Records detail low rents for city cops By Chris Quintana The New Mexican
At least three city employees paying bargain-basement rent to live on city property are high-ranking police officers who earn more than $60,000 a year, according to documents released Tuesday. The New Mexican received the documents as a part of a request under the Inspection of Public Records Act after publishing a report about Deputy Chief John Schaerfl, whose manufactured home sits on a plot at Ashbaugh Park, near Second Street and Cerrillos Road. Schaerfl, who makes $99,000 a year, initially said he pays about $50 a month to live at the park, where he pays his own utility costs and is expected to provide public safety services. City officials also confirmed that amount. The documents released Tuesday, however, indicate Schaerfl pays just $20 a month to live at the park, under his agreement with the city. Schaerfl told a reporter in a previous interview that he has been living at the site since 2002. Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales said last week that it may be time to re-examine a policy that allows

Taxpayers on hook to fix sinking Railyard building
Poll: AG King is top threat to Martinez Group says governor has lead, would likely win if election were held today By Steve Terrell
The New Mexican
are no longer flush with the foundation, forcing business owners to install temporary ramps to prevent people from tripping and to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “Subsidence is evident on all four sides of the building,” city documents state. “Subsidence is a big deal. It’s caving in on itself,” City Councilor Patti Bushee said Monday after the city’s Railyard projects administrator, Robert Siqueiros, requested nearly $69,000 for an engineering study.
Attorney General Gary King would be the strongest contender against incumbent Gov. Susana Martinez, and she remains slightly ahead in the governor’s race if the election were held today, according to a poll released Tuesday by Public Policy Polling. According to the first national poll for New Mexico races made public this year, U.S. Sen. Tom Udall and Martinez would handily win in their respective races for re-election. But some Democrats say the poll shows Martinez is vulnerable. And despite the decent numbers for the governor, the state GOP denounced the poll as “skewed” with “cooked numbers.” A news release from the party pointed out that the sample of voters surveyed in the recent poll was only 28 percent Republican. Statewide registration numbers as of Jan. 31 show 31 percent of New Mexico voters are Republican, while 47 percent are Democrats. PPP is a North Carolina-based Democrat-affiliated company. The poll shows Martinez beating Attorney General Gary King 47 percent to 42 percent. She leads all the other Democratic candidates by double digits. Udall, a Democrat seeking his second six-year term in the Senate, leads both GOP candidates Allen Weh and David Clement by 20 points or better. Both Martinez and Udall have approval ratings of more than 50 percent. The poll shows Martinez getting 80 percent approval from Republicans, 51 percent from independents and 30 percent from Democrats in New Mexico. Potentially troubling for King is the fact that only 29 percent give him a favorable rating, while 35 percent said

Correcting Market Station subsidence issues could cost as much as $400,000 By Daniel J. Chacón
The New Mexican
T
wo years ago, the city of Santa Fe paid $3.6 million to buy part of a Railyard building to avoid a lawsuit with the developer. Now that building at 500 Market St. is sinking into the ground, and because of a settlement that the city struck with the developer, taxpayers will be on the hook to fix it at a cost of up to $400,000. Evidence of the damage is visible all around the building. The sidewalks have sunk a few inches into the ground and
Santa Feans join APD protest By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican
A group of Santa Fe residents joined a Tuesday protest against Albuquerque police officers who fatally shot a mentally ill homeless man during a confrontation March 16. After video of the incident from an officer’s helmet camera was released over the weekend, Albuquerque groups, Santa Fe residents and state senators spoke against the shooting, saying that police needed more training. The protest, which started in downtown Albuquerque and ended with a march to the Albuquerque Police

About 10 Santa Fe residents carpooled to the demonstration after decorating their cars with black streamers and tape that spelled out messages like “RIP James Boyd,” referring to the 38-year-old who was shot. Others wrote on their windows “APD Another Person Dead” — a reference to Albuquerque Police Department’s acronym. The demonstrators drove with their lights on for the funeral-style caravan to the

More time given to enroll on federal health marketplace
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has decided to give extra time to Americans who say that they are unable to enroll in health-care plans through the federal insurance marketplace by the March 31 deadline. Federal officials confirmed Tuesday evening that all consumers who have begun to apply for coverage on HealthCare.gov, but who do not finish by Monday, will have until about mid-April to ask for an extension. Under the new rules, people will be able to qualify for an extension by checking a blue box on HealthCare.gov to indicate that they tried to enroll before the deadline. This method will rely on an honor system; the government will not try to determine whether the person is telling the truth. The change, which the administration is scheduled to announce Wednesday, is supported by consumer advocates who want as many people as possible to gain insurance under the 2010 Affordable Care Act.

A new way to trade athletes
Fantex Inc. plans to operate an exchange and offer an IPO to trade star athletes By Michael Liedtke The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO rofessional athletes frequently get traded to other teams, but San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis is about to be the first ever to be traded like a stock. Davis, an eight-year veteran of the National Football League, is serving as the litmus test for a risky concept: Whether sports stars should be treated like public companies, whose moneymaking potential can be bought and sold on an exchange by ordinary investors. San Francisco-based Fantex Inc. plans to operate the exchange and will orchestrate Davis’ initial public offering of stock after getting regulatory approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deal requires Fantex to pay Davis $4 million in exchange for 10 percent of his future earnings, including some of his offfield income. To cover Davis’ fee, Fantex seeks to sell 421,100 shares of stock a $10 apiece. The company hopes to complete the initial public offering in the next few weeks. Davis, 30, will need to make more than $40 million just to deliver a small return on Fantex’s investment in him. Fantex is counting on him to earn most of that money after his current contract with the 49ers expires in 2015. By then, Davis will be at an age when it might be difficult for him to land another big payday, although there are precedents for it. That means the deal could prove to be more profitable for Davis than the investors who buy the Fantex stock tracking his performance. IPO expert Francis Gaskins is advising investors to stay on the sidelines. Fantex’s
P
concept “just sounds like something that P.T. Barnum would try to sell,” says Gaskins, president of IPOdesktop.com. “I don’t think it’s going to work out.” Fantex CEO Buck French has been trying to overcome skepticism while traveling around the country for pre-IPO meetings that began in early February. The journey included traveling to 12 cities in two weeks last month on an old bus that retired NFL announcer John Madden used to ride to get to his broadcasting assignments. “We are successful businessman and we are putting together a transaction we believe in,” French says. Fantex will cover its expenses by taking a small cut of the revenue generated by Davis. Investors who own the Davis tracking stock could profit from a combination of the player’s earnings and gains in the value of their shares. The income will come from Davis’ career football earnings dating back to last October, as well as any money he makes from off-the-field endorsements or other jobs, such as sports broadcasting, that he gets during the rest of his life. The deal only covers earnings tied to his success as an athlete. If Davis decides to do something like sell insurance after his playing days are over, Fantex won’t receive any of that money. His income from his holdings in a Jamba Juice franchise and a San Jose, Calif., art gallery is already excluded. The Fantex IPO is part of “a land rush to see who can come up with the next clever concept to bring fans closer to the game,” says veteran sports agent Leigh Steinberg, who has represented hundreds of NFL players during his career. “It’s a manifestation of the different ancillary revenue flows that players, speculators and investors can engage in, all of which is created by the love of sports.” No U.S. sport is more popular than the NFL, which has seen its annual revenue soar from $4 billion to about $10 billion during the past 14 years.

Ukrainian troops withdraw from Russian-controlled Crimea FEODOSIA, Crimea — As former comrades saluted them from outside a base overrun by Russian forces, Ukrainian marines in Crimea piled into buses Tuesday to head back to the mainland. It was a low-key exit from this eastern Black Sea port, with fewer than a dozen friends and relatives on hand to bid the marines farewell. A troop transporter bearing black Russian military plates trailed the bus as it pulled away. Their departure came as Ukraine’s defense minister stepped down after harsh criticism for authorities’ oftenhesitant reaction to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, which was formalized following a hastily organized referendum this month.
EPA: BP works to clean up oil spill on Lake Michigan near Chicago WHITING, Ind. — Crews for oil giant BP worked Tuesday to clean up an undetermined amount of crude oil that spilled into Lake Michigan and affected about a half-mile section of shoreline near Chicago following a malfunction at BP’s northwestern Indiana refinery, officials said. The spill reported Monday afternoon by BP appears to have been contained by company crew members who deployed absorbent booms around the spill site, said Mike Beslow, on-scene coordinator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 5. The spill is about 20 miles southeast of downtown Chicago but was not expected to pose any threat to municipal water supplies that draw on the lake’s water, Beslow said.
Facebook buys virtual reality co.

Facebook Inc. said Tuesday that the deal includes $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares worth about $1.6 billion. Oculus employees are also eligible for an additional $300 million if the company achieves certain targets. New Mexican wire services

To reach us
Commissioner Roger Goodell has set a goal of reaching $25 billion by 2027. Most of the money is coming from TV networks that are willing to pay steadily higher fees to attract large audiences that watch games live instead of on DVRs later — a major draw for advertisers. Major League Baseball, with annual revenue estimated at about $8 billion, and the National Basketball Association, with estimated annual revenue of about $5 billion, also are thriving. As the stakes in sports are rising, so is the money paid to athletes. Forbes magazine’s 2013 list of the world’s 100 top-paid professional athletes required a minimum annual income of $16 million. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, with $51 million in annual income, led the 13 NFL players who made the Forbes list. Fantex is focusing on players in a lowerincome bracket. Besides Davis, the company also has lined up IPOs tied to Houston Texans running back Arian Foster and Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel. None of them have a contract that will pay more than $6.5 million next year. Fantex hopes to eventually sign similar IPO deals with other athletes outside of football. Athletes who sign deals with Fantex get a guaranteed payment upfront and promises of help managing their personal brands for years to come. Some of the guidance may be provided by NFL Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, a director on Fantex’s holding company, and retired golf star Jack Nicklaus, who is a Fantex adviser. Davis isn’t discussing his reasons for participating in the IPO yet because of securities regulations discouraging public comments that could sway investors considering whether to buy newly issued stock. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined to comment on the IPO.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A Danish zoo that faced protests for killing a healthy giraffe to prevent inbreeding says it has put down four lions, including two cubs, to make room for a new male lion. Citing the “pride’s natural structure and behavior,” the Copenhagen Zoo said Tuesday that two old lions had been euthanized as part of a generational shift. It said the cubs also were put down because they were not old enough to fend for themselves. Zoo officials hope the new male and two females born in 2012 will form the nucleus of a new pride.

CIA: Syria militants plan strikes on the West By Eric Schmitt
The New York Times
WASHINGTON — Dozens of seasoned militant fighters, including some midlevel planners, have traveled to Syria from Pakistan in recent months in what U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials fear is an effort to lay the foundation for future strikes against Europe and the United States. “We are concerned about the use of Syrian territory by the al-Qaida organization to recruit individuals and develop the capability to be able not just to carry out attacks inside of Syria, but also to use Syria as a launching pad,” John O. Brennan, the CIA director, told a House panel recently. The extremists who concern Brennan are part of a group of Qaida operatives in Pakistan that has been severely depleted in recent years by a decade of U.S. drone strikes. New classified intelligence assessments based on information from electronic intercepts, informers and social media posts conclude that al-Qaida’s senior leadership in Pakistan, including Ayman al-Zawahri, is developing a much more systematic, long-term plan than was previously known to create specific cells in Syria that would identify, recruit and train these Westerners. The effort in Syria would signify the first time that senior Qaida leaders had set up a wing of their own outside Pakistan dedicated to conducting attacks against the West, counterterrorism officials said. It also has the potential to rejuvenate al-Qaida’s central command. The assessment by the United States, however, has some detractors among even its staunchest counterterrorism partners, which also see an increase in Pakistan-based veterans of al-Qaida among Syrian rebel groups but disagree over whether they are involved in a coordinated plan to attack the West.
More Washington state mudslide victims found Questions raised about building on landslide area By Manuel Valdes and Phuong Le The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Wash. — A scientist working for the government had warned 15 years ago about the potential for a catastrophic landslide in the community where the collapse of a rain-soaked hillside over the weekend killed at least 16 and left scores missing. Washington state officials say searchers have recovered two bodies and believe they have located another eight in the debris of a massive landslide. Snohomish County District 21 Fire Chief Travis Hots announced the fatalities Tuesday evening. The grim discoveries put the official death toll at 16, with the possibility of 24 dead once the other bodies are confirmed. Searchers had warned they were likely to find more bodies in the debris field, which covered a neighborhood of 49 structures. Authorities believe at least 25 were full-time residences. They were working off a list of 176 people unaccounted for, though some names were believed to be duplicates. With the grim developments came word of the 1999 report by geomorphologist Daniel Miller, raising questions about why residents were allowed to build homes on the hill and whether officials had taken proper precautions. “I knew it would fail catastrophically in a large-magnitude event,” though not when it would happen, said Miller, who was hired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to do the study. “I was not surprised.” Snohomish County officials and authorities in the devastated rural community of Oso said they were not aware of the study. But John Pennington, director of the county Emergency Department, said local authorities were vigilant about warning the public of landslide dangers, and homeowners “were very aware of the slide potential.” In fact, the area has long been

known as the “Hazel Landslide” because of landslides over the past half-century. The last major one before Saturday’s disaster was in 2006. “We’ve done everything we could to protect them,” Pennington said. Patricia Graesser, a spokeswoman for the Army Corps of Engineers in Seattle, said it appears that the report was intended not as a risk assessment, but as a feasibility study for ecosystem restoration. Asked whether the agency should have done anything with the information, she said: “We don’t have jurisdiction to do anything. We don’t do zoning.

