New Mexico pharmacists to prescribe anti-overdose drug

Pharmacists in New Mexico have become the first in the United States certified to prescribe a lifesaving anti-overdose drug directly to patients. The first 60 pharmacists have been trained by the New Mexico Board of Pharmacy on the use of naloxone, which has the brand name Narcan.

The medicine is administered by attaching a nasal-tip inhaler to a small vial, which is used to spray a mist into the nose membrane. The drug flows directly to the brain, blocking opioids and restoring breathing. For New Mexico pharmacists, the issue is really one of a public health emergency, as the state is always at the top for per capita overdose deaths from prescription drugs and heroin, said Dale Tinker, executive

director of the New Mexico Pharmacists Association. “Pharmacists have a chance to change that statistic,” Tinkler said. “In our state, pharmacists can write prescriptions. No other state is structured like that.” It is friends and family members of addicts who often use Narcan on a loved one and credit it for reversing overdoses and saving lives. For years, Narcan has been used

Developers: Railyard building not sinking Firm behind Market Station says Bushee’s comments ‘reckless’ By Daniel J. Chacón

The developers of Market Station at the Santa Fe Railyard on Wednesday downplayed concerns raised by city officials about subsidence around the structure, saying the building isn’t sinking but that some of the sidewalks are settling because of drainage problems. “There’s been subsidence in sidewalk areas, but the underground parking garage and Market Station is not sinking whatsoever,” Rick Jaramillo, one of the principals in Railyard Co. LLC, said Wednesday. “I’m not an engineer … but our take is that we have some negative elevation grades in the entire drainage of the North Railyard, so there’s some water ponding. Of course, water finds its way in, and probably some of the dirt that was engineered and compacted has settled a couple of inches in various spots,” he said. The city of Santa Fe, which purchased part of the building at 500 Market St. for $3.6 million in 2012 as part of a settlement to avoid a lawsuit with the developer, proposes to spend $68,710 on a study to determine the extent of the problem and how to fix it. Assistant City Attorney Judith Amer told the City Council’s Public Works Committee on Monday that the city was on the hook for the costs of the engineering study and construction fixes, estimated to be as much a $400,000. “Subsidence is evident on all four sides of the building,” Robert Siqueiros, the city’s Railyard projects administrator, wrote to the commit-

the fee would help offset the higher costs of paper bags. And employees with Wal-Mart, which has two locations in the city, said those stores will start charging 11 cents for paper bags on Tuesday. Iturralde is among those who say a fee would provide more incentive for shoppers to use reusable bags. Even without it, she supports the ban on plastic bags. “A lot of people just ask for plastic bags [at grocery stores] because they want to use them for something else,” Iturralde said. Lawrence Garcia, acting director of city’s Environmental Services Department, said the city will enforce the ordinance by issuing warnings and then fines.

A small, electronic device that skims data was used to steal financial information from hundreds of people who used Del Norte Credit Union debit cards to purchase gas at a Giant Service Station in Santa Fe, Del Norte said Wednesday. The credit union reported to city police that up to 700 members might have had their debit cards compromised at the Giant on Sawmill Road between March 20 and March 24. Of those, 20 found their cards had been used for fraudulent purchases or cash withdrawals before the credit union shut down their accounts and issued new ones, said Del Norte President and CEO Chuck Valenti. “We reissued debit cards instantly. They were able to come in the next morning and get new cards and new bank numbers,” Valenti said, adding that the fraud reports began Friday. Most of the charges came from Henderson and Las Vegas, Nev., said Celina Westervelt, a spokeswoman with the Santa Fe Police Department. She said it’s likely that customers from other banks also had debit cards compromised and that Giant might not be the only station in the city where scofflaws are skimming bank card information, PIN numbers and ZIP codes from gas pumps. Police do not believe Giant was

Wal-Mart will begin charging for paper bags Tuesday, employees say By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

renda Iturralde was carrying her groceries from Albertsons in brown paper bags Wednesday and loading them into her car. She had forgotten to bring her reusable tote bags. “If stores started charging [for the paper bags], I definitely wouldn’t forget my [reusable] bags,” Iturralde said. The city will begin enforcing its ban on most plastic grocery bags today. The goal of the new law is to use fewer non-degradable plastic

bags, which accumulate in landfills. But for people like Iturralde, who forget to bring their own bags from home, the new law will be fairly harmless. That’s because the City Council voted last month to drop the 10-cent fee for paper bags originally proposed in the ordinance. The fee was intended to provide an incentive for shoppers to bring reusable bags. While some residents agree with the ordinance, others say it’s counterproductive because shoppers will opt to take paper bags rather than buy reusable bags. Critics also say that more paper bag consumption would be just as damaging to the environment. The ordinance gives retailers an option to charge for paper bags, but some have decided not to do so.

In brief

Global executions up 15 percent in 2013 NEW YORK — A new report says the number of reported executions around the world rose almost 15 percent in 2013, and the United States was among the five countries putting the most people to death. The Amnesty International report released Thursday says the 778 executions it was able to count last year don’t include the thousands of people put to death in China, where such information is a state secret. The report says last year’s increase is due in part to more executions in Iran and Iraq. Saudi Arabia followed them. Amnesty says about one in 10 countries carried out executions last year. North Korea and Somalia, among others, had public executions. The group counted more than 23,000 people on death row.

Astronomers discover pink world LOS ANGELES — Peering into the far reaches of the solar system, astronomers have spied a pink frozen world 7½ billion miles from the sun. It’s the second such object to be discovered in a region of space beyond Pluto long considered a celestial wasteland. Until now, the lone known resident in this part of the solar system was an oddball dwarf planet spotted in 2003 named Sedna after the mythological Inuit goddess who created the sea creatures of the Arctic. The new find, 2012 VP113, detailed in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature, was tracked using a camera on a ground telescope in Chile by Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., and Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii. Trujillo was part of the team that found Sedna. The Associated Press

N.Y. schools most segregated Report on nation’s schools indicates housing plays role in lack of racial diversity By Karen Matthews The Associated Press

NEW YORK — New York state has the most segregated public schools in the nation, with many black and Latino students attending schools with virtually no white classmates, according to a report released Wednesday. The report by the Civil Rights Project at the University of California at Los Angeles looks at enrollment trends from 1989 to 2010. In New York City, the largest school system in the U.S. with 1.1 million pupils, the study notes that many of the charter schools created over the last dozen years are among the least diverse of all, with less than 1 percent white enrollment at 73 percent of charter schools.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously bolstered the federal law that bars those convicted of domestic violence from possessing a firearm. The court gave a wide interpretation of the law’s requirement of “physical force.” The federal government said that was important because in some states, misdemeanor domestic violence laws are not specific about

the force required. The case was brought by James Alvin Castleman, who was charged with selling firearms on the black market. He was charged with violating the federal firearm law because he had pleaded guilty in Tennessee of misdemeanor domestic violence. Because the federal law requires the “use or attempted use of physical force” and Tennessee’s misdemeanor domestic violence law does not, a district judge agreed with Castleman that the federal charges should be dismissed.

Michigan and California, according to the Civil Rights Project. In New York, about half of the state’s public school students were from low-income families in 2010, the report says, but the typical black or Latino student attended a school where close to 70 percent of classmates were low-income. The typical white student went to a school where just 30 percent of classmates were low-income. “For New York to have a favorable multiracial future both socially and economically, it is absolutely urgent that its leaders and citizens understand both the values of diversity and the harms of inequality,” the study’s authors say. The UCLA report recommends that state and local education agencies develop policies aimed at reducing racial isolation and promoting diverse schools. The report suggests voluntary desegregation programs in upstate cities like Rochester, where low-income populations are surrounded by more affluent communities.

But the court, in an opinion written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, said that was too literal a definition. “Minor uses of force may not constitute ‘violence’ in the generic sense,” Sotomayor wrote. All of the justices agreed with the outcome of the case. But Justice Antonin Scalia wrote: “When everything is domestic violence, nothing is. Congress will have to come up with a new word (I cannot imagine what it would be) to denote actual domestic violence.” The case is U.S. v. Castleman.

“To create a whole new system that’s even worse than what you’ve got really takes some effort,” said Gary Orfield, co-director of the Civil Rights Project and an author of the report. He and his fellow researchers say segregation has the effect of concentrating black and Latino students in schools with high ratios of poor students compared with the statewide average. Black and Latino students who attend schools that are integrated by race and income level perform significantly better than their peers in segregated schools, the authors note. The study suggests that New York’s segregation is largely due to housing patterns, but that it could be mitigated through policies intended to promote diversity. “In the 30 years I have been researching schools, New York state has consistently been one of the most segregated states in the nation — no Southern state comes close to New York,” Orfield said. Other states with highly segregated schools include Illinois,

Conn. OKs highest minimum wage HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut state lawmakers Wednesday became the first in the country to pass legislation that would increase the state’s minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, by 2017, the same rate President Barack Obama wants for the federal minimum wage. Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy applauded Wednesday’s votes, saying he’ll sign the bill into law at the same New Britain restaurant where Obama dined earlier this month during a visit. Jack Temple, a policy analyst for the National Employment Law Project, said Connecticut’s vote clears the way for other states to pass the legislation, and possibly Congress. “I think the significance cannot be overstated for this,” he said. “The more action we see on the state level like this, that’s always an ingredient for momentum at the federal level as well.”

DETROIT — The leader of the Peace Corps elaborated on the group’s plans to simplify the application process for prospective volunteers and to expand and further diversify the applicant pool during a speech Wednesday at the Michigan university where the agency traces its roots. Acting Director Carrie HesslerRadelet told those gathered at the University of Michigan that the Peace Corps aims to double the number of applications while boosting recruiting in more racially and ethnically diverse communities. To that end, every regional recruitment office is hiring an additional dedicated diversity recruiter. “We’re stepping up our efforts to recruit in underrepresented communities so that our volunteer force represents the beautiful multicultural nation that we are,” she said. She first outlined the changes during a speech at the National Press Club late last month. Many of those changes were directed by Congress, which in 2011 passed legislation in response to criticism that the Peace Corps wasn’t doing enough to protect the volunteers it sends abroad. “Our highest priority as an agency remains doing everything we can to support our volunteers and ensure their health and safety,” said HesslerRadelet, a Peace Corps volunteer in Western Samoa in the early 1980s who became the agency’s deputy director in 2010 and was nominated for the top post last year. Hessler-Radelet also announced two new partnership agreements with University of Michigan that will provide more students the ability to combine Peace Corps service with graduate degrees. One allows students to earn a graduate degree while serving overseas and the other provides volunteers with scholarships, academic credit and stipends toward an advanced degree after they complete their service. Then-U.S. Sen. John F. Kennedy came to the Ann Arbor school in 1960, weeks before being elected president. He challenged students to give two years of their lives and serve people of the developing world, a call leading to the creation of the Peace Corps. Peace Corps volunteers provide hands-on assistance in developing parts of the world in areas including health education, information technology and environmental preservation. Volunteers receive a living allowance and transition funds after they complete 27 months of service. The Peace Corps has sent about 215,000 Americans to serve in 139 countries.

A story about Rio Grande cutthroat trout on Page B-1 of the March 26, 2014, edition misspelled the name of Jason Blakney, cold-water fisheries biologist with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. In addition, all of the five state hatcheries raising rainbow trout now raise sterile females, not just two, as reported. Some additional clarifications: The 63 miles of restored stream and 14 acres of restored lake habitat are just in New Mexico; there is an additional restored habitat in Colorado. There is only one species of Rio Grande cutthroat trout, but three unique genetic strains, one each in the Rio Grande, Pecos River and Canadian River watersheds. Whirling disease, while one potential disease in hatchery fish that is a reason to keep them separated from wild populations, has not been found in state hatcheries since 2002.

lite data and not any tangible physical evidence. But floating debris may turn out to be of only limited help in locating the data recorders, oceanographers said. In the 18 days since the plane disappeared, the debris could have drifted hundreds of miles, according to Jianping Gan, an oceanographer at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology who has done research aboard a Chinese icebreaker in the ocean waters around Antarctica. Jason Ali, an earth sciences professor at Hong Kong University who has studied currents in the Indian Ocean, said, “if it has been floating for two and a half weeks, it’s not going to have much relation to the wreckage” on the seabed. Military submarines have sophisticated equipment for listening for signs of surface ships or other submarines. But they are designed to operate mainly within a few hundred feet of the surface, and have only a limited ability to detect pings from the ocean floor far below, transmitted through water of varying densities and temperatures moving at different speeds. Towed devices, on the other hand, can operate at great depths: the Bluefin-21, which the U.S. Navy is sending to the region, can descend to 14,700 feet, and a pinger detector can plunge 20,000 feet. For now, aircraft from Australia and other countries have been scouring an area the size of the western and southwestern United States where the plane is believed to have flown after it sent its last automated signals to a satellite. The authorities have not extended the search to all the places in the ocean where debris might have drifted.

