State cuts insurance sign-up estimates

Sen. Wirth wades into fight over Gila River

Enrollment predictions for 2014 slashed in half

Santa Fe lawmaker aims to slow diversion, focus on conservation

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

New Mexico’s state-run health care marketplace has sharply reduced its enrollment expectations for 2014, cutting the estimated number of people expected to sign up for coverage by about half, the program’s chief said Thursday. Mike Nuñez, interim chief executive officer of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, said problems with the federal healthcare.gov website when it was rolled out last fall slowed New Mexico’s efforts to promote enrollment in the exchange, resulting in drastically lowered enrollment expectations. The state had expected up to 83,000 people to enroll in insurance plans through the exchange this year. Those figures were based on a 2011

outhwestern New Mexico has a potential new water supply, a rare treasure in this dry state. But tapping into the resource means diverting the Gila River, the last free-flowing river in the state. Under a 2004 settlement agreement with Arizona, New Mexico has rights to some 14,000 acrefeet of water from the Gila and one of its tributaries. The deadline for deciding what to do with the water is at the end of this year. If New Mexico doesn’t use it, the water will keep flowing down the river into Arizona, and the state will forgo millions of dollars in federal funds available for construction of a diversion project. Peter Wirth The region’s farmers want the diversion project as a backup, but conservationists and sportsmen say dams or diversions would harm wildlife and the outdoor recreation that feeds the area’s economy. Estevan Lopez, director of the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission, thinks conserving the river and diverting it aren’t mutually exclusive. “There are ways of finding synergy that can benefit the environment,” he said. For a decade, people and agencies on both sides of the Gila issue have haggled other over what to do. Now they’re running out of time. Two state senators are sponsoring bills in the current legislative session to address the Gila River basin dilemma. Senate Bill 89, sponsored by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, requires the Interstate Stream Commission to spend a chunk of the federal dollars available under the agreement to boost water supplies in the region by conserving water, reusing effluent, practicing conservation agriculture and restoring watersheds. Wirth said the projects can serve as a conservation road map for other water-strapped communities in the state. “These are low-hanging fruit that every part of the state, municipalities and agriculture should look at,” Wirth said. Wirth also prefiled SB 90, a bill that requires the commission to secure all funding for a river diversion before seeking approval for the project from the secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. “When I look at the costs and benefits, doing the non-diversion projects first absolutely makes sense,” Wirth said. “Then, before we take that last step about diversion, let’s be darn sure all the money is there.” Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City, signed on as a co-sponsor of the bills last week. The Gila River “draws in visitors and residents that support

our local economy,” Morales said in a prepared statement. “If we divert and transfer a significant amount of Gila water to other parts of the state for urban development, the economic and ecologic health of my district would be jeopardized now and in the future.”

Tapping a river The Gila River, a tributary of the Colorado River, begins in New Mexico’s Gila National Forest and is fed by a couple of rivers in Arizona. It flows unimpeded south and west before emptying into Arizona.

Under the 2004 Arizona Water Settlements Act, New Mexico can harvest 14,000 acre-feet of water a year from the Gila River and the San Francisco River, a tributary, as long as the water rights of downstream users aren’t affected. The Interstate Stream Commission has until December to tell the secretary of the interior what the state is going to do.

NATION&WORLD In brief

Italy reinstates Knox’s murder conviction FLORENCE, Italy — More than two years after Amanda Knox returned to the U.S. apparently home free, an Italian court Thursday reinstated her murder conviction in the stabbing of her roommate and increased her sentence to 28½ years in prison, raising the specter of a long extradition fight. Knox, 26, received word in her hometown of Seattle. The former American exchange student said she was “frightened and saddened by the unjust verdict” and blamed “overzealous and intransigent prosecution,” ”narrow-minded investigation” and coercive interrogation techniques. “This has gotten out of hand,” Knox said in a statement. “Having been found innocent before, I expected better from the Italian justice system.” Lawyers for Knox and her 29-year-old exboyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, who was also found guilty, vowed to appeal to Italy’s highest court, a process that will take at least a year and drag out a seesaw legal battle that has fascinated court-watchers on both sides of the Atlantic and led to lurid tabloid headlines about “Foxy Knoxy” and her sex life. It was the third trial for Knox and Sollecito, whose first two trials in the 2007 slaying of British exchange student Meredith Kercher produced flip-flop verdicts of guilty, then innocent.

U.S. says Syria is delaying in mission

LIVE AT THE BOWL

Renee Fleming says she only knows how to sing the national anthem one way: live. The 53-year-old opera singer will perform ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ before Sunday’s NFL Super Bowl XLVIII football game. Fleming, known as ‘The People’s Diva,’ said Thursday at a news conference she won’t sing to a pre-recorded track and that she ‘wouldn’t know how to lip-sync if you paid me.’ Fleming promised the it will be entirely real when she walks onto the field at MetLife Stadium, where the Seattle Seahawks will play the Denver Broncos. She’ll be singing with an arrangement from the New Jersey Symphony and have 32 military singers from all the service branches as backup.

BEIRUT — The United States accused the Syrian government Thursday of using stalling tactics to delay efforts to remove and destroy chemical agents, an indication that the international community’s patience is wearing thin over the slow pace of the operation. The comments, delivered by the U.S. representative to the international chemical weapons watchdog, marked some of the strongest public criticism of Syria’s commitment to relinquish its chemical stockpile. Syria agreed to surrender its arsenal after a deadly chemical attack in August on a rebelheld suburb of Damascus raised the threat of punitive U.S. missile strikes. President Barack Obama has touted the agreement as a victory and a major policy achievement for his administration on Syria’s intractable civil war. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is leading the mission to eliminate Syria’s 1,300-metric ton stockpile by a June 30 deadline. Under the OPCW’s tight timeline, the most toxic chemicals in Syria’s arsenal were to have been removed from the country by Dec. 31, but that deadline was missed due to poor security amid Syria’s raging civil war as well as other factors. So far, just two small consignments of chemicals have been shipped out.

sile launch officers have been implicated in the cheating. The cheating scandal is the latest in an array of troubles that now have the attention of senior defense officials, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. But James and Lt. Gen. Stephen Wilson, who heads Global Strike Command, insisted that the failures haven’t affected the safety of the military’s nuclear mission. Of the 92 officers implicated so far, as many as 40 were involved directly in the cheating, Wilson said. Others may have known about it but did not report it. Separately, James said that an investigation into drug possession by officers at several Air Force bases now involves 13 airmen, two more than initially announced. All 92 officers have been decertified and suspended while the scandal is being investigated, meaning other launch officers and staff to fill in, performing 10 24-hour shifts per month, instead of the usual eight, Wilson said. Staff members from the 20th Air Force, which oversees all of the nuclear missile force, are also being tapped to do the shifts.

WASHINGTON — Top Air Force officials described a persistent culture of “undue stress and fear” that led 92 out of 550 members of the military’s nuclear missile corps to be involved in cheating on a monthly proficiency test on which they felt pressured to get perfect scores to get promoted. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said Thursday that at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, roughly half of the 183 mis-

tion, including reported proposals that would “legalize” various categories of undocumented immigrants but not necessarily allow them all to become U.S. citizens. “To see the Republicans moving from selfdeportation to legalization is a major shift,” said Clarissa Martinez of the National Council of La Raza in Washington. “There is a big chasm between saying “no special path” and shutting the door to citizenship entirely. It could mean a lot of things. There is no clarity or definition yet, but it is a start and we are definitely encouraged.” Frank Sharry, executive director of the immigrant advocate group America’s Voice, said neither advocates or Democratic legislators would accept proposals that “create a permanent underclass” of non-citizens, but that they might accept legislation that allowed many undocumented immigrants to obtain some form of legal status and “most, if not all” to eventually achieve citizenship through “normal channels.” “The details matter hugely, and we don’t know what they will be,” Sharry said. But if a mix of ideas now being discussed among Republicans evolve into concrete proposals, including citizenship for student “dreamers,” work permits for some adults, and green card sponsorship for illegal spouses and parents of U.S. citizens, he said, “that might meet our demands.” According to a study released this month by the National Foundation for American Policy, between 4.4 million and 6.5 million illegal immigrants — mostly parents of U.S. born children — could gain eventual U.S. residency under current approaches being discussed informally in the House. The bipartisan Senate bill that passed last year would have allowed about 8 million people to gain residency.

Study finds Americans optimistic about aging WASHINGTON — As the global population of people 65 and older is projected to triple to 1.5 billion by 2050, public concern about the graying of society varies widely across the world, with Americans much more optimistic than those in many other countries thanks to immigration, a new study finds. That optimism is not unfounded: While 1 in 5 U.S. residents is expected to be 65 or older by 2050, the country is aging at a slower rate than other nations. This is largely due to the high rate of immigration, according to the report, Attitudes About Aging: A Global Perspective, released Thursday by the Pew Research Center. Nations across the world will see their ranks of older people swell, with about onesixth of the global population expected to be 65 or older by 2050. But perspectives about this diverge dramatically, according to the report. In surveys in 21 countries last spring, 22,425 people were asked whether aging posed a problem for their country, whether they anticipated having an adequate standard of living in their old age, and whether governments or families and older people themselves should bear more responsibility for the elderly. Americans ranked among the least worried, at 26 percent — a stark difference from residents of the United States’ main economic and political partners in Europe and Asia, where more than half the respondents said aging was a major problem. The United States is projected to age more slowly, in large part because immigrants and their descendants are expected to shore up the ranks of young people of working age.

Navy admiral is Obama’s pick to take reins of NSA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Navy admiral is President Barack Obama’s choice to be the next head of the National Security Agency, which is embroiled in controversy over its secret surveillance programs and massive collection of phone and Internet data. Vice Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the Navy’s Cyber Command and a former intelligence director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is being appointed to lead the NSA, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Thursday. Rogers also is being nominated to get a fourth star and head U.S. Cyber Command. Rogers, who replaces Army Gen. Keith Alexander at the NSA, comes into the job facing the challenge of revamping the way the agency collects and stores its data. Alexander plans to retire in mid-March. The NSA has been rocked by former analyst Edward Snowden’s disclosures detailing widespread surveillance programs that have swept up the phone records of hundreds of millions in the U.S. Rogers has long been considered the heir apparent for the job. In a statement Thursday, Hagel said he is confident that Rogers “has the wisdom to help balance the demands of security, privacy and liberty in our digital age.” “This is a critical time for the NSA, and Vice Admiral Rogers would bring extraordinary and unique qualifications to this position as the agency continues its vital mission and implements President Obama’s reforms,” Hagel said. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper described Rogers in a statement as a dedicated intelligence officer “who deeply understands signals intelligence and cyber operations, which makes him uniquely qualified to lead the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command missions.” Rogers’ nomination to head Cyber Command requires Senate confirmation. The NSA job does not, but it will undoubtedly come up at the Cyber Command hearing, as lawmakers air their frustrations with the agency’s data collection program and demand that he lay out his vision for how the NSA will move forward. The White House has said it intends to continue having one commander oversee the NSA and Cyber Command, despite suggestions that the jobs should be split. Both jobs are based at Fort Meade, Md. Hagel also announced that he is appointing Rick Ledgett to be the NSA’s deputy director, replacing Chris Inglis as the top civilian at the agency. Ledgett, an NSA official, has been leading the task force assessing the damage from Snowden’s leaks. Alexander has served for nearly nine years as NSA director. He was the first commander of the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, which was set up in 2010.

U.S. prosecutors seek execution of marathon suspect By Denise Lavoie

The Associated Press

BOSTON — Federal prosecutors announced Thursday they will seek the death penalty against 20-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the Boston Marathon bombing, accusing him of betraying his adopted country by carrying out an attack calculated to cause maximum carnage. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to press for Tsarnaev’s execution was widely expected. The twin blasts last April killed three people and wounded more than 260, and over half the 30 federal charges against Tsarnaev — including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill — carry a possible

death sentence. “The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision,” Holder said in a statement of just two terse and dispassionate sentences that instantly Dzhokhar raised the stakes in one Tsarnaev of the most wrenching criminal cases Boston has ever seen. Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty. No trial date has been set. In a notice of intent filed in court, federal prosecutors in Boston listed factors they contend justify a sentence of death against Tsarnaev, who moved to the U.S. from Russia about a decade ago.

“Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received asylum from the United States; obtained citizenship and enjoyed the freedoms of a United States citizen; and then betrayed his allegiance to the United States by killing and maiming people in the United States,” read the notice filed by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. Prosecutors also cited Tsarnaev’s “lack of remorse” and allegations that he killed an MIT police officer as well as an 8-year-old boy, a “particularly vulnerable” victim because of his age. They also said Tsarnaev committed the killings after “substantial planning and premeditation.” In addition, they cited his alleged decision to target the Boston Marathon, “an iconic event that draws large crowds

of men, women and children to its final stretch, making it especially susceptible to the act and effects of terrorism.” Tsarnaev’s lawyers had no immediate comment. In an interview with ABC, Tsarnaev’s mother, who lives in Russia, said: “How can I feel about this? I feel nothing. I can tell you one thing, that I love my son. I will always feel proud of him. And I keep loving him.” Prosecutors allege Tsarnaev, then 19, and his 26-year-old brother, ethnic Chechens from Russia, built and planted two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the race to retaliate against the U.S. for its military actions in Muslim countries. The older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev,

died in a shootout with police during a getaway attempt days after the bombing. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was injured but escaped and was later found hiding in a boat parked in a yard in a Boston suburb. Authorities said he scrawled inside the boat such things as “The US Government is killing our innocent civilians” and “We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all.” Killed in the bombings were: Martin Richard, 8, of Boston; Krystle Campbell, 29, of Medford; and Lu Lingzi, 23, a Boston University graduate student from China. At least 16 others lost limbs. Tsarnaev is also charged in the slaying of the MIT officer and the carjacking of a motorist during the brothers’ getaway attempt.

Environmentalists clash with president over energy plan By Dina Cappiello and Matthew Daly

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is sticking to a fossil-fuel dependent energy policy, delivering a blow to a monthslong, behind-the-scenes effort by major environmental groups to convince the White House that the policy is at odds with his goals on global warming. The division between Obama and some of his staunchest supporters has been simmering for months, a surprising schism that shows the fine line the environmental community has walked with a president who has taken significant steps on climate change, and the recalcitrance of Obama’s White House when it is criticized, even by its allies. Days before Obama’s State of the Union speech, the heads of 18 environmental groups sent a letter to the president that had long been in the works saying his policy doesn’t make sense. They see a contradiction in increased American production of energy from oil and natural gas at the same time the government is attempting to reduce the pollution blamed for global warming. “We believe that continued

Santa Fe DigiPrint

reliance on an ‘all-of-the-above’ energy strategy would be fundamentally at odds with your goal of cutting carbon pollution,” they wrote. But in his speech Tuesday, Obama proclaimed that embracing all forms of energy, even carbon-pollution fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, is working. “Taken together, our energy policy is creating jobs and leading to a cleaner, safer planet,” Obama said. White House officials knew last spring that a letter objecting to Obama’s energy policy was in the works. They urged the environmental groups to wait until after Obama delivered a speech on climate change in June, hoping his aggressive steps on global warming would change their minds. “There is a cognitive dissonance inside the administration. We believe their commitment to fight climate change is genuine, and yet the energy policy goals of the administration make addressing climate change much more difficult,” Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said in an interview

with the Associated Press. The environmental groups’ stance could be dismissed as advocacy groups just doing what they do — pushing the president to go further on an issue important to their members. Already, they have protested a pipeline project carrying Canadian tar sands oil into the U.S., fought to shutter coalfired power plants and opposed hydraulic fracturing. But for the major groups, the letter marked new territory, the first time the lobby has been both united and sharply critical of Obama’s central environmental issue and one they support in principle: curbing climate change. “Not a lot of these groups have said it aloud. It does mark a shift in environmental community,” said Maura Cowley, executive director of the Energy Action Coalition, who signed the letter. No one in the environmental community is knocking what Obama has achieved. He has secured deals to double the fuel economy for cars and trucks, greatly expanded renewable energies such as wind and solar

power and has proposed the first-ever limits on carbon dioxide pollution from future coalfired power plants. This summer, the Obama administration is expected to take on the largest source of carbon dioxide pollution by proposing limits for existing coal-fired power plants. Yet, at the same time, the number of rigs drilling offshore in the Gulf of Mexico has returned to levels not seen since the BP oil spill. Oil production and natural gas production are booming, largely on private lands where the administration has little control, and as a result, the heat-trapping pollution from those operations is growing. While U.S. greenhouse gas emissions declined 4.5 percent overall from 2011 to 2012, thanks in part to a switch from coal to natural gas for electricity production being helped along by

2014 Legislature

Opposition to minimum-wage amendment could kill bill Democratic senator vows to fight measure in Rules Committee By Milan Simonich

The New Mexican

A push by Democrats to raise New Mexico’s statewide minimum wage through a constitutional amendment may die a quick death. State Sen. Clemente Sanchez said Thursday he will oppose the measure, and that could scotch it. Sanchez, D-Grants, sits on the Senate Rules Committee, where the constitutional amendment is to have its first

hearing. Four Republicans also are on the 10-member committee, and they almost certainly would help Sanchez derail the amendment on a 5-5 vote. “It won’t make it out of Rules,” Sanchez said in an interview. “I’m against it because I don’t think it belongs in the constitution.” He said he supported increasing the state minimum wage, now $7.50 an hour, but wanted it done by statute, not a constitutional change. Sanchez voted last year with every other Democrat in the Senate to raise the minimum wage by $1, to $8.50 an hour. That bill cleared the Legislature, but Republican Gov. Susana Martinez vetoed it. She said she would have

accepted an increase of 30 cents an hour. Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, is sponsoring the constitutional amendment to raise the minimum wage. He said he chose that route because the governor probably would again veto an increase approved by statute. But the governor cannot veto a constitutional amendment. If the Senate and the House of Representatives approve a proposed amendment, it would go to voters in the November election for a final decision. Sen. Martinez said he had hoped his party would close ranks behind his amendment. “I’m disappointed,” he said of San-

chez’s opposition. “I was counting on my fellow Democrats to support this.” He said he had hoped Sanchez would see the need for an increase, given the poverty in his district, which includes parts of Cibola and McKinley counties. Sanchez said he might introduce a bill of his own to raise the minimum wage. He said he probably would propose a 70-cent increase, to $8.20 an hour. That is far less than is proposed in a bill already filed in the House of Representatives. Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, is proposing an increase in the state minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Varela’s bill also calls for annual

increases in the minimum wage, based on the U.S. Consumer Price Index. The constitutional change that Sen. Martinez wants would start in July 2015. It would establish a new minimum wage based on cost-of-living increases from 2009 through the 2014 election. In addition, his amendment could annually increase the minimum wage, based on changes in the cost of living. Santa Fe already pays a higher minimum wage than those proposed by Varela and Sanchez. The city’s minimum wage will rise 15 cents, to $10.66 an hour, in March. Albuquerque and Bernalillo County also have a higher minimum wage than the rest of the state — $8.50 an hour.

Lobbyists shower state lawmakers with freebies Gila: It’s about more than the river, Wirth says By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Once again, legislators will be able to hit the slopes, courtesy of a leading ski industry trade group in the state. Lawmakers also will be getting plenty of free meals, drinks and receptions in their honor from lobbyists and interest groups in a time-honored tradition of influence and information peddling during the legislative session. George Brooks, president of Ski New Mexico, gave every lawmaker ski passes Tuesday to provide “an opportunity for legislators to become more familiar with the ski industry and tourism.” The total value of the ski passes, as reported in Brooks’ lobbyist expense report, was $27,750. That’s $250 per legislator, which happens to be the limit under the Gift Act, which regulates the value of gifts someone can legally give legislators. While the Legislature is in session, lobbyists are required to report expenditures larger than $500 within 48 hours of the spending. The reports reveal at least some of the wining, dining and good times lobbyists provide for senators and representatives. The VIP passes are gifts that Ski

New Mexico bestows upon lawmakers every year. So far this year, as in most years, there are no bills directly affecting the ski industry, except the state Tourism Department’s advertising budget. Typically in a session, the golf industry also gives golf passes to lawmakers. So far, that hasn’t shown up in the lobbyist reports. The ski passes allow the holder to ski two days at each of the industry trade group’s ski areas — which include most ski areas in the state. The passes are transferable, which means legislators can give their passes to family members, friends or staff members. Besides the ski passes, other reports that have been filed between the start of the session and late Thursday afternoon include the following: u Presbyterian Health Plan spent $8,851 on a dinner at La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa on Jan. 22 for legislators and guests, as well as Presbyterian Healthcare board members and staff. u Scott Smart, the lobbyist for Eastern New Mexico University, spent $7,707 for a “meet-and-greet” at the Inn and Spa at Loretto for “various legislators” to socialize and discuss legislation.

u Charles Henson, a lobbyist for the New Mexico Automotive Dealers Association, spent $7,668 for a Tuesday reception at the Inn and Spa at Loretto for all legislators, other elected officials, car dealers and guests. u William Smith, lobbyist for the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau, spent $5,000: Half of that went to the state Democratic Party to sponsor a legislative dinner. The other $2,500 went to the state Republican Party for a Republican dinner sponsorship. u Several lobbyists contributed $4,006 each for a Monday “Friends of the Legislature” dinner at La Fonda for various legislators. Those reporting include Varney Brandt, lobbyist for XCEL Energy-Southwestern Public Service; Arthur Melendres, lobbyist for Albuquerque Public Schools and New Mexico Broadcasters Association; and Leo Baca, lobbyist for CenturyLink. u The National Education Association spent $3,795 on a Jan. 22 reception at its local headquarters, 2007 Botulph Road. Invited were the governor, legislators and NEANM members. u BNSF Railroad spent a total of $3,025 on meals the first week of the session. That figure includes

$1,685 for a dinner Jan. 22 to discuss economic development with 13 people, including Rep. Patricia Lundstrom, D-Gallup, officials from the city of Gallup, McKinley County and others. The figure also includes $1,340 for a breakfast Jan. 23 to discuss economic development and highway projects with 30 people, including Lundstrom, Gallup officials, Chamber of Commerce members and state Department of Transportation commissioners. The report doesn’t specify where the meals took place. u Ruth Hoffman of Rocky Mountain Synod-Evangelical Lutheran Church spent $2,623 for the “Bishop’s Legislative Luncheon” on Tuesday at La Fonda. All legislators were invited. u Susan Loubet, a lobbyist for New Mexico Women’s Agenda, spent $1,738 for a Wednesday reception at Rio Chama Steakhouse for legislators and elected and appointed female officials. u The University of New Mexico spent $1,210 for a reception Tuesday at The Pink Adobe for all legislators, UNM Law School faculty, UNM Law School donors and two UNM Law School staff members.

