Perennial land grant proposal hits new snag

Fighting for ‘Multi-Culturalism’

Lawmakers largely absent for hearing on resolution to tap fund for early ed

For years, it was one of the most talked-about proposals in the Roundhouse.

There was repeated excitement, momentum, controversy and resistance — all over legislation calling for a constitutional amendment to tap more of the state’s nearly $20 billion Land Grant Permanent Fund to pay for early childhood education.

But this year, the atmosphere is more one of muted neglect.

That’s likely because there’s a new kid on the block, a proposal to create an early childhood fund with other revenue streams. The idea has traveled further in its first year than the land grant proposal ever has — it reached the governor’s desk after being passed by the full Senate on Friday.

A big setback for the land grant proposal came Saturday in the Senate Rules Committee, where most members walked out before the legislation, known this year as House Joint Resolution 1, was heard. Many legislators had been in the room for other matters earlier that morning, yet only four were left when HJR 1 was taken up, depriving its supporters of a quorum needed for a vote.

Christina Castro, a founder of Three Sisters Collective, which help organized the rally, said it was about more than the mural.

“If they take this mural away from us, it’s just another symbol they’ve erased. It’s like throwing salt in a wound,” Castro said.

The rally was the most recent flashpoint in what has been a long-running battle between people who believe the planned destruction of Multi-Cultural is part of the Railyard area’s gentrification and Department of Cultural A≠airs o∞cials who say the work is decaying and will have to go as the building is transformed into the Vladem Contemporary art museum.

Guzman designed the mural with Zara Kriegstein in the 1980s to portray New Mexico’s interplay of di≠erent cultures across time.

uralist and painter Gilberto Guzman is consumed by art.

In his small midtown home, he maneuvers through canvases stacked 10 deep against a wall. His clothes hang in a tiny linen closet in the hall, allowing more room to store paintings in his bedroom.

“I can’t help but paint,” he said.

But the future of one of the 88-year-old’s most visible works — a nearly 40-year old mural titled Multi-Cultural on the Guadalupe Street side of the former Halpin State Archives building — remains in dispute.

About 45 protesters on Saturday added their voices, gathering near the Railyard to ask the state to save the mural.

Stearns and Linda Lomahaftewa assisted with the 110-foot by 18-foot mural.

Construction fencing currently encircles the site and will be covered in new, temporary murals under a plan announced last week by the city and a division of the state Department of Cultural A≠airs.

Local artist Hernán Gomez Chavez posted a sign last week in front of the mural that reads, “Do not erase our history. A nation that forgets its past has no future.” He asked artists to boycott painting the temporary murals for the fencing.

“I’m saying this now because I don’t want artists to fall for their tactics; because in order to move forward and save this mural, we can’t just give into them giving us a couple of bucks,” Gomez Chavez said.

Hospital effort aims to reduce overdose risk for patients with opioid addiction

Drs. Theresa Ronan, seated, and Ben Stricks, right, review with Sandra Delamater, lead data specialist, information on patients with opioid addiction at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical center. Stricks says that by giving such patients Suboxone while they receive treatment for health problems, ‘it gives them a better shot at a better outcome.’

A former heroin addict recalls being more afraid of withdrawal than losing her arms.

A business owner and mother, Barbara, who asked that her full name not be used, injected heroin every day for years, causing the veins in her arms to collapse.

She kept shooting the drug into her arm muscles, creating an infection for which she refused to seek medical treatment, even

as it worsened.

Then one day, her arm suddenly broke, so she went to the emergency room at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center.

Doctors told her the infection had spread to her bones and that she would need surgery to save her arms. Even then, she asked to leave because she feared how sick she would feel if she didn’t get a heroin fix. But doctors persuaded her to stay.

When she awoke after the sur-

gery, she felt no withdrawal symptoms or cravings because she’d been given Suboxone, a medication used to treat opioid addiction.

That turned out to be the first step in her recovery.

“It’s been almost a year since I stuck a needle in my arm,” she said.

Barbara was one of the first patients to receive an opioid treatment Christus St. Vincent began administering last year. Patients admitted to the hospital with

NATION&WORLD U.S. defense chief slams Chinese as rising threat to world order

IN BRIEF 14-year-old charged in killing of Barnard College student in NYC NEW YORK — A 14-year-old has been arrested in the fatal stabbing of a Barnard College student in a park during a robbery in December, a crime that rattled New York City residents, authorities said Saturday.

Rashaun Weaver has been indicted by a grand jury and was taken into custody Friday night without incident, New York City police Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a news conference.

Weaver, charged with second-degree murder and robbery, is the second teenager to be charged in the attack on 18-year-old Tessa Majors in a Manhattan park.

“We are confident that we have the person in custody who stabbed her,” Shea said. “And that person will face justice in a court of law.”

The Associated Press is naming the juvenile defendant because of the seriousness of the crime and because he has been charged as an adult. Weaver’s attorney, Elsie Chandler, did not immediately return a call to Neighbor Defender Service of Harlem seeking comment.

Haiti officials say 15 children died in fire at U.S-operated orphanage PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A fire swept through a Haitian children’s home run by a Pennsylvania-based religious nonprofit group, killing 15 children, o∞cials said Friday.

Rose-Marie Louis, a child-care worker at the home, told the Associated Press that the fire began around 9 p.m.

Thursday and firefighters took about 90 minutes to arrive.

The orphanage had been using candles for light due to problems with its generator and inverter, she said.

About half of those who died were babies or toddlers and the others were roughly 10 or 11 years old, Louis said.

Late Friday afternoon, police raided another home also run by the Church of Bible Understanding and took away several dozen children in a bus over protests from employees.

The fire happened at the group’s orphanage in the Kensco≠ area outside Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital.

“It could have been me,” said Renadin Mondeline, a 22-year-old who lived in the home with her son, now 6, for about two years until she started making enough money as a street vendor to start renting her own place to live last year. “These little girls inside were just like my baby.”

Killing of ISIS leader has not hurt group, Kurdish prime minister says MUNICH — Iraqi Kurdistan’s prime minister says the U.S. killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has not a≠ected the extremist group’s ability to operate and is warning that the militants are resurgent.

Masrour Barzani, also the region’s security chief, said that the organization is “regrouping” and mounting attacks in northern and western Iraq. He spoke Saturday to the Washington Post on the sidelines of a security summit in the southern German city of Munich, where he said he had reiterated Kurdish concerns to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo when they met a day earlier.

“His killing has not weakened the ability of ISIS to operate,” Barzani said, using an acronym for the militant group, pointing to the ability of local cells to operate independently of the central leadership. “They have not stopped recruiting more people, they have not stopped attacking,” he added.

Barzani’s warnings come against the background of his government’s e≠orts to urge the United States to find a way to maintain a troop presence in Iraq, amid political backlash in Baghdad over the Trump administration’s targeted killing of top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani on Iraqi soil last month.

U.S. to pay for 11,000 miles of fuel breaks in 6 states to fight wildfires PORTLAND, Ore. — The Bureau of Land Management has announced plans to fund 11,000 miles of strategic fuel breaks in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada and Utah in an e≠ort to help control wildfires.

The fuel breaks are intended to prop up fire mitigation e≠orts and help protect firefighters, communities and natural resources, the Oregonian reported Saturday.

According to the BLM, wildfires are becoming bigger and more frequent across the Great Basin states. Between 2009 and 2018, more than 13.5 million acres of BLM land burned in the project area.

Fuel breaks are intended to break up fire fuels by creating breaks in vegetation that slow a blaze’s progress.

By implementing them strategically, they help firefighters control the spread of fire, and can protect homes and resources.

U.S. Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham testifies Wednesday during a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. The bureau says it has developed two secure data-collection systems, so that if one goes down during the census count, the other can substitute.

Digital census raises fears of Iowa-like fiasco Worries technology-dependent count carries same potential for caucus mayhem — except on an infinitely larger scale

By Mike Schneider Associated Press

T

he stakes are high when a major civic exercise involves a large population, new technology that has not been thoroughly tested and an entire country waiting on the results.

Just ask the organizers of the Iowa caucuses, which o≠ered a cautionary tale on the technological woes that could befall a big political event. Some observers worry that this year’s census carries the same potential for mayhem — except on an infinitely larger scale.

The U.S. Census Bureau plans to try out a lot of new technology. It’s the first oncea-decade census in which most people are being encouraged to answer questions via the internet. Later in the process, census workers who knock on the doors of homes that have not responded will use smartphones and a new mobile app to relay answers.

A government watchdog agency, the Census Bureau’s inspector general and some lawmakers have grown concerned about whether the systems are ready for prime time. Most U.S. residents can start answering the questionnaire in March.

“I must tell you, the Iowa [caucus] debacle comes to mind when I think of the census going digital,” Eleanor Holmes Norton, the congressional delegate for the District of Columbia, said this week at a hearing on the census.

Cybersecurity is another worry. Experts consider the census to be an attractive target for anyone seeking to sow chaos and undermine confidence in the U.S. government, as Russia did in the 2016 presidential election.

In a worst-case scenario, vital records could be deleted or polluted with junk data. Even a lesser assault that interfered with online data collection could erode public confidence. In 2016, a denial-of-service attack knocked Australia’s online census o±ine, flooding it with junk data.

The agency promises that responses to the questionnaire will be kept confidential through encryption, and that it’s working with the Department of Homeland Security and private-sector security experts to thwart cyber attacks. To hinder illegitimate responses, the bureau is blocking foreign IP addresses and stopping bots from filling out fake responses, among many other measures.

The bureau says it has developed two

secure data-collection systems, so that if one goes down, the other can substitute. Other mechanisms are in place to prevent failure and to back up essential functions.

“All systems are go,” bureau Director Steven Dillingham said.

For the past three years, the Government Accountability O∞ce has placed the census on its list of high-risk programs, mainly because it is relying on technology that has not been used before.

Just last week, census o∞cials decided to use a backup data-collection system for handling the online responses. That step was taken after o∞cials grew concerned that the primary system, developed by a third-party contractor, would not be able to handle excessive tra∞c.

The primary system experienced performance problems when up to 400,000 people were answering questions at the same time.

The backup system, called Primus, was developed in-house and can handle up to 600,000 users at once. But it was never tested during a test-run for the decennial census in Rhode Island two years ago.

“Late design changes such as a shift from one system to another can introduce new risks during a critical moment,” Nick Marinos, the GAO’s director of information technology, testified this week at the congressional hearing.

“The bureau needs to quickly ensure that the system is ready and that contingency plans are finalized to reflect this change and fully tested before going live.”

Then there’s the mobile app for census takers who will be sent out to visit the homes of residents who have not filled out the forms

by May. Bureau o∞cials are still working to find out why the app sometimes needs to be restarted or reinstalled for it to work properly, according to a GAO report released last week.

In Iowa, a newly developed smartphone app was blamed for delaying the reporting of results from the presidential contest.

The Census Bureau has not finalized its backup plans for the online questionnaire system. As of the end of last year, the bureau still had to do 191 corrective actions for cybersecurity that were considered “high risk” or “very high risk,” the GAO said.

Last summer, the bureau’s O∞ce of Inspector General identified several weaknesses in the agency’s backup planning e≠orts, including the ability to recover data stored in the cloud in the event of a large-scale attack or disaster.

In the same report, the inspector general said the bureau did not securely use commercial cloud services during census preparations and found many security deficiencies that indicated the agency was “behind schedule and rushed to deploy its systems” for the Rhode Island test-run.

MUNICH — Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Saturday cast China as a rising threat to world order — saying the world’s most populous nation steals Western know-how, intimidates smaller neighbors and seeks an “advantage by any means and at any cost.”

A frequent critic of China, Esper used an address to an international security conference in Munich to give his most comprehensive condemnation yet of a communist country that he said tops the Pentagon’s list of potential adversaries, followed by Russia, “rogue states” like North Korea and Iran, and continuing threats from extremist groups.

“The Chinese Communist Party is heading even faster and further in the wrong direction — more internal repression, more predatory economic practices, more heavy-handedness, and most concerning for me, a more aggressive military posture,” he said.

Esper stressed that the United States does not want conflicts with China, and noted that the U.S. government has provided medical supplies to help China combat a coronavirus outbreak that has infected over 67,000 people. Still, he said Beijing has made clear its long-term intentions and said Europe and the rest of the world must “wake up” to the threats that China poses.

“The Communist Party and its associated organs, including the People’s Liberation Army, are increasingly operating in theaters outside its borders, including Europe, and seeking advantage by any means, and at any cost,” he said.

“While we often doubt the transparency and forthrightness of Beijing, when it comes to their security aims, we should take the Chinese government at its word,” he said. “They have said that by 2035, the PRC intends to complete its military modernization, and, by 2049, it seeks to dominate Asia as the preeminent global military power.”

With words that echoed the Trump administration’s criticisms of Iran, Esper said China represses its people and threatens its neighbors.

“We want China to behave like a normal country,” Esper said, adding “and that means the Chinese government needs to change its policies and behaviors.”

Esper and his immediate predecessor, Jim Mattis, have sought to shift the main focus of U.S. military and security policy toward China and away from small wars against insurgents and extremists.

U.S. allies in Europe, while concerned about China’s rise, are more immediately worried about Russia.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi later responded, telling the forum that Esper and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “say the same thing wherever they go about China” and dismissed their remarks as “lies.”

“The root cause of all these problems and issues is that the U.S. does not want to see the rapid development and rejuvenation of China, and still less would they want to accept the success of a socialist country,” Wang said.

He said China had a “right to develop” and said if Beijing and Washington worked together, it would benefit the whole world.

DOJ lawyers worry Barr leaves them exposed

By Katie Benner, Nicole Hong and Sharon LaFraniere

New York Times

WASHINGTON — In an email a few days ago to the 270 lawyers he oversees, Nicola Hanna, the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, o≠ered a message of reassurance: I am proud of the work you do, he wrote.

Other U.S. attorneys in the Justice Department’s far-flung 93 field o∞ces relayed similar messages of encouragement after President Donald Trump’s e≠orts to influence a politically fraught case provoked the kind of consternation the department has rarely seen since the Watergate era. “All I have to say,” another U.S. attorney wrote to his sta≠, “is keep doing the right things for the right reasons.”

But the fact that the department’s 10,000-odd lawyers needed reassurances seemed like cause for worry all by itself.

In more than three dozen interviews in recent days, lawyers across the federal government’s legal establishment wondered aloud whether Trump was undermining the Justice Department’s treasured reputation for upholding the law without favor or political bias — and whether Attorney General William Barr was able or willing to protect it.

Trump elicited those fears by denouncing federal prosecutors who had recommended a prison sentence of up to nine years for his longtime friend and political adviser Roger Stone. Barr fanned them by scrapping the recommendation in favor of a far more lenient one, leading the prosecutors to quit the case in protest.

Barr then took to national television to complain that Trump’s angry tweets were undermining him and his department’s credibility — a sign to some current and former lawyers that the department’s freedom from political influence is in imminent danger.

Their worries are compounded by the fact that people in Trump’s circle have been mired in so many criminal or ethical scandals that practically any legal action on those cases could be seen through a political lens. As many of the department lawyers and some recently departed colleagues see it, Barr has devoted much of his authority and stature to bolster the president since he took o∞ce a year ago.

In ever stronger terms, he has attacked the FBI’s investigation into whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.

He has said it was mounted on “the thinnest of suspicions” and advanced despite a lack of evidence. The special counsel, Robert Mueller, ultimately found insu∞cient evidence that the president or his advisers engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Russia but documented their openness to Moscow’s sabotage e≠ort.

While he has pledged that the department will not pursue politically motivated investigations, Barr said this month that he had created an “intake process” for the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to forward supposed proof of misconduct in Ukraine. Giuliani has claimed to have evidence damaging to former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

This month, Barr ordered reviews of several politically sensitive cases handled by career prosecutors in Washington, including that of the president’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, which has become a flash point for pro-Trump activists.

Meanwhile, Barr’s expansive view of presidential authority has helped Trump fight o≠ congressional oversight. It was the Justice Department, for instance, that decided it was unnecessary to give Congress the whistleblower complaint that ultimately led to the president’s impeachment.

Barr’s critics say those and other moves have all but invited increasingly aggressive demands from the White House. His supporters in the Justice Department counter that he has used his political capital to protect the department and national security interests. But they sound increasingly worried about whether he will be able to manage the expectations of an ever more volatile president.

Barr’s e≠ort this week to scale back those expectations, o∞cials said, was born of necessity. He is said to have told the president privately that he will not open politically inspired inquiries on Trump’s behalf and that the president’s public comments about specific criminal cases are damaging the department’s work.

The president rejected the idea that the Taliban could be granted greater influence in certain regions of Afghanistan, saying it was “antithetical to the Afghan vision because we are a unified country.”

“The scope of the peace must be national. It cannot be sub-national because otherwise it will be a recipe for another round of conflict,” he said.

The United States has not agreed to suspend or end its counter terrorism operations in Afghanistan, which have been focused mainly on an Islamic State a∞liate, known as ISIS-K, and al-Qaida, said Pentagon spokeswoman Alyssa Farah, who was traveling with Esper.

“Under any agreement, General Miller retains the authorities necessary to protect U.S. national security interests, including the authorities and capabilities to strike ISIS-K and al-Qaida,“ she said, referring to U.S. Gen Scott Miller, the commander of American and coalition forces in Afghanistan.

was due to visit Moscow on Monday to talk discuss the situation in Idlib, much of which remains in rebel hands.

The meeting follows previous visits by a Russian delegation to Ankara. Russia supports Assad, while Turkey backs the opposition.

“There are already people coming to our border and, with Germany’s support, we are going to build temporary shelters but these are temporary solutions,” Cavusoglu said. “We need a cease-fire.”

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said he pushed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey

Lavrov, who was also in Munich, for Russia to lean on Assad’s government to stop the fighting.

“We are very worried that this is going become a humanitarian catastrophe if the fighting there doesn’t stop,” he said.

Cavusoglu said later Saturday he held a positive meeting with Lavrov.

The Russian foreign minister told the Munich conference after that meeting that parts of Idlib remain “one of the last hotbeds of terrorism, at least the only one on the west bank of the Euphrates.”

Lavrov said that agreements between Moscow and Ankara “imply both a cease-fire and a

demilitarized zone, but most importantly drawing a line between the normal opposition and terrorists.”

“These agreements do not mean the hard fighting against the terrorist the threat will stop,” he said.

Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, said at a news conference that Russia is the key to stopping the crisis since it provides the Syrian government with aerial support. “Russia o≠ers various excuses,” he said.

Roth acknowledged the presence of thousands of jihadists in Idlib but said “that does not justify the indiscriminate bombardment of the civilian population.”

Fighting for ‘Multi-Culturalism’ Continued from Page A-1

Alicia Inez Guzmán, a writer and artist from Truchas who is related to the muralist, said the battle over the mural is a bigger fight over an attempt to erase people of color from a historic area of Santa Fe. “We acknowledge public art has a lifespan. We acknowledge it doesn’t live forever and there can be an ephemeral quality to it,” she said. “But what we do not acknowledge is the erasure of our voice in this very particular space.”

Protester Doug Belknap, 69, said the Department of Cultural A≠airs owes the public an explanation, adding it makes sense to have contemporary art outside a contemporary art museum and calling the idea to put it inside “retrograde.”

“The whole art world, around the world, recognizes that art needs to get out of museums and out of the galleries and into the world to have some impact,” Belknap said.

State o∞cials say the mural, which was completed in the 1980s and restored in the 1990s, is in poor condition, pointing to an assessment by an independent paintings conservator from Denver who found extensive cracking of stucco layers, fading from the sun and water damage.

Cultural A≠airs Secretary Debra Garcia y Griego said the report showed the mural has reached the end of its life span, which public art programs consider to be a period of five to 10 years.

“I feel the department has made the di∞cult, yet correct decision that the mural cannot be saved,” Garcia y Griego said.

Gilberto Guzman said he agrees the mural has deteriorated, but he insists the art needs to be redone and must remain on the building visible from the street.

“Not everybody can a≠ord to go to the museum, let’s face it,” Guzman said.

It’s temporary, he said, but that’s the point.

“It will deteriorate, of course — that’ll be another decade or so,” he said. “At that point, they can redo it or take it down and get someone [to paint a new mural].”

Guzman said he would lead a team, with young people from Española and surrounding pueblos, to help repaint the mural because he can’t climb on scaffolding or spend long hours working.

In late January, he wrote a letter to state political leaders and the public asking for “support in helping the Department of Cultural A≠airs and I agree on a building design” that would keep the mural in its current location.

His letter referenced a contract made in the 1980s that said the state retained all rights to ownership but “expresses its intent not to alter or paint over the mural during its normal life.”

Theresa Sanchez, a friend of Guzman’s who has sat in on negotiations with Cultural A≠airs o∞cials, said she helped deliver his letter to get the word out.

“There is a lot of support for the mural,” she said. “And I want the public to use their voice and tell the department that they don’t want to see it go.”

In the 2019 legislative session, Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, introduced a proposal to give the Cultural A≠airs Department $52,600 “to contract and commission a mural for the New Mexico Museum of Art,” which is expanding to the Vladem site.

The appropriation was approved, but the department did not use the funds.

Ortiz y Pino, who said he is looking into whether the funds can be reauthorized, said he would sign o≠ on any compromise the groups may make.

“I’ll support whatever agreement they reach,” he said. “The intent was to preserve that mural somehow.”

But Garcia y Griego said the Cultural A≠airs Department, which has the final

say, does not intend to put any mural on the museum’s outer walls.

“We have decided that is not a viable solution for a museum environment — that we put a mural up and that it has a lifespan of five to 10 years,” she said.

“We were excited about the idea of recreating the mural and keeping it inside, where it can be preserved and protected and maintained into perpetuity.”

She said she met with Guzman to discuss other options for preserving the artwork, and they came to a verbal agreement in the fall to create a smaller replica, painted on panels, to hang inside the museum lobby.

“The point in doing that was to maintain the legacy of the mural and to

also maintain some of Gilberto’s art, his hand on the site,” Garcia y Griego said.

The panels would be made a permanent part of the museum’s collection and displayed in a publicly accessible area, with no ticket required, alongside historical signs and wooden beams from the building, she said. If there’s no agreement to repaint the mural, she added, o∞cials plan to display photos and a plaque, along with pieces of the original mural.

Guzman said he rejected the o≠er in September because he couldn’t be sure the museum would keep the mural on display.

