They both grew up in Santa Fe. Both attended Ortiz Middle School, though years apart.

They met sometime earlier this year and professed their love for each other on Facebook. “Benny, that’s who I love,” she posted in July, using his nickname. He replied that she was his whole world.

On Saturday morning, the teens — Anamarie Estrella Ojeda and Venancio A. Cisneros — were found shot to death inside a car on a dirt road south of Santa Fe. Police suspect their deaths were a double homicide and are piecing together what happened.

Family and friends are stunned.

“Why would you take my daughter? She was still a baby,” said Raul Ojeda, Anamarie’s father, in an interview with KOAT-TV. “She didn’t have time to grow.”

anta Fe County property owners might be in for a scare when they receive their property tax bills later this week.

County Treasurer Patrick “Pat” Varela said most property owners are likely to see an increase as a result of a tax hike the Santa Fe school board approved in February.

The new 1.5 mill tax, which will generate about $11 million a year for five years, affects parcels within the city’s public schools district.

The dollar increase on a home with a taxable value of $100,000 is about $153 a year. It is about $255 for a home with a taxable value of $166,667.

The county sets its tax value for residential property at one-third of the assessed value.

The assessed value is supposed to be within 10 percent of the market sales price, although thousands of parcels are under a state law that limits assessment increases so they are actually on the tax rolls at less.

As the tax collector, Varela said he’s already hearing complaints. While property tax bills haven’t gone out, Varela predicted an increase in a recent write-up in the ’Round the Roundhouse state employees’ newspaper.

Varela said he expects a flood of phone calls the first week of November. He said people feel “blindsided” by the school board’s decision to approve the increase without asking voters in an election.

A lawsuit filed Monday by organizations that advocate for the poor in New Mexico aims to strike down a new rule that requires some adults to work in order to receive food assistance.

The lawsuit, filed in state District Court in Santa Fe by the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty and the Southwest Organizing Project on behalf of people who would be affected by the rule change, takes aim at the process Sidonie Squier, Gov. Susana Martinez’s Cabinet secretary for human services, followed to enact the change.

The suit alleges the Human Services Department failed to disclose some details of the work requirement before accepting public input on it and has issued contradictory statements about how food benefit recipients can meet the new standards, making it difficult for them to comply.

“The regulations themselves are contradictory, in places nonsensical, and thus, impossible to follow, which will result in the loss of food assistance for tens of thousands of adults and a reduction in food assistance for other household members, including many children in New Mexico,” the civil complaint states.

Governors, Army go own way on Ebola quarantines CDC recommends new restrictions in push to eliminate patchwork of policies

By David Porter and Colleen Barry The Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended new restrictions for people at highest risk for coming down with the virus, and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk. But some state governors and even an Army commander have gone beyond that guidance.

As contradictory state policies proliferate in response to

Ebola fears, the CDC’s recommendations mark an effort to create a national standard, one that would protect public health without discouraging people from helping fight its spread overseas.

The CDC now says even if they have no symptoms and are not considered contagious, people should stay away from commercial transportation or public gatherings if they have been in direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone sick with Ebola — say, by touching their fluids without protective gear, or by suffering an injury from a contaminated needle.

Absent that direct contact, simply caring for Ebola patients or traveling in West Africa doesn’t warrant quarantine, the public health agency said.

But quarantines are determined state by state in the U.S., and the CDC is only empowered to issue guidelines. And even within the federal government, authorities were improvising Monday: a U.S. Army commander in Italy said he and all his troops returning from Liberia would remain in isolation for 21 days, even though he feels they face no risk and show no symptoms.

A nurse who volunteered with Doctors Without Borders in Africa was released after being forced to spend her weekend in a tent in New Jersey upon her return, despite showing no symptoms other than an elevated temperature she blamed on “inhumane” treatment at Newark International Airport.

Report reveals wider tracking of mail in U.S.

By Ron Nixon The New York Times

WASHINGTON — In a rare public accounting of its mass surveillance program, the U.S. Postal Service reported that it approved nearly 50,000 requests last year from law enforcement agencies and its own internal inspection unit to secretly monitor the mail of ordinary Americans for use in criminal and national security investigations.

The number of requests, contained in a littlenoticed 2014 audit of the surveillance program by the Postal Service’s inspector general, shows that the surveillance program is more extensive than previously disclosed and that oversight protecting Americans from potential abuses is lax.

The audit found that in many cases the Postal Service approved requests to monitor an individual’s mail without adequately describing the reason or having proper written authorization.

In addition to raising privacy concerns, the audit questioned the efficiency and accuracy of the Postal Service in handling the requests.

Many requests were not processed in time, the audit said, and computer errors caused the same tracking number to be assigned to different

Shooting victim forgives gunman MARYSVILLE, Wash. — A victim of a shooting at a Washington state high school says he forgives the boy who did it — his cousin.

Fourteen-year-old Nate Hatch is recovering at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle from a gunshot wound to the jaw. Hatch wrote on his Twitter feed, “I love you and I forgive you jaylen rest in peace.”

Hatch is one of five students who were shot in the cafeteria of Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday

by Jaylen Fryberg, a popular student who invited his victims to lunch and shot them at their table before killing himself.

Two teen girls were killed in the shooting, one was critically injured, and two boys — both Fryberg’s cousins — also were injured.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark n a recent afternoon, Hampus Elofsson ended his 40-hour workweek at a Burger King and prepared for a movie and beer with friends. He had paid his rent and all his bills, stashed away some savings, yet still had money for nights out.

That is because he earns the equivalent of $20 an hour — the base wage for fast-food workers throughout Denmark and 2½ times what many fast-food workers earn in the United States.

“You can make a decent living here working in fast food,” said Elofsson, 24. “You don’t have to struggle to get by.”

With an eye to workers like Elofsson, some U.S. labor activists and liberal scholars are posing a provocative question: If Danish chains can pay $20 an hour, why can’t those in the United States pay the $15 an hour that many fast-food workers have been clamoring for?

“We see from Denmark that it’s possible to run a profitable fastfood business while paying workers these kinds of wages,” said John Schmitt, an economist at the Center for Economic Policy Research, a liberal think tank in Washington.

Many U.S. economists and business groups say the comparison is deeply flawed because of fundamental differences between Den-

mark and the United States, including Denmark’s high living costs and taxes, a generous social safety net that includes universal health care and a collective bargaining system in which employer associations and unions work together. The fast-food restaurants here are also less profitable than their U.S. counterparts.

“Trying to compare the business and labor practices in Denmark and the U.S. is like comparing apples to autos,” said Steve Caldeira, president of the International Franchise Association, a group based in Washington that promotes franchising and has many fast-food companies as members.

“Denmark is a small country” with a far higher cost of living, Caldeira said. “Unions dominate, and the employment system revolves around that fact.”

But as Denmark illustrates, companies have managed to adapt in countries that demand a living wage, and economists like Schmitt see it as a possible model.

Denmark has no minimum-wage law. But Elofsson’s $20 an hour is the lowest the fast-food industry can pay under an agreement between Denmark’s 3F union, the nation’s largest, and the Danish employers group Horesta, which includes Burger King, McDonald’s, Starbucks and other restaurant and hotel companies.

By contrast, fast-food wages in the United States are so low that half of the nation’s fast-food workers rely on some form of public assistance, a study from the University of California, Berkeley, found. U.S. fast-food workers earn an average of $8.90 an hour.

As a shift manager at a Burger King in Tampa, Fla., Anthony Moore earns $9 an hour, typically working 35 hours a week and taking home around $300 weekly.

“It’s very inadequate,” said Moore, 26, who supervises 10 workers. His rent is $600 a month, and he often falls behind on his lighting and water bills. A single father, he receives $164 a month in food stamps for his daughters, 5 and 2.

“Sometimes I ask, ‘Do I buy food or do I buy them clothes?’ ” Moore said. “If I made $20 an hour, I could actually live, instead of dreaming about living.”

Moore’s daughters receive health care through Medicaid, while he is uninsured because he cannot afford Burger King’s coverage, he said. “I skip the doctor,” he said, adding that he sometimes goes to work sick because “I can’t miss the money.”

Burger King declined to discuss wages or benefits, saying those decisions were made by its franchise operators. The company said that its “restaurants have provided an entry point into the work force for millions of Americans,” and that the Burger King McLamore Foundation gave some employees emergency financial assistance and college scholarships.

Schmitt, the economist, acknowledged that it would take some time for the U.S. fast-food industry to adjust to higher wages. “We would need to phase this in,” said Schmitt, who is co-editor of the book LowWage Work in the Wealthy World.

“We’ve created a low-road economy, and it’s going to take us some time to build up the speed to get onto the high road.”

In brief

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The global economy has slumped. Turmoil has gripped financial markets. And the U.S. job market, despite steady gains, still isn’t fully healthy.

Yet when the Federal Reserve meets this week, it is expected to complete a bond-buying program, which was intended to keep longterm interest rates low. And, to support the economy, it will likely reiterate it’s in no rush to raise its key short-term rate.

The economy the Fed will discuss has been strengthening, thanks to solid consumer and business spending, manufacturing growth and a surge in hiring that’s lowered the unemployment rate to a six-year low of 5.9 percent.

Still, global weakness poses a potential threat to U.S. growth. The housing industry is still struggling.

And Fed Chair Janet Yellen has stressed that while the unemployment rate is close to a normal level, other gauges of the job market remain a concern. Inflation remains so low it isn’t even reaching the Fed’s long-term target rate of 2 percent.

In the meantime, investors will remain on high alert for the first hint that rates are set to move higher.

Rob Ford’s four-year tenure as mayor of Canada’s largest city was marred by his drinking and crack cocaine use. He announced last month that he wouldn’t seek reelection as he battles a rare form of cancer. His brother, a city councilor, ran in his place.

Despite the cancer, Ford opted to seek the City Council seat from the Etobicoke district where he launched his political career. He won his old seat in a landslide.

Legacy lingers as Marines leave Afghanistan

Tuesday has LOCAL BUSINESS

City of Santa Fe

WASHINGTON — The Marines’ handover of Camp Leatherneck to the Afghans is more than a signal that America’s longest war is ending. It is a reminder that the Marines’ battlefield gains were tempered by losses: 378 killed, nearly 5,000 wounded.

Camp Leatherneck is the sprawling base in Afghanistan’s Helmand province from which the Marines surged against the Taliban in 2009.

The keys to Leatherneck were turned over to Afghan authorities Sunday in a ceremony that also marked the handover of Camp Bastion, an adjacent British-run airfield.

Helmand province was the epicenter of President Barack Obama’s surge against the Taliban. The Marines focused on it so completely that some dubbed the patch of desert “Marine-istan.” It was the fight the Marines itched for after they switched their attention from Iraq’s Anbar province, which by 2008 had grown so quiet that Marines complained of boredom.

“There aren’t a whole heck of a lot of bad guys there left to fight,” the Marine Corps commandant at the time, Gen. James T. Conway, said in August 2008 with an eye on getting a piece of the Afghan action.

After the Marines had turned the tide in Helmand, the man who succeeded Conway, Gen. James Amos, said in 2011 that it was time to begin handing over control to the Afghans, whose ability to handle the Taliban and unify their fractured country

would ultimately decide the outcome of the U.S. chapter of this war.

“We can’t stay in Afghanistan forever,” Amos said.

While there, the Marines took on the Taliban, mentored Afghan soldiers and executed a protect-the-population counterinsurgency strategy. They also suffered at the hands of Afghan allies who periodically turned their weapons on them in “greenon-blue” killings that peaked in 2012 but have since subsided.

The Marines point with pride to their successes in Helmand, where Afghan security forces now are in charge. But some question whether those gains will be sustained after the Marines are gone and the Taliban seek another comeback.

Just two years ago at the British-run Camp Bastion, adjacent to Leatherneck, the Taliban pulled off arguably their most stunning attack on a NATO base of the entire war: Fifteen insurgents breached the camp’s

security perimeter and, using grenades, machine guns and other light weapons, killed two Marines and destroyed or heavily damaged nine aircraft.

In all, about 76,000 Marines served in Afghanistan since 2001, mostly in Helmand, according to Marine Corps records.

The Marines are now departing as the U.S. prepares to complete its combat mission in December and transition to a NATO-organized follow-on mission, called Resolute Support, to train and advise Afghan forces. There are still a little over 21,000 American troops in Afghanistan, down from a 2010-2011 peak of 100,000.

