A push among state lawmakers to convene an extraordinary session to override Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s veto of a $50 million bill gained traction Thursday, creating a possible political liability for the incumbent Democrat as she campaigns for a second term.

IN BRIEF Fuel price hikes to hit shippers, truckers across U.S. economy Soaring U.S. energy prices are hitting all modes of transport, squeezing smaller shipping lines amid already-volatile ocean rates, as well as truckers who have to contend with delays in clawing back higher costs.

Crude surged to the highest level in almost 14 years this week after the U.S. and the U.K. said they will ban Russian oil imports as President Vladimir Putin continues with his invasion of Ukraine. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline climbed to a record Wednesday just as Americans are already paying higher prices on household products.

Small- and medium sized-importers that are already squeezed by sky-high trans-oceanic shipping rates could get hit especially hard by the energy-price spike, said Lars Jensen, chief executive officer of Copenhagen-based Vespucci Maritime, a shipping market-analysis firm.

For trucking fleets — which move 70 percent of the nation’s freight tonnage — the sudden jump in prices is set to hurt smaller operators who have to cover the extra fuel cost on the spot and wait for surcharges to be reimbursed, American Trucking Association Chief Economist Bob Costello said.

Report: Security lapses in Kenya led to deaths of three Americans WASHINGTON — A series of security lapses and an “inadequate focus” on threats on the ground helped lead to a deadly assault on a sprawling military base in Kenya in 2020 that killed three Americans, a Pentagon investigation has concluded.

The inquiry, led by the United States Africa Command, also found what the head of the command described as “shortcomings” in the sharing of intelligence and deficiencies in the preparation of security forces charged with guarding the base.

The report found that “certain senior officers contributed to the inadequate force protection posture at Manda Bay, and allowed a climate of complacency and poor understanding of the threat.” Eight officers and enlisted personnel were disciplined for their actions or their failure to act, the Air Force said. A spokesperson for the service declined to describe the punishments or the fate of those personnel.

Actor Smollett sentenced to 150 days in jail in fake attack CHICAGO — A judge sentenced Jussie Smollett to 150 days in jail Thursday, branding the Black and gay actor a charlatan for staging a hate crime against himself while the nation struggled with wrenching issues of racial injustice.

Smollett responded by defiantly maintaining his innocence and suggesting he could be killed in jail before being led from the courtroom.

The sentence and Smollett’s post-hearing outburst capped an hourslong hearing and more than three years of legal drama following Smollett’s claim that he had been the target of a racist and homophobic attack that drew sympathy soon followed by scorn for the former star of the TV show Empire.

S.

Yoon, a conservative whose single five-year term begins in May, said during the campaign he would make a stronger alliance with the United States the center of his foreign policy. He accused outgoing liberal President Moon Jae-in of tilting toward North Korea and China and away from the U.S. He also stressed a need to recognize the strategic importance of repairing ties with Japan despite a bitter dispute over wartime history.

HEIDI LEVINE/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

The Kyiv-Classic Symphony Orchestra performs Wednesday on Maidan Square in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Kyiv’s orchestra plays on amid war In act of defiance, musicians perform in city’s central square

By Sudarsan Raghavan Washington Post

KYIV, Ukraine he war with Russia broke up the orchestra. More than half of its musicians fled the capital. And with that, the music died.

The ensemble was part of the Ukrainian National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music, whose development was helped by the famed composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. He often visited Kyiv in the 19th century when Ukraine was ruled by Russia’s czars. During World War II, the conservatory’s buildings were leveled.

In this conflict, the musicians who remained in Kyiv have endured shells and missiles landing close to their homes, nights hiding in underground bunkers, waiting in long lines to stock up on food and medicine. Many remain split apart from their relatives elsewhere in Ukraine, including some behind Russian lines.

They played their instruments inside their homes or in their basements as explosions reverberated in the streets above, keeping ready for the moment they could play together as an orchestra again.

That day arrived Wednesday. The very site of the outdoor concert by the Kyiv-Classic Symphony Orchestra symbolized the defiance: Kyiv’s central square, Maidan, the focal point of revolutions including one in 2014 that ousted a pro-Moscow president and helped define Ukraine’s Western political path.

And the musicians, bundled up in thick coats and jackets, played outdoors despite the constant threat of missiles or bombs falling.

“We are showing our strength through music,” said Louri Loutsenko, a senior adviser to the academy’s president.

As the war enters its third week, the 25-minute concert in freezing weather, and nationally televised, was the latest example of a cohesive resistance against Russia — one that has attracted tens of thousands of civilians to join civilian militias or help support Ukraine in other ways.

“This event is to show the entire world that we are not afraid to have this concert in the heart of Kyiv,” said Loutsenko. “We play it under the open sky.”

As in wars of the past in other parts of the world, music and poetry have become an integral part of the fight — used in Ukraine for recruitment, to soothe loss and comfort fear, to remember and to stir patriotism. Military chaplains sing hymns during sermons at suspected airstrike sites. At funerals for soldiers, pastors deliver melodic prayers. And on social

T

media, viral videos include a Ukrainian soldier singing a Ukrainian folk song to a hip-hop beat and a young woman hauntingly playing “What a Wonderful World” at Lviv’s train station.

The musicians at the square performed even as their academy has been gripped by loss, fear and uncertainty. Two students, a Ukrainian and a Chinese national, were killed in the Russian bombardment of Kharkiv, the country’s second-large city, said Maksym Tymoshenko, the academy’s president.

Roughly 50 students and junior staff, he added, remain inside the academy’s dormitory, waiting out the war in their rooms or the basement when the air raid sirens go off.

“Some have lost contact with their families, who are in places like Bucha, Iprin and Hostomel, where the worst fighting is taking place,” said Tymoshenko. “They don’t know if their homes still exist. So it’s safer to stay in Kyiv than go anywhere else.”

When asked whether the orchestra would play compositions of Tchaikovsky in the square, conductor Herman Makarenko shook his head. “We don’t have enough musicians,” he explained, adding that, in any case, the ensemble wanted to play Ukrainian music.

For decades, Ukrainians have cringed as Russians embraced Tchaikovsky as their own.

Ukrainians argue the great composer saw himself as Ukrainian and spent many years visiting Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine.

“Our eastern neighbor says Ukraine hasn’t any culture,” said Makarenko, who was dressed all in black. “We would like to show we have culture, one of the best in the world.”

Shortly after 1 p.m., the 20 musicians gathered in the square with their violins, flutes, clarinets and other classical instruments.

Makarenko stood before them clutching his conductor’s wand.

A crowd of about 100 people also gathered, mostly journalists wearing flak vests and holding cameras and phones. About 25 Ukrainians were among them, some clutching the nation’s blue and yellow flag. The explosions in and around the center of the city had subsided in recent days, but most Ukrainians still worried about spending too much time in open areas.

The concert began with an uplifting Ukrainian composition. Makareno was waving his wand rapidly, providing the rhythm to the ensemble, some wearing winter beanies.

Ukraine’s national anthem came soon after, and people swayed their flags. Also played was Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” and “Lileya,” a ballad

edented challenges of 2020,” he said in a statement. “But the results also include some limitations; the 2020 census undercounted many of the same population groups we have historically undercounted, and it overcounted others.”

The U.S. population total of 323.2 million was up 5 percent from the last census in 2010.

“We remain proud of the job we accomplished in the face of immense challenges,” Santos said. “And we are ready to work with the stakeholders and the public to fully leverage this

enormously valuable resource.”

Terri Ann Lowenthal, a leading expert on the census and consultant to governments and others with a stake in the count, called the results “troubling but not entirely surprising.”

“Overall, the results are less accurate than in 2010,” she said.

By the bureau’s estimates, the 2020 tally incorrectly counted 18.8 million residents, double-counting some, wrongly including others and missing others entirely, even as it came extremely close to reaching an accurate count of the overall population.

WASHINGTON — Propelled by surging costs for gas, food and housing, consumer inflation jumped 7.9 percent over the past year, the sharpest spike since 1982 and likely only a harbinger of even higher prices to come.

The increase reported Thursday by the Labor Department reflected the 12 months ending in February and didn’t include the oil and gas price surges that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. Since then, average gas prices nationally have jumped about 62 cents a gallon to $4.32, according to AAA. Even before the war further accelerated price increases, robust consumer spending, solid pay raises and persistent supply shortages had sent U.S. inflation to its highest level in 40 years. What’s more, housing costs, which make up about a third of the government’s consumer price index, have risen sharply, a trend that’s unlikely to reverse anytime soon.

“The numbers are eye-watering, and there is more to come,” said Eric Winograd, senior economist at asset management firm AllianceBernstein. “The peak in inflation will be much higher than previously thought and will arrive later than previously expected.”

The government’s report Thursday showed that from January to February, inflation rose 0.8 percent, up from a 0.6 percent increase from December to January. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, so-called core prices rose a sharp 0.5 percent month to month and 6.4 percent from a year earlier. Economists tend to monitor core prices because they more closely reflect longer-running inflation trends.

For most Americans, inflation is running far ahead of the pay raises that many have received in the past year, making it harder for them to afford necessities like food, gas and rent. As a consequence, inflation has become the top political threat to President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats as the midterm elections draw closer.

Small-business people say in surveys it’s their primary economic concern, too.

Seeking to stem the inflation surge, the Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates several times this year, beginning with a quarter-point hike next week. The Fed faces a delicate challenge, though: If it tightens credit too aggressively this year, it risks undercutting the economy and possibly triggering a recession.

From January to February, nearly every category of goods and services got pricier. Grocery costs jumped 1.4 percent, the sharpest one-month increase since 1990, other than during a pandemic-induced price surge two years ago. The collective price of fruits and vegetables rose 2.3 percent, the largest monthly increase since 2010.

Gas prices spiked 6.6 percent, clothing 0.7 percent.

Michelle Lujan Grisham had pushed for a state gas tax increase in the recent legislative session. The governor’s campaign spokeswoman said Ronchetti’s statement was incorrect. Lujan Grisham supported a clean fuel measure that would have raised the price of gasoline in New Mexico, the spokeswoman said, but it would not have increased the state’s gas tax.

Mask rule for traveling extended by one month

By David Koenig and Zeke Miller Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Federal officials are extending the requirement for masks on planes and public transportation for one more month — through midApril — while taking steps that could lead to lifting the rule.

The mask mandate was scheduled to expire March 18, but the Transportation Security Administration said Thursday it will extend the requirement through April 18.

TSA said the extra month will give the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention time to develop new, more targeted policies that will consider the number of cases of COVID-19 nationally and in local communities, and the risk of new variants.

The TSA enforces the rule, which extends to planes, buses, trains and transit hubs.

As of Thursday, more than 98 percent of the U.S. population is living in areas with low or medium COVID-19 case levels, meaning the CDC no longer recommends face masks in public indoor settings.

A decision to eventually scrap the mask requirement — one of the last vestiges of nationwide pandemic rules — has grown more likely in recent weeks as more states, even those led by Democratic governors, relaxed their own mandates for wearing masks indoors, and the CDC eased its recommendations.

That led critics to question why the CDC would allow maskless people to gather in movie theaters and sports arenas but not on planes. The federal mask mandate was imposed in January 2021, days after Biden took office, and has been extended several times.

civil lawsuits. Up to 149,000 people who have struggled with addiction or who lost loved ones to it are due to split $750 million under the settlement.

One after another, victims logged in from Hawaii to New Hampshire on Thursday with accounts of surgeries and illnesses that led to OxyContin prescriptions, followed by dependency, despair, rounds of drug abuse treatment, personal and financial ruin and, all too often, death by overdose or suicide.

Vitaly Pinkusov described waking up to find his 32-year-old wife’s body cold in their bed.

Kristy Nelson played a recording of her frantic 911 call reporting that her son was unresponsive.

Stephanie Lubinski recounted how her husband went into their basement and shot himself in the chest.

Former Purdue president and board chairman Richard Sackler listened by phone, a sore point for some victims who found it disrespectful that he didn’t face them. His son, David Sackler, and another family member, Theresa Sackler, appeared on camera, appearing attentive but showing little reaction.

Experts look to past epidemics for clues on end of COVID-19

By Mike Stobbe Associated Press

NEW YORK — Two years into the coronavirus pandemic, most of the world has seen a dramatic improvement in infections, hospitalizations and death rates in recent weeks, signaling the crisis appears to be winding down. But how will it end? Past epidemics may provide clues.

The ends of epidemics are not as thoroughly researched as their beginnings. But there are recurring themes that could offer lessons for the months ahead, said Erica Charters of the University of Oxford, who studies the issue.

“One thing we have learned is it’s a long, drawn-out process” that includes different types of endings that may not all occur at the same time, she said. That includes a “medical end,” when disease recedes, the “political end,” when government prevention measures cease, and the “social end,” when people move on.

The coronavirus global pandemic has waxed and waned differently in different parts of the world. But in the United States, at least, there is reason to believe the end is near.

About 65 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated, and about

29 percent are both vaccinated and boosted. Cases have been falling for nearly two months, with the U.S. daily average dropping about 40 percent in the last week alone. Hospitalizations also have plummeted nearly 30 percent.

Mask mandates are vanishing — even federal health officials have stopped wearing them — and President Joe Biden has said it’s time for people to return to offices and many aspects of pre-pandemic life.

But this pandemic has been full of surprises, lasting more than two years and causing nearly 1 million deaths in the U.S. and more than 6 million around the world. Its severity has been surprising, in part because many people drew the wrong lesson from a 2009-10 flu pandemic that turned out to be nowhere as deadly as initially feared.

“We got all worried but then nothing happened [in 2009], and I think that was what the expectation was” when COVID19 first emerged, said Kristin Heitman, a Maryland-based researcher who collaborated with Charters.

The World Health Organization in August 2010 declared the flu had moved into a post-pandemic period, with cases and outbreaks moving into customary seasonal patterns.

Shooting victim’s fiancée says, ‘He wasn’t a fighter’ Continued from Page A-1

Both men had stopped their vehicles, according to police, and investigators obtained a bystander’s cellphone video that shows the altercation began when Vigil, 40, pulled Rougemont, 31, out of his vehicle and began punching him, according to an affidavit for a search warrant.

