Ruling says doctors cannot be prosecuted for prescribing medications to help end lives

Competent, terminally ill patients have a fundamental right under the New Mexico Constitution to seek a physician’s help in getting pre-
scription medications if they want to end their lives on their own terms, a state district judge ruled Monday. Second Judicial District Judge Nan Nash said the constitution prohibits the state from depriving a person of life, liberty or property without due process. “This court cannot envision a right more fundamental, more private or more integral to the liberty, safety and happiness of a New Mexican than the right of a competent, terminally ill
patient to choose aid in dying,” the judge wrote. Nash also ruled that doctors could not be prosecuted under the state’s assisted suicide law, which classifies helping with suicide as a fourthdegree felony. The plaintiffs in the case do not consider physicians aiding in dying a form of suicide. The New Mexico Attorney General’s Office said it is discussing the possibility of an appeal

Sparks fly over state budget
U.S. schools grapple with mental health screenings By Kelli Kennedy
The Associated Press
MIAMI — After his father was diagnosed with cancer, a 15-year-old Champaign, Ill., teen started skipping school, erupting in angry outbursts, yelling at teachers and punching holes in walls or retreating to his room paralyzed by an overwhelming sadness. When the teen’s assistant principal approached him a few months ago about seeking help for mental illness, the student initially declined, saying he didn’t need it. However, eventually he did seek treatment. Diagnosed with major depressive disorder, he joined group therapy sessions at his school. As stories about increasing school violence dominate headlines, experts say many teens are struggling with untreated mental illness. Yet, school officials around the country are themselves grappling with the best way to offer mental health services in a patchwork, underfunded system. “We have [schools] screening for all kinds of rare infectious diseases, and then we don’t screen for common behavioral disorders that are costly to the individual, the family and society in terms of health care utilization, crime cost and high risk of death. … It doesn’t

Young adults off pace in signing up for health plans
Unreimbursed Medicaid expenses part of shortfall that threatens budgeting process By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

By Amy Goldstein and Sandhya Somashkehar The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Young adults account for slightly less than one-fourth of the Americans who signed up for health plans during the initial three months of federal and state insurance marketplaces — fewer so far than the government has said will be needed to make the economics of the new exchanges work. The figures, part of a monthly progress report on the marketplaces that was issued Monday, offer the first glimpse into whether the health plans available under the Affordable Care Act are becoming provinces of the old and sick or are managing to attract young, healthy people who have not previously considered insurance worthwhile. According to the report, released by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 24 percent of the nearly 2.2 million people who enrolled in the marketplaces through the end of December are between the ages of 18 and 34. One-third are 55 to 64 years old. The figures mean that the proportion of young adults is lagging behind what both government and outside health-policy analysts have said will be required for the

onfusion regarding up to $100 million in unrealized federal reimbursements sparked fiery exchanges between New Mexico lawmakers and the governor’s budget office on Monday. One week away from the 30-day legislative session to craft New Mexico’s fiscal year 2015 budget, the shortfall that the state has been grappling with for more than two years continues to be a problem. And State Controller Ricky Bejarano said it isn’t likely to be reconciled in time to be fully addressed this year. At stake are tens of millions of dollars that for the second time in three years could be sapped from the state

NATION&WORLD By Aron Heller
NEW YORK — The stock market had its worst day of the year so far, extending a January slump. Stocks dropped Monday as falling oil prices pushed down energy stocks. The prospect of the Federal Reserve further cutting back on its economic stimulus also weighed on the market. Stocks are falling back this year after exceptional gains pushed the market to record levels in 2013. Investors’ confidence that the economy was recovering was jolted Friday by a weak employment report that showed far fewer jobs were added in December than economists had forecast. Unlike last year, investors have so far been reluctant to buy stocks when the market has slumped. Instead they appear to be waiting for more news before committing, said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital. “At these high levels, people aren’t going to step in” until they get more evidence of earnings growth or better economic news, Cardillo said. Energy stocks were among the biggest decliners, dropping 1.9 percent after the price of oil slumped close to its lowest in eight months. Exxon Mobil fell $1.97, or 2 percent, to $98.55.

JERUSALEM riel Sharon was laid to rest Monday at his ranch in southern Israel as the nation bid a final farewell to one of its most colorful and influential leaders — a man venerated by supporters as a warrior and statesman but reviled in the Arab world as a war criminal. After Israeli politicians and international dignitaries honored Sharon, the military funeral carried a more personal tone, with Sharon’s two sons eulogizing their father as an inspiration for the nation. Sharon died on Saturday, eight years after a devastating stroke removed the prime minister from office and left him in a coma from which he never recovered. He was 85. His younger son, Gilad, re-enacted his final moments: in a hospital room, with music playing, family members chatting and his grandchildren running about. With hundreds of officials and everyday Israelis on hand, Sharon’s other son, Omri, addressed his father a final time. “Look around, and see the nation gathering around this hilltop. Look and see how they thank you for guarding them. How they appreciate

One of Israel’s greatest and most divisive figures, Sharon rose through the ranks of the military, moving into politics and overcoming scandal and controversy to become prime minister. He spent most of his life battling Arab enemies and promoting Jewish settlement on war-won lands. But in a surprising about-face, he led a historic withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, uprooting all soldiers and settlers from the territory

Egypt holds vote in climate of fear CAIRO — Egyptians are being asked to vote this week on a vision of their nation’s future sponsored by the powerful military, a two-day election widely seen as a referendum on a likely presidential run by the country’s top general — but held in a climate of fear and intimidation. An astounding 160,000 soldiers and 200,000 policemen were expected to deploy across Egypt on Tuesday and Wednesday to guard polling stations and voters following months of violence that authorities have blamed on Islamic militants. Supporters of Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist president ousted in a coup last summer, have said they would stage massive demonstrations and boycott the vote on a new constitution. The referendum is the sixth

France’s president hits new bump PARIS — A sex scandal is the last thing France’s president needs. Three-quarters of the French already think François Hollande is doing a lousy job of running the world’s No. 5 economy. And now a big policy address Tuesday is sure to be overshadowed by personal troubles. His first lady, journalist Valerie Trierweiler, is hospitalized because of a tabloid report that Hollande is having an affair with a somewhat recognizable French actress. Hollande is a lifelong bachelor, though he has four children with former presidential candidate Segolene Royal. He and Trierweiler have lived together since 2007, and while they’re unmarried, Trierweiler functions as the first lady. While the French often say they don’t care about their leaders’ pri-

after a 38-year presence in a move he said was necessary to ensure Israel’s security. His backers called him a hero, remembering his daring exploits that helped turn the tide of the 1973 Mideast war in Israel’s favor and, after becoming prime minister, his harsh crackdown that helped end a violent Palestinian uprising. His detractors held him responsible for years of bloodshed. They remember his role in a 1953 commando raid that killed 69 Arabs in the West Bank, and as the mastermind of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
“He has prepared the foundation for further conflict and undermined the chances of peace,” said Hanan Ashrawi, a Palestinian official. Earlier Monday in the state ceremony, VIPs eulogized Sharon as a fearless warrior and bold leader who devoted his life to protecting Israel’s security. “He was indomitable,” U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said. “But like all historic leaders, all real leaders, he had a north star that guided him. His north star was the survival of the state of Israel and the Jewish people wherever they resided.”

New law in Nigeria bans gay meetings LAGOS, Nigeria — A new law in Nigeria, signed by the president without announcement, has made it illegal for gay people to even hold a meeting. The Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act also criminalizes homosexual clubs, associations and organizations, with penalties of up to 14 years in jail. The act has drawn international condemnation from countries such as the United States and Britain. Some Nigerian gays already have fled the country because of intolerance of their sexual persuasion, and more are considering leaving, if the new law is enforced, human rights activist Olumide Makanjuola said recently.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A state lawmaker proposed Monday that California extend its requirement that gun buyers undergo background checks and register their weapons to anyone who assembles a firearm in their home. The legislation by state Sen. Kevin de Leon is part of a growing effort across the country to pre-empt the spread of undetectable guns that can be made using 3-D printers. His bill also would apply to anyone who buys parts that can be assembled into a gun. De Leon said he is trying to address a twin threat from what he called “ghost guns” — plastic guns that can slip through metal detectors and unregistered weapons that can fall into the hands of people who are legally prohibited from owning firearms under state law. “Currently, no one knows they exist until after a crime has been committed,” said de Leon. That was the case for John Zawahri, who assembled his own military-style assault rifle and killed five people in Santa Monica in a June rampage even after he was barred from legally buying a gun in California because of mental health issues. His bill, SB 808, would allow the manufacture or assembly of homemade weapons, but require the makers to first apply to the state Department of Justice for a serial number that would be given only after the applicants undergo a background check. The number would have to be engraved on or otherwise permanently attached to the weapon within one day of its manufacture. He plans to amend the bill to also require that the guns contain permanent pieces of metal that could be detected by X-ray machines and metal detectors, a proposal that was blocked in the federal legislation. Some plastic guns currently comply with the federal law by including a metal piece that can be removed, which potentially would allow them to be slipped through security screeners. The National Rifle Association did not oppose the 10-year extension of the federal plastic firearms ban, but opposes any expansion of the law at either the federal or state level. Currently available technology allows consumers to download a gun’s design plans to a computer and then build it on a three-dimensional printer with no background checks.

Feds probe use of Sandy funds for N.J. ads starring Christie By Carol D. Leonnig
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — As New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie tries to control the damage from a major bridge scandal and a federal investigation involving his top aides, federal auditors are launching a separate inquiry into his administration’s use of federal disaster recovery funds for an ad campaign. The auditors are probing why the Christie administration
awarded a lucrative $23 million contract to a well-connected firm to produce tourism ads starring the governor and his family. The Christie administration is already under federal investigation since revelations last week that key deputies appeared to needlessly close down lanes serving a major bridge and thoroughfare in northern New Jersey. Emails released to the press last week showed the aides joking about enjoying the ensuing traffic tie-up, and investigators
ANALYSIS
In Congress, leaders face pivotal week By Paul Kane
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Congress heads into a pivotal week on a trio of bills that would reshape how the federal government props up aid to the unemployed and to the farm industry, while also making good on a pledge to keep federal agencies open without the brinksmanship of the recent past. Some of the talks, however, will serve as tests of the power for the two leading figures on Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. For Reid, the key test comes on the handling of the debate over legislation to extend emergency unemployment benefits for the long-time jobless. Rather than just a policy debate, the federal unemployment program has turned into a proxy fight over how Reid runs the Senate amid Republican accusations that he has turned into a legislative bully who will not let them offer amendments. “We have one person here who runs the place and says, ‘I will decide whether your amendment is not reasonable,’ ” Sen. Daniel Coats, R-Ind., said during a heated debate last week. On his second stint in the Senate, after initially retiring in 1999, Coats sounded like a senator who almost regretted running again in 2010. “This is 100 percent different from the time I was here the first time. We were able to offer any amendment to any bill at any time,” he said. That came after Reid’s proposal to extend the unemployment benefits program to midNovember but shut down the GOP’s ability to offer any amendments because he accused them of offering “gotcha” proposals designed to score political points. “The time is now to fish or cut bait,” Reid said, responding to the criticism. “I know what the Senate used to be because I was a used-to-be senator, and it doesn’t work the way it used to, not because of anything we do wrong but because of the obstruction of President [Barack] Obama’s agenda.” The Senate postponed a pair of test votes on stalled unemployment legislation on Monday after Reid met privately with Republican Sens. Dean Heller of Nevada and Susan Collins of Maine, who proposed adding a provision to the bill to restore full cost of living benefits to military retirees under the age of 62. Lawmakers voted to curtail the increases late last year, and now face enormous pressure from veterans groups to reverse themselves. In remarks on the Senate floor, Reid did not mention the veterans, but said he hoped an agreement was possible on the unemployment issue. The agreement to postpone the test votes until at least Tuesday afternoon prevented the current standoff from hardening, because there was little prospect that Reid and supporters of the bill could have amassed the 60 votes needed to prevail. Boehner’s move comes on the emerging farm bill, which has been stuck for more than two years during ideological and regional disputes over crop supports and cuts to nutrition programs such as food stamps. The speaker, whose hold on legislative power has wobbled for three years, has staked his reputation on knocking out what he calls “a Soviet style” program of dairy price supports. “I have fought off the supply management ideas for 23 years that I’ve been in Congress, and my position hasn’t changed. And
Mr. Peterson and others are well aware of it,” Boehner told reporters Thursday, referring to Rep. Collin Peterson of Minn., the top Democrat on the Agriculture Committee. At issue is to what extent the government should step in to manage milk supplies and support dairy farmers during a downturn. Dairy farmers generally back more government help, but dairy processors — who use milk to make cheese, yogurt and ice cream — oppose the change. Boehner supports the processors and has threatened to block the bill from consideration in the House if it includes the program. But Democrats working on the bill insist that the program must be included to ensure the bill’s passage. Peterson predicted that the bill will sail to passage, with the dairy provision in place. “Everybody wants this over with,” Peterson said. “People are coming up to me to say, ‘I wasn’t sure I’d vote for this, but we need to get this over with.’ If we can just get this finalized and get it on the floor, it’s going to pass.” House and Senate negotiators have otherwise reached accord on crop insurance programs and roughly $9 billion in cuts to the federal food-stamp program, but they remain deadlocked over government support for the dairy industry, according to several aides familiar with the talks. Those two battles come as members of the House and Senate appropriations committees are putting the finishing touches on a detailed $1 trillion outline for federal agency budgets for fiscal year 2014. That comes a month after a deal hatched by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., that set a budget framework for the next two years. With a new top-line figure for overall agency spending, the appropriators can much more easily come to terms with how to divvy up the cash. Still, the effort has been grueling in recent weeks. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
are looking at whether the closing was part of a plot to retaliate against a Democratic mayor who had declined to endorse Christie’s re-election bid. And Democrats in the New Jersey state Assembly announced Monday that they are launching a special investigative committee to question more members of the Christie administration about the bridge closures. The timing of the federal new probe, which is focused on the
use of federal superstorm Sandy recovery funds for a tourism marketing campaign, appears to be coincidental. In August, Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., called the use of the funds for the ad campaign “extremely troubling” and asked the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s inspector general to look into why Christie had approved using Sandy recovery funds to highlight himself during an election year. The request came on the
heels of an article about the marketing contract’s high cost in a local paper, the Asbury Park Press. Last week, as Christie was fielding a flood of criticism and questions about his knowledge of the snarled bridge traffic, the inspector general’s office notified Pallone that it had found enough credible evidence to begin a full audit of the ads. “I commend the HUD Office of the Inspector General for investigating whether the state properly utilized taxpayer funds
for this marketing campaign,” Pallone said Monday. “Working with my New Jersey colleagues, we had to fight hard to get the Sandy aid package passed by assuring others in Congress the funding was desperately needed and would be spent responsibly.” The N.J. Economic Development Authority, a Cabinet-level agency in the Christie administration that oversees state and federal funds meant to encourage commerce and economic revitalization, awarded the contract.