Meanwhile, Garcia y Griego hinted the department would meet with the

city to discuss the possibility of relaxing restrictions against new murals downtown but could not provide a timeline.

“I think this is a larger community conversation around murals and how Santa Fe is going to support the work of mural artists going forward, given the legacy that exists,” Garcia y Griego said.

Guzman said he has been worn down fighting for the mural, but vows to go in the e≠ort to save it and to inspire others to bring art to the streets.

“It’s so wonderful to have the art, outdoors, walking along, then to see a mural with beautiful colors that hits them like — bam!” he said. “I would like to encourage people to appreciate art, to live on another level.”

Perennial land grant proposal hits new snag Continued from Page A-1

“I apologize. Some of my members decided to pick up and leave,” said committee Chairwoman Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, later adding she believed the absent members left the room on purpose because they opposed the bill. “I’ve been here for many years and I understand the game that’s being played.”

Some of those absent, such as Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen, D-Las Cruces, and Sen. Cli≠ Pirtle, R-Roswell, later denied that they left because they opposed the bill, saying they needed to head to the floor session.

Yet Minority Leader Stuart Ingle, while saying he had no knowledge of any coordinated e≠ort to avoid a quorum, o≠ered a more blunt assessment.

“It’s not a bad way to kill a bill,” said Ingle, R-Portales.

Lopez said she would keep the initiative on the committee’s agenda for its next meeting, on Monday, but she expects members might again leave to prevent a vote. If that happens, the bill faces near-certain death because the session ends Thursday.

While the bill has been blocked by Senate committees in the past, this year is di≠erent because the political will and momentum have clearly shifted to the new proposal: House Bill 83 and its counterpart Senate Bill 3. They call for an appropriation of $320 million to start a new Early Childhood Education and Care Fund that would draw on two other funding sources in future years.

Why has the bid to tap the land grant fund been superseded?

First and foremost: the oil boom. The huge one-time appropriation to create the fund — and, likely, subsequent distributions from the state’s oil and gas emergency school tax and revenue from federal mineral leases — wouldn’t be possible without New Mexico’s unprecedented oil windfall.

Another key reason is Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming. The powerful chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, whose command of all things money-related is formidable, has been adamant for years about not touching the land grant fund. Last year, he refused to put the proposal to a committee vote even after Gov. Michelle Lujan

Grisham advocated for it before the panel with her 3-year-old granddaughter in tow.

Yet Smith is supportive of the new trust fund proposal — he co-sponsored the bill alongside Rep. Doreen Gallegos, D-Las Cruces. That goes a long way to getting political momentum, as does the fact that it’s one of Lujan Grisham’s top priorities for the session and other moderate Democrats and Republicans back it, too.

“The reality is we’ve created a way to fund these programs, so HJR 1 becomes a moot point,” Pirtle said.

Supporters of the land grant proposal, such as co-sponsors Moe Maestas and Javier Martínez, both Democratic representatives from Albuquerque, have said they’ll keep pushing regardless of what happens with the early education fund bill. And some proponents sharply criticized the lawmakers who walked out Saturday.

“The opponents don’t even want to come and say why they’re against it,” Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, said. “This is really a scandal that we won’t even take a look at this.”

The other absent Democrats were Sens. Clemente Sanchez of Grants and Daniel Ivey-Soto of Albuquerque. All Republicans on the panel were missing: Ingle, Pirtle, Greg Baca of Belen and Mark Moores of Albuquerque.

Lopez, who supports the land grant proposal, said that even if the bill dies this year, it could gain momentum again next year if the political composition of the Senate changes after November’s elections and becomes more favorable to the idea.

If the bill were passed by the Legislature, it would still need voter approval in a general election.

“I think the voters deserve a chance to make this decision,” Lopez said.

New virus cases fall; WHO says China bought world time

By Yanan Wang Associated Press

BEIJING — China reported 143 virus deaths and a dip in new cases Saturday while the head of the World Health Organization praised the country’s e≠orts to contain the new disease, saying they have “bought the world time” and that other nations must make the most of it.

France, meanwhile, reported Europe’s first death from the new virus, a Chinese tourist from Hubei province, where the disease emerged in December. The United States was preparing to fly home American passengers quarantined aboard a cruise ship in Japan.

China reported 2,641 new cases in the 24 hours through midnight Friday, raising its total to 66,492. Mainland China’s death toll rose to 1,523.

The number of new cases was down from the 5,090 in the previous 24-hour period after authorities changed the basis for counting patients. Numbers of new cases have fluctuated, fueling both optimism the disease might be under control and warnings that such hopes are premature.

The U.N. health agency’s Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, urged governments to step up their e≠orts to prepare for the virus, saying “it’s impossible to predict which direction this epidemic will take.”

Tedros told a gathering of international foreign and security policy leaders in Germany on Saturday that WHO is encouraged there has not yet been widespread transmission outside China and that “the steps China has taken to contain the outbreak at its source appear to have bought the world time.”

“We’re encouraged that an international team of experts is now on the ground working closely with Chinese counterparts to understand the outbreak,” Tedros told the Munich Security Conference.

But he said the agency is “concerned by the continued increase in the number of cases in China” and by reports about the number of health workers who have been infected or died.

“We’re concerned by the lack of urgency in funding the response from the international community,” Tedros said.

“We must use the window of opportunity we have to intensify our preparedness,” he added. “China has bought the world time. We don’t know how much time.”

China’s government suspended most access to Wuhan, the city at the center of the outbreak, on Jan. 23. Restrictions have expanded to cities with a total of 60 million people in the broadest anti-disease measures ever imposed. Restaurants, shops and other businesses nationwide were ordered to close.

The Lunar New Year holiday was extended to keep factories and o∞ces closed, but now

o∞cials have been ordered to revive business activity as economic losses mount.

Authorities have announced measures to try to curb new infections as millions of workers crowd into planes, trains and buses to return to densely populated cities.

Under the new measures, people returning to Beijing will have to isolate themselves at home for 14 days, according to a notice published Friday. It said people who fail to comply will face legal consequences but gave no details.

COVID-19, a disease stemming from a new form of coronavirus, has spread to more than two dozen countries.

In Japan, the U.S. Embassy said a chartered aircraft will arrive late Sunday to fly home Americans aboard the cruise ship Diamond Princess in Yokohama, near Tokyo. The passengers have been quarantined aboard the ship since Feb. 5, but they will face another two-week quarantine after arriving in the United States.

Those who return to the U.S. will fly to Travis Air Force Base in California, and some will fly onward to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, said an embassy statement. It said no one with symptoms would be allowed aboard the flight.

Hong Kong’s government said its residents aboard the cruise ship also will be flown home as soon as possible, and they too would face a second quarantine.

The United States has a problem: The share of American adults who work is low, compared to other developed nations. Economists say this holds the nation back — the economy and wages should grow faster when more people are working.

Experts have been trying to figure out why so many adults remain on the sidelines, especially in a good economy. According to the latest Labor Department data, about 83 percent of American adults in their prime worker years (ages 25-54) are participating in the labor force, meaning they have a job or are actively looking for one.

That’s up from a few years ago, but still below the levels of the late 1990s, and way below the rates of Germany, Japan, Canada, France and the United Kingdom.

So what’s going on? U.S. senators asked Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell about labor force participation last week, especially after Powell said getting more people in the labor force is a “national priority.”

In response, Powell told senators to blame the education system and the opioids epidemic, not welfare.

“It isn’t better or more comfortable to be poor and on public benefits now, it’s actually worse than it was,” Powell said.

When Sen. John Neely Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, asked Powell if “the richness of our social programs” makes people less inclined to look for work because they can get a government check for not working, Powell dismissed that idea. The vast majority of economists agree with the Fed chair, a Republican who worked for President George H.W. Bush before embarking on a career in private equity and later at the central bank.

“It’s very hard to make that connection, and I’ll tell you why,” Powell told Kennedy. “If you look in real terms, adjusted for inflation, at the benefits that people get, they’ve actually declined, during this period of declining labor force participation.”

Economists across the political spectrum agree with Powell. Since the major bipartisan e≠ort to revamp welfare in 1996, it’s become much harder to receive money from the government unless you are either working or disabled.

“The spirit of what the Fed chair was saying is you can’t blame lagging or declining labor force participation on the welfare benefit system,” said Matt Weidinger, the Rowe fellow in poverty studies at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute.

U.S. soldiers survey damage from Iranian missile strikes in January on Ain al-Asad base in Iraq.

‘It’s bad, bad, bad’: Military has no reliable test for brain injuries

By Dave Philipps and Thomas Gibbons-Neff New York Times

U

.S. troops at Ain al-Asad Air Base in western Iraq hunkered down in concrete bunkers last month as Iranian missile strikes rocked the runway, destroying guard towers, hangars and buildings used to fly drones.

When the dust settled, President Donald Trump and military o∞cials declared that no one had been killed or wounded during the attack. That would soon change.

A week after the blast, Defense Department o∞cials acknowledged that 11 service members had tested positive for traumatic brain injury, or TBI, and had been evacuated to Kuwait and Germany for more screening. Two weeks after the blast, the Pentagon announced that 34 service members were experiencing symptoms associated with brain injuries and that an additional seven had been evacuated. By the end of January, the number of potential brain injuries had climbed to 50. Last week, it grew to 109.

The Defense Department says the numbers are driven by an abundance of caution. It noted that 70 percent of those who tested positive for a TBI had since returned to duty. But experts in the brain injury field said the delayed response and confusion were primarily caused by a problem both the military and civilian world have struggled with for more than a decade: There is no reliable way to determine who has a brain injury and who does not.

Top military leaders have for years called traumatic brain injury one of the signature wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the height of the Iraq War in 2008, they started pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into research on detection and treatment. But the military still has no objective tool for diagnosing brain injury in the field. Instead, medical personnel continue to use a paper questionnaire that relies on answers from patients — patients who may have reasons to hide or exaggerate symptoms, or who may be too shaken to answer questions accurately.

The military has long struggled with how to address so-called invisible war wounds, including traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. Despite big investments in research that have yielded advances in the laboratory, troops on the ground are still being assessed with the same blunt tools that have been in use for generations.

The problem is not unique to the military.

Civilian doctors struggle to accurately assess brain injuries and still rely on a process that grades the severity of a head injury in part by asking patients

a series of questions: Did they black out? Do they have memory problems or dizziness? Are they experiencing irritability or di∞culty concentrating?

“It’s bad, bad, bad. You would never diagnose a heart attack or even a broken bone that way,” said Dr. Je≠ Bazarian, a professor of emergency medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

“And yet we are doing it for an injury to the most complex organ in the body. Here’s how crazy it gets: You are relying on people to report what happened. But the part of the brain most often a≠ected by a traumatic brain injury is memory. We get a lot of false positives and false negatives.”

Without a good diagnosis, he said, doctors often don’t know whether a patient has a minor concussion that might require a day’s rest, or a life-threatening brain bleed, let alone potential long-term e≠ects like depression and personality disorder.

At Ain al-Asad, personnel used the same paper questionnaires that field medics used in remote infantry platoons in 2010. Aaron Hepps, who was a Navy corpsman in a Marines infantry company in Afghanistan at that time, said it did not work well then for lesser cases, and the injuries of many Marines may have been missed. During and after his deployment, he counted brain injuries in roughly 350 Marines — about a third of the battalion. After the January missile attack, Maj. Robert Hales, one of the top medical providers at the air base, said the initial tests were “a good start,” but that it took numerous screenings and awareness among the troops to realize that repeated exposure to blast waves during the hourlong missile strikes had a≠ected dozens.

Traumatic brain injuries are among the most common injuries of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in part because armor to protect from bullet and shrapnel wounds has gotten better, but they o≠er little protection from the shock waves of explosions. More than 350,000 brain injuries have been reported in the military since 2001.

A tangle of factors make diagnosing head injuries in the military particularly tricky, experts say.

Some troops try to hide symptoms so they can stay on duty or avoid being perceived as weak. Others may play up or even invent symptoms that can make them eligible for the Purple Heart medal or valuable veteran’s education and medical benefits.

And sometimes commanders suspect troops with legitimate injuries of malingering and force them to return to duty. Pentagon o∞cials said privately last week that some of the injuries from the Jan. 8 incident had probably been exaggerated.

Trump seemed to dismiss the injuries at a news conference in Davos, Switzerland, last month. “I heard they had headaches,” he said. “I don’t consider them very serious injuries relative to other injuries I have seen.”

Easing withdrawal is vital in getting patients to accept medical care for the health problems that put them in the hospital — otherwise, they’ll defy the doctors’ advice and leave, Stricks said.

“The patients will just jump up and say, ‘I’m out of here,’ no matter how dangerous their illness is and whether we say, ‘We think you just might die if you leave,’ ” Stricks said. “They will just leave.”

Hospitals have been slow to adopt Suboxone and buprenorphine treatments, even though it’s been known for a long time that they e≠ectively counter opioid addiction, said Dr. Josh Leiderman, director of La Familia’s recovery program.

That’s because an “X waiver” has been required to administer opioid medications since Congress passed the 2000 Drug Addiction Treatment Act, Leiderman said. As a result, most hospitals haven’t wanted to hassle with getting their doctors certified, he said.

In recent years, programs that o≠er training and certifications have become more common, making it easier for hospitals like Christus St. Vincent to get on board, Leiderman said.

Leiderman said he’s certain Christus St. Vincent’s program has resulted in more of its patients being handed o≠ successfully to La Familia.

“We get people coming from there that wouldn’t have come otherwise,” Leiderman said.

Barbara said she hopes people struggling with heroin addiction will seek help through the hospital’s program.

“Those who want to be sober but can’t because they’re afraid of withdrawals — this is the perfect program for them,” she said.

Bloomberg has battled allegations of sexist comments for years

By Michael Kranish Washington Post

NEW YORK — As Michael Bloomberg celebrated his 48th birthday in 1990, a top aide at the company he founded presented him with a booklet of profane, sexist quotes she attributed to him.

A good salesperson is like a man who tries to pick up women at a bar by saying, “Do you want to[expletive]? He gets turned down a lot — but he gets [expletive] a lot, too!” Bloomberg was quoted in the booklet as saying. Bloomberg also allegedly said that his company’s financial information computers “will do everything, including give you [oral sex]. I guess that puts a lot of you girls out of business.”

At the time, some Bloomberg sta≠ers said, they laughed o≠ the comments in the 32-page booklet, the Wit and Wisdom of Michael Bloomberg, as a macho side of one of the nerdiest men on Wall Street.

But others viewed them more darkly, seeing them as blunt examples of what they considered to be a hostile environment, artifacts of a workplace employees said was saturated with degrading comments.

Several lawsuits have been filed over the years alleging that women were discriminated against at Bloomberg’s business-information company, including a case brought by a federal agency and one filed by a former employee, who blamed Bloomberg for creating a culture of sexual harassment and degradation.

The most high-profile case was from a former saleswoman.

She sued Bloomberg personally as well as his company, alleging workplace discrimination. She alleged Bloomberg told her to “kill it” when he learned she was pregnant. Bloomberg has denied her allegation under oath, and he reached a confidential settlement

with the saleswoman.

The Washington Post interviewed a former Bloomberg employee, David Zielenziger, who said he witnessed the conversation with the saleswoman.

Zielenziger, who said he had not previously spoken publicly about the matter, said Bloomberg’s behavior toward the woman was “outrageous. I understood why she took o≠ense.”

While allegations about Bloomberg’s comments and treatment of women have received notice over the years, a review by the Post of thousands of pages of court documents, depositions obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and interviews with witnesses underscores how Bloomberg and his company, Bloomberg LP, have fought the claims.

A number of the cases have either been settled, dismissed in Bloomberg’s favor or closed because of a failure of the plainti≠ to meet filing deadlines. The cases do not involve accusations of inappropriate sexual conduct; the allegations have centered around what Bloomberg has said and about the workplace culture he fostered. Now, as Bloomberg is increasingly viewed as a viable Democratic candidate for president and the #MeToo era has raised the profile of workplace harassment, he is finding that his e≠orts to prevent disclosure are clashing against demands that he release former employees and complainants from their nondisclosure agreements.

The allegations that he tolerated a hostile o∞ce culture could undercut his ability to criticize President Donald Trump’s alleged sexual misconduct and e≠orts to keep such claims private. Bloomberg declined an interview request. A spokesman said Bloomberg would not release anyone from a confidentiality agreement and that he would not release his depositions in the cases.

Sanders’ bond with Latinos tested in Nevada

By Michelle L. Price and Nicholas Riccardi

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, NEV. — When the Bernie Sanders for President campaign set up shop in Las Vegas, in July, its first move was to open an o∞ce in the city’s east side, the heart of the Latino community. Sta≠ers decorated the stark space with brightly colored paper banners known as papel picado and threw an o∞ce opening party with a mariachi band and an appearance from Sanders himself.

Three times a day canvassers spill out of its doors to walk the streets, knocking on doors, calling out at neighbors in Spanish and talking up Sanders — or as he is known to some Latino supporters, “Tio Bernie.”

A self-declared socialist from Vermont, Sanders is sometimes pigeon holed as the hero to white college students and lefty boomers. But his campaign believes his outreach to diverse voters, especially Latinos in places like east Las Vegas, will be the secret to his success.

Four years ago, Sanders’ failure to muster enough support from minority voters was partly to blame for his losing the Democratic nomination. This time around, he has transformed his outreach to Hispanic voters, hiring high-level Latino advisers, beefing up Spanish-speaking canvassing and digging deep into Latino neighborhoods to

The a≠ection has been somewhat surprising for some Latinos activists who were frustrated with Sanders after he helped kill a 2007 immigration bill, warning it would drive down wages. But for many Latinos, like other voters, their knowledge of Sanders starts with the 2016 run, when he championed immigrant rights and promised an economic revolution.

Look to my father’s vision to confront climate crises

n his 1963 book The Quiet Crisis, my father, former Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, sounded the alarm about the creeping destruction of nature. “Each generation has its own rendezvous with the land, for despite … our claims of ownership, we are all brief tenants on this planet,” he wrote. “By choice, or by default, we will carve out a land legacy for our heirs.”

Jan. 31 would have been Stewart’s 100th birthday. And 57 years after The Quiet Crisis, it is more urgent than ever we heed his words to save the natural world.

As secretary under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, my father was the visionary leader of a burgeoning conservation and environmental movement. Early on, the then-Bureau of Reclamation chief flew him over southern Utah to show him the “next” big dam. My dad took one look at the red-rock spires below and didn’t see a dam, but the next national park. He took this vision back and established Canyonlands National Park.

Canyonlands is one of four national parks, six national monuments, nine recreation areas, 20 historic sites and 56 wildlife refuges that Stewart helped create. In the face of environmental damage, he worked to enact some of our most successful conservation programs, including the Land and Water Please see story on Page B-4

Plant-based foods are easier on environment

G

ary Reynolds is absolutely correct in his letter to the editor (“Open your eyes,” Feb. 9). However, he missed one key solution to the problem — stop eating animals and their byproducts. Raising animals for food is decimating the planet. It is a top contributor to climate chaos and is the leading cause of water use, water pollution, topsoil loss, rainforest destruction, habitat loss and species extinction. Any credible environmental group and science institution has come out in support of plant-based foods.

With the world adding over 1 million people every five days, it is inevitable that we are forced to make the transition. The United Nations Environment Program sums it up best, “Our use of animals as a food-production technology has brought us to the verge of catastrophe.”

Give us real solutions Dale Dekker’s and John Garcia’s My View (“Repeal New Mexico’s tax on Social Security benefits,” Feb. 9), leaves little room for argument against their proposition. How unjust it is to give millions of dollars in tax breaks to the film industry while taxing the elderly’s meager retirement benefits that they worked so hard for all their lives.

On an evening television news spot last week, the anchor reported that the film industry created 1,600 jobs in the state in 2019. He revealed, however, that the bulk of these jobs were temporary and that if an actor had five roles during the year, they would be considered as five separate jobs. What chicanery! The extra revenue that would result from the tax repeal would be far more beneficial to New Mexicans than those touted for the film industry. Why the charade? Please, legislators, give us real solutions for New Mexico’s economic woes.

Anne Marion: A woman of grace, vision

O

n Tuesday, Santa Fe lost a great lady, and its arts community lost a phenomenal friend.

Some 25 years ago, Anne Windfohr Marion and her husband, John Marion, took the formal legal steps to create the Georgia O’Kee≠e Museum to honor the life and legacy of America’s foremost female artist of the 20th century, Georgia O’Kee≠e.

The museum opened in 1997 and quickly became the most visited art museum in New Mexico.

O’Kee≠e had died in 1986 at 98 in New Mexico, her adopted home for the second half of her life. The late Stanley Marcus of retail fame (like Anne a Texan and a part-time resident of Santa Fe), came up with the idea of creating a single-artist museum devoted to O’Kee≠e’s life and work in the Northern New Mexico setting she had long called home. But Stanley was approaching advanced age, so he asked Anne and John to undertake the e≠ort of founding the new museum.

And did they respond!

Anne, a passionate art collector and philanthropist, and John, a former chief auctioneer and chairman of Sotheby’s, recruited high-powered talent from both Santa Fe and around the country.

Jill Cooper Udall, an attorney and the wife of Sen. Tom Udall, led the incorporating e≠ort and served on the museum’s board for well over a decade, as did Saul Cohen, a fellow attorney.

In fact, Saul chaired the enormously important e≠ort to secure full accreditation of the museum by the American Please see story on Page B-4

I am a Jewish American and I’ve made numerous trips to Israel and the West Bank. I have personally witnessed: u Elderly Palestinian women and men held in the sun or rain at checkpoints, their belongings strewn on the ground by Israeli soldiers barely out of their teens. u Israeli settlers in Hebron, West Bank, throwing garbage onto the roofs of Palestinian homes and physically assaulting Palestinian children on their way to school while Israeli soldiers stand by and watch. u Israeli settlers forcefully ejecting Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem, taking them over, with no legal consequence for doing so.

To speak out against these injustices does not make me an anti-Semite. To speak out against the $3.8 billion that my government gives to Israel every year that perpetuates these abuses, does not make me an anti-Semite, nor does the mural on Old Pecos Trail (“City says pro-Palestinian art has to be removed,” Jan. 14), which highlights these human rights abuses and shows how our U.S. tax dollars are being spent.

