self-sufficient, sustainable community looks something like this: It has a healthy, local food supply that can withstand drought and disease.

It has clean water and decent-paying jobs, and it can provide power at a stable price over many years.

The community’s homes are so energy efficient that even people on fixed, low incomes can keep the lights and the heat on.

Businesses, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, thrive.

People can afford to live in the community without always having to work two or three jobs.

Bike trails, public transit and solarpowered electric charging stations make it easy for people to give up their gas-powered rides.

Almost all waste, of all types, is recycled.

People of all ages help one another and enjoy their diverse cultures. They enjoy a rich offering of art, music, dance, theater and sporting events.

Landscapes are vibrant, wildlife is abundant, and the soil is a nutrient-rich chest of gold.

Most importantly, it is a community that is self-sufficient in the face of disaster, adaptable to change, capable of regenerating what it needs to thrive.

Such a community is the dream of many in Santa Fe, including its elected officials — and in some ways, Santa Fe has made progress toward that dream.

When the city approved a sustainability plan in 2008, the goal was focused on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

Climate scientists believe those emissions are a primary culprit causing rapid climate change around the world.

In light of little action on the federal level, City Different officials, like those of many other cities and a few states, wanted to address climate change, even

Old hot spot sees solar rebirth

Officials seek motive, possible accomplices in Boston bombing

By Joel Achenbach and Robert Barnes The Washington Post

Authorities pressed forward Saturday in their search for answers in the Boston Marathon bombing, and the person who likely knows more than anyone else is the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, known to friends as “Jahar.”

He remained hospitalized with gunshot wounds and was “not able to communicate yet,” said Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.

Tsarnaev is at heavily guarded Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the same hospital where his older brother, Tamerlan, 26, was pronounced dead Friday after a shootout with police in the Boston suburb of Watertown, Mass.

“One of the reasons why I

and so many others are hoping the suspect survives is we have a million questions we want to ask him,” the governor said in an interview. “He’s in serious but stable condition. He’s in bad shape. He was bleeding for nearly a day. He was pretty weak and not in great shape.”

If and when he recovers, Tsarnaev is expected to be questioned by a special federal team of interrogators from the CIA, FBI and the military, tasked with grilling high-value terrorism suspects. The marathon bombing, which killed three people and wounded more than 170, has not been linked so far to any overseas terrorist network or any larger terrorist cell within the United States.

Buzz kill on 4/20

By Kristen Wyatt

DENVER unfire erupted at a Denver pot celebration Saturday, injuring two people and scattering a crowd of thousands who had gathered for the first 4/20 counterculture holiday since the state legalized marijuana.

The man and woman who were shot were expected to survive, and police were looking for one or two suspects, said Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson. Police asked festival attendees for possible photo or video of the shootings, and had no immediate motive.

Witnesses described a scene in which a jovial atmosphere quickly turned to one of panic at the downtown Civic Center Park just before 5 p.m. Several thought firecrackers were being set off, then a man fell bleeding, his dog also shot.

“I saw him fall, grabbing his leg,” said Travis Craig, 28, who was at the celebration, saw the shooting and said he used a belt to apply a tourniquet to the man’s leg.

“He was just screaming that he was in pain, and wanted to know where his girlfriend was.

She was OK. And then the cops showed up real quick, like, less than a minute. They put him on ambulance and left.”

The annual pot celebration this year was expected to draw as many as 80,000 people after recent laws in Colorado and Washington made marijuana legal for recreational use. A sizable police force on motorcycles and horses had been watching the celebration since its start earlier Saturday. But authorities, who generally look the other way at public pot smoking here on April 20, didn’t arrest people for smoking in public, which is still illegal.

Police said earlier in the week that they were focused on crowd security in light of attacks that killed three at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

“We’re aware of the events in Boston,” said Denver police spokesman Aaron Kafer, who declined to give specifics about security measures being taken. “Our message to the public is that, if you see something, say something.”

Stephanie Riedel, who traveled to the pot celebration from Pittsburgh, said she was dancing with a hula hoop when she heard pops. A man ran past her, then she said the crowd started screaming and running away.

She was about 20 feet from the shooting and heard four or five shots. “I couldn’t make sense of what it was at first,” she said. “We were all having a good time and I was in the mindframe of, ‘We’re here at a peace gathering.’ I thought it some guys playing.”

Aerial footage showed the massive crowd frantically running from the park.

Ian Bay, who was skateboarding through Civic Center Park when shots erupted, said he was listening to music on his headphones when he looked to his right and saw a swarm of hundreds of people running at him.

“I sort of panicked. I thought I was going through an anxiety thing because so many people were coming after me,” he said.

Before the shooting, reggae music filled the air, and so did the smell of marijuana, as celebrants gathered by midmorning in the park just beside the state Capitol.

Group smoke-outs were planned Saturday from New York to San Francisco. The origins of the number “420” as a code for pot are murky, but the drug’s users have for decades

Puerto Rico debates legalizing marijuana SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Dozens of people marched Saturday through Puerto Rico’s capital amid growing support for a recent bill filed by a former police chief that aims to legalize marijuana for personal use, unleashing an unprecedented debate in this conservative U.S. territory.

The crowd marched to the seaside Capitol building, where Sen. Miguel Pereira filed a bill this week stating it should be legal for those 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana. The former federal prosecutor and corrections secretary said possession cases are costing the government money, noting that 80 percent of inmates are serving time for nonviolent crimes. His comments have polarized the

island, with some legislators demanding his resignation. Critics say the proposal would further fuel violence on an island of 3.7 million people that reported a record 1,117 killings in 2011, with police saying that 70 percent of killings are drug-related. Others expressed concern that police, teachers and doctors would smoke while working.

Currently, those charged with marijuana possession can face up to three years in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Puerto Rico joins a handful of other Caribbean islands, including Jamaica and St. Lucia, where there has been a push to legalize marijuana use. In Jamaica, a proposal has the backing of several church leaders, but it has not gained traction on an island that remains the Caribbean’s largest pot exporter to the U.S. The Associated Press

Police: Man hijacked bus before killing himself AUSTIN, Texas — Police say a gunman hijacked a city bus in Austin, ordered the driver and passengers to get off, and led officers on a 30-mile chase before pulling over and killing himself.

The Austin American-Statesman reports the man boarded the bus about 4:30 p.m. Saturday. He forced everyone to leave the vehicle, got behind the steering wheel and drove off. Police spotted the bus and pursued it. They tried several times to get the driver to pull over, but he refused.

Officers then put down road spikes and deflated the bus tires. The man eventually pulled into an auto parts store parking lot. Police say officers heard a gunshot as they surrounded the bus. They say the man fatally shot himself. They didn’t immediately release his name.

World finance leaders issue somber assessment WASHINGTON — World finance leaders issued a somber assessment on Saturday of the global economy, saying the recovery remains uneven with growth and jobs in short supply.

The steering committee for the 188-nation International Monetary Fund issued a final communique that called for decisive action to bolster growth. However, the major economies remained at odds over the best mix of policies to pursue.

The spring meetings of IMF and its sister lending agency, the World Bank, on Saturday followed two days of discussions among finance leaders of the Group of 20 nations, composed of traditional powers such as the United States, Japan and Germany and fast-growing developing nations such as China, Brazil and India. The finance leaders sought to project an air of cooperation even though they were unable to resolve sharp differences that have risen to the surface following an initially botched bailout of Cyprus in March.

marked the date 4/20 as a day to use pot together. Colorado and Washington are still waiting for a federal response to the votes and are working on setting up commercial pot sales, which are still limited to people with certain medical conditions. In the meantime, pot users are free to share and use the drug.

A citizen advocacy group that opposes marijuana proliferation, Smart Colorado, warned in a statement that public 4/20 celebrations “send a clear message to the rest of the nation and the world about what Colorado looks like.” “Does the behavior of the participants in these events reflect well on our state?” asked the head of Smart Colorado, Henny Lasley.

ISTANBUL — The United States said Sunday that it will double its nonlethal assistance to Syria’s opposition as the rebels’ top supporters vowed to enhance and expand their backing of the two-year battle to oust President Bashar Assad’s regime.

Yet the pledge fell far short of what the opposition had made clear it wanted: weapons and direct military intervention to stop the violence that has killed more than 70,000 people. The Syrian National Coalition had sought drone strikes on sites from which the regime has fired missiles, the imposition of no-fly zones and protected humanitarian corridors to ensure the safety of civilians. Instead, the Obama administration’s pledged to provide an additional $123 million in aid, which may include for the first time armored vehicles, body armor, night vision goggles and other defensive military supplies. It was the only tangible, public offer of new international support as the foreign ministers of the 11 main countries supporting the opposition met in a marathon session in Istanbul.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced the new package of assistance in a written statement at the conclusion of the conference that began Saturday afternoon and stretched into early Sunday.

Colorado avalanche kills 5 backcountry snowboarders GEORGETOWN, Colo. — Five snowboarders were killed Saturday afternoon after apparently triggering a backcountry avalanche on Colorado’s Loveland Pass, authorities said.

Search and rescue crews recovered the bodies several hours after the slide, which was about 600 feet wide and 8 feet deep, said Clear Creek County Sheriff Don Krueger. A sixth snowboarder caught in the avalanche was able to dig himself out and call for help, Krueger said. That person’s condition wasn’t immediately known. The victims all had avalanche beacons, Krueger added.

Searchers from Clear Creek County, Summit County, an alpine search and rescue team and the Loveland and Arapahoe Basin ski resorts located the bodies, Krueger said.

Powerful earthquake kills 179 in rural China

By Gillian Wong

YA’AN, China — Rescuers and relief teams struggled to rush supplies into the rural hills of China’s Sichuan province Sunday after an earthquake left at least 179 people dead and more than 6,700 injured and caused frightened survivors ot spend a night in cars, tents and makeshift shelters.

The earthquake Saturday morning triggered landslides that cut off roads and disrupted phone and power connections in mountainous Lushan county, farther south on the same fault line where a devastating quake wreaked widespread damage across the region five years ago.

Hardest hit Saturday were villages further up the valleys, where farmers grow rice, vegetables and corn on terraced plots. Rescuers hiked into neighboring Baoxing county after its roads were cut off, reaching it overnight, state media reported. In Longmen village, authorities said nearly

dynamite boulders that had fallen across roads, and rains Saturday night slowed rescue work, state media reported.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang arrived Saturday afternoon by helicopter in Ya’an to direct rescue efforts, the government’s official Xinhua News Agency reported. “The current priority is to save lives,” Li said, after visiting hospitals, tents and climbing on a pile of rubble to view the devastation, according to Xinhua.

Xinhua, citing the China Earthquake Administration, said at least 179 people had died, and more than 6,700 were injured.

LE XIAOXUAN/XINHUA The quake — measured by the earthquake administration “The government only brought at magnitude-7.0 and by the one tent for the whole village so U.S. Geological Survey far, but that’s not enough for us.” at 6.6 — struck shortly after Along the main roads, ambu- 8 a.m. Saturday, when many lances, fire engines and military people were at home, sleeping trucks piled high with supplies waited in long lines, some turning back to try other routes when roads were impassable.

all the buildings had been destroyed in a frightening minute-long shaking by the quake.

In the fog-covered town of Shuangli, corn farmer Zheng Xianlan said Sunday that the quake damaged her house, in a setback for a family that does not have much money. She rushed from the fields back

to her home when the quake struck, and cried when she saw that the roof collapsed. She then spent the night outdoors on a worn sofa using a plastic raincoat for a cover to watch over it.

“We don’t earn much money.

We don’t know what we will do now,” said 58-year-old Zheng, her eyes welling with tears.

Eco-initiatives boost bottom line Building right from the beginning

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

G

oing green isn’t just about helping the Earth in the long run. Done right, it makes dollars and sense. So keeping green economical is important to businesses and governments.

Gene Butler once thought so-called green initiatives, such as using energyefficient light bulbs, would cost his small Santa Fe business more money and time than they were worth. Now he believes going green helps his bottom line.

Santa Fe Public Schools, the city of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County have saved thousands of taxpayer dollars by cutting energy use.

The city and county believe new green-building ordinances will go a long way to reducing long-term energy needs at a reasonable cost — something both want to promote as part of a sustainable, resilient future. Those energy savings will become increasingly important to Santa Fe residents who are elderly, on fixed incomes and struggling to pay for high housing costs.

Being green to make green Butler said that as a small-business owner, he thought “going green” was for other people. Then he watched the documentary So Right, So Smart about successful carpet entrepreneur Ray Anderson, who vowed to make his company, Interface, less dependent on oil and still make a profit. His company’s ultimate goal: Use zero petrochemicals by 2020.

Anderson’s practical metamorphosis changed Butler’s view of his own wood stove and irrigation supplies business, The Firebird. “The light came on for me,” Butler said. The changes he put in place “were so easy. I thought, ‘More businesses ought to be doing this.’ ” Butler started simple, with an action guaranteed to make his money back in short order. He took advantage of an energy-efficiency program for small businesses called Quick Saver, offered

by Public Service Company of New Mexico. A total of 930 businesses statewide used PNM’s energy-efficiency programs last year.

PNM looked at the lights in The Firebird’s showroom, offices and warehouse, then recommended he should switch to more efficient fluorescent bulbs. “They came back with a proposal and a projection of how many kilowatt-hours we would save each month, the amount of the utility rebate and an estimated 1.7 years to recoup the investment through savings on our utility bill,” Butler said. “To be perfectly honest, I did that program because it seemed like the smart thing to do.”

Butler paid $5,600 for the retrofit.

PNM gave him a rebate of $3,000.

“For the same months, year over year, I’m saving 16 to 19 percent every month now on my utility bill as a direct result of those lighting improvements,” Butler said. “My only complaint is, I wish I had known about the program sooner.”

Then Butler looked around at what he could do to reduce waste. He started

a metal recycling program for freightdamaged parts, discontinued parts and other metal he used to pitch in the dumpster. Now he makes enough money from a scrap dealer to pay his employee’s time for delivering the material.

He took the little empty spools that irrigation wire was wrapped around and set them outside his door one day as an experiment. They kept disappearing. “They’re probably art pieces somewhere,” he said.

One of his employees now, on his own, collects all the store’s plastic bags and takes them to a recycling site.

“I think if more businesses realized how easy it was, then more people would do it,” Butler said.

Helping customers get efficient PNM has programs to help residential, rental and commercial customers reduce energy use and save some cash.

In the six years since the programs started, PNM’s customers who use them have seen their energy savings double.

The company benefits from the energy-efficiency programs by reducing the amount of power it has to buy on the market. Plus, it recoups some of the costs of operating the energy-efficiency programs through customer fees.

PNM has offered rebates on household appliances and light bulbs as part of its energy-efficiency programs. More than 7,000 residents traded in old powerguzzling refrigerators and freezers for efficient ones and a $50 rebate last year.

(PNM took the old appliances to a recycling hub in Albuquerque.) Combined, those refrigerators saved 6.3 million kilowatt-hours. The program cost PNM $1.2 million. The net financial benefit of the saved energy was $2.2 million.

In 2012, the company’s energy-efficiency programs helped business and residential customers save 79 million kilowatt-hours per year, a big increase compared to the prior year, according to PNM. The electricity saved is equivalent to the power used by 10,500 households.

The utility estimates the energy-efficiency measures among its customers statewide saved 252 million gallons of water that otherwise would have been needed to produce the electricity.

Saving taxpayers dough Saving energy by making existing buildings more efficient is about the cheapest way governments can make better use of taxpayer dollars.

Lisa Randall, energy conservation specialist for Santa Fe Public Schools, said reducing energy at the district’s 60 buildings helped it reduce its operating costs. The district was spending $1.8 million a year on electricity, Randall said.

The district switched to energy-efficient light bulbs and put motion sensors in rooms so the lights would turn off automatically when no one was there.

“We did the low-hanging fruit, and we did it as fast as we could,” Randall said.

The district also switched to more efficient heating and cooling systems.

PNM gave the district more than $100,000 in rebates. In the first year, the district reduced its gas and electric bills by $233,500, and lowered them more the second year.

Each school now receives a monthly Energy and Water Report Card that shows its electricity, natural gas and water use on a graph, as well as its energy-efficiency score. School staff, teachers and students can measure the progress they make in saving resources.

The city has taken similar simple steps to reduce energy use and save money. Nick Schiavo, who started his job as the city’s energy specialist in 2007, began by auditing the energy use of all the municipal buildings. The city has reduced energy use by 7 percent since then. The city also has a goal to generate 40 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, primarily solar, by 2020.

Not all energy-efficiency measures are equally cost effective.

“It is usually cost effective to install CFL or LED lights, do air sealing and simple insulation,” said Amanda Evans, project manager for the Energy Smart Academy at Santa Fe Community College. “It is usually never cost effective to install new windows. It may make the house more comfortable and look better, but it takes 30 to 100 years for the payback in energy efficiency.”

Weatherization and energy-efficiency specialists certified at places such as SFCC can help a homeowner determine the best, most cost-effective measures to take.

The city and county also have ordinances requiring new houses to be more energy efficient.

Their codes require new homes to be 30 percent more efficient than a standard home of the same size — a requirement known as a HERS 70. The HERS rating goes down as the energy efficiency of a house increases.

The HERS rating is based on the home’s performance. A builder can choose a number of ways to reach the desired HERS rating — passive-solar design, efficient appliances and light bulbs, insulated windows and walls, solar thermal and solar photovoltaics.

The city’s code goes beyond just energy efficiency. It sets goals for reducing construction waste and conserving water as well. Currently, the city is working on a similar sustainable building code for commercial buildings and for retrofitting existing houses.

It costs a little more to make a house more energy efficient — about $3,500 to $5,000. So, Santa Fe County’s energy specialists wanted to prove the county’s code would actually save homeowners money in the long run.

“What we wanted to do is redefine a home’s affordability,” said Craig O’Hare, an energy specialist with the county’s Public Works Department.

“Let’s not look at just the upfront cost.

Let’s look at the monthly costs the homeowner incurs, mortgage plus utilities.”

The county conducted a study to calculate the costs of reaching a HERS 70 in a 2,300-square-foot home. Even after taking into account an increase in the monthly mortgage to pay for the house, the homeowner would still make a little money each month.

“You get this great payback when you spend this [money] to reach the HERS 70,” O’Hare said, noting reduced propane and natural gas bills.

Other studies show some unexpected benefits to energy-efficient homes. A recent report from the National Association of Home Builders found buyers could afford larger houses that were energy efficient. In addition, homeowners with energy-efficient houses were less likely to default on their loans, according to the Washington, D.C.based Institute for Market Transformation, a nonprofit organization.

At the state level, meanwhile, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez has given mixed signals about energy-efficient buildings. She signed a bill into law this year that extends the state’s sustainable building tax credit for five years.

The bill, championed by Santa Fe’s Sen. Peter Wirth and Rep. Carl Trujillo, provides a tax break of several thousand dollars for energy-efficient buildings.

At the same time, the administration supported revising and weakening green building codes for commercial buildings. The revisions were challenged, and the New Mexico Court of Appeals recently sent the case back to the Construction Industries Commission for an explanation and a new vote.

Homewise helps make houses more energy efficient Group helps Santa Feans pay for improvements

wages during construction, according to Mike Loftin, executive director of Homewise. The work generated more than $343,000 in gross receipts taxes.

The city gave Homewise some seed money out of economic development funds to get the loans started a few years ago. Homewise used the money to leverage federal grants and grow the program.

“Then we went out and started borrowing money because we had enough equity. We’ve probably matched the city’s contribution now fivefold,” Loftin said.

Homewise next won a federal grant to start a similar program in Santa Fe County. “They’re sometimes more motivated than people in the city because many of them are on propane,” Loftin said of county residents.

Projects that qualify for the energyefficiency loans are insulation, insulated stucco, solar photovoltaic, high-efficiency water heaters, cooling

systems and furnaces, small wind turbines, solar water heaters, geothermal, high-efficiency windows and doors, and water conservation improvements.

“Financing is the big issue for any energy-efficiency improvement,” Loftin said. “Where do you get the money and can you get the money cheap enough that it makes economic sense?”

“If you can make the [loan] payment be what you save in energy, it becomes a real no-brainer. Then it doesn’t cost you anything, and some people make money off the improvements. That will be more true over time as energy costs go up.”

Improving energy efficiency is especially money-smart for people in existing homes, he added. “A lot of old homes are awful [in wasting energy].”

Homewise, a community-development financial organization serving eight Northern New Mexico counties, is key to helping Santa Feans pay for energy-efficiency and renewableenergy upgrades to their homes.

In the last two years, the nonprofit organization has provided low-interest loans to more than 200 Santa Fe city and county families to weatherize and better insulate their homes. Some have received loans to install solar photovoltaic systems that make a little money back for them each month from the utility company.

The average loan has been $22,173 at a 4 percent interest rate. The loan term is up to 30 years, with no money down.

Continued from Page A-1 lished a newsletter filled with groundbreaking data about solar design. People around the world read the stories and came to study Santa Fe’s passive-solar homes.

