By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

The resignation of John Torres Nez earlier this week as chief operating officer of the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts, the group that organizes the annual Santa Fe Indian Market, has caused an uproar on social media, with dozens of Native American artists demanding answers and calling for his return.

Afghan voters brave threats to cast ballots

KABUL, Afghanistan — They huddled in the rain under plastic sheeting. They ignored death threats and rattling firefights. After weeks of violence and tension, Afghan men and women turned out in larger numbers than expected Saturday to choose a new president to lead them into the post-American era in Afghanistan.

Conducted under armed guard, the country’s third presidential election since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001 unfolded without the largescale attacks or major disruptions that many Afghans had feared. As the process now moves to a vote count

In death, the enigmatic loner who let relatively few people into his life has become an iconic figure.

NATION&WORLD PETER MATTHIESSEN, 1927-2014

Acclaimed writer was ‘force of nature’

By Hillel Italie The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Peter Matthiessen, a rich man’s son who spurned a life of leisure and embarked on extraordinary physical and spiritual quests while producing such acclaimed books as The Snow Leopard and At Play in the Fields of the Lord, died Saturday. He was 86.

His publisher Geoff Kloske of Riverhead Books said Matthiessen, who had been diagnosed with leukemia, was ill “for some months.” He died at a hospital near his home on Long Island.

ential literary magazines, and won National Book Awards for The Snow Leopard, his spiritual account of the Himalayas, and for the novel Shadow Country. A leading environmentalist and wilderness writer, he embraced the best and worst that nature could bring him, whether trekking across the Himalayas, parrying sharks in Australia or enduring a hurricane in Antarctica.

He also was a longtime liberal who befriended César Chávez and wrote a defense of Indian activist Leonard Peltier, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, that led to a highly

“Peter was a force of nature, relentlessly curious, persistent, demanding — of himself and others,” his literary agent, Neil Olson, said Peter Matthiessen in a statement.

“But he was also funny, deeply wise and compassionate.”

Few authors could claim such a wide range of achievements. Matthiessen helped found The Paris Review, one of the most influ-

publicized, and unsuccessful, lawsuit by an FBI agent who claimed Matthiessen had defamed him.

In Paradise, which he had expected to be his last novel, will be published next week. The book was inspired by a visit in the 1990s he made to Auschwitz.

Matthiessen became a Zen Buddhist in the 1960s, and was later a Zen priest who met daily with a fellow group of practitioners in a meditation hut that he converted from an old stable.

Matthiessen was born in New York in 1927, the son of Erard A. Matthiessen, a wealthy architect.

In brief U.N. chief vows justice for Central African Republic BANGUI, Central African Republic — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon vowed Saturday that the world would not forget Central African Republic, as he visited the country wracked by sectarian violence that has left thousands dead and forced most of the nation’s Muslims to flee.

Ban’s visit — his first since the bloodshed erupted in December — came just before he goes on to Rwanda to mark the 20th anniversary of the genocide there. The U.N. chief has been among the most vocal of world leaders in calling on countries to prevent a similar tragedy in Central African Republic.

“The international community failed the people of Rwanda 20 years ago. And we are at risk of not doing enough for the people of the CAR today,” Ban told members of a transitional council tasked with preparing the country for elections by February 2015.

“Atrocity crimes are being committed in this country,” he said. “Ethno-religious cleansing is a reality.

Most members of the Muslim minority have fled.”

Rallies in cities across U.S. decrying deportation PHOENIX — Dozens of immigration advocates and supporters are rallying in cities across the country in a renewed effort to push President Barack Obama to put a freeze on deportations.

Organizers of Saturday’s “Day of Action” demonstrations say Obama has the executive power to stop deportations that separate immigrants living in the country illegally from their loved ones.

In Eloy, Ariz., numerous supporters have converged in front of a federal detention center after journeying more than 60 miles from Phoenix.

Organizers say many of those present have relatives who have been inside the facility for more than a year.

In March, Obama asked Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to review enforcement practices to ease his administration’s rate of deportations.

Under Obama’s leadership, almost 2 million people have been removed from the U.S.

A preventable tragedy?

By Gene Johnson The Associated Press

SEATTLE — The warnings could hardly have been clearer. One technical report told of the “potential for a large catastrophic failure” of the 600-foot hillside above a rural neighborhood near Oso, on the Stillaguamish River.

Another noted plainly that it “poses a significant risk to human lives and private property.”

The danger was so apparent that Snohomish County officials mulled buying out the properties of the residents who lived there.

Instead, the county continued to allow the construction of homes nearby. Seven went up even after a significant slide approached the neighborhood in 2006.

Whatever the wisdom of its decision, the county might never be held liable in court for not doing more to protect residents, an outcome that would leave victims of last month’s devastating landslide one fewer avenue for recovering financially for their damages.

Whether government agencies or landowners can be held liable for damages caused by landslides in Washington state is highly

dependent on the facts of each case. Generally, governments are not liable except in narrow circumstances, such as if an agency specifically tells the residents they’re safe before a slide, or if an agency takes it upon itself to fix a hazard but actually makes things worse.

“This is a terrible tragedy and still very fresh. But it is nonetheless my concern that people turn to the government as the insurer of last resort,” said David Bruce, a Seattle lawyer who represents governments in landslide-liability cases. “The fact of the matter is that in the Puget Sound basin and the foothills of the Cascades, there’s a tremendous amount of landslide-prone areas. The government isn’t here to prevent people from suffering natural catastrophes.”

The massive slide northeast of Seattle on March 22 obliterated the hamlet, temporarily blocked the river and wiped out a state highway, entombing dozens of victims in a slurry of mud, logs and debris. Thirty bodies have been found. More than a dozen people remain missing.

Financial losses to homes and property total about $10 million, Gov. Jay Inslee said. A major

Kansas lawmakers OK bill to void local gun rules TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas legislators gave final approval Saturday to a bill that would nullify city and county gun restrictions and ensure that it’s legal across the state to openly carry firearms, a measure the National Rifle Association sees as a model for stripping local officials of their gun-regulating power.

The House approved the legislation, 102-19, a day after the Senate passed it, 37-2. The measure goes next to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. He hasn’t said whether he’ll sign it, but he’s a strong supporter of gun rights and has signed other measures backed by the NRA and the Kansas State Rifle Association.

Kansas law doesn’t expressly forbid the open carrying of firearms, and the attorney general’s office has in the past told local officials that some restrictions are allowed.

disaster declaration from President Barack Obama has cleared the way for help to the victims, but some lost their second homes, which aren’t covered by disaster aid. Homeowners insurance is also unlikely to cover the damage, though such policies might if it is ultimately determined that logging at the top of the hill helped cause the devastation.

It seems all but certain that at least some of the survivors or the estates of victims will sue to recover some of their damages, though such cases can be tough to win, lawyers said.

“I hope there is some recourse,” said Davis Hargrave, a 73-year-old architect from Kirkland who lost his second home. “Were we informed of this danger? No, a very emphatic no.”

Karen Willie, a Seattle attorney who represents victims in landslide cases, said her office has started investigating the myriad issues that could determine whether the county or any uphill landowners — most notably, Grandy Lake Forest Associates LLC, which logged a pie-shaped area of about seven acres at the top of the hill — might be held to account. The state also owns some land near the slide.

BAGHDAD — An explosion in a house west of Baghdad on Saturday killed 17 Iraqi soldiers who had sought cover during a clash with militants, officials said.

The soldiers, part of an army convoy patrolling Albu Hadeed, near Fallujah, were attacked by gunmen from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militant group, security officials said.

During the clash, the officials said, the soldiers left their vehicles and headed for a nearby house to seek cover, but it was booby-trapped, and the explosives blew up as they entered. The gunmen then fired on other soldiers who arrived at the scene to reinforce the original patrol, wounding more than 20 and stealing some of their vehicles.

Hours earlier, Iraqi security forces had killed 20 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant gunmen in Anbar province, the Interior Ministry said.

In another attack Saturday, a car bomber struck an army convoy north of Baghdad, killing three soldiers and wounding five.

The New York Times

Residents of Killeen, Texas, show support for soldiers outside Fort Hood on Friday, in response to the mass shooting Wednesday that resulted in four deaths and multiple injuries.

By Jack Healy, Serge F. Kovaleski and Alan Blinder New York Times News Service

KILLEEN, Texas — Pastor Randall Wallace of the First Baptist Church of Killeen has watched thousands of troops head off to war and then come home to Fort Hood, the mammoth base that shares this patch of Central Texas with an unpretentious jumble of pawn shops, fast-food joints and vinyl-sided bungalows.

“These are heroes,” he reflected, “and yet they have problems. Sometimes, it’s too much alcohol. Sometimes, it’s too much stress. And then they wind up in the crime section, and we’re burying people,” he said in the wake of Wednesday’s shooting spree by a soldier, the second in five years, that left four dead and 16 injured. For a decade, Fort Hood, which rose from cotton and corn farmlands as a training ground for World War II tank destroyers, was like a Grand Central Terminal for waves of troops heading out to Iraq and Afghanistan weekly. Soldiers deployed from this self-contained city, where the streets on the base are named Hell on Wheels Avenue and Tank Destroyer Boulevard.

Then they came back, many in need of counseling.

To many who live or pass through here, this is a primal slice of Americana shaped by patriotism, pride and a shared sense of mission, a company town where the company is the U.S. military and the heroes are ordinary soldiers. It’s the kind of town where the Taiwan Dragon Chinese restaurant, about a mile from the base, places the photos of soldiers — not celebrities — on its walls.

But now the wars are ending and the stress of combat and multiple deployment is being compounded or replaced by new anxieties. The number of soldiers assigned to the base has fallen from highs of more than 50,000, and could continue to shrink. And soldiers, many

of whom had planned to make a career in the military, are looking at an uncertain path. A local nonprofit that works for soldiers’ rights says they are coming in regularly to deal with discharges from the military that have left them with few options for work.

“I don’t know what the future holds for our town,” Killeen’s mayor, Daniel A. Corbin, said.

The base, which sprawls across 340 square miles, has an annual economic impact of roughly $25 billion and a footprint as large as Dallas. About 41,000 soldiers are stationed there, and every day, thousands of civilian workers drive through its gates to work, and veterans head in to exercise at the gym or catch up with old buddies.

“When they talk about Daytona, they talk about racing,” said state Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock, who represents the area. “When they talk about Detroit, they talk about cars.

When they talk about Silicon Valley, they talk about chips.

When they talk about Killeen, they talk about soldiers.”

But they have often been troubled soldiers. The shooting last week brought back sickening memories of the 2009 rampage on the base in which a former Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, killed 13 people.

Experts caution against stigmatizing a generation of soldiers with the actions of a few and note that most troubled soldiers are dangers more to

themselves than to others. But they say demand for mental health services at bases has grown over time.

“Suicide, spousal abuse, sexual assault and mental health problems in general are issues that have come to the forefront in the last decade or so that my Army, in my day, did not see with this level of frequency,” said Sam Floca Jr., 72, who is the honorary colonel of the regiment at Fort Hood, an unofficial title he uses to provide a link between past generations of soldiers and current ones. “It is more acceptable to talk about mental health issues today.”

As the wars dragged on and soldiers returned after multiple punishing deployments, the pain increasingly has been felt at home, though episodes reported to the authorities have receded in recent years. Suicides at Fort Hood hit a peak of 22 in 2010, the largest one-year total on any Army post during the recent wars. Last year, the Lone Star Legal Aid office

recorded 172 military-related family violence cases in a surrounding county, down from 250 in 2010. But law-enforcement officials and advocates said soldiers were still struggling with the transition back.

Fort Hood has placed greater focus on behavioral health issues for soldiers and their families, and runs a Resilience and Restoration Center dedicated to helping soldiers deal with combat stress, anxiety, anger management and other problems on their return. And even some victims of the 2009 still have fond memories of the base that remain unalloyed by the trauma of that day.

Even after she was shot four times in the back in that same hail of gunfire, Pfc. Amber Gadlin stayed on base at Fort Hood for more than a year and a half.

“After a while, people started to feel safe again,” said Gadlin, who left the Army in 2011 and is now a stay-at-home mother in Albuquerque. “People still felt secure.”

A review of court records, mental health evaluations and interviews with more than a dozen people who knew him provide the fullest account yet of Boyd’s journey to that hillside.

It is a story of an array of government agencies, starting with the foster care system and ending with the Albuquerque police, that failed Boyd in multiple ways. It also tells of the isolation, frustration and angst shared by many caught in the throes of mental illness, and how those struggles can sometimes end in tragic ways.

“Instead of getting away from the trouble, he found more,” the Rev. Ralph Di Palma, lead minister for Albuquerque Street Outreach, a Christian ministry for the homeless that had reached out to Boyd, said during a sunset vigil Wednesday, when dozens of people who were strangers to Boyd gathered near the site where he was shot.

Boyd’s cousin, Annie Gardner, as she wept over the phone from her home in Oregon, put it succinctly: “This whole case is a ball of sadness on top of anger.”

A ‘disposable’ life Damaging childhood, mental illness shaped Boyd’s future

A damaging childhood Boyd was born on April 8, 1975, in Portland, Ore., to David and Barbara Boyd. According to mental health evaluations associated with Boyd’s criminal cases, his parents split when he was just a baby.

His mother struggled with alcohol, and his father raised him until age 5, when he went into foster care for the first time. His father later regained custody, but Boyd was awarded to the state again at the age of 10 because his father was a violent alcoholic who lashed him with a rubber hose, kicked him and slammed his head into walls, Boyd told evaluators.

In foster care, Boyd claimed he was repeatedly sexually abused by the people who were supposed to be caring for him.

Gardner, 43, confirmed the grim story her cousin had told his evaluators. Their generation of cousins was tight-knit, in part because they found warmth in each other’s company that scarcely existed in their own homes.

“Our parents had really bad childhoods as well,” Gardner told The New Mexican. “The cycle continued. James, my brother, and I were in and out of foster care as well.”

Some of Gardner’s fondest memories of Boyd, known within his family as “Jamie,” were forged at the bucolic refuge of an aunt’s farm, where the cousins occasionally united. Like the Albuquerque hillside where Boyd retreated from perceived threats decades later, at his aunt’s farm, the volatility of the young cousins’ homes was replaced with carefree snowball fights and romps in a hot tub that are burned into Gardner’s memory, with Boyd’s distinctive giggle as the soundtrack. She remembers him as highly sensitive, affectionate and intelligent with a good sense of humor.

“He wasn’t the kid that was sitting in the corner not talking to anyone,” she said. “He wasn’t that way. That’s what’s so hard for me now. We did have good times, but it was when we were all together collectively, not with our parents.”

Boyd’s mother fights the same demons that haunted him, Gardner said. She has been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic prone to delusions about government conspiracies.

Boyd reunited with his mother in his early teens after his second journey through the Oregon foster care system. She had remarried and was living in Sunspot, N.M., a small community in the Sacramento Mountains east of Alamogordo. She and her second husband, Wayne Jones, had two children — a daughter, Michelle, and a son, Andrew.

“She loved him dearly,” Gardner said, referring to Boyd’s mother. “They had a time when they had to rebuild and forgiveness had to take place. But there’s no question she loved him and always will.”

Boyd’s mother did not return messages requesting an interview.

Prison life, in the grip of mental illness It wasn’t long after Boyd’s arrival in New Mexico, where his stepfather worked as an engineer, that his damaging childhood and mental illness began shaping his future.

“That’s when things really started to fall apart for him,” Gardner said.

“I don’t know if it was that he didn’t have the stability and support of our extended family, but after a few years, it just fell apart.”

Boyd was 15 when he entered the juvenile justice system in New Mexico with a conviction for criminal sexual contact with a minor and indecent exposure. He spent the next two years in homes for juvenile offenders.

Three months after turning 18, Boyd was jailed as an adult for the first time on charges of criminal sexual penetration of a minor and unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon. Those charges ultimately were dismissed, but while he awaited trial, he was charged with attempted escape and assault by a prisoner and other charges for crushing jalapeños and spitting the juice in a jailer’s eyes.

Alamogordo defense lawyer Todd Holmes was hired by Boyd’s family and inherited the case from the Public Defender’s Office after Boyd already had entered a guilty plea and was awaiting sentencing.

A mental health evaluation determined Boyd was competent to stand trial for the crime, but even then Boyd recognized he was in the grip of mental illness and pleaded for help.

“He hopes to be placed on probation in order to receive psychological counseling and vocational training,” the evaluation report submitted to state District Judge Frank K. Wilson said.

Instead, Wilson sentenced Boyd to 10½ years in prison. Boyd served a total of seven years. Multiple appeals to reconsider or reduce his sentence were denied.

“There, the only treatment you really get is from other inmates,” Holmes said. “He was victimized by his parents, by his foster parents and he was probably victimized in prison.

What did we gain as a society by sending him to prison for 10 years? When he walked out of those prison walls, all he had was mental health problems that were exacerbated.”

Gardner said she and Boyd corresponded by letter while he was imprisoned, and the deterioration of his mental health while he was confined was evident to her. She is pained that the judge ignored his plea for mental health treatment.

“He knew he needed help,” she said.

“I was so proud of him for being so honest and talking about his past and his childhood, how difficult that must have been for him. That they said no is flat-out crazy.”

Holmes recognized what a turning point those lost years had been for his client when he next represented Boyd after his release.

“It was a total failure of our system here in New Mexico to treat the mentally ill,” Holmes said. “The answer is not to put them in prison for 10 years without treatment.”

In 2001, he faced a trespassing charge for sneaking onto Holloman Air Force Base with a duffel bag in tow and refusing to leave, insisting that he was there on a matter of national security.

It was during that case that Holmes was introduced to Boyd’s alter ego, Abba Mobus Abaddon, an amalgamation of God and the Hebrew term for a bottomless pit. Throughout the rest of his life, Boyd identified with that alias as his true persona and dismissed the name he was given at birth as the operative name bestowed on him by the CIA. He signed court documents as Abba Mobus Abaddon, told judges to address him by that name, opened a MySpace account under that moniker and told his limited circle of confidantes to refer to him as Abba.

In 2005, Boyd sought to legally change his name to “GOD aka ABBA Mobus Abaddon GOD,” but did not follow through with the action.

Craving freedom from institutions The years after prison were awash in brushes with the law and the state’s mental health system.

The incident at Holloman Air Force Base was followed by a break-in at the FBI office in Las Cruces just a few months later in January 2002. After that came a long list of physical altercations with police, property damage and violent encounters with other people living on the street. On several occasions, he was sent to New Mexico

Behavioral Health Institute in Las Vegas and at least one other clinic for competency evaluations that sometimes lasted up to nine months.

To Holmes, Boyd’s trouble with the law painted a vivid portrait of someone with chronic mental illness, not a career criminal.

In December 2010, he was charged with breaking an Albuquerque police officer’s nose during a scuffle at a public library. Details of that episode are unclear. Albuquerque police declined repeated requests last week to turn over reports of that incident, or of any other incidents involving Boyd. In an email, the department said it would review the requests and respond within 15 days.

But while in jail awaiting on trial on that charge, he was arrested again in March 2011 on charges of smashing windows at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Boyd said he broke the windows because guards refused to serve him his dinner, according to court documents. Once again Boyd found himself committed to the hospital in Las Vegas, and this time stayed for more than a year, though the judge had said he was to be in the “care and custody” of the hospital for a period not to exceed nine months.

The charges in both cases were eventually dropped after mental health evaluations found him to be incompetent but not dangerous, according to court records. In April 2013, while still in the hospital, he filed a federal civil rights lawsuit challenging his confinement. He wanted to be free.

Writing his motions by hand, he pleaded his case in lucid, articulate prose that often then lapsed into delusional references to the Department of Defense, who he believed he worked for, and Las Vegas casinos wanting him to do high-level work for them.

“The DOD has pretty much left this in your ball court (so to speak) as they have refused bond and cash requests for over a year and a half now,” he wrote in one missive to the court. “It may be an attempt to murder me or worse.”

As he bounced between institutions and jail following his release from prison in 2001, Boyd grew increasingly distant from his family, although Gardner said he remained in contact with his mother. He was mum about his family, even when his lawyers tried to collect information about his relatives in order to bail him out of jail.

“He basically told me it was none of my business,” said Robert Work, an Albuquerque public defender who represented Boyd on several occasions.

Separation from family is common among people with severe mental illness, according to Albuquerque Dr. Albert Dugan, who is active in the National Alliance on Mental IllnessNew Mexico, an advocacy organization that speaks up for people with mental illness.

“If you get cancer, people sort of rally around you and you get the support and comfort of people. This disease divides people,” Dugan said. “It drives a wedge between you and the world. You become suspicious of your parents, your minister and everybody around you. It’s an isolating disease.

It’s a curse of an illness. The very nature of the disease drives you away from the people you need the most.”

Coming to terms with his death Years of distance have only made Boyd’s death more difficult to accept, Gardner said. It has only been within the past week that his family has acknowledged that Boyd was the man they saw on the video being gunned down by police.

Originally, relatives dismissed his mother’s calls alerting them that the government had killed her son, according to Gardner. Such claims were a familiar refrain from her bouts with delusion that the family patiently endures without giving them a second thought, she said.

Now, Gardner has seen the video and accepts that her cousin is gone

Boyd: Criminal history involved multiple assaults on police Continued from Page A-4 forever. She’s incensed by what she watched.

“I’m in grief. I’m so sad. You can’t imagine what it’s like to watch your cousin be murdered,” she said. “It doesn’t seem real. It just can’t be. I’m absolutely disgusted. I’m so angry.”

Gardner describes herself as “pro-gun,” and someone who generally sides with police when they are criticized. But she said when Albuquerque police ended their five-hour standoff with Boyd on the hillside with a hail of bullets, it was unnecessary.

“I’m just watching that, and it breaks me,” she sobbed. “It breaks my heart. I’m so sad that they knew who they were dealing with but acted like animals with no regard for human life.

Please tell me those officers are going to be held responsible.”

Dugan shares the opinion that police botched the situation by failing to bring in its best-trained personnel for defusing incidents involving mentally ill subjects. Though police did have some officers with crisis intervention training at the scene, top members of the department’s Crisis Intervention Team acknowledged to mental health advocates, including the Bernalillo County Forensic Intervention Consortium and NAMI-New Mexico, that the four detectives extensively trained in working with mentally ill people and the city’s psychiatrist, who consults with the team, were not present, according to Dugan.

“Why in the hell would you hold a mentally ill man at gunpoint for five hours and not call in the varsity?” Dugan said.

“The first-string negotiators were never involved with this and should have been.”

Albuquerque police did not return phone calls seeking information for this story.

Two of Boyd’s former lawyers, Holmes and John McCall of Albuquerque, said they worry that information about Boyd’s criminal history, which involved multiple instances of assaults on officers over the years, put police on the scene of the standoff in a heightened posture of aggression.

