The Archdiocese of Santa Fe has cleared the rector of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi of any wrongdoing involving youth.

But the chancellor of the archdiocese, the Very Rev. John Cannon, wrote in a letter dated Nov. 12 that the Rev. Adam Lee Ortega y Ortiz should be cautious in his dealings with young people.

The investigation was apparently launched Oct. 23 when the cathedral’s music director, Xavier Gonzales, sent Rev. Adam an email to 45 parishioOrtega y ners accusing Ortega of Ortiz “crude and inappropriate behavior” and an “inability to keep his hands to himself.”

Cannon said in his letter, released Friday by Ortega, that “numerous” employees, volunteer ministers and clergy at the cathedral were interviewed about the allegations and the matter is now closed.

Gonzales, who wrote the email after he was fired by Ortega, confirmed Friday that he was among those interviewed, but not until Nov. 13, the day after Cannon wrote the letter clearing Ortega of the charges.

Gonzales also said that on Nov. 4, his mother was told by Ortega that her services on the finance council of Cristo Rey Church, where Ortega also serves as rector, were no longer were needed.

“It’s been made very obvious that communicating with the Archdiocese at this point is like talking to a box of rocks,”

Santa Fe slopes may open on Thanksgiving after 9-year slump

t’s been nine years since the ski basin above Santa Fe has had enough snow to open its season on Thanksgiving.

But optimism that Ski Santa Fe may finally join Taos Ski Valley in opening on the holiday next week is rising in the wake of recent storms.

Though winter technically hasn’t started, New Mexico is looking more wintry after an arctic front moved into the area early Friday, leaving a dusting of snow in Santa Fe and adding to mountain snowpack. And forecasters predict a more potent storm is on its way.

Widespread heavy snow is likely over Northern and Central New Mexico, especially late Saturday and early Sunday, with the biggest amounts accumulating across high terrain, the National Weather Service said Friday. Forecasters said snow bands could continue to move across the area through Monday morning, and the eastern

Before T. rex, S. meekerorum roamed land as ‘top predator’ Scientists discover 4-ton, 30-foot dinosaur in Utah

By Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Field Museum scientists have discovered a new “top predator” dinosaur in North America, a significant precursor to Tyrannosaurus rex and an important part of an emerging fossil record for the continent, the museum planned to announce early Friday.

The 4-ton, 30-foot animal was discovered in a region of 100-million-year-old rock in Utah during a museum expedition led by Peter Makovicky, curator of dinosaurs, and

Lindsay Zanno, then a postdoctoral fellow at the Field.

Siats meekerorum — named by the scientists after a man-eating monster of legend from the region’s Ute Indian people and the Meekers, a museum donor family from Evanston, Ill. — helps flesh out what has been a skeletal picture of North American wildlife in the tens of millions of years before T. rex was the dominant predator.

Although Siats is the third-largest carnivore found on the continent, this fossil is no Sue, the largely intact T. rex skeleton that presides over the Field’s central hall. Indeed, it takes imagination to turn the smattering of bones that rested earlier this week

GENEVA — Secretary of State John Kerry and foreign ministers of other major powers lent their weight to the Iran nuclear talks after envoys reported progress Friday in marathon negotiations to curb the Iranian program in return for limited sanctions relief. After a third day of talks, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Kerry was en route to Geneva to “help narrow the differences.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in Geneva late Friday.

Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who has been on several diplomatic missions to North Korea from his earlier role as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has been in touch with his North Korean contacts about Newman, spokeswoman Caitlin Kelleher said.

Afghans rebuff U.S. deadline KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai on Friday rebuffed American demands that he sign a security pact allowing U.S. forces to stay in the country for another decade, while the U.S. warned that planning for a post-2014 military presence may be jeopardized if the deal isn’t finalized by the end of the year.

Afghan leaders met for a second day to debate the draft agreement seen as necessary to enable American soldiers to stay beyond a 2014 deadline primarily to train and mentor government security forces.

People gather before a ceremony to mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy on Friday at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. President Kennedy’s motorcade was passing through Dealey Plaza when shots rang out on Nov. 22, 1963. TONY GUTIERREZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anniversary of JFK death brings sadness, solemnity

By Jamie Stengle and Nomaan Merchant The Associated Press

DALLAS t was the same time, 12:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22. It was the same place, downtown Dallas.

But 50 years later, the thousands of people who filled Dealey Plaza weren’t there to cheer but to remember in quiet sadness the young, handsome president with whom Dallas will always be “linked in tragedy.”

The solemn ceremony presided over by Mayor Mike Rawlings was the first time the city had organized an official Kennedy anniversary event, issuing 5,000 free tickets and erecting a stage with video screens.

Somber remembrances extended from Dallas to the shores of Cape Cod, with moments of silence, speeches by historians and, above all, simple reverence for a time and a leader long gone.

“We watched the nightmarish reality in our front yard,” Rawlings told the crowd, which assembled just steps from the Texas School Book Depository building where Lee Harvey Oswald fired from the sixth floor at Kennedy’s open-top limousine. “Our president had been taken from us, taken from his family, taken from the world.”

Two generations later, the assassination still stirs quiet sadness in the baby boomers who remember it as the beginning of a darker, more cynical time.

“A new era dawned and another waned a half-century ago, when hope and hatred collided right here in Dallas,” Rawlings told the crowd that gathered under gray skies and in near-freezing temperatures. The mayor said the slaying prompted

Dallas to “turn civic heartbreak into hard work” and helped the city mature into a more tolerant, welcoming metropolis.

Historian David McCullough said Kennedy “spoke to us in that now-distant time past, with a vitality and sense of purpose such as we had never heard before.”

Kennedy “was young to be president, but it didn’t seem so if you were younger still,” McCullough added. “He was ambitious to make it a better world, and so were we.”

Past anniversaries in Dealey Plaza have been marked mostly by loose gatherings of the curious and conspiracy-minded, featuring everything from makeshift memorials and marching drummers to freewheeling discussions about

others who might have been in on the killing.

On Friday, the mayor unveiled a plaque with remarks the president was supposed to deliver later that day in Dallas.

Rawlings’ comments were followed by a mournful tolling of bells and a moment of silence at the precise time that Kennedy was shot.

Elsewhere, flags were lowered to half-staff and wreaths were laid at Kennedy’s presidential library and at a waterfront memorial near the family’s Cape Cod compound.

Shortly after sunrise, Attorney General Eric Holder paid his respects at Kennedy’s recently refurbished grave at Arlington National Cemetery.

About an hour later, Jean Kennedy Smith, 85, the last surviving Kennedy sibling, laid a wreath at her brother’s grave, joined by about 10 members of the Kennedy family.

In Boston, Gov. Deval Patrick and Maj. Gen. Scott Rice of the Massachusetts National Guard endured a heavy rain during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Kennedy statue on the front lawn of the Statehouse.

The statue, dedicated in 1990, has been largely off-limits to public viewing since security procedures put in place after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But the area was opened to visitors Friday.

The tributes extended across the Atlantic to Kennedy’s ancestral home in Ireland.

In Dublin, a half-dozen Irish soldiers toting guns with brilliantly polished bayonets formed an honor guard outside the U.S. Embassy as the American flag was lowered to half-staff.

A lone trumpeter played “The Last Post,” the traditional British salute to war dead.

A 3,700-year-old wine cellar still holding vestiges of the drink has been unearthed in the Near East, potentially offering modern man a true taste of the past.

The excavation in the ancient city of Tel Kabri, in Israel uncovered 40 jars in sizes that could have filled about 3,000 modern wine bottles.

The residue suggested they once contained both white and red wine, made with additives that included juniper berries, cinnamon bark, mint and myrtle.

The group had been digging since 2005 at the site, believed to be an ancient Canaanite palace and decorated with Aegean-style frescoes, the only such art to be found in Israel so far, according to a presentation Friday in Baltimore at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research.

“We’re thinking it’s a palatial wine cellar,” said Eric Cline, one of the archaeologists and the chairman of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at George Washington University. Two-thousand liters of wine isn’t enough for the general population.

“It’s just enough for the ruler and his household.”

Researchers located the cellar near the ruins of what was likely a banquet hall. The hall and cellar were destroyed in what may have been an earthquake.

Andrew Koh, an assistant professor of classical studies at Brandeis University, extracted the residue at the site and brought the samples to analyze at a lab at the Waltham, Mass.-based university. The consistency of the leftovers suggested the wine mix was made using a closely followed recipe.

The additives were probably there to preserve the wine, and some came from non-local plants, suggesting thriving trade routes.

It was “a very luxurious drink reserved for special occasions,” said Assaf Yasur-Landau, the chairman of the department of maritime civilizations at the University of Haifa, and co-director of the excavation.

The recipe was similar to medicinal wines used in ancient Egypt, the researchers said. “We can imagine it was like if you take a resinated wine and pour cough syrup in,” YasurLandau said.

The archaeologists had to work quickly to get the jugs out before winter, when the weather likely would destroy them. Working in two teams, they finished just before the scheduled end of the dig.

There may be more wine containers yet to be found. A few days before the dig ended, the team discovered two doors leading out of the wine cellar, which may point toward additional storage rooms.

WASHINGTON — The company that employed the Washington Navy Yard shooter pulled his access to classified material for two days in August when mental health problems became evident, but restored it quickly and never told Navy officials about the withdrawal.

An initial Navy review revealed that the Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based company, The Experts, ordered computer contractor Aaron Alexis back to Washington, D.C., after a police incident in Rhode Island in August, according to senior U.S. officials.

Less than six weeks later, the former Navy reservist gunned down 12 civilian workers in a Navy Yard building, and police fatally shot him.

Disputes persisted on climate financing. Rich countries have promised to help developing nations make their economies greener and to adapt to rising sea levels, desertification and other climate impacts.

Island nations that fear being submerged as the seas rise also demanded a new “loss and damage mechanism” to deal with weather disasters made worse by climate change.

Developed countries resisted that proposal, fearing they would be held liable for damage caused by extreme weather events.

FCC chairman opposes in-flight calls

By Scott Mayerowitz

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A day after setting off an uproar among travelers opposed to the idea of in-flight phone calls, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission Chairman backtracked, saying he personally isn’t in favor of calls on planes.

“We understand that many passengers would prefer that voice calls not be made on airplanes. I feel that way myself,” Chairman Tom Wheeler said in a Friday statement.

The role of the FCC, he added, is to advise if there is a safety issue with using phones on planes. Amending the agency’s rules “will be only a technical advisory.” The decision to allow calls will ultimately rest with the airlines, Wheeler emphasized.

Just three weeks into his job, Wheeler struck a nerve with travelers Thursday when he said it was time for the agency to review

“our outdated and restrictive rules” about mobile services on airplanes. The rules have been in place for 22 years. A tentative agenda for the FCC’s Dec. 12 meeting, posted Thursday, listed the proposed revision. It was the first the public heard of the change.

Wheeler seemingly underestimated the public outrage and media attention that such a move would generate.

“It struck a nerve … their phones have been ringing,” said Craig Aaron, president of Free Press, a consumer advocacy group. “It’s a lot of attention for an agency that usually doesn’t get that much attention.”

By Friday afternoon, Wheeler’s language was much more subdued. The new message: “The job of the FCC with respect to this issue is limited to issues related to communications technology.”

Wheeler emphasized that “our proposal does not impose any requirement that airlines should provide voice connectivity.” And to

hammer home the point, the word not was underlined.

“We believe that airlines are best positioned to make such decisions,” he said in a statement. Requests for an interview were declined by his spokesman.

Most airlines have said they would study the issue and survey their customers. Delta Air Lines was the only carrier to outright reject voice calls, regardless of what the FCC decides.

A petition opposing the FCC’s move posted on the White House website attracted nearly 1,250 signatures by Friday afternoon.

Posted by a self-described frequent flier from Richmond, Va., it said: “Forcing [passengers] to listen to the inane, loud, private, personal conversations of a stranger is perhaps the worst idea the FCC has come up with to date. … I think the administration needs to nip this in the bud.”

Snow: Ski basin reports 18-inch base Friday

Slams: Downs contract among controversies Continued from Page A-1 a reporter from Chicago, mentions positive stories about Martinez in the national media. Then he adds, “But back home, some of her key allies were finding that courage in short supply. They had begun to see Martinez not as a fresh-faced technocrat, but as a callow figure who had placed far too much trust in a single political aide, the 39-year-old McCleskey, whom many here view as the ‘Karl Rove of New Mexico.’ Yes, he discovered her and transformed her from a county district attorney into a national force.