At one point, “Vigil was on top of Rougemont striking him with his fist,” an arrest warrant affidavit says.

“Rougemont drew a firearm from concealment and fired approximately 5 times. Vigil was shot at least once and Rougemont was able to get up and walk backwards to his vehicle.”

Vigil’s death has stunned and perplexed his family, who remember a man who was anything but violent.

“He didn’t carry a weapon, and he wasn’t the type to go fistfighting, even when he was a kid,” said Fairchild, who had been with Vigil since both were teens.

They’d purchased a home and raised her niece and nephew together.

She said she finds it hard to imagine him starting a fight — and even if he did, he almost certainly wasn’t armed, Fairchild said.

“People are saying he got what he deserved, and I’m like no, if he had got out with a gun I could see it maybe, but he didn’t,” she said.

“He probably just wanted to tell [Rougemont] to shape up, I’m assuming. I wish could ask him,” Fairchild added, her voice breaking. “I wish I would have called him or he would have called me.”

Rougemont’s attorney, Jedidiah J. Glazener, declined to comment Thursday.

Prosecutors have filed a court motion to hold Rougemont in jail until trial.

State District Judge T. Glenn Ellington is scheduled to rule on motion Monday.

Vigil’s fiancée and father said they’d heard about Rougemont from Vigil, who’d complained about his co-worker to them.

“Chris told me about this Karl,” Fairchild said. “I’d never met him or seen him, but this started last year. He mentioned to me that Karl was rude with several of the employees. But he is the one who spoke up.”

Fairchild said she believes some of the tension developed during the pandemic because the city had fewer meter readers than normal and shutoff notices had been halted, altering the workflow.

Vigil told his fiancé he suggested Rougemont pitch in reading meters, Fairchild said.

“But Karl threw a fit and said he wasn’t going to do it,” she said.

She said Vigil told her

Rougemont also tried to cut the timecard line where city employees must sign in using their thumbprint.

“Chris told him to get to the back of the line. It was just little things like that,” Fairchild said. “He probably just didn’t like the fact that Chris would tell him no. I’m shocked it led to this because they only saw each other in the morning and after work.”

Vigil had also mentioned his conflict with Rougemont to his father.

“He said he was having trouble with a guy, but I didn’t know who he was,” George Vigil said. “I told him, ‘You be careful, don’t go lose your temper.’ ” Former union President Gilbert Baca told KRQE-TV there were documented complaints regarding the animosity between the two men and said he had counseled Vigil to ask for a transfer to another department.

But City Manager John Blair said Thursday there were no reports in either man’s personnel file regarding the other — and to his knowledge, no written reports of tension anywhere else, either.

“We believe any suggestion from anyone of any motive of what contributed to the incident is at best irresponsible and at worse reckless and dangerous,” Blair said.

“We are continuing to follow our [human resources] policies regarding what we can say about employee and their personnel files,” Blair added. “We support the investigation of state police into this matter and look forward to them making information public regarding the tragic incident.”

As for the staffing issue, Blair said relevant positions in the division in which the men worked dropped from five in November 2019 to four in 2022 due to modernization, but any assertion that staffing was short due to the pandemic is untrue.

Fairchild said the work environment had taken a toll on Vigil.

He would routinely come home and say he’d had a hard day, she said. She worried because he’d been diagnosed with a heart condition five years ago and was supposed to avoid stress.

“I would tell him to stay home and rest, but he was worried because he didn’t want to have issues with his supervisor,” Fairchild said.

Many people in the department were looking for other jobs, she said. But Vigil was only four years from retirement — he’d started working as a janitor for the state shortly after graduating from high school in 2000 and had been with the city since 2005 — and wanted to stick it out.

SENATE BILL 48 APPROPRIATIONS

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham speaks after signing a bill cutting taxes Tuesday in Santa Fe. She has drawn fire from lawmakers for vetoing a $50 million bill filled with pet projects in their districts.

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO THE NEW MEXICAN

Incensed legislators debating override try Continued from Page A-1

when Lujan Grisham unveiled several vetoes, including the junior bill. Since then, Democrats have joined in the push for a veto override.

Rep. Patty Lundstrom, a Gallup Democrat who chairs the influential House Appropriations and Finance Committee, said she was “incredibly disappointed” in the governor’s veto of the junior bill, also known as Senate Bill 48, which passed both chambers unanimously. “Those were all very good projects, both on the House and the Senate side, and I hope we do something about it,” Lundstrom said.

Rep. Derrick Lente, D-Sandia Pueblo, also supports efforts to override the governor’s veto. “I don’t understand why the political fight would want to be taken,” he said.

In a news release, Rep. Roger Montoya, D-Velarde, said the governor’s actions will have “grave and consequential” impacts on seniors; youth; rural and tribal communities; veterans; and nonprofits.

“As an unpaid legislator, my team and I drove thousands of miles over the last year, met with leaders from every community that I represent in District 40 — a district that spans 6,000 square miles — and together we identified programs and needs where junior money would have significant and immediate impacts to enrich the lives of my constituents,” said Montoya, who is facing a conservative Democratic challenger in the June primary election.

“In total,” he said, “$360,000 of junior funding that my communities were counting on are gone in the stroke of a pen.”

Other Democratic lawmakers said they’re still considering the matter. “I’m certainly disappointed, but I never had to entertain a veto override in my career,” said Sen. Benny Shendo, D-Jemez Pueblo, who has been a senator for 10 years. “I think a little thought has to go into this in terms of what that means and where my colleagues are.”

Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, said he doesn’t support an extraordinary session.

“I don’t believe that this topic rises to the occasion of an extraordinary session as it relates to our constitution and our constitutional responsibility,” Padilla said, adding, “The extraordinary session is for things that are detrimental to ongoing operations, and the junior bill … to me, doesn’t meet that standard.”

However, Padilla said the matter could be part of a special session if one is called by the

governor, who said earlier this week her administration was “contemplating a number of ideas” to deal with rising gasoline prices, including proposals that may require legislative action.

In an executive message to lawmakers, Lujan Grisham said the junior bill circumvents the usual budget and capital outlay vetting process and that she was “unconvinced” the distribution of more than $50 million for various projects “upholds principles of fiscal responsibility” or represented a wise investment as a whole. In some cases, Lujan Grisham wrote, projects were not fully funded.

Lundstrom disputed the governor’s claim the projects weren’t properly vetted and said the bill included money in some cases for planning and design, or the first phase of a project, rather than full funding.

“If they hadn’t been vetted, how would [the governor] know that?” Lundstrom asked. “C’mon now. Give me a break. … I think legislators know what’s best in their own darn communities, and they should be able to fund some of those smaller projects.”

She added, “There are very specific guidelines that are given to the members before they put the request in. There is absolutely vetting and guidance on this.

It’s not just throwing a dart at a dartboard.”

Rep. Joy Garratt, D-Albuquerque, said there is less oversight of junior bill funding than capital outlay, which gives lawmakers an opportunity to provide funds for local infrastructure projects.

But, she said, legislators know the needs of their districts.

“The six projects that I supported are projects that I’m deeply familiar with. I know people who’ve benefited from them.

I know people who would benefit from them,” she said.

While Garratt said an extraordinary session may be “a good thing,” she said she wants to hear the pros and cons before making a final decision.

“What’s frustrating is that we were given a legislative go-ahead and then, after working with people closely, it’s been vetoed,” she said.

Lawmakers said staff in the Governor’s Office had been contacting them to find out whether they would support an extraordinary session.

“I received some phone calls from the Governor’s Office, trying to justify the action” of the veto, Lente said. “But at this point, action has been done. I mean, what was there to justify other than these conversations should have happened months ago?”

Sen. Jacob Candelaria of Albuquerque, who switched the party

u Senate Bill 48, also known as the “junior bill,” included $50.4 million for an array of projects and programs across the state.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham vetoed the measure this week. u The bill included more than $19 million for projects with statewide impacts, according to information provided by state Sen. George Muñoz. Bernalillo County projects saw the second-highest amount, at about $6.9 million. Tribes and pueblos would have received a total of $380,000 for projects. u There were $1.59 million worth of initiatives in the bill for Santa Fe County, $150,000 for Rio Arriba County and $50,000 for Los Alamos County. u The three counties would have shared an additional $360,000, likely allocated for the First Judicial District, which spans the three counties. u Santa Fe County also would have had a share in $200,000 for projects benefiting multiple counties, and might have had a share in $310,000 designated for projects in “Northern New Mexico.”

affiliation on his voter registration late last year from Democratic to “decline to state,” said the junior bill veto could cost Lujan Grisham in November.

“I think there are only downsides here, which begs the question why the governor chose to take such a dramatic and retaliatory action in the middle of an election year,” said Candelaria, who has been critical of Lujan Grisham.

“This erodes a lot of trust that the governor had with many rankand-file Democrats,” he added.

Candelaria said the veto “at least pulls the curtain back” on Lujan Grisham’s character. He described her as “a political animal.”

The governor’s press secretary, Nora Meyers Sackett, wrote in an email, “The governor’s responsibility is to ensure that New Mexico’s investments directly and meaningfully benefit New Mexicans while maintaining fiscal responsibility, given the once-in-a-generation revenue we have available.”

Fiscal responsibility ensures programs are funded properly with consistent and recurring appropriations, she wrote.

Sackett listed a number of investments Lujan Grisham supported in the state’s nearly $8.5 billion budget she signed into law Wednesday.

Raúl E. Burciaga, director of the Legislative Council Service, said he could neither confirm nor deny whether his office has received a request to develop or assist in the development of a petition to convene an extraordinary session.

“In the past when this process has been used, either one certificate or individual certificates are circulated to the members of both chambers. The certificate should state that in the opinion of the members who sign, an emergency exists in the affairs of the state,” he wrote in an email.

If three-fifths of the members in each chamber sign on, the governor is mandated within five days, excluding Sundays, to convene the Legislature in extraordinary session. If the governor fails to do so, the Legislature may convene itself, Burciaga wrote.

An extraordinary session is open “for all purposes” and cannot exceed 30 days.

Four deaths occurred in Bernalillo County; three in San Juan; two in Chaves; and one each in Doña Ana, Grant, Lea, Luna and McKinley.

The number of New Mexico deaths related to COVID-19 rose to 7,040, while the number of cases reported statewide amid the pandemic reached 514,901.

As of Thursday, 161 people were hospitalized in New Mexico for COVID-19.

The state’s seven-day positivity rate — the percentage of people who test positive for the virus out of the overall number of people who have been tested — was 4.8 percent.

Officer staffing top issue Continued from Page A-1

Rodriguez since he was announced as a finalist last week.

Rodriguez, a 26-year law enforcement veteran — the last 16 in Rio Rancho — spent much of his time focusing on the department’s staffing vacancies and the effect on a variety of concerns including morale, retention, recruiting officers and traffic enforcement.

The Santa Fe Police Department has aimed to entice more people to either transfer to the department or seek a career in law enforcement, most recently offering hiring incentives and retention bonuses.

Rodriguez said the Rio Rancho Police Department overcame recruitment and retention issues during his tenure and that he would “like to take that same vision we applied here and bring it to Santa Fe.” As deputy chief, he is the commanding officer of the department’s Support Services Bureau, where he maintains staffing and training. He has

held the position since March 2020. With proper staffing levels, Rodriguez said, the Santa Fe department could have a proper road presence to better enforce traffic laws while also addressing other public safety calls.

“It’s really important we have enough staffing so that we can accomplish all the jobs,” he said. “So that we can conduct traffic enforcement, so we can handle all of the special events that occur in Santa Fe, that we can respond to all the 911 calls within a given time.”

He said proper staffing can boost morale but added the local administration would also have to make department morale a priority by supporting officers. “We want to take care of the people who take care of the public,” Rodriguez said.

Joye, who has filled the role in an interim capacity since December, also noted staffing issues in his response to a question on traffic but said that while staffing is a factor, the city could do a better job modifying its close patrols to be more traffic patrol-related.

Joye added he is a big fan of technology and favors exploring the return of the Santa Fe Operations Program, or STOP, which included placing cameras in problem areas around the city as part of an effort to fine speeders. He also favors building up the department’s civilian staff to

help support patrols.

Still, he noted that the city can do a better job with recruiting, which is key to morale. He said the city’s best recruiting tool can sometimes be another officer.

“It’s more than just asking, ‘Where do you see yourself in five years,’ ” Joye said. “There should be a follow-up on our side of, ‘Where do you see yourself in five years, and how can we help you get there?’ ” Joye, who joined the department as a cadet in 2006, said he has been part of ongoing talks about staffing and morale, as well as “every major initiative and operation and community engagement” that the department has recently undertaken with the city.

He was promoted to deputy chief in September 2019 and has been responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations.

“It’s hard to have a vision for a place if you don’t know where they have been or where they are going,” Joye said. “I know what works, I know what hasn’t worked and I have used that to build on new programs that we are working on currently.”

Both candidates said communication is key to making sure cases are properly prepared for the District Attorney’s Office, noting if issues arise in a case, they have to be prepared to address them quickly.

The department came under

heavy scrutiny in 2020 after lapses in its evidence room policy and oversight led the city to publicly acknowledge it had lost evidence in the fatal stabbing of 21-year-old Selena Valencia in 2017.

Her boyfriend, Christopher Garcia, 28, had been facing a first-degree murder charge, but the missing evidence led to a plea deal on a lesser charge of manslaughter.

On the topic of preventing destruction during public protests — a likely reference to the event that led to the destruction of the Soldiers’ Monument on the Plaza on Indigenous Peoples Day 2020 — Rodriguez chose to focus more on the planning stage, while Joye focused on mitigation.

Rodriguez said it’s important for law enforcement to strike up relationships with organizers to help set up ground rules and collaboration, as well as ensure the necessary police and city staffing is in place.

“If you do that, and you have that good communication, you certainly end up with a positive event where everyone has worked together and it continue to build that trust,” he said.

Joye said the city should be proactive to ensure any First Amendment event goes off well, but he said that if trouble does arise, the department should be prepared to quickly remove the

bad actors. “At worst, we have to work to identify the people who are involved and work to bring charges later,” he said. “But the number one concern always has to be the safety of the people there and around the facility or where the action is and how can we intervene in the way that is best going to keep people safe and unharmed.”