We have a Constitution, which what I call the Democratic Socialist Party shreds at every opportunity. In my opinion, the “red-flag” laws violate four amendments to our U.S. Constitution (“Senate passes ‘red-flag’ gun bill,” Feb. 8): Second Amendment, the right to bear arms; Fourth Amendment, the right against unreasonable searches and seizures; Fifth Amendment, the right not to be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; and the Sixth Amendment, the right to a speedy and public trial, and to be confronted with the witnesses against him.

We have all seen how “well” socialism and gun confiscation, of any type, have worked in Germany’s National Socialist Party, Venezuela, China, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, Cambodia, Ethiopia, North Korea, Poland and Romania, to name a few. Socialists take your money for wealth redistribution, your guns and your freedom.

And once they have your guns, they come for you.

Reform expectations to save Western rivers

R

ecently, former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt proposed an alternative to the highly controversial yet di∞cult-to-kill Gila River diversion project, which would dam and divert water from the last free-flowing river in New Mexico (“Damming the Gila a vampire proposal,” My View, Feb. 2).

While the Gila proposal already is on life support because of missed deadlines and waning public and political support, water managers refuse to abandon it because a legal “right” to that water remains.

While Babbitt’s proposal waves the white flag on the Gila diversion project, he suggests as a path forward stealing the 4.6 billion gallons (14,000 acre-feet) of water from another source in the Colorado River Basin — the San Juan River near Chama.

The San Juan River, like the Gila, is a spectacular Western river. It is home to a full suite of recreational opportunities, supports communities and Native cultures in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona, and it provides refuge to more than a half-dozen native fish, including the endangered Colorado pikeminnow and razorback sucker. The San Juan River, like almost every remaining Western river, cannot a≠ord to sacrifice one more drop.

Babbitt claims that such a diversion will “have a negligible e≠ect on the San

Juan River.” This is simply untrue and is based on institutional climate denial.

In fact, a recent study by Katrina E. Bennett, et al., found that climate change will significantly impact water supplies in the San Juan River basin and concluded that even just “meeting minimum flow requirements is likely to be a major challenge.”

The truth is any diversion project — whether from the Gila or the San Juan River — is a bankrupt deal based on the already extreme overallocation of the Colorado River Basin and climate change.

So, the question becomes, when are we going to realize that water in Western rivers is not unlimited and that the promises of the past and the expectations surrounding them for the future need to be fundamentally reformed?

The “water bu≠alos” — those water engineers, lawyers and politicians who built the pyramid of “entitlements” and “rights” — have created an intractable system. Rather than recognizing water and rivers as “the commons” that are held in trust for all people and the environment, water has become a commodity to be bought, sold and moved to the highest bidder in order to perpetuate this unsustainable shell game.

Instead of holding these “entitlements” — like the 14,000 acre-feet that State Engineer Steve Reynolds negotiated for New Mexico in the

20th century — as sacrosanct, we need to eliminate the demand by simply retiring the right back to the river.

This may seem like a radical idea, but climate scientists and others are starting to express this reality. Bradley Udall was recently quoted in the NM Political Report saying, “We’re going to have to look at demand and how we manage to shed demand [in a way] that does the least amount of damage to communities and the environment and our economy.”

The water crisis before us is very similar to the climate crisis that is upon us. To slow climate change, we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground. This transition will not be easy but is imperative. Likewise, to ease the impending water crisis, we need to stop taking more water from Western rivers, eliminate any remaining pie-in-the-sky entitlements and stop the construction of new dams and diversions.

To be sure, water demands over the next century will increase given population growth and climate change; however, until we learn to conserve water and live within our rivers’ means, no river will be safe from future dams, diversions and destruction.

unch with Bobbie Gutierrez, probably like a lot of things with Bobbie Gutierrez, is pretty joyful.

Over a green chile enchilada, she gushes about her granddaughter and recalls with fondness the Sunday afternoons of grading papers, preparing lesson plans, writing the sta≠ newsletter. For free.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, because she’s nearing the finish line of a race well-run, but there’s also the sense she knew she loved the race even while she was running it.

But then there’s the question: What happens when it’s over? And with that, Gutierrez — the outgoing superintendent of Española Public Schools, nearing the end of a career in public education — grows pensive.

“Nobody wants you to leave,” she says in a near-whisper, the straight-outta-Lubbock twang barely discernible. “That’s Phill Casaus hard. It was a hard Commentary decision for me to make at a lot of levels.”

Come the end of June, Gutierrez is departing Española after a second tour as the district’s leader when her contract ends. Unlike a lot of getaways from that district, she says this one isn’t about overt school board politics or rancor or the fallout from firing, of all things, a basketball coach.

Nope, she says, this time it’s just the right moment, and with a new board taking o∞ce this year, there’s the opportunity to hand over the reins and contemplate the next chapter.

“It’s not my next 30 [years],” Gutierrez, 63, says of the future. “It’s my last 30.”

Beyond Gutierrez’s pretty sunset, however, there is real concern for public education in general.

There was a time when America and New Mexico produced thousands of Bobbie Gutierrezes each year — people who saw public education as a life choice, an honorable career and, yes, a way to move up. But those days seem far away now, with school administrators hunting for young replacements with the desperate zeal (and disappointment) of those who pan for gold.

The people who monitor these things — and usually, it’s superintendents and principals, the lucky ones charged with finding qualified teachers to sta≠ classrooms — say hiring time is close to a nightmare now. What once was a pipeline is now a straw. Not many high school or college students are interested in becoming teachers, which means universities are producing fewer of them, which means school districts are hoping they can limp by with long-term substitutes or some other kind of BandAid. And it’s not just teachers. Schools are short of nurses, social workers, counselors.

The worry is so acute that Gutierrez’s board of education in Española declared the teacher shortage a public health crisis, almost as if the new coronavirus were about to descend upon the Valley.

The board might just be right.

“I think what makes me the most sad about all of it, is the very thing that built this country is public education; it’s truly the backbone of the country and why our Founding Fathers came here to begin with. To break out of that class system and everything else,” Gutierrez says. “And yet, the very thing that built our country is being torn apart.

In New Mexico, partisans can work together

B

efore the legislative session ends at noon Thursday, much work remains to be completed.

Most important, of course, is working out the details of a budget totaling around $7.6 billion. That’s job one. Passing a budget, after all, is why New Mexico legislators convene for 30 days in even-numbered years.

There already has been the predictable warnings about the House-approved budget from the Senate side — enter Finance Committee chairman Sen. John Arthur Smith, noted budget hawk. He is promising $160 million or so in cuts to a budget he doesn’t like much, as well as moving money around to fund different priorities than House legislators chose. This is small potatoes. The key for the Legislature is to ensure that around 25 percent of the money coming in is put away for a rainy day. If the House failed, the Senate will make sure the reserve goal is met.

Republicans, too, are calling the budget-

making process a “spending frenzy.” It’s a phrase that gets attention, though it’s too bad their favored alternatives always fall back to asinine proposals like Colorado’s “Taxpayer Bill of Rights” law, a monument to rigid thinking and bad execution. Still, fiscal hawks have a point: New Mexico’s newfound oil wealth is not endless, and the Legislature should not be an all-you-can-spend buffet.

But this is no frenzy. This is a governor and Legislature making sensible investments in public schools, higher education, economic development, infrastructure and public safety.

It’s what New Mexico must do to rebuild.

And despite the bickering that is part of the political process, both Republicans and Democrats have worked together on legislation in a manner that the fractured Congress would do well to emulate.

There will be a trust fund set up to fund early childhood education, with the amount ranging from $300 million to $320 million.

This had bipartisan support, passing the

House 51-14, and was sponsored by Rep. Doreen Gallegos and Sen. Smith. Its final form will be worked out in the last days of this session. A bill to cap the cost of insulin is receiving bipartisan support.

The Kiki Saavedra Senior Dignity Fund for the elderly has passed the House, again with backers from both parties. Pension reform is advancing with support from both Democrats and Republicans. Anti-crime legislation, backed by the governor, Republicans and some Democrats, is taking shape, including measures to increase penalties for using guns to commit crimes and to fund more community policing efforts.

The governor’s Opportunity Scholarship initiative, which will help students attend college tuition-free — fulfilling the promise of the Lottery Scholarship to cover tuition for New Mexico high school graduates — should make it into law. By remaining open to negotiation, Lujan Grisham demonstrated again why it matters to have a chief executive who

is interested in governing, rather than passing laws by executive fiat. Her initial bill made tuition available only after all other moneys, including federal loans, had been tapped; now students can get these scholarships before obtaining federal dollars.

Even a defeat of high-profile legislation — the legalization of cannabis — was bipartisan in nature, with Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee joining with Republicans to kill the proposal. Who says political parties can’t work together?

And that’s something New Mexicans can celebrate. The parties have different priorities and approaches, but by talking to one another and by listening, even the most partisan legislators can find ways to work for the common good, especially when the governor is willing to compromise. Now, to pass the budget and wrap up what looks to be a productive month of work, with investments made that will benefit New Mexico over the long term.

Can Mike Bloomberg be forgiven?

L

et’s just start here: Politicians do not brag about throwing young men “up against the wall” unless those young men happen to be black.

But that was the language used by Mike Bloomberg in 2015 to defend New York’s stop-and-frisk program, and it has plunged him into trouble again at the very moment his campaign began to emerge as the Democrats’ biggest threat to President Donald Trump.

Bloomberg was out of o∞ce in 2015 when he appeared before 400 people at a conference in Aspen, Colo. It has been reported that Bloomberg’s representatives asked the Aspen Institute not to distribute video footage of his program there. Nonetheless, audio from the program has been sitting on YouTube for years. The language is jarring.

“Ninety-five percent of your murders and murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops. They are male minorities, 15 to 25,” Bloomberg said.

“So one of the unintended consequences is people say, ‘Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.’

Yes, that’s true. Why? Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods. Yes, that’s true. Why do we do it? Because that is where all the crime is. … And the way you get the guns out of kids’ hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them.”

Throw them up against the wall. It is impossible for me to imagine that those words would have rolled o≠ Bloomberg’s tongue had he been speaking to a room full of young black and brown men. Or, if people who looked like members of his own family faced that kind of scrutiny as

they moved about their communities.

This is where the world cleaves into di≠erent camps. For some people, those are just words. For others, they speak to a very real fear or a very real memory of being thrown against a building, splayed across the hood of police car or forced to kneel on the pavement, hands clasped behind their head.

I know there will be readers who wonder why people who had nothing to hide would bristle at being stopped by police who are there to protect and serve.

Imagine being stopped not once but perhaps a dozen times. Might that try your patience or change your view of law enforcement, alter the way you viewed yourself or your place in the world?

And Bloomberg was not just talking about stopping someone on the street corner to ask what they were up to. He was casually describing an act of violence. And reinforcing the idea that black and brown men need to be restrained by any means necessary.

The thing about stop-and-frisk and all the other “hot zone” policing programs that use the same tactics is that they all rely on racial profiling. To catch those who are up to no good, a large universe of people are placed under suspicion supposedly for the greater good.

Now that Bloomberg is running for president, there is good reason for voters, especially black voters, to turn and flee unless he can turn this millstone into a building block of trust. Just before he launched his presidential bid, Bloomberg apologized for his longtime support of stop-and-frisk. He now says that the program was a mistake and that he had an epiphany of sorts when

people he respected explained the program’s harmful legacy.

Polls show that he is attracting large numbers of black voters in places where he has been spending millions in TV ads.

But those voters tend to be older; can he win over the younger voters who are more likely to flick away his candidacy the way Jay-Z brushes dirt o≠ his shoulder?

That is a big lift. Younger black voters are showing stronger support for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., than Bloomberg, and it is not clear that they will ever migrate toward a billionaire whose wealth and past party a∞liation with the GOP make him suspect.

A few weeks ago, when Bloomberg was approaching a viability threshold, I argued that he needed to figure out how to strengthen his apology around stop-and-frisk. It is clear he still does not understand that this is an existential threat to his candidacy.

In order for people to unfold their arms, he is going to have to face the wall of justified anger and absorb it at full blast as those most a≠ected by stop-and-frisk — the young men and the people who love them — explain how the policy created emotional and, in some cases, actual scars.

He has to be willing to talk about race and racism, not once or twice but with consistency and courage at a fractured moment in America. That means staring down advisers who caution against leaning into that powder keg.

He has to be willing to address the mindset that created stop-and-frisk and keeps some version of it alive. And that means bringing cops to the table and pushing the leadership and the rank-andfile in blue to interrogate the social and racial factors that lead to disproportionate levels of scrutiny aimed at black and brown men. That will not be easy.

But it is worth the risk. A leader who can create a pathway toward a model of policing that seeks justice, while facing up to historical injustice, would be doing a great thing for all of America.

Beware: America is at risk

C

asual reference to the president of the United States as commander in chief is common but dangerous.

Here is why. The framers of the Constitution, wary of tyranny, created a government of three counterbalancing branches.

They worried about making the president commander in chief of the armed forces, but seeing no alternative, they carefully avoided the notion of presidential command in any other way.

They reserved to Congress the powers to make laws, declare war, levy taxes and determine how money would be spent. The president was to faithfully execute laws made by Congress.

The Civil War was so enormous and so often required immediate decisions that some of Abraham Lincoln’s actions inspired a notion that presidents also have ill-defined but implied “war powers.” Continued technological change, requiring ever more rapid decisions, has caused those implied powers to grow and to become even less well defined. Several wars ago, presidents stopped bothering to ask Congress to declare war. Now presidents use military force to blow up places and people halfway around the world, and these actions are taken within seconds of solitary and even secret presidential decisions.

A need for action during natural and economic disasters has led Congress to cede other powers to the presidency in situations extreme enough to justify presidential declaration of a national emergency. Except for the slow processes of courts, there is little to protect us from abuse of this authority. We have to rely on the decency, honor, good faith and informed judgment of presidents.

When a president has none of those, we are at risk.

We are at risk now — extreme risk. When the current president could not get Congress to provide money for a border wall to keep out weak and frightened refugees, he used the traditional tool of dictators everywhere and declared a “national emergency.”

Although the only genuine emergency was his need to fulfill a campaign promise that he could not keep through legitimate means, he seized from Congress the “power of the purse” and spent money contrary to law. Now he threatens prohibitive tari≠s on German automobiles, using a power to protect national security as justification for taking another power from Congress.

He is also using a power derived from post-9/11 nervousness to waive environmental laws to build a wall through a de facto international park: Organ Pipe National Monument in Arizona and Pinacate Biosphere Reserve in Sonora, and is fencing rare Sonoran pronghorn away from their water holes and migratory paths.

He has violated the Budget Control and Impoundment Act of 1974. He has defied the subpoena power of Congress, claiming executive privilege in the press but not daring, or perhaps just not bothering, to do so o∞cially. He has blathered that Article II of the Constitution authorizes him to do anything he wants. His attorney has claimed that the president’s mere opinion of law determines law. He has ordered American companies to remove their business activities from China. And he has been given free rein to do worse by every Senate Republican save Mitt Romney.

It is clear where things are heading. Do you like hearing breathless television commentators use the exciting term “commander in chief” rather than the more mundane “president” as though it applies not just to the armed forces but to the United States; as though it applies to you and me?

Casual use of the term invites acceptance of the concept, and acceptance of the concept tempts a president lacking ethical self-restraint to make the concept a reality. Unless we the people prevent the reality of a commander in chief of the United States, there could soon be one.

Hitler was no joke. Of the 6 million Jews he slaughtered, 1 million of them were children killed in the gas chamber or shot into mass graves. To my way of thinking, when you joke about the Holocaust, you diminish the horror of it.

Another tragedy I will not cross comedically is the 400 years of slavery we’ve had in this country. Tell me what joke would make you hysterical over that?

Paul Lazarus’ My View goes on to question, is there “no room for satire anymore?” With today’s outspoken

and satirical late-night hosts: Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers — and sold-out Broadway shows like Book Of Mormon, I’d say there’s more satire in comedy now then ever before.

What’s insidious today are the tons of would-be comics working at comedy clubs, on cable, social media and podcasts who are saturating the airwaves.

The bottom line is: Comedy is subjective. What makes you laugh might not make your brother-in-law laugh. So a blanket statement like, when it comes to comedy, “nothing is over the line,” just doesn’t hold up. Tell a joke about polio to a father or mother whose child has polio and see what kind of laugh you get.

Environmental review needed for LANL expansion

A

s many of your readers know, the National Nuclear Security Administration, a stovepipe agency within the Department of Energy, is planning a massive expansion at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina to increase its unnecessary plutonium pit production mission to 30-80 pits per year.

Plutonium “pits” are the fissile cores for detonating nuclear warheads. Plutonium is a heavy metal and radioactive, lasting more than 240,000 years. Plutonium pits have been described

by DOE o∞cials as the “linchpin” of the United States nuclear weapons stockpile.

LANL was the original pit factory, creating the original plutonium atomic bomb tested at the Trinity site, the uranium bomb that destroyed Hiroshima and the plutonium bomb that destroyed Nagasaki, which, essentially, was a plutonium pit.

Subsequently, the DOE established the Rocky Flats Plant west of Denver. It became the DOE’s site of mass production of pits in order to fuel the Cold War. Seventy-thousand pits were produced there.

After Rocky Flats was raided and shut down by the FBI for environmental crimes circa 1989, the pit mission was transferred back to LANL. In the late 1990s, LANL was instructed to make 20 pits per year by DOE mandate.

However, since then, LANL has been able to produce only a handful of pits due to cleanup, nuclear criticality safety and seismic issues, and corporate mismanagement.

Fast-forward to the present mandate for 30-80 pits per year to be built at the LANL and Savannah River sites, concurrently with transporting and dismantling the thousands of perfectly “usable” pits we have stockpiled.

The NNSA has stated it will not conduct a programmatic environmental impact statement, typically required by National Environmental Policy Act for projects involving two or more locations.

It also appears the NNSA will not conduct a site-wide environmental impact statement for the huge LANL expansion. It plans to move forward with what

is called a supplement analysis, which is not an environmental study but assesses whether any environmental review is necessary. A supplement analysis has no enforceable requirements for public review and comment or impact mitigation.

The existing site-wide environmental impact statement for LANL was completed in 2008 and analyzed the production of up to 80 plutonium pits per year in a new facility. It analyzed a limited number of alternatives, now obsolete, and depended on a variety of assumptions now known to be false.

NNSA’s new plan is for the production of a minimum of 30 plutonium pits per year, in what is already a 42-year-old facility with serious ongoing unresolved problems.

LANL’s massive plutonium pit expansion plans and associated infrastructure will a≠ect Northern New Mexico’s people, cultures, health, safety, economy, environment and climate. Yet New Mexico U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich and Tom Udall and Congressman Ben Ray Luján have stated they fully support NNSA’s plutonium operations expansion for LANL, with only a supplement analysis, as opposed to any sort of nationwide programmatic environmental review, followed by a site-specific environmental review for LANL. Our Democratic delegation tends to be fairly progressive on a number of important issues facing our country and the planet, but in regard to this, the seldom-mentioned nuclear weapons industry, it is failing us.

It is imperative that our New Mexico delegation leads Congress on behalf of its own constituents and the whole country, stands up to the DOE/NNSA, changes its stated position and acts now to demand a programmatic environmental impact statement for the two sites, followed by a new site-wide environmental impact statement for LANL to address all of the potential impacts of expansion.

New Mexico needs a fresh look.

Concoction of fairy-tale ‘forever acquittal’ brands Pearce

A

fter reading Steve Pearce’s op-ed concerning the Trump impeachment trial (“President Trump is forever acquitted, bound for reelection,” My View, Feb. 9), I cannot let it go without a response. His position is a complete twisting of the historic stances taken by the party of Abraham Lincoln.

My respect for what Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said after his vote, the only Republican senator to vote with the Democrats, has grown immensely. His action restores my faith that there is some good remaining in the GOP. Until 10 years ago, Romney would have probably been joined by a dozen or more fellow Republican senators. Easily that many would not have forsaken their party’s traditional ideals and ethics and I believe would have voted to impeach President Donald Trump for his egregious actions.

It is distressing to realize what Trump has done to denigrate the entire political process, and amazing that so many of his fellow Republicans, Pearce included,

have opted to fall in line and are marching in step — away from a century-and-ahalf of GOP ideals and values.

These now-trampled ideals historically included prudent (sometimes overly so) caution about entanglements with foreign governments. Yet when Trump turned 150 years of GOP conservatism on its head and chose to put a price on our aid to the Ukraine, thereby doing Russia’s bidding, simply to advance his own political gain, we heard only silent acquiescence from his fellow Republicans.

After their vote to acquit, many Republican senators admitted that he had clearly transgressed, but o≠ered contorted excuses for not punishing those transgressions. Apparently, they figured the American people should just stop looking at the wreckage, move along and put it all behind us.

A second traditional Republican ideal Trump has tossed aside is respect for integrity in government, a deep pride in ethical behavior. Now, though, the party not only demands that whistleblowers

be exposed but pursues and persecutes them further. And even high-minded public and military servants are being dragged through the mud after having been fired for daring to speak out in criticism of this president.

How ironic that the GOP’s 2008 presidential banner carrier, Romney, is now being sullied and insulted by Trump and his cronies and sycophants. Romney is a devout Mormon and I believe acted under the influence of his personal religious and moral precepts. But in this new version of his party he is badly out of step. Loyalty to the man in the White House is all that counts.

How can Pearce, New Mexico’s GOP chairman, concoct a fairy tale that Trump’s escape from the impeachment proceedings is now some kind of “forever acquittal?” Are we supposed to now forever forget about all of Trump’s lies, his ga≠es, his embarrassing conduct and the litany of appointees he has fired or who have quit in disgust? All that remain in his administration are toadies and yes-men.

For the past 15 years, I have served in the New Mexico Senate with many Republicans of great integrity. I cannot believe for a moment that Pearce’s opinion represents the totality of their view.

My Republican colleagues in the Legislature who would similarly exonerate Trump run the risk of condemning their party to the dust bin of American history, putting themselves in a class with Albert Fall, the New Mexico U.S. senator who brought down the Harding administration with the Teapot Dome Scandal 100 years ago.

We all saw the evidence against Trump, except for whatever former national security adviser John Bolton would have testified about. It is bizarre that the head of the New Mexico Republican Party would claim that what we all saw (and what the president has bragged about) just never happened.

