition.

The underlying bill passed on a mostly party line vote, with 10 Republicans voting “no” and two Democrats voting “yes.”

But even with Republicans in control of the Senate, the bill faces tough sledding there. Republicans are six votes shy of the 60-vote majority needed to advance most legislation, and some GOP senators have argued that the Homeland Security bill shouldn’t be the vehicle for a contentious debate on immigration.

Within the House GOP, too, there’s frustration from some centrist lawmakers that two weeks into a new session of Congress, with a bigger party majority in the House, the most conservative lawmakers are still calling

the shots, successfully pushing leaders for a vote to undo the 2012 policy dealing with younger immigrants known as “Dreamers.”

“If we were just specifically dealing with the November overreach of the president, you’d have Democrats who’d be voting with us on that piece of it, but we’ve gone well beyond that,” said Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif. “We’re passing a bill for political reasons, a bill that has no ability to pass the Senate.”

Given the growing importance of Latino voters, Wednesday’s immigration votes could end up raising questions in the 2016 presidential election for the eventual GOP nominee. Potential candidates weren’t touching the issue Wednesday. Requests for comments from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former GOP nominee Mitt

Romney went unanswered. At an event in Manchester, N.H., Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky refused to say if he would back his House colleagues’ efforts.

Democrats, on the other hand, were eager to weigh in.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois warned Republicans they were igniting “the mobilization of an immigrant community throughout this nation that will be the death knell to the future of your party.”

Wednesday’s votes were set in motion late last year, after Obama infuriated Republicans by announcing executive moves on immigration not long after the GOP swept the midterm elections. Republicans passed full-year spending bills for most of the government but kept the Homeland Security Department on a short leash in order

to revisit the issue when they would be in full control of Congress.

Yet given Obama’s veto pen and Senate rules granting significant rights to the minority party, it’s not clear that the GOP has much more leverage now than it did before. House and Senate Republican leaders have ruled out a government shutdown or any disruption to Homeland Security funding, so it appears likely that once the House bill is rejected by the Senate or vetoed by the president, the House will have to accept a version with less contentious language on immigration.

Current Homeland Security funding expires at the end of February, so House leaders have given themselves more than a month to find a solution.

It’s expected to be a topic of debate at the Hershey retreat.

Measure alters rule limiting banks’ high-risk trading

By Marcy Gordon The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Propelled by its enlarged Republican majority, the House has moved to ease a landmark law reining in banks and Wall Street, more than six years after a financial crisis brought on the Great Recession.

The vote was 271-154 on legislation that advanced a key priority of the Republicans. Approval of the bill came swiftly in the second week of the new Congress despite a veto threat from the Obama White House. The measure now goes to the Senate, where it will face strong opposition from liberal Democrats such as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

The legislation in the House bypassed the customary slog of committee work and revisions.

It probably won’t move through the Senate as quickly. While the Republicans now control the Senate as a result of November’s elections, GOP senators would be more likely to work on compromises with their Democratic colleagues and to put the legislation through a process of hearings and debate.

In the House, 29 of 188 Democrats joined the near-unanimous 242 Republicans to vote for the measure.

The bill alters sections of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul. That law had tightened government oversight of banks and financial markets with an eye toward preventing another crisis and another taxpayer bailout of banks. At the height of the financial crisis in late 2008, the government stepped in to rescue crippled banks — including the largest Wall Street institutions — with hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money.

Most notably, the measure passed Wednesday would give U.S. banks two extra years — until 2019 — to ensure that their holdings of certain complex and risky securities don’t put them out of compliance with a new banking rule.

Some Senate Democrats began raising objections Wednesday as the House acted.

Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, the new senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, called the bill “another attempt

by House Republicans to advance Wall Street’s interests at the expense of the American people.”

“Rolling back protections that safeguard against practices that nearly crippled our economy creates unnecessary risks for taxpayers and investors,” Brown said in a statement. He will work with Banking Committee Chairman Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., on legislation related to banking and financial regulation. Warren also is a member of that panel.

Republican proponents insisted the new legislation would reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses and spur creation of new jobs.

The business lobby was heartened by the House action and already looking toward additional changes in the Dodd-Frank law. In a speech, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue cited the Financial Stability Oversight Council and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — two federal bodies created by the 2010 law — as needing changes and curbs to their authority.

“We’re not out to repeal Dodd-Frank. What we’re interested in doing is making technical changes” to it, Donohue said in response to questions.

The House bill revises the so-called Volcker rule, a key part of the financial overhaul law, which would limit banks’ riskiest trading bets. That kind of risk-taking on Wall Street helped trigger the 2008 crisis.

Republicans in the House have been trying for years to chip away at the Dodd-Frank law, which Congress enacted with mostly Democratic support to tighten regulation.

SFPS seeks renewal of tax for maintenance funds Voting underway for levy that provides district about $9 million a year

ON THE WEB

The New Mexican

u To learn more about Santa Fe Public Schools’ 1.5-mill levy request — also known as HB33 funding, after state legislation that allows school districts to seek the facilities maintence tax — visit www.sfps.info.

As early voting gets underway this week for Santa Fe Public Schools’ Feb. 3 election, district officials are reaching out to community groups in an effort to build support for renewal of a 1.5-mill property tax that provides about $9 million a year to maintain school facilities.

The tax question, which will appear on voters’ ballots, comes at a sensitive time for the district. Property own-

ers recently expressed anger over the board’s decision nearly a year ago to impose a separate tax to raise $55 million over five years for technological improvements in the schools.

Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd said Monday that the funds fill a “critical need” for the district when it comes to repairing its 30-some facilities, and that if voters

do not approve the tax, the district will have to pull that money from its operating budget, which could impact classrooms.

Richard Ellenberg, head of the Upper Canyon Neighborhood Association, said district officials gave a presentation on the mill levy to the group Monday night. “They seem to be aggressively going out to groups to publicize it,” he said.

Though attendees were initially skeptical of the pitch, he said once the district explained that the tax will continue the maintenance funding stream that has been going on for years, most voters were swayed. “There may be a little bit of opposition, but not a groundswell,” he said.

School board member Glenn Wikle said the funds are “the least controversial of all the capital property tax sources of money. … In the past, they have mostly been used for building maintenance — redoing roofs and all kinds of safety concerns that need to be addressed.”

But, he said, it is possible that some voters will not support the tax renewal this year because of the board’s approval last year of an Education Technology Note of $11 million per year for five years. That action, which did not require voter approval, was well publicized at the time, but property owners didn’t weigh in on the tax increase until it appeared on their bills in the fall. At that time, complaints

Secret talk on shelter disclosed

City Council says firm offered $505,949 to purchase building

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Amid allegations that it had violated the state Open Meetings Act, the City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to waive attorney-client privilege and publicly disclose the basis of its closed-door legal session last month on the Interfaith Community Shelter for the homeless.

However, the council did not disclose the substance of the secret discussions.

