Municipal League leads charge to revisit ‘hold harmless’ phase-out Inaction in Legislature leaves some uncertainty about future of food taxes

rush to raise taxes even sooner. It raises questions about whether those with the least to spare could be hardest hit by a tax on food, and whether cities and counties will exercise the full taxing authority available to them before the Legislature can do anything to limit it.

The New Mexican

The New Mexico Legislature’s failure to address the thorny “hold harmless” issue during its recently concluded session has set the stage for cities and counties to seek reinstatement of taxes on food, or to

food and some medical services from gross receipts taxes. After that, the state provided hold-harmless subsidies to cities and counties to replace the lost revenue. In last-minute action during the 2013 legislative session, lawmakers passed a bill to

U.S. military must shrink to face new era, Hagel says By Robert Burns

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Looking beyond America’s post9/11 wars, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday proposed shrinking the Army to its smallest size in 74 years, closing bases and reshaping forces to confront a “more volatile, more unpredictable” world with a more nimble military. The nation can afford a smaller military so long as it retains a technological edge and the agility to respond on short notice to crises anywhere on the globe, Hagel said. He said the priorities he outlined reflect a consensus view among America’s military leaders, but Republicans in Congress were quick to

criticize some proposed changes. In a speech at the oneyear mark of his tenure as Pentagon chief, Hagel revealed many details of the defense spending plan that will be part of the 2015 budget that President Barack Obama will submit to Congress next week. Hagel described it as the first Pentagon budget to fully reflect the nation’s transition from 13 years of war. At the core of his plan is the notion that after wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that proved longer and more costly than foreseen, the U.S. military will no longer be sized to conduct large and protracted ground wars. It will put more emphasis on versatile, agile forces that

can project power over great distances, including in Asia. Hagel stressed that such changes entail risk. He said, “We are entering an era where American dominance on the seas, in the skies and in space can no longer be taken for granted.” However, budget constraints demand that spending be managed differently from the past, with an eye to cutting costs across a wide front, including in areas certain to draw opposition in the Congress, he said. He proposed, for example, a variety of changes in military compensation, including smaller pay raises, a slowdown in the growth of taxfree housing allowances

The Fort Sill Apache Tribe owns just 30 acres in southwestern New Mexico, but it calls that land its reservation. Gov. Susana Martinez and her lawyers hold a different view, saying the Fort Sill Apaches are an Oklahoma tribe, and that they only want a toehold in New Mexico so they can open a casino. This dispute, simmering since 2011, next goes to the New Mexico Supreme Court. It will hear arguments March 10 on whether state government should recognize the Fort Sill Apaches as a New Mexico tribe. In briefs filed with the Supreme Court, Fort Sill Chairman Jeff Haozous described gambling as a sidelight to the lawsuit. “While the tribe may later seek to commence gaming operations on its reservation, the case is about recognition by the state of the tribe,” Haozous and the Fort Sill Apache legal team stated. Attorneys for Martinez and the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department frame the dispute differently. They contend that the Fort Sill Apaches’ interest in New Mexico is motivated by the prospect of running a casino in Luna County.

Mother’s 19-year-old boyfriend faces new charges in latest case to shine light on state’s poor child welfare By Susan Montoya Bryan

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — An Albuquerque man accused of beating and raping his girlfriend’s 4-month-old daughter will face more serious charges now that the infant has died, police said Monday. The child died Sunday after spending two weeks on life support. Doctors determined she had suffered brain damage. The child was found with bruises and red marks on her face after authorities responded to the family’s home Feb. 7. Authorities arrested Elijah Fernandez, 19, earlier this month on charges of child abuse resulting in great bodily harm and aggravated criminal sexual penetration. Albuquerque police Officer Tasia Martinez said Fernandez now faces a charge of child abuse resulting in death. Court records show an attorney has yet to be appointed for Fernandez, who was being held Monday at the Metropolitan Detention Center on $100,000 bond. Fernandez admitted to hitting the baby in the face because he was stressed about not having money and was angered by her crying, police said. In a criminal

MISSISSIPPI REOPENS AFTER OIL SPILL

River traffic was halted along the Mississippi River on Sunday, above, but the Coast Guard reopened the normally bustling lower stretch of the river to ships and boaters Monday, two days after an oil spill closed the major inland waterway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. About 31,500 gallons of light crude oil spilled into the river after a tank barge pushed by the towboat Hannah C. Settoon collided with another towboat Saturday officials said. At least 30 vessels had been waiting for the river to reopen, Coast Guard Petty Officer Matthew Schofield said. No one was hurt, all vessels were subsequently secured and there were no reports of any wildlife harmed, the Coast Guard said. GERALD HERBERT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In brief

Also on Monday, Guzmán’s lawyers filed a petition asking a court for an injunction to block any extradition request from the United States. In the past, similar appeals by other drug suspects have taken months, and sometimes years, to resolve.

ENTEBBE, Uganda —Uganda’s president on Monday signed an anti-gay bill that punishes gay sex with up to life in prison, a measure likely to send Uganda’s beleaguered gay community further underground as the police try to implement it amid fevered anti-gay sentiment across the country. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said the bill, which goes into effect immediately, was needed because the West is promoting homosexuality in Africa. Museveni may have defied Western pressure to shelve the bill, four years and many versions after it was introduced, but his move pleased many Ugandans who repeatedly urged him to sign the legislation. Nigeria’s president similarly signed an anti-gay bill into law just over a month ago, sparking increased violence against gays who already were persecuted in mob attacks. Some watchdog groups warn a similar backlash of violence may occur in Uganda.

Drug lord ‘El Chapo’ charged in Mexico MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities have set in motion a legal process that makes it unlikely drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán will soon face U.S. cases also pending against him. The Federal Judicial Council said the hemisphere’s most powerful drug lord had been formally charged under a 2009 Mexican indictment for cocaine trafficking, an action that could start put him on path for a trial that would put any extradition request on the back burn. A judge has until Tuesday to decide whether a trial is warranted. Guzmán, who is being held in a maximum security prison west of Mexico City, could then appeal the judge’s decision, a process that typically takes weeks or months.

CAIRO — Egypt’s interim cabinet resigned Monday in a surprise move that could pave the way for the nation’s military chief to announce his widely anticipated plans to run for president in the spring. The resignation, announced by Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, came amid a wave of labor strikes over the government’s failure to fix the economy and rising popular anger nearly a year after Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was ousted by the military. The cabinet will remain in office in a caretaking capacity until a new one is formed. Its resignation fueled speculation that the military chief, Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, will soon announce a presidential bid.

Supreme Court takes on greenhouse gas case WASHINGTON — The Obama administration squared off at the Supreme Court with industry groups and Republican-led states over a small but important program aimed at limiting power-plant and factory emissions of gases blamed for global warming. The justices heard arguments Monday in a challenge to a regulation that forces companies that want to expand industrial facilities or build new ones that would increase overall pollution to evaluate ways to reduce the carbon they release. Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas. Opponents of the Environmental Protection Agency’s program at issue at the high court call it a power grab of historic proportions. The Associated Press

Note to our readers

ear readers, Some months ago, we asked you to tell us your favorite comics and which ones you’d rather see disappear. You responded in the hundreds. Some of you said hands off, why mess with a good thing? Many of you said make them bigger. Most of you gave impassioned pleas either to save or cut. Your favorite was Without Reservations. Your least favorite was Knight Life. We’re happy to say that beginning Monday, we will be incorporating many of your suggestions, as well as making a number of other changes to our news pages. We know not everyone will be happy. But we hope the modifications will provide a livelier and more informative reading experience. The changes: u We’ve added The New York Times to our wire service lineup, joining The Washington Post, Bloomberg News and The Associated Press. While we can’t fit everything into our daily print edition, expect to find comprehensive coverage of local, national and world news on our web, updated throughout the day. u Beginning Monday, we’ll also begin running The New York Times crossword every day, replacing the Los Angeles Times crossword. We will continue to run The New York Times’ Sunday crossword as we have for years. Fun as the Los Angeles Times’ crossword was, the NYT puzzle is in a class by itself. We hope you enjoy it. u We are improving our Family page and moving it to Saturdays so parents and their children have more time to enjoy it together. The modified section will include a full-page Kid Scoop on most Saturdays, with puzzles and suggestions for fun activities with kids. We’re also bringing back John Rosemond, whose popular “Living With Children” column is a must-read for parents longing for common-sense advice on raising children. u To accommodate the Family page move, our Life & Science page will shift from Saturday to Monday. u Starting this Tuesday, we will begin running the irreverent “¡Ask a Mexican!” column by Gustavo Arellano. The Tuesday E-xtra page, opposite the Opinions page, is set aside for views from outside our region and area. Arellano’s take on Mexican life in these United States is definitely a different point of view. He takes questions, answers and has a lot of fun as he writes. We know you will enjoy it. u Finally, along with the changes to our comics and Opinions pages, Doonesbury will be replaced on the Opinions page with La Cucaracha as a liberal antidote to Mallard Fillmore. This was a change many readers in our comics survey suggested, and we think it’s a good idea. We will continue to run new Doonesbury cartoons every Sunday. Gary Trudeau, however, is no longer creating a daily strip and is issuing re-runs instead, so we’ve decided to discontinue it. We’ll have more changes in coming months, and we’ll let you know as we get closer to them. Meanwhile, we want to know what you think. We will publish all Letters to the Editor we receive about these changes during the week of March 9-15.

For those who may have missed this editor’s note, which ran in the Sunday, Feb. 23, 2014, edition of The Santa Fe New Mexican:

House Democrat is the longest-serving member of Congress in history WASHINGTON — Rep. John D. Dingell, D-Mich., the longest-serving member of Congress in history, announced Monday that he will not seek re-election at the end of his current term. Dingell’s retirement, first announced by Detroit newspapers and confirmed by Democratic leadership aides, will come at the end of this year — the end of his 29th full term — and represents the end of a historic tenure in the House that began in 1955. Dingell, 87, asserted jurisdiction over vast expanses of federal policy as the intimidating chairman of the energy committee. Dingell had recently begun to bemoan the current culture of Congress — its inability to work together and compromise — and in an interview with The Detroit News, he was even more pointed: “I find serving in the House to be obnoxious,” he said. Dingell’s wife of more than three decades, Deborah, is a power in her own right in Washington. She has served as an auto industry executive and is a close adviser to her husband. There is speculation that she might run for her husband’s seat.

‘Normal people’ in Venezuela lead fight for change Government’s hard line has country on brink of boiling over By William Neuman

The New York Times

SAN CRISTÓBAL, Venezuela — As dawn broke, the residents of a quiet neighborhood here readied for battle. Some piled rocks to be used as projectiles. Others built barricades. A pair of teenagers made Molotov cocktails as the adults looked on. These were not your ordinary urban guerrillas. They included a manicurist, a medical supplies saleswoman, a schoolteacher, a businessman and a hardware store worker. As the National Guard roared around the corner on motorcycles and in an armored riot vehicle, the people in this tightly knit middle-class neighborhood, who on any other Monday morning would have been heading to work or taking their children to school, rushed into the street, hurling rocks and shouting obscenities. The guardsmen responded with tear gas and shotgun fire, leaving a man bleeding in a doorway. “We’re normal people, but we’re all affected by what’s happening,” said Carlos Alviarez, 39, who seemed vaguely bewildered to find himself in the middle of the street where the whiff of tear gas lingered. “Look. I’ve got a rock in my hand and I’m the distributor for Adidas eyewear in Venezuela.” The biggest protests since the death of longtime leader Hugo Chávez nearly a year ago are sweeping Venezuela, rapidly expanding from the student protests that began this month on a campus in this western city into a much broader array of people across the country. On Monday, residents in Caracas, the capital, and other Venezuelan cities piled furniture, tree limbs, chain-link fence, sewer grates and washing machines to block roads in a coordinated action against the government. Behind the outpouring is more than the litany of problems that have long bedeviled Venezuela, a country with the world’s largest oil reserves, but also one of the highest inflation rates. Adding to the perennial frustrations over violent crime and chronic shortages of basic goods like milk and toilet paper, the outrage is being fueled by President Nicolás Maduro’s aggressive response to public dissent, including deploying hundreds of soldiers here and sending fighter jets to make low, threatening passes over the city. Polarization is a touchstone of Venezuelan politics, which was bitterly divided during the 14-year presidency of Chávez, Maduro’s mentor. But while Chávez would excoriate and punish opponents, he had keen political instincts and often seemed to know when to back off just enough to keep things from boiling over. In this neighborhood, Barrio Sucre, residents said they were outraged last week when a guardsman fired a shotgun at a woman and her adult son, sending both to the hospital with serious injuries. In response, the residents built barricades to keep the guardsmen out. On Monday, after guardsmen made an early sortie into the neighborhood, firing tear gas and buckshot at people’s homes, the inflamed and sometimes terrified residents prepared to drive them back. Zambrano, 39, a mother of two, still fumed about the time two days earlier when the National Guard drove onto the street, where children were playing, and fired tear gas. Now she sat in front of her apartment building, casually guarding a beer crate full of Molotov cocktails. “We want this government to go away,” she said. “We want freedom, no more crime, we want medicine.”

