In response to attack ads, Ronchetti campaign launches website dinging Dow over ‘liberal’ record; candidate previously indicated he wouldn’t go after rivals

By Daniel J. Chacón

State Rep. Rebecca Dow is used to critics calling her a right-winger.

But getting labeled a liberal is new territory for her — until now.

A new website — dowrecord. com — asserts she “has one of the most liberal voting records of any Republican” in the state House of Representatives.

Dow, a Republican from Truth or Consequences, is one of five candidates seeking the GOP nomination for governor in a race that has turned into a competition over which candidate is the true conservative.

It’s a strategy one political pollster said could backfire when the winner of June 7 primary election faces Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in the general election in November.

Dow fired the first missive Tuesday by unleashing a blistering campaign ad that branded rival Mark Ronchetti,

a former television meteorologist some consider the front-runner in the five-way race, a fake conservative.

Ronchetti indicated at a recent forum he wouldn’t take any shots at his primary challengers for the sake of the party.

“If we continue shrinking down our party — taking all the shots we can and looking like we would rather beat each other up than become governor — then we will not succeed,” he said.

Dow’s campaign commercial, however, forced Ronchetti to change course, his spokesman, Enrique Knell, wrote in an email.

“Mark was running an entirely positive campaign and had not even mentioned his opponents,” Knell wrote.

“But we’re not going to agree to unilateral disarmament when Dow launched her second negative TV spot and we have no choice but to set the record straight.”

NATION&WORLD Some Dems focus on stock trade ban ahead of midterms

IN BRIEF Meadows says Capitol riot panel has sought to publicly ‘vilify’ him WASHINGTON — Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows accused the congressional committee investigating last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol of leaking all of the text messages he provided to the panel in what he says was an effort to vilify him publicly.

The argument was made in a filing Friday in Washington’s federal court, where Meadows sued in December to invalidate subpoenas issued to him for his testimony and to Verizon for his cellphone records.

In the latest filing, lawyers for Meadows asked a judge to reject the committee’s request for a court ruling in its favor that could force Meadows to comply with the subpoenas.

The committee requested an expedited briefing schedule Wednesday after filing its motion the previous week.

The lawyers say Meadows deserves a chance through the fact-gathering process known as discovery to gather information about questions that are still in dispute, such as the committee’s claims that former President Donald Trump did not properly invoke executive privilege over the items subpoenaed by the panel because he did not communicate that position directly to the committee.

Conn. lawmakers pass bill to be safe haven for abortion patients The Connecticut state Senate gave final approval late Friday to a novel plan to turn the state into an abortion safe haven for patients who live in conservative states that are moving rapidly to restrict access to the procedure.

The bill, which Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, has promised to sign, was designed to shield patients and abortion providers against some of the most controversial elements of recent state-level antiabortion laws — including provisions allowing private citizens to sue anyone who helps facilitate an abortion and measures seeking to prevent residents from receiving abortions across state lines.

“Legislators in [anti-abortion] states have made clear that their intent is not only to ban abortion within their own states borders but to ban it in states where it is expressly permitted,” said state Rep. Matt Blumenthal, a Democrat, one of the sponsors of the bill.

Israel arrests Palestinian pair of attackers who killed guard JERUSALEM — The Israeli military on Saturday said it has arrested a pair of Palestinian assailants who allegedly shot and killed a security guard at the entrance of a Jewish settlement in the West Bank. The detention followed a manhunt that was launched shortly after the attack late Friday. Israeli soldiers, special forces, and border police took part in the detention and seizure of weapons from the two suspects, who it said were seized in the village of Qarawat Bani Hassan.

The fresh attack, combined with the death of a Palestinian man elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, could further fuel tensions that have soared over the past two months. A string of Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have left 15 Israelis dead, while at least 27 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli security forces in recent weeks.

The security guard was shot outside Ariel, a major settlement in the northern West Bank, late Friday night by a pair of assailants in a car, the army said. It said the guard stood in front of another guard who was with him, saving her life.

President roasts Trump and himself at correspondents’ dinner WASHINGTON — The annual White House media corps gala returned Saturday night along with the roasting of Washington, the journalists who cover it and the man at the helm: President Joe Biden.

The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, which the pandemic sidelined in 2020 and 2021, returned with Biden as the first president in six years to accept an invitation. Former President Donald Trump shunned the event while in office.

“Just imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year,” Biden told an audience of 2,600 people. “Now that would really have been a real coup.”

The president took the opportunity to make light of the criticism he has faced in his 18 months in office and take aim at his predecessor, the Republican Party and the members of the media.

“I’m really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans with a lower approval rating than I have,” Biden said.

The overlooked history of Black Catholic nuns Researcher recounts discrimination, racism nuns have experienced

By David Crary

Associated Press

E

ven as a young adult, Shannen Dee Williams — who grew up Black and Catholic in Memphis, Tenn. — knew of only one Black nun, and a fake one at that: Sister Mary Clarence, as played by Whoopi Goldberg in the comic film Sister Act. After 14 years of tenacious research, Williams — a history professor at the University of Dayton — arguably now knows more about America’s Black nuns than anyone in the world. Her comprehensive and compelling history of them, Subversive Habits, will be published May 17.

Williams found that many Black nuns were modest about their achievements and reticent about sharing details of bad experiences, such as encountering racism and discrimination.

Some acknowledged wrenching events only after Williams confronted them with details gleaned from other sources.

“For me, it was about recognizing the ways in which trauma silences people in ways they may not even be aware of,” she said.

The story is told chronologically, yet always in the context of a theme Williams forcefully outlines in her preface: that the nearly 200-year history of these nuns in the U.S. has been overlooked or suppressed by those who resented or disrespected them.

“For far too long, scholars of the American, Catholic, and Black pasts have unconsciously or consciously declared — by virtue of misrepresentation, marginalization, and outright erasure — that the history of Black Catholic nuns does not matter,” Williams writes, depicting her book as proof that their history “has always mattered.”

The book arrives as numerous American institutions, including religious groups, grapple with their racist pasts and shine a spotlight on their communities’ overlooked Black pioneers.

Williams begins her narrative in the preCivil War era when some Black women — even in slave-holding states — found their way into Catholic sisterhood. Some entered previously whites-only orders, often in subservient roles, while a few trailblazing women succeeded in forming orders for Black nuns in

Baltimore and New Orleans.

Even as the number of American nuns — of all races — shrinks relentlessly, that Baltimore order founded in 1829 remains intact, continuing its mission to educate Black youths. Some current members of the Oblate Sisters of Providence help run Saint Frances Academy, a high school serving low-income Black neighborhoods.

Some of the most detailed passages in Subversive Habits recount the Jim Crow era, extending from the 1870s through the 1950s, when Black nuns were not spared from the segregation and discrimination endured by many other African Americans.

In the 1960s, Williams writes, Black nuns were often discouraged or blocked by their white superiors from engaging in the civil rights struggle.

Yet one of them, Sister Mary Antona Ebo, was on the front lines of marchers who gathered in Selma, Ala., in 1965 in support of Black voting rights and in protest of the violence of Bloody Sunday when white state troopers brutally dispersed peaceful Black demonstrators.

An Associated Press photo of Ebo and other nuns in the march on March 10 — three days after Bloody Sunday — ran on the front pages of many newspapers.

During two decades before Selma, Ebo faced repeated struggles to break down racial barriers. At one point, she was denied admittance to Catholic nursing schools because of her race, and she later endured segregation policies at the white-led order of sisters she joined in St. Louis in 1946, according to Williams.

The idea for Subversive Habits took shape in 2007, when Williams — then a graduate student at Rutgers University — was desperately seeking a compelling topic for a paper due in a seminar on African American history.

At the library, she searched through microfilm editions of Black-owned newspapers and came across a 1968 article in the Pittsburgh Courier about a group of Catholic nuns forming the National Black Sisters’ Conference.

The accompanying photo, of four smiling Black nuns, “literally stopped me in my tracks,” she said. “I was raised Catholic. …

How did I not know that Black nuns existed?”

NAOMI JUD D, 1946 -2022

Grammy-winning artist known for band The Judds

By Kristin M. Hall Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Naomi Judd, whose family harmonies with daughter Wynonna turned them into the Grammy-winning country stars The Judds, has died. She was 76.

Her daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, announced her death on Saturday in a statement provided to the Associated Press.

“Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother

to the disease of mental illness,” the statement said. “We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in Naomi Judd unknown territory.”

Naomi Judd died near Nashville, said a statement on behalf of her husband and fellow singer, Larry Strickland. It said no further details about

her death would be released and asked for privacy as the family grieves.

The Judds were to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday, and they had just announced an arena tour to begin in the fall, their first tour together in over a decade.

The mother-daughter performers scored 14 No. 1 songs in a career that spanned nearly three decades. The redheaded duo combined the traditional Appalachian sounds of bluegrass with polished pop stylings, scoring hit after hit in the 1980s. Wynonna led the duo

WASHINGTON — When Rep. Abigail Spanberger first introduced a bill banning stock trading by members of Congress and their families, the Virginia Democrat managed to get only eight co-sponsors. So far this session, 62 — or about 1 out of every 7 House members — have signed on.

It’s a similar story in the Senate. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., a once-lonely voice on the issue, had just one co-sponsor for his proposed stock trading ban in the last two congressional sessions. Now, he has nine.

The uptick in support reflects a growing lawmaker appetite to tighten the rules around trading after several members faced heavy scrutiny for their stock transactions during the pandemic.

While there’s no guarantee any of the proposals will become law, many lawmakers facing the toughest reelection races have embraced the legislation, elevating the ethics issue as a talking point — and potential point of attack — for the midterm campaigns.

Even with voters focused on issues like inflation and the war in Ukraine, Spanberger said the trading ban comes up time and again when she meets with constituents.

“No matter where I am, somebody brings it up,” said Spanberger, who is among those lawmakers facing a difficult reelection bid.

But it’s not clear sailing. Other lawmakers, particularly Republicans, are skeptical and raising concerns about the merits of such a ban and the logistics of enforcing it. And while congressional leaders say they are open to the proposals, there are doubts from some lawmakers about whether that will translate to action.

“The headwind is that some members of Congress don’t want to abide by these rules, and some of those members are in leadership,” Spanberger said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., initially said she did not support a stock trading ban back in December.

“We are a free market economy. They should be able to participate in that,” she told reporters. But in February, she announced she was open to one. “It’s complicated, and members will figure it out. And then we’ll go forward with what the consensus is,” she said.

Under current law, members of Congress and government employees must report the sale and purchases of stocks, bonds, commodity futures and other securities no more than 30 days after learning they were made and within 45 days of a transaction exceeding $1,000.

But lawmakers have been routinely late in filing such notices and, in some cases, didn’t file at all, leading to a flurry of complaints to the House Ethics Committee.

During a House hearing on the issue in April, Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., said it’s clear the current disclosure laws aren’t working as intended. But he characterized the violations as mostly inadvertent.

Davis said he’s heard little from constituents about the stock trading and worries that requiring lawmakers to put assets in a blind trust would prove inordinately expensive for many lawmakers.

Still, he’s open to finding a compromise “that doesn’t encourage the ultrawealthy to be only ones to run for Congress.”

Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., went further. He said Americans have the “right and freedom to participate in a free and fair market economy.”

Ukrainians: ‘Our Kremlin deploys new troops to Ukraine roots are there’

By Marc Santora, Jane Arraf and Michael Levenson New York Times

Many travel across front lines in journey home

By Cara Anna

Associated Press

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine — A tiny, Soviet-made car is bed tonight for the older couple waiting to risk their lives by crossing the war’s front line in Ukraine.

But they’re not fleeing — they’re going back in.

“Everything is there. Our roots are there,” says the man, 75. “Even people from Mariupol want to go back.”

They don’t want to share their names out of fears for their safety as they attempt to make the long drive back to the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, the scene of some of the war’s fiercest fighting.

For some, the pull is to reach loved ones, often vulnerable due to illness or infirmity, who were left behind. For others, it’s a journey of nostalgia and defiance.

The couple want to go back to their home in Donetsk to take a look at least. They’re old. They’re homesick. It’s time to take chances. “Where else should we go?” the man says.

Recent weeks have seen many Ukrainians who fled the country return home, but in many cases that’s because Russian forces withdrew from the area around the capital, Kyiv, regrouping for an offensive in the east. It’s unknown how many people have crossed the front lines to return to contested areas and occupied cities.

Here in the city of Zaporizhzhia is a parking lot where volunteers have helped thousands of people fleeing in battered vehicles. Some have shattered windows. Others are missing doors. Many have signs saying “children” taped to their windshields.

On the edges of this are people headed in the other direction.

One is Igor Filko, who stands alone on the sidewalk, smoking.

The 30-year-old was released Wednesday after three years in prison, emerging into a world he hardly recognized.

“Everything is different,” he says. “Everything is wrong.”

He is trying to make his way to the seaside city of Berdyansk to his wife, small child and mother.

Russian forces are tightening their control over Berdyansk, Filko said. They tell residents they should switch to Russian passports and the currency will change to the ruble soon. His family wants to leave. He wants to help them.

“I don’t know of another plan,” Filko says. “All my hopes are on getting at least my child out.”

Each family reaching the reception center has its own harrowing story.

Tatyana Vasileva’s vehicle was shot at near the final checkpoint on the journey from occupied Melitopol, in the southeast. A shell flew over their roof, and Russian soldiers stole her money.

“Thank God we left before it got too bad,” Vasileva says.

Vitaly Bizyuk and his family drove three days to find an open corridor from there to Zaporizhzhia. Along the way, they were pressured at Russian checkpoints to change their mind. Bizyuk is originally from Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.

“They asked me, ‘Why not go there?’ ” he says. “I said, ‘Why, what did I forget there?’ ” Disheveled and standing next to his dust-covered car, he describes life under occupation.

The ruble will be introduced Sunday. Tanks are in the streets.

Bizyuk holds up a pack of Russian cigarettes and looks unhappy: “I needed to smoke.”

Over two months into the war, he also needed to get out. Unlike the couple in the Lada, he sees no return in sight.

Russia is calling in troops based in its far east to join the battle in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military high command said Saturday, as Moscow seeks to reinforce its war-fighting force amid heavy losses and signs its drive to seize eastern Ukraine has stalled.

Adding to the sense both sides appeared to be girding for a war of attrition, Ukrainians on Saturday lined up at gas stations across the country as the government struggled to deal with a fuel shortage caused by Russian attacks on oil infrastructure.

“Queues and rising prices at gas stations are seen in many regions of our country,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said Friday in his nightly address. “The occupiers are deliberately destroying the infrastructure for the production, supply and storage of fuel.”

He said a Russian blockade of Ukrainian seaports meant replacement stocks could not come in by tanker. The war has also paralyzed grain harvests in Ukraine, known as Europe’s breadbasket, disrupting global food supplies and worsening a food crisis in East Africa.

The fuel shortages in Ukraine followed recent Russian attacks on Ukraine’s main producer of fuel products and other large refineries. Russia said it had also hit storage facilities for petroleum products used by the Ukrainian military.

A senior Pentagon official said these types of attacks were intended to undercut the Ukrainian military’s ability to “replenish their own stores and to reinforce themselves.”

FINBARR O’REILLY/NEW YORK TIMES

Hanna Tazaiev, 64, is given a Ukrainian flag in Lviv on Friday.

The flag covered the coffin of her son, Liubomyr Tazaiev, who was killed while fighting in Popasna in the Luhansk region.

In response, officials in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, urged residents to use public transportation rather than private vehicles to save fuel. “We need to keep in mind the needs of the military and our defenders,” the city’s administration said.

The Kremlin’s deployment of troops from eastern Russia to the battlefront in Ukraine suggested Moscow could be trying to regain momentum in what the Pentagon has described as a “plodding” offensive in eastern Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military said the additional Russian forces were being sent first to a Russian city near the Ukrainian border and then to the northeastern Ukrainian city of Izium, where the Russians have met fierce resistance. It did not say how many troops were being deployed.

Western analysts have said Russia’s offensive in the east has slowed as it struggles to overcome many of the same

logistical problems involving shipments of food, fuel, weapons and ammunition that hampered the initial phase of its invasion more than two months ago.

On Saturday, the British Defense Ministry said Russia was trying to fix issues that had constrained its invasion by geographically concentrating combat power, shortening supply lines and simplifying command and control.

But Russia “still faces considerable challenges,” the ministry said in its latest intelligence update on the war. “It has been forced to merge and redeploy depleted and disparate units from the failed advances in northeast Ukraine. Many of these units are likely suffering from weakened morale.”

An increasing supply of heavy artillery and other powerful weapons from the West have also bolstered Ukrainian forces on the front lines.

In a move that could presage

the transfer of MiG-29 warplanes to Ukraine, Slovakia announced Friday it had reached an agreement with neighboring Poland for Polish F-16 jets to patrol its skies, freeing up a Slovak fleet of the Soviet-made fighters.

Poland and Slovakia, both NATO members bordering Ukraine, are among the alliance’s most robust supporters of the U.S.-led effort to help Ukraine resist Russia’s invasion.

After a meeting between the two countries’ defense ministers Friday in Bratislava, the Slovak capital, Poland said its air force would begin patrols over Slovakia as part of their joint efforts to help Ukraine. No timeline was given for when the patrols would start.

Slovakia has not said explicitly it will send its MiGs to Ukraine, but it has raised the possibility of doing so — provided it can find an alternative way to protect its airspace, which the agreement with Poland would seem to achieve.

The fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine has exacted an increasingly heavy toll on both militaries. The Russian Defense Ministry said Saturday its forces had fired on 389 targets across Ukraine, including facilities housing soldiers, killing 120 Ukrainians.

Ukraine said its special forces struck a command center near Izium, destroying dozens of tanks and armored vehicles.

“In Donbas, the occupiers are doing everything to destroy any life in this area,” Zelenskyy said, referring to the eastern region of Ukraine where Russia has massed its troops. “Russia wants to make this area uninhabited.”

LAS VEGAS, N.M. — Virginia Roybal rents, on average, about one-third of her 38 rooms at Town House Motel.

With over 1,000 personnel battling the Calf Creek and Hermits Peak Fire, however, the motel at 1215 Grand Ave. in Las Vegas, which Roybal has owned for 40 years, has been fully booked since early April.

Roybal has also taken in evacuees and their pets.

“One [evacuee] checked out yesterday when he was told he could go back in at his own risk,” Roybal said one day last week.

“His room will be gone if he comes back. Last night, they were still calling at 11 o’clock.”

Most of the city’s motels and

hotels are fully booked, and restaurants are slammed as firefighters continue to fight the more than 97,000-acre fire in San Miguel and Mora counties, where hundreds have evacuated.

The blaze also has destroyed more than 160 structures, authorities have said. Dick’s Pub and Restaurant has been twice as busy as normal, said Charlotte Moore, who has owned the restaurant at 705 Douglas Ave. for 30 years.

“I’m wearing many hats, from doing dishes to carrying out food to tables,” Moore said.

Dick’s is operating on a “shoestring” staff, still trying to recover from the employee shortage created by the coronavirus pandemic.

At the Historic El Fidel Hotel at 500 Douglas Ave., every room has been booked since the Hermits Peak Fire broke out in Gallinas Canyon on April 6, said owner Michelle Sandoval. The Calf Canyon Fire followed April 19, also in

Gallinas Canyon, and the blazes eventually merged.

“We’re coming out of COVID, when we had no travelers and then had a burst of travelers once restrictions were lifted,” Sandoval said. “We’ve been full since the first spark. I’ve had fire personnel on all levels from all agencies from the start.”

The hotel is fully staffed.

“It’s a lot, but we are staffed appropriately,” Sandoval said.

“Sometimes I have a [fire] crew going out and have crews coming in off the mountain after graveyard. We’re having to do things on the spur of the moment. All my staff is cross-trained, and everyone is doing their part and extra.”

Merlyn Gonzales, the owner of Laguna Vista Quik Stop on N.M. 518 south of Storrie Lake State Park, said she was “really busy selling gasoline and a little bit of food” during the initial evacuation a few days after the start of the

Hermits Peak Fire.

“Since then, we’ve been really slow because they haven’t been allowing people to go home,” Gonzales said.

Officials closed a portion of N.M. 518 between Las Vegas and Mora on April 23 due to the fire; the highway reopened Wednesday.

Sara Jo Mathews, who co-owns Prairie Hill Café in the Plaza Hotel with her fiancé, Ryan Snyder, said the restaurant has seen a lot of evacuees and firefighters.

“It may be not as much as you would expect,” Mathews said. “The firefighters work brutal hours and do have a lot of resources for food. We’ve still seen our fair share of them, and we do see evacuees.”

She has seen a drop in her local clientele. “I think a lot of people have taken in family members,” Mathews said. “Eating out gets painfully expensive.”

Kocina De Raphael server Lisa Martinez said the restaurant at 610 Legion Drive has seen a 10 percent to 15 percent increase in business.

“I think we’ve had a few families and we’ve had very few firefighters, but we’re always busy,” Martinez said.

Wind gives brief reprieve Continued from Page A-1

Images shared on social media Friday night showed smoke billowing behind the historic Montezuma Castle on campus.

Built in 1886, the 90,000-square-foot former hotel, located near popular hot springs, remained intact Saturday. The outlook for the castle — the third hotel constructed at the site after two others burned earlier in the 1880s — appeared optimistic.

But the risks were rapidly changing throughout the day as the fire crept farther south toward Las Vegas, N.M., and more days of high winds were in the forecast.

There was other good news in the aftermath of the Friday windstorm, one of several that has caused the Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon complex fire to spread more than 97,000 acres — possibly over 100,000 — since April 19, when winds kicked up and blew a prescribed fire out of control northwest of Las Vegas.

A second blaze ignited nearby a few days later, and the wildfires eventually merged, leading law enforcement to evacuate thousands of homes, sometimes late at night, and displaced residents to face days of uncertainty about what they would find when they returned to their abandoned properties.

Monica Aragon, who lives in Ledoux — a community a few miles south of Mora that firefighters had raced to protect overnight Friday — said her home was still standing Saturday.

“I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around the enormity of this fire — Las Vegas to Mora. It’s incredible to think about,” she said.

Perhaps voicing the thoughts of tens of thousands of people in San Miguel and Mora counties who have fled their homes in recent days, Aragon added, “The hardest thing is not knowing.”

Among those forced to evacuate were United World College’s high school juniors and seniors, who are from cities across the nation and around the globe.

They were housed overnight at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, where they were in good spirits Saturday, UWC spokesman Carl-Martin Nelson said. The school was planning to move them to alternate housing in Glorieta over the weekend.

The evacuation had become a “slumber party,” for the kids, he said, while teachers tried to keep them focused on their studies.

“We’ve been preparing for the possibility that we might have to evacuate,” Nelson said, “… and so we don’t want to see the students get too far away from their work.”

The fire has gotten closer to the school than expected, he added.

Nation’s largest active fire Crews battling the Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon Fire took advantage of calmer winds Saturday to get grounded aircraft flying again — dropping water and retardant to cool the intense heat and taking infrared video of hot spots — in efforts to protect Las Vegas, Hot Springs and the Storrie Lake area before a “three-day wind event” expected to start Sunday.

Jayson Coil, an operations section chief for the incident management team overseeing the blaze, said in a Saturday morning briefing crews had worked through the night in driving winds to extinguish spot fires, hold black flames from threatened communities and protect homes still standing within its perimeter.

“We were watching the fire march about a mile every hour,” said a visibly weary Coil.

He described a “column collapse”

A plume of smoke towers over Montezuma and the United World College on Saturday as firefighters continue to battle the Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon complex fire. Winds had died down enough to allow helicopters to drop water from nearby Bradner Reservoir, but conditions still favored the fire, which continues to chew up acres of dry timber.

that pushed the wildfire past containment lines to the south. The phenomenon occurs when charred and smoldering debris goes airborne and then begins falling from the sky, lighting new fires.

The fire grew more than 22,000 acres between Friday afternoon and early Saturday and is now the largest active fire in the nation, according to the Associated Press.

About 1,020 personnel are working to contain it, prioritizing residential areas.

A growing list of communities were in “Go” status, meaning residents must evacuate, while others, including neighborhoods adjacent to Las Vegas, were advised to prepare for evacuation.

The Santa Fe National Forest posted an updated evacuation map Saturday afternoon, urging residents to immediately leave their homes if their neighborhood was on the list.

“This emerging situation remains extremely serious and refusal to evacuate could be a fatal decision,” the post warned.

