Deadly Calif. rampage linked to chilling video Police say 22-year-old killed six, injured seven others in college town By Ian Lovett and Adam Nagourney The New York Times

ISLA VISTA, Calif. — A gunman who documented his rage against women for rejecting him killed six people and wounded seven others during a spasm of terror Friday night, some stabbed to death in his apartment and others methodically shot while he drove through the crowded streets of this small college town. The gunman, identified by the police as Elliot O. Rodger, 22, was found dead with a bullet wound to his head after his black BMW crashed into a parked car following two shootouts with sheriff’s deputies near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara; it was not immediately clear if he killed himself or was shot by the police. A semiautomatic handgun was recovered from the car, the police said. Later Saturday, the police said they had recovered the bodies of three men from the apartment complex

where Rodger lived. All three had been stabbed. Barely 24 hours before the killing spree, Rodger had posted a video on YouTube in which he sat behind the steering wheel of his black BMW and for seven minutes recounted the isolation and sexual frustrations of his life, pausing for an occasional self-mocking laugh. He spoke of the women who rejected him, the happiness he saw around him and his life as a virgin. He called his message “Elliot Rodger’s Retribution,” and said it was the last video he would post. “It all has to come to this,” Rodger said, his voice at once placid and chilling. “Tomorrow is the day of retribution. The day I will have my retribution against humanity. Against all of you. For the last eight years of my life ever since I hit puberty, I’ve been forced to endure an existence of loneliness, rejection and unfulfilled desires. All because girls have never been attracted to me. In those years I’ve had to rot in loneliness. “I do not know why you girls aren’t attracted to me,” he said, “But I will punish you all for it.”

WASHINGTON — It had taken a while, but Army Staff Sgt. Sam Shockley had meticulously compiled a list of all of his war wounds, including his diminished memory, only to

burn, a Department of Veterans Affairs benefits counselor who in the next few hours would help Shockley figure out the true cost of his war. “As long as I go from head to toe I’m pretty sure I’ll remember all my points.”

Pecos teen refuses to hear naysayers, finishes at top Inspired by deaf parents, scholarship winner will study medicine at UNM By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

Academia has always been a refuge for Nicolette Gonzales. The Pecos teen’s parents, Nickolaus Gonzales and Ramona Maya, now divorced, are both deaf, which often has been fodder for naysayers — including some teachers — and schoolyard bullies. English was not Gonzales’ first language. She learned

to communicate in American Sign Language, and the transition to speaking posed challenges. “In first grade, I was really shy,” she said. “It wasn’t normal for me to talk.” But schoolwork, she said, has always soothed her. “I learned to block it out,” Gonzales said of her challenges. “And I threw myself into school.” Gonzales, 18, recently graduated from Pecos High School as a co-valedictorian, taking Advanced Placement classes including biology and history. She has snagged several

ndocumented immigrants like Ramon Dorado often are accused of stealing American jobs. Back in Mexico, where he was living after his deportation from the U.S. in 2010, Dorado also was considered an unwanted immigrant. Some assumed his American speaking voice, devoid of an accent, helped him score one of the higher-paying jobs in the area. Dorado, 24, was brought to the U.S. as a baby and raised in Albuquerque.

speeding and subsequently deported to Chihuahua, where he was born. With no chance of legally re-entering the U.S., Dorado found work as a customer service representative, fielding calls from Americans at one of a growing number of call centers in Mexico. Call centers increasingly have been outsourced to Mexico, where the sharp increase in deportations under President Barack Obama’s administration ensures a steady supply of native Mexicans who speak American English with fluency. In the five years since Obama was first elected, more than 2 million immigrants have been deported, compared to 2 million during the eight years of George W. Bush’s presidency. Mexican deportees are attractive candidates for customer service jobs in their home country because they can identify with American customers and more readily sell them services.

In Chihuahua, Dorado worked for the French-owned Teleperformance Group, a customer service company that has had offices there since 1996. He handled U.S. customer calls for FedEx and DirecTV. Speaking perfect American English, without a hint of an accent, Dorado was a perfect candidate for the job.

NATION&WORLD High court quietly revises its decisions By Adam Liptak The New York Times

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has been quietly revising its decisions years after they were issued, altering the law of the land without public notice. The revisions include “truly substantive changes in factual statements and legal reasoning,” said Richard J. Lazarus, a law professor at Harvard and the author of a new study examining the phenomenon. The court can act quickly, as when Justice Antonin Scalia last month corrected an embarrassing error in a dissent in a case involving the Environmental Protection Agency. But most changes are neither prompt nor publicized, and the court’s secretive editing process has led judges and law professors astray, causing them to rely on passages that were later scrubbed from the official record. The widening public access to online versions of the court’s decisions, some of which do not reflect the final wording, has made the longstanding problem more pronounced. Unannounced changes have not reversed decisions outright, but they have withdrawn conclusions on significant points of law. They have also retreated from descriptions of common ground with other justices, as Justice Sandra Day O’Connor did in a major gay rights case. The larger point, said Jeffrey L. Fisher, a law professor at Stanford, is that Supreme Court decisions are parsed by judges and scholars with exceptional care. “In Supreme Court opinions, every word matters,” he said. “When they’re changing the wording of opinions, they’re basically rewriting the law.” Supreme Court opinions are often produced under intense time pressure because of the court’s self-imposed deadline, which generally calls for the announcement of decisions in all cases argued during the term before the justices leave for their summer break. The court does warn readers that early versions of its decisions, available at the courthouse and on the court’s website, are works in progress. A notice says that “this opinion is subject to formal revision before publication,” and it asks readers to notify the court of “any typographical or other formal errors.” But aside from announcing the abstract proposition that revisions are possible, the court almost never notes when a change has been made, much less specifies what it was.

‘The bear is loose’ — Obama goes out, about Secret Service’s security cocoon leaves president bottled up The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — “The bear is loose!” Those were President Barack Obama’s words as he ditched his motorcade and left the White House on foot, favoring the fresh air in a walk toward the Interior Department. Tourists near the White House never expected to see the president in person on a steamy spring afternoon. One woman squealed with delight; another suggested she thought Wednesday’s sighting might be an Obama impostor. Since taking office, Obama has grumbled periodically about the claustrophobia that sets in when his every move is surrounded by intense security. That makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the simple pleasures that others take for granted. “It’s good to be out,” Obama said. Traditionally, whenever the president leaves the White House, he travels by motorcade or helicopter. Before he arrives at his destination, Secret Service agents have prepared security, which generally keeps Obama at a distance from anything unpredictable. Life in this bubble can feel suffocating. For Obama, relief frequently comes in the form of a weekend golf outing, usually at a military base. But every once in a while, the golf course just doesn’t cut it. “I don’t get a chance to take walks very often,” Obama said this past week. “Secret Service gets a little stressed. But every once in a while I’m able to sneak off.” Nearly six years into his presidency, Obama seems to be sneaking off just a bit more often. Last week, diners at a Shake Shack near the White House looked up from their cheeseburgers to see Obama and Vice President Joe Biden stroll in. The White House said Obama was there to promote government-financed work projects and a proposed minimum wage

increase, but the hastily arranged visit raised a few eyebrows. Three days later, Obama was en route to a fundraiser in suburban Maryland when his motorcade made a detour and pulled into a park. Obama stopped by a baseball field where Little League teams were getting ready for a game. Obama lobbed a few balls toward home plate and posed for photos. White House officials offered little explanation for the stop, other than to point out that Obama was scheduled later in the week to travel to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. That visit, officials said, was aimed at promoting tourism to the U.S. as a way to boost the economy. Former White House aides said it’s always gratifying to depart from the norm by allowing the president to interact more directly with people, even if it’s a major headache for those responsible for making it happen. “Staff loves it, Secret Service hates it,” said Ari Fleischer, who traveled frequently with President George W. Bush as his press secretary. “They want everything buttoned down and under total, nothing-could-possibly-go-wrong control.”

BRUSSELS — Three people were shot dead and a fourth seriously wounded in an armed attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels on Saturday, officials said. Police detained one suspect and were looking for a second. The bloodshed, which came on the eve of national and European Parliament elections, led officials to immediately raise anti-terror measures. Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, who was in the vicinity, said the scene “was terrible and left me shocked” as he saw the bodies of two of the victims lying at the entrance of the museum, located in the swanky Sablon neighborhood of Belgium’s capital. Reynders said that “you cannot help to think that when we see a Jewish museum, you think of an antiSemitic act. But the investigation will have to show the causes.” Interior Minister Joelle Milquet told reporters that the shooter apparently parked a car outside before entering the Jewish Museum. She added the gunman “apparently fired rather quickly, went outside and left.”

SALT LAKE CITY — A gay rights organization is calling on Utah Gov. Gary Herbert to apologize for suggesting homosexuality is a choice and for calling decisions by other state leaders to not defend samesex marriage bans the “next step to anarchy.” John Netto, head of the Utah Pride Center’s board, said the governor’s comments during his monthly televised news conference Thursday were hurtful. “To suggest that allowing gay marriage is the foundation of anarchy, to us, is hate speech,” Netto told The Salt Lake Tribune. “We think he is uneducated ... on current scientific positions in regard to human sexuality.” Herbert’s office didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Herbert said Thursday that he remains committed to defending Utah’s same-sex marriage ban, which was struck down by a federal judge in December. The ruling led more than 1,000 same-sex couples to marry in the state before the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency stay pending an appeal to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.

Father of G.I. Joe figurine dies PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Donald Levine, the Hasbro executive credited as the father of G.I. Joe for developing the world’s first action figure, has died. He was 86. He died of cancer early Thursday at Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island, said his wife, Nan. They were just about to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. Levine shepherded the toy through design and development as Hasbro’s head of research and development. He and his team came up with an 11½-inch articulated figure with 21 moving parts, and since the company’s employees included many military veterans, it was decided to outfit the toy in the uniforms of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, with such accessories as guns, helmets and vehicles.

AMMAN, Jordan — Pope Francis denounced arms dealers and appealed Saturday for an urgent end to the Syrian civil war as he began his three-day trip to the Middle East with an emotional meeting with refugees from Syria and Iraq who have fled to Jordan. Francis deviated from his prepared remarks to make a strong plea for peace during his first day in Jordan, praying for God to “convert those who seek war, those who make and sell weapons!” “We all want peace, but looking at the tragedy of war, looking at the wounded, seeing so many people who left their homeland who were forced to go away, I ask, ‘Who sells weapons to these people to make war?’ z” he asked. “This is the root of evil, the hatred, the love of money.” His tough words echoed the diatribe he delivered a few weeks ago against mobsters in Italy, denouncing their activities and praying that they turn away from evil to embrace a more dignified life.

Junta says leaders need ‘time to think’ The Associated Press

BANGKOK — In a chilling move apparently aimed at neutralizing critics and potential opposition, Thailand’s new army junta ordered dozens of activists, academics and journalists to surrender themselves to military authorities. The junta, which is already holding most of the government it ousted in a coup Thursday in secret locations against their will, said it would keep former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and others in custody for up to a week to give them “time to think” and keep the country calm. Two days after the army seized power in the nation’s first coup in eight years, it also faced scattered protests that came amid growing concern over the junta’s intentions. Also Saturday, the military dissolved the Senate — the last functioning democratic institution left, and absorbed its legislative powers. “Military rule has thrown Thailand’s rights situation into a free fall,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “The army is using dra-

conian martial law powers to detain politicians, activists and journalists, to censor media, and to ban all public gatherings. This rolling crackdown needs to come to an end immediately.” More than 150 people, mostly top politicians, have been detained incommunicado so far and banned from leaving the country, according to rights groups. Deputy army spokesman Col. Weerachon Sukondhapatipak said they were all being well-treated and the military’s aim was to achieve a political compromise.

Weerachon said all those held have had their cellphones confiscated because “we don’t want them communicating with other people. We want them to be themselves and think on their own,” he said, adding that they need to “calm down and have time to think.” “We don’t intend to limit their freedom — it’s to relieve the pressure,” he said.

By David D. Kirkpatrick The New York Times

CAIRO — Abdel Fattah elSissi, the former army officer, is expected to become Egypt’s head of state after a pro forma election, scheduled to begin Monday. El-Sissi, 59, has already been the nation’s paramount decision maker since he ousted Egypt’s democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi, last summer. Now, more than three years after the Arab Spring uprising raised hopes of a democratic Egypt, el-Sissi’s move into the presidential palace will return Egypt to the rule of a paternalistic military strongman in the tradition of Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak. In his long rise to power and a compressed, three-week campaign, el-Sissi has shown that he, too, sees himself as a morally superior father figure, responsible for directing and correcting the nation. “People think I’m a soft man,” el-Sissi said in a leaked recording of an off-the-record conversation. “Sissi is torture and suffering.” Like his predecessors, el-Sissi, too, has guided Egyptian history from behind the scenes. He teamed up with Morsi to take the job of the former defense minister two summers ago, only to oust the president, himself, last summer. As chief of military intelligence, el-Sissi was also the secret architect of the strategy the generals employed during the 2011 uprisings, siding with “the people” against Mubarak while ensuring the army stayed in control. El-Sissi was immediately elevated to the status of national hero by a broad section of the public — and all of the state and private media — because he promised order and stability after three years of upheaval. Now he will preside over the most populous and, in many ways, most influential Arab state. He has proposed government projects to force down prices and profits as well as to irrigate and give away vast areas of desert. And he has expressed frankly condescending views of the public. The military, el-Sissi told fellow officers in a leaked recording of a meeting last December, is “like the very big brother, the very big father who has a son who is a bit of a failure and does not understand the facts.” El-Sissi will lead a nation as deeply divided as it was the day last July when he ousted and imprisoned Morsi.

VA allows more private care for veterans By Matthew Daly The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — More veterans are being allowed to obtain health care at private hospitals and clinics in an effort to improve their treatment following allegations of falsified records and delays in treatment. In a statement issued Saturday, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki also said VA facilities are enhancing capacity of their clinics so veterans can get care sooner. In cases where officials cannot expand capacity at VA centers, the Department of Veterans Affairs is “increasing the care we acquire in the community through non-VA care,” Shinseki said.

Lawmakers from both parties have pressed for this policy change as the VA confronts allegations about treatment delays and falsified records at VA centers nationwide. The department’s inspector general says 26 VA facilities are under investigation, including the Phoenix VA hospital, where a former clinic director says as many as 40 veterans may have died will awaiting treatment. Officials also are investigating claims that VA employees have falsified appointment records to cover up delays in care. An initial review of 17 people who died while awaiting appointments in Phoenix found that none of their deaths appeared to have been caused by delays in treatment. The allegations have raised fresh

concerns about the administration’s management of a department that has been struggling to keep up with the influx of veterans returning home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Vietnam veterans needing more care as they age. The directive announced Saturday should make it easier for veterans to get medical care at non-VA facilities, according to an agency spokeswoman. The VA spent about $4.8 billion last year on medical care at non-VA hospitals and clinics, spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said. That amounts to about 10 percent of health care costs for the Veterans Health Administration, the agency’s health care arm. It was not clear how much the new

initiative would cost, Dillon said. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla, chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, welcomed Shinseki’s announcement, but questioned why it took so long. Reports about the veterans at the Phoenix hospital surfaced more than a month ago. “It appears the department is finally starting to take concrete steps to address the problem,” Miller said Saturday, calling the directive “a welcome change from the department’s previous approach, which was to wait months for the results of yet another investigation into a problem we already know exists.” Miller has accused Shinseki and President Barack Obama of focusing on internal reviews while “overlook-

ing VA’s very real, very deadly and very well-documented delays-in-care problem.” Miller has pledged to introduce legislation that would give any veteran who is unable to obtain a VA appointment within 30 days the option to receive non-VA care at the department’s expense. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has called for the VA to allow more veterans to receive medical care at private hospitals. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said this past week that she was open to the idea of medical care at private hospitals. She said it was unacceptable to have a backlog of patients waiting for permission to go to a federally qualified clinic.