That’s a local responsibility.” The Seattle Times first reported on Miller’s analysis. No landslide warnings for the area were issued immediately before the disaster, which came after weeks of heavy rain. The rushing wall of quicksand-like mud, trees and other debris flattened about two dozen homes and critically injured several people. “One of the things this tragedy should teach us is the need to get better information about geologic hazards out to the general public,” said David Montgomery, a geomorphologist and professor with the University of Washington in Seattle.

Taliban suicide bomber, gunmen kill 4 in Kabul election office attack KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban launched a brazen assault in the Afghan capital Tuesday, with a suicide bomber detonating his vehicle outside an election office on the edge of Kabul while two other gunmen stormed into the building, killing four people and trapping dozens of employees inside. Insurgents also carried out a number of attacks elsewhere across the country, killing at least 10 people, many of them members of the country’s security forces, including a woman police official in southern Helmand province. In Kabul, a candidate for a seat on a provincial council was among those killed when insurgents stormed the election office. Two election workers and a policeman were also among the dead, Kabul Police Chief Gen.
Mohammed Zahir said. The attack triggered a standoff that lasted more than four hours. Zahir said another four people were wounded, including two policemen. Inside the three-story commission office, windows and doors were blown out by the explosion and walls were riddled with bullet holes. Office equipment lay in ruins on the floor. The firefight between police and the insurgents took place on the second and third floors of the office. The trapped employees hid in the basement. Police and guards prevented the insurgents from getting to the basement. The assault was the latest in the insurgents’ violent campaign against the country’s April 5 election. The Associated Press

City spokeswoman Jodi McGinnis Porter said Tuesday night that she couldn’t provide any more information about the city policies than what was released in the documents. Other lease agreements indicate Sgt. Troy Baker lives at the Siringo Road Complex, 2651 Siringo Road, and also pays $20 a month for the space. He makes about $69,000 a year. Sgt. Brian Hildago pays $200 a month to live in a mobile home owned by the city at the “10 Million Gallon Tank,” 1048 Camino de los Montoyas. He also had to provide a $1,000 deposit, according to his contract. He makes about $64,000 a year. Another city employee, Jason Archuelta with the Public Works Department, also lives at Ashbaugh Park in his own mobile home and pays $20 a month. His pay rate could not be found on the city website Tuesday night. All the lease contracts require the employees to pay utility fees. Joe Corda, the owner of four
mobile home parks in the Santa Fe area, said the monthly lease rate for home plots ranges from $450 to $700, which wouldn’t include utilities or taxes. The city workers’ contracts say they can only live on city property as long as they are employed by the city. If one leaves his job, he has 30 days or 60 days to vacate the property, depending on his contract. The contracts mention a “program that allows city employees to rent a space” but don’t specify the program. Most of the contracts say the city receives fiscal compensation and the benefit of having a city employee on the land. Schaerfl’s contract doesn’t include this language, but he has said that he takes it upon himself to respond to situations on park property. And data from the police department indicate Schaerfl has responded to 35 calls in the area since April 2013. Schaerfl’s contract does say he is responsible for maintaining the mobile home and the premises, which the contract defines as “a portion of land large enough for a mobile home.” Three of the four contracts received by The New Mexican were signed in 2011 — Schaerfl’s was signed in 2010 — but none indicates if the employee lived on the property before signing the contract. The contracts allow for a two-year lease with the option to renew for an additional twoyears if the city chooses.

found before in New Mexico. Jensen said the recent numbers are similar to those in a PPP poll conducted in December 2011, in which party identification was 29 percent Republican and 52 percent Democrat. That poll said Democrat Martin Heinrich was leading Republican Heather Wilson in the Senate race by 7 percentage points, which ended up being not far off. In November 2012, Heinrich beat Wilson by nearly 6 percentage points. “It just surprises me when they attack a poll that says you’re winning,” Jensen said. In the general election questions, PPP interviewed 674 registered voters (as opposed to “likely” voters) between Thursday and Sunday. Polling experts have said polls of “likely” voters tend to show more Republican strength because higher percentages of Republicans tend to show up at the polls. For the primary race, the poll is based on interviews of 327 registered Democrats. The pollsters say the margin of error is 3.8 percent for the overall survey. Jensen said the margin of error in the Democratic primary is about 5.4 percent.
Hook: $70K needed for engineering study Continued from Page A-1 Siqueiros, who appeared frustrated under questioning from Bushee, stormed out of council chambers after presenting the funding request and then declined to answer any questions from a reporter. During the meeting, Siqueiros blamed the issue on the contractor who built the underground parking garage at the Railyard. The Railyard Co. LLC entered into a contract with Thos S. Byrne, Ltd., in March 2006 to construct the underground parking garage, according to city documents. Efforts to reach Byrne were unsuccessful Tuesday. In a statement to The New Mexican, the Railyard Co. said it isn’t responsible “for any issue regarding any subsidence that has occurred.” “We are encouraged that any subsidence that has occurred has not affected any North Railyard commercial traffic,” the company said. Richard Czoski, executive director of the Santa Fe Railyard Community Corp., an entity separate from the Railyard Co., said the underground parking garage extends three levels down and required a “very deep” excavation. “The area in question was backfilled by the Railyard Co., and the Railyard Co. built the parking garage under a contract with the city of Santa Fe,” he said. Czoski said the community corporation, which enters into professional services agreements where it performs work in the Railyard for the city, said the funding request will pay for a geotechnical investigation, engineering and construction plans to fix the problem. “Until that work is performed, really I don’t know why the subsidence occurred. Subsidence can happen for many different reasons. Poor compaction is one of them.

touting the PPP results is Rael’s. The new poll came just a day after Rael released the results of a self-commissioned poll that showed him gaining ground on King and in a much stronger position than PPP indicated. “Our campaign used a New Mexico-based pollster that has a proven track record for polling here, whereas the PPP poll was conducted by an outside firm without any knowledge or basis in historical voting patterns,” Rael spokeswoman Yasine Armstrong said. “Our sample was more than three times that of the PPP poll, and we believe it more accurately reflects voting distribution throughout the state.” The Rael campaign declined a reporter’s request for its full poll crosstabs. Asked Tuesday about the discrepancy between state registration figures and the number of Republicans used in the poll, PPP Director Tom Jensen said his company goes by party self-identification of people interviewed, not registration numbers. The poll found 28 percent of those contacted identified themselves as Republicans, which he said is similar to what the firm has

Water infiltration from another source, or it could be a utility that’s leaking,” he said. Siqueiros told Bushee the ground was compacted. “But the integrity of the compaction failed prior to the final paving,” Siqueiros said. “So now it will cost the taxpayers almost $70,000 to fix it?” asked Bushee, the only councilor on the council’s Public Works Committee to question Siqueiros. “That’s just for the engineering,” Siqueiros responded. When Bushee pressed for total costs to fix the problem, Siqueiros said he “could estimate somewhere between $250,000 to $400,000 — probably.” “Wow,” a stunned Bushee told Siqueiros. “This shouldn’t be on the taxpayer’s dime.”
Assistant City Attorney Judith Amer told councilors the city would have to pay the costs. Under two separate settlement agreements, including one between the city and Byrne in which the city paid Byrne $300,000 to settle a lawsuit, the city assumed liability. “Why wasn’t it brought to the council’s attention before we passed settlement agreements?” Bushee asked. “I think those issues were discussed with the council before the settlement agreements,” Amer said, adding, “I actually remember discussing this issue with the council.” “I sure don’t,” Bushee said. Other councilors also said they didn’t remember hearing about subsidence around the Market
Station building. “It doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but I don’t recall,” Councilor Bill Dimas said. Several discussions about the building occurred behind closed doors in executive session. “I purposely voted against all of it, [including] not being in executive session and not having a settlement agreement when there was no real threatened litigation,” Bushee said. The project has been an ongoing source of contention. In 2012, the City Council bought the top floor of the Market Station building for $3.6 million as part of one of the settlements. The council also voted to spend another $1.4 million to transform the interior into offices and pay for the move.

Malaysia says missing plane sent one last partial signal
Obama: Nuke deal makes the world safer
By Keith Bradsher, Edward Wong and Thomas Fuller
The New York Times
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The Malaysian authorities released new details Tuesday to buttress their conclusion that Flight 370 must have ended in a crash in the Indian Ocean. But with no physical evidence of the plane’s fate, and the search suspended for a day due to bad weather, distraught relatives and friends of passengers mounted an angry protest in Beijing, breaking through police lines and marching to the Malaysian Embassy demanding answers. Hishammuddin Hussein,

that’s what we’ve done,” Obama said. The U.S. president initiated a string of summits in 2010 aimed at preventing terrorists getting their hands on weapons-grade nuclear material. He hailed the progress made so far as a “fundamental shift in our approach to nuclear security.” Since 2010, the number of countries that have enough material to build a nuclear weapon has fallen from 39 to 25. “I’ll close by reminding everyone that one of the achievements of my first summit in 2010 was Ukraine’s decision to remove all of its highly enriched uranium from its nuclear fuel sites,” Obama said. “Had that not happened, those dangerous
nuclear materials would still be there now. And the difficult situation we’re dealing with in Ukraine today would involve yet another level of concern.” Despite the progress made so far, analysts said Tuesday’s key agreement on turning guidelines into law needs more support. Notably absent from the agreement were Russia, China, India and Pakistan. North Korea and Iran were not even invited to the Nuclear Security Summit. “We need to get the rest of the summit members to sign up to it, especially Russia, and we need to find a way to make this into permanent international law,” said Miles Pomper of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies.
Malaysia’s defense minister and acting transportation minister, said at a news conference near Kuala Lumpur that the plane appeared to have sent one more partial signal eight minutes after the last of the previously disclosed electronic “handshakes” between the plane and a satellite, which engineers have analyzed to infer the plane’s probable path after it disappeared from radar screens March 8. Hishammuddin called the newly reported signal a “partial handshake.” The last full handshake was recorded at 8:11 a.m., more than seven hours after the plane took off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
The next satellite signal from the aircraft would have been due by 9:15 a.m., but it never came. Hishammuddin’s office later released additional technical details about the way the satellite signals had been analyzed and about how those calculations had narrowed down the search area. None of this appeared to have diminished the mistrust felt by the relatives and friends of Chinese citizens who were on Flight 370, who have been bitterly critical of Malaysia’s handling of the search. A group of them protested outside the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing at midday Tuesday, demanding that officials tell them the full truth about the flight.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — President Barack Obama declared Tuesday that a security summit took “concrete steps” to prevent nuclear material falling into the hands of terrorists even though Russia and China failed to sign an agreement to beef up inspections. One of the key results emerging from the two-day summit in The Hague was that 35 countries pledged to turn international guidelines on nuclear security into national laws and open up their procedures for protecting nuclear installations to independent scrutiny. The summit also featured new reduction commitments, with Japan, Italy and Belgium agreeing to cut their stocks of highly enriched uranium and plutonium. “This was not about vague commitments, it was about taking tangible and concrete steps to secure more of the world’s nuclear material so it never falls into the hands of terrorists and

One key issue before the justices is whether profit-making corporations may assert religious beliefs under the 1993 religious freedom law or the First Amendment provision guaranteeing
Americans the right to believe and worship as they choose. The court could declare that the individuals who own the businesses have the right to object. But it still would have to decide whether the birth control requirement impinges on religious freedom, and if so, whether the government makes a persuasive case that the policy is important and has been put in place in the least objectionable way possible.