Boyd was undoubtedly tense during the showdown as well, McCall surmised. He said based on Boyd’s experiences, encounters with police usually were the first step toward time in jail, another lengthy mental health hospitalization or physical harm.

‘There has to be another alternative’ Dugan reflected on Boyd’s last stand through Boyd’s eyes, as he was surrounded by police officers with guns trained on him in a place where he sought solitude and peace.

“These clients have fears that are unfounded that lots of people are after them,” Dugan said.

“They perceive that people are dangerous, and they go into the wilderness for refuge … [Boyd] doesn’t have many peaceful or safe days anywhere.”

Through the years: James Boyd is pictured in a series of police mug shots from 2000 to 2010.

Chester Bradford, a security specialist at Albuquerque Rescue Mission, checks people in for the night at the shelter on Wednesday. Bradford knew James Boyd from the shelter. Bradford recalled a prayer that seemed to help Boyd open up. ‘From that time, every time he would come in, he would speak more frequently.’

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO THE NEW MEXICAN

McCall, who represented Boyd on the 2011 charges of breaking the jail windows, said he found Boyd humorous and engaging once he knew he could trust McCall.

“He was just trying to get along,” McCall said. “He was trying to live his life and that’s obviously why he went up to the hills. I would like people to know that side of him, that he was a good person at heart, and he suffered from an obviously debilitating mental illness. This never should’ve happened in this way in my opinion. I’ve seen the video.”

Boyd believed he was working on important Defense Department projects that involved national security, and never talked about his family, McCall said.

“He was very much involved in his work,” McCall said. “That was his primary concern, what he believed that he was doing.

It’s interesting because he believed that he was a patriot. It distinguished him from everybody else because he was doing this undercover work that was of great value to the government.”

McCall said he was concerned about Boyd when Boyd was released from custody after the broken windows case.

“But at the same time, it really bothers me to see a person with a mental health issue locked up and have their freedom deprived under the Constitution in a criminal justice system,” he said. “There just has to be another alternative. There has to be something humane that we as a society can provide for people like this that’s not One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest but a place with green grass and places to exercise and engaging things to do for people who are like Mr. Boyd. That’s where we’re falling down as a society.”

When he wasn’t roaming the streets or camping in the hills, Boyd sometimes stayed at the Albuquerque Rescue Mission.

But workers there say he mostly kept to himself and never caused trouble.

Chester Bradford, who works security at the rescue mission, said Boyd “didn’t say much to anybody,” but a prayer one day inspired him to open up more than usual.

“There are certain times in the day where we do a short devotion for the guests,” Brad-

ford said. “It was one particular devotion, I guess, really spoke to him. He came up to me.

He was like, ‘That was a good word,’ and he thanked me. From that time, every time he would come in, he would speak more frequently.”

Bradford said he walked around the rescue mission in a daze after watching the video of Boyd’s shooting.

“It was a real, real sad moment for me because the last time I had seen him, I just told him, ‘God bless you man. It’s always a blessing to see you,’ ” Bradford recalled. “We shook hands, and I said, ‘See you later, my brother.’ ” Boyd also sought shelter at the Good Shepherd Center across the street, though the last time he stayed there was in August, said Brother Gerald Sullivan of the center. Boyd continued to receive his mail at the center, but he picked it up much less often than others, Sullivan said.

“We’ve talked about him a lot this week,” Sullivan said. “Someone said, ‘I can picture him,’ or something like that. But nobody is coming up and saying, ‘Oh yeah, we used to talk,’ or anything like that.”

Boyd did appear to have at least one close friend, a Jake Martinez of Albuquerque, whom Boyd listed as his next of kin at the center. Martinez declined to be interviewed for this story.

“Though I do seek justice, there is more than a homeless

man being shot,” Martinez said in an email to The New Mexican. “For now, I cannot risk my involvement in the media at this time.”

Boyd’s mother has been in contact with the Office of the Medical Investigator about having her son’s body returned to Oregon, Gardner said. Cost and rounding up the necessary paperwork have proven challenging for Boyd’s mother.

While few knew Boyd while he was alive, his death could have far-reaching effects, McCall said.

“We’ve developed this multitiered society where we treat people like James Boyd as disposable humans,” McCall said.

“I would hope that the people who care about James Boyd now will remember that this could be a positive legacy for this guy who was a forgotten member of our society living on the fringe when he was alive.”

High School Athletic Trainers Connect Athletes With Hospital A

thletic trainers are staples for any high school athletic program, but many people don’t know that at Capital High School and Santa Fe High School, the Athletic Trainers are also associates of CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and the Sports Medicine Program.

“Most students just know us as the person they go to in order to get taped,” said Chris Ramirez, the Athletic Trainer at Santa Fe High School.

But Chris’s role reaches far beyond that. Along with Jeremiah Berryhill, the Athletic Trainer at Capital High School, the two act as liaisons between the high school and the hospital creating access to services when injuries occur to their athletes.

The care is coordinated through the comprehensive Sports Medicine program at CHRISTUS St. Vincent, even integrating the follow-up care after surgery.

“If an athlete needs physical therapy after an injury, or after surgery, the Athletic Trainers can help implement the physical therapist’s treatment plan,” said Dr. Gossum. “This coordination ensures compliance with the treatment plan and also that the exercises are done properly.”

While the practice of having Athletic Trainers onsite is becoming more common, it’s still a unique arrangement – especially in smaller communities.

“This is a service a lot of high schools in the area don’t get to have,” said Jeremiah.

Afghan: Turnout ‘far SWAIA: Dispute over spending alleged beyond’ expectations Continued from Page A-1

Continued from Page A-1 that could take weeks and, potentially, to a second-round runoff, voters and observers expressed relief that the day had ended in relative peace.

“The turnout was far beyond what we had imagined,” said Zia ul-Haq Amarkhail, a senior Afghan election official.

The election brings Afghanistan a step closer to the first peaceful and democratic transfer of power in the modern history of the country, where presidents and kings more often leave dead or deposed.

And for the first time since Sept. 11, 2001, the incoming leader will not be Hamid Karzai. Whoever takes over the presidential palace, however, will face a thriving Taliban insurgency, deeply ingrained government corruption and the need to negotiate a future relationship with the departing United States, which has propped up and paid for the Afghan government and its soldiers and police for a dozen years.

The last time around, in the summer of 2009, when Karzai prevailed in a vote discredited by widespread fraud and low turnout, the first indications on voting day were rather positive, as well. It took some time before complaints started pouring in to understand that the scale of the ballot stuffing and violence had been large enough to change the outcome.

The most obvious early problems in Saturday’s election were that some polling stations appeared to run out of ballots and that in rural areas where the insurgency is strong, many people were too frightened to vote.

Election Day dawned cold and drizzly in Kabul. Residents made their way to ballot boxes in schools and mosques, navigating desolate streets guarded by thousands of police officers and soldiers across the city.

In some locations, the polls opened as much as an hour late, but voters soon assembled in long, orderly lines to drop their ballots in plastic tubs and then dip their fingers in blue ink.

Afghan voters who have lived through decades of war spoke of their hopes for peace, better schools, more jobs.

Using a side entrance reserved for female voters, Zakia Raoufi, a 45-year-old housewife, voted at the same school, where her son graduated three years ago, and Karzai years before that. After she had woken up, washed and prayed, she said goodbye to her children and, for the first time in three days, left the house, where she had been worrying about the neardaily bombings in Kabul ahead of the election.

“I was wondering whether I will come back home alive or not,” she said.

Her son had studied computers and learned English at Habibia High School, but the family had no connections in the government elite and no money to pay bribes for employment, so he moved to Iran and now works as a tailor.

“So this election means a lot to me. What I’m hoping for from the next president is someone to stop the bloodshed in this country, to provide us peace and stability and education and opportunities for our children,” she said.

“We are not afraid of our enemies anymore,” said Anahita Amadyar, 41, who voted with Raoufi.

Before the vote, polling suggested a tight race. Of the eight candidates, the palace and Karzai’s inner circle pushed Zalmay Rassoul, a Frencheducated physician and former

national security adviser and foreign minister. But Abdullah Abdullah, another former foreign minister, and Ashraf Ghani, a former finance minister and World Bank official, attracted large crowds at their rallies. If none of them wins more than 50 percent of the vote, the two top finishers will face off in a second round, which could come next month.

In the last election, Abdullah ultimately dropped out after weeks of political crisis instead of competing in a runoff against Karzai, claiming that the process was too corrupted to be fair. If fraud becomes a theme this time, one key question is whether the candidates will urge their followers into the streets to contest the result.

Over the past two presidential elections here, voter turnout has declined as the insurgency has gained strength. In 2009, after more than 1 million fraudulent votes were thrown out, election observers calculated that, out of more than 15 million registered, about 4.5 million people had voted — about half the number that had gone to the polls in 2004. The Independent Election Commission estimated Saturday evening that about 7 million people voted this time.

Several polling stations reported that so many voters turned up that they ran out of ballots. At the Wazir Akbar Khan mosque in Kabul, not far from the U.S. Embassy, the site shut down once all its 1,800 ballots were used up and voters were told to go elsewhere.

Mohammad Wazir, the head of the polling site, said that under new rules instituted this year in a bid to prevent fraud, sites were not allowed to borrow ballots from nearby locations if they ran out.

Throughout the day, reports of violence came in from the provinces. Interior Minister Omar Daudzai said Saturday afternoon that there had been 140 attacks across the country in the previous 24 hours and that nine police officers, seven soldiers and 89 insurgents had been killed. A Taliban spokesman claimed the movement’s fighters had launched 246 attacks, most of them targeting polling sites, but that number was not confirmed. In Konar province, 16 people, half of them Afghan security forces, were wounded in fighting or explosions, officials said. And in Logar province, four voters were reported wounded in an explosion.

The violence prevented nearly 1,000 polling stations — or about one in six nationwide — from opening, officials said.

There were also attempts at cheating. The Interior Ministry said that at least 14 people, including six government officials, had been arrested for attempted fraud. A woman and three men in Khost province were arrested after being accused of trying to cast 1,067 votes for their preferred candidate.

cultural events, which takes place each August. Yet other artists, while offering support for Torres Nez, say it’s not a good idea to boycott the organization that has helped them make a living, especially when the market is only four months away.

“John is a great leader that many artists respect,” said Darryl Dean Begay, who won “Best of Show” for the 88th annual Indian Market along with his wife, Rebecca. “The board is not making the changes necessary to save SWAIA, and maybe it’s time for something new.

“The board’s current decision to go forward without him will cause division and uncertainty among the artists and the art community,” Begay said.

Two people familiar with the issue said Torres Nez and SWAIA’s board members had disagreements over spending by the organization. Torres Nez declined to comment on the reasons why he resigned. But on Thursday, he wrote on his Facebook profile, “For legal reasons, it is not prudent that I expand beyond my open letter at this particular time. However, I have been moved and truly humbled by the outpouring of support from artists, SWAIA volunteers and supporters, and from tribal leadership.”

In a news release from the organization Friday, SWAIA said Torres Nez “was not forced or coerced into resignation by anyone.”

The resignation came as a surprise to the board, which was notified of Torres Nez’s decision via email March 30, the statement said.

“We want to assure all of you that things are going to continue moving forward,” the release said. “Artists are essential to the success of market. … [And it] will go on.”

Meanwhile, artists have turned to Facebook to show their support of Torres Nez. Following his lead, they are changing their profile pictures to an image for the Rebel Alliance from the movie Star Wars.

The Rebel Alliance is the resistance movement that is trying to restore the ideals of the Old Republic, which are in direct conflict with those of the galaxy-spanning regime, Galactic Empire.

“I was just geeking out,” Torres Nez explained in a phone interview. “Then somebody picked it up and thought it was a major statement.”

Cliff Fragua, a famed sculptor and stone carver from Jemez Pueblo, wrote on Torres Nez’s profile on Thursday, “I’m going to make this my profile pic to show support for John Torres Nez.” Other users made similar comments under the post, while a user named Tonya June Rafael urged, “Revolt!”

Torres Nez’s departure just four months before the annual Indian Market, which draws 175,000 people to downtown Santa Fe every summer, worried some longtime supporters.

Douglas Miles, an Arizonabased artist who has participated in the market for the past

20 years, said Torres Nez was well respected in the art community and his departure from SWAIA is a blow to the market.

“The genius of the current staff under John’s leadership was they were able to balance out the importance of traditional and contemporary art forms,” Miles said. “That to me is really what makes … John Torres Nez extremely important to the future of Native American artists.”

Monty Claw, a Navajo jeweler and artist, uploaded a video to YouTube on Thursday in support of Torres Nez. In the video, he said he hopes the board and Torres Nez come to an agreement because SWAIA has helped him make a living for his family. He warned that the COO’s departure might negatively impact the artists who depend on the income they make from selling their art at the market.

“I wanted to be realistic and mention what the market has done for me,” Claw said in an email. “I’m sure it has done plenty of good for others as well.”

Vernon Haskie, who has been a participant in the market since 1998, said he’s considering not participating because Torres Nez would not be part of the planning.

“For me, John represented security in the market,” he said.

“He had a way of presenting excitement for the market. But now that he’s not there, that leaves a big void.”

But Lyndon Tsosie, a Navajo jeweler and market judge, said that by calling for a boycott, “They’re going to be shooting themselves in the foot.”

“Why should I step on the organization that has helped me send my kids to private school,” he asked. Tsosie added that he

respects Torres Nez, but the artists are “jumping the gun” in criticizing the board of directors.

Stockton Colt, chairman of the board, said he doesn’t know why Torres Nez resigned but would like “to have a dialogue with him.” Colt said “the door is open” if Torres Nez would like to come back, but that it depends on what his thinking is.

Colt said SWAIA has had financial trouble for the past few years and has added some fundraising events to its annual schedule, including a dinner April 12, and this year again obtained a reduction in the workweek and a bank loan to tide it over.

Janet Hoffman, who attended SWAIA’s annual meeting recently when everything was still “copacetic,” said she’s been told that the other eight staffers are taking on additional duties to make up for Torres Nez’s absence. And a number of them, she pointed out, don’t have many markets under their belts.

She’s concerned about reports that several people have threatened to rescind offers of donations for auctions, as well as the decision to cut the SWAIA workweek to four days to save money. “If they were going to do it, I would have expected it to happen between October and April, not four months from market,” she said.

Torres Nez is from Huerfano, a Navajo community in northwestern New Mexico.

He holds a doctorate in ethnic studies and master’s degrees in anthropology and biological sciences from the University of California, Riverside. Prior to joining SWAIA, Torres Nez was the curator for the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, project director with the Navajo Nation

“I have grown great relationships with the city at all levels and Indian Market has run better because of that,” Torres Nez’s letter says. “I am very proud of my work here and I am very saddened that my tenure must come to an end.”

The Santa Fe Indian Market draws more than 1,100 Native artists from the U.S. and Canada, according to the organization’s website. Held for the 92nd time last August, the market attracts 175,000 visitors to Santa Fe from all over the world. This year’s Indian Market is scheduled from Aug. 18 to Aug. 24.

When Torres Nez’s appointment was announced in October 2012, board member Stephen Wall noted, “You don’t bring a rank amateur into Indian Market. And John has been doing this for a number of years. He brings tremendous experience and knowledge, and his temperament. He gets things done in a way that doesn’t cause people any distress.”

Sunday, April 6, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

With heroin use rising across the U.S., The Associated Press queried state health departments, medical examiner’s offices and law enforcement agencies across the nation for statistics related to use, overdoses and treatment to obtain a more detailed picture of the problem on the ground.

While some states reported few changes, others pointed to heroin as a significant public health concern. A look at some statespecific findings: California: The state has seen an increase in heroin addicts seeking treatment since fiscal year 2006-07, as a proportion of addicts seeking treatment for all drugs including alcohol.

Colorado: Heroin deaths are increasing sharply among people in their 20s and 30s, but most age groups are affected.

Connecticut: The state reports 10,183 people admitted for treatment for heroin last year at licensed programs, up from 8,954 in 2012.

Florida: The number of heroinrelated deaths statewide nearly doubled between 2011 and 2012, from 57 to 108, with an increase from 15 to 33 deaths in the Miami area.

Illinois: In DuPage County, the number of heroin deaths stayed in the 20s each year from 2007 through 2011, then rose to 43 in 2012 and 46 last year.

Indiana: Heroin use reported by addicts getting treatment rose from 2.6 percent in 2001 to 6.6 percent in 2010, Louisiana: Heroin overdose deaths rose from five in 2008 to 110 in 2012.

Michigan: Heroin overdose deaths increased from 271 from the four-year period of 19992002 to 728 from 2010-12.

Minnesota: In 1993, 450 people were admitted for treatment for heroin abuse in the state.

That grew to 4,519 for just part of 2013, with final data for that year still being tallied.

Missouri: In 2001, state records listed 18 heroin overdose deaths.

By 2011, the number reached 245.

New Hampshire: In 2013, 68 people died of heroin-related overdoses, compared with 38 the previous year and 16 in 2008.

New Jersey: In 2012, 591 people died of heroin overdoses statewide, up from 443 the previous year.

New York: Heroin and prescription painkiller investigations have doubled in Rockland County northwest of Manhattan, where a bag of heroin can cost as little as $5 and the drug is being abused by people of all ages and income levels.

North Carolina: There were between 40 and 50 heroin deaths a year during the 2000s, then spikes of 77 in 2011 and 148 in 2012.

Ohio: The number of heroinrelated overdose deaths went to 426 in 2011, up from 338 the previous year.

Oregon: Heroin overdose deaths in the state have grown from a couple of dozen a year beginning in 2000 to an average of more than 100 a year for the past five years.

Texas: Heroin deaths increased from 111 in 1999 to 364 in 2011, the last year for which statistics were available, with the biggest jumps among whites and Hispanics.

Vermont: Heroin deaths jumped to 21 in 2013 in Vermont, up from single digits over the previous decade.

Washington: Overdose deaths attributable to heroin have risen from 16 in 1995 to 182 in 2012.

Heroin: Number of users hit 669K in 2012 Ohio, a new law allows a user’s friends or relatives to administer Narcan, on condition that they call 911.

The night before Valentine’s Day, some 250 people filed into a church in Spring Lake Park, Minn. There were moms and dads of addicts, as well as children whose parents brought them in hopes of scaring them away from smack.

From the stage, Dan Douglas gripped a microphone as a photograph appeared overhead on a screen: A woman in the fetal position on a bathroom floor.

Then another: A woman “on the nod” — passed out with drug paraphernalia and a shoe near her face.

“You just don’t win with heroin,” Douglas told the crowd.

“We’ve certainly had our share of deaths,” says Dr. Marcus Romanello, head of the ER. “At least five died that I am acutely aware of … because I personally cared for them.”

NRA takes quest to save gun rights to courts across U.S. Group puts cash into Second Amendment frays, personal battles

By Paul Elias The Associated Press

The San Diego County sheriff denied Edward Peruta a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Christopher Haga’s gun collection was seized, and he was charged with crimes after he was mistakenly linked to a theft of assault weapons from a Fresno-area military base.

The National Rifle Association then lent legal assistance to both men as part of its aggressive legal and political campaign to blunt gun controls across the nation.

Emboldened by a seminal U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2008 that upstanding Americans have the fundamental right to keep guns in their homes, the NRA has involved itself in hundreds of legal cases.

That case “unleashed a torrent of litigation,” said University of California, Los Angeles Law School professor Adam Winkler, a Second Amendment expert.

Many of the cases are either started by the NRA or supported by the organization, which offers financial assistance and legal help to people embroiled in lawsuits

and legal trouble because they own guns.

Winkler said the latest legal battle over the Second Amendment centers on expanding the right to carry guns outside the home, which is why the NRA is representing Peruta and several other gun owners who are challenging restrictions blocking permission to carry concealed firearms in public.

Peruta filed a lawsuit in 2009 after the San Diego County sheriff rejected his application for a concealed-weapons permit because Peruta failed to show he had a “good cause” to carry a gun outside his home. Peruta owns a motocross track in Connecticut, but he and his wife spend many months each year in San Diego living in their recreational vehicle.

Peruta said he wanted permission to carry a gun weapon for protection, but the sheriff and California law said he needed a better reason, such as that his occupation exposes him to robbery.

“I’m not a hunter. I’m not a collector or a target shooter,” Peruta said. “I’m not a gun crazy. But I do want to protect myself.”

After a federal judge refused to toss out the lawsuit in 2010, the NRA took over the case for Peruta.

“The NRA is the 800-pound gorilla in this fight,” he said.

In February, the U.S. 9th Cir-

cuit Court of Appeals, citing the Supreme Court’s 2008 ruling, struck down California’s “good cause” requirement, ruling that selfdefense was a good reason to issue a concealed-weapons permit.

The California attorney general and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence are seeking to overturn that decision.

NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said the group has always involved itself in furthering gun rights in court, but that legal challenges have increased since 2008.

NRA has been involved in “hundreds of cases” and spends “tens of millions” of dollars out of its $300 million annual budget on legal issues, Arulanandam said.

Among the cases is a lawsuit to repeal a Connecticut law that went into effect Monday, requiring a state license to buy rifles. Another is a challenge to New Jersey’s concealed-weapons law. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear two NRA-backed cases. One sought to overturn a federal law barring licensed gun dealers from selling handguns to anyone under 21; the other was a Texas law barring people under 21 from carrying concealed weapons.

The NRA employs about two dozen lawyers and hires many more to do battle in courtrooms across the country.

MY VIEW: JANELLE GARCIA COLE

Albuquerque: A city in search of peace L ast Sunday began as an ordinary day. We were enjoying our time getting things done.

We turned on the TV and saw that there was a peaceful protest happening downtown. We didn’t think much of it. I thought it was great that people were exercising their freedom of speech.

We went about our day. As I was working outside, I heard horns honking and people yelling. I went inside and asked my husband if he knew of any parades happening on Central. We live in the heart of Nob Hill so this was not an unusual thing to hear.

Around 7:30 p.m., my husband said he was hungry. We decided to do takeout. He left and came back very quickly. He said, “World War III is happening on Central.” I said, “What do you mean?” He went to explain that there were riot police all over. The protesters were wearing masks as well. He said he never knew this city had so many police.

We turned on the news and, of course, realized the severity of the situation. I was filled with fear and sadness. I was confused and worried.

Apparently, the protesters were very angry with the police over

the James Boyd killing, after many other shootings involving the Albuquerque Police Department.

The peaceful protest had turned into chaos. This was not the intention of the organizers.

We were very scared being so close to the situation. I was worried about everyone involved. My heart was heavy and I began to pray. This is the first time living in this city that I was terrified. How could things get so bad? Were we safe in our home? So many questions were running through my mind. My family is everything to me, and all I could do was pray

that the protest would end peacefully. I didn’t want anyone hurt on either side.