White House and Senate are controlled by different parties. Senate Republicans’ refusal to allow votes for nominees to the NLRB and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau led Obama to make the temporary, or recess, appointments in January 2012. Three federal appeals courts have said Obama overstepped his authority because the Senate was not in recess when he acted. The Supreme Court case involves a dispute between a Washington state bottling company and a local Teamsters union in which the NLRB sided with the union. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned the board’s ruling, and hundreds more NLRB rulings could be voided if the Supreme Court upholds the appeals court decision.

Plans: Obama officials remain optimistic Continued from Page A-1 exchanges to remain stable. Analyses have concluded that, to prevent health plans’ premiums from rising and some insurers from potentially dropping out, roughly 2 in 5 Americans in the plans should be young adults. In releasing the report, Obama administration officials were upbeat. The latest enrollment figures are “solid, solid news for us,” a senior administration official told reporters at a White House briefing. The officials predicted that the health plans would attract more young adults during the second half of the open enrollment period for this year, which continues through March. Still, the report’s numbers increase the significance of outreach efforts designed to persuade young people to sign up. Whether sufficient numbers of young people will do so, despite the law’s requirement that most Americans have coverage or face a financial penalty, has been an uncertainty hovering over the law. Administration officials said Monday that their plans to intensify promotional efforts aimed at young adults will focus on two dozen communities in states such as Texas that rely on the federal marketplace and have especially large uninsured populations. Health-policy specialists and industry officials said it is too early to know whether the enrollment patterns will shift in the next few months, although Republicans wielded the new figures as their latest weapon to condemn the federal health care law. “Youth enrollment has been a bust so far,” said Brendan Buck, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Larry Levitt, senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said the proportion of young people “is lower than would be ideal.” Still, he said, the proportion was “encouraging,” given that people have another 2½ months to enroll and that the federal online system, HealthCare.gov, had defects that prevented many people from signing up for much of the fall. In a study last month, the foundation concluded that 40 percent of the people who could benefit from the new insurance marketplaces are 18 to 34 years old — and therefore, the pool of people who join the plans should match that proportion. The study also predicted that if the proportion of young people remains roughly as low as it is now, it could reduce health plans’ income from premiums in ways that, while not huge, could nevertheless cut their typical profits roughly by half.
Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry’s main trade group, said the impact of who buys coverage “is more a continuum than a cliff” and pointed out that insurance prices are influenced by both the age of customers and how much health care they need. “The more young, healthy people participating, the more stable the marketplace will be, and the more affordable coverage will be,” he said. The enrollment report said that, in the three dozen states relying on the federal marketplace, 23 percent of the nearly 1.2 million people who enrolled by late December are ages 18 to 34. In 14 states. plus the District of Columbia, that are running their own new marketplaces, 25 percent of the nearly 900,000 people who enrolled fall within that age group. Young adults accounted for 44 percent of the people who signed up for health plans in the District, the highest percentage in the country. In both Maryland and Virginia, the share of 18- to 34-year-olds was 27 percent. The overall enrollment of nearly 2.2 million in Monday’s report, from the marketplaces’ start on Oct. 1 through Dec. 28, echo information the White House previously issued. The data show a seven-fold upswing in enrollment in the federal exchange from the first two months as the website’s performance improved. Federal health officials said, however, that they do not yet know how many of those people had been uninsured before — or how many of those who enrolled have paid their first months’ premium in order for their coverage to start. While Americans can sign up through March 31 for coverage in 2014, the December enrollment period was especially significant because the health plans took effect on New Year’s Day and anyone who signed up by Dec. 24 — and pays the first premium by various deadlines this month — is covered from the beginning. Beyond the age breakdowns, the report issued Monday also contained the first information on the sex of people buying new health plans, showing that 53 percent are women and 47 percent are men. The report also showed that, of four tiers of coverage, named for different metals, by far the most popular are the “silver” plans — the second level from the bottom — which outside health analysts have found have a typical insurance deductible of $2,500, far more than traditional health coverage.
Aid: Santa Fe woman at center of case Continued from Page A-1 but needs to fully analyze the judge’s opinion before commenting further. Nash’s ruling stems from a two-day bench trial in December in which two doctors and a Santa Fe woman with advanced uterine cancer asked the judge to determine that physicians would not be breaking the law if they wrote prescriptions for competent, terminally ill patients who wanted to end their lives. Doctors Katherine Morris and Aroop Mangalik and patient Aja Riggs filed their lawsuit in 2012. In an interview Monday, Riggs said of the judge’s decision, “She really hit the main points and understands [the issue] well.” Moreover, she said that the ruling “gives me a great sense of peace of mind knowing that I would be able to use the option of aid in dying if I chose to at the end of my life.” Riggs added that medicine is evolving to recognize that aid in dying and suicide are two different things, and now so does the law. The lawsuit had the support of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, Denver-based Compassion & Choices and the New Mexico
Psychological Association, the largest organization of professional psychologists in the state. The psychologists’ group argued that assisted suicide and “aid in dying” for terminally Aja Riggs ill patients were fundamentally different. “New Mexicans, both healthy and sick, now enjoy the comfort and peace of mind that come with knowing they can prevent a prolonged, agonized dying process at the end of life,” ACLU of New Mexico Legal Director Laura Schauer Ives said in a statement. Riggs, a 49-year-old Santa Fe resident, has undergone aggressive radiation and chemotherapy treatment. She testified in December that her cancer was in remission but said there have been days when getting out of bed and walking 15 feet were an uphill battle. Riggs said she wanted to live but also wanted the option of dying if her condition worsened. “I don’t want to suffer needlessly at the end,” she told Nash during the trial.
Kathryn Tucker, director of legal affairs for Compassion & Choices, has said there’s growing support for physicians to help terminally ill patients who want to end their lives. Four other states, including Oregon, allow patients to seek aid in dying if their conditions become unbearable. The New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops was disappointed with Monday’s ruling, saying there’s a difference between fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitution and the ability of someone to take a person’s life. Opinions can differ with regards to the survivability of illnesses, and medical treatments can progress, said Allen Sanchez, executive director of the bishops’ group. “As long as there is a chance for human error, we can’t have that. You can never reverse the decision you’ve made. It’s the finality of it,” Sanchez said. “If we are not willing to give that ability to a judge and jury by doing away with the death penalty in New Mexico, we should not be willing to give one doctor and two witnesses that ability.” The New Mexican contributed to this story.
Budget: Problem dates back to 2006 Continued from Page A-1 from $70 million. But the department hasn’t been able to determine if either figure fully reflects the scope of the problem, or its origin. Bejarano emphasized that the problem predates the Martinez administration and goes back to 2006, when the SHARE accounting system was implemented. “This is an accumulation of junk over seven years,” he told the House Finance Committee. Varela countered that the Department of Finance and Administration has “lost cash control,” and said regardless of where the problem began, it’s in the department’s court now. “It’s your responsibility,” he said. And part of that responsibility is helping state auditors identify how the shortfall came to be, Varela said. State Auditor Hector Balderas said the Department of Finance and Administration has been slow to share necessary documentation that would hold clues to whether the shortfall in federal funds was a result of state agencies overspending or simply poor accounting practices. The distinction is crucial — and so is settling on a precise amount for the shortfall — because it could affect the budgeting process during the upcoming legislative session, Balderas said. “As far as not discussing things on an ongoing basis with auditors, audi-
tors audit,” Bejarano responded. “We begin to tread a very thin line when you start having auditors have input into the management of the agency. It’s an independence issue.” Bejarano said the Department of Finance and Administration has not taken a cavalier approach to the shortfalls. He said the department reviews 50 to 100 state-agency transactions daily and frequently finds mistakes. He said $5 billion in transactions that involved errors have been identified since 2012. “That’s only the tip of the iceberg,” Bejarano said. “This is going to continue until we actually go back and do the remediation.” That, he said, will take time and money. The Department of Finance and Administration has submitted a budget request for $2 million to fully review transactions during the sevenyear period that produced the shortfall in federal funds. Meanwhile, more discrepancies continue to be unearthed. An audit of the New Mexico Human Services Department for fiscal year 2013 determined that the state forfeited $65 million in Medicaid reimbursements from the prior year. Auditors concluded that New Mexico missed out on the funds due to administrative failures at the state level to file timely reimbursement paperwork. Now, that shortfall could come out of the state budget. A similar appro-
priation totaling $35 million was necessary during fiscal year 2012. “Whether it’s an accounting issue or a cash issue, the fact remains the cash is not there,” Bejarano said. “The cash did go out the door. [The Human Services Department’s] cash balance is short that cash. It needs to be trued up to the tune of $65 million.” The Department of Finance and Administration is eyeing possible accounting adjustments to accomplish the backfill, while legislative staff’s position is that legislative authorization is required. According to documents distributed Monday by House Finance Committee staff, “[The Department of Finance and Administration] is not sure to the extent the [Human Services Department] shortfall contributes to the $101.7 million discrepancy.” Balderas’ office expects more information about the shortfall this week. If so, more details of the shortfall’s origins could be released in about two weeks. Those findings could be benign, or hold serious consequences, in Varela’s estimation. “If the agency overspent their cash, there’s a major liability to the secretary of the [Department of Finance and Administration] and to the state treasurer,” he said.