Inaccurate stories Examination of the webcam from the Jeanette Anaya shooting, available at bit.ly/1jrjQRh, shows that Officer Oliver Wilson’s story, that he was between Anaya’s car and his cruiser, is a lie. The video shows that Wilson very clearly began firing at Anaya as she pulled forward, away from him.
In my opinion, his explanation seems reason to charge him. It is troubling that the state police investigator supported Wilson’s story, indicating to me a cover-up. It is also troubling that District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco seems part of the cover-up as she directed the grand jury and determined the evidence jurors saw. It would seem appropriate for Attorney General Gary King to get to the bottom of this. Chris Mechels

Are companies entitled to religious rights?

Thank you, young feminists! Elena Wirth, I thought your article was well-written and covered a good part of what young feminists are doing (“ ‘Feminism is thriving,’ ” March 21). I hope you will continue to write about feminism. Santa Fe National Organization for Women meets at Del Charro every month, and the next meeting is 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 1. We have a website and Facebook page. We’d like to see young feminists there. Recently in Albuquerque, with our help, the Coalition for Choice defeated a proposed big blow to women’s reproductive choice. Reproductive rights are continually under attack. We fight for our rights during every legislative session. The Equal Rights Amendment has never been passed. It is time to get it passed. Yes, women do only earn 77 percent of a man’s earnings. You’d think this has changed. It hasn’t. The latest reports say Republican women are

his week, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in what is likely to be one of the most contentious cases of the year: Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores. The case consolidates two lower-court opinions on challenges to the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate, a provision requiring that large businesses include coverage for various forms of birth control in their employee health plans. But it’s about far more than birth control. The more important debate is: Can a business claim to have a conscience? The court challenges were brought by Hobby Lobby, a chain of craft stores owned by the Green family, and Conestoga Wood Specialties, a company that manufactures kitchen cabinets and is owned by the Hahn family. Both companies maintain that their owners object to contraception on religious grounds and that the contraceptive mandate interferes with the owners’ rights to religious freedom. Hobby Lobby prevailed before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, while Conestoga Wood lost before the 3rd Circuit. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear both cases to resolve the diverging legal opinions. Because 89 percent of Americans, including 82 percent of Catholics, believe that contraception is morally acceptable — and because most women of childbearing age receive health insurance through their employers — many find the prospect of circumventing the contraceptive mandate troubling. And so they are inclined to deny that a company — especially one operated for profit, rather than a religiously affiliated nonprofit such as a university or hospital — can practice religion, let alone assert rights of conscientious objection. But objections to the corporate expres-
sion of morals or religion are troublingly inconsistent. For example, Moveon.org accused Target of improperly “meddling” in politics when it contributed money to a political action committee that was supporting an anti-gay candidate for office, but it sent a massive “Thank you” card to Starbucks after the coffee company filed a Supreme Court brief arguing in favor of gay marriage. It might seem more principled to determine whether the notion of a corporate conscience makes sense in the first place. Unsurprisingly, Hobby Lobby and its counterparts seek to do just this, and they resoundingly favor a wide range of corporate constitutional rights. They’re relying on the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, arguing that the case recognized for-profit corporations’ First Amendment rights of expression and that these rights include religious as well as political expression. In fact, however, the court in Citizens United was far more circumspect. It identified the importance of speech, no matter the speaker. But it did so to protect individual citizens’ interests by allowing them to hear as much speech as possible, not to give companies full protection under the First Amendment. Nor should you expect to find compelling support for the idea of a corporate conscience elsewhere. Consider what it means to have a conscience. A being with a conscience is self-conscious — it has a sense of itself as an entity over time, harboring memories of its past and committing itself to projects, goals and values into the future. And the fact that it chooses its projects, goals and values requires additional capacities: the ability to judge its options, which requires that it know its desires and aspirations, and that it be sensitive to morality, prudence and value. A corporation does not have any-

thing near these capacities. Unfortunately, the fact that a corporation can’t have a conscience does not settle the question of whether it may oppose the contraceptive mandate, for two reasons. First, the corporation’s owners could still claim that the corporation be exempt from the contraceptive mandate as a matter of protecting their individual consciences. And second, those who oppose Hobby Lobby’s stance do so because they want to ensure that women have adequate access to reproductive health care. They would object to efforts to circumvent the contraceptive mandate whether it was a corporation or an individual business owner who sought an exemption. Stepping back, it is worth noting that this controversy has arisen because of our choices about the kind of health care system we want. Our resistance to single-payer national health care means that employers, whether corporations or individuals, stand as middlemen between employees and their coverage. (Or between women and their reproductive freedom.) There would be no need for a contraceptive mandate, and no need to entertain objections to it, if the federal government were in charge of dispensing health insurance in the first place. Living in a country where tax dollars are used for ends that some citizens disagree with may be the inevitable price of democracy. Having to offer contraception that conflicts with one’s religious beliefs, or having access to contraception turn on one’s place of employment, needn’t be.

o one can argue with the reality that a police officer’s lot in life is dangerous and stressful — from risky traffic stops, to robberies halted in progress to the continual dealing with rude and obnoxious people. Officers often see the rest of the world at its worst. That’s why it is so essential, during training, to send young cadets out with the best attitude possible. Instead, here’s what future officers could end up learning in New Mexico. Draft curriculum at the state Law Enforcement Academy would teach trainees that every citizen an officer encounters is armed and dangerous — potential “problem areas,” to use their language. For a traffic stop, the curriculum warns, “always assume that the violator and all the occupants in the vehicle are armed.” Under “assessing risk,” the trainees are cautioned to consider: “What is the nature of the offense involved?” Then in capital letters: “It does not matter. All stops are unknown threats.” Of course, there is good reason for caution. Officers die on the job — FBI statistics show more than 500 officers were slain between 2003 and 2012 in the course of doing their jobs. Still, we can’t help but agree with police training experts interviewed by reporter Uriel J. Garcia for The New Mexican’s report on the proposed curriculum. “I would be very careful to have anything in my curriculum called ‘officer survival,’ ” said one expert. Yet, in the “Survival Speach” training materials, future officers are told, when faced with a physical assault, “your response must not be fear but aggressiveness.” Language refers to officers as “modern warriors,” as if they are in a war zone rather than on the streets of New Mexico. Between fear and aggressiveness surely lies a middle ground. That notion that officers are “warriors” is a problem in modern policing, laid out in the book by Radley Balko, Rise of the Warrior Cop: the Militarization of America’s Police Forces. As an online introduction to the book explains, “police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other — an enemy.” It is difficult to reconcile the famous police motto, “serve and protect,” with the notion that citizens are enemies. Looking to Albuquerque — where the Albuquerque Police Department is involved in yet another police shooting of a civilian — it is possible to see where such paranoid thinking might take officers. Threats must be taken down, even if that “threat” is a homeless man who was clearly not a danger at the time officers shot him. The helmet camera video taken of the shooting is chilling, and is racking up tens of thousands of YouTube views. Clearly, despite what Albuquerque’s brand-new police chief said — that James Boyd was a threat — the video does not appear to justify the shooting on March 16. Albuquerque police officers have been involved in 22 fatal shootings of civilians between 2010 and 2013, making Boyd just the latest fatality. Albuquerque is an extreme example of what is happening in other places around the country. Rather than citizens trusting their officers, and rather than officers being on guard but working with citizens and the community, police forces across the country are moving to adversarial relationships with those they serve. It is not too late for New Mexico to step off that path. This proposed curriculum should not be adopted until community outreach and policing are re-emphasized and included in training. Focusing on force as an answer needs to be rethought and the training period should revert to 22 weeks (it was cut to 16 weeks). Officers, whose lives are on the line, deserve more time to practice worse-case scenarios and to make their mistakes where they will not prove to be fatal. Citizens must speak out. The police should not resemble a military force. We do not need “warriors” on our streets. Police officers, yes. But the warrior mentality needs to stay on the battlefield, rather than infecting our neighborhoods.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 26, 1914: Willard, N.M. — The business men of Willard are showing great interest in the business of building better highways through this section. On March 19, Willard had a Good Roads Day, when large numbers of people turned out to work the roads. The business houses closed and a noonday lunch was served to the workers. G.

LOS ANGELES — Crash investigators have determined that the Porsche carrying Fast & Furious star Paul Walker was traveling up to 94 mph when it went out of control on a California street, killing the actor and his friend. According to a crash reconstruction report released Tuesday, it was unsafe speed — not mechanical problems — that caused the Nov. 30, 2013, crash. Investigators believe Roger Rodas was driving his 2005 Porsche Carrera GT between 81 mph and 94 mph.

chise in movie history.” Wahlberg was joined on stage by his co-stars and CinemaCon Rising Stars award recipients Nicola Peltz, who plays his daughter, Tessa Yeager, and Jack Reynor, who portrays Tessa’s boyfriend, Shane. But the surprise guest was Wahlberg’s 10-year-old daughter, Ella, who is not in the film, but accompanied her dad to Vegas. “This is [Ella’s] first time in Vegas and hopefully her last,” Wahlberg said. The actor flexes his protective daddy disposition in the upcoming action film as well. His Cade comically nags daughter Tessa about her tiny shorts and the boyfriend he didn’t know she had, offering a glimpse into the humor of the new film. Though Bay was expected to attend CinemaCon to also plug Age of Extinction, Wahlberg says the filmmaker was confined to the edit bay to finalize the film’s special effects. Or could he have been afraid of another teleprompter mishap? “He wanted me to make sure that you all understand that the effects are temp,” added Wahlberg of the extended preview shown to the industry crowd. Unfinished or not, the impressive footage, including bigger, more powerful robots, sharper battle scenes and a fresh crop of good-looking movie stars, could be just the thing to drive home Wahlberg’s No. 1 film prediction and cap Bay’s massively successful series, which together have grossed over $2.6 billion. Transformers: Age of Extinction is due June 27.
Fox’s ‘American Idol’ hits rating low NEW YORK — A recent time slot switch hasn’t paid dividends for Fox’s lurching American Idol.

Wednesday’s show had 9.8 million viewers.
CBS won the week in prime time, averaging 8 million viewers. ABC had 6.4 million viewers, NBC had 6.3 million, and Fox had 4.3 million With the help of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, TBS was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 2.52 million in prime time, followed by TNT’s 2.47 million.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. ark Wahlberg, star of the upcoming Transformers: Age of Extinction, is promising the fourth installment of the Michael Bay-directed franchise will be a huge hit. “For moviegoers all over the world, I guarantee this will take it up a notch,” Wahlberg said at the annual movie-theater convention CinemaCon. Paramount Vice Chairman Rob Moore said Bay was hesitant to return to the franchise until they were able to zero in on the right story and cast that would capture his imagination. “Michael promised me it would be a very different, stand-alone movie, which it absolutely is,” said Wahlberg. “It is bigger and better than the other three [films] combined. This will be the biggest movie of 2014.” In the action film, Wahlberg, who reteams with Bay after last year’s Pain and Gain, plays Cade Yeager, an automobile mechanic who discovers a rundown truck, which is really a transformer. Soon, he’s the target of Autobots, Decepticons and the government. With a series of Transformers films, which featured a consistent cast including Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson, Wahlberg admitted he’s feeling the pressure of stepping into the shoes of the other actors. But he says he “had to jump at the opportunity because I really feel like it is probably the most iconic fran-

Leader of nuke board blasts WIPP safety efforts Report says truck fire preventable, workers not prepared for emergency By Jeri Clausing
The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — The recent truck fire and radiation release from the government’s troubled nuclear waste dump in southeastern New Mexico were “near misses” at a facility whose
workers proved unprepared to respond to the emergencies, the head of an independent oversight agency said. Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board Chairman Peter Winokur also said the Feb. 5 underground truck fire at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant was preventable, and that the initial response to a radiation release that contaminated 17 employees working above ground nine days later was unsatisfactory. “As a result, the internal contamina-
tion level of workers, although minor, was nevertheless greater than necessary,” Winokur wrote Friday in response to a query from New Mexico Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich. “The local WIPP Emergency Operations Center was ineffective, and the DOE [Department of Energy] emergency center at headquarters in Washington, D.C., was never notified, as would have been appropriate.” Winokur’s letter was the second critical assessment of the plant’s
operations, safety procedures and emergency response to the back-toback incidents. A series of shortcomings were cited two weeks ago by a team that investigated the truck fire. Officials have yet to get underground to figure out what caused the radiation release. Udall and Heinrich requested the assessment from Winokur, who is head of the independent federal agency charged with overseeing public health and safety issues at the

Department of Energy’s defenserelated nuclear facilities. Much of the letter repeated findings of the accident review team. But Winokur also noted that his agency has since 2010 sent four letters to the Department of Energy about flaws in the dump’s fire-prevention program. Incremental improvements were made, but some key issues were not adequately addressed, he said.