WASHINGTON — In the days leading up to President Barack Obama’s trip to Europe, the director of the Secret Service, Julia A. Pierson, sat down with the agency’s senior officials to reiterate a message she had focused on during her first year in the job. Although it had been nearly two years since several agents were caught soliciting prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia, shortly before Obama arrived there for a summit meeting, Pierson said that the agency remained under scrutiny. Agents should be reminded, she said, to be on their best behavior during the coming trip to Europe, where Obama planned to meet with European allies. Despite her efforts, the agency and Pierson, who was traveling with the president on this trip, are again confronting embarrassing behavior by agents. On Sunday, the day before Obama arrived in the Netherlands, three agents were sent home by the Secret Service in connection with excessive drinking. One of the agents was found passed out in a hotel hallway after he could not figure out how to get into his room. The agents, who were part of a counterassault team, had gone out to dinner and continued to drink afterward. The Secret Service has put the agents on leave as it continues to investigate the matter. The episode comes just four months after it was revealed that a supervisor was removed from Obama’s security detail and demoted after being accused of leaving a bullet in a woman’s room at a luxury hotel near the White House after having drinks with her. While the episode in the Netherlands does not appear to have had any effect on the president’s security, it has raised new questions about whether the Secret Service, which prides itself on remaining out of the headlines, has fostered a culture of debauchery. Glenn A. Fine, a partner at the Dechert law firm and the Department of Justice’s inspector general from 2000 to 2011, said the agency seems to be “having their fair share of incidents and I wouldn’t dismiss them as one-offs because it continues to happen.” He added, “It’s not good for the government because instead of taking their job seriously to protect the president and abide by the agency’s rules and regulations, a few of these agents go on a frolic and a detour.” A spokesman for the Secret Service defended the agency’s culture, saying that an examination by the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general in December found that “the Secret Service takes appropriate action when misconduct is identified.” “The report concludes that there is no evidence that misconduct or inappropriate behavior is widespread in the Secret Service,” said Ed Donovan, a spokesman. In addition, Donovan said, “There is no evidence that leadership fosters an environment that tolerates inappropriate behavior.”

Railyard: City must pay for any repairs Continued from Page A-1 tee in support of the funding request. “This project would include surveying the site, performing a geotechnical investigation and preparing construction plans to remediate the settlement and repair surface improvements.” On Wednesday, Railyard Co. sent the City Attorney’s Office a letter stating that the city — specifically City Councilor Patti Bushee — was violating the settlement agreement, which includes a non-disparagement clause. When the funding request for the engineering study was presented to councilors Monday, Bushee raised a red flag. “Subsidence is a big deal. It’s caving in on itself,” she said. Jaramillo and Steve Duran, another principal at Railyard Co., said Bushee’s statement was false and “could provide unfounded justification for our tenants to break or modify their current leases,” among other concerns. The pair had sent an email to the city raising concerns about “disparaging comments” that Bushee made about Railyard Co. in a story published by The New Mexican in February, according to Wednesday’s letter. “We believe these are actionable breaches of our settlement agreement,” the letter states. “We demand you advise Councilor Bushee and all councilors to adhere to the terms of our settlement agreement. Should any of these concerns materialize, we will be forced to hold the City accountable for these reckless comments.” Jaramillo said the engineering study could reveal movement of the building, but he thinks it’s highly unlikely because there are no signs now to support such a conclusion. “You would see cracking in stucco and shifting and things. None of that is evident,” he said. “Basically, it’s sidewalk settlement in certain areas.” Acting City Manager Brian Snyder told the council during Wednesday’s meeting that the building “is not falling down.” “It’s not a safety issue for the public. It’s not a safety issue for our staff,” he said. “When you’re saying ‘not falling down,’ you’re saying not sinking?” Mayor Javier Gonzales asked Snyder. “Not sinking,” he said. “Not sinking.” Jaramillo compared the building to a bunker. “This is probably the first place I’d go if the Russians were attacking,” he joked while standing in the bottom floor of the three-story underground parking garage. Evidence of the damage

is visible around the building. Sidewalks have settled a few inches into the ground, and temporary ramps have been installed at doorways to prevent people from tripping and to make them wheelchair accessible. “We’ve identified the areas that are problematic, and we’re working with the city,” Jaramillo said. “It’s a real complex situation because our property line in certain areas is the building.” The city assumed liability for the repairs under two separate settlement agreements involving the underground parking garage. One of the agreements is between Thos S. Byrne LTD, the contractor that built the underground parking garage, and Railyard Co. and the city, who are the owners of the building. The settlement agreement was reached after Byrne filed a lawsuit against Railyard Co. and the city in October 2009. The contractor alleged Railyard Co. “failed or refused to pay” amounts that it was due under the construction contract, among other allegations. Byrne received $300,000 from the city and $85,000 from Railyard Co. to settle the lawsuit, according to court documents. The other settlement came after Railyard Co. threatened to sue the city as well as the Santa Fe Railyard Community Corp., a nonprofit property management group. As part of that agreement, the city agreed to buy one of the condominiums in the building for $3.6 million and waive $188,297 in impact fees. The city, which moved several departments and divisions into the condominium from the Joseph Montoya Federal Building at 120 S. Federal Place, paid more than $1 million on top of the purchase cost to transform the interior into offices and pay for the move. Contact Daniel J. Chacón at 986-3089 or dchacon@sfnewmexican.com.

Data: Devices skim info at Giant station Continued from Page A-1 involved but are investigating, Westervelt said. Skimmers are small electronic devices that are installed inside or outside the gas pump’s card reader to steal card information. The skimmer collects information from cards and sends it wirelessly to a laptop, smartphone or other device. People who install the skimmers will sometimes wait days or weeks before attempting to use the card information, which is why it is important for people to check bank statements regularly for fraudulent use of cards. “We’re telling people to go inside the store to pay for gas if they’re going to use a debit or credit card,” Westervelt said. “If they can’t do that, check outside the debit slot at the pump to make sure there is nothing unusual over it. Check your bank accounts immediately. If anyone thinks they are a victim or saw something suspicious at a gas pump, please call police. “This is kind of a national scam that other agencies have seen, but this is the first time we’ve seen it in Santa Fe,” Westervelt added. Staff at Del Norte called all

credit union members whose cards had been compromised and urged them to come in for new cards. Any fraudulent charges were covered by the credit union, Valenti said. Del Norte also posted information about the problem on the credit union’s website with a number members can call if they need help. A check of websites for other financial institutions in the city did not find any warnings posted. Westervelt said the wife of a city police officer who banks at a different institution also was affected. Someone skimmed her debit card at the gas station and used the card to withdraw a total of $1,000. City police are working with agencies in Nevada and with federal agencies to investigate. Westervelt said they don’t know how many other customers have been affected or how many financial institutions are involved. The Santa Fe Police Department asks that anyone with information on the case call officers at 428-3710. Contact Staci Matlock at 986-3055 or smatlock@sfnew mexican.com.

Prescribe: 14 area pharmacists trained Continued from Page A-1 to emergency workers and has so far reported some 2,500 overdose reversals from the drug. “It’s just incredible, it’s like magic,” Michael Viviano, deputy fire chief in Revere, Mass., told The Associated Press in February. “There’s somebody who’s on the ground who’s literally dead. They have no pulse. Sometimes they’re blue, sometimes they’re black. And you administer this stuff and sometimes, in a minute or two or three, they’re actually up and talking to you.” Dr. Michael Landen, state epidemiologist with the New Mexico Department of Health, estimates there were as many as 500 statewide overdose reversals due to Narcan in 2013. “Narcan is one of the keys to preventing prescription drug overdoses,” Landen said. “Allowing people who need access to Narcan and having it available at most pharmacies is very important.” The Legislature granted the 1,600 New Mexico pharmacists prescribing authority for a number of protocols in 2001 — that’s how flu shots and other vaccinations became available at local pharmacies and chains such as Walgreens and CVS. Since then, the Board of Pharmacy has expanded procedures and training to help with tuberculosis testing, emergency contraception, tobacco cessation and now Narcan. One reason the prescribing authority was granted to pharmacies is because New Mexico is so rural, and there are often access problems for patients seeking physician care — more so today with the expansion of Medicaid under the fed-

eral Affordable Care Act. Yet, every small town has a neighborhood pharmacist. “We are such a rural state, and in so many underserved areas, there are pharmacists located in areas that aren’t served by [medical] providers,” Tinker said. Landen said expanding supply through pharmacies makes the most sense for New Mexico, as “pharmacists can provide some of the patient and family advice on how to use Narcan.” The Narcan training for pharmacists, completed Tuesday, was conducted both in person and through videoconferencing by Project ECHO at The University of New Mexico. Tom Lovett of Nambé Drugs was one of 14 Santa Fe-area pharmacists who completed the four hours of instruction. Lovett said many of his customers are on long-term pain medication, but even those new to pain medicine or who are prescribed a new dosage should know about Narcan. “It’s a good idea to be able to offer it to our patients, just to let them know the danger of these medications, especially if you’re on them long term. You can forget.” He said the patient guidance is pretty involved and requires a face-to-face consultation. He will also encourage family member training. “If you lose consciousness, you’re not going to be able to do this yourself,” Lovett said. Lovett has ordered the medicine and hopes to be able to offer it to customers by mid-April. Emily Kaltenbach of the New Mexico Drug Policy Alliance has been an advocate for more access to harm-reduction

services throughout New Mexico. As a result, the state was among the first to offer needle-exchange programs to combat hepatitis C and train addicts and their families directly on using Narcan. Now she advocates that Narcan should be a part of every first-aid kit — especially with long-term pain patients or households with an elderly patient. “There is always a risk of overdose when one is taking pain medicine. It’s really about educating all families,” she said. Kaltenbach said the effort with pharmacists really was driven by the public health community. “We’re still not dispensing in all of the state we need to be,” she said. “As more pharmacists get trained, this will open up some new doors in getting naloxone into the hands of those who really need it.” There is not currently a registry of pharmacists who have finished the training, and patients who want the option of Narcan should ask their pharmacist about its availability, Tinker said. Still, there are obstacles to wider distribution. One pharmacist already has said that a private insurance company denied a reimbursement for a Narcan prescription, Tinker said. Landen said preparations are almost complete for the state’s Centennial Care program (formerly Medicaid) to cover Narcan — perhaps as early as next month — and that would mean wider acceptance with private insurance companies. With more than 600,000 New Mexicans now on Medicaid, “that would be huge breakthrough,” Landen said. Contact Bruce Krasnow at brucek@ sfnewmexican.com.

Ban: City still has 5,000 free reusable bags Continued from Page A-1 a staffer to the store to check for compliance. A store owner will be issued a warning first, but can be fined up to $100 a day if the violation remains, Garcia said. “The ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of what’s going to the landfill, and also to create an incentive to have people utilize reusable bags,” Garcia said. The city has been issuing one reusable bag per family. As of Wednesday, approximately 12,000 bags had been provided to the public. There are still 5,000 bags left for pickup from Environmental Services, 1142 Siler Road, during business hours. Restaurants and nonprofits that serve the needy also are exempt. And stores still will be able to provide smaller bags for bulk items such as meat, produce and bakery goods. Bret Pipper, who also shopped at Albertsons on Wednesday, said he wasn’t even aware of the ordinance being approved until he went to a grocery store about a month ago and was given paper bags for his groceries. “They’re a pain in the rear,” he said. But he also said reusable bags are just as inconvenient because they have the potential to cross-contaminate if meats or produce leak in the bags. Angela Olsen, who lives in Los Alamos but was shopping at a local Wal-Mart on Wednesday, said she was aware of the ban but still opted to use paper bags. Even so, Olsen, who used to own a business in South Dakota, said she’s sympathetic to business owners who will have higher costs.

“I couldn’t believe how much I was spending on … paper bags,” she said. “And I really don’t think the consumers consider the cost … and the paper bag just gets thrown away.” The issue of making retailers charge for paper bags has arisen in other states, notably in Los Angeles County, Calif. In that case, an appeals court ruled that because the retailer was allowed to keep the 10-cent charge and no revenue was created for the government, the charge was not a tax. Other bans exist in Oregon, Texas, Iowa, New York, Massachusetts, Hawaii and Maryland. Councilor Ron Trujillo said the city

has no right to make retailers charge for paper bags, but he admitted the ordinance needs to be changed to meet its goal of reducing both plastic and paper bag waste. He said he isn’t against retailers charging for paper bags, if they want to offset the costs of paper. As part of the vote taken in February, the council agreed to revisit the issue in a year to check on the ordinance’s progress and its success. Trujillo said he would like to propose a ban on all plastic bags — not just bags that are less than 2.25 mils — if the city wants to become more “green friendly.” Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062.

NATO: Obama reassures nervous allies Continued from Page A-1 goal then for Obama, aides said, is to challenge Europe to take more of a leadership role itself, a familiar theme from Washington but one infused with new urgency by the Ukraine crisis. “Russia’s leadership is challenging truths that only a few weeks ago seemed self-evident,” Obama said in a speech here on Wednesday. “That in the 21st century, the borders of Europe cannot be redrawn with force; that international law matters; and that people and nations can make their own decisions about their future.” “The contest of ideas,” he added, “continues.” Julianne Smith, a former national security aide in Obama’s White House now at the Center for a New American Security, said she did not expect “a fundamental recalibration of U.S. foreign policy” toward Europe, but a more “symbolic” shift. But Russia’s actions in Ukraine appear to have sent an electric jolt through Obama and his team. At first, when a political crisis broke out in Kiev in November, he largely left the matter to Vice President Joe Biden. Since President Vladimir Putin ordered troops to seize Crimea, Obama has become increasingly engaged, blitzing foreign leaders with telephone calls, imposing sanctions and speaking out more frequently. To reassure nervous allies, he sent six extra F-15C Eagles to Lithuania and 12 F-16 fighter jets to Poland. Obama, who met here with Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the NATO secretarygeneral, will further bolster defenses in

Eastern Europe by rotating more ground and naval forces for exercises and training in Poland and the Baltic countries; updating contingency planning; and increasing the capacity of a NATO quickresponse force. “Putin just declared war on the European order, and it’s demanding that the United States focus on Europe again as a security issue,” said Damon Wilson, a former national security aide to Bush and now executive vice president of the Atlantic Council. While some Republicans have pushed the president to be tougher, Wilson praised Obama’s response. “I don’t think I’ve seen the president more personally engaged on any foreign policy crisis in a concerted way as he has been on Ukraine.” Obama’s speech here on Wednesday offered his most extensive rejoinder yet to Russia, a point-by-point refutation of every justification offered by Moscow for its seizure of Crimea. He rejected Putin’s comparison of his actions in Crimea to the West’s actions in Kosovo. He said Kremlin claims of persecution of Russian speakers in Ukraine were not true and called it “absurd” to suggest America supported fascists in Kiev. “No amount of propaganda can make right something that the world knows is wrong,” he said. Perhaps most strikingly for a Democrat who rose to prominence in part due to his opposition to the Iraq War, Obama took on and dismissed the Russian claim that the U.S. was hypocritical because it used force to dislodge Saddam Hussein. He reminded his audience that he spoke out against Bush’s decision to invade in 2003.

