The state labor force grew less than 1 percent during the most recent three-year period, from Jan. 1, 2011, the day Gov. Susana Martinez assumed office, through Nov, 30, 2013, according to data provided to The New Mexican by Christopher Erickson, an economist at New Mexico State University. Joining New Mexico in the bottom five for the three-year duration are Alaska, Maine, Alabama and the District of Columbia.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama shone a light Wednesday on a college sexual assault epidemic that is often shrouded in

assaults are fueled by drinking and drug use that can incapacitate victims, often at student parties at the hands of someone they know. Perpetrators often are serial offenders. One study cited by the report found that 7 percent of college men admitted to attempting rape, and 63 percent of those men admitted to multiple offenses, averaging six rapes each.
A New Mexico judge’s recent ruling that the state constitution protects the right of a terminally ill patient to seek a physician’s aid in dying is likely to be appealed. New Mexico Attorney General Gary King told The New Mexican that he was inclined to appeal the District Court ruling mere minutes after Santa Fe Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan urged an appeal during a breakfast with lawmakers Wednesday morning. “The thoughts of the Catholic Church are very influential in New Mexico policy,” King said. The case centers on a Santa Fe woman, Aja Riggs, 50, who was diagnosed with an aggressive uterine cancer and underwent major surgery, radiation therapy and six rounds of chemotherapy to battle it. Her cancer is in remission, but doctors expect it to return. Riggs joined two doctors in filing a landmark lawsuit in the state’s 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque, where Judge Nan G. Nash ruled last week that terminally ill patients do have the right to aid in dying, and that “such deaths are not considered ‘suicide’ under New Mexico’s Assisted Suicide Statute.” “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,” Nash wrote in the ruling. The ruling is ambiguous as to

secrecy, with victims fearing stigma, police poorly trained to investigate and universities reluctant to disclose the violence. A White House report highlights a stunning prevalence of rape on college campuses, with 1 in 5 female students assaulted while only 1 in 8 student victims report it. “No one is more at risk of being raped or sexually assaulted than women at our nation’s colleges and

The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating what it calls the “suspicious death” of a 51-year-old man found in a neighborhood just north of St. Michael’s Drive. Police spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said a family member reported the death at about 4 a.m. Wednesday in the 1700 block of Espinacitas Street. Westervelt said officers found what she called “suspicious evidence” at the site. Police wouldn’t release the identity of the man until they had notified more relatives, Westervelt said. However, The New Mexican reached the deceased man’s sister, who identified him as Narcisco Gonzales. The sister, who declined to share her name, said she would not comment further until police had concluded their investigation. The woman did say her brother was “a very friendly man.” Espinacitas Street residents Dave and Dolores Vigil said Gonzales, a lifelong resident of the neighborhood, lived in the casita where police were conducting their investigation. The Vigils also said Gonzales had been dealing with medical issues recently. Another neighbor, Judi Albertson, said Gonzales walked everywhere. She also said she remembered a time when she struggled to change a tire, and Gonzales helped her with the task.

NATION&WORLD In brief
JERUSALEM — Israel on Wednesday said it had foiled an “advanced” al-Qaida plan to carry out a suicide bombing on the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv and bomb other targets, in what analysts said was the first time the global terror network’s leadership has been directly involved in plotting an attack inside Israel. The Shin Bet intelligence agency said it had arrested three Palestinians who allegedly plotted bombings, shootings, kidnappings and other attacks. It said the Palestinian men, two from Jerusalem and one from the West Bank, were recruited by an operative based in the Gaza Strip who worked for al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri. The State Department said the U.S. was not yet able to corroborate the Israeli claims.

The mass protests in the capital erupted after Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych spurned a pact with the European Union in favor of close ties with Russia, which offered him a $15 billion bailout. Ukrainian opposition leaders issued a stark ultimatum to Yanukovych on Wednesday to call early elections within 24 hours or face more popular rage. EFREM LUKATSKY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Northeasterners scraped and shoveled Wednesday after a snowstorm grounded flights, shuttered schools and buried roads with a surprising amount of snow, leaving biting cold in its wake. The atmosphere was particularly frosty in New York, where the new mayor acknowledged flaws in the cleanup and some residents complained that schools remained open while children elsewhere in the region stayed home. The storm stretched from Kentucky to New England but hit hardest along the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor between Philadelphia and Boston. As much as 14 inches of snow fell in Philadelphia, with New York City seeing almost as much, and parts of Massachusetts were socked with as many as 18 inches. Temperatures were in the single digits or the teens in many places Wednesday.
chance to argue on behalf of George Stinney, 70 years after the 14-year-old black boy was sent to the electric chair for killing two white girls in South Carolina. Whether his conviction from that segregation-era court is tossed out is now up to Judge Cameron Mullen after a two-day hearing concluded Wednesday. She gave both sides at least 10 more days to consult witnesses and make more arguments. The hearing at least gave Stinney something he was denied in 1944 — his day in court. His white lawyer back then called no witnesses and did no cross-examination. He normally handled civil cases and was running to be a legislator at a time when almost all voters were white. The boy was likely the only black face in the courthouse. Frankie Dyches, the niece of 11-year-old Betty Binnicker who was killed, testified that
In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio, facing one of the first flashpoints of his weeks-old tenure, initially defended what he called a “coordinated, intense, citywide response” to a storm he said caused a worse-thanexpected headache when it ramped up at rush hour. And de Blasio, who campaigned on closing gaps between rich and poor city residents, at first rebuffed complaints that the effort had lagged on Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side, saying “no one was treated differently.” But he backtracked Wednesday evening, saying he’d determined “more could have been done to serve the Upper East Side.” About 1,400 flights were canceled Wednesday into and out of some of the nation’s busiest airports, including in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, according to according to Flightaware. The storm developed off the coast and moved up the Eastern Seaboard. Unlike the epic freeze of two weeks ago, it was not caused by the polar vortex, the winds that circulate around the North Pole.

TOPEKA, Kan. — A man who provided sperm to a lesbian couple in response to an online ad is the father of a child born to one of the women and must pay child support, a Kansas judge ruled Wednesday. Topeka resident William Marotta had argued that he had waived his parental rights and didn’t intend to be a father. Shawnee County District Court Judge Mary Mattivi rejected that claim, saying the parties didn’t involve a licensed physician in the artificial insemination process, and thus Marotta didn’t qualify as a sperm donor, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed the case in October 2012 seeking to have Marotta declared the father of a child born to Jennifer Schreiner in 2009. The state was seeking to have Marotta declared the child’s father so he can be held responsible for about $6,000 in public assistance the state provided, as well as future child support. Marotta opposed that action, saying he had contacted Schreiner and her partner at the time, Angela Bauer, in response to an ad they placed on Craigslist seeking a sperm donor. He said he signed a contract waiving his parental rights and responsibilities. Attorneys for the state contended the contract was moot because the parties didn’t follow a 1994 Kansas law requiring a licensed physician to perform the artificial insemination when donors were involved.

Court considers what porn viewer owes victim WASHINGTON — Supreme Court justices expressed compassion for a woman raped as a child as they struggled with how much money should be paid to her by one man convicted of possessing pornographic images of the abuse that have spread among thousands of online viewers. The woman known as “Amy” was in the courtroom, her legal team said, for arguments in which the justices talked frankly about the abuse she and other victims of child pornography suffer from those who look at the pictures. “The woman has undergone serious psychiatric harm because of her knowledge that there are thousands of people out there viewing her rape,” Justice Antonin Scalia said early in the hourlong arguments. Yet the court seemed to wrestle with determining how much restitution for counseling, lost income and legal fees any single defendant should be asked to pay. The justices heard an appeal from Doyle Randall Paroline, who was held liable by a federal appeals court for the nearly $3.4 million judgment associated with the ongoing Internet trade and viewing of images of Amy being raped by her uncle when she was 8 and 9 years old. Paroline had hundreds of images of children on his computer when he was arrested; two were of Amy. “He’s guilty of the crime, but to sock him with all of her psychiatric costs and everything else because he had two pictures of her. Congress couldn’t have intended that,” Scalia said in an exchange with Amy’s lawyer, Paul Cassell. The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A bipartisan commission recommended a series of steps Wednesday to make it simpler to cast ballots in the next election, but largely avoided the most politically contentious issues in a debate over voter access that has become deeply partisan. Concluding a six-month review, the Presidential Commission on Election Administration said in its report that jurisdictions should expand online voter registration and early balloting, update electronic voting equipment as first-generation voting machines grow obsolete, and share voter registration records across state lines to protect against fraud. The 112-page report also suggests improvements in the more traditional ways Americans have cast ballots. Those include increasing the number of schools used as polling places, simplifying voting for members of the military and other Americans living overseas through better access to state websites and insuring that polling places are close to voters’ homes. Together the recommendations present a comprehensive, if largely unsurprising, list of ways to making voting easier for millions of Americans, a promise President Barack Obama made on the night of his re-election. The suggestions, all of them tested at the state level, occupy what is perhaps the safest ground in the partisan debate over elections in America. The report will become part of a broader political debate over voting rights in the United States as the two major parties argue over how simple it should be for Americans to register and cast ballots while also protecting against fraud. Last week, lawmakers from both parties presented an amendment to the Voting Rights Act that proposes stricter voter ID requirements, among other steps, to change the landmark 1965 law. Republicans have argued that the federal government should not be involved in voting issues, given that administering elections is largely the responsibility of states. But Democrats have identified threats to voting access that some believe require a federal response, particularly issues involving state and local practices that have made registering to vote more difficult. The Supreme Court last year struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in a ruling that said Congress had not sufficiently taken into account the nation’s progress on issues of race in deciding which states require federal oversight to insure that the voting rights of minorities are protected. David Becker, the director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Election Initiative, which supported the commission’s work with research and data, said the recommendations have proven successful in states but “have yet to reach a critical mass” nationally. The initial reaction to the recommendations from voter advocacy groups was largely positive. Laura Murphy, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington Legislative Office, said in a statement that “overall these are a series of recommendations that make sense.” Heather Gerken, a member of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s commission on political reform, said “it is often difficult to find agreement in this fraught political environment, particularly in the area of election administration.” The commission’s recommendations are simply that — recommendations. It will be up to Obama and Congress to decide which ones deserve the most attention, something commission members acknowledge in the report.