Cost: Flood of benefits claims has overwhelmed VA, caused backlog Continued from Page A-1 One year earlier, Shockley, then 25, was leading his squad through a field in southern Afghanistan when he stepped on a buried bomb that shot him into the air and sheared off his legs. Now, after 40 surgeries, he had come to the small VA office in Bethesda, Md., at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to start the process that would determine the monthly disability payments that he’ll receive for the rest of his life. War can be a series of cold calculations: the distance a bullet travels, the blast radius of a bomb, the number of minutes it takes to reach a soldier bleeding out on the battlefield. For wounded troops leaving the military, there is one more: the price paid for a broken body, a missing limb, a lost eye, a damaged brain. The longest stretch of fighting in American history is producing disability claims at rates that surpass those of any of the country’s previous wars. Nearly half of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are filing for these benefits when they leave the military — a flood of claims that has overwhelmed the VA and generated a backlog of 300,000 cases stuck in processing for more than four months. Some have languished for more than a year. “We’re not where we need to be,” President Barack Obama has said of the glut, which peaked last year at 611,000 claims. “But we’re making progress.” The backlog has become one of several issues that have drawn the ire of veterans and lawmakers, leading to calls for the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. How do you solve a problem that has been called a “national embarrassment,” “a mess,” and yet another instance of Washington “bureaucracy run amok”? If the backlog is going to be fixed, the solution will come one soldier at a time in small offices such as this one at Walter Reed. “So we’ll start with the head portion,” Shockley said. “I know I had a ruptured eardrum.” “Is that the right ear?” Washburn asked. He sat behind a metal government-issue desk with a window overlooking Tranquility Hall, the dorm where Shockley lives with his fiancée while he learns how

to walk on prosthetic legs and rehabilitates his body. “Left ear,” Shockley said. “It was a perforation.” Computer keys clacked as Washburn logged the information. A big cardboard box containing Shockley’s medical records rested on the floor behind Washburn’s desk. “I guess we’ll move on,” Shockley said. “Concussion, obviously from the blast.” He continued down his body: One of Shockley’s lungs collapsed when his chest cavity filled with blood. His lower back is chronically sore. There’s scarring and nerve damage on his forearm. “I don’t sweat too much right there, so I guess that’s an advantage,” he said. There’s a metal plate in his wrist. He’s missing parts of his middle and index fingers. There’s a missing right testicle. One leg is gone one inch above the knee and the other just below the hip. Shockley moved on to the less visible wounds. He sometimes suffers from migraines, though they have waned in recent months. “Is that something you want me to list?” Washburn asked. “Might as well,” Shockley said. He has trouble sleeping most nights, he said. The heavy narcotics he was given following his surgeries wreaked havoc on his digestive system. “I have a real sensitive stomach,” he said. “I have to take nausea medicine every once in a while.” “How about memory loss?” asked Washburn, thinking of the concussion from the bomb blast and the forgotten list. “Yeah, memory loss,” Shockley said. “Quite a bit of shortterm memory loss.” Shockley paused and ran through his wounds one more time quietly under his breath to make sure he wasn’t forgetting anything important: “Arm, finger, lung. We got the lower back,” he said. He shot a quick glance down at the place where his legs used to be. “I really can’t say anything about knees or ankles,” he said. “Anything else you can think of?” Washburn asked. Shockley paused. He looked around the room, and that’s when he noticed an old picture of himself, poking out of a manila folder on Washburn’s desk. The photo was taken during Shockley’s first Army physi-

cal, before he had shipped off to basic training. “Can I see that real quick?” he asked. uuu

When the picture was snapped in 2005, Shockley was still a high school senior. In it, he’s staring straight into the camera. His eyes are wide open. He looks young, uncertain and scared. “That was the start of it,” Shockley said of the moment, right on the edge of all that was to come for him. He was looking at the picture. Washburn, meanwhile, was seeing where this conversation was headed. Shockley was his third interview of the day, his 25th of the month and one of hundreds that he’s done since coming to Walter Reed 18 months ago. He has seen some troops grow angry in his office as they think about how their war injuries have changed their lives. “You don’t understand the frustration,” railed one Marine as he talked about being unable to

THE PRICE OF WAR INJURIES The Department of Veterans Affairs’ method of compensating severely wounded veterans uses a grading system based on the person’s injuries. The higher the grade, the larger the amount per month. Some rough examples:

Loss of one hand

Loss of one hand and one foot

Loss of both legs at the region of the knee

Loss of both arms at the region of the elbow

Paraplegia: paralysis of both lower extremities along with bowel and bladder incontinence.

Seriously disabled veterans in need of advanced levels of aid and attendance

Special monthly compensation $100

$700-$900

$1,000-$1,300 $1,600-$1,900

$2,100

$5,300

open his car door wide enough in a crowded parking lot to load his wheelchair. Some troops choose to laugh. “Taco Bell tonight!” joked one when Washburn told him that his missing foot and ankle would earn him an extra $101.50 a month in disability payments. Some, such as Shockley, want to talk, turning appointments that could take 30 minutes tops into something much longer. “I didn’t know what was going on,” he said, still looking at the photo. “You’re like cattle, moving along the big, long lines.” “No sleep, right?” Washburn said. His voice was easy and encouraging, an invitation to keep talking. “It didn’t really get any better, but you get used to it,” Shockley said. “The bad thing is that I made it past all of the lower ranks. I made it to right where life starts to get a little better in the military.” On the day he stepped on the hidden pressure plate, triggering the explosion, Shockley was walking point, sweeping the path in front of his squad with a handheld metal detector. As the most experienced soldier, he figured that he had the best chance of finding any buried bombs. “The decision I made, I’d never take it back,” he said. “If it wasn’t me, it would’ve been somebody else.” “That’s right,” Washburn said. “I was probably the lightest one in my platoon,” he said. “Really?” Washburn asked. “Yeah. The lightest. If I had triggered it, everyone else would have triggered it. That’s for sure,” Shockley said. “So it was definitely good that it was me.” As Shockley handed the picture back, his shirt sleeve slid up his arm, revealing a tattoo of a battlefield cross — empty boots, a rifle and a helmet. He got it to honor one of his fellow soldiers. “I would’ve rather stepped on it than anyone else,” Shockley said, repeating something that he’d said to himself so many times over the past year that it had almost become a mantra. Shockley had been sitting across from Washburn for almost an hour, and his lower back was beginning to throb. The incision from his last surgery, just two weeks earlier, was starting

to sting. He grabbed a low-dose Oxycontin pill from the pouch hanging from the front of his wheelchair and placed it on his tongue. He didn’t have any water, so he snapped his head back with a practiced jerk, and the pain pill slid down his throat. uuu

In the year since the explosion, Shockley had come to know people throughout Walter Reed, including the military doctors upstairs who had operated on him so many times and who sometimes wondered about the lives they were now able to save. Advances in combat medicine were keeping alive soldiers and Marines who would have bled out on the battlefield only a few years earlier. Some were surviving with three and even four missing limbs. In Afghanistan, the doctors had debated whether they should even be saving these troops. What kind of lives could they lead? Today, these doctors ask different questions: How will these veterans cope when pressure sores force them back into their wheelchairs? What will happen to their battered bodies as they age? Will they grow depressed or despondent? In the small VA office, Shockley offered one answer. “I always think it could be worse,” he said. His list of wounds now done, Shockley rattled off a list of blessings and accomplishments. “I would say I came out of this with my head on my shoulders,” he said. “I came to terms with what happened to me early on.” He had served three tours of Iraq and Afghanistan and had been promoted faster than many of his peers. Most important, he had made it home alive. “That’s one thing I’m glad of,” he said. “I’m glad I didn’t die in that hell.” Washburn finished up the last of Shockley’s paperwork as Shockley talked about some of the things he hoped to do in the years ahead: Get married. Go back to school. Maybe he’d find a career in the private sector and retire at 50 to an island in the Caribbean. “That’s where I want to be,” he said. Washburn nodded and then began telling Shockley about the benefits he would be receiving. He would almost certainly

be judged 100 percent disabled, entitling him to a minimum monthly payment of $2,858. He’d also receive special monthly compensation. “That’s something we pay above the basic monthly rates because of your amputations,” Washburn said. Special monthly compensation payments vary widely and can be tough to estimate. The loss of a single foot, hand or eye is worth $101.50 a month. Two missing legs can generate an additional payment of about $1,000-$1,300 a month. Missing arms are worth an extra $1,600-$1,800. The highest rate of disability compensation — typically reserved for veterans requiring near-constant assistance — is $8,179 a month. Washburn passed Shockley a spreadsheet with the categories and rates. “You know there was another thing I kind of forgot to mention,” Shockley said, fumbling a bit to find the right words. “I know on my … We talked about the … ” He paused and took a breath. “It was complete damage to that testicle region,” he said. “One testicle made it through, but I am completely infertile.” “OK,” Washburn said. “I can never have kids, you know,” Shockley said. “I would put that down because that’s big. I just recently found that out.” “OK,” Washburn said. “I can definitely add that on there.” Washburn hit print on his computer and handed Shockley the final list. Shockley signed and dated it while Washburn explained the next steps. In a couple of weeks, Shockley would be examined by a series of VA doctors who would assess the severity of the wounds on his list and compile a “narrative summary” of his condition. A VA claims processor in Seattle would review the doctors’ reports, along with Shockley’s military medical files, and propose a disability rating. The entire process, if everything went smoothly, would take about six months, Washburn said. When it was complete, Shockley would return to Washburn’s office for one last meeting. There, Shockley would learn exactly how much his war was worth, and the VA backlog would consist of one less soldier.

respected scholarships and has earned a place in a selective University of New Mexico program. Gonzales’ most prominent award is the Gates-Millennium scholarship, issued by a foundation created by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The award will cover any of her college expenses that are not covered by financial aid or other scholarship awards, as long as she remains in school. In 2012, about 24,000 students throughout the country applied for the funding, which is given to 1,000 students, including 30 in New Mexico this year. Gonzales also won one of 73 Los Alamos Employees Scholarships, worth $10,000, and she was admitted to the undergraduate medical program at UNM, which admits 28 students from the state each year. The program guarantees Gonzales a spot in UNM’s medical school after she completes her bachelor’s degree. She is the first Pecos resident to be accepted into the program. Her planned move to Albuquerque is daunting, she said, but she also is thrilled at the opportunity to go to a place where she will be judged on her merits and not her family history. “It will be nice to meet people who don’t already know everything about me,” she said. Gonzales appears shy at first. She hesitates when speaking about herself, especially when discussing her accomplishments. Her name has always appeared on the honor roll, and she has been winning science fairs since elementary school. Science is her favorite subject, she said. It comes naturally to her. She appreciates that it has right answers and wrong answers. She speaks German and a bit of Spanish, as well as English and

American Sign Language. But she’s not much different from most teens. She likes reading young adult novels in the post-apocalypse genre, such as The Maze Runner, and she plays popular video games, like Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda. She ran on the cross country and track teams at her high school. In her small town, however, with a population of 1,400 and only 50 seniors in her graduating class, Gonzales has been identified more by her parents’ hearing disorders than her own abilities. Many people even expected her to be deaf, as well. In elementary school, she said, some children would taunt her with madeup sign language. Other classmates wanted her to teach them the language. “They loved it,” Gonzales said. “It was our secret club, talking in sign language.” In high school, she said, some teachers would embarrass her by signing out letters. She recalled one teacher shouting at her, telling her she should attend the New Mexico School for the Deaf in Santa Fe. Other teachers, she said, told her she wasn’t going to make valedictorian. Those detractors just pushed her forward. “I wanted to prove them wrong,” she said. “And I did it. That’s proof enough.”

Gonzales is surprisingly upbeat, given the recent tragedies she has faced. One of her older brothers died about a year ago, and her paternal grandfather, who helped her raise her, died two months before her graduation. “He always pushed me,” she said. She now lives with her paternal grandmother. While her parents’ household had been one filled with silence and sign language, her grandmother and grandfather were vital in helping her develop a relationship with sounds, encouraging her to speak and to listen to music. She now plays guitar and piano.

None of her brothers and sisters are deaf — she said deafness is not a genetic condition for either of her parents. But Gonzales is starting to see her younger siblings face the same type of bullying that she has endured. She also sees them beginning to excel in the same way she did. They might even outdo her, she jokes. She wants to become a doctor, Gonzales said, particularly because she remembers her parents’ struggles to communicate with their doctors and other people in the community. Deafness, she said, is an invisible disability. “It was my life,” she said. ” I want to bridge that gap.”

U.S. uses jailed migrants as pool of cheap labor By Ian Urbina The New York Times

HOUSTON — The kitchen of the detention center here was bustling as a dozen immigrants boiled beans and grilled hot dogs, preparing lunch for about 900 other detainees. Elsewhere, guards stood sentry and managers took head counts, but the detainees were doing most of the work — mopping bathroom stalls, folding linens, stocking commissary shelves. As the federal government cracks down on immigrants in the country illegally and forbids businesses to hire them, it is relying on tens of thousands of those immigrants each year to provide essential labor — usually for $1 a day or less — at the detention centers where they are held when caught by the authorities. Federal authorities say the program is voluntary, legal and a cost-saver for taxpayers. But immigrant advocates question whether it is truly voluntary

or lawful, and argue that the government and the private prison companies that run many of the detention centers are bending the rules to convert a captive population into a selfcontained labor force. Last year, at least 60,000 immigrants worked in the federal government’s nationwide patchwork of detention centers — more than worked for any other single employer in the country, according to data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The cheap labor, 13 cents an hour, saves the government and the private companies $40 million or more a year by allowing them to avoid paying outside contractors the $7.25 federal minimum wage. Unlike inmates convicted of crimes, who often participate in prison work programs and forfeit their rights to many wage protections, these immigrants are civil detainees placed in holding centers, most of them awaiting hearings to determine their legal

status. Roughly half of the people who appear before immigration courts are ultimately permitted to stay in the United States. “I went from making $15 an hour as a chef to $1 a day in the kitchen in lockup,” said Pedro Guzmán, 34, who was held for about 19 months, mostly at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Ga. “And I was in the country legally.” Guzmán was released in 2011 after the courts renewed his asylum visa from Guatemala, which had mistakenly been revoked. He has since been granted permanent residency. Federal officials said the work helped with morale and discipline and cut expenses in a detention system that costs more than $2 billion a year. “The program allows detainees to feel productive and contribute to the orderly operation of detention facilities,” said Gillian M. Christensen, a spokeswoman for the immigration agency.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees work in the kitchen at the West County Detention Facility in Richmond, Calif., earlier this month. The federal government relies on tens of thousands of illegal immigrants each year to provide essential labor — usually for $1 a day or less — at the detention centers where they are held when caught by authorities.

enough to cover his living costs. He stopped driving to work so he wouldn’t have to buy as much gas. “It’s a double-edge sword, in the sense that by our standards, these workers are tremendously exploited, but in Mexico this is a pretty good job,” Schrank said. “It beats the daylights out of operating a sewing machine all day.” Still, Dorado said he felt like an outcast in his home country. Even though he’s fluent in Spanish, he couldn’t keep up with schoolwork. His instructors treated him differently than they treated other Mexican students because he had a hard time understanding technical terms or even Spanish idioms, he said. And although he was born in Chihuahua, he lacked the proper documents to claim residency. He had to jump through many bureaucratic loopholes to prove he was a Mexican citizen, entitled to enroll in college and apply for a job. Having a good job also can be dangerous in Chihuahua, which has been plagued by drug

cartel violence and government corruption. Dorado said some of his co-workers were victims of attempted extortion from people who promised protection from cartels in exchange for money. Police did not take such reports seriously, he said. There also was friction between native Mexicans and deportees — who did not grow up there but were landing many of the middle-class jobs. Deportees often are vulnerable to shakedowns from people who think they are well-off, Schrank said. Fearing for his safety and missing his family, Dorado took a big chance earlier this year. He crossed the Mexican border with 150 other undocumented immigrants hoping to reunite with their loved ones. The action was organized by the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, a pro-immigrant group opposed to deportations. Dorado was detained for about a month while his asylum claim was reviewed and then released pending a hearing on his application. In late April, he was able to

rejoin his family in Albuquerque, at least temporarily, while he waits to hear whether the country where he grew up will grant him refuge. Ultimately, he will face an immigration judge, who will decide whether he can live in the U.S. or whether he will be deported back to Mexico. While he waits, Dorado plans to attend The University of New Mexico, where he had enrolled before his deportation, after graduating from Central New Mexico Community College. “I’m just happy to be back for now and see my family,” Dorado said. The chances of Dorado earning political asylum are slim, however, immigration lawyers say. Applicants must prove they are being persecuted on the basis of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the number of Mexican nationals applying for political asylum is growing, but few petitions are

granted. In 2004, out of 7,799 people who showed up at a port of entry asking for asylum, 79 were Mexican nationals. That number gradually increased in 2013 to 2,612, out of 36,026 people. But out of the 8,569 asylum petitions from Mexican nationals heard in immigration courts in fiscal 2013, just 155 were granted, according to Department of Justice figures. Dorado’s 21-year-old sister, who was with him when he was pulled over and taken away by immigration officials four years ago, said she’s relieved he was released from the detention center. “I could not have asked for another blessing. I’m a little worried they will take him from us again. I don’t know if my family would be able to go through the heartbreak again,” Rosalinda Dorado said. “But right now, we are enjoying him as much as we can.” Contact Uriel J.

GOP states scrutinize insurance enrollment workers By Randall Chase The Associated Press

DOVER, Del. — Republican lawmakers around the country are adding criminal background checks or licensing requirements for workers hired to help people enroll in health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, taking aim at perceived security risks involving customers’ personal information. More than a dozen GOPcontrolled states have passed legislation tightening requirements for the enrollment counselors, and bills in other states are pending. While the federal government does not require criminal background checks for navigators, states can set their own rules. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer last month signed a bill requiring licensing and background checks for navigators who help people buy health insurance on the federal marketplace. Republican proponents said the requirements will help protect consumers from identity theft. Louisiana’s legislature unanimously approved a similar measure with a Senate vote Tuesday. Still, there’s no sign that enrollment guides, even those with criminal records, have misused consumers’ personal information in any state. “I have no idea what’s motivating them, but I have seen efforts over the past few years to make Obamacare fall apart, and this may be part of that,” said Alfred Blumstein, a Carnegie Mellon University criminologist who has written about hiring ex-offenders.

