Dems vow to support wage hike, education measures

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Detectives have identified the father of 30-year-old Julieanne Kelley as “a person of interest” in their homicide investigation into her death, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. The case unfolded early Friday when Bill Kelley, 64, reported his daughter missing from the manufactured home they shared in the 2000 block of Callejon De Rita, Julieanne Kelley an unpaved road between Agua Fría Road and Rufina Street. Friends have said the woman spent most of her time taking care of her father, who reported her missing at about 2:30 a.m. He told deputies that she had been gone from their home for four hours. Authorities returned to the residence 12 hours later and discovered the daughter’s body on the northeast side of the property. The sheriff’s office has said an autopsy revealed several lacerations on the woman’s upper torso and signs of blunt force trauma. A small dog that belonged to the family was taken into custody after deputies found blood on the animal. Juan Rios, a Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said investigators hope to use DNA testing to determine the source of the blood. Bill Kelley, whom authorities stopped short of calling a suspect, declined to comment to a reporter. The dead woman’s mother, Dolores Kelley, who lives in Rio Rancho, said her daughter had “her own side jobs” in which she worked as a pet sitter and cleaned houses. The mother declined to comment further. Friends of Julieanne Kelley described the 2002 Capital High School graduate as “a sweet girl.” Classmate Charlotte Ortiz, also 30, said she was “a serious girl, but only

STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

Obama’s rating up ahead of speech Public perception will be a factor in 2016, but how much is uncertain By Nate Cohn The New York Times

After a difficult year, President Barack Obama is enjoying a modest rebound ahead of State of the Union address Tuesday. His approval rating has increased to around 46 percent over the past month, according to an average of recent polls, up from 42 percent in the weeks after the decisive Republican victory in the midterm elections. It is a relatively small increase, but it is more impressive in the context of the unusual stability of Obama’s approval rating, which hovered between 42 and 44 percent for 15 consecutive months. In 2016, the president’s approval

ratings should be a telling indicator of whether the country is likely to support another Democratic administration. There is a well-established relationship between the pace of economic growth and a president’s approval ratings, and Obama is clearly benefiting from signs of accelerating economic growth. For the first time since the start of the recession, more Americans believe the economic conditions are good or excellent than poor. Consumer confidence rose to an 11-year high last week, according to the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index. The increase in Obama’s ratings also comes amid a flurry of executive actions or promised ones on immigration, climate change, Cuba and Internet policy. Obama’s immigration initiative may be at least partly responsible for his rebound. His rating among Hispanic adults jumped decisively, perhaps by as

ALBUQUERQUE — Democrats in the New Mexico House of Representatives, the minority party for the first time since 1954, said Monday they will still be aggressive in pushing a legislative agenda that includes raising the statewide minimum wage by $2.60 an hour. Fourteen of the 33 House Democrats appeared together at the South Valley Economic Development Center to highlight their priorities for the 60-day legislative session that starts Tuesday. Republicans in the House have 37 members, giving them better odds of moving their bills through the chamber and on to a state Senate controlled by Democrats. The House Democrats’ new floor leader, Rep. Brian Egolf of Santa Fe, said his party would rebut Republican attempts to hold down an increase in the minimum wage with what he called “Chicken Little sky-is-falling” scare tactics. Egolf said House Democrats favor Santa Fe Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela’s bill to raise the statewide minimum wage to $10.10 an hour from $7.50. Another bill by Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, calls for an increase to $8.30 an hour. Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Las Cruces already have established higher minimum wages than the state’s.

much as 15 percentage points, in the weeks after his decision to defer deportation and offer work authorization for up to 5 million immigrants who lack it. Still, there is not much evidence that liberal voters overall have become notably more supportive or energized as a result of a more active and progressive administration. Obama’s approval ratings did not increase by a disproportionate — or even notable — amount among Democratic or self-identified liberal voters, according to Gallup data.

NATION&WORLD NOT YOUR TYPICAL CLOUD FORMATION

Cheaper oil impacts change across the U.S. Stakes are especially high for transportation companies By Henry C. Jackson The Associated Press

In brief Drinking water trucked into Montana city GLENDIVE, Mont. — Truckloads of drinking water were being shipped to the eastern Montana city of Glendive on Monday after traces of a major oil spill along the Yellowstone River were detected in public water supplies, raising concerns about a potential health risk. Preliminary tests at the city’s water treatment plant indicated that at least some oil got into a water supply intake along the river, according to state and federal officials. About 6,000 people are served by the intake, Glendive Mayor Jerry Jimison said. Officials stressed that they were bringing in the shipments of drinking water as a precaution and did not know yet whether there was any health threat. Results of further tests to determine the scope of the danger were expected in coming days. Up to 50,000 gallons of oil spilled in the pipeline accident Saturday. Cleanup crews trying to recover the spilled crude were hampered by ice that covered most of the river, making it hard to find the oil. Initial tests of water supplies Saturday and Sunday revealed no evidence of oil. But by late Sunday, residents began complaining that the water coming from their taps had an unusual odor, officials said. An advisory against ingesting water from the city’s treatment plant was issued late Monday.

Argentine prosecutor dies of gunshot wound BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentina’s government said Monday that a prosecutor who had accused President Cristina Fernandez of shielding Iranian suspects in the nation’s deadliest terror attack died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound inside his locked apartment, a declaration sure to be closely scrutinized. Alberto Nisman, who had been investigating the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, was found in the bathroom of his apartment late Sunday, hours before he was to testify in a Congressional hearing about the case. Investigating prosecutor Viviana Fein said

the preliminary autopsy found “no intervention” of others in Nisman’s death. However, Fein said she would not rule out the possibility that Nisman was “induced” to suicide, adding that the gun was not his. “The firearm belonged to a collaborator of Nisman” who had given it to the prosecutor, Fein told Todo Noticias television channel. According to the autopsy, Nisman had a bullet entry-wound on the right side of his head but there was no exit wound.

Report: Top 1% to own half of world’s wealth LONDON — The richest 1 percent of the population will own more than half the world’s wealth by 2016, Oxfam International said in a report released as the World Economic Forum begins in Davos, Switzerland. Oxfam said the world’s richest people saw their share of global wealth jump to 48 percent last year from 44 percent in 2009. Rising inequality is holding back the fight against global poverty as the world’s biggest companies lobby the U.S. and European Union for beneficial tax changes at a time when average taxpayers are still paying the bill for the financial crisis, Oxfam said. “Do we really want to live in a world where the 1 percent own more than the rest of us combined?” Winnie Byanyima, Oxfam’s executive director, said in a statement. “The scale of global inequality is quite simply staggering, and despite the issues shooting up the global agenda, the gap between the richest and the rest is widening fast.” While world leaders such as President Barack Obama and International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde have talked about tackling extreme economic inequality “we are still waiting for many of them to walk the walk,” Byanyima said. The health care and financial services industries spent almost $900 million to lobby the U.S. government for favorable legislation in 2013, and more than $200 million was spent on lobbying in the EU, Oxfam said.

to use the congressional budget process to derail the 2010 law or save the special step for more traditional purposes like cutting spending or overhauling the tax code. A potentially divisive debate between tea party forces and GOP pragmatists looms. At issue is an arcane process known as budget reconciliation. It’s the only filibuster-proof option available to Republicans, who control the Senate with 54 seats but must still muster 60 votes to pass other legislation. Senate precedents limit the number of reconciliation bills — one for taxes, one for spending and one to raise the government’s borrowing cap — and so a major debate has begun among Republicans over what to put in it. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told a Heritage Foundation gathering of conservatives last week that Republicans should “use every procedural tool available, including reconciliation, to repeal Obamacare with 51 votes in the Senate.” That’s a view shared by conservative groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund and Heritage Action, and prominent voices on the right like Erick Erickson, publisher of the Redstate.com conservative blog. “It’s time to stop pussy-footing around with excuses and half-assed attempts at partial repeal, and get serious,” Erickson wrote last week. “Make Obama veto the repeal of his signature legislation.”

One dead in Cincinnati overpass collapse CINCINNATI — Officials say one person died and another person was injured when a highway overpass collapsed in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that according to a police dispatch the southbound interstate 75 was closed indefinitely after the collapse of an overpass north of the old Hopple Street bridge. It happened at about 10:30 p.m. Monday. The newspaper reports at least one tractor trailer was damaged by the collapse. Fire and EMS officials say one construction worker was killed and a tractor trailer driver was injured. A witness told WLWT5 that he heard “a real big boom” and then a couple of seconds later he saw police cars rushing to the scene. New Mexican wire services

WASHINGTON — Cheap oil doesn’t only mean cheaper gas in the tank. It means that a car dealer in Illinois is shuffling the inventory of models he’ll be selling, that more students in Wisconsin may get school-provided iPads, that some planned projects in a Southern California city will get delayed, and that some expected oilfield hiring in North Dakota and Texas may not happen. In ways large and small, plummeting oil prices are now reverberating through businesses, towns, schools and family budgets, causing confusion and changing plans. With prices having fallen by nearly half in just six months, the potential impact has been sudden and wide ranging. “I’m always chasing my tail,” said Ron Hicks, who has sold cars for 10 years in Galesburg, Ill., and overall for 38 years, and suddenly finds himself with too many smaller fuel-efficient cars on his City Select lot when trucks and sports cars might sell better. “I need to be smarter even than I’ve been in the past. I need to find the balance.” Fuel is a major cost item for many businesses and local governments, and the recent changes are upending budgets that were drafted month ago and used to plan hiring and authorize projects for 2015. For a medium-sized city with police cars and garbage trucks to fuel, gasoline costs can amount to several hundred thousand dollars annually. But oil is also a revenue source in more than two dozen states, especially for about a third of them. In Alaska, where up to 90 percent of the budget is funded by oil, new Gov. Bill Walker has ordered agency heads to start identifying spending cuts. “This pullback caught most everyone by surprise,” Brian M. Youngberg, a senior energy analyst for Edward Jones wrote in analysis last week. The stakes are especially high for transportation companies. But at Delta Airlines, which now projects $1.7 billion in fuel savings in 2015, no adjustments are envisioned, at least in ticket prices. “When it comes lower, hang on to all of it,” Delta CEO Richard Anderson told investors in December about likely profits. “That’s kind of our philosophy.” In states like North Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas, which have reaped the benefits of a domestic oil boom, the retrenchment is beginning. Drilling and extraction jobs that soared from 293,000 to more than 586,000 since 2003 are now heading back down. In Houston, the self-declared “Energy Capital of the World,” the local Association of Realtors predicts home sales will slide between 10 percent and 12 percent in 2015. A handful of housing projects being built on the fringes of the Bakken oil patch in North Dakota have paused or slowed down as developers reassess. In many cities, budgets are back on the drawing board. In Long Beach, Calif., where man-made islands built to pump oil sit just off shore, the city is deciding which capital projects can still move forward. Oil revenue pays for the basketball courts, pools and other amenities on the waterfront, but there is only $95 million on hand for $232 million in work authorized. “You ask anyone on the street, including here in Long Beach, they’re excited that they’re paying less at the gas pump,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “But we do rely on oil particularly for these capital projects.” But in the West Allis-West Milwaukee school district in Wisconsin, $16,000 in unexpected fuel savings is accelerating an initiative to provide iPads for all 10,000 students.“It’s definitely better to be able to use that money on textbooks and instructional materials in classrooms rather than gasoline,” said Interim Superintendent Paul Strobel.

Clarification A story on Page A-6 of the Jan. 14, 2015, edition about Public Service Company of New Mexico’s plan to replace power at a coal-powered company requires a clarification regarding the reasons that costs listed in the company’s current proposal are higher than those in the company’s original plan. Pat O’Connell, PNM’s director of resource planning, confirmed during recent testimony before the Public Regulation Commission that the costs of the plan are about $1 billion more than estimates in the company’s original power replacement plan, which was submitted to state regulators in December 2013. The cost estimates increased over the last year and included the planned purchase of an additional 54 megawatts of coal-generated capacity for PNM at San Juan’s Unit 4 and an adjustment for changes in the forecast demand from customers for electricity. Another $532 million in fixed capital maintenance costs were added to the estimated costs of the power replacement plan in August. Correcting a fuel cost error added another $367 million to the plan. Even with the additional costs, PNM believes the power replacement plan it presented to state regulators would be the best for customers when compared with hundreds of options it analyzed that involve various fuel sources.