But these Martinez allies say that his mercenary, dog-eat-dog style of politics now superseded the act of governing, and that he had effectively walled off any other voices from pricking the governor’s eardrums, let alone her conscience.”

The piece mentions some specific controversies involving McCleskey.

One controversy involves a state contract for the operation of The Downs Racetrack & Casino at the state fairgrounds in Albuquerque, which was awarded to a Martinez campaign contributor. Martinez and her spokesmen repeatedly have said The Downs contract was on the up and up, but the governor’s critics have called it bid-rigging, and at least two people said the FBI has questioned them about the racetrack deal. No charges have arisen from the matter, but the racetrack controversy prompted Tom Tinnin, a longtime GOP activist and Martinez appointee, to resign from the state Board of Finance, which had to approve the lease.

The criticism of McCleskey in the story came not from Democrats, but from Republicans. Libit talks to several Republican critics of McCleskey, including former state GOP Chairman Harvey Yates. The story quotes a letter from Yates to Martinez that says, “Not many voters remember voting for Jay McCleskey for governor. There are many who hope that you withdraw the reins of power from his hands and limit his involvement to a proper political role while making it clear that you run the government and he does not.”

In the story, McCleskey responds, “As is the job of any political consultant, my role is not to be loved, but rather to be effective at winning campaigns and garnering support for the policies pursued by those who have been elected. I am proud of that record of success, and the petty whining, sniping, and resentment of malcontents doesn’t bother me. … Any leader who breaks the mold and challenges the status quo, like Gov. Martinez does, will face criticism, even from within her own party.”

Reaction to the story split along predictable lines.

One Martinez loyalist on Twitter trashed Libit as a “liberal columnist” who merely reprinted Martinez critic Joe Monahan’s “tired blog material.”

But libertarian Republican Aaron Henry Diaz tweeted a link to the article saying, “Think you know New Mexico politics? So it begins … the rest of the story.”

by Thanksgiving,” she said Friday, “but that was the last time.”

The chances of Ski Santa Fe finally getting a holiday opening may be helped slightly by the fact that Thanksgiving 2013 falls later than usual on the November calendar.

Taos Ski Valley, which also plans to open next Thursday, reported Friday morning that it had received a foot of new snow over the previous 24 hours, resulting in a 33-inch base.

Chip Storm, owner of Ski Tech in Santa Fe, said his customers are excited and are getting their skis and boards ready to hit the slopes. Ski Tech specializes in ski, snowboard and snowshoe rentals and services.

“I’d be incredibly shocked if they didn’t [open],” Storm said of Ski Santa Fe. “Generally, other surrounding ski areas like Wolf Creek, for example, open with a 15-inch-plus base. I think Ski Santa Fe has met and surpassed that mark. I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t open.”

Ski Santa Fe’s website early Friday reported 6 inches of fresh powder in a 12-hour period, which brought the base to a depth of 18 inches. With storm conditions expected to stick around, that number could climb.

“We have been making snow in preparation for a Thanksgiving opening, and Mother Nature has been helping us out with this storm,” DeJoia said.

The ski area will make an official decision Monday on when it will open its slopes and how much of the ski area will be available to skiers.

Ski area staff will be selling season passes and discount cards for the upcoming season at the REI store in the Santa Fe Railyard through Sunday.

With the Weather Service predicting a sunny, 45-degree Thanksgiving Day, doing a few runs on fresh snow may turn out to be the perfect way for local skiers to work off that extra slice of pie.

Gonzales said in an email. “I think that because Archbishop [Michael] Sheehan is apparently retiring within the next year to two years, he would seemingly like this issue to be brushed under the rug like it has been casually done for so many years. It is sickening that there is no concern for the people who make up our Church nor the direction of the Cathedral Basilica — the Mother Church of the Archdiocese! It seems they would rather be in charge of a sinking ship.”

Ortega, 48, initially declined to comment on Gonzales’ allegations of improprieties, although he referred to them during Mass on Oct. 27 and also sent out a Facebook invitation that week, asking for letters of support. On Nov. 17, he read portions of the letter clearing him during the Sunday Mass at the cathedral.

In the letter, the chancellor said, “The general consensus from those interviewed is that you are very friendly towards the youth, and there was no indication of any inappropriate touching.”

But Cannon also wrote, “I would ask you to be cautious about any actions, especially around youth, which although completely innocent may be perceived by others looking on as a violation of personal boundaries.”

The letter said that none of those interviewed during the investigation “expressed feelings of harassment, intimidation, bullying or a hostile work environment.”

Some former parishioners and employees of the cathedral interviewed by The New Mexican, however, charged that more than half the cathedral staff, most of them older people, were fired by Ortega or prompted to resign, and that his focus on young people had alienated many older parishioners.

Ortega said in an email Friday downsizing the staff was necessary for financial reasons and that he has not discriminated against older parishioners.

“Positions were eliminated, people were not terminated,” he wrote. “Age was and never is an issue.

I never intentionally ignore anyone. Ministry to the youth has been an important part of my ministry that I SHARE along side with other adults in our faith community. Never alone.”

Ortega, a respected clergyman appointed rector of the cathedral in June 2012, was the pastor of Santa María de la Paz Catholic Community for a 12 years before that.

“There will always be those who will find something wrong and misinterpret my actions or choose to see things in a negative way,” he wrote. “For every one of them, there are hundreds more who understand and trust my work and are wanting to share in this great ministry.”

Dinosaur: Scientists believe Siats sat atop food chain Continued from Page A-1 on a striped tablecloth in the museum’s back office into a predatory behemoth.

But mostly, it takes science, the kind of knowledge that can extrapolate from a hipbone’s telltale notch and distinctive openings in vertebrae to determine that this was a member of the allosauroids’ megaraptor subgroup — and “the top dog in his neighborhood, so to speak,” Makovicky said.

In 2008, Zanno spotted the first of the bones on a hillside in Utah’s Cedar Mountain Formation, days before the group’s relatively unfruitful expedition was to end and as “morale was low,” said Zanno, now director of paleontology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

Friday’s publication in Nature Communications of Zanno’s and Makovicky’s paper, “Neovenatorid theropods are apex predators in the Late Cretaceous of North America,” marks the official unveiling of the new species.

“The gist of this paper is about the changing of the guard among the top apex predators,” said University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno, who read an advance copy of the paper. And while the couple of dozen bones do not include the ideal full-skull find, it is “very significant,” he said.

“It’s from a really poorly known time period out West.

You need these flagpoles,” Sereno said. ‘They may not be pretty. You’re not going to mount [the Siats bones] on a stick. But it’s enough” to further the developing belief that “pretyrannosaur giants” had radiated across the globe.

Makovicky elaborated.

“It’s more than just a new dinosaur,” he said. “It’s the first evidence we have of a whole new group of dinosaurs in North America. And it challenges a view that was common maybe a decade or so ago where we thought, ‘OK, you know, North America, rising sea levels, the species seem to be very unique to North America and only remotely related to [those on] other continents.’ That’s slowly being challenged. This is another piece of evidence saying, ‘No, dinosaurs were actually distributing themselves pretty widely across the continents.’ ” The S. meekerorum announcement follows one earlier this month that Lythronax argestes, a smaller T. rex ancestor from 80 million years ago, had been discovered in southern Utah, proving that such predators had been around some 10 million years earlier than previously known.

Because of its size and the

history of top predators elsewhere, Zanno and Makovicky theorize, Siats was atop a food chain that included what their paper calls “small-bodied tyrannosauroids,” T. rex’s ancestors, which hadn’t evolved to the size and dominance they would reach before dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago.

Siats, though, isn’t related to the tyrannosauroid family but rather to the allosauroids. Its best-known relative might be the Giganotosaurus, found in South America.

Makovicky and Zanno chose the discovery site in Utah’s Cedar Mountain Formation, in Emery County in the east-central part of the state, because it gave access to a rarely explored time period.

The trade-off is that because the area was a lush, wet environment similar to today’s Mississippi River Delta, Makovicky said, skeletons there tend to be less well-preserved.

“The one unfortunate thing is that complete skeletons are very rare in this [area],” Makovicky said. “But the positive side seems to be that when you do find something, there’s a very

Lis Meeker. The fellowship that brought Zanno to the Field was named for her late father, Amoco geologist John Caldwell Meeker.

Lis Meeker just missed helping uncover the specimen in the field: She was a volunteer on that dig before peeling off days before the discovery.

Her mother, Withrow Meeker, a longtime volunteer in the museum’s anthropology department, said learning the dinosaur was being named for the family was special.

“Pete Makovicky just casually told daughter Lis and me as we were wandering down the hall to his office,” she recalled. “And she and I both just welled up with tears.”

There’ll be more naming in the future. From the same site, Makovicky said he and Zanno have two more dinosaur species “in the pipeline,” en route, like Siats, to making a return to the known world.

At least 48 dead in supermarket roof collapse RIGA, Latvia — The death toll rose to 48 on Friday at a supermarket in the Latvian capital Riga, a day after a large section of its roof collapsed.

The Maxima supermarket in central Riga was filled with shoppers when the roof caved in Thursday evening.

Latvian media reported that dozens more victims might be found. Officials said the number of people missing was unclear.

By 1 p.m. local time, just 900 of 1,500 square meters of the affected area had been cleared, fire brigade spokesman Normunds Plegermanis told the BNS news agency.

LOCAL NEWS Home burglaries surge in October

By Tom Sharpe

The New Mexican

Despite a recent uptick in residential burglaries in the city, overall property crime numbers for 2013 continue to trail last year’s numbers, according to statistics released Friday by the Santa Fe Police Department.

The numbers show 93 residential burglaries in October alone — the most for any month so far in 2013 and more than double the 45 reported during the previous month or the 40 reported in October 2012.

However, the year-to-date totals are still 25 percent below the same 10 months of 2012, thanks to a dramatic dip in home burglaries reported last spring.

Other crimes that have seen a year-to-date decrease from last year include auto burglaries, down

4 percent, and attempted burglaries, down 40 percent. In contrast, commercial burglaries are up 12 percent so far this year, and unlawful entries are up 44 percent.

The total for all categories of property crime in the city is down by 14 percent.

Police Chief Ray Rael said he was concerned about the increase in residential burglaries between September and October of this year, but he added that fluctuations are to be expected.

“The important thing is the numbers continue to trend downward, and I know our recent arrests, intensified efforts by my department and valued assistance from the community will ensure that trend continues,” he said in a news release.

Police spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said the department is continuing to attack Santa Fe’s

persistent property crime problem through undercover work and close patrols in crime-ridden residential areas, often using bicycles.

“The bicycle officers were able to squeeze in those alleys and different crevices, and oftentimes suspects don’t expect to see a police officer on a bicycle,” she said. “We’ve been able to stop a lot of those potential attempted burglaries.”

The news release listed among the reasons for the dropping crime rate the arrest of burglary suspect Kenneth L. Martinez, 26, who police arrested Wednesday evening on drug charges. Martinez’s girlfriend, Melissa Louise Carrillo, 20, also described in the release as a burglary suspect, was arrested Nov. 13 and remains in jail.

The news release warns residents to be wary of potential burglaries during the holidays, when presents or other items may be

vulnerable. Police warned people leaving their homes for the holidays to lock windows and doors, install motion-activated or timercontrolled lights, have neighbors collect mail and avoid advertising absences on social media.

The statement advised shoppers to never leave valuables in vehicles, adding, “Recently the department charged a burglar for breaking into cars simply to collect change left in cup holders. Always put newly purchased items in the trunk or out of sight, and park vehicles in a well-lit area. Do not leave GPS units or purses/wallets inside vehicles. Even leaving the mounts or suction cups for a GPS on the windshield can alert a burglar there may be a unit inside and entice them to break in.”

T

raveling about New Mexico, I keep running into old-timers who once lived in the coal-mining town of Dawson. It was located in a scenic canyon west of Raton.

Today, Dawson’s surviving population is scattered to the winds and what little remains of the community is spoken of as a ghost town.

One day, while I was getting a haircut in Las Cruces, the barber told me that he had started life as a Dawson miner. “That was right after World War II,” he said, “and the wages were good. But in 1949, we went out on strike and closed down the mines.

Marc They never reopened.”

