has persistently said the necessary track repairs on the Southwest Chief line are the responsibility of the federal government, not the taxpayers of New Mexico.

Martinez could derail plan to save Chief route By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

The greatest threat to derail Amtrak’s Southwest Chief from running through Northern New Mexico isn’t at ground level on its aging tracks, but perched four stories high in the New Mexico state Capitol. A proposed partnership to bring Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico together with Amtrak and track owner Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway to keep the train route active beyond 2015 could hinge on New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez’s support. The partnership calls for each to shoulder a share of the track maintenance costs, and proponents of the plan in all three states view Martinez as its foremost obstacle.

John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, unilaterally killed a bill last year that would have tapped the state’s $12 billion land-grant endowment to pay for more early childhood programs by refusing to let the Senate Finance Committee, which he chairs, vote on the measure.

Gay nightlife: The end of an era in Santa Fe? Locals, mayoral hopefuls speak out after Rouge Cat goes dark By Loren Bienvenu For The New Mexican

Santa Fe was once known for its gay nightlife. Hot spots like The Drama Club, the Cargo Club and The Paramount thrived during the height of the scene in the 1980s and ’90s, catering to visitors from around the country as well as the city’s own tight-knit LGBT community. But in recent years, the clubs have disappeared. Last week, the downtown dance club Rouge Cat became the latest, and perhaps last, public LGBT-oriented venue to go dark. “It’s the end of an era,” said reigning Miss Santa Fe Pride and drag performer Bella Gigante. Santa Fe is still known as a gay-friendly destination — and that reputation is likely to increase following the New Mexico Supreme Court’s

Critics fault John Arthur Smith’s handling of education funding measure By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

t age 72, with his shock of white hair and grandfatherly shuffle, state Sen. John Arthur Smith does not look like a magnet for controversy. Yet in the last year, Smith has emerged as one of the biggest targets of criticism among the state’s 112-member Legislature. Some of his most outspoken opponents used to be his natural allies. And two weeks into the 2014 legislative session, the chorus of denunciations is only growing louder. One of his chief critics is Sam Bregman, chairman of the state Democratic Party. Bregman recently accused fellow Democrat Smith of bossism and said Smith should become a Republican because he had lost touch with working-class people. The spokesman for New Mexico’s three Catholic bishops says Smith is so paternalistic about state finances that he is trying to stop the public from voting on how it spends its own money. And the Center for Civic Policy has com-

A

piled a list of Smith’s goofs, hoping to persuade other senators that he is wrong as often as he is right about money management. All the sharp jabs at Smith revolve around one high-profile issue. He opposes using part of the state’s $12 billion land-grant endowment to pay for more early childhood education programs. Smith’s personal stand on the issue did not inflame Bregman, but his political tactics did. A 24-year senator from Deming, Smith unilaterally killed a bill last year that would have tapped the endowment for more early childhood funding by refusing to let the Senate Finance Committee, which he chairs, take a vote on the measure. Bregman fears Smith will impede the measure again in this legislative session, and he said Smith might as well join the Republican Party because he is undercutting Democrats. For his part, Smith says he is comfortable with his decisions and unfazed by all the attacks. “You know as well as anybody that I have pretty thick skin,” Smith said one recent day,

after the bishops’ spokesman had just let go a blistering attack on him during a rally outside the Capitol. As for Bregman’s suggestion that he bolt the Democratic Party, Smith said he had no intention of budging. But, Smith added, he felt like Ronald Reagan in 1962. That’s when Reagan said he did not leave the Democratic Party, but the party left him. Among state senators, freshman Michael Padilla of Albuquerque is the most direct in challenging Smith for bottling up the bill to expand early childhood education. “I’m a member of this chamber, and I want the chance to vote on it,” Padilla said. “The amendment is a way to turn our economy around and make sure our workforce is at its best.” Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, said he had received many questions and complaints from his constituents about how Smith could refuse to hear a bill that had already cleared the House of Representatives and two Senate committees.

Mass mobs fill pews, lift prayers at N.Y. churches By Carolyn Thompson The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — You’ve heard of flash mobs? Behold the Mass mob. Playing off the idea of using social media to summon crowds for parties or mischief, mobs of Buffaloarea Roman Catholics have been filling pews and lifting spirits at some of the city’s original, now often sparsely attended, churches. It works this way: On a given Sunday, participants celebrate Mass en masse at a church they’ve picked in an online vote and promoted through Facebook and Twitter. Visitors experience the architecture, heritage and spirit of the aging houses of worship and the churches once again see the numbers they were built for, along with a helpful bump in donations when the collection baskets are passed. “I call these churches faith enhancers. You can’t help but walk in and feel closer to a higher power,” said Christopher Byrd, who hatched the idea in Buffalo last fall and has organized two Mass mobs so far, both of which drew hundreds. He’s heard from other cities about starting their own. The aim, he said, is to reignite interest, support and perhaps even membership in older churches that “kind of fall off the radar screen of people.” One such church is Our Lady of Perpetual Help in a neighborhood settled by Irish immigrants along the Buffalo River. The church once brimmed with 800 families when it was dedicated in 1900. Today, fewer than 50 worshippers typically amble into the Gothic-style sanctuary for Sunday Mass. It’s a familiar story among city churches that were built for waves of Polish, German, Irish and Italian immigrants but whose congregations have dwindled with the city’s population decline and suburban sprawl. Buffalo’s population is less than half what it was in 1950, when it peaked at 580,000. “We’re still here,” said the Rev. Donald Lutz, who welcomed a crowd of more than 300 on a recent Sunday after Our Lady of Perpetual Help, known to locals as “Pets,” was selected for the Mass mob. Organizers sought nominations from the public for churches on the Mass mob website and put the top three up for a vote. Online voting begins this week for the next mob, planned for March 23. “It’s wonderful,” said Lutz, who learned his church had been chosen two weeks before. “It just shows that we are not just one parish, that it’s the whole family of the diocese. We take care of each other. “And,” he added, “if it helps us pay a few more bills … ” With every pew occupied, later-arriving worshippers stood against the back wall, reminding 88-yearold parishioner Elizabeth Barrett of the way it used to be in the church she has attended since birth, a block from her lifelong home. “You had to get here very early when I was young, it was so crowded,” she said. “And now there are just a handful. It’s hard to accept, but you have to.” During the sign of peace, Lutz spent several minutes breezing up and down aisles, smiling and shaking hands. He invited all to a nearby community center for a pastry and coffee after the service. Several visitors arrived at the church with cameras, aiming them at brilliant stained-glass windows imported from Austria, the church’s pride and joy, and the ornate marble altar, the likes of which are seldom seen in the more modern suburban churches built today. “It’s wonderful to see the old churches. They’re beautiful,” said Barbara Mocarski, who came from nearby Lackawanna to be part of the mob. While the sanctuary is largely well-preserved, areas of cracking plaster and water stains show a need for costly maintenance. “Seeing the community together and caring about them, I was really happy to hear about it,” Mocarski said. Karen Huber of the suburb of West Seneca hoped the Mass mob idea would bring more young people back to church so that crowds would again be the rule, not the exception.

GOP weighs in on Christie’s future Top Republicans believe N.J. governor can weather scandal By Angela Delli Santi and Philip Elliott The Associated Press

TRENTON, N.J. — Fellow Republicans on Saturday debated the fallout over new suggestions that Gov. Chris Christie knew about a traffic-blocking operation orchestrated by top aides as apparent political payback earlier than he has acknowledged. Some said the accusations could derail hopes of Christie running for president in 2016 if he can’t shake the scandal soon, while others were quick to express faith in the governor while discrediting his accuser and questioning his motives. A letter released Friday by a lawyer for a former Christie loyalist who ordered the closures on the heavily traveled George Washington Bridge said evidence exists that the governor knew about the closings as they happened in September, which would contradict Christie’s previous assertions. The Governor’s Office has denied the claims by David Wildstein, a former executive with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, who was among four people who lost their jobs in the scandal. Reaction among top Republicans on Saturday appeared mixed, with most believing he could weather the storm but acknowledging the latest allegations hurt. “It’s not good for him,” said Matt Beynon, a Republican operative who worked on former Sen. Rick Santorum’s 2012 presidential campaign and still has him as a client. “The longer the story goes on, the worse it gets for him. If this is still an issue a year from

Nightlife: Some say closure is sign gay bars are no longer necessary Continued from Page A-1 December 2013 ruling affirming the right of same-sex couples to marry. Two of the three candidates running for mayor are openly gay. And in 2011, The Advocate, a national gay and lesbian magazine, placed Santa Fe second after Minneapolis in its list of “the gayest cities in America.” That makes the lack of a designated, public gay bar all the more notable. Residents critical of local nightlife might amend The Advocate’s label to “grayest city in America,” raising the question of whether the closing of Rouge Cat is just another symptom of an aging Santa Fe population. Others say the economy is to blame. But some, like Gigante, suggest the closure is a sign of gay and straight cultures so well integrated within the City Different that a gay bar is unnecessary. “I think maybe that could be a good thing,” Gigante said. “Maybe there’s no need for a gay bar.” When Rouge Cat opened in 2010, it was not designed to be a gay bar, according to the venue’s manager and resident disc jockey, Oona Bender. “We knew just opening a gay bar wasn’t sustainable,” she said. “We really just opened it to have music and a place for people to dance.” A longtime staple of the LGBT club circuit, she said the 1980s and ’90s represented the pinnacle of gay nightlife, largely because “there just seemed to be more young gay people who lived here.” Today, she believes, the town attracts an older and more couplesoriented LGBT demographic, especially in comparison to party destina-

tions like Las Vegas, Nev., and Palm Springs, Calif. “Bars and nightclubs are alive and well in Albuquerque,” she added. Albuquerque’s Effex Night Club on Central Avenue, perhaps the city’s most prominent gay dance club, can accommodate a crowd of 750. With the March 4 municipal election approaching, the issue of mayoral support for local nightlife has gained traction as a prominent concern, for younger voters in particular. Mayoral candidate and City Councilor Patti Bushee told The New Mexican the prolonged economic recession continues to affect local small businesses. “I would also say the aging population in general of Santa Fe is partly why there is not the population to support a whole lot of nightclub activity,” she said. Diversifying the economy, she added, could lure a younger workforce with more disposable income, as would city efforts to further develop public attractions like nature trails. “I’ve been talking about the music scene or lack thereof in the context of working hard in the last decade to put trails in place, so we entice a new generation of visitor here that’s a little younger,” she said. Candidate Bill Dimas, a former musician familiar with local venues, believes Santa Fe’s nightlife is impacted by the high rate of drunkendriving offenses in the county. The laws are “very stringent now, and that’s good,” he said. “Having been a judge for many years, I can tell you that people are finally sitting up and taking notice that it’s not a good idea to be drinking and driving. Law

enforcement is out there now, and that’s great, but it has had an effect on a lot of the places that serve alcohol at night.” He also said that Santa Fe bars have to compete with an increased number of casino venues. Candidate Javier Gonzales agrees that transportation is a problem. “We should begin to allow nighttime bus routes between St. John’s [College] and Santa Fe University [of Art and Design] and other areas around town so that people can have public transportation to nighttime venues,” he said. Gonzales advocates the development of what he termed “a nighttime economy, [one] that is functional after 9 p.m.”

Gonzales also agreed with the opinion that the silver lining to Rouge Cat’s closure may be its implications of growing tolerance. “For many people in the LGBTQ community, Santa Fe is a place where you don’t have to go just to a designated area, whether that be restaurants, movie houses, community centers, workplaces or nighttime venues,” he said. “I think the Rouge Cat in many respects kind of transitioned us to that point.” Bushee, who like Gonzales is openly gay, believes this culture of acceptance has largely been in place during most of the 30 years she has lived in Santa Fe. “I wouldn’t say in the last 25 years that the clubs were particularly seg-

regated,” she said. “So I think Santa Fe has been a little bit of an exception relative to some urban areas.” Some industry professionals, however, disagree with the notion that gay bars have become outmoded. Linda Krauss, the internal operations and event director at RainbowVision Santa Fe, a gay and lesbian retirement community, referred to the Starlight Lounge — a private club in the facility —as an important venue for the LGBT community at large. Krauss said she was sorry to see Rouge Cat go, but added that the club’s environment did not appeal to everyone. “I think for people over a certain age, it was too small and claustrophobic,” she said, “and I think people that are very young don’t have the money to support something like that on an ongoing basis right now. I don’t think it has anything to do with the LGBT family or anything.” Whether another venue will rise to take Rouge Cat’s place remains to be seen. In the meantime, several former Rouge Cat DJs have already rescheduled their events at other venues. DJ Oona, Melanie Moore and Donovan Livingston’s popular annual “Sex on Vinyl” event is now slated to take place at The Lodge at Santa Fe on Saturday, Feb. 8. Despite the loss of one of the last dedicated dance floors in town, Oona insists that the beat must go on: “You just got to realize that when something ends, then it gives you energy to do something new.” Contact Loren Bienvenu at lbienvenu@sfnewmexican.com.

