Immigrant license repeal bill hits snag in committee State legislators mingle Thursday on the House floor. More than halfway through the session, only one bill of about 700 proposed has cleared both the House and Senate — the ‘feed bill,’ which authorizes funding for the session.

WHERE ARE THE BILLS? u On the House calendar for Monday, there are 10 bills ready for the floor.

ou can’t say there wasn’t a lot to entertain observers of the state Legislature.

For instance, those in the Senate gallery or following its webcast last week could have watched a performance by kids from the National Dance Institute, heard a few singers, seen introductions of senators’ guests and family members, heard a spoken-word piece about racism by Albuquerque’s poet laureate, listened to some good-natured ribbing about senators’ hairstyles, and heard a lot of sports trivia and even more talk about the annual Senate/House basketball game, which took place Friday. The situation was similar in the House.

But one thing you wouldn’t have seen much of is actual bills being passed. In fact, by the end of the week, a couple of days past the halfway point of the 30-day session, only one bill — out of the 700 or so that have been introduced — had cleared the Legislature, passing both the House and the Senate. That was the “feed bill,” which authorizes money to pay for the session.

Y

We will get the work done.

We always do.

There will be some bills that won’t be heard, but most of the time, those are bills that shouldn’t have passed anyway. We have to vet them carefully to try to avoid unintended consequences.”

Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, Senate Majority Leader With so much talk and so little action in the session so far, some newcomers and casual observers wonder why so much time is wasted in the Legislature — at a cost of nearly $179,000 a day — when so much remains to be done.

Old hands at the Roundhouse, however, just shake their heads, acknowledging that this is how the system always has worked.

Asked about this, Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, said last week, “This is a budget session. The budget is the most important thing we have to do.”

The state constitution dictates

that every two years, the Legislature meets for only 30 days. Issues other than budget matters are restricted. And indeed, a general rule of thumb for a short session is that not much happens until the budget is passed. The House debated the budget on Friday, but it stalled on a tie vote.

Sanchez said the Senate has been waiting for the House to pass the budget. He said he believes most other issues shouldn’t be acted on until the budget is in place.

Most expected the House to pass the budget by the end of the week. However, House Republicans, aided by one Democrat, were able to stop the budget in its tracks amid a dispute over education funding.

To be sure, it’s not as if bills are piling up on the House and Senate calendars waiting to be heard. On the House calendar for Monday, there are 10 bills ready for the floor. On the Senate, there are only five.

Most bills still are meandering their way through the committee process. Most bills get assigned to at least two committees in each chamber.

A bill to take driver’s licenses away from about 85,000 New Mexico residents who do not have proof of immigration status stalled again Saturday in a tie vote after a heated debate in the House Labor and Human Resources Committee.

Four Democrats on the committee voted to block the bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Paul Pacheco of Albuquerque. The measure, calling for repeal of a 2003 law that enables New Mexico residents who are in the country unlawfully to receive a driver’s license, is now stuck in the committee

Mixed breeds test agility Border collie wins trial competition at Westminster show

By Jennifer Peltz The Associated Press

N

EW YORK — A border collie named Kelso navigated a maze of obstacles Saturday, besting about 225 other dogs to win the Westminster Kennel Club show’s first agility competition.

Owned by Delaney Ratner of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, Kelso jumped, darted and clambered

The winner was one of 35 border collies entered in the competition.

A husky mix called Roo!, owned by trainer Stacey Campbell of San Francisco got a special award for the best mixed-breed dog at the event.

The agility trial added a dynamic, fast-growing sport to the nation’s best-known dog show and marked the first time mixed-breed dogs have appeared there in 130 or more years. Dogs are judged on accuracy and speed as they navigate jumps, tunnels, ramps and other objects

In brief Poll finds Catholics clash with Vatican views Most Catholics worldwide disagree with church teachings on divorce, abortion and contraception and are split on whether women and married men should become priests, according to a large new poll released Sunday and commissioned by the U.S. Spanish-language network Univision. On the topic of gay marriage, two-thirds of Catholics polled agree with church leaders.

Among the findings: u 19 percent of Catholics in the European countries and 30 percent in the Latin American countries surveyed agree with church teaching that divorcees who remarry outside the church should not receive Communion, compared with 75 percent in the most Catholic African countries. u 30 percent of Catholics in the European

French love triangle stirs White House dinner WASHINGTON — When President Barack Obama invited President François Hollande of France for Tuesday’s state dinner, the White House drew up a list of 300 guests to honor the visiting leader and his partner, Valérie Trierweiler. Engraved invitations, with the presidential seal in gold at the top, were printed and set to be mailed.

But there was an unexpected development.

Hollande’s relationship with Trierweiler blew up in the midst of revelations of an affair with a French actress he had secretly been visiting by motor scooter. Suddenly, Trierweiler was

no longer France’s unofficial first lady and no longer coming to the White House. The thick ivory invitations with the words “the president and Mrs. Obama request the pleasure of” each guest’s company had to be quietly destroyed and new ones printed without Trierweiler’s name.

L’affaire Hollande has proved to be a dangerous liaison for the tradition-bound White House. Although it is not unprecedented, not many foreign leaders arrive at the executive mansion stag for the most formal and coveted gala in Washington, and even fewer split from their partners, legally recognized or otherwise, just weeks before the festivities. For a few days, at least, the White House social office was left to wonder whether the other woman — identified by the weekly tabloid Closer as the actress Julie Gayet, 18 years younger than Hollande, 59 — would come in place of Trierweiler. (She will not.)

All of which has posed challenges for a White House staff already nervous about holding the first state dinner in nearly two years, and for haute cuisine-conscious French guests no less.

Samuels, who had five papillons in Saturday’s contest.

Agility aficionados say the sport is a canine confidencebuilder that creates rapport between dogs and owners and provides a healthy outlet for high-energy dogs that need something to occupy them.

Saturday’s competitors spanned 63 different breeds, from the diminutive papillions to such big dogs as Doberman pinschers.

Many represented breeds known for their agility chops. But their rivals included breeds with physiques that don’t necessarily scream “nimble.”

NEW YORK — In a major drug bust that drew little attention just a week before Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death, authorities found a sophisticated heroin packaging and distribution operation in an apartment in the Bronx.

There, workers with coffee grinders, scoops and scales toiled around the clock to break down bricks of the drug into thousands of tiny, hit-size baggies, bearing such stamped brands as “Government Shutdown” and, in a nod to the Super Bowl, “NFL.” The seizure of $8 million worth of heroin was the result of the latest raid on heroin mills located behind the doors of New York homes, which authorities say are a sign of a well-oiled distribution network that caters to more mainstream, middle- and upper-class customers like the Oscar-winning Hoffman.

Heroin dealers want to find customers with ready cash “who are going to be with them until they die,” said city Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan. “That’s the attitude.”

Tests are continuing to try to pinpoint how Hoffman died, but his body was found with a syringe in his arm and dozens of packets of heroin nearby. Where he got his drugs remains uncertain, but the arrests of drug suspects identified during the investigation suggest he might have visited a lower Manhattan apartment building where a supplier lived.

There’s no evidence that the Bronx operation provided any heroin Hoffman might have bought. But New York has long been known as the nation’s capital of smack, regularly accounting for about 20 percent of the heroin the federal Drug Enforcement Administration seizes every year.

Those seizures have grown by 67 percent in the state over the last five years, a trend Brennan attributes in part to high-volume heroin mills invisible to most New Yorkers but capable of churning out hundreds of thousands of packets within days after a big shipment arrives.

The pipeline starts in Mexico, where cartels traffic Colombian-produced heroin by the kilogram. The wholesalers smuggle the drugs into the United States concealed in trucks, through tunnels dug under the southwest border and, in one recent case, by molding and coloring the heroin to look like coffee beans and shipping it via UPS to a private postal box in Queens.

In the Northeast, the cartels have increasingly supplied Dominican middlemen who rely on a business model for heroin mills that emphasizes discipline, quality control and an absence of violence.

The retailers favor residential settings in safe neighborhoods as a means of cover. Raids by Brennan’s office and the DEA in recent years have found them in a newly renovated apartment in midtown Manhattan that rented for $3,800 a month and in a two-story, red-brick home in the New York City suburb of Fort Lee, N.J. A mill found in an 18th-floor apartment in upper Manhattan had a sign that read, “Clean Up After Yourselves — The Management.” At another discovered across the street from Manhattan College in a Bronx, immigrant workers wore school sweatshirts to try to blend in.

Workers can make up to $5,000 a week. They’re also given meals and toiletries to help make it through 12-hour shifts.

The mill operators and workers go out of their way not to disturb neighbors, who might report them to police, or to draw the attention of other criminals who want to rob them. They leave the apartments empty when not working, and sometimes change locations long before their leases are up as a cost of doing business, said James J. Hunt, the acting head of the DEA’s New York office.

U.S. to extend more federal benefits to same-sex couples Policies aim to eliminate distinction between gay, opposite-sex marriages

By Matt Apuzzo The New York Times

WASHINGTON — The federal government will soon treat married same-sex couples the same as heterosexual couples when they file for bankruptcy, testify in court or visit family in prison.

Attorney General Eric Holder was preparing to issue policies aimed at eliminating the distinction between same-sex and opposite-sex married couples in the federal criminal justice system, according to excerpts from a speech prepared for a Saturday event organized by a prominent gay rights group.

“In every courthouse, in every proceeding and in every place where a

member of the Department of Justice stands on behalf of the United States, they will strive to ensure that same-sex marriages receive the same privileges, protections and rights as opposite-sex marriages,” Holder’s prepared remarks said, according to the excerpts circulated by the U.S. Justice Department.

The changes were set in motion last year when the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional to refuse federal benefits to married same-sex couples, a ruling that Holder supported.

Gay rights advocates welcomed the changes but had hoped Holder would use his address before the Human Rights Campaign to announce that the president would sign an order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating based on sexual orientation.

“That would be big,” said Gary Buseck, legal director for Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders.

Since the Supreme Court ruling in June, the Obama administration has rewritten federal rules to allow same-

sex couples to file taxes together and receive Medicare and other benefits reserved for married couples. Holder has been the public face of those efforts and has made championing gay rights one of the central messages of his tenure.

“These issues are very much at the center of this administration’s civil rights legacy,” said Ian S. Thompson, who works on gay and lesbian issues for the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington.

Speaking before Sweden’s parliament a few days ago, Holder called fighting for gay and lesbian rights one of “the defining civil rights challenges of our time.”

The remarks Saturday by Holder, the first black attorney general, cast the gay rights movement as a continuation of the civil-rights efforts of the 1960s.

“As all-important as the fight against racial discrimination was then, and remains today, know this: My commitment to confronting discrimination

based on sexual orientation or gender identity runs just as deep,” his speech said.

The government estimates that more than 1,100 federal regulations, rights and laws touch on, or are affected by, marital status. With a memo Monday, Holder plans to make several of those provisions apply equally to gay and straight couples.

In court cases and criminal investigations, for example, same-sex couples will be covered under what is known as the spousal privilege, a rule that says spouses cannot be forced to testify against each other. The Bureau of Prisons will extend the same visitation rights to married same-sex couples that it does to opposite-sex couples, Holder said.

The Justice Department will also recognize same-sex couples when determining eligibility for programs like the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, which pays people who were injured or made sick by the 2001 ter-

NSA secrets slipping through media cracks Accidentaldisclosures show risk of reporting on spying programs

By Raphael Satter The Associated Press

LONDON — News organizations publishing leaked National Security Agency documents have inadvertently disclosed the names of at least six intelligence workers and other government secrets they never intended to give away, an Associated Press review has found.

The accidental disclosures illustrate the risks of even wellintentioned, public-interest reporting on highly secret U.S. programs.

In some cases, prominent newspapers including The New York Times quickly pulled down government records they published online and recensored them to hide information they accidentally exposed. On one occasion, The Guardian newspaper published an NSA document that appeared to identify an American intelligence target living abroad. Before the newspaper could fix its mistake, a curious software engineer, Ron Garret of Emerald Hills, Calif., tried to contact the man at his office.

“I figured someone ought to give him the heads up,” Garret told The Associated Press.

The inadvertent disclosures, which include technical details and other information, are another complication in the ethically and technically challenging coverage of the NSA’s surveillance programs. Journalists who have seen the unfiltered secrets leaked by former intelligence worker Edward Snowden agree that some things are offlimits for publication. But media organizations sometimes have struggled to keep them that way.

Glenn Greenwald, the reporter and columnist who has played a key role in publishing so many of Snowden’s revelations, has said he wouldn’t

publish the names of U.S. intelligence workers unless they were top-ranking public officials. Greenwald told the AP that the mistaken disclosures of at least six names and other material were minor errors made by technical staff and quickly corrected.

“We reported on these documents with the largest and most well-respected media organizations in the world, but like all human institutions, none is perfect,” Greenwald said.

It was not immediately clear what damage, if any, has come from the disclosures of the names of the six NSA employees and other secrets. The NSA would not discuss its employees. None appeared to be working undercover.

The AP was able to locate several of their home addresses and other personal details about them. The NSA said in a statement that it asks news outlets “to redact and withhold the names of employees, given the sensitive nature of the information and concerns for the safety of employees and their families.”

The AP is not republishing the names of the NSA employees. It generally uses full names of government employees unless there is a specific threat or security concern. In this instance, the AP concluded the

“They were scrolling through it and I thought, ‘Hold on, that’s an unredacted, classified document,’ ” said Christopher Parsons, who noticed the mistake.

“It was kind of nuts. I couldn’t believe that they were so cavalierly showing it on national television.”

Parsons, a privacy expert at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs, was able to read the employees’ names by pausing, rewinding and replaying the video.

CBC’s director of news content, David Walmsley, said the network regretted the error, pulled the video off its website and purged the material from its servers.

names were not vital to readers’ understanding of the issues and provided no additional credibility or transparency into the issues.

The accidental disclosures — the AP counted at least eight of them — involve carelessness by some television broadcasters, sloppy digital redactions applied to copies of documents and, in The Guardian’s case, an incomplete understanding of what information might be revealing.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s nightly news program, The National, revealed the names of three NSA employees when its cameras panned across NSA documents during voice-overs.

rorist attacks. Same-sex spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty will also be eligible for federal benefits.

The federal rules have no effect on state laws. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia recognize samesex marriages.

Challenges to bans on same-sex marriage are underway in several states, including Utah. A federal judge there said in December that the state’s ban was unconstitutional, but the Supreme Court put that decision on hold while an appeal played out.

Between those rulings, about 1,300 couples got marriage licenses in Utah.

Last month, Holder said the federal government would recognize those marriages.

Opponents of same-sex marriage accused Holder of overstepping his authority in that case. Buseck, meanwhile, said the Obama administration could do more, such as the executive order on discrimination, to leave a civil rights legacy.

Mason: Actress will maintain business Continued from Page A-1

Carrie Hamblen, executive director of the Green Chamber of Commerce’s Power Up Your Business program in Las Cruces, and state Rep. Bill McCamley, D-Mesilla Park, take a selfie Tuesday on the House floor. While there’s been plenty of activity at the Roundhouse since the 2014 session began, not much of it has involved passing bills. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

Pace: Lawmakers not worried about time Continued from Page A-1 Like Sanchez, Rep. Nate Cote, D-Las Cruces, said Friday that most of the focus of the session so far as been on the budget.

He thought the session “was a bit slow at the beginning.” Part of the problem, he said, was that there were many messages from the governor, which authorized various nonbudget bills to be heard in the session.

But Cote said things seem to be moving in committees. “I have 14 bills, and nine or 10 have had hearings,” he said.

But what does Sanchez say to the public, who might think that the Legislature wastes too much time watching dance performances and joking about each other’s basketball abilities?

“This is the people’s house,” Sanchez said, referring to the Capitol. “Kids like to come here and perform. Parents like to bring them to perform. It helps the morale of both the Legislature and staff to have things like that. It would be pretty dull if we didn’t allow things like that.”

One way lawmakers in both chambers have spent their time is debating and passing memorials. These are nonbinding pieces of legislation, some calling for state agencies to study specific issues, some honoring prominent citizens, some dealing with international conflicts or small-

town high school sports teams.

By the end of the week, the House had passed 21 memorials, four joint memorials (those are ones that go through both chambers) and seven bills. The Senate had passed 29 memorials, seven joint memorials and three bills.

Among the memorials that have passed this session include New Mexico Food and Farms Day, Santa Fe Day, Clayton Yellowjackets Day, McKinley County/Gallup Day, National Native American Heritage Day, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Day, New Mexico Mesa Day, Senior Citizens Day, Survivors of Suicide Day and one calling to draft Lt. Gov. John Sanchez to play for the Senate basketball team.

The House even delved into some serious arcane foreign policy with House Memorial 2, sponsored by Rep. Nora Espinoza, R-Roswell. With this measure, the New Mexico House of Representatives is officially on the record calling for a political settlement to the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The memorial also calls for support of the strategic partnership between the U.S. and the Republic of Azerbaijan. A report said the memorial has no fiscal impact on the state.

An identical memorial, sponsored by Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen, D-Las Cruces, is working its way through the Senate.

House Republican Leader Don Bratton of Hobbs has complained for years about the avalanche of memorials that pour down on the Legislature each session. Two years ago, he sponsored a tongue-in-cheek memorial of his own that called for a second legislative session just to handle memorials.

In a House Business and Industry Committee meeting last week — in which the panel spent well over an hour on a memorial — Bratton noted that memorials not only take time, but require reams of paper.

During the meeting, he groaned, “I’m not sure why we’re killing trees for these memorials.”

By Friday, the pace in the Roundhouse seemed to be picking up. Between the basketball chatter and the memorials, the House spent more than three hours debating the budget, while the Senate actually passed a couple of bills.

Sanchez said he is not worried about any lost time.

“We will get the work done,” he said.

“We always do. There will be some bills that won’t be heard, but most of the time, those are bills that shouldn’t have passed anyway. We have to vet them carefully to try to avoid unintended consequences.”

Snag: House speaker led opposition to bill Continued from Page A-1 and unlikely to make it through the Legislature for the fourth consecutive year.

House Speaker Kenny Martinez, who sits on the labor committee, led the opposition to Pacheco’s bill. Martinez said the measure would strip driver’s licenses from nine classes of legal immigrants.

“Is it your intent to take away driver’s licenses from people who have lawful status?” he asked.

Pacheco had a tart reply: “I think you’re being selective in what you’re reading.”

Martinez said the bill was fueled by xenophobia and brought for political purposes, not to solve any problem.