MONTREUX, Switzerland — Furiously divided from the start, representatives of Syrian President Bashar Assad and the rebellion against him threatened Wednesday to collapse a peace conference intended to lead them out of civil war. Assad’s future in the country devastated by three years of bloodshed was at the heart of the sparring, which took place against a pristine Alpine backdrop as Syrian forces and rebel fighters clashed across a wide area from Aleppo and Idlib in the north to Daraa in the south. U.S. and U.N. officials said merely getting the two sides in the same room was something of a victory, but U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon’s claim that the discussions were “harmonious and constructive” was at odds with the testy exchange when he tried to get the podium from Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem. “You live in New York. I live in Syria,” Moallem angrily told Ban. “I have the right to give the Syrian version here in this forum. After three years of suffering, this is my right.” With little common ground, the two sides were to meet separately Thursday with a U.N. negotiator, Lakhdar Brahimi, who said he still did not know if they were ready to sit at the same table when talks begin in earnest Friday. But, Brahimi said, both sides had shown some willingness to bend on local ceasefires and delivery of humanitar-

ian aid, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said they were also working on possible terms for a prisoner exchange. The Western-backed opposition said Assad’s departure was their starting point, echoing the position laid out by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. “The resolution cannot be about one man’s — or one family’s — insistence on clinging to power,” Kerry said. The response from the government delegation was firm and blunt. “There will be no transfer of power, and President Bashar Assad is staying,” Syrian Information Minister Omran alZoubi said.

ing statements in the Swiss city of Montreux, famed for its stunning mountain views and mellow jazz festival. The waterfront road was barricaded by roadblocks and hundreds of security forces, with boats patrolling the shores of Lake Geneva day and night. The small-town venue was chosen in haste when a watchmakers’ convention left Geneva hotels booked. That made for some potentially awkward encounters — some of the opposition were staying in the
same hotel as the Syrian government delegates, as were the Americans. Complicating matters, Assad’s delegates and the Western-backed opposition Syrian National Coalition both claimed to speak for the Syrian people. But the coalition has little sway with rebel brigades, who largely oppose talks with the government. And the government, Kerry said, has no legitimacy or loyalty among people devastated by war. Overshadowing the conference was Ban’s last-minute decision to invite — and then disinvite — Iran, which has funneled billions of dollars and Shiite fighters to Assad. Syria’s civil war has become a proxy battle for regional dominance between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which funds many of the Islamist rebel movements and which Assad accuses of supporting al-Qaida-inspired militants streaming into Syria. “Those who are behind the acts of terrorism in Syria should choose between being an arsonist or a fireman. They cannot be both at the same time,” said Syrian U.N. Ambassador Bashar Jaafari. He said Syria’s government had offered a cease-fire in Aleppo, although he did not spell out the terms, and rebel commanders say the government has used past truces to buy time.

2014 Legislature
Dozens rally in support of firearm proposal Backers push bill that requires background checks at gun shows By Barry Massey
The Associated Press
A 12-year-old duck hunter joined Santa Fe’s police chief and about 100 gun safety advocates on Wednesday at a rally outside the Capitol in support of a proposal to require criminal background checks of more people who buy firearms at gun shows. Backers of the measure want Republican Gov. Susana Martinez to add the gun proposal to the agenda of the Legislature’s 30-day session. They submit-
ted about 4,000 petition signatures to the Governor’s Office. About 100 supporters of House Bill 44 crowded into the lobby of Martinez’s office, where a receptionist accepted the petitions. Enrique Knell, a spokesman for the governor, said no decision has been made on the measure, although Martinez backed similar legislation last year. Lawmakers are restricted to considering the budget, taxes and other bills allowed by the governor. The legislation would require background checks for firearms purchased from private sellers at gun shows. Federal law already provides for those checks in sales by licensed dealers, both in their stores and at gun shows. Supporters said the measure could
help reduce gun violence. “I want to be safe. My friends want to be safe,” said Ulysses Yarbrough, a sixth-grader from Santa Fe who described himself as a “safe and responsible gun owner” who hunts ducks with his father. Santa Fe Police Chief Ray Rael said the proposal wasn’t a gun control measure. “I think this is more of a people control bill. It’s an effort to try to keep people who shouldn’t have guns away from guns and keep the guns out of their hands. I think it’s common sense,” Rael said. Similar legislation passed the House last year but stalled in the Senate. Last year, Rep. Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque, helped the bill’s sponsor,
Rep. Miguel Garcia, D-Albuquerque, craft a compromise bill that won the votes of a handful of Republican legislators. Gun-rights activists heaped intense criticism on Gentry for his support of the bill. Gentry said Wednesday, “I think I’ll sit it out this year,” when asked by The New Mexican if he would be backing HB 44. Opponents contend the proposed background checks won’t stop shootings such as one this month at a Roswell school, where a seventhgrader fired a shotgun in a crowded gymnasium, wounding a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. “Our heart goes out to the families that are affected by these tragedies, but knee-jerk reactions are not the
Legislative roundup Days remaining in session: 28 Fireworks, texting and prostitution: Gov. Susana Martinez sent lawmakers a total of 30 messages that will allow consideration of issues not related to budgets or finance during the current session. The lion’s share of the messages deal with issues the governor mentioned in her State of the State address Tuesday, including automatic retention for thirdgraders who fail reading tests, merit pay for teachers, reporting child sexual abuse, prohibiting legislators from lobbying for two years after leaving office and expedited licensing for nurses from out of state. But some are for issues Martinez hasn’t spoken about lately. Among these are bills that would allow the governor to ban fireworks during drought emergencies. Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, who two years ago helped derail a fireworks bill sought by the governor, this year is sponsoring Senate Bill 94, which would give the governor more power over fireworks during emergencies. There’s also a message to allow consideration of a bill to outlaw texting while driving. Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, is sponsoring SB 19, which would do just that. Wirth said Wednesday he hopes “this is the year New Mexico joins the other 41 states that ban texting and driving.” Martinez sent a message allowing bills “relating to prostitution; including electronic and online activity as a form of promoting prostitution.” Sen. Jacob Candelaria, D-Albuquerque, and Rep. Tim Lewis, R-Albuquerque, are co-sponsoring SB 79, which would prohibit online promotion of prostitution. Lewis sponsored a similar bill last year. Archbishop prepares to resign: Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan of Santa Fe told legislators on Wednesday that he turns 75 in July and therefore must write his letter of resignation to Pope Francis. Sheehan said he expected to remain archbishop for another nine months to a year after he submits his resignation. He has been outspoken on many public policy issues. For instance, Sheehan supports the state law that enables undocumented immigrants to obtain a New Mexico driver’s license. He says the law is humane and works for the public good. Sheehan was ordained as a priest

Some of New Mexico’s tribes and lawmakers are objecting to a new gambling compact with the Navajo Nation that would allow it to build three more casinos in the state over the next 15 years. Under the proposal, the Navajo Nation, which currently operates two casinos in New Mexico, would open its third casino five years after the new compact was approved and then stagger the opening of the other two casinos at least three years apart. “Overall, we think this is a good compact,” Jessica Hernandez, Gov. Susana Martinez’s deputy chief of staff, told a panel of lawmakers Wednesday. Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly said the tribe needs more economic development, and the additional casinos would help. But some lawmakers and tribes have concerns. “We’re saturated enough,” Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, a member of the Committee on Compacts, told The Associated Press. “We don’t need anymore.” Laguna Pueblo Gov. Richard Luarkie said even though his pueblo respects the rights of the Navajos to negotiate gambling compacts with the state, the deal for more operations simply isn’t fair to other tribes. Recent changes in the proposed Navajo compact do not “change the

almost 50 years ago, in July 1964. He has been archbishop of Santa Fe since 1993. “I wouldn’t trade a day of it for anything,” he said. Sheehan said because he may still be leading the archdiocese next January, he could host one more breakfast meeting with state legislators. Fine reason to miss opening day: Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto skipped the first day of the legislative session, and he says it was a wise decision. His first child, Olivia Rae Soto, was born at 7:14 a.m. Tuesday. The 30-day session began about five hours later. Ivey-Soto, D-Albuquerque, said he thought of driving to the Capitol, but stopped himself. Instead, he spent the day with his wife, Sheri Jett, and Olivia. “In the scope of life, it was more important for me to be with my family than at opening day. I’m a family values kind of guy,” he said. Ivey-Soto, 47, is beginning his second year in the Senate. Governor, UNM coach dress down cancer: Good intentions — not bad fashion sense — compelled Gov. Susana Martinez and state lawmakers to pair sneakers with their dress clothes Wednesday at the Roundhouse. They joined in the launch of the 2014 American Cancer Society’s Suits and Sneakers campaign to raise awareness about cancer and cheer on people battling the disease and those who’ve beat it.
Martinez, University of New Mexico men’s basketball coach Craig Neal and Lobos mascot Lobo Louie were the main attractions at a rally in the Roundhouse Rotunda. Neal vowed to wear sneakers with his trademark red-and-white suit again Saturday, when his team travels to play Colorado State University. Neal is active in Coaches vs. Cancer. Since 2005, The University of New Mexico Coaches vs. Cancer program has raised more than $1 million to benefit the American Cancer Society. In the Senate, lawmakers shared stories about how cancer has touched people in their lives. Looking ahead: The Senate Finance Committee will hear a quarterly update on the Outstanding Capital Fund, review 2014 capital outlay requests and discuss a report on water-project funding at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 23 in Room 322. u Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, Richard Anklam, executive director of the New Mexico Tax Research Institute, and Bill Jordan, policy director of New Mexico Voices for Children, will speak at a Santa Fe League of Women Voters forum on tax fairness at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, at Garrett’s Desert Inn, 311 Old Santa Fe Trail.

way to do it, especially knee-jerk reactions that restrict folks’ constitutional rights,” said Rep. Dennis Roch, a Logan Republican and school administrator, in an interview. He pointed out that legally purchased firearms were used in mass killings in 2012 at a Connecticut school and a movie theater shooting in Colorado. It’s legal in New Mexico to openly carry loaded firearms in most public places, including the Capitol. However, Rep. Brian Egolf, a Santa Fe Democrat, said an effort will be made to change legislative rules to keep guns out of the Capitol.
lack of basic fairness to existing tribes, nor does it remedy the reality that the New Mexico gaming market has already reached a point of product saturation,” Luarkie told lawmakers. “Given the limited population and economic growth in New Mexico, the market doesn’t promise to be any different five years from now.” Laguna operates Route 66 and Dancing Eagle casinos near Albuquerque. Under amendments to a gambling compact approved in 2007, Laguna and eight other tribes are restricted to two casinos each. However, there is no limit on the number of casinos under the state’s current compact with the Navajo Nation and four other tribes — the Mescalero and Jicarilla Apaches as well as Acoma and Pojoaque pueblos. But Pojoaque Pueblo is currently suing the state after failing to reach a new deal. Laguna officials are concerned that the Navajos will revive a plan to construct a new casino near the Laguna Pueblo’s gambling facilities. The proposal was originally presented last year, but lawmakers said they needed more time to review the documents. The current compact between the Navajo Nation and the state, which the tribe signed in 2003, is set to expire in June 2015. The new compact calls for the Navajos to make payments under the same terms as tribes covered by the 2007 agreements with the state. Those rates are higher than what the Navajos currently pay.
Under a compact proposed in 2013, a casino making $15 million would potentially share 8.5 percent of its adjusted net win, while a casino making more than $150 million would potentially share 10.75 percent of its adjusted net win by 2037. Under the compact presented Wednesday, casinos making $15 million would potentially share 9.25 percent instead. Navajo Nation Council Delegate LoRenzo Bates said if the compact is approved, the nation would decide where to build its new casinos after it has conducted market studies. Pojoaque Pueblo Gov. George Rivera, whose administration is suing the state after it was unable to come to an agreement on a new gambling compact, said he wants the revenue sharing percentage to be lowered. He added that adding more gambling could be an economic blow to tribes. “The whole philosophy of the negations has been off and hasn’t been able to be corrected,” Rivera said. “Revenue sharing has become a one-sided win for the state.” The Committee on Compacts will hold a meeting at a later date to consider whether to recommend its approval of the Navajo gaming compact by the House and Senate. The measure also would need approval from the U.S. Department of the Interior. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
New Mexico’s three Catholic bishops made no mention Wednesday of the legalization of same-sex marriage when they met with dozens of state lawmakers. Instead, the bishops focused their attention on five other measures, notably a constitutional amendment that would pour about $100 million more each year into early-childhood education. “We’ve got to help kids have a chance,” said Michael J. Sheehan, archbishop of Santa Fe. Spending money to put infants and toddlers on the right path in life means that New Mexico will have more high school and college graduates and fewer people in prison, Sheehan said. The proposal is controversial. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez opposes tapping the state’s $12 billion land-grant endowment in order to help fund early-childhood programs. So does state Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, who heads the Senate Finance Committee. Smith declined to give the proposal a vote in his committee last year after it cleared the House of Representatives. He said the initiative was fiscally irresponsible because it could erode the endowment. The endowment, called the Land Grant Permanent Fund, grows through a combination of royalties from leasing of public lands, often for oil and gas exploration. The state manages the endowment. This includes distributions and investments to grow the endowment. Currently, more than $500 million a year is spent from the endowment on public programs, mostly public schools that serve children in kindergarten through 12th grade. The bishops say the endowment would continue to grow, though more slowly, if income from it was used for early-childhood development. They and other proponents are again lobbying legislators to put the amendment on the November ballot so voters can make the final decision. Sheehan and Bishops Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces and James S. Wall of Gallup also renewed their support for a law that enables undocumented immigrants to obtain New Mexico driver’s licenses. Martinez wants to repeal that law. Cantu said the federal immigration system is broken. New Mexico took a step to fix it regionally by allowing immigrants the privilege of driving, he said.
He said the state’s law has improved public safety because licensed drivers know the rules of the road and are listed in police databases. Cantu said immigrants with licenses can drive lawfully to their job, support their family and pay taxes. Martinez did not attend the breakfast meeting with the bishops, but she knows their position. All 50 Republicans in the 112-member Legislature have joined her in opposing the licensing law. They say it inspires fraud at Motor Vehicle Division offices and causes security problems by providing government-issued identification to people who are in the country unlawfully. Most Democrats in the Legislature have voted to keep the law, which has been on the books since 2003. Abortion, the minimum wage and marijuana are other topics the bishops are monitoring. The bishops said they would support legislation requiring physicians to notify parents if a girl seeks an abortion. Allen Sanchez, a spokesman for the bishops, said they would agree to limiting the notifications to parents of girls 15 or younger. They want to study amendments to increase the state’s minimum wage and to legalize marijuana. Most of New Mexico has a minimum wage of $7.50 an hour. Albuquerque and Santa Fe have higher minimums. As for marijuana, Colorado has legalized recreational use of the drug. Cantu said this provides the opportunity for New Mexico to study the effects. “We need to be quite cautious,” he said. “Many have used it as an entry to more dangerous drugs.” The bishops said nothing about same-sex marriage, which the New Mexico Supreme Court last month ruled is legal. Sanchez said the bishops probably would support a constitutional amendment by Sen. Bill Sharer, R-Farmington that, if approved by voters, would define marriage as between one man and one woman. “But right now, we have an emergency on the earlychildhood issue,” Sanchez said. “That is their priority for this session.” Contact Milan Simonich at 986-3080 or msimonich@ sfnewmexican.com.