Simmons The barber’s comment aroused my curiosity, Trail Dust and since that day, I’ve collected bits and pieces of Dawson history. It is a story that sounds more appropriate for a town in West Virginia or Kentucky than New Mexico.

Rancher John B. Dawson started it all when he began running cattle on the site in the 1860s.

He found an open seam of coal on the hillside

and removed enough for his own heating and cooking, and gave away a small surplus to neighbors. Then in 1901, the Dawson Fuel Co. bought him out, ran in a railroad from Tucumcari and started mining in a big way.

The coal deposits proved so large that Phelps Dodge Corp. took an interest and purchased the property in 1906. Miners flocked in, among them Italians, Greeks and Slavs.

As the mines expanded, the town grew into a

prosperous little city of more than 9,000.

There was a handsome business district with a brick department store employing 60 workers. Entertainment was available at a spacious opera house, ball park, swimming pool, golf course and bowling alley. The miners lived in well-built residences on treelined streets, enjoyed fine schools and were cared for at a modern hospital.

Resolution would let city voters select charter changes

By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

If the City Council adopts a draft resolution released Friday by the City Attorney’s Office, Santa Fe voters will be able to pick and choose from a menu of proposed charter amendments on the March 4 municipal ballot.

At the last council meeting, councilors wrestled over whether to lump together a series of proposals for revamping the role of Santa Fe’s mayor, or allow voters to consider each proposal separately.

The draft resolution, scheduled for a Dec. 11 vote by the council, lists 16 separate ballot questions, including more than a half-dozen aimed at changing the mayor’s job — now a part-time role that involves presiding over the policymaking body and ceremonial functions — into a full-time executive position with direct supervisory authority over top city administrators.

With a couple of exceptions, most of the amendments creating a strong-mayor form of government wouldn’t take effect until March 2018, if they’re approved by voters.

The document includes several other policy questions suggested by an appointed commission and elected officials, including such issues as campaign contribution limits, an independent citizens’ redistricting commission and establishment of an audit committee.

As currently proposed, city voters would be asked to vote for or against the following propositions to amend the city charter: u Include a provision in the environmental protection policy that would require the council to protect, preserve and enhance the city’s water resources through regulation and conservation and by relating development to water availability. u Establish a policy on neighborhood preservation. u Establish a policy in support of local business and the rights of all to earn a living wage. u Establish an independent citizens’ redistricting commission to review and revise City Council district boundaries at least every 10 years following the census. u Require the council to create an ordinance that limits the amount of campaign contributions accepted by candidates. u Mandate that the council create an ordinance to ensure the city publicize in a timely manner the uses of revenue from any proposed tax increase or bond measure that requires voter approval. u Mandate that the council create an ordinance that establishes an independent audit committee. u Allow the mayor to have a vote on all matters that come before the council, effective May 5, 2014. Currently, the mayor only votes in the case of a tie on the eight-member council or when more than a simple majority of councilors is required to pass a measure. u Establish that the mayoral position will be a fulltime position, effective March 12, 2018. u Establish that a full-time mayor will earn a salary of $74,000 until an independent salary commission is established and sets a new salary for the mayor, effective March 12, 2018. Currently, Santa Fe’s part-time mayor and councilors are paid $29,500 a year. u Allow the mayor to have supervisory authority over the city manager, city attorney and city clerk and the authority to fire those officials without council consideration, effective March 12, 2018. The mayor would continue to need council approval to fill such positions. u Remove a provision that requires the mayor to perform other duties compatible with the nature of the office as the council requires, effective May 5, 2104. u Require the mayor to work with city staff to prepare an annual budget for review and approval by the Finance Committee and the council, effective March 12, 2018. u Require the mayor to identify his or her legislative agenda for each upcoming year and require the council to consider the mayor’s legislative agenda, effective March 2018. u Mandate that the city manager have the necessary administrative and managerial skills to manage the municipality and the authority to hire and fire all city employees, except for the city attorney and city clerk, effective March 12, 2018. u Provide that the city manager may be removed by the mayor or by a vote of six councilors at a regularly scheduled meeting, effective March 12, 2018.

Bushee check dispute puts more attention on public financing

By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

A former campaign manager for Santa Fe mayoral candidate Patti Bushee apparently plans to file a complaint Monday alleging the city councilor violated the city’s public campaign finance law.

Bushee, who denies any wrongdoing, said Friday the looming complaint points to yet another shortcoming of the city’s campaign finance code, which is undergoing its first test in a mayoral election.

The ordinance says mayoral candidates who want to qualify for public campaign funds can spend up to $6,000 in seed money contributions. And candidates seeking public campaign money are required to sign a statement under oath that they have made no expenditures “from any source other than seed

money contributions.”

Tarin Nix, who became Bushee’s campaign manager in May, told City Clerk Yolanda Vigil in an email Tuesday that the Bushee campaign asked her Nov. 15 to Patti Bushee “swap checks” for a $1,750 payment she had received from Bushee’s personal account in June “so my payment was noted as coming from Bushee’s seed money account.”

Bushee said she wrote the June check to Nix before she decided to seek public financing and that her campaign was trying to comply with the ordinance.

“It’s clear that the code did not anticipate this situation,” Bushee said.

In the email to the city clerk, Nix said Bushee hired her to run what was then a privately funded mayoral campaign.

About a month later, Bushee parted ways with Nix, saying she was considering a publicly financed campaign and no longer needed Nix’s services, according to the email. Nix received a $1,750 cashier’s check from Bushee on June 19.

“This past Friday, November 15, I received a call from Joe Lennihan, on behalf of the Bushee campaign, asking me if I would swap checks, so my payment was noted as coming from the Bushee’s seed money account,” Nix wrote in the email to Vigil. “I am seeking your opinion on whether or not it is acceptable for me to accept a second check in lieu of already previously receiving a check back in June?”

Vigil responded Wednesday, saying she couldn’t advise Nix on the matter.

However, the clerk told Nix she could file a complaint with the city’s Ethics and Campaign Review Board and pro-

Section editor: Howard Houghton, 986-3015, hhoughton@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Kristina Dunham, kdunham@sfnewmexican.com

vided her a complaint form.

Vigil said it would be her “working presumption” that Nix didn’t wish to pursue the complaint if she hadn’t filed one by Dec. 2.

Nix referred inquiries to her attorney, David Garcia, who said he expected a complaint to be filed no later than Monday. “We’re working on it as we speak,” he said.

Garcia, who has previously served on the Ethics and Campaign Review Board, declined to disclose what violations would be alleged. “I’d rather just wait to give you a copy of it right after we file it,” he said. “I just want to make sure everything is appropriate.”

Nix, president of NuPolitics LLC, a Texas-based political campaign and business development company, also served as campaign manager for state Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard. She is currently employed by Working

America, which seeks to extend the city’s minimum-wage rules to Santa Fe County. Her name and contact information appear repeatedly on the Facebook page of the Santa Fe Living Wage Network. Among the founders of the network are Morty Simon and Carol Oppenheimer, retired labor lawyers who are supporting another mayoral candidate, Javier Gonzales.

Oppenheimer said she met Nix through the Garcia Richard campaign and referred her to Working America as a possible candidate to run the minimum-wage campaign in the county after Bushee let Nix go from her campaign.

“Let me just be very clear with you,” Oppenheimer said. “I have had nothing to do with what Tarin has put out.

But I will say that I know Tarin, and

Check: Code creates confusion Continued from Page A-6

Dawson miners load coal underground circa 1921. Disasters in the mine devastated the town, first in 1913, and then in 1923. PALACE OF THE GOVERNORS PHOTO ARCHIVES (NMHM/DCA), NEGATIVE NO. 005224

Dawson: Town razed years ago Continued from Page A-6 Owing to the isolation and to the fact that everyone in town was connected to the mines, community spirit flourished.

Everything shut down when the high school football team was playing, and it won a number of championships. To many who had been born and raised there, Dawson seemed like a small Eden hidden in a remote corner of New Mexico.

But all mining towns live under the shadow of potential disaster, and this one was no different. The company had worked to install the latest safety measures, yet still tragedy struck — first on Oct. 22, 1913.

Just two days before, the state inspector had declared the main Stage Canyon mine “free from traces of gas and in splendid general condition.”

That morning, 280 men went into the shaft. At 3 in the afternoon came an explosion. The Raton newspaper described it this way: “The first sound was like a sharp rifle shot, immediately followed by a prolonged muffled roar, and a distant vibration of the earth for several hundred feet. Seconds later flame flared out of the tunnel for a distance of a hundred feet.”

The entire town knew at once what had happened. Housewives grabbed their children and ran frantically up the narrow road to the mine. Ropes were stretched at once to prevent them from interfering with rescue efforts.

Work continued through the night under lights, and a few miners were found and brought out alive. Two of the rescuers were killed by gas. The total death toll was 263 men, a loss keenly felt in the tight-knit community.

All of the bodies were buried in the town cemetery, and a gray iron cross marked each grave.

The company gave each widow $2,000 and offered to pay travel fare to any who wished to return to relatives in Europe.

A second major disaster occurred 10 years later in 1923. A coal train derailed near a mine entrance, and a spark from the accident touched off the blast.

This time 120 men died.

Enes Covert was a schoolgirl at the time of the accident, and

I’m very glad she’s here, and she wouldn’t have been if Patti hadn’t originally decided to run a privately financed campaign.”

Bushee, whose father passed away Thursday and is out of town, said Friday her campaign tried to reconcile the payment to Nix after she decided to pursue a publicly financed campaign.

“We did the best we could with the circumstances we had and the interpretation of the code and the advice we were given,” she said. “There is nothing untoward from my campaign’s part.”

Lennihan, an attorney and Bushee campaign volunteer, told The New Mexican on Thursday night that Bushee had hired Nix before the candidate decided to pursue public financing. “She didn’t decide that until sometime later,” he said.

After about a month, Bushee decided Nix “wasn’t a good fit” and paid her for her services, Lennihan said.

“Even though she paid Tarin for her time, when she became a publicly financed candidate, that payment has to hit against the seed money account, otherwise it’s a thirdparty payment,” he said. “So we issued a second check to Tarin out of the seed money account.”

Lennihan said he asked Nix to swap checks because he didn’t think she was “entitled to a windfall.” The Bushee campaign wanted Nix, who already had cashed the first check, to return the money to the campaign, which would then issue her a new check.

“She’s getting paid twice because of the uncertainty

she remembers it well. “I was in publishing reprints from among school when a noise like thunder the more than 1,800 columns he startled us from our seats. Nearly produced during his career. everyone in town went over to see if they could help, and I will never forget that scene.

“Families were gathered at the entrance of the mine crying, screaming and milling around.

Children were asking, ‘Is my daddy alive?’ and wives and mothers could only pray that Angela Ortiz Flores LISW their loved ones would be safe.”

of how the public finance code works,” Lennihan said. “There’s no reason for her to be paid twice. That’s why I asked her to swap the checks out.”

Lennihan said the public campaign finance code puts candidates in a difficult position. “It’s just one of the weird doughnut holes in the public finance code.

If you proceed to start to run as a candidate but not as a publicly financed candidate, then you have to deal with whatever happens in that doughnut, which is what happened to her,” Lennihan said, referring to Bushee.

“The only way you can fix that is to go back and debit your seed money account for any payments that you made before you became a publicly financed candidate so that you stay within the limits,” he said.

Jim Harrington, a retired attorney and state chairman of Common Cause New Mexico,

a nonpartisan watchdog group, said Thursday that the Bushee campaign sought his advice last week.

Harrington, who has worked extensively on the city’s public campaign finance code, said Bushee should have asked Nix to wait for payment but that Nix was apparently insistent on getting paid right away.

“I’m not sure we even have a violation,” he said, “but if we do, it’s a really technical one that doesn’t rise to the level of going against the purposes of public financing.”

Said Harrington: “They did the best thing they could last week: Pay it out of seed money and report it that way, and if this person wants to keep both checks, well, tough.”

Do sweet drinks raise cancer, dementia risk?

By Jessica Griggs New Scientist

Glugging lots of sugary drinks won’t just make you fat, it might also lead to changes in the brain that have been linked to cancer and Alzheimer’s disease — at least in rats.

This finding comes from the first analysis of how sugary drinks affect proteins in the brain. It showed that 20 percent of the proteins produced in a brain region related to decision-making were different in rats that drank sugary drinks from those of rats that had been given water.