During closing statements, both made their final pitch.

Rodriguez said: “I just want to talk a little bit about my vision, and it’s simply to make Santa Fe the model law enforcement agency for New Mexico. Everyone will look up to Santa Fe and everyone will want to work for Santa Fe. We will attract the best people that are committed to serve the public and those that are committed to keep them safe.”

Joye said: “This department is my family, and this community is my home. I have been very fortunate to have had the career I have had here because of the support and the hard work on my end to get myself here, but I am optimistic and hopeful of the things we can do and how we can move this thing forward to make use the best version of ourselves that the community wants us to be and needs us to be.”

City Manager John Blair is expected to name a new chief by the end of the month.

Sanctions are hitting Russia’s Russians keep pressure on Mariupol; convoy breaks up economy, but collapse unlikely Associated Press

By Evgeniy Maloletka Associated Press

MARIUPOL, Ukraine — Russian forces kept up their bombardment of the port city of Mariupol on Thursday, while satellite photos appeared to show that a massive convoy that had been mired outside the Ukrainian capital split up and fanned out into towns and forests near Kyiv, with artillery pieces moved into firing positions.

International condemnation escalated over an airstrike in Mariupol a day earlier that killed three people at a maternity hospital. Western and Ukrainian officials called the attack a war crime. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the Russian refusal to permit evacuations from the port city amounted to “outright terror.”

In Washington, a $13.6 billion emergency package of military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine and its European allies easily won final congressional approval, hitching a ride on a governmentwide spending bill that’s five months late but loaded with political prizes for both parties.

The Senate approved the overall $1.5 trillion overall legislation by a 68-31 bipartisan margin. President Joe Biden is certain to sign it.

As the West seeks new ways to punish Moscow, Biden planned to announce Friday the United States, the European Union and the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations would move to revoke Russia’s “most favored nation” trade status, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The loss of the trade status would allow tariffs to be imposed on Russian imports and increase the isolation of the Russian economy.

Meanwhile, the highest-level talks held since the invasion began two weeks ago yielded no progress, the number of refugees fleeing the country topped

excited for the trip.”

Eli Kaminetzky said he’s thankful to God for saving his child and Meir’s school.

“I literally didn’t sleep a couple of nights,” he said. “We were anxious. We were praying.

The whole Taos Jewish community came to offer prayers and support; they were very happy when he was freed, when he escaped. Many of them knew him personally because he grew up here.”

Taos residents will get a chance to reconnect with Meir in April, his father said, when the boy returns home for Passover break. His harrowing journey won’t be the only story he has to tell; securing transit out of Ukraine in the first place was a far from certain proposition.

“They were thinking of taking a train to Odesa, [Ukraine], and there actually wasn’t a lot of support for that idea because there was a possibility that the tracks would be bombed or that we could be shot at or who knows what,” Meir told The Taos News, a sister newspaper to The Santa Fe New Mexican. “So there was that chance to take a train to Odesa, and then somehow go over the Moldovan border.”

A student’s father in Odesa secured 35 tickets for the school.

“They didn’t know it at the time, but this was actually the second-to-last-available train.

The next day was the last train, and then after that, over — no more way to leave,” Meir said.

Meir said that as the train neared Odesa, about 300 miles southwest of Dnipro, he looked out the window to see Ukrainian “tanks, soldiers hiding in bushes with their weapons and snipers coming out of buildings.”

It took 12 hours to reach the city, where they then waited as their passports were checked by armed personnel before they were permitted to cross into Moldova amid a crush of others attempting to flee.

“Everyone breathed a sigh of relief across the border because it was much safer,” Meir said.

“Every second we were in Ukraine, everyone understood we were in grave danger. As soon as we crossed, we had other issues, but they weren’t comparable to when we were in Ukraine.”

John Miller of The Taos News contributed to this report.

FELIPE DANA/ASSOCIATED PRESS

A destroyed tank is seen after battles between Ukrainian and Russian forces Thursday near Brovary, north of Kyiv, Ukraine.

2.3 million, and Kyiv braced for an onslaught, its mayor boasting that the capital had become practically a fortress protected by armed civilians.

Satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies showed that 40-mile convoy of vehicles, tanks and artillery has broken up and been redeployed, the company said. Armored units were seen in towns near the Antonov Airport north of the city. Some of the vehicles have moved into forests, Maxar reported, with towed howitzers nearby in position to open fire.

The convoy had massed outside the city early last week, but its advance appeared to have stalled amid reports of food and fuel shortages. U.S. officials said Ukrainian troops also targeted the convoy with anti-tank missiles.

In Mariupol, a southern seaport of 430,000, the situation was increasingly dire as civilians trapped inside the city scrounged for food and fuel. More than 1,300 people have died in the 10-day siege of the frigid city, said Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.

Residents have no heat or

phone service, and many have no electricity. Nighttime temperatures are regularly below freezing, and daytime ones normally hover just above it. Bodies are being buried in mass graves.

The streets are littered with burned-out cars, broken glass and splintered trees.

“They have a clear order to hold Mariupol hostage, to mock it, to constantly bomb and shell it,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address to the nation. He said the Russians began a tank attack right where there was supposed to be a humanitarian corridor.

On Thursday, firefighters tried to free a boy trapped in the rubble. One grasped the boy’s hand.

His eyes blinked, but he was otherwise still. It was not clear if he survived. Nearby, at a mangled truck, a woman wrapped in a blue blanket shuddered at the sound of an explosion.

Grocery stores and pharmacies were emptied days ago by people breaking in to get supplies, according to a local official with the Red Cross, Sacha Volkov.

A black market is operating for vegetables, meat is unavailable, and people are stealing gasoline from cars, Volkov said.

Western sanctions are dealing a severe blow to Russia’s economy. The ruble is plunging, foreign businesses are fleeing and sharply higher prices are in the offing. Familiar products may disappear from stores, and middle-class achievements like foreign vacations are in doubt.

Beyond the short-term pain, Russia’s economy will likely see a deepening of the stagnation that started to set in long before the invasion of Ukraine.

But a total collapse is unlikely, several economists say. Despite the punishing financial sanctions, Russia has built “an economy that’s geared for conflict,” said Richard Connolly, an expert on the Russian economy at the Royal United Services Institute in Britain.

The Russian government’s extensive involvement in the economy and the money it is still making from oil and gas

exports — even with bans from the U.S. and Britain — will help soften the blow for many workers, pensioners and government employees in a country that has endured three serious financial crises in the past three decades.

And as economists point out, Iran, a much smaller and less diversified economy, has endured sanctions misery for years over its nuclear program without a complete breakdown.

Still, the Russian currency has fallen spectacularly, which will drive up prices for imported goods when inflation was already running hot at 9 percent.

It took 80 rubles to get $1 on Feb. 23, the day before the invasion. By Thursday, it was 119 — even after Russia’s central bank took drastic measures to stop the plunge, including doubling interest rates to 20 percent.

Marina Albee, owner of the Cafe Botanika vegetarian restaurant in St. Petersburg’s historic city center, has already heard

from her fruit and vegetable supplier that prices will be going up 10 percent to 50 percent. Other suppliers can’t say how much.

The cafe imports dried seaweed and smoked tofu from Japan, mini asparagus from Chile, broccoli from Benin, basmati rice and coconut oil from India.

“We’re waiting for the tsunami to hit — the tsunami being the price increases for everything we purchase,” Albee said. “We need to keep our eye on the situation and, if we need to, take those dishes out of the menu.”

“We can reengineer our menu to make more Russian-based dishes,” she said. “You have to be quick on your feet.” After surviving two years without tourists because of the pandemic, “it takes a lot to faze us,” Albee added.

Although sanctions have frozen a large portion of Russia’s foreign currency reserves, state finances are in good shape with low debt.

Some retirees get more help at the Capitol than others

P

olitical insiders and ordinary outsiders will have more money in their pockets thanks to new state laws.

The gains were simple to come by for one group but arduous for the other. It should be no surprise who had the easy ride.

State lawmakers this winter voted to receive a 27 percent increase in their pensions.

The measure, Senate Bill 159, had overwhelming support from the people it would benefit. Senators authorized the pension increase 34-0, and the House of Representatives approved it on a vote of 61-5.

Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed their bill into law without a stir.

While taking care of themselves, some of these same legislators opposed bills to repeal the state tax on Social Security income.

Rep. Eliseo Alcon, D-Milan, was the most outspoken. He said eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits would benefit the rich.

Even if that were true — and it isn’t — so what? New Mexico was one Milan of 12 states that taxed Social Security Simonich income. No one knows how many Ringside Seat people searching for a retirement home bypassed New Mexico because of its unfriendly system.

Instead of people keeping more of what they earned, Alcon wanted the Legislature to continue taxing Social Security and spending that money.

Legislators eventually came to their senses under heavy public pressure. They approved a bill that eliminates the tax on Social Security benefits for individuals with an annual income of less than $100,000 and for couples making up to $150,000.

The tax should have been repealed entirely. Instead, a compromise proposal with the income limits was added to House Bill 163.

That wide-ranging measure contains a series of other tax credits. They include breaks for certain nurses and parents, solar energy development and the purchase of feminine hygiene products.

With something for everyone in the bill, it became harder for lawmakers to oppose a partial repeal of Social Security taxes.

Even Alcon voted for the buffet bill. It cleared the Legislature with ease, and Lujan Grisham signed it.

The repeal of certain Social Security taxes applies to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2022.

As for the bill increasing pensions for lawmakers, it had a vague, drab title: “Legislative retirement changes.”

The real point of the bill — legislators giving themselves more money — was obscured.

The bill contains another generous provision for legislators. Those who didn’t sign up for the pension program can still qualify by making nominal financial contributions until the end of this year.

New Mexico legislators do not receive a base salary.

IN BRIEF City will draw names Friday to pick 7 for citizens redistricting panel The city of Santa Fe will hold a drawing Friday to select the seven members of its Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.

The random drawing will be broadcast on the city’s YouTube channel at 1 p.m. Those selected will be notified by City Clerk Kristine Mihelcic.

The redistricting commission will be responsible for drawing new City Council district boundaries for the second time since the panel’s inception.

According to the ordinance creating the commission, it is supposed to meet at least every 10 years to redraw the district boundaries based on new census data. The redistricting plan, according to city code, should be voted on three months prior to a municipal election.

The 2020 census data, released Aug. 1, showed Santa Fe as the fastest-growing city in the state, with an increase of about 19,600 residents since 2010 — about a 30 percent increase. Much of that growth, however, was due to annexation. The city’s population is now about 87,500.

Trial in limbo years after compound raid as mental health ruling awaits A U.S. District Court is evaluating the mental health of a woman charged with kidnapping, firearms and terrorism-related counts nearly four years after authorities arrested her and four other adults from an extended family at a squalid New Mexico compound and recovered the remains of a 3-year-old boy.

Courtroom deliberations about Haitian national Jany Leveille and her mental health where scheduled Thursday at a hearing in Albuquerque sealed from public view to consider whether she is able to understand the charges against her. Leveille has denied the criminal charges.

The deliberations take place more than 3½ years after sheriff’s officials and state agents raided a ramshackle encampment in the remote desert surrounded by berms of used tires with an adjacent firing range — in search of a sickly 3-year-old who had been reported missing by his mother in Georgia.

Sheriff’s deputies and state agents initially found 11 hungry children, a small arsenal of ammunition and guns — and days later recovered the decomposed remains of the 3-yearold from an underground tunnel.

Mental health concerns about Leveille and three other defendants have contributed to a yearslong extension of preparations for trial.

Hydrogen aircraft plant announced Facility at Albuquerque Sunport part of governor’s broader push to build hydrogen economy in state

By Teya Vitu tvitu@sfnewmexican.com

ALBUQUERQUE — A California-based startup company plans to build a manufacturing plant in Albuquerque to power passenger aircraft with hydrogen capsules, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Thursday.

Universal Hydrogen, of Hawthorne, Calif., is expected to

build hydrogen storage modules, assemble aircraft retrofit kits and perform aftermarket maintenance services at the Albuquerque International Sunport.

Lujan Grisham said its opening is expected in 2024, and the company said it will employ 500 people within seven years.

According to the company’s website, the company’s mission is to “decarbonize aviation.” One

co-founder and chief executive officer, Paul Eremenko, served as chief technology officer for Airbus and United Technologies Corporation.

Universal Hydrogen was established in 2020 at the Hawthorne Airport — “between the private hangar of Elon Musk and the private hangar of Harrison Ford,” said co-founder Jon Gordon — located near Los Angeles International Airport.

The Hawthorne location serves as company headquarters and the

research and development site for Universal Hydrogen’s powertrain development. The company has another R&D facility in Toulouse, France, where the capsules for gaseous hydrogen and liquid hydrogen are developed, said Gordon, who was in attendance at the announcement at Hotel Albuquerque.

Gaseous hydrogen capsules can power aircraft for 750 kilometers (about 466 miles) and the liquid variant has a range of Please see story on Page A-7

State board vetting proposed oil field ozone rule Regulators estimate restriction would eliminate ozone pollution equivalent of 8M cars each year

By Scott Wyland swyland@sfnewmexican.com

A state panel began deliberating Thursday on a proposed rule to curtail oil field emissions that cause ground-level ozone, a pollutant that can harm public health and the environment.

The Environmental Improvement Board started vetting the proposed “ozone precursor rule” aimed at reducing pollutants emitted during oil and gas operations that can impair breathing and, in higher doses, damage the heart and lungs.

In what is likely to be a dayslong deliberation, the board is picking through a hefty draft rule that contains proposed provisions from the state Environment Department, industry groups, conservationists and other concerned parties.

State and federal officials have said their monitoring devices show nitrogen oxides and

volatile organic compounds — known as VOCs — which form ozone, have increased at oil and gas sites in recent years and must be reduced.

The rule would apply to counties where these pollutants reach at least 95 percent of the federal ambient air quality standard.

So far, Chaves, Doña Ana, Eddy, Lea, Rio Arriba, Sandoval, San Juan and Valencia counties have been pegged as meeting that threshold.

One of the first discussions involved whether Chaves and Rio Arriba counties should be included. Industry attorneys dispute the state’s authority to apply the rule in those counties, arguing they lack the air-monitoring systems needed to gauge the pollutants.

