“Obamacare” provisions. But a midyear switch to a new provider could prove costly to the 7,000 members of the pool. A 12 percent increase in monthly costs was imposed on high-risk pool premiums in January, and a proposed 23.8 percent hike in premiums would take effect July 1. The request is pending before the state Office of the Superintendent of Insurance. Fisher, 63, who retired from a career on the business side of health care, calculates that his plan will cost him $720 a month beginning in July if the proposed rate increase is approved. The same plan cost him $341 a month in December 2012. He’s confident that he can find a plan with a lower monthly premium, but opting to shop for a new insurer through the state’s health care network in the middle of the year is not an easy choice — it
The gloves are off, and there’s a deepening fissure between members of the Public Regulation Commission. On the surface, the tension among commissioners is over PRC Chief of Staff S. Vincent Martinez. But the schism may go much deeper. In part, the split is over the nature of the agency and how the chief of staff should respond to five elected bosses, each of whom has his or her own agenda. Three of the commissioners support Martinez, hired nine months ago for the $90,000-a-year position. Two commission members — Ben Hall, R-Ruidoso, and Valerie Espinoza, D-Santa Fe — want him to resign, especially in light of an incident involving a family member of Martinez and unauthorized use of a state vehicle. Martinez said this is a vendetta against him by Hall and Espinoza that started five months ago. But Hall and Espinoza said the regulatory body is still trying to overcome a cloud on the PRC’s image left by past commissioners and staff who used gas cards fraudulently and violated other policies. Any further violations add to that cloud, the commissioners said. The regulators decided Wednesday to draft a resolution delineating the responsibilities of the chief of staff and the commission. A similar resolution was approved in 2004 by a prior commission in an effort to prevent commissioners from having undue influence over hiring practices.

WASHINGTON — The principle that all Internet content should be treated equally as it flows through cables and pipes to consumers looks all but dead. Companies like Disney, Google or Netflix would be allowed to pay Internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon for special, faster lanes to send video and other content to their customers under rules to be proposed by the Federal Communications Commission, the agency said Wednesday. The proposed rules would be a turnaround for the agency on what is known as net neutrality — the idea that Internet users should have equal ability to see any legal content they choose and that no providers of legal content should be discriminated against in providing their offerings to consumers. The proposal would come three months after a federal appeals court struck down, for the second time,

hen Steven Fisher moved to Santa Fe from Illinois two years ago, his cancer followed. Besides the obvious worries that come with a dire pre-existing medical condition, health insurance was a concern for Fisher. Before the federal Affordable Care Act was implemented, commercial insurance companies weren’t required to offer health insurance to people in his situation. So he was relieved that New Mexico offered a safety net to people with pre-existing conditions, the New Mexico Medical Insurance Pool, a program specifically designed for people considered too risky for private companies to insure. But for the second time this year, insurance premiums for people in the state’s high-risk pool are poised

LAS CRUCES — La Frontera, an Arizona firm brought in by the state last year to take over care for the mentally ill and those struggling with addiction across Southern New Mexico, laid off or fired 20 employees last week. About half were laid off to reduce expenses; the rest were fired for “performance issues,” said Dan Ranieri, the Tucson, Ariz.-based CEO for La Frontera New Mexico. Another six workers, including two “director level” staffers, have resigned since mid-March, Ranieri said Tuesday. More layoffs are possible, he said, adding that client services won’t be affected. Ranieri said he believes the health organizations La Frontera replaced to provide behavioral health services for the state were “grossly overstaffed.” La Frontera’s staff reductions

coincide with action by another Arizona firm that took over services in part of Northern New Mexico last year, Agave Health. Earlier this month, Agave cut hundreds of employees’ salaries and reduced other costs, including reimbursements for travel, saying it had been operating at a loss each month. A third Arizona firm the state contracted with, Valle del Sol, laid off three therapists at a Los Lunas facility last October because of shrunken revenues. The New Mexico Human Services Department contracted with La Frontera, Agave, Valle del Sol and two other Arizona firms last summer to serve tens of thousands of people with mental illness and other issues, including addiction. The state agency needed the firms to take on that role after it suspended Medicaid funding for 15 health organizations providing those services in New Mexico. Officials justified that action in part with an audit they said found potential overbilling and possible Medicaid fraud.

IRS workers with unpaid taxes received bonuses By Josh Hicks
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service provided millions of dollars in bonuses to agency employees with “substantiated” conduct issues, including nonpayment of taxes, according to a watchdog report released Tuesday. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said the IRS between October 2010 and December 2012 doled out more than $2.8 million to about 2,800 workers with recent conduct issues. That included more than $1 million in cash awards for roughly 1,100 employees with federal tax-compliance problems, the report said. Inspector General Russell George noted that the government does not prohibit bonuses for workers who fail to pay taxes, but he said the practice creates a “conflict with the IRS’s charge of ensuring the integrity of the system of tax administration.” Republican lawmakers have expressed growing frustration with federal employees who don’t pay

their taxes. In 2011, about 3.6 percent of the government’s 3 million civilian employees owed back-taxes totaling more than $1 billion, according to IRS data. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Wednesday sent a letter to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen demanding that the agency rescind the bonuses for employees with tax issues and hold the funds in escrow until the workers have addressed their compliance issues. “How can we expect the American people — many of whom are struggling to make ends meet — to trust their government when they learn that the very agency charged with collecting their taxes is rewarding employees who haven’t paid theirs?” Manchin said. Koskinen was sworn in as head of the IRS in December, after the agency handed out the bonuses in question. Manchin acknowledged that in his letter, but he said the commissioner must still take “swift action” to revoke the cash awards now that he is in charge.

NATION&WORLD In brief Material on shore not from Malaysia jet CANBERRA, Australia — Australian officials said today that after examining detailed photographs of unidentified material that washed ashore in the southwestern part of the country, they are satisfied it is not a clue in the search for the missing Malaysian plane. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has advised search coordinators that the material, which washed ashore 6 miles east of Augusta in Western Australia, is not from missing Flight 370, according to a statement from the Joint Agency Coordination Centre. Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the safety bureau, said Wednesday that an initial analysis of the material — which appeared to be sheet metal with rivets — suggested it was not from the plane. Augusta is near Australia’s southwestern tip, about 190 miles from Perth, where the search has been headquartered.
Oklahoma death-row inmates’ claims tossed OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled late Wednesday that two death row inmates are not entitled to know the source of the drugs that will be used to kill them, putting them back on track to be executed next week. In rejecting the inmates’ claims, the court also lifted a stay of execution that it had granted earlier in the week in a case that placed Oklahoma’s two highest courts at odds and prompted calls for impeaching justices on the Supreme Court. Wednesday’s decision paves the way for death row inmates Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner to receive a lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. A stay issued on Tuesday by Gov. Mary Fallin remains in place for Lockett, but only until April 29, the same day Warner is scheduled to die.
Few answers in latest police shooting ALBUQUERQUE — Two days after Albuquerque police shot and killed a 19-year-old suspected truck thief, the chief of the troubled department says he has little information about the latest shooting. Chief Gorden Eden says police were unable to recover video from the body camera worn by the officer who shot Mary Hawkes. He also says he doesn’t yet know if the gun found by her body was loaded, how many times she was shot, whether she was facing the officer when she was killed, whether any other officers’ cameras captured the event or if any witnesses have corroborated the officer’s statement that the woman pulled a gun on him. Hawkes is the third person to be killed by Albuquerque officers in five weeks. The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — On the night of Oct. 11, 1962, Pope John XXIII did something so natural that it’s astonishing it was so revolutionary at the time. He came to the window of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace and spoke to thousands of candle-bearing faithful below — not in the arcane, scripted words of pontiffs past but in those of a father and pastor looking out for his flock. “Going home, you will find your children. Give them a caress and tell them ‘This is the caress of the pope,’” John said to the torch-lit cheers from St. Peter’s Square. While much of the focus of Sunday’s dual canonization will be on the globe-trotting, 26-year papacy of Pope John Paul II and his nearrecord sprint to sainthood, many older Catholics will be celebrating the short but historic pontificate of the “Good Pope,” John XXIII. John’s words, delivered on the opening night of the Second Vatican Council, came to define his papacy. The speech epitomized how John captured the hearts of Catholics with his simple, paternal affection while using his intuitive cunning to launch Vatican II and bring the 2,000-year institution into the modern world. It’s a combination embodied by the current pope, Francis. “He was courageous. A good country priest, with a great sense of humor and great holiness,” Francis told reporters last summer when asked about John’s attributes. “He was one of the greats.” Born in 1881 to sharecroppers in northern Italy, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was elected pope on Oct. 28, 1958, naming himself after his father and in the process correcting the accident of history that was the 15th-century anti-pope John XXIII. During the Western Schism of the early 1400s, John XXIII was one of three men who claimed the papacy at the same time, though he later renounced it. Elected at age 76, the legitimate Pope John XXIII was expected to be a transitional, uneventful pope following the 19-year reign of the World War II-era Pope Pius XII. John had other plans. Less than three months after being elected, he announced that he would convene Vatican II, the first ecumenical council in a century. Vatican II went on to allow use of the vernacular rather than Latin for Mass. It called for greater participation of lay faithful in the life of the church and revolutionized Catholic relations with Jews. It also crystalized the divisions between traditionalist, conservative Catholics and the more progressive wing of the church that are still alive today. None of the faithful who gath-

ered in St. Peter’s Square the night it opened knew what was in store, but they were hopeful. John’s words seemed to herald something new: They were spontaneous when popes usually spoke in stiff, prepared paragraphs. They were grandfatherly when popes were supposed to sound regal. And perhaps most importantly, they were beamed into living rooms around the world on the relatively new medium of television. “Up until then, television had been used mostly to represent the splendor of power, both ecclesial and political,” said Alberto Melloni, John’s biographer who runs the foundation in Bologna where his papers are kept. “His way of speaking off-the-cuff that night broke this scheme of video as a demonstration of power.” The speech is now fondly called the “Speech to the Moon.” At the start, John marveled at the size of the crowd below and said it seemed almost as if the moon had come out early just to see the spectacle. Though John didn’t live to see the council through — he died of stomach cancer on June 3, 1963 — he is credited with having had the courage to launch the process that has defined the 20th-century Catholic Church, renewing church doctrine for modern times. The Rev. Robert Wister, a church historian at Seton Hall University, said John’s “roly-poly

appearance” — often cited in the well-meaning but inaccurate caricature of John as a simpleton — belied a steely diplomat who handled some of the church’s toughest assignments before becoming pope. At the same time, John was very much a basic parish priest: His first Christmas as pope, John left the Vatican to visit children at Rome’s main children’s hospital. The next day, he visited inmates at Rome’s main prison. Sundays he devoted to visiting parishes in the capital’s peripheres. In all, he “escaped” from the Vatican 152 times during his 4½-year papacy compared to the one spontaneous outing by Pius XII to visit a neighborhood devastated by a wartime bombing. Aside from Vatican II, John is perhaps best known for his last encyclical “Peace on Earth,” issued in the aftermath of the Cuban missile crisis which had erupted just three days after Vatican II began. The document elaborated a new type of teaching of the church as promoter of world peace. It was the first encyclical addressed not just to clergy but to “all men of good will” in a sign of John’s openness to the worldw. “He was a man who was able to transmit peace,” Francis told a delegation from John’s hometown of Bergamo on the 50th anniversary of his death last June. “He transmitted peace because he had a profoundly peaceful soul.”
NEW DELHI — Climbing to the roof of the world is becoming less predictable and possibly more dangerous, scientists say, as climate change brings warmer temperatures that may eat through the ice and snow on Mount Everest. Nepal was left reeling when a sudden ice avalanche slammed down onto a group of Sherpa guides on Friday and killed 16 in the deadliest single disaster on Everest. While it is impossible to link any single event to long-term changes in the global climate, scientists say the future will likely hold more such dangers in high-altitude regions. Avalanches of snow, rock or ice could increase. Climbing and trekking terrains would become unsteady. Glaciers may be more unpredictable. Storms will become more erratic, and the Himalayas in particular could see more snow as warming oceans send more moisture into the air for the annual Indian monsoon that showers the 1,500-mile mountain range. Friday’s disaster occurred at the Khumbu Icefall, long recognized as one of Everest’s most dangerous spots, as the edge of the slow-moving glacier is known to crack, cave and send huge chunks of ice tumbling without warning. “It’s Mother Nature who calls the shots,” Tim Rippel, an expedition leader, said in a blog post from Everest base camp as many of the 400 Sherpa guides were leaving, demanding better government compensation for the high risks they take in helping climbing companies ferry rich tourists up the peak. “The mountain has been deteriorating rapidly in the past three years due to global warming, and the breakdown in the Khumbu Icefall is dramatic,” he said. “We need to learn more about what is going on up there.” There is nothing to prove the icefall was behaving unusually on Friday. But scientists say mountaineers should assume that everything is in flux. What makes the situation so risky, scientists say, is the uncertainty itself. While scientists are sure things are changing, they’re not entirely sure how. Much of the evidence is anecdotal, and there isn’t enough data or decades of scientific observation to draw solid conclusions. Rigorous glacier studies have only begun in the Himalayas in the last decade, and no one is studying snow patterns on a large scale, Nepalese glaciologist Rijan Bhakta Kayastha at Kathmandu University said. Meanwhile, as global temperatures have gone up 1.4 degrees in the past century, according to the International Panel on Climate Change, studies show the Himalayas warming at a rate up to three times as high.

