Developer impact fees are back, but at half the cost Council approves waiver for 2 years; Bushee casts lone dissenting vote

A blow to Texas’ gay marriage ban Civil rights leader dies

The City Council, which had set the fees at zero in 2011 to try to stimulate construction spending and create jobs, voted Wednesday to set the fees at 50 percent for the next 24 months.

The vote was 7-1.

Albuquerque case marks new front for brain trauma disease — soccer Researchers say former UNM player Grange, who died at 29, had CTE

By John Branch

The New York Times

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated blows to the head, has been found posthumously in the brain of a 29-year-old former soccer player, the strongest indication yet that the condition is not limited to athletes who played violent collision sports like football and boxing.

The researchers at Boston University and VA Boston Healthcare, who have diagnosed scores of cases of CTE, said Patrick Grange of Albuquerque represents the first named case of CTE in a soccer player. On a 4-point scale of severity, his was considered Stage 2.

Soccer is a physical game but rarely a violent one.

Collisions occur, either between players or a player and the ground, but the most repeated blows to the head might come from the act of heading an airborne ball — to redirect it purposely — in games and in practice.

Grange’s parents, Mike and Michele, said Patrick, who died in April after being found to have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, was especially proud of his ability to head the ball. They recalled him as a 3-year-old, endlessly tossing a soccer ball into the air and heading it into a net, a skill that he continued to practice and display in college soccer and top-level amateur and semiprofessional leagues in his quest to play Major League Soccer.

Council ditches paper fee, allows 30-day ‘implementation period’ as law takes effect

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

T

he Santa Fe City Council on Wednesday voted to drop a 10-cent fee in its plastic-bag ban — set to go into effect Thursday — after city lawyers claimed the fee was an impermissible tax.

At issue were two proposed amendments, which passed on a 7-1 vote. The changes will remove a requirement that retailers charge a 10-cent fee for paper shopping bags and postpone enforcement of the plastic-bag ban until March 27 to allow a 30-day “implementation period.”

“I hate to say it, but I told you so,” said

Councilor Ron Trujillo, who cast the sole vote against the changes. “Who’s to say this [10-cent fee] isn’t going to cost the city a lot more down the road?”

Trujillo said he agreed to the amendment to drop the paper bag fee, but he preferred a ban on all plastic bags. The original ordinance, approved by the council in August, will only ban grocery stores and other retail outlets from providing customers with plastic carryout bags that are less than 2.5 mils thick. Restaurants and nonprofits that serve the needy also are exempt. And stores still will be able to provide smaller bags for bulk items such as meat, produce and bakery goods.

Brewer vetoes measure allowing businesses to deny service to gays

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a controversial bill Wednesday that would have allowed businesses in the state to deny service to gays and lesbians if they felt that serving them would violate their religious rights.

Gay rights advocates had denounced the legislation, labeling it a form of legalized discrimination, and Arizona’s two GOP senators and leading Republican candidates for governor had urged Brewer, a Republican, to veto the bill. Several GOP state legislators who had voted for the measure last week have said since then that it was not the right thing to do.

In an evening appearance before reporters in Phoenix, Brewer said the bill “does not address a specific or

pressing concern” and is not part of her agenda.

“I have not heard of one example in Arizona where business owners’ religious liberty has been violated,” Brewer said. “The bill is broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences.”

Brewer told the bill’s supporters that she understands their desire to protect religious liberty but that the bill had the potential to cause more problems than it would solve.

The legislation was passed last week in response to a ruling by the New Mexico state Supreme Court against a wedding photographer who declined to work for a couple’s same-sex wedding.

Retailers have said the mandatory fee was a key element of the plastic bag ban. It was meant to serve as an incentive for shoppers to bring their own reusable bags and to reimburse businesses for the higher cost of paper bags. But without the 10-cent fee, consumers will be more likely to use the stores’ papers bags than bring their own reusable bags, some store managers have said.

“The bag fee does create a level playing field for businesses,” said Dena Aquilina, the general manager at Beneficial Farms and a city Business and Quality of Life Committee member who helped draft the original ordinance.

In brief JERUSALEM — Israel has opened a new front in its attempts to halt weapons smuggling to Hezbollah, striking one of the group’s positions inside Lebanon for the first time since the sides fought a war eight years ago.

This week’s airstrike, meant to prevent the Islamic militant group from obtaining sophisticated missiles, is part of a risky policy that could easily backfire. But at a time when the Syrian opposition says Hezbollah has struck a major blow for President Bashar Assad’s government in neighboring Syria, it shows the strategic importance for Israel of trying to break the Syria-Hezbollah axis.

For now, the odds of a direct conflagration between Israel and Hezbollah appear low. The group has sent hundreds of fighters to Syria and is preoccupied with saving Assad’s embattled regime. Syrian state media reported that army troops killed 175 rebels, many of them al-Qaida-linked fighters, near Damascus on Wednesday, but the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a prominent opposition group, said it was Hezbollah forces that carried out the dawn ambush.

Obama asks for $300B for road, rails ST. PAUL, Minn. — President Barack Obama said Wednesday he will ask Congress for $300 billion to update aging roads and railways, arguing that the taxpayer investment is a worthy one that will pay dividends by attracting businesses and helping put people to work.

Obama announced his plan at the Union Depot rail and bus station after touring a light rail maintenance facility. Funding for surface transportation programs expires later this year, and the White House says 700,000 jobs could be at risk unless Congress renews them.

Flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia dies MADRID — Paco de Lucia, one of the world’s greatest guitarists who dazzled audiences with his lightningspeed flamenco rhythms and finger work, has died in Mexico, officials said Wednesday. He was 66.

The Spaniard had a heart attack while on vacation at the Caribbean beach resort of Playa del Carmen and died in a hospital, Quintana Roo state attorney general Gaspar Armando Garcia told Mexico’s Enfoque Radio.

De Lucia — whose real name was Francisco Sanchez Gomez — was best-known for flamenco, but also experimented with other musical genres. One of his most famous recordings was “Friday Night in San Francisco,” recorded with fellow guitarists John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola in 1980.

Experts: Dogs feel no shame

By Sue Manning

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES he next time you start shaking your finger and shouting “Shame on you!” because your dog chewed up your favorite fuzzy slippers, just remember that no matter how guilty your dog looks, it doesn’t know what your rant is about.

Behaviorists insist dogs lack shame. The guilty look — head cowered, ears back, eyes droopy — is a reaction to the tantrum you are throwing now over the damage they did hours earlier.

“Just get over it and remind yourself not to put temptation in the way next time,” said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.

But scientific findings have not put a dent in the popularity of online dog shaming sites like dogshaming.com and shameyourpet.com or videos like those posted on youtube.com/crackrockcandy.

In the photos and videos, dogs wear humorous written “confessions” and often are surrounded by the remnants of their misdeeds.

There is no question that in some photos, they look guilty of eating, drinking, chewing or destroying something they shouldn’t have.

Dogshaming.com was the first and is among the most popular sites. Since Pascale Lemire started it in August 2012, it has received more than 58 million page views and more than 65,000 submissions.

A submission has to come with a photo showing the dog’s guilty look.

Lemire, who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, also published a book called Dog Shaming, which hit The New York Times best-seller list in January.

“I don’t think dogs actually feel shame,” Lemire said. “I think they know how to placate us with this sad puppy-dog look. My guess is that their thinking is: ‘Oh man, my owner is super mad about something, but I don’t know what, but he seems to calm down when I give him the sad face, so let’s try that again.’ ” She thinks the online dog shaming memes are all in good fun.

“People come for a laugh and camaraderie,” Lemire said. “They see that their dog isn’t the only one who does awful things. People don’t shame their dogs out of anger, they do it out of love.”

Another dog owner helped get celebrities into the trend. In late 2011, Jeremy Lakaszcyck of Boston started putting shaming videos of his lemon beagle, Maymo, on YouTube. Four months later, Ellen DeGeneres ran one of them on her show and comedian Ricky Gervais tweeted it. The popularity of the videos soared, Lakaszcyck said.

He also submitted photos to Lemire for dogshaming.com, which made Maymo even more famous.

Maymo has a naturally sad or guilty face and senses something is wrong if Lakaszcyck speaks in a stern voice. “They know when their owners are angry.

“Maymo can sit for quite a while looking sad because he’s a ham. He knows a treat is coming. His tail usually wags through the wait. It’s like he’s happy on one end and sad on the other,” he said.

One of the first scientific stud-

ies on the “guilty dog look” was conducted in 2009 by Alexandra Horowitz, an associate professor of psychology at Barnard College in New York City. One of her books, Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know, included the findings.

In the study, she used 14 dogs, videotaping them in a series of trials and studying how they reacted when an owner left the room after telling them not to eat a treat.

When the owners returned, sometimes they knew what the dogs had done and sometimes they didn’t.

“I found that the ‘look’ appeared most often when owners scolded their dogs, regardless of whether the dog had disobeyed or did something for which they might or should feel guilty. It wasn’t ‘guilt’ but a reaction to the owner that prompted the look,” Horowitz said.

“I am not saying that dogs might not feel guilt, just that the ‘guilty look’ is not an indication of it.”

Dogs can certainly learn from bad behavior, but rewards or punishment are most effective right after the wrongdoing, said Beaver, the veterinary professor. “The farther it gets from that, the less connection is made with the behavior,” she said. At some point, your dog will probably cower, waiting for you to complete your meltdown, ditch the negative voice and lose the nasty body language, Beaver said.

“Humans have a natural desire to know what an animal is thinking, and yet we are limited to reading body language and measuring physiological reactions,” Beaver said. The bottom line is: “We will never truly know because we cannot ask them.”

More than 8 in 10 Democrats say they want Hillary Rodham Clinton to run for president in 2016, showing a level of interest in her that no other potential candidates — Democrat or Republican — come close to matching among their party’s voters, according to a New York Times/CBS News Poll.

The potential candidates drawing the most interest after Clinton are Vice President Joe Biden, former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. For each of them, about 40 percent of self-identified members of their party said they hoped the person would run.

As for Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey — the man who many had once thought to be an early Republican favorite — more in his party say they do not want him to seek the presidency (41 percent) than say they do (31 percent).

The election, of course, is far off.

But the level of enthusiasm among voters for candidates in their own party still matters. While Democrats appear overwhelmingly eager for a Clinton candidacy, the poll suggests that the Republican field, at least at this early stage, is far more muddled.

Thirty-two percent of Republicans say they want Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida to run, although Rubio also seems to have fewer detractors than Bush or Paul.

Only 15 percent of Republicans said they did not want Rubio to run, compared with 21 percent for Paul and 27 percent for Bush.

Twenty-four percent said they hoped Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas would run, compared with 15 percent who said they did not want him to. Fiftynine percent do not know enough about Cruz to say.

The poll did not ask about several other potential Republican candidates, including Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

On the Democratic side, a majority were unable to offer opinions on some other Democrats seen as potential candidates.

Democrats were divided over Biden, with 42 percent saying they wanted him to run and 39 percent saying they did not, the poll found.

Male and female Democrats expressed similar levels of interest in Clinton.

A potential Clinton candidacy also drew the strongest support among self-described independents, with 52 percent saying they hoped she would run.

The nationwide poll is based on telephone interviews conducted Feb. 19-23 on landlines and cell phones with 515 Democrats, 519 Republicans and 550 independents.

Each has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 6 percentage points.

By Manny Fernandez The New York Times

If the 5th Circuit honors those precedents, then today’s decision should be overturned and the Texas Constitution will be upheld.”

Saying that Texas voters had already decided, Gov. Rick Perry said in a statement that state officials “will continue to fight for the rights of Texans to selfdetermine the laws of our state.”

The ruling by Garcia, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1994, was the latest in a series of legal reversals that have overturned bans or lifted restrictions on same-sex marriage in several states, some in the South and the Bible Belt. A federal judge overturned Virginia’s ban early this month, a day after Kentucky was ordered to honor same-sex marriages performed in other states. In Oklahoma, the state’s amendment barring same-sex marriage was recently ruled unconstitutional, while a federal judge

in Utah reached the same conclusion about that state’s amendment.

In the Texas case, lawyers for two gay and lesbian couples who sued the state had argued that the ban on samesex marriage perpetuated discrimination and put a financial, legal and emotional burden on homosexual couples.