Corrections An article published on Page C-1 of the Jan. 18, 2015, edition about former Los Alamos National Laboratory employee James Doyle, who claims his firing was related to an article he wrote promoting nuclear disarmament, incorrectly quoted a remark by Doyle. The story reported that Doyle said, “Our superior people were really concerned” regarding sensitive information. Doyle actually said, “Our security people were really concerned.”

uuu A story on Page A-1 of the Jan. 19, 2015, edition about a homicide investigation incorrectly spelled the last name of the victim because it was misspelled in a news release from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office. The victim’s name is Julieanne Kelley.

Climate-change stand deepens conservatives’ distrust of pope

Forbes and TownHall.com, writers had accused the pope of adopting a radical environmental agenda. “Pope Francis — and I say this as

a Catholic — is a complete disaster when it comes to his public policy pronouncements,” wrote Steve Moore, chief economist of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.” At the website of the Catholic journal First Things, a blogger accused the pope of promoting “theologized propaganda” on conservation. While Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI took strong stands in favor of environmental protection, Francis will be the first to address climate change in such a significant way. Francis’ strong and frequent denunciations of the global financial system and trickle-down economic theories prompted radio host Rush Limbaugh to call the pope’s economic views “pure Marxism.” The pontiff has said he is simply quoting church teaching on helping the poor.

After Francis helped normalize U.S. relations with Cuba, Sen. Marco Rubio, a Cuban American and Florida Republican said he would “ask His Holiness to take up the cause of freedom and democracy.” Those on all sides of the climate debate will be watching for how far the pope will delve into the science. The Rev. James Bretzke, a moral theologian at Boston College, predicts the document will address larger spiritual and moral themes, such as care for God’s creation and the poor who are most affected by climate change. Francis is due to speak at the United Nations in New York in September where he may press the assembly on global warming before climate change talks begin. He has already urged negotiators to be “courageous.”

What happened with Obama’s promises for 2014? and eligible for work permits.

By Nedra Pickler The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama used his last State of the Union to declare 2014 a “Year of Action,” and he can claim credit for accomplishing several of the goals he laid out. The smaller ones. That’s because while he was able to check off most of what he promised to do through executive action in last year’s speech, Obama was unable in the bitterly partisan election year to get Congress to go along with the bigger plans he had for the country that required their approval. As Obama prepares to address Congress once again, here’s a look back at five of the promises he made — and which got fulfilled and denied.

Immigration “Let’s get immigration reform done this year,” Obama

Minimum wage

declared to a Congress that had long blocked his efforts. And so he did, although it was not the broad plan he envisioned that would have allowed a path to citizenship for more than

11 million immigrants illegally in the United States. Instead, Obama took executive action to make more than 4 million of those immigrants eligible for protection from deportation

One of Obama’s most ambitious ideas was to raise America’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour, upping the ante from the $9-an-hour proposal he made in the 2013 State of the Union. Congress wasn’t keen on the idea, but the president was able to unilaterally make the change for new federal contractors. The White House estimated it would directly help a few hundred thousand people, but argues the bigger impact has been that several states and localities raised their minimum wage last year after Obama raised the debate.

Retirement savings Obama was able to create a new retirement savings account — dubbed “myRA” for “my IRA” — geared toward low- and middle-income Americans who

don’t have the upfront investment that many commercial IRAs require. For years, Obama has been asking Congress to encourage more Americans to grow a retirement nest egg by allowing all workers to be automatically enrolled in IRAs unless they specifically opt out. But Congress hasn’t acted on that, so Obama offered the more modest myRA plan. The Treasury Department has set up a new security as the basis for the investment and for the past month has been running a pilot program with a small group of employers, with plans to expand the program by the end of 2015.

Taxes While most of Obama’s proposals last year were positions he had long advocated, one of the few new proposals he offered was extension of the earned-income tax credit, which helps boost the wages of

low-income families through tax refunds. Obama wanted it broadened to provide more help to workers without children, a view embraced by some Republicans and conservative economists. “Let’s work together to strengthen the credit, reward work, and help more Americans get ahead,” Obama said optimistically — too optimistically, it turned out. The proposal never passed.

Energy Obama said the goal of his energy policy is to create jobs and a cleaner planet and announced that he wanted to set higher fuel economy standards for trucks. He followed up by visiting a Safeway distribution center to promote the idea. The process for making the change is underway within the administration, with a new regulation planned to be proposed in March 2015 and finalized in March 2016.

A friend of the family, who didn’t want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the case, described Julieanne Kelley as a “quiet, reserved and very sweet” woman who played Scrabble with her father and “made the best breakfast burritos.” On Friday, Darlene Lopez, a cousin, posted a comment on Facebook posting that said, “Today is one of the hardest days of my life!

Rating: Speech to air at 7 p.m. Continued from Page A-1 Only a handful of modern elections have not had an incumbent president on the ballot. In these contests, the president’s approval ratings are unsurprisingly less important than when a president is running for re-election. So Obama’s approval ratings will matter in 2016, but it is hard to say how much. The balance of evidence suggests that the breakeven point for the presidential party’s odds of victory is at or nearly 50 percent approval. If the only thing you knew about the 2016 election was Obama’s approval rating on Election Day, you might guess that the Democrats had a 37 percent chance of holding the White House with a 46 percent rating — rather than a 23 percent chance with a 41 percent rating. The difference between 41 and 46 might be worth between 1 and 2 percentage points to the Democratic candidate in 2016 — the difference between a close race and a modest but clear Republican victory. Obama’s surge among Hispanic voters might be particularly telling. It is a sign that Democraticleaning voters dissatisfied with Obama’s performance might not be so disillusioned that they can’t be lured back to the Democrats by the issues and messages that brought them to the party in the first place. The president’s ratings among liberals and Democrats remain mediocre — perhaps only in the low 70s and low 80s, respectively — suggesting that there are additional, low-hanging opportunities for Obama and his party’s next nominee. Of course, there’s a long time between now and 2016. Obama’s ratings could continue to climb with sustained economic growth; they might relapse with another round of bad news. But the modest improvement in Obama’s standing suggests that the Republicans cannot count on an easy midtermlike victory if the economy continues to grow at a healthy pace.

and the U.S. government. To others, though, his legacy remains marred by the violence of his activism, the unsolved murder of a county jailer and the anti-Semitic views he espoused most vociferously later in his life. “He was a real good man,” said Moises Morales, who was around 20 when he participated in the 1967 raid led by Tijerina. Two people were shot and wounded, another was beaten and others were taken hostage during the raid. “He helped a lot of people, and he opened people’s eyes up about the land grants and how they took lands away from our people. I learned a lot from Reies. He was like a mentor to me on a lot of issues, on the land grants and water. Without land and water, we are nothing. Without our common lands and our history, we are nothing.” Morales, now Rio Arriba County clerk and a former commissioner for that county, said he started following the leader after hearing him speak on the radio, and he later became Tijerina’s own bodyguard and chauffeur, driving him all over Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado to speak in rural communities about land grand issues. “He said he didn’t want any violence,” Morales said about discussions that took place leading up to the raid. “But it got a little out of hand.” Morales said Tijerina’s intention the day of the raid was to make a citizen’s arrest on thenDistrict Attorney Alfonso Sanchez — who a few days earlier had disbanded a meeting of La Alianza Federal de Mercedes [the organization Tijerina founded in the early 1960s that sought to restore the land grant rights promised by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo] and arrested several of its members. They planned to bring Sanchez to Santa Fe, where they hoped he would be prosecuted for violating the group’s right to assemble. Morales said Tijerina sent him to Española to buy a few sacks of potatoes and beans the morning of the raid, and on the drive he heard that the members of the group who had been arrested would be arraigned that day at the courthouse, so they planned to liberate those prisoners, as well. But when Tijerina and his group arrived at the courthouse later that day, neither Sanchez nor the arrested members of the group were at the courthouse, and the confrontation spun out of control. State Rep. Nick Salazar, D-Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, was a Rio Arriba County commissioner when he was held captive for several hours at the courthouse on the day of raid. In an interview Monday, Salazar recalled how he arrived at the courthouse early that morning for a commission meeting. “It seemed like there was something in the air,” he said. “The secretaries had heard something.” Nothing happened, he said, until after he and other county officials returned to the the courthouse that afternoon after lunch in nearby Chama. “We came back and all hell broke loose,” Salazar said. “They came in and pointed guns at us. A state police officer got shot.” Salazar recalled that someone pointed a gun to the back of his head.

“I remember seeing this beautiful girl with black curly hair and big silver earrings with a cartridge belt across her chest,” Salazar said. “I thought, ‘What in the world is someone like that doing here?’ ” Despite having a gun pointed at his head, Salazar said he didn’t think Tijerina and the raiders were out to hurt him or the others in the commission chambers. “They were more determined to fight law enforcement,” he said. Of Tijerina, he said, “He was trying to do the right thing for the people who were cheated out of their land. I don’t think he went about it the right way, but I’ve never felt any animosity toward him.” The group escaped the courthouse without being arrested that day — although New Mexico State Police and the National Guard were called in to search the hills for them. The image of National Guard tanks rumbling along muddy roads next to donkey-drawn carts was irresistible, and for a time the story became a national sensation. Years later, Tijerina was convicted of destruction of public property for burning a Forest Service sign and spent two years in prison, according to David Correia, author Properties of Violence: Law and Land Grant Struggles in Northern New Mexico, who interviewed Tijerina several times. Seven months after the raid, however, Eulogio Salazar, a Rio Arriba County jailer who was wounded in the raid, was found murdered a short time before he was to testify that Tijerina shot him in the raid. Tijerina always denied any connection with the killing and later claimed it was part of a sweeping Jewish conspiracy to discredit him. He also claimed the FBI and the CIA had burned or bombed at least 10 of his homes. “He is not a hero,” Salazar’s cousin, Michael Olivas, a Santa Fe resident and law professor at the University of Houston, told The Associated Press.

In the beginning

Tijerina was born Sept. 21, 1926, near the tiny town of Falls City, Texas, about 50 miles southeast of San Antonio, to Antonio and Erlinda Tijerina. He was one of seven children. “The poor treatment of Mexican labor in the commercialized and impersonal economy set in Tijerina’s mind a lasting bitterness brought on by a racial caste system, low wages, and harsh living conditions,” wrote Rudy V. Busto in his book King Tiger: The Religious Vision of Reies Lopez Tijerina. After the death of his mother, while Tijerina was still young, the family spent years as migrant farm workers. Tijerina spent a period in school in San Antonio, but he was forced to leave after the third grade and picked up what education he could after that, Bustos wrote. By age 14, Tigerina began confronting Anglo landowners over working conditions. Unhappy with their treatment, he and his brothers moved north to work in automobile factories in Michigan. He also earned money working in beet fields, where he came across a missionary who

launched him down the road toward becoming a Pentecostal preacher. After several years as a pastor, Tijerina and more than a dozen families who followed his teachings started a religious commune in Arizona called the Valley of Peace. Always a magnet for controversy, Tijerina’s group attracted the ire of locals, who burned down the settlement. Tijerina also tangled with local police over theft charges. He and a group of followers fled and resurfaced in New Mexico, where his interests turned increasingly to politics and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the 1848 agreement formalizing the end of the Mexican-American War. The document guaranteed the land rights of Mexican and Pueblo residents to land ceded from Mexico to the United States, land that largely had been usurped by Anglo settlers and the U.S. government over the decades.