“But courts can only do their best to apply the statute as written in a workable manner, faithful to the competing principles at stake: that victims should be compensated and that defendants should be held to account for the impact of their conduct on those victims,” Kennedy wrote. At the same time, he said, courts must assure that defendants are liable only “for the consequences and gravity of their own conduct, not the conduct of others.” Kennedy said there were three options: give Amy nothing, because it is impossible to decide how Paroline’s possession of two images affected her; make Paroline liable for all of the damages, even though it is clear that his actions alone did not cause all of Amy’s problems;
or take the middle ground. Kennedy was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan. Chief Justice John Roberts “regretfully” dissented, and said a proper reading of the law would mean Paroline should pay nothing. “The statute as written allows no recovery,” wrote Roberts in a dissent joined by Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. “We ought to say so, and give Congress a chance to fix it.” Justice Sonia Sotomayor also dissented, but in the opposite direction. She read the law, which states that courts “shall direct the defendant to pay the victim … the full amount of the victim’s losses,” means that Paroline and every other defen-
dant should be liable for all of her loss, which is what the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit had ruled. Under that scenario, Amy would receive no more than the total $3.4 million, but it might be easier to collect if one of the defendants was wealthy enough to pay it all. Kennedy said paying nothing should not be an option. “Every viewing of child pornography is a repetition of the victim’s abuse,” Kennedy wrote. But he said that making each defendant liable for the total amount would be so “severe” as to raise constitutional questions. Instead, Kennedy said, there should be “reasonable and circumscribed” restitution that “comports with the defendant’s relative role.” That will be difficult for
judges, he acknowledged, because “this cannot be a precise mathematical inquiry.” But he said district courts should consider several factors. Among them: the number of other defendants who have paid restitution, the number of future offenders likely to be caught and whether the defendant reproduced or distributed images of the victim. Amy was raped by an uncle when she was 8 and 9 years old, and the events were recorded. The uncle received a lengthy prison term and paid about $6,000 in restitution. When she was 17, she learned that the images were widely available online. Her attorney Paul Cassell estimates more than 70,000 people have seen them.

within five weeks. Presidential and parliamentary elections should be held no sooner than six months after the government is formed, said Ismail Haniyeh, prime minister of the Hamas government. Similar agreements have been reached in principle in the past. But they were never implemented due to deep differences
and an unwillingness to cede power. Hamas, for instance, employs tens of thousands of civil servants and security forces in Gaza, and it is in no rush to relinquish control to a centralized government led by Abbas. The group has also seen its popularity plummet, making elections risky. Abbas could face international isolation and the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in aid if he joins forces with Hamas. International donors withheld aid during a shortlived Palestinian unity government elected in 2006 and 2007, before the Hamas takeover, due to concerns that the money would be diverted to Hamas.

Rift: Commissioners Hall, Espinoza want chief of staff to resign Continued from Page A-1 “The reason we need a resolution is because there is a constant disruption, and if you want to be a leader with the commission, you need to work with your fellow commissioners,” PRC Chairwoman Theresa Becenti-Aguilar said Wednesday. It was a barely veiled reference to Espinoza and Hall. “That’s how you grow as an agency.” But Espinoza said the ultimate responsibility for anything that happens at the PRC falls on the commissioners, not the chief of staff or the five bureau chiefs within the agency. “We answer for the mistakes they [the staff] make,” Espinoza said to her colleagues. “A resolution is not going to stop me from — the word the chief of staff has used for it — meddling. You’re stuck with me another three years, maybe four.”
Tensions between commissioners and Martinez exploded into the public eye a couple of weeks ago. On March 25, Martinez asked a deputy fire marshal, Vernon Muller, who was near Raton, to give Martinez’s son and his son’s girlfriend a ride back to Santa Fe from their disabled vehicle. Muller obliged. But state policy requires prior written authorization for someone to hitch a ride in a state vehicle. Without authorization, the state is liable if there’s an accident and unauthorized riders are injured, said state General Services Department Secretary Ed Burckle. “The state is self-insured,” Burckle said. “If there’s any injury that results, the taxpayer ends up paying.” Martinez reported his ride request via email March 26 to PRC fleet manager Annette Reynolds. He said staff then called the state Transportation
Limbo: High-risk pool has 7,000 members Continued from Page A-1 could lead Fisher and other highrisk insurance customers to lose credit for thousands of dollars in deductibles they already have paid since Jan. 1. Under his current plan, Fisher said, his share of medical expenses was cut to 20 percent after he crossed the $2,000 out-of-pocket threshold on medical bills earlier this year. The high-risk pool now shoulders 80 percent of his costs. When he reaches a $5,000 out-ofpocket maximum in a given year, 100 percent of his expenses are borne by the pool. Fisher doesn’t want to start over, with the meter running anew on out-of-pocket costs. “The odds are that I would spend more changing [plans] than I would staying in the same one,” he said. If the premium on his current plan is increased from $582 to $720, he said, the extra expense through the end of the year would be about $800. “I’m sure to spend more than that in medical bills over the next eight months,” he said, “so setting my deductible back would likely cost me more money.” But state officials say the highrisk pool was never designed to be a low-cost alternative. Instead, it was intended to provide access to medical care for those considered uninsurable. In fact, the law that created the pool in 1987 calls for its premiums to range from 105 percent to 150 percent of comparable plans on the private insurance market. “They are not designed to be cheaper than the commercial market,” said Aaron Ezekiel, director of Affordable Care Act implementation at the state Office of the Superintendent of Insurance. “They’re designed to be the market of last resort.” Even though members of the high-risk pool pay more than the average insurance customer for coverage, the program is largely subsidized through costs commercial insurers add to every customer’s premium and deferring taxes owed to the state by insurance companies. “Everybody else is paying the freight in two ways,” Ezekiel said. When the board that governs the high-risk pool asked the insurance superintendent late last year to approve the 12 percent premium increase that took effect Jan. 1, the impact of the Affordable Care Act on premiums in the commercial insurance market was uncertain, according to Deborah Armstrong, executive director of the New Mexico Medical Insurance Pool. Climbing insurance prices throughout the market led the board of the high-risk pool to seek the 23.8 percent increase beginning in July. An actuarial assessment presented to the board — whose members include consumers, insurance company representatives and
medical professionals — led to the proposed premium hike. Additionally, it’s a way to move pool members out of the subsidized state plan and into the private insurance marketplace that for the first time is required to accept them. “You’ve got a lot of people there who are really sick, and the last thing you want to do is throw them into a state of crisis,” Ezekiel said. “On the other hand, you want to work with the health insurance exchange and with the federal folks and ask them to take a serious look at the commercial market and consider moving to that. The pool has an obligation not to be simply a sink for cash when in fact people could be in the federal market.” Armstrong added: “We’re in the process of trying to transition folks to appropriate coverage, but we don’t want to create a false incentive to stay in the pool.” By imposing an increase midyear, Armstrong said members would have sufficient time to assess whether to stay with their existing plans or to shop on the open market or the health insurance exchange for new policies during the open enrollment period for 2015 that begins in the fall. Armstrong wouldn’t rule out the possibility of further premium increases for the high-risk pool during the year ahead. The deductible dilemma that Fisher and others face is likely to convince many to stick with their existing plans in the high-risk pool, even though the premium price could escalate, Ezekiel said. “That’s a pretty good argument for going with the same provider,” he said. At its peak in early 2013, the pool had about 8,500 members, Armstrong said. “The pool got so big because so many people were being denied coverage for various reasons,” Ezekiel said. He said the board is hoping to reduce membership in the subsidized pool. Medicaid expansion and federal subsidies for low-income consumers on the health exchange already have helped reduce the number of members in the pool, Armstrong said. No deadline has been set for Superintendent of Insurance John Franchini to issue a decision on the proposed premium increase, but that announcement could come any day. Until then, Fisher said he doesn’t have enough information to make an informed decision about whether to stay with his current plan through the high-risk pool or to go shopping for a new one. “Everybody is in limbo at this point,” he said.

Services to report the violation. The state Transportation Services staff received an anonymous call about the policy violation March 26. They didn’t receive a call from anyone with the PRC until April 4, according to General Services Department spokesman Tim Korte. Burckle said Martinez could have just phoned in a request ahead of time to have Muller transport the son and girlfriend. Transportation staff probably would have agreed to let them be transported to nearest auto shop, gas station or state office, he said. “I understand when it is your kid involved, you do what you think you need to do to get the kid out of harm’s way,” Burckle said. “I just don’t think it is appropriate to transport the kids a couple of hundred miles in a state vehicle.” The General Services Department
suspended state vehicle driving privileges for Martinez and Muller until July 10. The division on Wednesday heard an appeal of the action against Muller but hasn’t made a decision. Commissioners Patrick Lyons, Karen Montoya and Becenti-Aguilar voted a week ago to reprimand Martinez over the policy violation. Hall and Espinoza voted against the reprimand because they want Martinez to resign or be fired. Martinez said Wednesday he admits his mistake and accepts the suspension. “To me, its a dead issue,” he said. But with Hall and Espinoza calling for his resignation, “this is clearly a petty, vindictive move [by them] to make a mountain out of this molehill,” he said. “Their desire to have me gone isn’t new. It is five months old,” he said. “[Espinoza] couldn’t get along with
the last guy [former chief of staff Johnny Montoya]. Now she can’t get along with me.” Espinoza and Hall have asked the state auditor to investigate the violation of the vehicle policy. Martinez, a longtime National Guardsman, also has a history with the PRC. He was transportation director for a few years before becoming the agency’s chief of staff in 2001. He resigned a year later following a fight with some of the commissioners. His longtime former colleague and now-resigned PRC member Jerome Block Jr. was convicted in 2011 of six felonies, including embezzlement and fraudulent use of a government-issued gasoline charge card.

Continued from Page A-1
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has signaled for months that the federal appeals court decision striking down the earlier rules could force the commission to loosen its definitions of what constitutes an open Internet. Those earlier rules barred Internet service providers from making deals with services like Amazon or Netflix to allow those companies to pay to stream their products to viewers through a faster, express lane on the Web. The court said that because the Internet is not considered a utility under federal law, it was not subject to that sort of regulation. Opponents of the proposed rules said they appeared to be full of holes, particularly in seeking to impose the “commercially reasonable” standard. “The very essence of a ‘commercial reasonableness’ standard is discrimination,” Michael Weinberg, a vice president at Public Knowledge, a consumer advocacy group, said in a statement. “And the core of net neutrality is nondiscrimination.” The proposed rules, drafted by Wheeler and his staff, will be circulated to the agency’s other four commissioners beginning Thursday and will be released for public comment May 15. They are likely to be put to a vote by the full commission by the end of the year. News of the proposal was first reported online by The Wall Street Journal.
Cuts: State ‘satisfied’ with staffing plan Continued from Page A-1 The 26-employee reduction since mid-March decreases La Frontera’s New Mexico workforce to 344, or about 14 percent lower than the 400 people La Frontera inherited last summer when the firm took over for six New Mexico behavioral health service providers, Ranieri said. And more layoffs could be possible. Ranieri confirmed La Frontera has given notice it will not renew the lease of a Las Cruces facility that provides transitional housing to mental health clients when the lease expires at the end of June. The facility employs 10 people. The nonrenewal notice was “precautionary,” Ranieri said. Ranieri said La Frontera’s staff reduction was prompted by a loss of about $200,000 per month since January, although he believes the firm will break even by the end of May. The workforce reductions merely brought staffing levels in line with the amount of services provided, he said, although he could not pinpoint the number of clients La Frontera currently serves. A Human Services Department report with December data said the number of consumers served by La Frontera grew 42.5 percent compared to the number served by its predecessors — from 2,915 pre-transition to 4,154 clients afterward. “The most pertinent issue is the amount of valid services delivered,
and basically we staff based on the amount of services we produce,” Ranieri said. “And the amount of service we produced since we’ve been here is not enough to justify all the staff.” Ranieri said La Frontera would not want to reduce services to clients in part because what the company collects from Medicaid, the government’s health insurance program for the low-income, is based on the amount of services it provides to clients. “First of all, that’s the wrong thing to do and, second, that’s how we get paid,” Ranieri said. “It’s horrible professionally and it’s horrible from a business standpoint. Our goal is to increase services and the quality of services, but you have to do that in a way that makes sense.” Last week’s layoffs occurred on Good Friday following a face-to-face meeting April 17 in Santa Fe, in which Ranieri informed Human Service Department officials of the staff reduction plan. State officials were “satisfied” with La Frontera’s staffing plans, Human Services spokesman Matt Kennicott said Tuesday. “It didn’t sound like all the staff and the clinical folks had a full caseload, if you will,” Kennicott said. “The state doesn’t get involved in those business decisions. It seemed to us that they had a solid plan in place to make sure all consumers continue to receive care.” Employees who provide direct
services to clients are expected to provide about 100 hours of service per month, Ranieri said, adding, “The truth is that most people weren’t doing that.” Nine of the employees who lost their jobs were behavioral management specialists, while eight others managed clients’ cases. “We had over 70 people in that particular category,” Ranieri said, referring to behavioral management specialists. “Given the clients and the current demand, we were grossly overstaffed.” Four of the job losses occurred in Alamogordo, where La Frontera took over The Counseling Center. An investigation by the Attorney General Gary King’s office cleared The Counseling Center of Medicaid fraud, but Human Services still is seeking reimbursement of $323,000 in alleged overpayments, said the nonprofit’s CEO, Jim Kerlin. La Frontera provides services in Lordsburg, Deming, Silver City, Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Ruidoso, Mescalero and Anthony. It took over management by Border Area Mental Health, TeamBuilders, The Counseling Center, Southern New Mexico Human Development, Families and Youth Inc. and the Southwest Counseling Center.

