Rayos Burciaga, a Mexican immigrant who has lived in Santa Fe for the past 13 years, worked at a local Motel 6 as a room-service attendant for three years.

But in the last year and a half that she worked there, she says, her employer would only pay her for a predetermined amount of time to clean each room.

But a new manager later changed work policies after Burciaga had worked there for just over a year.

As part of the changes, employees were allotted 20 minutes to clean each room they were assigned. If an employee had 10 rooms to clean in a shift, that meant the employee was to complete the work in a little more

Survey: Most who opt out of vaccines are Anglo Exemptions have risen in New Mexico’s schools

College-educated, Anglo parents in New Mexico are the most likely to seek exemptions from required public health vaccines for their schoolage children, according to a survey released Monday by the state Department of Health.

The first-ever survey by state health officials comes as more parents are seeking to forgo childhood vaccines — but still want to enroll their children in school, where contagion can spread quickly.

In all, the number of exemptions has climbed in New Mexico to 3,372 in

or several minutes, a state police officer tried to explain the options to a woman in a Kia minivan loaded with children. She could sign a speeding violation, he said, or she could go to the Taos County Magistrate Court.

He even gave her a break, saying he wouldn’t cite her for driving on an expired license.

But as he stepped away from her vehicle, she drove off, launching a frenzied sequence of events that have put the New Mexico State Police in the

national spotlight over when it is proper for police to engage in high-speed chases and when officers should use deadly force.

Edited footage of the dashboard-camera video taken from inside the state police officer’s car has gone viral. It shows the officer scuffling with the woman’s 14-year-old son and breaking a van window with his baton as he tries to gain entry.

Another officer fires several times at the van’s wheels as it speeds away, leading to a second chase through Taos reaching up to 100 miles per hour.

Unedited video of the Oct. 28 incident in Taos reveals a more nuanced situation, in which the

officer appears to show extreme patience and restraint with the recalcitrant driver, even after she speeds away the first time and her son charges him. But when two other officers show up, pandemonium breaks loose.

The incident is one of four situations in the past month in which state police officers have used deadly force, including a shooting in Santa Fe on Nov. 7 that left a 39-year-old woman dead.

State police are investigating at least two of the incidents, the one in Santa Fe and the one in Taos.

Albuquerque voters get say on late-term abortion

By Jeri Clausing

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Three years ago, anti-abortion “missionaries” Tara and Bud Shaver left Operation Rescue’s base in Kansas with one target: a clinic that abortion opponents say has turned this Southwestern city into the late-term abortion capital of America.

But after a loss at the medical board and making little headway in the Democrat-controlled Legislature, their group, Project Defending Life, gathered enough signatures to place a

late-term abortion ban on the municipal ballot.

It is believed to be the first such referendum of its kind in the country and is being watched as a possible new front for activism in the abortion wars that have typically been waged at the federal and state levels.

On Tuesday, Albuquerque voters will decide whether to ban abortions after 20 weeks following an emotional and graphic campaign.

There were protests by “abortion holocaust” survivors at the city’s holocaust museum and a truck with

pictures of aborted fetuses with torn off limbs that was used as a rolling billboard outside early polling places.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars on television and radio ads have also brought out more early voters as the recent mayoral elections.

One man yelling “abortion” was dragged away by a group of veterans after interrupting Gov. Susana Martinez’s speech Monday at the city’s Veterans War Memorial.

The outcome is anyone’s guess in a state where abortion has traditionally been a non-issue.

NATION&WORLD China reforms, Fed policies boost Asian stock markets

By Eileen Ng

The Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Asian stock markets were lifted Monday by China’s reform pledges and expectations the U.S. central bank will extend its economic stimulus until March or later.

After regional stock markets closed Friday, Beijing announced more details of economic and social reforms.

“Different reforms have impacted different industries and the overall reaction today [Monday] has turned out to be positive,” said Stan Shamu, market strategist at IG in Melbourne, Australia.

China’s Shanghai Composite rose 1.4 percent to 2,165.61 and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng jumped 2.2 percent to 23,532.27. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 added 0.1 percent to 15,189.80 and South Korea’s Kospi was up 0.3 percent to 2,011.94. Benchmarks in Australia, Taiwan and Singapore and Malaysia also rose.

The likely extension of the Federal Reserve’s monetary stimulus continued to underpin stock markets. Janet Yellen, who is slated to replace Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chief early next year, expressed strong support for the Fed’s low interest-rate policies. Her statements convinced markets that the central bank won’t cut, or taper, stimulus until March.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ASA’s newest robotic explorer, Maven, rocketed toward Mars on Monday on a quest to unravel the ancient mystery of the red planet’s radical climate change.

The Maven spacecraft is due at Mars next fall following a journey of more than 440 million miles.

Scientists want to know why Mars went from being warm and wet during its first billion year to cold and dry today. The early Martian atmosphere was thick enough to hold water and possibly support microbial life. But much of that atmosphere may have been lost to space, eroded by the sun.

Maven set off through a cloudy sky Monday afternoon in its effort to provide answers. An unmanned Atlas V rocket put the spacecraft on the proper course for Mars, and launch controllers applauded and shook hands over the success.

An estimated 10,000 NASA guests gathered for the launch, the most exciting one of the year from Cape Canaveral. The University of Colorado at Boulder, which is leading the Maven effort, was represented by a couple thousand people.

“We’re just excited right now,” said the university’s Bruce Jakosky, princi-

Zimmerman arrested, charged with assault APOPKA, Fla. — George Zimmerman was charged with assault Monday after his girlfriend called deputies to the home where they were living and claimed he pointed a shotgun at her during an argument, authorities said.

The girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, called 911 in the early afternoon to say that Zimmerman had smashed a glass table, threatened her with the shotgun and ultimately pushed her out of the house, according to an arrest report. After pushing her out, Zimmerman barricaded the door with furniture and refused to leave, saying that he would talk to police by phone, authorities said.

The arrest was the latest legal problem for Zimmerman since he was acquitted last summer of criminal charges in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen. The trial stoked a discussion on racial profiling across the country.

Video: Russian plane hits ground at vertical angle KAZAN, Russia — The grainy airport video is dark, short and chilling. Within five seconds, a dot of light that Russian authorities say is a Boeing 737 appears in the sky over the tarmac and plunges to the ground in a near-vertical crash. The result is a blinding fireball.

The video shown Monday by Russian television stations — www.youtube.com/ watch?v=vgGHrMJuxRs —of Sunday night’s horrifying crash at Kazan airport that killed all 50 people onboard raises a host of questions, including why the plane’s second attempt to land at night in good weather went so horribly wrong.

The Boeing 737 belonging to Tatarstan Airlines was making its second attempt at a landing in Kazan, 520 miles east of Moscow, according to Alexander Poltinin, head of the local branch of Russia’s Investigative Committee.

“The purpose of this event is to spark a campuswide discussion about the issue of illegal immigration, and how it affects our everyday lives,” a statement posted by the group’s spokesman, Lorenzo Garcia.

Groups to promote Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign WASHINGTON — As Hillary Rodham Clinton privately weighs a second White House run, pieces of the Democratic establishment are beginning to fall into place publicly to help her possible candidacy.

Several super political action committees are collectively acting as an early de facto campaign organization to ensure Clinton is ready to compete vigorously if she decides to try again to become the first female president.

They’re building a network without her direct consent. But she’s not objecting either, and some Democrats are interpreting that as encouragement to push forward in anticipation of a campaign.

“There’s a lot of energy out there and it would be a mistake not to channel,” said Craig Smith, an adviser to Ready for Hillary.

The super PAC American Bridge 21st Century has launched Correct the Record, a group staffed by former Clinton aides who intend to defend the former secretary of state and other potential 2016 candidates against Republican critics.

objective.

Mars remains an intimidating target even for robotic craft, more than 50 years after the world’s first shot at the red planet.

Fourteen of NASA’s previous 20 missions to Mars have succeeded, beginning with the 1964-launched Mariner 4, a Martian flyby. The U.S. hasn’t logged a Mars failure, in fact, since the late 1990s. No other country comes close. Russia has a poor track record involving Mars, despite repeated attempts dating to 1960.

India became the newest entry to the Martian market two weeks ago with its first launch to Mars.

If all goes well, Maven will cruise past India’s Mars voyager, called Mangalyaan, or “Mars craft” in Hindi Earth and Mars line up properly for a Mars flight every two years, occasionally resulting in just this sort of traffic jam. The two planets are constantly on the move, thus the 440 million-mile-plus chase by Maven to Mars over the next 10 months.

Maven’s science instruments will be turned on in the next few weeks.

The University of Colorado’s ultraviolet spectrograph will try to observe Comet ISON, now visible and brightening in the night sky as it speeds toward the sun.

ISON will zip within 730,000 miles of the sun on Thanksgiving Day.

pal scientist for Maven, “and hoping for the best.”

To help solve this environmental puzzle at the neighboring planet, Maven will spend an entire Earth year measuring atmospheric gases once it reaches Mars on Sept. 22, 2014.

This is NASA’s 21st mission to Mars since the 1960s. But it’s the first one devoted to studying the Martian upper atmosphere. The mission costs $671 million.

Maven — short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution— bears eight science instruments. The spacecraft, at 5,410 pounds, weighs as much as an SUV. From solar wingtip to wingtip, it stretches 37.5 feet, about the length of a school bus.

A question underlying all of NASA’s Mars missions to date is whether life could have started on what now seems to be a barren world.

“We don’t have that answer yet, and that’s all part of our quest for trying to answer, ‘Are we alone in the universe?’ in a much broader sense,” said John Grunsfeld, NASA’s science mission director.

Unlike the 2011-launched Curiosity rover, Maven will conduct its experiments from orbit around Mars.

Forecasts, warnings spared lives from tornadoes Eight killed in storms across Midwest

By David Mercer and Don Babwin

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Ill. — When a cluster of violent thunderstorms began marching across the Midwest, forecasters were able to draw a bright line on a map showing where the worst of the weather would go.

Their uncannily accurate

predictions — combined with television and radio warnings, text-message alerts and storm sirens — almost certainly saved lives as rare late-season tornadoes dropped out of a dark autumn sky. Although the storms howled through 12 states and flattened entire neighborhoods within a matter of minutes, the number of dead stood at just eight.

By Monday, another, more prosaic reason for the relatively low death toll also came to light: In the hardest-hit town, many families were in church.

“I don’t think we had one church damaged,” said Gary Manier, mayor of Washington, Ill., a community of 16,000 about 140 miles southwest of Chicago.

The tornado cut a path about an eighth of a mile wide from one side of Washington to the other and damaged or destroyed as many as 500 homes. The heavy weather also battered parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and western New York.

Back in Washington, Daniel

Bennett was officiating Sunday services before 600 to 700 people when he heard an electronic warning tone. Then another.

And another.

“I’d say probably two dozen phones started going off in the service, and everybody started looking down,” he said.

What they saw was a text message from the National Weather Service cautioning that a twister was in the area. Bennett stopped the service and ushered everyone to a safe place until the threat passed.

A day later, many townspeo-

cent overvalued” at their current levels.

Then there’s the elephant that won’t leave the room: the Federal Reserve.

The Fed has been buying $85 billion in bonds each month in an effort to keep interest rates low and stimulate the economy.

Those purchases have pushed up bond prices and made stocks more attractive in comparison.

The Fed was supposed to start pulling back, or “taper” its purchases, in September.

But the central bank surprised investors by voting to delay that move. It isn’t expected to change course until early 2014, at the earliest.

Critics say the stimulus has

driven too many people into stocks and inflated prices.

Janet Yellen, who has been nominated to lead the Fed starting next year, told the Senate Banking Committee last week that the Fed will keep a close eye on the issue, but said stocks “are not in bubble territory.”

Still, now may not be the time to jump into stocks, at least in the U.S. Few investors expect the market’s gains in 2014 to come close to this year’s.

Analysts at Barclays Capital expect the S&P 500 index to reach about 1,900 by the end of 2014, roughly 6 percent above its current level. Analysts at Goldman Sachs are less optimistic. They see the index clos-

NEW YORK — Is the stock market due for a pullback?

The Dow Jones industrial average has surged 900 points since early October and crossed the 16,000-point threshold Monday. IPOs are hot again.

Small investors, stirred from their post-recession daze, are coming back to stocks. And it’s been more than two years since the market has had a significant slump.

Those trends have raised concerns of a stock bubble. They shouldn’t, money managers say, because even with the broader market’s 26 percent jump this year, stocks aren’t overpriced yet.

“Stocks are not cheap, but that does not mean that the stock market is expensive,” says Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist with Blackrock.

The ratio of stock prices to projected profits for companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index is 15, according to data from FactSet. That’s slightly below the average of 16.2 over the past 15 years and far below the peak of 25 in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Underneath the rally, most of the fundamentals of this market remain solid. Corporate profit margins are near historic highs, and profits are expected to keep rising. There are no signs the U.S. economy, which is still recovering from the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession, will slip back into a downturn.

All that leaves investors with conflicting feelings. Few see the stock market as attractive as it was at the beginning of the year, but fewer see an alternative where they should put their money.

Bonds are down 2.1 percent this year, according to the benchmark Barclays U.S. Aggregate bond index. Cash has a near-zero return in money market funds. Gold has dropped 24 percent.

“It’s hard to say stocks are expensive when you compare them to any other asset class,” says Brian Hogan, director of equities at Fidelity Investments.

“The other options are simply not attractive.”

Bubble or no, there are some signs that stocks are getting pricey.

Individual investors have been returning to the market, often a sign that stocks are reaching their peak. Individual investors poured $167 billion into stock mutual funds this year, according to data from Lipper. In comparison, large institutional investors like hedge funds, pension funds, endowments and insurance companies have only put in $111 billion.

When stocks are valued using an adjusted price-to-earnings ratio developed by Nobel Prizewinning economist Robert Shiller, they seem even more expensive. Shiller’s adjusted price-to-earnings ratio averages out the S&P 500’s earnings over 10 years, to smooth out the volatility that comes from the booms and busts. Using Shiller’s formula, stocks are currently trading at 24.4 times their previous 10 years’ worth of earnings, well above the historic average of 16.5 going back to the year 1881.

A few Wall Street professionals remain bearish and think stocks are due to fall by 10 percent or more.

“I think a lot of what’s driven the market higher recently is simply momentum,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer with BMO Private Bank. Ablin thinks stocks are “10 to 15 per-

ing at 1,850 by the end of 2014.

Not all parts of the market are overvalued, according to some investors. Bank stocks are among the cheapest in the S&P 500, based on the ratio of their price compared to projected profits.

“Typically financials benefit from the next stage of a bull market,” said J.J. Kinahan, chief market strategist with TD Ameritrade.

Energy and information technology stocks are also relatively inexpensive, when looking at price-to-earnings ratios. However, energy stocks have struggled due to lower oil and natural gas prices, so low stock prices may not necessarily mean they are a good value.

Blackrock’s Koesterich says investors should also look outside the U.S., particularly to emerging markets. But don’t focus on one country or continent, he said.

“Bring down your exposure to U.S. and go buy a broad international fund,” he said.

ple said those messages helped minimize deaths and injuries.

“That’s got to be connected,” Bennett said. “The ability to get instant information.”

In Indiana, Taylor Glenna heard emergency sirens go off and received an alert on his cellphone. A friend also called to warn him the storm was nearly upon him.

Glenna went outside, saw hail and heard a loud boom. He ran to his basement just in time.

On Monday, he was surveying the damage on crutches after suffering a leg injury when the

Vaccines: Medical, religious, personal reasons accepted in N.M. Continued from Page A-1 2011 from 1,148 in 1999 — a jump of 194 percent. More than half of all the vaccine exemptions statewide are in Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties, and health officials cite troubling “clusters” of unvaccinated children in some communities, which raises concerns that those areas are more vulnerable to contagions.

Though there is widespread scientific consensus that vaccines prevent deaths from measles, chicken pox, mumps and other diseases, New Mexico and other states allow exemptions from immunizations for medical and religious reasons, and permit students who are not vaccinated to register for school if their parents fill out a state-issued exemption form.

New Mexico also allows exemptions for personal reasons, and most families fall into this category — 54 percent say they do not want vaccinations because of a “philosophical” or a “personal belief,” according to the survey.