The agenda for the council’s Dec. 10 executive session stated that councilors would discuss “the purchase, acquisition or disposal of real property.” The agenda didn’t include an address of the property that was being discussed. When it was revealed that the property in question was the city-owned homeless shelter on Cerrillos Road, councilors were criticized for lack of transparency, and the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government alleged a violation of the Open Meetings Act, saying the city had failed to properly list the item on the agenda.

City Attorney Kelley Brennan said in public Wednesday that a Nov. 17 offer to purchase the cityowned property at 2801 Cerrillos Road was the basis for going into executive session. The Skarsgard Firm P.C. of Albuquerque had offered to pay $23 per square foot, or $505,949, which is about half of what the city had paid for the property and investments in the building several years ago.

Brennan said she also had requested clarification on the term of an extension of Interfaith’s lease, which she said is a disposition of real estate. In November, the council voted to renew the shelter’s lease for “not less than two years.”

“The motion had been ‘not less than two years,’ which was not something that I could put in a lease form, and I wanted to clarify whether the council wanted two or three years,” Brennan said.

poured into the district.

Current state law mandates that school boards decide on the technology note without putting it to a public vote. Based on voter feedback, the district is seeking to introduce legislation in the upcoming session that would allow voters to decide on the tech tax in the future.

The tax for school facilities maintenance requires voters’ approval every six years. District officials emphasized that it is a tax renewal, not an increase — it will not change a homeowner’s property tax unless the property valuation increases, a point confirmed by Santa Fe County Treasurer Patrick

Police: Slain man fired gun, had stolen gear Protesters decry new officer shooting in Albuquerque

By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — A man shot and killed Tuesday by Albuquerque police was wearing sheriff-issued body armor and had fired a stolen gun at officers, police said Wednesday.

John Edward Okeefe, 34, died after a shootout with two officers in the Albuquerque Police Department’s first fatal shooting of 2015.

The incident, which reignited protests of the city police department and prompted calls for Police Chief Gorden Eden to step down, follows a string of shootings that have prompted public protests, federal scrutiny and even charges from a local prosecutor.

According to police, Okeefe had fled from officers who responded to a call about two suspicious men in an east-side neighborhood. Police said Okeefe then shot at an officer chasing him. That officer took

A man wearing a Halloween mask robbed a central Santa Fe grocery store at gunpoint Wednesday evening, Santa Fe police say.

Lt. Andrea Dobyns, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe Police Department, said no one was injured in the robbery at the Smith’s Food and Drug, 2110 S. Pacheco St., but the suspect did get away with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Dobyns said the robbery occurred at about 7:20 p.m. Wednesday. A man wearing what appeared to be a Halloween mask entered the grocery store and approached a register. Dobyns said the man verbally threatened a cashier and brandished a firearm. He only targeted one register before fleeing the store.

Dobyns said he then left the area in a silver Toyota Corolla.

Dobyns said investigators know at least one person participated in the robbery, and another individual may have been waiting in the car. The grocery store’s surveillance system recorded the incident, but the footage was unavailable to police Wednesday night.

Author named Miller Scholar Santa Fe author Hampton Sides (“Ghost Soldiers,” “Blood and Thunder,” “Hellhound on His Trail” and “In the Kingdom of Ice”) has been named a Miller Scholar at the Santa Fe Institute, where he will be in residence for four months in the fall.

The award is given to “highly accomplished, creative thinkers who make profound contributions to our understandings of society, science and culture,” said a posting on the institute’s website.

While in residence, Miller Scholars are free to devote their time to any topic but are encouraged to interact and collaborate with resident and visiting scholars. Sides divides his time between Santa Fe and Colorado Springs, Colo., where he is journalist in residence at The Colorado College.

He is the fifth Miller Scholar. He was preceded by philosopher of science Daniel Dennett in 2010, quantum physicist Seth Lloyd, actor/playwright Sam Shepard and philosopher and author Rebecca Goldstein.

The only J.Crew clothing store in Santa Fe is closing Jan. 27.

The manager of the downtown store confirmed the closing Tuesday but referred further questions to the corporate office, which did not return a reporter’s telephone call.

The store is in Lincoln Place, 130 Lincoln Ave., a cluster of shops and galleries north of the Plaza. The complex, also known as the Old Sears Building, also houses Keller Williams Realty.

Chuck Higgins, who opened C.G. Higgins, a combination confectionery and coffee shop, in the complex last year, said J.Crew and Eileen Fisher, another boutique clothing store in Lincoln Place, help his business. “Everybody’s in the same building, and it helps,” he said. “A husband and wife would go to J.Crew or Eileen Fisher and maybe the husband says, “I’m going to have a cup of coffee.’ ” Higgins said one of the now-vacant spaces in the building will be occupied by a gallery that specializes in the consignment of Native American artwork.

City Council delays action on city-owned electric utility Measure goes back to city committee to let public comment on changes

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

The City Council on Wednesday postponed action on a resolution that calls for the city to explore with Santa Fe County the possibility of a jointly owned public electric utility.

The council voted 5-3 to send the resolution back to the city Finance

Committee, which next meets Jan. 20, and for the council to reconsider the matter as early as Jan. 28.

Mayor Javier Gonzales and Councilors Patti Bushee, Carmichael Dominguez, Signe Lindell and Ron Trujillo voted in support of the delay. Councilor Joseph Maestas, who sponsored the resolution, and co-sponsors Peter Ives and Chris Rivera, voted in opposition. City Councilor Bill Dimas was absent but has previously stated that the city has more pressing issues than creating its own electric utility.

Dominguez, who chairs the Finance Committee, made the motion to send

the resolution back to his committee because it had been amended from an earlier version. Maestas argued that the changes were consistent with what councilors had discussed at the committee level, but Dominguez said the changes were substantial enough that the public should have more notice of what is being proposed.

“If any of the public have been following the bill based on the previous caption, they may not be aware that the caption and the direction has changed,” Dominguez said. “Kicking it back to committee allows us to continue that discussion, maybe add

more to it or amend it, and potentially require more stakeholder input.”

The resolution is the latest in a series of attempts to move toward a public power supply that relies less on big coal-fired generating stations.

Meanwhile, Public Service Company of New Mexico is waging a public relations campaign against the push to create a government-owned utility to supply electrical power in Santa Fe. The campaign includes advertising on The New Mexican’s website that asks readers to register their opinions and join in resisting the push for a public utility. The ads steer viewers to

a website that PNM has been operating, powerforprogress.com, where the company has added a new section about the effort to create an electric utility in Santa Fe. PNM calls attempts to buy its local electricity distribution system and create a city-owned utility in Santa Fe “misguided.”

“Help us keep Santa Fe moving forward,” the website states. “Don’t let some Santa Fe officials take us backwards.”

M COMMENTARY: DANIEL GORDIS

Events in Paris cast shadows in Israel

T

he horrors that unfolded in Paris and its outskirts last week captivated Israel no less than any other Western country, but they have played differently in the Jewish state, which knows well what it is like to have cities turned into war zones. In Israel, chilling scenes like the blood-soaked floor of the Charlie Hebdo offices unfold far too often, as they did most recently in a Jerusalem synagogue.