Volunteers, kids help state crews restock Rio Grande cutthroats By Staci Matlock The New Mexican
F
ifth- and sixth-grade students from the Red River Valley Charter School in the village of Red River were among 70 volunteers who hiked into the Rio Grande Gorge this week, carrying plastic bags filled with tiny Rio Grande cutthroat fingerlings to stock in the river. They were helping the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, which stocks thousands of the native cutthroat trout each year, trying to reverse damage to the species caused by the agency decades ago, when it introduced non-native brown and rainbow trout into the state’s rivers for sport fishing. The hatchery-raised cutthroat trout released this week are descendants of the now endangered wild state fish. The fingerlings that survive the shocking transition to cold river water and the ravages of hungry brown trout and northern pike will be more fish for anglers to catch. With luck, they’ll eventually help rebuild the river’s population. Since at least 2008, Game and Fish crews and volunteers have made the annual excursion into the gorge to release Rio Grande cutthroat trout raised at the Seven Springs Hatchery, said Jason Blakely, cold water fisheries biologist. Last year, only 10 people
Santa Fe Public Schools is reporting some early success in its efforts to keep students from dropping out. The district announced that last year, its dropout rate decreased from 6 percent to 2.8 percent, the lowest in the past decade. The dropout rate measures the percentage of students in grades 7-12 who leave school each year. It does not include students who have transferred to private schools or those who informed the district they were moving to another district, state or country. Statewide, the dropout rate for 2012-13 was 4.7 percent. The dropout rate is not directly related to the graduation rate, which measures the percentage of students who graduate from high school in four years and earn a regular diploma. New Mexico’s graduation rate is just over 70 percent, according to figures released earlier this year. Santa Fe schools were below the state average, with a 64.2 percent graduation rate at Capital High School and 62.6 percent at Santa Fe High. Superintendent Joel Boyd credited the decrease in the dropout rate last year to some new initiatives and the combined work of teachers, principals, parents and community members to keep kids in school. Among the new initiatives is a provision that high school leaders directly communicate with truant students and those who plan to drop out. Capital High Principal Channell Wilson-Segura

showed up to help. This year, “it went awesome,” said Blakely, who’s been with the department since last summer. At the bottom of Chiflo Trail, fifth-grader Samantha Henderson gently emptied a plastic bag of trout into the river.
“It was cool,” she said. Samantha said the fish were a little heavy to carry down in a backpack, and she was “shocked they were alive” by the time she reached the Rio Grande a mile down the trail.

District asks court to grant request to close schools Moriarty-Edgewood petition cites budget shortfall, student decline By Phaedra Haywood
Council mulls measure vs. PNM power plan By Staci Matlock The New Mexican
The Santa Fe City Council will consider a resolution Wednesday opposing a plan by Public Service Company of New Mexico to replace electricity from two retiring units at a coal-fired power plant with nuclear power and natural gas. The resolution also opposes PNM’s request to raise customers’ rates so it can recoup the investment it made in the two coal-fired units, which may close down at the San Juan Generating Station in the Four Corners area. The resolution sides with New Energy Economy, a Santa Fe non-
profit, in saying there are better alternatives than nuclear power and natural gas for replacing the power from the retired coal units — alternatives that would cost customers less and take less of a toll on the environment. PNM, which provides electricity to Santa Fe, and the state Environment Department proposed closing down two of four units at the San Juan station so that PNM can meet a federal requirement to reduce haze in the Four Corners region near Farmington. PNM would install new technology on the remaining coal-fired units to reduce emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency tentatively
agreed to the shutdown, but formal approval isn’t expected until later this year. In the meantime, PNM has to get approval from the state Public Regulation Commission to not only close the two units, but also to replace the electricity they produce. PNM proposed a plan that calls for 134 additional megawatts from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Phoenix, 40 megawatts of solar power and 177 megawatts from a natural gas plant. “We’re trying to balance affordability of replacement power with reliability,” said Valerie Smith, a PNM spokeswoman.
New Energy Economy, however, believes the PNM plan should more renewable energy from solar, wind and geothermal. PNM also wants to charge ratepayers to recover the $205 million in investments already made in the two San Juan units. The company said the two units slated for shutdown wouldn’t have been paid for until 2053. The resolution urges the PRC to reduce or deny PNM’s request to charge customers for those costs. Two weeks ago, the city filed to intervene in the San Juan power replacement case now before regulators. A public hearing in the case is scheduled for Aug. 19 to Aug. 29.

A school district on Santa Fe County’s southern border has filed a petition asking a District Court judge to reverse the state Public Education Department’s rejection of its request to close two schools. In documents filed March 18, the MoriartyEdgewood School District claims it followed all the proper protocols for making such a request — including holding a meeting to gather community input and taking a school board vote — but the Public Education Department and Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera rejected the application based on “improper, politically motivated, incomplete and/or inaccurate data.” The petition also alleges the state department never asked for more information or held any hearings on the issue before rejecting the application. There are five elementary schools in the district, which straddles the border between Santa Fe and Torrence counties and draws students from both counties. The district’s petition claims it is facing budget shortfalls of about $1.6 million for the 2014-15

I-25 CRASH SLOWS MORNING TRAFFIC

N
ew Mexico State Police responded early Tuesday morning to a fender-bender on southbound Interstate 25 near the St. Francis Drive exit that clogged traffic for hours and sent three people to the hospital with minor injuries. Sgt. Damyan Brown, a spokesman with the New Mexico State Police, said the crash occurred a little before 8 a.m. Tuesday. Brown said a driver of a van wasn’t paying attention when traffic slowed near the St. Francis Drive exit and rearended a sedan. Brown said that caused the sedan
to rear-end another vehicle in front of it. State police spokesman Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez said officers cleared the crash at about 10:09 a.m., and all the damaged vehicles were towed from the scene. Brown said an officer cited the van’s driver with careless driving. Gutierrez said three people were taken to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. It wasn’t immediately clear if those taken to the hospital were the drivers of the vehicles or passengers. The New Mexican
Children, mom unearth likely prehistoric remains in Arizona By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Human remains found last year near Colorado City, Ariz., could be those of an American Indian man from at least 1,800 years ago, representing an uncommon find, authorities said. Children hiking with their mother in the hills outside Colorado City near the Arizona-Utah border discovered the remains last November. Deputies from the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office responded and sent the remains to a medical examiner. From there, they went to Amy Kelly-McLaughlin, a Flagstaff anthropologist who told authorities the remains appear to be those of a prehistoric man. She knew immediately that the remains were prehistoric, based on the uniform staining of the bones from soil and heavy dental wear that suggested the man ate food with a lot of grit in it, Kelly-McLaughlin said.
“In my experience, it’s not wildly uncommon. But it doesn’t happen every day,” she said Tuesday. Kelly-McLaughlin said she will begin calling tribes that have links to the area to see if any of them have a legal interest in the remains and would like them repatriated. One of the closest tribes is the Kaibab Paiute, which has a nearly 121,000-acre reservation on the Arizona Strip, about 50 miles north of the Grand Canyon. She will also reach out to the Hualapais, whose reservation borders the Grand Canyon on the south side, and possibly the Hopi and other tribes in southern Utah. The location of the remains indicates the man could have been from a nomadic tribe, she said. “They could have just been migrating around, and then somebody passed away and they were buried,” KellyMcLaughlin said. The children who found the remains first saw a leg bone
sticking out of the ground and thought that it could be from an animal, according to a Mohave County Sheriff’s Office report. As they dug, they found a human skull. The remains and a broken funerary object made of stone were found about a mile off a dirt access road. Kelly-McLaughlin said she hears about prehistoric remains being discovered in areas not associated with burial sites about once every year. Last June, construction on part of a road leading to the Grand Canyon Skywalk was halted when a small pile of bones was found near the road’s edge. The remains were determined to be prehistoric, U.S. Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman Deborah Stevens said Tuesday. Federal officials worked with the Hualapai Tribe to rebury the remains in July. The area had been used for thousands of years by American Indians for farming, hunting, ceremonies and other activities.

A woman who crashed into two other vehicles while driving drunk on Interstate 25 last year was sentenced Monday to 90 days in jail and five years of probation. Leela Perez, 28, had a blood alcohol content of 0.20, more than twice the legal threshold for for driving, when she collided with the two vehicles March 4, 2013, while heading south in a northbound lane of I-25 between Eldorado and Santa Fe. One vehicle she hit was carrying a pregnant woman whose baby had to be delivered in an emergency cesarean section after the crash. Perez, a Santa Fe Preparatory School graduate, was charged with three third-degree felony counts of great bodily injury by vehicle in the case: two counts for injuries sustained by the pregnant woman and her newborn son and the third for injuries to Louana Abreau of Las Vegas, N.M., who was driving the third vehicle involved in the crash. Perez also was charged
with aggravated DWI. Perez, who was represented by Santa Fe attorney Dan Cron, pleaded guilty Monday to the Leela Perez three counts of great bodily injury — which exposed her to a possible nine years in jail. District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer sentenced her to just five years of probation, however, and ordered her to wear a GPS monitoring bracelet for three years. Perez received a conditional discharge on those charges, meaning if she successfully completes her probation, her record will indicate the charges were dismissed and she will not have to report to potential employers or others that she is a convicted felon. If she does violate the terms of her probation, she could be exposed to spending all or part of the nine years in jail. Even if she successfully completes her probation, the
charges will remain on her record and can be used in the future to build a case against her as a habitual offender. Prosecutor Jason Lidyard said Perez also was convicted on the aggravated DWI charge and sentenced to serve 90 days in jail for that offense, a misdemeanor she will not be able discharge. Tara Tull and Maximino Ortega — the Raton couple whose son Felix Ortega was delivered two months early after the crash — filed a civil suit in January in Santa Fe’s First Judicial District against Perez, her parents and her two insurance companies on behalf of their son. Recent documents in that case indicate Perez’s two insurance carriers have offered to pay the couple $150,000 to settle their claim, according to court documents. The parents have asked the court to approve the settlement, but a court representative has been appointed to review the settlement because it involves a minor.