Blumstein said that requiring background checks is reasonable, but cautioned that there should be no blanket prohibition against hiring people with criminal records. “To the extent that an individual got into a barroom brawl and was convicted of assault, that may likely not be a candidate for doing identity theft,” he said. While states continue to eye tighter restrictions, a federal judge has halted enactment of a Missouri law that required health care guides to be licensed by the state. District Judge Ortrie Smith said it “constitutes an impermissible obstacle” to the federal law and was thus preempted. Missouri officials are appealing that ruling. Even in states that require background checks, a criminal record often is not an automatic disqualifier. Meanwhile, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch is suing to force the Obama administration to release records regarding the awarding of navigator contracts. The group also is seeking records related to federal requirements for navigators. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said Americans have a right to know what systems are in place to protect their health care information from being misused. “Our concerns are the lack of transparency,” said Fitton, who believes the current process for choosing navigator entities involves “old-fashioned patronage and cronyism.” “I think the states need to put at least some system of background checks in place for navigators,” he added.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cheney, Christie are bad company ‘‘Y

ou know them by the company they keep.” This is often an unfortunate truth. Unfortunately, our governor keeps very bad company, in the persons of Dick Cheney and Chris Christie, who will attend her fundraiser in New Mexico as political “stars” (“Christie, Cheney stump for gov.,” May 16). Cheney, whose control of the White House made him the most harmful subversive ever to tread on U.S. soil, who was a major player in steering the U.S. government into lawlessness, and who remains unrepentant and unredeemed, is as bad a company as one can find among U.S. politicians. Christie oversaw a staff that was happy to seriously inconvenience hundreds of thousands of commuters for days, for the sake of political retribution. He is not as as bad as Cheney, but the combination strongly invokes both lawlessness and ruthlessness. One wonders if these would be characteristic of our governor during a second term.

Thank you, angels On behalf of La Familia Medical Center and the staff from our OB program, we would like to thank the Santa Fe Woman’s Club for hosting a baby shower to benefit newborns of La Familia. We especially would like to thank Carol Rose for organizing the event and luncheon. Adorable and delicate crocheted and knitted baby items, hand-sewn baby garments —270 pieces in total — were created and donated by women from a variety of groups including: The Friday Crochet & Knitting Group from the Mary Esther Gon-

zales Senior Center, the Prayer Shawl Ministry from the Rodeo Road Baptist Church, the Santa Maria de La Paz Sewing Angels and the Northern New Mexico Quilting Guild. Thanks to Bernice Pearl, who crocheted 39 gorgeous baby hats, and to Marlys White, who knitted 20 lovely baby sweaters. All who participated in the baby shower are truly angels, and we thank them for their generosity. Gloria Martinez

Yesterday’s news Rob Nikolewski’s piece in Sunday’s New Mexican about Bill Clinton puzzled me (“Bill Clinton: Too little, too late,” May 18). Monica Lewinsky’s article in the new issue of Vanity Fair has generated buzz in the gossip media, but what relevance does a 16-yearold Washington scandal have to issues we care about here in New Mexico? I lived through that period in Washington, and knew and still know most of the actors personally. I am not going to apologize for Bill Clinton’s personal conduct, but the piece was lazy and sloppy commentary, including a profound lack of understanding of the political roles played by, among others, Chris Hitchens. As we go forward, perhaps the “watchdog” might want to focus on issues important to New Mexicans rather than a subject about which

he has a surfeit of moral judgment but limited knowledge of the facts. “Racino” — the Albuquerque racetrack scandal, might be a start? Or mental health care? Or education? Or job losses? Or the efforts on the part of the Martinez administration to eviscerate the medical marijuana law? It is a target-rich environment. Please don’t waste our time on yesterday’s news when there are so many tomorrow stories. Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV (ret.)

Meat’s dangers Folks ready to fire up their outdoor grill on Memorial Day face a deadly choice of inflicting food poisoning or cancer on family and friends: food poisoning by E. coli and Salmonella bacteria, if they undercook the meat; cancer, if they heat meat to the point of creating cancer-causing compounds. Luckily, a bunch of enterprising food manufacturers and processors have met this challenge head-on by developing a great variety of healthful, delicious and convenient un-chicken, veggie burgers and soy dogs. These delicious plantbased foods don’t harbor nasty pathogens or cancer-causing compounds. They don’t even carry cholesterol, saturated fats, drugs or pesticides. And, they are available in the frozen food section at most supermarkets and natural food stores everywhere. Check out the array of alternative cheese and mayonnaise substitutes, delicious and cholesterol free, in the refrigerated section, too. This Memorial Day offers a superb opportunity to consign meat to a bad memory and make new memories by sharing wholesome veggie options that are better for you and your family and friends.

that our ancestors created during the Spanish colonial period, way before the Environmental Protection Agency. Because acequias also provided fresh drinking water, no acequia was to be contaminated by washing clothes, washing hides, etc., or any other source of detriment that might affect the community. And I must add, this included both Hispano and Indian communities, because they were both united by acequias. Fines were real in those early days instead of a slap on the wrist. If you take a hard look, realistically, where there is anything that grows and thrives in this land of water scarcity, it is along acequias.

In New Mexico, our earliest colonial acequia goes back to 1598 with the establishment of San Gabriel by Oñate’s settlers. In fact, one of the most important factors in establishing a community was the need and requirement that acequias be constructed to water fields for food. In this harsh yet beautiful land, our ancestors, both Hispanic and Native American, must be turning over in their graves when they see one more golf course and one more casino or one more development open. Every drop of water is precious and sacred for life. One can only question in this arid land where we lost the message. Maybe greenbacks are more important than green oasis. With climate change radically affecting our weather and our entire lives on this planet, it is going to take radical measures to curb our water abusers. Unfortunately, our politicians prefer to look the other way as long as the political contributions keep coming in. Orlando Romero is a historian and writer.

Liberal talk radio changes in Santa Fe

ans of KTRC, the liberal talk radio station in Santa Fe — and fans of liberal talk radio everywhere for that matter — have taken a couple of vicious blows in recent days On Thursday, syndicated radio host Ed Schultz — who promotes himself as “America’s Number One liberal talker” — announced that he’s quitting his threehour weekday radio show. The way he made it sound, he just wants to go fishing. However, Schultz said he’ll continue doing his weeknight television show on MSNBC and he’s going to start doing an hourlong audio show that will be available on his website. That was last week. Steve Terrell The week before that, another popular synRoundhouse dicated host, Randi Roundup Rhodes also called it quits. While the Rhodes departure was announced several weeks in advance, Schultz’s announcement even took his affiliates by surprise. “We just got the news ourselves,” said Scott Hutton, general manager of Santa Fe’s Hutton Broadcasting, told me Thursday. Hutton wasn’t sure what would replace Schultz’s show. When Rhodes left the airwaves, KTRC did some reshuffling of its schedule, moving Thom Hartmann’s show up to Rhodes’ 1-4 p.m. time slot and replacing Hartmann’s 4-7 p.m. slot with a guy named Norman Goldman. If every place had Santa Fe’s political leanings, Hutton observed, liberal talkers probably wouldn’t be dropping so rapidly. Hartmann has a following here. Hutton said several listeners were glad that his show is now live on KTRC (which means you’ll probably hear more people from Santa Fe calling in). This Goldman guy lost me, though. I tuned in a few nights ago, and the first thing I heard was Goldman not comparing the Republican Party to Hitler, but saying the Republican Party is Hitler. Perhaps a lot of profound political dialogue followed that, but I wasn’t listening. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle and the dial, right-wing host Sean Hannity’s show was dropped by his syndicator. So on KKOB in Albuquerque and many other stations across the country, Hannity was replaced by Michael Savage (who was fired by the pre-progressive MSNBC 11 ago for telling a gay man who had called his television show, “I hope you get AIDS and die”). To admit to a guilty pleasure, however, currently Savage is my favorite because he is so far out there. A woman I know, who is liberal, says she believes that Savage is actually some kind of parody of rightwing radio hosts — some kind of Stephen Colbert without the punchlines. I don’t believe that, but he’s the most consistently entertaining of any of them, left or right. I probably listen to political radio way different than most fans of the medium. To start with, when I’m in my car (almost the only time I actually listen to this stuff), I do a lot of flipping back and forth between left-wing (KTRC) and rightwing (KKOB). Usually, I change channels when the one I’m listening to gets dull. (Or the host calls someone a Nazi.) Sometimes, when there’s a hot topic, you can create some homemade comedy with your car radio. For example, in 2012, the day after the news of Mitt Romney’s “47 percent” video broke, both Rhodes and Hannity were frothing. Flipping between their stations made it sound like a shouting match was going on inside my car. Both broadcasters got more and more outraged by the minute. (My kids both are happy that they no longer have to depend on me for transportation.) Speaking of unintentional political comedy on the radio, a few weeks ago, Ed Schultz said something that nearly made me laugh so hard I nearly drove my car off the road. He got in an argument with a caller and said, “Well, you’re a fricking [expletive]. How about that? Get the [expletive] out of here! How about that? I’m sure they hit the seven-second delay on that one. … I hope that that didn’t go out. Did we catch that one? I need some direction. Did we catch that one? Yes or no?” The answer was no. I’m not sure whether that had anything to do with Schultz’s departure. Maybe the outburst was an indication he really does need to cut back on his hours.

Alan Webber: Dems’ best bet

ew Mexico Democrats should have but one goal in selecting a nominee to face Gov. Susana Martinez come November. They must decide which of five personable candidates can muster the necessary firepower to unseat the incumbent. And by firepower, we don’t just mean money, although money certainly matters. We are talking about Democrats selecting a candidate who demonstrates he or she can raise money, but one who also has concrete ideas, demonstrates passion for this state and can present a vision to move New Mexico forward. It’s not enough to win. The selected candidate should have the ability to govern. Because let’s face it, New Mexico is down in the dumps. We are last in the country in job creation. We are losing population, seeing some of the state’s best and brightest pack up and leave for good. We depend on federal dollars at a time when government budgets are shrinking, yet lack a strategy to revitalize private businesses. We seem unable to meet big challenges — whether improving education, stopping out-of-control police officers at both the state and local levels, serving our neediest citizens and, especially, bettering the lot of children. Despite what is essentially a crisis, New Mexico’s leaders remain passively on the sidelines as though they lack control to shape events. Yet action is what New Mexico needs, with initiatives from leaders who are bold, innovative and committed to the reality that New Mexico has greatness within it. Because despite the state’s problems, New Mexico remains a Land of Enchantment. Alan Webber, co-founder and publisher of Fast Company business magazine, believes in New Mexico. After selling the magazine, Webber chose New Mexico as his home base. He brings to his campaign a keen mind, a background spent developing policy at the city and national level, before he started his magazine, and the ability to get to the heart of a problem. Here’s why Alan Webber is the best bet for Democrats who want to beat Susana Martinez. Electability? Despite being nearly unknown six months ago, Webber has worked the state hard and persuaded the Democratic Party faithful that he can compete. Webber also has the most money. Some he loaned to himself, a signal that he is serious about this campaign. More came from friends from all over the state and nation, showing that he is a man that people trust — enough so that they donate hard-earned money to see him succeed. His potential to raise money in general can’t be overlooked. Ideas? Webber understands that New Mexico must improve. As a private entrepreneur, Webber built a business. He has signed both sides of paychecks. He is, in the flesh, what Republicans profess to love, a practicing capitalist, a business builder who believed in an idea and made it a reality. A business person — with contacts in the elite world of finance and business all over the world — can help New Mexico compete. Yet Webber is clear that New Mexico’s best successes will come from within, from ideas and people who are here. He believes a governor must encourage homegrown entrepreneurs. Passion? Webber says it best: “I didn’t move to New Mexico to run for office. I moved to New Mexico because I wanted to live the rest of my life here. I love the state.” What he doesn’t love is the current state of affairs. Vision? Here is where Webber shines. He understands that a state — our community, if you will — is only as strong as its weakest members. He has a vision of a kinder New Mexico, where poor children who lack basics at home get a helping hand through early childhood education. He knows standardized tests and unfair teacher evaluation systems aren’t going to improve education. His idea for New Mexico is not a place where citizens are pitted, one against another, but where we all pull together. In the Democratic primary for governor, The New Mexican recommends Alan Webber.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: May 25, 1914: Washington — Practically nothing may be recovered by those who lost relatives or baggage in the Titanic disaster, as a result of a decision by the Supreme Court. The court held that the liability of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co. against the $13 million in claims against it as owner of the Titanic is limited in the U.S. by the American limited liability law of 1851 to the value of salvage recovered and the freight and passage money received in the Titanic’s voyage. That amounts in all to $91,000. The decision in no way affects suits brought against the owners in other countries. May 25, 1964: Taos — The face on the barroom floor was the undoing of a burglar over the weekend, Taos law enforcement officials revealed Monday. The man was charged with grand larceny in connection with thefts of cash from La Fonda cafeteria and La Fonda bar late Friday night. Officers said that when they went to investigate they found a picture the robber had dropped of himself on the floor. The Albuquerque man had been in Taos three weeks seeking work and local residents had been able to identify him.

COMMENTARY: JOHN DICKERSON

VA scandal is the real deal WASHINGTON f you’ve ever been seriously sick or helped a family member who is, you know how dark it can get. In the hospital, you look to every doctor or nurse who throws back that curtain and punches the hand sanitizer machine as if they have the answer, but they don’t. This test or that test will tell us more, you’re told, or we’ll know more after one more bag is hooked up and drained. If you’re on a slower track, it’s just a gauntlet of appointments weeks away, tests on different floors or in different buildings, illegible return visit dates scribbled on little cards, lost parking tickets you can’t validate, endless pill trays (the clear one in the morning and the opaque one at night). This is what it’s like even if everything goes relatively smoothly and you get care: It’s scary and helpless. Now imagine if you experienced it with the inefficiency of the worst experience you’ve ever had with customer service. That’s what’s happening in some cases at Veteran Affairs clinics and hospitals around the country: People at their most acute moments of need are being ignored and forgotten. This is an outrage to be outraged about. But does anyone have faith that this outrage will be answered by serious action? One primary reason to despair is that we’re already living at peak outrage. Fake umbrage taking and outrage production are our most plentiful political products, not legislation and certainly not interesting solutions to complicated issues. We are in a new political season, too — that means an extra dose of hot, high stakes outrage over the slightest thing that

might move votes. How does something get recognized as beyond the pale when we live beyond the pale? What makes the VA scandal different is not only that it affected people at their most desperate moment of need — and continues to affect them at subpar facilities. It’s also a failure of one of the most basic transactions government is supposed to perform: keeping a promise to those who were asked to protect our very form of government. The growing scandal points out more than just incompetence. When the wait times were long and those promises were being broken to veterans, administrators then lied about it. It appears this was true across the country. If you want another injured party, it’s the angels at the VA — the doctors and nurses who work long hours and call you on their cellphone after dinner to answer questions that to you seem like the only thing in the world that’s important. This scandal is an offense to the people trying to keep their most basic promises, even though the system is tough, battered and bruised. Unlike some other debates, this one can’t be delayed by a conversation over whether caring for veterans is the proper responsibility of the federal government. But the political conversation is so caught up in the wasteful cycle of outrage, that this is simply being sorted as another thing to be angry about. The politicians are to blame for that fact, but so are we. Genuine outrage — sustained outrage — is required to move politicians. Every time we let politicians claim we’re facing another Watergate, or partisan pundits inflame us on Facebook, or Twitter trolls play on our

emotions, we spoil our ability to respond to the outrages that really matter. Obviously, given the level of incompetence at the Department of Veteran Affairs and the real costs of this scandal, we should demand more action from the president and the men and women who lead this department. Maybe Congress can move as quickly and in as bipartisan a fashion as they did when it seemed that sequestration might cause long airline delays. The pressure can’t be short-lived. Unlike the phony outrages that get addressed and forgotten, improving service at the VA is going to take time. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the VA was a more difficult bureaucracy than the Pentagon. We can also do something immediately to show our respect for the people being abused or neglected. The VA scandal should temper the faux outrage we project on lesser matters. As FDR said, the public cannot “be attuned for long periods of time to a constant repetition of the highest note on the scale.” If we are constantly yelling outrage, it leaves us with nothing when the real thing comes along. In this time of political purity tests, let’s require a purity test for the constant state of alarm. The next time someone turns their meter up to 11 — whether it’s a politician, a pundit or your aunt on Facebook — their outrage should be measured against what has already happened at the VA.

