GENE THORP AND DAN KEATING/THE WASHINGTON POST

States, cities lead push for higher minimum wage Santa Fe at forefront; Democrats see political gain in ballot measures By Mike DeBonis and Reid Wilson The Washington Post

States and municipalities across the country are leading a localized push to raise the minimum wage, driven largely by Democrats, who see an opening to appeal to working-class Americans at a time of growing inequity. Efforts in Congress to raise the national minimum wage above $7.25 an hour have stalled. But numerous local governments are forging ahead, in some cases voting to dramatically increase the pay of lowwage workers. The efforts, while supported by

many unions, threaten to create a patchwork of wage rates that could mean workers in some areas will be entitled to vastly less than those working similar jobs nearby. The campaigns reach from coast to coast. As minimum-wage fights have gone increasingly local, Democrats have led the charge, working to define themselves as the party of blue-collar workers while casting Republicans as defenders of corporations and big business. Backing minimum-wage increases, even in otherwise conservative states, sharpens that definition, they believe. Minimum-wage increases have broad public support, and income inequality issues have touched a nerve in many places. “When the pope starts criticizing

hile hundreds of shoppers flocked to big-box stores for new TVs and other electronics, plenty of small, local stores around town benefited from the flurry of holiday shoppers on Black Friday. Consider Ross See and his wife, Brenna, who came from Oklahoma City to visit relatives and decided to do some holiday shopping for their 18-month-old daughter and nieces. They ended up at Play, 505 Cerrillos Road, a downtown toy and clothing store that features a rope swing hanging from the ceiling and a push scooter that any customer, child or adult, can ride. Ross See said he liked the store’s character because there’s nothing like it in Oklahoma City.

In brief

Thai protesters swarm army HQ BANGKOK — BANGKOK — Protesters forced their way onto the grounds of Thailand’s army headquarters on Friday, asking the military to support their increasingly aggressive campaign to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The army insisted it will not take sides in the dispute. In a letter addressed to the army chief, the protesters stopped short of calling for a coup but urged military leaders to “take a stand” in Thailand’s spiraling political crisis and state which side they are on. The crowd of 1,200 people stayed on the sprawling lawn of the Royal Thai Army compound for two hours before filing out peacefully. Army commander Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha responded with a call for the protests to be democratic and law-abiding. “Don’t try to make the army take sides because the army considers that all of us are fellow Thais,” Prayuth said in a statement. Yingluck has proposed talks but the protesters have rejected them.

Lawyer: Ajax killed suspect in slayings SANTA ANA, Calif. — A California man who was awaiting trial on murder charges in the deaths of six people, including four homeless men, died after ingesting Ajax in his jail cell, his lawyer said Friday. Itzcoatl Ocampo, 25, apparently accumulated the cleaning product while in custody, said his attorney, Michael Molfetta. Prosecutors alleged that Ocampo, a native of Mexico, stabbed four homeless men in what they called a serial thrill-kill rampage in late 2011 and early 2012. Ocampo, who was discharged from the Marines in 2010, also was facing murder charges in the deaths of a school friend’s mother and brother in October 2011. The Associated Press

Holiday shopping in full swing By Anne D’Innocenzio The Associated Press

illions of Americans turned out as the holiday buying season started earlier this year on Thanksgiving Day. But there’s still a lot of shopping left. While figures aren’t yet available on how many people shopped on the first two days of the holiday shopping season, crowds came early and often as more than a dozen major U.S. retailers stayed open for 24 hours or more on Thanksgiving through the day after known as Black Friday. But overall, The National Retail Federation predicts that 140 million shoppers planned to shop during the four-day holiday weekend that begins on Thanksgiving Day. And of those, about 23 percent, or 33 million shoppers, planned to do so on the actual holiday. So the challenge for retailers is to keep the momentum going through the weekend — and beyond. In years past, stores have had a robust start to the season by offering deep discounts only to see crowds disappear until the final days before Christmas when the big bargains pop up again. Overall, the retail trade group expects retail sales to be up 3.9 percent to $602 billion during the last two months of the year. That’s higher than last year’s 3.5 percent growth, but below the 6 percent pace seen before the recession. And retail experts said it’s going to be difficult for stores to get shoppers to keep coming back into stores without bargains. “Can stores continue the momentum after a promotional November?” said Laura Gurski,a partner and global leader of the consumer product & retail practice at A.T. Kearney, a global

management consultancy. “How do you top it in December?” Despite that there is a lot of the holiday shopping season left, this year may cement the transformation of the start of the holiday shopping season into a two-day affair. For nearly a decade, Black Friday had been the official start of the shopping season between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was originally named Black Friday because it was when retailers turned a profit, or moved out of the red and into the black. Retailers opened early and offered deep discounts. But in the past few years, store chains have been opening on Thanksgiving. That has led some to question how much further Black Friday will creep into Thanksgiving, which along with Christmas is one of only two days a year that most stores are closed. “Black Friday is now Gray Friday,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. It’s unclear whether the early openings will lead shoppers to spend more over the two days or simply spread sales out. IBM Benchmark, which tracks e-commerce for 800 retailers, said online sales on Thanksgiving were up 19.7 percent from last year. Online sales on Black Friday rose 9 percent, based on preliminary data. But not everyone was in a holiday spirit. Nevada: Las Vegas, Nev., police say a shopper carrying a big-screen TV home from a Target on Thanksgiving was shot by a thief. Police Lt. David Gordon says the victim was carrying the TV at an apartment complex when a suspect fired

warning shots, prompting him to drop the appliance. Gordon says the robber snatched the TV and took it to a vehicle, and the victim tried to wrestle it back. Florida: A father faces felony child neglect charges after a Florida Highway Patrol trooper spotted a baby left alone in a car outside a Best Buy store. The incident happened near Orlando. Authorities say trooper Edy Rivera saw the infant in a car seat inside a locked car. He went into the store, looking for the vehicle’s owner. The owner told troopers he thought his wife had the baby. California: Authorities say a police officer suffered a broken wrist as he broke up a brawl between two men waiting in line for Black Friday shopping deals at a Southern California Wal-Mart store. The fight occurred about 7 p.m. Thanksgiving night when store managers decided to open the doors early to accommodate more than 3,000 waiting people. Police say there were three fights at the store in Rialto. Two of them were inside over merchandise; the third was outside, when the officer got injured. Virginia: Authorities in rural southwest Virginia say a dispute in a parking lot crowded with holiday shoppers turned violent, with one throwing a punch and another responded by cutting the man with a knife and brandishing a rifle. Both men were charged Thursday night after the altercation outside a Wal-Mart in Tazewell County that sent panicked shoppers scattering.

PORTLAND, Maine — Holly Maniatty creates music — for the deaf. Teaming American Sign Language with dance moves and body language, she brings musical performances alive for those who can’t hear. Her clients are a who’s who of rock, pop and hip-hop: Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Mumford and Sons, Jay-Z, Billy Joel, Marilyn Manson, U2, Beastie Boys and Wu-Tang Clan, to name a few. Videos of her signing have become popular online. There’s the video of Springsteen jumping down from the stage at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and joining Maniatty and another interpreter. There, he dances and signs to “Dancing in the Dark.” “Deaf people were commenting, ‘Oh, the Boss knows he has deaf fans. That’s awesome,’ ” she said. “When artists connect with interpreters, they connect with their deaf fans.” In another video, rap artist Killer Mike approaches Maniatty in front of the stage after noticing her animated signing. “I’ve never seen that before,” he says to her before challenging her to sign a profane phrase, which she does wholeheartedly as the crowd hoots and hollers. At a Wu-Tang performance, Method Man took notice of her signing, came down from the stage and joined her. “He said, ‘That’s dope,’ and gave me a hug and a fist pump,” she said. This month, she signed at New England’s largest drag queen show as performers sashayed down the runway and lip-synched to booming music. Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin, who’s deaf, took to Twitter this year when she saw a video of Maniatty performing at the Wu-Tang show: “Wu tang interpreter is rapping in sign BIG time!!” The 33-year-old Maniatty, who lives outside Portland, learned sign language while studying it at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. She decided to make a living of it despite counselors’ advice against it. She works for a company that connects deaf people with other people over videophones that are connected online to computers or TVs. But from mid-April to mid-September, she travels for paid gigs interpreting all types of music. It’s hard work. To prepare for concerts and festivals, Maniatty studies the musicians for whom she’ll be signing. She learns their lyrics, their dialect, their every move. Jay-Z, for instance, is open and boisterous on stage, while Eminem slouches. “As much as you’re able to study those movements and incorporate them into your interpretation,” she said, “you really breathe that artist in, and it’s more authentic for people.”

Protests in Ukraine call for leader to go KIEV, Ukraine — As many as 10,000 protesters crowded into the center of Ukraine’s capital Friday night to demand the president’s resignation after he shelved a landmark agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia. An estimated 2,000 police in helmets and riot gear surrounded the demonstrators on Independence Square. Protests have been held in Kiev for the past week since President Viktor Yanukovych backed away from the E.U. agreement. It was unclear how long the protests against Yanukovych would be allowed to continue. Yanukovych, the focus of those protests, is unlikely to risk allowing another such huge demonstration of discontent.

The coalition acknowledged the incident Friday morning, saying that a child was apparently killed during an operation targeting “an insurgent riding a motorbike.” The intended target, who was also killed, was a “midlevel Taliban commander.”

leaders were rushing to try to control the fallout of the strike, which also wounded two women. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, called Karzai to apologize. The civilian casualties couldn’t have come at a worse time for U.S. diplomats, who have watched with dismay over the past week as Karzai appeared increasingly dismissive of administration plans to keep up to 10,000 U.S. soldiers

the initial stages of seeking insurance on the site. But the upgrade also meant that the site would be unavailable overnight from 9 p.m. Eastern time on Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday. Administration officials have established a capacity goal of 80,000 consumers per hour being able to register and 320,000 people per hour who already have accounts being able to log in, according to federal officials familiar with this aspect of the project who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal details. The team has not yet attained its target of cutting the average load time across the site to no more than half a second, officials said, though it is running faster than before. The blitz to rehabilitate the site has entailed an unusual public and private partnership over the past five weeks. The White House rejected the idea of turning over the work of fixing the site mainly to Silicon Valley allies, some of whom served as the president’s campaign operatives, deciding instead to selectively tap a handful of them to help steer the project. Michael “Mikey” Dickerson, a Google employee who is on leave and volunteered on both of Obama’s campaigns, has led the twice-daily calls in which the entire team has discussed ongoing problems and how to solve them.

Frenzy: Newcomer finds S.F. shopping scene ‘mellow’ Continued from Page A-1 “It’s just not the normal thing,” he said. He added that he was able to get into Play without any trouble, while fighting crowds at larger stores might have been a challenge. Store manager Jennie Johnsrud said business started well Friday, and she noticed that children’s furniture and scooters were among the day’s bestsellers. Everything in the store was discounted 25 percent. Johnsrud said the store had relocated to its spot in the Luna Center from the nearby Sanbusco Market Center within the last two weeks, so she was pleased with the amount of holiday business the store was attracting. So far, she said, old and new customers alike have found the new location, and she expects business to grow as more stores move into the new shopping district. Local thrift shop Back on the Rack, 1248 Siler Road, stayed busy throughout the day, thanks to a 50 percent storewide discount, along with complimentary coffee and doughnuts. Store owners and partners Sue and Stefanie Watkins stock unique artworks, such as a portrait of Albert Einstein next to a mushroom cloud, hundreds of dusty paperbacks, old VCR and VHS tapes, and even collectibles, like vintage Erector construction sets. They said customers flocked in early in the morning, and people mostly bought smaller gift items.