The Obama administration said it was prepared to provide financial assistance beyond that from the IMF, but did not say how much. The International Monetary Fund has made clear it is unwilling to help Ukraine without a commitment from the country to undertake painful austerity measures and other restructurings. Yanukovych’s resistance to those demands was a principal reason he backed away from a trade deal with Europe and sought help from Russia instead. In a statement Monday, the acting finance minister, Yuriy Kolobov, said Ukraine would need a staggering $35 billion in assistance between now and the end of next year, as well as an emergency loan within the next two weeks that he said was expected from Poland or the U.S. In his statement, Kolobov said he hoped to organize a conference with international donors. “The situation in the

You may have observed that snowflakes often have six arms - but do you know why? The appearance or shape of a snowflake is a result of the patterns water molecules adopt as they freeze. The particular arrangement of atoms in a material sometimes influences a shape you see, and it often determines many other properties that are very important to your daily life. Since 1914 scientists have applied crystallography to examine the arrangements of atoms in solids in order to understand and control their physical and chemical properties. Los Alamos is the home of one of the world’s leading centers for these studies. We will discuss some of the ways that work there is leading to better lives for everyone. Admission is Free.

Abused: Police think suspect was high during incident Continued from Page A-1

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday recommended shrinking the Army to its smallest size since the buildup to U.S. involvement in World War II in an effort to balance postwar defense needs with budget realities. CAROLYN KASTER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hagel: Says cuts are based on foundation of realism Continued from Page A-1 and a requirement that retirees and some families of active-duty service members pay a little more in health insurance deductibles and copays. “Although these recommendations do not cut anyone’s pay, I realize they will be controversial,” Hagel said, adding that the nation cannot afford the escalating cost of military pay and benefit packages that were enacted during the war years. “If we continue on the current course without making these modest adjustments now, the choices will only grow more difficult and painful down the road,” he said. Although Congress has agreed on an overall number for the military budget in fiscal 2015 — just under $500 billion — there are still major decisions to be made on how that money should be spent to best protect the nation. Early reaction from Republicans in Congress was negative. “I am concerned that we are on a path to repeat the mistakes we’ve made during past attempts to cash in on expected peace dividends that never materialized,” said Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a possible presidential contender in 2016. “What we’re trying to do is solve our financial problems on the backs of our military, and that can’t be done,” said Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon of California, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Another proposal likely to draw fire on Capitol Hill is Hagel’s call for

“

We are entering an era where American dominance on the seas, in the skies and in space can no longer be taken for granted.” Chuck Hagel, U.S. secretary of defense a new round of domestic military base closings in 2017. In the years following the last round, in 2005, members of Congress fought to protect bases in their home districts and states, arguing that the process does not yield as much savings as advertised. Among other changes Hagel proposed: u The active-duty Army would shrink from today’s 522,000 soldiers to between 440,000 and 450,000 — the smallest number since 1940, when the nation was gearing up to enter World War II. The Army currently is scheduled to be reduced to 490,000. The Army’s post-World War II low was 480,000 in 2001, according to figures provided by the service. In 1940, the Army had just 267,000 active-duty members, but that number surged to 1.46 million the following year as America prepared for war in Europe and the Pacific. u The Army National Guard would drop from 355,000 soldiers to 335,000 by 2017, and the Army Reserve would drop by 10,000, to 195,000. The National Guard also would send its Apache attack helicopters to the active-duty Army in exchange for Black Hawk helicopters

more suitable for domestic disaster relief missions. u The Marine Corps would shrink from 190,000 to 182,000. u The Navy would keep its 11 aircraft carriers but “lay up,” or temporarily remove from active service, 11 of its 22 cruisers while they are modernized. The Navy would reduce from 52 to 32 its purchase of littoral combat ships, which are smaller vessels designed to operate closer to shore. u The Air Force would retire its fleet of A-10 “Warthog” tank-killer planes for an estimated savings of $3.5 billion over five years. It also would retire the venerable U-2 spy plane, which debuted early in the Cold War as a stalwart of U.S. intelligence. Hagel built his case on what he called a foundation of realism. He quoted one of his predecessors, the World War II-era secretary of war, Henry Stimson, as saying Americans must “act in the world as it is, and not in the world as we wish it were.” “This is a time for reality,” Hagel said. He emphasized that the period of explosive growth in defense budgets was over, making it more important to preserve a technologi-

cal edge as other nations modernize their militaries. He made no direct mention of China or Russia, but both are investing heavily in their military capabilities. “Budget reductions inevitably reduce the military’s margin of error in dealing with these risks,” Hagel said, adding that a smaller U.S. force “strains our ability to simultaneously respond” to multiple global crises. He and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the Joint Chiefs chairman who appeared with him, both argued strongly against a return to the across-theboard congressional budget cuts known as sequestration that were partially suspended for the 2014 and 2015 budgets. Hagel likened a return to such cuts to “gambling with our military.” Dempsey, too, said those deeper reductions would have exceedingly harmful effects on the entire military. “We’re all willing to take risks,” Dempsey said. “None of us are willing to gamble.” Under a congressional deal passed two months ago, the Pentagon’s 2015 budget would be set at $496 billion — the same as in 2014. But Hagel said Obama’s overall budget proposal also will include a government-wide “Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative” that would provide the Pentagon with an additional and separate $26 billion — assuming there will be no return to sequestration. He said the new money would be used for increased training and other partially neglected activities central to making the military ready for combat.

Harmless: Tax increases likely before next session Continued from Page A-1 phase them out over a 15-year period beginning in 2015. The New Mexico Municipal League, which is leading the lobbying charge to revisit the hold-harmless phase-out, had a lukewarm reception for some of the bills offered this year, and frigid responses to others. Fresh off a session devoid of remedies acceptable to cities, the Municipal League already has drafted legislation it hopes will be introduced next year with provisions that target a broad swath of stakeholders. The draft legislation calls for reinstating the tax on food at the rate applicable in a particular locality (generally between 2.5 percent and 3 percent), expanding the qualifying threshold for tax rebates to lowincome earners, reducing the business tax on goods from out of state, decreasing state gross receipts tax and repealing the 2013 hold-harmless provisions in their entirety — including the three-eighths of 1 percent taxing authority that cities and counties were granted and the 15-year phase-out of state support. Instead, the state would cease back-filling hold-harmless revenue in 2015 and distribute the windfall in accordance with the draft legislation. Immediate repeal of the gradual withholding of gross receipts tax from cities and counties would generate an estimated $150 million in revenue for the state in 2015,

according to New Mexico Municipal League Executive Director William Fulginiti. The initiatives in the draft legislation would consume an estimated $100 million of it, and about $50 million would remain in the state’s general fund. Fulginiti said the low-income tax rebate provision aims to assuage worries that New Mexico residents who are struggling financially would shoulder a disproportionate burden from the reinstatement of the food tax. Recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits would not be expected to pay tax on those purchases, but they often supplement their benefits with purchases out of their own pockets that are subject to taxes. “Their disposable income is not nearly as high, so we want to give them a break,” Fulginiti said. Kim Posich, executive director of the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty, said he is fairly receptive to the possibility of reinstating a tax on food, although he acknowledged that not everyone who shares the mission of looking out for the interests of low-income New Mexicans would agree with him. “The food tax deduction, I never supported that,” he said. “Many people — the advocates around me — did. But I thought the money could be used a lot more effectively.” Posich recognizes the standard

argument against food tax. “Anything that takes even small amounts of money out of the hands of low-income people is not a very smart idea,” he said. “They don’t put that money in the bank. They use it at stores immediately, so you’re taking it out of the local economy.” But invested in the right programs by the government, Posich said, the revenue from food taxes can have greater benefits for the population he wants to protect. “I would not oppose getting rid of the food tax deduction if those funds were put into the hands of low-income people in a more effective way,” he said. “If they were going to do it just to put more money into city and county governments’ hands without some direction about how it was going to be used, I couldn’t support that.” Communities that enact taxes under the authority of the 2013 holdharmless change — as Corrales, Las Cruces and Otero County already have — and have bonded against the tax hikes would be insulated from the portion of the draft legislation that would repeal taxing authority, Fulginiti said. Rep. Jason Harper, R-Rio Rancho, unsuccessfully carried legislation this year that would have reduced city and county taxing authority under hold harmless. He frets that its failure to pass will prod cities and counties to quickly enact taxes to gird against

future limits on their taxing authority that could be looming in next year’s legislative session. “Hopefully, our cities and counties won’t decide to raise taxes on everybody and bond out against it over the interim,” Harper said. “That would be terrible for all of our citizens to have their taxes raised like that.” Fulginiti said he expects more communities to raise taxes before the conversation at the Legislature resumes next year. Steve Kopelman, executive director of the New Mexico Association of Counties, disagrees.“I think the answer to that is probably not,” he said. “I don’t think many county commissions would do it just for that reason.” The New Mexico Association of Counties has not taken a formal position on reinstating a tax on food. Fulginiti said the draft legislation has had a warm reception from key legislators in the House and the Senate, but he worries that its greatest challenge could be the veto pen of Gov. Susana Martinez — provided she is re-elected and remains governor next year. “I think we’re going to have to convince the governor,” Fulginiti said. “I haven’t checked with her on it. We’ll let the election play out first.” Contact Patrick Malone at 986-3017 or pmalone@sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter @pmalonenm.

complaint, investigators said they suspected Fernandez likely was under the influence of the drug Spice, a synthetic form of marijuana, when he abused the girl. The infant’s case was among two in recent months that put the spotlight on child abuse and neglect in New Mexico, which ranks last in child wellbeing and rounds out the nation’s six worst states when it comes to child abuse deaths. Federal statistics show the state reported nearly 80 deaths between 2008 and 2012, but critics have said the numbers for New Mexico and the rest of the nation are severely underestimated. While measures aimed at making changes to the state Children, Youth and Families Department failed to pass this legislative session, lawmakers have acknowledged that any improvements in New Mexico’s overwhelmed child welfare system will also have to address the root causes of abuse, including poverty, substance abuse and a lack of parental resources. House Speaker Kenny Martinez of Grants pointed to the case of the infant and the recent death of a 9-yearold Albuquerque boy who, police said, was repeatedly kicked by his mother. Following the session, Martinez said the problem needs to be kept in the forefront. “I don’t want to see any more,” Martinez said of abuse cases. “Will we see more? Yes. Can we do more to intervene? Yes.”

Tribe: Arguments to be heard March 10 Continued from Page A-1 “The federal government recognizes Fort Sill as being located in the state of Oklahoma. … Fort Sill does not maintain communities, government facilities or a population base in New Mexico,” Martinez’s administration wrote in its brief. Fort Sill’s New Mexico property contains only “a small smoke shop,” the state government says. As long ago as 1999, then-Gov. Gary Johnson sent a letter to the U.S. Department of the Interior objecting to the idea of the Fort Sill Apaches using their land in New Mexico for a casino. A hiatus followed, but in 2008, the tribe announced that it would launch a gambling operation on its New Mexico reservation. The National Indian Gaming Commission, a federal regulatory agency, issued a legal opinion saying that the land did not qualify as a site for gambling. The New Mexico Indian Affairs Department agreed. Still, the tribe’s interest in opening a casino never cooled. It commissioned a survey in 2011 that said the public supported an Apache Homelands Casino that would “deliver much needed economic growth in Southwest New Mexico.” That same year, the tribe made a point of saying that New Mexico, not Oklahoma, housed its reservation. It even ran a notice in the Federal Register. Also in 2011, the New Mexico House of Representatives approved a memorial on a 62-1 vote acknowledging the Fort Sill Apache Territory. Memorials are expressions of sentiment but have no force of law. Fort Sill Apaches say the Martinez administration’s argument that it cannot be recognized because it has offices in Oklahoma is specious. The Navajo Nation’s seat of government is in Window Rock, Ariz., but New Mexico recognizes that tribe, Fort Sill lawyers say. “That the majority of the population of the tribe has not yet returned to its aboriginal territory is not surprising, given respondents hostility and the relatively recent recognition of the tribe’s reservation in the area of its ancestral homeland,” Fort Sill lawyers stated in the brief. As for their aspirations of running a casino in Luna County, Fort Sill Apaches say separate laws and regulations are in place to deal with that topic, if it arises again.