Combat: Crimes are often underreported Continued from Page A-1 Obama, who has overseen a military that has grappled with its own crisis of sexual assaults, spoke out against the crime as “an affront on our basic decency and humanity.” He then signed a memorandum creating a task force to respond to campus rapes. Obama said he was speaking out as president and a father of two daughters, and that men must express outrage to stop the crime. “We need to encourage young people, men and women, to realize that sexual assault is simply unacceptable,” Obama said. “And they’re going to have to summon the bravery to stand up and say so, especially when the social pressure to keep quiet or to go along can be very intense.” Obama gave the task force, comprised of administration officials, 90 days to come up with recommendations for colleges to prevent and respond to the crime, increase public awareness of each school’s track record and enhance coordination among federal agencies to hold schools accountable if they don’t confront the problem. Records obtained by The Associated Press under the federal Freedom of Information Act illustrate a continuing problem for colleges in investigating crime. The documents include anonymous complaints sent to the Education Department, often alleging universities haven’t accurately reported oncampus crime or appropriately punished assailants as required under federal law. A former Amherst College student, Angie Epifano, has accused the school of trivializing her report of being raped in a dorm room in 2011 by an acquaintance. She said school counselors questioned whether she was really raped, refused her request to change dorms, discouraged her from pressing charges and had police take her to a psychiatric ward. She withdrew from Amherst while her alleged attacker graduated. Among the federal laws requiring colleges to address sexual assault are: Title IX, which prohibits gender discrimination in education; the renewed Violence Against Women Act, which was signed into law last year with new
provisions on college sexual assault; and the Clery Act, which requires colleges and universities to publicly report their crime statistics every year. The Education Department has investigated and fined several schools for not accurately reporting crimes. Most notably was a 2006 case at Eastern Michigan University, in which the government eventually fined the school a then-record $357,000 for not revealing a student had been sexual assaulted and murdered in her dorm room. Violent crime can be underreported on college campuses, advocates say, because of a university’s public-image incentive to keep figures low, or because crimes can occur off campus and instead investigated by local police. Other times, schools put such suspects before a campus court whose proceedings are largely secret and not subjected to judicial review. Students Active for Ending Rape, a nonprofit group that works with student activists to push for sexual assault policy changes on their campuses, said in a report last year that schools often do not fully address the problem. The report gave more than 80 percent of college policies a grade C or below, an F to nearly one-quarter and said one-third don’t fully comply with the Clery Act. The White House report also declares that the criminal justice response to sexual assault broadly is too often inadequate and lays out a goal of increasing arrest, prosecution and conviction rates without any specific targets. The report blames police bias and a lack of training to investigate and prosecute sex crimes for low arrest rates and says the federal government should promote training and help police increase testing of DNA evidence collected from victims. The report mentions sexual assaults in the military — Obama last month directed the Pentagon to better prevent and respond to the crime within its ranks or face further reforms. White House officials say they want to set the example by turning around the sexual assault problem in the military. “I’ve made it clear I expect significant progress in the year ahead,” Obama said.

Death: DA’s Office surveyed crime scene Continued from Page A-1 None of the neighbors interviewed Wednesday knew what had happened to Gonzales. The police department would not say Wednesday night if the case was
still considered a “suspicious death” or if it had been ruled a homicide. Westervelt also said members of the District Attorney’s Office had surveyed the scene. Last week, police initially described the Jan. 15 death of 74-year-old Larry Roybal
at his Don Diego Avenue home as suspicious, then declared it to be the city’s first homicide of the year. Police have yet to identify any suspects in that case. Contact Chris Quintana at 986-3093.
suicide: Discussions for appeal ongoing Continued from Page A-1 whether it applies statewide or just in Bernalillo County. “I think it’s likely that we will appeal,” King said Wednesday. “This does seem to be a case where an appeal would be good to get some final determination that applies statewide.” King and numerous lawmakers attended the 23rd annual New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops legislative breakfast before the Legislature convened Wednesday. Sheehan opened his remarks by asserting the Catholic Church’s opposition to assisted suicide. “The church teaches that life is sacred from conception through to natural death,” he said. The archbishop dismissed criticisms that the church’s position is cruel or out of step with the times. “This assisted-suicide thing concerns me,” Sheehan said. “I foresee dangerous consequences.” Families looking to protect their inheritances from expensive, prolonged
end-of-life health care could feel pressure to end relatives’ lives prematurely, Sheehan predicted. He also expressed doubt that sufficient safeguards are in place to assure that patients are of sound mind when they elect to end their lives with a doctor’s help. King said discussions with 2nd District Attorney Kari Brandenburg are ongoing about possible grounds for an appeal. The most likely point of legal attack is which arm of government has appropriate jurisdiction to establish physicianassisted suicide policy. “This is a decision that’s sort of in the realm of the state Legislature,” King said. The Attorney General’s Office had argued in the Riggs case that a 50-yearold New Mexico law that makes assisting in a suicide a felony offense applies to doctors who help patients die. The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and the national advocacy group Compassion & Choices, however, argued that doctors administering
lethal doses of medication to terminally ill patients of sound mind who want to hurry their deaths are protected by the constitution. Nash accepted the attorney general’s argument, but ruled that the rights afforded by the New Mexico Constitution supersede it. “If decisions made in the shadow of one’s imminent death regarding how they and their loved ones will face that death are not fundamental and at the core of these constitutional guarantees, [then] what decisions are?” Nash wrote in her opinion. Doctors can legally aid in dying by statute in Oregon, Washington and Vermont, and on authority of a state Supreme Court opinion in Montana. Hawaii has no criminal prohibition against assisted suicide. Information from the Los Angeles Times was included in this report. Contact Patrick Malone at pmalone@ sfnewmexican.com.
Last: Leaders say initiatives will add 160,000 jobs over 10 years Continued from Page A-1 The analysis this year shows there was some job growth during the Martinez administration, as a year ago the state was one of two still showing employment losses. Both the governor and lawmakers have vowed to put jobs and economic development at the fore of the 30-day legislative session that opened this week — and the first words Gov. Martinez spoke during her State of the State speech were, “Our focus must be on two of the most pressing issues, jobs and education.” For her administration, that means more job training, recruitment of college researchers and professors, expanding the health care workforce and tax incentives for business startups. But experts say that might not make a big difference with voters and business leaders, as the governor and many lawmakers face re-election in coming months. “They’re still very concerned and they’re scared. They’re really not feeling that comeback,” said Beverlee J. McClure, president of the Association of Commerce and Industry, who served alongside lawmakers on an interim committee called the Jobs Council to develop an economic development strategy for New Mexico. “But we saw the states that are adding jobs, the states that are coming back from the recession, have a plan and that plan is statewide and is regionalized so every region has a piece of that. It’s a very, very important first step.” “New Mexico is the most reliant state in the nation on the federal government,” Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell said Wednesday, “and the dysfunction in Washington hits New Mexico in a disproportionate way, affecting revenues and causing employment growth in certain parts of the private sector to be offset by government job losses. ” As for lawmakers, House Speaker
JobLess numbers Alternative measures of unemployment in New Mexico: u Marginally and involuntarily part-time in 2007, 27,000; in 2012, 51,000 u Unemployed in 2007, 70,000; in 2012, 137,000 SOURCE: UNM BUREAU OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH
Kenny Martinez of Grants, Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen of Las Cruces and others spoke Wednesday about a decades-long approach for job growth. After meeting during the interim as the Jobs Council, lawmakers as well as business and industry leaders said they have initiatives that will add 160,000 jobs in New Mexico over the next 10 years, a sevenfold increase over today’s pace. The council came up with the number as part of an estimate of what it will take to gain full employment in the state — based on population growth, future job losses and worker migration. “This is a very strategic architecture of job creation,” House Speaker Martinez said Wednesday. But don’t expect a quick fix. “New Mexico’s slow growth is attributable to federal sequestering,” economics professor Erickson in an email last week. “Federal spending accounts for a higher share of income in New Mexico than in any other state. Of course, many have argued for reduced dependence on federal spending as important to development in New Mexico, but how to get there from here is not obvious. Certainly, there are no quick fixes.” Likewise, Mark Lautman an economic development consultant hired by the Legislature, said Wednesday that agreeing on a plan and sticking with it is more important than throwing money at things that might not work.
“When you start speaking about rankings, where we can be, that’s pretty tough because you don’t know what everybody else is going to do,” Lautman said. “This isn’t a spigot you turn on and off. Job creation is a lot harder now than it was six or seven years ago.” What the governor and the Legislature did last session — business tax cuts and reform, tourism promotion and job training — will improve the employment numbers, but “you can’t just drop all the money and all the resources in one session and expect everything to turn around the next year,” he said. “It takes two or three years to get rolling, and it’s really a dog-year’s game — it takes about seven years for things to really move the needle.” Speaker Martinez and Papen say the work of the Jobs Council will be extended another year. For this session, however, it is requesting money for the following: u $10 million for a discretionary closing fund to draw projects pursuant to the Local Economic Development Act. u $2 million for a Cooperative Marketing program, which will allow participants in the certified cities program to hire additional people to help regions focus economic growth in targeted fields. u $1.5 million for New Mexico Partnership to expand for outreach and marketing. u $1.5 million for the Job Training Incentive Program to make it permanent. u $250,000 to develop and test a job-creation program focused on solo workers who work on contract for firms around the United States. u $200,000 for certified business incubators. u $100,000 to fund and support regional efforts to pilot a program for forest restoration and biomass development on U.S. Forest Service land.
“
New Mexico’s slow growth is attributable to federal sequestering. Federal spending accounts for a higher share of income in New Mexico than in any other state. Of course, many have argued for reduced dependence on federal spending as important to development in New Mexico, but how to get there from here is not obvious. Certainly, there are no quick fixes.” Christopher Erickson, an economist at New Mexico State University
u $2.5 million to expand marketing and develop visitor-experience activities for the Department of Tourism. u$500,00 for online customer service training in the hospitality and tourism fields. u $150,000 for the Higher Education Department to develop a workforce gap-forecasting model that will identify the number of jobs that will be needed in the future, and the skills, knowledge and experience that those jobs will require. The Jobs Council also is pushing an expanded summer youth employment program that would include mentoring; a grant program that can help local groups with their recruiting efforts; and a pilot project that would fund physics education in middle schools. Kenny Martinez said the outline of the Jobs Council is to target specific industries in specific regions and then track results. So every dollar spent by the Legislature for economic development should be tied to job growth in the targeted sectors — manufacturing, digital media, tourism, health and social services, emerging technologies, health, export services, solo independent workers, and agriculture are among the projected growth sectors. Some of the proposals are already in the governor’s budget and Knell, the governor’s spokesman, said “there’s plenty of room for common ground,” especially with increasing money for tourism, job training and finding a way to close the deal for businesses who want to come to New Mexico. “The Jobs Council has also talked about the importance of a strong clos-
ing fund in New Mexico — one that will allow us to compete with other states to attract companies and jobs to the state. Unfortunately, the LFC’s budget underfunds this economic development tool,” Knell said. “We only received $3.3 million last year, and the LFC is only proposing $4 million for the coming year. This sort of underfunding does not help us compete for jobs.” In her Tuesday speech, the governor also touted a new report from Ernst & Young that shows the business tax cuts and reforms from last session are starting to get noticed. She said New Mexico now has the best manufacturing tax structure in the West and has enacted “the most significant tax reform in a generation” that is “sending the loudest message yet that New Mexico is striving to become a business-friendly state.” Terry Brunner, state director of rural development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who serves on the Jobs Council, also said Wednesday that New Mexico needs to be smarter with the way it interacts with the federal government and show it has defined economic targets and priorities. “What other states are doing is readjusting to the new federal climate,” he said. Don’t just “sit back and take the cuts, but be aggressive and thoughtful in how to work with the feds these days.” Brunner added that 160,000 jobs “is a huge lift for this state. However, if you have clear targets and a strategy behind it, you can get it done.” Contact Bruce Krasnow at brucek@ sfnewmexican.com.