Cervical cancer screening saves lives Children,

ervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women worldwide, but most American women can prevent it by being screened with tests that detect human papillomaviruses. Cancer screening works, and the vast majority of women who get cervical cancer simply don’t get screened at all or wait too long between screens.

A new study led by University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center scientists shows that screening every three years instead of annually prevents most cervical cancers. And of the cancers that are found during routine screenings, most are caught before they’ve had a chance to spread, making them far easier to treat. The results of the study were published ahead of the print version, in the December online edition of the International Journal of Cancer.

My research team and I worked with the New Mexico Tumor Registry to link their information with that of the New Mexico HPV Pap Registry. The state’s Tumor Registry records all cases of cancer and all deaths due to cancer in the state. The HPV Pap Registry records all cervical cancer screening results, which include Pap and HPV tests, and all pro-

cedures to diagnose and treat cervical precancers — abnormalities that have not yet turned cancerous.

Combining data from the two statewide public health information systems provided a unique ability to understand the screening histories of women who developed cervical cancer throughout New Mexico. This capacity is not available elsewhere and it serves as a model information system for cancer prevention in the United States.

Previous studies have used data from a single health care system and often from the same insurer. The New Mexico data, however, includes all information from the entire state, regardless of the women’s insurance provider, insurance coverage, health care provider and location.

Our overall research team working with the New Mexico HPV Pap Registry includes national and international experts and postdoctoral, graduate and undergraduate students who study health care delivery to improve cancer prevention across New Mexico.

In this study, the screening records of each woman who was diagnosed with cervical cancer were compared with those of a control group of five

New Mexican women without cervical cancer. The diagnosed women and the women in the control groups were matched on age, race, ethnicity and rural or urban geographic area.

We found that 61 percent of women in the control groups had been screened within the previous three years, but only 38 percent of the women with cervical cancer had been screened in the same period prior to their cancer diagnosis.

We also compared the medical histories of women diagnosed with cervical cancer. Those who had been screened in the three years prior to diagnosis were half as likely to be diagnosed with localized cervical cancer as those who hadn’t been screened.

They were also 83 percent less likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer that had spread. The takeaway here is that screening is super important for catching cancers before they have spread.

The study also showed that women who receive a negative screening test were very unlikely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer in the following 3½ to five years. We found that more frequent screening o≠ered no additional benefit.

The value of a negative screen is huge. We show that screening prevents

more than 80 percent of distant cancer and about 50 percent of local cancer.

And the local cancer is easily treatable.

This study gives real-world evidence to assure New Mexican women and their health care providers that screening for cervical cancer every three years safely finds cancer early and that screening more frequently has no additional benefit.

Our research team was able to deliver this critical study in large part because of the existing infrastructures we have in New Mexico, including the HPV Pap Registry.

Without the data from the registry, we would not be able to assess the safety of national recommendations for cancer screening, determine what cancer screening is actually taking place in all areas of the state and, importantly, we would have no way to identify failures in cancer screening to make improvements that save lives and financial resources for New Mexico.

n New Mexico, family is your pride in life. For so many, family is your whole life. And family members proudly take care of their own — whether immediate or extended relatives, we are one familia. But taking care of your own doesn’t mean you can’t accept help, and that’s why I’m sponsoring the Kinship Guardianship Act — Senate Bill 146 — which will better support extended family taking care of children.

I am the proud permanent guardian to a wonderful 7-year-old girl who I have known most of her life. For the past five years, I have been her caregiver and parent. I wake and feed her in the morning before taking her to school.

In the evening, we do homework after dinner, watch TV or play. We also have our rough patches, but that is family life. With me, she also has someone to tell her stories about her family, to make sure she knows who they are and to answer the questions she has about them, especially as she’s gotten older and wiser than her years.

With a formal guardianship through the Children, Youth and Families Department, kin (grandparent or other family members) and fictive kin (close family friends such as myself) are able to receive support from the department, which is a godsend when providing for and raising a child.

For instance, CYFD ensures children in care have Medicaid throughout their young lives. Subsidies are available to help pay for basic needs because when any household, especially those of families on a fixed income, adds another member, especially unexpectedly, the household budget is strained.

CYFD also has resources to help with parenting classes or to support the di∞cult family conversations that can come up when one is raising a child not born to them.

But right now, about half of those families with children in out-of-home placements are not receiving support from CYFD because of outdated federal law that limits support given to extended family members who have taken on the role or primary caregivers.

I believe, as does CYFD, that all children and their caregivers should get the support they need. The Kinship Guardian Act closes this loophole.

Research shows that keeping kids inside their larger family framework greatly benefits the child. These children do better across measures of mental and behavioral health and educational achievement. They also achieve long-term housing permanency faster.

Family placements are more likely to keep siblings together and help to maintain safe and appropriate bonds with the child’s biological parents. Children experience less trauma in foster care when they are placed with relatives — it eliminates one more adverse childhood experience for that young person.

Right now, New Mexico places about 25 percent of children with extended family members. CYFD has a comprehensive plan focused on keeping children with their extended families whenever it is safe and healthy to do so. The department is asking more questions about family supports when children come into care, and workers are using family-finding software that helps track down relatives that the department may not know about.

There will always be a need for traditional foster care, and CYFD is working hard to improve those relationships as well. Under Gov.

n this Valentine’s Day weekend, I send warm greetings to the thousands of New Mexicans who have focused their care for our planet onto the legislators gathered in Santa Fe for the 2020 session.

By email, calls, petitions, personal visits, committee hearings and more, thousands — from teens to octogenarians — have promoted legislation to push back against climate change and to care for the Earth and all that live upon it.

The breadth of the advocacy is amazing: renewal energy, energy e∞ciency, electric vehicles, water and rivers, wildlife protection, radioactive waste and more. And, behind each email or call or personal statement is the passion to protect New Mexico and our Earth for today and generations to come.

Of course, there are voices from well-organized conservation and environmental NGOs and their members across the state. They are focused, dedicated and persistent. But this year saw something new, di≠erent and powerful.

Inspired by Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, the Roundhouse heard the articulate voices of teens demanding action.

No better example of this was the determined voice of Tabatha Hirsch, an 18-year-old high school student, in a recent House Appropriations and Finance Committee. With calm and precision and representing teens from across the state, Tabatha urged legislators to pass House Bill 173, uno∞cially called the Next Generation Transportation Act. The bill would have raised the state’s gasoline tax with proceeds for a clean infrastructure fund, the road fund and rebates for low-income households.

The committee voted 14-1 to “table” the bill, killing it for this session.

Repeated disappointments and setbacks are standard for climate action advocates. Entrenched and well-funded fossil fuel, utility and associated business interests are powerful. And so is our individual resistance to the lifestyle changes needed to slow the impacts of climate change.

But on this February day, we know that we are joined by millions of other global citizens who each in her or his own way is advancing climate action in their community, state, province or nation. It is the solidarity of caring for each other and the future of the Earth that tempers the sting of legislative and other defeats.

Perhaps it has not been better stated than by Bill McKibben, co-founder of the international advocacy group 350. org: “You will have the honor of standing shoulder to shoulder with [others around the world], and we will have the honor of standing shoulder to shoulder with you, and we will go ahead and we will find out how it all comes out.”

We do not know how it will all come out. But we stay focused … one bill, one petition, one march, one lawsuit, one caring action at a time. It is what we do for all that lives today and all that we hope will live in the future.

Instead of signing or vetoing a single state budget, Johnson probably will have to act separately on education spending, including money for teacher salaries.

Susan Rice Protecting land, water The comfort of dead white men makes good policy Disconsolate is — in her T behind us and own words W despondent

P

resident Bill Clinton shocked the national security community when he nominated a young, black and pregnant woman to be assistant secretary of state for Africa in 1997. When the Republican Senate confirmed Susan Rice, women across our nation gained a significant victory.

In the following years, Ambassador Rice became our ambassador to the United Nations and then President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, one of our country’s top posts. Above all else, her rise confirmed that representing our government should not be determined by age, race or gender.

Still, Susan’s dream job — to become secretary of state — was thwarted by her political enemies; they unscrupulously used her description of the mob attacks on the American compounds in Benghazi, Libya, to claim inappropriate absolution of the Obama administration for the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. In fact, she, reflecting the weight of her post, simply followed talking points provided by CIA. On March 5 — just three days before International Women’s Day — Susan will describe her incredible journey — in her own words — as the keynote speaker at the Santa Fe Council on International Relations’ annual gala. Her new book, Tough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For, doesn’t hold back, not about Benghazi or the impact of an “America first” agenda on our nation.

Susan will engage, inspire and warn; she never pulls her punches, and her elbows are sharp.

As Susan’s former deputy and a Council on International Relations board member, I will moderate the discussion focusing on the perilous state of our nation, its deep divisions of class, ethnicity and wealth, and the threat posed to the international order by the Trump administration’s denigration of our alliances.

We will review Susan’s lifelong commitment to democracy and human rights in Rwanda, Sudan, Syria and China, which increasingly are being replaced by transactional politics with the entrenchment of authoritarian leaders from Russia to Saudi Arabia and China to the Philippines.

In a world where the guardrails have been removed, Susan will describe the existential threats to our country and the world of climate change, pandemics and weapons of mass destruction.

More than ever, we need to hear voices like Susan’s, to learn, to celebrate and to remember who we are. She reminds us of Martin Luther King Jr.’s amazing words: “The arc of the moral universe is long but bends toward justice.” She believes in our nation and in our world, and in the great strides we have made in eradicating poverty and expanding education and opportunity to all. Still, she reminds us that those gains are neither immutable nor immune from erosion. I, for one, am very much looking forward to this exceptional moment of listening to President Obama’s top aide and confidant.

Ambassador (ret.) Vicki J. Huddleston lives in Santa Fe.

hen I first moved to Southern New Mexico, a few things struck me almost immediately: those gorgeous mountains that provide the backdrop to the equally stunning Mesilla Valley, a strong connection between these mountains and our people, and a community immensely proud of the place they call home. It’s what inspired me to start Organ Mountain Outfitters. I wanted to share with the world what locals have known for a long time: Our community, history, people and landscapes are worth celebrating.

As I became increasingly involved in public lands advocacy, including participating in a trip to Washington, D.C., to educate elected o∞cials on why our monument designation needed to remain intact, I also came to learn about the Land and Water Conservation Fund. What especially struck me was the role the fund had played in protecting the very places that inspired me to start my business.

Having permanently reauthorized the Land and Water Conservation Fund in early 2019, the challenge now facing Congress is to fund fully the program so that we can realize its potential.

So what’s the holdup? The issue is certainly not lack of e≠ectiveness. Neither is it a matter of partisanship — the Land and Water Conservation Fund has strong support from both sides of the aisle. It’s simply the result of political gridlock on Capitol Hill. New Mexico Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small has been a strong voice to push through that gridlock to fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

But we can’t a≠ord to waste any more time. State and local governments throughout the country are beginning to focus

increasingly on the outdoor recreation economy as a means of boosting local prosperity.

In 2019, Chris Lang New Mexico created an O∞ce of Outdoor Recreation to allow our state to take advantage of our amazing and one-ofa-kind recreational assets. This e≠ort makes sense. According to the Outdoor Industry Association, the New Mexico outdoor economy results annually in 99,000 direct jobs, $9.9 billion in consumer spending, $2.8 billion in wages and salaries and $623 million in local and state tax revenues. And each year, 65 percent of New Mexico residents engage in outdoor recreation, a finding that has important public health implications.

As a small business owner, I certainly see the value in developing a bold vision for an outdoor economy. It’s vital that our state look for ways to diversify our economy to lessen our dependence on oil and gas.

And I know that here in Southern New Mexico, we’re ready to show o≠ all that we have to o≠er for outdoor recreational enthusiasts.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund is a critical tool in these e≠orts. It’s through fund-supported projects that we can address infrastructure needs, ensure access to popular recreational sites and protect these valuable natural resources for generations to come. Now we just need our o∞cials in Washington to value these goals as much as our community does.

M Y VIEW JOHANN KL A A SSEN

No reason to fear ethical investing under Trump

D

oug Lynam’s commentary (“Fight the power, save the planet,” Business, Feb. 3), doesn’t sound particularly scary, but one of my friends asked if there really was a bizarre new law that prevents socially responsible investing. So I took a close look.

The first few paragraphs make socially responsible investing/environmental, social and governance quality (SRI/ESG) investment advisers like me sound like modern-day Robin Hoods, risking our necks to provide socially

conscious portfolios to our clients.

The Trump administration’s Department of Labor has, according to Lynam, recently warned investment advisers that “they could violate the law if they engage in socially responsible investing” and that we might be fined or have our licenses revoked if we’re “convicted.”

Concerned, for obvious reasons, I fired up Google and did a quick search on the U.S. Department of Labor’s “Field Assistance Bulletin 2018-1,” to which Lynam refers in his commentary.

The first thing I noticed about this bulletin is that it’s “old news,” as the title implies. It was issued in early 2018, nearly two years ago. And it’s not a law or a binding regulation or a new rule. Rather, it’s a low-level policy statement about the ways in which we can expect the department to implement a couple of previous, Obama-era rules, which were generally pro-SRI — and which were not amended or rescinded by this new guidance.

Interestingly, in the commentary from our SRI-industry colleagues at the time,

the bulletin was widely panned as practically meaningless — the commentary blogs from the Intentional Endowments Network and The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment are particularly incisive.

Lynam is certainly right to point out that the performance worries that appear to have motivated the Trumpera Department of Labor to make this statement are simply inaccurate. And I agree that notions of “fiduciary duty” for investment advisers really should

include SRI/ESG criteria, since we can’t really do long-term investing without those criteria. But there’s no cause for alarm today from, and no reason to fear that ethical investing has been made illegal by, this 2-year-old note from Trump’s Department of Labor.

dency on public education, it’s huge. It’s probably at least 90 percent of the American population is dependent on public education in one form or another.”

Gutierrez can see the issue — the light and the shadow — nearly every day. Example: There’s a girl in Española who’s served on one of Gutierrez’s advisory committees. She wants to be a teacher someday. Her bright presence seems to bring a pang of nostalgia to Gutierrez, because that girl — her name is Marisa — is just the kind of kid the profession is going to need in 2025, 2035, 2050.

But will she be interested in grading papers on Sundays and preparing a lesson plan when she’s o≠ the clock?

“When she graduates in a couple years, I would love to support her or other young people in that way, with education,” Gutierrez says. “But a lot of young people just aren’t interested in education [as a career field].”

Gutierrez says she’s trying to think of a way to stay active in the profession even as she leaves it. She may do some consulting.

She ponders about how to think through the problems rural districts like Española have with aging facilities but the inability to a≠ord building new ones. She wonders if there’s something she can do to make sure her successors can find the next generation of teachers to keep the foundation of this country from crumbling.

“I’ve loved every minute of my career — the ups, the downs, the heartbreaks, the headaches,” she says. “I’ve loved every minute of my career, because at some level I think I did make a di≠erence for a lot of kids and a lot of teachers.”

Her eyes well at the memories.

And the poignant mist makes you wonder: Where will our next generation of Bobbie Gutierrezes come from?

The state House passed a bill Saturday to create tougher penalties for illegal New Mexico chop shops that dismantle stolen vehicles to sell for parts.

The lower chamber passed in a 62-2 vote

House Bill 156, which would create a crime specifically for chop shops that cut up stolen vehicles to illegally sell for parts.

Rep. Abbas Akhil, D-Albuquerque, one of the

primary bill sponsors, said he conferred with other lawmakers after hearing concerns from constituents about extremely high auto theft rates. National Insurance Crime Bureau data released last year showed that Albuquerque led the nation in car theft rates in 2018.

inmates sue, alleging rape, retaliation Sexual misconduct reports in state prisons have increased drastically in recent years

By Phaedra Haywood

phaywood@sfnewmexican.com

Six former Springer Correctional Center inmates have filed lawsuits since July, claiming they were raped or sexually assaulted by guards and their reports to o∞cials at the women’s prison in northeastern New Mexico were met with indi≠erence or retaliation.

One of the women alleged a guard forced her to have sex with him about twice a week for nearly a year, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court last week. Her attorney said she has been contacted by more than a dozen women who also say they’ve been sexually assaulted.

The New Mexican is not naming the women who filed the complaints because they are making allegations of sexual assault.

Allegations of sexual misconduct in the state’s prison system increased 473 percent between 2013 and 2018, according to New Mexico Corrections Department data, jumping from 57 reports statewide in 2013 to 327 in 2018.

The reports include allegations of inmate-on-inmate and sta≠-on-inmate assaults and harassment, according to the department’s annual breakdown of investigations and their outcomes.

Women make up about 10 percent of the state’s prison population, according to the data, but 38.8 percent of the sexual assault allegations in 2018 originated from one of the state’s two women’s prisons.

Sexual assault complaints from Springer rose from one in 2016 — the last year the facility held male prisoners — to 38 in 2017, the first full year the facility held only women.

The most recent lawsuit, filed Feb. 8 by two inmates against three guards and two supervisors, alleges the guards’ sexual assaults on the women occurred in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

“These lawsuits are addressing a long-standing and deep-seated culture of abuse in Corrections at Springer,” said Justine Fox-Young, a lawyer who along with co-counsel Erlinda O. Johnson represents five plainti≠s. “For the entirety of the time women have been held there they’ve been ... victimized.”

Health department keeps eye on coronavirus None of the 15 reported cases in the U.S. has been in New Mexico

A face mask isn’t necessarily the proper shield from coronavirus, the New Mexico Department of Health says.

Department o∞cials emphasized last week

that healthy people have no need to wear face masks to protect themselves from the virus.

Instead, o∞cials said, they should simply wash their hands and cover their coughs.

State epidemiologist Michael Landen said while health care professionals and people who have confirmed cases of the respiratory virus now called COVID-19 should wear masks to prevent droplet spread, it’s ine≠ective for healthy people.

“With the increase in media attention, there seems to be a run on purchasing face masks,” he said, referring to other states. “For people who are well, it’s not the right prevention measure.”

The recommendations echo guidelines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released in January that emphasize the risk of contracting the virus in the U.S. remains low.

FUNERAL SERVICES & MEMORIALS MARTIN DAVID ANTON A.K.A. CHEF 1962-2019

DALE EDWARD PONTIUS Dale Edward Pontius passed away on February 3, 2020 after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Dale was born in his childhood home in Fort Wayne Indiana on July 20, 1941 to Vearl O. and Emma Pontius, the fourth of six children. Dale graduated from North Side High School in 1959 and from Indiana University with a Bachelor’s degree in 1963 and a Master’s in Government in 1965. Dale served in the United States Air Force from 1964 - 1970 as an officer and an F-4 pilot, completing 140 combat missions during the Vietnam War. Dale fulfilled his military commitment as a Captain and instructor pilot, earning eleven air medals for excellence in flight. Dale was always troubled by the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and this experience solidified his lifelong commitment to political and environmental activism. Dale assisted in founding and serving as President of the Lubbock, Texas chapter of the ACLU. He then went on to attend law school at the University of Arizona College of Law, where he graduated with distinction as a member of the Order of the Coif in 1973. Throughout his career, Dale made a major impact on the environment, particularly in the Southwestern United States, the mountains and rivers being his one true love.

Notably, Dale worked as an Assistant Attorney General for the state of Arizona, as Governor Bruce Babbitt’s principal policy advisor, as staff counsel to Congressman Morris Udall’s House Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, and as the Associate Solicitor for Land and Water Resources in the Department of the Interior during the Clinton Administration. Dale was particularly proud of his work on developing the groundwater law for the state of Arizona in an effort to curb overuse, and on the Land Use and Resource Conservation Act of 1975, co-sponsored by Congressman Morris Udall. Dale later worked as the Vice President of Conservation for American Rivers, a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C., and he retired from public service as an Associate Solicitor for the Department of the Interior in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he oversaw the legal matters regarding environmental protection for the Southwest region. Dale was instrumental in protecting the Aravaipa Canyon Preserve while he was President of the Tucson chapter of the Nature Conservancy. He took his daughters there regularly to enjoy the beauty of Aravaipa and Turkey Creek. In 1990 Dale received the Oak Leaf Award, the Nature Conservancy’s highest recognition for volunteer service. In his later years, Dale was actively involved with the New Mexico Environmental Law Center in Santa Fe, serving as Chairman in 2007. Throughout his life, Dale generously gave his time, talent and resources to a variety of not-for-profit entities that he served well. Other defining moments in Dale’s life included successfully assisting with the reunification of a Vietnamese family in 1989 that had been separated for seven years by the Vietnamese government. Dale returned to Vietnam in the 2000’s with Veterans for Peace, a nonprofit organization of military veterans seeking to build a culture of peace and an end to all war, allowing closure on his earlier military career. Dale will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his family and lifelong friends for his incredible intellect, charm, and subtle humor. Dale never boasted of his amazing accomplishments, of which there were many. His desire to preserve and protect the environment through political process was unwavering and inspiring. But Dale will also be remembered as he was when he was happiest - fly fishing or hiking with his beloved dog, Pablo. One of Dale’s favorite quotes, as it represented his political beliefs throughout his life, "The moral test of Government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life - the children; those who are in twilight of life - the elderly; and those in the shadow of life - the sick, the needy, and the handicapped." - Hubert Humphrey. Dale is survived by his three daughters, Sally (Walden) Browne, Nancy Pontius, and Claire (Cameron) Oseran Radon; five grandchildren, Nicoletta Browne, Alexander Browne, Lena Joy Radon, Jackson Radon, and Fiona Radon; his brother, Earl (Jill) Pontius; his sisters, Carole Keller, Judith (Charles) Tittemore, and Sharon (David) Peters; numerous loving nieces and nephews; and his lifelong friend from childhood, John Johnson. Dale was loved and admired by all who knew him and he will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends. A private family gathering will take place at a later date. Dale’s family asks that anyone wishing to make a contribution in his honor, please consider the Nature Conservancy of Arizona or the New Mexico Environmental Law Center in Santa Fe.

JIMMY GRIEGO The Santa Fe Opera community wishes to express its deep sympathies to the family and friends of Jimmy Griego at his passing on February 6, 2020 in Tesuque, NM. Jimmy dedicated 42 years of service to the opera and made himself invaluable in his many roles, which included overseeing maintenance of the buildings and grounds, transportation, and general support. For many years Jimmy presided over the Santa Fe Opera Cantina bar for every opening and closing night party, where he loved joking with the guests, irrespective of their position in the opera world.