The board kept them on the list.

“I’ve heard a lot of ‘We want a level playing field’ from industry,” board member William Honker said. “But in this case, it sounds like some of the industry doesn’t want a level playing field in those two counties in terms of what the requirements are.”

Honker said he wasn’t fond of partitioning counties for the rule. Airsheds aren’t like watersheds in that one never knows where the pollu-

tion will flow, making boundaries arbitrary and political, Honker said.

But under the current system, he supports the Environment Department’s recommended list of counties subject to the rule, he said.

Board member Karen Garcia said if the two counties aren’t included now, the state will have to go through much more rule-making later to bring them in.

The board spent much of the day deciding what language to keep, what to throw out and what should be reworked.

It also looked at how terms such as ozone precursors should be defined, based on arguments and counterarguments by regulators, industry advocates and environmental groups like WildEarth Guardians.

An example was the term “ozone precursors.”

Board member Amanda Trujillo Davis, who has worked as an industry environmental scientist, said it should be defined clearly as nitrogen oxides and VOCs. Others argued with science frequently Please see story on Page A-8 SANTAFENEWMEXICAN.COM

American was freed with Richardson’s help Hydrogen aircraft plant Former gov. helped get oil executive released from Venezuela, who says ‘nightmare’ is over

By Joshua Goodman, Regina Garcia Cano and Eric Tucker Associated Press

MIAMI — An American oil executive freed from custody in Venezuela said even as he celebrates the end of a long “nightmare” with his family he’s praying for the release of five colleagues who are still imprisoned and “deserve the same blessings.”

Gustavo Cardenas arrived to his home in Houston at 4 a.m.

Wednesday after flying overnight from Caracas with a senior State Department official sent to negotiate the release of American prisoners in the South American country.

In a statement to the Associated Press, he said his imprisonment of more than four years “has caused a lot of suffering and pain, much more than I can explain with my words.”

“I got out of jail and got my freedom after about 1,570 days of wrongful captivity. It was a very hard time marked by deep pain, but also by faith, hope, love and survival,” he said.

He called for the prompt release of the remaining members of the Citgo 6 — for the Houston oil company where they all worked. “They and their families deserve the same blessings and freedom that I got last night,” he said.

He credited his release to President Joe Biden and other U.S. officials as well as the support received from former Gov. Bill Richardson and Mickey Bergman of the Santa Fe-based Richardson Center, which has worked to secure the release of dozens of

IN BRIEF Interim city land use director Kluck given position full time After working for eight months as interim director of the city of Santa Fe’s Planning and Land Use Department, Jason Kluck has been hired in the position on a full-time basis, City Manager John Blair announced in a news release Thursday.

Kluck will fill the vacancy left by former Land Use Director Elias Isaacson, who resigned in June to become Community Development Czar for the city of Santa Barbara, Calif. Kluck was named interim director in July.

The Planning and Land Use Department is responsible for overseeing building permits, historic preservation, building inspections and code enforcement, among other duties.

Kluck will earn an annual salary of $121,056, according to city spokesman Dave Herndon.

His appointment comes amid discussions among city officials and residents about the proper balance between development and preservation of a “small-town feel” in the city.

Kluck alluded to the topic in the news release.

“I have a deep desire to help preserve the character, charm, and livability of Santa Fe while understanding that this is a living, evolving city,” he said in the statement.

Kluck began working with the city in 2009 in the Public Works Department before being promoted in 2019 to assistant director of planning and land use, according to the news release.

Plan paves way for more Arizona forest restoration projects FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The U.S. Forest Service has completed an environmental review that paves the way for large-scale thinning projects and prescribed burns along a prominent line of ponderosa pines and mixed conifer that divide Arizona’s desert from the high country.

The agency released hundreds of pages of documents Thursday for the Rim Country Project that’s part of a larger effort to reduce the risk of wildfire on 3,750 square miles of national forest. Known as the Four Forest Restoration Initiative, it’s the largest of its kind.

Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said at-risk communities should see the pace of such projects increase over the coming years, partly because of money from the $1 trillion federal infrastructure

MARIA ELENA CARDENAS VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gustavo Cardenas, one of the ‘Citgo 6’ oil executives jailed in Venezuela, was released Tuesday and poses Wednesday for a photo with his daughter Maria Mercedes in their home in Houston. Former Gov. Bill Richardson helped secure the release of Cardenas, who pushed for the release of his five colleagues.

Americans detained abroad.

Notably absent was any mention of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, whose government jailed the men when they traveled on a corporate jet to Caracas around Thanksgiving 2017 for what they thought was an emergency meeting with Citgo’s parent company, state run oil giant PDVSA. Instead, masked security forces bearing assault rifles

entered a conference room and arrested the men. Later they were sentenced on charges stemming from a never-executed plan to refinance some $4 billion in Citgo bonds by offering a 50 percent stake in the company as collateral. Prosecutors accused the men of maneuvering to benefit from the proposed deal.

They’ve always maintained their innocence even as the U.S. has accused Maduro of using

bill and a commitment from the Biden administration to aggressively thin forests that bump up against urban areas.

“We’ve seen historic fires, in terms of size, magnitude and danger,” Vilsack told the Associated Press. “We’ve seen the loss of life, we’ve seen significant loss of property. The pictures are horrific and the damages are catastrophic.”

The Four Forest Restoration Initiative launched a decade ago and was a rare showing of consensus among longtime adversaries to reshape forests on a large scale. But it’s far short of its goals after delays caused by bureaucracy, the inability of logging and other companies to see a profit and other issues.

A contract for about 470 square miles awarded a decade ago is nearing its end.

Massive wildfires like the Rodeo-Chediski in 2002 that burned hundreds of buildings and evacuated entire towns in eastern Arizona pointed to the need.

“We called our answering

machine every day to make sure our house was still there,” Show Low resident Connie Emmett said Thursday.

Her property is located at the boundary of the ApacheSitgreaves National Forest that’s within the footprint of the Four Forest plan. She said trees that have died as a result of climate change, beetles or other forces need to be cleared out.

“I would like to see an acceleration, but I know the hand of the government works very slow,” she said. “It’s going to take a while, and it’s going to take funding.”

The final environmental impact statement released Thursday covers half of the area included in the Four Forest plan.

It was released early to give the public extra time to look through it. Those who weighed in on the draft plan have 45 days, starting March 18, to file objections.

The project as a whole has struggled to keep pace. The Forest Service revamped its strategy last year after deciding not to

them a political bargaining chips to extract concessions from the U.S. The release of Cardenas and Jorge Fernández, an American imprisoned in Venezuela who was not a member of the Citgo 6, came hours after Maduro signaled an interest in improving relations with the U.S. at a time when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked concerns in the United States over rising gas prices. In a televised address, he indicated he would accede to U.S. demands he resume negotiations with his opponents as a first building block for any relief from U.S. sanctions that have been punishing the OPEC nation for years.

U.S. officials have not detailed any other specific outcomes of the talks but said the release reflected months of relationship-building, particularly involving Roger Carstens, the administration’s special presidential envoy for hostage affairs who accompanied Cardenas and Fernandez back to the U.S. Carstens made a trip to Venezuela in December that did not immediately result in the release of detainees but that senior administration officials credited with establishing trust and laying the groundwork for Tuesday’s outcome. He returned to Venezuela last weekend with other administration officials, including Juan Gonzalez, the National Security Council director for the Western Hemisphere, and Ambassador James Story, who heads the U.S. government’s Venezuelan Affairs Unit out of neighboring Colombia.

The Biden administration described it as the first Venezuela visit by a White House official since Hugo Chávez led the country in the late 1990s and a rare opportunity to discuss policy issues with the Maduro government.

Agencies in the U.S. and Mexico’s National Commission of Natural Protected Areas have been working for years to help the species recover.

officials said.

It happened Tuesday night while the officer was locking down a housing unit, Albuquerque television station KOB-TV reported.

Authorities are still investigating how it happened.

The council on Monday voted 5-4 to revoke Mayor Tim Keller’s power under the city’s emergency powers ordinance to do such things as ordering closures of streets or places of mass gatherings, canceling city events and reallocating up to $1 million in the city budget.

Instead, the mayor could only issue “advisories and recommendations” during a public health crisis, the Albuquerque Journal reported.

Keller spokesperson Ava Montoya said Thursday the council’s action is subject to a potential veto by the mayor. “We’re carefully considering the legislation,” she said in an email.

Councilor Dan Lewis proposed the change, saying Keller had hardly invoked his powers and mostly deferred to orders issued by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

A high-ranking Keller appointee, Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Rael, opposed the change, saying the administration had used the newly revoked procurement flexibility and needed the ability to move quickly.

Lewis said the spending could have been accomplished “in a variety of ways, including [getting] support from the council.”

Man extradited to face trial in Roswell killing ROSWELL — A man sought in the 2020 strangulation killing of a Roswell woman has been extradited to the United States after being arrested in Mexico, officials said Wednesday.

Jorge Rico-Ruvira, 34, will stand trial in state District Court in Roswell in the killing of Isela Sanchez, the 27-year-old mother of his young son, state prosecutors said in a statement.

An Amber Alert was issued for the son, Osiel Ernesto Rico, when the father fled to Mexico, but officials announced last year the boy had been found safe.

No details were released then on the boy’s status, but court records now indicate a District Court judge in January appointed temporary kinship guardians for the child.

Rico-Ruvira is also charged with child abuse.

State Attorney General Hector Balderas and 5th Judicial District Attorney Dianna Luce said in the statement announcing Rico-Ruvira’s extradition he left Isela Sanchez’s daughter, who was 7 at the time, alone in the house when he left with the couple’s son.

Albuquerque council reins in mayor’s powers Inmate stabs officer at state prison in Grants

Retirees Continued from Page A-6

Taxpayers might wonder how they can receive a pension.

It’s simple enough. They wrote a law to benefit themselves.

Their formula for pensions is calculated on their years in office and the daily expense allowance they receive while on official business.

Under the pension plan they recently approved, legislators would receive the 27 percent increase if they retired at 65 or older and held office for at least five years.

Qualifying for Social Security is tougher than the standard legislators set for themselves. A person must work at least 10 years to be eligible for Social Security retirement income.

Eight legislators who served at least five years are retiring at the end of the year. Most are leaving willingly. One isn’t.

Rep. Georgene Louis, D-Albuquerque, decided not to seek reelection after being arrested on suspicion of aggravated drunken driving. This is her 10th year in office, and she hoped to have many more.

Louis, a 44-year-old attorney, can qualify for a legislative pension regardless of whether she is convicted of aggravated DWI, a petty misdemeanor.

Still to be seen is whether there is political upheaval based on the way legislators handled their retirement benefits and taxes on Social Security income.

Alcon, a legislator for almost 14 years, ran unopposed in the Democratic primary election in 2020. He has two primary challengers this year.

In addition to his view on Social Security taxes, Alcon voted against the bill cutting annual interest rates on storefront loans. Lawmakers reduced the maximum rate from 175 percent to 36 percent.

Alcon and Rep. Ambrose Castellano of Las Vegas were the only two Democrats to oppose the lower interest rates.

The governor signed the new rate into law, though it’s not effective until Jan. 1, 2023.

Having two primary opponents might actually help Alcon win an eighth term. If he holds his political base, his competitors could split the remaining votes.

Another possibility is the increase in competition signals trouble for Alcon.

If so, he could have a soft landing, courtesy of the Legislature’s improved pension program.

changing, researchers might later determine other elements should be included in the mix. These members outnumbered Trujillo Davis and voted to not impose a strict definition on the compound.

Board members did agree not to make the rule cover methane, even though this potent greenhouse gas is tied to ground-level ozone.

But unlike ozone, it is not a criteria pollutant, Trujillo Davis said, referring to those covered under the ambient air quality standard; they include sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and lead.

“When you throw in the term methane, you do start muddying the waters,” Trujillo Davis said.

Still, regulators estimate the rule would not only reduce ozone precursors by an estimated 260 million pounds a year but it would cut methane pollution by an estimated 851 million pounds yearly.

Eliminating that amount of ozone is the equivalent of taking 8 million cars off the road each year, they estimate.

The board adopted a record-keeping provision that regulators said was important for accountability when they proposed it.

Operators must produce an electronic record within three business days of monitoring their oil wells for pollution, and they must keep these records for five years.

Owners also must create a database report on all their assets, beginning in 2024.

Last year, when the state first proposed the rule, Environment Secretary James Kenney said this kind of regulation was necessary to fix air quality.

“It’s clear that self-policing is not the answer,” Kenney said. “It is clear you need strong rules.”

FUNERAL SERVICES AND MEMORIALS LILIANA CONNELLY-FERRARI

CARMELO LEO DANNA

Liliana said ciao-ciao to this world on March 8, 2022 after a long, full life at the age of 97. Her goal was to live to a hundred and she would be perfectly happy if we all rounded up. She was born in Milan, Italy on September 21, 1924 although she would prefer us to all think of her birth year as 1942. Her parents, General Armando Mazzetti and Albertina Ferrari, moved from Milan to Rome in 1936 with Liliana and her older sister Mimmi. Being the youngest child was a mischievous role that Liliana took on with gusto and which led to numerous pranks at school.

After World War II Liliana met and fell in love with an American serviceman, George Connelly. They married in Rome, lived in Europe and then moved to New York City. Liliana and George welcomed their son, Brian, in New York City in 1957.

The young family vacationed in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands and decided to move there where their entrepreneurial spirits flourished. Their family also flourished with the addition of their son, Kevin and daughter, Sharon. The family loved island life but the blue skies of New Mexico beckoned and the family moved to Santa Fe in 1971.

Growing up in Liliana’s household was never dull. She was a consummate horse rider competing at the highest levels in open jumping and teaching many young riders. She was also a talented skier and taught skiing at the Santa Fe Ski Basin for many years. Having lived through World War II and the depression shaped Liliana’s formative years and resulted in a strong work ethic which continued until the very last year of her life. She had a deep love of teaching and taught hundreds of students Italian, French and Latin. Liliana faced her death as she faced her life with a lionhearted, optimistic attitude and a smile.The family is grateful to her caregivers for all of their help in recent months. We couldn’t have done it without you. Liliana is now up in heaven correcting St. Peter’s Italian and dancing with the angels.

