State OKs electronic billboards

New rules allow signs in developed areas along federal highways with municipal approval The state Transportation Commission on Thursday unanimously voted to allow electronic billboards along federal highways in New Mexico, but restricted them to more developed areas within the boundaries of municipalities, towns and villages. Melissa Dosher, a spokeswoman for the

Transportation Department, said the revisions were needed because the current rules had not been changed since 1988. The action Thursday came after several public hearings. Other amendments approved stipulate that any electronic sign image must be static for at least eight seconds, and it cannot have moving images or flashing lights. The signs, controlled remotely, have to be monitored 24 hours a day and hooded to prevent light from

The state Senate majority leader made an unusual public attack Thursday, denouncing his own political party’s chairman for supposedly trying to influence a vote on early childhood education. Sen. Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, delivered a fiery speech on the Senate floor in which he accused New Mexico Democratic Party ChairMichael man Sam Bregman Sanchez of trying to muscle another Democratic senator. Sanchez was careful not to name names in his speech, but it was plain that he accused Bregman of threatening to retaliate against Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Smith opposes using part of the state’s $12 billion land-grant endowment, called the Land Grant Permanent Fund, to increase funding for early childhood education. The endowment raises funding mainly through oil and natural gas extraction fees for drilling on state trust lands, and it is used to help fund public schools and universities, among other beneficiaries. Sanchez implied that it was Smith’s stand on a bill that would have tapped the endowment for more early childhood funding that had angered Bregman. Bregman said Sanchez’s account was riddled with inaccuracies because he didn’t understand why the Democratic Party leadership was upset with Smith. Bregman said Smith last year killed the bill that would have provided more funds for early childhood programs by refusing to permit a vote on the measure in his committee. Bregman said

Bill Dimas thus far has outspent other candidates vying for municipal office. Signage and advertising make up the majority of his expenditures.

*Indicates candidate did not obtain $15,000 in public financing

n a little more than a month, mayoral candidate Bill Dimas has burned through more than twothirds of his $60,000 in public campaign funds. With just over six weeks still left before Santa Fe’s March 4 municipal election, Dimas has only $17,513 cash on hand. Dimas, a city councilor, has spent the bulk of his funds on campaign signs, which are plastered all over the city, and advertising, including more than $16,000 with The New Mexican. Dimas, who has spent more than twice as much as his two competitors combined, said his campaign is right on track. “It’s called early planning,” he said. “We’re exactly at where we want to be at.” Dimas declined to disclose his strategy going forward, but said he wasn’t sure whether he would spend the entire $60,000 that mayoral candidates received under the city’s public financing system. “I’m hoping not, but it’s hard to say at this point,” he said. Thursday was the deadline for candidates and political action committees participating in the city election to file campaign finance reports. In the City Council races, District 1 candidate Signe Lindell was leading in spending, though all of her money came from private donations. Lindell, who has raised $32,640 and spent $24,718, said she decided to forgo public financing because she’s never run for public office and believed she needed to start early. “I needed to start early and work hard,” she said. Lindell said the new public campaign finance code, tested for the first time in council races two years ago, also was a cause for concern. “We’ve had some incidents, and I think we could clarify it some more,” she said. “We just need to give it another review.” The two other mayoral candidates, City Councilor Patti Bushee and Javier Gonzales, a former county commissioner and former state Democratic Party chairman, reported $16,918 and $14,648 in expenditures, respectively. Gonzales, who has spent the majority of his money so far on consulting services and campaign signs, said he plans to amp up spending in his campaign closer to the election as voters begin to make a decision.

AG releases part of audit on behavioral health provider By Trip Jennings and Heath Haussamen New Mexico In Depth

A state-hired auditor found $1,873 in questionable Medicaid payments to a health care provider cleared of fraud last week by the attorney general, according to a portion of the audit released Wednesday. Using a statistical formula, the auditor then “extrapolated” from that $1,873 figure to come up with approximately $612,000 in potential Medicaid overpayments by The Counseling Center in Alamogordo, the document shows. The overbilling estimate, in part, led the state Human Services Department to find “credible allegations of fraud”

against the Alamogordo organization in June 2013. The overbilling also played a role in the state agency’s decision to freeze The Counseling Center’s Medicaid funding and forward the audit to several law enforcement agencies, requesting that they investigate issues including potential Medicaid fraud. Ultimately, The Counseling Center shut its doors in August following the state’s decision to freeze Medicaid funds to the organization, which was providing services such as drug treatment and suicide counseling. The release of the portion of the audit Wednesday comes a few days after the Attorney General’s Office

In brief

RICHMOND, Va. — Gay marriage moved closer to gaining its first foothold in the South when Virginia’s attorney general said Thursday that the state’s ban on same-sex matrimony is unconstitutional and he will join the fight to get it struck down. “It’s time for the commonwealth to be on the right side of history and the right side of the law,” newly elected Democrat Mark R. Herring said in a state that fiercely resisted school integration and interracial marriage in the 1950s and ’60s.

WASHINGTON — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told fellow Republicans on Thursday that rival Democrats were trying to win over female voters by promising them birth control and telling them “they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government.” Huckabee made the comment as he was making a pitch that the GOP needs to broaden its appeal and end its internal divisiveness. Huckabee, a favorite of Christian conservatives and a Fox News personality, told the Republican Party’s leaders and activists that purity tests within the party only shrink the ranks.

FIRE AT SENIOR HOME LEAVES 3 DEAD, 30 MISSING

Firefighters work at the scene of a seniors’ residence fire on Thursday in L’Isle-Verte, Quebec. The fire raged through the facility, killing at least three people and leaving about 30 missing. The massive fire in the 52-unit complex broke out around 12:30 a.m. in L’Isle-Verte, about 140 miles northeast of Quebec City. Most residents were older than 75. The building was only partially fitted with a sprinkler system but did have a fire alarm. JACQUES BOISSINOT/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Vincent Asaro, 78, was named along with his son, Jerome, and three other defendants in wideranging indictment alleging murder, robbery, extortion, arson and other crimes from the late 1960s through last year. The Asaros, both identified as captains in the Bonanno organized crime family, pleaded not guilty through their attorneys.

DETROIT — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder asked the federal government Thursday to set aside thousands of work visas for bankrupt Detroit, a bid to revive the decaying city by attracting

talented immigrants who are willing to move there and stay for five years. “Let’s send a message to the entire world: Detroit, Michigan, is open to the world,” Snyder said at a news conference.

Feds widen Christie probe TRENTON, N.J. — Federal prosecutors have escalated their criminal investigation into allegations that Gov. Chris Christie’s aides created traffic jams as political payback, subpoenaing his re-election campaign and the state Republican leadership. The subpoenas seek documents related to the closure of traffic lanes near the George Washington Bridge, said attorney Mark Sheridan, who represents

the Christie for Governor organization and the Republican State Committee.

3 dead in I-94 pileup in Indiana MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — More than 40 vehicles, many of them semitrailers, collided amid whiteout conditions in a massive highway pileup that left three people dead and more than 20 others injured in northwestern Indiana, police said Thursday. The pileup on Interstate 94 eastbound began Thursday afternoon near Michigan City, about 60 miles from Chicago. Photos of the scene showed semitrailers and mangled passenger vehicles jammed together.

U.N. REPORT

Myanmar Buddhists kill more than 40 Muslims By Robin McDowell The Associated Press

YANGON, Myanmar — At least 48 Muslims were killed when Buddhist mobs attacked a village in an isolated corner of western Myanmar earlier this month, the United Nations said Thursday, calling on the government to carry out a swift, impartial investigation and to hold those responsible accountable. Presidential spokesman Ye Htut, who has vehemently denied reports of a massacre, said he “strongly objects” to the U.N. claims. The facts and figures, he said, are “totally wrong.” Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist nation of 60 million people, has been grappling with sectarian violence since June 2012. The incident in Du Char Yar Tan, a village

in Northern Rakhine state, appears to be the deadliest in a year, and would bring the total number killed nationwide to more than 280, most of them Muslims. Another 250,000 people have fled their homes. Northern Rakhine — home to 80 percent of the country’s 1 million long-persecuted Muslim Rohingya population — runs along the Bay of Bengal and is cut off from the rest of the country by a mountain range. It is offlimits to foreign journalists and humanitarian aid workers have limited access, adding to the difficulties of confirming details about the violence, which flared more than a week ago. But evidence of a massacre, first reported by The Associated Press, has been steadily mounting. The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, said she had received

credible information that eight Rohingya Muslim men were attacked and killed in Du Chee Yar Tan village by local Rakhine on Jan 9. This was followed by a clash on Jan. 13 in the same village, following the reported kidnapping and killing of a police sergeant by Rohingya residents, according to witnesses and rights groups. That triggered a security crackdown. Pillay said the U.N. believes at least 40 Rohingya Muslim men, women and children were killed, bringing the total to at least 48. A statement published on the Ministry of Information website on Thursday said Chief Minister of Rakhine state Hla Maung Tin visited the area on Wednesday and told people about “false news published and aired by foreign media that children and women were killed in the violence.”