Sue Watkins said before Thanksgiving, shoppers targeted furniture and Christmas decorations. And Stefanie Watkins said the couple’s eBay store, Back-at-the-Rack, had been moving a lot of goods, too. “We get people looking for unique gifts, or those looking for a deal,” she said. “They’re looking for that little something extra you can’t get in Wal-Mart.” That was the case for Josh Barnard, a recent transplant from Ohio. He said he heard a rumor about the store’s good deals on books, which drew him to the store. Overall, he said, he felt that Santa Fe’s shopping environment was “mellow” compared to the Midwest. While hordes of shoppers were hitting stores around town, many were searching for holiday deals at yard sales. Jan and Kathy Nelson were among the local people who hosted Black Friday sales at their homes — with some success. The husband-andwife duo admitted they thought a yard sale would face tough competition on the nation’s most popular shopping day, but they were pleasantly surprised by dozens of shoppers who came by in the morning. Kathy Nelson said the couple’s sale date was a coincidence — they were planning to move out of their home by Monday, and they needed to clear it out. Jan Nelson said they mostly sold small kitchen items, some artwork and a lot of furniture. The couple said they even sold the chairs they had been sit-

That’s compared with nearly 48 percent of tourists in Colorado, Arizona and Utah who say they intend to return to those states. These figures are based on surveys by Longwoods International. Two major sets of New Mexico tourists — young people and people from California — have low rates of “intend to return,” the annual report says. Only about 16 percent of Californians say they intend to return to New Mexico, while 27 percent of visitors between the ages of 18 and 34 say they want to come back. However, 46 percent those in that age group who visited Colorado, Arizona and Utah say they intend to return. The report doesn’t explain why Californians and young tourists are less inclined to want to come back to New Mexico

rary art and eventually took on a partner, Arlene LewAllen. They changed the gallery’s name to the Horwitch LewAllen Gallery. In 1991, Elaine Horwitch died. LewAllen continued to run the gallery under the same name, and sold a portion of the business to Geoffrey and Helen Cline, former owners of Cline Fine Art on Canyon Road, in 1996. LewAllen continued to manage the gallery until her death in 2002. At that point, Gardner and Marvel of Dallas bought the business and moved to Santa Fe to run it. In 2008, they completed the three-story, steel-and-glass building at 1613 Paseo de Peralta, just across the street from Warehouse 21. “We had kept the downtown location after we built the building here in order for our clients to kind of get used to the idea of coming over to the Railyard,” Marvel said Friday. “But our lease comes up at the end of the year, and we’re not renewing it. We are centralizing our Santa Fe operations to our Railyard building.” Both Santa Fe locations carry paintings and other artworks by some of New Mexico’s best-known contemporary artists, including Joe Ramiro Garcia, Jess Blanchard, Fritz Scholder, Forrest Moses, John Fincher, Woody Gwyn, Brad Ellis, Marcos Petrus and Nathan Oliveira. There is no plan to change the mission of the gallery. It’s not yet known what will happen to the two-story gallery on West Palace Avenue that is still owned by Horwitch’s family. County Assessor’s Office records indicate the property is owned under the name Double A Investments LLC of Scottsdale and valued for tax purposes at $1.29 million.

ting on during the sale. The Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society also got into the spirit of Black Friday — with a two-for-one deal. The shelter held an all-day event outside PetSmart, offering would-be pet owners the chance to get two animals for a single adoption fee. At the Sanbusco Market Center, On Your Feet manager River Garrison said the shoe store wasn’t offering any special Black Friday deals, but that didn’t stop customers from coming in. Gar-

rison said shoppers were focusing on warm boots and slippers, but the store also was selling all manner of flats and other shoes. Father-daughter duo John and Gabriela Igini were searching for a new pair of snow boots at the local shoe store, even if it meant spending a little more. “I don’t do Wal-Mart,” John Igini said. “It’s disgusting and gross. I am sorry, but no deal is worth that. And I don’t need Black Friday to go shopping.”

Tourism: Neighbor states see bigger marketing hikes Continued from Page A-1 31.2 million visits in 2011. The previous high was in 2008, with 31.4 million visits. The figures are based upon the New York-based Longwoods International, which studies American leisure and business travel behavior. Tourists spent an estimated $5.9 billion in New Mexico last year, which generated $612 million in state and local tax revenue. In 2011, tourists spent just over $5.5 billion in the state. Department officials believe these higher numbers are an indication that last year’s $2 million advertising budget increase for tourism marketing was successful. However, during that time, surrounding states have seen even bigger increases in their ad budgets. Arizona increased its ad budget by $13 million, while Colorado increased its budget by $3.3 million and Utah by $4 million. To “build on the momentum” of last year’s tourism increase, the New Mexico Tourism Department is asking

for a $2.5 million budget increase for advertising next year. There were positive tourism statistics in several areas, Jacobson told legislators. For instance, this summer saw a record number of tourism-related jobs. In June 2013, the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported that leisure and hospitality employment in New Mexico surpassed pre-recession levels. Leisure and hospitality employment increased 5.5 percent — which amounts to 4,767 jobs — over the summer of 2012. The number of overnight trips to the state in 2012 actually were flat, at 14.5 million. But according to the Tourism Department’s annual research report, published in September, this was because of a decrease in what the tourism industry calls “nonmarketable overnight trips,” which include business trips, trips to visit friends and family, and other travel not influenced by marketing. “Marketable” overnight trips to New

Gallery: Future of Palace site unclear

Mexico were up 11.3 percent to 6.9 million last year. On the national level, marketable trips increased 9 percent, while business trips declined. This summer’s lodging receipts jumped nearly 9 percent over last year’s figure, lawmakers were told last week. There’s also more Internet interest. State Tourism Department website visits doubled this summer, while visits to the state’s Digital Vacation Guide increased by more than 250 percent. New Mexico tourists are getting younger, the annual report says. Last year, 60 percent of all visitors were under the age of 45. But while these figures indicate the state has been successful in attracting tourists to New Mexico, getting them to come back is another thing. A significant area of weakness, according to the annual research report, is in the area of tourists who say they intend to return. Just under 30 percent of New Mexico visitors last year said they intended to return.

Wage: If 1968 minimum had kept pace, it would be worth $10.77 Continued from Page A-1 trickle-down economics, you know the gulf between rich and poor has become too much to ignore,” said Tom Lindenfeld, a Democratic consultant with close ties to labor unions. President Barack Obama has called for an increase in the national rate, mentioning it in his most recent State of the Union address and recently signing on to a proposal from congressional Democrats to set a $10.10 hourly rate. But congressional Republicans have opposed any increase, saying it would hurt employers and curtail job growth. “When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in February. Many states long ago set their rates slightly above the federal minimum, and a handful of cities — notably San Francisco and Santa Fe — joined them. The District of Columbia has set its minimum wage at $1 above the federal standard since 1993. But the recent push is distinguished by the number of jurisdictions involved and the magnitude of the increases proposed. “Congress can’t do anything right now, and even if they could, they wouldn’t even come close to the level that various cities and states around the country are looking at,” said Phil Mendelson, the Democratic chairman of the District of Columbia Council, which is expected to take an initial vote Tuesday setting the city’s minimum wage at $11.50 an hour by 2016. Councils in Maryland’s Montgomery and Prince George’s counties voted this week to reach $11.50 — higher than any rate in effect in the United States — by 2017. The coordinated effort emerged in recent months after local officials decided they could not wait for Congress or state legislators. This year, a group of unions, led by the Service Employees International Union, spurred efforts to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour for airline and restaurant employees at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport,

just south of Seattle. Voters in 2012 decided to increase the minimum wage in Albuquerque to $8.50 and have yearly cost-of-living bumps, beginning this year. The California legislature, which is dominated by Democrats, passed a law over Republican objections this year to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour by 2016. Massachusetts lawmakers also are considering a $10 wage. New Jersey voters endorsed an $8.25 wage this month, even while voting overwhelmingly to re-elect Republican Gov. Chris Christie, who opposed it. Even in red states, Democrats see opportunity in minimum-wage increases. Democrats are deep in the minority in legislatures in South Dakota and Arkansas, for instance. But both states allow for statewide referenda, and Democrats there are gathering signatures to put minimum-wage increases on the ballot in 2014. Just as Republicans used initiatives banning same-sex marriage as a way to boost turnout in 2004, Democratic candidates may find that sharing a ballot with a minimum-wage measure helps draw the contrast between the two parties. Democratic-held Senate seats in South Dakota and Arkansas are vulnerable in 2014, while Democratic incumbents in Arizona, including Reps. Ron Barber, Ann Kirkpatrick and Kyrsten Sinema, will face tough re-election fights. “Having minimum-wage measures on the ballot in certain states next year may prove electorally beneficial to Democrats,” said Carolyn Fiddler, a Democratic strategist at the Atlas Project. “It certainly seems to poll well generally.” Nonetheless, proposals to raise the minimum wage are hotly contested. Supporters and opponents of the $15 proposal in SeaTac, Wash., spent more than $2 million on advertising, mailings and polling — in a city with just 12,106 registered voters. The measure passed by 77 votes out of just more

than 6,000 cast, meaning supporters and opponents spent about $327 per vote. In the District of Columbia and nearby areas, the dynamics have had less to do with party politicking and more to do with the region’s rising cost of living and local frustrations over the unwillingness of congressional or state lawmakers to take action. In late August, Montgomery County (Md.) Council member Marc Elrich found himself on the National Mall listening to the anniversary speeches of the 1963 March on Washington. Speakers repeated how a $2 minimum wage won then by civil rights leaders had since eroded to a fraction of its buying power. “That stuff makes you think,” said Elrich, a Democrat. “The idea that we were in a better place 50 years ago — that’s pretty pathetic.” In this year’s legislative session, Maryland lawmakers took no action on bills that would have raised the state’s minimum wage to $10 an hour by mid-2015, in part because of staunch resistance from retailers and other employers. At the council’s first meeting after Labor Day, Elrich proposed a new county minimum of $12 an hour. The next week, a months-long battle in the District of Columbia over whether to force Wal-Mart and a few other large retailers to pay their workers a minimum wage of $12.50 came to a head. Mayor Vincent Gray, a Democrat, had vetoed a Mendelson-authored measure to require the higher wage. Mendelson couldn’t find the votes for an override, and supporters left city hall vowing to fight for a higher minimum wage for all workers instead. Soon after the defeat, Elrich approached Mendelson at the offices of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Mendelson said he would be interested in aiming for a regional increase in the minimum wage. It was a conversation Elrich had already had with Prince George’s County Council Chairman

Andrea Harrison, D-Springdale, at a government conference in August. “Mr. Elrich said, ‘Hey, I am working on a piece. Do you think you might be interested?’ ” Harrison recalled. “I said, ‘I am working on a piece, too,’ … and the rest is history.” Virginia jurisdictions were not included in the effort, the organizers said, because counties and cities in the commonwealth don’t have the power to set minimum wages. If they did, the effort probably would have crossed the Potomac River. “Personally, if I had the power to do it, I’d propose it in a New York minute,” said J. Walter Tejada, a Democrat who is chairman of the Arlington (Va.) County Board. In late September, Elrich, Mendelson and Harrision held a conference call from their offices. Elrich started the negotiation at $12. Mendelson called in, thinking he would be comfortable with $11.25. The numbers were arbitrary but not unjustifiable: Had the minimum wage from 1968 kept pace with inflation, it would be about $10.77. And a “living wage” in the region — sufficient to cover basic costs of living — is more than $13, according to several academic studies. They settled on $11.50 — a rate that, if in effect today, would be the nation’s highest. “At the end, it was ‘go forth … and get the votes,’ ” Elrich said. At its highest purchasing power, in the 1960s and 1970s, the nation’s minimum wage approached a rate of 50 percent of the country’s median wage. That’s a ratio economists say is still important in assessing its ability to keep low-income residents out of poverty. Under the proposals passed by Montgomery and Prince George’s and nearing approval in the District of Columbia, the ratio would be about 40 percent by the time the $11.50 hourly rate is reached in 2017. But barring action from Congress and the state legislatures, those jurisdictions will be surrounded by areas

guaranteeing substantially lower wages — as much as 30 percent less, if the current federal minimum holds. The effects of having such vastly different rates in the same metropolitan area are largely unknown. Stephen Fuller, an economist who directs the Center for Regional Analysis at the George Mason University School of Public Policy, said the raise will have an effect in terms of lost jobs, lost income, higher prices and lost sales to adjacent areas. While a higher minimum wage will be good for the workers, he said, “it cannot be thought of as being cost free.” But Pete Davis, an analyst with Center for Study of Responsive Law, a think tank headed by liberal activist Ralph Nader, said a lack of uniformity is a poor reason not to take action. “The D.C. area has one of the highest costs of living in the nation, so it makes sense that they are going to lead the charge on fighting back on inequality,” he said. Elrich said he is also fine with pricey urban areas having different minimum wages than more rural ones, where the cost of living is lower. “What’s right for Montgomery or the D.C. region as a whole may not be what’s right for another jurisdiction,” he said. The political ramifications of the Washington jurisdictions’ effort are likely to be clearer than the economic ones. A local Washington-area economy already under intense scrutiny for its ties to the federal government will be even more so as partisan observers try to determine whether every job lost or gained relates to some of the nation’s highest minimum-wage requirements. And Davis said he sees the effort as the start of something bigger, especially for urban areas: “When a region like D.C., Prince George’s and Montgomery can do it, and they are successful, people are going to start to realize you can do it in New York and Chicago and Dallas and across the country.”