The survey found, for instance, that 73 percent of those with exemptions believe vaccine-preventable diseases can be severe, but that it is better for their child to develop immunity naturally by getting an illness. Only 32 percent of these families said they believe it is important to vaccinate their children to prevent the spread of disease in the community.

Other results indicate: u 74.2 percent of the parents requesting vaccination exemptions in New Mexico are Anglo, non-Hispanic. u 66.7 percent of the parents seeking exemptions have at least a four-year college degree, and 82.3 percent are female. u 29.8 of all vaccination exemptions were in Bernalillo County, and 23.7 percent in Santa Fe County.

School-by-school data in Santa Fe mirror the broader findings. The schools with the largest Hispanic populations also have the highest percentage of students fully vaccinated. For instance, Santo Niño Regional Catholic School had 100 percent of its students in compliance during the survey year. Other schools with very few exemptions that also had high numbers of Hispanic students were Capital High

The Santa Fe Waldorf School and the Santa Fe School for the Arts and Sciences, private exploratory learning environments with an emphasis on the arts, as well as Wood Gormley and Acequia Madre elementary schools — which have some of the highest numbers of Anglo students — had the highest percentages of students with vaccine exemptions, according to the Health Department.

State Epidemiologist Dr. Michael Landen said the survey results will help the state with its education efforts. For instance, he said, many in the department

Abortion: Nation watching voters’ decision Continued from Page A-1 Among their key targets are Catholics and Hispanics.

Roman Catholic Archbishop Michael Sheehan of Santa Fe is urging Albuquerque parishioners to vote for the ban on late-term abortions, which does not include any exceptions for things like rape and fetal anomalies. But the national group Catholics for Choice is working to counter that message, both in advertisements and on the ground.

“We have been hearing from lots of Catholics in Albuquerque who are unhappy that this is being pushed through their churches, in what is supposed to be a sacred space,” said Sara Hutchinson, domestic program director for the group.

Shaver’s group, Project Defending Life, has close ties to Operation Rescue and its national network. It has brought in volunteers from around the country to walk districts, lead prayers and help with outreach to churches. It has also employed the tactics Operation Rescue is well-known for.

“Quite frankly I think they are giving misleading and biased information both on the ballot and in the graphic stuff they are using. It is really disrespectful to the voters. … It doesn’t reflect the intelligence of the Albuquerque voters,” said Julianna Koob of Planned Parenthood of New Mexico, which is part of groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and the League of Woman Voters that are campaigning against the measure.

Shaver makes no apologies. For example, the moving billboard, she said, shows pictures of “actual abortion victims. Babies that were killed by abortion.

We use the images because as everyone says, a picture speaks louder than 1,000 words.”

“We want to restore meaning to the word abortion,” Shaver said. “And we want people to realize that this election is literally between life and death.”

Shaver said she and her husband first came to New Mexico from Wichita, Kansas, in 2011 because it is home to Southwestern Women’s Options, one of just a handful of late-term abortion clinics in the country. Initially, she said, they went after the clinic by combing through 911 calls from the clinic for ambulance services and lobbying lawmakers to tighten the state’s abortion laws.

Last year, Shaver was successful in having a state medical board prosecutor bring gross negligence complaint against the director of the clinic, Shelley Sella, based on a 911 call about a woman who suffered a ruptured uterus during a May 2011 abortion there. Sella, who previously worked at the clinic of a Kansas abortion doctor who slain in 2009, ultimately was exonerated.

If the referendum passes, a legal challenge is expected. Attorney General Gary King, a Democrat, has said he believes the law is unconstitutional.

Regardless, Shaver said she is here for the long-haul.

“We are Christians,” she said. “We really are led

by God. We really believe he brought us here. At this time we have no plans to leave. There is still work to be done. We are really hoping this election will be a springboard for bigger things at the state level.”

Asked if other cities with late-term abortion clinics might be targeted in the future, Shaver said, “We are encouraging people to see what can be done at the city level … We are starting to get calls from people asking us how to do what we have done.”

thought a study that linked some vaccines to autism had been discredited. But many parents surveyed were still basing their decisions on the flawed research. “We thought the study was flawed, but people are still making their decisions based on it, so we have a lot of education to do about this process,” he said.

The state already has made some changes in the way it grants exemptions.

Before the start of the 2013 school year, those seeking a medical exemption from vaccines filed the paperwork directly with the school. The state only saw exemption forms from famlies seeking a religious release, which was defined as using “prayer or spiritual means alone for healing.”

Now all forms go to the Health Department, which reviews the documents and gives two copies of the approved form to the family, so parents can keep one and submit one to the school.

As long as the forms are filled out correctly with documentation and the proper notary, no one is denied, Landen said.

But as a physician, he is concerned about the unvaccinated clusters in some communities. “If they were spread evenly across the state, it would not be as big an issue, but it’s clustered in certain communities,” Landen said.

And from a public health perspective, that is important information to have — especially for some of the contagions that are still prevalent, such as measles and pertussis. The state reported two pertussis deaths in 2012 — an infant from San Miguel County and a 4-year-old from Bernalillo County.

“We’re carefully monitoring the number of vaccination exemptions and keeping track of schools and parts of the state that may be more at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases because of the higher rates of exemptions,” he said.

The telephone survey was conducted between May and July, 2013 and talked with 729 families out of 2,176 eligible vaccination exemption households in New Mexico from the 2011 school year.

Frenzy: Firearm use concerns chief, governor Continued from Page A-1 Chief Pete Kassetas said in a news release Monday about the Taos shooting that he does “have concerns relating to the conduct of the officer who discharged his firearm. … I will take appropriate disciplinary action if warranted.”

Enrique Knell, Gov. Susana Martinez’s spokesman, said in an email late Monday that Martinez believes officers using deadly force is a serious issue. He added that the governor shares the chief’s concerns about the incident, and “she feels very strongly that police officers have to use the right judgment in situations like this, to provide for public safety.”

A grand jury indicted the minivan driver, Oriana Ferrell of Memphis, Tenn., on a felony count of child abuse, a felony count of aggravated fleeing and a misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia. But Ferrell’s lawyer has publicly challenged the charges.

“We ought to talk about the stupidity, the recklessness of shooting at a car that has five children in it,” defense attorney Alan Maestas said last week. “If someone ought to be charged with child abuse, it ought to be the New Mexico State Police.”

The state police policy on use of deadly force says that “decisions to discharge a firearm at or from a moving vehicle … are prohibited if they present an unreasonable risk to the officer or others.”

Under state police policy on high-speed chases, a chase can be called off “if it is believed the continuation will be more dangerous to the public, officers, and/or the person being pursued than the necessity to capture the suspect.”

A traffic stop unravels The Taos incident began when the state police officer, Tony DeTavis, pulled over Ferrell’s minivan on N.M. 518 on the outskirts of town, where police said she had been driving 71 mph in a 55 mph zone.

According to the video, DeTavis stood by her car for several minutes, trying to explain to her that she had to sign her speeding violation or report immediately to court. It’s a point Ferrell couldn’t seem to grasp.

“I don’t know what I can do,” she is heard saying on the video.

“I can’t make a decision right now.”

At one point in the video, DeTavis seems to offer an olive

branch — he reminds the woman he’s not charging her with driving without a current license. He then steps back and tells Ferrell to think about what she wants to do. But as he turns to walk back to his car, she starts the minivan and drives away.

DeTavis then runs to his vehicle, switches on the siren and chases after Ferrell. She pulls over a short time later, and this time the officer is less patient.

“Get out of the vehicle,” he tells her. “Get out of the vehicle.”

Ferrell’s 14-year-old son emerges from the vehicle, but he retreats back inside when the officer threatens him with a Taser.

Ferrell finally offers to sign the citation, but DeTavis says she has to exit her car. For five minutes, he tries to convince her to exit the vehicle. She finally emerges, and DeTavis tries putting her in handcuffs.

That’s when the incident really starts to unravel.

In a flurry of limbs, the 14-year-old launches himself at the officer, and other children emerge from the vehicle. Ferrell eventually scrambles back in the van. DeTavis points a Taser at the teen, who also gets back in the van, and the family members appear to lock themselves in.

DeTavis moves around to the passenger side and tries in vain to open the door. At that point, two other state police cars pull up, and two officers jump out and draw their weapons. One of the officers, Anthony Luna, joins DeTavis on the passenger side of the minivan as DeTavis whips out his collapsible baton and begins whaling on the window, sending shards of glass flying as the window shatters. The other officer, Elias Montoya, moves to the rear of the van.

Ferrell pulls away a second time. That’s when Montoya opens fire. He stoops over and, with both hands on his handgun, shoots several times in the direction of the van’s tires. Officer Luna also takes aim but does not appear to fire.

The officers pursue Ferrell through the unincorporated community of Talpa and then north on N.M. 68 toward Taos at speeds of up to 100 mph.

“She continued to flee at a high rate of speed running several vehicles off of the roadway in an attempt to get away,” DeTavis wrote in a statement of probable cause filed with Taos County Magistrate Court.

In the video, Ferrell can be

seen veering in and out of traffic.

She almost rolls the van at one point as she turns into the driveway of the Hotel Don Fernando de Taos Hotel, where she finally stops at the front entrance.

With guns drawn, the officers order Ferrell and her children out of the car. One by one, the children drop to the ground in prone positions as the officers arrest Ferrell and her 14-year-old son.

The four other children in the vehicle, ranging in age from 6 to 18, were taken into custody by the state Children, Youth and Families Department. They were placed in the care of a family known to Ferrell.

The woman was booked into the Taos County jail and initially charged with five counts of abuse of a child, aggravated fleeing from a law-enforcement officer, evading a law-enforcement officer, reckless driving and use or possession of drug paraphernalia.

That latter charge was due to the discovery of two pipes in Ferrell’s vehicle that prosecutors later suggested were used for smoking marijuana.

In an initial report, officers said Ferrell was in possession of a firearm, but no weapons charges were filed in a Nov. 7 grand jury indictment. Lt. Edwardo Martínez, commander of the state police substation in Taos, said the only gun discovered in the minivan was a toy.

During Ferrell’s arraignment in the 8th Judicial District Court on Nov. 12, her defense attorney, Maestas, told Judge Jeff McElroy that officers could have used a safer method to apprehend Ferrell, such as placing spike strips on the roadway to pop her tires or by issuing a warrant for her arrest.

He also said the woman fled because she feared for her safety and the safety of her children.

On Wednesday, Martínez said the officer who fired at Ferrell’s vehicle was not aware children were inside the minivan.

Little information about DeTavis could be found. Montoya, the officer who fired the shots at the van, is the son of a minister and was profiled by The Taos News in 2010 for his work mentoring at-risk boys in a program started by the Taos-based social services organization Nonviolence Works.

Three fatal police shootings The other three New Mexico State Police shootings in the past

month ended with fatalities.

The first, on Oct. 21, led to the death of Cristoval Quintana, 30, of Lovington. A news release said Quintana had a violent criminal history at the time and was under federal probation. In that case, Quintana had attempted to flee in his vehicle from state police before officers eventually stopped his car with a spike strip.

But the release said Quintana took out a gun and started firing at the officers. He hit one officer in the leg before police eventually shot and killed him.

The next case occurred in Española on Oct. 24, when state police officers shot and killed Rogelio Cisneros-Chavez, 22, after officers tracked him to an apartment complex in the community a half-hour north of Santa Fe. State police had been searching for the man in connection with a $7,600 larceny and an active arrest warrant.

Agent Joey Gallegos, who has more than a decade of experience on the force, exchanged gunfire with Cisneros-Chavez and received a bullet wound to the abdomen that required hospitalization.

The most recent shooting occurred in Santa Fe and ended with the death of 39-year-old Jeanette Anaya, who had led police on a five-minute chase before crashing in a residential neighborhood. According to police statements, Anaya tried to hit Officer Oliver Wilson with her vehicle, and Wilson fired several rounds, killing Anaya. Her passenger, a 34-year-old man, was uninjured, said a state police spokesman, Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez. State police are continuing to investigate that incident. Wilson was initially put on administrative leave, but he returned to active duty last week, Gutierrez said.

Tom Clark, an attorney for the family of Anaya, said the pursuit was unjustified, and he wants state police to release video from the officer’s dashboard camera, which he says will clear up questions in the case.

“It’s really frustrating for the family not to know exactly what happened,” he said in an interview Monday.

On the decline

Gas prices continue to drop around country, state

ncreased supplies and a drop in seasonal demand helped push gasoline prices down in the past month, with the pump price at some Santa Fe stations falling below $3 a gallon.

As of Monday, Murphy Express at 5301 Soleras Drive, on the far southwest end of Santa Fe, was selling self-service regular gasoline for $2.769 a gallon.

But several stations around town were selling it at $2.999 a gallon this week — for example, at the combination Phillips 66/ Burger King at the corner of St. Francis Drive and West Alameda Street.

Peerless Tires, 3010 Cerrillos Road, traditionally has had among Santa Fe’s lowest gasoline prices. But this week, it was selling for $3.089 there.

The most frequently cited price in town this week is $3.099 a gallon — at the Allsup’s Convenience Stores at 305 N. Guadalupe St. and 650 Cerrillos Road, the Giant stations at 1009 St. Francis Drive and 2691 Sawmill Road, and the Brewer/Chevron station at 1010 S. St. Francis Drive.

Charlie Brewer, head of Brewer Oil Co., which supplies gasoline to commercial customers and 37 retail stations, said the use of fracking (hydraulic fracturing), horizontaldrilling techniques and new pipelines have increased the domestic petroleum supplies available, but he’s not sure what will happen next.

“The last two and a half years, I’ve seen

things I’ve never seen before in the industry, and it’s unpredictable,” he said. “I gave up trying to figure out what it’s going to do next. …

“It’s really fascinating to me to read about it,” he said, “but there’s such a variation in prices it’s hard for us to figure out where to buy fuel everyday because there’s such a huge price differential.”

The American Automobile Association says the price of petroleum is falling in every state in the union.

Nationally, as of last week, the average price in the United States was $3.19 a gallon — down from $3.22 a week ago, $3.44 this time a year ago and $4.11, the all time high in July 2008.

New Mexico’s statewide average price last week, according to the AAA, was $3.03 — down from $3.07 a week earlier, $3.38 this time a year ago and $4.08, the all-time high price in July 2008.

Gasoline in New Mexico costs less than in two of the three contiguous states — $3.15 in Arizona and $3.22 in Colorado. Only Texas has a lower average price of $2.95.

Santa Fe’s average price last week was $2.96 per gallon — higher than Albuquerque at $2.92 and Las Cruces at $2.95.

According to AAA, the average price of gasoline has fallen below $3 a gallon in six states — Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Weekly declines have been most dramatic in the Midwest and Great Plains states where gasoline demand remains weak and supplies comfortable.

The nation’s highest average gasoline price, according to gasbuddy.com, is $3.953 a gallon

Allsup’s on St. Michael’s Drive sold unleaded regular gasoline for $3.089 a gallon on Monday.

in Hawaii, followed by $3.65 in Alaska, $3.564 in Connecticut, $3.549 in California and $3.553 in New York.

“Although not below the $3 per gallon mark, New Mexicans are still enjoying among the top ten cheapest statewide gas price averages in the country,” said Doug Shupe, AAA’s spokesman for Texas and New Mexico. “The savings at the pumps will certainly benefit people who are planning to take road trips to spend the upcoming holiday season with friends, family and loved ones.”

Gov. urges teens not to text while driving State has failed to pass bills specifically prohibiting act

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez on Monday tried to boost the ongoing campaign to convince teenagers not to text while they drive.

“There’s no text message or phone call that’s worth a young person’s life,” Martinez said in a news release urging teens to take an anti-texting and driving pledge, post videos on their Facebook pages and talk to friends about the issue. “But most importantly, don’t be afraid to speak up as a passenger to call out your friends if you see them using a cell phone while driving.”

This voluntary approach advocated Monday by Martinez underscores the fact that the state Legislature in recent years repeatedly has failed to pass bills that specifically would prohibit texting while driving.

Drivers who cause accidents

while engaging in such activities as using a cellphone can be cited under existing state law for an offense called “distracted driving.”