In the end With his booming voice and unflagging charisma, Tijierina inspired followers by being well-spoken and informed on the subjects about which he spoke, but people who interviewed him later in life noted that he had became increasingly anti-Semitic and obsessed with religious-based conspiracies. In a rare 1997 interview with The New Mexican, after years of living in seclusion in Mexico, he predicted all the land grant issues would be neatly decided by an atomic holocaust in the Middle East later that year that would not end the Earth but would disrupt it enough to put things back in order. Correia confirmed that Tijerina was easily distracted and paranoid the last time they spoke, but Correia said his paranoia was not totally unfounded. Tijerena was the target of FBI and CIA surveillance, his home in Canjilon and his Albuquerque office were both firebombed, and the car of one of his top lieutenants was blown up with a hand grenade, Correia said. The Albuquerque bombing of La Alianza offices, Correia said, was carried out by a former U.S. Marshal. “It’s such an irony that he died on Martin Luther King [Jr.] Day,” Correia said, noting that, like King and other civil rights leaders of the day, Tijerina’s name was placed on a list of racial agitators called the “rabble rouser index” created by former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. “One thing that has to be said,” Correia said, “if there is one legacy that is unbeatable, it’s that before he came into New Mexico even the state historian denied the existence of Spanish American Land Grants. After the courthouse raid, nobody denies the truth of the land grant history. He almost single-handedly transformed the way we think about New Mexican history.” A family member told The Associated Press that Tijerina died of natural causes.

U.S. supports diplomacy in Syria West backs away from Assad exit By Anne Barnard and Somini Sengupta The New York Times

Shiite rebels threaten stability in Yemen By Ahmed Al-Haj The Associated Press

SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s U.S.-backed leadership came under serious threat Monday as government troops clashed with Shiite rebels near the presidential palace and a key military base in what one official called “a step toward a coup.” The militants seized control of state media in fierce fighting that marked the biggest challenge yet to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi by the rebels, known as Houthi, who swept down from their northern strongholds last year and captured the capital in September. The violence threatened to undermine efforts by the U.S. and its allies to battle alQaida’s Yemeni affiliate, which claimed responsibility for the attack on a Paris satirical magazine this month and which

Washington has long viewed as the global network’s most dangerous branch. The Houthis and forces loyal to Hadi have been in a tense standoff for months and the two sides traded blame for the outbreak of violence Monday. Witnesses said heavy machine gun fire could be heard as artillery shells struck around the presidential palace. Civilians in the area fled as columns of black smoke rose over the palace and sirens wailed throughout the city. As fighting escalated Monday, the convoys of Yemen’s prime minister and a top official affiliated with the Houthis came under fire, and rebel fighters took over Yemen state television and its official SABA news agency, Information Minister Nadia Sakkaf said. “This is a step toward a coup and it is targeting the state’s legitimacy,” Sakkaf said.

BEIRUT — U.S. support for a pair of diplomatic initiatives in Syria underscores the shifting views of how to end the civil war there and the West’s quiet retreat from its demand that the country’s president, Bashar Assad, step down immediately. The Obama administration maintains that a lasting political solution requires Assad’s exit. But facing military stalemate, well-armed jihadis and the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, the United States is going along with international diplomatic efforts that could lead to more gradual change in Syria. That shift comes along with other American actions that Assad’s supporters and oppo-

nents take as proof Washington now believes that if Assad is ousted, there will be nothing to check the spreading chaos and extremism. U.S. warplanes now bomb the Islamic State group’s militants inside Syria, sharing skies with Syrian jets. U.S. officials assure Assad, through Iraqi intermediaries, that Syria’s military is not their target. The United States still trains and equips Syrian insurgents, but now mainly to fight the Islamic State, not the government. Now, the United States and other Western countries have publicly welcomed initiatives — one from the United Nations and one from Russia — that postpone any revival of the U.S.-backed Geneva framework, which called for a wholesale transfer of power to a “transitional governing body.” The last Geneva talks failed a year ago amid vehement disagreement over whether that body could include Assad.

Deadly Israeli airstrike deals blow to both Hezbollah and Iran BEIRUT — Thousands of mourners marched Monday in a funeral procession for a prominent Hezbollah fighter killed with five other members of the Shiite militant group in an Israeli airstrike Sunday in Syria’s Golan Heights. Tehran announced that the strike also killed a senior Iranian general. Since Syria’s conflict began in March 2011, Israel has carried out several airstrikes in Syria that have targeted

One of the new concepts is a U.N. proposal to “freeze” the fighting on the ground, first in the strategic crossroads city of Aleppo. The other is an initiative from Russia, Assad’s most powerful supporter, to try to spur talks between the warring sides in Moscow in late January. Diplomats and others briefed on the plans say one Russian vision is of power-sharing between Assad’s government and some opposition figures, and perhaps parliamentary elections that would precede any change in the presidency. Secretary of State John Kerry declared last week that the United States welcomed both initiatives. He made no call for Assad’s resignation, a notable omission from Kerry, who has typically insisted on it in public remarks. Instead, he spoke of Assad as a leader who needed to change his policies. On Thursday in Geneva, Staffan de Mistura, the U.N.

envoy for the crisis in Syria, also signaled a tactical shift, saying that “new factors” such as the growth of the Islamic State, also called ISIS or ISIL, must be taken into account. He said there was no point in trying to organize a third round of Geneva talks before building support from both the Syrian government and its opponents. Western leaders now openly talk about a deal allowing some current officials to remain to prevent Syria from disintegrating, like Iraq and Libya. The view that the United States supports Assad is spreading even among the groups receiving direct U.S. financing, groups deemed moderate enough to receive arms and work with a United States-run operations center in Turkey. A fighter with Harakat Hazm, said Wednesday that America was “looking for loopholes to reach a political solution and keep al-Assad.”

2015 Legislature Panel challenges Health Department’s $6.4M request Proposed amount well exceeds governor’s $1M By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

When leaders from the New Mexico Department of Health asked lawmakers Monday for an extra $6.4 million, they received a stern rebuke instead. Members of the Legislative Finance Committee questioned the department’s spending and suggested that perhaps state-run nursing homes and treatment centers for mental health and substance abuse would be better off without the Department of Health’s oversight. “I’m not sure if … we need to redefine and reorganize how we do things,” said Sen. Carlos Cisneros,

D-Questa, “but clearly what we’re doing is not working. We know that.” The Department of Health’s request for more money highlights the tight financial constraints the state is facing as a new legislative session begins Tuesday. Dramatically falling oil prices have driven down revenue expectations for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Outside the few priority programs that Gov. Susana Martinez and legislators have identified as crucial — public schools, economic development and child protection — there is little money to spread around. The $6.4 million increase that the Department of Health is seeking for its budget to run seven state-operated health facilities in the coming year far exceeds the $1 million that the governor’s budget staff have proposed, and the legislative budget office has rec-

ommended no increase. Even as the number of people receiving care and treatment in the state’s health facilities has declined in recent years, spending on overtime and contract personnel to staff them has risen, according to an analysis by Legislative Finance Committee staff. Collectively, the centers are just 60 percent full, the most recent data on occupancy from July, August and September showed. However, spending on contract employees at the centers in lieu of permanent staff has risen to nearly $4.3 million, when it stood at just $1.3 million two years ago. Spending on employee overtime also has climbed sharply, growing by 48 percent to $10.7 million from $7.2 million in 2009. Legislative Finance Committee staff recommended that the Department

of Health could save money by filling vacant positions with permanent employees. Between 2008 and 2013, the department returned more than $15 million in unspent money to the state, largely because of savings from leaving positions vacant, committee staff reported. Together with the unspent money the department historically has returned to the state, the request for millions of dollars more in the next budget “suggests problematic spending,” according to a Legislative Finance Committee staff report released Monday. Retta Ward, Martinez’s Cabinet secretary for the Department of Health, said the department already is making progress filling vacant positions. As of last week, the vacancy rate at state-run health facilities, when pending hires are included, stood at 12 percent, compared

Poll: Public wants lobbyist disclosure By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

An overwhelming majority of New Mexicans believe that lobbyists should have to make public the bills and issues for which they have been paid to advocate, according to a poll released Monday. Results of the poll, paid for by the government watchdog group Common Cause New Mexico, also showed that 64 percent of New Mexicans surveyed firmly believe New Mexico’s elected officials are more responsive to lobbyists than to voters. Only 19 percent said they believe elected officials are more responsive to voters. The telephone poll conducted by New Mexico Research & Polling found wide support for stricter campaign finance disclosures, establishing a state ethics com-

mission and requiring legislators to wait at least two years before becoming lobbyists. “The results of this poll confirm what we’ve been saying for several years, namely that everyone deserves to know who is lobbying and paying for the campaigns of our elected officials, and everyone should be held accountable for their actions,” Viki Harrison, executive director of Common Cause New Mexico, said in a written statement Monday. Making lobbyists disclose the bills they are working will be the purpose of legislation to be introduced in the 2015 session by Rep. Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces. An 89 percent share of poll respondents said that is a good idea, while only 8 percent said it is a bad idea. Under current law, lobbyists must submit forms identifying their

Legislative roundup Days remaining in the session: 60 Gov. Susana Martinez will give the annual State of the State address Tuesday to a joint session of the New Mexico Legislature. The speech will begin sometime after the Legislature officially convenes at noon. The starting time for her speech is expected to be about 1 p.m. KNME TV Channel 5.1 will broadcast the speech and stream it live on the website of New Mexico In Focus, www.newmexicoinfocus.org. The Santa Fe New Mexican website, www.santafenewmexican.com, also will have a live stream of the speech. Instant analysis: KNME will host a panel discussion after the speech. Panelists will include former state Sen. Mark Boitano, R-Albuquerque; former Senate President Pro Tem Richard Romero, D-Albuquerque; Gabriel Sanchez, a political science professor at The University of New Mexico; and Margaret Wright of the New Mexico Political Report, a new liberal news website. Gene Grant, host of the weekly public affairs program New Mexico In Focus, will moderate. Twenty new members: The House and Senate have business to conduct on opening day. The House must swear in its 70 members, 19 of whom are freshmen. The 42-member Senate will swear in one new member, Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque. Bernalillo County commissioners appointed the veteran House member to replace former Sen. Tim Keller, who was elected state auditor. High price of victory: Freshman state Rep. Bealquin Gomez says he is beginning his legislative career with substantial debt. “I’ve got $37,000 in legal bills,” he said in an interview Monday. Gomez, a Democrat from La Mesa in Doña Ana County, defeated longtime Rep. Mary Helen Garcia in last year’s primary election. She sued, challenging his win in state District Court. Gomez said his legal fees were hefty but worthwhile.

to a 19 percent vacancy rate at the same time last year. Low occupancy and high rates of patients who can’t pay for services are hurting the department’s bottom line. As care centers of last resort, the state facilities have not benefited from Medicaid expansion or the state’s growing number of insured residents under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act because a high rate of the people they treat have no means of payment at all, Ward said. Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, said the financial struggles at department-operated facilities warrant an evaluation to determine whether the Department of Health should continue to manage those centers in the future or whether the facilities should become an independent agency unto themselves.

clients, but there is no mechanism to disclose which individual bills they are working for or against. The poll asked whether the respondents favor making public all contributions — from individuals, corporations, political action committees, unions or nonprofits. A total of 92 percent favored that idea. That’s up from 87 percent last year. Nonprofits can’t legally donate directly to candidates, though they can buy “issue ads” that are directed at candidates they support or oppose. Under current law, independent expenditure groups, which are not directly connected to a campaign, are not required to reveal the sources of their money. The poll is based on results of telephone interviews with 451 registered New Mexico voters, conducted Jan. 9. It has a statistical margin of error of 4 percent.