Chief: Proponents of tri-state plan view Martinez as main obstacle Continued from Page A-1 So far, Martinez has not been keen on the idea. She has persistently said the necessary track repairs are the responsibility of the federal government, not the taxpayers of New Mexico. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, supports keeping the passenger line running through the southern portion of that state and expanding its route, according to the governor’s spokesman Eric Brown. Legislation with bipartisan support has been introduced in Colorado. It would add a stop in Pueblo to the Southwest Chief line. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, was a staunch critic of Amtrak when he served in the U.S. Senate, and his stance on the Southwest Chief has been ambiguous. But he made it clear that without funding from the other states and entities involved in the discussion, Kansas could not make it work. “We are studying this and have had conversations with Amtrak, BNSF, Colorado and New Mexico, but all parties would need to be at the table financially to make this work,” said Eileen Hawley, Brownback’s spokeswoman. The Southwest Chief runs from Chicago to Los Angeles. It passes through the western Kansas towns of Dodge City and Garden City en route to southeastern Colorado, where it goes through Lamar, La Junta and Trinidad. In New Mexico, it travels through Raton, Las Vegas, Lamy, Albuquerque and Gallup. “That Amtrak route has always been a concept I support,” said New Mexico Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe. “It means economic development for rural areas of the state and supports tourism.” If a funding agreement isn’t reached by the end of 2015, Lamy — the stop nearest to Santa Fe — would be cut from the route, along with Las Vegas, Raton and the towns in Colorado and southwest Kansas. Instead, the route would go from Wichita, Kan., into Oklahoma and Texas and on to Albuquerque from Amarillo, Texas, beginning in January 2016. The announcement by BNSF Railway that after that date, it no longer will maintain its tracks on the route at

speeds high enough for passenger trains triggered the states to scramble for a funding solution. The arrangement being discussed between the prospective partner states and railroads would call for each to provide $4 million a year for 10 years to maintain the existing route of the Southwest Chief through 2055. Legislatures are in session and crafting fiscal year 2015 budgets in all three states. Legislation seeking to authorize participation in the partnership has been introduced in Colorado and New Mexico and is in the drafting phase in Kansas, but neither the legislatures’ nor the governors’ budgets in any of the states as of Friday recommend funding it. In New Mexico, Rep. Roberto “Bobby” Gonzales, D-Taos, has introduced legislation calling for the state to

contribute its share to keep the Southwest Chief on its current route. House Bill 116 is tentatively scheduled for a hearing Tuesday in the House Transportation and Public Works Committee that Gonzales chairs. “As far as the legislative part, the committee, there’s not a problem,” Gonzales said. “To my knowledge, nobody has come out and said, ‘I can’t support that.’ Our hurdle is the Governor’s Office.” He said supporters of his bill have met with the governor’s staff about funding for the Southwest Chief and came away disappointed. “The administration’s reaction is basically not a very strong commitment,” Gonzales said. Martinez’s spokesman did not respond to questions Friday about the governor’s stance on funding to maintain the Southwest Chief’s existing route. But twice since the discussion heated up in November, the Martinez administration has issued the same statement. “We’re happy to discuss various proposals around this important issue, but Amtrak was created and funded by Congress since its inception, and thus, any agreement should not stick the taxpayers of New Mexico with a large tab,” Martinez’s spokesman, Enrique Knell, said in a written statement Jan. 8, echoing previous remarks. “According to the New Mexico [Department of Transportation], the state has never provided State funds for Amtrak service. We’re willing to work together on this issue, but any agreement needs to take that reality into account.” Because it carries an appropriation, Gonzales said, his bill can advance without a message from the governor authorizing the Legislature to discuss it. But he’s still concerned that Martinez

would veto it if it passes. Gonzales frets that his home state — due to Martinez’s position on the issue, in particular — could be the end of the line for the Southwest Chief. In Colorado, Rep. Leroy Garcia, D-Pueblo, has introduced a bill to preserve the Southwest Chief’s presence in that state. He has assembled a coalition of 26 co-sponsors, a mix of Democrats and Republicans. Garcia’s bill would kick in Colorado’s share of the funds for track maintenance and add a stop in Pueblo, where he says ridership on the line could get a boost from that county’s 160,000 residents. “It’s really the game-changer for the Southwest Chief as we know it,” Garcia said. He said the track already exists to extend the route through Pueblo, and county government has expressed it is willing to help defray costs associated with the extension. Amtrak would be willing to study how much the fuel and personnel expenses associated with extending the line approximately 80 miles north to Pueblo would change the estimated costs, but they undoubtedly would rise, Amtrak spokesman Mark Magliari said. “There would be some additional cost, just based on going the additional miles,” Magliari said. Any deviation from the principle task of preserving the current Southwest Chief route furrows brows among some proponents of the partnership. “The most important thing we need to do is save the Chief first, then we can add the caveats,” said Kansas Rep. John Doll, R-Garden City. “The Colorado legislation makes me nervous. It could throw everything out of whack.” The Southwest Chief faces a different set of problems in Kansas, where Doll

expects a Senate bill seeking to participate in the funding partnership to be introduced soon. “I am not aware of additional state funds that can be used for the purposes outlined by Amtrak to continue service of the Southwest Chief on its current alignment,” said Dennis Slimmer, chief of planning for the Kansas Department of Transportation. Garden City Mayor Dan Frankhauser also sees money as a monkey wrench to Kansas’ participation, but he’s hustling to find some. His city’s application for federal funds to aid the Southwest Chief’s cause was denied, and along with other towns on the route, Garden City has hired past Republican presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Bob Dole’s lobbying firm. “It’s probably going to have to come from the federal government in the form of a grant,” Frankhauser said. “I can’t see the state coming up with that sort of money.” Doll, the past mayor of Garden City, disagrees. “When you have a $6 billion, $7 billion budget and you can’t come up with $4 million for something as important as this, something’s wrong,” Doll said. “I think we can find that somewhere. I would suspect each state could. That’s chicken feed compared to what their budget is. We wouldn’t leave children starving or without education.” Doll said he’s nervous about the Southwest Chief’s future for a host of reasons, and Martinez’s posture tops the list. “That could be the roadblock,” he said.

Senator: Has reputation as most conservative Democrat in Senate Continued from Page A-1 “I recognize that there’s a lot of latitude in running a committee,” said Wirth, himself the chairman of the Senate Conservation Committee. “But if I get the chance, I’m going to support the amendment because early childhood education is the key to a whole range of issues. When you’re dead last in so many areas, education is the way out.” Smith, in his sonorous voice, said he blocked a vote on the bill to protect his fellow committee members from public criticism. He can be the lightning rod, he said. Smith is far from alone in his opposition to using a portion of the land-grant endowment to funnel as much as $200 million to $300 million a year to early childhood education programs. The endowment, called the Land Grant Permanent Fund, grows through investments and royalties paid to New Mexico for use of its land, notably for oil drilling, and it provides funding for the state’s public school systems and universities, among other beneficiaries. Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, is against the idea of using more funds from the endowment each year for early childhood programs. So are Republicans in the Legislature. They hold 50 of the 112 seats. Smith says tapping the endowment could erode the principal and hurt the state over the long term. Charles Wollmann, the spokesman for the State Investment Council, which manages the endowment, said, “We have concerns about technical aspects of the bill.” The council has been poring over the proposal. For instance, it has no sunset provision. Wollmann said the measure could consume more money in three years — about $800 million — than a previous initiative for other public programs used in 10 years. With the land-grant endowment, the State Investment Council annually distributes more than half a billion dollars for public programs. Most of that money goes to K-12 public schools. In Smith’s hometown of Deming, people are divided over the wisdom of using the endowment for another program. Andy Hernandez, a Deming school board member and a university professor, says nothing would make a bigger difference to New Mexico than getting every kid off to a successful start through early childhood programs. Hernandez said other generations were divided by skin color. Kids today care nothing about those old prejudices, but they are in just as much jeopardy as the days when racism held people down, he said. “Class will fracture their generation. It already has,” Hernandez said. A different view came from Bayne Anderson, president of the Deming school board. He says Smith is right about protecting the endowment. “I just don’t think you can rob that fund,” Anderson said. “It’s dangerous to do that. We need to push those legislators to find other sources of money.” But Wirth and other proponents of more funding for early childhood programs say protections built into the amendment mean the principal could never be touched. In fact, they say, the fund would continue growing, though not as fast, even if some money were diverted for early childhood education. Hernandez and Anderson both describe Smith as a politician whose word is good, no matter what the topic. “Sen. Smith has never lied to me about an issue,” Hernandez said. “I hate to put it so crudely, but that is the easiest way to say it.” Javier Benavidez, spokesman for the Center on Civic Policy, said Smith was anything but straightforward. “He grossly misled fellow legislators on the costs of a corporate tax-cut package in the closing y,

Smith says tapping the endowment for early childhood programs could erode the principal and hurt the state over the long term. minutes of the 2013 session,” Benavidez said. “The bill gave hundreds of millions in tax cuts to corporations without any accountability or guarantee of jobs. Then Intel cut 400 jobs after getting a $25 million tax break.” Smith helped put together the tax bill with Martinez’s administration. He says it will be good for New Mexico, creating jobs through a more favorable business climate. Benavidez says the early childhood initiative would be a better generator of jobs than any plan Smith has endorsed. More kids would end up in college and careers, and fewer would land in prison if the state committed to early childhood education for all, Benavidez said. “Our kids have dropped to dead last in the nation for child well-being,” Benavidez said of a survey last year by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Critics of Smith pounced after that ranking. Several of them interrupted a legislative hearing at The University of New Mexico to present Smith with a thank-you card “from the people of Mississippi.” Mississippi had been at the bottom of child wellbeing before New Mexico. Smith is still smarting over the card, and has blamed Allen Sanchez, a leading proponent of the early childhood initiative, for being part of it. Sanchez says neither he nor the groups he represents, the Catholic bishops and St. Joseph Community Health, would ever engage in such tactics. But Sanchez is punishing in his criticism of Smith’s political tactics. Denying the early childhood bill a vote in the last committee was Smith’s way of putting himself above the Legislature and of the people’s will, Sanchez said. Smith’s background is in business. He works in real estate appraisal but previously was in sales management with the H.J. Heinz Co. in Dallas. Smith first won election to the state Senate in 1988. These days, he usually confines himself to the agenda of his finance committee, but he once had higher aspirations. He won a Democratic primary for an open seat in Congress in 2002, but lost the general election to Republican Steve Pearce. Back then, Democrats nominated Smith because they thought someone from the conservative wing of their party would have a chance against Pearce, who still holds the congressional seat. Even before the recent explosion of controversy over Smith blocking the early childhood education bill, he had a reputation as the most conservative Democrat in the Senate. Last year, Smith argued against a Democratic initiative to raise the state’s minimum wage by $1, to $8.50 an hour. He mocked the proposal with a facetious amendment, but then joined all other Democratic senators in supporting it. Martinez vetoed the increase. Smith in 2012 was the only Senate Democrat who voted to repeal a law that enables undocumented immigrants to obtain New Mexico driver’s licenses. The repeal failed in the Senate. More recently, Smith has said he has no reason to vote against confirming Hanna Skandera, who runs the state Public Education Department for Martinez. After three years on the job, Skandera is finally expected to receive a vote in the Senate this

year, and many Democrats are mobilizing in hopes of knocking her from office. She has never been a teacher or a school principal, a sore point for educators such as Deming school board member Hernandez, who says

she should not be confirmed. A teachers’ union contributed heavily to Smith’s opponent in a Senate primary election two years ago, so Smith knows that is one constituency unlikely to support him.

The irony, to him, is that his wife was a teacher, and he views his stance as balanced and sensible. Anderson, the Deming school board president, said Smith carries a lot of influence. The Dem-

ing board wants to build a new high school. Smith has thrown his support to the project, and Anderson says that will translate to people voting for the bond issue in next week’s election. In this winter of discontent, Smith has received support from Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, who publicly chastised Democratic Chairman Bregman for knocking Smith. It was a gratifying moment for Smith. Michael Sanchez, after all, is sponsoring the constitutional amendment on early childhood education. But Michael Sanchez, the most powerful state senator, will not be in the hottest seat this winter. If the initiative again advances to Smith’s committee, he will be under pressure from the public and his party to allow a vote on it. Smith gives no indication of whether he intends to block the bill for a second time. “We’ll see what happens,” is all he will say. Contact Milan Simonich at 986-3080 or msimonich@ sfnewmexican.com.

the unions in the country that kept them from manufacturing those parts here. While there probably is some truth to that because of startup costs to produce and manufacture a product, I find it hard to believe that small, nonunion manufacturers wouldn’t love a crack at producing highly desirable restorative parts. And, thank goodness, some of these parts are being produced in this country. But not enough. This is where the rubber hits the road. President Obama is absolutely right in encouraging manufacturing to return to this country. However, it is going to be very difficult to convince vendors, because of profits and cheap labor costs, to return jobs to this country. I am convinced that with tax incentives, and maybe even subsidized loans, specialty manufacturing shops of 10 to 500 employees could bring back to the U.S. not only employment but the quality lacking in Chinese knockoffs. It is not just a matter of patriotism and national pride. We need to grow jobs here, keep them here and, most importantly, have the same American ingenuity, pride and quality that produced those beautiful and collectible classic cars. There is absolutely no reason why restoration parts cannot be produced here. Orlando Romero is a writer and historian.

Legislature webcasts should be archived

T

he state Legislature has been webcasting floor sessions and some committee meetings for years. You’d think that everyone would be used to it by now and all the awful fears about showing the public what goes on in this House of Round proved to be as insignificant as the open-government, pro-transparency crowd said. But apparently not. Something happened in the House last week that showed resistance to webcasting still is alive and well. It happened when Rep. Jeff Steinborn’s House Resolution 2 was introduced formally. This measure would require the Legislative Council Service to save all webcasts of House committee meetings and House floor sessions, so anyone with a computer could watch any of those meetings at their convenience. (So far there Steve Terrell has not been a similar move in the Senate.) Roundhouse Steinborn, a Las Roundup Cruces Democrat, got several co-sponsors, including at least one Republican, Rep. Jason Harper, R-Rio Rancho. At first glance, this would seem like an easy glide for the resolution. But no. When it was introduced, House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants, assigned it to not one, not two but three committees. House Appropriations and Finance, House Rules and Order of Business and House Judiciary. Yes, I said House Judiciary. Is someone afraid that archived webcasts from the Legislature might provoke an avalanche of lawsuits? Because HR 2 only would apply to the House, it doesn’t have to go through the Senate maze. Still, three committee hearings in a 30-day session could be the kiss of death. The resolution makes two very simple changes to the current House rule on webcasting. It scratches the word not from a section on committee webcasting, the one that says, “The streams shall not be archived.” It does the same thing in the section on floor sessions. The question is why those sentences prohibiting archiving were in the rule in the first place. The decision not to archive was a conscious one. Back in the pioneering days of webcasting the New Mexico Legislature, those ancient days of 2009, some lawmakers were outspoken in their resistance to the idea. Then Rep. Ray Begaye, D-Shiprock, said at a committee meeting that he was afraid what his political opponents might do. “They could use it if I’m sleeping and I’m being recorded. It could be used as a political gain [by] my opponent.” (Begaye, three years later, was defeated at the polls by Republican Rep. Sharon Clahchischilliage of Kirtland. But webcasting had nothing to do with his loss.) Over on the Senate side, Sen. Carlos Cisneros, D-Questa, said senators sometimes get “exhausted” after lengthy floor sessions and “say the wrong thing.” With webcasting, Cisneros said, “You’re on YouTube and there’s nothing you can do.” (At the time, both Cisneros and Begaye said they supported webcasting.) Back then, in this column, I suggested that before each session, lawmakers should be read their rights: “You are now entering the New Mexico state Legislature. You have the right to remain silent — even though that’s probably not why your constituents elected you. Anything you say or do on the floor of the House or Senate and in committee meetings can be held against you — and probably will be if you do or say anything idiotic. You have the right to claim that your stupid act or statement was ‘taken out of context’ even if the public has the right not to believe your sniveling.” As some Republicans pointed out to me when I recently blogged about Steinborn’s proposed rule change, Gov. Susana Martinez does archive floor sessions and some committee hearings. You can find those here: http://governor.state.nm.us/ Webcast.aspx. But Steinborn argued that the governor doesn’t have to do this. She could decide at anytime to stop, as could any future governor. Plus, Steinborn noted, while the governor does archive some committee meetings, she doesn’t do them all. However, unless the House proves me wrong and passes Steinborn’s rule change, the governor’s archived webcasts will have to do for the foreseeable future.