In this year’s session, a textingwhile-driving bill sponsored by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, passed through Senate committees but died on the Senate floor, where it was stuck for weeks without a hearing.

The bill was opposed by Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, a lawyer who has been consistent throughout his legislative career in opposing stricter penalties for various crimes. “Making the penalties tougher just doesn’t work,” he said in an interview during this year’s session.

Sanchez said he was concerned that advocates for tougher laws against texting and driving would use the relatively lenient penalties in Wirth’s bill as a “foot in the door” and come back in future sessions demanding stricter penalties. Wirth’s bill would have established fines of $25 for a first violation for texting while driving and $50 for a second and subsequent violations.

“We need to do a better job

educating people at a young age,” Sanchez said of the texting bill in March.

Wirth said Monday he wants to introSusana duce the texting Martinez bill again in next year’s session.

“I have a bill drafted which is identical to the bill which passed Senate Judiciary Committee last session,” he said. “I sent an email to the Governor’s Office on Saturday asking that it be considered in 2014.”

A spokesperson for Martinez said Monday that the agenda for the session, which begins in January, hasn’t been set. Next year’s session is a 30-day session will mainly be concerned with budget issues, though the governor can put other issues on her call.

But spokesman Enrique Knell said Martinez “has been supportive of efforts to ban texting and driving in the state in the past.”

He pointed out that the federal government has set aside a $22.5 million “Distracted Driv-

ing” incentive grant that can be shared among states that enact and enforce laws against texting while driving.

“Because the legislature has failed to adopt these federal standards, New Mexico remains ineligible to receive this additional funding,” Knell said. “The sooner we participate in this federal program, the larger share we will receive. Distracted driving is an important issue, especially amongst our connected teens.

The governor feels it’s important to help teens understand the very real dangers posed by texting while driving.”

Under existing New Mexico law, teen drivers who are caught using mobile phones while driving on a provisional license in the state’s graduated license system have to spend an additional 90 days for every offense before receiving a full license. This came from a 2011 bill sponsored by Wirth and signed into law by Martinez.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, New Mexico is one of only nine states that doesn’t specifically ban texting and driving for all drivers.

The Santa Fe Community College governing board announced Monday evening that it is placing the school’s president, Ana “Cha” Guzmán, on paid leave.

The statement, which came following a closed meeting, didn’t give a reason for the decision on Guzmán, whom the board in August had put under tight scrutiny in the wake of several complaints from staff members.

The statement only said that she will remain on administrative leave “pending further action by the board.”

Randy Grissom, vice president of academic affairs, was appointed as acting president.

Guzmán did not respond to a tele- Ana ‘Cha’ Guzmán phone message or an email seeking comment Monday night.

Speaking by phone Monday night, board Vice President Andrea Bermúdez, a Guzmán supporter, said, “A grave injustice has been done.” She said the vote was 3-2, with she and board President Chris Abeyta voting against the action.

Bermúdez praised Guzmán for increasing the college’s graduation rate and finding money to give staff and faculty members a raise for the first time in years. But, she said, some board members do “not like [Guzmán’s] personality.”

Board member Kathy Keith said, “It’s a personnel issue, so, therefore, I cannot say much. What I can tell you is that there will be a meeting with her in the next couple of weeks, so we will have a chance to talk.

We’re working through this together, and we all have the best interest of the college in mind.”

Keith said Grissom was the obvious choice to step in as acting president.

Also reached by phone, board member Martha Romero said, “We need to give Dr. Guzmán an opportunity to respond if she would like to respond.”

Romero also called the situation a “personnel issue.”

Board member Linda Siegle declined to comment, and Abeyta couldn’t be reached.

The board hired Guzmán last year to replace retiring president Sheila Ortega at an an annual salary of about $196,000 plus benefits.

The four-year contract includes an extension/early termination clause based on an annual evaluation by June 1 of each year.

However, in August of this year, following a closeddoor session, the board announced that it planned to evaluate Guzmán’s performance again in six months.

Board members declined further comment at that time, but the move was seen as one designed to keep the president on a short leash.

The termination clause in Guzmán’s contract stipulates that the board can terminate her employment with written notice if it has just cause. If she is fired, the clause states, she must be placed immediately on administrative leave with full salary, housing and insurance benefits, and she may not enter the college campus or have access to any college facilities or personnel.

The clause gives her 10 days to request a hearing to respond to the board in a closed session.

If no hearing is requested after the written termination notice, the president’s employment will be terminated after 10 days, and all benefits, including salary, will cease. And even if a hearing is requested, a majority of the board could still vote for termination.

In August, the college announced it had spent about $15,000 to hire an independent, Albuquerque-based investigator to look into staff concerns about the way the Guzmán had been directing the institution. A board member said the panel had sought the report after fielding complaints from campus employees about her management style. Guzmán said at that time that she welcomed the investigation.

The college’s Faculty Senate and Staff Senate had issued reports earlier in the year, questioning Guzmán’s decisions and communication skills, saying she had shown disregard for employees’ input and experience, creating “a high level of dissatisfaction on this campus.”

Among the positive actions cited by Guzmán was an administrative restructuring that cut back the number of deans from five to three, saving about $300,000 that was used to hire five new full-time faculty members. She also made changes in work shifts during summer months. But these moves also brought criticism of her management style.

She emphasized retaining, rather than recruiting, students in an effort to graduate more associatedegree students within the expected two-year period.

About 18 people — most of whom identified themselves as college employees — spoke in support of Guzmán during that August meeting, arguing that because she was a forceful agent of change, some people at the school were at odds with her. But at least one person speaking at that meeting suggested the president’s opponents and critics were afraid to speak out in fear of retaliation.

The college’s governing board has a regular meeting set for 5 p.m. Tuesday at the campus on Richards Avenue. Nothing on the agenda suggests the board will be discussing Guzmán, though several items indicate she is expected to make some reports and presentations.

Governor’s Office: State agency misused executive privilege

By Bryant Furlow

New Mexico In Depth

When it cited executive privilege in refusing to disclose emails requested by New Mexico In Depth last month, the state’s Human Services Department violated an executive order Gov. Susana Martinez signed the day she took office.

And though the Governor’s Office recently chastised Human Services for inappropriately citing executive privilege to withhold documents, an attorney for the governor still directed the department to keep the emails secret.

In response to an Oct. 11 Inspection of Public Records Act request, the Human Services Department refused to disclose 241 emails and attachments related to state and federal “Sole Community Provider” funding for hospitals in underserved communities. Like the state’s Medicaid and behavioral health programs, hospitals’ Sole Community Provider funding is undergoing an overhaul that could affect patients across the state.

When an agency refuses to release records, it must cite an exemption to the records law that allows it to keep the documents secret. For example, personnel records can be withheld. In this case, the department cited the “attorney-client privilege exemption and … the work product privilege” in withholding most of the emails New

Mexico In Depth requested.

Those exceptions permit communications between attorneys and their clients, as well as records describing public hospitals’ long-range or strategic business plans, to be withheld from public disclosure.

But the agency also cited “executive privilege” — a power claimed by the chief executive — in withholding three emails.

Only Martinez’s office can authorize such use of executive privilege. Martinez’s Executive Order 2011-003, signed shortly after she took office, declared that “access to public information should be the rule, and denial thereof the exception.”

She ordered that state agencies could cite executive privilege to withhold records only with approval from her office.

That was at least in part due to Martinez’s belief that the administration of her predecessor, Bill Richardson, used execu-

tive privilege inappropriately to keep records secret. In her 2011 State of the State address, Martinez talked about operating state government “in an open and transparent manner,” saying that’s why she “signed an executive order prohibiting state agencies from frivolously using executive privilege to block open records requests.”

Pressed for an explanation

by New Mexico In Depth on its citing of executive privilege to withhold the three emails, the department consulted the Governor’s Office. Martinez’s Assistant General Counsel Matthew Stackpole responded in a Nov. 1 email to the department, saying the agency should have consulted the Governor’s Office before citing executive privilege. He also wrote that citing executive privilege was inappropriate in the case of two of the three emails.

“Please remember that in

future [Inspection of Public Records Act] productions, only the Governor can claim Executive Privilege over a communication, and your agency needs to consult our Office before making such a claim,” Stackpole’s email states.

But rather than ordering the department to release the two emails, Stackpole advised the agency to shift its justification for keeping them secret, telling the department that the “appropriate response” would be to cite attorney-client privilege.

The Governor’s Office also subsequently approved the department’s invocation of executive privilege to withhold separately-requested 2012 emails about plans for the state’s online Health Insurance Exchange marketplace.

Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell did not respond to emails requesting comment.

This isn’t the first time the

department has come under scrutiny for withholding records. New Mexico In Depth and the Las Cruces Sun-News are suing the agency, and so is the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, to try to win release of an audit it used to justify freezing Medicaid payments to 15 health organizations — an audit the department and the Attorney General’s Office have largely kept secret.

And though the department has shifted its justification for withholding the emails related to Sole Community Provider funding and now claims executive privilege applies to only one of the three, it’s still not in compliance with the public records law or the governor’s executive order.

When the governor approves an agency’s use of executive privilege, Martinez’s executive order requires that redacted versions of requested docu-

ments be released “so that any other information on the document that is properly public is disclosed.”

HSD didn’t release redacted versions of the three emails when it claimed executive privilege in October. Now that it’s shifted to claiming executive privilege for only one email, it still hasn’t released a redacted version of that document.

The agency did review the 238 other initially withheld emails and attachments, however, disclosing 23 of them on Nov. 5. But the agency did not explain why the belatedly disclosed documents had been withheld in the first place.

State law requires that the agency explain why it’s withholding records.

15 N.M. teachers to transfer

LAS CRUCES — New Mexico Education Secretary Hanna Skandera says the state is “off to a good start” with 15 teachers each approved to receive a $5,000 stipend for transferring from a top-graded school to a low-graded one.

According to the Las Cruces Sun-News, the teachers worked for the Las Cruces, Taos, Las Vegas City, Española, Estancia and Gallup school districts.

Teachers qualifying for stipends must have worked full-time at schools with A or B grades last year and they must now teach full-time at schools with D or F grades. And they have to stay at the D-F school through the 2014-2015 school year.

The state began the program in September but Skandera says all the teachers receiving the stipends had transferred before the announcement.

el Norte Credit Union (DNCU) has served members throughout northern New Mexico since 1954, with a pledge to offer unbiased financial advice.

Their mission often takes the shape of a financial literacy advocate to help over 40,000 members address a variety of financial issues throughout their lives. “Our members rely on us for personal advice and education for their financial needs, and we take this privilege seriously,” says Chuck Valenti, President/CEO. DNCU’s role as a financial cooperative means that it is member owned and monies stay in the communities served. DNCU has three branches in Santa Fe, one in Espanola, one in White Rock and one in Los Alamos. No stockholders or a liaison with a national financial institution mean DNCU’s focus is kept on local financing and member satisfaction.

Buying a car, a home or acquiring a personal loan or credit card are significant financial milestones that are best served by a financial institution that puts the emphasis on member success. DNCU puts

Rabid dog euthanized Health officials have confirmed that a 6-month-old dog in Valencia County had rabies.

The New Mexico Department of Health says the dog was euthanized after it was found to have rabies last week.

Authorities say there were no known people or other animals that were bitten by the dog while it was contagious, but officials are talking to the dog’s owner and other people to look for possible rabies exposures.

The dog was trapped and taken to an animal shelter after officials say it had harassed livestock and killed chickens.

N.M. woman was homicide victim GALLUP — An Arizona sheriff’s detective says a New Mexico woman whose body was found in the desert near Tucson was a victim of a violent homicide.

According to the Gallup Independent, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office is still trying to piece together circumstances leading to the death of 39-year-old Victoria Harrison Delgado of Gallup.

But detective James Brown says Delgado was last seen in September 2012 getting into a van in a midtown Tucson neighborhood known as a “high drug addiction area.”

Her remains were found by a horseback rider last March, and an autopsy identified them as Delgado’s.

“We stand strong in the neighborhoods in which we operate. We are a leading lender at many auto dealerships and decisions about mortgages are made locally, providing our members with an advantage that other financial institutions can’t match,” says Steve Leugers, Chief Lending Officer. As a premier auto lender in northern New Mexico, DNCU offers competitive rates and a user friendly, fast and convenient preapproval auto loan process available online, on the phone or in any of our friendly branches. Members can finance a car at local auto dealerships by asking for DNCU financing at the time of purchase, refinance a current auto loan or finance a private party automotive purchase. “We are offering a three-month deferment on auto loan payments for members who close on an auto loan with us by December 31, 2013, which is a great way

to have extra cash in hand for holiday shopping,” says Yvette Romero, Consumer Lending Manager, .

With an expanded mortgage lending department, DNCU is equipped to provide mortgage finance options for members. “Our local understanding of lending, title, appraisal and underwriting sets us apart in the mortgage lending world,” says Sarah Hosford, Mortgage Lending Manager. And DNCU’s in-depth knowledge of the range of properties in northern New Mexico also plays an important part of its financing success. “Whether a 100-year-old traditional adobe in downtown Santa Fe, a rural home in Pecos or a property in the Española Valley with an involved land transfer history, we have the expertise to bring the transaction to a successful completion,” says Kristopher Alvarado, Mortgage Loan Officer.

S.F. mayor’s race down to 5 candidates

Motel 6 night auditor Michael D’Anna failed to collect the required number of valid voter signatures to get on the March 4 election ballot as a candidate for mayor, reducing the field of candidates to five.

Candidates for mayor were required to turn in at least 265 signatures on nominating petitions. D’Anna collected 298 signatures, but only 79 were found to be valid signatures of eligible city voters, City Clerk Yolanda Vigil said Monday.

Monday was the deadline for mayoral and council candidates seeking public financing to submit their qualifying contributions. Mayoral candidates had to turn in at least 600 individual $5 contributions.

All five remaining mayoral candidates are seeking public financing, and all five met Monday’s deadline.

They are city councilors Patti Bushee,

Bill Dimas and Rebecca Wurzburger; Roman “Tiger” Abeyta, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe; and Javier Gonzales, a former state Democratic Party chairman and county commissioner.

The deadline for candidates to withdraw is Dec. 13.

Hotel, EEOC settle religious bias case ALBUQUERQUE — A federal civil rights agency and an Albuquerque hotel have settled the agency’s religious discrimination lawsuit filed on behalf of a housekeeper who was fired when she refused to not wear her head scarf.

The settlement between the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the owners of the MCM Elegante Hotel received court approval from a federal judge last week.

The agreement means Safia Abdullah will receive $100,000 in back pay and compensatory damages.

SCENE SCENE

The EEOC says the firing violated federal civil rights law that prohibits firing or refusing to hire people because of their religion or religious practices.

The hotel owners denied the allegations in the EEOC’s lawsuit and said in court papers they settled the case to avoid the risks and expenses of continued litigation.

Man gets 14 years for bank robberies ALBUQUERQUE — A Moriarty man faces 14 years in prison after being sentenced Monday for two Albuquerque bank robberies.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Mexico says 47-year-old Georges Marius Hyatt also must served three years of supervised release after his prison term and pay restitution.

Hyatt pleaded guilty in March to felony charges accusing him in the July 2012 robberies of a New Mexico Federal Credit Union branch and of a Bank of the West branch.

Hyatt was sentenced Monday.

Source of carbon monoxide in mine unknown Gas leak killed two, injured 19 in Colorado

By Colleen Slevin

The Associated Press

DENVER — Authorities on Monday were trying to determine the source of carbon monoxide blamed for killing two men and injuring others at a mine in southwestern Colorado.

Ouray County officials said they have ruled out an explosion and mine collapse as the immediate cause of the deaths of Nick Cappanno, 34, of Montrose and Rick Williams, 59, of Durango on Sunday at the Revenue-Virginius mine.

However, the Montrose Daily Press and The Denver Post reported that investigators were looking at whether a small blast on Saturday at the underground gold, silver and lead mine may have been the cause of the carbon monoxide problem.

“I believe a blast was involved, which did create some gases which potentially the miners did inhale,” Rory Williams, manager for the mine’s owner, Denver-based Star Mine Operations LLC, told the Daily Press.

Nineteen other miners were taken to a hospital and four were admitted. They were listed in fair condition.

The investigation will be done by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration.