Schools: State says no to request Continued from Page B-1 school year, and that closing Mountain View Elementary School and Edgewood Elementary School would be a more efficient use of resources. It also states that the schools soon might not have enough students to justify keeping them open. Department spokesman Larry Behrens said the agency had not yet seen the documents but provided the following written statement: “The Deputy for Finance did meet with the Superintendent and President of the school board to discuss the issue where we conveyed our willingness to work together to re-submit a proposal. Unfortunately, the district has instead chosen litigation at the expense of students and taxpayers.” Behrens also provided a copy of a letter the department sent to the district explaining its reasons for rejecting the proposal. It says the district hasn’t explained the educational benefits of closing schools. It also cited concern about the “apparent lack of community involvement.” The district’s complaint claims both those issues were addressed in its proposal. The case was originally scheduled to be heard by District Judge Raymond Ortiz, but the district exercised its right to excuse him, and the case has since been assigned to Judge Sarah Singleton.
Nuke: EPA sends in air monitors Continued from Page B-1 Winokur also said that while the cause of the radiation release is not yet known, “significant improvements in the safety strategy for the dump are warranted to address design basis accidents that lead to radiation releases.” “We don’t expect anything above ground to receive any radiation contamination, none whatsoever,” Winokur said in a telephone interview Tuesday. Before the accidents, the dump operated for 15 years with a solid safety record. But critics have said the dump doesn’t value safety as much as it should. Winokur said his agency is “trying to get a sense of whether over time there has been a little less rigor in operation.” Also Tuesday, Udall and Heinrich announced that the Environmental Protection Agency was sending portable air monitors to the dump to provide independent testing of the air there and in the Carlsbad area. “EPA has made it clear that it does not believe that the radioactive releases from WIPP are a public health danger, and we fully expect these additional monitors will provide extra support to help ease any concerns that the public may have,” the senators said in a statement. The dump is the nation’s only permanent underground repository for low-level radioactive waste, including things like plutonium-contaminated gloves, tools and protective clothing, from nuclear weapons facilities. The plant near Carlsbad stopped taking all waste shipments after the underground truck fire, and all operations have been shuttered since the radiation release on Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day.
Dropout: District strives to have none Continued from Page B-1 said she now meets with these students to “make sure we are exhausting our efforts and resources before students make that determination [to drop out]. Some don’t realize how flexible we can be or what support we can provide for them so they don’t drop out.” She said these efforts have decreased the dropout rate at her school. Still, Boyd said the figure — 146 dropouts in 2012-13 — is “too high.” As part of an effort to encourage more students to earn diplomas, the school board recently approved a contract with the Florida-based private firm Atlantic Education Partners to recruit and enroll students who have dropped out. The firm will use the state’s perpupil funding to support this program. It hopes to open in the fall with 75 to 100 students, who can take as little as one course at a time. Boyd said the program is necessary because too many students are leaving the system due to work and family responsibilities, and they want different options for attaining their degrees. “Complex work requires complex solutions,” he said. According to Richard Bowman, head of the district’s accountability and assessment office, Santa Fe loses about 20 percent of its students at the end of elementary school because many transfer to either state charters or private schools. However, data for the 2012-13 school year show that 22 students did drop out of the seventh and eighth grades, he said. The highest dropout rate reported in Santa Fe in the last decade was 7.9 percent in the 2004-05 school year, state Public Education Department data show. The 2013 report that shows Santa Fe with a 2.8 percent dropout rate puts Albuquerque Public Schools at 7.2 percent, Gallup at 7.4 percent, Española at 6.3 percent, Pojoaque at 3.1 percent and Los Alamos at 0.06 percent. Nationwide, the graduation rate for the class of 2010 was 74.7 percent, according to Education Week’s Diplomas Count report published last May. While that report notes fewer students are dropping out, there are still about a million high school students in the U.S. each year who leave without a diploma. Sterling Lloyd, a senior research associate with Education Week’s Research Center, said by phone Monday that of the roughly 25 percent of U.S. students who do not graduate, “most did drop out, but we have no hard data on this. Some may have transferred, a certain percentage may have even moved to a different country, and a certain percentage may have received a non-standard diploma.” He said prior to 2008, when federal guidelines mandated that all states calculate graduation rates in the same way, some state reports were erroneous. The national graduation rate for the class of 2011, due out this spring, should provide a more accurate and more comparable measure of graduation data. Boyd said this week that the district’s five-year goal is to have a 100 percent graduation rate.

Natives: Cutthroats decimated by other trout Continued from Page B-1 Staff from the Seven Springs Hatchery hauled 6,500 Rio Grande cutthroat fingerlings to the La Junta Overlook Campground & Trail at the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Rivers Recreation Area west of Questa. Volunteers then carried down about 4,500 along the La Junta and Chiflo trails, and the rest were released into the Rio Grande downstream at the John Dunn Bridge. The state has six fish hatcheries, but Rio Grande cutthroat are only raised at the Seven Springs Hatchery, 22 miles north of Jemez Springs. The Rio Grande cutthroat trout is one of three native cutthroat trout subspecies defined by the watershed where they live. There are slight genetic differences between cutthroat trout found in the Rio Grande, Pecos River and Canadian River drainages, Blakely said. The cutthroat trout grow slower and smaller than some of the nonnative fish they compete with. In the cold mountain streams, the cutthroat grow to less than a foot in length. As adults, they sport the distinctive orange to red marking below the lower jaw. Introduction of non-native species, such as brown trout and rainbow trout, decades ago decimated the population of native cutthroats. Voracious browns ate the slower growing cutthroats, and rainbows interbred with them. The Rio Grande cutthroats are found now in only about 12 percent of their historic range in Northern New Mexico and Colorado. The surviving wild populations of pure cutthroat are high in mountain lakes and river headwaters, such as the Pecos Wilderness and the Wheeler Peak Wilderness. More than a decade ago, Game and Fish realized the native trout

was disappearing. The fish is now a candidate for the federal endangered species list. The department no longer stocks brown trout, and the rainbow trout raised at two state hatcheries are sterile females that won’t interbreed with the native cutthroats. Offspring of the wild Rio Grande cutthroats were used to launch the Seven Springs Hatchery population. “To maintain a genetically diverse and pure strain of hatchery fish, we incorporate fertilized eggs from wild populations and add them to the Seven Springs Hatchery population. Over the years, this has led to a robust hatchery brood stock that is the composite of many wild Rio Grande cutthroat populations,” said Bryan Bakevich, a Rio Grande

Council candidates wait for tiebreaker The wait for a tiebreaker in an Española City Council election continues. Two candidates who are in a dead heat after a recount were not summoned Tuesday for a coin toss or chance drawing to determine who gets the office. Phillip Chacon actually was sworn in as the District 2 council member after the initial election tally showed him winning the race over Michelle R. Martinez, 170-168. But Martinez paid the $320 fee to initiate a recount. After the recount, Martinez and Chacon each has 167 votes. A state district judge may issue subpoenas for a drawing of lots, coin toss or similar means of breaking the tie. Chacon said he will not take part in any tiebreaker, alleging the election he thought he won was marred by fraud. Martinez said she believes she won the election, but would abide by the tiebreaker.
Española man accused of trafficking cocaine The Española Police Department arrested a 24-year-old man accused of trafficking cocaine Friday morning. Detective Solomon Romero, a spokesman with the department, said Isaac Cruz was arrested Friday at 708 B Fairview Lane in Española. The New Mexico Courts online records indicate Cruz is charged with a single felony count of trafficking a controlled substance. Romero said detectives found Cruz with about 2 ounces of cocaine, with an estimated street value of $5,000. Investigators also recovered nine strips of Suboxone, a prescription drug often used to treat heroin
cutthroat trout biologist for the Game and Fish Department. Hatchery-raised cutthroats aren’t mixed with the wild populations. Keeping the two separate protects the wild populations from any possible hatchery diseases, like whirling disease, or small genetic differences. In 2013, several state and federal agencies and three New Mexico tribes signed a 10-year agreement to continue working together to protect and strengthen the Rio Grande cutthroat population. There are 82 known populations of Rio Grande cutthroat in New Mexico and 39 in southern Colorado, Bakevich said. Collaborative efforts have restored 63 miles of stream habitat and 14 acres of lake habitat for the fish.

Albuquerque boy died from ‘blunt trauma’ ALBUQUERQUE — An Albuquerque boy allegedly kicked to death by his mother last year had injuries over much of his body and died from “blunt trauma.” Details of Omaree Varela’s death were included in an autopsy report released Tuesday to the Albuquerque Journal. The boy’s mother, Synthia Varela-Casaus, has pleaded not guilty to more than 20 charges related to the boy’s death. She has been in jail on a $100,000 bond since her arrest in December. The autopsy report shows the boy suffered swelling of the brain, bruising, scrapes and severe internal bleeding. He also had burn marks on his chest and other injuries that were consistent with a history of abuse. The report also notes the state Children, Youth and Families Department had nine referrals about the family and the boy and two were substantiated.
PRC faces suit over Open Records Act A Chavez County man has filed a complaint in District Court accusing the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission of violating the Open Records Act. According to court documents, DeWayne Beagles requested records of communications between PRC commissioners and staff and members of the Tiberon Water and Sanitation District on April 26, 2011, and again May 2, 2011.
Monday was a flurry of activity as Game and Fish Department staff worked to get the tiny trout into bags of water and into backpacks before the fingerlings died from stress. Blakely instructed volunteers to let the bagged fish sit in the river for about 20 minutes before releasing them. This helps the fish adjust to the 40-degree river water, he said. Stocking native trout raises public awareness of the cutthroat and gives anglers a chance to catch them, Blakely said, adding that the department isn’t sure about the longterm survival rate of the stocked cutthroat or how far they might migrate. Some of the baby trout are sure to end up in brown trout bellies. “Browns are definitely fish-eating machines when they get going,” Blakely said. Those that survive might carry the genetic propensity of their wild ancestors to migrate long distances. “Whether these stocked ones will migrate remains to be seen,” Blakely said. “That’s where anglers come in. We know where we stock them. If anglers are catching them by the Colorado border, then we know they’re migrating up. The more information we can get from anglers about where and when they catch a cutthroat, the size and pictures, the more it will help us.” In the last few years, drought and wildfire have posed other challenges to Rio Grande cutthroat. Drought has reduced stream flow and warmed waters, which stresses the coldwater fish. Flooding and ash washing into rivers after wildfires also can choke out fish, Blakely said.

Beagles said both times he received phone calls acknowledging receipt of his request, but he never received the documents or notification that his requests had been denied. In his March 17 complaint, Beagles asks the court to compel the PRC to produce the records, pay his legal fees and award him the $100-per-day penalty allowed in the act for every day that has elapsed since May 5, 2011. PRC spokesman Arthur Bishop said in a written statement Tuesday, “Due to the age of these requests requests, the PRC must obtain assistance from the State Archives in retrieving the official documentation related to the transactions. Once the complete documentation related to these requests is received and reviewed, the agency will be better able to share such information.”
Utah OKs marijuana for limited medical use SALT LAKE CITY — Parents of Utah children with severe epilepsy are cheering a new state law that allows them to obtain a marijuana extract they say helps with seizures, but getting it involves navigating a thorny set of state and federal laws. Utah’s Republican Gov. Gary Herbert has already approved the law and held a signing ceremony for about 50 parents and children at the state Capitol on Tuesday afternoon. The new law doesn’t allow medical marijuana production in Utah but allows families meeting certain restrictions to obtain the extract from other states. Similar legislation is pending in at least one other state, and Utah advocates hope more will follow. The marijuana extract, which some believe helps with a severe form of epilepsy, is produced in nearby Colorado and is designed not to produce a high. Staff and wire reports
Power surge forces Trader Joe’s to dump food A power surge compromised freezers at Trader Joe’s grocery store on Cordova Road sometime Monday night, forcing the store to dispose of food that had been kept in the freezers, according to store captain Phil Wofford. Wofford said company policy prohibits him from saying how much food was exposed to potentially unsafe temperatures during the incident and what was done with it, but he said it was dealt with in a “variety” of ways. Wofford, who touted the store’s frequent donations to local food banks, said the store made its usual donations Tuesday, and “no food that was donated was unsafe.” Trader Joe’s corporate spokesman
Alison Mochizuki added, “There was a power surge at our Santa Fe store, which temporarily compromised the refrigeration. The situation has been rectified, and we replaced the affected product with new fresh items. We anticipate our store to be fully stocked by this Thursday, and we appreciate the community’s patience.” Susan Sponar, a spokeswoman with Public Service Company of New Mexico, said the electric provider could not find a problem in its system and it had not received any reports of outages Tuesday. “We have not seen anything in our system, so it may be something localized to that customer or that building,” she said.

Thames’ talent has SDSU in Sweet 16

SAN DIEGO — San Diego State’s journey to just its second Sweet 16 appearance began the day point guard Xavier Thames traded the wheat fields of eastern Washington for the beaches of Southern California. “I think everybody would take the beach,” said Thames, who will lead the fourth-seeded Aztecs against top-seeded Arizona in the West regional semifinals Thursday night in Anaheim. Thames started his college career at Washington State, having signed his letter of intent before coach Tony Bennett left Pullman for Virginia.