COMMENTARY: REBECCA SCHUMAN

Academic freedom matters – even for jerks ST. LOUIS ike Adams is a tenured associate professor of criminology at the University of North CarolinaWilmington. He is also a regular contributor to TownHall.com, and the author of such august tomes as Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts ‘Womyn’ on Campus and Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel. He seems to me, in his public writings and attitudes, to be a virulently rightwing jerk. Mike Adams is also extraordinarily popular among students, and he has many peer-reviewed scholarly publications. Nonetheless, Adams’ application for promotion to full professor in 2006 was allegedly denied on the basis of his public engagement. Despite my distaste for Adams’ dumb ideas about feminism, diversity and homosexuality, I’m glad that Adams sued the university, and am delighted that last month he won, in an important ruling that (for now) preserves a vestige of academic freedom in this country. For although I find his views as repugnant as many found the anti-NRA tweet of University of Kansas professor Don Guth (whose kerfuffle resulted in one of the most restrictive social-media policies in all of academia), Adams’ spirited public engagement should have helped, rather than hindered, his bid. There’s precious little academic freedom left (what with fewer than 10 percent of American professors currently enjoying tenure) — but it sure as hell should include the freedom to be a schmuck. (An email to Mike Adams seeking comment, and to confirm or deny said schmuckitude, was not returned.) Adams’ TownHall bio boasts the classic young-lefty-sees-the-light creation myth — a “light” that shone brightest in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when he responded to a lengthy and pained diatribe emailed to the entire UNC-Wilmington faculty by student Rosa Fuller. Both emails — full copies of which were provided to me by the nonpartisan Foundation for Individual Rights in Edu-

cation, or FIRE — are hopped up on the visceral emotion and overblown historical self-importance you might recall from your own communications in the final months of 2001. The student launches into an extended litany of U.S. misdeeds in the Muslim world; Adams responds, “The Constitution protects your speech just as it has protected bigoted, unintelligent, and immature speech for many years.” The back-and-forth was apparently forwarded to every Fox News-watching uncle in the nation, and a gleefully selfavowed “anti-diversity” celebrity was born. The book deals soon followed, the Web presence grew, and when it came time for Adams to apply for what academics call promotion to capital-F Full, he included his record of public engagement in his portfolio. For when a scholar has — in addition to teaching and publishing the requisite three-audiencemember research — dedicated himself (or herself, as Adams would hate me reminding you) to discourse with the public, that can count as intellectual service to the university and community, especially at a nonflagship public institution such as UNCW. Alas, Adams’ committee was, apparently, unimpressed with “service” that included a book with a chapter cheekily titled, Behind Every Successful Man, There’s a Fat Stupid Woman, and the rest is history. What is particularly important about this case is that, according to the legal finding, it was the “speech activity” of Adams’ public-engagement material submitted — and not, say, a tweet fired off (too soon?) in his capacity as a private citizen — that prevented Adams’ promotion. This excerpt of the opinion on Eugene Volokh’s blog gets to the heart of why the case matters: [T]he plaintiff’s speech activity [was] a substantial or motivating factor in the defendants’ decision to not promote the plaintiff, [and] the defendants [would not] have reached the same decision not to promote the plaintiff in the absence of the plaintiff’s speech activity. I find every sentence Mike Adams

writes to be abhorrent. (“The institution [of heterosexual marriage] is good. It tames men. It protects women. It is good for children. Therefore, it is worth promoting.”) But who are we to rule him unworthy of a place in the public discourse, which is all he endeavored to prove by submitting his portfolio? Indeed, the outcome of Adams v. Trustees of the University of North CarolinaWilmington is a striking and unexpected victory for academic freedom in its final throes. Greg Lukianoff, the president of FIRE and author of Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate, tells me that the ruling is especially sweet in light of the 2006 Supreme Court case Garcetti v. Ceballos, in which a 5-4 majority opinion (written by Justice Anthony Kennedy) asserted that a public employee’s speech was not protected by the First Amendment if that speech pertained to his or her job. What troubled free speech advocates — and academic-freedom watchdogs in particular, Lukianoff says — is that Garcetti contained no provision about public-university professors, whose every word or idea could be construed as pertaining to their jobs. With Adams v. Trustees, organizations such as FIRE, the American Association of University Professors, and the American Civil Liberties Union are relieved that Garcetti, as Lukianoff says, has been “put back in its place,” setting legal precedent for a narrower circumscription that preserves what’s left of academic freedom — for now. In fact, the Supreme Court is downright “disconcerted” about the implications of the earlier Garcetti ruling (even Scalia!) — as apparently, and horrifyingly, it can apply to true court testimony under oath, for which an Alabama public official was fired! Thus, it’s possible the court may use the upcoming ruling in the Alabama official’s case, Lane v. Franks, to circumscribe Garcetti further. Now if only any professors ever got tenure again, we’d be set. Rebecca Schuman is an education columnist for Slate.

MY VIEW: CHARLES PADILLA

1946: A journey home to the Mora Valley I t was late in the year when the burials began, and they continued for the rest of that year and later. For many weeks there were seven, in others, three, and occasionally, only one. For those who died, this was their homeland, their home place, and news of their deaths had arrived much earlier. It was only later when the caskets and bodies began to arrive. It was 1946, and the war had ended. It is said that death waits for no man, but for each, it was a lonely experience, a man being moved from his death place to his birthplace. At home, death was no longer the news, but that a loved one, a cherished son, was coming home again. While death brought to mind the calling, whether for God or country, it also brought a sense of close, that a terrible thing had happened and now, somehow, the family could begin to move on. The women looked on draped in black shawls, and the men, hatless, turned their faces to the sun. Three men returned from war. They began to attend the funerals, and they made a pledge to attend them all, as veterans. They traveled to small cemeteries that now would have a white granite stone, so out of place amongst the wooden crosses from before. In any given week, they went to Monte Aplanado, to Ledoux, to Mora, to Chacon, to Guadalupita, to Rainsville, and to Ojo Feliz and San Antonio, Holman and Gascon. My father was one of these men, and he traveled with his friends, Manuel and Candelario. The soldiers began to arrive from Belgium, from France and then from the Far East, and the three men would take positions together, salute a fallen comrade and then help to shovel dirt into the graves. I never knew about my father’s service to his community or his role in the repatriation of the war dead. I took it for granted that the American Legion had always been there, but I learned that there was a time when it

was not, and that three friends gave their time and service, in an exercise that was not only proper but exceedingly kind. It seems a terrible and lonely journey from France to Mora, a beautiful valley that had always been called home. Innocence is a word that fits, because it conveys a faith in birth, in the rains and crops, and the goats, sheep and cows, and back to faith again. But innocence also bridges the gap between here and there. It brings to mind that there is a time for all of the seasons, all of what we live for, and finally, to die. I can only imagine the heart tear on learning the news, and the hole that kept on growing until the rest was at peace and at home, and the heart hole could begin to mend again. For Amadeo Padilla, Manuel Alcon and Candelario Lucero, all three men from Mora, they saw this as the highest calling, accompanying a family in the final walk, saluting and then walking away. Candelario’s father owned a bar, and after each funeral, they would invite themselves to a drink in memory, and the drink was always on the house. Here, along with others, they began to talk about the American Legion, a beloved affiliation that would last the rest of their lives. Today, those granite markers have outlived the wooden crosses in the cemeteries surrounding the communities of Mora. Some graves lay unmarked and silent, and it is as if those who died at war now sit watch over those that welcomed them home. (The three men and others that followed joined the American Legion in 1948 and became community leaders of Mora. In years following 1946, the three attended more than 70 funerals.) Charles Padilla is a native of Mora and is the son of longtime and prominent Mora barber, Amadeo Padilla, who passed away in 2003 at age 88. Charles is a graduate of New Mexico Highlands University, class of 1974. He has been associated with Northwestern Mutual for 42 years. He resides in Santa Fe.

Memorial Day’s shadows, for the child and the man

nce upon a time as an impressionable child, I stood on a street curb and watched a Memorial Day parade headed by a Civil War veteran. He was slight, white-haired and bearded, but walked erect and straight. Little else of that moment is recalled, but the image has remained in my mind for years, and I’ve often wondered why. Was it because a parent had commented about his advanced age, because I’d never known or seen any elder of such weathered bearing, or like most small boys circa 1930, I’d been intrigued by family tales of World War I, the aerial dogfights of films such as Wings, the popular songs that romanced “the war to end all wars”? Was it an irrepressible sadness that I yet believe I saw in that image? Now I’m there, a World War II vet often approached by young strangers awed at the vintage of this man on a cane, asking if he needs help. Scheduled to be on this spring’s Northern New Mexico Honor Flight to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., I’m anxious to learn how the other 25 peers booked for the trip are faring. Will we share not only physical setbacks but wonder at the changes, particularly in our own country, since the victory in Europe and the Pacific? Will we reflect any of the boyhood memories of what I saw in the eyes of the Civil War vet? Perhaps the beginning of a new millennium with the tragedy of 9/11 is what disheartened us most, we who believed we’d spared the U.S. — at least for our lifetimes, if not longer — the invasions, desolation and horrors seen on foreign shores. If reluctant to look back and consider the past better than the present, can we avoid the fact that our countrymen are sorely divided, bitterly

partisan, trusting little policies domestic or international espoused by polarized politicians. Rationale argues that it’s perhaps always been this way, nothing new under the sun. But with pundits constantly hawking societal ills, exposing administrative deceptions and confirming beliefs that the nation is in decline, it’s tempting to remember our post-war world of the mid-20th century as one of U.S. supremacy and global respect. Three years ago, while visiting the Ligurian coast, I met an American who’d been in the landings at Salerno, battled at Cassino and had now established residence in Italy. Like most men from the Band of Brothers, we quickly recognized each other as comrades and rapport was instantaneous. He told me he no longer felt comfortable in the country he’d fought for, was alien to its fractured society, felt betrayed by Washington. He hoped for, and believed he was finding, a more gracious way of life in Europe to spend his final years. My attempt at debate was a failure. I am much appreciative of New Mexico’s Williamson Foundation’s cooperation with the Honor Flight network to sponsor trips to the memorial for the region’s World War II veterans. No doubt it will prove the last hurrah for some who venture forth, but what a hurrah — to see the tribute, long in coming, on the National Mall honoring those who served from every state in the union. I fully intend to invoke that childhood image of the Civil War vet, and to remember his monument, Gettysburg, as well as all the other memorials scattered across our land since 1776.

Commissioners to decide the fate of La Bajada mesa

he Institute of American Indian Arts believes that Santa Fe Indian Market plays a critical role in the life of New Mexico’s Native arts and cultures. As the largest and most successful venue for Native arts and culture in the country, Indian Market has created an event where thousands of Native American and Alaska Native artists have showcased their art. Art sales have creRobert ated a steady Martin stream of income for those artists and their families, and the market also has an immense economic impact for Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. We also support the many Native artists who exhibit and sell their art in galleries, museums, hotels and other venues not officially part of Indian Market. We appreciate that these other venues have been created, and they clearly benefit the artists and the Santa Fe community. But we keep in mind that Southwestern Association for Indian Arts originally provided the framework for these expanded opportunities for all of us. Representatives from SWAIA and IAIA met recently on our campus to discuss the ways in which we can increase our support and promotion of Native arts and cultures. We affirmed our memorandum of understanding, which provides a formal framework for program collaboration and mutual services in support of SWAIA artists, many of whom are also IAIA alumni, faculty, staff and current students. In addition to economic impact, Indian Market serves an important social and cultural role as many of the artists, visitors and locals reunite and gather with friends, relatives, family and professional colleagues. Also, many Native organizations schedule meetings during market week in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and the local pueblos. We do so ourselves. IAIA holds our annual scholarship benefit dinner on Wednesday of market week at La Fonda, and we have sold out for the last several years. More than $1 million has been raised for our students. This scholarship funding makes a huge difference because financial hardship is the No. 1 reason given by our students for failing to complete their program of study. IAIA will continue to strengthen and increase our support and collaboration with SWAIA. As in the past, IAIA will co-host the State of Native Arts Symposium on Friday, the Membership Breakfast in our museum’s Allan Houser Art Park on Saturday, and we are delighted to sponsor an IAIA alumni award. This year, we will jointly market SWAIA artists who also are our alumni. We also will sponsor other programs to strengthen SWAIA’s support of Native artists. As Indian Market celebrates its 93rd year in Santa Fe, we want to take this opportunity to thank the SWAIA board, staff and volunteers for their dedication and commitment to promoting Native arts and cultures. We are especially grateful for their diligent efforts in bringing this unique experience to Santa Fe each year. We ask the general public and the business community to join with us in support of Indian Market.

n June 11, the Santa Fe County Commission will hold a special meeting at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center to decide the fate of one of our most treasured and historic landmarks, La Bajada mesa. As readers may know from the extensive media coverage in March, La Bajada mesa is under threat of yet another gravel strip mine. The proposal before the county seeks to strip away 60 feet of this historic mesa’s basalt cap for gravel and base course. When speaking before the County Development Review Committee in March, county resident Jan Udell compared this proposal to scraping paint off the Mona Lisa to reclaim the oil it holds. A compelling comparison. The destruction of a masterpiece for paltry short-term gain is exactly what is at stake here. How paltry? The applicants claim the mine will create seven jobs and generate $125,000 in gross receipts tax. As insignificant a benefit as that may seem for the destruction of this iconic mesa, a leading economist believes it is much worse. By his calculations, the economies of scale of a large operation such as this would undercut existing mines, cost jobs and deliver little benefit to anyone but the mine owners. Competitive pressures would likely cost more jobs in existing operations than the new mine would create. Plus, since there is no unmet demand for gravel, a new mine would simply generate little or no net new tax receipts. The county has no need for additional gravel and, in fact, already produces a surplus supply. Nor do the property owners have any right to mine this iconic mesa. The land, like most of the properties around, is zoned residential/ agricultural. Its owners have every right to use their land as allowed under that zoning.

But they do not have the right to literally blast the mesa to bits and haul it away, as though it had no significance in New Mexico history, no prominent place in our landscape and no special place in the hearts of thousands of residents. Because they lack the right to mine, the applicants are asking county commissioners to establish a new mining zone on their property. One needs simply to drive through Tijeras on Interstate 40 to understand the implications of such a request. Industrial-scale mining has enormous impacts on the environment, on the landscape and on the quality of life for miles beyond the footprint of its operations. While the property owners themselves would certainly benefit from a preferential zoning change, the rest of us would lose. What the applicants promise is 25 years of blasting, grinding, night lighting and blowing dust on what was once a historic vista with pristine grasslands and migratory wildlife. For the next quarter-century, our gateway entrance to Santa Fe and the Galisteo parklands would be nothing more than another industrial eyesore. And when the active destruction is done, we’d be left with another irreparably scarred landscape whose former glory is all but gone. Your last chance to have a say in what happens to La Bajada mesa is at 4 p.m. June 11, at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, 201 W. Marcy St. If you believe the county needs to preserve the things that make Santa Fe special, your commissioners need to know. You can help save La Bajada mesa.

MY VIEW: JOHN WERTHEIM

Governor must It’s not a lie if the action happened stop changing ‘‘L the subject W

hat does Gov. Susana Martinez do when voters start asking about her record over the past three-plus years? She changes the channel. She and her Republican henchmen want the election to be about anything other than her record of bringing our state down to the bottom of national rankings for job growth, or driving New Mexico to dead last in the country for child well-being (My View: “Alan Webber doesn’t respect us,” May 20). I’m not a politician. I’m an entrepreneur and a first-time candidate. My experience is helping small and medium-size businesses grow. As a candidate for governor, I expect distractions and political attacks — although they are what’s wrong with politics in America. Unfortunately, when she makes this crucial election about anything other than the real issues, New Mexico loses. We need to address solutions that work for the people of New Mexico. When it comes to our economy, for instance, tea party conservatives have old, outdated ideas. Martinez and her right-wing Republican allies still believe in trickle-down economics. The fact is she has no idea how to create good jobs — which is why New Mexico has actually lost 5,900 jobs since April 2013. Martinez also belittles equal pay for equal work for women. When conferring with her staff about New Mexico’s Commission on the Status of Women, she said, “What the hell does a commission on women’s Cabinet do all day long?” This important agency was created in 1973 — and has been supported by every governor since — to improve health, pay equity and safety for women. When her deputy campaign manager joked that a fellow male employee wanted to run the commission so he could “study more women,” Martinez burst out laughing. As governor, she

line-item vetoed the commission’s entire budget. Martinez and her Republican allies have no idea how to improve our public education system. They’d rather adopt the Koch brothers’ agenda of privatizing our schools and replacing learning with testing for our kids. Martinez doesn’t even understand the hard work that teachers do for our children. About teachers, she said: “During the campaign, we can’t say it, I guess, because it’s education, but … they already don’t work, you know, two-and-a-half months out of the year.” Can she truly represent educators in our state after expressing such contempt for them? The path to New Mexico’s future can be different. I’ll make sure every child in our state has access to early childhood education. I’ll center our economic development policies on the small and medium-sized businesses that are right here in New Mexico — the keys to stable, diverse and sustainable economic growth. I’ll support our entrepreneurs, raise the minimum wage and invest in solar and alternative energy. These are sound steps toward a bright future for New Mexico. These are the issues we should be debating, the ones I hear about from New Mexicans across the state. Let’s talk about how to address New Mexico’s pressing problems, rather than stoop to the “gotcha politics” of Karl Rove, the Koch brothers and Gov. Martinez’s political henchmen. Instead of playing politics, we should be concerned about the plight of New Mexico’s children, and the futures of the talented young people who are leaving the state because there aren’t opportunities for them here. New Mexicans deserve better, and our children’s future depends on it.

ie” is an ugly word. But sometimes, the truth is even uglier. In an article in The New Mexican, reporter Milan Simonich said that a statement about my opponent in one of my campaign ads “could be regarded as a lie” (“State treasurer’s race heats up with attack ads,” May 20). I, however, stand by my ad. Because this is a situation where the truth is ugly. My opponent in the race for the Democratic nomination for New Mexico treasurer, Tim Eichenberg, in 2010 as a state senator, moved to kill a bill that would have allowed domestic partnerships in New Mexico. It’s that simple. Even The Santa Fe New Mexican’s Steve Terrell reported at the time that Mr. Eichenberg’s actions were “bad news” for the domestic

partnership bill. Indeed, it was widely understood — and reported at the time — that Mr. Eichenberg’s moving to John have the bill Wertheim referred to the Senate Finance Committee would kill any hope for the legislation. Yes, it is true that Mr. Eichenberg voted for the domestic partnership bill in 2009. Indeed, that is what makes this truth so ugly. It was only a year later that he turned his back on the core Democratic value of equality and killed the domestic partnership bill. At the time of Eichenberg’s actions, he told the Albuquer-

New solutions needed for New Mexico

ew Mexico resides on the wrong end of just about every list that matters. Our poverty rate, education results and economic recovery put us on the bottom nationwide. This is true even though we have history and culture going back centuries, abundant natural resources and a workforce that wants to go back to work. Our neighboring states experience economic recovery while we languish at the bottom, even though we share the same geographic area. Something is clearly broken. Since Eisenhower’s first term, the New Mexico House of Representatives has been

under the control of one party. That party tends to support solutions that favor government programs or Geoff agencies over Rodgers the private sector. No one has a monopoly on good ideas. I do believe in seeking a balance, which is clearly missing from New Mexico. That is a main reason we lag so far behind our neighbors and the rest of the country. We need a Legislature that puts private investment and the

No one has a monopoly on good ideas. I do believe in seeking a balance, which is clearly missing from New Mexico private sector at the forefront of job creation. We cannot legislate jobs from the Roundhouse. When people look to invest somewhere or move a company, they look at school systems and look for an educated workforce. The best way to improve our education system is to ensure we have effective teachers in the classroom. That means we have to provide the resources for teachers

and schools, treat teachers as the professionals they are, and reward our best teachers for a job well done. I will work with and listen to everyone addressing these and the other challenges New Mexico faces.