The Charlie Hebdo attack and the hostage scene in the kosher market did more than evoke recent Israeli memories. Far more poignantly, they brought images of the Holocaust to Israelis’ minds. The image of frightened European Jews hiding in a freezer was for many Israelis a haunting reminder of Jews hiding from Nazis, as were images of parents holding young children and fleeing for their lives. (Israel’s press also went to great lengths to praise the young Muslim man who protected some of the patrons of the Hyper Cacher supermarket; Israeli newspapers plastered his photograph across their front pages.)

The massacre in the Charlie Hebdo offices had Holocaust echoes, too.

Georges Wolinski, the 80-year-old Charlie Hebdo cartoonist, was born to a Polish Jewish father who had fled to Tunisia to escape the Nazis. In 1936, Siegfried Wolinski was killed in Tunisia, and his family left for Paris. Georges, Siegfried’s son, was killed by Muslim extremists in Paris last week.

Such moments afford an ironic sense of confirmation for the Jewish State; modern political Zionism was born of a Jewish consensus that Europe was a

bloodbath just waiting to happen.

Even bitter political rivals such as Ze’ev Jabotinsky (father of Revisionist Zionism and mentor to Menachem Begin) and David Ben-Gurion (Israel’s first prime minster and a leader of Labor Zionism), who detested each other and disagreed about most everything, agreed that Jewish life in Europe was doomed and that the only answer was a state.

The events in Paris seemed to confirm again their prediction. The rate of Jewish immigration from France to Israel had already doubled to 7,000 in 2014, making France Israel’s largest source of immigrants. That rate is expected to rise to about 10,000 immigrants in 2015. In the aftermath of the attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel called for French Jews to come to Israel en masse, while France’s prime minister, Manuel Valls — apparently taking seriously the possibility of mass Jewish emigration — said if 100,000 French Jews were to depart, France would no longer be France. The burial of the four Jewish victims of the supermarket attack in Israel, and not in France, held symbolism that was lost on no one; in moments of crisis, Israel goes to great pains to remind the world that Jews have only one true home.

Whatever validation Israelis might have gleaned from the horrors, however, was short-lived. Although the image of Netanyahu walking arm-in-arm with other world leaders in Paris suggested an easing of Israel’s pariah status in France, a darker back-story soon emerged. The French had asked Netanyahu not to come because they did not wish to highlight the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during

the march. When he insisted on attending, Netanyahu was told that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (who is not technically a head of state) would be invited and would also be in the front row. Netanyahu and President Francois Hollande of France attended a ceremony in Paris’ Grand Synagogue after the march, but when Israel’s prime minister got up to speak, the French president walked out.

And even as hundreds of people were attending the funeral of one of the supermarket victims, Israel’s Foreign Ministry released a report predicting that Israel’s international standing would plummet further in 2015. Europe would extend its boycotts of Israeli products, the Foreign Ministry said, and after Israel’s elections, the U.S. might not use its veto in the UN’s General Assembly on Israel’s behalf.

A week that began with horrific images of Jewish vulnerability allowed Israelis to believe, however fleetingly, that the necessity of a Jewish state was obvious to all. By the end of the week, though, the press was calling Netanyahu’s visit to Paris a public-relations disaster, and even Israel’s government was predicting that Israel’s standing would only worsen. It was a week, some Israelis muttered, that demonstrated with regard to both Netanyahu and Europe that plus ça change plus c’est la même chose.

uch debate lately has focused on the location of the Interfaith Community Shelter — with the discussion even temporarily delaying a long-term lease for the midtown emergency facility. The presence of the shelter, open during the winter so that no one freezes to death on Santa Fe streets, is not sitting well with some neighbors along Cerrillos Road.

They argue midtown — at the old Pete’s Pets location — is the wrong place for a shelter, pointing out the very real issues of having homeless men and women wandering through their yards and businesses. Facility supporters focus more on the community’s responsibility to the less fortunate and to the reality that having a warm place to sleep means lives are saved. Both are right.

The conversation needs to change from where the shelter should be to how to best support homeless people while at the same time respecting their neighbors. People who live nearby don’t deserve to be vilified for being worried about safety of their children or their livelihoods.

That’s why news that meetings are scheduled between neighbors and city officials, as well as shelter representatives, is welcome. The first two meetings will be at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Jan. 22 at the barn in Frenchy’s Field Park. A third meeting is likely but has not been scheduled yet.

Even before the meetings, though, it’s clear that the city and shelter officials need to find a way to provide more services for homeless people during the day. The operation of the shelter is the chief reason for so many problems with neighbors. That’s no one’s fault; there is little money to do more. Currently, the shelter opens at 6 p.m., and homeless people need to be out early the next morning (some days, the shelter stays open even without adequate help, though).

Those hours mean about 100 people are let loose on cold mornings with nowhere to go. Not only is early morning one of the colder times of the day — hardly humane — it leads to loitering. People with little to do also leave behind needles, bottles and other trash; with no access to bathrooms, human waste is an issue. That’s not fair to nearby business owners.

Saying there’s no money is hardly a suitable answer.

Even bringing portable bathrooms to the area could improve the situation. That’s not a big cost. City crews can be directed to businesses along Cerrillos Road near the shelter to do a better job of picking up trash, especially on weekends. Of course, there will need to be more money — whether from the city budget or through some sort of private campaign — (led by the Santa Fe Community Foundation or religious leaders perhaps?) to address the issues.

But short-term, city staff can clean trash, provide bathrooms and find enough money to keep people safe a few more hours a day. That’s not just up to shelter operators.

Long term, Santa Fe needs to find money so that people with no roof over their head can stay warm on a winter’s day. The public library can’t be the only refuge for homeless people; that’s not fair to all library patrons. Eventually, the shelter might need a bigger site and another location.

For now, let’s concentrate on protecting neighbors and businesses and keeping vulnerable people safe. This winter, not later.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 15, 1915: That the list of dead is fully 30,000 and the injured 100,000 as the result of the frightful earthquake disaster in Italy is the tenor of early dispatches today. Rome has become one great hospital; earthquake shocks continue, adding to the panic of the people and supposedly dead craters, according to Naples advices, are showing signs of life and a volcanic eruption is feared. The scenes in the stricken villages as the rescue work proceeds under great difficulties are more appalling than anything on the battlefields of the Great War. Jan. 15, 1965: The State Peanut Commission created by the 1963 Legislature had receipts of $13,265.86 during its first year of operation, a state audit report released today showed. The fivemember commission of peanut producers in the Portales area was created to plan and conduct campaigns for education, advertising, publicity, sales promotion and research on New Mexico peanuts.

Jan. 15, 1990: Bombings in the South and random acts of violence and vandalism across the country have given rise to fears that a new wave of racially and ethnically motivated crime is sweeping the United States. But among those who closely monitor “hate crimes,” there is disagreement about whether racism is really resurgent.

he majority of electric utilities in the U.S. are public utilities: 61 percent (See: www.publicpower.org/ files/PDFs/USElectricUtilityIndustryStatistics.pdf). There is no reason Santa Fe cannot have one, too. That may be our fastest way off coal.