I pray and hope something positive comes out of this. I am so glad nobody was hurt and my heart goes out to all involved. Changes need to be made so our city can find peace again. I love our city and I am surrounded with such beautiful family and friends. We need to come together and work for humanity, love and peace.

It’s too late to start college union A

union for college football players? It’s too late.

Big-time college sports have been a mess for decades, but establishing a football players’ union won’t fix things. In fact, it will probably lead to more headaches.

A little more than a week ago, a National Labor Relations Board, or NLRB, regional director ruled that players at Northwestern University (where I once attended) are employees of the university and therefore Rob have the right Nikolewski to collectively bargain and Commentary form a union.

The ruling has freaked out the NCAA, which has run major college athletics essentially since the turn of the last century. And while the NCAA is about as lovable as the Vladimir Putin with a toothache, the organization makes some valid points about the shortcomings in the ruling.

At issue, though, is one central question: What do scoring touchdowns or dunking a basketball have to do with higher education?

The answer, essentially, is nothing. But schools and the NCAA have been trying to square that unsquareable circle ever since days when Harvard and Yale, rather than Ohio State and Alabama, were filling stadiums on Saturdays.

One of the arguments the NLRB administrator cited was the fact that the Northwestern football program generated $30.1 million in revenue. The case for paying student-athletes has been around for years and, given the fact that NCAA television contracts are worth more than a billion dollars, it’s a case with some merit.

But if part of the rationale is based on the fact that football and men’s basketball make so much money for schools, does that mean that students who compete in nonrevenue sports (swimming, track and field, golf) can’t unionize?

Further, since most women’s sports don’t make money, does

that mean female athletes cannot unionize? That’s a Title IX lawsuit waiting to happen.

The ruling now goes before the full NLRB in Washington on appeal. In the wake of the decision, some have called on the NCAA to make changes.

Among the suggestions: Paying football and basketball players.

But if you pay them, you’ve gotta pay every athlete, right? But what about paying those on academic scholarships?

One sportswriter called for creating an “athletics major.” See “central question,” above.

The notion that college athletes today are innocent, naïve angels is disingenuous.

The truth is, a lot of college football and basketball players are simply not interested in academics.

They want to play pro ball and go to Big Time U to try to fulfill those dreams.

But, having said that, it’s scandalous that when the vast majority

doesn’t make it, many have no marketable skills.

I’ve always believed a better system could have been established decades ago.

If we had, say, an AT&T Tigers football team rather than the LSU Tigers, we could have dispensed with this whole charade. Players could be paid. Companies would compete for the best high school players and offer them contracts.

Since athletes’ careers are short and injuries potentially devastating, there would be an incentive for companies to lure the best players by offering them, upon the end of their careers, a) jobs with the company, b) free job training at, say, trade schools, or c) four years of tuition paid for at a state university, should the player have the inclination and academic potential.

But that ship has sailed. It’s never going to happen because sports loyalties have already been ingrained by alumni and fans.

The best practical solution,

I think, is this: Offer eight-year scholarships that can run in nonconsecutive years.

That way if Mr. Basketball doesn’t make it in the pros, he can return to school later in life and earn a degree.

But wouldn’t those obligations crowd out potential student enrollment in subsequent years?

Precisely. Such a system would make college administrators think more carefully about handing out athletic scholarships. Right now, there’s no obligation on the part of the school once a jock’s four years are up.

You want to keep your multimillion-dollar program? Fine. But there’s a responsibility — on the parts of the players and the schools — that comes once the games are over.

Watching money taking over political process

T

he Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, and its latest crime that gets rid of the existing law that limited aggregate contributions from an individual to $123,200 during an election season, allows one to give as much money as they want. Finally, millionaires and billionaires will own our political process — whatever happened to “one man, one vote?” We fought hard for this freedom of a few. We now can sit back and watch the drama unfold as billionaires such as the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson spend billions of dollars on right-wing candidates who will in turn surely promise favors of drill, drill, drill, and cut, cut, cut taxes on the rich, while cut, cut, cut our country’s social programs.

B Records, what records?

G

ov. Susana Martinez has been in the news for the past few months because of criticism — and lawsuits — over the way she has handled public records requests. So I’ve been curious about just how many of these requests she gets and who is asking what.

Last September, I requested “a log of all [Inspection of Public Records Act] requests received by the Governor’s Office since Gov. Martinez’s tenure began: Jan. 1, 2011, to this date. Provided that the log includes such information, data provided to The New Mexican should include but not be limited to the date of the request, the name of the requester, a brief description of the request, the status of the request and the date it was or is expected to completed.”

The governor’s records custodian, Pamela Cason, responded on Sept, 24, 2013, that the Governor’s Steve Terrell Office “does not hold any responsive records to your Roundhouse request.”

Roundup The next day, I emailed Cason and Martinez’s spokesman Enrique Knell, saying, “I guess I requested the wrong thing. Obviously you have a system whereby you keep such request[s] — they are all numbered, and you keep track of the dates you have to respond by.

“If it’s not a ‘log,’ what exactly should I request to see all of the IPRAs you receive?”

That was just a couple of days before I went on a two-week vacation. When I returned, there were a few more pressing matters at work, and to be truthful, I let this fall through the proverbial cracks. I didn’t follow up.

But recently, looking through my IPRA file in my email, I noticed that there was no response to that last IPRA. I’ve got to give Knell and Cason the benefit of the doubt: While clearing out all the spam and other useless emails that accumulated during my vacation, it’s possible that I accidentally deleted a response from them.

So on Wednesday, I sent another email to Cason and Knell asking how they keep track of their public records requests and how could I go about inspecting those requests.

After I called Knell on Thursday afternoon about the email I’d sent him the day before, I received this email from him. It’s addressed to me and Cason and copied to Deputy Chief of Staff Scott Darnell.

“Steve pinged me on this again and says he needs an answer for a Sunday column he’s writing.

“How do we want to respond? Another ‘don’t have responsive documents’ response?”

I’m not 100 percent certain that was really meant for me, but OK. But that’s the last I heard from him on this matter. So we still don’t know how the Governor’s Office keeps track of public records requests.

Speaking of government secrecy: Is there a “secret subcommittee” in state government that makes decisions over settlements in huge lawsuits? That’s what Albuquerque lawyer Victor Marshall, representing whistleblower Frank Foy (former chief investment officer of the state’s educational pension fund), said in court filings last week.

This stems from the years-long case over the huge losses the State Investment Council suffered allegedly because of political considerations during the administration of Gov. Bill Richardson. (Disclosure: Marshall has represented this newspaper.)

In a petition to the state Supreme Court, Marshall, wrote that Investment Council member Peter Frank has testified that proposed settlements with some companies originally named as defendants in the various lawsuits were approved by “the secret litigation subcommittee,” which consists of two SIC members and Jessica Hernandez, Gov. Martinez’s legal counsel and deputy chief of staff, but not by the SIC itself.

The settlements, ranged from $50,000 to $500,000, Marshall said.

“According to Mr. Frank, the litigation subcommittee has met 7 or 8 times, operating in complete secrecy, with no published notice of meetings, no published agendas, no open meetings, no notice of executive sessions, and no minutes,” Marshal wrote, “… many public bodies would love to delegate authority to secret subcommittees which would operate without any notice or records.”

In the document, Marshall said this violated the Inspection of Public Records Act and the Open Meetings Act. However, state District Judge Sarah Singleton ruled in February that the settlements didn’t violate either law. The Open Meetings Act “does not require that a decision regarding litigation be made in an open meeting,” she wrote. Singleton also ruled, “There is no evidence of any attempt to shield these settlements from IPRA.” The settlement agreements were publicly filed and there was a public hearing about them, the judge wrote.

The Supreme Court ordered a temporary halt to the proceedings while it reviews the settlements.

Max Coll: A true citizen legislator

T

he death of former State Rep. Max Coll at 82 offers the opportunity to reflect on a different political world. It is hard to imagine someone starting out today as a Roswell conservative and ending up a Santa Fe liberal — harder to imagine that anyone would want to, or that circumstances would allow such an evolution.

Yet, even though his politics changed, Coll became a master of the House of Representatives over his 32 years of service. He mentored such stalwarts as Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, another giant, and was followed in the House by now-state Sen. Peter Wirth. Along his path, Coll never stopped paying attention to the pennies spent by government — he knew they could add up to dollars, and eventually, big money.

As a representative, Coll fought fiercely to ensure government spent public money wisely. First elected in 1966 as a Roswell Republican, he represented that district until 1974, took six years off, went to law school, moved to Santa Fe and then won election again in 1980 in District 47. He served one term as a Republican and then became a Democrat, the party he belonged to until he retired 10 years ago at age 72. As chairman of the Appropriations and Finance Committee from 1987 until his retirement, he was a powerful voice for fiscal responsibility.

Politics was in his blood. His grandfather, James F. Hinkle, served as the Democratic governor of New Mexico from 1923-24, and also served in the Legislature during the territorial period and as a senator. Hinkle and his family came to New Mexico in the late 1800s, while the Coll family came to the state from Illinois in a horse-drawn wagon in the late 1800s and farmed near Artesia.

Coll told columnist Ana Pacheco in a 2010 interview that switching parties was inevitable. “My family are staunch Republicans, so they were pretty disappointed with me.

But I had always been a moderate Republican who was long on environmental and social issues, and the Republican right wing base didn’t like that, so I needed to switch parties if I was going to be effective.” (As a House Memorial pointed out, when Coll changed parties in 1983, his switch broke a 35-35 tie in the House of Representatives. He could count votes, a helpful skill for a successful politician.)

He had a history of tangling with governors of all parties. This item from the 1988 New Mexican is telling. Coll was battling, along with other legislators, with the governor over a $350,000 request from the state Personnel Office to study supposed inequities in the state’s pay system.

Legislators thought a decentralization of the state personnel pay system, supported by Republican Gov. Garry Carruthers, had caused the problems. Coll and others were plenty angry about having to spend money to fix a system that they thought had been working just fine. Carruthers responded, “Max Coll has his curlers on too tight.”

Of course, Coll didn’t need curlers to achieve his curly hair. Those curls were as natural as his generous nature and ability to work the legislative process. His first bill, passed when Republican Gov. David Cargo was in office, helped improve the rights of minority voters. He was known for his support of the environment, economic justice and his efforts to help the disadvantaged. He failed in an attempt, with Rep. Varela back in the 1990s, to introduce a single-payer medical system in New Mexico, but also fought to keep cash reserves high enough for New Mexico to keep a top AAA bond rating. In his last term in office, he battled a governor of his own party — Bill Richardson — to stop the consolidation of executive power. Still, Coll managed to keep funding for art education in schools.

In retirement, Coll spent time running rivers with friends, enjoying nature with his wife, Catherine JoyceColl, traveling and relishing time with his children and grandchildren. When friends, family and legislators gather at 2 p.m. Monday in the Rotunda of the Roundhouse to mark his life, they will mourn. But they also will celebrate a man whose life set a high bar as an example of service and commitment. When Coll decided to leave Southern New Mexico and finish his law degree, we in Santa Fe were fortunate that he chose to move to Northern New Mexico. He made our community better. We will miss him.

COMMENTARY: CHARLES LANE

A health care policy GOP could love

T

he Supreme Court is pondering Hobby Lobby’s argument that Obamacare unlawfully burdens its corporate religious freedom by requiring it to offer employees health insurance coverage for certain forms of contraception.

Hobby Lobby’s case is that the Affordable Care Act confronts it with an impossible choice: paying for contraceptives that its owners’ faith prohibits as abortifacients; violating the employer-insurance mandate at huge legal risk and financial expense; or dropping coverage — which would cost $26 million in federal penalties and contradict the firm’s “desire to provide health benefits for their employees, which is itself religiously motivated,” as Hobby Lobby’s brief to the court puts it.

This argument has strengths and weaknesses, but surely its most audacious suggestion is that the court should give legal weight to Hobby Lobby’s religiously motivated “desire” to provide employees with health insurance — even though the health care law guarantees that workers could still get coverage, through the health care exchanges, if Hobby Lobby declined to provide it.

Sounds to me like Hobby Lobby’s religion requires the company — and only the company — to look out for its employees’ health needs. That sure is a highly specific religious duty.

No doubt Hobby Lobby provides this insurance out of a sincere intent to fulfill that duty. But I’ll bet the federal tax exemption for employer-paid health insurance plays a role, too.

Given that it benefits from this feature of the Internal Revenue Code, Hobby Lobby’s insistence on delivering health insurance to employees in precisely the manner its company conscience dictates

strikes me as not only a matter of principle but also a subtle manifestation of the great American entitlement mentality.

I’ll leave it to the court to sort that out.

The real question is: Why do we have to worry about thorny issues like this in the first place? We wouldn’t have to if nearly 150 million Americans weren’t covered through employer-paid health insurance.

Potential crises of corporate religious conscience are just the latest pitfall of the employer-based system, whose accidental origins lie in World War II wage controls that encouraged companies to compensate employees with health care and other “fringe benefits” instead of cash.

Workers risk losing benefits when they switch employers; the resulting “job lock” reduces labor-market flexibility. And the tax exemption encourages overconsumption of health care, which drives up costs for everyone.

On the surface, Obamacare reinforces the system through such devices as the insurance mandate for large employers such as Hobby Lobby. But in other ways, the 2010 law undermines it, such as by imposing an excise tax that offsets some of the tax subsidy for employer-paid benefits and by creating the exchanges as an alternative source of coverage.

Ezekiel Emanuel, a former top healthcare adviser to President Barack Obama, predicts in a new book that Obamacare’s incentives will cause large employers to cease offering health insurance; Emanuel thinks fewer than 20 percent of privatesector workers will still be getting it in 2025, down from nearly 60 percent now.

From Emanuel’s lips to God’s ears. Of all the reasons to cheer the reported fulfillment of the administration’s 7 million sign-up quota for the exchanges, one of the best is the prospect that this country might develop a robust individual health-

insurance market — ending “job lock” for millions.

If Republicans were thinking straight, they’d be cheering, too. Yes, Obamacare is still very much a work in progress and could flop in a thousand different ways — including from the failure of many enrollees to actually make their insurance payments, as the GOP predicts.

Nevertheless, exchanges, or something like them, would be at the heart of any market-oriented Republican alternative.

Indeed, then-GOP presidential nominee John McCain proposed in 2008 to eliminate the tax exemption for employer-paid benefits and use the savings to subsidize an individual market — albeit with a different and, Democrats said, weaker method of insuring people who have preexisting conditions than the one in Obamacare. Three Republican senators recently offered a similar proposal.

In 2008, Obama attacked McCain’s plan as a tax increase, just as Republicans today are shortsightedly attacking Obamacare’s excise tax on employer-paid benefits, among other things.

Better for Republicans to admit that, for all their current flaws, the exchanges could be the building blocks of a system that breaks the link between coverage and employment — and start offering ways to improve them.

Some on the right concede as much.

As Avik Roy, a health care expert at the conservative Manhattan Institute told John Harwood of The New York Times, “It’s a better world where people shop on their own.”

Sooner or later, the GOP as a whole will have to embrace such arguments.

Maybe after the election.

Chinese bureaucrats targeting dogs

F

or as long as I can recall, a threelegged miniature poodle and her owners have lived several floors above my Shanghai apartment. Despite her disability, she’s much beloved by everyone in my 25-story building, and always elicits coos and smiles in the elevator, or when she’s out strolling with her owners. Who, I’ve often asked myself, could hate this three-legged dog?

Dog-hating Chinese bureaucrats, that’s who. Recently, a group of them — heirs to Cultural Revolution-era laws that banned dogs as bourgeois affectations — sat down in Beijing and established the National Companion Animal Standardization Committee. The goal, as outlined in a brief story syndicated by Xinhua, the state news wire, is to establish strict national guidelines on which animal breeds are suitable as house pets.

Those standards will then be forwarded to China’s National Standardization Management Committee, a body whose work typically concerns standardizing things like electrical transmission grids and Velcro.

Why would they bother? In part, they need to clean up the mess that was created last June when — with no warning — Beijing’s Public Security Bureau announced that dogs taller than 35 cm (13.78 inches) were henceforth banned from the city, along with 41 breeds it designated as dangerous and violent, including collies.

That is, potentially, a lot of dogs. In 2012, Beijing, a city of more than 20 million people, was home to 1 million reg-

The goal of China’s National Companion Animal Standardization Committee is to establish strict national guidelines on which animal breeds are suitable as house pets. istered dogs (and probably many more unregistered ones). What were these dog owners supposed to do with their suddenly outlawed pets? The Public Security Bureau helpfully suggested that the offending pooches be given away to shelters. Beijing’s dog owners, no less committed to their pets than pet owners in the United States, unsurprisingly did not take the advice. Despite making noises about a crackdown, Beijing authorities let the issue fade from public consciousness.

But it did not fade from the consciousness of Chinese regulators determined to devise solutions to issues that only they see as problems. So, on Wednesday, the National Companion Animal Standardization Committee explained it would test various breeds to ascertain how

they measured up in specific categories, including “body-type, disposition, disease resistance, and ease of training.” After that, an analysis will take place and the various breeds will be slotted into categories that include “aggressive dogs, working dogs, active dogs, hunting dogs, sheep dogs” — all supposedly to help families and governments choose pets. “New standards are more scientific and meet actual demands of family dog owners,” explained Wei Haitao, Secretary General of the Committee. In other words: cute and “likes to fetch” are out, disease resistance and body type are in.

Is there room for three-legged poodles (beloved by their neighbors) in this brave new world of scientific pet ownership?

Arguably, yes, if only because the new classification will be by breed and not by any specific physical characteristic.

But it’s not so difficult to imagine the dog classifiers, with their interest in “disease resistance,” taking a dim view of pets that don’t score appropriately on the physical vigor metric.

Whatever the case, governmentmediated pet ownership is unlikely to endear China’s regulators to the country’s millions of dog owners. In fact, it’ll likely just serve to make them seem as they are: out-of-touch meddlers reluctant to let Chinese people enjoy the perks of their hard-earned middle-class lifestyles.

Aamodt deal deadline on Monday

W

hen I came into this position, I promised to work to solve problems, not fight over them.

I have witnessed how data and communication can improve our ability to reduce tension and resolve conflicts. One of those long-standing conflicts is the Aamodt adjudication.

The settlement provides certainty with regard to water rights, preserves the existing uses of pueblo and non-pueblo users alike, and brings 2,500 acre-feet of new wet water to a chronically watershort basin.

In addition, it provides for the construction of a water utility that will deliver treated water to all who wish to connect to it. Just as importantly, hookup to this system is completely voluntary, and if you wish to keep your domestic well, you are entitled to.

Currently the court is reviewing the Aamodt settlement in a process known as inter se. The inter se process is the opportunity for water-rights owners to object to the water rights to be adjudicated to the pueblos as required by the Aamodt Settlement Agreement.

As part of this inter se process, notice

of the Aamodt Settlement Agreement and the proposed Partial Final Judgment and Decree on the Pueblo’s water rights was recently served upon all known water right claimants in the Pojoaque Valley by first-class mail and by publication in the newspaper.

This notice provides that objections must be filed with the United States District Court no later than April 7, 2014. No other dates or deadlines have been established.

The inter se process described by the court also requires that water-rights claimants be given an opportunity to sign on to the Aamodt Settlement Agreement and to make an election regarding their domestic wells. No deadline for filing an acceptance or making an election has yet been set by the court.

To obtain further information about the Aamodt Settlement Agreement, about the process for accepting or objecting to it, and making choices regarding your domestic well, the county has hired Darcy Bushnell at the Utton Transboundary Resources Center of The University of New Mexico School of Law to conduct several public meetings and workshops and schedule office hours in the Pojoaque

Valley. Please call her at the toll-free Water Adjudication Helpline at 877-7758333 or directly at 505-277-0551. Leave your name, phone number and question, and she will attempt to call you back by the next business day.

Additional information regarding the settlement agreement and the court process may be found at the Utton Center’s website, http://uttoncenter.unm.edu/ ombudsman/npt.php; at the county of Santa Fe’s website, www.santafecountynm.gov/county_commissioners/daniel_ mayfield/aamodt_outreach and of course at the state engineer website: www.ose. state.nm.us/legal_ose_aamodt_info.html.

We believe in the importance of providing information to our citizens. I am hopeful that the public meetings that took place and the information available on the resources mentioned above will positively assist New Mexicans’ understanding of their water rights and the Aamodt settlement, including their options and the potential benefits it offers everyone in the valley.

The view on West Alameda, which horses and their riders often cross to get to trails. COURTESY AURELIA VALENTE

MY VIEW: AURELIA VALENTE

Slow down, drivers, horses are crossing M

any people in Santa Fe have horses. They are beautiful animals and very easy to love. They can, however, be easily startled.

Most horse people (equestrians), including myself, love to go on trail rides. Unfortunately, sometimes we have to cross roads to get there. Where there are horse crossings, there are almost always big, yellow signs with a picture of a horse and rider. If it’s a busy road and people don’t pay attention to these signs, it can be very dangerous for the driver, the horse and the equestrian.

The street we have to cross to get to the trails from our stables is West AlamAurelia eda, right Valente outside of the city limits. It’s a very busy street, and sometimes people go much faster than they should. Several times in the past few months, my best friend and I have been stuck on one side of the road waiting for a break in the fastmoving cars so that we could cross, and having to calm our horses.

One incident was in January. My best friend and I had just come back after our trail ride, and we were waiting to cross the road. A truck stopped to let us pass, but then a car drove around this truck very fast, startling both our horses and us.

It happened again in February. Car after car raced past us, none bothering to slow down.

The thing that bothered me the most, though, was that in every single car, the people stared out the window at us, gawking and gaping. We had to wait for over half an hour, while our horses got anxious (my friend even had to go down the hill a little ways to calm hers so he didn’t get startled enough to run off), before someone was

nice enough to slow down and let us on our way.

The third incident that comes to mind was just last month. Crossing over to the trails was great. Someone slowed down right away. We were very grateful and ended up having a nice long trail ride.

When we returned, though, we found ourselves in the same situation we had been in many times before: waiting while cars drove very fast around the bend, none of them slowing down, and none of them stopping.

Horses are big animals that have certain instincts to either run away or fight back.

Sometimes both. If a horse gets startled and we aren’t able to calm him down, he would be able to knock us over or pull away, and bolt. If we are riding, we could fall off. If the horse were to run into the road, a car could hit him, causing both the horse and the driver to be injured. Of course the driver might swerve, avoiding the horse but causing an accident with another car.

We try very hard to keep our horses calm, but horses have minds of their own and it’s a trust relationship. If their trust of you is broken, then they do what they feel they must. It’s the same way with people.

There are very simple ways to avoid these incidents.

