Review board to weigh final changes to Valdes House Site to offer housing for those with memory loss By Paul Weideman The New Mexican

The Valdes House, located along East De Vargas Street in the Barrio de Analco Historic District, which once boasted an inviting patio with shade trees and a white picket fence, is soon to reopen as a modern facility for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The Garden, part of El Castillo, a nonprofit continuing care retirement community at 250 E. Alameda St., will provide 11 studio apartments for residents with memory loss. The final hearing before the Historic Districts Review Board is at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall. El Castillo is seeking approval for rooftop appurtenances, a large metal “hotbox” containing a water backflowpreventer and a double-wide Dumpster on the east side of the property.

Mayor Javier Gonzales with daughters Cadence, 9, and Cameron, 15, waves at the crowd at the Greer Garson Theatre during his inauguration Monday night. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

anta Fe’s new mayor and the four city councilors who won election last week took the oath of office before a large and sometimes lively crowd Monday night at the Greer Garson Theatre. The hourlong event, which included a send-off to outgoing Mayor David Coss and Councilors Chris Calvert and Rebecca Wurzburger, was marked with tears, expressions of gratitude and repeated references to a bright future for a city that is four centuries old. “I come before you today not just as your new mayor but as a part of the community of Santa Fe. I’m here as one link in a 400-year chain of people with a frontier spirit devoted to building something special,” Gonzales told the audience during a nearly nine-minute speech after he was sworn in. Coss, who served two four-year terms as mayor, said it was an honor and a privilege to watch Gonzales take the oath of office. “Tonight, Mayor-elect Gonzales, we start the

next phase of our journey as a town and as a community,” said Coss, who had endorsed Gonzales for mayor over City Councilors Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas, who both showed up to the event shortly after it started. Coss noted that Gonzales, 47, was stepping into the job at a younger age than most recent mayors. Gonzales, who took a “selfie” with a cellphone camera with his back to the audience toward the end of the event, was accompanied on stage by his daughters, Cameron, 15, and Cadence, 9. “He’s going to be a mayor that can bring the youth of Santa Fe to be even more active in our civic affairs,” Coss said during the event, for which Gonzales’ cousin, former television news anchor Carla Aragon served as master of ceremonies. Signe Lindell, who was elected to represent City Council District 1, said she has “big shoes to fill” because the north-side district “has been represented so well” by Calvert, who did not seek reelection, and Bushee, who has been a councilor for 20 years and still has two years left on her term.

Attorney General Gary King is committed to staying in the race for governor despite his last-place finish at a Democratic pre-primary nominating convention, his campaign manager said Monday. King has more than enough nominating petition signatures to secure a place on the ballot for the June primary election, said Jim Farrell, his campaign manager. “Gary King enjoys the strong support of Democrats at the grassroots across New Mexico, but who do not count among the convention insiders,” Farrell said in a statement. “Our 10,000 plus nominating signatures for Gary demonstrates it. Our focus has been, and remains winning the nomination on June 3rd when the rank and file Democrats of our state will decide who has the right stuff to defeat Susana Martinez.” Republican Gov. Susana Martinez is running unopposed in the GOP primary. King has the best name recognition among the Democrats seeking the party’s gubernatorial nomination. He’s a two-term statewide elected official, a former state legislator and the son of the late Bruce King, the state’s longest-serving governor. But at Saturday’s convention, King finished last in the field of five gubernatorial candidates, with about 10.5 percent of delegate votes. Candidates needed 20 percent support to automatically earn a place on the ballot, but they can remain in the race if they have enough nominating petition signatures. Farrell said King’s campaign submitted nearly 10,400 signatures to the secretary of state when filing for office in February. That’s more than twice as many as needed. Candidates who don’t earn the party’s endorsement at the convention must have a total of 4,373 petition signatures from registered Democrats. Two-term Sen. Howie Morales of Silver City finished first at the convention, with 29 percent. Political newcomer and Santa Fe businessman

Tatars fear return of Russian rule SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine — The arrival of Russian troops in Crimea has opened old wounds among the Crimean Tatars, who were deported during World War II. Fearing that once again they will be unwelcome in their homeland, some are organizing community-watch patrols to protect their families and homes. Tensions have grown with preparations to hold a referendum on Sunday on whether Crimea should stay in Ukraine or join Russia. “It turned out that there’s a sudden sense of danger,” said Dilyaver

major themes of the technology portion of the SXSW conference. During the weekend, Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, also gave a talk via videoconference. In a discussion Friday, Eric Schmidt, chairman of Google, talked about the idea of data permanence as the hallmark of the digital era. There is no erase button, he said, and we all need to think critically about the footprint we are creating for ourselves. He also floated the notion that online privacy itself may soon become a luxury item that people will pay for. Conference attendees cheered as Snowden spoke, but the event drew some criticism. Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., wrote a letter to SXSW organizers calling for them to cancel the event. In their description of the event, SXSW organizers said “SXSW agrees that a healthy debate with regards to the limits of surveillance is vital to the future of the online ecosystem.”

N.Y. terror trial sees London testimony NEW YORK — Jurors at the terrorism trial of Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law watched him threaten there would be no end to the “storm of airplanes” on videotapes made in the days after the Sept. 11 attacks Monday just before a British man testified by video from London that he trained to blow up a plane in late 2001 with a shoe bomb. Prosecutors showed the New York

jury video clips of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, threatening Americans in the weeks after the terror attacks to set the stage for testimony from Saajid Badat, a 34-year-old United Kingdom resident who refuses to testify in the United States because he faces terrorism charges in Boston that could send him to prison for life. Badat said he trained with failed shoe-bomber Richard Reid to carry out separate shoe-bomb attacks aimed at downing planes over America or in Europe in the months after the Sept. 11 attacks were carried out with four hijacked airplanes. Prosecutors are using Badat’s testimony to show that Abu Ghaith, as alQaida’s spokesman, was in the thick of a conspiracy to create a second wave of airborne terrorism attacks while the debris left by the toppled twin towers of the World Trade Center was still burning.

Elephants have great ears, study indicates

World stocks tumble on weak China, Japan data MANILA, Philippines — Asian stock markets sank Monday, battered by weak Chinese trade and a reduced estimate for Japan’s economic growth. European markets were mostly higher. Shares in Malaysia Airlines tumbled on news of the weekend disappearance of one of its jets en route to Beijing. Japan’s Nikkei 225 closed down 1 percent at 15,120.14 and China’s Shanghai Composite plunged 2.9 percent to 1,999.06. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 1.8 percent to 22,264.93. Markets were also down in Australia, Taiwan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. Data released on the weekend showed China’s exports fell by an unexpectedly large 18 percent in February. Meanwhile, Japan reported Monday a record current account deficit for January, and lowered its economic growth estimate for the October-December quarter to 0.7 percent from 1 percent. Andrew Sullivan of Kim Eng Securities in Hong Kong said sentiment was affected by the weak data from China and from Japan.

WASHINGTON — Wild elephants can distinguish between human languages, and they can tell whether a voice comes from a man, woman or boy, a new study says. That’s what researchers found when they played recordings of people for elephants in Kenya. The result shows that while humans are studying elephants, the clever animals also are studying people and drawing on their famed powers of memory, said study author Karen McComb. “Basically they have developed this very rich knowledge of the humans that they share their habitat with,” said McComb, a professor of animal behavior and cognition at the University of Sussex in England. The study was released Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. McComb and colleagues went to Amboseli National Park in Kenya, where hundreds of wild elephants live among humans. The scientists used voice recordings of Maasai men, who on occasion kill elephants, and Kamba men, who are less of a threat to the elephants. The recordings contained the same phrase in two different languages: “Look over there. A group of elephants is coming.” By about a two-to-one margin, the elephants reacted defensively to the Maasai language recording, said study co-author Graeme Shannon of Colorado State University. McComb and Shannon also altered female and male voices, making female voices sound male, and males sound female. Those kinds of changes fool most humans, but the elephants weren’t tricked, McComb said. They still moved away from the altered male voices and not the altered female voices.

Facebook used in search for birth mom In 1986, a newborn wrapped in a red sweater was found abandoned in the bathroom of a fast-food restaurant. Nearly three decades later, the baby is all grown up and looking for her biological mother. Katheryn Deprill began her quest on March 2 by posting a photo on her Facebook page in which she held up a sign that said, “Looking for my birth mother. She abandoned me in the Burger King bathroom only hours old, Allentown PA. Please help me find her by sharing my post.” A week later, it’s been shared nearly 27,000 times. There’s still no sign of the woman who left the baby in a bathroom. The Associated Press

Senate OKs bill to curb military sex assault By Donna Cassata The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill late Monday making big changes in the military justice system to deal with sexual assault, including scrapping the nearly century-old practice of using a “good soldier defense” to raise doubts that a crime has been committed. On a vote of 97-0, the Senate rallied behind a bipartisan plan crafted by three female senators — Democrat Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Republicans Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Deb Fischer of Nebraska — that would impose a half-dozen changes to combat the pervasive problem of rape and sexual offenses that Pentagon leaders have likened to a cancer within the ranks. “Unanimous agreement in the U.S. Senate is pretty rare — but rarer still is the kind of sweeping, historic change we’ve

achieved over the past year in the military justice system,” McCaskill said after the vote. Still, that unanimous support was in sharp contrast to last week, when military leaders vigorously opposed a measure by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., that would have stripped commanders of their authority to prosecute cases and given that power to seasoned military lawyers outside the chain of command. The Senate voted 55-45 for that farther-reaching bill, but 60 was necessary. Though expressing certain reservations, the Pentagon had been generally accepting of the new bill. The House could act on the legislation as a stand-alone measure or incorporate it into the massive defense policy bill that it pulls together in the spring. This “is not the end of this,” Ayotte said in brief remarks on the Senate floor after the vote. “We will make sure reforms that have been passed are imple-

mented, that commanders are held accountable for a climate within their unit of zero tolerance and that victims of sexual assault are treated with dignity and respect.” The new legislation would change the military rules of evidence to prohibit the accused from using good military character as an element of his defense in court-martial proceedings unless it was directly relevant to the alleged crime. The “good soldier defense” could encompass a defendant’s military record of reliability, dependability, professionalism and reputation as an individual who could be counted on in war and peacetime. McCaskill described it as “the ridiculous notion that how well

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The military judge overseeing the court-martial of Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, accused of sexually assaulting a 34-yearold captain formerly under his command, ruled Monday that Army officials may have been improperly influenced when they rejected Sinclair’s offer to plead guilty to some charges before the trial. The judge, Col. James L. Pohl, said from the bench that he was “not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt” that the prosecutors and their commanders at Fort Bragg, N.C., where Sinclair is based and is being tried, acted completely independent of external politics and possible pressure from senior Pentagon officials when they decided to turn down Sinclair’s offer, made last year. Pohl said he would give Sinclair the opportunity, until Tuesday morning, to file a new plea offer. If the general makes a new offer, the judge said a senior Army officer not currently involved in the case would decide whether to accept it. But if Sinclair decides not to file a new plea, the trial will proceed on Tuesday, the judge said. In ruling that “unlawful command influence” had occurred, Pohl found in particular that a letter by Capt. Cassie Fowler, a lawyer representing the accuser, may have affected the thinking of Lt. Gen. Joseph Anderson, the commanding general of Fort Bragg’s XVIII Airborne Corps and the ultimate authority over the court-martial. That letter, sent in December, said the accuser was opposed to a plea deal.