Sharleen Espinoza and Ralph Casaus didn’t have to move far to find their next jobs. Espinoza simply moved 18 inches up the volleyball bench at Los Alamos, while Casaus stayed in Santa Fe to find his next basketball job. Espinoza was hired Friday as the head coach for Los Alamos’ volleyball program, which is her first head coaching job. Meanwhile Casaus, who resigned as the head girls basketball coach at Monte del Sol after three seasons earlier this month, took over the reins of the boys basketball program at the Academy for Technology and the Classics on Friday as well. Casaus replaces Dale Lucero, who left in January to oversee the girls basketball program at Capital on an interim basis. Espinoza, a 2006 graduate of Los Alamos, was the varsity assistant for the past three seasons and coached the junior varsity in 2012. She takes over for Robin Reynolds, who resigned after one season, a 13-9 mark and a spot in the Class AAAA State Tournament. Los Alamos athletic director Vicki Nelms said Espinoza was the sole applicant for the job. While only 25, Espinoza said her experience as a player and a coach — she coached club teams at the age of 12 — helped prepare her for the job. “Coaching isn’t something that is very new to me,” Espinoza said. “Now, it is an exciting opportunity. It’s something that I wanted for a long time. I love volleyball, and I am very passionate about the sport.” Experience also extends to Espinoza’s coaching staff, which has stayed pretty much the same from the middle school program on up over the past four seasons. While she does need to hire a new JV coach, the rest of the coaches have been together since they were under Garry Maskaly, who resigned in 2013. “The familiarity will help with the transition,” Espinoza said. “It helps

Garver was one of seven Lobos taken in last year’s draft and one of eight taken since 2012. Three players taken last year — Sam Wolff, Will Mathis and Jacob McCasland — are pitchers. If Smallwood has aspirations to be a professional pitcher, he seems to have landed in a good place. He’ll get some national attention too, as the Lobos have become regulars in the NCAA Tournament. The Lobos might make it there this year, too. About halfway through the season, the team is 16-8-1 overall with a
6-3 Mountain West Conference record. On top of being outstanding baseball players, the team is also well behaved. After covering them for a year while I was at UNM, I have found that they are more humble than most other college athletes, and I have yet to see one of their mugshots on the evening news. Birmingham makes sure they do well in school and don’t screw up. Smallwood needed to look no further than UNM when making his college decision. He is in good hands with Birmingham and his coaching staff. It is also nice to know that there is a major college program in this state that prides itself on making sure local talent stays put.

STORRS, Conn. — Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis has struggled this season with injury and illness. But everything felt fine on Tuesday night. UConn’s 6-foot junior scored 20 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and had UConn 91 10 assists to lead the Huskies (36-0) to a 91-52 rout of Saint St. Joseph’s 52 Joseph’s in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It was the second triple double for UConn this year, the third in program history, and just the 14th in the history of the women’s NCAA Tournament. “I’m fine now,” said Mosqueda-Lewis, who missed 12 games this season with an elbow injury and later a bout with mononucleosis. “I struggled so much with my confidence. Now, I’m confident and I’m out there playing relaxed.” She led five players in double figures for the top-ranked Huskies (36-0), who won their 42nd straight game. Breanna Stewart added 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Bria Hartley also chipped in 20 points for the defending national champions, who are trying to win a record ninth NCAA Tournament. Erin Shields and Sarah Fairbanks each had 12 points to lead Saint Joseph’s which finished the year at 23-10. Natasha Cloud had 10 and six assists for the Hawks. UConn will face 12th-seeded BYU in Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday. The Cougars upset Nebraska in the second round, sparing the Huskies a date with the Cornhuskers on their home court. Mosqueda-Lewis connected on eight of her 14 shots, and was 3 of 5 from 3-point range. TEXAS A&M 85, JAMES MADISON 69 In College Station, Texas, Courtney Williams scored 23 points, and Karla Gilbert added 20 points with 15 rebounds to help Texas A&M to a win over James Madison. The victory sends the third-seeded Aggies to the round of 16 for the sixth time and their first since 2012. They missed reaching the third round last season after losing to Nebraska at home in this round. The Aggies used an 8-2 run to build a 10-point lead early in the second half and answered each
LOUISVILLE 83, IOWA 53 In Iowa City, Iowa, Shoni Schimmel had 26 points, seven assists and five steals to help Louisville thump host Iowa to earn their fifth trip to the Sweet Sixteen under coach Jeff Walz. Antonita Slaughter added 17 points on five 3s for the third-seeded Cardinals (32-4), who advanced to Sunday’s regional semifinal at home. Louisville jumped out to a 17-point halftime lead and stretched its edge to 47-23 just 90 seconds into the second half. The Cardinals shot 53 percent, forced 19 turnovers and led by as many as 38 points. Freshman Ally Disterhoft had 15 points for Iowa (27-9), which finished just 1 of 16 from 3-point range.

time James Madison cut the advantage. The Dukes got within seven points with about seven minutes remaining, but A&M used an 8-0 run to make it 81-66. Kirby Burkholder led 11th-seeded James Madison with 20 points and 10 rebounds. LOUISVILLE REGIONAL MARYLAND 69, TEXAS 64 In College Park, Md., Alyssa Thomas scored all 16 of her points in the second half, and Maryland squeezed past cold-shooting Texas to reach the Sweet 16. The fourth-seeded Terrapins (26-6) next face Tennessee, the No. 1 seed in the Louisville Regional. Maryland is 23-8 in the tournament
LSU 76, WEST VIRGINIA 67 In Baton Rouge, La., Danielle Ballard had 22 points and 15 rebounds, and seventh-seeded LSU overcame a late seven-point deficit, as well as foul trouble, to upset No. 2 seed West Virgina. Playing the last 12 minutes with four fouls, Shanece McKiney had 13 points, seven rebounds and five blocks, while DaShawn Harden added 12 points for LSU (21-12), which advanced to the Sweet 16 for a second straight season — both times with a second-round upset on its home court. Holding a 63-56 lead 5:05 left, West Virginia was on the verge of winning the first secondround NCAA game in program history, but LSU went on a decisive 16-2 run. Asya Bussie had 21 points and Bria Holmes 12 for West Virginia (30-5), which fell to 0-8 all time in second-round games. STANFORD REGIONAL SOUTH CAROLINA 78, OREGON STATE 69 In Seattle, Aleighsa Welch had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Tiffany Mitchell added 20 points and 10 boards, and top-seeded South Carolina used
its size and athleticism to overwhelm No. 9 seed Oregon State. A year after getting upset by a 12 seed in the second-round of the tournament, the Gamecocks are headed to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years under coach Dawn Staley. South Carolina (29-4) will face No. 4 seed North Carolina in the Stanford Region semifinals on Sunday. The Gamecocks lost to the Tar Heels 74-66 in December. Welch’s quickness around the rim flustered the Beavers. Whether she was following up misses or getting open for her own shot, Oregon State struggled to slow the junior forward. Jamie Weisner led Oregon State (24-11) with 21 point. NORTH CAROLINA 62, MICHIGAN STATE 53 In Chapel Hill, N.C., freshman Diamond DeShields had 24 points and a season-high 12 rebounds to help North Carolina beat Michigan State. Fellow rookie Allisha Gray added 10 points for the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (26-9), who led by nine at halftime then dominated the opening minutes of the second half to turn the game into a rout. North Carolina ran off 14 straight points to blow the game open, with DeShields scoring twice during that flurry to build a 57-31 lead with 11½ minutes left that allowed the Tar Heels to coast to the Stanford Regional’s round of 16. The Tar Heels pressured the fifth-seeded Spartans (23-10) and turned the game into the upand-down pace they wanted. They finished with a 17-4 edge in fast-break points and 15 points off turnovers in a huge improvement from their firstround struggles against UT Martin. PENN STATE 83, FLORIDA 61 In State College, Pa., Maggie Lucas and Dara Taylor each scored 22 points to send Penn State into the Sweet 16 with a win over Florida. The third-seeded Lady Lions (24-7) will play at No. 2 Stanford (30-3) on Sunday. Lucas, the two-time Big Ten player of the year, surpassed the 2,500 career-point milestone and led the Lady Lions to the NCAA tournament regional semifinal for the second time in three seasons. Ariel Edwards added 16 points for Penn State. The Lady Lions are in the Sweet 16 for the 13th time. Kayla Lewis led the 11th-seeeded Gators (20-13) with 20 points and nine rebounds. Jaterra Bonds scored 14.

PREP ROUNDUP
Pecos barely fends off Santa Rosa The New Mexican
The Pecos baseball team survived a close one Tuesday, which did not please its head coach. The Panthers beat Pecos 10 visiting Santa Rosa 10-9 Santa Rosa 9 in a nondistrict game. After having a 6-1 lead early, Pecos (2-2 overall) was down 7-6 in the middle of the sixth inning before a lateinning rally. “We seem to be getting the tendency to let the game dictate itself,” Pecos head coach Augustine Ruiz said. “We lay off the gas pedal and relax. That’s real concerning to me.” Joseph Vigil hit a three-run home run in the first inning for Pecos and finished the game 2-for-2 at the plate with three RBIs. Joey Leal went 2-for-4 with two runs scored while Isaac Valencia went 2-for-4 as well. For Santa Rosa, Isaac Velasquez went
3-for-4 at the plate with three runs scored while Ryan Lopez went 2-for-4 with one run scored and an RBI. Arthur Archuleta started on the mound for Pecos and pitched five innings and gave up five runs and four hits, but Joseph Vigil got the win after pitching two innings and allowed six hits and four earned runs. SOFTBALL POjOaque Valley 13, SanTa Fe IndIan SchOOl 1 (FIVe InnIngS) POjOaque Valley 17, SanTa Fe IndIan SchOOl 5 The Elkettes won two easy ones on the road in the team’s first Class AAA competition in a nondistrict doubleheader. In the first game, Pojoaque’s Angelica Romero pitched a complete game and allowed six hits while going 2-for-3 at the plate with an in-the-park home run. Abrianna Gipson went 3-for-4 in the second game with two triples, seven RBIs and an inside-the-park home run for the
Elkettes (3-4). “We were pretty focused,” Pojoaque head coach Ricky DeHerrera said. “We hit the ball well and set the tone.” SFIS moves to 2-3 on the season and fell victim to the 10-run mercy rule in the first game. alBuqueRque ST. PIuS X 12, lOS alamOS 9 The Lady Hilltoppers did everything they could to overcome an 11-3 fourth-inning deficit to the Lady Sartans in a nondistrict game at Overlook Park, but their efforts fell short. Los Alamos (3-5) gave up six runs in the fourth inning, but trailed 12-6 to start the seventh. The Lady Hilltoppers scored three runs in the final inning. “I’m pleased with the effort the girls had,” Los Alamos head coach Roger Anaya said. “We have a young team and St. Pius is always tough to beat. It was a good test for us.” The Lady Hilltoppers gave up two home runs and had four errors.

Thames: Leads Aztecs in points, assists Continued from Page B-4 best player on the perimeter on the other team, great help defender, all of that. “But now when he’s scoring the ball the way he has in some of these games, he’s as good as any guard in the country.” Thames leads the Aztecs with 17.4 points and 3.3 assists per game. In the last five games, he has 26 assists and only seven turnovers. Aside from a three-game slump midway through the Mountain West Conference season, Thames has had a great season. He was voted the conference player of the year and to a spot on the all-defensive team. He’s stepped up in big moments, including in wins at Kansas and against Creighton and Marquette as the Aztecs won the Wooden Legacy tournament in Anaheim. “That’s what you’re supposed to do,” said Fisher, who has the Aztecs in the NCAA Tournament for a school-record fifth straight season. “Everybody aspires to do it. Talking about it and doing it are sometimes two different things. Xavier has that quiet confidence, and he’s not going to say, ‘Me, me, me, me, me,’ and pound his chest. The most outside exemplifications of his energy are he’ll occasionally put three fingers up if he makes one. But he’s not trying to draw attention to himself with theatrics.” His teammates would hate to think about where the Aztecs would be — or rather, wouldn’t be — without Thames. “I couldn’t imagine,” forward Dwayne Polee II said. “X is such a great player and great teammate and great friend.