He won the court case, and that kept his election victory on the books. Capital idea: State Rep. Brian Egolf of Santa Fe, the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, is trying again to create a small business development fund. Egolf has introduced a bill that would allow up to $100 million of the state’s severance tax endowment to be directed to the development fund for investments. His proposal is likely to face opposition. Republicans are in control of the House of Representatives for the first time since 1954, and they have been wary of tapping state endowments for new programs. Egolf says small businesses are the bedrock of any economy, and his bill addresses the problem of how companies get access to money they need to grow. First order of business: The House is expected to pass House Bill 1, the Feed Bill. It will provide money for the costs of the session, such as daily expense allowances for the 112 legislators. Democrats’ watchword: When House Democrats outlined their legislative priorities Monday, several of the 33 members used the word security to sum up what they hope to achieve. State residents are looking for more security in schools by having quality teachers and they want to feel more secure economically so they can pay their mortgage, Egolf said. The government’s job is to create the right climate and structure, he said. Then, “if you work hard and play by the rules, there will be tremendous opportunity for you,” Egolf said. The New Mexican

While New Mexico has increased programs and funding for early childhood education — including $9 million for home-visiting services since 2007 — many children are still not being reached because of a lack of financing, collaboration and communication, according to a report presented Monday to the Legislative Finance Committee. For example, it would cost the state another $44 million to conduct home visits to half of the state’s low-income families dealing with a first-time birth, the report notes. And the state is not collecting information about the poverty status of families receiving home-visiting services, which means it may not be prioritizing its neediest at-risk citizens. The report also notes that the quality of pre-K programs in the state has dropped off slightly since 2008, to 3.88 from 4.12 on a scale of 1 (inadequate) to 7 (excellent). But Leighann Lenti, the Public Education Department’s deputy secretary for policy and programs, said the state only recently expanded Pre-K and K-3 Plus programming — adding 25 days of learning to the school year over the summer months — and “it takes them a couple of years to hit the full threshold.” Among the report’s recommendations: Direct the Children, Youth and Families Department to develop a plan for expanding home-visiting services to low-income families; increase funding to expand home-visiting services; incrementally increase financing for K-3 Plus;

and expand Pre-K programs for 3-yearolds and low-income 4-year-olds. National reports on the impact of early childhood education programs indicate they better prepare students to enter kindergarten and the K-12 school system. Yet other reports, including one from the nonprofit research think tank Brookings Institution, yield mixed results, and a 2013 Legislative Finance Committee report said not all of the state’s early childhood programs are netting positive academic results. With the exception of private providers, the bulk of the state’s early childhood programs are directed and funded by either the Children, Youth and Families Department or the Public Education Department. For the most part, committee members asked few questions following the presentation, although Rep. Larry Larrañaga, R-Albuquerque, asked whether early childhood services are being duplicated and whether there are any state-mandated eligibility requirements for home-visiting clients. The answer to each question is no. The Legislative Finance Committee recommends investing $260 million in early childhood education programs for the next fiscal year, a boost of $24 million. Rep.

Amazon to start movie operation, with a quick streaming tie-in Company would make 12 movies a year, VP says By Emily Steel The New York Times

First the small screen, now the big screen. Amazon’s entertainment ambitions come in all sizes. After winning acclaim for one of its original television productions, Amazon announced Monday that it would produce and acquire films for theatrical release and early distribution on its Prime Instant Video service. Amazon original movies will be available for U.S. streaming four to eight weeks after they make their debut in theaters, a significant reduction of the window of 39 to 52 weeks that films normally play in theaters before becoming available for streaming. The development is another step in Amazon’s ambitious plan to increase its entertainment offering to consumers, and an escalation in Amazon’s rivalry with Netflix. It also signals both companies’ broader ambitions to revolutionize the so-called windowing system for TV and movies in the traditional entertainment industry. In the fall, Netflix announced movie deals with comedian Adam Sandler and also said it would release a sequel to the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon simultaneously across the globe and in a select number of Imax theaters. Both companies already have shaken up the model for television, making shows available for streaming soon after they are televised on traditional networks and also releasing original series they produce all at once. Amazon said it was seeking

to create 12 movies a year that “focus on unique stories, voices, and characters from top and upand-coming Roy Price creators.” Production will start later this year. In an email, Roy Price, vice president of Amazon Studios, described the projects as “indie” movies, with budgets between $5 million and $25 million. Analysts cautioned that if the films were low-budget and of low quality, it would be difficult for them to profoundly alter the conventional system for theatrical releases. Still, said Rich Greenfield, a media analyst with BTIG Research, the announcement adds to the pressure on traditional business models and gives consumers more of what they want. “In 2015, consumers don’t understand why there is an exceedingly wide gap between seeing a movie in a theater or seeing a movie at home,” he said. Monday’s news comes one week after Amazon’s original series Transparent, a dark comedy about a family in which the father comes out as transgender, won a Golden Globe for television comedy. It was the first time that a streaming service landed a best-series award in the television category at the Globes. Also last week, Amazon announced that it had reached a deal with filmmaker Woody Allen, in which he would write and direct his first television series. Few details about the production, which is scheduled to make its debut on the service next year, were available.

Jindal: Muslims form ‘no-go zones’ outside civic control La. governor: Some immigrants seek to ‘colonize’ the West By Philip Elliott The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Some countries have allowed Muslims to establish autonomous neighborhoods in cities where they govern by a harsh version of Islamic law, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Monday during a speech in London. The Republican, who is considering a presidential campaign in 2016, later defended — and repeated — the statement after facing reporters’ questions about his claims. In a speech prepared for delivery at a British think tank, Jindal said some immigrants are seeking “to colonize Western countries, because setting up your own enclave and demanding recognition of a no-go zone are exactly that.” He also said Muslim leaders must condemn the people who commit terrorism in the name of faith as “murderers who are going to hell.” Jindal aides said he did not make significant changes to the prepared text. The claims on “no-go zones” are similar to those a Fox News guest made last week about places where non-Muslims were not welcome in parts of the United Kingdom such as Birmingham, and “Muslim religious police” enforce faithbased laws. Steven Emerson, an American author who often is asked about terror networks, told Fox News that in Britain “there are actual cities like Birming-

ham that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in.” Prime Minister David Bobby Jindal Cameron responded by calling Emerson a “complete idiot.” Emerson later apologized. Jindal, however, used similar rhetoric during a speech, warning of “no-go zones” in London and other Western cities. “I knew that by speaking the truth we were going to make people upset,” Jindal told CNN during an interview from London. “The huge issue, the big issue in non-assimilation is the fact that you have people that want to come to our country but not adopt our values, not adopt our language and in some cases want to set apart their own enclaves and hold onto their own values,” said Jindal. “I think that’s dangerous.” Jindal’s parents immigrated to the United States from India. As a young man, Jindal converted from Hinduism to Catholicism. Asked for evidence of “nogo zones,” Jindal pointed to a weekend article in The Daily Mail, a London tabloid, that said killings, sexual abuse of minors and female genital mutilation are believed to go unreported to local police in some areas. The article did not give specific religious groups or towns. “The bigger point is that radical Islam is a threat to our way of life,” Jindal said. Asked if he regretted talking about “no-go zones,” Jindal replied: “Not at all.”

City considers starting help line Albuquerque, other cities use 311 for non-emergency calls By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

When Santa Fe residents encounter a life-threatening emergency, they call 911. But where do they call to report a broken streetlight or a barking dog? Hoping to make it easier for residents to navigate their government, the city of Santa Fe is in the early stages of developing a single telephone number for non-emergency questions and services. “It’s a long time coming,”

City Councilor Patti Bushee said Monday of a 311 pilot project, which the Finance Committee will consider Tuesday. “The public really deserves a more responsive City Hall,” said Bushee, who has been advocating a 311 call center since at least 2008. The proposed pilot project comes on the heels of a Dec. 10 City Council presentation from Esther Tenenbaum, head of the 311 Citizen Contact Center for the city of Albuquerque. “There are now hundreds of cities that have 311s, large and small,” Tenenbaum told councilors last month. It’s unclear how much the pilot project would cost. The packet for Tuesday’s commit-

tee meeting was at City Hall, which was closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Sevastian Gurule, the city’s Constituent Services Division director, did not return a message seeking more information about the pilot project. Bushee said the pilot project would have “no real fiscal impact at this moment” because it mostly involved reassigning existing staff. But she acknowledged that creating a 311 call center would eventually be costly.

Nursing home plan stirs concern Southeast-side residents say proposed facility a bad fit for neighborhood By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Residents of southeast Santa Fe are voicing concerns with a preliminary plan to build an 80,000-square-foot nursing home next to the Elks Lodge on Old Pecos Trail. Neighbors say the 104-bed “continuing care facility” that Colorado-based MorningStar Senior Living is proposing for 1615 Old Pecos Trail doesn’t fit the cultural character or residential density of the neighborhood. “It’s totally inappropriate,” said Kenneth Jacks, who has lived in Santa Fe more than three decades, including the last 10 on nearby East Zia Road. “There is no need for a facility of this kind on the property,” Jacks said Monday while walking near the piñon- and juniper-covered hill eyed for development. “There’s commercial property available in this city that could accommodate this in a much more appropriate location.” Efforts to reach representatives from MorningStar and its agent, Montoya Land Use Consulting Inc., were unsuccessful Monday. Dan Esquibel, a senior land use planner for the city who is working on the project, also could not be reached. City government offices were closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Neighbors say the building would be located along Old Pecos Trail and Calle de Sebastian on 3.3 acres currently zoned R-1, or one residence per acre. “The Elks Club plan is to keep their existing building and sell the northern 3.3 acres of their [estimated 8.5-acre property] to MorningStar Senior Living,” according to a flyer that neighbors are circulating ahead of a neighborhood notifi-

In brief Police suspect same person in two robberies Santa Fe police said a man who robbed a Subway restaurant Monday night on Airport Road appears to be the same person who robbed a store on Osage Avenue the previous day. Witnesses told officers that they saw the black handle of a gun in the waistband of the robber who stole from the Subway at 4350 Airport Road about 7:11 p.m. Monday. He is described as about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a slender build. He was wearing a long, green jacket, blue jeans and gray tennis shoes, a police news release states. The male, who surveillance images show was wearing a hooded garment, covered his face with his right hand. Police said the suspect has hazel eyes, black polished thumb nails and was wearing a ring on his left ring finger. About 5:23 p.m. Sunday, a man with a similar description got away with an undetermined amount of cash from Los Panchitos Mini Mart, 1310 Osage Ave. Authorities ask that anyone with information call 428-3710.

cation meeting Thursday. David Fitzgerald, whose title is exalted ruler of the Elks Lodge, did not return a message seeking comment. Thursday’s meeting, which is required by the city, will be at 5:30 p.m. at the Santa Fe Woman’s Club, 1616 Old Pecos Trail. Jacks said the meeting will be the second in recent weeks and that the applicant is expected to present a modified proposal based on feedback from that first meeting. “My basic premise is that there is a better location in Santa Fe for this, and I would certainly be willing to help find it,” he said. Jacks’ primary concerns are the size of the proposed building, which he said would be 10 percent larger than the Santa

Fe Community Convention Center, and high water demand from such a project in a largely residential neighborhood. He hopes the community can copy a deal reached in 2009 in which land in the Sun Mountain foothills was protected from development. “Tentative contacts have been made toward having a sit-down with the Elks sometime in the near future to see if we can work out something that is for the benefit of both the Elks and this community and the larger community of Santa Fe,” he said.

While attending Santa Fe High School, he worked at a print shop and then at his father’s engraving plant, the Albuquerque paper said. He served in the U.S. Air Force, was stationed in Japan following World War II and fought in the Korean conflict. McCrossen studied journalism at The University of New Mexico, where he was editor of the Daily Lobo. He later worked for United Press International in Santa Fe, as well as newspapers in Valencia County, Carlsbad, Raton, Gallup and Phoenix. He went to work for the Albuquerque Journal in 1969, and from 1975 until his retirement in 1995 held the title of editorial page editor. McCrossen was born in Michigan on Feb. 23, 1931. The following year, his family moved to Santa Fe, where they opened McCrossen Handwoven Textiles on Cerrillos Road, the Journal reported. Survivors include his wife of 30 years, Shirley Wigren. The newspaper said a memorial service will be announced at a later date.

White Sands weighing admission fee hike LAS CRUCES — The public will be able to share their input about a proposal to increase admission for White Sands National Monument. The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that a monthlong public comment period for the proposed fee hikes ends Feb. 13. A National Park Service news release says the changes would make admission charges would be per vehicle, not per person. The proposal calls for changing the admission from $3 per person to $20 per vehicle. Every vehicle would have to pay $20 no matter how many passengers were present. Officials say the plan would bring revenue that would help pay for future park improvements. National monument Superintendent Marie Frías Sauter says officials are committed to keeping White Sands affordable and the fee increase is still a good value.