In March, hourly pay will jump to $10.66, the third-highest in the nation
City raises minimum wage
Shelbie Loomis, 21, serves frozen yogurt to Santa Fe teens Alex Catanach and Kayla Romero on Wednesday at Yoberry Frozen Yogurt, 3466 Zafarano Drive. The city of Santa Fe’s minimum wage is set to rise to $10.66 per hour from $10.51 on March 1, meaning that many workers like Loomis will get a raise. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

inimum-wage workers in Santa Fe are getting a raise. The minimum wage will increase 15 cents to $10.66 an hour starting March 1. The city’s Living Wage Ordinance was adopted in 2003 to establish minimum hourly rates. It was amended by the City Council in 2007 to tie the minimum wage to annual increases in the Consumer Price Index for the Western region, which the city said Wednesday has gone up 1.4 percent. Santa Fe’s minimum wage is the third-highest in the nation, after SeaTac, Wash., which is $15 an hour, and San Francisco, which is $10.74 an hour. News of Santa Fe’s wage increase generated mixed opinions. Mayor David Coss, who co-sponsored the ordinance as a city councilor, said in a statement that he continues to be proud that Santa Fe passed the ordinance in 2003. “This modest increase will help our workers continue to take care of their families and not fall further behind in the modern economy,” he said. But Simon Brackley, president and CEO of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce, said

Santa Fe County Animal Control officers are seeking information about a dog that was found shot Wednesday in La Cienega. The 18-month-old female Queensland heeler is being treated at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society after she was picked up near La Luna Road on Wednesday afternoon. Animal control officers said they rescued the dog after a someone spotted it near their property.

“We think it’s very unlikely for one of the candidates to take the lead on this issue at this time,” he said. “However, some councilors have expressed interest in a conversation about capping it.” Sam Bregman, chairman of the state Democratic Party, said there’s a nationwide discussion about increasing the minimum wage. In New Mexico, he said, Democrats are pushing for a constitutional amendment in November asking voters to increase the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour. “It is a fundamental core value with the Democratic Party that we increase the minimum wage for working people here in New Mexico. Nobody should work a 40-hour week and be substantially below the poverty line,” he said. Bregman said an increase would be good for the state’s economy because it would put more money in people’s pockets to spend. “The city of Albuquerque and the city of Santa Fe both have higher minimum wages than statewide, and no one can point to me one business that went out of business because of the increase in the minimum wage in either one of those two cities,” he said. “It simply is a false argument with no data to back it up.”
local businesses pass the salary increases on to their customers. “It will make Santa Fe even less competitive than other neighboring communities,” he said. “Santa Feans are going to be more likely to go and shop elsewhere.” The chamber has advocated a cap on the minimum wage. But Brackley said the effort is Contact Daniel J. Chacón at 986-3089 or on hold during election season. dchacon@sfnewmexican.com.
Dr. Jennifer Steketee, the shelter’s medical director, said it’s likely the animal was shot twice. One bullet remains lodged in the dog’s shoulder. The dog is being treated and will likely need surgery on a fractured leg once she has been stabilized. The bullet wounds appear to be recent, Steketee said. Those with information about the dog or the shooting are asked to call the Santa Fe County Animal Control Office at 992-1626 or Animal Control Dispatch at 428-3720.
Report of threat shuts down Española school New Mexico State Police investigated a possible threat that shut down an Española public charter school Wednesday.
Spokesman Sgt. Damyan Brown said state police received “second- and third-hand reports” at 7 a.m. Wednesday of a potential threat at the McCurdy Charter School. Brown said a student reported receiving a text warning the student not to go to school because something would happen. School was canceled Wednesday, but an employee at the school confirmed classes would be held Thursday. Brown said investigators found the 15-yearold boy who allegedly made the threat. The teen’s parents allowed officers to search the home and question the boy at the Española state police station. Brown said investigators didn’t find any evidence to substantiate the threat.

Ex-prosecutor under Martinez makes AG bid Riedel appointed to state Public Defender Commission last year By Steve Terrell The New Mexican
Susan Riedel, who worked under Gov. Susana Martinez when she was the district attorney in Las Cruces, announced Wednesday that she’s seeking the Republican nomination for attorney general. “New Mexico deserves a strong prosecutor as attorney general,” Riedel said in a news release. “I will stand up and fight against those who would prey on the weak and try to take advantage of the public. I will enforce the laws of New Mexico to ensure that dangerous criminals are put behind bars.” Much of the time Riedel worked in Martinez’s office, she was chief deputy district attorney. After Martinez Susan Riedel became governor, she appointed Riedel to a vacant judge’s post in Doña Ana County. Riedel’s news release said she “retired” from the bench in 2012. Actually, Riedel was defeated in the general election that year when she ran for the judgeship. Riedel worked on some high-profile cases, including the “Baby Brianna” child-abuse/murder case and the conviction of Jesse Avalos for the murder of New Mexico State University freshman Carly Martinez. Last year, the governor appointed Riedel to the state Public Defender Commission, a fact that Riedel doesn’t include in the biography that accompanied her announcement. The state Criminal Defense Lawyers Association called Riedel’s appointment to the commission a “slap in the face” to defendants who can’t afford private lawyers, as well as to people who voted for an independent public defender’s office. Her appointment also was opposed by some Democratic lawmakers, including House Judiciary Committee Chairwoman Gail Chasey and House Majority Whip Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, both of Albuquerque. Riedel briefly was chairwoman of the Doña Ana County Republican Party last year, after the previous chairman, David Clements, resigned. Riedel faces political newcomer Jim Baiamonte, an Albuquerque Republican, in the GOP primary. State Auditor Hector Balderas is the only Democrat who has announced for the job. Many thought Clovis District Attorney Matt Chandler, who was the GOP nominee for attorney general in 2010, would run again. However, this week Chandler announced he would resign from his job March 1 to go into private practice.
PNM presents plan for closing coal-power units By Staci Matlock The New Mexican
Regulators agreed Wednesday to consider a request by the state’s largest electric utility to abandon half its coal-fired units at the San Juan Generating Station in northwestern New Mexico. Public Service Company of New Mexico has applied to retire two of the station’s four coal-fired units in order reduce haze in the region, as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. PNM wants to replace power from the units with a combination of nuclear, solar and more coal-generated power from one San Juan unit. The company also is seeking the commission’s approval to recoup from customers the costs of replacing the coal-fired power. The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission appointed a hearing examiner, and people have 14 days to comment on the company’s 702-page application. New Mexico Industrial Energy Consumers, which represents companies such as Intel and Honeywell and The University of New Mexico, filed a motion Tuesday to intervene in the case, saying PNM’s plans for the San Juan Generating Station could affect the utility rates of the organization’s members. In other action, the five elected regulators gave people until Feb. 4 to file responses to several motions made to rehear yet again a still controversial renewable energy rule. The rule, which regulators revamped last fall, partially determines how much solar, wind, geothermal and other renewable energy is added by the state’s investor-owned utility companies like PNM. New Mexico Independent Power Producers, the New Mexico Green Chamber of Commerce, Western Resource Advocates and the Coalition for Clean, Affordable Energy have all filed motions asking the commission to rehear its final order on the renewable energy rule approved last November. Lightning Dock Geothermal supports rehearing the rule but opposes amendments by the Independent Power Producers and the New Mexico Green Chamber of Commerce that changed the renewable energy certificate value for each megawatt of electricity generated from non-solar, non-wind sources.
Summary of planS u Buy 78 more megawatts of coal-fired power from San Juan Generating Station Unit 4. u Add 134 megawatt capacity from Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Phoenix. u Build 177 megawatts from a natural gas plant in Farmington. u Add 40 megawatts of solar power.