A possible blast on Saturday would be something investigators would look into as part of the chronology of events leading to the deaths, administration spokeswoman Amy Louviere said.

Officials also will interview witnesses and inspect any equipment involved for possible malfunctions, she said.

Rory Williams, who is not related to Rick Williams, said all of the men are required to wear personal respirators, and the two who died had them. It was unclear, however, if the workers were wearing the respirators.

Rory Williams said it doesn’t appear there was an equipment malfunction, the Post reported.

“I knew both of these individuals personally,” Rory Williams said. “They were hardworking men. They were great men. They will be remembered indeed.”

About 100 miners work at the site about 270 miles southwest of Denver, which will be closed until the end of the investigation.

Star Mine acquired the property in 2011 and got a permit to start mining in February. All the mining is done by drilling and blasting, according to state regulators.

The last major mining disaster in Colorado occurred on April 15, 1981, when an explosion killed 15 people at the Mid-Continent Dutch Creek No. 1 Mine near Redstone.

There have been eight mining deaths in the state since 2002, not including the two Sunday, according to the mine safety agency.

No crime found in malamute death MISSOULA, Mont. — The Missoula County sheriff’s office has ended its investigation into the fatal shooting of a malamute on Lolo Pass by a hunter who apparently mistook it for a wolf.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Paige Pavalone said Monday the agency passed the case over to the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the U.S. Forest Service, the Missoulian reported.

“There is no criminal activity here, and this is out of our jurisdiction,” Pavalone said. “We don’t have any witnesses and we’re not investigating the situation any further.”

Spokespersons for both FWP and the Forest Service had said Monday morning that they believed the case would be a criminal matter.

While spending the first part of his life in Dallas, Texas, it was the second part of his life spent in New Mexico that brought him the most joy. When not engaged in real estate projects, Leon was the most happy at home, on his property, being one with nature and riding and taking care of his horses.

IN LOVING MEMORY

THOMAS TUCKER

"TWO TOKES" APRIL 27, 1956 - OCTOBER 26, 2013 We, the friends and family of Thomas are saddened by his passing. However we will forever embrace all of the wonderful times we shared with him. He passed in Santa Fe, his adopted home since his first ramblings here in the 1970’s as a young man with a back pack and a passion for living.

Thomas was gifted with a very high IQ, mechanical abilities "he could repair anything" and an over abundant appetite to consume books. He conducted great conversations that engaged us all. He was kind and generous, often giving away all of his belongings to other homeless people.

Thomas, thank you for enlightening our lives. A day will not go by that you will not be in our thoughts.

2/4/1966 – 11/14/2013

THOMAS D. REES Thomas D. Rees, MD, FACS, 86, a distinguished and widely-honored plastic surgeon who also devoted much of his life to providing his skills and extensive medical care to the people of East Africa, passed away peacefully at his home in Santa Fe, NM, in the early evening hours of Thursday, November 14th, 2013. He follows his beloved wife, Nan, who passed away in May of 2012, his son David M. Rees, and is survived by his son Thomas D. Rees, Jr., daughter S. Elizabeth Rees, brother J. Richard Rees, MD, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dr. Rees was born in Nephi and raised in Salt Lake City, UT, the son of University of Utah professor Don M. Rees, PhD, and Norma A. Rees, and was a second generation descendent of Mormon pioneers from the south of Wales. He graduated from the University of Utah with a BA in 1946, and an MD in 1948, and from which he received an honorary Doctor of Science degree in 2013. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1945, also served from 19571958, and was honorably discharged a Lt. Commander.

Dr. Rees trained in general and plastic surgery at the Genesee Hospital in Rochester, NY, and The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in New York City, followed by a prestigious fellowship in plastic surgery at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, in Sussex, England. He was privileged to work under Sir Archibald McIndoe, a pioneering New Zealand plastic surgeon who was famous for his work on the RAF pilots largely credited with saving England in the Battle of Britain in WWII. During his fellowship, Dr. Rees was invited by Sir Archibald to visit his ranch in Kenya. While enjoying “sundowners” together with Sir Michael Wood (another fellow under Sir Archibald and a transplant to Kenya), the three surgeons founded the Flying Doctors of East Africa in 1957.

The three founders flew into the bush to set up clinics in rural areas of East Africa to enable advanced medical care ranging from vaccinations to operating on and treating local patients with congenital deformities and other conditions requiring extensive surgery and reconstruction. Radio and TV personality Arthur Godfrey donated their first plane, and through worldwide fundraising and government aid, the three surgeons created the organization now known as AMREF (African Medical & Research Foundation), which has grown into Africa’s largest health development NGO. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, AMREF has offices in 11 countries in North America and Europe. AMREF now employs more than 1,000 health professionals and experts, 97% African, with 90% living in the communities in which they work.

Over the past five decades, AMREF has received numerous awards for its contributions to African health development. Most recent include the Gates Award for Global Health, recognizing organizations that have made an outstanding contribution to improving global health, especially in resourcepoor settings, and the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Award, the world’s largest humanitarian prize given to an organization that is significantly alleviating human suffering.

Dr. Rees traveled to Africa annually and wrote a memoir about his experiences entitled Daktari: A Surgeon’s Adventures with the Flying Doctors of East Africa."

Dr. Rees’ contributions to the areas of plastic surgery techniques, education, and credibility cannot be overstated. He established his plastic and cosmetic surgery practice in New York City in 1957, at a time when there were only a handful of practicing plastic surgeons. With few exceptions, the field of plastic surgery was very insular in that most surgeons were fiercely protective of their techniques.

Dr. Rees was only happy to open up his operating room to students, and he loved teaching and writing. He mentored thousands of fledgling plastic surgeons throughout his career; in his capacity as the Chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital from 19751992; directing the MEETH Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship; and teaching at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery of the NYU Langone Medical Center. For over 25 years, Dr. Rees organized and co-chaired an annual Symposium on Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in New York City. These symposia feature a faculty composed of surgeons of different disciplines and nationalities, and are attended by surgeons from all over the world.

Dr. Rees was a Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the New York University School of Medicine, Chairman Emeritus of the Department of Plastic Surgery at MEETH, as well as a past president of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and a former director and vice-chairman of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He was a frequent lecturer at medical institutions, symposia and forums all over the world, and the author of more than 140 medical articles and six medical texts, including the two-volume Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, long the bible for surgeons in training.

Dr. Thomas Rees had many talents and interests that extended beyond medicine. He was a philanthropist, an avid fly fisherman in the west and saltwater and deep-sea fisherman in the east, a skier, at home on horseback, a jazz saxophonist who sat in with some of the best of his era. Upon retirement, he became an acclaimed sculptor in Santa Fe whose work reflected his experiences and feelings for the people, animals, and environment of Africa and his work was exhibited in 2009 at the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe. Dr. Rees’ transformative surgical skills touched celebrities, political figures, heads of state and their families and the people of East Africa. In all of this, he was accompanied, encouraged, and supported by his adored wife Nan.

I miss our conversations, discussions and debates and how you would take a position simply to argue a point. I miss your appreciation of sports and your passion for the Red Sox (what a year) and the 49ers (worries). I miss the equestrian crowd; long trips hauling horses and watching you ride in 3-day events when you rode like the wind across the cross country courses. Most of all I miss you and what you would have become. Love, Dad It has been ten years, half again your short life here with us. I hold these precious memories ever tighter, the ache in my heart undiminished by time. And yet I am propelled down life’s path by the inspiration of your grace and courage and by the voice within me that tells me you are still among us.

You are loved forever by your sister Liz, by Jordan, by your grandpa and all those who knew you. Love, Mommy

Loan Fund infusion helps launch gym for elite athletes

Dream machine Business broker helps bring new entrepreneurs to Santa Fe

By Dennis J. Carroll

For The New Mexican

K

evin McBride, born and raised in the American West but now living parttime in Florida, has had his eye on moving to Santa Fe full time.

He said he had been looking for a way to move to the City Different, which has the “perfect blend of climate, culture and nature,” and settle into the community, so was shopping around for business opportunities.

“I was looking for two things,” McBride said, “a good consumer-oriented business and a terrific location.”

With the help of Michael Greene, owner of business broker Sam Goldenberg and Associates, McBride found that combination in his purchase this year of the Häagen-Dazs/Plaza Bakery on the southwest corner of the Plaza.

Until a couple of years ago, the business had long been in the hands of Fred and Patti Libby. Their sale of the business to Texas investor Ralph Koslin in the summer of 2011 apparently turned problematic.

It’s the qualities of the city cited by McBride — that its special lure often turns visitors into residents — that makes Santa Fe unique in its ability to attract new businesses and new owners for old businesses. “Some people want to buy a business to get to Santa Fe,” Greene said. “But it needs to be a perfect storm” involving finances, family matters and timing, he said.

Greene, along with fellow business manager and consultant Steve Dennis, took over the brokerage firm shortly after the sudden death in 2007 of Goldenberg, who had founded it in 1983 and ran it mostly as a one-person shop out of his home in the Quail Run neighborhood. (Dennis moved to Texas several years ago.) “[Goldenberg’s] family very much wanted it to continue,” Greene said. “There was a legacy there.”

Greene, a Harvard Law School graduate with extensive merger and acquisition endeavours in Southern California, expanded Goldenberg’s operations extensively.

“We thought we needed to build up scale quite a bit,” said Greene, who had previously

Business incubator to hold open house The Santa Fe Business Incubator and WESST will join together to celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week with a business resources open house from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday at the incubator, 3900 Paseo del Sol, off Airport Road.

founded the Goldsmith Group, with clientele across North America. He added three staff members, established a downtown location and waded deep into Internet marketing.

“We have major Web presence everywhere because it is becoming more important to reach out effectively.” Greene also stepped up the number of business and other property evaluations.

Greene’s firm, which is part of the global Sunbelt brokerage network, now also conducts evaluations for such matters as business sales and buyouts, attorneys and divorces.

He said one of the main client complaints about business brokers and related firms is that they “don’t return phone calls … I have made it a top priority to keep our sellers informed all along the way. We don’t want people to feel we list their business and forget about them, because we don’t.”

Greene said he senses an uptick in Santa Fe’s business economy since the virtual crash in late 2008. “In the years 2009 and 2010, it was harder to sell businesses. People were

interested but they were fearful that the downward trends were going to continue.”

Since 2011, he said, there was a definite sense of a rebound, and in the past couple of years, the firm has returned to its late-2007 levels.

He said the company’s goal is to maintain a sales listings of 30 to 40 businesses, which include much of Northern New Mexico, and to negotiate one sale a month, or about onethird of the listings. (Up to 40 percent of the company’s sales are businesses outside of Santa Fe, said Mark Griffith, Greene’s senior associate.) The firm takes a 10 percent commission on all sales.

“As we sell listings, we take on new listings,” Greene said. “And we try to be as diverse as we can.”

Greene’s current listings of businesses pretty much run the gamut from restaurants and nightclubs, retail and wholesale businesses, building trades and service-oriented firms. They include hot dog and chocolate shops, restaurants, coffeehouses, a sporting goods store, a private school, a publication and a plumbing company.

Some listed businesses, he said, such as the Wow Dawg Eatery, Cafe Cafe and The Spice Lady, don’t mind being mentioned publicly.

Others, not so much.

Greene also sees himself as a chief promoter of the city. “A lot of what we do is sell Santa Fe.” Reflecting McBride’s feelings, Greene said that many from outside New Mexico who end up buying or starting a business here “do so because they want to live here, and recognize that at heart this is a small-business community, and they feel the best way to be part of a community is to own a business.”

It’s no great exaggeration to say that Greene sees himself and the company as dream-makers, for both buyers and sellers.

“People have a dream to come here, to buy a business, and the people leaving have a new dream they want to follow. We’re the thing that makes those dreams come true.”

teven Horwath spent his career as a fitness trainer working at Albuquerque-area gyms with highly motivated, competitive athletes. Two years ago, he leased a 3,000-square-foot building in Albuquerque and opened his own gym to cater to this elite crowd.

Turning Point Strength and Conditioning provides structured, individualized workouts and state-of-the-art equipment designed to build strength, speed and agility.

Despite his years of expertise and a 40-page business plan, Horwath was unable to secure a $60,000 loan for his startup from a traditional bank. However, the bank’s loan officer referred the aspiring business owner to The Loan Fund, a nonprofit community development financial institution that helps business owners and nonprofit organizations throughout New Mexico by providing loans, training and business consulting.

“We didn’t have enough capital,” Horwath said during a break between training sessions. And neither he nor his co-owner wife, who also works as a teacher, had a track record as a busiJoe Justice ness owner.

The Loan Fund exists to help just this type of client — startups — and even established businesses that have a hard time finding debt financing from traditional sources. Many of its clients are businesses owned by women, minorities, Native Americans and residents of the state’s many rural areas.

The Loan Fund partners with the New Mexico Small Business Investment Corporation to lend state money from the Severance Tax Permanent Fund to small businesses in an effort to stimulate job creation, especially in the state’s many underserved communities. It is the largest lending partner of the New Mexico Small Business Investment Corporation.

Even though basic accounting was a challenge at first, Horwath said he didn’t need the business and consultation services that come with a loan from The Loan Fund — not after all the prep work he did on his business plan. “I had a game plan,” he said. “I was ready to go.”

Business growth and profitability is just where Horwath said he expected it to be by this time. “You see gyms come and go,” he admitted. But Turning Point isn’t going anywhere — except up and out, he said.

The gym’s orientation toward elite athletes — the type who train in New Mexico for its high-altitude challenges and sophisticated training facilities — has attracted high school and collegiate competitors, professional and semi-pro athletes, and recreational competitors who want to take their abilities to a higher level. The gym’s clients are athletes who want and need to work with a professional trainer to achieve specific sports and fitness goals.

Some of the gym’s premium time slots already have a waiting list, which has Horwath thinking about expanding his business — when the time is right. For now, he said, “We’re keeping low key until we get our loans paid off.”

LOOKING IN: MICHAEL ROBERTS

Our Web readers speak out: Santa Fe landscaper sees face of Jesus on rock, Nov. 13 I can’t decide if this is funny or just plain sad. Or “ maybe I should be spending more time trying to find a

religious figure in the stucco patterns on my walls.” L.S. I’m glad I’m not the only one to see a resemblance “ to Jabba the Hutt there.” D.G.

Martinez: Amtrak shouldn’t stick state with large tab, Nov. 14 We can fund spaceports, trains to Albuquerque “ and movie venues, but we can’t fund affordable

travel across the state. I absolutely hate paying New Mexico taxes, because nothing I ever care about is considered worthy of the state’s attention.” P.W.

I stand with Gov. [Susana] Martinez. … In essence, “ the way Amtrak wants things, the East Coast would be favored. Why should this so-called company spending everybody’s federal tax dollars be allowed to favor certain states, and only one region of the company? It is time that the leaders of Amtrak realize that they are a national train company, not just a Northeastern one. If they can’t do that, perhaps they should lose all their federal funding and try to make it on their own as a Northeastern company with Northeastern tax dollars.” S.M.

In all other modes of transportation (roadways, “ highways, airways, waterways), government and/

or government agencies own/maintain/control the transportation infrastructure upon which we operate our vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, planes, boats, barges). Ideally, the railways would be patterned after this same model, with government providing the tracks and stations, and the private sector providing the rolling stock that operates on the right of way. Private ownership of the right of way is a local monopoly that serves as a barrier to market competition. New Mexico should acquire this section of track and provide access to it to whomever wishes to operate trains on it regardless whether it’s Amtrak, local commuter trains or private tourist/dining trains.

Open the rails to real competition.” W.G.

No paper headbands, please A

merican novelist, writer, playwright, poet, essayist and civil rights activist James Baldwin probably stated it best in the 1989 documentary, The Price of the Ticket, when he said: “It comes as a great shock to discover that Gary Cooper was killing off the Indians, when you were rooting for Gary Cooper, that the Indians were you. It comes as a great shock to discover the country, which is your birthplace, and to which you owe your life and your identity, has not in its whole system of reality involved any place for you.”

When contemplating American Indians in the United States, we soon realize that to many Americans, American Indian History Month (or Native American Heritage Month) is American Indians’ only reality.