Stop truancy, improve graduation

K

nowledge is power — and essential to help Santa Fe’s public schools improve the dropout rate. A big piece of the puzzle about the high dropout rate recently fell into place. Santa Fe has one of the highest truancy rates in the state. In Santa Fe, nearly a third of students in the high schools and about 1 in 5 elementary and middle school students are truant habitually, Robert Nott reported. That’s defined as accumulating 10 or more days of unexcused absences within an academic year, according to state regulations. Many Santa Fe schools maintain attendance rates of at least 90 percent, but the district wants all schools to hit 95 percent — only three schools do that, all elementary schools. Attendance at the alternative school, Academy at Larragoite, is not quite 52 percent, while Santa Fe High School is barely 80 percent. Capital, at 90.87 percent, is leading the public high schools. The top elementary school for attendance is K-8 El Dorado Community School, at just over 98 percent. To change this reality, the district is creating a truancy task force to compile better information and come up with ways to improve attendance. We encourage the task force to focus on proven strategies that are working in schools across the country and to focus on positive, rather than punitive, measures. For example, state legislators are talking about a bill to suspend driving privileges for teenagers who are habitually truant. Sounds great, right? Driving is a privilege, etc. However, a teen who also is missing school might also be having to drive to work to help his family or support himself. For that teenager, driving might be a necessity. A better approach is to first make sure we can measure absences accurately. Technology can hinder reporting, and it’s impossible to fix a problem without a true measure of what is wrong. Is someone absent? Or tardy? Do all schools take attendance the same way, at about the same time? Know the scope of the problem first. Research shows that students who miss 20 days of class in sixth grade have, at best, a 20 percent chance of graduating on time. Those numbers come from Bob Balfanz, a researcher based at Johns Hopkins University. He tracked 13,000 students for eight years in Philadelphia. He found the common warning sign for students who don’t graduate on time is poor attendance. His program, Diplomas Now, brings recent college graduates into middle schools to focus on attendance and tutoring. One Seattle middle school has seen its math scores rise 18 points since the program started there. (Corporate grants are helping to pay for the program costs.) With resources scarce, the first target must be middle and high school students — otherwise we will lose those students. The key is to discover why kids are truant. Some skip school because they are ashamed that they can’t do the work. Others are needed at home to help with younger children or oversleep because of jobs. Others are experimenting with alcohol and drugs. Others might be victims of child abuse or suffering from health issues. The reasons are as varied as the children. Fighting truancy, then, must bring together various strategies. We favor efforts that bring affected groups together — emphasizing parents — and involving the entire community, from police to social workers to courts to neighbors who wonder why 13-year-olds are wandering the streets on a school day. The truancy task force should find a model, adapt it to Santa Fe and move forward — quickly. We can see a broad-based effort involving groups from Community in Schools to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern New Mexico to Americorps to YouthWorks to HOSTs — we have the resources if we deploy them — as part of the solution. New Mexico’s graduation cohort rates came out Friday. Santa Fe High’s graduation rate dropped from 67.6 percent to 62.6 percent; Capital’s, on the other hand, went from 60.7 percent to 64.2 percent. Truancy must come down for the graduation rate to improve. It’s that simple, and that difficult. Start with the very sick patients — the Academy at Larragoite and Santa Fe High — and develop intervention strategies worthy of a crisis. Send principals and administrators to knock on doors, if necessary. Initiate incentive programs immediately at the elementary schools. Best classroom attendance. Perfect attendance (heck, the local newspaper can run the names of students with perfect attendance). Best school overall attendance. Best improvement. Follow through with longer-term programs and support in the middle and high school grades. Going to school, every day, is essential to learning. Now, we must take that knowledge and put it to use.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 2, 1964: About 70 law enforcement officers from five city, county and state agencies were divided into flying squads for the climax of more than eight months of undercover work in what may be New Mexico’s greatest single attack on dope peddling. Officers swooped down on 22 places in Santa Fe County at dawn Saturday to arrest 20 suspected marijuana peddlers. By press time last night, it was known that at least three more were under arrest. The huge raid was planned in near total secrecy.

COMMENTARY: RUSS CASTRONOVO

On Super Bowl, turn to Mark Twain

M

ark Twain offers some perspective on the biggest controversy going into this year’s Super Bowl. When Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was interviewed after the thrilling end to the NFC playoff game against San Francisco, he responded with 15 seconds of adrenaline-fueled bravado on network television that broke with the usual script of humility and thankfulness. Since then, he has been called a “thug” countless times on Twitter, television and talk radio. Sherman has taken exception to that. “The reason it bothers me is because it seems like it’s an accepted way of calling somebody the N-word now,” he said. “It kind of takes me aback and it’s kind of disappointing.” Mark Twain, too, felt the emotional charge of “thug.” He recalled hearing in his boyhood days of “vague tales and

rumors of a sect called Thugs,” which scared him out of his wits. Later, on his visit to India, he explored the history of the Thuggee, a group of notorious bandits that waylaid and killed innocent travelers. It is from this group that “thug” made its way into the English language. Twain was shocked at hearing of the brazen murders committed by the Thuggee. But for anyone who was quick to associate such criminality with the natives of the non-Western world, Twain was just as quick to point out that India “had a civilization long before we emerged from savagery.” And Twain was surely tongue in cheek when he wrote that unlike the thugs of India, “we no longer take pleasure in slaughtering or burning helpless men.” Lynching was a horrific but common feature of the American landscape in Twain’s day, as the author of Huckleberry Finn knew well.

Twain also suggested that in the United States, we glorify violence in “hunting” and “sporting” — and sporting leads us right back to the Super Bowl. As we try to sort out the histories of race and violence and the working of the media that have become tangled up in the Richard Sherman controversy, it is helpful to remember that Twain was insistent about turning the lens back on white America. As he put it, “We white people are merely modified thugs.” For all those who were made uncomfortable when Sherman’s so-called rant invaded their living rooms, a good next step might be to emulate Twain and take stock of our own capacity for thuggishness.

Obama should stop mass deportations

P

resident Barack Obama’s remarks about immigration during his State of the Union address — and the ovation they drew from most Democratic and many Republican legislators — are fueling high hopes that Congress will finally reach an agreement this year to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants. That’s very nice, but Obama should have gone much farther. He should have announced a temporary suspension of massive deportations of law-abiding residents who may soon be legalized. While Obama has long advocated for legalization of most of the estiAndres mated 11 million Oppenheimer undocumented The Miami Herald immigrants, and Republicans have strongly opposed it, the Obama administration has deported record numbers of people. About 2 million undocumented immigrants have been deported since Obama took office five years ago, more than during George W. Bush’s eight years in office. During his State of the Union speech, Obama went out of his way not to criticize Republicans for having systematically opposed immigration reform. Most likely, he sensed that both parties are close to a deal, and he didn’t want to antagonize anti-immigration Republicans in the House, who remain the last stumbling block to immigration reform. Stressing the positive, Obama told the nation that “immigration reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next two decades.” He added, “Let’s get immigration reform done this year.” Pro-immigration advocates say it was smart politics by Obama. “In the crazy world of Washington, D.C., the more he says about immigration reform, the more Republicans are likely to resist it. In fact, you could say that he wants immigration reform legislation so badly, that he downplayed it in the speech,” says Frank Sharry, head of the America’s Voice pro-immigrant advocacy group. Rep. Cathy McMorris, R-Wash., who gave the Republican response to Obama’s address, also struck a positive note. She said, “We’re working on a step-by-step solution to immigration reform,” suggest-

ing that a deal may be in the works. Many Republicans say they are, indeed, rethinking their immigration stands. They lost the 2012 elections — as many of us predicted — in part because of their steadfast opposition to immigration reform and their thinly veiled hostility to undocumented workers, which offended many Hispanics. Now, Republicans badly need to change their image of being the “anti-everything party” in time for the November congressional elections. Still, many pro-immigration groups think Obama should have announced a temporary halt to massive deportations. In his State of the Union address, Obama said he would take executive action on several issues — including climate change, the minimum wage and Iran — but did not include immigration among them. A group of more than 30 Democratic legislators in recent days sent a letter to Obama asking that he use his executive powers to stop deporting all undocumented immigrants who may be eligible for legalization. Obama administration officials told me Wednesday that Obama can’t circumvent Congress on deportations, because it’s beyond his authority. Demanding that he suspend deportations amounts to asking that he stop enforcing the law, they say. Furthermore, the president wants a lasting congressional solution that will outlast his administration, they say. But Sharry of America’s Voice told me that it would be unfair to deport immigrants who are on the cusp of legalizing their status under pending legislation.

“Obama claims that he doesn’t have the authority to make significant changes to the deportation policy that is set by Congress, but he certainly has the authority to roll back the record deportations carried out by his own administration,” Sharry said. My opinion: Obama is on the right side of the overall immigration debate, but I don’t buy his argument that he doesn’t have the legal powers to suspend or slow deportations. Obama did precisely that in 2012, when he announced a program under which more than 455,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children — the so called “dreamers” — would get a two-year reprieve from deportation. Why not do the same now with adult undocumented immigrants? In previous years, Obama may have pressed the deportations pedal in hopes that anti-immigration Republicans would help him pass a comprehensive immigration reform. But times have changed. Republicans will vote for or against immigration reform mostly based on their political convenience, and their political convenience right now is recovering the little support they have left among Hispanics. There are hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who may be deported this year just months or weeks before Congress acts. It would be unfair to them, their families, and the country to deport them now. Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for The Miami Herald.

want to bring to City Council my 25-plus years of experience as a professional architect, smallbusiness owner and neighborhood advocate. I believe in our community’s desire to protect, preserve and conserve what it cherishes most about our great city and in its commitment to remedy the conditions affecting us all, namely that: u 58 percent of males graduate from high school. u 70 percent of our police officers live out of town. u 62 percent of our workers live out of town. u 57 percent of employers are seriously concerned about lack of affordable housing. u The property crime rate is 93 percent above the nation’s. u 80-pluspercent of crime in city is by males between ages 18 to 24.

This list challenges our community to find new ways to optimize our extensive human resources and to conserve our precious natural resource — water. We must engage one another in new multisector, multicultural and collaborative partnerships. As such, I envision the following strategic partnerships and goals: u Neighborhoods, police department, Homewise Inc., Santa Fe Homebuilders and YouthBuild — identify and convert properties to affordable duplex housing for new officers. u Chamber of Commerce and school district — create “graduation contracts” for “at-risk” students and “Entrepreneurial Mentorships” in exchange for post-graduation skills training, employment apprenticeships and/or tuition assistance. u YouthWorks and SITE Santa Fe — create “graffitti artist” exhibition panels and publications. u City Public Works Department and Chamber of Commerce — create commercial cardboard recycling; businesses making recycled “glass-phalt” and “glass bricks.” u YouthWorks, fire department, local arborists and neighbors near Santa Fe National Forest — remove combustibles from properties. u Merchants Association — create “Be Kind to Visitors” program: includes parking garage vouchers, expanded Santa Fe Shuttle routes; public restroom on Canyon Road. u Santa Fe Railyard Community Corp., Creative Santa Fe, ArtSpace — create exhibition, performance and studio facility at Railyard. u ArtSpace, Creative Santa Fe, New Mexico School for the Arts — develop “creative village” at St. Catherine Indian School. u City Finance and Auditing Departments — coordinate “program/project-based” accounting. u Utility company and city — stimulate use of renewable energy.

am a passionate candidate for the City Council seat from District 2, and the voters of Santa Fe should know why. We must choose our councilors carefully, because they get the city’s business done. As someone who has lived in Santa Fe all my life and operated my own business here for 24 years, I know the impact that city governance has on our lives. I am a new dad, and someone who comes from a family of 12 brothers and sisters, 31 nieces and nephews and 26 great-nieces and nephews. I have seen many Arellanos educated and working in Santa Fe. As a general contractor, large-scale commercial and residential landscaper, and former property manager and restaurant manager, I also know that we are not backing homegrown businesses the way we should. Joe For too long, the Arellano City Council has strayed from the responsibility to plan for development in the critical areas of housing, jobs, sustainable energy, water use, education and public welfare, and has gotten into areas that have nothing to do with managing and improving the city. The people of District 2, like me, want the City Council to focus on city issues, and I will make sure their voices are heard. Decisions about our city’s future cannot be made to favor select interests; they must be made according to a long-term plan that everyone welcomes and supports. In creating that plan, I will collect input from ordinary citizens, seasoned city workers, and business veterans who want to volunteer their ideas and expertise. The citizens I talk to want to protect and beautify the city through smart planning and care of our unique natural resources, accountable management of city investments and secure neighborhoods. The City Council has the opportunity to start afresh with new leadership, a can-do attitude, and active coordination with the Santa Fe Public Schools and scores of city nonprofit organizations that are ready to help us design new approaches to promoting the health, education and training of our talented young people. Santa Fe is one of the most beautiful, historic and walkable capital cities in the world. We must solidify this reputation and expand it by building on our strengths of tourism, natural living and native craftsmanship, and forge new ground in areas that must become our strength — education and business services that preserve the promise of our city. Joe Arrellano, candidate for the District 2 City Council seat, has competed nationally as an Olympicstyle weightlifter and owns a general contracting and landscaping business.