One couple in the case, Cleopatra De Leon and Nicole Dimetman, traveled to Boston in 2009 to get married, but Texas does not recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, under one law overturned Wednesday.

De Leon is the biological mother of the couple’s 2-year-old son, but Dimetman had to adopt the child because Texas did not consider her the child’s parent.

“Ultimately, the repeal of Texas’ ban will mean that our son will never know how this denial of equal protections demeaned our family and belittled his parents’ relationship,” De Leon

Orders military exercise of ground and air forces.

The orders came as thousands of ethnic Russians gathered outside the regional parliament in Crimea’s capital, Simferopol, to protest the political upheaval in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, that felled the government of President Viktor F. Yanukovych.

Crimea was a part of Russian territory until the Soviet Union ceded it to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine in 1954.

“Crimea is Russian!” some of the protesters screamed as brawls erupted with rival demonstrations by Crimea’s ethnic Tatars — the region’s indigenous Turkic, Muslim population — supporting the new interim authorities.

Speaking to a small group of reporters in Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry said it was important for the Russians “to heed those warnings as they

think about options in the sovereign nation of Ukraine.”

Kerry did not specify what the United States was prepared to do. Kerry also said the United States was considering a $1 billion package of loan guarantees to Ukraine.

Russia has refused so far to recognize the legitimacy of the new political powers in Ukraine’s Parliament and denounced their actions.

Two days earlier Prime Minister Dmitry A. Medvedev said the turmoil posed “a real threat to our interests and to our citizens’ lives and health.”

and Dimetman said Wednesday in a statement. “We look forward to the day when, surrounded by friends and family, we can renew our vows in our home state of Texas.”

In court papers and at a recent hearing, the state’s lawyers argued that the Supreme Court decision in June, which declared parts of the federal Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, left states the authority to define and restrict marriage. The lawyers denied that Texas’ laws were rooted in prejudice, linking the bills instead to the state’s interest in protecting traditional marriage to promote procreation and child-rearing by a mother and a father in “stable and enduring family units.”

And they told the judge that preventing the state from enforcing “democratically enacted legislation” kept state officials from “implementing the will of the people that they represent.”

Veto: Arizona business voiced strong opposition to measure Continued from Page A-1 rowly tailored and would have helped clear up an ambiguity in the state’s law.

“This measure should have been a political no-brainer and only went down because people either chose to ignore the plain language of the bill or refused to read it altogether,” said Tony Perkins, head of the conservative Family Research Council. “This bill … bars government discrimination against religious exercise, so by vetoing this bill, Gov. Brewer is saying she supports government discrimination against people’s religious freedoms.”

But Chad Griffin, head of the gay rights group Human Rights Campaign, said that Brewer’s veto “spared her state from institutional discrimination and economic catastrophe.”

Among the strongest opponents of the bill were Arizona businesses, who worried that it could cost them customers. Some big-name companies, including Apple and American Airlines, publicly opposed the bill.

The state lost the ability to host the Super Bowl in the early 1990s after it declined to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It is set to host the 2015 Super Bowl, and the game’s host

committee spoke out against the law Monday.

The bill passed through the GOPcontrolled state legislature quickly last week, with the state Senate voting for it 17-13 and the state House approving it 33-27. All but three Republicans, on the House side, voted in favor.

The measure was the latest in a long line of controversial pieces of legislation in Arizona, which favored Republican Mitt Romney by nine points in 2012 and has long been a national incubator for conservative policies.

In recent years, the state was the first to pass a restrictive immigration

law, which other states have since emulated and part of which was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. It also passed legislation requiring presidential candidates to show proof of citizenship in order to appear on the state’s ballot, a measure Brewer vetoed.

Earlier this year, the state’s Republican Party voted to censure Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for what it labeled his “liberal” voting record. McCain was among those praising Brewer for her veto Wednesday.

“I appreciate the decision made by Governor Brewer to veto this legislation,” he said in a statement. “I hope

that we can now move on from this controversy and assure the American people that everyone is welcome to live, work and enjoy our beautiful State of Arizona.”

Brewer told supporters of the legislation that she understood that “longheld norms about marriage and family are being challenged as never before.”

“Our society is undergoing many dramatic changes,” Brewer said. But she added that the bill “has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve. It could divide Arizona in ways we cannot even imagine, and no one would ever want.”

Sections of the brain of Patrick Grange show the buildup of an abnormal protein called tau.

‘He had very extensive frontal lobe damage,’ said Dr. Ann McKee, the neuropathologist who performed the brain exam on Grange.

Grange: ALS likely linked to brain trauma Continued from Page A-1 Grange suffered a few memorable concussions, his parents said — falling hard as a toddler, being knocked unconscious in a high school soccer game and once receiving 17 stitches in his head after an on-field collision in college.

“He had very extensive frontal lobe damage,” said Dr. Ann McKee, the neuropathologist who performed the brain exam on Grange. “We have seen other athletes in their 20s with this level of pathology, but they’ve usually been football players.”

The damage to Grange’s brain, McKee said, corresponds to the part of the head that Grange would have used for headers.

But she cautioned about broad conclusions.

“We can’t say for certain that heading the ball caused his condition in this case,” McKee said. “But it is noteworthy that he was a frequent header of the ball, and he did develop this disease. I’m not sure we can take it any further than that.”

CTE is believed to be caused by repetitive hits to the head — even subconcussive ones barely noted. Once considered unique to boxers, it has been diagnosed over the past decade in dozens of deceased football players and several hockey players. In December, it was found for the first time in a baseball player. Symptoms can include depression, memory loss, impulse control disorders and, eventually, progressive dementia, scientists said.

Dr. Erin Bigler, professor of psychology and neuroscience and director of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research Facility at Brigham Young, said he was not surprised to learn that CTE was found in a soccer player.

“The brain is a very delicate organ, and it probably can withstand some injury, but the whole issue of repeated injury is a very different circumstance,” he said.

“When it’s moving, it’s moving with its 200 billion brain cells. And those cells are being, in some way, mechanically deformed, some more than others, which gives you an appreciation of what’s going on with these collisions.”

Bigler said he would not be in favor

of players routinely heading the ball, especially young players. The brain is not fully developed until about age 25, he said, making it more susceptible to injury.

Some youth soccer organizations have warned against practicing heading until players reach a certain age, usually between 10 and 14. Some scientists believe those ages are somewhat arbitrary, but they know that parents want to know whether their children should be permitted to head soccer balls.

“The cold, hard reality is that the data don’t exist to address that question,” said Dr. Michael L. Lipton, a neuroscientist and neuroradiologist at Yeshiva University’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine who continues to study the effects of heading. “We’re really in very much uncharted territory. So what should I do with my kid? That basically becomes the kind of risk-benefit assessment we have to make all the time in life.”

Last year, the journal Radiology published results of a study by Lipton and others of 39 amateur adult soccer players, with a median age of 31, who had played soccer since childhood. It concluded that “heading is associated with abnormal white matter microstructure and with poorer neurocognitive performance.”

Lipton said Wednesday that there was probably a reasonable threshold for heading, below which it may cause few problems.

“Above some level, heading is probably not good for anyone,” he said.

After the 2002 death of the 59-year-old Jeff Astle, a longtime player in the English Premier League who showed dementialike symptoms in his final years, a coroner determined that heading the ball probably led to the damage found in his brain. The term CTE was not in wide use at the time, but scientists believe Astle probably had it.

Grange was a lifelong soccer player who starred in high school and played collegiately at Illinois-Chicago and The University of New Mexico. He played for the Chicago franchise of the Premier Development League, a proving ground for future professional players, and in a couple of semiprofessional leagues. He coached and played at an indoor soccer

facility in Albuquerque, his hometown.

Grange was 27 when he was found to have ALS, a degenerative disease of the nervous system that is sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Most of its victims are deep into middle age or older, with the average age of 55 at diagnosis, according to the ALS Association.

Grange’s symptoms began with a sore calf. He soon struggled to walk, and the ALS diagnosis followed. Grange had to use a wheelchair within six months.

Paralysis soon made him unable to feed himself. He died 17 months after the ALS diagnosis.

McKee believes that the damage inflicted to his brain was at the core of Grange’s ALS. “We think the precipitating factor in his case was most likely the trauma,” McKee said. “First of all, he was absurdly young when he developed this disease. And he had considerable evidence of this traumainduced tauopathy, or CTE.” In hindsight, the Grange family said that Patrick showed symptoms of CTE beginning in high school. He struggled to balance a checkbook. He did not understand the repercussions of failing classes. He once left for Seattle to try out for a soccer team, then returned to find he had been fired from his job waiting tables because he never asked for time off. Grange fought depression in the years leading to his diagnosis, his parents said.

When he died, the Granges received a call from Boston University, requesting his brain. Learning that their son had CTE was painful, but it brought some semblance of relief and peace. Like the doctors, they cannot be sure that their son’s death was precipitated by soccer, but they wish they would have discouraged his habit of heading the ball.

“Every park you go by, kids are playing soccer,” Michele Grange said. “And they’re doing headers. And that really bothers me. When I see the little kids playing soccer, even my grandson, for one thing it reminds me of better days.

But on the other, it makes you think of the consequences. And I hope that these kids and their parents are going to see to it that they take care of their heads.”

developers to help cover the cost of roads, parks, police and fire protection.

City Councilor Patti Bushee cast the lone dissenting vote, saying she wanted the fees to be waived by 50 percent for only a year and then for the city to review the ordinance at that time.

“I’m not convinced yet that we need to go beyond one more year,” Bushee said.

“For me, this feels like we’re rushing this before the new council comes on board. The Planning Commission turned this down. You know, I was looking for a compromise, so I can’t support going … the full two years,” she said. “I was hopeful that we would have more input from the public as well, but I see that’s not going to happen tonight.”

Three people testified about the ordinance. Two were industry representatives who spoke in favor of the measure.

The third, Santa Fe resident Stefanie Beninato, spoke in opposition, saying the council was giving preferential treatment to one industry.

“I certainly would like some fee that I have to pay on a regular basis waived by 50 percent,” she said. “I, like many other people who are not in the construction industry, are also having a hard time and have had lots of problems and challenges with the economic climate. I haven’t seen the City Council helping just good, normal, regular citizens in any way. How about waiving half of our utility fees or something like that?”

The Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association and the Santa Fe Association of Real-

tors spoke in favor of the ordinance.

“Our industry is not back by any stretch of the imagination,” said Kim Shanahan, executive director of the homebuilders association. “No matter what you may be hearing in the national press, Santa Fe is still a long way from recovery.”

Coleen Dearing, president of the Realtors association, echoed Shanahan’s remarks.

“It’s not over yet. We are struggling, and this ordinance would continue the growth of the business,” she said.

Land Use Director Matthew O’Reilly said residential construction in the city increased 35 percent since the council approved the original ordinance in 2011.

“That is new residential, ground-up construction. Not additions. Not remodels. And not affordable housing. Market rate housing that had to pay impact fees increased 35 percent in the last 24 months,” he said.

“We can say also that we are now issuing permits, all permits, at a rate of about 84 percent of our maximum year ever.”

O’Reilly said the city was unable to track whether the council’s decision to set the fees at zero factored into a homebuilder’s decision to move ahead on a project.

“Anecdotally, I think there were people that made a decision to go forward while the ordinance was in place, but I can’t say how many of them did that or whether the ordinance was their only reason for doing so.”

Ban: Albertsons says prices won’t go up to offset paper bag cost Continued from Page A-1 “The real goal of this ordinance was for people to bring reusable, washable bags. … And just switching to paper [bags] doesn’t really solve the problem,” she added, ahead of the council’s vote to drop the fee.

“If Santa Fe likes to call itself a ‘green’ city, it needs to act more like one,” she said.

“I wish we weren’t in this situation,” said Councilor Patti Bushee, who voted in favor of the amendments. But she said she hopes the city revisits the issue to find a more permanent solution.

The issue of making retailers charge for paper bags has arisen in other states, notably in Los Angeles County, Calif. In that case, an appeals court ruled that because the retailer was allowed to keep the 10 cents for each paper bag, no revenue was created for the county government, and the charge was not an illegal tax. In Colorado, similar litigation is still pending. Other bans exist in Oregon, Texas, Iowa, New York, Massachusetts, Hawaii and Maryland.