energy resource, but so far they’ve mostly been something to avoid while drilling. National Energy Technology Laboratory director Anthony Cugini said at this year’s Deloitte Energy Conference that whoever has his job in the coming decades could be talking about a hydrate energy revolution. “These methane hydrates really create an opportunity that can move shale gas to the back page if you believe that. The resource is so large,” Cugini said. America already has a glut of cheap natural gas from shale and no immediate need to develop methane hydrates. Other nations, however, have far different energy needs and are pushing harder to get methane hydrates developed. The Japanese are paying so much to import natural gas that the cost of methane hydrates could make sense for them, said Tim Collette of the U.S. Geological Survey’s energy resources team. Some cost estimates for methane hydrates are 10 times higher or more than those of conventional natural gas. The Japanese hope to bring the

cost of production down and make it more competitive with other energy sources. Japan is also urgently looking for new energy as it moves away from nuclear following the Fukushima disaster, when three nuclear reactors melted down and radioactive material leaked out after an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. The energy consulting firm IHS Cera said it’s plausible to expect Japan to be using methane hydrates within 15 years. South Korea could be next. Like Japan, it’s a developed and wealthy nation without its own oil and gas. Asia could be the cradle of methane hydrates, as “necessity is often the mother of invention,” IHS analysts concluded in a recent report. A pair of methane hydrate breakthroughs happened in the past year. Researchers on the North Slope of Alaska released natural gas from ice crystals within the permafrost by injecting them with nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrate formation took in the carbon dioxide and released the methane, essentially exchanging molecules, while the research team lowered the pressure in the well to get the gas out. Then Japan produced a flow from deepwater deposits off its shores through a depressurization technique. That involves drilling a well into a formation and pumping out the water. That causes the gas to break free as a result of the difference in pressure between the underground hydrate deposit and the well. Charter, of The Ocean Foundation, said there are risks in developing methane hydrates. Those include blowouts and triggering of subsea landslides that release planet-warming methane into the atmosphere. “I would say right now they are at a similar development stage to that of the early Edison light bulbs, where half of them blew up,” he said.

CANA

WASHINGTON — Buried beneath the world’s oceans and the Arctic permafrost lies a global energy source that many think might dwarf today’s fracking revolution: huge reservoirs of natural gas trapped in ice crystals. They’re called methane hydrates and are sometimes known as “flammable ice.” If tapping methane hydrates ever becomes feasible, it once again would change the geopolitical map of the planet. Nations like Japan and India that lack their own conventional oil and gas resources suddenly could become energy power players. The U.S. Department of Energy says “methane hydrates may exceed the energy content of all other fossil fuels combined” and “could ensure decades of affordable natural gas and cut America’s foreign oil dependence.” But the possibility that fossil fuels could drive the world’s economies indefinitely — even the most conservative forecasts describe methane hydrates as a bounty greater than all other sources of natural gas combined — dismays many, who for decades have hoped scarcity eventually would wean the globe from its dependence on greenhouse gas-producing technologies. “Then you get into the question, are we going to stick with fossil fuels until we completely fry the atmosphere?” said Richard Charter, who is a senior fellow at the environmental group The Ocean Foundation and also a member of the Energy Department’s methane hydrates advisory committee. The International Energy Agency said in a November report that the viability of methane hydrates as a fuel source will depend on technological advances as well as climate change policies. Meeting goals to reduce carbon emissions will require cutting back on all fossil fuels, even those derived from ice. There’s also the fact that methane is a potent greenhouse gas when released into the atmosphere, the IEA noted, and great care is needed in harvesting it. There are huge challenges to producing natural gas from methane hydrates. But Japan hopes to come up with ways to develop the untapped resource within the next five to 10 years, and other nations are also pressing ahead on research, including the United States, which has vast amounts of the stuff beneath the permafrost of the Alaskan Arctic and deep in the Gulf of Mexico. Methane hydrates are formed at crushingly high pressure and frozen temperatures, a condition found at the bottom of the otherwise warm Gulf of Mexico. The ice crystals caused problems for BP’s equipment as it tried to contain the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf. Oil companies are well aware of their potential as an

Sunday march on state police substation follows outrage over chase, arrest of Tennessee woman By Andrew Oxford The Taos News

Will Channing has been helping American Indian youth find the right path for decades through the popular running program Wings of America

Some Taos residents are planning a march on Sunday to protest what they say is excessive use of force by the New Mexico State Police during the recent traffic stop of a Tennessee woman. Local organizers say they will march on the Taos substation of the state police Dec. 1 to denounce what they described in a statement as excessive use of force used by officers during their effort to apprehend Memphis resident Oriana Farrell. The group, organized largely through social media websites such as Facebook, also invited state police Chief Pete Kassetas to personally receive a letter outlining their concerns and demands. The note demands accountability for the officers involved in the incident while calling for a dialogue between community members and the law enforcement agency. “Improperly using a firearm isn’t tolerated by the State Police,” Kassetas stated in an email to The Taos News on Nov. 22, referring to the daytime chase in which a patrolman fired three rounds at a minivan carrying a Farrell and her five children as they fled a traffic stop for a second time after scuffling with an officer. Video footage of one patrolman firing at the minivan driven by Farrell has been shared widely on the Internet since it first aired on an Albuquerque television station Nov. 15. The incident followed three fatal shootings involving state police officers since Oct. 21 that have raised questions about the agency’s policies. “The investigation will determine if the use of force was appropriate given the circumstances,”

Teaching kids to fly By John Knoll For The New Mexican

ill Channing believes his life of social commitment has been fashioned in part by genetics. Channing, 62, the founder of Wings of America, traces his altruistic lineage through several generations of Channings who were community minded. It is for his involvement with Wings that Channing has been named one of the 10 Who Made a Difference honorees for 2013. “I’ve found inspiration from my family,” he said. “My father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and great-great-grandfather — all named William — were concerned about human rights and taught me a sense of community awareness. “My great-great-grandfather was a friend of Henry Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. He wrote a book, Thoreau, the Poet-Naturalist. After I read it, I also reflected on my uncle who was a Unitarian minister and advocate for women’s rights. I came to realize these guys were cool.”

In 1987, when Channing moved to Santa Fe from the East Coast after a successful stint as an art dealer, his community spirit manifested itself. “I felt a need to be involved culturally in the Southwest,” he said. “After visiting several pueblos and reservations, I came to realize the Native American kids’ huge social issues that needed to be addressed.” He said he talked with various elders in the communities and they made him realize there is a huge disconnect between families and the schools. “The suicide rate alarmed me,” he said. “I thought there must be a way to engage the kids. My research led me to realize that running might be a way to help because running has roots in the Native American spiritual tradition.” Since running was already a part of the Native American tradition that taught it as a way to be in spiritual harmony with the earth and sky, he said he thought a running program for Native kids might be a path to help. In 1988, with the advice of various

Native American leaders, including Billy Mills, an Oglala-Lakota Sioux who raced to a 10K gold medal in the 1964 Olympics, he started the Wings of America program. On Nov. 19, 1988, Wings of America sponsored its first race on Hopi Second Mesa. More than 200 Navajo and Hopi signed up for the race — and Wings has soared since. “We started on a shoestring,” he said. “It clicked from the beginning. We now have a Wings’ family.” Wings of America has grown and evolved. Since its inception 25 years ago, Wings has had more than 36,000 Native American students participate in its various running events and camps. In 1992, Wings sponsored its first twoday running camp in Chinle, Ariz. Channing said the idea of holding camps was to inspire and educate the kids on the value of running and the benefits associated with a healthy lifestyle. “After the first camp, I talked with Tom Mason, who was the track coach at Chinle

Proposed national park would honor Manhattan Project By Jeri Clausing The Associated Press

LOS ALAMOS — Tucked away in one of Northern New Mexico’s pristine mountain canyons is an old log cabin that was the birthplace not of a famous person, but a top-secret mission that forever changed the world. Pond Cabin, along with a nearby small and stark building where the second person died while developing the nuclear bomb, are among a number of structures scattered in and around the modern-day Los Alamos National Laboratory that are being proposed as sites for a new national park commemorating the Manhattan Project. It’s an odd place for a national park, many admit. Besides the fact that some of the sites are behind the gates to what is supposed to be one of the most secure research facilities in the world, nuclear critics have called the plan an expensive glorification of an ugly chapter in history. “It is a debasement of the national parks idea,” anti-nuclear watchdog Los Alamos Study Group cofounder Greg Mello said when the Interior Department two years ago recommended creating national parks at Los Alamos; Hanford, Wash.; and Oak Ridge, Tenn.

and found that it compared favorably with El Paso wine, which had the best reputation. In the vineyards, he found that the plants were neither staked nor trellised. In fall, they were trimmed down close to the ground and in spring they grew up again from the stump. During winter they were covered with straw. “With intelligent care and good cellars,” he remarked, “superior wines may yet be made throughout the vine growing portion of the valley.” The primitive state of farming also engaged Meline’s attention.

BLM considers leasing parcels TAOS — Federal land managers are proposing to lease nearly 21 square miles for potential oil and natural gas development in Rio Arriba County. The Bureau of Land Management says it’s seeking public comments. A public meeting is scheduled in Cebolla on Tuesday. The 16 parcels near Cebolla would be offered during the October 2014 lease sale. The BLM had originally considered making these parcels available for lease during its sale last January. Staff and wire reports

stock was inferior and not well cared for. He complained that milk in Santa Fe cost 20 cents a quart, which was considered expensive. Still, he noted, this was somewhat better than Texas — also a pasture country — where milk was almost unattainable. The author devoted an entire chapter in his book to the condition of mining in the territory. His was one of the first descriptions of the industry. Some, like the Santa Rita copper mine near Silver City, had been worked since colonial days. Others, as he pointed out, such as the San Adelia and Stevenson mines in the Organ Mountains above Las Cruces, are more modern.” A highlight of Meline’s tour was a three-day visit with Kit Carson in Santa Fe. In lengthy interviews, the old scout related numbers of his exploits with hostile Indians and grizzly bears. Commented the author, “Kit can talk for long hours about what he has seen, but he has to be drawn out.” At summer’s end, James Meline headed back East, his notebook crammed with vignettes and scraps of information he would use in composing his book. One modern writer has said that in it, Meline painted a picture of a time when life was simpler and the fear of the future, so prevalent today, was almost unknown. Now in semi-retirement, author Marc Simmons wrote a weekly history column for more than 35 years. The New Mexican is publishing reprints from among the more than 1,800 columns he produced during his career.