“New Mexico was trying just about everything you could think of in solar as it became available,” Stickney said. “To my knowledge, NMSEA was the center of all that activity in the nation. It was a center for solar enthusiasm.”

Then Ronald Reagan was elected president. “He killed solar,” Stickney said.

Reagan removed the solar heaters installed by his predecessor at the White House, Jimmy Carter, and with the threat of an oil embargo temporarily over, Congress killed the solar tax credits. A few dishonest companies that wanted the solar tax rebate without doing legitimate work didn’t help, Stickney said. Europe and China took over as the solar leaders of the world.

Fast forward four decades.

Solar and energy-efficient homes are a big part of the city of Santa Fe’s sustainability plan and its goal to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Many of New Mexico’s early solar pioneers, who never stopped exploring the boundaries of the technology, are still in the state, building successful businesses and creating jobs.

Solar has had a rebirth. But a state that ranks near the top in the nation for the number of sunny days per year is still a long way from utilizing its full solar potential.

Passive solar Rocket scientist Peter Van Dresser built one of Santa Fe’s oldest passive-solar homes in 1958 and founded the New Mexico Solar Energy Association a dozen years later. Among its early members were inventor Steve Bauer, Los Alamos scientist Doug Balcomb, architects Mark Chalom, Ed Mazria and Bill Lipscomb, and Benjamin Rogers, who was credited with coining the term “passive solar.”

“The exciting thing about passive solar is it worked without any expensive pumps or special knowledge,” Stickney said. “You just built windows pointed in the right direction and built it out of the right materials, and you could live in a solar collector and be comfortable.”

There were failures along the way. Designers had to learn how much shade to provide so a passive-solar house didn’t overheat in the summer, for example.

They looked for ways to build affordable passive-solar adobe homes.

By the 1980s, Mazria had produced a how-to guide for building a passive-solar home.

Balcomb had designed a building modeling software called Energy 10 for predicting how a solar home would work in all kinds of weather. Balcomb went on to the cutting edge National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado. Susan and Wayne Nichols developed the first commercial solar subdivision south of Santa Fe. Decades later, some of those early passive-solar homes are still operating fine and cost far less to heat and cool

than many newer homes.

But passive-solar homes, though proven 30 years ago and built with New Mexico’s greenest building material, adobe, lost traction among both “green builders” and affordablehome advocates. Even the early national sustainable building programs such as LEED and HERS penalized adobe homes because the organizations didn’t understand them, said Quentin Wilson, a longtime adobe builder.

Adobe gave way to wood-frame houses. Manufactured homes became the least expensive, quickest house option for many low-income people.

Despite its long history in New Mexico and around the world, adobe became seen in Santa Fe as the wealthy person’s building material. “Santa Fe has legitimized adobe, but at the same time made people think they can’t afford it,” said Wilson, who runs the Adobe School at Northern New Mexico College, the only adobe certification program in the country.

At the same time, many developers stopped designing homes that utilized the sun’s free energy effectively.

Wilson sees signs of a return to favor for adobe and passivesolar design. He said builders are using it again in Las Cruces and Albuquerque, and not just for high-end homes. Santa Fe Community College will begin offering an adobe home-building curriculum developed by Wilson and colleagues with the Earth Builders Guild.

Wilson said passive-solar adobe homes make sense in New Mexico. “They are big, solid, powerful. They are fireproof, termite proof and bulletproof,” Wilson said.

Solar heating Early solar adobe houses went

hand in hand with solar waterheating systems. Stickney was among those at the forefront of testing solar heating systems.

Through Solarlogic, the company he helped found in 2008 in Santa Fe, Stickney now has five patents for solar heating components.

The simplest version of solar heating is a black box with solar collectors that heats water for household use and for radiant heating systems. Stickney’s latest patent is for a solar heating system that cools itself as needed.

The company also has designed systems that allow Solarlogic or the homeowner to control a solar heating system remotely.

The company received a $10,000 economic development grant from the city of Santa Fe, which built a lab where they can test new solar thermal products.

Stickney said solar heating systems make the most sense for people on propane, allowing them to heat water and their homes for a lot less money. He said that in general, a solar heating system adds 20 percent to the cost of a water and spaceheating system. Solarlogic helps customers figure out whether the cost will be worth it in steady utility savings.

Solar thermal, like solar photovoltaics, qualifies for state and federal tax credits, which helps reduce the upfront cost up to 30 percent. “It turns out that the cash flow usually turns positive the second year, and in some cases days after the project is running,” Stickney said.

Solarlogics’ latest research project is based on an ancient Persian technology called “night sky radiant cooling.” Adobe walls built in Iranian deserts actually form ice with the method. He and Chalom did a two-year research project on the technique as part of former Gov. Bill Richardson’s Energy and

Water Savings Initiative. They ran solar thermal collectors backward at night, sending heat back to the night sky and cooling a building’s interior. “It turns out it is effective and cheap to do,” Stickney said.

Now all of Solarlogic’s solar heat collector systems are wired with a pump to run the system backward and cool a house.

Solar electricity Solar photovoltaic systems, better known than solar heating, have gained a lot of traction in Santa Fe in the last decade. Still, most of the power Public Service Company of New Mexico supplies to Santa Feans is from coal, natural gas and nuclear sources. Part of the city’s sustainability plan is to switch to renewable energy.

The renewed interest in solar electricity combined with much cheaper photovoltaic panels, generous tax credits and a small payback from PNM is driving solar sales and helping local solar businesses.

In 2002, none of the city’s operations was powered by renewable energy. By the end of this year, city energy specialist Nick Schiavo hopes 20 percent of the city’s power needs will come from the sun. That puts him halfway to the city’s goal of 40 percent renewable energy.

The city is waiting for permission from PNM to add another megawatt of solar at the Buckman Direct Diversion and 500 kilowatts of solar at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center parking lot, Schiavo said.

On their own, more than 700 PNM customers have installed solar photovoltaics on their own roofs, producing all or most of their own electricity.

Community solar also holds a lot of promise for Santa Fe, but only if PNM agrees to the idea.

Schiavo and others are negotiating with the utility currently to build a 5-megawatt community solar project at the old landfill site. The city would use at least half of the energy. Businesses or residents in the city who can’t put solar on their rooftops could lease the rest of the energy produced by the system at a fixed energy price over 20 years.

Santa Fe County also is adding solar. The new county courthouse has a 113-kilowatt solar PV system that powers about 15 percent of the building.

“We’re looking at the feasibility of adding solar to other county buildings,” said Craig O’Hare, a county energy specialist.

Santa Fe Public Schools has jumped on the solar electric bandwagon. Voters approved a $2 million general obligation bond for solar on district buildings recently. The money will build a 200-kilowatt solar PV system at Capital High School first. It will help put a 50-kilowatt solar PV system on a parking lot structure at the new Agua Fría Elementary School on South Meadows Road. Another solarized parking structure will go up at Piñon Elementary.

“We like the idea of affording shade and solar electricity at the same time,” said the school’s conservation program director, Lisa Randall. “We’re not big on putting them on rooftops because of maintenance issues.”

As Santa Fe’s primary power provider, PNM also is adding renewable energy. It is mandated to provide 20 percent of its retail electric sales from renewable sources by 2020. The utility increased its use of wind and solar from almost zero in 2002 to 10 percent now, but it is playing catch-up to meet the state’s renewable energy requirement.

Continued from Page A-1 if their efforts meant little on a worldwide scale.

And within a couple of years, volunteers and city staff involved with the Sustainable Santa Fe plan began to look at how the community could be more resilient and less vulnerable, regardless of what happens with the climate.

“Sustainability is really dependent on three principles: environmental stewardship, economics and social justice,” said Katherine Mortimer, who heads the city’s sustainability efforts. “You can’t benefit the same people that get benefited all the time.”

Santa Fe County is also beginning to address many of these issues through various plans and land development ordinances.

Creating a self-sufficient Santa Fe is on the minds of many people in the city and the county.

“I would like to see it as a community by 2030 that is dramatically less wasteful of manufactured and natural resources,” said Gene Butler, owner of The Firebird in Santa Fe. “It doesn’t cost jobs. If anything, on a broader scale, it would probably create jobs.”

In simple terms, the sustainable community would “give as much back to the environment as much as we take,” said Casey Moir, an AmeriCorps volunteer working with Earth Care Santa Fe, whose mission is to “educate and empower young people to create healthy, just and sustainable communities.”

City Councilor Chris Calvert, who helped foster renewed efforts with the Sustainable Santa Fe plan, said educating the next generation about the goals is as important as reaching them right now.

“They are the ones who will carry it forward,” he said.

He thinks about what the city could look like in the decade ahead.

“I’d love to see everyone with solar on their rooftops, riding their bikes on our interconnected trails or taking the bus,” he said. “I’d love to see everybody harvesting as much water as possible, getting our per capita water use down and being the model for the United States.

We’ve done well, but water use is starting to creep up again.”

When those actions become habit, “when we all adapt and take on those things we are preaching now,” then we’ll have success, he said.

Creating a sustainable, adaptable, self-sufficient Santa Fe has many challenges if it is to be more than just a pipe dream. Over the next six days, The New Mexican explores where we’ve made progress, where we’re falling short and the many actions residents are taking to get us where we want to be.

Amid onslaught of information, pieces fell into place

By David Montgomery, Sari Horwitz and Marc Fisher

The Washington Post

BOSTON — Within hours of the Boston Marathon bombing, investigators were already overwhelmed. Bloody clothing, bags, shoes and other evidence from victims and witnesses was piling up. Videos and still images, thousands of them, were pouring in by email and Twitter.

The authorities secured a warehouse in Boston and immediately filled the space: On half of the vast floor, bloody clothes were laid out to dry so they could be examined for clues or flown to FBI labs for testing. In the other half of the room, investigators pored through video, “looking for people doing things that are different from what everybody else is doing,” Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said Saturday.

The work was painstaking: One agent watched the same segment of video 400 times. The goal was to construct a timeline of images, following possible suspects as they moved along the sidewalks, building a narrative out of a random jumble of pictures from thousands of different phones and cameras.

It took a couple of days, but analysts began to focus on two men in baseball caps who had brought heavy black bags into the crowd near the marathon’s finish line but left without those bags. The decisive moment came Wednesday afternoon, when Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick got a call from state police: The investigation had narrowed in on the man who would soon be known as Suspect No. 2, the

A photo provided by Bob Leonard shows brothers Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, in white cap, and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in black cap, on the sidelines of the Boston Marathon on Monday. The image was taken approximately 10 to 20 minutes before the explosions. BOB LEONARD/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

man police captured Friday night bleeding and disoriented on a boat in a Watertown driveway.

Patrick said the images of Suspect No. 2 reacting to the first explosion provided “highly incriminating” evidence, “a lot more than the public knows.”

How federal and local investigators sifted through that ocean of evidence and focused their search on two immigrant brothers is a story of advanced technology and old-fashioned citizen cooperation. It is an object lesson in how hard it is to separate the meaningful from the noise in a world awash with information.

The killing of Tamerlan Tsarnaev and the capture of his younger brother, Dzhokhar, may seem like an inevitable ending given that their images were recorded by store security cameras and bystanders’ phones. But

for 102 hours last week, nothing seemed certain in the manhunt that paralyzed a major metropolis, captivated the nation and confronted counterterrorism operatives with the unforgiving world of social media and vigilante detective work.

While the analysts combed through videos frame by frame, a more traditional tip was developing at Boston Medical Center.

Jeffrey Bauman, groggy from anesthesia, his legs just removed at the knee, managed to eke out a request for pen and paper.

In the intensive-care ward, Bauman, who had been near the finish line to see his girlfriend complete Monday’s race, wrote words that would help lead to quick resolution of the bombings that killed three and injured 176 others: “Bag. Saw the guy, looked right at me.”

FBI agents quickly came to Bauman’s bedside. A man in sunglasses and black baseball cap had walked right up to him, placed a black backpack on the ground and stepped away, Bauman said.

Of course, investigators had 2,000 other leads, too, in the form of photos and video that “almost became a management problem, there was so much of it,” said Davis, who led the local piece of the probe from a ballroom at the Westin Hotel where 100 officers and commanders from local, state and federal law enforcement collaborated. The room was equipped with tables for laptops, power strips and, most important, land lines, since cellphones were unreliable in the chaos after the bombings and satellite phones worked only if you stood by a window.

Davis had learned of the central importance of video from a police commander in London after the public transit bombings there in 2005, when the city’s extensive system of surveillance cameras led to identification of four suspects within five days of the attacks, after examination of hundreds of hours of video.

Eight years later, the social media revolution meant that the FBI and Boston authorities were under intense pressure to move even faster, because thousands of amateur sleuths were mimicking the official investigation, inspecting digital images of the crowd on Boylston Street and making their own conclusions about who might be the bombers.

On an investigative forum of Reddit.com, since removed from the site, users compiled thousands of photos, studied them for

suspicious backpacks and sent their favorite theories spinning out into the wider Internet.

“Find people carrying black bags,” wrote the Reddit forum’s moderator. “If they look suspicious, then post them. Then people will try and follow their movements using all the images.”

In addition to being almost universally wrong, the social media theories complicated the official investigation, according to law enforcement officials.

Those officials said Saturday that the decision on Thursday to release photos of the two men in baseball caps was meant in part to limit the damage being done to people who were wrongly being targeted as suspects in the news media and on the Internet.

That decision, which appeared to be a straightforward request for the public’s help, turns out to have been an intentional tactic.

As investigators reviewed images, the men in the black and white baseball caps stood out from the rest, Davis said.

By Wednesday afternoon, said Patrick in an interview Saturday, investigators had narrowed in on images of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as the most likely suspect. “It was a remarkable moment when they narrowed in on Suspect Number 2,” he said.

Law enforcement officials debated whether to release the photos, weighing the risk of the suspects fleeing or staging another attack against the prospect of quicker identification.

Officials said they went ahead with the appeal for three reasons: u Investigators didn’t want to risk having news outlets put out the Tsarnaevs’ images first,

which might have made them the object of a wave of popular sympathy for wrongly suspected people, as had happened with two high school runners from the Boston area whose photos were published on the front page of the New York Post under the headline “Bag Men.” u During a briefing Thursday afternoon, President Barack Obama was shown the photos of the suspects. Senior administration officials said that although Obama was not asked to approve release of the images, the president offered a word of caution.

Be certain that these are the right suspects before you put the pictures out there, he advised his national security team, according to the administration officials. u Investigators were concerned that if they didn’t assert control over the release of the Tsarnaevs’ photos, their manhunt would become a chaotic freefor-all, with news media cars and helicopters, as well as online vigilante detectives, competing with police in the chase to find the suspects. By stressing that all information had to flow to 911 and official investigators, the FBI hoped to cut off that freelance sleuthing and attend to public safety even as they searched for the brothers.

Once the photos were made public Thursday, the FBI tip line filled with calls, including one from the brothers’ aunt, who provided her nephews’ names, according to federal officials.

As investigators expected, making the photos public not only brought in new information, but also spurred the brothers into action.

Boston: How to treat suspect becomes matter of national debate Continued from Page A-1 1984 Supreme Court decision, “in order to question the suspect extensively about other potential explosive devices or accomplices and to gain critical intelligence.”

A delay in issuing Miranda warnings is justified when suspected terrorists are captured in the U.S., according to a 2010 memorandum from the Justice Department. But on Saturday, the American Civil Liberties Union warned against too broad of an interpretation of that exception.

“Every criminal defendant is entitled to be read Miranda rights. The public safety exception should be read narrowly.

It applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is not an open-ended exception to the Miranda rule,” said Anthony Romero, the ACLU executive director.

The Miranda warning would come into play only if prosecutors planned to use any incriminating statements Tsarnaev might make against him. Federal authorities may feel they already have amassed much evidence against the teenager.

Miriam Conrad, the federal defender for Massachusetts, told The Associated Press her office expects to represent Tsarnaev after he is charged. Conrad says she thinks he should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there are “serious issues regarding possible interrogation.”

How to treat the surviving bombing suspect became a matter of debate Saturday.

Four Republican members of Congress demanded that he be treated as an enemy combatant rather than as a common criminal suspect. An enemy combat-

ant can be charged under the laws of war in a military commission or held indefinitely without charge as a prisoner or detainee of war.

In a joint statement, Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., wrote: “The accused perpetrators of these acts were not common criminals attempting to profit from a criminal enterprise, but terrorists trying to injure, maim, and kill innocent Americans.”

Tsarnaev, they said, “clearly is a good candidate for enemy combatant status. We do not want

this suspect to remain silent.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said the administration “should resist hasty calls to treat the suspect as an enemy combatant. This is not a foreign national caught on an enemy battlefield, but an American citizen arrested on American soil.”

The intelligence community is poring through all terrorism-

related intelligence in federal databases, including State Department, Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security and FBI systems, to see what can be found on Tsarnaev, said an official who was not authorized to speak on the record.

“What we are doing now is going through basically everything we have, looking for nonobvious terrorist links we might have missed, looking for internal

connections, overseas connections,” the official said.

Officials are also interviewing Tsarnaev’s family members in the U.S. and abroad. The family has roots in Chechnya, a wartorn region in Russia’s Caucasus Mountains. The brothers were raised in nearby Kyrgyzstan before the family moved to the U.S. in 2002. The younger brother became a naturalized citizen on Sept. 11, 2012.

TEXAS PLANT EXPLOSION

Safety rules limited for small fertilizer plants

By Jack Gillum and Ramit Plushnick-Masti The Associated Press

There were no sprinklers.

No firewalls. No water deluge systems. Safety inspections were rare at the fertilizer company in West, Texas, that exploded and killed at least 14 people this week.

This is not unusual.

Small fertilizer plants nationwide fall under the purview of several government agencies, each with a specific concern and none required to coordinate with others on what they have found.

The small distributors — there are as many as 1,150 in Texas alone — are part of a regulatory system that focuses on large installations and industries, though many of the small plants contain enough agricultural chemicals to fuel a major explosion.

The plant in West had ammonium nitrate, the chemical used to build the bomb that blew up the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995, killing 168 people.

According to a document filed in 2012 with the Texas Department of State Health Services, the maximum amount of this “extremely hazardous substance” the plant had on hand at any time was 90 tons.

It was also authorized to handle up to 54,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia, a substance the Texas environmental agency considers flammable and potentially toxic.

“This type of facility is a minor source of air emissions,” Ramiro Garcia, the head of enforcement and compliance at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, told The Associated Press.

“So the inspections are complaint driven. We usually look at more of the major facilities.”

No federal agency determines how close a facility handling potentially dangerous substances can be to population centers, and in many states, including Texas, many of these decisions are left up to local zoning authorities. And in Texas, the state’s minimal approach to zoning puts plants just yards away from schools, houses and other populated areas, as was the case in West.

That plant received a special permit because it was less than 3,000 feet from a school.

The damage from the blast destroyed an apartment complex, nursing home and houses in a four-block area.

State and federal investigators have not yet determined the cause of the disaster, which occurred Wednesday night after a fire broke out at the site after work hours. The explosion that followed could be heard miles away and was so powerful it registered as a small earthquake.

The West Fertilizer Co. stored, distributed and blended fertilizers for use by farmers around the Central Texas community. The plant opened in 1962 outside the rural town of 2,800, but development gradually crept closer.

Over the years, the fertilizer company was fined and cited for violations by federal and state agencies.

Last summer, the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration assessed a $10,000 fine against West Fertilizer for improperly labeling storage tanks and preparing to transfer chemicals without a security plan. The company paid $5,250 after reporting it had corrected the problems.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also cited the plant for not having an up-to-date risk management plan. That problem was also resolved, and the company submitted a new plan in 2011. That plan, however, said the company did not believe it was storing or handling any flammable substances and didn’t list fire or an explosion as a danger.

David Gray, an EPA spokesman in Dallas, said the company’s plan identified a worstcase scenario as an accidental release of all 54,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia, which at room temperature is a gas.

The risk management plan also did not cite a possible explosion of ammonium nitrate, the solid granular fertilizer

stored at the site. But that would not be unusual, he said, because ammonium nitrate is not regulated under the Clean Air Act. The plant’s plan said there was no risk of fire or explosion and noted they had no sprinklers, water deluge or other safety mechanisms installed.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality also dealt with the company and issued a permit for handling anhydrous ammonia, which requires safety equipment the company had told the EPA it didn’t have. But the commission acknowledged it may never have checked to confirm the equipment was there.

“It’s a minor source under the Clean Air Act so it doesn’t get much scrutiny at all,” said Neil Carman, a Sierra Club clean air expert and chemist who used to work for the commission.

The company’s last contact with regulation may have come as recently as April 5, when the Texas Office of the State Chemist inspected the plant. But that agency focuses mostly on ensuring that commercial fertilizers are properly labeled and blended, said Roger Hoestenbach, the office’s associate director. Inspectors found no problems, he said, but they would not have checked for safety systems such as sprinklers.

huddled, Bryce Reed, a paramedic and spokesman for the town of West, told residents Saturday morning that small tanks were leaking and had triggered small fires in one part of the town. He said they were small and were contained, and didn’t cause further injuries.