am a business owner, a mother and community advocate, and come from a humble background. My father was a military man, my mom a housewife — they divorced, and since the age of 13, I have been largely responsible for myself. That includes working three jobs to put myself through college. “Self-made” is a word used to describe me, as well as other words such as “self-sufficient,” “straightforward” and “smart.” When I was asked to run for City Council, my immediate reply was “yes,” and my answer was motivated by ideals of public service. It is a great honor to have the chance to serve Santa Fe. My passion is to be elected to work for you, and bring progress and economic growth to the community we love. This “call to serve” has been Mary with me for years; Bonney as past president of a local nonprofit and longtime member of the city’s Occupancy Tax Advisory Board, plus numerous volunteer activities with the schools and local organizations, I am inspired to be an advocate for moving Santa Fe into the future. I will utilize my experience and passion to bring new ideas and solutions to the important issues facing Santa Fe. I will work hard for the thoughtful preservation and promotion of our great city while improving employment opportunities, improving our public schools and addressing our urgent need to conserve water. My top priority will be jobs, Santa Fe’s long-range sustainability and an open and honest city government. As a gallery owner, I understand the role tourism plays in our local economy, and as a mother, I see the needs of our public schools and I appreciate that my role of councilor will face many identified urgent needs as well as many issues unforeseen today. My work and life experience will serve Santa Fe well in addressing emerging issues with a common sense that only real-world experience can provide. I am here for you, as your representative and connection to government, to move Santa Fe toward the future. Our ideas, wants and concerns — as a community — are vital to our success. Like the definition of leadership — “a process in which one person can enlist the support of others in the accomplishment of a common task” — I will provide that leadership on the City Council, and I ask for your vote.

THE DRAWING BOARD THE WEEK IN CARTOONS

y name is Jeff Ethan Green and I’m a 34-yearold educator, environmentalist and community activist excited for the opportunity to serve on the Santa Fe City Council. I’m running for City Council because I care deeply about cultivating a vibrant future for all people who live, work in and visit our amazing city. Over the last couple years, I have grown increasingly concerned about the environmental, educational and economic challenges that threaten to undermine the sustainability and community health of Santa Fe. One troubling statistic sums up my worry: Santa Fe’s high school dropout rate (39 percent) is more than four times higher than our recycling rate (9 percent). Unless we reverse these alarming Jeff numbers and E. Green make improving educational and environmental performance our top priorities, how can we be confident in a better future for inhabitants of the City Different? Meanwhile, we face the interconnected crisis of climate change, drought, water scarcity and unsustainable energy dependence on polluting and non-renewable fossil fuels. Santa Fe remains constrained by a corporate stranglehold on the energy infrastructure that has limited our enormous solar potential to less than 1 percent of the power market. Our per capita water usage is good by national standards, yet has not improved since 2005. And catastrophic fire annually threatens to devastate our watershed. Much more must be done to ramp up Santa Fe’s clean energy production, climate adaptation, water conservation and watershed protection. (Specific plans are detailed on my website, www. jeffegreen2014.com.) To help solve the problems in our schools, my platform includes: u Launching a city scholarship program for local high school graduates to attend a local college. This would provide an incentive for students to graduate and help keep talented youth in the community. u Funding a GED liaison office to proactively reach out to dropouts, connect them to available and needed services, encourage them to return to education and prevent them from “falling through the cracks” to a life of drug addiction, crime and jail. u Mobilizing the strength of public-private partnerships, philanthropy, nonprofit community organizations and city resources to stem the crisis of youth homelessness. u Collaborating closely with Santa Fe Public Schools to identify additional opportunities for city leadership. By bringing the community together for innovative and proven progressive ideas, I will be a forward-thinking catalyst on the City Council for holistic solutions to address our serious challenges. Thank you for your informed engagement and active participation in moving Santa Fe forward. Jeff E. Green, candidate for District 2, was honored as a 2013 Sustainable Santa Fe Award recipient for his environmental advocacy.

was born in Santa Fe and raised in a family of six kids on a small farm in the historic community of Santa Cruz in northern Santa Fe County. I learned the values of fairness, hard work and giving back. My father was a science teacher and small-business owner, and my mother was a homemaker. I also learned the importance of a good education. I’m a proud product of our public schools. The lack of high-wage jobs forced me to seek work outside the state after I received my college degree — an experience faced by many graduates today. In 1996, I returned to New Mexico. Today, I’m a supervisory civil engineer with the Bureau of Reclamation. I have almost 40 years of public service — 30 years in federal civil service and 10 years as a local elected Joseph M. official. I’ve served Maestas on many nonprofit boards, such as New Mexico Voices for Children and Conservation Voters of New Mexico. Santa Fe has much we value that is worth protecting — our natural resources and way of life. We also face serious challenges. Our first challenge is the absence of a diversified economy. We must attract high-wage jobs necessary to keep pace with the high cost of living. We win when we attract emerging industries in the green, technology and knowledge-based sectors and leverage opportunities through our creative arts, business incubator and existing business parks. To help do this, we need to build the proposed Santa Fe e-Cequia Project — a $10 million, communitywide, fiber optic backbone that would provide high-speed broadband to key community institutions and potentially extend coverage to thousands who don’t have Internet access. Another challenge facing our community is our limited water supply, which is impacted by climate change. The most recent regional water plan estimates a supply gap of 30 percent of our sub-basin’s 2060 demand. While there is always more we can do to conserve water, this gap cannot be filled solely through conservation and growth management. My plan is to acquire additional water rights and build the infrastructure necessary to use the water. Also, the time has come to usher in a “new frontier” in water management through strategies such as aquifer storage and wastewater reuse. As a husband and father, I care deeply for our community and hope to put my experience to service to help make Santa Fe the best place to live, work and raise a family as the next city councilor for District 2. Joseph Maestas, an engineer, is a candidate for the District 2 seat on Santa Fe City Council.

MY VIEW: JAMES KOCH

Dems big enough for differing views

A

s a former chairman of the New Mexico Democratic Party, I want to join with Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez and voice my deep concern regarding the recent remarks of the current Democratic Party chairman threatening New Mexico Sen. John Arthur Smith. Sen. Smith has been a major voice in New Mexico politics for well over 20 years. He was first elected to the New Mexico Senate in 1988. While I served as chairman of the party, Smith was our nominee for the Congress in the 2nd Congressional District. Although he lost, he ran a fair and honest campaign and represented the Democratic Party with distinction. The Democratic Party has long stood as a “big tent” party, accepting members from all regions of the state even though some held very differing views on particular

issues. We are bound together by our love of the state and our willingness to vote our convictions even when they may differ from others within our own party. I do not think we should threaten to “primary” our own senators based on one vote. The current state chairman was totally out of line and did not speak on behalf of rankand-file Democrats. We must be careful to never exclude our friends from the southern and eastern parts of the state from having a seat at our table. We should always provide opportunities to hear their concerns and respond to their questions. Too often we see today an atmosphere of ideological purity forced on all our elected officials, which has resulted in a period of total dysfunction in Washington, D.C.,

unlike any other time in our history as a nation. Each vote brings out louder and louder threats from both extremes challenging the integrity of the guilty party. We do not need that to happen in New Mexico. We are after all, New Mexicans first. Our citizen Legislature is a hallmark of our unique history. Do we really want milliondollar campaigns and party bosses calling the shots to become the norm to elect or defeat our representatives? I, for one, think not. I hope the Democratic chairman remembers what made our party strong across the state from Lordsburg to Hobbs and Farmington to Las Cruces. I have a hint: It was not by calling out our own.

A Message from Bill Dimas In today’s message, I would like to share with you some initiatives I would advocate as your Mayor over the next 4 years. Affordable Housing The City of Santa Fe has established strong and productive partnerships with affordable housing providers such as Homewise and the Affordable Housing Trust. Over the years, these programs have provided hundreds of young families with home ownership opportunities. Our model is considered to be one of the most successful programs of its kind in the nation. As your Mayor, I would ask the Governing Body to modify our current model so that a fair amount of these affordable housing dollars are allocated for teachers, nurses, police officers and firefighters. They form the backbone of a safe, healthy and sustainable community. I believe they need to enjoy home ownership in the community they work in instead of commuting to their jobs from Rio Rancho, Albuquerque or elsewhere. Education I want to develop an education plan for Santa Fe’s at-risk youth. This program would provide another educational option by offering at-risk youths an opportunity for them to enroll in a trades focused education in the construction industry. I recognize that a college degree is not the only avenue for many of us as a path to a secure future. Let’s provide opportunities to train electricians, plumbers, painters, and carpenters by creating a well trained, well paid workforce for tomorrow’s generation of builders. We will establish strong partnerships with businesses in the local home building “Bringing Our Community Together” industry, trade unions, our schools, SFCC, and the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association. Mentoring, internships and job placement are essential to the success of this program. Sustainability I would work to garner Governing Body and public support to re-direct Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funding from lesser priority projects to more sustainable “green” projects that utilize alternative energy systems such a solar, wind and biomass. This initiative would require that all new public facilities achieve LEED (Leadership and Energy Efficient Design) status to either the gold or platinum standard. Achieving these standards ensures the highest level of energy efficiency and minimal impact on the environment resulting in lower costs for operation and maintenance.

E-cigarettes: A toxic smokescreen? E

lectronic cigarettes (e-cigs, commonly referred to as e-cigarettes) have been in the news lately and controversy swirls around their use and regulation. E-cigs have been marketed as a “safe” alternative to cigarettes because they do not burn tobacco. However, they do contain nicotine, a highly addictive and toxic chemical (although some are marketed as being nicotine-free). Here in Santa Fe, two proposed e-cigarette ordinances were recently approved by the Finance Committee and there will be a public hearing and City Council vote on the ordinances Feb. 12. The ordinances deal with the sale of e-cigs to minors and inclusion of e-cigs in the current smoke-free ordinance. What are e-cigs? Briefly, they are battery-operated devices that use an atomizer to heat a refillable cartridge that releases a chemical-filled vapor. E-cigs are similar to conventional cigarettes in terms of shape and size. Users of e-cigs exhale the vapor and hence the term “vaping” is used to describe the

activity. E-cig cartridges contain nicotine (at various levels; generally up to 20 milligrams nicotine) and are sold containing James Bond different flavors (that can appeal to youth) such as cherry, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, fruit punch, etc. Are e-cigs truly a “safe” alternative to conventional cigarettes? There are currently no scientific data establishing the safety of e-cigs and to date, no data on the safety of e-cigs have been submitted to the FDA for evaluation. But, let’s be clear, in the absence of safety data, we cannot simply assume that e-cigs are safe. What we do know is that there have been published studies of detectable levels of carcinogens and toxic chemicals in e-cig vapor or liquid. These chemicals include toxins such as heavy metals, silicate, nanoparticles, nitrosamines, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. To be sure, the levels are lower

than those found in tobacco smoke. However, upon repeated and prolonged exposure even low levels may result in adverse health effects, including adverse effects on lung function. And, as noted above, nicotine, a toxic and addictive chemical, is present in the vapor as well. Finally, no scientific studies support the contention that e-cigs can be used as a smoking cessation tool. Should the Santa Fe City Council adopt the proposed ordinance to ban the sale of e-cigs to minors? The answer to that question is a straightforward yes. It makes common sense to prevent minors from purchasing potentially addictive and toxic items. Nicotine addiction, as any long-term tobacco user will attest, makes it very difficult to quit smoking. Further, use of e-cigs may lead minors to take up tobacco

Should the Santa Fe City Council adopt the proposed ordinance to ban the sale of e-cigs to minors? … It makes common sense to prevent minors from purchasing potentially addictive and toxic items. smoking (e-cigs are sometimes referred to as a gateway for cigarettes). Santa Fe should join the 20-plus states that regulate the sale of e-cigs to minors. Should the City Council adapt the proposed ordinance to include e-cigs in the current smoke-free ordinance? I would strongly urge that the ordinance be approved. Given the documented presence of a wide array of toxic and carcinogenic chemi-

cals in the exhaled vapor, and the absence of data to demonstrate safety, including e-cigs in the current ordinance would be the most prudent course of action.

South Pole

Saturday, February 8 at 5 pm Each year, people from all over the world leave their homes to work on science stations throughout the Antarctic continent. During the Antarctic summer, thousands work at the three American Stations and numerous field camps. Many are scientists. However, most are janitors, cooks, dishwashers, electricians, mechanics and a variety of other personnel hired to support scientific studies in Antarctica. For the past seven winters, Laura Conchelos, an American who hails from Canada, was employed as a carpenter for the United States Antarctic Program. She worked in a variety of locations, but most of her “ice time” was spent at the Amundson-Scott South Pole Station. Daily life at the station can be surprisingly normal. Some have compared it to a college dorm for older folks while others compare it to living on the moon. Whichever description is most reasonable (and it ‘s up to debate), the South Pole is an interesting place to spend time and work. Join Laura while she takes you on a tour of one of the driest, coldest and most desolate places on the planet and tries to explain what it ‘s like to live there!

Lawmakers lend ear to educators’ concerns Teacher evaluation system, testing overload among issues addressed during four-hour special session By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Teacher Cindy O’Niell believes state lawmakers will listen and act if people have a story to tell. “Stories make a difference … our stories, our kids’ stories, our parents’ stories,” she said. O’Niell was one of at least 150 educators at the Roundhouse on Saturday to address members of the House

Education Committee about a range of issues, from the state’s unpopular new teacher evaluation system to an overload of testing. The four-hour session reinforced the idea that teacher morale is at an all-time low within the state. The teacher evaluation system, in particular, has raised ire among educators, many of whom feel it places too much emphasis on students’ scores on standardized tests. Others ques-

tion the way classroom observations are handled. But that’s just one of many issues that have rankled educators in recent years, and the state has fared poorly in reports on its teaching climate. A recent Education Week Quality Counts report gave the state a C when it comes to the teaching profession, while a National Council on Teacher Quality report gave New Mexico a D-plus, noting it does a poor job of retaining effective teachers and expanding the teacher pool.