AZTEC — A national monument in northwestern New Mexico will use a federal grant to develop part of an historic trail and tell its story. Aztec Ruins National Monument is receiving a $95,000 grant from the National Park Service to study and develop part of the Old Spanish Trail in a partnership with the city of Aztec. Plans call for a pedestrian and bicycle trail from Aztec’s downtown historic district to the monument on the other side of the Animas River. “A major goal of the project has always been connecting visitors to Old Spanish Trail history by developing the national historic trail, but retracing the route was largely speculative,” monument officials said in a statement announcing the project. “The Connecting Trails to Parks grant will bring historical accuracy and colorful detail to this important partnership project.” Travelers with caravans of pack mules used the trail, which was too rough for wagons, in the early 19th century to go between what is now New Mexico and California. The trade took blankets and other woolen goods to California in exchange for horses and mules. The route through Aztec was one of several branches of the Old Spanish Trail, and it was only used briefly because it was deemed too difficult and dangerous.

Budget cuts threaten snowpack monitoring The Associated Press

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — For the first time in nearly a century, several snowpack monitoring sites in Colorado’s mountains may be abandoned this winter due to federal budget cuts. The Natural Resources Conservation Service announced in late October that it might eliminate 47 of its 72 Colorado “snow course” sites, where scientists trek to measure snow, The Coloradoan reported Wednesday. New Mexico’s 27 snow telemetry sites that are checked manually are not affected yet, said Wayne Sleep, the state’s snow surveyor. “We’re doing everything we can to keep monitoring, but it is a little dicey,” said Sleep. “As of mid-January, everything could be defunded [by Congress] again.” Since the early 1900s, the NRCS has kept records of snow depth and

weight to help predict spring runoff. The estimates are used by reservoir managers, water conservation districts and farmers across the state. The budget for the NRCS Snow Survey Program in the West — which spans from New Mexico to Montana and from Colorado to California — has been cut by 15 percent since 2011, forcing the agency to cut staff. Some of the Colorado monitoring sites that could be closed have records dating back to 1936. “The short of it is, the snow program as a whole has taken budget cuts over the past few years, and yeah, I mean those cuts are very real,” said Mage Hultstrand, an assistant snow survey supervisor. “I think this year we are talking another 8 percent.” The decision to abandon more than half of the snow measuring sites inspired a group of 100 water conservation districts and farmers across

the state to save them, possibly by paying for monitoring themselves. The Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, one member of the group, uses 23 of the NRCS snow measuring sites, four of which are on the elimination list, said spokesman Brian Werner. “All four of those are on the Western Slope,” he said. “They are pretty critical for the forecast.” Since the 1930s, field officers have been measuring snow density across Colorado. In the 1970s NRCS began the SNOTEL program, which uses equipment to measure snow. SNOTEL updates are hourly and available on the Internet; that aspect of the program will not be cut, said B.J. Shoup, a soil scientist with the program. In 2011, the snow monitoring program’s budget for the entire western United States was $10.9 million. In 2012, the budget dropped to $9.3 mil-

lion, and this year it dropped to $8.56 million. The program, like other federal agencies, is being funded by a continuing resolution in the meantime. NRCS reduced its staff of 42 snow surveyors to 19 so it can continue to monitor the 47 Colorado sites in jeopardy. For 2014, it expects its budget for measuring Colorado sites to be $78,741. The details of a potential arrangement with stakeholders to pay for surveying have not yet been worked out, Hultstrand said. The Colorado office, which monitors Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and southern Wyoming, has a staff of six, with two vacant positions, said Hultstrand. The Colorado program hopes that employees of other agencies can start monitoring the sites at their own cost. “This data is very important to a lot of people,” Hultstrand said.

Sliver of hope for bright comet

New NASA images show ISON may have survived orbit around sun By Karl Ritter The Associated Press

TOCKHOLM — A comet that gained an earthly following because of its bright tail visible from space was initially declared dead after grazing the sun. Now, there is a sliver of hope that Comet ISON may have survived. New images being analyzed Friday showed a streak of light moving away from the sun that some said could indicate it wasn’t game over just yet. “It certainly appears as if there is an object there that is emitting material,” said Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Basically a dirty snowball from the fringes of the solar system, scientists had pronounced Comet ISON dead when it came within 1 million miles of the sun Thursday. Some sky gazers speculated early on that it might become the comet of the century because of its brightness, although expectations dimmed over time. But it wouldn’t be all bad news if the 4.5-billion-year-old space rock broke up into pieces, because some scientists say they might be able to study them and learn more about comets. The European Space Agency, which had declared ISON’s death on Twitter late Thursday, was backtracking early Friday, saying the comet “continues to surprise.” Comet ISON was first spotted by a Russian telescope in September last year, and became something of celestial flash in the pan this week for its vivid tail — visible by the naked eye — and compelling backstory of impending doom. The comet was two-thirds of a mile wide as it got within 1 million miles of the sun, which in space terms basically means grazing it. NASA solar physicist Alex Young said Thursday the comet had been expected to show up in images from the Solar Dynamics

In this combination of three images provided by NASA, Comet ISON appears as a white smear heading up and away from the sun on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 28-29.

Observatory spacecraft at around noon Eastern time, but almost four hours later there was “no sign of it whatsoever.” Images from other spacecraft showed a light streak continuing past the sun, but Young said that was most likely a trail of dust continuing in the comet’s trajectory. However, instead of fading, that trail appeared to get brighter Friday, suggesting that “at least some small fraction of ISON has remained in one piece,” U.S. Navy solar researcher Karl Battams wrote on his blog. He cautioned that even if there is a solid nucleus, it may not survive for long. Two years ago, a smaller comet, Lovejoy, grazed the sun and survived, but fell apart a couple of days later. “This is what makes science interesting,”

said Fitzsimmons, who specializes in comets and asteroids. “If we knew what was going to happen, it wouldn’t be interesting.” ISON’s slingshot toward the sun left astronomers puzzled and excited at the same time. Made up of loosely packed ice and dirt, the space rock came from the Oort cloud, an area of comets and debris on the edge of the solar system.

Study links cholesterol byproduct to breast cancer The Associated Press

DURHAM, N.C. — Studies have long shown a link between obesity and breast cancer, and now scientists at Duke Cancer Institute may have found one important explanation: a byproduct of cholesterol that fuels tumors in some of the most common forms of the disease. This could point the way to simple methods to reduce breast

cancer risk, like using cholesterollowering drugs such as statins and eating a healthier diet. It also suggests that using statins could make regimens for treating many breast cancers more effective. Results of the study, which are considered early because the study relied on mice and cancer tissue, are being published in Friday’s edition of the journal Science. Obesity is implicated in a num-

But until now, there was no understanding of the mechanism involved, so it was hard to know how to attack the problem,

Authority says the leaks occurred Friday morning. No health problems have been reported, but authorities say symptoms would take time to appear. Mercury can be poisonous if it becomes a vapor and is inhaled. The sites where mercury was detected have been closed. Air testing is expected to begin Saturday. Police say the mercury leaked from containers in a backpack belonging to 46-year-old Daniel Plumber, who had voluntarily committed himself to the detox center where the mercury was first reported.

McDonnell said. The researchers wondered how large a role was played by the high cholesterol levels often associated with obesity. Using human tumor cells and mice bred to be especially vulnerable to breast cancer, they found that a molecule called 27-hydroxycholesterol or 27HC, which is converted from cholesterol in the body, fuels the growth and spread of tumors.

Primary care doctors in short supply A

middle-aged woman sits pensively in the corner of the exam room. The physician has just explained, in Spanish, that she will have to increase her doses of insulin if she is to control her diabetes. He carefully reviews the changes in her complicated regimen until she nods in understanding, then he goes over the results of her recent lab tests, changes her medications for hypertension and cholesterol based on her exam and lab results, and listens patiently as she talks about her insomnia and anxiety over her teenage son who is experimenting with drugs and her partner who recently lost his job. He knows that if she is to successfully manage her own illness, she will also need help with these other stressors in her life. For this hour of work, the famDr. Wendy ily practice physician bills about $120. To compare, a colonoscopy, Jackson which takes a gastroenterologist Medical Matters about 30 minutes, costs about $1,000. The average charge for a heart angiogram done by a cardiologist is about the same. All these procedures require skill and years of training, but the primary care doctor has to combine vast generalist knowledge of medicine with deep empathy; strong, often cross-cultural, communication skills and a willingness to deal with patient’s psychosocial as well as biomedical issues. If the primary care doctor does his or her job well, those other more costly specialist interventions might be prevented. Unfortunately, finding a primary care provider willing and able to provide this kind of care is increasingly difficult. Media attention has been focused recently on the obstacles accessing insurance through the exchanges and the malfunctioning federal website healthcare. gov, but little has been reported on the hundreds of thousands who have successfully and easily rushed to sign up for Medicaid. In the first month of the Affordable Care Act implementation, nearly 400,000 enrolled in Medicaid in the 25 states that chose to expand access for everyone up to 138 percent of the poverty level; only one-fourth the number that signed up for private insurance. Last summer, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that 9 million people would enroll in Medicaid in 2014. while only 7 million would sign up under the exchanges. However one calculates the numbers, 2014 will see an enormous increase in the rolls of the insured, but access to quality health care might not follow automatically. The hurdles currently being negotiated by those trying to sign up for health insurance are just the first barrier. Once they obtain new health insurance, thousands of people will be seeking primary care health providers only to find that none are readily available. According to The University of New Mexico, the state is short by 2,000 doctors overall and about 600 primary care doctors. Compounding the problem is the misdistribution of doctors throughout the state as about half the physicians in New Mexico practice in Bernalillo County. The state is expected to add up to 172,000 people to the Medicaid rolls over the next year and because New Mexico has an older population, a higher proportion of those can be expected to have chronic and complicated medical problems. Finally, nearly 40 percent of New Mexico’s primary care physicians are over 60 and nearing retirement with not nearly enough younger doctors available to take their place. We know that good primary care saves lives. Medicare recipients who live in areas that lack primary care doctors are nearly twice as likely to undergo a preventable hospitalization. Unfortunately, more and more of us are destined to live in these areas, up to 44 million after expansions in insurance coverage kick in under the Affordable Care Act, according to a recent study in Health Affairs. And the outlook is bleak with a projected deficit of 65,000 primary care physicians by 2025. Unless there is dramatic change in our health care system, this trend will not be reversed. Only about 2 percent of medical students expressed interest in becoming general internists in a recent survey, and about half of medical students expressing interest in primary care change their minds by the time they are done with their training. As the medical director of a family-centered community clinic in Santa Fe, I can understand their reasoning. In addition to low pay and low prestige, our health care system rewards those dedicated to providing primary care with long hours, challenging work environments and scant resources to provide the services our patients need to prevent those costly hospitalizations. Unless we are willing to address the inequities and distortions in our health system which handsomely compensate sub-specialists doctors along with hospital, pharmaceutical and insurance company CEOs, while quickly overwhelming and burning out dedicated young primary care providers, we will not be able to achieve the kind of health care we all want and deserve.

rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia. The destruction of the forests threatens endangered species like orangutans, Sumatran tigers and elephants, environmentalists say. “The concern is that a lot of companies will switch to palm oil in order to reduce trans fats without thinking more broadly about the health and environmental implications of that,” said Bill Barclay, Policy and Research Director for the Rainforest Action Network. “They’re losing critical habitat that threatens their survival and that’s largely driven by palm oil expansion.”