Truth about misunderstood pit bulls
H
e looked into her eyes. His eyes were dark brown, soulful. She put her hand on his head. “Sam,” she said, “You are so sweet.” Sam, a little shy, paused for a moment and then slowly put his paw on her shoulder. Yes, Sam was a dog. A blockheaded, quiet pit bull. The girl was my Hersch daughter, Wilson Sullivan. Tales of Tails The location was the Santa Fe animal shelter, where we both volunteer. It was love at first sight. Although Sully would say that it was a Corgi named Rico who first stole her heart. But Rico was quickly adopted and moved on. I, of course, held the normal concerns about pit bulls. I was her dad! Rico had been a fun, floppyeared lap dog. But a pit bull? What kind of future could she have liking pit bulls? Where would they live? Who would be their friends? Because, you know what kind of dogs they are … right? And the people who own them. … Am I right? OK, so I’m wrong. About pit bulls and the people who own them. I was holding on to stereotypes about both. But, like many of the stereotypes we hold, there are grains of truth surrounded by oceans of conjecture and rumors. As usual, the truth is more complicated. I found this out by doing what any concerned dad would do when dealing with a dewy-eyed daughter and her newest “love.” I went to an expert. In this case, the most passionate and knowledgeable dog person in Santa Fe, Mary Martin, the executive director of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society. Mary, by the way, also lives with an adopted pit bull. One stereotype busted! My question was how to reconcile sweet Sam with the image of pit bulls and some facts. Example fact: Pit bulls are banned in England. “Pit bulls,” Mary started out, “are not the problem. They have a problem.” The problem being multifold. First, they are a “fad” dog. This means lots of people not only want them, but they are breeding pit bulls, which means there are a lot of un-neutered male pit bulls. According to the American Humane Association, approximately 92 percent of fatal dog attacks involved male dogs, 94 percent of which were not neutered. (So, um, neuter your male dogs!) Next, the “typical” owner of pit bulls tends to be, according to Mary, a younger segment of our society. They are the most mobile and the least settled. In other words, they are most likely to get a “faddish” dog and not neuter it. Then when they move or “change their minds,” they leave the dog with their parents or bring them to a shelter. Or worse, they just abandon them. Those dogs also tend to end up in shelters, confused and lost. Although it seems less of problem now, there were generations of pit bulls bred for aggression, specifically dog-on-dog aggression. Yet here was Sam. Quiet as a mouse. The next thing I noticed volunteering at the shelter was that pit bulls were over-represented compared to other dogs. This seemed to confirm that a lot of pit bulls were “given up on” by their owners. Mary added that another reason there were lots of pit bulls and mixes was that on average, it took 300 times longer for pit bulls to be adopted than other breeds. Sam, for example, had been a resident of the shelter since October 2013. Nessa, another pit bull, had been a shelter guest for over a year. And then of course, perception becomes reality. A pit bull attacks a dog or a person and it’s “the shot heard round the world.” In New Mexico, there have been a lot of “shots” recently. Thus, people come to the shelter,
for adoption.” But Sam? He was so quiet, calm and loving. … Nope, there was still a piece of the puzzle missing. It’s pretty clear what that missing piece is: It’s us. How we train and treat dogs is vital. Train a dog to be aggressive and the dog will be aggressive. Don’t neuter the same dog and you are looking for a problem, maybe a tragedy. Chain a dog, ignore a dog, leave a dog to his or her own devices: Same thing, you are asking for trouble. Dogs are not adornments, a fad or something to “own” for a summer. If we can’t commit to the long-term care and training of a dog, we need to care Sullivan Wilson cuddles with Sam, a homeless dog looking enough not to acquire one. This for a new family, at the Santa Fe animal shelter. Pit bulls goes double for pit bulls. and pit bull mixes take much longer to find new homes than But if you are reading this, other breeds. COURTESY HERSCH WILSON you know all this. So spread the word! Let’s do right by our dogs are treated like any other dog, and many are just plain nervous and especially the pit bulls. with the same expectations. about those big blocky-headed And, as Sully would add: They are tested for dog-to-dog dogs.

e found Goldie at the Española Animal Shelter. She must have been a feral dog before she came to the shelter, because she never lost her wildness. She was a black dog with white paws, but our children named her Goldie because of the rings of light brown hair behind her ears. She was an outdoors dog, and loved to go on long walks with the family. She chased coyotes and rabbits, moving as fast as any wild animal. She was part greyhound, and ran constantly. Goldie is the reason we know our veterinarian’s phone number by heart. She was not afraid of anything except for lightning and fireworks. She was anxious to challenge fast-moving cars, mean dogs and wild animals. In spite of broken limbs, deep cuts, scrapes and broken teeth, she was always ready for the next showdown. Her human family, Meade, Robin, Laura and Elliott, will miss her. We will especially miss feeling the soft fur on her ears. She was our Alpha dog, and her canine companions Pepper and Chimo will miss her too. We are grateful to the staff at Valley Vet, who took care of her for 15 years.

Texas executes man despite opposition Mexican citizen killed police officer in 1994 By Michael Graczyk The Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A Mexican national was executed Wednesday night in Texas for killing a Houston police officer, despite pleas and diplomatic pressure from the Mexican government and the U.S. State Department to halt the punishment. Edgar Tamayo, 46, received a lethal injection for the January 1994 fatal shooting of Officer Guy Gaddis, 24. Asked by a warden if he had a final statement, he mumbled “no” and shook his head. As the lethal dose of pentobarbital began taking effect, he took a few breaths and then made one slightly audible snore before all movement stopped. He was pronounced dead 17 minutes after the drug was administered, at 9:32 p.m. CST. The execution, the first

The execution came after the U.S. Supreme Court and lower federal courts rejected last-day appeals and Texas officials spurned arguments that Tamayo’s case was tainted because he wasn’t informed, under an international agreement, that he could get legal help from the Mexican consulate after his arrest for the officer’s slaying.

New Mexico has been ravaged by extreme drought over the past few years.

Included in the article is Los Alamos’ enigmatic history as a World War II-era top secret facility where the first nuclear bomb was created. As noted in the article, the city was originally established to house the scientists involved in the Manhattan Project, later revealed to the public in 1950. Scientists skied at Pajarito Mountain and even manufactured their own rope tow inside the lab. To this day, Pajarito Mountain is still operated by the local ski club that originated during that time, and is easily accessible six miles outside of town. But so far this season, the ski area has

CMI ranks third on the list, after Brigham Young University and the University of Texas-Austin, which scored in first and second place, respectively. The programs were evaluated based on academic reputation, admission selectivity, depth and breadth of the program and faculty, value as it relates to tuition and geographic location. “I think there is an increasing number of opportunities for creative media students because more and more people realize that storytelling is profoundly effective at influencing any audience,” said Derek Fisher, animation instructor in CMI.

Keep roadsides free of glare
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON his is a Jolly time for corporate power. Last week, as lawmakers, including most Republicans in Congress, approved a $1.1 trillion spending bill that eased federal spending restraints, voters in Florida gave the clearest sign yet that corporate influence is back in its customary place atop the GOP. In a Republican primary for a special election to replace the late Rep. C.W. “Bill” Young, there were three candidates on the ballot: u Mark Bircher, a tea party candidate endorsed by a movement favorite, former representative Allen West. u State Rep. Kathleen Peters, who billed herself as a mainstream conservative with deep local ties. u And David Jolly, a corporate lobbyist with a history of giving to Democratic candidates as well as Republicans. The results, in a light turnout: 24 percent for the tea party candidate, 31 percent for the local pol and 45 percent for the lobbyist. Jolly’s superior fundraising — including hefty chunks from business executives and lobbyists — no doubt had something to do with it. Jolly’s good showing is a happy event for the influence industry — and Democrats are equally exultant. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has just begun running a TV ad showing a video clip of Jolly in which he says, “I have been a registered lobbyist and I’m proud of the work that I’ve done.” Federal records show that Jolly, once an aide to Young, built a healthy business as a lobbyist for defense contractors and others seeking a
T
N larger piece of the federal pie: corporations, local governments, universities, hospitals, broadcasters and a group that favored expanded oil drilling. Arguably, corporations never really lost their hold on the Republican Party (and a somewhat looser grip on the Democrats). The wealthy exploited the grass-roots anger of the tea party all along — such as when Glenn Beck, the movement’s de facto leader, urged his followers in 2010 to donate to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. But corporate interests were displeased that the brinkmanship practiced by tea party lawmakers sometimes turned out to be bad for business. After the government shutdown in the fall, the chamber announced that it would spend $50 million in the 2014 GOP primaries to help “pro-business” Republicans beat tea party candidates. Even without business interests putting their dollars behind friendly candidates, the tea party has lost clout because the anger that once fueled the movement is fading. Frustration with government remains high, but The Conference Board, a corporate group that tracks consumer confidence, said in its most recent report that consumer
sentiment regarding current economic conditions has reached its highest level since April 2008, before the financial meltdown. The spreading optimism has put into question the tea party’s warnings of an American collapse and attendant exhortations to buy gold and stockpile arms and food. But now we’ve reached a new milestone in the Republican search for identity: the point where a man proud of his work as a lobbyist trumps a retired Marine general embraced by the tea party. Both Bircher and Peters criticized Jolly’s lobbying work during the primary. A day after her loss, Peters declined to endorse Jolly, saying it would “weigh heavily on the voters, to have a lobbyist who represents special interests to now say that they’re going to represent the people and be able to separate that.” Peters has since endorsed Jolly, but his Democratic opponent in the March election, Alex Sink, is likely to make much the same case. Over half a dozen years, Jolly, first with the lobbying firm Van Scoyoc and then with his own firm, Three Bridges Advisors, represented several military or homeland security contractors, includ-
ing Mikros Systems, Finmeccanica and STS International. Among the many entities he represented were BayCare Health System, broadcast groups, biotech concerns and something called The Implementation Group, which says it helps corporations and nonprofits “target, capture and implement federal grants and contracts.” Somewhat contradictorily, Jolly also represented Free Enterprise Nation, which opposes “unsustainable spending by the government.” This group caused Jolly some trouble in the primary, when a voter at a forum asked the candidate if he had lobbied for oil-drilling interests. Jolly adamantly denied it. But PolitiFact found a 2011 lobbying disclosure in which Jolly said he worked for Free Enterprise Nation on legislation that would indeed have expanded oil drilling. Jolly then explained that the disclosure he filed was a case of “overcomplying” and that he hadn’t really lobbied for the bill. Overcomplying, eh? Sounds as if Jolly is overreaching. But his victory shows that, in the Republican Party, corporate influence is again overarching. Follow Dana Milbank on Twitter @milbank.
ew Mexico has worked too hard in preserving its night skies to allow lighted electronic billboards to pollute the darkness at night. Department of Transportation commissioners will vote Thursday on rules regulating electronic billboards. That vote should be a resounding no. If an outright ban is not possible, the rules should be so strict as to discourage the signs. As Margaret Lloyd, part-time Santa Fe resident and vice chairwoman of Scenic America put it: The electronic billboards “create a visual blight along highways and are unnecessary.” Advertisers supposedly like the billboards because they can change the message often, responding to the marketplace or events. Further, they can run multiple messages. Before 2007, the Federal Highway Administration prohibited signs with flashing, moving and intermittent lights unless they were on the premises of a business (we’d get rid of those, too, and would hope that tribes and pueblos would not use their freedom from state rules to allow the ugliness to proliferate.) However, a push by outdoor advertising advocates persuaded the federal agency to allow the signs under certain conditions. Now, states are being asked to set the rules along U.S. highways. The needs of drivers to avoid distraction from bright roadside signs, as well as the importance of preserving the dark skies in remote stretches of highway, are more important than the needs of a business or company to hawk its product. Safety studies, so far, seem to indicate the signs don’t cause accidents — but our opposition is more concerned with visual pollution. These signs are ugly and spoil the night. Even with hooding the lights, as could be legal under New Mexico’s pioneering Dark Skies Act, they bring artificial light to stretches of the country that are blessedly dark. For once, we hope New Mexico follows the example of Arizona. There, the Legislature approved a measure to allow the nuisances. The governor vetoed it. A compromise followed, restricting the electronic billboards near observatories. We like the Texas approach, too. It prohibits digital billboards and in scenic areas. That’s most of our state. We sell our night skies to tourists and artists — the world, really. Their preservation is essential to the state’s economic well-being. Commissioners should approve rules designed to safeguard night skies, and say no to artificial lights along the highways.
Comments LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Codes are necessary and should be workable
D
uring deliberations at the Historic Districts Review Board meeting of Jan. 14, we were discussing the application of certain codes to projects in the historic districts. I was correctly quoted as saying that I didn’t care about the code. This eyebrow- raising comment was made in the context of some codes or requirements, city, state or federal, which are not applicable to the historic districts. An example would be the federal Americans with Disability Act, which calls for 5-foot-wide sidewalks. Due to centuries of infill and topographic issues, there are few roads where this can be accomplished. This is recognized by the feds. Or the Defouri Street Bridge, where only one sidewalk on one side of the bridge is acceptable to the ADA. So not caring about code only refers to an element of a code, which is not appropriate in a specific situation or district. Having had four hip replacements, I am pleased with ADA code requirements that do work within historic districts, such as automatic door openers and
handicapped parking. I apologize for any confusion regarding my passion for thoughtful and workable codes. Karen Walker