Prosecutor seeks to reopen Vigil-Giron fraud case Request spotlights costs to fight public corruption By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

A special prosecutor representing the state in a fraud and embezzlement case against former Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron filed a final-hour motion last week asking the New Mexico Supreme Court to re-examine the case. Joseph E. Campbell says he asked the high court to reopen the case —

it had been dismissed by a District Court, and an appeals court upheld the decision in April — because there are still valid legal arguments to be made. But Vigil-Giron’s attorney, Robert Gorence, says Campbell is simply attempting to wring more money out of New Mexico taxpayers by pursing the meritless case. Campbell has billed the state more than $800,000 for his work since being appointed in July 2011. “Any rational prosecutor, one who serves the public interest and not himself, wouldn’t continue after four

judges [a District Court judge and a panel of three appellate court judges] have already said there is no case,” Gorence said Monday. “This renta-prosecutor has a financial motive to pursue this case even though the facts and the law are against him. It’s unprecedented and pernicious.” Campbell said recently that he and his co-counsel, Anthony Rivera, examined whether they had a legitimate issue to appeal or a chance of winning. “If not,” he said, “why waste everyone’s time?” But “after talking about it, kicking it around and doing some more

research,” he said, “we decided there was a legitimate issue for appeal.” Vigil-Giron — who now uses the name Vigil — served as secretary of state from 1987 to 1990 and from 1999 to 2006. In 2009, she was indicted by the state attorney general on 50 counts including fraud, money laundering and embezzlement. The charges stemmed from allegations that she mismanaged $6 million worth of federal money awarded to the state to encourage minorities to vote by spending only about $4 million of the money on ads for that purpose. According to Attorney General

Bernalillo-area residents move to halt crude oil offloading Town discovers company lacked special-use permit, business license By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

DROUGHT’S TOLL: The bone-dry marina at Heron Lake is shown earlier this month. This is the second year the marina has been completely dry. As of May 20, the reservoir was at 23 percent capacity, a level lower than last year. PHOTOS COURTESY TOM KELLOGG

No water in sight By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

or sailing fans like Tom Kellogg, the second year of a bone-dry marina at Heron Lake, due to drought, has been tough to watch. The reservoir’s waterline is barely visible from the docks, where sailboats and Hobie catamarans once floated. “Heron used to be the prettiest lake in New Mexico,” said Kellogg, who kept a 26-foot sailboat at the marina. “It was a ‘no-wake’ lake, which was perfect for sailors and fishermen. Over the years, we have spent many nights and weekends recreating on the lake and in the area. It makes me so sad to see Heron’s demise.” Like several reservoirs around the state, Heron is a shadow of its former self as drought imperils the state for the fourth consecutive year. As of May 20, the reservoir that serves as the centerpiece of Heron Lake State Park was at 23 percent capacity, a level lower than last year. Park staff attribute the decline to the drought and the lack of mountain snowpack that usually feeds the reservoir each spring. Almost the entire state is in some level of drought condition. More than 42 percent is now in exceptional to extreme drought, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday. The first three months of the year were the third driest on record for New Mexico. Reservoirs across the state are averaging about one-fourth of capacity. Many are lower. Some reservoirs were well short of capacity at the end of April — but still many times better off than they were last year at this time, thanks to heavy rains in September, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Santa Rosa, at 16 percent of capacity, was well over its average water level. Caballo, Cochiti, Costilla, El Vado, Ele-

More storms expected throughout weekend An ongoing storm continued to drop water on a drought–stricken New Mexico on Saturday, including Santa Fe. Jason Frazier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said since the first storm rolled through Thursday, the City Different had seen between 0.8 and 1.5 inches of rain, with the Santa Fe Municipal Airport

As Lamy residents fight to stop a company from offloading oil from trucks to train cars in their village, the town of Bernalillo ordered another company to cease pumping crude into train cars parked on a spur at a closed gypsum wallboard plant because it lacked a permit. Maria Rinaldi, the town’s planner, said Dallas-based NuDevCo Midstream needs a special-use permit to offload oil from trucks to train cars at the site. The oil is coming from wells in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico. The company already had filled several cars with crude before complaints from nearby residents alerted town officials. As it turned out, the company also lacked a business license from the town, which it subsequently obtained, according to Bernalillo Mayor Jack Torres. He and Rinaldi aren’t happy with how NuDevCo or the property owner, American Gypsum, have handled the situation. “I’m stunned that companies as big as American Gypsum and NuDevCo wouldn’t know to check with local authorities,” Torres said in a telephone interview. “Their claim that they didn’t know is an excuse, as far as I’m concerned.” “It is kind of hard to understand how a corporation this big totally ignored the local governing authority and regulations,” Rinaldi said by telephone. NuDevCo had worked for more than a year to find and establish a crude-oil transload site along the railway at Interstate 25 and N.M. 550, according to Steven McCain, vice president and general counsel of Marlin Midstream, a subsidiary of NuDevCo. The oil would be shipped to refineries.

phant Butte and Navajo reservoirs were all faring better than last year. Brantley Reservoir, at only 2 percent of capacity, was almost double the water level it had a year ago. A couple of reservoirs are so large that even when they are low, they still provide plenty of water for recreation. Elephant Butte Reservoir was at 17 percent of its capacity at the end of April. That still leaves 22 miles of boatable water for the hundreds of people pouring into Elephant Butte State Park for the Memorial Day weekend, said Beth Wojahn, public information officer for New Mexico State Parks. “I’m looking at people coming in droves right now,” said Wojahn,

who was volunteering at the park Friday. She said state parks were expecting more visitors than last year over the weekend. “Our state parks work really hard to provide recreation for visitors,” Wojahn said. “Yes, when lake levels are low, it hurts visitorship, but we focus on other areas, like hiking and camping.” While boaters may be fine with the lower water levels, farmers will be hurting. The Elephant Butte Irrigation District begins releasing irrigation water Sunday to hundreds of farmers. The district announced farmers will receive about 6 inches of water per acre total over the next two months.

recording about 0.94 inches. Frazier said the Los Alamos area received between half an inch to an inch of rain, and the Española area received about half an inch. Frazier said the eastern portion of the state has received the brunt of the storm. He said Roswell received 4.39 inches, setting a new record for the area. He said that’s the same amount the southern city might receive in a month. Frazier said storms would continue to pour water in the area throughout the Memorial

Day weekend. On Sunday, he said, there is a 40 percent to 50 percent chance of rain, and Monday’s chances would be slightly lower. Storms could bring more lightning and thunder, Frazier said, adding that the storms would likely develop during the afternoon. On Friday, an afternoon thunderstorm battered the City Different and likely disabled electricity to 10,000 residents for about two hours

The New Mexican

A Santa Fe Buddhist man who had clashed with his homeowners association for the right to display prayer flags outside his south-side home says he finally has prevailed in the battle, which he calls a fight for his religious rights. “It took a long time,” Tenzin Palden Digkhang said late last week. “I’ve been fighting this for the past three months — every time I got a fine letter or a bill. But at the end, it feels great to have it resolved.” Digkhang, who works in information technology with the state Health Department, had contacted The New Mexican in an email about his dispute with the Colores Del Sol Homeowners Association. He said he’d hung the prayer flags shortly after he purchased his Centex home in the Colores Del Sol subdivision in June 2012. For nearly two years, the flags — multicolored squares of fabric printed with sacred mantras also called lungta — fluttered in the breeze without incident. But on Feb. 18, Digkhang wrote, he got a letter from the association telling him the flags violated the community’s design guidelines. Digkhang said he called community manager Helen Waters the next day, asking for the right to appeal, but he was told he had to take the flags down. Next, he tried to reason with the association in writing, sending an email explaining that the flags are flown to promote peace, compassion and wisdom.

Funeral services and memorials

Empty oil tankers leased by Dallas-based NuDevCo Midstream are parked Friday on the property of a closed wallboard manufacturing plant near N.M. 313 in the town of Bernalillo. CLYDE MUELLER/THE NEW MEXICAN

Oil: Company later applied for permit Continued from Page C-1 “That [Bernalillo] site, because of rail, refinery, oil producer and trucking distance considerations, is more favorable than many others, although the company has some other sites in New Mexico and other states in various stages of planning and development,” McCain said. The plan was to offload 1,000 barrels of crude oil a day at the site from local producers in the San Juan Basin and eventually increase operations to 4,000 barrels of oil a day, according to the company’s business plan. The company met with state Rep. Patricia Lundstrom, D-Gallup, and officials from Sandoval County about the site, McCain said. But apparently, no one told officials in Bernalillo, which actually has authority over the wallboard plant. “Unknown to us, the Mayor was inadvertently overlooked by the county people about attendance at that meeting,” McCain said in an email. “We did not catch that neither he nor anyone from the city was absent from that meeting and have apologized to him personally for that oversight.” Apparently, the companies also didn’t know they needed a special-use permit and a business license, according to the mayor. NuDevCo started offloading crude oil at the site May 1, filling about two train cars a day, McCain said in his email. Residents in the village of Llanito in neighboring Sandoval County live within a quartermile of the site and began calling town officials to complain. Tim Montoya of Llanito said he called county and town officials when he saw oil being pumped into train tanker cars at the site. Residents are concerned, he said, because their water comes from wells, and they don’t know what is involved with the oil offload. “How do we get rid of this nightmare next to us?” he asked. The town ordered work to stop May 7. McCain said he and other company officials met with the mayor, council members, fire safety officials and other town staff about the shutdown. “We firmly believe, based on comments and inter-

views of the inspector that issued the order, that the initial shutdown order on [May 7] was not enforceable,” McCain said. McCain claimed the company had moved the train cars from the site, but as of Friday, there were still empty cars waiting to be moved. The company later applied for a special-use permit. If the application is complete, the Bernalillo Planning and Zoning Commission will consider the request July 1. “From my perspective, there will be a lot of questions before we even get to the question of the permit,” Torres said. Torres said NuDevCo needs to do a lot more explaining of the oil transload project. He said town officials need to understand potential risks to the health and safety of residents, the impact on roads from heavy trucks, and the potential threats to groundwater. In August 2013, NuDevCo owner W. Keith Maxwell III announced an agreement with an unnamed company to buy a 28-acre industrial site near Albuquerque in Bernalillo County along the railroad, according to a company news release. “The industrial site to be acquired includes rail access and room for crude oil storage tanks and multiple transloaders,” the settlement said. The sale was expected to be completed by December 2013. The release didn’t say where the site was located. McCain said the company had chosen not to go through with the purchase. But the news release indicates why more crude oil offload sites are likely in New Mexico’s future. “San Juan is an underserved crude oil region with tremendous demand for value-added midstream services, especially crude transloading and storage services,” Maxwell said in the news release. Residents in Lamy and nearby communities, meanwhile, are continuing to fight a proposal by Pacer, a crude oil transport company, to establish an oil offload site at a railroad spur near the Lamy Depot. The site is owned by Santa Fe Southern Railway.

The Fort Union Drive-In Movie Theater in Las Vegas, N.M., one of only two left in the state, will open this summer, thanks to a Taos businessman. Felipe Cordova agreed to foot the bill for a digital projector for the drive-in.

Four killed in plane crash

SILVER CITY — Authorities say four people are dead after a small plane crashed near Silver City in southwestern New Mexico, including three students. Federal Aviation Administration officials say the singleengine plane went down Friday afternoon about one mile northeast of Whiskey Creek Airport and then burst into flames. State police have not identified the crash victims, but according to KOAT, three of them were students at the Aldo Leopold Charter school in Silver City, and one was an adult. It’s unclear if the crash was weather-related.

N.M. authorities capture fugitive ALBUQUERQUE — A man accused of trying to kill his estranged wife in Albuquerque was captured during a traffic stop in Bloomfield after spending the last 26 months on the run from authorities. The U.S. Marshals Service says Hugo Banda was arrested Friday after being pulled over by a San Juan County sheriff’s deputy. Authorities say Banda punched and stabbed his estranged wife in March 2012

when she offered to give him a ride in her vehicle. Banda also is accused of hitting his estranged wife with the vehicle after she broke free from his grasp and ran away.

Settlement OK’d for abused kids ALBUQUERQUE — A $9 million settlement has been approved in a lawsuit that alleged social workers in Washington state knew six abused children were in danger but failed to notify New Mexico authorities after their parents moved them there. The Albuquerque Journal reported that a judge in Snohomish County, Wash., approved the settlement Friday in the case against Washington’s Child Protective Services and Department of Social and Health Services. The parents are now serving prison sentences for the abuse. A spokesman for the Washington Department of Social and Health Services says the settlement isn’t a concession that the department should have taken additional steps to notify New Mexico authorities. A trust will be established for the children, and experts will help craft life care plans to address the trauma.

Flags: Board opts to grant man a variance Continued from Page C-1 “It is believed the energy of the prayers and sacred mantras on the flags are blown in the window and will bring joy, happiness and good health to all that see them,” Digkhang wrote. He also explained the significance of the flags’ colors — red represents fire; green, water; and yellow, earth — and included pictures he’d taken of prayer flags flown at other houses in Santa Fe. But he continued to get violation notices and bills for the fines. During the exchange, he said, he received an email from Waters about the association’s design guidelines: Only U.S. flags, New Mexico state flags, nationally recognized military unit flags, New Mexico Indian nation flags or prisoner of war/ missing in action flags are permitted in the development. But Digkhang didn’t give up. “For me, being in a free country, if I can’t do something really simple like this, it would be really shameful for me,” he said. Digkhang was born in India after his parents fled Tibet during the Chinese occupation. They had witnessed the destruction of Buddhist monasteries and repression of religious rights. “I still have my uncles and first cousins in Tibet, and they don’t have any rights to say or do anything religious,” he said. Digkhang said he was prepared to take the issue to court, but he decided to try one more tactic before hiring an attorney. Last Monday, he contacted numerous media outlets about his fight to keep his flags. His story appeared in the Albuquerque

Journal and on the KOAT Channel 7 news. On Wednesday, Digkhang said, he got a call from the management company of the homeowners association, AAM, telling him the board of Colores Del Sol had decided to grant him a variance that would allow him to keep his prayer flags flying. On Thursday, he got a formal letter about the variance, saying it would be in effect as long as he owns the home. AAM President Amanda Shaw said Friday that after considering the facts of the case, the association board decided to grant Digkhang a variance. The flag policy has not been changed, she said, but the board could decide to modify it in the future.

Shaw said she couldn’t comment on the board’s decision, and no one from the board had commented by the close of the business day Friday. Digkhang said in addition to appearing in local media outlets, his story also was featured in the news magazine Tibet Today. “It was pretty cool,” Digkhang said. “One of my cousins who lives in India sent me the article.” Digkhang said he’s “thankful to be living in a free country” and for the things he can do, “as long as I follow the rules.” But he said he plans to eventually buy a different house, “where we don’t have to have all these cautions.”