Health: N.M. does not require students to undergo screenings Continued from Page A-1 make any sense from a public health perspective,” said Mike Dennis, of Chestnut Health Systems in Normal, Ill. He teaches clinicians in 49 states how to assess and treat patients with mental illness and substance abuse. Although the 15-year-old Illinois student was not diagnosed through a school program, in his school-based group therapy he’s learning practical tips to identify his triggers and calm them before emotions spin out of control. “I think it is a good idea because a lot of people think they don’t need help but they actually do,” said the teen, who is not being identified by The Associated Press because he is a minor. Federal health officials recommended universal mental health screenings for students nearly a decade ago, but it’s still not required. An AP review of policies around the nation shows screenings vary widely not only from state to state, but within each school district. There’s no consistency on whether the schools screen, what age they screen and what they screen for. The federal government does not keep track of school mental health screening, so it’s all but impossible to say how many schools do or don’t offer it. The offerings vary from intensive services to virtually none at all. “No state is providing high-end services in all of their schools,” said Sharon Stephan, co-director of the Center for School Mental Health, a national organization based at the University of Maryland that provides training for schools and mental health providers. Baltimore and Chicago have robust screening and treatment programs. Teachers in one South Florida school
district screen children as young as kindergarten by filling out a short questionnaire, while students in Minnesota answer anonymous surveys about drug use and depression. In Olympia, Wash., 21,000 students were screened for substance abuse and mental health issues in 2010, but that dropped to only 7,500 in 2012 due to lack of funding. According to a 2008 National Association of State Boards of Education State School Health Policy report, New Mexico does not require mental health screenings of public-school students. Representatives from both Albuquerque Public Schools and Santa Fe Public Schools said they contract out these services on an “asneeded” basis. Shelley Mann-Lev, coordinator for drug prevention in Santa Fe Public Schools’ Office of Student Wellness, said by phone Monday that there is no universal health screening process for students at this time. She said three local agencies — Presbyterian Medical Services, Southwest Family Guidance and Agave — offer on-site behavioral health services for students if parents or counselors recommend it. The district’s two high schools — Capital High and Santa Fe High — also have teen health centers where youth can receive anonymous health screenings of several kinds, including mental health. This past semester, for instance, the district referred about 220 K-8 students to these providers, Mann-Lev said. Mental health issues typically start during adolescence. If left untreated, they can lead to substance abuse, school dropouts and difficulty maintaining steady jobs and relationships. Yet many people are not diagnosed until later in life when they don’t have access to services because they don’t
have health insurance or their insurance doesn’t cover it. The U.S. surgeon general reports that 10 percent of children and adolescents suffer from serious emotional and mental disorders that significantly affect their daily lives. However, offering mental health screening in schools can raise other complex issues. Some warn that mass screenings will over-diagnose students and stigmatize them with a lifelong label. “People have to be very cautious when they are talking cavalierly about screening these kids. How do people feel if they are over-identify or underidentify? … The consequences to that are big,” said Linda Juszczak, president of the School-Based Health Alliance, a group that advocates for school clinics. Some also say mass screenings could uncover mental health problems that schools lack resources to treat. “Once we screen and assess and discover the need, I think it’s our responsibility to have the resources in place to service every one of those needs that are uncovered,” said Denise Wheatley-Rowe of Behavioral Health System Baltimore. The organization developed a system that has gained national recognition using a team of school officials and community mental health experts to target students most in need. The program has grown from four schools to more than 100 in the past 25 years. It helps nearly 7,000 children a year at all grade levels through prevention and early intervention treatments. The team identifies children who may need help based on factors like whether they have a parent in prison or who struggles with substance abuse. Before children enter middle and high school, the team scans data for those struggling academically and
behaviorally, including those with high truancy or suspension rates, and then offers individual counseling or family therapy based on the student’s need. In South Florida, a fourth-grader was involuntarily hospitalized for a week last August after threatening to attack a teacher’s face with a pencil and throwing chairs and overturning tables in the classroom. The child, who was diagnosed with oppositional defiance disorder and anxiety, was placed on medication and returned to school with a case plan. A counselor also is working with his mother on parenting skills. Dr. Seth Bernstein, a psychologist who consulted on the case, called it a missed opportunity. The child was never screened for mental health or behavioral issues because screenings weren’t offered at his school when he was there. A program that offered academic support and family counseling, employing four dozen mental health experts, had been cut at his school and 69 other elementary schools in Palm Beach County a year earlier. In contrast, Matthew Palma, 10, attended play sessions as a kindergartner as part of Primary Project, which screens 3,000 kindergarten and firstgraders in Palm Beach County each year through a one-page assessment completed by teachers. About 650 are referred for play sessions. Children with less severe issues, such as trouble expressing themselves or making friends, attend play therapy weekly for three months. Children with more serious issues are referred for other services. The program, which costs $560,000 a year, is in 12 schools — about 10 percent of schools in the district — but program leaders say they get daily requests to expand. Matthew’s mother, Susan, says his confidence improved dramatically and the now fifth-grader
isn’t afraid to talk to adults or raise his hand in class. She agreed to let him be interviewed for this story. “It’s basically just to screen them for potential social, emotional, behavioral issues. Some of them may be some false positives. You may miss some kids, but it gives kids that upper chance of being identified and getting services early on before it’s too late,” Bernstein said. However, even when services are offered, some parents are reluctant. Michelle Anderson said her son’s third-grade teacher at a Davenport, Iowa, elementary school referred him for a mental health screening in the community, where a psychiatrist diagnosed him with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and prescribed the 8-year-old Ritalin. She eventually took him off the medicine after she said he repeatedly came home from school sobbing and overwhelmed. She pushed the school to instead test her son for learning disabilities and found he had a problem organizing information. She asked for extra help in the classroom, but she said the school refused. Earlier this year, officials at a different school again recommended that her now 15-year-old son seek psychiatric treatment. He was prescribed the antidepressant Prozac, but she never filled the prescription after her pharmacist warned of side effects for teenagers, including suicidal thoughts and hallucinations. “It just seems like they want to medicate rather than provide education support,” said Anderson, who is now home-schooling her son. She asked that the AP not use his name because he is a minor. Researcher Rhonda Shafner contributed to this report from New York. The New Mexican also contributed to this report.

Water ban lifted in parts of W.Va. Some residents still wary of chemical contamination By Jonathan Mattise The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Safe tap water gushed from faucets and shower heads in West Virginia on Monday, a welcome sight and sound for a small fraction of the 300,000 people who have not been able to use running water since a chemical spill five days ago. It could still be days before everyone in the Charleston metropolitan area is cleared to use the water, though officials said the water in certain designated areas was safe to drink and wash with as long as people flushed out their systems. They cautioned that the water may still have a slight licorice-type odor to it, raising the anxieties of some who believed it was still contaminated. “I’m not going to drink it. I’ll shower in it and do dishes in it. But I won’t drink it. I don’t think it’s [the chemical] all out,” said Angela Stone, who started the 30-minute or so process of flushing her system out soon after the ban was lifted. By Monday afternoon, officials had given the green light to about 10 percent of West Virginia American Water’s customers, and company spokeswoman Laura Jordan said as much as 25 percent of its customer base could have water by the end of the day. The water crisis shuttered schools, restaurants and day-care centers and truckloads of water had to be brought in from out of state. People were told to use the water only to flush their toilets. “Finally,” said Stone’s husband, James Parker. “I can finally take a shower, do dishes and cook some regular meals.” Officials were lifting the ban in a strict, methodical manner to help ensure the water system was not overwhelmed by excessive demand, which could cause more water quality and service problems. An online map detailing what areas were cleared showed a very small portion in blue and a vast area across nine counties still in the “do not use” red. Customers were credited with 1,000 gallons of water, which was likely more than enough to flush out a system. The average residential customer uses about 3,300 gallons per month. Some people said they weren’t worried about the odor. “It’s not going to bother me as long as we know it’s clean,” said Peter Triplett, a state library commission worker whose home was near the first area allowed to use water. “It’s been rough going.” The first area cleared was downtown Charleston, the state capital and its largest city. Hospitals were open and flushing out systems, but schools were to stay closed Tuesday. The water crisis started Thursday when a chemical used in coal processing leaked from a Freedom Industries plant into the nearby Elk River. Complaints came in to West Virginia American Water about the odor and officials discovered the source was the chemical 4-methylcyclohexane methanol that spilled out of a 40,000 gallon tank. In all, state officials believe about 7,500 gallons leaked from the tank. Some of the chemical was contained before flowing into the river and it’s not clear exactly how much entered the water supply. Federal authorities, including the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, have opened an investigation.
By David Koenig and Jim Salter The Associated Press
DALLAS — The pilots of a Southwest Airlines flight that mistakenly landed at the wrong Missouri airport were grounded Monday, less than a day after they touched down at a small airfield that gave them only half as much room as normal to stop the jet. Southwest Flight 4013 was traveling Sunday evening from Chicago’s Midway Airport to Branson Airport but instead landed at tiny Taney County Airport seven miles away. No one was hurt, but after the 124 passengers were let off the plane, they noticed the airliner had come dangerously close to the end of the runway, where it could have tumbled down a steep embankment if it had left the pavement. “As soon as we touched down, the pilot applied the brake very hard and very forcibly,” said Scott Schieffer, a Dallas attorney. “I was wearing a seatbelt, but I was lurched forward because of the heavy pressure of the brake. You could smell burnt rubber, a very distinct smell of burnt rubber as we were stopping.” Branson Airport has a runway that is more than 7,100 feet long — a typical size for commercial traffic. The longest runway at Taney County is only slightly more than 3,700 feet because it is designed for small private planes. After the jet stopped, a flight attendant welcomed passengers to Branson, Schieffer said. Then, after a few moments, “the pilot came on and said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry to tell you we landed at the wrong airport.’ ” Southwest spokesman Brandy King said it’s common for pilots to be grounded while the airline and federal aviation officials investigate. Both pilots are Southwest veterans. The captain is in his 15th year flying for the carrier. The first officer will mark 13 years in June, the airline said. At first, Schieffer said, he considered the error only an inconvenience. But once he got off the plane, someone pointed to the edge of the runway, which he estimated as about 100 feet away.

“It was surreal when I realized we could have been in real danger,” he said. “And instead of an inconvenience, it could have been a real tragedy.” Mark Parent, manager of the smaller airport also known as M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport, described the distance as closer to 300 feet. He said the runway is built partly on landfill. At the end, there is a “significant drop-off,” with a ravine beneath it, then busy U.S. 65 on the other side. He said a Boeing 737 had never landed at the small airfield, which normally handles light jets, turboprops and small aircraft for the charter, corporate and tourism markets. No one was at the airport when the Southwest flight landed. Airport employees had gone home about an hour earlier but were called back after the unexpected arrival, Parent said. The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating, but agency
spokesman Tony Molinaro declined to elaborate. At the time of the landing, around 6 p.m., skies were clear, with the temperature in the 50s, said Jeff Bourk, executive director of Branson Airport. A third Southwest employee — not a pilot — was in the cockpit jumpseat, King said. That would not be unusual, since flight attendants sometimes ride along to meet another flight on which they are scheduled to work, a practice known as “deadheading.” Passengers were loaded on buses for the seven-mile trip to Branson. Southwest brought in another plane for passengers flying on to Love Field in Dallas. That flight departed around 10 p.m. local time, Bourke said. By mid-afternoon Monday, the plane involved in the mistaken landing was airborne again after an uneventful takeoff from the county airport. About 200 people gathered to watch the takeoff and cheered loudly as the jet climbed away. It was scheduled to travel to Tulsa
for fuel, then return to service. The minimum runway length needed to take off varies depending on a plane’s weight, the temperature and other factors. Based on Boeing documents, a lightly loaded 737-700 can take off from a runway about the length of the county airport. Instances of commercial jets landing at the wrong airport are unusual, but not unheard-of, according to pilots and aviation safety experts. Usually the pilots are flying “visually,” that is, without the aid of the autopilot, in clear weather. The errors also typically involve low-traffic airports situated close together with runways aligned to the same or similar compass points. “It’s unlikely that you would have this problem between JFK and LaGuardia or Newark and LaGuardia,” said former National Transportation Safety Board member John Goglia, referring to three New Yorkarea airports. “They are too busy.”
Womb transplants raising ethical concerns Swedish doctors hail success after performing experimental operation on nine women By Malin Rising and Maria Cheng The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM — Nine women in Sweden have successfully received transplanted wombs donated from relatives in an experimental procedure that has raised some ethical concerns. The women will soon try to become pregnant with their new wombs, the doctor in charge of the pioneering project has revealed. The women were born without a uterus or had it removed because of cervical cancer. Most are in their 30s and are part of the first major experiment to test whether it’s possible to transplant wombs into women so they can give birth to their own children. In many European countries, including Sweden, using a surrogate to carry a pregnancy isn’t allowed. Life-saving transplants of organs such as hearts, livers and kidneys have been done for decades and doctors are increasingly transplanting hands, faces and other body parts to improve patients’ quality of life. Womb transplants — the first ones intended to be temporary, just to allow childbearing — push that frontier even farther and raise some new concerns. There have been two previous attempts to transplant a womb — in Turkey and Saudi Arabia — but both failed to produce babies. Scientists in Britain, Hungary and elsewhere also are planning similar operations but the efforts in Sweden are the most advanced. “This is a new kind of surgery,” Dr. Mats Brannstrom told The Associated Press in an interview from Goteborg. “We have no textbook to look at.” Brannstrom, chairman of the obstetrics and gynecology department at the University of Gothenburg, is leading the initiative. Next month, he and colleagues will run the firstever workshop on how to perform womb transplants, and they plan to publish a scientific report on their efforts soon. Some experts have raised concerns about whether it’s ethical to

use live donors for an experimental procedure that doesn’t save lives. But John Harris, a bioethics expert at the University of Manchester, didn’t see a problem with that as long as donors are fully informed. He said donating kidneys isn’t necessarily life-saving, yet is widely promoted. “Dialysis is available, but we have come to accept and to even encourage people to take risks to donate a kidney,” he said. Brannstrom said the nine womb recipients are doing well. Many already had their periods six weeks after the transplants, an early sign that the wombs are healthy and functioning. One woman had an infection in her newly received uterus and others had some minor rejection episodes, but none of the recipients or donors needed intensive care after the surgery, Brannstrom said. All left the hospital within days. None of the women who donated or received wombs has been identified. The transplants began in September 2012, and the donors include mothers and other relatives of the recipients. The team had initially planned to do 10 transplants, but one woman couldn’t proceed due to medical reasons, university spokesman Krister Svahn said. The transplant operations did not connect the women’s uteruses to their
fallopian tubes, so they are unable to get pregnant naturally. But all who received a womb have their own ovaries and can make eggs. Before the operation, they had some removed to create embryos through in-vitro fertilization. The embryos were then frozen and doctors plan to transfer them into the new wombs, allowing the women to carry their own biological children. The transplants have ignited hope among women unable to have children because they lost a uterus to cancer or were born without one. About 1 in 4,500 girls is born with a syndrome, known as MRKH, where she doesn’t have a womb. Lise Gimre, 35, who was born without a womb, said she thought many women with MRKH would be interested if the operation proves to be safe and effective. Gimre runs an organization for women with the syndrome in Norway. “If this had been possible when I was younger, no doubt I would have been interested,” she said. Gimre, who has two foster children, said the only option for women like her to have biological children is via surrogacy, which is illegal in many European countries, including Norway and Sweden. Fertility experts have hailed the project as significant but stress it’s
unknown whether the transplants will result in healthy babies. The technique used in Sweden, using live donors, is somewhat controversial. In Britain, doctors also are planning to perform uterus transplants, but will only use wombs from dying or dead people. That was also the case in Turkey. Last year, Turkish doctors announced their patient got pregnant but the pregnancy failed after two months. “Mats has done something amazing and we understand completely why he has taken this route, but we are wary of that approach,” said Dr. Richard Smith, head of the U.K. charity Womb Transplant UK, which is trying to raise 500,000 pounds, or $823,000, to carry out five operations in Britain. He said removing a womb for donation is like a radical hysterectomy but it requires taking a bigger chunk of the surrounding blood vessels to ensure adequate blood flow, raising the risk of complications for the donor. Smith said British officials don’t consider it ethical to let donors take such chances for an operation that isn’t considered life-saving. Smith said the biggest question is how any pregnancies will proceed. “The principal concern for me is if the baby will get enough nourishment from the placenta and if the blood flow is good enough,” he said. All of the women who received womb transplants will need to take anti-rejection medicines, but Smith said data from women who have received kidney transplants doesn’t suggest their babies are at any increased risk from the drugs. Brannstrom said using live donors allowed them to ensure the donated wombs were functional and didn’t have any problems like an HPV infection. Doctors in Saudi Arabia performed the first womb transplant in 2000, using a live donor, but it had to be removed after three months because of a blood clot. Brannstrom said he and his colleagues hope to start transferring embryos into some of their patients soon, possibly within months. The Swedish researchers and others have previously reported successful uterus transplants in animals including mice, sheep and baboons, but no offspring from the primates were produced.

