Gov. campaign pushes license issue Facebook page touts position against immigrant licenses after repeal fails

By Patrick Malone

The New Mexican

With camera flashes popping, TV cameras rolling and reporters’ recorders on Thursday, Gov. Susana Martinez reflected on the legislative session that had just concluded. But she didn’t mention the defeat of legislation that aimed to overturn the law that allows undocumented immigrants to get New Mexico

driver’s licenses. Reporters opened the door for Martinez to discuss the issue by asking her about the session’s disappointments, but she still didn’t mention the failed license law repeal. Where Martinez the governor was silent, however, Martinez the candidate was not.

A Facebook page for Martinez’s campaign urges viewers to sign a petition repealing a law that allows undocumented immigrants to obtain licenses.

COMMENTARY: Lack of transparency leads to suspicion, questions

regarding validity of Olympic scoring system in women’s figure skating By Jeré Longman The New York Times

SOCHI, Russia delina Sotnikova of Russia is a 17-year-old with a teenager’s insatiable appetite. She sees her Olympic gold medal as a mere appetizer on figure skating’s endless buffet. “I want all the gold there is out there, everything that exists in figure skating, in all events, in all competitions,” Sotnikova said Friday at a news conference. She deserved to win, in this view. Sotnikova was more insistent than Yuna Kim of South Korea, more athletic and resourceful and complete, powerful in the short program, refined in the long program.

Above all, Sotnikova was more cleverly attuned to the current scoring system, a rush to gather points with jumps and spins and footwork and artistry, a kind of Easter egg hunt on ice. Sotnikova landed more three-revolution jumps than did Kim. Her spins and her step sequence were judged better. She did not hold back. Kim is a beautiful skater, but she seemed remote at the Sochi Games, admitting that she lacked motivation after winning a gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Games. She seemed not so much disappointed with silver here as relieved that her Olympic career was over. “For me, Adelina was the champion,” said Eteri Tutberidze, the coach of another Russian teenage star, Julia

Yuna Kim

of South Korea took silver, admitting she lacked motivation after winning gold in 2010 Lipnitskaia. “That was the skate of her life. I’ve never seen her as concentrated and focused.” Unfortunately for Sotnikova, her victory has become less a coronation than an autopsy. Her gold medal is certainly defensible, but the opaque judging system is not. The International Skating Union has done a disservice to Sotnikova,

In New Mexico, a photographer declined to take pictures of a lesbian couple’s commitment ceremony. In Washington state, a florist would not provide flowers for a same-sex wedding. And in Colorado, a baker refused to make a cake for a party marking the wedding of two men. In each case, the business owners cited their religious beliefs in declining to provide services celebrating same-sex relationships. And in each case, they were sued. Now, as states around the nation weigh how to balance the rights of same-sex couples with those of conservative religious business owners, Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona must decide whether to sign legislation that would allow business owners to cite religious beliefs as a legal justification for denying service to samesex couples. The legislation, approved by lawmakers Thursday, immediately attracted national attention, with conservative religious groups welcoming it as a necessary form of protection for objectors to same-sex marriage, and gay rights groups denouncing it as a license for discrimination. The measure comes at a time when the courts are grappling with how to define the reli-

Renzi to be Italy’s youngest premier

ROME — Matteo Renzi will be sworn in as Italy’s youngest prime minister ever Saturday after he cobbled together a government he says will change the face of the country’s politics and economy. Renzi, the 39-year-old leader of the center-left Democratic Party, unveiled his government Friday and said the broad coalition will bring hope to the economically stagnant country. After formally accepting the mandate to form the government, Renzi said he will waste no time in enacting reform. “We aim tomorrow morning to immediately do the things that need to get done,” he said. Renzi had been serving as Florence mayor when he engineered a power grab last week to effectively force fellow Democrat, Enrico Letta, to step down after 10 months at the helm of a fragile coalition.

9 dead in palace attack in Somalia MOGADISHU, Somalia — Nine al-Shabab militants wearing military fatigues and carrying guns and grenades died after attacking the presidential palace with two car bombs on Friday, in an assault the president called a “media spectacular” by a “dying animal.” President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was unharmed, but two government officials were killed, the interior ministry said. The attack underscores a worrying new trend in Mogadishu: That despite a period of relative calm following al-Shabab’s ouster from Mogadishu in August 2011, militants have carried out a series of deadly assaults in recent weeks.

Two states want tobacco age raised DENVER — Two Western states with some of the nation’s lowest smoking rates are considering cracking down even more by raising the tobacco age to 21. Utah and Colorado lawmakers both voted favorably on proposals Thursday to treat tobacco like alcohol and take it away from 18- to 20-year-olds, a move inspired by new research on how many smokers start the habit as teenagers. “By raising the age limit, it puts them in a situation where they’re not going to pick it up until a much later age,” said Marla Brannum of Lehi, Utah. In Colorado, the testimony was similar — that pushing the tobacco age could make it harder for teens to access tobacco. “What I’m hoping to do is make it harder for kids to obtain cigarettes,” said Rep. Cheri Gerou, a Republican who sponsored the measure. The Associated Press

Obama to award Medal of Honor to veterans in effort to correct previous bias By Jim Kuhnhenn

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON eeking to correct potential acts of bias spanning three wars, President Barack Obama will award the Medal of Honor to 24 Army veterans following a congressionally mandated review to ensure that eligible recipients were not bypassed due to prejudice. The unusual mass ceremony, scheduled for March 18, will honor veterans, most of Hispanic or Jewish heritage, who had already been recognized with the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation’s second highest military award. The Army conducted the review under a directive from Congress in the 2002 National Defense Authorization Act. The law required that the record of each Jewish American and Hispanic American veteran who received a Service Cross during or after World War II be reviewed for possible upgrade to the Medal of Honor. The Pentagon said the Army reviewed the cases of the recipients of the Distinguished Service Cross from World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars and found an eligible pool of 600 soldiers. The Army also worked with the National Museum of American Jewish Military History, the Jewish War Veterans of the USA and the American GI Forum, the largest Hispanic-American veterans group, to pinpoint medal recipients. Of the 24, eight fought in the Vietnam War, nine in the Korean War and seven in World War II. The three living recipients are all veterans of the Vietnam War:

Cellphones on planes still being debated By Joan Lowy

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It looks like the government is more conflicted about cellphones on planes than most travelers. Even as one federal agency considers allowing the calls, another now wants to make sure that doesn’t happen. Passengers — particularly those who fly often — oppose allowing calls in flight, polls show. In line with that sentiment, the Transportation Department signaled in a notice posted online Friday that it is considering retaining the 23-year-old ban on the calls and asked for public comments. But the notice comes just two months after the Federal Communications Commission voted to pursue lifting the ban. The Transportation Department regulates aviation consumer issues. The FCC has responsibility over whether the use of cellphones in flight would interfere with cellular networks on the ground. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said he wants to repeal the current ban, calling it restrictive and outdated. He also wants the airlines, not the government, to have final say on in-flight calling. He declined to comment Friday on the department’s notice. Echoing some travelers’ concerns, the Transportation Department said it believes allowing passengers to make cellphone calls “may be harmful or injurious” to other passengers. This is because “people tend to talk louder on cellphones than when they’re having face-to-face conversations,” the department said. “They are also likely to talk more and further increase the noise on a flight, as passengers would not be simply talking to the persons sitting next to them but can call whomever they like.” Some planes already have seatback phones in place, but they are rarely used, it said. The “concern is not about individual calls, but rather the cumulative impact of allowing in-flight calls in close quarters,” the department said. In an Associated Press-GfK poll three months ago, 48 percent of those surveyed opposed letting cellphones be used for voice calls while planes are in flight, while 19 percent were in favor and 30 percent were neutral. Among those who’d flown four or more times in the previous year, the rate of opposition soared to 78 percent. The FCC has already received more than 1,200 public comments on its proposal, almost all of them opposed to lifting the ban. Among the most ardent opponents of lifting the current ban are flight attendants, who worry that phone conversation will spark arguments between passengers.

Ukrainian accord resisted Slain beauty queen mourned in Venezuela Watchdog group: Excessive force used against protesters By Ben Fox

The Associated Press

VALENCIA, Venezuela — A university student beauty queen was mourned Friday in the provincial Venezuelan city where she was slain this week during a political protest, a victim of what government opponents say is indiscriminate violence used by President Nicolas Maduro and his supporters to stifle dissent across the country. Family members and friends of 22-year-old Genesis Carmona say the former Miss Tourism 2013 for the central Venezuelan state of Carabobo was shot by members of the armed militias known as colectivos, who opened fire on a demonstration in Valencia on Tuesday. The government says the incident is under investigation, and Maduro said at a news conference Friday that it has been “well-established” by ballistics experts that the shot came from the opposition protesters. Mourners for Carmona said they have no doubt which side fired the fatal round. “She wanted to support her country and, well, look what it cost her for going out with a flag and a whistle. Killed by government mercenaries,” said Jose Gil, Carmona’s uncle. The violence drew condemnation Friday from U.S.-based watchdog group Human Rights Watch, which said “Venezuelan security forces have used excessive and unlawful force against protesters on multiple occasions since February 12,

2014, including beating detainees and shooting at crowds of unarmed people.” The report also said “the government has censored the news media, blocking transmission of a TV channel and threatening to prosecute news outlets for their coverage of the violence.” CNN said Friday four of its journalists were notified by the Information Ministry that they are no longer allowed to report in the country. They include CNN en Español anchor Patricia Janiot. The U.S. State Department also issued a warning Friday to U.S. citizens in Venezuela to “maintain a low profile and to avoid all areas of civil disruption.”

Maduro has insisted that the protesters are “fascist” elements intent on fomenting a coup and pledged to crack down. On Thursday, a judge determined there was enough evidence to detain opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who surrendered to authorities a day earlier. The charges against Lopez include arson and criminal incitement related to a massive Feb. 12 rally. People at Carmona’s service who were also at Tuesday’s rally said they saw a group of up to 50 men on motorcycles, armed with handguns, fire directly into the crowd of about 3,000 demonstrators, setting off a panicked stampede through the street. “We were protesting peacefully and this was like a war,” said Emilio Morillo, an 18-yearold university student. Carmona, who was in her final year in a marketing program at a university in Valencia, was not ardently political, friends and family said. Her uncle said she was drawn to the rally by the dismal economic conditions in the oil-rich country. “There’s no food, no milk, no baby food. … It is horrible what is happening in this country,” Gil said. “That’s why she was out at the protest.”

ruler Russia. Hours after the deal was signed, Ukraine’s parliament voted to restore the 2004 constitution that limits presidential authority, clawing back some of the powers that Yanukovych had pushed through for himself after being elected in 2010. Parliament then voted to fire the interior minister, Vitali Zakharchenko, who is widely despised and blamed for ordering police violence, including the snipers who killed scores of protesters Thursday in Kiev, the capital that has been nearly paralyzed by the protests. Then the parliament, which once was overwhelmingly pro-Yanukovych, took the bold move of approving a measure that could free arch-rival Tymoshenko, who has served more than two years on a conviction of abuse of office, charges that domestic and Western critics have denounced as a political vendetta.

License: Attempts to overthrow law failed for third year in a row Continued from Page A-1 Her re-election campaign’s Facebook account pushed out a message to followers Friday touting her position that New Mexico should repeal the immigrant driver’s license law. A New Mexico immigrant rights group accused Martinez of politicizing a question that’s already been settled in order to raise money for her campaign. “The verdict is clearly in, with more and more states following New Mexico’s lead on immigrant driver’s licenses,” said Marcela Díaz of Somos un Pueblo Unido. “We stood up to [Martinez’s] political bullying for three years, and it’s becoming increasingly obvious to the Legislature and hopefully to voters that this is nothing but a political game. She is trying to raise money on the backs of immigrants, and she’s trying to appeal to an anti-immigrant base. It’s a great wedge issue that she’s using as a fundraising ploy. All of this is really shameful. We’re tired of it, the Legislature is tired of it, and I think the voters are, too.” Legislative attempts to overturn the law failed for the third straight year, and Díaz says political will behind that movement has faded, except

should be repealed, a stance he says she has never shied away from. “Since she was a candidate for governor in 2009, until now, her fourth year as New Mexico’s chief executive, Susana Martinez has spoken to the dangerous consequences of giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants,” said Danny Diaz, no relation to Marcela Díaz. Martinez had emphasized her preference to overturn the law during her State of the State speech in January. And apparently, she will beat that drum again on the campaign trail. “This fall, voters will have a choice,” Danny Diaz said. “Do they support a candidate who believes giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, creating a well-established public safety Gov.