LOCAL NEWS Albuquerque rep won’t seek re-election House Democrat, 77, cites age as a factor in decision to retire By Milan Simonich

The New Mexican

State Rep. Ernest Chavez, who missed the entire 30-day legislative session because of illness, announced Monday that he will not seek re-election. “It’s time to move on,” Chavez, D-Albuquerque, said in a statement. Chavez, 77, said age was an important factor in his decision to retire from politics. “I tried to do as much as I could during my recent illness, but the healing process is much slower because of my age,” he

said. “I feel the best thing I can do for my constituents is to step aside.” House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants, said Ernest during the Chavez session that Chavez’s lower extremities were swollen, perhaps from a spider bite. The illness landed Chavez in an intermediate care center, though he was eventually able to go home. Chavez has been a member of the House for 10 years, representing a Democratic stronghold, District 12 in southwest Albuquerque. Chavez took 71 percent of the vote in the 2012 election. Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa

Fe, said Chavez seldom spoke during floor debates but distinguished himself in other ways. “Ernie was certainly a quiet member, but he got an amazing amount of work done in committees and with his colleagues,” Egolf said. “I know how much he loved being in the Legislature, and I’m sure this was a difficult decision for him.” Chavez became the sixth House member to announce that he is not seeking re-election. More retirements are probable in the next two weeks, as members face a deadline to file for re-election. The House of Representatives has 70 members. In addition to Chavez, Democrats who are retiring are Reps. Nate Cote of Organ and Rick Miera and Kiki Saavedra, both of Albuquerque.

Cote defeated a Republican incumbent in 2012. His district in Southern New Mexico favors Republicans in terms of voter registration. The seats being vacated by Miera and Saavedra have an edge for Democrats. Two Republicans also have announced that they are retiring from the House of Representatives. They are Reps. Tom Taylor of Farmington and Anna Crook of Clovis. Both of their districts have sizable Republican majorities. Contact Milan Simonich at 986-3080 or msimonich@ sfnewmexican.com.

$2.4M solar panel project at Chavez Center moves forward City’s Public Works Committee OKs request to award construction contract for carport structures By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

Solar and shade don’t usually go together, but the city of Santa Fe thinks it’s a bright idea. The city plans to spend nearly $2.4 million on a photovoltaic project that’s designed as four carport structures. The carports would cover most of the main parking lot at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center off Rodeo Road. “In the end, it is definitely a dual purpose,” Nicholas Schiavo, the city’s energy specialist and acting public utilities director, said Monday. “We’ll be able to get the shading in the summer, and then generate electricity.” The City Council’s Public Works Committee on Monday approved on consent a request to award the construction contract. If everything goes according to plan, the solar panels could be installed by the end of this year. City Council still has to approve the project. If the Chavez Center project gets the green light and another project at the Buckman Direct Diversion, which diverts water from the Rio Grande to supply taps in Santa Fe, is complete, nearly 25 percent of the city government’s electric use will be coming from renewable energy, Schiavo said. “Not bad, right?” he said. Most of the money for the Chavez Center project is available in city coffers. In 2012, voters approved a general obligation bond that included $1.8 million for solar panels to generate electricity at the Chavez Center. But the Public Utilities Department is requesting an additional $594,000 from the general fund or another funding source to pay for what Schiavo described as a better project. “When I looked at this project, I wanted a structure that was going to make sense and a panel that was going to make sense,” Schiavo said. “If I had a giant open field that I could have put these on, I could have done it easily for $1.8 million, but as soon as you start to add in other things — the quality carport, the better panels — it crept up closer to $2.4 million.” Schiavo said the additional investment will pay itself off in a matter of years. The city pays about $361,000 annually for electricity at the Chavez Center. The proposed photovoltaic project is expected to replace about 23 percent of the

As anti-government protests turn deadly, Venezuelans in N.M. worry for family By Uriel J. Garcia

The New Mexican

ew Mexicans with close ties to Venezuela are avidly following news of the anti-government protests there, and worry about loved ones caught in the middle. Freddy Perdomo, 34, who is from the northeastern city of Barquisimeto, where a government supporter was shot and killed on Feb. 20, said, “I feel sadness and indignation because of what the armed forces have been doing.” Perdomo moved from Venezuela to the U.S. 14 years ago and lives in Santa Fe with his wife. On Feb. 12, hundreds of college students took to the streets for a rally against President Nicolás Maduro, the hand-picked successor of Hugo Chávez, who died in March 2013 after 14 years in office. Soon thousands joined the protests against the country’s high-crime rate, inflation and shortage of food. As of Monday, the death toll was reportedly 13, including a 22-year-old beauty queen, Genesis Carmona, who was shot in the head during a demonstration on Feb 18. The government has blamed the protesters for her death, but bystanders say she was killed by pro-government armed militia, news reports said. According to the 2010 census, there are 394 Venezuelans living in New Mexico, including 72 in Santa Fe County. On Saturday, about 80 people held a rally in Albuquerque to support the anti-government protesters in Venezuela. The event not only attracted people originally from Venezuela, but those from other Latin American countries such as Mexico, Peru, Argentina,

Colombia and Ecuador. Similar demonstrations have been held in places such as Denver, Miami, New York and San Francisco. Perdomo said that he knows more about the demonstrations than his father, who lives in Venezuela, because of the government censorship of news outlets there. Also, he said, his sister, who works for the Venezuelan government, has told Perdomo that she has been forced to go to demonstrations to support for Maduro’s 10-month-old presidency. Erick D. Langer, a history professor who teaches Latin American studies at Georgetown University, said he isn’t surprised to hear such anecdotes since the Venezuelan government also forces its employees to vote for the ruling party’s candidates. Langer, whose wife is from Venezuela, explained that some of Chávez’s social programs that provide medicine and food to the people have been beneficial. But unrest has been building there because people feel a lack of personal security. “People are just fed up with the government, [which] isn’t working,” he said. “People can’t walk out in the streets without getting assaulted.” The Venezuelan Violence Observatory, an organization that tracks violent crimes in the country, estimates that there were 24,763 killings in 2013. The homicide rate is 79 per 100,000 inhabitants in Venezuela, according to a report by the group released in December. In the U.S., the homicide rate is 4.7 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to FBI statistics. Iñigo Garcia-Bryce, an associate professor of Latin American studies at the New Mexico State University, said Chávez had strong control over the country, which is why such demonstrations were rare. But, he said,

Chávez was a divisive figure: Venezuelans either loved him or hated him. “I live in a paradise here in Santa Fe,” said Isabel Mendoza, 56, who moved from Venezuela to the U.S. 32 years ago. “And my family, when they visit me, they also say it’s like paradise, because they feel safe and can walk around in the Plaza without confronting someone with a gun.” Mendoza, who also is from Barquisimeto, said she’s been in contact with her sister every night since the protests because she’s worried about her safety. In fact, a YouTube video, which was shot from an apartment complex where Mendoza’s sister lives, shows uniformed men shooting at parked cars, she said. Because of the violence, Mendoza’s sister has avoided going out into the streets and hasn’t been at work for the past two weeks, she said. Mendoza said that in 2009 her sister and a friend were kidnapped in daylight by two armed men who stole the sister’s car and forced her to withdraw money from an ATM machine. Mendoza said they were released after the men got the cash. “I never lived in a violent environment in Venezuela, and now I see you can find it in front of your house,” Mendoza said. Contact Uriel J.

The two board members who voted against firing the former president of the Santa Fe Community College president are charging that the other three members violated the state’s Open Meetings Act and have asked the attorney general to investigate. The board voted 3-2 on Dec. 2 to terminate Ana “Cha” Guzmán for “just cause,” accusing her of insubordination, willful acts of misconduct and displaying behavior that brought disrespect to the campus. The allegations about the Open Meetings Act violations are conAna ‘Cha’ tained in a Dec. 27 letter signed by Guzmán Chris Abeyta, chairman of the board, and Andrea Bermúdez, who resigned in protest over the firing. According to the letter, Guzmán rejected the offer of a $400,000 settlement, saying her reputation was worth more to her than the money. The letter called the offer “irresponsible.” A spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office said Monday it is not the policy of the agency to comment on whether or not it is conducting an investigation. A Guzmán’s supporter, Kimberly Gonzales, former assistant to the president, also said Monday that the college is attempting to fire her for her loyalty. “I believe this is complete retaliation,” said Gonzales, who backed the president at a board meeting last year. She said she is on paid administrative leave and others who have expressed support of Guzmán also fear the loss of their jobs. Efforts to reach the college for comment on Gonzales’ status were unsuccessful. The dissenting board members claim in their letter to the attorney general that Kathy Keith, Martha Romero and Linda Siegle acted “in concert” to reprimand the president and during a closed session on Nov. 18 voted to put her on administrative leave “without the benefit of an open vote.” The letter also questioned whether there was prior consultation among them to hire Randy Grissom, then vice president of academic affairs, as acting president.

Gonzales says ethics complaint ‘unfounded’ Mayoral candidate Javier Gonzales and others who were named in an ethics complaint say the complaint “relies on unfounded assumptions” and “inaccurate claims” and should be dismissed. Responses to the complaint were filed with the city of Santa Fe on Monday, a day before the city’s Ethics and Campaign Review Board is scheduled to determine whether the complaint is legally sufficient. The ethics board gave Gonzales and Jon Hendry, a union leader who also was named in the complaint, until Monday to file responses. The board also invited two political action committees and a labor union to respond, since the complaint accused them of coordinating with Gonzales. “This unsubstantiated complaint, filed so close to the date of the Mayoral election, and so long after much of the conduct at issue in the Complaint occurred, suggests merely an improper attempt at harming Candidate Gonzales’ campaign in favor of another candidate preferred by the Complainant,” Gonzales’ response states. The complaint was filed by Fred Rowe, a former chairman of the ethics board and a supporter of City Councilor Patti Bushee, who is running for mayor against Gonzales and Bill Dimas, also a city councilor.

CARLSBAD — The results of new monitoring data show slightly elevated levels of airborne radiation at and around the U.S. government’s nuclear repository in southeastern New Mexico. The U.S. Department of Energy said Monday the results are from samples collected last week at numerous air monitoring stations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and in the surrounding area. The results are consistent with the kinds of low-grade nuclear waste stored at the underground site, but both federal and state officials say there’s no indication of any public health threat. The monitoring is ongoing, and a Department of Energy team has been appointed to determine what caused the leak. The Department of Energy announced Feb. 15 it was stopping operations in response to an underground radiation sensor. A few days later, the agency confirmed radiation had also been released above ground. The Associated Press

fect our hearing as we age. For some, it may sound like a television show or movie is not at the right volume. For others, it could make a conversation sound like it’s happening underwater. Gracefully aging individuals might feel it’s a part of the process in getting older. But Dr. Kelly Heyman and Eldorado Audiology & Hearing Center feel the gradual hearing loss that comes with aging is not something you should accept. “High frequency hearing is often the first thing to go,” says Dr. Heyman. “The loss is so gradual, most people don’t notice until someone points it out.” Family members or friends may be the first to notice that conversations require them to speak more loudly or repeat themselves

The two said the other members had “disregarded our voice.” The board members who voted to fire Guzmán did not respond to a request seeking comment. Abeyta did not return a call seeking a response to the letter, and Bermúdez refused comment for this article. Kate Ferlic, one of two attorneys representing Guzmán, declined comment pending a mediation meeting to be held early next week. Through her lawyers, Guzmán is seeking arbitration for back pay and to win her job back. Janet Wise, head of marketing and media relations for the college, said in an email last week that the governing board takes its responsibility to comply with the Open Meetings Act seriously “and wants to assure the public that they can have confidence in the college to carry out its business according to this Act.” The board recently hired Grissom as interim president.

in the demands between the battalion chiefs and the city because, “They’re not part of our collective bargaining agreement.” Roybal-Mack also stated that her clients have asked the city to hire another battalion chief to reduce their workload, which they said is becoming a “public safety issue.” She said she has addressed her letter to the city of Santa Fe, but ultimately, she believes the fire department was responsible for failing to pay the battalion chiefs. The fire department’s chief, Erik Litzenberg, said Monday he could not comment on the allegations. Brian Synder, the city manager, did not immediately return a call Monday afternoon.

more often that usual. “Many adults accept diminished hearing as a part of aging and don’t necessarily feel they can do anything about it,” said Dr. Heyman. “But an audiological assessment and evaluation can give a better understanding of what a patient might be missing without treatment.” Many of Dr. Heyman’s patients come back for a follow-up appointment after having hearing aids fitted and tell her they should have come in for assessment and treatment years earlier. “It makes a huge difference in their quality of life,” she says. After a comprehensive battery of tests, Dr. Heyman makes recommendations and offers many competitively priced hearing aids. She also makes an effort to point out the larger health benefits of hearing therapies. “Several studies show that

individuals with some hearing loss are more likely to suffer from depression, avoiding many social situations they would normally enjoy due to the loss,” said Dr. Heyman. “For that reason alone, I think it’s important to seek treatment for even a slight hearing loss.” Dr. Heyman pointed out that while some patients know their hearing is not as good as it once was, the

that time of year, National Weather Service officials in Albuquerque said Monday. And it’s likely to stay dry until at least next weekend, forecasters said. The area within the defined “climate division” that includes the upper Rio Grande Basin in New Mexico, north of Albuquerque, was recorded as receiving only 0.3 inch of precipitation between Christmas Eve and Friday, the agency said, which was less than 15 percent of normal. The record for that period was set in 1867-68, when only 0.2 inch of precipitation was measured. The wettest on record was 4.98 inches in 2004-05. Forecasters predicted a surge of much cooler air will arrive this week in several different pulses beginning across the northeast on Tuesday and much of the central and east by Tuesday night. Some of the cooler air is expected to reach areas between the Rio Grande Valley and the Continental Divide by Wednesday morning. “There will be a chance for more significant rain and snow shower activity across a larger portion of the north and central New Mexico later Saturday into Sunday,” said a statement issued by the

weather agency.