Left with decades of fond and colorful memories are Liliana’s children, Brian Connelly of Cebu, Philippines, Kevin and Anita Connelly of Santa Fe, Sharon and Rick Whisman of Petaluma; grandchildren: Tyler Candon, Kyle Connelly, Cody Connelly, and Heidi Glenn, step grandchildren: Marissa Whisman, Ricky Whisman, and Riley Whisman; nephew Tim Hill, and niece Sallie Hill; great nieces Tiffany Hill, Lucy Hill, and Molly Hill and great nephew Max Hill.

“Bravisima Mom for 35,609 days of a life well lived.”

A service to give thanks for Liliana’s life will be held this Saturday, March 12 at 10:30am at the United Church of Santa Fe (1804 Arroyo Chamiso, Corner of St. Michaels Dr) with Rev. Talitha Arnold presiding.

To mitigate against covid, please wear a mask and bring proof of vaccination.

A reception will be at Bishops Lodge at 12:30pm. Everyone has a Liliana story and we’d love to hear them all. If you would like to make a donation in Liliana’s name please consider the Alzheimer’s Association.

ROBERT ERIC DURAN Sr. Police Officer Robert Eric Duran, 43, was killed in the line of duty Wednesday March 2nd while in service to the City of Santa Fe. He was born in Artesia, New Mexico, February 1, 1979, to Enrique Duran Jr. and Janie Mariscal. Robert graduated from Lake Arthur High School in 1997 and later moved to Rio Rancho, New Mexico where he traveled for work and made many friends around the country.

In 2003 he moved to Bakersfield, California where he met his wife Kathleen Duran and they started their family together.

A charming smile that could brighten your day, twinkling eyes and engaging personality - that was Carmelo Leo Danna, known to everyone as Sonny. He was born in Houston, Texas on March 11, 1948 and passed away unexpectedly on February 18, 2022. Sonny’s mother was of German descent and his father was the product of late 1800’s Sicilian immigrants. Family has always been his number one priority. He is blessed with four sons, Trey, Will, Travis, and Trenton, and blessed to have found the love of his life in Leza Clymer. He is survived by his sisters Pat Alderman and Nancy Smith.

Sonny was one of the top high school football prospects out of Houston’s St. Thomas High School. Being awarded a four year athletic scholarship at the University of Texas at Austin helped to form his dedication to excellence. After graduation with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting he worked with Price Waterhouse and Co., and was transferred to Denver, Colorado in 1976. It was there that he realized real estate sales was his calling. He went on to have an impressive career of over 40 years in real estate. Starting in Denver, Colorado then on to Seattle, Washington; Aspen, Colorado; Lake Oswego, Oregon; and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sonny served as President of the Aspen Board of Realtors, owned his own Sotheby’s franchise in Aspen, and throughout his career was always a top 10 producing agent.

Sonny was a mentor to many, both in real estate and at home. His sons, grandsons, family, and friends all share their love and respect for him. Sonny’s Celebration of Life will be held March 21, 2022 at La Fonda in Santa Fe from 2-6pm.

Legislature unites to take on the governor

G

ov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is a Democrat in a blue state running for reelection.

She has a lot going for her.

New Mexicans tend to reelect governors, whether Democratic or Republican. Lujan Grisham won her first term handily and took charge during the pandemic with grit and determination. In this most recent legislative session, she had plenty of money to hand out and did so with gusto — a hospital in Valencia County, raises for teachers and state workers, dollars for necessary infrastructure projects around the state.

But that’s only a portion of the picture.

Pandemic decisions that saved lives also angered a sizable minority of the state. The frustration is about more than dislike of face masks, schools operating remotely or fury over a pause in youth sports. Intense backlash comes from small-business owners who suffered during the pandemic, with many losing incomes and others their livelihoods. Fairly or not, they don’t blame COVID-19; they blame the governor.

At the same time, the state’s stubborn crime problem has a significant portion of the electorate ready to vote out incumbents

they think are soft. Recognition of that dissatisfaction is one reason the governor pushed for tough-on-crime laws — most of which failed — during the recent legislative session.

Then there’s what has been a curious tendency to alienate allies.

In going all-out to create hydrogen hubs in New Mexico, Lujan Grisham took on supporters in the environmental community.

To green voters, attempting to crown hydrogen as the latest “clean” energy is akin to reviving the clean coal campaign.

There’s no such creature. Yet when legislation failed, the governor signed a memo of understanding with other Western governors to compete for federal funds aimed at developing hydrogen hubs.

At the least, such determination dims enthusiasm among base supporters. That matters even if, in the general election, the governor faces a Republican nominee who refuses to recognize climate change is real and caused by human activity.

Still, a candidate who wants enthusiastic supporters surely wouldn’t be trying to anger so many. Consider what happened this week.

By vetoing the junior legislative appropriation bill — Senate Bill 48 — Lujan Grisham took on the entire Legislature, and in doing so, the people and communities lawmakers represent.

Republicans already don’t like her, unsurprising considering their strong policy disagreements. But the veto of $50 million in the junior bill has Democrats steaming, too.

Money from the junior bill is appropriated by district, with individual lawmakers helping decide where the dollars go based on constituent input.

Occasionally dismissed as “pork,” some of these appropriations are sometimes derided as having little value. But consider the worth of a functional senior center in rural New Mexico or additional funds to buy meals for the hungry in counties where poverty is high. These are the projects elected officials take home to show they are doing important work for their districts.

Both Democrats — presumably, the folks the governor will want out campaigning for her as she hunts a second term — and Republicans are furious. They have a right to be.

In vetoing the legislation, Lujan Grisham said the entire funding process should be

Affidavit: Woman was alone in vehicle after pursuit of alleged kidnapper ended in fatal collision, March 4 As one of the terrorized drivers who faced, and survived, the white fleeing vehicle and the onslaught of police vehicles following at 90-plus miles per hour traveling in the wrong lane, I am furious.

There are too many discrepancies in the reports and a dearth of factual information disseminated to the press.”

Margaret Sandoval Phillips Thank you for summing up all my thoughts. I’m the driver of the blue car (which incidentally was also a Malibu). I was so angry when the initial reports (which were eventually disseminated to national news outlets) kept saying two police cars, a blue truck and the suspect’s vehicle were involved in the crash. I kept feeling like the media was completely gaslighting my traumatic, near-death experience, as nobody mentioned my blue Malibu for days! I’m so so grateful to have walked away from this, but the questions you’ve stated are the ones I want answers to.” Alexis Jenkins This is an excellent example of how a false narrative starts. It’s hearsay, jumping the gun about what happened before all the facts are sorted from the fiction. The police may have played a role in the start of the false narrative. Certainly the woman played a role in it, and the press was an unwitting if enthusiastic disseminator of a false or incorrect narrative based on all of the above. I am glad that the article today starts to shed some light on the truth of the matter.”

THE PAST 100 YEARS From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 11, 1921: Mark in Your Little Book March 21, When the Kiwanis Minstrel Show Electrifies a Vast Crowd at El Onate.

March 11, 1947: Two men charged with reckless driving each drew $25 fines in Judge Joe Berardinelli’s police court this morning.

March 11, 1997: It hasn’t yet been decided whether it’s safe to open the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, but a WIPP nuclear transport has apparently already rolled through the heart of Santa Fe.

overhauled and projects in the junior bill did not receive enough scrutiny. “While I’m sure my veto today is disappointing to many,” she wrote, “it is my sincere hope that it will serve as a catalyst for changing this process going forward to ensure that all such substantial expenditures are warranted and prudent.”

She could be right, but that’s a message to deliver at the beginning of the session — not the end, when legislators have worked diligently to choose just the right mix of projects to best help their constituents. A veto message after the fact is an attempt to appear fiscally prudent without doing the hard work to improve the system up front.

Rep. Roger Montoya, a first-term Democrat from Rio Arriba County, had this reaction: “Her actions today will adversely impact everyday New Mexicans.”

He’s hardly alone in that opinion.

Whether that results in a threatened extraordinary session is unclear, but the governor has done the nearly impossible: She’s united Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature.

We’ll see how that plays on the campaign trail.

Spiking gasoline prices are helping oil companies W

e all want to help the Ukrainians however we can, but to keep saying that by paying higher gas prices is helping anyone but the oil companies seems to me a little disingenuous. I haven’t heard our president nor one politician call on our fellow citizens, the big oil companies (see the Supreme Court’s “Citizens United”), to do their part amid all this suffering as they make record profits off this human catastrophe. We import just over 3 percent of our oil from Russia. Big Oil exports over 50 percent of the domestic output. The companies make more selling overseas. I think they can afford it without even tightening their belts. Futures speculation can calm down and prices can come down. Any politician want to take this up?

Honoring heritage To honor the three cultures that have contributed to the creation of Santa Fe, we should have a Plaza de las Tres Culturas or Plaza de Los Tres Mundos to pay homage to our Native, Hispanic and Anglo roots. As well as replacing the obelisk, we need to look at the Plaza as a whole and not just think in terms of just replacing a monument. Maybe since there are four sides to the Plaza, sculptures could be made that incorporate either symbolic, representational elements or artifacts of importance to each of the three cultures. The fourth side could feature a sculpture of what we all aspire to be, which is united. Each side could be designated with its Indigenous, Spanish or Anglo name. Let there be an open as well as fair selection of the artists; we can all work together and have a cooperative spirit about this.

Roots of conflict I’ve been to Ukraine several times. This gave me the opportunity to visit Kyiv and areas around it. It’s a modern city with stores, buildings, churches, monuments, cars and roads very similar to ours. Ukraine was considered the breadbasket of the Soviet Union, and agricultural exports are still an important part of its economy. This snippet regarding Ukrainian history will

Editorial page editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 505-986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

help explain why Putin says, “Ukraine isn’t a real independent nation,” “Russia and Ukraine are one nation” and “Ukrainians are little Russians.” Beginning in the 9th century, there was the Kievan Rus’ Empire, which included much of what we now consider Eastern Europe. Later, Ukraine was part of the Lithuanian-Polish Empire.

Three present European states — Belarus, Russia and Ukraine — consider the origin of their cultures, languages and Orthodox-Catholic faith to be in Ukraine.

Belarus and Russia show this in their names. Belarus, earlier Byelorussia (literally white Russia), and Russia speak the same language. Ukrainian, while similar to Russian, is a distinctly different language. Most Ukrainians speak both. This intimate relationship doesn’t justify what we see happening today. Opinion writers, and Putin himself, are beginning to talk about World War III and even nuclear war. I consider Russia’s actions illegal, scary and insane.

Too tall After a day of driving around Santa Fe, it has come to my attention the development of more and more condos and apartment complexes. My unhappiness is at how high these new developments are being allowed to build. They are ruining the views in Santa Fe and surrounding areas, destroying the quaintness of this town.

It is my view that when I moved to Santa Fe in 2000, the height of buildings stayed at a certain level — quaint, honoring the views and living spaces.

Today, builders are putting up town houses all over, not necessarily attractive in this city. The cost of housing in these units is unreasonable for the people who live and work here. I am requesting the governor and the mayor to reexamine what is happening on every ounce of land in Santa Fe. There must be another way to honor height limits and provide housing for whomever wants and needs it, for a reasonable cost. Consider reevaluating how these decisions are being made, weighing whether they are in the best interest of the people already living here and the environment.

ew Mexico has a critical role to play in enacting policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and holding the oil and gas industry accountable for its waste and pollution.

As Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said at the United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow last year, “If we can do it, then all energy producing states can do it.”

Too many New Mexico communities are experiencing the serious health impacts of oil and gas pollution. Spills, leaks, venting and flaring are taking a toll on all New Mexicans’ air, water and health, but rural communities, tribal communities, children and the elderly are especially at risk. In fact, almost half of all Native Americans in San Juan County — about 22,000 people — live within a half-mile of a well site.

Now is the time to open new doors to an economy where all communities thrive, and New Mexico’s air, land, water and wildlife are protected.

And fortunately, the state has an opportunity to act with the Environmental Improvement Board’s consideration of the New Mexico Environment Department’s proposed oil and gas air pollution rules.

The Lujan Grisham administration is proposing a groundbreaking approach to reduce oil and gas air pollution and methane waste that combines the work of two natural resource agencies to clean up oil and gas operations, protect public health and combat climate change.

Methane is one of the key drivers of climate change. It is a powerful greenhouse gas that is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term. The New Mexico Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department finalized rules last year to reduce methane waste and the environment department has proposed oil and gas air pollution rules that will be finalized by the board in March.

Together the regulations include three elements that could become the foundation of other state strategies and guide federal efforts to effectively reduce methane emissions.

The board should resist industry attempts to weaken the regulation and instead include key improvements supported by public health advocates, local communities and even Occidental Petroleum, the state’s second-largest oil producer, that will deliver the strongest possible protections — especially for front-line communities living closest to well sites.

Critical elements of New Mexico’s landmark approach include requiring oil and gas operators to eliminate routine venting and flaring; allowing no exemptions to leak detection and repair requirements; and protecting those living closest to development by requiring more frequent inspections to find and fix leaks.

By finalizing the rules with these key improvements, the board can protect New Mexicans from the acute and long-term impacts of oil and gas pollution and set the standard for other states and the Environmental Protection Agency as they consider methane reduction strategies.

Strong New Mexico rules will help make the case for EPA to improve its own rules to end routine flaring, require regular monitoring at all smaller, high-polluting and leak-prone wells, and work to incorporate emission monitoring results generated by community groups and other third parties into its standards.

The Environmental Improvement Board must seize the moment and adopt nation-leading air pollution rules to help build a better, healthier and more prosperous future for our communities and the world.

ometimes life is not fair, and you can’t do anything about it. But when it comes to receiving a grade you feel doesn’t reflect your work on an assignment, you don’t have to take injustice sitting down. Going up against a teacher is a scary proposition, and it often doesn’t feel right to argue even if you know you can, especially when a teacher seems to believe their word is beyond questioning.

You might need to contest a grade for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps the assignment instructions were unclear and you didn’t do exactly what the teacher wanted, or they changed their mind on how an assignment was being graded. Or maybe there simply was a misunderstanding that you don’t have the authority to fix yourself as a student.