gious rights of private businesses: The Supreme Court is to hear two cases next month in which businesses are seeking exemptions from providing insurance coverage for contraception to their employees, citing the religious beliefs of the companies’ owners. “In America, people should be free to live and work according to their faith, and the government shouldn’t be able to tell us we can’t do that,” said Joseph E. La Rue, the legal counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal organization based in Scottsdale, Ariz., that advocates for religious liberty and supports the measure passed by the state Legislature. “Faith shouldn’t be something we have to leave inside our house.” But civil libertarians and gay rights advocates say there is a difference between protections for clergy and houses of worship that do not want to participate in samesex marriage and the obligations of business owners who serve the general public. About 250 protesters gathered outside the state Capitol Friday, holding signs with messages such as “This is Ridiculous” and “What About Love Thy Neighbor?” Another protest was planned in Tucson, where a march to Brewer’s southern Arizona office was planned. “Religious freedom is a fundamental right, but it’s not a blank

check to harm others or impose our faith on our neighbors,” said Daniel Mach, who directs a program on freedom of religion and belief for the American Civil Liberties Union, which opposes the Arizona legislation. “Over the years, we as a nation have rejected efforts to invoke religion to justify discrimination in the marketplace, and there’s no reason to turn back the clock now.” Brewer, who has taken no public position on the legislation that will reach her desk next week, is a Republican whose tenure has been punctuated by controversy and political discord over a tough measure on illegal immigrants, which was denounced from the left, and a Medicaid expansion, which was criticized by the right. Last year, she vetoed a similar religious freedom bill, arguing that it was a distraction from priorities lawmakers had yet to address, including the state budget. And there are similar circumstances this year, as legislators have yet to act on a package of proposed changes to the state’s child welfare system, which has been plagued by a slow response to complaints of abuse and neglect. Chuck Coughlin, a public affairs consultant who led Brewer’s transition team after she was elected governor in 2009 and has remained a close ally, said he was doubtful that she would sign the bill into law, saying, “We already have laws to sufficiently protect people’s religion freedoms in this country, and this

been scored correctly that it would have been any different,” said Kurt Browning, a four-time world champion from Canada. The Russians were unapologetic Friday. If controversy swirled elsewhere, there was only celebration inside the Olympic bubble. “We are following the rules that the modern game was offering,” said Peter Tchernyshev, Sotnikova’s choreographer and a former five-time U.S. ice dancing champion. “We won this game.”

Bill: Brewer vetoed similar legislation last year Continued from Page A-1

The Martinez campaign’s Facebook page has more than 82,000 fans, and Susana PAC’s Twitter feed has more than 11,000 followers. “We believe social media is a great way to engage New Mexicans,” Danny Diaz said. Another Twitter feed, whose origin is not apparent, alludes to even grander aspirations for Martinez than the 2014 New Mexico gubernatorial race. The biography associated with the account, @martinez4prez, reads: “Our mission is to raise awareness of New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, a solid conservative who can beat [Democrat] Hillary [Clinton] in 2016.” More than 31,000 Twitter users follow the account. In its email response Friday to The New Mexican’s questions, Martinez’s gubernatorial campaign did not answer whether it has any ties to that account.

bill could actually empower people to discriminate.” The bill comes at an awkward time for Brewer, who has been eager to move beyond controversy in her last year in office. (Term limits prevent her from running for re-election.) She has tried to focus on revitalizing the state’s economy, which is struggling in spite of a rebound of the housing market. The state, which was boycotted by some over the immigration measure, is preparing to host next year’s Super Bowl, and some residents worry that the religious freedom measure could again spur a backlash. In a letter to Brewer on Friday, Gonzalo A. de la Melena Jr., president and chief executive of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said the bill, if it becomes law, would “ultimately have the effect of casting Arizona in a negative light that stands to damage our reputation nationwide and globally and significantly harm our fiscal future.” It was just one in a chorus of pleas that the governor veto the legislation. Greater Phoenix Economic Council President and CEO Barry Broome urged the governor to veto the bill and said four companies have already put their plans to open facilities in Arizona on hold until they see if the bill becomes law. The impact could mean the potential loss of “thousands of jobs,” Broome said.

“This is coming out of left field … from a bunch of demagogues who don’t care about Arizona’s future,” Broome said. “I think the political consequences are gonna be greater than people might think.” “It sounds like it’s opening the door to hate and bigotry of all stripes,” said Rocco DiGrazia, a Tucson pizzeria owner, who on Friday attracted national attention via social media because he had posted signs on the restaurant’s doors declaring, “We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to Arizona Legislators.” “I make dinner for a living — I’m not a social activist,” DiGrazia said in a telephone interview. “But I do have a lot of gay customers and employees, and why are you trying to alienate these people?” But supporters of the legislation said they would also work hard to persuade Brewer to sign the measure, in part by disputing much of the criticism it has faced. “The world’s on its ear,” said Rep. John Allen, R-Scottsdale, who supported the bill. “It’s alien to me that a business owner can’t reflect his faith in his business.” Most states where same-sex marriage is legal have exemptions for religious organizations, but not for private businesses or individuals, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The Arizona measure comes as multiple states are considering such exemptions. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

were all found safe with their parents. Friday’s agreement settles a complaint the owners of the Sierra County ranch filed against CYFD, accusing the department of violating search and seizure rules and overstepping its authority. Under the settlement, the ranch agreed not to use “mechanical restraints” on youth whose parents enroll them in the program. Instead, the agreement states, the ranch may use a “secure room or tent” if a resident of the program poses an imminent risk to himself or others. The ranch also agreed to give the department access to underage residents and their files without notice, and it must report all illnesses, injuries and allegations of client abuse, neglect or exploitation. The ranch normally is not subject to state oversight because it is not one of the types of programs CYFD is authorized to regulate. Several pieces of legislation aimed at clarifying the relationship between CYFD and “wilderness” programs such as the one at Tierra Blanca Ranch were introduced during the recent legislative session, but none passed. Department spokesman Henry Varela said Friday the settlement is a “12-month fix that will take us into the next legislative session, where we can revisit a law that would give us oversight over any type of program like Tierra Blanca Ranch.” The 30,000-acre ranch‚ which is owned by husband and wife Scott and Colette Chandler, issued a written statement about the settlement Friday. The statement says the agreement doesn’t alter methods used in the youth program, which has been operating since 1997 — and until this year, has never been the subject of litigation. “We originally proposed in the early years of the program to utilize a safe room methodology,” the statement says. “We were informed at the time we could not use a safe room and were instructed instead to use mechanical restraints. With this settlement, we come full circle and are returned to our initial position. It’s very unfortunate such a simple agreement arrived at great cost to our program and an already battered agency.” The ranch is the defendant in several pending civil lawsuits filed by parents of former participants of the program, including one filed by the parents of 19-year-old Bruce Staeger, who died in a truck rollover there last fall and one filed by the parents of a 16-year-old boy who claim the youth was abused and exploited at the ranch. The suit filed by the parents of the 16-year-old also names CYFD as a defendant and claims the agency failed to address allegations of abuse at the ranch that date back to 2006. No criminal charges have been filed against the ranch or its employees. The Sierra County Sheriff’s Office began investigating allegations of abuse at the ranch in 2012. In May, the case was turned over to the New Mexico State Police. The results of that investigation have since been forwarded to Sierra County District Attorney Clint Wellborn’s office. Wellborn said recently a lot of work still needs to be done on the case, and he couldn’t comment because it is still under investigation.