First, there are reasons we don’t allow cellphones while driving. It’s so people pay attention and don’t have accidents. Second, always pay attention to horse-crossing signs, and when you see them, drive slowly. Third, please let horses and riders cross first.

It takes a short amount of your time. Last, please don’t drive so fast on West Alameda. There are a lot of people and horses there. It’s not a highway.

Aurelia Valente, 14, is homeschooled in Santa Fe. She and her best friend ride at Nord Stables, Print Farm Road, just off West Alameda Street.

MY VIEW: VICTOR BECK SR. AND NANIBAA BECK

SWAIA should reinstate Torres Nez

W

e are writing in support of John Torrez Nez and his continued work with the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts.

My father, Victor Beck Sr., and I, with many other individuals, were taken aback by the announcement of Mr. Torres Nez’s resignation on March 31. We are concerned for the leadership of the organization and how this resignation affects the future of Santa Fe Indian Market events.

We do not feel that another acting director, appointed director or interim director would provide half the vision and/or insight to the institution as Mr. Torrez Nez offers. He, along with his supportive staff colleagues, is capable of molding an annual market into something each visitor, Native or non-Native, in attendance can relate to and enjoy. I, Nanibaa Beck, experienced Mr. Torres Nez’s positivity and passion to assist Native people and Native arts when I worked as a SWAIA summer associate in 2010. His work ethic coupled with his ability to speak confidently for Native artists impressed me immediately.

For the past six years, Mr. Torres Nez has enabled successful partnerships and created many internal changes that only

help to preserve the organization and its institutional knowledge. He has witnessed a lack of continuity due to the past inadequacies of the organizational structure.

But he continued to work with SWAIA because he, and his colleagues, envisioned creating an event that worked for the common good of everyone.

The board would decrease this level of respect built up by Mr. Torres Nez’s leadership.

What does it say to the public that SWAlA has had to hire four new directors over six years, and then, to have its most promising chief operating officer resign after 18 months? Where is the guidance and focus of the board if this is taking place? SWAIA is the backbone of the Native arts market today, and the Native artists are its focus. Mr. Torres Nez’s vision was to offer the Indian Market as a market that belongs to the people.

My father and I can only imagine that the internal partnerships, necessary within any institution, have become strained due to the financial hardship of producing a world-renowned annual event. Of course, this is our general observation of the organization’s current status. Essentially, each person within the

organization needs to know who, what, when, where and why Indian Market is important. It was to support the culture of Native people first, then to help create a market to promote their artistic works.

Indian Market is built on a complex history that was started by a handful of entrepreneurs and gatekeepers. Today, in its ninth decade, the Indian Market finally had someone who could navigate this sociocultural-political terrain who also had the trust and familiarity of the Native artists.

Mr. Torrez Nez was visible and approachable. My father enjoyed seeing and talking with Mr. Torres Nez at other shows, not just the Santa Fe Indian Market.

Since Mr. Torres Nez’s resignation announcement, my father and I offer John our complete support and none of our condolences. Instead, we feel the board should reconsider his resignation and implement proactive steps to keep him as SWAIA’s chief operating officer.

He is an asset to the institution of SWAIA and the Santa Fe Indian Market.

Victor Beck Sr. is a contemporary jeweler and a Santa Fe Indian Market artist for more than 40 years. Nanibaa Beck is a graduate student and owner of Notabove Jewelry. Both reside in Phoenix.

MY VIEW: JANE DAVIS

Indian Market has lost an essential leader

I

read with sadness and shock at John Torres Nez’s resignation as chief operating officer of the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts and Indian Market. I first met John seven years ago at a lunch meeting at Tecolote. A mutual friend and volunteer with HOPEHOWSE International facilitated the meeting. HH is a nonprofit I founded 20 years ago in Atlanta, based on being of service as a path to peace. We do a lot of work in prisons so no one is forgotten.

We are not political or issue-oriented except to present the human opportunities for change and growth.

When I was 16, my grandparents were attacked in their New York City apartment. We were told my grandfather would not survive the brutality. It was my first experience with violence and forgiveness.

I thought there was something wrong with me that I did not hate this man. I wanted to sit with him and ask, “Why?” He was never caught, and to this day I welcome meeting and collaborating with this similar

approach in human communication.

John is one of those committed souls. In a video he participated in at Indian Market, at the HH booth, he shared how he related to the struggles of those in prison.

We brainstormed about ideas that could benefit Native prisoners. One of the groups that we sponsored in the Penitentiary of New Mexico was the Grey Eagles, a Native self-help group.

What evolved from that meeting of exploration was a friendship, partnership and opportunity to bring hope to Natives who were in prison. With John’s support we began to exhibit in the nonprofit section of Indian Market. This was in Cathedral Park. Our artists and others looked forward to this opportunity.

We did not sell any of the art but instead had an opportunity to share about the people behind the acts that landed them in prison. People visiting our booth were amazed at the creativity of these self-taught artists.

Our bigger vision was to expand to

have a booth in the main section and have a co-op of Native American prison art where we would sell the inmate’s art and also help them grow into their own booths when they got out. This shared vision with John was exciting and filled with hope for so many. It was an answer that would have contributed to the support of artists and also help with them earning money to be independent.

John usually found a sponsor for us to cover the booth cost.

His energy, devotion to Indian Market and steadfast commitment were tangible.

I always marveled at this man and how much he accomplished and yet maintained a quiet demeanor. I never saw him ruffled.

Santa Fe has lost a wonderful man in an important position. The question remains … Why? Jane Davis, LMSW is the founder/director of HOPE-HOWSE International and the founder of Riders of the Sage, an Equine Assisted Therapy program in Santa Fe.

Capital High has plenty to brag about

C

apital High School came in for some serious attention recently in an above-the-fold, front-page story about 20 of its students who hacked into a teacher’s computer account and changed student records (“Capital High suspends 20 seniors for online cheating,” March 25). In the March 30 newspaper, another piece — this one positive — about Capital appeared, this time buried in the local section, about AVID, a model program at Capital that helps prepare kids to go, successfully, to college. There are currently 190 students in that program, recently revalidated as a National Demonstration School for AVID, one of just 120 schools in a network of some 5,000 AVID schools nationwide (“Capital continues to serve as model for AVID,” March 30).

Let me tell you what else is going on at Capital, involving many more than just 20 students. Since 2006, Capital has had a growing program of biomedical studies, leading students to post-secondary education and careers in badly needed health care professions. There is now a curriculum of five rigorous, hands-on, challenging courses, four of which were created for

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: April 6, 1914: Juarez, Mexico — Northern and central Mexico is being thoroughly cleared of Spanish residents by the constitutionalists. The latest news of wholesale expulsion of Spaniards was brought here by General Eulillo Gutierrez, commander of rebel forces in the state of San Luis Potosi. In the state of Zacatecas, where General Panfilo Natera has possession of all territory north of the capital, the same course has been followed. It is estimated that nearly 1,000 Spaniards have been deported from those two states in the last two months. Every consideration has been shown the unfortunate “gachupines” as the Mexicans call the men of Spanish blood. They have been given plenty of time to carry away with them their household effects and other possessions but not one has been permitted to remain inside the rebel lines.

April 6, 1964: Deeds to 260,000 acres of Southern New Mexico public domain valued at $1.4 million were delivered to day to the state of New Mexico by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, completing a 38-year-old exchange program involving equal value state lands with Apache National Forest. Under terms of the exchange, mineral rights to the respective lands were exchanged along with surface values.

April 6, 1989: Motorists caught driving without automobile insurance will face fines of up to $300 under a bill signed Wednesday by the governor. Still, 50 to 60 percent of New Mexico’s motorists are uninsured, state officials estimate.

The price of much of the gasoline sold in Santa Fe has jumped about 10 cents during the past week, apparently because of the March 24 oil spill from an Exxon tanker along Alaska’s southern coast. Willie Trujillo, who leases two Exxon stations, complained that his company is passing the cost of the spill along to consumers. The cleanup is expected to run into the millions.

schools nationwide by the universitylevel organization Project Lead the Way, which provides similarly rigorous training programs for the teachers. The 200-some (again, way more than 20) students in this program don’t cheat. They are cut no slack by their teachers or the program, and they rise to the high bar set. They work closely with medical professionals in the community, especially Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, whose medical staff and administrators open doors for students in a fifth-level course (the Senior Capstone course), through mentorships (in high school and college) and scholarships.

Then there is the growing, strong film program. In state competition this year, Capital film students won first and second prizes in the production of short films.

There are at least five times the number of students in that program as there were caught cheating.

A new course created just this year is musical theater, part of a districtwide, community-supported music program offering all students the opportunity to participate in performance music with the guidance of strong instructors from around the coun-

try. Enthusiastic, hardworking Capital High students, under the leadership of a talented and equally hardworking instructor, will be presenting A Little Shop of Horrors in April as their first production.

It is unfortunate that this school on the move has to endure the poor publicity created by a handful of students. As William Carson lamented in a letter to the editor (“Headline gives wrong idea of school success,” March 30), “I would hope that The New Mexican would support these efforts and not implicitly discredit the district and community members working to improve education in Santa Fe by trying to turn an unfortunate incident into a sensation.”

The real “sensation” here has nothing to do with those 20. It has to do with the hundreds who are honest, hardworking, and future-oriented. Capital is indeed on the move — upward — and I invite members of the community to visit the school and see this phenomenon firsthand.

Restoration plan Happy 100th birthday, Tía Fefa! overemphasizes O logging in Jemez T he Santa Fe National Forest is embarking on an extraordinary effort to restore 170 square miles in the Jemez Mountains. Although well-intended, the proposal is plagued by an agency more focused on reviving a timber industry than healing our forests. To attract logging, the Forest Service plan would allow large, older trees that do not pose a fire hazard and eviscerate hard-won protections for endangered wildlife.

The 10-year restoration project is an ambitious plan that once enjoyed widespread support. It risks losing ours.

Bryan To be fair, Bird the proposal includes some good elements.

More than 100 miles of roads would be decommissioned and closed. That would mean less sediment Charlie Cassagnol in streams and better wildlife habitat. In addition, 120 square miles of forest would benefit from prescribed burning to reduce fire hazard.

There are also 24 miles of stream restoration and beaver re-establishment that will benefit popular, aquatic animals such as the Rio Grande cutthroat trout while making water supplies more resilient to climate change.

But there is far too much emphasis on logging — nearly 50 square miles — and the proposal ignores entirely the veryreal harm of cattle grazing on fire behavior and streams. Any genuine, science-based restoration plan worth its salt would address all of the persistent sources of watershed decline.

There is a very fine line between effective forest thinning and throwing money into the flames, so to speak. The crux is that logging and thinning are only effective during calmer weather conditions and have negative side effects on soils, water quality and habitat as well as carbon storage. Dur-

ing extreme drought and wind conditions, all bets are off — precisely the circumstances that led to the Cerro Grande and Las Conchas fires.

With limited federal money and disputed responsibilities for private properties in fireprone forests, thinning should be laser-focused on where it will make a difference and on the trees that create a hazard.

We can fireproof communities, but we cannot fireproof forests.

Thinning should be concentrated around forest communities and prescribed fire used elsewhere when safe.

With a desire to offset costs by recruiting the logging industry, the Forest Service is tossing out critical wildlife protections and putting big trees on the chopping blocks. After WildEarth Guardians raised alarms, the Santa Fe National Forest added two other alternatives. One would reinstate protections for the Mexican spotted owl and another eliminates construction of temporary roads (roads are associated with human fire ignitions and add pollution to streams and rivers).

We appreciate these concessions in the spirit of collaboration, but the northern goshawk, tassel-eared squirrel and Jemez Mountains salamander will still suffer habitat destruction.

The Jemez River watershed is a crucial source of water for recreation, wildlife and downstream farmers and communities. As with open-heart surgery, this cherished place needs a light and precise touch, not a scorched-earth logging project.

Ecosystem restoration and fuel management objectives can be met without throwing out protections for wildlife and water.

The Forest Service is encouraging public input. A comment period ends April 15, and all the relevant documents are available on the web at http://go.usa. gov/BUVh. Please tell the Forest Service to reinstate all the forest plan’s protections for goshawk, spotted owl and the Jemez Mountains salamander and cut only small-diameter trees.

I-25 Roadway Rehabilitation Work to Start

April 10

Santa Fe – The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) will start roadway rehabilitation work on I-25 from mile post 294.5 to mile post 299.5 north of Santa Fe between Canoncito and Glorieta the week of April 7, 2014. There will be intermittent single lane closures starting on the northbound lanes of I-25 and then moving to the southbound lanes of I-25. Motorists can expect minor delays from 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the work week.

Fisher Sand & Gravel New Mexico, Inc. of Placitas, New Mexico is the contractor for this project.

The Federal Highway Administration and NMDOT have partnered to fund these improvements.

This $4.9 million roadway rehabilitation work is scheduled for completion summer of 2014.

Motorists are urged to proceed through the work zone with caution and observe traffic control signing and reduced speed limits.

Updates about the project will be posted on

ne hundred years ago, the Internet didn’t exist, there was neither television nor computers, gasoline cost way less than 50 cents a gallon, our world was quiet and people actually talked to each other. We didn’t rely on a cellphone to communicate, did we?

So it brings us to April 8, 1914, when a lovely child was born in Santa Fe to Nicholas and Elisa Martinez, whose ancestry goes back to the early 1800s in Santa Fe. On Tuesday, this Santa Fe native will celebrate 100 years of living.

Aunt Josephine “Fefa” Martinez de Quintana, or “Tía Fefa” as we knew her, went to Catholic school all her life until she reached womanhood. Later, she worked for the New Mexico Indian School as a cook for the teacher’s staff. Fefa had a beautiful voice, a second alto. She sang in the St. Anne’s Catholic Church choir for many years along with her sister, Toni Pacheco, who was the soprano and soloist; her niece Doris Jean Luna; and friends, Bernie and Josephine Romero, under Nat Chavez, choir director.

Fefa was a dashing, goodlooking woman who took great pride in her appearance.

The 1930–40s classy look was

fashioned by auntie Fefa, sister Toni, niece Doris Jean and friends. Fancy gorgeous suits, with matching hats, pretty shoes with stockings and gorgeous jewelry just dressed to the “nines,” and of course, Aunt Fefa’s love for Native American Indian jewelry — the “real” turquoise rings, bracelets, concho belts and squash blossom necklaces, yes sir! She was the epitome of class and always smelled so intoxicating with her fragrances and perfumes — not too long ago, she still was wearing White Diamonds by Liz Taylor.

But Fefa was born to travel and explore the other side of the mountain. She was a free spirit and a progressive woman who decided to move on outside the safety of Santa Fe. She and friends moved to Oakland, Calif., in 1945. They quickly found work in the airplane factories working on widgets for the planes. Aunt Fefa’s joyful personality, with her zest for life, drew the attention of many admirers. She was engaged three times before finding the love of her life, Raymond Quintana, whom she married.

They remained together

until his passing.

Later she went to work for a well-known bakery in Berkeley, Calif., known as Langendorf, where she remained until her retirement. But to Aunt Fefa the word retired meant nothing.

She continued dancing, singing and just enjoying life as she knew it. She eventually moved from California to Walsenburg, Colo., to be with her late husband’s family. She was always very close to her grandniece, Deanne Tafoya. Deanne helped tend Auntie Fefa until just recently when Auntie Fefa went to the retirement home for better care at this advanced age of 100. But she refuses to stop. Heck, she is still taking vitamins, exercising and who knows what else.

Well, we do know that the facility is planning a huge birthday celebration for her and will submit this gala event to Good Morning America or The Today Show to share with everyone.

Feliz cumpleaños and happy 100th birthday to our beautiful Aunt Fefa!

T

he Albuquerque Journal editorial on April 3, expressing the need for a state law mandating outpatient treatment for seriously mentally ill persons, while provocative and expressing a widely held point of view, reaches a faulty conclusion. This is especially true when it attempts to link the need for this “Kendra’s Law” approach to the tragedy involving James Boyd.

The editorial correctly points out that mandated outpatient treatment legislation has been considered and rejected several times by the Legislature in recent years. However, nothing in the Boyd situation changes the terms of the debate or the reasons I’ve opposed Kendra’s Law in the past. Nor does it minimize the importance of finding a solution to both the need for more and better mental health resources and the need for Albuquerque Police Department to stop shooting mentally ill people. While it is tempting to see forcing treatment on unwilling citizens as a single answer to two different issues, I actually don’t think it solves either.

To get to the heart of the matter, “mandating” treatment essentially means jailing, or at least threatening to jail someone who has not done anything wrong — yet. If they’ve actually committed a crime, they can be jailed under current law. At least in Bernalillo County, if they are mentally ill, they can receive psychiatric services in jail. The Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque is the largest psychiatric inpatient unit in the state.

If someone is genuinely a threat to themselves or others, we already have well-established commitment procedures.

But it is difficult for a physician to predict the future, so taking that step is not done lightly. Yet this is what Kendra’s Law would require of them. Once a patient proves uncooperative, it means

sending them to jail for the possibility that they might harm themselves or others. APD will continue to arrest (and confront) mentally disturbed individuals who don’t want to be treated. Kendra’s Law could actually increase the number of incidents, not reduce them.

Many families of the mentally ill understandably support Kendra’s Law. But other families and treatment professionals worry that court-ordered treatment will mean a merry-go-round of incarcerations and life outside the law. We simply have not adequately funded support services needed to assist the mentally ill to live outside our new network of mental institutions: our jails.

The reality is that the administration’s actions last year have drastically diminished available behavioral health resources.

And placing all Medicaid dollars for behavioral health under four separate care organizations further complicated an already Byzantine maze that those seeking help must navigate. What New Mexico’s mentally ill population desperately needs is a blueprint for how services will be made available to them. We also need to provide the budget to finance those services to ensure that help is truly accessible. We are dead last among the states in the amount we spend per capita on behavioral health care.

The hopeful fact is that outpatient care is far less expensive than institutional care. Supportive work can help even the most disoriented of individuals to gradually move toward accepting help, including trying different, less-enervating medications. Jailing reluctant patients, if they won’t agree to treatment, will prolong the problem, not solve it. We need more resources, not more laws.

Say no to PNM’s $3 billion proposal

T

he New Mexican carried an opinion piece by a Public Service Co. of New Mexico staffer Dennis Hernandez (My View: “Clean air, reliable, affordable energy all important,” March 30) that extolled the virtues and value of PNM’s proposals to add power generation to replace retired coal-fired generation at the San Juan power station. Let me say that I strongly disagree with the opinions provided.

I became involved in electric issues when I moved here last year and found my marginal power cost was 250 percent more than my previous utility.

I became more involved when I found that the value of PNM stock had increased 400 percent since President Barack Obama took office and was looking to make that 500 percent with a major new rate hike.

Let’s look at that proposal in a few words.

PNM wants to buy more capacity in an old nuclear unit in Arizona. PNM wants to spend $800 million of our money over the life of that plant — put $800 million of our money in Arizona which only gets the facilities. There’s still the cost of the energy and maintenance, nuclear fuel storage and liability.

This expenditure gets PNM 30 percent of the generation capacity needed to replace San Juan. PNM officials propose to replace the rest with purchase of 35-year-old coal generation (paying more than the plant cost originally) and with new gas and solar generation.

Those generation resources would cost about $350 million, but when you add PNM’s proposed profits, interest, and taxes on the profits, you have longterm payments exceeding $700 million for a small amount of solar, old coal, and new gas unit, and this does not include some $50 million in property taxes that would come with all that plant.

Adoption of this plan is madness.

There is a simple option available. It’s an option PNM does not list as an option.

PNM will retire two coalfired plants where coal is burned to make steam to generate power. PNM could, instead of paying millions to decommission unit 3 at San Juan, upgrade that unit by converting it to burn natural gas instead of coal.

That action would cost about $50 million more than decommissioning the unit. And that action would give PNM 10 percent more generation than it is currently proposing even if the unit lost 10 percent of its current output in the conversion.

More generation capacity comes with this proposal. And the net power cost of the output would be less than the PNM proposal. I got this kind of information from PNM’s engineering consultants while I was still involved in the electric industry before my retirement.

More capacity. More generation. Less cost than the PNM proposal — by billions.

Costs of electricity might be slightly higher if, if, natural gas prices were to climb past $7 per mcf. But that seems a stretch.

And if it were to occur, it would mean that investments in wind and solar and conservation would be the best way to meet our energy needs.

So our Public Regulation Commission should look at spending $50 million to upgrade one plant to meet our generation needs. Then we can look at the alternatives to that generation suite as we retire those plants in the decades to come.

And we can do so without having to spend the $3 billion that PNM would have us spend over the lifetime of those assets they propose.

Shane Woolbright is a recent inductee into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame for city and town officials and a 30-year electric utility executive.

e at New Mexicans for Gun Safety want to thank former Mayor David Coss for all he did in the fight for gun violence prevention.

He not only joined Mayors Against Illegal Guns, but he took action both in Santa Fe and New Mexico to stem gun violence.

Mayor Coss never missed a committee hearing for House Bill 77 (the bill that would close the gun-show loophole). He sat with us into the late hours of the night in order to speak in support of the bill. He attended every rally, gave us the use of the Plaza and even co-sponsored a rally at the Capitol asking Gov. Susana Martinez to issue a message in order for the bill to get the vote it deserves.

He courageously stood by a city ordi-

asking Santa Fe citizens to lock up guns.

His support never wavered. He met with New Mexicans for Gun Safety many times.

His counsel on how to move forward in our fight for gun violence prevention in both our city and state was invaluable. We all know that Mayor Coss did a lot for this city, but our guess is that most readers do not know how hard he worked for gun violence prenance to reduce rounds of ammunition in magazine clips. He worked with the Santa Fe vention. But that is who this man is — he is a man of action who does not seek credit or Police Department to create Santa Fe’s first accolades for what he does. Instead, he rolls gun buyback program and collaborated with up his sleeves and gets it done. We will miss New Mexicans for Gun Safety to get a city him and hope to see him back in the public resolution signed for a gun safety program. arena in the not-too-distant future.

Mustang whisperer works to solve horse dilemma Author believes ‘gentling’ method could be key to controlling wild horses on Western rangelands

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

More than two decades ago, a South Dakota ranch hosted 1,500 unadopted mustangs on the first federally approved wild horse sanctuary. Owned by H. Alan Day, the ranch was unique for more than just the horses.

Day, the brother of former Supreme

Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, tried a “gentling” method he had used with wild cattle to get the horses to trust and follow humans. He thinks his experience with the mustangs could help the embattled Bureau of Land Management as the agency struggles to care for thousands of wild horses on drought-stricken Western rangelands and 50,000 more stuck in holding facilities.

The trick is to think more like horses and less like people. In the end, Day said, changing the approach could save the agency money and grief.