Bonuses: No awards for executives subject to disciplinary action Continued from Page A-1 Last year, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, sponsored a bill that would have required agencies to fire employees with “seriously delinquent” tax debt. The measure died in the House after winning approval from the chamber’s Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has repeatedly proposed a similar legislation to no avail. Opponents argue that the bills unfairly target civil servants among the
many Americans who owe back-taxes. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said of the Chaffetz measure last year that the government would have a harder time collecting taxes from individuals who lose their jobs. Federal data show that 1.08 percent of Treasury Department employees, including those with the IRS, were tax-delinquent in 2011. The rate was the lowest among federal agencies and far less than the general public’s 8.2 percent rate. National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley said
Wednesday that IRS workers take their tax-paying responsibilities “very seriously” but that they sometimes face financial hardship. “Unlike any other federal or private sector employees, IRS employees face termination for not paying their taxes, underreporting their income or not filing in a timely manner,” Kelley said. “At times, however, IRS employees can face the same kinds of financial pressures that impact other taxpayers.” The Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management directed agencies in 2011
to reduce their spending on bonuses beginning the next year. The IRS complied with that order by trimming its awards from $92 million in 2011 to $86 million in 2012, according to the watchdog report. The inspector general recommended that the IRS implement a policy requiring management to consider conduct issues, including nonpayment of taxes before providing bonuses. The agency agreed with the suggestions and said it plans to conduct a study by June on implementing the policy.
The IRS said in a statement Wednesday that it has not issued awards during the past four years to any executives who were subject to disciplinary actions. The agency added that it is considering a similar policy for the entire IRS workforce, but that the move would depend on negotiations with NTEU. “The IRS takes seriously our unique role as the nation’s tax administrator,” the statement said. “We strive to protect the integrity of the tax system, and we recognize the need for proper personnel policies.”

Syrian activists accuse Assad of new gas attacks By Diaa Hadid and Zeina Karam The Associated Press
BEIRUT — Syrian government forces have attacked rebel-held areas with poisonous chlorine gas in recent weeks and months, leaving men, women and children coughing, choking and gasping for breath, according to Associated Press interviews with more than a dozen activists, medics and residents on the opposition side. Syria flatly denied the allegations, and they have yet to be confirmed by any foreign country or international organization. But if true, they highlight the limitations of the global effort to rid President Bashar Assad’s government of its chemical weapons. Witnesses near Damascus and in a central rebel-held village told the AP of dozens of cases of choking, fainting and other afflictions from inhaling fumes that some said were yellowish and smelled like chlorine cleanser. Some of those interviewed said they believe the gas was responsible for at least two deaths. They said the fumes came from hand grenades and helicopter-dropped “barrel bombs,” which are crude containers packed with explosives and shrapnel. Activists have posted videos similar, though on a far smaller scale, to those from last August’s chemical weapons attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of people and nearly triggered U.S. airstrikes against Syria.
The new footage depicts pale-faced men, women and children coughing and gasping at field hospitals. The U.N. Security Council called for an inquiry Wednesday. Council members expressed “grave concern” over the allegations, said Nigeria’s U.N. Ambassador U. Joy Ogwu, council president. It’s an accusation that carries high stakes, and the Syrian opposition has an interest in pushing such claims in hopes of spurring the world to take stern action against Assad, who has been locked in a civil war for three years and faces a Sunday deadline for handing over all his chemical weapons for destruction. Chlorine is a potentially lethal chemical with a multitude of ordinary civilian uses, including laundry bleach and swimming-pool disinfectant. In high concentrations, it can attack the lungs and asphyxiate victims. It is no longer officially considered a warfare agent and is not among the chemicals declared by Syria. It is not as effective at killing as sarin — the nerve agent that was apparently used last summer — and experts say it is difficult to achieve high concentrations of chlorine by dropping it from the air. Still, any toxic chemical is considered to be a chemical weapon if used for military purposes. Consequently, Syria’s use of chlorine-filled bombs, if confirmed, would be a violation of the chemical weapons treaty that Assad’s government signed last year as part of a deal to hand over its stockpile.

PARIS — U.S. military exercises in Eastern Europe were to begin this week as part of a move to ease the anxieties of eastern European countries alarmed by Russia’s efforts to reassert its hegemony in the region, Western officials said. The Russian incursion into Ukraine, including the seizure of Crimea and moves by Russianbacked separatists in the eastern part of the country, has fanned fears in the former eastern bloc, where memories of decades of Russian domination run deep. The conflict in Ukraine has been seen as a test of NATO’s resolve to maintain the post-Cold War order, including borders cemented after the fall of communism that Eastern European countries regard as sacrosanct. U.S. officials said that about 150 paratroopers from the U.S. Army’s 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team in Vicenza, Italy, arrived Wednesday in Swidwin, in northwestern Poland, to begin exercises with Polish troops. Troops will also be deployed in the coming days for similar exercises in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, U.S. officials said. Rear Adm. John F. Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said Tuesday that the exercises would last about a month and would involve “real infantry training.” Kirby said the exercises, a response to events in Ukraine, reflected the United States’ deep commitment to collective defense within the NATO alliance. “It’s a very tangible representation of our commitment to our security obligations in Europe, and the message is to the people of those countries and to the alliance that we do take it seriously,” he said. He added that it was also a message to Moscow that the U.S. took its security obligations in Europe “very, very seriously.”

Fundraising in governor’s contest takes an ugly turn Webber camp calls Martinez advisers a ‘fraternity of misogynistic thugs,’ digs up McCleskey’s criminal past By Steve Terrell The New Mexican
It’s on. The campaign for governor took a turn for the nasty Wednesday, when Democrat Alan Webber’s campaign emailed a fundraising letter calling Gov. Susana Martinez’s team of advisers a “fraternity of misogynistic thugs” and bringing up old criminal cases involving Martinez’s top political consultant, Jay McCleskey, from the 1990s. The email, signed by Webber’s campaign manager, Neri Holguin, also drew a bead on Martinez’s chief of staff, Keith Gardner, and Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott. “Let me repeat: this is her inner circle — the people she chooses to surround herself with each and every day, who guide her policy and her communications. And of course, her political spin,” Holguin wrote. “She and her band of criminals must be stopped.” McCleskey, who was in his 20s when the incidents took place, declined to respond to the email Wednesday, while Gardner and Kennicott didn’t respond to a request for comment. Martinez’s campaign spokesman, Chris Sanchez, released a statement saying, “On the same day Gov. Martinez launched a positive ad featuring Democratic mayors who have worked in a bipartisan manner to serve the needs of New Mexicans, Alan Webber’s unhinged email and tweet that compared the Dalai Lama to a domestic terrorist proved that he’s an unapologetic extremist who is better-suited to run a hate-filled blog than serve as the state’s chief executive.” The “domestic terrorist” reference points to Mark Rudd, a former member of the radical Weather Underground and a Webber supporter. Rudd, a retired math teacher who taught for 27 years at Central New Mexico Community College, long ago renounced the group and has advocated nonviolence for decades. Still, Martinez’s campaign refers to him as a terrorist and has blasted Webber for having ties to him. On Wednesday, Webber tweeted, “here is photo proof that I’ve met with so-called terrorists.”

or nearly 30 years, San Lorenzo, N.M., photographers Eric Renner and Nancy Spencer collected examples of pinhole photography. By the time they donated the Pinhole Resource Collection to the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives in 2012, there were 6,000 photographs by 500 photographers from 36 countries. Nearly 225 of those photographs and 40 cameras from the collection are featured in Poetics of Light: Pinhole Photography, an exhibition opening Sunday at the New Mexico History Museum in downtown Santa Fe.

stopped on the roadside and got out of the vehicle at the officer’s command. As the woman struggled with the officer, Farrell’s teenage son came out of a passenger-side door and walked around the minivan to push DeTavis away from his mother. The officer can be seen on video drawing his Taser as the young man ran in front of his mother’s parked vehicle and, after a brief standoff, jumped back in the minivan. Other officers arrived at the scene as Farrell, her son and his siblings locked themselves in the vehicle. At one point, DeTavis drew his truncheon and repeatedly swung at a passenger-side window to shatter the glass before Farrell drove away. Two officers then drew their firearms. Officer Elias Montoya fired three rounds at
U.S. News & World Reports listed two Santa Fe charter schools — The Academy for Technology and the Classics and Monte del Sol Charter School — as two of the best high schools in New Mexico. ATC also was ranked No. 91 among all the charter schools in the United States. U.S. News & World Reports worked with the American Institutes for Research in Washington, D.C., to review data from more than 31,000 public high schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. That figure was cut back to 19,411 schools that have a large enough senior class enrollment and adequate data from 2011-12 for analysis. The report focuses on college readiness data: how many students take Advanced Placement tests, how many pass those tests and the school’s Standards Based Assessment results. The report — which can be found at www.usnews. com/rankings — ranks best high schools, charter schools and colleges, and assigns the top schools with gold, silver and bronze designations. Based on the data, the top-ranked school in New Mexico is the state-chartered Albuquerque Institute for Mathematics and Science. South Valley Academy in Albuquerque, also a charter, placed second; Los Alamos High School placed third; ATC fourth; and La Cueva High School in Albuquerque fifth. Susan Lumley, principal of ATC, which has about 360 students in grades 7-12, said this is the fourth time the school has ranked in the report’s top 10 in the state during the past five years. She said seeing the school ranked against other top high schools in the nation “shows the level of rigor of commitment that we require of our students and our teachers.” Abbie Casias, academic dean for ATC, said the fact that three out of the top five high schools in the state are charter schools may suggest charters have more autonomy and flexibility to meet students’ needs. Jim Ledyard, head learner at Monte del Sol, which serves about 370 students, echoed that thought, saying the news is an affirmation of commitment on the part of students, parents and teachers at the school. Albuquerque Institute for Mathematics and Science Principal Katy Sandoval said this is the first time the 9-year-old school, which serves about 360 students in grades 6-12, met the criteria to be included in the U.S. News report. She said among other measures, the school implemented a teacher evaluation system and created a strict policy against social promotion for students who are not proficient years before the state Public Education Department pushed for these initiatives.

Charges dropped against teen in minivan chase By Andrew Oxford The Taos News
TAOS — Prosecutors on Wednesday dropped charges against a teenage boy who scuffled with a New Mexico State Police officer during an Oct. 28 traffic stop outside Taos in what his attorney characterized as an effort to defend his mother, who police say had been pulled over for speeding. The Tennessee teenager, then 14, was charged with a felony count of battery on a peace officer. The Taos News does not identify juveniles involved in criminal cases. The charge was dropped after the youth participated in a restorative justice circle with prosecutors Wednesday afternoon, according to court records. State police officers involved in the incident also were invited but declined to attend, according to the teenager’s lawyer, John Day.