CELAYA, Mexico — Mexico is on track to become the United States’ No. 1 source of imported cars by the end of next year, overtaking Japan and Canada in a manufacturing boom that’s turning the auto industry into a bigger source of dollars than money sent home by migrants. The boom is raising hopes that Mexico can create enough new jobs to pull millions out of poverty as northbound migration slows sharply, but critics caution that most of the new car jobs are low-skill and pay too little. Mexico’s low and stagnant wages have kept the poverty rate between 40 percent and 50 percent since the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement two decades ago. An $800 million Honda plant that opened Friday in the central state of Guanajuato will produce more than 200,000 Fit hatchbacks and compact sport-utility vehicles a year, helping push total Mexican car exports to the U.S. to 1.7 million in 2014, roughly 200,000 more

than Japan, consulting firm IHS Automotive says. And with another big plant starting next week, Mexico is expected to surpass Canada for the top spot by the end of 2015. “It’s a safe bet,” said Eduardo Solis, president of the Mexican Automotive Industry Association. “Mexico is now one of the major global players in car manufacturing.” When NAFTA was signed two decades ago, Mexico produced 6 percent of the cars built in North America. It now provides 19 percent. Total Mexican car production has risen 39 percent from 2007, to nearly 3 million cars a year. The total value of Mexico’s car exports surged from $40 billion to $70.6 billion over that span. “I congratulate Honda for its having confidence in Mexico, for having total confidence in the development of our country,” said Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, who attended the opening of the plant in the town of Celaya along with Honda CEO Takanobu Ito. “They’re contributing to two basic objectives, generating wealth and creating jobs in this country.” Manufacturing in Mexico is now cheaper than in many places in China, though the vast majority of the cars and trucks

made in North America are still produced in the U.S. for domestic consumption and export to other countries. And many of the vehicles built in Mexico are assembled with parts that are produced in the United States and Canada and cross the border without tariffs under NAFTA. “There was a realization that there were some structural issues that had to be resolved in the auto industry to make it more competitive again. Moving parts, not all of the production, to Mexico was a good way to deal with that,” said Christopher Wilson, an expert in U.S.Mexico economic relations for

the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Mexico’s government and the car industry say the automotive industry has become the primary source of foreign currency for Mexico, surpassing oil exports and remittances from immigrants in the United States. Migration to the U.S. has slowed dramatically in recent years, though experts attribute that mostly to tougher enforcement and a slower U.S. economy. Despite successes such as the car-making boom, Mexico still isn’t creating nearly enough formal jobs for the hundreds of thousands of people entering the workforce each year.

Provision LOCAL NEWS on teacher Scottish Rite Center open until Nov. pay creates uncertainty Foundation president says facility will not close June 30 By Anne Constable The New Mexican

A representative of the board that operates the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in downtown Santa Fe said Friday that the facility will be available for public use from April 1 to Nov. 1, after all. A real estate broker who is the listing agent for the property said earlier this week that public events would cease after June 30 in order to avoid any scheduling conflicts between people leasing the space and potential buyers of the property. The pink Moorish Revival-style building at the corner of Paseo de Peralta and Bishops Lodge Road has been on the market for nearly a year. This week, the foundation low-

ered its asking price from $8.4 million to $6.9 million. The facility will shut down Nov. 1, said Ralph Easley, president of board of the New Mexico Scottish Rite Foundation. For now, the temple remains open for tours by appointment; call 982-4414. Masonic temples across the country, like Lodge of Perfection No. 1 in Santa Fe, are being re-purposed by community organizations and developers. The buildings, many with ornate architectural elements, have been turned into luxury condominiums, event spaces and even retail shops. The ancient fraternal organization, which counted George Washington and Benjamin Franklin among its members, is facing declining membership. The temple here had some 6,000 members in the 1960s, Easley said. Today there are about 960. Nationwide, membership is down to about 1 million from about 4 million in the 1950s.

Teachers are in line for a possible $2,000 increase in their base salaries under a $6 billion spending plan approved by the Legislature, but there’s some uncertainty over the raise. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez could veto a budget provision intended to make sure local districts implement the higher salaries. An educational union leader said Friday he hoped Martinez accepts the Legislature’s directive over teacher pay. Martinez has indicated that she’ll Gov. Susana likely sign the budget but might use Martinez her line-item veto powers to cut some proposed spending. The governor has until March 12 to decide whether to sign or veto legislation passed by lawmakers. Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell said no decisions have been made on possible line-item vetoes in the budget. The governor vetoed budget language last year that’s similar to what the Democratic-controlled Legislature included this session on pay raises for educators. Lawmakers approved about $70 million for compensation for public school workers in the latest budget proposal. That’s enough for local districts to provide an average 3 percent pay raise for all

The state’s embattled child welfare agency said Friday it’s concerned about the Legislature’s failure to clarify a law requiring the reporting of suspected child abuse and neglect to authorities. Without a “crystal clear” law, New Mexico’s children are being put at risk, said Henry Varela, a spokesman for the state Children, Youth and Families Department. “CYFD will continue to take every opportunity to encourage all citizens of New Mexico, regardless of their profession, to report any concerns of child abuse or neglect,” Varela said Friday. All the agency can do, for now, is hope people call its hotline if they suspect a child is being abused or neglected. Despite a number of recent abuse cases highlighting problems with the state’s overwhelmed child welfare system, several measures stalled during the 30-day legislative session that ended Thursday. Some bills aimed to fix a legal loophole created by a recent court decision that narrowed the list of people who must report suspected cases of abuse and neglect. In a decision issued in November, the Court of Appeals said only 10 categories of people, including physicians, nurses and teachers, must contact authorities about suspected abuse. Including everyone on that list is what lawmakers originally intended, said House Minority Whip Nate Gentry, an Albuquerque Republican. “It’s clearly on the books,” Gentry said. “I think there are some things that are just so important from a public policy perspective, like protecting abused kids. This is one of those instances where you should require people to be good Samaritans.”