Day details the innovative method of working with mustang herds, and his seven decades of life with horses, in a new book, The Horse Lover

Trinity downwinders protest at site of nation’s first nuclear bomb test

S.F. march puts focus on ending child abuse Advocates say they are encouraged by changes

A blast of consequences

By Dennis J. Carroll For The New Mexican

TRINITY SITE eighbors of the site of the first detonation of a nuclear bomb staged their first ever protest outside the gates of the White Sands Missile Range on Saturday, demanding that their cries be heard.

The group is seeking recognition and compensation for decades of illnesses and deaths they believe were caused by radiation from the blast.

Among those who stood with protest placards and wearing Día de los Muertos skull masks was Maria Apodaca de la Rosa, who was born in nearby Carrizozo on July 15, 1945, one day before the detonation of the 21-kiloton atomic device known as The Gadget loudly climaxed the Manhattan Project.

Apodaca de la Rosa said she has been suffering from thyroid disease for 44 years and that her brother died of throat cancer.

“This is not something that is going away,” she said. “The [sicknesses and deaths] keep rolling on.”

The 25 demonstrators greeted many of the hundreds of vehicles that turned off U.S. 380 east of San

Roger Rassmusen stands near the parking lot of ground zero, the site of a 1945 atomic bomb testing. After joining a group from Los Alamos to see the Trinity Site, Rassmusen said he was not interested in going inside. ‘I’ve already been there,’ he told the group. See story below.

Antonio and headed for the Trinity Site’s ground zero, a National Historic landmark, on the only day of the year the Army opens the site to the public — the first Saturday in April.

Until last year, the site also was open to the public on the first Saturday in October.

According to guards at the Stallion Range Gate, by noon at least 1,000 vehicles had passed through the gate bound for the fenced-in site, marked only by a stone obelisk.

Other vehicles, led in a caravan by military police, entered the range’s south gate near Tularosa.

In Los Alamos early Saturday morning, members of Las Mujeres Hablan, a Pueblo nuclear-victim advocacy group, handed out Trinity downwinder information sheets to the 80 people boarding two tour buses chartered by the Los Alamos Historical Society for the trip to Trinity.

The Stallion gate protesters, many of whom recounted the suffering of many family members who died of multiple types of cancers, insisted they were there to remind Americans that although the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, a few weeks after Trinity ended World War II, there were lifelong and serious consequences for the people who lived downwind from the blast.

“The rest of the story is that the U.S. government detonated the bomb at Trinity Site 69 years ago and never looked back,” said Tina Cordova, leader of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. The group is fighting for congressional recognition and compensation for the suffering of hundreds, if not thousands, who lived in the communities and ranches surrounding Trinity and

Roger Rasmussen, then 24, was parked along a mountain path on the lower slopes of the Oscura Mountains east of the Trinity detonation site, waiting with other soldiers, sometimes in the rain, for orders to evacuate any residents in the path of the nuclear cloud. The orders never came.

“Our group was waiting to see which way the cloud would go,” Rasmussen said in an interview.

“The cloud went toward the north

of us, over toward Tularosa.”

That meant his group did not evacuate any people living on the few ranches east of ground zero — or Roger anywhere else — in Rasmussen the early morning hours of July 16, 1945.

“My group leader was over there [near Tularosa], but he never told me much about anything. We didn’t talk about things,” Rasmussen said.

Section editor: Howard Houghton, 986-3015, hhoughton@sfnewmexican.com

Rasmussen, now 93, was one of two participants in the Trinity test who were aboard two Buffalo Tour buses chartered Saturday by the Los Alamos Historical Society for a trip to the Army’s “open house” at the site on the White Sands Missile Range, about 80 miles north of Alamogordo.

The Army now opens the site, a National Historic Landmark, only on the first Saturday in April for public visits. Until last year, it also had been open the first Saturday in October.

The Army has cited costs in its decision to cut back on public visits.

Also on a bus was Jack Aeby, who took the only color photo of the nuclear cloud. He said he snapped the picture on a road about six miles from ground zero. Other photographers were also prepared to take color pictures but the blast set their film on fire, Aeby said.

Rasmussen said he joined the tour to help educate people about what actually happened at the blast site.

About 150 people paid up to $150 each for the nearly 250-mile ride from Los Alamos to Trinity. Hun-

Parents, advocates and others on Saturday descended upon the state Capitol for a march to raise awareness in the fight against child abuse as New Mexico embarks on reforming its troubled child welfare system.

The procession from the Capitol to the Santa Fe Plaza comes just days after Gov. Susana Martinez announced numerous policy changes and directives aimed at keeping abused and neglected children from falling through the cracks.

The governor’s move was in response to what she called the tragic death of Omaree Varela, a 9-year-old Albuquerque boy who police say was kicked to death by his mother. Critics say the system didn’t do enough to protect Varela despite previous reports of abuse.

Organizers of the march acknowledged the case has brought new light to the problem.

The Solace Crisis Treatment Center in Santa Fe has seen a dramatic increase in reported abuse cases since the beginning of the year, Executive Director Maria Jose Rodriguez Cadiz said. In February alone, there were 32 cases reported, marking one of the busiest months for the center in 20 years.

Saturday’s march is part of a nationwide effort in recognition of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, Rodriguez Cadiz said.

Participants wore royal blue shirts and blue ribbons. Some held signs calling for an end to child abuse.

The governor, who was attending a community event on child abuse in Estancia on Saturday, said through a spokesman that everyone in the community shares the responsibility of preventing and stopping abuse.

In Albuquerque, city officials attended a child abuse summit Friday and announced they would be unveiling billboards and bus advertisements to encourage people to report suspected abuse to the state Children, Youth and Families Department hotline.

Advocates say they’re encouraged by the renewed interest in the fight against child abuse, but some state Democratic leaders say Martinez, a Republican, hasn’t done enough to address staffing problems and the overwhelming caseload within the state’s child welfare agency.

Sen. Michael Padilla, an Albuquerque Democrat who grew up in foster homes, said the problems go back decades and the governor’s initiatives “do not even scratch the surface when it comes to improving service delivery.”

One thing he suggested was for the state to increase the number of certified foster homes. The governor’s reforms will require at least four times the number of current foster homes, some of which are now caring for as many as 12 children, he said.

“This department was created over 25 years ago with the absolute best of intentions, and it will take a long-term approach to reforming it,” Padilla said.

Martinez acknowledged during a news conference this week that each state agency involved in protecting children can make improvements.

Funeral services and memorials DOROTHY T. SPRAGUE

DR. JOSEPH M. MAGRATH SANTA FE, N.M. - Dr. Joseph M. Magrath, 85, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family on Tuesday April 1st, 2014. He was born on Nov. 24, 1928, in McCook, Neb., to Catherine (Fox) and Dr. L.A. Magrath.

He graduated with a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1952 from Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, 42 years after his father Dr. Leo Magrath graduated. He married Kathleen Koeller of Arkansas City, Kan. in 1953. Following his graduation, he enrolled in the US Army and was stationed in Philadelphia, Pa. After his discharge he settled in McCook where they owned and operated the Great Plains Animal Hospital.

Hallmarks of his life included personal revelations that hinged on sobriety, spirituality, family, and a concern for others. He was a student of, and worked to embody the values put forth by the Missionaries of Charity founded by Mother Theresa. As a student of the organization, he visited the sisters in Calcutta as well as various locations around the world. He also applied his mind and resources to assist a variety of charitable efforts and he was always willing to listen to a variety of ideas and lend support.

The lessons helped him create many highly personal and deep, long-lasting friendships. Dad had a unique ability to personally connect to a variety of individuals he met on his journey that at times, was the source of both amusement and puzzlement to his family.

He was historically minded and had an affinity for the larger historical events of the world including World War II that claimed the life of his older brother, Barney, the Holocaust, the U.S. Space Program, the Catholic Church, and the settlement of the United States, particularly, The West.

In the early 1990s he relocated to Santa Fe. He lived out his final days at that special, sanctuarylike home as he had always wanted to do.

Survivors include his six children Michael (Tammy) Magrath of Maumelle, Ark., Barney (Sarah) Magrath of Santa Fe, S.

Popular Pecos Canyon areas to open

In brief

The Department of Game and Fish will reopen two popular State Game Commission properties in the Pecos Canyon to anglers and wildlife viewers April 18.

The Bert Clancy and Terrero fishing and recreation areas along N.M. 63 were closed last summer after the Tres Lagunas and Jaroso wildfires because of the possibility of flash floods.

The nearby Mora and Jamie Koch fishing and recreation areas have since reopened.

Anyone accessing these properties is required to have a valid hunting, fishing or trapping license or a Gaining Access into Nature permit. The department

AG fires worker who complained ALBUQUERQUE — A New Mexico Attorney General’s Office employee who complained that his boss wrongfully solicited him for campaign donations has been fired.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that Attorney General Gary King gave notice Friday to his chief government corruption lawyer.

King says Assistant Attorney General Chris Lackmann’s employment will end April 11 and that his office has “good cause” for the firing.

King says his dismissal has nothing to do with his complaint.

In November, Lackmann told the Albuquerque district attorney that King sent invitations to his gubernatorial campaign fundraisers after getting Lackmann’s personal contact information.

Lackmann alleged King violated the state Governmental Conduct Act by asking an employee for money.

King says Lackmann had shown interest in his campaign.

Lackmann says he hasn’t done anything that warrants being fired.

I-25 project at Glorieta to begin The state Department of Transportation plans to begin roadway rehabilitation work on Interstate 25 between Cañoncito and Glorieta this week.

Motorists should expect minor delays from 3 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the workweek due, to intermittent lane closures, starting on the northbound lanes and then moving to the southbound lanes, the agency said in a news release.

The $4.9 million project, funded partly with federal money, is scheduled for completion this summer, the statement said.

Fisher Sand & Gravel New Mexico Inc. of Placitas is the contractor for the project.

Updates will be posted on www.nmroads.com.

S

ixth-grade students from the Santa Fe Girls’ School learned first-hand the art of making pine trasteros last week with an apprenticeship with County Commissioner Miguel Chavez, who taught them how to use traditional woodcarving chisels to carve their designs.

The project also incorporated their skills, requiring precise measurements, calculating with fractions and use of rulers, compasses and protractors.

The class finished 44 carved panels for the trasteros, which the students will raffle off to support next year’s furniture carving project.

The raffle tickets are $25 and

Acequia Madre will be restricted to one lane, between Paseo de Peralta and Garcia Street, as workers do tree work Tuesday, according to a city news release.

Flagmen will be directing traffic during the obstruction, the release states.

The payments will come from the U.S. Forest Service and will include money for special conservation projects on federal lands.

Federal officials say New Mexico’s share will be more than $10 million.

The Forest Service shares a percentage of gross receipts from timber sales, grazing, recreation and other land use fees on national forests with states.

More than a decade ago, Congress revised the program to stabilize payments after large declines in timber sale receipts. Now, the amount of each state’s payment is determined by numerous factors, including how counties decide to share in the payment.

Baby fund seeks advisory council The Santa Fe Baby Fund, an early childhood initiative of the Santa Fe Community Foundation, is seeking volunteers to serve on an advisory council that will advocate for early childhood issues within Santa Fe County.

Anyone can be nominated if they care about early childhood and want to champion the cause of babies and toddlers, an announcement said.

The Baby Fund is a $1.1 million endowment designed to improve child and baby wellbeing in the county.

PNM makes changes to fund ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico’s largest electric provider says it’s making changes to a program that helps lowincome families with their utility bills.

Public Service Company of New Mexico says its shareholders have contributed an additional $500,000 to PNM’s Good Neighbor Fund. That’s in addition to the shareholders’ usual gift of $350,000 each year.

Officials say the money will help reach more customers who can’t afford their electricity bills due to unforeseen emergency circumstances.

PNM also is changing qualification guidelines so that extenuating circumstances can be considered.

Mormon leader outlines church’s opposition to same-sex marriage SALT LAKE CITY — A top Mormon leader reiterated the church’s opposition to gay marriage Saturday during the church’s biannual general conference.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ stance on homosexuality has softened in recent years, but this marks the second consecutive conference in which leaders took time to emphasize the faith’s insistence that marriage should be limited to unions between a man and a woman, as God created.

“While many governments and well-meaning individuals have redefined marriage, the Lord has not,” said Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of

the Twelve. “He designated the purpose of marriage to go far beyond the personal satisfaction and fulfillment of adults, to more importantly, advancing the ideal setting for children to be born, reared and nurtured.”

In the October 2013 church conference, Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum said human laws cannot “make moral what God has declared immoral.”

The church sent a letter to local leaders that includes that message, Andersen said Saturday. “As the world slips away from the Lord’s law of chastity, we do not,” he said.

Blast: No warning given to residents Continued from Page C-1 were sickened by the fallout from the nuclear cloud.

The residents contend they were also made ill by drinking the water and eating the crops and meat from livestock that had been contaminated by the radiation.

“The people in these counties surrounding Trinity have been unknowing, unwilling and uncompensated guinea pigs in the world’s largest science experiment,” Cordova said.

The Trinity downwinders have never been included in the 1990 Radiation Exposure Compensation Act or its amendments over the years that have acknowledged the suffering of the downwinders from subsequent nuclear tests in Nevada and the Pacific islands, as well as uranium miners, and have provided $150,000 in compensation payments to the victims.

A 2010 study of Manhattan Project records by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention adds credence to the residents’ concerns, noting that they were not warned of the detonation, were never evacuated and were never advised to take precautions regarding the radiated food and water sources.

Prompted by the CDC study, the National Cancer Institute is preparing a survey of New Mexicans’ lifestyles at the time of the blast to determine possible Trinity-related health effects on all residents of the state.

Although some people in the vehicles headed for Trinity flipped off the demonstrators as they passed by, others interviewed later as they braved clouds of dust from gusty winds at ground zero expressed concern for the residents, saying they had not know that anyone was made to suffer from the Trinity fallout.

“It’s sad,” said Susan Lee of Albuquerque. “We should write letters to the president or our senators or whoever is responsible.”

Soldier: The ‘blast was loud and bright’ Continued from Page C-1 dreds of others arrived in their own unescorted vehicles or in a military policeled caravan from Tularosa High School. There is no charge to visit ground zero.

Rasmussen said on the day before the detonation, he was in a convoy of military vehicles, mostly what were called six-by-six weapons carriers, that passed from Los Alamos through Santa Fe in the dead of night on their way to the Trinity Site. “I remember winding through Santa Fe on an old highway down around the Plaza and out on the south about 2 a.m.,” Rasmussen said.

He said each soldier only knew his own assignment. “I knew what I was supposed to do … but we didn’t talk about it.” He did say that in the military contingent were three evacuation teams assigned to different areas and communities around the site.

Once at his post near Oscura Peak, now the site of an Air Force anti-missile laser development and testing compound, Rasmussen and his fellow soldiers waited through a rainy day and night for the detonation, which occurred at 5:29 a.m.,

shortly before sunrise.

He remembered that “there was some communication with the people in charge,” and just before the detonation, the soldiers were told to “lay flat on the ground in the dirt … I buried my face in my arms.”

The blast was “very loud and very bright … and it shook the heck out of the ground,” Rasmussen said.

The troops returned to Los Alamos the same day of the detonation, and Rasmussen resumed his lab duties, which included helping to design and build various monitors to be used after the blast.

“Everyone was happy [the detonation] went as scheduled,” Rasmussen said.

And despite all the secrecy, everyone involved in the test figured it had something to do with “a way to get out of the war.”

Shortly after the war, Rasmussen married Jane Keller, an Army WAC who had been the switchboard operator at the Los Alamos lab the day of the detonation. “She was really busy,” Rasmussen said. She died a few years ago and is buried in the National Cemetery in Santa Fe. Rasmussen still lives in Los Alamos.

Wild horses, ranchers battle over turf Advocates say roundups favor cattle over wild herds

By Scott Sonner The Associated Press

RENO, Nev. — Tensions are growing on the range in a turf battle that has been simmering for decades over one of the icons of the American West and scant forage on arid, high desert lands from Nevada to Wyoming.

Wild horse protection advocates say the government is rounding up too many mustangs while allowing livestock to feed at taxpayer expense on the same rangeland scientists say is being overgrazed.

Ranchers say the government refuses to gather enough horses in the herds that double in size every five years while moving to confiscate cattle on lands where their ancestors have operated for more than a century.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management says it’s doing all it can, given an insufficient budget, overflowing holding pens and a distaste for the politically unpopular options of either ending the costly roundups or slaughtering excess horses.

The conflicts are moving fast toward confrontation.

County commissioners in southwest Utah have threatened to take matters into their own hands to round up horses if the Bureau of Land Management won’t. In southern Nevada, a rancher is pledging to do “whatever it takes” to fend off federal agents who are mobilizing to seize his cattle the government says have been trespassing on U.S. land without the required grazing permits for 25 years.

“The BLM is figuring on taking my cattle by force, I guess,” said Cliven Bundy, 67, who estimates as many as 300 federal agents and other personnel had gathered

by Friday in the area surrounding the ranch his family has operated since the 1870s southwest of Mesquite a few miles from the Utah line.

“I’ve tried to stop them for 20 years. I’ve tried to be legal in the courts. I’ve tried to do it politically and through the media.

Now, it’s about down to having to do it as

‘We the people,’ ” he said.

It’s a battle that has raged since the 1980s, when the Sagebrush Rebellion challenged federal ownership of Nevada rangeland that ranchers said was rightfully theirs. The family of the late Wayne Hage is still in court 30 years later in a fight with the federal government over the family’s water and grazing rights north of Tonopah.

During the past 10 years, horse advocates have been more the aggressors, filing dozens of motions seeking injunctions and pursuing lawsuits aimed at blocking roundups they say violate the Wild FreeRoaming Horses and Burro Act, which President Richard Nixon signed into law in 1971. But in recent months, ranchers have again gone back on the attack.

The Nevada Farm Bureau Federation and Nevada Association of Counties filed a lawsuit against the government in U.S. District Court in Reno in December, seeking to force the Bureau of Land Management to step up roundups and, if necessary, sell excess mustangs for slaughter — something they say is allowed under the law but

that federal agency has resisted.

Earlier this week, a federal magistrate judge in Reno granted horse advocates’ request to become a party in that case based on their argument that no one else involved — including the Bureau of Land Management — has the horses’ best interest in mind.

“While the government is presumed to represent the interests of its citizens, the [advocates] have adequately rebutted this presumption,” Judge William Cobb wrote Wednesday in granting the motion by the American Wild Horse Protection Campaign and others who claim the federal agency “favors the interests of cattle grazing.”

In southwest Utah, the Iron County Commission is threatening to gather up hundreds of mustangs themselves, saying the horses threaten livestock and wildlife on rangelands already damaged by drought.

“We will take whatever action we have to take to reduce those numbers immediately,” Commissioner David Miller told the Salt Lake Tribune.

Dilemma: Contraception key to control Continued from Page C-1 (2014, University of Nebraska Press), written with Lynn Wiese Sneyd. He’ll be in Santa Fe and Albuquerque on Friday and Saturday to talk and sign copies of the book.

People have spent more than a century trying to manage wild horses on Western lands.

When a few horses escaped Spanish settlers in the 1500s and were joined over the ensuing decades by horses from other migrants, it wasn’t a big deal. But by the early 1900s, the wild horses were competing with livestock for forage and making ranchers mad. Ranchers and hunters began shooting the wild horses.

Velma B. Johnston, who became known as “Wild Horse Annie,” spent decades lobbying to save wild horses and burros.

Congress passed a law in 1959 to stop people from hunting them. But it took until 1971 for Congress to pass a law requiring them to be managed and protected on BLM land.

Congress left it to the BLM to figure out how to keep the range healthy for horses, livestock and wildlife, and keep all the ranchers and wild horse advocates happy.

Without predators, the herd sizes grew rapidly. The BLM rounded up horses periodically to reduce the herd sizes and offered the mustangs for adoption at low prices. Some of the mustangs rounded up were crippled, old or ugly — not the kind people wanted to adopt.

More and more unwanted horses ended up in BLM longterm holding pastures, where the agency is obligated to care for them until they die. The tough little mustangs often live into their 30s.

The agency has used helicopters to round up the wild horses, angering wild horse advocates because the method frightens the mustangs and has injured some. But the agency contends many of the 179 wild horse management areas the BLM oversees are huge swaths of rugged land, and options for rounding up the horses are limited.

Drought and the high cost of feed, coupled with the economic downturn in 2008, have reduced the number of people who adopt the wild horses.

Less than half the number of wild horses were adopted last year compared to prior years.

The agency has tried using contraceptive shots on the mares to maintain herd levels.

But so far, none of the contraceptives has lasted more than

H. Alan Day and fellow rancher Dayton Hyde launched the Institute of Range and the American Mustang and lobbied Congress in 1988 to host the first wild horse sanctuary.

a year, which means rounding the horses up again, often with helicopters.

“There’s no quick fix,” said Tom Gorey, spokesman for the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program. “There’s no magical solution waiting to be had or waiting in the wings. We wish there were. We wish there was a fertility control method that would resolve things.”

In February, The Associated Press obtained an internal BLM memo written months before

by Joan Guilfoyle, head of the Wild Horse and Burro Division, in which she warns the $70 million program is “headed to disaster.”

Guilfoyle recommended suspending wild horse roundups until the thousands in holding facilities could be adopted or sold. In the memo, Guilfoyle said the program was “nearing the point of financial insolvency due to undesirable trends in every aspect.”

Putting horses down out on the range isn’t on the table, Gorey said. “Congress doesn’t have the stomach for it and the public doesn’t have the stomach for it. And we don’t want to do it,” he said.

But, Gorey acknowledged, “we’re in a tough situation and Congress needs to be involved.

People with constructive ideas need to be involved.”

Day thinks the success he and fellow rancher Dayton Hyde had with the mustangs on their ranches from 1988 to 1993 is one good idea.

Day had successfully taught wild cattle at the Day family’s Lazy B Ranch in Arizona to bunch together and follow the lead of a single rider from pasture to pasture.

“A typical cowboy’s answer to working with wild cattle is to get a faster horse. I decided no, lets work with them differently,” Day said.

Day thought a similar approach could work with wild horses and set out to prove it. Day and Hyde formed the Institute of Range and the American Mustang shortly after Day bought a 35,000-acre ranch in South Dakota. The two men lobbied the BLM and Congress for a four-year contract to establish a wild horse sanctuary at Mustang Meadows Ranch.

“What happens when government chases them all over with helicopters or whatever is they run like hell. That’s what we’ve taught them,” Day said.

“We wanted to teach them with gentle slow action and kind words that we weren’t trying to scare them or hurt them.”

It took as much training to change his cowboys’ approach to working with the horses as it did to change the horses minds about people.

But, Day said, it worked.

Within a month, it took only two to three riders — one in front and a couple behind — to move the horses from pasture to pasture or even lead them into chutes where they could be vaccinated and treated.