Assistant City Attorney Zachary Shandler said last week that even though the charge was upheld in California, “the analysis was not helpful” to Santa Fe’s ordinance, and New Mexico law is different as far as what a municipality is allowed to tax.

But Gene Valdez, executive

director of the New Mexico Grocers Association, disagreed with city officials on the 10-cent fee. He said it would have helped offset the costs to retailers of buying more paper bags.

Valdez said most retailers will adapt to the plastic-bag ban and will encourage customers to buy reusable bags.

“At this point, there’s not much we can do,” he said.

“This was just a bait-andswitch thing with the council.”

Paul Bancourt-Turner, regional spokesman for Albertsons, said the chain has advertised to customers that plastic bags won’t be available at its local stores, but paper bags will be available for free. The store also will have reusable bags for sale. He said prices wouldn’t go up on store goods to offset the costs of buying more paper bags. “It will be the customers’ choice if they want to use paper bags or reusable bags,” he said.

But he told the council Wednesday night that his “fear is we’re going to be pushing people from plastic to paper.”

The city has been conducting an educational campaign on the issue and distributing reusable shopping bags. More information is available at a city-hosted Web page: www. bagtodiffersantafe.com.

Behind the obesity rate drop Experts point to healthier food options, less soda, longer breast-feeding

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Is the anti-obesity message finally getting through?

A marked drop in the obesity rate among preschoolers in the U.S. has researchers and parents pointing to a variety of possible factors.

Among them: public-awareness campaigns to get parents to serve healthier food to their children; a drop in soda consumption; healthier menus at fastfood chains; more access to fruits and vegetables in some neighborhoods; changes in government food aid; and longer breast-feeding, which is often associated with improved weight control.

“We’re not done yet, but this does show that parents really need to be the commanders of their own ship and manage the food environment for their kids at home,” said Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian and associate professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.

The glimmer of hope was contained in a government report issued Tuesday that showed that the obesity rate among children 2 to 5 years old dropped by nearly half over a decade, from 14 percent to 8 percent. That is encouraging in part because obese preschoolers are more likely to be obese as they get older.

Overall, though, both adult and childhood obesity rates have been flat in the past decade, and dietitians, weight experts and doctors warned that the problem is not going away.

“This is the problem of our generation. We are starting to make some progress, but there’s really still a lot more to do,” said Scott Kahan, an obesity treatment and prevention specialist and public health researcher at George Washington University.

For example, while first lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign and other efforts over the past 10 years have raised awareness, stumbling blocks remain for the poor and for working parents.

“They know their children should be more active, but it’s hard for them to get

them to the park. They’re tired, and it’s complicated,” said Sarah Barlow, director of the Center for Childhood Obesity at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston and an associate professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. “It’s an ordeal to get out of the house.”

Here’s a look at the changing healthrelated landscape that may have contributed to the drop in preschool obesity: Parents setting the example Sherlyn Pang Luedtke, a parenting coach, said parents can improve their children’s eating habits, even if their own were less than stellar.

“I was raised eating fried eggs and rice almost every day for breakfast,” said Luedtke, who grew up near downtown Los Angeles and now lives in the suburban San Fernando Valley.

She and her husband have a 9-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter, and the family sticks mostly to vegetarian fare.

Sugary drinks Consumption of carbonated soft drinks has been in decline in the U.S. since 2005, said John Sicher, editor and publisher of the news and data service Beverage Digest. It has decreased from 10.2 billion cases a year to 9.2 billion.

In 2004, the average American drank 52.4 gallons of carbonated soft drinks a year. In 2012, that was down to 43.8 gallons. Consumption of bottled water has grown consistently over that period.

Between 1999 and 2010, daily calories from soda consumed by 2- to 5-yearolds decreased on average from 106 to 69, according to the government.

Fast food McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and other chains have changed their

menus in recent years. They haven’t stopped serving Big Macs and french fries, but they are offering more foods to appeal to health-conscious diners, such as apple slices in Happy Meals, egg whites for breakfast sandwiches and whole-grain bread.

Government benefits Changes in the federal Women, Infants and Children program, which provides food vouchers for the poor, may also be encouraging healthier eating. The changes — instituted in 2009 — eliminated juice from infant food packages, provided less saturated fat and made it easier to buy fruits and vegetables.

Breast-feeding Women are breast-feeding their babies longer, according to government figures. And some researchers believe breast-feeding helps children regulate their intake of food, thereby lowering their risk of obesity later on.

Of infants born in 2010, 49 percent were breast-feeding at 6 months, up from 35 percent in 2000. The breastfeeding rate at 12 months increased from 16 percent to 27 percent during that time period.

Judy Dodd, a University of Pittsburgh assistant professor in nutrition and dietetics, said government programs and other services have encouraged breast-feeding by providing free or low-cost breast pumps, access to refrigeration and more offices with private, comfortable rooms where new moms can pump on the job.

“When a woman goes back to work, how does she continue to breast-feed?

That’s the biggest challenge I’m hearing, and there have been improvements,” Dodd said.

Mental illness risk higher for children of older dads, study finds

By Benedict Carey The New York Times

Children born to middle-aged men are more likely than those born to younger fathers to develop any of a range of mental difficulties, including attention deficits, bipolar disorder, autism and schizophrenia, according to the most comprehensive study to date of paternal age and offspring mental health.

In recent years, scientists have debated based on mixed evidence whether a father’s age is linked to his child’s vulnerability to individual disorders like autism and schizophrenia. Some studies have found strong associations, while others have found weak associations or none at all.

The new report, which looked at many mental disorders in Sweden, should inflame the debate, if not settle it, experts said. Men have a biological clock of sorts because of random mutations in sperm over time, the report suggests, and the risks associated with later fatherhood may be higher than previously thought.

The findings were published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.

“This is the best paper I’ve seen on this topic, and it suggests several lines of inquiry into mental illness,” said Dr. Patrick F. Sullivan, a professor of genetics at the University of North Carolina, who was not involved in the research. “But the last thing people should do is read this and say, ‘Oh no, I had a kid at 43, the kid’s doomed.’

The vast majority of kids born to older dads will be just fine.”

Dr. Kenneth S. Kendler, a professor of psychiatry and human molecular genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University, also urged caution in interpreting the results.

“This is great work from a scientific perspective,” he said. “But it needs to be replicated, and biomedical science needs to get in gear and figure out what accounts for” the mixed findings of previous studies.

The strengths of the new report are size and rigor. The research team, led by Brian M. D’Onofrio of Indiana

University, analyzed medical and public records of some 2.6 million people born in Sweden from 1973 to 2001.

Like many European countries, Sweden has centralized medical care and keeps detailed records, so the scientists knew the father’s age for each birth and were able to track each child’s medical history over time, as well as that of siblings and other relatives. Among other things, the analysis compared the mental health of siblings born to the same father and found a clear pattern of increased risk with increasing paternal age.

Compared with the children of young fathers, ages 20-24, those born to men age 45 and older had about twice the risk of developing psychosis, the signature symptom of schizophrenia; more than three times the likelihood of receiving a diagnosis of autism; and about 13 times the chance of having a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder. Children born to older fathers also tended to struggle more with academics and substance abuse.

The researchers controlled for every factor they could think of, including parents’ education and income. Older couples tend to be more stable and have more income — both protective factors that help to temper mental problems — and this was the case in the study. But much of the risk associated with paternal age remained.

“We spent months trying to make the findings go away, looking at the mother’s age, at psychiatric history, doing sub-analyses,” D’Onofrio said.

“They wouldn’t go away.”

The researchers say that any increased risk due solely to paternal age is most likely a result of the accumulation of genetic mutations in sperm cells. Unlike women, who age with a limited number of eggs, men have to replenish their supply of sperm cells. Studies suggest that the cells’ repeated reproductions lead to the accumulation of random errors over time, called de novo mutations.

Most such mutations are harmless, geneticists say, but some have been linked to mental disorders.

LOCAL NEWS Council OKs study to evaluate hospital care Committee makeup draws skepticism from Christus nurses

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

The Santa Fe City Council on Wednesday authorized a group to examine the state of health care here, with a specific eye on Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center.

While nurses at the hospital applauded the decision to form a study committee, some were skeptical of its makeup, which

they believe is weighted in favor of the hospital’s management.

“For all of us to sit down and discuss issues related to the hospital and patient care is wonderful,” said Diane Spencer, a registered nurse at Christus St. Vincent. “… The hospital has not been transparent on a lot of issues for a long time.”

But Spencer was disappointed that rank-and-file physicians at the hospital will not be included in the study group. Instead, the City Council chose Christus St. Vincent’s recommendation to include its chief medical officer.

“It is a filter,” Spencer said.

“I think the hospital is trying to weight [the committee] with management and administrative folks. That’s why they want to have the chief medical officer instead of the people who are in the trenches.”

David Delgado, president of the nonprofit SVH Support, which helps guide the hospital’s financial operations, said the chief medical officer is suitable to represent St. Vincent physicians because doctors choose the chief medical officer, and that person can speak to all aspects of patient care at the hospital.

That satisfied City Councilor

Patti Bushee, who withdrew her proposal to add Christus St. Vincent doctors to the committee.

Interests that will have seats on the study group include the City Council, the County Commission, the hospital board, SVH Support, city and county directors of community service, Christus St. Vincent’s vice president for community health, the chief of emergency medicine at the hospital, La Familia Medical Center, Southwest CARE Center, Presbyterian Medical Services, Indian Health Services, a mental health care provider, two Santa

Fireworks, smoking bans go into effect on state lands Land commissioner says restrictions are aimed at preventing wildfires

By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Thousands of square miles of drought-stricken New Mexico are now off-limits to fireworks, open fires and smoking until further notice.

State Land Commissioner Ray Powell put the state on notice Wednesday, saying his decision to prohibit potential fire-starting activities on state trust land is aimed at preventing the kind of catastrophic wildfires that raced through New Mexico’s tinder-dry forests and grasslands a couple of years ago.

Powell pointed to the severe drought, the potential for gusty winds and dense vegetation around the state.

“The past three years have been some of the driest and warmest on record,” he said. “It is important to do what we can to prevent unplanned, human-caused fires.”

The fire season in New Mexico is already underway. Earlier this month, there were a few brush fires over the course of two days in the Rio Grande Valley of Central New Mexico, fires in the Gila National Forest in the southwest and several spot fires in the overgrown mountains east of Albuquerque.

Bernalillo County fire officials blamed the fires in the East Mountains on fireworks.

“With our dry, windy conditions and the drought situation, these small fires could have grown into a major fire very quickly,” County Fire Marshal Chris Gober said.

This winter has been much drier than normal for New Mexico and is on track to be the third driest winter on record, according to the National Weather Service. Precipitation is only 35 percent of normal, snowpack is dismal across all of New Mexico’s mountain ranges, and reservoirs remain low.

Aside from the fireworks and smoking prohibitions, Powell said the State Land Office is trying to get a jump on the problem through forest thinning projects and prescribed fires aimed at reducing fuel loads.

This year, the State Land Office is getting $250,000 in state funds to continue the work.

The agency has treated more than 7 square miles over the past two years, Powell said.

majority of New Mexico voters and sportsmen want to see management of the 89,000-acre Valles Caldera National Preserve turned over to the National Park Service, according to a recent poll.

A lot fewer of those surveyed liked the idea of handing the preserve’s management to the New Mexico Game and Fish Department.

Albuquerque-based Research & Polling Inc. surveyed 400 voters and an additional

100 voters the company identified as hunters and anglers. Of the general voters, 64 percent favored the National Park Service managing the preserve and 13 percent opposed the idea, said Brian Sanderoff, president of the polling firm. Among the sportsmen polled, 69 percent approved of Park Service management and 9 percent were opposed.

“Broad-based voter support for the National Park Service initiative cuts across demographic, regional and political lines,” Sanderoff said.

The Valles Caldera National Preserve in the Jemez Mountains has been managed by

court challenges, and was the organization’s first education director.

In addition, he created the Massachusetts Undergraduate Teacher Training Bilingual Program while he was an educational doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts.