House majority leader announces he won’t run again Veteran Democrat Miera: It’s time to pass torch to younger legislators By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

House Majority Leader Rick Miera on Friday became the latest member of the New Mexico House of Representatives to announce he won’t seek re-election, setting the stage for a leadership shake-up. Contacted Friday after his retirement was announced in a news

release from House Democrats, Miera didn’t give a specific reason for why he’s leaving. “It’s just time for me to move on,” said Miera, a 24-year veteran of the House, who became majority leader just last year when his predecessor, Rep. Kenny Martinez, D-Grants, succeeded the late Ben Luján as speaker. “I’ve been [in the Legislature] a long time. It’s time to open it up to younger, community-oriented legislators.” Miera’s announcement came a day after the 2014 Legislature adjourned. He told The New Mexican that he’d been thinking of retiring from the Roundhouse since last November but

waited to make the announcement. At least three other House members aren’t running this year. During the session, Reps. Tom Taylor, R-Farmington, and Nate Cote, D-Las Rick Miera Cruces, announced they won’t be running again. Before the Legislature convened in January, Rep. Henry “Kiki” Saavedra, D-Albuquerque, already had announced this would be his final session. Miera said he waited until the session ended to make his announcement

because he didn’t want his impending retirement to be a distraction. Miera said he was not backing anyone in particular to get the position, but several members already were positioning themselves. “The calls are already coming in,” he said. The person next in line among the House Democratic leadership is Antonio “Moe” Maestas, who serves as whip. Maestas on Friday wouldn’t directly say that he was running, but he didn’t close the door on the possibility. Maestas said he’s mainly interested in helping Democratic House candidates across the state win in November. But he added that he’s will-

ing to serve if the caucus wants him. If Maestas does seek Miera’s position, that would open up the Democratic whip’s position in the House. Asked Friday about the possibility of running for a House leadership position, Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, said in an email, “I would consider any opportunities that present themselves, but I am going to be totally focused for the next nine months on maintaining and growing the Democratic majority in the House. Any talk about majority leader is both premature and presumptuous.” Another name frequently men-

New Mexico in the 1830s, tells us that one morning the caravan cook unwittingly kindled a campfire in the midst of parched grass and “it spread with wonderful rapidity.” Fortunately, it broke out leeward of the wagons, so the wind blew the blaze away from the train. But the incident vividly demonstrated to Gregg and his companions that they ought to avoid camping in thick grass, lest Comanches set it afire and use the smoke to cover an attack. On another trip, Gregg’s caravan was chased by an approaching prairie fire, and it escaped just in time by reaching a bare stretch of country, devoid of grass. “These conflagrations,” he wrote, “are enough to inspire terror and daunt the stoutest heart.” Capt. Randolph B. Marcy, leading a military expedition across the Southwest in the 1850s, had an experience similar to Gregg’s. One of his soldiers carelessly caught the grass on fire,

threatening the supply wagons. He declared that only the most strenuous efforts by his 200 men in setting counter fires around the train saved the expedition from disaster. Great danger, he said, came from troops throwing a lighted match or ashes from a pipe into the grass while marching. Matches were just then coming into general use, so that was a new problem. When a prairie fire struck, various steps could be taken in the emergency. Marcy mentioned one, setting a counter or back fire. The hope was when the two fires met, the progress of both would be checked and they would die out. Another remedy was to turn out all hands and, using wet sacks and blankets, try to beat down the advancing edge of the fire. A few years ago, I saw this method used against a blaze in the Flint Hills of central Kansas. It only works if there is little or

no wind. Homesteaders on the plains of Eastern New Mexico or the Texas Panhandle had a practice that provided them a small margin of safety. They would plow a “fire guard” about 6 yards wide around their farmhouses and hope that a prairie fire would not leap this narrow barrier. In fact, the fires often did. Sometimes they even jumped across fairly wide streams and rivers. The Arkansas River was one water course on the southern plains that could nearly always be counted on to stop a fire, but smaller ones were not so effective. In the old days, the frequency of prairie fires actually kept the grasslands in good condition. They also prevented the invasion of trees and kept out the woody shrubs like mesquite that prove so destructive to the natural grasses. Early travelers on the plains often spoke of the almost total absence of timber,

except on islands in the Arkansas that were protected from periodic fires. With the open country now tamed by agriculture and ranching, and fires rare and small scale, trees line the banks of many Southwestern rivers, giving the landscape a much different appearance from that of a hundred years ago. Quite a few of the early-day journals and memoirs left by Westerners present firsthand accounts of experiences with the destructive forces of prairie fires. Collecting those stories would provide material for an interesting book, one that could remind us anew of the hazards pioneer settlers faced. Now in semi-retirement, author Marc Simmons wrote a weekly history column for more than 35 years. The New Mexican is publishing reprints from among the more than 1,800 columns he produced during his career.