A

thick, rich winter squash and chorizo soup garnished with fried sage and maple cream took top honors Saturday at the 20th annual Souper Bowl benefit competition held at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. About 1,400 people attended the annual charity event — which raises money for The Food Depot — and cast ballots to determine which of 28 soups would be awarded honors in the categories of Best Soup, Best Cream Soup, Best Savory Soup, Best Seafood Soup and Best Vegetarian soup. “It feels great,” said Andrew Cooper, executive chef at Terra restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado, who created the brightly colored, awardwinning soup just a few days before the

event. The soup also took top prize in the Best Savory Soup category. “There are a lot of amazing chefs out there, and for me personally, [the event] is a great way to socialize with other chefs. Working in the industry, you don’t get out to eat that often to enjoy each other’s company, so when you can do that and work together for a charity, it’s fantastic,” Cooper said. Cooper is originally from New York City but worked at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai before becoming the chef at Terra about a year ago. This was the second year he competed in the Souper Bowl and the first time he won an award. El Milagro New Mexican Restaurant won Best Cream Soup for a Spicy Potato and Bacon Cream soup created by Anthony Armijo.

ALBUQUERQUE — More Mexican gray wolves live in the wild in the Southwest now than at any time since the federal government began reintroducing the endangered predator in the region, officials said Friday. An annual survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service showed at least 83 wolves are spread among forested lands in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. The population is nearly double what it was in 2009. Last year, when the animals made their biggest stride, the survey turned up at least 75 wolves. Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Director Benjamin Tuggle said he was still concerned the program faces hurdles, but he believes biologists have worked out a formula for managing the wolves that is starting to show dividends. Tuggle attributed the population increase to what scientists and managers have learned about the wolves since reintroduction began in 1998. “Whether we want to admit it or not, this is an experimental population, and the wolves are teaching us as much as we’re trying to manage them,” he said. “We are taking advantage of the knowledge that we’ve had in terms of trying to focus on things like wild-born pups and making sure that we keep an eye on the genetics.” A subspecies of the gray wolf, the Mexican wolf was added to the federal endangered species list in 1976. The reintroduction effort has been hampered by politics, illegal killings and other factors. Disputes over management of the program have spurred numerous legal actions by environmentalists who have pushed for more wolves to be released and by ranchers who

Loss of federal funding puts many preservation projects in jeopardy By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

In brief Whiteout crash prompts lawsuit A Santa Fe woman has filed a complaint for negligence and punitive damages against a fuel refiner and distributor after one of the company’s tankers jackknifed and collided with her vehicle, dousing it with gasoline. Emma Vigil, 61, claims in her complaint that Texas-based Western Refining either didn’t have proper safety protocols or didn’t follow them when it allowed one of its employees to drive the truck in whiteout conditions Feb. 24, 2013, the day the accident occurred in the

northbound lane of U.S. 84/285 just north of Santa Fe. Vigil’s complaint, which was filed in the First District Court on Jan. 23, also names Monty Caudill, the driver of the tanker truck, as a defendant. No one at Western Refining could be reached for comment Saturday.

scored a 3 or higher on an AP exam. Martinez says 43 percent of the students achieved the score, and it is the highest percentage nationwide. She says it is the second year in a row Hispanic students in the state taking at least one AP class have ranked No. 1. The state’s low-income student population ranked second nationally for AP scores. The report shows almost half of those students who graduated in 2013 took an AP class and 40 percent of them got at least a passing score.

ALBUQUERQUE — A Western outpost made famous by the Buffalo Soldiers and the U.S. military’s campaign to capture Geronimo is up for sale, one of a number of landmarks nationwide facing the wrecking ball amid tight budgets and a shift in Washington about what history is worth saving. Abandoned now, Fort Bayard has become a drain on New Mexico’s coffers, and the state is desperate for ideas as historic preservation has lost funding under the Obama administration. “It’s not good. We see this as a much larger comment on how we as a country want to tell our story and reflect our priorities,” said Beth Wiedower, a senior field officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. With most large-scale preservation efforts, it’s not hard for the cost to outweigh sentimentalism. It’s no different in southwestern New Mexico, where the community is split over whether some of Fort Bayard’s buildings need to be leveled to make way for fresh economic development. “Some are pretty adamant about preserving the whole property, and then there are others who ask

BRANDON KEVIN STRUCK 8/30/1993 - 1/28/2014

CECILIO BENITEZ

A Spanish born theatrical director who left behind a legacy of introducing American audiences to a wide range of Spanish music, theater and dance along side his wife, internationally known Spanish and Flamenco dancer Maria Benitez, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2014 at their home in New York, after a long illness. He was 80. For four decades he was known for his technical artistry and company direction for the Maria Benitez Teatro Flamenco and co-founder of the Institute for Spanish Arts based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Born April 1, 1933 in Arenys de Mar, Barcelona, Spain to Margarita and Jesus Benitez, and a resident of New Mexico since 1967, Cecilio Benitez began his theatrical career at the age of 14 as an apprentice in the Fontalba Theatre in Madrid, Spain where he discovered his passion for Spanish theater. For the next 20 years he toured as a theatrical director with major opera, dance, theater and zarzuela companies. While in Madrid he met Maria who was training and performing professionally, they married in 1966 and relocated to Taos, New Mexico where their son Francisco was born. In 1967 his work turned to radio for KDCE in Espanola and later in 1969 relocated with Maria and there son to teach Spanish literature at Verde Valley School in Sedona, Arizona and continued to direct such plays as Blood Wedding and Casa de Bernardo Alba by Garcia Lorca, Don Juan Tenorio by Zorrrilla, and La Barca Sin Pescador by Alejandro Casona, among others. In 1973 they relocated to Santa Fe where together they founded Maria Benitez Teatro Flamenco and later founded the Institute for Spanish Arts, one of the first non-profit performing arts companies to reflect a broader commitment to the Spanish arts. He served as co-director of both organizations and has been instrumental in elevating the world of flamenco in the United States to a broad audience. With a long standing reputation for excellence, he lead the company fshistory of performances at festivals and major concert halls in all 50 states, Canada, Germany, Holland, Spain, Austria, 8 seasons at the Joyce Theater in New York City, Kennedy center, and numerous other prestigious concert halls around the United States, and thirty-eight, 12week summer seasons in Santa Fe, NM since the early 1970 ’s. From the 1960’s to the 2007 the company, renowned for his technical excellence and Maria’s exquisite artistry, presented diverse music and dance rhythms of flamenco to theatre audiences around the world. Over the years, he worked with dancers and choreographers such as Ciro (El Muro), Joaquín Ruiz (Aires de Silencio), Mario Maya (Flamencos de la Trinia and other works by Hector Zaraspe), José Greco (two tours with Maria’s company), José Molina, Luis and Juan Ortega, Antonio Granjero, Ángel Muñoz, La Tania, Adela Clara, Roberto Lorca, Manolo Rivera, Orlando Romero, Rosita Segovia, Eduardo Montero, Alejandro Granados, Victorio Korjhan, and many others. Nearing retirement in 1994 he turned his interest to the Institute for Spanish Arts. For over 45 years, his life’s work and passion have stimulated, revitalized, preserved and disseminated Spanish arts and heritage. Cecilio is the youngest of six brothers whom reside in Spain. He leaves behind his loving wife Maria Benitez, his son Francisco (Paco) Benitez and wife Anne Marcy- Benitez of Santa Fe, NM, his son Jose Maria Benitez de Sande and partner Jesus Carraminana Bustillo, Madrid, Spain, a daughter Afriquita Carrasco Benitez and husband Jose Carrasco, Madrid, Spain, grandchildren Virginia and Carlos, 2 great grandchild Marcos and Alejandro, many nieces and nephews, along with surviving brothers Emilio and Jesus.

Taste: Jambo Café takes break from event Concerns: Educators praised for attending Continued from Page C-1

“It’s one of the best potato soups I’ve ever had,” said Rob Knowlton, who was one of several people queueing up to buy the last quarts of the soup after voting ended Saturday. He described the soup as “rich, flavorful with a nice kick to it, and there is something in there that they won’t tell me. Everyone’s been talking about it.” Two of the top awards went to establishments that aren’t technically restaurants. Kingston Residence of Santa Fe, a retirement community, won Best Vegetarian soup for its chilled Roasted Poblano Pepper Piñon and Juniper Berry Soup. And the Best Seafood Soup award went to Nath’s Specialty Catering for an exotic Tom Yum seafood soup made from shrimp, mushrooms, cauliflower and tomatoes flavored with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and fresh jalapeños. “The taste was very clear,” said Nyla Rasmussen, who cast a vote for the soup Saturday. It wasn’t too heavy, it wasn’t smoked. It was just clear seafood.” Julie Kirk, a regular Souper Bowl attendee, said she felt this year’s event featured soups that were “much more creative” than in years past. She cited the deconstructed Chicken Pot Pie Chowder from Café Bon Appetite at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design as an

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large butternut squash 2 sweet potatoes 1 acorn squash 1 yellow onion, medium dice 1 carrot, medium dice 1 celery stalk, medium dice Water 1 cup heavy cream Salt and pepper 1 chorizo stick, small dice 1 bundle sage leaves fried in oil ½ cup maple whipped cream Preparation: Cut butternut squash, acorn squash in half, remove the seeds and roast with the sweet potatoes in oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until soft and tender.

Add the cooked butternut, acorn and sweet potatoes. Add enough water to cover the vegetables and continue to simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until all the vegetables have softened. Using a blender, blend all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper. If the puree is too thick, add more water. Once blended, pour back into a pot and finish with heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes and check seasonings. Garnish with diced Mexican chorizo, fried sage leaves and maple cream.

a goldfish cracker — and the Chipotle Cheddar Potato soup with chimichurri drizzle from Agave Lounge. Notably absent from this year’s competition was an entry from Jambo Café owner Ahmed Obo, who has won the coveted Best Soup award for the past four years.

“This year, we are just taking a little break, just to come out and enjoy being on the other side, the fun side,” said Obo, who attended the event to sample soups and help present awards. “I wanted to see someone else take the trophy.” In addition to sampling soups, event attendees had a chance to bid on about 200 silent auction items, ranging from designer handbags to ceramics to jewelry. Sherry Hooper, executive director of The Food Depot, said this year’s superculinary competition raised about $60,000 for the food bank, which provides goods to 135 area nonprofits, including emergency food pantries, hot meal programs, homeless shelters, youth programs and senior centers. The Food Depot distributes about 400,000 pounds of food and household products to people in need each month, according to information provided by Hooper. “We’re so grateful for such a generous and supportive community,” Hooper said in a written statement Saturday. “From the incredible generosity of our event sponsors to the hard work of participating restaurants and volunteers, The Food Depot and the thousands of hungry New Mexicans we help to feed are very fortunate!” Contact Phaedra Haywood at 986-3068 or phaywood@ sfnewmexican.com.

to protect miners and other settlers from the Apache. It was one of many outposts west of the Mississippi established by the all-black Buffalo Soldier regiments tasked with battling Native American tribes. With the capture of Geronimo in the 1880s, the Apache threat subsided and the fort transitioned to a research center and hospital for tuberculosis patients. During World War II, it was home to German prisoners of war. The state estimates the 145,000-square-foot hospital costs about $100,000 annually to maintain. The officers’ quarters, historic theater and other buildings also are in need of repair. “We understand that right now, it may not look as if it’s got any real dollar value to the state, but it definitely has some historical significance,” said Scott Terry, head of the Silver City/Grant County Chamber of Commerce. A study commissioned by the state includes a long list of opportunities for Fort Bayard: a treatment center for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, a workforce development center, a business

and industrial park and mixed housing. Others have suggested it as a place for homeless veterans, a private military academy and even a ghost hunting hot spot. State officials know the challenges of trying to sell a campus as complex as Fort Bayard, with its rich history and more than 400 acres. Aside from the tens of millions of dollars it would take to bring Fort Bayard’s buildings up to code, there’s the location. “We’re not kind of off the beaten path. We are off the beaten path,” Terry said of Silver City, a town of about 11,000. Fort Bayard is not alone when it comes to remoteness. Other historic properties in rural areas of Colorado and South Dakota are on the chopping block, but experts say finding new uses can result in an economic boon for communities that are struggling to attract new businesses and jobs. “It’s not just about saving a historic place or a landscape for the sake of saving it. It’s very important to tell our story and to connect with our past,” Wiedower said.

Wolf: Officials worry about genetic diversity Continued from Page C-1 are concerned about their livelihoods and safety in rural communities. Despite the increase in wolf numbers, federal wildlife officials are still concerned about ensuring genetic diversity.

Inbreeding can cause a number of problems, including low survivability among pups. The latest survey shows seven of the 14 packs that were documented last year produced pups, 17 of which survived through the end of the year. Tuggle said wild-born pups

seem to have what it takes to survive in the wild and avoid problems with human interaction. Some environmentalists were disappointed in the latest population figures, saying the agency needs to release more than just a couple of new

wolves every year if it wants to boost the gene pool. Still, Arizona Game and Fish Assistant Director Jim deVos said the recovery program that some had deemed a failure now stands to serve as an example of conservation success if the population gains continue.