It is well known that drinking sugar-sweetened drinks is linked to obesity, diabetes and increased risk of cardiovascular problems.

A recent estimate put the global number of deaths associated with soft drinks at 184,000 a year.

But the effects of sugar-rich drinks on the brain have received much less attention. “For many

people around the world, soft drinks are their sole source of liquid, or at least they provide a very high proportion of their daily calories,” says Jane Franklin of the behavioral neuropharmacology lab at Macquarie University in Sydney, who carried out the new analysis. “We know that soft drinks are bad for the body, so it’s reasonable to assume that they aren’t doing anything good for your brain, either.”

To confirm that assumption, Franklin and her colleague Jennifer Cornish gave 24 adult rats either water or a solution of water containing 10 percent sugar — proportional to what’s in a typical can of soda — for 26 days.

For the following seven days, both groups were given only water. At the end of that time, the rats that had drunk the sugary drink were significantly more hyperactive — spending lots more time moving around — than the

control group. “Hyperactivity is a physical sign that something unusual is happening in the brain,” Franklin says. It is probably a reflection of changes being made to return the system back to its pre-sugar state, after it had adjusted to prolonged sugar consumption, she says.

To find out what was going on, the team looked at the rats’ orbital frontal cortex, the part of the brain that sits behind the eyes. An enzyme was used to snip proteins from this tissue into their constituent peptides. These fragments were then analyzed using a mass spectrometer, which identifies the peptides, and therefore the proteins, present. This was then compared to a database of the proteins you would expect to see in a healthy rat of this species.

Of the 1,373 proteins identified in both sets of rats, 290 were altered in those that drank sugary drinks but not those that drank

water. Some of the proteins were present in greater numbers, and some in fewer numbers than expected.

While more work is needed to determine the exact effect of these changes, just under half of the altered proteins are known to be involved in the cellular function of the brain, including determining cellular life span, communication and DNA repair. Thirty percent of the changed proteins are linked with conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia.

“The results are telling us that sugar exposure has the potential to alter a lot of diverse biological processes and play a role in neurological disorders — much more than we expected,” Franklin says. “We can’t say from this work that these changes are causing the associated diseases, but it’s a warning that we need to look more closely at the link.”

Biggest blast ever observed zipped harmlessly by Earth

By Seth Borenstein

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON stronomers call it the monster. It was the biggest and brightest cosmic explosion ever witnessed. Had it been closer, Earth would have been toast.

Orbiting telescopes got the fireworks show of a lifetime last spring when they spotted what is known as a gamma ray burst in a faroff galaxy.

The only bigger display astronomers know of was the Big Bang that created the universe — and no one, of course, was around to witness that.

“This burst was a once-in-a-century cosmic event,” NASA astrophysics chief Paul Hertz said at a news conference Thursday.

But because this blast was 3.7 billion lightyears away, mankind was spared. In fact, no one on Earth could even see it with the naked eye.

A gamma ray burst happens when a massive star dies, collapses into a brand-new black hole, explodes in what’s called a supernova and ejects energetic radiation. The radiation is as bright as can be as it travels across the universe at the speed of light.

A planet caught in one of these bursts would lose its atmosphere instantly and would be left a burnt cinder, astronomers say.

Scientists might be able to detect warning signs of an impending gamma ray burst. But if one were headed for Earth, there wouldn’t be anything anybody could do about it.

NASA telescopes in orbit have been seeing

A

bursts for more than two decades, spotting one every couple of days. But this one, witnessed on April 27, set records, according to four studies published Thursday in the journal Science.

It flooded NASA instruments with five times the energy of its nearest competitor, a 1999 blast, said University of Alabama at Huntsville astrophysicist Rob Preece, author of one of the studies.

It started with a star that had 20 to 30 times the mass of our sun but was only a couple of times wider, so it was incredibly dense. It exploded in a certain violent way.

In general, gamma ray bursts are “the most titanic explosions in the universe,” and this one was so big that some of the telescope instruments hit their peak, Preece said. It was far stronger and lasted longer than previous ones.

“I call it the monster,” Preece said. In fact, one of the other studies, not written by Preece, used the word “monster” in its title, unusual language for a scientific report.

One of the main reasons this was so bright was that relative to the thousands of other gamma ray bursts astronomers have seen, the monster was pretty close by cosmic standards. A light-year is almost 6 trillion miles.

Most of the bursts NASA telescopes have seen have been twice as distant as this one.

Other explosions could be this big, but they are so much farther away, they don’t seem so bright when they reach Earth, the studies’ authors say.

Astronomers say it is incredibly unlikely that a gamma ray burst — especially a big one like this — could go off in our galaxy, near us.

Harvard’s Avi Loeb, who wasn’t part of the studies, put the odds at at least 1 in 10 million.

Our galaxy doesn’t have many of the type

of star that lends itself to gamma ray bursts, said Charles Dermer, a co-author of the studies and an astrophysicist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.

“The chance of anything happening and being dangerous is virtually nil,” Dermer said.

Also, because a burst is concentrated like a focused searchlight or a death beam, it has to be pointing at you to be seen and to be dangerous.

“Either it’s pointed at us or it’s not,” Preece said. “If it’s not, yay! Civilization survives and we see maybe a supernova. If it were pointed at us, then it matters very much how far away it is in our galaxy. If it’s in our local arm, well, we had a good run.”

Some theorize that a mass extinction on Earth 450 million years ago was caused by a gamma ray burst in a nearby part of our galaxy, but Dermer said that’s unlikely.

We don’t see gamma ray bursts from the surface of Earth because the atmosphere obscures them and because most of their light is the type we cannot see with our eyes.

That’s why NASA has satellites that look for them.

This burst was so bright telescopes on Earth saw a brief flash in the constellation Leo. For scientists, this was a wow moment.

“These are really neat explosions,” said Peter Michelson, a Stanford physicist who is the chief scientist for one of the instruments on a NASA gamma ray burst-spotting telescope. “If you like fireworks, you can’t beat these. Other than the Big Bang itself, these are the biggest there are.”

The burst “is part of the cycle of birth and life and death in the universe,” Michelson said. “You and I are made of the stuff that came from a supernova.”

Science crucial to meeting water demand

I

n 1791, Congress asked then-Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson to look into an idea for making salty ocean water drinkable as a safety measure for stranded oceangoing sailors.

President George Washington was skeptical of the proposal that desalination instructions be printed on the back of permits all ships needed to leave from American ports.

Jefferson elaborated on the plan, suggesting that various distillation schemes might be tested during voyages at sea, and then he encouraged reports from sailors that would help build knowledge about which techniques worked best.

More than 200 years later, the Roger United States and the world have Snodgrass come a long way on the problem of Science Matters making seawater drinkable, while the techniques have evolved to include large-scale reverse osmosis and impermeable membrane filtration. In a study organized by Sandia National Laboratories in 2003, “Desalination and Water Purification Technology Roadmap,” an executive committee report estimated that “assuming continued per capita water use, 16 trillion gallons per year will be required in the United States by 2020 for municipal and light industrial uses.”

About a week after Typhoon Haiyan slammed through the Philippines earlier this month, National Public Radio filed a report on the unfolding relief effort from aboard the USS George Washington, one of 10 American aircraft carriers that are powered by nuclear reactors. “They can also desalinate a tremendous amount of water to get it to people who have nothing to drink,” the report said, highlighting the vital necessity most in demand during disasters on this scale.

Rarely mentioned, if at all, during the many reports on the ravages of another record-breaking storm is that many parts of the planet are approaching disaster levels of stress from declining fresh water supplies.

“The fact is 97.2 percent of all the water on the planet is saline,” said G. Wade Miller, executive director of the WateReuse Association and a veteran of major water campaigns and research efforts in recent decades.

“Another 2.1 percent is tied up on the polar ice caps, so 7 billion people have been sustaining themselves off of 0.7 percent of the world water supply,” he said, an alarming disproportion to people who work in this area, but a concept that seems to escape the public at large.

There is plenty of water on Earth. But it’s not available at a sufficient level of purity where and when it’s needed.

“Basically, it’s going to take energy to produce water and water to produce energy, and there’s a lot of water that’s going to be needed by power plants to satisfy demand in the next 25 years and most of those power plants are going to be in places where there’s not much water,” Miller said.

There are also climate impacts associated with the heavy carbon footprint of the considerable power generation required for water conversion, even as the cost per gallon has been slashed in the last 20 years.

Despite the head start provided by visionaries like Jefferson, seawater desalination still faces many environmental challenges. The last desalination plant in the U.S. was built in Tampa Bay, Fla., after a long and controversial prelude. A plant in Carlsbad, Calif., also took 10 years to get approvals and the company, going through a similar process in Huntington Beach, Calif., withdrew its application on Nov. 14 after an environmental setback.

Elsewhere in the world, desalination is moving forward, notably in the Middle East, where the waterenergy ratio is more favorable, and Australia, where a severe drought spurred extraordinary action.

“The Australians complain about desalination, saying it’s an expensive insurance policy,” Miller said. “It’s pretty much thriving in the rest of the world and de-sal companies are pretty happy with their business right now, except for the U.S.” His conclusion is that desalination is still expensive in the short term, but prospects are bright in the long term. “We’re going to have to use that 97.2 percent [ocean water],” he said.

In brief

Dendahl service set for Nov. 29

A memorial service for former state Republican Party Chairman John Dendahl has been scheduled for Nov. 29.

Debra Hadley, one of Dendahl’s daughters, said the service would be at 2 p.m at The Great Hall at Peterson Student Center at St. John’s College.

Dendahl, a Santa Fe native who had been living near Denver for several years, died Nov. 9 from complications from treatments for leukemia. He was 75.

He was GOP chairman for about 10 years beginning in 1994 and the Republican nominee for governor in 2006.

Suit claims bus ran over student A lawsuit has been filed against the Santa Fe school district, claiming a former Capshaw Middle School student was run over by a school bus as it pulled away from the school.

The complaint for damages in state District Court names Mark Fene as a plaintiff on behalf of his minor child, Alistair Fene, and also names bus driver Ron Levy as a defendant.

The complaint asserts that the defendants knew that “students routinely chased buses when they were late for the departure and despite this knowledge, they failed to implement proper safety protocols.”

The description of the November 2011 incident in the lawsuit says the bus was leaving the school grounds with students on board and was about a foot from the curb when the driver noticed Alistair Fene, 12, talking to another student while standing on the sidewalk in the departure area.

The driver was waved down by another student and stopped the bus to let her board, the complaint says, when Fene ran toward the bus to board as well, but fell and was severely injured when the bus ran over him.

SFPS a finalist in grant contest The U.S. Department of Education announced this week that Santa Fe Public Schools is one of 31 finalists in the Race to the Top national competition for federal funding.

The school district is one of about 200 applying for the

grants, which support local educational reform initiatives.

Visit www2.ed.gov/programs. racetothetop-district/index. html for more information on the program.

Student advisers join school board Santa Fe Public Schools swore in three student advisers to the school board earlier this week: senior Calicah Pacheco from the Academy at Larragoite and juniors Tyler Shellberg of Santa Fe High and Blanca Ortiz of Capital High.

Though the students have no voting power, they take part in regular board meetings and are often called upon to provide insight from a student’s perspective.

Principals of the district’s public high schools recommended the students, who also had to fill out an application.

The next board meeting is scheduled for Dec. 3 at the district’s Educational Services Center on Alta Vista Street.

Crews respond to downtown fire A single room in a building at 101 Cienega St. in downtown Santa Fe ignited Friday evening before 10 p.m.

Three engines, two ambulances and a battalion chief responded to the fire, according to Chief Erik Litzenberg of the Santa Fe Fire Department.

No one was inside the building at the time, Litzenberg said, but he was told a dog was taken to the veterinarian to be treated for smoke inhalation.

He said the cause of the fire was unknown.

Police chief: Man intended suicide ALBUQUERQUE — Chief Allen Banks of the Albuquerque Police Department says a man who was shot by police during a traffic stop was trying to commit suicide.

Banks says Bobby Garcia, 64, told police he bought a pellet gun that looked like a real gun, intending to be shot by police.

According to Banks, Garcia even had a note in his wallet that said “thank you officer.”

Garcia was pulled over Nov. 15 for suspected drunken driving and got out his vehicle while holding the pellet gun, ignored commands to drop it and pointed it at the officer, who shot him in the torso.