It’s important to remember when contesting a grade that in the eyes of your teacher, you messed up in some way. Even if you’re right about an unfair assignment or a mistake, it doesn’t mean you’re going to have any say in the matter as a student. Whether you’re listened to or not, you still have the right to speak up for yourself and make your case. You owe it to yourself to try at least.

If you find yourself in the situation where you have to contest grades, there are steps you can take toward trying to get the final decision in your favor.

First, before anything else, make sure you actually know why you got the grade. If you have to ask a teacher why they graded you a certain way, that should be enough to start a discussion about the work in a constructive way.

Second, know for certain what instruction was given to you and your classmates. Make sure you did follow the instructions you had access to before approaching your teacher to make your case.

Be direct. If you do contest, make it clear that is what you are doing. In my experience, some teachers don’t want to deal with you. If you are not direct from the beginning, you might just get brushed off as asking a question about a past assignment.

If it comes down to an issue with clarity, interpreting the directions or a mistake the teacher made, make a case explaining your understanding with evidence. I stress that you need to be polite about it, no matter what.

I would strongly recommend going to talk to a teacher in person. It does require a lot more confidence and you can’t craft a carefully worded email from the safety of your couch, but it is easier to deal with things then and there, reaching a resolution quickly without much deliberation.

Contesting can be a battle, and you need to hold your ground. Teachers might need to be reminded of your perspective or what they said. Build a case first.

I have had situations where a teacher expects something but does not make it clear in the posted assignment instructions. Treat those written instructions as legal documents and hold people accountable for their words.

I have had professors whose excuse was, “I told you in lecture,” even though it was never written down on any official document. Go ahead, point that out. If a teacher expects something to be done a certain way, it will benefit everyone if the instructions are made crystal clear and accessible on the official mediums we use.

Hopefully your educators will work with you and make things right, but that is not always the case. Sometimes the people involved become spiteful or even unethical. I rarely have contested a grade with a teacher who is totally flexible and willing to change my grade right away. Some teachers do not appreciate having their mistakes pointed out and will fight you. You should be on your guard.

I have had professors who got incredibly defensive and closed to any form of protest, taking it as harsh criticism.

That’s why being polite is very important, and so is recognizing that contesting might not get you anywhere if the other party is unwilling to reason.

I’ve even had teachers revise the assignment instructions posted online after I contested them, preventing me from having any argument and leaving me with no leg to stand on. I have had teachers just refuse to listen to me or accuse me of lying. And while this is more of a college issue, I have had a professor be incredibly rude about me approaching them at all.

If it comes to something important and you are dealing with someone difficult, document everything. Create a folder on your computer and fill it with screenshots and any relevant information. Capture timestamps of online documents, a history of who has edited documents and when. This is a good practice for life in general. You have evidence, and you have proof of changes made.

Should talking to a teacher fail, there is nothing wrong with going to the administration. It sucks because it can ruin any respect with a teacher.

You should be there to learn, not argue about an assignment. It is a lengthy, irritating and tedious process. But fighting for a good grade sometimes has to be done. Be the person who causes responsible parties to double check and make sure that no issues exist for future students. Don’t be afraid to hold your professors and teachers responsible.

Good luck.

Why this season was the greatest of Super Bowl era

F

rom the NFL Kickoff Game all the way to Super Bowl LVI, this past season was filled with some of the most fun, memorable and competitive games of football that have ever been played. The NFL branded this season as its “biggest season ever,” as it was the first 18-week, 17-game season in NFL history, promising fans even more entertaining football.

There were several notable trades before the season started that fans knew would really shake up the landscape of the league.

The biggest trade, by far, was Detroit Lions Quarterback Matthew Stafford going to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for L.A. quarterback Jared Goff, a third-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft and first-round selections in the 2022 and 2023 drafts. After 12 years in Detroit with no wins in the playoffs, Stafford was brought in by the Rams to build a Super Bowl-winning team, as he has consistently been one of the game’s best quarterbacks despite being on one of the worst teams. Along with the fact that the Super Bowl took place at their home stadium this year, the trade gave the Rams a lot of motivation going into the season.

The season kicked off Sept. 9 in Tampa Bay, Fla., where the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers took on the Dallas Cowboys. Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady drove the Bucs downfield to set up a game-winning field goal in the last seconds of the game to beat the Cowboys, 31-29. This would end up being Brady’s final year of his career — and one of his best; he threw for 5,316 yards, 43 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions. Brady also became the NFL’s all-time passing and completions leader, as well as becoming the first player in NFL history to throw for 600 touchdowns. Brady finished the year second in MVP voting to Aaron Rodgers.

This season was so memorable in itself, but it now means a lot more knowing it was the greatest of all time’s last.

The most competitive year in NFL history was marked by several teams harboring

good chances to win the Super Bowl. With competitive balance as strong as ever, the season brought more upsets than we’ve seen in years. One of the biggest upsets and best games of the year took place Nov. 7, when the Denver Broncos, a 10-point underdog, gave the Dallas Cowboys one of the best beatdowns of the year.

The Broncos absolutely dominated in a 30-16 win, with all of Dallas’ points coming in the final minutes of the game against backup players. This game was also my favorite of the year as my sister is a Cowboys fan, and watching my Broncos absolutely destroy them again was the greatest feeling in the world.

This might have been the upset of the year had the Jacksonville Jaguars not beaten the Buffalo Bills on the same day, 9-6. The Bills were the No. 2 seed in the AFC at the time, while the Jags had only one win entering the game. The season was so competitive that it took a whole 15 weeks for a team, the Green Bay Packers, to finally clinch a playoff spot.

The playoffs actually weren’t set until the very last play of the season on Jan. 9, when the Las Vegas Raiders kicked a walk-off field goal in the final seconds of overtime to win 35-32 over the Los Angeles Chargers and seal a spot in the postseason.

If the Raiders had just let the game end in a tie, both teams would have made the playoffs. However, the two are fierce divisional rivals, and the Raiders opted to win the game to get themselves and the Steelers into the playoffs and knock the Chargers out.

The 2022 NFL playoffs were the greatest football fans have ever seen. After an uninteresting wild-card round drew complaints the postseason wasn’t going to be fun, the divisional round absolutely took the league by storm. Both No. 1 seeds lost, with the Tennessee Titans falling 19-16 to the fourthseeded Cincinnati Bengals, led by NFL Comeback Player of the Year Joe Burrow.

The Green Bay Packers, meanwhile, lost to the sixth-seeded San Francisco 49ers.

The next day, Brady and the second seed

Buccaneers almost completed a 24-point comeback against the Los Angeles Rams, the fourth seed, but ended up losing, 30-27, in what would be Brady’s last game.

The game many consider to be the game of the year came that night, with the No. 2 seed Kansas City Chiefs beating No. 3 seed Buffalo Bills, 42-36, in a thrilling overtime shootout.

The conference championship games proved to be exciting as well, with the Bengals coming back from a 21-3 deficit to beat the Chiefs 27-24 in overtime and win the AFC. The Rams won the NFC against their division rival, the 49ers, 20-17 after a last-second interception to seal the game for L.A. Super Bowl LVI promised to be one of the most memorable ever. It was the second time in Super Bowl history a team played in their home stadium and the first time in Super Bowl history that neither team was seeded higher than third. The Rams won their second Super Bowl in franchise history and the first since moving back to L.A. from St. Louis in 2016. The 23-20 game was capped off by a long drive orchestrated

by Stafford to give them the game and was won by a defensive play from Aaron Donald, pressuring Burrow into throwing the ball away on fourth down and winning the Super Bowl for the city of Los Angeles.

This NFL season was so special and memorable, and it’s one I’ll never forget.

One of my favorite players of all time, Von Miller, was traded to the Rams from the Broncos midseason, so it felt really great to see him win if he wasn’t going to win with us. These last few weeks without football have been horrible, as I was so hooked to the NFL this season that now I’m having serious withdrawals. I hope that next year lives up to this season, but that might be a bit hard, as we just witnessed the greatest season in NFL history.

A peek into the life of a legislative intern

I

still recall walking into the Roundhouse on my first day as a legislative intern, mesmerized by the magnitude of the Capitol and by the energy of staffers rushing from one responsibility to the next. I remember thinking how I would love to be surrounded by this daily.

This school year, I have had the honor of interning with Majority Floor Leader Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, and his right-hand woman, chief of staff Lorraine Montoya, during the 2021 special session and the 2022 legislative session. I went into it looking to gain a glimpse into the inner workings of politics and government as part of a high school elective class, made available to both Santa Fe High and Capital High students. I left with the experience of a lifetime.

Every Tuesday morning, I would head toward the Roundhouse, where Montoya and Wirth would assign me a task for the day, be it sitting in on a committee hearing, a meeting with lobbyists or, my personal favorite, being alongside Wirth on the Senate floor during bill debates.

There, I was able to hear the

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO

Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, speaks during the third reading of Senate Bill 198 on the Senate floor in February.

back-and-forth arguments as the bevy of sponsored bills tried to pass the Senate. During the floor hearing announcements, Wirth introduced me to all members of the chamber, and I felt incredibly special.

As part of my internship, I was also able to follow certain bills through their entirety as they made their way through both chambers, including Senate Bill 8, the Voting Rights Act, and Senate

Bill 43, prohibiting life without parole for a minor.

Ultimately, neither bill passed, but hearing the perspectives of both Democrats and Republicans regarding these issues was absolutely bewildering to me, as both sides had very compelling arguments as to why they were in support or not of the bill. It was enlightening to hear both sides of arguments instead of relying on my own bias on various issues.

However, not only was I learning during the session, I am continuously learning about all the things that make the Legislature run out of session as well. I have covered complex topics such as the state budget and the extraneous length of drafting a bill. Yet I still have so much to learn.

This experience was insanely eye-opening in terms of becoming more actively involved in my state government and learning the issues fellow civilians advocated for. Even during this short 30-day session, it seemed there was so much movement, and I would like to continue my involvement in the law.

Words can simply not express how much I enjoyed my time at the Legislature, and I especially appreciate Wirth and Montoya for giving me an opportunity I believe not many high schoolers have had. Maybe one day I, too, will have a seat at the lawmaking office as a state senator. Only time will tell, and in the meantime, I will continue to absorb all the information I can.

ter-century Thursday when the players’ association accepted management’s offer to salvage a 162-game season that will start April 7.

The work stoppage ended at 7 p.m. sharp, closing an acrimonious 99-day lockout that delayed spring training and threatened to cancel regular-season games for the first time since 1995.

NEW YORK — Major League Baseball’s players and owners ended their most bitter money fight in a quar-

CL A SS 3A BOYS

Arizona will open Friday, with players mandated to report by Sunday. Opening day was pushed back just over a week from its March 31 date, but all that might be forgotten when the Yankees’ Aaron Judge digs in against the rival Red Sox, or Shohei Ohtani eschews the new universal designated hitter and plays both ways for the Angels.

“I do want to start by apologizing to

our fans,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said, his voice quavering at times, later adding: “I hope that the players will see the effort we made to address their concerns in this agreement as an olive branch in terms of building a better relationship.”

A frenzy of free-agency action was expected. A freeze on roster transactions was dissolved Thursday night, spurring

a wave of speculation about new homes for Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman and more than 100 other free agents who had been kept in lockout limbo.

The deal brings major changes that include expansion of the DH to the National League, increasing the postseason from 10 teams to 12, advertisements Please see story on Page B-4

2-3A has dominant showing in semis

By James Barron jbarron@sfnewmexican.com

The Class 3A boys basketball semifinals are Friday, but it’s more of a block party for District 2-3A. Three of the four teams playing for a spot in the 3A championship game hail from that district. While Las Vegas Robertson and St. Michael’s were expected to make it this far, Santa Fe Indian School is bringing a hot-shooting team and a Cinderella story to the Rio Rancho Events Center as the 11th seed of the tournament.

The Braves get the pleasure of taking on the No. 2 Cardinals in a 1:30 p.m. semifinal, as Robertson looks to beat SFIS for a third time this season.

Meanwhile, fourth-seeded St. Michael’s, winners of 13 of its last 15 games, gets the matchup it missed out on during the regular season against No. 1 Socorro in a 7:30 p.m. contest.

The two teams were supposed to play in December, but the game was canceled and never rescheduled.

The semifinal winners will play in the 3A championship game at 2 p.m.

Saturday in The Pit. Socorro comes in as the hottest team in 3A, having won its last 12 games, including a 66-57 win over Crownpoint in the 3A quarterfinals Wednesday. The Horsemen are coming off a last-second win over No. 5 Navajo Prep, when Adam Montoya hit a baseline jumper with 7 seconds left for a 41-40 win.

Horsemen head coach Gerard Garcia said he feels the remaining district teams are well prepared for their semifinal games because of the rough-andtumble nature of 2-3A. All six district teams made it into the 3A bracket and half of them still remain.

“I’ll say this district, in all classes, is probably one of the top two districts, behind (1-5A) with Rio Rancho and Cleveland and Atrisco Heritage,” Garcia said. “Our district is tough from top to bottom.”

How tough? Well, the Braves won one district game, has an 11-15 record, yet still advanced to the semifinals thanks to a 64-63 buzzer-beating win over No. 3 Albuquerque Sandia Prep. The Braves’ magical elixir during its run has been perimeter shooting, especially the 13 treys they drained against the Sundevils.

Meanwhile, Robertson rolled through No. 15 Dexter and No. 7 Bosque School by an average margin of victory of 33 points.

As for the Horsemen, they are relying on tough defense that has allowed only three opponents to break 50 points over the past 10 games — Robertson twice and SFIS. It will be tested by one of the top two players in 3A in Warriors guard Adadrian “Duda” Jackson.

Santa Fe Indian School players celebrate on the court after the Lady Braves beat Tohacti 43-41 in Thursday’s Class 3A State Tournament semifinal in The Pit. SFIS will play Robertson in the championship game at 4 p.m. today in The Pit.

An old-fashioned win Lady Braves’ choice to simplify strategy pays off in semifinal win, setting up championship match with Robertson

By James Barron jbarron@sfnewmexican.com

ALBUQUERQUE anta Fe Indian School went old-school Thursday afternoon.