“But even in Iraq, America sought to work within the international system,” he said. “We did not claim or annex Iraq’s territory. We did not grab its resources for our own gain.” Obama also pivoted away from his own rhetoric in 2012, when he mocked Mitt Romney’s us-against-them assessment of Putin by suggesting it was old-world thinking at a time when history had largely moved on. Now, it was Obama who evoked history, visiting Flanders Field Cemetery, a burial ground in Belgium for thousands of Americans who died in World War I, and later recounting the “ongoing clash” of two sets of national ideas about power and values during the Cold War. “For decades, this vision stood in sharp contrast to life on the other side of an Iron Curtain,” Obama said, describing democratic ideals fostered by European countries. “For decades, a contest was waged, and ultimately that contest was won.” In his speech, the president called for a reaffirmation of Atlantic relationships, suggesting the Europeans and Americans had become complacent since the collapse of the Soviet Union. He said that “man’s darkest impulses” had returned to Europe and that Americans and their allies must not take the progress of the last 50 years for granted. “Casual indifference would ignore the lessons that are written in the cemeteries of this continent,” Obama said. “It would allow the old way of doing things to gain a foothold in this young century. And that message would be heard, not just in Europe but in Asia and the Americas, in Africa and the Middle East.”

If and when it appears there is no chance of finding someone, people can ask the county to start that process. In previous mudslides, many victims were left where they perished. Mudslides killed thousands in Venezuela in 1999, and about 1,500 bodies were found. But the death toll was estimated at 5,000 to 30,000, so the government declared entire neighborhoods “memorial grounds.” Two Washington National Guard Blackhawk helicopters arrived at the site Wednesday to relieve sheriff’s helicopter crews that had been working since Saturday. The Blackhawks’ sole mission is body removal, said Bill Quistorf, chief pilot for the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. Other survivors began to grow impatient Wednesday that they

weren’t allowed to return to the sites of their homes to search for their valuables and keepsakes. “This isn’t right. All of us who are still alive need to have access and find what we can of our lives,” said Robin Youngblood, who said her son-in-law was turned away from the slide site. As families grieved, officials were pressed again Wednesday about multiple reports from years ago that showed the potential for catastrophic landslides in the area. Pennington said authorities took steps to mitigate risks and warn people of potential dangers, especially after a 2006 landslide in the area. But the sheer size of this disaster was overwhelming. “It haunts me,” a sometimes-

Big-spending bishop in Germany resigns By Melissa Eddy

As of Wednesday, there were 90 people confirmed missing after a massive landslide Saturday in Washington state. John Pennington, director of emergency management for Snohomish County, said the timing of the slide was particularly worrying. Had it occurred on a weekday at the same time, many people may have been at work; instead, on a Saturday morning, more people were likely to be in their homes.

ON GT IN RL

DARRINGTON, Wash. — Becky Bach watches and waits, hoping that search crews find her brother and three other relatives who are missing in Washington state’s deadly mudslide. Doug Massingale waits too, for word about his 4-month-old granddaughter. Searchers were able to identify carpet from the infant’s bedroom, but a log jam stood in the way of a more thorough effort to find little Sanoah Huestis, known as “Snowy.” With little hope to cling to, family members of the missing are beginning to confront a grim reality: Their loved ones might never be found, remaining entombed forever inside a mountain of mud that is believed to have claimed more than 20 lives. “It just generates so many questions if they don’t find them,” Bach said. “I’ve never known anybody to die in a natural disaster. Do they issue death certificates?” Search crews using dogs, bulldozers and their bare hands kept slogging through the mess of broken wood and mud again Wednesday, looking for more bodies or anyone who might still be alive nearly five days after a wall of fast-moving earth destroyed a small rural community. But authorities have acknowledged they might have to leave some victims buried in the debris some 55 miles northeast of Seattle. Authorities on Wednesday reduced to number of people missing to 90. That number had been fluctuating — at one point reaching as high as 220 — but authorities were able to verify that dozens of people once reported missing had been located, Snohomish County Emergency Management Director John Pennington said. Besides the 90 confirmed missing, authorities are looking into a list of 35 people who may or may not have been in the area at the time of the slide, Pennington said. No victims were recovered Wednesday, leaving the official death toll at 16, with an additional eight bodies located but not recovered, he said. Authorities said they expected to update the official toll Thursday morning. Trying to recover every corpse would be impractical and dangerous. The debris field is about a square mile and 30 to 40 feet deep in places, with a moon-like surface that includes quicksandlike muck, rain-slickened mud and ice. The terrain is difficult to navigate on foot and makes it treacherous or impossible to bring in heavy equipment. To make matters worse, the pile is laced with other hazards that include fallen trees, propane and septic tanks, twisted vehicles and countless shards of shattered homes. “We have to get on with our lives at some point,” said Bach, who has spent the past several days in the area in hopes that searchers would find her brother, his wife, her 20-year-old great niece and the young girl’s fiancé. The knowledge that some victims could be abandoned to the earth is difficult to accept. “Realistically … I honestly don’t think they’re going to find them alive,” Bach said, crying. “But as a family, we’re trying to figure out what to do if they find no bodies.” Bach spoke via phone about a wedding the family had planned for summer at the rural home that was destroyed. And how, she wondered, do you plan a funeral without a body? “We’ll probably just have a memorial, and if they find the bodies eventually, then we’ll deal with that then.” A death certificate, issued by the state, is legal proof that someone has died. Families often need them to settle their affairs. The authority to issue them starts with a county medi-

emotional Pennington told reporters. “I think we did what we could do. Sometimes large slides happen.” Massingale said he’s grateful that his daughter, Natasha Huestis, survived the slide. She had gone to Arlington that morning and left her baby with her mother, Christina Jefferds. Her husband Seth, a volunteer firefighter, was also away at the time. “She didn’t suffer,” Massingale said after he was told about Christina’s death. Massingale said he would miss his first grandchild, a sweet, pretty and smiley child. “It’s stressful to think about,” he said. “A little baby that hasn’t gotten a start yet in life. It’s too much.”

BERLIN — Pope Francis on Wednesday accepted the resignation of Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, the bishop of Limburg, whose extravagant spending on renovations for his personal residence angered his congregation and ran afoul of the pontiff’s message of humility and modesty for the Roman Catholic Church. The Holy See accepted the German bishop’s offer to resign, “given that it has come to a situation in the Limburg diocese that prevents FranzPeter Tebartz-van Elst from fruitfully carrying out his duties,” the Vatican said in a statement Wednesday. After mounting criticism over spiraling costs, the Limburg diocese confirmed in October that Tebartz-van Elst, 54, had poured at least 31 million euros (about $43 million) into the renovation of his residence and church buildings. The costs had originally been estimated at 5.5 million euros. Last fall, the German news media carried reports of exorbitant indulgences by the bishop, including 15,000 euros on a bathtub and the costly reopening of the roof of his personal chapel to allow for the suspension of an enormous cross. As discontent over the allegations mounted, the bishop

traveled to the Vatican in October and offered his resignation to the pope. Francis suspended him at the time, pending the outcome of an investigation. The Vatican said Wednesday that the bishop would be assigned another position in the church, but declined to give further details. Germany’s conference of bishops said it welcomed the pope’s decision and vowed to use the case to improve the church’s often opaque policymaking processes on financial and other important matters. “We clearly feel there is a widespread need for the decision-making bodies and structures of the Catholic Church, which have grown over centuries and have proven themselves in many cases, to be made more clear and accountable,” said Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the head of Germany’s conference of bishops. Lay groups also applauded the Vatican’s action as an important recognition of the discontent felt by many in German pews who view the Catholic Church as being out of touch with the reality of their lives and concerns. “Today’s decision will and must serve as a signal for the whole church,” said the liberal Catholic group We Are Church. “The monarchical view of a bishop’s office that is not founded on Christian beliefs is out of date.”

LOCAL NEWS Mental health provider to slash workers’ pay Agave Health cutting salaries by 5% over rising expenses, ‘insufficient productivity’ By Anne Constable The New Mexican

Agave Health Inc., which won a contract last year for up to $7.1 million to provide behavioral health services in New Mexico, is cutting its staff salaries by 5 percent across the board, according to a letter to employees. The New Mexico nonprofit was set up last year by Southwest Behavioral Health Systems, a large Arizona-based provider. Agave serves 14 communities in New Mexico. It has contracts with four managed care organizations to provide services for Centennial Care clients (formerly Medicaid) and with OptumHealth for other consumers.

Agave’s letter to workers says it is cutting salaries of 350 employees because of increased expenses and “insufficient productivity” since Jan. 1. The salary cut is effective April 5. The nonprofit also is cutting its mileage reimbursement for workers from the IRS standard of 56 cents per mile to 25 cents per mile and is postponing any merit increases for supervisory and management staff until the end of the year. The letter to employees mentions the nonprofit plans to consolidate functions and reassign duties, as well. Dr. Heath Kilgore, Agave’s CEO and an Arizona-licensed psychologist, did not return a call seeking comment. In the letter to employees, he said, “We sincerely regret having to take these cost-saving measures, and we understand the impact this will have on each of you.” In comments to the news organization

New Mexico in Depth via email, Kilgore said, “We have had a challenging transition in New Mexico. Agave hired and assembled staff from three companies into one. There have been adjustments needed to make this work.” Matt Kennicott, a spokesman for the state Human Services Department, which pays the managed care organizations that in turn contract with groups like Agave, said his original understanding was that the cut was only for administrative staff, but the letter refers to “all staff.” “We definitely monitor the level of services being provided and will continue to keep eye on that,” Kennicott said. He has said the total number of people receiving behavioral health services has increased 16 percent since a controversial decision by the department to freeze funding

Report: State saw casino revenue jump 7% in 2012 Figures show New Mexico gaming operations generated $864 million By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Indian gaming revenues in New Mexico outpaced the rest of the industry in 2012, according to a report released Wednesday. Revenue increased by 7 percent overall among the 25 Las Vegas-style casinos in New Mexico, while gambling revenues were up just 2 percent nationally, says the annual Casino Cities Indian Gaming Industry Report. The increase is well ahead of the 0.2 percent growth in total gross domestic product in New Mexico that year, and it pushed the state into sixth place among the 28 states where there are Indian casinos. The casinos owned by 14 tribes in New Mexico generated approximately $864 million in 2012, the report says. There was an increase that year in the number of slot machines and a decrease in the number of table games, the report says. But the revenue growth was due mainly to the opening of the Northern Edge Casino near Farmington by the Navajo Nation in January 2012, said Alan Meister, the report’s author. In addition, the Jicarilla Apache Nation opened a casino in May 2012, which replaced a gaming facility that had closed in December 2011, Meister pointed out. Some of New Mexico tribes that operate casinos have suggested recently that the gaming industry in the state is saturated. They used that argument during the past legislative session to persuade lawmakers to reject a new gambling compact that would have allowed the Navajo Nation to build additional casinos in the state. Referring to the findings of the new report, Meister said, “I wouldn’t put it that these numbers contradict what the tribes are saying.” He said a large amount of the revenue growth is coming from the new and reopened gambling facilities and “not from the existing facilities.” He also said the report only looks at 2012 figures, and growth since then could have been stagnant. According to the report, the industry’s prior revenue growth was 0.4 percent in 2010 and 2.2 percent in 2011. New Mexico ranked 16th and 12th during those years among states with Indian casinos.

County commissioners enact early open-fire ban By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

Santa Fe County commissioners banned open fires Tuesday due to ongoing dry conditions, one sign fire season is just around the corner. Smoking outside a vehicle or enclosed building and burning trash or weeds also are banned under the emergency ordinance approved by commissioners. “We didn’t have much of a winter and that along with anticipated dry conditions in future months, increased the need to be cautious much earlier than before,” county Fire Chief David Sperling said in a statement. “We have never imposed an ordinance this early in the year, but it is necessary if we are to be diligent in preventing a catastrophic fire from occurring.” The ordinance also temporarily bans open burn permits and all off-road vehicles and motorcycles in county parks, camp-

grounds and wildlands. Open burn permits already issued for the next 30 days are void under the ordinance. The city and county have each had a small brush fire in the last couple of weeks. And although the wildfires were quickly tamed by firefighters, they were a reminder of the pending fire season. The city of Santa Fe has banned open fires within municipal limits for years. “In the city, you can never burn weeds,” said Jan Snyder, assistant fire chief and public information officer for the city fire department. “The city is constantly at a higher level of restrictions than the county.” Some limited open fires are allowed with a city permit for religious events. An application for a burn permit must be filed with the city at least three days before the event. The city and other agencies are training seasonal firefighters and preparing for the season ahead. The city’s firefighters are

all trained in both structural and wildland firefighting skills. The city also has a crew of firefighters who will go to residents’ properties and evaluate their fire risks. The assessment helps homeowners know what they can do to make their properties and homes more resistant to wildfires, such as thinning out trees, trimming branches away from exterior walls and moving all flammable materials away from structures. Snyder said it’s important to start preparing for fires now, with windy and warmer spring weather likely increasing the risks ahead. “Don’t be deceived by the snow in the mountains. Don’t be deceived by the cold weather,” he said. “It only takes five hours of sunlight to change grass from moist to a fire hazard.” Snyder said residents can stay abreast of fire warnings and events by following the department on Twitter and Facebook. “They’ve been amazingly popular,” he said. Fire season also is a reminder

to stay prepared for emergencies of any kind. Emergency managers recommend having three gallons of water per person, extra food, medicines, a first-aid kit, pet food, clothes, a flashlight with fresh batteries and copies of important documents in an easyto-access location, in case you need to evacuate quickly. Keep a list of emergency numbers handy and agree ahead of time with family members where to meet in case of an evacuation.