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, alarmed by a rash of embarrassing disclosures about officers in charge of nuclear missiles, on Thursday ordered two broad reviews of the personnel who handle the military’s most dangerous weapons. “We’re confident in the security of the nuclear arsenal of this country,” Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters in announcing Hagel’s moves. “That said, clearly we’ve got some issues here.” The Air Force this month uncovered an exam cheating scandal involving dozens of officers responsible for launching nuclear-armed missiles. Leaders said they stumbled upon the cheating on nuclear proficiency tests while conducting a separate investigation into drug abuse at several different bases. High-ranking nuclear commanders have also been getting into trouble. In December, the Air Force revealed that a twostar general in charge of nuclear missiles went on a drinking binge during an official visit to Moscow last summer. And a vice admiral who oversaw nuclear forces as the deputy chief of the U.S. Strategic Command was fired in October after authorities said he was caught using counterfeit gambling chips at a casino. In response, the Pentagon said Hagel would convene a special meeting of nuclear commanders and other officials. The meeting would be designed to examine “the health of the culture” of the nuclear force and come up with “an action plan” within 60 days. Hagel also will appoint an independent board of former officials to conduct a similar, but separate review. Hagel’s intervention comes just eight days after the Air Force’s top general and civilian leader revealed details of the cheating scandal. Hagel had sought to reassure the public that the nuclear arsenal was in safe hands. Hagel had previously said he was monitoring news reports about poor performance and low morale among Air Force officers responsible for maintaining and safeguarding nuclear missiles. On Jan. 9, he visited a hub of the nuclear arsenal at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, where he said he was trying to lift morale. But the steps announced Thursday by the Pentagon indicate that the defense secretary has become more concerned about the issue. “To the degree there are systemic problems in the training and professional standards of the nuclear career field, the secretary wants them solved,” Kirby said. “And to the degree leaders have failed in their duties, he wants them held to account.” The guardianship of nuclear arms has been a persistent concern for the Air Force. In 2008, Robert Gates, then the secretary of defense, fired the Air Force’s top general and its civilian leader after a series of nuclear-related gaffes occurred on their watch, including an episode in which a B-52 bomber crew flew across the country without realizing that six cruise missiles on board had been armed with nuclear warheads. In a recently released memoir, Gates said he was furious when he learned about the incident. “I was incredulous at such a monumental screwup,” he wrote. In interviews as part of his book tour this month, Gates said the fresh reports of problems in the nuclear commands were “extremely troubling.” He told CNN: “This is one of those capabilities in the military where there is no room for any error, no room for any misbehavior, no room for sloppiness at all.”

WASHINGTON — A government review panel warned Thursday that the National Security Agency’s daily collection of Americans’ phone records is illegal and recommended that President Barack Obama abandon the program and destroy the hundreds of millions of phone records it has already collected. The recommendations by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board go further than Obama is willing to accept and increase pressure on Congress to make changes. The panel’s 234-page report included dissents from two of the board’s five members — former Bush administration national security lawyers who recommended that the government keep collecting the phone records. The board described key parts of its report to Obama this month before he announced his plans last week to change the government’s surveillance activities. In that speech, Obama said the bulk phone collection program would continue for the time being. He directed the Justice Department and intelligence officials to find ways to end the government’s control over the phone data. He also insisting on close supervision by a secretive federal intel-

The NTSB noted that crude oil shipments by rail have increased by more than 400 percent since 2005. Some oil trains are more than 100 cars long.

WASHINGTON — Warning that a “major loss of life” could result from an accident involving the increasing use of trains to transport large amounts of crude oil, U.S. and Canadian accident investigators urged their governments Thursday to impose new safety rules. The unusual joint recommendations by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada include better route planning for trains carrying hazardous materials to avoid populated and other sensitive areas. They also recommended stronger efforts to ensure hazardous cargo is properly classified before shipment, and greater government oversight to ensure rail carriers that transport oil are capable of responding to “worst-case discharges of the entire quantity of product carried on a train.” The NTSB also noted that it is still waiting for final action from government regulators on new

“The NTSB is concerned that major loss of life, property damage and environmental consequences can occur when large volumes of crude oil or other flammable liquids are transported on single train involved in an accident,” NTSB said. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx met with oil and railroad executives last week, pressing them to come up with voluntary changes in the way oil is transported to increase safety. He asked industry officials to report back to him within 30 days. Edward Hamberger, president of the Association of American Railroads, reaffirmed the freight rail industry’s commitment to moving oil safely by train in a speech Thursday to energy and financial industry executives.

ligence court and reducing the breadth of phone records the NSA can investigate. Phone companies have said they do not want to take responsibility for overseeing the data under standards set by the NSA. In addition to concluding that the daily collection of phone records was illegal, the board also determined that the practice was ineffective. “We have not identified a single instance involving a threat to the United States in which the program made a concrete difference in the outcome of a counterterrorism investigation,” it said, and added, “We are aware of no instance in which the program directly contributed to the discovery of a previously unknown terrorist plot or the disruption of a terrorist attack.” It said the NSA should instead seek individual records relevant to terror cases directly from phone service providers under existing laws. “Given the limited results, we concluded the program should be ended,” said board member James Dempsey of the Center for Democracy and Technology, a civil liberties group. The board wrote that the phone surveillance did not have a “viable legal foundation” under the Patriot Act, which was used to provide legal backing for the operation after it was secretly authorized by President George W. Bush. The White House disagreed with the oversight board. “The administration believes the program is lawful,” said national security spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden.

Lawmakers face flood of constitutional proposals By Barry Massey

If some lawmakers have their way, New Mexico voters will be busy in the November general election deciding a host of policy questions ranging from legalizing marijuana to increasing the minimum wage. A flurry of proposed constitutional amendments in the Legislature has Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and some lawmakers questioning whether the constitution — a document defining fundamental law and rights in New Mexico — is being misused. Constitutional amendments, unlike a bill to change statutory law, go straight to voters if approved by the Legislature.

That provides a way to bypass the governor and a potential veto. “I don’t want us to get into the process of saying, ‘OK, well, we think the governor won’t sign it, so let’s do a constitutional amendment,’ ” said Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen, a Las Cruces Democrat. Papen expressed reservations about the proposal that would have voters determining whether New Mexico follows neighboring Colorado in legalizing the personal use and possession of marijuana. Among other constitutional amendments proposed this session are ones to create an ethics commission to investigate alleged misconduct by

public officials and require a yearly report on the costs and benefits of all tax breaks and incentives. Another proposal would reverse a 2003 constitutional change that gave the governor more control over public education. The measure would eliminate the secretary of education, appointed by the governor, as the administrator running the state Public Education Department. Instead, the proposal would return to having an elective state Board of Education as the policymaking authority for schools. “I am in opposition to using our constitution as a voter referendum,” said Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat and Senate Finance Com-

mittee chairman. He’s under fire from the state Democratic Party chairman for not allowing a committee vote last year on a proposed constitutional change that would provide more money for early childhood education programs by boosting state permanent-fund payouts. The sponsor of the marijuana-legalization proposal, Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, contends that a constitutional amendment is a sound approach to deciding the issue. “It really is much more responsive to the will of the people,” said Ortiz y Pino, an Albuquerque Democrat. Martinez, a former prosecutor, strongly opposes legalizing marijuana. In an election year when

Martinez is running for another term and Democrats are trying to retain a majority of seats in the House, there’s a potential political bonus for Democrats if liberal-leaning voters flock to the polls in November to determine the fate of the marijuana proposal or a measure for automatically increasing the minimum wage annually for inflation. Martinez said in an interview that lawmakers are “playing with the constitution” by trying to legalize marijuana with a constitutional amendment. “The constitution is a very thought-out document, and just to get voter, turnout you’re going to throw that into an amendment for the constitution. It’s politics. It’s not good

policy,” she said. Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, a Belen Democrat, said lawmakers must be cautious about using constitutional amendments to decide policy questions. But he doesn’t consider the amendment procedure as “an end run” around a gubernatorial veto. “We have to really make sure that if we’re putting something in that it’s something that’s just not willy-nilly because the governor might veto a bill or not. It’s something you have to think very seriously about and understand that it becomes part of a constitution — not statutory law that you can amend whenever you want to. That’s where we have to be careful,” Sanchez said.

Lashes: Sanchez fiercely defends Smith Continued from Page A-1 Smith had effectively acted as a Republican in burying a Democratic initiative, so Smith might as well change parties. Sanchez, though, said Bregman had tried to impose his political beliefs on Smith. “No party should ever tell us what we have to do on this floor or how we should vote on this floor,” Sanchez said. “I’m embarrassed that it happened.” Sanchez even apologized for comments that he attributed to Bregman. Bregman said Sanchez had it wrong. Instead, he said, he had criticized Smith for behaving like a political boss, not for his personal stand or his vote on any issue. “To be clear, I don’t care how anybody votes on a bill. That’s his business, and I don’t try to influence it,” Bregman said in a phone interview. “What I do care about is that Smith stopped a lot of Democrats from voting on an issue of critical importance to them. We can’t even get our team on the field because of him.” Bregman said that, because Smith blocked other senators from voting on the education bill, he stuck by his criticisms of the senator. “Absolutely. Smith should become a Republican. I stand by that,” Bregman said. Smith readily admits that he single-handedly stopped the bill in the Senate. He said he wanted to protect his committee members, who may have been criticized if they voted against the early childhood education initiative. Sen. George Muñoz, D-Gallup, said in an interview last year that he appreciated Smith killing the bill to shield other senators from criticism. “Everybody that voted ‘no’ would be under the same scrutiny that he is now,” Muñoz said. Smith said he opposed the bill because he believes it would be financially irresponsible to siphon more money from the land-grant endowment. His critics counter that the endowment would continue growing if it were tapped for early childhood education, though not as fast. The bill cleared the House of Representatives last year before Smith blocked it in his committee. Sanchez would not comment after his floor speech, except to say, “I didn’t mention any names.” But he had been ferocious in his defense of Smith. “At the end of the day, he is my friend, he is a Democrat,” Sanchez said. “He is one of the strongest Democrats I know.” Bregman disagreed. He said Smith should not have used his chairmanship as a means of muzzling other senators, many of whom believe the early childhood initiative is crucial to the state’s future. One of the ironies of the confrontation is that Sanchez supports tapping the land-grant endowment for early childhood programs. The proposal is back in front of the Legislature this year as a constitutional amendment. If it clears the House and Senate, it would be on the November ballot for voters to make the final decision. Bregman said the bill deserved to be heard, not bottled up by Smith. Bregman said he feared Smith would try again to stop the bill from being voted on, and for that reason, he believes Smith belongs in the Republican camp.