Proposed gas tax hike would fund N.M. road projects The Associated Press

New Mexico’s taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel would increase by 5 cents a gallon for a decade under a proposal in the Legislature to help finance highway construction projects. The measure by the chairman of the House Transportation and Public Works Committee, Democratic Rep. Roberto “Bobby” Gonzales of Taos, would raise the gasoline tax to 22 cents a gallon through June 30, 2024, and then the rate would revert to 17 cents. The special fuels tax on diesel would go to 26 cents a gallon for the same 10-year period before returning to 21 cents. The additional tax revenue would allow the state to issue up to $300 million in bonds for 10 major highway improvements projects. Gonzales acknowledged Thursday it will be difficult to win approval of a tax increase during an election year, but he said it’s critical that New Mexico start to address a growing gap between needs for highway construction and mainte-

Legislative roundup Days remaining in session: 20 Guarding against a guard: A state district judge has issued a temporary restraining order requested by state Rep. Debbie Rodella, D-Española, against a member of a Senate security team. As originally reported by KRQETV, Algin Mendez, a former state police officer and Rio Arriba County sheriff’s deputy, was fired from the latter job by Rodella’s husband, Sheriff Tommy Rodella. In her request for the restraining order, Rep. Rodella said Mendez tried to intimidate her last week during a meeting of a committee discussing tribal gambling compacts. She also said Mendez accosted her and her husband on the dance floor of the Santa Claran Hotel last October. The restraining order forbids Mendez from coming within 100 yards of Rodella — which effectively means he can’t enter the Roundhouse while Rodella is there. KRQE said Mendez got his legislative job with the help of state Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española. The station quoted Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez saying he had confidence in Mendez, but that he would be allowed only to work inside and outside of the Senate chambers — and not in any com-

mittee rooms. KRQE said Mendez didn’t show up for work Thursday, and he couldn’t be reached for comment. A hearing is set for Feb. 10 to determine whether the restraining order will become permanent. Legendary Lou returns: Lou Henson coached New Mexico State University and the University of Illinois to the Final Four of college basketball. He will return to the sidelines next week, at age 82, to coach the state House of Representatives in its annual game against the state Senate. Age has robbed Henson of none of his intensity. About a month ago, before the legislative session began, he phoned Rep. Paul Pacheco to lay down some expectations. “He said, ‘Paul, this is Coach Henson. I’ll be coaching the House this year.’ He asked about my background, and I told him I played in high school. He told me to get in shape,” said Pacheco, R-Albuquerque. Henson led New Mexico State to the Final Four in 1970, losing to eventual champion UCLA. Henson took the Illinois job in 1975, testing himself against Big 10 coaches that included Bob Knight. Henson’s 1989 Illinois team also reached the Final Four. It lost 83-81 to conference rival Michigan, which won the national championship two days later against Seton Hall. Call from the White House: House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants, spent part of Thursday

Any tax hike will run into trouble with Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, who’s adopted a notax-increase stance since taking office in 2011. Taxes on motor fuels are a main source of money for road construction and maintenance, but revenue isn’t growing much, in part because vehicles are more fuel efficient. New Mexico’s 17-cents-a-gallon tax rate on gasoline has been in effect since 1995, and it’s among the lowest in the region. Oklahoma’s gas tax is 16 cents, Arizona’s is 18 cents, Texas’ is 20 cents, and Colorado’s is 22 cents a gallon, according to the American Petroleum Institute. The national average is about 21 cents, and the federal government also imposes a tax of 18.4 cents a gallon on gasoline. A nickel-a-gallon increase in taxes on gasoline and diesel would generate about $70 million annually, according to estimates last year by the state Taxation and Revenue Department. Among the projects that would be financed under the legislation is the $25 million reconstruction of N.M. 68 from Española to Velarde.

morning on a conference call with President Barack Obama, White House staff and legislators from around the country to talk about the president’s agenda outlined this week in his State of the Union address. “Speaker Martinez offered up a bushel of green chile from New Mexico to the White House, in which the White House graciously accepted,” a news release from House Democrats said. “The speaker then highlighted his commitment to increase to the minimum wage during New Mexico’s legislative session.” Lottery fixes: At least two Republican bills to address the state lottery scholarship solvency issues have emerged. House Bill 263, sponsored by Rep. Tim Lewis, Rep. Jason Harper and Sen. Craig Brandt, all Rio Rancho Republicans, would award qualified students a flat amount of money each year instead of paying full tuition, as the scholarships do now. This bill also would reduce the number of semesters covered by the scholarship from eight to seven. Meanwhile, Senate Bill 146, sponsored by Senate Republican Leader Stuart Ingle of Portales, would not allow a tuition rate to increase for a student with lottery scholarship. The bill also would raise the minimum grade-point average for the scholarship from 2.5 to 2.75, and it would raise the number of credit hours required to receive a scholarship from 12 to 15. “This bill would help the State’s

Lottery Tuition Fund to stay solvent while still helping serious students to stay in college,” Ingle said in a news release. Looking ahead: Sen. Michael Padilla’s Senate Joint Resolution 2, which would re-establish the state Board of Education, which would run the Department of Public Education instead of a Cabinet secretary, is scheduled to be heard by the Senate Rules Committee at 9 a.m. in Room 321 of the Capitol. The Rules Committee is one of three committees to which Padilla’s measure has been assigned. u KNME’s New Mexico In Focus will air a segment on Gov. Susana Martinez’s proposal to earmark 60 percent of this year’s capital outlay money for water projects. Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, and Sen. Bill Burt, R-Alamogordo, will be featured. There also will be a panel discussion about the outbreak of “amendment fever” — several proposed constitutional amendments dealing with issues such as the minimum wage and pot legalization — in the Legislature. The show airs at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, and 7 a.m. Sunday on KNME Channel 5.1. u Aggrieved Santa Fe educators will be in the House chambers at the Roundhouse at 9 a.m. Saturday to air concerns about “overload of testing,” “poor evaluation policy” and “insufficient funding.” They are inviting the public to listen to and share “tragic education stories” with legislators. The New Mexican

Continued from Page A-1 If New Mexico builds a diversion and stores the water, that water can’t be sold or leased anywhere outside the state. Under the settlement, the federal government will give the state $66 million to use on any water resource development projects, including conservation in the Gila Basin. In addition, the state might be eligible for $62 million more if it develops a river diversion and storage system. Both of those figures are in 2004 dollars. In 2014 dollars, the total amount would be more, but still only half the estimated cost of building a diversion, which is recommended by the engineering firm hired by the Interstate Stream Commission to analyze options. “It doesn’t make economic sense to go down that road when we don’t have even 50 percent of the funds in place yet,” Wirth said. Farmers, environmentalists, the general public and municipal, state and federal officials began meeting more than a decade ago, before the settlement was signed, to work out a plan. More than 200 meetings later, the Interstate Stream Commission settled on 16 potential projects in the Gila Basin — from municipal water conservation to river diversions. The commission’s staff and contractors are trying to finish a plethora of studies on how the projects would impact the region’s hydrology, economy, ecology and cultural resources. The commission will propose a plan for the Gila River in August to give the public time to comment, and it will make a final decision in November.

Debating diversion Wirth came to the Legislature in 2004, the same year the Arizona Water Settlements Act was signed. He’s been a member of the interim Water and Natural Resources Committee every year and has watched the Gila River struggle. “We’ve been briefed every year by the [Interstate Steam Commission] about the options,” he said. “The reason I agreed to sponsor these bills is because I think this is about way more than the Gila.” “The state already has huge water infrastructure needs and monetary obligations under existing water settlements,” Wirth said. “Here is a chance to focus these federal dollars in the Gila on water conservation, efficiency improvements and watershed restoration projects without any cost to state taxpayers. Not only is this a great road map for addressing New Mexico’s water supply issues in the rest of the state, it does not have us embarking on costly engineering projects that move relatively small amounts of water.” Lopez said any diversion on the river would not be a water-holding dam. It could be constructed to allow water flows to continue past a barrier and would only divert water periodically from the river when flows are high. “My staff is being painted as pro-diversion,” he said. “In my mind, we are trying to keep the diversion on the table as an option. Some people would like to take the diversion option off the table.” Lopez thinks the two Senate bills are designed to constrain the diversion option. “These two bills are not saying, per se, that the diversion can’t happen,” Wirth said. “The first bill is simply saying let’s use $82 million as a pilot for the rest of the state to show what can happen through conservation. The second says before [the Interstate Stream Commission] makes a decision that binds us to a dam, let’s make darn sure where the rest of the money is coming from, so taxpayers are not on the hook.” M.H. Dutch Salmon, a Silver City businessman, sportsman and former state game commissioner, opposes any form of diversion on the river. “We’re pretty universally against it,” Salmon said of residents he knows in the area. The nonprofit groups New Mexico Wildlife Federation and Trout Unlimited also oppose the river diversion, saying it will harm wildlife and outdoor recreation, which are important to the region’s economy. Salmon, who is chairman of the nonprofit Gila Conservation Coalition, said this is just the latest attempt to dam the river. He said there were dams proposed on the Gila in the 1970s and 1980s. Salmon said the proposed location for the diversion is a roadless area prized by outdoors enthusiasts for its unscathed landscape and unblocked wild river. The diversion would require a large pipe or canal to move the water. “Even if it is only an occasional diversion, it would still be a major construction project in a pristine area,” he said.

Continued from Page A-1 study cited by the exchange in its application for a federal grant under the Affordable Care Act. “We now estimate between 40,000 and 50,000,” Nuñez told The New Mexican in an email. The exchange announced Thursday that it had received a $69.4 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant was about 85 percent of the $81.4 million the state had requested. Nuñez said the grant was cut principally because of federal spending cuts commonly known as sequestration and also because of a lower than expected price tag for integrating some information technology systems for the exchange. Nuñez said he did not expect the reduced grant to hamper the exchange’s operations. “We feel we can stand up the exchange with the grant awarded,” Nuñez said. The first open-enrollment period for individual policies ends March 31, and small-business enrollment will continue throughout the year. The New Mexico exchange got off to a sluggish start with 934 enrollments in November. Exchange administrators blamed the difficulties with the federal Web portal’s introduction. By Dec. 28, enrollment in the state had climbed to 7,688. Currently, New Mexico’s health exchange website, www. BeWellNM.com, is a portal to the small-business insurance marketplace and redirects individuals to the federal site. A target date of Oct. 1 has been set for the site to begin serving the individual market as well. Two previous federal grants to get the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange off the ground total $52.8 million.

rates and cause investors to shift money out of emerging markets and into the United States for higher returns. Currency values in emerging economies have fallen over that concern. In response, central banks in emerging economies, from India to Turkey to South Africa, have been acting to counter any damage from the Fed’s pullback and the prospect of higher U.S. rates. They’ve been raising their own rates, hoping to control inflation, lift their flagging currencies and keep investors from fleeing. In Argentina, consumer prices are soaring, the treasury is short on foreign currency, and the peso has suffered its sharpest slide in 12 years. It’s possible the turmoil in those countries could spill into developed economies such as the U.S. Overseas demand for U.S. goods might suffer, for example, and investors might abandon stocks globally.

Chile: Crop is sacred to many Continued from Page A-1 has been passed to protect the spicy reputation of New Mexico peppers by targeting impostors everywhere from roadside stands to grocery stores. “We are the chile state,” declared Katie Goetz, a spokeswoman for the New Mexico Department of Agriculture. To help set the record straight, department officials aren’t waiting for the outcome of Sunday’s matchup between the Broncos and Seahawks. They’re sending care packages with 20 pounds of frozen green chiles, aprons, hats and recipes to Hancock and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray. Hancock announced this week he would be wagering a sampling of green chile from a half-dozen local restaurants. There are some chile farms north of Denver and near Pueblo, but many Denver restaurants source their pep-

pers straight from New Mexico, which pumps out more than 60,000 tons of green chile every year. “The flavor of New Mexico green chile is just unique, and nobody else can even come close to delivering that kind of flavor,” said Jaye Hawkins of the New Mexico Chile Association. “I’m assuming that’s what the folks in Colorado love about it.” When it comes to green chile, Gov. Susana Martinez said Thursday there’s no question it’s synonymous with New Mexico. “Although New Mexico doesn’t have an NFL team, we definitely win the Super Bowl of green chile every single year,” the governor said. “Our green chile, whether from Hatch or Chimayó or anywhere else in the state, is our state’s Lombardi Trophy.” Chile is a sacred crop in New Mexico. For neighbors to the north, it has become a culinary pursuit. “If you’re a Denver native, you’ll know all too well of the

green chile culture here,” said Amber Miller, a spokeswoman for the mayor. “People put it on everything, and then you can even eat it straight up as soup. We have chile cook-offs.” It’s not so different in Denver come late summer, when the sweet smell of roasting green chile permeates the air outside some grocery stores and markets, Miller said. “New Mexico and Colorado do share in two major items here — a love of our green chile and a love of the Denver Broncos,” she said. And for the Broncos, green chile has become somewhat of a good luck charm. Hancock first wagered it for the AFC title game and again during the playoffs. “We’ve just kept it on the table so hopefully it will take us through to a Super Bowl championship,” Miller said. If not, New Mexicans say they’re ready to help Hancock make good on his wager with some authentic green chile.