In fact, that reality might be best offered up by anti-racist activist Tim Wise in his book, White Like Me, when he described that to many, appreciation of other cultures is reserved to “food, fabric and festivals,” with nary a consideration for the sociopolitical views or the social economic realities these others face.

I begin each school year (for my two daughters) by approaching the school’s principal and teachers to educate them about American Indians, dispel myths and fight against the stereotypes they usually bring to the classroom. And the good news is that this often leads to the opportunity to go to my daughters’ classrooms and chat with their classmates about Indians. And for my daughters, this is an important part in them taking pride in their heritage and who they are as Native people.

Some years are better than others. For example, a few years ago, I had to specifically ask the principal to remove the goofy Indian caricatures from the entryway bulletin board. In more recent years, however, I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised, so the persistence must be paying off. In fact, I would love to give a special acknowledgement to the principal at my daughters’ school, who a couple of years ago sent the following message to his staff: “Please be sensitive to cultural stereotypes of all of our students. For the obvious reason that half of our students are of Hispanic/Latino ancestry, we are usually very aware of avoiding stereotypes of the Hispanic culture. However, we do have other cultures: Chinese, African American and Native American, to name a few. At this time of year, we can slip into stereotypes around Thanksgiving; i.e., the Pilgrims and the Indians.

“We have Native American families who are very sensitive of cultural stereotypes and we need to ensure we do not propagate those stereotypes. One of the practices to avoid is presenting sacred activities in trivial ways. A popular activity (I saw some on students’ heads at the end of the day today …) is making paper headbands with feathers. In some Native American tribes, feathers are highly religious articles, and the aforementioned activity is highly offensive and disrespectful.”

So as much time as I spend railing about what is not going right, let me take the time and acknowledge when it does. It is so refreshing to have a school leader like

that. I thank him for his work in making my daughters’ school an OK place to be Indian.

Here at First Nations Development Institute, we spend a fair amount of our time and energy building programs and opportunities for the next generation of culturally competent Native American leaders. I, and most Indian parents, spend an equal, if not greater, amount of energy doing so at home. We send our kids to school with the hope that they will survive these attempts at cultural indoctrination. Our fear for our kids’ self-worth and self-esteem is just as great as when our grandparents feared for the physical well-being of their children when they had to send them off to the horrors of Indian boarding schools.

You may be wondering, what can I do to help? Well, here are a couple of things you can do: Drop off, at your kids’ or grandkids’ school, a copy of Rethinking Columbus, edited by Bill Bigelow and Bob Patterson; and assist school libraries in finding books that portray Indians as living, thriving cultures, not as victims of history. One great publication provided by the American Indian Library Association and the Office of Literacy and Outreach Services is the Selective Bibliography and Guide for ‘I’ is Not for Indian: The Portrayal of Native Americans in Books for Young People. Print this off the Web and deliver it to the principal and the school librarian — www. nativeculturelinks.com/ailabib.htm.

Gunalchéesh! (Thank you, in my Native language of Tlingit).

Michael Roberts is the president of the First Nations Development Institute.

Only 172 enroll on health exchange in New Mexico, Nov. 14 The best advice? Scrap it. Five million people “ have lost their insurance in just one month.” J.G. Nobody has ‘lost’ anything. Policies that are/were “ being canceled were/are being replaced. The reason

they were canceled is because they are … policies that are unacceptable under the new guidelines. They were actually doing people a favor by canceling them, but since people are sheep and will listen to whomever shouts the loudest, Obama is going to make an exception. Suckers! The best advice? Get some real insurance on the exchange and stop your crying!” M.M.

It’s not all the fault of the feds’ technical glitches. “ Have any of the board members looked at the information on the state’s site? Price charts are split between two pages; plan names don’t match what the insurance companies call them. Benefits lists, at least for [Presbyterian], are a garbled mess. Confusing and poorly presented doesn’t help anybody. I hope the ‘update’ addresses all these issues. I’m a smart woman, and I still haven’t figured out what plan I want, much less applied for it.” K.B.

Our View: Focus on reading, not just retention, Nov. 14 Very thoughtfully written and right on target. “ Our governor, schools, parents and students would

be best served, however, by a secretary of education who actually has classroom experience and could think outside of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ box.” J.B.

Reading is critically important. Literacy Volunteers “ of Santa Fe is doing its best, but only able to serve a tiny fraction of the 1 in 3 adults in Santa Fe County who read below the sixth-grade level. We must improve reading proficiency through intervention and remediation. Retention is appropriate for some, to be sure. We need to be wary of the corporate interests and the political connections involved in some of the secretary-designate’s ‘urgent’ reform efforts. Check out the sponsors of Jeb Bush’s Foundation for Educational Excellence and their political motives. Are we going to see a push for more kids to get educated through K12 Inc. or charter schools?” M.M.

LOOKING IN: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

N.M. education is on losing side T he current state of war between Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera and teachers reminds me of a story.

A poor farmer was having trouble with one of his prize milk cows giving milk. He called in the state expert, a political appointee, to advise him. She had never actually raised or milked cows, but she had done some studies about them. After examining the cow, she concluded that they should cut off the cow’s leg, which was done. The farmer protested that the cow would die. The expert responded, “Hey, we had to do something, and cutting off the leg might help. Just give it some more time. Data show the cow will give even more milk. If not, we’ll cut off another leg.” Well, the cow died, the farmer lost his business and the expert was congratulated by the governor and got a big promotion. Welcome to New Mexico education.

Just banning the drilling is sending the message to neighbors that “you had better keep drilling, since we want petroleum from somewhere, just not here.”

A grateful return

I wish to commend John Blea and the good people of La Montanita Co-op. My husband and I were in Santa Fe two weekends ago celebrating our second anniversary, and I lost my wallet. We looked all over town, our hotel, the roads, restaurants and shops, but finally had to leave without the wallet. It was an unfortunate ending to a lovely trip. Last week, my dad told me he had received a call from Mr. Blea, who had found my wallet. Mr. Blea spent a week tracking me down, and not only did he return my wallet with everything in it, he sent a co-op reusable shopping bag. Mr. Blea is a credit to himself and La Montanita, but also to your city. Thank you! “Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

Freedom to marry: The time has come in New Mexico

T

his month marks the 10th anniversary of the historic Goodridge decision in Massachusetts, which granted marriage to its gay and lesbian citizens. That decision remains one of the most eloquent tributes to the institution of marriage and why government cannot deny that fundamental freedom to loving same-sex couples.

It also captures so much of what my nearly 40-year marriage has meant to me, my husband and our family, and I am not alone. Passages from the Goodridge decision have become one of the most common readings at weddings — gay and straight — across the country.

Here’s part of what Margaret Marshall wrote in the court’s decision: “Marriage is a vital social institution.

The exclusive commitment of two individuals to each other nurtures love and mutual support; it brings stability to our society. For those who choose to marry, and for their children, marriage provides an abundance of legal, financial, and social benefits. In return it imposes weighty legal, financial, and social obligations. … Without question, civil marriage enhances the ‘welfare of the community.’ It is a ‘social institution of the highest importance.’

“Marriage also bestows enormous private and social advantages on those

who choose to marry. Civil marriage is at once a deeply personal commitment to another human being and a highly public celebration of the ideals of mutuality, companionship, intimacy, fidelity, and family. … Because it fulfills yearnings for security, safe haven, and connection that express our common humanity, civil marriage is an esteemed institution, and the decision whether and whom to marry is among life’s momentous acts of self-definition.”

Like most of us, I’ve been lucky enough to have gay friends and family members whom I cherish. I just can’t imagine denying any of them the joy and, yes, the rights and benefits that

only flow from marriage.

Some will recall that as attorney general, I stopped the Sandoval County Clerk from issuing marriage licenses. But that had nothing to do with the constitutionality of samesex marriage and everything to do with individual county clerks acting on their own without the law behind them. I applaud the clerks for asking for a swift resolution by the state Supreme Court of the current checkerboard, where some counties grant marriage licenses and others do not.

While I’m hopeful the state Supreme Court will grant marriage equality in New Mexico, I believe that

is where the issue should be decided.

The Legislature should resist any temptation to continue to make marriage a divisive issue.

New Mexico has always been a land of freedom, of live and let live, and we all try to apply the golden rule — to treat others as we want to be treated ourselves. To me, that speaks directly to the freedom to marry. Marriage has been the cornerstone of my life, and I hope that soon in New Mexico, our gay and lesbian friends, neighbors and family members can have that same mix of celebration and security.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Keep front page for rational articles

O

ur locally owned paper makes the editorial decision that two locals claiming to see Jesus on a rock is front-page news.

Reminds me of Tweety Bird, made famous in countless Looney Tunes cartoons.

Tweety’s signature line was “I tawt I taw a puddy cat!” Pause. “I did! I did taw a puddy tat!”

If The New Mexican wants to survive, it will not be by assigning local superstitious rubbish such prominence.

Meanwhile, feel free to send a hard-charging, expert reporter to take my picture and put it on the front page. I’m sure I can find a rock that looks like Tweety Bird. I will sell said rock and donate all proceeds to the Bozo the Clown Improve Journalism Fund.

For our town and democracy to prosper, we need a newspaper that is intelligent and inquisitive, not one that puts Jesus sightings on the front page.

Early education We want to express our admiration for the excellent editorial on Oct. 20 (“Our View: Poor children now the norm,”) in The New Mexican.

he celebration of the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address offers an opportunity not simply to memorialize an extraordinary speech; it provides a model and a mirror for writing and speechmaking today.

“It’s only words.” This phrase captures what many feel about writing today. After all, our casual, rapid-fire communiques are tossed off at the push of a “send” button.

Within days of the battle of Gettysburg, plans were put in place to establish and dedicate the first national military cemetery. Gettysburg, Pa., civic leader David Wills invited Edward Everett, former president of Harvard University and the nation’s leading orator, to offer the main address. Later, Wills invited Lincoln to offer “a few appropriate remarks.” Definitely second fiddle.

In February 1861, as Lincoln delivered speeches during his inaugural train trip from Springfield, Ill., to Washington, Everett — reading newspaper reports — confided to his diary, “These speeches thus far have been of the most ordinary kind, destitute of everything, not merely of felicity and grace, but of common pertinence.”

To their mutual surprise, Lincoln and Everett had an unexpected appointment with history at Gettysburg.

The story of the composition of the address was hijacked more than a century ago by a sentimental novelist who spun her tale that Lincoln wrote his speech on the back of an envelope on the train to Gettysburg.

No. We don’t know for certain when he

wrote the speech, but we do know Lincoln continued to edit his address in the upstairs bedroom in Wills’ home, where he stayed the night before the dedication ceremony. He understood there is no such thing as good writing; there is only good rewriting.

On Nov. 19, 1863, Everett stepped forward and began to speak. He went on and on — for two hours and eight minutes.

The crowd grew restless.

Lincoln rose, adjusted his spectacles, and began: “Four score and seven years ago.” The first two words rhyme, setting in motion a symphony of sounds. The biblical ring of his opening was rooted in lines from Psalm 90. Lincoln never mentioned the Bible, but the whole of his speech was suffused with both biblical content and cadence.

He first placed the dedication of the battlefield in the larger context of American history. In appealing to “our fathers,” Lincoln invoked a common heritage. The trajectory of that sentence underscored the American ideal that “all men are created equal.” Lincoln at Gettysburg asserted that the meaning of the Civil War was about both liberty and union.

After the long introductory line, with quick strokes Lincoln recapitulated that meaning of the war. Unlike Everett, he spent none of his words on the details of the battle. His purpose was rather to transfigure the Pennsylvania cemetery dedication, to address its larger meaning.

He mentioned the battlefield briefly, but he used the word “nation” five times. The Civil War became for Lincoln a “testing” of whether the American experiment could “endure.”

Section editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

When Lincoln declared, “But, in a larger sense,” he signaled he was expanding the parameters of his address. But before he lifted his audience’s eyes from the battlefield, Lincoln told them what they could not do: “We cannot dedicate; we cannot consecrate; we cannot hallow.”

Lincoln’s use of the negative was a pivot point, emphasizing by contrast what each person in the audience could do.

In his final three sentences Lincoln pointed away from words to deeds. He contrasted “what we say here” with “what they did here.”

In this closing paragraph, he continued his use of repetition: “To be dedicated; to be here dedicated.” And: “We take increased devotion”; “the last full measure of devotion.”

Lincoln, who had spoken for less than three minutes, concluded: “And that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.”

Everett delivered this review the next day: “I should be glad, if I could flatter myself, that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.”

As you read the Gettysburg Address today, read it slowly, for he spoke it slowly. Take time to appreciate the power of words. Words fiercely mattered to Abraham Lincoln. They ought to matter to us.

hatever happens as a result of today’s vote in Albuquerque on whether to ban late-term abortions, the political landscape will not be the same, both in New Mexico and the

country.

Should the referendum pass, Albuquerque would become the first city in the country to approve a ban on abortions at or past 20 weeks of pregnancy. Because the only two clinics that provide abortions at the later stages of pregnancy are in Albuquerque, the ban could affect the entire state (unless the clinics move outside the city limits immediately).

Taking the issue to the level of cities and counties signals a new battleground in the fight to limit abortion rights in the United States. Whether adding restrictions on how clinics operate, requiring women to wait before obtaining abortions, demanding unnecessary ultrasounds or invasive trans-vaginal probes, the anti-abortion rights movement across the country has been working systematically to make it harder for women to be able to end a pregnancy. Despite the reality that abortion remains a constitutional right in the United States because of the Roe vs. Wade decision, actually being able to obtain an abortion is becoming more difficult.

Most work has been done at the state level, but the movement in Albuquerque takes it to the local arena.

The focus on Albuquerque was by design. In the Duke City, doctors assist women in ending pregnancies nearing their final stages, when babies are on the edge of viability.

These are difficult, dreadful choices that women and their loved ones make, often after discovering that the child they are carrying faces severe abnormalities and will suffer unspeakably or die shortly after birth. The law that Albuquerque voters are considering makes no exceptions for rape or incest, the baby’s chance at survival; only a narrow exception for an immediate threat to the mother’s life.

It likely is unconstitutional as well, and if passed, the city of Albuquerque would have to use its tax dollars to defend the ban. The out-of-state interests who helped place the ban on the ballot — in an expensive special election — won’t pay the bill, New Mexico taxpayers will. This is not a New Mexico initiative, despite support from mega-churches, local abortion activists and the Roman Catholic Church.

The 1,250-word proposed ordinance, phrased to confuse by the anti-abortion faction, claims to be a method of protecting the unborn child from pain. It was written to be make it difficult to realize what a yes or no vote means. (To allow women to be able to choose abortion when they feel it necessary, vote against the amendment).

We repeat, once again, our wish that the anti-abortion movement would expand its strategy. Rather than focus on making abortion illegal, the emphasis could move to preventing unwanted pregnancies and on helping women so they can care for babies after they are born. Women who seek abortion often feel in desperate straits and would seek to end a pregnancy by legal or illegal means. The choice isn’t about stopping abortions; it’s about whether abortions will remain safe and legal, or whether women will be forced to go underground. The stories of women being dumped at the emergency room, bleeding and near death, are not myth. They were reality in the days before abortion became legal.

Both sides of this debate claim to want what is best for women. Rather than “protecting” women and children, as the initiative backers claim to do, we trust that Albuquerque voters will choose to allow women to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 19, 1963: The average per-pupil cost of operating the Santa Fe school system during the 1962-63 fiscal year was $361, reported the state auditor’s office in a recent audit summary. Principal sources of income included $1,768,306 from state equalization funds; $547,032 from state current school fund and a total of $574,813 from property tax levies.

Nov. 19, 1988: Racism is at the root of a new state policy seeking state control over money appropriated to Indian pueblos and tribes, some participants at a conference on Indian health issues charged. The new policy, which requires contracts between the Indians and state over use of the money, was developed last year after Attorney General Hal Stratton questioned whether the state was prohibited from making the contributions. The state anti-donation clause, which Stratton cited in his arguments, prohibits the state from appropriating money to groups not under its control. Indian pueblos and reservations are independent of state government. But several Indian speakers said they are offended by what they see as a hidden message from the state.