Health law cited as U.S. uninsured rate drops Survey: Hispanics behind in signing up for insurance By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The share of Americans without health insurance is dropping to the lowest levels since President Barack Obama took office, but sign-ups under his health care law lag among Hispanics — a big pool of potential beneficiaries. With just three weeks left to enroll on the new insurance exchanges, the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, finds that 15.9 percent of U.S. adults are uninsured thus far in 2014, down from 17.1 percent for the last three months — or calendar quarter— of 2013. Released Monday, the survey based on more than 28,000 interviews is a major independent effort to track the health care rollout. The drop of 1.2 percentage points in the uninsured

Colorado collects $2M in pot taxes Sales total $14M; lawmakers unsure how to spend money By Kristen Wyatt

The Associated Press

DENVER — Colorado made roughly $2 million in marijuana taxes in January, state revenue officials reported Monday in the world’s first accounting of the recreational pot business. The tax total reported by the state Department of Revenue indicates $14.02 million worth of recreational pot was sold. The state collected roughly $2.01 million in taxes. Colorado legalized pot in 2012, but the commercial sale of marijuana didn’t begin until January. Washington state sales begin in coming months. The pot taxes come from 12.9 percent sales taxes and 15 percent excise taxes. Voters approved the pot taxes last year. They declared that the first $40 million of the excise tax must go to school construction; the rest will be spent by state lawmakers. Colorado has about 160 statelicensed recreational marijuana stores, though local licensing kept some from opening in January. Local governments also have the ability to levy additional pot sales taxes if they wish. Monday’s tax release intensified lobbying over how Colorado should spend its pot money. Budget-writers expect the nascent marijuana industry to be extremely volatile for several years, making lawmakers nervous about how to spend the windfall. Budget-writing lawmakers joke that plenty of interests have their hands out to get a piece of the pot windfall. Gov. John Hickenlooper has already sent the Legislature a detailed $134 million proposal for spending recreational and medical marijuana money, including new spending on anti-drug messaging to kids and more advertising discouraging driving while high. State police chiefs have asked for more money, too. “The whole world wants to belly up to this trough,” said Sen. Pat Steadman, a Denver Democrat who serves on Colorado’s budget-writing Joint Budget Committee. Other countries also are watching Colorado, which has the world’s first fully regulated recreational marijuana market. The Netherlands has legal sales of pot but does not allow growing or distribution. Uruguay’s marijuana program is still under development. Colorado’s pot revenue picture is further complicated by the state’s unique budget constraints, known as the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights not only requires voter approval for tax increases, it limits budget-writers when those taxes earn more than the figure posed to voters. Last year’s pot vote guessed that the taxes would produce $70 million a year, and it’s not clear what lawmakers can do with tax money that exceeds that figure.

rate translates to about 3 million people gaining coverage. Gallup said the proportion of Americans who are uninsured is on track to drop to the lowest quarterly level it measured since 2008, before Obama took office. “It’s probably a reasonable hypothesis that the Affordable Care Act is having something to do with this drop,” said Frank Newport, Gallup’s editorin-chief. “We saw a continuation of the trend we saw last month; it didn’t bounce back up.” The survey found that almost every major demographic group made progress getting health insurance, although Hispanics lagged. With the highest uninsured rate of any racial or ethnic group, Latinos were expected to be major beneficiaries of the new health care law. They are a relatively young population and many are on the lower rungs of the middle class, in jobs that don’t come with health insurance. They’ve also

gone big for Obama in his two presidential campaigns. But the administration’s outreach effort to Hispanics stumbled from the start. The Spanish-language enrollment website, cuidadodesalud.gov, was delayed due to technical problems. Its name sounds like a clunky translation from English: “Care of Health.” The feds also translated “Affordable Care Act” as “Law for Care of Health at Low Price” — which doesn’t sound too appealing. A spot check of the Spanish site on Monday showed parts of it still use a mix of Spanish and English to convey information on such basics as insurance copays, risking confusion. With disappointing Latino sign-ups, the administration is making a special pitch as the end of open enrollment season approaches March 31. The president was on Spanishlanguage television networks last week to raise awareness. Obama assured viewers that signing up for health care

won’t trigger the deportation of any relatives who are in the country illegally. The law’s benefits are only for citizens and legal U.S. residents. Gallup found the biggest drop in the uninsured rate was among households making less than $36,000 a year — a decline of 2.8 percentage points. Among blacks, the uninsured rate was down by 2.6 percentage points. It declined by 1 percentage point among whites. But Latinos saw a drop of just eight-tenths of a percentage point. The Gallup poll is considered authoritative because it combines the scope and depth found in government surveys with the timeliness of media sampling. Pollsters interview 500 people a day, 350 days a year. The latest health care results were based on more than 28,000 interviews, or about 28 times as many as in a standard national poll. The survey can be an early indicator. Gallup saw a modest decline in the uninsured rate in January, and now

two full months of data point to a trend emerging. “This is another indication that the [law] is achieving its key objectives,” said Aaron Albright, a spokesman for the Medicare agency, which is also steering the rollout. Gallup said the drop coincides with the start of coverage under the health care law on Jan. 1. The major elements are now in effect. Virtually all Americans are required to get covered or risk fines. Insurers can no longer turn away people with health problems. New state-based markets are offering taxpayer-subsidized private insurance to middle-class households. Medicaid rolls also are growing, with about half the states agreeing to the program expansion in the law. Low-income people who qualify for Medicaid are able to sign up yearround, so the uninsured rate may keep going down even after the end of open enrollment for private coverage.

Senate Dems plan all-nighter on climate change Group’s objective is to raise urgency of global warming By Coral Davenport

The New York Times

WASHINGTON — The Senate was headed into another all-nighter Monday evening as 26 Democrats who call themselves the “climate caucus” planned to speak nonstop about climate change from about 6:30 p.m. until 9 a.m. Tuesday. The talkathon is the latest effort by the group, which is working with a parallel House caucus, to elevate the issue of global warming. The members know that serious climate change legislation stands no chance of passage in this divided Congress, where many lawmakers in the Republican-majority House deny the science of humancaused global warming. Climate caucus members say their objective is to raise the urgency of

global warming and build toward a time when the political landscape may have shifted enough that a bill could pass. They argue that there are signs that the political winds may already be changing. “It’s aimed towards the day when something more concrete can be legislated,” said Sen. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., a veteran of climate and clean-energy policy battles. Markey, who made climate change the centerpiece of his campaign when he ran in a special election for the Senate last year, was part of a group of House Democrats who started pushing in the 1990s for a bill to increase vehicle fuel economy standards. The auto industry lobbied fiercely and effectively against the bill for years, but Markey kept going in floor speeches, meetings and behind-the-scenes efforts. Opinion eventually began to change as public support grew and Republicans who had once opposed tougher

standards changed their minds. The landmark law was passed in 2007 and signed by President George W. Bush. “What we’re trying to do here is accomplish the same thing,” Markey said. In addition to Monday’s overnight session, members of the group give regular speeches on the floor of the House and the Senate about the urgency of fighting climate change. They hold weekly meetings with environmentalists, lobbyists and some corporate leaders who support their policies. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., a leading member of the caucus, is planning a trip to Iowa centered on events related to climate change, in the hope of elevating the issue before the 2016 presidential caucuses. The members of the Senate climate caucus say they do not expect a bill to pass this year, but their efforts, combined with changes in opinion in Washington and in the country overall, could lay the groundwork for passage

of a major climate bill in the next three to five years. Among the biggest recent changes is the injection of hundreds of millions of dollars to support candidates who make climate change a priority. California hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer has pledged to spend up to $100 million in this year’s midterm elections to help elect candidates who support strengthened climate policy. His infusion has helped lead to the rise of what advocates call “climate candidates” — mainstream politicians who make climate change a central issue of their platform. Last year, Steyer spent $11 million in the Virginia governor’s race targeting Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, a Republican who questioned the science of climate change and lost to Terry McAuliffe, the Democrat. Steyer and other environmental groups spent heavily in Markey’s campaign as well. Now those groups are planning to invest in an Iowa Senate race in which Rep. Bruce

Braley, the Democratic candidate, is running on a platform of tackling climate change. Other Democrats are also talking more about the issue. President Barack Obama, who during his 2012 re-election campaign was warned by his political advisers to avoid speaking about global warming, has since given a series of speeches on the topic and plans to issue a set of climate change regulations through the Environmental Protection Agency. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the majority leader, who was to take part in the Senate climate session, has also begun speaking more forcefully on the issue. “Climate change is the worst problem facing the world today,” Reid told reporters last week. A rising class of younger senators has also begun embracing climate change as an issue, among them Martin Heinrich of New Mexico and Brian Schatz of Hawaii, both Democrats.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday called the increase in heroinrelated deaths an “urgent and growing public health crisis” and said first responders should carry with them a drug that can reverse the effects of an overdose. The video message posted on the Justice Department’s website reflects the federal government’s concern about the growing prevalence of heroin and prescription painkillers’ abuse. The number of overdose deaths involving heroin increased by 45 percent between 2006 and 2010, according to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, and several state governors have recently drawn attention to the impact of heroin abuse in their communities. “Addiction to heroin and other opiates, including certain prescription pain-killers, is impacting the lives of Americans in every state, in every region, and from every background and walk of life — and all too often, with deadly results,” Holder said in the message. The attorney general’s public support for an antidote that could be used to rescue overdosing drug users mirrors the position of the White House drug policy office, which also has urged all first responders to have the medication on hand. At least 17 states and the District of Columbia allow naloxone — commonly known by the brand name Narcan — to be distributed to the public, and bills are pending in some states to increase access to it. Advocates say Narcan, which comes in a spray and injectable form, has the potential to save many lives if administered within a certain window. But critics fear that making the antidote too accessible could encourage drug use. Holder said law enforcement is combatting the overdose problem, including by cutting off the supply chain that illicitly furnishes prescription painkillers to drug addicts. But he said more work is needed to prevent and treat drug addiction. “Confronting this crisis will require a combination of enforcement and treatment. The Justice Department is committed to both,” he said. Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, a group that advocates against what it sees as “the excesses” of the war on drugs, said in addition to promoting broader access to Narcan, the Justice Department should also back better education about heroin abuse and promote “Good Samaritan” laws that protect from prosecution individuals who call police to report an overdose. The organization said in a statement that it believes the antidote should be made available to anyone who might be in a position to witness an overdose, such as a friend or relative of an addict.

THE NEW MEXICAN Tuesday, March 11, 2014

King: 18 percent of delegates backed Lopez Continued from Page A-1 Alan Webber came in second, with 21 percent, and Lawrence Rael, a longtime government administrator, earned 20 percent. About 18 percent of convention delegates backed Sen. Linda Lopez of Albuquerque. Lopez did not immediately return a telephone message and email seeking comment on her campaign plans in the wake of the convention. The convention determines ballot order for candidates, so Morales will be listed first and Webber second.

The outcome of convention voting doesn’t indicate how the primary election will turn out. But no candidate has missed the 20 percent threshold and gone on to win their party’s nomination. Two-term Republican Gary Johnson barely reached the 20 percent mark in his first run for governor in 1994, but he won the primary and then the general election. Brian Sanderoff, an Albuquerque pollster who’s long watched state politics but doesn’t work for candidates, said the con-

vention outcome “will be forgotten very quickly.” But he said there’s a lingering question of why King did so poorly among party loyalists given his extensive personal and family political experience. Convention delegates favored “new faces to the political scene” rather than King, he said. “Gary King should have had the potential to do well at the convention,” Sanderoff said. “If you do well among the delegates, you’ve got a built-in group of people who can help you organize for the primary and later for the general election.”

was historic.” At a meeting of the review board in June 2012, Chairwoman Sharon Woods said the changes and additions could impact the status of the building as “contributing” to the historic character of the area. “I am concerned we are threatening its status by all the changes and how we are engulfing this building in additions. … The ordinance is very clear that we cannot lose the status of a building. And I feel you [architect Michael Duty] keep coming back and you want more and you want more.” Another board member, who declined to be identified, said recently that the architect “is just not putting a historic building on the pedestal it should be on.” But Joe Valdes, a former mayor of Santa Fe who lived in the house from his birth in 1930 until his marriage 25 years later, said he approves of the result. “What El Castillo did was spend a lot of money to do a service for their clients. Frankly, I was well-pleased with what they did,” he said. During a tour of the interior, Valdes sat in the area that had been his bedroom and the bedroom of his parents. “It felt good,” he said. “Sure, they had to make a lot of changes, such as making the floors all level, to meet the needs of the patients. [But] basically, I felt good about it. I think the architect did an outstanding job.” Architect Duty, who also acted as the agent for El Castillo, said he believes the remodel has been “a very good project because it’s an adaptive re-use for something that’s very strong for the community.” Pointing to a photo of the old Mission Café, he said, “There’s no argument that this is lovely, and when these new trees we’ve planted are mature, it’s going to be lovely, also.” There’s a duality in the city’s historic districts ordinance, he stressed. “On the one hand, [the board is] charged with preserving history, and there’s a bit of that going on. On the other hand, it is a design ordinance. It doesn’t have a damn thing to do with history. There’s an adopted look. “I would be the first to agree that the public has a vested interest in the built environment. I do not believe it trumps all other interests, and that’s where [the debate] comes in.”

the property, which include a solid privacy wall along the street, a large modern shade structure in the courtyard that replaced Siberian elms, and additions to the rear and east sides of the property to connect it to El Castillo. Others point out that El Castillo’s architect has gone before the Historic Districts Review Board five times since 2011 for various approvals to repurpose the property into a facility to meet rising community demand for memory care. And the grandson of the man who inherited the house in 1881 says he approves. El Castillo bought the property from Carolyn Sigstedt, who operated the Mission Café and Sweet Shop there from 2006-10. She updated the electrical, plumbing and heating systems, and in 2006, she won a city historic preservation award for her work. Preservationist John Eddy said that he thought people could “empathize” with the need for Alzheimer’s care, but he finds the new use “inappropriate.” A member of the Old Santa Fe Association (but not speaking for the group), he said, “I think a lot of people are upset. I certainly am. Carolyn did such a wonderful job on her stewardship of the property.” Eddy is especially bothered by the proliferation of heating and cooling systems involving rooftop structures. “The regulation is that these should not be seen from the street, or that they be appropriately screened in the historic district. People more and more are taking the old adobes that were pretty efficient at cooling and heating because of the thickness of the walls [and adapting them to suit people who want to live] in these temperaturecontrolled environments.” Architects and builders should be sensitive to the city’s historic character, Eddy added. “They wouldn’t be able to make the money they make if the cachet of Santa Fe wasn’t what it is, and that cachet comes from the fact that we’ve maintained our historical integrity.” He hopes there will continue to be a population to “cherish the properties we do have left.” Historian John Pen La Farge, another association member, warned early in the discussions that the proposals could “affect the look and feel of the neighborhood,” and the more the neighborhood’s integrity was affected, Contact Paul Weideman at “the more some day there 986-3043 or pweideman@ would be nothing left that sfnewmexican.com.