But most analysts think the improving U.S. economy will manage to withstand any damage that might spread from overseas. “I don’t think the [U.S. economy] is terribly vulnerable, assuming it doesn’t rock financial markets in a deep way,” said Joshua Feinman, global chief economist with Deutsche Asset and Wealth Management. “What we’re seeing in places like Turkey, South Africa and Argentina I don’t think matters all that much in the U.S. … The U.S. does seem to be gaining strength of its own domestically. And Europe is at least stabilizing.” The solid U.S. economic growth in the October-December quarter followed an even stronger 4.1 percent annual growth rate in the July-September quarter. But that surge was

due to a huge buildup in business stockpiles that slowed during the fourth quarter. The 3.2 percent estimated growth rate for the economy last quarter was the government’s first of three projections of gross domestic product for the October-December quarter. GDP measures the economy’s total output of goods and services. This year, economists think the economy will get a lift from continued gains in hiring. Further steady job growth would give more households money to spend and help increase consumer spending. In addition, U.S. manufacturers are expected to gain from rising global demand. And housing construction and auto sales are expected to strengthen further in 2014.

Green chile? Stand back, Colorado

The Washington Post

egendary football coach Lou Holtz gives motivational lectures about “overcoming seemingly impossible challenges,” according to his page on the Washington Speakers Bureau website. So it would seem that Holtz found an ideal client for his services: He was scheduled to deliver a keynote address Wednesday night to the House Republican Conference, meeting in Cambridge, Md. The retired Notre Dame coach, whose bio says he has a “sterling reputation for turning pretenders into contenders,” had his work cut out for him with this GOP squad. The night before, Republicans sat in the House chamber and listened to President Barack Obama inform them in his State of the Union address that, because they had refused to work with him, he would find ways to govern without them. Then, after no fewer than four Republicans gave televised responses to the president’s speech, a more memorable (if unplanned) response came from Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., who threatened to break a reporter in half and throw him off the [expletive] balcony of the Cannon House Office Building rotunda for asking unwanted questions. Grimm apologized Wednesday morning for his unsportsmanlike conduct. The larger problem for Republicans is a series of losses on key issues for the party’s conservative fan base. First, GOP lawmakers ignored complaints from conservative groups when they passed a 2014 appropriations bill this month that raised spending above previously set levels.

Then, before leaving town Wednesday morning for their private retreat on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, they passed a compromise farm bill that abandoned conservatives’ effort to make deep cuts in food stamps. Now come reports that the Republicans will abandon plans to fight over the next debt-limit increase. In addition, House GOP leaders will reportedly outline immigration legislation at the retreat that includes a path to legal status for illegal immigrants. These developments are good news for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who has been struggling for three years to corral his caucus. And they are good news for the country because they hint at the possibility that Washington is beginning to function again. But it’s a delicate spot to be in for Republican lawmakers because the conservative activists who brought them to power — and who still dominate the party’s grass roots — feel betrayed. Coach Holtz’s challenge: Is it possible for Republicans to play ball with Senate Democrats and the White House without losing their fan base and the groups that essentially own the team? The farm bill shows the conundrum. The legislation has been three years in the

making, and it was delayed last year by conservatives’ attempts to remove the foodstamp program from the legislation, to give food-stamp recipients work requirements and to cut the program by $40 billion over 10 years. But in the end, food stamps stayed in the farm bill, the work requirements became a work-training pilot program, and the $40 billion cut was eased to $8 billion — and that was achieved by eliminating a loophole involving homeheating assistance that would have allowed states to game the food-stamp program in ways even some liberals found dubious. On top of that, the 959-page compromise was made public late Monday night and the vote was held Wednesday morning, well short of the 72 hours Republicans promised in 2010 so that lawmakers could read legislation before voting on it. The House devoted all of an hour to debating the bill before dashing off to the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay. Groups affiliated with the tea party were furious. Heritage Action complained that “it means more unnecessary government dependence for wealthy farmers and food-stamp recipients.” The Club for Growth called it a “ ‘Christmas tree’ bill where

there’s a gift for practically every special-interest group out there with a well-connected lobbyist, including the fresh-cut-Christmas-tree industry.” But during floor debate Wednesday morning, I heard only one Republican voice opposition, and that was in a one-minute speech by Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana before the debate technically began. “Business as usual fought back and here we are today,” he complained. “This is exactly the kind of logrolling that we fought to prevent.” Sixty-two Republicans sided with Stutzman, Heritage Action and the Club for Growth. But 161 Republicans sided with Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., who said the bill “may not have exactly everything my friends on the right would want or my friends on the left would want. It represents making the process work, achieving consensus.” The problem for Republicans is that the people who brought them to power didn’t ask for consensus and smooth processes. They wanted blocking and tackling. Follow Dana Milbank on Twitter @milbank.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Gonzales not responsible for ‘hold harmless’

ayoral candidate Patti Bushee, rather than promoting her policies and vision for Santa Fe, has resorted to attacking Javier Gonzales on an issue that he had no role in promoting or voting on. The issue is the so-called compromise tax “hold-harmless” bill. The state Legislature compromised on this bill last year. It will cut 1 percent of Santa Fe’s revenue as it is phased in over the next 15 years. However, the same compromise also restored new tax credits for film, the socalled Breaking Bad tax credits. Santa Fe will gain over $6 million in new revenue this year alone, plus many jobs with Breaking Bad credits. Rather than criticize Javier, we should applaud the Legislature for passing a compromise that benefits Santa Fe. And with Javier as mayor he will fight to get that 1 percent back! Edward T. Stein

Santa Fe

Disclose expenses Patti Bushee is beginning to sound a

lot like Ronald Reagan. Reagan was the first one to call unions “special interests.” So Bushee and Bill Dimas are opposed to unions being able to communicate to their members and supporters who they support and why they support them because, presumably, they are “special interests.” Although Javier Gonzales has been endorsed by almost every union representing teachers, public employees and film and construction workers, Bushee has been endorsed by the firefighters and Dimas by the police. Are Bushee and Dimas going to tell their supporters not to spend any money informing their members and supporters why they endorsed them? At least Gonzales’ supporters are doing it the absolute right way: setting up a legal political action committee and disclosing all donations and expenditures. Are Bushee and Dimas supporters doing the same? Rosemary Romero

Real-world experience I take issue with your coverage of city council candidate Michael Segura in District 1 (“Personal record casts shadow on Segura’s campaign,” Jan. 26). The article begins with his legal and financial problems such as DWI convictions, which occurred years ago, in 1991, 2001 and 2009. The man is running for city council, not school bus driver, so his DWI record is irrelevant, and the same for his personal bankruptcy. What I like about Segura (who I do not know personally) is that he has real-world business and financial experience. I also like that he’s been personally subjected to police brutality, so he’s not under any illusions that the police are always trustworthy and responsible. We saw the reality of police brutality with the recent cold-blooded slaying of Jeannette Anaya by state police Officer Oliver Wilson. I don’t trust the other District 1 candidate, Signe Lindell, to speak out against police officers who abuse their power. Linda Chavez

e feel for Colorado. Yes, they have professional football, impressive mountains and enviable scenery. But when betting on the Super Bowl, the poor mayor of Denver is without a Colorado agriculture product to call his own. Else, why promise to send “Denver green chile” to Seattle if the Broncos lose to the Seahawks in the Super Bowl this Sunday? That’s right, outraged New Mexicans. Denver is putting our state’s most famous agriculture product on the line. Mayor Michael Hancock is wagering handmade skis, a hoodie and a sampling of what he claims is Denver’s “amazing green chile.” We, of course, know that even though some green chile is grown in southern Colorado, most Denver restaurants have a supply line leading straight to Hatch. Our state produces more than 60,000 tons of green chile a year. It’s not Denver green chile. It’s New Mexico green chile. (Even more insulting, the samples of chile he plans to mail the mayor of Seattle include some made with cumin and oregano.) Officials from the New Mexico Department of Agriculture aren’t letting the insult go without response. The smart folks there are preparing green chile care packages for both Mayor Hancock and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray. As for the Denver mayor, perhaps he should rethink the bet. We suggest true products of Colorado: a case of Coors beer and a mixtape of the best of John Denver.

Casino hearings out of place

en. Linda Lopez, as chairwoman of the essential Rules Committee in the state Senate, needs to learn how to set priorities. Her committee is where important appointees from the governor go to be vetted — we are still waiting on a vote of Public Education Department Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera (her hearing took place last year). This, in Gov. Susana Martinez’s fourth year. Department of the Environment Secretary-designate Ryan Flynn needs a hearing and a vote. Other appointees to boards and commissions — more than 100 — need to be moved along so the full Senate can vote. All of this, yet Lopez has decided that the Rules Committee is where a lease approved in 2011 now needs to be examined. Under scrutiny is the 25-year lease for The Downs Racetrack & Casino at Expo New Mexico in Albuquerque. We don’t disagree with Lopez that questions remain about the lease. However, in an election year (by the way, Lopez is an announced Democratic candidate for governor) and a 30-day session, there is little time for a fishing expedition disguised as a hearing. That’s especially true given the controversy over The Downs is nothing new. A hearing in 2012, perhaps, might have been a fact-finding mission. Now, it will be a distraction.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 31, 1964: There was more grain sorghum in storage in New Mexico on Jan. 1, 1964, than ever before in recorded history: 10,461,000 bushels. Other crop stocks were wheat: 3,659,000, corn: 4,320,000 bushels, barley: 250,000 bushels, oats: 84,000 bushels. Filming of a big budget modern Western comedy, taken from The Rounders, a novel by Taos author Max Evans, is expected to start near Santa Fe shortly. The movie will star Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda. It will be the first time the two famous actors have made a film together. Jan. 31, 1989: Governors from 19 New Mexico pueblos voted Friday to support a request for $7.5 million in federal funding to cover a deficit created by the addition of 52 new tribes to the program which supplies meals and other social services to the elderly. Congress decided to add the new tribes, including Hawaiians, starting next year. No additional funding was added to pay for the additional services which will be required.

Grandparents sleep with granddaughter

Dear Annie: I have a question regarding the appropriateness of a grandfather sleeping with a 5-yearold granddaughter during visits to her family home. In this case, the grandmother and grandfather take turns sleeping in the same bed with the granddaughter. I feel this is most inappropriate and sends very mixed messages to the child. I have read some research that suggests it shouldn’t be done after the age of 8, or at reaching puberty. What is your take? — Concerned Cousin Dear Cousin: Unless one of the grandparents is molesting the child, this is nothing to be alarmed about. The grandparents don’t live with the family and don’t sleep with the girl on a regular basis. We suspect this arrangement has more to do with the lack of beds during a visit and the desire to spend extra time with a young grandchild. If the girl objects (and if she doesn’t now, she will later), other arrangements should be made — such as a sleeping bag or an air mattress. Dear Annie: I have two girlfriends I’ve been very close to for several years. We are all in our 40s. Recently, we have grown apart. I’ve seen Facebook postings of things they are doing and pictures of activities they’ve done together, and I haven’t been invited to any of them. I mentioned this to one of them, who assured me they weren’t trying to hurt me. But I recently saw pictures of them celebrating on New Year’s Eve. The same friend told me it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, that they had no plans to celebrate, but circumstances allowed it when their shifts ended. When I asked the other friend, she gave a flippant remark as if it didn’t matter. Am I being oversensitive? Is it too much to think they could have called or texted me to join them? I sat at home, ringing in the New Year alone.

My gut tells me to move along. What do you think? — Afterthought Dear Afterthought: Your gut is right. These friends are no longer interested in making the effort to include you. Please search for friendships elsewhere. There’s no reason to sit home alone because others don’t call. Make your own plans. Get involved in activities that will allow you to meet others and become more interesting in the process. Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Massachusetts,” who is having an affair with “Harry,” her childhood sweetheart, even though both of them are married to others. I have been married to the same woman for 35 years, and it has not always been a bed of roses. My job placed a lot of stress on our marriage. But we persevered. I have always told my kids, their friends and anyone I know that marriage is the hardest “job” they would ever have. It takes a lot of effort and commitment from both sides to make it work, but anything worth having is worth working as hard as you can to achieve it. The benefits far outweigh the bad parts. I could have cheated numerous times, but when I pledged my vows, I meant every word. Obviously, “Massachusetts” and “Harry” were not quite so sincere. Those two have not only betrayed their spouses, but also their children. You want to mess around? Get a divorce first. I have no idea what either of your spouses has done to deserve the blatant disrespect you two have shown, but I hope they can find happiness with someone else after your divorce. What absolutely floors me is that you would write to Annie’s column, which is published across the country, asking her for suggestions to help you cheat. The only feeling I have for you is absolute contempt. — You Disgust Me

Season of high hopes slipping away from Desert Academy.