“Dr. Casso was a pioneer in the area of civil rights and education for Latinos,” Arellanes said. “He opened a lot of doors for many and did it because he thought it was the right thing to do.”

Celine Radigan, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, had worked with Casso on some projects. She described him as a man of deep faith and great intelligence who was always willing to offer his services.

“His résumé was just mighty, and his friends and protégés span the globe,” she said.

Civil rights pioneer ‘opened doors for many’

By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Henry Casso, a longtime civil rights leader in New Mexico who worked his way out of an orphanage to become a noted educational scholar and a founder of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, died Tuesday. He was 82.

Casso died at an Albuquerque hospital and had been suffering from a number of illnesses, according to Ralph Arellanes, the New Mexico state director of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Born in Detroit, Casso grew up in an orphanage after his father was severely injured in a train accident. It was at an orphanage, Casso would later say, where he developed a desire to join the priesthood and use biblical stories to fight poverty.

Big fires are as certain as taxes in the Southwest, fueled lately by drought, overgrown forests and climate change.

Wildfires are burning hundreds of thousands of acres, changing landscapes, destroying homes and costing more than a billion dollars a year. Preparing teams to fight them and repairing burned land to reduce flooding after a wildfire costs millions more.

Last year, one wildfire also cost the lives of 19 Arizona firefighters.

The mounting challenges brought more than 150 scientists and land managers together in Tucson, Ariz., this week to brainstorm the best strategies to help Southwestern ecosystems and communities adapt to wildfire.

“This requires re-envisioning our relationship to fire,” said Timothy Ingalsbee, co-director of the Association for Fire Ecology in Eugene, Ore. Communities need to learn to live with fire, said Ingalsbee, one of the conference organizers. “Massive siege-like suppression spectacles that try to contain and control wildfires when conditions make them humanly impossible to stop are hugely expensive to taxpayers, damage the land and put firefighters at unnecessary extra risk,” he said.

While drought and fire have been a normal part of Southwestern ecosystems for centuries, climate change is contributing to larger wildfires and conditions affecting huge swaths of landscape.

“The new fundamental question is, can ecosystems remain intact in light of future climate change?” said Don Falk, associate professor at the Institute for the Environment at the University of Arizona. Landscapescale changes, where wildfires burn 250,000 acres or more, threaten water supplies, wildlife habitat and economic development, he said.

The rate of the changes and the probability of more change ahead in the Southwest as average temperatures increase is raising questions about how land managers should restore forests after a fire. “Do we try to keep things the way they were before climate change, and how practical is that?” Falk said.

Using fire to fight fires is a big topic of conversation at the conference, Ingalsbee said. New Mexico has for years used prescribed fires to reduce the severity of unplanned wildfires.

Prescribed fires used on a regular basis thin out trees and other flammable vegetation, restore overgrown forests to a healthy state and even enrich the soil. Frequent smaller fires managed by fire crews mimic the natural fire cycle that once existed in some forest types, such as ponderosa pine.

The cycle was broken from the late 1800s to the late 1900s as fire suppression, logging and livestock grazing changed the landscape. Southwestern forests grew dense with vegetation and ripe for massive wildfires.

Over the long run, thinning and prescribed fires to reduce the scale and scope of wildfires is a more cost-effective use of taxpayer money than spending

the Valles Caldera Trust and an appointed board since 2000, when Congress approved the purchase of the former ranch. The preserve had an unusual set of experimental mandates to continue operating as a working ranch, protect natural resources, increase access for the public and become financially self-supporting by 2015.

The Valles Caldera Trust has struggled to meet all the mandates and has come up short, in particular with trying to meet the financial mandate.

Preserve: 2010 bill awaiting Senate vote Continued from Page A-6 The National Park Service is a better option for managing the preserve, said Garrett O. VeneKlasen, executive director of the the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, a nonprofit that represents 15,000 members statewide. The organization paid for the Valles Caldera poll.

The Valles Caldera, adjacent to the Bandelier National Monument, is prized by a broad swath of people, from scientists studying climate change to hunters who covet the preserve’s elk.

Hikers, cross-country skiers, anglers and bird watchers enjoy the preserve’s sweeping ancient volcanic landscape, mountain streams and forests.

Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., and former Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., introduced legislation

in 2010 to place the preserve under the Park Service. Udall and Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., reintroduced the measure in 2013. It has passed one committee and is waiting a vote by the full Senate.

“We need to find a sustainable solution for management and protection of this spectacular resource, which is beloved by people across New Mexico and has been proposed for Park Service management for half a century,” Udall said.

Northern New Mexico’s Democratic U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján also supports the bill.

VeneKlasen said the Park Service has the funding, manpower and expertise to manage the Valles Caldera well. He said the preserve needs protection from trespass grazing, poaching and off-road vehicle enthusiasts.

Casso: Worked to battle discrimination Continued from Page A-6 pink, white and yellow roses was included in an exhibit at the Museum of International Folk Art. Many Catholics said they were offended by the artwork.

In an interview with The Associated Press last year, the retired University of New Mexico education professor said his religious training kept him motivated to fight poverty and discrimination. “I think getting a good education is one way to fight all of it,” said Casso, who was on a number of New Mexico education task forces.

“If we can get more Hispanics through college, we could really make a difference.”

Through another program, Project Uplift, he helped students in New Mexico, Texas and

Colorado prepare for high-tech careers.

In retirement, Casso became an advocate for making Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda, also known as “The Blue Nun,” a saint. The 17th-century Catholic icon is lauded in Spain as one of the most influential women in its history and is believed to have influenced the Jumanos Indians to build what is now called the Salinas Pueblo Missions Monument in Central New Mexico.

Last year, Casso led a group of pilgrims to the site after one of his legs was amputated because of diabetes. “The doctor told me I was going to lose my other one. So, I made a promise to Sor Maria that I’d make the pilgrimage if she would help save my last leg,” Casso said in April 2013. “She kept her promise.”

said Alexander Evans, research director for the Forest Guild in Santa Fe. A prepared community would have houses constructed to withstand fire and have properties free of thick vegetation and weeds that fuel wildfires. “There’s a long way to go to get to that golden ideal,” Evans said.

Communities in high fire risk areas, in the meantime, can

follow Ready, Set, Go, an International Association of Fire Chiefs program that seeks to improve dialogue between firefighters and residents, Evans said. The program teaches people to prepare the items such as clothes, medicine and valuables they would want to take in case a wildfire forces an evacuation, as well as a plan for where to go and how to stay in touch with family.

Subject: “ISMS”: A TO J Identify the philosophy expressed as an “ism.” Answers are listed from A-J. (e.g., A: The rejection of belief in the existence of deities. Answer: Atheism.)

Dear Annie: I’m livid. My 14year-old daughter and her friends want to see a certain PG-13 movie on Saturday. But after I read the reviews, I will not allow her to go. Why does the film industry produce movies with words and scenes that are such filth?

We want movies for our children that have decent content and tell stories that have values and drama without us parents always having to worry that what will be said or shown is contrary to what we want our children exposed to.

Can’t some great producer or film school graduate figure that out?

They would be surprised to know how many parents no longer allow their kids to go to the movies, and that means no money in their pockets.

Please, let’s protect their innocence as long as possible before they have to see the world’s ugliness passed off as entertainment.

— Mom Dear Mom: If all kids truly stayed away from PG-13 movies that contained too much violence, sex and foul language, change would come. Unfortunately, that’s not what happens. Your daughter and her friends might stay home, but most kids don’t.

We, too, wish Hollywood would stop pandering to our most base instincts, but as long as the money keeps coming in, that’s what is going to be out there. The only movies guaranteed not to have such material are those rated G and PG. Beyond that, parents have to read reviews and use their best judgment.

Dear Annie: My parents, who were both from West Virginia, met in college and settled in New York. We spent our childhood summers on our grandparents’ farms, and I couldn’t wait to go back. I work now as a special education teacher and live in a small village in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Every summer, my sisters and I get together in New York. Last summer, we met at the home

of one sister who married into wealth. Although I have been ignoring her occasional criticisms about my hair, makeup, clothes and shoes for decades, this summer was particularly difficult. Late in the evening, she began a long satirical monologue about how cheap and ugly my shoes were. A few of the others chimed in, but I don’t hold it against them. They were doing it to avoid being her next target. After all, they live near her and have to endure her ostentatious behavior often. I couldn’t wait to leave.

I value family, especially now that we are older and two of my siblings have passed away. But I’m beginning to wonder. By the time I leave these gatherings, I feel disrespected and diminished. I have close friends in West Virginia who love and value me. I’m wondering whether I should bow out of these summer reunions and limit my exposure to Christmas only. — Thank God I’m a Country Girl Dear Country Girl: You certainly don’t have to subject yourself to such poor treatment frequently, but have you told your sister how her belittling comments make you feel? She may not realize how much she is hurting you and that her nastiness destroys the family closeness you crave. She may claim that she was “only joking,” but still, give her the opportunity to clean up her act before you take drastic action.

Dear Annie: “Tired of Living the Lie” states that her children are hurt because they feel their happy childhood was a lie. It WAS a lie. I am sick of hearing how people put up with a lousy marriage for “the sake of their children.” You do your children a far greater disservice by raising them in a dysfunctional, loveless facade of a marriage than you would raising them as a single parent.

You need to cherish, love and honor yourself before you even think of finding another man.

Dozens help find lost dog

Pet connection

A dog lost for a week after an accident in a remote area of Interstate 25 is safe at home thanks to a community of animal lovers.

More than 50 people from New Mexico, Colorado and Texas offered words of support and helped track Poppy, a 4-year-old pitbull mix, after she fled following the Feb. 16 accident near the Santo Domingo Pueblo exit, Poppy said the dog’s owner, Madelyn, a Santa Fe resident who asked that her last name not be used.

“This is a story with a happy ending,” Madelyn said. “So many times, people just focus on the negative, and sometimes we just need to know there is still good in the world.”

After the accident, Madelyn said she could not find the dog and had trouble returning to the area without transportation.

But a Craigslist posting brought dozens of calls from animal lovers who spread the word and volunteered to take her to the crash site and help search for the dog.

There were several near catches, but the dog seemed disoriented and fearful of the people trying to locate her.

Madelyn said she got permission from the pueblo to look for the dog on tribal land and spent hours trying to find her.

On Sunday, Madelyn said she and Caroline Murphy, who had driven her down to the area, were driving to a spot near the crash site when they spotted a dog running in an open space.

Madelyn said she jumped out of the vehicle and called to her, using Poppy’s name and a nickname she uses for the dog.

Poppy finally recognized her voice, and rushed to her, climbing through a barbed wire fence to reach her.

“I feel it’s a miracle,” she said. “We were just driving out to that spot to get a cellphone signal and there she was. It was just the most amazing moment ever.”

The dog lost about 20 percent of her body weight while she was lost. A veterinarian who examined Poppy told Madelyn that it was amazing she had survived the ordeal.

Madelyn said she’s so thankful to all the animal lovers who came forward to help. “People in Santa Fe care so much about their animals,” she said. “If it weren’t for everyone who helped, I couldn’t have done it.

I’m so appreciative. All these people just took up the cause and wanted to look for her.”

City OKs pay hikes for most workers

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

A majority of city employees, including Santa Fe firefighters, will get a pay increase in July under collective bargaining agreements approved Wednesday by the City Council.

The city has yet to sign a contract with the Santa Fe Police Officers Association.

Negotiations with the city have been at an impasse since November, primarily because of an ongoing dispute over a decision to move officers to a five-day workweek, police Sgt. Matthew Martinez, union president, told councilors. The union didn’t ask for raises, he said.

“We were told specifically there was a flat budget in November, and there was no movement as far as that went,” Martinez said. “All we were proposing as far as our membership goes was to go back to four [10-hour shifts] because

our officers are tired. We want to be with our families.”

Martinez said the union also asked to continue discussions regarding police Chief Ray Rael’s decision to reduce the number of miles, to 15, that officers can drive their squad cars home. The union contends increasing the mileage would help the city police recruit officers who are already trained from surrounding jurisdictions.

Members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3999 and the Santa Fe Firefighters Association Local 2059 told councilors they worked collaboratively with the city’s negotiating team.

The agreement with AFSCME calls for an acrossthe-board pay raise of 50 cents an hour, and the agreement with firefighters calls for a 3 percent increase.