Legislature passes more bills than in 2012 The New Mexico Legislature approved more bills this year than it did during the last 30-day session. However, nearly all of the legislation was passed late in the session shortly before lawmakers adjourned. Records of the Legislative Council Service show that the House and Senate passed 91 bills — all but two of those during the final three days of the session. Also approved were three resolutions proposing constitutional amendments. In the 30-day session in 2012, the Legislature approved 77 bills and four constitutional amendments. This year’s proposed constitutional amendments will be placed on the November general election ballot for voters to decide. One of the proposals is to give the state more flexibility in making international investments with permanent fund assets. The Legislature’s 30-day session ended Thursday.

Leaders in Duke City aim to stop ‘COPS’ The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — More Albuquerque leaders want to stop the reality show COPS from being filmed around the city, and say the series is worse for Albuquerque’s image than Breaking Bad. At least the fictional show filmed in Albuquerque brought jobs and tourists to the city, officials said. City Council President Ken Sanchez and fellow Councilor Don Harris announced on Sunday they will introduce a resolution asking Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston to reconsider his recent decision to allow the Spike TV show to film deputies in April. “The COPS television series sensationalizes criminal activity and focuses only on the seedy and negative aspects of the community it is filming in,” the resolution reads. The councilors join Mayor Richard Berry and others leaders who have recently voiced their opposition to bringing COPS to the Albuquerque area on grounds that it would paint a negative picture of the city and might hurt economic development. “All families have issues, all communities have issues and everybody knows you don’t advertise those things,” Harris told reporters. “We think there’s no reason to be putting our worst foot forward.” Harris said the cheaplyproduced reality series is much worse than AMC’s Breaking Bad, because the fictional drama brought jobs to Albuquerque. Breaking Bad, which ended last year and was filmed in Albuquerque, followed former high school teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston. White produced methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul. Despite its dark themes, the show garnered wide-support from Albuquerque elected officials. The city’s visitors’ bureau even helped promote the show with viewing parties and a website map of the show’s popular locations. In a statement, Houston said there aren’t “statistics or factual information” suggesting COPS hurts a city’s image. He said opposition to the show “reflects a non-transparent position and indicates a mindset of wanting to hide what goes on in our communities.” Houston called the move censorship and said it was similar to trying to ban residents from filming law enforcement with iPhones.

Ariz. governor pressed to veto faith-based bill Measure allows businesses to refuse service to gays By Fernanda Santos The New York Times

PHOENIX — As the Arizona Legislature sent a bill to her desk Monday that would grant business owners the right to invoke religion to refuse service to gays and others, Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, faced pressure from many corners to veto the measure, which has cast unwanted national attention on Arizona. Elected officials, civic leaders and business groups spoke out against the measure, which passed both houses of the Legislature on Thursday. On Twitter, Arizona’s U.S. senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake, also Republicans, had nearly identical posts, with both of them saying they hoped Brewer would veto the bill. An executive from Apple, which plans to build a big manufacturing plant in Mesa, called Brewer to urge her to reject it, and W. Douglas Parker, chairman and chief executive of American Airlines, sent her a letter citing the state’s “economic comeback” and saying, “There is genuine concern throughout the business community that this bill, if signed into law, would jeopardize all that has been accomplished so far.” Their calls were echoed by three Republican state senators — Adam Driggs, Steve Pierce and Bob Worsley, all members of the party’s conservative camp — who had helped pass the legislation in the first place. “While our sincere intent in voting for this bill was to create a shield for all citizens’ religious liberties, the bill has instead been mischaracterized by its opponents as a sword of religious intolerance,” the senators said in a letter to Brewer, adding that the matter was “causing our state immeasurable harm.” The bill’s remaining supporters took to the airwaves and the Internet to defend it. Cathi Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy, an architect of the bill, issued a news release calling attacks on the legislation “politics at its absolute worse,” and saying, “Instead of having an honest discussion about the true meaning of religious

liberty, opponents of the bill have hijacked this discussion through lies, personal attacks and irresponsible reporting.” Brewer was in Washington on Monday but was scheduled to return Tuesday to Phoenix, where she will have until the end of the week to act on the bill. Her spokesman, Andrew Wilder, suggested she would not take that long, but would not say what she was inclined to do. The religion bill comes as Arizona prepares to host the Super Bowl next year and struggles to regain its economic vitality. From Washington on Monday, Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware, a Democrat, told Ronan Farrow of MSNBC that if Brewer signs the measure, “the NFL may be looking, or maybe should be looking, to move the Super Bowl out of the state.” And Barry Broome, president and chief executive of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, said leaders of four companies looking to relocate to Arizona had put his organization on notice, saying they might reconsider if the bill became law. The state’s image is still scarred by a divisive immigration law passed in 2010, which gave police officers the ability to stop people whom they suspected of being in the country illegally, and triggered widespread boycotts. Among the Republicans vying to succeed Brewer, who cannot run for re-election because of term limits, there was broad consensus against the measure, which would expand the state’s definition of “exercise of religion” to protect businesses and citizens from lawsuits after denying services on religious grounds. One candidate, Scott Smith, the mayor of Mesa, who is a Mormon, said the bill “gives carte blanche for anybody to discriminate under the guise of religion.” Another candidate, Doug Ducey, the state treasurer, qualified his view, saying that he would veto the bill but then “bring together all the interested parties before this legislative session adjourns to forge consensus on acceptable language protecting religious liberty.” Wilder, the governor’s spokesman, said Brewer’s office had received more than 10,000 calls and emails on the matter as of Monday morning.

Police notes The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating the following reports: u James Hunter, 19, of Los Cerrillos was arrested on two counts of distribution of a controlled substance and a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia at Avenida Contenta and Monte Azul at 6:55 p.m. Sunday. u Stephanie Chavez, 25, of Santa Fe was arrested on charges of criminal trespassing and concealing her identity at the Wal-Mart Supercenter, 5701 Herrera Drive, at 11 p.m. Sunday. Chavez also was the subject of an open warrant for her arrest. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the following reports: u Someone broke into a car parked in the 3500 block of Agua Fría Street between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday and stole a black wallet containing cash. u A man reported that a motorist on Old Las Vegas Highway tried to run him off the road about 5:20 p.m. Sunday. u Gregory Romero, 42, of Ranchos de Taos was arrested sometime Sunday on a charge of driving with a revoked

license following a traffic stop for lacking a license plate light and a registration tag. u Staff at the Santa Fe County jail reported that a 15-year-old male threatened to stab someone with a syringe at the jail on Sunday.

MARTIN FLORES FEBRUARY 1952 ~ FEBRUARY 2014 Our Beloved Martin, began his soul journey on Feb 19, 2014, surrounded by loved ones at his home in Santa Fe. His life amongst us was way too short, to our human hearts. But we strongly believe this great man has many other beautiful journeys to continue on without us. Martin was a successful business man, a champion team roper, a golfer. A beloved husband to his wife Mary Ellen of 42 years . An excellent father to his two children Andrea and Martin,Jr. An important and loving man to his daughter-in-law Kathleen and son-in-law Jonathan. A deeply loved "Gyampa" to his grandchildren Ellena, Samuel and Mia. A loved brother, friend and " Uncle Marty" to many in and outside of his immediate family. Martin was never short of giving to those in need and will be remembered greatly to all he helped. He lived his life by his rules. Martin was not without his own trials and struggles but a man that overcame them. He was a man that commanded respect, often spoke deep wisdoms, and carried a quick wit. Martin was often seen with a big smile and always ready with a giving hand. He spoke to his family often about what a great life he had, so he has left us knowing he lived his life fully and loved it. We feel confident that he successfully did his hearts desires previous to his diagnosis with cancer. While Martin lived with cancer he continued cracking jokes, filling us with laughter, supported us, taught us deep withstanding truths and deeply loved us until his grand exit on his white wind. He will be missed beyond what words can describe and will be remembered with full heart as we continue our human lives. We will bow our hats and hearts to you with each PINK sunset. See ya. Kisses.

New downtown tap room Draft Station features variety of craft brews By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

In brief

Santa Fe Pen Fair this weekend at Sanbusco Santa Fe Pens is hosting the 19th annual Santa Fe Pen Fair on Saturday and Sunday at its Sanbusco Market Center location. The event brings together more than 20 pen manufacturers and pen aficionados with the latest in fine writing instruments and accessories. This is New Mexico’s largest pen event and this year features a series of semi-private handwriting seminars for both children and adults. “Due to its popularity over the last two years, we are continuing to host a free cursive handwriting seminar that is open to both children and adults,” said Neal Frank, owner of Santa Fe Pens. “Our seminars filled

ustin Svetnicka hopes the new Draft Station tap room can do more than deliver craft beer to patrons around the Plaza. He wants it to help invigorate the downtown nightlife scene. Santa Fe’s newest tap room opened last week at 60 E. San Francisco St., in the space formerly occupied by Marble Brewery. The patio overlooking the Plaza has been expanded to 900 square feet and the inside space reconfigured with an open area for mixing and meeting. On summer nights, Svetnicka hopes to serve until midnight. “Our hope is that when it’s hot in the middle of summer, people will want to be out there on the patio,” Svetnicka said. Svetnicka grew up in Santa Fe, then earned a bachelor’s degree in education from The University of New Mexico. He worked his way through school working at the 20-seat Chama River tap room in Albuquerque. When he left teaching in 2009, Svetnicka moved back to Santa Fe and joined Santa Fe Dining, working as a bartender at Sleeping Dog tavern, then at Marble Brewery. When the the idea for a new tap room came up for the Marble space, Svetnicka was a natural choice to manage it, as he was one of the few with the company who had tap room experience, “before they became chic,” as he describes it. The tap room is part of the craft-brewing growth in New Mexico. Brewers who receive a license with the state also get the option of three tasting rooms — either at the manufacturing site or elsewhere. The Draft Station is operating under the license of Blue Corn Cafe, which has its production facility on Rodeo Road. Craft beer is often described as locally brewed, with a production limit of 15,000 barrels and much of that consumption being regional. Under its alcohol license, Draft Station can

THE NEW MEXICAN

or the second legislative session in a row, the shameful charade of raising New Mexico’s $7.50-an-hour minimum wage ended with workers getting the shaft — from both Democrats and Republicans. In the 2013 session, Gov. Susan Martinez said she would support a measure to raise the wage to $7.80 an hour, but Democrats refused to take the deal, instead passing a bill mandating an $8.50 minimum, which the governor promptly vetoed. The result: 90,000 minimum wage workers each lost out on $600 over the past year — and the state economy lost an additional $54 million in direct spending from these workers, more if indirect economic impact is tabulated. Flash forward to the just-ended 2014 session with Democrats pushing a constitutional amendment that would have gone before voters in November for an $8.40 wage with automatic increases based on inflation. But with Democratic Bruce absences in the House, the meaKrasnow sure never — not from Day One of the session — had enough support Business Matters to pass with the needed majority of the chamber (36 votes in the House). The day before sine die, and after hours of debate, the measure failed to advance to the ballot. Democrats maintained the amendment was the only sure way to move forward as the governor was ready to veto a bill, which would probably have passed with a simple majority. Gov. Susana Martinez said at her post-session news conference that she was prepared to sign a bill raising the wage to $8 an hour this year. Eight dollars an hour — that’s $1,000 more a year for every worker now at the minimum and perhaps a $100 million boost in payroll spending over the next 12 months throughout New Mexico, much of that going to rural communities outside the Rio Grande corridor, where wages already are higher. With all due respect, Madam Governor, if you were backing an $8 wage, you failed to communicate that even to members of your own party. And with all due respect, House Speaker Kenny Martinez, when your proposed constitutional amendment failed, the Democrats took their marbles and went home, instead of trying to put together a bipartisan Plan B that could become law. Last year, Gov. Martinez talked about bringing back lawmakers for a special session if they didn’t pass a tax-reform package that included a corporate incometax cut. This year there were rumblings of a special session to address hospital solvency and education spending before those issues were resolved. Wanna bet no one is talking about bringing lawmakers back to Santa Fe to raise the wages of New Mexico’s lowest paid workers? uuu