Legislative roundup Days remaining in session: 27 Minimum wage, Round 2: Sen. Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, says Democrats will introduce a bill to increase the state minimum wage, and he wants $10 an hour to be the starting point. “It’s one of our top priorities,” said Sanchez, the majority leader. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez last year vetoed a bill that would have raised the statewide minimum wage to $8.50 an hour, a $1 increase. Martinez said she favored a smaller increase, to $7.80. Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, already has introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to increase the minimum wage annually, based on inflation. But Sanchez said Democrats would take up the issue in a bill, too, even though Gov. Martinez could veto it. If Sen. Martinez’s proposal clears the Senate and the House of Representatives, it will go before voters in November for a final decision. The governor would not be able to stop his constitutional amendment with a veto. Any push to increase the minimum wage is likely to face significant opposition from Republicans. They say businesses would be less likely to hire people or expand operations if they had to pay a

higher minimum wage. Santa Fe’s minimum wage already is higher than the $10 that Democrats are discussing. The city’s minimum is $10.51 and will rise another 15 cents in March. Albuquerque’s minimum wage is $8.50. Robertson football team recognized: The state Senate honored the Las Vegas Robertson football team Thursday for claiming the Class AAA state championship last month. The Senate memorial recognized individual players’ accomplishments in the title game and team’s successful season, as well as Cardinals coach Leroy Gonzales. “This is a team of destiny, a team of heart,” said Sen. Pete Campos, D-Las Vegas, beaming with pride for his hometown team’s success. Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, joked that Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City, hadn’t spoken to Campos since Robertson defeated Silver 34-7 in the championship game. Morales finally gave the Cardinals their due for turning the season around after losing four of their first six games. “It’s not how you start,” he said. “It’s how you finish.” Colonias Day observed: A joint memorial sponsored by Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay

Papen, D-Las Cruces, proclaimed Thursday “Colonias Day at the Legislature.” It called on Gov. Susana Martinez and her Cabinet to improve the quality of life in rural areas and “colonias” throughout New Mexico. The memorial urges addition of these areas to the state’s priority list for legislative funding to improve business prospects and infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development classifies colonias as communities within 150 miles of the border of Mexico, which often lack infrastructure, services and organized governments. “Residents of rural and colonias communities statewide face harsh challenges on a daily basis, but they are proud people who are reluctant to ask for help,” the memorial says. Looking ahead: Former state Sen. Dede Feldman, D-Albuquerque, will discuss her new book, Inside the New Mexico Senate: Boots, Suits, and Citizens, on KNME’s Report from Santa Fe. The show, hosted by Lorene Mills, airs at 8 a.m. Sunday on Channel 5.1. u Journalists, including The New Mexican’s editorial page editor, Inez Russell Gomez, and former legislators will discuss Gov. Susana Martinez’s State of the State address at 7 p.m. Friday on New Mexico in Focus on KNME, Channel 5.1. Besides Gomez, panelists include former Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones, former senator Eric Griego and Russell Contreras, a

Spending: Lindell leads spending among City Council candidates Continued from Page A-1 “We really felt like the end of January, all of February and going into March, that our resources needed to be saved to get our message out during that time period,” he said. Gonzales said the campaign’s efforts will be “heavily focused” on connecting with voters. “We haven’t made the final decisions on the allocation, but everything from mailers to radio to social media. All the various mediums that we’re able to communicate to voters are going to be places that we use our resources,” he said.

Gonzales said he wasn’t in a position to evaluate Dimas’ spending. “Ultimately, we’ll all know on March 4 whether how we allocated our resources was effective or not depending on who wins this election,” he said. Like Gonzales and Dimas, Bushee has spent a big chunk of her money on campaign signs. She also reported a “survey and data call” that cost more than $3,100. Bushee could not be reached for comment Thursday. Lindell’s opponent, Michael Segura, who qualified for public financing, trails her in spending among council

candidates. The city gave each candidate who qualified for public financing $15,000. Segura has spent nearly $13,000, leaving him with $2,018. Among Segura’s expenses was $695 for field coordinator Joseph Ortiz, who was paid $10 an hour. Segura also reimbursed himself $98.40 for cookies and other items and $105.54 in gas at Allsup’s. In the crowded District 2 race, Joe Arellano led in spending with $4,758, followed by Joseph Maestas with $3,469 and Rad Acton with $3,108. The two candidates in that race who

did not qualify for public financing, Mary Louise Bonney and Jeff Green, reported $1,069 and $238 in expenditures, respectively. All three candidates in the District 3 race qualified for public financing. Angelo Jaramillo spent the least amount. He reported $557 in expenditures, leaving him with $14,442 cash on hand. Marie Campos reported $6,814 in expenditures and $8,186 cash on hand. Incumbent Carmichael Dominguez has $11,297 cash on hand after $3,702 in expenditures. City Councilor Ron Trujillo, who is running unopposed in District 4,

reported a $7.50 contribution, which he said he needed to open a bank account when he didn’t know if opposition would surface. He reported $326.48 in in-kind contributions, the majority of which came out of his own pocket. “At first, I was going after the public financing, and then when I realized in mid-October that I wasn’t getting an opponent, I thought, ‘Why should I go after public financing and spend taxpayer money when I don’t need to?’ ” he said.

Audit: AG investigators able to resolve some issues in PCG report Continued from Page A-1 announced last week that it had found “insufficient evidence” of fraud in its investigation of The Counseling Center. Attorney General Gary King, also a Democratic candidate for governor, did find just more than $19,000 in overbilling of Medicaid, the government’s low-income health insurance program. The department did not respond to a request for comment about its finding that there were “credible allegations of fraud” against The Counseling Center in light of the newly disclosed information from the audit. The $1,873 in questionable costs was included in an audit of The Counseling Center and 14 other New Mexico behavioral health care providers conducted in early 2013 by Public Consulting Group Inc. (PCG) of Massachusetts. Portions of the audit report have been released previously, but sections that included specific findings against each of the 15 providers have been kept secret until Wednesday, when the attorney general released the portion of the audit report that detailed the specific findings against The Counseling Center. Portions that detail specific findings against the other 14 providers remain secret, and the attorney general’s investigations into those organizations are ongoing. The release of the 24-page document came in response to a records request New Mexico In Depth filed last week after the attorney general cleared The Counseling Center of fraud.

Clear Dark skies advocates at the meeting were disappointed in the Channel has had digital signs vote. Several urged the state not since 2006 in Albuquerque. to allow the billboards. They said Regardless of how much busithe glow from digital billboards is one more hit against New Mexico’s dark skies, which are a big attraction for tourists and a cultural treasure for residents. “I am not surprised by the vote today, but I am disappointed,” said Peter Lipscomb, an amateur astronomer and longtime dark skies advocate. “The NMDOT’s history of careful safety practices with roadway lighting are put aside to allow another distraction for drivers along with texting and phone use. “The presence of digital billboards along New Mexico roadways will further desensitize people to the natural nighttime environment,” he added. “Once we begin to accept a given level of brightness as OK, we perceive it as normal. Over time, we become so habituated that we can no longer function in darker places. As a result, the idea of more lighting or displays seems inconsequential.” Even if the lights are hooded, the glow cast sideways from the electronic billboards damages visibility of the dark skies and the stars, Lipscomb and others said. Margaret Lloyd of Scenic America, which is suing the Federal Highway Administration over the digital billboards, said the images distract drivers. “That’s their job. That’s what they are designed to do,” she said. Outdoor advertising representatives said the rules are a good compromise and deny that the signs are a hazard. At nighttime, “the impact on ambient light from a digital display will not vary much from the traditional billboard sign it is replacing,” said Jason King, vice president of corporate communications for the outdoor advertising company Clear Channel. “We operate our digital signs at a fraction of total power during nighttime hours.” The commission seemed unsympathetic to pleas from dark skies advocates. Chairman Pete Hahn said staff had held four public meetings about the sign rule in the last year, and Thursday’s complaints were coming late in the process. The rule will be final once it is published in the New Mexico Register, and any appeals will have to go state District Court. In 1999, when state lawmakers

Rescinding the United Nations’ invitation to Iran to participate in the talks about Syria, after pressure from the U.S. government to do so, is a “my way or the highway” response. Whether the U.S. government likes it, Iran is part of the region and, if the talks are to accomplish any easing of the situation in Syria, all countries involved must be part of the talks. Disinviting Iran serves to strengthen Irani isolationists who may well see it as the West disrespecting Iran’s sovereignty. If our country really cared about easing the misery of the Syrian people we would talk with anyone and everyone, recognizing the goal is peace, not governmental ego.

Essay origins Robert Nott’s article (“Students share insights on MLK,” Jan. 20) failed to state that the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest is the brainchild of the Santa Fe Branch of the NAACP’s MLK committee, perennially chaired by Dr. Doris Fields. Dr. Fields, with the support of James Lujan, assistant superintendent for equity and instruction at Santa Fe Public Schools, was able to reach the 400-plus students. She, along

with the MLK committee, read and chose the winning entries. (Editor’s note: The essays can be read at www. santafenewmexican.com, in the Opinion section under Reader Views.) The Santa Fe Branch of the NAACP, collaborating with owner and chef of Jambo Café, Ahmed Obo, gave a dinner saluting the winners. The winners present read their essays to the crowd. The following day, the Santa Fe Branch NAACP held its annual Martin Luther King

Jr. celebration at the New Mexico state Capitol. The winning students continued reading their essays and were presented their awards. Conceived by the Santa Fe Branch of the NAACP and supported by the Santa Fe public school district, this essay project showcased the brilliance and forward thinking of our emerging scholars and leaders.

“This is not a vote,” says the movie Murphy (actor Taylor Kitsch) at the penultimate moment in the film. The good news is that the movie adaptation pleases Luttrell and Daniel Murphy. “They did a good job in the movie,” Luttrell told me. “It’s not the way it went down, but like I said, this is a movie, so they’re going to take some liberties and do some stuff. It’s nothing that I got so bent out of shape about that I didn’t want to go see the movie. But yeah, I wasn’t there on set when that went down, the director made me leave, and he made me leave for most of the gunfight, so … they shifted some things around, but it still gives you a great explanation of how everything went down.” Daniel Murphy told me he was pleased with Kitsch’s portrayal of his son, and called the movie’s depiction of the friendship between Luttrell and Michael “uncanny.” Still, he said, the movie is hard to watch. He noted that during a screening for family members, Michael’s mother left the theater and sat in the lobby. As for the goat-herder sequence, Murphy told me: “Michael was never an officer that would say this is what you’re going to do, follow my orders and do them. Michael was always one who wanted the input from his men, but ultimately everyone understood that Michael makes the decision, he’s the team leader. … They don’t make SEAL officers who are unable to make decisions. So what goes on is there’s a discussion between Matt Axelson, Danny Dietz, and Marcus and Michael about what they should do with these goat herders and what are [their] ideas about what can be done.” When we spoke, Dan Murphy stated his love for Luttrell, and underscored that the selfless way in which his son gave his life (even though shot he still ended the call with “thank you”) is known to the world only because Luttrell was the lone survivor.