Funeral services and memorials LAURA JEAN WARREN Died in Santa Fe on Sunday, January 26, 2014. She was preceded in death by Mary Briault, her close friend, confidante and business partner, Harriet MacDowell, her friend and mentor for many years, her parents A. Lucille Simmons and Raymond Warren and her older brothers Robert, Kenneth and Bruce. Laura was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She attended University of Wisconsin and UC Berkeley studying Theatre, Comparative Literature and Education. She held an undergraduate degree as well as two master’s degrees. Her avid pursuit of theatre took her to Germany where she was employed as a civilian for the USO and lived for many years. After her USO experience, she moved to London to study acting at the Royal Academy of Drama. When she returned to the States, she settled in Chicago and taught Drama, first through twelfth grade, at Francis W. Parker School. After her time at Parker, she helped found the Louise DeKoven Bowen Center on the North side of Chicago and was the head teacher there for four years. She supervised programs that taught life skills to a group severely emotionally-disturbed elementary school-age boys. Her work was recognized by the Department of Education in Washington D.C. During her school vacations at Francis W. Parker School and the Bowen Center, she was the Director of a Girl Scout summer camp for the Detroit Council for 10 years. She first moved to New Mexico in the late seventies and taught fifth grade in Alamogordo, NM., taught both 5th and 6th grade for several years at Sandia Prep in Albuquerque then returned to Chicago to once again teach Theatre at Francis Parker. She re-settled in New Mexico in 1976, to co-found the Corrales Inn Restaurant and Bed and Breakfast. At the Inn, Laura played host, counselor and friend to all who entered, setting the bar for hospitality. While living and working in Corrales, she served one term as the Mayor. Laura retired and moved to Santa Fe in 1995, where she volunteered with HIV patients and taught English as a second language, pursued her lifelong love of reading, tended her garden, enjoyed movies, theatre and good food. She traveled extensively. Laura once said that the obligation of theater and movies is to enlighten and teach us through the exploration of relationships. Making those lessons our own, we in turn are obliged to enlighten the world. Laura did just that, enlightening an enormous circle of people with her unbridled enthusiasm, care and conviction. The family requests that those who wish to honor Laura make donations to: Think New Mexico 1227 Paseo de Peralta Santa Fe, NM 87501 www.thinknewmexico.org or Jambo Kids Foundation 1704-B Llano Street #200 Santa Fe, NM 87505 JamboKids.org Laura requested no memorial service.

Weddings & engagements DeAguero/ Martinez Keyana DeAguero of Santa Fe, the daughter of Gilbert and Ada DeAguero of Española, and Matthew Martinez of Santa Fe, the son of Ascencion and Dolores Martinez of Española, announce their engagement. The couple will wed in the fall of 2014. He proposed to Keyana in Miami, Fla., on Oct. 30, 2013, after six years of dating. The bride attended Española Valley High School and The University of New Mexico. The groom attended Española Valley High School and New Mexico Highlands University. Matt told his friends and family about his plan to propose to Keyana — and they kept it a secret for almost six months. He asked her father’s permission to marry her, but did not tell her mother until right before they left for Florida. Friends of the couple — Juan and Tania — accompanied the couple on the trip. Matt took Keyana to watch the Miami Heat play the Chicago Bulls the night before

When the cameras were in focus, Matt dropped to one knee — pulled out a ring and asked Keyana to marry him. The event was captured in photos — including the surprised, delighted and joyful face of Keyana — and Matt.

Faces & places Yvonne Reins, a longtime principal of Larragoite Elementary School in Santa Fe, was named in January as one of Florida’s Yvonne Reins Elite Principals for 2014 by the nonprofit Florida TaxWatch Center for Educational Performance & Accountability and the Learning Systems Institute at Florida State University. Reins is the principal of Rodney B. Cox Elementary School in Dade City. According to a news release from Florida TaxWatch, six top-performing principals in Florida’s highest-risk public schools were recognized by the organization for their students’ achievement gains in reading and mathematics. Each honoree received a $5,000 award. Additionally, the honorees will be part of a study to identify a principal’s role in recruiting, retaining and developing top teachers. The news release said the nonprofit based the awards solely on student achievement data from the Florida Department of Education. In an email, Reins said she was a teacher at Santa Fe Public Schools for 11 years, and then served for 14 years as principal at Larragoite, which has since shut down. Her late father also was a principal at Larragoite, she said, and her mother is retired from a long career as a bilingual teacher with the local district. Reins said that since moving to Florida, she has been a principal for nine years with the Pasco County Schools near Tampa.

YOUR NEIGHBORS: JOSE ‘CHUSCALES’ VALLE FAJARDO

Cave of creativity

Flamenco guitarist found passion for music in family’s hilltop dwelling The New Mexican

J

ose “Chuscales” Valle Fajardo grew up in a time of turmoil for Gypsies in Spain. The country was ruled by Francisco Franco, a Spanish military leader in power from 1939 to 1975, who persecuted Gypsies, also known as Roma. But Fajardo and his family were able dodge Franco’s harassment. They felt safe at their home in Granada, built into a cave, which was customary for Gypsies during that time. And it was in that home full of extended family where Fajardo, at the age of 6, picked up a guitar and learned to play during lessons from uncles and other local guitarists who lived or performed in the area. The family’s cave, in the hilltop neighborhood of Sacramonte that now serves as a tourist attraction, is where he gained not only his musical knowledge, but most of his education. Fajardo, 57, a renowned flamenco guitarist, has lived in Santa Fe for the past 13 years and plays frequently at local hotels and restaurants. Sometimes he’s accompanied by his wife, Mina, a flamenco dancer, and the couple’s four children. His nickname, Chuscales, is a word in Spanish Caló, a language spoken by Gypsies, which means “the crunchy part of a loaf of bread.” When Fajardo was a boy, he said, his grandfather saw him taking some bread from the oven and called him “chusco,” short for chuscales. Since then, friends and family have called him “Chuscales,” which he also uses as his stage name. Before Fajardo picked up the guitar, there was a short phase in his childhood when he wanted to be a bullfighter. He even had a custom-made matador outfit, he said. His father was a bullfighting enthusiast who had befriended many matadors. But once he began learning to play the guitar, he took his lessons seriously. Still, he describes that time in his life as

more of a party. “People would show up [at the cave] in the morning and stay into the night,” he said in Spanish. “They would come dancing and drinking whiskey or wine, and there was food, too. It was there where I learned [to play the guitar]. In that room, there was two guitarists, two dancers and two singers, and everyone would be smoking, drinking and all closed up, because the cave didn’t have any windows.” Fajardo began dedicating all his time to the guitar at age 12, when he dropped out of school. During his grade-school years, he said, teachers were strict and would discipline students by hitting them with rulers. His teacher wouldn’t even allow him to use the restroom, he said, and one time he wet himself in class. His teacher punished him with a whack of the ruler on his hands. So the next time he needed to use the restroom and wasn’t permitted, he said, he got up and ran to his house. “My dad saw me coming into the house and asked me why I wasn’t in school,” he said. “I told him, ‘Because I don’t want to pee on myself again.’ ”

tinuing his trend of directing films with connections to literature, he just completed directing a biography about the younger years of skid row poet and writer Charles Bukowski and is currently working on another Faulkner adaptation. Maybe after all that he’ll take on McCarthy’s Blood Meridian for good measure.

His father gave him an option of leaving school but said he had to pick up the guitar and practice every day. Fajardo said he never went back to school. “Every day, we would learn from each other,” he said. By his 20s, Fajardo was on concert tours, traveling across the world with flamenco groups. He played in countries across Europe and Canada, where he lived for 10 years while he played with a troupe. About 16 years ago, Fajardo went to a flamenco show in New York, where Mina, a renowned dancer, was performing. After the show, he said, they both attended a party, and a year later they were married. Mina Fajardo was born in Japan, where she worked as a nurse while she studied dancing. After they married, the couple lived in New York for a few years and then decided to move to Santa Fe, just months before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Fajardo said he had always liked Santa Fe and had made friends here whenever he came to town with the dance company from Canada. Now, with four children to raise, he said, the couple have little time to go on tours. “Before, I would be able to practice from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.,” he said. “Now I can barely can get 10 minutes in.” His children, three boys and one girl, also perform in his shows. And much like his family’s cave in Spain, his garage has become the family’s studio, where they practice together and prepare for performances. “A lot of people don’t have my luck to grow up in the caves, learning flamenco in a Gypsy family where the music comes from tradition to tradition, from legend to legend,” Fajardo says in a biography on his website. “I thank God I have been around such great musicians all my life.” Contact Uriel J.

large part of the curriculum I teach as an etiquette consultant includes introduction skills. One of those skills is the handshake. Children love practicing the handshake because it feels very grown-up and allows them to exaggerate the limp “dead fish” and the aggressive “shoulder dislocater,” along with a bone-crushing grip. In generalized American culture (and I say generalized because individual cultures have their own traditional greetings), the students and I find a grip and shake that is just right — firm and brief with a few pumps of the arm. With my corporate clients, the lesson is not as animated, but Bizia Greene the content is the same. A proper Etiquette Rules! handshake isn’t just a formality. The grip and shake itself conveys many things. The handshake is an icebreaker, a signal of friendship and professionalism, a sign of respect, and in some cases, it seals the deal. My clients are taught to adapt to a variety of handshake scenarios, like when someone has an injury, physical condition or a cold, and are taught other cultural greetings for times when touching hands would be inappropriate. As etiquette must adapt with the times, one gesture I will be adding to the repertoire is the fist bump. A Los Angeles Times article last month, “Handshakes are germ bombs — embrace the fist bump!” extolls the virtues of germ-free fist bumps — when two people bump fists rather than handshake. Its reasoning? “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 80% of all infections are transmitted by hands. That leads some to say that, in addition to encouraging frequent hand washing, we should forgo handshakes in favor of fist bumps.” And just like a virus, the topic is spreading. There’s a website called stophandshaking.com and a detailed article in The Atlantic called “The Fist Bump Manifesto.” A greeting going back to Babylon (an open right hand free of weapons meant you came in peace), the handshake is being replaced by something I find so casual, almost sporty, because we don’t wash our hands properly. And what is properly? Singing the alphabet song — twice! — that’s the time you should spend sudsing at the sink. But it is impossible to shield ourselves every minute of every day as we touch door handles, appliances and the jug of cream at our favourite coffee shop. So how will this new phenomenon be received nationally and globally? It’s a delicate situation that’s in transition. The stalwarts will likely stay the old hand, while the young hipsters won’t bat a Google Glass. The 18th edition of Emily Post — Manners for a New World suggests if you extend your hand and the gesture is not reciprocated, just lower your hand and move on from any awkwardness. You can bow your head slightly and exchange pleasantries. If you choose not to reciprocate, you can offer your fist bump and see if the other party reciprocates. If you are simply a hands-off greeter, giving a reason lets the person know that it is not meant as an insult. “I’m trying to avoid cold and flu season, but I’m very happy to meet you” is about as honest as it gets. On the flip-side, if you are meeting your CEO/ boss/future in-laws/investor and they extend their hand, it would behoove you to reciprocate as a sign of respect and, when the moment presents itself, go wash your hands or use a hand santizer — albeit very discreetly. Ironically — and just in time for Valentine’s Day, puckering up might keep you even healthier this season. According to an article in London’s Daily Mail, the continental-style peck on the cheek is far more hygienic than the familiar handshake, health experts say. “A quick air kiss — or two — somewhere in the cheek region is a relatively germ-free affair.” Experts are agreed that the French air-kiss that avoids contact altogether is best. While my curriculum gets a helping hand, the constant is that we all gain the upper hand meeting and greeting new and old alike — one shake, bump or kiss at a time.

Why Dogs Can’t Dance Perhaps you‚ve wondered, as have I, my son — Why dogs, tho‚ lithe and nimble at first glance, Tho‚ fleet and sleek and graceful when they run And yet, when tasked to do so, cannot dance? It”s quite a strange conundrum, my Gene dear boy: Weingarten A noble beast (in most ways lacking The Washington faults) Post With zest for life and ever filled with joy, And still, inept when asked to dance a waltz! What deficit of theirs impedes this skill? What might we have that dogs, alas, have not? — Or maybe it is what we lack that will Explain why dogs can’t master the gavotte? I think, my son, I‚ve found an answer sweet: All dogs, you see, are curs‚d with two left feet. The Talking Brassiere Not long ago there was a talking bra Who did not speak with any other clothes For most of them lacked ears (and also jaw) And so in the main, ’twas silence the bra chose. One day, it’s said, the bra discovered that There was a closet filled with garments sleek And one of them, a fine and shiny hat With ears to hear what words the bra might speak! The bra attempted to some words compose She wished to say things smart and wise and clear Alas, she knew but what a garment knows Which limited her lines a bit, I fear. So in the end, just this was what she said: “I’ll give these two a lift, while you go on a head.” How Many Freudians ... ? A group of men who follow Sigmund Freud Engaged were they in long and fierce debate Upon an issue odd, their brains employed To solve a problem of no minor weight. In plotting out a task they could foresee — the sort we all must do, and no one dreads — How many of their group would need there be To screw a light bulb in above their heads? They pondered this awhile, with to and fro Till in the end they all would quite agree The number that was needed, they did know Wasn’t one, or two, but clearly three: “Just one to hold the bulb, but, no small matter — Two more to hold the penis ... we mean, ladder.”

Blown away

NMAA barred Najar after he transferred from Mora to Las Vegas, N.M.

By Rob Parker The Shadow League

t’s hard not to think this year’s Super Bowl isn’t all about Peyton Manning. After all, it appeared Manning, a quarterback machine like never seen before, was all but done a few years ago after neck surgery, a missed season and getting dumped by the Indianapolis Colts. Heck, even his brother, New York Giants’ quarterback Eli Manning, thought his career was done, too. But here’s Peyton Manning, at Exit 16W off the New Jersey Turnpike, playing in the first cold-weather Super Bowl in NFL history. And make no mistake. All the chips are in. This is a Floyd Mayweather bet, big and confident. There’s no do-over, licking wounds and saying maybe next year. Manning, now the Denver Broncos’ Messiah, has a chance on Sunday at MetLife Stadium to do what most never thought possible: tie his remarkable career in a bow. Better yet, silence all his postseason critics and cement his legacy as one of the best quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen. There’s just one small problem.