Suit: Ex-art teacher tried to choke first-grader Former Atalaya Elementary School instructor denies allegations, says charges made are ‘completely false’ By Anne Constable The New Mexican

Parents of an Atalaya Elementary School student on Thursday sued Santa Fe Public Schools, the school board and a former art teacher, alleging the teacher tried to choke their 6-year-old son for misbehaving in class. Roberta Johanson and Joey San-

doval say the teacher’s actions were “grossly excessive” and that since the December 2012 incident, their son is “terrified” to attend school, has trouble sleeping and is afraid to leave his parents. The teacher, Nina Mastrangelo, who was never criminally charged, is no longer working for the Santa Fe school district. Latifah Phillips, chief of staff to

Superintendent Joel Boyd, said Mastrangelo resigned in February 2013. Phillips added that the district is aware of the lawsuit, “and once we are formally served, we will analyze and proceed appropriately.” Mastrangelo declined to comment on the complaint, other than to say, “I will tell you, I have read it through, and the allegations concerning me are completely false. None of that happened. I don’t know why they are saying this about me.” She was specifically referring to the description of the classroom incident

cited in the court document. According to the complaint, Mastrangelo became “outraged” at the boy because he was “talking out of turn” during a first-grade art class. The complaint says she placed her arm around the child’s neck so that the crook of her elbow was against his throat and pulled him toward a wall, where she placed her hands around his throat “in a choking manner” and screamed at him. The complaint says she then lifted him by his neck so that the bottoms of his feet were no longer touching the ground and shoved him

Parched state awaits moisture N.M.’s three-month forecast does not promise relief as extreme drought conditions expand By Staci Matlock

he blood-red color on the U.S. Drought Monitor map released Thursday symbolizes the dryness that has spread across New Mexico and the rest of the West. Winter is half over, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains haven’t received significant snowfall since before Thanksgiving, when the region received a foot of snow, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The water equivalent of the snow left in the mountains was at 56 percent to 62 percent of the normal level over the last three decades, based on measurements taken at telemetry sites. Several inches of snow are predicted for elevations above 7,500 feet this weekend in the state’s northern mountain ranges, but otherwise the moisture outlook is not pretty. High winds also are expected to batter the state through Friday. The portion of the Land of Enchantment in extreme drought conditions — measured by precipitation, snowpack, soil moisture and other factors — rose to 13 percent. But that’s better than this time last year, when one-fourth of the state was in extreme drought. Only a small sliver of the far southern part of the state in Eddy and Lea counties shows a normal precipitation pattern. Albuquerque is in the third-driest winter stretch it has seen in the last 94 years, based on precipitation records. If Feb. 1 rolls around with no rain or snow at the Albuquerque International Sunport, the city will have gone 42 days without measurable moisture, the longest stretch dating back to 1920.

Drought conditions and winter precipitation looked even worse at the end of January 2013. But heavy rains in late summer and early fall made up the difference, leaving New Mexico close to normal precipitation levels by the end of 2013, according to the National Weather Service.

The water year in New Mexico — which measures precipitation as snow and rain beginning each October — started off well. The snows in November were followed by a dry December in most regions, but still left the state at 85 percent of average. The northwest and north-central portions of the state, including Santa Fe, fared best, based on observation sites. Santa Fe was at 80 percent of normal precipitation at the end of December. Eagle Nest, Chama and Los Ala-

Angel Fire fears end of dwindling water reserves By Jesse Chaney

Sangre de Cristo Chronicle

ANGEL FIRE — The village of Angel Fire will drain its emergency water reserves next year if the municipality continues to use the supply like it did in 2013. The village, with nearly 730 acrefeet of water demand last year, usually receives its annual allocation from a mix of water rights and a contract known as Permit 71, which provides water from Eagle Nest Lake. In past years, the 414 acre-feet available through the village’s “junior” rights — or those with lower priority — met the demand for municipal water from the beginning of January through the end of August. But the Office of the State Engineer won’t let the village use these rights in times when the Spring Ditch Co. has top priority, due to low flows in the ditch. This was the case for part of 2012 and all of 2013. “All it takes is some good storms, and Spring Ditch would fill up and be out of priority, but it just has to get the moisture,” said Alfred “Buster”

against the wall in a “rapid and violent manner.” The force used, the complaint says, “amounted to a brutal and inhumane abuse of official power that is shocking to the conscience.” The incident took place in view of other students in the class, according to the complaint. The boy’s parents said the back of their son’s head was swollen from being slammed against the wall. The lawsuit charges that Mastran-

high-priority rights, the village got a total allocation of only about 490 acre-feet in 2013, while the demand for municipal water came to about 728 acre-feet. The village had to dip into its reserves for the second year in a row. The reserves, also stored at Eagle Nest Lake, are replenished only when the village has excess water available at the end of the year. The village, established in 1986, didn’t use water reserves until 2012, when it took about 63 acre-feet from the supply. In 2013, it had to tap 239 acre-feet from the supply. The village has about 446 acre-feet of water remaining in storage, which won’t be enough to cover the shortfall in 2015 — unless it begins receiving more water or using less than it did last year. Despite efforts to conserve municipal water, usage increased in the village by about 85 acre-feet from 2012 to 2013. Angel Fire officials are trying to decrease water usage by eliminating

Teatro Flamenco co-founder Cecilio Benítez dies at age 80 By Uriel J. Garcia

The New Mexican

Cecilio Benítez, a Spanish theatrical director who helped spread his country’s culture across New Mexico and the United States, died at his home in New York City after a long illness, a family friend said. He was 80 years old. His daughter-in-law, Anna Benítez, said he had suffered for years from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Benítez was a co-founder of the Santa Febased María Benítez Teatro Flamenco and the Institute for Spanish Arts with his wife, María Benítez, who originally is from Taos. Cecilio Benítez was born in Barcelona but later moved to Madrid to start his career in theater at the age of 14. Benítez met his wife while in Madrid, where she was studying to become a flamenco dancer. The couple married in 1966 and moved to Taos and later to Santa Fe, where they founded the cultural organizations in the 1970s. “He was a reserved but incredibly artistic person,” said Theresa Cardenas, a close family friend. “His overall contribution was expanding the Spanish arts in America.” Both of the organizations he co-founded in Santa Fe with his wife were recognized internationally. According to an obituary prepared by his family, Cecilio Benítez began doing radio work on KDCE radio in Española in 1967, after he and his wife moved to New Mexico. The couple then moved to Sedona, Ariz., with their son in 1969, where Cecilio Benítez taught Spanish literature at Verde Valley School and directed plays. In 1973, the couple moved to Santa Fe, where they founded María Benítez Teatro Flamenco and later the Institute for Spanish Arts.

A 69-year-old woman from Bernalillo County has become the state’s fifth flu death of the season. The death comes amid signs that the disease is receding in the state, according to the New Mexico Department of Health. Department officials said they are tracking a decrease in the number of people seeing their doctor for influenza-like illness, which has dropped over the past three weeks from a peak of 7 percent during the week ending Jan. 4 to 4.6 percent for the week ending Jan. 25. However, the newest fatality brings the total in the 2013-14 season to five. People who have died from influenza range in age from 45 to 79 years old. Over half (52.9 percent) of all hospitalizations involved people ages 18 to 64. People 18 to 49 years old accounted for 27.1 percent of flu cases with hospitalizations; those 50 to 64 years old, 25.8 percent; and those 65 years and older, 26.6 percent. Children up to 4 years old accounted for 16.2 percent, and children 5 to 17 years of age,

lio Benítez co-founded, said he was an educated man and a bullfighting fan. Cecilio Benítez, along with his wife, gave a lot of New Mexicans the opportunity to meet and perform with a lot of great flamenco artists, Fajardo said. Fajardo, also originally from Spain, met Cecilio Benítez in Santa Fe after working in Canada, where he performed with María Benítez, he said. “They deserve a lot of respect because they were pioneers in spreading flamenco in New Mexico and across the United States,” Fajardo said. “They helped me out a lot in my career.” In addition to his wife, Cecilio Benítez is survived by a son, Francisco “Paco” Benítez, and five brothers who live in Spain.

4.4 percent. “As long as we have flu circulating in New Mexico, it is not too late to get vaccinated,” Health Secretary Retta Ward said in a statement. “All New Mexicans also can help prevent the flu and other illness by everyday actions, including washing hands with soap and water.” The predominant circulating flu strain in New Mexico and the United States is influenza H1N1. This strain was first identified in 2009 and might cause severe illness, even in healthy young adults. The New Mexico Department of Health is urging everyone 6 months of age and older to see their doctor or pharmacist about getting a flu vaccine. The vaccine currently is available and protects against H1N1 and other strains of flu. In Santa Fe on Friday, Blue Cross Blue Shield will be on the east side of the Roundhouse at Old Santa Fe Trail and Paseo de Peralta to provide flu shots. The vaccines will be offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday for those age 18 and over.

Texas board voting on textbook review rule changes AUSTIN, Texas — Texas’ long-standing cultural battle over textbook content could be inching toward a cease-fire. The State Board of Education will vote Friday on tightening rules for who can serve on citizen review panels that scrutinize textbooks for classrooms statewide, suggesting teachers or professors be given priority for subjects in their areas of expertise. In past years, some social and religious conservatives have volunteered for the panels and raised objections about science texts with extensive lessons on climate change and evolution. Those volunteers also used separate panels to suggest updates to the state’s curriculum to emphasize the importance of Christian doctrine in the founding of America.

The 15-member education board has final approval on textbook recommendation and curriculum, but its members are influenced by the review panels. Critics have long complained that a few activists with religious or ideological objections have too much power to shape what more than 5 million Texas public school students learn. “We don’t need lay people making these highly specific and technical decisions on these books,” said Thomas Ratliff, a Mount Pleasant Republican who is the chief proponent for the mandate, during the board’s meeting in November. Still, Texas is so large that edits it demands can affect textbooks sold in many other parts of the country. The Associated Press

time being, but the future is being eyed with caution. The situation, however, is not uniform throughout California, where 38 million residents share the water supply with a vast farming industry and a host of sensitive environments such as rivers where low flows can threaten fisheries. State officials have said 17 rural communities are in danger of a severe water shortage within four months. Brown said water conservation may be voluntary now, but “every day this drought goes on, we’re going to have to tighten the screws on what people are doing.” Brown acknowledged there is a geographic divide when it comes to water politics. “I’m going to do my best to unite this state. Water is something that we share, and we have a common interest in maximizing the economic wellbeing of the state. And one does that by using water wisely,” he said. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern Califor-

nia said it’s looking for ways to help water agencies to the north. During the state’s worst drought, in 1977, the district had a surplus in its reservoir in Northern California that it was able to transfer to Marin County. But that’s not the case this time around. The district said decades of aggressive water conservation and other measures have prevented a water crisis in Southern California. It’s urging residents to voluntarily cut water use and will ask that its board approve rebates for water conservation. The district’s general manager, Jeffrey Kightlinger, said he doesn’t expect to impose mandatory water cutbacks this year. “We’re pretty prepared for this drought. We have ample storage. We are in pretty sound shape.” But he acknowledged there are parts of the state where the situation is different. “Since this is a one-state issue, we’re going to look for how best we can help the rest of the state while retaining our reliability here,” he said.