Gov. Martinez taps prosecutor to head Department of Public Safety ALBUQUERQUE — Veteran federal prosecutor Greg Fouratt was named Wednesday

by New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez to run the Department of Public Safety.

Introducing Fouratt to reporters at a New Mexico State Police outpost in Albuquerque, Martinez said he was “an effective leader with tremendous legal, law enforcement and military experience.”

That was the type of leadership the governor said she was seeking for the department.

“His talents and skills will serve New Mexico well in our continuing efforts to keep our families and communities safe.

I am extremely proud to have Greg continue his service to New Mexicans, this time as a member of my state Cabinet,” Martinez said.

The Cabinet secretary for the department oversees the state police, the Motor Transportation Police and the Law Enforcement Academy.

Fouratt, 48, said he was

“honored and humbled” to be chosen and vowed to meet with the heads of every department soon. “I am looking forward to working with the governor and our state’s dedicated public safety employees,” he said.

Fouratt has worked as a federal prosecutor in New Mexico for 17 years and served as U.S. attorney from January 2008 to May 2010.

Born in Santa Fe, Fouratt grew up in Roswell, earned a bachelor’s degree in government from New Mexico State University and received his law degree in 1995 from Texas Tech University.

Fouratt succeeds Gorden Eden, who is stepping down to become Albuquerque’s police chief.

His appointment comes as New Mexico State Police are under scrutiny for recent shootings, including one by an officer who fired at a van full of children after a chaotic traffic stop near Taos.

Funeral services and memorials REVEREND FR. GUADALUPE RIVERA Our beloved brother, uncle, friend, and Shepherd to many people, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, February 22, 2014. He was preceded in death by his parents Teofilo and Estanislada Rivera; brothers Manuel, George, and Ted Rivera; sisters Margaret Rivera, Barbara Dostalik, Julia Silva, and Sadie Padilla; and two nephews and one niece. Those left behind to cherish his memories are his sisters Jenny Romero and Marguerite Geissler (Henry); sisters-in-law Tessie Rivera and Stella Rivera; 34 nieces and nephews; and Florence Quintana, relative, friend and neighbor who, together with her mother, graciously and generously allowed Fr. Rivera to build his house upon their property. Since his retirement, Fr. Rivera was grateful and thankful for the love, care, and support given by Florence.

Fr. Rivera was born on February 28, 1920 and raised in Sile, New Mexico.

He was ordained on June 4, 1949, following studies at Lourdes School in Albuquerque and St. Thomas Seminary in Denver, Colorado. His career as a priest has been devoted to the northern part of New Mexico. His first assignment as a priest was June 27, 1949 as Parochial Vicar Protem at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Las Vegas, NM. On October 22, 1949, he was appointed Parochial Vicar at the same parish.

On May 1, 1950, he was appointed Administrator of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Sapello and served until February 28, 1951, when he was appointed Administrator of St. Anthony’s Church in Penasco. On January 1, 1954, he was appointed Pastor of the Parish, which he served until March 17, 1958, at which time he was appointed Pastor of San Juan Nepomuceno Church in El Rito. That assignment lasted until May 5, 1961, when he was assigned Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Nambe. In 1966, Archbishop James Peter Davis assigned him Pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Pojoaque. While there, he was instrumental in building the new Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, rectory, and the youth and CCD centers in the Parish.

In May 16, 1972, he was honored with appointment as Pastor of St. Anne Parish in Santa Fe. He was thrilled and honored to have served this Parish until his retirement. On January 17, 1992, permission was granted to retire by Archbishop Robert F. Sanchez and the Personnel Board from the Pastorship of St. Anne Parish, effective May 15, 1992.

Other assignments were Archdiocesan Consultor in August of 1974 for three years. In September 1, 1977, he was reappointed Archdiocesan Consultor to a one year term. In December of 1989, he was appointed as a member to the Archdiocesan Personnel Board.

Since his retirement, he had been blessed with good health and a very joyful and happy retirement.

Occasionally, he assisted some of the pastors in the Archdiocese. He also enjoyed playing cards (CunCan), eating out with family and friends, reading, listening to music, and "visiting" the casinos.

He will always be grateful and thankful for the love and support given to him by the Archbishops, Priests, Deacons, Sisters, Brothers, and the People of God. The challenges were many and the tasks not easy but working together and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, his vocation as a priest was very fulfilling and a BLESSING. The family wishes to thank Annabelle Silva, Florence Quintana, and Orlinda Torres for the loving and compassionate care they provided to Father on a daily basis and caregivers Teresa Griego and Diane C. Perkins, for the tenderness and companionship provided this past year.

A rosary will be held Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., with public visitation beginning at 6:30 p.m. at St. Anne Parish. A public visitation will be held on Friday, February 28, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (on his birthday) where a Mass of Christian burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. at The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. Following the Mass, Fr. Rivera will be taken to his final resting place at Rosario Cemetery. A reception will follow at the Fr. Guadalupe Rivera Parish Hall at St. Anne Parish.

Serving as Pallbearers are: Frank Silva, George Rivera, Jr., Ted Rivera, III., David Romero, Charlie Padilla, and Patrick Geissler. Honorary Pallbearer is Gilbert Silva.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Anne Church, 511 Alicia St., Santa Fe, NM 87501.

ANTONIO (TONY) RODRIGUEZ HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Instead of a card, we send our Love; Instead of a gift, a prayer; To the one we thought the world of and miss beyond compare.

Your loving family PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal.

You who give me the divine gift to forgive all evil against me and that in all instances of my life, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again in spite of all material illusion, that I wish to be with you in eternal glory.

Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer for three consecutive days. After three days the favor requested will be granted even if it may appear difficult. This prayer must be published immediately after the favor is granted without mentioning the favor. Only your initials should appear at the bottom.

Full-time mayor is wrong approach for city

T

here have been several elections since the people of Santa Fe voted in favor of requiring some sort of runoff election for mayor. I believe the specified method was the so-called “automatic runoff” aka “ranked choice voting.” If there has been any progress toward this end, or even serious effort made in that direction, I am unaware of it.

Now we are being asked to vote in favor of a full-time mayor with increased dictatorial powers. I say, no way. In many past city elections, some winners garnered much less than 40 percent of the total vote. That was already unreasonable and potentially disastrous. Putting that person into the new “strong mayor” position is beyond irresponsible.

No full-time mayor without a run-off.

Getting it done We are residents of District 3 with three candidates for City Council. Forget the mayoral race for a minute. Southsiders need some newsprint here. Carmichael Dominguez is a determined, compassionate, highly effective city councilor who has spearheaded improvements, like landscaped traffic medians on Airport Road, removing alcohol advertising signage, helping establish Sidewalk Angels of Tierra Contenta, forming partnerships with nonprofits and community foundations to make sure our side of town gets our fair share of gross receipts revenues and city services. Soon to come: a health clinic, grocery stores, parks and clean sidewalks. Yes, it is in the works and is not finished, but if anyone decides to look into it, you will find that Carmichael Dominguez has the ball rolling and is getting it done. Vote March 4.

Best for mayor I am voting for Patti Bushee because of her integrity, insight and courage to take unpopular stands in the interest of Santa Fe. She truly cares about making Santa Fe better for each of us.

Recent letters from readers, along with public comments

by Javier Gonzales and his supporters, have distorted Bushee’s record on numerous issues. I’ve fact-checked many of the charges and offer the following evidence.

About Bushee’s support for financing the Buckman Direct Diversion project, she voted yes seven times (out of the nine votes on this issue in more than three years) to finance the project, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. She was absent for one vote, and voted no on the bill mandating annual rate increases to city water customers after trying, along with three other councilors, to amend the bill. Bushee has voted consistently in support of funding the Buckman project.

She voted against certain bonds in 2011 because of the lack of transparency and fiscal

Santa Fe

The real deal I support Patti Bushee for her courage, her diligence, her brains and her dedication to the people she serves. I truly believe she has the skills and sensitivity it takes to lead this City Different.

When Patti Bushee speaks, she is well-informed. When Javier Gonzales speaks, he speaks in a sound bite.

Patti Bushee’s campaign is not as glamorous as Javier Gonzales’ campaign, but many of the issues that Santa Fe is facing are also unglamorous.

I cannot begin to tell you how many comments I’ve read invalidating Patti Bushee’s work and her contributions to this city. For 20 years, Patti has been there in the trenches on many diverse issues. She is the best choice based on her record, her experience and her dedication. She’s the real deal.

Different traits Certainly, the City Different.

One candidate is a financial conniver who may wreck public campaign financing.

A second candidate has a personal style that even those who have worked most closely with cannot support.

A third seems an honorable and affable person, but who apparently has an aversion to speaking with citizens in groups.

Only one of these character traits would seem to be remediable.

Bill Dimas for mayor.

Santa Fe needs a real leader.

A mayor who is able to generate unity, trust and take us to the next challenge.

I want a mayor not passive as the last two. They acted (for eight years each) more as councilors than mayors.

I want a mayor capable to understand the mechanics of society: one who cares for the family — fundamental in the development of any group; one who is the product of the Santa Fe culture; one who listens to all.

Bill Dimas is the best option in this coming election. As a matter of fact, I sent a letter to the newspapers emphasizing his family values. Bill Dimas has experience to work in city issues; Bill knows the wants and needs of ordinary citizens and most important Bill has a family to honor.

If your civic mind wants a clear option, vote for Bill Dimas.

Sergio Rodriguez Romo

Community health As former deputy secretary of the New Mexico Department of Health, I urge you to vote for Javier Gonzales for mayor. Javier totally gets community health issues.

As county commissioner, he worked to implement effective, well-funded health programs and led the effort to establish the County Community Services Department and Health Policy and Planning Commission.

One innovative idea he has is exploring programs that enable Emergency Medical Technicians to provide preventive care to the 60 percent of uninsured residents they transport to the emergency room. He asks, “why not use the trained EMT workforce to help service and improve the outcomes for these patients?”

EMTs are a valuable link to making a healthy Santa Fe. Javier understands the role of the city’s basic services and our health, safety and welfare.

We are lucky to have him as a candidate.

espite Gov. Jan Brewer’s decision to veto Arizona’s latest hate-filled law, it’s important to understand that what happened in Arizona under the guise of protecting religious freedom was no accident.

The statute passed by the Arizona Legislature — Senate Bill 1062 — would have allowed private businesses to refuse service based on their religious convictions. It went further than one recently defeated in Kansas, but various so-called religious liberty laws are being discussed in at least 14 states, according to The Wall Street Journal.

In Arizona, lawmakers amended the state Religious Freedom Restoration Act (similar to a federal statute approved while Bill Clinton was president). While the outcry focused on the proposed law’s impact on lesbian and gay people, the law — on its face — was not about homosexuality. Instead, it was purported to be about religious freedom. The law would have ensured a business owner or employee didn’t have to serve a customer if it would violate her religious beliefs, offering protection from a discrimination lawsuit.

One factor behind the proliferation of these laws, many believe, is a suit out of New Mexico that ended in a state Supreme Court ruling that a photographer could not turn down a gay couple’s same-sex commitment ceremony because of religious reasons. The photographer is asking for her case to be heard by the Supreme Court; states so concerned about religious liberty could just await the justices’ decision, saving everyone a lot of bother.

We held then, and still believe, that individuals who open a business to the public should serve the public.

Period. Discrimination is wrong, especially in a world where some so-called Christians still believe interracial marriages violate God’s law. This isn’t about freedom of conscience, it’s about freedom to discriminate — based on appearance, perception and prejudice.

And the law — like so many — would have had unintended consequences. As many commentators pointed out, would Arizona lawmakers have been comfortable with Muslim cab drivers refusing to drive women whose heads are uncovered? Perhaps meat market employees or waiters could refuse to serve bacon to customers. After all, eating pork violates the teachings of many religions. Wedding photographers and cake bakers who are so offended by gay couples could start offering questionnaires — no wedding services to divorced couples or people who are having premarital sex. That way, potential customers would know which contradictions of biblical teachings could get them shunned. The veto stops such shenanigans in Arizona, but laws like this remain alive in other states.