Group: N.M. restaurant sales to grow 3.6% The National Restaurant Association has put together some projections of industry growth rates and says sales growth in New Mexico will be about 3.6 percent. The industry numbers show that Arizona will lead the nation in sales growth at 4.9 percent in 2014 followed by North Dakota (4.8 percent) and Texas (4.7 percent). Arizona also is projected to post the fastest growth in restaurant jobs in the next decade. “Growth in both restaurant sales and employment is closely tied to what’s going on with economic and demo-

Any hope that the annual gross receipts tax revenue in the city of Santa Fe could surpass the pre-recession year of 2007-08 probably has faded. The GRT revenue paid to the city for the month of December is usually the largest — and the total was $9.49 million in fiscal year 2007-08. The payment from the state for the December month comes in February and was transferred to local governments last week. The amount paid to Santa Fe for December 2013 economic activity was $8.73 million — far below that benchmark year but still $324,000 higher than 2012. So the city budget is still in pretty good shape when compared with year-over-year revenue, and the GRT increases are fairly broad based, a good omen going into the summer season. uuu

Professor Nathalie Martin, the Frederick M. Hart chairwoman in consumer and clinical law at UNM, has taken note of the recent New Mexico Supreme Court ruling that supported a Chimayó couple battling against foreclosure from a New York bank. “The opinion spelled out the tough standards banks must meet to have standing to initiate foreclosures, reviewed a whole bunch of alleged ‘evidence’ produced by Bank of NY to establish standing, including plenty of affidavits and testimony from people with no personal knowledge of what was going on,” she writes on the website Credit Slips. “The opinion on these facts should help homeowners with funky documentation in other states as the principles discussed are universal. As such, the case established strong principles for homeowner

graphic trends, which can vary greatly by state and region,” said Hudson Riehle, association senior vice president of research, in a press release. “States that are expected to have the strongest growth in overall employment, population and real personal disposable income in the year ahead are also forecast to be the most positive when it comes to sales and jobs for restaurants.” The National Restaurant Association says there are 3,262 drinking and eating locations in New Mexico that register $3.2 billion in annual sales. The industry employs 85,500 people, with employment expected to grow by 9,400 this year, an 11 percent increase.

Smith’s to offer low-cost reusable bags Smith’s Food and Drug said it will be offering shoppers low-cost, reusable shopping bags when the city of Santa

Fe’s plastic bag ban goes into effect. Company spokeswoman Marsha Gilford said the stores will offer 69-cent reusable bags for a limited time after the change to help customers transition to reusable bags. Store checkers also will be wearing buttons to remind shoppers of the change, and there will be paper bags available as well. Smith’s will not be charging extra for the paper bags if that part of the city ordinance is rescinded, but the store wants customers to be aware that “a paper bag costs us six times more than a plastic bag,” so any overall costs would have to be passed along eventually with higher grocery prices. She also said loyalty customers who use their Smith’s card will receive five reward points for bringing reusable bags — and that results in more money taken off their checkout bill. The New Mexican

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Game Commission leader resigns after cougar killing, Feb. 17 Why was it necessary to kill the cougar? Turning “ dogs loose on the animal, treeing it and then shoot-

ing it or letting the dogs kill it by tearing it apart is not sportsmanship hunting. Do not refer to these folks as hunters because they aren’t.” J.F.

Here’s hoping resigning his position and the public “ embarrassment that involves is only the beginning. If he is found to have violated the law, then he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law as an example. He more than anyone else in this state should have known better. A beautiful animal is dead for no reason other than blood lust. There must be more balance on the Game Commission. It should reﬂect the views of the citizens of this state, not one extremely prejudicial point of view.” G.C.

Committee members: Fee crucial to city’s bag ban, Feb. 18 Just seems like this is way too much effort and “ time on an issue that is not that important to most

people. If the city wants to outlaw plastic, just do that. If merchants want to supply paper bags for free, ﬁne or charge for them, that is OK, too. Do a better job of convincing folks that reusables are the way to go. Legislating your way to what you think is appropriate behavior by taxes or penalties is condescending to your fellow citizens. Let people, not political segments, make these decisions. That will lead to lasting change.” S.B.

No one has yet addressed the issue of how this “ will affect paper recycling, which requires a brown paper bag, if brown paper bags are no longer free.” K.K.

School board OKs tax hike for tech upgrades, Feb. 18 Starbucks? Even [Linda] Trujillo’s coffee money “ goes to an out-of-state corporation. Her cavalier

‘fewer trips to Starbucks’ comment shows just how how of touch she is with working people. Remember that at election time, folks.” C.M.

Sounds like nothing more than a big payday for “ someone. In the end, it’s just another ﬂeecing of the

taxpayer that will have little or no impact on our city’s dismal educational performance. There is no reason why every child should be provided with a free computer at taxpayers’ expense. Yes, computers are wonderful tools and every student should be taught how to use them. But, they are not a substitute for the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic. Children in Europe, Singapore, Japan, China and India are not provided with free computers. Yet, their kids bury ours in education. The priority needs to be placed on teaching our kids the fundamentals instead of providing them with shiny new toys [at] school. Bottom line, it doesn’t matter how great these computers are if our kids aren’t educated enough to fully utilize them and only use them to play games.” A.L.

SFPS aims to ﬁll teacher vacancies through fellows program, Feb. 19 ‘I’m used to living poor,’ Watts said.

“

If you are a teacher in Santa Fe, you can’t afford to send your own children to college. There is something fundamentally wrong with that fact. Why aren’t current teachers offered summer stipends for professional development?” K.T. Wow! 15 interested individuals to fill a 100-teacher deficit? How long will these poor saps stay employed when they hit the class and see the lack of discipline, lack of resources and lack of administrative support in the Santa Fe Public Schools? Teachers don’t stay in Santa Fe because it is too expensive to live on the meager salary that is doled out. They really start questioning their stay when they get assaulted in the classroom and the administration allows the kid to return the next day. All this and the regular stupidity of working for public education deters the return of qualified teachers. How do you think it will effect these newbies?” O.M.

Don’t be fooled by fake polls on monument

e received a phony “push poll” against the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument on Feb. 11. Goal Advocacy, a so-called special interest organization formed to promote conservative policies such as espoused by Congressman Steve Pearce, has paid big bucks for the push poll. In fact, tea party U.S. Rep. Pearce gave the group $10,000. Jason Heffley, executive director of GOAL Advocacy, is a former member of Pearce’s congressional staff. A push poll is intended only to disseminate scurrilous rumors rather than measure opinions. It would appear to be an unbiased telephone survey, but it was used to only disseminate negative information about the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. The opinion poll telephone number was 202800-5547. President Barack Obama should establish a national monument for the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks area before it is carved up by these special interests. Greg Lennes

Ignoring the youth On Feb. 10, 2014, Ella Kirk, a sophomore who attends Aldo Leopold High School in Silver City and a group of youth from a church in Las Cruces went up

to the New Mexico Capitol to present petitions and information about the Gila River and why it is so important in our area. I don’t know why the governor did not bother to meet the students and hear what they had to say, but she was unavailable. They went to the time and expense to go and present all the information they had and the signatures on the petitions

that Kirk and others worked to have signed. Being ignored was an insult not only to these young people but to the families and teachers who have encouraged these young adults to pursue education, community involvement and positive action by using the democratic process. The governor continues to blame educational administrators, teachers and families of

today’s youth as to why our educational system is as poor as it is. Perhaps if Gov. Susana Martinez would set the example by listening to our students, even if she disagrees with them, the youth of today would continue to care and grow and want to learn instead of being apathetic and feeling powerless.

Green energy handouts hurt New Mexico

hat’s the real cost of wind power? For New Mexicans, it’s nearly $10 million in handouts to big business. They paid that much money in 2012 so that multinational corporations could experiment with wind power on the taxpayer dime — a textbook case of corporate welfare. The culprit is a federal program called the “Wind Production Tax Credit.” After 20 years of taking New Mexicans’ money once in their taxes and twice in their utility bills, the Wind PTC expired at the end of 2013. Now Congress is debating whether to renew this corporate cash cow. But the evidence is mounting that these types of “green” and “clean energy” handouts are surprisingly dirty. According to a new report by CBS News, the federal government has lavished the green energy and technology industry with at least $150 billion in taxpayer money in recent years. This deluge of federal funding has only resulted in a string of technological flops and business bankruptcies. There’s no shortage of examples. Solyndra — which went bankrupt after receiving half a billion taxpayer dollars — is already well-known. Abound Solar received $400 million in 2010, then filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Fisker Automotive took $528 million from the feds in 2009 and another $392 million in 2012, then laid off 75 percent of its workforce last April. And LG Chem took $151 million in stimulus money to build an electric car battery plant where employees were paid to do nothing.

Even where it hasn’t fizzled, green energy’s economic impact hasn’t been that bright. In all of these cases, poor and middle-class taxpayers came out the real losers. They paid for it once with their taxes and they will pay again with higher energy bills. The winners, though, are the millionaires and billionaires who used the taxpayers’ money to experiment with new technologies and business models. Our loss has been their experiential and monetary gain — even if the companies they founded go under. Even where it hasn’t fizzled, green energy’s economic impact hasn’t been that bright. According to a comprehensive study recently released by a team of Spanish academics, each new “green job” costs the rest of the economy 2.2 other jobs because of the necessary subsidies. More damning is their finding that each “green” megawatt of energy destroys an average of more than five jobs, with each solar-powered megawatt eliminating nearly nine jobs and each wind-powered megawatt costing more than four jobs. These perverse trade-offs can be laid at the feet of government energy subsidies. Whether it’s $150 bucks or $150 billion, the

government’s financial intervention distorts the economy by shifting investment from proven job creators to expensive experiments that — as Solyndra and others demonstrate — don’t always pan out. The Spanish study bears directly on America’s experience because many of our country’s green job initiatives are based on the Spanish model. In fact, President Barack Obama has specifically praised Spain’s green jobs experiments on numerous occasions, labeling theirs a system worth emulating. All of this information directly bears on the question of Wind PTC and New Mexico. This handout gives wind electricity producers a lucrative taxpayer funded subsidy of 50 percent to 75 percent of wind’s wholesale electricity costs. Even then, electricity from new wind facilities still costs at least 30 percent more than conventionally generated electricity according to the Department of Energy. The Wind PTC is thus a microcosm of the problems inherent in the green energy industry. Like other taxpayer-funded “green” initiatives, renewing it would only worsen the negative effects that such subsidies have already had on job creation and economic growth, while enabling green job billionaires to continue their experiments with New Mexicans’ money. There’s nothing clean about perpetuating such a system. Thomas Pyle is the president of the American Energy Alliance.

Broadcast educates voters on candidates

any thanks to Karleen BoggioMontgomery of Living Santa Fe, and Santa Fe Community TV Cable Channel 16 for airing informative, individual TV interviews with each of the three candidates for mayor of Santa Fe. I got to know the candidates quite a bit better from those TV interviews, and realized if I had not heard all of the candidates, it would be difficult to make an informed decision before casting my vote. I am sure that Santa Fe Community TV Channel 16 will air them again before the election. If like me, you don’t know the candidates very well, I recommend viewing them all before going to vote.