Pacheco, a retired police officer, said he resented those characterizations. He said politics had nothing to do with his decision to carry the bill.

Pacheco could still try to move the bill through the full House of Representatives by seeking an extraordinary floor vote. He attempted that maneuver last year, but it failed. He said he was uncertain what his next step would be. But he was pessimistic that his bill could clear the state Senate, even if he gets it through the House of Representatives.

“My gut feeling is probably not,” he said.

Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, campaigned hard in 2010 to repeal the licensing law and has pushed for the change in every legislative session since.

Pacheco’s repeal bill would grant provisional driver’s licenses to young people who have a lawful presence in the country under President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Those residents now qualify for full-fledged licenses.

Pacheco said he believes the state has to repeal the licensing law to curb fraud in motor

vehicle field offices and to make sure New Mexico can comply with the Real ID Act, a federal law that sets requirements for state driver’s licenses and identification cards to be accepted as ID for official purposes, such as boarding a plane.

Demesia Padilla, secretary of the state Taxation and Revenue Department, testified that a failure to meet requirements of the Real ID Act by Oct. 10 would be costly to New Mexico residents.

She said they would need passports, not New Mexico driver’s licenses, to board airplanes.

Opponents of the repeal bill, including the ACLU of New Mexico, said Padilla was wrong to presume that the Real ID Act eventually will be enforced.

Implementation of the measure, approved by Congress in 2005, has continually been delayed.

As of January, only 21 states were in compliance.

“Over half the states in the country are not in compliance with this unpopular and unfunded mandate,” said Steven Allen of the ACLU. “It is inconceivable that the federal government would follow through on their threats to ban

half the country from flying on an airplane or entering a federal building.”

In December, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it would not enforce Real ID requirements to board airplanes until 2016 at the earliest.

Speaker Martinez said New Mexico could meet all requirements of the Real ID law without taking away the driver’s licenses of immigrants. He said just such a bill was introduced last year by Rep. Paul Bandy, R-Aztec, and that he would be happy to revive it and make sure it was approved before the legislative session ends Feb. 20.

In his most fiery speech on the licensing law, Speaker Martinez said proponents of the repeal had “manufactured a crisis” over driver’s licenses instead of simply crafting a law to meet Real ID requirements.

Certain states that issue driver’s licenses to people who do not have proof of immigration status already are in compliance with the Real ID Act, he said.

Rep. Miguel Garcia, the labor committee chairman, was the original sponsor of the licensing

law for immigrants. He said it had served the state well for a decade and should stay on the books.

Immigrant laborers are vital to the state’s oil, dairy and farm industries, Garcia said. The licensing law allows them to drive to work without fear, and their names and addresses are contained in police databases, improving public safety, he said.

Numerous police organizations, however, testified in favor of repealing the licensing law.

An exception was the Santa Fe Police Department, which supports it.

Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell, said the licensing law was supposed to increase the number of insured motorists in New Mexico, but it has not done so. The state remains among the worst statistically for motorists driving without car insurance, she said.

Defenders of the law counter that foreign nationals account for only about 5 percent of the 1.6 million people who have a New Mexico driver’s license.

They say the problem of uninsured drivers includes plenty of U.S. citizens.

Just before the four-hour hearing concluded with the tie vote, Pacheco said he was representing the public’s will.

“I get phone calls and emails every day from people who want the law repealed,” he said. “… This is about trying to do the right thing.”

But Marcela Diaz, executive director of Somos Un Pueblo Unido, a Santa Fe-based immigrant rights group, said the repeal bill ran out of steam long ago.

“This is a dead issue. It’s time the governor and our legislators move on,” she said.

“This sale is a big transition after 20 years there,” Mason said in an interview. “But I’m not too sad because the people who purchased it want to continue to use it as a farm, and they have great respect for the land. When they saw the property, they got the whole idea and how special it is.”

The estate originally was placed on the market for $11 million, but the new owners paid $6.2 million.

Listing agent Don DeVito of Santa Fe Properties said the estate probably took so long to sell because of the recession. “I began listing it in September 2008, just before the fall of AIG and Lehman Brothers. Our world just changed on Sept. 15, 2008. We’ve all weathered an incredible time.

“I think in normal times, the farm would have sold a lot sooner. There were several people who had interest, and we were under contract before.”

Mason’s fruitful sojourn in Abiquiú began when she was thinking she needed to get out of Hollywood. She was familiar with New Mexico because her first husband, Gary Campbell, was a native. She lived in Santa Fe with her second husband, the playwright/ screenwriter Neil Simon, with whom she was married from 1973 to 1981.

“I had a second home with Neil in La Tierra Nueva, and when we divorced I toyed with the idea of keeping it,” Mason said in a telephone interview, “but I was slightly concerned about being landlocked.

“When I was thinking of leaving L.A., I came to Santa Fe and looked at property with friends. Then Shirley MacLaine called me and said she’d seen this property in Abiquiú. I visited it, and I liked it a lot.”

After purchasing the parcel for about $1 million in 1992, Mason remodeled a decrepit, existing building to create what she calls the Art Barn.

She lived there before building her house, a 6,500-squarefoot, four-bedroom, adobe arranged around a courtyard.

The house was modeled on an Argentinian estancia, specifically on one she saw in a book about that style of estate.

“I had spent a month in a farmhouse in Italy, and I fell in love with the basic idea, which is very similar to Santa Fe — an adobe with lintels, tiles and whitewashed walls.

The basic design I lifted straight out of that book, and then I added elements from Spain, Mexico and Portugal.”

The project was a collaboration involving a design by Santa Fe architect Theodore Waddell, fine-tuning by SMPC Architects of Albuquerque and construction by Campbell and Steele LLC of Santa Fe. The next step in her Abiquiú project was setting up a working farm. She had advice from permaculturist Scott Pittman on the layout of the fields, and she added a series of ponds, for both practical and aesthetic reasons.

“I put in three ponds, including one off of an acequia and one in the bosque for the birds, the coyotes, and the elk and deer,” she said.

She started work on what would eventually be a certified organic farm.

“During a treatment with my Chinese doctor in L.A., he said if I was ever to decide to grow anything, I should do medicinal herbs because they’re very hard to find.

“Emigdio Ballon, who is now head of Tesuque Farming, became my grower. I was interested in biodynamic farming because I had read Rudolf Steiner, and I found out about this whole philosophy of farming that is done in Europe on his principles.”

She started out selling fresh herbs to Daniel Gagnon at Herbs Etc. in Santa Fe, then she developed her own product line with Mitch Coven of Vitality Works in Albuquerque. Her first incentive was to create a salve for her farmwork hands, using herbs

from her own fields. The salve was the start of Resting in the River Organic Farm & Natural Products.

Her company (www. restingintheriver.com) offers healing hydration mists, herbal wellness sprays and body butter — the latter is made with the flowers and leaves of spilanthes, calendula, chaparral, St. John’s Wort, arnica and aloe, as well as shea nut butter, olive oil and vitamin E. Besides the website, Mason sells her products at retailers including Vitamin Cottage and Whole Foods in Santa Fe, Las Vegas and Albuquerque.

She will maintain her Resting in the River business and hopes to buy organic plant ingredients from the new owners.

“Of course, they have to get up and running. They have some exciting plans, possibly growing quinoa as well as organic alfalfa. And if it doesn’t work with them, there are other growers that have volunteered to grow for us.”

Laurie Hilton, Sotheby’s International Realty, brought the buyers to the transaction.

Their names are withheld because of a confidentiality agreement. Gregg Antonsen, qualifying broker at Sotheby’s in Santa Fe, only revealed that the new owners are “an American husband and wife.”

Realtor DeVito, who worked with Mason to market her property since 2008, said, “Marsha started with nothing, just idle land, and she created this incredible oasis. She was very open and inviting to the community. She has always opened the property to the Abiquiu Studio Tour, offering about 10 artists space to display their work.

“She’s a real New Mexican.

She has just done a lot for our greater community,” she said.

Mason, a native of St. Louis, had an early job as a go-go dancer in New York. Soon after that, the aspiring actress was cast for the soap Love of Life.

Since then, she has starred in more than a dozen films — she is a four-time Academy Award nominee — and nearly 30 television movies and shows. She was nominated for an Emmy for her appearances on the TV comedy Frasier.

She is currently in the cast of the ABC series The Middle, starring as the mother Patricia Heaton’s character.

Among her many theater credits are The Prisoner of Second Avenue, with Richard Dreyfus, at the Royal Haymarket Theatre in London (1999); and Steel Magnolias on Broadway (2005).

Asked about the next step in her evolution, Mason said, “I feel like I want to really focus in on acting and directing. I’m going to direct Chapter Two at the Bucks County Playhouse this spring. It’s kind of wonderful because when Neil wrote Come Blow Your Horn and Barefoot in the Park, they both started at the Bucks County Playouse.”

She did The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife at the playouse last summer.

Mason will serve alongside Cyndi Lauper and Joan Rivers as honorary chairwomen of the 28th annual Night of a Thousand Gowns on March 29. “I just said yes,” Mason responded when asked about the event. “I’m not even sure what I’m doing.”

The Night of a Thousand Gowns is a black-tie dinner dance fundraiser for New York’s LGBT community.

She will introduce, and roast, Richard Dreyfus (her co-star in The Goodbye Girl) in a March gala for the scholarship fund established by New York restaurateur Elaine Kaufman. And in July, she will help break in a new theater in Santa Barbara, playing Tallulah Bankhead in the play Looped.

Mason has a small house in Santa Fe, but there is no garden. She’s going to need some kind of farming therapy after all those years working with the soil.

“Exactly,” she said, laughing.

“Either that or a lot of pot.”

Health experts anticipate end of cigarette smoking

By Mike Stobbe The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Health officials have begun to predict the end of cigarette smoking in America.

They have long wished for a cigarette-free America, but shied away from calling for smoking rates to fall to zero or near zero by any particular year. The power of tobacco companies and popularity of their products made such a goal seem like a pipe dream.

But a confluence of changes has recently prompted public health leaders to start throwing around phrases like “endgame” and “tobacco-free generation.”

Now, they talk about the slowlydeclining adult smoking rate dropping to 10 percent in the next decade and to 5 percent or lower by 2050.

Acting U.S. Surgeon General Boris Lushniak last month released a 980-page report on smoking that pushed for steppedup tobacco-control measures.

“I can’t accept that we’re just allowing these numbers to trickle down,” Lushniak said in a recent interview with the AP. “We believe we have the public health tools to get us to the zero level.”

This is not the first time a federal health official has spoken so boldly. In 1984, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop called for a “smoke-free society” by the year 2000. However, Koop didn’t offer specifics on how to achieve such a goal.

“What’s different today is that we have policies and programs that have been proven to drive down tobacco use,” said Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

“We couldn’t say that in 1984.”

Among the things that have changed: u Cigarette taxes have increased around the country, making smokes more expensive.

Though prices vary from state to state, on average a pack of cigarettes that would have sold for about $1.75 20 years ago would cost more than triple that now. u Laws banning smoking in restaurants, bars and workplaces have popped up all over the country. Airline flights have long been off-limits for smoking. u Polls show that cigarette smoking is no longer considered normal behavior, and is now less popular among teens than marijuana. u Federal officials are increasingly aggressive about anti-smoking advertising. The Food and Drug Administration launched a new youth tobacco prevention campaign last week. At about the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention debuted a third, $60-million round of its successful antitobacco ad campaign — this one featuring poignant, deathbed images of a woman featured in earlier ads. u Tobacco companies, once considered impervious to legal attack, have suffered some huge defeats in court. Perhaps the biggest was the 1998 settlement of a case brought by more than 40 states demanding compensation for the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses. Big Tobacco agreed to pay about $200 billion and curtail marketing of cigarettes to youths. u Retailing of cigarettes is changing, too. CVS Caremark, the nation’s second-largest pharmacy chain, announced last week it will stop selling tobacco products at its more than 7,600 drugstores. The company said it made the decision in a bid to focus more on providing health care, but medical and public health leaders predicted pressure will increase on companies like Walgreen Co. and Wal-Mart

Stores Inc. to follow suit.

These developments have made many in public health dream bigger. It’s caused Myers’ organization and others to tout the goal of bringing the adult smoking rate down to 10 percent by 2024, from the current 18 percent. That would mean dropping it at twice the speed it declined over the last 10 years.

The bigger goal is to reduce U.S. smoking-related deaths to fewer than 10,000, from the current level of 480,000. But even if smoking rates dropped to zero immediately, it would take decades to see that benefit, since smoking-triggered cancers can take decades to develop.

But while some experts and advocates are swinging for the fences, others are more pessimistic. They say the key to reaching such goals is not simply more taxes and more local smoking bans, but action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to regulate smoking.

A 2009 federal law gave the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products. The law barred the FDA from blocking the sale of cigarettes, but the agency was free to take steps such as prohibiting the use of menthol flavoring in cigarettes and requiring cigarette makers to ratchet down the amount of nicotine in each smoke.

But nearly five years later, the FDA has yet to even propose such regulations. Agency officials say they’re working on it.

Many believe the FDA’s delay is driven by preparations for an anticipated battery of challenges.

A spokesman for Altria Group Inc., the maker of Marlboro, said the company supports the FDA exercising its regulatory authority over tobacco products. But as a whole, the industry has tended to fight regulation. Some of the nation’s largest tobacco companies — though not Altria — sued to stop FDA-proposed graphic warning labels on cigarette packs.

A federal court blocked the ads.

“The industry makes money as long as they can delay regulation,” said Kenneth Warner, a University of Michigan public health professor who is a leading authority on smoking and health.

Warner and Michigan colleague David Mendez estimate that, barring any major new tobacco control victories, the adult smoking rate will drop from its current 18 percent only to about 12 percent by 2050. If health officials do make huge strides, the rate could drop as low as 6 percent, they think.

But Lushniak said zero. Will that ever happen?

Some experts doubt it. As long as cigarettes and other combustible tobacco products are legal, it’s likely some people will smoke them. Efforts to prohibit them are likely to fail, they say. (Remember Prohibition?)

“It’s hard to do a ban on cigarettes because you’re taking something away from people they have and are using. Once you have something, you hold tight,” said Richard Daynard, a Northeastern University law professor who focuses on tobacco issues.

Better, he said, to bar people from having a product in the first place. He is intrigued by legal efforts in Singapore and a handful of other countries to ban sales of tobacco to anyone born after a certain year — 2000, say. That would be constitutional, he said.

The question is: Would our culture accept it?

Probably not, said Ruth Malone, editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Tobacco Control.

“In our culture, we tend to think we have a right to things even if they’re terrible for us,” she said.

ture,” said Tony Lourey, a Democratic state senator in Minnesota who sponsored the bill that created the exchange.

A state audit of California’s health exchange designated the agency “high-risk” because of uncertainty about sign-ups.

While Covered California expresses confidence about its prospects, Executive Director Peter Lee told state finance officials in December that “long-term sustainability of the organization” is its greatest vulnerability.

The 14 states and District of Columbia opted to build their own insurance marketplaces under the health care overhaul rather than use a federally operated system, which covers 36 states, including New Mexico.

Federal grants covered the cost of staffing and running the state exchanges, building the websites and marketing to customers.

Lagging enrollment isn’t the only problem. Many states still face potentially expensive fixes to glitchy websites on which customers choose policies. One study suggested that Minnesota’s might have to be rebuilt from the ground up. California’s exchange is greatly expanding its staff, hiring an additional 350 employees at its call centers in large part because of bottlenecks and long wait times.

As those problems persist, some consumers are buying policies through private companies, depriving the exchanges of revenue.

Anticipating financial shortfalls, some state exchange officials are looking at slashing everything from staffing to advertising budgets. Minnesota exchange officials also have considered selling ads on the MNsure website.

In Washington, private enrollment is about 40,000 people behind projected levels.

Exchange spokesman Michael Marchand acknowledged dramatic spending cuts are likely.

Insurance companies also could be tapped for more revenue. Washington state has budgeted $40 million to run its exchange in 2015 — funded with a 2 percent tax on its insurance sales. The Legislature has authorized charging insurance companies additional fees if necessary.

Insurance companies are likely to push back, and consumers would likely feel the impact of any hike.

Higher premium prices also could drive people away from the exchanges.

“Any time you come back to the insurers, that is just going to add to the cost of health care coverage,” said Eileen Smith, spokeswoman for the Minnesota Council on Health Plans, which represents the state’s five largest commercial health insurers.

In Rhode Island, state officials are assuming they will be allowed to continue using their federal grant money through the first half of 2015, but there is no set financial plan after that point. HealthSource RI estimates its annual operating costs at between $18 million and $24 million.

The federal government’s position on new grant requests is unclear, although the federal health care law expects exchanges to be self-sufficient.

“We are working closely with states to support their efforts to successfully implement their marketplace,” said Alicia Hartinger, a spokeswoman for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The agency would not clarify whether federal money might be available.

Patient and Family Advisory Council

N

ik Cecere, like many, knew that health care needed to change. And when he was asked to be part of the Patient and Family Advisory Council at CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, he was eager to become involved.

“I thought this was a great opportunity to perhaps be helpful in that change,” Nik said. “I saw this as an opportunity to open communication about what health care ought to be, and that’s patient-centered care.”

That commitment to patient-centered care led CHRISTUS St. Vincent to create the hospital’s first Patient and Family Advisory Council in 2013. It’s an initiative hospitals nationwide are embarking on to make sure patients’ voices are heard.

The Patient and Family Advisory Council at CHRISTUS St. Vincent is made up of current and previous hospital patients who live in the Santa Fe community. The current community members of the Council include Marilyn Perryman, Janet Schreiber, Nik Cecere, Andrea Duran, EJ Martinez, Dorothy Hayes, Racheline Timu, Janet Smith, and Jill Fineberg. There are also three CHRISTUS St. Vincent leaders on the Council: Mark Ackley, Colleen Catanach, and Executive Sponsor, Lillian Montoya.

This year, the Council is looking at the processes within the hospital and within the CHRISTUS St. Vincent Medical Group, and identifying opportunities for improvement from the patient perspective. The Council serves as a formal mechanism for involving patients and families in policy and program decision-making in healthcare matters.

“I love that we can share our experiences, and the experiences of others in the community,” said Council member Marilyn Perryman.

Marilyn brings a unique background to the group. In addition to being a patient, she has over 35 years of experience in the nonprofit sector and a passion for health care.

“Because I’ve worked in health care, I know that everyone wants to deliver superior care,” she said “But when

you’re so focused on that, you don’t see what the community is wanting, and that outside perspective can be so helpful.”