Garcia remains hospitalized and Banks says he’ll be prosecuted.

Democrats finally pull the trigger I t was a long time in coming, but this week it finally happened. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., changed the rules of the Senate to allow passage of most executive and judicial nominees by a simple majority rule.

Supreme Court nominees are an exception, as is regular legislation.

The Senate voted 52-48 for the move, with just three Democrats voting Bill Stewart against the motion, Understanding considYour World ered to be the most significant change to Senate rules since 1975. The move essentially strips the Senate minority (in this case Republican) of its power to delay or obstruct White House executive and judicial nominees, and so important has this power been to Senate minorities of both parties that any attempt to change it has been called the “nuclear option.”

The move is not a constitutional matter, as the Senate makes and abides by its own rules. But the Senate is a deeply traditionalist body, and changing the rules of that body is taken very seriously.

The usual way of blocking a Senate measure, in this case executive and judicial nominations, has been the use of the filibuster, which, until this week’s vote, took 60 votes to overcome. The filibuster is a time-honored practice of the minority to stop or delay measures it opposes.

Even in the first Congress in the 18th century, minority members employed long speeches and delaying tactics to oppose measures they disliked. In those early days, representatives as well as senators could filibuster (although the term was not used until the late 19th century). But as the House grew larger, rules

were created to limit how long representatives could speak. The Senate, however, retained unlimited debate.

The first Senate restrictions came in 1917 when, at the urging of President Woodrow Wilson, the Senate decided to end debate, or to invoke cloture, with a two-thirds majority vote. That two-thirds was reduced to 60 votes in 1975. And there the matter has stood until this week’s vote.

Both parties have used the filibuster, and both parties approve of it in principle. The problem has been the abuse of the filibuster in recent years by the Republicans. Half the nominees filibustered in the history of the United States were blocked by Republicans during the administration of President Barack Obama; of 23 District Court nominees filibustered in U.S. history, 20 were Obama nominees.

Even judges that have broad bipartisan support have had to wait nearly 100 days longer, on average, than President George W. Bush’s nominees.

The problem is particularly acute with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, generally regarded as the most important court in the U.S.

after the Supreme Court. The court is made up of 11 judges but is currently down three to only eight. The Senate has voted on three nominees to the court in the last month.

Republicans have blocked them all, saying they would not allow Obama any more appointments to that court.

That attitude is regarded by Democrats as sheer obstructionism and an attempt to block the president from carrying out one of his constitutional duties.

Senate Republicans were furious. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Senate Republican leader, said the Democrats had broken Senate rules in order to change the rules.

It was all done, he said, to change the subject from the failure of “Obamacare,” on which the Republicans have devoted most of their time.

“You think this is in the best interest of the United States and the American people?” he asked on the Senate floor. “I say to my friends on the other side of the aisle, you’ll regret this. And you may regret it a lot sooner than you think.”

In other words, what goes around, comes around.

President Obama, a former senator himself, was quick to

support the Senate decision by telling reporters at the White House that the Senate move ended “an unprecedented pattern of obstruction” of his judicial and cabinet appointments. “I realize that neither party has been blameless for these tactics. They developed over the years. But today’s pattern of obstruction, it just isn’t normal. It’s not what our Founding Fathers envisioned.”

The Democrats moved quickly to use the new rules.

By 55-43, the Senate voted to cut off debate on the nomination of Patricia Millett to the court. She is a longtime Washington lawyer who has worked with both parties and is a nominee Republicans had previously rejected. The Democrats are expected to work on approval of the final two nominees to the circuit court after the Thanksgiving holidays. Finally, some of the gridlock has been broken. But the Republicans will want revenge.

ANOTHER VIEW

MY VIEW: JOE DAY

e of course, have just been through extensive media coverage of the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

There are some of us who can recall that day — Nov. 22, 1963 — and the days that followed. I happen to be one of them. I was in the midst of changing jobs as a young reporter from the Milwaukee, Wis., Journal, to the Providence, R.I., Journal-Bulletin.

In fact, I had gone to the Milwaukee paper’s cashier’s office to pick up my last paycheck, when one of the most experienced reporters dashed to the office to pick up some cash to enable him to get Dallas to cover the story. He said the president had been shot and probably was dead.

I went home to my wife, Nancy, and our 1-year-old son, Peter, to start our journey eastward, which we did. Our old car didn’t have much of a radio, so we learned at a gas station or somewhere that Jack Ruby had shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, who had been apprehended for the

A-11

president’s murder. It was hard to believe all these things were happening. We were confused and frightened until the facts became more clear.

We spent the next few days in front of a television set — black and white, of course — at the home of relatives on our way, watching the events — among them, the funeral of a murdered president of the United States. Who can forget the sorrowful image of his wife and young daughter kneeling before his flag-covered casket? To those readers who were not yet born or were too young to have experienced those days, it naturally will be impossible to understand the utter shock and disbelief of the assassination.

To some of us, and millions around the world, it was inconceivable that such a thing could have occurred. If we were naive, if much of the nation was naive, so be it. Our collective innocence was lost, never, I feel, to be retrieved.

Regardless of people’s view of John Kennedy, the man and his presidency, the national sense of sorrow and grief was

ccording to two respected medical organizations, up to twice as many of us — nearly a third of all adults — should be taking statins to avoid heart attack and stroke. But statins, the potent cholesterol-lowering medications of which Lipitor is the most famous brand name, also are associated with some difficult side effects, most notably muscle pain. And once prescribed, they are generally taken for the rest of one’s life.

Last week, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology concluded that the drug should be prescribed for people with at least a 7.5 percent chance of having a heart attack within the next decade, a lower threshold than before. The groups devised an online calculator based on various factors, including age, gender and cholesterol levels, to determine that risk. But the new advice sparked immediate controversy, and already there are complaints that the calculator might overrate people’s risks.

It’s hard to imagine a more important public health topic than preventing heart attacks. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in this country, and strokes, which statins also help prevent, are a major cause of death as well.

The report was written by a panel of doctors appointed by the two organizations. Some critics have accused it of pushing pills in ways that help the pharmaceutical industry.

But the panel, which spent years examining studies on the issue, has been widely praised for recommending that doctors determine their patients’ overall risk of having a heart attack or stroke, rather than simply trying to lower cholesterol levels to a preset target. There’s little evidence, the panel concluded, that lowering LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, to one number for everybody saves any lives. In addition, their recommendations would lead to far less use of some non-statin cholesterol-lowering drugs for which the panel found little evidence of reduced heart attack rates.

Another critic of the new recommendations, Marvin M. Lipman, the chief medical adviser at Consumers Union, says that although statins are known to greatly reduce fatalities among people with heart disease or at very high risk of heart disease, there is a lack of hard evidence when it comes to people with a risk of less than 10 percent. Meanwhile, the panel now says it will re-examine its risk calculator after experts alleged that it contained flaws that would identify millions of people as “at risk” when they’re not.

These are exactly the kinds of complicated issues that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force excels in examining. Before the nation embarks on a radical shift that could double the number of people taking statins, this independent, congressionally authorized group should deliver a second opinion.

The past 100 years

overwhelming. Some pundits have tried to imagine an America had Kennedy lived, but to me, that seems a mostly useless exercise. He did not live, and we will never know what might have been.

We also probably will never know the truth of the murder itself, what really happened, whether Oswald acted alone, whether there was a wider conspiracy. That, too, probably will remain a mystery.

But what is known, I feel, is that for those of us who lived in those dark days, they will never, ever, be forgotten. Even today, in this time of remembering, there remains, for some of us, a deep and enduring sense of loss.

Rick Santorum has new role as movie mogul

By Jocelyn Noveck

Rick Santorum

NEW YORK ick Santorum was glad-handing a friendly crowd at a cocktail reception the other night, seeking support just as he did for many grueling months on the 2012 campaign trail for the Republican presidential nomination.

But this time he wasn’t looking to get on a ticket — well, not yet, anyway — but rather, to sell tickets. Movie tickets.

Many might not know that Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator and darling of America’s social conservatives, is now a movie mogul.

In June, he became CEO of EchoLight Studios, a Dallasbased Christian film company that produces and distributes what it calls faith-based family films.

In the past few weeks, he’s been promoting his first theatrical release since taking over; Aptly, given the season, it’s a Christmas film.

The Christmas Candle, which features Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle in a minor speaking role, is about a minister in a small 19thcentury English town, at odds with his congregation’s belief in a blessed, miracle-producing candle.

Based on the book by Max Lucado, it opened Friday in more than 300 cities across the country — none too soon, says Santorum, who believes Hollywood has fallen down when it comes to Christmas films.

“Name a Christmas movie produced by Hollywood that has anything to do with Christmas,” Santorum said at a recent Manhattan screening of his film. “Not elves and Santa Claus and reindeer and The Polar Express — some of these are very good movies, uplifting, wonderful, but none of them mention what Christmas is about! None of them mention the birth of Jesus Christ.

That is remarkable.”

It’s also one of the reasons he got into the movie business, he says, capitalizing on his newfound visibility after the 2012 campaign.

Santorum quit the race in April of that year, ceding to eventual nominee Mitt Romney, but his surprising performance in the hard-fought primaries left him, at least for the moment, as a prominent social conservative voice.

“After the campaign, I had this newfound gift: fame,” he said. “People knew who I was, all across the country. And I thought, well, how could I take this gift and help God and country?”

Santorum says he’s a big movie fan. (Asked what his favorites are — besides The Christmas Candle, of course — he mentions It’s A Wonderful Life and says he also plans to see the The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.) But there’s a lot about current fare he doesn’t like.

“Look, violence for the sake of violence is not a good thing,” he said. “Sex for the sake of sex is not a good thing.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be sex or violence or language in a movie if it’s put in the context of what it is and the effect of it, the consequence of it.

But if it’s just gratuitous, that’s another thing.”

Says Hollywood has fallen down when it comes to Christmas films.

At the Manhattan screening, Santorum shook the hands of filmgoers and chatted about the film. Though the invited guests were upbeat, critics have been mixed.

The Tulsa World called the film “stiff when it needs to be alive, colorless when it needs to be shiny.”

The Washington Post, on the other hand, said that “in spite of hammy histrionics requisite for the genre, it is not at all a turkey.”

The Hollywood Reporter noted its “positive message,” but also its “hopelessly stodgy execution.” It also called Boyle “hopelessly stiff.”

EchoLight is distributing the film in the United States, but did not produce it. Santorum says he and EchoLight did suggest several changes, some of which made it in, but not all.

There’s a moment toward the end that personally irked him, he said, but his artistic opinion on that point did not win the day.

Santorum says his studio is now working on several new movies, with three scripts in development.

His tenure hasn’t been entirely filled with peace and goodwill: Soon after taking over, the new CEO clashed with two former executives at the studio over financial and other issues.

The executives were fired, and EchoLight subsequently sued them for breach of contract, among other things.

As for his own timetable, Santorum isn’t certain, and that’s partly because he hasn’t ruled out the possibility that he’ll be on the campaign trail again sometime soon.

He offered a quick “Sure!” when asked if he’s open to running again.

A lot will depend on personal factors, he said. “You put a wife and seven children through a run for president — particularly the run I made, which was a lot of grass-roots knocking on doors — and the time away from your family is pretty taxing. And there’s the financial aspect of it. I’ve got seven kids, three in college, three more on the way, so it’s a big financial commitment to do that for me, because running for president doesn’t pay.”

He does seem to have strong opinions on other potential GOP nominees.

Without naming names (though the question was about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie) Santorum said: “We need someone who’s an authentic conservative.” Some potential candidates, he said, “tend to be apologists for certain positions that Republicans hold, instead of being advocates for those positions.”

As for his future, he says, “We’ll see where we are a year from now. But in the meantime, I am all in with this [movie-making], and we’ll see how it goes.”

Taos wins handily over Bloomfield 49-14 The New Mexican

The Pojoaque Valley Elks tried to make their 2013 football season last just a little longer.

But their upset bid netted nothing — except maybe a little respect for a program considRuidoso 38 ered a lightweight in the Class AAA Pojoaque 19 ranks.

The 10th-seeded Elks gave No. 2 Ruidoso all it could handle before the Warriors pulled away for a 38-19 win in a Class AAA quarterfinal on a chilly Friday night. The Elks ended their season 6-6, but almost got their second playoff win in the program’s history.