With dues around $150 a year, the lodge can’t afford the overhead on its massive temple, which contains about 44,000 square feet of interior space. The building, erected in 1912, includes a theater with handpainted backdrops, a commercial kitchen, several dormitories, a red tile roof and carved arches. Like most Masonic temples, the poured concrete structure is sound. The global fraternal organization, after all, has its roots in masonry, and members saw to it that the building was well maintained over the years. But the costs are high, beyond the resources of the organization, Easley said. And the multistory building, which is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, doesn’t perfectly suit the size of the current organization and the age of its members. Around the U.S., the Masons have built smaller, more modern structures to replace the intricately carved temples of the 1920s and ’30s. Easley said Tom Payne, the sovereign grand inspector general, who leads the statewide organization, polled the members of Lodge of Perfection No. 1, some of whom live in Southern New Mexico, over whether to put the 100-year-old building up for sale. According to Easley, the margin was 60-40 in favor of selling. The six-member foundation board made the final decision. The center has been an affordable venue for nonprofit benefits, concerts and weddings, but the price will be going up. Easley said it will cost $4,000 to rent the kitchen, dining room and auditorium. (No cooking is allowed there because of insurance stipulations, so events with food require caterers.) Easley said the rate was raised when the center realized its fees were below market value. Lodges in Manhattan and Bath, N.Y.; Columbus, Ohio; Champaign, Ill.; Newport, R.I.; Dallas and Los Angeles have been renovated in recent years by developers who have used the terrazzo floors, high ceilings, spiral staircases and stainedglass windows as selling points. The Scottish Rite Center in Santa Fe is considered a “significant structure” under city historic preservation rules, which could limit changes to its exterior. But Maureen Mestas, the broker with Sotheby’s International Realty, said a buyer could ask the Historic Districts Review Board for changes, as the Drury Hotels group did after it bought the old downtown hospital property, which the company is refashioning into a hotel.

CYFD: High court might settle reporting issue Continued from Page A-6 Gentry and Rep. Gail Chasey, an Albuquerque Democrat, said they are hopeful the Supreme Court will settle the reporting issue when it reviews the lower court ruling. However, it’s not clear whether that will happen before lawmakers meet again next January. Several lawmakers whose bills stalled this year said they plan to work over the next several months to find ways to improve the state’s systems

for dealing with child abuse and neglect. Chasey said that could include taking alternative approaches that address some of the root causes of abuse, such as poverty, substance abuse and parenting resources. Other child advocates said staffing shortages at CYFD will have to be addressed before things begin to change. The agency deals with 32,000 to 34,000 reports a year. About half of those end up being screened for investigation.

school employees and boost minimum teacher salaries by $2,000. The budget directs the secretary of the Public Education Department to ensure that schools provide the higher pay. The agency is to do that as part of a yearly review of budgets submitted by New Mexico’s 89 school districts. “All of that has to be enforced through the budget review process. If it’s not, then it’s totally discretionary whether it happens or not,” said Charles Bowyer, executive director of the National Education Association New Mexico. Lawmakers made it next to impossible for the governor to veto money for teacher pay raises, however. Money for compensation is part of a $2.5 billion lump sum that’s distributed to districts through the state’s school funding formula. However, local districts decide how to spend money that flows through the funding formula. That’s why lawmakers added a salary directive in the budget. The governor has the option of vetoing the entire $2.5 billion for school opera-

tions, but she couldn’t unilaterally reduce it by a specific amount to eliminate only money for pay raises. If the governor vetoed the budget language on salaries, the money for raises would remain. But it would be left to local school districts to decide how much should go for pay increases, according to Bowyer. He said collective bargaining by unions and local schools also will govern salaries. Not all districts have union contracts, however. State law requires that entrylevel teachers be paid at least $30,000 for a standard nineand-a-half month contract. A “level two” teacher must be paid $40,000, and the most experienced teachers receive $50,000. A bill died in the legislative session that would have changed the law to phase in

$10,000 salary increases over five years. The money in the budget was to cover the first installment of those teacher raises, said Rep. Mimi Stewart, an Albuquerque Democrat and chairwoman of the House Education Committee. She plans to push again next year for a change in law to require the higher salaries — $40,000, $50,000 and $60,000 — by 2018-19. But Stewart said she’s confident teachers will get $2,000 increases in the coming school year because of the budget money.

Odd flu season reminds adults how serious virus can be By Mike Stobbe

The Associated Press

A bumblebee alights on the bloom of a thistle in Berlin, Vt., on July 5, 2011. Increasingly sick domesticated honeybee populations are infecting the world’s wild bumblebees, a new study in the journal Nature finds. It’s a problem because wild bees handle a big chunk of pollination for food, such as coffee, tomatoes and blueberries. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

Bumblebees feel sting of disease

Critical wild pollinators suffer as pathogens spill over from domesticated cousins’ hives By Seth Borenstein

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON ild bumblebees worldwide are in trouble, likely contracting deadly diseases from their commercialized honeybee cousins, a new study shows. That’s a problem even though bumblebees aren’t trucked from farm to farm like honeybees. They provide a significant chunk of the world’s pollination of flowers and food, especially greenhouse tomatoes, insect experts said. And the ailments are hurting bumblebees even more, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. “Wild populations of bumblebees appear to be in significant decline across Europe, North America, South America and also in Asia,” said study author Mark Brown of the

University of London. He said his study confirmed that a major source of the decline was “the spillover of parasites and pathogens and disease” from managed honeybee hives. Smaller studies have shown disease going back and forth between the two kinds of bees. Brown said his is the first to look at the problem in a larger countrywide scale and include three diseases and parasites. The study tracked nearly 750 bees in 26 sites throughout Great Britain. And it also did lab work on captive bees to show disease spread. What the study shows is that “the spillover for bees is turning into [a] boilover,” University of Illinois entomology professor May Berenbaum, who wasn’t part of the study, said in an email. Study co-author Matthias Furst of the University of London said the team’s research does not definitely prove the diseases go from honeybees to bumblebees. But the evidence points heavily in that direction because virus levels and infection rates are higher in the honeybees, he said. Bumblebees probably pick up diseases when they go to flowers after infected honey-

bees, Furst said. And sometimes bumblebees invade honeybee hives and steal nectar, getting diseases that way, he added. Bumblebees can be nearly twice as big as honeybees, can sting multiple times and don’t produce surplus honey, like honeybees. The latest research shows bumblebees are hurt more by disease, Brown said. In general, the average wild bumblebee lives 21 days, but the infected ones live closer to 15 days, he said. And while honeybee hives have tens of thousands of workers and can afford to lose some, bumblebee hives only have hundreds at the most. “It’s like Wal-Mart versus a mom-and-pop store,” Berenbaum said in an interview. Studies have shown that bumblebees provide $3 billion worth of fruit and flower pollination in the United States, while honeybees are closer to $20 billion, Berenbaum said. The new study did not look at colony collapse disorder, which is more of a mysterious problem in North America than elsewhere. Other diseases and parasites have killed even more honeybees than the more recent colony collapse disorder.