The Council advises the hospital’s senior management.

Opinions are listened to, valued, acted upon, and responded to. The experiences of patients and their feedback are instrumental in shaping the long-term strategy of the organization, and the group is encouraged to push for improvement.

The outcome of the Council will be innovative models for healthcare delivery in Northern New Mexico – models that focus on patient and family needs. This will lead to improved patient satisfaction, integrated care, further cultivation of the patient-doctor relationship, and improved clinical outcomes. The model also empowers individuals to be more involved with their care.

And while change doesn’t happen overnight, Nik Cecere believes the Patient and Family Advisory Council is already proving to be effective.

“CHRISTUS St. Vincent has changed a lot,” he said.

“This hospital has really changed from how it used to be operated. There’s a backlog in our community, I think, where the old reputation of St. Vincent precedes the reality of the care here. But the hospital has made great strides. It’s an entirely different place.”

Marilyn agreed and said that having community members involved in decisions for the hospital and medical group celebrates the important role of CHRISTUS St. Vincent in Santa Fe. “We’re all one,” she said. “This hospital is a family, and it’s our friends and neighbors who work there; they’re not outsiders. We all can be involved, and with everyone’s support, everyone gets better together.”

The Challenge of Obesity, and a Systems Approach to Solutions Wednesday, February 12 7:30 p.m.

James A. Little Theater 1060 Cerrillos Rd., Santa Fe Lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

Obesity has grown into a major global epidemic, with significant implications for public health and health care costs. Multiple overlapping contributing factors make obesity a highly complex problem with no simple or clear solution.

In fact, many researchers now suspect that our disappointing results so far stem from insufficient attention to this complexity. Ross Hammond reviews the data and trends on obesity and draws on complexity science for promising new approaches to obesity prevention.

Ross Hammond is a senior fellow and director at the Center on Social Dynamics and Policy at the Brookings Institution.

From his first days working as a contractor inside the NSA’s underground Hawaii facility for Dell, a computer maker, and then at a different Hawaiian location for Booz Allen Hamilton, a technology consulting firm that sells and operates computer security services used by the government, Snowden learned something critical about the NSA’s culture: While the organization built enormously high electronic barriers to keep out foreign invaders, it had rudimentary protections against insiders.

“Once you are inside the assumption is that you are supposed to be there, like in most organizations,” said Richard Bejtlich, the chief security strategist for FireEye, a Silicon Valley computer security firm, and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. “But that doesn’t explain why they weren’t more vigilant about excessive activity in the system.”

WASHINGTON — Intelligence officials investigating how Edward J. Snowden gained access to a huge trove of the country’s most highly classified documents say they have determined that he used inexpensive and widely available software to “scrape” the National Security Agency’s networks, and he kept at it even after he was briefly challenged by agency officials.

Using “Web crawler” software designed to search, index and back up a website, Snowden “scraped data out of our systems” while he went about his day job, according to a senior intelligence official.

“We do not believe this was an individual sitting at a machine and downloading this much material in sequence,” the official said. The process, he added, was “quite automated.”

The NSA’s mission includes protecting the nation’s most sensitive military and intelligence computer Edward systems from Snowden cyberattacks, especially the sophisticated attacks that emanate from Russia and China.

Snowden’s “insider attack,” by contrast, was hardly sophisticated and should have been easily detected, investigators found.

Moreover, Snowden succeeded nearly three years after the WikiLeaks disclosures, in which military and State Department files, of far less sensitivity, were taken using similar techniques.

Cease-fire in Syrian city falters, aid halted Three-day truce called for evacuation of civilians, shipment of food

By Bassem Mroue and Diaa Hadid The Associated Press

BEIRUT — Two trucks carrying food and medical supplies into rebelheld neighborhoods in the central Syrian city of Homs turned back under heavy fire Saturday, leaving four paramedics wounded as a cease-fire faltered, Syrian officials said.

Talal Barrazi, the governor of Homs province, told the Lebanon-based AlMayadeen TV that the attack occurred late in the afternoon and that the trucks were targeted by two roadside bombs and a mortar shell from the rebel side.

Homs activist Ahmad al-Qusair, however, denied there had been roadside bombs and said the convoy was attacked by mortar shells fired by government forces.

Barrazi later told Syrian state TV that two trucks were able to reach opposition-held neighborhoods earlier in the day. Al-Mayadeen also reported that two trucks, carrying 250 food par-

cels, were able to cross into rebel-held areas Saturday.

The state TV said four members of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent were wounded by rebel fire in the area, but gave no further details.

The Syrian Arab Red Crescent said on its Facebook page that its members were able to deliver 250 food parcels and 190 parcels containing detergents and medicines to the central neighborhood

of Hamidiyeh despite begin targeted by several mortar rounds. It added that one of its members was lightly wounded and two trucks were damaged.

It was not immediately clear why state media said four paramedics were wounded and the Red Crescent said only one.

Barrazi said about 100 civilians expected to be evacuated from rebelheld areas had yet to arrive. On Friday,

83 children, women and elderly people on wheelchairs were evacuated from Homs, the first people to leave the area in months, the U.N. said.

Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar Assad have prevented the entry of food and medical aid into rebel-held parts of the city for over a year, badly affecting hundreds of civilians holed up in the areas. An agreement had called for a three-day truce to allow the evacuation of some civilians and the entry of food shipments.

Al-Mayadeen aired live footage from the city’s Clock Square showing two white trucks identified with Syrian Arab Red Crescent markings as they returned from their unfulfilled mission.

The station’s reporter in the area said the radiator of one of the trucks was hit by a bullet.

“After the vehicles drove about 200 meters, two roadside bombs went off, and when they kept going a mortar round fell in the area coming from the direction of Hamadiyeh,” said Barrazi, referring to a rebel-held central neighborhood.

Earlier in the day, a Syrian official said fighting had broken out and that a mortar shell had landed near U.N. personnel. An activist said combat began when government forces fired 11 rock-

ets toward the rebel-held Hamidiyeh quarter. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two people were killed and several others wounded in an attack on rebel-held neighborhoods that residents blamed on government forces.

Homs city was one of the first areas to rise up against Assad in 2011 and has been particularly hard hit by the war.

Over the past year, the government has regained control over much of the city, except for a few neighborhoods in the historic center.

A coalition of exiled Syrian activists said Saturday they feared the agreement would be used as a “prelude to the regime destroying the city.”

“It has used similar deals to buy time to strengthen its positions on the ground and to kill more civilians,” the Syrian National Coalition said.

Video footage from Homs showed U.N. SUV’s in a street full of debris as gunfire rang out. The videos posted online by activists showed wounded men being rushed away from the scene. They appeared genuine and corresponded to other Associated Press reporting of events.

Muslims flee Central African Republic Untold numbers killed in nation’s escalating violence

beyond the U.N.-mandated sixmonth mission.

“We are going to avoid the worst,” Le Drian said. “By our presence, we can lower tensions on the ground, to pave the way for a peaceful political transition.”

That still seems like a distant goal in Central African Republic, a country with a long history of coups, rebellions and failed peace agreements. Given the unprecedented nature of the violence, no one can say how this all will end.

By Krista Larson The Associated Press

DAKAR, Senegal — The mob violence wracking Central African Republic imperils the future of the country’s Muslims, with tens of thousands fleeing the daily violence and untold numbers killed.

Bangui, the capital, is engulfed in an orgy of bloodshed and looting despite the presence of thousands of French and African peacekeepers.

“We are in a moment where immediate action is needed to stop the killings,” Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch told The Associated Press, calling for a full-fledged U.N. peacekeeping mission. “Otherwise the future of the Muslim community of this country will be gone.”

Muslims make up about 15 percent of Central African Republic’s 4.6 million people.

More than 800,000 people have fled their homes — about half of those from the capital, according to the United Nations.

“There are some who don’t want Muslims in this country,” Prime Minister Andre Nzapayeke said on local radio Saturday. “But when the Muslims have left the country, what happens next? The Protestants will throw out the Catholics, and then the Baptists against the Evangelists, and finally the animists? It is time we regain control and stop ourselves from plunging into an abyss.”

Thousands of Muslims left Bangui in a massive convoy Friday that was jeered by crowds of Christians. One Muslim who fell off a truck was quickly killed by the mob. Muslim women who could not get on the trucks tried to hand their children to strangers aboard the vehicles.

Whole neighborhoods are abandoned and Muslims who cannot leave are hiding inside mosques that have not already been set ablaze or destroyed by angry crowds.

Entire Muslim communities also have left towns in the rural northwest, sometimes only to come under attack from Christian militiamen and die while trying to get out of the anarchic country.

Across a wide stretch of northwest Central African Republic, Christian militiamen

known as the anti-Balaka (or anti-machete) have driven tens of thousands of Muslims out of the area. Many are seeking refuge in Chad or Cameroon, as there are few corners of Central African Republic where Muslims are an outright majority.

The violence against the Muslims is in reaction to abuses perpetrated by the Muslim Seleka rebels during their 10-month rule that began last March.

Seleke fighters tied their victims together and threw them off bridges to drown or be eaten by crocodiles, according to witnesses. Now that Seleka’s leader Michel Djotodia stepped down from the presidency last month and a precarious civilian interim government is in charge, it is the country’s Muslim minority that is now under assault.

No one knows the true death toll from two months of the worst inter-communal violence in this country’s history: It is often too dangerous for crews to recover the corpses. More than 1,000 were killed during several days of fighting in early December, when a Christian militia attempted to overthrow the Muslim rebel government then in power.

A preliminary investigation into potential war crimes or crimes against humanity has been opened, Fatou Bensouda, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Friday.

Babacar Gaye, the U.N.’s special representative to Central African Republic, has called for the murderers to be held accountable. Yet in a country where police officers long ago fled their jobs and courthouses are shuttered and looted, it’s not even clear where to begin.

Central African Republic was already one of the world’s poorest and most lawless countries even before the March 2013 coup by Muslim rebels from the north plunged the nation into deeper crisis. When the extra French troops first arrived in early December, more than 100,000 people sought refuge at the airport they guarded in the hope it would keep them safe.

That displacement camp has become a city within a city now dubbed “The Ledger” after the city’s sole five-star luxury hotel.

French defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told RTL radio on Thursday the military is likely to extend its mission in Central African Republic

My previous story on lobbyist reports ran Jan. 31. Here are the reports that have been filed since then: u The University of New Mexico Alumni Association on Tuesday spent $11,217 on a Legislative Appreciation Reception at La Fonda for legislators, state officials and a long list of people associated with the university, the alumni association, UNM Foundation officials and student government leaders. u John Christopher, lobbyist for Comcast Cable Corporation, spent $10,232 for dinner at Restaurant Martín on Feb. 3 for legislators. u Timothy “Ty” Trujillo, a lobbyist for the New Mexico Association of Community Colleges, spent $5,142 on Jan. 29 for a dinner at the Bull Ring.

New Mexico Primary Care Association spent $1,416 on Feb. 4 for 300 Teddy bears for legislators and Capitol staff. The occasion was Primary Care Day at the Roundhouse.

Please keep in mind that none of the items listed above is illegal. I’m not trying to make any lobbyist or legislator look bad. I’m sure not opposed to the local hospitality industry making some bucks during the session.

I just believe that when we elect people to public office, we have the right to know who is buying their drinks. And their Teddy bears.

MY VIEW: BILL DIMAS

MY VIEW: JAVIER GONZALES

Vote for experience An efficient and and collaboration unifying City Hall

Protect environment and Santa Fe’s youth

I

S

’m City Councilor Patti Bushee and I have had the honor of serving as a leader of our city for the last 20 years. Among many other things, together we have: u Created award-winning, affordable housing programs. u Protected our limited water supply, while managing growth. u Secured funding and overseen the build out of our fantastic network of urban trails. u Perhaps most importantly, we secured 3 percent of the city’s general fund for youth programs in Santa Fe that is funding the new transitional education program on the south side, for our most at-risk youth.

I look forward to putting my extensive experience and record of effectiveness to work for this remarkable city as your mayor. We will build on our many strengths to make Santa Fe a better place for everyone.

The New Mexican asked me to identify the two essential challenges for the city and what I would do about them.

First, we must stop making promises about job creation and start creating jobs. u New jobs in Santa Fe come from small and locally owned business, so we will expand our incentive programs, helping small businesses take root and grow and attracting new small businesses to town. u We must complete our broadband infrastructure. u We will put our new biotech incubator to work. u We must continue our support for the creative industries — art and film — and should consider affordable housing as a part of that challenge. u We must provide an atmosphere that promotes entrepreneurship — not discourages it.

Second, we must redirect and reprioritize our resources so that the south side, our fastest-growing side of town and where most of our young families live, will have the necessary socialservice infrastructure and safety net.

We must be certain that city services, particularly police and fire protection, are sufficient and effective in every part of the city, including the newly annexed areas.

We must assure that city programs and facilities support these new neighborhoods with youth programs, senior centers, parks and public meeting places, as well as basic infrastructure like

Those of you who know me know that I am a problem-solver, that I am passionate and compassionate, and that I am collaborative.

Patti Bushee roads, curbs and sidewalks.

Our greatest obstacle to meeting both these challenges is the loss of $80 million in city revenue resulting from the corporate tax giveaway at the end of the 2013 state Legislature. It’s counterproductive to raise gross receipts taxes to offset that loss. Such an increase is a regressive tax, hurting those who can least afford it, and stymies job growth.

We must put the city on a firm financial footing by conducting a full audit and review of all city projects and departments to ensure that every resource we have is being used efficiently and effectively and creating a professional management team that will be fair, transparent and ethical.

Those of you who know me know that I am a problem-solver, that I am passionate and compassionate, and that I am collaborative.

I have a strong track record of bringing people together to find creative solutions to complex problems.

As mayor, I will continue to bring our community together to create a shared vision and plan for our future.

The demands of the next four years are great, and it will take a serious and prepared leader to face those challenges. There is no time for on-the-job training, Patti Bushee represents District 1 on the Santa Fe City Council.

s a fourth-generation Santa Fean, I take great pride in this city.

My wife, Candy, and I have been married for 31 years and we have enjoyed the bounty of a rich and full family life.

We believe in giving back, so we have participated in many ways within our community. She worked for the school district for 33 years, and I was elected magistrate judge three times and served for 12 years. I have been a police officer, twice elected to the City Council and spent more than three decades coaching boys and girls athletics, including baseball, softball, basketball and football. I have been the game announcer for many sports activities around the city, played in numerous community bands and have been a well-known radio personality.

Now I want to lead the governing body as your mayor.

I chose to run for mayor because I have strong feelings about the direction of city government. I think it should be efficient and userfriendly. The city needs less drama and more focus on the work that elected officials are supposed to perform. Law enforcement, fire protection, streets, parks, soccer fields and other essential city services need our attention.

The first of our priorities should be public safety.

Crime, and particularly property crime, is committed by criminals driven by serious drug problems. We need to re-establish a narcotics unit within the police department.

It can be done without an increase in employees but will require some realignment of officers. I recently sponsored a resolution that established a 24/7 drug hotline that would route calls about suspicious drug activity to the 911 call center (4283737). No family should have to suffer the death of a child to understand the trauma of drug abuse, or become a victim of property crime to fund those buying drugs. We need to be more proactive in the fight to eliminate this scourge on our society.

Next, we need to pay attention to small businesses. If they don’t succeed, we don’t succeed. We can improve Santa Fe’s economic development by holding the line on taxes, creating better infrastructure for wireless capacity and by creating better-trained young people for construction, medical,

The first of our priorities should be public safety.

Crime, and particularly property crime, is committed by criminals driven by serious drug problems.

Bill Dimas film and hospitality careers.

And we need to consider the impact of the “living wage.” I have supported the living wage in the past, but automatic increases aren’t necessarily the answer. I propose an in-depth study of its impact on the future of our city.

As mayor, I’ll oversee the development of a five-year plan to set meaningful and attainable goals that will improve our public service.

It starts with the first person that the mayor will hire — the city manager. He or she will be a well-qualified administrator who has managed successfully in the past by forging compromises with diverse groups to achieve clearly defined goals. The city manager will, in turn, select department directors who will be held accountable to improve performance and efficiency throughout city government.

We have more than 400 years of rich tradition upon which to build the future. As mayor of the city of Santa Fe, I will focus on the best that Santa Fe has to offer all citizens while unifying our diverse population. Thank you for your vote of confidence, Santa Fe. Bill Dimas represents District 4 on the City Council.

ome of my fondest memories are of visiting my grandfather on Canyon Road. Abuelo taught me about the acequias, the beauty of Santa Fe and the responsibility we have to cherish the blessings we’ve been given.

Much is often made between old Santa Fe and new, but the beauty of our community is not only in our diversity but in what we hold in common.

While serving on the County Commission, I led the effort to preserve thousands of acres, protect Atalaya Mountain and the ridge tops, set up a water company that dramatically reduced water usage and adopted a land-use plan to prevent sprawl. I am proud that my record led to my endorsement by the Sierraa Club and Mayor David Coss.

Securing our water supply and protecting our environment is not just a matter of finding solutions, it also requires cultivating champions, generation to generation.

Mayor Coss has started the work of restoring the Santa Fe River, thinning the trees in our watershed and reducing our carbon footprint by making 20 percent of city facilities solar-powered.

We need to build on that.

Make 100 percent of city facilities solar. Create Santa Fe Verde, a local green investment fund. It will build a true “community solar garden,” which can provide solar electricity to every business and home. Conduct city energy and water audits, measure results and set up a savings fund that can invest in more sustainability projects.

But just as we cultivate champions for our environment, we need to do this for our children even more.

We grew up with a strong educational system that prepared us for good-paying local jobs. Many of us — like me — were the first in our families to go to college. Today things are different. We need to focus on preparing our youth for good-paying jobs. Fewer than 60 percent graduate high school; 11 percent of teenagers are neither in school nor in a job; 700 of our kids will sleep on the streets tonight.

As chairman of the Board of Regents at New Mexico Highlands University and then as a New Mexico State University regent, I’ve worked to correct the deficiencies of our education system. I am grateful to the two

I believe there is a place in Santa Fe for the children who grow up here, and the talent from around the world who are drawn here.

I believe there is a place in Santa Fe for the children who grow up here, and the talent from around the world who are drawn here.

We’re doing the planning necessary to guarantee that, from creating a Jobs Council to match the needs of the city’s businesses to the education and training we provide, to building a new arts district and positioning our community as the independent film capital with pre- and postproduction capacity.