“The whole place is still on fire, smoldering, all that kind of stuff. It could spark up,” Reed said. But, he cautioned, “There isn’t really enough structure left to light up and burn.”

Reed described dozens of portable, white tanks at the site that are typically filled with anhydrous ammonia from larger storage tanks for when farmers request them. The tanks get weak when they are exposed to fire and bleed, he said.

The tanks are attached to plows pulled by tractors and feed streams of the chemical into the ground as the plow passes to fertilize.

same neural aspects of consciousness as adults.”

The findings hint at an early shift from a largely passive biological process shared with other animals to the uniquely human ability to ponder ourselves and our surroundings in complex and abstract ways.

Researchers spent the better part of five years fiddling with fussy babies — at 5, 10 and 15 months of age — who had to sit still while wearing a cap with 128 electrodes and watching images flicker before them at eye-blink intervals.

Researchers have spent decades observing infants’ eye movements, attempting to delve into such issues as memory, cognition and perception.

But there is a limit to what they can infer.

The French team recorded brain waves in the 80 infants who could sit still while wearing their electrode caps. While adult-like wave forms were somewhat weaker and delayed in 5-month-olds, they were strong and sustained in the older babies, the researchers reported.

Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman found in the early 1990s that America’s high school equivalency certificate was not equivalent in the labor market.

By Michael Alison Chandler

WASHINGTON — Hundreds of thousands of high school dropouts hoping to earn an equivalency diploma will have to pass a more challenging GED test that is being designed to improve the prospects of low-skilled workers in a high-tech economy.

The largest overhaul in the exam’s 70-year history follows growing criticism that it has fallen far short of its promise to offer a second chance for the 39 million adult Americans without a high school diploma.

Very few of those who pass the GED test pursue higher education, and most struggle to earn a living wage.

The new exam, scheduled to be introduced in January, will emphasize skills that are more relevant to today’s employers and colleges, including critical thinking and basic computer literacy, as the test goes digital and the pencil-and-paper version is abandoned. It also will be aligned to national academic standards approved by 45 states and the District of Columbia, matching it more closely to the education students are now expected to receive in public schools.

CT Turner, a spokesman for the GED Testing Service, said the new test is motivated by the economic reality that a GED alone, like a high school diploma, will not help the approximately 800,000 people who take the test each year. The test has to become a “stepping stone” to college, he said.

“If we are not going to give them a chance to better their lives, we are giving them false hope,” he said. “We are assigning them to a dead-end job.”

The United States has slipped from first in the world to 16th in college attainment for young adults, a trend that President Barack Obama has pledged to reverse.

The battery of tests known as the GED, for General Educational Development, was first administered in the 1940s to give returning World War II vet-

erans a way to return to school and take advantage of the GI Bill. It expanded as federal funding began flowing to adult education programs and GED programs were introduced in prisons. The test has increased in rigor four times. Today’s challenge — to prepare high school dropouts for college — is steep, particularly given that many preparation programs squeeze four years of high school material into crash courses offered in church basements, said Terry Grobe, a program director for Boston-based Jobs for the Future.

The average GED test taker is 26 years old, and nearly a quarter of all test takers are 16 to 18.

Historically, most test takers’ aspirations have ended with the GED. A 2011 study by the GED Testing Service found that although about 60 percent of test takers said they planned to pursue postsecondary education, just 43 percent enrolled.

Of those who went on, about a third dropped out after a single semester and only 12 percent graduated.

Without further schooling, the GED offers little economic payoff. Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman found in the early 1990s that America’s high school equiva-

How much fun was that?

mulated “substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving.” When and how did this astonishing reversal in values occur in our society? Who gets to decide who is “deserving,” what is “needed” and what is “reasonable?”

If you are Karl Marx, then the answer is easy: from each according to his means to each according to his need. Given this kind of thinking, the Grasshopper gets bailed out in winter.

Stupid, stupid Ant, who was slogging away in fine weather, gets taxed when he has more than he needs. Really?

Anyone tempted to dream of a socialist utopia should be reminded of the examples of 20th-century Russia and China. Stalin and Mao believed it was the job of government to stamp out selfishness and promote the good of the collective. In practice, their Marxist experiments resulted in the starvation and death of millions of their people.

I am not suggesting that liberal Democrats have anything so extreme in mind. However, it is worth asking

why the current economic recovery in the U.S has been so sluggish. What liberal policies have acted as a drag on the economy? u Stimulus spending: Extending unemployment benefits, currently up to 99 weeks, has been a short-term fix that has not addressed the underlying structural problem of jobs. The longer people are out of work, the more skills deteriorate and the greater the difficulty in rejoining the labor force. u Entitlements: Americans on disability have doubled in the last decade.

Clearly, being on unemployment or disability insurance has become more advantageous than working at a minimum-wage job. Perhaps, some have elected not to be part of the labor force. u Health care: Currently 90 percent of health care costs are incurred by 20 percent of the population. Some doctors and health care professionals I have spoken to are frustrated by the burden imposed by people who smoke, drink, abuse drugs, who are obese and who do not comply with medical directions.

As a country, we need to admit to the moral hazard inherent in liberal ideology.

There is an important difference between a helping hand in exceptional circumstances and a system of permanent handouts. Who we are as a nation is at risk when we provide incentives to citizens to rely on government to take care of all problems and make all decisions. Do we want a safety net or a safety sofa?

I am skeptical of extreme liberal ideology. Contra Marx, I respect the bourgeoisie and think there is a social advantage to self-interest. It is people who can work hard, who are proud of what they earn and build, who see a mutual benefit in law-abiding and civil-minded behavior, it is those people who sustain the stability, peace and strength of a country.

To criticize the savers of a society is to invite a plague of locusts. I don’t think we want to go there.

ow that the state-run health insurance exchange act has been signed into law, New Mexicans are wondering what will happen from here. A positive outcome can be the increase in job opportunities for those who work in the health care profession, specifically social workers and nurses, with an increase in employment due to the Exchange Act. Care managers will be needed to help the nearly 200,000 New Mexicans who are uninsured find guidance with shopping online for health care plans, beginning October 2013.

This is a great opportunity for New Mexican social workers and nurses to provide their unbiased expertise and knowledge about health insurance and making sure New Mexicans find affordable insurance for their families and protecting them from insurance companies that are looking for profit rather than what is best for the consumer. So, we hope the state will utilize the health care professionals who are looking out for the best interest of all New Mexicans.

Show their votes It was very disappointing that nowhere in its front-page story did The New Mexican (April 18, “Senate Rejects Curbs on Guns”) inform readers of the item most important and relevant to New Mexicans: How did our Sens. Martin Heinrich and Tom Udall vote on these measures? It would have been easy to insert a small box in the article giving us these votes.

A normal definition Thank goodness that Mr. Paul Kokoski resides in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and

not in Santa Fe. Perhaps the union of man and woman is central to his sexuality, but to imply that we must all adhere to his definition is very misguided. And of course the issue of same-sex marriage is marriage — because guess what Mr. Kokoski? — there is nothing abnormal about homosexuality.

Protecting prairie dogs The city Parks Division has been removing prairie dogs from virtually all openspace city land, even though the Prairie Dog Ordinance passed with a massive amount of public support a few years ago. The city’s action of widespread removal, with no public notification or input, definitely circumvents the spirit of this law.

Prairie dogs are native to Santa Fe. They reproduce slowly, breeding just once a year.

Often, only one to two offspring survive their first summer. The animals we see are direct descendants of ancient towns that long preceded any human habitation here.

Unbelievably, it is possible prairie dogs may disappear from Santa Fe in the next year or so. Our natural history is being taken from us. The public must be included in decisions like this that change Santa Fe significantly and permanently.

Anyone concerned about this should call their city councilors and email a message to saintfrancisandtheprairiedog@gmail.com.

An extraordinary plea To the honorable Jeff Bingaman: Please, run for governor! I know Gary King and Hector Balderas have promise, but we need proven, bold, wizened, Democratic leadership, now! I was born, educated, raised my own family and work in epide-

miology here. I’ve voted for you every time.

We need you now.

Regressive politics rule the day. Plutocracy is rampant. Conservative talk, corporate tax breaks and jerry-rigged education reforms have not, and will not, save neither our future nor our present. Dedicated, educated workers are left, burdened, with paying the state’s bills. Who among us can afford a 20-minute ride to space, much less increases in child, elderly and health care.

The GOPers are tanking the economy and the middle class with intent.

Please, please, please, I know you must be tired of the politics. We are too, but you can win, you can make the progressive, Democratic difference. Run, be New Mexico governor extraordinaire!

Choice of words After reading the well-reasoned and thoughtful comments of the various movie house stakeholders quoted in an article regarding the new theater moving into the Santa Fe Railyard, I was taken aback by the misleading and inappropriate headline “Cutthroat cinema” chosen for the story. With this attempt to generate controversy rather than reporting on what’s actually happening, The New Mexican becomes untrustworthy as a local news source. It wastes its readers’ time and is an embarrassment to the Santa Fe business community.

I wouldn’t have bothered to write if this were a one-time mistake. Unfortunately, this comes on the heels of last week’s story completely trivializing the Happiness Initiative.

Repeated missteps like this are why The New Mexican will find itself becoming increasingly irrelevant as more readers turn to various new-media sources for accurate news.

guess my job just got more important last week. As one of my colleagues in the Capitol newsroom pointed out, I get to cover one of the 100 most important people in the world.

That person, of course, is Gov. Susana Martinez, who was included in Time magazine’s annual list of top 100 “titans,” “icons,” “pioneers,” “artists” and “leaders.” Martinez was included in the latter category. The governor even got a glowing essay from none other than Karl Rove, who wrote, “If she is re-elected in 2014, her reputation as a reform-minded conservative Republican could grow even more in a second term.”

If state Democrats wanted to get all sour-grapesy, they could point out that Martinez shares space on the list with the likes of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and Igor Sechin, a former KGB official who now is a top honcho in Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin.

Steve Terrell Think about what a great attack ad that would make.

Roundhouse However, it probably would backfire Roundup because Barack and Michelle Obama as well as Vice President Joe Biden and Pope Francis also are on Time’s list — not to mention another influential person who has spent a lot of time in New Mexico, actor Bryan Cranston of the hit TV series Breaking Bad. But Martinez did not get a place on another list released last week — political pundit Larry Sabato’s rankings of possible 2016 presidential contenders. Sabato, who directs the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, listed nine possible GOP candidates, breaking them down into different tiers.

Sabato’s top tier for Republicans included Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (who was the only governor besides Martinez on on Time’s top 100 most influential list.) There were six other GOP leaders. But no Susana.

One of Sabato’s Twitter followers asked him about the absence of Martinez and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, another prominent Hispanic in the party. Sabato responded, “possible, but more likely as VPs?” Hold your fire: I thought after last week’s Roundhouse Roundup that I was done writing about the failed House Bill 77, the bill that would have required background checks for people buying firearms from unlicensed dealers at gun shows.

But I thought about that ill-fated legislation when, on Wednesday, I received an interesting news release from the state Republican Party with the subject line “Senate Attempts to Limit Second Amendment Rights Fail.”

The email was referring to the U.S. Senate and its votes that day on several gun-control measures, including the compromise by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Penn., which, like HB 77, would have required background checks for people buying firearms from unlicensed dealers at gun shows. (Manchin-Toomey would have gone a little further and also would have required background checks for Internet gun sales.)

“We at the Republican Party stand firmly in support of protecting the Second Amendment, and we oppose new laws that will do nothing but limit our freedoms and restrict law abiding gun owners,” GOP Chairman John Billingsly said in the news release.

As I pointed out last week, the final version of HB 77 was a bipartisan compromise that House Republican Whip Nate Gentry was instrumental in crafting. It received several Republican votes on the House floor, and Gov. Susana Martinez said she would have signed the bill unless the Senate made major changes in it.

I asked party spokeswoman Jamie Dickinson about this.

She replied, “HB 77, introduced by Rep. Miguel Garcia (D-Albuquerque), was a bad bill with serious implications.

We appreciate the work of multiple House and Senate members to make amendments in an attempt to make the bill less harmful; however, the party opposed HB 77, just as we opposed the measures yesterday in the Senate.”

Still, I can’t help but wonder whether the party would have sent a similar news release had HB 77 passed and Martinez signed it into law.

OUR VIEW

Toward a green, thriving Santa Fe

B

ack in the day when Santa Fe was a frontier outpost, sustainability was a necessity of life. That’s because settlers had to grow their own food, weave their cloth and build their own homes — goods from the outside came infrequently, and what did arrive often cost too much for the average citizen. People made do with what was here, just as the original Native settlers had done for centuries before.

Once transportation improved, so did access to the finer things of life. Residents of the American territory watched the wagons roll in, loaded with cloth, food, furniture and other supplies from the United States. Train tracks connected the West with the world, and eventually, dirt roads were paved and wagons became automobiles and trucks.

Communities, far from being self-sufficient, became dependent on the greater world for food, energy and supplies that made living sweeter.

Fast forward to now, when the international city of Santa Fe — with visitors from around the world, a well-traveled population and exotic food — is beginning to realize that so much dependence on the world can be a bad thing. Energy, as we discovered in the winter of 2011, can be cut off. That year, Northern New Mexico was plunged into cold when the natural gas pipelines froze. Trucks bringing in food and other goods use expensive gasoline, sometimes pricing items at a level people can’t afford, not to mention the effect on the climate. Food grown elsewhere, then shipped across the ocean and trucked into town, has a big carbon footprint; and that’s without worrying about what kind of seeds or methods are used in the crops we consume.

The notion now is to shift from dependence to independence and discover a more sufficient way of being. That is Santa Fe’s challenge. This week, as we mark Earth Day, reporter Staci Matlock will explore how Santa Fe is meeting its goal of becoming sustainable, from examining our use of solar power to our unrelenting need for water. In the series, starting today, The New Mexican also will look at trash and recycling, the laws that protect dark skies, public transportation, the local food movement and the green economy.

Earth Day, officially celebrated on April 22, is the obvious time to take stock of who we want to become and who we are. Santa Fe, for example, has exciting plans to incorporate more solar power, lessening our dependence on fossil fuels both at an individual and a community level.

We will learn how public agencies such as Santa Fe Public Schools and the city of Santa Fe began conservation movements, saving hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars.

Water, and the lack or abundance thereof, is the West’s most important resource issue, and this series will look at Santa Fe’s thrifty water ways and how to continue along that sustainable path. Throughout the week, we will introduce readers to people who have changed their lives and approaches to the environment. There’s Gene Butler, who changed his Firebird store to make his business greener, starting with light bulbs and reducing waste. Those changes have saved him money and helped the planet. Lisa Randall, who works for the schools managing resources, figured out how to help each school save electricity and water — slashing the district’s yearly utility bills. In fiscal year 2012, the district saved 6.8 million gallons of water.

Those savings go back into the classroom.

In both the global and local sense, it matters if we as a community walk lightly on the Earth. Climate change is affecting the entire world, with New Mexico’s long-term drought a reminder that our corner of the world is parched and likely to get worse. For the planet and for ourselves, it makes a difference if we are prudent with the Earth’s bounty.

Locally, the more we grow and do for ourselves, the less likely we are to be without given a natural disaster or other calamity. The goal of Santa Fe’s leaders, both city and county, is to extend that individual streak of self-reliance community-wide, so that Santa Fe and its surroundings remain strong and vibrant in the decades to come. Sustainability should be more than a buzz word. It should be a way of life.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: April 21, 1913: At a meeting of a committee appointed by the synod of New Mexico of the Presbyterian Church, it was decided to open a school for the training of ministers for New Mexico missions. The school is to be located at Albuquerque, and a fine building will be erected. The Rev. Lansing B. Bloom, formerly of Las Cruces, and now doing missionary work at Jemez, is to have charge of the school.

April 21, 1963: San Fidel — Followers of John R. Harrell, founder of a religious cult, believe communists are responsible for the disappearance of their leader. Harrell and seven members of his family have been missing since April 1, when their car was found abandoned near Springfield, Ill. Harrell, who reportedly had $14,000 in cash with him when he disappeared, was moving the base of the Christian conservative Church to San Fidel from Louisville, Ill. “He was abducted.” A. Vance Comer, a pastor of the anti-communist sect, said. “I don’t know who got him, but the communists are in back of it.”

In Boston, the luck ran out

By William Saletan

Slate

WASHINGTON very once in a while, a terrorist sets off a fatal bomb in the United States.

In 1993, it was the World Trade Centers. In 1995, it was Oklahoma City. In 1996, it was the Atlanta Olympics. Now it’s Boston. Each time it happens, we’re shocked.

But the attacks we see or hear about on TV are just the surface. The FBI is constantly tracking bomb plots. If you look at the bureau’s most recent cases — the ones in which it has announced investigations, arrests, indictments, convictions or sentences since the beginning of 2012 — you’ll discover that during this time frame, Boston is the 21st case involving explosives. And when you study these cases, you realize how lucky we’ve been.

The next Boston may not be far behind.

Here are some of the patterns in the FBI case list: Diverse targets. We expect attacks on big, iconic buildings, such as the Pentagon and the World Trade Centers.

Some of the recent plots fit that pattern: The perpetrators reportedly targeted or considered targeting the U.S. Capitol, the New York Stock Exchange, Grand Central Terminal, Times Square, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, a federal courthouse and George W. Bush’s home. But others picked softer targets: electrical plants, bridges, synagogues, restaurants, bars, night clubs, malls and a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. Good luck protecting those places.

Bomb size. Three of the 20 previous cases involved car bombs. All were inoperative, thanks to prior infiltration by law enforcement. One plotter thought he was detonating a 1,000-pound bomb. Another thought he was detonating an 1,800pound bomb. Another tested his device at a quarry and said he wanted a bigger blast. The carnage in Boston could have been worse. Much worse.

Everyday ingredients. Two plotters

E

connected to al-Qaida used high explosives. But many cases involved common household items (clocks, phones, Christmas lights, auto wire, fishing weights, soda bottles) or chemicals that weren’t inherently suspicious (acetone, hydrogen peroxide, rat poison). Even the gun powder used in one explosive device was extracted from common shotgun shells.

One case involved pressure cookers, a component that may have been repeated in Boston.

Backpacks. If they were used to deliver the Boston bombs, that shouldn’t surprise us. Three other plotters on the 2012-13 list used them, too.

Ingenuity. Among the 20 cases, the cleverest device — too clever, apparently — was the chemical underwear bomb in Detroit, with its syringe detonator.

Another perpetrator wounded a man by hiding his device in a gift basket. A third researched ways to conceal explosives in a doll or a baby carriage.

Luck. In three of the 20 cases, the plotters had prior contacts with al-Qaida or other known terrorist groups outside the U.S. In five other cases, the plotters reached out to fellow jihadists or jihadist wannabes, either online or through other unspecified channels. This seems to be how we infiltrated and disarmed those plots, except for the underwear bomber.

We’re plugged in to the jihadist network.

Of the 12 remaining cases, one was an AWOL soldier, which presumably made him a hunted man. Another was a bushleague pipe-bomb maker, apparently for hire. Another was a bunch of anarchists who discussed their scheme with one person too many. We were in on those plots, too.

That leaves nine cases. In two of them, the defendants had explosives but no known targets. How did we discover the explosives? Dumb luck. One guy alarmed his neighbors by shooting at bottles from his back door. When the cops showed up, they found chemicals and devices they

recognized, according to an indictment, as bomb components. Another woman shot at two utility workers who ventured onto her property to turn off her water for nonpayment. A search of her home turned up 122 improvised explosive devices.

In a third case, a former chemical engineering student who was assembling explosives for a violent jihad campaign needed one final chemical, phenol, to complete his recipe. The supplier shipped it, but the freight company felt uneasy about delivering it to a home address, so they alerted police. In a fourth case — the one involving the backpack and the parade — a former Army artilleryman managed to place his bomb along the parade route. He was foiled, according to the FBI, only because “alert city workers discovered the suspicious backpack before the march started.”

In the remaining five cases, we were at the bombers’ mercy. Two of them, it turned out, were just using the bombs to extort or intimidate. They gave warnings, and their devices were intercepted or (according to an FBI statement of arrest) disarmed via controlled detonation. The other three bombs went off.

Together, the 20 cases tell us several sobering things. First, the Boston Marathon is just the beginning of an expanded target list. Bombers have already aimed at restaurants, bars and malls. We can expect more plots against gathering places where security is difficult, if not impossible, to guarantee.

Boston is just the tip of the iceberg.

What’s surprising isn’t that the marathon bombing succeeded, but that so many other plots failed. It’s been more than a decade since this country endured a major bombing. We’ve been lucky. In Boston, our luck ran out. Don’t be surprised if it happens again.

When news breaks out, just wait

By Farhad Manjoo Slate

PALO ALTO, Calif. nspired by the events of the past week, here’s a handy guide for anyone looking to figure out what exactly is going during a breaking news event.

When you first hear about a big story in progress, run to your television. Make sure it’s securely turned off.