Pojoaque crept to within 19-13 when John Ainsworth Jr. hit Isaac Martinez for a 20-yard touchdown pass with 4 minutes, 38 seconds left in the third quarter. After forcing the Warriors to punt on the next series, Pojoaque had momentum and the ball at the 50.

That’s when the magic ran out.

The Elks did nothing on offense and punted. Ruidoso (9-2) responded swiftly, as Case Patterson hit Parker Johnson for a 50-yard pass to the Pojoaque 15. Cisco Mayville followed with a 15-yard touchdown run to make it 25-13, Ruidoso, with :31 left in the quarter.

he first time Will Lenfestey noticed the crowd was Jan. 14, 2012.

The senior forward at Santa Fe Preparatory also noticed it hasn’t left since then.

There was a time when boys basketball at Santa Fe Prep was something to pass the time until club soccer in the spring, and the stands showed it. But in the time that Lenfestey has been on the varsity team, he has seen Prep Gymnasium go from a church-mouse quiet venue to a raucous event in which students, parents and fans have to get there early to find a good seat.

But the transformation began 22 months ago, when the Blue Griffins took on Class A powerhouse Springer.

“I remember because there was an article the next day talking about how electric the crowd was,” Lenfestey said. “That was when I realized the culture of basketball was changing here at Prep.”

At the time, Prep was 12-3 and riding the wave of a 6-1 stretch that spawned the enthusiasm. It beat the Red Devils 76-65, and went on to the Class AA semifinals, a first for the program. That was the first salvo that the Blue Griffins launched across the AA scenery.

The second one could come this season, as Prep is widely considered to be the favorite in District 2AA and among the top teams in AA. This is an entirely new atmosphere for the program — except for its head coach, Dennis Casados. He knows something about expectations, having built the program at Capital when it opened its doors in 1988.

t was about this time last year that we used this space to discuss the St. Michael’s football team’s claim to legitimacy regarding its pursuit of the Class AAA state championship.

Win, we said, and the Horsemen would make good on the promise of a 10-0 regular season that suggested they were the best team in the state.

Lose and they’d ruin all of it, becoming just another pretty girl left outside in the parking lot at prom while everyone else danced the night Will Webber away inside.

The same Commentary could be said of this year’s team.

The Horsemen are once again 10-0, having laid waste to most of the competition set before them. Some, like Albuquerque Hope Christian and Bloomfield, put up a down-to-the wire fist fight. Most, like Saturday’s playoff opponent, Las Vegas Robertson, went down without much more than mild resistance.

It begs the question: Is it a bigger story if the Horsemen don’t win a state title than if they make it back to the finals and capture their second straight blue trophy?

The short answer: Yes. That’s not to say the team’s odds are better than last year’s. Well, actually, yes. They are.

Whereas the threat of facing a tough Silver team in last year’s state title game made some Horsemen fans think twice about celebrating too early, there is no knuckle-dragging challenger to potentially take the blue and white down this year.

While last year’s team may have been more dominant statistically than this year’s, the field around it is noticeably weaker.

Ruidoso? With all due respect to the Warriors, the state’s second seed does not strike fear into the hearts of those on Siringo Road the way the Lovingtons and Silvers have in the past.

The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Andrew Wiggins scored 16 points, Andrew White III added 13 and secondranked Kansas 2 Kansas 88 raced to a victory Towson 58 over Towson on Friday night to open the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.

SPORTS

Buzz: Empty seats a rare sight at games Continued from Page B-1 Twenty-five years later, he’s brought that to Prep.

“It’s a sign of the times,” Casados said. “The kids want to be in a successful program, and they see that.”

The winds of change were already in the works when Casados ended a 17-year coaching hiatus to take over the program in the summer of 2011. Former head coach Chris Chakeres brought the Blue Griffins to the cusp of the state tournament, but they didn’t make it into the the 2011 field despite a 15-8 record.

Casados saw that Prep was ready to take the next step.

He can thank grandson, Prep senior D.J. Casados, for that, since he was playing on the varsity as an eighth grader and Dennis watched from the stands.

“I was just happy watching Prep play,” coach Casados said.

“Then I got the bug in my ear they needed a head basketball

coach, and I said, ‘Why not?’

And I got back in it, and I am happy that I did.”

Dennis Casados took the formula he used at Capital three decades ago and brought it to Prep.

It’s based on working on fundamentals and less on scrimmaging. In fact, his teams rarely play fullcourt in practice.

“It’s not a difficult to understand,” the coach said. “The system that I run is that five players are going to be in five different spots, and you have to be a complete basketball player to be in it.”

Dennis might have his most complete team this year. The group he guided to the semifinals had but one or two players contributing off the bench. This edition has much better depth.

The Blue Griffins are 10-deep, and that has already been put to the test. In a 53-38 win over Bosque School, Lenfestey and 6-foot-5 junior Ian Andersson were both in foul trouble.

But Prep withstood that issue with its depth and the pair finished the game despite four fouls.

It might be the sign that Prep has evolved from a one-year wonder to a sustainable program that won’t fall apart when seniors Lenfestey, Casados, Jackson Dooling and Diego Perea graduate after this year.

“I think it can be competitive for a long time,” D.J. Casados said. “The JV, there is a lot of talent here. It’s going to be a program.”

He can see the legacy carry on in the length of Andersson and the shooting of sophomore Francis Castillo y Mulert next year. Castillo y Mulert sees that he can carry the tradition that started not so long ago and hand it off to the players on the junior varsity and the middle school level.

“I like to help them out,” Castillo y Mulert said. “I don’t know if they look up to me, but I like to help out. I’ve been with them since seventh, eighth

grade. I know a lot of them.”

That doesn’t surprise granddad. The Casadoses can drive over to Capital and watch what he built there continue the tradition of meeting expectations.

The Jaguars have consistently been one of the top programs in AAA — and later AAAA — since Dennis resigned in 1994.

The seeds of that have been spread at Prep.

“We stress the fundamentals in the summer camp that we run with the younger kids and just run it through to the high school,” he said. “Guys know that we’re not going to scrimmage for an hour and a half or two hours. We’re going to work on fundamentals and break things down halfcourt.”

It’s those little things that have created a big buzz at Santa Fe Prep.

All the Blue Griffins have to do is look for an empty seat before the tip-off.

It’s a rare commodity these days.

elks: Vindicated Tigers advance to semis Continued from Page B-1 downs on its next drive, and the Warriors needed just two plays to score again on Johnson’s 24-yard TD run for 32-13 with 9:28 left.

Until that point, the Elks showed they were capable of playing with the Warriors.

They consistently moved the ball downfield in the first half, even though they only had a 57-yard touchdown connection from Ainsworth to Martinez to show for it.

That got Pojoaque within 7-6 in the first quarter, but Ruidoso got a 65-yard touchdown from

Patterson to Johnson right after that and Matthew Carr scored from 28 yards out in the second quarter to make it 19-6 at the half.

TaOS 49, BlOOmfield 14 In Bloomfield, the fifthseeded Tigers (10-1) felt disrespected coming in. When they left, they were feeling more than vindicated.

Taos got three rushing touchdowns from running back Isaac Gonzales and two touchdown passes from quarterback Kevin McCarty in a convincing win over the fourth-seeded Bobcats.

The Tigers advance to

next week’s semifinals against the winner of Saturday’s St. Michael’s-Robertson game in Santa Fe. They have won seven straight games, six of them by at least 21 points.

It didn’t take long for the game to tip in their favor on Friday night. Gonzales broke a scoreless tie with an 87-yard TD run with 6:28 left in the first quarter, then McCarty hit Lorenzo Rael with a scoring pass to make it 14-0 at the end of the period.

The lead mushroomed to 35-7 at halftime thanks, in part, to a blocked punt by the Taos special teams unit and a goal-line stand that ended in a 99-yard touchdown return on

an interception by Jonathon Cordova with four minutes left in the second quarter.

In terms of total yardage the game was virtually even in the first half as Taos had 212 yards to Bloomfield’s 204. It was the Bobcats’ inability to cap extended drives that did them in.

Gonzales had 149 yards rushing in the first half alone.

Twice in the second half the Tigers initiated the running clock via the 35-point mercy rule. They led 42-7 after a Devin Ortega 71-yard touchdown reception from McCarty in the third quarter, then closed out the scoring with Gonzales’ last TD run of the night.

Horsemen: Taos represents biggest threat Continued from Page B-1 Speaking of Silver, the third-seeded Colts’ luster was tarnished to a degree when St. Michael’s rolled over them during an October visit to the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex.

Fourth-seeded Bloomfield and sixth-seeded Hope both pushed the Horsemen to the

final minute this season, but the most legitimate threat could come from Taos, the fifth seed.

The Tigers seem to have the tools and the momentum to rattle the champs’ cage.

They’re the only other team in the state who hasn’t lost at least two games.

All they’ve done is answer almost every challenge placed

before them, all the while slowly earning the respect of a team worthy of the attention it’s now getting.

Still, a Taos win in next week’s semifinals would still be considered a sizable upset.

That said, yes, it is safe to say it’s not unreasonable to expect another state championship for the Horsemen. It’s similarly unreasonable to dismiss the

idea that anything short of a title is a disappointment.

Will an early loss ruin the team’s resume? No. There’s no doubt that St. Michael’s is the team everyone in AAA looks up to, championship run or not.

What an early loss will do, however, is be a disappointment for all those who have come to expect nothing but the best from the best.

lobos: Fatigue may have played role in loss Continued from Page B-1 handle and excel in high-tempo games. Doing that after going 50 hard minutes to defeat UAB a day earlier was a factor, he said.

“I think it might be a little bit of a problem playing two overtimes and have to turn around and play at 2:30. But that’s not an excuse,” he said.

Still, the game was tied at 61-all at just under eight minutes left on Kirk’s jumper when things got away from the Lobos, who missed their final eight shots after tying the game and managed just four foul shots down the stretch.

Kirk worked hard to top his

previous best of 31 set against Cal State-Bakersfield in January 2011, going 11 of 26 from the floor as he was swarmed by Minutemen whenever he got the ball. Kirk also finished with 11 rebounds.

Kendall Williams was held to 13 points on 5 of 12 shooting.

Much of the time, Chaz Williams was tightly defending him.

Cameron Bairstow, who was averaging 23 points this season, was held to eight points on just eight shots.

“We gave great effort,” Neal said. “I thought we had a couple of mental breakdowns and that could’ve been from fatigue.”

Putney’s slam on a pretty feed from Chaz Willilams broke the tie at 61 and gave Massachusetts the lead for good. Derrick Gordon followed with a basket and Williams had his third 3-pointer to put the Minutemen ahead 68-61.

Putney followed with a jumper and a 3-pointer and Gordon closed the charge with a basket that made it 75-61. The Lobos had no answers unlike the UAB game when Kendall Williams’ 3 tied it at the end of regulation, Kirk’s 3 tied it at the end of overtime and Cleveland Thomas’ 3 put them ahead for good in the final minute of the second extra period.

But the Lobos matched the

Minutemen for much of the first half, building a 27-22 lead with 7:33 left on 16 points from Kirk.

That’s when Massachusetts got its attack in gear with a 14-0 run ignited by Chaz Williams.

The point guard hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 27-all. After Gordon’s two foul shots, Williams had a layup to extend the margin to 31-27.

Williams added two more foul shots after a technical was called on the New Mexico bench in protesting Cullen Neal’s turnover. His dad, the Lobos’ coach, drew a technical foul in the tournament opener against UAB.

PREP ROUNDUP

Tough Monte del Sol beats McCurdy

The New Mexican

The McCurdy Bobcats were everything the Monte del Sol boys basketball team wanted for a season opener.

McCurdy was big and physical, but the Dragons matched those qualities with toughness and escaped Memorial Gymnasium with a 59-57 win on Friday night.

Monte del Sol built a 49-42 lead entering the fourth quarter and pushed the margin up to 11 before the Bobcats (0-1) made a frantic comeback.

McCurdy got within 56-55 with less than a minute left, but Monte del Sol twice got an offensive rebound off a missed free

throw and extended the lead to 57-55. Then the Bobcats turned the ball over with :11 left, to effectively hand the win over to Monte del Sol. The Dragons held them off by hitting free throws in the final few minutes and demonstrating some patience. Nick Rivera, Monte del Sol head coach, said it was the kind of style his team will face when the District 2AA season rolls around and needs to get used to it.