Fraud: Prosecutor bills state $200K per year F I L T E R

Continued from Page C-1 judges were excused or recused themselves from hearing it. Vigil’s attorney argued that Attorney General King’s office should be disqualified from prosecuting the case because the office provided legal counsel to the secretary of state. That motion, and another in which Vigil requested her case be severed from those against her co-defendants, languished — one for about 18 months another for 21 months — before being heard, according to court documents. When 2nd Judicial District Court Judge Pat Murdoch granted Vigil’s motion to disqualify King in 2011, Murdoch ordered the Attorney General’s Office to appoint a special prosecutor in the case. Because King couldn’t legally make that appointment, District Attorney Kari Brandenburg in Albuquerque’s 2nd Judicial District took on the task. According to Brandenburg, Campbell, a former prosecutor who had worked in the First and 4th Judicial Districts, was the only qualified candidate who sought the contract. Campbell was appointed to the case in July 2011. In November 2012, three years after the indictment, 2nd Judicial District Judge Reed Sheppard granted Vigil’s motion to have the charges against her dismissed based on violation of her right to a speedy trial. Campbell appealed the dismissal to the New Mexico Court of Appeals, but the appellate court issued an opinion April 17 affirming Sheppard’s ruling. On May 19, the last day he could legally do so, Campbell filed a writ of certiorari asking the New Mexico Supreme Court to reconsider the facts of the case. In his writ, Campbell argues that a conflict exists between how the Court of Appeals ruled in its April decision and how the appellate court and the state Supreme Court have ruled in other cases related to speedytrial claims. Another item addressed in the writ is whether the Court of Appeals correctly considered the impact of a witness’s death in the case. King and Brandenburg both said Monday they exercise no

control over Campbell’s actions and that he is the sole decisionmaker when it comes to the case. King said his office pays Campbell’s bills and has included that cost — about $200,000 per year — as an item in his annual budget requests to the Legislature. “In these corruption cases, there continues to be value in sending the message that we are very serious about the trust

public officials have in public money,” King said last week. “If we had continued to do this case in house, it wouldn’t have cost the taxpayers any additional dollars because all of my prosecutors are on salary, and it would be one of the cases they are working on.” State charges against Vigil’s co-defendants in the case were dismissed, but Gutierrez and the Kupfers were convicted on related federal charges

Snowmelt raises flood concerns in Colorado Heat wave or rain could spike runoff By Dan Elliott The Associated Press

LYONS, Colo. — The pristine snow piled high in the northern Colorado mountains is beginning to melt, and officials worry that under the wrong conditions, it could unleash another ugly torrent through towns and farms still scarred by last autumn’s floods. After a wintry Mother’s Day storm, the snowpack is nearly 150 percent of the mid-May average on the slopes that feed the South Platte River, whose tributaries did some of the worst damage in the September floods. A heat wave or rainstorm could suddenly accelerate the runoff and send water gushing into flood-damaged streambeds

that might not be able to contain it, experts say. So far, the long-term weather outlook isn’t definitive. “Fifty-fifty, could be bad, could be good,” said Kevin Klein, director of the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, which began planning for the runoff almost immediately after September’s flood. Colorado’s spring runoff normally doesn’t cause floods, even though most of the state’s surface water is collected in a two-month frenzy of melting snow, said Nolan Doesken, the state climatologist. But some streambeds in northern Colorado are loaded with tons of sand and gravel swept down by the September floods, so they hold less water and are more likely to overflow, said Treste Huse, a National Weather Service hydrologist. There’s also some evidence

the water table remains high and the ground is still saturated in areas that flooded, experts said. That could send runoff rushing down canyons instead of soaking into the soil, and it could make hillsides susceptible to landslides and rock fall. The September floods killed nine people, and a 10th was killed during recovery operations. A storm backed into the mountains from the east and sat for days, pouring out rain that overwhelmed rivers far out on to the state’s eastern plains. Nearly 2,000 homes were damaged or destroyed; total damage was estimated at $2 billion. It was described as a once-acentury flood or even a oncea-millennium flood, but Klein said researchers are still unsure about where it fits in climate history. Cleanup and repairs were just getting underway when snow began to fall in the mountains.

Driven to write the truth ‘Outside’ editor, true crime author finds fresh angle on murders made famous by Capote By Milan Simonich

uuu

Destroying myths, revisiting history and examining overlooked angles all hold appeal for Alex Heard, a local author and editorial director of Outside magazine. PHOTOS BY JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

The New Mexican

ot many people work all day as an editor, then spend their nights writing a book. Alex Heard did it. His was not just any book, either, in which a streamlined topic or a fertile imagination would carry the author to publication after a few months of double duty. Heard, editorial director of Santa Fe-based Outside magazine, tackled a notorious 50-year-old criminal case in Mississippi. Fables, distortions and heavy spin cluttered the record, making Heard’s search for truth one of the more daunting true-crime books ever attempted, much less published. His book is The Eyes of Willie McGee, a title as haunting as the subject matter. McGee, a black man, was accused of raping a white housewife in 1945. The state of Mississippi executed McGee in a portable electric chair in 1951, after he had stood trial three times. Did McGee rape the woman? Heard is not sure. What is clear from his painstaking research is that two standards of justice existed in Mississippi. McGee was put to death for sexual assault, but a white man who raped a 5-year-old black girl in the same era and same general area received a prison sentence. The Eyes of Willie McGee, published four years ago by Harper, continues to generate interest, debate and attempts by others to find a definitive answer as to whether McGee committed the rape. Heard first learned of the case while he was a student at Vanderbilt University in 1979. His campus mentor, who had been a civil rights reporter, played an audio recording of McGee’s execution, as originally produced and broadcast by Hattiesburg, Miss., radio station WFOR. That account stuck in Heard’s head. In 2004, he decided to research and write a book on the case, setting the stage for what would become a life of 14-hour workdays. Perhaps Heard was following the slogan that Outside magazine prints on its covers. “Live bravely,” it says. Heard said research and writing took up most of his spare time from 2007 to 2009. His reporting on Willie McGee included several trips to Mississippi for interviews and to check court records. Back home, he also immersed himself in the project. “It’s fair to say that I worked most nights after work, from around 7 to 11 or 12, and probably around 90 percent of weekend days, both day and night usually. I guess I’m kinda a slow drafter, but it was also just plain difficult,” he said. Heard, 56, says he is equally comfortable crafting his own stories or poring over what others have written to try to hone it. “I must be a better editor than writer because that’s what I’ve ended up doing,” he said. At Outside magazine, the story that now has his attention is one of international consequence. It will

Heard’s book, The Eyes of Willie McGee, about the 1945 rape of a white woman in Mississippi and the eventual execution of the black defendant, still sparks debate four years after it was published.

LEFT: Heard’s files for his next big project, a new look at the In Cold Blood murders in Kansas and how one investigator was overlooked by Truman Capote.

examine the lives and deaths of 16 Nepalese Sherpa guides, killed in an avalanche on Mount Everest. Outside plans a summertime publication of its piece. Nonfiction storytelling interested Heard at an early age. His upbringing was split between Mississippi and Garden City, Kan., where his family moved when he was in ninth grade. The climate in the Heard household encouraged intellectual curiosity. “My dad was a big reader and history buff, though his profession was M.D. He was a pathologist. He had two books that I pulled down from his shelves in high school that made a big impression on me back then,” Heard said. “One was In Cold Blood. The other was called Three Lives for Mississippi, William Bradford Huie’s account of the famous murder of three civil rights workers in central Mississippi in 1964. “Dad was doing autopsies at the hospital where they were brought in after they were found, the University Medical Center in Jackson. Fortunately, he was off duty that night, but he was very interested in the case.” Heard said both books demonstrated the power of well-crafted stories rich with details. “I didn’t think about it quite that way at the time, of course. It was more like just ‘wow!’ ” Because Heard went to high school in southwestern Kansas, he would have heard a good deal about the murders in 1959 of four members of the Clutter family, even if his father had not owned a copy of In Cold Blood, Truman Capote’s best-

seller about the case. Heard recently returned to Kansas to speak at events at his high school. The trip afforded him the opportunity to start pursuing a story about an important figure in the Clutter murders who was largely overlooked by Capote. Heard plans to delve into the role that Garden City’s assistant police chief, Richard Rohleder, played in building the evidence against two parolees who eventually were convicted in the murders. Both men were hanged. Capote chose a protagonist other than Rohleder for his book, portraying a detective from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation as the key figure in solving a tragic case. Heard said revisiting the case and Rohleder’s contributions has the makings of a good story. “I’ve found one of his sons, who is very eager to help and has been sending me good stuff, including a rather abusive, funny telegram that Truman Capote sent when Rohleder retired in the early ’70s. This makes it clear that Capote definitely held a grudge against him,” Heard said. Destroying myths, revisiting history and examining overlooked angles all hold appeal for Heard. After 34 years in the news business, he still is ready to go many extra miles for a story. Contact Milan Simonich at 986-3080 or msimonich@sfnewmexican.com.

PERFECT ATTENDANCE: Amadeus F. Gurule graduated from E.J. Martinez Elementary School without missing a single day in seven years. COURTESY PHOTO

Amadeus F. Gurule, 12, who just completed his sixth-grade year at E.J. Martinez Elementary School, where he attended since kindergarten, achieved what most students will never accomplish — he never missed one day of school, or even one hour, in the seven years he attended. If you were to ask him why he has never missed a day, his family says, his response would probably be, “First of all, we don’t miss school at our house, and I like going to school so I can hang out with my friends.” He follows in the footsteps of his older brother, who achieved perfect attendance at the end of his elementary years in 2006. Amadeus will be attending seventh grade at St. Michael’s High School in the fall. Outside of school, he is always quite busy and excels at basketball, baseball and football. His parents are very proud of his accomplishment and his ability to stick with it for so long. His mother, Melissa, says, “We are really proud of Amadeus. He is a great kid and deserves recognition for his accomplishment. He has never even asked to stay home, so it’s been easy to help him achieve this goal.”

Galveston, Texas, offers free events By Kristin Finan The Associated Press

GALVESTON, Texas — Galveston has always been one of my favorite Texas destinations because of the way it manages to maintain a lowkey, beach-town vibe while also offering big-name attractions for family fun. Want to relax? Rent a surrey (those brightly colored bikecart hybrids you see people pedaling) and cruise the seawall. Need speed? Test out any of the heart-stopping rides on the Pleasure Pier. Traveling on a budget and looking for some ideas that won’t cost you a cent? Galveston — which is near Houston and about 3½ hours from Austin — also has you covered. Here are some of my favorite free things to do in Galveston, which I discovered during a visit there earlier this month.

Tree sculpture tour When life gives you a hurricane, make art. At least that’s the philosophy of a group of Galveston homeowners who decided to turn trees ravaged by 2008’s Hurricane Ike into ornate sculptures. As you travel the island, expect to find everything from the historical (a replica of the figurehead from the island’s famous Tall Ship Elissa) to the whimsical (a pod of dolphins with a mermaid). Kids will appreciate recognizable items such as a guitar, a squirrel and even SpongeBob SquarePants. “What I like is the reaction of the people,” said Earl Jones, a Galveston artist who has created about 20 of the tree sculptures in the area. “I like doing something that people get enjoyment out of. Not only that, but on occasion I have a chance to relay messages of hope, of peace and of love. It’s a great outlet for me. I get a lot of satisfaction out of it.”

LIFE OF THE STRAWBERRY Saturday, May 31st at 5 pm In 1714, French spy and map-maker, Amédée-François Frézier encountered a white strawberry – the size of an egg – in the market of Conception, Chile. Having never seen such a fruit, he bought several plants and carefully kept them alive with a ration of fresh water during the two-month journey back to France. Five plants survived and were distributed throughout the country but most never bore fruit. One, however, cross-pollinated with a small red variety and gave birth to the plump red strawberries we enjoy today. Come on a journey to the central Chilean mountains to see the original white varieties that are still grown as they have been for generations. Then visit the modern strawberry capitol of Europe, Plougastel, France where the production of this fruit is now almost entirely – under cover.

Warm ocean breezes. Rolling waves. A dolphin’s dorsal fin gliding out of the water. There’s nothing like seeing Galveston by boat. But if you’re short on funds or traveling with children or others who may not be willing to sit still for a dolphin tour, simply hop on the Galveston Island Ferry to Bolivar. Regularly scheduled ferry service between Galveston and Port Bolivar started in 1929 and has been operated by the state since 1934. It takes about 20 minutes to make the 2.7-mile one-way trip, which is plenty of time to get out of your car and take in the views. Once you arrive in Bolivar, you can sight-see there or turn

back around and board the ferry for the return trip. The service is offered 24 hours a day.

Sea turtle tour If you love sea turtles — and really, who doesn’t love sea turtles? — schedule a visit to the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Galveston Sea Turtle Facility, which offers free tours by appointment on Thursdays. Visitors will watch a video about research being done there, participate in a question-and-answer session and then walk through the facility to check out captivereared loggerhead sea turtles. Tour space is limited through the summer. Visit www.galvestonlab.sefsc.noaa.gov.

Taffy making La King’s Confectionery dates back to 1927, when Jimmy King learned how to make “Old World” candy in Houston. In 1976, his son, Jack, moved to Galveston and recreated an old-fashioned confectionery in the historic Strand District. These days, it’s a must-visit destination thanks to its working 1920s soda fountain, delicious handcrafted shakes, homemade candy and saltwater taffy, which you can watch being made in store Wednesday through Sundays. After a free hourlong taffymaking demonstration, made using antique equipment, guests receive samples. Visit www.lakingsconfectionery. com for more information.

Movie night No visit to Galveston is complete without spending some time in the historic Strand District, which is filled with shops, museums and restaurants. Start the day at the Railroad Museum, which is not free but fairly cheap ($8 for adults, $5 for children, free for children 3 and younger) and offers everything a train enthusiast could want, from detailed model train layouts to diningware displays. On Saturdays, the museum also offers train rides every 20 minutes between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. ($4, www.galvestonrrmuseum. com). After a fun-filled day exploring, head to Saegerfest Park, which hosts Movie Night on the Strand on the first Saturday of the month. It’s a great excuse to grab a blanket or lawn chairs and take in a free family-friendly flick. Upcoming movies include Miracle, Rocky and Despicable Me. Visit www.galveston.com/ saengerfestpark for more information.

Carter helps lead L.A. past Chicago

Late rally gives Heat win over Pacers

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson are among the few Los Angeles Kings who don’t have a Stanley Cup ring from two years ago. Jeff Carter is grateful the youngsters are carrying him along on their own Cup chase Kings 4 after their line Blackhawks 3 came up with another monster game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Carter had a goal and two assists, Toffoli scored the tiebreaking goal late in the second period, and the Kings beat Chicago 4-3 on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. Drew Doughty had a third-period goal and an assist, and Jonathan Quick made 24 saves as the Kings returned to Staples Center with an impressive two-way effort against the defending Stanley Cup champions.

MIAMI — Down by 15 early, the Miami Heat could have hit the panic button. Instead, they found a way to move within two wins of another trip Heat 99 to the NBA Finals. LeBron James scored Pacers 87 26 points, Dwyane Wade added 23, and the Heat shook off a horrid start to beat the Indiana Pacers 99-87 on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, taking a 2-1 lead and breaking a

back-and-forth trend in the rivalry. The teams had alternated wins and losses in 13 straight meetings — until now. Miami once trailed 37-22 before outscoring Indiana 77-50 the rest of the way. “A lot of our situations that we’ve been through where we’ve struggled have been against this team,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “That’s what they do to you. They’re very good. It’s a function of their defense. “But we had no choice but try to re-gather.” That they did. And then some.

TENNIS FRENCH OPEN

Serena as fluent in French as on red clay By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

PARIS — Serena Williams was wrapping up her pre-French Open news conference when someone seated in the front row wanted to know whether she would take one question in the local language. The tournament’s defending champion gave the OK. The reporter proceeded to put forth a pair of queries, and Williams arched her eyebrows and Serena kiddingly chastised Williams him — in French, of course — for asking two. She went on to answer both, earning a thumb’s up from the media member. A year ago, Williams won over the fickle Roland Garros crowd by doing on-court interviews in French en route to the title, and the American — who has an apartment in Paris and is coached by a Frenchman — is clearly prepared to do more of the same this time around. What’s just as impressive is her comfort level playing on the Grand Slam tournament’s slow, red clay these days. Heading into her first-round match Sunday against 138th-ranked Alize Lim, a wild-card entry from France who is making her Grand Slam singles debut, the No. 1-ranked Williams is 53-2 (a .964 winning percentage) with eight titles since 2012 on the surface known around here as “terre battue.” Before that, Williams was 86-29 (.748) with three titles on clay for her career.

Real Madrid holds off Atletico, wins Champions League title By Graham Dunbar The Associated Press

Real’s Sergio Ramos, in air, reacts with teammates Saturday at the end of the Champions League final soccer match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid at the Luz stadium in Lisbon, Portugal. MANU FERNANDEZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LISBON, Portugal — Real Madrid’s record 10th European title will Real 4 be written down as a Atletico 1 4-1 victory over Atletico Madrid. In reality, “La Decima” was a lot harder to come by.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Stephanie Proffer, sproffer@sfnewmexican.com

Atletico was minutes away from its first Champions League title Saturday when Sergio Ramos tied it for Real with a header in injury time. Real then broke down Atletico with three goals in the last period of extra time. “It’s the most important goal I’ve ever scored,” Sergio Ramos said. “We made history against a great rival.”