We’re blessed to have X on this team.” Forward Winston Shepard, SDSU’s second-leading scorer, agrees.
“I’m not sure. I don’t know,” Shepard said. “He’s big-time, man. He’s been a great player for us all season and he makes good plays in the clutch.”
Shepard gave only a glimpse of what Thames is like off the court. “He’s very funny. He’s a jokester,” Shepard said. The Aztecs know that they’ll have to get scoring help from someone other than Thames and Polee to get past the Wildcats. Shepard has been held to single digits three times in four games. Still, Thames doesn’t feel like he has to carry the Aztecs. “No, not at all,” he said. “Whatever coach needs me to do or my teammates need me to do, I’ll do it. For me putting the weight on my shoulders, I don’t think so. Basketball is a team game and without my teammates, I wouldn’t be playing how I’ve been playing lately.” Fisher said Thames is “playing with wonderful confidence. Our players have confidence in him. They know we want him to have the ball in situations, and he’s making good decisions. Whether it’s shoot it, pass it, how to probe and that kind of stuff.” Thames redshirted when the Aztecs reached the regional semifinals three years ago before losing to eventual national champion UConn. They’ve drawn a tough opponent in Arizona, which beat SDSU by one point in a tournament in Hawaii last season and by nine points in San Diego in the second game this season. Upsetting the Wildcats for SDSU’s first-ever Sweet 16 victory would “mean a lot just for everybody around here and the program,” Thames said. “We’re going to go out there and give it our all.”
Wilson: Called ‘conscience’ of the league Continued from Page B-4 woman for the Wayne County medical examiner’s office. He had been receiving home hospice care. Wilson had been in failing health since having hip surgery in 2011. Though he spent much of his time at his home in suburban Detroit, he attended Hall of Fame induction weekends. He was a regular at Bills home games since founding the franchise, but had not been there since going to one game in 2010. Wilson gave up daily oversight of the club on Jan. 1, 2013, when he relinquished the president’s title to Brandon. “No one loves this game more than Ralph Wilson,” Brandon said. “It’s very tough. What he’s’ meant to the entire organization. He’s our leader, our mentor our friend. How he loves his players and loved our community. Special guy. They just don’t make them like Ralph Wilson.” Wilson earned a well-established reputation for loyalty to fans and the stands he took against franchise relocation. Though he butted heads several times with late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, it did not affect their friendship. As Davis said in 2009: “There were a lot of guys saying [Steelers owner Dan] Rooney was the conscience. But certainly, Mr. Wilson was more of a conscience of the league.” Wilson also earned the respect of his players. Bills Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas struggled with his emotions when discussing Wilson. “With Mr. Wilson’s passing today, it

hurts,” Thomas said. “So I’m going to miss him, without a doubt. He used to call me his favorite son.” Wilson’s Bills have never won a Super Bowl. They came close in the early 1990s, when the Levy-coached and Jim Kellyquarterbacked teams won four consecutive AFC championships, but lost each time. The Bills have not made the playoffs since 1999 and their 14-year postseason drought ranks as the NFL’s longest active streak. Running back Fred Jackson said Wilson’s death provides the team new focus to end that drought. “We want to continue to cement his legacy,” Jackson said. “We want to honor him,
and a great way to honor him is going out and winning a lot of football games.” Wilson never lost his sense of humor. In 2010, with the Bills 0-5, Wilson began an interview with The Associated Press with an apology. “I want to apologize for this phone system,” Wilson said, with a familiar chuckle. “It’s almost as bad as my team.” The future of the team is now in the hands of Brandon and Wilson’s second-incommand, Bills treasurer Jeffrey Littmann. For the meantime, the Bills are expected to be placed in a trust before eventually being sold. Wilson expressed no interest of leaving the team to his family. He is survived by wife Mary, daughters Christy WilsonHofmann, who serves as a Bills consultant, and Edith Wilson. There’s also niece Mary Owen, who serves on several NFL committees while working as the team’s executive vice president of strategic planning. Kelly has expressed interest in buying the franchise and has previously said he’s assembled a group of investors. Kelly’s health, however, has become an issue this week. He is expected to have surgery for a second time in a year following the recurrence of cancer that his wife described as aggressive and “starting to spread.” Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula is also considered a candidate to purchase the Bills and keep them in Buffalo. That doesn’t remove the possibility of outside interests making offers and relocating the team to larger markets such as Los Angeles or nearby Toronto.

coaches: Casaus led Dragons to state Continued from Page B-4 the girls a lot knowing they have to get used to a whole new coaching staff and a whole new style. I am pretty committed to keeping a good learning environment.” That environment helped the Lady Hilltoppers win five straight District 2AAAA from 2008-2012 and made them one of the top teams in AAAA. Casaus hopes he can duplicate that kind of success at ATC, which started a boys basketball program two years ago but will become a full-fledged member of District 2AAA next season. Casaus, who coached the boys program at Monte del Sol from 2004-2008 and led it to its only AA state tournament appearance in 2008, said he was excited to coach boys again. However, coaching girls helped him better develop one quality. “I think I learned a lot more patience,” Casaus said. “That is going to help a lot. I was also fortunate to have some boys and girls who had a lot of experience and talent. That always helps a coach — if they have talent. I thought we did pretty well with the boys and girls with the talent we had.” This time, he will develop a program from its infancy. One thing in his favor is that ATC loses only one senior from a 7-12 season. “I have talked to other people and I looked at their roster,” Casaus said. “I’ve heard a lot of good things from the kids who will be there.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Mom shouldn’t hurry relationship
Dear Annie: I am a young single mom. The father and I are not together. I am lonely at times without a man in my life, but I don’t know how to approach men and have no idea how to bring up the fact that I have a son. I promised myself that I would not bring a guy into my son’s life until I’ve been seeing him for at least a year and the relationship is serious. In the meantime, I feel awkward about the situation and don’t know how to behave. Any suggestions? — S. Dear S.: You are smart not to bring random men into your child’s life, but please don’t be in a hurry to get attached. It’s more important that you devote some time to yourself, figuring out what you need and want in life. Let your friends and family members know you are interested in meeting people. Get involved in activities that will allow you to become friendly with others in pressure-free circumstances — through work, church, community projects, volunteer work, choirs, theater groups, civic organizations, political groups, etc. Also, consider joining Parents Without Partners (parentswithoutpartners. org). Doing interesting things will make you more interesting to be around. Female friends can introduce you to their single male friends or relatives. And, as you get to know others, the fact that you have a child will come up naturally. Dear Annie: I am frequently amazed by how many people fail to realize the unnecessary but real danger they put themselves in by not knowing a simple rule that I clearly remember learning in third grade: If you ride a bicycle on a road, stay on the right side to flow with traffic. If you are walking on a road, stay on the left side, facing traffic. This week, I saw two women walking on the right side of a twolane highway with their backs to
speeding traffic. I pulled over and explained to them that they were one distracted driver away from a coroner. They never would have seen it coming. I once saw three women with baby carriages walking abreast the same way. If they are facing traffic, they can move over if a driver doesn’t seem to be giving them enough room. And they should get off the road anyway. Likewise, bicyclists coming directly at oncoming traffic leave a driver no opportunity to slow down until it is safe to go around. If you print this, I believe a lot of people will recognize themselves and make this simple lifesaving adjustment. — Concerned for the Clueless in N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Bicyclists must obey all traffic laws, which means they need to face the same direction as the traffic. Pedestrians should face the opposite way so they can see what’s coming toward them and get out of the way. Needless to say, no one should walk on a roadway unless absolutely necessary. Let’s hope your simple reminder saves a life or two. Thank you. Dear Annie: “Dry in California” wanted to know how to deal with party hosts who insist on pouring her a drink. I’d like to give a tip to those party hosts and suggest a practice that I always use for informal dinners, as well as bigger parties. I offer guests “something to drink” and then suggest (in this order) juice, soda, tonic water, wine, beer and harder stuff. Some of our friends do not drink alcohol, and a few are recovering alcoholics. One of the juice drinkers always specifies that his drink be served in a lovely wine glass so no one will question why he’s “not drinking.” Since these friends have continued visiting us for years and enjoying our parties, I assume this strategy works. — Party Girl in Vermont
Sheinwold’s bridge
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You know which path is the right one for you to follow, but perhaps you are feeling anxious about the first step. Be careful not to push someone too hard. Tonight: Add more fun to the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your ability to visualize what you desire and to do what you feel is necessary will be clear. Tonight: Home feels like your castle. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You see life with greater clarity and openness. How you handle a personal matter could change, as you seem to be establishing who you are on a new level. Tonight: Visit and catch up on news. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You could be taken aback by an opportunity to see a loved one in a new light. This person suddenly might be so cheerful that you won’t know which way to head. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.
Cryptoquip
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You seem to be on cruise control no matter what you do. Move important matters along quickly, as you don’t often have extra time. Tonight: Choose an activity you enjoy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Right now, you could be acting on an emotional level, especially around a child or new friend. The odds are that you will land well. Agitate less, and act more often. Tonight: Tap into your creativity. Jacqueline Bigar

C A F É P A S Q U A L’ S

The New Mexican

ong before housing some of Santa Fe’s earliest 20thcentury restaurants, the building at the northeast corner of Don Gaspar Avenue and Water Street operated as a Texaco gas station in the early 1900s. It became the Liberty Cafe in 1923, followed by a K.C. Waffle House from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s, and then it housed the Mayflower Café until 1970. By then, the Sikhs owned the historic 650-square-foot, pueblostyle building and ran it as the Golden Temple of Conscious Cookery. For a brief time after, in 1978, Pogo’s Eatery took over the space and served sandwiches for about a year. But perhaps the past 31/2 decades have been the liveliest — and the tastiest — years in the building’s storied history. Since March 31, 1979, Café Pasqual’s has called 121 Don Gaspar Ave. its home, and for 35 years, founder and executive chef Katherine Kagel has welcomed and entertained countless diners at the bustling, festive cafe with her signature cooking that blends New Mexican, Mexican and Asian cuisines. In Kagel’s owns words, “there’s a party going on, and that’s what we’ve been doing for 35 years.” Throughout Pasqual’s, that party theme is represented in numerous ways. It’s seen in the five-panel mural, La Luna Se Fue a Una Fiesta, by Oaxacan artist Leovigildo Martinez, which depicts the moon reveling during a daytime party given in her honor. It’s also adorned on the ceiling, where rows upon rows of Mexican papel picados hang across the dining room. In Mexico, such decorations indicate a fiesta. But it’s most apparent in Kagel herself, who’s a natural entertainer. The daughter of Sam and Sophia Kagel, she learned how to entertain at a young age. “My parents were amazing entertainers,” she said. “They built a house in Marin County [in Northern California] just to entertain on the weekends. So I’ve been feeding crowds for as long as I can remember. My parents loved, loved, loved to party. So there you have it — I made it into a career.”

Community, food first By Kagel’s account, not much has changed since Café Pasqual’s opened its doors — and that’s one of the keys to its success. Since opening, Kagel said community and handmade, organic food have formed the core of the restaurant. Today, she said, about 95 percent of the ingredients used at the restaurant are certified organic, including most of its produce and some of its wines. She also continues to operate what she calls a “never-ever” meat program, in which she only sources and serves free-range and antibiotic-free meats. “What we do today is what we did in the beginning,” Kagel said. “You taste, you adjust, you listen to your patrons, you understand your markets and your sources, and you develop, develop, develop. It never ends, but at the end of the day, we’ve accomplished a lot.” The current menu reflects that mentality. It features Kagel’s spin on many tried-and-true New Mexican classics, like chile relleños, carne asada and enchiladas, which are dubbed the Blue Lady and are layered with Monterey Jack cheese and sauced in either red or green chile, or tomatillo d’arbol salsa. Less traditional items like the quinoa burger and Yucatán salad — made with achiote-marinated chicken, strips of roasted poblano, jicama and orange segments — give the menu, which also features classic, gluten-free and vegan pastry desserts, a more contem-

porary touch. For Kagel, the restaurant’s community spirit is best exemplified at the center of the dining room, where the 12-seat communal table stands. The table, which Kagel used in her own dining room during the ’70s, has been popular with diners since the beginning, she said. “As you can see, people from all over Santa Fe, the county, the state, the world are meeting and greeting every day,” she said. “I’ve even gotten two photographs of two little boys who were named Pasqual because their parents met at the community table. So people become friends or, in those cases, partners.”
Restaurant takes root With years of globetrotting between Japan and Hawaii behind her, Kagel moved to Santa Fe in 1978 with plans to open a Japanese antique gallery.
Within 24 hours, however, she set course on a different path. When she arrived in town from Ann Arbor, Mich., Kagel said she only knew two people. So, having grown up in Northern California with parents who were passionate entertainers, she decided to host a dinner party — a Chinese banquet, to be exact — to meet new people. After the meal, one of the guests, Mark Zaplin, told her, “You should cater,” said Kagel, who learned to cook from her mother, her grandmother, Jenny Kagel, and Della Clay, the family housekeeper. “The next morning, I woke up and remembered what he [Zaplin] said. So I tore out of bed and had a business card created, and I went to the state to register with the tax department and I phoned the health and sanitation people, so I had everything in order,” she said. For her second catering job, the
Lamb plays in a field of cumin By Melissa Clark

hen it comes to cooking lamb, I lean European. I dream of a Provençalstyle roasted leg scented with herbs, or the seared little Italian lamb chops that scorch your fingers when you pick them up. Here’s what doesn’t immediately pop into my head: Asian-style lamb dishes, mostly because not that many have joined the standard ChineseThai-Vietnamese repertory here in the U.S. There is, however, one major exception, and it’s a good one: cumin lamb. Stir-fried cumin lamb is a dish popular in China’s autonomous Xinjiang region, in the country’s northwest. And I’ve been seeing it more often on Chinese, particularly Sichuan, menus in New York, where I order it whenever I get the chance.