Many colleagues reflected on Jimmy’s attention to detail and perfection. Capturing the sentiments of many, one stated, "I think of Jimmy as meeting each and every request with an initial attempt to seem gruff and obstinate, yet always being betrayed by the mischievous twinkle in his eye and the irrepressible smile peeking out from beneath that remarkable mustache."

Though Jimmy retired from the opera in 2004, his many contributions live on to this day. The Santa Fe Opera will always remember the kindness, good humor, and generosity of Jimmy Griego.

A 10th generation Santa Fe native extraordinaire, accomplished executive chef and a loving, funny, big-hearted son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.

My dream and wish is that we “ have an Alzheimer’s Café in every single community. They should be as common as libraries.”

National Alzheimer’s conference coming to Albuquerque Continued from Page C-1

and nearly 5.8 million people nationwide.

The National Institute on Aging says Alzheimer’s is an irreversible brain disorder that is the most common cause of dementia. It destroys memory, thinking skills and eventually the ability to perform the most basic functions.

Alzheimer’s Foundation of America CEO Charles Fuschillo said the foundation is bringing the conference to Albuquerque as part of a four-year nationwide tour. He said it will provide connections to resources for those with the disease and their caretakers.

“We’ll have dementia and caregiving experts at the conference discussing long-term care planning, activities, socialization and issues about insomnia,” Fuschillo said. “Caregivers can get a better understanding of what to expect, and we want to let people know they’re not alone.”

Lokvig is one of those experts.

A native of Denmark who has lived in Santa Fe for more than three decades, she says she wants to make an impact both for people with dementia and caregivers.

Lokvig in 2008 founded the first Alzheimer’s Café in Santa Fe. It grew out of a concept introduced more than a decade earlier in the Netherlands by a psychiatrist — a safe place to socialize and o≠er brain stimulation in arts and crafts, music and games.

“My dream and wish is that

we have an Alzheimer’s Café in every single community,” she said. “They should be as common as libraries.”

There are four such cafes in New Mexico. One opened in Farmington this month.

“Massachusetts has more than 100,” she said, “but I understand it’s so di∞cult because so much of New Mexico is rural and outreach is hard.”

At the conference, Lokvig said, she wants to o≠er communication skills and tactics. Many people spend too much time on the disease process — pills, cures, the ins and outs of the process — and not enough time on coping skills, she said.

“When someone gets diagnosed with dementia, everyone lives with dementia — their families, their caregivers,” Lokvig said. “It’s like the elephant in the room. It’s hard on everyone.”

The free conference will be held in Ballroom C at the University of New Mexico’s Student Union Building from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m Feb. 25.

FUNERAL SERVICES AND MEMORIALS ROBERT EDWARD LEE APRIL 2, 1965 - FEBRUARY 10, 2020 Robert Edward Lee, a life-long resident of Santa Fe and Great father, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 54 on Monday, February 10, 2020. Born on April 2, 1965 to Mary Carney Lee and Robert E. Lee Sr. He is survived by his two children, Webb Ryan Lee and Meaghan Alexandra Lee; his two brothers, Michael Lee and Christopher Lee; his father, Robert; and, his uncle, John Carney. He is preceded in death by his mother, Mary.

A service in Robert’s honor will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday February 17, 2020 at Berardinelli Family Funeral Service in Santa Fe. Robert, also known by Rob and Robby to those close to him, graduated from Santa Fe High School in 1983, where he established life-long friendships that endured the test of time, distance, and Rob himself. He went on to attend the University of New Mexico, along with study abroad programs in Russia and Wales, ultimately earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology.

Following college, Rob held a number of professional and service positions before settling on real estate development and investments, where he worked with his father in-law, Webb Wallace. Finding himself in a field he had no experience in, he dove right in and quickly became quite adept at investment modeling, program management, and bureaucratic maneuvering with the local governments. Prior to his final career in real estate, his time in the services business let him to appreciate both the emotional and financial challenges that those in the services industry face, so he was always sure to extend extra kindness and generous tips to those that provided him service.

A health crisis several years ago allowed Robby to refocus his life. He lived the last four years to the fullest, finally traveling to places he had always talked about going to and focusing on being happy for the first time. All who knew him would agree that the final iteration of Robby Lee was the most joyful, generous, and content that they had the pleasure of knowing.

Family and friends will fondly remember Robby for his dry wit, his mischievous smile, his pure enjoyment for practical jokes, and his loyalty. His love for fly-fishing, camping, soccer, and green chile were immediately known even by new acquaintances, and no one will ever forget the glint in his eyes when he spoke of his kids.

54 is too young to die, but those that survive Rob can take solace that he was happy and truly enjoying life when he passed.

Rest in peace dear Robby; know that you are greatly loved.

PNM making plans for a future without coal

By Hannah Grover

Farmington Daily Times

FARMINGTON — The state Public Regulation Commission is approaching the deadline for when it must issue a ruling on Public Service Company of New Mexico’s application to end operations at the San Juan Generating Station.

PNM Vice President of Generation Tom Fallgren said he anticipates a recommendation from the PRC’s hearing examiner in the coming weeks. Following the recommendation, the PRC commission will make a final decision. That decision must be made by April.

It will take longer for PNM to receive a PRC decision regarding replacement power.

Fallgren said the PRC may not decide on some portions of the replacement power application, including the Piñon Gas Plant, until this fall.

He said he wanted to speak to them following recent developments including the New Mexico Supreme Court’s ruling that the Energy Transition Act applies to PNM’s application to end operations at the power plant. The visit also came a week after the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission’s hearing on replacing the power from the San Juan Generating Station.

The visit also comes as PNM prepares its 2020 integrated resource plan — a document submitted to the PRC every three years that maps the future of generation over the upcoming years.

The plan released in 2017 served as the first public announcement that the San Juan Generating Station would close in 2022.

Future generation sources could look very di≠erent than what New Mexicans are used to seeing.

Fallgren said battery storage is e≠ective in meeting shortterm energy needs but can only store enough power to provide electricity for two to four hours.

PNM is looking at other methods that could provide longer storage without producing carbon emissions.

One of these options is pumped storage. Fallgren said he has several pumped storage proposals he is evaluating.

The idea of pumped storage has gained attention in the Southwest, and Los Alamos National Laboratory completed an assessment of pumped storage at the San Juan site. Pumped storage involves two large reservoirs.

Water would move in between the two reservoirs. One would be at a higher elevation than the other.

The LANL assessment found the three tunnels in the San Juan Mine could store about 150 million gallons of liquid and the ventilation shafts would allow for an approximately 400-foot drop. The assessment estimates it could provide 150 megawatt hours of electrical storage potential.

The LANL assessment considered using the San Juan Mine as the lower reservoir. Fallgren said that would lead to environmental concerns, and PNM would likely not choose to go that route.

In addition to battery and pumped storage, Fallgren said PNM is also looking at other ways to produce electricity with little to no emissions. These options include hydrogen power

and using methane from cow manure or emissions from landfills to generate power.

Carbon capture not an option for PNM One option that Fallgren said will not be on the table is continued use of the San Juan Generating Station with carbon capture. But that doesn’t mean PNM opposes Enchant Energy’s proposal to retrofit the power plant with carbon capture technology.

PNM spokesman Raymond Sandoval said choosing a generation portfolio is not like building with Legos, where one piece can easily be placed on top of another. Instead, he compared it to completing a jigsaw puzzle and said PNM must find the right piece.

Sandoval and Fallgren said San Juan Generating Station is not the right piece of the puzzle for the utility in the future because it is not as flexible as natural gas, and the Energy Transition Act requires PNM to generate a certain amount of electricity from clean or renewable sources.

Fallgren said PNM hopes Enchant Energy can be successful with retrofitting the San Juan Generating Station with carbon capture, but it needs further reassurances that PNM customers will not be liable for the costs if Enchant Energy takes ownership and something happens, such as an environmental disaster.

The five current power plant owners and the four owners who have previously exited the plant met with Enchant Energy on Feb. 5.

“I would have termed [that] as very preliminary discussions,” Fallgren said.

He said they did not reach any agreements, and another meeting between the various entities is scheduled for April.

Enchant Energy Chief Operating O∞cer Peter Mandelstam agreed with Fallgren’s assertion that the meeting covered preliminary discussions. He said an agreement between the nine participating owners includes a lot of complicated topics that must be addressed before the transfer occurs. However, he said he believes the meeting was productive.

“We believe there is now a process for moving forward together,” Mandelstam said.

Fallgren said PNM does not dispute the science behind carbon capture technology, but

it does not have the financial assurance that the project can be successful. He said PNM needs to protect its customers from having to pick up the bills if something happens.

Enchant Energy plans to use surety bonds to cover that liability, which Fallgren said could be a solution. He said the “devil’s in the details” when it comes to surety bonds. Whether those bonds are enough to satisfy PNM will depend on the length of the bonds’ term as well as the amount.

“We would love to see it go forward,” he said, adding that it would preserve the tax base and prevent job losses.

Sandoval and Fallgren said they would like to see Enchant Energy provide more information to the San Juan Generating Station employees to allow them to make informed decisions about their futures.

If the power plant does close in 2022, PNM will be responsible ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO for decommissioning the plant.

The coal-fired San Juan Generating Station near Farmington, seen in 2009, is due to be shut down.

That would involve closing evaporation ponds and making the structure both physically and environmentally safe.

The utility also would have to comply with its permit requirements in terms of restoration at the mine site.

Fallgren said PNM believes it would save customers money if the company defers dismantling the structure.

This has been a concern for Hotline: 505-764-3750 San Juan County o∞cials who Now NMFOG.org fear it could become an eyesore Make like the old refinery on County Road 5500.

Unemployment aid available for power plant workers PREWITT — State labor o∞cials say workers who are laid o≠ as a result of a planned power plant closure in northwestern New Mexico will be eligible for unemployment benefits.

Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association announced earlier this year it would close the coal-fired Escalante Station by the end of 2020. Layo≠s are expected in March.

State and local o∞cials have said they are concerned about the economic e≠ects the closure will have, especially in a rural region where jobs are scarce.

State Workforce Solutions Secretary Bill McCamley said workers who will be forced to look for a new job as a result of the layo≠s should have access to a safety net as they transition.

something and by the time they come back down the car is gone.”

Akhil said law enforcement believes that organized crime rings are likely operating chop shops in New Mexico.

“What we’re trying to do is go to the head and find the kingpins who are operating this,” he said.

Akhil argued on the House floor that the legislation is necessary to create penalties specifically for chop shops because a current law pertains only to theft in general. The bill defines a chop shop as a facility where stolen motor vehicles or their parts are possessed, received, stored or altered.

The bill would make it a third-degree felony, punishable by up to three years of imprisonment or a $5,000 fine. It will now be assigned to a Senate committee.

A fiscal analysis of the bill says it could potentially increase the amount of public spending on indigent defense of chop shop violators. A midlevel public defender in Albuquerque makes $102,200 a year, and the Legislative Finance Committee in its fiscal year 2021 budget recommendations suggested $900,000 for new attorneys, which would allow the agency to hire about 8.5 additional public defenders.

“It is unknown if this is a su∞cient number of attorneys to absorb the possible increased workload,” the fiscal analysis said.

It’s possible the $5,000 fine could bring in additional money for the state, the analysis said.

There is no data available estimating the number of chop shops in the state, or how many violations might result in prison time rather than fines.

As of 2014, 15 other states including Colorado and the federal government have statutes outlawing chop shops, according to the Administrative O∞ce of the Courts.

LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP Days remaining in session: 5 Let the cameras in: The

Senate unanimously passed a resolution Saturday night that would allow members of the public and the media to record video and audio in committee hearings without having to get permission.

The vote on Senate Resolution 2, sponsored by Sen. Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces, came after state senators kicked a television reporter out of a public committee meeting this month. The prior Senate rule stipulated that photography, video or audio recording of committee meetings “may, upon request, be allowed with the permission of the chair and ranking member.”

Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, who asked KRQE reporter Rachel Knapp to leave Feb. 6, said on the floor she thought it was “very, very important that the media always have access.”

No medicinal pot for nonresidents: The Senate approved

a bill Saturday night that would prohibit out-of-state residents from obtaining medical marijuana licenses in New Mexico. Senate Bill 139, sponsored by Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, passed 33-6.

The proposal comes after a state district judge ruled last year that qualifying out-of-state residents could participate in New Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Program. State officials and proponents of the bill argued the Legislature made a drafting error last year when it removed the residency requirement while tweaking language in the 2007 law that created the medical marijuana program.

Election changes: The House on Saturday passed a bill 46-17 that makes several technical changes to election law dealing with precinct boundaries, same-day voter registration and requirements for mailing envelopes on returned ballots, among other changes.

House Bill 229 clarifies that those registering to vote on the same day they intend to vote have until 5 p.m. on Election Day to do so in special elections and clarifies what identification is necessary to register: a government-issued ID or other documentation containing an address that matches the address on the registration certificate.

Social Security tax: In a letter to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, House Republicans are asking the governor to publicly express support for House Bill 29 or use her line-item veto power to repeal a state tax on Social Security benefits.

The request comes after HB 29, sponsored by Rep. Gail Armstrong, R-Magdalena, and Rep. Cathrynn Brown, R-Carlsbad, was recently tabled in the House Taxation and Revenue Committee. Bills that are tabled in committee often fail to proceed.

In the letter, House GOP members argue the Social Security income tax discourages retirees from coming to New Mexico.

Here comes the sun: The Senate passed legislation late Saturday aimed at encouraging homes and businesses in the state to install solar panel power systems. Senate Bill 29, sponsored by Sen. Mimi Stewart and Rep. Matthew McQueen, would create an income tax credit of 10 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing solar for residential, agricultural and commercial purposes. The bill would renew a previous solar tax credit that

expired in 2016.

Looking ahead: A bill that sup-

porters say would make it easier to stop the sale of endangered species such as shark fins and rhinoceros tusks cleared the House Judiciary Committee 10-2 Saturday and now moves to the House floor for consideration.

Supporters of Democratic Sen. Mimi Stewart’s Senate Bill 75 say there is a renewed urgency to approve the measure because the ongoing coronavirus in China has been linked to the sale of wildlife there. The bill would create civil penalties for wildlife trafficking, including fines up to $10,000 or three times the value of the items sold.

Quotes of the day: “The reason I’m carrying [the bill] is I care about every dog and cat in the state of New Mexico.” — Sen. Jacob Candelaria, D-Albuquerque, during a floor debate on his bill to impose an additional fee on pet food that would fund the dog and cat spay and neuter assistance program.

“We’ve got a little Shih Tzu. Excuse my language.” — Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, during the SB 57 debate on the proposed pet food fee.

Ex-priest, murderer tied to Servants of Paraclete dies at 87 HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A former priest who was sentenced to life in prison for the 1960 killing of a schoolteacher who came to him for confession has died, prison o∞cials said.

John Bernard Feit, 87, died Thursday afternoon at Huntsville Hospital, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.

The agency said in a statement that the preliminary cause of death was cardiac arrest, the McAllen Monitor reported.

In 2017, a jury in South Texas convicted the then-85-year-old man of killing 25-year-old Irene

Garza in 1960. Prosecutors said Garza went to Feit for confession at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in McAllen, Texas. Her bludgeoned body was found days later, and an autopsy revealed she had been raped, beaten and su≠ocated.

By the late 1960s Feit had become one of the leaders at the Servants of the Paraclete, a Roman Catholic religious order that operated a retreat in Jemez Springs for troubled priests. He acted as a supervisor with the responsibility of clearing priests.

Among the men Feit helped keep in ministry was child molester James Porter, who assaulted more than 100 victims before he was defrocked and sent to prison.

As of Saturday, there were more than 66,000 confirmed cases and more than 1,400 deaths, mostly in mainland China.

The number of U.S. COVID-19 cases remained unchanged at 15, according to the CDC. There were no reported cases in New Mexico.

Secretary Kathy Kunkel said the the New Mexico Department of Health is vigilant, has a stock of personal protection equipment such as masks and respirators, and is ready to adapt to a fluid situation. She said the department has su∞cient supplies of equipment, although she didn’t not clarify how much is stocked or for whom it is intended.

“I wish I could reassure everyone in the state to be as comfortable with our situation right now,” she said. “But it’s on the news and people are concerned.”

Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters face masks are not as e≠ective as hand-washing in a Jan. 30 briefing.

“We don’t routinely recommend the use of face masks by the public to prevent respiratory illness,” she said. “And we certainly are not recommending that at this time for this new virus.”

Despite the CDC’s guidelines, face masks are one of the world’s hottest commodities right now.

MarketWatch reported Alibaba-owned Chinese retailer Taobao reported more than 80 million sales of face masks a day.

The company urged sellers not to increase the price of masks despite the spike in demand.

The World Health Organization has not formally called COVID-19 a pandemic, defined as the worldwide spread of a new disease. The last o∞cial pandemic was the H1N1 swine flu in 2009, and while the deaths weren’t significantly higher than most flu years, the disease did a≠ect a younger population.

Denver mayor says he’ll act to keep pit bull ban

By Katie Mettler Washington Post

Fe to Palestine, colonization is a crime.”

Others wore ke∞yeh, black and white checkered scarfs that are a sign of solidarity with Palestine.

Hope Alvarado, 23, chairwoman of the Red Nation’s Albuquerque Freedom Council, said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the plight of Native Americans in the aftermath of colonization are the same.

“We are not against Jewish people. We are against the actions of the state of Israel,” Alvarado said.

Qadira Naji, whose father is Palestinian, cried when she

saw the mural, saying it was meaningful to see it displayed so prominently.

“In America, you usually have to tip-toe around the issues of Israel-Palestine,” Naji said.

Not everyone was in favor of the artwork. Brian Yapko, a Santa Fe lawyer who is Jewish, said in a telephone interview that the images on the wall are hurtful, dishonest and one-sided.

“It’s a blood libel depicting that all Jewish soldiers whose sole purpose is to kill children,” Yapko said.

Remy unveiled the artwork in January on a wall surrounding a home at Old Pecos Trail and Camino Lejo. The images include a 14-year-old boy throwing a

stone at a tank, children waving a Palestinian flag and soldiers pointing guns at children and women.

City o∞cials have told the property owner, Guthrie Miller, to remove the art because the papier-mâché images are not permitted under Santa Fe’s historic preservation rules, but that decision is under appeal.

Leaders of the Jewish Federation of New Mexico and Santa Fe Middle East Watch could not be reached for comment; Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath.

The property owner also could not be reached for comment.

Asked if he would replace the images if they were taken down, Remy said he wouldn’t have to.

“There’s a whole group out here armed with the tools,” he said, pointing to people pasting the paper to the wall. “I hope they use them.”

PROVO, Utah — Native American women face a murder rate that is more than 10 times the national average, according to federal statistics, and a Utah lawmaker wants to address the violence.

Democratic state Rep. Angela Romero said her top priority this year is her proposal to create a task force aimed at studying violence against indigenous women, the Daily Herald in Provo reported.

“Native American women are at a higher risk than any other demographic when it comes to sexual violence and domestic abuse,” Romero said.

Those crimes can be particularly challenging because they often involve many di≠erent agencies. If a crime happens on a Native American reservation, the investigation can involve tribal police, local police, and state and federal law enforcement.

“We need to find a way to ensure that all these entities are connecting and working together so that people aren’t falling through the cracks,” she said.

Her plan would bring together lawmakers, researchers, tribes and law enforcement. It would also include an advocate for victims, a voice that sometimes isn’t heard on projects like this, Romero said.

“For me, it was really important to have Native voices and to have a balance of law enforcement … and individuals who are trying to do preventative work in this area,” she said.

Romero is working with Republican Sen. David Hinkins, whose district includes the Utah portion of the Navajo Nation, which also stretches into Arizona and New Mexico. He has said the issue is an important one to people he represents. A nationwide study of 71 cities by the Urban Indian Health Institute found Utah had the eighth-highest number of missing and slain indigenous women.

The task force would receive a one-time appropriation of $40,000 for sta∞ng. Its main goal would be to create a report about what gaps exist and a road map to prevent and address future violence.

The measure passed its first hurdle this week, and will now be considered by the full House.

“Will we solve everything? No, but it’s a starting point of where to point us as the Legislature,” Romero said.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock announced he will veto an ordinance passed last week by the City Council that would have repealed a 30-year-old ban on pit bulls.

Hancock sent his decision to the council in a letter Friday, outlining why he was exercising his power as mayor to override the council’s 7-4 vote in favor of lifting the ban.

“After deep reflection and consideration, I find that I cannot, in good conscience, support this legislation,” he wrote.

Thousands of residents on both sides of the debate have contacted the mayor’s o∞ce in the past week, Hancock wrote, “passionately expressing their opinions” on an issue that has long divided local governments, housing authorities and military bases across the country.

Proponents of pit bull bans, formally called breed-specific legislation, argue the dogs are genetically predisposed to violence. However, animal experts say that notion is misinformed and not based on science.

Organizations such as the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Bar Association, the Humane Society of the United States and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have expressly opposed breed-specific legislation, according to a journal article for the AVMA. Even the National Animal Care and Control Association has said restrictions on dangerous animals should be based on a dog’s individual behavior, not on its breed. Pit bull is not a breed but rather a generic category that can include American pit bull terriers or Sta≠ordshire terriers and mixes, and studies have found the label is often given arbitrarily.

505-988-2663 chavezsecurity.com

Hancock said he was vetoing the ban reversal because he felt the ordinance did not realistically account for the city’s current challenges with regulating dog ownership of any kind. Less than 20 percent of pets in Denver are currently licensed, he wrote in the letter.

Under the reversal ordinance, pit bull ownership would have began with a “breed-restricted license,” which registers the animal with the city and requires proof that the dog has been microchipped, vaccinated for rabies, and spayed or neutered.

After 36 months without a violation of the city’s animal safety policies, Denver Animal Protection would have waived the need for a restricted license and allowed owners to register their pit bulls under the same requirements of any other breed.

The new ordinance would have limited pet owners to two pit bulls per household.

Owners were required to notify the city within eight hours if their pit bull bit something or escaped. If the dog died or the owner moved, the owner was required to alert the city within 24 hours.

But Hancock said the city cannot allow pit bull ownership until greater progress has been made to address o≠-leash dogs and pet licensing and registration.

“The reality is that irresponsible pet owners continue to be a problem, and it is the irresponsible owners and their dogs I must consider in evaluating the overall impact of this ordinance,” Hancock said. “We cannot diminish the very real, very traumatic experiences of those who have reached out to me to share their stories.”