Next, pull out your phone, delete your Twitter app, shut off your email, and perhaps cancel your service plan. Unplug your PC. Now go outside and take a walk for an hour or two. Maybe find a park and sit on a bench, reading an old novel. Winter is just half a year away — have you started cleaning out your rain gutters? This might be a good time to start. Whatever you do, remember to stay hydrated. Have a sensible dinner. Get a good night’s rest. In the morning, don’t rush out of bed. Take in the birdsong. Brew a pot of coffee.

Finally, load up your favorite newspaper’s home page. Spend about 10 minutes reading a couple of in-depth news stories about the events of the day. And that’s it: You’ve now caught up with all your friends who spent the past day and a half going out of their minds following cable and Twitter.

In fact, you’re now better informed than they are, because during your self-imposed exile from the news, you didn’t stumble into the many cul-de-sacs and dark alleys of misinformation that consumed their lives. You’re less frazzled, better rested, and your rain gutters are clear.

Breaking news is broken. That’s the

I

Editorial page editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

clearest lesson you can draw about the media from the last week, when both old- and new-media outlets fell down on the job. By now you’ve likely heard the lowlights. CNN and the AP incorrectly reported on Wednesday that a Boston Marathon suspect had been arrested.

People on Reddit and editors at the New York Post wrongly fingered innocent kids as bombing suspects. Redditors also pushed the theory that a Brown University student who has been missing for more than a month was one of the bombers — a story that gained steam on Twitter when people listening to police scanners heard the cops repeat the student’s name. Though everyone should have been careful to dismiss chatter heard over the scanner, few did. Caught up in the excitement of breaking news, I was one of many journalists who retweeted news that the Brown student was one of the suspects — a fact that, in the morning, I feel absolutely terrible about.

Twitter’s comeuppance could not have come soon enough. Earlier in the week, many social-media tough guys were calling CNN’s failing a sign of the times — proof that cable news couldn’t keep up with the Web. CNN was criticized for not taking the time to check its sources’ claims that the cops had arrested a “darkskinned” suspect. The failure seemed in keeping with cable news’ inherent weaknesses. News takes time to develop, but because cable anchors have to fill up airtime and want to scoop their rivals, they’re eager to speculate and grab at any halfway credible sounding story they hear from their sources. Twitter, everyone on

Twitter agreed, was better than that.

Then, a day later, people on Twitter made exactly the same mistakes. Besides the mistaken identification of the Brown student, Thursday night’s tweeters — including many local reporters covering the manhunt — couldn’t get straight whether one or two suspects had been arrested, whether the suspects were dead or alive, and whether they were light- or dark-skinned. Even more weirdly, many on Twitter were now making fun of CNN for being behind — for not following the news in the same slipshod manner as Twitter. By staying behind, though, CNN avoided the Web’s embarrassment. For all its mistakes, the network at least didn’t falsely identify anyone.

The useful distinction here isn’t by medium. It’s silly to say that Twitter is a better way to follow breaking news than CNN, or vice versa. The real problem is that both Twitter and CNN now depend on technologies that make it possible to follow breaking news too closely.

We get stories much faster than we can make sense of them, informed by cellphone pictures and eyewitnesses found on social networks and dubious official sources like police scanner streams. Real life moves much slower than these technologies. There’s a gap between facts and comprehension, between finding some pictures online and making sense of how they fit into a story. What ends up filling that gap is speculation.

Governor’s solar veto won’t deter group

C

itizens group Got Sol, with $185,000 of bipartisan support from 27 legislators, proposed to design and construct a solar system for the state’s Government Complex buildings. The funding provides immediate start-up costs to construct a solar system to provide electricity for the Roundhouse, the heart of the Government Complex. This shovel-ready project can offset 20 percent or more of the roughly $60,000 it costs to power the Capitol Complex a month. We, the taxpayers, are responsible for that electric bill month after month. This cost-saving measure will pay

for itself in three to six years, reducing that charge for taxpayers.

Got Sol emerged from the 2012 New Mexico Climate Masters class in Santa Fe. The group agreed to donate 30 vol-

unteer hours to educate New Mexicans about alternative energy and provide solar leadership. These volunteers went far beyond their commitment by learning from scratch the legislative process of submitting a capital outlay request to the Legislature for funding the Government Complex solar project.

Got Sol volunteers visited the Roundhouse daily to solicit support for the project, a financial benefit and job-generating prospect for New Mexicans.

With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, New Mexico is perfectly positioned to be a leader in solar energy. Where

best to start that leadership than at the very heart of the state, the Roundhouse? After countless hours of researching, talking with experts throughout the state, and seeking guidance and support from legislators, Got Sol crafted the proposal for the solar system to power the Government Complex, starting with the Roundhouse. Research showed that the new parking garage was already designed for solar panels, a perfect place to initiate the project.

Legislative support of $185,000 far exceeded Got Sol’s expectations and fueled the optimism that drove the group forward. That optimism was

The conservation generation?

If the aim then was conservation, where is Earth Day now?

2013 marks a different age, a different geological age. Climate change, alongside degraded ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity, dramatizes an altered planet; so deeply altered that the age of sufficient stability to host all the human civilizations ever known, the late Holocene, is exiting.

Scientists have already named its successor — the Anthropocene. If the defining mark of the Holocene was climate stability conducive to life, the Anthropocene tattoo is cumulative human action powerful enough to alter the core surface processes of the planet. Collective activity is doing so everywhere — in the atmosphere, in ocean waters, across landmasses. While these core changes are humanly induced (“anthropocene” refers to human domination), they occur even where humans have little bodily presence — at the polar ice caps, in ocean depths, in the upper regions of the atmosphere and underfoot.

Everything — air, water, soil — is sufficiently impacted so as to render Planet Home passing strange.

y the late 1960s, air and water pollution had created serious environmental damage — acid rain, smog, toxic sites and urban blight. Yet there was little national legislation: no Environmental Protection Agency, no Clean Water Act, no Endangered Species Act. Land, rivers and people were all dumped on.

In 1969, two dramatic events cornered the evening news. California’s pristine coast at Santa Barbara saw a massive oil Larry spill wash ashore, Rasmussen and Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River caught on fire. U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson flew back from Santa Barbara with an idea: an annual Earth Week and Earth Day. Capital Hill signed on, and calendars soon announced April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day. Initially celebrated by 20 million Americans, Earth Day quickly went global. By the 30th anniversary, 184 countries held celebrations, with a focus on clean energy. A decade later, on the 40th anniversary, climate change took center stage. Earth Day at 40 also remembered Nelson’s address of 20 years earlier: “I don’t want to have to come limping back here 20 years from now on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and have

Not counted for steady seasons of seedtime and harvest, for glacial waters feeding great rivers, for sea levels trustworthy enough to permit the building of great cities, for sufficient time for flora and fauna to adjust to new insect predators and diseases, or drought and deluge, for governments capable of marshaling resources to handle disasters of greater number and intensity or to allay the conflicts that arise when desperate people are rendered helpless and homeless en masse, for rainfall and snowpack and enough resources to assure that future generations will survive and thrive, and for ocean biochemistry stable enough to maintain eons-old underwater rainforests.

Because we have ignored the first law of economics — the preservation of Earth’s economy — and because we have forgotten that human well-being is always derivative of planetary health (Thomas Berry), Nelson’s conservation generation is history. Earth Day then and Earth Day now are literally ages apart. The challenge this Earth Day and for many to come is to find the manner of living appropriate to the Anthropocene.

recent article in The New Mexican reported that the city of Santa Fe is asking water consumers to be even more economical in the use of our water resources.

This further conservation may not be sensible unless accompanied by a drastic change in city and county building-permit policies.

This is because the history of our local governments has been not to retain saved water for use during a prolonged drought. Instead, they grant the water saved by you and me to the building of new homes and commercial space. This just adds to the water-shortage problem and puts the existing residents in potential jeopardy.

The reason almost always given for this shortsighted policy is that we need the jobs. This rationalization allows the creation of short-term jobs and by doing so, creates long-term water and other infrastructure problems that threaten the very quality of life that we all value here.

The threat to Santa Feans is at least twofold. First, during a drought, which we are apparently in right now, we will have no choice but to have to cut water use by, who knows, 10 percent to 90 percent. The Pecos River growers will be receiving just 10 percent of their normal allotment of water this year. Then, there is the cost of the infrastructure required to support (subsidize) the new growth. Traditionally, taxpayers have had to pick up the cost of most, if not all of that, usually in the form of another bond issue.

We can no longer afford to follow this outdated policy. Only a few benefit from this at the expense of the many. And for most of those who do benefit, because of constructionrelated jobs, those jobs do not last long so they require even more construction in order to keep the cycle going. This policy must be reexamined.

Today the cost of that short-term thinking is evident. For example, more than $200 million of taxpayer money was required to build a water-diversion plant to supply the water required to accommodate the past growth in water users in Santa Fe. Who pays for that? Who benefited? What made that major expense necessary?

If building permits were reserved for individuals who wanted to move here and wanted to build and then occupy their own homes, and were not given out to the dozens of forprofit developers as well, our water problem would not be nearly as dire as it is now. Nor would we have to pay out of pocket to provide as much infrastructure.

Then, there’s the big issue looming on the near horizon: Water rationing along the Rio Grande. To meet the drought-driven demands of the many water users from three states and two countries, a mandatory cutback in allocations is inevitable. What then?

What then for Santa Fe, compared to the average water user along the Rio Grande? Santa Fe already has cut back to a water use per capita that is 30 percent to 50 percent less than most other users along the river. If a 20 percent enforced cutback is mandated, it will impact us severely, while other users such as Albuquerque would just be approaching Santa Fe’s current per capita use. Their quality of life will not be severely affected.

What is the point of all of the above? It is to have you consider what the call to conserve really can mean.

And to ask you each to discuss this with your elected city and county representatives and demand growthrelated policies that make sense in the long as well as the short run.

MY VIEW: JAMES LODES

City must keep eye on costs

T

he article about the city Parks Division feeling the pinch (“Parks Division feels the pinch,” April 15) due to higher water consumption and cost was intended to compliment the Parks Division for only increasing its water usage 35 percent while it expands the number of parks by 14 and increases park and roadway landscaping.

At the risk of throwing cold sand on this rosy picture, let me make a few points. First, it is not the Parks Division that is paying for the additional water expenses. It is we, the taxpayers. This seems to be a common misperception.

Second, the reason the costs are rising for not only the Parks Division, but for all residents, is that the city of Santa Fe has had to purchase water rights and build expensive projects like the Buckman Direct Diversion system to meet increased demand. We now know 38 million gallons of that increased annual demand apparently came from the Parks Division’s irrigation projects.

That amount of water would have satisfied the water needs of more than 1,700 households.

Further, we have one part of city government, the Parks Division, increasing water usage 35 percent for irrigating grass while another part, the Water Division, is scratching heads

over where to find more water and when to impose strict water rationing in the face of the continued drought and drying reservoirs and rivers.

Somehow this does not seem to make sense. Who is responsible for reconciling conflicting priorities?

Lastly, there have been instances over the past few years where anticipating the operating costs of projects is ignored. Recently, we heard about the motocross track closing for lack of insurance. It appears that the water requirement and water costs for these new irrigation projects were not adequately considered prior to undertaking them. It is great to keep rolling bonds over and building stuff, but the city needs to address these issues, not leave it until after completion when we are suddenly faced with a choice between shortchanging something else to pay for the unanticipated operating expenses, or raising taxes, or after spending millions close down a project and, in this case, let landscaping die.

Let’s try to do the entire job in the future. Let’s not have it seem that the taxpayer is being hornswoggled.

Southwest CARE expands its services

I

t is great news for the community of Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico that the Southwest CARE Center organization has expanded with two new locations in Santa Fe. We have recently opened Southwest CARE Center: Family Medicine, a primary care facility at 1691 Galisteo St., established in response to requests from our patients for more primary care resources. Additionally, on April 3, Southwest CARE Center officially acquired Women’s Health Services, a primary care facility that has been providing health care in Santa Fe for thousands of women, men and children for the past 39 years. The newly named Southwest CARE Center: Women’s Health Services and Family Medicine will continue seeing its patients and will also accept new ones, at its 901 W. Alameda St. location without interruption.

For the past 17 years, Southwest CARE Center Specialty Services has been dedicated to the care and treatment of people living with HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C at our 649 Harkle Road location in Santa Fe, through testing, prevention, treatment and research.

It has been an honor for me and the

staff of Southwest CARE Center to care for people with HIV/ AIDS and hepatitis C over these years, as well as to participate in research and clinical trials. In the past, HIV/AIDS meant a Dr. Trevor death sentence. Now, Hawkins for the most part, it means the management of a chronic disease. Research is changing the landscape of treatment for hepatitis C at an even faster rate, with truly amazing improvements in curative treatment with as little as one pill a day for 12 weeks. This focus of Southwest CARE Center Specialty Services at Harkle Road will not change.

During these 17 years of focus on HIV/AIDS, Southwest CARE Center has worked diligently to find complementary opportunities, such as an onsite pharmacy, that address the needs of our community and generate revenue to help support and expand the services we provide. At this time, our organization has grown into a robust institution that is able to expand our

Southwest CARE Center: Family Medicine provides primary care, comprehensive travel medicine, is equipped with a state-of-the-art infusion center (which will allow us to treat certain patients on an outpatient basis who previously had to be admitted to the hospital) and offers comprehensive sexual health services, including rapid HIV and hepatitis C screening. Our acquisition of Women’s Health Services gives us the opportunity to collaborate with a longstanding, excellent medical institution.

Southwest CARE Center Women’s Health Services and Family Medicine provides sex and gender-specific care,

family practice, internal medicine, behavioral health integrated into primary care, annual wellness visits and physical exams, routine and same-day care for all ages, chronic disease management, pap smear and bone density screening, gynecological services and procedures, family planning, acupuncture services and alternative therapies.

Our Aid & Comfort Fund (of which the hallmark event is the Aid & Comfort Gala, celebrating its 25th year in the Fall of 2013) remains dedicated to helping HIV/AIDS patients cover health care related items that aren’t covered by insurance or other financial programs.

Our award-winning Es Mejor Saber® bilingual HIV and Hepatitis C prevention and awareness campaign will continue to be implemented throughout Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.

We look forward to expanding our delivery of health care at the three Southwest CARE Center locations.

Ruling means Federal budget fixes nothing sacred need long-term focus

I

n the news recently was an evolving situation in France regarding the auction of objects identified as sacred by the Hopi people of Arizona.

Auctioneer Gilles Neret-Minet at the Drouot auction house says the objects, alleged to be stolen spiritual vessels the Hopis want returned, went on sale because a French judge found no impediment to it.

Countering that assessment was a lawyer for Survival International and the Hopis who argued at an April 11 hearing that the items were “unsellable” under French law due to their perceived spiritual value. However, Municipal Judge Magali Bouvier ruled that the items, “despite their sacred character for the Hopi, cannot be likened to dead or alive beings,” according to media reports.

Two main issues underlie this situation: The consideration of sacred objects maintained by an indigenous tribal nation and their recognition as such worldwide. And, the international art market, which places immense monetary value on historical or cultural objects due to their perceived rarity.

The concept of sacredness for these objects has apparently been placed within an arbitrary hierarchy of importance by this French municipal judge, locating the Hopi sacred pieces in a tier below objects associated with orthodox religions, whether stolen or not.

Dealers had feared the judge would rule in favor of the Hopis, thereby creating the potential for crippling the sales of millions in “antiquities,” setting a precedent through which they might actually have to give back sacred objects to the people from whom they were stolen.

Bottom line: It should not matter whether these were holy relics important to the Catholic faith or sacred objects vital to the Hopis. I know that sounds like sacrilege, but in the realm of faith and what people do in the world to keep the clockwork of the universe spinning, it all should matter equally.

The precedent the French judge has set is worse than spoiling potential sales in the international art market. It is stating to the world that nothing is sacred. Nothing.

On guns: Just what is prudent?

I

f decent, law-abiding American citizens had the right to keep and bear bombs, maybe they could have foiled the bad guys in Boston before they had a chance to set off their bombs.

As ridiculous as this sounds, it’s really just an extension of the argument that hard-core gun-rights advocates use to justify any attempts to curb what they believe are their Second Amendment rights.

The key issue in this whole controversy has to do with the definition of “arms” as it relates to each citizen’s right “to keep and bear arms.” The opinions range from total government control of all private ownership of weapons to no limits whatsoever. If you’re a pacifist, a sling shot could be considered arms whose possession should be regulated; if you’re a survivalist or a terrorist, there would be no restrictions on how you might arm yourself, be it an assault rifle with a 30-round clip, machine gun, grenade, bazooka, tank, surface-to-air missile, or even a weapon of your own design, up to and including a bomb. So, where should the line be drawn?

When called to make civillaw rulings in gray areas, American judges invariably rely on the criterion of what a reasonable and prudent person would do, and if it’s a constitutional issue that transcends multiple rights, then the decision they render is usually based on what is in the best interest of the collective rights of all the citizens.

Within this context, and in light of the recent events at Sandy Hook and Boston, does the majority of Congress, and quite possibly, the majority of the Supreme Court really believe that it is reasonable and prudent to allow the continued sale of high-powered assault weapons with magazines holding 30 or more cartridges and to not require background checks for the purchase of these or any other weapons in a country whose homicide rate far exceeds that of any other nation in the free world? More importantly, is this in the best interest in the collective rights of the American people?

rity. This would erode the value of benefits over time, disproportionately harming seniors of modest means.

Most importantly, it would be a breach of faith, damaging the social compact and leaving younger people to wonder whether other such lapses for the sake of convenience might leave them with no Social Security at all.

Our problem is that we don’t want to pay for the true value of the benefits that we receive. For most of us, Social Security and Medicare are the only sources of income and care that we can count on, and because of that they are of extraordinary value.

A meaningful reform of Medicare would require that we confront headon the excessive cost of health care in our country, and that we do it in a way that does not expect patients to shop for lower costs as if they are fully informed and empowered consumers vis-a-vis the medical community. For both Medicare and Social Security, we need to look at the regressive nature of the taxes that support them. As a first step, we can raise the cap on income subject to the Social Security payroll tax and graduate the Medicare tax in accordance with income, both before and during retirement.

In the face of enormous increases in productivity and wealth, the benefits of which have been so unequally shared, to maintain that the young can be served only by taking from the old is disingenuous. If we address those economic issues that really divide us, then we will be able to deal with budget deficits while also improving the education of our youth and protecting the social safety net for all. With every proposal for compromise and reform, we need to ask the question: Does this strengthen or weaken the ties that that unite us as a nation?

ecent discussions of the federal deficit and “fixes” for Social Security and Medicare have focused too much on short-term financial issues and too little on the longterm social implications of proposed changes. More ominously, the discourse has now verged over into what may become a divisive and destructive intergenerational conflict.

We Americans pride ourselves for our individual autonomy within a framework of patriotic dedication to the common good, yet we often fail to think carefully about how social and economic policies may unite or divide us. We need to be more conscious of how we can build greater social cohesion and solidarity within our nation, because in the long run, they are what make us strong.

One of the most destructive talking points now being used by politicians and pundits is the notion that Medicare and Social Security, in their present form, represent an unjustified transfer of wealth from the young to the elderly.

Not only does such talk threaten to escalate into a dangerous conflict between young and old, but it can lead toward even more serious divisions between Americans of greater and lesser wealth.

The proposal to means-test benefits is one of the most socially divisive ideas currently under discussion. It would turn Medicare and Social Security into welfare programs, depriving them of broad-based support. Furthermore, it would be complex and expensive to administer, requiring a knowledge of both income and assets and lending itself to fraud and abuse. Finally, it would penalize the person of moderate means whose frugality over a lifetime might build the assets that could then bring lower benefits in retirement.

Time for Israel State’s animal treatment matters For those who to talk about I choose not to ignore democracy for all the many acts of

M

anny Marczak’s recent reflections (My View, “Israel: 65 years and going strong,” April 7) on the pairing of Israel’s Memorial and Independence Days, brought to mind my own trips to Israel and the West Bank. A visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, took all my breath away as I came face to face with the gaping wound in the human family inflicted by intentional and methodical efforts to Rev. Jim annihilate the Brown Jewish people.

The birth of the state of Israel in the aftermath of the Holocaust called for just the sort of celebration hosted by Temple Beth Shalom last week. Mr. Marczak is surely right to highlight what has been accomplished in the last 65 years as Israel has forged a society combining human values, Jewish culture and heritage.

Mr. Marczak is also right to note that all is not perfect in Israel. In October, I made a trip to the West Bank to pick olives with Palestinian farmers.

I discovered that their lands are being eroded on a daily basis by more and more settlements, bypass roads for Israelis only, buffer zones and atrocities like Israel taking away Palestinian rights to 85 percent of the water on the West Bank — which is now diverted from Palestinian olive trees and household needs to supply water to West Bank settlements and Israeli homes, farms and businesses. In the last few decades, more than 800,000 olive trees on the West Bank have been uprooted, and life for Palestinians has been marginal-

ized to the point that seasoned observers now wonder if there is any real possibility for a twostate solution.