Coil said the fire had not yet entered Hot Springs, a community near the southeastern edge of the fire that was evacuated Friday. Mineral Hill, another threatened community, had not burned, he added, and fire lines were holding around Rociada.

In the fire’s northwest area, flames spread late Friday past containment

lines and raced toward Ledoux. “That was a heck of a fight last night” and was mostly successful, Coil said.

There were some areas near Ledoux where fire “slopped across the road,” he said in a later briefing, and thick smoke above the community kept pilots from flying there Saturday.

To the east, he said, crews faced “a heck of wind test” to keep the fire from spreading across N.M. 518, while flames in a southwestern wilderness area were allowed to burn uncontained as resources were shifted elsewhere.

Coil, whose incident management team was preparing to hand the battle to a new team Sunday, commended crews’ “exceptional job” overnight Friday, saying they often would “disengage when there was a threat to their life and then reengage” in efforts to hold back the wildfire.

There were “a lot of saves,” he said.

Saturday’s fight, he noted, was to keep the fire from continuing its move southward. He pointed on a map to bulldozer lines aimed to contain it.

Officials have been unable to assess the extent of the damage from the fire’s recent spread, though San Miguel County Sheriff Chris Lopez noted in an evening briefing more structures have been destroyed. In previous days, officials said the fire had burned more than 160 homes.

“It’s still burning too hot for anyone

to get in there,” San Miguel County Manager Joy Ansley said.

Mike Johnson, a spokesman for the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon incident management team, said the blaze has reached Gallinas and some other evacuated communities.

However, he said, “That doesn’t necessarily mean that everything within that is burned. … We had structure protection in place the last week or so.”

Aircraft were grounded Friday due to high winds, he said, but helicopters and airplanes assigned to the fire were back in the air Saturday.

Johnson offered a bit of good news: The water treatment plant in Hot Springs that serves the city of Las Vegas had not been affected by the fire.

The state Environment Department confirmed late Friday the city’s water remained safe to drink, and city officials said the plant has enough supply to last three days, even if the power goes out.

Meteorologist Gary Zell said in an afternoon briefing that gusts Friday had reached 40-60 mph in some areas of the blaze. While winds were calmer Saturday, he said another red-flag warning will be in effect Sunday, and on Monday “the winds really don’t slack at all.”

He forecast a third day of heavy gusts Tuesday.

Cerro Pelado Fire grows Friday’s winds also increased activity on the Cerro Pelado Fire in the Jemez Mountains near the Valles Caldera National Preserve, which more than doubled in size to 15,600 acres from a previously reported 7,245.

Mike Lindberry, a spokesman for the incident management team fighting the Cerro Pelado, said it spread to the east and southeast, with most of the growth in the burn scar of the 2011 Las Conchas Fire. The blaze remained only 15 percent contained, but Linberry said crews were scouting for roads and ridges that could be used to set up fire lines.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday it was closing Cochiti Lake to all water recreation while the reservoir was being used as a water

supply for aerial firefighting crews on the Cerro Pelado Fire.

Officials reported little growth of the nearly 56,000-acre Cooks Peak Fire, burning in Mora and Colfax counties. It had spread less than 300 hundred acres, despite Friday’s winds, said Dave Shell, a spokesman for the incident management team.

“That’s a success because yesterday was very hot, dry and windy,” Shell said.

“On a scale of one to five, yesterday was probably like a six — super dry, strong wind — but our fire lines all held. So we’re very happy and everybody’s safe.”

Some of Saturday’s efforts on the fire were stalled, however, by the discovery of a drone intrusion, officials said. They urged drone operators to keep flights out of the area to prevent an aircraft strike that could be fatal.

In other areas of the state, crews were fighting smaller blazes that sparked Thursday and Friday.

The Water Fire, which ignited Thursday in the Gila National Forest in southwestern New Mexico, was estimated at 765 acres Saturday.

Another new fire was detected late Friday in Union County, officials reported Saturday. The Skiles 429 Fire, a few miles west of the Oklahoma border, had burned 2,500 acres on state and private land.

‘We’re not going to agree to unilateral disarmament’ Continued from Page A-1

As part of that effort, Ronchetti’s campaign created the website painting Dow as a liberal.

“The Ronchetti campaign created the website to set the record straight by pointing out Rebecca Dow’s liberal voting record that stands in stark contrast to her newfound and fake ‘Trump conservative’ campaign propaganda,” Knell wrote.

Pollster Brian Sanderoff said such tactics are not unusual — for either party — leading up to a primary election.

“These candidates in the Republican primary are striving to win their primary election before getting to the general,” he said.

“You don’t have an opportunity to participate in the general election unless you win the primary. So, they are doing what they think is best to win the first round — because there is no second round unless they get through the first.”

It’s typical, he said, for Republican candidates in a primary to “move to the right to pick up more conservative voters.”

“Strategically, they really have no choice but to position themselves to the right or more conservatively to get through the first round,” he said.

Ahead of the general election, Sanderoff added, candidates “tend to move back to center.”

“Only about 30 percent of New Mexico’s registered voters are Republicans,” he noted, “so simple math tells you that for Republicans to win the general election, they have to pick up a sizable amount of independents as well as Democrats.”

If Dow or Ronchetti wins the primary, he said, Democrats are likely to use their primary election battle tactics to “paint that Republican candidate as too conservative or too much aligned with former President Trump.

They will use that to try to paint the Republican candidate as out of touch.”

Dow, who previously described herself as a compassionate conservative, vowed in her first statewide campaign ad to “finish” former President Donald Trump’s wall at the U.S./ Mexico border if she’s elected governor.

Ronchetti’s new website, which features an unflattering photo of Dow with her mouth wide open, claims Dow is now trying to “fool Republicans into believing she’s a tough conservative.” It includes links to some of her votes in the Legislature, including what the website said was voting twice to give stimulus funds to undocumented immigrants.

“Our state was shut down,” Dow said. “People no longer had food. They had no income.

Businesses were closed and shut down. Municipalities had no operating budget. We had a special session to provide relief, and they’re picking apart where less than one-half of 1 percent went?”

Dow noted Republicans are in the minority in both chambers of the Legislature and that she would block taxpayer-funded

relief to undocumented immigrants if she was in the Governor’s Office.

“If I were governor, I would have Mark general counRonchetti sel and policy advisers to help me line-item veto dollars that go to noncitizens,” she said.

The website also takes Dow to task for missing votes, including when “MLG,” a reference to Lujan Grisham, “passed the law giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.”

The website offers a link to the official roll call showing Dow’s absence when the House voted on “driver’s license changes” in Senate Bill 278 during the 2019 session.

A synopsis of the bill states it amended the Motor Vehicle Code to mandate only two types of driver’s licenses: a standard license and one compliant with federal Real ID requirements.

Former Republican Gov. “Susana Martinez gave driver’s licenses to [noncitizens], not Michelle Lujan Grisham,” Dow said.

Dow maintains she has a “proven conservative record,” unlike Ronchetti, who has never served in public office.

“Ronchetti has no record because he has no experience,” Dow said.

Dow suspects Ronchetti launched the website because she’s gaining ground on the campaign trail.

“What I see is an indication the true conservative is coming out ahead of a flip-flopper, and he’s grasping at straws to try to put me in a different light than who I am,” she said.

Dow said she’s never voted for a tax increase or against the oil and gas industry or border security.

“I’m an advocate for life, and I vote to defend our Bill of Rights and our constitutional rights. He can say none of that,” she said.

“I have thousands of votes, thousands of votes, and this is what they’ve chosen to pick apart?” she added. “I have a lifetime A rating with the [National Rifle Association]. I’ve been endorsed my entire career by Right to Life. The Conservation Voters of New Mexico call me the most dangerous legislator in southwest New Mexico. But Mark Ronchetti [is trying to portray] me as a liberal?”

Dow said she found the characterization “completely laughable.”

“This is funny,” she said. “So, I’m a liberal before the primary and then when we get to the general [election in November] I’m going to be a ravish rightwinger? Maybe they should go look at some of the comments on my [Facebook] page and how many times I’m called a radical right-winger.”

emotional turmoil faced by thousands of families.”

Other families face similar situations. Like Ganesan, Deva and her husband moved their children to the United States from India when they were young. For more than a decade, the children and Deva, who asked to be identified by a nickname, lived as dependents on her husband’s indefinite work visa.

Deva said her husband’s employer, an American automaker, could decide at any point not to extend his visa, which must be renewed every three years.

She said she feared antagonizing the employer if she was identified speaking publicly about her family’s situation.

The family’s hopes of staying together in the United States ended in December, when Deva’s daughter turned 21.

Having exhausted appeals for an extension and unable to apply for a different visa, the daughter moved to Canada days later.

The effects on the family were far-reaching. A week before her daughter was set to leave, Deva said, her son, now 17, tried to hurt himself, alarming his sister.

She postponed her departure by a week while the family sought counseling for him.

Deva’s son said during counseling that he had struggled with his mental health for months while watching his family navigate their legal status, she said.

Her daughter, who enrolled in a master’s program in Canada, is less than an hour’s drive from her friends and family but cannot enter the United States while she waits for a tourist visa.

At a Senate hearing in March, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, top GOP member on the panel’s immigration subcommittee, vowed to work on legislation to help people who had grown up in the United States without a clear path to citizenship.

In emotional testimony at the hearing, Athulya Rajakumar, 23, spoke of the toll of growing up in Seattle as a dependent of her single mother, who had a temporary work visa. She described how she and her brother struggled with depression and how her family’s status as temporary visa holders hindered him from receiving the treatment he needed.

He later took his own life.

“We didn’t know how badly it was going to affect us,” Rajakumar, who lives in Texas on a work visa, said in an interview.

THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN

NUMBERS GAME Continued from Page A-1

demonstrate proficiency, a problem that leaves many kids struggling to keep up with peers, can prompt high schoolers to drop out and leads to high numbers of college students in remedial math classes.

Recently, Santa Fe district administrators reported 12 percent of students who participated in midyear exams earned scores showing proficiency, far below the 49 percent of test takers who scored well in reading. School officials said they are confident the rate of students grasping math skills will rise to about 20 percent by the end of the year — outmatching the 18 percent proficiency rate in 2020-21 and in line with pre-pandemic test results.

“The projections are pretty solid,” said Peter McWain, the district’s director of curriculum and instruction, citing steady growth throughout the school year. Only 6 percent of students showed proficiency at the year’s start.

Considering two years of learning disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic, McWain is optimistic about the results.

“We’re surprised we didn’t cut our performance in half because of the pandemic, because a lot of the research is coming out and saying, ‘Expect the worst,’ ” he said.

Still, state education officials, public school administrators, teachers and advocates are searching for solutions to a dismal math proficiency rate that hasn’t budged. They cite a range of needs: u More focus on how to teach math in teacher preparation programs. u Math teaching coaches in schools. u Math tutors — including those who are bilingual — in classrooms. u Interactive learning materials that make math more relevant to students’ lives. u Initiatives that build enthusiasm around a subject that instead tends to spur anxiety, even in teachers and parents.

On Friday, the New Mexico Public Education Department announced it will launch a yearlong “Math is Me” campaign in August to help improve students’ perceptions of their ability to build math skills.

“A great proportion of the population decides ‘math is not for me,’ and they carry that sentiment into adulthood,” Jacqueline Costales, the department’s director of curriculum and instruction, said in a statement on the new initiative. “So kids come to school with that fear from their parents, and they continue that fear and that belief that math is almost impossible for them to do.”

“To a certain extent, this is a marketing problem,” added Seana Flanagan, who oversees the department’s role in teacher preparation. “How are we marketing math to kids? We have to attract people to teaching who have a passion for math and can convey that and get kids excited about it.”

Parke has several classroom strategies aimed at easing students’ anxiety and boosting their confidence: She begins teaching new material with something kids can grasp right away to ward off low self-esteem; she’s ditched rows of seats for clusters of desks to encourage students to work together; a bilingual “word wall” is displayed near carefully handwritten math posters to help her Spanish-speaking students follow along more easily.

“Having a successful unit first helps,” Parke said. “They feel like, ‘This year isn’t going to be so bad.’ ” These tips and tricks have largely paid off. Parke estimates in most years, 90 percent of her students pass an end-of-course exam.

The number will probably be lower this year, she said, due to the lingering effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Still, she is seeing sustained growth in her classroom. That’s what Parke lives for.

“I have several students who say, ‘I’ve never gotten math till now,’ “ she said. “So that’s my big smiley face right there.”

Nonetheless, she acknowledged she and her students need additional support. She now has a bilingual tutor in her classroom — but the tutor arrived in April, just weeks from the school year’s end.

Sunday, May 1, 2022

without taking specific math courses, McWain noted.

“We fully, 100 percent, believe that expertise has a direct impact on student learning,” he said.

Data from the Public Education Department shows that out of 12 colleges in the state offering alternative licensing programs for elementary school teachers — an expedited path for people who hold bachelor’s degrees in other subjects — just four have courses on how to teach math.

In recent years, the number of teachers in the state licensed through the alternative pathway has grown. Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez estimates 95 percent of the district’s newest hires have achieved licenses through alternative programs rather than obtaining an education degree.

Requirements for teacher preparation programs are largely influenced by the Professional Practices and Standards Committee, which has advocated for the state to make basic skills exams — including one in math — optional for teachers in training.

Instead, the state will allow prospective teachers to submit a portfolio demonstrating their knowledge and skills.

Council Chairwoman Debra Dirksen, associate dean of Western New Mexico University’s school of education and a former math teacher, contends the state’s math requirements are lax in comparison to those for literacy.

The state assumes students in alternative licensing programs took math courses in their undergraduate studies, she added.

While the requirements might be “adequate,” Dirksen said, “maybe the approach isn’t adequate.”

Professional development for elementary school teachers who don’t specialize in math might be necessary, she said.

“Could we do a better job?

Yes,” Dirksen said. “That could be done in the instruction they receive in universities; that can be done in the schools.”

She’s hopeful a new math specialist endorsement for elementary teachers to serve as mentors for colleagues will lead to improvements. Since the endorsement program began in 2020, 23 teachers in the state have pursued it.

Many educators passionate about math seek out professional development opportunities on their own to learn ways to keep kids engaged.

Nina Otero Community School fourth grade teacher Brenda Dominguez, who has worked with MathAmigos, a local nonprofit that holds math workshops for educators, calls herself a big fan of professional development.

There are complex reasons why math scores are lagging, she said, but she finds when her students are not performing well in a key concept, it always comes back to her.

“It’s not the district, it’s not the book, it’s not the student. It’s me,” she said. “So what do I need to do better?”

‘More supports in the classroom’ MathAmigos founder Lynn Bickley recommends schools bring in more tutors to work with students in the classroom and have on-site teaching coaches available to offer techniques for teachers to help students develop a better understanding of math material.

Math tutor Leslie Nava of Santa Fe helps Jesse Burch, 14, with algebra at Ortiz Middle School on Thursday.

The state is trying to add more math tutors, including bilingual ones.

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO THE NEW MEXICAN

“I think teachers are like all first-line responders,” Bickley said.

“They’re asked to do so much now, so to maybe give them more supports in the classroom.”

Certain groups of students, in particular, could benefit from one-on-one classroom support.

Pre-pandemic data shows statewide, just 8 percent of English language learners demonstrated proficiency in math on standardized tests. The number fell to 6 percent in Santa Fe Public Schools.

Just 8 percent of students with disabilities and 16 percent of low-income kids were proficient in math in 2019, according to state data. The state offers standardized tests in Spanish, but students don’t always receive math instruction in their native language.

Parke said she has watched students who are learning English tangle with word problems, even though they are able to solve equations.

“Kids aren’t as proficient in the language, and the language of math is its own language on top of that,” she said. “ ‘Exponential’ and ‘quadratic,’ that’s new language.”

Chavez, the Santa Fe superintendent, blamed a pandemic-era staffing crisis on a lack of classroom support staff. The district plans to hire a math coordinator, he added.

Quelling fear, creating enthusiasm Geoffrey Moon, the gifted education support specialist for Santa Fe Public Schools, isn’t concerned about low math scores. Proficiency numbers — which vary from school to school — often fail to reflect the abilities of students, who come to class with a range of backgrounds and different levels of opportunity, he said.

“The way that math learning gets packaged, interpreted for the general public, is usually in terms of the percentage of kids meeting proficiency criteria,” Moon said.

“That can really skew the view of math growth and ability.”

Moon and other educators contend a lack of passion for math — or an outright dread, in many cases — often is rooted in anxiety passed on to students from their parents and teachers.

“A lot of fear from students is passed on from family or relatives: ‘Yeah, you’re getting a bad grade. It’s OK — I didn’t like math either,’ ” said Ortiz’s Parke.

That’s concerning to Warniment, who believes equipping young New Mexicans with math skills could bring big change and perhaps even shatter poverty cycles down the line.

She cited plans for a math campaign similar to Public Education Secretary Kurt Steinhaus’ Year of Literacy, launched in August to build interest in reading among students through book drives, free libraries and more tutoring.

“There hasn’t been a good

statewide initiative that focuses on math,” Warniment said.

‘We are mathematical all the time’ Susan Lemke, an instructor at Santa Fe Community College, sees in her basic algebra students, a mix of recent high school graduates and other adults, a lack of confidence in their skills, likely brought on by inadequate support throughout their schooling.

“If you talk to young kids, they often like math — a lot,” she said.

“Unfortunately, so many folks develop that anxiety, that confusion, that ‘I’m not a math person’ notion.”

Like other educators, she believes more attention to math across the board — from elementary school classrooms to teacher preparation programs — could ease the high anxiety that often derails student performance.

“There are a lot of misconceptions about what math is,” Lemke said. “We are mathematical all the time.”

Lemke’s students have to pass her class to earn their associate degrees.

Two of them, Josh Tario, 24, and Daniela Gonzalez, 18, said they were finally feeling confident about math after a rocky road through high school.

“Here, I’m learning,” said Tario, who hopes to become a history teacher. “I can’t tell you the last time I had a B in math class.”

Gonzales said she left high school feeling unprepared in math, in part because of teacher turnover. One year, she had four different teachers for the same math class.

In Lemke’s course, Gonzales has made a discovery.

“I’m pretty good at math,” she said.

Real-life connections The state is making a $50 million investment official believe will help to improve math proficiency through an “accelerated learning” effort guided by education nonprofit TNTP, aimed at catching students up from pandemic learning loss.

Research from the organization, founded 25 years ago, indicates low proficiency rates among some student groups often are due to teachers continually providing kids with lower-level work, causing them to fall months behind their peers.

The state education department has released a plan encouraging districts to focus on grade-level learning for all students.

McWain and Vanessa Romero, an associate superintendent at Santa Fe Public Schools, say new math curricula implemented across the district in 2020-21 adheres to grade-level standards and ensures continuity.

The district is phasing in EnVision Math from Savvas Learning Co., which touts itself as “a next-generation learning company” for high school and elementary students and is piloting Taos-based MidSchoolMath in grades seven and eight.

‘Expertise has a direct impact’ Education advocates looking for ways to improve math scores often point to training gaps in teacher education programs.

People can pursue careers as K-8 teachers in New Mexico

based in New Mexico — to teach math concepts.

Romero said eight of the 13 middle school math teachers in the district are now using MidSchoolMath.

The program’s use of visuals and local storytelling fall in line with what state education officials say is essential to engaging students in math.

“It’s not that the new curriculum is going to do magic things for us,” Chavez said. “I think it’s going to provide us a tool along with standards-based instruction to give us a great opportunity to move forward with proficiency in all areas.”

Costales, the state education department’s curriculum and instruction director, said making math more relevant to students’ everyday lives could help them start to see themselves as scientists and mathematicians.

“It’s actually in the application that students start to discover their math identity,” she said.

Real-life connections with math also could lead to better performance on standardized tests, Public Education Deputy Secretary Gwen Perea Warniment said. She offered examples of relevant questions: What does 300 percent interest on a loan mean?

What is the current amount of water in the Santa Fe Municipal Watershed?

“That’s what we [consider] deeper learning,” Warniment said.

GOP aims for state election offices

Tensions in backdrop of mayoral race

By Piper Hudspeth Blackburn Associated Press

By Christina A. Cassidy Associated Press

ATLANTA — Add one more group of contests to the white-hot races for Congress and governor that will dominate this year’s midterm elections: secretaries of state.

Former President Donald Trump’s attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 election and his subsequent endorsements of candidates for state election offices who are sympathetic to his view have elevated those races to top-tier status. At stake, say Democrats and others concerned about fair elections, is nothing less than American democracy.

The primary season begins in force in the coming week with elections in Ohio and Indiana.

Ohio voters will decide which candidate will emerge from the Republican primary for secretary of state, with the winner favored to eventually win the office in the GOP-dominated state.

Primaries for the top election offices will follow over the next few weeks in Nebraska, Idaho, Alabama and the presidential battleground of Georgia. While Indiana also holds a primary Tuesday, nominees for secretary of state and some other offices won’t be decided until party conventions in June.

In all, voters in about two dozen states will be deciding who will be their state’s next chief election official this year.

In three politically important states — Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas — the position will be filled by whoever wins the governor’s race. In New Hampshire, the decision will be made by the state Legislature — currently controlled by Republicans.

States United Action, a nonpartisan advocacy organization co-founded by Whitman, has been tracking secretary of state races and identified nearly two dozen Republican candidates who deny the results of the 2020 presidential election.

This year, the most high-profile races will unfold in four of the six states where Trump disputed his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan. Trump has endorsed secretary of state candidates in all but one, backing those who support his false claims.

There is no proof of widespread fraud or wrongdoing.

Judges, including ones appointed

by Trump, dismissed dozens of lawsuits filed by the former president and his allies after the 2020 election.

Last year, an Associated Press review of every potential 2020 voter fraud case in the six states disputed by Trump found nowhere near enough cases to change the outcome.

Kristina Karamo, Trump’s pick in Michigan, is the first to advance to the November election after state Republicans nominated her at the party’s April 23 convention. A community college professor, Karamo gained prominence after the 2020 election claiming she had seen irregularities in the processing of mail ballots while serving as an election observer in Detroit.

At a rally with Trump before the convention, she accused the media of trying to demonize her, adding “corruption in our elections systems is a national security threat.” She will face Benson, a former law school dean seeking her second term.

Of the 25 secretary of state races on the ballot this year, nine Republican and seven Democratic incumbents are running to keep their seats. While only one of the Democratic incumbents has drawn a challenger, seven Republican secretaries will be facing at least one GOP opponent who either denies Biden won or makes unsubstantiated claims that elections are not secure.

In nine states, incumbents have opted against seeking reelection, are running for higher office or are term-limited, leaving open contests. This includes Arizona and Nevada, which hold primaries in the coming months.

Another high-profile race is unfolding in Colorado, where a Republican county clerk under indictment for a security breach of voting systems is challenging Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat seeking a second term.

Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters has denied the charges, calling them politically motivated. She has been a frequent guest on conservative media and appeared at various events in 2020.

AUDRA MELTON/NEW YORK TIMES FILE PHOTO

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., speaks in Commerce, Ga. on March 29. Greene has said little about how she would represent communities new to her district if she is reelected.

Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg made his way from house to house in search of voters on a cold spring afternoon. But when people recognized him, it wasn’t for reasons he’d anticipated.

Some had seen news reports from Feb. 14, when a man showed up at Greenberg’s campaign headquarters and fired multiple rounds at the candidate and his staff. No one was hit, but a bullet

grazed Greenberg’s sweater. A local social justice activist was charged in the shooting.

Now Greenberg has resumed his campaign in a city roiled by racial tension, a spike in gun violence and deep misgivings many harbor about the Louisville police department.

The suspect in Greenberg’s shooting, Quintez Brown, 21, was also on the May 17 ballot, a candidate for metro council. He now faces state and federal charges.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Brown, who is Black, was released two days after the shooting when the Louisville Community Bail Fund paid his $100,000 bond.

Two years ago, this city of roughly 600,000 was known primarily as the home of the Kentucky Derby, bourbon whiskey and Muhammad Ali. Then a botched police raid in March 2020 left Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, dead in her own apartment at the hands of white police officers.

Majority-Black city struggles with redistricting

By Maya King New York Times

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. — Less than a 30-minute drive from Atlanta, Powder Springs embodies the changes reshaping Georgia politics. Shops and restaurants owned almost entirely by Black proprietors line its downtown center and are frequented by a growing population of young and racially diverse residents. The suburban city elected its first Black mayor in 2015, and the county where it sits, the former Republican stronghold of Cobb, voted for President Joe Biden by 14 percentage points in 2020.