The mayor praised the ordinance’s sponsor, Councilman Christopher Herndon, but said he does not believe the proposed

language “fully addresses the very real risk to severe injury that can result from attacks from these particular dog breeds, especially should they happen to a child.”

The reversal would pose an “increased risk” to the people of Denver. Passing it would do a “disservice” to the community if “harm comes to someone as a result.”

“I’m disappointed the mayor is choosing to disregard the science on the issue of breed-specific legislation,” Herndon said in a statement.

“Research tells us breed-specific legislation is ine≠ective at keeping communities safe and experts in the field — from the local level to the national level — agree it is no longer best practice.”

If the council does not vote to override the mayor’s veto, Herndon said he will prepare a ballot measure on the ban for the November election.

“I hope my colleagues on Council will support an evidence-based approach to our animal ordinance, rather than one steeped in fear and stereotypes,” Herndon wrote.

Breed-restriction ordinances in cities across the country first gained popularity in the 1980s, when news reports maligned pit bulls as aggressive and threats to public safety, according to the AVMA. The first breed-specific ordinance in the United States was enacted in Hollywood, Fla., in 1980, but was reversed two years later when a judge ruled there was little evidence that pit bulls posed a greater threat than other dogs, the article said.

As of 2017, more than 900 U.S. cities had some form of breed-specific ordinance, the AVMA says.

Denver’s ban was enacted in 1989.

communicating authority properly, I must mention the currently ubiquitous habit of parents ending instructions with “OK?” When that is the case, the instruction is no longer an instruction; rather, it is a suggestion, and a suggestion that sounds whining to boot.

Today’s parents are not having more problems with child obedience than their great-grandparents even thought possible because the oppositional-defiant mutation entered the gene pool 40 years ago.

They are having said problems because they are — not all of them, of course, but entirely too many — acting like wimps in front of their kids. In many parent-child situations, there is no adult in the room.

Yet another common contemporary parenting mistake is using consequences (when they are needed) that mean nothing.

A mother recently told me her 5-year-old daughter hit her in a fit of pique. What did mom do? She put the little narcissist in timeout for five minutes.

“Are you ready?” I asked.

“For what?”

“For her to hit you again. You’ve taught her that if she hits you, you will do essentially nothing.”

She asked what I recommended if it happens again. I told her to confine her daughter to her very nice and comfortable room for a month, during which she can enjoy parole to eat with the family, do chores, go to church and school, and accompany the family outside the home. She also goes to bed immediately after supper, seven days a week. No birthday parties, sleepovers or sports. The operative principle: If a consequence does not establish a permanent memory, it’s been a waste of time and e≠ort.

Readers protest: “A month!

You’ve got to be kidding! She’s only 5!”

Right. And she has a very nice room. In fact, confined to her room, said 5-year-old will have a better month than at least half of the world’s children. One thing is certain: At age 70, she will remember being in her room for a month when she was 5. She will also remember that she never hit her mother again.

The health care system in the United States has left far too many women feeling unsupported, overwhelmed and exhausted after giving birth.

New moms must get more sleep from both seeking and finding help.

because “there are an infinite number of combinations, and when you have combinations of risk factors that you’re comparing, the number of cases that you can compare becomes very small, and it becomes statistically impossible to do.”

And this is where we face a common hurdle when it comes to studying pregnancy and infant care: There is a vast multiplicity of variables and factors and contexts, making controlled studies incredibly di∞cult.

There are several things everyone I spoke with agreed on: First, a baby’s health is directly linked to a mother’s health. Second, our health care system needs to do a better job reflecting this reality. Third, one of the biggest game-changers would be mandated paid parental leave.

It bears repeating that we are the only developed country that does not have mandated paid parental leave. This lack of leave is directly tied to a mother’s struggle with safe sleep choices because she’s forced to go back to work so soon after her baby is born.

Mothers also face the problem of America’s obsession with idealized motherhood.

Rashmi Kudesia of fertility clinic CCRM Houston says this can leave many new moms blindsided by the harsh realities of early parenthood. “Our culture promotes the myth of an Instagram-worthy pregnancy with smiling bump shots and a postpartum course where mom bounces back quickly and returns to work soon after delivery,” she says.

“Countries that promote parental leaves of 12 or more months, and a less medicalized, more collaborative version of pregnancy and childbirth, generally create a more supportive atmosphere around maternity care.”

For the many mothers who, like me, have sat holding their infants while sobbing because of exhaustion or sat watching their baby sleep strapped into a swing while sobbing because of the shame of “doing it wrong,” we are not alone.

“From the moment we find out we’re pregnant, we’re told about limiting behavior — don’t do this, this is wrong ... don’t trust yourself,” says Angela Garbes, author of Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy. Garbes argues that sharing our stories can be a way forward. By simply saying, “This is what I know to be true,” we can slowly make our voices heard in a health care system where “mothers are really only of value insofar as gestating and creating the next generation of consumers and workers.”

She still hasn’t.

She’s not alone. According to a Washington Post article on results of surveys by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 26 percent to 33 percent of millennials do not have an ongoing relationship with a primary doctor — twice as high as people ages 50 to 64.

This is a stark generational pattern.

Millennials have been raised on the speed and convenience of online shopping and banking, yet their parents respected and trusted longtime general practitioners as our holistic healers and advisers.

Today, many millennials rely on fragmented health care by dashing into an urgent care center for one symptom: the flu or a respiratory infection. Ideally, though, a doctor who is familiar with a patient’s background and medical history will personalize care, looking beyond the one symptom that brought you to seek medical care.

“Regardless of how healthy you are, you need someone who knows you,” Michael Munger told the Post. President of the American Academy of Family Physicians, Munger believes it’s best to find a doctor who knows you before you have a health crisis.

Top teams even after clash Peñasco beats Escalante as rivals remain tied atop district with week left in regular season

By James Barron

jbarron@sfnewmexican.com

I

t was just a basketball game to the Peñasco Lady Panthers.

Finally.

On paper, Saturday’s District 5-2A game between Peñasco and Escalante was a matchup between the top two teams. For the Lady Panthers, though, the game was one more step in the healing process.

It was the teams’ first game since Jan. 30 when Peñasco lost key reserve Jennifer Aguilar to a gruesome head Peñasco 64 injury during a Escalante 60 physical 43-35 win for the Lady Lobos.

This rematch was a test to see if the Lady Panthers were ready to move forward, or if they hadn’t left behind what happened in Tierra Amarilla.

A sluggish and tentative start gave way to a more confident group that rallied from an early 11-point deficit behind 32 points from senior post Carly Gonzales. Peñasco held on for a 64-60 win in a packed Jicarita Gymnasium and forced a tie atop the 5-2A standings with a week left in the regular season.

Gonzales also broke the 2,000-point barrier for her career, which was a nice respite from the specter from the previous meeting when Aguilar crumpled on the floor and convulsing after her head collided with an Escalante player’s knee. Peñasco head coach Mandy Montoya forfeited the rest of the game after the play, as the injury traumatized many of her players.

If anything, the game put to rest whatever lingering issues the Lady Panthers (22-2 overall, 7-1 in 5-2A) had with the incident.

“I think we did pretty well,” Peñasco senior Adrianna Tafoya said. “We stuck together, we weren’t afraid to come back out [on the floor] and we came back out stronger than before. We held our emotions and just played the game of basketball.”

That was the case for the last 28 minutes of the game, but the first four were fraught with timidity and uncertainty. The Lady Panthers got o≠ to a slow start, and some of them admitted it was because they didn’t know how the game would be called. Gonzales, who compared the style of play of the first matchup to a “football game,” said it took a while for the players to get a feel for the game.

“We didn’t know what to expect,” Gonzales said. “It was a game where we were going to see how the refs are, how we are. We were all anxious.”

The Lady Lobos (15-7, 7-1) pounced on Peñasco, hitting seven of their first 10 shots from the field and six in a row to build a 16-5 lead on Brycelyn Martinez’s jumper with 3:58 left in the opening quarter. Montoya called a timeout to settle her team down and get them to adjust to the style of play.

“You can’t get caught up in the crowd, the rankings, the opponent,” Montoya said. “It’s just focusing on what is front of you. Ultimately, it is still another game, and we talked about that before the game.”

What followed was 12 minutes of textbook Lady Panthers basketball.

Lobos lose as season crashing to an end Failure to score late in game costs UNM in UNLV defeat

ALBUQUERQUE — With so many outcroppings bumped into along the way, it’s getting harder and harder to tell anymore where rock bottom is for the UniUNLV 78 versity of New Mexico UNM 73 men’s basketball team.

The Lobos su≠ered what may have been a season-killing home loss to UNLV on Saturday afternoon in The Pit, dropping a 78-73 decision that all but assures them of the near-impossible task of playing their way into the postseason through the opening round of the upcoming Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Saturday’s lowlight reel included this: The team’s star player had the crowd turn on him, the chemistry on the court seems to be deteriorating by the second and even the monotone reaction from the players afterward appears to underscore UNM’s demise.

“I just suck right now,” said senior point guard JaQuan Lyle after a third straight ugly performance following his return from four missed games due to a knee injury and a suspension. “Not making any shots. Not helping my teammates in any way.”

Lyle was averaging more than 17 points before his hiatus but has missed 20 of the 25 shots he’s taken the last three games. He was held to three points on four shot attempts in Saturday’s loss, all of them coming on free throws to break a scoreless tie moments after tipo≠.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Dusty Baker wants action from Major League Baseball: End the criticism of the Astros from across baseball over sign stealing, and take steps to ensure pitchers don’t throw at his players.

“It’s not good for the game, it’s not good for kids to see it, so I think both,” the new Houston manager said Saturday. “Stop the comments and also stop something before it happens.”

Baker spoke in response to a wave of harsh comments during spring training about the Astros’ use of video to steal signs in 2017 and 2018. Los Angeles Dodger first baseman Cody Bellinger said Friday the Astros “stole” the 2017 World Series title from them and adds

Astros manager Dusty Baker says, ‘I’m depending on the league to try to put a stop to the seemingly premeditated retaliation that I’m hearing about.’

that Jose Altuve did likewise with the MVP, denying the Yankees’ Aaron Judge.

Houston players, management and ownership spent the first day of camp apologizing for their actions and pro-

fessing remorse. But many players and front o∞ces around the league didn’t feel they went far enough.

Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said he wanted to hear the Astros use the word “cheated” when address-

ing the situation.

“I’m depending on the league to try to put a stop to the seemingly premeditated retaliation that I’m hearing about,” Baker said. “In most instances in life you get kind of reprimanded for when you have premeditated anything.”

Los Angeles pitcher Ross Stripling indicated he might intentionally throw at Houston batters.

“We don’t start nothing,” Baker said.

“This is kind of the slogan of my team: We don’t start anything — not intentionally. Guys are going to be getting hit intentionally and unintentionally. If you say you are going to drill somebody and all of the sudden you drill them, you can’t say, ‘I wasn’t trying to hit them,’ you know what I mean?”

Sophomore guard Elijah Apodaca had 12 points off the bench, while Jaiden Block saw significant playing time, as well.

Standouts: Fedonta “JB” White had 24 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Demons.

Cruz Martinez chipped in with 10.

Johnson ‘energized’ for likely final Daytona

By Dan Gelston Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The last chance to appreciate Jimmie Johnson leading the field at the Daytona 500 may come during the pace laps.

Shortly after President Donald Trump gives drivers the command to start their engines, Johnson will zip ahead of the other 39 cars and take a ceremonial trip around the track up front during the warmup lap.

Daytona International Speedway will honor the seven-time NASCAR champion with a tribute video on the track’s big screen that will celebrate his greatest accomplishments.

Johnson will then fall in line and start sixth Sunday, the two-time Daytona 500 champion still as respected as any driver in NASCAR — but far from the serious threat he once was to contend for the victory.

For those who know Johnson best, his drive to finish his final full season in NASCAR in championship style can’t be beat.

“I’ve never seen Jimmie so energized,” team owner Rick Hendrick said Saturday.

“Sometimes a guy in his last year, they’re celebrating, it’s the end. I don’t want to say they coast, but it’s not a priority to run fast and win. Jimmie is really fired up.”

Johnson took a moment before practice Saturday to shake hands with Richard Petty, the only other living seven-time NASCAR champion.

Johnson seemed poised to pass Petty and Dale Earnhardt atop the record book when he won his seventh title in 2016. Sure, the winner of 83 career Cup races would love to close his full-time career with a record eighth title, but the 44-year-old Californian is trying to enjoy his final ride.

TODAY ON TV 12:30 p.m. FOX — NASCAR Cup Series: The Daytona 500, Daytona Beach, Fla.

Johnson says he’s doing nothing more than “retire” from 38 NASCAR weekends a year and intends to shift into other forms of motorsports. He hasn’t ruled out a limited NASCAR schedule, and has been hesitant to commit that Sunday is, in fact, his final Daytona 500.

But the weekend sure is being treated like his “Great American Race” finale.

Besides the pace lap drive in the No. 48 Chevrolet, fans can relive Johnson’s two Daytona 500 wins (2006, 2013) at a three-panel kiosk located in the infield. His Hendrick Motorsports teammates and his rivals taped testimonials to Johnson that will be played at the race.

looks players got at the start.

Meanwhile, Gonzales got hot in the second quarter. She scored 14 points as she shredded the Lady Lobos’ interior. Gonzales scored nine of the Lady Panthers’ first 11 points of the quarter, and her bucket o≠ a drive from the right wing with 3:18 left gave Peñasco a 23-21 lead.

The margin grew to 31-23 before Escalante finally got to within 31-26 at the half. Escalante tried a variety of defenses to slow her down, from a 2-3 zone, to man-to-man, to a boxand-1, to even double-teaming her. None of them were very e≠ective — mainly because the

Lady Panthers have seen almost everything opponents can throw at them.

“We went over those boxand-1s, we kinda expected that,” Gonzales said. “We practice that.

Just don’t force it, don’t lose control. Look for other options.”

When Escalante took a 40-39 lead on Kalese Torres’ hook shot with 2:53 left in the third, sophomore guard Martina Tafoya knocked down a corner 3-point that kicked o≠ a 15-4 run to give the Lady Panthers a 54-44 advantage.

Adrianna Tafoya, the normally reliable sidekick for Gonzales, was quiet until the run, as she had five of her 10 points.

“We all knew that they were

going to key on her,” Adrianna Tafoya said. “We had to adjust and [we] have to start getting aggressive in order to open up Carly.”

However, the Lady Panthers had one more test to ace — learning how to preserve a lead.

Escalante plugged away and got within 58-57 on Martinez’s steal and shot o≠ the glass that bounced o≠ the rim about a halfdozen times before dropping in.

Peñasco turned the ball over twice and took a couple of ill-advised shots over the final 3 minutes, but it found its composure when the moment arose. Senior guard Alexandria Sandoval, whom Montoya calls “me on the court,” drove the left baseline

and flipped a pass to a waiting Gonzales for a layup and a 60-57 lead with 42 seconds left.

“Those types of situations make us tougher for the next game,” Adrianna Tafoya said. “I would say we got a taste of state — a big crowd, the refs and just a close game like that.”

Chances are, the two teams will see each other twice more — for a 5-2A playo≠ to determine the top seed and the district tournament championship.

Now that the Lady Panthers have cast aside any emotional baggage they might still be carrying from Aguilar’s injury, they can go back to doing what they do best.

They can just play basketball again.

NAM Y. HUH/ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Heat’s Derrick Jones Jr. finally got his long-awaited dunk contest title Saturday at the NBA All-Star slam dunk contest in Chicago.

SIDELINES Jones Jr., Adebayo, Hield winners in All-Star Saturday competitions CHICAGO — Aaron Gordon lost another epic dunk contest.

And it was by a couple of inches — namely, the top of Tacko Fall’s head.

Derrick Jones Jr. finally got his long-awaited dunk contest title as an exclamation point to an scintillating All-Star Saturday Night, both for him and the Miami Heat. Jones and Gordon needed a dunk-o≠ to decide a winner, Jones prevailing 48-47 in the one that determined who left with the trophy.

Miami’s Bam Adebayo won the skills title as well, and Sacramento’s Buddy Hield took the 3-point crown. Their wins were absolute, without ambiguity: the ball going in told the tale. But the dunk contest — much like the one between Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins in Chicago 32 years earlier — came down to the judges’ call.

Gordon brushed against the back of Fall’s head, and that was enough to sway three of the judges — they gave 9s, and that combined with two 10s added to the final 47. Jones said he would have settled for another dunk-o≠ round.

“He clipped Tacko’s head when he did that dunk, so I knew they couldn’t have gave him a 50 for that one,” said Jones, who was in the dunk contest in 2017 as well. “I would have respected it if they gave him another 48, so we can go again.”

Thing is, it wasn’t clear if they would have dunked again had it still been tied after Gordon’s final attempt. The NBA was not going to permit co-champions, and there would have been a point — which they were possibly at — when judges would have had to vote and decide a winner.

Toffoli hits NHL’s 1st outdoor hat trick

Lobos lose to UNLV as season crashing to an end Continued from Page D-1

He had a particularly bad stretch early in the second half, turning the ball over on a forced pass into the post that was deflected into the sixth row.

Head coach Paul Weir subbed him out moments later, drawing an ovation from the 11,794 in attendance.

Despite all that, the Lobos were only down a point after Corey Manigault made one of two free-throw attempts to cut UNLV’s lead to 74-73 with 46 seconds left. They had the ball and a chance at the lead on their next possession when Zane Martin turned it over, losing his dribble with 18 seconds remaining.

Their last opportunity to tie it went by the wayside when Martin missed an open 3-point try with four seconds left, ending any and all hope.

“Unfortunately at the end, I just think it seemed like we ran out of a little bit of gas,” Weir said. “We didn’t seem to play with a ton of energy tonight to begin with, probably the first time we felt just flat in a while.”

Now 17-10 overall and 6-8 in

conference, New Mexico is all but assured of missing out on a first-round bye in the MWC Tournament. No team has ever won the league’s postseason showcase without having earned an automatic spot in the quarterfinals; playing in the opening round requires four wins in four days to get the conference’s automatic NCAA Tournament bid.

In sole possession of seventh place, the Lobos would need to finish fifth or better to avoid the first round. They trail the four-team logjam of teams tied for second place at 9-5, a group followed closely by UNLV (13-14, 8-6). There are only four games left in the regular season.

“I’d rather go through the rough times now than in March, you know what I’m saying?”

Martin said.

There are a boatload of issues for the Lobos to iron out if they are to have any kind of chance of turning things around. UNLV’s quicker guards continually shredded the Lobo defense by making several drives through tra∞c to reach the rim, not to mention the seasonlong hiccups the team has had with rebound-

ing, turnovers and 3-point defense.

Now you can add free throw shooting to the mix. The Lobos missed five critical foul shots in the final five minutes, missing 11 for the game. They’re also struggling to keep hot players open; McGee hit three 3-pointers in a row early in the first half but didn’t score again after missing his final five tries, and the perplexing play of Vance Jackson is impossible to figure out.

The 6-foot-9 junior had a recent stretch of five games where he averaged 18.4 points, but he has scored just 13 the last two and been held to seven points or less in four of his last five outings.

Weir said he feels part of his team’s issue is the player profiles of those he has on the court at any given time.

“I think we’ve been a pretty good o≠ensive team this year,” Weir said. “So I don’t think it’s anything that a≠ecting us on the o≠ensive end. Obviously tonight, defensively we struggled.”

The Rebels shot 50 percent for the game, scoring more points in the paint and on fast breaks

than the Lobos. All in all, just another rough outing for a team that’s slip-sliding its way into irrelevance faster than most fans could have predicted.

GAME NOTES Boo birds: The fans had a

chance to show their unhappy side during a pair of in-game promotional ads for the next home game Tuesday night against Nevada.

The Wolf Pack is coached, of course, by former Lobos head coaches Steve Alford and Craig Neal. The public address announcer reminded fans there are tickets still left, “for the return of Steve Alford to The Pit.” That drew a chorus of boos both times from the fans.

Still waiting, coach: Weir said he’d issue a media statement in a few days regarding freshman Bayron Matos-Garcia. That was more than a week ago. Still no word.

Matos-Garcia has not yet made an appearance for UNM after enrolling in classes for the spring semester. He is eligible to play but Weir has been pushing a redshirt year for him instead, saying he’d make an announcement about it “soon.”

With four games left in the regular season, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see Matos-Garcia until the fall.

For the basketball team, there is the opposite picture as UNM men’s coach Paul Weir has deleted his Twitter account and players like JaQuan Lyle and ex-Lobo Carlton Bragg have gone silent in what has been a tumultuous 2019-20 season. Lyle swore o≠ his account Jan. 2, saying he was done for the rest of the season on the day Caldwell filed a lawsuit against UNM trying to get his suspension overturned.

Lyle jumped back onto his account Jan. 29, issuing a letter of apology to Lobo fans for his involvement in an o≠-campus party that ended in gunfire. He hasn’t done anything on social media since, silencing an account that has nearly 12,000 followers — second only to Bragg, who was kicked o≠ the team Jan. 12.

Asked during a recent practice about social media accounts, Weir admitted that he sees the value in the positive e≠ects they create but said it can sometimes be a distraction. He said he never really had a policy with his players other than the obvious: Don’t post anything you’ll regret.

The men’s basketball Twitter

account is the most popular with about 200 more followers than football. Both hover just above 19,000 followers. The UNM Athletic Department’s master account that has 92,000 Twitter followers and each team is a regular poster on Instagram.

A number of players, like basketball’s Vance Jackson, posts more to his Instagram account than to Twitter largely because it’s a more visual representation of the user since photos or videos are required of every post.

Gonzales is realistic about the entire thing, saying it’s all a necessary evil in today’s day and age of smart phones and lack of interpersonal communication.

News literally travels at light speed on social media, and there are those at UNM who are riding the wave with him.

“I gotta give [athletic director] Eddie Nuñez and [associate athletic director] David Williams and President [Garnett] Stokes a lot of credit because they’ve come through with resources we’ve talked about,” Gonzales said. “You saw the recruiting push that we put together, our social media game — the resources to have the people behind the scenes to do that, the graphics have been unbelievable.

It shows what we’re able to do with the signing. They’ve come through with what they said and I think that’s what it’s going to take to build this up.”

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Tyler To≠oli will remember the Los Angeles Kings’ 3-1 win over Colorado on Saturday night at the Air Force Academy for so many reasons.