The Lady Braves kept their 2021-22 season alive not with some exotic defense or a well-drawn-up play, but by playing a simple game of catch. They passed the ball from one side of the court to the other, and caught the Tohatchi Lady Cougars flat-footed at the right time — the fourth quarter of the Class 3A semifinals in The Pit. Third-seeded SFIS played that game to the tune of a closing 10-2 run to take down No. 2 Tohatchi 43-41 to advance to its second state title matchup in the past four years. The Lady Braves (21-6) will play a familiar foe at 4 p.m. Friday, when it takes on District 2-3A foe and No. 1 Las Vegas Robertson for the 3A title in The Pit. The programs played each other in 2019 for the 3A title, which the Lady Cardinals won 62-46.

Robertson downed fifth-seed Crownpoint 51-37 in the morning semifinal to improve to 27-1 and set up a fourth matchup against the Lady Braves.

SFIS hopes to carry with them to the game against Robertson some of the words of assistant coach Terri Morrison, who coached the team in place of head coach Patricia Chavez after she was ejected from the team’s 50-45 win over Socorro on Tuesday.

It worked perfectly over the last 5:34 of the game,

as the Lady Braves hit all five shots from the field to overcome deficits of 36-30 and 39-33. The Lady Braves worked the ball around the horn against Tohatchi’s 2-3 zone, and found the open player.

Gonzaga, best program in college basketball, still missing one thing Despite their success, Bulldogs lack national title

By Chuck Culpepper Washington Post

LAS VEGAS, Nev. ere they come yet again, America, barreling out of the hush near the Washington-Idaho border to ride another one of those ornery roulette wheels of March.

Can they win it all?

Sure.

Can they not win it all?

Sure.

Are we a bunch of lunatics?

Sure.

H

We’re about to take the Gonzaga male Bulldogs, their peerless 20-6 NCAA Tournament record since 2015, their 253-28 record overall since 2015, their five No. 1 seedings in the last six years (four official, one unofficial), and we’re about to hold the freshly ritual discussion about what they lack.

They lack the national title even after two recent runs to the closing Monday, in 2017 and 2021, and two recent runs to the final eight, in 2015 and 2019, so that’s the thing now, because that’s how it works in a culture that prizes three

weeks in early spring over four months of hard winter. Even the mad people who dwell within the game, such as coaches, often give it away when warbling about their national championships above their other teams that might have been superior except that the mean old wheel chucked them from the fray one way or another.

In this situation, a coach such as Mark Few might reach for two truths and commit one mild foible after winning yet another West Coast Conference Tournament — it’s somewhere around 18 now; yeah, 18 — as Gonzaga did by 82-69 in a Please see story on Page B-3

Yeshiva ends unforgettable era Division III university’s unprecedented success captured national attention, accolades

By Luis Andres Henao and Jessie Wardarski Associated Press

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — On a Sabbath evening, the Yeshiva University men’s basketball team held hands in a circle at a hotel where they gathered for postgame. Smiling, the Maccabees sang in Hebrew: “When the month of Adar begins, joy increases!”

It was the start of what’s known as the happiest month in the Jewish calendar, when the joyful holiday of Purim takes place. It was also the start of March Madness. As the sun set, it was hard to tell that just a few hours before, there had been tears in the locker room — the Macs had lost the first game of the NCAA’s Division III tournament and a chance to realize their dream of a national championship.

It was the end of an unforgettable three-year, four-season era, in which the team representing an Orthodox Jewish institution grabbed national and international headlines and inspired the Jewish people at a time of growing antisemitism and a relentless pandemic.

The NBA congratulated them on Twitter in December when they built a 50-game winning streak. Yeshiva also was ranked No. 1 in Division III for the first time. The team won three Skyline Conference championships in four years and went on to the Division III tournament, where

last Friday they lost 63-59 to Johns Hopkins University.

In the locker room after the game, some players — and even their usually stoic coach — choked back tears. But they reminded each other that their achievements went beyond basketball. They made the Jewish people proud: Kids dressed up like them for Purim and pretended to be them in pickup games. The home crowd roared when they scored often wearing the skullcaps that identify them as Jewish. Their faithful fans followed them on the road or tuned in to live broadcasts of their games around the world.

“That’s historical stuff,” coach Elliot Steinmetz told them. The former Yeshiva player, who works full time as a lawyer, took the coaching job in 2014 with one goal: recruiting the best Jewish players nationwide. “That’s big-

ger than wins and losses,” he said.

The players came from across the United States and vary in observance of their faith — from Max Leibowitz, who leads them in prayer and gives them lessons inspired by the Torah before they go on the court, to Ofek Reef, a 6-foot junior from Texas who goes on the court without the skullcap, wearing tattoos and a Star of David-shaped earring, and captivates the crowds when he dunks over taller rivals.

The roster also includes Jordan Armstrong, a 6-foot-8 forward who wears a beard and a man bun and describes himself as a hippie from northern California, and Gabriel Leifer, who returned to play as a graduate student while he juggled a fulltime job at an accounting firm and became the team’s all-time leader in assists and rebounds.

All of them, though, are united

by their Jewish identity and their love of basketball.

The Macs were led by senior Ryan Turell, a 6-foot-7 point guard, who turned down Division I offers to play for the Orthodox school in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood because he wanted to be a “Jewish hero.”

Professional scouts took notice of his talent and followed him closely. ESPN and the New York Times profiled him when the Macs had the longest active winning streak in men’s basketball and he became the school’s — and for a while, the country’s — top scorer. His goal? To become the first Jewish Orthodox player in the NBA, so he can continue to inspire Jewish people “to stay proud.”

“It’s a dream come true,” Turell said. “The fact that people have pride to wear a kippah or be Jewish is what we set out to do, and we accomplished it.”

The game against Johns Hopkins came down to the final seconds. The Macs were losing 60-52 with less than a minute and a half left to play. Turell then led a comeback, scoring three straight free throws followed by a three-pointer. Trailing just by two with less than a minute on the clock, Turell had the tying shot but missed it and Johns Hopkins won, scoring on free throws. After the buzzer, Turell embraced every teammate on the court and congratulated them on an amazing season.

“It’s about Jewish pride. It’s really meaningful for myself and for the kids. They look at them like heroes,” said Daniel Hermann, who attended the game at Stockton University in Galloway, N.J., with three of his children.

coaching experience and more than 600 wins in Texas, said the game is often not as complex as some would like to believe.

“Basketball is really passing and catching, guys,” Morrison said. “At the end of the day, we overthink this and we give coaches too much credit, but they finally realized, ‘Let’s play catch.’ ” And it was a magnificent strategy. When Lady Cougars guard Brooke Badonie knocked down a 3-pointer for a 36-30 lead with 6:07 left to play, it appeared the Lady Braves might be reeling.

Instead, they were patient in moving the ball around the court before Jordyn Henry drained a sideline 3 for 36-33 with 5:47 that started the perfect shooting run.

Even after WynterRose Sheka knocked down her seventh 3-pointer of the game for a 39-33 lead, SFIS did not waver. Senior forward Taryn Aguilar answered with consecutive buckets in the paint to trim the margin to 39-37.

Jordan Torres missed a pair of free throws for the Lady Braves with 3:40 left, but Henry came up with the offensive board that set up the turning point of the game.

SFIS was patient on the ensuing possession, but almost too patient as junior guard Madisen Valdez passed up a good look at a 3 on the wing and sent the ball back to the top of the key.

The goal was to get a better shot.

“I didn’t want to be too selfish, and I felt someone would be more open than I was,” Valdez said.

She was right — except it turned out to be her as the ball came back to Valdez, but with an even wider opening than before. She did not hesitate as she knocked it down for a 40-39 lead for the Lady Braves with 3:14 left.

She answered again with a breakaway layup on a beautiful bounce pass by Torres in transition to up the lead to 42-39 and send the Lady Braves faithful into a frenzy.

Torres said the ball movement, which has been a problem at times for the Lady Braves, was key to the run.

“We played together as a team, get the reversal, because that was where it was most open,” Torres said.

But the Lady Cougars (22-7) weren’t done yet.

They had been in control for much of the game because of a hot start, hitting six of their first 14 shots, including five 3s, in the first quarter to take a 17-12 lead.

Sheka made SFIS pay for its inattention along the perimeter, going a perfect 7-for-7 from the perimeter, but the rest of

Osaka outlasts Stephens in three sets in her return to Indian Wells INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Naomi Osaka made a winning return to the BNP Paribas Open on Thursday, rallying to beat Sloane Stephens 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in a first-round meeting of former major champions.

Osaka, who won in 2018 at Indian Wells, is back in the desert for the first time since 2019. She hasn’t played a tournament since January when she lost in the round of 32 at the Australian Open.

Only having played a handful of events last year, her ranking has dropped to 78th in the world.

Trailing 2-0 in the third set, Osaka fought off three break points to hold and begin a run of six straight games to close out the match in just under two hours. She broke Stephens three times in the set, including at love in the sixth game.

Stephens, the 2017 U.S. Open winner, lost for the first time in three career meetings with Osaka. The American’s ranking has dropped to 38th, although she was coming off a win in the tournament at Guadalajara, Mexico, last month.

2-3A has dominant showing in semifinals Continued from Page B-1

The 5-foot-11 slashing guard leads the team with 24.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Garcia said Jackson might be the key to the Warriors’ success, but the rest of the team cannot be overlooked, and particularly Warran Chewiwi and Marcus Armijo. He said they can make opponents pay for focusing too much on Jackson by hitting jump shots that often come from the attention Jackson generates.

“He makes things happen, but we will be ready for him,” Garcia said. “You have to know [Jackson’s] whereabouts, but at the same time, you have to be aware of others on the team.”

In Class 2A, Pecos is one win away from making its fifth state championship appearance in the past six years if it can get past defending state champion Rehoboth Christian in a 2-versus-3 matchup at 5:30 p.m. in Rio Rancho. The Panthers are coming off a dominating 74-43 win over No. 7 Hagerman, marking the third time in the past six games Pecos has

Santa Fe Indian School guard Taryn Aguilar, left, and Jordyn Henry pull down the ball during Thursday’s semifinal win over Tohatchi in The Pit.

Santa Fe Indian School guard Madisen Valdez, right, battles for the ball with Tohatchi guard Marisa Denetso.

the team was just 2-for-15 from deep. After the strong start, Tohatchi made just nine of its last 36 shots, which contributed mightily to the Lady Braves’ 43-32 rebounding edge. There was also the 2-for-9 effort from the free-throw line that left too many points off the scoreboard.

“We had opportunities inside to finish,” Lady Cougars head coach Tanisha Bitsoi said. “The ball just didn’t roll our way. We always say all those little things, even the free throws, they all add up in the end. I didn’t expect Santa Fe Indian to shoot the ball that well, either.”

Still, when Kiana Bia collected a steal at midcourt and drove in for a layup with 2:30 left, the Lady Cougars were within 42-41.

Aguilar knocked down a free

throw 21 seconds later for a twopoint edge, but the last 2:09 were agony for both sides.

SFIS missed its last six free throws, while Tohatchi turned the ball over twice, missed its last three field-goal attempts and saw Crra Cecil miss a pair of free throws with 13.7 seconds remaining that could have tied the game.

Instead, it was the Lady Braves dancing at midcourt after Badonie airballed her desperation shot from 18 feet at the buzzer. Whether they get a chance to dance at midcourt against the Lady Cardinals depends on how well they share the ball.

Robertson showed why it has been the top team in 3A from the first tip-off of the season, using

relentless pressure to wear down Crownpoint in the morning semifinal. The Lady Eagles went scoreless for a 6:12 stretch, and the Lady Cardinals scored nine unanswered points to take a 15-7 lead before Kaleigh Shorty hit a 3 from the top of the key with 5:14 left in the second quarter.

Crownpoint never got closer than five, and Robertson used a 9-0 run in the third quarter that turned a 30-25 lead into a 39-35 advantage that was never threatened.

The Lady Cardinals had 16 steals and forced 22 Lady Eagles turnovers, while holding a whopping 46-24 rebounding edge.

“I think our defensive pressure in the third quarter to where we were able to open the lead to double digits,” Robertson head coach Jose “Majic” Medina said.

“When we switched off from zone press to man-to-man press.

Our defensive pressure was able to get some easy steals to get us some easy baskets.”

Morrison is well aware of the Lady Cardinal’s tenacity, having lost to them three times during the District 2-3A sesaon, including the 2-3A championship game. In fact, she mused that Robertson was already harassing the Lady Braves even before the opening tip.

“They probably are pressing us right now, and we don’t even know it,” Morrison said. “That’s the kind of defensive scheme they have.”

But even the best defenses are susceptible. Sometimes it just takes the simplest of philosophies to break them down — like a game of catch.

fine fight Tuesday night with Madness-bound St. Mary’s.

Truth No. 1: It’s hard to get those seedings.

At least twice Tuesday night, he combed through those No. 1 seedings — “So that’s ’17, ’19, ’20, ’21 and ’22,” he said — a truth even given the grim cancellation of ’20.

“Everybody focuses on the NCAA Tournament,” he said accurately, “but remember, to be a No. 1 seed, that’s a reward for four months of going out, and especially the way we schedule, playing the best of the best, and then battling everybody in our conference that gives you their best effort, their crowds’ best effort of the year when they play us, when everybody’s looking to knock us off and storm the floor.”

For those non-freaks, that’s 26-3 this year, with wins over Texas, UCLA, Texas Tech and that admirable Bellarmine, the losses to Duke (by 84-81), Alabama (by 91-82) and St. Mary’s (by 67-57), all adding up to an overall seeding set to be No. 1.

And he might go for the old fresh-puzzle angle, also a truth.

Every year really is a fresh puzzle.

“I think one of the biggest overlooked things this whole season, being ranked No. 1 this preseason, was how much we lost,” Few said. “I mean, we lost three guys to the NBA,” and by that he meant Jalen Suggs picked fifth to Orlando, Corey Kispert 15th to Washington and Joel Ayayi to a seven-game stopover in Washington. “And you looked out when we started practice in the fall. Obviously Chet [Holmgren, the 7-foot freshman ranked No. 1 among 2021 recruits] gets a lot of attention, but he’s new. He’s a freshman.