Investment banks from J.P. Morgan to Goldman Sachs have announced they’re pulling financing from coal operations.

The World Bank will no longer finance coal mines or power plants in developing countries. Tucson Electric Power turned down purchasing the San Juan coal mine.

Public Service Company of New Mexico needs to do the same. Even the pope is saying get off fossil fuels. It is a moral issue.

The public health problems, environmental impacts, climate instability, and human and civil rights offenses associated with coal mining, processing, burning, transporting and waste are no longer acceptable to a great many of the world’s institutions and peoples.

Create different show I am writing in regards to a recent article (“Gay advocates assail TV show,” Jan 8).

The gay rights group GLADD is opposing the showing of the TV show, My Husband’s Not Gay. The program tells the story of men who are attracted to men, but have chosen to marry women and live heterosexual lives. GLADD says this sends a wrong message to young people who are other than heterosexual. This could be true, but trying to silence those who do not share your opinion is seldom a good idea.

I know many gay and lesbian people who have married people of the opposite gender, and later decided to be true to themselves and are now living happily with people of their own gender. Would it not be better to create a program documenting these people’s lives, rather than trying to censor people with opposing views?

Missing traditions Another lovely holiday season has drawn to a close in Santa Fe, but … wait.

It does appear that the Grinch has left his mark. Was it he who hid that unique and lovely treasure, the Northern New Mexico Nativity that the Ballens, although Jewish, always displayed on the La Fonda roof?

Hoping to soothe my feelings of sad-

ness at this loss of a wonderful “only in Santa Fe” Christmas tradition, I headed for the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi to be soothed by its traditional, breathtaking 30-foot Christmas tree behind the altar, always tastefully decorated and what must be the most beautiful Nativity in the state with its realistic painted backdrop of Christmas Eve in Bethlehem. They were gone as well.

Christmas in Santa Fe is very much diminished by these losses. I can only hope the Grinch will see the error of his (her) ways and reinstate these wonderful Christmas traditions.

Service for taxpayers I wanted to check the gross receipts rate for the city of Santa Fe for the new year. Went to the website and the form wouldn’t open. Filled out the contact us form at www.tax.newmexico.gov/contactus.aspx on Dec. 31. No answer. Next I sent an email on Jan. 8. No answer. If I treated my customers like this, I would not have any. Is this the type of service our taxes pay for?

UNM MEN’S BASKETBALL UNM 60, AIR FORCE 48

Lobos use late surge to beat Falcons

UNM’s Sam Logwood hangs onto the rim after dunking the ball against Air Force’s Marek Olesinski during the first half of Wednesday’s game in Albuquerque.

By Will Webber The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — There’s a first time for everything, and for The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team, its venture into new territory came during Wednesday’s Mountain West Conference game in The Pit against Air Force.

Sitting in a zone defense from the opening tip to the final buzzer, the Lobos sprinkled in a little full-court press to pull away late in a 60-48 decision that was a lot closer than the final margin indicated.

As is usually the case against Air Force, it wasn’t pretty, as ball control and quality shots were at a premium.

It wasn’t until an 18-8 run to close the

ERIC DRAPER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

game that things seemed under control.

“Our guys went deer in the headlights,” said UNM head coach Craig Neal.

Freshman Sam Logwood finished with a career-high 17 points to go with three assists and three rebounds. And although he struggled by missing his final eight shot attempts, senior Hugh Greenwood had 11 points and a team-high seven rebounds and six assists.

Sitting the final stat sheet to the side as he began his postgame press conference, Neal lauded Greenwood’s play — particularly his effort in the waning moments as UNM turned a 42-40 lead with under six minutes to go into a double-digit win.

“I’ve never been around a kid like Hugh Greenwood that can just win a game by

himself, at the end with deflections and steals and making plays with his heart,” Neal said. “I just told my team, I said I hope that they watch him and I hope he rubs off on them.”

He played a big role in forcing three turnovers on the press; turnovers that derailed Air Force’s momentum down the stretch.

“We may have wore down a little bit with missing one or two guys in our rotation,” said Falcons head coach Dave Pilipovich, referring to the suspension of guard Matt Mooney for his involvement in a fight against Colorado State last weekend and an injury to leading scorer Max Yon that

PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL

A complete player Pecos’ Ida Valencia at top of her game in final year

By James Barron The New Mexican

PECOS lot can happen in between two trips to Texico.

When Ida Valencia first made that trip to face one of the state’s venerated girls basketball program — in the opening round of the Class AA State Tournament in March 2012, no less — with her Pecos Lady Panthers, the gravity of the situation was lost on the then-freshman.

They were, after all, facing the No. 1 team in AA and the eventual state champions.

“We were just excited that we were there for the first round of state,” said Valencia, now a grizzled senior veteran at Pecos. “We weren’t looking at the future. We were looking at what was ahead of us.”

Back then, there were years ahead for Valencia. When she made the same trip on Dec. 20 to face the Lady Wolverines, who are once again considered one of the top teams in what is now AAA, a bittersweet feeling hung in the air. The precocious underclassman was now seeing the end of her prep career coming with every bus ride and tip-off.

It was a moment she shared with fellow senior KeeAnna Trujillo, who also made that same trip with Valencia almost three years earlier.

“It was a little emotional for me, and I talked about it with KeeAnna,” Valencia said. “It was bittersweet because back then, we were playing in the first round of state. And now it’s three years later, and it’s a whole different ball game.”

Different because back then, expectations were high about the future of the program, what with Valencia and Trujillo primed to lead the way. Those expectations are finally being met, as the Lady Panthers are 9-3 on the season, winners of the program’s first Northern Rio Grande championship and the favorites in District 2AAA.

TONY GUTIERREZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The New York Jets stuck with defense. The San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders are giving it a try, too.

The Jets hired Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles as head coach Wednesday, the 49ers promoted longtime defensive line coach Jim Tomsula, and the Raiders turned to Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio. Denver, Atlanta and Chicago still have openings. On Wednesday, John Fox interviewed with Chicago, two days after parting ways with Denver.

The 49ers said Tomsula will be formally introduced Thursday at a news conference that comes after a more than twoweek search that ended right in house.

Tomsula replaces Jim Harbaugh, who parted ways with the 49ers on Dec. 28 in what the team called a “mutual decision.”

Harbaugh was introduced as Michigan’s coach two days later following a successful four-year stint during which the 49ers Broncos reached three straight NFC championdefensive ship games and a Super Bowl. coordinator “After conducting a thorough coachJack Del Rio ing search, and meeting with a number will become of outstanding candidates, Jim Tomsula clearly is the right man to lead this team,” head coach of CEO Jed York said in a statement. the Oakland San Francisco went 8-8 this season and Raiders. missed the playoffs.

The Jets made it official with Bowles, also a top candidate for the Atlanta job, a day after hiring former Houston director of college scouting Mike Maccagnan as general manager. They fired Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik on Dec. 29 following a 4-12 finish.