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 23, 1914: Gerson Gusdorf, one of the leading merchants of Taos, is in the city today on business. Mr. Gusdorf says that the losses during the lambing season were severe and have made business rather quiet in the big and beautiful valley in the north, but that a spirit of hopefulness prevails and the expected railroad, when it comes, will make Taos one of the liveliest towns in the west. Jan. 23, 1964: Priceless records of Spanish and Mexican land grants in New Mexico, including original parchments signed by the King of Spain, will be transferred from the Greer Building to the new Post Office Building under guard. The previous archives are those kept by the federal government since Brig. Gen. Stephen Watts Kearny occupied the New Mexico territory Aug. 18, 1846. Custodian is now the bureau of Land Management’s land office which, with 10 other agencies, starts moving into the new building this weekend.

Lobos get gruff, fired up during conference play By Will Webber

ALBUQUERQUE — When the traveling road show that is The University of New Mexico’s Mountain West Conference schedule throttles back a week from now, the Lobos will enjoy putting the suitcases aside for a bit. Starting with the conference road opener Jan. 8 at Wyoming and ending with their return from a road game next week at Utah State, UNM’s players and coaches will have spent 17 of the first 23 days of the MWC season away from home. It’s all part of a stretch in which the Lobos will have played five of seven games away from home. “It’s a tough dig,” said New Mexico head coach Craig Neal. “I don’t even remember when I was in the NBA if we did any like that. So, it’s just part of the schedule. It’s in front of us, so we play it.” Now 14-4 overall and 5-1 in the MWC following Tues-

Federer sends off Murray; next up, Nadal By John Pye
The Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia — For a full two sets and nine games, Roger Federer was the picture of poise, picking up half-volleys with vintage panache and placing winners past Andy Murray. Then, in the bounce of a ball — or two bounces of the ball, depending on opinion — the 17-time major winner was transformed back into the vulnerable, 2013-edition Federer. After breaking Murray to get a chance to serve for the match on Wednesday and a spot in the Australian Open semifinals for an 11th consecutive year, Federer dropped serve. He recovered and jumped to a 5-2 lead in the tiebreaker, but then Murray rallied and

won six of the last seven points to prolong the quarterfinal. After wasting a handful of break-point Roger chances in Federer Murray’s next service game, which lasted almost 19 minutes, Federer finally wore down the Wimbledon champion 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3 to set up a semifinal showdown with topranked Rafael Nadal. On a day when twotime defending Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka lost 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 to No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska and following other stars out of the tournament, Nadal and Federer won back-to-back
matches on center court to set up their 33rd showdown. Stan Wawrinka ended Novak Djokovic’s bid for a fourth straight Australian Open title with an upset win in the quarterfinals and will face 2010 Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych in the semifinals on Thursday. Neither has won a Grand Slam title, but one is guaranteed to get a chance in Australia. That match will be preceded by the women’s semifinals. Li Na, the 2011 French Open champion and a twotime Australian Open finalist, is the only major winner left the draw. She’ll take on 19-year-old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard. Radwanska will face No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova, who convincingly beat No. 11 Simona Halep.

Sherman: CB most bothered by people labeling him a ‘thug’ Continued from Page B-1 watching teammate Malcolm Smith run over to intercept it to clinch the victory. Sherman’s ensuing remarks were directed mostly at Crabtree but his intense, shouting delivery is what took people aback. Sherman said the reaction that followed over the next two days left him a little stunned as well. “I was surprised by it. Because we’re talking about football here and a lot of people took it a little bit further than football.” Sherman said. “I guess some people showed how far we have really come in this day and age and it was kind of profound what happened and people’s opinions of that nature, because I was on a football field showing passion. Maybe it was misdirected, maybe things may have been immature, maybe things could have been worded better but this is on a football field. I didn’t commit any crimes, I wasn’t doing anything illegal. I was showing passion after a football game.” Sherman apologized for taking away the spotlight from the performances by some of his teammates. Marshawn Lynch’s 109 yards rushing and 40-yard touchdown, Jermaine Kearse’s 35-yard touchdown catch on fourth-down and Bobby Wagner’s 15 tackles all became secondary to Sherman’s words. What seemed to bother Sherman the most in the fallout was hearing the word “thug” attached to his name. “The only reason it bothers me is it seems like it’s an

accepted way of calling someone the N-word nowadays. It’s like everybody else said the N-word and they said thug and they’re like, ‘that’s fine,’ ” Sherman said. “That’s where it kind of takes me aback. It’s kind of disappointing because they know. What is the definition of a thug, really?” Sherman then referenced seeing highlights of the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames playing on Saturday when a fight broke out two seconds into the game. “They didn’t even play hockey. They just threw their sticks aside and started fighting,” he said. “I saw that and said, ‘Oh, man, I’m the thug? What’s going on here. Geez.’ I’m really disappointed in being called a thug.” While there’s been criticism for his rant, he’s also received support. Perhaps most surprising was a tweet from baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. Not a huge user of social media — Aaron had sent seven tweets before Tuesday — his message to
Sherman read, “hang in there & keep playing as well as you did Sunday. Excellent job you have my support.” Sherman was peppered with questions for more than 20 minutes Wednesday. Teammate Russell Wilson was also asked about the fallout. He said it hasn’t been a distraction as the Seahawks begin preparing for Denver. Sherman also didn’t like hearing that some have labeled the team villainous. “Anytime you label Russell Wilson a villain it has to be a joke,” he said. Sherman said he has not reached out to Crabtree. Sherman attempted to shake Crabtree’s hand following the interception only to get shoved in the face. Even after his on-field interview, Sherman continued to deride Crabtree in his postgame media session, calling the receiver “mediocre” and later saying their problems dated to an incident during an offseason event in Arizona.

Streak: Coach calls this a ‘critical game’ Continued from Page B-1 some problems,” Martinez said. “We were able to get some steals and some easy shots and it created that extension.” For the Española players, that run did more than just give them a lead. It also gave them a little confidence after not knowing victory in almost a month. “We decided to turn it on,” Garduño said. “We’re kind of in a slump, so it felt good to open up and score some points.” The Sundevils kept the Demons at bay in the second quarter as well and had a 35-18 lead at halftime. After starting so well, the Demons bore witness to a first half marred by turnovers and missed shots. Santa Fe High head coach David Rodriguez simply wanted his team to regain its focus in the second half after being hit hard.
“When you get hit like that, you have to maintain a belief in what you’re doing and maintain focus,” Rodriguez said. “You’re going to make mistakes, but you can’t compound them with getting down, and I thought that’s what we did.” Santa Fe High didn’t do much in the third quarter to cut the Española lead, as the Sundevils had a 41-28 advantage heading into the final quarter. In the fourth quarter, however, the Demons made things interesting. Julio Rivera opened the final frame with two back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the deficit to 41-34 with just over 7 minutes to play. Rivera then made his fourth 3-pointer of the quarter with :46 left to pull the Demons within 58-53. With 23 seconds left, Izaiah Ortega hit a 3-pointer to cut the Sundevil lead to 60-57. On Española’s next possession, Garduño
was fouled and hit both of his free throws. “It’s my job to hit the free throws, and I hit them, and I felt good about that,” Garduño said. “[Santa Fe High] has tough players and they’re tough competitors. They made a big run, but luckily there at the end, we were able to close it.” After a failed Santa Fe High possession on the other end, Garduño made a layup just before the buzzer sounded to put the icing on the cake. That cake, of course, is Española’s first win in seven games as well as a district win. “I would rather win this one than win the last seven,” Martinez said. “This was a critical game, so we’re very fortunate that we won. The guys really wanted it, and I commend them for that.”

Saturday
Lobos: UNM makes use of deep bench Continued from Page B-1 day’s 84-75 win over Boise State in The Pit, the Lobos appear to have done more than weather the first part of their road show. Unbeaten in three MWC games on the road, they have somehow found their gruff exterior, too. Neal criticized his team after a home loss to UNLV, saying it had lost its competitive edge and killer instinct. He offered a point of clarification to those observations after the Boise game. “Well, maybe I shouldn’t say that they lost it,” Neal said. “I just think that they didn’t come out with a excitement and really, really pushing and really playing from the start of the game. I thought it took us a while to get going in the start of our games and I talked to ‘em about it.” Senior guard Kendall Williams took matters into his own hands with regard to the slow start. He scored UNM’s first five points in Tuesday’s game,
hoisting five shots in the first 1 minute, 55 seconds. He went on to score 18 points and register nine assists and three steals. The win was punctuated by Hugh Greenwood’s unexpected offensive explosion. He scored a season-high 20 points, hitting five 3-pointers and going 7 of 9 from the floor. Neal said another key was settling into a substitution pattern that allowed him to go nine deep, with seven of those players logging at least 15 minutes. “I thought our guys in the last two games have come out with that fire and competitive nature that they’ve always had here,” Neal said, adding that the team’s bench has adjusted well to its supporting role to the starting five. “We’re just trying to go forward,” Neal said. “We’re just trying to continue to get better as a team. I think I’ve seen signs of it; I think everybody has.”
Interesting outfit Neal broke out the cherry blazer for Boise State, a move that usually signifies a big game. Thing is, it wasn’t his idea. “I didn’t want to get beat at home again,” Neal said. “I think my wife just brought it to me and said, ‘Wear this.’ ” He completed the ensemble by wearing black pants with a charcoal gray plaid design. “I didn’t know if I could pull the plaid off,” he said. “I knew my boss [UNM athletics director Paul Krebs] would laugh about the plaid.” The Lobos wore their silver uniforms for the third time this season, making them 2-1 in silver and 2-0 when Neal wears the cherry blazer. They are 5-2 in white uniforms, 5-1 in red and 1-0 in both camouflage and turquoise.
Broken glass Boise State outrebounded the Lobos 41-28, more than
doubling an opponent’s previous margin this season (Kansas 36-30). Broncos center Ryan Watkins grabbed 22 rebounds by himself while no Lobo had more than nine. It’s a big reason Boise State had a 17-7 edge in secondchance points — which certainly would have been bigger had the Broncos not shot so poorly during a first half in which they missed 11 of their first 12 tries from 3-point range. The Lobos have been outrebounded six times this season. They are 4-2 in those games. “To play us you have to play big-big because you have to guard us,” Neal said.
New time Saturday’s game at Colorado State has been changed from 9:05 p.m. to 2 p.m. The game will not, as previously thought, be televised nationally on ESPNU. The game is only available on the web on ESPN3.