“This was a good tune-up,” Rivera said.

“I know district is a long ways away, but we need games like this to get the boys a little stronger.”

Ryan Vanderham led the Dragons with

23 points, while Omar Ndiaye added 14 and Antonio Tapia nine despite being in foul trouble.

Monte del Sol led 15-8 after the first quarter and led 31-26 at the half.

McCurdy had Daniel Arroyo lead all scorers with 26 points, while Chris Serrano added 10, but head coach Ruben Archuleta lamented the little mistakes that cost his team a season-opening win — like going 7-for-24 from the free-throw line.

“We had our chances and we played horribly,” Archuleta said. “We’ve got two weeks of practice to get in, so we’ll work on those little things.”

GAMES TO wATCH

FEB. 18

Here are five boys and girls games/tournaments to keep on your calender for the 2013-14 season.

MORA AT PECOS One of the state’s longest district feuds will take a hiatus (perhaps forever?) as Mora is slated to stay in Class AA, while the Panthers move to AAA next fall.

The teams will remain rivals, but it just won’t be the same. Ask the District 2AAA schools when they face St. Michael’s.

BOyS DEC. 3 SANTA FE PREPARATORy AT wEST LAS VEGAS The Blue Griffins get an earlyseason test against a Dons team that will be one of the top teams in AAA. If they pass this, it bodes well for Prep’s chances of being a Class AA contender.

DEC. 12-14 DESERT ACADEMy AT SuNDEVIL INVITATIONAL The Wildcats get a taste of bigschool competition when they head to Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory for the weekend. A strong showing here will make the rest of Class A take notice of Desert Academy.

JAN. 2-4 NORTHERN RIO GRANDE TOuRNAMENT The tournament always has one or two teams that will mke their presence known in March, so get an early jump on who they are this year.

Expect Class A to carry the weight here as McCurdy and Escalante have teams strong enough to make deep runs into March.

FEB. 14/16 MCCuRDy VS. ESCALANTE These two games, just two days apart, will determine the District 4A champion and will have seeding impact. The Lobos bounced back from a loss in Española to win the next three meetings, including the one-game playoff and the tournament championship.

HOOPS 2013-14

GIRLS DEC. 3 ESTANCIA AT SANTA FE PREPARATORy The Blue Griffins have a big red circle around this game, because it is one of a handful of nondistict games that will impact their state tournament future. The Lady Bears return a good nucleus that was the District 3AA runner-up last year.

DEC. 14 PECOS AT MESA VISTA Both teams are looking for a win that makes their resume shine, and this game provides that chance.

JAN. 9/24 MORA VS. CLAyTON Should Destiny Pacheco return for one or both of these games, she will get a good test against the Lady Yellowjackets’ front line. And lest we forget, isn’t there this little thing call “payback” on the Rangerettes’ mind after losing to them in the AA quarterfinals last year?

FEB. 2 MCCuRDy AT ESTANCIA This time it’s the Lady Bobcats who get to use the Lady Bears as a resume-stuffer. It would be wise for Miah Martinez to be healthy for this game.

BOYS

DISTRICT 2AA SANTA FE PREP 2012-13 record: 22-7, 5-3 2AA. Lost to Mesilla Valley (46-22) in first round of Class AA State Tournament.

Head coach: Dennis Casacos (third season) Top players: D.J. Casados, Sr., guard, 6-foot; Will Lenfestey, Sr., post, 6-4; Diego Perea, Sr., guard, 6-0; Francis Castillo y Mulert, So., guard, 5-11; Ian Andersson, Jr., post, 6-5.

Overview: It’s no stretch to say this might be the best Blue Griffins team over the past three decades — even better than the 2011-12 team that reached the AA semifinals. Prep has the perfect complement of size, skill and experience, and its guard play should be better with D.J. Casados adapting to the point guard role and Castillo y Mulert a year older.

What could separate this team from previous teams is depth. Coach Casados can go nine-to-10 deep in his rotation, and it was already put to the test against Bosque School. A beefed up schedule will test the Blue Griffins, and have it prepared for 2AA play and a long run in the state tournament.

MONTE DEL SOL 2012-13 record: 10-17, 1-7 2AA. Head coach: Nick Rivera (second season) Top players: Antonio Tapia, Sr., forward, 6-2; Omar Ndiaye, Jr., guard, 6-1; Steven Romero, Sr., forward, 5-8; Javier Castillo, So., guard, 5-9; Peter Bartlett, Sr., post, 6-4.

Overview: What the Dragons lost in 2013 graduate Denis Mares, they gained in experience and depth. Led by the sharp-shooting Tapia, the Dragons have an intriguing group of grizzled upperclassmen and inexperience — even with some seniors.

Bartlett comes from the baseball program and brings some scrappiness in the paint. The key will be Monte del Sol’s defensive effort. If it’s there, the Dragons might make some noise in the district and beyond. If not …

PEÑASCO 2012-13 record: 9-17, 1-7 2AA. Head coach: Tom Shields (first season) top players: Josh Gurule, Sr., center, 6-2; Kyle Fernandez, Sr., guard, 5-7; Alvin Lujan, Sr., guard, 5-7; Alex Gonzales, Sr., forward, 6-1; Adam Esquibel, So., guard, 5-9; Wanonca Rakestraw, So., guard, 5-8.

Overview: The Panthers are a senior-dominant group, but needed some direction after a tumultuous 2012-13. Enter the nomadic Tom Shields, the former Santa Fe Indian School athletic director who is in his fourth job in the past six years.

He has a strong center in Gurule and solid guards in Fernandez and Lujan, and it showed in a 3-1 mark in a weekend scrimmage at Capital. Peñasco might be the dark horse in the district, and given the volatile nature of player movement, might be the team to best give Prep a challenge in the district.

MORA 2012-13 record: 19-11, 5-3 2AA. Lost

ABOVE: Mora senior Destiny Pacheco won’t return to the basketball court until January at the earliest, but she will have an immediate impact on the Rangerettes and the District 2AA race.

LEFT: Santa Fe Prep senior William Lenfestey, shown here in February against Mora, was a part of the 2011-12 boys basketball team that reached the Class AA semifinals. The Blue Griffins are expected to be contenders again this season in Class AA. NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTOS

to Santa Rosa (69-67) in the first round of the Class AA State Tournament.

Head coach: James Branch (third season) Top players: Jeremiah Olivas, Sr., forward, 5-11; Miguel Olivas, Sr., guard, 5-9; Casimiro Fresquez, So., guard, 5-9; Travis Romero, freshman, guard, 5-8; Jerome Alcon, So., forward, 5-10; Emmerick Martinez, So., center, 5-11.

Overview: Notice some names missing? How about Americk and Curtis Vasquez? And Cody Najar? Those three players were going to be key parts to the Rangers’ team, but all three transferred in the fall.

So, Mora will rely on a lot of underclassmen in expanded roles to offset those losses. Romero becomes an important part of the rotation as a point guard, while Jeremiah and Miguel Olivas provide senior leadership. Only time will tell if this mixture can challenge Prep and the rest of the state this season.

Outlook: There’s nowhere to go but up for a Trojans program that hit rock bottom a year ago.

The good news is that the talented slew of underclassmen is one year older, a group headlined by Baldonado, a player who should produce points as a versatile low-post threat.

Jaramillo is back after season-ending ACL surgery, while Gallegos is ready for his second full season as the starting point guard.

“We’re pretty much the same as last year, just a year older,” Vigil says.

“We only have one junior, so basically we have four seniors and eight sophomores. We’re young and real small, but this is the first time in my seven years I’ve basically had the entire team come back because we only had two seniors on the team last year.”

PECOS

DISTRICT 2AA

2012-13 record: 26-3, 8-0 2AA. Lost to Mesilla Valley (56-48) in the Class AA quarterfinals.

Head coach: Ira Harge (first season) Top players: Chris Vigil, Jr., forward, 5-8; Elijah Varela, Sr., guard, 5-7; Isaac Varela, senior, wing, 5-6; Mario Torrez, Sr., forward, wing, 5-6.

Overview: This is how many minutes of varsity experience the Panthers have: 40. A talented, experienced group of seniors and a new coach in 2012-13 gives way to a group of inexperienced upperclassmen and a new coach.

Pecos will continue to press and run, mainly because it has plenty of speed but lacks size. Vigil and Elijah Varela bring the most experience, and they will be relied upon to guide the rest of the team through a difficult schedule, both nondistrict and 2AA play.

DISTRICT 7AA MESA VISTA 2012-13 record: 3-23, 2-4 in 7AA. Head coach: Thomas Vigil (seventh season) Key players: Isaac Baldonado, So., center, 5-11; Emiliano Martinez, Sr., guard, 5-10; Isaac Jaramillo, Sr., guard, 5-9; Diego Gallegos, So., guard, 5-9; Chris Maeastas, Sr., forward, 5-11; Antonio Pena, So., forward, 5-9

GIRLS

SANTA FE PREP 2012-13 record: 17-11, 6-2 2AA. Lost to Navajo Pine (53-27) in the first round of the Class AA State Tournament.

Head coach: Anika Amon (fifth season) Top players: Alex Archuleta, Sr., guard, 5-6; Meggie Stone, Sr., guard, 5-5; Joy Maran, Jr., forward, 5-9; Desiray Anderson, Jr., forward, 5-9; Alicia Galvan, Sr., guard, 5-4.

Overview: The Blue Griffins are eight-players strong as the season begins, and Amon hopes a couple of more players decide to play. She has a veteran group, as all of them have been in the program for the past three seasons.

Last year, the Blue Griffins relied upon Olivia Cicci and Maddy Fort for offense, but this year’s group should spread the scoring wealth.

Health will be important, because the team will get young fast with eighth graders providing some depth if need be.

MONTE DEL SOL 2012-13 record: 12-14, 2-6 2AA. Head coach: Ralph Casaus (third season) Top players: Alicia Roybal, Sr., guard, 5-2; Amelia Gutierrez, Sr., post,

5-8; Kayden Wilson, So., forward, 5-2; Christina Stanton, So., forward, 5-9; Kaylee Maxon, Fr., guard, 5-3.

Overview: Casaus has focused on conditioning in the preseason because the Lady Dragons do not have much depth. That will be clear on the offense, as Monte del Sol will go as Roybal and Gutierrez go. Stanton adds some size and Maxon is being groomed to take some ball-handling pressure off of Roybal.

Still, don’t expect the Lady Dragons to score more than 30-40 points in a game. They will need to slow down the tempo and rely on their defense to be successful this season.

PEÑASCO 2012-13 record: 2-25, 1-7 2AA. Head coach: Clarence Vigil (second season) Top players: Shannon Medina, Sr., guard, 5-6; Megan Martinez, junior, forward, 5-6; Charlyna Gonzales, Fr., guard, 5-5; Nancy Tafoya, Jr., forward, 5-6.

Overview: In just one game this season, the Lady Panthers are already halfway to matching their win total of 2012-13. Medina returns as the team’s leading scorer, while Gonzales is expected to grow into a more expanded role.

Depth will be an issue for Peñasco, with only nine players on the varsity, but the Lady Panthers will be more competitive in the district. The rebuilding phase is still underway for a program that was once one of the best in AA.

him to step down.

Regardless, Mora is the team to beat in the district. Brianna Pacheco an Herrera will have to pick up some of the slack early in the season, while Padilla and Rivera bring experience in the backcourt.

PECOS 2012-13 record: 8-19, 3-5 2AA. Head coach: Leroy Barela (third year) Top players: Ida Valencia, So., wing, 5-6; Alexis CdeBaca, Sr., guard, 5-5; Kaitlyn Flores, Sr., Megan Armijo, Fr., guard, 5-3; Bianca Soliz, Sr., posts, 5-11.

Overview: The Lady Panthers took some lumps as a relatively young team learned how to play at the varsity level.

The best news coming into the season is that Valencia is ready to play after tearing her ACL and Barela says she is not showing any hesitation in cutting and pushing off the leg.

Her absences helped accelerate the growth of Armijo and CdeBaca, and Soliz’s presence in the middle gives Pecos some needed size. While Mora appears to be the clear-cut favorite, the battle for second place is wide open, and the Lady Panthers will be in that mix.

DISTRICT 7AA MESA VISTA

2012-13 record: 13-14, 3-3 7AA, lost to Laguna-Acoma 77-15 in the first round of the Class AA State Tournament.