Palm oil production has exploded over the past few decades to keep up with commercial demand. Palm oil is solid at room temperature which makes it a good substitute for trans fat. The drive to get Americans to eat less trans fat and the low price of palm oil have led to an expansion of the palm oil industry. Trans fat was a common additive to snack foods, until it started coming under fire as an artery-clogger that increases risks of heart disease. The Associated Press

Park: Some oppose the plan Continued from Page A-6 He remains opposed to the plan, saying it will not provide a comprehensive picture of the Manhattan Project, and he notes that extensive interpretative museums concerning development of the nuclear bomb already exist. Supporters, however, note that good or bad, the Manhattan Project transformed history. And they argue that key sites that have not already been bulldozed should be preserved and the public should be allowed to visit them. “It isn’t glorifying anything,” says Ellen McGehee, historical facilities manager for Los Alamos labs. “It’s really more a commemoration. … History is what it is. We can’t pick and choose what’s historically significant.” The Park Service, she said, would help people learn about the controversies, the people and the social, political and military legacy surrounding development of nuclear weapons. “There are a lot of emotions rolled up in this story,” she said. “That’s why the park service is the best entity to tell this story. They can approach it as an outsider. They have no real interest in how it is told. They can tell it from a national perspective.” Among the proposed park’s biggest supporters are lab workers like McGehee. She has been working since an act was passed in 2004 to study creation of such parks, to help identify and preserve areas in town and within

lab property to include. Potential park properties include some buildings in downtown Los Alamos, a town that was essentially created to support the lab, as well as 17 buildings in six “industrial sites” within the lab’s fence. They include the V-site, where the first atomic bomb to be detonated at the Trinity Site was assembled, as well as the areas where the Little Boy and Fat Man nuclear bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively, were assembled. Also on the list is the Pajarito site, which includes Pond Cabin and the Slotin Building. Pond Cabin had been part of a boys’ school and dude ranch that was purchased and taken over to create Los Alamos lab. It was turned into a key plutonium research office after the first so-called “criticality accident” killed physicist Harry Daghlian, prompting officials

Police notes The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the following reports: u Jamaine Urioste, 27, 154 Calle Ojo Feliz, was arrested on a charge of driving with a revoked license after a sheriff’s deputy reported that he nearly caused a crash on St. Francis Drive at about 11 a.m. u A woman reported that someone stole her vehicle sometime Thursday, but it was later recovered when the suspect was arrested in Sandoval County.

covered terrain for 5½ months during their denning season, between January and May 15. “Wolverines are in the coldest and snowiest places in the Lower 48 during that time, and they also seem to use that area year-round,” said Shawn Sartorius, a FWS biologist for endangered species. Wolverines, famous for wandering long distance in tough conditions, were eradicated from the Lower 48 states by about 1920. Since then, animals from Canada have moved into Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington state. Colorado and California each now have one male wolverine resident, federal officials said. Sightings of wolverines are not uncommon in Utah as the animals move across the land. Utah, with its vast desert stretches between mountain ranges, is not ideal for the wolverine, and federal officials have proposed transplanting more of the animals in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico.

Thus, though Churchill was firmly antiappeasement in the 1930s, he did say that when it came Bill Stewart down to talking or Understanding fighting, Your World jaw-jaw was better than war-war. Sir Winston, as usual, was right. In this difficult and complex world, the U.S. is moving away from an essentially military strategy in dealing with terrorist groups and those nations that support them to a more diplomatic stance. We see it in our attempt to remove Syria’s chemical weapons essentially through diplomacy, to finding ways to talk to Afghanistan’s Taliban prior to our withdrawal and, most importantly, in talking to Iran’s leadership on how to restrict that nation’s nuclear program. It is an approach fraught with difficulty, not least because of opposition from such key allies as Israel and Saudi Arabia. Who would have thought those two countries would find common cause? Early last Sunday, Secretary of State John Kerry and his P5+1 negotiating partners — meaning Britain, France, Germany, the EU, Russia and China — agreed with Iran on a nuclear deal to cover the next six months, during which time all the partners work out a permanent agreement. The agreement was the first of its kind in more than 30 years of hostility between Iran and the West. The next day, Washington announced that an international conference would convene in January in an attempt to end the Syrian civil war. Clearly, diplomacy was on the move, and just as clearly not everybody was happy. Israel and Saudi Arabia in particular were dismayed and deeply angered by the Iranian deal. While Iran’s attempt to

build its own nuclear weapons, although denied by Tehran, is seen by the U.S. and its allies as a dangerous development, it is seen by Israel and Saudi Arabia as a threat to their very existence. They look at Iran through a very different prism. For them, the only good Iranian nuclear program is no nuclear program at all. But that is unlikely to happen, especially as Israel itself is a secretive nuclear power, a fact the Arab world fears, but then again appreciates when it comes to facing Shiite Iran. The great bulk of the Arab world is Sunni, and when it comes to politics and the armed forces, the Sunnis are deeply apprehensive of Shiite power, especially Iranian. For President Barack Obama and his administration, however, the time is right to push forward with negotiations with Iran and with talks on how to end the Syrian civil war. Then there are the almost forgotten Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, dealing with the most prolonged and intractable problem in the Middle East. In the short term, these talks have the immediate political objective of diverting attention away from U.S. domestic affairs such as Obamacare and its troubles.

Santa Fe’s young people are in need

hanks to Robert Nott for the supportive article about Santa Fe Public Schools Adelante program (“Adelante caters to increasing need,” Nov. 25). Some clarifications: u Adelante needs children’s coats, sizes toddler to 18, gloves, hats and scarves. We cannot accommodate clothing donations. u 1,320 children and youth are currently in our program, the highest number for this time of year. We receive new referrals daily and will have more than 1,650-plus by July 2014. u 47 is the number of unaccompanied youth in Adelante — there are hundreds more teens on their own. u We need your help to provide emergency financial aid to families. Santa Feans are extremely generous once they become aware of the problems faced by children and youth experiencing homelessness. We ask the community — you — to partner with us in assisting students and their siblings who find themselves living in crisis situations.

But the longer term objective is to achieve a more peaceful Middle East, part of Obama’s initial goals to end the war in Iraq and subsequently in Afghanistan. Dealing with these problems is maddeningly difficult, as we have just seen with Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai, who now refuses to sign the agreement he just negotiated with the U.S. on U.S. troops remaining in Afghanistan after the “final withdrawal” at the end of 2014. Now he says he won’t sign until after the Afghan presidential elections in April, by which time the just signed deal will be obsolete. In this case, it’s instructive to read Afghan history over the past 200 years or so to see that Karzai is acting very much in the tradition of his duplicitous ancestors. It must be in the genes. The deal with Iran didn’t happen overnight, but has its origins in the shadows of secret diplomacy. Last March, Obama authorized a trip to the sultanate of Oman by a small group of senior White House officials to meet with Iranian officials to talk about the possibilities of a nuclear deal. The meeting was successful, though it cut out the other P5-1 negotiating partners

with their competing agendas. The move especially angered France, which vetoed the first proposed deal several weeks ago. Then again, Secretary of State Kerry had to move carefully to avoid angering those members of the U.S. Congress who are deeply skeptical of any deal with the Iranians other than complete Iranian surrender. Their political soul mate is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. An Iranian surrender isn’t going to happen. Successful diplomacy involves compromise, which for many hardliners in the U.S., Israel, France and Iran, spells defeat. For them, the symbol of this kind of diplomacy is British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who returned from the Munich conference with Adolf Hitler proclaiming “peace in our time,” though it came at the expense of an independent Czechoslovakia and didn’t prevent World War II. For others, however, Churchill’s tough-minded “jaw-jaw, not war-war” is by far the better option. Bill Stewart writes about current affairs from Santa Fe. He is a former Time magazine correspondent and U.S. Foreign Service officer.

Frank Willis Gipson was arrested in Bard, N.M., when a Bard merchant became suspicious and called state police. In Santa Fe, Gipson was wanted on five counts of forging worthless checks.

Nov. 30, 1988: Las Vegas, N.M. — About 60 New Mexico Highlands University students staged a demonstration to protest missing fire extinguishers, locked-up fire hoses and blocked exits in a ninestory dormitory known as “Animal House.” The students are afraid of what might happen to them in the event of a fire at the El Conquistador dorm, also called “The High-Rise,” that houses 135 men. The university says students in the 19-year-old, brick and concrete dorm have consistently destroyed safety equipment. The state Fire Marshal’s Office said the dorm has always been a mess. No similar problems exist in other Highlands dorms or on other university campuses in New Mexico.

s they compete to get Christmas shoppers the newest tablets, phones and cameras, electronics makers contract with suppliers, factories and labor recruiters across the globe. For consumers, this means a bonanza of ever-cheaper, more convenient gadgets. At the opposite end of the supply chain, however, are people whose lives are often made worse by the game. A Bloomberg News investigation underscores how common it is that workers who make these products become indentured servants, only a step removed from slavery. Their plight results from the way employment recruiters in the poorest of countries charge steep fees to people who want to migrate to jobs in overseas manufacturing hubs. The workers are thus saddled with debt that they must work for many months or years to pay off. To help stamp out this practice, the U.S. government has proposed new rules that would prohibit the charging of recruitment fees for any work it contracts. Because the U.S. government is the world’s largest purchaser of goods and services, this change could help root out the practice — but only if the U.S. punishes companies that violate the rules. The Electronic Industry Citizen Coalition’s code of conduct already forbids charging workers “excessive” recruitment fees — but doesn’t say what that means. Companies assume it’s any amount exceeding the maximum established by a worker’s home or host country — for instance, the $800 Nepal sets for Malaysia- bound workers. Yet 80 percent of 60 Nepalese who had worked in Malaysia and were interviewed by Bloomberg News said they were charged more. Apple limits fees to one month’s salary. But last year, when the company audited just some of the factories in which migrant workers made its products, it discovered $6.4 million in fees beyond the ceiling. One reason that workers end up paying more than the limit is that one charge leads to another. Recruiters might impose an initial fee within industry norms, then they, or brokers who come into play later in the process, will spring additional charges on the worker for such things as processing, immigration, training and transportation. Having borrowed money or sunk their life savings into the first fee, workers keep paying, desperate to recoup their losses, even if it means turning to loan sharks to cover the added payments. To make matters worse, employers almost always seize the worker’s passport, so he or she is further inhibited from quitting — and becoming an undocumented alien in a foreign land. Under U.S. law, this kind of debt bondage constitutes human trafficking. U.S. criminal law is rarely invoked in such cases, however, because the recruiters are usually not American and have no U.S. presence. So it is through federal procurement policies that the U.S. can have the most influence. Rules that have been drafted to carry out an executive order signed by President Barack Obama a year ago would bar federal purchases from companies whose workers have been charged fees or had their passports taken. Presumably, many of the electronics sellers that comply in order to win lucrative U.S. government, especially military, contracts would extend the policy to all their work. The draft rules would require contractors to notify the government of any credible violations. And companies with contracts worth at least $500,000 would have to have plans to prevent transgressions. The rules should be put into effect soon after Dec. 20, when the period for public comment closes. Then, the new policy will need to be enforced. Here, the U.S. has a poor track record. In the early 2000s, thirdcountry nationals working for U.S. contractors to support diplomatic and military missions in Iraq and Afghanistan were found to be victims of debt bondage, and the abuses continued after they were exposed. Even though the new rules place the onus on companies to abolish charging fees, government investigators will still have to look for human trafficking connected with procurement processes. They will need the resources it takes to vigorously pursue cases. And contractors found to break the rules will need to be terminated, unpaid.