“I am confident that Todd and Mike Maccagnan are the right combination to lead this team,” Jets owner Woody Johnson said.

Bowles, a former NFL defensive back, is the Jets’ sixth straight defensive-focused head coach and fifth since Johnson took over in 2000, following Bill Parcells, Al Groh, Herm Edwards, Eric Mangini and Ryan.

“It’s an honor and privilege to coach the Jets,” Bowles said in a statement. “I can’t help but be humbled by the chance to coach this team. I am going to do everything I can to build a consistent winner.”

Bowles from Elizabeth, N.J., was the Jets’ defensive backs coach under Groh in 2000 season. He beat out five other candidates who interviewed, including Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and former Buffalo coach Doug Marrone.

A person with knowledge of the Del Rio’s hiring said a deal was agreed to Wednesday, not long after the team told interim coach Tony Sparano he would not get the job.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an announcement had not been made.

Del Rio, a former NFL linebacker, was the head coach in Jacksonville for nine seasons before spending the past three as Denver’s defensive coordinator.

Sparano was elevated from offensive line coach during the season to replace the fired Dennis Allen. Oakland went 3-9 under Sparano after losing the first four games under Allen.

Ryan ended up in Buffalo on Monday and was as brash and bold as ever Wednesday at his first news conference.

“Is this thing on?” Ryan said, tapping the microphone.

“Because it’s getting ready to be on.”

Hawks win 10th straight game The Associated Press

BOSTON — DeMarre Carroll and Jeff Teague each scored 22 points to help the Atlanta Hawks win their 10th straight game, 105-91 over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday Hawks 105 night.

Paul Millsap added Celtics 91 18 points and 10 rebounds for Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta, 31-8 overall and 15-5 on the road. The Hawks have their first double-digit winning streak since winning 11 in a row early in the 1997-98 season. They also have won 10 straight on the road, the longest streak in club history.

Teague, Millsap and Carroll were well-rested after getting a night off Tuesday, when Al Horford led the Hawks past Philadelphia with his first career triple-double. On Wednesday, it was Horford and veteran outside shooter Kyle Korver resting up as their teammates easily took care of the Celtics.

Danny Green scored 18 points and Tim Duncan added 14 points and 10 rebounds to help the defending champion Spurs beat the Hornets for the eighth straight time.

WIZARDS 105, BULLS 99 In Chicago, Paul Pierce had 22 points and Washington beat Chicago, despite Derrick Rose’s season-high 32 points for the Bulls.

John Wall scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter. Bradley Beal added 17, and the Wizards knocked off the Central division leaders for the second time in six days.

Washington trailed by as much as 11 in the first half but outscored Chicago 32-19 in the third quarter to take a seven-point lead to the fourth.

The Wizards hung on after Chicago pulled within one, giving the Bulls their fourth loss in five games.

PELICANS 105, PISTONS 94 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Anthony Davis had 27 points and 10 rebounds as New Orleans handed Detroit only its second loss in 11 games.

The Pelicans were missing Jrue Holliday (ankle), but easily picked up their second win in five games. Tyreke Evans added 18 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.

Brandon Jennings had 19 points for the Pistons, and Greg Monroe had 16 points and eight rebounds.

GRIZZLIES 103, NETS 92 In New York, Zach Randolph had 20 points and 14 rebounds and Memphis beat slumping Brooklyn in the Grizzlies’ first matchup against former coach Lionel Hollins.

Hollins’ new team dropped its seventh straight.

MAGIC 120, ROCKETS 113 In Orlando, Fla., Victor Oladipo had 32 points, Nik Vucevic added 25 and 12 rebounds and Orlando rallied to beat Houston.

Amir Johnson had 10 points and a seasonhigh 16 rebounds, Lou Williams added 19 points and Jonas Valanciunas had 12 to help Toronto improve to 7-0 against Atlantic Division opponents.

Michael Carter-Williams scored a season-high 29 points for Philadelphia. The 76ers lost their second straight and fell to 2-7 on the second night of back-to-backs. Philadelphia lost at home to Atlanta on Tuesday night.

Coaches: Ryan to ‘prove’ self Continued from Page B-1 Outlining his objectives, Ryan said the job is his last chance to prove himself.

He vowed to build the Bills into “a bully” and said he has an additional chip on his shoulder after being fired by the Jets.

“Yes, it’s personal,” he said, about being fired. “It’s embarrassing.”

Marrone shocked the Bills by stepping down Dec. 31.

The second-year coach opted out of his contract after Terry and Kim Pegula purchased the franchise in October.

Ryan made a veiled reference to Marrone’s departure by saying: “This football team deserves a loyal coach.”

Bowles becomes the fifth black head coach currently in the NFL, joining Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin, Cincinnati’s Marvin Lewis, Tampa Bay’s Lovie Smith and Detroit’s Jim Caldwell.

A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that former Dallas and Buffalo head coach Chan Gailey will be Bowles’ offensive coordinator. Gailey was out of football the last two seasons after being fired as the Bills’ coach after the 2012 season.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Jets have not announced the hiring.

Baylor: Notre Dame 12 of 13 Continued from Page B-1 NO. 12 NOTRE DAME 62, GEORGIA TECH 59 In Atlanta, Jerian Grant scored 12 points, Steve Vasturia added 11 points and No. 12 Notre Dame beat Georgia Tech.

Despite the absence of starting forward Zach Auguste, the Fighting Irish (16-2, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) secured their best start to a season since 1978-79.

Pat Connaughton, V.J. Beachem and Bonzie Colson each finished with 10 points, and Demetrius Jackson had nine for Notre Dame, which has won 12 of 13.

Irish coach Mike Brey said Auguste missed the game because of an academic matter, but Brey would not speculate on a timetable for his return.

Demarco Cox scored 17 points and Chris Bolden added 13 for Georgia Tech (9-7, 0-4).

NO. 13 WICHITA STATE 67, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS 55 In Wichita, Kan., Darius Carter scored a career-high 25 points on 11-of-15 shooting, leading No. 13 Wichita State past Southern Illinois.

Ron Baker had 11 points and Tekele Cotton added 10 as the Shockers (15-2, 5-0 Missouri Valley) won their 23rd straight conference game.

Deion Lavender scored 15 points, Bola Olaniyan had 12 and Anthony Beane 10 as Southern Illinois (7-11, 0-5) lost its seventh straight.

NO. 14 MARYLAND 73, RUTGERS 65 In College Park, Md., Dez Wells scored 17 points, Jake Layman had a career-high 13 rebounds and No. 14 Maryland used a late surge to beat Rutgers.

Layman and Jared Nickens each scored 12 points for the Terrapins (16-2, 4-1 Big Ten), who finished with an 18-6 run to avert an upset.

Coming off a 67-62 win over then-No. 4 Wisconsin,

Rutgers (10-8, 2-3) appeared poised for an encore after taking a 57-51 lead with 7:27 left.

Myles Mack scored 19 points for Rutgers, and Bishop Daniels and Mike Williams each had 12.