There is one other big change: Powder Springs, a majority-Black city, may soon be represented in Congress by Marjorie Taylor Greene.

That development, the result of new district maps drawn by Georgia state legislators, was part of a Republican drive to blunt Democrats’ power. But for residents, the prospect of Powder Springs and another predominantly Black suburb, Austell, being represented by perhaps the most far-right Republican in Congress is raising questions that go beyond partisan politics.

“It’s about having someone that’s going to take your phone calls, who’s going to work on your behalf, who’s going to care what happens to your children, who is going to care about making sure you get to your job,” said state Rep. David Wilkerson, a Black Democrat who lives in and represents the communities now drawn into Greene’s congressional district.

The newly drawn 14th Congressional District is a result of a tactic called “cracking,” the

practice of breaking up blocs of voters and scattering them across multiple districts to dilute their voting power. It is common and legal under federal law.

Greene, who is best known as a bomb-thrower on social media, has said little about how she would represent the communities new to her district if she wins reelection in November. She did not respond to requests for comment.

In November, she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution she was unhappy her district was made slightly less Republican, calling the redistricting process a “fool’s errand that was led by power-obsessed state legislators.”

Greene won her seat by more than 50 percentage points in 2020 and her district will remain bright red under the new maps. It will still stretch through Georgia’s predominantly white and rural countryside all the way to its mountainous Tennessee border.

To be sure, plenty of Democratic voters around the country are represented by Republicans, and vice versa. But some voters see Greene’s brand of Republicanism as a particular affront.

The congresswoman has followed the QAnon conspiracy theory and questioned whether the Sept. 11 attack and school shootings were real.

She is facing a legal challenge to her candidacy after a group of Georgia voters sued to remove her from the ballot. The group argues her comments in the days leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, including calling the day “our 1776 moment,” helped incite the riot.

Greene testified she was referring to “the courage to object” to the election results but was not calling for violence.

Pakistani strikes Christian village unearths Crusader past escalate conflict on Afghan border

By Patrick Kingsley New York Times

By Christina Goldbaum and Safiullah Padshah New York Times

MANDATAH VILLAGE, Afghanistan — It was nearly 3 a.m. in the mountainous borderlands of eastern Afghanistan when a deafening thud jolted Qudratullah awake. Confused, he staggered to the doorway of his mud brick home, looked outside and froze.

Thick plumes of black smoke and dust filled the air. The front of the modest house where his relatives lived was a pile of rubble. His 3-year-old nephew stood in the yard, sobbing. Behind him, four more children were sprawled across the pale earth, their lifeless frames soaked in blood.

Qudratullah ran toward them, he said. Then another blast struck.

His village, Mandatah, was one of four in eastern Afghanistan hit this month by Pakistani airstrikes, Afghan officials said, killing at least 45 people, including 20 children.

Among them were 27 of Qudratullah’s relatives — an almost incomprehensible loss.

Qudratullah, 18, who like many in Afghanistan goes by only one name, lost his 16-year-old wife, who was crushed beneath a pile of rubble in the second airstrike.

His older brother, who survived, lost all four of his daughters, all younger than 11.

“I’m devastated,” Qudratullah said. “I lost my wife, my relatives, our home, our vehicles, our animals, everything.”

The pre-dawn airstrikes in Khost and Kunar provinces two weeks ago marked a serious escalation of the cross-border conflict in this remote, wild and rocky stretch of Afghanistan and exacerbated tensions between the two countries that have navigated a delicate relationship since the Taliban seized power last year.

Pakistani officials have not confirmed or commented on the airstrikes.

The airstrikes, which Afghan officials said were carried out by Pakistani military aircraft, came several days after militants said to be operating from the area killed seven soldiers across the border in Pakistan.

In eastern Afghanistan, many feared the carnage of the recent airstrikes was the beginning of a violent new chapter of the

long-running conflict in the tribal lands that spill across the porous border. Reinforcing those concerns, Afghanistan’s acting minister of defense, Mullah Muhammad Yaqoob, warned in a speech Sunday the Taliban government would not tolerate any more “invasions” from neighboring countries on Afghan soil.

For more than a decade, Pakistani authorities have sought to stamp out the militants hostile to the Pakistani state in Afghanistan’s borderlands, sporadically hitting the area with artillery that has killed a handful of civilians each year.

After the Taliban toppled the Western-backed government in Afghanistan, many in Pakistan hoped the insurgents turned rulers would rein in the violence by the militants, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan or the Pakistani Taliban.

But in recent months, attacks by the group in Pakistan have surged: Since the Western-backed Afghan government collapsed in August, the Pakistani Taliban have carried out 82 attacks in Pakistan, more than double the number over the same period of the previous year, according to the Islamabad-based Pak Institute of Peace Studies. The attacks killed 133 people.

Those numbers are still relatively low compared with the height of the Pakistani Taliban’s insurgency around 2009, but the recent sharp increase in violence has fueled fears the group is gaining strength after having declined over the past decade, and has reinforced concerns Afghanistan under the new Taliban government could become a haven for militants.

The Islamic State group has carried out several attacks across the country, mainly against Afghanistan’s Shiite minorities, while the Pakistani Taliban have resurged in the east, analysts say.

Taliban officials have denied providing safe haven for militants, including the Pakistani Taliban, but the issue has become a flashpoint between Afghan and Pakistani authorities, who claim the militant group — which is responsible for some of the worst terrorist attacks in Pakistan’s history — has become emboldened under the new Taliban government and allowed to operate freely on Afghan soil.

South Korea could end ‘confusing’ age system

By Jin Yu Young New York Times

SEOUL, South Korea — When Lee Jae-hye goes to the United States, she is 30. When she’s back in South Korea, she is 32.

“It’s so confusing,” said Lee, a video producer in Seoul who frequently flies between the two countries.

That is because South Korea counts people’s ages three ways, often adding a year or two to the international standard. This can present situations ripe for confusion, since age determines roles in the social hierarchy and is important in legal milestones such as when one has the right to drink or vote. It undergirds mundane tasks like filling out official paperwork, and it is key to figuring out how to address elders.

But soon, nearly 52 million South Koreans may be shaving up to two years off their ages (if only on paper), if President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol keeps a campaign promise to scrap the nation’s unique system.

On April 11, Lee Yong-ho, an official with Yoon’s transition team, announced plans to proceed with the change. Yoon, who takes office in May, hopes to do so by making a change to South Korean civil code by the end of next year.

Lee said the shift would reduce confusion and make communication easier, domestically and internationally. It would also help eliminate “unnecessary social and economic costs,” he said.

The exact origins of the Korean age system are hard to trace, stemming from longheld beliefs, said Yoon In-jin, a professor specializing in urban sociology at Korea University.

“We can’t know or remember the origins of our Korean customs,” he said. “It’s just the way we have done things.”

Here’s how the three ways of counting age work.

Under the first, and most widely used, method — often simply called “Korean age” — people are considered a year old at birth, and they add a year to their age every Jan. 1. This applies even to an infant born on, say, Dec. 31, who would be considered 2 years old the very next day. In other words, the birth year, not the date of birth, determines someone’s age. This method is the one most commonly recognized in social situations.

The second is the one the rest of the world uses: starting the count from zero at birth and adding a year on every birthday.

Since 1962, that system has been used in South Korea for most legal and official purposes, such as for medical procedures.

The third, and least common, method is known as “year age.”

Like the international system, it starts from zero at birth, but it adds a year of age every Jan. 1 — so that a baby born on Dec. 31 would turn 1, not 2, the following day. This method applies to laws such as the Military Service Act — which sets the age of compulsory conscription — and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which decides when children begin school.

Such age-counting methods were previously used in other places with Confucianist traditions, such as China and Taiwan, but South Korea is the only nation that still recognizes them, according to Suh Chan S., a professor in the department of sociology at Chung-Ang University in Seoul.

Yoon Suk-yeol’s push to change the system has wide public backing. In a survey published in January by the polling company Hankook Research, 7 out of 10 adult respondents supported getting rid of the Korean age system.

MI’ILYA, Israel — In the middle of Eilia Arraf’s home, there are two large pits, each containing the ruins of a church archaeologists believe was built about 1,600 years ago.

Arraf found large sections of the church’s mosaic floors under his house in 2020, as he tried to convert his aunt’s bedroom and an olive oil storeroom into a new kitchen.

The kitchen project was quickly abandoned.

Instead, Arraf turned the central part of his house into an archaeological dig — and later, a minor tourist attraction.

“We did lose part of our house,” said Arraf, 69, a mustachioed electrical engineer.

“But what we have underneath us is something that money can’t buy.”

In practically any other village in Israel, Arraf’s decision to dig up his home would have been unheard of. But in Mi’ilya, a hilltop village of some 3,200 people, mostly Arab Christians, in northern Israel, he is part of an eccentric trend of privately funded archaeological excavations.

Since 2017, four families have begun the process of excavating 10 private homes, searching for Crusader and Byzantine ruins.

Hundreds more families in Mi’ilya have funded a villagewide project to restore part of its crumbling Crusader castle.

In the process, the villagers have discovered the largest-known winery from the Crusader era, a Crusader town wall, a Roman cistern and Iron Age cooking equipment — as well as the Byzantine church underneath Arraf’s home.

“It was a domino effect,” said Rabei Khamisy, an archaeologist from the village who is the driving force behind the project.

“In Mi’ilya, excavation became something like a tradition.”

For years, the villagers had known they

were living atop and among an array of archaeological treasure, but they had never got around to digging up much of it. Parts of the present-day village date from the 12th century, when Frankish Crusaders built a castle there, probably during the rule of Baldwin III, a Christian king of Jerusalem.

Many live in homes built among the ruins of the Crusader castle, which became the backdrop to the lives of generations of villagers. But it was never properly excavated or restored. The turning point came in early 2017, when part of the castle wall began to collapse, endangering passersby.

So began the first of several restoration

and excavation projects in Mi’ilya.

The villagers contributed roughly $60,000, and the Israel Antiquities Authority quickly supplied the relevant permits.

Several weeks later, the most dangerous stretch of the wall had been shored up.

The wall restoration project has given the villagers greater trust in the authorities — not least because Khamisy was the main intermediary between the village and the government.

“He’s a son of the village,” said Salma Assaf, a former accountant who owns several properties in and around the castle ruins. “He broke the wall between us and the antiquities authorities.”

City at risk with financial house in disarray

W

T

ransparency isn’t just a good talking point when running a political campaign, rather it is the foundation on which good government should be built. This is especially true when it involves taxpayer money.

Without it, the public trust is eroded, and unfortunately, when it comes to clearly explaining how and why public money is being spent, the Webber administration has lost the public’s trust, again and again and again. When I ran for mayor, this was the No. 1 priority for the thousands of voters across Santa Fe who supported my campaign, and we hoped Mayor Alan Webber would understand this.

When it comes to accounting for the way our city spends money, unfortunately, it isn’t only the public trust that is eroded. We also risk our ability to qualify for federal funding from agencies like the Department of Justice to support police officers, federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for affordable housing, and other much-needed federal money for social programs and drug rehabilitation.

Since 2018, the mayor has been talking about fixing issues identified in the McHard Audit Report, but when it comes to taking action, the mayor has become eerily silent on this important issue. It seems the mayor forgot about this, as evidenced by three late annual audits, with the city’s external auditor, exasperated, finally calling it quits. The city of Santa Fe’s financial situation is so bad that State Auditor Brian Colón has called it a “broken financial situation” requiring the state to come in and fix a “financial house in disarray.”

After speaking with the external auditor last year, it was clear to me the city was in trouble. I spoke up at a City Council meeting and along with Councilor Michael Garcia, we requested the exit audit but were quickly and routinely denied by the mayor, even though State Auditor Colón confirmed our right to have access to such an audit. As has become commonplace with this mayor, we had to get access to public information elsewhere, securing transparency for the public.

If the current administration wants to learn how to restore the public’s trust in its accounting of public money, it need look no further than former administrations right here in the city of Santa Fe. In the Sam Pick administration, I was part of the budget team with Finance Director David Sena and others. The Finance Department won several national awards year after year — awards that recognize innovative programs that exemplify outstanding financial management.

I have since been informed by city staff that these awards have literally been thrown in the garbage — an unfortunate metaphor for how this mayor values public transparency and successful accounting of taxpayer money. This mayor has so badly thrashed our public financing that it now is requiring direct oversight from the state. I guess those awards aren’t the only things he has thrown away — respect, accountability, public trust and our ability to secure federal funds and finance bonds also come to mind.

Kids in Santa Fe need more places to swim

S

anta Fe has but one truly recreational swimming pool, at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center, for thousands of kids. The pool is open only one hour a day, with maximum capacity reached an hour before opening. Recently, we arrived 45 minutes before opening time and were told it was sold out and we needed to arrive at least an hour or more before it opened. This fact alone demonstrates the community interest and the need for expanded hours in addition to investment in another public swimming pool. With all the planned development on the south side, I’ve not heard any mention of a pool. Could the Biden infrastructure money be used for this? A pool is infrastructure for the health and well-being of Santa Fe kids. The only options families have now are 1) to wait in line more than an hour for one hour of swim play or 2) drive an hour to Albuquerque, which has numerous public and well-established pools for kids. Santa Fe’s mayor and City Council must consider this in all deliberations regarding how to best build infrastructure in Santa Fe. With summer coming up, it is doubtful that remodeled Bicentennial Pool will meet the need, so this is not a solution. It is a Band-Aid, at best.

Just the worst I have to congratulate the Alan Webber administration. It’s no small feat to be what I believe is the worst administration in the history of Santa Fe. In over 400 years, Santa Fe has seen three national governments, statehood, world wars and a burgeoning meth industry in our parks. But within all this history, when has the state taken control of Santa Fe’s finances? Therefore, I have to congratulate the Webber administration for becoming the best at being the worst. I could laugh along with those who find the city of Santa Fe joke funny, but I remain in awe of the historically worst administration doing its thing. I marvel at the expertise and the way the Webber administration runs our city as a top-notch demonstration of being bad at local government. Congratulations, Mayor Webber!

A sad sign of spring Spring in Santa Fe means leaf blowers: They are everywhere, even in the Santa Fe Forest, where hikes are disrupted by the screaming machines, as well as in yards and backyards, where neighbors are deprived of peace and quiet. There are noise ordinances here, although as far as I know, they are never enforced.

Instead, this infernal racket, which flies in the face of common sense since all that debris swept to the side of roads or paths will be swept back again when the winds return tomorrow. What ever happened to brooms and rakes? And do the men operating the leaf blowers mind that they are exposed to ear-shattering noise and noxious fumes?

The right’s wrongs For the right, the essential thing is to keep people ignorant enough so they will keep cutting their own throats by supporting Republicans, the party of bigots and billionaires. Therefore, it made sense for the Republican Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, and the Republican Florida legislature to ban classroom discussion of gender and sexual issues, the “Don’t Say Gay” law. When Disney World objected to this censorship, the Florida rightists revoked some of Disney’s basic privileges. Those include much of its self-rule privileges, such as its Reedy Creek special status, which will cut Disney’s control over buildings and services around its property. It’s impressive how, over so many centuries, the right has been consistent in opposing knowledge and awareness. In a way, you can’t blame rightists. Widespread knowledge and awareness would doom them — and raise their taxes.

Safe and sane We support a fireworks ban for the city and county of Santa Fe, especially after all the horrific fires we have seen in the last couple of weeks.

We came from a state where fireworks have been restricted and have adjusted how we celebrate our nation’s birthday. Poppers and a piñata filled with treats and surprises are loved by the kids. Decorations and dessert in red, white and blue set the stage. A patriotic quiz with both easy and difficult questions incorporating New Mexico reminds us all why we are celebrating.

Who doesn’t know the state with the oldest state capital?

Divide your gathering into groups, mixing up young with those more mature. Give out silly prizes. Most of all, have fun! Finally, we all can survive a ban on fireworks, but not necessarily a wildfire started by fireworks. Let’s celebrate this Fourth of July safely and sanely.

St. Vincent. Through a contractual arrangement with New Mexico Cancer Care Associates, the group’s four fulltime physicians are providing some of the medical oncology services at our Cancer Center.

After many years of working together, this is now an unrecoverable relationship. However, our commitment to cancer care is unwavering.

Regardless of how the contractual dispute resolves, all related services will continue to be in full operation.

These services include medical oncology, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, infusion, lab, pharmacy, palliative care, holistic health and wellness, patient navigation, social work and nutritional support, and more.

And, as has been our practice, we will continue to communicate directly to our cancer patients and referring providers. This will include updates as new providers come on board through the summer.

In 2020, we initiated a new longterm plan for our cancer program.

The plan creates a path for success to ensure a fully integrated and expanded system of cancer care so no individual has to leave our community to seek treatment and care. As part of this plan, Please see story on Page B-4

fter many years of debate, the Bureau of Land Management is seeking comments on a proposed 10-mile buffer zone to protect the Chaco Culture National Historical Park from oil and gas development.

The comment deadline recently was extended to May 6.

Unfortunately, the 10-mile limit has no basis in fact, but is merely based on emotion and innuendo. Leading the charge against oil and gas drilling is the San Juan Citizens Alliance, the Four Corner’s own Green Peace. Here is a response to the concerns raised by the alliance and others in opposition to development.

Protecting cultural resources: There is a perception that if a company has a lease from the BLM, it can drill wherever it wants, with little regard for archeological sites. That is false. Prior to any surface disturbance, an oil company must commission an archeological survey to identify sites. Even a single pottery shard can cause the relocation of an entire well pad. In short, the risk of desecrating a significant site is practically nonexistent.

Protecting sacred lands: The alliance website claims that over twodozen tribes (most located nowhere near Chaco Canyon) hold the region as sacred. As a result, they want to protect the area from the impact of modern human development, preserving it for “the old way.” However, the area already has modern homes with electricity and water wells, and the residents drive their cars to town and back, all of which takes energy. Thus, the “old way” and the “modern way” already live in

hile it is historic that Interior Secretary Deb Haaland plans to protect an area around Chaco Culture National Historical Park from oil and gas drilling, I continue to be disappointed by the managing federal agencies’ reluctance to consult with community members in the process.

After President Joe Biden and Secretary Haaland announced plans for a 20-year moratorium on new drilling and leasing of federal lands within a 10-mile radius of Chaco Culture National Historical Park, the Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Indian Affairs held three public meetings to gather public input on the mineral withdrawal and yet-to-be-defined “Honoring Chaco” initiative. Two of these public meetings were held in Farmington and the other online.

Unfortunately, the public meetings failed to uphold principles of engagement and were far from any semblance of tribal collaboration and consultation.

Public comment was not allowed, and agency officials simply held a question-and-answer session. To add insult to injury, when members of the public provided questions that included historically significant information about the cultural relevance and importance of the greater Chaco landscape, they were rebuffed and asked to limit the length of their “questions.”

Tribes, community members and stakeholders have long articulated their concerns about drilling impacts in the Greater Chaco region from degraded air and water quality, desecration of cultural resources, unsafe road conditions, unregulated activities by oil and gas operators, increased illness from pollution, and more. Oil and gas extraction causes harm to our communities, the climate and is a source of political instability around the world. The only solution to offset these impacts is to transition off fossil fuels and invest in clean, renewable energy. A temporary prevention of new leasing and drilling near Chaco is a good first approach, but meaningful protections must go further to mitigate the harms of decades of mineral extraction.

New Mexico: Let other states have the extremes

N

ew Mexico has its problems. It’s a favorite pastime of residents to point them out, endlessly, moaning about how as a state we are at the top of the bad lists and the bottom of the good ones.

In recent months, though, despite our very real challenges, all New Mexicans should take pride in this: Compared to states around us, we are not extremists. And that normalcy could pay dividends to a state always seeking to improve.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently decided to search all trucks at the southern border with Mexico, causing chaos and disruption.

Texas has suffered $4 billion in economic damage, according to researchers.

He did so even with the knowledge Mexico is the largest trading partner for Texas, with more than $400 billion worth of goods crossing annually. Exports from Texas make up some 17 percent of the state’s economy, with a third of those going to Mexico.

The inspections over eight days in April

did not turn up drugs or contraband, but did lead to rotting produce and an increase in prices.

Abbott started the inspections in response to the Biden administration’s announcement that it is lifting Title 42 — a Trump pandemic-era health order that federal immigration officials used to expel migrants, even asylum-seekers, at the U.S.-Mexico border.

But actions have consequences: Just last week, Mexican Economy Minister Tatiana Clouthier said a planned rail and ports expansion — the T-MEC Corridor — to connect the Pacific port of Mazatlán to the Canadian city of Winnipeg would not use Texas. Instead, the rail line would be routed through New Mexico.

Such projects take years to complete, but this should be a reminder to business and political leaders that we offer an alternative to states of extremism.

That’s true when it comes to personal choices as well.

Abortion laws in Texas — in anticipation

of the Supreme Court striking down Roe v.

Wade — are among the most restrictive in the nation, banning the procedure after six weeks.

Worse, they deputize citizens with enforcement, offering $10,000 rewards for successful lawsuits against a person who “aids or abets” a woman receiving an abortion after fetal cardiac activity can be detected. Vigilante justice is unpredictable and dangerous.

Oklahoma has followed the example of Texas, also banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Because it will take effect as soon as it is signed, the legislation will cut off most abortion access in the state that had absorbed nearly half of all Texas patients traveling out of state for abortions.

It’s likely those Texans will end up in New Mexico, along with people from Oklahoma.

That’s possible because New Mexico lawmakers made the decision in 2021 to strike a law from the books that essentially would have banned abortion if Roe v. Wade were thrown out.

With the Supreme Court expected to toss Roe v. Wade in May, or at least limit abortion access even more, New Mexico’s move to remove an antiquated law from the books seems prescient.

All around us, states are banning books, seeking to censor teachers, attacking gay and transgender young people, and otherwise seeking to use the power of government to cause pain. Some of those teachers, we believe, will move to New Mexico to share their knowledge free of government interference. Families with gay and transgender children also might seek a more welcoming home; they will find it here.

In New Mexico, people go about their lives, unafraid that a neighbor will turn them in for seeking medical care or because their child is transgender. Trucks from Mexico can cross the border without untoward delays — and as a result, our state could be the location of a rail line that will bring with it jobs and opportunity.

Normal — it sure as heck beats extremism.

has his own religious sycophants and enablers. Putin enjoys the full support of Patriarch Kirill and the hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church. Here in the United States, the religious right effectively elected and reelected Bush, and evangelical leaders vocally celebrated the invasion of Iraq.

(When I was writing Thy Kingdom Come in 2005, I contacted eight religious right organizations for their positions on torture. Only two replied, and neither condemned the Bush administration’s use of torture. The president of one organization worried the “anti-torture campaign seems to be aimed exclusively at the Bush administration,” thereby creating what he characterized as a public relations challenge.)

Sadly, the United States’ prosecution of the war in Iraq in 2003 compromises our moral authority in condemning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine two decades later. Putin has every right to point his finger back at us and say, “Hey, you did it too.” The invasion of Iraq not only mired the nation in a protracted, unwinnable struggle, one that failed to meet just war criteria, it also ceded the moral high ground.

The Biden administration is right to condemn Putin’s heinous behavior and stand with the people of Ukraine as they fight what Zelenskyy calls “the forces of evil.” American denunciations, however, would carry more authority if the United States came to the matter with clean hands.

“Today, we still believe in the new victory of Ukraine, and we are all convinced that we will not be destroyed by any horde or wickedness,” Zelenskyy, who was born to Jewish parents, said at Kyiv’s St. Sophia Cathedral. “We are overcoming dark times,” he continued, “but we are fighting for a luminous idea. On our side there is the truth, the people, the Lord and the higher heavenly radiance.”

Action on Not easy running small business in an expensive town climate R change essential for health

F

ire season is upon us in New Mexico, with 10 active wildfires at the time of writing. The season is here early, and the fires are more severe than usual, burning more acres in a few weeks than entire fire seasons of past years.

The damage these fires cause is not limited to their boundaries, however, as wildfire smoke has been shown to be immensely harmful to human health. People with chronic lung diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have more life-threatening flares and hospitalizations when exposed to wildfire smoke.

Even those without lung disease can have decreased lung function when inhaling smoke.