own in Las Cruces, excitement is growing. Years of work to preserve the Organ MountainsDesert Peak region are almost completed, with Interior Secretary Sally Jewell visiting Friday to listen to the community and hear their views on what should be done to protect the majestic country. Her visit is likely one of the last steps before action is taken — in this instance, a declaration from President Barack Obama through the Antiquities Act to create the Organ Mountains-Desert Peak National Monument. The action is worthwhile and long overdue. Under normal circumstances, legislation would make its way through Congress and be signed by the president. Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich listened to the residents of the area and introduced the necessary enabling legislation — they will be meeting with people along with Jewell today. As with so many good things, though, bills to preserve wilderness go to the House of Representatives to die. (Measures to safeguard this area have died in the last two sessions of Congress despite widespread public support — opinion polls show 82 percent support for the preservation of the monument.) Through the inaction of the House, the United States is failing to preserve our wild lands — the last congressional designation of new wilderness happened back in 2009. With that avenue blocked, supporters of preservation for the Organ Mountains region turned to the Antiquities Act. The president, after weighing the wishes of the community, can decide to designate a national monument. We trust President Obama will do so again, just as he did in setting aside the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in Northern New Mexico. The move is supported by sportsmen, environmentalists, tribal members, business people and many others in the Las Cruces region. Monument designation protects the outdoors so that the tradition of hunting can be passed down, generation to generation. Historic sites, including El Camino Real, Geronimo’s Cave and the Butterfield Stage Coach Trails, will be preserved. Jobs and economic development will be affected, with a recent study showing that the impact of the monument contributing an estimated $7.4 million in additional annual economic activity. Monument designation should double the number of jobs supported by outdoor recreation and tourism industry in the region. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect a historic part of New Mexico. We encourage President Obama to listen to the people of the Las Cruces region and save the Organ Mountains-Desert Peak region — for today’s residents, but most importantly, for the future.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 24, 1964: The Santa Fe City Police now have four shifts of officers working instead of three shifts as in the past. The new group will work from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. following up leads developed by other officers and gathering information which the other officers were not able to obtain before they finished their tour of duty. Other officers refer to the group as the “untouchables” because the new group was exempt from the present rotation system which let the other men change shifts every three months. Jan. 24, 1989: An engineer hired by a Hillside Avenue resident says that a developer’s attempts to correct flooding problems caused by the Estancia Primera subdivision are inadequate. Public Works Director Jim Traxler said the city and the owners of the 187-lot development have nearly completed improvements to dams built to control erosion and slow the water flow down the hill. The private engineer said in a report that the dams are not satisfactory. The wire mesh installed to control erosion was not anchored to the ground and the developers have not yet built ponds proposed for flood control. Another resident has pointed out that work on an arroyo that flows downstream from the development also has drainage problems.

Mayoral candidate says he’s not familiar with group and is ‘running his own campaign’ By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

Mayoral candidate Javier Gonzales will have the backing of another political action committee in the March 4 municipal election. The Santa Fe Working Families PAC filed a statement of organization

with the City Clerk’s Office earlier this week, stating it would be supporting candidates endorsed by the local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. But Keegan King, an Albuquerquebased political strategist who is listed as the contact and committee trea-

surer, said City Clerk Yolanda Vigil “insisted that we be more specific, so we narrowed and listed our support for Javier Gonzales.” “The mayor’s race is most important to us because it will set the trajectory for the next four years,” King said in an email. “We’re confident that with a Mayor Gonzales, working families will be protected because he unconditionally supports the living wage, the Community Workforce Agreement and workers’ rights.”

King took a dig at one of the other mayoral candidates, Patti Bushee, saying that “working families will suffer” if Bushee is elected mayor. Efforts to reach Bushee for comment Thursday were unsuccessful. King declined to disclose to what extent the PAC would get involved in the election or how much money it planned to spend. “We are in the process of raising funds now, and will report our contri-

The New Mexico Department of Health said Thursday a 79-year-old man and a 73-year-old man, both from Bernalillo County, recently died from the illness. In addition, the department says a 45-year-old man from Rio Arriba County died from influenza. The names of the victims were not immediately released.

seeing more hospitalizations in young and middle-aged adults than normal,” said state Health Secretary Retta Ward, M.P.H. “With flu activity continuing throughout New Mexico, it is important to get vaccinated.” During last year’s flu season

for the week ending Jan. 11, hospitalization rates for labconfirmed flu cases in 18- to 49-year-old adults was 6.0 per 100,000 people. This season, for the same week, that rate was higher (7.2 per 100,000). Those aged 50 to 64 years old also are experiencing a higher hospitalization rate this season, 4.8 per 100,000 compared to 3.0 per 100,000 last year. These rates indicate a greater severity of flu illness in these age groups.

The New Mexico School for the Arts is suffering from its own popularity, with more students wanting to attend the residential state-chartered school in Santa Fe than there is room to teach or house them. The dilemma has the arts-focused high school looking at land for a new campus. School administrators and board members described their need to the New Mexico Transportation Commission at a public meeting Thursday in Santa Fe. The arts school currently has 200 students from around the state, including members of six pueblos. New Mexico School for the Arts opened in the autumn of 2010 in the former St. Francis Cathedral School on East Alameda Street. Though it is chartered for up to 300 students, the student body remains limited to 200, due to the confines of that roughly 35,000-square-foot space, which it is using on a yearto-year lease. Suzanne Barker Kalangis, special adviser to the school, told the Transportation Commission the school is having to turn students away due to lack of space. The New Mexico School for the Arts charter approved by the state Legislature requires any new campus to be built on public land. “In our search, we’ve looked at many places,” Barker Kalangis said. Among the public sites the school’s officials are eyeing is part of a 7.5-acre Department of Transportation parcel in the South Capitol District, located next to the offices of the General Services Department on Alta Vista Street, between Taco Bell and the railroad tracks. The property has several buildings and storage units. “We have had some preliminary discussions with the school,” said Melissa Dosher, public information officer for the Transportation Department, in an email. “We will need more detail from the school before we can estimate the impact to NMDOT and determine how employees and workspace would be affected.” Transportation Commission Chairman Pete Rahn said Thursday that if the agency can reach a favorable financial agreement with the school, “I’m sure something can be worked out.” If the school became serious about the Transportation Department property, it likely would have to buy it, Dosher said. “In all of our land transactions, the department follows our property asset management manual procedures, which states that we get at least fair market value for property. We honestly don’t know all about what the school wants or is thinking.” Currently, 15 of the school’s 200 students stay at a downtown bed-and-breakfast during the school year. The school already has applications for 17 more students who need a place to stay next year. “Seven of

Police: Santa Fe man’s death related to medical condition

State auditor orders review of SFCC finances

The Santa Fe Police Department said Thursday that the death of a 51-year-old man in a neighborhood north of St. Michael’s Drive is likely related to a medical condition. Family members had reported that Narcisco Gonzales was found dead in his home in the 1700 block of Espinacitas Street on Wednesday morning. Police spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said officers initially treated the death with suspicion because blood was found in odd places throughout his home. Espinacitas Street residents Dave and Dolores Vigil said Wednesday that Gonzales, a lifelong resident of the neighborhood, had been dealing with medical issues in the past few months. Gonzales’ death was the second to be declared suspicious within the last week. The Jan. 15 death of 74-year-old Larry Roybal at his Don Diego Avenue home, which police initially called “suspicious,” has been declared the city’s first homicide of the year. Police have yet to identify any suspects in that case, and Westervelt said she couldn’t offer any more details Thursday.

College says there will ‘be no surprises’

The State Auditor’s Office has directed leaders of Santa Fe Community College to conduct a special audit to look into allegations made by ousted president Ana “Cha” Guzmán about the school’s financial management. The request came late Jan. 18 via a letter to the college, on the heels of a report on the state auditor’s annual review of SFCC. That audit states that the college is in “sound” financial condition, despite 10 findings. For the special audit, the

Auditor’s Office wants the college to appoint an approved independent public accountant to look into whether Ana ‘Cha’ Guzmán the college has complied with provisions of the New Mexico Procurement Code since 2009 in relation to stipends, the budget process, internal controls and bond fund spending. Specifically, the audit is to determine three issues: whether the granting of stipends totaling about $140,000 to 24 employees — as well as $1.8 million spent

on temporary employees — followed standard hiring procedures; whether the college has an adequate budgetary process to allocate public funds; and whether the $35 million bond approved by voters in 2010 has documentation to verify all spending. Speaking by phone Wednesday, the college’s acting president, Randy Grissom, said SFCC has already requested that the state auditor approve Accounting & Consulting Group LLP of Albuquerque to handle the audit. That firm handled the recent annual audit of the college, posted on the state auditor’s website Friday. Grissom and SFCC Chief Financial Officer Brian Ziemer

both said the firm is already aware of the issues brought up in the regular audit and is well positioned to conduct the special audit. “My expectation is that if they find anything, it will most likely be minor,” Grissom said. “We anticipated this and are fully prepared for it,” Ziemer said. “We believe there will be no surprises.” He and Grissom expect the audit to be completed by the end of March. The school’s Governing Board fired Guzmán in early December for what it calls “just cause,” which, according to her intent-to-terminate letter, includes acts of “dishonesty

A state District Court judge has ordered the Department of Health to rehire a former worker after she won a lawsuit claiming she was fired for reporting that federal grant money was being misspent. Jennifer Smith filed a lawsuit in 2001, claiming she had been fired from her $48,000-a-year job as a health educator in the AIDS Services Program for pointing out that federal funds were being mismanaged. An attorney for the Health Department argued that Smith had raised minor technical violations of the grant, that the issues were remedied and that her supervisor had been demoted. He said Smith’s termination came only after she continued to have disagreements with subsequent supervisors and was insubordinate, according to previous stories in The New Mexican. But a jury found in Smith’s favor in August, saying the state was guilty of violating the Whistleblower Protection Act and the Fraud Against the Taxpayer Act, which means the agency had retaliated against her. Smith, who had worked at the Health Department from 2006 until her firing in 2012, was awarded double

her lost wages of $52,000 and double the $30,642 value of her lost benefits. Smith also was awarded attorney’s fees of $262,000 and $3,000 in court costs, for a total payout of more than $400,000, according to her attorney, Diane Garrity. On Wednesday, Smith won a court order mandating that she be reinstated. Garrity said District Court Judge Raymond Ortiz ordered the department to re-employ Smith in either Santa Fe, White Rock or Los Alamos. Ortiz said the court would monitor Smith’s reinstatement, according to Garrity, who said her client also is supposed to receive an additional $4,000 per month from the August court decision until she begins work again. Garrity said Smith has yet to receive her payout — she said the state has 30 days from the filing of the final order, which has not yet happened, to appeal the decision or pay the judgment. Smith did not return a message sent via Garrity, asking for comment on the case. Department of Health spokesman Kenny Vigil said Thursday the department has no comment on the ruling.