Safety, fun on slopes of Ski Santa Fe
Memories of Bolanders, Sipapu live on A pproaching the midseason mark, it’s time to take stock of the scene to date and to note the passing of New Mexico ski pioneer Lloyd Bolander. After a tremendous start to the season, with 40-inch bases, we’ve hardly seen a flake of snow since midDecember in northern New Mexico. Thankfully, southern Colorado has fared better. And, typically, February sees the region’s greatest snowfall, followed by March, so things probably will improve dramatically. Bolander, the founder of Sipapu, grew up in Peñasco and began skiing at the age of 3 in the pine forests of U.S. Hill near Taos, on skis bought at Montgomery Ward. In 1950, Lloyd and his new bride, Olive, bought 13 acres of property on the Rio Pueblo between Daniel Vadito and Tres Ritos in the Sangre Gibson de Cristo Mountains hoping to creSnow Trax ate a sustainable life doing something they loved. Two years later, Lloyd set up a 100-foot-long portable rope tow, charged 50 cents per lift ticket and opened Sipapu as a winter and summer resort. I have vague memories of spending a few nights there when I was 4 or 5. I recall huge masses of snow and dim, gray light. I remember the warmth of a wood-fire stove and stone fireplace; of getting wet and being painfully cold but eager to get back outdoors — into the white world. I didn’t ski, but we sledded and built snow forts and crawled around. I recall the owners were wonderfully cordial. There was plenty of laughter among the adults as well as a promise as we left that we would be back the following year. That didn’t happen, but it stands as my first ski trip and my memory of the Bolanders. Over the years, with the support of Olive, his daughter, Sue, and his son, Bruce, the Bolander family added and replaced lifts, put in new trails, hand-built all of the resort’s slopeside lodging, and opened a rental shop, restaurant, and store. Bolander retired in 1984 but continued to run ski lessons and keep an eye on things for many more years. In 2004, he was inducted into the New Mexico Ski Hall of Fame. He passed away Jan. 20 at his home in Vadito, just miles from the resort he founded. He was 86 years old.

O
n a typical visit to Ski Santa Fe, you can cruise around the mountain all day enjoying the sunshine and the thrill of a well-carved turn with the company of friends and family. But the day ends for some with a visit to the Santa Fe Ski Patrol’s medical center, an ambulance ride or even a helicopter evacuation. The patrol center oversees the darker side of the sport — the accidents and carnage — as well as the fine-tuned work of a caring band of medical professionals and caregivers. uuu
Jan. 18 began quietly at the ski area. Before 11:30 a.m., there were no accidents. But then a flurry of mishaps occurred and the eightbed facility was almost full. By the end of the day, 18 incidents were reported, which included hip injuries, wrist fractures, knee sprains, a lower-arm fracture, a lower-leg fracture, a concussion, exercise-induced asthma and a cardiac patient who was whisked to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center by chopper. For the Santa Fe Ski Patrol, it was just another day’s work.
“There is so much to it that the public never sees,” notes Patrol Director Cody Sheppard. “People think we just come up and ski around all day and occasionally help someone out. There’s far more to it than that.” On mornings after overnight snowfall, patrollers arrive at 6 a.m. and are on the mountain before sunrise to raise rope lines, reposition chairlift pads and perform other laborious tasks. On nonsnow days, the team arrives at 7:30 a.m. After booting up, members load on the quad chair and gather the patrol house at its summit, called “Top Watch.” Some are assigned to “ski a run,” or evaluate a run’s condition on the lower mountain while others take the triple chair up to the top, which is called “Peak Watch,” where they also are assigned a run. During the runs, patrollers set up signs or ropes that were moved at the end of the previous day for the nighttime grooming crews. Once this is done, the head patroller informs the lift operators to begin public operation. The days usually start calmly, but things tend to get busy after lunch, when more accidents seem to occur, in part because of alcohol consumption. Some patrollers con-

stantly move about the mountain with no set schedule or run assignments, and they might happen across an accident. Others waiting at Peak Watch or Top Watch receive calls about accidents by phone or two-way radios. Depending on the severity of the accident and the availability of staff, one or more patrollers respond to an incident. The minimum response is to place patients into toboggans stashed around the mountain and at patrol stations, and transport them to the base medical facility for further evaluation and treatment. If conditions require, immediate treatment begins, such as supplying splints, immobilizing the patient on a backboard and even heart resuscitation or other advanced medical procedures. At least one fully certified paramedic is on the mountain at all times, with as many as five during peak periods. Response time is typically less than five minutes. “We are essentially providing the same level of care one would receive in town if you call 911,” Sheppard says. “It’s great to be able to take care of people when they are hurt, but it’s better to prevent those acci-
Now some brief notes from around the region. Angel Fire, with a 20-inch base and 74 percent of its runs open, is gearing up for its annual, wacky World Championship Shovel Races on Feb. 8, and its first annual Winter Carnival on Feb. 7-9. Competitors sit on the scoop of a standard aluminum snow shovel, handle pointed downhill, then allow gravity to take them for a ride. Top speeds regularly exceed 60 miles per hour. Children as young as 6 are invited to participate in the “Little Scoop” race category. Cash and prizes will be given to the fastest competitors in all age-specific categories. The weekend events will include a practice course and food and drink specials. The carnival will include snow art competitions, a showing of Warren Miller’s film Ticket to Ride, live music and a Dummy (gelande) Launch event. Ski Santa Fe has a 34-inch base. The groomers are skiing great and if you scan ahead carefully, almost the entire mountain is skiable. On Saturday, it plays host to the second of its “Beats on the Basin” live music shows, with Radio la Chusma, on the deck at Totemoff’s from noon to 3 p.m. Taos is holding on to a cement-hard 36-inch base, with most runs open, including its hike-to-ridge routes. Crested Butte is having one of its better seasons in quite a few years. It has a 48-inch base and has received 131 inches this season so far. Only a handful of runs remain off limits, including Banana, The Funnel, Rambo and The Peak. All their terrain parks are open.

FOR THE BIRDS
Acorn woodpecker goes nuts for family and … acorns By Anne Schmauss
For The New Mexican
M
ost of us aren’t lucky enough to see acorn woodpeckers, but if you live among oak and conifer forests high enough in the mountains, you might see them. We often hear reports from Los Alamos that an acorn woodpecker has been spotted. You can be certain that others are nearby. The acorn woodpecker is unusual for several reasons. They live in family groups of a dozen or so. Young acorn woodpeckers stay with their parents for several years. These extended families stick close to home, helping each other raise the young. Family groups
typically live their entire lives very close to where they are born. Not only do acorn woodpeckers help each other raise their families, but they are the best food hoarders in the bird world. Each group hoards thousands of acorns every fall by jamming them into holes they have created in trees or telephone poles. Sometimes every square inch of a tree can be covered with these stashed acorns. They push the acorns into tight holes so they don’t fall out. The acorn stash is meant to sustain the group throughout the winter. One group of acorn woodpeckers has been observed hoarding an estimated 50,000 acorns. Acorn woodpeckers aggressively defend their hoard of acorns by chas-
ing away jays and squirrels, and from competing acorn woodpeckers from other groups. Since acorn woodpeckers are never really on their own, they always work as a group. This kind of defense is just part of their complicated social lives. Although acorn woodpeckers love acorns, they also eat insects, often catching them on the fly. They also will come to suet feeders. Suet feeders also might attract bushtits, nuthatches and other types of woodpeckers. It’s nice to see birds like the acorn woodpecker in your backyard, but seeing any bird is helpful if you participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count. A joint project of the National
Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the GBBC is an annual four-day event where thousands of backyard birders report birds they see. This year the count takes place February 14-17, and participating can take as little as 15 minutes. A GBBC workshop is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday at REI. Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe, and she loves to hear your bird stories.

B-5
GRINDSTONE RESERVOIR: On Jan. 14, Richard Herndon and net man James Harvey in a joint effort landed a 20-inch, 3-pound, 3-ounce rainbow trout on light tackle. Herndon was using garlic Power Bait. NOTE: If you have a catch of the week story or want to share your latest New Mexico fishing experience, send it to fishforfun2@hotmail.com. For catches of the week, include name, date and location, as well as type of fish, length and weight, bait, lure or fly used.
Northeast CONCHAS LAKE: The shallow and steep boat ramps on the north side of the lake are now open along with the Cove campground ramp. Fishing pressure was very light and fishing was slow for all species. EAGLE NEST LAKE: Fishing was fair to good using wax worms, meal worms and earth worms for perch. Fishing was fair using corn salmon egg combinations, worms and jigs for trout up to 19-inches. We had no reports on northern pike. For updated ice conditions, call the Department of Game and Fish at 888-248-6866 or the State Park office at 575-377-1594. LAKE MALOYA: As of Monday, the ice thickness was 9 inches. Trout fishing was fair to good using ice jigs, salmon peach Power Bait and corn. Anglers using corn also caught a few perch. For updated ice conditions, call the State Park office at 575-445-5607. PECOS RIVER: The Mora and Jamie Koch fishing and recreation areas have reopened. The Bert Clancy and Terrero campgrounds remain closed. Trout fishing downstream from the town of Pecos was fair to good using salmon eggs and small bead-head nymphs. We had no reports on the upper river. STORRIE LAKE: Mid-day bank fishing was fair for anglers fishing for trout. They were using salmon eggs and Power Bait. The lake has a thin layer of ice from late evening through the early morning hours. For updated ice conditions, call the State Park office at 425-7278.
UTE LAKE: Fishing pressure was light this past week but there were a few anglers on the water who found the walleye. They were fishing in 20 to 25 feet of water and were using blade baits and grubs. Anglers using the blade baits also reported picking up a few smallmouth bass. Fishing for all other species was slow.
Northwest ALBUQUERQUE AREA DRAINS: Fishing was very good using worms, salmon eggs, wax worms, bead-head pheasant tails, parachute adams and San Juan worms for trout. We received good reports from anglers fishing the Albuquerque, Albuquerque South, Belen and Bernalillo drains. Anglers fishing the Albuquerque Drain reported catching several largemouth bass. They were using chigger craws and chigger chunks. JEMEZ WATERS: Trout fishing on the lower Jemez was very good using salmon eggs. Anglers reported catching numerous trout in the 10- to 14-inch range. SAN JUAN: Fishing through the Quality Waters was good using black and white streamers, princess nymphs, red larva, orange egg patterns, orange sparkle worms and San Juan worms. TINGLEY BEACH: Trout fishing at the Youth and Central Ponds was very good again this past week. Anglers did well using Pistol Petes, olive wooly buggers, salmon peach and garlic Power Bait, homemade dough bait, salmon eggs and Gulp eggs. Fishing at the Catch and Release Pond was fair using wooly buggers, egg patterns and bunny leeches.
This fishing report, provided by Bill Dunn and the Department of Game and Fish, has been generated from the best information available from area officers, anglers, guides and local businesses. Conditions may vary as stream, lake and weather conditions alter fish and angler activities.
Sierra Club hikes All Sierra Club Rio Grande chapter outings are free and open to the public. Always call leader to confirm participation and details. Please see nmsierraclub.org/ outings for the most updated information. SATURDAY, JAN 25: Intermediate level cross-country ski outing, joint trip with the New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club. The destination is dependent on snow conditions so will be determined when the date is close. These will generally be
full day trips because of the driving times. We will be on the snow up to five hours and ski up to eight miles. Send email to Alan Shapiro nm5s@yahoo.com. SUNDAY, JAN 26: Easy tour of Petroglyph Hill in the Galisteo Basin Preserve, with guest historian Bill Baxter, who will provide lively commentary on the area’s earliest inhabitants. Not much more than a mile of walking, round trip, but ground uneven and rocky. Call Norma McCallan at 471-0005.
Memories: Colorado ski areas get snow Continued from Page B-4
Telluride also picked up new snow last week when New Mexico didn’t and has a nice 48-inch base. Wolf Creek has a 59-inch base and holds women’s skiing and boarding clinics Saturday. Durango has a 36-inch base and is 100 percent open. Monarch reports a 49-inch base and 132 inches of snow this season to date. Silverton also received some new fluff and has a 67-inch base.
It is open for guided skiing only until April 4. Sandia Peak has reduced terrain to just its beginner slopes and will be open Saturdays, Sundays and holidays only. Ski Apache has a meager 11-inch base and only a handful of beginner runs open. Pajarito has an 18-inch base and is closed, awaiting more snow. Red River has a 24-inch base with 52 of 58 runs open.