Cody Najar just wants to play basketball. All it took was a court injunction for it to happen. So the past 10 days have been a welcome reprieve from a whirlpool of confusion, frustration and inactivity for the West Las Vegas senior. Thanks to a temporary restraining order issued by 4th District Court judge Matthew Sandoval on Jan. 22 against the New Mexico Activities Association, Najar went from being a West Las Vegas team manager to a key member of the basketball team — one that sits atop the District 2AAA standings at 4-0 after a 72-43 win over Pojoaque Valley on Friday night. Najar started for the first time against the Elks, something that hadn’t happened since the firstround game of the Class AA State Tournament when he played for the Mora Rangers, for whom he was an All-District 2AA first-team member. The order occurred after the NMAA had denied Najar’s appeal four times for a transfer-rule hardship petition to play at West Las Vegas. It was the culmination of two months of appeal hearings — and rejections from the NMAA and the Public Education Department — as Najar and West Las Vegas argued for an exception after he and his mother, Kristine Najar, moved from Mora to Las Vegas, N.M., in October, just a month before the basketball season started. The complaint for a temporary restraining order filed on behalf of Kristine Najar and James Martinez, Cody Najar’s godfather and emergency guardian, on Jan. 21 spells out

Rumors circulate that Martinez is on paid leave By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

The rumor mill once again circulated through the Española Valley boys basketball program, but does this one have merit? Española Valley Principal Hoyt Mutz declined to comment on the status of Española head coach Richard Martinez on Saturday, citing it was a personnel matter. That came on the heels of rumors that circulated on Saturday that Martinez was on paid administrative leave. When contacted by The New Mexican on Saturday, Martinez neither confirmed or denied those rumors, saying he has not spoken with Mutz. “I haven’t seen him, so I haven’t heard anything yet,” Martinez said. “Maybe I’ll hear something on Monday morning, but right now, I’m ready to go.” While many other rumors in recent weeks that Martinez was fired have been proven false, this is the

His first practice was Friday, the same day in which he had an extensive checkup with the team’s medical staff. “It was kind of a calculated thing that we were doing with him,” Neal said. “Everything worked out. You don’t lose your starting spot by injury.” Kirk’s replacement had been 7-footer Obij Aget. The freshman started the last two games and still got 14 minutes in Saturday’s game.

PREP ROUNDUP

Blue Griffins top Peñasco with 4 players The New Mexican

The Santa Fe Preparatory girls basketball team started with six players. Then they had five. And somehow, the Blue Griffins won a District 2AA game against Peñasco with just four players on the court for a 50-45 road win. Prep (9-9 overall, 1-1 2AA) was missing two players who had other obligations, so S.F. Prep 50 that meant its depth Peñasco 45 was razor thin. It was gone by the third quarter when Bianca Gonzales fouled out. In the fourth quarter, the Blue Griffins rallied from a 34-31 deficit to take a seven-point lead when Gressia Burrola committed her fifth foul. Anika Amon, Prep head coach, adjusted her defense to guard Lady Panthers guard Shannon Medina with a player who had no fouls while trying to protect two others who had four. “Shannon is the only one that really drives,” Amon said. “So once we squashed that, they just started shooting from the outside, which just helped us. They showed a lot of heart in that fourth quarter, which seemed to last a very long time.” Alexis Mundt had 11 points for the Blue Griffins, while Alex Archuleta added 10. Charlyna Gonzales had 19 points for Peñasco, and Medina added 10.

PECOS 51, MONTE DEL SOL 35 Cassie CdeBaca didn’t lead her team in scoring, but her 12 steals helped ignite a 2AA win for the Lady Panthers in Christina Life Academy. CdeBaca can usually pick up a lot of steals, but Pecos (7-12, 2-0) couldn’t capitalize on them at first as the Lady Dragons led 8-6 at the end of the first quarter. “We’re accustomed to it because of her effort,” Pecos head coach Leroy Barela said. “But we couldn’t convert any of those steals. We always start out slow here.” The Lady Panthers outscored Monte del Sol 45-27 the rest of the way. Katelyn Flores had 12 points to lead Pecos, while Alicia Roybal had 12 points for the Lady Dragons (8-9, 0-2). SANTA FE HIGH 68, BERNALILLO 42 The host Lady Spartans had no answer for the Demonettes’ full-court press as Santa Fe High cruised to another 2AAAA win. Kayla Herrera led Santa Fe High with 17 points while seniors Jackie Martinez and Andrea Gonzales each scored 13. Deana Lopez had 10 points to lead Bernalillo. The Demonettes (19-1, 3-0) have now won 18 straight games. LOS ALAMOS 68, CAPITAL 30 McKenzie Logan scored 13 points to lead the Lady Hilltoppers (10-11, 2-2) over the Lady Jaguars in a 2AAAA game in Edward A. Ortiz Memorial Gymnasium. Logan was helped out by Shannon Doyle’s 12 points as well as the rest of the Los Alamos bench, who all scored on Saturday.

Selena Gonzales and Julie Gandara had 11 points to lead Capital (1-18, 0-3).

MCCURDY 61, ESTANCIA 51 The Bobcats (13-8) finally were healthy, and they took control of a nondistrict game in Memorial Gymnasium with a 16-9 scoring outburst in the third quarter for a 41-33 lead. McCurdy head coach Ruben Archuleta said he took away the high post from the Bears, which short-circuited their offense. “They were just hitting from the high post,” Archuleta said. “We just pulled up our defense and took that away. Then we started pressing and getting easy baskets in transition.” Daniel Arroyo came back from an injury to score 19 points for McCurdy, while Isaiah Vigil and David Sanchez each had 10.

The complaint revealed rejection letters by the NMAA when the petition went before the hardship committee, an NMAA appeals committee and the NMAA Board of Directors. The decision was appealed to the Public Education Department, but it sided with the NMAA in late December. “We never stopped,” Parsons said. “We filed on behalf of Cody, and that was to advocate for the student. This poor kid went through a divorce, which I know is hard to begin with, and of course, he comes to a head with this issue.” Just when it seemed the issue was dead, a new argument presented itself. uuu

After Kristine Najar went to Pojoaque, she applied for homeless status for Cody Najar through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act, a federal law that ensures immediate enrollment and educational stability for homeless children and youth. The complaint states Elaine Gonzales, the school district’s consolidated federal programs director, said Cody Najar met the act’s provisions and requirements. The act requires school districts to allow qualified students to attend classes and other academic activities, as well as participate in extracurricular activities. West Las Vegas filed another appeal with the NMAA hardship committee on the basis of the McKinney-Vento Act, but it was denied on Jan. 14. Parsons said West Las Vegas officials did not know if they would appeal the decision, since it likely would take up the rest of the basketball season. That was when Najar reached

out to the coaching staff at Mora, indicating he wanted to return to the school. Branch said he told Mora athletic director Ray Maestas about it, and he conferred with NMAA officials, who said Cody Najar could play at Mora. A meeting was set at Sen. Joseph Montoya Gymnasium on Jan. 16, but Najar never appeared. “We were pretty angry with him,” Mora senior guard Jeremiah Olivas said. “I haven’t heard anything from him since.” The reason became clear five days later, when the restraining order was filed, arguing that the NMAA’s decisions were “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable” and that they were causing “irreparable harm and injury” to Cody Najar in terms of losing potential scholarships and other educational opportunities. The next day, Sandoval issued a restraining order against the NMAA. Parsons said he contacted NMAA Executive Director Sally Marquez, emphasizing that the family initiated the complaint. “I said, ‘the judge says allow him to play immediately,’ ” Parsons said. “And she said, ‘We are not going to violate [the restraining order] either. I’m not a legal beagle, and I’m not going to go against any judge.” The NMAA, though, responded to the order Tuesday. Attorney Mark Geiger filed a response, claiming the Najars “wrongly failed to provide notice to the Defendants [sic] or their counsel before obtaining the TRO” and that they failed to “exhaust administrative remedies.” uuu

Najar played in his first game in 10 months against Raton on Jan. 23, scoring 11 points in a 90-50 win. That was the same point total against Las Vegas Robertson and Taos before a five-point effort against Pojoaque. Bustos says, while the points are nice, what’s better is what he sees on Najar’s face. “From my standpoint, it’s nice to see a smile on his face,” Bustos said. “He looked so depressed for a long time. I’m happy for him, and I hope he’ll be allowed to play.”

Lobos: UNM never trailed Spartans Continued from Page D-1 San Jose State (6-16, 0-10). All but two players on the 14-man roster checked in. UNM opened a 17-3 lead just seven minutes into the game and, after the Spartans got within six midway through the first half, the Lobos regained their composure and steadily pulled away. They led by as many as 29 in the second half. Kirk was on the floor for the first five minutes of the game, then sat for 10 before coming back in. The entire design, Neal said, was to keep his big man fresh without putting too much stress on that leg. Afterward Kirk said it was not shin splints and wasn’t a break, but said it was pain that led doctors to suggest that he was on the verge of suffering microfractures in his left shin. “It’s been a while and I’ll just leave it at that,” Kirk said, declining to elaborate on when he first felt pain and what, exactly, went wrong. Still, there was no denying his impact on Saturday’s game. Against an SJSU roster that is among the nation’s best at draining 3-point shots — and for good reason given the Spartans’ lack of an inside presence and ability to drive the lane with slashing guards — Kirk and Bairstow were tough to stop in the low post. Both went 6-for-11 from the floor, combining for 27 points and 11 rebounds. The only other Lobo in double figures was guard Kendall Williams with 11 points. Kirk’s insertion in the low post also helped stabilize the offense. The Lobos turned the ball over just three times while dishing 20 assists. Neal described Kirk’s body language as “spry.” “I don’t know what that was, but I mean when it’s gone it kinda does feel good to come back,” Kirk said. “I came out and played my hardest like I normally do.”

Game notes New Mexico’s Hugh Greenwood left the game late in the second half after taking a hand to the right eye while helping to defend the lane on SJSU’s side of the floor. His eye was so swollen after the game that Neal feared it might swell completely shut by night’s end. Neal’s son, freshman Cullen Neal, said Greenwood’s nickname is Thor, the mythical superhero with long blond hair like the Aussie’s. “It’s crazy,” Neal said. “We told him that’s not supposed to happen to Thor.” … San Jose State’s 47 points was a season-low for a UNM opponent. … The Spartans were 10-for-28 from 3-point range but just 5-for-16 from inside the arc. … New Mexico has won 10 out of its last 11 games. … Nick Banyard’s 3-pointer in the second half was his first of the season and just the second of his UNM career. … The Lobos will host Wyoming on Wednesday in The Pit.

SUPER BOWL XLVIII

Seven elected to Hall of Fame Seattle’s defense dominant, yet still inexpensive By Rachel Cohen The Associated Press

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Peyton Manning counts $17.5 million against the Denver Broncos’ salary cap this season. For less than double that, the Seahawks pay for their entire starting defense. With some expert drafting and a few selective forays into free agency, Seattle built a dominant unit that’s also inexpensive, with the starting 11 costing under $34 million. It’s a young defense, too, and that’s a major reason it’s so affordable. Of the 18 players who have started at least one game this season, six were drafted by the Seahawks in 2011 or later, which means they’re still on their very reasonable rookie contracts. Where Seattle has spent money is on the defensive line, because depth there is a major priority. Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett were signed as free agents during the offseason for an $8.5 million tab; neither is expected to start in Sunday’s Super Bowl, but both are key parts of the rotation. “The nice part about working here is we have a real style about how we want to play,” defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said. “They know how to bring the players in.” After coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider were hired in early 2010, one of their first big moves was to trade for Chris Clemons. They wanted him for the “LEO” defensive end position in their hybrid 4-3 defensive scheme, the weakside rusher who sometimes plays

with his hand off the ground. Their style has allowed the Seahawks to find great value with players who might not fit into many other teams’ systems. Length and speed are attributes Quinn covets at all positions, confident the coaching staff can develop guys with raw skills into productive starters. Never was this truer than the 2011 draft. The Seahawks had seven picks in the final three rounds and used all but one on defensive players. “Overall, I think we were able to really improve the athleticism and speed of our team, and then we were able to do some things upfront from a strength and toughness standpoint,” Schneider said that day. He would prove to be right. Seattle got its two current starting cornerbacks in the fifth (Richard Sherman) and sixth (Byron Maxwell) rounds. The Seahawks also added two linebackers who have started this season: K.J. Wright in the fourth and Malcolm Smith in the seventh. For all the late-round success, Seattle also hasn’t whiffed when taking defensive players at the start of the draft. The Seahawks’ two defensive first-round picks in the past five years are both starters: linebacker Bruce Irvin (2012) and safety Earl Thomas (2010). But what’s been crucial, Quinn said, is a franchise philosophy to give players an equal chance no matter how much they’re paid. “Let’s not worry about where they were drafted or how they got here,” he said. “How far can we take them?”

Legacy: Broncos have No. 1-ranked offense Continued from Page D-1 Enter the Seattle Seahawks. The only thing Seattle is more known for than coffee is rain. Hence, expect the Seahawks to rain on Manning’s parade. We know all the gaudy numbers Manning has put up, especially the past two seasons in Denver. But Seattle is no joke, especially when you’re talking defense. Indeed, it’s a dream match. The No.1-ranked offense of the Broncos vs. the No. 1-ranked defense of the Seahawks.

Seattle’s speed and ability to put so many good players out there makes them super strong. And they make plays, especially cornerback Richard Sherman. Defense wins championship sounds like a tired, overused line. It’s not. If you have a good defense, you always have a better chance to win. And for all the great moments we have seen from Manning, it’s still hard to shake the bad moments, the blunders, the huge disappointing moments when he blew it in the postseason. That’s why the betting line isn’t as big as most would have

believed (Denver minus 2), given the season Manning had. Plus, he destroyed Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to get to the Super Bowl. The reason is simple. It’s Manning. Fans, even the hometown fans that love him, remember the Super Bowl against the New Orleans Saints when Manning threw that pick-six. Instead, a game-tying drive for the Colts, Manning secured the Saints’ 14-point victory. Even last year against Baltimore in the divisional playoffs, Manning was, well, half-Manning, and threw a terrible pick

on his side of the field that led to a Ravens’ game-winning field goal in double overtime. Fans in Denver were crushed. Some will always say it isn’t just the quarterback who wins or loses the game. Yeah, we get it. Nonetheless, this is a quarterback league. They get the most hype, the most loot and the most blame. It comes with the territory. And you can believe that if Manning makes mistakes, a turnover or two, and the Broncos don’t win, it will be about him and his legacy of failing in the postseason.