The thundering jets’ flyover. The cadets high-fiving players as they came o≠ the ice. The long clouds of breath, the short shifts.

Oh, and his three goals, the NHL’s first outdoor hat trick.

He didn’t even keep his stick for posterity.

He gave it to one of the cadets cheering him on.

“It was really cool. I think this whole experience has been pretty incredible. They did a great job,” To≠oli said. “The things that they do for the United States, all over the world, is pretty impressive. So, it wasn’t a very hard decision.”

To≠oli put Los Angeles ahead 2-1 with 54 seconds remaining when he scored o≠ a face-o≠, and then he added an empty-netter with 4.3 seconds left in the third and final outdoor game in the NHL this season.

Teammates Anze Kopitar and Alex Iafallo encouraged To≠oli to get open after the Avalanche pulled their goaltender following Tofolli’s tiebreaking goal.

“I think that’s the most nervous I’ve ever been putting the puck in an empty net in my life,” Tofolli said. “But it worked.”

Tenn. boxer Plant defends world title NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Caleb “Sweethands” Plant defended his IBF world super middleweight championship Saturday night with a technical knockout of Vincent Feigenbutz of Germany in the 10th round.

Plant, 27, improved to 20-0 with his 12th knockout. This was his second title defense since beating Jose Uzcategui for the belt in January 2019, but the first in Plant’s hometown in a moment he had dreamed about growing up.

The referee stopped the fight with 37 seconds left in the 10th after Plant’s uppercut snapped Feigenbutz’s head back, and Plant spread his arms out in celebration. He later dedicated his win to his late daughter and mother and Nashville.

This was the first major title fight in Nashville since July 19, 1997, when Frankie Liles defended his WBA super middleweight championship. Fans filled the lower bowl at Bridgestone Arena, and they were on their feet for Plant’s entrance into the arena. Plant wore an NFL Tennessee Titans’ jersey with his own name and the No. 1.

Swede sets new pole vault record GLASGOW, Scotland — Armand Duplantis set the world pole vault record on Saturday for the second time in eight days.

The American-born Swede eclipsed his own mark by a centimeter when he vaulted 20 feet, 3¼ inches at the Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix.

“This was such a great competition,” Duplantis said as he was handed a world record bonus check for $30,000. “There was such great energy the crowd was giving me and I really thrive o≠ that.”

Duplantis also set the record in Torun, Poland, on Feb. 8 when he bettered the mark set by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie in Donetsk, Ukraine, in February 2014.

Russia to lose Sochi Olympic gold SALZBURG, Austria — Russia is set to lose a biathlon gold medal from the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics following a new doping ban for a leading athlete.

The International Biathlon Union on Saturday announced a two-year ban for Evgeny Ustyugov, who was part of the gold medal-winning men’s relay team six years ago, citing evidence he used the banned steroid oxandrolone around the time of the Olympics.

His results from the 2013-14 season have been disqualified, including the Olympic victory.

When confirmed by the International Olympic Committee, it will knock Russia o≠ top spot in the Sochi medal table in terms of golds. The host nation would have 10 golds, against 11 for Norway, and 28 total medals, the joint-most along with the United States. Germany is in line to inherit the relay gold, subject to IOC confirmation.

Ustyugov, who is also facing another anti-doping charge on another matter, denies any wrongdoing and suggested the IBU was unfairly targeting him with a series of investigations.

“I’m no longer surprised. An outrage is an outrage,” he told the Russian state news agency Tass. “Time will show who is right.”

The Salzburg-based IBU also announced a similar two-year sanction for Svetlana Sleptsova, a Russian who didn’t win any medals at Sochi, over the banned substance ostarine.

Bryant casts shadow over All-Star Game TODAY ON TV

More tributes planned as players set to take court

6 p.m. on TNT, TBS — NBA All-Star Game: Team Giannis vs. Team LeBron, Chicago

By Andrew Seligman Associated Press

CHICAGO — Kobe Bryant always seemed to be in top form when he stepped onto the court for the NBA All-Star Game. The league’s current best will try to match his e≠ort when Team LeBron and Team Giannis meet on Sunday.

The All-Star festivities returned to Chicago for the first time since 1988 when Michael Jordan beat Dominique Wilkins in a slam dunk contest that remains the standard and scored 40 points to lead the East over the West.

But Bryant is casting a huge shadow over the events this weekend, just weeks after he and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were among nine people killed when their helicopter crashed into the side of a mountain near Los Angeles.

“We know that he’s watching over us,” the Lakers’ LeBron James said. “It’s our responsibility to just represent the purple and gold not only for him but for all the greats, everybody that’s ever come through the Lake Show. I really don’t want to sit up here and talk about it too much. It’s a very, very sensitive subject, but he’s with us every day.”

Bryant played on five NBA championship teams, won a league MVP award and two scoring titles in a career that spanned 20 seasons and has him poised to enter the Hall of Fame after he was announced Friday as one of eight finalists.

He was the youngest All-Star in league history, ranks second with 18 selections and took game MVP honors a record-tying four times, including on his home court in 2011 when he dazzled with 37 points and 14 rebounds. Bryant scored 20 or more seven times.

“The whole thing of paying respect to Kobe is awesome, so I think it’s going to be fun,” said Toronto’s Kyle

Baker to rivals: ‘Stop the comments’ Continued from Page D-1

Houston ace Justin Verlander expects the commissioner’s o∞ce to severely punish retaliation.

“The game has changed,” Verlander said. “I think the commissioner has made it very clear in the past few seasons that throwing a baseball at somebody intentionally isn’t an appropriate form of retaliation in the game any longer.”

Verlander also said it is “wrong” to speculate that the Astros, specifically Altuve, used buzzers as part of the sign stealing.

“We were successful in the World Series last year. All that stu≠ about buzzers and all that stu≠ is simply not true,” he said.

“People can speculate all they want. We dug our grave. We’re in it. I think emphatically everybody made it very clear that that wasn’t true.”

Outfielder George Springer declined to speak with the media before Saturday’s workout.

Altuve was not in the clubhouse during the time it was open to the media but through a spokesman also declined to comment on Bellinger’s remarks. Position players don’t begin their first o∞cial workouts until Monday.

Verlander is concerned about the respect the Astros have lost around the league. However, he expects more revelations about sign stealing by other teams to emerge.

“Yeah, it bothers me,” he said.

“But like I said, [Bellinger’s] entitled and everybody else is entitled to their own opinion. I think facts are still coming out, information’s still coming out, and I don’t think this is going to be something that’s done — not even for us. There’s going to be information that’s going to continue coming out for a long time.”

Could the Dodgers be one of those teams?

“I don’t want to insinuate about other organizations,” Verlander said. “The other day we apologized about what we did.”

Verlander also confirmed the Astros’ explanation from Friday about his reason for skipping a scheduled bullpen session.

“I threw an extensive bullpen the day before we started,” he said. “Just wanted to give myself a little time to recover after that.”

Paying tribute

A fan takes a photo of a mural painted in memory of former Lakers star Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, on Wednesday in New York. Bryant’s memory is expected to wash over Sunday’s All-Star Game.

Lowry, making his sixth straight All-Star appearance. “I’m hoping it’s really, really intense. Hopefully, we’ll give the fans one of the best All-Star Games ever.”

Here are some things to know:

Matchup James is looking to go 3-0 as an AllStar captain, after his team beat the one picked by Golden State’s Stephen Curry in 2018 and topped the one Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo selected last year. James had the No. 1 overall pick for the starters round because he received the most votes from the fans and took teammate Anthony Davis.

Antetokounmpo used his first pick on

Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid.

The Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard, Houston’s James Harden and Russell Westbrook, and Dallas’ Luka Doncic were among the players joining Davis on James’ team.

Toronto’s Pascal Siakam, Boston’s Kemba Walker, Atlanta’s Trae Young and Miami’s Jimmy Butler helped round out Team Giannis.

“I’m just competitive, and I’m just going to try to go out there and get a win, get my first All-Star [win],” Antetokounmpo said. “I’m 0-3 so far. But at the end of the day, I’ve just got to keep a smile on my face because we’ve got to put on a show for the people.”

Rules The league announced major changes to the All-Star format last month, turning quarters into mini-games.

The scores will be reset back to 0-0 prior to the second and third quarters, then be reinstated for the fourth.

The All-Star Game winner will be determined by a target score, set by the combined point total the team in the lead had in the first three quarters plus 24 — a nod to Bryant, who wore that number over the final decade of his career. That’s just one of multiple tributes to him over the weekend.

The teams are also playing for Chicago-area charities, with at least $500,000

The support for Bryant and his daughter is uniform.

Team Giannis will wear No. 24 on its jerseys and Team LeBron No. 2 for Gianna, a promising player who wore that number.

All participants in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday and 3-point, slam dunk and skills competition Saturday wore patches showing the numbers 24 and 2 and nine stars to commemorate the victims of the helicopter crash. The patches worn Sunday will only have the nine stars since players will be wearing the numbers 24 and 2.

“He was the Michael Jordan of our generation,” Antetokounmpo said. “He was one of those guys that gave back to the game so much, gave back to the players. A lot of people when they’re so great, they don’t do that. There was a quote that said that talent is worthless if you’re not willing to share it, right?

And he was one of those guys that was sharing his talent with us. He’s going to be definitely missed.”

Homecoming Davis, a Chicago product, won’t be the only player in familiar territory.

Butler will be playing where his career began.

Unheralded as a late first-round pick, he emerged as an All-Star and one of the league’s best two-way players in his six seasons with the Bulls before getting dealt to Minnesota in a 2017 draft day trade.

“Man, this city’s done a lot for me,” Butler said. “To me, kids are so important, and I love this city. So every time I come back, I try to do as much as I can with them.”

Nationals defeated Astros in Tar Heels hang on Series but feel overshadowed to rare JV squad

By Adam Zagoria

By Tyler Kepner

New York Times

New York Times

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The clocks in the Washington Nationals’ spring training clubhouse do more than tell time.

They are branded with an image of the Commissioner’s Trophy, reminding all who pass through that the Nationals are the reigning World Series champions.

The Houston Astros, who train on the other side of the complex, are not — but their sign-stealing scandal has consumed the sport.

The neighbors are a bit annoyed.

“It’s disappointing that becomes the talk of the offseason,” said Stephen Strasburg, the Nationals pitcher who beat Houston twice in the World Series last fall. “Heck, we went out there and beat ’em.

“But I think in a way that’s probably a good thing, because it kind of upsets a lot of us here in the clubhouse, because we did something really special and that gets overshadowed because some guys were cheating. That’s something they’ve got to live with.”

The Nationals were the first team to win four road games in a World Series. Now the feat seems even more astonishing because it happened at Minute Maid Park, which the Astros used as a laboratory for subterfuge while winning a title in 2017.

Did Houston cheat last year, too? Officially, the commissioner’s report made no such finding, but the Nationals are not convinced. Catcher Kurt Suzuki told the Washington Post he heard whistling from the Astros’ dugout during the World Series, just as the New York Yankees claimed in the American

League Championship Series.

The Nationals changed signs furiously in Houston, with each pitcher tucking a card inside his cap that listed five sets of signals.

“They are a good team, for sure, but we thought something was going on,” said starter Patrick Corbin, who won Game 7 in relief. “We didn’t know exactly what it was, but there was a reason we did multiple signs with no one on and mixed them up as best we could. I think if they were doing stuff in ’17 and ’18, they continued it into ’19. They didn’t have any punishment.”

Now the Astros have been punished — with the loss of draft picks, a $5 million fine, and suspensions for general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch, who were then fired by owner Jim Crane. But the players avoided discipline altogether, and their apologies Thursday largely rang hollow to

Minor leagues: Raises shouldn’t cause contraction NEW YORK — Minor League Baseball says planned salary raises for its players in 2021 paid by Major League Baseball should not lead to contraction, and it has sent a proposal to MLB as part of negotiations for a new agreement.

The commissioner’s o∞ce sent a memo to all 30 teams Friday announcing wage bumps for minor league players between 38 percent and 72 percent.

The raises come as MLB is negotiating with the National Association of Professional Baseball

their peers.

Mike Rizzo, the Nationals’ general manager, was especially bothered that Crane would not admit his team had cheated in 2017. Crane acknowledged that the Astros “broke the rules” but refused to use the more emphatic synonym.

“Somebody’s got to say the word over there: cheated,” Rizzo said. “That’s important to me.”

Rizzo clearly noticed the contrast in attention Thursday, when his pitchers and catchers practiced for the first time as champions. He saw lots of Nationals players but few national reporters — yet the Astros’ side was bustling.

“Opening day 2020, there’s 50 media people here and 47 were at the Houston Astros, who cheated to win a World Series, and there were three of them here with the current, reigning world champions,” Rizzo said.

“And that’s not right.”

Leagues, the governing body of the minors, to replace the Professional Baseball Agreement that expires after the 2020 seasons. MLB proposed cutting 42 of the 160 required a∞liated teams during those talks, a plan criticized by minor league team owners, fans and politicians.

MiLB said in a statement Saturday it “fully supports MLB’s decision to raise the pay rates for players in a∞liated Minor League Baseball” but added it “believes MLB can a≠ord these salary increases without reducing the number of players by 25 percent.

Robbie O’Han was supposed to spend his last year of organized basketball playing mostly against prep schools and junior colleges.

Instead he got called up to one of the most storied teams in college hoops, the North Carolina Tar Heels, after spending three seasons with its junior varsity team, whose very existence is unknown to a majority of fans.

The Tar Heels are one of only a few universities to maintain a JV team, a hierarchy far more common in American high schools than in Division I, where the best programs mostly run single teams made up of scholarship recruits, top players with NBA aspirations and a few walk-ons.

In September, O’Han got an irresistible offer to move up the chain from Hubert Davis, an assistant coach with the Tar Heels. The main team was down to one healthy point guard, Cole Anthony, and needed another before the season started in November.

“I was going to have three weeks to practice with the team and then they were going to decide if they wanted me to stay on the team or go back down to JV,” O’Han said.

“And they decided to keep me.”

Since being called up, O’Han, 21, who is 6-feet, 3-inches tall, has played in eight games. He has a total stat line of one rebound, one steal, one turnover and one foul, with eight minutes played. When he entered a 94-71 victory over Miami on Jan. 25, O’Han was greeted with a raucous round of applause from the home crowd and a mention from the ESPN announcers.

“I was just focused on going in and I was so excited that we were winning by 30,” O’Han said. “We really needed the win, so I didn’t really notice what the fans were doing, but afterward people were telling me that the fans were going crazy, so that was definitely cool to hear.”

Though rare in college basketball, the JV team has been something of a pipeline for

North Carolina. O’Han is one of two former JV players on the roster, along with Caleb Ellis, a graduate student who played in 19 games last season for the school’s primary team.

The NCAA does not keep track of JV teams nationally, and North Carolina is the only school in the Atlantic Coast Conference with one. Only a handful of Division I universities have a JV team.

The JV team at North Carolina began as a freshman team, at a time when scholarship freshmen were not allowed to play during their first year under NCAA rules.

That changed in 1972, but North Carolina coach Dean Smith kept the JV team to give regular students a chance to be around North Carolina basketball while also letting potential walk-ons learn the varsity system.

When the rules changed, most other universities across the nation disbanded their freshman teams. Kansas once had one that was coached for eight seasons by North Carolina’s coach, Roy Williams. The team has since disbanded, but it was also led previously by Kentucky coach John Calipari and Maryland coach Mark Turgeon.

The JV team plays nearly all of its games in the Dean Smith Center, attracting maybe a few hundred fans about three hours before the varsity team packs the nearly 22,000-seat arena.

“You got great seats, everybody’s at center floor,” said O’Han’s father, Rob O’Han Sr. “You can hear everything.”

The team plays a mix of teams from community colleges and other JV programs, and prep schools filled with players who are just out of high school and looking to focus their development in the sport.

Under head coach Brad Frederick, an assistant coach for Williams, the North Carolina JV team is 7-4.

“We play the prep schools and we try to keep it close but we usually get beat,” O’Han said after watching a recent game that was part of a threegame losing streak to prep schools. “But those are always the most fun games because we get to compete at a higher level.”

Girl beats transgender athlete in Connecticut high school race NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A female high school student defeated a transgender athlete in a Connecticut state championship race, just two days after a lawsuit was filed in an e≠ort to block transgender athletes from participating in girls sports in the state.

The families of Mitchell and two other female runners filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday, arguing that allowing athletes with male anatomy to compete has deprived them of track titles and scholarship opportunities.

The lawsuit centers on Miller and another

at him after high school as ‘the guy.’ He’s constantly had to fight for that recognition and fight for a spot. He always knew the next challenge was going to be bigger.”

Cardale Jones is already the unquestioned face of the XFL in Ohio, with Cleveland and Columbus ranking second and third behind Seattle in TV ratings for the Feb. 8 opener on ABC. (Washington ranked fifth.) Jones, Sprinkle and cornerback Doran Grant give the Defenders three former Buckeyes, and there are no XFL franchises in Ohio.

“I’m shocked that [Cleveland and Columbus] weren’t one and two,” cracked Jones, who received his degree from Ohio State in 2017.

After the Feb. 8 game, Jones said he heard from a number of his former college and pro teammates, including Tyvis Powell, Raekwon McMillan, Barrett and Super Bowl champion Frank Clark. Singer-songwriter John Legend, a die-hard Ohio State fan, tuned in for Jones’ XFL debut, too.

“I ain’t mad at this XFL action,” Legend tweeted to his 13.3 million followers. “I’ll be rooting for champion Buckeye QB @ CJ1two.”

The XFL could prove to be a good fit for the 6-foot-5, 264-pound Jones, who has the opportunity to get game experience that he wouldn’t on an NFL practice squad and perhaps earn another opportunity in that league.

He also has a built-in following; his 1.6 million Twitter followers, for example, are nearly 10 times the number of Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who also played at Ohio State.

“Cardale wanted a place to show what he could do,” Ward said. “The XFL needs players who can do things other people can’t. Nothing against Landry Jones, but Cardale is the kind of person that can elevate your league. He has such a remarkable story, and the personality and athleticism to match it. If the XFL is going to be a success, you need people like that who fans are invested in, and I think that’s true not just in Columbus or Cleveland.”

The two seniors have combined to win 15 girls state indoor or outdoor championships since 2017, according to the lawsuit.

Mitchell also won the long jump and the 300meter dash, which Miller came in 16th.

The agent for Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph says Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett opened himself up for potential legal action after reiterating his claim that Rudolph used a racial slur shortly before their infamous brawl in November.

During an interview with ESPN, his first since being hit with a suspension after slugging Rudolph in the head with Rudolph’s own helmet in the final seconds of a Browns win Nov. 14, Garrett said Rudolph called the defensive end “the N-word.”

Rudolph, as he did when Garrett made the claim while appealing the suspension in November, called the allegation “a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character.” Tim Younger, Rudolph’s agent, went a step further.

Because Garrett conducted the interview in California, Younger said Garrett’s “defamatory statement” has now exposed the former No. 1 pick to “legal liability.”

Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin also came to Rudolph’s defense. Tomlin said he interacted with “a lot” of people within the Browns’ organization in the aftermath of the fight and that no player or coach indicated there was a racial element to the incident.

“In my conversations [with the Browns], I had a lot of sorrow for what transpired,” Tomlin said in a statement.

The NFL said there was no evidence of Rudolph using a slur when it handed out an indefinite

suspension to Garrett, a suspension which ended when he was reinstated last week. Garrett, however, hinted the league may know more that it has revealed.

“Most quarterbacks wear mics in their helmets. He somehow lost his helmet and had to get another one without a Myles Garrett mic,” Garrett told ESPN. “There were guys who were mic’d up near me — near us — during that time who didn’t hear anything. And from what I’ve heard, there have been audio during that game that could have heard something or could not have heard something, but they don’t want to say. So, something was said. I know something was said and whether the NFL wants to acknowledge it, that’s up to them.”

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy referred to the league’s original finding in an email to the Associated Press on Friday.

“As we said at the time the allegation was made, we looked into the matter and found no such evidence,” McCarthy said. “There was no sound recorded from the field during that game. As with every game, there were microphones on the center or interior linemen that help amplify the ambient sound as the quarterbacks were calling signals at the line of scrimmage. But they do not record sound. Microphones are opened from the break of the huddle [or when the center places his hand on the ball in a no-huddle o≠ense] through the snap of the ball.”

Although Garrett insists Rudolph used the slur to provoke, the former No. 1 overall draft pick wants to put the incident behind him.

“But I don’t want to make it a racial thing, honestly,” he said. “It’s over with for me and I am pretty sure it’s over with for Mason, so we just move past that and keep on playing football.”

McIlroy, Scott, Kuchar share lead at Riviera; Woods falters

By Doug Ferguson Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Put together the best field of the year on a course players regard as one of the ultimate tests, and the result is a final round at Riviera loaded with possibilities.

Rory McIlroy kept patient through some missed opportunities by making enough birdies for a 3-under 68. Adam Scott, motivated to get a victory at Riviera that the PGA Tour counts, rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole Saturday for a 67. Matt Kuchar recovered from three bogeys in a four-hole stretch to make one last birdie for a 70.

They were tied for the lead at the Genesis Invitational.

Within striking distance was Dustin Johnson, who overwhelmed Riviera in 2017 for a five-shot victory that could have been more, finished birdie-eagle-par for a 67 and was two shots behind.

Sixteen players were separated by four shots with 18 holes to play.

“I think you just have to worry about yourself, concentrate on what you’re doing, do it well, set yourself a target, don’t think about anyone else,” McIlroy said. “And you know, if that’s good enough at the end of the day, then great. If not, then someone just played better than you and hats o≠ to them.”

McIlroy returned to No. 1 in the world last week and is playing as though he plans to stay there. This was his 17th time in

Kuchar has led since a 64 in the opening round, and now he shares it with McIlroy and Scott, two players who have won majors and reached No. 1 in the world.

They were at 10-under 203.

Missing from the mix was Tiger Woods, who went the other direction, and quickly. He shot 41 on the back nine and held it steady from there for a 76 to wind up 15 shots behind.

“Well, that was a lot of shots ... and it was a long day,” Woods said.

This is his first competition in some two months, dating to his victory in the Australian PGA Championship three days before Christmas. “I almost feel like I know what I’m doing after 20 years of having a season and having a break and coming back out,” Scott said. “I know what this course kind of demands of you. It’s not necessarily the easiest course to show up, but I was in a good place finishing last year, too, so I think I managed that well.”