After a week’s labor harvesting olives with Palestinian farmers, who love their land as much as Israelis do, I made my way to Ben Gurion Airport for my trip home. Before boarding my plane, I picked up a copy of the English edition of Haaretz, one of Israel’s leading daily newspapers. It contained the results of a survey of the Jewish public on the future of Palestinians in Israel. A stunning finding was that 58 percent of Jewish Israelis believe that Israel currently practices apartheid against Arabs.

Anyone working in Palestinian farmers’ fields with the eyes to see cannot miss this fact. In the same issue of Haaretz, the columnist Gordon Levy decries what is happening. “We’re racists ... we practice apartheid and we even want to live in an apartheid state ... Democracy — sure, why not. But for Jews only.”

A little over a year ago, I attended a lecture by the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren. He declared that Israel is “a democracy on steroids,” suggesting, as does Manny Marczak, that Israel is indeed a modern, flourishing nation committed to freedom, liberty, democracy and the rule of law. My hope is that during the celebrations that took place last week, there will be conversation about love and justice for all, including several million Palestinians who also embrace the Holy Land as their ancestral home.

Monument designation good for business

A

s a local business person, I’ve seen plenty of research that shows that the most diverse economies are the healthiest economies.

All the economic studies are clear: Instead of relying on one employer base for the entire region, a healthy economy includes a mix of opportunities for growth across industries.

One area here in Northern New Mexico where we have an excellent opportunity to grow and diversify is in the tourism and outdoor recreation industry.

That’s why I was so glad to hear that President Barack Obama recently designated the Rio Grande del Norte as a national monument.

This designation will permanently protect the diverse wildlife habitat prized by sportsmen; outdoor recreation like rafting and camping; and sites critical to our Hispanic and Native American heritage.

This can only mean good things for the economy of Northern New Mexico.

A recent study by BBC Research & Consulting found that approximately 325,000 people visit Rio Grande del Norte annually, about half of whom come from states other than New Mexico. These visitors spend money on local goods and services, helping to support our rural economy. The same study estimates that the increase in tourism expected as a result of the national monument designation could boost the local economy by $15 million and create 279 new jobs.

Municipal leaders are always seeking this kind of opportunity to help “market” a region and lure new investment — be it institutional, corporate or even entrepreneurs seeking a new quality of life and community from which to operate their small businesses.

The Rio Grande del Norte National Monument could be a powerful magnet for such new

investment in Northern New Mexico.

That’s one reason why I support the new Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. It gives entrepreneurs, retirees and tourists another reason to look to Northern New Mexico.

Attracting visitors for recreational purposes is the most obvious economic benefit of the designation. However, studies also show that access to public lands is a great way to attract prominent businesses from a variety of industries to an area.

According an analysis available of economic trends from 2000 to 2010, researchers at Headwaters Economics concluded that “New Mexico is attracting people and investment, while creating jobs faster” than the rest of the country.

The Headwaters economists also found that part of our economic advantage is our protected public lands, like the Rio Grande del Norte, which is important for attracting people and business across a range of service sectors.

(The analysis is available online at http://headwaterseconomics.org/land/reports/ new-mexicos-economy-andprotected-lands/.)

The new national monument designation also protects the existing traditional uses of these public lands like hunting, fishing, grazing and gathering of firewood, piñon and medicinal plants — all important parts of our heritage and history.

This is why I support the new Rio Grande del Norte National Monument designation. It protects a unique part of our nation’s heritage and is an investment in our local economy, culture and future.

The president’s designation guarantees that the Rio Grande del Norte will be preserved for future generations to enjoy.

write to address the videotaped killing of a horse by its owner outside Roswell.

The owner is a former employee of Roswell-based Valley Meat, a company hoping to bring commercial horse slaughter to New Mexico. The man, who shot his horse while cursing animal welfare advocates (and who is not going to be charged with any crime), and his former employer, Valley Meat Co., are at the nexus of larger economic, technological and social issues affecting this state. Those include the need to develop New Mexico’s economy, the advent of communications technologies socially connecting people and New Mexico’s dismal record of animal cruelty.

New Mexico is out of step with a growing social consensus in which animals are recognized as the sentient beings they are.

In the past year, we have seen a contest to kill coyotes; the miles-long dragging of a dog behind a truck in response to a domestic dispute; the poisoning of prairie dogs in Curry County; and the state’s failure to fund spay-and-neuter programs, leading to an explosion of homeless dogs. New Mexico is out of step with most Americans and the animal protection laws of most states. In this, it is increasingly becoming known for its backwardness. That jeopardizes its chance of achieving economic development.

Tourist revenue plays a vital role to the New Mexico economy. And the state recognizes it in investing in the innovative “New Mexico True” marketing campaign, which seeks to increase tourism through social media. A benefit of social media,

Taos or Albuquerque, has enjoyed the highest growth in visitor spending. This has translated into life-giving jobs and tax revenues for local communities, and it is no doubt welcome. However, as tourists learn about New Mexico through its social media campaign, they also witness the sadness of animal cruelty in this state, whether that be a pack of starving dogs in Gallup, coyote carcasses hung on fences or a man shooting his horse to terrorize those pleading for its life.

Of course, the very digital platform used to disseminate New Mexico True is the same digital platform available to all Americans (and, indeed, people globally).

Through social media, anybody can share their impressions, experiences, thoughts and opinions of New Mexico. New Mexico’s problem with animal cruelty is thus no longer important only to people in the animal welfare community; it an issue of immediate economic impact to all. For those who choose not to ignore the many of course, is its potential to have content acts of animal cruelty here, New Mexico is go viral — spreading the image of New hardly the “Land of Enchantment.” If New Mexico True.

Gonzales: Stepping out of politics — for a while Chairman of the state Democratic Party looks back on his tenure

By Steve Terrell

The New Mexican

At the end of the month, Javier Gonzales will step down as state chairman of the Democratic Party. But, Gonzales insists, he

will not be leaving politics.

However, he’s not necessarily thinking about some behind-the-scenes, party-elder position. In fact, Gonzales said in a recent interview, he’s considering running for some elected office.

“I was raised believing in public service,” Gonzales said. “I’ll probably spend the summer evaluating options that I might have, whether it be on the elected side or other, and make a decision at that point. I certainly don’t plan on leaving politics.”

He declined to say which office or offices he’s considering running for.

Back in the mid-1990s, when he was serving on the Santa Fe County Commission, Gonzales made little secret that he was interested in running for Congress. But now he says that’s not on his horizon, as long as incumbent U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, holds the seat. Luján, Gonzales said, is a longtime friend and former schoolmate.

He said serving in an elected office isn’t the only way to “influence good outcomes

for your state.” He said his work on the Board of Regents for New Mexico State University is one example.

He’s also vice president for corporate responsibility for Rosemont Realty. “Part of that is developing the Rosemont Leadership Institute, which will provide 30 New Mexico kids with $25,000 scholarships,” he said.

In the recent interview, Gonzales talked about his tenure as party chairman — the

FBI training puts sheriff’s officer in elite group

School opens its doors to teach community about deaf culture

Only three Santa Fe-area officers have had the opportunity to attend prestigious academy

of the state, visiting homes and schools to teach American Sign Language in an effort to help family members communicate with deaf students. Many of these children live in isolated areas of the state and may have no other chance to receive such support. It is estimated that 90 percent of all deaf children come from hearing families.

Monica Keller, who lives in Silver City and works with AmeriCorps clients around the southern part of the state, said via an interpreter that the program gives its clients “access to language. If they are around deaf people in their family and can’t speak with them, it is confusing.”

She said the program reinforces, to both deaf students and their hearing siblings and parents, that “they can be successful and have their own language.”

At a nearby media booth, AmeriCorps’ Dawn Croasmun showcased a number of films made by deaf media artists that are performed in sign language (with English-lan-

The FBI National Academy is extremely selective in accepting lawenforcement applicants from all 50 states and countries all over the world. And as of March, two of its graduates work for the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.

Maj. Ken Johnson joins Undersheriff Ron Madrid as the second person from the sheriff’s office to graduate from the 10-week academy held in Quantico, Va. Sheriff Robert Garcia, who nominated Johnson for the program two years ago, said the academy trains law-enforcement executives in leadership and investigative tactics, and also in how to handle tragedies such the Newtown, Conn., school shooting and the recent Boston Marathon bombings.

Less than 1 percent of all law-enforcement officers in the country have the opportunity to attend the academy. Only three Santa Fe-area officers have attended the program — Johnson, Madrid and a retired captain with the sheriff’s office, Terrance Delgado.

In Johnson’s class of 268, which graduated March 22, 49 states were represented by officers, as were 27 countries and members of all five branches of the United States armed forces. All costs to attend the academy were covered by federal sources.

Attendees are trained by FBI special agents and other instructors, many of whom are recognized internationally in their fields of expertise, according to the academy’s website.

The academy was created in 1935 after a 1930 study recommended the standardization of law-enforcement departments across the country through centralized testing. The average waiting list for applicants is about two years.

“The biggest honor was to be able to represent our department and Santa Fe among some of the top law-enforcement officers in the world,” Johnson said this week. “It was a humbling honor.”

Johnson said he attended management classes and classes in forensic science investigation, and survived a rigorous fitness routine.

A Santa Fe native and a graduate of Santa Fe High School, Johnson graduated from the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy when he was 21. He then joined the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, where he has worked for 21 years.

edy Udkovich-Stern imagines that a lot of people driving down Cerrillos Road past the New Mexico School for the Deaf wonder what goes on behind its walls.

That’s one reason the school and its AmeriCorps members — who teach American Sign Language to hearing parents and siblings of deaf students — hosted an American Sign Language/Deaf Culture event Saturday on the campus. Udkovich-Stern, the school’s family support specialist, gave hourly tours of the school’s museum, which is generally open to the public only by appointment.

School Superintendent Ronald Stern — only the eighth superintendent in the school’s roughly 125-year history — said via an interpreter Saturday that, “There are a lot of inaccurate myths and perceptions about us.

If we open ourselves up to the public and increase ways for the public to integrate with our community, it will bode very well for all of us.”

In brief

“We are investigating it as an accidental death,” he said. “There are no signs of foul play, no injuries consistent with child abuse.” He said the death was reported to the state’s Children, Youth and Families Department as per procedure.

A 3-year-old Santa Fe girl died after a piece of furniture from a bunk bed set struck her head around 2 p.m.

Saturday afternoon, according to the Santa Fe Police Department. Deputy Chief William Johnson said by phone Saturday evening that the girl’s family was constructing bunk beds in their residence on Arroyo Risueno when the accident occurred. The girl was transported to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, where she died of her injuries, he said.

Group fights approval Funeral services and memorials of El Prado dollar store

OLIVER PEREA APRIL 16, 2013

KATEY LEYBA BACA

Petition cites parking, impact on local businesses

By J.R. Logan The Taos News

TAOS — Opponents of a proposed Family Dollar store in El Prado say the Taos County Planning Commission “made numerous errors and/ or abused their discretion” in giving the store the go-ahead in February.

Tennessee-based developer The Hutton Company plans to build an 8,300-square-foot, pre-engineered building just south of Orlando’s New Mexican Café. The project received the necessary approvals by the Planning Commission in February.

An appeal to the Planning Commission’s decision was filed recently. According to county regulations, the project will be put on hold until the Taos County Commission considers the issue sometime within the next two months.

The appeal challenges the approval of a special-use permit — a requirement for the store to do business — as well as a variance that would allow the store to put a parking on the side of the building facing the road rather than behind the structure as required by county regulations.

The appeal, signed by more than 20 people, questions whether the national discount retailer is “compatible” with the surrounding area. “Does El Prado have to surrender its distinctive and historic character to the cookie cutter design of a 7,400-store national chain without any regard for local flavor?” the appeal reads. “Family Dollar incorporates nothing that gives it any local flavor beyond putting stucco on a metal box of a building.”

The appeal also states that the parking issue is a “selfimposed hardship” because the developer chose to buy 1.1 acres of a 2.3-acre plot rather than the entire property.

Local engineer Alex Abeyta, who is acting as the local agent for The Hutton Company, did not return messages seeking

comment. At the February meeting on the project, Abeyta repeatedly said the building and business would be “compatible” with the neighborhood. He pointed out that the developer agreed to move the location from the Overland area, and noted that the current site had far fewer critics.

A report from the Taos County Planning Department found that having parking in the front of the business is part of the “established neighborhood character” of El Prado. The appeal challenges that assertion, and lists 23 El Prado businesses, most of which have the majority of their parking on the side or in back of the building.

The Hutton Company drew significant criticism when it proposed to build the Family Dollar on a vacant pasture adjacent to the Overland Sheepskin Co. in late 2011.

Because of the outcry, the developer abandoned those plans and selected the current site, which it argues is in a much more business-dense part of El Prado.

The property is owned by Joe E. and Vicki A. Silva and has previously been used by Silva’s Excavation Inc. for equipment storage. Under a contract with the Silvas, The Hutton Company agreed to purchase 1.1 acres for $390,000, though the sale is contingent on the developer getting approval to move forward with the store.

The Planning Department says the estimated cost of the proposed store is $1.3 million.

Attached to the appeal was a petition signed by people opposed to the construction of a Family Dollar. Included with the petition were comments disparaging Family Dollar for hurting locally owned businesses, paying employees a low wage and undermining the unique character of El Prado.

A spokesperson from Family Dollar’s corporate office wrote in an email that the company has “a history of coexisting with existing businesses in the area, and have, in some cases, increased business. … Family Dollar strives to be a good community partner and we look forward to becoming a positive part of El Prado.”

Police notes The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating the following reports: u On Friday, a Santa Fe woman told police that an unknown person had used her personal information to purchase items at a clothing store. u A Santa Fe man reported Friday that a former employee took the man’s sausage-stuffing machine and refused to return it. u On Wednesday, a Santa Fe woman told police that while she was in Florida in November and December of 2012, the woman who was staying at her Santa Fe house forged the victim’s signature on a car title and sold her car. u A Santa Fe man said someone broke the rear window of his 2007 Mazda as it was parked in the 100 block of Sandoval Street and stole a Sony PlayStation Portable worth $200.

Speakers offer inside look at immigration Reform proposals focus of local event

By Adele Oliveira The New Mexican

“I’m a responsible, hardworking person,” said Lorenzo Ramirez Morales, who came to the U.S. from Mexico 18 years ago and has lived in New Mexico for 12 years. “And I want to continue to follow my dream of starting my own business, and maybe providing jobs for someone else.”

Ramirez Morales, who has mostly worked in construction, was among speakers at what organizers called a town hall meeting at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center concerning proposed immigration reform legislation in Congress.

The Thursday evening event was co-sponsored by the city of Santa Fe Immigration Committee, United Worker Center of New Mexico (a project of Somos Un Pueblo Unido), the Northern New Mexico Central Labor Council and the Santa Fe Interfaith Leadership Council.

“I’ve had employers who didn’t pay me for overtime or

sometimes at all because they took advantage of my immigrant status,” said Ramirez Morales, who also said he has never received direct government benefits. He added that he’s been passed over for promotions as a supervisor or foreman in favor of less-skilled co-workers because of his immigration status.

An 844-page Senate bill would create a path to eventual citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States. The bill would allow people to apply for “registered provisional immigrant” status. After 10 years of such status, they could apply for lawful permanent resident status, and then, three years later, U.S. citizenship.

The bill also aims to better secure the U.S. border and includes provisions to protect immigrant workers in their relations with employers. Agricultural workers and applicants to the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals program would be eligible for an expedited five-year path to legal status.

A coalition of state, federal and tribal agencies and nonprofit groups is starting a campaign aimed at curbing illegal dumping across New Mexico.

The yearlong campaign will include billboards, posters, radio spots and television commercials. Officials say a toll-free number and website (www.nodumpsnm.com) have also been set up for reporting illegal dumping.

The executive director of the New Mexico Association of Counties, Paul Gutierrez, says the consequences of illegal dumping are felt by everyone. He says local governments spend thousands of dollars cleaning up dump sites every year, and that takes funding away from other services.

Gutierrez also says property values, economic development and tourism can be affected by illegal dumping.

Several cleanup events are planned over the next few months. Locations include Torreon, Dixon, Chaparral and Roswell.

Governor travels for fundraising New Mexico Republican Gov. Susana Martinez is making a political fundraising trip to Nevada and California.

Martinez political adviser Jay McCleskey said the governor attended a Republican Governors Association fundraiser on Friday in Las Vegas, Nev., with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, the RGA chairman.

Martinez also is scheduled to speak Saturday in Las Vegas at a luncheon for the Republican Jewish Coalition’s National Women’s Committee.

On Sunday, the governor and her husband, Chuck Franco, travel to Palm Desert in Southern California for fundraising receptions and meetings for the RGA and her re-election campaign.

Martinez will be back in New Mexico on Monday.

McCleskey said the RGA and the governor’s campaign committee will pay for Martinez’s travel costs.

The bipartisan proposal is sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat from New York. Co-sponsors include Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain and Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin. Representatives from the offices of Northern New Mexico Congressman Ben Ray Luján and Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, all Democrats, read statements Thursday night

that included the phrase “broken immigration system” and expressed support for the bill.

Thursday’s event began with remarks from Mayor David Coss, who told the gathering, “I’m honored to be the mayor of a city that protects immigrant rights.” Coss mentioned his dismay at the failure of proposed gun-control legislation in the Senate earlier this week and said, “This time, we have to get it right.”

In addition to Ramirez

Morales, several other members of the United Worker Center delivered testimony in English and Spanish about their experiences living without documentation in the U.S. Translation headsets were provided to those who weren’t bilingual.

Many of these speakers said they haven’t seen their families in Mexico and Guatemala for many years. Some spoke of being treated unfairly by employers or landlords who were aware of their legal status.

United Worker Center members wore brown T-shirts with the organization’s name on the front and the phrase “The Time is Now” printed on the back.

indeterminate legal status] are not treated as well. We don’t have the same opportunities.”

“I want to meet my family,” Ivanna continued, beginning to cry. “I want the chance to say, ‘Hey, look, there’s my gramma and grampa.’ But I’m scared to cross [the border] and never come back.”

City Councilor Ron Trujillo later told her, “You’re one powerful little girl. Every senator and congressman needs to hear what you just said.”

Deacon Anthony Trujillo, who is the coordinator for Hispanic ministries for youth and young adults for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, commented that “God didn’t create the fronteras [borders], people did.” While supportive of the bill, Trujillo expressed frustration that “it takes 844 pages to say, ‘You’re my brother; you’re my sister.’ ” School board member Lorraine Price spoke only two sentences: “It breaks my heart to stand here and hear this again.

But we shall overcome.”

Questa Mine sues U.S. for cleanup Operator says government should ‘pay its fair share’

By Martin van Buren The Taos News

TAOS — Chevron Mining Inc. is suing the U.S. government over the Questa Mine cleanup, claiming the government bears some responsibility for cleanup costs and even arguing that piles of waste rock along the Red River constitute an environmental benefit.

The molybdenum mine and tailings facility outside of Questa were added to the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s National Priorities List of Superfund sites in 2011. The EPA and Chevron have since been in negotiations regarding required remedies, the cost for which Chevron would be responsible.

Preliminary estimates for work such as removing contaminated soils in the mill area, addressing contaminated waste rock piles and tailing ponds, dredging Eagle Rock Lake and treating water have come close to $1 billion.

The mine, which was operated by Molycorp Inc. before it merged with Chevron about six years ago, has had a long, contentious environmental record in the Northern New Mexico community while providing high-paying jobs to the isolated area of Taos County.

The 3-square-mile underground mine and its tailing ponds are near Red River, and drainages run into the river. The mine started underground operations in 1919, added an open-pit mine in 1965 and went to underground block-cave mining in 1983.

Molycorp undertook cleanups and actions to prevent hazardous substances from leaching into the river from mining operations. But the EPA contended that hazardous substances, contaminants and pollutants from the mining operations were released into the soil, groundwater and sediment in the vicinity of the mine and tailing facility, and into the Red River.

Chevron claims in a civil action filed in U.S. District Court this month that the federal government is liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act for “past, present and future environmental response costs at the Questa site.”

The U.S. government, the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture are named as defendants. “[Chevron Mining] is asking the federal government to pay its fair share of the environmental response costs associated with the Superfund cleanup at Questa as the government has had to do under similar circumstances at other mining sites,” the company said in a statement emailed to the Sangre de Cristo Chronicle.

According to the suit, Chevron “has incurred, and continues to incur, costs of environmental response” related to the cleanup at the mine, including the waste rock disposal area, and tailings disposal area. However, it argues that the U.S. “played an integral role in facilitating mining and waste disposal operations and the consequent releases of hazardous substances.”

Chevron argues that the U.S. government conveyed lands to Molycorp to facilitate the mining operation.

The suit also argues the government provided “extensive oversight” and

financed further mineral exploration, in part to “ensure a ready domestic supply of molybdenum, a strategic mineral deemed critical to national security.” The mineral is largely used as a steel-hardening agent, and the suit alludes to its importance during the Korean War effort.