ALBUQUERQUE — The Albuquerque Police Department came under new scrutiny Wednesday after officers shot and killed a man outside a public housing complex in the second deadly encounter in the last 10 days. Police said the man was shot Tuesday night after he opened fire on officers responding to a frantic call from a woman who said the suspect had pointed a gun at two girls. During the 911 call played to reporters, children can be heard crying in the background. The family of the man, identified as Alfred Redwine, however, insisted he was not armed and only had a cellphone in his hand. But Police Chief Gorden Eden Alfred released video from an officer’s lapel Redwine camera indicating shots had been fired from somewhere before police opened fire. “Put the gun down now, Alfred!” police are heard shouting a number of times, before one officer is seen ducking in response to loud pops. Eden also showed pictures of the suspect’s gun with three spent casings, but he could not say how many rounds Redwine fired. Still, it’s too soon to know if the shooting was justified, Eden said. The shooting came just hours after hundreds of people took to the streets to protest Albuquerque police fatally shooting a homeless camper in the Sandia foothills March 16, the 36th shooting involving police since 2010. A group reported to be the international cyberactivist hackers Anonymous posted a YouTube video threatening a cyberattack against the city over the foothills shooting, calling officers “militarized thugs.” City Attorney Rob Perry said officials were taking the threat very seriously and are putting in place various security measures. “We respect this group,” Perry said. “They have an ability to get into highly, federally protected computer systems … and we’re going to do what we can to guard against the problem.”

LOCAL & REGION

Casino: Revenue has grown nationwide Continued from Page A-6 Skip Sayre, chief of sales and marketing for the Laguna Development Corp., said the independent report supports the argument that New Mexico can’t absorb more casinos. “I think there’s indicators in the report that confirm the facts that we were able to present [during the legislative session],” said Sayre, whose pueblo spoke against the Navajo Nation’s proposed gaming compact. The future of Indian gaming depends on the return of consumer confidence, the report says. Revenue has grown steadily at tribal casinos nationwide,

from $121 million in 1988 to more than $28 billion in 2012. But with casino growth, revenue that surged by as much as 148 percent in 1989 has sputtered, dropping below 10 percent each year beginning in 2007. Part of the reason has been the recession and weak recovery, but much of it can be blamed on the rising number of casinos. “There’s only so much gambling that can be done, only so much disposable income,” Meister said. “You’re adding more and more gambling competing for the same dollars.” The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Slash: Pay cut to be ‘hardship’ for workers Continued from Page A-6 for 15 behavioral health providers after an audit reportedly found evidence of Medicaid fraud. A Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services report, however, claims that the number of patients receiving services in the four months after the shakeup declined 23 percent. One person familiar with the Agave operation in Santa Fe said many of the staff who work directly with troubled children are single mothers, and the 5 percent pay cut will be a “hardship” for them. Some of them work one-on-one with

clients. Jim Cooney, a volunteer with New Mexicans Fighting to Save Behavioral Health, said, “I think there will be people who will have to look for employment elswhere. They operate on razor-thin margins.” In “whittling down their compensation,” Cooney added, “The only thing I can be certain of is that this is not going to improve service to thousands of New Mexicans. It’s all bad news.” According to its website, Agave now has openings in New Mexico for two levels of adult therapists and a program support specialist.

Shooting: AG King to investigate string of APD shootings Continued from Page A-6 In the foothills shooting, authorities said James Boyd, 38, died after officers fired stun guns, bean bags and six live rounds. Police said Boyd had threatened to kill officers and held onto knives as an unarmed K-9 officer approached him. But a helmet-camera video showed Boyd gathering his belongings then turning away right before officers fired. The shooting followed a long standoff during which Boyd claimed he was a federal government agent. New Mexico Attorney General Gary King announced Wednesday that his office has launched an investigation into both of the fatal shootings this month to provide “an objective unbiased external assessment.” The U.S. Department of Justice also has been investigating the embattled department for more than a year, and Mayor Richard Berry asked Justice Department officials to add the Boyd shooting to its ongoing probe. In addition, Berry has asked the Las Cruces Police Department to join a fiveagency investigation into the shooting. But Las Cruces police announced Wednesday it would not join the investigation because the department had not been at the scene. Redwine died Wednesday morning at a hospital, Albu-

querque police spokesman Tasia Martinez said. “He did not have a gun. He only had a cellphone,” said his sister, Tammy Redwine, 34. “I know because I was talking to him and telling him to come out and talk to the police.” Her brother was with her two sons, 10 and 13, she said. Ernie Garcia, 43, Tammy Redwine’s boyfriend, said before police arrived, the 30-year-old had gotten into a dispute with neighbors who were partying next to his mother’s vehicle. When police arrived, Redwine didn’t come out “because he was scared of police,” Garcia said. “He’s had his problem with the law,” Garcia said. Redwine’s last encounter with law enforcement was March 7, when he was arrested for a probation violation involving his guilty plea to charges that included assault with a deadly weapon, Eden said. Officers have been called to various domestic-abuse cases involving Redwine, he added. The shootings come just weeks after Eden, the former head of the state Department of Public Safety, took over the troubled department, which critics say has fostered a culture of abuse and excessive force. Right now, Eden said he is doing his best to assess the “department from top to bottom.”

Councilor wants to take city meetings on road By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

City Councilor Ron Trujillo wants to take City Hall on the road. Trujillo introduced a resolution Wednesday asking city staff to study the possibility of holding council meetings in other parts of Santa Fe besides downtown at City Hall. “It’s just saying for staff to look at the feasibility of holding a City Council meeting at least once a year in each district to increase participation to those residents of those districts,” he said. “I’m just thinking maybe one a year in each district.” For example, the city might consider holding a council meeting in a particular

council district if there’s a big issue on the agenda facing that district, such as a proposal to install a cellphone tower, he said. “Sometimes there’s issues, and you only Ron Trujillo see certain people constantly coming to the meetings,” Trujillo said. “I’ve heard from a lot of people who say, ‘Sometimes it’s hard for me to get to that part of town.’ I understand. Kids. Families. You’ve got things to do.” Trujillo said he got the idea from Jeff Green and Joe Arellano, who ran unsuccessfully for a council seat in the March

4 municipal election. “It came from them,” he said. “I spoke to both of them and said, ‘That’s a wonderful idea.’ ” Trujillo said council meetings have been held outside of City Hall before. “When I first got on council, we had a meeting at the old Alameda Junior High School. We had meetings at the convention center,” he said. “It’s not unheard of. We’ve done it.” Trujillo said the resolution calls for city staff to research the logistics, including broadcasting the meetings, which are televised live. “This resolution asks staff to look at these issues. It’s not set in stone that we’re going to do it,” he said.

In brief City delays vote on new busker ordinance The City Council postponed for 30 days a vote Wednesday on a proposed rewrite of an ordinance regulating street performers in Santa Fe. The council voted 6-1 on the postponement. City Councilor Chris Rivera, who cast the lone dissenting vote, said former City Councilor Chris Calvert had worked on the proposed changes for more than a year and had done his due diligence. “It’s not perfect,” Rivera said before the vote. “I don’t think it ever will be perfect, but it’s probably better than what’s on the books now.” The postponement came after several people said they had been left out of the process even though the city has held numerous meetings on the issue, which also has been publicized in local newspapers. “This is poorly designed … and not democratic because the buskers did not have an opportunity to participate,” busker Michael Combs told councilors. As part of the council’s motion, the city will hold another public meeting to get more public input and try to build consensus among all stakeholders, including buskers and vendors on the Plaza. That meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. April 10 in council chambers at City Hall, 200 Lincoln Ave. The council will vote on the proposed amendments to the existing busking ordinance April 30.

A nonbinding resolution opposing a plan by Public Service Company of New Mexico to retire two units at a coal-fired power plant and replace the electricity with nuclear power and natural gas was approved Wednesday by the City Council. The resolution, approved on a 7-0 vote, with City Councilor Patti Bushee absent, states that the proposed closure of the two units “presents a critical opportunity to transition away from fossil fuels” and “rapidly deploy renewable energy technologies.” The resolution also opposes PNM’s request to raise customers’ rates so it can recoup the investment it made in the two coal-fired units, which PNM proposes to retire at the San Juan Generating Station in the Four Corners area. “The fight doesn’t end here. It continues with the PRC,” City Councilor Chris Rivera said, referring to the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, which must approve PNM’s plan. “That’s where the fight really is.” More than a dozen people spoke in favor of the resolution, including former City Councilor Chris Calvert. “Unfortunately, I think that PNM has taken what I would call the easier, lazy route. In other words, this is the easiest thing for them to do, and they can just pass the cost along to the consumer,” Calvert said. “We always refer to them as PNM. But their name is Public Service Company of New Mexico, and so I think

we would like them to do a public service and rethink their plan.” In a letter to Mayor Javier Gonzales, PNM said it appreciated the city’s participation in the PRC process but “respectfully” decided not to attend Wednesday’s hearing. “The issues are complex and cannot be completely vetted at a City Council meeting,” Gerald Ortiz, PNM’s vice president of regulatory affairs, wrote in the letter. “We believe the appropriate venue for a detailed review of our plan is at the PRC.”

Wolves, ranchers ‘coexist’ under plan ALBUQUERQUE — A volunteer panel of ranchers, environmentalists and county officials from New Mexico and Arizona has unveiled a plan to help ranchers and Mexican gray wolves coexist. The plan was announced Tuesday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It aims to reduce conflicts among wolves and livestock as the federal government tries to reintroduce the predator to its historic range in the Southwest. The Mexican Wolf/Livestock Coexistence Council says the plan provides the basis for distributing money from a trust fund that was set up to reimburse ranchers for livestock deaths and to pay for measures to scare wolves away from livestock and populated areas. The simple presence of wolves also can trigger payments based on a formula that considers several factors, including whether a rancher’s land overlaps wolf territory.

Hearing set for boy in Roswell shooting ROSWELL — A judge will hold a hearing Friday on whether a 12-year-old boy is competent to stand trial in a Jan. 14 middle school shooting in which two other students were wounded.

District Court Judge Freddie Romero will preside over the hearing for the boy, who is charged with three counts of aggravated battery in a deadly weapon in Berrendo Middle School’s gym. A 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl were seriously wounded when the defendant allegedly fired a shotgun that he had taken to school. Authorities have said a teacher at the school talked the shooter into dropping the shotgun. The boy would stand trial as a juvenile. Under New Mexico law, the state can charge minors as adults only if they are at least 14 The Associated Press is not identifying the boy because of his age.