And we’re engaging our city’s diverse talent in the decisions that will shape our future. We’ve held more than 50 house parties, exchanging ideas with some 1,000 neighbors, and conducted public forums on the environment, women’s issues, education and human rights.

Santa Fe has many blessings. Our campaign is about cultivating many champions to protect them.

County should raise wages

S

anta Fe County will be considering whether to raise its minimum wage this Tuesday — perhaps matching the city of Santa Fe’s “living wage.”

The county could even improve on the city’s ordinance, so far as certain workers are concerned. Commissioner Miguel Chavez wants the ordinance to increase wages for employees who get tips on top of their pay. His proposal would increase wages of such workers to $5.25 an hour, twice what is required in the city.

Currently, the statewide minimum wage is $7.50, with Santa Fe businesses required to pay $10.50 (increasing to $10.66 on March 1). The proposal would require all businesses with a county license, county government and certain contractors with the county to pay the increased wage.

It promises to be a close vote — so if you are interested in supporting decent pay, the meeting begins at 6 p.m. in County Commission chambers, 102 Grant Ave. We would prefer a national minimum wage of around $10 an hour — a fair federal standard makes it harder for one state to undercut another by paying low wages for entry-level jobs. But Congress remains stuck.

The grass-roots movements across the country to raise wages locally aren’t being stymied by congressional inaction, though. Santa Fe passed its living wage back in 2003.

Albuquerque raised its minimum wage to $8.50 by a vote of the people. Various proposals to raise the minimum wage in New Mexico are before the Legislature. Movement is taking place outside New Mexico, of course, with the small city of SeaTac, Wash., authorizing the highest hourly minimum wage in the country, $15.

Raising the minimum wage is essential for working people. The city of Santa Fe has reason to be proud — it was a trailblazer in leading the way toward just wages. Santa Fe County should vote to increase its minimum wage; so should the state of New Mexico and so should the United States of America. Show up Tuesday and let the commission know that citizens stand in favor of decent wages, even for workers at the bottom of the pay scale.

Time to vote on education

T

he battle over whether to dip into New Mexico’s Land Grant Permanent Fund to pay for early childhood education is never-ending. Nearly all sides of the debate — even the most conservative — agree that the education of children in New Mexico needs a shake-up. What we are doing is not working.

With the children of poor people starting kindergarten already behind — as much as a year and a half — the emphasis by many has moved to better and more early childhood education. The number they cite is impressive — a $7 return for every dollar invested in early childhood education.

Deciding to take more from the permanent fund — another 1 percent — could add $100 million a year to pay for early childhood classes. Supporters want the Legislature to approve the Early Learning Constitutional Amendment (Senate Joint Resolution 12) for the ballot so voters can consider a different distribution from the permanent fund. With $13 billion in assets sitting in the fund, supporters say the last-in-the-nation rankings of New Mexico children make now the perfect time to do more.

The worry, as best expressed by financial whiz Sen. John Arthur Smith, is that taking too big a percentage from the permanent fund will draw it down so that decades in the future, when New Mexico needs it, the fund will wither away. Smith is right to sound concerns — a report from the New Mexico Tax Research Institute last week shows that about a third of New Mexico’s general fund revenues are derived from oil and gas. The permanent fund is our retirement account, so to speak.

At the same time, it hardly seems democratic that one person — and that person is Smith — should prevent the proposed constitutional amendment from receiving a vote. Last year, Smith said he knew his Finance Committee would vote down the bill, so he decided not to allow a hearing. That way, the reasoning went, fellow Democratic senators would avoid criticism. His committee, for whatever the reason, should not be the place where funding for early education goes to die without a vote.

It’s time to let the Senate vote, let the House vote, and finally, let the people decide. Over the course of those votes — the proposed constitutional amendment could be defeated either in the Legislature or by the public — we can discuss how the money would be spent, whether the fund would be damaged long-term (there are competing studies, of course) and how best to prepare our children for a life of learning. This year, the discussion and the vote must not stall in committee.

COMMENTARY: JOEL MATHIS AND BEN BOYCHUK

Farm bill: Boondoggle or blessing?

A

lmost nothing happens on a bipartisan basis in Washington these days, but there is one exception: The farm bill. Last week, the Senate easily passed a bill to spend $1 trillion on agriculture and related programs over the next decade. The bill expands crop insurance for farmers, but also cuts food stamps by $90 a month for 1.7 million people in the program. And that’s just the start.

Is the new farm bill a boondoggle or a blessing? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica columnists, debate the issue.

Joel Mathis This is your government in the 21st century: Lawmakers can agree on almost nothing except that profitable businesses need more government subsidies, but out-of-work and poor Americans get less.

This is a bill that guarantees rice farmers never have to worry about having even an average market for their crop.

The Wall Street Journal reports: “The federal subsidy in the House bill guarantees farmers of Japonica Rice that if market prices drop below 115 percent of the average price of all types of rice, they will get a government payment to make up the difference.”

This is a bill that guarantees big profits to giant banks. Think Progress reports: “Much of the roughly $59 billion taxpayers spent on crop insurance programs over the past decade ends up with financial companies rather than farmers. The 18 insurance companies that participate in the federal crop insurance program banked $10 billion in profit over the past decade and have made money on the program every year save two in the past 20.”

This is a bill that subsidizes the sugar

industry. That pays $100 million to promote maple syrup. That gives $200 million to a “market access program,” which gives food companies money to advertise abroad — including, reportedly, an effort to sell American wines to the French.

Good luck with that.

While banks and corporations are counting their taxpayer-funded profits, though, actual hungry Americans might go just a bit hungrier — some food stamp recipients will lose up to $90 a month from their meal subsidies. Too bad they don’t have Congress lining up to do their bids.

“This thousand-page, trillion-dollar mess is less a compromise between House Republicans and Senate Democrats than it is collusion between both parties against the American people, to benefit the special interests at the expense of the national interest,” Republican Sen. Mike Lee wrote about the farm bill. He’s right.

Conservatives say the government shouldn’t pick winners and losers. That’s precisely what the farm bill does. It’s a bipartisan boondoggle.

Ben Boychuk On this, liberals and conservatives can agree: the farm bill is an affront to the principles of small government, fiscal prudence and good sense. There is simply nothing “conservative” about the 10-year, $1 trillion monstrosity and Republicans should be ashamed to have voted for it.

But vote they did. Even some tea party stalwarts caved. In the end, just 63 House Republicans had the nerve to buck their party’s leadership and vote against the bill. And to what end?

Farmers aren’t hurting. Not the big ones, anyway — and the big ones are the

major beneficiaries of the bill. According to the Department of Agriculture, U.S. farmers last year earned a net income of $131 billion, up 7 percent from the previous year. Did your income grow 7 percent last year? If so, lucky you! In reality, of course, most U.S. families have seen their incomes stagnate or decline in the years since the Great Recession.

The farm bill’s supporters point to its “reforms,” which include eliminating direct payments to farmers. But the subsidies aren’t gone; they’re just really well hidden. Now, the government will further subsidize crop insurance, which farmers can collect when prices fall below a certain threshold — not unlike the old direct payment system.

What’s more, the new bill permanently enshrines the sugar subsidy, which the American Enterprise Institute’s Tim Carmody rightly described as “Washington’s least defensible corporate welfare boondoggle.” And that’s saying something!

Liberals detest that the bill cuts $8 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — food stamps. But that amounts to about 1 percent of the budget over the next decade from a program rife with fraud and abuse.

So the farm bill reforms practically nothing, yet U.S. consumers can expect to pay more for anything containing sugar, just as they’re already paying more for corn, for wheat, for soybeans, and for milk.

Who benefits then? Not taxpayers, obviously. Any way you slice it, corporate welfare for agribusiness not only survives, it thrives under this awful bill.

It’s Black History Month: Get educated

D

espite the standard Black History Month lessons you may have been taught in school, there’s much more to the story than slavery, civil rights and an ever-growing list of “firsts.”

Henry Louis Gates Jr., founding director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University and The Root’s editor-inchief, who recently wrote and executiveproduced PBS’ six-part series, African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, knows that well.

Here, the historian highlights a set of his favorite triumphant, unexpected, adventurous and otherwise fascinating stories. There’s the saga of 12 Years a Slave author Solomon Northup, plus 17 other tales, each of which could provide the basis of its own gripping feature film.

They’re all part of the black experience in America, and they’re all, according to Gates, African American history events you’ll want to know about.

1513: A century before the first “20 and odd” Africans arrived in Jamestown, Va., in 1619, Juan Garrido, a black African Spanish conquistador, docked on the shores of modern-day Florida. He later helped Hernan Cortés take Mexico before moving on to California in search of gold.

1515: A black explorer known as Esteban the Moor — just one of four survivors of a Spanish expedition (and went through New Mexico) that went horribly wrong — served as a guide and translator for his companions, walked 15,000 miles by 1536 and saw more of the North American continent than any

explorers would until Lewis and Clark.

Late 17th century: The first Underground Railroad from slavery to freedom ran south to Florida, at the time still a Spanish colony.

1738: Former slaves established Fort Mose, Fla., as the first all-black town in what would become the United States.

1776: Harry Washington, one of George Washington’s slaves, ran away from Mount Vernon in Virginia and ultimately joined the British Army. At the war’s end, he found safe haven in the British zone in New York. In July 1783, onboard a ship named L’Abondance, along with 405 other black men, women and children, 43-year-old Harry set sail with his wife, Jenny, for Nova Scotia and freedom, in a settlement they named “Birchtown.”

1786: The first sit-in — a refusal to worship from the “black pews” — took place at a Philadelphia church.

1792: Benjamin Banneker, having helped survey the nation’s capital, published his first almanac, with a copy to Thomas Jefferson urging him to live up to the ideals of his Declaration of Independence.

1849: Henry “Box” Brown mailed himself from slavery in Richmond, Va., to freedom in Philadelphia — 250 miles in 27 hours.

1853: Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, emerged from 12 years of captivity as a slave in Louisiana; his memoir, 12 Years a Slave, quickly became a best-seller.

1862: Robert Smalls sailed from slavery to freedom, capturing a Confederate

cotton steamer in Charleston, S.C., during the American Civil War. 1865: The first “Juneteenth” was celebrated in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, when, after the Civil War, news of the Emancipation finally arrives.

1870: Hiram Revels of Mississippi was sworn in as the first African American to serve in the U.S. Senate; it took another 143 years for two African American senators to serve at the same time (Tim Scott and William “Mo” Cowan).

1887: Mound Bayou, Miss., an all-black town, was founded by former slaves.

1906: Madam C.J. Walker, the first African American woman to become a self-made millionaire, began selling her Wonderful Hair Grower in Denver.

1918: Oscar Micheaux produced his first silent film, The Homesteader. He would go on to make 44 films, becoming the most successful (and significant) African American filmmaker of the first half of the 20th century.

919: The Harlem Hellfighters returned home from World War I with the prestigious Croix de Guerre from the French army.

1960: Following the February 1960 sit-ins in Greensboro, N.C., Ella Baker and Martin Luther King Jr. called a conference of student activists at Shaw University. The result of this April meeting was a student-led organization known as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

1971: Soul Train premiered on U.S. television on Oct. 2; its impresario, Don Cornelius, shaped African American music, culture and style for a generation.

A mere 60 percent picked up diplomas.

Yes, funding is essential for education, but at the same time, money alone is hardly the answer. There has to be accountability for the tax dollars spent and on the national and statewide levels, it’s logical to ask: Why spend more on a system that isn’t producing results?

Some argue for more emphasis on boosting the number of young people with college degrees. Perhaps, but I’d argue the focus should be on making sure our kids can perform essential tasks before they get to college. Too many employers complain of high school graduates who cannot write declarative sentences or perform basic math.

And once in college, it’s important that students major in disciplines bestsuited for a competitive global job market.

A 25-year-old with a master’s degree in chemical engineering might have a decent shot at landing a job at Los

Alamos. A 25-year-old with a master’s in philosophy has a decent chance at a job pouring shots at Señor Frog’s.

Which brings us to the minimumwage debate. Santa Fe and San Francisco are neck-and-neck for the highest minimum wage in the country at well more than $10 an hour, and the Santa Fe County Commission is on the verge of extending it across the county. At a recent commission meeting, a local merchant spoke in favor of the raise, saying she pays her employees more than 10 bucks an hour and her business hasn’t been hurt. Good for her, but that doesn’t mean the small-business owner down the street who is barely scraping by won’t be.

Having said that, the political reality is, the minimum-wage rate is going to go up. Whenever it’s put up to a vote (as it was in Albuquerque last fall), voters approve it, and when Bill O’Reilly is firmly on the side of bringing the hourly rate to $10.10 (which he is), it’s a fait accompli.

But raising the minimum wage merely treats one symptom of America’s economic problems. Plus, there are plenty of unintended consequences — such as increasing the pressure on inflation.

And on the ground, there will be more incentives for companies to automate. Just as we see kiosks when we check in at the airport, expect to see them soon at fast-food restaurants.

The workers at McDonald’s may get $10.10 an hour, but I suspect that instead of seven employees working one shift, we’ll end up seeing four.

The truth is, we cannot act like King Canute and stand on the shore, hoping to hold back the tide of a global economy.

That’s something to ponder as we — in the words of one of my readers — make way for the $10 Big Mac. You can contact Rob Nikolewski at the website he edits, www.newmexico watchdog.org.

Crime, walkability essential issues

For District 3: Equity Time for citizens and empowerment to take power back

I

I

n asking you for your vote, I can say I know we have experienced a distressing amount of home burglaries and property crime over the last decade.

We must take a comprehensive approach to prevent and dramatically reduce these crimes. We can strategize our available resources to grow jobs from within, close the wage gap for women and target at-risk youth. They need nurturing programs — school completion initiatives, parental training, youth employment opportunities and afterschool recreation programs that will point our young people down the path of heightened self-esteem and a desire for strong personal development.

At the same time, I understand the relationship between the physical design and layout of our community and its bearing on illegal activity. We can advance partnerships between citizens and city departments that will make the necessary changes to our environment to discourage criminal activity. This involves support for bricks and mortar for neighborhood associations to run community activities and encouragement of pedestrian circulation wherever possible.

Imagine a beautifully clean city with a well-designed and maintained infrastructure — beautified streets, parks and trails, strategic lighting and quality roads plowed during a snowstorm. Physical harmony and balance promote

the setting in which we can lead healthy lives.

Energized individuals carry out programs such as Marie NeighborCampos hood Watch; we can lend a municipal hand by assisting them at all levels. Having a productive, ongoing dialogue with citizens to help them put into place workable burglary prevention strategies is a must. At the same time, we can shore up the Santa Fe Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit, which presently has only four officers. A higher patrol visibility in our neighborhoods also is crucial and something I will work with police to make happen.

While citizens should never look to municipal officials to solve all of their problems, citizens who vote for us and pay city workers’ salaries with their taxes have a right to expect a partnership that is both strong and effective.

As I am proud to be a Santa Fean, I also know that my potential constituents also love this city. And they have a right to feel safe here. This is something that we in honest government can help with.

I look forward to uniting with those in my district to explore ways to make us all both prosperous and secure.

Marie Campos is a candidate for Santa Fe City Council, District 3, with ballot position 3.

am running for City Council because I have a deep appreciation and love of my community. I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to serve in the capacity of a city councilor on behalf of the people I call my friends and neighbors.

I have invested close to 20 years of my life as a public servant, because my parents taught me how important it was to not only get involved but to give back to others. I have lived in my district for more than 26 years. I was raised in Santa Fe and now I have raised my two boys on the south side, where many years ago we chose to live.

This community is enriching, it is exciting and it deserves to be recognized for the many wonderful things it has to offer Santa Fe. I learned early on from my work as a homeowners association president that service is about listening to and trying to understand people — where they come from and why certain issues are important to them. Before my current term as a city councilor in District 3, I also served as a member of the Santa Fe school board and on the city’s Planning Commission.

My vision for District 3 is the same as it has always been.

Equity. We simply want to receive our fair share of amenities and quality of life in our community so that our children (where the majority of Santa Fe’s children reside) are empowered and have a path to a state-of-the-art education, better choices within our neighborhood markets and a safe community that fosters and cares for our children.

District 3, more than any other area of Santa Fe, represents our future. My vision is that we rise to the challenge to ensure that we have a dedicated and trained workforce, so that our students can earn good wages in a clean environment. We owe this and much more to our children so that one day, if they choose, they can raise their own families right here in our beloved Santa Fe.

I lamented when a 14-year-old Mexicana told me her father just beat her with a belt. She was also the girlfriend of the assassin. I lived as two of my close friends hung themselves on the unattainable basketball goal, at the age of 19. I’ve seen enough.

I assisted a 16-year-old white boy when he was getting kicked out of his house by his sister. I helped seven 14-year-old Mexicano boys get off cocaine, except for one who graduated but is now hooked on heroin. I personally made sure more than 200 students graduated from Capital High School in 2012. I redistributed more than $600,000 dollars of America’s wealth to almost 1,000 youth in Santa Fe. I now

redistribute more than $500,000 annually to Santa Fe’s south side at RamirezThomas, César Angelo Jaramillo Chávez and Ortiz schools, taking care of the little ones.

I need your help to redistribute more wealth to more of our children and families.

I redistribute $9 million annually to more than 14,000 students at 102 after-school site centers statewide to lowincome communities. I still need your help. I remember redistributing about $4,000 to south-side parents, mainly Mexicano and Hispanic — what’s the difference — when they were ripped off by school administration to the tune of $12,000 they couldn’t afford. I don’t know what happened to the balance. I heard it disappeared in an account. I need your help to take power back.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Governor should rein in bullies in state government T he governor has made it clear she considers child abuse a serious issue demanding her attention. In fairness, no one could question her sincerity on this matter.

I was 8 years old the last time I saw my mother alive, when she was being hauled away in a straitjacket. No one would want to imagine the terror and ordeal that preceded this event.

As an adult, I find myself forced to relive the same anxiety and fear that I lived through as a child.

It’s no secret there are bullies in management of state government. Bullies who abuse their authority, bullies who pursue self-serving agendas, more than the interests of the citizens of the state.

The governor is demanding the public take greater responsibility for reporting abuse; why isn’t she acting on the reported abuse under her control? The governor has absolute control over the people she has appointed — only she can end the abuse. I appeal to her to act in accordance with the same standard she expects of the rest of us.