Health impacts of smoke inhalation also go beyond breathing difficulties: Studies have shown an association between wildfire smoke and heart disease, mental health effects and low birth weight of babies born to mothers exposed to smoke. Children, older individuals, people of color and those with existing medical conditions are most vulnerable to these health effects.

Wildfires have been getting larger, more destructive and more frequent — in part driven by human-caused climate change and drought. As physicians, we recommend mitigation measures like staying indoors during wildfires and wearing tight-fitting KN95 or N95 masks when going outdoors to filter out harmful smoke.

unning a small business in the city of Santa Fe has become harder and harder. That’s true before, during and after COVID-19.

Not only are prices on goods and the cost of doing business increasing, the shortage of professional employees is limiting the amount of work to be done and the growth of businesses. One aspect of the decline of available prospects is the horrendous cost of living in Santa Fe. That’s mostly because of the cost of housing.

For young graduates who just finished their degree, it’s impossible to find an apartment for less then $1,000 a month,

plus first and last month’s rent and damage deposit. Professional adults who have a family have to pay around $2,500 a month for renting a house. Again, that’s with first, last and damage deposit.

Or they can start looking on the small affordable housing market, which is basically nonexistent.

And then there is the question of what is affordable these days? Look up average annual income in the Santa Fe area to get a reality check. A full-time job at living wage income ($16 an hour) is about $33,280 annually. Paying an entry-level employee $22 an hour brings this number up to $45,760 annually.

PNM uses spin to cover up its incompetence P

ublic Service Company of New Mexico is masterful at using fear, manipulation and spin to advance its corporate interests.

When I heard some legislators parroting the company lines, “Unless we keep the San Juan coal plant running this summer, the lights will go out, the fridges will melt!” in legislative committees earlier this year, it begged the question: Are the brownouts and blackouts threatened by PNM truly unavoidable without the San Juan coal plant extension PNM proposes? Or is this a scare tactic to move some other agenda?

News outlets and opinion pieces, an emergency declaration by the attorney general, all echoed PNM’s story — raising alarm bells about potential shortages this summer. They also laid blame for the impending catastrophe at the feet of the Public Regulation Commission. Like most stories PNM seeds, the claims deserved greater scrutiny.

Our job at New Energy Economy is to dig beyond the surface and expose what’s really going on. I found it alarming, though not surprising, when I looked at PNM’s investor presentation and discovered that while PNM was telling New Mexicans we might be facing power shortages this summer, PNM’s CEO said to investors, “I can assure you that we do have the resources covered for the summer time.” Why would PNM tell the PRC, legislators and the public one thing while its CEO tells investors the exact opposite? Which is the truth and which is the lie? Something that is important for people to know is that investor-owned utilities are under a legal obligation to disclose financial and business risks to their shareholders or face criminal penalties. Unfortunately, there is no such mechanism to hold them accountable for what they say to decision-makers, ratepayers or the public.

So what’s the backstory on San Juan? Five years ago, in 2017, PNM finally acknowledged that the San Juan Generating Station was uneconomic and proposed to close it in 2022. Though the company solicited replacement power bids right away, it failed to submit a proposal to replace San Juan’s energy in a timely or compliant manner. It sat on the bids for 18 months — allowing many of the proposals to grow stale (energy is one of the most rapidly evolving sectors of our economy) and then proposed a replacement portfolio with new PNM-owned gas plants

Wildfires have been getting larger, more destructive and more frequent — in part driven by human-caused climate change and drought.

But increasingly, the medical community is recognizing the threat the climate crisis poses to human health. The Lancet, a well-respected medical journal, describes “climate change as the greatest global health threat facing the world in the 21st century.” Last year, over 200 medical journals published a call for emergency action to address human-caused climate change.

We are at a critical moment to act. President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bill failed to pass Congress in December, and the window for passing climate legislation during budget reconciliation is rapidly closing.

The fact is, Americans want to see Congress take action immediately. We see it in the Earth Day protests in Washington, D.C., in youth-led movements like Sunrise Movement and in the brave actions of Indigenous Water Protectors. The people who are bearing the brunt of climate change-related effects are leading the charge. It is up to us to support them.

Call or write Sens. Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján and Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández and emphasize that we cannot afford to double down on fossil fuel production at this critical moment, nationwide or in New Mexico. You can also contact your state representatives (find them at openstates.org/find_ your_legislator).

New Mexico already has passed important climate legislation, like curbing methane production from oil and gas wells, but we can go further. The actions we take at this moment will decide the path we go down: one where New Mexicans have access to clean water and breathable air, or the opposite. Our health cannot wait.

Running an automotive and motorcycle business with my wife, we have struggled for the past 10 years to hire quality personnel. Right now, we have a great team on deck, but to keep up with the workload demand and needed revenue to cover expenses, we need two more technicians, an office manager, etc. And so do other small businesses nationwide.

Running a city is not an easy task; I can just imagine the daily struggles.

But don’t lose sight of what is going on outside City Hall and other government buildings. Treat the city like a constantly growing business and adapt. Treat the city like an old, established business and

despite the requirements in the Renewable Portfolio Standard included in the Energy Transition Act — wasting another year in litigation.

When a 100 percent solar, wind and storage alternative was finally approved, what actions did PNM take when “necessary right-of-way agreement and required transmission interconnection agreements” were not executed? Did PNM demand that a security bond be posted in 2020? In the face of these failures to deploy replacement power on time, has PNM made any effort to utilize demand-side reduction like efficiency measures and rooftop and community solar to reduce summer peak load?

Have they explored short-term solutions like power purchase agreements from independent gas plants? The answer to all of these questions is no. PNM’s incompetence and mismanagement are the culprit for PNM’s inability to ensure electricity reliability, not the PRC. PNM managed to stampede the press, the attorney general and many legislators with the threat of brownouts, achieving a last-minute amendment to Senate Bill 14, the Clean Fuel Standards Act, that would have given PNM carte blanche to build or acquire any new generation without regulatory oversight. When that failed, it tried the same tactic with the PRC. In its recent “emergency” variance filing, PNM asked that the PRC grant PNM’s request immediately, without inquiry into costs, alternatives, whether it needs the relief it’s seeking and without any discovery.

The filing included no rate increase or decrease estimates and no environmental impact assessments.

What is the real reason for the PNM-led PR campaign against the PRC? Is it to secure expensive fossil fuels without oversight and exact short-term financial and political gain? To advance and lock in desired new PNM-owned gas energy resources? To ensure the state Supreme Court looks unfavorably upon the PRC as it reviews PNM appeals in the Avangrid/ PNM merger and Four Corners Power Plant cases? Xcel Energy in Colorado is meeting and exceeding 85 percent renewables by 2030, and there are no reliability or supply chain issues or associated scare tactics. There is no explanation for PNM’s failure other than incompetence and greed.

Our job is to care for safety of neighbors and constituents

A

s Northern New Mexicans, parents and public servants, we understand the struggles our families face — from homelessness and substance abuse to generational poverty and lack of access to safe and affordable health care. And as elected officials, it’s not our job to cast judgment, chastise or overstep the role of our positions. It is our job to take care of our neighbors and constituents.

These are Northern New Mexico values that ring especially true when taking care of our young people, and as elected officials, we’re here to provide support

and safety to our youth.

Here in New Mexico, we take care of our own. In a year where reproductive rights and access to safe and legal abortion could be taken away by the United States Supreme Court, it’s more important than ever to provide young people and their families with accurate medical information. While we know that over 80 percent of youth who become pregnant already talk to their parents about their pregnancies, some young people do not have access to trusted relationships with their parents and sometimes rely on trusted adults like grandmothers or aunts.

Government-forced parental notification for young people seeking abortion care is dangerous.

It not only decreases their access to safe and legal health care but also increases their potential to interface with fake abortion clinics that will take advantage of this proposed government overreach. We cannot, in good conscience, allow that to happen.

In New Mexico, love for our families runs deep, and we know it takes time, love and effort to build trusted relationships with the young people in our lives.

Laws can’t force that trust. We can only

build that together. For generations, Northern New Mexican families have allowed cariño to pave the way to safe health care in our state, including access to a safe abortion.

As elected officials, we stand by women and families as they make their own decisions about their bodies — including young people, who are looking to us for leadership at this critical time.

Boys do cry: Support healthy masculinities

R

ecently, my 14-year-old son and I were struggling over the use of his cellphone.

We were not communicating well. He began to cry. After a few moments of pressing him to tell me why he was so upset, he responded with, “Mom, just let me express my feelings! I am sad. I do not have to know why. I can just be sad.”

His comments stopped me in my tracks. As a leader of NewMexicoWomen.Org, the statewide women’s fund focused on gender justice and healing, I aspire to impart my children with intersectional feminist and anti-racist values at every opportunity. Given the extent to which patriarchy and white supremacy are baked into our institutions, social norms and cultural narratives, this is a tall order.

When it comes to raising boys (and, in my case, a white boy), protecting their emotional health in a culture of ubiquitous toxic masculinity, while simultaneously educating them about their privilege, requires a parting of the waters. From “manning up” to “boys don’t cry,” damaging messages of masculinity abound.

This kind of conditioning hurts men and boys.

It also underpins much of the gender-based violence and harm experienced by women and girls, as well as transgender and gender nonconforming folks.

Best care

Violence perpetrated by men remains at epidemic rates, with 1 in 3 women experiencing some form of intimate partner, sexual or physical violence. These rates are higher for women of color, Indigenous and transgender folks.

Conditioned to remain in the proverbial “Man Box,” men and boys are taught to repress their emotions and discouraged from crying.

We know there are many health benefits to crying. Having to deny this natural and healthy form of human expression puts them at higher risk for issues such as heart disease and suicide.

In New Mexico, which had the highest national suicide rate in 2018, three-quarters of those who committed suicide were male. Unhealthy or toxic masculinity harms us all and is a root cause of violence on a larger scale, from devastating wars to school shootings and police brutality.

Needless to say, we have a crisis of masculinity. As part of the New Mexico Healthy Masculinities Collaborative, a statewide effort focusing on these issues, we have recently launched the New Mexico Healthy Masculinities Toolkit.

This free resource is designed to educate people about masculinities through a variety of activities that promote self-awareness, healthy relationships and thriving communities.

As a women’s fund, investing in healthy mas-

culinity, while keeping women and girls at the center of our work, is a critical strategy toward gender equity. As Lee Roper-Batker, former CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota and current board member of A Call to Men, reminds us, “We cannot create the world we want to live in if we are indicting men instead of inviting them to be part of the solution.”

The toolkit is meant to help everyone learn about and unpack healthy and unhealthy masculinities. The world we are creating is one where all self-identified boys who are learning what it means to be an adult, my son included, are validated for their feelings and applauded for expressing them. A world where all men and boys can cry openly, be vulnerable and nurturing, and where connection, emotional awareness and compassion replace harmful and toxic patterns of masculinity for generations to come.

Christus St. Vincent plans to break ground in winter 2022 for a new 76,000-square-foot cancer center that will enable even more patients to get the best possible care close to home with the comfort and support of having their families nearby.

New services and treatments will add to an already comprehensive suite of care that includes the ability to reach a physician anytime, day or night, a robust research and clinical trials program, and free access to second opinion consults with Mayo Clinic as part of Christus St. Vincent’s membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network.

Our patients are and will always be first. They are the heart of our mission, the focus of our days and the reason for every effort made to advance, improve and grow access to care in Northern New Mexico. Our continuing “Journey to Always” is the commitment our 2,300 associates make to ourselves and to our community — that the best care available will always be the care you receive right here in Santa Fe. Lillian Montoya is president and CEO of Christus St. Vincent.

Disarray Continued from Page B-1

While there is no doubt the mayor deserves enormous blame, so, too, do the city councilors and city staff who enable the repeated degradation of the public’s trust.

The mayor has handpicked his preferred city councilors, and they have failed to do the job.

Where does this end? Unless the mayor and City Council get our financial house in order, we risk far more than the millions of dollars left unaccounted for. We could be left with a city in disarray, not just for the rest of this mayor’s time at the helm, but for a catastrophic future of our city.

s oil companies, executives and shareholders rake in profits, I’m tired of hearing oil and gas industry talking heads use Putin’s senseless war in Ukraine as an excuse to further their drilling agenda. The reality is these large multinational companies are thriving while hardworking New Mexicans are experiencing pain at the pump and our climate bears the burden of more drilling.

Gas prices are high while oil production in New Mexico is at record levels. Drilling more will not bring down the cost of gas, not when OPEC and global oligarchs control the oil markets. The only solution is to double down on a transition to clean energy and economic diversification for our state. As long as we depend on fossil fuels, we depend on the whims of a volatile and unpredictable international market that benefits big oil companies and dictators at the expense of New Mexicans.

In the midst of our worsening drought (actually, “aridification” seems to be the new reality) and as some of our local leaders take modest steps to diversify away from oil and gas, we need to maintain and strengthen safeguards to protect our clean air and water as long as the Permian oil rigs still gush. Industry efforts to weaken clean energy policies and to seek exemptions from environmental safeguards are just distractions

Drilling more will not bring down the cost of gas, not when OPEC and global oligarchs control the oil markets.

line are driven by global commodity markets. It’s enough to make your head spin. We as a state need to reject the tired “drill baby drill” arguments of the past and prioritize stable, clean and renewable energy development for our future.

Fortunately, there are forward-thinking communities in New Mexico making this happen. Take the Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, for example, which recently announced many homeowners and businesses in Taos County will see a 20 percent to 25 percent reduction while their stock prices surge.

Here’s a reality check: The oil and in their electricity bills thanks to gas industry has everything it needs investments in solar energy infrato produce more oil right now — like structure. The oil and gas industry thousands of permits just sitting idle loves to vilify solar, but the reality is that renewable energy is becoming and stockpiled. A recent survey by cheaper and more dependable the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas than the oil and gas roller coaster it found that 59 percent of oil executives pointed to investor pressure as would have us ride every year. the main reason they are restraining As Jim Peach, professor of production growth, while only 6 per- economics at New Mexico State cent of these executives pointed to University, has said, “Like it or not, “government regulations.” we’re at the tail end of the fossil On one hand, companies are fuel age.” Our state’s revenue, assuring investors they are “disciinvestment and economic develplined” and favoring shareholder opment strategies must transition dividends over investing in more away from oil and gas to a more production. At the same time, the sustainable, healthy and prosperdrill-more faction in New Mexico ous clean energy future. That will shamelessly attempts to blame gas improve the long-term health of prices on not-enough production New Mexicans’ pocketbooks and due to commonsense environmental our state budget while protecting and climate measures.

THE PAST 100 YEARS

SOUND OFF

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: May 1, 1922: The number of New Mexico troops on duty in the Gallup coal field has been cut down to probably 100 men, said Judge Reed Holloman of the district court who returned from the scene of the strike Sunday.

May 1, 1947: Lieut. Gov. Joseph M. Montoya, speaking in behalf of Governor Mabry, today promised support of the state government to Santa Fe’s clean-up campaign, and praised the project highly.

May 1, 1972: There are approximately 11,000 billboards and 350 junkyards in New Mexico which are in violation of the 1966 and 1971 State Highway Beautification Acts, L.G. Boles, State Highway engineer, said in a recent report.

May 1, 1997: Sitting shoulder to shoulder, about 30 people laughed and cried for themselves, their community and a woman who became a hero by walking out of the closet on prime-time television Wednesday night just after dark.

About 8:30 p.m. Ellen DeGeneres’ character announced in a special hourlong episode of the sitcom Ellen that she is gay, and Santa Fe residents gathered at Dana’s Afterdark to watch history in the making. With her announcement, DeGeneres becomes the first openly gay lead in a television comedy.

Chaco buffer not supported by science Continued from Page B-1

harmony in the area, and modern well sites will be no more intrusive than the existing homes and activity. You can’t enjoy the comforts of modern life without energy. You can’t have it both ways.

Protecting the air: The alliance claims emissions from oil operations are toxic and cause cancer and respiratory problems. If such implications were true, you would expect that with many thousands of wells, respiratory disease and cancer rates in San Juan County would exceed the national average. But according to the cancer.gov website, San Juan County is at 90 percent of the national average in cancer deaths per capita, and 65 percent of the national average in lung and bronchus deaths. Finally, Farmington was named by the World Health Organization as having some of the cleanest air in the country. The bottom line is that nobody living near a well site in the San Juan Basin (that would be most of us) is in danger from the emissions.

Protecting the water: There is a never-ending perception that fracking threatens water supplies. The Heartland Institute documented 21 independent studies that all determined that fracking does not directly impact groundwater. This conclusion is substantiated by a 2015 report published by the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency.

Protecting the Anasazi structures: Concern has been voiced about vibrations from the frack jobs possibly damaging the cliff dwellings. Again, that is an emotionally driven opinion without any basis in fact. A frack job measures in at approximately minus-2 on the Richter scale (cannot be felt at the surface), while a large truck rumbling by can measure up to a plus-3. The Chaco Canyon ruins are in far more danger from the cars and trucks coming and going than from fracking.

Local Natives oppose drilling: Much Indigenous support for a larger buffer zone come from tribes and or Native Americans who don’t live anywhere near Chaco Canyon.

Conversely, there are numerous Navajo allottees who “own” land inside the buffer zone and whose rights to develop that land would be harmed by this unnecessarily large setback requirement. These locals are opposed to any buffer zone that would hinder their right to lease their lands for responsible development. In addition, thousands of Native Americans who work in the energy industry in the Four Corners will benefit from future activity.

In summary, I agree with the desire to protect our cultural resources. However, the 10-mile buffer zone is overkill that will render worthless hundreds of thousands of acres of mineral rights in the area. Hopefully the regulators will focus on the facts and will ultimately reduce the buffer to a more reasonable area.

George Sharpe lives in Farmington.

Protecting Chaco is necessary and right Continued from Page B-1

Any initiative to truly honor Chaco must address the legacy impacts for which the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management are directly responsible.

These include orphaned and abandoned wells that leak methane; produced water and oil spills that contaminate the soil and aquifers; the desecration of sacred sites; and compounding public health impacts. Communities, the environment, land, air and water have suffered enough.

This is why the agencies must extend protections from new oil and gas development beyond a 10-mile radius throughout the greater Chaco landscape, which cannot be defined by lines on a map. To truly understand, the greater Chaco region is a living and ancient cultural landscape that encompasses over 75,000 acres across four states in the Southwest with over 200 known Chacoan outliers that are sacred to Indigenous people.

The Biden administration made a commitment to strengthen tribal consultation and collaboration, prioritize environmental justice in its climate policies, and reduce pollution to combat the climate crisis. The time is now for the administration’s actions to meet its rhetoric and cease from continuing to lease more lands for drilling in the greater Chaco landscape. The pause in fracking and extension of the comment period on mineral withdrawals through May 6 are important steps.

To truly “honor Chaco,” the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Indian Affairs need to hear directly from communities impacted by oil and gas development. Holding meetings in Farmington and online when many don’t have internet connections further marginalizes those most impacted by federal agency decisions. Before any decision is made, meaningful engagement with tribes and impacted communities is central to ensuring permanent landscape-level protections are in place throughout the broader greater Chaco landscape so the legacy of this place is preserved for generations.

Rabbit Road realignment work set for summer Project aims to make I-25 frontage road able to handle more traffic due to expected growth

By Robert Nott rnott@sfnewmexican.com

A construction project that will realign Rabbit Road to become the Interstate 25 frontage road between Richards Avenue and St. Francis Drive could start as soon as July.

The Northeast and Southeast Connectors Roads Project, in the planning stages for years, is both an effort to accommodate increasing traffic flow in the area and prepare for projected population growth in what is known as the Santa Fe Community College District.

The nearly four-mile project, which will cost about $15.2 million in state and county funds, will include bike lanes, multiuse trails, four to six roundabouts, a new drainage structure, lighting at intersections and broadband expansion, county officials said during a virtual hearing on the project last week.

“The project is the county’s proactive strategy to alleviate the anticipated population growth in the area by providing alternative travel choices intended to alleviate congestion on Richards Avenue,” Gary Giron, director of public

works for Santa Fe County, said in an interview.

The project comes as county officials continue to adapt to growth in the southern part of the city. According to a 2017 infrastructure buildout report prepared for the county, the Santa Fe Community College District had a population of 6,276 people in 2015.

That report says the population will grow to over 13,000 by 2040, an increase of over 50 percent.

New housing and apartment units are expected to pop up in the area as well. Giron wrote in an email the new

residents will require “almost 3,800 additional housing units.”

As it is, a new county plan calls for an additional 670 dwelling units in the Oshara Village area, and more parcels of land are expected to be opened to development once the connector road is complete.

Marcia Kaplan, president of the board of the Rancho Viejo South Community Association, said while the connector roads will relieve traffic for the Oshara Village and Santa Fe Community College area, they will not do enough to alleviate future traffic flows once those new developments are built.

A two-lane connector road, she said, “is not good planning for a fairly dense

suburban level residential development.”

Kaplan said she thinks county officials are “glossing over some things to make it look like this is a total solution to all traffic concerns.”

Rancho Viejo resident Lynne Newell said she has similar concerns. While she likes the plan’s inclusion of biking and walking trails “with all the development that is going to be done in this area, I’m just concerned that this plan is not enough” to handle future vehicular traffic loads.

The plan calls for the northeast connector segment of the project to Please see story on Page C-4

Milagro Middle School principal plans to retire

GETTING READY FOR A LONG RIDE

Superintendent credits Korting with district’s community schools framework

By Jessica Pollard

jpollard@sfnewmexican.com

Milagro Middle School Principal Brenda Korting announced recently she’s retiring at the end of the year after 25 years with Santa Fe Public Schools.

The district has not yet named a replacement.

Milagro Middle School, which serves students in grades seven and eight, opened in 2017 in the old Capshaw Middle School building on Llano Street after the now-defunct Capshaw and DeVargas middle schools closed and merged. It moved to a brand-new, $30.3 million facility at the DeVargas site on Llano Street in 2019.

Korting, who became principal in 2018, oversaw the middle school’s move into its new building.

“Principal Korting has contributed so much to student learning and will be extremely missed,” Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez said in a statement announcing her retirement.

Chavez credited Korting for launching the district’s community schools framework, which offers wraparound services for students and brings extra teacher training into schools. In May 2021, Milagro received a $50,000 planning grant for the state’s community schools initiative.

Chavez also applauded Korting for bringing computer science learning to the forefront and for boosting reading proficiency rates among Milagro’s seventh and eighth graders. The numbers rose by 16 percent this school year, the district announced in a recent news release.

Prior to serving as principal of Milagro, Korting was the principal of Nava Elementary School for seven years, where she advocated for full-day preschool on campus and added a behavior classroom for students. Before that, she was an assistant principal at Piñon Elementary School and taught at several other schools across the district.

In 2005, Korting received a Teachers Who Inspire award from the nonprofit Partners in Education for her work as an art teacher at Santa Fe High School.

12-year sentence in DWI death overturned Court of Appeals rejects classification used to send woman to prison The New Mexican

The New Mexico Court of Appeals on Friday overturned a 12-year sentence for a Santa Fe woman who pleaded guilty in 2019 to a count of vehicular homicide in a 2016 rollover crash near Nambé that left two people dead.

The appeals court found the state’s First Judicial District Court had erred in classifying the charge as a serious violent offense and handing a sentence to Yvonne Martinez, 53, based on the classification. Under state law, the appeals court ruled, vehicular homicide is not defined as a serious violent offense.

Martinez’s case was sent back to District Court to correct her sentencing.

Martinez, who has a history of drunken-driving convictions, agreed to a plea deal in February 2019 in the death of Madeline

DWI charge.

Romero and Trujillo were passengers in a vehicle Martinez was driving on N.M. 503. Both

were ejected when she rolled the vehicle, authorities said. A third passenger was not seriously injured.

The plea deal came with an agreement for the 12-year sentence.

Blood drawn from Martinez about two hours after the crash found her blood-alcohol content was 0.2, more than two times the legal limit, according to court documents.

Martinez appealed the use of the blood test results in her case, contending the worker at Presbyterian Española Hospital who drew her blood was a TriCore phlebotomist.

Under state law, the appeal states, only a “physician, licensed professional or practical nurse or laboratory technician or technologist employed by a hospital” can administer a blood draw for a blood-alcohol test in a DWI case.

The appeals court upheld the District Court’s denial of Martinez’s motion to exclude the blood test results.

Public Regulation Commission Chairman Joseph Maestas has received a donation to his state auditor’s candidacy from a well-known player before the commission — Mariel Nanasi.