Crowded runs put ski industry on defensive

By Christopher Steiner New York Times

Late last year, the Crystal Mountain Resort announced it would no longer sell ski-lift tickets at its windows on weekends, a startling move in an industry that has historically sought volume and the high margin returns from single-day lift ticket sales.

The resort, in the shadow of Washington’s Mount Rainier, has been plagued this season with overfilled parking lots, long lift lines and mountain roads choked with skier vehicles. The crowds were brought on by a cycle of big storms, yes, but also the crush of skiers who hold Ikon Passes, which grant riding privileges at Crystal all season long.

“It’s a very imperfect science, pairing demand with snow and terrain,” said Rusty Gregory, chief executive of Denver-based Alterra Mountain Co., which owns Crystal. “Each resort has to do what’s right for its conditions and its skiers.”

Crystal, which will continue honoring Ikon passes and lift

TEGRA STONE NUESS/NEW YORK TIMES

People wait in line for the Mount Rainier Gondola at Crystal Mountain Resort in Enumclaw, Wash. The recent introduction of multi-resort passes have pushed more skiers to more places.

tickets that have been purchased in advance, is not an outlier. The recent introduction of multiresort passes have pushed more skiers to more places, making oncesleepy mountains more crowded.

Resorts that are within driving distance of major metropolitan areas, in particular, are coping

with powder day throngs not seen before.

Private-equity-backed Alterra kindled an intense round of consolidation among ski resorts when it was formed in 2018 as a rival to Vail Resorts, a public company that owns Vail, Whistler-Blackcomb and Park City,

among others. Vail was already selling several forms of its Epic Pass when Alterra introduced the Ikon Pass soon after its formation.

The dueling passes, both backed by large balance sheets and aggressive marketing, ushered in a new age for skiers. The two passes now cover every major ski resort in North America in some form.

Skiers who once may have taken a single trip to Colorado or Utah, plus a weekend or two at a mountain within driving distance, all via single-day lift passes, now find value in multiresort passes that can be fairly comprehensive for as little as $700.

As single lift ticket prices at many resorts now approach $200, passes continue to grow more popular. Vail announced in December it had sold more than 1.2 million passes for this winter, an increase of 22 percent. Alterra doesn’t make its numbers public, but the company said it sold more than 250,000 passes for last winter, and sales for this season, Gregory says, “were up markedly.

The number of pass holders comprises new ground for the ski industry, which must learn how

to deal with crowds popping up in unlikely spots. Eldora Mountain, which was once a quiet local mountain 40 minutes from Boulder, Colo., has been dealing with hordes of skiers since joining the Ikon Pass. The mountain regularly advises carloads of skiers to turn around on weekend days when the parking lots fill up before noon.

Utah’s Alterra-owned Deer Valley halted lift ticket sales five days this winter to keep skier numbers below its target maximum. At the end of last season, Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin, independently owned but then aligned with Vail’s Epic Pass, announced it would depart the alliance because of crowding issues that ranged from overloaded parking lots to cafeterias where open tables had become rare commodities. A-Basin is now aligned with the Ikon Pass, but with more restrictions.

Many skiers plan trips far ahead of time, but there’s a growing number who embrace the freedom of Epic and Ikon and take a wait-and-see approach, sometimes booking lodging just a few days out.

‘Parasite’ shines light on South Korean basement dwellers

By Juwon Park

Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — Kim Da-hye, a 29-year-old South Korean, said moving into a semi-basement apartment was her least-preferred option when she was looking for a new place to live.

But after a rigorous search and a close examination of her finances, she was forced to settle for a “banjiha,” the Korean word for a cramped basement flat.

South Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winning film Parasite has brought banjiha dwellers like Kim to worldwide attention, thanks to its depiction of two families — one living in a semi-basement apartment and

the other in an airy mansion — and the di≠erences in their social status.

In 2015, around 1.9 percent of South Koreans lived in semi-basement apartments, according to data from Statistics Korea. It’s an a≠ordable choice for urban dwellers in Seoul, one of the most expensive cities in Asia. The apartments, which are often cramped and sometimes squalid, generally cost between $210 and $500 a month with a hefty deposit.

Kim, who moved into her $211-a-month banjiha apartment after leaving her job to take care of her mother, is no fan of her current accommodations, which flood during the rainy season.

“During one summer, I left the house with the window

open,” she said. “When I came back, there was water all over and the walls were wet.”

Prior to moving in, she was very concerned about the apartment’s toilet, which sits much higher than the floor in order to prevent flooding. “My bathroom has stairs just like that place,” Kim said, referring to the basement toilet in the film that spews out filthy sludge during a flood that destroys the house.

She said she has mixed feelings about the film despite sharing her name — Da-hye — with the daughter of the a±uent family.

“I felt a bit bitter because (the movie) had moments I could totally relate to. I had mixed feelings because it didn’t feel like someone else’s story.”

AHN YOUNG-JOON/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kim Da-hye talks about her semi-basement apartment Saturday in Seoul, South Korea. For many South Koreans, the image of a cramped basement apartment portrayed in the Oscar-winning film Parasite rings true, bringing differences in their social status to worldwide attention.

Where are the bargains?

Local Realtors agree it’s tough for prospective buyers in strong seller’s market with slim inventory

By Ronda Kaysen New York Times

T

here comes a moment every winter when reality sinks in that the cold, dark days and long nights are nowhere near over.

That moment, reader, is upon us.

But rather than grind through the dreariness, perhaps it’s time to celebrate or surrender to it and turn your space into a cozy cabin. Winter enthusiasts insist that with the right mix of candles, mirrors, blankets and hot tea, hunkering down can be downright blissful.

You’re not a recluse, you’re embracing hygge, the Danish cultural outlook that likens life to a favorite woolen sweater, minus the itchy collar.

“There is no getting around winter,” said Meik Wiking, author of The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living and the chief executive of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, a city where the sun currently sets around 4:40 p.m. “The only natural resource we have in abundance here is darkness. So it’s just something you have to embrace.”

Coziness is as much a state of mind as it is a collection of soft throw blankets. There’s an art to it, at least among those who do it with gusto.

“No matter what we’re going through politically, socially, culturally or economically,” Laura Weir, the author of Cosy: The British Art of Comfort, told me from her home in London, “the fundamental cornerstones of the British Isles are literally putting the kettle on, putting on the fire, or having a bowl of stew.”

Embrace the clutter While minimalism may be the current design trend, coziness is the antidote. Call it the anti-Kondo method. Why recycle the newspapers when you can stack two weeks’ worth by the fireplace and read them until you use them as kindling?

You might be able to find a ‘bargain’ home if you find one with deferred-maintenance issues but no structural problems. But on the city’s east side, the location factor alone demands higher prices. ‘The best way to look at it is that you’re going to be paying market [value], a fair price,’ says Realtor Paul Duran, who has this home at 517 Armijo St. listed for $800,000.

For Santa Fe, codes are everything

T

he dry world of building codes recently experienced something akin to the space object smacking Earth and wiping out dinosaurs.

In this case, the dinosaurs had been working to slow energy code advancements at the national level over the past 30 years.

It was back then that codes got political. They began attracting the attention of early environmentalists who recognized the built environment as a huge contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. The 1992 Model Energy Code, the first of its kind and used by Santa Fe for years, was a simple prescriptive list of things you had to do. Many questioned why.

Until then, codes had only Kim been about life, health and safety. Period. Not about saving Shanahan Building Santa Fe the planet. But the gloves came o≠, and the National Association of Home Builders began a never-ending task to preserve the status quo and resist energy code changes that come up for consideration and votes every three years.

They also began the balancing act of becoming experts on building science — including pursuits at the cutting edge of energy e∞ciency and green Please see story on Page E-2

re you looking for a real bargain in real estate? Unfortunately, this is not exactly bargain-hunting time.

We heard the same thing from three experienced Realtors.

“This is a strong seller’s market and there’s no inventory,” said Paul Duran of Keller Williams Santa Fe. “It’s not like 2010.

“When you get a call from someone who says, ‘I’m looking for a bargain,’ that immediately says he’s looking for a distressed sale — a property that’s in foreclosure — and there are very few of those now.”

You might get closer to a bargain if you zero in on a house with identified deferred-maintenance issues, such as imperfect stucco. As long as there are no structural problems that require attention, you can get a pretty good deal.

But don’t expect anything like that on the east side, where the location factor alone demands higher prices.

Interest rates are very low right now, which helps you buy more than you could five or six years ago, Duran said. But it’s hard to get something below the appraised value because there are so many people looking to buy because of the low rates. That just adds more steam to the seller’s market.

When you go see a Realtor and there’s nothing in your price range, you’re put on the “drip system,” which is an instant-notification system. The agent programs the system based on clients’ criteria, such as an acceptable price range and house size, and then as soon as something comes on the market, he or she is notified automatically.

“If I had a listing like that, I’d probably have

10 or 15 showings within 24 hours,” Duran said.

For new midrange homes, he recommended Rancho Viejo as a good deal. “That’s a great buy out there. In today’s market, I’d say it’s a bargain.

“The best way to look at it is that you’re going to be paying market [value], a fair price. Everybody wins. A bargain means somebody’s losing.”

Beverly Chapman, the head broker at Coldwell Banker Trails West Realty, said the lopsided seller’s market is a problem not only in Santa Fe but in Albuquerque.

The inventory of homes for sale in the Duke City, where the median price is about $225,000, declined by 37 percent from January 2019 to January 2020.

In the Santa Fe market, where the median price is over $450,000, inventory has been sliding for more than a decade. The number of available homes slipped another 33 percent from the fourth quarter of 2018 to fourth quarter of 2019.

Why don’t homebuilders fill that gap?

building — while also arguing such achievements should never be code adopted and only be employed if markets (i.e., consumers) demand them.

Former Mayor David Coss signed Santa Fe on to the idea buildings should be net-zero energy by 2030. It was a concept backed by the Obama administration and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. That led to our own local codes, which are far more stringent than national mandates and the first of their kind in the country.

Santa Fe chose to abandon the tried-and-true prescriptive path of codes that mandated specifics. Instead, the city chose a performance path that simply required a home to reach a score of e∞ciency, based on a zero-to-100 scale. That mark was

established by the Home Energy Rating System.

In Santa Fe, the required rating is 60, which is 40 percent better than homes built just a decade ago. The score is verified by paid experts who analyze plans and inspect the home during construction. Code enforcement is not done by city inspectors, although city sta≠ does assure the quality of the certified energy raters.

The beauty of that simplicity, even though it cost a little more for the rating, is that it doesn’t hinder architecture or design.

It encourages the creativity of a builder to do trade-o≠s between the shell of the building and high-e∞ciency equipment. You want more glass and skylights than normal? OK, then increase the e∞ciency of the furnace and add tons of insulation.

At the national level, energy codes are debated at hearings where anyone is invited. Hundreds of people of every political stripe show up to advocate or

resist. Consensus is achieved and votes are cast by those in attendance.

The resistors historically prevailed. But newer rules allow certain governmental entities to weigh in through an online voting process that can overturn any consensus recommendations made earlier or even bring back ideas roundly rejected at the first instance of consideration.

There are more than 16,000 such potential voters. This year, the Energy E∞cient Codes Coalition organized and registered thousands of those voters and sent them a guide on how to vote, which they did. They smashed the delicate balance of give and take that kept energy codes stagnant for years. The coalition is dancing. The National Association of Home Builders is reeling.

Area rugs can be layered, too.

Caan often uses a sisal rug as a bottom layer with a wool one on top.

“The good thing about the cozy trend is it gives us permission to have possessions and clutter,” Weir said. “It’s almost like an easy out. I don’t want to be a superorganized person because I’m supercozy.”

To do cozy right, be willing to “use your space di≠erently,” said Liz Caan, an interior designer in Newton, Mass. “Sometimes, when I know we’re going to get a snowstorm, I take all the things I’ve wanted to read and put them near the fireplace.”

Designate the co≠ee table or a side table for board games and puzzles. If everyone knows where to go to play Scrabble, a quick round or two just might happen.

Place a sisal rug in the entryway so your bare feet land on a warmer texture as soon as you’ve taken o≠ your shoes, and make sure your slippers are waiting in a basket for you. “Instead of

Consider the textures Just as you layer clothes to go outside on a cold day, a home should be layered, too, so it feels like a space that might envelope you. Natural fibers and fabrics like mohair, leather, wool and wood are inviting. Synthetics, not so much.

“You can immediately look at something synthetic, and it’s not going to hug you back because it’s made of plastic,” Caan said.

Natural materials tend to age well, gaining character over time.

A space need not feel dark, heavy or kitsch to seem cozy.

Caan recently designed a house for a client who wanted a cozy space. But the house had high ceilings and large windows, and the client preferred a light-gray color palette, not necessarily an ideal recipe for what might be homey. To achieve the look, “we used wood, we used cashmere, we used alpaca,” Caan sad. “All these things are light, but you

Layers of light Lighting sets the mood, and to achieve a sultry one, you need dimension. Use a mix of sources: floor lamps, table lamps, sconces and overheads. Set fixtures to dimmers and choose bulbs with warm hues. Avoid fixtures with exposed bulbs, as those can be harsh to the eye. Consider the shade cover, too.

“A paper shade is really good,” said Michael Amato, creative director of Urban Electric Co. in Charleston, S.C. “You can either do it so it’s opaque and allows light through, or it’s completely blackened and it allows light from the top and bottom.”

Above all, don’t forget about candles, the mantra of the cozy aesthetic. Tapered ones on the dining table. Scented ones in the bedroom and bathrooms. Votives scattered on surfaces throughout.

Set out the candelabra at dinnertime, and you might be tempted to linger longer.

“So many builders went out [of business] in the recession,” said Chapman, whose brother Mike Chapman ran the family homebuilding company. The supply of laborers also took a dive, many having to move to larger cities during the slump.

“Chapman Homes made it through the downturn, but after it took three and a half years to do the 46 homes in Plazas at Pecos Trail, Mike wasn’t willing to go through all the rigamarole with the city and the neighborhoods to do it again,” she said.

There’s another wrinkle in the “bargain” void: A homeowner may be willing to sell and open up that listing, but where is he going to go if he wants something else in the same price range? “There’s no bargain for him to buy,” Chapman said.

“That’s a stifling problem also.

“If you’re looking for a bargain right now, I think you have to regroup, you have to redo your thinking and know you’re going to have to spend a little more. You’re more likely to find a bargain in land or in the commercial market than in residential homes.”

Chuck McKinley of Sotheby’s International Realty said, “It’s just the wrong time. The problem was with the concept of getting a bargain, when you’re the average buyer, presumably looking under $500,000, is that you have to have access to inventory and the consumer doesn’t have that.”

You might see something on Zillow.com or other online sites, but by the time you act, it’ll be gone.

“The feed is very fast. It goes from Realtor.com, which is fed directly from our MLS database, and then out to the aggregators.

We had a $650,000 house that had 30 showings in a period of three days.”

McKinley emphasized that a “bargain” indicates that you paid less than market value, “and that doesn’t happen in this market.”

The paucity of available homes midrange and under is more profound because of the number of people coming to Northern New Mexico. All three Realtors mentioned the fires in California and the cold winters in the East.

“We have this inventory problem,” McKinley said, “and then you include our quality of living and weather issues in other parts of the United States, and Santa Fe is very attractive.”

The pressure’s on.

TIME OUT HOROSCOPE HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 16, 2020: This year, you might struggle with some confusion, especially surrounding your finances. You will learn to create a tighter base with money. You have an unusual number of friends who help point you in the correct direction, but their opinions will vary. If single, you break a pattern and date different types of people. If attached, the two of you work together to manifest a long-term desire. SAGITTARIUS always has a new idea. It is up to you to determine whether it is a good one.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Feelings might be more intense than you realize. You think in terms of change or creating more stability than you’ve had in the recent past. Events in the next few weeks could define areas that need attention.

Tonight: Say little and observe a lot.

This Week: You might not immediately see the results of hard work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ What you had written off as a no-go easily could become a possibility once more if given

patience and time. A friend might reveal some significant information that needs to be reviewed. Tonight: Avoid impulsive behavior.

This Week: Do not lose sight of priorities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ You cannot handle any matter quickly at present. You need to verify you have all your “I’s” dotted and “T’s” crossed. Somehow you might notice a matter that needs completion. Do not push an authority figure too hard at the moment. Tonight: Allow yourself to be persuaded.

This Week: Others push and shove to have their way. Let them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You have a style that often takes others by surprise. Your ability to cast doubt on what might be a firm agreement proves significant. You might need to discuss the different factors with those involved. Tonight: Note how opinions change quickly.

This Week: Others explore ideas with you, but ultimately you might have little say in the outcome.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Your creativity is ignited when you see an issue emerge. Use care as to how quickly you patch it up. You want the matter resolved, but in order to succeed, you need to slow down and work with each possibility.

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER

Tonight: Get together with a fun person.

This Week: Defer to others, knowing when you need to add a more practical comment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Defer to others, but know that getting an agreement might be close to impossible. Given time and thought, priorities will change. Tonight: Go along with another person’s plans.

This Week: The only answer is yes, but recognize how much you will need to let go.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ You have so much to do that you might feel as if you cannot accomplish what you need to.

Slow down. Remember, a job well-done is more important than a sloppy one. Take a long walk or join a friend. Tonight: Refuse to intensely focus on any one matter at present.

This Week: Others seek greater say and influence. You will react with strong feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ You have the imagination, intellect and will to harness an idea and see if it serves your purpose. In several weeks, your opinions could radically change.

A child or new friend might reveal an important piece of information. Tonight: Paint the town red.

This Week: Honor a fast change of perspective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ You could feel ill at ease with some information you hear. You might try out what you heard on

KENKEN

the same person who delivered the news. His or her reaction will determine if you need to make a correction. Tonight: Make your home your castle right now.

This Week: Eye the financial consequences of a decision before giving the go-ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ Speak your mind and follow through on what you deem significant. Your fatigue at recent events, bits of information and general hearsay becomes evident. Do not participate in what is happening. Tonight: Meet up with friends at a favorite spot.

This Week: Reach out for a loved one at a distance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Zero in on your priorities, and do not allow finances to stop you in your tracks. Your ability to resolve a problem goes past the mundane and involves a general perspective of different facets of the issue. Tonight: Hook up with friends.

This Week: Toward Thursday, you will feel good about what you have accomplished.

Know that you remain on shaky ground.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You might not mean to add to the present level of confusion, but you do. Loosen up and share your feelings, knowing that they could change. Be willing to take charge of a project. Bring family and friends together. Tonight: In the limelight.

This Week: You might not feel grounded or sure of yourself. Do not worry. You will get there.

Rules • Each row and each column must contain the numbers 1 through 6 without repeating.

• The numbers within the heavily outlines boxes, called cages, must combine using the given operation (in any order) to produce the target numbers in the top-left corners.

NEW YORK TIMES SUNDAY CROSSWORD

Canutito learns about ‘los colores sagrados’

¡A

i qué día tan ventoso! The wind had been howling about all day. La temperatura había caído and people every where traiban sueras puestas. Bundled up in their sweaters, todos tried to shield themselves del viento. Las hojas en los árboles were starting to turn a shade of gold y algunas were even blowing off the trees. Canutito came home de la escuela temblando de frío. He was shivering porque he had forgotten su sueras en casa.

As he approached la casa, Canutito vio que Grama Cuca was outside pintando los marcos de las ventanas. He had never seen grama painting the windows frames.

She was painting them de color azul. The windows looked pretty in blue. Canutito asked her, “Grama, ¿por qué decidió pintar los marcos de las ventanas blue?”

“Oh hi, m’hijo,” Grama Cuca said, looking up. “A mí me gusta el color azul. It is Larry Torres the color del cielo y del manto de la Virgen Growing up María. Hoy, que hay mucho viento I was Spanglish thinking about it. A veces el viento brings a lot of evil pero si los marcos de las ventanas y las puertas are painted azules, the blue color stops a las cosas malas from flying into the house.

El color azul is sacred y destierra a las cosas malas.”

Canutito watched mientras que Grama Cuca was painting around las ventanas. He asked her, is blue el único color sagrado that keeps away todas las cosas malas?”

Actually, the color red is also used para quitar las cosas malas.

En los ancient days de la Biblia, cuando los Hebrews eran slaves de los Egyptians, ellos pintaban sus puertas coloradas with the blood of a lamb to keep away al ángel de la muerte.”

“De manera que both red and blue son colores sagrados, grama?” Canutito prodded her. “What did people used to do más antes cuando no tenían sangre de un borrego to drive away evil?”

“Pues, a veces they used to were corales on their bodies,” grama said. “¿Qué son ‘corales’, grama?” Canutito asked her.

“It is a red mineral stone que se forma en el agua, m’hijo,” grama replied. El agua is also sacred porque San Juan Bautista baptized a Jesús in it de manera que anything formed in water también es sagrada y quita las cosas malas.”

“Todo el tiempo que Grama Cuca was painting and talking, Canutito estaba pensando en algo. “Grama,” he began, “Ayer en la plaza I saw a un baby wearing una bracelet made of turquoise and coral. Does that mean algo?”

“Sí, m’hijo,” grama said. “Sometimes mothers put pulseras de turquesa y coral en las wrists de sus niños in order to keep away el ojo malo from them.”

“What is ‘el ojo malo’, grama?” Canutito prodded.

“It is ‘the evil eye,’ m’hijo,” grama replied. “A veces evil people como las brujas o los demonios can cast el ojo malo en alguna personas and bring about great harm en ellas. A veces some people believe que el ojo malo flies en el viento y entra en la casas que no están protected con el color azul o el color colorão.”

“How would you cure a una persona que no está protegida del ojo malo, grama?

“You have to bring a la persona who gave them el ojo malo and they have to take unas gotas de agua en la boca y escupirlas into the mouth of the injured person.”

“I don’t I want anyone spitting drops of water into my mouth,” Canutito said. “I think que if I am ever being chased por una bruja o por un demonio, I would find the nearest acequia and I would run right into the middle of it donde no me pueden tocar porque the water está sagrada.”

“That might be a nice, temporary solution, m’hijo,” Grama Cuca said. Pero even en el agua, you would still be in danger porque entonces La Llorona might grab you.”

“Damned if I do y también damned if I don’t,” Canutito murmured …