Mariota says he’s going to the NFL

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, whose bold moves and leadership on the field brought the Ducks to the brink of a national championship before falling short, is leaving Oregon early for the NFL. Mariota announced his long-awaited decision to forgo his senior season on Oregon’s website. The team said he filed paperwork on Wednesday, a day before the NFL deadline.

“I will miss being with my teammates,” he said in a statement. “Being a part of this team was something special that I will always treasure.”

Mariota has been the humble leader of Oregon’s high-flying offense for three seasons. This season, the Ducks (13-2) defeated Florida State at the Rose Bowl in college football’s first playoffs, but fell 42-20 to Ohio State in Monday night’s national championship game.

The 6-foot-4 dual threat from Hawaii won every major award he qualified for, starting with the Heisman, as well as AP Player of the Year, the Maxwell and Walter Camp awards and Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year.

He set a conference record for most touchdowns in a single season with 58; 42 via pass, 15 on the run and a touchdown catch.

His passing touchdowns set a Pac-12 singleseason record. He also set the conference’s career mark for career touchdowns with 136.

He threw at least one touchdown pass in all 41 college games he Marcus played in at Oregon, Mariota starting in every one of his appearances. And he’s one of just four quarterbacks in FBS history to pass for more than 10,000 yards and run for more than 2,000 in his career.

“It’s been an honor to watch Marcus develop over the last four years, and I’m excited to see what his future holds,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said in a statement. “He’s given this program everything we could have asked, and he’ll be the standard by which others are judged. Mahalo.”

Led by Mariota, Oregon finished No. 2 in this season’s final AP rankings. Overall, the Ducks ranked third in the nation in total offense with an average of 547 yards per game. The Ducks’ passing offense under Mariota was ranked 10th nationally with an average of 312.5 yards a game. Mariota’s passer efficiency rating (181.7) topped the nation.

Mariota was known for his steady demeanor from the start. Off the field, he was shy and unassuming, but he stayed on

the field following every game to shake hands and pose for pictures.

Mariota said before Monday’s season finale that he would trade his Heisman for a national championship, but it wasn’t to be. In the final game he threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns.

“My main focus was to be a great teammate,” he said following the game. “That’s all I hoped to accomplish. I don’t really care about legacies.”

Mariota was a three-star recruit for the Ducks out of St. Louis High School in Honolulu. He is fiercely proud of his roots: His helmet facemask was designed to include the numbers 8-0-8 in a nod to the state’s area code, and following the national championship his family gifted him with stacks of leis that he wore in the locker room.

“I think you could argue that this was the best, if not certainly one of the top two or three greatest seasons in college football history,” Helfrich said of Mariota following the game. “And then you add in the person and the legacy that he has from that standpoint, and there has never been one greater. None.”

Among his four touchdowns in Oregon’s victory over Wyoming was an acrobatic second-quarter keeper where he somersaulted into the end zone over receiver Keanon Lowe and a Cowboys defender.

PREP SCORES

Continued from Page B-1 While the Lady Panthers lost 56-31 to Texico, that did not diminish what is looking to be a promising season. Pecos’ three losses are to the top two teams in AAA (Texico and Tularosa) according to MaxPrep.com’s Freeman rankings, and the No. 2 team in AA in Melrose.

And Valencia is a big reason for Pecos’ turnaround. She averages 18 points, 4.2 rebound and 2.6 steals per game, which lead the Panthers. Then again, she has always been at the forefront for Pecos. She was an All-District 2AA (now 2AAA) member as a freshman and scored 14 points against Texico in that state tournament game.

Valencia followed that with a first-team All-2AA honor as a sophomore.

Another reason for Pecos’ turnaround is first-year head coach Ron Drake, who recently became the state’s unofficial all-time winningest girls basketball coach after a 73-15 win over Mesa Vista on Dec. 13.

The former head coach at

Santa Fe High, St. Michael’s, Española Valley and Pojoaque Valley can’t help but heap praise on the senior wing.

“She’s stepped up her game this year,” Drake said. “She’s a really complete player. She tries to get everybody involved, even our younger kids. That comes from being a leader.

I think she is having fun this year. Her attitude has been good. Her work ethic is good. I am real happy with her.”

The fun was lost for Valencia last year as she clashed with then-head coach Leroy Barela, and it led to her dismissal during the then-District 2AA season. Valencia declined to talk about the specifics of her relationship with her former coach, but said she tried her best to get along with Barela, who is now the head girls basketball coach at Las Vegas Robertson.

“We just never really saw eye-to-eye,” Valencia said of her former coach. “It makes it hard when you don’t get along with your coach. They’re the coach, you know? That is somebody you have to get

along with. I tried, but what can you do?”

Barela declined to comment on the matter when reached by The New Mexican.

Drake, though, did not come into the job with any preconceived notions about Valencia.

He said he told players and parents in his first meeting that he is a disciplinarian and demands respect for himself and for the program.

“I told them I’m old-school, and you got to play hard for me or you don’t play,” Drake said.

“She’s been playing real hard.

She never missed a day in the summer. In the off-season, after volleyball practice, she’d come down and work out for an hour and a half.”

Drake emphasized that Valencia has improved her overall game, and that helps her when teams use exotic defenses to get the ball out of her hands. She saw that in the NRG semifinals against Mora.

The Rangerettes employed a box-and-one on Valencia to keep the ball out of her hands.

Valencia worked hard to get

12 points, but she found other Lady Panthers to step up — sophomore Megan Armijo and junior Addalisha Ortiz in particular. Armijo scored a teamhigh 19 points, while Ortiz chipped in with 11 as Pecos won 51-43.

“It lets me know they’re OK and confident enough to take on that leadership role,” Valencia said. “And they’re not afraid to do it either. They do it with as much heart as I’ve ever seen.

And they do it with no effort.

They get it done.”

Moments like that encourages Drake about the progress the Lady Panthers are making, and has him believing the team can make a deep run into the state tournament.

“We’re about hip-high right now, and I want to be shoulder high,” Drake said. “And that takes a lot of hard work.”

And while a lot has happened in three years for Valencia and the Lady Panthers, they realize just as much can occur in two months.

Lobos: Tied for first in Mountain West Continued from Page B-1 kept him on the bench.

Neal said he didn’t learn of Yon’s quadricep strain until just before tipoff. He said the mistake he made was sharing it with his players before they took the floor.

Mooney was averaging 7.1 points per contest, while Yon was at 15.3. With both players out — particularly Yon — the Lobos had an even easier time sitting back in their zone.

Neal just regretted telling his team about it.

“I think you make mistakes when you tell them their best player’s not going to play,” he said.

Now 12-5 overall, the Lobos (4-1 MWC) moved into a first place tie with Wyoming and Fresno State in the conference race heading into Sunday’s home game against Boise State.

The last thing Neal thought his team needed to remain

where it is in the standings was a change to its defensive philosophy.

“I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where we played all zone, but it took [Air Force] away from running all their offense,” Neal said. “All in all, any game you win is good.”

Although they trailed only briefly in the first half, the Lobos never did seize control until the final six minutes.