Nothing to celebrate As a physician and public health advocate, I was disappointed and

somewhat appalled to see the large front-page photograph in The Santa Fe New Mexican showing sports fans “celebrating” the Super Bowl (“Denver fans disappointed as Seattle wins Super Bowl,” Feb. 3). I would point out that you list multiple DWI arrests daily and frequently cover local, fatal DWI automobile accidents and substance abuse domestic altercations.

Join in for Gonzales I want to assure the best officials are chosen to lead my treasured city of Santa Fe. We Santa Feans have the opportunity to make a difference in who becomes mayor. I’ve lived in Santa Fe since 1965 and want to add my voice to those who have spoken on behalf of Javier Gonzales. He represents where I want to see Santa Fe’s future lead.

The organizations and people who have known all three candidates for years already have chosen Javier: the Sierra Club, Mayor David Coss, AFSCME (the union representing city, county and state employees), the heads of Conservation Voters and New Energy Economy, past and present city councilors, almost all the

teachers’, public workers’, film and construction unions, past and present school board members and many of my personal friends.

I urge you, most of all, to vote in the March municipal election, and to join me in electing Javier Gonzales.

Joan Murphy

Sensible solutions I support Javier Gonzales for mayor of Santa Fe. He recognizes the problems facing us and will explore sensible solutions. He has the necessary experience and background, and a long, long list of impressive endorsements from teachers unions, the film union, public employees union, Mayor David Coss and other community leaders.

I have big concerns about the environment, especially water. Javier Gonzales plans to reach out to the entire region and other states to work cooperatively on this dilemma. Bill deBuys, the Sierra Club, the directors of Conservation Voters New Mexico and New Energy Economy and other prominent environmentalists have endorsed him.

The public environmental conversation, hosted by Gonzales, included a dynamic panel of respected speakers and can be viewed in part here: http:// bit.ly/MvjBFx.

Javier Gonzales is a strong and congenial leader who listens. He will be effective. He is the best candidate for mayor.

Our health remains our personal responsibility.

Seth Rosenthal

Take notice Recently, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Surgeon General’s first report on health hazards of cigarette smoking, his office released a report linking smoking to several new chronic diseases. Those include diabetes, erectile dysfunction, cancer of the colon and liver, and stroke.

Parallels between cigarette smoking and meat consumption are uncanny: u The chronic diseases linked to both activities and the associated costs of medical care and lost productivity are comparable; u The first government reports warning consumers about health hazards of cigarette smoking and meat consumption were issued in 1964 (by Surgeon General) and in 1977 (by Senate Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs), respectively; u The first warning labels on cigarette and meat packaging were required in 1966 and 1994, respectively; But there is one important difference: The meat industry impacts more state economies with stronger congressional

Our water future The New Mexico Legislature just moved one step closer to protecting the Gila River and potentially saving New Mexican taxpayers millions of dollars on an unnecessary water diversion and pipeline project. As a birdwatcher and active supporter of Audubon’s Western Rivers Initiative, I applaud Sens. Peter Wirth and Howie Morales for co-sponsoring Senate Bill 89.

Instead of spending on a project to divert the Gila River, the bill directs the Interstate Stream Commission to spend no less than $82 million of available federal funding on locally supported non-diversion practices such as municipal and agricultural water conservation, watershed restoration, and sustainable groundwater use projects. SB 89 has been found germane. It can help secure Southwestern New Mexico’s water future while protecting the region’s thriving outdoor recreation economy.

MY VIEW: JON HENDRY

State needs to have debate on fair taxation I

n regard to the editorial on the “hold-harmless” elimination (“A taxing solution to hold-harmless,” Jan. 30) over the next 15 years: First, let’s be clear what we’re talking about.

“Hold-harmless” was to compensate cities and counties for losses from taxes that we had been charging on food and medicine, which begs the question, should we be charging tax on essentials in the first place? This was one of the most regressive taxes possible, and we applaud Gov. Bill Richardson and the Democratic Legislature for rescinding that burden on working

families. Eliminating “hold-harmless” puts more money into the state budget, where our education funding comes from. If City Councilor Patti Bushee or anyone else would like to argue Jon that we shouldn’t Hendry emphasis educational funding, then I’m happy to have that debate.

“Hold-harmless” was always on its way out. It was a temporary fix needed

to achieve support at the time for the elimination of the food and medicine tax. As The New Mexican correctly pointed out, we need to look for alternatives that ask those who can most afford to pay to replace the revenue to cities, including the city of Santa Fe. Personally, I am in whole-hearted agreement that we need to tax Internet sales. I also supported the transfer tax for houses over $500,000. I would, in addition, look to a localized income tax so those who work in the city but live in outlying communities — as far away as Rio Rancho or Los Lunas (where

we see the Santa Fe Police Department cars driving to regularly) — pay for the city services they use. That’s just me, though.

This isn’t an immediate crisis, however. Due almost entirely to the part of the compromise tax bill of 2013 — including the Breaking Bad bill’s increase in support for film — Santa Fe has seen almost $3 million in additional gross receipts tax revenue in the first six months of the fiscal year.

This covers us from potential losses in “hold-harmless” revenues for many years ahead. We have the luxury of

being able to use these increased taxes to have a debate on fair taxation. New Mexico film workers are kicking things off with a panel in Morgan Hall at the State Land Office at 9:30 a.m. Monday, with a panel titled, “Equitable Alternatives to the Food and Medicine Tax.” Please feel free to join us.

THE DRAWING BOARD THE WEEK IN CARTOONS

MY VIEW: KAMAJOU TADFOR

Remembering Mandela: Santa Fe honors the man N elson Mandela’s death on Dec. 5, 2013, came as no surprise to anyone.

After all, he was an old man.

His longevity was a miracle in itself considering the many near-death encounters he experienced in his lifetime. He also had been very ill for a number of years toward the end of his life, and some people were actually anticipating his death as evidenced by the journalists’ circus around the hospital where he lay sick, while family members were ambushed with questions like, “Is he dead yet?”

Still the news, when it came, was no less devastating. We were numbed with shock and grief, with feelings of waste and emptiness. I remember mindlessly watching television and seeing shrines sprouting up in his honor in cities across the world and thinking, “We need a vigil for Mandela in Santa Fe,” this eclectic city different. But before I could turn off the TV and come out of my stupor, the funeral had taken place in Qunu and Barack Obama had flown home.

Fortunately, Mandela’s life is a catalogue of memorable moments and opportunities for celebration. Primary among these moments would be Feb. 11, 1990, when the gates of Vic-

tor Vester prison were thrown open and out walked our hero, a free man after 27 years in captivity. He had gone into prison on Robben Island as an angry young man, but he came out Feb. 11, 1990, as a much-transformed and wiser man. The guerrilla war that he had set in motion, and for which he was initially imprisoned, was raging when he was released (perhaps partially to defuse a looming panorama of violence?), and South Africa was at the edge of descending into a vast bloodbath, but Mandela’s guidance diffused this enormous crisis.

Mandela’s release was not the sudden magnanimous act it has been made to appear. The apartheid regime had been holding talks with him for several years, trying to extricate itself from madness it had created. He had become, even while imprisoned, a real thorn in their side, much like Gandhi, who continued to lead the independence movement in India while still imprisoned. Back in 1985, Prime Minister Botha had offered to release Mandela if he would retire quietly to some native Bantustan and stay out of politics. Mandela responded with a letter released through his daughter, declining such conditions and linking

his captivity with the plight of the people. “What freedom am I being offered while the organization of the people [ANC] remains banned? Only free men can negotiate. A prisoner cannot enter into contracts? I shall return.”

Later, when Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts, we often wondered how in the world he could have been given the award along with former Prime Minister De Klerk, who, after all, only released him because he had to. Nelson was nonetheless gracious in sharing this great honor.

He went on to lead his nation as president and to lead the world, truly, as the most profound international beacon of conciliation and perseverance.

On Tuesday (Feb. 11), Afreeka Santa Fe, in association with The Screen at The Santa Fe University Of Art and Design, will pay tribute to the man, Nelson Mandela. Please come at 7 p.m. for an evening of film, poetry, tributes, songs and remembrances.

Because of Mandela, you will walk away with a renewed feeling of vigor and faith in nonviolence, forgiveness and perseverance. All are welcome!

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 9, 1914: Ogden, Utah — Owing to a crisis in the beet sugar industry due to tariff changes, the members of the executive committee of the United States sugar industry, an organization made up of representatives of all the large sugar companies from California to Michigan, is holding a special election by telegraph in naming a successor to John L. Howard, whose sudden death in San Francisco two weeks ago during the sensational trial of the Western Fuel company, created a vacancy in the chairmanship and as a result Judge H.H. Rolapp, of the Amalgamated Sugar company, of Ogden, has been selected to that position. The chairman of the executive committee is virtually head of the combined beet industry of the United States.

Feb. 9, 1964: Gov. Jack M. Campbell has declared San Miguel County to be an emergency area, and set in motion a massive coordinated effort to prevent loss of live and property during

the vicious winter storms.

Campbell met nearly an hour yesterday afternoon with Adj. Gen. John P. Jolly, State Police Chief K.K. Miller and Harry Naugle, New Mexico’s civil defense director.

After consultation with Jolly, the governor decided to declare San Miguel County an emergency area. Yesterday he declared Quay and Union counties to be emergency areas, and authorized the use of the National Guard for all assistance needed.

Feb. 9, 1989: Washington — Organized crime soon will control legalized gambling on Indian reservations if the federal government doesn’t act, a gambling manager for a mob organization told a Senate subcommittee.

The secret witness told the panel that organized-crime families already run 12 of the 90 Indian gambling operations that he knows about. Fifty percent of the operations have some link to organized crime, usually through the purchase of supplies from Mafia-owned companies.

Flynn wrong for Environment Department

L

MY VIEW: TERRI ROLLAND

State’s beauty is not for sale L

ast month, the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s Transportation Commission quietly passed a bill easing restrictions on billboards and allowing for the construction of digital billboards on our highways.

The room was packed with lobbyists from the powerful billboard industry, including Clear Channel. The Transportation Commission is made up of six appointed businessmen from across the state, and their vote was swift and unanimous.

Those of us citizens who spoke in opposition had two minutes each to try to convince these commissioners to vote against allowing the billboard industry to ruin our beautiful vistas and open spaces.

As someone who spoke at this meeting, I want to call attention to this disturbing event.

I am convinced that these six commissioners do not speak for the people of our state and are unconcerned about regulating an industry that has run wild for years. I am deeply concerned that these men have sold the soul of our beautiful state to the billion-dollar billboard industry, and I am dismayed to see the power wielded by media giants like Clear Channel Outside and CBS Outdoors in our state. It was an alarming display of money and politics. If you care about the beauty and the integrity of our state, and if you want to live with views of the mountains and sky without ugly advertising and lights, this is your wake-up call.

Let’s try to stop this giveaway before it’s too late.

Particularly heinous are digital LED billboards. Ugly, blinding and distracting, they cast a glow of light obliterating the night sky for miles. The industry sees digital signs as the future of outdoor advertising, and they are engaged in a fullcourt press to get as many of the signs up as quickly as they can around the country. New Mexico is one of the few places in the country where you can see the Milky Way. The sky is our commons — connecting us to the universe and to ourselves.

The planets, the Orion Nebula, the Beehive Cluster: We can see these celestial wonders with the naked eye right now, here Terri in Santa Fe. Rolland But our crystal-clear night sky is becoming fainter as the glow from city lights, highway lights and billboards casts light upward. From Santa Fe, look southward at night: an ominous glow of light from Albuquerque obliterates much of the south sky and compromises the rest. What will happen when digital billboards are allowed on Interstate 25? The state of New Mexico should be protecting our natural wonders, not handing them off to corporations to feed their greed for profit at any cost.

There is still time to fight this thing. Scenic New Mexico is calling for a moratorium on all new billboards in the state.

This process needs to be slowed down and given the time and publicity it deserves. Concerning digital LED billboards, there are two straightforward demands: That a billboard consultant be hired by the state who has no connection to the billboard industry to help formulate regulations and that all state regulations concerning digital LED billboards come from the state Legislature as a law and be signed by the governor.

Call your state representatives and tell them you are opposed to the recent vote. Tell them you want a moratorium on new billboards until this debacle has been addressed.

Tell them the beauty of our land and skies is not for sale.

ast year, a New Mexico Environment Department employee discarded a technical advisory committee’s draft of a copper-mining rule that was supposed to protect our drinking water and replaced it with a copper-mining corporation’s wish list.

Since then, Gov. Susana Martinez has nominated that employee to be secretary of the Environment Department. His confirmation hearing could be held any day now during the current legislative session.

Ryan Flynn came to the Environment Department from Modrall-Sperling, the law firm that represents Freeport-McMoRan, that copper-mining company that wrote its own copper-mining rules.

Flynn doesn’t have much background in environmental policy, but he does know how to cut and paste.

The rule Flynn drafted “reflects the wholesale acceptance by NMED’s upper management of virtually all comments submitted by [copper-mining company] Freeport-McMoRan, Inc.,” according to the New Mexico Environmental Law Center.

Freeport is the largest publicly traded copper company in the world, with billions of dollars in profits. It operates three copper mines in southwestern New Mexico.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014: This year you could go from being intellectual and innovative to emotional and unstructured. This seesaw effect could take a toll on your immediate circle. Be understanding if they lose it at times. If you are single, traveling will pave the way to you meeting a new person and possibly beginning a new relationship, especially after June.

If you are attached, you need to remain sensitive to your significant other. This person might be having strong reactions to your newfound duality. Cancer is moody yet changeable.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You won’t be able to change someone’s mood, even as determined as you are. Use your high energy to help this person revitalize him- or herself. Some of you might start a mock fight, just to get this person going.

Tonight: Head home, then decide.

This Week: You might have difficulty getting the week started, but you will have no choice.

This Week: You perk up midweek.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be more in tune with a situation than you realize. Your drive to help someone loosen up might cause him or her to close down. Make a point to have such a great time that the other party can’t resist joining in. Tonight: A little out of control.

This Week: Listen to your gut about money matters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Check in on a loved one. This person depends on you and your attention more than you realize. Take your time with this person. Ultimately, you know what you need to do. Plan some frivolous fun later on today.

Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday?

This Week: Use Monday and Tuesday to the max. Lie low from that point on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to hear more of what is going on later in the day. You’ll need downtime, as you have pushed very hard and could be tenser than you realize. Take an extra nap and/or re-energize in a different way.

Tonight: Join others.

This Week: You hit your power days Monday and Tuesday.

Realize that people naturally relax around you. Join a friend or loved one, and go watch a game somewhere. Others seem to gravitate toward you, no matter what you are up to. Tonight: Where the gang is.

This Week: Work with individuals, not groups. You will see the rewards.

efore last week, the only other Gene I was ever mistaken for was Gene Shalit, the oddball TV movie reviewer with the ludicrous fright-wig hair and totally goofy mustache, a man I happen to physically resemble quite a bit. So I’ve always been a little testy on the subject of mistaken identity.

Then something remarkable happened. On Twitter, I got a message in Spanish from a young man in Madrid named Fernando Valentin. He was thanking me for having “saved Christmas.” This left me a little puzzled, because I do not recall ever specifically saving Christmas, except for the time I helped a plumber unclog the sewage line from my house the day before a big holiday party, eliminating (ha ha) the need Gene for a festive emergency rental portaWeingarten potty in my front yard. But that was The Washington a personal Christmas-saving achievePost ment, word of which is unlikely to have reached Europe.

My confusion was instantly cleared up. In his tweet, Fernando included a link to a photo of me, which turned out to not be of me at all. It was a photo of Gene Simmons, the frontman for the hard rock band Kiss, which, as I discovered, once saved Santa Claus from a pterodactyl on an episode of Family Guy. Clearly, Mr. Valentin had somehow conflated the two Genes. I must admit this was not quite as ego-thrashing as the Shalit mistake: Gene Simmons is said to have bedded 5,000 women. I decided I could live with that particular mistaken identity.

Now, I don’t want to brag, but I did have something of a brush with rock superstardom. One day in 1987, I played harmonica for the Urban Professionals, a band formed by Dave Barry for the sole purpose of performing a blues song he wrote about Tupperware, before a convention of 1,000 Tupperware distributors. I was the second most accomplished musician in our four-man band, after Dave, who could actually play his instrument competently and who, as he correctly noted in a column, was the only member of the band who knew for sure when the song began and ended.

The other two band members were the dancers, Tom and Lou, who moved (as Dave wrote) “in what they presumably thought was unison.”

But I doubted that Fernando, in Madrid, had known about my pro tour; I assumed he got confused because Simmons and I are both Genes, and both are dynamic, public personalities adored by the masses. So I tweeted Fernando back, in Spanish, forgiving his mistake. I figured he’d ask for my autograph. Instead, he sheepishly informed me that he’d had no idea who I was, that he’d carelessly clicked on the first option Twitter gave him after he typed @Gene, and for some reason, that option was me. (The second was Simmons.)

OK, fine. Still, Twitter had us one-two, in that order, joined at the hip! I decided to get to know my celebrity twin better, which is when I encountered an audio file of an NPR interview Simmons had done with Terry Gross in 2002.

Simmons informs the flabbergasted host, without any sense of playfulness or irony, that if she wished to greet him with open arms, she was also going to have to greet him “with open legs.” Also, that if she wanted his bod, she’d better stay sober: “If you were in my room and we were going to have a liaison, and you were high, you’d be out on your butt before you could spell your last name. Because if you don’t want to experience me with all the senses God gave you, you don’t deserve to be with me.” It may be the single most ego-besotted, obnoxious performance in the history of radio.

Just last week, on Twitter, a young French woman, who writes only in French, started following me. I decided not to ask why.

Wedding guide helps same-sex couples Santa Fe woman launches online publication for those seeking gay-friendly businesses

By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

When Laura André wanted to marry her partner in 2011, the two women headed to New York — which had just legalized same-sex marriage — to tie the knot.

They had a lovely venue in the form of a friend’s home in Hud-

son, André said, but finding the food, florists and other related services in a town other than their own proved to be a little trickier for the couple.

The friend who hosted the wedding made some good suggestions, “but they were a little spendy for our budget,” said André, 48, a Web designer and

art historian. “So, we were stuck Googling and cold-calling, and we ran into some mediocre, lessthan-enthusiastic responses.”

“It was stressful, hit-or-miss and sometimes deflating,” André wrote in an introduction to her new wedding guide for gay couples — Same-Sex Santa Fe Weddings, an online-only publication that went live Feb. 3 — “especially because some vendors were not

Panel looks at ‘lifeline of ecosystem’ Talks in Albuquerque to highlight importance of watersheds

Courting a conservationist office first met with Bacon, the billionaire donated 167,000 acres of the Blanca-Trinchera Ranch to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a conservation easement.