The strength of the United States is that unlike so many places in the world, citizens decided long ago to hold fast to religions (or a lack of one) without forcing those beliefs on others. Today, the tolerance that is our country’s signature achievement is under attack — by the very people who claim to hold the Constitution dear. While Gov. Brewer dithered, groups such as the Hispanic National Bar Association voted with their feet. The association announced, whatever the governor’s decision, that it will not meet in Arizona come 2015. Discrimination is alive and well, it appears. Yet there is good news: Today, at least, discrimination costs.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 27, 1914: It must not have escaped notice that all of the prizes for bread and cake making awarded recently were won by married ladies, if not all in the matronly clan, very close to it. Now this is certainly not encouraging boys, that’s certain. Is bread-making becoming a lost art? Does it take years to get to the perfection point, or is it just merely a happen-so. We don’t know.

Anyway it needs looking into. —Alamogordo News.

Feb. 27, 1964: Velarde — Fire of undetermined origin, fanned by an unpredictable wind, completely destroyed the Velarde Apple Shed south of here Tuesday afternoon. Loss was estimated at between $75,000 and $80,000.

Orogrande, gold rush town of the 1890s and early 1900s, may yet see another boom. The March issue of the New Mexico Magazine traces the history of the once-thriving mining town and reports that land promotion is now giving the town a new boost.

Lots are being sold with the hope of interesting personnel of the White Sands Missile Range and to promote expansion and new industries in the area.

James gives mask a try in practice

By Steven Wine

The Associated Press

MIAMI — LeBron James says his new protective mask is hot, uncomfortable and prone to fogging up.

Plus, as teammate Dwyane Wade pointed out, it looks weird.

So James is in the market for design suggestions.

“I’ve been talking to Marvel Comics for the last couple of days, and DC Comics, to try to come up with one of the greatest masks of all time,” James said with a chuckle Wednesday. “So we’ll see what happens.”

James spoke after trying out his new mask for the first time in practice. He plans to use it Thursday when the Miami Heat play the New York Knicks.

The game will be the first for James since he broke his nose last Thursday in a victory at Oklahoma City. He and his mask took part in contact drills Wednesday, and coach Erik Spoelstra was encouraged by James’ progress.

“He’ll give it a shot Thursday,” Spoelstra said. “He was able to go through today without any hiccups.

DARTMOUTH, Mass. — Former NFL star Aaron Hernandez was involved in a scuffle with another jail inmate, but neither man required medical attention, a Massachusetts sheriff said Wednesday.

The brief fight took place around noon Tuesday in a common area of the Bristol County House of Correction in Dartmouth, where only one inmate is supposed to be out of his cell at a time, Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said.

It’s unclear which inmate was the aggressor. Hodgson said jail staff are interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance video to figure out exactly what happened and determine whether disciplinary measures or even criminal charges are warranted.

The jail is also reviewing procedures to figure out how the two inmates were allowed out of their cells at the same time.

Hodgson did not release the other inmate’s name and said he did not know of any previous tension between the two men.

Both Hernandez and the other inmate have been moved to other units until the investigation is completed.

Hernandez, a former New England Patriots tight end, is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder in the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. The Boston man was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée.

‘Mid-major’ finally dies of old age Term has lost relevance over the past decade

By Dave Skretta

The Associated Press

RIP, “mid-major.” It was a good run.

The term that for years has derisively referred to programs residing somewhere outside the major conferences of college basketball has died.

It was 37 years old.

Mid-major had been on life support for nearly a decade as schools such as George Mason, VCU, Butler and Wichita State crashed the Final Four. What had previously been the bastion of blue bloods such as North Carolina, Kentucky and Duke was thrown open to schools with tiny enrollments and modest fan bases, yet enough talent to shake the college basketball establishment.

Its last breath may have come in a ragged gasp as the Shockers rose to No. 2 in the nation this week and Saint Louis elbowed Michigan State and others out of the top 10.

Several coaches had similar reactions: “It’s about time,” Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall said.

“We travel in private planes. We sell out every game. We treat our program the same as a high major in every way,” Marshall said. “Besides, who decides what a mid-major is, anyway?”

The term was born in 1977, when Jack Kvancz — then the coach of Catholic University — was asked about a nip-and-tuck game against Howard University, and he summarized it thusly: “For a game between two mid-majors, or whatever you’d call us, it had anything you could ask for.”

It was a throwaway comment, but one that took hold, becoming part of the college basketball lexicon as the NCAA Tournament exploded in the 1980s into a high-profile event.

Suddenly, any program with a small budget or little name recognition was saddled with the description of “midmajor,” back then an endearing term for the scrappy underdogs.

“March Madness is not made on the Kentuckys and Dukes and North Carolinas,” offered Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson. “March Madness is made by VCU, Butler and Wichita State.”

Yet it was the madness of March that started to bury the term midmajor.

Perhaps no other program has

Texas Rangers lineup has an international flair

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press

SURPRISE, Ariz. — When Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington fills out his lineup card on opening day, he will likely write down the names of players from seven different countries, plus Puerto Rico.

Baseball is clearly universal at Texas.

“When we’re out there on the field, we’re all from the same country. We all represent the Texas Rangers,” said Elvis Andrus, the shortstop from Ven-

ezuela. “Where you come from, or your nationality, actually don’t matter.

When we’re all together, we’re family.”

Yu Darvish, the ace from Japan who finished second in the AL Cy Young voting last season, has been tabbed the opening day starter for the Rangers. His primary catcher is Geovany Soto from Puerto Rico.

The Rangers expected starting infield includes first baseman Prince Fielder (a Californian), second baseman Jurickson Profar from Curacao, Andrus and third baseman Adrian

Beltre from the Dominican Republic.

The planned outfield includes ShinSoo Choo from South Korea, Leonys Martin from Cuba and Alex Rios, who was born in Alabama but grew up in Puerto Rico.

“I was just putting baseball players out there,” Washington said. “Geez, I never thought about all the different nationalities.”

There are players from different cultures and different languages — the Rangers even have a translator well-versed in both Japanese and Spanish.

But what never gets lost in translation is baseball and trying to get the Rangers to the playoffs for the fourth time in five years.

“Whoever can help our team to win ballgames, it doesn’t matter what color. … I don’t think anybody is looking at nationality here, or colors, or anything,” Beltre said. “Baseball is baseball no matter where you’re from, and how you look. If you’ve got the talent to do your job well, you’re going to be welcomed to open arms

James: Star’s aggressive play tends to put him in harm’s way Continued from Page B-1 But he also didn’t take a hit today.”

Given James’ aggressive style of play, he’s bound to receive an inadvertent blow to the face sooner or later. Thus the mask.

“It lessens the impact,” said James, who wore a mask 10 years ago to protect a broken cheek. “You can still feel it, because the nose is still tender. But it definitely lessens the pain.”

James had removed his clear mask by the time media were admitted to the gym for the end of practice, but teammates provided a description.

“He looked like every other player in a mask — it looks weird,” Wade said. “He looks like the LeBron that wore a mask the first time, only about 30 pounds heavier, a little more muscular, a little less hair.”

Said Shane Battier with a grin: “As long as No. 6 is in uniform, he looks all right to me.”

James was on a roll when hurt. On Thursday, he’ll try for his fifth consecutive 30-point game, which would be the second-longest such streak in Heat history.

The Heat have won five consecutive games and trail Eastern Conference leader Indiana by one game. But they’ve been prone to stumble against weak opponents, and their next three games are at home against team with losing records — the Knicks, Magic and Bobcats.

Nine of the Heat’s 14 defeats, including one against the

Heat forward LeBron James grimaces as he lies on the floor with a bloody nose during the fourth quarter of the Feb. 20 game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Oklahoma City. James was struck by Thunder’s Serge Ibaka on a drive to the basket. SUE OGROCKI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Knicks, have come versus teams that are below .500.

“You don’t want to lose to the good teams. And you don’t want to lose to the teams that aren’t as good,” Wade said.

“So then you would be 82-0.

You’ve got to lose to somebody. You can’t play your A game for 82 games, so you have some of those moments.

It happens to every team.

We’re no different.”

Lately the two-time defending NBA champions have been consistently on their A game, in part because of stout defense. They held Oklahoma City to 81 points, which tied the Thunder’s season low, then held Chicago to 79 in a victory Sunday as an antsy James watched from the bench.

The injury-plagued Knicks have lost their past three games, and in their season of upheaval, the latest jarring development came Tuesday.

Point guard Raymond Felton was arraigned on two felony

weapons possession charges following an early-morning arrest.

After going 54-28 last season, the Knicks are 21-36.

“They haven’t forgotten how to play,” Spoelstra said.

“They’ve been injury-riddled all year long, and that’s tough to deal with. That adversity coming into our game is irrelevant. I’m sure they’ll be ready.”

The Knicks split two games earlier this season against Miami, and they’re one of the few teams with a player who can match James basket for basket. Carmelo Anthony has scored more than 40 points in three of the past four games.

James said he’s sorry to see his friend endure such a difficult season in the standings.

“I want him to win, and I want him to succeed,” James said. “Obviously he has been playing great basketball, but I definitely don’t like seeing him lose the way they’ve been losing.”

SPORTS PREP ROUNDUP

Mora beats Monte, heads to championship The New Mexican

The Mora boys basketball team might have punched its ticket to the state tournament on Wednesday evening.

For the fourth time Mora 52 this season, the RangMonte 44 ers beat the Monte del Sol Dragons, this time 52-44 in Sen. Joseph Montoya Gymnasium in the District 2AA semifinal. Mora will travel to the City Different on Friday to play Santa Fe Preparatory in the 2AA championship game.

The Rangers (13-15 overall) were down 26-25 at halftime and were knotted up with the Dragons (14-13) at 35 at the end of the third quarter, but Mora outscored Monte del Sol 17-9 in the fourth quarter to make

its third consecutive appearance in the district championship.

“The guys persevered and picked up the intensity in the second half,” Mora head coach James Branch said. “We needed a lot of defensive intensity because [Monte del Sol] was being patient offensively.”

Branch believes that the win, coupled with a difficult regular-season schedule, should be good enough to get the Rangers into the state tournament.

“We probably have the toughest AA schedule in the state,” Branch said. “I don’t see how we can be overlooked.”

Casimiro Fresquez and Jeremiah Olivas both had 16 points to lead the Rangers, while Jerome Alcon added 10. Omar Ndiaye led Monte del Sol with 20 points while Ryan Vanderham scored 13.

GIRLS LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON 54, POJOAQUE VALLEY 45 The Elkettes were up by as much as 11 points in the first half, but an 8-0 run

by Robertson to end the second quarter helped push the Lady Cardinals to a home win in the 2AAA semifinal in Michael Marr Gymnasium. Robertson plays at West Las Vegas on Friday for the championship.

“We just shut down in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter,” Pojoaque head coach Ron Drake said.

Erica Herrera had 17 points to lead Robertson (14-13) while Chantel Sena chipped in 13 points. Pojoaque (15-13) got a doubledouble from Gaby Casados with 13 points and 13 rebounds and got 12 points from Aaliyah Casados.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Elks: Pressure and depth wore down Raton Continued from Page B-1 group that was sick, and he missed three games because of it. Raton (8-15) was sick of hearing his name announced by the public-address announcer as he dropped 13 of his 21 points in the first half. He hit three 3-pointers to offset what was mostly a chuck-and-duck offensive approach by Pojoaque.

Those were the only 3s the Elks hit in the first half.

“It was one pass and shoot a 3, one pass and shoot a 3,” Trujillo said. “That’s nice when they’re going in, but they weren’t.”

The alternative was to attack the basket, which the Elks finally did late in the second quarter. After the Tigers took a 31-26 lead on a 3 from Craig,

who had 36 points to lead all scorers, Ainsworth responded with a 3 to make it 31-29.

It started a 7-0 Pojoaque run that saw Raton turn the ball over twice against Pojoaque’s press, and the Elks begin to pound the ball inside. Ainsworth had a steal and a layup to tie it at 31 with 1:00 left, then Herrera hit a 10-footer in the lane with :26 to go to give Pojoaque a 33-31 lead.

The trend continued into the second half as nine of the Elks’ 10 second-half field goals were inside of 5 feet. Their ability to get inside led to Tigers fouls and Pojoaque hit 18 of 22 free throws after halftime. The only answer Raton could offer was Craig. He scored eight of the

Tigers’ last 11 points in the third quarter, but his free throws to end the quarter were the last for a crucial 2:37 stretch.