The saga of Marines in southwestern Afghanistan began with the controversial decision to make Helmand the main focus of Obama’s initial surge of American troops in early 2009. Some believed it should have been the neighboring province of Kandahar, whose far bigger population seemed to make it of greater strategic importance.

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday that Israel would fast-track planning for 1,060 new apartments in populous Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, a move that appears calibrated to appeal to the maximum number of Israelis while causing the minimum damage to Israel internationally, according to Israeli analysts.

But as is often the case, Netanyahu’s decision prompted swift international condemnation at a time when Israel’s relations with Washington are already strained and risked further igniting Palestinian ire and tensions in Jerusalem. It was also unlikely to satisfy the right-wing political rivals it was intended to appease, the analysts said.

Right-wing ministers have been pressuring Netanyahu to speed construction in what most of the world considers illegal settlements in the West Bank. Naftali Bennett of the pro-settlement Jewish Home party had threatened to destabilize the government coalition, accusing Netanyahu of carrying out a quiet building freeze despite many announcements about the advancement of plans.

Unlike more far-flung settlements in the West Bank, building in East Jerusalem neighborhoods beyond the 1967 lines enjoys wide support among Israeli politicians and the public, given the broad consensus in the country that these are areas Israel is likely to keep under any permanent deal with the Palestinians. Analysts note that the parameters for a two-state solution outlined by President Bill Clinton in 2000 envisioned granting Israel sovereignty over Jewish areas in Jerusalem and the Palestinians sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods.

“Netanyahu apparently has coalition problems and thought let’s throw them a bone in Jerusalem, which is easier to explain in the world and to the United States,” said Yehuda Ben Meir, an expert at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University.

Washington said it was “deeply concerned” by the reports on Monday. “If Israel wants to live in a peaceful society, they need to take steps that will reduce tensions,” Jen Psaki, the State Department spokeswoman, said in a briefing.

“Moving forward with this sort of action would be incompatible with the pursuit of peace.”

Las Vegas, N.M., definitely isn’t a GOP stronghold in the state. But Republican Gov. Susana Martinez seemed to make herself at home during a recent public appearance on the Northern New Mexico town’s plaza.

It wasn’t a campaign stop — officially, anyway. Martinez was in town to announce $590,000 in co-operative marketing grants to communities and nonprofits involved in the state Tourism Department’s “New Mexico True” promotion.

On hand for the event was the Las Vegas mayor, Alfonso Ortiz, and a small crowd of people, many of whom appeared to be city employees. Ortiz, a Democrat who has appeared in Martinez campaign ads praising the governor, repeatedly has said he hasn’t actually endorsed Martinez. But, when introducing the governor that day, he said he hopes she continues serving in her

Like a Kennedy or a Roosevelt, Gary King might have been expected to enter politics.

His late father, Bruce King served 12 years as governor of New Mexico, longer than anyone. Before winning his first term as governor in 1970, Bruce King was speaker of the state House of Representatives. So when a young Gary King tagged along to watch his father work, he often went to the state Capitol.

Gary King, now 60 and the Democratic nominee for governor, regularly mentions his dad in speeches. Yet King, who has a doctorate in organic chemistry from the University of Colorado, says his first ambition was to be a scientist, not to follow his father into politics.

“This was probably influenced by watching Doctor George Fischbeck on educational TV,” King said.

Greg Pluemer, co-owner of Albuquerque-based Accurate Machine & Tool Co., credits the governor’s economic development incentives for his decision to expand in New Mexico rather than building a plant in Texas. CLYDE MUELLER/THE NEW MEXICAN

EDITOR’S NOTE

BY BRUCE KRASNOW THE NEW MEXICAN

In previewing the governor’s race this election, The New Mexican is doing something a little different. Instead of the usual political profiles, we are publishing brief biographical sketches of each of the two candidates, followed by a series of stories over the next week examining key issues that will confront not only the state’s chief executive but others entrusted with helping to guide state and national policy over the next four years. Today, we focus on the state’s struggling economy and how the two candidates say they would improve it. Monday, we look at education, followed by the environment, transparency, social issues, and health and welfare.

T

he numbers are hard to brag about. Since Gov. Susana Martinez assumed office Jan. 1, 2011 — after the recession was officially over — the state has added just 17,400 jobs, one of the slowest growth rates in the country. The high-paying manufacturing sector has shrunk 10 percent, and the state has lost 1,400 construction jobs.

As Martinez seeks a second term Nov. 4, Democrats see the economy as her biggest vulnerability. They seized on the recent loss of a new Tesla plant as evidence of the governor’s failure to bring jobs to the state. But even with a bevy of woeful indicators, Martinez continues to lead in both the polls and in fundraising over Gary King, the attorney general. Her supporters say that while the economy

Benefits: Department says claims are ‘baseless’ Continued from Page A-1 Three food-benefit recipients from Albuquerque who would be affected by the rule change are identified as plaintiffs in the legal action. They include a 31-year-old mother of children ages 7 and 12 whose only income is food assistance, a 19-year-old homeless man who received food benefits for the first time this month and a 42-year-old man who has been relying on the program since January.

“Our members demand that the Human Services Department at least make it clear what it intends to do so that we can comment on the new rules and inform struggling populations about what they’re up against,” said Javier Benavidez, executive director of the Southwest Organizing Project.

Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott dismissed the claims in the lawsuit as “baseless.”

“Our goal is to help more New Mexicans become self-sufficient, earn job training skills and find employment,” he said. “Our other public assistance programs have similar requirements, and it’s important to remember that if a person is looking for work and receiving unemployment insurance, they are already meeting the requirements.”

The lawsuit filed Monday is the latest in a long list of dust-ups between the Martinez administration and advocacy groups for the poor. Earlier this year, the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty prevailed over the governor’s administration in U.S. District Court when a judge ordered the Human Services Department to clear a backlog of thousands of applications for food and medical benefits that left some applicants to wait months without hearing whether they’d get help.

The state has since satisfied the court by showing it has eliminated the waiting list for those most desperate for food assistance, but the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty contends systemic problems with the benefit application process persist, leaving many poor New Mexicans hungry and in need of health care.

As the Human Services Department was in the process of addressing the benefit backlog to comply with the court order, Squier announced plans to revive the controversial work requirement, which had been temporarily suspended during the Great Recession.

Kennicott said the requirement’s hiatus was not intended to be permanent.

“These are Clinton-era welfare reform provisions that have been supported by Republicans and Democrats alike for decades,” he said.

But critics of restoring the work requirement, including plaintiffs in the new legal action, contend New Mexico’s mix of high unemployment and widespread poverty is incompatible with the plan. New Mexico fares better than only Mississippi in percentage of residents living in poverty, based on the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

About 1 in 5 New Mexico residents receives food benefits, according to Human Services Department statistics, and the work requirement could affect an estimated 80,000 people.

Despite overwhelming public testimony opposing the work requirement at a public hearing in August, the Human Services Department adopted it. The regulation is set to take effect Saturday in Santa Fe, Bernalillo, Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, Sandoval and Valencia counties.

The federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, provides prepaid benefit cards that enable recipients to buy food at grocery stores, farmers markets and other participating venues.

Beneficiaries qualify based on income. For instance, a household of three with an annual income of less than $19,800 is eligible. In New Mexico, SNAP beneficiaries receive an average monthly stipend of $128 per person, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Under the work requirement, ablebodied adult SNAP recipients without children must work 20 hours a week or spend an equal amount of time in job training or performing public service.

The new work requirement also expanded the population subject to the rule. Previously, it had applied to adults between the ages of 18 and 50.

Now, it affects those between 16 and 59 years old. Also subject to the new rule are parents or guardians of children age 6 and older, a group that had been exempt from the work requirement before it was suspended in 2009.

The suit seeks an injunction to stop the Human Services Department from implementing the rule.

Deaths: Girl was reported as a runaway on Sept. 11 Continued from Page A-1 the television station she last spoke to her only son on Friday, and he seemed happy.

But all was not happy between the young couple and their families.

Anamarie Ojeda’s family members say there was a drastic change in the young teen after she met Cisneros.

Once a fixture at family get-togethers, Anamarie Ojeda attended fewer and fewer beginning early this year, when she increasingly devoted what would turn out to be her final months alive with Venancio Cisneros, the man she joined in death.

“When she met this guy, she just stopped coming around, going to birthday parties, everything,” said Monique Ojeda, 23, of Albuquerque.

Cisneros was trouble, Monique Ojeda told The New Mexican. “He was in juvenile lockup. He would sneak her out and not bring her home. He would cuss at my grandma. He was a disrespectful little guy,” she said.

When Monique Ojeda last saw her cousin alive in June, she pulled her aside and made her low opinion of Cisneros known.

“I told her she needed to leave him,” Monique Ojeda said.

But Anamarie Ojeda was young and in love and instantly dismissed her older cousin’s advice.

“She just blew me off,” Monique Ojeda said.

Anamarie Ojeda went by Estrella Anamaria on Facebook. A year ago, her posts were those of a young girl on the verge of womanhood. She wanted to know if she was pretty, and her many friends tried to convince her that she was. She posted lots of selfies, a lovely girl who photographed well.

She posted pictures of a boyfriend a year ago, not Cisneros.

It isn’t clear when she met Cisneros, who used the name Benny Alarcon

on Facebook. He appeared to have dropped out after middle school but indicated on his page that he had earned his high school equivalency diploma.

But her family said that shortly after Ojeda met Cisneros she began running away from home.

Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman Celina Espinoza said Anamarie Ojeda last had been reported Sept. 11 as a runaway in the company of Cisneros. She was reported as a runaway “multiple times” before that, but Espinoza couldn’t confirm how many times, who had reported her missing or if she was with Cisneros each time.

Ojeda’s father told KOAT on Monday that he had been looking for his daughter since September.

The day she last was reported missing is the same day Cisneros was booked into the Santa Fe County jail and released a few hours later, according to court documents. He was booked on charges of failing to appear and resisting or evading an officer.

Cisneros had failed to appear in Municipal Court for a hearing on his April misdemeanor charge of possessing marijuana paraphernalia, according to court documents.

Cisneros also faced a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a separate arrest in Albuquerque in July following an altercation he had with Ojeda’s mother. No one was hurt, according to a police statement to KOAT. The circumstances around Cisneros and Ojeda’s deaths remain a mystery. It will be days before police have a preliminary autopsy report or information from the state crime lab where evidence was sent for analysis.

Ebola: Nurse released from quarantine in N.J. President Barack Obama has told his Ebola team that any measures involving health care workers should be crafted to avoid unnecessarily discouraging people from responding to the outbreak. That’s already happening, Doctors Without Borders said Monday: Some medical workers are reducing their time in the field to include potential quarantines afterward.

“The best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in Africa, and we need those health care workers, so we do not want to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncomfortable for them to even volunteer to go,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

But the governors of New York and New Jersey defended their policies as necessary precautions in dealing with a virus that already has killed nearly half the over 10,000 people infected this year in West Africa. Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams told The Associated Press that the decision to isolate returning troops was taken to ensure their family members’ comfort, even though none is showing symptoms, and he does not believe any soldier under his command is at risk.

it because people often parked in a nearby field to drink or smoke marijuana, but they were usually gone a few hours later.

But the car was still there Saturday morning, and when residents took a closer look, they saw blood inside the vehicle and called police. No one recognized the car or the couple inside it.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 8:58 a.m.

Saturday about “a vehicle and people possibly slumped over in the car,” said Capt. Adan Mendoza. “Our officers arrived just minutes later and secured the scene.”

Mendoza said deputies and emergency medical personnel deter-

mined the teens were dead. “It was also immediately apparent, due to the type of injuries, that they were deceased,” Mendoza said.

Deputies and state police gathered evidence outside the vehicle until a warrant could be obtained to search inside the vehicle.

Mendoza said the couple appeared to have been shot with a handgun, although he couldn’t confirm what caliber or type. No firearm was found in the vehicle.

Santa Fe Public Schools would not confirm which schools the teens had attended, but the district issued a statement about the tragedy. “On behalf of the Santa Fe Public Schools community, our hearts go out to the families,” said district spokeswoman Latifah Phillips.

Counseling services will be provided to students experiencing grief, Phillips said.