Feds cite poor management, safety in radiation release Energy Department to release report of shortcomings at WIPP By Jeri Clausing
The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — Poor management, an eroding safety culture, ineffective maintenance and a lack of proper oversight are being blamed for a radiation release that contaminated 21 workers and shuttered the federal government’s nuclear waste dump two months ago in southeastern New Mexico. The series of shortcomings are identified in a report to be released
Thursday by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Accident Investigation Board and are similar to those found in a probe of truck fire in the halfmile-deep mine just nine days before the Feb. 14 radiation release from the Waste Isolation Pilot Project near Carlsbad. Board Chairman Ted Wyka previewed the findings at a community meeting Wednesday, identifying the root cause as a “degradation of key safety management and safety culture.” With the source of the leak still unknown, the Department of Energy’s investigation focused on the response to the emergency and to the safety and maintenance programs in place.
State offers help with uranium mine cleanup By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico is offering to help the Navajo Nation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency figure out how to best use $1 billion for cleaning up abandoned uranium mines throughout the region. The offer was made public Wednesday as the state scrambles for a seat at the table of what is expected to be a massive undertaking. Right now, New Mexico has no say in how the funds are spent as the result of a 2009 decision by former Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration and a bankruptcy expert in Attorney General Gary King’s office. At the time, the officials agreed it would not be in the state’s best interest to seek environmentalcleanup funds from a company that had filed for bankruptcy. The federal government ended up reaching a $5.15 billion settlement with Anadarko Petroleum Corp. in December. The deal resolved a legal battle over Tronox Inc., a spinoff of Kerr-McGee that Anadarko had acquired in 2006. Kerr-McGee had operated dozens of uranium mines in the area, including 21 in New Mexico.
Some of the settlement funds have been earmarked for cleaning up contaminated sites in the Navajo area, including sites in the Ambrosia Lake area just east of the reservation. Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration said Wednesday the state lucked out in that the definition of the sites to be cleaned up is broad enough to include those in northwestern New Mexico. “The state of New Mexico should not have declined to participate in this lawsuit back in 2009,” Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn said in a statement. “That was a major mistake that needs to be addressed for the sake of protecting our environment.” Flynn and state Energy and Minerals Secretary F. David Martin sent a letter Tuesday to the Navajos, the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice outlining New Mexico’s commitment to help in any way it can. The Environment Department oversees discharge permits and abatement plans for several of the sites in New Mexico. State officials say that technical and historical knowledge of the sites could prove valuable as the EPA and Navajo Nation decided how to tackle the cleanup project.
Schools: Los Alamos High improves ranking Continued from Page A-6 She said she knows these ideas are unpopular, but “they work.” Gene Schmidt, superintendent of Los Alamos Public Schools, said the news is “a credit to all the teachers and students in Los Alamos school system. It’s some-
thing that has been building on this district’s success story for a number of years.” Nationwide, Los Alamos High School ranked 500, up from about 560 the year before. “We feel in pretty good company — 500 out of some 19,000,” Schmidt said.
Wife: Visits OK’d after deadly 1980 riot Continued from Page A-6 that’s good,” she said. She met her husband, Bernie Smith, while he was in prison. They had their first night together in prison a day after they were married, she said. Smith, 58, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1982 killing of Ralph Pierro. At the time, Smith was living with Pierro’s wife, who was in the process of divorcing Pierro. While speaking to legislators, Israel described Smith’s crime as one that was tantamount to manslaughter. She said her husband is a model prisoner, and that conjugal visits are so important to him that he did not fight back when another inmate attacked him. She said Smith was determined to maintain a clean record so as not to jeopardize his visits with her. Legislators on the Criminal Justice Reform Subcommittee listened to Israel but made no comment on her plea that they try to save the 30-year-old practice of conjugal visits in New Mexico. Afterward, Israel said she hoped to obtain a court injunction to stop Marcantel from
ending the visits. State law, she said, mandates these visits for families and cannot be undone by administrative action. She said she had not hired an attorney to pursue the case. For his part, Macantel said he had analyzed prison practices for two years and concluded that overnight visits be eliminated. The decision was his alone, he said. “I never one day got pressure from the governor,” Marcantel said of his boss, Gov. Susana Martinez. New Mexico authorized conjugal visits after the 1980 riot at the Penitentiary of New Mexico, during which 33 inmates died at the hands of fellow prisoners. In the aftermath of the bloodshed, lawmakers created a system of conjugal visits in hopes of preventing another explosion of violence. Conjugal visits once were widespread in American prisons, but the trend has been to eliminate them. Mississippi also ended the visits this year. Only four states will allow overnight family visits in prisons after New Mexico bars them.
Shortcomings were found at almost every step, from a more than 10-hour response to the initial emergency alarm to a bypass in the filtration system that allowed the radiation to escape above ground. “The bottom line is they failed to believe initial indications of the release,” Wyka said. The report also found that much of the operation failed to meet standards for a nuclear facility; a lack of proper safety training and emergency planning; lagging maintenance; and a lack of strategy for things like the placement of air monitors. Problems with oversight by the Department of Energy also were cited.
In brief Don Gaspar Avenue closed near Capitol The city of Santa Fe’s Public Works Department announced Wednesday that a section of Don Gaspar Avenue near the Capitol will remain closed 24 hours a day, including weekends, because of unexpected conditions discovered during work on pedestrian safety improvements. That means no traffic will be allowed between South Capitol Street and Paseo de Peralta until further notice. The city earlier had announced that the area would be closed to traffic only during weekday work hours while crews work on the project, which includes building a raised pedestrian crosswalk, new curbs and gutters, sidewalks and minor paving and drainage improvements. The work was expected to take about three to four weeks. Wednesday’s statement said work hours will be extended to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will include weekends “to facilitate reopening this road as soon as possible.” Drivers should seek alternate routes, and pedestrians should also detour around the construction zone, the statement said.
Bob McQuinn, who took over as head of the contractor that runs the plant shortly after the release, acknowledged mistakes by Nuclear Waste Partnership. He also detailed a series of changes in management, training and operations to “assure that every hazard that is posed by WIPP is examined” and proper safeguards are put in place to make the operation “a world-class nuclear operation.” Crews are still working to identify the source of the leak, which sent low levels of radiation into the air around the plant, but officials believe it occurred in the area where toxic waste was last being handled. Officials Wednesday night said there were people working in
Trial starts in lawsuit over DWI deaths ALBUQUERQUE — A federal court trial is underway in Albuquerque in a lawsuit filed in connection with the deaths of two sisters in a 2010 drunkendriving accident in Santa Fe. A lawyer for the family of 19-yearold Del Lynn Peshlakai and 17-year-old Deshauna Peshlakai told jurors Tuesday that Applebee’s sales strategy emphasized alcohol sales while ignoring the dangers involved. The sisters were killed when a vehicle driven by James Ruiz slammed into the back of a car carrying the sisters and their parents, who were injured. Ruiz had been drinking at an Applebee’s restaurant and another restaurant. He’s now serving a 42-year prison sentence. The Albuquerque Journal reported that a lawyer for Applebee’s told jurors that Ruiz did not show signs of intoxication of Applebee’s.

that area at the time of the fire, but did not say what they were doing. Waste at the plant is stored in panels, which are a series of rooms cut out of underground salt beds. Five of those panels are full and have already been sealed. Panel 6 is full but has not yet been sealed. Panel 7 is the current active storage area, where contamination was found last week. A team made it back into Panel 7 on Wednesday, but did not find any evidence of a roof collapse or damaged waste containers. The dump is the federal government’s only permanent repository for waste from decades of building nuclear bombs.

Safe Routes to Schools project underway The city of Santa Fe’s Safe Routes to School Project, which began last week, will continue for about three months in an effort to enhance pedestrian byways — including sidewalks and crosswalk improvements and building medians — at various school sites around the city. The $600,000 project is funded with federal money. Contractors TLC Plumbing and Utility Inc. and H.Q Construction Inc. will perform the improvements between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. around several school sites, including Chaparral Elementary School, Capshaw Middle School, Aspen Community Magnet School, E.J.

Ugly: Rudd ‘meet-and-greet’ sparks attack Continued from Page A-6 Included was a photo of Webber shaking hands with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan religious figure whom the Chinese government has labeled a “terrorist.” Webber’s attack on Martinez’s advisers Wednesday was sparked by news stories about him attending a “meet-and-greet” at Rudd’s home put on by his wife. Afterward, Rudd sent friends an enthusiastic email endorsing Webber. Martinez’s campaign said Tuesday that Webber, a retired businessman who lives in Santa Fe, is “a far-left, fringe candidate” with “extreme views” who “embraces the support of a notorious domestic terrorist.” Holguin’s email said, “They’re attacking Alan for being endorsed by a longtime teacher … a peace activist who has been apologizing for 40 years for his involvement with the Weather Underground in the late 1960s. “To be fair, let’s take a close look at Susana’s inner circle … ” The email links to several legal documents, which, in McCleskey’s case, have been posted on the website of Independent Source PAC, a now inactive political committee that has been highly critical of the Martinez administration. Holguin brings up a 1998 incident in which McCleskey was charged with misdemeanor battery against his then-girl-
The email links to several legal documents, which, in McCleskey’s case, have been posted on the website of Independent Source PAC, a now inactive political committee that has been highly critical of the Martinez administration. friend’s roommate. Though a criminal complaint was filed, the case eventually was dropped. The Webber campaign also pointed to a drunken-driving conviction for McCleskey in 1999 and a guilty plea that same year to leaving the scene of an accident. Holguin’s email brought up several complaints against Gardner, all of which have been well covered in the media. These include “alleged battery against a young woman,” which refers to a 2012 incident in which a lobbyist for Albuquerque Public Schools accused him of grabbing her arm and and yelling at her in “in an extremely threatening manner” at the Capitol during a legislative session. Gardner denied the accusation. No charges were filed. The email said Gardner “viciously attacked” former Senate pro-tem President Tim Jennings — though that “attack” was verbal and made during
a private conversation with a friend of Gardner’s, who was secretly taping the conversation; that he skirted public information laws by using private email instead of his government account (which has been documented); and that he used his position to get government jobs for friends and family members. Gardner’s wife was hired by the state Public Education Department, but Gardner has said he had nothing to do with the hire. The campaign email blasted Kennicott for things he said on a 2010 recording released last week in connection with a very negative Mother Jones magazine article about Martinez. Kennicott made disparaging remarks about the late House Speaker Ben Luján, a Democrat from Nambé, as well as about the Commission on the Status of Women. Kennicott last week apologized for his remarks about Luján.
Teen: Police accused of withholding evidence Continued from Page A-6 the minivan while Officer Anthony Luna took aim but did not shoot. Montoya was later fired from the state police after an internal investigation into the incident. Farrell led pursuing officers through Talpa and into Taos, where she stopped outside a hotel on Paseo del Pueblo Sur, then surrendered along with her son as his siblings piled out of the minivan at gunpoint. The incident garnered national media attention after the video, recorded by a camera inside DeTavis’ patrol car, was broadcast by Albuquerque television stations and posted online. The shooting also followed a series of incidents in which state police officers were accused of using excessive force or inappropriately firing weapons. “The teenager was trying to protect his mom from an out-of-control cop who was on the job for just a few days and in way over his head,” Day said. State police, who became increasingly
guarded amid criticism that followed the string of officer-involved shootings, were accused by attorneys representing Farrell and her son of withholding evidence. The decision to dismiss charges against Farrell’s son indicates state police were eager to avoid further embarrassment, Day said. “It seems they would rather dismiss than disclose those files, which is curious,” he told The Taos News. “There’s more material that they haven’t released. I want to know why.” Prosecutors also were prepared to proceed with a trial, 8th Judicial District Attorney Donald Gallegos said, but opted to resolve the case through unconventional means. “My job is not to seek convictions or put the child in any sort of jacket but to pursue justice,” he told The Taos News. He described the restorative justice circle as productive and educational for the teen. “What I wanted to focus on was what was best for the child,” Gallegos said. Farrell’s attorneys are calling for dis-
missal of the charges against her, which include intentional abuse of a child and aggravated fleeing of a law enforcement officer. In a motion filed earlier this month, lawyer Kathryn Hardy alleged improprieties in the grand jury process that resulted in Farrell’s indictment. One of Montoya’s sisters served on the grand jury and was only replaced by an alternate after asking to be excused, according to the motion. Farrell’s attorneys also argued that she was not provided adequate notice of the grand jury and did not have the opportunity to testify before it. In a response filed in 8th Judicial District Court, prosecutors argued that Farrell’s concerns about her indictment have been raised too late and that she was given adequate notice of the grand jury proceedings. A judge in Taos is scheduled to hear arguments on the motion May 8. Farrell is free on $50,000 bond. The Taos News is the sister paper of The Santa Fe New Mexican.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Mom’s concern should be for son Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Joe,” and I have been together for five years. My son (from a previous relationship) and I moved away from family and friends to live with him. Shortly after moving, I became pregnant with our daughter. At first, our relationship was perfect. Joe was sweet, kind and helpful. Now we get into a lot of disagreements that result in our not speaking for days. Worse, when Joe stops speaking to me, he also ignores my 7-year-old son, who looks up to Joe as a father figure. A year ago, I suggested counseling, but even though Joe agreed to go, he hasn’t found the time. Discussing it doesn’t help. Joe becomes defensive and closed off. Here’s the current problem: I finally decided to go back to school, which is a wonderful opportunity for me. Although I’d like to move out, I cannot support my children while attending school, and there won’t be any help from family or friends. It means I must rely on Joe for childcare and housing. Is this horribly selfish of me to keep living with Joe for that purpose? How can I explain this awkward arrangement to my two beautiful children? — Heartbroken in Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: People live with each other for a variety of reasons, including financial stability, and you don’t need to explain it to your young children. More importantly, is Joe willing to do this? Is there a chance the two of you will reconcile? Please don’t lie to Joe. He should know that you want to go back to school so you can help support the family. Ask him again to come with you for counseling to work on your relationship issues, but if he refuses, please go on your own. Your efforts to discuss things lead to defensiveness and entrenchment, and counseling
will help you find better ways to communicate. It also will help you learn how to protect your son from Joe’s neglect, and that should be your primary concern. Dear Annie: My sister, “Beth,” is five years older than I am. While we get along well, we have never been close. She tends to be negative and judgmental. I check in with her monthly, and whenever I go home to visit my parents, I make sure to visit her and her kids. In the 20 years I have lived in my current place, she has never once visited. I am now in my 50s and plan to marry a wonderful man this summer. I did not ask Beth to be in my wedding party, choosing close friends instead. Beth is now upset and refuses to speak to me. She might not attend the wedding. My parents are heartbroken, and I am at a loss to understand her reaction. Should I have considered my only sister before my friends? — Surprised Sister Dear Surprised: While you are not obligated to have your sister in the wedding, it is customary to include siblings — especially since you have only one and there is no enmity that makes her participation unwelcome. For the sake of family harmony (and your mother), please phone Beth and say, “I’m so sorry I didn’t ask you to be in my wedding party. It didn’t occur to me that you would want the fuss. But I would be so honored to have you stand up for me, and I hope you will.” She might refuse, but the gesture itself may mitigate the hard feelings. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just One More Day,” whose family members had all passed away. It reminded me of something a friend said when I was complaining about some insignificant thing my mother had done that irritated me. He simply said, “I wish my mother was still alive so that I could be mad at her.” — Just One More

Spaying/neutering for Chihuahuas Add Chihuahuas to the list of breeds that get special treatment at the Santa Fe animal

by the elder Olate. Nicholas Olate says his father, the second youngest of 22 children born in Chile, was 10 when he adopted and started training strays. By 12, he was supporting his entire family with his dog shows. After a circus group saw the act, Richard Olate and the dogs were performing in the United States. Nicholas Olate, born in Oregon, started working with his dad when he was 6. He said he is often asked how they train the dogs — they don’t use treats, instead making the work fun and filled with love. “Maybe my dad would have trained with treats, but he was so poor, he didn’t have money for them,” Nicholas Olate said. For those who wonder if the dogs enjoy performing, you can tell how they feel by their body language, said Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, a San Diego veterinarian and author of pawcurious.com. “In my experience, high-energy dogs that are given an outlet for that energy are usually pretty darn happy,” she said. “Running,

Pet owners warned of snakes Rattlesnakes — and other snakes — are coming out of their winter slumber. Pet owners who use public spaces or go on hikes should keep their dogs close to them and follow these tips to avoid bites: u Walk your dog on a fixed leash in areas where snakes may live, which includes rocky areas or areas with dense brush or weeds. Veterinarians say the majority of bites occur when dogs are off leash or on flexible leads. u Stay on designated trails or paths, or choose wide trails or road. Being able to see what lies ahead on a trail could save you or your dog from a bite. u Consider a rattlesnake vaccine. The vaccine, which is made from snake venom, reduces the severity of the bite and the amount of anti-venom serum the dog will need. The vaccine does not eliminate the need for veterinary care, but it can cut veterinary costs and save a dog’s life. Check with a veterinarian about costs. u Know rattlesnake-bite symptoms in dogs. Any delay in getting a dog or cat veterinary care could endanger the animal’s life. Symptoms include: puncture wounds, severe pain, swelling, restlessness, panting or drooling. Severe symptoms, which could appear quickly or within a few hours of a bite, include: lethargy, weakness, muscle tremors, diarrhea, seizures and neurological signs.