“He’s a good player,” Trujillo said, “but like I told the kids, let him score. Let him score. Let’s not let anyone else get off on us. We just talked about staying the course and in the second half, we started to press more.”

Pojoaque’s pressure and depth simply wore down the Tigers, who turned the ball over five times and made just two field goals in the fourth quarter. An 11-0 run to start the fourth gave the Elks a commanding 55-45 lead after Rodriguez hit a pair of free throws with 4:37 left.

Craig finally broke the cold

snap with a pair of free throws and he scored the next 11 points, but all that did was get Raton to within 64-56 with 1:35 left. He never scored after that, airballing a pair of 3s the rest of the way.

The Elks will play a Taos team that swept the regularseason series, but the second game was by a 70-65 count and that seem to restore some confidence. Pojoaque has won three in a row since then.

“It’s very good,” Ainsworth said of the run. “We’re actually having fun on the court. We’re smiling again. Not so much at the beginning of the year.”

But the Elks have learned the strength of endurance, and at the perfect moment.

No. 3 Arizona demolishes Cal in rematch The Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. — Nick Johnson scored 22 points, Kaleb Tarczewski added 16, and No. 3 Arizona turned its rematch with California into an 87-59 rout 3 Arizona 87 Wednesday night.

Cal won the first California 59 meeting 60-58 on a lastsecond jumper by Justin Cobbs that sent the students pouring onto the court.

Arizona (26-2, 13-2 Pac-12) ran away from the Bears early in the rematch, using a big first-half run and good shooting (50 percent) all game to prevent the season sweep.

NO. 16 MICHIGAN 77, PURDUE 76 (OT) In West Lafayette, Ind., Glenn Robinson III got a late bank shot to roll in as time expired in overtime for Michigan.

The shot capped a remarkable rally. Michigan (20-7, 12-3 Big Ten) trailed by as many as 19 points in the first half, 13 at halftime and never led until the opening basket of overtime.

Robinson, whose father was a star at Purdue, finished with 17 points while Nik Stauskas had 15.

NO. 8 VILLANOVA 67, BUTLER 48 In Villanova, Pa., Darrun Hilliard and James Bell scored 11 points each to lead Villanova.

The Wildcats (25-3, 13-2 Big East) survived one of their worst 20 minutes of the season to win for the ninth time in 10 games.

They needed almost the first 10 minutes of the game to score 10 points, missed eight of their first nine 3-point attempts, and didn’t have a player reach double digits in scoring until midway through the second half.

NO. 19 NORTH CAROLINA 85, N.C. STATE 84 (OT) In Raleigh, N.C., Marcus Paige hit a driving basket with 0.9 seconds left in overtime to cap a career night and help North Carolina to its 10th straight win.

Term: ‘Lesser’ schools find greater success Continued from Page B-1 been as hard on its health as Gonzaga, which made the Elite Eight in 1999 and has been to the NCAA Tournament every year since, earning a No. 1 seed last season.

All that success has changed the way the program is viewed.

The Bulldogs are invited to prestigious tournaments such as the Maui Invitational, and are scheduling home-andhome series — often in NBAstyle arenas that can seat bigger crowds — against the likes of Kansas State.

They’re not the only ones to shrug off the mid-major label.

George Mason didn’t look anything but major in reaching the Final Four in 2006. Neither did Butler when it made backto-back national championships a few years ago, beating another so-called mid-major in VCU in a riveting 2011 national semifinal.

“I think that people that know really our league, and not just us, but other teams in our league, they know we play a major college schedule, in nonconference for sure,” San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said.

“And we not only play them, but we have beaten enough of them.”

That’s why every March, the term mid-major became more difficult to apply.

That continued with the latest round of conference realignment. When Creighton left the Missouri Valley for the Big East, did the Bluejays suddenly became major? And when entirely new conferences such as the American Athletic combined schools from each side of the debate, did it become a major conference or a mid-major one?

“I do think it’s interesting that Creighton was one of the top teams with us the last couple years in this league,”

said Marshall, whose Shockers already have wrapped up the Missouri Valley title. “Now they go to the Big East, considered an elite league, and they’re dominating the league, and us with them gone are having to justify our (30-0) record. That’s an interesting quandary.”

For its part, the NCAA insists that it never labels teams as majors or mid-majors, but it sure becomes point of discussion — or dissension — every time Selection Sunday rolls around.

“We don’t get into conference details,” said Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman, the chairman of the Division I men’s basketball committee.

“We pay no attention to what a team’s label publicly might be, whether it’s mid-major, major.

That is not a factor that we look at.”

Now, it may not be a factor looked at by anybody.

The Shockers are receiv-

ing first-place votes, and Saint Louis remained No. 10 in this week’s Top 25. San Diego State rose to No. 6 before a recent loss, and schools such as Southern Methodist and New Mexico — schools formerly known as mid-majors — are also appearing in the polls.

Thus, the death of the term mid-major appears to be at hand.

It is survived by other more meaningful ways to compare teams, such as RPI, one of the metrics used by the NCAA selection committee. It was preceded in death by the peach basket, short-shorts and other basketball novelties that ultimately outgrew their relevancy.

“You mention Wichita State and San Diego State,” Indiana State coach Greg Lansing said.

“Those two teams, as far as I’m concerned, are high majors.

That’s how they should be viewed.”

Tiger Woods begins his long road to the Masters

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — The PGA Tour season began five months ago. The new year is 2 months old. And yet there’s something about the Honda Classic that makes Tiger Woods and a collection of stars feel as though it’s all about to get underway.

“I think once we get to Florida, I think we’re all thinking about our way to Augusta,” Woods said.

Six tournaments remaining before the Masters, the first major of the year, and this is now serious business. It shows in the strength of the field at PGA National, with seven of the top 10 players from the world ranking.

The last time Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott competed in the same tournament was the BMW Championship near Chicago last summer.

That’s how it was a generation ago, when some of golf’s top players either rested or played overseas early in the season, and then showed up in tropical conditions at Doral to start the official road to Augusta National.

Woods has plenty of work to do based on his early performance — a missed 54-hole cut at Torrey Pines in his lone PGA Tour start this year, followed by a dismal performance — by his standards — at the Dubai Desert Classic, where he tied for 41st.

He conceded that he spent most of his winter break working on his body instead of his golf. Since returning from overseas earlier this month, Woods said he has spent most of his time working on his short game.

Woods isn’t the only player coming off a substantial break.

Scott, the defending champion at Augusta, hasn’t competed since the Sony Open in Honolulu. He spent the following week on the Big Island, surfing and playing a few casual rounds with his buddies, then killed time on the couch or

Rangers: Quality is top priority Continued from Page B-1 everywhere.”

Over the past eight years, the Rangers have developed a strong presence in the Dominican Republic and that branched throughout Latin America. They also started scouting heavily in Japan and throughout the Pacific Rim — that is what led to them bidding big and being able to sign Darvish two years ago.

“Our mentality is we want the best players regardless where they’re from,” general manager Jon Daniels said.

“Obviously it’s worked out that way, where we’ve got a lot of international players. Some of that is because I think we’re open-minded to it, some of it is because a few years ago we set out to establish a program internationally and feel that we’ve done well there.”

The GM also points out that some of the formation of the current roster was the way players became available and the timing of such. He said the Rangers never set out to have an all-international starting lineup.

“It’s unique, and I think each of these guys bring something different,” he said. “I’m kind of looking forward to watching them come together.”

doing anything not related to golf until it was time to get back to work.

He plans to play three of the next four tournaments.

“After three weeks I kind of felt like I needed to start swinging again and started to get the itch, but I think I timed it pretty well, because I’ve had a nice couple weeks of intense practice before getting here and a week of playing with some mates before that,” Scott said. “I feel like I’ve had a nice preparation, but this is a very tough test, and it’s probably not the ideal one to float back in off after an extended break.”

PGA National looks to have as much blue (water) as green (grass), and the course is converted into a par 70 at 7,140 yards for the Honda Classic.

Michael Thompson won last year at 9-under 271.

It wouldn’t seem to favor Mickelson, who has not played PGA National since he was an amateur.

Mickelson missed the last two weeks because his kids were on spring break, spending some of that time skiing and some of that playing golf. He did not want to fly out from California for one tournament next week at Doral, so he added the Honda Classic.

“The greens are really immaculate,” Mickelson said. “If you get hot with a putter, you

can make a lot of putts. But I do like the golf course. I’ve always liked Nicklaus-designed golf courses. I know this course he renovated or redesigned years ago, and it’s a wonderful test of golf, and I think that’s a real credit as to why such a strong field continues to come here.”

This is only the third time Woods has played the Honda Classic as a pro. He rallied with a 62 in the final round in 2012 to finish behind McIlroy, and then struggled off the tee — particularly on the sixth hole — a year ago when he tied for 37th.

McIlroy has his own set of memories from PGA National, not all of them good. Even though he won in 2012 to become No. 1 in the world for the first time, he followed that by playing 26 holes last year before walking off the course with his game in disrepair and his business affairs not much better.

McIlroy said it was a mistake to quit, something he won’t ever do again. But the 24-yearold from Northern Ireland is in a better frame of mind this year. He is comfortable with his equipment. He’s engaged.

He has settled into his own management (though he still is going through a legal battle with his old firm). And he is playing like the guy everyone expected to be the biggest threat to Woods.

NHL

Penguins’ Crosby relieved to return with Olympic gold

By Dan Scifo

The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby’s second Olympic experience was less dramatic and just as rewarding.

Crosby returned from Sochi, Russia, with his second Olympic gold medal, this one as the captain of the Canadian team.

Leading a national team certainly brings a different sense of responsibility, but the same expectation.

“I think everybody feels a sense of pride, but also a sense of relief knowing you were able to do what everybody expected,” Crosby said Wednesday. “It’s not easy to win, but to be able to go in there with the goal of winning and achieve it is a great feeling.”

Now, Crosby and fellow Canadian gold medalist Chris Kunitz are ready for a return to normalcy in the NHL, joining head coach Dan Bylsma and five Olympic teammates, including Russia’s Evgeni Malkin, as the first-place Penguins prepare for a stretch run that features 24 games in 46 days.

“It’s good to get into a routine again,” Crosby said. “Managing rest is something we definitely have to keep in mind.”

Canada steamrolled through Sochi, allowing three goals in six games for its third gold medal in the past four Olympics and record ninth overall.

“Everybody talks about our defense, but I think we were able to control the puck a lot in the offensive zone and when you do that, teams don’t get a lot of time or energy to come against you,” Crosby said.

The Canadians, who became the first team to go unbeaten through the Olympic tournament in 30 years, never trailed,

a dominating effort that culminated in back-to-back shutouts of the United States and Sweden in the semifinals and gold medal Sidney game.

Crosby “The last three games, especially, we were at our best, but I think we got better as it went on,” Crosby said. “The scores were close, but we felt like we controlled the last three games and played the way we wanted to.”

Once again, Crosby’s shining moment came in the gold medal game, this time during the second period against Sweden when he deked goaltender Henrik Lundqvist to the ice before depositing a backhander across the line.

“We hadn’t had a two-goal lead that often up to that point, and with the way we had been playing to get a two-goal lead was nice,” Crosby said. “I think that was going through my mind more than the fact that I hadn’t scored yet.”

It didn’t carry the weight of his Golden Goal, the 2010 overtime game-winner against the Americans, but Crosby’s first goal of the tournament effectively clinched the gold medal for the defensive-minded Canadians.

“It was a great experience,” Crosby said. “Obviously, winning makes it better.”

It was a different experience for Malkin, who came up empty at the Olympics after the host Russians were eliminated on their home soil in the quarterfinal round by Finland.

“It’s not easy, it’s always tough,” Malkin said. “I remember in Vancouver we lost, and

now it’s worse.

“Of course it’s pressure, we played at home. I know everyone played hard, 100 percent, we played together, and I think it’s tough to have lost.”

Bylsma understands Malkin’s disappointment and challenged his star forward to channel the emotion and try to help the Penguins to a deep run in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

“They had the Olympics at their venue,” Bylsma said. “This was their gold medal to win.