Nanasi, head of New Energy Economy of Santa Fe, is a frequent commenter, filer of legal briefs and interrogator of witnesses in cases before the commission. Maestas of Santa Fe is running to head the state Auditor’s Office. The five-member elected commission of the PRC will be disbanded at the end of the year and replaced by a three-member Joseph appointed board.

Maestas Nanasi’s contribution was for $250 and filed with Maestas’ campaign fund in December, the same month the commission rejected Public Service Company of New Mexico’s application to merge with two other companies as well as its plan to depart from the Four Corners Power Plant. Nanasi was pleased with both decisions, which have been appealed by PNM to the state Supreme Court.

Mariel She has participated in numerous Nanasi cases that are either active before the commission or on appeal, including issues involving San Juan Generating Station, Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Four Corners Power Plant and the proposed merger.

FUNERAL SERVICES & MEMORIALS VICTORIA CARRILLO

LAWRENCE DAVID “LARRY” TRUJILLO

Victoria Carrillo, 69 years old of Santa Fe, New Mexico passed away on January 11th, 2022 from covid, just 10 months after her husband Carlos Carrillo passed away. She was a devoted wife and mother and grandmother to her family. She had many friends, loved her church and had a strong faith in our Lord and never ceased to stop praying for all those in need.

Victoria was born in Truchas, New Mexico on April 14, 1952. Growing up her family moved back and forth from New Mexico to California. In Santa Fe, her mother opened an assisted living facility that her family also resided in. She grew up taking care of elderly patients beside her mother and other helpers of the facility. After her mother retired, less than a year later she passed away.

Victoria’s heart belong to Santa Fe so she moved back on her own where she met her husband Carlos. They were together 10 years before they got married.

Victoria was in health care managing St. Vincent’s Home Health and then going on to running 3 departments at the St. Vincent’s Hospital. When Victoria’s father became ill with Alzheimer’s (taking after her mother) Victoria stepped away to open her own assisted living facility to place her father in for health care. He passed just a few short months before the opening of Mi Casa Bonita Inc. Victoria successfully owned and operated Mi Casa Bonita for 28 years, specializing in end of life care, working with many health care providers and hospices in the community, providing many jobs to the people of Santa Fe. Both Victoria’s daughters grew up and worked in the facility, a third generation of caregivers and Carlos, a devoted husband by her side helping to run the facility day after day. Sadly it came to an end in 2019 when the facility was hit with covid and she lost all her patients including her older sister who she was caring for in the facility. Victoria decided to close the long standing business to be with her husband Carlos who was coming to the end of his battle with cancer. He died one month short of their 48th year anniversary.

Victoria is now with the Lord and her husband whom she couldn’t be without and family in heaven.

She is proceeded in death by her Parents, father Miguel Garcia, mother, Paulina Garcia, sister, Anita Archuleta, nephews, Ronnie Archuleta and David Archuleta, husband Carlos Carrillo.

She is survived by her daughters, Veronica Carrillo, Angel Carrillo, Son in Law, Joey Leyba, grandkids, Carlos Carrillo, Kayla Leyba, Chloe Leyba, Santana Leyba, nephews, Harold Archuleta, Andy Archuleta, Raymond Archuleta, Jonny Archuleta, Michael Archuleta and Timmy Archuleta. Sister in law, Jewel Carrillo, many, many nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to Amber care Hospice, Dr. Thron and Aaron. You have been so kind and gentle with my family. Rivera’s Family Funeral Home, Paul and Gloria thank you for your services.

Lawrence David “Larry” Trujillo was born to his father, Enrique Alejandro and Mother Carmen on March 25,, 1957 at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe, NM. He passed away peacefully on March 18, 2022 at his daughter, Felicia’s home in Espanola, NM and he is now in hands of our Lord.

He was preceded in death by his father, Enrique, his sister Catherine, his stepson Ike Trujillo and many relatives and Friends. He is survived by his only child Felicia Rodriguez and her husband Joseph. His exwife Patricia, grandchildren James, Joseph Jr., Trinity, Serenity, Jacob and Shadyn. His mother Carmen, brothers Phillip and Annie, Michael and Jane, nephews Angelo, Keith (fiancé Leighanne), Michael, niece Melanie (Daryl) and many other family members.

Larry spent the majority of his life in Santa Fe, but also spent a few years in Rio Rancho, Albuquerque and Espanola. He went to school in Santa Fe and graduated from Santa Fe high school in 1975. He then went on to the University of New Mexico and after receiving his B.A. in 1980 he immediately began working as the Chief Law Clerk for the 1st District Attorney’s Office under former DA, Eloy Martinez including the time when Martinez was handling the multiple cases stemming from the notorious New Mexico State Penitentiary prison riot. He worked for three District Attorneys and retired from an administrative position under then DA, Henry Valdez.

He was very proud of Felicia and adored her and cherished his grandchildren always sharing the many memories he had of time spent with them. Those whom knew Larry also knew his sense of humor very well, and as far as he was concerned everyone was his friend. Larry had the gift of commitment and loyalty with anyone who chose to accept it and to what he chose to do. Larry did not waste a day of life beginning on the first day he learned to crawl. It started with zero fear of any creature including animals and insects and he was constantly messing with things that most of us feared and would never get close to, but none ever did any harm to him. It continued with sports like baseball and football. Then student council in Junior High in 7th grade as a class representative and the treasurer of his 8th grade class. He also had an extreme passion for music of any kind and learned to play the saxophone well, and enjoyed doing parades and other functions with the SFHS marching band. This also led to something else so he started looking for a local band that might need a saxophone player and he hooked up with a group known as the “Cavaliers” and it brought him much joy to perform at many weddings and other functions in Santa Fe and the surrounding area. Later in life he taught himself to play the guitar and other musical instruments. He also loved to dance anywhere, anytime. He definitely was not a home body, and loved to be out and about at any function that was going on, winter, spring, summer or fall did not matter where it was. He was very active with many political campaigns over the years and always felt the need to be involved and pro-active regarding issues that concerned him. Those candidates whom he felt deserved his support had a very committed hard working campaign advocate who would go from door to door to make in person contact and many successful candidates benefited from his ability to connect with people.

He loved being outdoors and would pretty much try anything at least once, but was strong enough and intelligent enough to know what not to try twice. He truly honored his mother and father as we all should consistently checking in on them as well as cleaning up the yard since landscaping and gardening were a pleasure for him because he was outside. He always had a special place in his heart for children which many of his nephews and nieces fondly recall. The more than 25 years at the DA’s office exposed him to many things and as such came to be very protective and caring of all children so much so that whenever he heard stories about children being injured, abused or worse he would feel genuine hurt. It was one of the very few things that would bring about the emotion of anger which was opposing to his calm demeanor.

He still carried photos of many of the victims on his person and would share their tragic stories with people whom were willing to listen.

As Larry‘s health began to falter over the last year he would often mention friends, co-workers, relatives and past events and would ask us to reach out to some of them. We were able to make contact with two special friends, David Romero and Francisco Lopez. He was overjoyed when for old time sake Francisco took him to a local brewery just prior to his passing. He often would reach out to anyone who he happened to have a phone number for even if it was 2 or 4 a.m., just to check in and make sure they were ok. He very much wanted to be able to do as he used to, but was unable to.

To this great example of what it means to be a Son, Brother, Nephew, Cousin, Uncle, Father, Grandfather, and Friend may you Rest in Peace for eternity. God Bless you from your family. We Love You Dearly! You will be missed!

Cremation has taken place. A Rosary for Larry will be prayed on Thursday May 5, 2022 at St. Anne’s Church, 511 Alicia St., Santa Fe, NM at 9:00 a.m. with a Catholic Mass to follow at 10:00 a.m.

MARIAN PETCHESKY SILVER

Teruko Gutierrez April 24, 2022

Marian Petchesky Silver passed away in her home on Sunday October 24.

Born October 18, 1932 to Barnett and Pauline Petchesky, Marian was a Santa Fe native who supported and cherished her hometown. She met her husband Abe Silver Jr. while attending Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans and the two married a few short months after meeting. They instantly became partners in business and in life, while working to enrich the community. The two owned and managed The Guarantee on the Plaza, Santa Fe’s first women’s department store, until it closed in 1988. As a buyer for the store, Marian was solely responsible for making a number of women in Santa Fe feel stylish and beautiful. Their contributions for the city they loved didn’t stop there. Abe and Marian gave tirelessly to aide in the growth of Santa Fe Opera and the Santa Fe Museum Foundation, among many other institutions. Marian’s family was instrumental in establishing what is today Temple Beth Shalom. For their kindness and benefaction, the pair received many accolades, including the Santa Fe Living Treasures honor and the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.

Though she was never far from her husband’s side, Marian dabbled in many enterprises of her own.

She was the first woman on the board of NorWest bank and served on the Christus St. Vincent’s foundation and was an Auxiliarian for 50 years. She was the President of the Museum of New Mexico’s Women’s Board, co-chaired the Regents Circle of the Museums of New Mexico, and was asked to be on the coin commission for the state of New Mexico. She was also a Board member of the Friends of the Kennedy Center, was on the board of the Governor’s Mansion Foundation, and was an enthusiastic supporter of the National Dance Institute. She did all of this while raising three children — John, Margaret, and Carolyn — who grew up to share their parents’ love for Santa Fe and desire to make the world a better place.

A lover of bridge, travel, tennis, and tap dancing, Marian was a bright social butterfly that lit up every room she entered. Perpetually dressed to the nines and never without a smile, she made better the lives of the many who knew her. She will be remembered as a cornerstone of the community, a stylish socialite, an amazing mother, and the world’s best Granny.

Marian was preceded in death by Abe Silver Jr., Scott Jones, and John Silver. She is survived by Carolyn Silver and Margaret Silver Jones, her daughter-in-law Gloria Silver, her grandchildren Thomas Silver, Johanna Silver, Alyson Hendrix and her husband Max Hendrix.

Services will be held May 11, at 3:00 PM at Temple Beth Shalom in person preferably with a mask or by streaming at www.sftbs.org

November 12, 1931 ~ May 8. 2020 A Funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday, May 7, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at Santa Maria De La Paz. Reception to follow in the parish hall.

The Santa Fe Opera Board of Directors wishes to express their deep sympathy to the family and friends of Mrs. Marian P. Silver at her passing on April 24. A native of Santa Fe, Marian co-owned with her late husband The Guarantee, a distinctive apparel store located on the Plaza founded by her grandparents. Mr. Silver served on the Santa Fe Opera Board of Directors from 1960 to 1986, and as an Emeritus Director from 2004 to the time of his passing in 2015.

Mrs. and Mr. Silver were steadfast friends of the Santa Fe Opera, attending performances and supporting the season’s activities every year through 2021. Active civic leaders, the couple received the 2010 Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts and were awarded Philanthropists of the Year in 2013 by the Albuquerque Journal and the CHRISTUS St. Vincent Hospital Foundation.

Santa Fe Opera staff remember Marian as a genuinely happy person, always standing out in a crowd in her festive clothes with a cheerful smile. She would often recall fond memories of the original theater and could be seen running for cover during rainstorms and trying to keep her petticoat dry. Everyone adored Marian and her husband Abe and admired their joyful partnership. Marian will be deeply missed.

Korting’s retirement announcement follows news from El Camino Real Community School in January that Principal Jack Lain is stepping down at the end of the school year.

Also this year, Desert Sage Academy Principal Alice Braden left in February and was replaced by Michael Granado, who served as associate principal for the Class of 2022 at Santa Fe High School.

Both Maestas and Nanasi said there’s nothing wrong with her contribution to Maestas’ race for state auditor.

“She’s not a regulated entity,” Maestas said of Nanasi and her contribution. “I’m fine with it.”

He said he can’t and doesn’t communicate with parties involved in a case.

“Two-hundred fifty bucks. Really?” he said of the contribution, intimating it was too small to get worked up over.

“It’s lawful,” Nanasi said Thursday of her donation. The commissioners “don’t oversee me or NEE matters.”

Nanasi, a dogged researcher in utility cases, has called out others for conflicts of interest. She unearthed the fact that Iberdrola of Spain, one of the companies that hopes to merge with PNM, hired Albuquerque attorney Marcus Rael, a friend of Attorney General Hector Balderas, for $400 an hour last year to help make its case for merger.

Patrick Lyons, a commissioner at the time, had dined with PNM executives and attended a baseball game with a company executive at Texas Rangers’ stadium.

She argued Lyons should recuse himself from hearing PNM’s application to abandon coal-fired units at San Juan Generating Station.

Nanasi said at the time that commissioners must keep PNM executives at a distance because they regulate PNM. “PNM and some of our state utility regulators have completely corrupted that public faith,” Nanasi said at the time.

She said Thursday there was no comparison between executives of a regulated utility fraternizing with a commissioner and her contribution to Maestas.

She said she would reap no personal benefit from the contribution, adding it’s for the auditor’s race.

“This isn’t for the PRC, so it has nothing to do with it,” Nanasi said.

Nanasi said PNM has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on PRC candidates and her contribution is “like pennies” in comparison.

She also said of the check: “I think it was written by my husband. We have a joint account.”

Tom’s passions led him to pursue documenting stories of the people and history of New Mexico: During his 84 years on Earth he created a memorable archive on artists, writers, educators and scientists many of whom resided here in New Mexico. Much of this work was for the Museum of New Mexico where Tom was employed for 35 years and where he established the museum’s first video department.

ROSE MARIE “RO” BEATY OCTOBER 10, 1933 – JULY 4, 2021 Our beloved Rose Marie “Ro” Beaty passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 4, 2021, in Palm Springs, CA with her devoted friend, Lonnie Ryan, by her side. The loving daughter of Benjamin and Helen ApodacaMartinez, Ro was born and raised in Santa Fe, NM and was a student at Loretto Catholic Academy, Santa Fe High, and ultimately graduating from New Mexico State University.

Coming from generations of a creative New Mexican family, Ro’s great grandfather, José María Apodaca, was considered to be the finest and most accomplished of all known historic New Mexico tinsmiths (or “hojalatero” as he was known), with his works featured in museums internationally.

Ro was a highly intellectual and elegant woman who went on to have a very successful professional career as the personal assistant to two influential US Senators: Joseph M. Montoya (D) New Mexico (who also served as Lt. Governor) and Senator Russell B. Long (D) Louisiana. While working in Washington DC, Ro met her love of her life and devoted husband, Jack Beaty, whom she married in 1973.

Jack Beaty was a very successful businessman who served as New Mexico State Democratic Chairman. As such, he became close personal friends with the Kennedy family and served as the Western States Coordinator for Senator John F. Kennedy’s campaign for the Presidency. Jack was asked by President Kennedy to work within his administration, and ultimately, being asked to stay on with President Lyndon B. Johnson after the death of President Kennedy. The couple were an important part of a significant generation and community in Washington, DC. Ro and Jack were extremely philanthropic with a passion for education, which led them to establish the Jack and Rose Marie Beaty Education Scholarship Fund. They often opened their home to New Mexico students and family members who wanted to attend school in DC. They were both dedicated fur baby parents and had many loving years with Gus, Georgie, Lulu and Corkie.

Ro was the eldest of five siblings, Benjamin Martinez (Dolores), William Martinez (Alicia), and Bobbie Martinez; and is survived by her loving sister, Irene Quintana (Louie), and nine cherished nieces and nephews, with their respective families, all of whom dearly adored her and affectionately called her “Auntie Ro.” Rose Marie Beaty—a life lived with meaning, with style and Alegria de vivir.

TIANA LOUISE KEESING MEYERS January 21, 1975 - April 10, 2022 Tiana was born in Albuquerque and raised in Picuris Pueblo and Santa Fe. She was a beloved wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Always willing to help out and make us laugh. She was always up for a good time and loved to dance. She worked at various salons around Santa Fe as a receptionist and as a nail technician, which she was really passionate about. She always loved to spend time with her family, especially her niece/ goddaughter Isabella, who she had a special bond with. She was known for her bubbly personality, great sense of humor, and kind heart. Going out to eat and dance, reading various books, and watching TV and movies were some of her favorite things to do.

Tiana goes on to meet up with her father W. John Keesing, brother Chris, paternal grandparents Walter Keesing and Dorothy Keesing, maternal grandparents Vincent and Isabel Perez and grandmother in-law Teresia Mayenzet. Aunts Florence Trujillo and Arlene Martin, Uncle Michael Perez, Cousin Yvette Price and Godmother Jonette Sam.

A memorial service will be held at a later time.

Patrick Anthony Casey died in Santa Fe, New Mexico on April 5, 2022. Pat was born in Santa Fe on April 20, 1944 to Eutemia Casados Casey and Ivanhoe Casey. He was raised as an only child by his mother until his half-sister, Ernestine Martinez of Santa Barbara, CA found him and was to become one of his best friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his half-sister, Ernestine Martinez and her husband Dan, his sister-in-law Jennifer Johns, mother-in-law, Claire Johns, father-inlaw, Sonny Johns, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and personal friends close to his heart.

Pat is survived by his wife of 51 years, Gail, and their two sons, Christopher Gaelen Casey and Matthew Colin Casey, nephew Gabe Johns, his wife Lizette and son Bodhi, niece Susan Martinez and husband Rick, nephew David Martinez of Santa Barbara, CA and their children and grandchildren in Santa Barbara. He is also survived by his first cousins, Carlos Gallegos and wife Sophia, Adelita Abeyta, and other relatives.

Pat received his B.A. degree from New Mexico State University and his law degree from University of Arizona. He was proud to have passed two different state bar exams, Arizona and New Mexico, within three days of each other.

Pat refused two different offers of appointment to judgeships under then New Mexico Governor Jerry Apodaca. He felt he was better suited to private practice. His practice in Santa Fe concentrated on representing individuals who had been harmed or injured. It was not uncommon for him to go to court as a sole practitioner to face three or more attorneys on the other side. He was frequently stopped in public and told, “I know I should call and make an appointment, but I just have a very small tiny little question now.”

Pat proudly served in the Navy in South Vietnam. He was an advisor to the South Vietnamese Air Force and remained a member of different Veteran’s organizations until the time of his death.

He served as President of the First Judicial District Bar Association, New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association and also President of Western Trial Lawyers Association (twice). He was a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. In addition to his solo practice, he served on the Supreme Court’s Uniform Jury Instructions (UJI) Committee, Rules of Evidence Committee, Disciplinary Board and the Medical Legal Committee of the New Mexico State Bar. Pat enjoyed traveling to make numerous presentations throughout the years at seminars presented by the ATLA National College of Advocacy, Western Trial Lawyers Association and NMTLA. It was important to him to mentor others in the legal profession when asked. He also found time to serve on the Santa Fe Fiesta Council, the Boards of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Catholic Social Services.

Pat was a fierce advocate for his family, friends, clients, and anyone he thought was unfairly treated. He never met a stranger. He had an uncanny way of seeing people as they are and liking them anyway. His life was filled with laughter, crazy and sometimes silly jokes, and outrageous pranks. He was not above pulling a gag or two in the courtroom or with people he just met. He was proud of his Spanish heritage and loved his first language, Spanish, especially the “dichos” of Northern New Mexico. He loved the land, change of seasons, green chile, Mora and Cleveland, New Mexico, the history of New Mexico and its peoples, his Catholic faith and Tia Sophias.

A very special thank you to the many people who supported Pat and his family every day on his journey of over two years of hospital stays, assisted living residency, and hospice care.

At Pat’s request his remains were cremated and will be buried at the National Cemetery at a private family only ceremony.

A celebration of Pat’s life will be held on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 with a Rosary at 9:00 a.m. with a Memorial Mass to follow at 10:00 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi (St. Francis Cathedral), 131 Cathedral Place in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

If you wish to make a charitable donation in Pat’s memory, he would suggest the Wounded Warriors Project, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, Rock Steady Boxing Program, or just make an effort to make someone laugh today.

16 states sue to electrify Postal Service fleet New Mexico among those seeking to halt agency from purchasing thousands of new gas-powered trucks

By David Sharp Associated Press

New Mexico and 15 other states that want the U.S. Postal Service to electrify its mail delivery vehicles are suing to halt purchases of thousands of gas-powered trucks as the agency modernizes its delivery fleet.

Three lawsuits, filed by the states and environmental groups Thursday in New York and California, ask judges to order a more thorough environmental review before the Postal Service moves forward with the next-generation delivery vehicle program.

Plaintiffs contend purchases of fossil fuel-powered delivery vehicles will cause environmental harm for decades to come.

“Louis DeJoy’s gas-guzzling fleet guarantees decades of pollution with every postcard and package,” said Scott Hochberg, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, referring to the postmaster general.

Attorneys general from the 16 states — 14 of which have Democratic governors — sued in San Francisco. A separate lawsuit by the Center for Biological Diversity, Earthjustice, CleanAirNow KC and Sierra Club was filed in the same venue. Another was filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council and United Auto Workers in New York.

All of three of them target the environmental review underpinning the Postal Service’s planned purchase of up to 165,000 next-generation delivery

vehicles over the next decade.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said it’s key to stop the process before it’s too late.

“Once this purchase goes through, we’ll be stuck with more than 100,000 new gas-guzzling vehicles on neighborhood streets, serving homes across our state and across the country, for the next 30 years. There won’t be a reset button,” he said.

The Postal Service defended the process it followed under DeJoy, a wealthy former logistics executive and

Republican donor who was appointed by a board of governors controlled by then-President Donald Trump.

“The Postal Service conducted a robust and thorough review and fully complied with all of our obligations under [the National Environmental Policy Act],” spokesperson Kim Frum said Thursday in an email.

The Postal Service contract calls for 10 percent of the new vehicles to be electric but the Postal Service contends more electric vehicles can be purchased based on financial outlook and strategic

realign Dinosaur Trail to Rabbit Road and include a roundabout that will connect to the southeast connector segment.

That connector then proceeds southeast to intersect with the extension of Avenida del Sur. A third segment, the Avenida del Sur extension, will run from the southeast connector intersection to Richard Avenue.

Opinions were mixed among the people who spoke about the project during a question-and-answer session Wednesday. Even those who praised the idea asked whether an environmental impact study was conducted for the project (it was not) and questioned whether a two-lane connector road would really cut down on traffic flow.

Some worried about a buildup in traffic wait time, particularly during the project’s construction phase.

“There will be delays,” Ivan Trujillo, engineering services manager with the county’s public works department, said Friday in an interview. “There will be work that delays the traffic flow on Richards Avenue sometime during the construction.”

Trujillo said the county is seeking construction bids on the project, and the firm chosen to do the job will have to provide a “traffic handling plan” which needs county approval before the contractor is approved.

Trujillo said he estimates the connector project will employ at least 100 people and is expected to be competed in autumn 2023.

Todd Lovato, a spokesman for the Santa Fe Community College, said the college not only supports the plan but has built the project into its own facility and traffic plan.

“We’re looking forward to additional relief to areas that have had congestion and challenges because of the college traffic, specifically neighborhoods like Oshara Village,” he said.

Giron said $12.9 million for the project is coming from county funds and the remaining $2.3 million from the state. He said the county is continuing to apply for more state funding for the initiative.

But even as the county awaits more funding, Giron said he has “every expectation this project is going to be ready to go this summer.”

considerations.

The percentage of battery-electric vehicles was doubled — to 20 percent — in the initial $2.98 billion order for 50,000 vehicles.

Environmental advocates contend the Postal Service’s environmental review was inadequate and flawed, and that the contract represented a missed opportunity to electrify the fleet and reduce emissions.

The review process “was so rickety and riddled with error that it failed to meet the basic standards of the National

Environmental Policy Act,” said Adrian Martinez, senior attorney on Earthjustice’s Right to Zero campaign.

New York Attorney General Letitia James said the Postal Service used “fatally flawed decision-making” that led to an outcome that was “fiscally and environmentally irresponsible.” New York is among the plaintiffs.

The lawsuits could further delay the Postal Service’s efforts to replace the ubiquitous delivery trucks that went into service between 1987 and 1994.

If the parties can’t agree on a settlement, the lawsuit could drag on for months, possibly into next year, if there are appeals, said University of Richmond School of Law professor Carl Tobias.

The new gasoline-powered vehicles would get 14.7 miles per gallon without air conditioning, compared to 8.4 mpg for the older vehicles, the Postal Service said.

All told, the Postal Service’s fleet includes 190,000 local delivery vehicles.

More than 141,000 of those are the old models that lack safety features like air bags, anti-lock brakes and backup cameras.