Wanda
By Sue Manning
LOS ANGELES — A million dollars will change you. Since a father and son took their 10 flipping, twirling dogs from the center ring of a circus to the stage of a reality show, where they won TV competition America’s Got Talent, people pack their performances at large venues, and they have been tapped to star in short films bankrolled by Ellen DeGeneres’ pet food company, one of which is set to screen at the Cannes Film Festival. Richard Olate, 56, son Nicholas, 21, and 10 poodle-mix dogs — most of them rescues — dazzled audiences and grabbed the Talent title in 2012 with their jumping, running, hiding, rolling and riding of dogsize cars and scooters. In the fast-paced, trick-filled shows, the dogs use slides and jump ropes better than most kids, fall into a conga line in perfect sync and one does backflips flawlessly. After winning the million-dollar prize, the troupe headlined a show at the Venetian resort and casino on the Las Vegas Strip for six months and started traveling in a cushy motorhome and trailer that pamper people and pooches. “The dogs give us our life, so we make sure they are always in a good place,” Nicholas Olate said of the dogs’ new mode of travel, which has heating, air conditioning and showers. “Everything’s decked out for their comfort.” The Olates, including wife and mom Rebecca, who serves as road and communications manager, spend more than 11 months a year on the road. They still play circuses, but with their fame, now take their performances to concert halls, NBA games and other large venues. A major draw is 6-year-old Lili, the family’s only canine performer who can do a backflip and a key reason the Olates won America’s Got Talent, whose new season premieres May 27. The act triumphed after 45 years of work

Performing dogs go big after winning $1M jumping, weaving — those are all activities a dog’s body is suited for. Work, take a break, have a snack, repeat: not a bad life for a pup.” The Olates and their dogs have even taken on a new type of performance, starring in a series of short online films promoting shelter adoptions. They could even be eligible next year for Oscar consideration in the narrative short film category. Told from the dog’s point of view, a 6-minute French language film called Le Sauvetage opened the Sonoma International Film Festival in California this month and will be shown at the Cannes Film Festival in France in May. Nicholas Olate plays lead character Phillipe, who falls in love after the dogs rescue him and co-star Tate Ashley from their lonely, boring lives. Richard Olate also appears in the film, sitting on a bench holding a dog. The next film, set for release in June, will look at how dogs choose their human best friends. The Olates’ pooches also manage some brand placement for Halo, Purely for Pets, the DeGeneres-owned natural pet food company that’s funding the films. Steve Marton, Halo’s CEO and executive producer of the films, wants them to gain a large audience “because they show how lives can be changed forever when you take a shelter dog home.” “Before you see the show, you assume the guy’s a good dog trainer,” Marton said of the elder Olate. “Then you see it, and you realize Richard is not managing the dogs. He is out there with his partners.” The dogs liked the crowds that gathered for America’s Got Talent and the show they headlined in Las Vegas, Nev., the family says. “The crowds pumped the dogs up and added to their energy,” Nicholas Olate said. The younger Olate continues to add to his repertoire, displaying his singing chops in a pop album called Think Big. The dogs also released one, called The Olate Dogs’ Christmas, where they bark along to the music.
u Stay calm if you encounter a rattlesnake and slowly back away until you or your dog are no longer within striking distance (about the snake’s length) and until the snake stops rattling. Carefully leave the area — spotting one snake could mean there are more in the area. u If a dog is bitten by a rattlesnake, carry the dog to a vehicle or walk him or her to a vehicle for help. Limiting a dog’s activity will slow the venom from moving around in their body. Once secure in the vehicle, seek immediate veterinary care.

Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society: Wanda, a 2-year-old Staffordshire terrier mix, is a true gem who always has a smile on her face. She has a charming personality and a happy-go-lucky view of life. Ali, a 6-year-old male cat, is a warm-hearted, handsome boy who enjoys string toys and loves the company Ali of humans and other cats. He shares his kennel with his brother, Beta, and it would be great if this bonded pair could continue to live together in a loving home. These and other animals are available for adoption from the shelter, 100 Caja del Rio Road. The shelter’s adoption hours are 11 a.m. Beta to 5 p.m. daily. The shelter’s mobile adoption team will be at Petco on Cerrillos Road from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday, and at its resale store, Look What the Cat Dragged In 2, 541 W. Cordova Road, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Visit www.sfhumanesociety.org or call 983-4309, ext. 610.

She can be quite independent and is affectionate on her own Sadie terms. She’d make a wonderful companion cat for a peaceful, mellow home. Thelma, a beautiful girl with a short black-and-white coat, would probably prefer a home without small children. She loves the comforts of home and the company of other cats. Cats of all ages are available for adoption from Felines & Friends and can be visited at Thelma Petco throughout the week during regular store hours.

Dems praise Martinez in campaign ad ALBUQUERQUE — A new television ad by Gov. Susana Martinez’s re-election campaign features Northern New Mexico Democratic officials praising the Republican governor. The Martinez campaign said Wednesday the 30-second ad will air statewide on broadcast and cable television. The ad seeks to portray Martinez as a caring, bipartisan governor who sets aside politics in helping communities. Former Taos Mayor Darren Cordova lauds the governor for her assistance when the
community struggled with a natural gas outage during the winter of 2011. He declares, “She is one of us.” Las Vegas Gov. Susana Mayor Martinez Alfonso Ortiz said in the ad that Martinez “cares for all the people of New Mexico.” Martinez pushed for state funding to help Las Vegas address water supply problems.

Funeral services and memorials DONALD L. CHALMERS Donald L. Chalmers, 65, passed away peacefully on Easter morning, April 20, 2014, surrounded by his family. Known to most as Don or to his family as he was growing up as "Dude." Don was born on May 4, 1948 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to James S. (Bud) and Marjorie (Cohenour) Chalmers. Don is survived by his wife of 45 years, Dianne, his daughter Courtney and her husband Rob, his son Cameron and his wife Brandi, and his two grandchildren Kayley and Ben Howard. He is also survived by his two brothers Greg Chalmers and wife Karen, and Kirk Chalmers and wife LaDon along with other extended family. Don was active in his high school, Tulsa Memorial High School, where he was Vice President of Student Council his senior year and a member of the wrestling team. He went on to attend Tulane University where he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. He returned back to Oklahoma to marry his high school sweetheart, Dianne, in 1969 and attended Oklahoma State University and received his BS degree in Marketing in 1970. Don along with his two brothers worked at the family automotive parts business all through junior high and high school. Being close in age many good times were had amongst the brothers and their parents along with their dog, Bruce. Don’s grandfather, Jimmy Chalmers, a Scottish immigrant, lived with the family. Don and his brothers learned about their Scottish heritage from him as it was a main stay of their family tradition. Don travelled several times to Scotland to experience more of his heritage which was extremely important to him. Family to Don was always near and dear to his heart. Whether travelling on business or pleasure Dianne was always with him. A large part of his heart was in Texas where his children and grandchildren live. He travelled to Dallas to spend as much time with them as he could and to cheer on his beloved Dallas Cowboys. Don loved to play golf and was able to experience some of the best golf courses around the world. From his days of fishing in the ponds and creeks around his home as a young boy, Don fell in the love with the solitude of fishing. He fly fished throughout the world with friends and his son, Cameron. Don was both a connoisseur and student of wine, taking great pleasure in knowing the history of different wines. With his love of reading, he most enjoyed learning more about history, business leadership and self improvement. Throughout his life animals played an important part whether it was his lizards, turtles, and snakes as a young boy or his horses and dogs as he had as an adult. His dog, Minnie, stole his heart the minute she came to live with them. Don started his career with Ford Motor Company as a Dealer Representative in Houston, TX. He would call upon local dealers and was so highly thought of by one dealer that he was given the opportunity to become a partner in a dealership in San Antonio, TX. During this time their children, Courtney and Cameron, were born. Two years later, he became partner in Sound Ford in Seattle, Washington. He went on to own eight automotive dealerships in the Seattle area which included twelve franchises. In 1987, Don sold his interests in the Seattle dealerships and moved back to Tulsa where he owned and managed two successful dealerships. Education has always been extremely important to Don. He wanted to lend his leadership abilities and was elected and served on the Jenks Board of Education, one of the largest school district in Oklahoma. Don was very active in the Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Jenks communities where he served on various boards and led the community by example. Throughout the years, Don and Dianne greatly enjoyed watching their children’s activities throughout high school and then sending them off to college. In 1995, Don sold his dealerships in Tulsa and he and Dianne moved to New Mexico where he was asked by Ford Motor Company to build a new dealership in Rio Rancho. With Don’s foresight, he built a non-traditional car dealership where the customer would have a more positive buying experience. His personal family values were extended into the culture of his dealerships. Don was very loyal to all his employees and treated them like his extended family. Don Chalmers Ford opened its doors on February 29, 1996. He acquired Chalmers Capitol Ford in March 2007. Don shared his leadership abilities with various national, state and local organizations. Don served as Vice-President of the University of New Mexico Board of Regents; Vice-President of the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Board of Directors; Served on the board of the National Auto Dealer Association and was Chairman of the Government Relations and Industry Relations committees; Board member of the Ford National Dealer Council; Past Chairman of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes National Board; Past Chairman of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce and the Rio Rancho Chamber of Commerce; Past Chairman of United Way of Central New Mexico and Alexis de Tocqueville Society; Past President and current member of the Rotary Club of Albuquerque del Sol; and numerous other boards and organizations.

n Easter Sunday, there was a very large gathering of people at the Torreon Park on West Alameda Street for an Easter egg hunt. There were hundreds of people gathered and cars parked for blocks. The event included catered food and drinks. After the event there were overflowing trash bags on the ground and lots of trash spilling out of the park trash bins. I would love to see folks in Santa Fe feel so much gratitude for the parks we have that they would actually leave the area cleaner than they found it. I am not sure who is responsible for cleaning up the mess this group left, but it will be a big job. Let’s all show our gratitude for the parks by caring for them like they are our own backyard.