In the letter, Dylan Farrow claims that in 1992 at the family’s Connecticut home, Allen led her to a “dim, closet-like attic” and “then he sexually assaulted me.” Farrow didn’t specify Allen’s actions, but described other abusive behavior. “For as long as I could remember, my father had been doing things to me that I didn’t like,” Farrow said. “These things happened so often, so routinely, so skillfully hidden from a mother that would have protected me had she known, that I thought it was normal.” Allen was investigated on child molestation claims for the alleged 1992 incident in Con-

necticut. It was investigated the next year, but prosecutors elected not to charge him. The handling of the investigation was criticized after Litchfield County state attorney Frank S. Maco said in a news conference there was “probable cause” to charge Allen, although he elected not to. The 1992 allegation came shortly after Allen became involved with Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. Allen was not the adoptive father of Previn, who was about 19 at the time. Allen was in his mid-50s. The two married in 1997 and have two adopted daughters.

Plenty to do in St. Louis without spending a dime By Jim Salter The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — St. Louis is turning 250 this year, and visitors who want to join in the celebration can find plenty to do without spending a dime. The Gateway City was founded by Pierre Laclede and Auguste Chouteau on Feb. 15, 1764. A series of anniversary events are planned throughout the year. Some are serious, including a re-enactment of the founding on Feb. 15 at the Laclede’s Landing area on the Mississippi Riverfront downtown. Others are more whimsical, like a “Burnin’ Love” festival in which 250 couples are expected to become engaged on Valentine’s Day.

Gateway Arch The iconic Arch, built as a monument to westward expansion, stands 630 feet tall along the banks of the Mississippi River. For a fee, visitors can ride a tram to the top of the arch and gaze over downtown St. Louis to the west or the cornfields of Illinois to the east. But many attractions at and around the arch are free. That includes the Museum of Westward Expansion in the basement of the arch, focusing on life in the West in the 1800s. Visitors can also wander the expansive arch grounds, where a multimillion dollar upgrade project is underway and expected to be completed by 2016. Also free are visits to the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis, also operated by the National Park Service. The courthouse was the site of the famous Dred Scott case that played a role in eventually freeing the slaves. Construction of the Arch, designed by Eero Saarinen, began in 1963. The final piece connecting the two legs was installed in 1965, and the arch opened to visitors on May 25, 1968.

Anheuser-Busch Brewery tour The Busch family sold Anheuser-Busch to the Belgian brewer InBev in 2008, but the massive brewery remains an integral part of St. Louis, making some of the nation’s best-selling brews, including Budweiser and Bud Light. The complimentary tours are open to visitors of all ages — but only those 21 and older can taste the finished product after the tour. Younger visitors get soft drinks. Visitors not only get a glimpse

of how the beer is made but see the Budweiser Clydesdales, kept at stables on the brewery site. Reservations are required. Anheuser-Busch also offers a more comprehensive “Beermaster Tour” and “Beer School,” though neither is free. The brewery itself is in the eclectic Soulard area near downtown. Soulard Market nearby offers a variety of fresh produce, meats and other goods.

Grant’s Farm The 281-acre Grant’s Farm is owned by the Busch family. It got its name because the property was founded as a farm by Ulysses S. Grant, the Civil War general who later became the nation’s 18th president. The farm, in St. Louis County just south of the city, is home to more than 900 animals. Among them: Another group of Budweiser Clydesdales. More than 24 million people have visited Grant’s Farm since it opened in 1954. Reservations are required.

St. Louis Zoo The St. Louis Zoo in sprawling Forest Park is considered one of the best in the nation, and it’s one of the few that has no admission fee. Funding comes from a cultural tax district, the Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District, though fees are charged for some special attractions. The zoo is home to more than 18,000 animals, including some rare and endangered species. A “Zooline Railroad” takes visitors to various locations and is popular, especially among children. The zoo’s origins date to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, when the city purchased the Flight Cage from the Smithsonian Institution. Over the years, new exhibits and animals were added.

St. Louis Science Center The Science Center, also part of Forest Park and funded through the same cultural subsidy as the zoo, is among the few free science centers in the U.S. It was founded as a planetarium in 1963. Today, the center includes more than 750 exhibits in 300,000-plus square feet of space, making it one of the nation’s largest science centers. About 1.2 million people visit it each year. The center itself is free, but fees are charged for admission to some special exhibits and planetarium shows. An Omnimax Theater also charges for admission.

e often discuss the creature comforts of what nuzzles the soul in an interior — meeting needs, telling your story, and making the space work for you. This month we want to address the visceral, the POW! We all know what the feeling is like when we fall in love. It isn’t something that can be analyzed or convinced; rather, it just is. Or isn’t. It cannot be reasoned or rationalized. (Though we may try!) The feeling is much the same when we encounter that certain piece of art, table or light fixture. It just calls to you and makes your heart beat faster or brings a smile to your face, and you continue to think about it. It is hard to articulate why. There are two contexts in which this feeling usually happens. The first is that you are fairly consistent, and most of the things that leap to you in this manner unknowingly follow some sort of pattern; they are of the same genre, pattern structure or color palette. There is nothing lesser about this. We have seen artists continually create work with consistent themes due to what resonates with them, perhaps imagery that is in the fabric of their lives or an impression engraved early in the subconscious. Alternatively, you may surprise yourself with your reactions to disparate objects or crave the unexpected. Do you take the leap? It can take a certain degree of bravery to commit to something for the mere reason that it stops you in your tracks and you can’t let it go. Selfdoubt can set in, instead of defiant self-actualization. We are frequently asked, when a client encounters the latter experi-

ence, if the piece “works” within their space. Our answer is usually, if you love it, it works, or we can adjust to make it work. This does not suggest a free-for-all where anything goes, rather a thoughtful incorporation of elements that stir you. Fabrics, chairs, light sconces, rugs — all can be forms of artistic expression while also functional on a high level. Art, and our absorption of it or reaction to it, is not to be boxed in and understood. It is a freeing exercise, meant to transcend the structures of our lives and all that we control, plan and seek comfort in. While we typically create spaces that create some form of harmony and follow some degree of structure in palette, mood or sensibility, they often ask to be shaken up, or disturbed by something unexpected or contrary to the established. We embrace and support this sort of combustion as that is precisely what allows an interior to continue giv-

ing something to its occupant. We believe it is the element of surprise that prevents stagnation of the perfect or prescribed, creating an openness to possibilities. However, we may also then apply Newton’s Third Law of Motion, or Law of Reciprocal Actions: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” In the context of this discussion, this translates to the need to add subtle counterbalance to an element that

provokes. For example, if an edgy chandelier is selected for an otherwise traditional space, another modern object or piece of art might be placed in the space to resonate with the chandelier. We want to encourage following your instinct — not always playing it safe or staying in your comfort zone. Take that leap when your heart dances or soul revs up for something that is speaking to you, and it can

create an unexpected dialogue that transforms your space, and perhaps your life, in some small way.

Save money by paying off mortgage early An extra payment can make a big difference By Marcie Geffner Bankrate.com

Paying off your mortgage might sound like an ambitious New Year’s resolution, especially if you have recently refinanced into a 30-year term. But it’s still smart for homeowners to give some serious thought as to how they’ll pay off their home loan. An early mortgage payoff can net substantial interest savings compared to making scheduled payments for 15 or 30 years. Paying more quickly reduces your housing cost, freeing up that money for other needs and wants, said Ronit Rogoszinski, a wealth adviser at Arch Financial Group in Garden City, N.Y. You’ll still be responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and home maintenance and repairs, but your mortgage payment will disappear. “Once that money can remain in your pocket, you control that money,” Rogoszinski said. “It’s yours. It’s not going to someone else.” An argument can be made in favor of allocating more cash to investments instead of eliminating low-cost debt,

said Alfred McIntosh, principal of McIntosh Capital Advisors, a financial planning and investment management firm in Los Angeles. But, he said, being mortgage-free can be “a very beautiful thing,” especially for homeowners near retirement age. Here are six ways to get rid of your mortgage. Pay more each month: The simplest way to pay off a mortgage is to add an extra amount, say $50 or $500, to each monthly payment, Rogoszinski said. You shouldn’t sacrifice necessities, such as sustenance or medical care, but putting a little more toward the mortgage can be a good financial habit. “If you can manage your expenses in a way that an extra couple of dollars goes toward the mortgage, that’s freeing up money down the road sooner rather than later,” she said. Some homeowners add enough to their payment each month to make one extra payment each year. McIntosh explained the math: Divide one payment by 12 or multiply one payment by 10 percent, and add that to the amount each month. Make sure the extra money is applied to principal, not interest or your escrow account. Prepaying interest or padding your escrow won’t accelerate your loan payoff date.

Make extra payments: Making an extra payment in January, December or some other month is more challenging than paying a little extra each month, but the benefits are the same, Rogoszinski said. “The faster you get rid of your debt, the more cash flow you have, the more things you can do,” she said. “I don’t think there is ever a wrong time to do that.” One way to make that extra payment less painful is to make payments every two weeks instead of every month. The result is 26 half-payments instead of 12 full payments. Pay a lump sum: A gift of money, an inheritance, a bonus or an incometax refund creates another chance to put extra money toward your mortgage. This strategy works best if you don’t have other, more costly debt, Rogoszinski said. “You really want to pay off the most expensive debt you have as fast as possible,” she said. Examples of higher-cost debt include most private student loans, auto loans, department store cards and revolving credit cards. Another option is to deposit your windfall into a savings account and set up an automatic monthly payment from that account to your mortgage, Rogoszinski said. That way, you can

have money in the bank and put money toward paying off your mortgage, too. A more aggressive approach is to invest the lump sum for a return that’s higher than your mortgage rate, then use the principal plus appreciation, dividends and interest to pay off the mortgage when you retire, McIntosh said. Refinance to speed up payoff: Refinancing can help you pay off your mortgage sooner, the idea being that a lower payment frees up money that can be applied to additional principal payments. The challenge is being able to qualify for a new loan, said Justin Lopatin, vice president of residential banking at Baytree National Bank & Trust in Chicago. The biggest hurdle, Lopatin said, is the effect of declining home values. A lower valuation can throw off your loan-to-value ratio, result in an appraisal that’s too low to support your loan amount, or trigger a need for mortgage insurance, making your new payment more costly and refinancing less attractive. You’ll also need an up-to-par credit score and two years of documented stable income, Lopatin said. To maximize the benefit of refinancing, shorten the term of your loan. For example, if you’ve paid off 10 years of a

30-year term, refinance with a 15-year mortgage instead of a new 30-year loan. Shrink your housing costs: Selling your house might seem like a dramatic way to get rid of your mortgage, but it’s certainly effective, leaving you free to buy a more affordable home for cash or become a renter without any housing debt. Whether downsizing makes sense is largely a matter of your needs and personal lifestyle, yet Rogoszinski said it’s “definitely something to consider.” But don’t try to time the housing market by selling high and buying low. That’s a strategy more appropriate for professional real estate investors than homeowners. Tap retirement savings: Homeowners who don’t have spare cash on hand might be tempted to tap a retirement account to pay off a mortgage. This idea has gained purchase in recent months, as legislation pending in Congress would waive the early withdrawal penalty if money removed from a retirement account were used to pay a home loan. Still, Rogoszinski and McIntosh advise caution. “My instinct is not to look at that very favorably, particularly because of how little retirement savings Americans have already,” McIntosh said.

ittle changes in and around Santa Fe make it feel different than a year ago. Packard’s is gone after many years of selling fine Native American handcrafts on the Plaza. Lucesse has moved its fine boot shop to the Plaza. The Railyard is ever more vibrant with the opening of Op Cit bookstore, the renovated Jean Cocteau theater screening an eclectic collection of films ranging from “Roberta”… a delightful 1935 film with fabulous dancing by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers, and a score by Jerome Kern… to “Game of Thrones,” the series written by the theater’s new owner George RR Martin. The Christmas season is always special here with the Native American dances and Posadas from traditional cultures anchoring seasonal celebrations. Farolitos light the plazas and byways, and the beautiful voices of the Desert Chorale in concert reverberate through the St. Francis Cathedral. Snow fell

MARKET REPORT SantaFeProperties.com/MarketReports

early, and skiers hit the lifts before Thanksgiving, and all runs are still open, though December was dry. Home sales were fairly strong with 555 closings, more than in any fourth quarter since 2006. The average home price held just above $400,000 where it has been since a year ago. The available inventory of homes for sale is about average, just above 2000 homes, or about 11 months’ supply at the current pace of sales. This is down from nearly 45 months’ supply in the 4th quarter of 2008. The St. Louis Federal Reserve president recently forecast a 3.2% growth in the U.S. economy in 2014. That is a modest rise, but many business and household budgets are still tight, so slower growth seems quite possible. We expect mortgage loan rates to remain near current levels. The wavy red trend line on the Quarterly Residential Sales chart illustrates the typical annual cycle of sales in nearly every year since 1992. The peaks (the 3rd quarter) and valleys (often the 1st quarter) are smoothed out, resulting measure a good gauge of past sales trends, and the best tool for forecasting future sales. The red sales trend line has risen in the past two years by about 120 sales per quarter, an increase of 12.5% per year. Home sales turned upward in the last half of 2011 and we expect it to continue through 2014. The Average Home Price chart rises from $369,000 in the first quarter of 2012 smoothly up and holds at just above $400,000 through 2013, except of course for the crash during the “fiscal cliff ” in the first quarter which made discretionary buyers fearful. Average prices last January were lower than any month since January 2004 when our monthly records begin. Without the “fiscal cliff ” drama, the red trend line for Average Home Price would be above $400,000 instead of at $385,000 as it is now. Let’s assume that the sharp first quarter drop in the average home price was caused by a synthetic, one-time political adventure. The “fiscal cliff ” was a significant setback in prices, but not indicative of the underlying dynamics of our market. A supportive “double bottom” pattern would be apparent in the chart, with recent home price averages dipping twice below $400,000 then recovering. Santa Fe home prices have completed a solid base, and a (continued on back page)