MORA Head coach: Josh Archuleta (second 2012-13 record: 26-3, 8-0 2AA.

BOYS

PLAYERS TO wATCH

QUESTA

Here are five boys and girls players from Northern New Mexico to watch this season.

DISTRICT 1A

2012-13 record: 13-14, 1-3 1A. Lost to Dora in Class A quarterfinals.

Head coach: Steve Rael (first season) Top players: Zack Gallegos, So., point guard, 5-foot-7; Justin Torres, Sr., wing, 5-8; Robert Gomez, Sr., post, 6-3; Marcus Chavez, Sr., shooting guard, 5-6.

Overview: The Wildcats lost seven seniors from last year’s state tournament team, but first-year head coach Steve Rael is returning six players with varsity experience.

With the exception of Gomez, the Questa backcourt is no taller than 5-8, so speed will be its biggest weapon in its attempt to dethrone Springer as the king of the district. Even without a district title, Rael’s expectation is to have a winning season, something the Wildcats haven’t done in four years.

BOYS wILL LENfESTEY SANTA fE PREPARATORY

The 6-foot-4 post player has been a varsity regular since he was a freshman, and has become the go-to player in the pain for the Blue Griffins.

Lenfestey led the team with 13.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game as a junior, and makes an excellent 1-2 combo with …

D.J. CASADOS SANTA fE PREPARATORY

DISTRICT 2A

Casados has made the transition from an off-the-ball wing player to the team leader and point guard of a state championship-caliber team.

He trailed his teammate in scoring (12 points per game) and averaged 4 assists per contest.

If he can take care of the ball, Prep will be one of the top teams in the state.

DESERT ACADEMY 2012-13 record: 19-11, 9-5 2A. Lost to Hagerman 79-45 in first round of the Class A state tournament.

Heach coach: Ernie Rodriguez (first season) Top players: Mack Snyder, Sr., forward, 6-foot-2; Sudi Torres, Sr., guard, 5-11; Josh Bohlman, Sr., center, 6-7.

Overview: Desert Academy doesn’t have too many game outside of their enormous district, but their season opener against Monte del Sol and an invitation to the Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory Sundevil Invitational in the second week of December should give the Wildcats some quality experience heading into the district season.

This year’s group of seniors is not limited to positions that they are listed as on paper, as Torres and Snyder can play any position on the court.

MACk SNYDER DESERT ACADEMY

The 6-foot-2 senior is a prime example of what first-year head coach Ernie Rodriguez wants from his veteran players.

He can play multiple positions both in the front and back court, and possesses size that makes him even more of a handful.

He comes off a junior season in which he averaged. 13.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.

DISTRICT 4A CORONADO 2012-13 record: 6-18, 0-4 4A. Head coach: Jeff Klugman (first year) Top players: Randy Linney, Jr., guard, 5-foot-6; Carlos Madrid, Jr., forward, 6-0; A.J. Martinez, So., guard, 5-7; Jason Madrid, Sr., center, 6-2; Ben Velasquez, Jr., Forward, 5-10.

Overview: The Leopards don’t have a lot of size, but a lot of the players just got done doing cross country, meaning first-year coach Klugman won’t have to worry about conditioning early in the season.

Coronado is also young, but there are players that have at least two or three years of varsity experience, setting them up for success in years to come.

ESCALANTE 2012-13 record: 19-10, 3-1 4A. Lost to Capitan 77-68 in the first round of the Class A state tournament.

Head coach: Bill Russom (third year) Top players: Norman Salazar, Sr., power forward, 6-foot-2; Cody Casados, Sr., forward, 5-10; Reynaldo Atencio, Sr., forward, 6-0; Adam Edwards, Jr., center, 6-6.

Overview: Russom was running practices with an empty gym last week due to most of his squad playing football, but now Russom has his team on the court and looks to repeat as district champions.

The Lobos have a lot of size and strength, including Edwards, who grew about three inches from last season and should be a big presence in the middle in his first full year on varsity.

GIRLS DISTRICT 1A QUESTA 2012-13 record: 9-15, 1-3 1A Head coach: Miguel Romero (11th year) Top players: Rose Archuleta, Sr., forward, 5-foot5; Aspen Rivera, Sr., guard, 5-0; Britney Sisneros, Sr., guard, 5-2; Briana Ortega, Sr., forward, 5-6; Audrea Romero, Sr., guard, 5-1; Delena Trujillo, Jr., forward, 5-7; Annalise Arellano, Jr., guard, 5-1.

Overview: Practice barely started on Monday for the Lady Wildcats as most players were still entangled in volleyball, pushing Friday night’s game against Mesa Vista to later in the season. But with six seniors, Questa is looking to battle with Springer for the district crown.

The Lady Wildcats aren’t very tall, but they are deep at virtually every position. They are also experienced as they only lost two players from last year’s team.

2012-13 record: 20-9, 3-1 4A. Lost to Hagerman 45-31 in Class A semifinals.

Head coach: Ruben Archuleta (second year) Top players: Chris Serrano, Sr., point guard, 5-foot-10; Daniel Arroyo, Sr., small forward, 6-1; David Sanchez, Sr., guard, 6-0; Dennis Padilla, Sr., shooting guard, 5-10; Isaiah Vigil, eighth grade, point guard, 5-7.

53-15 in first round of Class A state tournament.

Head coach: Larry Rogal (first year) Top players: Eliana Serrano, Sr., point guard, 5-foot-1; Angel Martinez, Jr., wing, 5-6; Nicole Velasquez, Jr., post, 5-5.

Overview: The Lady Leopards are not very tall or very deep, as they only have nine girls on the varsity roster. The lack of numbers make it hard for rookie coach Rogal to conduct scrimmages in practice.

To compensate, Rogal is putting an emphasis on conditioning and shooting drills. To get the Lady Leopards back to the state tournament, Rogal is implementing an offense with a lot of ball movement and penetration.

ESCALANTE 2012-13 record: 10-17, 1-3 4A. Head coach: Kaelyne Thompson (second year) Top players: Mikaela Martinez, Jr., guard, 5-foot-2; Paige Russom, So., guard, 5-6; Tori Salazar, Fr., post, 5-10; Overview: Six seniors left the Lady Lobos, and none exist on this year’s squad, leading the way for Martinez to step into a leadership role a little early.

She is only one of two juniors on a team that comprises mostly sophomores, freshmen and eighthgraders.

Salazar is expected to be a factor in the paint as a freshman. She has the height, but Thompson said she still has a lot to learn. Look for her and the rest of the Lady Lobos a few years down the road.

MCCURDY 2012-13 record: 17-9, 3-1 4A. Lost to Logan 73-42 in the first round of the Class A state tournament.

Head coach: Flavio Martinez (second year).

Top players: Alannah Sanchez, Sr., guard, 5-foot4; Miah Martinez, Sr., guard, 5-4; Tenisha Velasquez, Jr., forward, 5-5; Patricia Loera, Jr., forward, 5-4; Marianna Santos, So., guard, 5-2.

Overview: The district regular season and tournament winners are looking to repeat behind a big group of returning players.

The Lady Bobcats will have some difficulty early in the season as most of their players just returned from playing in the quarterfinals of the state volleyball tournament. One player noticably absent is Martinez, who injured her knee in the A quarterfinal match, and coach Martinez says her presence will be hard to fill until she returns.

Arroyo, a 6-foot-1 senior, led the Bobcats with 16.8 points and 9 rebounds per game.

He is an electric scorer, but needs to be more consistent at it.

With three returning starters from last year’s Class A semifinal team, it could be a special season at McCurdy.

JUSTIN TORRES QUESTA

The Wildcats return the 5-foot-6 guard, who was an All-District 1A performer and helped the Wildcats to a surprising run to the A quarterfinals.

GIRLS DESTINY PACHECO MORA

You won’t read about her until January, but Pacheco was ready to explode as the go-to player for the Rangerettes until she tore her ACL during the volleyball season.

She has added a jumper to her post skills and is a matchup problem for many teams because of her 5-foot-9 frame.

IDA VALENCIA PECOS

It was a down 2012-13 year for Valencia, in more ways than one.

Teams focused their game plan on her and Valencia’s scoring average dropped to 12 points per game, then she tore her ACL late in the season. She has rehabbed the knee and looks as explosive and strong as she was last year.

ALICIA ROYBAL MONTE DEL SOL

The 5-foot-1 guard will be called upon to do a lot by the Lady Dragons.

With a team of mostly underclassmen, Roybal, along with fellow senior Amelia Gutierrez, will have to carry the scoring load.

She averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game last season, but expect those averages to go up this winter.

ALANNAH SANCHEz MCCURDY

She and teammate Miah Martinez were a solid duo for the Lady Bobcats, but she will have to go at it alone with Martinez out for a significant amount of time with a left knee injury.

Sanchez scored 11.8 points per game last season, which was second on the team. kIMBERLEY HERRERA NMSD

Herrera was absent from the Lady Roadrunners’ roster last season because of a torn rotator cuff, but she returned with a vengeance in the season opener against Desert Academy on Thursday.

She had 34 points and five steals, which makes her the clear leader for NMSD this year.

‘Dead at Seven’ essay helps reader Dear Annie: I want to thank you for printing the essay “Dead at Seven,” by Paul O. Ketro, M.D., about the dangers posed by senior drivers who don’t know when to give up their licenses.

For more than a year, I have been trying to tell my mother that it isn’t safe for her to drive any longer, and for the most part, I’ve kept her out of the car. She often states that she is going to drive herself, but when she read that essay, she said to me, “I guess I’m not going to drive my car anymore.”

You two are a blessing, and I’m convinced you’ve saved a life. — S. Dear S.: Thank you, but not everyone thinks we’re such a blessing. Many older drivers were upset about this essay, claiming young drivers cause more accidents. True.

But young drivers generally improve their driving skills over time, whereas older drivers can develop problems with reflexes, cognition and vision. While most senior drivers tend to be more cautious because of this, some refuse to recognize or deal with incipient problems. And regular testing to renew one’s license varies from state to state. The point of the essay is to help drivers over 65 be more aware of changes in their driving skills and be willing to address them.

Read on for more: From Salem, Mass.: Capability, not age, should be the topic. I am 93, in good health with fast responses, and I’m a defensive driver. I drive below the speed limit in the right lane, away from the lane-changers and speeders. I also drive with my right foot on the accelerator and my left foot on the brake to eliminate hitting the gas by mistake and plowing into people or buildings.

Florida: What I got out of “Dead at Seven” is that parents should teach

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You will remain even-tempered, even with a loved one acting erratically. You might wonder what to do in face of this person’s behavior. Listen well, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to examine what is happening with a loved one and his or her finances. You also might be looking at your own spending habits. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be full of energy, especially after you touch base with a favorite person. Listen to someone’s concerns with extra care. Tonight: Sort through invitations, then decide.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Get into the holiday spirit, whether it be decorating, raking or sharing with a story about Thanksgiving. Tonight: Take a brisk walk with the dog after dinner.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Nov. 23, the 327th day of 2013. There are 38 days left in the year.

Hocus Focus

Maryland: I have to take issue with the good doctor describing senior drivers as a “growing danger” on the road. That’s pure emotional hogwash. As a senior driver, I am far more careful than I was 60 years ago. I am far wiser, as well, and more aware of every danger on the street.

Yes, my reaction time may be a bit diminished, but that’s why I no longer use the fast lanes. If a child were to run into the street, he and his parents had better hope and pray that the car that hits him belongs to a watchful, slower-moving senior and not to my 30-year old son who can’t take his foot off the gas.

Iowa: That article got me thinking about one of the golfers in my league who is nearly blind. We have to watch where he hits the ball. After leaving the course, we saw him doing 45 when the speed limit was 70.

When he went to renew his license, he flunked the vision test and then told us that he was thinking of driving without a license. In my state, one must take a driver’s test every two years after the age of 70. I am now 78 and spend six months a year in Florida where drivers only need to renew every six years. Some older people don’t realize they have a problem.

Florida: I am fuming about this essay. He did not mention the thousands who are killed by pot-smoking, texting, daydreaming and drunk adults of all ages. I am 90 years old and have been driving for 65 years.

Take my driving away from me, and they may as well wrap me up completely. I will know when I am endangering myself and others.

their kids not to run into the street after a ball or anything else, that kids should be taught to stop on the curb and look both ways to see whether it is safe to cross or go into the street after a ball.