Wind poised to become major energy source E/The Environmental Magazine

Question: What is the latest prognosis for wind energy to command a larger piece of the renewable energy pie? Peter M., Akron, Ohio Answer: Hydroelectric sources of power dwarf other forms of renewable energy, but wind power has been a dominant second for years, and it continues to show “hockey stick” growth moving forward. According to the Global Wind Energy Council, global cumulative installed wind capacity — the total amount of wind power available — has grown 50-fold in less than two decades, from just 6,100 megawatts in 1996 to 318,137 MW in 2013. And the future looks brighter still. Analysts from Bloomberg New Energy Finance predict that wind will account for the largest share — 30 percent — of new renewables added to the global power grid by 2030. That new renewables are expected to account for as much as 70 percent of all new power sources over the next 20 years means that wind is poised to become a major player on the global energy scene. Here in the U.S., energy generated by domestic wind farms has nearly tripled in just the past four years, despite a brief hiccup due to a lapse in the Production Tax Credit, a renewable energy pro-

duction incentive that effectively subsidizes the creation of more wind farms. But even despite this, wind represented about a third of all new power added to the U.S. grid over the past five years. The Natural Resources Defense Council, a leading environmental nonprofit and wind power advocate, forecasts that the U.S. will derive some 20 percent of its total electricity production from wind by 2030. “The U.S. industry has many reasons for favorable long-term prospects,” reports the American Wind Energy Association, a nonprofit trade group representing

the wind industry. “In addition to the record activity at the end of 2013, wind energy helped keep the lights on and insulate against temporary price spikes during the recent ‘polar vortex’ cold weather snap, demonstrating the value of wind power in a balanced energy portfolio.” The American Wind Energy Association also points out recent reports showing how incorporation of wind energy lowers costs for electric consumers. “And critical to some parts of the country facing continuing drought, wind energy uses no water in its production, as well as releasing no

emissions,” adds the group. The fact that wind energy in the U.S. avoids some 100 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually is also good news. The American Wind Energy Association adds that that number will grow as wind energy scales up to 20 percent of the grid and beyond “making the addition of more wind power one of the fastest, cheapest and largest-scale ways for states to meet the administration’s new goals for reducing carbon pollution from power plants.” While wind continues to grow fast, solar may finally be catching up. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, some 36.7 gigawatts of new solar photovoltaic capacity were added worldwide in 2013 compared with 35.5 GW worth of new wind power installations. Bloomberg New Energy Finance adds that global demand for wind turbines may actually shrink in 2014 (by 5 percent), representing the first such decline since 2004. But Justin Wu, head of wind analysis for Bloomberg New Energy Finance, says it’s just a temporary blip. “Falling technology costs, new markets and the growth of the offshore industry will ensure wind remains a leading renewable energy technology,” Wu said.

ATLANTA — Flu season seems to be winding down, and it’s been an odd one. It hasn’t been as bad as last year and the vaccine worked a little better. And it has been a fairly mild one for the elderly — traditionally the most vulnerable group. But it’s been a different story for young and middleage adults, who have been hit harder than expected because of a surge in swine flu. Most flu seasons, only one-third of the people who land in the hospital with the flu are adults ages 18-64. This winter, they have accounted for two-thirds, most of them adults who were obese or had another ailment. The numbers “are painful reminders that flu can be serious for anyone, not just infants and the very old,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC released new information Thursday about the flu season, which started around midDecember, a bit earlier than usual, and apparently peaked by mid-January. Last winter, it started even earlier. For weeks, flu has been waning in some parts of the country, although health officials say there’s still a lot of flu virus going around and flu season is capable of getting a second wind. One way the CDC measures the flu’s severity is by rates of hospitalizations for flu and its complications. Overall, they have been only half what they were last winter despite the higher rates in younger adults. Health officials say that’s because the flu strain that is making most people sick this winter is swine flu, or H1N1. That kind first showed up in 2009 and caused a global pandemic that was particularly dangerous to younger adults. Since then, the virus has been around each winter but mostly has been a backstage presence. Experts say the virus hasn’t mutated. It’s simply encountering a lot of younger adults who never were infected before and haven’t been vaccinated, said CDC flu expert Dr. Joseph Bresee. The annual flu vaccine is modified each year, and swine flu is now included in the mix of seasonal strains. Working-age adults have the lowest vaccination rates, CDC officials noted. Among infectious diseases, flu is considered one of the nation’s leading killers. On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the CDC. The agency doesn’t keep an exact count of flu deaths. But health officials estimates that 60 percent of flu deaths this season have been in people ages 25 to 64, similar to the numbers from 2009-2010. The government also released data on this year’s flu vaccine. A flu vaccine that’s 60 percent to 70 percent effective in the U.S. is considered pretty good and this year’s figure — 61 percent — falls in that range.

Rodeo Road reopens after In brief to honor fire cleanup forces closure Sipapu late founder

Cause of blaze at woodworking, furniture business unknown By Chris Quintana

The New Mexican

A south-side blaze shut down Rodeo Road between Old Pecos Trail and Sawmill Road on Friday morning while crews cleaned up a Thursday night fire that destroyed a commercial building a few blocks east of the Rodeo Road and St. Francis Drive intersection. The Santa Fe Office of Emergency Management said the road was closed between 7 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Friday. Andrew Phelps, the city’s emergency manager, said the fire started between 9:30 and 10 p.m. Thursday at a woodworking and furniture business, Hands of America. Phelps said about 40 firefighters responded to the blaze. No one was injured during the fire. The fire’s cause was still under investigation. Phelps said the building was engulfed in flames by the time crews arrived. It appears only one building on the property caught fire, although insulation on a second building was damaged. On Friday morning, the rubble still smoldered. Tractors roared and chain saws buzzed as fire crews cleared a path through a cluster of piñon trees to get better access to extinguish the few remaining hot pockets. The building was at least 100 yards away from the nearest fire hydrant, and

Phelps said crews struggled to reach the fire. Also on the property were piles of splintered wood and dry pieces of antique furniture — plenty of fuel, had firefighters not contained the blaze, Phelps said. “It really could have been a lot worse,” he said. Fire crews also had to cut several holes in neighbor Martha Canon’s fence to get equipment to the scene of the fire. She said she wasn’t home at the time, but Canon, who was lived in the neighborhood for 50-plus years, was grateful when she learned the fire was contained. “I kissed the ground,” Canon said. “I kissed the house and I kissed the truck.” Contact Chris Quintana at 986-3093.