Monique Ojeda said her family is still reeling from the news that her cousin — the middle child among five, with younger siblings 5 and 8 years old — will never come home again. She said the family is in disbelief, even as they plan her cousin’s funeral.

Mirna Alarcon, Cisneros’ older sister, told KOAT her brother wasn’t perfect. But she said he was a good kid, a view shared by friends who knew him in middle school. “He had a long time to live. He wanted babies, too,” Alarcon said. “He said he wanted to get married.”

Ojeda’s family has established a fund where people can contribute toward her funeral expenses at www. giveforward.com/fundraiser/z196/ annamarie-estrella-ojeda.

Reporters Patrick Malone and Daniel J. Chacón contributed to this report.

Speaking by phone from a U.S. base in Vicenza, Italy, Williams said he and his soldiers will be living in isolation under controlled monitoring during the three weeks it takes to be sure Ebola hasn’t infected them. Williams returned to Italy Sunday with 10 soldiers with another 65 due back in two groups by Saturday.

It’s just “normal concern,” Williams said. “There was nothing elevated that triggered this increased posture.”

A senior defense official said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is expected to review the recommendations on Ebola, but has made no decision. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the Pentagon’s policy on isolating returning personnel has not been settled and implemented yet.

Also absent is any uniform response within the United States to the increasing number of people and medical volunteers returning from Ebola-stricken countries in Africa.

“The response to Ebola must not be guided primarily by panic in countries not overly affected by the epidemic,” said Sophie Delaunay, the U.S. director of Doctors Without Borders.

“What this office has been hearing is that the public should have had a voice in the matter by being able to vote on the funding, so at least they would be prepared for the increase if it would have been approved,” he said.

“I personally feel the school board should have taken necessary steps to educate the public on the debt they were planning to impose,” Varela added.

State law gives school districts the authority to increase property taxes for technology upgrades without a referendum. Earlier this year, a divided Santa Fe school board voted 3-2 to fund a five-year, $55 million plan for technology, computer and software upgrades by raising property taxes.

The plan must be approved annually in $11 million increments.

“We did this as an accountability measure,” school board President Steven Carrillo said.

Three board members are up for re-election in February, so the tax increase is expected to be a campaign issue.

Board member Glenn Wikle voted against the funding plan, saying the technology upgrades should be funded with existing spending, not tax increases. He said voters will be able to weigh in on the property tax during the school board election, as the district’s so-called Digital Learning Plan must be funded annually.

“It’s a democratic system, and you vote for school board members,” said Wikle, who is up for re-election but hasn’t decided whether to run again.

“It’s not taxation without representation.”

Carrillo, who also is up for reelection but hasn’t decided whether to run again, said the plan is a worthwhile investment.

“This is super important,” he said.

“When you have great schools, stateof-the-art schools in any school district in America, you increase property values and you increase economic development. If people look at more of the global picture in our community that

investing in our schools is investing in our real estate and it’s investing in our economy, people would become really supportive of making sure our kids have what they need.”

Deputy County Treasurer Eric Lujan said a better education system should be a top priority for every public official.

“However, I do believe that a referendum would have been the best avenue to go through to allow the public to weigh in on whether or not their property taxes should go up,” he said.

“I don’t know how much thought the board of education put into their decision, but our office is already feeling the ripple effect by way of complaints from taxpayers who feel that they were broadsided by this property tax increase.”

Carrillo said the board had “at least a dozen meetings” where it discussed the issue, adding that people tend not to show up to meetings and then get upset after decisions are made.

“I think it was Ben Franklin who said, ‘Decisions are made by those who show up,’ ” he said.

Carrillo said waiting to ask voters to approve a bond measure would’ve delayed the technology plan by two years, and the board “felt it was too great of a price for our students to pay.”

“I’m not exaggerating when I say [that at] some school sites, people couldn’t all send an email at the same time. It was very bad. We had never really made that concerted effort to update our technology in our district,” he said. “We were like the dinosaur.”

The school district also commissioned a poll that found overwhelming support for the plan even with the “slight” tax increase, said Carl Gruenler, the district’s chief business officer.

“It’s a very exciting and dynamic opportunity for the community,” Gruenler said. “That’s certainly how we look at it and most do based on the surveys that we did.”

Mail: Program considered powerful investigative tool Continued from Page A-1 surveillance requests.

The surveillance program, officially called mail covers, is more than a century old, but is still considered a powerful investigative tool.

At the request of state or federal law enforcement agencies or the Postal Inspection Service, postal workers record names, return addresses and any other information from the out-

side of letters and packages before they are delivered to a person’s home.

Law enforcement officials say this deceptively old-fashioned method of collecting data provides a wealth of information. (Opening the mail requires a warrant.)

In information provided to The New York Times earlier this year under the Freedom of Information Act, the Postal Service said that from

2001 through 2012, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies made more than 100,000 requests to monitor the mail of Americans. That would amount to an average of some 8,000 requests a year — far fewer than the nearly 50,000 requests in 2013 that the Postal Service reported in the audit.

Despite the sweep of the programs, postal officials say they are both less intrusive than that of the

National Security Agency’s vast collection of phone and Internet records and have safeguards to protect the privacy and civil liberties of Americans.

“You can’t just get a mail cover to go on a fishing exhibition,” said Paul J. Krenn, a spokesman for the Postal Inspection Service. “There has to be a legitimate law enforcement reason and the mail cover can’t be the sole tool.”

Two fired workers to get jobs back Employees also will receive back pay

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Two people who were fired from a Santa Fe restaurant company in July after they formed a committee to seek better working conditions will get back their jobs.

The National Labor Relations Board has released the terms of a settlement between Vista Grande Catering LLC and workers Carlos Campos and Mayté Flores.

Under the agreement, Campos will receive $3,167 and Flores $2,564 in back pay for the time

they were fired.

Still unresolved are their complaints that they previously were shortchanged by the catering company on overtime, were forced to work without pay through 30-minute lunch breaks, and that they were compelled to attend a 5 a.m. monthly staff meeting but were not paid for it.

Mark Vitagliano, president of Vista Grande Catering, signed the settlement drafted by the National Labor Relations Board. Vitagliano did not return messages Monday seeking comment. His business is at 3538 Zafarano Drive.

Flores also worked for and was fired from a related restaurant company, El Merendero Posa’s

Inc., on Rodeo Road. A fellow former employee, Vladimir Gutierrez, also alleges that he was fired from El Merendero because he joined with Flores and Campos in organizing the workers committee.

The National Labor Relations Board says Vista Grande Catering and El Merendero had interrelated operations, administered a common labor policy and “have held themselves out to the public as a single integrated business enterprise.”

But a spokesman for El Merendero said in a phone interview Monday that his company had no settlement with the fired workers.

The National Labor Relations Board has lodged a formal com-

A-5

plaint against El Merendero. It is based on Flores and Gutierrez alleging that the company retaliated against them for trying to improve working conditions, namely obtaining wages they were due.

Flores worked three days a week at the catering business and two days at El Merendero. Gutierrez in recent times had worked primarily at El Merendero.

Flores said she considers the case only half over.

“We are thrilled that we are able to go back to work and continue to organize for better conditions. We won’t stop until our co-

DA withdraws plea offer for man accused in man’s death

By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

Orlando “Red Eyes” Yazzie, who is accused of kicking a man to death in an arroyo near Rosario Cemetery last winter, was scheduled to plead guilty and be sentenced Monday.

But Assistant District Attorney Juan Valencia said during the hearing that the District Attorney’s Office was withdrawing its plea offer after learning that Yazzie had two prior felony convictions that were not disclosed during plea negotiations.

According to news reports from the time, Yazzie, 38, told police he and Mark Ginnel, 55, were drinking together before he punched Ginnel after the older man started “mouthing off” and “being racial,” calling Yazzie, who is Native American, “a cheap Indian.”

Yazzie told police Ginnel “went to sleep” after he punched him and that he returned a few hours later and kicked Ginnel in the head a few times.

Police initially identified both men as homeless, but Ginnel’s widow later disputed that characterization of her former husband.

Valencia said Monday he couldn’t remember what felony convictions Yazzie had that caused the District Attorney’s Office to withdraw his offer — Valencia was filling in on the case for another attorney who was out on medical leave Monday. But Valencia said he thinks the cases were out of Farmington.

Yazzie, who gave an Albuquerque address and previously had given his mailing address as St. Elizabeth Shelter in Santa Fe, has been arrested 28 times in Santa Fe since 2010, according to previous reports. Charges have included assault on a police officer, assault, aggravated battery, drinking in public, disorderly conduct and shoplifting. He has been jailed at least two dozen times since 2010, including six times in 2013.

Online court records show Yazzie pleaded guilty to a felony count of aggravated assault on a household member in District Court in Gallup in 2003.

His case is now set to go to trial in January 2015.

nrollment in Santa Fe Public Schools has risen by over 360 students this year, to about 13,125 students, according to preliminary 40-day attendance figures released by the district late last

week.

That figure includes 100 students in the district’s new Mandela International Magnet School and 84 students in the new Engage Santa Fe program designed to draw dropouts back into the system.

Last year, the district reported about 12,760 students enrolled at the 40-day mark so the year-over-year increase is 2.8 percent.

The district’s new Nina Otero Community School, which opened this year across the street from Capital High School, has 560 students enrolled. Many of those students transferred from other south-side schools that were over-enrolled last year.

“We are not facing as many overcrowding issues as we were last year,” said Richard Bowman, Chief Information and Strategy Officer for the district.

For instance, last year César Chávez Elementary School had about 600 students, according to Principal Felicia Sena. This year that number has dropped to 460 students.

“It’s much less crowded; the classrooms are much more manageable now,” Sena said Monday. She said the school’s capacity is about 550 students.

That school is under renovation and by the time construction is complete at the end of next summer, the district will remove the site’s seven portable classrooms, Sena said.

Capital High School saw an increase in 100 students from its 40-day numbers last year. The school has set up two portable classrooms to accommodate them, Bowman said

N.M. court hears death sentence appeals Ruling not made on whether current death row inmates can get life in prison

By Barry Massey The Associated Press

New Mexico’s only inmates facing possible execution asked the state’s highest court on Monday to declare their death sentences unconstitutional because capital punishment was abolished after their convictions.

The five justices didn’t make an immediate ruling after hearing arguments from lawyers, and it could be months before a decision is issued.

A similar legal challenge is pending in Connecticut involving death row inmates sentenced before that state abolished capital punishment in 2012.

New Mexico repealed the death penalty in 2009 for future

murders, but left it in place for Timothy Allen and Robert Fry, who were sentenced to die years before the Legislature and thenGov. Bill Richardson agreed to end capital punishment.

Lawyers for the inmates contend that the death sentences violate constitutional provisions against cruel and unusual punishment and equal-protection guarantees in light of the repeal, which applied to murders that happened on or after July 1, 2009.

They’re asking for sentences of life in prison.

“What can be more arbitrary and capricious than to decide

Main office: 983-3303 Late paper: 986-3010 News tips: 986-3035

whether someone should live or die based on a date,” said Fry’s lawyer, Kathleen McGarry.

But Assistant Attorney General M. Victoria Wilson told the court that the inmates’ death sentences should remain in place because the state has a constitutional provision that calls for punishing criminals according to the law in place at the time of their crimes.

Richardson didn’t commute the death sentences of Fry and Allen when he signed the repeal legislation. Governors of Illinois and New Jersey did that, however, for death row inmates after their states ended capital punishment.

No execution has been scheduled for either Fry or Allen.

Their death sentence challenge grew out of pending habeas corpus post-conviction appeals in state district court.

Fry was the last person sentenced to death in New Mexico, and was convicted of killing Betty Lee in 2000. The mother of

five was stabbed and bludgeoned with a sledgehammer in a remote area of San Juan County. Fry also has been sentenced to life in prison for three other murders in 1996 and 1998.

Allen was sentenced to die for strangling 17-year-old Sandra Phillips in northwestern New Mexico in 1994. He also was convicted of kidnapping and attempted rape.

Darlene Phillips of Farmington, the teenager’s mother, watched the court hearing and said afterward that justice wouldn’t be served if the court spared Allen from the death penalty.

She said she was “sick and tired” of appeals that delay Allen’s execution.

“Timothy Allen has been on death row longer than my daughter got to live her life,” Phillips said.