Nursing a 42-40 lead while their interior post trio of center Obij Aget and power forwards J.J. N’Ganga and Devon Williams were literally nonexistent in the scoring sheet — a combined zero points on just two shot attempts through the first 34:28 of the game — the Lobos needed that zone more badly than even Neal thought.

It forced the Falcons to take the ball inside after a handful of jumpers were eliminated, and with bigger, longer players in the paint, Air Force had its

hands full.

“Your mission is to protect the home floor and your goal is to go undefeated at home,” Neal said.

Arthur Edwards came off the bench to score 10 points while Deshawn Delaney had eight.

No one else had more than five.

For Edwards, it was a small step to getting back into good graces with the coaching staff.

Although Neal didn’t mention him specifically during Monday’s media session, it was clear that Edwards and another teammate or two were in the proverbial dog house for not being a consummate team player.

Edwards played well on defense and hit a pair of 3-pointers and a key transition layup late in the second half.

Now all Neal needs is to get his big men back into the mix.

“We’ve got to figure out how to get the ball inside the paint, passing it moving, cutting,” he

said. “Devon’s got to give us something, O’s got to give us something.”

Bit if there’s any solace, it’s this: Neal said his team learned a valuable lesson about itself on Wednesday. It learned it can, indeed, reinvent itself on the fly by playing team defense in a way hardly anyone in the program thought was possible.

NOTES u Roswell High graduate Marek Olesinski made his final appearance in The Pit, scoring nine points in a starting role for Air Force. A senior, he helped Roswell win consecutive state titles in 2009 and 2010 before joining the service academy. u The Lobos had 16 turnovers and 17 assists, getting just nine points in fastbreak opportunities. u Two starters (Aget and Williams) did not score, although the bench combined for 24 points and 12 rebounds.

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE

Colorado State rolls over Nevada 98-42 FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Gian Clavell scored 21 points and Fred Richardson III added 20 to lead Colorado State in a 98-42 rout over Nevada on Wednesday night.

The 56-point margin of victory was the largest in the Rams’ school history.

Colorado State (16-2, 3-2 Mountain West) held a 55-12 lead at the half behind 54.3-percent shooting from the field, and 9 of 14 from behind the arc. Clavell scored 17 points, and Richardson and Daniel Bejarano added 10 apiece in the first half.

Nevada was held to 5-of-30 shooting in the first half and had 12 turnovers.

Tiel Daniels scored 13 points and Stanton Kidd chipped in 12 as the Rams finished at 56.9-percent shooting from the floor, and made 13 3-pointers.

AJ West scored 10 points to lead the Wolf Pack (6-10, 2-2). Nevada improved to 18-of-55 shooting (32.7 percent) by games end, and had six second-half turnovers.

Fresno State defeats San Jose State 73-62 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Paul Watson scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Fresno State to a 73-62 win over San Jose State on Wednesday night.

Marvelle Harris and Cezar Guerrero added 15 points apiece for the Bulldogs

(9-9, 4-1 Mountain West Conference).

Karachi Edo chipped in 10. The team hit 52 percent from the field overall and 75 percent from the line.

Fresno State went 11-2 to start and led 32-30 at halftime.

The Bulldogs extended their lead to 45-37 on a 13-7 run to kick off the second half and took it to 63-44 on a 12-5 run midway highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers by Guerrero and another by Watson. Edo finished off the Spartans (2-15, 0-5) with a pair of dunks in the final three minutes.

Rashad Muhammad led San Jose State with 16 points. Jaleel Williams added 13 points and six rebounds.

Heart of the season brings special events

A snowboarder in 2009 comes in for a landing from a 25-foot jump at the Crazy Mother terrain park during its grand opening at the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area. This week’s storm did dump snow at Pajarito, but not nearly enough for the resort to open this weekend. Only 3 inches accumulated at the base, forcing Saturday’s Beer & Band Event to move to Sipapu.

Winter stiffs Pajarito Paltry snowfall further delays opening; events move to Sipapu

By Will Webber The New Mexican

Y

ou’ll have to do a lot better than that, Ol’ Man Winter.

The same storm system that made road conditions an adventure, school kids a bit happier with delays and cancellations, and the mountains take on the look of frosted cake — it didn’t do nearly enough to get one of Northern New Mexico’s overlooked ski resorts open for business.

Pajarito Mountain received just 3 inches from the winter system that blew through the state on Tuesday and Wednesday — a disappointing total, considering the potential some forecasters had for the storm. The resort’s base depth is still well below where it should be to allow operators to open as hoped this weekend.

“Three inches isn’t enough at all,” said spokeswoman Amanda Hoffmeyer. “It will take more than that.”

How much? Less than a foot at the base and not nearly enough overall to provide ample ground cover or depth to justify the expense for getting things up and running.

In its first year under the ownership of Texas Capital Partners, Pajarito is shifting its scheduled Beer & Band event to fellow Texas Capital Partners resort, Sipapu. Since Pajarito doesn’t have a liquor license, this event was meant to draw locals and keep them there for what

Snow falls earlier this winter at Pajarito.

The resort has no snowmaking equipment, so it is dependent upon Mother Nature.

COURTESY PAJARITO SKI AREA

proved to be a rare, special occasion.

“It would have been unique for that area,” Hoffmeyer said. “It gives people an excuse to hang around the mountain and enjoy something they normally can’t.”

The Beer & Band festival will be Saturday in Sipapu, and the band that was scheduled to perform at Pajarito, Square Pegs, will now perform at the alternate location. Beer will be provided

by Taos Mesa Brewery and it’s one of several events now on tap for Sipapu.

“It’s going to be a busy weekend with a lot going on, but we didn’t want the Beer & Bands

event to get canceled,” Hoffmeyer said.

Such is the hit-and-miss nature (mostly miss, actually) of the ski season at Pajarito. Located just outside of Los Alamos in the Jemez Mountains, it has historically fared poorly for winter sports enthusiasts. Even in fruitful years of deep snow bases, the high winds at the top of the mountain make it difficult for the snow conditions to remain optimal.

Add to it the fact the resort still does not have the infrastructure in place to make artificial snow, and the area is entirely dependent on winter to deliver snow in droves. Sadly, that’s not often the case.

All of which has the operators of Sipapu doing what they can to pick up the slack.

Located not far from Taos, the area is pushing ahead with its annual Telemark Festival this Saturday. A series of clinics and races, it also features a free skibike clinic and a full-mountain scavenger hunt.

The original plan was to have Pajarito open back on Nov. 27, a weekend when most of the state’s ski areas were up and running on a limited basis. While hopes have remained high, the poor conditions have not dissipated enough to crank up the lifts and let skiers on the mountain.

Without much time remaining — figuratively speaking — in the current ski season, operators aren’t entirely sure when — or if — the shutters will swing open and the slopes will be made available.