At its best, there is an equal ratio of fiery dried red chili pods to thin slices of lamb. The scent of toasted cumin and Sichuan peppercorns wafts over your plate and thrums through every bite. Some kind of vegetable (bell peppers, onions, celery) is usually added to break up the meaty heat. I like onions for contrasting sweetness. Even at home, you can make a version that is spicy enough to make you sweat, in the best possible way. CUMIN LAMB STIR-FRY Total time: 35 minutes, makes four services 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds 2 teaspoons Sichuan or regular peppercorns 1 pound boneless lamb 1 teaspoon ground cumin ¾ teaspoon kosher salt 4 to 8 dried red chiles

pressure was on. She was tapped to cater a dinner for 20 restauranteurs hosted by the owner of the Steaksmith, Herb Cohen. “I charged $8 a plate for dinner,” she said. After the meal, “He [Cohen] handed me a $100 tip, then he said, ‘Now maybe you’ve broke even.’ That was 1978. So I catered that first year, and that first party led to one party after another. Then I had this crazy idea that a restaurant would be easier than catering.” And that’s when she met Theo Raven. Weeks into her China Catering business, Kagel walked into Doodlet’s, the longtime gift shop on Don Gaspar Avenue, and introduced herself to Raven, the owner. After the two talked and Kagel handed her business card to Raven, Kagel said the shop owner told her, “You see the restaurant that’s across the street? Go buy it.” To Kagel’s surprise, Raven was not

the first person to tell her to open a restaurant at 121 Don Gaspar Ave. “The first person who said it to me was B.C. Caldwell, a chiropractor, whom I had known in the ’70s,” she said. “On my way to Santa Fe from Ann Aarbor in 1978, I stopped to see him, and he said, ‘You ought to get the old Mayflower Café, and you ought to open a restaurant.’ ” Although Caldwell was the first to tell Kagel about his “vision for this address,” she went “charging into the restaurant” only after speaking with Raven. “When I saw the tile on the wall and saw that room, I went, ‘Wow.’ I asked to meet the owner, and the rest is history.” At 31, in 1979, Kagel opened Café Pasqual’s, named after the patron saint of kitchens and cooks, San Pasqual, with Margo Stipe and Tim Burns, who left within a year. In 1986, Kagel became the restaurant’s sole owner.
Staff key to success Today, Kagel, 66, largely attributes Pasqual’s many successes — which includes a James Beard Award and two cookbooks — to the talents of several key staffers, many of whom have worked at the restaurant for several decades. “We have a very long-lived staff, which makes for excellent managers,” Kagel said. General manager David Coulson, who began as a line cook, will celebrate three decades at Pasqual’s this year, Kagel said. Dining room managers Brad Brown and Roblair Richter, on the other hand, have clocked in about 24 and 12 years, respectively. And then there are the cooks. Head breakfast chef and “ordering master” Rudy Gabaldon and head lunch chef Gabriel Ruiz have both worked in the kitchen since 1984, while Gabriel’s brother, Presciliano Ruiz, the head dinner chef, began in 1986. And Roman Polanco, who multitasks as a breakfast and lunch cook, has two decades under his belt. Linda Cook, who worked in the restaurant for about 12 years before returning last year after a 20-year hiatus, now serves as the director of Pasqual’s art gallery, which opened 24 years ago on the second floor in an adjoining building on East Water Street. The gallery, which is open daily to the public, features the artwork of Leovigildo Martinez, recycle paper artist Rick Phelps and several micaceous potters, including Felipe Ortega. “I think one of the things that draws me to this place, yes, everyone is family and really cares about one another,” Cook said, “but I think we owe a lot to Katherine at the helm, who is incredible gracious to include people’s creativity.” As for the future, Kagel hopes to continue her efforts in promoting an organic lifestyle, supporting farmers and artists, and serving as a model for other restaurants. “We are distressed over what’s going on in food in America. It’s very important that families eat well. So we will continue to model that in any way we can. And here in the gallery, we want to support artists in New Mexico, and stimulate our bodies and our souls. That’s what we do here, we’re simulating our hearts, minds, bodies and having a great time while we’re doing it.” Contact Carlos Andres López at clopez@sfnewmexican.

TRAVEL Tracing communist history in Budapest’s landscape

The Associated Press
UDAPEST, Hungary — The toppling of statues and monuments during times of political upheaval has been a well-documented act in Eastern and Central European history. Among the cathartic gestures following the fall of communism in 1989, many of Budapest’s granite and stone giants were swiftly uprooted and later carted off to a field 30 minutes away from central Budapest that has become a sculpture park for the scorned monuments. Save for a cubist rendition of Marx and Engels flanking the entrance, Memento Park is an openair depot of rusty socialist-realist statues, arranged inside a walled complex lined mostly with pebbles. The iconic Republic of Councils Monument, a giant statue of a worker charging forward and the most inadvertently comic of the installments, is even the butt of irreverent jokes: Some say it looks like a running beachgoer, others say a cloakroom attendant. Beyond that, however, the grounds are meant to serve as grim but honest reminders of 40 years under communist regimes. In Budapest, once seen as the western gate of the Eastern bloc, an unknowing tourist’s interest in communist history is sometimes regarded with suspicion, even by those too young to have firsthand memories of the country’s bygone era. The grimy but functional M3 metro system, built mostly in the 1970s during the height of Hungarian “goulash communism” (a less oppressive era than earlier regimes), stretches from the Kobanya-Kispest station near the airport to the north end of Pest. With a transfer at Deak Ferenc Square to the M2 metro, one can reach Szell Kalman Square (formerly Moscow Square), a busy transport hub in Buda that still bears the socialist-realist aura of the Soviet era. Driving from the airport via the southeast of the city reveals a smattering of unrestored, sometimes crumbling residential monoliths, dating to a period when the government was developing large-scale low-cost housing. In these flats, insulation was poor and kitchens were deliberately small to keep politically subversive dinner conversations at bay. But in the more central cultural hub of District VII, or the Jewish Quarter, some of the city’s many unrestored buildings have been transformed into “ruin pubs,” an attraction for curious tourists and hip urbanites. Instant Bar is one of these warm haunts salvaged from a defunct residential building. The courtyard now boasts an array of beer taps and a palimpsest of psychedelic lighting, the entire space decked up in an “enchanted forest” vibe, signified by a group of rabbit figures suspended from the ceiling. The city’s various walking tours, including communism-themed tours originating from Vorosmarty Square, will drop travelers off at some of these dives. Other tours are available looking at the city’s Jew-

ish history, which dates back centuries. The Jewish Quarter is home to several 19th-century synagogues, and during World War II, the Nazis created a walled ghetto here from which thousands of Hungarian Jews were sent to concentration camps. Soviet soldiers drove out the Nazis from Budapest in 1945, and a monument dedicated to them sits in Freedom Square — an unlit, 16-foot obelisk. There is nothing here to mark the turn of events 11 years later, however, when Soviet troops invaded Hungary again — this time to crush opposition to communism. An irony not lost on Hungarians is that the U.S. embassy also sits in the same square, along with a larger than life-sized bronze statue of Ronald Reagan in mid-stride facing the Soviet World War II monument from behind. The city’s current street names mostly
date to the 19th century and the period in the 1920s and ’30s between World War I and II. Many of those streets were called something else under the Soviet regime and then restored to their original names when communism ended. Budapest’s Liberty Statue at Gellert Hill is one of the last communist-era structures to have avoided being trucked off to Memento Park, but the monument has changed over time. It was erected in 1947 to commemorate the end of the Nazi occupation. Its height — a 46-foot statue of a figure holding a palm leaf aloft, atop a 85-foot pedestal on a hill — makes it a prominent feature of the Buda skyline, higher than structures around it and easily viewable from a boat cruise on the Danube. But its inscription has been altered: Once a tribute to Soviet troops, it’s now a memorial for those who died for Hungary’s freedom.

NEW YORK — Bill Cunningham is a familiar presence on the social and fashion pages of The New York Times, and the streets of New York City, riding a bicycle with a small camera bag strapped to his waist. But long before his images of street fashion became a regular newspaper feature, Cunningham spent eight years, from 1968 to 1976, working on a whimsical photo essay of models in period costumes posing against historic sites of the same vintage. Astride his bike, he searched secondhand shops for antique clothing and looked for architectural sites across the city to create the perfect tableaux, many of which featured his muse and fellow photographer, Editta Sherman. The result was Facades, a book published in 1978. Now, nearly all of the 88 gelatin silver prints from the series, which Cunningham donated to the New York Historical Society, are featured in an exhibition there. Bill Cunningham: Facades runs through June 15. A former hat maker, Cunningham’s models are featured in fantastical headdress. In one composition, Sherman wears a fur pillbox that playfully mimics the spiral lines of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum. In another, a large hat brimming with oversized feathers and flowers perched high on Sherman’s head is used as a perfect counterpoint to the sculpture of Hercules, Minerva and Mercury on the clock atop Grand Central Terminal. “I don’t think he ever thought of it as a fashion project,” said the show’s curator, Valerie Paley. “It’s more a social, architectural and fashion history of the city. … He saw the grace of old architecture, the lines and the architectural integrity.” Architectural preservation in New York City was in its infancy when Cunningham began work on the photo series. Just a few years earlier, two of the city’s masterpieces — the original Penn Station and the Hotel Astor (the Waldorf Astoria’s predecessor) were demolished. But while Cunningham may not have been making a statement about preservation, said Paley, “he certainly was seeing beauty where others weren’t seeing it.” The exhibition also recounts some of the amusing stories of Cunningham’s vintage clothing expeditions. One of his earliest finds was a 1770s mob-cap of white lace and taffeta that a thrift store had mistaken for a chair doily. He paid $2 for it. A humble and private man, the 85-year-old photographer said at the exhibition opening that he rarely paid more than a few dollars for any of his finds. “I’m crazy about fashion and I’m mad about architecture,” he said. “It was all here in New York City.” Cunningham and Sherman, a celebrity photographer of famous artists and musicians who died at age 101 last year, were neighbors in the Carnegie Hall Studios, once live-work spaces for artists, musicians and actors above the famous music emporium. They often rode the subway to the various locations to avoid wrinkling the costumes. An amusing photo in the exhibition shows Sherman sitting in a graffiti-covered subway car resplendent in Victorian dress. The Facades project demonstrates that Cunningham is “clearly somebody that knows the history of fashion thoroughly and is in love with all aspects of fashion, not just what’s trendy this season but the aesthetic value of fashion in any period,” said Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of The Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology. His interplay of fashion and architecture “just shows how much he knows,” that fashion has to do with art, style and change over time, she added. That knowledge is abundantly obvious from the pencil notations he jotted on the back of the prints. In his evocation of the Civil War era, he wrote that the period’s brightly colored fabrics were made possible by “the industrial revolution in textile dye from natural to chemical.” “Almost as an anthropologist,” Paley said, Cunningham recorded his field notes about the history of the buildings and the costumes.