Patrol: Important function is to stop, educate speeding skiers Continued from Page B-4 dents if you can. So, skier education, signage and keeping boundary ropes in place are very important aspects of what we do. Stay in control, and be able to avoid people and objects below you. If people really obeyed that, we’d probably be out of a job.” In addition to the 12 to 15 patrollers, the daily crew also includes four snow safety members. They do not have EMT training and, while they assist the patrol on tasks like handling the sleds, their main role is to monitor high traffic areas for speeding skiers and to educate them on safety. “Most people respond well to warnings,” Sheppard says, “but if they don’t, or if the offense is really egregious, we can remove their lift ticket. We require that they view a film on skier safety and take a 10-question quiz. After that, they get their ticket back.” Their names are kept on a list for three years, and if they are repeat offenders, they might lose their ticket for the day or longer. Despite the patrol’s skill level and efforts, Sheppard says about a halfdozen people have died at Ski Santa Fe in the past 25 years or so. Sliding off
intermediate-level groomed runs and hitting a tree — or a “tree strike”— is the most common cause of death. Jack Dant, the assistant patrol director, is in his 12th year. He notes one major task many larger Western ski areas face — although not so much at Ski Santa Fe — is avalanche control. “We do have areas that will slide but they are not very large and we do have abatement through foot packing and ski cutting — what is called mitigation rather than control,” Dant said. “But we are in a high alpine environment and people need to realize that there is an element of risk we can’t entirely eliminate.” What does he find most challenging about his role? “It’s really a long day — typically 13 hours,” Dant adds. “We normally work four days, then take three off. And seeing blood and broken bodies is something that really sticks with you. But we have effective ways of working through this. We are taught that we are here doing the best we can in any given situation, and that it is their emergency, not yours. We’ve saved lives, and when someone is seriously injured, it helps to remember this.” August Young, who is in his second
year with the patrol and grew up in Santa Fe, is learning how to deal with the trauma he sees. “One of the more difficult parts can be processing and dealing with what you’ve seen, bringing those images home with you,” Young said. “But you try and balance that with the knowledge that it was something they chose to do, that there are risks involved, and that so many people are getting such enjoyment out of it.” Sheppard, head patroller since 1982, did not get into patrolling as a career choice. He started working at the Santa Fe Ski rental shop before working on the lifts, and then he learned to ski. “I thought patrolling would be something I’d do for a couple of years,” Sheppard said. “But I fell in love with the mountain, with skiing and emergency medicine.” It also led him to his wife, Lehigh Sheppard, who applied for the ski patrol. “Back then, it was kind of a men’s club,” he said. “There were no women on the patrol and a certain reluctance to have women on the patrol, which was a common attitude then at ski areas. The director at the time
assigned me to see if she skied well enough, so I took her down ‘Tequila’ and she out-skied me, so we figured her skiing ability was not an issue.” Lehigh was the patrol’s assistant director for many years, and ran the patrol on her husband’s off days. She is reducing her role, and Cody Sheppard says he expects they will retire in several years. Perhaps stepping into her shoes will be Meghan Smith. In her first year as a Ski Santa Fe patroller, she worked previously as a medical ranger in preventive search and rescue operations for three years in the Grand Canyon. She is a paramedic. She grew up in Western New York, where she taught skiing for seven years and began patrol work, then spent several seasons patrolling at Grand Targhee, Wyo., and at Alyeska, Alaska. “I wanted to get back to the mountains,” she explains. “I’d love to make it a career. I love the unification of skiing and medicine. I love the challenge of taking someone facing a significant injury and turning it around and make it a good experience — to have them feel they are safe and supported.
I want beginning skiers to want to come back and try the sport again. For advanced skiers, perhaps they are faced with knee surgery and can’t see their lives without skiing, or they are in denial about what they are facing.” The day is winding down, the sun sinks over the Jemez Mountains. In the crowded, snug, Peak Watch log cabin, patrollers are brewing tea and coffee over the wood stove as they pass along tales of the day. Sheppard calmly assigns runs to each member for “sweep,” the final pass down the runs and through the woods to make sure no one injured is left on the mountain. Then comes the sweep of the lower mountain and finally a long debriefing session of the day’s 18 injuries. It will be dark when the patrollers turn their vehicles homeward. So, next time you are on the mountain and you spot a patroller, perhaps thank them for a job well done — one done so well, few skiers are aware of the skills, courage and dedication of this hardy band of brothers and sisters of the snow.

I have a 1979 Jeep CJ-7 with a 5-liter V-8 engine. The ignition switch is the type commonly used in vehicles of this vintage, and it’s located on the steering column. It has an “accessory-only” position; an ignition-on, “run” position; and a spring-loaded, “crank” position, which activates the
starter motor as long as you hold the key there. When I go to start the engine, I turn the ignition switch to the “crank” position, and the starter motor cranks normally. But the engine will not start until after I release the key and it springs back to the ignitionon, “run” position. I wired a remote starter switch directly into the starter solenoid and tried starting the car with that. And as long as the ignition switch was in the “run” position, I could make the starter motor crank and the engine fire up normally while the starter motor was still turning. Any ideas? -Michael RAY: We were just trying to remember the last time we saw a ‘79 CJ-7 in the shop, Michael. TOM: We couldn’t remember, so we also took a moment to thank the automotive deities for that small blessing. RAY: The first thing I’d suspect and test would be

OLD CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH ITS GET-UP-AND-GO BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI
Dear Tom and Ray:
to place your ad, call
a bad ignition switch in the steering column. TOM: What you want to do is test that “crank” position. When the key is in the crank position, both the starter motor and the coil are supposed to get power. RAY: The starter motor, obviously, gets power to crank the engine and get it turning. And the coil gets power to fire the spark plugs, so that once the engine starts turning, it will “catch” and keep running on its own. You’re obviously getting juice to the starter motor in the “crank” position, but maybe not to the coil. TOM: You can find out with a test light. You obviously have some basic skills, since you hooked up a remote starter without setting your car on fire ... yet. So hook up the light between the negative terminal of the battery and the positive (ignition) side of the coil. Then turn the key to “crank.” My guess is that nothing will light up. 4X4s
986-3000
RAY: That suggests that the
ignition switch is bad. So your next step would be to try a new switch. But, as you know and undoubtedly toss and turn at night thinking about, changing the ignition switch in the CJ-7 is a pain the rear di≠erential. TOM: So try a new switch without installing it first. You should be able to reach under the steering column, unplug the wires that go into the existing switch and then plug those wires into your new switch, which you’ll leave dangling from the wires for now. RAY: Then use a screwdriver to turn the new switch and see what happens. If it works, you can then remove the steering wheel and all that, and install the new switch permanently. TOM: Or just leave it dangling. I think that’s a nice touch on a ‘79 CJ. Good luck, Michael.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014: This year you go from being idealistic to being intensely practical. Scorpio is demanding, and often that quality pushes you away. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH A meeting might take place in the morning. By the afternoon, you will seek out individuals rather than groups. Tonight: Avoid sending mixed messages.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Tap into your imagination in the morning, when an idea is more likely to serve you. Late afternoon presents a different outlook and a far more demanding schedule. Tonight: Clear out as fast as you can. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your temper could rise to the surface in the morning, yet by the afternoon, you might forget what had upset you. Tonight: All smiles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Return calls, make time for a meeting and handle as much as you can in the morning. By the afternoon, you will want to become less available. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Be aware of what someone else expects, because you don’t want to disappoint this person. In some form, you could send mixed signals. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies.

Family degrades her late husband Dear Annie: I was married for 30 years to a man I loved deeply. I know perfectly well he is not perfect (who is?) and saw him struggle to control his temper and sharp tongue. He had a schizophrenic father and an alcoholic mother. They divorced when he was about 10, and he bounced from foster home to foster home. He slept in alleys and ate from garbage cans. He was deeply loving, fiercely protective and faithful. He had compassion for the downtrodden and often gave away food, clothing and money to the less fortunate. I loved his heart of “pure mush,” as he put it. Unfortunately, my family only saw his quick temper and said he was only using me for my money. He always worked, just at lower-paying jobs, and we learned to live with less so we could give more away. They never saw the generous things he did. When he died, I notified both families and received no condolences. His family has never acknowledged his passing. My family members seem intent on degrading him in front of our mutual friends and me. These are people who claim they care about me. Why won’t they let the man rest in peace and leave me with my loving memories, instead of trying to justify their apparent hostility? He’s dead now and can’t aggravate them anymore. How can I get them to stop? — Still Loving My One and Only Dear Still: You have to tell them and make it stick. If your relatives begin denigrating your late husband, respond with: “Please stop saying terrible things about someone I loved.” Don’t lose your temper or cry. Simply make your statement, and if they continue to say unkind things, get up and leave. Eventually, they will stop, but at least you won’t

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could feel off in the morning and wonder why you are proceeding the way you are. Stop. Think things through, and take your time. Tonight: At home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Dealings with others are highlighted. You need a better sense of direction and an idea of what you want. If you are straightforward, others are likely to respond in kind. Tonight: Do your vanishing act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Several associates will seek you out for advice. Right now, you need to take a strong stance. Don’t allow anyone to distract you. Tonight: Start the weekend early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be making an important decision before you know it. Your take-charge attitude will pay off quickly. Tonight: Loosen up, and enjoy what is happening with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A direct conversation establishes a connection, but not necessarily an agreement. You could be in for a fast change if you are not careful. Tonight: Only where there is music. Jacqueline Bigar

have to listen to their comments in the meantime. Our condolences on your loss. Dear Annie: My daughter has never let me meet my grandson. He was born in May, and the last time I saw my daughter was in March when I hosted a baby shower. She and her boyfriend don’t believe in God. I asked them whether they would bless the child, but they became angry. She is really breaking my heart. I can’t believe she is so evil. What can I do to resolve this? Dear Grandma: People who are deeply religious often do not understand how offensive their religious demands are to people who do not share their beliefs. By asking your daughter to bless the child, you were showing disrespect for her and her boyfriend. We know you strongly disagree with their approach to raising their child, but it is not your decision to make. If you ever hope to have a relationship with your grandchild, you will need to demonstrate to your daughter that you can be trusted not to undermine her parental authority. Dear Annie: Thank you for your poignant answer to “In Love With Another Man,” the foolish married woman who has reconnected with an old flame. I, too, had an overly close relationship with a man despite a perfectly good marriage. Circumstances in my life made me emotionally fragile, and “the other man” set off sparks that had only vaguely smoldered in the marital day-to-day. Long conversations with a counselor made me realize that “the other man” had all sorts of traits that would be repugnant to me if it weren’t for the the romance of the fling, and I eventually found my way back to the man I married. I pray “In Love” follows your excellent advice and does the same. — Never More in Love