Volunteers step in The longtime art teacher at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe on Alto Street recently retired. Since salary concerns make it difficult to hire a new staff person to continue the program, volunteers are stepping up. The children at the club love doing arts and crafts in the fully equipped room, and the other club volunteers did not want the program to shut down. More volunteers who enjoy working with young children and have some aptitude in the arts are sorely needed. The first-grade reading program can always use more substitutes, too. The programs are from 4 to 5 p.m. on your choice of days. To apply, call Lou at 988-7278. Lou Finley

A family man My father is Bill Dimas. I am one of his four children — the baby, I must add. I wanted to give the people of Santa Fe who do not know my dad personally an inside look of who he is. He is a family man who has worked very hard to support his family and raise his children to be the caring and giving adults we are today. When I say giving, I mean we have all chosen careers serv-

ing our community in health care and education. I have looked up to my father since the day I knew what hard work looked like. I truly believe with all my heart, that he would be the best mayor for our wonderful city. He has been such a great role model, not only for his children but for all the many children he coached and mentored throughout the years. I have been blessed to have such a wonderful dad and role model. I hope the city of Santa Fe will be just as lucky to have a man who truly cares as their mayor. Jessica Dimas

More PAC ads And yet again, another big, glossy ad for Javier Gonzales in the mail. And, like the previous ads, this one also was paid for by a political action committee supporting Gonzales. Regardless of what Gonzales has said about telling the PACs to “stand down” it is not happening. The actions of the “Gonzales for Mayor” team have been nothing but a slap in the face to the concept of public campaign financing. What does this tell us about the character of Gonzales? His integrity? His honesty? Is this who we want for our mayor? Gonzales started off saying he would accept public funding and play by the rules. His opponents did the same. The difference is Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas kept their word — no PACs working for them. Are we going to allow big money PACs to run our local elections? We are known as the City Different. Let’s live up to that reputation. When you vote, don’t be subject to the outside, monied interests. Ellen Mellon

Santa Fe

City experience Each of the mayoral candidates has an interesting background. But this is a city election. The candidate with the most extensive experience with and knowledge of our city is City Councilor Patti Bushee. Further, she seems to be free from influence by any outside

boards or alliances. This combination of experience and independence is compelling. Councilor Bushee has my vote. Karen Walker

Santa Fe

Maintaining integrity The coming mayoral election is important. We have three choices. If you want cronyism, conflicts of interest, corruption and election irregularities, then your choice is Javier Gonzales. His performance as state Democrat Party chairman, as a county commissioner and his flouting of the election rules with the political action committees and their financial and other support shows what we can expect from him. If you want to waste your vote, then your choice is Bill Dimas. But, if you want hardworking competence, diligence, experience, honesty and integrity, then the very clear choice is Patti Bushee. She has worked hard on the City Council for the benefit of the citizens of Santa Fe. She has always supported maintaining the integrity of our neighborhoods. Patti Bushee is the only sensible choice. Dale Schrage

Santa Fe

A voice for all Patti Bushee has criticized my endorsement of Javier Gonzales, citing an op-ed he wrote supporting our legislative delegation on a last-minute tax compromise. I respect Bushee. She’s smart. So she either knows better, or her misleading approach to complex issues is intentional. Let me explain. Bushee fails to mention the compromise tax bill of 2013 was supported by Sen. Peter Wirth and Rep. Brian Egolf, and the Democratic leadership in both houses of the Legislature. Everyone agrees the “holdharmless” part, reducing city funding, should be reversed. There’s time to do that. Santa Fe doesn’t lose a dime until July 2015.

Section editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

Bushee won’t acknowledge the benefits of the compromise — no mention of Egolf’s Breaking Bad bill. Since July 2013, we have $3 million in new city tax revenue and hundreds of new jobs. In part, that’s because of these new film tax incentives. There’s a reason that current and past officeholders all have endorsed Javier Gonzales: A mayor is supposed to raise all our voices, not just their own. Mayor David Coss

Santa Fe

The right tone It is crucial to have someone at the top who can set the right tone. To me it is particularly telling that 10 former and current city councilors are supporting Javier Gonzales for mayor. Maybe even more significant is that not one of the councilors who served in the last 15 years is supporting either Bill Dimas or Patti Bushee. The city workforce needs a mayor who is respectful, listens and is collaborative. That person is Javier Gonzales. Carla Lopez

Santa Fe

Collaborating skills I am a member of the Santa Fe School Board, and I support Javier Gonzales for mayor. Javier has made education and youth employment priorities in his plans for Santa Fe. He is committed to working with the school district to develop quality early childhood education, after school and summer programs, student internships and a Youth Service Corps. Because of his service as a regent at New Mexico Highlands and New Mexico State University, he understands education and the importance of better preparing our students for college and careers. He also is a good listener, creative thinker and knows how to collaborate — skills that are needed to bring the community together to improve youth opportunities and success in Santa Fe.

o far, the experiment to legalize marijuana in Colorado has to be making New Mexico lawmakers, always on the lookout for new money, more than a little jealous. Just more than a month into the experiment, Colorado expects to earn $184 million in taxes from the legal marijuana market over the first 18 months of sales. The state is projecting sales of about $610 million, higher than originally projected, from Jan. 1 of this year until June 30, 2015, the end of Colorado’s next fiscal year. With the windfall, Colorado is considering spending some $45.5 million to prevent kids from using pot; that seems a waste, since it’s obvious that horse has left the barn. While the science is clear that marijuana use is not good for younger brains, it’s going to be difficult to stop teenagers from inhaling when they see the adults among them indulging. Other destinations for the tax revenue will be $40.4 million to treat substance abuse and another $12.4 million for public health, according to one budget proposal being considered. New Mexico failed to put a marijuana legalization constitutional amendment on the ballot during this short legislative session. But the tax dollars flowing into Colorado coffers surely will make legislators consider legalization more closely in the years ahead. And New Mexico has great need for this money. The most logical use, should New Mexico decide to legalize marijuana, would be to invest dollars in rehabilitation and treatment for alcoholics and hard drug users. Ironically, money from marijuana might be the way to help New Mexico kick other addictions. What did come out of the recent session is a nonbinding House memorial to study the effects of marijuana legalization both in Colorado and Washington states. The Legislative Finance Committee is charged with conducting the study, looking for legalization’s effects on state revenue, agricultural production and law enforcement. It’s essential, too, to see how states are dealing with driving under the influence of marijuana and how workplaces are handling employee pot use. It’s more complicated than legalize and watch the money flow in. However, criminalizing what so many people use is not working. Especially, as more is learned about the medicinal possibilities of marijuana, it makes sense to find a way to take the profits out of the hands of criminals. A study is a smart place to begin.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 25, 1914: Running 40 miles an hour, a sharp turn was too much for the motor car driven Sunday morning by a party of Santa Fe young men who were thrown into a sandbank. They were able to get up uninjured and race after the front wheels, which were separated from the machine. Feb. 25, 1964: The driver services division of the State Motor Vehicle Department withdrew the driving privileges from 158 motorists during the week ending Feb. 7. Area drivers who lost driving privileged were listed. Santa Fe’s new archbishop, the Most Rev. James Peter Davis, called upon New Mexico’s 250,000 Catholics today to “conquer our indifference and selfishness” and strive for “loving, peaceful conquest of the minds and affections of others.” Feb. 25, 1989: Santa Fe County has given a Canadian gold-exploration company permission to hunt for gold near the Ortiz Mountains. The company will be allowed to dig a mineshaft and drill exploratory holes in Carache Canyon, along the southwest flank of the Ortiz Mountains south of Santa Fe. The rising price of gold, $391 per troy ounce, has resurrected interest in area gold deposits.

hese titles — Caddyshack, National Lampoon’s Animal House, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Stripes — are some of the most beloved and widely quoted comedy classics of the last 30 years. They’re also Harold Ramis’ filmography. Ramis, the writer-directoractor who quietly and often off-screen created an unparalleled and hugely influential body of laughs, died Monday. He was 69. He suffered for several years from an autoimmune disease that caused inflammation and damage to his blood vessels, and died at his home in the Chicago suburbs, surrounded by family and friends, his talent agency said. His death rattled a modern comedy world Ramis helped build. His legacy as a father figure to generations of comedians was appropriately captured in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up, in which Ramis was cast as Seth Rogen’s father, Apatow said, “because we all saw him as the dream dad.” “Harold Ramis made almost every movie which made me want to become a comedy director,” Apatow said. “These films are the touchstones of our lives.” Chevy Chase, whom Ramis directed in Caddyshack and National Lampoon’s Vacation, called him “a great man who shunned unnecessary Hollywood-type publicity.” “It was Harold who acted out and gave me the inspiration for the character of Clark Griswold,” Chase said Monday. “I was really copying Harold’s impression of Clark.” Admittedly lacking the dashing leading-man looks of some of his peers, Ramis was memorably nebbish: curly haired, gangly and bespectacled. He played Ghostbuster scientist Egon Spengler (naturally, the brainy one with all the ideas), and Bill Murray’s Army recruit buddy in Stripes. But the Chicago native and early member of the improv comedy troupe Second City was a far larger force behind the camera. The intellectual Ramis was the Zen master to a wild, improvising comic storm that included Murray, John Belushi, Chase and Dan Aykroyd. He co-wrote and directed Caddyshack, Groundhog Day and Analyze This. He helped pen Meatballs, Stripes and Ghostbusters. Ramis could be reasonably credited with making more people roll in the aisles from the late ’70s to the early ’90s than most anyone else. “He earned his keep on this planet,” Murray said in a statement. With a Baby Boomer countercultural bent, Ramis — who escaped Vietnam service, he claimed, by checking every box on the medical history form — pushed against institutions: the college dean of Animal House, the country club members of Caddyshack, the drill sergeant of Stripes. Ramis, who became a Buddhist in midlife, was known to have a spiritual pull, on full display in the wry but earnest existentialism of Groundhog Day (1993), in which Murray re-lives a day until he finally gets it right. The son of Chicago shopkeepers, Ramis was born Nov. 21, 1944. After graduating from Washington University in St. Louis, he briefly worked

in a mental institution. He often said, seriously, that the experience helped prepare him for working with actors. Harold Ramis would Ramis help recalibrate the epicenter of American comedy at Second City, which he joined in 1969. He soon was followed by many of his later collaborators: Belushi (Animal House), Murray and Dan Aykroyd. In 1976, he became head writer for the Canadian-based comedy show Second City Television, or SCTV. Chicago, he later said in the book of interviews And Here’s the Kicker, conditioned him to living “slightly on the outside of the mainstream.” “New York and L.A. were the real centers of culture in America, and we were kind of a sideshow,” Ramis said. “There’s always more comedy in being alienated than in fitting in.” He soon moved on to bigger projects — the legendary 1978 comedy National Lampoon’s Animal House, which he wrote with National Lampoon cofounder Doug Kenney. With Murray as the comic lead, the Second City alums paired up for numerous projects: 1979’s Meatballs, 1980’s Caddyshack and 1981’s Stripes. The “Cinderella story” scene in Caddyshack came from Ramis suggesting Murray talk to himself like a sports announcer. Though Ramis had once harbored lead actor dreams, he realized his better fit was as a straight man or a director of more uninhibited talents like Belushi or Murray. “As a person of intellect, I could complement John or Bill, who were people of instinct; I could help guide and deploy that instinct,” he told The New Yorker in 2004. Perhaps the most wellknown of their collaborations was “Ghostbusters.” Ramis helped write the 1984 movie, in which he stars as the commonsense member of a group of parapsychologists who try to catch ghosts. “The best comedy touches something that’s timeless and universal in people,” Ramis said in a 2009 story about the 50th anniversary of Second City. “When you hit it right, those things last.” After Groundhog Day, Ramis and Murray fell out and didn’t speak for years. The cause of the rupture between the pair isn’t widely known, as neither have ever spoken much publicly about it. The Chicago Tribune reported that Murray visited Ramis during his illness. Ramis’ last hit was Analyze This, the therapist comedy starring Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro. Like many of his later films (1996’s Multiplicity, 1995’s Stuart Saves His Family), it hinged on a story of personal redemption. Some of his last efforts (2000’s Bedazzled, 2009’s Year One) were notable flops. The Ice Harvest, a 2005 comedy starring John Cusack, was one of the darkest comedies for Ramis. A third Ghostbusters with director Ivan Reitman has long been rumored, but is yet to materialize in any substantial way. Ramis is survived by his wife, Erica Ramis; sons Julian and Daniel; daughter Violet; and two grandchildren.

RATON — Several coaches will lose their jobs as a result of the Raton School District’s attempt to comply with a federal labor law it has been violating “for years,” Superintendent Neil Terhune announced last week. Terhune explained in an interview that the school district has been in violation of the portion of the Fair Labor Standards Act that addresses payment of nonexempt hourly employees, some of whom are sports coaches or extracurricular activities advisers. Nonexempt employees include bus drivers, custodians, instructional aides and paraprofessionals. The school district has a salary schedule in place that defines how much each coaching position or extracurricular club director or adviser receives. Currently, the district pays its coaches and assistant coaches a salary up to 20 percent of what is considered a standard measure regarding pay. “One of the problems with this is that the measure has not been defined by federal law,” Terhune said.