Soldier: Minneapolis man ordered Nazi-led attack

By David Rising and Randy Herschaft

The Associated Press

BERLIN — A retired Minnesota carpenter, shown in a June investigation to be a former commander in a Nazi SS-led unit, ordered his men to attack a Polish village that was razed to the ground, according to testimony newly uncovered by The Associated Press. The account of the massacre that killed dozens of women and children contradicts statements by the man’s family that he was never at the scene of the 1944 bloodshed.

The June story prompted official investigations in both Poland and Germany. On Monday, the prosecutor leading Germany’s probe revealed to the AP that he has decided to recommend that state prosecutors pursue murder charges against 94-year-old Michael Karkoc.

Thomas Will, the deputy head of the special prosecutors’ office that investigates Nazi crimes, said he had made his decision even before seeing the new testimony that Karkoc ordered his unit to attack the Polish village of Chlaniow. “We have determined the requirements for murder charges are there,” said Will.

AP’s initial investigation found Karkoc entered the U.S. in 1949 by failing to disclose to American authorities his role as a commander in the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion, which is accused of torching villages and killing civilians in Poland. The investigation found that Karkoc was in the area of the massacres, but did not uncover evidence linking him directly to atrocities.

However, a newly unearthed investigative file originally from the Ukrainian intelligence agency’s archive reveals that a private under Karkoc’s command testified in 1968 that Karkoc ordered the assault on Chlaniow in retaliation for the slaying of an SS major. The major, slain by resistance fighters, led the Ukrainian Self Defense Legion, in which Karkoc was a company commander.

A German roster of the unit confirms that Pvt. Ivan Sharko, a Ukrainian, served under Karkoc’s command at the time.

An initial order was given by a separate officer, Sharko testified, before Karkoc told his unit to attack the village.

“The command was given by one of the commanders to cor-

don off the village and prepare for battle,” Sharko said, according to the Russian-language investigative file, which bears the stamp of Ukraine’s Volyn regional prosecutors’ office.

“The commander of our company, Wolf, also gave the command to cordon off the village and check all the houses, and to find and punish the partisans.”

Karkoc fought under the wartime nom de guerre “Wolf,” and he wrote a 1995 Ukrainian-language war memoir under both his real name and the pseudonym “Wolf.”

According to the document, Sharko described how nobody was spared in the ferocious onslaught on Chlaniow.

“The legionaries surrounded the homes, set fire to them with matches, or with incendiary bullets, and they shot anyone who was found in the homes or anywhere in the streets,” Sharko said. “Most of the houses were burned as a result of this action.

How many people were killed in all, I don’t know. I personally saw three corpses of peaceful inhabitants who had been killed.”

The AP learned of the file’s existence after its initial report and subsequently tracked down and reviewed its contents.

Other eyewitness accounts, both from villagers and members of Karkoc’s unit, corroborate the testimony that the company set buildings on fire and gunned down more than 40 men, women and children.

Michael Karkoc continues to live quietly in Minneapolis as he has for decades.

Karkoc’s son and family spokesman, Andriy Karkos, has denied his 94-year-old father’s involvement in the Chlaniow incident or any other war crime.

Karkos, who spells his surname differently from his father, refused to comment on the Sharko testimony when reached by phone: “Until and unless The Associated Press can provide their alleged evidence and their witness, we will not respond to your defamatory and slanderous allegation,” he said Friday.

Sharko died in the 1980s.

In July, weeks after Karkoc’s commanding role in the SS-led Legion was revealed, Karkos questioned the statements from men in his father’s unit and comments in his father’s memoir suggesting he was at the scene. He was cited by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as saying his father told him he was not in

IMMEDIATE PAYMENT FOR

Chlaniow when the killings took place, and wrote in a letter to the same newspaper that his father was no war criminal.

“There is no record that Karkoc had a hand in any war crimes,” Karkos wrote. “He did nothing wrong. He never lied.

He’s not afraid of the truth.”

Stephen Paskey, who led Nazi investigations for nine years as a prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Special Investigations, said the Sharko testimony is highly credible and should bolster cases in Germany and Poland to launch prosecutions against Karkoc.

He noted that Sharko did not appear to be in custody or under investigation at the time of his questioning, and that many of his statements are confirmed by historical documents.

“I see no reason to doubt that is what [Sharko] said and that it was said without any pressure,” said Paskey, now a law professor at the SUNY Buffalo Law School.

“And that’s exactly the sort of thing that would help persuade a judge that it’s credible — that there’s other evidence to corroborate the other things that he said. … There’s no indication in the Soviet statement that the guy they were interviewing had a motive to lie.”

Following the initial report, both German and Polish prosecutors opened investigations into whether to charge Karkoc with war crimes, based on the fact he had “command responsibility” for his unit when it committed massacres. Karkoc was a founding member of the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and later an officer in the SS Galician Division.

Germany has in recent years taken the position that people suspected of Nazi crimes must be prosecuted, no matter how old, as it did with retired Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk, who died last year at age 91 while appealing his conviction as a guard at the Sobibor death camp.

German prosecutor Will, whose office has no powers to file charges itself, said he will ask this week that Germany’s Federal Criminal Court determine which state prosecutors are most suited to handle the case. They will then have to review the evidence and decide whether to charge Karkoc, and whether Germany has jurisdiction.

“There is sufficient evidence that [Karkoc] was there,” Will said.

Taos, Lobos advance in national top 25 polls Pojoaque Valley return to playoffs a day early

By Will Webber

The New Mexican

The University of New Mexico mens basketball team made slight gains in both national top 25 polls, each of which were released Monday morning.

Coming off a 109-93 win over visiting Charleston Southern on Sunday night in The Pit, the Lobos (2-0) jumped three spots in the latest Associated Press media poll and one spot in the USA Today Coaches’

Both denied requests for Saturday games

Why put it off till Saturday when you can get the job done Friday?

Two of Northern New Mexico’s remaining state football playoff teams will be on the field a day earlier than they had hoped when the Class AAA state playoffs resume this weekend with the quarterfinal round.

Fresh off a mild upset of seventhseeded Albuquerque Academy, No. 10 Pojoaque Valley will look to extend its historic run through the postseason when it visits No. 2 Ruidoso on Friday at 7 p.m. The Elks (6-5) had never won a game in the playoffs until taking down the Chargers with a touchdown in the final 90 seconds in last week’s opening round.

“Well, it’s a short week, but I guess we don’t have a choice,” said Pojoaque head coach John Ainsworth. “I guess it doesn’t matter when we play because we’ll be there.”

Taos will also play a bit earlier than anticipated when it faces Bloomfield

Poll. UNM is now ranked No. 19 by the AP and No. 20 by the coaches.

Neither poll had much change, although there is a new No. 1. Michigan Craig Neal State supplanted Kentucky atop both polls after beating the Wildcats 78-74 last week in Chicago. It’s the first time since 2001 that the Spartans have

been the country’s top team.

“I think it’s a privilege,” Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo told the AP on Monday morning. “If we handle it well, we’ll see how long we can hang on. And if we don’t, we’ll learn something from that. We don’t get a banner or a ring for this, but it’s good for our program. It’s also good for the guys on this team to add to their collection of accomplishments.”

A-Rod back at MLB for resumption of grievance The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez’s grievance hearing to overturn his 211-game suspension resumed Monday with the first of what could be 10 straight days of sessions.

The sides spent their ninth day before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who also heard the case from Sept.

Alex 30-Oct. 3 and Oct. Rodriguez 15-18. Rodriguez’s legal team was set to call witnesses when the hearing resumed.

MLB and the players’ association appear to be trying to finish testimony before Thanksgiving, and it remained unclear whether the New York Yankees third baseman would testify.

He had been scheduled for an investigatory interview with MLB on Friday, but the session was canceled when Rodriguez’s side said he was ill with flu-like systems and could not travel from California.

Rodriguez arrived at MLB’s office on Monday morning.

MLB has been expected to assert that Rodriguez should not be allowed to testify at his grievance if he first refused to answer MLB’s questions at the investigatory interview.

Rodriguez was suspended for 211 games by MLB on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of the sport’s drug agreement and labor contract, and the players’ association filed the grievance to overturn the penalty.

The three-time AL MVP said four years ago he used performanceenhancing drugs while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03, but he

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Ohio State’s Meyer says BCS ‘a flawed system’ “Without spending much time on it, because it’s not fair for our team to do that, COLUMBUS, Ohio — The I will say this: I think it’s a Bowl Championship Series flawed system,” Meyer said has been good to Urban Monday when asked about Meyer. the BCS. He led two Florida teams There was a time, Meyer to national championships said, when the BCS filled under the format in the 2006 a need in college football. and 2008 seasons.

Maybe it’s the passage of time, or maybe it’s Meyer’s changing perspective, but it’s clear he welcomes what comes next. So far, anyway.

He recognizes that a playoff doesn’t mean the complaints and sniping will end.

“There’s going to be controversy in playoffs, too,” he said. “There’s not a 64-team playoff. You’re going to have four [teams]. What is that fifth team going to feel like?”

That fifth team will feel left out — much like Meyer and his Buckeyes do these days.

Armstrong: UCI head planned doping cover-up

By Graham Dunbar

The Associated Press

Lance Armstrong claims former International Cycling Union president Hein Verbruggen instigated a cover-up of his doping at the 1999 Tour de France.

Armstrong told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper in an interview published Monday that Verbruggen insisted “we’ve got to come up with something” to explain his positive tests for a banned corticosteroid.

Cycling’s governing body, the UCI, appeared to ignore its own anti-doping rules when it accepted Armstrong’s backdated prescription for a cream to treat saddle sores.

That allowed Armstrong to stay in the race, and he went on to win the first of his seven Tours, helping revive the sport after doping scandals wrecked the 1998 event.

“The real problem was, the sport was on life support,” Armstrong said in the article.

“And Hein just said, ‘This is a real problem for me; this is the knockout punch for our sport … so we’ve got to come up with something.’ So we backdated the prescription.”

Although Armstrong has acknowledged the prescription excuse in a television interview with Oprah Winfrey, he had not previously linked Verbruggen or other UCI officials to a cover-up.

Verbruggen, who served as UCI president until 2005, did not respond to phone messages Monday.

The Dutch official, who is still listed by the UCI as its honorary president, has long denied any collusion with Armstrong despite widespread claims the American rider was protected.

Corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation, are banned unless the athlete has a therapeutic use exemption. Armstrong and his manager, Johan Bruyneel, had signed the doping control document that he was not taking any medication at the time, so under UCI rules, he should have been disqualified even if he later produced a prescription.

Verbruggen was granted honorary membership by the IOC in 2008 after 12 years’ service and will complete his duties as chairman of the Olympic Broad-

The IOC released a statement Monday, saying, “It is hard to give any credibility to the claims of a cyclist who appears to have misled the world for decades.”

“That said, the UCI is currently working on plans to investigate the matter more thoroughly and we await proper considered outcomes,” the Olympic governing body added.

Armstrong spoke out while the UCI is in the process of creating an independent commission that will examine alleged official collusion, and he is expected to be the star witness.

Armstrong, who is seeking a reduction in his lifetime ban, told the Daily Mail that he would reveal details of how the UCI operated.

“I have no loyalty toward them,” he said.

“In the proper forum I’ll tell everyone what they want to know. I’m not going to lie to protect these guys. I hate them. They

threw me under the bus.”

In October 2012, the UCI decided not to challenge a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency verdict to strip Armstrong of his Tour titles and ban him for life. Verbruggen’s successor, Pat McQuaid, said the disgraced rider deserved to be forgotten by the sport.

The UCI has been led since September

by British official Brian Cookson, who defeated McQuaid in a presidential election in which the Armstrong case and cycling’s doping past were central issues.

In a statement Monday, the UCI said its commission would “invite individuals to provide evidence.”

“We would urge all those involved to come forward and help the Commission in its work in the best interests of the sport of cycling,” the governing body said. “This investigation is essential to the well-being of cycling in fully understanding the doping culture of the past, the role of the UCI at that time and helping us all to move forward to a clean and healthy future.”

Lobos: UNM to play in Charleston Classic Continued from Page B-1 The championship game is scheduled for Sunday at 7 p.m.

The other half of the eight-team, fourday bracket has Temple facing Clemson and Davidson meeting Georgia.

Every team in UNM’s half of the bracket is undefeated while Clemson (3-0) is the only team with a winning record in the other side.

“I think anybody that goes in there and plays well and guards and plays together has a chance to win it,” said New Mexico head coach Craig Neal. “There’s no clearcut favorite.”

Lobos senior Kendall Williams said getting off campus and away from the comforts of home is a good thing for UNM. The Lobos had an extended tour through Australia this summer but has been in Albuquerque since the first day of practice in October.

That includes two exhibition games and two regular season games.

“We got two games at home to get comfortable with each other, really, to get our fans back into it,” Williams said. “Now we get thrown into the fire with the rest of the teams we get to go play.”

The Lobos used an early season tournament win in the U.S. Virgin Islands last year as a springboard to a big season and it

plans to do the same this week.

“I think it just gives your team some experience on a neutral floor against really good teams,” Neal said. “Any time you play any BCS school or really good school on a neutral floor, you kind of find out where you are as a team.”

The rest of the AP top 10 has future UNM opponent Kansas now at No. 2, followed by defending national champion Louisville at No. 3. Kentucky dropped to fourth, followed by Arizona, Duke, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Syracuse and Virginia Commonwealth.

“Being No. 1 now gives us a chance to see how we’ll handle our goal of being No. 1 at the end of the season,” Izzo said.

“We have to learn how to deal with the pressure and status of being where we are right now. But I don’t think by any means this will be like playing with a 40-pound weight on our shoulders.”

Final Four coverage College basketball fans will choose from three different television broadcasts of the Final Four this season.

The games’ main home will be on TBS on April 5 and the championship game will be on CBS, but TNT will offer coverage from the perspective of one of the teams for each matchup, and truTV the other.

Turner Sports said Monday the broadcasts will have separate commentator crews and additional camera angles.

Making noise The Northern New Mexico men’s basketball team is off to a 4-1 start, with three of those wins coming against NCAA Division II schools out of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

The Eagles, an NAIA club out of Española, beat Western New Mexico 75-62 on Nov. 14. It came on the heels of wins over RMAC schools Fort Lewis and Western State. On Tuesday they travel to RMAC member Adams State.

No. 1 coming up Speaking of the RMAC, perennial powerhouse Metropolitan State is currently ranked No. 1 in the latest Division II poll.

The Roadrunners will visit New Mexico Highlands on Jan. 3 in the only regular season meeting between the schools.

Highlands was 3-0 heading into Monday’s late game at California Baptist.

The Cowboys remain on the road until Dec. 13 when Western State visits the Wilson Complex.

A-Rod: Fla. police reopen document inquiry Continued from Page B-1 has denied using them since.

At the time of his suspension, MLB said the penalty was for “use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone over the course of multiple years” and for “engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the office of the commissioner’s investigation.”

A Florida police department said Monday it had reopened an investigation into the theft of documents related to baseball’s inquiry.

Boca Raton police officer Sandra Boonenberg said the investigation was reopened several weeks ago based on new information stemming from Rodriguez’s lawsuit against MLB, which accused the sport of engaging in a “witch hunt.”

Boonenberg offered few details on the open investiga-

tion but said detectives have “a lot of leads that they’re pursuing.”

The documents were stolen in March from the car of Porter Fischer, who took them from Biogenesis of America, the now-closed Florida anti-aging

clinic where he worked.

The clinic and its owner, Anthony Bosch, have been accused of providing banned performance-enhancing drugs to Rodriguez and other major leaguers. Bosch agreed to cooperate with baseball’s

investigators, and baseball later suspended 14 players.

Citing unidentified sources close to the investigation, ESPN reported last week that MLB impeded the Florida investigation.

“MLB investigators knowingly purchased stolen documents in their quest to allow Commissioner Selig to act, for the first time, as if he was tough on PED use in baseball despite striking a cooperation deal with Anthony Bosch who MLB knows is under federal investigation for providing steroids to minors,” Jordan Siev, one of Rodriguez’s lawyers, said in a statement.

MLB has repeatedly denied the accusation.

“The truth continues to be that we did not knowingly purchase stolen documents and there is an active police investigation to determine if the documents were in fact stolen,” the commissioner’s office said in a statement.

Former NFL linebacker Howard dies in car crash ALAMEDA, Calif. — Former NFL linebacker Thomas Howard died early Monday morning following a highspeed car crash on a freeway in Oakland.