The Valdes House Manuel Valdes inherited the house from his aunt, Maria Salome Padilla, in 1881, according to a 2009 study by the Historic Santa Fe Foundation. “The origin of the house is unknown, but given its construction — the thick adobe walls and linear plan — it most likely dates to the early 19th century, a typical farmhouse on the south side of the Santa Fe River,” the report says. Valdes served as an altar boy to Archbishop JeanBaptiste Lamy, worked as a bookkeeper for the Spiegelberg Brothers and was mayor of Santa Fe from 1892-95. He married Luz Delgado in 1871. One of their six sons was Juan Bautista Valdes, who with his wife, Theodora, started his family in the house built around 1927 just south of the family home. Grandson Joseph E. Valdes, who served as mayor of Santa Fe from 1972-76, was born in the house. His family has long owned Valdes Paint & Glass and Valdes Art Supplies & Picture Frames.

Maestas signed paperwork, she told Aragon, “I’m on oxygen. If I turn blue, call 911.” Two incumbents, Carmichael Dominguez and Ron Trujillo, thanked their council colleagues as well as their families. Trujillo choked up while talking about his father, who died when Trujillo was 19. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. It’s times like this I wish he was here,” Trujillo said. “Like my mom, it’s because of him, I am who I am.”

Father: ‘I know Adam would have killed me’ Continued from Page A-1 the elementary school. Peter Lanza said he had no doubt that his son would have killed him as well. “With hindsight, I know Adam would have killed me in a heartbeat, if he’d had the chance. I don’t question that for a minute,” he said. “The reason he shot Nancy four times was one for each of us: one for Nancy, one for him, one for Ryan, one for me.” Ryan is Adam’s older brother. An exhaustive report by Connecticut authorities released last year provided the most complete picture to date about Adam Lanza’s life and the events on the day of the shooting. Peter Lanza’s account confirms the basic portrait that emerged from the investigation and adds new details as well as a deeper understanding of how he and Adam’s mother struggled to understand and care for their son. Lanza described Adam’s behavior as a child as “weird” but never dangerous. “In preschool and at Sandy Hook, where he was a pupil till the beginning of sixth grade, he sometimes smelled things that weren’t there and washed his hands excessively,” Solomon writes. “A doctor diagnosed sensory-integration disorder, and Adam underwent speech therapy and occupational therapy in kindergarten and first grade. Teachers were told to watch for seizures.” Lanza said he never had any indication that his son might have harbored a problem with his elementary school.

“Adam loved Sandy Hook school,” he said. “He stated, as he was growing older, how much he had liked being a little kid.” Lanza said that the first official diagnosis they received concerning Adam’s mental health came when he was 13. The diagnosis was Asperger’s syndrome, a category that the American Psychiatric Association has since subsumed into the broader diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. Adam refused to accept that he had the disorder. When Adam Lanza was 14, his parents took him to the Yale Child Study Center for further diagnosis. “The psychiatrist who assessed Adam, Robert King, recorded that he was a ‘pale, gaunt, awkward young adolescent standing rigidly with downcast gaze and declining to shake hands.’ He also noted that Adam ‘had relatively little spontaneous speech but responded in a flat tone with little inflection and almost mechanical prosody,’ ” according to The New Yorker article. King noted the demands that Adam was increasingly placing on his mother. “He disapproves if mother leans on anything in the house because it is ‘improper,’ ” Solomon wrote. “He is also intolerant if mother brushes by his chair and objected to her new high heel boots, because they were ‘too loud.’ If mother walks in front of him in the kitchen, he would insist she redo it.” Experts say there is no evidence that people who have autism spectrum disorders are more likely than any other group to commit violent crimes. Peter Lanza said that the diagnosis might

have kept them from realizing the danger their son posed. “If he had been a totally normal adolescent and he was well-adjusted and then all of a sudden went into isolation, alarms would go off,” Lanza said. “But let’s keep in mind that you expect Adam to be weird.” In 2009, the Lanzas divorced. In September 2010, Adam and his father had an argument about his education, and it was the last time the two spoke. “I was hurt,” Peter Lanza recalled. “I never expected that I would never talk to him again. I thought it was a matter of when.” In those years, Adam grew more isolated. He eventually stopped speaking to his mother, communicating only via email, according to the state investigation. Peter Lanza said that if his wife was worried for her safety, she never told anyone, as far as he knew. “She never confided to her sister or best friend about being afraid of him,” he said. “She slept with her bedroom door unlocked, and she kept guns in the house, which she would not have done if she were frightened.” Peter Lanza, an accountant and a vice president for taxes at a General Electric subsidiary, insisted that no one could have predicted what his son would do. Still, he regrets not pushing harder to remain a part of his life. Now, his son is a constant presence in his thoughts. “It’s not like I ever go an hour when it doesn’t cross my mind,” he said.

LOCAL NEWS Workers prepare to enter nuke site Monitors found no contamination in repository’s salt shaft By Susan Montoya Bryan

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — The U.S. Department of Energy and the operators of the nation’s only underground nuclear waste dump said Monday they are making plans to allow specially trained workers enter the site for the first time in weeks after more than a dozen employees were exposed to low levels of radiation during a mysterious leak. Officials acknowledge they are in uncharted territory in responding to something that has never happened since the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant opened in 1999. The site is important to the nation’s efforts to clean up decades of Cold War-era waste, and administrators are eager to resume operations once they are convinced it’s safe to do so.

The monitors detected no radioactive contamination in the shafts. “Once they’ve determined that space is clean and safe, they’ll send people down, and that will be kind of a base to operate from, and they’ll start moving forward, taking samples, until they get to the contaminated area,” said Russell Hardy, director of the Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center, which has been monitoring air quality above-ground at the location.

Christmas murder trial sees opposing testimonies By Phaedra Haywood

The New Mexican

Leroy Romero made the shape of a gun with his fingers and held his hand in front of his body as he talked. “I saw Joe Rivera with is hand like this, and he shot Nick Baker in the chest,” the 19-year-old testified Monday during the murder trial of Joe Rivera, also 19, who is accused of killing two men at a party south of the city on Christmas night 2012. About a dozen people were there when Nicholas Baker, 29, and John Griego, 23, were shot to death under the carport outside Griego’s house in the Valle Vista subdivision off N.M. 14. Five of them testified Monday. But only Romero — Griego’s nephew — claims to have seen Rivera pull the trigger, and he admitJoe Rivera ted on cross examination that he twice lied to police about the events of that night and also lied under oath during a preliminary hearing in the case. Prosecutor Susan Stinson said Rivera — who turned 18 less than a month before the shootings — went to the party that night with a handgun tucked inside his pants, and when tempers flared, he took the gun out and shot both Baker and Griego in the chest. “And while [Griego] was laying in that driveway, he put another bullet in him,” Stinson said Monday, drawing a gasp from a packed gallery of friends and family of those involved in the incident, many of whom began weeping as soon as the trial started Monday morning. Baker was taken to the hospital after he was shot and died shortly afterward, Stinson said, but “[Griego] died laying in the dirt and ice of his driveway.” After shooting the two men, Stinson said in her opening statement, Rivera went to a friend’s apartment and spent the night. The next day, Rivera’s older brother came and helped him “hide evidence,” Stinson said, and then Rivera went on the run, eluding police for six days before he was apprehended on New Year’s Eve 2012. Defense attorney David Silva presented an alternate version of events, saying Rivera shot in “self-defense and defense of another,” protecting himself and his younger brother Issac Cordova, just 16 at the time, against two “large adult men who were drunk and angry and attacking two teenagers.” Not only did Rivera shoot in self-defense, Silva said, but the gun he used was not even his. According to Silva, Rivera’s then-girlfriend Cassandra Valencia found out about the party via Facebook and the two teens, along with another couple, Rivera’s little brother and another boy, arrived at the party to find their host Griego — whom none of them knew — drunk and upset that the group contained only two women and four men when he had specifically instructed his friends to invite some girls to party. When Rivera walked in, the men began to talk about gang affiliations, Silva said, and told Rivera, who is from the “west side” that it was a “south side” party. After Valencia arranged to purchase a gallon of Captain Morgan rum from Griego for $50, Silva said, the group of teens tried to leave the party, and most of them made it to the car. But when Rivera and his younger brother attempted to leave, Silva said, Griego and Baker blocked their way. “They are told, ‘You aren’t going anywhere. You are going to stay here and drink that whiskey here,’ ” Silva said during his opening statement. A fight broke out, Silva said, with the two smaller, younger boys defending themselves against the two larger, older men, and during the skirmish “a gun drops out on the floor. [Rivera] picks it up and starts firing … then runs to the car.” The teens who accompanied Rivera to the party testified Monday that they heard gunshots but saw nothing. Selena Valencia, then 17, said she was behind the wheel of the car and peeled out of driveway so fast after hearing gunshots that Cassandra Valencia, who hadn’t closed her car door yet, fell out onto the ground. Silva said he didn’t know if the two Valencia girls were related. The teens agreed that Rivera, Cordova and Cassandra Valencia ran after the car, and that Selena Valencia stopped to pick them up. But they had different

why evolution is to blame for why we can’t widen our friend circle, no matter how many people interact with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. In a 2010 interview with University of Oxford Books, Dunbar explained his number: “The number 150 really refers to those people with whom you have a personalized relationship, one that is reciprocal and based around general obligations of trust and reciprocity. If you asked them to do a favor, they would be more likely to say yes than those outside the 150.” Dunbar says it’s possible to correlate the size of a primate’s brain

with the average social group size. More specifically, the size of a human’s neocortex may limit the number of interrelationships he or she can process and maintain. Dunbar has written several books exploring human relationships, including The Science of Love and Betrayal; Evolutionary Psychology; The Trouble with Science; and Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language.

Police: Academy director cleared of promoting cheating A New Mexico State Police spokesman said Monday investigators cleared the state Law Enforcement Academy director of wrongdoing after an anonymous letter accused him of encouraging cadets to cheat on tests. The letter to the state Department of Public Safety last year, first reported Monday by KOB-TV, accused Jack Jones of asking instructors to “teach the test” in order for cadets to graduate from the academy. Tony Lynn, spokesman for the New Mexico State Police, said an internal investigation and an independent investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office found no evidence of wrongdoing. Lynn said the letter was sent in April 2013 and the investigations wrapped up soon after. Calls to representatives of the Attorney General’s Office were not returned immediately Monday evening. Jones has come under scrutiny by civil rights groups after he refused to release curriculum materials used to teach potential officers going through the academy. State Police Chief Pete Kassetas said last week that the Department of Public Safety plans to releases academy lesson plan material this week after news media outlets filed public-records requests.

Nuke: Levels declined Continued from Page A-7 they enter, which could happen in the next couple of weeks. The planning process has been methodical, officials told Carlsbad residents during a public meeting last week. Employees have also been working around the clock to keep track of air quality in the area around the plant. Their results are based on the amount of particles captured by small, thin paper filters installed in air monitoring devices. Officials say those levels of radioactivity have decreased significantly since February and

are now close to normal. Still, WIPP workers are having to check the filters daily at the repository’s exhaust shaft — a job typically done by Hardy and his employees — due to the potential for radiation exposure. “We’re not allowed to touch them right now,” Hardy said of the filters, which are usually removed with tweezers and placed in petri dishes for testing. Energy Department officials said workers have been able to seal the repository’s damper system with dense foam material to keep any unfiltered air from reaching the outside.

because “for all I knew the person who had done something was with us,” and said something to the effect of, “Whatever, dude, just be careful with that because I’m in front of you. … ” He also said he didn’t look back from his spot in the front seat. “I was just taking the situation as if he did have a gun,” Garcia said. “I was just saying it to whoever. I didn’t want to look. I didn’t want a surprise.” A number of inconsistencies arose during testimony Monday, including whether prior to arriving at the party Rivera talked on a cellphone to a person at the

party who already knew him, and whether that man tried to jump in the fleeing car only to be punched in the face by Rivera and ejected before the car sped away. Testimony in the case is scheduled to last through Thursday. Rivera is charged with two counts of second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, conspiracy and criminal solicitation to commit bribery of a witness. It was decided at an earlier hearing before District Judge Mary Marlowe that he would not be charged with first-degree murder because he had not “deliberated” to commit the alleged crimes.