Guns: Teen’s family seeks restraining order Continued from Page B-1 and demanded his license and registration. According to an affidavit for the search warrant, an officer stated that the victim and a witness heard Wheeler use several expletives during the incident. The student, 17, admitted to police that he had passed other vehicles in a no-passing zone, said Celina Westervelt, the police department’s spokeswoman. According to a police department news release, Wheeler left the campus while police were summoned, calling the incident

“ridiculous.” But Wheeler returned while officers were interviewing the student. He denied having a gun on campus but admitted to confronting the student for “driving like a maniac.” The affidavit says Wheeler told police that he did own guns and gave officers permission to search his vehicle. But when he was asked if he owned a “a small black semi-automatic pistol,” he told officers, “I’m not here to talk to you about that.” Officers found that Wheeler had a box of bullets in his vehicle, but no gun, although

there was a nylon holster for a .38-caliber handgun in the sleeve of Wheeler’s coat. Santa Fe County jail records show Wheeler was released on a $20,000 surety bond Wednesday. New Mexico Courts online records also show that the victim’s family has requested a temporary restraining order against Wheeler. A man named Allan Wheeler has written letters to The New Mexican on topics ranging from tourism to water usage. Contact Chris Quintana at 986-3093 or cquintana@sfnewmexican.com.

He also scared off strangers. Both neighbors said Romero lived with a woman, but they didn’t know the nature of their relationship. Neither wanted to be identified, saying they feared retaliation. Romero is facing felony charges in connection with the 1992 rape case, including counts of kidnapping and criminal sexual penetration of a child. A police document says that in October 1992, a man they

believe to be Romero offered a ride to the teen and took her to a park on Navajo Street, where he started to hug and kiss her. The man then raped her at gunpoint. Police working cold cases were able to match DNA evidence gathered during the rape investigation in 1992 with an old sample of Romero’s DNA that was in a national database. However, that wasn’t considered sufficient probable cause to arrest him. In December, investigators obtained a warrant to take a new DNA sample from Romero, and state laboratory results confirmed the match Jan. 24. Police still have not said why Romero’s DNA was in the

national database. Nick Apodaca, the president of the Pueblos de Rodeo Road Homeowners Association, where Romero lives, said no one in the neighborhood has complained about Romero, although Apodaca expected the case to come up at the next association meeting. According to online records, Romero was indicted on forgery, fraud and embezzlement charges in 1996. He was transferred to Santa Fe from the sheriff’s department in Brighton, Colo. Later that year and in 1997, he pleaded no contest to the charges against him. As of Thursday night, Romero was being held in lieu of a $50,000 surety bond at the

Santa Fe County jail. He is set for a preliminary examination at 8:30 a.m. Feb. 12 in Magistrate Court. Contact Chris Quintana at 9863093.

Airports wrestle with transporting of legal pot Colorado warns of fines, possible jail; Washington takes more relaxed view The Associated Press

DENVER — Among the many oddities that have arisen from marijuana legalization in Washington and Colorado is this: It can be easier to get through airport security with a bag of weed than a bottle of water. At Washington’s airports, including Seattle-Tacoma International, there’s nothing police can do to prevent travelers from flying with pot in their carry-on or checked luggage, provided it doesn’t exceed the state legal limit of 1 ounce. Instead, airport officials say, officers simply recommend that travelers leave it in their cars, toss it or have a friend pick it up. But in Colorado, where the legal pot law gives property owners more authority to restrict the drug, some airports have banned marijuana possession and enacted penalties, including fines as high as $2,500 and a jail stint at the airport in Colorado Springs. “Carrying marijuana in a civilian aircraft is illegal under federal regulations. That’s why we implemented the rule, to prevent marijuana from reaching a civilian aircraft,” said airport

spokeswoman Kim Melchor, adding that the airport has yet to levy a fine and that a drop-box where travelers can toss excess weed hasn’t been used. The situation underscores the difficulty officials in both states have as they try to prevent pot from leaving their borders — one of several conditions the Department of Justice imposed when it allowed the legal pot experiments to proceed. An attorney with Smart Colorado, which opposed legalization, worried about tourists transporting concentrated products, such as hardened hash oil that has enough THC, pot’s primary psychoactive chemical, for hundreds of uses. “For the size of a traveler’s shampoo

bottle, you can serve an entire urban high school and get them stoned,” Rachel O’Bryan said. Voters in the two states approved legalizing marijuana for adults over 21 in 2012, but the laws don’t allow people to take pot out of state. Federal law prohibits marijuana possession, on a plane or anywhere else. Anyone who touched down in the other 48 states where marijuana is illegal would also be violating state law. While the Justice Department said it wanted the states to keep the legal weed in state, there’s been little to keep people from trying to bring back souvenirs from the legal-pot states. The Transportation Security Administration makes travelers empty their water bottles, but when agents encounter personal amounts of marijuana at security checkpoints, they typically don’t call the DEA or FBI. Federal prosecutors don’t waste their time on such small potatoes. An agency spokesman said TSA’s focus is on terrorism and threats to the aircraft and passengers. TSA agents normally hand over pot cases to local law enforcement officers, who have little recourse in Colorado and Washington. At Sea-Tac, they rely on a “totality of the circumstances” test to decide whether to make an arrest or investigate further, Port of Seattle spokesman Perry Cooper said: Is the

passenger combative or assaultive, or carrying vast amounts of cash? Detention might be warranted for some of those things, but not for the pot itself, he noted. Airports say there have been few incidents where passengers have been stopped carrying marijuana. The Port of Denver banned pot at Denver International, with fines of up to $999. No one’s been fined yet. At the urging of Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo, Aspen’s airport is installing an “amnesty box” where travelers can drop any leftover weed before taking to the skies. In the few cases where travelers have been caught trying to take pot on a plane, they have received polite reprimands and no legal consequences. “How do we invite people here, tell them they can use a product and then prosecute them when they try to leave the state?” he asked. His office has confiscated marijuana edibles from several travelers at the Aspen airport — after obtaining voluntary releases of the property — but has not taken legal action against them. Travelers were caught taking as much as 5 pounds of pot-infused candies and oils, he said. But the Colorado initiative allows people to carry up to 1 ounce of THC. DiSalvo said there probably was not that amount of THC

Medical marijuana clears Ariz. court hurdle The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Prodded by a court ruling, Maricopa County now has a zoning ordinance allowing medical-marijuana dispensaries in unincorporated areas of the county.

U.S. senator’s son arrested on drug charge in Colo. DENVER — The son of U.S. Sen. Mark Udall was arrested on drug and trespassing charges, the Boulder County Sheriff’s office said Thursday. Jedediah Lee FoxUdall, 26, was booked into Boulder County Jail Wednesday on suspicion Jedediah Lee of possesFox-Udall sion of drugs and four counts of trespassing, Cmdr. Heidi Prentup said. Deputies found him about noon when responding to a call of a man breaking into cars in the semirural community of Eldorado Springs, where Sen. Udall lives. They discovered drug paraphernalia on Fox-Udall, and he admitted using heroin in the previous 48 hours, Prentup said. He was released on $1,500 bond Wednesday evening and is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 20. Udall and his wife issued a statement Thursday saying they were distressed to learn of their son’s arrest and asked for privacy to deal with it as a family. They said they love their son and “stand with him in his commitment to getting the treatment he needs.” Court records show FoxUdall also faces a misdemeanor charge from a December incident in which he allegedly stole Advil and Imodium from a supermarket. The Associated Press

schools, day care centers, parks, adult-oriented businesses and other medical-marijuana facilities, The Arizona Republic reported. The county previously had a zoning classification that effectively blocked dispensaries and cultivation sites. But a judge ruled in a lawsuit filed by a would-be operator of a planned dispensary in Sun City that the county wasn’t in compliance with the state’s voter-approved law on medical marijuana.

The county is appealing the trial judge’s ruling. County Attorney Bill Montgomery called the board’s approval of the zoning ordinance an “intermediate zoning solution” that was necessitated by the court order. “Obviously, I disagree with the trial court’s order; that’s why we’re appealing it,” Montgomery said. “Nonetheless, I can’t expect people, as the county attorney, to follow the law if I’m not going to obey court orders either.”

Meanwhile, White Mountain Health Center is awaiting approval of its application for a building permit for its planned dispensary in Sun City. It plans to open in March. “It’s been incredibly frustrating,” said Jeffrey Kaufman, attorney for White Mountain. “It’s been unfair to the sick people of Sun City and that area, but they’re looking forward to moving on and hope that they’ll be able to open quickly.”

Jeffrey Gard, a Boulder attorney who represents marijuana users and sellers, said there’s no reason for Colorado airports to worry about people boarding a plane with pot. “By law, it’s no different than bringing a flask or a pack of cigarettes,” he said. “As tourists come here and do dumb things you’re going to see more of these things happen.” Gard advises clients not to board planes with pot. The risk, he and other marijuana advocates say, is too great. Sean McAllister, a lawyer who is on the board of the Colorado chapter of NORML, a pot legalization group, said that medical marijuana patients used to be allowed to fly with their medication to other states with similar laws. But Denver’s airport ban on pot, which went into effect on Jan. 1, now means those patients might get their legal medication trashed, he said. “The law’s getting looser in Colorado, and they’re getting stricter,” McAllister complained. Airports say they aren’t bracing for an influx of travelers carrying marijuana from Colorado and Washington. “Law enforcement officers in Texas enforce the laws of Texas, and it’s incumbent on people from Colorado to know the laws in places where they’re going,” said David Magana, a spokesman for Dallas-Fort Worth International.

time running out for wildcats

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

After leading the Los Alamos girls soccer team for 22 years, head coach Jiri Kubicek is hanging up the whistle and officially stepping down Saturday. In a letter sent to Los Alamos athletic director Vicki Nelms, Kubicek said his family and his health were the reasons for his retirement. He could not be reached for comment by The New Mexican on Thursday. Jiri Kubicek Kubicek appeared in nine state championship games with the Lady Hilltoppers. He won titles in 1998 in Class A-AAA and in 2003 in AAAA. He is leaving Los Alamos with an overall record of 332-143, good for a .699 winning percentage He made his first state championship appearance in 1994 when all girls soccer teams were consolidated into Class A-AAAA, where the Lady Hilltoppers lost to Albuquerque La Cueva. That loss also doubled as the Lady Hilltoppers’ first loss of that season. Los Alamos made it to the championship game three straight years from 2008-10, but fell to Albuquerque Academy each time. In total, the Lady Hilltoppers had a 1-5 record against the Lady Chargers in championship matches. Kubicek did get the upper hand on them in 2003. Kubicek’s teams even got some national attention. In 2012, Los Alamos was visited by the Strongsville,

NFL SUPER BOWL XLVIII

Receiver’s grandma, mom root from prison By Arnie Stapleton

The Associated Press

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Demaryius Thomas’ mother and grandmother will cheer for the Broncos receiver around the prison TV Sunday, both wearing No. 88 jerseys they crafted with strips of tape. The two women have never seen Thomas play in person. He was 11 when police burst through the door of their home in Demaryius Montrose, Ga., and Thomas arrested both in 1999. Police allowed Katina Smith to walk her son and his two younger sisters to the school bus one last time. Now she’s at a minimum-security prison in Florida, sentenced to 20 years. Her mother, Minnie Pearl Thomas, who had two previous drug convictions, received two life sentences with the possibility for parole after 40 years. Smith could have gotten a lighter sentence by testifying against her mother, but she refused. They’ll watch Thomas play in his first Super Bowl Sunday, when he will be matched against Seahawks star cornerback Richard Sherman for much of the game. “I think that drives me more to know that they’re there and they’re watching me,” Thomas said. “I try to go out there and play my best because they’re going to talk about it to the people in the jailhouse.” Thomas’ father was serving in the Army and stationed in Kuwait when his mother and grandmother were arrested. He went to live with an aunt

tion for which 2A teams advance to the postseason and which will D. Academy 42 watch it. But with the way Desert Academy played, head coach Ernie Rodriguez wasn’t sure if extending the season into March would be much of a victory for his team. “People that finish weak usually finish early,” Rodriguez said. “So we don’t have a lot of options. If we don’t improve, it doesn’t matter if we get into the state tournament. Getting into the state tournament, while it might be nice for some, getting there ill-prepared to do anything. … It’s a short stay to say the least.” Preparation and focus were in short supply for the Jemez Valley 61

p. It’s the only direction for the Desert Academy Wildcats to go. A boys basketball season that was filled with aspirations of being a contender in District 2A and perhaps in Class A in November might have reached its nadir on Thursday night. Not even the presence of 6-foot-6 senior center Josh Bohlman could have made a difference against 2A foe Jemez Valley, as the Warriors hounded the Wildcats in a 61-42 win that was not even that close.