The new vehicles are taller to make it easier for postal carriers to grab packages and parcels that make up a greater share of volume. They also have improved ergonomics and climate control.

The states that sued are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District in California, District of Columbia and city of New York joined that lawsuit, as well.

PHOENIX — Former Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel, who recently resigned amid controversy over her performance in office, died Saturday of unspecified health complications, her family announced.

She was 45.

Adel’s husband, David DeNitto, said in a statement released on behalf of the family it was “utterly heartbroken by this unimaginable loss.”

The family’s statement did not elaborate on the cause of death but said that relatives requested that the “the press and the public honor her, her legacy and our family by respecting our privacy at this difficult time.”

Adel, a Republican and the first woman elected as Maricopa County attorney, had been criticized over issues that included dismissal of 180 misdemeanor cases because charges were not filed before the statute of limitations expired.

She also faced scrutiny over whether an acknowledged alcohol abuse problem had affected her ability to do the job.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey called Adel’s death tragic.

“The hearts and prayers of Arizonans are with Allister’s family,

colleagues and close friends. May she rest In peace,” Ducey said on Twitter.

Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell, Adel’s interim successor, said Adel’s “many years of service to our community leaves a legacy that impacted crime victims, first responders, and animals, just to name a few.”

Adel was appointed to the office in October 2019 to fill a vacancy and she was elected to the office in November 2020.

She resigned in March, saying in a statement that winning the office had been an honor.

Adel underwent emergency surgery on election night in 2020 for a brain bleed. She was back on the job full-time by the following spring.

In August, she went into rehabilitation for alcohol abuse, an eating disorder and other issues. In September, she confirmed she was working remotely from an out-ofstate treatment facility.

Mitchell was among five criminal division chiefs in Adel’s office who in February called into question Adel’s ability to do her job, saying she rarely was in the office, showed signs of being inebriated during phone calls and had not provided leadership.

Widow frustrated by trial Exxon Mobil, Chevron delays in husband’s death report big jump in profits

By Will Hooper The Taos News

TAOS — Andrea Kyte, a Tres Piedras woman who found her husband, Michael Alan Kyte, shot to death on their property in 2017, says she is tired of waiting to see Damian Herrera, the man charged in the killing, brought to justice.

“I am weary and frustrated at the time — five years, so far — it has taken to bring this man to trial for the murder of my husband. Michael’s whole family is,” Andrea Kyte wrote in an email.

Herrera, 26, of Ojo Caliente was convicted and sentenced in four other deadly shootings in Northern New Mexico that occurred June 15, 2017, the same day Michael Kyte was found slain.

Earlier in the day, Herrera shot and killed his stepfather, brother and mother at the family’s home in La Madera, a rural community near Ojo Caliente.

Court records say authorities believe Herrera drove away from the scene and then encountered Kyte, who gave him a ride to his property, where Herrera shot him and stole his truck. After Kyte was killed, Herrera fled and killed another man, Manuel Serrano, at Bode’s General Store in Abiquiú.

Herrera faces four consecutive life sentences in the other deaths.

Driven by high fuel prices, firms to boost Permian Basin production

By Clifford Krauss New York Times

Exxon Mobil and Chevron, the largest U.S. oil companies, on Friday reported a second consecutive quarter of robust earnings as oil and natural gas prices continued to rise after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The companies said they were increasing their production in the Permian Basin, a giant shale oil field straddling Texas and New Mexico, but were not seeking to ramp up oil and natural gas production overall despite pressure from the Biden administration, which is seeking to tamp down high energy prices.

In the past, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and other energy companies invested heavily when prices were high, only to see losses when prices fell as the industry flooded the market with supply. Now, they are enjoying higher profits without significantly increasing their output.

“There is a lot of uncertainty,” Chevron CEO Michael Wirth said. “One of the lessons of history is that just as the bad times don’t last forever, neither do the times when prices are strong,” Exxon reported doubling quarterly earnings from a year ago, even after a write-down of $3.4 billion from abandoning its operations in Russia. Largely because of soaring oil prices, which rose in the quarter to well more than $100 a barrel from $76, the company made $5.5 billion in the first three months of the year — an increase of more than $6 billion from the same quarter in 2021. The company made an $8.9 billion profit in the last three months of 2021. Exxon, which is based in Texas, announced it would buy back more of its own shares, now aiming to spend $30 billion through 2023, up from $10 billion.

“The quarter illustrated the strength of our underlying business,” Exxon CEO Darren Woods said. “Earnings increased modestly, as strong margin improvement and underlying growth was offset by weather” and other factors.

Exxon reported that its oil and gas production

was 4 percent lower in the quarter from the previous three months because of bad weather, divestments and planned maintenance. Kathryn Mikells, Exxon’s chief financial officer, said the company was being cautious about the future given the dramatic drop in energy demand and oil prices during the pandemic. “We are going to be a little bit more conservative in the short term,” she said, despite the “positive momentum” the company was enjoying.

Exxon’s chemical business was particularly strong, with a profit of $2.1 billion, consistent with records set a year ago. Executives expressed optimism about exploration and production operations in Guyana and Brazil, and said that they could lower emissions from their operations.

But Exxon and Chevron reported weaker results in international refining, due partially to higher costs and lower profitability of refined products.

“This was a mixed quarter for Exxon Mobil,” said Faisal A. Hersi, an energy analyst at Edward Jones. He said the solid chemicals performance was offset by “weaker results in upstream exploration and production and international downstream refining and marketing.”

Chevron reported a $6.3 billion profit, up from $1.37 billion in the same quarter in 2021. Its revenues jumped to $54.37 billion from $32 billion last year. The company, which is based in California, pledged to continue increasing domestic production, although its total oil and gas production fell modestly. While domestic production increased by 10 percent in the quarter over last year, global oil and natural production declined by 8 percent.

Most of the declines were due to contract expirations, executives noted.

The company’s capital expenditures were 10 percent higher than last year, a reflection of industrywide caution about oil and gas prices.

Wirth said production in the Permian Basin had increased as the company hydraulically fractured previously drilled wells. Following plans put in place before the pandemic’s start in 2020, the company hopes to increase production in the Permian Basin by 10 percent this year and is on track to raise output to 1 million barrels a day by 2025 from 600,000 barrels a day this year.

“Information should be based on established medical fact and not an ever-changing social dialogue.”

Bergstrom added: “We must stand up and put a stop to this nonsense regarding biological sex. It’s not a complicated issue — biologically, you’re either a male or female.

There should be no other option to choose from on a birth certificate.”

The GOP-controlled Oklahoma House and Senate passed the bill Stitt asked for, but there was opposition, most notably from the nation’s first openly nonbinary state lawmaker, Oklahoma Democrat Rep. Mauree Turner, who said on Twitter it represented an “extreme and grotesque use of power.”

Polls suggest a deep partisan divide in the United States regarding efforts to advance the rights of transgender people. For example, a 2021 Pew Research Center survey found 59 percent of Democrats said a greater acceptance of transgender people is good for society, while 54 percent of Republicans said it was bad for society. According to a study

by UCLA’s Williams Institute, about 0.6 percent of adults and 0.7 percent of youth identify as transgender. According to another UCLA study, as many as 476,000 transgender adults do not have a driver’s license or other state identification that matches their gender identity. That represents about 34 percent of transgender people across the country.

“What the Oklahoma governor has done goes against the grain of every lawsuit and settlement in recent years that has said everyone has the right to an identity document that matches who they are,” said Shelly Skeen, senior attorney for Lambda Legal, an advocacy group that successfully challenged the State Department’s position on gender identity on passports and has sued Stitt and Oklahoma over his executive order.

Oklahoma Republicans, though, have argued that the changes reflect their understanding of science.

“The question before us is very simple.

Do we want the truth on a birth certificate, a legal document, representing a person’s biological sex, or do we want a lie?” Dills said in a statement, adding that “my truth is based on my faith and science.”

Biden order to boost mining may not have quick payoff

By Matthew Daly Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is turning to a Cold War-era law to boost production of lithium and other minerals used to power electric vehicles, but experts say the move by itself is unlikely to ensure the robust domestic mining Biden seeks as he promotes cleaner energy sources.

Biden’s action, part of his efforts to find alternatives to fossil fuels and combat climate change, does not waive or suspend existing environmental and labor standards, the White House said.

Nor does it address the chief hurdle

to increased domestic extraction of so-called critical minerals: the yearslong process needed to obtain a federal permit for a new mine.

Even so, the mining industry and supporters in Congress cheered Biden’s use of the 1950 Defense Production Act to increase U.S. supplies of lithium, nickel and other minerals needed for electric-vehicles batteries and other clean-energy technology.

His March 31 executive order is a historic step by the White House to “recognize the critical importance of minerals and push to electrify the car industry,” said Rich Nolan, president and CEO of the National Mining Association.

But “unless we continue to build on this action’’ and approve new hardrock mines, Nolan added, “we risk feeding the minerals dominance of geopolitical rivals’’ such as China and Russia.

“We have abundant mineral resources here,” he said. “What we need is policy to ensure we can produce them and build the secure, reliable supply chains we know we must have.”

Environmentalists, meanwhile, worry Biden is activating a war-time tool to boost mineral extraction that can contaminate groundwater and harm ranching and wildlife.

“The clean energy transition cannot be built on dirty mining,” said Lauren

Pagel, policy director of Earthworks, an environmental group that has pushed for restrictions on hardrock mining.

Biden’s order directs the Defense Department to consider at least five items — lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel and manganese — as essential to national security and authorizes steps to bolster domestic supplies. Biden and former President Donald Trump both used the defense production law to speed the U.S. response to the pandemic.

On minerals, Biden wants to ensure the U.S. has enough lithium and other materials needed for EV batteries, heat pumps and large-capacity batteries for the electric grid. A majority of global

lithium production comes from China, Australia, Argentina and Chile, while Russia dominates thel nickel market and the Democratic Republic of Congo is the world’s largest cobalt producer.

“We need to end our long-term reliance on China and other countries for inputs that will power the future,’’ Biden said, vowing to “use every tool I have to make that happen.’’

Although lithium reserves are distributed widely across the globe, the U.S. is home to just one active lithium mine, in Nevada. New and potential lithium mining and extracting projects are in various stages of development in Nevada, Maine, North Carolina and California.

California facing power blackouts Hydropower dams lack water for electricity as megadrought worsens

By David R. Baker, Mark Chediak and Naureen Malik Bloomberg News

SOUTHERN NEVADA WATER AUTHORITY VIA AP

The top of Lake Mead drinking water Intake No. 1 on Monday is above the surface level of the Colorado River reservoir behind Hoover Dam.

Sin City’s water intake at Lake Mead now above waterline Las Vegas, Nev., using pumps drilled at bottom of lake to fill its void Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A massive drought-starved reservoir on the Colorado River has become so depleted that Las Vegas now is pumping water from deeper within Lake Mead where other states downstream don’t have access.

The Southern Nevada Water Authority announced last week its Low Lake Level Pumping Station is operational, and released photos of the uppermost intake visible at 1,050 feet above sea level at the lake behind Hoover Dam. “While this emphasizes the seriousness of the drought conditions, we have been preparing for this for more than a decade,” said Bronson Mack, water authority spokesman. The low-level intake allows Las Vegas “to maintain access to its primary water supply in Lake Mead, even if water levels continue to decline due to ongoing drought and climate change conditions,” he said.

The move to begin using what had been seen as an in-casewe-need-it hedge against taps running dry comes as water managers in several states that rely on the Colorado River take new steps to conserve water amid what has become perpetual drought.

“We don’t have enough water supplies right now to meet normal demand. The water is not there,” Metropolitan Water District of Southern California spokesperson Rebecca Kimitch said last week. The agency told some 6 million people in sprawling Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties to cut outdoor watering to one day a week, effective June 1, or face fines.

The surface level of another massive Colorado River reservoir, Lake Powell, dipped below a critical threshold in March — raising concerns about whether Glen Canyon Dam can continue generating power for some 5 million customers across the U.S. West.

Lake Mead and Lake Powell upstream are the largest humanmade reservoirs in the U.S., part of a system that provides water to more than 40 million people, tribes, agriculture and industry in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and across the southern border in Mexico.

In Arizona, falling Colorado

River levels have prompted an emphasis on conservation and raised fears of reduced water deliveries to desert areas that include metro Phoenix, Tucson, tribal lands and farms.

At Lake Mead, the new pumps are fed by an intake drilled nearer to the bottom of the lake and completed in 2020 to ensure the ability to continue to draw water for Las Vegas, its casinos, suburbs and 2.4 million residents and 40 million tourists per year.

The “third straw” draws drinking water at 895 feet above sea level — below a point at which water would not be released downstream from Hoover Dam. Together, the pipeline and pump projects cost more than $1.3 billion. Drilling began in 2014, amid projections that the lake level would continue to fall due to drought. Increasingly dry conditions in the region are now attributed to long-term climate change. Lake Mead, between Nevada and Arizona, reached its high-water mark in July 1983, at 1,225 feet above sea level. On Friday, the level was 1,055 feet — about 30 percent full. Some of the steepest cliffs bordering the lake show 170 feet of white mineral “bathtub ring.”

“Without the third intake, Southern Nevada would be shutting its doors,” said Pat Mulroy, former longtime chief of the Las Vegas-based water authority, who is now a consultant. “That’s pretty obvious, since the first straw is out of the water.”

A midlevel pipeline also can draw water from 1,000 feet.

The authority maintains that the Las Vegas water supply is not immediately threatened. It points to water conservation efforts that it says since 2002 have cut regional consumption of Colorado River water by 26 percent while the area population has increased 49 percent.

The historic drought choking off rivers and reservoirs from the Rocky Mountains to the California coast is threatening to strain power grids this summer, raising the specter of blackouts and forcing the region to rely on more fossil fuels.

Many reservoirs that should be brimming with spring snowmelt show bathtub rings of dry dirt instead, including the largest one in the U.S., Lake Mead, which fell to a record low. Hydropower dams feeding off those reservoirs won’t be able to pump out as much electricity as they should, if they keep operating at all. After the drought last summer shut down the hydro dam at Lake Oroville, California’s second-largest reservoir, for five months, officials warn it’s no longer a distant possibility.

“We never thought it would be realized in our lifetime,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said last week during a trip to the dam, meant to remind Californians about the dangers of the drought. “It happened. And the prospects that it will happen again are very real, particularly because we had the driest January, the driest February and driest March in California history.”

One of California’s key water districts declared an emergency last week, limiting outdoor water usage for about six million people. The state had to resort to rolling blackouts during an extreme heat wave in 2020, and eastern Washington did the same in 2021. California had closed several old natural gas power plants as it shifts to solar and wind power. Low hydropower was one of the reasons the state suffered from a shortage of power during the heat wave’s hot nights.

Drought and subsequent power blackouts are but one example of how extreme weather conditions are straining cities and infrastructure built for a different, more stable climate. Last year, the U.S. endured 20 weather events that caused at least $1 billion in damage apiece, including the February deep freeze in Texas that killed more than 200 people.

In all, extreme weather cost the country about $148 billion in 2021, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.

In the 2010s, the average was $89 billion per year.

Less hydropower means the region’s fossil fuel power plants will burn more natural gas and coal to pick up the slack. That’s a problem for states trying to cut their greenhouse gas emissions

The dam spillway at Lake Oroville during a drought in California.

California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains helped some of the state’s reservoirs reach average for this time of the year, while others are far below normal.

The problem is particularly dire on the Colorado River, one of the region’s most important sources of water and energy. Lake Powell, the river reservoir which feeds the Glen Canyon hydropower dam, stands at 37 percent of normal capacity for this time of year. Officials from the federal government and seven states agreed to orchestrate flows into and out of the lake to ensure the dam’s generators keep running. As a result, less water will run downstream to Lake Mead, which feeds the Hoover Dam. That will cut the amount of drinking water available to residents of Arizona, California, and Nevada.

“Those two resources in particular are being threatened by the possibility of having to shut down,” said Branden Sudduth with the Western Electricity Coordinating Council, which helps oversee power grids across the region. His organization sees a “slight possibility” that the Glen

and fight climate change. And even the increased reliance on fossil fuels has its limits. States across the West have all grown dependent on importing power from each other during times of high demand. When a strong heat wave strikes multiple states at once — blanketing, say, the coast and the Southwest — supplies grow tight, and the possibility of blackouts rises.

“We’re in a difficult situation,’’ said Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at Stanford University.

“If there’s not a lot of hydro to go around, and if we have regions having a heat wave together, things get trickier.”

The Pacific Northwest coast — from Portland, Oregon up to Seattle — has received roughly average amounts of rain and snow for the water year, which began in October, according to the National Weather Service.

But from Eastern Oregon south to the Mexico border and extending across the Southwest, the La Niña weather phenomenon brought another drier-than-average winter, and drought grips nearly the entire region. April snows in

Canyon Dam could shut as early as this summer or fall. If it does and a prolonged heat wave hits, blackouts could result, he said.

Western states “have been retiring a lot of large base-load coal resources, that makes our availability of the supply of generation that much lower,” said Sudduth, WECC’s vice president of reliability planning.

States “haven’t been replacing it fast enough with other types of resources, and that makes the importance of these large hydroelectric generators that much more important.”

BloombergNEF forecasts that hydropower generation in California and Oregon’s Bonneville Power Administration, together, will drop about 2 percent from last year, which was already a drought year. The forecast is nearly 24 percent lower than in 2019, the region’s last wet year.

Newly added renewable power, as well as grid-scale batteries, will pick up some of the slack, particularly in California. But the region will burn perhaps 2 billion cubic feet more of natural gas each day than it would have in a normal hydro year, said Gary Cunningham, director of market research at brokerage Tradition Energy.

Southern California is at risk of volatile gas prices and in extreme conditions, potentially brownouts, he said. That’s because gas flowing westward on the El Paso pipeline, a key source for the power-plant fuel, is restricted after a rupture last year. The Los Angeles area’s massive Aliso Canyon gas storage facility is still operating at reduced levels after a 2015 leak, although regulators have approved increased use for this summer. “Under worse circumstances, we could see the need for rolling brownouts and blackouts in Southern California,” Cunningham said.

Census gives Irish chance to document lives Messages written on population survey will be sealed for 100 years

By Ed O’Loughlin New York Times

DUBLIN — Can the dead talk to the living? In Ireland, the answer now is officially yes — at least through their census forms.

Earlier this month, when around 2 million households completed their latest population survey, they were allowed to write or draw any message they liked in a blank box at the end. These innovative “time capsules,” as the census makers call them, will be sealed away in the national archive, to be revealed in 100 years’ time.

Many respondents went online right away with their DMs to the future, posting screen shots of what they had put in the box. Some entries were mischievous, others deeply moving.

A group of people gather outside The Duke pub in Dublin, Ireland in 2014. When around 2 million households in Ireland completed the census earlier this month, they were allowed to write or draw any message they liked in a blank box at the end.

Shannon, was among those who felt compelled to share her time capsule. Using a black ink pen, she wrote she was thankful that she would be remembered. She posted her entry to Twitter: “The branch of the family tree I am on dies with me. I am an only child, and have chosen not

to have children myself. No one will ever do a genealogy search for me. When I die I will be forgotten, most likely. … This time capsule is an opportunity for me to once more have someone say my name, think of me, know that I lived, and that I loved my life.”

Eileen Murphy, head of cen-

sus administration at Ireland’s Central Statistics Office, said the time capsule was believed to be a world first.

“We attend international meetings with other census organizations, and when we say we are doing this they go, ‘What, really? We haven’t heard of that,’ ” she said.

The capsule, she said, was the brainchild of Cormac Halpin, senior statistician for census assimilation, and followed public consultations about what kind of questions the 2022 census should ask.

The humanizing element is thought to have further reduced resistance to the government census process, which some find intrusive, in a country where, Murphy says, compliance is already high by international standards.

One reason for this relative willingness to share personal data with the state, she believes, is the Irish census still uses paper forms — albeit designed to be machine-readable — and hires friendly human enumerators to distribute and collect them.

“People in a 100 years will

see not only the message but the actual handwriting of the people who wrote it, which is such an intimate detail,” she said. “The next census in 2027 will be mostly online, but from the reaction we’ve had this time, we’ll definitely have to keep something similar in the future.

We can maybe use new technologies to allow people to give it that personal touch.”

Amy Dutil-Wall, a Michigan native who emigrated to Ireland 12 years ago, was one of many respondents who used their time capsule to remember loved ones who were away on the night of the census or who had died and would not be officially counted.

Dutil-Wall, whose young daughter died before being documented in a census, said, “Filling out the part of the form about naming the people in the house, it seemed so clear that Estlin should be there too, but she wasn’t. The time capsule let us say how much we loved her and missed her, and it was great to have even that small little thing for people in the future to look back on.”

Washington Post

The Roman emperor Vespasian might not be as well-known as his predecessors Nero and Caligula, but when he died in A.D. 79, he left behind a legacy that included stabilizing the empire, beginning construction of the structure that would become known as the Colosseum — and being the first politician recorded to have been pelted with flying produce.

During a visit to Africa, Vespasian was hit by rioters with turnips, according to the Roman historian Suetonius. Suetonius didn’t note precisely what had angered the people or how the emperor reacted, but one thing is clear: They were onto something, and some 2,000 years

later, the tradition of hurling food in political protest endures.

Throughout the centuries, politicians have been slugged with all manner of foods: eggs, pies, tomatoes. Remember the trend of right-wing British officials getting “milkshaked” as the Brexit debate raged?

Like Vespasian before him, former President Donald Trump is now adding to the story of politicians and the airborne food that haunts them. Trump, we learned Wednesday, actually feared for his life at the other end of a major food group, or at least claimed to.

“I think that they have to be aggressive in stopping that from happening,” Trump said, in a deposition whose transcript was reported last week, about

the approach his security detail took in 2015 to threats that protesters at a campaign rally might launch a vegetal attack.

“Because if that happens, you can be killed if that happens. … To stop somebody from throwing pineapples, tomatoes, bananas, stuff like that, yeah, it’s dangerous stuff.”

Trump’s worries might have been a bit misplaced. There are no prominent accounts of politicians being assassinated, or even maimed, by flying food.

And why did he bring up pineapples? The bulky tropical treats would make terrible projectiles — and how many of them would one need to lug around, anyway, to ensure a successful attack? Bananas, too, are an unlikely missile.

On tomatoes, though, Trump does have a point. Just hours after the news of Trump’s fruit fears emerged, newly reelected French President Emmanuel Macron was pelted with a hail of cherry tomatoes when he appeared at an open-air market in a Parisian suburb.

Macron, however, survived the onslaught, thanks in part to an umbrella someone nearby hoisted up to shield him.

Rotten produce, particularly tomatoes, has historically been associated with theatrical performances more than political ones. (The popular movie-reviewing site Rotten Tomatoes plays on the trope.) A bon mot that is often attributed to playwright Oscar Wilde — that when a rotten cabbage fell at his

feet onstage, he apocryphally addressed its sender, quipping “every time I smell it, I shall be reminded of you” — was perhaps inspired by an actual event from 1895. The angry father of Wilde’s lover arrived at a performance of his hit play The Importance of Being Ernest with a bouquet of vegetables he meant to throw, although he was turned away by police.

And an actor in a New York Times story from a dozen years earlier was described as being “demoralized by tomatoes” during a lackluster performance. It’s unlikely, however, that tomatoes were thrown at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, as is sometimes described, since tomatoes weren’t introduced in Europe until much later.

Backs, kickers take last day’s spotlight as QBs passed Georgia breaks record with 15 players selected; Texas doesn’t have any players picked for only second time since 1970 merger

By Barry Wilner Associated Press

JOHN LOCHER/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seattle fan Wallace Watts dances during the NFL Draft’s final day in Las Vegas, Nev. Three specialists were taken Saturday, with only five quarterbacks going in the last four rounds.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — In Las Vegas, which bills itself as the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” an NFL Draft bereft of star quarterback prospects wouldn’t seem a fit.

It didn’t matter, though, because as personnel people throughout the league predicted, the 2022 crop was so deep that even in the final four rounds, there were plenty of highlights.

They didn’t include the passers very much, but such was the quality of QBs. Running backs and kickers — kickers? — were more of a focus for much of Day 3 on Saturday.

INSIDE u A team-by-team list of each franchise’s selections in the 2022 NFL Draft. PAGE D-2 u Last pick not irrelevant to one family. PAGE D-3

Indeed, two punters and a placekicker went as the final day of selections began before any more quarterbacks were taken.