“It was directly due to the United States’ substantial funding and exploration assistance, as part of the Defense Minerals Exploration Program, that the Mine was reinvigorated, that new molybdenum ore bodies were discovered at the Questa Mine by 1960, and that open pit mine development activities were commenced there,” the complaint states.

It argues that the hazardous substances now of concern to the U.S. “were an inherent part of the mineralized ore in the rock being mined.”

The suit also discusses a 1972 Forest Service environmental analysis, claiming the disposal of “extensive Questa Mine waste rock” near Red River was environmentally beneficial.

“The Forest Service determined that Molycorp’s waste rock disposal on the selected National Forest land actually provided a substantial environmental benefit by counteracting the harmful effects of naturally occurring and highly acidic erosion from ancient hydrothermal ‘scars’ into the Red River,” the suit states, later adding, “In essence, placement of the waste rock into or on top of the scars stopped or reduced the downhill flow of acidic mud into the river basin.”

By 1966, more than 62 million tons of waste rock had been generated at the site, according to the suit, and the “vast majority” of existing waste rock piles were generated prior to 1974. The suit argues that the disposal method helped to control erosion and states that the U.S. govern-

ment “knew and specifically intended that the development and operation of the Questa Mine would result in the generation of mine waste rock,” and that material was dumped on National Forest Service lands.

“The Forest Service expressed its approval of this activity due to the beneficial effects it had on controlling natural mud flows from the unstable natural ‘scar’ areas,” the lawsuit states. “In essence, the United States still receives ongoing environmental and monetary benefit from the very waste rock disposal practice that is now generating enormous remedial costs that [Chevron Mining] is incurring and will incur in the future.”

The suit seeks “the United States’ equitable share of response costs already incurred and to be incurred by [Chevron Mining] in connection with the Questa site,” as well as a declaratory judgment on liability, attorneys’ fees and other costs.

An EPA attorney did not immediately return a call requesting comment. “[Chevron Mining] is committed to protecting human health and the environment,” Chevron says in a statement regarding the suit. “[Chevron Mining] has been and remains open to discussing a way to resolve this matter without having to go through the time-consuming and expensive process of litigation. In addition, despite initiating this lawsuit, [Chevron Mining] continues to work cooperatively with [the EPA] and New Mexico state agencies on the implementation of the environmental remedy for Questa that was selected for the mine through the Record of Decision issued by [the EPA] in Dec. 2010.”

The New Mexican contributed to this report.

Preliminary estimates for work such as removing contaminated soils in the mill area and treating water have come close to $1 billion.

In brief

San Miguel Co. nixes drilling ban LAS VEGAS, N.M. — San Miguel County apparently won’t impose an outright ban on oil and gas extraction, but new restrictions on the industry may be in the offing.

According to the Las Vegas Optic, county commissioners appeared to agree during a meeting Tuesday that it’s impractical to ban extraction outright.

However, commissioners directed county officials and their consultant to draft an ordinance with new restrictions and requirements on concerns such as water use, road damage and waste.

The commission has had a moratorium on oil and gas exploration in the county for over three years, and the commission held four days of public hearings on the issue.

The industry’s supporters say drilling provides jobs and other economic benefits, while critics say communities’ wellbeing could be put at risk.

Giraffe born at Duke City zoo ALBUQUERQUE — Officials at the Albuquerque BioPark say they have a new resident.

Some zoo visitors were lucky enough to see the birth of the giraffe calf Saturday.

The baby giraffe learned how to stand and take its first steps inside the giraffe yard as it was surrounded by its mother, an 18-year-old giraffe named June, and two other female giraffes. Officials say the calf was on its feet and walking within 40 minutes.

The BioPark posted photographs of the new giraffe on its Facebook page Saturday.

Zookeepers and veterinarians are keeping a close eye on the newborn. They’re not sure yet whether it’s a boy or girl.

Pilgrimage honors ‘Blue Nun’ ALBUQUERQUE — Around 30 people are scheduled to make a pilgrimage to the Salinas Pueblo Missions Monument in honor of “the Blue Nun.” Retired educator Henry Casso is leading pilgrims next weekend to visit the mission ruins outside of Mountainair for Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda.

Casso says the pilgrimage is aimed at getting more people behind efforts to push sainthood for the 17th-century Catholic icon and author.

She is lauded in Spain as one of the most influential women in its history.

Sor Maria also is remembered in New Mexico because, according to the story, in her apparition she advised the Jumanos to ask the Franciscans for a missionary for their tribe. Those efforts helped establish peaceful settlements in the territory and in Texas.

Share: Public has little interaction with deaf students Continued from Page C-1 guage subtitles). She said that in general, members of the public who have little interaction with deaf students are probably not aware that such films are made — or that deaf storytellers, visual artists and performance artists work all the time at their craft as well.

One such theater artist is Levi Anderson, who serves as the student life educator at the New Mexico School for the Deaf. A former student, he said Saturday’s open house was designed to educate the public about the school’s mission and history “and to make people aware that we exist.” He and his twin brother, Clay — who can hear — work together as performance artists. Anderson directs the deaf theater show You Call

This a Fairy Tale? which plays at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the school’s James A. Little Theater, a regular venue for many local performing groups.

Little was one of the school’s eight superintendents (19641983), Udkovich-Stern said during the tour of the Kenneth E. Brasel Centennial Museum, which is housed on the second floor above the school’s cafeteria. Brasel — fifth superintendent of the school — opened the museum in 1987. It features a chronological history of the school’s superintendents, original documents, letters and photos detailing the people and history of the school, a display of hearing-aid devices, classroom furniture and learning tools — including a large hand mirror that deaf students used to watch themselves as they worked on

speech lessons, according to Udkovich-Stern.

The school itself was founded by deaf pioneer Lars Larson and his wife, Belle, in 1887, and the two originally held classes in residences on both Manhattan Avenue and Dunlap Street

before the school set up shop at its current locale, UdkovichStern said.

Among the visitors taking in Saturday’s event was Santa Fe Girls’ School sixth-grader Claire Breitinger, who said she is studying American Sign Lan-

guage and wanted to tour the school grounds, and University of New Mexico senior Kimberly Zachensky, who is studying American Sign Language and wants to work as an interpreter.

Though she has no deaf family members, Zachensky recalled a middle-school friend who was hard of hearing and who began to teach Zachensky sign language. “I was captivated,” she recalled. She said she is still learning the language: “There’s always more vocabulary that they can throw at you.”

Organizers hope to make the event an annual affair.

Elite: Sheriff’s office proud of graduates Continued from Page C-1 the FBI, Johnson said he has no intention of taking the experience and parlaying it into a federal law-enforcement career.

“My heart’s in Santa Fe,” Johnson said.

Garcia said he “looks forward to nominating more officers in the future” because he says smaller agencies around the country are not always given the opportunity to nominate as many officers as larger agencies.

“I’m very proud to be able to send someone for training on a national level,” Garcia said.

Johnson said having two graduates of the academy working for the sheriff’s office is already quite an achievement. “For us to have two currently working for a department our size, it’s a really good thing.”

Muscogee poet to give IAIA address A Muscogee Creek poet, author and musician will be giving this year’s commencement address at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. The school says the graduates selected alumna Joy Harjo to deliver the address at the May 10 ceremony.

At 16, Harjo enrolled at the institute to study painting and theater. She graduated in 1968 and went on to earn degrees from The University of New Mexico and the University of Iowa.

The institute will also award an honorary doctorate to Navajo artist Tony Abeyta.

Institute President Robert Martin says Abeyta and Harjo are examples of what IAIA’s visionaries sought to create: revolutionary artists who push innovation and imagination in Native arts.

Gonzales: First entered politics as county commissioner at age 27 Continued from Page C-1 high points and the low — as well as the immediate future of the Democratic Party, which next year faces the task of trying to unseat a popular Republican governor in Susana Martinez.

A life in politics: Gonzales, a 1984 graduate of Pojoaque High School, went on to earn an accounting degree from New Mexico State University. He’s also the son of former Santa Fe Mayor George Gonzales, who served in the late 1960s and early 1970s. George Gonzales, who also had served on the County Commission, ran for the Democratic nomination for a congressional seat in 1972.

Javier Gonzales first entered electoral politics in 1994, when, at the age of 27, he won a seat on the Santa Fe County Commission. At the time, he worked as a business analyst for Los Alamos National Laboratory. He also had two weekly talk shows on his family’s radio station, KSWV. When Bill Richardson was picked in 1997 to be ambassador to the United Nations, Gonzales began campaigning to fill Richardson’s seat in Congress, but he dropped out well before the election when he realized he didn’t have the support of the state Central Committee, which chose the nominee for the special election.

Gonzales seemed to have had enough of politics at that point. In November 1997, he told reporters he was considering not seeking re-election to the County Commission and instead going to business school. But he later changed his mind and won a surprisingly tough re-election to a second term in 1998.

In August 2002, four months before the end of his term, Gonzales resigned from the commission to take a job at a global management consulting company.

In 2006, he was on the Board of Regents at New Mexico Highlands University at the time the board voted to oust Manny Aragon, a former state Senate leader, as president.

Gonzales at the time said that Aragon’s lack of experience in university administration contributed to problems and lawsuits during his tenure. Aragon currently is in federal prison for convictions unrelated to his rocky tenure at Highlands.

Gonzales later was appointed to the New Mexico State University Board of Regents.

The chairmanship: Gonzales was elected Democratic Party chairman in the fall of 2009 after previous chairman Brian Colón decided to step down to run for lieutenant governor. Gonzales was the choice of Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, who would go on to become the Democrats’ 2010 nominee for governor.

“The ironic part is that this was never a position I saw myself running for or seeking,” Gonzales said. Denish, he said, convinced him that being state chairman was the right thing to do.

So, how did he do as chairman?

Judging by the performance of the Democratic Party of New Mexico in the two election cycles since Gonzales became chairman, one might say “terrible” in 2010, “excellent” in 2012.

Of course, it’s never that easy. There are too many factors, both national and closer to home, to blame Gonzales for the nationwide Republican wave of 2010, or to give him complete credit for the Democratic resurgence in 2012.

Following the Democratic sweep of 2008, 2010 was a terrible year for Democrats nationwide. In New Mexico, the Democrats lost the governor’s race, a seat in Congress, the secretary of state position and eight seats in the state Legislature.

“Never in my my wildest dreams did I think that 2010 would have been as rough as it was on Democrats,” Gonzales said.

“We can go back and talk about all the good things Gov. Richardson did and really did well for the state.

But Susana was able to parlay some negative news about the governor and spend a lot of money and tie Diane into that.”

(The “negative news” included stories of federal investigations into alleged pay-to-play scandals in state government.

Richardson never was charged in any of the investigations.)

A resounding defeat in the polls usually means a state party chairman won’t seek another

term. But Gonzales decided to go on, despite a strong and sometimes bitter challenge from Albuquerque lawyer and longtime party activist Sam Bregman. In early 2011, the Democratic Central Committee re-elected Gonzales by an 11-vote margin.

Bregman — who again is running for the chairmanship — was reluctant to talk about Gonzales when asked recently. “I’m looking forward at the future of the party, not at the past, ” he said.

“Certainly there has been a lot of criticism about the responsiveness of the party, and there have been times I’ve been among the critics,” Bregman said.”We need a party that responds to all Democrats in every part of the state.” He declined to elaborate.

Gonzales found some redemption in 2012. President Barack Obama easily carried the state. Martin Heinrich handily defeated Republican Heather Wilson for longtime U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman’s seat. Democrats even won back some of the state House seats they’d lost two years before.

Gonzales said his major role as chairman in his current term was being part of the planning and coordinating of the party’s get-out-the-vote effort as well as raising money. He said since he became chairman, the party has raised more than $6 million.

“We knew that Heather Wilson was going to be on the ballot, and she was going to

Both Block and Sloan were convicted of felonies — in Block’s case, several felonies — in unrelated cases.

“You can’t afford to have the public lose trust in your candidates or elected officials,” Gonzales said.

Gonzales said the Democratic Party has made a transition from a period in which highprofile corruption cases “kind of haunted us” to the current time, “where we have these great Democrats that are emerging onto the scene.”

He named Heinrich, Luján, state Reps. Brian Egolf of Javier Gonzales, left, state Democratic Party chairman, and his Santa Fe and Moe Maestas of father, George Gonzales, a former Santa Fe mayor, are shown Albuquerque, and state Sens. in 2010.

The state’s stagnant jobs numbers will be an issue, he said. So will Martinez’s veto of a bill that would have raised the minimum wage from $7.50 to $8.50. (Martinez has said the $1 increase in the bill she vetoed was too much and would have cost jobs. She said she would have signed the bill had the increase been only 30 cents, which would have made it the same as Arizona’s.)

At the time of the interview with Gonzales, only one Democrat had come forward to challenge Martinez, Attorney General Gary King. “I’ve got a lot of faith in the attorney general if he is the nominee that he’ll be a credible candidate,” Gonzales said. But he predicted more Democrats would soon join in the gubernatorial primary. (Not long after the interview, state Sen. Linda Lopez of Albuquerque said she would be announcing her candidacy, and Keller said he, too, is considering running.)

But Gonzales said if the party is not able to motivate people to vote in an off-year election, the consequences could be dire. Not only could it lose the governor’s race again, but “we could come very close to losing the [state] House, and if we do that, we’re obviously in a whole lot of trouble when it comes to Democrats in the state.”

Bombardier casts Deming, World War II in new light Strict training regime helped save soldier in war zone

By Matt Robinson Deming Headlight

DEMING — At 18, a young Army Air Corps officer from New York found himself joining hundreds of other service members at the air field in Deming for bombardier training. Little did he know that his following service in World War II would take him halfway across the world and into the caring hands of villagers in the South Pacific.

William Greenberg, 89, was stationed at the Deming Army Air Field for six months in 1943, where he trained as a bombardier and navigator. Now he lives in Tucson, Ariz., but has often talked of returning to Deming with his close friend, Louis Ruiz. On Friday of last week, the veteran aviator returned to the town that helped prepare him for the Pacific Theater of World War II. “I’m going to see the airport, and Louis is going to take me around,” Greenberg said. “He’s going to show me the best Mexican restaurant in town, because he knows I only eat chicken fajitas.”

In the New York accent that he has retained through years across the country and globe, the retired first lieutenant said Deming “hasn’t changed” since the days he flew through the clouds over Luna County, but that it appears more modern.

The strict training regimen used to prepare pilots and crews for the war kept him and his friends holed up inside the base most of the time.

They received only a day and a half of downtime on weekends. And even then, the men were typically kept on base, where they could watch movies, play baseball and socialize.

But one weekend, the crews were called into a meeting, where a towering “9-foot-tall” chaplain, Lt. John Burton, explained to the young men of 18, 19 and 20 years old that they were going to be allowed off-post.

“He said, ‘Yous guys are going to go to town, and I want you to know something,’ ” Greenberg recalled with a growing grin on his face. “ ‘Deming is a small town, but there’s a bad influence; there’s a lot of single girls who are looking to get married.’ “ ‘If you fly through town and open your car window, you’re going to get caught by one of these girls.’ ” Despite the charms of those Deming women, he finished his training and was sent to the Pacific unmarried. Upon arrival, he and other air crews in the 13th Air Corps set to work immediately in their B-24 and B-25 bombers.

“I was in a snooper outfit; we went up by ourselves at night,” he said. “I learned how to be a radar navigator, bombardier and then I got transferred to the 307th bomber group.”

On his 41st mission, in May 1945, his plane was shot down by Imperial Japanese Zeroes over the island of Borneo, which is north of Indonesia.

“We all got out, because I pushed one of the guys out who said he was going to ride it down,” he said. “I pushed him down out of the plane, and his chute did open.”

He then jumped out himself to float toward the thick-canopied jungles with his parachute. He landed in a tree, where he remained for the night.

It was so dark, he recalled, that he did not realize until the morning that he had been hanging just 5 feet above the ground, suspended by his parachute rigging.

After releasing himself, he used his survival training to find and follow a river to the Pacific Ocean, where he found a canoe resting on the beach. He hid for a few hours, contemplating his next move, when two boys — he guessed between 8 and 10 years old — came along and found him.

“With sign language, they told me to lay down in the bottom of the canoe, and they covered me with banana fronds,” he said. The boys, risking their own lives to aid a U.S. service member, then took him to their village.

The villagers were described as “all muscles” with colorful feathers adorning their bodies. He noticed that there were no children or women around.

Judge orders settlement talks over jail ALBUQUERQUE — The detention center that serves New Mexico’s largest city and most populous county is crowded, and Bernalillo County commissioners have been ordered to court next month for settlement talks involving conditions inside the jail system.

The county is also being asked to explain why it shouldn’t be required to come up with a written plan by July 1 for tackling crowding in the jail’s cells.

Separate orders regarding the Metropolitan Detention Center were issued this week by Senior U.S. District Judge James Parker and U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Torgerson, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

The commission deadlocked on whether to relieve crowding at the detention center by shipping inmates to other jails in New Mexico or Texas. The failed proposal called for $1.4 million through the end of June to send some 300 inmates to other jails.

The county spends about $63 million a year operating the detention center.

They had been taken to the hills to hide from the Japanese.

He explained that the villagers were friendly to Americans, but not all of the natives on the island shared that sentiment. Some chose instead to help their occupiers, the thousands of Japanese on the island.

Three days later, after hiding from Japanese patrols and living on the generosity of the tribe, a flying boat arrived to search for the downed airmen. A stainless steel “mirror” with a cross shape cut through the center — to aim reflective signals — was used to attract the attention of the PBY Catalina.

“There were 11 of us on the plane and five of us came back,” he said. “The others were captured by the Japanese and beheaded.”

He was taken to a naval hospital before returning to duty. He flew another three missions before returning stateside, but not before having a little fun with his buddies.

“We used to go to the brewery to fill canteens with warm beer,” he said. “We had no refrigeration, so we’d take a plane, take it up to 10,000 feet.

Ice cold up there. Fly around for an hour, it costs you about $5,000, but we had cold beer.”

On a more serious note, he explained how he and the air crews would use empty beer bottles as psychological warfare. The crews would fly over Japanese territory and drop empty beer bottles, because as the bottles fell, it would create a whistling noise.

After the violence and occasional shenanigans of the war, he returned home to a mother who had been fasting every weekend while her son was away, “for the war effort,” he explained. He quickly visited with his neighbor, Anita, whom he had left as a 16-year-old girl when he enlisted at 18.

“First thing I notice, she’s wearing this red sweater,” he said as he flipped through his wallet to find her photo from the time to gleefully show her off. “From a little kid with braces on her teeth and wearing glasses, here was this gorgeous movie star that lives right across the street from me.”

He then put on 40 pounds as he courted the young woman by eating “six full meals a day” — three with his mother and another three with Anita and her grandmother.

He married Anita on Sept. 2, 1946. They attended Hofstra University together, had two daughters and remained married until she passed away last year.

“For 25 years, I hated the Japanese for what they did to my friends, and then I decided bygones are bygones,” he said. “I have no animosity toward the Japanese anymore. … Now I don’t like the North Koreans,” he quipped.

Recreating the pottery of ancient Mesa Verde F

or a potter fascinated with ancient cultures of the Southwest, replicating Mesa Verde clay vessels using age-old techniques from the Four Corners area is heaven — or at least as close as one might hope to come to a hands-on experience of the ancestral Puebloan culture, 700 to 900 years ago.

Bob Casias is one such potter and student of ancient cultures. He’s also deputy state director for support services at the federal Bureau of Land Management’s state office Gussie in Santa Fe. Since high Fauntleroy school, the southern ColoPublic Works rado native has followed his passion for ceramics, creating wheel-thrown, kiln-fired pottery for many years with commercial clays. Then he met Clint Swink.

Swink is an accomplished clay artist who collaborated with archaeologists at Mesa Verde to rediscover the ancient Puebloans’ firing methods which produced stunning black-on-white vessels. Over time, Swink reproduced those techniques to create near-perfect replicas.

Years earlier, Casias had held original Mesa Verde pottery during field school excavations while earning an anthropology and sociology degree from the University of Colorado. So, he was thrilled to have the opportunity to study with Swink for three summers, and learn the techniques specific to Mesa Verde pottery. In the 12 or so years since then, Casias has been refining these labor-intensive skills on his own.

First, he locates and digs a particular kind of gray clay, which he prepares and then rolls into coils to hand-build each pot. He scrapes the vessel smooth with the same type of bone or antler tool the ancients used. He adds a slip of white clay and painstakingly polishes it with a river rock. He makes organic (rather than mineral) paint from the Rocky Mountain bee plant, paints a Mesa Verde or Mimbres design on the vessel and wood-fires it in an outdoor trench, burying the pot in the earth for the final phase of the four-hour firing.

“It took about three years to get a handle on the process. The first couple of years, I lost about 90 percent of what I made,” Casias said.

Although the technique is similar to that of other Southwest Native pottery traditions, the only other pueblo to create black-on-white pots is Acoma, where the trench-fire method is not used.