‘If/Then’ brings new life to theater By Brett Zongker The Associated Press

WASHINGTON, D.C. Washington theater with a long history of incubating Broadwaybound shows is getting a rebirth of its own while hosting a new world premiere from the creative team behind Next to Normal and the star power of Rent. Although long neglected and underused — and left dark for all but five weeks last year — the National Theatre is opening its first season under new management with a show that’s already generating plenty of buzz. If/Then, which reunites Idina Menzel, Anthony Rapp and director Michael Greif from Rent, is in the midst of its pre-Broadway tryout after weeks of technical rehearsals and tweaks. The new musical wonders aloud “what if” life could be different and follows diverging paths based on 39-year-old Elizabeth’s choices and fate. It’s all tied together with a promising score. The $10 million musical runs through Dec. 8 in Washington. It’s then scheduled to begin previews in New York in March. Though set in New York City, the project has some roots in Washington. Five years ago, as their musical Next to Normal was opening at Washington’s Arena Stage before eventually moving to Broadway, composer Tom Kitt and writer Brian Yorkey handed producer David Stone an outline proposing their next show. Those notes would become If/Then. “There was something full circle about the idea of taking this … and doing the show itself in Washington,” Stone said. “It took five years, but it also felt like Washington was in just the right place to do it.” For decades, the capital hosted many pre-Broadway engagements. Dating to 1835, the National Theatre is one of the oldest continually operating theaters. It hosted the world premieres of West Side Story, Show Boat, Porgy and Bess and others. In more recent years, the Kennedy Center and others have produced or hosted significant Broadway revivals and new works. The hot spots for theater tryouts, though, shifted over time to Toronto, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco, according to Stone, a New York-based producer. But he considers the

Those theaters, he said, most resemble the feel of a New York auditorium. Now, he hopes to create another hit with Menzel, starting in the nation’s capital. “Washington, in general, its audience is probably, along with Boston, the closest to New York’s audience in their world view, their concerns, their sophistication,” Stone said. “All shows need the audience, but I think this show really needs the audience to tell us what works, what doesn’t, where they’re with us, where they’re not.” Once If/Then moves on, the National still has a full season of shows, including tours of The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, American Idiot, Mama Mia! and West Side Story. Chicagobased JAM Theatricals and Philadelphia’s SMG teamed up to manage and expand the National’s programming after the theater’s 30-year contract with Broadway’s Shubert Organization expired. The next show, Porgy and Bess, opens Christmas Day and runs through Dec. 29. For its first theater season, the new National Theatre Group partnership is committing more than $10 million in programming and other costs, said JAM co-founder Steve Traxler. The theater will be booked for about 20 weeks this season but is still looking to add concerts or other shows between Broadway runs. Theater officials had the auditorium repainted in burgundy with gold trim to replace a robin’s egg blue that dated to a 1982 renovation, Traxler said. But it still needs a major upgrade to its backstage rigging system for sets. The theater is offering its first subscription package in years and will continue offering subscriptions to build an audience for future seasons. For 2014-2015, the theater already has booked Broadway’s Newsies. All the activity, and especially hosting the premiere of If/Then, promises to open more opportunities for the National. “I think it’s opening the door back up,” Stone said, “and I hope that the people who run the National now will use this as an opportunity to keep that door open.”

West Las Vegas beats St. Michael’s in OT By James Barron The New Mexican

Reyna Trujillo was waiting for an opportunity. It found her on Friday night. The sophomore forward for the West Las Vegas girls basW. Las Vegas 51 ketball team spent most of the second St. Michael’s 47 half of a nondistrict road game against St. Michael’s waiting patiently on the bench. It didn’t help that she was there because she had four fouls already. It turns out that foul trouble ended up being her best friend. The Lady Dons lost Celeste Trujillo late in regulation, and then head coach Jose Medina turned to his other Trujillo to fill the hole in the low post. Reyna Trujillo did more than that. It was her eight point and four offensive rebounds in the last 3 minutes of regulation and overtime that helped West Las Vegas to a 51-47 win in Perez-Shelley Memorial Gymnasium. Reyna Trujillo’s performance came at a key moment in the Lady Dons’ early development. Medina has a strong starting lineup, but he was looking to see who out of his young bench proved capable of big minutes. “We gotta build a bench,” Medina said. “We’ve got to build depth for the season and the postseason, and that is what we’re working on right now. I thought we had

the first five, but then two or three girls stepped in when Celeste and Jaylen [Gutierrez] fouled out.” But Reyna Trujillo made the biggest impression. Her first contribution came when Joedy Quintana found her open underneath the basket on the break for a layup that gave West Las Vegas a 38-36 lead with 2 minutes, 41 seconds in the fourth quarter. She added a free throw 24 seconds later for a 39-37 lead that held up for all of 13 seconds. Ariana Lovato scored down in the low post for St. Michael’s (1-1) to tie the score at 39, which were the last points in regulation as both teams traded turnovers over the final 2 minutes. The overtime period demonstrated West Las Vegas’ strength on the glass. The Lady Dons (2-0) had eight rebounds on the offensive end, which led to second chances and free throws. Reyna Trujillo scored her five points in the extra period off of offensive rebounds. Her putback with 2:47 left gave West Las Vegas a 44-41 lead. “I thought, after a good teammate fouled out, ‘I gotta step in and do my job,’ ” said Reyna Trujillo, who finished with 12 points. “I stepped in, got my boards and did what I needed to do.” She grabbed another offensive board off a Deanna Bustos miss and was fouled. Reyna Trujillo hit two freebies to make it 46-41 with 1:48 left. St. Michael’s got within 46-44 on two free throws from Briona Vigil and another from Alex Groenewold

in a four-second span, but the Lady Dons exerted more of their rebounding prowess with single free throws from Shania Gallegos and Reyna Trujillo. St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero felt his team became fatigued down the stretch, and that allowed West Las Vegas to gain position around the basket easier. “We gave them way too many chances,” Romero said. “And you can only hold your breath so long before it bites you. There’s some conditioning [issues] there. It was a track meet at times.” The track meet didn’t start until the second half. Until that point, St. Michael’s was able to keep a more comfortable pace, thanks in part to its defense. The Lady Dons were stagnant at times against the Lady Horsemen defense, and relied upon Celeste Trujillo and Bustos to create shots. They went through a 4-plus minute drought in the second quarter that allowed St. Michael’s to take a 20-13 halftime lead that grew to 22-13 on Groenewold’s left-handed hook shot at 7:20 of the third quarter. “It’s hard to try and get a stop on every possession to be able to run,” Medina said. The stops were easier to get as the Lady Horsemen picked up the pace with their opponents. The turning began with Francesca Gonzales’ 18-footer to cut the margin to 28-22 and start a 10-2 run that ended in the opening moments of the fourth when Bustos hit a 10-footer in the lane to tie the score at 30.

Ready: Both teams play with similar style Continued from Page B-1 plays with the same type of intensity. “There is nothing wrong with physical play, as long as it ends with the play,” Lopez said. “When you got people still swinging at each other and guys doing stuff in the pile, that’s when it goes too far. There is nothing wrong with knocking people on their tail and then giving them a hand to pick them up.” For two teams that play a similar style — tough, physical defense with a ground-oriented offensive attack — there is an expectation that it will be a physical affair. For the Cardinals, though, they know that being in peak condition is paramount with so little depth. Gonzalez makes sure his team practices in full pads for the week to make sure the players stay sharp. It has worked over the past three weeks, with wins over No. 8 Portales and the Horsemen. “We go 100 percent,” Gonzalez said. “In pregame, we tone it down a bit, maybe to 70 percent, where we hit, but we don’t take guys down [to the ground].” Also helping Robertson is timing. The Cardinals are playing with the lineup Gonzalez originally thought he’d have when the season started. It just took until the Portales game for it to materialize, but the Cardinals are a different team since

then. Lopez has looked over eight films of Cardinals games to find an edge that the Tigers can use. “Now that they’re completely healthy, they aren’t using [running backs James Gonzales III and Dominic Lucero] the same way they were before,” Lopez said. “It comes down to adjustments now. It’s just a long halftime now.” Gonzales and Lucero have combined for 2,364 yards on the ground on the season. Against St. Michael’s, Lucero ran for 171 yards, while Gonzales added 123 and a touchdown. The Tigers (10-1) come in with their own strong ground game, led by senior Isaac Gonzales’ 1,206 yards and another 556 from junior Lorenzo Rael. But Lopez might have his own wrinkle or two for Robertson. “There’s one thing that we haven’t put into play yet, and we’re going to toy for it,” Lopez said. “We got a lot of state champions in track and we haven’t put them on the field, yet.” It might be the difference in Las Vegas Robertson player Francisco Arguello runs through what promises to be a physical, some blocking exercises during practice in August. NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO but entertaining rematch.

Iron: Intense rivalry between the schools Continued from Page B-1 in either game. Much has changed since coach Gus Malzahn’s arrival. “We’ve been fueled by doubt all season,” Auburn tailback Tre Mason said. “A lot of guys are fired up and we like being the underdog.” It hasn’t been an ideal position in this game historically. The highest ranked team has gone 42-10 in the Iron Bowl since 1955, but there have been precious few like this one. The 1971 game pitted No. 3 Alabama versus No. 5 Auburn. The 1989 game was huge for Auburn fans as the first one played at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Perhaps this one will end up topping them all. The Tigers haven’t been under this kind of spotlight since the 2010 national championship season that helped give the state a string of four straight. The teams are jockeying to preserve their hopes of making it five. “We’re going to try not to have that outside pressure feed in and all the media and hype that the outside people are going to bring in affect us but at the same time, we’re going to bring that intensity ourselves,” Auburn tight end C.J. Uzomah said. No top-ranked Alabama team has faced an opponent ranked this high during the regular season. Plus, it’s Alabama-Auburn, a statewide obsession even in lean years. Tide coach Nick Saban says games like this boil down to execution.

“It really doesn’t matter what anybody says, what anybody thinks, who’s favored,” Saban said. “It really doesn’t matter.” Here are five things to watch in the Iron Bowl: Marshall vs. McCarron: The Tide’s AJ McCarron is a Heisman Trophy candidate with a big-game reputation. Auburn’s Gus Malzahn has fashioned his offense to take advantage of Nick Marshall’s strengths: downfield passing and running. This will

be the biggest game of the junior college transfer’s career while McCarron has won two national titles. What a rush: It’s the SEC’s top running game against the best run defense. Auburn ranks second nationally in rushing at 320.3 yards per game behind two of the league’s top-6 rushers, Marshall and Mason. Alabama’s fourth against the run, with opponents managing just 91.3 rushing yards on average. The Tigers have four runners with at least five touchdowns, matching what the Tide has allowed all season. Potent offenses: They go about it differently, but both offenses are formidable. The Tigers have scored 30-plus points seven games in a row for the first time since 1994, using a fast-paced style. Alabama is No. 2 in the SEC in points per game (39.7) and has had only 19 three-and-outs in 119 possessions, or 15.8 percent, the fourth-lowest percentage nationally. Seeing red: Alabama’s defense is the SEC’s best in several key categories, including scores allowed within the Tide’s 20-yard line. Opponents are scoring just 60 percent of the time in the red zone. Auburn is second-stingiest, at 73.7 percent. The Tigers offense has scored on a league-best 42 of 48 red zone trips (87.5 percent), including 33 touchdowns. Tough blockers: Alabama and Auburn could both make a case for having the SEC’s best offensive line. Led by Cyrus Kouandjio and Anthony Steen, the Tide has allowed just two sacks in the past 29 quarters. Center Ryan Kelly’s status is uncertain with a sprained knee. Greg Robinson and Reese Dismukes have paved the way for a potent running game and given up 12 sacks.