SFPS board to vote on design, funding of Nye Early Childhood Education site By Robert Nott The New Mexican
T
he school board is scheduled to vote Tuesday evening on a design for the district’s new early-childhood education center on the campus of Agua Fría Elementary School and on reallocating bond money to help pay for the first phase of the project. The district wants to use $2 million from the 2013 general obligation bond for the first phase of construction, which is expected to cost $9 million. Seven million dollars from the general obligation bond has already been earmarked for the center, due to open in the fall. The new Nye Early Childhood Education center is a project of Santa Fe Public Schools and United Way of Santa Fe County. United Way plans to raise another $10 million for the second phase of construction. According to district Superintendent Joel Boyd and Katherine Freeman, CEO and president of United Way of Santa Fe County, the plan includes creating a coalition of earlychildhood education providers to ensure that services for pre-kindergartners are aligned across the county. Freeman said the site will offer child care services — including day care and a pre-kindergarten program — to at least 200 children. The center will offer professional development opportunities for educators around the state and prenatal home visitations. Current census data indicate Santa Fe County has about 8,270 children under the age of 5. Not all of those children have access to educational opportunities, Boyd and Freeman said. They noted that many people, including parents, remain confused by which organizations provide pre-K programs. Santa Fe Public Schools currently has 220 pre-K seats

State District Judge Matthew Wilson heard seven hours of testimony and bitter argument, but then delayed until Friday a ruling on whether a horseslaughter plant should be barred from opening. Emotions ran high Monday in Wilson’s Santa Fe courtroom, and he even threatened to hold the slaughterhouse’s attorney in contempt of court for an outburst during the final moments of the hearing. Blair Dunn, the 6-foot-9 lawyer who represents the Roswell-area Valley Meat Co., slammed his hand on a table while his opponent from the state attorney general’s staff was making a rebuttal argument. A brief silence held the courtroom before Wilson spoke. He told Dunn that a brazen show of disrespect was no way to make an objection. “Explain to me why I shouldn’t hold you in contempt,” the judge said to Dunn. Dunn apologized. Wilson then let the confrontation die without punishing Dunn. Dunn could not hide his frustration after a day on which he got nowhere on three of his key arguments. He said Wilson had no jurisdiction to even hear the case, but the judge accepted testimony while promising to later decide whether he had any authority to

He said he and McPeek are working to comply with instructions from the PED and “not argue.” The 2011 report provides information on each of the five students, including the amount of compensatory services each student is owed. The PED issued a ruling on whether the district violated certain state rules by failing to provide, or at least document, services to the five special needs students. The first issue in question was whether the district denied the students a free appropriate public education by failing to provide certain services. “In each of the instances documented, the PED concludes that there was more than a minor discrepancy between the services the district provided and the services required by the respective IEPs [individualized education programs], and that in each instance, a material failure resulted,” the report states. The second issue in question was whether the district failed to provide a free appropriate public education to students in the district other than the five listed in the complaint. However, according to the report, the district was unable to provide complete docu-

The third issue deals with whether the district violated certain rules regarding one of the students listed in the complaint. According to the complaint, the PED cited the district for failing to consider an independent occupational therapy evaluation a mother ordered for her child, due to what the mother thought were inadequate evaluation services at the school. The district also was cited for failure to administer a speech and language pathology evaluation for the student in the format most likely to yield accurate results. Finally, the district was cited for failing to provide, or at least document, psychological services the school provided to one of the five students listed in the report during the 2011-12 school year.

Albuquerque firefighter fights city for seat in Legislature By Milan Simonich The New Mexican
State Rep. Emily Kane defeated three opponents, plus the city of Albuquerque, to take her seat in the Legislature. Now her city government will try again to end Kane’s political career. Kane is a fire captain in Albuquerque. Her bosses say the city’s charter and personnel rules prohibit her from seeking or holding public office. Kane, a Democrat, challenged the city’s attempt to outlaw her candidacy and punish her for running. She won her case in state District Court in 2012. She also succeeded at the polls, winning a threeway primary and then defeating a Republican opponent in the general election. But Republican Mayor Richard Berry’s administration has appealed the court ruling. It says Kane flouted laws and policies that bar Albuquerque’s municipal employees from running for political office. Emily Kane Three judges of the New Mexico Court of Appeals are scheduled to hear arguments in the case Jan. 28, a week after Kane and the state’s other 111 legislators begin this year’s session. Kane, 57, has been a firefighter for 20 years. She is one of many people on the public payroll who serve in the New Mexico Legislature, but none of the others work for the city of Albuquerque. Teachers, an Albuquerque school administrator and a school superintendent from Logan sit alongside Kane in the House of Representatives. Another teacher and a college president are state senators. In Kane’s case, she trades shifts with other firefighters or takes a leave of absence from her job so she can attend legislative sessions. New Mexico legislators receive an expense allowance and can even qualify for a state pension, but they are not paid a salary. Albuquerque’s government maintains that, unlike other public employees, Kane expressly was banned from running for the Legislature. “… Courts have unwaveringly held that government employer prohibitions against employees pursuing or holding elective public office are not unconstitutionally overbroad,” city lawyers wrote in their brief to the appeals court. Their argument failed the first time. State District Judge Beatrice Brickhouse ruled that Albuquerque’s

‘Anal probe’ lawsuit settled By Russell Contreras The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — A city and county in Southern New Mexico have settled a lawsuit filed by a man taken to two hospitals and subjected to anal probes over suspicion of hiding drugs, the man’s lawyer said Monday. According to attorneys for David Eckert, Hidalgo County and the city of Deming recently settled their portion of a lawsuit for a total of $1.6 million. The lawsuit, filed against police and sheriff’s officials in Deming and Hidalgo County,
which borders Mexico, alleges Deming police sought a search warrant for Eckert because they thought he appeared to be clenching his buttocks when he got out of his car in January 2013. Hidalgo County sheriff’s deputies told the Deming police officers Eckert was known in the area for carrying drugs inside his body, the lawsuit said. Police also brought in a drug-sniffing dog, which detected something in the driver’s seat. The lawsuit alleged a host of violations of Eckert’s rights, including his being denied the right to make a phone call from
the police station, as well as the fact that the search warrant to search his body was valid only in Luna County but he was taken to a different county after a doctor at the local hospital refused to do the searches, citing ethical violations. Despite the body searches, no drugs were found. “It was medically unethical and unconstitutional,” Shannon Kennedy, Eckert’s attorney, told The Associated Press. “He feels relieved that this part is over and believes this litigation might make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”

New Mexico Attorney General Gary King is backing Patti Bushee for mayor of Santa Fe. King, a longtime Santa Fe resident who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, said the veteran city councilor would do an “excellent job” as mayor. “I think that she’s a very smart woman,” King said. “She’s very caring. She has good experience, and she brings a lot of that longtime concern for Santa Fe and how Santa Fe develops.” King, son of former three-term Gov. Bruce King, who passed away in 2009, said Bushee is a “well-known entity” in Santa Fe politics. But so are her two opponents, he said. They are City Councilor Bill Dimas, a former magistrate judge, and Javier Gonzales, a former county commissioner and state Democratic Party chairman whose father, George, served as mayor of Santa Fe. King introduced Bushee at her campaign kickoff party at the Hotel Santa Fe. Organizers said the event attracted around 300 people.

block the plant’s opening. In addition, Dunn had failed to list Valley Meat Co. owner Rick De Los Santos as a witness, but then tried to call him to the stand. Wilson ruled that De Los Santos could not testify. Finally, Dunn argued that a temporary restraining order against Valley Meat Co. should be lifted and replaced with a statement from Wilson saying that the business could not operate until it had a sewage permit or alternate disposal plan sanctioned by the New Mexico Environment Department. Instead, Wilson continued the restraining order until he rules Friday on whether the business presents a threat to New Mexico’s environment and the food chain. State Attorney General Gary King, a Democrat running for governor, sued Valley Meat Co. on those claims. Dunn has accused King of grandstanding for political gain. Valley Meat last month had just won a federal court case challenging its operation and was negotiating details of a sewage-discharge permit with the state Environment Department, Dunn said. But King then sued the company in state District Court, a venue Dunn says has no authority to intervene on the company’s permits or business plan. Ari Biernoff, one of King’s assistants, argued to Wilson that
the attorney general had to fight the company because it poses a threat to the public. Biernoff said this case was similar to a retail business that suddenly decides it can sell medical marijuana. The attorney general cannot sit back and allow a business to do anything it likes when public safety is at stake, Biernoff said. King’s legal team called a veterinarian and a former bureau chief for the Environment Department to try to make the case that the Valley Meat Co. is dangerous. The company proposes to slaughter up to 121 horses a day and sell the meat to stores and restaurants in international markets. Randy Parker, a veterinarian from the Colorado Springs area, was hired by King’s office to testify that horse slaughter could mar the food chain. Parker said horses often receive drugs that are not safe for human consumption. “I wouldn’t eat horse meat,” Parker said. But on cross-examination by Dunn, Parker admitted that he ate beef, even though cattle may receive some of the same drugs that can be used to treat horses when they get sick. Wilson, over Dunn’s objection, said he regarded the veterinarian as an expert witness. Another state witness was William Olson, who formerly worked for the Environment Department. He said Valley
Meat Co. was a bad corporate citizen, once operating a cattleslaughter plant for three years without a valid sewage permit. Dunn countered with a series of witnesses who testified in favor of the horse-slaughter plant. One was Jack King of the Environment Department’s health bureau. He said the U.S. Department of Agriculture has the sole authority to inspect meat-processing plants. James Duffey, a Chaves County commissioner, appeared as an unpaid witness for Valley Meat Co. He said he lives perhaps a mile from the horseslaughter plant and would welcome it as a neighbor if it met all requirements of the USDA and state Environment Department. “It’s providing jobs in our community and revenue to our community,” Duffey said. Benny House, the Otero County sheriff, also testified for the company. He said the number of abandoned horses in his area is escalating. One of Dunn’s broad arguments for the plant is that the number of wild horses in America has increased since horse slaughter was halted seven years ago. Congress in 2007 stopped funding inspections for horseslaughter plants. In turn, Dunn said, businesses began exporting hundreds of thousands of horses to Mexico and Canada, where they die after long, painful trips to foreign slaughterhouses.

To counter her argument, the city has cited the case of Jack Harkleroad. As a state police lieutenant in the 1980s, he declared himself a candidate for governor.

The chief suspended Harkleroad without pay for 30 days, punishment that was upheld by the New Mexico Supreme Court.

Police search for suspect in Smith’s stabbing Santa Fe police are looking for a man suspected of stabbing his wife outside Smith’s supermarket on St. Michael’s Drive around 3 p.m. Monday. The suspect, Raymond Garcia, 34, who may be from Albuquerque, is thought to be driving a marooncolored, mid-1990s Mitsubishi Raymond Galant with Garcia a spoiler and tinted windows, according to police. The victim — a 36-yearold woman who works at the store — told police she was in the parking lot when Garcia attacked her with a knife. She pushed the panic button on her car keys, which scared Garcia into fleeing, then went inside the store for help, police said. The victim had lacerations on her throat and abdomen but was talking and conscious at the scene, according to a statement issued by police, and is recovering at the hospital. Garcia is considered armed and dangerous and may have a male accomplice with him, according to police. Police are asking anyone who sees the vehicle or has other information that might help investigators to call 428-3710. The New Mexican

chemical used in coal processing leaked from a plant into the Elk River, forcing a ban on tap water for some 300,000 people. Restaurants and schools closed, and people were told to use the water only for flushing their toilets. In Albuquerque, Citizen Action has long complained that contamination of groundwater resources could be devastating for the drought-stricken city. EPA officials said effects to the drinking water supply can be avoided if recovery wells, which are used to remove contaminants, are installed. They also said more modeling should be done and a final report is expected later this year. Since the contamination is closest to the VA hospital, officials with the New Mexico Environment Department said they have been working on a water protection plan that includes sampling and analysis. If the toxins reach the hospital well, the department said a contingency plan has been formulated to ensure the hospital has safe and clean water.