FOR THE BIRDS

Visiting varied thrush a rare sight in Santa Fe

By Anne Schmauss For The New Mexican

T

here has been a verified report of an unusual (for this area) varied thrush on the northwestern edge of Santa Fe. He’s tough to miss. At more than 9 inches long, he’s almost as big as his robin cousin. He sports black and orange markings that cause him to stand out from the crowd.

He’s been hanging out in a customer’s backyard for a couple of weeks drinking from their birdbath and feasting on their juniper berries.

This thrush is native to California in the winter and spends summers as far north as Alaska. New Mexico should not even be on this bird’s radar screen.

So, why is he here?

I posed this question to birder and naturalist John Schaust and this is his response: “The varied thrush may be in your area for two reasons. They are known to move outside of their normal range in response to the lack of food resources. With California’s prolonged drought, they

A varied thrush, photographed Jan. 1. COURTESY FRANZ FREIBERT

may be moving east to find food.

They love acorns, berries and fruit in the winter.

“Another possibility is that they have been documented to move east every 3 to 5 years in an irruptive migration. They have been reported all the way to Maine.

The cause for this ‘irruption’ is not known, but is well documented through all of the bird surveys: Christmas Bird Count, Great Backyard Bird Count, Project Feederwatch, etc. I have not heard anything about varied thrush observations in the East so far this winter,

so my best guess is that you have an adventurous varied thrush that has come to your area in search of food.”

It seems like this adventurer is just looking for food. Who knows how long he’ll stay. As of this writing, he wasn’t visible, but his call was still being heard.

When food is scarce, birds often move around to find it. That makes perfect sense to me. Animals, including humans, do the same thing. If your habitat won’t support you, then it’s time to move on. We see this phenomena commonly with birds. Sometimes in the winter you’ll see hundreds of pine siskins feasting on your thistle feeder.

They may hang out for a week, maybe all winter, or maybe not at all. Evening grosbeaks float around, usually in small groups, during the winter looking for food. Sometimes they show up in your backyard, and sometimes they don’t.

You may be seeing Steller’s jays (the jay with the big crest) at your feeders this winter for the first time. Some of you had them last winter, or maybe you’ve never seen Steller’s jays in your backyard. It’s

not uncommon to see this kind of movement and it’s even predictable in Northern New Mexico that we’ll see birds like pine siskins, evening grosbeaks, Steller’s jays, and mountain chickadees in unpredictable numbers and places from one winter to the next.

The varied thrush is a bit different than the other winter visitors I mention because it is so unusual for them to show up in our area. This thrush is so far from home and seems to be the only one. Makes me wonder what other animals and birds have been silently displaced by the California drought.

I’m very glad that this thrush has found a source of steady food and water and I hope he’s able to make it home come spring.

Today in history Today is Thursday, Jan. 15, the 15th day of 2015. There are 350 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 15, 1865, during the closing months of the Civil War, the Second Battle of Fort Fisher near Wilmington, North Carolina, ended as Union forces captured the “Gibraltar of the South,” depriving the Confederates of their last major seaport.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might defer to others. Ultimately, what you hear will be good news, but it still is likely to create some stress. Tonight: Keep the peace, but have a needed discussion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You’ll have the right words, but everyone seems so busy with personal matters that they might not be listening.

Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Be more sensitive. Listen to what other involved parties have to say, but don’t feel as if you have to help financially. Tonight: In weekend mode.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Emphasis will be on family and personal matters.

Your mood is contagious, and others seem to become more upbeat as a result. Tonight: Buy a treat on the way home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your instincts will point you in the right direction, despite any interference you might encounter. In fact, you will discover how right-on your intuition can be. Tonight: At your favorite haunt.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Reader fixates on beau’s deception Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I are in our 60s and have known each other since high school. We reconnected five years ago, and for the past 18 months, we’ve been living together.

At first, my boyfriend was loving and sweet and promised all sorts of dreams for our future. But after several months, he changed.

He became distant, sometimes even cruel in his actions. I begged him to tell me if there was another woman, but he always denied it, in spite of rumors and the fact that things just seemed off.

The problem is, even after all this time, I still have moments when I’m convinced he had a fling with a certain woman, and I can’t get over it. He still denies it, and I am confused and hurt. But when I ask, he will respond by withdrawing from me for months.

I believe he did have an affair and never got over her and that’s why we have so little intimacy now. I have been praying and am seeing a counselor, but I can’t seem to let it go completely. Is there something wrong with me?

Or is my intuition telling me that he deceived me and is continuing to lie about it?

All my friends say either to let it go or to end it, but I don’t want to leave him, and I have no control over my thoughts and feelings.

Please help. — Louise in Louisville Dear Louise: Actually, you do have some control over those thoughts and feelings, but it takes effort and willingness. Your intuition is telling you that your boyfriend is not being completely honest, and you have become fixated on knowing something that he probably will never tell you.

And it could be that there is nothing to tell. Because you wish to stay with him, please talk to your counselor about how to forgive him, and then do the necessary work to get there.

Dear Annie: I would like to write a note to all smokers: News flash. You smell like a dirty ashtray. Always. You try to be nice and go outside to have your cigarette, but when you come back in, you still smell like an ashtray. You

smoke in your car so you can have your cigarette before you arrive at your destination, but when you walk into the room, you still smell. Your clothes reek of smoke — always. No amount of perfume covers it up.

Just thought you’d like to know.

I know I’m tired of smelling you.

— A Nonsmoker Dear Nonsmoker: Although what you say is true, it is not so simple. Most smokers are well aware of the lingering odor, not to mention the yellowing teeth and nails, frequent cough, and looming lung cancer. The downside has been well-documented and -publicized. But smoking is highly addictive. For some, giving it up is nearly impossible, no matter how much effort they put into trying.

Though smoking in the car or outside the office is not ideal, it is better than nothing.

Dear Annie: I’d like to offer a more positive response to all those mothers who complain about their daughters-in-law.

My son is married to a wonderful woman. She is a great mother to their two children and stepmother to his daughter. I love this woman with all of my heart. I am always welcome in their home as they are in mine. I can have the grandchildren whenever I want.

When their daughter was born, my daughter-in-law gave me the most wonderful gift: She allowed me to be in the delivery room for the birth. What a precious woman my son married.

I called her “daughter,” because to me, that is what she is. My own mother-in-law was not very kind to me, and I vowed I would be different. Sometimes it takes a little work, and sometimes your son marries an angel. — Mother-inLaw of an Angel Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Your focus remains on your long-term goals and on the financial backing necessary to make them so. Tonight: Where the action is.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Someone who is well aware of your performance might be quite pleased with what is happening. Take a stand.

Tonight: On cruise control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH You might be unusually quiet when dealing with others. They might want to know what is happening with you, and you might be hard-pressed to explain it. Tonight: Not to be found.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You’ll be more concerned about a meeting than you might realize. A close friend will support you in a very open and clear manner. Tonight: Enjoy a leisurely dinner.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might have to take on additional responsibilities and work, but others are likely to want to help you out. You might be uncomfortable changing roles in a relationship. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You have a lot of energy invested in completing a project and in making time for an important friend or associate. What you decide to do easily could become a reality. Tonight: Put your feet up.