Who will judge what is free speech?

ike most in the free world, I am shocked and horrified by the killing of cartoonists and others in Paris. I have always been a strong supporter of the First Amendment, and in sixth grade, while presiding over the class meeting, someone started a filibuster. Realizing he had that right, I did not stop his speech (over 10 minutes) — it ended only when the school bell sounded! My concern now is where the line is between free speech and injurious invective (often false). For instance, in the 1930s, as the Nazis took over Germany, they created numerous cartoon posters and placed propaganda in the newspapers depicting the Jews as vile people who would poison wells, etc. These influenced not only the children but also many ignorant adults, thus helping cause the terrible results. Who is to be the judge of what is free speech? Frank Hirsch

A Croatian star I appreciated your article on Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovi (“First female president of Croatia is Los Alamos High alumna,” Jan. 13). She was one of the most exciting students in my long teaching career, and I want to share my experience with her while she was in my course on constitutionalism. I kept one of her essays

because of her depth of understanding. Living under Tito, surviving civil war and the breakup of Yugoslavia, Kolinda emerged with a superb background for becoming a president. In her essay, she quoted Thomas Jefferson, “I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. …” She wrote, “I believe these words to be some of the most beautiful ever written. …” And so they are! When I am filled with despair over the direction of this nation, I remember a young woman who became president of a new nation, a democracy. Mary Louise Williams

What do we value? Albert Einstein said, “Everything that can be counted doesn’t necessarily count and everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.” Our children and teachers are being starved of creative expression and critical thinking opportunities that the standardsbased, test-driven educational mandates have not figured out how to measure yet. Hanna Skandera’s Public Education Department is determined to measure our teachers’ worth based on numerical data — not their own unique genius, their call to teach, or their passion for working

with individual students, teaching to their strengths in a variety of modalities. Honoring identified learning styles, a movement in the late ’90s and early 2000s has been tossed out; Bloom’s full taxonomy for advancing to higher level thinking can’t be fit into the rigorous schedule of the school day. Over a decade of research in the ’90s on how arts education and creative curricula improve test scores has been discarded, and the pedagogical pendulum has long since swung back into pre-research days, pre-Howard Gardner/ Multiple Intelligence’s — beyond verballinguistic and mathematical, which Standards Based Assessment tests primarily measure (in addition to a recent emphasis on science). Social Studies is not even tested anymore (grades 3-8), which speaks volumes for what we value and emphasize. Judy Bell

COMMENTARY: LENORE SKENAZY

Children today seldom walk on their own

wo Maryland parents stand accused of doing the unthinkable: They trusted their kids, 10 and 6, to walk home from the park. The children got about halfway there when someone saw them and called the cops. For this, parents Danielle and Alexander Meitiv have been visited by the police and child protective services. Their kids were interviewed at school, without their consent. CPS even threatened to take their children away. All because we are having a hysterical moment in American society. We believe children are in danger every single second they are unsupervised. I learned this firsthand six years ago, when I let my 9-year-old ride the subway alone (we live in New York). I wrote a column about it. Two days later I found myself decried as “America’s worst mom” on the Today show, MSNBC, Fox News and NPR. That weekend I started my Free-Range Kids blog to explain my philosophy. Obviously, I love safety: My kid wears a helmet, got strapped into car seats, always wears his seat belt. But I don’t believe kids need a security detail every time they leave the house. When society thinks they do — and turns that fear into law — loving, rational parents get arrested. Six years of daily letters from readers later, I know my work is only too necessary. Consider these examples: u Over the summer, a South Carolina mom who sent her 9-year-old to play in a popular park was arrested for not supervising her child. She was held overnight in jail, and her daughter spent 17 days as a ward of the state.

u In the fall, an Austin, Texas, mom who let her 6-year-old play outside within view of the house was also visited by the cops and then child protective services. CPS interviewed her kids individually and even asked her 8-year-old daughter “if she had ever seen movies with people’s private parts,” the mom told me. “So my daughter, who didn’t know that things like that exist, does now. Thank you, CPS.” u Last week, I got an email from a mom in Maryland. She’d left her 10-yearold in the car, watching her 1-year-old, while she — the mom — ran into the grocery. Someone called the police. “I told him my daughter is responsible enough to watch her sleeping sister for 10 minutes, that I’ve never done it in the past but needed to get a few items, and [that] I didn’t want to wake her sister for that short a period of time,” she said. “He told me that a murderer that has never murdered anyone in the past doesn’t make him less of a murderer.” Look at that language. Murder. As if the mom had intentionally endangered her child’s life. The authorities act as if these children are “lucky” they made it out alive. But the facts don’t bear that out. Childhood abduction is exceedingly rare. As of 1999, the latest year for which we have statistics, the number of American children abducted in what’s known as a “stereotypical kidnapping” was 115, according to the Department of Justice. Of those, 40 percent, or about 50, were killed in a country of 72 million children under age 18. Sadly, children are in far more danger of being abused, kidnapped or killed by their

parents than by any stranger on the street. That’s why, when I interviewed Ernie Allen, then head of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, for my book, he told me, “We have been trying to debunk the myth of stranger danger.” He added that the safest kids are the ones with self-confidence. Consider that word. It isn’t “parentassisted-confidence.” To become street smart and self-reliant requires spending some time doing things on your own. Like walking home from the park, once your parents let you. On my television show World’s Worst Mom, I try to help parents do just that. I take parents who are too afraid to let their kids play on the front lawn, or go to a public bathroom by themselves (at age 13!) and make them let go. Then I whisk the kids off to play in the woods or walk to the park. When they come tumbling back, happy and hungry, the parents do something surprising: They grin. They’re so proud! So, that is my prescription now for America, including its cops and case workers: Instead of imagining the worst, send your kids out to do something you did at their age. You can even have them wait in the car a few minutes. Reality will break through the terror. And maybe we’ll stop criminalizing the parents who love their kids and also let them go.

he Santa Fe partnership with ABC’s The Bachelor — we believe — will pay off in publicity that makes spending $50,000 worthwhile. That’s why the controversial decision to woo the show was made; our money for 14.3 million people watching New Mexico on prime-time television. The vote and the subsequent fallout has taught other useful lessons as well. The essential lesson is the important of follow-through. Make sure the money is spent where intended and where it can do the most good. The council allocated up to $100,000 ($50,000 was spent) toward perks so that the show would come to Santa Fe and film its strange dating rituals. One main need was for hotel rooms for cast and crew. Rather than stay in Santa Fe, however, the film’s cast and crew stayed at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino, 20 minutes up the road. That means any money spent on rooms, etc., did not go to boost Santa Fe’s gross receipts tax revenues. We would argue that seeing Buffalo Thunder on television still helps Santa Fe — guests who stay there spend much of their time visiting the city. Visitors will be shopping and eating here, and most people outside the state will think of Buffalo Thunder as a Santa Fe attraction, not as its own destination. (After all, doesn’t the city of Santa Fe often throw its Christmas party there?) What’s more, city hotels could have stepped up to partner with The Bachelor. That would have kept the cast and crew closer to home. The resort deserves congratulations for recognizing an opportunity and grabbing it. However, why not, in the future, specify that money spent to attract TV shows or travel journalists or fancy visitors must be spent within the Santa Fe city limits? That means tax dollars don’t just provide publicity as the show airs, but that the money is spent inside Santa Fe and boosts the city’s bottom line in a way that money spent in Santa Fe County does not. Follow through, in other words, to make sure that the intent of the ordinance is carried out. Spend tax dollars close to home. Even the watch party for the Feb. 2 episode is at Buffalo Thunder — another missed opportunity for nightlife and fun within the city limits. Still, it will be a fun party at Buffalo Thunder — too bad someone in Santa Fe didn’t step up to grab the spotlight.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 20, 1915: London — The people of London are aghast and in a state approaching panic because of the raid last night by German airships which dropped bombs upon nine cities, causing tremendous damage. All the hostile craft are believed to have escaped. Three have been reported being sighted off the coast of Holland, believed to be returning from the attack. The number reported killed in the attack varies from four to nine. Jan. 20, 1965: Alamogordo — A grizzled New Mexico rancher who fought off Indians, rustlers and finally the U.S. Army, will be hauled into court again Jan. 29 for what may be his final battle. John Prather, 90, who gained fame in 1957 when he stood off the U.S. Army and federal marshals with a rifle and defied all efforts to move him from his ranch south of Alamogordo, has been served with papers in a suit brought by his son Tom Prather, who wants the aged rancher declared incompetent. He wants to be declared his father’s guardian but the manager of Prather’s ranch is married to Prather’s daughter and will oppose the bid for guardianship. In 1957 the government issued a check to John Prather for 40 sections of land on his ranch which the Army condemned for use as a missile range. The check for $106,985 has remained uncashed and the rancher said he would never surrender his ranch or move off — come missiles, hell or high water. Jan. 20, 1990: Actress Greer Garson said that she would not sell her sprawling Forked Lightning Ranch to a Florida developer who planned to build a resort on the property, but said that she still wants to sell the land just south of Pecos. The ailing actress, 80, who is hospitalized in Dallas, stopped further negotiations with the developer because of published reports about his criminal record in his native country and in Florida.

Boosting tourism together Officials say collaboration, attracting out-of-state group business are key By Carolyn Patten For The New Mexican

ondé Nast Traveler named Santa Fe the No. 2 travel destination in the country in 2013. The same year, Travel + Leisure called the city the country’s No. 1 cultural getaway. Accolades for the city as a destination for art, history, culture, food, environmental friendliness, romantic getaways, even mountain biking, abound. Yet keeping hotel rooms and the Santa Fe Community Convention Center full and profitable has historically been a struggle. In December, the New Mexico Lodging Association and Tourism Association of New Mexico merged to form the New Mexico Hospitality Association, with the goal of uniting all segments of the hospitality industry and work with the New Mexico Tourism Department. The group made its public debut as sponsor of the TRENDS conference Jan. 8-9 in Santa Fe, where Randy Randall, executive director of the Santa Fe convention and visitors bureau, led a session to gauge support for a push to get more business meetings to the state. “I have a vision to pull our efforts more in line with each other. Right now, there is a lack of dialogue among the cities and a lack of support from the state. There’s no collaboration, but there’s no reason we can’t change that,” Randall said. He said 10 percent of the tourism business in New Mexico is group meetings, and if New Mexico dedicated 10 percent of its $7.5 million tourism marketing budget to attract group meetings, that would be an infusion of $750,000. Michael Dominguez, senior vice president of hotel sales for MGM Resorts International, sat in on Randall’s session before giving the conference’s keynote speech. “Las Vegas has been the number one trade show destination in the U.S. for 19 years straight,” he said. “At MGM, we know we only win when we increase share for the destination, rather than taking business from other hotels.” It’s a misconception, Dominguez said, that only big groups are

worth going after: “Eighty percent of all our groups are 100 people or fewer. You don’t need huge meetings space, you just need to make sure your hotel Randy space is excelRandall lent. Everything we do is about the group. We introduce people to the market and they come back on their own dime later.” Dale Lockett, president/CEO of the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau agreed: “Cities other than Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Las Cruces have good potential to host small meetings. As long as they’re meeting in New Mexico, it’s good for the whole state. “Group business drives economic development,” Lockett continued. “These are people who would not normally come to the state. They spend more than leisure visitors and they are likely to return on their own. However, a lot of our group business right now is from groups within the

state. That’s just recycling money. We need to get a lot more groups from out of the state, and together we can have a lot more success.” With a little more than 5,000 rooms in town and another 1,000 at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino, Randall said, “The smaller corporate meeting market is very strong for individual hotels. Our mission is to sell those as well as the ones that require the use of the center. The state only markets the image. We have to sell and we have to close.” In 2013, Santa Fe’s 3 percent hotel occupancy tax brought in $4.3 million, and annual occupancy rates (currently around 59 percent) as well as average price per room night are trending upward, Randall said. Last year, the convention and visitors bureau’s overall marketing budget was a bit more than $1.2 million, including paid advertising, beefed-up public relations, social media, a revamped website and a heavy email campaign aimed at both leisure and meetings markets. In social media alone, 2014 marked the start of an Instagram

account for the bureau, as well as much greater emphasis on coordinating and increasing content among YouTube, the santafe.org blog, Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook, as well as a new destination page on TripAdvisor. The public relations effort also has gotten more aggressive, establishing a blogger network and making personal visits to travel media across the country, Randall said. Dominguez, whose career has included stints in the small, offseason markets of Palm Springs, Calif., and Tucson, Ariz., cautioned the group to “move and move quickly. Cities, states and destinations are spending to beat you. Be creative and stretch your dollars. If you can get this message to your legislators about the value of group business and the need for a unified voice, you can make some shifts.” The Hospitality Association will be working on a preliminary plan to present a unified face to the Legislature, and Randall says he hopes that plan will begin to take shape at a February retreat for the group’s board of directors.