There’s disappointment. I talked to Evgeni and probably the third thing out of his mouth [was] Stanley Cup. We need to come back here and focus on that.”

Avalanche deaths spike as storms bring risks with much-needed snow

Dangerous downside

By Phuong Le

The Associated Press

SEATTLE kiers and snowboarders rejoiced when a series of recent storms dumped several feet of snow in the mountains across the West — or, in New Mexico’s case, several inches — after what had been a disappointing start for those seeking fresh powder in the backcountry.

But all the new snow and strong winds in the past month have fueled dangerous conditions from the Cascades to the southern Rockies, prompting forecasters to issue warnings of considerable or high avalanche danger for many places outside of established ski areas.

Seventeen people have died in an avalanche this winter, 11 of them since early February. Many more skirted disaster and survived with broken bones or other injuries. Some were partially buried in snow but managed to dig themselves out or were dug out by companions.

Avalanche experts are seeing a similar problem across the region: too much snow and strong winds overloading weak layers of old snow. With too much stress and not enough time to bond or stabilize, that weak snow layer eventually gives way.

“It’s like putting a brick on top of a pile of potato chips,” said Bruce Tremper, director of the U.S. Forest Service’s Utah Avalanche Center.

Some parts of Utah received more snow in the past three weeks than in the prior three months, he said last week.

The latest death, last weekend, came when a 49-year-old man was buried by a slide while snowmobiling in the West Cabinet Range near the Idaho-Montana border. His friend was buried with only his face exposed but was dug out with

no injuries, according to the Flathead Avalanche Center, which rated the slide forceful enough that it could destroy a car. The avalanche danger the day before, the last time conditions were updated, was high.

That same day in the Whitefish range in western Montana, three other snowmobilers escaped injury in two separate incidents when slides swept them down the slope.

Avalanches have killed on average about

28 people a year over the past 10 years, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center in Boulder, which tracks national statistics. The deaths so far this year aren’t unusually high, experts say, but have come during a short time period that correspond with heavy snows after long periods of dry weather.

What has been unusual is how large and

o you enjoy hiking or biking on Santa Fe’s foothill trails?

Do you ever wonder how the trails and open space came to be or what might have happened if the open space and trail easements had not been preserved? Or maybe you have not had a chance to visit the trails and would appreciate a chance to take an easy hike or mountain bike ride with a friendly and informative local guide. Consider devoting the afternoon of March 7 for Dale Ball Day to enjoy and celebrate our foothill trails, learn how they were developed and see how volunteer efforts continue to be critical to helping the city and county maintain these wonderful community resources.

Last year, in recognition of contributions by Dale Ball to the preservation of open space and the development of public trails in the Santa Fe area, the New Mexico Legislature

Dale Ball Day is March 7 and is a day to enjoy our foothill trails.

declared March 7 as Dale Ball Day. This year, the city of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County and the Santa Fe Conser-

vation Trust, which was founded by Ball, are celebrating Dale Ball Day through a series of activities based at the Dale Ball trailhead, known as the corral, on Sierra del Norte Road just off of Hyde Park Road (N.M. 475).

The recognition will start at 1 p.m. at the corral parking lot with a public recognition of Ball’s accomplishments and a celebration of the continued development of the area’s trail systems. People who love trails will come together to reflect on accomplishments building and maintaining the trail system and to share their vision of the future for Santa Fe’s hiking, biking and equestrian trails. In particular, we have invited Dale and Sylvia Ball, to be honored for their work, as well as City Councilor Patti Bushee, chairwoman of the City’s Bicycle and Trails Advisory Committee. Water, snacks and other goodies will be provided to participants, courtesy of the organizers and their partners.

The general public is strongly

encouraged to join the celebration, which will include opportunities to take a guided hike or mountain bike ride with knowledgeable locals and to see and learn in the field about the important ongoing trail maintenance work being carried out by volunteers working with the Trails Alliance of Santa Fe, the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society and by special arrangement with Santa Fe County, students from The MASTERS Program at Santa Fe Community College. This event also is an opportunity for the Santa Fe Conservation Trust to kick off its new arrangement with the city of Santa Fe to take on the organization of volunteers to maintain the city’s natural-surface trails. Trail maintenance can be hard work, but the setting is hard to beat. Come learn how you can join the effort and become a trail volunteer.

’ve always been drawn more to a swath of untracked powder than a ski race course, more attracted to the spruce trees than the race gates. But inspired by the Olympics and an invitation to race with a team at Ski Santa Fe last Saturday, I decided to put my newly honed analysis of race technique and enthusiasm to the test.

Big mistake.

A squirrel chasing a nut down the slope would have outraced me, and a 9-year-old who weighed about 60 pounds did. But, Daniel humble pie never tasted Gibson so good, as I spent the Snow Trax day hanging out with many of New Mexico’s finest skiers and its old guard, catching up on one another’s lives.

I also saw what a team effort mounting the race requires and the dedication of its volunteers and organizers.

The race, the Ultimate Ski & Snowboard Challenge, was a benefit to raise funds for The University of New Mexico ski team.

Though one of the nation’s top programs — and the only UNM program in any sport to ever win a national championship (2004) — it gets by on a shoestring budget and relies on this series to help it get by.

The races bring in about $20,000.

“We all wish we could do more, but it’s about having fun,” said Guy Jackson, whose Albuquerque company sponsors one of the 25 or so six-person teams competing in the series. “I call it a bowling league on snow — a bunch of us old guys who refuse to quit.”

Jackson has been involved since the series was initiated 28 years ago under the name UNM Corporate Cup. A former member of the UNM team, he first participated as a racer and as a volunteer.

“In the late 1990s, when my architectural engineering business became successful, we began to sponsor teams and races,” he said.

At its peak, almost 500 racers were involved; now it is about 140.

“Snowboarding, we think, took most of the youth out it,” he explained.

But in the past few years, they have made an effort to involve local ski teams, and on Saturday, the start area was filled with lots of teens and preteens, as well as the grizzled weekend warriors.

Among them was a veteran of the regional ski scene, Dadou Mayer.

“What brings me out here is the racing,” he said. “I’ve been racing all my life — for more than 60 years. It’s exciting. It’s in my blood. This is the first year, though, I’ve been involved in this series in many years.

I’ve been away for the previous five years — teaching in Aspen and at Robert Redford’s ski area, Sundance Utah. I came back to help my brother out at his lodge in Taos [Jean Mayer of the Hotel St. Bernard — the subject of next week’s column].”

Mayer was on the French junior national team — alongside Jean Claude Killy — before giving it up to come to Taos in 1958 to help open the St. Bernard.

Another veteran is Keith Naylor of Albuquerque, the southwest sales representative for Dynastar, Lange and Look. A board member, he has been a sponsor of the series since 1990 and is usually present at each of the four annual races. Last Saturday, his task was lining up racers in the start area.

He said, “At the end of the season, we have a banquet that brings all the racers together with the members of the UNM ski team, where we present awards for winning teams, individual skiers and the outstanding UNM team members. That’s where I really come into the picture. We hold a raffle, and I give away lots of equipment. It’s my gig, a personal commitment.”

Another sponsor is Jeff Speck, owner of the general contracting company Jade Enterprises of Albuquerque. He has been sponsoring races since 2000, up to five teams a year. What’s the appeal for him?

“The UNM skiers are good kids and ski their hearts out,” he said. “I love ’em.”

Wayne Harley of Albuquerque is another longtime sponsor and another former Lobo skier.

“I helped George Brooks launch the UNM ski team in 1985, first as a club then as a varsity sport,” he noted. “I still like to race. It helps my skiing, and a lot of my buddies are still racing. It gets the competitive juices flowing a little bit — sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much. But the thing it, we’re out here doing it!”

Yet another sponsor, of two teams, is Phil Custer of Albuquerque, a retired architect.

“I’ve been doing it for more than 20 years,” he said. “There’s a lot of great

Boulder retiree Fred Larke, who recently went backcountry skiing near Winter Park, Colo., makes sure he heads into the backcountry with a friend, an avalanche beacon and a slope meter that helps

him stay aware of steep slopes that are prone to avalanches.

“In reality, the best way to survive an avalanche is not to get caught in it in the first place,” he said.

UNM: Final races set for Saturday in Taos Continued from Page B-5 people involved, and there’s the camaraderie and chance to meet new people.”

Another volunteer is Adam Liessmann of Albuquerque, who was manning the starting gate last Saturday.

“It’s an easy, nice way for me to be able to give back to the ski team,” he explained. “I’ve known a lot of good people over the years who supported it, and so I thought I’d come return the favor.”

Of course, there wouldn’t be a race without the competitors, such as Doug Bell, who grew up in Santa Fe but now works at the UNM School of Architecture.

“I started racing in the fourth grade,” he noted. “I’ve been racing in this series for about 14 years, except a few years when my daughters were young. I’m trying to get a little faster every year — it’s a contest with myself. But there are always a few on the list you are trying to knock off, and they’re thinking the same thing.”

Lisa Lashley of Santa Fe, one of few snowboarders in the race, competed as an unaffiliated racer, paying the $35 entry fee herself.

“I wanted to come out and support the UNM ski team,” she explained.

Lashley used to participate in the USASA series, where she rose to national ranks, landing a silver in GS and a bronze in bordercross before sustaining injuries.

“This brings back good memories of when I did race — the camaraderie, the trips and the fun we had,” she said.

Ski Santa Fe is also a significant contributor to the race series.

Ben Abruzzo, the area’s mountain manager, said they’ve hosted such races for “at least a couple of decades. We provide the course, the snowmaking and some oversight, plus 25 free lift tickets to organizers and half-off lift tickets to racers. It would be silly not to support this. We love skiing, and racing is undergoing resurgence here and we want to support that. It’s really cool to see all the energy up here.”

The top 10 men’s results from Saturday’s morning race were as follows: John Sedberry, Mark Wilson, Steve Dixon, Guy Jackson, Dan Ringheisen, Paul Lium, Doug Bell, Will Jackson, Gary Vogel and Greg Portman.

For the women, the top racers were Megan Jackson, Jessica Speck, Annalies, Petra McDowell and Taylor Portman.

The final races of the season will be held Saturday at Taos Ski Valley. The awards banquet mentioned above will be held in Albuquerque on April 3.

Details and tickets are available on the UNM ski team site or at www.unmsnowchallenge.com.

4 Wheel Alignment check and Multi-Point Inspection. r $FSSJMMPT 3E r 4BOUB 'F

TODAY’S FOURWHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEMS ARE A DRIVER’S DREAM

BY TOM A N D RAY M AG LI OZZ I

Dear Tom and Ray:

My daughter just purchased a used 2004 Honda CR-V with four-wheel drive. My question is: How do you use the four-wheel drive effectively? When do you turn on fourwheel drive, and when do you turn it off ?

IMPORTS

Disclaimer: Up to 5 quarts standard oil and standard oil filter included. Diesel or Synthetic has an extra charge. Only one coupon per household. Coupon expires 02/28/2014 @ 5 PM. Coupon is for one $8.88 Standard oil change service and may not be redeemed for cash.

Thanks. -- Claudine TOM: There are several types of fourwheel-drive systems, Claudine. Your daughter has the best kind -- it’s completely automatic. All she has to do is ignore it.

RAY: Like I try to do with my brother.

TOM: Some, mostly older, four-wheeldrive systems require the driver to turn them on and off with a button or a lever. And while some hard-core off-roading nerds and snowplow drivers may still want that system, most of us are glad it’s going the way of Miley Cyrus’ good- girl image.

RAY: The problem with a manually engaged four-wheeldrive system is that if you engage it at the wrong time, like on dry roads at higher

speeds, you can cause the wheels to bind up, and then you can lose control of the vehicle. It can be very dangerous. And even many people who own vehicles with these systems don’t know how to use them properly.

TOM: Fortunately, now most cars and even most SUVs come with what we call “all-wheel drive�

(Honda calls it “realtime four-wheel drive,� and some manufacturers have different brand names for it). Mechanically, they work in different ways. But they all have one thing in common: The car f ig ures out how much power to send to each wheel on a second-bysecond basis, and does it without you having to do anything.

IMPORTS

But other than that, she can just forget she even has all-wheel drive and just drive the car.