New Mexico’s last execution was in 2001. Child-killer Terry Clark’s execution was the first in the state in 41 years.

ELECTION ADWATCH

Duran campaign ad attacks rival’s voter ID stance TV spot says man registered dog to vote, argues Oliver ignores fraud

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Maggie Toulouse Oliver, the Democratic Party’s candidate for secretary of state, is being hounded by campaign ads recalling an incident in which an Albuquerque man registered his dog to vote.

Oliver, who is running against incumbent Republican Dianna Duran, has served as Bernalillo County clerk for eight years.

The dog voter registration is the subject of a 30-second television spot by Duran’s campaign as well as a full-color mailer sent to voters last week by a political action committee called New Mexicans for Honest Leadership, which is supporting Duran. Both the TV ad and the mailer use the would-be canine voter to argue that voter identificaDianna tion laws — supported by Duran and Duran opposed by Oliver — are needed.

Both are based on the story of Thomas Tolbert, who registered his Labrador retriever, Buddy, to vote in February 2012 at a voter registration table at The University of New Mexico.

TV spot text: Male narrator: “The issue. Should voters be required to show ID at the polls? Secretary of Maggie State Dianna Duran supports voter Toulouse ID. Won convictions for voter fraud. Oliver Duran is endorsed by the Albuquerque Journal.

“Her opponent, Maggie Toulouse Oliver opposes voter ID. Toulouse Oliver ignores the fraud and even after her office registered a dog to vote, Toulouse Oliver still opposes voter ID. Maggie Toulouse Oliver, wrong on Voter ID.” The PAC’s mailer says, “The man who registered his dog did so to expose problems with the voter registration system. That should have woken Maggie Toulouse Oliver up to the fact that voter fraud is a real issue in New Mexico. … One thing is clear, Maggie Toulouse Oliver would create less secure elections.

Votes could be stolen … and maybe dogs could vote.”

Background: Tolbert signed a voter registration form under the name “Buddy W. Tolbert.” He gave Buddy a fake Social Security number and a 1980 birthdate. And though Thomas Tolbert is a Republican, he registered Buddy as a Democrat. Shortly afterwards,

Ad: Says Oliver ignores fraud Continued from Page A-5 Buddy received his voter card in the mail. Tolbert went to KOB-TV with the story in early March 2012. The station aired a report without naming Tolbert. In the report, Tolbert said the registration proved the system was broken. Though the original television report didn’t name him, a liberal advocacy group, Progress Now New Mexico outed Tolbert, noting that he was married to a staffer for Republican Heather Wilson, who at the time was running for Senate. After his name was made public, Tolbert made a formal apology: “I made a mistake and I want to apologize to Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver [and] my wife, who was not aware of my actions, and the public,” he said. “I will take full responsibility for my actions.”

Oliver was quoted by the Associated Press at the time saying, “It is very disheartening that someone would attempt to present fraudulent information to test a system that the state Legislature has intended to foster participation in the voting process. I would warn those individuals who think this type of activity is a joke or a ‘gotcha’

that, regardless of their intentions, they have broken the law and will therefore have to be subject to due process of law.”

Oliver turned over the dog’s registration to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department, which opened an investigation.

However, there is no record of a case ever being filed in court.

Accuracy: While both the mailer and TV ad imply that people could register a fake name — dog or otherwise — then go vote, there is a safeguard in New Mexico law to prevent that from happening in some cases. First-time voters who register by mail, if they don’t submit some form of identification with mail-in registrations, are then required to present identification when voting in person or absentee.

However, because he didn’t register by mail, that wouldn’t have prevented Thomas Talbert from voting under the name of “Buddy Talbert” had he not publicized the fake registration.

Haase had been a Rio Rancho police officer for a year and was the second Rio Rancho officer to die in the line of duty.

Officer Germaine Case was killed in 2007 when his motorcycle struck a tree while escorting President George W. Bush.

After pitching for Rio Rancho High School and for Cochise College in Arizona, Haase was drafted by the Texas Rangers.

you are that determined to commit voter fraud, you probably would have a fake ID,” he said Packman said that his main problem with Duran’s ad is the claim that Oliver “ignores the fraud.”

“She’s given information about possible voter fraud to law enforcement and the Secretary of State’s Office,” he said. He pointed to a 2008 story in The Wall Street Journal in which Oliver turned to law enforcement over 1,400 suspicious voter registration forms received by her office that year.

She also forwarded a case of an Albuquerque man named Thomas Pino — who admitted in a television report that he’d voted under the name of his son as well as himself — to law enforcement. Because early voting officials were suspicious of him when he claimed to be his son, Oliver’s office flagged his name and when he showed up to vote under his own name, he had to cast a provisional ballot. Pino was charged with false voting and forgery in November 2012. However, court records show prosecutors dropped the case in 2013.

SFPS: Pre-K figures not counted Continued from Page A-5 Districts tally up enrollment figures at the 40th, 80th and 120th day of school. The district’s per-pupil funding from the State Equalization Guarantee formula is based on average attendance of the 80th and 120th day numbers.

Larry Behrens, spokesman for the Public Education Department, said the 40-day figures are important measure to establish appropriate funding for districts.

Bowman said enrollment numbers usually drop slightly during the school year. “Sometimes it’s people moving,” he said, a point Sena echoed.

A comparison of 40-day numbers to end-of-year numbers from school year 2013-14 denotes increases or decreases of 10 students or less in most of the schools. But there were

Richard Dana Jay, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 24th after a brave and courageous battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

Richard, the youngest of four children was born in New York City, on October 26, 1944, to Nelson Dean Jay, Jr. and Diana Draper Jay Bigelow. He was the grandson of the famous interior decorator Dorothy Draper.

Richard truly was a renaissance man who lived an incredibly full and adventurous life. Richard was a feel good machine. His fun-loving spirit, humor, optimism and positive attitude energized anyone who came into contact with him.

Richard was the life of the party. In his early days he was a great woodworker and fantastic mechanic. He knew how to fix things. He was the most gifted storyteller and treated strangers like true friends. He liked to cook, entertain and loved to see people happy.

He was infatuated with the outdoors and enjoyed many activities including fly-fishing, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, camping, exploring, traveling, and, most importantly, flying and skiing. Flying was a passion he shared and he could just about fly anything with wings. His father taught him to ski when he was five on the old Hyde Park rope tow. Anyone who watched Richard ski or tele-mark would always state he was one of the most beautiful skiers they had ever seen grace the Rocky Mountains.

He danced on skis. More than anything, Richard was an unbelievably devoted father and grandfather.

At age 3, Richard and his family moved from NYC to the beautiful Pojoaque Valley. He grew up on a Ranch in Pena Blanca where his family introduced Black Angus Cattle and traded alfalfa to Maria’s Kitchen in Santa Fe for family meals. During this time, he learned mechanics and the workings of ranch life. As a young boy, Richard attended Green Fields Day School in Tucson, AZ. and graduated from St. Michael’s high school in Santa Fe, NM. While attending Fort Lewis University in Durango, CO, Richard was drafted in the United States Air Force where he served as a Weapons Crew Chief on A-26 Aircraft in Vietnam.

After serving his time with the military, Richard moved to Vail, CO pursuing his love of skiing in the Rocky Mountains. He moved back to New Mexico the following year and attended the University of New Mexico. He suffered a broken back during a car crash coming down the Santa Fe Ski Basin. After his recovery, Richard worked at Alpine sports and bartended at La Posada, where he met his wife, Whitney Neal, vacationing from Kansas City, MO. In 1971, they married, and he began his lifetime career in real estate. They had two children, Trevor Dana Jay, in 1972 and Richard Tyler Jay, in 1975.

During this time, Richard started his own real estate firm, Richard Jay Associates. In the mid 80’s, he moved to Colorado working as the Real Estate Director for Keystone Ski Resort and then selling Real Estate in Aspen, CO. Missing New Mexico and his family, Richard moved back to Santa Fe and was one of the original key players in the formation of Santa Fe Properties and managed at French and French Fine Properties. He was an enthusiastic realtor who worked over forty years in the business.

In 1997, Richard married Donna Roullier and adopted her son Fitz Jay. Richard is preceded in death by his father Nelson Jay, his mother Diana Draper, his brother Dean Jay, and Whitney Neal Jay. He is survived by his oldest brother George Jay and his partner Sue Shellenberger, his older sister Susan Jay Dean and her husband Hal Dean, his sister Wendyl Jay and partner Bill Bailey, his son Trevor and his wife Dina and their children Alison and Cooper, his son Tyler and his wife Melissa and their children Lucas and Jocelyn, and his son Fitz and his partner Megan Shaffer, and his many nieces and nephews.

It was only fitting that his last words before he passed serenely was "Whoa, I’m heading down the trail. Heading down the trail. Down the trail…."

Richard’s wish is for you to support the ALS of New Mexico Chapter (www.alsanm.org). Santa Fe Association of Realtors (SFAR) raised over $50,000 for ALS of New Mexico Research in Richard’s Honor.

Doris (Blackie) Budrow DeGroot, 92, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2014 at her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was born on April 26, 1922 to Walter Budrow and Crilla Merchant Budrow in Fowler, Indiana. Born into a family with a strong work ethic, Blackie soon learned in the hard scrabble years of the depression that hard work and dogged effort were the norm.

She received a degree in occupational therapy from Ohio State University and began her first career working with cerebral palsy patients.

After meeting and marrying Robert C. "Bobby" Schenck she began the first of many home building projects. The two of them converted a 525 sq. ft. maple sugar cabin named "Shaky Shack" into their first home. Blackie had two sons, William C. "Billy" Schenck born in 1947 and John E.B. "Jeb" Schenck in 1950. Aside from her strong work ethic Blackie was an accomplished athlete, playing tennis and golf with an intensely competitive focus. Eventually, she met Jack Nicholas but, wisely chose not to compete on the golf course with him.

With her husband Bobby, they went to Friday night high school football games. Saturday’s were spent at the Ohio State football stadium and then a drive to Cleveland on Saturday nights to spend the night with the Otto Graham family, making 16mm movies of all the home game of the Cleveland Browns from 1947-1951.

Blackie and Bobby built their second home and moved in 1950. Bobby died just after Christmas 1952 on their way to Florida, leaving Blackie a widow with two young boys. She went back to school at Ohio State and got another degree in education. She began a long and successful career as a teacher.

In 1964, her sons introduced her to Robert deGroot, a world class athlete and teacher like herself.

With Bob, Blackie began putting her life back together. Now began her third building project. She, Bob and her sons spent 20 summers building a log cabin compound as "in holders" in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. They built two houses, three guest cabins and a painting studio, barn and corral. When Blackie and Sage retired from teaching, her yen for adventurous travel continued with trips to Spain and Costa Rica. Bob and Blackie finally decided to spend their winters in Arizona where they built another home.

Aside from her career in teaching and building homes Blackie had other compassionate endeavors.

She took in a close family friend, a then 14 year old runaway and raised her through high school.

She then took on a niece, raised her and put her through nursing school. Blackie was literally career ambitious for everyone she came into contact with. She was passionate about geology, paleontology and anthropology, canoeing and hiking.

After nearly 25 years in Grand Teton National Park, Blackie and Sage moved to Santa Fe where they spent their remaining years. Still involved in building houses well into her 80s, Blackie discussed extensively with her son Billy about the design of one final extraordinary home he was building for her in La Cienega.

She had led a very full life and is greatly missed. Blackie was preceded in death by her beloved husband Bob (Sage) and is survived by her sons, Billy and Jeb, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren, numerous Schenck and Budrow family, nieces and nephews, and the deGroot extended family, as well as several close friends.

Pressed for success New company specializes in cold-pressed, high-fiber juices delivered to homes and businesses

By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

f there ever was an organics business that started organically, it is Kelly Egolf’s Verde Juice Co. When Egolf underwent surgery to fix a complicated jaw disorder, she was told she would not be able to eat solid foods or chew for as long as four months. But instead of using a syringe to take in mulched food, the Santa Fe mom and business consultant started experimenting with healthy raw juices using kale, apples and other vegetables and fruits.

She offered samples to friends and colleagues, soliciting input on taste and appeal. “I found myself making juice every morning for about 10 people,” she said.

After a month, she felt much better, she had more energy, and she had a new business.