Bill limits presidential powers on monuments By Matthew Daly

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and his successors would see their ability to designate new national monuments limited under a bill approved Wednesday by the House. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, takes aim at the 1906 Antiquities Act, a law Obama and other presidents have used to protect historic or ecologically significant sites. The bill would require an environmental review — including public comments — before a president could designate monuments larger than 5,000 acres. Presidents would be limited to one monument per state for each four-year term Bishop and other Republicans have

complained that Obama has designated a half-dozen monuments in the past year without input from Congress, including a significant expansion of a national monument along the Pacific Ocean in California this month. The March 11 action permanently protects about 1,665 acres of federal lands near Point Arena, 130 miles north of San Francisco. The House approved the bill, 222-201. Three Democrats joined 219 Republicans in favor of the bill. Ten Republicans opposed it, along with 191 Democrats. The Obama administration opposes the legislation, which is unlikely to come up for a vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Bishop, chairman of the House Natural Resources public lands subcommittee, said national monuments created by Congress are required to go

through a process that includes an environmental review and public comments. “It’s common sense that the public should be involved regardless of whether Congress or the president initiates the designation,” Bishop said, calling the vote in favor of the bill “a win for the American people.” Opponents said the bill was unnecessary, noting that presidents from both parties have used the 1906 law to create national monuments, including the Grand Canyon, Grand Teton and Statue of Liberty. Many monuments were later converted into national parks. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., said Republicans have turned their backs on the conservation legacy of President Theodore Roosevelt, who designated the first national monument, Devils Tower in Wyoming, in 1906.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Parents cannot live separately Dear Annie: My parents are both in their 80s and don’t get around well anymore. Dad has a history of verbal (sometimes physical) abuse, and Mom has always put up with it. Recently, Mom has been cornering family members and telling them how crazy Dad is, that he screams at her all the time, hits her with his cane and pinches her. We had a domestic relations caseworker come to the house when Dad wasn’t home, and Mom told the caseworker that everything was fine and not to come back. She told me Dad would be upset if he found out. My mother is in better physical shape than Dad, and I’m quite sure she could hurt him if she chose to. But she is becoming forgetful and making mental errors. She blames it on living with Dad. My father cannot deal with her mind going, so he yells at her even more. Despite that, she continues to make him dinner, put on his shoes and help him get around. My wife and I have begged her to come live with us, but she refuses. She wants us to tell Dad’s doctor that he is crazy. I don’t think he’s crazy. He’s a depressed man whose body is failing. He was prescribed antidepressants, but won’t take them. Mom tells Dad that she’s sick of him, and he says he can’t stand looking at her. But apparently, they can’t live without each other. Any advice? — Help Dear Help: Some couples fall into a dysfunctional pattern of behavior and cannot envision living any other way. You cannot force Mom to confirm abuse to the authorities, nor can you make Dad take his antidepressants. Nonetheless, if your mother is showing signs of dementia, and Dad is abusive, you need to be more proactive. Ask each parent whether you can accompany them to their doctor for a checkup. That will give you the opportunity to discuss

the problem. You also can write the physician or call and leave a message with all the pertinent information. Please keep an eye on their situation, be attentive to Mom’s complaints, and try to get both of them out of the house, individually, as often as possible. Dear Annie: How does one get a job in this century? Is it enough to send online applications and not follow up with a phone call or a visit to the business? Please help. — A Wife Dear Wife: Send applications in whatever form the company requests (most now prefer them to be online). If you do not hear back within 10 days that the application was received, follow up with a phone call or an email. If the company does not let you know whether or not they are interested within another two weeks, call or email again. Make sure your resume is current and include a cover letter. You also can check at your local library for assistance in putting the materials together and navigating the application process. Good luck. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Concerned Mother,” who wants her son to notify her when he’s going out of town. If those people are in their 80s, it means their son is in his 60s. They don’t have any reason to need to know where he is. If he has a note in his wallet that says “in case of an emergency” and a contact, that’s plenty. When do you get to live your own life? This is not a “close” family. This is suffocating. Old folks, go play golf. Take up bridge. — Betsey Dear Betsey: Parents don’t stop worrying about their children the day they reach adulthood. They always want to know that the kids are safe, especially when they are traveling and can’t be reached. How hard is it to reassure the folks with a call saying, “I’ll be in Italy for a week”?

Obama pens letter to S.F. student President encourages Capshaw student to help animals in need The New Mexican

Hanna Montaño was so upset when she learned about horse slaughtering that she quickly got a petition going to stop the practice. And she wrote a letter to President Barack Obama, telling him just what she felt about animal abuse. The Capshaw Middle School student had no trouble getting almost 50 signatures against horse slaughter and, much to her surprise, the president sent a response to her letter, along with his portrait. “I felt like a million dollars,” the 13-year-old said. “I showed it to everybody. I had a lot of people tell me — and I didn’t understand them — that they are so glad to know me now.” Hanna has a flare with animals, said her grandmother, Patricia Lopez, training her dog, Jack, on an agility course, and has a deep love of horses. Hanna started riding lessons when she was 6 years old and is now a jumper. “I ride English,” she said. “I’ve fallen in love with it more and more and actually am doing horse shows now.” She saw a video about horse slaughter and couldn’t believe

what was happening to horses, she said, which prompted her to work against the practice. “It’s terrible,” she said. In the letter, Obama thanks Hanna for her note and writes that he has heard from many young people about animals they care about. “It’s up to all of us to be good stewards of the world we live in,” he wrote. “One thing that

means is we need to do everything we can to protect wildlife and its habitat. It also means taking good care of animals in our own neighborhoods — especially those that still need loving homes.” He finishes the letter by encouraging Hanna to talk to adults and see if there are ways to help animals in the community. “By coming together

behind causes we believe in, we can make a lasting change.” Hanna, who now has the letter and portrait in a special scrapbook, said she considers horse slaughter animal abuse. She hopes to work more against all forms of animal abuse. “It’s not right,” she said, “and we need to stop it. This really inspires me to do more things for animals.”

makes Emma a hero is that she loves to go to the bank. She wants to know the money is safe and the firm is stable. Well, she also gets treats. Nellie was not impressed. “We’re Swiss. Don’t talk to us about banks.” OK. Our dogs are a tough crowd. How about a dog they know? Snow Flower is an Australian Labradoodle who works four days a week at Bodhi Bazaar, next to Teca Tu, my wife Laurie’s store. Tank looked at me, “She’s way out of our league.” Yes, she is Tank, yes she is. She’s the famous greeter of Bodhi’s. Rosalie Rosenberg, the owner of Bodhi’s, said Snow Flower has taken on the persona of the store. She’s elegant, yet friendly and outgoing. She normally lounges in her chair by the entryway, but she’ll often go out of the store and buttonhole potential clients. First, she loves people to pet her. Then, once she’s built a relationship, she turns toward the store and invites them in. “High fashion can be intimidating,” Rosenberg said. “Snow Flower makes it more approachable and heartwarming.” Tank looked at me. “Look at me! I’m heartwarming! Watch me drool. Warming hearts every day!” Time for the big guns: Sometimes working dogs come in small packages. Layla, a Chihuahua, essentially proves that any dog can go to work. Layla runs the life of Molly Norton, tasting room and events manager for Santa Fe Spirits. The Santa Fe Spirits’ tasting room is on Read Street in downtown Santa Fe.

This brings us to Layla. Imagine a Chihuahua who has channeled the spirit of an 85-year-old hostess who’s seen everything and is not impressed by anything. Imagine a voice husky from smoking in the ’60s and drugs in the ’70s. Last time we were there, I swear I heard Layla say, “Get in here. Whadda ya need, an invitation? Do you think I’m gonna rollover over or wag my tail if you pet me? For Pete’s sake, come in, get a drink, pay your bill and get me a treat. Jeez. Then leave. Hells bells.” Layla will work the room, a tiny whiskey barrel attached to her collar. The weird thing about Layla, and it could be a sign of the aging of her spirit human, is she seems to have amnesia. She’ll jump up on the lap of a patron, sit there for a while, and then jump down and a minute later start barking at the same person. But at least she’s working! Upon hearing this, Nellie gave me a look that said, “You want to see crabby? Try telling one more story about working dogs … ” On the other hand, Tank sleeps at my feet when I write, and Nellie sits on my lap when we watch Game of Thrones because it scares her. Maybe I should just appreciate what I have. After all, dogs who clean dishes and then nap, may not the worst thing in the world.

SAN FRANCISCO — Tourists who lean against the wind as they cross the Golden Gate Bridge may miss the slow-moving woman without a purse or the solo man without a camera or running shoes. Last year was a record: Forty-six people plunged to their deaths from the majestic orange bridge. Bridge workers stopped 118 others. That is a suicide or an attempt almost every other day at what is the most popular suicide spot in the nation, and among the most popular in the world. Unlike the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Golden Gate lacks a suicide barrier. For 60 years, the directors of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, reflecting the live-andlet-live ethos that animates this city, never agreed to build a barrier. Now, with the numbers of suicides rising — the country has more annually than traffic fatalities — and the ages of those jumping here declining, they are moving forward. As early as late May, the directors are expected to reverse long-standing policy and vote in favor of using toll money in addition to federal and state funds for a suicide barrier. Tolls pay for bridge maintenance and subsidize bus and ferry services. The plan calls for a $66 million stainless-steel net system 20 feet below the sidewalk. Over the years, much concern has been expressed about marring the bridge’s beauty; the barrier will be invisible from most angles. Many critics continue to assert that suicidal people will always find another way. Experts who have appeared before the board explained that the suicidal impulse is typically fleeting. Denis J. Mulligan, general manager of the Golden Gate Bridge district who has championed the barrier, recognizes the public’s ambivalence. “Some of my friends say, ‘It’s great,’ ” Mulligan said. “Others say, ‘Why are you doing this?’ ” State Assemblyman Tom Ammiano said, “A lot of liberal people are not educated around this issue.” They support affirmative action and gay rights, he said, but when he mentions a suicide barrier, they say, “What? But I love the bridge.” Ammiano, angered that the bridge board on which he once served has moved so slowly as people continue to die, called the bridge “a public health hazard.” Eve R. Meyer, executive director of San Francisco Sui-

A crisis and emergency call box on the Golden Gate Bridge.

cide Prevention, said the popular argument was based on ignorance. “Scientific evidence says a barrier reduces suicides, because thoughts of suicide are transient,” she said. For years, she said, when she raised the issue of a barrier before the board, she was shunned. Dr. Mel Blaustein, medical director of psychiatry at St. Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco and an early proponent of a barrier, said, “Young people think the bridge is a perfect place to go.” People see jumping off the bridge as an easy way to die, he said. “There is a misconception that it’s painless.” Those who jump plummet 220 feet and typically suffer rib collapse on impact, lacerating lungs and other internal organs, said Ken Holmes, the retired Marin County coroner who saw so many bodies of bridge suicides that he became a major crusader for a barrier. He said they died of internal bleeding or drowning. Blaustein said, “The most common myth to explode is that people will go elsewhere.” In a 1978 study, “Where Are They Now?” Richard H. Seiden, a former professor at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health, looked at the question of whether some-

one prevented from committing suicide in one place would go somewhere else. He studied people who had attempted suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge from 1937 to 1971 and found that more than 90 percent were still alive in 1978. Mulligan says he believes that the board “has become more informed” and that the stories parents tell about the loss of their children have made a difference. Every year, there are more parents. Suicides off the Golden Gate Bridge are trending younger. Until recently, the largest group of Golden Gate Bridge suicides was ages 35 to 45, said Capt. Lisa Locati of the Golden Gate Bridge, who oversees bridge security. “Now, it’s 20- to 30-year-olds,” she said. On Sept. 20, Kyle Gamboa, 18, of Fair Oaks, Calif., skipped school. The funny, confident, 5-foot-6 captain of his basketball team had repeatedly watched the trailer for The Bridge, a documentary about suicides at the Golden Gate Bridge. He got into his truck, stopped at McDonald’s for an Egg McMuffin with bacon, and drove the 110 miles to the bridge. He turned on his truck’s emergency lights, got out and jumped, yelling “Yahoo!”

on the way down. At the last board meeting, Kyle’s father, Manuel Gamboa Jr., took off his New York Giants baseball cap and positioned his son’s school picture to face board members as he had done many times before. “You already heard my story,” he said. Since November, Gamboa has driven to the Golden Gate Bridge district building, next to the bridge, to speak at every board meeting. Gamboa still cannot read Kyle’s suicide note, which said: “I’m happy. I thought this was a good place to end.” “He wouldn’t have died that day if there had been something there,” Gamboa said in an interview. “The bridge is a sieve in the mental health world,” said Holmes, the retired Marin County coroner. “Anyone can fall through during a momentary crisis.” In 1995, when the number of bridge suicides approached 1,000 and a radio disc jockey offered a case of Snapple to the family of the 1,000th jumper, Holmes, then assistant coroner, contacted the radio station and persuaded local newspapers to stop reporting totals because he did not want to encourage more suicides. He came to believe that reporting annual — but not total — suicide numbers was important. When he retired and the Marin County coroner’s office quit tracking annual bridge suicides, Holmes and other members of the Bridge Rail Foundation, an advocacy group that publicizes annual bridge statistics and encourages a growing number of bereaved parents to tell their stories, did their own annual compilations. Since the bridge was built in 1937, they count 1,600 suicides. During one 24-hour period last July, there were four, Locati said.

COMMENTARY: THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

Putin’s Crimea victory? Not so fast

ne thing I learned covering the Middle East for many years is that there is “the morning after” and there is “the morning after the morning after.” Never confuse the two. The morning after a big event is when fools rush in and declare that someone’s victory or defeat in a single battle has “changed everything forever.” The morning after the morning after, the laws of gravity start to apply themselves; things often don’t look as good or as bad as you thought. And that brings me to Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea. The morning after, he was the hero of Russia. Some moronic commentators here even expressed the wish that we had such a “decisive” leader. Well, let’s see what Putin looks like the morning after the morning after, say, in six months. I make no predictions, but I will point out this. Putin is challenging three of the most powerful forces on the planet all at once: human nature, Mother Nature and Moore’s Law. Good luck with that. Putin’s seizure of Crimea certainly underscores the enduring power of geography in geopolitics. Russia is a continental country, stretching across a huge landmass, with few natural barriers to protect it. Every Kremlin leader — from the czars to the commissars to the crooks — has been obsessed about protecting Russia’s periphery from would-be invaders. Russia has legitimate security interests, but this episode is not about them. This recent Ukraine drama did not start with geography — with an outside power trying to get into Russia, as much as Putin wants to pretend that it did. This story started with people inside Russia’s orbit trying to get out. A large number of Ukrainians wanted to hitch their economic future to the European Union and not to Putin’s Potemkin Eurasian Union. This story, at its core, was ignited and propelled by human nature — the enduring quest by people to realize a better future for themselves and their kids — not by geopolitics, or even that much