Planned coyote hunt draws protest LAS CRUCES — A planned hunt featuring the calling and shooting of coyotes in Southern New Mexico is drawing fire. The Southwest Environmental Center asked this week for the Dona Ana County Commission and Las Cruces City Council to speak out against the planned event scheduled for Feb. 6-8. The hunt will coincide with a convention sponsored by the Utah-based group Predator Masters at the New Mexico

Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces. Jeff Mock, president of Predator Masters, told the Las Cruces Sun-News that no prizes will be awarded for the hunt and the hunters are free to hunt coyotes in New Mexico since the animals are not protected. Animal and wildlife advocates say they are planning a protest of the convention. The Associated Press

Police seek suspect after S.F. woman films would-be burglar with cellphone A Santa Fe woman called police Jan. 6 to say a suspicious man was knocking on the door of her south-side home and then pulled out her cellphone to film him. The woman said she told police that the man repeatedly rang the bell and then appeared to be trying to remove the screen from a window of her home in the 7000 block of Valentine Loop near Capital High School. When the man, later identified as Darius Esfandi, 20, noticed she was recording the incident, he fled. Police believe he was trying to break into the home.

The woman was able to film him as he ran up the street and vanished around the corner. A few seconds later, the woman saw a blue car drive by with a person she thinks is the wouldbe burglar behind the wheel. Using the video, police were able to see the license plate number and match the car to Esfandi. He previously has been convicted of burglary and aggravated fleeing. Police believe he might be in Albuqueque and have asked anyone with information on his whereabouts to call 428-3710. The New Mexican

Angel Fire Republican sets sights on Congress Ski tech says ‘whole atmosphere’ prompts run against Ben Ray Luján By Jesse Chaney

Sangro de Cristo Chronicle

ANGEL FIRE — Republican Jerald Steve McFall of Angel Fire hopes to help improve education and reduce poverty as the next U.S. representative for New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District. “If we get a better-educated population, that’ll help fix poverty, and then everything else will start falling in line,” he told a crowd of about 20 people during a campaign rally Jan. 16 at Pizza Stop in Angel Fire. “Those are the two biggest things.” McFall said he believes the federal government should have less control over education. “The way we teach kids here in Angel Fire is not the way they teach them in Massachusetts or Wyoming or California,” he said. “We all need to

meet a certain standard, but not exactly the same across the board. That doesn’t work. And obviously the federal government has never done anything efficiently, and they should not Jerald Steve be in charge of educaMcFall tion.” However, McFall said the government also needs to focus on ways to educate adults. “The reason [children] are in poverty is because their parents or guardians are in poverty,” he said. McFall said he knows what it’s like to be poor because he was homeless at one time. “I got knocked all the way to homeless a few years ago. I had a battle with the state of New Mexico. I won, by the way, but it cost me everything,” he said. Through that experience, McFall said, he learned why people have difficulties getting out of poverty. “The biggest reason is because they

don’t know where to go or how to do things or how to get out of where they’re at,” he said. “Nobody’s saying ‘Come on, let me show you how to do this. Let me show you how to go to school and do this and get yourself to a better place.’ ” Citing “motivation through desperation,” McFall said the government should encourage people to get out of poverty by scaling back public assistance such as food stamps and welfare. “We have to draw that line and cut people off if they are not making progress,” he said. “And the ones that want to make progress, we need to show them how to do it.” And although he will not make any promises on behalf of the entire U.S. House of Representatives, McFall said, “If I’m saying it, I’m going to be working toward getting that done.” “I’m not going to promise that I’m going to go up there and get this done, because there’s 435 of us. It’s not going to happen,” he said. “But if I’m talking the talk I’m going to walk the walk. I promise you that if I say it I mean it, and that’s

Space: All options considered Continued from Page B-1 them are from Las Cruces,” said New Mexico School for the Arts board Chairwoman Catherine Oppenheimer. Any new campus will need to be near a transportation hub in Santa Fe, said Oppenheimer. A new site would not only provide state-of-the-art studios, classrooms and performance spaces, but perhaps dormitory space as well. Some of the students already travel more than two hours a day from Albuquerque on the train to attend the school. Oppenheimer and Barker Kalangis said they are considering all options for the new campus and declined to say if there was a particular site they are focused on. In an interview in December, Principal Cindy Montoya said school leaders tried without

success to secure some property in the Railyard District. At that time, she said the school’s biggest challenge was to find or create its own space to serve students’ needs. The school is a public/private partnership, with the state providing about $1.7 million of the school’s roughly $3.3 million budget this year. The other $1.6 million is raised through

the school’s private foundation. The school claims a 96 percent graduation for its students to date. More than 90 percent of graduates go on to college.

PAC: Full disclosure important Continued from Page B-1 butions in accordance with city law,” he said in the email. Jim Harrington, state chairman of Common Cause New Mexico, a nonpartisan watchdog group that helped draft the city’s public campaign finance code, said the “whole point” of public financing is to take private money out of elections. “When the outside groups spend money that’s beyond what the candidate has gotten from the city and is supposed to be spending, that’s troublesome,” he said. “It’s not something we could really do anything about. It can’t be made illegal. The most you can do is make sure we get full disclosure and to make sure there’s no coordination. That’s a key thing that a lot of people have their eye on.” Gonzales, who has the backing of another PAC, Progressive

Santa Fe, has previously disavowed such groups and said he hadn’t heard of Santa Fe Working Families. “We’re running our own race. I’m not paying attention nor am I focused on anything that any other entity is doing out there,” he said. The third PAC, Vote For 9 For A Full Time Mayor, is supporting a charter amendment that would give the mayor more powers. Organizers of the Progressive Santa Fe PAC previously said they formed the group to combat any potential negative campaigning against Gonzales. The PAC reported $2,707 in expenditures Thursday, including $1,925 for opposition research. Gonzales said he sent “a very strong message” that he didn’t need the PAC’s involvement. He also said he’s put that behind him and has moved on with his campaign.

“There are campaign finance laws that require disclosure. I expect that any entity that gets involved in this campaign needs to follow those rules. What they do, their participation in this, is not my concern. My concern is us taking our message directly out to the voters,” Gonzales said. City Councilor Bill Dimas, who is running against Gonzales and another city councilor, Patti Bushee, said Gonzales has an unfair advantage, since all three candidates are running under the city’s public financing system. “Patti and I have $60,000 to spend, and that’s it. I don’t have any outside PACs spending money to advertise or do negative advertising against the other opponents. It’s a disadvantage, but we’ll weather through it,” he said. Contact Daniel J.

what I’m going to work toward.” McFall told the Sangre de Cristo Chronicle he was born in Raton and lived between Cimarron and Springer before moving to Angel Fire in 1989, though he also spent several years in Albuquerque. He said he worked at Angel Fire Resort’s ski area and golf course for many years and is currently a ski tech at High Country Ski Rental in Angel Fire. “I believe very much in the American Dream because I got to live my American Dream. I got to ski and golf and get paid for it for 20-something years,” he said. McFall said he was a registered independent voter for most of his life. He was “recruited” into the Democratic party, he said, but he switched to the Republican Party about a year ago. “Once I got a little older and had a daughter I realized I was rather conservative, and I didn’t like the way a lot of things were going,” he said. McFall said he is pursuing a degree in psychology and political science at The University of New Mexico in Taos

Officer Jesus Rodriguez wrote in an affidavit that he and his partner, Officer Celestino Lopez, were responding to a battery report when they found Vigil. The 47-year-old man told police that four kids had attacked him. Rodriguez reported that Vigil was “actively bleeding” from his lip, and he smelled of alcohol. The Albertsons manager then found the officers and told them Vigil had been asked to leave store property because he was “harassing customers,” Rodriguez wrote in his report. Vigil declined medical treatment for his wounds, Rodriguez reported, so police and the store manager asked him again to leave, but he refused, and the officers arrested him. Rodriguez said Vigil then spit at Lopez’s face and claimed he had AIDS and later Hepatitis C. Officers were able to obtain a search warrant to draw Vigil’s blood to test for the AIDS virus and hepatitis C, but it’s unclear if his blood had been tested.

To officially register as a candidate for the June 3 primary election, McFall must collect at least 703 signatures from registered Republicans in the 3rd Congressional District by Feb. 4. He planned to campaign in Espanola, Corrales and Farmington following his Angel Fire rally. “I’m a full-time dad, working fulltime and going to school, and now I’m running for Congress,” he said. “So if anyone else needs something done, give me a call.” Democrat Ben Ray Luján has been the U.S. representative for New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District since 2009.