Super Bowl weather: Calm down

as the Super Bowl advanced to such a prima donna stage that we wring our hands over … the weather? I mean, this is football we’re talking about here? This is the sport that popularized the term “frozen tundra” (of Lambeau Field. Yes, most of us have watched NFL Films) and coined several James “bowl” games — The Ice Bowl, Barron the Fog Bowl, the Commentary Snow Bowl. But ever since Super Bowl IX, which was played under cloudy, dreary conditions in temperatures in the 40s, the NFL’s championship battle has taken place in relative warmth, be it indoors or out, and in mostly supreme conditions. So the NFL decides to bring the Super Bowl up north — to the outdoor chill of New York City — and the freakout begins. While the latest weather reports suggest it will just be cold — temperatures in the high 30s, but no snow or rain — the panic that simmered under the surface of snow, wind and bone-chilling cold was laughable. Postpone the Super Bowl? Seriously? Granted, the wintry weather that hammered most of the Midwest and East Coast over the past month-anda-half was bizarre in its own sense, but since when did it cause such an upheaval with a sport that is accustomed to harsh conditions? Where was the outrage when the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers played in the NFC Wild Card game on Jan. 4, which was played in 5-degree temperature and a windchill of minus-10? Why was it fine to play that game, but God forbid we have to deal with such conditions for the Super Bowl? Perhaps part of the issue is the type of crowd that will be there at the game. Sure, the hardiest of die-hard fans will be there screaming their lungs out — and some of them in so little clothing that you’d think it was summer. But you also have a very, how should we say, cosmopolitan crowd that is there because of the event, not the game. It’s cool to be there — so long as the weather is fine and the drinks don’t freeze. If one snowflake dares to float from the heavens, the panic that ensues might only rival what happens in Phoenix when a flake dares to enter its space. For the NFL to even entertain the notion of postponement is absurdist theater. If anyone wants to complain about the weather in New York City in February, please tell that to every highschool player who steps on to an icy field to pursue a state championship. Heck, talk to the folks at Clayton and Las Vegas, N.M. Clayton endured minus-16 degree wind chill to become the Class AA state champion. The Cardinals of Las Vegas Robertson won their AAA title in 15-degree weather with a wind chill of minus-3 by the end of the game. But you couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces when they were rewarded with that blue trophy. I doubt Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning or any of the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos would care if a hurricane descended upon them when they get their hands on the Vince Lombardi Trophy. And neither should the rest of us.

WINTER OLYMPICS

Russians face high stakes in men’s hockey By Greg Beacham

The Associated Press

Sidney Crosby and Canada are traveling halfway around the world in search of another golden moment. Sweden, Finland and the U.S. team arrive in Sochi brimming with NHL talent and intending to depart with medals. While every elite hockey player in the world desperately wants to win his sport’s biggest international

tournament, nobody needs to win in Sochi like the host team and Alex Ovechkin, the peerless goal-scorer expected to put Russia back atop the Olympic podium. “Russia is going to have a whole different kind of pressure,” said Teemu Selanne, who will suit up for the Finns in his record-tying sixth Olympics. “And it’s not easy to be that team.” The Olympic men’s hockey competition is much more than a glorified All-Star week to the 150 NHL players

exchanging their money-making jerseys for their national colors in 12 frantic days on the Black Sea coast. The NHL’s stars are back at their fifth consecutive games, and the defending champion Canadians are largely favored to win their third gold medal in four Olympics. Yet even Wayne Gretzky realizes all eyes in Sochi are squarely on the home team, saying the Russians will be “very difficult for anybody to beat.”

“There’s a number of teams that can win,” said Gretzky, who played for Canada in Nagano and built its gold-medal team in Salt Lake City. “It comes down to the same thing all the time: Best goaltender, and if your best player is the best player on the ice and the best line on the ice, your team is ultimately going to be the goldmedal winner.” The vaunted Soviet Union team

Sol 72 ing the Dragons 58-51 at the end of the third quarter. The Rangers (7-12, 1-1) went on a 26-14 run in the fourth quarter to get a win after dropping three straight. “We picked up our pressure on the defense,” Mora head coach James Branch said. “The kids came out and played well. They shut them down.” Branch characterized this as an emotional game because the Rangers have lost so many close ones. “Our record doesn’t reflect how hard we play,” Branch said. “We haven’t had a big win in a while.” Casimiro Fresquez had 24 points to lead the Rangers, while Jeremiah Olivas and Miguel Olivas added 14 each and Travis Romero and Jerome Alcon each added 10.

Dragic, Suns hand Pacers 2nd home loss The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Goran Dragic had 28 points and seven assists, and the Phoenix Suns handed the Suns 102 Indiana Pacers 94 Pacers just their second home loss of the season with a 102-94 victory Thursday night. Gerald Green and Marcus Morris scored 16 points apiece

to help the Suns win their fourth straight game. Roy Hibbert had 26 points and David West added 18 for the Pacers (35-10). Morris hit a 3-pointer with 2:58 remaining to give the Suns a 98-92 lead and Dragic dunked to give the Suns a 100-94 with 44 seconds left. The Suns scored 66 points in the first half — the most given up by the Pacers in a half this

season since the Suns scored 62 on Indiana a week ago in a 124-100 win.

Time: Lack of confidence blamed for loss Continued from Page B-5 Wildcats, as well as depth since Bohlman sat out the game with a thumb injury that left just three reserves on the bench. After Desert Academy (11-7 overall, 3-3 2A) scored the first four points of the game, the Warriors went on a 9-2 run that set the tone for the rest of the evening. Jemez used its press to force 29 turnovers overall and 19 in the first half to take a 34-22 lead. The tactic was something Warriors head coach Harlyn Francisco hadn’t used much during the season, but he went to it right after the sluggish start. “I saw that we needed to press them a little bit,” Francisco said. “This was the first time we pressed a team.” Once that happened, the turnovers came in bunches. Eleven came in the opening quarter as Jemez Valley (9-9, 5-2) built an 18-12 lead. Desert Academy worked the ball inside with some success in second quarter and a Michael Heath layup with 5:08 left in the first half cut the Jemez lead to 20-17. But the collapse came swiftly after that. The Wildcats went 2-for-9 to finish the quarter and committed six turnovers as Jemez went on a 14-5 spurt to take a 34-22 lead at the half. The cold shooting continued in the second half as Desert Academy missed seven of its first eight shots from the field, and the Warriors scored 16 of the first 18 points of the third quarter for a 50-24 lead. It was a frustrating sight for the Wildcats, especially Bohlman, who is averaging 10.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. He said the Wildcats have not looked the same since losing to Magdalena, the No. 2 team in A according to MaxPreps.com, by

Desert Academy’s Alex Redmond, left, goes up for a basket while Jemez Valley’s Trevor Armijo tries to defend during Thursday’s game at the Driscoll Center at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

a 73-40 count to open the 2A season. “I think we’ve had a lack of self-confidence since then,” Bohlman said. “I’ve seen it in the team that we’ve had our heads down since then and we haven’t been playing our best.” Rodriguez has noted that crisis of confidence.

“Right now, we’re struggling with an old mentality,” Rodriguez said. “It cropped up for the Magdalena game, where we are giving more credit [to opponents] than is due and we are short-changing ourselves while we do it. We need to learn to control our nerves, and we need to learn that there are certain aspects we can control and those are the things we need to focus on.” When the going is good, the Wildcats can rely on the one-two combination of Bohlman and Mack Snyder inside and guard Sudi Torres to slash to the basket. It was not a good sign when both Snyder and Torres spent time on the bench in foul trouble. Both seniors fouled out, with Snyder scoring a game-high 16 points. Torres, though, struggled to a four-point performance. Adjusting to Rodriguez, who replaced Jonathan Salazar after he took the varsity assistant coach position at Capital, and his style has had its bumps as well. Rodriguez’s extended pressure from a man-toman set goes against the zone principles the Wildcats were accustomed to a year ago. Some of those old habits have been hard to change. “They have some experience in standing in 2-3 zones, and one-on-one,” Rodriguez said. “That’s not the way I coach, that’s not the way I play. When you’re learning new things, if you don’t maintain a high-level of concentration, then you are going to have a breakdown.” The only way to overcome a breakdown is to fix it, but time is short for the Wildcats. So is the confidence.

Thomas: Receiver antithesis of prima donna Continued from Page B-5 and uncle, Shirley and James Brown, a Baptist minister who lived six miles away. Thomas, called “Bay-Bay” by his family, started working as an usher at the church and attending Bible study after track and basketball practices. “Once I moved in with him, I told him I wanted to do something to stay off the streets and stay out of trouble, so I tried football,” Thomas said. “And it worked out for me.” Thomas played at Georgia Tech and was a first-round pick by Denver in 2010. Injuries slowed him down until his 80-yard catch from Tim Tebow in overtime beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Two months later, Peyton Manning came to Denver and Thomas has flourished ever

since, catching 204 passes for 3,089 yards and 27 touchdowns over the last two years. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound deep threat has an uncanny mix of size, speed and strength — Wes Welker laughed about his “Triple-XL gloves.” Dominique Rodgers Cromartie said he lost a bet when he challenged Thomas to throw a ball 60 yards from his knees “and he just flicked it!” Yet, Thomas is the antithesis of the prima donna wide receiver who demands passes and attention. He never says a thing to the cornerback covering him, much less talk trash. It goes back to the values instilled in him by his aunt and uncle, Thomas said. “It made me a stronger man and a better man just being in that atmosphere, working

harder, knowing that nothing’s going to be easy.” Brown said it wasn’t easy taking in another child with three kids of his own and just one paycheck, but he found ways to make it all work. He also found the money to keep Thomas involved in sports. “I truly believe his Christian upbringing and sports, playing basketball and football, contributed to him releasing a lot of the anger and anxiety that he had in him,” Brown said. “He left it on the basketball court, on the football field so it didn’t get bottled up in him.” Thomas led all NFL receivers in TD receptions (14) and yards after the catch (718) this season while grabbing 92 passes for 1,430 yards. In the playoffs, he has 15 receptions for 188 yards and TDs in both

of Denver’s wins. “Watching him mature as a football player and as a person has been tremendous,” teammate Eric Decker said. “The guy has so much talent.” Brown says he just wanted Thomas to grow up to be a good man, never thinking he would become a star. “The blessing has been just seeing the product of how we took this young man who was lost — well, trying to find his way — and we were able to nurture him and give him what he needed,” said Brown, who will be in the stands Sunday. “When Demaryius was staying with us, I never dreamed that he would be in the Super Bowl. I just wanted to make sure the anger in him didn’t send him down the wrong path like his mama and grand-mama had gone down.”