“It gives me a lot of enjoyment to help bring back this ancient pottery tradition,” Casias said.

Today, Casias creates about two dozen replica pots a year. He also teaches the process at workshops, and through the Tarnoff Art Center, near Rowe. His pots are displayed at the Public Lands Information Center on Dinosaur Trail in Santa Fe. Learn more about Casias at potteryoftheancients.com.

‘It took about three years to get a handle on the process,’ says Bob Casias, who has spent more than 12 years refining the process of replicating the world-renowned, ancient black-on-white Mesa Verde pottery.

Believing Hope Christian sweeps doubleheader in good following tragedy O PREP BASEBALL

By Zack Ponce

The New Mexican

rdinary things were used to create extraordinary pain at Monday’s Boston Marathon.

A pressure cooker. A few nails and other pieces of metal.

The perversion of the use of everyday materials — pots are designed to feed, Jim Gordon not kill; nails are The Anti-Fan designed to build, not destroy — is simple if you have the primary ingredient.

Disregard for human life. Call it hate.

What’s the lasting image or quote you’ll associate with the hate? For me, it’s the words of Dr. David Mooney, head of the trauma center at Boston’s Children’s Hospital, who said one of the sickest things for him was to “see nails sticking out of a little girl’s body.”

Uncommon evil was on display in Boston.

But so was common humanity — compassion. Call it love.

Runners and spectators rushing toward, not away, from the victims, looking to help any way they could.

Doctors, EMTs and other professionals working tirelessly to save the wounded. People flooding hospitals to give their blood.

In the days that followed, there were impromptu vigils for the victims. At one of them, Dorchester, Mass., resident Lois Eames said, “This is what we do, we come together. … Evil lives in this world but good will always overcome it.”

That’s a bedrock belief. In an age when the simplest things can be used to create such pain, it has to be.

Getting on base has never been the problem.

It’s what has happened on the other 270 feet of basepaths that has foiled St. Michael’s baseball throughout the 2013 season.

gunned down there enabled District 5AAA rival Albuquerque Hope Christian to capitalize and sweep the Saturday doubleheader at the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex.

Hope won the opener 6-3 in nine innings, then took Game 2 by a 5-3 margin.

The most glaring St. Michael’s mistake came in the bottom of the fifth inning of Game 2 when the Horse-

men trailed 4-3 with two outs.

Junior David Ray Baca stepped into the batter’s box to face Huskies pitcher Keenan Dodd. Zack Bobchak stood on first base and Marc Brandt on third.

As Dodd began winding up, Bobchak began running toward second base. Dodd broke off his pitch and tossed the ball over to his first baseman Joe Standley.

Standley and Huskies second baseman Josh Ray played pitch and catch a few times with Bobchak in a pickle before Ray fired a bullet to catcher Stone Romero to catch Brandt sliding in for the final out of the inning.

Hope added another run in the sixth while St. Michael’s failed to score in the final two frames. The

Sports are wildly overemphasized in America, but there are times when they provide the perfect outlet. Wednesday’s National Hockey League game between the Bruins and Buffalo Sabres at Boston’s TD Garden was one of those times.

Before the game and during the intermissions, there were tributes to the bombing victims, tributes to the first responders, tributes to the city’s strength. That was emotional enough.

Then there were the chants of “We are Boston, we are Boston, we are Boston” and “USA, USA, USA” that went through the crowd.

And then there was the Star Spangled Banner.

Unless they’re poorly performed, most national anthems at sporting events are very forgettable.

Wednesday’s anthem will be remembered for a good long time by the 17,565 fans who were there and by everyone who has seen the video.

Surrounded by the Boston Fire Color Guard, Rene Rancourt started the anthem but a few words into it dropped the mic from his mouth to allow the crowd to take over, and boy, did it.

The fans, along with players, coaches and everyone else in the arena, chanted the words loudly, beautifully, defiantly.

You can find it on YouTube. It is cathartic.

P

ressure can do strange things to some people.

In the case of Santa Fe High track and field specialist Madeline Wiebe — Maddy to most everyone around her — it has the tendency to make her a chatterbox.

The closer it comes to the starting time for a race or event, the more the Santa Fe High junior talks.

And talks.

And talks.

“Oh yeah,” says teammate Ansley DeDomenico, one of three girls who routinely joins Wiebe on the Demonettes’ 4-by-400 relay team. “When you see her start talking nonstop to random people, you know she’s nervous. It’s funny. You’d think it wouldn’t, but it kind of calms down everyone else.”

Wiebe apparently was fighting the butterflies as she stood in line waiting her turn in the long jump during Saturday’s Capital City Invitational at Santa Fe High.

Her hands were in constant motion and she laughed and talked with just about anyone around her.

It wasn’t until the final few moments that she settled down and fixed her gaze down the runway.

“I notice that when I get like that, I move toward not being so focused on the race and all the things that make me feel nervous,” she says. “That’s a good thing.

Just blabbering on about random stuff releases my mind of any tension I feel.”

In this tragedy, former New England Patriot Joe Andruzzi acquitted himself well in two ways.

After the bombs exploded, Andruzzi, like so many others, didn’t flee but looked to see whom he could help. Finding an injured woman, he picked her up and carried her to safety.

Then he properly downplayed it, refusing to be interviewed but issuing a statement asking the spotlight to be shined on “the countless individuals — first responders, medics, EMTs, runners who crossed the finish line and kept on running straight to give blood, and the countless civilians who did whatever they could to save lives. They were the true heroes.”

One suspect was shot to death early Friday and the other was captured Friday night hiding under a tarp in a boat in a backyard in nearby Watertown.

A pregame slideshow on the video board above center ice showed

pictures of smiling policemen after the second suspect was taken into custody. Also shown were individual photos of Lu Lingzi, Krystle Campbell and Martin Richard, who were killed in Monday’s bombings, and Sean Collier, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer shot to death, allegedly by the suspects.

SPORTS PREP ROUNDUP

Russell leads Santa Fe softball The New Mexican

Alex Russell tossed a pair of complete game gems, leading the Santa Fe High softball team to a doubleheader sweep of visiting Española Valley on Saturday afternoon.

Russell (10-6) spun an abbreviated onehit shutout as the Demonettes took the opener, 15-0, in a game shortened to four innings due to the mercy rule. She followed that by allowing only two hits in an 11-1 rout in five innings in the nightcap.

Santa Fe High is now 12-8 overall, 4-4 in District 2AAAA. Russell faced the minimum nine batters in the opener, striking out four in her three innings of work. The one Española batter who reached base was erased moments later in a double play.

Sisters Xeala and K.K. Porras led the way offensively, each finishing 2-for-3 with two runs batted in. Brianna Hopkins was 3-for-3 with two doubles and a pair driven in.

Santa Fe High led 2-0 heading to the third inning but exploded for 10 runs in the third.

The second game didn’t go much better for the visiting Lady Sundevils (7-11, 2-6).

Losers of six straight games, they surrendered eight runs in the bottom of the first inning. Russell was 3 of 3 with two RBI to go along with five innings of pitching. She struck out seven.

Xeala Porras was 3-for-3, as was Jackie Martinez. Both players had two doubles and two RBI. Sitting in third place in 2AAAA, the Demonettes travel to second-place Los

Alamos on Wednesday before hosting Roswell Goddard in a doubleheader next weekend.

“Every game is big because you never know what it’s going to take to get you to state,” said Sig Rivera, Santa Fe High head coach. lOS AlAMOS 4, bERNAlIllO 3 (8 INNINgS) bERNAlIllO 7, lOS AlAMOS 3 At Overlook Park in White Rock, the Lady Hilltoppers finally figured out Demitria Magdelena, but it still wasn’t enough to reverse the order atop the 2AAAA standings.

Undefeated coming into the twinbill, Bernalillo (16-1, 6-1) lost its first game of the season in the opener when a pair of runs in extra innings was enough to give Los Alamos (10-11, 6-2) the win over what is arguably the state’s top pitcher in AAAA. Magdelena was similarly unbeaten this season, but she gave up a run-scoring single to tie the game at 3-3 and coughed up an infield single to Micaela Christensen to plate Cristina Perez from third with the winning run.

The outcome temporarily left Los Alamos alone in first place in the district race, a half game ahead of the Lady Spartans.

That changed when Magdelena’s complete game in the nightcap put Bernalillo back in first.

The Lady Spartans led 5-0 after five innings before the Lady Hilltoppers scored three times and had the bases loaded before Magdelena worked out of the jam.

Los Alamos had just eight hits in the two games.

AlbuquERquE HOPE CHRISTIAN 10, ST. MICHAEl’S 0 (5 INNINgS) AlbuquERquE HOPE CHRISTIAN 17, ST. MICHAEl’S 5 (5 INNINgS) The visiting Lady Horsemen were swept in a 5AAA doubleheader in Albuquerque, but did manage to put up a fight in Game 2.

St. Michael’s (11-8, 1-2) led the Lady Huskies 5-4 in the third inning but simply ran out of gas against the powerful Hope (13-6, 3-0) lineup. Valeria Catanach was 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles in the opener for the Lady Horsemen while Viola Pecos was 3-for-3 in the nightcap. Erin Torres also hit a three-run home run in the second game.

“Hope’s just a very good hitting and pitching team,” said St. Michael’s head coach Roseanne Noedel. “It’s hard to do much against them.” Hope pitcher Sofia Davis Olague struck out 12 batters in the first game and was the winner in both games.

BASEBALL ESPAñOlA VAllEy 11, SANTA fE HIgH 5 SANTA fE HIgH 8, ESPAñOlA VAllEy 4 The Demons’ Jordan Villapando was 4-for-4 with a home run, double and three walks in a doubleheader split against 2AAAA rival Española. Santa Fe High rallied from a 5-1 deficit to tie Game 1 but surrendered six runs after two costly errors in the final inning. Lucas Romero was 2-for-4 for the Demons while Villapando had three hits and Gabe Valdez was 1-for-3 with a triple.

Korwin Mueller got the win on the mound in Game 2. The Demons broke a 2-2 tie with four runs in the bottom of the third.

Santa Fe High is 6-16 overall, 3-5 in 2AAAA.

Djokovic, Nadal to meet at Monte Carlo Masters

By Jerome Pugmire

The Associated Press

MONACO — Novak Djokovic will have a crack at toppling Rafael Nadal in the Monte Carlo Masters final for a second straight year.

Despite their respective injury concerns, they will meet for the 16th time in a championship. Nadal leads 8-7 in their finals.

“I am not the kind of player who is stupid and says, ‘I want to play against the best,’ ” Nadal said joking, added he would rather face an easier opponent Sunday.

Nadal can improve upon his formidable record on the Monte Carlo red clay — winner of the last eight titles and 46 consecutive match victories. He defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 7-6 (3) in the semifinals Saturday to set up a rematch with Djokovic.

The Spaniard has reached five successive finals since returning from a seven-month

layoff for a left knee injury. He will go for his fourth title of the season against Djokovic, who cruised past unseeded Fabio Fognini of Italy 6-2, 6-1.

The No. 1 player showed no sign his right ankle was bothering him, two weeks after twisting it during a Davis Cup match against the United States.

“At the start of the week, the way I felt in the first match, if somebody told me I’d be playing finals, I’d be very happy to hear that,” Djokovic said. “I’m handling it much better than I was at the start of the week.

It has been improving and the pain has been decreasing. It’s much, much less than before.”

Djokovic and Nadal have not played against each other since last year’s French Open final, which Nadal won. He has won their last three encounters, after Djokovic took the previous seven — all of which

were tournament finals. Nadal leads their head-to-head contests 19-14.

“I need to have a very optimistic mindset,” Djokovic said. “I’m not going out there to play my best; I’m going out there to win.

That’s how I’m going to feel tomorrow.”

Nadal has been on a winning roll at Monte Carlo since 2005. His last loss here was to former French Open champ Guillermo Coria in 2003, and he missed the following year because of injury.

He insists he’s still some way from full fitness, despite dropping only one set so far.

“I know I need time to be 100 percent fit,” said Nadal, adding he thinks Djokovic’s injury was tame by comparison.

“He stopped for, what, a few days for his ankle?”

Their finals have gone in cycles: Nadal won the first five; Djokovic the next seven; Nadal the following three.

Talker: Has played violin since age of 5 Continued from Page D-1 meet in Albuquerque, Wiebe didn’t have anyone to speak to. Not surprisingly, she didn’t fare well.

With Saturday’s meet on the Demonettes’ campus going on at the same time the school’s baseball and softball teams were hosting doubleheaders on either side of the track facility, there were plenty of warm bodies to keep her occupied — which partially explains why she cruised to an easy win in her heat of the 300-meter hurdles.

As usual, she started quickly. By time she cleared her second hurdle she was nearly one full second ahead. When she cleared her last, she was several strides out front.

And just like her talkative approach just before the long jump, she was at it again before positioning herself into the starting blocks for the hurdles.

Most coaches might try to nix Wiebe’s nervous tendency, but her teammates might argue that it helps.

“Maybe people would say it’s a good idea to be quiet and stay focused, but that

doesn’t work for her,” says Demonettes sprinter and long jumper Akeisha Ayanniyi. “I actually believe it makes her run even faster. Some people get quiet. Some people move around. She talks, and that’s OK.” Ayanniyi also had a good day Saturday.

She finished second by less than an inch in the long jump and missed the minimum Class AAAA state qualifying time in the 100 by just three one-hundredths of a second.

Wiebe has already qualified for state in the 300 hurdles and the 400 sprint. The odds are also good that she’ll qualify in the 100 hurdles and the 1,600 relay in the season’s final three weeks.

If, that is, her true hobby doesn’t sidetrack her.

An accomplished violinist, she is scheduled to perform with her quartet at the St. Francis Auditorium as part of the Santa Fe Concert Association. Doing so will force her to skip the Demonettes’ meet next weekend.

You would think that being forced to choose between her passion for track —

she’d like to eventually land at a liberal arts college that allows her to compete in the sport — and her passion for music would crack that chatterbox wide open. In this case, it doesn’t.

Sacrificing one weekend of track is worth the effort of playing the violin in a social setting. She’s been playing it since she was 5 years old. She only started running track two years ago.

“I feel with music it’s relaxing, but sports — it keeps me focused,” Wiebe says. “Our practice and training keeps us here so late in the spring. I think being here so long every night forces me to try and stay up with my school work because there’s not much time after we leave.”

Chances are, Wiebe will have an easier time earning an award in the coming weeks by playing the violin than running track. Not that it matters, of course.

“The reason I like being here,” she says, “is it gives me the chance to try different things and still have fun. I’ve done dancing and I’ve played music, but running track — hey, I guess I can talk my way out of being nervous when I need to.”

Sweeps: St. Michael’s is now 13-5 overall Continued from Page D-1 failed steal proved costly.

“That could have changed everything, who knows?” Brandt said. “We could have easily scored more runs that inning.”

St. Michael’s head coach David Vigil said afterward that the coaches had relayed the play onto the field to try and generate a run but admitted it could have been executed a little better. “[Bobchak] broke right away … a little too early. He should have waited for the pitcher to get rid of the baseball when he started the pickle there, but he took off a little prematurely. That one was a little coaches’ mistake. We called it and it didn’t work.”

Another equally damaging mistake struck St. Michael’s in the bottom of the sixth in the opener.

Mike Rivera got himself caught in a rundown and was tagged out as he was sliding into third base.

The Horsemen scored three runs in the frame after the blunder to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead, but little did they know at the time Rivera’s run may have clinched the win.

Dodd had his best performance in his career and singlehandedly boosted the Huskies to a 15-3 overall record and 2-1 in 5AAA. St. Michael’s was just one out away from a victory in Game 1 when Dodd smashed a fastball off relief pitcher Reyes Lujan for a two-run home run and a 3-all tie in the top of the seventh.

Then in his next plate appearance in the top of the ninth, Dodd crushed a three-run bomb for the extra-inning win.

“I love being that guy in that spot; there’s

nothing better,” he smiled. “I was just glad I was able to do something to help the team out and get the win.”

Dodd finished the day 6-for-8 with three home runs — all to the same spot — and an intentional walk. His third homer broke a 3-all tie in the top of the fifth in Game 2.

“We had a couple little baserunning gaffes, but they made mistakes, too, that’s baseball,” Vigil said. “When we play a good team like that, we’re pretty much going to have to put up a complete game.”

St. Michael’s, now 13-5 overall and 1-2 5AAA, still has two weeks to fix the problem before the regular season ends.

“We do station-to-stations, but it’s something we definitely need to work on more,” Vigil said. “One thing I told them with the baserunning mistakes that we’ve been having in the past is that it will come back to haunt us, and it did today.”

NBA ROUNDUP

Knicks beat Celtics in Game 1

By Brian Mahoney The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony started fast, struggled through the middle, and finished with a flurry.

And the New York Knicks, after knocking the Boston Celtics from the top of Knicks 85 the Atlantic Celtics 78 Division, took the first step toward knocking them out of the playoffs.

Anthony scored 36 points, leading the Knicks to an 85-78 victory Saturday in their playoff opener.

“It’s a wonderful feeling to know that we got our first win of the series here on our home court, took care of that business,” Anthony said. “It was real important for us to come out and get this first win.”

The NBA’s scoring leader had 10 quick points and endured a tough shooting night from there before scoring eight points in the fourth quarter, helping New York take a 1-0 lead in a series for the first time since the 2001 first round against Toronto.

“Boston knows Melo and they know he’s not going anywhere, but they’re going to make it as tough as possible for him to score the ball,” Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. “And he got off to a good start and then he had that slow middle, and then when he had to pick it up down the stretch, he made the plays that we needed him to make. And I mean that’s what the great ones do. They figure it out and Melo’s done that all season for our ballclub.”

Anthony shot only 13 for 29 from the field but made consecutive baskets late in the final period, when the Knicks held Boston to three baskets and eight points.

Game 2 is Tuesday night before the Celtics host Game 3 on Friday in what will be their first home game since the Boston Marathon bombings.

Jeff Green scored 26 points and Paul Pierce added 21 for the Celtics, who badly missed injured point guard Rajon Rondo, committing 21 turnovers that led to 20 points.

The Knicks got their hands on the ball at will in the fourth quarter, when Boston shot 3 of 11.

“We had some just bad turnovers tonight,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “If we had those turnovers in any game, we probably should lose the game, and we did. We were making post passes from the other side of the floor. I mean, those are just not good passes.”

Kevin Garnett had eight points and nine rebounds but shot only 4 of 12 from the field.

Jason Terry, another veteran on a young Celtics team, missed all five shots off the bench.

The Celtics led after three quarters and tied the game for the final time at 72 on Garnett’s basket with 8:13 remaining. Anthony then made consecutive jumpers, and after the Celtics got back within three later in the period, he made a layup and a long jumper that gave New York an 83-76 advantage with 1:21 left.

Green made two free throws and the Celtics double-teamed Anthony, but he fired a pass to a wide-open Kenyon Martin under the basket to put it away with 40 seconds left.

“We just panicked a little bit. We don’t have to do that,” Celtics guard Avery Bradley said. “We have to keep our composure and play the right way. We didn’t.”

NUGGETS 97, WARRIORS 95 In Denver, Andre Miller scored a playoff career-high 28 points and sank a nifty layup with 1.3 seconds left that lifted the Nuggets to the win in Game 1 against the Warriors.

Miller drove left past rookie

Draymond Green, did an up-and-under between two defenders under the basket and banked the ball off the glass with his right hand.

Golden State inbounded the ball and Stephen Curry’s desperation 3-pointer wasn’t anywhere close as the horn sounded and Denver celebrated its 24th straight win at the Pepsi Center.

Miller scored 18 in the frenetic fourth quarter.

Game 2 is Tuesday night at the Pepsi Center, where the Nuggets posted an NBA-best 38-3 home record during the season.

NETS 106, BULLS 89 In New York, Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and the Nets turned the Brooklyn blackout into a blowout.

Williams scored 22 points, Lopez had 21 and the Nets ripped apart the Bulls’ vaunted defense with a spectacular second quarter, when they made 16 of 20 shots.

Joe Johnson finished with 16 for the Nets, who made their successful first season

in Brooklyn even better with a victory in their first playoff appearance since 2007. They will host Game 2 on Monday night.

The Nets wore their road black uniforms and fans were encouraged to wear black as well to make it a “blackout” for the first major postseason game in Brooklyn since Oct. 10, 1956, when the Yankees beat the Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series at Ebbets Field.

Carlos Boozer had 25 points and eight rebounds for the Bulls.

CLIppERS 112, GRIzzLIES 91 In Los Angeles, Chris Paul led seven players in double figures with 23 points, Eric Bledsoe scored 15 and the Clippers beat the Memphis Grizzlies while getting just one dunk in their playoff opener.

Chauncey Billups had 14 points, and Caron Butler and Jamal Crawford had 13 apiece on a night when Blake Griffin was held to 10 points and five rebounds before fouling out with 3:32 left as Lob City was grounded.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Suzann Pettersen victorious in Hawaii The Associated Press

KAPOLEI, Hawaii — Suzann Pettersen won the LPGA Lotte Championship on Saturday, beating Lizette Salas with a par on the first hole of a playoff after Salas chunked her approach shot into the water.