Bieber’s arrest latest sign of real trouble By Curt Anderson and Jennifer Kay

The Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. hen he debuted five years ago, Justin Bieber was a mophaired heartthrob, clean cut and charming. But a series of troubling incidents have put his innocent image at risk, and none more so than his arrest on DUI charges Thursday. Police say they arrested a bleary-eyed Bieber — smelling of alcohol — after officers saw him drag-racing before dawn on a palm-lined residential street, his yellow Lamborghini traveling at nearly twice the speed limit. The 19-year-old singer later admitted smoking marijuana, drinking and taking a prescription medication, police say. Unlike previous episodes, this arrest has him facing potential jail time. Bieber was charged with DUI, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest without violence. His MiamiDade County jail mug shot showed the singer smiling in a bright red inmate jumpsuit, his hair still stylishly coiffed. He was arrested with R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff, after police say they raced two luxury vehicles down the street at 4:09 a.m., with two other vehicles apparently being used to block off the area. Police Chief Ray Martinez said the singer was initially not cooperative when the officer pulled him over. Martinez said the singer also had an expired Georgia driver’s license. Police said Bieber was driving the Lamborghini and Sharieff was driving a Ferrari. Both cars were towed. Police say Bieber was clocked at 55 to 60 mph in a 30 mph zone near a high school, youth center, golf course, city firehouse and small apartment buildings. Bieber failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Miami Beach police station for a Breathalyzer, police said. Results haven’t been released. “I think this case will proceed hopefully as any other case would proceed,” said Bieber’s attorney, Roy Black, whose other celebrity clients have included Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith. Under Florida law, people under the age of 21 are considered driving under the influ-

ence if they have a blood alcohol content of 0.02 percent or more — a level the 5-foot-9, 140-pound star could reach with one drink. For a first DUI offense, there is no minimum jail sentence and a maximum of six months, a fine of $250 to $500, and 50 hours of community service. For anyone under 21, there is an automatic sixmonth license suspension. A Miami-Dade County judge set Bieber’s bond at $2,500 on Thursday afternoon. Sharieff’s bond was set at $1,000 for a DUI charge. The Canadian-born Bieber was only 15 when his platinum-selling debut “My World” was released. The singer from Ontario had placed second in a local singing contest two years earlier and began posting performances on YouTube, according to his official website. The videos caught the attention of a talent agent and eventually led to a recording contract. He was positioned as cleancut and charming — even singing for President Barack Obama and his family at Christmas — but problems began to multiply as he got older. Bieber has been accused of wrongdoing in California but has never been arrested or charged. He is currently under investigation in a felony vandalism case after a neighbor reported the pop star threw eggs at his house and caused thousands of dollars of damage. A neighbor had previously accused Bieber of spitting in his face, and a paparazzo called deputies after he said Bieber kicked him, but prosecutors declined to file charges in either instance. He was also accused of reckless driving in his neighborhood, but in October prosecutors refused to seek charges because it was unclear whether Bieber was driving. Despite all his legal troubles, the charges against Bieber likely won’t put him at risk of being deported or denied entry into the U.S., said immigration attorney Ira Kurzban. According to U.S. immigration law, authorities generally do not revoke an individual’s visa unless the person has been convicted of a violent crime or has been sentenced to more than one year imprisonment.

Wawrinka into Aussie final; Nadal or Federer next By John Pye

The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — The usually diplomatic Roger Federer didn’t bother concealing his preference for semifinal winners at the Australian Open. He wanted an all-Swiss final, the first ever in a Grand Slam. Eighth-ranked Stanislas Wawrinka held up his end of the bargain with a 6-3, 7-6 (1), 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4) win over Tomas Berdych to reach his first major final. Now the pressure is on the 17-time

major winner to complete the matchup. The major obstacle in his path: a semifinal against Rafael Nadal. Now it’s Iron Stan’s turn to sit back and watch two of the greatest players ever do battle Friday for the right to meet him in Sunday’s final. “For sure I’m going to really, really enjoy,” Wawrinka said. “I’m going to watch the match tomorrow in front of my TV, maybe with some popcorn. “I always try to watch when they play because you can always learn. You can always see the best tennis ever on the tour.”

The 33rd installment of the NadalFederer rivalry — the 11th in Grand Slams — should be enthralling viewing. Wawrinka’s joked that he’d prefer a walkover most of all, but likes the idea of a Swiss decider. “My record against Rafa is not really good, and neither against Roger, but for sure to play a Swiss final will be amazing,” he said. Federer “is the best player ever. For me it’s my first final. To play against Roger would be amazing.” Federer is into his 11th consecutive

According to Santa Fe Public Schools athletic director Leslie Romero-Kilmer, Gomez was suspended for the game as well as a Feb. 5 District 2AAAA game against Santa Fe High for improperly filming games of the two teams. In Gomez’s stead, assistant coach Jonathan Salazar stepped into the head coaching duties in the 56-40 loss to the Horsemen. While this is Salazar’s first year with the Jaguars (4-12), he is no stranger to running a program.

Kirtland Central even made an appearance in Santa Fe Indian School’s inaugural Lady Braves Super Classic in 2012, losing to the Lady Braves in the semifinals. While coaching the boys in Farmington, he called about the Capital job that opened in 2009 and considered applying for it. He’d have been a good fit at a basketball-crazed school. But he was more than that. He cared about athletics in the Four Corners area. He’d contribute to radio coverage of games in the area, which I saw him perform at the 2009 football opener between St. Michael’s and Bloomfield. He’d give me a handshake and ask how I was doing. Given his passing, I’d love to have one more handshake and conversation, just for closure. Funny, after 10 years covering

sports, I’ve reached a point where the people I’ve met and developed relationships are saying goodbye much too soon. In the past two years, I’ve said farewell to former New Mexico Activities Association athletic director Mario Martinez and SFIS cross country head coach John Grimley. I watched West Las Vegas head boys basketball coach David Bustos and his family grieve over the passing of wife, mother and Lady Dons volleyball coach Mary Bustos. And now this. There is a realization kicking in that, as time catches up to them, it’s getting closer to me. While that is a stone-cold sobering fact, I’m more saddened by the loss of people I’ve gotten to know. I’m saddened more that the list will only grow longer, and there’s no way to turn the clock back. Nor can we catch the thief.

Love: Holmes hopes boxing will help family Continued from Page B-5 Casino on Saturday, Brandon is already mapping out the next two years in his mind. First, he must get past Albuquerque’s Brandon Muñoz in a four-round super bantamweight fight this weekend. A win would likely mean another fight in Denver in March, perhaps one that goes beyond the four-round limit of Brandon’s first three fights. If he passes that test, Brandon hopes for three or four more fights by the time late 2015 hits. Hopefully, he’ll have the kind of record and name that draws bigger fights and bigger paydays — like the kind that pay off with a world title. But Brandon also knows that those plans can go awry rather quickly. “The window of opportunity is so small, so that makes me train even harder so that I don’t lose out on that,”Brandon said. “All the resources are here. I just gotta use them.” Perhaps his best resource is Pat. This was not the arena Pat expected for his son, and he tried to push him toward other sports. But once Brandon was a teenager, he convinced his dad boxing was his sport, too. While Brandon only had about eight amateur fights on the record, he learned a lot more just from going toe-totoe against quality boxers Pat trained. “I tried to get a lot of quality sparring for him using the connections I had,” Pat said. “You know what they say: ‘If you want to be a champion, surround yourself with some.’ He’s been around some good company and been able to pick people’s brains and their ears and see it from the finished product side.” If Brandon needed any more motivation to continue his apprenticeship, he has it in 1-year-old son Koa Holmes and fiancè Noel Hawn.

Tournament last year. “It’s just another game,” Salazar said. “[St. Michael’s head coach Ron Geyer] is someone that I have a lot of respect for, so it’s an honor to come here and coach against them.” As for whatever Salazar’s role was in the video recording incident, which according to sources involved four games including the Dec. 20 Santa Fe High-St. Michael’s game, he referred all questions to Capital assistant principal Mike Lovato, who oversees athletics at the school. To the players, Salazar didn’t miss a beat when it came to taking over for Gomez. If there was one noticeable difference in his absence, it was that the team lacked a certain chemistry without its head coach. “We probably would have stayed more together if he was here, but we had to switch up

the lineups and stuff and it was just hard without him here,” Capital sophomore guard Eric Coca said. The chemistry may not have been 100 percent for the Jaguars on Thursday, but all the offensive and defensive schemes were still intact. “Coach Salazar took care of business,” senior guard Sergio Baray said. “He gave us our X’s and O’s and everything was there, we just didn’t execute.” Salazar may have been able to run the program for the night, but Gomez’s absence as well as why he was absent has caused coaches and administrators close to the situation to call foul on Capital. But despite all of the controversy currently surrounding the team, players have expressed that it is not taking a toll on their performance. “It’s not really affecting us that much,” Coca said. “To me, it’s not that big of a problem.

We just have to deal with the consequences. We have to man-up and move on and just deal with it, straight up.” The situation may not have an effect on the Jaguars, but they still struggled early in the game, as they only made two field goals in the first quarter and were down 13-5 to the Horsemen heading into the second. But just when it looked like St. Michael’s (15-3) might pull away, the Jaguars went on a 8-1 run behind six straight points from Coca to pull within 16-13 with 3:47 left in the first half. Capital kept it close and went into halftime only down 19-14. “We were working hard on the offensive end and we were getting to our spots and playing with urgency,” Salazar said. That comeback was shortlived, however, as the Horsemen regained some separation and had a 40-25 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

“In the second half, I just thought St. Mike’s came out with a little more intensity,” Salazar said. “We tried to attack the basket and we tried running our offense, but it just wasn’t working out,” Coca added. The Jaguars will get a chance to correct their miscues when Gomez returns to the sideline on Saturday in the team’s 2AAAA opener against Española Valley, but he will have to leave once again when the Jaguars open up their two-game series against the Demons. That game will have more on the line than the one against St. Michael’s did, but the Jaguars are not too worried about missing their head coach once again. “All of our team has a lot of confidence in coach Salazar,” Baray said. “Everything is going to be the same and everything is going to be fine. We’ll be ready.”