OUR VIEW

Antiquities Act matters for nation

F nationalism. This is not an “invasion” story. This is an “Exodus” story. And no wonder. A recent article in Bloomberg Businessweek noted that, in 2012, GDP per person in Ukraine was $6,394 — some 25 percent below its level of nearly a quarter-century earlier. But if you compare Ukraine with four of its former communist neighbors to the west who joined the EU — Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania — “the average GDP per person in those nations is around $17,000.” Can you blame Ukrainians for wanting to join a different club? But Putin is also counting on the world doing nothing about Mother Nature, and Mother Nature taking that in stride. Some 70 percent of Russia’s exports are oil and gas, and they make up half of all state revenue. (When was the last time you bought something that was labeled “Made in Russia”?) Putin has basically bet his country’s economic present and future on hydrocarbons at a time when the chief economist of the International Energy Agency has declared that “about twothirds of all proven reserves of oil, gas and coal will have

to be left undeveloped if the world is to achieve the goal of limiting global warming at 2 degrees Celsius” since the Industrial Revolution. Crossing that 2-degrees line, say climate scientists, will dramatically increase the likelihood of melting the Arctic, dangerous sea level rises, more disruptive superstorms and unmanageable climate change. The former Saudi oil minister, Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, once warned his OPEC colleagues something Putin should remember: “The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stones.” It ended because we invented bronze tools, which were more productive. The hydrocarbon age will also have to end with a lot of oil, coal and gas left in the ground, replaced by cleaner forms of power generation, or Mother Nature will have her way with us. Putin is betting otherwise. How do you say Moore’s Law in Russian? That’s the theorem posited by Gordon Moore, an Intel co-founder, that the processing power of microchips will double roughly every two years. Anyone following the clean power industry today can tell you that there is something of a Moore’s

Law now at work around solar power, the price of which is falling so fast that more and more homes and even utilities are finding it as cheap to install as natural gas. Wind is on a similar trajectory, as is energy efficiency. China alone is on a track to be getting 15 percent of its total electricity production by 2020 from renewables, and it’s not stopping there. It can’t or its people can’t breathe. If America and Europe were to give even just a little more policy push now to renewables to reduce Putin’s oil income, these actions could pay dividends much sooner and bigger than people realize. The legitimacy of China’s leaders today depends, in part, on their ability to make their country’s power system greener so their people can breathe. Putin’s legitimacy depends on keeping Russia and the world addicted to oil and gas. Whom do you want to bet on? So, before we crown Putin the Time Person of the Year again, let’s wait and see how the morning after the morning after plays out. Thomas L. Friedman is the foreign-affairs columnist for The New York Times.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

or more than 100 years, Republican and Democratic presidents alike have used their authority under the Antiquities Act to preserve the greatest of America’s iconic lands and sites. Established by that superb conservationist, Republican President Teddy Roosevelt, the act has helped preserve such essential parts of the United States as the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty — and more recently in Northern New Mexico, the Río Grande del Norte Monument. It is ironic, then, that as New Mexico celebrates the oneyear anniversary of the Río Grande del Norte Monument’s establishment, some in Congress want to strip away the power of presidents to preserve. That bill, HR 1459, narrowly passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday. With Democrats in power in the Senate, it will go nowhere — but it’s smart to pay attention. Because Republican control of the Senate is possible after the mid-terms — and perhaps a Republican president in 2016 — bills such as this give us clues about the future. Should the GOP control both the legislative and administrative branches of government, it is likely that their beliefs about preservation (or exploitation) of wilderness and cultural properties will take precedence. The bill, titled “Ensuring Public Involvement in the Creation (EPIC) of National Monuments Act,” would limit presidents to just one new monument per four-year term, and introduce a number of regulatory roadblocks to make preservation difficult, if not impossible. It was introduced by U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah; New Mexico’s Rep. Ben Ray Luján spoke passionately against the bill. After all, one reason President Barack Obama has used the Antiquities Act is that Congress is doing little to protect wilderness and other properties. Except for one wilderness bill that became law earlier this month, Congress had not protected any new public lands since 2009. That’s the longest gap since World War II. Presidential action, though, continues to set aside lands in New Mexico — and we trust that President Obama soon will sign an order to establish the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument in Southern New Mexico as well. The Antiquities Act matters to New Mexico. The designation of the Río Grande del Norte Monument, as predicted, has resulted in a 40 percent increase in visitation and significant economic activity in and around Taos, say its supporters. Taos lodgers’ tax revenue increased by 21 percent in the second half of 2013, compared to that same period in 2012. That added up to an increase of nearly $100,000. Gross receipts revenues in Taos County increased 8.3 percent, or $3.7 million, for businesses in the food services and accommodations sector over that same period. Some of this can be attributed to the new monument. The Republican approach — to stop protection of cultural properties and wilderness — is wrong for the country.

Constant fear: A potential dangerous environment

The past 100 years

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 27, 1964: Advertisement: Moore About Clothes — Did you ever stop to realize that men’s clothes are just about the ultimate in camouflage? They can make the slight man heftier, the bulky man slimmer, a short man taller, etc. It’s a tribute to the tailoring industry and to the men that know clothes that such transformations can be effected by selecting the proper models and styles available, augmented by skillful fitting. No one is fussier about fit than the men at Moore’s. March 27, 1989: Local opponents of the planned Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad want their voices heard in Washington, D.C. Joni Arends, the outreach coordinator for the Santa Fe watchdog group, Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, is looking for sponsors to send her and another CCNS activist to Washington for a week in early April. Arends wants to make the trip, estimated to cost about $1,200 per activist, to lobby legislators and meet with other environmental groups about WIPP.

ever give a fearful person a gun. The results tend to be fatal, as we have seen. Any “director” who instructs “always assume that the violator and all the occupants in the vehicle are armed” creates a fearful set of circumstances for everyone, and apparently feels pretty good about himself projecting his own image of power, and fear. Automatically assuming a person to be a “violator” sets the stage for the officer to be judge, jury and executioner in one fell swoop. We have seen plenty of that lately, in New Mexico and elsewhere, with no more shooting out tires or throwing a nail strip out to stop a vehicle. Instead, it’s just shoot the “violator,” children in the van or not. This country is becoming so afraid. We are all in mortal danger from those who fear everyone and everything and carry guns, police or not.

killed for speeding. We have had a police officer shooting at an unarmed woman and her family for a traffic violation. We now have heavily armed officers with stun bombs and a police dog shoot and kill a mentally ill camper who would not comply with their orders. (The first two incidents involved New Mexico State Police officers; the third, Albuquerque city police.) Is it not clear that our police need training? They need to realize their job is to serve people. They should not be told that every person is armed and will kill them. Maybe we need more women police, they tend to be community builders, not warriors out to fight citizens. Let us stand down our militarized police Train them to act and serve the community.

misconceptions regarding Santa Fe Public Schools teachers. The current calendar, while allowing for professional development and planning time on Fridays, doesn’t reduce the number of instructional minutes; it allows for collaboration and opportunities to learn more effective strategies to maximize instructional time, as well as planning/grading. That’s crucial, as I have 30 sixth-grade students. We teachers welcome curricular changes to improve student learning — but we need to learn how to implement it (duh). We embrace evaluations designed for constructive criticism versus punitive measures. Their most painful insinuation is that we don’t care about children because we expect to be paid for (at least some of) what we do every day. I spend hours after my contract hours working with students and going to workshops. The Grays are not only ignorant, but insulting. And where are you, Jim and Maggi? We could use some volunteers!

College athletes can unionize, federal agency says By Michael Tarm

The Associated Press

CHICAGO — In a stunning ruling that could revolutionize a college sports industry worth billions of dollars and have dramatic repercussions at schools coast to coast, a federal agency said Wednesday that football players at Northwestern University can create the nation’s first union of college athletes. The decision by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board answered the question at the heart of the debate over the unionization bid:

Labor board says Northwestern football players ‘fall squarely’ within the broad definition of an employee. Do football players who receive full scholarships to the Big Ten school qualify as employees under federal law and therefore can legally unionize? Peter Sung Ohr, the NLRB regional director, said in a 24-page decision that the players “fall squarely” within the broad definition of employee. Pro-union activists cheered as they

MEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT

learned of the ruling. “It’s like preparing so long for a big game and then when you win — it is pure joy,” said former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma, the designated president of Northwestern’s would-be football players’ union. An employee is regarded by law as someone who, among other things,

receives compensation for a service and is under the strict, direct control of managers. In the case of the Northwestern players, coaches are the managers and scholarships are a form of compensation, Ohr concluded. The Evanston, Ill., university argued that college athletes, as students, do not fit in the same category as factory workers, truck drivers and other unionized workers. The school announced plans to appeal to labor authorities in Washington, D.C. Supporters of the union bid argued that the university ultimately treats football as more important than aca-

demics for scholarship players. Ohr sided with the players. “The record makes clear that the employer’s scholarship players are identified and recruited in the first instance because of their football prowess and not because of their academic achievement in high school,” Ohr wrote. He also noted that among the evidence presented by Northwestern, “no examples were provided of scholarship players being permitted to miss entire practices and/or games to attend their studies.”

Aztecs, Wildcats meet again with more at stake

By Beth Harris

The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Arizona and San Diego State are back on familiar ground in the NCAA West Regional. Three years ago, both failed to advance out of the Sweet 16. This time, one of them is going home early again. Coach Steve Fisher has never watched the tape of the Aztecs’ loss to Connecticut as a No. 2 seed in the 2011 regional semifinals at Honda Center. Fourth-seeded SDSU (31-4) is back in the regional for the first time since then. “I still think we were better than Connecticut when they won the national championship,” Fisher said Wednesday. The top-seeded Wildcats (32-4) are playing in their third Sweet 16 in four years. Three years ago in Anaheim, they lost to UConn by two points in the regional final. Thursday night’s semifinal is a rematch between two teams that last played on Nov. 14, a lifetime ago in college basketball. The Wildcats won that road game 69-60 after leading by 14 points in the first half and then withstanding the Aztecs’ late rally that cut the deficit to four.

Tourney is back at NYC’s Garden March Madness returns to storied site in New York for first time since 1961 By Jim O’Connell

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Art Hyland was holding the program with the reverence it deserved. “I found this at home. Look at the quality of the paper. They don’t make them this way now,” he said, holding the black-and-white program from a basketball tripleheader that took place 53 years ago. Hyland played for Princeton that day in 1961 when the first round of the NCAA Tournament was held at Madison Square Garden. Nobody knew those three games would be the last in the NCAA Tournament at the “mecca” of college basketball until this weekend. Thick, ad-filled, glossy color programs will be available Friday night when top-seeded Virginia meets fourthseeded Michigan State and third-seeded Iowa State faces seventh-seeded Connecticut in the East Regional semifinals. It won’t be the same building — the “new” Madison Square Garden opened in 1968 and recently underwent a $1 billion transformation — but it’s the same stage. The arena that is still the center of the basketball world gets to again host the tournament that draws the attention of nonsports fans as well.

Santa Fe High’s Zack Grand won the 3,200-meter race Wednesday at the Santa Fe High Track complex. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

ack Grand was all by himself at the front of the pack Wednesday afternoon, but it’s who might be ahead of him down the road that keeps him focused. In what is building into a breakthrough track and field season for the Santa Fe High senior distance runner, Grand had no one who was his equal during the 3,200 meters at the Golden Spikes Classic at Santa Fe High, as he won the race going away. His time of 10 minutes, 29.39 seconds was 23 seconds better than Santa Fe Preparatory senior Jimmy Buchanan on a cold and blustery spring day. It was the kind of day that can test the mental toughness of a runner, especially one that was so far ahead of the rest of the field. It was the kind of race that made Grand remember past races in which he had the field lapped, but let his focus wander and it resulted in a less-than-stellar time. “It’s easy to zone out and lose your pace, and I’ve done that a couple of times,” Grand said. “A strategic thing I try to do is, the first 100 meters of every lap, I remind myself to stride out and speed up a couple of steps to keep up the pace.” The pace has been there for most of the season. Grand already broke the 10-minute barrier when he opened the season with a 9:57.24 mark in the 3,200 at the Bernalillo Invitational on March 15. It took Grand until April last season before he pushed through that barrier, and he carried that momentum to a thirdplace finish at the Class AAAA State

Pacers use late rally to beat Heat By Michael Marot

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Paul George scored 23 points and Roy Hibbert had 21, leading the Indiana Pacers back from a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit for Pacers 84 an 84-83 victory over the Miami Heat on WednesHeat 83 day night. The NBA’s best home team ended a twogame losing streak, took a 2-1 lead in the season series against the two-time defending champions and rebuilt a three-game advantage in the race for the Eastern Conference’s top seed. Indiana (52-20) also clinched its second straight Central Division crown, something it hadn’t done since 1998-99 and 1999-2000. LeBron James scored 38 points, but Miami managed just one basket over the final 3:54. Chris Bosh had a jumper at the buzzer to win it but it hit nothing but air. George had two monster dunks — one over LeBron James — to get the Pacers back in the game. It was a good, old-fashioned grudge match right down to the final shot — Bosh’s air ball from slightly to the right of the top of the key.

INSIDE u Roundup of Wednesday’s games. PAGE B-3

There were flagrant fouls and bodies flying. Lance Stephenson was ejected midway through the fourth quarter after picking up his second technical foul. And nobody had a rougher night, physically, than James. He tripped in the first quarter and wound up dribbling the ball while sitting down. He got knocked to the ground and slid into the basket support late in the third quarter. He did a push up following another hard fall early in the fourth, and then got whacked across the face before shooting free throws. Before the game ended, James was called for a flagrant foul for an elbow on a layup, an elbow that landed squarely in the face of the 7-foot-2, 285-pound Hibbert. The shot left Hibbert on the ground and stumbled when he tried to get up. Plus, James had to contend with all those picks from Indiana’s All-Star center, too. And he wound up with six turnovers, including the one that led to an Evan Turner layup that gave Indiana the lead for good with 90 seconds to go.