The horses weren’t broken.

They weren’t rideable. But they were cooperative. Day’s method is basically the same

“horse whispering” technique used by a lot of trainers today, but he just applied it to a whole lot of horses at once.

The 50,000 unwanted horses sitting in BLM holding pens are a problem that isn’t going anywhere, Day said. The trick is not to keep adding to them.

“Why not focus on the other end of the problem? If we slowed the baby factory down to where we would get zero population growth, then we’re working on the proper end,” Day said.

Since contraceptives only work for a limited time, what if the horses could be brought willingly with a few riders to pens each year “and quietly given birth control” until longer-lasting treatments came along, Day said.

It takes a person willing to insert themselves into the natural hierarchy of a horse herd.

For centuries, horses have followed a system. A lead stallion calls the shots. A lead mare is the drill sergeant who gets the herd to go, he said. So a person who is accepted as the alpha in the herd, can get them to follow him.

“Each wild horse area would have one person to work with the herd and that person would become responsible for the land and those horses. They would manage the horses with the land as an inseparable duo,” he said. “It would be a great career.”

For BLM, it would mean gathering the wild horses one more time by helicopter. “Then they would leave them in the corral with the person and with feed so the person can work with them long enough to become the horses’ friend.”

The person assigned to the herd would become their alpha, checking on them, moving them to different areas within the management area, and bringing them in for their contraceptives.

Done right, the helicopters would disappear and eventually the 50,000 mustangs in holding pens would diminish as they grew old and died.

“The savings, millions of dollars, in not feeding excess horses and not using helicopters, would more than pay for the whole program,” Day said.

His dream is to offer this method as a college course, teaching people how to work within the wild horse hiearchy.

A wedding cake becomes a cause Both sides in gay marriage culture war seize on symbolic confection LAKEWOOD, Colo. — The encounter at Jack Phillips’ Masterpiece Cakeshop lasted less than a minute.

Phillips stepped out from behind the counter in his small, pastry-crammed shop to meet customers Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins. They told him they wanted a cake to celebrate their own marriage.

Phillips replied he couldn’t, but that he’d be glad to make one for other occasions, such as birthdays. Left unsaid was how making a gay wedding cake would violate his Christian faith, how he does not make cakes for Halloween or bachelor parties, either.

Craig and Mullins left the shop, stunned.

Left unsaid was how they viewed themselves as a regular couple, their wedding a private celebration, not a political statement. They simply wanted a no-frills cake.

Crushed, they posted a note about the encounter on Facebook, and soon the cake had become a cause, with the sides becoming stand-ins for the culture wars: Phillips was the intolerant business owner.

The couple became the gay rights activists pushing their agenda.

It was one of several incidents that inspired legislation in at least 11 states that would have allowed business owners to cite their religious beliefs in denying service to patrons. Most have died amid a national outcry that they would legalize discrimination. Along the way, the stories of those caught up in the clash over fastchanging social mores can get lost. Phillips, Craig and Mullins are just three.

Phillips, 57, grew up near the teeming strip mall that houses his bakery in Lakewood, on the edge of Denver’s suburban sprawl. After graduating high school, Phillips went to work at a bakery and found he enjoyed the adrenaline kick and sense of achievement that came from catching doughnuts as they came off the conveyor belt and glazing and sprinkling them.

Nowadays, he loves his work for the way it lets him improve people’s lives. “That’s,” he said, “what Christ does.”

Phillips grew up in a religious household, but in his early 20s he felt adrift. He drank and fathered two children with his girlfriend, Debbie. As he was driving one day, he felt something extraordinary. “The Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin,” he recalled.

Shaken, he told Debbie that night he had found Christ. She said the same had just happened to her. They married and had a third child.

Eventually, Phillips started his own shop, serving residents of the new housing developments that were rising nearby.

His daughter and 87-year-old mother also work there now. From the start, he knew there’d be limitations on what he could do. “In everything I do, I think about how people will perceive Christ through me, by

what I sell, what I make,” Phillips said.

The display cases bulge with cakes of every color. One depicted a trio of crosses on a hill, with the words “He Has Risen.”

Phillips takes his cake-making personally.

As he prepares a cake for a child’s first birthday, Phillips makes a separate cupcake-sized piece to be placed on the kid’s high chair, envisioning the moment the tot will dig into it, smearing frosting across his or her face.

For weddings, he interviews the couple to find out how they met, their mutual interests, what color dresses the bridesmaids will wear. “When I decorate a cake, I feel like I’m part of the party,” said Phillips, who had refused previous orders for cakes for gay weddings.

Phillips said he once employed a gay man in his bakery and makes regular birthday cakes for a lesbian couple. His youngest daughter, Lisa Eldfrick, 34, said Phillips never had problems with her and her siblings’ various gay friends.

Since Mullins and Craig visited in July 2012, gay marriage has been legalized in nine states. Polls show that a majority of Americans now approve of it. Phillips is unruffled. “The Bible says it’s going to happen,” he said. “This is a sign we don’t acknowledge Him as our Creator.”

When Mullins and Craig were growing up, gay marriage was a foreign concept.

Craig, 34, grew up in a Wyoming town where he was viciously teased, even as he tried to deny his sexuality by dating girls.

He graduated high school the year Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student, was killed because of his orientation.

Craig said he still feels awkward if Mullins holds hands with him in public. “I feel like

something bad could happen to us,” he said in their new townhouse in Denver, posters of Radiohead and Bjork on the walls.

Mullins, 29, grew up in Colorado at a time when voters passed a ballot measure to prevent any city from passing protections for gays. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the measure, laying the legal groundwork for gay marriage rulings nearly 20 years later.

The couple met in Denver through a mutual friend. A 2006 ballot measure outlawed gay marriages in Colorado, so they planned a small wedding in Massachusetts, where it was legal. That would be followed by a larger reception in Colorado.

The Lakewood restaurant hosting the reception suggested they get their cake at Masterpiece. They took Craig’s mother, visiting from Wyoming, to the shop to help pick a cake. “We wanted this just to be about us,” Mullins said. The couple said Phillips’ rejection was more painful than the times they have been slurred in public.

“It’s like the institution and society are saying: ‘You’re not equal,’ ” Mullins said.

Within minutes of his Facebook post about the encounter, supportive messages began arriving in Mullins’ account — and Phillips’ shop was deluged with angry emails and phone calls.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint on the couple’s behalf.

Phillips’ attorney argued, unsuccessfully, that the cake was a form of political speech. A judge in December ruled Phillips violated state law that forbids refusal of service based on sexual orientation, and ordered him to make the cake or pay a fine.

country, Brown among them, find themselves uncomfortably at odds with their own base.

Even with Democrats and younger voters leading the wave of the pro-legalization shift, these governors are standing back, supporting much more limited proposals. While 17 more states — most of them leaning Democratic — have

seen bills introduced this year to follow Colorado and Washington in approving recreational marijuana, no sitting governor or member of the Senate has offered a full-out endorsement of legalization. Only Gov. Peter Shumlin, a Democrat in Vermont, which is struggling with a heroin problem, said he was open to the idea.

Democratic govs. resist call for legal pot LOS ANGELES — California voters strongly favor legalizing marijuana. The state Democratic Party adopted a platform last month urging California to follow Colorado and Washington in ending marijuana prohibition. The state’s lieutenant governor, Gavin Newsom, has called for legalizing the drug.

But not Gov. Jerry Brown. “I think we ought to kind of watch and see how things go in Colorado,” Brown, a Democrat, said curtly when asked the question as he was presenting his state budget this year.

At a time of rapidly evolving attitudes toward marijuana legalization — a slight majority of Americans now support legalizing the drug — Democratic governors across the

YOUR NEIGHBORS: MISS RODEO NEW MEXICO

Rodeo royalty Alexandria Tapia is city’s first cowgirl to hold crown since 1969

By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

S

anta Fe native Alexandria Tapia recently began her yearlong reign as Miss Rodeo New Mexico — and she’s the first Santa Fean to hold the title since 1969, when Patricia Eaves, daughter of the late Eaves Movie Ranch owner J.W. Eaves, wore the sash and crown.

Tapia won the title at a pageant held during Pioneer Days in Clovis last June, but she was a “Lady in Waiting” until January.

“Sadly,” she said, she was the only candidate to compete for the post this year, but she was still “held to the exact same standards” she would have been held to if she’d had competitors.

“If they don’t have a qualified candidate, they just won’t have one,” Tapia said. “One of my biggest goals is to encourage more young women to participate in these kind of events because they are such a great opportunity, and I’ve learned so many skills from it and met so many amazing and incredible people.”

The 24-year-old — who has bachelor’s degrees in government and history and has held other rodeo royalty titles, including Rodeo de Santa Fe princess and Rodeo de Galisteo queen — said competing without competitors creates “kind of a weird feeling” because you can’t measure your performance against someone else’s.

The criteria for becoming Miss Rodeo New Mexico are similar to the criteria for other types of pageants, but there are some key differences, Tapia said. For instance, there’s no swimsuit portion of the contest, and looks aren’t the most important factor.

Candidates are judged on personality, appearance and horsemanship and are expected to demonstrate a working knowledge of the sport of rodeo as well as current events during the interview portion of the pageant.

“It’s not a beauty pageant by any means,” Tapia said. “Appearance is being able to put yourself together, attention to detail, always looking professional. It’s not necessarily the most beautiful girl who is gong to win. It’s going to be somebody who took the time to shine her shoes and make sure all of her t’s are crossed an her i’s are dotted.”

During the horsemanship portion of the contest, Tapia said,

ANOTHER MISS RODEO AMERICA? Alexandria Tapia, above, will have a chance to compete for the title in Las Vegas, Nev., which Patricia Eaves, left, won in 1969 after being crowned Miss Rodeo New Mexico. Eaves is the daughter of the late Eaves Movie Ranch owner J.W. Eaves. Tapia was the only candidate for the crown in a June competition, and she hopes to use her reign to draw more interest in the event.

would-be queens must showcase their riding ability and the way they interact with a horse.

Wilma Fulgham, Miss Rodeo New Mexico president and the state director for the Miss Rodeo America pageant, said the organization doesn’t release contestants’ scores, but she said Tapia is “obviously a young woman who does excel, and she showed a lot of promise and poise.”

Once selected as Miss Rodeo New Mexico, a rodeo queen’s real work begins. Tapia — who works as a research assistant for the state Legislative Council Service — said holding the Miss Rodeo New Mexico title is like having a second full-time job.

Her main responsibility in the role, Tapia said, is to be an “ambassador of New Mexico” at rodeos around the state and the country.

Visiting schools or hospitals, signing autographs, passing out coupons, giveaways or surveys, and galloping through the arena on horseback in glamorous Western wear with a state or U.S. flag are all in a day’s work for Miss Rodeo New Mexico.

She also helps out with “mutton busting,” a rodeo event featuring tiny tykes riding sheep, which Tapia said is her favorite part.

“It’s so neat to me ’cause these kids are so excited,” she said. “It’s a lot of their first taste to rodeo.

You see, a lot of cowboys get their start that way. That’s their first time getting in the arena. Some of them are just so pumped up.

Some of them are scared to death, so your goal is really just to calm ‘em down and tell them it’s going to be OK. “I’ve had some that come in, and they are wearing their chaps and they’re ready to ride,” she added. “They are treating it like it’s their ace bull ride. It’s really neat to see that excitement in their eyes and be there to dust ’em off when they fall off the sheep and give them their trophy for participating.”

When Tapia travels — so far she’s gone to Denver, Cheyenne, Wyo., and Kissimmee, Fla. — she is required to travel in full rodeo queen regalia, including the shiny crown that fits over her Westernstyle hat.

Building an appropriate wardrobe is a big part of becoming and being Miss Rodeo New Mexico.

Pageant rules require contestants to wear “full Western attire” at all times. Examples given are

for filling the post, and only some of her travel expenses and lodging are covered.

Tapia is expected to raise funds for her wardrobe and travel via fundraising events and sponsorships from Western apparel companies and other local businesses.

In exchange for cash or in-kind donations, she said, rodeo queens offer autograph-signing appearances or advertising on social media or on their vehicles.

“Think NASCAR,” said Tapia, who hasn’t mounted a concerted fundraising effort locally yet, but she does have one sponsor — country outfitter Dan Post Cowboy Boots.

Near the end of her reign, in December, Tapia will have an opportunity to compete in a pageant where she’s guaranteed to have some competition — the Miss Rodeo America pageant, held in Las Vegas, Nev., in conjunction with the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

If she wins that title — as Patricia Eaves did in 1969 — she’ll be the highest-ranking queen at every rodeo she attends, and she’ll get a salary.

Teachers Laura Tenorio and Carla Tonrey of Taos Middle School were recently named national finalists of the Shell Science Lab Challenge. The competition encouraged teachers in grades 6-12 in the U.S. and Canada, who have found innovative ways to deliver quality lab experiences with limited resources, to share their approaches for a chance to win a school science lab makeover valued at $20,000.

To enter the challenge, science teachers were asked to describe their school’s current laboratory resources, explain why the school’s laboratory facilities might be classified as “limited” resources, and describe their approach to science education instruction utilizing their school’s current lab facilities. A panel of science educators then reviewed and selected the top entries.

Tenorio and Tonrey hope to upgrade the laboratories to allow them to conduct updated labs, safely introducing their students to modern concepts in biotechnology, biochemistry, chemistry, and computer sciences and modeling. The teachers will receive a science lab makeover support package for their school valued at $8,500. uuu Nicolette Gonzales, a senior at Pecos High School, has been accepted into The University of New Mexico’s Combined BA/MD Program.

The U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded Everett Trollinger with its Federal Project Director of the Year Award, for overseeing a project related to the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement Building at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

According to a news release, the CMRR’s Radiological Laboratory/Utility/Office Building Equipment Installation Project came in $2 million under budget and ahead of schedule.

Trollinger works for the National Nuclear Security Administration, which was presented with the U.S. Energy Secretary’s Award for Project Management Excellence.

The 19,500-square-foot Radiological Laboratory was the first facility to be constructed by the CMRR program. Construction was completed in June 2010.

The Equipment Installation project was completed in June of 2013.

Under the leadership of NNSA and Trollinger, a news release says, the project serves as an example of the ongoing cultural change within NNSA. Over the past three years, the release says, NNSA has delivered $725 million in projects 7 percent under budget. NNSA has been recognized by the Government Accountability Office and Congress for progress made in these areas, and as a result has been removed from GAO’s high risk list.

Demonettes, Lady Hilltoppers split doubleheader

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

WHITE ROCK — After the second game of a District 2AAAA doubleheader at Overlook Park on Saturday, the Santa Fe High softball team was celebrating as if it had just won the game.

The thing is, it didn’t. After beating Los Alamos 8-2 in the opener, the Demonettes lost the second one, 11-6.

So what were they so happy about?

The Demonettes (7-4 overall, 2-1)

were facing an 11-0 deficit at the end of the fourth inning and needed to score at least two runs in the top of the fifth to avoid a 10-run mercy-rule ending at the hands of the Lady Hilltoppers.

Instead of just escaping a mercyrule loss, Santa Fe High nearly made a comeback as it scored six runs that started with catcher Alayna Montoya stealing home and ended with third baseman Xeala Porras bringing in two runners on a single to close out the scoring.

The Demonettes didn’t score in the

last two innings, but their rally in the fifth was enough to make them feel like the had won the game. After having a total of two hits in the first four innings, they had seven in the fifth.

“It’s definitely a teamwork thing,” said Santa Fe High sophomore pitcher Alex Russell. “When you all come together as a team you play better, and even when you lose it feels like you just won. It’s a great feeling.”

Santa Fe High looked like a com-

MEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT FINAL FOUR

More teams, players back union push

Big shots lift UConn

Pecos event honors young runner, helps students

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

Players from other universities have expressed interest in forming unions in the wake of the landmark decision last week involving the Northwestern football team, a union organizer said Friday.

Tim Waters of the United Steelworkers would not disclose the players or their schools, saying it was too early to reveal who they are. But he said they reached out following the decision last week by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board declaring Northwestern’s football players have the right to form a union.

“We’re not giving out who it is or who they are, but the answer is yes,” said Waters. “There’s a lot of excitement out there. We’ve been contacted by a number of players.”

A member of Wisconsin’s Final Four basketball team said he participated in weekly conference calls in recent months with the union and Ramogi Huma, head of the National College Players Association, and other players.

The NCPA and the steelworkers are working together on the union push, with the NCAA, Big Ten Conference and Northwestern opposing the move.

“I don’t know exactly how many there were. But on average on a weekly call there were probably 10 or 20, at least,” said Zach Bohannon, a reserve on the team. “So it was definitely a unique experience just hearing the concerns that players all over the country had, and then just voicing my opinion.”

Northwestern players will vote April 25 on whether to become the first college athletes represented by a union. But it could be years, if ever, before college athletes are given a seat at the bargaining table to discuss things like practice hours, medical care and concussions.

Still, Waters said the publicity generated by the ruling that Northwestern football players are employees and can unionize has made more players aware that they, too, could have bargaining rights.

“We’ve been contacted and are taking every one of them seriously,” he said. “It’s a process, a long process.

But leaders of teams across the country have reached out and said we support it and are interested in looking at this for our team.”

Complicating any effort for the steelworkers is that the NLRB ruling only applies to private schools like Northwestern. Public schools are covered by state labor laws, and in some states public employees are not allowed to unionize at all.

Huma and the union have been working since 2000 to try and organize college players. Their goal, they say, is not to get schools to pay players but to give them bargaining rights over issues that affect their lives and could affect their health.

It wasn’t, however, until after they had collected union authorization cards from a majority of players on the Northwestern football team in January that organizers announced the effort to unionize the team.

Huma said Friday that was part of a strategy not to alert the NCAA or the schools in advance about any union activity.

“They’ve been very out front all along that they don’t want any change like this,” said Huma, a former UCLA linebacker.

“James Young has had 25-point games, which I’ll predict he’ll have in this Monday night’s game,” Calipari said, tilting his head and gazing down the long table at his young forward.

“You listening to me?” Calipari asked. “I’m putting a positive seed in your mind right now.”

The headlines will go to those unflappable Harrison twins, Andrew who passed to his brother Aaron for the 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left that proved to be the difference. But both of them owe Young a considerable debt of gratitude for giving them that chance.

He scored nine of his points in the first half of the semifinal, when nothing seemed to be

The community of Pecos gave much to the family of Amanda Byrne during its worst hour.

For the past three years, the Byrnes have given back.

It was a tragic moment in January 2011 for Richard and Gerri Byrne when their youngest daughter, Amanda Byrne, a senior at Pecos High School, died after she was hit by a train while jogging on the tracks in Rowe, where the family lives. Yet, that tragedy revealed the depths of the community’s support and compassion to the Byrnes, and they wanted to pay the townspeople back.

So the family Amanda developed the Byrne Amanda Lynne Byrne Memorial Run later that spring, which funds the Amanda Lynne Byrne Memorial Scholarship.

April 12 will mark the third year of the memorial run, which begins and ends at Pecos High School. The event has a 5-kilometer run/walk, a 10K run and a kids run.

All proceeds from the races benefit the Always Amanda Foundation, which runs the scholarship program that awards a $1,000 scholarship to the Pecos student whose essay to the committee best demonstrates characteristics of a role model for peers and the community.

Leslie Byrne, Amanda’s sister and one of Richard and Gerri’s six children, said the idea behind the scholarship was to give deserving Pecos students the opportunity to further their education. The scholarship’s requirements are a bit different than most other scholarships.

The review committee, which is made up of parents and siblings, other community members and possibly an adviser from the high school, considers the following criteria: • generosity of spirit and self sacrifice; • demonstration of courage and “uncompromising integrity” in the face of social pressures; • community service in working for the common good.

“We don’t want to look at [gradepoint averages],” Leslie Byrne said.

“It’s about who you are as a person and what have you done in your little area of the world. [Participants] might elaborate a bit more, like they help out their grandparents or help pick up trash. And we try to evaluate it on even just a small thing that they do, and what kind of impact it has made on them.”

The Pecos community made a significant impact on the Byrnes after Amanda’s death. More than 500 people showed up at her funeral, and many of them donated money to the family. It spurred the family to return that spirit of generosity. The Byrnes set up the scholarship foundation within a month of Amanda’s passing, and Chris Chavez, a noted distance runner from Santa Fe who knew Leslie as a co-worker with the U.S. Forest Service and a running partner, helped set up the run.

Chavez said the running event has helped the community in multiple ways.

Role players key Connecticut’s 63-53 victory over Florida

By John Marshall The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas onnecticut will not ride a one-man gang into the national championship game this time.

Shabazz Napier is still the leader, but DeAndre Daniels and Ryan Boatright have taken their turns at the wheel.

Daniels carried UConn out of an early funk to finish with 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Boatright gave the Huskies a lift at both ends

in a 63-53 victory over Florida in the Final Four Saturday night Napier was quiet early, but still finished with a steady game, finishing with 12 points and six assists.

But it was Daniels and Boatright who proved to be the differencemakers for the seventh-seeded Huskies (31-8), earning them a spot in Monday’s championship game against Kentucky or Wisconsin.

Daniels helped UConn dig out of a big early hole by scoring inside and out, and hit a couple of big shots down the stretch to prevent Florida (36-3) from rallying. He made

ARLINGTON, Texas — Kentucky’s James Young kept his fellow freshmen in the game, his grit on defense only overshadowed by his scoring spurts that answered every salvo from Wisconsin.

Turns out that Kentucky coach John Calipari wants even more from the often overshadowed Young.

After scoring a game-high 17 points in the Wildcats’ 74-73 victory Saturday night and sending Big Blue Nation through to a national title showdown with Connecticut, Young could only force a tight smile when Calipari made the boldest of forecasts.

PREP ROUNDUP

Northern New Mexico

Elkettes split games with Raton SCOREBOARD

The New Mexican

“The girls are excited and so am I.”

On Tuesday, a new era in Pojoaque Valley’s softball program will begin.

On Saturday, the Elkettes took a step toward their more immediate goal of earning a state playoff berth with a doubleheader split at District 2AAA rival Raton. They lost the opener 10-9, but they rebounded to win the nightcap in a 14-3 rout.

Seven errors were Pojoaque’s downfall in Game 1. Starting pitcher Angelica Romero gave up four earned runs in first inning, but the remaining six Raton runs were all the result of the Elkettes’ shaky defense.

“I tell the girls before every game that errors and walks always score,” said Ricky DeHerrera, Pojoaque’s head coach. “If we limit our errors and walks, we’re going to be OK. I like our chances.”

Romero, Christina Chavez and Abrianna Gipson each went 2-for-3 with a combined five runs batted in. Analisa Martinez was 2-for-4, helping the Elkettes outhit the Lady Tigers 10-8.