Engine-less American Airlines jets sit last month at the Roswell International Air Center. Airlines are on the largest jet buying spree in the history of aviation, with the old planes being sent to the desert, where the dry air prevents the aluminum airframe from corroding and spare parts can be harvested, or the old jets get chopped up for scrap metal.

Last stop, New Mexico Aging jets being put to rest in Roswell as airlines turn to more fuel-efficient models
By Scott Mayerowitz
The Associated Press
ROSWELL apt. Paul Wannberg glides an old Boeing 757 over the New Mexico desert, lining up with the runway. A computerized voice squawks elevation warnings. Forty feet. Thirty. Twenty. Ten. Touchdown. Outside the cockpit window sit nearly a hundred airplane carcasses, perfectly lined up. They are jets that nobody wants anymore. And — after 26,057 takeoffs and landings — this 24-year-old American Airlines plane is about to join them. “This is my first time here, and it’s a sad place,” First Officer Robert Popp tells the control tower. Airlines used to store planes in the desert during slow travel months. Sometimes, unwanted jets would be sold to carriers in Russia or Africa. Today, a man on the other end of the radio responds, “They’re chopping them up.” Airlines are on the largest jet-buying spree in the history of aviation, ordering more than 8,200 new planes with manufacturers Airbus SAS and The Boeing Co. in the past five years. There are now a combined 24 planes rolling off assembly lines each week, up from 11 a decade ago. And that rate is expected to keep climbing. The new planes allow the airlines to save on fuel, now their biggest cost, while offering passengers more amenities — some for a fee. Passengers can plug in to work or be entertained by a seat-back TV and fly some international routes nonstop for the first time. And the commercial divisions of Boeing and Airbus get a steady stream of cash for years, which is a key reason investors have doubled the companies’ stock price in the past year. The bulk of the planes are going to new or quickly growing airlines that serve an expanding middle class in India and the rest of Asia. The International Air Transport Association expects the number of passengers worldwide to grow 31 percent to 3.9 billion in the next four years. U.S. airlines are buying as well. After suffering through the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, bankruptcies and recessions, they’re now strong enough financially to buy new jets. Domestic carriers spent $11.6 billion last year on capital improvements — including new planes — up from $5.2 billion in 2010.

In brief
Gov. Martinez gets tax policy award The Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation has honored Gov. Susana Martinez and five others with awards for Outstanding Achievement in State Tax Reform. “As the award’s name suggests, the honorees were selected due to their extraordinary efforts to advance the cause of simpler, smarter tax policy in the previous year,” the organization said in a news release. Joseph Henchman, vice president of State Projects at the Tax Foundation, said the award is a new effort for the group. “Numerous legislators made commitments to smarter, more principled tax policy.

he final residential sales numbers posted each year by Alan Ball of Keller Williams Santa Fe Realty are now live. For 2013, the city and county of Santa Fe recorded 1,757 residential sales — a 7 percent increase from a year earlier and the highest volume of sales since 2007. The average sales price was almost flat — and at $423,472, lower than most recent years, reflects the fact that more homes are selling in the under-$300,000 range and there is still some distressed inventory working through the market. “The strongest segment is always the starter homes and investment properties that range from around $200K to $350K. Some areas and neighborhoods experienced hot flashes last year Bruce (Eldorado, Nava Ade, etc.) while Krasnow residential land sales continued their deep sleep,” Ball writes. Business Matters Like others who watch the Santa Fe market, there are no signs of the rapid home-price increases that other markets have seen. “Santa Fe is just a tortoise compared to the hare of Phoenix or Denver. Our increases are steady and historically have built a solid foundation for future growth rather than race up and down the course setting higher and lower records every few years,” Ball writes.

I am interested in hearing from restaurant servers and managers about the new IRS rules regarding gratuities. It has been common for most Santa Fe restaurants to automatically add 18 percent on the bill for larger parties — usually eight or more patrons. Now that 18 percent is added to the overall bill, servers should still receive all the money, but it will be paid out with salary checks — and taxed accordingly. That will cut into the immediate take-home pay of many servers and probably result in higher tax collections to the federal government as the possibility of short-changing the gratuity amount for tax purposes is eliminated. “The IRS has long suspected that tips often aren’t properly reported. An employer with a business where tipping is common, such as a restaurant, is generally required to report the amounts that workers receive in tips and to pay its fair share of payroll taxes on those amounts,” according to an article on accountingweb.com. How will this new rule affect restaurants and servers in New Mexico? Let me know at brucek@ sfnewmexican.com. uuu
The interior of a new passenger jet is displayed last month at the American Airlines operations center in Grapevine, Texas.
With the price of fuel nearly four times what it was 10 years ago, airlines need to replace aging, gas-guzzlers — like the American 757 that Capt. Wannberg parked in the desert at the Roswell International Air Center. The plane showed its age. Many armrests originally came with ashtrays. The seatback pocket on 27D was hanging by its last thread. And the window shade at 1F wouldn’t close. American would have had to spend $6 million to $10 million for heavy maintenance checks on the airframe, overhauls of the engines and other part replacements to keep the plane flying. Instead, it went to Roswell, joining hundreds of other commercial aircraft. There, the dry air prevents the aluminum airframe from corroding. Spare parts will be harvested from the jet; eventually it will be chopped up for scrap metal. It’s a fate many U.S. planes are facing. On Monday, Delta Air Lines retired the last of its DC-9s, a 35-year-old jet that had been the workhorse of U.S. airlines for decades. Over the past five years, U.S. airlines have retired nearly 1,300 other planes — more than 20 a month — to various desert facilities in the last five years, according to Flightglobal’s Ascend Online Fleets, which sells and tracks information about aircraft.
American’s old 757 will be replaced by one of 460 new single-aisle jets that the airline ordered in July 2011 — the largest single airplane order in history. The first one entered service Sept. 16, and American is currently taking delivery of an additional new plane every week — models like the A321 from Airbus or the Boeing 737. The new planes cater to passengers’ changing habits. Instead of reading a paperback book or magazine from the airport gift shop, travelers today are surfing the Internet or reading on their Kindle or iPads. American designed the interior of its new planes with the concept that “your life should never be interrupted because you are flying,” says Alice Liu, managing director for onboard products for the airline. So this new generation of planes provide passengers with larger overhead bins, power outlets and USB ports, better lighting and a less-claustrophobic feel. There’s also less noise and — in many cases — individual TVs. “We want to give you a sense of as much space as possible,” says Mike Henny, Delta’s director of customer experience. “A darker space doesn’t feel as spacious as a lighter one.” Some models can fly longer distances, opening up new nonstop routes. And the planes are more reliable, meaning fewer mechanical delays or cancellations.

Pizza Centro is expanding to the Zafarano Drive area and is set to take over the 1,500-square-foot space that was occupied by Lucci’s. Owners Jason and Nathan Aufrichtig say they went to every pizza place in New York City before opening the Santa Fe eatery that specializes in hand-tossed pizzas and calzones. They have two current locations — one in Eldorado and another at 418 Cerrillos Road. Jason Aufrichtig, owner of Counter Culture Café, said the secret to their pizza is the dough, and his brother apprenticed with pizza makers back East to perfect the technique. “Once you respect the technique, you’re going to get the consistency of product,” Jason Aufrichtig said. They had already purchased a specialty oven and other supplies in anticipation of expansion, but he was expecting that might be in Albuquerque. When the Zafarano location opened, it seemed like a natural fit as it is close to Regal Santa Fe Stadium 14 theaters and Sprouts. The location will eventually have a beer-andwine license and an outdoor patio. By the way, Jason Aufrichtig says the best pizza he has eaten is not in New York or Chicago, but New Haven, Conn., at Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana. uuu

‘Obamacare’ bad for Hispanic Americans
H
ispanic Americans will be hard pressed to keep any resolutions they may have made this year to save money — and many have “Obamacare,” also known as Affordable Care Act, to thank for that. Many Hispanics will bear the brunt of Obamacare’s financial reliance on the young and healthy to finance the law. Why? Because the median age for Hispanics is only 27, a full 10 years younger than the national average, and 28 percent of Hispanics are classified as millennials, making them the youngest and fastest-growing demographic in the United States. In New Mexico, we comprise roughly 47 percent of the population. But Obamacare is saddling my generation with an average 169 percent increase in our health insurance premiums. As more Hispanics continue on to obtain higher education — 69 percent of Hispanics graduating in 2012 went on to college — Obamacare is making an impact at campuses all over the country. It’s driving up the cost of premiums and causing colleges to cancel the affordable policies they traditionally made available to their students. At Bowie State University in Maryland, for example, Obamacare increased insurance premiums by 1,500 percent. Students who originally paid $54 would have ended up
paying $900 per semester. This is only made worse by a faulty Spanish-language version of healthcare. gov, which makes it more difficult for us to enroll in plans and limits their options for coverage. This hardship will affect young Hispanics’ financial stability when we need it most, at the start of our adult lives. But that’s not the only promise that Obamacare has broken. Obamacare is also hurting our ability to get the jobs we need to make ends meet. Thousands of employees across every sector of the economy will feel the law’s impact as businesses, particularly small businesses, are forced to deal with higher health care costs by cutting down hours and creating fewer jobs. This is particularly bad news for 26 percent of U.S. Hispanics who work in the service industry — a low-margin sector of the economy with little ability to absorb Obamacare’s costs. The restaurant industry, for instance, is struggling to reconcile profitability and compliance under the mandates of the Affordable Care Act. The evidence is clear: Obamacare hurts young Hispanic Americans more than it helps. That’s why the LIBRE Initiative continues its efforts to highlight the deficiencies of the health care law and those elected officials who support it with “The
Accountability Project.” LIBRE is hosting town halls in New Mexico and in communities across the nation, where we talk with Hispanics about the effects of the law and offer them important information about how to deal with its impact. What we’ve found is that Hispanic Americans have had enough of Obamacare. According to a Quinnipiac University poll, 48 percent of U.S. Hispanics oppose the Affordable Care Act, despite having the highest percentage of uninsured at 29.1 percent. It is telling that those who the law is meant to help think it will otherwise have a negative effect on their lives. Everyone agrees that America’s health care system needs reform. The Affordable Care Act, however, doesn’t really fit that bill for Hispanic Americans. Obamacare does more to harm us than help us — and there’s no New Year’s resolution that we can make to overcome the costly impact of this law. Steven Cruz is the communications coordinator and digital media specialist at the LIBRE Initiative, a grass-roots organization that advances the principles and values of economic well-being to empower the U.S. Hispanic community.

The annexation of the outlying areas of Santa Fe “ is nothing more than a ‘land grab’ with the intent of
increasing the city’s tax base as the goal. The quality of life and well-being of the affected citizens was never considered in the equation. It was conceived, planned and shoved down the city’s throat by two city councilors before anyone really understood what the ultimate costs, in dollars and services, to the city would be. Why do you think it has taken all these years just to get it this far and it is still is not finalized? You ask us to speak up and be heard, well we did, at planning sessions, council meetings, both city and county, and every other venue we could, and we were totally ignored. Some of us still cannot vote in city elections, yet the city has total control over our property. If nothing else, give us, the as-yet-to-be annexed, the right to vote in city elections. Better yet, the annexation should be halted and a general election among the affected citizens held to determine if it should proceed or be totally scrapped. I know how I and the majority of my neighbors would vote.” J.B.

COMMENTARY: ED ROGERS
Who will say no to marijuana?
N
o public good can be derived from passing laws that legalize marijuana use, and Republicans should say so. With legalization taking effect in Colorado and reports that New York and possibly Florida plan to loosen their marijuana laws, the best we can hope for is that these laws are written in a way that will protect the innocent as much as possible. Soon we will no doubt be seeing reports of crime resulting from the marijuana business — driving citations and problems with underage access, for instance. These are already problems associated with alcohol. Without
question, more human tragedy and ruined lives will result from marijuana legalization. It’s not good policy to facilitate the opportunity for more inebriated people to wander among us. Even my friend, Ruth Marcus, who is not exactly a conservative commentator, has said that “widespread legalization is a bad idea,” particularly because of the known negative impact that smoking marijuana can have on adolescents and their development. In a column, she cited a 2012 study that found that “persistent cannabis use was associated with neuropsychological decline broadly across
domains of functioning.” Republicans need to be clear on where they stand on this issue. We shouldn’t think up reasons to do the wrong thing to try to look hip or appeal to reckless youth. If Democrats think they have found an issue for 2014, let them be the ones to promise more pot to the population. And spare me the talk about personal freedom being at stake. You aren’t more free if you are a pothead, and freedom isn’t measured by marijuana consumption. Ed Rogers is a Republican strategist and a contributor to the PostPartisan blog.