NFL

Broncos return to practice in frigid temps

Ex-Buffalo DC signs 5-year contract

By Arnie Stapleton

Browns hire Mike Pettine as coach

The Associated Press

By Tom Withers

The Associated Press

BEREA, Ohio — Mike Pettine knows he might not have been Cleveland’s first choice or even the Browns’ second pick. All that matters to the son of a high school coaching legend is that he’s the one they selected. “It’s been my lifelong dream to be an NFL head coach,” Pettine said Thursday, “and however that opportunity presents itself, it’s fine with me.” After nearly a month of twists, turns and talk, the Browns found their man. Buffalo’s defensive coordinator, who didn’t seem to be on Cleveland’s radar when the team began a coaching search last month, signed a five-year contract Thursday and was named the Browns’ seventh full-time coach since 1999. Pettine replaces Rob Chudzinski, fired on Dec. 29 after just one season. The Browns interviewed 10 candidates before deciding on the 47-year-old Pettine, who has built a solid reputation with a no-nonsense approach with his players. “I have been nicknamed BFT — Blunt Force Trauma,” he said. “The days are too short to dance around subjects some time and I think guys appreciate that.” His straight-forward style attracted Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who set out to find a “strong winner” and feels the clean-shaven Pettine can lead Cleveland’s resurgence. “He’s very smart,” Haslam said. “He’s aggressive. He’s innovative. You can see he’s tough. He’s going to be very demanding. He’s going to set high standards for our organization.” Pettine spent one year with the Bills after four as Rex Ryan’s defensive coordinator with the New York Jets. Before that, Pettine was an assistant coach in Baltimore, giving him some familiarity in Cleveland’s division. Pettine understands there are challenges in turning around the Browns, who have lost at

least 11 games in each of the past six seasons and made the playoffs once in their expansion era. Pettine believes the Browns have talent — as evidenced by their six Pro Bowlers — and wants to be the one to return them to glory. “There’s only 32 of these jobs and they don’t come along often,” Pettine said. “People ask me, ‘Why didn’t you wait? There will be chances next year?’ I don’t know if I believe in that. When you put all the factors together, this franchise is in position, given the right leadership, to win.” Pettine emerged as the favorite to become Cleveland’s fourth coach in six years as the Browns eliminated candidates and Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase, considered the front-runner when the search started, told the team to move on without him. His hiring ends a 25-day odyssey for the Browns. It was a quest filled with rumors, denials, withdrawals and far too much drama for a franchise seeking stability. At the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, Browns tight end Jordan Cameron echoed the sentiments of most Cleveland fans. “I’m just happy to have a

coach,” he said. The Browns flew to Mobile, Ala., on Tuesday to interview Pettine for the second time at the Senior Bowl. The four-hour meeting came shortly after Gase, the first candidate the team contacted, called Haslam and withdrew from consideration. The team had been expected to give Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn a second interview, but if he was their pick, the Browns would have had to wait until after the Super Bowl to finalize a deal. Banner said the decision to hire Pettine before speaking with Quinn a second time was “tough.” As six other teams filled their head-coaching vacancies, the Browns kept looking. The lengthy delay led to a national perception the team didn’t have a clear plan. Aware of the criticism, Haslam sent a letter to Cleveland fans last week explaining why the team was being “methodical” in finding Chudzinski’s replacement. Haslam argued the view of the Browns was media driven. “That’s a perception that you all have generated,” he said to reporters. “That’s not the perception among candidates or

football people that I’ve talked to around the country.” Browns CEO Joe Banner took a playful jab at Cleveland’s front office, which was characterized locally as “The Three Stooges” when the search began. “I don’t know if you had a chance to meet Mike, but since [GM] Mike Lombardi and I are Moe and Larry, we went and set out to find Curly and we succeeded,” he said. “That’s why it took so long; there aren’t a lot of Curlys running around the country.” Now that he’s in place, Pettine is ready to roll up his sleeves and fix the Browns. Football is in his blood. He learned the game from his father, Mike Pettine Sr., who won four Pennsylvania state championships and retired as the winningest coach in state history. Not long after getting the job, Pettine phoned his dad. “It was special,” he said. “It didn’t last very long because he knew I had a lot of stuff to get done. My poor mom answered the phone and he said ‘Is that Michael?’ He ripped it out of her hands. They were both excited and knew how much work it went into this.”

The courses are so different than it’s difficult to gauge where anyone stands until everyone has had a crack at both courses. The weekend rounds are on the South. “I’m going to have to go out there and get it a little bit tomorrow to not be so far behind come Saturday or Sunday,” Woods said. Cink did what he was supposed to do. The rough is up on the North, too, so it was important to get the ball in play. He did that, allowing him to take on some pins. “You want to really take advantage of the North Course because it will yield to you a little bit, and the South Course will not,” Cink said. “I did a great job of going out there, just playing shot-by-shot, not really getting too caught up in, ‘I have to birdie these holes.’ As a consequence, I actually made a few birdies and it felt great.”

NBA: Heat’s James is leading vote-getter Continued from Page B-5 up as a kids’ game. Curry, perhaps the biggest snub last season, will join him in the Western Conference backcourt. Love passed Dwight Howard in the final days of voting and will start in the frontcourt along with Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and the Clippers’ Blake Griffin. “Hey, I’m popular now,” Love joked. “It’s very humbling to me to be starting in the All-Star game. I tip my hat to the fans in the Twin Cities and all over Minnesota and beyond.” The four first-time starters are all 25 or younger. Curry went to All-Star weekend as a kid when his father, Dell, competed in the 3-point contest,

and now he’ll finally get to play in the game. “It’s kind of just a surreal feeling,” Curry said. “I saw Kobe come on the screen and you knew that next person on the screen was going to be me or I was going to get left off that list. Just when I saw my name it was a real emotional kind of experience and glad my wife and daughter were here to watch it with me.” LeBron James was the leading vote-getter with 1.4 million and Miami teammate Dwyane Wade also was voted in Thursday. George, who has led Indiana to the league’s best record, and New York’s Carmelo Anthony are the other East forwards, and Irving will start at guard. Bryant has been limited

to just six games this season because of injuries and will be out until at least early next month. He said recently he hoped fans wouldn’t vote for him and would instead look toward younger, more deserving players. Fans picked him anyway. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, with 19, was selected to more All-Star games. But even Bryant could finish only second to Curry among West guards, a remarkable turnaround for the Golden State sharpshooter. He was the highest-scoring player not chosen last year, but moved past the Clippers’ Chris Paul in the third returns of balloting, then passed Bry-

ant in the final days to finish with more than a million votes and become the Warriors’ first All-Star starter since Latrell Sprewell in 1995. “I understand how big a deal it is to be selected on the team,” Curry said. “And just how different the feeling was from last year, having gone through that experience and just trying to get back healthy, first and foremost, to give myself a chance come All-Star selection time.” “I was hoping for the best and preparing for the worst, and knowing the worst was I was going to still probably end up in the All-Star game [as a coach’s pick] and represent the West and the Wolves and the Twin Cities.” Love said. “Right now, I’m very happy.”

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning found no need to dunk his right hand in a bucket of ice water Thursday — it was 9 degrees when the Broncos returned to their practice field for the first time since clinching a spot in next week’s Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium. “Anytime you can have … a situation that you can simulate during practice that might be in a game, that’s always a good thing,” said Manning, his breath vaporizing as he spoke from the podium after the two-hour workout. Manning, who spent much of his career inside in Indianapolis, has prepared for some cold-weather games since coming to Denver in 2012 by soaking his right hand in ice water. He welcomed the blast of wintry weather after a relatively balmy stretch of January, which included a 63 degree Sunday afternoon when he led the Broncos past the New England Patriots for the AFC title. The knock on Manning is that for all his greatness he crumbles in the cold and in the playoffs — he has just one championship ring in 12 previous trips to the postseason, eight of which ended in firstround exits, including last year’s double-overtime loss to Baltimore on a frigid night in Denver. Manning could take care of both of those criticisms next week when the Broncos face the Seattle Seahawks in East Rutherford, N.J., in the first outdoor Super Bowl ever held in a cold-weather city. With a win, he would be the first quarterback to lead two teams to the title. Although it’s too early for forecasters to predict what the weather will be, there’s a decent chance for freezing temperatures or snow by kickoff on the night of Feb. 2. Although Manning is 167-73 in the regular season, he’s 11-11 in the playoffs. And he’s 4-7 in games that are below freezing at kickoff, although some of those were games where he played sparingly because the

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning exhales as he talks to the media Thursday after practice at the team’s training facility in Englewood, Colo. ED ANDRIESKI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colts had already locked up playoff seeding. Others were against New England, when the Patriots clearly had the better team. And Manning did complete 39 passes for 397 yards and four touchdowns against Tennessee last month when the temperature at kickoff in Denver was 18 degrees. If the Broncos beat the Seahawks — and they’re favored by oddsmakers for the 30th straight game — Manning will match little brother Eli’s two Super Bowl rings. Eli said Peyton doesn’t have to beat Seattle to secure his legacy, however. “I think Peyton’s already created his own legacy,” Eli said during a conference call Thursday. “He’s played at a very high level for a long period of time and he’s overcome injuries and obviously set numerous records and been on a lot of playoff teams, playing in his third Super Bowl.” Peyton’s résumé is impressive: 13-time Pro Bowler, seven-time All-Pro and odds-on favorite to win his fifth MVP after setting NFL records by throwing for 55 TDs and 5,447 yards. Eli does not think the cold will be a factor in the game, either. “I don’t think this hurts or helps either team,” he said. “Peyton has been in Denver this year and played outside in a lot of cold games. I think obviously if it were to snow or be very windy, it could be a disadvantage to the Broncos, just because how much they like to throw the ball, compared to Seattle and their running game.

Sex on the brain

HOW GENDER AFFECTS THE MIND

for and by teens

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY KEIFER NACE

By Elena Wirth Generation Next

he appearance of the brain of a male and female looks almost identical. So why do we think so differently? So far, research on the brain in relation to gender has been a slow process of dissecting each aspect of this complex organ. Lesley J. Rodgers, an emeritus professor in neuroscience and animal behavior at the University of New England, approaches the difference in a way that suggests there isn’t actually a difference at all. She looks at the behavioral experiences that lead to apparent differences between the two sexes — and how they impact the brains of males and females. The first manner of explanation within this theory is called a unitary explanation, which looks specifically at the X and Y chromosomes, which determine the sexual gender. (Women have two X chromosomes while men have one X and one Y.) The genes that determine behavior have changed genetically over time, so there is a set difference between the behavior of men and women based on these chromosomes, it is believed. This idea — which goes against Rodgers’ theory — means the experiences of any one person have no effect on the differences in his or her brain in terms of gender, as genes are already set. Another way of approaching the difference is through what’s known as an interactive explanation, which accounts for the complexity of the chromosomes and how the brain continues to develop as it matures and undergoes experiences. It also describes the balance of the set chromosomes with a never-changing personality but also looks at the effect that a person’s environment has in terms of personality and gender distinction. Rodgers likes to focus on the impact of environment and not on the idea that there is a set plan and personality within the chromosomes that distinguishes gender. “Adult male and female brains do differ in some ways, but we cannot say whether this is due to differences in genes or to learning,” Rodgers said. “Girls, of course, look different from boys, and this determines how society treats them. We know that behaving in different ways affects the development of the brain. Therefore, differences between the brains of males and females can be caused by learning or behaving differently. It is impossible

to separate out the effects of genes, hormones and environment [learning].” But we also can look at stereotypes about men and women. A Columbia University essay, “Male and Female: The Brain Difference,” looks at those stereotypes based on different sections of the brains of men and women. The essay affirms Rodgers’ idea that the brain is always changing. Though the brain is changing constantly — it stops growing in size at the age of 4 — that does not mean the brain changes and reacts based on everyday experiences. The study splits the male brain into two parts: one side for verbal reasoning, and the other for visual and emotional activities. It notes that men use one side of their brain more than the other, and are better at spatial coordination and interpreting three-dimensional objects. Women use both sides of their brain for visual and emotional activities as well as verbal reasoning. Women are better at sensing emotional signs and facial expressions during conversations — and have better eyesight at night! The Guardian recently released a report by Dean Burnett that looks more specifically at the differences between the male and female brain, noting some key genetic factors determined by gender. The male brain has the Y-chromosome located in almost every cell within the brain. The female brain has no Y-chromosomes — which can hinder the physical capabilities of a woman. Burnett also talks about pain and how men have the ability to tolerate pain much more than women — most of the time. The one exception to that, of course, is when it comes to giving birth. And then there’s the issue of estrogen and testosterone. Susan Fisk, a professor of psychology and neurology at Stanford University, said, “Although it is true that males generally have more testosterone while females have more estrogen, men and women both possess both hormones.” The difference is that the two sexes use estrogen and testosterone in different ways. Men use estrogen for the normal functioning of their brains, while testosterone is their sex hormone. In women, estrogen is the reproductive hormone, while testosterone helps with the culmination of sexual desire. How men and women think on that subject is fodder for an entirely different article.