Tigers, Cardinals ready for intense contest Taos, Las Vegas Robertson face off in Class AAA semifinal

The New Mexican

f you look at the Santa Fe High girls basketball team, it should have a very familiar feel to it. With the exception of two players lost to graduation, the Demonettes are the same team that made it to the Class AAAA semifinals last year. The same team whose season ended with a 57-47 loss to Roswell in double overtime. The fact that a team that went 25-4 last year is mostly still intact bodes well for its chances of playing in the state championship after narrowly missing it last year, but what helps the Demonettes most is that this is essentially the same team that was storming Capshaw Middle School back in the day. More than half of the Demonettes’ roster: Kayla Herrera, Lindsey Varoz, Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage, Savina Padilla, Briana Hernandez and Shania Borrego-Lopez have played together long before they were donning the blueand-gold of Santa Fe High. The chemistry that has been built between the juniors over the years is one of the reasons Santa Fe High is now in the upper echelon of AAAA. “In middle school we all played with each other and we’ve evolved ever since then,” Herrera said. “We’re all best friends off the court. We always hang out, watch other teams play or go shoot early in the morning together. Our bond really helps us out on the court. If we weren’t as close as we were, we wouldn’t be as

For anyone who thought that last week’s Class AAA quarterfinal football game between St. Michael’s and Las Vegas Robertson was a physical affair, Flavio Lopez would like to bring a different perspective. “I watched the tape of ours against Robertson,” said Lopez, the Taos head coach, of his team’s 14-13 District 2AAA win over the Cardinals on Nov. 1. “It was just as physical from my standpoint. I hope we’re playing physical like that. That’s the way to be playing. We don’t preach being dirty, but we are going to get after it.” That is the background that sets up Saturday’s Class AAA semifinal between the fifth-seeded Tigers and the No. 9 Cardinals at Anaya Field at 1 p.m. This battle of district foes expects to be every bit as physical and intense as Robertson’s 22-13 win over the No. 1 Horsemen in Santa Fe last week. Taos, the 2AAA champion, outmuscled Bloomfield on the road for a 49-14 win that was a AAA-best seventh win in a row. For Cardinals head coach Leroy Gonzalez, though, he made it a point to emphasize his team is not dirty, something he said he has dealt with since the quarterfinal win. Some of that stigma comes from the 13 personal fouls called on both teams, nine of which were on Robertson (7-5). There were also some very hard collisions in the mix, including two hits that sent St. Michael’s players to the sidelines. “The helmet-to-helmet stuff, people were talking about that as if it was taught by the coaches,” Gonzalez said. “Look at my numbers [Robertson has 30 varsity players], if I really taught that, I’d have 14 guys out here. I’m not going to change the way I coach and they way our kids play.” He won’t have to make any apologies to Lopez, who believes his team

Johnson, No. 4 Arizona beat No. 6 Duke By Jim O’Connell The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Nick Johnson scored all but two of his 15 points in the second half and No. 4 Ari4 Arizona 72 zona beat No. 6 Duke 6 Duke 66 72-66 on Friday night in the championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. The game was expected to be a matchup of two of the best freshmen in the country and,

although Aaron Gordon of Arizona and Jabari Parker of Duke didn’t spend a lot of time covering each other, they were both key factors in the outcome. Gordon, the quiet forward, finished with 10 points and seven rebounds and came up big late with a dunk on an alleyoop pass and then fed Rondae Hollis-Jefferson for a dunk less than a minute later to give the Wildcats (7-0) a 61-51 lead with 3:59 to play. Parker, who had 19 points for his first game with fewer than

20 points this season, struggled against Arizona’s physical defense and was 7 of 21 from the field. He came into the game shooting 60 percent from the field. The victory gave Arizona its fourth NIT Season Tip-Off title, tying Duke for the most ever. Johnson, the Wildcats’ leading scorer at 17.3 per game, shook off a quiet first half to become the focal point of Arizona’s offense. His 3-pointer with 11:07 to play tied the game at 45. He hit another 3 with 6:22

left to give Arizona a 57-48 lead. He was chosen the tournament MVP. The Wildcats, who finished with a 36-28 rebound advantage, had five players in double figures. Brandon Ashley had 13 points and Kalen Tarczewski and T.J. McConnell both scored 10. Tarczewski had nine rebounds and McConnell had eight assists. Rodney Hood led Duke (6-2) with 21 points and eight rebounds. The Blue Devils’ other loss was to No. 2 Kansas.

The top five boys and girls basketball players in Class AAAA to watch this season.

DEC. 3

BOYS

CAPITAL AT ALBUQUERQUE MANZANO This marks the return of Ben Gomez on the Jaguars’ sidelines after a four-year hiatus. He has a big task in front of him as he takes a group that played mostly junior varsity minutes and help it adapt to the varsity level. The Jaguars get a tough test with the Monarchs, one of the favorites in Class AAAAA.

HAYDEN HARGROVE SANTA FE HIGH The 6-foot-4 junior played more of a complementary role last season, but he is already got off to a strong start this season, posting 19 points and 12 rebounds against Albuquerque Del Norte on Tuesday. Expect that to be the norm, as he will be expected to lead a relatively inexperienced group through the rigors of District 2AAAA play.

DEC. 12-14 CAPITAL CITY INVITATIONAL, SANTA FE HIGH The Capital City field always has tough opponents coming to Santa Fe, but some are little bit more special than others. This year, the talk begins — and ends — with these words: the Hobbs Eagles. While St. Michael’s, Santa Fe Prep, Deming and Capital help strengthen the field, but when you add Hobbs to the mix, it makes this a tournament worth watching.

ERIC COCA CAPITAL When the Jaguars lost Michael Sanders to grades in February, it was the freshman Coca who stepped up in his place. The 5-9 guard was more of a role player last year, but he will be expected to take on more of a leadership role on a team that has limited varsity experience.

TBA ALBUQUERQUE ACADEMY AT SANTA FE HIGH If it wasn’t for last weekend’s snowstorm, this game doesn’t make the cut. As it is now, the Demons will get a chance to measure themselves against one of the favorites in Class AAAA. The question is, when will it be made up? Stay tuned. JAN. 22 ESPAÑOLA VALLEY AT SANTA FE HIGH This matchup is always a dogfight, as every game since Santa Fe High moved to AAAA has been decided by no more than seven points. The Demons’ win in the 2AAAA quarterfinal might have saved them from missing out the state tournament. At stake for winner in this game? The 2AAAA lead right off the bat.

FEB. 22 SANTA FE HIGH AT CAPITAL This is likely the last time these two programs ever play as district foes again, so get here early because you never know what you’ll miss. Last year, it was the Demons’ rally from a three-point deficit in the final 8 seconds to deprive the Jaguars of their second straight district title. The year before that, the Demons won to prevent Capital from an undefeated season. With the Jaguars as the likely underdogs this season, maybe turnabout is fair play?

ALBUQUERQUE VOLCANO VISTA AT SANTA FE HIGH A lot is expected of the Demonettes and all eyes will be on Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium when they get their feet put to the fire right off the bat. They’ll get a huge early test from the visiting Lady Hawks, the 2012 Class AAAAA state champions and a perennial contender in the state’s biggest classification. While a win here doesn’t guarantee anything, a strong showing does indicate just how ready Santa Fe High is for what many expect to be a big season.

LOS ALAMOS VS. LOS LUNAS (AT ALBUQUERQUE ACADEMY) Most pundits have handed the 2AAAA race to either Santa Fe High or Española Valley, leaving enough room for Los Alamos to again finish third. For this particular game, the Lady Hilltoppers should be more concerned with Los Lunas center Teige Zeller, a 6-foot-2 senior who averaged 17 points, 17 rebounds and 5.5 blocks a game while leading the Lady Tigers to the AAAA state championship last March. While Zeller will do considerable damage against anyone she faces, the litmus test for Los Alamos is in how well it does against the elite team — and player — in the state on a neutral floor.

JAN. 16 ESPAÑOLA VALLEY AT ALBUQUERQUE CIBOLA Despite the turnover in the coach’s office, the Lady Sundevils have hung tough the last four years with remarkable talent in the backcourt. Games like this, a challenging nondistrict affair on the road against one of AAAAA’s top programs, certainly add to Española’s ability to transform that talent into a hard-nosed brand of hoops that serves itself well in the district race in 2AAAA. JAN. 21 SANTA FE HIGH AT ESPAÑOLA VALLEY The 2AAAA season tips off in style as the district’s top two teams go toe to toe on the Lady Sundevils’ home floor. The home team should be sufficiently prepared by then as this game represents the last in a brutal four-game stretch over eight days that includes road games to Santa Fe Indian School and Cleveland, as well as a road trip to Albuquerque Cibola. While it’s a virtual certainty that the 2AAAA champ will not go undefeated in district play, this game represents an early opportunity for Santa Fe High to take a stranglehold on the regular season race. FEB. 7 ESPAÑOLA VALLEY AT SANTA FE HIGH There will still be two full weeks remaining in the regular season when this game rolls around. Still, it’s a safe bet it will go a long way in determining the 2AAAA champion and the district’s top overall seed come tournament time. A year ago, Española finished a game behind the Demonettes thanks to a late-season loss in a similar situation, but the Lady Sundevils returned the favor with a win over Santa Fe High in the district tournament. Bottom line, this game is important. It’s just not the final say in what will be one of AAAA’s top rivalries this season.

Overview: The Hilltoppers have proven they can play defense. Now if they can fix the offensive woes that were so … Well, offensive. The team averaged just 41.7 points per game last season and the essentially the same group returns. Archuleta and Veenis return as the top two scorers, while Ellis returns from an injury to add depth in the post. Los Alamos is not a big team, so it might have to rely on its stout defensive roots to keep games close. If the scoring improves, that might make the Hilltoppers a dangerous team when district play starts in January.

in as many seasons, making turnover at the top a real issue. Another is finding a replacement for a talented senior class led by 20-ppg scorer Lauren Quintana; a class that was responsible for a 24-win season and was part of a four-year span in which the team won at least 20 games each season. Romero says the scoring will take care of itself. The biggest adjustment will come at the defensive end since a pressure D will be the focus all season.

CAPITAL 2012-13 record: 7-22, 1-7 2AAAA. Head coach: Tom Montoya (second season) Top players: Gabby Ortiz, Fr., guard, 5-foot 3; Dom Romero, Jr., guard, 5-2; Rachael Flores, Fr., post, 5-10; Shele Gonzales, Sr., guard, 5-7; Julie Gandara, Jr., guard, 5-4 Overview: A potential season-ending injury to projected point guard Adriana Ochoa, a 5-2 senior, will make things difficult in the back-court as the Lady Jaguars’ youth and inexperience will be put to the test. Montoya also said the lack of size in the block adds to the emphasis already placed on his guards. If they can shoot the ball well, avoid turnovers and somehow discover a post presence even with a glaring lack of size, the Lady Jaguars expect to be competitive in a rugged 2AAAA slate.

JARED GARDUÑO ESPAÑOLA VALLEY The 5-10 junior was a key part of the Sundevils’ run to the AAAA quarterfinals in 2012-13, but he will take on a bigger load this year. He is the top returning scorer from last year and his sharpshooting and ability to get to the basket will be key in Española’s drive to return to the top of the heap in District 2AAAA and in the state. SKYLER VEENIS LOS ALAMOS While a 10.2-points-per-game average might not seem like a lot, consider that the Hilltoppers averaged 41.7 points as a team. Veenis, a 6-1 wing, is Los Alamos’ top 3-point shooter and can work his way into the paint as well. The Hilltoppers want to run more, and that will mean his totals should go up with along with the tempo.

GIRLS SABRINA LOZADA-CABBAGE SANTA FE HIGH While the state is fixated on Los Lunas 6-3 post Teige Zeller, the 6-2 Lozada-Cabbage is trying to nudge her way into the conversation as the best post player in AAAA. She averaged just over 12 points and seven rebounds per game for the Demonettes as they reached the AAAA semifinals. Those numbers should improve as Lozada-Cabbage matures into a player that can occupy space in the low post as well as handle the ball in transition. KAYLA HERRERA SANTA FE HIGH The 5-9 Herrera wreaked havoc on opposing defenses, as she was the point player in the Demonettes’ press. The junior broke the 30-point barrier twice — 31 and 38 points — as her daring on the defensive end led to easy baskets on the offensive end. If she can hit shots from the perimeter more consistently, it will make her and even more dangerous threat. JACKIE MARTINEZ SANTA FE HIGH Martinez completes the Demonettes dynamic trio, as she provides the hustle and heart. Martinez, a 5-8 forward, was second on the team in rebounding (six per game) while averaging 10 points a night to augment the performances of her other two teammates. KIANA ZERR LOS ALAMOS Zerr is another in a long line of frontcourt players to take center stage for the Lady Hilltoppers. She is the team’s top returning player (6.7 points, 5.7 rebounds per game), and will demand much attention from opposing defenses. The 5-8 senior also is a strong defender, as she was sometimes used during the AAAA quarterfinals to match up with Los Lunas’ Teige Zeller. KAITLYN ROMERO ESPAÑOLA VALLEY While she might be only a sophomore, she will be expected to lead a team of mostly underclassmen into the post-Lauren Quintana era. She showed flashes of dominance last year, like scoring eight of her team’s first 10 points to help Española to a 59-54 upset of Santa Fe High on Feb. 8. She’ll need more outbursts like that to help the Lady Sundevils keep pace with the Demonettes.