TORONTO op star Justin Bieber is giving Toronto Mayor Rob Ford a brief respite as Canada’s favorite bad boy and butt of all jokes. Ford has admitted smoking crack while in a drunken stupor and is being sued for supposedly orchestrating the jailhouse beating of his sister’s ex-boyfriend. The 19-year-old teen idol is facing the equivalent of a misdemeanor assault charge. “It’s a change from the Rob Ford show,” said 14-year-old Jon Bullock, who braved glacial temperatures to catch a glimpse of the star as he turned himself in at a Toronto police station Wednesday evening to face charges over an altercation with a limousine driver in late December. The incident, which comes on the heels of Bieber’s Miami arrest while apparently drag racing and driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs, is the latest to sully the image of the singer, who has been drawing more attention for his brushes with the law than for his music. For now at least, Bieber has eclipsed Ford as fodder for late-night comedy talk shows on both sides of the border. “He had to fly to Toronto to turn himself in. Boy, this kid is really on a crime spree. He’s become a menace to society. I liked him better when he was just a menace to music,” said TV comedian Jimmy Kimmel. “By the way, when you have Justin Bieber and Rob Ford together in the same place, it’s like Gotham City got attacked by the Joker and the Penguin at once.” Others feel a comparison with Laurel and Hardy more appropriate. On Wednesday, former Globe and Mail reporter Steve Ladurantaye tweeted an image of Bieber and Ford decked out to resemble the classic comedy duo. “Seems as good a time as ever to look at this picture again,” Ladurantaye, who now works for Twitter Canada, said in the tweet. Even some members of the Toronto City Council — all too familiar with Mayor Ford’s foibles — were compelled to weigh-in on the battle of the country’s bad boys. “Both Justin Bieber and Mayor Ford need to get their lives together,” said Toronto City Councilor Joe Mihevc on Thursday on the sidelines of a council meeting. Amidst all the hullabaloo, it’s perhaps not surprising the Toronto mayor has rushed to Bieber’s defense. “He’s a young guy. I wish I was as successful as he was. He’s 19 years old. Think about when you were 19,” Ford opined during one of his regular call-in appearances on a Washington, D.C., radio show called The Sports Junkies. Beyond the jokes, however, there’s a sense of embarrassment, damaged pride and the feeling that Bieber and Ford are behaving in way that’s just not Canadian. “Canada has always been considered this polite place. People like Sarah McLachlan and Shania Twain have ful-

filled that stereotype as seemingly nice, friendly people who don’t get into a lot of trouble,” said Joshua Ostroff, the Huffington Post Canada’s pop culture columnist and senior editor. Ostroff said the Canadian rapper Drake got it right when he joked a couple of weeks ago on Saturday Night Live that Toronto is the kind of place where rappers are nice and the mayor smokes crack. “It was a great joke because it’s absolutely true. Drake is the kind of rapper you expect Canada to produce and Bieber is acting counter to our stereotypes,” Ostroff said. But Ostroff worries that lumping Ford and Bieber together threatens to trivialize the mayor’s actions. “The people Ford has been associated with have been accused of murder. Bieber has been an idiot like many 19-year-old boys. He egged a house. He maybe drag raced after having a beer. They are all dumb things and he deserves to be pilloried for it, but comparatively, he’s not an adult, he’s not the mayor of North America’s fourth largest city and he’s not actually hanging out with gangsters and the mayor of Toronto is,” Ostroff said. A side-effect of Bieber’s scuffles with the law has been to remind Americans that the teen idol is not a U.S. citizen. Advocacy groups, acutely aware of how less famous immigrants are treated upon arrest in the United States, have started an online petition with more than 100,000 signatures demanding that the Obama administration “deport Justin Bieber and revoke his green card.” They point out that were Bieber an American citizen, a conviction for driving under the influence or assault would be enough to get him deemed inadmissible to Canada. Errol Nazareth, a pop culture commentator for the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, says he thinks deportation is a bit much. “It’s really just an imperfect storm of two people who seem to be up to no good at the same time. It’s really just more of a circus than a statement on our reputation,” Nazareth said. “Bieber is trying to project this bad boy image. They [Bieber and Ford] are both projecting weird images and it’s not surprising they become the butt of jokes. They’re easy targets.”

he increasing popularity of social networking has certainly made it easier for anonymous users to search personal information and instantly discover your true interests. Although this ability is known to have impacted job applicants’ efforts to gain employment, it seems that college admissions officers are using this approach as well. A recent Kaplan Test Prep survey reported that a greater percentage of admission officers searched applicants’ social media sites in 2013 compared to 2012. The survey of about 380 admissions officers found that 32 percent had searched an applicant’s Facebook or other social media site while 29 percent Googled an applicant to see what they could find out. However, the number of officers who found something that negatively impacted the applicant’s chances decreased from 35 percent to 30 percent in the past year, according to the survey. Yet this activity is not yet a common practice among New Mexico colleges, it seems. The University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University and Eastern New Mexico University all prefer to use social media as a means of communication with prospective and current students, according to representatives of those institutions. Admission to these schools generally is based on an applicant’s grade-point average, test scores and applications. “The quantity of applicants is so substantial that [checking social media] would be almost impossible,” said Matt Hewlett, director of admissions at The University of New Mexico. “It is also not necessary as we are primarily checking to see if they will be successful at this school. This is certainly a debate within the profession, but it just depends on what the office is looking for.” He said he does not foresee the university using this practice anytime soon. Anya Markowitz, a graduate of Santa Fe Prep and current student at Yale University, said, “I haven’t heard about anyone being directly penalized for their social media presence by college applications, but I think it is something that every high school senior is intuitively aware of at this point. You can pretty much tell the moment application season starts because your high school-age Facebook friends’ names will disappear and morph into song lyrics and stuff like that.” Markowitz said that she did take the extra precaution of changing her Facebook name to Anya Sofia, a variation of her middle name, when she was applying to Yale. According to the Kaplan Test Prep survey, 50 percent of students said they would “not be at all concerned” if a college admissions officer searched their online presence. One student who fits this category is William Fong, a student at the New Mexico Institute of Mining

and Technology. “I did consider [social media] when applying for college, but I don’t post anything that could negatively affect me. I also don’t know anyone who has been affected by this. Everyone does a good job of keeping anything like that off of the Internet,” he said. Still, some might advise students to be more careful when it comes to posting online. The Kaplan Test Prep website suggests that students search their own names online regularly so they can always be aware of what information is available out there about them. Students also should keep anything obscene or unflattering off social networking sites as colleges do not want such misbehavior occurring on their campuses. On the flip side, these social media sites can offer a chance to

present a student’s talents and hobbies, which could help when it comes to being accepted by a college. Benson Hendrix, an adjunct instructor at UNM’s Communication and Marketing Department, said, “social media is a great way for students to highlight what they’re interested in. They can show what they are doing. A writer can showcase their work or an artist could post their drawings and paintings. When they later meet admissions officers they could point out these accomplishments. Social media can provide [students] with an opportunity to put their best foot forward.” Marielle Dent is a freshman at The University of New Mexico. Contact her at marielle.j.dent@ gmail.com.

What were the best and worst parts of your first semester at college?

SPEAK OUT

The freedom and decision-making that accompany the first year of college can be enlightening, harrowing and mindboggling. In today’s issue of Generation Next, our writers explore the various aspects of the freshman experience — be it creating gap-year memories or having your social media sites checked out by college-admissions officials. Of course, these aren’t the only takes on that life-changing first year in college: Cinema has had its say as well. Here are five movies that deal with the first-year experiences of both students and teachers.

‘Horse Feathers’ (1932) Starring the ever-hilarious Marx Brothers, this film revolves around a high-stakes football game between the fictional Darwin and Huxley colleges. Groucho plays Quincy Adams Wagstaff, the new president of Huxley, while Zeppo plays his son, Frank, who is embarking on his 12th year at college and convinces his father to illegally recruit professional football players to help their team — and that’s where Harpo and Chico come in. Jokes about dubious collegiate departments abound, including the notable scene in which Wagstaff leads his colleagues in the nonsensical tune, “Whatever it is, I’m against it!”

‘Animal House’ (1978) Will the talented, clean-cut, infuriatingly snobbish fraternity pull a gloating win over the group of raucous tricksters at Faber College? This question drives the plot of this crass but entertaining movie. Replete with a now-famous cast, including John Belushi, Thomas Hulce and Donald Sutherland, Animal House provides a laugh-out-loud picture of a fundriven freshman year. Though toga parties abound and the alcohol flows freely, the film also offers clear insights regarding the American fraternity system.

‘Rudy’ (1993) Lauren Trujillo, Fort Lewis College “The best part is all the different people I have met. The worst part is 8 a.m. classes in negative-degree weather.”

Ian Belzer, Fort Lewis College “The greatest part is the opportunity for adventure in Durango [Colo.]. My least favorite part was no home-cooked meals.”

Cory Patterson, Fort Lewis College “The best was starting a taekwon do club. The worst was having to get a job.”

Rylee Houston, Fort Lewis College “The best part was knowing I could do whatever I put my mind to. The worst part was late nights writing papers.”

Ariadne Ellsworth, Brown University “The best thing about my first semester was the people I met, friends I made and the endless opportunities. And to be honest, I can’t think of the worst thing — there wasn’t one.”

CoMpIlED BY CHARINE GoNZAlES AND ElIZA HARRISoN/GENERATIoN NExT

Griffin Merians, Claremont McKenna College “The best thing about my experience is my immersion into a community of intelligent, dedicated, funloving, diverse, interesting and inspiring individuals. The worst thing is the absence of chile, red or green.”

Anna Carter, Johns Hopkins University “The best thing about my first semester of college was learning to be an independent person. The worst thing about my first semester of college was the realization that I spend more time working than I spend doing all of my other activities combined [including sleeping].”

MY VIEW

Experience life through a gap year By Kyle McMichael Generation Next

s the tassels turn and the graduation caps fly into the air, a level of uncertainty might loom in every graduate’s head regarding what the future may bring. Regardless of whether you choose to continue your education by attending college or going directly into the workforce, the years following high school graduation mark a time in which many of the decisions you make will impact the rest of your life — for better or worse. Santa Fe High School graduated me in May of 2013. Once I got accepted into Colorado College, I was at first ready to unleash my potential in another classroom. It wasn’t until some time later that I realized I could get a whole lot more out of my college experience if I could first better myself in ways other than academics by undergoing experiences I could bring with me to college. College isn’t all about academics — it’s about creating your future. Realizing the importance of this, I figured

I’d amp up my entire package I’m immersing myself in experiences outside the classroom. Though I was accepted at Colorado College immediately — for the class of 2017 — college officials graciously granted my request to take a gap year as a member of the 2018 graduation class. With an entire year to grow as a person, what better way to spend that time than by doing things that I truly love to do? The past five months have been among the best in my life. I had the opportunity to travel around the West Coast and to South America. I skied in some of the greatest terrain in the country without having to write a paper for Advanced Placement English literature class at the end of the day. I also found time to work at La Casa Sena and Thunderbird Bar and Grill, saving money and immersing myself in a work environment with a number of people who either loved what they were doing or had no other choice — which in itself was an invaluable experience. I got to meet and reconnect with some truly amazing people. I had the chance to just “live.”

In mid-February, I leave for Lander, Wyo., to embark on a Wilderness Medicine and Rescue course with the National Outdoor Leadership School — a course that will teach me survival techniques that I can use every single day of my life — even in the classrooms of Colorado College. Along with what this course will teach me, I will be immersed in the wilderness for two months — something I’ve dreamt about since I was a kid. Though it may seem obvious, taking a break after going to school for 12 years will clear your head a bit, which in turn may help you make some smart decisions regarding your future. It also buys you extra time to mature before you go to college. So for all you high school seniors, here’s my advice: Cherish the moment and tread lightly as you choose what you want to do for the next few years. There really is no need to rush through the most important years of your life. Kyle McMichael will be a freshman at Colorado College in the fall of 2014. Contact him at kylemcmichael95@gmail.com.

Daniel Eugene “Rudy” Reuttiger (Sean Astin) has dreamed of playing football at University of Notre Dame his whole life, but he lacks the money, grades and stature to do so. Fueled by his incredible determination, he enrolls at a nearby junior college and works for free for the wise Notre Dame groundskeeper (Charles S. Dutton). Though Rudy experiences setbacks — including his dyslexia and an obvious dearth of athletic talent — he applies again and again to the school and the team, finally earning his place through back-breaking work and perseverance. The film delivers a heart-warming message that dedication and love are more important than anything else when it comes to achieving goals.

‘Good Will Hunting’ (1997) This critically-acclaimed film stars Matt Damon as Will Hunting, a college-age South Boston janitor who also is an unrecognized mathematical genius. Through his troubled past restricts his potential for success, a renowned professor (Stellan Skarsgård) convinces Will to study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and see an unusual psychologist (Robin Williams). With their help, as well as his relationship with his new girlfriend (Minnie Driver) and the words of his best friend (Ben Affleck), Will comes to see the world and himself through entirely new eyes. The movie remains a genuinely complex and moving story that reveals many truths about humanity. Damon and Affleck co-wrote the screenplay.

‘Mona Lisa Smile’ (2003) When free-thinking feminist Katherine Anne Watson (Julia Roberts) arrives at Wellesley College to teach art history in 1953, her conservative superiors are shocked by her radical views. Though she meets resistance from both colleagues and students, Katherine uses her lessons to show that women should be allowed to follow their dreams and that marriage should not be their only goal. In turn, she is forced to re-evaluate her own fixed opinions on art and feminism through the questions of her sharp-minded students. The film stresses how the college experience can open both students and teachers to new ideas.