Civil trial begins in APD shooting case ALBUQUERQUE — A civil trial over the fatal Albuquerque police shooting of a 27-year-old man with schizophrenia began Monday in a case that drew added scrutiny to the department’s high number of officer-involved shootings. Christopher Torres’ family filed the wrongful death lawsuit after the shooting. According to authorities, officers C.J. Brown and Richard Hilger shot Torres in the back at close range in 2011 while serving an arrest warrant on a felony charge of aggravated auto burglary for trying to carjack a woman at a traffic light. During the confrontation with police, Torres tried to punch Hilger and grabbed Hilger’s gun as

they scuffled in the suspect’s backyard, police said. Brown said in a deposition he drew his service pistol and fired three shots just inches from Torres’ back. Torres continued to struggle until after the third shot was fired, Brown said. “I didn’t know of his mental illness,” Brown said. “If we would have known, things may have been different.” Bernalillo County District Attorney Kari Brandenburg said last month that Brown and Hilger wouldn’t face criminal charges because it did not appear that they committed a crime during the April 2011 shooting.

MARGARET SUSAN ZEILIK Margaret Susan Zeilik, age 91, of Santa Fe, NM, and a long-time resident of Stratford and Bridgeport CT, passed away in loving care at Ponce de Leon, February 11, 2014. Margaret was born on November 3, 1922 in Punxsutawney, PA, to Andrew Sabo and Barbara Palinkas. The family moved to Bridgeport, where her father established a butcher shop to support seven children. Her home was walking distance to Seaside Park; Margaret loved the water, sun, and swimming. She enjoyed music-played the piano-and danced! The 40s big-band sound propelled her to the dance floor. One evening she dated Michael Zeilik, who took her out for a steak dinner and dancing. They kept jitterbugging long after they were married at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church in Bridgeport on July 6, 1944. Michael died in Santa Fe in November 2010. They enjoyed loving companionship for 66 years. Margaret raised two children-Michael and Pamela. When the family moved into the house her husband built in Stratford, CT, she took the kids on frequent beach excursions, escorting them on public buses. When they grew older, she worked part-time cafeteria positions at Bunnell High School in Stratford. Later, she moved up to manage food services at Flood Middle School. The students delighted in her handing out extra milk and deserts. Margaret’s family honors her: her son Michael, of Santa Fe; daughter, Pamela Lobel, of Lynn, MA; grandsons Zachary Zeilik, Jeremy Zeilik, of Santa Fe, and Andrew Lobel; and his spouse, Julia, of Peabody, MA. They greatly appreciate Helen Chavez, Margaret’s devoted caregiver. She and Margaret shared special jokes and toughness. Margaret rests next to her Michael at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe.

Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi revamps rooms as competition grows downtown By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

nother downtown hotel is sprucing up and polishing its look as a way to attract visitors in a more competitive market. The Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, 113 Washington Ave., is halfway through a redevelopment that aims to keep its historic Santa Fe charm and pair that with new features such as modern bathrooms and larger sitting areas. Gone are the tile floors, and all the new rooms will have upgraded light fixtures, granite baths and touches such as singlecup coffee makers.

Newly upgraded bathrooms feature marble surfaces.

that adorn the walls and complement the tongue-in-groove ceilings. “We’re still in keeping with Santa Fe, but in the style of what today’s travelers are looking for,” Allen said. “It’s quiet, it’s elegant. I like to say the Plaza is our best amenity — there’s no place closer.” Rosewood spokeswoman Kimberly Hanson said this is the first time the rooms have been upgraded in 22 years. She said the redesign was under the direction of Jim Rimelspach Wilson Associates, the same design firm responsible for the hotel’s original interiors. Allen said the Anasazi has never been heavily reliant on the large group or convention business; rather, its mainstays are on romantic getaways and individual highend travelers who hope to get away from the crowds. The Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi is owned and managed by Rosewood

Hotels & Resorts, an international chain of luxury hotel properties with locations in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean/ Atlantic. The hotel and resort property is in turn owned by the New World Group, a Hong Kong-based property and development conglomerate that is publicly traded. Allen said she expects the downtown hotel scene will be invigorated by the opening of the Drury Plaza Hotel, as it will bring new life to a corner on Paseo de Peralta that was empty. But hotels such as Drury, as well as La Fonda and the Eldorado Hotel, she added, cater more to larger groups and convention travelers, instead of to those looking for a more individualized experience.

Visionary business leaders make things happen For The New Mexican

lanning in business isn’t just a matter of deciding how to assign capital and resources to create a profitable venture. Equally essential is developing a distance vision. The most effective business leaders are planners and visionaries with creative, dynamic and specific ideas about where they want their company to be three years or five years from now. Their focus is “macro” and “micro” — they zoom in and out, from the specific to the general and back again, absorbing information about their own company and the larger environment of the industry and the economy in which the company operates. This autofocus helps the visionary leader identify trends that are likely to translate into opportunities and to act with intention to pursue them.

Forming a picture Some visionary leaders are born, but most are made. They learn from the mistakes and successes of other business leaders. The visionary process begins with the entrepreneur developing a mental picture — a hologram — of her company several years in the future. She imagines how technological

innovations might affect the business in positive and negative ways and how tomorrow’s target market will look and act. Firmly planted in the present, she imagines her company’s path from now to several years from now with an eye to beating competitors to that distant place. She thinks in tangible terms — of revenue, market share and other measurables — and she thinks big. If the company isn’t where it needs to be to reach its destination, the missing steps will be obvious as she works her way back from point B to point A. She exercises discipline to keep everyone on track toward the organizational objective. As a visionary leader, she has the discipline and farsightedness to inspire her team toward its target.

The action plan Getting from vision to achievement requires action — of the concerted, deliberate and coordinated kind. Choreographing these steps is the task of the visionary leader, who provides direction and motivation to his team of talent. He’s an enabler in the best sense — the creator and cultivator of an environment where transcendent thinking is rewarded and progress is celebrated. He is clear about what he wants from team

members and leaders and keeps them stimulated with feedback and progress reports that help them see the macro picture that drives all company activities. A truly visionary leader has humility; he’s the first to take responsibility when a milestone isn’t reached, seeing it as an opportunity to rededicate himself to becoming a better leader.

Don’t stop now Some business leaders are content to do one thing well, rarely straying from the core mission once they’ve reached their original goal. But a visionary leader isn’t content with the status quo. She is always looking for ways to improve products, win customers, streamline production and expand market share. Once the company has a solid foundation and brand recognition, she’ll consider extending a product line or tying the brand to complementary products — the way Nike did when it added apparel, sports equipment and accessories to its core product, athletic shoes. The point of visionary leadership is evolution — with intention.

Commercial, retail vacancy rates drop S

oftening rents and the slow pace of construction has helped the commercial office market in Santa Fe, and the vacancy rate now is below 10 percent, according to Allen Branch. Branch, who recently published his 2014 commercial real estate reports, pegs the overall commercial vacancy rate at 9.28 percent, while the retail vacancy rate citywide is below 5 percent for the first time since the start of the Great Recession. In both markets, lower prices have helped boost lease renewals and new activity. Branch notes that the vacancy Bruce rate for downtown retail stands at Krasnow 4.8 percent in part because rents have come down from a peak of Business Matters $29 per square foot in 2007 to $23.89 per square foot today. “Due to confidence not seen since 2006, investors and tenants are once again willing to buy and lease,” Branch writes. “In fact a flurry of commercial activity has taken over the City Different despite headwinds of a lagging overall job market.” With regards to downtown office space, Branch notes: “The several contiguous blocks that were available downtown have been slowly broken up and are being absorbed. Downtown’s 2014 vacancy rate plummeted to 8.48 percent [for office space] as rental rates dropped across the city.” He said the market benefited when “several leases were restructured to reflect the new market realities.” The area in the city with the lowest vacancy rate for office property remains the South Capitol neighborhood, which includes the area around St. Francis Drive and Cordova Road, which has less than 3 percent vacancy. For retail space, the lowest vacancy rate is on the city’s west side (under 1 percent), where land available for new growth is very limited. Other highlights: u Office space in the medical district around Christus St. Vincent Regional Regional Medical Center is expected to grow by 25 percent come 2021, and the neighborhood now has a vacancy rate of just 4 percent. u The south side still has the highest office vacancy rate (about 19 percent), and the area remains plagued by large empty buildings and the slowdown in government spending, Branch says. u Retail on the south side remains strong even though square footage has doubled since 1990. Rents on the south side average $15.50 per square foot, and the vacancy rate is just above 4 percent. Going forward, Branch forecasts stable rents as vacancy rates decline and new construction starts to take hold in many areas with an uptick in the economy and the construction industry.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Dalai Lama shares meaning of life on visit to Santa Fe ski area, March 1

“ There is no meaning, that’s what makes it so “ interesting!” M.H. What a delightful read!” M.G.

Javier Gonzales wins Santa Fe mayoral race, March 4 One-third of 29 percent of the registered voters “ equals 9 percent winner. Democracy is dead — but good luck, winners.” D.C.

Win or lose, these candidates better get past their “ own politics and work together. We all deserve more professionalism and cooperation in those who hold office. Less sour grapes more unity and conscientious action please!” C.V.

Que viva, Javier! You are a born leader and have “ the heart of a true Santa Fe native. Your energizing

demeanor, intricate knowledge of Santa Fe’s cultural and business environments, and innovative foresight will lead the state’s capital with distinguished governance. Congrats Javier!” L.D.

Since the mayoral race is now history, let’s give “ this new Mayor Javier Gonzales a chance to prove

himself to his constituents. Secondly, [Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas] need to get on board and work as a collective unit in the best interests of all Santa Fe. Surely, the city has many important issues to deal with that needs to be seriously addressed (i.e., public safety, water issues, social/economic, education, etc.). Lastly, Mayor-elect Gonzales needs to stay focused and not get caught up with the drama of sour milk that usually spills out during the City Council meetings. Leadership by example, I say.” F.C.

SFCC agrees to pay Guzmán $500,000 in settlement, March 4 I’m sure glad that the college is so well-funded “ that they can afford to throw away $500,000 to

cover up a hastily made personnel decision. I’ll keep that in mind the next time there is a bond vote.” P.K.

Wish somebody would give me half a million “ dollars to not come to work and keep my mouth shut. What a deal!” S.L.

Half a million dollars is a lot of ‘forgetting,’ don’t “ you think? Especially to those of us who have to foot

the bill for these back-biting, in-house catﬁghts.” J.B.

Mother pleads guilty in death of 3-year-old Pojoaque boy, March 5 This is no ‘mom.’ This is a monster.” R.D.W. “ Too bad the last governor that was in office will “ not be held accountable for anything. I feel for the

young boy [who] suffered and the family that loved him.” P.R.

They need to ensure [Tabetha] Van Holtz will “ serve the maximum sentence of nine years. No mat-

ter how well she does in her testimony against her ex-boyfriend, a mother should be held accountable for allowing her child to live in a situation where they are in constant danger. Yes, the Children, Youth and Families Department and law enforcement offices are never perfect when it comes to ensuring situations like this will never happen. However, for once let us focus on the real bad guys here. Van Holtz and her ex-boyfriend are the real reasons why Leland is no longer with us.” D.M.

Chief to step down; Gonzales to revisit unpopular policies, March 6

“

I am sad to see Ray [Rael] leave. He is a good man and cares for the community and doing what is best for you all with limited resources. I sincerely hope that [Javier] Gonzales will really review numbers before he makes any not-so-ideal changes. I get that officers enjoyed an extra day off to de-stress. I also know from experience that the 10-hour shifts created many opportunities for overtime, and that the ofﬁcers liked that overtime. Overtime creates a shortage in the budget, and that can create shortages all the way down the line. Good luck, Ray, on retirement! Hope you enjoy some time for you and family. Many of us are proud of you.” L.R.

Undoubtedly, [Ray] Rael is a good and qualiﬁed “ chief of police, and his leaving will surely be felt. In a

position of leadership, you cannot please all of the people all of the time. There are always some in the department whose only mission is wanting to disrupt the mission of the department. Rael will go down in history as one of the best police chiefs in the history of the department.” J.M.