Maybe it shouldn’t be surprising that LSU placekicker Cade York went to Cleveland at No. 124 overall, followed by Penn State punter Jordan Stout six spots later to Baltimore. At No. 133 to Tampa Bay it was punter Jake Camarda of Georgia, four spots before the fifth quarterback in total, Western Kentucky’s Bailey Zappe, headed to New England.

Of course, it can’t be ignored that the Patriots once had some luck with a lateround QB. What was his name?

“With the draft, it’s always a tossup, but I did have a good idea that I was going to be a Raven,” said Stout, who will compete with

CARRYING HER DEMONS Once considering quitting sport during mental health struggle, senior’s complete game leads Santa Fe High to first district win since ’15

By James Barron jbarron@sfnewmexican.com

T

o the outside world, it was just a grand slam.

Inside the heart and mind of Jaiden Eustice — and to the piercing eyes of mother Katie Eustice — the home run she gave up to Reyna Leyba of St. Michael’s on April 24, 2019, was a cry for help. The tears that fell in the immediate aftermath of the play merely confirmed it.

What few on the field at Santa Fe High knew was that Jaiden Eustice’s world had been rocked hours before.

The then-freshman learned one of her closest friends, who she declined to name, had died by suicide. Eustice said it was the first time she had to deal with the death of someone close to her.

“I really didn’t know how to feel,” said Eustice, now a senior pitcher and infielder for the Demonettes. “It was a really weird day for me, and I didn’t know if I wanted to play.”

But she did play, and it started a roller coaster of a softball career as well as her confrontation of the mental health issues she continues to combat in some fashion since that day. It got to the point she questioned her love of a sport she started playing at the age of 9. Katie Eustice, though, said her daughter was not one to just quit on something she starts and that determination helped her get to the finish line of her Santa Fe High career.

“She’s literally the strongest person I know,” Katie Eustice said. “I learned so much from her every single day, and I’m so proud of her.”

The senior capped her career in grand fashion Saturday, tossing a complete game for the team’s third win of the season in an 11-4 victory over Albuquerque Rio Grande in the

veteran Sam Koch. “I’m extremely excited about it.”

“One big thing for me is that I know special teams is always very successful with the Ravens.”

True. Justin Tucker has been the most accurate placekicker in NFL history, and Koch has been a mainstay in Baltimore since 2006.

Cleveland saw in York exactly what every team wants in a kicker with a game on the line: utter confidence.

“I believe that I am the best kicker in this draft because I have been able to make big kicks in big situations,” he said. “I have been put out for a lot of long field goals in tough situations, and I still brought out good results in it. I think that is what makes me the best.”

Many scouts considered Camarda the best punter in the nation. He was the 11th player selected from the national champs.

Hall of Fame coach, Black trailblazer Stringer says she’ll retire Rutgers leader was first to make tourney semifinals at three different schools

By Doug Feinberg Associated Press

C. Vivian Stringer has been a trailblazer, serving as a role model to many Black coaches and players throughout her 50-year career.

The Hall of Fame coach announced her retirement on Saturday.

She finished with 1,055 wins — fourth all-time among Division I women’s basketball coaches behind Tara VanDerveer, Geno Auriemma and Pat Summitt.

Stringer made four Final Four appearances and reached the NCAA Tournament 28 times while leading Cheyney State, Iowa and Rutgers. She was the first coach in men’s or women’s basketball to take three different teams to the national semifinals.

Stringer was emotional when she talked to her team Friday night on a Zoom call.

“My life has been defined by coaching and I’ve been on this journey for over five decades,” she said in a statement.

“It is rare that someone gets to do what they love for this long and I have been fortunate to do that. I love Rutgers University for the incredible opportunity they offered me and the tremendous victories we achieved together.”

When Stringer first broke into coaching in 1971 at Cheyney State, there were no other female Black coaches to look up to for advice. She turned to friend and mentor John Chaney, who was the men’s coach at the school.

“I am forever indebted to all the coaches who I worked beside,” Stringer said in her statement. “Some were former players, some were colleagues, but all were friends and family at the end of the day and were my most trusted relationships.

“To the young ladies that I was fortunate to have coached and mentored into the women and leaders of today, keep pushing the barriers, keep pushing for your spot at the table, and always know who you are.”

One of the many coaches who Stringer influenced is South Carolina’s

Eustice struggled with anxiety stemming from the death of a friend that at one point sent her into panic attacks before she stepped into the pitching circle. ‘I just had to kind of push through it,’ Eustice said. ‘There were times where I would breakdown crying. ... Every game I was like, ‘I have to get through this,’ instead of working on myself.’

76ers: Chance Embiid can return from late injuries MVP candidate suffered orbital fracture, concussion in closing moments of series-clinching win

TODAY ON TV 11 a.m. ABC — Eastern Conference Semifinal: Milwaukee at Boston, Game 1 1:30 p.m. ABC — Western Conference Semifinal: Golden State at Memphis, Game 1.

By Tim Reynolds Associated Press

MIAMI — The best that Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers could offer Saturday about Joel Embiid’s possible availability for the Eastern Conference semifinal series against Miami was a two-word answer.

“There’s hope,” Rivers said.

For now, Philadelphia will cling to that.

The 76ers and Heat both hit the practice

floor Saturday to begin the process of adjusting for a playoff series that won’t have Embiid at the start — at minimum.

Embiid, the NBA’s scoring champion and an MVP finalist this season, has a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion, injuries that were suffered Thursday in a firstround series-clincher at Toronto and were announced Friday night.

Sports editor: Will Webber, wwebber@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Jordan Fox, jfox@sfnewmexican.com

Game 1 is Monday in Miami. And the 76ers will be without their center who averaged 30 points per game this season.

“I don’t know how you make up for it, but you figure out how to,” Rivers said. “Yeah, I mean, it’s just a tough injury. The good news, I guess, is he’s had it before. The bad news is Please see story on Page D-2 Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid receives attention from trainers after taking an elbow to the head during Thursday’s closeout game in Toronto.

For one family, ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ still means a lot

By Ken Belson

New York Times

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Only the hardiest of NFL fans stick around to watch the end of the third and final day of the draft. To Paul Salata, it was pure joy.

In 1976, Salata, who played three seasons of pro football in the 1940s and ’50s, created Mr. Irrelevant, a tongue-in-cheek award for the last player chosen in the draft. His motivation was simple: He wanted to celebrate a player who might otherwise be overlooked.

Salata, who grew up in poverty and later built a successful sewer construction business, understood that underdogs needed a pat on the back.

After playing for the All-American Football Conference’s San Francisco 49ers in 1949 and 1950, Salata maintained ties to the franchise as the league merged with the NFL. In the 1970s, he manned the phones at the draft, then annually held in a New York hotel conference room where teams would call the players as they were chosen. There were no fans or television cameras. It was at those drafts that Salata struck on the idea of Mr. Irrelevant.

Pete Rozelle, the league’s commissioner and an old friend of Salata’s from California, liked his idea, and starting in 1976, the last player drafted would be crowned Mr. Irrelevant. Although ESPN had started televising and hosting players at the draft in person by the 1980s, the last pick was unlikely to still be there in person. Salata would hold up a jersey with the three-digit number that represented the last pick of the draft.

For the next 45 years, Salata and his friends would fete each Mr. Irrelevant after the draft in Newport Beach, Calif., with a banquet, a parade, and assorted activities such as surfing lessons and visits to Disneyland.

Salata’s award added a rare dose of humor and serendipity to the draft, where players nervously await their fates and fans pin their hopes on next season’s rookies. And it allowed Salata to celebrate players who overcame the odds to get drafted by an NFL team.

This year, for the first time since he created Mr. Irrelevant, Salata will not be around to witness his creation. He died in October at 94.

the next level, playing at Georgia for four years, playing in every single biggest game you can possibly imagine,” Camarda noted.

“The Bucs certainly are a team that’s looking to make a big run. I definitely think that’s something with my history, playing in those big games and big moments, I certainly think it’s going to help play being with the Bucs.”

Another punter, San Diego State’s leftfooted Matt Araiza, was the opening pick of the sixth round, by Buffalo. He’ll go from kicking in the pristine conditions of San Diego to the often-frigid Western New York.

And yet another punter, Trenton Gill of North Carolina State, was the 255th selection

by Chicago.

The philosophy of taking running backs deeper into proceedings is nothing new, and several highly accomplished ball carriers were

BRIDGET BENNETT/NEW YORK TIMES

Melanie Fitch, the daughter of Paul Salata, holds a ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ jersey Thursday outside the NFL Draft in Las Vegas, Nev. Salata created the moniker, a tongue-in-cheek award for the last player chosen in the draft. Salata died in October.

Salata’s daughter, Melanie Fitch, carried on his tradition when the 262nd and final pick was announced Saturday. She has had practice: In 2015, she began announcing the picks because the trips to the draft host cities became too arduous for her father.

Salata would watch the draft from home in Newport Beach and, of course, welcome Mr. Irrelevant when he got there.

“He’s not here, but we’re still going,” Fitch said in a phone interview. “He built such a strong base, so we won’t lose any momentum in terms of the planning and celebration. Mr. Irrelevant will be as honorable as ever.”

The NFL honored Salata before the final pick in the draft

taken in Round 4. After Tampa Bay made tight end Cade Otton of Washington the leadoff pick — Rob Gronkowski has not publicly committed to return — Houston grabbed RB Dameon Pierce of Florida. From there, the likes of Zamir White of Georgia, Isaiah Spiller of Texas A&M, Pierre Strong, a standout from South Dakota State of the FCS and Hassan Haskins of Michigan went off the board.

The fifth round, however, got started with Washington grabbing North Carolina QB Sam Howell, who was projected as a much higher selection just a year ago but didn’t have an outstanding final season for the Tar Heels.

Howell called it “a little stressful” to sit through four rounds.

“I was just hanging out and just waiting for a call, and I’m so glad it was Washington that called,” Howell said. “This is a perfect spot for me. It’s a team I wanted to play for all along.”

Zappe wasn’t hearing from any comparisons to New England’s 2000 sixth-rounder at No. 199, Tom Brady.

“I am continuing to be myself,” he said. “I

Fitch was accompanied by her daughter Alix, who carried a No. 262 jersey as the two women walked to the lectern. In an especially poignant twist, the San Francisco 49ers had the last pick in the draft. They used it to select Brock Purdy, a quarterback from Iowa State.

Fitch had been wary because the pick could have been traded to a team with less connection to Salata.

“I’m just concerned the 49ers will trade the pick and I’ll be wearing a 49ers jersey and have to say that the Philadelphia Eagles have chosen Mr. Irrelevant,” she said with a chuckle before the draft.

am not trying to be anybody else. I am going to come to work every day and get 1 percent better. That is how I look at it. I do not worry too much about the naysayers and critics. The Patriots believe in me, and those coaches, players, and organization believed in me, and those are the people I’m going to try to prove right, that this pick was the right one.”

Perhaps fittingly the final choice, Mr. Irrelevant, went to San Francisco, which took Brock Purdy of Iowa State.

A quarterback.

No surprise that the national champion Georgia Bulldogs dominated these proceedings overall. They set a record through six rounds by having 15 selected: eight on defense, six on offense, and punter Camarda, which is the number they finished with. And Cincinnati had more draftees (nine) than Ohio State (five).

At the other end, Texas didn’t have a player drafted for just the second time since the 1970 merger. The other was in 2014, the last class for coach Mack Brown, who led the Longhorns to the 2005 national championship.

Santa Fe High doubled its fun Saturday afternoon, while Capital found consolation through the consolation bracket of the District 5-5A Individual Tennis Tournament.

The boys and girls doubles title went to Santa Fe High, as the boys duo of Humza Mahmood and Luis Carlos Flores and girls partners Carmen Valentino and Yasmin Verastegui-Palomino won the district titles in convincing fashion. Meanwhile, Capital captured third place in the boys and girls singles bracket, as well as on the girls doubles side.

The top four placers in each district advanced to the State Individual Tennis Tournament, which begins Wednesday in Albuquerque.

The Mahmood/Flores team beat Albuquerque Manzano’s Jack Sues and Cyrus Mingley by a 6-4, 6-3 score for the boys title.

Valentino and Verastegui-Palomino handled the Lady Monarchs of Isabel Spotz and Felice Davis, 6-0, 6-1, for the girls crown.

As for Capital, Marcus Crockett and Marianna Carrillo won their third-place matches, with Crockett besting Los Lunas’ Nick Morales, 6-2, 6-2. Carrillo won her 20th match of the season with a 6-3, 6-3 win over the Lady Tigers’ Taleyah Beyar. She improved to 20-16 combined in singles and doubles competition.

Capital secured a third team into the state bracket when Glory Fowler and Alyssa Sandoval downed Santa Fe High’s sister duo of Avah and Maiah Trujillo, 7-5, 6-4.

Benzema-led Madrid wins Liga title for record-extending 35th time MADRID — Real Madrid made it look easy this time.

With a title-winning campaign few could contest, Madrid clinched its record-extending 35th Spanish league title on Saturday, lifting the trophy with four rounds left after routing Espanyol 4-0 with its backup players.

Led by a red-hot Karim Benzema, Madrid was in control from the start, successfully fending off every run made by its challengers and comfortably winning its second league title in three seasons.

“We were very consistent throughout the season,” coach Carlo Ancelotti said. “We faltered in very few matches.”

Barcelona thought it could have had a chance to catch Madrid after improving late in the season, but it never came close. Sevilla was near the top for a period but could not keep up, eventually seeing its chances disappear after a demoralizing 3-2 loss to Madrid at home after leading 2-0 at halftime a few rounds ago. Defending champion Atlético Madrid got off to a slow start and never had enough momentum to contend.

After its win over Espanyol, Madrid was 17 points ahead of Sevilla, 18 points in front of Barcelona and 20 points ahead of Atlético.

Madrid led in all but six rounds early in the season, being at the top since the 14th round in November.

Taylor edges Serrano in historic bout NEW YORK — Katie Taylor remained the undisputed lightweight champion in a thrilling first women’s boxing match to headline at Madison Square Garden, edging Amanda Serrano in a split decision Saturday night.

Both fighters were cut as they fit in plenty of powerful exchanges during the two-minute rounds — one shorter than men’s. In the end, Taylor did just a little more to stay undefeated in front of an announced sold-out crowd of 19,187 that seemed spilt between Taylor’s Irish and Serrano’s Puerto Rican fans.

After the fighters traded punches during a slugfest of a 10th and final round, Taylor emerged with scores of 96-93 and 97-93 on two of the judges’ cards, while Serrano won 96-94 on the other.

opening game of a District 5-5A finale series for both teams. The win represented the first district win for Santa Fe High (3-23 overall, 1-9 in 5-5A) since 2015, which caught Jaiden Eustice by surprise.

However, she said it was big for her and the program to get one more win.

“That was a really big moment for me,” Eustice said. “I finished it very happy with myself, but it was very big just to go out with one more win. I think we needed it, for sure.”

Her biggest problem centered on the 16-foot pitching circle, which represented the battle of Eustice’s inner demons and became the bane of her playing existence. She said she grew to dislike pitching because it reminded her of the friend she lost and the game she shouldn’t have played.

The grand slam was the last pitch she threw that day in 2019, and Eustice said she doesn’t remember much of anything after that. But Katie Eustice remembers guiding her to the car right after she left the game, taking her home and spending the rest of the night crying in bed as Jaiden Eustice walked around in a haze.

“She was dissociating herself from it,” Katie Eustice said. “It’s something she can’t explain, and the only way I can tell is I see it in her eyes when she does that. I know when she’s not there.”

The moment represented a significant change in Jaiden Eustice’s performance. She showed plenty of promise for most of the 2019 season and was even named MVP of the Moriarty Invitational after helping the Demonettes win the tournament. Former Demonettes head coach Andrew Villa said Eustice was clearly one of the best players on the team and their ace pitcher. She was also someone who knew the game well and she did her part to help lesser experienced players learn.

“The first two years were incredible,” Villa said.

“She was on fire.”

After the St. Michael’s game, Eustice struggled with panic attacks through the rest of the season, and it mimicked Santa Fe High’s troubles as it finished the season on a 14-game losing streak.

The coronavirus pandemic and a concussion robbed Eustice of her sophomore season, but she continued to struggle with the idea of pitching, to the point she contemplated quitting the team.

Mike Eustice, Jaiden Eustice’s father, said he didn’t like the idea of her turning away from the sport he introduced her to when she was younger.

“We’ve got to a point where I kind of let her do her own thing,” said Mike Eustice, a 2002 Santa Fe High graduate and former baseball player. “If she wanted to go hit or wanted to go throw, I had her come to me. I wouldn’t want to force it.”

Katie Eustice said there were discussions with Jaiden Eustice to find her therapy to address her mental health, but they could not find one because

The Demonettes’ Jaiden Eustice watches some of her fellow seniors start to tear up during festivities on senior day in April. Eustice pitched a complete game Saturday to help Santa Fe High win its first district game since 2015. ‘That was a really big moment for me,’ Eustice said.

demand for counseling services skyrocketed. She said she made multiple phone calls and visits to several places, but to no avail.

“A psychiatrist literally said, ‘If I could find you a therapist, I would, but I can’t,’ ” Eustice said. “Those were her exact words.”

Ironically, it was the pandemic that led to a change in Jaiden Eustice’s attitude toward the sport.

She teetered on the brink of quitting softball, but it was a travel club team out of Albuquerque that threw Eustice a lifeline. For the first time in three years, she was offered a chance to do something other than pitching.

Eustice competed for the first-base job and won it. Suddenly, the panic attacks steadily subsided.

Even more important, the friendships she built with her club teammates gave her hope that perhaps she wasn’t ready to give up on the sport.

“I was really determined,” Eustice said. “When we got to the first tournament and [the coach] really gave me a chance and I secured my spot, that’s when I was like, ‘This is lots of fun. I really, really enjoy it.’ ” But the return to high school action brought her back to the pitching circle, where her anxiety returned as the Demonettes struggled to a 1-19 record in 2021. Katie Eustice said she talked to Villa about Jaiden Eustice not pitching, but the coach said there was no viable alternative. Villa said Eustice and then-sophomore Brianna Trujillo had to shoulder the pitching burden because of their softball experience, but they were sometimes over-

whelmed by veteran, more talented teams. Add a young, inexperienced team on the field, and it made a bad situation worse.

“In [Class] 5A, if you don’t have a pitcher, you better hope you have one hell of a defense,” Villa said. “Or one hell of an offense. And even then, that might not be enough.”

Eustice said she felt compelled to help her team out.

“I just had to kind of push through it,” Eustice said. “There were times where I would breakdown crying, and that was really embarrassing like, but my coach wouldn’t take me out. Every game I was like, ‘I have to get through this,’ instead of working on myself.”

However, one of those moments caught the attention of Korie Polanco, an assistant coach at Capital who took over the Santa Fe High program this season. Polanco knew Eustice from coaching her at the club level when she was younger and was close friends with her parents. When she saw Eustice lose her composure during a district doubleheader last season, she momentarily crossed team lines and offered some advice.

“We told [Demons teammate] Ariana Prada to go up to Jaiden and let her know, ‘You’re gonna be fine.

Just throw strikes,’ ” Polanco said. “’That’s all we need.’ And at that point I knew I needed to take the job to help her out, along with the other seniors.”

One of the first things Polanco did was talk to Eustice about her role on the team and offered Eustice the choice to pitch or play in the field. They

worked out an arrangement in which Eustice would occasionally pitch, and if she did not feel comfortable with it, Polanco would find somebody else.

“I had to come get her back to where she was when she was 10, 12 years old,” Polanco said. “Coming into high school, her eighth grade year, she had a really great year, a really good start to everything.

Then after that, it kind of went downhill.”

Eustice said she preferred to play first base but she understood her role might change from game to game. She played every position except for third base and catcher this season and even had her first complete game since her freshman year when she went five innings in a 15-3 mercy-rule win over Grants on March 6. Eustice faced all but three batters in a 9-4 loss at Raton on April 20, but she recorded every single out in a seven-inning effort — the first time she did that since 2019. The only thing that prevented her from a true complete game was when Polanco pulled her for a moment with two outs in the seventh so she could use the bathroom.

“I could see it while she was pitching, like she was like squeezing her legs a little bit more,” Polanco said. “I was like, ‘OK, it’s time. She’s gotta go.’ ” It culminated with a sterling performance against the Lady Ravens in which she had her first true complete game. She also reached base all six times in the doubleheader and she had a triple in the final game, a 23-18 Rio Grande win in which it rallied from an 11-1 second-inning deficit.

The game might prove to be Eustice’s final competitive game. She said she is leaning toward going to New Mexico Highlands University as a student but did not discount the notion of trying to walk onto the team. She had a scholarship offer from Lamar Community College in Colorado, but Eustice said she didn’t feel comfortable being that far away from home.

Regardless of her future, Eustice said if Saturday proved to be her final turn on the field, she will be satisfied with the legacy she leaves — as well as the demons she overcame to reclaim her passion for the game.

“I still have mixed emotions that this is it,” Eustice said. “But I know I did everything I could for the past five years. I’m proud of myself.”

Marlins’ win streak longest since 2016 The Associated Press

MIAMI — Jesús Luzardo allowed one run and two hits in six innings and the Miami Marlins won their seventh straight game, beating the Seattle Mariners 3-1 on Saturday night.

Brian Anderson had two hits for the Marlins, whose last seven-game win streak ran from April 24-30, 2016.

Luzardo (2-1) struck out five and walked one in his longest outing of the season. Miami relievers Anthony Bass and Cole Sulser each threw a scoreless inning and Anthony Bender pitched around two singles in the ninth for his sixth save.

Mariners starter Robbie Ray cruised through the first four innings before running into trouble in a 36-pitch fifth inning.

The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner allowed RBI singles to Bryan De La Cruz and Jon Berti and walked three, including Garrett Cooper with the bases loaded.

PHILLIES 4, METS 1 In New York, Kyle Schwarber hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning as Philadelphia bounced back from being no-hit by beating the Mets.

Mets starter Taijuan Walker and reliever Trevor May blanked the Phillies through six innings before J.T. Realmuto drew a oneout walk in the seventh from Adam Ottavino (1-1).

Schwarber followed by homering to right-center field for a 2-1 lead. Alec Bohm walked and scored when Odubel Herrera chased Ottavino with a two-out double. Rhys Hoskins added a homer leading off the eighth.

Hall of Fame coach Stringer says she’ll retire

In Toronto, George Springer homered twice against his former team, leading José Berríos and the Blue Jays over Houston and snapping the Astros’ four-game win streak.

Springer’s leadoff homer in the first was the 46th of his career.

Starting at DH, Springer connected again in the third, the 19th multi-homer game of his career.

Berríos (2-0) gave up seven hits, struck out five and walked two. Adam Cimber pitched one inning, Tim Mayza went 1 1-3 innings and Jordan Romano threw a perfect ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances.

DIAMONDBACKS 2, CARDINALS 0 In St. Louis, Merrill Kelly threw seven shutout innings and Ketel Marte and Nick Ahmed homered in the eighth inning, sending Arizona past St. Louis.

Marte led off the eight by taking a 1-1 changeup off Miles Mikolas (1-1) into the right field bullpen for his first homer of the season.

One out later, Ahmed sent a 1-1 fastball into the left field bullpen for his second homer.

Kelly (2-1) pitched seven scoreless innings, holding the Cardinals to two hits with four strikeouts and one hit batter. He’s allowed four total earned runs in his first five starts. Ian Kennedy pitched the ninth and earned his first save.

Dawn Staley, who won her second national championship on April 3.

“Coach Stringer represents hope for us,” Staley said right before Stringer won her 1,000th game in 2018. “She hasn’t won a national championship, but she’s gotten to the Final Four with three different schools.

That’s historical for us. She seized the opportunity to be successful wherever she went and she gave us an example of how to succeed with whatever opportunity you were given.”

Staley tweeted her admiration for Stringer on Saturday.

“Coach Stringer thank you for elevating our game,” Staley said. “The strength of your shoulders allowed us to stand tall. We will forever keep your legacy in our hearts. Thank you Coach Stringer.”

Stringer has sent many Rutgers players to the WNBA during her tenure, including Cappie Pondexter, Essence Carson, Betnijah Laney and Epiphanny Prince.

“Stringer was a great coach. I’ve known her my entire life,” said Laney, whose mom also played for Stringer at Cheyney State. “To have the ability to play for her and learn from her, the legacy she’s built, I wish her nothing but the best of luck in her retirement.”