Musical tradition I was really pleased to see Marc Simmons’ (“Marching bands are part of city’s community tradition,” April 19) published in The Santa Fe New Mexican. There were just a few words about the Santa Fe Concert Band, founded in 1983 by conductor Greg Heltman, in continuation of the tradition that Simmons summarized. The Santa Fe Concert Band, now in its 31st season, comprises dedicated volunteer musicians who provide free
public entertainment throughout the year. Many of these performances have become an annual tradition, entwined with the band’s own history within the city. We welcome all Santa Feans to our free concerts and performances including our Mother’s Day Concert on May 11 and our Ride for the Band fundraiser on May 17 and 18. Take a look at our website, www.santafeconcertband.org, and see what’s happening. Paul Pease, president

Has there really been a U.S. pivot to Asia? WASHINGTON resident Barack Obama is making his fifth trip as president to Asia this week, with planned stops in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines. With Russia possibly on the verge of invading Ukraine and new allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria, an Asia trip frankly feels a little off-topic. This isn’t a criticism of the trip, which has been planned for a while, but it does often feel as if despite all the talk of its growing strategic importance, East Asia rarely seems to be the center of attention in Washington. Any time the president or Secretary of State heads to the region, it inevitably provokes a new round of reflection on the administration’s once highly touted “pivot to Asia.” As the Los Angeles Times writes: Since the much-touted decision to “pivot” to Asia, the Obama administration has found itself repeatedly pulled away by crises in the Middle East, political battles in Washington and, more recently, turmoil in Ukraine. A key piece of the policy, an ambitious Pacific Rim free-trade pact, has met resistance from the president’s own party and bogged down in tariff disputes with Japan. The promised transfer of U.S. warships, Marines and other military resources to the Pacific has been incremental, and limited by Pentagon budget cuts. The military component of the pivot was always a bit less that met the eye. The plan to have 60 percent of the Navy’s fleet based in the Pacific by 2020 isn’t all that impressive considering it was already 55 percent before the policy was
announced, and given that plans to boost the forces in the Pacific come at a time of overall Pentagon cutbacks, it’s unlikely that U.S. forces in the Pacific will actually grow to any significant extent in terms of raw numbers. A planned deployment of Marines to Australia has been smaller than anticipated. What about diplomatic engagement? It’s certainly a crude measure, but I was curious if there was any evidence of the pivot in the amount of time the secretary of state has spent traveling in the region. The pivot concept was first popularized after Hillary Clinton used the term in an October 2011 article in Foreign Policy, which argued that the U.S. needed to shift its diplomatic and security priorities from the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific region. In her tenure prior to that, Clinton had made 25 visits to countries in East Asia (counting multiple visits to the same country, multiple countries visited on one trip, and Australia), or about .73 visits per month. After the pivot was announced she made 20, or 1.4 visits per month. Looking at it another way, Clinton spent 26 days in Asia in 2012 vs. 18, 19 and 15 the previous three years of her tenure. If 2012 was the high-point of the pivot, things have slowed down since John Kerry took over and has made the Middle East peace process his signature initiative — that is, when he’s not attempting to put out fires in Syria or Ukraine. Since taking over, Kerry’s made an average of 1.14 visits to Asian countries per month, though he also spends a lot more time on the road in general. Out of 10 foreign trips made this year, only one

o one is begrudging new Mayor Javier Gonzales an office remodel — that is, of course, if he doesn’t spend too much. However, at first taxpayers couldn’t judge if the mayor was going over the top with fixes in his city office. Rather than tell reporter Daniel J. Chacón how much the new office floor cost, the city directed him to file an Inspection of Public Records request instead. After a few hours of reflection, city officials released the numbers. Good call. So far, the city has spent $2,154 on a laminate floor, $2,879 (on sale) for a Kendall sofa and $965 for a table — all from locally owned businesses. Replacing old carpet and buying furniture is hardly big news. What’s more, the mayor shopped local (we suggest whomever’s in charge of the redesign look for handmade pieces to showcase local artists’ work, whether furniture, light fixtures or pillows or rugs.) Not answering questions is bad news, though. Gonzales, in his first weeks as mayor, has released information and instructed employees not to hold back answers. He should continue in that vein and tell overly cautious workers that few questions deserve to be answered by a “put that in writing” response. Here’s why we are concerned. Last week, the city sent out a news release on Holy Thursday afternoon — not long before the town shut down for Good Friday — about big changes in personnel at the Convention and Visitors Bureau. We think hiring Randy Randall as executive director is an excellent move, but were left wondering about the timing of the announcement. What questions were staffers hoping not to have to answer about the CVB, especially about what happened to the previous director? Gonzales needs to rein in over-eager employees and tell them that not everything is a secret or a potential scandal. Carpet will be replaced. Top city officials will get the boot and new ones will be hired. Reporters will ask questions. The only time such news becomes scandalous is when the city acts as though it has something to hide.

As a local businessman, I appreciate Fred Nathan’s proposals for developing a better private sector economic environment (My View, “New Mexico needs new job growth ideas,” April 20). However, he omits the most egregious obstacle to improving our competitive capability. Unlike all the sunbelt states around us, New Mexico is not a rightto-work state. We are very simply a government of the unions, by the unions and for the unions. Almost threequarters of our workforce is in the public sector, according the Rio Grande Foundation, and consists primarily of unionized city, county, state and federal employees. This is not a solid foundation upon which to create a thriving private sector in any way, shape or form. Right-towork legislation is impera-

included a stop in Asia. Last year, 4 out of 20 did. As for the president, his efforts to travel to the region — particularly to Indonesia, where he spent a significant portion of his childhood and remains extremely popular — have been continually hampered by crises elsewhere. Planned trips to Asia were postponed due to the debate over the Affordable Care Act, the BP Oil Spill and last year’s government shutdown. Of course, high-profile visits aren’t the best way to measure diplomatic engagement. But there doesn’t seem to be much evidence that the administration is spending more of its energy on Asia, or less of it on the Middle East, than it did previously. As Gideon Rachman argues in the Financial Times, the fact that the pivot hasn’t been much in evidence doesn’t mean that the idea wasn’t a sound one. The Pacific is an area of growing strategic and economic importance and the U.S. position still carries a significant amount of weight there. But the fact is that more attention tends to be paid to the places where things are blowing up on a regular basis. Thankfully, despite tensions running high on the Korean peninsula and the East China Sea, Asia is not yet that place. But it means that the region is often going to be pushed to the back-burner when more obvious crises present themselves.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: April 24, 1914: Naco, Ariz. — The embargo on munitions of war was put in effect again at this port today. Feeling here is growing intense and citizens of Naco, as well as those at Bisbee, are talking of organizing for home defense. After 6 o’clock tonight, Mexicans will not be allowed to come to this side and the Mexicans have issued a similar order directed against Americans. Both measures are precautionary and are effective only at night. April 24, 1964: Los Alamos — “Fallout shelters are grim at the very best, but they may mean survival,” Dr. Wright Langham said today as he surveyed reports on delivery of more than 9,000 new Civil Defense Shelter Handbooks to families in the Los Alamos area. April 24, 1989: Growing evidence shows that improved treatments for AIDS are prolonging lives, and many leading experts say that is a powerful new reason for those at high risk for the disease to get tested for the AIDS virus even if they have no symptoms. The new approaches are not cures for the fatal disease but are expected to add time for people infected with the virus. The new therapies are combinations of new drugs and new forms of older drugs. Also, experience gained since the disease was first recognized in 1981 has taught doctors that many preventions and treatments that are standard in medical practice can be of critical importance in improving the quality and length of life for people with AIDS.

The gap between Monte del Sol and Pecos over the past two years has been so small, it would be hard to slide a piece of Pecos 2 paper through it. M. del Sol 1 But the one thing that has not changed over the last three District 6AA baseball games the two programs have played in the last 12 months is the outcome. Wednesday afternoon saw yet another onerun battle, and it tilted in the Panthers’ favor one more time. It took a timely hit by Pecos pitcher Arthur “Tutti” Archuleta and an untimely throwing error by Monte del Sol catcher Jake Theis to produce a 2-1 Panthers win at Pecos High School. The win gives the Panthers (15-4 overall, 5-0 6AA) a precious two-game edge on the Dragons with just three district games left on the schedule, and a win over Mora on Monday will sew up an eighth straight district title. That margin in the standings makes the gut-churning battles between 6AA’s top two teams worthwhile for Pecos head coach Augustin Ruiz. “The breaks just seem to go our way,” Ruiz said. “I think so. And our pitching — nothing to take away from their pitching — but ‘Tutti,’ the two times he faced them, they had like two or three hits off of him.” This time around it was just two, and they both came in the third inning. They led to Monte del Sol’s lone run. Johnny Rivera’s infield hit opened the door, then his subse-

It’s hard to find any good news for Charlotte, between this two-game hole and the ongoing injury concerns revolving around their best player. Not only have the Bobcats lost 18 straight games to Miami, but the Heat have never dropped any of the previous 11 postseason series in which they’ve grabbed a 2-0 series lead. James, between his time in Cleveland and Miami, is 11-0 in such situations. Wade has been part of nine previous 2-0 leads with the Heat, and six of those series ended in no more than five games. Miami’s lead was 91-77 midway

Los Alamos AD to resign at end of school year Nelms oversees one of most successful AAAA programs in state By James Barron The New Mexican
Vicki Nelms is trading green and gold for red and black. Nelms announced her resignation as the athletic director at Los Alamos High School, effective at the end of the school year, through a statement on Wednesday. She accepted the AD position at Clackamas High School, a Class AAAAAA school just outside of Portland, Ore. Clackamas’ primary colors are red and black, but Nelms noticed similarities with both schools. “They both believe in their athletic programs,” Nelms said. “It took a lot to get me away, but I am excited about the new opportunity.” It came about when Nelms, who is in her seventh year as AD, started looking at other jobs after Los Alamos principal Sandra Warnock announced her retirement this year. Nelms said she saw Clackamas’ advertisement for the AD opening and was intrigued by it. “This one came about pretty quickly, and I just had a great visit,” Nelms said. “I’m looking forward to working with the people at Clackamas.” Seven years seems to be a common theme with the post at Los Alamos. Nelms was hired in 2007 to replace Robert Abney, who also lasted seven years before taking an assistant principal position at the school and subsequently moving on to Albuquerque. Nelms oversaw one of the most successful AAAA programs in the state. Los Alamos won 17 state team championships during that time. Much of that success came in crosscountry and track and field. The

CHICAGO here was a giant replica cake right next to the Ernie Banks statue, and an oldtime band played as fans made their way through the main entrance. The famed marquee had a message, too. “Happy Birthday, Wrigley Field,” it read. Exactly 100 years after the Chicago Federals pounded the Kansas City Packers in the first game at the famed ballpark, Wrigley was the scene of a joyous birthday bash on Wednesday afternoon.

Banks and other Hall of Famers such as Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins and Andre Dawson were on hand, and so were Bears greats Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers. The Cubs and Diamondbacks went retro, wearing throwback 1914 jerseys, and the famed scoreboard listed Kansas City and Chi-Feds in their place. It was a day of celebration, a day of reflec-
tion. And a day that ended with another loss, the Cubs falling 7-5 after blowing a ninth-inning lead. But before that, the memories, the stories, flowed like runs in a big rally. “It just gives me goose bumps because I had a chance to play here,” Williams said. “I often said this was my playground during the summer for so many years. So I have enjoyed it and I still enjoy it.” The celebration was held as Cubs ownership and the neighboring rooftop owners remain in a standstill over proposed renovations.

Seahawks to open NFL season vs. Packers By Barry Wilner
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mike McCarthy promises there won’t be any bad memories plaguing his Green Bay Packers when they open the NFL season on Sept. 4 at Super Bowl champion Seattle. The last time Green Bay visited CenturyLink Field was in Week 3 of the 2012 season, a 14-12 Seahawks victory clinched on what now is often dubbed the “Fail Mary.” Russell Wilson’s desperation pass on the final play was called a touchdown reception for Golden Tate by the replacement officials. A few days later, the lockout of the regular officials ended. “This game won’t be about the past,” he said. “It will be about the 2014 Green Bay Packers.” It’s the third straight season the Packers have traveled to face the defending Super Bowl champions.
“It’s a tremendous opportunity for our football team,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “We have experience playing in the kickoff opener three years ago, and we will draw on that. Obviously, being the visiting team this time presents new challenges. It will help sharpen our focus even more during training camp and the preseason.” That Thursday game is the first of four primetime games on opening weekend. Also at night will be a Sunday matchup of AFC champion Denver and Peyton Manning hosting his former team, Indianapolis; and a Monday night doubleheader with the New York Giants at Detroit, followed by San Diego at Arizona. The NFL will play three games in London: Dolphins-Raiders on Sept. 28; Lions-Falcons on Oct. 26; and Cowboys-Jaguars on Nov. 9. The Detroit-Atlanta game will kick off at 7:30 a.m. MT