Customers can expect to see sign changes and other rebranding to Century Bank beginning this week. With the merger, Century Bank will now have approximately $750 million in assets, according to a statement from the bank. Customers of both the former Valley National Bank and Century Bank are asked to continue banking at their current bank locations. On Jan. 31, Century Bank will close its Española location and move into the Valley National Bank building. During the weekend of Feb. 13, former Valley National Bank accounts will be converted to the Century Bank operating system. Customers should continue to use their same checks, debit cards and online banking services until that time. “There will be no changes to customer accounts until the conversion in February,” said Don Padgett, president and CEO of the

We are proud to have these dedicated businesses in our state.” Only 3.8 percent of the hotels and 0.3 percent of the restaurants secure the highest rating, according to a AAA news release. “Across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, these select properties represent the upper echelon of the hospitality industry,” AAA said. Three of the Four Diamond hotels in New Mexico are in Albuquerque — Hotel Andaluz (which has received the rating since 2010), Hotel Parq Central (2011) and Sandia Resort & Casino (2013), and one is in Bernalillo, the

Group sets policy agenda for legislative session The New Mexico Association of Commerce and Industry has voted on a detailed policy agenda that the group will support during the upcoming legislative session, President and CEO Beverlee McClure said in a statement. “Businesses join ACI because we’re constantly engaged during the session and yearround,” McClure said. “We’re in committees, we’re watching votes, and we’re helping legislators understand what a bill means for their constituents. Bottom line, New Mexicans need jobs. We work to make sure that the laws being passed in Santa Fe will create better opportunities for all New Mexicans.” McClure said one example is right-to-work legislation, which has received statewide attention recently but has been a priority for the association for years. “ACI is not a group to only do what’s popular or easy,” McClure said. “We’re always

Home sales, median price rise in Los Alamos The Los Alamos Association of Realtors reported that single-family home sales rose to 44 in the fourth quarter, up from 31 a year ago, while the median price increased modestly. Condo and townhome sales also held nearly steady, the association reported Monday. The median price of a single-family home in Los Alamos County rose 2 percent in the quarter, to $260,500 up from $256,000 in 2013. “Single family home sales picked up at the end of the year in the Los Alamos market,” Cindy Hollabaugh, president of the Los Alamos Association of Realtors said in a statement. “Interest rates have remained lower than expected this year which may have helped to attract buyers to the housing market.” The New Mexican

t’s pretty unusual for New Mexico to be the best at anything when compared with the other 50 states. But to be the best in the world is almost unheard of. Yet that’s the distinction given to the State Investment Council, which manages $20 billion in the Land Grant Permanent Fund and the Severance Tax Fund. In essence, this is the money that flows from New Mexico’s natural resources, the land and its oil, gas, gold, copper and other minerals. It is what New Mexico has that is entirely its own, which is why the money from these revenue flows are called sovereign wealth funds. A portion of the money is distributed every year to specific education institutions and colleges as well as into the $6 billion state general fund. The more the permanent funds grow, the more money is funneled out to pay for education, state services as well as construction projects through severance tax bonds. Worldwide, there are some 50 sovereign wealth funds, led by Norway with $893 billion in assets and followed closely by Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and China. In the United Bruce States, there are eight states Krasnow that have sovereign funds, led by Alaska with $52 billion and Business Matters Texas at $30 billion. New Mexico has the third largest sovereign wealth fund in the United States at $20 billion and is in the top half worldwide — just behind New Zealand’s Superannuation Fund, according to the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute. So by at least one measure, New Mexico is a very wealthy state. Vince Smith, the chief investment officer of the State Investment Council, recently gained the distinction from other wealth managers as being the best investment steward of sovereign wealth. The award was for many of the reforms he has put in place as well as the fact that New Mexico’s funds have earned more than 10 percent annually the past five years. “The CIO award nominees represent the highest caliber sovereign wealth funds in the world … and we are thrilled that Vince has been recognized for the work he and the Council have been doing for New Mexico,” State Investment Officer Steve Moise said in a recent statement. Smith and the other two men who manage large investment portfolios in the state, Jon Grabel of the Public Employees Retirement Association and Bob Jacksha of the Educational Retirement Board, spoke last week to the Chartered Financial Analyst Society of New Mexico. Together the three manage some $50 billion — about the value of the Alaska Permanent Fund. As they spoke, the stock market was dropping more than 300 points. But there were no cellphone alerts or indications of panic. One reason is that all three managers reiterated a few points that might resonate with mom-and-pop investors: Block out the noise from the daily financial media and keep sight on your long-term goals. For Grabel, that means giving assurances to the 90,000 members who rely on monthly payouts from PERA or who will soon. “I pinch myself on the importance of helping 90,000 members. We’re not there to out-return somebody,” he told his colleagues. For Jacksha, who carries an $11 billion portfolio and last year paid out $345 more in benefits than his fund received in contributions, the goal remains “providing a secure retirement” for former state workers. “Investments are an outcome of that, it’s not the main show,” he said. In order to accomplish these goals, all three funds have adopted strict policies on investments, many of them adopted in the past few years after New Mexico was implicated in several allegations of pay-to-play contracts with so-called financial advisers. Many of these claims these have been settled by the funds, which have received financial compensation from the individuals and their firms after civil lawsuits. Still, Grabel, who manages $15 billion, said the noise from those who want to charge for investment placements or advice is constant, and he is still “fighting against that sales culture.” All the state funds still pay fees, but watch those who receive them like a hawk and demand strict accountability. The three also decry the benchmarks so evident in the financial media, as they often make it difficult for managers with a multi-generational view on investing. For Smith, the performance of certain asset classes is not where he spends his time. Real estate, domestic equities, bonds will rise and fall; the real return comes from looking at long-term asset allocation and getting the macro trends right. What that means going forward is not today’s story of record-low interest rates but a longerterm expectation that they will be higher over the next five years and that equities will deliver slower growth. That means looking to longerduration securities, real estate and some private equity to diversify the stock holdings, he said. Fifty years from now, those reading this column may not be here, but these managers want to be sure their funds, as well as the state of New Mexico and its retirees, are still solvent.

NFL investigating whether Pats used deflated balls By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick congratulates LeGarrette Blount after his touchdown during the second half of Sunday’s AFC Championship against the Indianapolis Colts in Foxborough, Mass. CHARLES KRUPA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The NFL is investigating whether the New England Patriots deflated footballs that were used in their AFC championship game victory over the Indianapolis Colts. “We are looking into it,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Monday. “We do not have anything further to add at this point.” The inquiry was first reported by the website for WTHR-TV in Indiana, citing an unnamed source. “We’ll cooperate fully with whatever the league wants us to, whatever questions they ask,” Belichick said Monday during his regular conference call with reporters. He said he was unaware there was an issue

until Monday morning. The Patriots have come under scrutiny with regards to NFL rules in the past, most infamously when they were punished for videotaping sideline signals used by the New York Jets during a 2007 game. Belichick was fined $500,000, and the team was docked $250,000 and stripped of its 2008 first-round draft pick. According to the NFL rule book, home teams are responsible for furnishing playable balls at all times. Each team brings 12 primary balls, while home teams are required to also bring 12 backup balls. Once the referee makes sure the footballs are properly inflated, they’re delivered to ball attendants provided by the home team. The league’s game operations manual notes:

D-League becoming a testing ground for new ideas By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — David Arseneault Jr. thought nothing of the email when it first appeared in his inbox. The message from Dean Oliver, the Sacramento Kings’ director of player personnel and analytics, just seemed like another inquiry about the quirky system his father ran at tiny Grinnell College. Little did Arseneault know that the Kings had been targeting him as a candidate to coach their NBA Development League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns, for a unique basketball experiment.

Source: Scherzer, Nationals agree to $210M deal WASHINGTON — Sure seems as if Max Scherzer and his wife now will be able to afford to buy themselves at least one of those nonstick baking sheets they were hoping to receive as a wedding gift. Or even a few million of ’em. The 2013 AL Cy Young Award winner will become the highest-paid right-handed pitcher in major league history after agreeing to a $210 million, seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals that includes a record $50 million signing bonus. A person familiar with the negotiations outlined the terms to The Associated Press on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. It creates a formidable rotation for the Nationals — who could try to boost the rest of their roster by trading one of their other starters. Washington is now the 4-1 favorite to win the World Series, down from 6-1 odds when the offseason started. Scherzer’s signing bonus tops the previous high of $30 million for any player, given by the Cubs to pitcher Jon Lester this offseason. Scherzer plans to establish residency in Florida, which would shield his signing bonus from D.C. income tax, the person familiar with the negotiations said. The person said the pitcher is scheduled to take a physical Tuesday, one of the steps needed for the deal to be finalized.

Bowl. Even for those directly involved in Seattle’s stunning comeback to win the NFC title. “A little bit,” said wide receiver Jermaine Kearse, who caught the winning 35-yard touchdown in overtime of Seattle’s 28-22 win over Green Bay. “But the type of guys that we have in our locker room is a bunch of different stories of different paths of how people got to where they got. “You think about all the undrafted guys, you think about the guys that were drafted in the late rounds and rose to the occasion. I feel like our team story is full of adversity and pushing through it and that’s what showed.” Just how the Seahawks rallied to stun the Packers was still being comprehended on Monday while Seattle began preparations for its chance at a second straight championship facing New England. Seattle is keeping the same schedule as last year with three days of practice this week before heading to Arizona on Sunday. Seattle coach Pete Carroll intends on having most of the game plan in place before the Seahawks leave. “We do have to get a lot done. This is a very heightened time for us. This is not sit back and take a couple of days. We’re going after it,” Carroll said. “Wednesday, Thursday, Friday we’re game planning and we’ll have the game plan in before we leave. That’s an old Bill Walsh way. “That’s the way we’ve always done the bowl games and stuff since we’ve been doing it. It’s a really good way for the coaches and players to focus before the distractions that naturally come up when you get on the road.” Seattle still expects both safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Richard Sherman to be available to play in two weeks even though Carroll did not have results of MRIs on Monday. Thomas separated his shoulder in the first half, but returned before halftime and played with a brace.