And so it begins. Four years of entertainment.” “ P.W. Sixty percent of the force works swing or grave“ yard shifts, and considering the stressful and poten-

tially dangerous nature of police work, they are not easily categorized as ‘most full-time folks.’ The extra day off is helpful for them to unwind, recharge and get mentally and physically ready for the next work week.” P.N.

Together we can protect our future

he Land of Enchantment ranges from mountains to flat plains with ancient ruins to caverns that definitely enchant most who take part in New Mexico beauty. Chaco Canyon, in northwestern New Mexico, is one of these beauties that has ancient ruins that are more than a thousand years old and is at risk for “fracking.” Fracking has the ability to pollute our air and uses billions of gallons of fresh water, polluting it with benzene and other harmful chemicals. In a single year, fracking generated 3 billion gallons of toxic waste in New Mexico. The gas that is leaked during drilling and the potent toxic chemicals that are used in the fracking process create air pollution that increases global warming and is a danger to health. I call on our leaders to protect Chaco Canyon from the risks of fracking so that our future generations can enjoy a New Mexico beauty. Jessie J. Hernandez

Solar for jobs One thing that doesn’t rise as consistently as the sun is our employment rate. The solar energy industry could help to change that though, because like the sun each morning, jobs in the solar industry are on the rise. (http://thesolarfoundation. org/research/national-solar-jobscensus-2013) The solar industry has added more than 20,000 jobs since November 2012, a 19.9 percent increase, which is more than 10 times the national employment growth rate of 1.9 percent. The best part about these jobs that are being created is that most of them are paid a living wage. Right now New Mexico is ranked 10th in the nation for solar jobs per capita. The solar energy industry is not only good for the unemployment crisis so many of us New Mexicans are suffering through,

but it is also a positive step to a healthier environment. We have an abundance of sun here in our Land of Enchantment, and our sunsets are something we are known for. If we could harness more of this power from the sun and reduce our independence on fossil fuels, then maybe we could be known as the leading state for solar energy as well. And to top it off, we would be creating much-needed jobs for New Mexicans in need. Tyler Schutte

Toxic waste

nesses to ban certain people from their establishments, simply because of different religious beliefs. The fact that Gov. Jan Brewer waited until the last minute indicates that she was advised it would be political suicide not to veto. Yet, it is unbelievable that we now see bills like this cropping up in other states, such as Georgia and Mississippi. It should be disgraceful to even entertain the thought of trashing America’s civil rights laws that our forefathers and brave soldiers have fought and died for. Freedom of religion and equality should be the hallmarks of American pride, not something to be disregarded and thrown away. Sharlene White

The New York Times article (“Amid toxic waste, a Navajo village could lose its land”) published last month talks about General Electric’s involvement in uranium cleanup in New Mexico and the Navajo Nation, but misses key facts. First, the uranium contamination exists because, back in 1979, a nuclear waste pond at a uranium mill operated by a GE subsidiary (United Nuclear Corporation) breached, spilling 1,110 tons of radioactive waste and 93 million gallons of radioactive liquid. This was the largest release of radioactive material in U.S. history, yet only about 1 percent of that waste has been cleaned up. Secondly, GE has fought tooth and nail to evade responsibility for cleaning up this site and the surrounding area. This is evident in the fact that the mess remains nearly four decades after the spill. General Electric must be held accountable for removing this waste. Percy Anderson

Discrimination continues

Oceanside, Calif.

Common Core madness The politicians trying to quell the growing rebellion against the Common Core national standards by localizing the name ought to be brought up on contempt of the public charges. (“Some states customize education overhaul, ditch ‘Common Core’ label,” Jan. 31.) No one is more blatantly guilty than former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, TV talking head and presidential wannabe, who urged the elitists pushing the Core to “rebrand it, refocus it, but don’t retreat.” Surely parents who have caught on to the rottenness of the Common Core won’t be gulled by such sophistry. Far from being a voluntary endeavor that states can freely reshape (as The Washington Post reporter implied), Common Core is a copyrighted, inside-the-beltway production to which the Obama administration is seeking 100 percent adherence via Race to the Top largesse, regulatory rewrites and federal funding of the linked national tests. An honest name change would be to “Obamacore.”

WIPP accident no reason to panic T he recent radiation event at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant has the potential to scare people who do not understand radiation and nuclear concepts. To the extent that you believe scientists and engineers are able to quantify and characterize radiation fields and sources, you can be assured that the public and environmental effects from the event were negligible in every meaningful sense of the word. The Department of Energy and the operating contractor have been extremely open with all information including off-site dose consequences, which have been posted publicly on the website very shortly after they were attained: www.wipp.energy. gov/Special/WIPP%20 Environmental%20 Sampling%20Results.pdf These results show the most conservative bounding doses that could have been received by individuals standing next to the air sampling locations represented on the map. The largest potential dose was at the site boundary where a maximum dose around 3 mrem was possible (if you stood by the air sampler for the full 15 hours). This is not much higher than the daily radiation dose a U.S. citizen receives on average from all sources combined including radon, radiation from natural radioactivity in the dirt, cosmic radiation and natural potassium in your body. All nearby occupied dwellings received a maximum potential dose near 0.1 mrem, which is near the average dose a U.S. citizen receives in just one hour from all sources combined. These are all much smaller than the yearly dose all of us have to receive just to live

due to having a healthy content of naturally radioactive potassium in our blood to insure our cells can get water into and out of them as need be. Some radioactivity was released during the event but the remaining radioactivity deposited on the ground was so small, it was literally undetectable on site or offsite using the most sensitive radiation detectors available. The only reason it was even detectable at all offsite was the concentration effect designed into the air samplers used by both the WIPP and New Mexico State University, which have been reporting measurement results consistent with each other despite independent sampling, measurement and information release criteria. The highest contamination levels predicted offsite right at the fence are so low, they are

effectively identical to the values that were already there prior to building the WIPP. Fear has historically been one of the greatest dangers when it comes to any upset condition at a nuclear facility. The only deaths recorded from the very large radioactivity release from Fukushima were due to unnecessary evacuations resulting in deaths from clinical issues like accidents and hospital patients not receiving proper care during the move. Full disclosure, I was at the WIPP site for two weeks after the event and have been keenly aware of all the radiation measurements, characterization and assessments that took place there. The event is truly an operational nightmare for a facility, which had always prided itself on a stellar record of disciplined operations and

excellence in mission execution. Today, the goal is recovery into a condition where operators can lick their wounds, learn from their mistakes and eventually try to serve this great nation once again in the cleanup of radioactive waste generated in the production of nuclear weapons. The workers there have in every way and do continue to desire to serve their community and loved ones. The mission is right and the goal is good to safely and permanently remove radioactive waste from the biosphere with no releases or overexposures at all. Robert B. Hayes, who lives in Hobbs, is a health physicist and a licensed New Mexico engineer in nuclear engineering with a master’s degree in physics and a doctorate in nuclear engineering.

Military assaults: The outrage continues

he examples are becoming too ridiculous to ignore, don’t you think? On Thursday, the military’s sexual assault morass was on display on both shores of the Potomac River. On the Virginia side, Pentagon officials admitted that the Army’s top man in charge of prosecuting sexual assault is being investigated for allegedly groping and trying to kiss a lawyer at — of all places — a conference on sexual assault. Crazy, right? Meanwhile, on the District of Columbia side of the river, the Senate decided that nah, the country doesn’t need a dramatic overhaul in the way the military handles sex assault cases. It’s all good, the majority agreed. Wonder what those senators make of Lt. Col. Joseph Morse, who also supervises a cadre of other special-victims prosecutors for the Army. These lawyers handle the really sensitive stuff, including domestic violence and child abuse. Morse is the guy who stood up in some of the Army’s darkest days recently, laying out the devastating case against a fellow soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians in Kandahar province. But not long before that trial, a female lawyer said Morse groped her and tried to kiss her in an Alexandria hotel room at the conference on sexual assault. Army officials verified the existence of the criminal investigation of Morse. This sounds depressingly similar to what happened last May, when Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski was arrested outside an Arlington, Va., bar’s Cinco de Mayo party for an alleged sexual assault. At the time, Krusinski was — yes — the guy in charge of the Air Force’s program to prevent sexual assaults. The charges against Krusinski were changed to assault, and a jury acquitted him. But

OUR VIEW

Healing wall worth a visit

not before the Pentagon tried to take his case away from Arlington County, Va., prosecutors. Which brings us back to the vote that unfolded in the Senate on Thursday. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., was pushing to remove sex-crime investigations and punishment from the chain of command — a proposal strongly opposed by the Pentagon brass. They resisted despite the fact that, according to their own research, there were an estimated 26,000 victims of sexual assault in 2012, and about 86 percent of the victims didn’t report the attacks because they feared retaliation or punishment. Despite those numbers, guess who won the battle on the Senate floor? Only 54 senators voted for Gillibrand’s plan. She needed 60 for the bill to pass. And she had been working hard on it for the past year, holding hearings that featured witness after witness relating terrible stories of sexual assault and the awful way their cases were handled. We heard from command-

ers who dismissed reports of assault based on snap judgments. We heard from women terrorized by their own commanders, the people they were supposed to report assaults to. We heard from women who survived enemy attacks, who defused bombs, but were attacked by their own. And we heard from Brian Lewis, who was stationed outside of Guam 14 years ago when a senior petty officer invited him to dinner and then raped him at knifepoint. After Lewis reported the attack, he was told to leave it alone and was sent back out to sea. A senior commander said he didn’t want that kind of disciplinary problem among his ranks, Lewis told the Senate Armed Services Committee during a hearing last March. It’s almost as if we’re tripping over these cases. I even know someone who resigned over the way sexual assaults were handled at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Denise Rucker Krepp was an officer in the U.S.

Coast Guard, continuing her family’s 200-year-old tradition. But when she requested an investigation into sexual assaults in 2011 in her role as chief counsel at the Maritime Administration, she was told by a Cabinet secretary that she shouldn’t have done that and was asked to resign. The sexual assaults and they way they were handled were “appalling,” she said in congressional testimony this year. Her family’s military tradition will end with her, she testified. “My daughters will not join the military and they will not join the military because of what I saw on active duty in the Coast Guard and because of what I saw as chief counsel of the U.S. Maritime Administration,” she said. Those who volunteer to serve our country deserve better than that from military leaders. But until the system changes, they aren’t likely to get it.

ith the exception of the Civil War, little has divided the United States so much as this nation’s participation in the conflict in Vietnam. Now, with members of the baby boomer generation dying off, and Vietnam veterans growing older every day, the war that so split the nation is becoming a distant memory. That’s why the presence of The Wall That Heals in Santa Fe this week is so important. The traveling memorial to the more than 58,000 service members killed in the war (official involvement: 1965-75) is a tactile reminder of the sacrifice of war, especially for so many who were not born as the battle raged. Based on the once-controversial Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall — a gash of black granite with the names of the fallen carved into the stone — the traveling wall pays tribute to those who never came home. Each name has a story, each name represents a person who left behind loved ones and whose dreams died a long way from home. The original memorial is in Washington, D.C. The traveling wall — a half-size replica of the real thing — comes to the people and has been touring the country since 1996. Some 398 names on that wall came from New Mexico; 17 from Santa Fe. First to die from Santa Fe was Francis Xavier Nava in 1966. An elementary school is named in his honor (some students will visit the wall while it is here), and his family members still live in Santa Fe, including a brother who has never visited the original memorial. While in Santa Fe, the wall will be parked at Fort Marcy Ballpark, with volunteers staffing the site 24 hours and the couple who operates The Wall That Heals on hand from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily to assist visitors in finding the names they are seeking. New Mexico has one distinction in remembering the fallen from the Vietnam War. It is the first state to gather photos of all those who died — a project put together by Alfredo Canales for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. Binders of those photos will be available for viewing during the six days that The Wall That Heals will be in Santa Fe. (The New Mexican will publish those photos Wednesday in a special commemorative section.) For children of today, born and raised during a war that seems so distant, it must be hard to fathom a war that blared from television sets every day and whose conflict ended up provoking violent protests on college campuses and on the streets. The universal draft, of course, meant that during Vietnam, even some senators’ sons served. The war was not fought by an all-volunteer group, as today’s wars have been. That war was fought by everyone’s sons — very few daughters, although women served bravely as nurses and medics. Only eight names on the wall are female. Because the fear of being drafted was so great, the youth population revolted with a fierceness that split apart generations. Some young men served in Vietnam. Others dodged the draft by staying in college. Others went to Canada. Still others went to prison as conscientious objectors. Veterans who returned after fighting were not honored as they should have been, and the bitterness of those years still lingers in the culture wars and left/right split. This wall, then, is for us to remember, pay tribute — and, as it says in the title, to help people heal. Take time to visit The Wall That Heals, because as we slog our way out of the latest U.S. war, healing is essential to our country’s future.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 11, 1914: Albuquerque — Dr. L.G. Rice, president of the New Mexico state board of health, today took active measures to prevent the spread of an epidemic of “ship fever” which has broken out in the Pueblo Indian village of Cañoncito Cojo, 40 miles west of here. Strict quarantine will be established at once. Seven Indians have the disease, which is spread by body lice and is considered the most deadly form of typhus. There are 200 Indians in the settlement. March 11, 1964: Four members of a family were burned last night in a flash fire in their home. Firemen said they were told the family was cleaning a dog with gasoline. The parents and 7-yearold son were in fair to good condition today at St. Vincent Hospital with first- and second-degree burns on their faces, arms and legs. Another daughter, 2½ received minor face burns. It is speculated the gasoline fumes were ignited by a stove pilot light. Nobody knows what happened to the dog.