Peter Jok scored 14 and Melsahn Basabe finished with 10 for the Hawkeyes (7-0), who have won five times this season by at least 31 points. Iowa will meet either Kansas or Villanova for the tournament title on Saturday. After needing overtime to beat Xavier in the quarterfinals, Iowa took care of this one early. A 13-0 run in the opening minutes put the Hawkeyes in control, and Iowa’s first 20-point lead came a mere 14 minutes into the contest.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Keith Appling came off the bench to score 17 points and Denzel 1 MSU 98 Valentine and Mt. St. Mary’s 65 Travis Trice added 15 apiece Friday to power Michigan State to a 98-65 victory over Mount St. Mary’s and help the Spartans continue their domination of non-conference opponents at home during November. The last time the Spartans (7-0) lost at home in November was to a David Robinsonled Navy team on Nov. 29, 1986. Michigan State has won 74 straight games against unranked non-conference opponents at home. Michigan State — which is off to its best start since opening the 2000-01 season with a 12-0 mark — did not start Appling, Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson due to “classroom attendance issues.” NO. 5 OKLAHOMA STATE 69, BUTLER 67 In Lake Buena Vista, Fla., Marcus Smart scored 17 points to help the Cowboys survive a major scare against Butler in an Old Spice Classic semifinal. Oklahoma State (7-0) again came out flat to start the second half one day after watching a 23-point halftime lead dwindle to four with 3 minutes to play before beating Purdue 97-87. The Cowboys will play in Sunday night’s championship against No. 21 Memphis, which beat LSU 76-69. With the Cowboys holding a 68-67 lead in the final minute, Smart missed three free throws, including the front end of a 1-and-1.

Five days after a lackluster effort in a 93-84 loss to North Carolina, the Cardinals (6-1) got a better effort on both ends with the help of two new starters. Freshman point guard Terry Rozier got things going offensively by making his first three from beyond the arc en route to nine points, while redshirt freshman center Mangok Mathiang had seven rebounds and three blocks. Jones made 4 of 7 from long range and 5 of 10 overall. Louisville shot 23 of 55 (42 percent) and matched a season high with 12 3-pointers. NO. 14 OREGON 85, PACIFIC 62 In Eugene, Ore., Mike Moser scored 19 points to lead No. 14 Oregon past Pacific.

The freshman finished with 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range.

NO. 25 MARQUETTE 76, GEORGE WASHINGTON 60 In Fullerton, Calif., Davante Gardner scored 20 points and had nine rebounds to lead No. 25 Marquette over George Washington in the semifinals of the Wooden Legacy. Marquette (5-2) used a 12-2 run early in the first half to build a double-digit lead and never trailed. The Colonials (5-1) tried to stage a couple of comebacks in the second half but never got any closer than 12 points in the second half. VILLANOVA 63, NO. 2 KANSAS 59 In Paradise Island, Bahamas, Ryan Arcidiacono’s 3-pointer with 10.1 seconds left put Villanova on top for good, and the Wildcats upset No. 2 Kansas 63-59 in the semifinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis on Friday night. Arcidiacono had missed all five of his previous shots, but made the one that counted — the only field goal for the Wildcats in the final 7 minutes.

HAWKS 88, MAVERICKS 87 In Atlanta, Al Horford made the goahead shot with 4.2 seconds left and Atlanta rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second half to beat Dallas.

Jeff Teague scored 25 points for the Hawks, while Horford finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Mavericks were up 70-55 when point guard Jose Calderon went out late in the third quarter with a sprained right ankle. He was taken for X-rays and did not return. LAKERS 106, PISTONS 102 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Wesley Johnson scored 27 points, and Jordan Farmar led a fourth-quarter rally by Los Angeles, which overcame a 10-point deficit to beat Detroit. Dominated around the basket for most of the night, the Lakers held on when Detroit’s Josh Smith drove into traffic and was called for an offensive foul with 2.7 seconds left and the Pistons down two. Nick Young made two free throws at the other end to put the game away. PACERS 93, WIZARDS 73 In Indianapolis, Paul George scored 23 points and Roy Hibbert added 13 and eight rebounds to lead Indiana past injuryhampered Washington. The Pacers won their sixth straight and extended their best start in franchise history to 15-1. Lance Stephenson flirted with his third triple-double before departing late and had seven points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Indiana, which shot 44 percent and forced 18 turnovers while limiting Washington to 40 percent shooting. PELICANS 121, 76ERS 105 In Philadelphia, Jrue Holiday had 20 points and 13 assists in his first game as a visiting player against his former team, leading New Orleans over Philadelphia. Eric Gordon scored 26 points and Holiday added seven rebounds as the Pelicans (7-8) snapped a four-game road skid. Holiday, an All-Star last season for the

SPURS 109, MAGIC 91 In Orlando, Fla., Tim Duncan scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half, Marco Belinelli also had 19 points, and San Antonio beat Orlando. San Antonio scored 17 straight points in the second quarter, turning a one-point edge into a 58-40 lead, and was able to rest Duncan for much of the second half while Orlando couldn’t slice the deficit into single digits. Both teams were playing without starting guards. The Spurs were without Tony Parker, who had a sprained ankle, and Orlando’s Jameer Nelson was nursing a sprained foot. Both injuries were sustained in games Wednesday night. CELTICS 103, CAVALIERS 86 In Boston, Jeff Green scored 31 points, the most by Boston player this season, and the Celtics beat Cleveland for their third victory in four games. Jordan Crawford had 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Boston, which at 7-11 has the most wins in the Atlantic Division. Avery Bradley scored eight of his 21 points in the first quarter, when the Celtics jumped to an 18-2 lead. They maintained a double-digit edge for the rest of the game.

Bonds: Layups, short shots core of offense Continued from Page B-1 good of a team.” The bond means Herrera, the team’s leading scorer last year, gets to have multiple 30-point games. But the teammate she has the closest bond with on the court wasn’t on that Capshaw team. Senior Jackie Martinez went to DeVargas Middle School, but she is now the biggest part of Herrera’s scoring output. “We have a lot of give and goes,” Herrera said. “The connection between us is really strong.” Those give and goes are the bread and butter of the Demonettes’ offense. Head coach Elmer Chavez runs a difficult read-and-react scheme that yields a lot of layups and short shots. The system can give you lot of points, but it comes with a learning curve. “It’s one of those offenses that you have to do every day,” Chavez said. “It’s taken us two years for our girls to be able to run it well.” The 5-foot shots and layups made the Demonettes’ offense very efficient as they shot over 70 percent four times last year. Chavez always fancied himself a defensive-minded coach, but after attending a coaches camp in May, he realized that his offensive strategies were in high demand. “Our girls were scoring 68 points a game last year, and all these coaches wanted to know what kind of offense we were running,” Chavez said. “All our points are cuts to the basket.” Santa Fe High may not have a problem scoring so close to the basket, but those long balls are what give the team trouble. The read-and-react offense served them well in the regular season last year, but it was not enough in the postseason. The Demonettes are not known for 3-pointers, but it’s something they’re working on. In the season opener against Albuquerque Del Norte on Tuesday, the Demonettes were 0-for-4 from behind the arc, and the players realize that is their biggest weakness. “Our shooting is probably the one thing we had to work on the most,” Martinez said. “Once we went to the state

The Santa Fe High School Demonettes have no shred of doubt that they are good enough to be the AAAA champions at the end of the season. tournament, it was all about who can shoot better. Every team that makes it to state has a big girl just like us, so it wasn’t an inside game anymore. It becomes about who can hit those outside shots when the inside is not open.” The long-distance shooting may be Santa Fe High’s most glaring weakness, but that is not going to stop the team from being a contender again this year. The Demonettes have no shred of doubt that they are good enough to be the AAAA champions at the end of the season. “I feel like if we put our minds to it and we all want it equally as much as we wanted it last year, I think we have a big shot,” Herrera said. In making that run to the championship, players like Martinez, Herrera and LozadaCabbage are going to get a lot of attention for their scoring potential, but they would like to remind everyone that there are more than three players on a team. “It takes 22 hands to make one of our baskets,” Martinez said. “We use all 11 of our girls at all times.” The tight-knit group is going to be tested early as they host Albuquerque Volcano Vista on Dec. 3 and will play in three tournaments by the middle of January. “We’re going to find out real early how good we are,” Chavez said. And so will the rest of the state.

Man simply wants to cuddle with fiancée Dear Annie: I have been with the same woman for six years. Now she has asked me to marry her. We get along terrifically, but when it comes to bedtime, there is no closeness. She says she can’t cuddle with me because she’s been hurt so many times in the past. We sleep with her three big dogs in between us. This doesn’t seem fair to me. If you’re in love, isn’t it only natural to want to hold and cuddle the one you marry? I’m terrified of making the wrong choice. Please help. — No Cuddles in California Dear California: Not everyone likes to cuddle, but someone who puts three dogs between you in bed isn’t even trying.

Otherwise, we don’t recommend you spend the rest of your life wishing things were different with your partner. And should you decide she’s not the one, please have the decency to tell her so you both can move on. Dear Annie: I would like to offer a possible solution to “No Hallmark,” whose sister makes cards that are a work of art and need to be displayed. Now she’s inundated with lovely cards and doesn’t know what to do with them. I have a dear friend who has been making such cards for more than 20 years. I consider them an extension of her personality and spirit. For a long time, I saved the cards in a box. Recently, I took them out, selected a few of my favorites and had them cropped, matted and framed in a collage that I hung in my home office. Whenever I see it, I smile and remember happy times in our friendship. My friend sends me new cards every year. I display them temporarily and then put them into the box. Sometime in the future, I will once

Tonight: Swap news with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Wherever you are, you shine. It is obvious that you are filled with confidence and are making excellent choices. Tonight: Do what pleases you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Be discreet, especially if something bothers you. Choose to be an observer and gather more information. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Zero in on what you want. You might not feel as if your desires can be realized. Think positively so that you don’t jinx yourself. Tonight: Where the gang is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Listen and be more direct when dealing with an older friend who always wants to have it his or her way. Tonight: Till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You still might be trying to detach and understand a recent development in a relationship. Let go of your own inner chatter. Tonight: Try a new music spot.

Hocus Focus

again go through the process of having my favorites framed and hung in a space that needs brightening somewhere in my home. When my friend found out what I had done, it sent her over the moon with happiness — the same way her thoughtfulness in creating and sending the cards makes me feel. — Lucky Recipient Dear Lucky: We received several suggestions from readers who came up with ways to preserve these artistic cards without feeling overwhelmed. Read on: From New York: I am a card maker. I hope the people to whom I send my works of art feel the love and good wishes glued and stamped on that card stock. Here is another option for what to do with the cards after the recipient has finished enjoying them: Offer to give them back to the sender. I keep a scrapbook of my art and often look back at previous work to get ideas for new cards. I certainly would take my cards back. Perhaps No Hallmark’s sister will, too. I bet she would be touched by the fact that the cards are still around after all these years. Sierra Vista, Ariz: “No Hallmark” could donate those cards to a charity, such as St. Jude’s Children’s Ranch (100 St. Jude’s Blvd., Boulder City, NV 89005). The Ranch cares for children from abusive homes, and the kids earn money by recycling used cards into new ones and selling them. California: “No Hallmark” could scan those beautiful cards and save them digitally. That way, she keeps the artwork and sentiments, but doesn’t have to store the physical paper. And she also could easily share them with others. She could even make a virtual album. Louisville: My mother takes cards that she really likes and glues the front to a plain gift bag so the card continues “giving its gift.” I liked the idea enough to start doing it myself.