“I called him, and he asked if I had interest in the job. I said, ‘The head coaching job?’ ” Arseneault said, recalling the story during the D-League Showcase that concludes Monday night in Santa Cruz. “He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Of course I have interest.’ I was shocked. I was a 28-year-old, part-time assistant coach at a Division III school in the middle of Iowa.” Arseneault’s addition is the latest — and perhaps most unconventional — example of how NBA franchises are increasingly using their minorleague team as a testing ground for new ideas. Since it started in 2001, the

D-League has been focused on fostering and funneling talent to the NBA. That’s come mostly in the form of personnel, with the league’s most recent count tallying 139 players, 29 assistant coaches and two head coaches — Memphis’ Dave Joerger, and Utah’s Quin Snyder — currently on NBA rosters with D-League experience. With 17 of 30 NBA franchises affiliated with one lower-tier club now, the expanding partnerships are allowing the D-League to become a melting pot for innovation. Arseneault and his father, David Arseneault Sr., got the attention of the Kings in 2012 when Jack Taylor

Hawks beat Pistons for 13th straight win The Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks won their 13th straight game, one shy of tying the team record, as Mike Scott and Paul Millsap each Hawks 93 scored 20 points Monday in a 93-82 Pistons 82 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The Hawks haven’t lost since Dec. 26 against Milwaukee. Scott, a backup, had eight points in the fourth quarter. Al Horford added 14 points, seven assists and six rebounds. The Pistons were trying for their franchise-record eighth straight road win. Greg Monroe led Detroit with 16 points and 20 rebounds. Andre Drummond added 13 points and 18 rebounds, but made only 3 of 12 free throws. CAVALIERS 108, BULLS 94 In Cleveland, LeBron James scored 26 points and J.R. Smith added 20 as Cleveland entered a favorable portion of its schedule with a win over Chicago. Back home after winning two games in Los Angeles to salvage a trip out West, the Cavs had little trouble with the Central Division-leading Bulls. Cleveland opened a 25-point lead in the third quarter and handed Chicago its fourth loss in five games.

berwolves — their seventh win in eight games. Charlotte’s Al Jefferson returned after a nine-game absence due to a groin injury. He had eight points and five rebounds in his 25 minutes. In all, Charlotte’s bench outscored Minnesota’s reserves 52-31. Reserves Gary Neal had 12 points and P.J. Hairston had 11 for Charlotte.

the Pacers. It was the 18th 30-point game and fourth with 40 this season for Harden, the NBA’s leading scorer. Houston led by 10 at halftime and used a 33-point third quarter, thanks in large part to four 3-pointers from Harden, to push the lead to 20 entering the fourth.

KNICKS 99, PELICANS 92 In New York, the Knicks snapped their 16-game losing streak, getting 24 points and nine rebounds from Carmelo Anthony to beat the short-handed Pelicans. Jose Calderon made his biggest basket of a difficult first season in New York, a 3-pointer with 32 seconds left that gave the Knicks a four-point lead. That was just enough to help them hold on for their first victory since Dec. 12 and end the longest single-season skid in franchise history.

WIZARDS 111, 76ERS 76 In Washington, Marcin Gortat scored 20 points, John Wall had 11 points and 10 assists and the Wizards beat the overmatched 76ers. Washington went on a 20-3 run for a 27-11 lead late in the first quarter and coasted to the win. Washington coach Randy Wittman removed his starters after three quarters. Seven Wizards scored in double figures. Kevin Seraphin, who played most of his minutes after the game was decided, had 14.

CLIPPERS 102, CELTICS 93 In Los Angeles, Blake Griffin scored 22 points, DeAndre Jordan had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Clippers held off the Celtics after losing most of a 23-point lead. J.J. Redick and reserve Jamal Crawford added 16 points each in Los Angeles’ eighth win in 11 games. Griffin came up one rebound short of a double-double in helping the Clippers improve to 4-1 against the Celtics in their last five meetings. WARRIORS 122, NUGGETS 79 In Oakland, Calif., Klay Thompson scored 22 points, Stephen Curry had 20 points and eight assists, and the State Warriors matched a franchise record with their 16th consecutive home win in impressive fashion. The NBA-leading Warriors (33-6) out did Denver (18-23) in nearly every major category, including shooting percentage (54.3 percent to 34.5 percent), rebounds (53 to 39), assists (30 to 17), blocks (six to three) and steals (10 to nine). MAVERICKS 103, GRIZZLIES 95 In Memphis, Tenn., Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 points, including the last eight for Dallas in the final 2 minutes, and the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies took a two-point lead with about 4 minutes left, but Dallas outscored Memphis 14-4 the rest of the way. RAPTORS 92, BUCKS 89 In Milwaukee, Kyle Lowry scored 18 points and was one of six Toronto players to reach double figures against Milwaukee. Terrence Ross added 16 points as the Atlantic Division leaders (27-14) won for the third time in 10 games.

Ideas: Teams take trial-and-error attitude Continued from Page B-1 cates with Sacramento’s front office daily, including Oliver, Kings general manager Pete D’Alessandro, assistant general manager Mike Bratz, and scouting coordinator and Bighorns assistant general manager Chris Gilbert. “The ultimate goal is to provide the Sacramento Kings with something that they can use at the highest level of basketball,” Arseneault said. The Kings, through a team spokesman, declined to comment on the system. But they’ve hardly been the only franchise taking a trial-and-error attitude with their D-League team. Last year, the Houston Rockets hired Nevada Smith — then just 33 years old — from Division III Keystone College in La Plume, Pa., to lead their D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The Rockets, led by general manager Daryl Morey, were interested in Smith because of the way his team relied almost entirely on 3s and layups. They’ve used Rio Grande Valley, which attempted a league-high 45.4 shots per game from beyond the arc last season, to try out different schemes. “I think we’ve had some creative minds,” Smith said. “We have some other things we’ll do at some point in the season. Kind of saving them right now. You’ll have to wait and see. It’s kind of crazy, but it’s fun.” The Golden State Warriors are fully invested in their D-League club, the Santa Cruz Warriors, who are owned and operated by the NBA franchise.

Santa Cruz coach Casey Hill spent this summer learning the system Steve Kerr implemented with Golden State. The Warriors, like many teams, want players to know the system at both levels so when they’re called up or sent down — as center Ognjen Kuzmic has been often this season — they know what to do. “It’s a tool that we’re going to use, and we have used, to make our NBA team better,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers said. With constant call-ups and contract buyouts, the everchanging rosters in the D-League create the biggest challenges for teams trying to think outside the box. Arseneault, for instance, was rotating more than 15 players at Grinnell. Now he usually has about 10 players with Reno, and they’re all competing for an NBA contract. Arseneault, under the direction of the Kings, said he has made subtle adjustments every game. In a 129-119 win over the Westchester Knicks on Friday night, he had one group run the Grinnell system and another group run a traditional system to fit everyone’s skills. Arseneault finds it all fascinating, mostly because he never expected the system his father adopted to ever win games — let alone at the professional level. It was just supposed to inject some fun into a small college team. “I’ve told [the Kings], ‘Please come to me with any experiments you would like to see,’ ” Arseneault said. “If we can even provide them with one little thing, one little tweak, I would consider it a success.”

Duke’s Coach K claims 999th win SCOREBOARD The Associated Press

DURHAM, N.C. — Mike Krzyzewski moved one victory from 1,000 for his Hall of Fame career in No. 5 Duke’s 79-65 win over Pittsburgh on 5 Duke 79 Monday night. Freshman Tyus Jones Pittsburgh 65 matched a season high with 22 points for the Blue Devils (16-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). They shot 46 percent and made 11 3-pointers while holding Pitt to three of them. And for the second straight game they mixed in a 2-3 zone defense — an outof-character move for Krzyzewski, a noted man-to-man disciple. Coach K improved to 999-308 during his 40-year career. His first chance to become the first men’s coach in Division I history to reach four figures comes Sunday against St. John’s in Madison Square Garden. That’s also where in 2011 he passed Bob Knight as the winningest men’s coach in college basketball’s top tier. Jamel Artis had a career-high 21 points for Pitt (13-6, 3-3). GEORGETOWN 78, NO. 4 VILLANOVA 58 In Washington, Georgetown took over

first place in the Big East with an oldfashioned, push-and-shove win worthy of the conference’s legacy of physical play, forcing 17 turnovers and holding Villanova to 34 percent shooting in a victory over the Wildcats. Freshman Isaac Copeland scored a career-high 17 points, and D’Vauntes SmithRivera also had 17 for the Hoyas (13-5, 5-2), who pulled away early with a 17-0 run on the way to a 42-20 halftime lead and withstood a spirited second-half rally. Georgetown shot 60 percent in the first half and 51 percent for the game to move one-half game ahead of Villanova (17-2, 4-2) — and students celebrated by storming the court at the final whistle. Ryan Arcidiacono scored 16 points for the Wildcats. NO. 11 KANSAS 85, NO. 19 OKLAHOMA 78 In Lawrence, Kan., Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 19 points, converting two driving layups in the closing minutes, and Kansas held on after blowing a 20-point first-half lead for a victory over Oklahoma. Perry Ellis added 16 points, Cliff Alexander had 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Brannen Greene scored 12 for the Jayhawks (15-3, 4-1 Big 12), who bounced back from a loss Saturday night at Iowa State by beating Oklahoma (12-6, 3-3) for the 14th straight time at Allen Fieldhouse.

The Sooners nearly pulled off an improbable comeback, going on a 21-3 run early in the second half to get back into the game. But after taking a 71-69 lead with just under 4 minutes to go, the Jayhawks — energized by their student body back on campus — used a 13-5 spurt to regain control. The Jayhawks put the game away from the foul line in the final minute.

NO. 17 TEXAS 66, TCU 48 In Fort Worth, Texas, Javan Felix scored 15 points, Isaiah Taylor added 13 and No. 17 Texas rolled to a victory against TCU. The Longhorns (13-4, 3-2 Big 12) never trailed in their second straight win since a two-game skid that included a blowout loss at home to Oklahoma. Earlier in the day, Texas moved up three spots in The Associated Press poll after a 27-point win at home over No. 18 West Virginia. Taylor, who has played all five conference games after missing 10 games with a broken left wrist, also had seven rebounds and six assists. Kenrich Williams scored 10 to lead the Horned Frogs (14-4, 1-4), who were coming off a win at Texas Tech that snapped a 23-game conference losing streak, including postseason tournaments.

Unbeaten Kentucky, Virginia stay 1-2 atop poll By Aaron Beard The Associated Press

Kentucky got back to the dominant form it had to start the season, while Virginia stayed with the defensiveminded formula that carried it to last year’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship. That was good enough to keep both teams unbeaten and comfortably atop the AP Top 25. For the second straight week, Kentucky was No. 1 in 63 of 65 votes cast Monday, while Virginia stayed at No. 2. The Wildcats (17-0) have been No. 1 in every poll and were the unanimous choice for five straight weeks before two voters switched to the Cavaliers (17-0) last week. Those defections came after the Wildcats survived two overtime games against unranked Southeastern Conference opponents, but Kentucky beat Missouri and Alabama by a combined 71 points — with

coach John Calipari saying the 86-37 win against the Tigers was needed to help his team “get our swag back a little bit.” As for Virginia, the Cavaliers controlled the second half for double-digit wins against Clemson and Boston College. “We had a good stretch last year and I think we realized how together we had to play to be our best,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. “And I think our guys understand that this year, when they’re really playing together and are sound and tough defensively and putting in the right kind of effort … that’s our way to be successful.” Gonzaga remained in third, while Villanova swapped places with Duke. The Blue Devils fell from fourth to fifth after a loss to Miami that ended a 41-game home winning streak, followed by a one-sided win at Louisville. Rising and falling: Notre Dame has its best start in more than three decades. Now, the No. 8 Fighting Irish are back in

the top 10 after the week’s biggest climb. Notre Dame (17-2) jumped four spots from No. 12, earning the program’s first top-10 appearance since January 2011. The Irish are off to their best start since going 17-2 in the 1978-79 season. No. 7 Arizona, No. 17 Texas and No. 20 Northern Iowa all moved up three spots. On the other hand, No. 10 Louisville and No. 12 Utah each slipped down four spots for the week’s biggest fall. The Cardinals (15-3) lost at home to Duke, while Utah (14-3) lost to Arizona. State pride: For the first time, the Hawkeye State has a trio of ranked teams. No. 25 Iowa (13-5) entered the poll for the first time this season, joining No. 9 Iowa State (13-3) and No. 20 Northern Iowa (16-2). Drake is the only other Division I program in Iowa. “I think it’s great, mostly because we’re one of the three,”

Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said Monday. “When teams are playing at a high level, in this case having teams that are ranked in the top 25, all that does is increase the enthusiasm for the young kids in the state and the high school kids that enjoy playing basketball,” he said. The newcomers: No. 22 Dayton and No. 23 Indiana also entered the poll for the first time this season. The Flyers (15-2) were ranked No. 25 for a week in December 2013. The Hoosiers (14-4) returned to the rankings for the first time since finishing fourth in the final 2012-13 poll. Farewell for now: Arkansas, Oklahoma State and Wyoming dropped out of the poll. Both Arkansas and Oklahoma State went 0-2 last week, while Wyoming — which was ranked for the first time since 1988 — lost at home to San Diego State.