New Mexico joins march toward equality
P
eople who support equal rights for all Americans have cause for celebration. With the recent unanimous ruling of its state Supreme Court, New Mexico became the 17th state in the United States to permit same-sex marriage, along with the District of Columbia. In so doing, it joins the distinguished list of states that have preceded it in the steady march toward marriage equality in this country: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington state, plus Washington, D.C. (Utah’s recent judicial approval currently is on hold.) The nationwide battle is far from over: 33 states limit marriage to opposite-sex couples and 10 recognize only civil unions and partnerships. But every victory along the way is significant, especially as some of the country’s more populous and influential states have made the move to end marriage discrimination. Though it has been less than a decade since Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage, more than 38 percent of the U.S. population now lives in a state that either
provides the freedom to marry or honors out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples. In a New York Times study conducted this year, 51 percent of Americans stated that they supported same-sex marriage, while 43 percent opposed it. This same study projects that by the year 2020, the vast majority of states will support samesex marriage and that as few as five states may remain in opposition. These figures indicate a dramatic turnaround from polls conducted as recently as 2009 finding that the majority of Americans opposed gay marriage, even in more progressive states like California. When this controversy really began to seize the public’s attention over the past 20 years, the opposition was largely successful in framing the issue as one of “morality.” The phrase “family values” was brandished like a weapon in the debate, implying that a family headed by two mothers or two fathers was somehow lacking in these “values.” Perhaps one of the greatest triumphs of marriage equality activists and a key factor in the wave of recent legal victories in favor of same-sex marriage was reframing the debate away from these notions. Instead, they shone a light on the issue that truly stands at the center of this
conversation: this is not only a question of civil rights, but of human rights. One of the lowest points in this struggle for marriage equality came in 1996 with passage of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). In retrospect, that law was the single event that most galvanized the movement, paving the way for the continuous string of victories over the past 10 years. The most significant of these victories was the nullification by the U.S. Supreme Court of DOMA itself. It is difficult to believe that this occurred just under six months ago. It is also difficult to believe that it was the otherwise conservative Roberts Court that ultimately found the act unconstitutional. From the beginning, the debate over marriage equality has been a story of “one step forward, two steps back.” The state of New Mexico has taken a decisive and meaningful step forward, joining a nationwide march toward ending marriage discrimination in America.

COMMENTARY: STEPHEN MIHM
Christie: Still an amateur bully O K, so New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie may be a bully with a taste for revenge. Still, yelling at people and having a staff that inflicts traffic jams on political opponents is small potatoes. To earn a place in the hall of fame of meanspirited, vengeful politicians, Christie will need to up his game to match these titleholders. 1. John Adams. Thanks to David McCullough’s revisionist biography, the second U.S. president has gotten a makeover. That’s a feat: Adams was famous for his pettiness, paranoia and pomposity. As vice president, he often paraded around with a sword at his waist; his detractors, poking fun at his significant girth, called him “His Rotundity.” As president and nominal leader of the Federalist Party, he proved remarkably thin-skinned, bridling at political attacks in opposition newspapers. His wife plotted revenge, calling for legislation “enabling the President to seize suspisious [sic] persons, and their papers.” The nation’s first power couple got their wish with the “Alien and Sedition Acts.” “Let the vipers cease to hiss,” Abigail Adams declared. Her husband and his political allies used the legislation to prosecute political enemies, shut hostile newspapers, and deport or imprison foreignborn political detractors. 2. Bobby Kennedy. In martyrdom, RFK has deservedly acquired a halo, and he certainly could be generous, idealistic and magnanimous. But he also relished intimidating people and enjoyed a fight. His reputation for fierceness was such that he once joked: “People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.” As an example, Evan Thomas, one of RFK’s biographers, reported that Kennedy, a champion of civil rights, allowed the FBI to wiretap Martin Luther King Jr. “to find out if he was under the influence of the Kremlin.” And even his most fervent liberal worshippers have long recognized the parallel existence of a “Bad Bobby,” a

Hospital study worth exploring
L reputation he acquired early in his career when he served as assistant counsel on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, appointed by Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, the bully of bullies. 3. Andrew Jackson. Bully? Check. Petty? Absolutely. Mean- spirited? On a bad day, yes. The seventh president was a hothead of the highest order and rarely hesitated to inflict revenge. A frequent duelist with many wounds to show for it, Jackson loved to fight. The biggest one of his career was the so-called “Bank War.” The battle was joined after Jackson’s political opponents tried to renew the charter of the Bank of the United States, a largely private institution that served as the government’s fiscal agent. Jackson, who viewed the institution as a dangerous concentration of political and financial power, was outraged. “The bank,” Jackson informed his vice president, Martin Van Buren, “is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!” He proceeded to veto the bill with a rhetorical attack that Nicholas Biddle, the bank’s president, likened to “the fury of a chained panther biting at the bars of his cage.” After winning re-election, Jackson waged a campaign
against the bank, ordering Secretary of the Treasury Louis McLane to withdraw the government’s deposits and place them in other banks. McLane refused, so Jackson appointed a new man to the post. He also refused to carry out the president’s wishes, and Jackson fired him, too. He then got Roger Taney to serve and remove the deposits. Biddle, no slouch at retribution himself, took his revenge by deliberately contracting the nation’s credit, precipitating a miniature recession. Jackson refused to crack, and after months of fighting, Biddle conceded defeat. 4. Lyndon Baines Johnson. The foul-mouthed, irascible Johnson had a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas, and he didn’t hesitate to play the heavy to get his way. His press secretary, George Reedy, described him as a “miserable person — a bully, sadist, lout and egotist.” The historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (even though biased toward the Kennedys) put it this way: “Through all his life he has discovered that, if you leaned on people hard enough, you pounded them hard enough, their breaking point eventually came.” Johnson put these skills to good use in securing civil rights legislation, but he made
the mistake of believing that similar tactics could be used to win the war in Vietnam. 5. Richard Nixon. It’s hard to find a U.S. politician of the modern era who was so vengeful and paranoid — and willing to act on those emotions with wiretapping, harassment and dirty tricks. Consider his reaction when antiwar politicians in Congress angered him toward the end of his first term. Nixon raged at his advisers in the Oval Office: “One day we will get them — we’ll get them on the ground where we want them. And we’ll stick our heels in, stomp on them hard and twist right.” Gesturing toward Henry Kissinger, Nixon said: “Henry knows what I mean. Get them on the floor and step on them, crush them, show no mercy.” Before Christie considers channeling his inner Nixon, he might want to consider the 37th president’s words of regret on the day he left the White House in disgrace: “Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.” Stephen Mihm, an associate professor of history at the University of Georgia, is a contributor to the Ticker on Bloomberg View.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Leave the lights on when safety is issue
Y
our editorial on energy-saving measures for the school district mentions turning off lights in parking lots at night to save energy (“Energy conservation makes a difference,” Jan. 10). The Pojoaque Valley High School was vandalized recently. Could a few security lights have prevented that incident? Safety is an issue in the community. A security measure such as low-watt, fluorescent lights have a minimal carbon footprint while providing necessary light to prevent crime.

ittle can kill a good idea as fast as a well-intentioned amendment. Take a proposal working its way through the Santa Fe City Council to set up a study group to focus on the operations at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, Santa Fe’s only acute care facility. The draft resolution, introduced by Councilor Patti Bushee, is limited and specific. She wants to gather the interest groups affected by the hospital to better understand the quality of care, finances and other operations. Councilor Peter Ives has a broader vision. His competing resolution would look at changing federal and state health care policies and funding, with the idea of examining how local health care providers need to respond. It also includes the care of indigent patients, a hot topic this year as the state of New Mexico seeks to change how that money is doled out for hospitals and other health care providers. The state wants to take control of dollars generated locally, potentially harming Santa Fe health providers such as La Familia Medical Center that receive funding from the county. That’s a change we don’t support — counties should be able to direct spending of the money they raise for health care. Ives’ big-picture resolution doesn’t get at what Bushee’s proposal attempts to do. Since the purchase of St. Vincent by the out-of-state corporation, Christus, trust between townspeople, employees and the hospital bosses has been disintegrating. Nurses, in particular, have been vocal about what they say is the hospital’s overriding concern for the bottom line. Some nurses, alarmingly, claim that because of short staffing, care is being sabotaged and that patients are not always safe in their beds. By setting up a group — represented by the hospital, city, county, employees, patients and others — affected interest groups can hash out areas of concern and re-establish trust. Such concerns might be unfounded, but rather than pretend they don’t exist, Christus officials need to address them. Sidestepping those issues in favor of a general discussion about health care issues, as Ives’ resolution would do, won’t address basic concerns about staffing levels and quality of care at Christus St. Vincent. In Taos — a model for what could happen in Santa Fe — a study group meets regularly to examine how Holy Cross Hospital and the community interact. That group does include employees and consumers, and Councilor Ives already has announced he will amend his resolution to add those interests. That’s all well and good, but his resolution doesn’t get at the heart of the patient-hospital relationship. Ives’ broader approach could be turned over to the already established Santa Fe County Health Planning Committee, perhaps working in cooperation with the new hospital study group. Both proposals remain on the table, with more discussion scheduled Jan. 21 at the Finance Committee and Jan. 29 before the full council. Ensuring that Santa Fe’s hospital remains strong is of interest not just to Santa Fe, but all of Northern New Mexico. The community should use the introduction of these resolutions to have a vigorous discussion about health care, hospitals and the best way to ensure sick people receive the best care possible.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 14, 1964: Truth or Consequences — The battle over the name of this Rio Grande Valley town has been settled, at least for the time being. Residents voted 891 to 762 in favor of retaining the unique name in a special election Monday. The election was preceded by months of campaigning during which both factions claimed they would be victorious in the Monday voting. The town originally voted 4 to 1 in favor of changing the town’s name from Hot Springs to Truth or Consequences back in 1950. A second vote several months later saw the Truth or Consequences boosters drop to a 1.5 to 1 advantage. Curtis Fowler, secretary of the Hot Springs Organization says that many feel the name is destroying the image of the town as a health center. Jan. 14, 1989: The final report of the Governor’s Business Advisory council’s Education task Force was presented Friday during a meeting in Santa Fe. Teacher salaries should be funded separately to prevent school districts from using the money in other areas, the task force studying the state public school system has recommended. The task force last year conducted a six-month study of financial and management procedures in nine New Mexico school districts, including Santa Fe, selected for size, geographic location and other factors.

WASHINGTON earing a milestone birthday, Michelle Obama exuberantly describes herself as “50 and fabulous.” She’s celebrating already, and a big birthday bash is in the works. The nation’s first lady hits the half-century mark on Friday and, by her own account, she feels more relaxed now that President Barack Obama’s days as a candidate are over. “That layer is gone now. It gives me a little more room to breathe,” she told an interviewer. Nearly five years after assuming the first lady’s role following a bruising campaign in which she sometimes became a target, Mrs. Obama is showing increased comfort in what amounts to a volunteer position with a host of responsibilities and outsized expectations. Not to mention a sometimes-unforgiving spotlight. “I have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman,” the first lady told Parade magazine when asked about the birthday. She started the celebration last week by spending extra time with girlfriends in Hawaii after her family’s holiday vacation there. It was an early birthday present from the president. On Saturday, she’ll be toasted at a White House party where guests have been advised to come ready to dance and to eat before they come. Second presidential terms can be freeing for first ladies, just as they are for presidents, because there is no next election to fret over. But while Mrs. Obama is over the hump of her first lady tenure, with just three years remaining, it’s unclear if she will take on new or different roles. There were expectations last January that she would help the president push for new gun-control measures in response to the shooting massacre of 26 first-graders and adults at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in December 2012. But she largely avoided the divisive debate after tip-toeing into it during a speech in her Chicago hometown. Mrs. Obama said even less about immigration legislation, another contentious issue and priority for her husband. Like all first ladies, Mrs. Obama’s every move and fashion choices have been closely

watched — and mercilessly critiqued. She gets wide credit for carefully shielding daughters Malia and Sasha, now 15 and 12, from the spotlight and for displaying a strong sense of style. But there have been missteps, too, like wearing $500 sneakers to a food bank, taking a pricey vacation to Spain during the economic downturn and being photographed wearing shorts aboard Air Force One. One of her causes that has gained prominence is her campaign to reduce childhood obesity rates. She hopes that work will help define her legacy. Mrs. Obama planted a vegetable garden on a patch of the South Lawn, the first one there in decades. She used its bounty of sweet potatoes, tomatoes and other crops to begin a national conversation about the country’s childhood obesity problem and the importance of eating right and getting enough exercise. She earned praise and criticism in the process. School kids were invited to plant, harvest and even make meals with the crops, on the thinking that they are more likely to eat the broccoli if they plant it themselves. The message has rippled far from that modest start, and the first lady can claim some of the credit. Retailers and food makers are reformulating processed foods to cut down on sugar, salt and fat. Some chain restaurants are making similar changes to what they send out of their kitchens. School lunches are being made healthier, and retailers are opening stores in places with limited or no access to fresh food. Even Sesame Street is allowing the produce industry to use Elmo, Big Bird and its other furry characters free of charge to sell kids on fruits and veggies. The first lady and Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, a military mom, also lead a nationwide effort to rally the public around military families. Mrs. Obama wrote a bestselling book, American Grown, about the garden and makes time to advocate for the arts, holding regular music and film workshops at the White House. She and her staff also mentor teenage girls. Still, the Harvard-trained lawyer has resisted the pressure to advocate causes bolder than childhood obesity and military families.

eyton Manning and Tom Brady, one more time with the Super Bowl on the line, would have been good enough all by itself. But in the embarrassment of riches that is the NFL this season, we get more. Much more. Two young superstar quarterbacks in the making squaring off in Seattle. Wes Welker against the team that wanted him no longer, and Anquan Boldin taking his new team on another championship run. A sideshow with Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh that might be worth the price of admission by itself. And a Super Bowl that will be a winner even if it’s played on a sheet of ice.