Books: Get lost in this ‘Maze’ By Raina Wellman Generation Next

ichael Sumner and Melody Sumner Carnahan’s visually mysterious, time-bending book, Twice Through the Maze, is, as the pair like to describe it, “A silent graphic opera in 48 episodes.” With hauntingly beautiful imagery, the book takes readers on two different journeys. There is the text of Carnahan’s retelling and interpretation of the Greek myths of Icarus and the Minotaur via the stories told in the captions. And then there are photos by graphic

designer Sumner, with his own captions revealing a tandem mystery. The people in these images double as characters in the Greek mythology part, including Aphrodite, Artemis, Cronus and many more. The main characters who appear in the book have Greek god/goddess counterparts as the book creates two intertwining mazes occurring at the same time. Carnahan told Generation Next, “If you read the book, you are going twice through the maze.” Sumner added, “You can read [the book] using the captions only and then you can read it using the text only.”

The project began with the photographs, as Sumner explained: “I was playing with combining and layering and making these kind of images that had some kind of spark, some kind of energy. So I started going through my digital files … I started giving [the images] titles that were like a mystery. Titles like ‘The Girl They All Wanted,’ ‘The Street Where It Happened’ and ‘The Man Who Saw Everything.’ This was for a couple of years; I would sporadically get back to it. Then, about a year ago, I really started taking it seriously and cranking out these images, and it started getting way bigger than I imagined and the story needed to be real … so I dragged Melody in.” Greek mythology became the joint

HOW MY BRAIN WORKS

Her view

His view

Generation Next’s main feature this week focuses on the differences between boys’ and girls’ brains. I believe topics like this can easily lead to prejudice. Suggesting that males and females think differently is such a large generalization that it makes me cringe. There are many differences between the two genders, as well as many similarities — and there’s always an exception to every rule. Most distinctions are stereotypes supported through the media and marketing firms as they enhance and even enforce gender roles. I think the way people act is based primarily on cultural experiences and enforcement. Our culture plays an important role in how people act. Compare the way Americans act to, as an example, citizens of an Asian country. The mentalities are different. Family roles change. People do things differently based on their upbringing. I believe the way we think and act is primarily based on our encounters and experiences. Sometimes these stereotypes do carry truth. There must be girls who mainly think about shopping — but then surely some boys think the same way. Studies show differences between how men’s and women’s brains operate: the way they approach relationships, use their brain hemispheres, react to stress, feel emotion and pain, and much more. While I hope research uncovers the mysteries hidden in all that gray matter, I still believe the way we think is based on how we are brought up and on who we are as individuals. Trying to separate males and females by characterizing their thinking doesn’t have enough supportive evidence and relies too much on stereotyping. The female brain and the male brain are the two most similar brains on Earth. And there’s no way to argue against that. Raina Wellman is a junior at New Mexico School for the Arts. Contact her at rainawellman@gmail.com.

In the past century, mankind has figured out how to make the world accessible by air, cured thousands of diseases, improved the global quality of life in many ways and even found a way to journey into space. Yet we’re still scratching the surface of understanding how our brains work. The ideas and theories of experts, including Lesley J. Rodgers and others cited in Generation Next’s main feature this week, are illuminating. But they don’t tell the whole story. Some of the data in the story about the male mind have me pondering my own mental process. As a brief review of my cluttered bedroom would indicate, spatial coordination — one of the male mental strengths identified in a Columbia University essay — is clearly not my strong suit. As a matter of fact, many women I know are way better at keeping track and order of their things than guys are. Interpreting three-dimensional objects — another masculine mental strength — is a pretty vague measure to determine. Does that mean I can say what three-dimensional objects are? I can do that. And all the women I know can do it just as well as me. On the other hand, the identified female strengths in that essay seem spot-on. Women tend to have a second sense for reading emotion that I lack (one of the many reasons I’m still single, but that’s another story). As for better night vision, if women claim they can see in the dark, I don’t think any sensible man should argue. Men and women might not always see eye to eye, but we’ve got a lot more in common than we all think, and we should rejoice in that. Aaron Stevens is a junior at Santa Fe Prep.

focal point. As Sumner explained, “There is no definitive story.” The choice of that mythology, combined with an inspiration push from mythology writer Robert Graves, allowed the two artists to bend the rules so, as Carnahan said, “the characters [get] to do things they would not have usually done.” The images the pair used — none of which were taken purposefully for this project — were put together “like a hunt and gather through decades of slides, Polaroid photographs and blackand-white negatives,” Sumner said. The unusual sepia-toned photos add a sense of this dig through history and add to the overall artistic appeal of the novel. The book creates a world that

encourages readers to explore. The book creates at least three different experiences to pursue — depending on how you read it — and it almost forces you to backtrack while reading. The way in which all the different stories are woven together is ingenious. Twice Through the Maze is always engaging, as it provides endless possibilities that will continually intrigue you. As Carnahan puts it, “Let [the book] push you around a little bit.” Both authors said they hope that readers “come away with a kind of delighted befuddlement and to notice that a realm of the fantastic exists within the ordinary world.” The book is available through Burning Books — www.burningbooks.org.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could become more argumentative than you have been. In fact, if you notice others backing away, you will know why. Tonight: Treat time.

Man questions if he should stay or go Dear Annie: I was married for 21 years, until my wife decided to call it quits. It’s been four years since the divorce. She is now dating someone from work. I suspect this co-worker is the reason she left me, but I truly do not care anymore and have moved on with my life. For the past two years, I have been dating “Lois.” We don’t live together. We both have teenage children and don’t think living together is a good idea. But, Annie, every morning I ask myself: Should I stay, or should I go? I am 49 and Lois is 42. We often argue about stupid things. She quickly gets over these spats, but I don’t. So, tell me: How do I know whether it’s love or just companionship? — Need Advice Dear Need: If every morning you question whether you should stick around, the answer is no, you shouldn’t. You don’t mention that you love Lois or even enjoy her company. You seem to fight often in ways that disturb you. Being with someone who doesn’t make you happy is not the solution to loneliness. Dear Annie: My parents divorced after 15 years of marriage. My father remarried and passed away in 2004. My mother married a man and divorced him after 18 years. He, too, has passed away. My mother believes that my aunts, uncles and cousins on my father’s side are still her relatives because they are related to me. She says she is still the aunt to my cousins on that side of the family. My brother adds to this dilemma by bringing Mom to some of these family gatherings where my paternal aunts ignore her and my cousins ask why she is there. She seems hurt by this. So is Mom still a part of my dad’s family? She has nieces from her second marriage, but she has never

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your personality is on full display. Resist expressing any negativity for now, as it might stem from you and how you are seeing a situation. Tonight: In the midst of the action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Remain sensitive to your needs. You are often so busy running around, you let your needs go. Eventually, this lack of attention will catch up with you. Tonight: Screen calls. Keep it low-key. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will be pleased that your friends made plans around you; however, it might appear as though you have not been informed of some sort of change. Tonight: Among others. Don’t be alone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You won’t be able to escape a previously agreed-upon commitment. This activity involves a certain amount of responsibility. Tonight: Leader of the gang. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your mind seems to drift to someone at a distance whom you care about. Your sense of humor emerges with a child or loved one. Tonight: Tap into your imagination. Jacqueline Bigar

Today in history Today is Friday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 2014. There are 341 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 24, 1942, the Roberts Commission placed much of the blame for America’s lack of preparedness for Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short, the Navy and Army commanders.

Hocus Focus

included me in those gatherings, and I don’t even know them. Are these unknown cousins relatives to me? — Child in the Middle Dear Child: Your mother is related only insofar as the relatives want her to be. If she was “aunt” to your cousins for 15 years, they may still think of her this way. However, it sounds as if they are not interested in being related any longer, in which case, they don’t have to be. The same goes for your stepcousins. Unless you are suddenly interested in getting to know them better, you do not need to consider yourself related. Dear Annie: I’m writing in response to “Heart Full of Joy in Pennsylvania,” who divorced her cheating husband after 35 years and finally found happiness. I’ve been married for 36 years, and my husband has lived a secret life the entire time. I’ve known about it, but turned my head and kept up a good front so the children could have a happy childhood. Now the kids are grown, and I’ve decided I cannot live the lie anymore. I told the children that their dad has been unfaithful, but I didn’t disclose the details that he has been living “on the down low,” having casual sex with men at public parks and going to swingers clubs. My kids are hurt, and feel that their happy childhood was a lie. I often wonder if I am being selfish. After all, the marriage isn’t horrible, but it isn’t a true marriage. My counselor says the kids will come around eventually and will realize that I am much happier now that I’m out of my dysfunctional marriage. I just want to say that “Heart Full of Joy” has given me hope. Though I’m not interested in finding someone else right now, perhaps there is a man out there who will cherish me, honor me and truly love me. — Tired of Living the Lie