NEW YORK he adventurous and news-making author and reporter Joe McGinniss, who skewered the marketing of Richard Nixon in The Selling of the President 1968 and tracked his personal journey from sympathizer to scourge of convicted killer Jeffrey MacDonald in the blockbuster Fatal Vision, died Monday at age 71. McGinniss, who announced in 2013 that he had been diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer, died from complications related to his disease. His attorney and longtime friend Dennis Holahan said he died at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Mass. Few journalists of his time so intrepidly pursued a story, burned so many bridges or more memorably placed themselves in the narrative, whether insisting on the guilt of MacDonald after seemingly befriending him or moving next door to Sarah Palin’s house for a most unauthorized biography of the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate. The tall, talkative McGinniss had early dreams of becoming a sports reporter and wrote books about soccer, horse racing and travel. But he was best known for two works that became touchstones in their respective genres — campaign books (The Selling of the President 1968) and true crime (Fatal Vision). In both cases, he had become fascinated by the difference between public image and private reality. McGinniss was a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1968 when an advertising man told him he was joining Hubert Humphrey’s presidential campaign. Intrigued that candidates had advertising teams, McGinniss was inspired to write a book and tried to get access to Humphrey. The Democrat turned him down, but, according to McGinniss, Nixon aide Leonard Garment allowed him in, one of the last times the ever-suspicious Nixon would permit a journalist so much time around him. Garment and other Nixon aides were apparently unaware, or unconcerned, that McGinniss’ heart was very much with the antiwar agitators the candidate so despised. The Republican’s victory that fall capped a onceunthinkable comeback for the former vice president, who had declared six years earlier that he was through with politics. Having lost the 1960 election in part because of his pale, sweaty appearance during his first debate with John F. Kennedy and aware of his reputation as a partisan willing to play dirty, Nixon had restricted his public outings and presented himself as a new and more mature candidate. McGinniss was far from the only writer to notice Nixon’s reinvention, but few offered such raw and unflattering details. The Selling of the President was a sneering rebuttal to Theodore H. White’s stately Making of the President campaign books. It revealed Nixon aides, including a young Roger Ailes, disparaging vice president candidate Spiro Agnew; drafting memos on how to fix Nixon’s “cold” image and

debating which black man — only one would be permitted — was right for participating in a televised panel discussion. “If White was the voice of the liberal consensus, with its sonorous even-keeled wisdom, McGinniss was an emissary from the New Journalism, with his countercultural accents, youthful iconoclasm, and nonchalant willingness to bare his left-leaning political views,” historian David Greenberg wrote in Nixon’s Shadow, published in 2003. The Selling of the President was published in 1969, spent months on The New York Times’ best-seller list and made McGinniss an eager media star. He quit the Inquirer and followed more personal interests. He wrote a novel, The Dream Team, and the idiosyncratic Heroes, a memoir that told of the breakup of his first marriage and romance with his eventual second wife, Nancy Doherty; and his failed quest for role models, among them author William Styron and Sen. Edward Kennedy. In 1979, he was a columnist for the Los Angeles HeraldExaminer when an argument without end was born: McGinniss was approached by MacDonald, a fellow California resident, about a possible book on the 1970 murders for which the physician and former Green Beret was being charged. In the early hours of Feb. 17, 1970, MacDonald’s pregnant wife and two small children were stabbed and beaten to death at the family’s home in Fort Bragg, N.C. The date, location and identities of the victims are virtually the only facts of the case not in dispute. MacDonald, who sustained a punctured lung and minor injuries, had insisted that the house was overrun by a gang of drug-crazed hippies that chanted slogans such as “Acid is groovy” and spelled “PIG” in blood on a bedroom wall, a murderous rampage seemingly inspired by the then-recent Charles Manson murders. But investigators suspected otherwise, believing that MacDonald killed his family and arranged the apartment to make it appear others had committed the crime. MacDonald was initially cleared of charges, then indicted, then finally brought to trial in 1979. He was found guilty and sentenced to three consecutive life terms. Fatal Vision, published in 1983, became one of the most widely read and contested true crime books in history. McGinniss wrote not just of the case but of his own conclusions. He had at first found MacDonald charming and sincere but came to believe that he was a sociopath who had committed the killings while in a frenzied state brought on by diet pills. McGinniss’ findings weren’t welcomed by MacDonald or by some of his fellow journalists. MacDonald sued in 1987, alleging that McGinness had tricked him by pretending to believe in his innocence, and he received an out-of-court settlement of $325,000. New Yorker writer Janet Malcolm cited McGinniss as a prime case of the reporter as a “kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.”

And to the best team goes the spoils for having the best player. He beat out a player that most University of New Mexico fans probably For the second straight year, the voting members who dole out postseason awards thought was lock for the award: senior power forward Cameron Bairstow. The for the Mountain West Conference gave 6-foot-9 Australian led the league in the league’s player of the year award to the best player on the best team — but not scoring (20.3) and field goal percentage necessarily the top overall player.

and 12th in rebounding (7.2). Thames and SDSU clinched the regular season championship with a 51-48 victory over Bairstow and the Lobos last weekend in San Diego, a game in which the Aztecs overcame a 16-point deficit midway through the second half. That win may well have landed Thames the player of the year award, since some voters have gone on record saying they will, barring obvious exceptions, vote for the top player on the team

STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

for love of the game

By Joseph White

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When the Washington Redskins were placed in salary cap jail by the NFL, Kedric Golston had to say goodbye to his best friend on the team. For the past two years, the Redskins and Dallas Cowboys — otherwise rivals to the bitter end in the NFC East — have been constrained by a much-disputed ruling limiting how much money they could spend on players. It’s as if they were both forced to land on that “Go to Jail” space on the Monopoly board, while their opponents continued merrily down the final big-money stretch buying up Park Place and Boardwalk. “We lost some good football players,” Golston said. “Obviously Lorenzo Alexander wasn’t able to stay here because they didn’t have the money to pay him.” Alexander was the Redskins’ special teams captain. After he wasn’t re-signed a year ago, Washington had one of the worst special teams seasons in recent NFL history. The front office was able to maneuver the dollars enough to keep

Sharapova out; Murray, Federer win

By Beth Harris

The Associated Press

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Camila Giorgi upset defending champion Maria Sharapova 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open on Monday, giving the young Italian her first victory over a top-five player. Sharapova’s lob sailed long on Giorgi’s first match point, one of 58 errors for the Russian in her first loss to a player ranked outside the top 30 since Wimbledon last year. “She’s someone Camila Giorgi that doesn’t give you much rhythm,” Sharapova said. “She’s quite aggressive, but some shots she hits incredible for a long period of time. Sometimes they go off a bit. If I’m speaking about my level, it was nowhere near where it should have been.” Ranked 79th in the world, Giorgi made it through qualifying to play Indian Wells for the first time. She improved to 3-2 against top-10 opponents. The 22-year-old led 4-2 in the final set, but Sharapova broke Giorgi twice to tie it at 5. “I was trying to just play my game, and maybe I accelerate more than the other set,” Giorgi said. “I just play more aggressive.”

Basketball a common thread for generations of Casados family By James Barron

The New Mexican

n the Casados household, basketball is family. But family is not solely basketball. A sport must have a special hold on a family, especially for it to transcend generations. When the Santa Fe Preparatory boys basketball team, lines up for the National Anthem before every game, three generations of Casadoses grace its side. There’s Dennis Casados, the Blue Griffins’ thirdyear head coach who returned after 17 years away from the sport. And next to him is son and varsity assistant Darren Casados, who was the Class AAA player of the year in 1994 when he played for dad at Capital. A couple of bodies down the line is D.J. Casados, the senior guard for the Blue Griffins who is the do-everything cog for the Blue Griffins. They are a part of one of the top teams in Class AA in fifth-

seeded Prep, which plays No. 4 Texico in the AA quarterfinals at 3 p.m. in the Santa Ana Star Center on Wednesday. Missing from this family affair, however, is the fourth generation. In the past three years, Dennis lost father Don Casados Jr. and mother Katherine during the basketball season, and their imprints on the Casados legacy cannot be overlooked. Both were athletes as well, and Katherine was an accomplished basketball player in her own right during a time when

women’s athletics were a pipe dream. “She had some good stories on how good she was as a Las Cruces Lady Bulldog,” Darren says. “So, it runs deep, and she would bring it up to D.J. and Bianca [Gonzales, D.J.’s sister and a sophomore at Prep], ‘You need to shoot more.’ ” That athletic prowess continued with Dennis, the male athlete of the year at Santa Fe High in 1968; who passed it on down to Darren, who was Capital’s male athlete of the year in 1994; and it continues with D.J. and Bianca. But being an athlete is not a pre-requisite to be a Casados. “I have a daughter who didn’t play athletics and I love the heck out of her,” Dennis says. “I have grandkids who aren’t going to play, and I don’t care. As long as they are good people, good citizens, that’s all I care about.” While love knows no boundaries in the house-

Only NASCAR has prohibited teams from cooling their cars on pit road because doing so would require the use of a cooling box. Since few adjustments are allowed during qualifying rounds, the cooling box is not an option because it would require

teams to open the hood of the car. Once the hoods are open, inspectors would have too difficult of a time policing pit road to make sure no adjustments are being made to the cars. So teams figured out their own solution: Drivers are slowing their cars to a crawl and circling the track

Miles’ popularity soaring among Nebraska fans By Eric Olson

The Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. — Maybe Tim Miles really is a miracle worker. Men’s basketball is still relevant at Nebraska in March, the time of year when spring football typically dominates the sports conversation in the Cornhusker state. Instead, it’s all hoops, all the time right now and all eyes are on Miles. The energetic, quickwitted 47-year-old was hired in March 2012 and sold the dream of someday leading the Huskers to the NCAA Tournament and winning when they got there. Skeptical fans, accustomed to disappointment, said they would believe it when they see it. Well, the time might be coming sooner than anyone imagined. Nebraska (19-11) heads to Indianapolis for the Big Ten tournament after winning 10 of their last 12 games to finish fourth in the conference. The court-storming student section was, in a word, nuts during Sunday’s 77-68 upset of then-No. 9 Wisconsin. The rest of the sellout crowd showed up loud and proud, too, and responded favorably to Miles’ plea to stand and make noise the whole game. “You’re seeing a euphoric state of mind with our fans, and rightly so,” said Marc Boehm, the executive associate athletic director who oversees the program. “It’s happened quickly, it’s happened unexpectedly, and that’s the

beauty of all this.” Miles has connected with students and the rest of the fans like no other new Tim Miles Nebraska coach has before. He’s a voracious user of social media, and he shares in-game thoughts with some 62,000 followers with his halftime tweets. He high-fives students as he enters the arena, and he poses for pictures on the court after games. He gladly obliged a couple months ago when a man asked him to shoot a video to be used in a wedding proposal. He’s quick to tell stories about his small-town South Dakota upbringing and to poke fun at himself for ranking in the bottom half in a graduating class of 13. Of course, good will lasts only so long. Fans want to see results, and Miles is succeeding on that front, too. The Huskers’ 11 conference wins are two more than the total of the last two years and the most by a Nebraska team since 1965-66. “I really thought if this team could get to .500 in the league, it would be a special accomplishment,” Miles said. “For us to go 11-7 in this league, which is [ranked] one or two in the country, is really an amazing performance by our guys.” It looked like the same old Nebraska after a 15-point loss to Creighton and a 31-point stinker at Ohio State. The

Huskers were picked to finish last in the Big Ten, and they lost four straight and five of six to begin conference play. “We were all kind of on our own agendas and didn’t really know how to play with each other,” Terran Petteway said. Petteway, who transferred from Texas Tech, is scoring 18 points a game in Miles’ motion offense and is a contender for Big Ten player of the year. The 6-foot-10 Walter Pitchford, a transfer from Florida, is a doublefigure scorer who is a reliable 3-point shooter. Shields, who signed with former coach Doc Sadler in 2011, averages 13 points but could go off for 30 any night. Defensively, the Huskers held eight straight opponents under 40-percent shooting before Wisconsin shot 43 percent Sunday. “You recruit the right kind of guys, coach them the right way and good things happen,” Miles said. Nebraska would love to win at least a game or two in the Big Ten tournament but is confident it already has secured its first NCAA Tournament bid since 1998. “That’s not even a question in my mind when you play like that in this league,” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. This breakthrough season has been in the works since the administration decided to get serious about basketball. Former athletic director Tom Osborne oversaw the construction of one of the nation’s best practice facilities.