Gareth Bale broke the tie with a header in the 110th minute, Marcelo scored in the 118th and Cristiano Ronaldo polished off the win with a penalty at the end. “Madrid was better,” said Atletico coach Diego Simeone, who lost his temper toward the end after failing to complete a

Bjorn Kuipers of the Netherlands in an often physical match. The teams took chances by fielding players below full fitness, and a bruising first half tested their readiness and resolve. Ronaldo and Bale were both sent tumbling by tough tackles within 3 minutes, and Atletico’s Costa was forced out early. Costa hobbled off after 9 minutes, making it clear that the gamble by coach Diego Simeone to put him in the starting lineup had backfired. Costa also exited last weekend in a 1-1 draw at Barcelona in the Spanish league decider and received a horse placenta treatment on his right hamstring during the week. Four minutes after Bale wasted Real’s best early chance, scooping a left-foot shot wide from 12 yards, Godin made Real pay. Casillas charged from his line when Juanfran lifted a high ball toward the penalty spot, and was stranded when Godin rose to loop a header toward the empty goal. The ball crossed the goal line before the goalkeeper could swipe it away. In a second half of increasingly hectic Real attacks, Ronaldo tested Thibaut Courtois with a curling free kick but was off target with a pair of headers.

Serena: Could meet Venus in third round Continued from Page D-1 Williams is not entirely sure how to explain that surge, saying she didn’t alter her game. “I don’t know what clicked or didn’t click,” she said. “I have the capability of playing on clay, so I don’t know why I wasn’t more consistent on clay before.” And then the 32-year-old Williams broke into a wide smile before adding: “But, hey, I guess better late than never, right?” Absolutely. Indeed, one way to view her improvement on clay is simply in the context of a career renaissance that began, not coincidentally, right after a surprising exit against 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano of France at the 2012 French Open, the only first-round loss for Williams in 54 Grand Slam tournaments. It was after that setback that Williams began working with Patrick Mouratoglou, who runs a tennis academy in France. She has since earned four singles trophies at the past seven majors, raising her Grand Slam total to 17, one shy of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. “When Serena is at her best, she’s going to win everything,” Evert said. “It’s just a matter of is she going to be at her best?”

Consider that the other 127 women in the field when play begins Sunday own a combined 19 Grand Slam titles. That includes seven for Williams’ older sister, Venus. The siblings could meet in the third

runs in the top of the first inning before Roswell (7-3) scored two runs in the bottom of the third to tie the game. The Fuego regained the lead in the top of the fifth when catcher Chevas Numata brought in two runs on a single. The Fuego close out the fourgame series with the Invaders on Sunday, then travel to Raton to play two games against the Osos before returning to Fort Marcy Ballpark on Tuesday to

round, which would be their earliest match at a major since their first — in the second round of the 1998 Australian Open. They have played eight all-Williams Grand Slam finals (Serena won six) but have not met at any stage of a major tournament since the 2009 Wimbledon final. “It never gets easier,” Serena said. “She’s essentially the love of my life, so it’s definitely difficult.” On Sunday, the 29th-seeded Venus will face 81st-ranked Belinda Bencic of Switzerland, who’s appearing in only her second major tournament. Other top players in action on Day 1 include 17-time major champion Roger Federer against Lukas Lacko, No. 6 Tomas Berdych against Peter Polansky, and No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska against Zhang Shuai. Radwanska, who lost to Serena in the Wimbledon final two years ago, is among the women who harbor realistic hope of making a deep run over the next 15 days. That group also includes 2011 French Open champion and reigning Australian Open champion Li Na; 2008 French Open winner Ana Ivanovic; and Maria Sharapova, who won the 2012 title in Paris to complete a career Grand Slam, then lost to Serena in last year’s final.

Colorado tops Atlanta Yankees snap losing streak, overcome White Sox in 10

The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Michael Cuddyer and Troy Tulowitzki each homered, Juan Nicasio solved the Braves, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Braves 3-1 Saturday. The Rockies were without some of their big bats. Carlos Gonzalez missed his third straight start with a swollen finger and Nolan Arenado was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a broken finger. Nicasio (5-2) didn’t need much offense. The righthander turned around his ugly history against the Braves — 0-3 and 9.82 ERA in four starts. He gave up only two hits in six shutout innings. Nicasio pitched around four walks and had five strikeouts. PIRATES 3, NATIONALS 2 In Pittsburgh, Josh Harrison had a tiebreaking, two-out single in the seventh inning after Jose Tabata hit a sacrifice fly, and the Pirates won their fourth straight game. Gerrit Cole left after six innings trailing by a run while facing Stephen Strasburg in the first matchup in the NL of No. 1 overall draft picks in almost nine years. But Strasburg (3-4) allowed three runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings. PHILLIES 5, DODGERS 3 In Philadelphia, David Buchanan threw five effective innings in his major league debut, and Chase Utley hit a two-run homer to power the Phillies. Filling in for injured ace Cliff Lee, Buchanan (1-0) gave the struggling Phillies a lift. The 25-year-old righty allowed two runs and five hits, striking out two.

MARLINS 2, BREWERS 1 In Miami, Jacob Turner pitched 6⅓ scoreless innings to help the Marlins win for the third time in four games. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jeff Baker drove in the runs for the Marlins, and Steve Cishek recorded the final four outs for his 10th save in 11 chances. It was the best outing of the season for Turner (1-2), who struck out two and walked one while allowing eight hits. It was only the second time in six starts that he has not allowed at least four runs. CARDINALS 6, REDS 3 In Cincinnati, left-hander Jaime Garcia got his first victory in more than a year in his comeback from shoulder surgery, and Yadier Molina homered again in the city where he’s always booed, leading St. Louis to victory. The Cardinals evened their series at a game apiece. St. Louis has won nine of the last 10 series between the NL Central rivals. Garcia (1-0) made his second start since recovering from sur-

L.A.: Carter got tying goal Continued from Page D-1 “I’m having so much fun with these guys,” said Toffoli, who has scored a goal in every game of the conference finals. “Getting to play with a guy like Carter is a great opportunity, and [Pearson] and me are trying to live up to him.” Game 4 is Monday night at Staples Center. Three days after Carter had four points in the third period of Game 2, Los Angeles got another dominant effort from the line centered by the veteran goal-scorer. In a 6:11 span of the second period of Game 3, Carter scored the tying goal off Pearson’s pass before setting up the go-ahead score by Toffoli, who has a goal in every game of the conference finals. “They have a lot of chemistry from playing together” in the minors, Carter said. “They use their speed and their skill to create opportunities, and they kind of drag me along with them, so it’s fun.” Toffoli and Pearson still hadn’t cracked Los Angeles’ lineup in 2012 when the eighthseeded Kings won the title. Toffoli became a regular for last season’s run to the conference finals, while Pearson made his NHL debut in a playoff game last spring. They’ve both become key components of the Kings’ four-line offensive attack. Slava Voynov also scored an early power-play goal as the Kings moved halfway to their second Stanley Cup final in three years. Captain Jonathan Toews scored twice in the first period for the Blackhawks, but they didn’t score again until Patrick Sharp’s goal with 5 seconds left. Corey Crawford stopped 28 shots for the Blackhawks, who have lost the first road game in 10 consecutive playoff series since 2010. “Once they got the lead, they seemed to get the momentum, and we couldn’t quite find our way back into the game,” Toews said. “It’s up to us to play better with those leads.” Three days after the Kings evened the series by scoring six consecutive goals in the final 22 minutes of Game 2, Los Angeles didn’t relax and rely on its NHL-best defense. Neither team played conservatively despite the stakes, instead trading tantalizing scoring chances for the first two periods. The Kings kept pushing for goals even while leading in the third, generating 18 shots and keeping the talented Blackhawks stuck in their own end for long stretches. “We all want to win in here, and Toews is obviously our captain and leader,” Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith said. “He definitely led the way tonight, but we need everybody if we are going to beat this team and try to win one here. Toews came out and led the way. It’s up to the rest of us to follow that.” The Blackhawks beat Los Angeles in five games in the conference finals last season, but the rematch hasn’t been nearly as smooth for Chicago. Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell haven’t scored a goal in the conference finals, while Sharp’s last-gasp goal was his first of the series.

gery on his labrum and rotator cuff last May. He gave up six hits and a pair of runs in 5⅔ innings, fanning seven and retiring 12 batters in a row over one span. DIAMONDBACKS 3, METS 2 In New York, Josh Collmenter provided another solid start, Martin Prado hit a pair of RBI singles, and Arizona ended a three-game skid. A day after Aaron Hill had a home run washed out when the game at Citi Field was postponed because of rain, he cracked a key hit that counted. His second-inning double set up run-scoring singles by Prado and Cody Ross that put Arizona ahead to stay. CUBS 3, PADRES 2 In San Diego, Cubs lefthander Travis Wood came within five outs of pitching his first career shutout before allowing Carlos Quentin’s pinch-hit, two-run home run, and Chicago held on to beat the Padres. Wood (5-4) hit an RBI single and Luis Valbuena homered for the Cubs.

CHICAGO — Jacoby Ellsbury homered with two outs in the 10th inning, and the New York Yankees snapped an eight-game road losing streak against the White Sox with a 4-3 victory on Saturday. The Yankees scored three times in the ninth against Ronald Belisario and then grabbed their first lead of the day when Ellsbury hit a drive to right off Zach Putnam (2-1) for his second homer. Dellin Betances (3-0) pitched a perfect inning for the win and David Robertson finished for his 10th save in 11 chances, bouncing back nicely after yielding Adam Dunn’s game-ending homer in Chicago’s 6-5 victory on Friday night. BLUE JAYS 5, ATHLETICS 2 In Toronto, R.A. Dickey won for the third time in four starts, Brett Lawrie homered, and the Blue Jays beat the Athletics. The AL East-leading Blue Jays (28-22), who won for the 10th time in 12 games, haven’t been atop the division this late into the season since July 6, 2000, when they were 46-40. Dickey (5-4) allowed one run and five hits in a season-high 8⅓ innings. He walked one and struck out four. Jesse Chavez (4-2) allowed four runs, two earned, and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings, the second straight start he has failed to reach six innings. INDIANS 9, ORIOLES 0 In Baltimore, Corey Kluber struck out nine in seven innings, and the Indians beat former teammate Ubaldo Jimenez and the Orioles for their fifth win in six games.

plus three each in the sixth and seventh. Rick Porcello (7-2) had won his last six starts before being knocked around by Texas. He allowed eight runs and 12 hits in 5⅓ innings.

Carlos Santana homered and walked three times for the Indians, who took control with a five-run fifth and pulled away by scoring four in the seventh. Kluber (5-3) became the first pitcher in the majors this season to have five straight outings with at least eight strikeouts. He gave up five hits, walked two and did not allow a runner past second base. Jimenez (2-6) tied two undesirable season highs, giving up five runs and walking five, in four-plus innings. RANGERS 12, TIGERS 2 In Detroit, Nick Martinez pitched six sharp innings for his first major league win, and fellow rookie Rougned Odor drove in five runs with a pair of triples to lead the Rangers to a rout of the Tigers. Martinez (1-1) allowed a run and eight hits, and Adrian Beltre and Donnie Murphy homered for Texas. The Rangers scored four runs in the fourth,

RAYS 6, RED SOX 5 (15 INNINGS) In St. Petersburg, Fla., Andrew Miller threw a force attempt at second base into center field, allowing pinchrunner Cole Figueroa to score in the bottom of the 15th inning as the Rays handed the Red Sox their ninth consecutive loss. Boston scored five runs in the first inning but still lost its ninth in a row for the first time since Aug. 25-Sept. 4, 2001. James Loney opened the 15th with a single off Miller (1-4). Figueroa ran for Loney and went to second on Brandon Guyer’s bunt single. He scored when Miller threw the ball into center field while attempting to get a double play on Desmond Jennings’ grounder. Cesar Ramos (2-3) allowed an infield single and two walks in three scoreless innings for the win. ROYALS 7, ANGELS 4 (13 INNINGS) In Anaheim, Calif., Eric Hosmer tied a season high with four hits, pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson scored the go-ahead run in the 13th inning on a throwing error by rookie reliever Mike Morin, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Los Angeles Angels. Danny Valencia led off the 13th inning with a double off the fence in left-center. Dyson went into run for him and scored when Morin (0-1) fielded Alcides Escobar’s sacrifice bunt and threw the ball past first base as Dyson came home.

shots. The Thunder say it starts with basics. “It’s just an individual effort,” Perkins said. “Got to put it in your mind that you want to stop the guy in front of you, and that’s it. Backside got to be ready. But the thing is when they penetrate, that’s what opens those threes. We’ll do a better job of keeping the ball in front of us, but we’ve just got to be individual and you’ve got to want the match up.” To be fair, San Antonio shares the ball like no one else. The Spurs led the league with 25.4 assists per

game during the regular season. That average is up to 27.5 against Oklahoma City. Parker and Ginobili generate many of the assists, but many others come from simple ball movement. “We don’t have a Durant,” Ginobili said. “We don’t have a Kobe [Bryant] or LeBron [James] that can go one against one and finish every single time. We need to pass the ball to find open teammates, and that’s what we do, and that’s what we’ve been doing. We all feel proud about it. We know when we have 25 assists or 30, we are much better, and we try to do that every time.”

Heat: Pacers face deficit for third straight series Continued from Page D-1 Ray Allen added 16 points and led a late-game charge for the Heat, who will host Game 4 on Monday night. And it was the second time this season the Heat rallied from 15 points down to beat the Pacers in Miami — it also happened on Dec. 18. “Tough loss for our guys,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “Thought we competed pretty well, came out of the gates really strong, got off to a good start and then didn’t manage our foul trouble well and didn’t manage picking up their defensive intensity well.” It’s the third straight series where the Pacers have faced a deficit. “A ton,” Vogel said when asked how much resiliency the Pacers have left. “It’s very early in the series.” Paul George scored 17 points for Indiana, shooting 5 for 13 in his return after being concussed late in Game 2. Roy Hibbert had

16 points, David West added 13, and Lance Stephenson scored 10 for the Pacers, who never trailed until early in the third quarter. Miami started the game 2 for 10 from the floor. The Heat then made 21 of their next 31 shots, including eight straight in the third that gave the two-time defending NBA champions their first lead. James’ dunk with 7:36 remaining in the third put Miami up for the first time, 52-51. That was the first of nine lead changes in the quarter, before the Heat did what Spoelstra implored his team to do in a pregame locker room address. “Impose our identity,” Spoelstra said. Eventually, the message reached the Heat, and their two best players led the way. “We just want to get better as the series goes on,” James said. “We want to move their defense from side to side. When we do that, we give ourselves an opportunity to get to the lane. And when our shooters get going it definitely adds more space, as you saw in the fourth quarter.”

James’ 3-pointer with 1:21 left in the third put Miami up 67-63, then its biggest lead of the night. Wade subbed in for James with 5.7 seconds left because the four-time MVP was dealing with what appeared to be a hamstring cramp and connected on a 3-pointer with 1.4 ticks remaining for a 74-67 lead going into the fourth. James retreated toward the locker room at that point, stopping halfway down the hallway known as “Championship Alley” while trainer Mike Mancias stretched him out. Meanwhile, Wade — not exactly known for behind-the-arc prowess — opened the fourth quarter with another 3, the Heat were up 10 and the floodgates were opening. Indiana got to 76-74 before Allen made a 3-pointer, and with that, the tone was set for the final minutes. Allen made three 3s in the final 5:59, the last of those putting Miami up by 15. “I think we need to stick to what we do,” West said. “We got away from ourselves. We tried to make some stuff on the fly, which is not us.”