The Alameda County Coroner’s Office said the 30-year-old Howard was one of two men who died in the crash Monday.

The driver of the other car, 64-year-old Zeng Long Liu of Hayward, also died in the crash.

Howard was driving a speeding BMW when he hit a big rig, flipped over the center divider and went head-on into a Honda traveling on the other side around

1 a.m., said Officer Daniel Hill, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol.

Witnesses say the car was traveling at speeds between 100 mph to 110 mph as the car overturned, crossed a median and ended up in the southbound lanes of the freeway, where it sideswiped another car before landing on top of the Honda, Hill said.

Hill said that alcohol is not being ruled out as a possible cause of the accident.

Howard played eight years in the NFL after being drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round out of Texas-El Paso in 2006.

NBA

Blazers surge past Nets for 7th straight victory as Oklahoma City rallied for its second straight win.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — LaMarcus Aldridge scored 27 points, Wesley Matthews added 24 and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Brooklyn T. Blazers 108 Nets 108-98 Monday night for their Nets 98 seventh straight victory.

Damian Lillard finished with 19 points and nine assists as the Trail Blazers withstood the Nets’ blistering start to win seven in a row in the same season for the first time since a 13-game run in December 2007.

Portland (9-2) is just a half-game behind San Antonio and Indiana for the NBA’s best record. The Blazers will try to complete a perfect 4-0 road trip Wednesday at Milwaukee.

Shaun Livingston scored 23 points for the Nets, who stormed out to their best first quarter of the season and then seemed to run out of gas against the younger Trail Blazers. Kevin Garnett made all six shots in the 40-point first period, then went 2 for 13 from there to finish with a season-high 16 points.

Garnett and Paul Pierce were back in the starting lineup after missing Saturday’s loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles with injuries, though Brook Lopez and Deron Williams continued to rest sprained left ankles.

Pierce, who had a sore left groin, played as if he was still hurting, managing just 11 points on 2-for-12 shooting.

Portland turned the game around in the third quarter, limiting the Nets to 3-of-18 shooting and outscoring them 27-12 to take an 83-78 lead. They then opened the fourth with a 12-4 spurt to open a 95-82 advantage when Mo Williams was credited with a basket on a goaltending call.

Matthews was 5 of 8 from 3-point range, improving to 30 for 57 for the season (52.6 percent). He kept the Blazers in the game in the first quarter, when the Nets made 14 of 19 shots for a 40-31 lead.

BullS 86, BOBCaTS 81 In Chicago, Luol Deng scored 21 points, and the Bulls overcame a rough shooting night to beat Charlotte for their fifth straight win.

Carlos Boozer had 12 points and 17 rebounds for Chicago, which is on its longest winning streak since taking eight in a row from Feb. 20-March 7, 2012. Jimmy Butler had 14 points and

MaveRiCkS 97, 76eRS 94 In Dallas, Monta Ellis scored 24 points, including 13 in the third quarter when the Mavericks took their first lead, and Dallas beat Philadelphia.

Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion had 20 points apiece for the Mavericks, who began a stretch of seven out of nine games in Dallas. Nowitzki had 10 rebounds, and Marion chipped in seven.

Ellis had 19 points in the second half and added a game-high 10 assists and two of Dallas’ 11 blocked shots.

Two nights after a 37-point loss in New Orleans, the Sixers held the Mavericks scoreless for the first 5 minutes and led by 10 in the first half.

Even after losing its lead for good late in the third quarter, Philadelphia stayed close behind Evan Turner, Tony Wroten and some late 3-pointers from James Anderson.

Turner had 26 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while Wroten had 19 points and five steals.

The Mavericks pulled even twice in the third quarter before finally taking their first lead when Vince Carter knocked the ball loose as Hollis Thompson was going up for a layup.

Derrick Rose finished with 12.

Deng’s 3-pointer with 27.1 seconds remaining gave the Bulls an 85-81 lead.

Gerald Henderson then missed for the Bobcats, and Rose had a free throw to help Chicago wrap it up.

Rose, who hit a career-high six 3-pointers in the Bulls’ 110-94 win Saturday over Indiana, went 4 for 13 from the field. The Bulls shot 27 of 75 (36 percent) overall.

The 2011 NBA MVP played 31 minutes in his second game back after missing Chicago’s win at Toronto on Friday with a sore right hamstring.

Butler missed part of the game with a right toe injury but came back with 6:35 left in the fourth.

Charlotte was looking for its fourth consecutive road victory and third in four games overall, but it was unable to take advantage of the Bulls’ poor shooting. Once again, the Bobcats struggled from the floor despite a strong effort in the paint.

The Bobcats were shooting a leagueworst 40.2 percent from the field coming into the day, and they were 28th from 3-point range at 29.3 percent. On Monday, they shot 36.3 percent as a team.

ThundeR 115, nuggeTS 113 In Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 38 points, Russell Westbrook had 30 points and 12 rebounds, and the Thunder rallied to beat Denver.

Westbrook also had seven assists in a terrific all-around game that helped Oklahoma City erase a 14-point deficit in the second half. Reggie Jackson added 14 points.

With the score tied at 105, Serge Ibaka pulled down an offensive rebound and found Durant for a 3-pointer that put Oklahoma City (7-3) ahead to stay.

Jeremy Lamb and Derek Fisher each hit a pair of free throws in the final 14 seconds to help the Thunder hold on.

Ty Lawson led Denver (4-6) with 29 points and eight assists. J.J. Hickson

had 18 points and 19 rebounds The Nuggets led the entire game except for the first 18 seconds of the first quarter and the final 1:26 of the fourth.

First-year Denver coach Brian Shaw said his team’s outside shooting had been a sore spot coming into the game, but the Nuggets connected on four of their first seven 3-point attempts.

Denver shot 59 percent from the field while grabbing a 39-28 lead after the first quarter.

Oklahoma City then began the second quarter with a 10-2 run, but reserve Nate Robinson gave the Nuggets a lift with eight points that helped them to a 13-point lead.

After hitting just one of his first seven shots, Westbrook scored eight points in the second. Westbrook’s 25-footer with a second remaining in the half cut Denver’s lead to three.

Denver increased its lead to 14 in the third quarter but watched it evaporate

BCS: Ohio St. has won 22 games in a row Continued from Page B-1 Ohio State (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) has won a nation’s best 22 games in a row but is ranked a distant No. 3 in the latest BCS rankings — far behind top dogs Alabama and Florida State and barely ahead of Baylor.

If neither Alabama nor Florida State loses before the last BCS rankings on Dec. 8, the Buckeyes will be shut out.

And with unbeaten Baylor breathing down the Buckeyes’ necks, there’s a distinct possibility that Ohio State might not even make it into the top two spots if a big upset takes place in front of them.

It’s no mystery why the Buckeyes are on the outside looking in, even though they have not lost since Meyer left the ESPN broadcast booth to take over the troubled program in late 2011.

The Buckeyes are third in both the Harris Interactive and USA Today polls, which are factored into BCS system.

The six computers which also are a part of the BCS have Ohio State a combined fifth — behind both Baylor (9-0) and

one-loss Auburn (10-1).

Strength of schedule hurts Ohio State since most observers believe the Big Ten is in the midst of a down cycle.

On top of that, the Buckeyes have not played a team ranked in the AP top 15 in Meyer’s two seasons.

The Buckeyes played three ranked teams while going 12-0 in 2012 — and none were inside the top 20 in the Associated Press poll (Michigan State and Michigan State were each No. 20 when they played the Buckeyes, Nebraska was No. 21).

It also hurt that, due to violations committed when Jim Tressel was the head coach, the NCAA ruled they could not play in a bowl game and, therefore, were deprived of another quality opponent on a big stage.

This year, Ohio State’s lone ranked opponents have been No. 23 Wisconsin and No. 16 Northwestern, relatively close games that the Buckeyes ended up winning 31-24 and 40-30. Wisconsin is up to No. 16, but Northwestern has fallen off.

Top-ranked Alabama, meanwhile, has

beaten three teams currently ranked, No. 9 Texas A&M, No. 18 LSU, No. 24 Mississippi, and has a date in the Iron Bowl against No. 6 Auburn coming up.

Florida State has beaten No. 7 Clemson (No. 3 at the time), and Miami and Maryland were both ranked when they played the Seminoles, but aren’t any more.

Many of the Buckeyes faithful think their team doesn’t get a fair shake for beating up on the Big Ten. But there is also a theory that maybe no one knows what to truly make of the Buckeyes because they’ve rarely been tested.

Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman was asked about frustration with the BCS. “It was like last year, everybody said, ‘Is there frustration you can’t go to a bowl game?’ No, we knew we couldn’t go to a bowl game in January. We’ve known about the BCS for the last 15 years. We know this is the system we play in and these are the cards that are dealt. …

“But it’s out of our control. So we can just go win games, play as well as we can and keep getting better every week.”

Playoffs: St. Michael’s plays Saturday Continued from Page B-1 in the Four Corners area on Friday at 7 p.m. Tigers head coach Flavio Lopez said he initially contacted Bloomfield’s coaches in hopes of getting an early afternoon game on Saturday.

In no uncertain terms, he was denied.

“I understand the Friday night lights thing, but these are the playoffs, and big games deserve a Saturday game,” Lopez said. “The people want to come out and the kids like the bigger crowds.

I think you limit some of that when you play games at night.”

According to New Mexico Activities Association rules, schools less than 300 miles apart can negotiate the date of the game as either a Friday

night or a Saturday afternoon.

If the teams can’t agree, it falls upon the home team to settle the debate.

In both instances, Ruidoso and Bloomfield shot down Pojoaque and Taos’ initial requests and elected to play early. Of the two remaining quarterfinal games in AAA, only one — No. 9 Las Vegas Robertson at No. 1 St. Michael’s — will be played on Saturday. The other, No. 6 Albuquerque Hope Christian at No. 3 Silver, will be Friday night.

Ainsworth and Lopez admit the idea of losing one day of preparation can hurt, particularly when the teams they’re playing had a bye through the first round by virtue of each being a top-four seed.

St. Michael’s, Ruidoso, Silver and Bloomfield were all

top-four seeds.

“And I don’t think anyone’s even talked about the weather,” Ainsworth said, giving a subtle nod to a midweek storm system that is threatening to bring snow and colder weather to much of the state.

“We’ll probably get stuck there under a foot of snow.”

Teams have tried to use the colder climate as means to add to the home field advantage. If that’s the case with Bloomfield, Lopez would like to remind everyone that it gets cold in Taos, too.

“If they want to play in snow or in the sun, it’s up to them,” he said.

Taos (9-1) advanced out of the first round with a 54-0 rout of No. 12 Hot Springs last weekend. The game ended early due to the 50-point mercy rule.

Pojoaque (6-5) won its first playoff game ever with a 41-40 win at Academy, getting 200 yards passing and 233 rushing from quarterback John Ainsworth Jr. They will face a Ruidoso (7-2) squad whose only loss since September was a 1-point setback to AAAA’s Las Cruces Centennial.

Robertson (6-5) cruised to a 36-0 win on the road at No. 8 Portales last week, setting up a rematch of a regular season game against St. Michael’s (10-0) that the Horsemen won 50-0 back on Sept. 21.

Hope Christian (6-5) remained one of the hottest teams in AAA with a 68-33 rout of No. 11 Raton. The Huskies have won five of their last six games after a 1-4 start that included a 28-8 loss against Silver (7-3) on Sept. 14.

WaRRiORS 98, Jazz 87 In Salt Lake City, Stephen Curry scored 22 points, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes had 17 apiece, and the Golden State Warriors beat struggling Utah.

Curry had eight assists and made four 3-pointers before leaving in the fourth quarter after Utah’s Marvin Williams landed on his head in a scramble for a loose ball. After a couple of minutes to gain his bearings, Curry got up and left the court under his own power with a towel draped over his head.

Curry is expected to be ready for Wednesday’s home game against Memphis.

The Warriors made 12 of 22 attempts from 3-point range and led by as many as 28 points.

Gordon Hayward scored 18 points and Williams had 16 but the Jazz (1-11) dropped their third straight after earning their lone win of the season.

In their first game without Jermaine O’Neal, David Lee had 14 points and 14 rebounds while Andrew Bogut added 13 rebounds and three blocked shots to neutralize Utah’s inside presence.

What the Jazz lack (and the Warriors have in spades) became apparent in the fourth quarter.

PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby capped a third-period outburst with his 10th goal of the season, Penguins 3 and the Pittsburgh Ducks 1 Penguins beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 on Monday night.

Brian Gibbons scored on the first shot of his NHL career and Brandon Sutter chipped in his fourth goal of the season as Pittsburgh’s struggling offense found a rhythm late against the Pacific Division-leading Ducks.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 26 shots for Pittsburgh, which won for only the second time in six games. Crosby’s goal was his second in 11 games.

BRuinS 4, huRRiCaneS 1 In Raleigh, N.C., Reilly Smith and Carl Soderberg had a goal and an assist each in the first period, and Boston topped Carolina.

Johnny Boychuk scored midway through the third period, and Milan Lucic added an empty-net goal for Boston, which has 11 points in its last seven games (5-1-1).

Boston killed four Carolina

power plays, including 63 seconds when the Bruins were down two skaters.

They haven’t allowed a powerplay goal in 32 short-handed situations since giving up goals on five consecutive power plays in October.

FlaMeS 5, JeTS 4 (SO) In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sean Monahan scored the winning goal in the eighth round of a shootout, and Calgary snapped its six-game losing streak with a victory over Winnipeg.

Jiri Hudler had given Calgary a 4-3 lead with 3:26 remaining in regulation, but the Jets tied it on Bryan Little’s with six seconds left.

With Winnipeg goalie Al Montoya on the bench for an extra attacker, the Jets swarmed goalie Reto Berra, and Little put a rebound into an open side of the net.

Montoya made 29 saves.

Berra stopped 43 shots, including three in overtime, to help the Flames end their 0-5-1 skid.

Calgary’s Michael Cammalleri scored his team-leading ninth goal of the season on the power play and added an assist.

T.J. Brodie and Lance Bouma also scored.

NFL determined to put fans 1st

By Jim Litke

The Associated Press

CHICAGO — As powerful as fans and even rival sports leagues believe it to be, even the NFL can’t do anything about the weather.

Yet some 24 hours after the Chicago Bears closed out a dangerous afternoon at Soldier Field in light rain with a 23-20 overtime win against visiting Baltimore, more than a few people in the Windy City were still shaking their heads. And not just because of dropping temperatures and still-gusting winds that lingered across the Chicago area Monday — remnants of a late-season storm that spawned tornadoes and slammed the Midwest a day earlier, leaving eight dead and dozens injured downstate.

Instead, many wondered why Sunday’s NFL game kicked off at its scheduled noon start time, with the threat of lightning, high winds and a torrential downpour bearing down on the city’s lakefront stadium.

“Hindsight being 20-20, it’s easy to say they should have waited,” said Steve Woltmann, a freelance photographer who has covered games at Soldier Field for nearly three decades. “And honestly, I got a few texts from home long before kickoff warning some crazy stuff was headed right at us.

“But as many times as I’ve been there, you never know how the lake will affect a front rolling in,” he added. “It’s why people here say if you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes and it will change.”

This time, the change came so suddenly that Gene Steratore, head of the officiating crew, barely had enough time to put down a cellphone he was using to communicate with NFL officials before informing the crowd of 60,000-plus: “Due to the inclement weather, the game will be temporarily suspended.”

Seconds later, players scrambled for the locker rooms and announcements over the public-address system and on the scoreboard instructed fans to take cover in the nearest concourse area.

Then came the deluge.

“Because there’s so many moving pieces, we always try to play games as scheduled. Between our broadcasters and all the other logistics involved, we’re trying to put them on for the widest possible audience,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “But we’d never endanger our fans or our players, officials or stadium.

That’s always concern No. 1.

“And as soon as the potential for severe

Many wondered why Sunday’s game in Chicago kicked off at its scheduled noon start time, with the threat of lightning, high winds and a torrential downpour bearing down on the city’s lakefront stadium. lightning became apparent, we took steps to get everybody out of harm’s way.”