Scherzer: Second-largest pitcher contract Continued from Page B-1 Scherzer, who spent the past five seasons with the Detroit Tigers before becoming a free agent, will receive the money from the Nationals spread out over 14 years, which lowers its present-day value. Still, Scherzer did quite well for himself. Indeed, he and his bride — they were married in November 2013 — won’t have to depend on their friends to finish filling the requests on their bridal registry at Crate & Barrel, including the pair of $19.95 baking sheets that no one gave them. The 30-year-old right-hander’s contract is the second-largest for a pitcher, behind only Los Angeles Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw’s $215 million, seven-year deal that runs from 2014-20. The previous high for a righty was the $180 million, seven-year agreement from 2013-19 signed by Justin Verlander, another

Cy Young Award winner for the Tigers. Scherzer turned down an offer from Detroit last March that would have paid him $144 million from 2015-20, an average of $24 million per year. The Nationals will lose what would have been the 27th pick in June’s amateur draft, while the Tigers will gain an extra pick after the first round. All in all, for the Nationals, it’s a surprising move to upgrade an already imposing rotation after a relatively quiet offseason for the NL East champions. Scherzer was 18-5 with a 3.15 ERA in 2014, a year after going 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA and being voted the best pitcher in the American League. He now joins a club whose starting staff in 2014 included Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, Doug Fister — Scherzer’s former teammate with the Tigers — Gio

Gonzalez, and Tanner Roark. That group already was considered among the best — if not the best — rotation in the majors. The question now is what move could come next for the Nationals, who might pursue a trade. Zimmermann went 14-5 with a 2.66 ERA and 182 strikeouts in 199⅔ innings in 2014, and he threw the first no-hitter in Nationals history on the last day of the regular season. But he can enter free agency after next season. Last season, Strasburg was 14-11 with a 3.14 ERA and 242 strikeouts in 215 innings; Fister was 16-6 with a 2.41 ERA; Gonzalez went 10-10 with a 3.57 ERA, and Roark went 15-10 with a 2.85 ERA in 198⅔ innings. Gonzalez, third in NL Cy Young Award voting in 2012, is the only left-hander in the bunch.

Tennis: Kvitova, Azarenka also earn wins Continued from Page B-1 Wawrinka claimed his first Grand Slam title, reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 and helped Roger Federer win the Davis Cup for Switzerland for the first time. He warmed up for the season-opening major by successfully defending his title at the Chennai Open. “It’s great, bringing me a lot of memories from last year,” Wawrinka said of his return. “It was great to come back here feeling happy, happy with my game.” Top-ranked Djokovic had the next match on center court and appeared to be tired and still recovering from illness after his match, saying he’d had a “rough two weeks health-wise but I’m getting up there.” His mood changed suddenly when a court-side interview turned to reflections of 2014, when he won Wimbledon for the second time, married his long-time partner, Jelena, and the couple had a son, Stefan. “Well those two events are the two most beautiful events I experienced in my life,” he said. “Stefan, he’s a blessing we

received. … Now I have even more motivation.” Two other men widely considered to be in the next generation of major winners advanced in straight sets, with No. 5 Kei Nishikori beating Nicolas Almagro 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-2 and No. 8 Milos Raonic firing 30 aces in a 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3), 6-3 win against qualifier Illya Marchenko. No. 12 Feliciano Lopez struggled past American wild-card entry Denis Kudla 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 10-8, No. 18 Gilles Simon beat Robin Haase 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 and No. 19 John Isner beat Taiwanese qualifier Jimmy Wang 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4. No. 16 Fabio Fognini lost in four sets to Alejando Gonzalez. Nishikori, returning to Grand Slam action for the first time since his run to the U.S. Open final, dropped his opening service game but recovered the break quickly and weathered a difficult opening match against Almagro. Nishikori is coming off a big year in 2014, when he became the first Asian man to reach a Grand Slam singles final. He’s determined to go one better and win a major.

“Yeah for sure that was one of my best results in my career that gave me a lot of confidence,” the Japanese star said. “I beat a lot of top 10 players.” Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova needed only 63 minutes for her 6-1, 6-4 win over Richel Hogenkamp. Two-time champion Victoria Azarenka continued her comeback from a foot injury with a convincing 6-3, 6-2 win over Sloane Stephens and will next have to play U.S. Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki, who beat 18-year-old American Taylor Townsend 7-6 (1), 6-2. No. 11 Dominika Cibulkova, a finalist here last year, opened with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 comeback win against Kirsten Flipkens. Limited to just nine tournaments last year, Azarenka’s ranking has fallen to No. 44 and she is unseeded at a Grand Slam for the first time since the 2007 U.S. Open. 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur had a 6-4, 6-1 victory against Monica Niculescu, and No. 19 Alize Cornet beat Zhang Shuai 6-3, 6-2. No. 24 Garbine Muguruza and No. 25 Barbora Zahlavoa Strycova advanced with straight-sets wins.

West Las Vegas rolls over Ruidoso It didn’t take long for the West Las Vegas boys basketball team to bounce back from a close loss at top-ranked Albuquerque Hope Christian over the weekend. Getting a game-high 20 points from D.J. Bustos, the Dons (14-3) steamrolled visiting Ruidoso 93-44 on Monday night in Las Vegas, N.M. Miguel Sena added 17 points and Andres Gallegos had 15. Travis Mosher had 19 points to lead Ruidoso (5-10). West Las Vegas blew open what was a close game — 21-17 — at the end of the first quarter by outscoring the Warriors 30-6 in the second period. The lead mushroomed to more than 40 points before the fourth quarter even began. The Dons have scored at least 85 points in three of their last four games. Monday’s game was the first of four straight at home heading into the district opener in early February. They have not lost on their home floor all season. The New Mexican

The man for Tony Dungy was an up-andwhom it was named, Steelers coming NFL assistant in his co-owner Dan Rooney, is open early 30s when he met with the to seeing whether it could be Green Bay Packers about their improved. opening for a head coach in “When it was first imple1988. mented in 2003, the Rooney “When I finished the interRule set parameters to provide view,” Dungy said, “I asked opportunities for minority them, ‘What are you looking for?’ coaches and front office personAnd they said, ‘Well, we’re really nel a chance to interview for looking for a person that has high-level positions throughout head-coaching experience and the league,” Rooney said in a an offensive-minded person.’ I statement issued by the Steelers. was a defensive coach who had “It has been successful, but also never been head coach.” I believe we should look into So he didn’t get that job, and the rule in order to continue to wound up waiting eight years help advance the opportunities for his first shot at being a head of minorities to succeed at the coach.

But overall, I’m very By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

satisfied with the numbers that were there.” Dungy and Wooten are wary of those occasions when teams meet with a minority candidate simply to conform to the rule — but with no intention of seriously considering hiring him. “We have to be alert to the ‘courtesy’ or the ‘sham’ interview. We have to be alert to it. We have to know it when we see it,” Wooten said. Dungy said it’s clear that sometimes clubs know who they want to hire before they even begin the search process. “I don’t think [the Rooney Rule is] always being followed the right way and in the spirit of it,” Dungy said. “When it’s, ‘OK, the first day I have an opening, I’m going to hurry up and interview a minority so I can go ahead and hire the person I really wanted to hire, and that I had my mind made up to hire maybe even before I had my opening,’ that’s when people look at it and say, ‘Gee, what’s going on here?’ ” Still, he is not so sure there is any way around it. “You can’t really legislate that. You can’t tell people how to do the search,” said Dungy, who like Wooten does not believe the rule should be expanded to include coordinator jobs. “I think this rule was put in place to just get people to try to broaden their outlook a little bit. And if it does that, then it’s successful. You can get around any kind of rule. You can circumvent it. And that has been done. But I think, overall, the rule has probably helped people.”

Continued from Page B-1 “If any individual alters the footballs, or if a non-approved ball is used in the game, the person responsible and, if appropriate, the head coach or other club personnel will be subject to discipline, including but not limited to, a fine of $25,000.” Deflating a football could change the way it would be gripped by a player or the way it travels through the air. The Patriots beat the Colts 45-7 to reach the Super Bowl. New England will play the defending champion Seattle Seahawks for the NFL title at Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 1. Colts coach Chuck Pagano

said he did not notice issues with the football. He did not specify when asked whether the Colts had reported the issue to officials. “We talk just like they talk to officials [before the game], we have an opportunity to talk to the officials about a lot of things, things that you’ve seen on tape like the formations we talked about last week,” Pagano said. “Every coach in the league gets an opportunity to visit with the officials about that kind of stuff before the game.” In Sunday night’s lopsided AFC finale, quarterback Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns and running back LeGarrette Blount gained 148 yards while scoring three

Just 44 seconds later, Marshawn Lynch was in the end zone after a 24-yard run and the ensuing 2-point conversion pass from Wilson to tight end Luke Willson, who wasn’t supposed to be involved in the original play. And lastly, on the first drive of overtime, Wilson made a check at the line of scrimmage and recognizing there was no safety in the middle of the field and Kearse had single coverage. All Kearse had to do was win his matchup. “We’re all real grateful that we were a part of it and had the opportunity to be faced with so much adversity and so much of a challenge and see guys really play through it and come through,” Carroll said. “It wasn’t a one-play thing.

Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had his worst game as a pro, completing only 12 of 33 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. On his regular weekly morning-after-game appearance Monday on WEEI radio, Brady said he wasn’t aware of the report about the league’s investigation into whether footballs were properly inflated against Indianapolis. “I think I’ve heard it all at this point,” Brady said with a laugh. “That’s the last of my worries,” he said. “I don’t even respond to stuff like this.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Son abused his younger siblings Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our late 70s and we raised four children. We lost our second son to suicide when he was 7. He suffered from major depression. A few years ago, our daughter wrote us, saying that her eldest brother had sexually molested her when she was very young. She said we knew about it and covered it up. We knew nothing about it and were very upset. I confronted our son, now 42, and he admitted to it and was so sorry for what he did all those years ago. He also said he is not the same person he was then. I told our daughter that her brother admitted everything and felt terrible about it and that I hope at some point, he will tell her directly how sorry he is. Since he became an adult, this son is the kindest person and has the closest relationship with us of all our children. Last week, our youngest son and his family came to visit. It turns out that his eldest brother also had molested him when they were children. But he never appeared as devastated as his sister, and moved on. What are we supposed to do at this stage of our lives? Do you think our eldest son could have been molested at an early age and then acted out like this on his siblings? We found out later that there was a pedophile priest in our local parish. Our son has never admitted to any molestation when he was a boy and we are afraid to ask him. Any advice? — Distraught Dear Distraught: This is a terribly disturbing situation, but please don’t hide from it. Your son has already admitted the abuse. He needs to apologize to both of his siblings and ask for forgiveness. We are glad that he has changed for the better, but that doesn’t help his sister or brother come to terms with what happened. We strongly urge you to get into family counseling and work through this. All of you would benefit, including your eldest son. Dear Annie: You recently pub-

lished a letter from a woman who was complaining that her husband recently developed anxiety about traveling in a car. This onset of anxiety, particularly in midlife or later, could be a symptom of Parkinson’s disease. If the anxiety is accompanied by terrible nightmares (including yelling, punching and kicking) and/or by constipation that seems to develop where it didn’t exist before, Parkinson’s could well be the reason. I watched these symptoms develop and didn’t understand why — until the twitching started in one thumb. Then a neurologist confirmed that these symptoms were, indeed, indications that Parkinson’s was at work. Her husband should get to a neurologist now. — Wish We Knew Dear Wish: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to mention some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s is a progressive and chronic neurological disease that interferes with the body chemicals that control movement and mood. It usually begins with mild symptoms that advance slowly, so they are often ignored. Symptoms include tremors or shaking in any part of the body when it’s at rest, changes in handwriting, loss of smell, trouble sleeping, muscle tension and rigidity, changes or difficulty in walking, constipation, a muffled voice, feeling dizzy on a regular basis and depression. If you are experiencing any of these things, even in a very mild form, please talk to your doctor about Parkinson’s. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Getting It Off My Chest,” whose major peeve is that family never comes to visit: If you buy the plane tickets, you will have plenty of company. — G.