The second comment says that “unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score.” The runner shall be declared safe if the catcher violates that provision. In addition, it is not a violation “if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable.” “There are some things that often

Jason Collins has a week and a half to prove himself to the Brooklyn Nets. He signed a 10-day contract, one of the toughest deals in sports because it gives non-superstars almost no time to impress their coaches and teammates in hopes of Jason Collins sticking around. With this group, Collins did that long ago: The Nets locker room is filled with former teammates who have already accepted the league’s first openly gay player and his on-court habits, which are the ones that matter most to them. “Guys already know what to know to expect from me. It’s like, OK, he’s not going to magically have a 40-inch vertical [leap] and shoot 3s,” Collins said. That made it the ideal place for his historic return to the NBA. Perhaps, as numerous players insisted after Collins came out in a Sports Illustrated article last April, athletes were ready to accept a gay teammate. Maybe Collins would have been welcomed anywhere he signed. But maybe not. As the bullying scandal involving the Miami Dolphins proved, the locker room can be a place where abusive language can divide a team and threaten to derail a season, to say nothing of the fallout for the players themselves. The loudest voices with the Nets, however, belong to the team leaders, and they’ve already made up their mind about Collins.

MLB collision rule leaves open exceptions By Ronald Blum

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Rather than ban home plate collisions outright, Major League Baseball and its players adopted a rule limiting them this season. In what both sides said was a oneyear experiment, the rule allows collisions if the catcher has the ball and is blocking the runner’s direct path to home plate, and if the catcher goes into the basepath to field a throw to the plate. “It’s not a radical departure from what it had been,” Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon said. The new rule, 7.13, states “a runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate

night. Playing with a renewed sense of confidence and determination, Santa Fe High rolled over, around and through Española Valley in a onegame tiebreaker playoff to determine the top seed in this week’s District 2AAAA Tournament. Jackie Martinez had a game-high 19 points, Kayla Herrera added 15 and Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage 10 as the Demonettes (25-2) pulled away in a lopsided second half en route to a 63-44 win. Santa Fe High will host the 2AAAA championship game Friday night in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium. Española Valley (21-6) will be the tournament’s No. 2 seed and host the semifinal game later this week. “Look, this win is nice but I’m not — we’re not — in this to win district championships,” said Santa Fe High head coach Elmer Chavez. “This is about finishing first in the state and peaking when we get to the playoffs. District titles are nice, but that’s not the goal.” Necessitated after both teams went 7-1 during the regular season in district play — with each winning on the other’s home floor — Monday’s neutral-site game at Griffth Gymnasium was all Demonettes after halftime. Leading 26-21 at the break after Martinez scored 10 points in the

rule shall be declared out, even if the fielder drops the ball. “It’s good, I think it takes away the malicious intent behind the play at the plate,” Texas Rangers catcher J.P. Arencibia said. “Obviously the runner doesn’t always have to slide, and the catcher still has the ability to block the plate once he has the ball in hand.” Along with the rule, the sides agreed to a pair of comments umpires use for interpretation. The first comment says “the failure by the runner to make an effort to touch the plate, the runner’s lowering of the shoulder, or the runner’s pushing through with his hands, elbows or arms, would support a determination that the runner deviated from the pathway in order to initiate contact with the catcher in

sPorts PREP ROUNDUP

SFIS overpowers St. Mike’s in district opener

The New Mexican

Defense has been a mainstay for the St. Michael’s girls basketball program, but it eluded the Lady Horsemen on Monday night. SFIS 54 The Lady Braves St. Michael’s 44 of Santa Fe Indian School outscored St. Michael’s 17-6 in the fourth quarter to take a 54-44 win in the opening round of the District 5AAA Tournament in PerezShelley Gymnasium. SFIS, the fourth seed in the tournament, travels to Albuquerque Wednesday to play Sandia Preparatory in the 5AAA semifinal. The third-seeded Lady Horsemen (15-12) led 38-37 after three quarters and even led by a point at the halfway point of the quarter, but they missed opportunities to put some distance between themselves and the Lady Braves. “We had the lead and twice we stop

them or get a steal,” said Martin Romero, St. Michael’s head coach. “We push the ball and we find a way to turn it over.” The Lady Braves (10-17) took advantage and made 10 of 12 free throws down the stretch for the upset. It was the poor defensive effort by the Lady Horsemen, however, that had Romero most upset. “We were lazy to talk, lazy to move,” Romero said. “We were lazy to make the right strides.” Shaina Roanhorse had 18 points to lead SFIS, while Kayla Joe added 11. St. Michael’s was led by Alex Groenewold’s 17 points, while Cristiana Gabaldon had 16. BOYS Mora 66, Pecos 51 Once again, the Rangers used a strong second half to pull away from the Panthers, this time in a 2AA first-round game in Sen.

Joseph Montoya Gymnasium. Mora (12-15) went on an 18-7 scoring run in the third quarter to take a 50-32 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Pecos (6-21) managed to trim the margin to eight with three minutes left, but the Rangers restored order as well as the smile on head coach James Branch’s face. Who could blame him? After a 6-11 start to the season, Mora managed to take second place in the district and get home court advantage for the first two tournament rounds. “We should be 6 feet under right now,” Branch said. “We should be pushing daisies. Right now, we’re on the verge of the state tournament. I can’t remember being any happier than I was after [Monday’s game].” Jeremiah Olivas and Casimiro Fresquez each had 20 points for Mora, while the Panthers were led by Chris Vigil’s 11. Mora will be host to Monte del Sol on Wednesday for the 2AA semifinal, with the winner playing Santa Fe Prep for the 2AA tournament title on Friday.

Girls: SFHS shot 64 percent from the field Continued from Page B-1 second quarter, Santa Fe High blew the game wide open early in the second half when Lozada-Cabbage sparked a 10-3 run with a putback following her own miss. That run opened a 10-point lead that never got below seven points the rest of the way. The margin grew to 13 points early in the fourth quarter and 21 before the end of the game. The Demonettes started the game by controlling the low post as most of their shots came within 10 feet of the basket. In building an early 10-4 lead that grew to as many as seven before the halftime buzzer, they forced the Lady Sundevils to sag their defense to stop the damage inside. Once they did that, players like Martinez and Bryana Garcia began taking advantage with quality looks from distance. Martinez hit a pair of 3-pointers in the second quarter, both of which came in the far corner just moments after Española made it a one-possession game with a 3 of their own at the other end. “It was consistent, that’s about as much as I can say,” Martinez said. “I played four quarters tonight, which I haven’t done all season long. And that’s four quarters offensively. Usually I’ll put on two quarters defensively and two quarters offensively, so this

time it was a complete game the whole time. My whole team did that. We haven’t had a game like that all season.” Española’s only lead was 2-0. The Lady Sundevils stayed in the game in the first half thanks to Ashlynn Trujillo’s work inside and the long-range shooting of Kayla Romero, Alexis Lovato and Kaitlyn Romero. The latter three combined for four 3-pointers in the final five minutes of the first half to keep things close. Once those shots stopped falling, the rout was on. Lozada-Cabbage said she and her teammates were pleased with the win. They also know that there’s a lot of room for improvement.

“We had 10 turnovers in the first half, so that’s something we need to work on,” she said. “We can play better, but this was a good time for us to play four strong quarters in the same game.” Santa Fe High shot a blistering 64 percent (28 of 44) from the field, outrebounding the Lady Sundevils 32-27 and forcing 19 turnovers compared to 13 miscues — just three of which came in the second half — of their own. Española shot 33 percent on 16 of 48 shooting. Kayla Romero had a team-high 12 points while Trujillo, Lovato and Kaitlyn Romero each had eight points. Monday’s loss was Espa-

ñola’s third in four tries against Santa Fe High this season. If the Lady Sundevils manage to win in the 2AAAA semifinals later this week, they’ll set up a fifth meeting with the Demonettes on Friday. Chavez said that the loss at home to Española two weeks ago served as a wakeup call to the entire team. The players agreed. “No player in the history of sports has won every single game they’ve ever played,” Martinez said. “Even Michael Jordan lost like 9,000 games. The best lose every now and then and we know that. One loss wasn’t going to get us down.” Said Lozada-Cabbage: “Losing that game lifted a big weight off our shoulders. We didn’t want to lose it but we had all that stress of having those 18 or 20 straight wins. It took it off and now it’s like we have a fresh start.” Pairings for the state tournament will be released Sunday during a live webcast at www. proviewnetworks.com. If Santa Fe High wins again in the 2AAAA finals, a top-three seed is all but assured. “What a win like this does for us getting the top seed [at state], I don’t know,” Chavez said. “I think we can get the third seed, at worst. Maybe the 1-seed if we an take care of business in the [2AAAA] championship game. We’ll see. There’s work to be done.”

Lobos: Florida has won 19 straight games Continued from Page B-1 other four first-place votes. Donovan called the rankings a revolving door before his Gators took over the top spot, and he said being No. 1 is an honor and compliment. “But let’s be honest right now: The only reason we have garnered No. 1 and we would have never, ever been No. 1 if it had not been for the teams in front of us losing,” Donovan said. To Donovan, a lot of teams could be considered the nation’s best right now with undefeated Wichita State having a strong argument. Donovan also said he’s impressed by Syracuse winning 25 straight games along with what Arizona did before Brandon Ashley’s foot injury. “It’s not like all of a sudden Florida is No. 1 or you get a ranking and we’re the best team in the country,” Donovan said. “We’ve been given a number, and that’s about the extent of it.” These Gators have won a school record 19 straight games coming off a 75-71 win at Mississippi where they shut down Marshall Henderson in the second half. They can clinch at least a share of the Southeastern Conference title on Tuesday night with a win at Vanderbilt before having a chance

to wrap up the championship against LSU on Saturday. Playing at Memorial Gym means dealing with the unique layout with the benches on the end lines. Even though Vanderbilt is playing short-handed with only seven scholarship players and even used a couple of walk-ons, the Gators with their new ranking will be tested quickly. Florida senior forward Will Yeguete thinks the Gators will handle the challenge well. “Our lives aren’t really changing,” Yeguete said. “We’re No. 1. That’s a really good accomplishment, especially for us being No. 1. But I think Coach D will use that to motivate us. We’ve been No. 2 before. We know what it is to be ranked really high. We know you just take one game at a time.” Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall told The Associated Press that being ranked No. 2 means the Shockers are being recognized for an outstanding season so far, and they plan to keep pushing to see how high they can go. “Florida is an outstanding team,” Marshall said. “I’ve watched them, I really think they’re good, there’s a lot of good teams out there. But I just think this con-

tinues to be a carrot for our team. It continues to be a goal and it’s a very lofty goal, and it’s something to strive for.” Kansas jumped three places to fifth and was followed by Duke, Louisville, Villanova, Creighton and Saint Louis. Syracuse, which was No. 1 the past three weeks, lost to Boston College and Duke last week, the Orange’s first losses of the season. North Carolina, SMU and New Mexico all returned to the Top 25 this week replacing Connecticut, UCLA and Gonzaga. MWc Notes Wyoming junior guard Charles Hankerson Jr. has been suspended indefinitely from the team. Coach Larry Shyatt announced the suspension Monday. No other details on the suspension were released. Hankerson is the second Cowboys player to be suspended indefinitely in as many weeks. Freshman forward Keonta Vernon was suspended last Wednesday. Hankerson has played in 27 games this season, including making one start. He is averaging 5.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in just over 17 minutes of action.

SDSU drops to No. 13 after big loss to Lobos By Bernie Wilson

The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego State University Aztecs will be smarting for some time from their big loss at New Mexico, well aware that they have one more regular-season game against the Lobos and most likely another showdown in the Mountain West Conference tournament, as well.

The Aztecs (23-3, 12-2) are trying to focus on Tuesday night’s home game against lastplace San Jose State. But they got a big reminder of Saturday night’s 58-44 loss to the Lobos when they dropped seven spots to No. 13 in the new Associated Press poll Monday. “They grabbed us by the throat and didn’t let go from start to finish,” Aztecs coach Steve Fisher said.

SDSU was overwhelmed by New Mexico power forward Cameron Bairstow, who scored 26 points. Star Aztecs guard Xavier Thames had an off night with only seven points. After Tuesday night, the Aztecs have games at Fresno State and at UNLV before finishing at home on March 8 against New Mexico. Barring early upsets, the Aztecs and Lobos likely will

meet in the conference tournament. The Lobos have eliminated the Aztecs from the conference tourney in consecutive seasons, including in the title game two years ago. Fisher noted that the Lobos were the preseason pick to win their third straight MWC title, and the Lobos began the year in the Top 25 while the Aztecs didn’t.