Duncan leads Spurs over Nuggets SCOREBOARD

The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Tim Duncan had 29 points, 13 rebounds and five assists, and San Antonio overcame a fourthquarter collapse to beat Spurs 108 Denver for its 15th straight victory. Nuggets 103 Danny Green scored 16 points before leaving with a foot injury early in the second half. Tiago Splitter, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili had 10 points apiece for San Antonio (55-16), which maintained the league’s best record. RAPTORS 99, CELTICS 90 In Boston, Terrence Ross scored 24 points, Kyle Lowry 23, and Toronto beat Boston to edge closer to its first playoff berth since 2008. DeMar DeRozan added 20 points for Toronto, which increased its Atlantic Division lead to 2½ games over Brooklyn, which lost in Charlotte. The Raptors can clinch a playoff spot if the New York Knicks lose at Sacramento later Wednesday. TIMBERWOLVES 107, HAWKS 83 In Minneapolis, Gorgui Dieng had

15 points and 15 rebounds, and Minnesota dealt slumping Atlanta another costly loss. Corey Brewer and Kevin Martin each scored 18 points and Kevin Love had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Timberwolves. Minnesota scored 32 points off 26 Hawks turnovers and blew the game open in the second half.

CAVALIERS 97, PISTONS 96 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Dion Waiters hit a contested baseline jumper at the buzzer to complete a rally that lifted Cleveland over the Detroit. The Pistons led 82-66 going into the fourth quarter, but once again collapsed down the stretch.

PELICANS 98, CLIPPERS 96 In New Orleans, Anthony Davis had 16 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks, and under-manned New Orleans beat Los Angeles for its fourth straight win. Darius Miller capped a 16-point effort with a pair of crucial late jumpers, the last giving New Orleans a 97-92 lead with 47 seconds left.

BOBCATS 116, NETS 111 (OT) In Charlotte, N.C., Al Jefferson scored 35 points, Kemba Walker had a doubledouble, and the Bobcats defeated Brooklyn in overtime for their 10th victory at home in the last 12 games. Walker had 20 points and 12 assists and Chris Douglas-Roberts had 16 points, including two big jump shots in overtime.

SUNS 99, WIZARDS 93 In Washington, Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe combined to finish with 48 points, 13 assists and 13 rebounds, helping Phoenix beat Washington for its fifth consecutive victory. The Suns moved into a tie with the Dallas Mavericks for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Both clubs are 43-29 with 10 games remaining.

KNICKS 107, KINGS 99 In Sacramento, Calif., Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points, J.R. Smith added 29 points, and New York held off a furious rally to beat Sacramento and move a game closer to the final playoff seed. A night after a lackluster 127-96 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers, the Knicks avoided a monumental collapse to another one of the Western Conference’s worst teams.

Distance: Coach says Grand ‘elite runner’ Continued from Page B-1 Championships a month later. Demons head coach Peter Graham is learning that breaking barriers has come to define Grand. “Looking at him when he came in as a freshman, he had the talent to become a good runner,” Graham said. “Now, I didn’t know what his work ethic was when he came in, but he’s got a good work ethic. He’s not one of those kids who says, ‘Oh, I’ll get that run in later.’ He is a kid that puts in his training in the proper perspective. He knows what he needs to do if he has a goal in mind, and that has made him a better runner.” This goal this year is to move up the podium for state. While he was third in the AAAA 3,200, it was a disqualification in the 1,600 the previous day of the two-day event that set the tone his next race. Grand led for a few laps in the 3,200, and finished 4 seconds behind winner Nick Hill of Los Alamos, but it put him miles ahead mentally for this season. “That was a huge motivator,” Grand said of the disqualifi-

cation, in which he stepped on the curb that was past the inside lane. “I was thinking, ‘I’m here and I have to go allout since I screwed up the first time.’ ” Graham feels that race validated Grand’s status as an elite runner in AAAA, if not the state. “I think that race was a turning point for him,” Graham said. “It showed him he could run with some of those guys and go pretty quick.” Grand parlayed that into a

spot on the New Mexico squad for the Great Southwest Classic in June and a sixth-place finish in the AAAA cross country championships in the fall. Over the weekend, Grand got a chance to taste some out-ofstate competition when he and several teammates went to the Chandler (Ariz.) Rotary Invitational. He took 14th in the elite session of the 3,200 with a time of 9:42.42, and was 20th in the 1,600 in 4:32.08. Grand called it an eye-opening experience to race against

some elite runners from across the Western United States. “The kid who won it [Cerake Gederkidane from Denver East], he’s the first, time-wise, in the nation,” Grand said. “I think it was a good experience running with that kind of competition. Races like this, it was nice to go over there and know what it’s like … To be last. Because I was second or third to last in my heat. It was kind of a humbling experience.” Well, if he can take anything from that race, it was that he finished ahead of Marcos Serna from Albuquerque St. Pius X in both races. Serna has the fastest in-state 3,200 time posted this season (9:53.27), but Grand is No. 2. Still, Grand knows Kevin Wyss and Jordan Lesansee from Albuquerque Academy, Belen’s Jared Garcia and even Los Alamos’ Colin Hemez are faces he will have to stare down this season if he is to achieve his goal of a gold medal come May. It’s the road ahead that has Grand focused on staying in front of the pack.

Athletes: SEC, other conferences, disagree Continued from Page B-1 The ruling described how the life of a football player at Northwestern is far more regimented than that of a typical student, down to requirements about what they can eat and whether they can live off campus or purchase a car. At times, players put 50 or 60 hours a week into football, Ohr added. Alan Cubbage, Northwestern’s vice president for university relations, said in a statement that while the school respects “the NLRB process and the regional director’s opinion, we disagree with it.” Huma said scholarship players would vote within 30 days on whether to formally authorize the College Athletes Players Association, or CAPA, to represent them. The specific goals of CAPA include guaranteeing coverage of sports-related medical expenses for current and former players, reducing head injuries and potentially letting players pursue commercial sponsorships. Critics have argued that giving college athletes employee status and allowing them to unionize could hurt college sports in numerous ways, including raising the prospect of strikes by disgruntled players or lockouts by athletic departments. For now, the push is to unionize athletes at private schools, such as Northwestern, because the federal labor agency does not have jurisdiction over public universities. But Huma said Wednesday’s decision is the “first domino to fall” and that teams at schools — both public and private — could

eventually follow the Wildcats’ lead. Outgoing Wildcats quarterback Kain Colter took a leading role in establishing CAPA. The United Steelworkers union has been footing the legal bills. Colter, who has entered the NFL draft, said nearly all of the 85 scholarship players on the Wildcats roster backed the union bid, though only he expressed his support publicly. He said the No. 1 reason to unionize was to ensure injured players have their medical needs met. “With the sacrifices we make athletically, medically and with our bodies, we need to be taken care of,” Colter told ESPN. The NCAA has been under increasing scrutiny over its amateurism rules and is fighting a class-action federal lawsuit by former players seeking a cut of the billions of dollars earned from live broadcasts, memorabilia sales and video games. Other lawsuits allege the NCAA failed to protect players from debilitating head injuries. NCAA President Mark Emmert has pushed for a $2,000-per-player stipend to help athletes defray some expenses. Critics say that is not nearly enough, considering players help bring in millions of dollars to their schools and conferences. In a written statement, the NCAA said it disagreed with the notion that studentathletes are employees. “We frequently hear from student-athletes, across all sports, that they participate to enhance their overall college experience and for the love of their sport, not to be paid,” the NCAA said.

SFHS softball team breaks skid, beats SFIS The Santa Fe High softball team started the season 2-0, but after a three-game skid, the Demonettes needed something to pick up their spirits. They got it in the form of a 9-2 nondistrict win at Santa Fe Indian School on Wednesday. “We really needed to get back on track,” Santa Fe High head coach Keith Richards said.

The Demonettes (3-3 overall) had a 1-0 lead early in the game, but the Lady Braves (2-4) came back and had a 2-1 lead at the end of the fourth inning. Santa Fe High then scored six runs in the top of the fifth to take back control of the game. Pitcher Alex Russell had 10 strikeouts for the Demonettes and was the anchor of a strong defensive performance by the team after it had many lapses during last week-

All of the big NCAA conferences, including the SEC, also disagreed with the decision. “Notwithstanding today’s decision, the SEC does not believe that full time students participating in intercollegiate athletics are employees of the universities they attend,” the SEC said in a written statement. The developments are coming to a head at a time when major college programs are awash in cash generated by new television deals that include separate networks for the big conferences. The NCAA Tournament generates an average of $771 million a year in television rights itself, much of which is distributed back to member schools by the NCAA. Attorneys for CAPA argued that college football is, for all practical purposes, a commercial enterprise that relies on players’ labor to generate billions of dollars in profits. The NLRB ruling noted that from 2003 to 2013 the Northwestern program generated $235 million in revenue — profits the university says went to subsidize other sports. During the NLRB’s five days of hearings in February, Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald took the stand for union opponents, and his testimony sometimes was at odds with Colter’s. Colter told the hearing that players’ performance on the field was more important to Northwestern than their in-class performance, saying, “You fulfill the football requirement and, if you can, you fit in academics.”

MEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT

A guide to the NCAA’s regionals By John Marshall

The Associated Press

By Teresa M. Walker

Just when you think the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament couldn’t possibly top itself, it happened again. Last year’s ride was a wild one, filled with massive upsets that blew up brackets and spectacular performances that made it one of the most entertaining starts in tournament history. This year’s version was even better, the best weekend on the sports calendar starting with most of the brackets blown out on the first game of the first full day and including a fourpoint play to send a game to overtime. Now that we’ve had time to catch our breath, it’s time to hold on tight again with the regional rounds up next. Here’s some of what to keep an eye on:

The big boys

Garden: Venue hosted 73 tournament games Continued from Page B-1 “The first thing I remember is the smoke. Thick smoke,” Hyland said, recalling days when “no smoking” sections were still decades away. “Then there were the banks of phones right outside the seats. They were always being used just before the game.” Not only were the change-grabbing pay phones the only source of communication then, they were also the lifeline of those who wanted to bet on the games, and they would wait until the last minute to call whoever was taking the action. Hyland was a sophomore that season. He graduated from Princeton and embarked on careers as a successful attorney, an assistant coach to Butch van Breda Kolff and Pete Carill and the supervisor of officials for the Big East Conference from its inception in 1979 to 2013. “We used to come up to the Garden and watch the NIT and sit all day and watch

games,” Hyland said. “Playing in the Garden was one of my fondest memories. You never knew it wouldn’t come back here, but now that it is, it has brought back a lot of memories.” Hyland had 16 points and nine rebounds that day, something he didn’t remember until he recently was shown a box score of the Tigers’ 84-67 victory over George Washington. There were some other big names with big games that day. Len Chappell had 31 points and 20 rebounds as Wake Forest, with a point guard named Billy Packer, beat St. John’s 97-74. “All I remember about that game is that we got killed in the second half,” said Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca, then an assistant to Joe Lapchick at St. John’s. He was right. Wake Forest scored 61 points in the second half. “We had a hell of a team,” Carnesecca said, “but they were great that day.”

The third game saw St. Bonaventure beat Rhode Island 86-76. Fred Crawford led the Bonnies with 34 points and 16 rebounds. Those were the last of 73 NCAA Tournament games played in the Garden. Seven of those were national championship games. The NIT was invented at the Garden, and the building stayed loyal to it. The NIT has been played every year in the Garden since it started in 1938, one year ahead of the NCAA Tournament. Nobody thought the NCAA Tournament would be played in the same building that hosted the NIT. The process of returning the NCAA Tournament to the Garden started in August 2008 when the NCAA bought the NIT as part of a settlement of a legal fight between the two organizations, and plans started almost immediately for the Garden to be involved with both tournaments.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Scottie Wilbekin has defended the 6-foot-6 Harrison twins of Kentucky and seen his share of tall guards during his four seasons at Florida. Yet nothing really has prepared the Southeastern Conference player of the year for UCLA’s Kyle Anderson. The sophomore plays point guard for UCLA despite being 6-9, tall enough to play forward or center on any other team. Anderson can stretch his arms out 7-3, allowing him to simply pass over or around any defender in his path helping the Bruins average 81.5 points a game. Wilbekin will be giving up 7 inches Thursday night to Anderson in the South Regional semifinal at the FedExForum. “Yes, it’s going to be tough,” Wilbekin said. “He’s definitely a unique cover.” The Gators have been one of the nation’s stingiest defenses all season and now must slow down Anderson and the Bruins in the South Regional semifinal Thursday night to extend the longest winning streak in school history to a 29th game. Another win puts the NCAA Tournament’s overall top seed into a fourth straight regional final. “Every game you get a chance to win, it becomes more difficult,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said. “It becomes more challenging, it becomes harder.” The Gators (34-2) have won with one of the nation’s stingiest defenses all season, holding opponents to an average of 57.5 points a game that puts them third nationally. They like to press while smothering teams, and the Gators have held 26 opponents to 61 points or fewer. They advanced to their fourth straight regional semifinal by holding Pittsburgh to 45 points last weekend. In Steve Alford’s first season, the fourth-seeded Bruins (28-8) scored more points than they have in years. Alford said they will have to keep scoring against Florida. “If the game’s in the 50s, that’s probably not favoring UCLA,” said Alford, who coached The University of New Mexico Lobos for six years before signing with UCLA. “We need the thing to be a little bit more up-tempo than that.” Anderson is the do-everything guard for UCLA, averaging 14.7 points and grabbing a team-best 8.7 rebounds per game. He also leads the Pac-12 with 6.5 assists a game. But he has plenty of help, and the other Bruins are big too. Jordan Adams leads UCLA with 17.4 points a game, and he’s a 6-5 guard. Norman Powell is their shortest starting guard at 6-4. “They’re a unique basketball team,” Gators forward Casey Prather said. “They have guards that post up and bigs who can shoot. They do a great job in transition. They’re very good on offense so we’ve just got to do a good job of meeting the challenge.” The Gators have scored more than 80 points only five times this season and only twice since the end of November. That makes ratcheting up the defensive intensity a must to contain Anderson. “We just have to build walls, help each other, and try to keep him out of the lane,” Wilbekin said. UCLA can play some defense as well. The Bruins held opponents to 70.1 points a game, and they rank third nationally in steals averaging 9.3 per game. That allows them to get running back the other way for lots of easy buckets.