NEW YORK lex Rodriguez sued Major League Baseball and its players’ union Monday, seeking to overturn a season-long suspension imposed by an arbitrator who ruled there was “clear and convincing evidence” the New York Yankees star used three banned substances and twice tried to obstruct the sport’s drug investigation. As part of the complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, Rodriguez’s lawyers made public Saturday’s 34-page decision by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who shortened a penalty originally set at 211 games last August by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig for violations of the sport’s drug agreement and labor contract. Horowitz, a 65-year-old making his second decision as baseball’s independent arbitrator, trimmed the discipline to 162 games, plus all postseason games in 2014. “While this length of suspension may be unprecedented for a MLB player, so is the misconduct he committed,” Horowitz wrote. Horowitz concluded Rodriguez used testosterone, human growth hormone and Insulin-like growth factor-1 in 2010, 2011 and 2012 in violation of baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement. He relied on evidence provided by the founder of the now-closed Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic in Florida. “Direct evidence of those violations was supplied by the testimony of Anthony Bosch and corroborated with excerpts from Bosch’s personal composition notebooks, BBMs [BlackBerry messages] exchanged between Bosch and Rodriguez, and reasonable inferences drawn from

ing several lawsuits brought by former football players that claim the organization and its members did not do enough to educate players about the longterm risks of concussions and to treat players. The NCAA now has a chief medical officer, a neurologist who was appointed by Emmert. Emmert told coaches that participation in football is declining among boys, though that is in part to competition from other sports and inactivity tied to an online culture. Still, he said it is up to the people who make their living on the football to assure parents that the game is safer than ever. “We have to find ways to continue to bring young men into the sport of football and convince parents, especially moms, that this is a safe sport,” he said.
“And we have to convince them because it’s true. That we’re doing everything we can to make this sport safe.” Emmert told reporters the NCAA is working with researchers all over the world on concussion and head injuries. “To make sure that when decisions are made they’re based on real science and best practices, not rumor and innuendo and fear,” he said. Along those lines, the AFCA and the American College of Sports Medicine endorsed USA Football’s Heads Up Football program on Monday. The program was created by USA Football to help educate youth coaches on tackling techniques, CDCapproved player safety protocols and proper ways to use and wear protective equipment.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers have conquered the bitter cold of Green Bay and the travails of a cross-country flight to Carolina. Now they face their toughest test yet to get back to the Super Bowl: the deafening noise of Seattle’s 12th man home crowd and that swarming Seahawks defense that thoroughly shut down the reigning NFC champion Niners in Week 2. “Our team has been in a lot of good primers, been through a lot of Colin situations, been through tough enviKaepernick ronments, whether it be weather or opposing stadiums,” coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday. “This team has been in a lot of situations. Been everywhere, man. Just like something from a Johnny Cash song, ‘We’ve been everywhere, man.’ ” In what has emerged as arguably the NFL’s best rivalry, San Francisco is on an impressive roll riding an eight-game winning streak as it returns to the Pacific Northwest for Sunday’s NFC title game — the 49ers’ third in as many years. It’s the trip everyone has envisioned for months now since it became clear Seattle would win the NFC West and secure the No. 1 seed. “Long story short: They know us, we know them,” linebacker NaVorro Bowman said. “We got to go there. We all know the history. But this is the Super Bowl. Everything is on the line. That says it all. We’re ready. That’s all it comes down to.” The 49ers (14-4) have committed seven turnovers

A-Rod: Arbitrator accused of ‘partiality’ Continued from Page B-1 the entire record of evidence,” Horowitz wrote. “The testimony was direct, credible and squarely corroborated by excerpts from several of the hundreds of pages of his composition notebooks.” While the original notebooks were stolen, Horowitz allowed copies into evidence. Rodriguez’s suit accused the Major League Baseball Players Association of “bad faith,” said its representation during the hearing was “perfunctory at best” and accused it of failing to attack a civil suit filed by MLB in Florida state court as part of its Biogenesis investigation. His lawyers criticized Michael Weiner, the union head who died from a brain tumor in November, for saying last summer he recommended
Rodriguez settle for a lesser penalty if MLB were to offer an acceptable length. “His claim is completely without merit, and we will aggressively defend ourselves and our members from these baseless charges,” new union head Tony Clark said in a statement. “The players’ association has vigorously defended Mr. Rodriguez’s rights throughout the Biogenesis investigation, and indeed throughout his career. Mr. Rodriguez’s allegation that the association has failed to fairly represent him is outrageous, and his gratuitous attacks on our former executive director, Michael Weiner, are inexcusable.” The suit also claimed the MLB engaged in “ethically challenged behavior” and was the source of media leaks in violation of baseball’s confiden-
tiality rules. Rodriguez’s lawyers said Horowitz acted “with evident partiality” and “refused to entertain evidence that was pertinent and material.” They faulted Horowitz for denying Rodriguez’s request to have a different arbitrator hear the case, for not ordering Selig to testify and for allowing Bosch to claim Fifth Amendment rights against selfincrimination in refusing to answer questions during crossexamination. They also said Horowitz let the league introduce “unauthenticated documents and hearsay evidence … obtained by theft, coercion or payment,” wouldn’t allow them to examine Blackberry devices introduced by MLB and was fearful he would be fired if he didn’t side with management.
ON THE WEB Lawsuit and arbitrator’s decision: http://hosted.ap.org/ specials/interactives/ _documents/ar_complaint.pdf
Rodriguez asked the court to throw out Horowitz’s decision and find the league violated its agreements with the union and that the union breached its duty to represent him. The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos. Supreme Court decisions have set narrow grounds for judges to vacate arbitration decisions, instances such as corruption or not following the rules agreed to by the parties. The three-time AL MVP admitted five years ago he used performance-enhancing substances while with Texas from 2001-03, but the third baseman has denied using them since.
Lobos: Neal says UNLV ‘very dangerous’ Continued from Page B-1 basically just concerned on who we have next and when we play. I mean, I look at it but I don’t study it. I don’t study who beat who by how many points, or who won on the road.” If Neal were studying the standings like the UNM fans are, 3-0 might not be so appealing. A handful of Lobo faithful have crammed phone lines for Albuquerque’s call-in radio shows in recent days, most of them displeased with the team’s play during its recent road sweep at Wyoming and San Jose State. UNM needed overtime to hold off Wyoming and then, as a 14-point favorite against the league’s only winless team, struggled to get past San Jose State and its lifeless crowd. They needed a late run in the final minute to beat SJSU and got an unexpected scoring burst in OT from sophomore Cleveland Thomas to win at Wyoming. “The fans in this town are always going to have a perception of the team other than the coaches — and that’s why they’re the greatest fans in the country,” Neal said. “So, my perception of my team is we’re 3-0 in league play and 12-3 for the season. I’m not one of those guys — I’m not a glass half full or half empty. I’m a half full guy.” Some questions still surround the team, however. The Lobos have struggled shooting the ball and, contrary to their play earlier this season, have had a hard time making free throws in conference play. They’ve
missed 29 in three MWC games, including 12 against San Jose State. Neal said he had every player on the team work on his free throws Monday. He also verified that a few players with injury issues were back to full speed. Junior Deshawn Delaney appeared to be fine after hurting his knee on a dunk attempt against San Jose State while freshman Cullen Neal was back at full speed after suffering from back spasms following a fall during the Wyoming game. Delaney was temporarily removed from the SJSU game when he grabbed at his knee when he fell to the floor. “The alley oop play; his knee got caught behind him when he landed and kind of caught him in a bad spot,” Neal said. “I was really worried it was hurt worse.” Delaney had a career-high 12 points in the win at San Jose State. It’s his growth since being inserted into the starting lineup that has made a huge difference for the resurgent Lobos. They’ve won all five games since Delaney joined the starting five. “I think Deshawn’s learning.” Neal said. “I think he’s learning that when he makes a steal to push it forward and if he doesn’t like it to just pick it up. Any time I have Cullen [Neal] and Kendall [Williams] and Hugh [Greenwood] on the floor, it’s almost like having three point guards out there, which I want to have.” As for Cullen Neal, the big question wasn’t about his health. It had more to do with the fallout from his technical foul
after blowing a kiss to the Wyoming student section. “I didn’t say much,” Craig Neal said. “We’ve had 14 technicals in three years by players taunting or doing something, so I don’t think he gets singled out — at least by the coaching staff — because his name’s Neal. I know everybody else singles him out but I don’t single him out. I just told him. He’s handled it. It hurt him. It affected him, but he’ll be fine. He just knows he won’t do it again.” In UNLV, the Lobos will be facing a team that leads the MWC in rebounding and blocked shots. The Rebels are also the conference’s worst 3-point shooting team, converting just 32.2 percent of their long distance shots. Still, they’re not to be overlooked. “They’ve got two losses but they’re a very dangerous team,” Neal said. Whether that means Neal will break out the red blazer the UNM head coach usually wears for big home games remains to be seen. What is certain is Neal is happier than the fans who voice their opinions over the air. “The best thing for me is we’re 12-3, 3-0 — and you don’t want to peak in January,” he said. “Our guys understand that they have room for improvement and they’ve been very, very optimistic. They’ve been great to be around. I’m just glad that I got them home because those six-day road trips are kind of hard.”
Wayne Gretzky welcomes NHL to Dodger Stadium By Greg Beacham
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Wayne Gretzky and Luc Robitaille squinted into brilliant sunshine Monday as the 18-wheel truck carrying the NHL’s portable refrigeration units pulled up to the outfield entrance to Dodger Stadium. In less than two weeks, their Los Angeles Kings and the rival Anaheim Ducks will turn Chavez Ravine into California’s version of a winter wonderland. The NHL is staging its first warm-weather outdoor game on a hockey rink flanked by a beach volleyball court and an below-ground swimming pool in the famed baseball stadium’s outfield. The NHL’s ice-makers were already at work on a beautiful 79-degree day, and Gretzky can’t wait to see the next step in the evolution of a sport that
didn’t bloom in the California sun until the Great One moved to Los Angeles in 1988. “I’m very proud that I Wayne was a piece Gretzky of the group that was sort of responsible for stamping hockey into this area,” Gretzky said while standing on the center field grass. “It was the right group of guys, from Luc [Robitaille] to Marty McSorley to Kelly Hrudey to Tony Granato,” Gretzky added. “Each and every guy understood that this was a different market from other markets in the NHL, and these guys always went above and beyond the call of duty to go out and promote the sport and get more and more kids interested.” The game will be a landmark
for hockey in the American Southwest, which has produced a handful of NHL players and dozens more prospects in the pipeline over the past quartercentury. But the game also heralds the return of the league’s career scoring leader to hockey prominence. Gretzky has mostly stayed out of the public spotlight for five years since leaving the Phoenix Coyotes’ bench, but he will be a prominent feature during the festivities, thrilling the NHL. Accompanied to Dodger Stadium by his wife, Janet, Gretzky said he is thrilled to see an outdoor game in the city where he played nearly eight NHL seasons. Robitaille, now the Kings’ president of business operations, said Gretzky is “like our Babe Ruth, and we need him around.” “We can’t have this game without having Wayne,” Rob-
itaille added. “It’s so important he’s here. It’s so important that he be here for that game. It’s the day before his birthday, too. I’ve got to remember to have a cake.” Gretzky, Robitaille and Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau got a detailed look at early preparations for the game, which will be played after the sun goes down on Jan. 25. The NHL’s ice crews are putting down the foundation for the rink over the next few days, likely beginning the ice-making process Thursday. They will work entirely at night, gradually building up the ice sheet in colder temperatures while keeping it covered during the day. NHL ice specialist Dan Craig is intrigued by the challenge of a warm-weather game, but confident his crew will deliver a workable surface — although he won’t be getting much sleep over the next two weeks while working through the nights.