Verde Juice specializes in fresh, cold-pressed, high-fiber juices like those that are taking hold in places such as Portland, Ore., and Boulder, Colo., as well as airports across the country. It is the first of its kind in New Mexico, Egolf said.

For months Egolf has been renting commercial kitchen space off Rufina Circle, but starting next week, Verde will have its own processing kitchen at 851 W. San Mateo Road next to Studio Nia. The startup costs are about $200,000, which includes a $27,000 juicer that weighs 600 pounds. She has been delivering some 700 bottles per month but hopes to grow that to 3,000 per month once she settles into the new space.

The company is taking a hiatus during the transition but hopes to be delivering juice again by midNovember. “We should just about have everything done by the end of next week,” she said. “All of the

In brief Los Alamos Beer Co-op moves forward Los Alamos will soon be among only a handful of cities in the country to open the first cooperative craft brewery.

The Los Alamos Beer Co-op estimates that the future brewery will open its new location early in 2015.

With 300 more memberships in the next few months, the co-op hopes to hire a professional brewer and eventually produce four varieties of beer, along with root beer and cider.

A co-op brewery is different from traditional breweries in that members own part of the business.

equipment is arriving Wednesday,” she said last week.

The business is as far as one can get from the frozen food section at Smith’s or Wal-Mart. All the juices are processed in the morning, then packed with ice in a specialty designed cooler and delivered directly to customers by the Santa Fe-based Dashing Delivery Service.

Unlike other products, someone must be at a home or business to receive the juices, as they must be refrigerated. The juice has to be consumed within three or four days, Egolf said.

“It’s unpasteurized juice,” she said.

“It must be received in person and transferred to refrigeration right away. All the good and bad bacteria is still living in the juice.”

That presents challenges for restaurants, caterers and hotels who have asked to serve the product to customers at conventions and other events. Egolf needs to educate them that the product can’t be kept out on a banquet table, for instance.

Cold-pressing juice uses a hydraulic press to separate the juice from the pulp, Egolf said. “The more common juicing method kills off living enzymes and produces juices with fewer nutrients,” she said.

Her business is also committed to purchasing greens and produce from Northern New Mexico growers when possible, including Green Tractor Farm in La Cienega, as well as Whole Foods, La Montanita Co-op and Vitamin Cottage.

“We’re selling Verde lots of carrots, beets and cucumbers while we have them in season,” said Green Tractor’s Ned Conwell.

Egolf purchases 300 pound of carrots a week, and Verde is using 2,200 pounds of fresh produce every week.

That amount will double as the business grows.

Therefore, each member has the power to vote on how the business should be run, what types of beers should be offered and other decisions. Unlike traditional breweries, any revenue has to be reinvested or returned to the members/owners.

There are currently only three co-op breweries in the country, and the idea is fast becoming the preferred business model for startup breweries that are tapping their communities for the funds and sweat equity it takes to get the brewery off the ground.

To open as a craft brewery, the Los Alamos Beer Co-op has applied for a craft brewery license from the state and expects to receive this license later this year. The co-op is looking for a professional brewmaster.

The future site of the brewery is located at a former bar and grill in Los Alamos. Plans for the space

“We’re at the farmers market a lot,” Egolf said.

Egolf is a self-confessed Army brat who graduated from Cornell College in Iowa at age 20. She joined the Peace Corps, then attended George Washington University, where she studied international development and met Brian Egolf, a Santa Fe native who now has a law practice and serves in the Legislature.

After moving a lot as a child, Kelly Egolf knew her husband wanted to

include an outdoor patio and movies outdoors in the summer.

stay in Santa Fe to build a life, and she sees Verde as a business that she can grow from Santa Fe while giving her the flexibility to spend time with her family. The couple have two young children.

With that goal she has also learned to set priorities. In April, she was offering 20 juice recipes but realized it was too many.

Now she has scaled back to 11. The most popular, she said, are Green Goddess, a blend of vegetables loaded with magnesium; Hydrating Sweetness, an apple and cucumber balance with chai; Eastern Roots with turmeric, ginger, spices and carrots; and Apple Cleanse, a cucumber blend high in silicon.

The juice runs $9 a bottle, plus she gives a 50-cent refund for returns, a throwback to the days when dairies delivered fresh milk directly to homes. In a few months, Egolf sees “grab and go” juice sales not just at the San Mateo kitchen but in Eldorado, Tesuque and Las Campanas.

She also wants to find a way to serve Albuquerque. By 2015, she hopes to be able to deliver 7,500 bottles a month.

Vicki Pozzebon, a local nonprofit manager who now consults on sustainable business practices with her own firm, Prospera Partners, worked with Egolf to refine the Verde business plan. She said the challenges were ensuring a source for fresh produce outside the growing season as well as making the case with lenders that another food business could thrive in Santa Fe, especially with good employees and management.

“These businesses take time,” Pozzebon said. “When you’re thinking about investing in one local business, you’re going to grow the local economy, but it’s going to take some time.”

his past summer may have been the best ever for Santa Fe hotels, with occupancy and revenue both returning to prerecession highs.

Data provided by the Tennesseebased STR, which collects analytical lodging data from 46,000 hotels globally, show that the occupancy level in July at the 6,087 rooms in the Santa Fe market exceeded 80 percent for the first time in seven years. Data were provided from January 2008 through September 2014.

At the same time, total revenue from hotel rooms for the three summer months — July, August and September, exceeded $57 million in 2014, an 8 percent jump Bruce from the $52.6 milKrasnow lion in 2013 and the Business Matters best three months going back to at least 2007.

One new hotel this summer was the Drury Plaza Hotel, which added high-quality rooms to the mix. So while July saw the highest occupancy rate because the Drury rooms were not yet available, August saw the most revenue as there were more rooms to rent and they fetched a higher average rate.

Even with a lower occupancy in August of 75.8 percent, for instance, total revenue was $21 million versus $19.9 million in July, according to STR. The month of July saw a revenue jump of 12.5 percent from a year ago, while August saw a 5.6 percent rise. The trend continued into September, when revenue was up 7.1 percent compared with 2013.

So far in 2014 through September, occupancy is 3.1 percent ahead of the same period last year and revenue is $124 million in Santa Fe, a 6.8 percent jump. Interestingly, that is about the same increase statewide, which indicates hotel occupancy is seeing a healthy boost throughout New Mexico, according to the data.

The data doesn’t include October, which may have seen a boost in the number of travelers to Santa Fe from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, according to merchants. There was a new effort to market Santa Fe balloon attendees by both the city of Santa Fe and The New Mexican.

The summer bounce is also showing up in city of Santa Fe Lodgers Tax. The 7 percent paid by hotel patrons is used by the city to support and promote hospitality, including the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. It was $50,000 from the Lodgers Tax fund that was recently used as an incentive to lure The Bachelor television show, which recently came to film a segment in Santa Fe. In the first three months of Fiscal Year 2015, collections by the city are up 17 percent from 2013. The July Lodgers Tax take was up 20 percent, and the August revenue — a record $672,318 — was up 27 percent. uuu

More tourism is resulting in a larger hospitality sector in Santa Fe, and the field added another 100 jobs for the 12-month period ending in September.

Hospitality now employs 9,600 workers in Santa Fe County.

An analysis by the state Department of Workforce Solutions shows the county had a net loss of 300 jobs for the period, with hospitality and construction the only areas to show improvements. The largest loss was in retail, which contracted by 300 jobs, with the number of workers now standing at 8,500, according to the data. uuu

Here is an item from a CNBC story on gas prices posted to its website Oct. 26.

“In the Lower 48 states, San Francisco had the highest average price at $3.45 per gallon, while Memphis, Tennessee, had the lowest average at $2.73.”

Surprise: As we’ve been reporting, the gas price in Santa Fe is pretty darn close to the lowest in the country — with many stations now charging $2.74 for a gallon of unleaded regular.

She has done a fine job in leading our state through a difficult period, and she has the potential to do much more.” M.V. The New Mexican is endorsing its version of Sarah Palin. I’m embarrassed and dismayed. Martinez is a gun-carrying, flag-waving, extreme right-winger.

COMMENTARY: MARTIN HEINRICH

A grab for federal public lands ALBUQUERQUE ike a rerun of a bad Western, the battle over ownership of the United States’ public lands has revived many a tired and false caricature of those of us whose livelihoods and families are rooted in the open spaces of the West.

With a script similar to one used last spring by Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, a small contingent of opportunistic politicians is vowing to dispose of national forests, conservation lands and open space.

You may remember Bundy, whose refusal to pay more than $1 million in overdue grazing fees instigated a dangerous standoff with law enforcement officials. The confrontation made him the face of what some say is a renewed Sagebrush Rebellion to turn over U.S. public lands to state control.

Bundy does not represent the West, however. And the campaign to transfer to the states or even sell off our shared lands should not be mistaken for the mainstream values of Westerners whose way of life depends on the region’s land and water.

Utah was the first state to embark on this course. In 2012, the state’s Republican governor, Gary Herbert, signed a law demanding (though unsuccessfully so far) that the federal government transfer to the state more than 20 million acres owned by U.S. taxpayers. This included national forests and grasslands and such jewels as Lake Powell and the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.

In turn, the legislatures in Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming have created task forces to study the idea, though similar efforts in Colorado and my home state of New Mexico have thus far failed.

L

Proponents argue that states are better equipped to manage the West’s natural wonders than the U.S. Forest Service and other national land management agencies.

What they don’t say is that their proposal would raise the possibility that some of the lands would be turned over to the highest bidder and that Western taxpayers would be saddled with the costs of overseeing the rest.

Tellingly, while the Utah legislation excluded national parks and wilderness areas from lands that would be transferred to the state, the 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument was not excluded. That may have something to do with a 1997 report by the Utah Geological Survey that concluded that Grand Staircase-Escalante “includes some of the most energy-rich lands in the lower 48 states.”

The costs of managing these lands could bankrupt state governments. More than $3.9 billion was appropriated for federal wildfire management alone for fiscal 2014. The only way states could foot the bill for administering these public lands would be to raise taxes or sell or lease large expanses to developers and other private interests, including oil, gas, timber and mining companies.

This would also result in a proliferation of locked gates and no-trespassing signs in places that have been open to the public and used for generations. This would devastate outdoor traditions like hunting, camping and fishing that are among the pillars of Western culture and a thriving outdoor recreation economy.

Like many New Mexicans, my 11-yearold son and I just returned from an autumn elk hunt on national forest land. The bull elk that we brought home will feed our

family for most of the coming year, but the experience of backpacking into the high country, sleeping on the ground and hearing the elk bugle around us will feed my son’s imagination for years to come.

These types of land-grab schemes are as old as the railroads. But the chief salesman for this latest land seizure campaign, the American Lands Council, is having some success pitching state legislators on “model legislation” to enable these transfers. The legislation was drafted with the help of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, which receives financing from the utility industry and fossil-fuel producers.

It is unclear whether such legislation is even enforceable.

Still, even the Republican National Committee has bought the snake oil the American Lands Council is selling. Last January, the committee endorsed the transfer of public lands to the states. In addition, the U.S. House of Representatives, controlled

by Republicans, endorsed the outright sale of our public lands.

Admittedly, the federal government does not do a perfect job of managing U.S. public lands. There are real problems that need to be solved, like creating more access points for recreation, hunting and fishing, as my colleagues and I are proposing to do with a bill I introduced called the HUNT Act. But these are problems we can solve because of the very fact that these lands are public and we each have a voice in their management.

America’s forests, wildlife refuges and conservation lands are part of the fabric of our democracy. Let’s keep them that way.

LOOKING IN: GEORGE FENWICK

NFL must act on bird-killing stadiums

T

he National Football League this past year brought in revenues of around $10 billion. Arguably, football is the most watched and followed sport in this country. But developments surrounding the planning of a new football stadium for the Minnesota Vikings offer a glimpse of an emerging unseemly indifference by the team’s owners and the NFL to wildlife impacts that is disturbing to millions of people who care about the nonhuman species that share our planet.

Plans for the proposed George new stadium call for a Fenwick massive wall of glass that experts say will assuredly kill thousands of birds over the life of the facility. Bird and wildlife advocates have raised this concern with stadium developers and with city planners. Reasonable solutions were offered from conservationists early in the process. The response from the team and the NFL has been as frigid as the Minnesota winters: The glass will go in exactly as planned. And this is in spite of a new resolution from the Minneapolis City Council calling for bird-saving preventative measures.