For Salazar, securing the easement meant protecting a huge swath of wildlife habitat near his old stomping grounds (Salazar grew up in the San Luis Valley). The deal created a bond between Salazar and Bacon, who recently announced they would serve as “honorary co-chairmen” of a nonpartisan political action committee — America’s Conservation PAC — aimed at electing conservation-minded candidates.

TAOS n 2010, then-Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar’s office got a tip from a former staffer about a conservation opportunity in the San Luis Valley: A New York billionaire had bought 170,000 acres a few years back and was curious about keeping the property undeveloped. “[The staffer] told us he was very private and a Republican, but that he was a good guy,” said Ken Lane, a longtime adviser to Salazar.

The Republican in question was Louis Bacon — a New York hedge fund manager and billionaire who has bought Taos Ski Valley from the Blake family, who founded the resort. With an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, Bacon is No. 371 on Forbes magazine’s list of the richest people in America.

He also is among the top 50 landowners in the country, owning an estimated 216,000 acres, according to The Land Report magazine.

New TV pilot comes to New Mexico ALBUQUERQUE — A new television series is setting its sights on New Mexico.

In the 1880s, explorer and surveyor John Wesley Powell tried to convince Congress that Western states’ boundaries should be based on natural watersheds, not geopolitical interests.

Had Powell succeeded, New Mexico would look entirely different and surely would have handled its water resources differently, as well, said Jack Loeffler, a jazz trumpeter turned watershed advocate.

Watersheds are the land forms, mountains, canyons and mesas that drain rain and snowmelt into streams and rivers. Powell described a watershed as “that area of land, a bounded hydrologic system, within which all living things are inextricably linked by A USGS map by John their common water Wesley Powell shows course and where, as drainages and watersheds humans settled, simple in the Annual Report to the U.S. Geological logic demanded that Survey, 1889-1890. they become part of a community.”

Western watersheds are the lifeline for ecosystems and all human endeavors. Those watersheds are under siege from increased human populations, drought, development and climate change. Five monthly panels of New Mexican experts, led by Loeffler, will talk about the importance of watersheds and how to protect them. The first talk is Thursday at the KiMo Theatre in Albuquerque.

“Our watersheds are gravely endangered for myriad reasons, not the least of which is that water is becoming less abundant, both on the surface of the land and in the aquifers beneath us,” Loeffler wrote in a recent paper.

The panel discussions will look, too, at where things now stand for water in the West. “We’ll look at the lowering water levels in Lake Powell and Lake Mead,” Loeffler said. “Not only does that jeopardize the water for Southern California big time, serving over 25 million people, but also as it gets too far down, it will no longer be capable of generating hydroelectric power, which means, then what? Will there be more coal-fired power plants to provide electricity, but contribute to global warming?

Ambulance hijacked with sleeping worker ALBUQUERQUE — Authorities say an Albuquerque ambulance worker catching some sleep in the back of his vehicle woke up to find himself the victim of a carjacking.

Police have arrested a man and a woman accused of driving off in the ambulance around 3 a.m. Saturday while it was parked outside Lovelace Medical Center in downtown Albuquerque.

Police spokesman Elder Guevara says the employee was asleep in the vehicle’s rear but was able to jump out when the ambulance slowed near an intersection.

Officers then pursued the ambulance as it headed eastbound, and then westbound, on Interstate 40.

The ambulance finally came to a rest on I-40, over Tramway, after authorities used spikes to deflate the ambulance’s tires.

Police have not released the names of the suspects or the victim, who was uninjured.

Unless people have a grasp of the interrelationships between the factors that impact the very watersheds on which they depend, they will be unable to make the right choices for stopping the damage, he said.

Loeffler wrote Thinking Like a Watershed and produced the radio program Watersheds as Commons. He also is project director of the nonprofit Lore of the Land.

The first panel in the series will explore the history of humans and their water use in the Western landscape.

The talk will range from the lasting effects of Manifest Destiny on indigenous cultures to climate change. The panelists include authors William

deBuys and John Nichols, and Patty Limerick, director of the Center for the American West.

The other William panels will deBuys feature indigenous perspectives on land and water (March 27), the perspectives of rural people (April 24), water law and how interstate stream compacts have affected development (May 29), and the privatization of shared water resources (June 26).

The panels are made possible in part through support from the New Mexico Humanities Council.

at all interested in working with a same sex-couple.”

With the help of friends, André and her bride — New Mexico Magazine editor Candace Walsh — were able to pull off their celebration. A married lesbian couple catered their dinner, and they found a gay makeup artist who reveled in telling Walsh about his own childhood, growing up with two moms, while he applied her eyeliner.

When New Mexico became the 17th state in the nation to legalize samesex marriage in 2013, André saw an opportunity to help other gay couples avoid the hassles she had faced and to capitalize on the state’s potential as a same-sex wedding destination.

“We want to help couples like us,” André said Friday. “I believe the state stands to benefit a great deal from tourism from people coming from out of state to get married here when they can’t in their own state, and we are hoping to augment that.”

André writes in an introduction to the new publication that she looks forward to the time “when a need for a resource like this is obsolete — when same-sex marriage is just marriage.”

Inside the guide, that time is now.

Besides introductory tales about André’s own experiences, photos of same-sex couples locked in loving embraces and the guide’s title, the 87-page publication is very much like any other wedding guide.

It features listings for venues, cakes, catering, flowers, lodging, officiants and music — many of them quite mainstream. The list of caterers includes Santa Fe standards such as Cowgirl BBQ , Peas

‘n’ Pod and Walter Burke Catering, for example.

The guide also includes some national chain stores. Sam’s Club is listed under “Florists and Décor.” André noted that the bulk retailer had a booth at a recent LGBT wedding expo held at a local hotel.

“Two gentlemen manned the booth and brought a bunch of cupcakes, and they were like, ‘yeah we’re totally in to it,’ ” she said.

A note on the guide’s Web page boasts that André “spent dozens of hours gathering and vetting Santa Fe’s best and gayfriendliest wedding vendors, honeymoon ideas, group activities and more.” But André — who moved to New Mexico in 2003 and to Santa Fe in 2010 — acknowledged she hasn’t personally sampled the services of most of the vendors in the publication.

Her vetting process, she said, consisted mostly of asking vendors whether they would like to be featured in a guide

aimed at same-sex couples.

“I was really pleased that so many people responded positively and enthusiastically. … There was a tide of momentum that various vendors were excited about.

It opens up a whole new client base for them, and it’s certainly good for business,” she said.

André pointed out that many local vendors don’t have strong ties with the gay community and appreciated the opportunity to reach out to same-sex couples.

And the guide also gives straight couples a chance to support businesses that don’t discriminate. “There are a lot of heterosexual couples who want to support people and businesses who also support gay equality,” she said.

André said no one she contacted outright refused to be in the guide, but some vendors didn’t respond to repeated attempts to reach them to discuss the project.

Their silence, André writes in a preface to the guide, “spoke volumes.”

The guide can be purchased at www. samesexsantafe.com for $4.99. Listings are free, but the guide does offer paid advertising spots as well. André said she’s invested about $1,000 of her own money in the project and has sold several dozen guides since the product launched earlier this month.

She plans to keep the guide online only for the time being — which will make it easy to update — but eventually she hopes to turn it into an e-book that could be read on a Kindle or similar digital reader.

Conservationist: Known for donations Continued from Page C-1 one of those ways is to partner up with these large landowners.”

Protecting massive areas of land through conservation easements is a lot different than establishing a national park, Lane says. For instance, landowners still control access, meaning the public isn’t usually free to roam these pristine areas.

On the flip side, easements can preserve entire ecosystems, providing habitat for wildlife in the area, safeguarding spectacular views and limiting the impact of development on natural resources.

Plus, the federal government doesn’t have to shoulder the huge cost of buying and managing the land — a duty that agencies like the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management are already struggling with on limited budgets.

“This is another approach, another option for preserving habitat,” Lane said.

The Trinchera-Blanca easements were key to establishing the 250,000-acre Sangre de Cristo Conservation Area — a patchwork of public and private land that runs from Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado to the Vermejo Ranch in Northern New Mexico.

Bacon has donated similar easements for wildlife habitat and environmental protection in New York and North Carolina, all of which have given him a reputation as a dedicated conservationist.

The National Audubon Society honored Bacon with the Audubon Medal in 2013, lauding his “significant and diverse efforts to preserve and protect key natural ecosystems.”

Bacon’s decision to protect his San Luis Valley ranch had a silver lining beyond preserving landscapes and giving him a nice tax break — the easement essentially quashed a plan to build a massive powerline across parts of the property.

Bacon told Forbes magazine he had spent $10 million in a public relations battle against Xcel Energy and Tri-State Generation and Transmission, which were proposing a joint transmission line that would go east from the San Luis Valley and right through Trinchera. Bacon mounted a full-on assault of the plan, and threw up enough of a hurdle that Xcel backed out of the deal.

Ironically, the failure of that plan prompted Tri-State to look at alternative routes for the transmission line,

including a path that would cut across the recently designated Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. Local conservationists who pushed for the monument designation are hoping Bacon will step into the fray again, though it’s not clear if he’ll be as motivated to go a second round, especially when his own property isn’t at risk.

Doing good things on the ground It is likely, however, that Bacon’s charitable foundation will have a bigger presence in Northern New Mexico once the dust from the Ski Valley deal settles.

Ann Colley, executive director and vice president of Bacon’s Moore Charitable Foundation, said Taos is still “brand new” to her and the foundation, and they aren’t yet ready to take a public position on local conservation issues.

In the past, the foundation has relied on local insiders to direct where funding goes. “We always start with the mandate of being a good community partner with the organizations that are there,” Colley said. The Moore Foundation website makes clear that the organization does not

accept unsolicited proposals from local groups, but instead “identifies viable programs that align with its core mission.”

According to tax records, Bacon’s foundation donated more than $180,000 to groups in the San Luis Valley last year. Those donations include $32,000 to the Adams State College Foundation, $10,000 to the Costilla County Economic Development Council and $27,000 to the Sierra Grande School District.

The year before, the foundation gave more than $300,000 to groups in the valley.

“They’re very supportive of things that are happening locally that deal with conservation or community improvement,” said Judy López, with the Rio Grande Watershed Conservation and Education Initiative based in Center, Colo. The organization works with schools and takes local kids outside to teach them about water and soil conservation.

The Moore Charitable Foundation gave the group $117,500 two years ago and another $4,800 last year, according to tax records.

López said the foundation’s giving suggests Bacon

wants to be a “vested” part of the community, and that he prefers to see money go to local groups that are doing good things on the ground.

“My guess is that the foundation values local folks — their thoughts and ideas on things they want to do,” López said. “[Bacon] has made considerable investments in the environmental community in our area,” said Nancy Butler, executive director of the Rio Grande Headwaters Land Trust in Del Norte, Colo.

The organization received $25,000 from Bacon’s foundation in tax year 2011 and another $4,800 in tax year 2012, according to tax records.

Butler says Bacon’s donation coincides with a general uptick in private landowner interest in conservation easements. She said big easements from Bacon and the ranch’s former owner, Malcolm Forbes, have added to a broader community desire for preservation.

Going on the foundation’s record just 100 miles to the north, conservation and community groups in Taos are wondering if they may benefit from Bacon assuming a more prominent role in the community.

“I think there’s a hope that he’ll take an interest and invest some resources into some of our conservation efforts,” said Chris Smith, president of the Taos Land Trust. Tax records show the Taos Land Trust received $2,500 from the Moore Foundation in 2011.

“All we can do is look at what he did in the San Luis Valley and assume there’s going to be some similar things happening here,” Smith said.

The hope comes at a time when local nonprofits are finding it harder and harder to attract donors. “People are going to be hopeful because the funding stream in New Mexico is pretty dismal for a state this size,” said Brian Shields, executive director of Amigos Bravos. He’s optimistic about the potential for new money for watershed protection in New Mexico.

Roberta Salazar with Rivers and Birds says Bacon’s reputation for listening to community members will go a long way in a place as diverse and complex as Taos. “I think he will be a good neighbor and partner in protecting our unique lands and cultures in Taos County,” Salazar said, adding that he might prove to be an “interesting conservation bridge” between Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado.

I think there’s a hope that he’ll take an interest and invest some resources “ into some of our conservation efforts.”

Dry California welcomes storms Pineapple Express offers wet relief to drought-stricken state The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Californians accustomed to complaining about the slightest change in the weather welcomed a robust weekend storm that soaked the northern half of the droughtstricken state Saturday even as rain and snow brought the threat of avalanches, flooding and rock slides.

In Willits, one of 17 rural communities that California’s Department of Public Health recently described as dangerously low on water, City Councilman Bruce Burton said he was cheered seeing the water levels in a local reservoir and his backyard pond creeping up and small streams flowing again. The city in the heart of redwood country usually sees about 50 inches of rain a year and was expected to get about 4 inches by Sunday.

“It’s guarded optimism. We are a long ways from where we need to be, but we have to start with some sort of a raindrop,” Burton said.

The storm that moved in Friday, powered by a warm, moisture-packed system from

the Pacific Ocean known as a Pineapple Express, dropped more than 7 inches of rain on Marin County’s Mt. Tamalpais, an average of 4 inches in Sonoma County and 1 to 3 inches in San Francisco, San Jose and other urban areas as of Saturday morning, National Weather Service hydrologist Mark Strudley said.

With areas north of San Francisco forecast to see another few inches by Sunday, the downpour, while ample enough to flood roadways and prompt warnings that parched streams could be deluged to the point of overflowing, by itself will not

Jury finds woman guilty in Alamogordo eatery shooting The Associated Press

ALAMOGORDO — The last of three suspects to be tried in the 2011 killing of a woman outside a busy Alamogordo Burger King was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder.

The Alamogordo Daily News reported that a Lincoln County jury read the verdict against Alexias Torres. Jurors also found Torres guilty of one count each of conspiracy to commit murder, shooting at or from a motor vehicle, conspiracy to commit shooting at or from a motor vehicle and tampering with evidence.

She could face life in prison.

Prosecutors say Torres, Jonathan Montoya and Melissa Mathis shot 33-year-old Shavon Twitty on June 8, 2011, after Twitty broke up with Mathis.

Michael Keedy, Torres’ defense lawyer, said he was “devastated” on behalf of his client and plans to appeal.

In the meantime, he also hoped to be able to get her the

lightest prison sentence possible, he said.

In his closing argument, Deputy District Attorney John Sugg said Montoya fired the fatal shots but was following orders from Torres and Mathis.

According to prosecutors, Torres and Mathis both knew Twitty and had conspired to assault her. Sugg showed angry texts between Twitty and Mathis that morning and said all three suspects picked up a gun before heading to the restaurant.

The defense argued that Torres was driving the car all three suspects were riding in because she thought Mathis wanted to find Twitty for a reconciliation.

Sugg commended the jury for its decision.

Montoya was convicted last August and sentenced to life in prison. His mental capacity was called into question during the trial.

Mathis is serving a 16-year sentence for her involvement.

Congressmen propose legislation to improve border agent training ANTHONY, N.M. — New Mexico Rep. Steve Pearce and Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke announced plans Saturday for a bipartisan bill to improve training for agents at U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Pearce, a Republican, and O’Rourke, a Democrat, made the announcement during a meeting Saturday morning with community leaders in Anthony, N.M.

The legislation would focus on improving training and accountability for Customs and Border Protection agents.

The measure would include the creation of new channels for people to resolve issues. Pearce said the proposal is the result of input from constituents, including ranchers and immigrants.

solve the state’s drought worries, Strudley said.

“The yearly rainfall around here, depending on where you were, was less than 10 percent of normal,” he said. “The additions from this last series of storms and the totals are taking a dent out of it, but it is not a significant dent.”

The storm deposited a foot of snow for Lake Tahoe ski resorts that have relied on manmade snow for much of the season, and elevations above 7,500 feet were expected to get another foot or two by Sunday, said Holly Osborne, a National Weather Service meteorologist

in Sacramento.

The additions, which followed some brief periods of snow in the last week, already have improved the outlook for the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides about a third of California’s water supply. When state surveyors last checked on Jan. 30, the snowpack was at 12 percent of normal for this time of winter. By Saturday, it was at 17 percent of normal.

“At least we are getting something versus nothing,” Osborne said.

While the fresh snow delighted skiers and resort operators, the Sierra Avalanche Center warned Saturday that the danger of avalanches, both natural and human-triggered, was high in a wide swath of the central Sierra Nevada because wind had blown new snow onto weak layers of existing ice and rock.

Tiffany Morrissey, a Silicon Valley family doctor who was working on ski patrol at the Alpine Meadows resort Saturday, said several lifts and runs were closed as a safety precaution but that cars carrying people wanting a taste of fresh powder filled up the parking lots.

“It’s a heavy, wet snow, and because of the avalanche danger the lines are pretty long. But you could hear people having a great time out on the mountain,” Morrissey said.

Meandering life

Watershed association director has been drawn to work that allows time in nature

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

A

ndy Otto’s path to his role as the new executive director of the Santa Fe Watershed Association has been anything but a straight trajectory.

Like the wild rivers he loves to fly fish and hike along, Otto’s life has meandered. Always he’s sought out jobs that allowed him a measure of independence and time in nature.

“I’ve always loved being outside,” said Otto, 62.

Otto earned a degree in watershed management and natural resources recreation in 1973 from the University of Arizona in Tucson. “We all wanted to be wilderness rangers,” Otto said of his class.

For a couple of years, he made his living as a commercial photographer in Colorado.

Then he moved to Truckee, Nev., where he learned on his own how to renovate houses and resell them. He said, “It was sometimes me, my hammer and a Sunset Book” — construction books for do-it-yourselfers.

With a partner, he owned two restaurants for a few of those years — Rosie’s River Street Cafe in Truckee and Rosie’s Cafe in Tahoe City. “You learn a lot of business skills running a restaurant,” he said.

He went on to sell commercial real estate in Truckee for Coldwell Banker before taking a job as director of land use compatibility for the Truckee River Watershed Council. He started four programs for the council in riverfriendly landscaping, weed removal, aquatic invasive species prevention and Adopt-AStream.

He and his wife raised three children in Truckee.

Otto isn’t from New Mexico, but he’s spent the last three decades coming here. His mother was a Santa Fe resident for 20 years, and his brother worked in New Mexico.