OPTIONS TO HELP ORGANIZE THAT OVERSTUFFED STORAGE SPACE

Conquering the closet

A collection of items that can help with avoiding clutter. While a closetorganization system is worth considering and easy to install, you can make major progress and spend far less with small changes that make vast improvements. TONY CENICOLA/THE NEW YORK TIMES

By Bob Tedeschi The New York Times

n the household to-do list my wife and I update whenever we’re orbiting Neptune in our hovercraft, “organize closets” is right up there with “handtune our unused piano” and “sort DVD collection by Rotten Tomato rating.” But when we recently had friends over for dinner and I couldn’t fit their coats into the entry-hall closet, I figured I had to do something. This particular closet was stuffed with 26 coats, 28 pairs of shoes, a dozen hats and multiple gloves, two old lamps and a pair of empty coat racks we keep there for irony. My task: Find a way to make this closet useful without resorting to a built-in organization system that might cost more than $1,000. For help, I called on three people with personalorganization consultancies: Laura Leist of Eliminate Chaos in Seattle; Barry Izsak of Arranging It All in Austin, Texas; and Ashley

Murphy of Neat Method, based in San Francisco. While a closet-organization system is worth considering and easy to install, they said, you can spend far less and still make vast improvements. “A lot of times, people think they don’t have enough closet space or they think they need a new closet system, when the fact is they just need to organize it better,” said Izsak, who is immediate past president of the National Association of Professional Organizers. If one or two closets are especially bad, Murphy said, don’t start with them. You may discover there is nowhere else to put the items you’ve jammed into the problem area, or you may simply trade one problem closet for another. Instead, take a close look at less cluttered or less important closets or storage areas. If your hall closet contains sports equipment or old coats (or, perhaps, old lamps), carve out space elsewhere for this stuff so you can create useful real estate where you need it most.

nizations that will pick up donations. The next step is finding somewhere else to put the things you want to keep. We were in trouble on this front, since the other closets in our house were packed, too. My advisers suggested buying some accessories and hardware for our closets. The simplest way to free up space, Izsak said, is with skinny hangers — and by that, he didn’t mean the old-school wire ones. Products like Huggable hangers ($10 for set of 10) are roughly a quarter of an inch thick yet strong enough to hold coats you would put on fat plastic hangers. “With these, you can get three garments into a space where you used to have just one,” he said. Another benefit, Murphy noted, is that “if all you do is change your hangers so they all match, you’d think your closet is more organized.” Big-box retailers like the Container Store

Of course, since I pay little attention to what my family members are wearing as they sprint out the door, it was hard to know which pieces of clothing were in daily use. Izsak suggested turning all the hangers backward, so the open ends faced the door, and waiting a week or two. Then check which ones haven’t been moved, he said, and you’ll know what wasn’t used; put those items aside to discard. This step was helpful with our hall closet, but just to be sure, I got a second opinion from my wife about the rarely used items. Then I pulled out everything and created three piles: one for relocation, one for donation and one for the keepers. It was amazing how small that keeper pile was. Murphy said her more-affluent clients often consign valuable items, while others give their little-used items to a local charity. City dwellers have the option of curbside giveaways, and those in the suburbs can post items free on Craigslist and let the recipients come and get them, or call one of the many charitable orga-

YOUR MONEY’S WORTH FRANCIS PHILLIPS

Save money with mortgage math — 15 is the new 30 I ’m going to crunch numbers with you this month. Yes, we’re going to do some mortgage math. Don’t turn the page — I want to show you how much money you can save over the life of a loan by taking a 15-year term rather than a 30-year term. These examples here are for illustration only. Remember to consult your tax adviser for any tax questions. Ready? Let’s use the example of a 30-year-old borrower taking out a $200,000 loan. Her marginal tax rate is 25 percent. As I write this in midApril, 30-year, fixed-rate loans are at 4.375 percent and 15-year, fixed-rate loans are at 3.375 percent. The 30-year loan would have a monthly principal and interest payment of $998. (Property taxes and insurance vary widely, so I’m not addressing them in these

calculations.) Over the life of the loan, the borrower pays $159,280 in interest for a total of $359,280. What happens to the same borrower if she takes a 15-year loan? Her monthly payment is higher — $1,417 — but she pays only $55,153 in interest and a total of $255,153 over the life of the loan. That’s a big difference! She pays $419 more each month but she saves $104,127 over the life of the loan and she owns her home free and clear at age 45. Good deal? I think so. Maybe she doesn’t feel confident being locked into the higher payment on the 15-year option. So how about this: She takes out a 30-year loan but makes extra payments so she pays it off in 15 years. Her monthly payment would be $1,517, the interest would be $73,105 and the total pay-

ment $200,000. She owns her home at 45, but if she can’t make a payment, she’s not required to pay the higher amount. Here’s another scenario: She goes with a biweekly program. She takes a 30-year loan, makes payments every two weeks and owns her home free and clear in 22.7 years. Essentially, she makes one extra full payment each year. So what about the mortgage interest deduction? You get a bigger tax break on a 30-year loan, but that’s because you’re paying more interest. While lowering your taxes sounds good, don’t forget the advantages of owning your home sooner and saving money over the life of your loan’. A 15-year, fixed-rate loan offers you the security of fixed monthly

payments, a rate that can’t increase, the opportunity to own your home free and clear in 15 years, and faster growth of equity in your home. In the last five years, many people took out 30-year, fixed-rate loans with rates in the 4s. It’s worth your time to talk to a mortgage professional and take a look at refinancing to a 15-year, fixed-rate loan with rates in the 3s. Don’t be scared — it’s only mortgage math, and it could save you $100,000.

How to coexist peacefully with your books By Mari-Jane Williams The Washington Post

I love books. Not just reading them, but how they smell, the weight of them in my hands, the feel of the pages when I turn them. So naturally, I have a lot, culled from all stages of my life. Even the ones I didn’t like and have no intention of revisiting (I’m looking at you, Moby-Dick), I am compelled to keep. After all, the books we read are more than just things. Somehow, they become a part of who we are. A little piece of our soul. “I think when you spend time with a book, when you invest the time to sit and read something for however long it takes, it’s very hard to let go of that,” said Jill Goldberg, the founder of Hudson Interior Designs in Boston. “It’s just like a little kid with a stuffed animal that they want to hold on to.” At some point, though, I realized that the way my books were crammed into every available space, spilling haphazardly out of my bookshelf and stacked on the floor, didn’t accurately reflect their importance to me. They also looked like an afterthought, when really, they’re anything but. I was in desperate need of an intervention. I sent photos of my “bad bookcase” to several designers and certified professional organizers to get their suggestions of how best to display my book collection. (If you can even call it that; the only value in my beat-up stacks of Penguin Classics is sentimental.) Then I spent an afternoon pulling everything off the shelves, trying different arrangements, and identifying what should stay in the living room and what could be boxed away. The marked-up copy of Shakespeare’s complete works that saw me through college is now stashed in the basement, because I almost never find a reason to crack it open. I moved cookbooks off the shelves and into a cabinet in the kitchen, and relegated piles of magazines to the recycling bin. No one I spoke to suggested getting rid of books, which was good, because that’s not an option for me. This

wasn’t an exercise in de-cluttering; it was an attempt to find a way to cohabitate with my books and let them shine. Because, like I said, I love them. That’s a sentiment Tracy Morris, principal designer at Tracy Morris Design in Washington, often hears from her clients. A book lover herself, Morris is happy to incorporate books into design. “As long as you do it tastefully, so it’s beautiful and clean, you can put them anywhere your heart desires,” she said. “Books are an enormous part of creating texture and warmth in a house.” And displaying books artfully, in combination with other meaningful treasures from your travels or childhood, can turn them from clutter into a conversation piece, said Andreas Charalambous, principal architect at Forma Design in Washington. “If you provide someone with the infrastructure or backdrop to place things in an orderly manner, it ends up being pleasing to look at,” Charalambous said. “You don’t want to just hide these things behind a closet door, because then they lose the importance that they have.” So how can bibliophiles strike that balance between hanging on to their treasures and keeping their house from looking like something that should be featured on an episode of Hoarders? Here are suggestions from professionals on how to incorporate your book collection into your home design, many of which I used in my bookcase overhaul. Organize in a way that works for you Books can be organized alphabetically, or by size, subject, author or color. As long as it works for you and reflects how you think about and retrieve your books, it’s fine, said Cynthia Lindsey, the president of Organizing Ease in Nashville. The methodical reader might want to start in the top left corner and go across each shelf in alphabetical order, either by title or author. Those who are more expressive and don’t care about the content may choose to sort the books by color, starting with red and going through the spectrum to

violet, creating a rainbow of book spines. This can work well for people who have a lot of books, said Goldberg, who helped a family with hundreds of books stage them by color in their home library. Other clients prefer to display books of one color, such as white or blue, to create a calming feel, Morris said. But some people — myself included — prefer to organize their books by subject, to make them easier to find when they need them. It’s hard for me to imagine separating the brownspined Jane Eyre from her blackspined Bronte cousins. That’s fine, too, Morris said. She suggests ordering books by size within those categories to keep the finished product looking neat and organized. Either put the tallest books on the

outside and work toward the smaller, or put the tallest in the middle of the shelf and have them get smaller as they fan out. Find a way to neutralize them Amy Trager, a certified professional organizer based in Chicago, suggested flipping the books around so the pages are facing out, instead of the spine, to cut down on the visual clutter of the books’ different colors and sizes. That only works, of course, if you don’t need to quickly access specific books, but it’s a great way to add texture and a neutral, toned-down feeling to your space, Trager said. Trager had another client who needed to keep her books in the living room but hated the way they looked. She created covers for each of her recessed shelves out of thin paper-

board. When she wanted a particular book, she could pull the covers down, but when they were up, it looked like a solid colored wall, fading into the background. Mix it up Blend horizontal and vertical stacks of books to create visual interest on your shelves, Morris said. She suggested arranging vertical books on the ends of the shelf, with horizontal stacks in the middle. Or using a few art books stacked on their sides as a bookend. Leave a few inches between the horizontal books and the side of the bookcase, she said. Art or coffee table books are perfect for stacking horizontally, because they are often too tall for the shelf. Stacking books horizontally on top of your vertical books, though, like I had done to cram more books into the space, is a no-no, Morris and Lindsey agreed. That just makes the shelves look cluttered. Duly noted. Integrate some meaningful or beautiful objects to break up the books Those horizontally stacked books can be a great place to put a small frame or vase, Morris said. Choose a variety of items or art that is meaningful to you, and try to keep things around the same size, she said. If you are using framed photos or art, use the same color frame throughout. Group objects on the top of the bookcase in sets of odd numbers, such as three or five. Or, Lindsey said, keep the top of the bookcase empty for a clean, uncluttered look. Find balance If you have a bookcase with more than one column of shelves (like mine), Morris suggested using the same pattern in opposite corners to create a balanced effect. For example, on the top left and bottom right shelves, she said, you could pull the middle books out and turn them so they are horizontal, then put a small picture on top. Think beyond the bookcase Book collections don’t have to be limited to a traditional shelving unit. We’ve seen them thoughtfully stacked inside a fireplace, or used as an end table next to a chair. Morris said she once had a client who had a shelf across the top of a headboard for a line of shallow books. She has also seen books stacked above and below coffee tables and on ladders that lean against the wall. Lindsey once placed books stacked kitty-corner to one another in a transition area between floors, to create a sculptural display of large art books. She encourages clients to get creative with the placement and design of their books, she said, so they enhance their homes.

Closet: Installing shelf system is not a difficult do-it-yourself-job Continued from Page E-1 brim with products that will help you make better use of the space you have. Izsak recommended a closet rod like the Dublet from Umbra ($20), which gives you two tiers for hanging. A double-tiered hanging rod allows you to consolidate clothes, but the downside, Murphy said, is that longer garments may drag on the floor. I tried one on a standard-height closet rod (the two-tiered rod hangs from the standard rod, with the second one hanging as much as 28 inches lower), and while my 12-year-old son’s shirts didn’t hit the floor, mine did. My advisers also suggested looking into storage items that use the surface of the closet door. One option is the Hinge-It Clutter Buster ($30), which attaches to the door hinges and includes four rods for hanging garments or towels. Back-of-the-door racks are a good choice for shoes, but only if you can close the door with the rack filled. For that reason, the PerfectCurve flip-flop

rack ($10) found a place in our hall closet rather than the clothes closet. An under-bed slide-out tray seemed like the perfect way to store dress shoes my wife only occasionally wears. I tried one (the sliding underbed shoe organizer, $30 at the Container Store), but our bed’s unusually low clearance of 5 inches thwarted that idea. A shoe platform for the closet worked better. I tried the two-tier adjustable shoe rack ($18 at the Container Store), which extends to a width of 44 inches. Again, Murphy was not a fan. “The ones I’ve tried are just not well made,” she said. Mine felt wobbly when it extended beyond 36 inches, but at shorter lengths it seemed sturdy enough. For storing shoes, Murphy told me, she prefers bins or baskets: “For hall closets, I’d use the entire floor space and buy a basket for every family member, or put kids’ shoes in one and the parents’ shoes in another.” My wife and I didn’t love the idea of rummaging on the floor for shoes, so

we chose a hybrid solution: a hanging canvas shoe bag for us and a shortened (and therefore sturdy enough) shoe rack for the rest of the family. But bins worked well on the closet’s two shelves. I tried a new product, Clever Crates, which are collapsible baskets. The 33.8-quart size ($10 at Home Depot) is big enough for a bunch of shoes or winter items, while the 16.9-quart-size ($8) is good for hats or scarves. I like this idea because our unused crates always attract junk. These won’t. Our hall closet was now more spacious, but the two-shelf setup at the top was a stretch for my family. And now that we’ve put away our coldweather jackets and unused coats, the closet had a lot of wasted space at knee level. So as much as I wanted to avoid installing a closet system, it seemed the only alternative. My panelists were unanimously enthusiastic about do-it-yourself closet organization systems — in particular, the Elfa system from the Con-

tainer Store. These systems, they told me, are easy to install and equally easy to adjust according to seasonal needs. That all sounded great, except that I live in one of the roughly 25 states without a Container Store. For similarly disenfranchised people, my experts said, the company’s website offers useful tools for customizing a system. I tried it and I agree. I browsed many samples online and then called a Container Store saleswoman with the measurements of my closet and a rough inventory of items we want to keep there, and she guided me to a $550 Elfa system in the most inexpensive finish. (My closet is 91-by-23-by-53 inches, and I chose wire-mesh components without wood-veneer fronts. The more expensive Elfa systems for walk-in closets, by contrast, cost around $3,000.) My system includes slide-out shelves from the floor to hip level for shoes and a single shelf up top. The hanger bar sits 12 inches higher than my old one, so there’s far more space

beneath the jackets now, and the shelves can be repositioned if we need more space for big coats in the winter. As a do-it-yourself project, it was one of the easier jobs I’ve tackled. I cleared the existing hardware and shelves in 15 minutes, drilled six holes for wall anchors and screwed in the horizontal bracket that holds the other components. The printed installation directions were slightly vague, but two quick calls to the company helped. The job took me four hours, start to finish. Was it worth it? For my big family and my space-constrained house, yes. We could have gotten by with the various space-saving accessories, but I suspect they would have broken or gone unused after a year or two. For another $300 or so, the installed system offers a more permanent fix, and when we eventually sell the place it will be a bonus. In the meantime, I’ll be turning my attention to the piano and the DVD collection.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, May 25, 2014: This year you’ll feel empowered and much more content by the end of summer. You will feel as if you can pull white rabbits out of black hats. Be careful what you wish for. If you are single, your social schedule could become overwhelming starting this summer, yet it is through such activity that you are likely to meet your sweetie. If you are attached, you will be very active and busy in the next 12 months. Make sure to include your significant other in your plans. Remember, a relationship takes time and caring. Taurus understands you well. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Scratch pad

Me: I am calling to complain about a freak Butterball turkey that I recently purchased and consumed. Jackson: What is the nature of the problem? Me: It was deformed. It had two heads. Gene Jackson: Sir, our turkeys do not come Weingarten with their heads on. Me:You raise headless turkeys?????? The Washington Jackson: No. We take the heads off. Post Are you saying there were heads inside the cavity? Me: No. There were two necks inside the cavity, so naturally it must have had two heads. Are you exposing your turkeys to radioactivity to make them bigger, but sometimes they grow extra heads or wings? Jackson: No! Me: What kind of creepy Frankenstein operation do you have going on there? Jackson: What probably happened was that we overpacked the cavity with an additional neck. Me: Then someone else got a bird with no neck. Jackson: Not necessarily. Me: Do the math, man! Jackson: Every turkey comes with its own neck. But some are used for other purposes, like frozen burgers. Me: So, there are more necks than there are turkeys. That’s disturbing. Jackson: No, it’s not. Me: If you say so.

ZzzQuil Me: Hi. Can you tell me how your sleep-aid product is pronounced? Is it “Ziz-quil,” or “(loud snoring noise)-quil,” or “Zee-quil”? Danielle: It’s the last. “Zee-quil.” Me: Now, see, I have a problem with that. Danielle: I’m sorry. Me: “Zzz” is not even the sound of a snore. Sure, some cartoonists go to that well. But not the greats. They know it’s inadequate. In the iconic “Blondie” strips, Dagwood snores like this: “Sknxx-x,” with multiple consonant sounds, as snores have, and a hyphen to show the epiglottal hesitations. Danielle: Oh. Me: I don’t want to brag, but I have improved upon that. I have created the perfect snore word and suggest that ZzzQuil change its name to be more snore-y. Ready? Danielle:Yes Me: K-c-h-z-l-z-c-n with a tilde-z-h-hyphen-k-h-quil. Danielle: OK, let me read that back to you. (She does.) (I make corrections, until she has it.) Me: You got it! Change the name of the product to Kchzlzcnzh-khquil. Danielle: Thank you! I like to pass on suggestions from consumers!

Fleischmann’s Yeast Me: The packaging of your product is offensive to persons such as myself, persons with large behinds. Judy: How is that? Me: It brags right on the envelope that it is “gluten free.” Like that’s a good thing. Well, I like the size of my glutes, as do many proud, ample-bottomed Americans. Judy:Gluten is an ingredient in wheat that makes some people sick. This has nothing to do with a body part. Me: Oh. I feel so silly now. I have another question, but I’m afraid it will sound silly. Judy: Go ahead! There are many valid questions. Me: Might your product cause yeast infections?