The stadium, which is expected to open in two years, will cost nearly $1 billion to build. The bird-friendly changes requested — installing “fritted” glass with ceramic dots that birds see and generally avoid — would cost about $1.1 million. For an outlay of onetenth of 1 percent of the cost of the stadium, this problem goes away. This is pocket change to the NFL and team owners.

For some reason, team owners and the NFL feel empowered to ignore what in all likelihood will be daily avian carnage at their facility. The irony of that position is stunning: The NFL makes massive marketing use of birds like eagles (Philadelphia), falcons (Atlanta), cardinals (Arizona), sea hawks (Seattle) and ravens (Baltimore),

while at the same time sanctioning the building of stadiums with features that serve as bird death traps.

How big a problem is bird collisions with glass? Huge. A recent report from federal scientists at the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service revealed that bird-glass collisions are the second-leading human-caused mortality threat faced by birds, with between 400 million and 1 billion birds killed in the U.S. in that fashion every year. All kinds of birds are affected: hawks, falcons, owls, songbirds. It is one reason why more than 200 species of birds are in decline or otherwise in serious trouble.

Team owners and the NFL would do well to recognize that Minneapolis is one of a relative handful of cities that have the laudable distinction of being federally designated as an Urban Bird Treaty city, which means that they have shown uncommon interest in protecting and conserving birds.

Somehow I think some have forgotten

what that means — and how inconsistent current actions are with that notable designation.

I hope the NFL will step in and demonstrate some level of common sense and compassion for wildlife, encouraging the Minnesota Vikings (and other team owners with similar problems) to do the right thing. Absent that, about 100,000 Viking football fans will be exposed to a lot of “inconvenient truths” each game: the repeated thud as birds crash into a glass wall at 40 miles per hour, and the sight of birds littering the ground at their feet.

Dr. George Fenwick has served as president and CEO since American Bird Conservancy’s founding in 1994. Prior to that, he worked in a variety of capacities during 15 years with The Nature Conservancy, including director of science, and chairman of the Last Great Places Campaign Steering Committee. He received a doctorate in pathobiology from Johns Hopkins University.

This, of course, is nothing new — the spicy señorita archetype goes back to the silent reelers. But, as a result, gabachos have sexualized Mexican women ever since — and if you don’t believe me, go to any fraternity’s Drinko de Cinco bash.

Quarantine isn’t sensible

Gail Collins The New York Times

T

here’s a TV ad that’s been running in Louisiana: It’s evening and a mom is tucking in her baby. Getting a nice text from Dad, who’s away on a trip. Then suddenly — dark shadow on a window.

Somebody’s smashing the front door open! Next thing you know, there’s police tape around the house, blinking lights on emergency vehicles.

“It happens like that,” says a somber narrator. “The police can’t get there in time. How you defend yourself is up to you. It’s your choice. But Mary Landrieu voted to take away your gun rights. Vote like your safety depends on it. Defend your freedom. Defeat Mary Landrieu.”

Guns are a big issue in some of the hottest elections around the country this year, but there hasn’t been much national discussion about it.

Perhaps we’ve been too busy worrying whether terrorists are infecting themselves with Ebola and sneaking across the Mexican border.

But now, as usual, we’re returning to the issue because of a terrible school shooting.

The latest — a high school freshman boy with a gun in a high school cafeteria — occurred in the state of Washington, which also happens to be ground zero for the election-year gun debate. At least that’s the way the movement against gun violence sees it.

There’s a voter initiative on the ballot that would require background checks for gun sales at gun shows or online.

“We need to be laser focused on getting this policy passed,” said Brian Malte of the Brady Campaign.

Think about this. It’s really remarkable. Two years after

I the Sandy Hook tragedy, the top gun-control priority in the U.S. is still background checks. There is nothing controversial about the idea that people who buy guns should be screened to make sure they don’t have a criminal record or serious mental illness.

Americans favor it by huge majorities. Even gun owners support it. Yet we’re still struggling with it.

The problem, of course, is the National Rifle Association, which does not actually represent gun owners nearly as ferociously as it represents gun sellers. The background check bill is on the ballot under voter initiative because the Washington state Legislature was too frightened of the NRA to take it up. This in a state that managed to pass a right-to-die law, approve gay marriage and legalize the sale of marijuana.

The NRA has worked hard to cultivate its reputation for terrifying implacability. Let’s return for a minute to Sen. Mary Landrieu, who’s in a very tough re-election race.

Last year, in the wake of Sandy Hook, she voted for a watereddown background check bill.

It failed to get the requisite 60 votes in the Senate, but the

NRA is not forgetting.

Nor is it a fan of compromise. Landrieu has tried to straddle the middle on gun issues; she voted last year for the NRA’s own top priority, a bill to create an enormous loophole in concealed weapons laws. As a reward, she got a “D” rating and the murdered-mom ad. In Colorado, the embattled Sen. Mark Udall, who has a similar voting record, is getting the same treatment.

The NRA’s vision of the world is purposefully dark and utterly irrational. It’s been running a series of what it regards as positive ads, which are so grim they do suggest that it’s time to grab a rifle and head for the bunker. In one, a mournful-looking woman asks whether there’s still anything worth fighting for in “a world that demands we submit, succumb, and believe in nothing.” It is, she continues, a world full of “cowards who pretend they don’t notice the elderly man fall …”

Now when was the last time you saw people ignore an elderly man who falls down? I live in what is supposed to be a hardhearted city, but when an old person trips and hits the ground, there is a veritable

stampede to get him upright.

The ad running against people like Landrieu makes no sense whatsoever. If that background-check bill had become law, the doomed mother would still have been able to buy a gun for protection unless she happened to be a convicted felon. And while we have many, many, many things to worry about these days, the prospect of an armed stranger breaking through the front door and murdering the family is not high on the list.

Unless the intruder was actually a former abusive spouse or boyfriend, in which case a background check would have been extremely helpful in keeping him unarmed.

A shooting like the one in Washington state is so shocking that it seems almost improper to suggest that people respond by passing an extremely mild gun control measure.

But there is a kind of moral balance. While we may not be able to stop these tragedies from happening, we can stop thinking of ourselves as a country that lets them happen and then does nothing.

Unless your worldview is as bleak as the NRA’s, you have to believe we’re better than that.

hy such a negative portrayal of the effects of the plastic bag ban? You state in the story (“Shoppers fail to reuse bags,” Oct. 23) that the ban “isn’t working as intended.”

You picture a tourist with a rental car after he has stocked up for his visit. Tell a better story. The ban alone is not

enough to change old habits. Effective change is multilayered, and stores need to chip in. Report instead on the number of customers at the La Montañita Co-op who regularly reuse bags due to the store’s decades-old bag refund. Encourage shop owners to advertise bag refunds to persuade shoppers to create new habits beneficial to the environment.

The ban will work when businesses and individuals provide the social and economic structure to improve it.

Reason to settle I hate being so cynical, but having

walked around on this hunk of rock for so long, it is kind of an attitude a lot of us develop. So I’m trying to change in that regard.

But I find it kind of strange that we finally have a settlement in our local hospital labor dispute. I wonder if Ebola and the potential that if it came to Santa Fe and there were problems of understaffing had anything to do with the settlement — maybe even more so than how the local paper is trying to promote an up-andcoming politician, the mayor (“S.F. mayor kept talks going with Christus, union,” Oct. 17)?

The Economist (July 5, 2014, Page 23) shows a map of states’ small-business friendliness, and our neighbors are all ranked better than New Mexico. Consider these ratings: Texas has an A-plus, Arizona a B, Utah an A-plus, Colorado an A, Oklahoma an A and New Mexico has a D-plus!

Without new businesses, there is no new growth and no new jobs — without jobs, we lose our dignity. Without business, there is no tax money to pay for government.

Think about that. Republicans know how to get business friendly. Give them a chance.

Give GOP a chance Since the 1950s, this state has been a Democratic-run state with a Republican governor here and there.

So for 50 some years the Democrats have not brought this state up from poverty, poor education and a bad economy.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Let’s look at the basic problem. New Mexico is not a business-friendly state.

t sounds so sensible. Ebola is a deadly disease.

Unchecked, it could cause disaster in the United States, just as it is doing in Africa. So, to be sensible, quarantine those health workers who have been taking care of Ebola patients in Africa. A 21-day quarantine, while tough for the non-symptomatic patient, just makes sense.

That was the tact that those oh-so-manly, decisive governors, Chris Christie of New Jersey and Andrew Cuomo of New York, took (for a weekend, at least). Forget about the squishy federal guidelines or the too-soft rules of New York City that allowed people exposed to Ebola to self-monitor their temperatures. No, Govs. Christie and Cuomo decided, without consulting anyone else, to do what had to be done.

Lock up those health care workers!

So nurse Kaci Hickox, on her way back to the United States from service in Africa, found herself detained at the airport, told little about what was happening and then transferred by police caravan to a quarantine tent at a New Jersey hospital. She remained there over the weekend — despite having twice been tested and twice been revealed to be Ebola-free. She is spitting mad, and no wonder. In the face of her outspoken disgust at her treatment, Gov. Christie on Monday agreed to let Hickox return to Maine. Gov. Cuomo backed down even more, saying that health care workers in New York state can serve out their quarantines at home.

What is somewhat frightening is how many citizens agree with the governors’ over-broad quarantine order.

Quarantine, say the non-scientists, is the only way to keep America safe. After all, the New York doctor who came back from Africa and felt fatigued still went bowling, rode the subway and went out to eat. Dr. Craig Spencer did have Ebola and is in the hospital fighting for his life. However, the science tells us this: Ebola is not contagious until the symptoms show up. High fever, vomiting and diarrhea — that’s when a person is most contagious, not just when he or she is fatigued. Spencer was following the protocols set by his group, Doctors Without Borders. Those include taking his temperature twice a day, staying close to hospitals and calling in as soon as the reading on the thermometer was high. He did nothing out of line and went to the hospital with a 100.3 degree fever, catching the disease about as early as possible.

It’s the rest of the world that is out of control, starting with Govs. Christie and Cuomo.

The quarantine isn’t sensible. For one thing, the notion that any health care worker who has treated an Ebola patient must be quarantined, if taken to its logical extension, means this: Health workers in Dallas who took care of Thomas Eric Duncan and the two nurses who became ill — all of them — would have been quarentined. The Texas hospital where the first American case was diagnosed had three patients. Ebola patients have been treated in Georgia, Maryland and Nebraska, too. Next up for quarantine would be the nurses, doctors and aides caring for Dr. Spencer in New York City. Obviously, it’s difficult to handle outbreaks if the protocol is to lock up health care workers who have cared for the sick.

More importantly, quarantining asymptomatic health care workers will make it harder for the U.S. doctors and nurses who are serving in Africa. Despite the panic in the U.S., the epidemic is not here. It is in Africa. Unless Ebola is stopped at the source, the rest of the world will have something to panic about. The quarantine does not make us safer. “It’s completely unnecessary,” Harvard’s Ashish Jha told the online site Vox’s Sarah Kliff. (Jha’s the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute). “I’m a believer in an abundance of caution, but I’m not a believer of an abundance of idiocy.”

Idiocy, however, is overflowing.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Oct. 28, 1964: All construction and cleanup work on the south section of St. Francis Drive through Santa Fe is expected to be completed in about two weeks.

A 21-year-old Santa Fe man was back in custody today after escaping from the city jail where he was being held for investigation of insanity and running nude into the Plaza area.

New book offers the backstory for ‘Game of Thrones’ Narrow Sea. (Fans of Tyrion Lannister, be advised: Martin includes little about the character he has called his favorite.

He’s saving that for future books).

Time spent working on The World of Ice & Fire also means time spent on publicity, and on Sunday the resident of Santa Fe came to New York and appeared before hundreds of fans at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y. Dressed all in black, he was interviewed on stage by Salon. com critic Laura Miller.

Martin, 66, has completed five of seven planned novels: The most recent, A Dance With Dragons, came out in 2011, the same year the Emmy-winning HBO adaptation Game of Thrones first aired. Martin said Sunday that one challenge is keeping track of so many characters and events spread out over thousands of pages. Like a filmmaker hiring a continuity director, he works with longtime Ice and Fire experts Elio M. Garcia, Jr. and Linda Antonsson, who run the fan site www. westeros.org and are credited as co-authors of the new book.