Arizona: Offensively, both teams are dead even Continued from Page B-1 “They guard, guard, guard, and they share the ball,” Fisher said about Arizona. “That is a winning formula and they’ve got it.” Nick Johnson had 23 points and Aaron Gordon added 16 for the Wildcats, who went on to win 20 straight games and were ranked No. 1 for eight weeks. JJ O’Brien and Xavier Thames scored 19 points each for the Aztecs. Of course, much more is at stake now. Arizona wants to reach the Final Four, where coach Sean Miller has

never been despite restoring the program to an elite level during his five years in the desert. San Diego State’s modest basketball résumé includes never advancing beyond the Sweet 16; the school didn’t even win an NCAA Tournament game in its first 40 seasons playing Division I ball. “They’re out to prove that they’re better than the outside world has given them credit,” Miller said. Defense will be at a premium in the matchup, with both teams holding opponents under 40 percent shooting. The Wildcats lead

the nation in defensive efficiency, allowing 87.2 points per 100 possessions, while San Diego State allows 90.3 points. “They’re long, athletic just like us, so they like to press a little bit, create turnovers,” Arizona star Nick Johnson said. “That’s going to be the key to the game as far as us just doing what we do, be a defensive team. Take care of the ball when they try to pressure us.” The Aztecs are stingy beyond the arc, limiting opponents to 28 percent from 3-point range. “We love playing defense,” SDSU guard Xavier Thames said.

“We know offense is going to come, but if we want to win and win big, we have to play defense.” The Aztecs have more than double the number of steals by their opponents. “They get big turnovers with the way they play defense, which gives them additional offense,” Miller said. Offensively, both teams are dead even, allowing only 56.6 points per game. Arizona is coming off a 23-point win over Gonzaga. The Wildcats scored 31 points off the Zags’ 21 turnovers, including 15 steals.

Buffalo Bills staying put for now following Wilson’s death By John Wawrow

The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Ralph Wilson fulfilled his vow in keeping the Bills in Buffalo during his lifetime. Though they won’t be leaving any time soon following the 95-year-old Pro Football Hall of Fame owner’s death, their long-term future is in question. The Bills are essentially locked in to playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium through the next six years. That’s because of a non-relocation provision included in the team’s lease agreement that would require the Bills to pay a $400 million penalty if they leave before the 2019 season. “Anyone expecting to see the Los Angeles Bills

is sorely mistaken,” SportsCorp President Marc Ganis told The Associated Press. “They can’t move even if they wanted to. It would go against the ironclad agreement done with Ralph’s blessing.” Ganis, a close observer of the NFL, heads a Chicago-based consulting firm and is very familiar with the 10-year lease the Bills negotiated with state and county governments in December 2012. “With that lease, Ralph gave away hundreds of millions of dollars as, in essence, a parting gift to Buffalo,” Ganis said. While it looks highly unlikely any potential owner would try to break the lease, nothing is impossible. And as for what happens beyond 2019 is uncertain and largely dependent on the next owner. In 2020, the Bills have a one-time oppor-

tunity to opt out of the lease for $28.4 million. “It buys us seven years, which is a substantial amount of time to make sure the next ownership team that comes in sees the benefit of keeping that team in Buffalo,” Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy said in Elmira on Wednesday. “We don’t want to lose them.” But that is certainly a possibility. The team’s founder and sole owner died at his home in Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich., on Tuesday and survived by wife, Mary, and two daughters. Wilson, however, expressed no interest of leaving the team to his family. As a result, the original American Football League franchise is expected to be placed into a trust overseen by the executors of Wilson’s estate before being put up for sale. That opens the

potential of the team being sold and relocated. Los Angeles could be a landing spot. So would Toronto, where the Bills played annual regularseason games since 2008 before postponing their series last month. “Well, I haven’t focused on that,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said when asked about the franchise’s future at league meetings in Orlando, Fla. “We know the terms of that lease. And we also know we have to find a long-term solution to keep the Bills there, and that’s what we’ll continue to work to do.” Nonetheless, a list of ownership candidates has emerged to purchase a franchise valued at around $870 million. It’s not every day an NFL team goes on sale.

OUTDOORS Buckman motocross park reopening soon, to the delight of riders

Back on track

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

aniel Coriz loves motocross, and he wants to share that passion with the people of Santa Fe. The 34-year-old has been riding motorcycles since he was a child, but he often didn’t have a place to ride. That’s why he has spent so much of his free time renovating and maintaining the Buckman Track west of N.M. 599, which is expected to reopen in the next few weeks. The 55-acre track was carved out by users over the past four decades or so and was largely developed by volunteers such as Coriz, who has helped maintain the track since 2008. The spot became so popular that the city completed major access improvements as part of its master plan for parks. In October 2012, a “grand opening” celebration marked the completion of more than $450,000 in city spending on a road, parking lot and perimeter fence. But shortly after the opening, the track was closed because of safety concerns, and Coriz has done everything he could to get it reopened. Coriz has competed in motocross, arenacross and bicycle motocross — and everything between. As he learned all the ropes, he found it was difficult to ride on a proper track, which is why he is so passionate about Buckman. “I couldn’t afford to get out to the tracks in Moriarty and Albuquerque,” Coriz said. “That’s why I want to see [Buckman] open to the public, and I hope other places in New Mexico will follow.” The track is owned by the city, which is rare, according to Coriz. People don’t usually have access to public motocross facilities, and that might entice people who don’t have the resources to ride dirt bikes to give it a try. “Normally, only your privileged riders are riding tracks,” Coriz said. “For a track like this to be opened to the public is a big deal.” The track was closed all of 2013 because of liability concerns. The city hired Great Outdoors Consultants out of Fort Collins, Colo., to make the necessary safety changes. Work on the course is complete; all that’s left to finish are fencing that keeps different lines from intersecting with one another and a spectator area. Once those are done, city officials will meet with Travelers Insurance — the city’s liability policyholder — and the city’s Risk Management and Safety Department to determine if the track is fit to be opened. While there is no exact date for the relaunch, people can expect the track to be open very soon. “We are making an effort to finish it before the end of the month,” said Ike Pino, the director of the Public Works Department. “We are very close.” Once the facility is reopened, it will have to be maintained, and that’s where Coriz steps in again. He doesn’t want Buckman to be like Montessa Park, a public off-road vehicle area in Albuquerque that is not managed regularly. But maintenance takes a lot of time and money, as well as heavy equipment like loaders and backhoes. Coriz, along with Jason Perdue, the owner of Southwest Motorsport Resource, started a nonprofit called I Ride NM dedicated to maintaining Buckman Track.

The track was closed all of 2013 because of liability concerns. The city hired Great Outdoors Consultants out of Fort Collins, Colo., to make the necessary safety changes. In order to gather funds, Coriz and Perdue reached out to different shop owners around town for donations to rent all the necessary equipment. The duo also needed the manpower to help out with the maintenance, but that wasn’t too hard to find. An army of volunteers has assisted with its own shovels, rakes and other equipment. The heavy equipment is normally used every once in a while to build jumps and other obstacles. Once that is done, the normal maintenance is to remove trash, shovel dirt, rake rocks and take care of other safety issues. Cyrus Armijo, 21, is one of those volunteers. Like Coriz, he is involved in anything that has two wheels, and he can’t wait for the track to be reopened. “It’s great because we all have a spot to come together,” Armijo said. “It’s nice to have a place to ride that is legal and has parking. If not, then you have people rid-

ing on private land.” Armijo has been riding bikes since he was 14, and now he specializes in doing stunts. Like any daredevil on two wheels, he has had his share of injuries, including broken bones and concussions. But the real reason Armijo lives on a bike is because of all the camaraderie that comes with riding them. “It brings people together,” Armijo said. “There’s a lot of fellowship that goes on. It’s more than just being a hooligan on a motorcycle.” Armijo also said a public motocross track is important because it can keep riders from getting into trouble. A lot of people ride dirt bikes to escape

their harsh realities. “People use motocross as an outlet,” Armijo said. “You’d be surprised how many people who ride motorcycles have problems in their lives. It keeps us from riding in the street and doing drugs and other things that break the law.” Soon, all of those “hooligans on motorcycles” will have a place to legally ride, just in time for the warmer weather. The track will be open to everyone, but Great Outdoors recommends that all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) do not ride the track due to how narrow it is. Coriz also recommends that a beginning rider learn on flat terrain before taking on jumps and obstacles.

Pete Archuleta with the city Parks Division builds part of the Buckman Track earlier this month. The track has been closed for safety reasons since early last year. NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO

Most regional ski areas are planning to wrap up their seasons with a flurry of special events and parties. Here’s what’s on tap. Ski Santa Fe will host the Gladfelter Memorial Bump Contest on Saturday, which is open to all skiers and boarders. Great prizes and brag-

ging rights go to the winners in many categories (male, female and age classes). Todd and the Fox will play at Totemoff’s from noon to 3 p.m. Sign up in the morning to enter — there is no registration fee. Taos Ski Valley will host the Dos Equis Airbag Days on Saturday and Sunday, and April 5 and April 6, with a 14-foot-high kicker at the base of Strawberry Hill. Anyone age 21 and up can try it out for free, but it culminates from 2 to 4 p.m. April 6 with a championship showdown that requires a $10 entry fee. Competitors are judged on amplitude, costume and style. Wolf Creek ends its season with great deals and activities, including Local Appreciation Days April 2 and closing day, April 6. Lift tickets will be $38 for adults and $22 for seniors and children, with no ID required. The same prices apply April 5 for College Day. On April 6, enjoy the final race in the Fun Race Series. It’s free and open to skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities. Monarch hosts it “signature” event of the season, Kyaks on Snow, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 12. Contestants race head to head, similar to Skier Cross, down a specially designed course

featuring berms, banks and bumps, ending in an icy pond. A $10 entry fee includes an event T-shirt. For details or registration, call 719-530-5081. The next day, celebrate closing day with a parking lot cook-off and tailgate party. Guests, competing for a season pass and other goodies, are encouraged to whip up their best eats. Contestants also will be judged on decor and spirit. Crested Butte will hold a Slush Huck on April 5 to close out its season, with contestants dressed in wacky costumes skimming across water on their skis, snowboards or snowbikes. Durango Mountain Resort’s closing fete runs Saturday and Sunday, with live music by Ralph Dinosaur and the Fabulous Volcanoes and giveaways, including a snowboard and a bicycle. Telluride presents its Mountain Town Get-Down on Saturday and Sunday. Telluride local band TriCo will play in the Mountain Village center from 1 to 2 p.m. Saturday, followed by See-I at 2:30 p.m. and John Brown’s Body at 4:30 p.m. Sunday’s activities include a Bikini Slalom from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and the Gorrono Ranch Luau from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. with local reggae band Bredren.

WOW! THAT’S OVER $4600 IN TOTAL DISCOUNTS!

RAY: Well, we all remem-

power-generating equipment and vehicle computers. Rather than place in the garage a large, galvanized steel container that’s large enough to park a car in after the container has been lined with insulation and add a conductive layer around the car, I’m thinking it would be more practical to just buy a spare car and maintain it, albeit one that does not have any electronic controls. I’m thinking a carbureted vehicle built before the ‘80s would do the trick. The question I have is, Would a car with a carburetor built prior to 1980 continue to run (assuming that it can run OK prior to this potential event) after Earth has been hit with a large solar flare, similar to the Carrington Event of 1859, which was strong enough to cause electrical shocks to telegraph operators? Also, what would be a suggested vehicle to keep for such an event? -- Larry

ber what chaos the world was cast into after the 1859 Carrington Event, Larry. Life, as we knew it, was extinguished. I mean, try finding a telegraph operator today! Where are they? You think it’s a coincidence that you can’t find a telegraph operator anymore? TOM: Doesn’t anybody screen these letters? RAY: Actually, I think it’s a very reasonable question, Larry. We’ll do our best to help you out. TOM: OK. In order to avoid being automotively stranded by some sort of major, Earth-wide electrical disturbance, you need to go back to before computers were used to manage engines, and before electronic ignition. That would put you in the early 1970s. RAY: I think the car for you is a 1972 Dodge Dart, Larry. It’s proven pretty reliable. Since it has a nerdy

IMPORTS

cult following, there are lots of parts still available for these cars. It has a onebarrel Holley carburetor and no important electronics that would be a≠ected by electromagnetic radiation. In fact, it doesn’t have any electronics at all. TOM: Or, here’s another idea: How about a nice, 1971 Chevy Kingswood Estate Wagon? That’s got a nice, simple, carbureted V-8 engine, and the fake wood paneling should survive any electrical event. Plus, a fullsize station wagon will give you plenty of room to carry around the provisions you’ll need for the next 50 years. RAY: But whatever car you get, just to be on the safe side, you might want to take the radio out and wrap it in tinfoil. TOM: But don’t use all of your tinfoil. You’ll need to have enough left over to make your hat, Larry. Godspeed.