NFL COMBINE

Character on center stage By Michael Marot

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Colt Lyerla came to the NFL scouting combine with more to prove than just about anyone else. Not on the field, off of it. Two months after the former Oregon tight end pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, he was answering questions in Indianapolis about why his life went astray and trying to convince league scouts that his troubled days are over. “I’d say that I’ve put myself in a position where my back’s against the wall, to a point that if I don’t do everything perfect and the right way, that I won’t be able to play football, let alone be successful in any shape or form,” Lyerla told reporters with a stone-faced expression. Convincing coaches and team officials that he’s changed may be the most important part of the draft process for Lyerla, and history shows the wrong answers could seriously damage his pro prospects. Teams routinely claim they remove college players from their draft boards for serious character flaws. It came up again after former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested last summer. Da’Rick Rogers showed up at last year’s combine with the size and stats scouts covet. But after admitting he was booted off the team at Tennessee because of multiple failed drug tests, Rogers wound up signing with Buffalo as an undrafted

rookie, and then was cut and landed on the Colts’ practice squad before finally making an active roster. Now it’s Lyerla’s turn. While he measured in at 6-foot-4, 242 pounds and turned in an impressive time of 4.61 seconds in the 40-yard dash, Lyerla must now show he’s a different guy than the one some have branded as overly emotional and prone to outbursts. It matters to teams, which have spent lots of time and money delving into player backgrounds, so they know

what they’re really getting on draft weekend. “We tended to separate the stories from the facts. I think that’s important for readers and spectators and fans to recognize — what may be a hot media story may not be an issue to the teams,” longtime NFL executive Bill Polian said. “When we found out what happened with Manti Te’o, it was no longer an issue.” This year’s biggest question marks include players who were suspended by coaches for Twitter posts, players who

publicly castigated fans, drugrelated suspensions, arrests, one player who punched a teammate, and one accused of helping to cover-up an alleged rape after the fact. How players and agents handle the weekend’s questions depends on the strategy — and the nature of the issue. George Atkinson, a running back who was suspended for Notre Dame’s bowl game, and Lyerla walked into the media room and responded to the more difficult questions with blunt answers.

His best attribute on the mound is his attitude, he said. “It’s just that football mentality of being relentless and believing that no one can hit me,” Winston said. “Obviously, I know I’m not that good, but it’s just the mentality perspective of it, and as a pitcher that’s the type of mentality that you need.” He fancies himself a decent hitter and would rather be a full-time position player than a pitcher, “But obviously I’m blessed with many talents to be able to get on the mound,” he said. Because pitching and playing quarterback require optimum throwing-arm health, Winston said he spends extra time with trainers in an effort to prevent injuries. “He has good mechanics in baseball, so it’s not like he is going to hurt his shoulder or hurt anything that way,” said Florida State quarterback coach Randy Sanders, who accompanied Winston to New Orleans. “He has good mechanics in football, so I think that will hold up well and it is something he has been doing pretty much his whole life, so I don’t expect any problems.” Winston said baseball also keeps him grounded.

Although those affected were offered the opportunity to continue their jobs for the remainder of their contracts, the announcement did not sit well with members of the dance team and its coaching staff. One of the dance coaches resigned effective immediately, which left members of the team in tears, Terhune noted. The coach is now threatening to sue the school district for back wages. “You got somebody out there that worked 17 years for the dance team, and getting $8,000 a year for that, and being told that they are not going to have a job next year, you see where that’s going,” Terhune said. He indicated that he was not happy about the decision he had to make. “Honestly, I think it’s wrong. From a principal’s standpoint, it’s wrong. From a legal standpoint, I don’t have a choice.”

site at www.dol.gov/whd/ flsa. It states that nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for work over a 40-hour work week. “We’ve got a situation here that for many years, we’ve been out of compliance,” Terhune said. Terhune gave an example of an unnamed assistant football coach who is also employed as an instructional aide. The assistant football coach receives a stipend of $1,450 per full season. If the person were to be paid time and a half, this would amount to about $3,400 to $3,500 per season. That becomes too expensive for the school district, Terhune said. “What happens is if you try to correct that, and become in compliant with the law, then you start having to pay this $3,500 for a $1,500 job.” “Meanwhile, the head coach who is a teacher who doesn’t get the time and a half gets $4,000,” he added. The law indicates nonexempt employees of the school district may not volunteer for their coaching positions. “When Congress amended the FLSA in 1985, it made clear that people are allowed to volunteer their services to public agencies and their community with but one exception — public sector employees may not allow their employees to volunteer without compensation,” Terhune said. Terhune explained, “We have to become compliant, and we can only do that in The Raton Comet is a sister one of two ways.

GOLF

A big win and new set of priorities for champion Jason Day

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

MARANA, Ariz. — Along with celebrating a World Golf Championship that took him to No. 4 in the world, Jason Day couldn’t help but consider the rest of the young season and wonder just how much higher he could go. That’s when he paused to reflect, and to make a confession. One of the worst labels hung on any golfer is that he’s only playing for a check. Day said he used to be one of those guys. “I’m going to be honest here,” he said, almost as if he had something he wanted to get off his chest. “I come from a very poor family. So it wasn’t winning that was on my mind when I first came out on the PGA Tour. It was money. I wanted to play for money because I’d never had it before. Winning takes care of everything. And it’s not about the money anymore. I just to play golf — golf that I love — and win trophies.” To look at his raw skill is to forget that few things in life have come easily to the 26-year-old Australian.

His father died of cancer when Day was 12. As a kid, he had to shop at a used clothing store, where for $5 he could stuff as much as he could into one bag. Finding refuge in Jason Day golf and inspiration from the work ethic of Tiger Woods, he won a Nationwide Tour event at 19 and seemingly was on his way. After six years on the PGA Tour, he earned close to $14 million — but had only one win, at the Byron Nelson Championship. He had a pair of close calls at the Masters, and nudged even closer to a major last year at Merion when he tied for second behind Justin Rose. But it’s all about winning. Day seems to have figured that out. It’s easy to call the Match Play Championship the biggest win of his career because there hasn’t been many others. But when he sat down with his team last fall before embarking on a new season, the goals were clear.

“That’s all I’m trying to do is win,” he said. Day won the individual title in the World Cup last November at Royal Melbourne, where he and Masters champion Adam Scott delivered Australia the team title. And now he has a World Golf Championship, carved out over five days, six matches and 113 holes. This required mental strength to go along with physical tools, especially after having to watch Victor Dubuisson pull off two shots that would have left anyone wondering if the golfing gods were conspiring. From the base of a cactus, the Frenchman went for broke by blasting at the ball — even his club was snagged by a television cable — and knocking it up a rough-covered slope and down onto the green to 4 feet. One hole later, Dubuisson’s ball was at the bottom of a desert bush among rocks bigger than a golf ball when he popped that shot onto the green to save par. At this point, Day went from disbelief to laughter. What else could he do? “At that time you’re just thinking, ‘Do I need to just hand him the trophy now

after those two shots?’ But I didn’t want to do that,” Day said. “I wanted to win so bad, and I’ve been wanting to win so bad. And there was nothing that was going to stop me. I felt great from the start of the week. I had a good preparation coming into this week. The swing felt great. Just for some reason, this week felt different to any other week I played. “And I just wanted it more than anything in the world.” Day refuses to look back at the last six years as an underachievement. The hard work never stopped even as the trophy case was relatively empty. Day set the bar high when he first joined the PGA Tour through the Nationwide Tour and said he was ready to take down Woods. There’s still time. Plenty of time. Day only has to look at Scott and Justin Rose, who didn’t win majors until they were in their early 30s. He no longer is hung up on Woods and Rory McIlroy, both of whom had won multiple majors by this time. “I think the biggest thing for myself is just to understand I’m not Rory. I’m not Tiger. I’m not Adam Scott. I’m not

Justin Rose,” he said. “I’m Jason Day. And I need to do the work and it will happen. I’ve just got to be patient.” He has reason to be excited. The Masters is just around the corner, a place so special that Day refers to it as the closest thing to heaven on Earth. He made a late surge at Augusta National in 2011 before Charl Schwartzel blew past everyone with four straight birdies. Last year, he had a two-shot lead standing on the 16th tee and made back-to-back bogeys, finishing two shots out of the playoff. The goal hasn’t changed. He still wants to be No. 1 in the world. And he knows now it won’t be easy. Then again, his week at Dove Mountain was anything but that. And in a format where every day feels like Sunday, that might turn out to be the biggest payoff. “As long as I keep working hard and I want it as much as this, hopefully the floodgates will open and I’ll win a lot more,” Day said. “But it’s totally up to me if I want to win one more or 10 more or 20 more. It’s just how much I want it.”

blacks, so the NBA has seen the benefit of embracing groups who previously felt shut out. “Twenty years ago or 30 years ago, I wouldn’t be standing here, probably,” said Toronto coach Dwane Casey, who is black. “If you’re going to exclude one group of people, you’re going to exclude more than one group. I think it’s great for the league.” The next gay athlete may not have the benefits that Collins enjoys. Perhaps Michael Sam, the Missouri football star who is expected in May to become the NFL’s first openly gay player, will end up with a team that isn’t quite ready for him — or maybe he doesn’t find a team at all. Collins had already spent 12 years in the league by the time the world knew he was gay. He’s a well-regarded Stanford graduate who just attended the State of the Union as a guest of first lady Michelle Obama and has made friends around the league — and particularly inside the Nets’ organization. “They have good group of guys here and again, either my brother or myself has been teammates with a lot of guys in this locker room,” Collins said, “so they’re very familiar with what you’re going to get from the Collins twins.”

Subject: ONE-WORD FILM TITLES: SEVEN LETTERS Each answer is a one-word film title consisting of seven letters. (e.g., 1973: A man is revived into a future world. Answer: Sleeper.)

Dear Annie: My wife of nearly 30 years and I are having some difficulties. Recently, she asked whether I wanted to go to Rome for a business conference. She thought we could see the sights afterward. I said yes, as I’m recently retired and have plenty of time. However, a few weeks later, I was uninvited. She said I wouldn’t enjoy the weather. Last week, I discovered that she is staying an extra day with someone else. She made these plans long before she disinvited me. Yesterday, she told me that a woman from work is staying with her for an extra day. I’ve never heard this woman’s name before. These meetings are held once a year in different locations, but this is the first time she has stayed any extra time. Additionally, over the past year, her behavior at work has changed. She has started wearing makeup and nicer clothes. She mentions taking walks with some guy or another and having coffee or lunch with some other guy. I’m sure taking a walk with Peter or having coffee with Paul and casual conversations with Larry are innocent enough. But I’ve noticed that these same guys only interact with attractive women like my wife. My wife doesn’t see a problem, but I know how guys think. I worry that my wife is looking beyond me. Am I worrying about nothing? — Anxious in Davis, Calif. Dear Anxious: The fact that your wife wants to be more attractive at work is not necessarily a problem. A lot of married people enjoy flirting for the attention and have no interest in pursuing things further. However, when your wife disinvites you to a trip to Europe and then stays an extra day, we would be concerned that she intends to party. Things can get out of hand when you are far away from your spouse and want to impress your work friends with how wild and crazy (and young)

you are. It’s time to have an honest conversation with your wife about your concerns. If she refuses to explain herself, counseling is the next step. Dear Annie: I have a big problem. I am only 49 and have been married twice. My first wife passed away 10 years ago in May, and I am still mourning her death. My new wife of seven years doesn’t think it’s normal that I still think about my first wife all the time. Can you help me deal with her death so I can move on and live a better life? — Still Grieving Dear Still: There is no timetable for grief, but if you haven’t moved much beyond your initial stages of mourning after 10 years, it’s time to seek professional guidance. It is normal to think about your first wife on occasion, but it is not normal to obsess over her, cry daily, turn her closet into a shrine or constantly compare her to your current wife. If you are doing any of these things, please ask your doctor to refer you to a grief counselor. Dear Annie: The letter from “Two Scared Parents” motivated me to speak up. People don’t seem to understand that alcoholism is an illness. I am an alcoholic with many years of sobriety. I attend AA meetings and have been to Al-Anon meetings. People whose loved ones have other serious diseases research to find out all they can about the disease. They are usually eager to learn in order to help. So why is it that when it comes to the deadly disease of alcoholism, the family complains, makes excuses and takes no action? They expect the sick person, the one who cannot think clearly due to alcohol in the brain cells, to be logical. When I ask, “Why don’t you go to AlAnon?” they tell me it’s not their problem. I realize it’s hard to understand that it is a disease. Please, dear friends, go find out all you can about alcoholism. Take action to help yourself. — Anonymous