“They displayed, right away, an almost obsessive knowledge of my world. In fact, I had to alter my world because of that obsessive knowledge,” Martin said, noting that they had caught errors in his work.

Martin said some of his fondest early memories were of reading illustrated versions of Treasure Island and other classics and that he wanted The World of Ice & Fire to have a similar appeal.

“My feeling was ‘Let’s make it a coffee table book and let’s fill it with some great fantasy art by some of the top illustrators in the fantasy world,’ ” he said.

“We’re at a time in publishing history where you can have you stories in many different ways.

But I’m still an old fart. I love a physical book.”

By Hillel Italie The Associated Press

NEW YORK — George R.R. Martin knows all the signs of Boba Fett Syndrome.

Named for the minor Star Wars character who fans demanded to know more about, Boba Fett Syndrome is most acute for any book or film series that has reached the level of phenomenon, when minutiae becomes major. For Martin, this has meant not just the usual demands for the next A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novel (don’t ask, he’s still working on it), but constant letters and emails asking for information on everything from dragons to Aegon Targaryen’s war against the Seven Kingdoms.

Martin’s new book, released this week, is The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones, 300 pages of back story and original artwork by the some of the world’s top fantasy illustrators. He agreed to the companion volume in 2006 and expected it would take just a couple of years. Naturally, it took longer. He intended to write some brief text to accompany the drawings, but ended up setting down some 300,000 words, more than enough to make his editor’s “head explode.”

“It was bigger than I anticipated,” he said during a recent telephone interview, acknowledging that The World of Ice & Fire might have delayed still further the next Ice and Fire novel. “I start these things that I think won’t take much time and they grow and grow.”

Martin said The World of Ice & Fire offers material already in the Ice and Fire series, material he has long worked out in his mind and on paper, but had never released, and material he invented entirely for the book, such as the section dedicated to lands on the other side of the

Royals hope to light up Giants, clubhouse deer

The Royals’ Mike Moustakas prepares to practice Monday during a brief workout in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals and San Francisco Giants are scheduled to play Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 2-foot-tall image of deer in multicolored neon with a bull’s-eye on its tail is affixed to a wall in the Kansas City Royals locker room. It hangs between the stalls of Aaron Crow and Tim Collins, and has a “W” underneath a crown.

ARLINGTON, Texas third-string quarterback, a rookie cornerback and a fierce defensive stand pulled off led to a stunning upset in one of the NFL’s more storied rivalries Monday night, as Washington toppled the heavily favored Dallas Cowboys on their home turf, 20-17, in overtime.

Quarterback Colt McCoy was as cool as they come in overtime, not missing a throw as he marched Washington down field on five completions to Pierre Garcon, Jordan Reed and DeSean Jackson. Kai Forbath capped the drive with a 40-yard field goal.

But Dallas had a chance to win the game yet, with its three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo, who had been bounced from the game in the third quarter by a bone-jarring sack, back in for

LeBron James returned to Cleveland, Kevin Love joined him and suddenly the Cavaliers had the makings of the latest superteam.

The San Antonio Spurs are already one.

No big changes were necessary for the Spurs, who simply kept the gang together. They brought back nearly every piece from the team that annihilated James and the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals for their fifth championship.

James set off shortly after for a new start in his old home, where he will renew the quest for a championship that’s eluded Cleveland’s pro teams for half a century. The Spurs on Tuesday will begin chasing about the only thing that’s escaped them in the Gregg Popovich-Tim Duncan era: back-to-back titles.

“We know that every team is going to come out and give us everything they’ve got,” Spurs guard Danny Green said. “We’ve got a bigger target on our chest now and that’s what we want. … We’ve got to take on the challenge and be the ultimate competitors that we are.”

Teams will be coming just as hard at the Cavaliers, who didn’t win much more than draft lotteries after James bolted for Miami in 2010. But they were elevated to instant Eastern Conference favorites when James joined Kyrie Irving, the MVP of the All-Star game and the Basketball World Cup, and Love, the longtime Minnesota Timberwolves star.

Neither of those guys has even played in a postseason game, but inexperience — or anything else — won’t work as an excuse now that James is back in his familiar No. 23.

“It’s going to be a different challenge for them,” James said. “They were so accustomed to being the prey sneaking up on the predator.

Now it kind of changes.”

James and the Spurs could meet for the third straight June, a familiar NBA Finals plot with a new stage and co-stars. But both face significant challenges just to get there.

Derrick Rose’s return could lead a running of the Bulls right to the finals. Maybe Oklahoma City, once MVP Kevin Durant recovers from a broken foot, or the Los Angeles Clippers, looking to pay back recordspending new owner Steve Ballmer with a championship, could stand in the Spurs’ way.

“I don’t see it as a big question

By Michael Marot

INDIANAPOLIS — NCAA President Mark Emmert said Monday that findings from a recent investigation into academic fraud at the University of North Carolina are troubling, disturbing and shocking.

While Emmert said he would withhold final judgment until the NCAA completes its own investigation, the usually cautious former university president was downright blunt during a 20-minute interview with The Associated Press at its Indianapolis headquarters.

“Just based on the [Kenneth] Wainstein report, this is a Mark case that potentially Emmert strikes at the heart of what higher education is about,” Emmert said Monday. “Universities are supposed to take absolutely most seriously the education of their students, right? I mean that’s why they exist, that’s their function in life. If the Wainstein report is accurate, then there was severe, severe compromising of all those issues, so it’s deeply troubling. … It’s absolutely disturbing that we find ourselves here right now.”

North Carolina athletic department spokesman Steve Kirschner said the school would not comment on Emmert’s remarks.

The report, authored by a former Justice Department official who conducted an internal investigation into the NCAA’s own enforcement department scandal in 2013, was released last week. It detailed how academic fraud in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies department went on for nearly two decades. According to Wainstein, the “shadow curriculum” involved more than involved more than 3,100 students — about half of whom were athletes.

The NCAA has been on the defensive as well.

In August, former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon won a federal court case that could force schools to put as much as $5,000 per year into a trust fund that college athletes could collect after they leave school. NCAA attorneys are expected to appeal that decision in November. And recently, former Clemson football player Martin Jenkins went to court, seeking to eliminate the NCAA’s ability to control scholarship cost controls.

If O’Bannon prevails on appeal and Jenkins wins his case, Emmert said it would create an unprecedented college landscape.

That may happen anyway.

The NCAA’s board of directors meets Thursday, less than four weeks after the five richest football conferences submitted requests seeking greater autonomy to expand scholarships to include the full cost-ofattendance, multi-year scholarships and lifetime scholarships that would allow players to return to school and finish their degrees. Emmert said he supported all three measures and a fourth, which would improve health insurance.

Stake & stakes: Michigan tries to hold it together

Michigan head coach Brady Hoke, right, talks with defensive coordinator Greg Mattison during the first half of Saturday’s game against Michigan State in East Lansing, Mich.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Eric J. Hedlund, ehedlund@sfnewmexican.com

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Brady Hoke spent much of his 20-minute news conference Monday talking about stakes — one that started the latest cringe-inducing moment for Michigan football and what’s left to play for in this season of discontent.

Michigan (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten) enters the stretch on Saturday with a homecoming game against Indiana and needing to win three of four to become

bowl-eligible.

Hoke said he has not talked to his players about making it to the postseason. The focus is on the Hoosiers (3-4, 0-3) and keeping a team that has fallen apart on the field from giving up.

“We have talked about this being homecoming,” Hoke said.

“We have talked about as a team staying together and the way they came in [Sunday], I think there’s a huge commitment on our football team to each other.”

Angels won Game 7 the following night.

Yost hopes history repeats and Ventura is energized by the Kauffman Stadium crowd.

“Trust me, if we’re in this position, I would much rather be here than there with our fans. I think home-field advantage is huge,” he said after the team arrived back home at about 4:30 a.m. “It’s going to be a lot funner going into Game 6 here than it would be in San Francisco, that’s for sure.”

The Giants spent the night at home, chartered with player families on the flight and reached Kansas City about 12½ hours later.

With the shift to the AL ballpark, designated hitters return: Billy Butler for the Royals and Michael Morse for the Giants.

San Francisco’s Tim Hudson and Kansas City’s Jeremy Guthrie would be the likely Game 7 starters if the Series is extended to Wednesday.

And lurking is Madison Bumgarner, who pitched a four-hit shutout to win Game 5 on Sunday. Bumgarner, 4-0 in Series play with a record-low 0.29 ERA, could come out of the bullpen on two days’ rest for what would be his first relief appearance since throwing two scoreless innings in Game 6 of the 2010 NL Championship Series.

He wouldn’t estimate how long he could go.

“I’m not a big pitch-count guy,” he said. “So as long as you keep getting outs and you feel good, you should stay out there.”

NBA: Five Western teams have potential to reach the finals Continued from Page B-1 mark in the East. LeBron and Love and Irving will be in the Eastern Conference finals. I think Chicago will find their way there if their 2 and 3 hold up and if Rose is Rose again,” ABC/ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy said. “But out West, to me there are like five teams you could say, ‘I could see them advancing to the finals.’ ” None has the continuity of the Spurs, who brought back 14 of the players who had confetti falling on their heads after Game 5. They won’t be in top form for a while because of injuries, especially NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard’s eye infection, but they still stand out even among the other top teams in the loaded West.

“I think we’re all right next to each other — other than the Spurs,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “The Spurs are better than all of us. I don’t think there’s any question about that and so we have to catch the Spurs.”

Here are other things to watch as the NBA season begins: WILL OKC BE OK? Durant is likely out until December because of a broken bone in his right foot. He carried the Thunder through the absence of Russell Westbrook last season, and now Westbrook may need to raise his game to keep Oklahoma City among the West leaders.

WELCOME BACK Rose and Kobe Bryant are back after knee injuries kept both former MVPs sidelined

most of last season. Only Rose has realistic title hopes, as Bryant’s Lakers could be headed for another rough season after losing a franchiserecord 55 games in 2013-14.

KEEP PACE? Eastern Conference finalists last season, the Indiana Pacers lost All-Star Paul George to a broken foot and Lance Stephenson to Charlotte in free agency, leaving a team that struggled to score without its two best offensive players.

The Pacers will still defend, but can they find enough points to stay in the playoff picture in an improved conference?

OH, CANADA! Even with Steve Nash’s career possibly over because of a back injury, there could be around a dozen Canadians on NBA rosters, topped by Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett, the last two No. 1 overall picks who were dealt from Cleveland to Minnesota in the Love trade.

TAKE A BREAK Look for fresher players to start the second half of the season after the NBA extended the All-Star break to give teams at least a week off around the Feb. 13-15 weekend in New York.

St. Mike’s coach ‘Wax’ Garcia resigns Garcia also DC of football team

By Will Webber The New Mexican

Calling it the toughest decision he’s ever made, Joaquin Garcia — the mountain of a man known to one and all as “Coach Wax” — announced he was stepping down as head wrestling coach at St. Michael’s.

Currently serving as the defensive coordinator for the school’s football team, Garcia was also an assistant coach for the track and field program.

His resignation becomes official on Nov. 9.

He said he’s leaving to accept a full-time position with the state.

His first day will be Nov. 10, meaning he will remain the primary play caller for the Horsemen football team’s defense through the regular season finale that weekend against second-ranked Ruidoso.

“By far it’s the toughest thing

Known as ‘Wax,’ Joaquin Garcia became defensive coordinator for St. Michael’s football team this season, in addition to his work as wrestling coach. JANE PHILLIPS/NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO

I’ve ever had to do,” Garcia said. “But this is one of those things I don’t really have a choice with. I have to do what’s best for my family.”

Garcia’s tenure with the St. Michael’s wrestling program was highlighted by a pair of state championships as a head coach and one as an assis-

tant. He served as an assistant under Pat Aranda when the Horsemen won it all in 2010, then was the co-head coach the following season when they finished third.

The program rebounded to win back-to-back state titles in 2012 and 2013.

In the past he has been the

head football coach at his alma mater, West Las Vegas, and an assistant coach for Hall of Famer Eric Roanhaus at Clovis.

Wrestling season begins next Monday, leaving St. Michael’s little time to find Garcia’s replacement. When asked, he said it was his hope that one of his assistants would be named as head coach.