Pettersen, the leader after the second and third rounds at Ko Olina, bogeyed the final hole of regulation to set up the playoff on the par-4 18th. The 32-year-old Norwegian closed with a 5-under 67, and Salas had a tournament-record 62 to finish at 19-under 269.

Salas had a double bogey on the playoff hole. She played a nine-hole stretch in 9 under, birdieing Nos. 8-9, holing out from the fairway for eagle on the par-4 10th and adding birdies on Nos. 12-16.

The 23-year-old American was coming off a devastating collapse two weeks ago in the Kraft Nabisco Championship when she closed with a 79 to tie for 25th after beginning the final round three strokes behind playing partner and eventual winner Inbee Park.

Pettersen won her 11th LPGA Tour title.

She had consecutive LPGA Tour victories late last season in South Korea and Taiwan and won a Ladies European Tour event last month in China.

Pettersen birdied the par-3 12th get to 18 under, three strokes ahead of Salas, then

bogeyed the par-5 13th after she lost her ball on her drive when she was distracted by a car honk. She birdied Nos. 14, 15 and 17 to reach 20 under, but couldn’t get up and down for par on 18.

Salas has four top-10 finishes in seven starts this year.

RBC HERITAGE In Hilton Head Island, S.C., Charley Hoffman used a quick start to take a two-stroke lead over U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson after three rounds in the RBC Heritage.

Hoffman had four birdies on his first five holes and finished with a bogey-free 5-under 66 to reach 11 under on a windy, cool day at Harbour Town Golf Links. Simpson had a 65, tying the best round of the week.

Kevin Streelman was third at 8 under after a 69.

The round started with 91 players making the cut, tying the tour high set in 1981 at the Travelers Championship. Jesper Parnevik moved the cut line Saturday morning to 2 over as he missed a 5-footer to complete his rain-delayed second round and opened the door for 21 players to keep playing.

GREATER GWINNETT CHAMpIONSHIp In Dultugh, Ga., Esteban Toledo, a rookie looking for his first win on the Champions Tour, says Bernhard Langer is “one of my idols here.”

Toledo had a one-stroke lead over Langer

and three others heading into the final round of the Greater Gwinnett Championship, and said holding off his idol and others in the final round “is possibly the greatest challenge I’ve ever had.”

Toledo, from Mexicali, Mexico, completed his first-round 68 early Saturday before shooting a 2-under 70 in the second round.

Langer had a 66 that left him in a fourway tie for second.

Langer was tied with Roger Chapman, Tom Pernice Jr. and Mark Calcavecchia.

Chapman and Pernice shot 68s, and Calcavecchia had a 71.

Toledo’s only win as a professional came in 2005 on the Web.com Tour. He tied for sixth at the Champions Tour’s Toshiba Classic this year but said he has never led entering the final round.

Toledo said winning on the senior circuit would “mean everything.”

“I’m not afraid to win,” he said.

“I grew up in Mexico with nothing,” he said. “It would be an unbelievable story for my country.”

SpANISH OpEN In Valencia, Spain, Mark Warren of Scotland shot a 4-under 68 Saturday to take a two-shot lead after the third round of the Spanish Open.

Warren had six birdies to go with two bogeys on the Parador de El Saler course to move to the top of the leaderboard with an 8-under 208.

NHL: Vancouver seals playoff berth Continued from Page D-1 pregame video and the memory when they’re showing the victims,” Pittsburgh’s Brooks Orpik said.

During the game, a fan held up an “MIT” pennant.

Before Wednesday’s game, a video was shown of scenes after the bombings near the finish line. And, like Wednesday, veteran Bruins vocalist Rene Rancourt started the national anthem then gestured for the fans to join him — and they did, loudly and emotionally.

“We felt the same way as last game with the ceremony and, again, with all the police and fireman and everything in the building,” Marchand said. “It was a special time again, and we definitely built a lot of momentum off of that.”

The postponement was the second of the week for the Bruins. Their game against the Ottawa Senators last Monday night, scheduled to start about four hours after the bombings, was rescheduled for April 28.

Before the game, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma wore a black T-shirt with the words “BOSTON STRONG” over his shirt and tie. Penguins players also wore them before the game.

“Everyone was proud to wear them,” Orpik said.

During warmups, Bruins players wore baseball caps of the state police and Boston and Watertown police departments. The black cap for Watertown, where the suspect was taken into custody, had the Bruins “Spiked B” logo on the front and the word “STRONG” on the back.

The Penguins took a ninepoint lead in the Eastern Conference over Montreal, which could get only eight more points in its remaining four games. The Bruins remained in fourth place with 57 points, 11 behind the Penguins, with five games to go.

“These types of races usually come down to the last game, last two games,” Bylsma said, “and to be able to clinch the division and now clinch the conference this early says a lot for our team and how we’ve played through this shortened season with different types of injuries.”

Pittsburgh won its sixth straight game despite the continued absence of some top offensive players. NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby missed his eighth game with a broken jaw, James Neal sat out his fifth because of a concussion and last season’s NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin was sidelined for his third with a shoulder injury.

With the score 1-1 on goals

by Marchand in the first period and Pittsburgh’s Jussi Jokinen in the second, the Penguins got two powerplay goals in 4 minutes.

Tyler Seguin scored the final goal for the Bruins with 2.6 seconds remaining.

Iginla, nearly traded to Boston three weeks ago, played his first game against the Bruins since he was dealt

by Calgary to Pittsburgh on March 28.

He was booed every time he touched the puck during a third-period power play. The jeers grew louder after he scored on a 50-foot shot from the center of the blue line as Chris Kunitz screened goalie Tuukka Rask.

“I guess I’d be prepared for that. I can understand that the fans wouldn’t be too happy” that he decided to go to Pittsburgh instead of Boston, Iginla said.

Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli had been upset when his deal for Iginla fell through. The player had a no-trade clause and waived it to go to Pittsburgh instead of Boston.

Iginla’s 12th goal of the season came went through Rask’s legs at 4::43 of the third.

“Not too often I cost a game,” he said. “Today I did.”

Kris Letang scored on another power play against the NHL’s top penalty-killing team at 8:29.

Marchand’s opening goal at 10:18 of the first period was his team-leading 17th and also came on a power play. Zdeno Chara carried the puck into center ice and passed to Marchand on the left. Marchand then sped between two Penguins in the left circle and beat goalie Tomas Vokoun from 15 feet at 10:18.

The Penguins tied it on Jokinen’s 10th goal at 5:10 of the second period. With the puck loose in front of the net, Rask stretched to his left but Jokinen lifted it above the goalie’s glove.

CANUCKS 2, RED WINGS 1 (SO) In Vancouver, British Columbia, Maxim Lapierre scored in the shootout, Cory Schneider made 33 saves through overtime and Vancouver clinched a playoff berth with a victory over Detroit.

Schneider stopped all three attempts in the shootout for the Canucks, who won their seventh straight at home and prevented the Red Wings from breaking the playoff threshold. Vancouver’s victory also guaranteed the idle Los Angeles Kings of a playoff spot.

Lapierre, with Vancouver’s last attempt in the shootout, beat Jimmy Howard with a forehand-to-backhand deke, roofing the puck into the net.

Alex Edler scored for Vancouver and Damien Brunner had a goal for Detroit in the first period.

MApLE LEAFS 4, SENATORS 1 In Ottawa, James Reimer put in a monstrous effort with 49 saves and Toronto clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2004 with a win over Ottawa.

James van Riemsdyk scored twice, and Nazem Kadri and Joffrey Lupul also had goals for the Leafs, who needed to earn a point and get a little help from the New York Islanders to make the playoffs.

COYOTES 3, BLACKHAWKS 2 (SO) In Chicago, Mikkel Boedker and David Schlemko scored shootout goals to lift Phoenix and a three-game losing streak and preserving its fading playoff hopes with a win over Chicago.

Schlemko beat Corey Crawford with a high shot in the third round of the tiebreaker to end Chicago’s seven-game win streak.

Rostislav Klesla and Radim Vrbata scored in the first period for Phoenix, which trails Columbus by three points for the final playoff spot with four to play.

CApITALS 5, CANADIENS 1 In Montreal, Troy Brouwer and Alex Ovechkin each scored twice as Washington beat Montreal.

Nicklas Backstrom also scored for the Capitals, who had an eight-game winning streak stopped in Ottawa on Thursday but rebounded with their 13th win in 16 games. They stretched their lead over second-place Winnipeg in the Southeast Division to three points with three games to play.

ISLANDERS 5, JETS 4 (SO) In Winnipeg, Manitoba, John Tavares scored the winning goal in a shootout to help surging New York put a sent in Winnipeg’s playoff drive.

DEVILS 6, pANTHERS 2 In Newark, N.J., Patrik Elias scored twice and New Jersey kept its faint playoff hopes alive by rallying from a twogoal deficit for a win over Florida.

David Clarkson, whose big check seemed with wake up the Devils after they fell behind 2-0, tallied the goahead goal in a game where they welcomed back offensive catalyst Ilya Kovalchuk to the lineup after missing 11 games with a shoulder injury.

FLYERS 5, HURRICANES 3 In Raleigh, N.C., Wayne Simmonds got his first career hat trick and added an assist to lead Philadelphia to a win over Carolina in a matchup of teams eliminated from playoff contention.

Jakub Voracek and Matt Read also scored for the Flyers.

Sox win The Associated Press

BOSTON — The Red Sox kept on with their best start in 11 years by beating the Kansas City Royals 4-3 Saturday. The Red Sox 4 Red Sox wore Royals 3 white home jerseys with “Boston” on the front instead of the customary “Red Sox.” YANKEES 5, BLUE JAYS 3 (11) In Toronto, Blue Jays reliever Aaron Loup had a two-run throwing error in the 11th inning and the Yankees beat Toronto.

INDIANS 19, ASTROS 6 In Houston, Jason Giambi, Mark Reynolds and Carlos Santana homered, and the Indians routed the Astros.

RANGERS 5, MARINERS 0 In Arlington, Texas, Derek Lowe pitched four hitless innings in relief of injured starter Nick Tepesch.

In brief Hansen pitches five innings

New Mexico Highlands University baseball starting pitcher Greg Hansen returned to the rotation to give the Cowboys a much needed boost.

The righty returned to the mound for his first start since March 22 and led NMHU to a Saturday doubleheader split with Adams State in the middle part of its four-game Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference series in Alamosa, Colo.

The Cowboys dropped the opener 3-2, then salvaged the day with a 16-4 victory in Game 2.

Hansen (4-3), who had been sidelined for about a month due to shoulder soreness, pitched five complete innings in which he surrendered one run on three hits and struck out four in the Cowboys’ evening victory.

“We were maybe planning on getting three innings out of him and he went five,” NMHU head coach Steve Jones said. “It didn’t look like he was holding back. Now we’ll see how he responds.”

NMHU pounded Adams State (10-30 overall, 9-20 RMAC) for five runs in the top of the first, forcing the Grizzlies to yank starter Kyle Sedlak after just ⅔ of an inning.

In Game 1, the Cowboys (23-18, 19-12) held a 2-1 lead before Drew Wells hit a twoout, two-run home run in the sixth.

The series wraps up Sunday.

Isotopes lose to RedHawks A lack of offense hurt Albuquerque in its four-game Pacific Coast League series opener Saturday against visiting Oklahoma City.

The Isotopes (8-8) managed just four hits in a 3-1 loss to the RedHawks (9-7) at Isotopes Park.

Three Oklahoma City pitchers combined to hold Albuquerque just four hits.

An Alex Castellanos RBI single drove in the only run for Albuquerque in the bottom of the fourth, cutting its deficit to 2-1. He was the team’s most productive hitter, going 1-for-4.

The teams resume the series on Sunday at 1:35 p.m.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Nationals beat Mets during Bark in the Park The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Bryce Harper launched two long home runs, including a tiebreaking drive in the eighth inning, and also doubled Saturday to lead the Nationals 7 Washington NationMets 6 als over the New York Mets 7-6.

Adam LaRoche and Ian Desmond homered for the Nationals on Bark in the Park day at Citi Field. Fans paid $35 for tickets in the second deck in right field, and brought their dogs for $10.

GIANTS 2, PADRES 0 In San Francisco, Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run homer and Tim Lincecum struck out a season-best eight batters.

Lincecum (2-0) pitched 6 ⅔ scoreless innings, providing a steady presence on the mound after he had allowed four or more runs in a single inning in two of his previous three starts this year.

Sandoval’s third home run of the season landed in the elevated right-field arcade for a 2-0 lead in the fourth that held up. The Giants are 8-1 this season when scoring first.

Sandoval delivered the key hit against Andrew Cashner (0-1) a night after Angel Pagan’s winning, one-out double in the ninth lifted the Giants to a 3-2 win in the series opener.

ROCKIES 4, DIAMONDBACKS 3 In Denver, Jorge De La Rosa pitched six innings of two-hit ball, Michael Cuddyer homered and the Colorado Rockies won their season-high eighth in a row.

De La Rosa (2-1) won for the first time at Coors Field since returning late last year from reconstructive surgery on his pitching (left) elbow. And he resumed his mastery at home of the Diamondbacks, improving to 7-0 with a 1.38 ERA in eight career starts against Arizona at Coors Field.

REDS 3, MARLINS 2 (13) In Cincinnati, Brandon Phillips had a game-ending sacrifice fly in the 13th inning, giving the Reds a victory over the Marlins.

Facing Steve Cishek (1-2), Miami’s seventh pitcher of the game, Shin-Soo Choo led off the 13th with an opposite-field double down the left field line, his sixth time on base in seven plate appearances — he walked three times. Zack Cozart

sustained an apparent right-hand injury while trying to bunt, and pinch-hitter Cesar Izturis moved Choo to third with a fly ball to center field. Joey Votto was intentionally walked, and Phillips — on his bobblehead day — lofted the fly to center field.

CARDINALS 5, PHILLIES 0 In Philadelphia, Lance Lynn threw onehit ball for seven innings and Carlos Beltran homered for the third straight game to lead the Cardinals over the Phillies.

Lynn (3-0) did not allow a hit until John Mayberry Jr., led off the fifth with a double. Lynn struck out eight and walked three in his longest outing of the season.

PIRATES 3, BRAVES 1 In Pittsburgh, James McDonald pitched six dominant inning and Gaby Sanchez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer to lead the Pirates to a victory over Atlanta.

In quite a contrast to his previous start, McDonald (2-2) struck out nine while allowing only one run on two hits.

McDonald was tagged for eight runs in 1 ⅔ innings on Monday in a loss to St. Louis.

Sanchez’s first home run of the season

broke a 1-all tie and capped a threerun sixth. Paul Maholm (3-1) carried a two-hit shutout into the inning and had not allowed a run in 25 1-3 innings this season.

Atlanta (13-4), which has the best record in the major leagues, lost consecutive games for the first this season.

BREWERS 5, CUBS 1 In Milwaukee, Jonathan Lucroy homered, Hiram Burgos pitched five innings in his major league debut and the Milwaukee Brewers took advantage of shoddy fielding by the Chicago Cubs in a 5-1 win Saturday night.

Burgos (1-0) held the Cubs to one run and five hits with a strikeout and no walks to help the Brewers win their sixth straight game.

INTERLEAGUE ORIOLES 7, DODGERS 5, FIRST GAME ORIOLES 6, DODGERS 1, SECOND GAME In Baltimore, Wei-Yin Chen pitched six innings of three-hit ball, Chris Davis and Manny Machado homered and the Orioles beat the Los Angeles Dodgers to complete a doubleheader sweep.

Remember that in spotting planets there is a general rule: “stars twinkle, planets don’t.” This is because stars are point sources of light; therefore, starlight is easily disturbed and shifted by air currents in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Fox TV renews ‘Glee’ for two more seasons

Elaine Stritch takes a bow at Tribeca

LOS ANGELES — The Fox TV series Glee will keep on singing for another two years.

The network announced Friday that it has renewed the show about music-loving students through 2014-15 — its sixth season.

In a statement, Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly said Glee continues to break new ground as a rare successful TV musical comedy. The show been a music hit as well, with more than 50 million downloads of Glee tracks and worldwide album sales of more than 13 million. Glee has expanded from its original focus on the McKinley High School glee club to the college world of Rachel and Kurt, played by cast members Lea Michele and Chris Colfer.

NEW YORK — Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me was premiering Friday at the Tribeca Film Festival with the 88-year-old Broadway legend Elaine Stritch herself as part of the audience.

A New York icon — as much a fixture as the Statue of Liberty, but with a whole lot more to say — Stritch made her way slowly into the Chelsea theater where the documentary played.

She has lived a full life, from defining performances of Stephen Sondheim tunes on Broadway to the Tony- and Emmy-winning one-woman show Elaine Stritch: At Liberty to her memorable guest appearances on 30 Rock. She’s New York show business, personified.

Shoot Me, directed by Chiemi Karasawa, captures Stritch off the stage, but no less theatrical.

Just walking down the street on her Upper East Side neighborhood, Stritch is entertaining. The film — one of the best at Tribeca — follows her around as she makes plans to move back home to Michigan, thinks about winding down her career, and generally reacts with anger, frustration and acceptance at her increasingly evident mortality.

Karasawa, a veteran documentary producer and former script supervisor, came to make the film (her directorial debut) through sharing a hairdresser with Stritch.

Jude Law writes to WTO against seal trade LONDON — Actor Jude Law has written to the World Trade Organization to urge it to uphold a European Union ban on seal fur.

The British actor was writing on behalf of animal protection group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which released the letter Saturday. PETA has also enlisted actress Pamela Anderson in its publicity campaign against the seal trade.

Cincinnati offers bridges, parks, pork

By Amanda Lee Myers

The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — With dueling nicknames of The Queen City for its beauty and Porkopolis for its love of, well, pork, Cincinnati cannot be pigeonholed.

After decades of declining growth, Ohio’s third-largest city is on a huge upswing, pumping billions of dollars into new development and revitalization. In less than 10 years, the city has transformed itself back into a growing, bustling destination as businesses and residents flock to downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods.

Although visitors can drop plenty of cash on a Reds or Bengals game, gambling in a brand-new $400 million casino, or eating some of that much-loved pork, arguably the best things to do in Cincinnati are absolutely free.

Over-the-Rhine: This picturesque neighborhood, named and settled by German immigrants in the 19th century, has more buzz than anywhere else in Cincinnati.

Over-the-Rhine sits just on the edge of downtown and was the site of the city’s race riots in 2001. But block by block, the city and developers have retaken the neighborhood that was once dubbed the most dangerous in America and transformed its shabby but beautiful buildings into some of the city’s best bars and restaurants. Over-the-Rhine has the most Italianate architecture still standing in the U.S. Findlay Market: Cincinnati residents have been getting fresh meat, produce and homemade bread at Findlay Market since 1855, making it the oldest continuously running public market in the

Buckeye State and one of the most beloved historic landmarks in the city.

The Bridges: Of the many bridges that span the Ohio River between Cincinnati and northern Kentucky, three are worth crossing on foot.

The Roebling Suspension Bridge, which sits between the Bengals and Reds stadiums in a bustling spot along the riverfront, is the most recognizable of all of Cincinnati’s landmarks. Pedestrians can walk across the bridge into Covington, Ky., and head due east into the quaint and beautiful Licking Riverside Historic District. From there, they can cross the Fourth Street Bridge over the Licking River and into Newport, Ky., and head back across to Cincinnati over the Purple People Bridge, a pedestrian-only span and a favorite among locals.

Fountain Square: The heart of downtown Cincinnati, Fountain Square underwent a $49 million renovation and reopened in 2006. From Reds and Bengals game-watching parties on a massive highdefinition television screen, live salsa-dancing lessons that attract hundreds of people of all skill levels, to near-daily concerts during nice weather, practically the only thing in Fountain Square that isn’t free is the beer.

Mount Adams: A walk to Mount Adams offers a stunning view of downtown Cincinnati and northern Kentucky.

Walkers would be advised to begin in the picnic-worthy Presidential Grove, where each U.S. president has a tree named after him, before strolling by Mirror Lake and heading up the hill to Mount Adams. At the top is the Cincinnati Art Museum, which is, remarkably, free. assignment is to create an interactive travel expo for South Africa Tourism.

’ve often lamented the shortening of the attention spans of young people — a symptom, as I see it, of the insidious dumbing-down of America. So it did not surprise me at all to learn that the creator of the ultimate attentionspan assassin, the Summly text-summarizing smartphone app, is a lad of 17.

Yahoo last month purchased Summly from Nick D’Aloisio for the reported sum of $30 million. (One of Nick’s financial backers is a man named, I swear, “Li Ka-shing.”)

Young Nick has bragged that Summly can efficiently tell any story — any text, of any length or complexity — in 400 characters or fewer. This whole concept appalls me, but if there are milGene lions of dollars out there for this sort of Weingarten thing, I’m happy to jump in the game.