Thames: SDSU’s Fisher coach of the year Continued from Page B-1 that finishes first. The same situation came up a year ago when UNM’s Kendall Williams won the award despite San Diego State’s Jamal Franklin having a better season in most statistical references. The Lobos won the 2012-13 MWC regular season crown. Monday’s announcement came with immediate backlash across social media. Wyoming’s Larry Nance Jr., who was one of five players named to the MWC’s first team along with Williams, Bairstow,

Thames and Nevada’s Deonte Burton, took to Twitter with this observation: “Don’t get me wrong.. Thames had an incredible year! Congrats to him. But I just thought Bairstow was incredible this season.” He later tweeted: “Bairstow deserved POW… Everyone knows that.” MWC defensive player of the year Khem Birch added this via his Twitter account: “Congrats to Thames he killed us both games. But I have Nvr seen anybody ELEVATE there game in a year like bairstow.” Lobos center Alex Kirk was named to the

third team while guard Hugh Greenwood was named MWC honorable mention. San Diego State’s Steve Fisher was named coach of the year for the fourth time. The Lobos (24-6, 15-3) will be the No. 2 seed in the MWC Tournament in Las Vegas, Nev., later this week. Ranked No. 20 in the latest Associated Press Top 25, they will face the winner of Wednesday’s Air Force-Fresno State game Thursday night at 7 p.m. from UNLV’s Thomas and Mack Center.

Jail: Each team will have $133 million cap Continued from Page B-1 just about everybody else, but had no chance of adding free agents of significance. While it’s not the only reason — or even the main reason — the Redskins plummeted to 3-13, it sure didn’t help. Now Washington and Dallas are back on the same playing field as everyone else. The Redskins were docked $18 million each of the last two years — 15 percent less to spend — while the Cowboys’ hit was a more modest $5 million for both 2012 and 2013. Starting Tuesday, they’ll have the same $133 million cap as everyone else when the new NFL year officially begins with the opening of free agency. “All’s well that ends well,” Golston said. “Obviously the money’s there now. We weren’t thinking about this two years ago, but you have a new regime who can go out and pick the players they want to pick.” Coach Mike Shanahan, who had final say over personnel matters, was fired at the end of the season. The buck now stops with general manager Bruce Allen, working with new coach Jay Gruden. Because the league-wide cap rose $10 million, the Redskins are more than $20 million under — even after their decision to slap

an $11.5 million franchise tag on linebacker Brian Orakpo. They’ll likely need every penny. Five defensive starters are set to become unrestricted free agents. They could use two starting safeties, two starting linebackers and upgrades at cornerback, defensive line, offensive line and receiver. Owner Dan Snyder has been known to overpay for big names — Deion Sanders and Albert Haynesworth, just to name two — but the needs are so many that the coffers could dry up quickly if the spending gets too reckless. The Cowboys, meanwhile,

are still in a tight squeeze. They have been trying to restructure defensive end DeMarcus Ware’s deal, which has a $16 million cap hit this year, just to have a modest amount to spend in free agency. Executive vice president Stephen Jones has said it’s unlikely the club will pursue any expensive players. Receiver Miles Austin, whose six-year, $54-million contract signed in 2010 got Dallas into trouble in the first place, is almost certain to be a June 1 cut that would save $5.5 million under the cap. Though the cap penalty has been served, the Redskins will

be stewing about it for years to come. Allen called it a “travesty of fairness.” Dallas owner Jerry Jones was a bit more restrained, but he also claimed his team “followed the rules” and yet was still penalized. Both teams filed a grievance and an arbitrator ruled in favor of the NFL. The lingering debate is whether the punishment fit the crime, assuming there was a crime at all. The Redskins and Cowboys felt they were being clever when they structured contracts to load money into the 2010 year, when there was no salary cap. But the league had warned all teams not to do that. The penalties were announced on the eve of 2012 free agency, the NFL declaring Dallas and Washington had “created an unacceptable risk to future competitive balance.” The Redskins’ free agency plans were thrown into disarray on short notice. Allen, for his part, has never claimed the Redskins were innocent. Instead, he contended the league’s warning didn’t come with such a dire price tag. “We were never warned that they were going to come back two years later and punish us,” he said last year.

Tennis: Vesely, 20, challenging for Murray Continued from Page B-1 Giorgi then broke Sharapova at love before serving out the match, overcoming her 11th double fault to set up match point. Giorgi had 48 unforced errors and 24 winners. “If she can play like that on a consistent basis, she will be a good player,” Sharapova said. Awaiting Giorgi in the fourth round will be fellow Italian Flavia Pennetta, who beat No. 16 seed Sam Stosur 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. American Sloane Stephens was to play Ana Ivanovic, and Tommy Haas took on Kei Nishikori of Japan in night matches. Sharapova had ample opportunities to win the match. Tied 4-all in the third, she was broken when her forehand was called long and Sharapova raised her arms. The chair umpire took the gesture to mean Sharapova was challenging the call, and the call

showed the ball was out. Sharapova argued she was only throwing her arms up as if to ask, “Who made the call?” But the umpire disagreed, and Sharapova retreated to her sideline chair trailing 5-4. She said she heard the out call come from someone in Giorgi’s box rather than the line judge first. “I’m sure it’s the heat of the moment, but I don’t think he had any right to call out the ball before the line judge did,” said Sharapova, who didn’t disagree that the ball was out. Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka routed 29thseeded Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-0, 6-2. Andy Murray outlasted Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-4 in his second straight three-set match, and four-time tourney champion Roger Federer defeated 27thseeded Dmitry Tursunov of

Russia 7-6 (7), 7-6 (2) with an ace on match point. Murray had his hands full playing for the first time against Vesely, who at age 20 is the youngest member of the top 100 of the ATP Tour rankings and was competing in his first Masters 1000 event. Murray had 47 of the 99 unforced errors during the nearly three-hour match in the 80-plus-degree heat of the Southern California desert. The third set featured six service breaks, with Murray taking the last two. “It was that sort of match where at no stage did either of us play well at the same time,” Murray said. “There wasn’t one period where I thought the level of tennis from both of us was high at the same time. That can create a lot of breaks and a lot of sort of back and forth swings in the match.” Vesely staved off two match

points with a pair of winners. But the Czech double-faulted to set up Murray’s third match point and he netted a forehand volley to end his upset bid. Federer has regained some of the momentum that eluded him last year, when he won just one title. Last week, he won the tournament in Dubai with victories against Novak Djokovic and Tomas Berdych. At the Australian Open, the former world No. 1 earned wins over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Murray before losing to Rafael Nadal. “I feel different this year,” Federer said. “Now I feel like I’m in a good place. Zen on the court. Even if I won 6 and 6 today, I just feel like I was calm. Those are the moments where you feel there is confidence around somewhere.” In women’s third round action, top-seeded Li Na defeated Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-4.

Dangers: Delays could be costly, deadly Continued from Page B-1 at slow speeds to cool the engines following their fast laps. It’s going on at the same time as other drivers are speeding along, making their qualifying attempt. “You’re going 200 mph out there, and cars that aren’t even running are running about 40,” grumbled Clint Bowyer. Asked for his opinion, Ryan Newman simply said: “It’s not safe. That’s an easy answer. It’s not safe.” Those were just two of the gripes that came out of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a 1.5-mile track that has enough room on the apron to accommodate the slow cars while the cars whizzing by them making a qualifying run. But NASCAR heads to Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend and the 0.533-mile bullring is incredibly short on the real estate needed

to accommodate cars driving at dramatically different speeds. Vickers said there was a point during qualifying at Las Vegas Friday when he was riding slowly around the bottom of the track and Reed Sorenson sailed past him at a speed difference of 170 mph. “We don’t have impact data on 170-180 mph differential impacts,” he said. “If I hit someone with those speed discrepancies, that’s going to be really bad for everyone.” What more does NASCAR need to hear before officials figure out a solution? True, the system is only two weeks old and there’s yet to be a serious incident. Waiting to see how it develops over the next few weeks is a reckless gamble. After spending much of last year working on a new rules package to improve the quality of racing at superspeedways,

NASCAR vice president of innovation and racing development Gene Stefanyshyn warned before Sunday’s first test at Las Vegas that one race would not be a true indicator of progress. Give it time, he urged, for teams to get a handle on the rules and adjust accordingly before deciding if more work was needed. NASCAR can have all the time it needs to figure out an aero package. Officials don’t have the luxury of taking a wait-and-see approach on what competitors say is a major safety concern. Do they wait for a major accident before they act? A driver injury? NASCAR clearly has something good on its hands with the new knockout format, and drivers have warned that something bad could happen unless a change is made. Why even take the chance?

Six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson had another suggestion, too. At the start of qualifying, cars are being parked on pit road facing in, requiring the drivers to back out when they are ready to make their lap. It makes for a lot of activity in a very short period of time. “That initial roll-out is very sketchy and I think we’re going to start crashing cars just backing out, because you’ve got guys at various angles trying to back out and guys backing out before the clock strikes zero and the track is green,” Johnson said. “We need to clean it up a little. I think the format is awesome. It’s great for the fans, it’s great for the teams, but some of the logistics and flow on pit road could be addressed.” You’ve been warned NASCAR. Don’t wait to see if the drivers are crying wolf.

Love: Darren tries keeping game, family separate Continued from Page B-1 hold, basketball always seems to be close to the heart. When Don died in 2012 — the day after the Blue Griffins won the District 2AA Tournament title — Katherine became a constant presence wherever Dennis went, whether it was practice or at a game or even to go scout other teams. Still, it wasn’t by design. “I’d take her with me to practices to be with us because there wasn’t anybody to leave her with,” Dennis said. “She’d sit and watch her son and grandson and great-grandson. She’d look forward to those late evening practices.” But two days after Prep played Bel Air of El Paso in the Al Armendariz Classic on Dec. 7, 2013, Katherine passed away at the age of 90. The deaths of his parents still impact Dennis, who was overcome with sadness and grief in the locker room after Prep beat Crownpoint 65-53 in the opening round of the AA bracket on Saturday. The next day was the three-month anniversary of her death. Even in the depths in her son’s despair, Katherine has become a galva-

nizing force for the Blue Griffins. “It’s good for us to see that emotion,” D.J. says. “It helps us get inspired and helps us play hard for him. And not only him, but for the team. It shows the trust he has in us. He considers us family and we consider him family.” But Dennis has always seen his basketball teams as an extension of family. He was that way when he started the program at Capital in 1988 and built it into one of the top programs in state before he resigned in 1994. “The families and players that I had at Capital were great,” Dennis says. “When we opened the doors in 1998, we were never given a chance. We were just the second-hand, lonely school out off of Airport Road. We used that and kept it in our minds. The kids played hard and more together than I could have anticipated, but it was a beautiful thing. That is why at Capital High, those were the six best year in my time at Santa Fe Public Schools.” Darren was a part of that time, and he was one of the best players in the state. He was forged that way through tough love from his dad, and D.J. has heard the stories about some of the testier times between the two.

“My dad showed me all the scrapbooks and all the clippings,” D.J. says. “He told me of all the stories about how they would get into it in the locker room and on the way home. He told me it was a good experience. It made him grow, not just as a player, but as a person, too.” Darren admits he wanted to exceed the expectations his dad placed on him, and it is an experience that he cherishes. Yet, he also knew he had to create some breathing room for he and D.J. to be simply father and son, not coach and player. Darren has tried to keep basketball and family separate, which is not the easiest thing to do. “We go and do other things and get our minds off of basketball,” Darren says. “We try to just do some family stuff. And that’s sometimes hard. Even my wife realizes, ‘How do you separate it?’ ” One thing that helps D.J. deal with the demands and expectations that come from being a Casados on the court — which Dennis admits are great — is his laid-back nature. He has accepted a variety of roles, from being a scorer when he was a sophomore to

developing into more of a point guard and a top defender over his last two years, and he relishes in the challenges of them. “I think I’ve handled it well,” D.J. said. “I might not score in double-digits every game, but I play defense and try to spread the ball around. Do the little things that matter.” Those little things amount to a lot for a team trying to secure its first state title. It would also be the first state basketball title for Dennis and Darren, who reached the AAA semifinals in 1993 and 1994 before falling short. While Dennis says he is not consumed with trying to capture that elusive blue trophy, Darren would love to accomplish as a coach what he almost did as a player. “The kids have done fabulously the last years,” Darren says. “The district championships, the undefeated season [in 2AA this year]. It’s still unfinished business. We still want three more games, but we’ve got to win one before we get to three.” That’s because Dennis preaches the “next game” mantra — because that’s the family mantra. Whether you’re a Casados or a Blue Griffin.

STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT As you descend upon the Albuquerque metro area for the next phase of this year’s State Basketball Tournament, here’s a few things to keep in mind before you go: What: New Mexico’s annual high school basketball state tournament for boys and girls of all classifications, formally known as the New Mexico Activities Association’s U.S. Bank State Basketball Championships. When: Tuesday through Saturday Where: Albuquerque (The Pit), Rio Rancho (Santa Ana Star Center) and Bernalillo (Bernalillo High School) Schedule: Complete bracket updates and upcoming matchups are available online through the NMAA’s website, www.nmact. org. You can also follow the tournament’s progress through The New Mexican’s website, www.santafenewmexican.com, and on our Twitter account, @sfnmsports. Tickets: $5-$15, depending on site (The Pit — $15 reserved seating, $10 adults, $5 students/ seniors; Santa Ana Star Center — $10 adults, $5 students/ seniors; Bernalillo High School — $8 adults, $5 students/seniors). Unless sold separately as an all-tournament pass, tickets are general admission and allows the ticketholder to stay in the facility for as many games as he or she chooses. There is, however, no re-entry. Parking: $5 per vehicle at The Pit; no charge for the other sites Tournament passes: The NMAA will stop selling all-tournament seating at The Pit at 3 p.m. Monday (sections D, E and F). Cost is $125 per seat and can be purchased at the NMAA office or by calling 923-3110. Cost includes a complimentary souvenir program. Signage: All fan-held signs must be no larger than 12 inches wide by 12 inches tall. The language on the signs can only be supportive of that fan’s team, not against an opposing team or player. The NMAA reserves the right to confiscate signs if they are too large or offensive in nature. Noisemakers: All are permitted so long as they do not simulate a whistle or a horn. Confetti and ribbons are not permitted. Watching online: The entire tournament is once again being streamed live online at www. proviewnetworks.com and also at www.nfhsnetwork.com/channels/new-mexico. Both sites require a nominal fee. Winner’s trophy: The winning team from each of the 12 tournaments — six classifications on the boys’ side, six on the girls’ — will receive the coveted “blue” trophy. Essentially a stained wood cutout of the state, it is emblazoned with a blue faceplate commemorating the team’s achievement. The runner-up gets a similar trophy, albeit with a red faceplate. No scissors, please: Cutting down the nets is a favorite tradition of championship teams. Except at the state tournament, that is. With 12 title games spread out over two days in The Pit, there simply isn’t enough time to go through the process of letting each team take turns snipping off pieces at each goal. Instead, the winning players are presented with the blue trophy, a championship banner and individual medals.

STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Tuesday, March 11, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

B-5

After 10 years, Capital’s title win still glows brightly I t’s a moment in time Abel Lucero still cherishes, even at the chagrin of his wife. That moment is 10 years in the rearview mirror for Lucero and the rest of the 2004 Capital boys basketball team — when the Jaguars won the school’s only state championship in any sport — but it’s a good time to pop James in the DVD Barron and relive Commentary a seminal moment in the 28-year-old’s life. If only the rest of his family felt that way. “My wife is like, ‘No! Just move on,’ ” Lucero says with a mischievous giggle. “I don’t believe how far we’ve come and how fast time has flown by.” How fast has it flown? Well, Lucero now has a daughter, a family and a mortgage. Bryan Mirabal is a teacher in the Santa Fe Public School district and the varsity assistant for Capital’s girls basketball team. Chris “Bubba” Lamoreux is training to be a police officer. Mike Dominguez — everyone here still affectionately calls him “Mikey,” except in Deming — is an assis-

tant men’s coach at Colorado Mesa, where he played when it was called Mesa State College. Yet, even as time speeds by, the group of 12 Jaguars still remain a close-knit group. Not as tight as they were back then, and the uniforms might fit even tighter, but they still stay in contact. And they sometimes play together.

CLASS A

Escalante’s losses fired up the team By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

The Escalante boys basketball team’s quest for a state championship started in November, when a shot at a different kind of state title slipped from its grasp. When the Lobos transferred their blue-trophy dreams from football to basketball glory after losing to Capitan 40-16 in the semifinals of the Class A playoffs on Nov. 16, 2013, most of the players on this year’s roster were on the gridiron. After winning the A title in 2012, they knew they had the potential to win another title, which made it sting all the more. As the players transitioned from the football field to the hardwood, that loss fueled the desire to add another blue trophy to the Lobos’ cabinet. “At the end of football season, I was pretty disappointed, but at the same time, I wanted basketball to come along since my opportunity for a football state championship was over,” senior wing and football team quarterback Reynaldo Atencio said. “I got that fire and that hunger to kick butt this year and win one more state championship. I think that’s what helped me and the seniors and a few other varsity players.” That desire translated into early success for the basketball team as it started 6-2, but then came another heartbreaking loss. In the semifinals of the Northern Rio Tournament in early January, the Lobos blew a 12-point second-half lead and allowed Peñasco to win the game 63-61 in overtime, giving the Panthers a chance to play McCurdy in the championship. “We never should have lost that game,” senior guard Cody Casados said. “We blew the chance to win the NRG, and it sucks losing so we realized that we hard to start practicing harder — and that’s what we started to do.” That would be the last time the Lobos lost, as they went on a 16-game win streak after that, the latest being a 64-26 decision over No. 12 Floyd in the first round of the Class A State Tournament on Saturday. That win sets them up with No. 4 Dora in a quarterfinal in Bernalillo’s Richard Joseph Kloeppel Gymnasium on Wednesday at 4:45 p.m. Now all of the fifth-seeded Lobos’ attention is on the Coyotes, and a one-game-at-a-time mentality is what caused the them to have a 22-win regular season. But unlike most other teams, the players are the ones who get themselves focused, which

more Eric Coca. “Every time I play with the kids, they are just fun,” Mirabal says. “They want to beat you. And the only one who’s beaten me is Eric.” But these Jaguars are used to winning. They lost only once in the 2003-04 season — to Albuquerque Rio Grande (which advanced to the AAAAA championship game that year) in the third game of the season. What followed was 23 games of pure excellence. Aside from the loss to the Ravens, only four teams were within single digits of Capital all season. The Jaguars machine ran so smoothly because of the chemistry that developed over years of playing club basketball, even though Dominguez lived and played in Española until his junior year. When he transferred from Española Valley to Capital in 2003, Dominguez was shocked at how easily he blended in with the team. “There aren’t many times where someone can come in without having any playing experience with a team at that level and just mesh as well as we did,” Dominguez says. “That was why it was so special — no one cared who had the most points. All that mattered was winning.” But every state championship

makes head coach Bill Russom’s job a lot easier. “They all take it one day at a time,” Russom said. “There is never any mention of the next game. It’s always about the next opponent and these kids tend to focus themselves. It’s a pleasure to see from a coaching standpoint. Those kinds of teams are few and far between.” That single-game focus started when the seniors asked for complete dedication from the rest of the team. “We told the guys, ‘You guys are with us, and if you’re not, we don’t need you,’ ” Atencio said. “Everybody stepped up and played their roles, even the sophomores.” The players help each other stay focused for the next game, but staying focused on every game while also being a teenager can be difficult. What motivates some players when their focus starts to sway is the thought that this might be their last opportunity to be a state champion. “It’s hard, but one thing that helps me stay focused is knowing that I’m not going to play college ball and this is the last time that I’ll ever play basketball competitively,” Casados said. “I know it’s my last chance, so I’m not going to blow it by doing something stupid.” Even while Casados is putting all of his attention on the Coyotes, that football loss still lingers. That taught him a big lesson. “I took it as a learning experience,” Casados said. “I know that looking past a team can really hurt you. If we play Dora the way we played Peñasco, we won’t lose by a couple of points in overtime, we’ll lose big.”

Most of the group played last year in the Ryan Patterson Memorial Tournament — Mirabal, Lucero, Lamoreux, Jeremy Lithgow, Steven Lovato and Jeremy Perez were a part of that team — and took second place. Mirabal still takes pride in the fact that only one Capital player has beaten him in one-on-one games. So, take a bow, sopho-

has one hurdle, and the Deming Wildcats proved to be that in the AAAA championship. Deming took a 17-8 lead and held on to the lead like a hungry badger amid a pack of wolves. They still led 56-49 in the fourth quarter, when Capital summoned a champion’s resolve and outscored Deming 16-4 the rest of the way. But while Capital held the Wildcats to one field goal over the last three minutes and Mirabal forced a pair of jump balls and got a steal, everyone remembers “The Shot.” Dominguez’s 3-pointer he drained from the eye of the Lobos logo on the south side

of Bob King Court in The Pit still resonates today. In fact, an Instagram video of the shot plus the ensuing steal and layup is on Dominguez’s Facebook page. Ten years later, it’s still as spine-chilling as it was on March 13, 2004. Ten years later, the Jaguars still don’t care if “The Shot” is what everybody remembers. “He knew he was going to take that shot, and we knew it, too,” Lovato says. “He knew what he was doing, and it ended up helping us. The team comes first.” And last. And always. Happy 10th anniversary, guys.

My name is Barney. I’m 4 years old and I’m hoping for someone to take me home and love me! I’m full of happy energy and would love to have a companion to hike, jog, play fetch, and snuggle with. I prefer not to share my home with other dogs, and I’m a little fearful of the unpredictable behavior of toddlers, but older children and teenagers would be GREAT company for me. I have very good house manners, and I love to spend time inside with my family. I am neutered and have all my shots and a microchip.

Subject: CARS: ALPHABET SOUP Provide the full words for the abbreviation. (e.g., Mitsubishi RVR. Answer: Recreational Vehicle Runner.)

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 27 years, and I always had a good relationship with my father-in-law. When he divorced for the second time, we offered to let him live rentfree in the guesthouse behind our home. In the past three years, our feelings for him have disintegrated. Dad does absolutely nothing to earn his keep. When he moved in, we bought him a flat-screen TV, gave him furniture and helped decorate. We haven’t asked for money, and he has never offered to lift a finger. Shouldn’t he at least weed his area, clean out his garage and shovel snow around his door? Dad is 73 and in good health. We pay for his electricity, satellite TV and Internet. We gave him one of our cars, and it took a year before he started chipping in on the insurance premiums. He would never think to have the oil changed. The money is not the problem. It’s that Dad is so irresponsible, ungrateful and disrespectful. He walks into my house without knocking and scares me to death. He leaves his cigarette butts in a beer can on my front porch. I have him over for dinner once a week, and he eats like a glutton, devouring all the week’s leftovers. He never reciprocates in any way. I’m sick of his lazy and thoughtless ways, and so is my husband. My father-in-law is completely self-centered, and it is not lost on me why he is twice divorced. What can I do? — Finished with Him Dear Finished: First talk to your husband so the two of you are in agreement about Dad. Then tell Dad what the new rules are and what you expect. We also suggest you lock your doors, put your leftovers in the freezer before he comes over and start charging him rent.

Dear Annie: My parents are compulsive hoarders. They keep everything. They have clothing that hasn’t been worn in 35 years, furniture they no longer use, reference books that are outdated, and stacks of magazines, newspapers and boxes of papers that pose a fire hazard. I would like to give things away and throw things out, but my hands are tied. I am not allowed to sort through any of their junk, because I might “toss something they need.” But I know they’d never begin to find that “something” amidst all the clutter. They do not realize they have a problem, but it’s driving me crazy. What can I do? — Going Insane Dear Going: Your parents may be overwhelmed with the amount of stuff they have accumulated over the years and even embarrassed to have you go through it. Be sympathetic and respectful toward their choices. Ask sweetly whether they would go through just one box with you to see what’s in there that might be worth keeping. If so, you can set aside the things they want, regardless of whether you agree, and get rid of the rest. But if they still refuse or won’t admit that crumbling newspapers can be tossed, try to understand that this type of hoarding is a mental illness and requires professional help. See whether there is a hoarding task force in your area, and also contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for information and referrals. Dear Annie: That letter from “Staying Warm in South Dakota” saved me a service call to my heating contractor. I had not changed the batteries in my digital thermostat in a long time. After changing them this afternoon, my gas heater is now working just fine. No problem. Thanks. — Jesup, Ga.