The mistakes were held to a more manageable level in Game 2 as Pojoaque committed just three errors, giving starting pitcher Kyra Romero enough support to cruise to the easy complete-game victory.

“She had them guessing,” DeHerrera said.

“I think we might be a stronger defensive team when Angelica’s pitching, but we probably played better in this game than we did in the first.”

Kyra Romero also paced the offense, going 4-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs. Justice Ainsworth, Gaby Gonzales, Amber Sky Lujan and Chavez each had two hits, adding eight RBIs between them.

Pojoaque heads home with a 7-6 overall record and 1-2 mark in 2AAA. The Elkettes play host to Taos on Tuesday in the team’s first home game of the season. It’s also the christening of the brand-new Chris Peterson Memorial Complex, an on-campus area that includes the school’s soccer pitch.

“It’s going to be good to finally get a game at home on our new field,” DeHerrera said.

SFIS places third in Kirtland tournament

said St. Michael’s head coach Roseanne Noedel. “We were aggressive at the plate and that is good to see.”

Berhost was 3-for-3 and allowed just five hits as she threw a complete game. Lovato went 2-for-2, and Jackie Lara had two hits.

Chassity Sam split a pair of decisions, and Angela Martinez won the finale as Santa Fe Indian School finished third in a weekend tournament hosted by Kirtland Central.

Sam gave up just three hits in a 4-0 loss to Kirtland Central in the opening round on Friday, then bounced back to toss another complete game in a 12-6 win over Wingate on Saturday morning.

The Lady Braves (5-7) had 16 hits in that win, led by Sierra Mermejo-Varga’s 5-for-5 effort out of the leadoff spot. Leeanna Martinez was 2-for-3 with an RBI while batting ninth.

Sam gave up seven hits and struck out nine batters.

The Lady Braves were supposed to face Zuni in the consolation game, but they met Kirtland Central’s junior varsity instead.

SFIS head coach Leroy Valencia said Zuni pulled out of the tournament after Saturday morning’s second round.

SFIS dominated Kirtland’s JV, 16-1 in five innings. Martinez went the distance as the Lady Braves finished with 11 hits while drawing seven walks.

Shaina Roanhorse was 2-for-3 with three runs scored while Reyes Crespin had two hits and two RBIs.

KIRTLAND CENTRAL 3, MONTE DEL SOL 2 (9 INNINGS) KIRTLAND CENTRAL 10, MONTE DEL SOL 5 In Kirtland, the visiting Dragons (5-5) had Eduardo Rivas throw a nine-inning complete game in dropping the opener, then had a pair of pitchers combine to to give up 11 hits in the Game 2 loss.

Rivas struck out nine batters and allowed five hits. But in the end, he was let down by his defense as two costly errors in the ninth helped the Broncos load the bases with two outs. A slow roller in the infield allowed the winning run to score.

“Tough loss, but our guys hung in there against a decent [Class AAAA] team,” said Frank Lucero, Monte del Sol head coach.

Peter Bartlett and Antonio Tapia were the pitchers in the nightcap. Tapia helped the cause with a three-run single in the top of the first inning, but Kirtland rallied into a 7-3 lead after Bartlett and, later, Tapia were roughed up in the third inning.

“Honestly, any loss is not a good loss, but these are good, quality losses,” Lucero said.

“It’s a good appearance against a good, quality team. We have a lot to feel good about.”

ST. MICHAEL’S 18, TAOS 8 (6 INNINGS) The Lady Horsemen’s confidence at the plate is starting to show.

They had 16 hits in a nondistrict win over the Lady Tigers at Christian Brothers Athletic Complex on Saturday. Taos scored twice in the opening half of the first inning, but St. Michael’s responded with six runs in the bottom half and two more in the second.

The Lady Horsemen exploded for nine runs in the fourth and fifth innings, highlighted by home runs from Arianna Lovato (in the fourth) and Alli Berhost (the fifth).

“The girls are becoming more confident,”

LOS ALAMOS 3, SANTA FE HIGH 2 LOS ALAMOS 13, SANTA FE HIGH 3 The Demons (4-10, 0-3) missed out on a big District 2AAAA win in Game 1 at Overlook Park, as the Hilltoppers rallied from a 2-1 deficit with a run in the sixth and the game winner in the seventh.

Santa Fe High sophomore Korwin Mueller allowed four hits in 6⅓ innings and went 2-for-6 in the doubleheader, while Kodi Richards went 2-for-5.

“We are really close to turning it around,” said Anthony Martinez, the Demons head coach. “It’s starting to come together.”

“It was a good way to have a memorial for Amanda,” Chavez said. “And it was good for the community. These runs are really a positive event in general, and this is a pretty cool thing to do.”

The first memorial run saw about 250 participants, but the number dwindled to 127 at last year’s event. Applications for

the scholarship have also suffered the same fate, with just three last year.

Chavez and Byrne hope both numbers will pick up and the scholarship will continue for the foreseeable future. Byrne said the foundation has considered changing the criteria for the scholarship, but the family wants to avoid using GPA as one of them.

“We’re working with the high school to

get a bigger turnout,” Leslie Byrne said. “I don’t know what this year will bring, but we hope that it will bring more individuals. I know many of them struggle with the essay, but we want them to tell us something about themselves and how they help out in their own way.”

After all, it was the spirit of what the Pecos community did for a family in need.

Split: Demonettes avoid mercy-rule loss Continued from Page D-1 pletely different team in the first four innings, but the idea of giving a district opponent an easy win did not sit well with the Demonettes.

“I think it was the adrenaline we felt after they thought that we gave up,” Russell said. “We were going to show them that they earned that win.”

Los Alamos (7-10, 1-2) started earning that win early in the game. The Lady Hilltoppers scored five runs in the first inning, three of which came from a three-run bomb over the left-field fence by senior infielder Emilee Jones.

They scored five more runs in the bottom of the fourth, with two coming on another home run to left by senior Krysta Salazar, to give them an 11-0 lead.

It was a strong start by the Lady Hilltoppers, but it may have caused them to lose their focus and let Santa Fe High live to see the final two innings.

“We just lost our concentration there, and those are the kinds of things we’ve been running into this season,” said Los Alamos head coach Roger Anaya. “Sometimes we give up a lot of runs in an inning, and we need to fix that.”

The Demonettes didn’t go

on to win the game, but Russell didn’t give up any hits in the final two innings. The momentum seemed to be swinging in their favor, but a double by Julie Ortiz in the sixth inning was the only hit Santa Fe High had after the fifth.

Regardless, Santa Fe High head coach Keith Richards liked the outcome after the first few innings.

“This just reinforced how many momentum swings you can have on a small field,” Richards said. “You get some energy for an inning or two and things change quickly. It wasn’t looking good initially, but the girls showed a lot of life and heart. We made it respectable, because that second game was pretty disappointing for us.”

Anaya was happy with his team, too. After losing the first game, he said his team would have to hit the ball a lot better in order to split the series. The Lady Hilltoppers had 11 hits in the second game, all in the first four innings.

“Overall, I was happy with how we hit the ball in the first five innings,” Anaya said. “In the last few innings, weren’t hitting the ball as well, but we were still making contact.”

The Lady Hilltoppers still won the game, but they weren’t the ones celebrating.

COMMENTARY

When money talks, it can drown out the game

By Juliet Macur The New York Times

ARLINGTON, Texas t was difficult not to laugh Friday as I sat in the top tier of AT&T Stadium and watched the basketball game below from what seemed like the stratosphere.

Holding the Final Four here is a joke, right?

Inside the megastadium that is home to the Dallas Cowboys, a college all-star game was in progress, but the players’ faces were a blur. I could make out the numbers on their jerseys, but not without straining my eyes. The players from Georgetown, Weber State and Notre Dame looked straight out of Lilliput.

All that made it easier to watch the game on the 2,100-inch video screen suspended over the court, which defeats the purpose of attending a live sporting event. The saddest part, though, was that the game had become a silent movie.

Part of the beauty of basketball, what makes it so sweet, is the sound. Nothing echoes louder than a last-second shot clanging against the rim. Nothing is as

fierce as the solid, angry slap on a ball as a player grabs a rebound.

The rhythm of a dribble. The madness of coaches shouting. The sickening squeal of skin sliding across the floor as players grapple for a loose ball.

None of that can be heard from AT&T Stadium’s worst seats. Fans sitting much closer cannot hear the game, either.

But huge, impersonal stadiums have become the norm for the Final Four.

The event was last played in an arena built for basketball — what a concept — nearly 20 years ago.

Now it goes from one domed or covered stadium to another. At the Cowboys’ vast football bubble, which can hold 105,000 fans, NCAA officials expected Final Four crowds to top 80,000 and break attendance records.

“Good or bad, it’s moneymaking,” said Jim Calhoun, the Hall of Fame former Connecticut men’s coach. “But I like the smell of the game, I like hearing the sneakers, and you don’t get quite as much of that here. Those past Final Fours years ago were intense and beautiful, but now, unfortunately, this is the

atmosphere electric.

“I love basketball in an arena, but this has become the standard for this event,” he said. “I do think fans like it. The feedback that we get from the players over the years is that the players like it too.”

But most of the players I spoke to Friday told me that they would prefer an arena over something that seems as immense as the Grand Canyon.

“It’s an insane venue; I think it’s too big,” Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky said of AT&T Stadium, calling it “almost overkill.”

Kasey Hill, Florida’s backup point guard, said smaller venues allowed him to find his family in the stands.

“Just being able to see them or smile at them, that really makes a difference for me,” he said. “You can’t do that at these crazy, huge places.”

Some players also said they thought it was cool to play in a stadium because of the exposure they would get. Gavitt agreed, noting that neither the NBA nor the Olympics play on such a big stage.

There’s a reason for that: It isn’t worth the money. But spectators keep feeding the NCAA’s greed by buying tickets.

Men’s Division I Basketball Championship

Second Round March 20-21

Four to a 20,000-seat arena but decided that would be impossible. The event needs 60,000 seats or more to meet ticket demand.

Gavitt said that each Final Four participant receives 3,800 tickets; that number would shrink to fewer than 1,000 if the event returned to a traditional basketball arena. But the general public would suffer the most, he said.

“There would be no tickets available to the general public at all if you ended up going that small,” Gavitt said, adding that tickets are also allocated to groups of athletic directors, trainers and coaches. (No mention of sponsors.)

“The committee just feels like they want to make sure those that want to attend this event can attend it.”

But just because you can hold a basketball game in a monstrous stadium doesn’t mean you should. Gavitt probably knows that.

He grew up at the feet of his father, Dave, a former men’s basketball coach at Providence and commissioner of the Big East. Dan Gavitt attended his first Final Four when he was 12, and the arenas were small and the fans made the

going right, and then jumpstarted the second-half run that forced the game down to the wire.

And gave those Harrisons a chance to win it.

“Aaron hit another big shot for us,” Young said. “He saw his man play off him a little bit, and he just took it. He’s been taking all our big shots for us.”

When the Badgers’ Traevon Jackson missed a jumper at the buzzer, and the Wildcats’ Marcus Lee corralled the ball off the backboard, it was Young who led the charge to engulf Aaron Harrison at midcourt.

He was right in the midst of a happy scrum that made a team full of teenagers — Young is one of five freshman starters — look like giddy schoolchildren.

“Really, I was just trying to bring a lot of energy to the defense end,” Young said with a smile, “slapping the ground and trying to pick us up.”

Eighth-seeded Kentucky (29-10), which caught fire during the SEC tournament and has kept up the run throughout March Madness, will play seventh-seeded UConn in a surprising title game.

“We play seven freshmen, folks,” Calipari said, “and they’re all performing, in that stage, under those lights, which is an amazing story.”

Including Young, who is too

often relegated to supporting actor in favor of bruising forward Julius Randle and the Harrison twins. But perhaps it was inevitable that when things were falling apart for Kentucky, it was Young who kept holding his team together.

Praised by his teammates for his laid-back demeanor, Young scored two baskets on a single trip down floor that put a charge in his scuffling team.

He first scored on a driving layup while getting fouled, and then after missing the free throw, wound up with the ball in his hands again. Young calmly knocked down a jump shot from the wing, drawing Kentucky within striking distance.

Young added two free throws to cap the 15-0 surge that gave Kentucky the lead.

From that point on, the game turned into the kind of back-and-forth classic that has become a hallmark of this topsy-turvy tournament.

Young’s basket with just under 8 minutes to go got Kentucky within 64-62, and his defense down the stretch helped the Wildcats hang on when Wisconsin threatened to pull ahead.

When the final buzzer sounded, and the raucous celebration began, Young was right in the middle of it, just as he’d been in the middle of things all night long.

trend.”

Clark Kellogg, the CBS basketball analyst, nailed it when he said: “The game of basketball is meant to be played in an intimate setting, but we’ve obviously squeezed all of the toothpaste out of that tube.”

We didn’t do this. The NCAA is telling everyone that toothpaste has become obsolete and that everyone should embrace this awful trend that has turned one of the greatest live sporting events into a terrible one for all but the fans with the most expensive seats.

Six years ago, a group of 10 university athletic directors and conference commissioners voted to bring the Final Four here. And why not? To them, bigger is better. More seats mean more money for the conferences looking for their slices of a bigger pie.

Dan Gavitt, the NCAA vice president in charge of the men’s basketball tournament, was not in that position when this site was chosen. But like it or not, stadium basketball is something fans will have to get used to, he said.

Gavitt said the committee had recently considered returning the Final

UConn: Sidekicks Boatright and Daniels come through for Napier Continued from Page D-1 star Scottie Wilbekin (cramps) to four points and one assist.

The Huskies had been down this road before: A scrappy, unheralded team making a deep NCAA Tournament run behind a do-it-all guard who practically willed them to victories with big shots and big moments.

In 2011, it was Kemba Walker darting and dashing through the bracket while leading UConn to its third national title — all under Jim Calhoun.

Napier was a freshman on that team and learned from his mentor, becoming the carry-the-team player in Storrs many times this season.

But he hasn’t done it all alone.

Boatright has been interchangeable with Napier in the backcourt, playing shooting guard when Napier runs the point, leading the team when Napier shifts to the two spot or heads to the bench. He also turned into UConn’s point-guard stopper, hounding the opposing team’s floor leader into mistakes and generally making life much

harder all around.

Daniels was sort of an enigma at times during the regular season for the Huskies, showing off flashes of his athleticism some games, disappearing in others.

The junior forward has been steady during the Men’s NCAA Tournament, though, including a 27-point, 10-rebound game in the Sweet 16 against Iowa State.

Napier did most of the work in an early-season win over Florida, hitting a game-winning jumper at the buzzer

while scoring 26 points in a one-point victory — the Gators’ last loss before stringing together a 30-game win streak into the Final Four.

The Huskies had trouble with the spotlight in Jerry Jones’ $1 billion sports palace, falling into holes of 7-0 and 16-4 as the Gators contained Napier, for the most part.

Daniels helped UConn shake its funk, hitting a pair of 3-pointers and sailing in for a dunk during an 11-0 run that got the Huskies back in it.

Boatright had a quiet first half before

starting to find seams in Florida’s defense. He got to the rim a few times without much hassle against the long Gators and was able to find open shooters when they did cut off his lanes.

Boatright also helped lead the charge against Wilbekin, adding to his cramping woes by helping Napier hound his every step.

When it was over, the Huskies again were underdogs headed to the national championship — this time with a pair of sidekicks helping the star get there.

NBA ROUNDUP

Bobcats clinch playoff spot in 96-94 OT win over Cavs The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Al Jefferson scored 24 points, including seven in overtime, and the Charlotte Bobcats clinched a playoff spot with a 96-94 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.

Charlotte is in the postseason for the second time in its 10-year history and the first time since 2010. The Bobcats (39-38) are over .500 for the second time this season and hold seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Kyrie Irving scored a career-high 44 points for Cleveland. The Cavs (31-47) trail eighth-place Atlanta by 3½ games for the final playoff spot in the East.

Irving was 16 of 31 from the field, including five 3-pointers. He added eight assists and seven rebounds.

Gerald Henderson’s basket gave Charlotte a 90-89 lead with 1:08 remaining and the Bobcats made four free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

NETS 105, 76ERS 101 In Philadelphia, Kevin Garnett scored 10 points in his first game in more than five weeks to help Brooklyn beat Philadelphia.

The 37-year-old Garnett missed 19 straight games since Feb. 27 because of back spasms. The Nets went 14-5 over that span.

Garnett was back in the starting lineup and was sharp from the start.

He scored on an alley-oop in the first quarter, made his first four shots, and had a nasty block on Michael CarterWilliams’ layup attempt that knocked the rookie guard to the ground.

Garnett also passed Alex English to

move into 14th on the NBA’s career scoring list.

RAPTORS 102, BUCKS 98 In Milwaukee, DeMar DeRozan scored 15 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and Toronto beat Milwaukee to keep pace in the hunt for playoff position.

Toronto and the Chicago Bulls, who beat Washington on Saturday night, are 45-32 and tied for the third seed in the Eastern Conference with five games to play.

Milwaukee fell to an NBA-worst 14-63, guaranteeing the team’s worst record in its 45-year history.

Greivis Vasquez tied a season-high with 26 points for Toronto, which has won three consecutive games and six of seven. Vasquez, who averages 9.1 points, made up the scoring lost when starting point guard Kyle Lowry missed

the game with a bruised left kneecap.

DeRozan made six free throws in the final 24 seconds to seal the victory.

BULLS 96, WIZARDS 78 In Washington, D.J. Augustin scored 25 points, Joakim Noah had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Chicago turned a possible first-round playoff preview into a laugher, never trailing in a win over Washington.

Augustin made 6 of 11 3-pointers — but only 2 of 8 2-pointers — and Carlos Boozer added 16 points for the Bulls, who have won five straight and are battling the Toronto Raptors for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Augustin has averaged 19.8 points during the winning streak.

MAGIC 100, TIMBERWOLVES 92 In Orlando, Fla., Arron Afflalo scored 18 points and Tobias Harris and Mau-

rice Harkless added 17 apiece to lead Orlando over short-handed Minnesota.

Rookie Victor Oladipo contributed 16 points and six assists to help Orlando snap a three-game losing streak.

Kyle O’Quinn had 14 points and 13 rebounds.

PISTONS 115, CELTICS 111 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Rodney Stuckey came off the bench to score 26 points and help Detroit rally past Boston.

The Pistons trailed by as many as 19 points in third quarter and were down 95-85 at the start of the fourth before going on a 15-4 run that gave them their first lead since early in the game. The teams traded the lead several times before Stuckey made a pair of free throws with 57 seconds left to break a 111-all tie.

Gardenhire gets 1,000th win as Twins beat Indians The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Kyle Gibson limited Cleveland to one run in his season debut after Brian Dozier led off the game with a home run, Twins 7 leading Minnesota to a Indians 3 7-3 win over the Indians on Saturday and giving Twins manager Ron Gardenhire his 1,000th career victory.

Gibson (1-0) allowed three hits in five-plus innings as the Twins snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Indians.

TIGERS 7, ORIOLES 6 In Detroit, Torii Hunter homered and drove in five runs, and the Tigers withstood a five-run ninth inning by Baltimore.

Rick Porcello (1-0) allowed a run and three hits in 6⅔ innings in his first start of the season, and the Tigers (4-0) remain the only undefeated team.

MARINERS 3, ATHLETICS 1 In Oakland, Calif., Felix Hernandez took a shutout into the ninth, and Dustin Ackley and Abraham Almonte homered.

Hernandez (2-0) retired the first 11 batters on the way to his 16th career win over the Athletics, his most against any team.

Hernandez walked one and struck out eight while allowing a run on six hits over 8⅓ innings.

RAYS 5, RANGERS 4 In St. Petersburg, Fla., James Loney hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the eighth inning.

Loney lined an opposite-field drive off Neal Cotts (0-1) that went over left fielder Shin-Soo Choo and put the Rays up 5-4.

Brandon Gomes (1-0) pitched a perfect eighth before Grant Balfour got the final three outs for his first save.

BLUE JAYS 4, YANKEES 0 In Toronto, R.A. Dickey and three relievers combined for a shutout, and Jose Bautista and Melky Cabrera hit home runs.

Dickey (1-0) gave up five hits in 6⅔ innings, walked one and struck out six.

ANGELS 5, ASTROS 1 In Houston, Josh Hamilton hit a two-run home run and Tyler Skaggs pitched eight innings of four-hit ball.

Skaggs (1-0) allowed an unearned run and struck out five. Hamilton followed David Freese’s run-scoring single with his second homer in two days, extending the lead to 4-1 in the fifth off Dallas Keuchel.

ROYALS 4, WHITE SOX 3 In Kansas City, Mo., Salvador Perez hit a go-ahead RBI double with two outs in the eighth.

BREWERS 7, RED SOX 6 (11 INNINGS) In Boston, Khris Davis doubled in the 11th inning for his fourth hit of the game, and scored on Logan Schafer’s double.

Cowboys sweep doubleheader Junior relief pitcher Ben Ruff picked up a pair of saves, helping the New Mexico Highlands University baseball team sweep a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference doubleheader from visiting Regis on Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas, N.M. The Cowboys (17-15, 14-8) won the opener 6-4, then took the nightcap, 7-6.

Highlands never trailed in the opener as Andrew Ratterman drew a nine-pitch walk and later scored on a three-base error in the bottom of the first inning.

Morgan McCasland added a solo home run later in the inning, his ninth of the season.

The Cowboys rallied from a 4-3 deficit in the fifth inning in Game 2, getting the winning runs with a three-run rally in the bottom of the sixth.

Ruff followed his save in the opener by working a shaky seventh inning to nail down the victory. He gave up a hit, a walk and two runs before securing the final out. He now has three saves on the season.

Highlands maintained its lead in the RMAC Plains Division, holding a 1½ game lead on second-place Colorado StatePueblo.

NMHU has taken the first three games of the series against Regis and will go for the sweep Sunday afternoon at Brandt Field. First pitch is at noon.

This Date in Baseball 1986 — Roger Clemens set a major league record by striking out 20 batters as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Seattle Mariners 3-1.

2001 — Geoff Jenkins homered twice, tying a major league record with five homers in two games to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 10-0 win over the Montreal Expos. Jenkins is the 22nd player to hit five in two games and the first NL player to do it in 10 years.

2005 — In the first matchup between 300-game winners in almost 18 years, the Cubs’ Greg Maddux outdueled the Astros’ Roger Clemens in Chicago’s 3-2 win over Houston.

Maddux earned his first win of season and 306th of his career, allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings.

2006 — Albert Pujols set a major league record with his 14th homer in April, a tiebreaking shot in the eighth inning that sent St. Louis to a 2-1 victory over Washington. Pujols broke the mark for homers in April held by Ken Griffey Jr. (1997) and Luis Gonzalez (2001).