After his mom died, he continued to come to Santa Fe every few months. “I ran up this way often,” he said.

The watershed job allows him to work in something he loves and live in a town he’s wanted to make his home, he said.

Otto is no stranger to rural life. He grew up in small Northern California towns and spent summers and holidays at his stepfather’s Bear Tooth cattle ranch in Montana. They moved the cattle on horseback and camped. “We fixed fence. We patched irrigation ditches,” he said. “I had to catch the horses from the pasture in the morning. That was my job.”

Attorney Kristina Fisher, president of the Santa Fe Watershed Association board, said Otto was the pick out of 50 applicants for the position, in large part because of the diversity in his experiences. “We liked the fact he had spent time on a ranch and time running a restaurant,” Fisher said. “His diversity of life

experience is really going to be beneficial.

We felt Andy’s background put him in a good position to roll with whatever came.”

Fisher said Otto has a real passion for watershed issues, both from the environmental side and the community outreach side. “I think the watershed association has done a great job of reconnecting the community to its river,” she said. “We wanted someone who would continue that.”

The 15-year-old organization has only two full-time employees, several part-time staff and a cadre of volunteers who help with river cleanups, tree planting, school education programs and advocacy for the 285-square-mile watershed.

The Santa Fe River stretches 46 miles from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the Rio Grande at Cochiti.

The group lobbied hard for a city ordinance passed in 2012 that commits up to 1,000 acre-feet of water a year to the river.

One acre-foot is enough water to cover a football field 1 foot deep, about 325,800 gallons. The water is allowed to bypass the city’s two municipal reservoirs in the Santa Fe Canyon and flow down the river, which is otherwise often dry throughout the year.

Otto said the fact that city residents and city officials voluntarily passed a “living river” ordinance, without a mandate by the federal or state, “is huge.”

“A living river is a benefit to a community emotionally, sociologically and economically,” Otto said.

He said his role is to support and expand the work the Santa Fe Watershed Association has well underway. “I want to foster an atmosphere where people can create and own their own projects,” he said. “I’m trying not to get in the way.”

He hopes the association will expand its education program to more schools and grow an Adopt-An-Arroyo program. He’s also excited about a new River Talks program, in which staff will make presentations about the watershed at small dinner parties.

“It’s very informal. They’re meant to be fun,” he said.

Otto said his most important goal is to promote the river as an integral part of Santa Fe life. “We don’t want to separate a river from its watershed or its aquifer. We don’t want to separate the river from us,” he said.

Otto invites everyone to show the river a little love Feb. 15 by helping clean it up during the Santa Fe Watershed Association Love Your River Day.

t was clearly an idea whose time had come. For decades, the state Motor Transportation Police Division relied on the instincts of inspection officers to identify high-risk commercial vehicles on New Mexico’s roads. That meant frequent screening stops, an increasingly difficult task with fewer inspectors and an ever-larger traffic volume.

New Mexico’s response to this dilemma, the Smart Roadside Inspection Program, has proven so effective that it recently earned national recognition.

The Smart Roadside program was one of five initiatives to receive this year’s Innovations in Gussie American Government Award Fauntleroy from the Harvard Kennedy Public Works School’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. The winning programs were selected from more than 600 nominations from around the country.

“These [award winners] demonstrate the many ways innovative leaders build engaged, healthy and safe communities through public sector innovation,” Ash Center officials said.

Begun in 2009, the statewide Smart Roadside program uses strategically positioned roadside sensors to automatically collect data from passing trucks.

Sophisticated software then helps identify high-risk commercial vehicles. Research by the Ash Center determined the program has contributed to a significant increase in total revenue collected at the Lordsburg Point of Entry, while physical inspections have decreased.

PREP BASKETBALL SANTA FE HIGH SCHOOL 61, ESPAÑOLA VALLEY 59

Turning heads United States’ Sage Kotsenburg takes a jump during the men’s snowboard slopestyle semifinal Saturday at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. SERGEI GRITS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By James Barron The New Mexican

ESPAÑOLA inally, some drama that didn’t involve a school board, disciplinary action or shows of support.

Richard Martinez was back at Española Valley, and so was every single player who donned a Sundevils uniform this season.

And what the crowd in Edward Medina Gymnasium received was just a typical Santa Fe High-Española Valley boys basketball barn burner on Saturday night. It took Keanyn Evans’ two free throws with :00.3 on the clock in overtime to give Santa Fe High a 61-59 win over the Sundevils, and in turn, force a three-way tie atop the District 2AAAA standings with Española and Bernalillo at 3-2.

While Española dominated the attention over the first three weeks of district play — what with rumors of Martinez’s firing and subsequent placement by the Española Public School District on paid leave to investigate concerns of the head coach bullying and intimidating players — the attention-getters at the end of the night were the Demons (5-17 overall).

A team that was 2-15 three weeks ago is in position to make some noise in 2AAAA. And that was a sweet sound to Santa Fe High head coach David Rodriguez’s ears.

“From top to bottom, I’ve never been around a great group of kids,” Rodriguez said. “They get along, they support each other, they kid around with each other. They’ve had to pick each other up over and over again. They’re just tough kids.”

The Demons demonstrated their playfulness as Evans was being interviewed, as a line of teammates touched his chin, his head and his ears as he talked. But Evans was impervious to their attempts to break him — almost like he was at the free-throw line for the biggest attempts of the junior’s career.

Evans actually thought the whistle he heard signaled the end

OLYMPIC SLOPESTYLE

New trick earns U.S. 1st gold in Sochi Kotsenburg says he had never tried ‘Holy Crail’ before Saturday’s run

By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Sage Kotsenburg loves snowboarding for all its unexpected surprises.

Winning the first Olympic gold medal in slopestyle, for one.

And winning it with one trick he’d never tried before and another that included a self-invented grab of the board he named the “Holy Crail.”

The 20-year-old American jetted off the first big jump of the slopestyle course Saturday and whirled around for 3½ rotations while flipping twice.

All the while, he was grabbing the front of his board with one hand and the nose of the board with the other.

Chicago looking good before break

By Jay Cohen The Associated Press

CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks head into the NHL’s Olympic break in prime position to defend their Stanley Cup title.

Now comes the part that really matters.

The Blackhawks (35-11-14) were shut out for the first time this season when they lost 2-0 at Phoenix on Friday night.

But their six-game trip leading up to the break included impressive wins at Los Angeles and Anaheim that helped them move within three points of the NHL-leading Ducks.

“It was really important before getting the two weeks off. You always want to go into the trip with a little momentum and gain some points before you have a long break like that,” goaltender Corey Crawford said after the loss to the Coyotes.

Led by high-scoring Patrick Kane, the Blackhawks lead the league with 207 goals. They have shown the ability to win all kinds of games and have played their best against some of the NHL’s top teams.

But there are some concerns for the last part of the season. Here are three things to watch for the Blackhawks with just 22 games left in the season: Olympic effect: The Blackhawks have 10 players headed to Sochi, matching Detroit and St. Louis for the NHL lead. The list includes five of the team’s biggest stars: forwards Kane, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa, to go along with defenseman Duncan Keith.

It’s more high-intensity minutes for a group of players who shouldered much of the load during Chicago’s run to the title last year. How they come out of those Olympic games could have a dramatic effect on the rest of the season.

“We are happy for the guys and it is a great accomplishment and we will be rooting for them,” coach Joel Quenn-

eville said. “I just think the concern is how are they going to come and how are they going to feel when they get back to the team and the lineup. We will keep an eye on that going through the stretch.”

Hossa, who turned 35 last month and will play for Slovakia in the Olympics, is a particular concern. He was hampered by a back problem during the Stanley Cup, and Quenneville smartly gave him more rest in the run-up the break.

Second-line center: Michal Handzus, Andrew Shaw and Brandon Pirri each have taken a turn at second-line center, but it remains an issue.

Pirri was recalled from Rockford of the AHL on Jan. 27 and then sent down after he went scoreless in four games. It looks as if it could be Handzus’ role for now.

It’s unlikely that touted prospect

Teuvo Teravainen will be ready in time to help the Blackhawks this season, so general manager Stan Bowman could take a long look at the trade market ahead of the March 5 deadline. He added some depth on Thursday night by acquiring Peter Regin and PierreMarc Bouchard in a trade with the Islanders.

Where’s Bryan Bickell? Bickell stepped up during last year’s playoffs, finishing with nine goals and eight assists.

The big postseason led to a new fouryear contract for the rugged forward.

Everything was in place for a big season for the 27-year-old Bickell, but the first part of this year has been a struggle. He hits the Olympic break with eight goals and two assists in 43 games after missing time with a lower-body injury and getting benched at one point by a frustrated Quenneville.

Dodgers report for spring training SCOREBOARD

By Bob Baum

The Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — With high expectations and an abundance of talent, Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers and catchers reported for spring training on Saturday.

The reigning National League West champs gathered earlier than usual to prepare for a two-game, season-opening series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney, Australia, on March 22-23.

While nothing’s official at such an early date, manager Don Mattingly did nothing to dampen the belief that Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, the potent one-two punch at the top of the Dodger rotation, would get Aussie starts.

“We’re obviously not ready to make any kind of announcement, but I think it’s pretty simple, pretty easy, to know which way we want to go,” Mattingly said, “but we have to get everybody ready because we don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Kershaw, the NL Cy Young winner two of the past three seasons, has a seven-year, $215 million contract. A year ago, Greinke signed a six-year, $147 million deal.

Hyun-Jin Ryu is the solid third starter, and the Dodgers added Dan Haren to the mix in the offseason.

“Kersh is our No. 1 guy. It’s not that hard to say,” Mattingly said. “And then Zack kind of lines up right there right next to him and

Hyun is not far behind. We’ll move ahead accordingly and if anything happens we’ll make adjustments.”

The potential No. 5 starter, Josh Beckett, might take a bit longer because he is recov-

ering from surgery to repair thoracic outlet syndrome, a rare nerve condition that can cause pain and numbness in the shoulder and make it difficult for the hand to grip.

It will be a while before another Dodger starter, Chad Billingsley, returns after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Left-hander Paul Maholm was in the clubhouse on Saturday, but declined to talk to reporters. His name was even on a locker for a time before someone took it down, probably because he has to pass a physical before any announcement of his signing is made.

The Dodgers had discussions with Bronson Arroyo, who reached an agreement on a two-year, $23.5 million deal with the Diamondbacks on Friday.

As for those high expectations?

“There should be,” Greinke said. “Our team’s really good. We did really good, even with a bunch of injuries last year. We have some young guys about ready to come up if needed. I mean, the expectations should be really high here.”

Mattingly said his team has “realistic expectations that we’ve got a talented club and we’re capable.”

The team, he noted, is pretty much the same cast of players as it was last season, when the Dodgers went on an incredible 42-8 run and rolled to the division title, eventually falling to the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS.

Workers threaten strike at stadium

By Tales Azzoni The Associated Press

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Workers at a World Cup stadium in the jungle city of Manaus are threatening to go on strike to demand better conditions following a third recent construction-related death at the venue.

A walkout could further delay the completion of the Arena da Amazonia just months before the start of football’s showcase tournament.

“We have to guarantee the workers’ rights and their safety,” union leader Cicero Custodio

told Brazilian news media.

“Nobody will get in on Monday.”

A 55-year-old Portuguese man was killed in an accident on Friday while disassembling a crane that was used to install the stadium’s roof, becoming the third worker to die at the venue in less than a year.

The Arena da Amazonia is one of the five stadiums still under construction for the World Cup. Brazil promised all 12 venues would be ready by the end of last year, well ahead of the June 12 opener, but only seven have been completed. Six

of them had to be ready for the Confederations Cup warm-up tournament last June.

Organizers said the Arena da Amazonia was nearly 97 percent completed when the accident happened, with only minor details keeping it from being inaugurated sometime this month. Amazonas state Gov. Omar Aziz was expected to visit the stadium on Friday to announce the inauguration date, but the visit was canceled because of the worker’s death.

Organizers said Friday that the accident would not interfere with the stadium’s construction

because the crane had already been removed from the venue’s main construction area.

The worker who died was identified as Antonio Jose Pita Martins, who was working for the Portuguese company Martifer, a multinational focused in metal constructions.

The first death in Manaus happened in March, when a man fell from a scaffold and hit his head. In December, another worker died after falling 115 feet while working on the stadium’s roof, prompting a work stoppage of four days as authorities inspected safety conditions.

against the Demons’ initial charge. Martinez said it was what he expected from his team, even after all the drama that surrounded the program.

In the span of three weeks, Martinez battled parents over his coaching style, had two players (Dillon Martinez and Elias Archuleta) quit the program and he was on paid leave for four days earlier this week until Española superintendent Danny Trujillo announced his return to the program on Thursday.

Initially, Martinez was to return on Monday, but he elected to resume his coaching duties on Friday. Dillon Martinez and Archuleta were wearing the home white uniforms as well.

“Española is very resilient, I can say that word,” Martinez said. “The bottom line is, we are like a big family.”

The Demons can say the same thing, especially considering where they were before the district season began.

“Any other group of kids would have given up a long time ago,” Rodriguez said.

“They would have folded the tent and blamed each other. These kids believe in each other. You see the fight in them.”

And the battle has just begun.

Athletes mum on gay rights protests Many feel Olympics are not the place for non-sports issues

FIGURE SKATING

Russia holds lead while Lipnitskaia impresses

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — Like old times, Russia is dominating Olympic figure skating.

The host nation’s disappointment over not winning a gold medal in Vancouver will fade quickly if its skaters’ performances in the new event of team figure skating carry on throughout the Sochi Games.

Fifteen-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia had the look of an Olympic champion on Saturday night, dazzling the home crowd with a near-perfect routine in the women’s short program. Then it was Russia’s backup pair, Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov, earning cheers as they routed the field in the free skate.

With only the men’s and women’s free skate and the free dance left to contest in Sunday’s finale, Russia has 47 points to Canada’s 41 and the United States’ 34. Italy has 31 and Japan has 30.

With her countrymen chanting her first name, Lipnitskaia put on a mature presentation that had fans stomping their feet and showering the ice with flowers and dolls.

Her flexibility and rapid rotation on her spins and jumps were reminiscent of Tara Lipinski when she won the 1998 Olympic gold.

And Lipinski, who was the same age at those games in Nagano, was on hand to see it.

“I have been saying the whole year that she is a dark horse,” Lipinski said of Lipnitskaia — yes, the names are nearly the same.

“I loved the energy and the fight in her.”

Lipnitskaia easily outskated far more experienced competitors Carolina Kostner of Italy, who is in her third Olympics, and Japan’s Mao Asada, in her second.

The moment wasn’t too big for her in any way.

“My trainers told me people would cry,” she said. “They told me they would be clapping to the music. But I didn’t think the spectators would be so loud. But it helped me to perform really well.”

Just like her comrades.

In the new event, Russia has finished no lower than third in any of its four disciplines. The nation that for decades held a stronghold on figure skating medals as the Soviet Union and then as Russia — 51 in all — appears ready to hog the podium again after winning just two in Vancouver.

There was nothing ghastly about the performance of Stolbova and Klimov to music from The Addams Family. Stepping in for world champs Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, who won the short program, Stolbova and Klimov had the audience in the Iceberg at Sochi’s Olympic Park on its feet well before they finished their routine.

“We feel a great amount of responsibility for our country and, of course, [had] the fans on our side,” Klimov said through a translator. “We did believe we have to be ready for that and do our best.”

It was a good night for the Americans, too. The team was seventh heading into Saturday, but thanks in great part to world champion ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White, it got back into contention for a medal. The 2010 ice dancing silver medalists quickstepped to the rescue by winning the short dance.

“We don’t feel like we’re trying to carry any sort of burden or load,” White said.

“We’re counting on the whole team to pull through together, and I think that’s what makes us such a strong team.”

But not nearly as strong as the Russians, led by a teenager who doesn’t look her age.

Lipnitskaia’s flexibility on every move, combined with her speed, not only enraptured the audience, but impressed the judges to the tune of 72.90 points.

“We are different,” Lipinski said. “Even though I was young, I remember I wanted to show I could skate with the big guns.”

One of this year’s big-timers, Italy’s Kostner, was graceful and elegant when skating to “Ave Maria” on her 27th birthday. She was second.

SOCHI, Russia — Olympic competition first, gay rights maybe later.

Plenty of athletes made clear before traveling to Sochi how unhappy they were about gay rights being curtailed in Russia, particularly with its law banning gay “propaganda.”

But now in Sochi, there has not been a squeak of public protest from the 2,870 Olympians — either at venues or at Friday’s opening ceremony.

Outside the Olympic bubble, the plight of Russia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community continues to dog the games.

Gay rights activists who waved rainbow flags on Friday on Moscow’s Red Square and protested in St. Petersburg were quickly arrested.

Three sponsors of the U.S. Olympic Committee, led by telecommunications giant AT&T, have spoken explicitly against the Russian law. Google Inc. hinted its opposition by putting winter athletes and rainbow colors on its search-page logo.

But in Sochi, largely silence.

Olympians and coaches cite multiple reasons why they feel these Olympics are neither the place nor time — at least not early on in the 17-day games — to make a stand.

Competition first: Not unreasonably, priority No. 1 is to compete. Everything else is on hold.

“We’re all so focused on the task at hand,” said U.S. figure skater Ashley Wagner. In the United States, Wagner spoke eloquently against the Russian law. In Sochi, she still is happily and patiently answering questions on it. She said she has also “discussed it with some athletes.”

“We have a great platform to really speak out about what we believe in, but also we’re here to compete,” she said. “I did my part as an athlete, and did enough to make myself feel good at the end of the day.”

Skating coach Brian Orser, who is gay, said: “I’ve avoided most of these questions about it.

I don’t want to come across as a hypocrite but I also just want to be here for my athletes, just be here doing my job.”

“I have my feelings about it, but I don’t know if this is the time or the place to voice it, although we do have a big audience, and that’s sort of important as well,” he said.

“So I am kind of torn.”

Maybe later: Once athletes are done competing, gloves could come off, especially if these are their last Olympics. That, at least, is the theory of

LGBT activist Hudson Taylor, a wrestling coach at Columbia University who has traveled to Sochi to campaign. Taylor said he knows of “a handful of athletes who are interested in speaking out.”

“I could see people feeling a little bit more comfortable, after they have gotten their main job out of the way, to speak their mind,” said Wagner.

Not the place: The mantra of the International Olympic Committee and many Olympians is that the games must be kept free of the political, religious and other schisms that divide the outside world. That philosophy discourages open discussion at the Olympics of any contentions nonsport issue, not just the anti-gay chill in Russia.