He’s new to our program. Rasir’s [Bolton] new to our program.

Hunter’s [Sallis] new to our program. Nolan’s [Hickman] new to our program.”

Other kingpins have years when all that newness doesn’t work, when it somehow spills all over the chemistry lab. Gonzaga doesn’t.

But then, a coach who hasn’t missed the Sweet 16 since 2014 might lapse into finding the Sweet 16 normal. From the trophy dais amid Orleans Arena, with the Gonzaga throng roaring from the stands like normal days, Few said into

beaten an opponent by at least 30 points.

Rehoboth had to shake off a determined Jal squad in the quarterfinals that was a rematch of last spring’s 2A title game, as the Lynx prevailed 49-47.

The winner plays either No. 5 Albuquerque Menaul or No. 1 Tularosa in an 8 a.m. championship game in The Pit. On the girls side of the 2A bracket, the 9:30 a.m. game is a District 5-2A battle between No. 4 Peñasco and No. 1 Escalante. After a 3-2 start to the season, the Lady Lobos have won 19 of its last 21 games and only one to an in-state team. That just happened to be the Lady Panthers, who played with patience in beating Escalante 39-30 on Feb. 12.

Peñasco is seeking to advance to its second 2A championship game in the past three seasons, having played in the 2020 title game — a 69-54 loss to Mescalero Apache.

The winner will take on either No. 6 Laguna-Acoma or No. 2 Clayton for the 2A title at 4 p.m. in The Pit.

the microphone, “It’s incredible how our fans travel. There’s nobody that travels like this on the West Coast.”

Then he gave those fans further geographical encouragement for the NCAA Tournament by saying, “And we’re going to Portland, we’re going to San Francisco.”

That might perk the ears of any coach of a No. 8 or No. 9 seed that gets stationed on a bracket opposite Gonzaga in Portland (first two rounds), striving to get to San Francisco (Sweet 16 and Elite Eight).

His team had just exhibited why such talk seems acceptable, by weathering San Francisco (24-9) and St. Mary’s (25-7), two tournament-bound teams in a league risen to combat near-eternal derision driven in part by eternal Eastern bias. When inconvenienced against St. Mary’s, a 12-point lead pared to two with 7:20 left and Holmgren seated with four fouls, Gonzaga had other shiny guys.

Guards Andrew Nembhard, the mainstay from that risen basketball source everyone calls Canada, and Bolton, from Massanutten Military Academy in Virginia and then Penn State and then Iowa State, led it through the mire and above the muck. Then Nembhard talked like Gonzagans talk, speaking of “trying to read the game,” and “keeping my head down,” and, “I love making plays for this team,” and, after the Most Outstanding Player award, “I’m not big on getting recognition, it’s nice to get recognition every so often.”

Such sentiments ring true through the basketball, often brisk and beautiful and prone to having the ball move around the court, and by the tenor, as with mustachioed face-of-program Drew Timme giving his teammates standing-Os from the bench in closing minutes while Gonzaga protected a lead.

Then they stayed around for a trophy presentation as they do as part of national habits. For 24 years, they have appeared before the country in at least five iterations. They had the where’s-that darling phase around the turn over the century, the phase of limited seeding respect in the early century, the phase of higher seedings but round-of-32 exits up until 2014, the phase of great players inbound from all over the planet like some kingdom with Final Fours not even darling, and now the phase of Best Program Lacking A You-know-what.

Last Q. Mar. 25

WNBA star and Olympian Brittney Griner’s detention in Russia raises all sorts of questions.

Is she a political prisoner in the standoff between two superpowers? Is she being treated like anyone else who violated the law in a foreign country?

ERIC GAY ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

country where she reportedly makes more than $1 million a year even as the U.S. State Department advised against it with the threat of war looming.

The most immediate concern is Griner’s well-being.

The specifics of her case have been hard to come by, from both sides. Griner was taken into custody in mid-February at a Moscow airport, but the news was kept under wraps until a Russian news agency revealed it more than two weeks later, after the invasion of Ukraine was underway.

The Griner camp clearly wanted to keep the case out of the public eye until the two-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time WNBA all-star was safely ferried out of Russia.

Even now, those closest to the player have been reticent to make any comment beyond her agent confirming Griner was detained after Russian customs officials said they found vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis in her luggage.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Griner’s wife, Cherelle, thanked everyone for their support of the star player, but said little else in an Instagram post.

This wouldn’t be the first time a high-profile person has essentially been taken hostage by a country in the pursuit of larger foreign-relations goals.

Just this week, Venezuela released two Americans who had been imprisoned in the South American country over dubious charges, not so coincidentally as President Nicolás Maduro signaled a desire for improved relations with the U.S. One of those released, oil

executive Gustavo Cardenas, was imprisoned for more than four years in Venezuela. He described the experience as a “nightmare.”

At the moment, there is no indication that Griner is being held on trumped-up charges.

Maybe this was just a lapse in judgment, which has put her at risk of being subjected to stricter punishments for cannabis oil under Russian law.

But the war in Ukraine certainly complicates matters, at least raising the possibility that Russia is dragging its feet on Griner’s case to give Putin a potential bargaining chip in a negotiated settlement or to lessen the sting of crushing economic sanctions.

The State Department can designate someone as as a “wrongful detainee,” entitling an American citizen to far more resources than a standard criminal case in another country.

It doesn’t appear Griner has been placed in that category, at least not yet. Strict Russian guidelines on COVID-19 have likely extended Griner’s period of isolation, making it tougher for the U.S. consulate to get a full picture of the case.

Hopefully, in the very near future, Griner will be back home with her loved ones, this nightmare behind her.

Until then, let’s keep her at the forefront of our concerns.

Griner’s fate is far more important than the new baseball labor deal, or who makes the NCAA Tournament, or pretty much anything else happening in the fantasy world of sports.

This is real life.

many people in the United States who would say, ‘LeBron James, who is he?’ But there’s still a fairly high number who would say, ‘Brittney Griner, who is she?’ ” Sheehan is more troubled by another reality of this case.

Griner was taken into custody while heading back to Russia to play in a league that greatly augments her WNBA salary, a puny outlay in comparison to what the best male athletes are making.

While this is certainly apples to oranges, Griner’s annual pay for a four-month stint with the Phoenix Mercury is $228,000 (and probably closer to $500,000 with endorsement deals) — a comfortable living, to be sure, but not even a third of what big league players were asking for as a minimum salary in their negotiations with baseball’s owners.

“LeBron James makes a very good living in the United States without ever having to set foot outside the United States,” Sheehan said. “But women basketball players can make a hell of a lot more money playing in places like Russia than they can in the United States.”

While salaries have certainly improved in the WNBA — roughly half of the league’s players no longer feel compelled to play overseas — it’s still a choice that no modern-day NBA player has to make.

In a perfect world, no WNBA player would ever have to make it, either.

But we’re a long way from that world.

Just last season, the New York Liberty were fined a WNBA-record $500,000 for chartering flights to away games. The league typically doesn’t allow teams to charter flights because it could create a competitive advantage for franchises that can afford to pay for them.

Given the WNBA’s still-shoestring budget, it’s easy to see why Griner was headed back a

Fronts:

Griner case again exposes male-female gap in sports he strange case of Brittney Griner raises all sorts of perplexing questions.

Is one of the best women basketball players in the world a political pawn in the standoff between two antagonistic superpowers? Is she being treated like anyone else who allegedly violated drug laws in a foreign land? Is she safe in the hands of Vladimir Putin’s Russia?

But one thing is clear: Griner’s weekslong detention by Russian authorities has again directed a troubling spotlight toward the glaring inequities that exist between the top male and female athletes in the United States.

Just imagine if one of the best male basketball players on the planet — say, LeBron James — was being held in Russia under similar circumstances, especially with that country now scorned by much of the world for its unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

The media coverage would be 24/7.

The public outrage would be off the charts.

Griner’s case has drawn concern, to be sure, but it largely remains buried behind Major Leagues Baseball’s silly labor dispute, the homestretch of the NBA season, the launch of March Madness in college hoops, and an NFL offseason featuring headline-grabbing moves like Calvin Ripley’s suspension and Russell Wilson’s trade.

Richard Sheehan, a finance professor at Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business who specializes in sports economics, said he’s not surprised that male sports continue to get more coverage than Griner’s case.

“Obviously, if this was LeBron James, more people would notice,” Sheehan said. “There’s not too

MLB Continued from Page B-1

on uniforms, a balanced schedule that reduces intradivision play starting in 2023 and measures aimed to incentivize competition and decrease rebuilding, such as an amateur draft lottery. Most of the labor fight, of course, centered on the game’s core economics.

The players’ executive board approved the five-year contract at about 3 p.m. in a 26-12 vote.

Owners ratified the deal 30-0 just three hours later, and just like that, baseball’s ninth work stoppage ended.

Not that all is resolved.

Union head Tony Clark did not appear alongside Manfred and scheduled a separate news conference for Friday, a visible sign of the sport’s factions.

“Our union endured the second-longest work stoppage in its history to achieve significant progress in key areas that will improve not just current players’ rights and benefits, but those of generations to come,” Clark said in a statement.

Manfred pledged “maybe to more regularly get to the bottom of player concerns so that they don’t build up.”

“I spoke to Tony after their ratification vote. I told him that I thought we had a great opportunity for the game in front of us.” Manfred said. “One of the things that I’m supposed to do is promote a good relationship with our players. I’ve tried to do that. I think that I have not been successful in that. I think that it begins with small steps.”

Players’ pictures that had been scrubbed from the league’s website were restored. Teams tweeted videos and statements celebrating the lockout’s end and sharing info about tickets for the new opening day.

The 184 games canceled by Manfred were instead postponed, and the regular season was extended by three days to Oct. 5. Approximately three games per team will be made up as part of doubleheaders.

With pitchers Max Scherzer and Andrew Miller taking prominent roles as union spokesmen, players let three management deadlines pass —

Manfred called them “the art of collective bargaining” — before accepting an agreement before the fourth.

While the union’s executive subcommittee voted 8-0 against the deal — all earned $3.5 million or more last year — player representatives were in favor by 26-4.

“Time and economic leverage. No agreement comes together before those two things play out,” Manfred said.

“I think we made an agreement when it was possible to make an agreement.”

After narrowing the gap this week, MLB made another offer Thursday afternoon, saying this was the absolute, final, last moment to preserve full salary and service time.

“The deal pushes the game forward,” Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole, a member of the union’s executive subcommittee, said in an telephone interview with the AP. “It addresses a lot of the things that the players in the game should be focused on: the competitive integrity aspect of it.”

The union especially wanted to boost pay of young players and enourage teams not to delay their debuts in order to push back free agency.

Under the new postseason format, two division winners from each league receive firstround byes and the remaining four teams play in a best-ofthree wild card round.

The deal allows teams to have advertising on uniforms and helmets for the first time and established a fast-track MLB-dominated rules committee that could recommend a pitch clock and limits on defensive shifts starting in 2023. Tiebreaker games for playoff berths have been eliminated, replaced by mathematical formulas.

The luxury tax threshold rises from $210 million last year to $230 million this season, the largest yearly increase since that restraint began in 2003.

The threshold rises to $244 million by 2026, a loosening for the biggest spenders such as the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers and Red Sox. The 3 percent annual growth is well over the 2.1 percent during the expired contract and the 1.2 percent in the 2011 deal.

The land is currently leased for livestock grazing and contains easements for a railroad, an electric transmission line, a fiber optic line and an oil pipeline. The lands are adjacent to lands held in federal trust for the benefit of the Ft. Sill Apache Tribe, as to which the Ft. Sill Apache tribe exercises governmental jurisdiction. At the request of the Ft. Sill Apache Tribe and because of the cultural and historical connection with the Ft. Sill Apache Tribe, the SLO has proposed a land exchange in which it would convey the state trust lands to the Ft. Sill Apache Tribe in exchange for lands of equal or greater value having the potential for commercial development and thereby providing greater income potential to the trust land beneficiary, which is New Mexico public schools.

If the SLO makes a final decision to proceed with an exchange, the Commissioner of Public Lands would execute an exchange agreement providing for a conveyance of the state trust lands subject to a reservation to the State of New Mexico of all minerals and geothermal resources in, under or upon the Land. The SLO may offer a negative easement or surface non-disturbance agreement with regard to the reserved minerals and geothermal resources.

If you have any questions please contact Tarin Nix, Deputy Commissioner of Public Affairs, at 505-470-2965 or email tnix@slo.state.nm.us..

D EA R A N N I E

Messiness could be a red flag Dear Annie: I am a licensed professional counselor writing in response to “Cleaning the Chaos,” the woman who was sick of cleaning up after her boyfriend. The boyfriend, “Denny,” the apparent slob, has the classic signs of attention deficit disorder. Does he lose things? Does the wife spend time helping him find things?

A counselor who specializes in ADD would be able to discern whether there is a physical reason behind the mess. A diagnosis would not be an excuse but an explanation. If a diagnosis is made, there are proven ways to help Denny and his wife work together to put some order in their lives if they both are willing to work on the problem. — Seen It Before Dear Seen It Before: Thank you for your valuable perspective. I have heard from readers who say that taking medication has been like night and day in terms of making a difference in their ability to focus. I’m sure your letter struck a chord with readers who may also be experiencing frustration with “messy” partners.

Seeking professional advice is always a good idea.

Dear Annie: Here is a tip for “Stuff Addict,” who has been struggling with hoarding for years and wants to take the steps forward to change her life. A friend of our family had the same issue, and this was really effective for her.

She got my sister, who is also a friend of hers, to help her go through everything in the house and get rid of things. They did not do it all at once because that would have been too difficult, but my sister went once a month for three hours and then helped her cart everything away. Stuff Addict needs to find one friend she trusts to help her and set a regular schedule, just like a doctor’s appointment. Without the support, our friend would never have taken any steps. — Two Is Better Than One Dear Two: Thank you for your letter.

I absolutely agree. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and overburdened when we face obstacles like this alone. Whether it’s a family member, friend or neighbor, if “Stuff Addict” is willing to let someone in, they’ll surely feel the load’s a little lighter with the support and encouragement of another.