“When I talked to the team they all understood,” Garcia said. “They know that it’s a family thing and I have to do what’s best for them. I know the timing isn’t the best and, believe me, if there were a way I could stay here as a coach and keep this job I’d do it. But it’s a new job and there’s not a lot of flexibility with what I have to do.”

The St. Michael’s football team, now 7-1 after a rout of Albuquerque Hope Christian last weekend, visits Portales on Halloween night and returns home to face Ruidoso on Nov. 8.

Today

’Skins: Many predicted a Cowboys victory Continued from Page B-1 could actually beat Dallas (6-2) drew laughter from a CBS NFL Today crew that included football luminaries Bill Cowher, Boomer Esiason and Tony Gonzalez. And the entire panel of experts in ESPN’s pregame show picked against the Redskins.

It was the latest installment of a rivalry that spans 54 years and for decades was considered the NFL’s best rivalry for the excellence of both teams, which boast eight Super Bowl championships between them, and the enmity of their rabid fan bases.

While Monday night’s game was hardly football at its best — with multiple turnovers and missed tackles — it was wildly entertaining, with dramatic swings of momentum.

And for McCoy, a one-time

hero at the University of Texas, which he led to 45 victories before embarking on an NFL career that never took flight, it marked the most triumphant of homecomings.

Washington was on its third quarterback entering the game, with McCoy supplanting turnover-prone Kirk Cousins.

The Redskins’ running game had been a disappointment.

The defensive backfield was cobbled together with aging veterans and inexperienced youngsters, had been too easily exploited.

But the game didn’t get off to the start that pundits and prognosticators expected.

Washington took a 3-0 lead on a 44-yard field goal by Kai Forbath.

Strong safety Brandon Meriweather flew in for a sack that dropped Tony Romo for a

12-yard loss and snuffed out the Cowboys’ opening drive. Romo fared no better on the Cowboys’ second drive, which ended on another sack, this one by middle linebacker Perry Riley Jr. And the Cowboys’ third series ended with Meriweather forcing a fumble that rookie Trent Murphy recovered on the Dallas 25. What seemed like a certain three points, and possibly seven, yielded nothing. McCoy threw deep to wide receiver Andre Roberts in the back of the end zone, but the ball was intercepted by J.J. Wilcox.

Washington’s defense exacted revenge. Breeland forced the ball from DeMarco Murray and Meriweather recovered. McCoy hit Jackson for a 49-yard completion. But the drive went nowhere.

A Dallas drive of improvisa-

tion and grit followed. Romo lofted a desperation toss to Murray, who outran Murphy for a 24-yard gain. From third and five, threw to Dez Bryant, who grabbed the ball with one hand and dragged free safety Ryan Clark into the end zone with him for the Cowboys’ first score.

With it, Dallas took a 7-3 lead.

The defense’s third sack of the night — this one, by Ryan Kerrigan — kept Dallas from adding to its 7-3 lead at the break.

Romo, just 10 months removed from back surgery, was shaken up on his fourth sack of the night and after several minutes’ delay was helped off the field.

With the score still knotted and less than two minutes remaining, Romo re-entered the game, but it was fruitless.

Michigan: Speculation about Hoke’s future Continued from Page B-1 This is nowhere near what was expected of the Wolverines in their fourth year under Hoke. A roster stocked four straight top-25 recruiting classes figured to at least take a step forward after going 7-6 last year.

Instead, the slide has continued and what’s left is almost nonstop speculation about if or when Hoke will be fired.

“I think those things will be talked about at the end of the season,” said Hoke, who is 29-17 overall at Michigan, but 5-11 since starting last season 5-0. “Have I talked to anybody about those things? No. I don’t worry myself about those things. I’m confident about what we’re doing.”

Michigan brought in Doug Nussmeier this season and paid him $850,000 to fix the offense and develop quarterback Devin Gardner. It hasn’t worked. The Wolverines rank 92nd in the nation in yards per play (5.26), and Gardner still gives the ball away constantly. Michigan is second-to-last in FBS in turnover margin at minus-14.

Hoke said Gardner will start against Indiana.

“We’re as upset and frustrated as anybody out there,” offensive lineman Jack Miller said. “This team is resilient and there is a lot of fight in it and there is not another option than to go out and compete every Saturday and do it for each other.”

Hoke’s future seems to be a foregone conclusion among many of the Michigan faithful. Their wrath has shifted to his boss,

athletic director Dave Brandon, the former Wolverines football player and Domino’s Pizza CEO who has led the athletic department since 2010.

The Michigan Daily student newspaper reported Sunday that 2,000 T-shirts with “We support the team, the team, the team. #FireDaveBrandon” will be distributed in the student section during Saturday’s game.

New university president Mark Schlissel, the former provost at Brown University, assured the board of regents this month that he was sensitive to their concerns about the direction of the football program and the athletic department and open to their thoughts.

“I’m being thoughtful and deliberative in examining these issues,” he was quoted as saying by MLive.com. “This university deserves nothing less than my careful, deep consideration.

“I’d like to thank the regents in particular for their help and advice in these issues as I work closely with them to carefully consider our way forward.”

University spokesmen said Brandon and Schlissel were both unavailable to comment on Monday, the day after another humbling weekend for Michigan football.

As if getting pounded again by Michigan State wasn’t bad enough, there was also the stake-plant fiasco. Linebacker Joe Bolden took a tent stake that had been used by Hoke on Friday to illustrate the need for

teamwork and planted it in the turf at Spartans Stadium on Saturday before the game.

Michigan State, which never misses a chance to feel disrespected by Michigan, took offense and beat the Wolverines 35-11 for its sixth win in the last seven meetings.

Hoke publicly apologized to Michigan State on Sunday for the stake stunt and called Spartans coach Mark Dantonio.

Hoke said Monday the apology was all his idea.

He said he knew his players had taken the stake onto the field before the game started, but because he leaves the locker room after the players he had no way of stopping them from spiking it.

Hoke said Bolden would not be disciplined.

“Joe feels as bad as anybody,” Hoke said.

“There was no disrespect intended for anybody.”

After the Wolverines play Indiana, they’re on the road against Northwestern, host Maryland and travel to Ohio State.

The goals left — aside from beating the Buckeyes, which is never a small thing for Michigan — are modest.

Hoke said he’s not concerned about keeping his team motivated and in the moment. And he showed he can still have a laugh during tough times.

As he wrapped up on Monday, a reporter asked Hoke what’s his favorite steak.

“Cowboy cut,” he said, with chuckle and thanked everybody for coming.

UNC: Case draws the harshest comments Continued from Page B-1 If approved, the power-conference schools and everyone else could be competing on uneven playing fields.

Then there’s the divergent paths No. 9 Georgia and No. 2 Florida State have taken since their star football players were accused of receiving improper benefits from autograph sales.

Bulldogs running back Todd Gurley has missed the last two games after the school suspended him indefinitely so it

could investigate. The defending national champion Seminoles have allowed Winston, last year’s Heisman Trophy winner, to continue playing — a distinction not lost on Emmert.

While he declined to talk specifically about the Florida State case, he acknowledged other schools have been forced to vacate wins when they use ineligible players.

“From the facts that we know today, publicly, Georgia’s behavior has been com-

mendable,” he said. “They, apparently, saw something that concerned them, and they dealt with it directly and their athletic department seems to have handled that very, very appropriately based on what we know today.

“When a school has information about inappropriate behavior that might render a student-athlete ineligible, then they’re under an obligation to respond. If it turns out later that they did know and did have facts that demonstrated

that someone was ineligible and they played them anyway, then sure those wins can be vacated and that’s happened many times.”

But it was the details of the North Carolina case that drew Emmert’s harshest comments.

“When you look at what we all know today, the Wainstein report, and just based upon that,” Emmert said, “you look at the, I look at these facts, like everyone, and I find them shocking.”

N.M. School for the Deaf sweeps Graceway Christian Amberley Luna had a dozen aces, 15 service points and a match-high 19 kills to lead the New Mexico School for the Deaf to a straight-sets win on the road in Albuquerque against Graceway Christian.

The senior captain had 15 service points and eight assists, leading the Lady Roadrunners to a 25-18, 25-21, 25-21 sweep of the Lady Lions. The win gets NMSD (8-9, 5-5) back to .500 in District 1A, leaving it in sole possession of fourth place with two matches remaining in the regular season.

The Lady Roadrunners will host Victory Christian on Tuesday, then face district co-leader Coronado in the regular season finale on Thursday.

Freshman Janell Miller chipped in with nine blocks and seven kills from her spot along the front line. Margaret Appa added 10 service points, six kills and 13 assists.

The win was the second sweep of the season against Graceway Christian.

“We were treating it as a preview for next week, so we were bringing in different players in different situations because we have some big nights coming up,” said Amanda Lujan, NMSD head coach.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Oct. 28, the 301st day of 2014. There are 64 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Oct. 28, 1914, Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, sparked World War I, was sentenced in Sarajevo to 20 years’ imprisonment (he died in 1918); four conspirators were sentenced to death.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You will be more restrained than usual as you seek out a more effective solution to a problem.

Tonight: Be imaginative.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be questioning a choice you’ve recently made that involves someone who can be a bit of a handful. Tonight: Opt for some cozy moments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your emotional qualities help reinforce your innate intuitiveness. A loved one could be more in touch with his or her feelings.

Tonight: Enjoy the person you are with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You’ll feel ready and energized. Your imagination will open up to many possibilities. Tonight: Consider what Halloween costume you might like to wear.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You have a lot to share, and so do others. It might be difficult to relax and socialize in a very demanding situation.

Tonight: Do what you want.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

False accusation follows reader Dear Annie: When I was a teenager, one of my cousins tried to molest me when we were at our grandmother’s house. He tried to force a kiss on me and said because I was older, I should learn about sex and teach it to him. I fought him off.

I was afraid to tell our grandmother, because she would have been so upset. Grandma is gone now. The problem is, this cousin told his parents I tried to molest him. Consequently, they have treated me terribly. His mother told me she didn’t want me around her daughter because I might hurt her. She is nasty and belligerent around me, even now.

I don’t like that they have repeated this false accusation to other relatives, telling them I am a bad person. I don’t think talking to my cousin would get me anywhere. Should I speak to my uncle about what happened, even at this point in time? — Concerned Dear Concerned: We hope you have told your parents, as well as your aunt and uncle, the truth about this accusation. It’s not uncommon for young cousins to “practice” on each other, and it’s very likely that your overly hormonal cousin was embarrassed by your reaction and blamed you to deflect his own culpability. It’s also understandable that his parents would believe him, especially if you didn’t tell your side of the story at the time. If your cousin is an adult now, he might be more amenable to taking responsibility for his actions, especially if you approach him without blame, simply asking him to do the right thing and help you clear this up.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our late 50s, married for 30 years, and we have no children. Several years ago, the issue of wills came up. We had different opinions on the way our estate should be divided. The end result is, we still don’t have wills or trusts set up.

I think half of the estate should go to my side of the family and half to hers. She thinks more should go to her family because there are more of them. The nieces and nephews on her side

are not doing as well financially as those on my side of the family. She also has earned a larger income for most of our marriage, and I’m certain it factors into her thinking, even if she won’t voice it. I don’t believe that should even be part of the argument. I’m of the opinion that a marriage is a 50/50 proposition, and this should be no different. My inheritance from my parents went right into our account with no question, and we always have had shared bank accounts.

What do you think? — John Dear John: You’re missing one small reality: Unless you and your wife die together, one of you will inherit from the other, at which point, the deciding vote belongs to the surviving spouse. Please consult with an attorney who specializes in estate law and can help you sort through the “yours, mine, ours” aspect of your assets and distribute them in the most equitable way.

Dear Annie: The recent letters you’ve printed about children being disruptive in church have prompted me to offer a different view.

Several years ago, I was fortunate to be in a church service (Lutheran) in Mexico, and there I saw an entirely different approach.

The children were allowed to wander freely around the sanctuary, run up and down the aisles, and, well, be children. Yes, they made a little noise, but not that much, and they were actually happy to be in church, rather than viewing it as something to be endured. Maybe it’s not the children who are the problem, but the adults who have unrealistic expectations of how children should behave. Should we not all “make a joyful noise”? — An Old Grouch Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