SPORTS PREP ROUNDUP
Drake new Pecos girls basketball coach The New Mexican
If Ron Drake has a hard time doing anything, it’s staying off the basketball court. After stepping down as the head girls basketball coach at Pojoaque Valley on March 28, Drake officially accepted the girls head coaching position at Pecos on Wednesday. The job opened when Leroy Barela stepped down in March. “It seems like a good fit,” Drake said. “They seem to like their basketball there. There’s a good fan base and a lot of support. I can’t wait to get back to the court.” After starting his career at Santa Fe High in 1994, Drake has spent 20 years coaching basketball in Northern New Mexico. Before taking the job at Pojoaque two years ago, he had coaching stints at Española Valley and St. Michael’s, and it was important to him to stay in the region. Sixty-one miles and just a little more than an hour from his home in Sandia Park, Pecos is a shorter commute than Pojoaque. “I’m happy to stay in the North,” Drake said. “After 20 years here, I have a good
rapport with the media and with the officials.” Drake went 29-29 in two seasons with the Elkettes and lost in the first round of the Class AAA tournament this year. He inherits a Pecos team that finished 8-19 this year. SOFTBALL LOS ALAMOS 3, SANTA FE HIGH 1 All four runs in a crucial District 2AAAA game at Santa Fe High were scored in the final two innings. Los Alamos’ Emilee Jones hit a two-run home run in the top of the sixth to give the Lady Hilltoppers (11-12 overall, 5-4 2AAAA) a 2-0 lead. In the next at-bat, Taylor Jaramillo hit a solo blast. Alayna Martinez batted in Jackie Martinez in the next inning to put Santa Fe High (13-6, 6-3) on the board, but that was one of only two hits for the Demonettes. “This was a must-win game for us,” Los Alamos head coach Roger Anaya said. “Beating Santa Fe High was big because now we have the tie-breaker.” The Demonettes are still ahead in the
district standings, but head coach Keith Richards believes this loss really sets them back. “If we would have got the ‘W’ tonight, we would have got a spot in the state tourney,” he said. SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 10, LAGUNA-ACOMA 4 SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 11, LAGUNA-ACOMA 1 (FIVE INNINGS) After being stranded near La Bajada in a broken-down bus for about an hour, the Lady Braves still made it to a nondistrict doubleheader in Laguna-Acoma and swept the Lady Hawks. Senior pitcher Chastity Sam had 18 strikeouts in the first game and gave up only six hits in two complete games for SFIS (9-12), but head coach Leroy Valencia was more encouraged by the play of freshmen Alyssa Valencia and Alexis Quam. Alyssa Valencia went 2-for-4 at the plate in the first game and 2-for-3 in the second while Quam went 2-for-2 in Game 2. “They’re really picking it up,” Leroy Valencia said. “They’re playing with a lot of speed, and I’m very encouraged for the future.”
Wrigley: Stadium renovations are planned Continued from Page B-1 is on hold because the Ricketts family wants assurances that it won’t be sued over obstructed views. “You can’t ask a team to be competitive and you can’t ask people to do things and then tie their hands and their legs,” baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said. “It’s just wrong. Somebody has to say it so I’m happy to say it.” The rooftop owners, who charge fans to sit in bleachers atop their buildings, have a contract under which they share 17 percent of their revenues with the Cubs. The Tribune Co., the previous owner, signed the deal and “this ownership didn’t,” Selig said. He said the treatment the current owners — the Ricketts family — has received is “beyond unfair” and that he’ll do everything he “possibly can” to help them. He also said the Rickettses have not approached him about moving, that they’re committed
to renovating Wrigley and staying there. “They know the right thing to do for this franchise and this sport is to preserve this, just like the Red Sox preserved Fenway,” said Selig, who made his first trip to the ballpark in May 1944. Assuming they eventually go ahead with the renovations, it’ll be up to the Ricketts family to preserve that charm while bringing the stadium into the 21st century. Wednesday was a day to turn back the clock, a day to celebrate the century that was at the neighborhood park on Chicago’s North Side. Ushers wore party hats, and fans received birthday cupcakes and throwback jerseys. There was a replica Wrigley Field cake from Carlo’s Bakery, setting of the hit TLC show Cake Boss, just outside the ballpark. On his way in from suburban Glen Ellyn, Illinois, Williams thought about all the events besides baseball games that have taken place at Wrigley
Field over the years. The ballpark has hosted everything from boxing to soccer to pro wrestling to the circus to the rodeo to concerts to a Chicago Blackhawks game. There was even this: On back-to-back weekends in January 1944, ski jumpers leapt from scaffolding covered in snow and ice and landed behind second base. Wrigley Field, it seems, has seen everything but a World Series championship. The Cubs haven’t won one since 1908 — eight years before they started playing at what was then known as Weeghman Park. Of course, the Bears celebrated a few at Wrigley. They won NFL championship games there in 1933, 1941, 1943 and 1963 before they moved to Soldier Field in 1971. Williams recalled watching the Bears at Wrigley, back when Sayers and Butkus and Mike Ditka were playing and when George Halas was running the club. Butkus had a few good stories, too.
He mentioned the stench one time in the locker room, one he thought was coming from Doug Bufone’s “ratty” gym shoes. Bufone insisted the smell wasn’t coming from the shoes. Butkus didn’t believe him at first. Then, he said, they were putting something on top of a locker when a tile fell and out plopped — you guessed it — a dead rat. “I said, ‘Oh, there it is,’ ” Butkus said. To Butkus, a South Side product who starred at Illinois and his hometown team, playing at Wrigley meant he’d made it — not because of his Chicago ties, but because of the stadium itself. “Pros aren’t supposed to play where everything is perfect,” he said. Dawson agreed. “The ballpark itself, there’s just something about it,” he said. “The intricate angles. You came out and you walked around and looked around, and you just said, ‘Wow.’ ”

Saturday
Heat: Blazers’ Aldridge scores 43 points Continued from Page B-1 through the fourth, and after blowing a big first-half lead, it appeared as though the Heat finally had some breathing room. A few minutes later, it looked a whole lot different. Walker, Kidd-Gilchrist and DouglasRoberts combined for all the damage in a 10-0 run, getting the Bobcats within 91-87. But Bosh hit a jumper to stop Miami’s scoreless drought, the Heat followed that with a stop, and Bosh struck again on the ensuing possession with a drive that pushed the Heat’s lead back to eight with 3:36 remaining. With that, it was Charlotte’s turn — five straight points, with Jefferson scoring with 1:42 left to make it 97-94. And Douglas-Roberts had a chance to tie it with 1:09 left, but his 3-pointer bounced off the rim. After a free throw by James, Walker hit a 3 with 11.9 seconds left to get Charlotte within one. But James swished a pair of free throws moments later, Wade came up with the steal, and Miami escaped. Miami led 57-47 at the half, and the Bobcats — who missed 17 of their first 22 shots — were fortunate not to be in bigger trouble. Jefferson was obviously laboring in the early going and missed seven of his first
eight shots, part of the reason why the Heat were able to run out to a 36-21 lead with 9:50 left in the half. Chalmers — whose availability was in doubt until about an hour before game time because of a bruised shin — scored 11 of those points, and the Heat seemed to be rolling. Charlotte thought otherwise. A 14-2 run got the Bobcats right back into it, with Jefferson getting consecutive baskets and Kidd-Gilchrist scoring seven points to help the Bobcats close the gap to 38-35. But James Jones, who came up big off the bench for Miami in Game 1, hit a 3-pointer to stop the run and the Heat’s lead was quickly back to 16, before late 3’s by Gary Neal and Walker got Charlotte within 10 again. Things tightened more in the third. The Heat led by as much as 11 during the period, before Charlotte got within four twice. Miami led 79-72 entering the fourth. TRAIL BLAZERS 112, ROCKETS 105 In Houston, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 43 points, and Damian Lillard made six free throws down the stretch to give Portland a win over Houston and a 2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series. James Harden knocked down a 3-pointer with about 30 seconds left to get the Rockets within three. Lillard made two free throws before Harden fouled out about 10 seconds later. Mo Williams and Lillard
both made a pair of free throws after that to secure the win. Aldridge became the first player with consecutive 40-point games in the playoffs since LeBron James did it in May of 2009 after scoring a career-high and franchise playoff-record 46 in an overtime win in Game 1. Dwight Howard was unstoppable early and scored 25 points in the first half, but managed just seven in the second half. MAVERICKS 113, SPURS 92 In San Antonio, Texas, Monta Ellis scored 21 points, and Dallas rolled to a victory over the Spurs, snapping a 10-game skid against San Antonio and evening their first-round series at a game apiece. Shawn Marion scored 20 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 16, Devin Harris had 18 and Jose Calderon 12 for the Mavericks, which never trailed after the opening minutes of the second quarter. Manu Ginobili had 27 points, Tony Parker added 12 and Tim Duncan 11 for the Spurs. Dallas didn’t relent in Game 2 after blowing a 10-point lead in the final eight minutes of the series opener. San Antonio’s ineptness had as much to do with tying the series, however. The Spurs averaged 14.4 turnovers during the regular season, but had 15 with 3 minutes left in the first half. They finished with 22 turnovers, which resulted in 33 points for the Mavericks.

Resign: Nelms praises the coaches Continued from Page B-1
NFL: Super Bowl rematch set for Sept. 21 Continued from Page B-1 in an experiment to test the NFL’s audience draw on a Sunday morning. A Saturday doubleheader in Week 16 has San Diego at San Francisco and Philadelphia at Washington. For the first time, games in Weeks 5 through 10 can be flexed from Sunday afternoon to night, with a limit of two. Beginning with Week 11, a Sunday game can be moved to prime time each week. Also, a
select number of Sunday afternoon games are being “crossflexed,” moving between CBS and Fox to potentially draw more viewers. The Thanksgiving tripleheader features three strong division rivalries: Chicago at Detroit, Philadelphia at Dallas, and Seattle at San Francisco, a rematch of the memorable NFC title game last January. That game will be played in 49ers’ new stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., which opens in Week 2 when they host Chi-
cago in a Sunday night match. Looking for the latest installment of Manning vs. Tom Brady? The Patriots host it on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 2. And for those looking for the rematch of the Super Bowl, Seattle’s 43-8 rout of Denver, it’s on Sept. 21 at Seattle. Denver opens the season against three 2013 playoff teams: Indianapolis and Kansas City at home, then at the Seahawks. “I think when you look at it, we have to start fast,” Broncos general manager John Elway
said. “We knew it was going to be a tough schedule playing the NFC West, and when we finish first in our division like we have the past three years, it is always going to be a tough schedule with a lot of good football teams on it.” Bye weeks begin in Week 4 when Arizona, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle and St. Louis are off. They end in Week 12 when Carolina and Pittsburgh are idle. The season ends Dec. 28 with all divisional games.
Hilltoppers have combined for nine state boys and girls team titles since 2007, including sweeping both trophies for the last three years. The boys program produced four individual champions, including Nick Hill and Colin Hemez the past two falls. The track and field program produced five state titles under Nelms, with four in a row coming on the girls side from 2009-2012. Los Alamos has consistently produced top teams across several sports, including a girls tennis program that won the state championship in 2013 and a baseball program that is on the cusp of winning a sixth straight District 2AAAA title. Nelms, though, said the coaches at the school care much more than just about championships or wins and losses. “It’s about life and things after high school,” Nelms said. “That is something that struck me about out coaching staffs. That is hard to find.” Nelms also oversaw improvements to athletic facilities during her tenure. FieldTurf was laid on Sullivan Field, and a new track was installed as well. The same things were done at the middle school, and Griffith Gymnasium went through a remodel.

Pineda tossed for tar; BoSox beat Yanks Kane leads Blackhawks
BOSTON — Michael Pineda was ejected for using pine tar less than two weeks after appearing to get away with using a foreign substance in another Red Sox 5 game against Boston, and the Red Sox beat Yankees 1 the New York Yankees 5-1 Wednesday night. The right-hander was thrown out in the second inning when plate umpire Gerry Davis found the substance on the right side of Pineda’s neck after Red Sox manager John Farrell asked him to check. Pineda walked from the mound without protest. Both Pineda and Davis said it was pine tar. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Pineda and the organization were “embarrassed.” MARINERS 5, ASTROS 3 In Seattle, Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth, and the Mariners rallied to snap an eight-game losing streak. Seager homered for his second straight at-bat after being mired in a slump for most of the season. Seager hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Jarred Cosart, then added the winning shot on the first pitch from Josh Fields (0-1) in the ninth. The five RBIs were a career high. RANGERS 3, ATHLETICS 0 In Oakland, Calif., Martin Perez (4-0) pitched a three-hitter for his second consecutive shutout to extend his scoreless innings streak to 26, helping Texas complete a three-game sweep. Donnie Murphy homered and Michael Choice scored one run and drove in another for the Rangers, who moved a half-game ahead of Oakland in first place in the AL West with their first sweep of the A’s since August 2011. Sonny Gray (3-1) allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings. He had won six straight regular-season decisions dating to September.

CHICAGO — Patrick Kane scored his second goal of the game at 11:17 of overtime, and the ChiBlackhawks 4 cago Blackhawks Blues 3 beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Wednesday night to even their firstround playoff series at two games apiece. Kane carried the puck down the left side as teammates Ben Smith and Brandon Saad rushed toward the net, and beat Ryan Miller with a wellplaced wrist shot for his 32nd career postseason goal. Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell also scored for defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago, which blew a 2-0 secondperiod lead. Jonathan Toews had two assists and Corey Crawford made 30 saves. Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night in St. Louis.

career slam that turned around the game. Detroit starter Drew Smyly allowed two runs in six innings, but Evan Reed (0-1) gave up two singles and a walk, and Ian Krol allowed the home run to Semien. Andre Rienzo (1-0) gave up four runs in the fourth inning, but kept the Tigers quiet otherwise in his first start this season. He allowed five hits and two walks in 6⅓ innings, striking out three. INDIANS 5, ROYALS 3 In Cleveland, Jason Kipnis drove in Nick Swisher with a two-out double in the seventh inning, sending the Indians past Kansas City. Kipnis ripped his double off Kelvin Herrera (0-1) into the gap in right-center, deep enough to easily score Swisher, who reached on a two-out single. The Indians tacked on an insurance run in the eighth on pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall’s bloop RBI single.
BLUE JACKETS 4, PENGUINS 3 In Columbus, Ohio, Brandon Dubinsky scored with 22.5 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, and Nick Foligno’s wrist shot just inside the blue line 2:49 into the extra session gave the Blue Jackets a victory over Pittsburgh.
ORIOLES 10, BLUE JAYS 8 In Toronto, Nelson Cruz hit two of Baltimore’s season-high four home runs and Chris Davis and Matt Wieters also connected for the Orioles. Cruz hit a solo homer off Dustin McGowan in the third and a grand slam off Todd Redmond (0-2) in the fifth, giving him six homers this season and 11 career multihomer games. The slam was his seventh. TWINS 6, RAYS 4 (12 INNINGS) In St. Petersburg, Fla., Chris Colabello drove in four runs, and two of them came on a 12th-inning single that lifted Minnesota to a victory over Tampa Bay. Colabello’s game-winning hit came off Josh Lueke (0-1) after hits by Joe Mauer and Trevor Plouffe. Casey Fien (1-0) got the win and Glen Perkins pitched the 12th inning for his fourth save.
Columbus overcame a 3-0 deficit for their first home playoff victory in the franchise’s 13 seasons, sending the series back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 on Saturday night tied 2-2. Craig Adams, Chris Kunitz, James Neal scored in a 5:01 span in the first period to stake the Penguins to a 3-0 lead. But Ryan Johansen and Dubinsky each had a goal and an assist and Boone Jenner also scored for Columbus, making only its second postseason trip. STARS 4, DUCKS 2 In Dallas, Cody Eakin and Alex Goligoski scored 1:22 apart on the Stars’ first two shots in the third period, and Dallas beat top-seeded Anaheim in Game 4 to tie the series 2-2. Game 5 is Friday night in Anaheim, and Game 6 is Sunday in Dallas. Even without captain Ryan Getzlaf, a surprise late scratch with an upper-body injury, and healthy scratch Teemu Selane, the Ducks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals by Bryan Allen and Patrick Maroon. Dallas captain Jaime Benn scored off a faceoff only 27 seconds into the second period, his third goal in the series. Vernon Fiddler tied it at 6:33 of the second.

CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs marked Wrigley Field’s 100th birthday in dramatic fashion D’backs 7 Wednesday, Cubs 5 allowing the Arizona Diamondbacks to rally for five runs in the ninth inning and a 7-5 victory. After an error by shortstop Starlin Castro, Martin Prado hit a two-run single off Pedro Strop (0-2), Miguel Montero had a tying single against James Russell and Aaron Hill followed with a two-run triple off Justin Grimm. Trevor Cahill (1-3) pitched two scoreless innings for Arizona, which ended a four-game losing streak, and Addison Reed got his fourth save. The game drew 32,323 — about 9,000 under capacity. BRAVES 3, MARLINS 1 In Atlanta, pinch-hitter Evan Gattis broke an eighth-inning tie with a two-run double off A.J. Ramos, as the Braves took two
of three from Miami and won for the ninth time in 12 games overall. The Marlins are 1-8 on the road. Braves pitchers struck out 16, giving them 41 strikeouts and five walks — one intentional — in the three-game series. Miami pitchers struck out 37 and walked nine. David Carpenter (1-0) got the final out of the eighth, and Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save. Mike Dunn (1-3) was the loser. GIANTS 12, ROCKIES 10 In Denver, Hector Sanchez hit two of San Francisco’s six homers, including a grand slam in the 11th off Chad Bettis (0-1). Michael Morse also hit two homers — a solo shot in the second and a three-run homer the following inning — as two Giants hit multiple homers in the same game for the first time since May 25, 2005. Brandon Hicks and Brandon Belt also went deep as the Giants rallied from a 5-1, second-inning deficit. METS 3, CARDINALS 2 In New York, Lucas Duda hit a long home run, and the Mets
threw out the potential tying run at the plate in the ninth inning to hold off St. Louis. Jonathon Niese earned his first win of the season, and shortstop Ruben Tejada cut down Matt Carpenter for the second out of the ninth on a strong relay from center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny challenged the call, which was upheld following a replay review. BREWERS 5, PADRES 2 In Milwaukee, Jean Segura hit a three-run homer, and the Brewers broke out of an offensive slumber at home to support Kyle Lohse. Segura homered for a 4-1 lead in the second. Khris Davis added a solo shot for the Brewers, who have won five of six and are a big league-best 16-6. Lohse (4-1) allowed five hits and no walks in seven innings. The Brewers had nine hits at Miller Park, where the team had been averaging just two runs and six hits entering the night. REDS 5, PIRATES 2 In Pittsburgh, Alfredo Simon
pitched into the seventh inning despite erratic control, and Jay Bruce drove in a run for a fifth consecutive game to lead Cincinnati. Simon (3-1) worked 6⅔ innings and allowed two runs on four hits and five walks while striking out four. He has pitched at least six innings in each of his four starts this season as a replacement for the injured Mat Latos. Simon pitched exclusively in relief the previous two years.

MESA, Ariz. — Michael Phelps is making a comeback after nearly two years out of the pool for the simplest of reasons: He missed the sport that has been his entire life. The 22-time Olympic medalist tried golf and high-stakes poker in a quest to satisfy his competitive drives. He found nothing compared to pulling on a suit and diving in. “Looking at a black line for hours on end, I don’t know what made me do it,” he said Wednesday, “but I’m having fun.” Having shed the 30 pounds he piled on since retiring after the 2012 London Olympics, Phelps will resume his career starting Thursday at the Arena Grand Prix. He will swim the 100-meter butterfly, an event in which he holds the world record. He dropped his plans to compete in the 100 freestyle the same day. “I’m doing this because I want to,” he told a gaggle of reporters and TV cameras gathered under a tent behind the pool. “Nobody is forcing me to do this or that.” Phelps insists he has few expectations beyond regaining his feel for racing, something he hasn’t done since ending his career with a gold medal in the 400 medley relay in London. “Just being able to get back into that mentality of competition, that’s one thing I really loved the most about it when I was really competing in 2012 and throughout my career,” he said.

The intense pressure that accompanied Phelps every time he stepped on the deck during the height of his career has dissipated. He appeared relaxed, smiling and joking with longtime coach and friend Bob Bowman at his side. “Going into 2012 it was hard, there were a lot of ups and downs, and it was very challenging at times to get motivated,” Phelps said. Not this time. Phelps resumed training last fall at North Baltimore Aquatic Club in his hometown,
spurred on by a younger group of swimmers that includes Olympian Yannick Agnel of France. Phelps turns 29 in June. “I really am the grandfather of the group, that’s the worst part about it,” he said. Bowman and Phelps frequently clashed during his career, with Phelps rebelling against his coach’s hardnosed style. “He’s much happier doing the training,” Bowman said. “When he first came back he was so out of shape.” “Easy,” Phelps scolded playfully. “Sugarcoat it at least.” At his heaviest, Phelps weighed 225 pounds. He competed at 187 in London, and last week was down to 194. “It took a while to get to a point where OK, he could do this in public,” Bowman said. The swimmer who owns a record 18 Olympic gold medals, including the eight he swept at the 2008 Beijing Games, returns without a suit sponsor. His deal with longtime sponsor Speedo ended last year. Phelps wore an Arena suit during practice Wednesday. “I’m considered a free agent,” he said. Phelps was noncommittal about whether his comeback would lead to swimming in the 2016 Rio Olympics, although he admitted that if he wants to compete at the highest level, he has to be ready by this summer. “I am looking forward to wherever this road takes me,” he said, “and I guess the journey will start tomorrow.”

Ed Strang climbs at Diablo Canyon outside of Los Alamos in February 2013. Strang prefers bouldering, which is climbing a surface without a rope and then jumping off and landing on a crash pad.

right things,” he said. “Everybody my age who started climbing taught it to themselves. If they made bad decisions, they’re not around. It used to be dangerous, but it’s gotten safe now.” If anyone needed proof that climbing is safe, Strang is still an active climber at an age where professional athletes have called it quits for at least 10 years. Strang said it is typical for a climber to peak in his early 30s, but it’s still something you can do well into old age. “It’s a really good, healthy activity, and you do it for a long time at a high level,” Strang said. “Climbing is soft on the body. You can do it as a kid and you can excel at it, and when you get older, you can still excel at it. There are good climbers in their 50s, 60s and 70s.” It may be safer than other sports, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have brushes with death. Ed Strang, Rich’s 41-year-old brother, is also an avid climber with almost 20 years under his belt. Like Rich, he got his start by climbing boulders near their parents’ house in Long Island when he was in high school. He spent a few years as a professional climber in his early 20s and made a living doing competitions and collecting endorsements. Ed’s most severe injuries were ruptured tendons in his fingers, but he has fallen 40 feet or more several times after grabbing a loose rock. Luckily, the rope stopped him from hitting the ground. “It’s exciting,” Ed Strang said. “You think you’re going to die, but the rope always catches you. I guess I’ve been pretty lucky. It could have been a lot worse.” But using ropes isn’t really Ed’s thing. He likes to boulder, which

is climbing a surface usually no higher than 30 or 40 feet without a rope then jumping off and landing on a crash pad. Ed said it is common for a large group of people to go bouldering. More people means more crash pads, which means you can climb higher and push yourself further. “Bouldering has turned into a social thing where a lot of people go out,” Ed Strang said. “It’s sort of like the gym.” Ed also works at Santa Fe Climbing Center as an instructor. He said a climbing gym is a good place to learn the ropes, but there are several quality locations in New Mexico, the majority of which are in the Los Alamos area. If you’re trying to go out there to give it a try, make sure you bring a buddy. “It’s dangerous to go out on your own,” Ed Strang said. “If you fall and get hurt, you’re on your own. You’re usually at places that aren’t that close to a road or civilization.” If you would like to avoid the danger altogether, a climbing gym is probably the best bet. “The gym atmosphere is a little safer,” Rich Strang said. “It’s almost safer than walking in the street. You don’t have to worry about wild animals and things like that.” Both Ed and Rich had turned climbing into a lifelong passion. Ed even has a climbing facility at his home. Despite all the injuries and brushes with death, nothing will keep the two brothers from scaling rocks. “It’s this never-ending challenge,” Ed Strang said. “No matter how good you get at it, there’s always something harder out there to do. It’s something that I need in life.”

irds need water every day. Like all living things, water is essential to survival. As we settle into our fourth year of drought, I wonder how animals, including birds, are making it. Where are they finding adequate water and food? Less water means less natural food too: fewer insects, fewer berries, fewer everything. It’s no news to most of you that this drought and changing climate is not good for our natural world. According to The Birder’s Handbook by Paul Ehrlich, birds lose water to their environment in several ways, including evaporation from the moist lining of their lungs as they breathe. Although they lack specialized sweat glands, birds also lose water through the skin. Additionally, in hot, dry conditions, water loss is high, as birds use evaporation to cool themselves. Some water is lost in excretions, but birds in arid environments are able to pass waste using very little water. Most birds make up for water loss by drinking more water — that is, if they can find it. You’ll see most birds at your birdbath dipping their bills into the water and then tipping their heads back, allowing the water to drain down their throats. Many small birds drink excess water from leaves and grasses, although in our climate lately, dew is a rare commodity. Birds also “manufacture” water the same as humans do by absorbing it from food sources through a process called cellular respiration. Almost all food has some water content. Insects and berries are loaded with moisture, some plants are water rich, and even dry birdseed contains water. Hummingbirds don’t have the same water scarcity problem that other birds do. They drink so much nectar (natural from flowers and sugar water from feeders), that they have an abundance of water in their systems and urinate much more than the average bird. You’ll still see hummers at your bath sometimes, especially if you have moving water, but their need to drink water is not nearly as great as our other birds. Despite a bird’s ability to pull water from many food types, other sources of water are essential for survival over the long term. Providing birdbaths for your birds will not only help them find water to drink, but regular bathing helps birds keep up with feather maintenance. Bathing, and the preening that often follows, helps keep feathers tuned up for better flight and adequate insulation. Preening helps to distribute oil from the “preen gland,” which is located near the rump. Careful oiling of feathers keeps them flexible and waterproof and discourages parasites and bacteria. In the winter, I like to say that a clean bird is a warm bird, but this time of year, it’s true to say that a clean bird is a healthier bird. Birdbaths should be no more than 1½ inches deep. If yours is deeper, place a large rock in the center to raise the floor. Keep your birdbath filled with fresh water. Sometimes crows and jays leave some grizzly leftovers, so be sure to fill and freshen up your baths every day or two. In addition to my main birdbath, I have several large plastic dishes around my yard so that birds have plenty of options. Keeping a rock in a plastic dish will make a nice spot for birds to perch but will also keep your dish from blowing away on windy spring days. Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe, and she loves to hear your bird stories.

mileage the old-fashioned way (actually recording the amount of gas I put in the car and dividing by the number of miles I’ve driven), I come up with a figure about 3-4 mpg lower than what the dashboard claims. So, does the dashboard lie? What about these real-time mileage readouts? Are they any use? Can I trust my Prius? Thanks. -- Pat RAY: Well, of course you’ve become obsessed with gas mileage after buying a Prius, Pat. You’ve got Prius Syndrome. TOM: Symptoms include focusing on your instant fuel-economy reading on the dashboard when you should be watching the road, and feathering the gas pedal when starting o≠ from a tra∞c light, trying to keep the car in electric mode as long as possible, while ignoring the irate drivers behind you who want to know why it’s taking you 25
seconds to get to 15 mph. RAY: The dashboard readouts actually are pretty good, Pat. Better than what you can do yourself. TOM: One of the auto testers from Consumer Reports told us that, while they don’t rely on them for published results, they’ve found that the dashboard mileage readings from most manufacturers were accurate to within 1 mile per gallon. Not all of them are that good -- and some are o≠ by quite a bit -- but most of them are right on the money. RAY: The better ones work by splicing a fuel-flow meter into the fuel line, which measures precisely how much fuel is actually going into the cylinders. So if the speedometer is accurate (which is not always the case), you can get a very accurate reading that way. TOM: And it turns out that’s much more accurate than the do-it-yourself

method. That’s because in reality, it’s very di∞cult (unless you’re Consumer Reports, with beakers and syringes) to fill the tank to the exact same place each time you fill up.
RAY: How do you know your tank is “full”? When the pump clicks o≠. Or when gas spills all over your Lucky Brand jeans. That’s a very inaccuraestimate, in reality. And the margin of error only increases when you have a small gas tank, like you have in the Prius.
TOM: So I’d trust the Prius’ computer, Pat. And whatever you’re getting, remember that it’s plenty, compared with what the rest of us jamokes get ... unless you hit a tree while watching the mileage readout on the dashboard. Then your mileage will drop significantly! So please drive safely.