The delay began with 4:51 remaining in the opening quarter, following a 52-yard field goal by Justin Tucker that put the Ravens ahead 10-0, and lasted nearly two hours. Players napped, snacked and walked through formations. Fans eventually returned to find sunshine and calm, but the storm returned again after halftime, turning the stands into a patchwork quilt of ponchos, and the playing field into a quagmire. The game took nearly five hours to complete.

“The footing was terrible, but it was definitely some ‘old-school football’ out there,” Bears defensive end Julius Peppers said afterward. “It was fun.”

Not everyone was quite so charmed.

Both the Bears and the NFL came in for questioning over the decision, especially in light of how organizers have handled weather threats at other big events.

The league reviews game operations after each week and this one will be no exception. It could prove especially useful, since the 2014 Super Bowl is scheduled to be played at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium in February — the first time the season’s biggest game will be played outdoors in a northern city, let alone during a week when some forecasters are predicting blizzard-like storms. The NFL has already said it could shift the Feb. 2 kickoff a day ahead or behind if weather dictates.

“We’ve got contingency plans for our contingency plans on that one,” McCarthy said.

Ultimate authority to suspend or cancel games rests with Commissioner Roger Goodell, although the review process begins much farther down the chain.

An NFL official at each site every week is in contact with the teams, stadium operations and officiating crews before kickoff — and if conditions warrant, with local law enforcement agencies.

The NFL is not alone, of course, in dealing with the weather. Tragically, seven people were killed and dozens injured when storm-driven wind gusts knocked down heavy stage rigging during a Sugarland concert at the Indiana State

Fair in August 2011. Two investigations found the rigging wasn’t strong enough to meet state building codes and that the fair lacked a fully developed emergency plan.

A month ago, the final day of the Austin City Limits Music Festival was canceled after a storm dumped nearly a foot of rain on that city in a 12-hour period.

In July, a severe line of thunderstorms forced officials at Wrigley Field on Chicago’s north side to clear the stage and field during a Pearl Jam concert before resuming more than two hours later. The same night at a different concert venue along the lake, a Phish show came to an abrupt end as fans were told to leave an open-air amphitheater.

Sunday’s delay marked the fourth time this season NFL officials have been forced to suspend play, including a 34-minute halt in Baltimore’s openingweek game at Denver because of lightning. Oddly enough, it was the third time this year the Ravens have been involved, dating back to the Super Bowl, when an electrical failure knocked out most of the lights inside the Superdome.

“We knew storms were on the way,” McCarthy said. “We have meteorological firms that monitor conditions, both nationally and locally, heading into the weekend, and then we keep monitoring them in real time all the way up to kickoff.”

On Sunday, NFL official Gary Slaughter was charged with making the decision to go ahead as planned in Chicago.

“We believed we’d be able to play the game in its duration in the window we had,” McCarthy said. “Look, it’s one thing if the USTA plans their U.S. Open during a week when there’s supposed to be a monster storm, because that’s tennis.

“But football is played in tough weather all the time. Our championship games could wind up in Chicago, New York or New England in mid-January. So what happened there is something we’re always cognizant of, preparing for and,” he concluded, “always willing to learn from.”

ever heard of Bobby Rainey or Andre Brown?

David Bass or Matt McGloin? Tony Dye or Rashad Jennings?

They all played critical roles in victories this week, emphasizing the roles of player personnel folks who have to fill holes on rosters.

And there are plenty of holes, particularly up front where the guys create the holes for runners to burst through.

Stars, especially at quarterback and in other skill positions on offense and defense, have been the backbone of NFL teams for decades. Yet depth is tested every day, and in Week 11 that was particularly apparent.

So Rainey, Brown and Jennings stepped in to depleted backfields with the Buccaneers, Giants and Raiders, and were difference makers. McGloin, Joe Paterno’s last starting quarterback who developed into a decent college player under Bill O’Brien, went undrafted.

He made an historic debut for Oakland, becoming the first undrafted rookie quarterback with three touchdown throws and no interceptions in a game since the common draft era began in 1967.

Bass, a seventh-round pick from Missouri Western — a who from a where? — returned an interception for a TD in Chicago’s comeback victory over Baltimore. Dye, promoted the previous day from the practice squad, went 24 yards with a blocked punt for a score in Cincinnati’s key win against Cleveland.

For one weekend, they were as much the heroes as Ben Roethlisberger, Vincent Jackson and Jason Pierre-Paul.

While their stories are uplifting and, in some cases, might portend lengthy success — Brown has been starter-worthy when healthy for the Giants, but twice has broken his left leg in the last two years — finding the right fill-ins and nurturing them has become a delicate proposition. It might even be a dying art.

“The whole concept in the idea of player development now has shifted dramatically due to the new rules,” says Scott Pioli, who helped build the championship teams in New England, then became Chiefs general manager and now is an analyst for SiriusXM NFL Radio.

“Certain teams worked one way and player development was a huge part of their program in developing from within.

They had a great coaching staff, they had a system, they had an entire process they would bring players through.

“Again, some teams develop players better than others, it largely has to do with coaching and the system and ownership allowing that process to happen.

And I think there is going to be a huge shift in that.”

Pioli refers to not only the salary cap, which has eliminated stashing prospects and allowing them to develop slowly. He also means the lack of practice snaps for so many backups caused by the shorter work hours under

the 2011 collective bargaining agreement.

The limited snaps still available generally go to the starters.

So uncover- Bobby Rainey ing diamonds in the rough becomes a rougher process.

“I thought the Giants under Tom Coughlin, and Bill Belichick up in New Andre Brown England, certain teams you could see develop players from within,” Pioli adds. “The teams that did more with less, so Matt to speak, took McGloin later-round draft choices and developed their own players into their culture and their scheme. And I think we are seeing that change right now.”

The spotlight tends to fall on the more glamorous positions, and even more emphatically when a Seneca Wallace flops replacing Aaron Rodgers, or no one steps up when Reggie Wayne goes down in Indianapolis.

But here’s something to chew on from the trenches: 38 offensive linemen are on injured reserve this season. They range from Pro Bowl-caliber players Ryan Clady, Chris Snee and Maurkice Pouncey to high draftees Luke Joeckel (second overall) and Jonathan Cooper (seventh) to journeymen who always find jobs and perform them competently: Ryan Cook, Donald Thomas, David Baas.

The performances of the blockers, especially those on teams that have been hard hit by injuries or inefficiency and don’t have adequate replacements, have been notable. For every Denver, which has lost three offensive linemen for the season yet protects Peyton Manning as if livelihoods depend on it — they do — there’s a Baltimore.

The defending Super Bowl champions are 4-6 on merit, their offense bogged down by an underachieving run game and not enough time for Joe Flacco to get the downfield passing game going. Meanwhile, the Broncos lose the likes of Clady and barely miss a beat, if at all.

So maybe the biggest issues with “Who’s that?” in an NFL team’s lineup are up front. You can tell by the smile on Russell Wilson’s face when both his tackles, Russell Okung and Breno Giacomini, return, as they did Sunday in a win over Minnesota.

“We all prepare like we’re the starters,” Giacomini says. “We could dress every guy in our [offensive line] room and plug them in. Kind of like a hockey deal, five and five.”

Now that would be enviable depth.

Fortune: Newton’s 7 passes on 77-yard drive yields 2nd TD pass Continued from Page B-1 The officials quickly gathered, however, and waved off the flag — perhaps ruling Gronkowski could not have caught the ball, which was underthrown.

But there was no explanation. Referee Clete Blakeman opened his microphone and announced there was no foul on the play, and the game was over.

“There was no explanation given to me. Officials ran off the field. I didn’t see anything,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “It was the last play of the game. There was a flag thrown and then the game was over.”

A pass-interference call would have put the ball on the 1-yard line and given the Patriots one more shot at game-winning touchdown with no time on the clock.

Instead, the game ended in bizarre fashion.

An angry Brady ran down two officials to argue the call as they walked off the field, but later said he didn’t get a good look at the play.

“I don’t make the calls or the rules,” Brady said. “I wish it wouldn’t have come down to that. I think there were plenty of plays we could’ve made. But it did, and they’re going to make the call or they’re not going to make the call. But we can play better than that.”

Brady conceded he was cautious on the throw. “[Gronkowski] was kind of weaving in and out of there. I didn’t really want to throw it over his head and out of bounds, so I was a little indecisive,” he said. “It wasn’t a great throw. No excuses. Should have been a better throw.”

Kuechly, who had a critical passinterference call in a Week 2 loss to Buffalo, was a little nervous when he saw the flag on the ground.

“I was like, ‘Oh, jeez. I don’t know what this is going to be,’ ” Kuechly said. “My back was to Brady. I was just playing his eyes, playing his hands, waiting for his eyes to get big and his hands to go up and I was going to try to break it down. You know I didn’t really see where the ball went. I think Robert had a hand on it or something.

You know there were guys around that ball and that’s what helps you out.”

Given a reprieve, the Panthers (7-3) celebrated.

“We had good pressure and our safety Robert Lester was in good position to make the play,” coach Ron Rivera said.

Brady was 29 of 40 for 296 yards and one touchdown.

Newton completed 19 of 28 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns.

He also ran seven times for 62 yards in what will go down as one of his best games as a pro.

On Tuesday, The United States Postal Service will begin offering a series of 20 Harry Potter stamps. This one features the boy wizard and Fawkes the phoenix. The stamps are causing a controversy, in part because Potter isn’t an American. PHOTOS BY THE ORLANDO SENTINEL

Harry Potter stamps rile the collectors

By Lisa Rein

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON or more than half a century, a committee of cultural heavyweights has met behind closed doors, its deliberations kept secret, weighing the faces and images of Americana worthy of gracing U.S. postage stamps. While its rulings have been advisory, they long carried the weight of writ.

Now comes a youngster from across the seas. He isn’t what these leading lights from the fields of arts and letters, athletics and philately had in mind. For one, he seems kind of crass to some. And worse, he isn’t even American.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Postal Service is scheduled to release 20 postage stamps honoring Harry Potter, and officials at the cash-strapped agency hope the images, drawn straight from the Warner Brothers movies, will be the biggest blockbuster since the Elvis Presley stamp 20 years ago.

But the selection of the British boy wizard is creating a stir in the cloistered world of postage-stamp policy. The Postal Service has bypassed the panel charged with researching and recommending subjects for new stamps, and the members are rankled, not least of all because Potter is a foreigner, several members said.

The dispute caps more than a year of friction between the Postal Service and the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, named by the postmaster general to help make sure that the American experience is properly portrayed.

Set up as a filter between the postmaster general and the public, which petitions the Postal Service for about 40,000 stamp subjects and designs each year, the committee includes such eminent Americans as historian Henry Louis Gates Jr., former American Film Institute president Jean Picker Firstenberg and Olympic swimmer and sportscaster Donna de Varona. A former postmaster general, top Smithsonian Museum official, graphic designers and philatelists also belong.

Its mission is to ensure that stamp subjects “have stood the test of time, are consistent with public opinion and have broad national interest.”

For one of the only times in its 56-year-history, the committee was not consulted in the decision to put Potter and his friends and foes on the run of 100 million “forever” stamps.

can. It’s foreign, and it’s so blatantly commercial it’s off the charts,” said John Hotchner, a stamp collector in Falls Church, Va., and former president of the American Philatelic Society, who served on the committee for twelve years until 2010.

Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said in an interview that the agency “needs to change its focus toward stamps that are more commercial.”

Members of the advisory committee have complained to Donahoe that they have been brushed aside by agency staff, led by marketing director Nagisa Manabe, a former Coca-Cola executive hired in 2012 to reinvigorate the postal brand. Manabe moved the stamp program into her department and pushed aside veterans in the program, according to postal sources.

In September, the committee’s frustration boiled over and all 13 members walked out of their meeting and signed an unprecedented letter to Donahoe demanding he meet with them. “Quite simply, as it is run now, this committee no longer represents the collector, both avid and amateur,” said the letter, which was obtained by The Post and first reported by Linn’s Stamp News.

In a response to the letter, Donahoe suggested the committee’s meetings may be cut to two from four a year.

A person familiar with the advisory committee’s thinking said the “new world order in the post office” is all about what sells.

The Postal Service recently reissued a new $2 version of a highly publicized stamp error: a 1918 air mail stamp commemorating the country’s first airmail flight, a stamp known as the Inverted Jenny.

The stamp had an upsidedown image of the Curtiss JN-4 biplane used to deliver the mail. The Postal Service reissued the inverted image in September as well as 100 sheets of the image rightside up. Postal Service spokesman Roy Betts said the goal was to generate excitement.

But to committee members, as well as many collectors, it has come across as a gimmick and an unfair lottery. The Harry Potter stamp is eliciting similar response.

“The attitude should be that stamps are works of art and little pieces of history,” said Don Schilling, a collector in Los Angeles who publishes an online stamp blog. “They shouldn’t be reduced to the latest fads, whatever’s going to sell.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone you care about. Anger might be closer to the surface than you realize. Your sense of humor is contagious. Tonight: Venture off the beaten track.

Brother is afraid to leave bipolar wife Dear Annie: My sister-in-law, “Marie,” has been diagnosed as bipolar, but doesn’t take any medication.

For 25 years, it has caused serious trouble. Marie is a spiteful, evil, controlling human being. You can’t find a single person in town with a kind word to say about her. Her own daughters try to keep their distance.

My brother is afraid to leave her and instead seeks the company of other women. He’s had many affairs during their marriage. All of the men he works with are aware of this and even encourage it because they see how awful his wife is.

As brothers, we were always close, but Marie has managed to sever our relationship. My brother is not a healthy man. He works extra hours in order to stay away from home. His latest girlfriend is a beautiful, kind, sweet woman. He adores her, but is afraid of what Marie might do. She has threatened to destroy his life if he ever leaves her. Her threats are real.

While we do not condone his cheating, the family has witnessed his painful marriage. What can we do? — Brother to Brother Dear Brother: Marie should not be allowing her bipolar disease to control her behavior. It would help if your brother could get her to see a doctor and find a medication that works for her. If she refuses and your brother is truly afraid to leave because of her threats, this would be considered emotional abuse. Suggest that he contact the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (dahmw.org) at 1-888-7HELPLINE. Dear Annie: My older brother will be 60 this year, and he and his friends are hosting a group party in another state. His entire family lives here, including his son. That means for the majority of the guests, attending will include travel and hotel expenses. I am fine with that. What I don’t get is that this event isn’t offering any

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Continue what might be a very intense one-on-one conversation. Keep conversations moving. Tonight: With a favorite person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You need to be sensitive to your significant other or to whomever you are dealing with. Fatigue marks an angry discussion that you normally would not have.

Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Pace yourself, especially if you suddenly become buried in a plethora of information or calls. You need to handle an immediate situation. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your mischievous side might emerge with a partner who, unfortunately, might not be in the same playful mood. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Pressure builds as you run into a grumpy associate. At the same time, someone is very demanding on the homefront. Tonight: Head on home.

meals. That means dinner is on us, and we will have to pay for drinks at the party. I think this is just plain wrong.

We are a small family and very close. I have invited my brother to numerous dinners here over the years. I suggested that we celebrate his birthday with a family dinner at my house, and he said, “That is not going to happen.” I don’t know what to think. — Party Pooper, Santa Cruz Dear Party: We are confused by the words “hosting a party” when the guests are paying for everything.

Nonetheless, your brother can have the party of his choosing in the location he prefers, and you get to decide whether or not to attend. Determine how important it is for you to be there. If your brother would be hurt by your absence, please go if you can afford to do so.

Dear Annie: This is for “Searching for Answers,” whose wife of 11 years doesn’t want sex. She works in a profession, maintains a home, runs five miles a day to keep herself in shape and is raising three young kids.

I’d like to offer him my insight of 73 years, 46 of which have been spent married to my wonderful wife.

Sex is like the frosting on a cake.

It tops off a good thing. But frosting without the cake is not satisfying.

Those who marry in order to have an easy source of sex should work out some other way to satisfy their needs. A marriage where sex is the prime motivation will become tedious and dull or will not last.

Marriage consists of many things, some good, some bad. It is living day to day in a quiet routine. It means that you have a close companion with whom you can share a sunset.

Think before you throw in the towel on your marriage and give up the cake for the frosting. — An Old Guy Who’s Been There