NFL PLAYOFFS NFC
Seahawks not surprised to face the 49ers again By Tim Booth
The Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — After beating up on each other twice earlier this season, Pete Carroll was not surprised to see San Francisco as the opponent coming to Seattle for the NFC championship game. He believes the division foes, with one of the most heated rivalries in the NFC, meeting for a trip to the Super Bowl is validation for how good the once-mocked NFC West has become. “This matchup is exactly what everybody is looking for and it’s an exciting one with a lot of background,” Carroll said Monday. “I’m grateful it’s coming from our division. I think our division really made a statement this year about how good we were, and lot of losses came within the division. When you look at it, this is a fantastic matchup with a great opportunity for both teams.” Seattle (14-3) advanced to the NFC title game after knocking off New Orleans 23-15 in the divisional round on Saturday. It’s the second NFC championship game appearance for Seattle and third overall having once played for the AFC title. There is familiarity and contempt when it comes to San Francisco and Seattle. They’ve played six times since San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh arrived before the 2011 season with the 49ers holding a 4-2 advantage. But of Seattle’s four losses, only one — the first — has been by more than seven points. Seattle and San Francisco split the two games this season with each winning at home. The Seahawks rolled to a 29-3 win in Week 2, and the 49ers kicked a late field goal for a 19-17 win in Week 14. Perhaps it’s appropriate that the series record is tied 15-15 heading into Sunday with more at stake than ever before. “It shows how good the NFC West has been over the past

couple of years,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said. “It’s going to be a great challenge for both teams. It’s going to be a physical game. It’s going to be a game where everybody knows each other, and everybody knows everybody’s techniques, so we just have to play great football and execute and be on time, make the plays when we need to make them.” Seattle goes into the week with two lingering injury questions. The first is with wide receiver Percy Harvin, who made his return Saturday and suffered a concussion late in the first half. Carroll emphasized Monday they will “respect the heck” out of the process for Harvin to get cleared and said Wednesday and Thursday will be the important days if he’s able to get back on the field. Harvin took two big hits in the game, the first coming from Rafael Bush on the third play and drawing a 15-yard roughing penalty. Harvin also was hit by Malcolm Jenkins as he hit the field on the play he was injured. Before he was injured, Harvin showed the flashes Seattle
believed it was getting in mass quantity when it traded for him during the offseason. Carroll said Harvin had no issues with his hip that was surgically repaired in August and the concern this week is strictly for his head. He added that Seattle playing on Saturday and Harvin having an extra day of recovery could be significant. “We’re going to take care of Percy and make sure we do the right thing. We’re not going to stretch the limits at all. We’re going to be very careful here. We’ll do that every step of the way.” Aside from Harvin, Seattle is also waiting to see if linebacker K.J. Wright will play for the first time since suffering a fracture in his right foot against San Francisco in Week 14. Wright had surgery after the injury and was back running last week. Carroll said he would be tested on Wednesday to see where he is at in his recovery. “We ran well today and over the weekend,” Carroll said. “He’ll come back out on Wednesday and we’ll see where he is. He has a chance and we’re excited for him.”
Niners: S.F. wants some payback Continued from Page B-1 and been outscored 71-16 in their last two trips to Seattle, including an embarrassing 29-3 defeat in September. The memory of those visits stings. Yet a lot has changed in four months since San Francisco last traveled some 800 miles up the Pacific Coast to face its archrival, such as the 49ers’ 19-17 victory against the Seahawks last month at Candlestick Park. That game showed this team it can go back to Seattle this time and leave with a different result even if it thunders and rains all afternoon. “Oh, man, this is everything. We’ve worked hard,” linebacker Ahmad Brooks said. “Now we need to capitalize on what we’ve been doing all year.” Be prepared from some highoctane trash talking from both sides — and even from that raucous, tremor-causing home crowd. Seattle’s secondary loves to chirp, and 49ers wideout Anquan Boldin has been talking after the play at any chance in recent weeks. “It’s playoff football. It
gets chippy between two great teams,” right guard Alex Boone said. “I wouldn’t expect anything less.” Jim Kaepernick Harbaugh improved to 4-1 in the postseason — 3-0 on the road — with Sunday’s 23-10 victory at Carolina, while Harbaugh became the first coach since the NFL’s 1970 merger to lead his team to the NFC title game in each of his first three years. Kaepernick will look to bounce back from a forgettable September performance at CenturyLink Field. San Francisco lost two fumbles and Kaepernick threw three interceptions in Week 2. On Dec. 23, 2012, a 42-13 Seattle home win, Kaepernick had an interception and the Niners lost a fumble. “We’re a different team than we were the first time we played them up there,” Kaepernick said. “We have a lot of key playmakers back and we’re
ready to go.” Three of those are Boldin, Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis. The addition of Crabtree to the mix since his Dec. 1 return from a six-month recovery from Achilles tendon surgery has changed San Francisco’s offense and passing game. Frank Gore’s ability to run the 49ers right back to a second straight Super Bowl will play a big part in the outcome Sunday, too. He rushed for 84 yards on 17 carries facing a Carolina front seven among the best in football Sunday, but was held to 16 yards on nine carries at Seattle on Sept. 15. Safety Donte Whitner speaks of the need to “take it away from them” in Seattle, where the Seahawks opened as 3-point favorites and the line moved to 3½ points Monday. “We don’t want it to end for us. We understand that we have to go up there in a hostile environment with a really good football team and do what a lot of people probably aren’t going to pick us to do,” Whitner said. “That’s OK with us. We understand what we have to do.”
NFL PLAYOFFS AFC
Brady embraces underdog role in championship showdown By Howard Ulman The Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It’s been seven years since the Patriots were underdogs in a postseason game. So Tom Brady isn’t wasting a chance to embrace that role now. If that motivational tactic is good enough for the star quarterback, it’s good enough for his teammates. “If Tom’s going to embrace it, I’m going to embrace it,” New England running back LeGarrette Blount said with a smile Monday. “That’s the leader of this team, and if that’s how he feels, I’m sure that’s how most of the guys out here feel.” For the first time in 12 postseason games, the Patriots are underdogs in Sunday’s AFC championship matchup with Peyton Manning and the Broncos in Denver. The last time the Patriots weren’t favored in the playoffs was in another conference title game against Manning when he was with Indianapolis in 2007. The Colts rallied at home for a 38-34 win after trailing 21-3 in the final minute of the first half. That also was the Patriots’ most recent playoff road game. Since then, they’re 7-2 at home and 0-2 in Super Bowls.

This season, they were underdogs at home against Denver on Nov. 24 but won 34-31 in overtime after trailing 24-0 at halftime. In their next-to-last regularseason game, the Patriots (13-4) were underdogs at Baltimore, which had won four straight games, but beat the Ravens 41-7. “I know when we played Baltimore nobody picked us to win,” Brady said during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio. “I’m sure no one’s going to pick us to win this week. We’ve had our backs against the wall for a while. Really,
the whole season we’ve lost players, and teams have really counted us out.” That may be an exaggeration. Teams don’t take the Patriots lightly. Still, Brady said, “We’ve got a bunch of underdogs on our team, and we’ll be an underdog again.” He knows what it’s like to be underestimated. Back in 2000, he wasn’t drafted until the sixth round. Teams chose 198 players before the Patriots took a chance on him. “He came into the league as a big underdog,” fullback James Develin said, “so I’m sure he’s used to that.” It’s not surprising that the Broncos (14-3) are favored. They’re at home. They have Manning throwing to a deep group of receivers. The onetwo running punch of Knowshon Moreno and Montee Ball is rolling. The defense may be suspect with five starters sidelined, but so is New England’s, which is missing four of its front seven. All the more fuel to stoke the underdog fire. “We play with a chip on our shoulder and we like to play that way,” wide receiver Danny Amendola said. New England was favored at home against the Colts in an AFC divisional-round game on Saturday night and won 43-22.

when Manning was asked for the first of what will be at least 562 times this week about his matchup with Brady, who has won 10 of the 14 games they’ve played against each other. Manning gave his usual our team against theirs answer, but this time he wasn’t just blowing smoke. Not after the Patriots scored 42 points to whip Indianapolis without Brady throwing even one touchdown pass as the Patriots took their all too familiar place in the AFC title game, and not when the Broncos are doing some running of their own. Still, it figures to be all Manning against Brady, even if the best story of the postseason may be the one no one outside of the Boston area wants to hear. If there was ever a coach you love to hate it’s Belichick, but the ever grumpy guy under the hoodie has done a remarkable job in a year most expected New England to struggle. With Welker gone and no tight ends left for Brady to throw to, Belichick was forced to reinvent the team on the fly. He did so by turning them into a run first team behind big LeGarrette Blount, who scored four touchdowns against the Colts and could be the breakout star of these playoffs. The Super Bowl that will be played in three weeks at the Meadowlands has been the talk of football all season, and with good reason. It’s the first cold weather game to be played outdoors, and it could either be a spectacle or a debacle. Two teams will get there eventually. But not before the NFL gives us one final Sunday to enjoy a pair of games so good they could be the ones we really remember.

The Hawks’ unusual week of travel began with their flight to London on Monday night. Atlanta will play the Brooklyn Nets in London on Thursday. Budenholzer said he hopes the long trip to London can help build more team unity. He said similar trips to France and Mexico for preseason games with the Spurs were good experiences. “I think the fact it’s a regular-season game changes the dynamics a little bit, but there’s still a lot of positives for our whole group, spending
time together and experiencing another country and another culture,” Budenholzer said. “Spending time together is always important, so I think we’re looking at this as a real positive for us.” The Hawks have used balanced scoring to remain over .500. Second-year player Mike Scott, who has averaged 12.8 points in the past six games, is emerging as a consistent scorer off the bench and complement to starter Paul Millsap at the power forward position formerly held by Smith.

DRAFT Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to construct a 23 unit housing development located on Tesuque Pueblo, New Mexico. The approximately 12 acre site is located off U.S. Highway 84/285 and BIA Route 804A, located in Section 3, Township 19 North, Range 9 East. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared for providing Federal financial assistance to the Northern Pueblos Housing Authority (NHPA). The project is subject to NEPA review because it is being funded with Federal funding available from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD has determined that the proposed housing development would not significantly affect the quality of the human or physical environment. It is not expected that an environment impact statement will be prepared. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the Draft EA from or may submit written comments relating to this Draft FONSI to Dan Galasso, 6501 Americas Parkway NE, Suite 400, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87110. The Draft EA and FONSI are available for review at the Northern Pueblos Housing Authority, 5 West Gutierrez, Suite 10, Santa Fe, NM 87506. No administrative action will be taken on the project before February 16, 2014 which is 30 calendar days after the public notice of this Draft FONSI.

Partner continues cheating with ex Dear Annie: I have been in a committed relationship for a year. Admittedly, my girlfriend and I (we are lesbians) rushed into things. We moved in together quickly when she broke up with her girlfriend of five years. After the first month, “Dennie” cheated on me with her ex. I wrote it off, but a few months later, she cheated again. I have generalized anxiety disorder and started to associate going to work with Dennie’s cheating, which made my work life miserable. Shortly after all of this happened, I emotionally cheated with an ex of my own. I admitted this to Dennie. She was angry and sad, but I said she should give me a second chance because I’d already given her two. I deleted my ex’s phone number and blocked her in all forms of communication. I recently found out that Dennie visited her ex when she was briefly in the hospital. It wasn’t cheating, but we had agreed that one of the conditions of continuing our relationship is that all contact with the exes must be stopped. One month later, Dennie cheated on me again with this same girl — in our home. It’s hard for me to look at Dennie the same way. My head keeps telling me to let her go, but my heart isn’t ready. I’ve asked Dennie to go with me for counseling, but she says she wants us to work it out on our own. She says she isn’t the only one at fault. We’ve both made mistakes. I can’t continue unless we both can be faithful. What should I do? — Cheated On Again Dear Cheated On: Dennie is not yet over her ex, and you seem well aware of it. You were her rebound. You desperately want Dennie to be someone she is not, and it isn’t working out. Unless you want your heart broken, please let her go.

Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might believe all is well under the advisement of a partner, but you will discover otherwise. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Someone might want to do things his or her way. Hand this person the reins and see what happens. Tonight: Juggle different invitations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your decision to accomplish certain tasks demands focus. Some of you might want to screen your calls. Unfortunately, someone might misread your lack of availability and take it personally. Tonight: Head home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your imagination comes to the rescue, no matter what you do or where you are. You could find it difficult to convince a loved one of your solution. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. Jacqueline Bigar

Hocus Focus
Dear Annie: Growing up, I thought if I had siblings, I would have learned how to get along with others my own age. But now that I have reached the ripe old age of 70, I am grateful to have been an only child. Here’s why: There was enough money to send me to college. I have read countless letters in your column complaining about siblings and have listened to the complaints of my friends about theirs. I knew it was totally on me to make decisions about my parents’ health as they became unable to do so, with no arguments from siblings. So for your readers out there who are thinking of stopping after one child, I say good idea. — Only Child in Massachusetts Dear Child: We are glad you have embraced your status. But for every person who is happy to be an only child, you will find others who could not imagine their lives without their loving siblings. Granted, people complain about their relatives, and when it comes to advice columns, you are more likely to read about problems. We know that siblings can drive you crazy — so can spouses and parents. But a good relationship with a brother or sister can be a source of comfort throughout life. Dear Annie: “A Loving and Lonely Grandma” said her teenage granddaughter avoids her because of her raspy voice. At least one of the parents is complicit in the girl’s behavior. I can understand her being embarrassed. Teenagers can be embarrassed by your breathing. But sometime in the distant past, her parents should have stopped the behavior, saying, “How would you feel if someone treated you like that because you had a different voice?” It’s a teaching moment. — S.B.