The 74-year-old Stringer had been on leave this past season because of COVID-19 concerns. She signed a five-year extension before going on leave last April.

Her retirement becomes effective on Sept.

1, and she agreed to an $872,988 retirement buyout. Rutgers will name its basketball court in her honor next season.

Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway said naming the court after her is “a fitting and indelible tribute to one of the greatest coaches of all time.” He called Stringer “an icon” whose impact has been “felt across our campuses, around the state and throughout the nation.”

Stringer has coached at Rutgers since 1995, winning 535 games. She led the Scarlet

Coach C. Vivian Stringer holds the trophy after Rutgers defeated Arizona State to win the Greensboro, N.C., regional in the 2007 NCAA Tournament. Along with the Scarlet Knights, Stringer took Cheyney State and Iowa to Final Fours.

Knights to the NCAA title game in 2007 when they lost to Tennessee.

She also took Rutgers to the Final Four in 2000 after guiding Cheyney State to the first NCAA title game in 1982 and Iowa to the national semifinals in 1993.

“Coach Stringer is a titan in college basketball, inspiring generations of student-athletes and coaches to pursue excellence on and off the court,” Rutgers Athletic Director Pat Hobbs said. “Her place in the history of the game is cemented, but more remarkable is the legions of young women whose lives she helped shape.”

Stringer left Cheyney State in Pennsylvania for Iowa, where she elevated the Hawkeyes starting in 1983 and set an attendance record in 1985 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Stringer left Iowa to coach at Rutgers following the death of her husband Bill.

“There’s always a soft spot in my heart for the University of Iowa and Dr. Christine Grant for giving me my first major coaching

position,” Stringer said. “ ... She was a strong believer in women’s rights and that’s a responsibility that I have championed and will continue to take up the fight for.”

Stringer won 20 or more games 37 times in her career, finishing with a 1,055-426 record (.712 winning percentage). She was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001 and enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009. Stringer also served as an assistant coach on the 2004 U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal.

The school will begin a search for a new coach immediately. Associate head coach Tim Eatman had taken over for Stringer in her absence.

“This was the hardest decision of my life, but I thank God he has allowed me to do the thing I love most. I am ready to start my new journey and spending more time with my family, children, and grandchildren,” she said. “I am truly blessed to have had so many wonderful people in my life.”

In St. Petersburg, Fla., Kyle Garlick hit two home runs off starter Shane McClanahan and Minnesota beat Tampa Bay. Carlos Correa had three hits for the Twins, who have won eight of nine. Cody Stashak (2-0) got the win in relief.

McClanahan (1-2) struck out a career-high 11 in five innings, giving up three runs on four hits, including Garlick’s two homers.

The left-hander leads the American League with 42 strikeouts.

GUARDIANS 3, ATHLETICS 1 In Oakland, Calif., Pinch-hitter Richie Palacios hit a two-out, tworun double in the ninth inning and Cleveland took advantage of a key error to beat Oakland.

It was 1-all with one out in the Cleveland ninth with a runner on first when Oscar Mercado hit a potential double-play grounder to rookie second baseman Nick Allen, who misplayed it for an error. Palacios hit a towering double on a 3-1 pitch from Dany Jiménez (1-1).

Nick Sandlin (1-1) earned the win and Emmanuel Clase picked up his fourth save for the Guard-

ians, who won their second straight after a seven-game losing streak.

GIANTS 9, NATIONALS 3 In San Francisco, Jason Vosler homered and Darin Ruf had three hits as San Francisco overcame the absence of several players due to COVID-19 and beat Washington.

Giants starter Logan Webb (3-1) gave up a career-high 11 hits in six innings. He struck out three, walked one and allowed three runs.

The Giants snapped a twogame skid with their sixth win in eight games.

WHITE SOX 4, ANGELS 0 In Chicago, Tim Anderson and Luis Robert homered to help the Chicago end the Angels’ six-game winning streak.

Josh Harrison, AJ Pollock and Anderson had two hits apiece for the White Sox, who won for the second time in 12 games.

Tyler Wade had two hits for the AL West-leading Angels, who were trying to climb to eight games above .500 for the first time since June 10, 2018. Threetime MVP Mike Trout and reigning MVP Shohei Ohtani were a combined 0 for 8 with two strikeouts.

José Suarez (0-2) took the loss.

RANGERS 3, BRAVES 1 In Arlington, Texas, Corey Seager homered in his third straight game, Dane Dunning allowed one run over a career-high 7⅔ innings and Texas beat Atlanta.

Seager’s solo homer gave Texas its first run in the first inning since opening day. The Rangers snapped a four-game losing streak.

Dunning (1-1) won for the first time since last Aug. 2, allowing three hits. Joe Barlow pitched a perfect ninth for his first save of the season.

PIRATES 7, PADRES 6, 10 INNINGS In Pittsburgh, Ke’Bryan Hayes singled in the tying run and scored the winning run on an error as Pittsburgh scored twice in the bottom of the 10th inning to beat San Diego and snap a four-game losing streak.

Hayes hit a leadoff single into center field off Luis Garcia (0-1) that scored automatic runner Jake Marisnick with the tying run. First baseman Eric Hosmer then misplayed Bryan Reynolds’ ground ball. The ball rolled down the right-field line and Hayes scored from first base.

YANKEES 3, ROYALS 0 In Kansas City, Mo., Gerrit Cole pitched six sharp innings and New York won its eighth straight game by manufacturing runs against sloppy Kansas City pitching.

Cole (2-0) allowed five hits and two walks while striking out six.

BREWERS 9, CUBS 1 In Milwaukee, Eric Lauer struck out 11 in seven innings as Milwaukee beat Chicago.

Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and Christian Yelich and Hunter Renfroe connected for consecutive home runs in the eighth.

ORIOLES 2, RED SOX 1, 10 INNINGS In Baltimore, Jorge Mateo scored the winning run in the 10th inning on a throwing error by pitcher Hirokazu Sawamura, capping Baltimore’s comeback over Boston.

Baltimore had runners on first and second with no outs in the 10th when Robinson Chirinos dropped a bunt in front of the mound.

Sawamura (0-1) scooped up the ball and threw it well over the head of third baseman Rafael Devers, allowing Mateo to score easily.

ROCKIES 4, REDS 3 In Denver, Chad Kuhl shook off a first-pitch homer by Tyler Naquin and lasted into the eighth inning, Ryan McMahon hit a go-ahead two-run triple in the sixth and Colorado dealt Cincinnati its ninth straight road loss.

TIGERS 5, DODGERS 1 In Los Angeles, Javier Báez and Austin Meadows each drove in two runs and Detroit snapped a six-game losing streak, spoiling a night when Clayton Kershaw became the Dodgers’ career strikeout leader.

Báez tied it at 1-all in the third inning with a base hit to left and then had the go-ahead double down the right-field line off Evan Phillips (1-1) in the seventh.

Housing shortage and soaring rents squeeze U.S. students

The college crunch

R

ecently, a long-serving city planning commissioner publicly wondered if the housing crisis was true or maybe just an anecdotal urban myth with no proof to back it up. That was breathtaking. I sincerely hope she was kidding.

I have heard this shade for years. It implies the “crisis” is manufactured by a cabal of developers, including local nonprofit ones, whose sole purpose is to make as much money as possible. It suggests their strident voices and deep pockets have ensured public policy to support their greed.

It has at its roots the unshakable Kim belief that the developer creed must Shanahan be: “If we build it, they will come.”

Building Santa Fe The reality is the opposite: “If we don’t build it, they’re leaving.”

Actually, thousands have already left, and Santa Fe County has the proof. It also has projections for what we need to build today to not fall even further behind than where the report suggests we will be in 2025.

The numbers are frightening. Whatever word is worse than crisis, that’s what we’re in.

The 260-page report tracked data from the county, including the city, from July 2010 to July 2019 — a decade of data.

Research and analysis were done by the University of New Mexico’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research, the go-to place for hard data and conservative predictions for growth, demand, affordability and public policy.

Commissioned by the head of the county’s affordable housing office, Joseph Montoya, the report’s conclusions came as no surprise to him. After 30-plus years at the epicenter of affordable housing problems and their solutions in our state, with a primary focus on Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico, nobody has a better feel for conditions Please see story on Page E-2

For a colorful kitchen, go for bold appliances

By Hannah Selinger For the Washington Post

I don’t remember the first refrigerator my family owned, but I distinctly recall the one my mother bought when she renovated our Massachusetts home in 1988. It was a sleek black glass unit, a contrast to the kitchen’s luxurious cherry wood cabinets and white tile floors and countertops.

Back then, a black glass refrigerator was the kind of appliance that dropped jaws. But a little over a decade later, when I started looking for apartments of my own, black had been replaced by stainless steel. My first solo apartment in Queens offered a depressing, glossy white fridge and rickety white range. So naturally, when I moved into a two-bedroom in 2012 that boasted a GE Monogram with French doors and a Samsung range, it felt as if I had arrived.

Although stainless-steel appliances have been the standard in midtier luxury homeownership for the past two decades, a new trend, ushered in by Café — GE’s mass premium appliance line — Ilve, Samsung, Smeg and others, is slowly cresting. Kitchens are beginning to reflect whimsy and personal taste with colorful appliances in shades such as bright blue and lemon yellow.

University of California, Berkeley freshmen Sanaa Sodhi, right, and Cheryl Tugade look for apartments in Berkeley, Calif., last month. Millions of college students are trying to find an affordable place to live as rents surge nationally, affecting seniors, young families and students alike.

By Janie Har Associated Press

BERKELEY, Calif. niversity of California, Berkeley sophomore Terrell Thompson slept in his car for nearly two weeks at the start of the school year last fall, living out of a suitcase stashed in the trunk and texting dozens of landlords a day in a desperate search for a place to live.

The high-achieving student from a low-income household in Sacramento, Calif., was majoring in business administration at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Yet, Thompson folded his 6-foot frame into the back seat of his Honda Accord at night, wondering how he would ever find a home in the exorbitantly expensive San Francisco Bay Area city.

“Academically it was hard, because I’m worried about finding housing and I’m worried about my clothes and I’m worried about getting my car broken into all the time,” said the 19-year-old

Jonathan Dena, 29, a transfer student and senior at the University of California, Berkeley, lives at Rochdale Village Apartments. Dena pays under $1,300 a month for a studio and parking at the apartments, but the bare-bones and heavily subsidized units are scheduled for seismic upgrades, which means Dena will need to move.

2021 was any indication, it won’t be easy. Students at colleges from California to Florida were denied on-campus housing last fall and found themselves sitting out the year at home or living in motel rooms or vehicles as surging rents and decades of failing to build sufficient student housing came to a head.

For some colleges, the housing crunch was related to increased demand by students who had been stuck at home during the pandemic. For others, including many in California, the shortage reflects a deeper conflict between the colleges and homeowners who don’t want new housing built for students who they say increase congestion and noise.

In March, UC Berkeley said it would have to cap student enrollment because of a lawsuit brought by irate neighbors over the school’s growth. State lawmakers fast-tracked a fix to allow the campus to enroll as many students as planned for the 2022 fall semester, Please see story on Page E-2 SANTAFENEWMEXICAN.COM

migration, not births versus deaths. That demographic paradigm shift is here to stay. That means growth, which did blow up considerably during the pandemic, largely is from people who can afford to move here and buy a house.

That means higher prices for bad houses and more young families driven from their hometown.

With the median sale price of homes

over $500,000 and the top price a family earning the median income can afford at $300,000, there’s a huge gap of homes that will never be built.

The report says 70 percent of the population can only buy if homes were under $300,000. Turn the pages of this newspaper, and see if you can find even one you’d be willing to live in.

The report also says if we built to erase the housing deficit that grew in that period, and built for projected growth, we’d still need more than 2,500

new dwelling units per year. Impossible to imagine.

The report also says 50 percent of whatever is built should be sold for less than $300,000. Also impossible to imagine.

It is easy to imagine we grow from people who can afford to buy at the expense of those who can’t, like my kids and yours. Yes, it’s a crisis.

COURTESY SMEG

Smeg’s Portofino line is available in white and black, as well as olive green, red, orange, yellow and, of course, stainless steel.

For a colorful kitchen, go for bold appliances Continued from Page E-1

“White was the primary appliance out there for many, many years,” says Albert Fouerti, chief executive of the e-commerce platform Appliances Connection. “When stainless-steel appliances came out, that was a major differentiation.” Now, Fouerti says, brands are evolving again, recognizing that homeowners spend a lot of time in the kitchen and want to customize the space.

So they are offering colors, hardware and bespoke options that allow consumers to express their creativity. “You have beautiful, great-looking, great-working appliances, but also different options of customization that fit your needs,” he says.

Customization used to be reserved for the highest tier of luxury consumers, an appliance market driven by those purchasing items in excess of $10,000 apiece. But truly personalized products, available in finishes that extend beyond stainless or the standard black and white, are now accessible to a cross section of buyers who are defined as midtier. (Those in the market for refrigerators between $3,000 and $5,000, for example, or for single- and dual-fuel stove-oven combinations that range from $4,000 to $12,000.) These are buyers who like what they like,

and what they like is a little pop.

The move toward color in appliances, says Wayne Davis, senior brand director for Café, has been a slow but steady tack.

Consumers have been falling in love with colorful appliances from a distance for several years, but they have also known them to be cost-prohibitive. “When they would go to the store, their budget really only allowed them to have stainless as their premium choice,” he says. “And so, we saw an opportunity to say: Well, how can we take what’s going on in luxury and bring it into what we call ‘mass premium’?”

For Café, the result has been a line of appliances — ranges, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators — available in matte white, matte black and stainless steel that has customizable options for brushed black, bronze, copper and stainless-steel hardware. Davis says the black and white matte appliances, in particular, have been met with enthusiasm.

He attributes some of this stylistic change to the coronavirus pandemic. “Because we were all stuck at home, we’re spending a lot more time in our space,” he says. “We all were saying: ‘What can I do to make this space more mine?’ ” Changing the color of a range, dishwasher or refrigerator was an act that felt personal, and that feeling has

continued, he says.

The options are now more open than ever, says Gina Sims, owner and principal designer of Gina Sims Designs in Atlanta. “We love color. We never shy away from an opportunity,” she says.

Working with a vibrant appliance, Sims says, can be tricky at times, but one way to bypass overkill is to make careful choices. “Select one to be the main event,” she suggests. “I do see stainless as kind of being jeans in an outfit. It exists for a purpose. If you want a statement appliance, you need everything else to kind of bow out a little bit.”

That signature item could be a lemon yellow Bertazzoni range, coated in automotive paint (the same appliance that Sims is installing in a 1980s-inspired kitchen); a matte black Café dishwasher with bronze hard-

ware; an Ilve Majestic II dual fuel range and Majestic hood in emerald green; or a Samsung Bespoke refrigerator featuring a limited-edition blue-and-white winter design.

Nothing is out of bounds, Sims says. Homeowners should not be concerned about whether styles will change, assuming the color or style they’re drawn to is something they’ve loved for a long time and that is in tune with the overall look of their home. “If you look at something and go, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so me, because I’ve always loved green my entire life,’ well, then, I’m gonna love that green stove, because I’ve always loved it,” she says. However, she cautions against purchasing something simply because you’ve seen it everywhere and find it momentarily appealing.

Replace the missing words.

Write an article about something you did or saw recently.

Include at least three FACTS. Remember to include WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY, too.

World Press Freedom Day

WRITE THE HEADLINE: May 3rd is World Press Freedom Day. People around the world will celebrate the importance of a free press to a democracy.

Freedom of the press gives ________________ the right to __________ the truth with a promise that they will not be punished for doing their job by the government.

In certain countries, that is not the case.

The News Literacy Project provides a list of 10 questions to help people do research on the internet. Below are three of those questions. To see all 10, go to the source link below.

By: your name

Freedom of the press also means that people have the _________ to express their opinions or beliefs in publications.

Facts can be checked with research, and these days a lot of people use the internet for their research. Unfortunately, not all information on the internet is true and accurate.

Here are some tips to help you do research on the internet more carefully.

Write the article here (or use a separate sheet of paper):

Draw a map showing where the event happened:

Gauge your emotional reaction:

Is it strong? Are you angry?

Are you intensely hoping that the information turns out to be true? False?

Can you find at least 5 differences between these two pictures?

Where the Press Isn’t Free

Sadly, some governments ________ what newspapers and other media can say.

Newspapers are not _______ to write about many events.

Consider the headline or main message:

Journalists around the world take great ______ to get facts and important news and information to all people. Far too many have died doing this.

b. Does it make a claim about containing a secret or telling you something that “the media” doesn’t want you to know?

a. Does it use excessive punctuation (!!!) or ALL CAPS for emphasis?

NEWS OR NOT? Look through the newspaper for articles that a government might want taken out. Cross them out. What’s left? These two people are talking about one of the articles you crossed out. Write what you think these people are saying.

Good article! People need to read this because

I disagree! This should not be in the newspaper because

Facts Help People Understand the World There are many difficult and confusing things going on in the world. Sometimes it is hard to know what to think.

One tip is to look for the FACTS. (Example: The house is red is a fact. The house is beautiful is an opinion.)

FACTS are pieces of information based upon things that can be measured, proven or seen by anyone.

OPINIONS describe how someone feels about a thing or event. Opinions can vary from person to person.

Circle the FACTS in GREEN. Circle the OPINIONS in RED. Tomás is a fast reader.

Tomás can read 100 words in 30 seconds.

The apple weighs 5 ounces.

The apple tastes good.

Trees are prettier in the summer than in the fall.

Trees need water and sunlight to grow.

The movie was filmed on location in Canada.

The funniest scenes you’ll ever see are in this movie.

Standards Link: Literacy: Differentiate between fact and opinion.

Freedom of the Press

The Founding Fathers of the United States believed so strongly in the importance of a free press, that they protected that right in the First Amendment of the Constitution. There were 10 Amendments, or additions, added to the Constitution in 1791.

To find out how many Amendments have been added since 1791, color the spaces with two dots red.

JOURNALIST FOUNDING OPINIONS FREEDOM FATHERS PROMISE PROVEN WORLD PRESS TRUTH RIGHT FACTS MEDIA FEELS READ

A Day to Reflect and Remember World Press Freedom Day is a day to think about the importance of a free press and to remember those who have fought and sacrificed for the press to be free.

Journalism Careers

Look through today’s newspaper for the names of the following: publisher editor managing editor editorial page editor an opinion columnist a reporter Standards Link: Understand newspaper format.

A R R F A C T S P S T O E D F H R M R I

H M A E G I U E O M E E E I D S T D V O

J O U R N A L I S T

W S N O I N I P O S

Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recognize identical words. Skim and scan reading. Recall spelling patterns.

b. Is there a byline (an author’s name) attached to this piece? c. Go to the website’s “About” section: Does the site describe itself as a “fantasy news” or “satirical news” site? d. Does the person or organization that produced the information have any editorial standards? e. Does the “contact us” section include an email address that matches the domain (not a Gmail or Yahoo email address)? f. Does a quick search for the name of the website raise any suspicions?

The enlightened ones told parents and teachers to do everything possible to produce high self-esteem in their children. As adults began acting like everything children did was worthy of merit, child achievement levels began to plummet and continue to do so.

Why do your best when everything you do is just peachy and you’re going to get to do the test over anyway?

At the behest of the enlightened ones — most of whom, like yours truly, were psychologists — parents began placing more emphasis on having wonderful relationships with their kids than on providing their kids with proper leadership. As a consequence of putting cart in front of horse, parent-child co-dependency is the norm in today’s families.

Taking all these monkey wrenches into consideration, the motto of the child mental health professions should be: “If people will buy it, so what if it doesn’t work?”

Education standouts

MATT EICH/NEW YORK TIMES

More kids? After the last two years? No thanks

By Emily Gould

New York Times

T

wo children had always been the plan for Anna Carey, and in early 2020 she was getting ready to start trying to conceive. Her daughter had just turned 2, and she and her husband were living happily, albeit far from family, in Toronto, where Carey had a part-time job at a marketing firm.

Of course, we all know what happened next.

With no safe child care options during a pandemic, Carey was forced to quit her marketing job in August 2020 to care for her daughter. What had felt almost certain a few months earlier now seemed unthinkable.

“We couldn’t imagine going through another pregnancy, birth and newborn phase with so few options for support,” she said.

For a while, she still held out hope that the situation would improve before her 35th birthday this July, which for genetic health reasons, she and her husband, Graham, had always considered a cutoff.

The final straw, though, was seeing how the pandemic revealed a glaring lack of structural support for families.

Now, Carey said, she feels sad but resolute about her decision. “The new realization of just how little society values kids and parents — especially mothers — in any way beyond lip service was a major deterrent.”

Certainly, many people have had pandemic babies. Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, whose child care concerns are presumably different from most people’s, will soon have three of them. But for some older millennials who already had one or more children heading into the pandemic, the real stakes of parenting

through some of the worst times to be a parent in recent history have proved to be a potent form of birth control.

Slogging through pandemic life, with all its unpredictable setbacks and derailments — not to mention brushes with existential terror — has had a similar feeling to postpartum life, but without the silver lining of an adorable newborn. Adding an actual newborn to the mix? Forget about it, say some, at least for now, and probably forever. (It’s also worth noting there has long been a gap between the number of children Americans say they want versus the number they end up having.)

There’s another, more straightforward aspect of pandemic birth control: waning fertility. While many aspects of life have felt like they were on hold for two years, time did continue to pass, a meaningful consideration for people who had the tail end of their 30s drip down the drain as they gained dubious new skills in Zoom and sourdough baking. What may have seemed like an exciting possibility to some at, say, 38, seems, at 40, more like a daunting set of fiscal and, for women, physiological hurdles to clear.

For other older parents, the changes wrought by the pandemic helped clarify their limitations, in ways that were painful even as they brought them something akin to wisdom.

Sarah Balcomb, a writer who has a 9-year-old daughter and lives in Lexington, Va., realized she was permanently done with reproduction the way Hemingway once described going broke: gradually, and then all at once.

Balcomb, who is 47, had been trying various fertility treatments for years and, in early 2020, was contemplating a round of in vitro fertilization, which her insurance would cover. But she and her husband adopted a puppy in late

March, and the nighttime trips from crate to yard and back gave her visceral flashbacks to the punishing first months of life with a human newborn.

On the second night, she said, the sleep deprivation produced a revelation. As she went to answer the puppy’s whimpers, “The weight of all of it came crashing down on me,” she said, listing the pandemic, polarized politics, climate change, economic inequality and systemic racism among the reasons. “I knew that night it was over.”

Now, she said, though she has some regrets about her daughter not having a sibling, there is nothing that could change her mind short of a sudden utopia breaking out. “Even if we were superwealthy and could hire full-time help, no thanks. If the planet was miraculously fixed and there was no more war and we were wealthy, well, then …”

And then there are pandemic divorces. Rates went up across the country after the first year of the pandemic (though it’s tough to say, of course, if these were pandemic-related; the bump could be the result of courts having been largely closed). For the parents of young children who didn’t make it through the pandemic with their relationships intact, the prospect of having more children seems much less likely than it once might have.

This was the case for Tully Mills, 40, a former chef and illustrator who lives in Longmont, Colo., with his 21/2-yearold daughter.

“The reality of not having a second kid set in gradually after the first year of COVID,” he said. “Everything was so uncertain, and survival mode was kicking in.” He and his former partner now co-parent happily, but he no longer imagines having more children, even with a future partner.

MANAGEMENT DISTRICT MANAGER

OVERNIGHT DELIVERY DRIVER AND PACKAGING The Santa Fe New Mexican is looking for a dependable person to join our award-winning team as Overnight Delivery Driver and Packaging Support Specialist.

The position combines duties driving vans and box trucks with general labor on the packaging floor in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. No CDL is required for this position; however, the successful applicant must possess and maintain a valid NM Driver’s License and clean driving record.

The balance between floor and driving duties in this position will fluctuate according to variance in production volume and delivery commitments.

A full-time position working overnight Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday, 8:30 pm - 4:30 am.

We print newspapers and other publications at night and then need to get them delivered to our customers. These are bundles and pallets of printed materials, so some heavy lifting or use of a hand truck is needed.

Pick up at our printing facility in Santa Fe and then you’re off to Albuquerque or Clovis or other places in New Mexico.

Of course you need a safe driving record and of course you’ll need to be able to read and verify delivery invoices/bills of lading.