2007 — Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki had an unassisted triple play in the seventh inning of the Rockies’ 9-7 win over Atlanta. After Kelly Johnson and Edgar Renteria reached on singles, Tulowitzki caught Chipper Jones’ line drive behind second base. Tulowitzki stepped on the bag to double up Johnson and tagged Renteria for the third out. It was the 13th unassisted triple play in major league history and the first since 2003.

2010 — Toronto catcher John Buck homered in each of his first three at-bats to lead the Blue Jays to a 6-3 win over the Oakland Athletics.

Davis’ grand slam in 9th lifts Mets over Reds The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Pinch-hitter Ike Davis hit a game-ending grand slam and the Mets were aided by a favorable ninthinning replay review Mets 6 in rallying to beat the Reds 3 Cincinnati Reds 6-3 Saturday.

Brandon Phillips had given the Reds a 3-2 lead with a two-run homer off Dillon Gee in the eighth, two innings after Curtis Granderson connected for a two-run drive off Johnny Cueto.

Trailing by a run in the ninth, Juan Lagares walked leading off against fill-in closer J.J. Hoover.

Anthony Recker bunted and first baseman Joey Votto threw to second base for the force play. Second base umpire James Hoye called Lagares out and Mets manager Terry Collins raced out of the dugout to ask for a challenge. After a review of 2 minutes, 15 seconds, the call was overturned.

Hoover then walked Ruben Tejada to load the bases.

Davis, having lost his starting first base job to Lucas Duda a day earlier, was called on to hit in the pitcher’s spot and lined a 0-1 pitch to right field, setting off a

Isotopes game rescheduled due to rain For the second time in three days, the Albuquerque Isotopes got an unexpected day off on Saturday.

Rain again wreaked havoc on Tacoma’s Cheney Stadium, and it led to the postponement of the Isotopes’ game against the Rainiers. The game will be made up as a part of a doubleheader on June 6, when the Isotopes return to the Pacific Northwest.

In the meantime, the ’Topes hope

the rain will take the day off for the series finale on Sunday, when Albuquerque right-hander Zach Lee is set to face Rainiers righty Chance Ruffin in a 7:05 p.m. start. Then, it’s off to Nevada for a four-game set with the Reno Aces before coming back to Albuquerque for the home opener Friday against the Rainiers.

less innings to lead Philadelphia.

Dominic Brown drove in Utley for the Phillies with a single in the fourth.

Lee (2-0) allowed 10 hits and had just one 1 ⅔ inning. But it never felt as if he was in trouble. He worked on the edges of both sides of the plate and kept the Cubs hitters off balance. Four of his six strikeouts were called third strikes.

PHILLIES 2, CUBS 0 In Chicago, Chase Utley went 3-for-3 and homered for the second day in a row, and Cliff Lee pitched seven score-

GIANTS 7, DODGERS 2 In Los Angeles, Madison Bumgarner struck out 10 while working into the seventh inning and San Francisco hit

three home runs.

Yasiel Puig started in right field and batted leadoff for the Dodgers a day after he was benched for arriving late for stretching and batting practice.

Michael Morse had a solo shot in the fourth inning and the Giants got backto-back homers in the fifth from Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey.

MARLINS 5, PADRES 2 In Miami, Jose Fernandez struck out eight in 6⅔ innings while lowering his ERA to 0.71, and Miami won again.

The Marlins improved to 5-1, their best start since 2009. Last year their fifth victory came in their 21st game, and they finished with 100 losses.

CARDINALS 4, PIRATES 1 In Pittsburgh, Yadier Molina hit his second homer of the season, and Jhonny Peralta added a late two-run shot for St. Louis.

Molina finished 2 for 4 and his solo homer in the sixth gave the Cardinals plenty of cushion as they bounced back from a 12-2 loss on Friday night.

ROCKIES 9, DIAMONDBACKS 4 In Denver, Nolan Arenado homered twice, rookie Tommy Kahnle picked up his first major league victory and Colorado overcame a four-run deficit.

The Web’s grumpiest cat hits her terrible twos

By Leanne Italie The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Watch out world, Grumpy Cat has hit her terrible twos.

The top dog in Internet cat stardom, known for her downward smile and bugged-out baby blues, spent her birthday Friday touring New York City with an entourage worthy of Hollywood.

And Hollywood is where the funnylooking feline is bound, with a movie project in the works to add to her pile of endorsements and licensing deals that include her scowling face on limitededition bags of Friskies Party Mix treats and her own line of “Grumppuccino” bottled coffee drinks.

So who will voice the cat we love to

caption? Grumpy’s not saying, nor are her humans, the brothersister team of Tabatha and Bryan Bundesen.

With her own agent, YouTube videos that have racked up millions of hits, T-shirts, calendars and a Grumpy Cat best-selling book available in 14 languages, exactly how much is this cat worth?

“The business is doing very well,” Bryan laughed. “Grumpy doesn’t like to discuss specifics.”

The humans, to be sure, are more than a little grateful. “We both were blue-collar people,” Bryan said — he a cable company

lineman in Ohio and she a server at a Red Lobster near her home in Morristown, Ariz. “It has changed our lives. It’s been a blessing. We’re very thankful for it.”

The grump’s real name is Tardar Sauce, so dubbed (and misspelled) by Tabatha’s now 12-year-old daughter, Chyrstal, soon after their female pet calico gave birth to her and three siblings. The cat was tiny and is still petite, a victim of feline dwarfism, and wobbles a bit when she walks due to elongated rear legs that have only added to her popularity.

“She looks like a snowshoe Siamese is what we’re told most,” Bryan offers. “We’ve had some nice comments from people about it being nice that the spotlight’s on a cat that’s unique and has feline dwarfism.”

Florida Keys include shipwrecks, museums

By Suzette Laboy The Associated Press

KEY WEST, Fla. — From the treasures of a 1622 shipwreck to 4,000 years of diving history, more than a dozen museums are spread across the more than 100 miles of islands that make up the Florida Keys. Besides the water and sky views on either side of the toll-free Overseas Highway, the scenic drive south from Miami to Key West (about three hours) also includes plenty of opportunities to take in the island chain’s rich history.

In Islamorada: The History of Diving Museum is hard to miss as you drive by: Underwater sea creatures are painted on the ocean-blue building along with an oldfashioned bottomless diving helmet.

The Keys History & Discovery Center is located at the Islander Resort, a Guy Harvey Outpost (mile marker 82, ocean side). Exhibit themes include the first inhabitants of the Florida Keys, shipwrecks and salvage, pioneering families on the island chain, sport fishing legends and Flagler’s Over-Sea Railroad.

In Marathon: The EAA Air Museum, located in a hangar adjacent to the Florida Keys Marathon Airport (mile marker 52), tells the story of aviation history in the Keys.

Pigeon Key Foundation and Marine Science Center is a 5-acre coral island, used as a camp between 1908 and 1912

for 400 laborers working on Henry Flagler’s Florida Keys Over-Sea Railroad, which ran from Miami through the onceisolated island chain to Key West.

Crane Point Museum and Nature Center, mile marker 50, bayside, houses nature trails, a butterfly garden, a children’s activity center and a natural history museum.

In Key West: Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, 907 Whitehead St., offers guided tours of the house where he lived for most of the 1930s and wrote some of his most notable works, including To Have and Have Not. The Tennessee Williams Exhibit, 513 Truman Ave. (behind the Key West Business Guild), chronicles the renowned playwright’s life in Key West, which he began visiting in the 1940s.

Custom House Museum, 281 Front St. near Mallory Square, is a national landmark operated by the Key West Art & Historical Society.

Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, 200 Greene St., showcases treasure from the 1622 Spanish galleons discovered by Fisher, an American treasure hunter known for his 1985 discovery of the wreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha.

Fort East Martello Museum, 3501 S. Roosevelt Blvd., is a national landmark. The 1860s fort was built to protect Key West during the Civil War, but it never saw any battles.

The Fort East Martello Museum, a historic Civil War-era fort in Key West, Fla., is filled with artifacts illustrating aspects of the island’s heritage. FLORIDA KEYS NEWS BUREAU/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUTHENTICALLY DESIGNED HEATHER VAN LUCHENE AND STEFFANY HOLLINGSWORTH

ith all of the strides made and continuing conversation regarding gender equality, the fact that our topic this month is a phenomenon strikes us as ironic, and yet the man cave is alive and well. Many a home built or remodeled today includes such a dugout.

The phrase man cave evokes images of pool tables, multiple TVs and beer-stained leather sofas. And while one or more of these elements may appear in the evolved man cave, the potential for a true retreat for Y chromosomes beckons much more.

Men by nature have fewer, more basic shelter needs, and if they are successfully met for their sanctuary, it breeds contentment for families and envy among their pack. Success is achieved in this quest in three categories: creature comforts, activity support and visual representation.

The man cave is a place for escape, where the design rules for the rest of the house do not apply. Subject to definition by its occupants, the goals of recharging, play and revelry remain fairly consistent. What some men may desire is a man cove — a more serene place for gaining fortitude, spawning creativity, tinkering or hobbies that require more quietude or sprawl than the rest of the house allows.

In other versions, the design should allow for a combination of potential activities and accompanying furniture and/or equipment requirements, possibly including card games, pool (with several feet of clearance on each side of the table), musicplaying (drum kit? amplifier? stage? speakers?), darts, specialty cars (car lifts?), and video gaming (room to freely move). Area should be allocated for lounging, with optimal viewing of a TV or movie screen, as well as any secondary point of importance (fireplace or view).

Seating must support the activities (such as hours of screen-watching) and be durable and cleanable. Combinations of leather, ultra-suede and outdoor fabrics for upholstery best withstand even the most rigorous user. Ample table surface must be available for beverages that are ideally stored in a refrigerator, wine chiller or on tap in a customized bar space. There is a sense of luxury in a space outfitted with a state-of-the-art sound system, projection screens and the precise storage systems required to have just the right props, tools or paraphernalia at hand.

children who might occasionally occupy the inner sanctum. The warmth of wood — reclaimed, weathered, hand-hewn or finely finished — is a natural for floors, ceilings and walls, as is stained concrete for floors and countertops. Other appropriate materials are stone facing, quartzite countertops for easy maintenance and resilient flooring alternatives such as cork or rubber for highimpact activities.

Leather-covered walls, a troweled texture in a rich color or a graphic wall-covering could perfectly coincide with a heavy textural rug, flexing a handsome appeal. Laser-cut steel panels, favorite images screen-printed in black and white, or photographic prints can add intrigue. Light fixtures, hooks, cabinet hardware and door hardware present unending possibilities for humor and expression. Window coverings add ambiance and play an important role for blocking or filtering light as needed.

Man caves are ideal for dis-

playing successes or memorabilia from events, favorite teams or heroes with trophies, medals, jerseys, photos and the like.

Hunters need mounting space for other kinds of trophy, and all mentioned above require spot lighting, either housed in recesses or dedicated directional spots. Shadowboxes can proudly display memories or collectables such as balls, bottles or coins. We love things that represent pride, accomplishment, inspiration or nostalgia.

Whether a quiet respite for a good book or a nap, a studio or a place to let it all out, form and function should be evenly matched. Let them eat quiche!

Earthy hues that blend into the landscape tend to dominate the outdoor furniture market. Understated woods, metals and cushions are easy-to-incorporate neutral elements.

But outdoor spaces also offer the chance to be more adventurous than we are inclined to be indoors.

Maybe bolder balconies and peppier patios on your redecorating radar?

“Vibrant color has dominated the home furnishings arena since last fall, and after an unusually cold winter, the time’s ripe for bright color to become a focus for our outdoor spaces. Color is a great energizer,” says Jackie Hirchhault, marketing vice president for the American Home Furnishings Alliance, based in High Point, N.C. Aimee Beatty, in-house stylist at Pier 1, says lively outdoor pieces give people a way to make a statement: “Incorporating pops of color with furniture and accessories adds personality and flare.”

She suggests adding a colorful bench to the patio to coordinate with a more traditional or neutral dining set. “One new piece is a simple, budget-friendly way to make a big impact,” she says.

“Brightly colored furniture is also a quick way to punch up a small space,” she adds. A bistro table and chairs in playful hues sets the stage, and you don’t need much more than a few additional pieces to create an inviting space, even if it’s a tiny terrace.

Pier 1’s Paris-inspired Neely Bistro Set comes in red or peacock blue rust-resistant cast aluminum. Frontgate’s powder-coated aluminum side and bar chairs in fresh colors like aqua and melon come in whimsical designs like curlicues and floral motifs.

The Rock Point acacia wood bench can be had in red, marine blue or dandelion yellow, and has the added benefit of being foldable for off-season storage. Synthetic rattan chairs are weather resistant and come in an array of clean, crisp brights like ocean, purple, orange and yellow. (www.pier1.com) Z Gallerie’s Madison garden stool comes in gold for a touch of metallic flair. You’ll also find the Mimosa lantern, featuring a filigreed Moroccan motif in mandarin, white, lemon and aquamarine. (www.zgallerie. com) A patio umbrella is a quick and inexpensive style changer. Start the party by setting up Hayneedle’s shaggy acrylic Palapa umbrella, a 6-foot-wide hula skirt on a pole with thatched strips of acrylic in lime, whiskey, raspberry pink or lemon yellow.

If it’s spring, it’s time to declutter

By Gracie Bonds Staples The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATLANTA — It seems as though we were a moment ago complaining about the ice of winter, with its bone-chilling temperatures, its penchant for shutting down roads and inducing us with cabin fever.

But just like clockwork, spring is here and summer will surely follow.

That’s how nature operates.

Trees shed leaves in autumn, and new buds bloom in the warmth of spring, signaling, ah yes, that time when we clean. The house.

The garage.

“It’s a natural thing to open the curtains and let the light in and enjoy the warm weather,” said Suellen Germani, owner of Creative Order, a professional organizing firm she founded in 2005. “With that comes cleaning. I don’t know if it’s an innate urge to declutter in the spring or something we’ve just been programmed to do.”

It all comes down to bringing order to our personal space, starting in most cases with the closet, Germani said. For some, that means stowing the winter wardrobe and replacing it with more seasonal fare.

“Whenever you do the ward-

robe switch, it’s the perfect time to go through what you didn’t wear in the past season and decide what you want to keep or have live someplace else,” Germani said. “That can be donations, consignment or the trash for those things that have stains and tears.”

How do you decide what gets to stay and what doesn’t?

“If it doesn’t fit, it needs to go,” said Carleen Tabb, a personal stylist and founder of Cie My Style in Atlanta. “After that, you

need to focus on style, discarding things that are dated.”

If you’re replenishing, versatility is key, she said.

“If you can’t wear it three different ways, it isn’t closet worthy,” Tabb said. “It will just hang there collecting dust.”

Germani, who in addition to providing organizational services also offers life coaching, said January, when people are making New Year’s resolutions, and spring are peak seasons when it comes to people wanting to purge and bring order to their lives.

Declutter: Clean garage a top priority Continued from Page E-1 After the closet, the home office and garage should be top priorities because spring is also the time of year when many of us turn our attention to taxes, want to tidy up our yards, go camping or begin planning those beach vacations. The garage is where we store tools and gear.

“When we come in as organizers, we help them get those areas tidied up and create zones for things such as gardening, camping supplies and sports equipment,” Germani said.

Clients, she said, are often embarrassed or they think she will be horrified by their space, but spring cleaning isn’t about being a neat freak. Even piles of paper and clothes might say clean to some.

“Being organized is being able to find what you want when you want it,” Germani said. “It often doesn’t matter how it looks to the person whose stuff it is.”

For instance, she said, one person might have a very low tolerance for visual clutter, and another one might not even notice it. In that case, it’s

important to compromise.

“There’s also different organizational personalities,” Germani said.

“Some who have low tolerance for visual clutter want to put things away in containers or drawers. Then you have those who are stressed out when they can’t see their stuff.”

Dr. Martha Bailey and her partner Joan Rau, who are using Germani, are polar opposites.

“I’m very organized,” Bailey said.

“Joan not so much.”

The couple needed help merging their households.

“When spring comes, you naturally start looking at your house, but ours is many spring cleanings in the making,” Bailey said. “It’s certainly long overdue for Joan and I.” Bailey said they’d tried unsuccessfully for a few years to get organized independently of outside help but failed miserably.

“We could not do that on our own,” she said.

After an initial walk through their home to determine the couple’s need, Germani was back recently to bring order first to their home office, then a

spare bedroom and closets.

In the office, a game plan was laid out to install office shelving, recycle and shred papers and supplies that they no longer needed and find appropriate homes for the things that remained. In the bedrooms and closets, like items would be sorted together and then the sorting, organizing and discarding were done.

Although spring is normally the impetus for getting one’s house in order, Germani and Tabb say more and more of us are seeking to declutter our lives in every sense of the word. They say even the calendar can amass clutter, putting demands on our time and leaving little room for personal growth and recharging.

Many of us, however, are realizing we’re happier with less, Germani said.

“We’re finding as a society that things don’t necessarily make you happy,” she said. “There is more to it than that. When you get rid of things that aren’t serving you and keep only those items or time commitments that make you happy, then it opens up room and time for more creative outlets like writing or painting.”

Magnesium The important mineral you’re probably not getting enough of

By Lindsay WIlson

Y

ou know your body depends on a number of vitamins to properly function, but did you know that certain minerals are also vital for health? Minerals are found throughout the body and work with vitamins, enzymes, and hormones to regulate a myriad of biological functions. Calcium is one mineral that tends to steal the spotlight, but magnesium is just as important, if not more important, when it comes to whole body health. And while many people focus on their calcium intake, they forget about magnesium. Can one simple mineral be that important for health? In short, yes.

Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including those involved in protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. It is also required for energy production and the synthesis of RNA, DNA, and the important antioxidant glutathione. And magnesium is a key player in maintaining healthy bone.

Low magnesium intakes and blood levels have been associated with type-2 diabetes, elevated C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation), hypertension, sudden cardiac death, osteoporosis, migraine headache, asthma, and colon cancer.

As you can see, magnesium is no minor player in whole body health.

Bone Health Calcium is often considered the most important nutrient for bone health, followed by vitamin D. But magnesium is necessary for both of these nutrients to work effectively. Magnesium is a co-factor to the enzymes that metabolize vitamin D. In other words, magnesium is required to convert vitamin D3 into its active form so it can carry out its important functions in the body, including calcium absorption; low levels of magnesium can inhibit the body from effectively utilizing vitamin D. Magnesium also activates a hormone that helps pull calcium from the blood and soft tissues into the bones. In addition to its relationship with calcium and vitamin D, magnesium also influences the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, specialized cells that build up new bone and break down old bone. Not surprisingly, research has confirmed that women with osteoporosis have lower serum magnesium levels compared to women without the disease.

Cardiovascular Health In its role of transporting potassium and calcium ions across cell membranes, magnesium affects nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm.

Low magnesium levels are associated with arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) and heart palpitations. Magnesium also maintains proper smooth muscle function in the blood vessels and promotes endothelial health, helping the lining of the arteries stay smooth and elastic. Through these actions, magnesium may play a role in regulating blood pressure, an important factor in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Animal studies have found that animals on low magnesium diets develop arterial wall degeneration and calcification and an increase in triglyceride levels.

Blood Sugar Control While magnesium’s role in bone and cardiovascular health has been known and studied for decades, its role in blood sugar metabolism has only more recently been investigated. The research has found a strong relationship between magnesium and insulin action. A reduction of magnesium in the cells has been found to increase insulin resistance, while daily supplementation with magnesium has shown to improve beta cell function (the cells responsible for storing and releasing insulin)

and insulin sensitivity in both type-2 diabetes and non-diabetic subjects with insulin resistance.

Brain Health Long known as a calming mineral, magnesium plays a key role in the activity of receptors in the brain known as NMDA receptors. These receptors are activated by glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter, which opens channels allowing calcium to enter the neuron, making it more sensitive to stimulation. Magnesium has the ability to block the NMDA receptor. This is important because if glutamate and calcium are continually activating these receptors, they can damage the neuron, and eventually lead to cell death. In both human and animal models, dysregulation of the NMDA receptors are associated with depression. Although more research is needed to find conclusive results, case studies have found that symptoms of depression improve with magnesium supplementation. Magnesium deficiency may also be related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In one study, researchers found that out of 116 children with ADHD 95 percent were deficient in magnesium.

But Wait! There’s More…

In addition to its important roles in bone, cardiovascular, and brain health and blood sugar regulation, magnesium has also shown promise in promoting healthy lung function; relieving the pain associated with fibromyalgia; reducing the occurrence of migraine headaches; relieving symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (specifically bloating, swelling, and breast tenderness) and relieving dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps); and promoting healthy sleep.

Because it is involved in so many biochemical processes, chronically low intakes of magnesium increase the risk of illness over time. And according to the National Institutes of Health, most of us are not getting optimal amounts of this important mineral. This is in part due to a decrease in magnesium content in foods because of industrial farming practices, which deplete magnesium levels in the soil.

Additionally, the processed foods that are so prevalent in the American diet lack magnesium. Certain medical conditions can also negatively affect magnesium levels, including gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and colitis), diabetes, pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism, and kidney disease, as well as excessive menstrual bleeding. Large amounts of caffeine, processed carbohydrates (including sugar), alcohol, and stress can also lower magnesium levels. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency may include fatigue, restless leg syndrome, sleep disorders, abnormal heart rhythms and palpitations, and muscle spasms and cramping.

The current RDA (recommended daily allowance) for magnesium is between 320 and 420 mg daily. It is a good idea to also take a B vitamin complex, or a multivitamin containing B vitamins, because vitamin B6 promotes the absorption of magnesium in the gut. Note: Many common over-the-counter remedies for upset stomach and heartburn, including Milk of Magnesia® and Rolaids®, contain magnesium as a primary ingredient. You should not rely on these medications as a major source of magnesium, but it is important to note different sources of magnesium you may be ingesting so you don’t overdo it.

With the broad health effects of magnesium, and with the majority of Americans lacking optimal levels, there is no excuse to not increase your intake of this important mineral.

Despite the development of many “breakthrough” drugs designed to combat its effects, heart disease remains the number-one killer of Americans. Is there a simpler solution? The answer is yes. For many years, scientists and medical researchers have known about a common mineral that can effectively prevent or remedy many cardiovascular conditions. And unlike the pharmaceuticals usually prescribed, this supplement has no dangerous side effects. In Magnificent Magnesium, cardiologist Dr. Dennis Goodman shines a spotlight on magnesium, the mineral that can maximize your heart health.

The book details magnesium’s astounding benefits, not only for heart disease, but for other health problems, including obesity, type-2 diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, osteoporosis, and insomnia. Dr. Goodman also offers clear guidelines on how to select and use magnesium supplements for the greatest effect.