“I don’t really feel like the Olympics is a place for that kind of politics,” said U.S. skier Bode Miller, competing at his fifth games. “It’s a place for sports and a place for cultures to kind of put aside their differences and compete.”

“It’s easy to get caught up in all the other stuff and forget what the Olympics is about.”

Behind the scenes: Some athletes say they are talking, but among themselves.

“We’ve been discussing this a lot, and it really just brings us athletes closer together. We all agree that there should be no discrimination,” said U.S. cross-country skier Kikkan Randall.

But esteemed figure skating coach Frank Car-

roll said: “I haven’t heard one single word about it. Not one. I don’t see any flags or banners.”

Keep quiet: Some countries say they just don’t want their athletes involved. Canada is one of those.

“We don’t participate in any political debates and any controversy and anything else but sport,” said Canadian Olympic Committee President Marcel Aubut.

Canadian Olympians get “a lot of training” on how to answer reporters and are made “aware of any trigger points,” said Mike Slipchuk, who heads Canada’s figure skating team.

“They’re here to answer questions about their performance and what they’re doing here,” he said.

But on gay rights, “wars” and “everything,” he said: “We’re not here to be a spokesperson for those things.”

Canadian skater Kevin Reynolds certainly got the message.

“I’m focused on doing my job and, for the time being, doing what I need to do,” he said somewhat robotically when asked for his opinion.

With a curt “thanks,” a Canadian press handler tried to cut off a follow-up question before allowing Reynolds to reply.

“I think the athletes will be a little bit more free to talk about that after they have done competing,” the skater said.

Hockey: Raty a 2-time NCAA champ Continued from Page D-1 a chance to clinch a spot in the semifinals.

Canada was scheduled to play Switzerland later in the day in the other opener for Group A, which includes all of the medal favorites.

The Americans and Canadians are overwhelming favorites to reach the gold medal game, and Finland is expected to repeat for the bronze.

That’s mostly thanks to Raty, a two-time NCAA champion who went 41-0 at Minnesota in her senior year and made 58 saves to upset the Americans in a tournament in Lake Placid, N.Y., in November. But the three-time Olympian was beaten on the first shot of the Sochi Olympics when a teammate gave the puck away at the blue line and Knight went in all alone.

“I was like, ‘All right, here it is.

We’re going to score here,’ ” said Knight, who lives in Sun Valley, Idaho, and played for the University of Wisconsin. “When you get a goal, especially in the first minute, it always deflates the other team,” Raty shut the Americans down for the next 27 minutes before Stack double-deflected a pass from Megan Bozek — Raty’s college

It deflected off a defender and behind Raty to make it 3-0.

“They got pretty lucky,” Raty said. “But you have to earn your luck.”

The Americans had said all

week that they would need ugly goals to beat Raty, and U.S. coach Katey Stone made no apologies for how the puck went in.

“We talk a lot about how there are no snapshots on the scorecard,” said Stone, who is on leave from Harvard to coach Team USA. “If it’s an ugly one, it’s an ugly one.

And sometimes against a fantastic goaltender that’s how you have to get it done.”

Five things to know

White, one of the most cuttingedge innovators in the game, was practicing on the halfpipe below when Kotsenburg landed the 1620 Japan Air. Despite the excitement of that trick, there was some headscratching going on elsewhere.

Sandbech, McMorris and Winter X Games champion Max Parrot were among those who threw the much-ballyhooed triple cork, which is three head-over-heels flips — considered way more dangerous and athletic and presumed to be the must-have trick to win the first Olympic gold in this sport’s history.

Kotsenburg never tried one.

There are, of course, seven or eight tricks in every run — boxes to jump on, rails to ride over and even the option to jump over the giant Russian nesting doll near the top of the course.

Let the games begin: And they do. The first five gold medals of the Sochi Games were up for grabs Saturday: men’s 10-kilometer biathlon sprint, women’s 7.5-kilometer + 7.5 kilometer skiathlon, women’s freestyle ski moguls, men’s snowboard slopestyle and men’s 5000-meter speedskating.

That missing ring: “I don’t see what the problem is, to be honest,” International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams says of questions about Russian state television’s use of rehearsal footage to mask the fact that one of five Olympic rings didn’t light up during Sochi’s opening ceremony. While the 40,000 spectators in the stadium saw the glitch, Russian state television cut away to air the recorded images showing all five rings joining together and fireworks exploding.

Hijack rationale: More information is emerging on the 45-year-old Ukrainian man who authorities say tried to hijack a Turkey-bound commercial flight and divert it to Sochi on the day of the Winter Olympics’ opening ceremony. They say he wanted to press for the release of antigovernment protesters in his country. Turkey’s transport minister suggests the man probably acted alone.

Interesting choice: The IOC is also defending Russia’s choosing of figure skating icon Irina Rodnina as one of the torchbearers for the Sochi opening ceremony. Rodnina, a three-time gold medalist, drew criticism in September for tweeting a photo of U.S. President Barack Obama that some felt was racist. Sochi Organizing Committee President Dmitry Chernyshenko says the Olympics is about sports, not politics.

Break down the door: Locked in a bathroom in the athletes’ village, U.S. bobsledder Johnny Quinn found a novel way out: crashing through the door.

The former NFL player with Green Bay and Buffalo posted a photo of a gaping hole in the former door. A U.S. team spokeswoman couldn’t say whether Quinn will have to pay for it.

A: The Lindsay storm. February 1969.

Newsmakers Next step uncertain in Woody Allen allegations NEW YORK — A week bracketed by op-ed letters of accusation and denial left little clarity and scant hope for resolution in a bitter saga that has haunted Woody Allen and the Farrow family for more than two decades.

Allen responded to adopted daughter Dylan Farrow’s allegation that he sexually assaulted her when she was 7 with a letter published Friday by The New York Times.

He declared it would be his “final word on this entire matter.”

But the next steps are uncertain, with the possibility of legal recourse and continued scrutiny in the weeks and months ahead.

The rampant debate sparked by Farrow’s

accusation will likely continue to stir questions over the alleged molestation, how claims of sexual assault are publicly weighed, and the legacy of Allen’s work as a filmmaker.

Valentino apologizes for Amy Adams bag flap NEW YORK — The fashion house Valentino has apologized for touting in an email to journalists that one of their pricey bags was carried by Amy Adams as she stepped from a car at the wake of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Much was made of the promotional email sent Friday, complete with two photos of Adams outside the Thursday wake.

Valentino said in a statement that quickly followed that the company didn’t realize

the photos were snapped at the gathering for Hoffman, who was found dead last Sunday of an apparent heroin overdose in his apartment.

“We sincerely regret releasing a photo to the media … of Amy Adams with a Valentino Bag. We were not aware the photograph was taken while she was attending the wake of Philip Seymour Hoffman. It was an innocent mistake and we apologize to Ms. Adams who was not aware, or a part of, our PR efforts,” said the regretful statement signed by Mona Swanson, vice president of communications for Valentino USA. The New York Post splashed the Valentino-toting actress in sunglasses and a sad expression all over its front page Saturday with the headline “DEAD CARPET.” The Associated Press

Amsterdam reveals ‘Red Light Secrets’

By Toby Sterling The Associated Press

AMSTERDAM — On any given evening, thousands of tourists stroll down the narrow canal-side streets of Amsterdam’s famed Red Light District, gawking at ladies in lingerie who work behind windows, making a living selling sex for money. Now, a small educational museum that opened Thursday in the heart of the district shows the reality from the other side of the glass.

The prostitutes

Red Light Secrets Organizer Melcher de Wind says the Red Light Secrets Museum is for those who want to learn more about how the area works without actually visiting a prostitute. It’s located in a former brothel, one of the narrow buildings typical of Amsterdam.

Visitors enter the museum by passing a hologram of a beckoning prostitute. The displays attempt to place prostitutes as part of society. There’s a short film showing the many people who work with the prostitutes.

Prostitutes rent windows on a half-day basis and can work shifts that are 11 hours long, six days a week. They spend a lot of time waiting for customers.

In their free time, they visit local hairdressers, nail salons and clothing shops.

There’s also a nursery school in the heart of the Red Light District, right next to the windows. In one scene in the film, a middle-aged prostitute in red leather receives an afternoon visit from her grade-school daughter.

A long history The museum makes only a passing attempt to document the history of prostitution tolerance in Amsterdam — starting from the 16th century, when it was a port city flush with wealth from the spice

trade and authorities turned a blind eye when sailors went ashore looking for women. Or during the Napoleonic Wars, when prostitutes first began to have mandatory medical checkups to combat venereal disease among soldiers.

The museum focuses on the era since 2000, when prostitution became legal in the Netherlands. Since then, the city has been struggling — it says with some success — to eradicate pimps and human trafficking.

Very few women who work as prostitutes ever earn more than a middle-class income at best — and usually it’s worse, according to Stakelborough and Van Doeveren.

Stakelborough says it’s not the prettiest or youngest girls who get the most customers or earn the most. And escorts and high-end brothel prostitutes don’t necessarily do better — they have fewer customers, longer sessions and lots of costs, for taxis or splitting profits with brothel owners, she said.

A window typically rents for 150 euros, or $202, for a halfday. Given the standard cost of about 50 euros, or $70, for a 15-minute session, their takehome pay before taxes is only 150 euros after seeing six clients, or 250 euros after eight.

Approximately 75 percent of the women are from poorer countries, often Romania or Bulgaria.

“Almost all the women who are here are here ‘voluntarily,’ in the sense that they come knowing what they’re going to do,” van Doeveren says. “But you can ask yourself what their other options were.”

At the end of the museum, there’s a wall of quotes from prostitutes.

“This job is not for the fainthearted,” wrote Eva from Holland. “I have become much harder.”

NEW YORK rom tablecloths to duvet covers, iPhone cases to wallpaper and startling calf-skin wall hangings, the ancient Japanese resistdying technique of shibori has gone mainstream. Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Eileen Fisher, Levi’s and innumerable fiber artists are breathing new life into the craft.

“The stillness and beauty of it really centers me,” said Oriana DiNella, who recently launched her own Web-based shibori line, including linen tableware, pillows and throws — and large leather wall hangings — all made to order and hand-dyed in organic indigo.

“It feels like a rebellion against the fashion movement, where everything seems so fast and disposable,” the New York-based designer explained.

Shibori is slow. It takes time, and has been around since about the 8th century.

The word comes from the Japanese shiboru, meaning “to wring, squeeze or press.”

The technique involves twisting, tying, crumpling, stitching or folding fabric — usually silk or cotton — in various ways, transforming the two-dimensional material into a sculptural, three-dimensional form.

This sculptural shape is then traditionally dyed, originally using indigo, although a huge variety of colors and dyes are now used. Sometimes, the same fabric is then twisted in some other way and then dyed again.

When the wrappings are removed, the folds and creases where the fabric resisted the dye form distinctive crinkled textures and patterns.

A sort of “memory on cloth,” Shibori also encompasses Issey Miyake’s revolutionary pleated clothing, fulling and felting, and other methods of transforming natural fabrics into 3-D shapes.

The work of Hiroyuki Murase exemplifies both the 3-D possibilities of shibori and the bridge between traditional and new. Murase grew up in Arimatsu, Japan, where shibori has been done using traditional techniques for 400 years. Today, his array of Luminaires lampshades and haute couture fabrics, designed for the likes of Christian Dior, are the cutting edge of modern shibori.

Murase’s family company, Suzusan, was founded there a century ago and has designed shibori fabrics for Miyake and other designers. Murase founded and is creative director at a separate company by the same name, Suzusan, in Dusseldorf, Germany.

But shibori is still most widely thought of as a sort of tie-dyeing.

Today’s incarnations are as different from their early Japanese predecessors as they are from the wild, tiedyed pieces that became emblematic of the ’60s and ’70s.

There’s a sense of timelessness and calm to the modern shibori pieces, and also a renewed focus on workmanship and functionality.

“I love the bleeds, the fluidity of it.

I love how the light shades of indigo can be so pale and watery and the navies can be such a deep, deep blue,” DiNella said.

Brooklyn designer Rebecca Atwood uses modern fiber-reactive dyes for her Blauvelt Collection, which includes pillows and pouches. And home-design purveyor Eskayel is creating the look of shibori patterns using ink, water and watercolors, followed by digital printing techniques.

“We have wallpaper, rugs, fabric, pillows, baskets, iPhone cases, stationery, prints and wall hangings. Oh, and poufs,” said founder and creative director Shanan Campanero, when asked about the company’s shiboriinspired offerings.

Compared to the tie-dyes of a generation ago, she said, today’s shiboriinspired works feature patterns that are more careful, deliberate and traditional.

Sustainable Building Tax Credit deserves funding

Shibori

An ancient art now revamped and revisited

ew Mexico is a progressive place when it comes to high-performance building standards and incentives. At least it has been. Along with some very forward-thinking green building codes requiring improved energy and water performance in homes, we also have a very effective state tax credit that has encouraged a rapid and expanding uptake of environmentally preferable building practices across the state.

The Sustainable Building Tax Credit (SBTC) is offered to builders and/or homeowners who choose to construct high-efficiency homes.

The SBTC was passed into law in 2007 with key support from Santa Fe’s own Sen. Peter Wirth. It is designed to improve the quality of our buildings by promoting the use of increased insulation, more efficient heating systems, and water-conserving appliances and fixtures. The credit requires builders to certify their buildings with a thirdparty certification program, either Build Green New Mexico or LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Both assure higher levels of environmental performance than green building codes alone.

The tax credit has been wildly popular among homebuilders, even though it is not easy to acquire the certifications required for the SBTC. Stringent guidelines must be adhered to and special inspections are required. The credit has become a key driver of innovation in building efficiency, and a major economic factor when builders are considering the benefits of spending more on highperformance features. The SBTC has worked very well at spurring economic growth in sustainable building practices, creating jobs and improving the quality of housing across the state.

The SBTC, when it originally passed, was meant to be renewed in 2013, which it was, barely. Although it was extended through 2016, the amount of money allocated to the credits was dramatically cut, which has effectively killed it. All the funding for 2014 was already allocated in 2013, and it is expected that within the next few months the 2015 credit allocation will be dispersed. At current rates of uptake, the total funding through 2016 will likely be used up before the end of the 2014. So, a homeowner waiting for a high-performance home to be completed in 2014 may not gain all the financial benefits they were expecting when they committed to the high performance upgrades needed for the SBTC. The common thinking among legislators is that since the SBTC is so popular, we should let it expire; it’s not needed. The purpose of tax credits should be that they are designed to spur a certain type of market transformation that society feels is important, like better buildings, and be allowed to expire when that transformation is achieved. So although the SBTC should expire sometime, it would be far better to taper off the SBTC slowly, rather than let it die precipitously two years before its intended end date. Let’s increase funding for the Sustainable Building Tax Credit now, and properly design its sunset so that builders and homeowners can plan accordingly.

Oriana DiNella recently launched her own Web-based shibori line, OriShibori.com, including linen tableware, pillows and throws, and large leather wall hangings, are made to order and hand-dyed in organic indigo.

Wang’s collection is centered on bedding, while Ralph Lauren’s features swim trunks and clothing.

Levi’s has even come out with shibori-inspired jeans. But while massproduced items lack the nuanced appeal of handcrafted works, they bring a surprising touch of texture and pizazz to the familiar.

For those inclined to take on do-ityourself projects, shibori has never been more accessible. It can be done easily at home using minimal equipment.

Urban Outfitters sells its own shibori kits, and lessons are widely available online, from basic for beginners to truly advanced. Martha Stewart Living features a project on its website using a standard pressure cooker to make elegant shibori at home.

Serious shibori artists and workshops across the country and internationally can be found through the Berkeley-based World Shibori

Network. With a membership of dedicated artisans in Japan and around the globe, it was founded in the 1990s because of fears that the traditional craft would disappear.

Despite widespread interest in shibori in the West, “we are still concerned with its survival in Japan,” explained Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada, the organization’s president and cofounder.

Wada, author of Shibori and Memory on Cloth (both published by Kodansha), has taught and written about shibori for more than 30 years, co-founded Berkeley’s Kasuri Dyeworks in 1975, and helped introduce shibori to the United States. Now, her focus is ensuring its survival in Japan.

“There used to be thousands and thousands of artists working on this.

Now there are not so many people doing it using traditional techniques,” said Wada.

She said iPhone covers and poufs made using digital techniques, far from being silly novelties, are crucial to the future of shibori, which holds little appeal to most young Japanese.

“Adapting shibori to something contemporary is the key to its survival,” she said. “When the big designers come out with it and young artists take it in new directions, then more people here and in Japan start to pay attention.”

The language of flowers

W

ith Valentine’s Day less than a week away, there is still time to think about what to get that special someone. The choices typically end up in three categories, leaving sweethearts to decide if it will be chocolate, flowers or jewelry this year. Some lovers generously send all three, but if you want your gift to have meaning as well as beauty, you may have to do a little research.

Flowers still remain the No. 1 choice, with floral sales in the millions for that one celebratory day in February. Roses continue to be the top pick, although with spring around the corner, many bulb flowers like tulips, daffodils and freesias are becoming favored choices. Seasonal flowers are always a good bet, since their quality and freshness can be superior to the flowers growers have over-harvested, such as roses and carnations.

If you are the romantic kind who wants your flowers to have meaning, there are some books on the subject, also known as the “language of flowers,” or floriography, in which flowers are assigned symbolic significance.

Throughout history, flowers have held special meaning in every culture, but enjoyed a spike in popularity during the Victorian era. During this time, floral arrangements took on a secret language where they were used to convey words and sentiments the sender

would dare not say aloud in conservative society.

A small book that came out around that time gained notoriety with flower lovers all over the world. Simply titled The Language of Flowers, this hardback, handwritten notebook was written anonymously in 1913 by a man who gave it to his wife on their golden anniversary. It is a gem for those wishing to choose a flower with deep sentimental meaning. To use this book as a guide, a ruler may be required to match up the tiny handwritten descriptions, lest you pick the wrong flower, which could have dire consequences. For example, hollyhock, which means “fecundity,” should not be mixed with hortensia (hydrangea) listed not far below, which means “you are cold.”

Maybe you want to be sentimental, too, but your lover fancies those yellow roses. There are no rules, get them anyway if it makes her or him happy. But if you want to get literal by attracting a new love interest with flowers, try some jonquils, meaning, “I desire a return of affection.” You never know, you may get Cupid on your side.