Bolander, 86, died Jan. 20 at his home in Vadito, a few miles from the ski area he opened 62 years ago. “My dad defined what it meant to love to ski and to share that love for skiing with others,” said his son, Bruce Bolander. “Our family is looking forward to this day where we can remember him here, at this mountain he called home.” A portion of lift ticket proceeds will go to the Bolander Fund, which the family started to help youth ski programs. Contributions to the Bolander

Fund also may be sent to: Taos Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1925, Taos, NM 87571. Contributions may be made at taoscf. org. The resort expects to make the Lloyd Bolander Memorial Day an annual event.

Two arrested outside bank The Santa Fe Police Department made two arrests outside a downtown bank Friday morning. Lt. Louis Carlos, a spokesman with the department, said officers arrived at the U.S. Bank, 201 Washington Ave., at 10:58 a.m. after receiving a call from bank employees about a green Mazda sedan that been parked outside the bank for more than 20 minutes. They found three people inside the car, one with a bandanna over his face and a BB gun with the safety tip removed. None of the individuals in the car had been arrested or charged with bank robbery as of Friday afternoon. But officers did arrest one of the occupants, William Wagner, 24, of Santa Fe, on a probation violation and another, Emily Sawyer-Hesch, 28, of Santa Fe, on check fraud charges.

Funeral services and memorials PHILIP M. SMITH Philip M. Smith, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, died on February 16 after a brief illness. A leader in national and international science and technology policy and in the management of federally sponsored research and development for more than five decades, Mr. Smith was Director of the National Research Council of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering for thirteen years in the 1980s and 1990s, and remained active on Academy committees after his retirement. He previously was an Associate Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Ford and Carter administrations, and branch chief for science at the Office of Management and Budget during the Nixon administration. From 1959 through 1971 he directed polar and oceanographic research at the National Science Foundation. He was a glaciologist in the International Geophysical Year in 1957-1958, and was centrally involved in the organization of the U.S. Antarctic Research Program that followed the IGY. In his early years, he was active in cave exploration, and helped establish the Cave Research Foundation. Mr. Smith was an active outdoorsman, and throughout his life explored the rivers and mountains of the American West, Alaska, the Appalachians, and Africa. He was a member of the team that famously staged in 1960, in New Zealand-designed jet boats, the first and only up-canyon run of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. An ardent supporter of the arts, he was a theatre, classical music and dance devotee, and an avid art collector. Mr. Smith was especially interested in the work of the Washington Color School artists such as Sam Gilliam, and the works of contemporary Southwest American artists. His collection of works by the extended Dan Namingha family form the basis of a permanent display at the Museum of Northern Arizona. Mr. Smith was actively engaged in promoting young artists, and as part of his endowment to NMA is the creation of the Namingha Institute-an annual master class retreat for emerging artists to study with masters of contemporary art. A native of Springfield, Ohio, Mr. Smith held a B.S. and M.A. from Ohio State University and an honorary doctorate from North Carolina State University. He was the recipient of many awards and honors-most recently honorary membership in the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research, an international committee of the International Council for Science. He is survived by a brother, David Smith, of Centerville, Ohio; two nieces, Diane Lutter, of Spring Valley, Ohio, and Karen Melin, of Findlay, Ohio; and their children Emily Lutter, Brian Lutter, Amanda Lutter, Benjamin Lutter, and Laura Melin. He is also survived by a worldwide network of people who proudly call themselves "Friends of Phil."

Born in Braintree, Essex, England on December 27, 1955, Erika was the loving daughter of Judith Allen of Cerrillos and is survived by her brother Karl Merklein, her sister and bother-in-law Kathryn and Yusef Nun, and her dog Colbert. She is predeceased in death by her grandparents Maurice and Annie Allen and will be sorely missed by her extended family in the UK, including her beloved Uncle David Allen and Aunt Angie Allen, all of her loving cousins and grandchildren, countless friends, and her father John Merklein of Las Vegas, Nevada. Erika proudly worked as a Readjustment Counselor for the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, supporting veterans for many years at the Santa Fe Vet Center. Years prior, she counseled adults at the Kendal Home in Ohio and was a flight attendant for many years in South Florida. Erika was the epitome of a lifelong horse lover and spent countless hours volunteering at the Santa Fe Horse Shelter. She touched the hearts of all who crossed her path and we will hold her memories in our hearts until we meet again… In lieu of flowers, donations in Erika’s memory may be made to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, 100 Caja del Rio Road, Santa Fe, NM 87507.

Ukraine faces potential civil war O nce again, Europe is in the grips of revolutionary violence. This time it is in Ukraine, a huge nation of 45 million in eastern Europe that lies along the Russian border. In Kiev, the nation’s capital, more than 100 people have been killed this Bill Stewart week in deadly Understanding outbursts Your World between anti-government demonstrators and heavily armed police. Violent clashes between demonstrators and police also have been reported in other cities across the country. It is a crisis at two levels. The first is in Ukraine itself, in which the people of the western half of the country think of themselves as Europeans and look to greater integration with the European Union. The eastern half, however, is much more Slavic in makeup, where the first language is likely to be Russian, and whose people tend to look to Moscow for leadership. That is a recipe for disaster, a potential civil war over national identity and regional allegiance. Do we look east or west? Kiev is in the western half, as is Lviv, one of the principal cities of pre-World War II Poland. Post-World War II boundary changes put the city in Ukraine, which at that time was part of the Soviet Union. The eastern part of Ukraine is heavily industrial, and while it remains pro-Russian, it too has seen outbursts of anti-government violence. Ukraine is the second-poorest country in Europe. The second level of crisis is that between Russia and the West. Ukraine is part of Russia’s “near abroad,” former Soviet territories that lie adjacent to Russia and in which Moscow feels it has a special interest. A competition

For City Council, change is coming

C between Russia and the West for the loyalties of these former Soviet territories has generally gone in the West’s favor, especially in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It is almost a replay of the 19th century’s “Great Game” between Czarist Russia and Britain over power and influence in Central Asia, whose ultimate prize was India itself. Ukraine is a far richer prize than the Baltic states. The current crisis began last November, when the government of President Viktor Yanukovych, who is more of a Slav than a European, rejected a far-reaching agreement with the European Union in favor of stronger ties with Russia. Thousands of people, outraged that long-standing hopes for integration with Europe had suddenly been crushed, poured into central Kiev for peaceful protest. They have occupied Independence Square, known as Maidan, ever since. To help Yanukovych, Russian president Vladimir Putin threw an economic lifeline to Ukraine in December 2013, with an offer of $15 billion in loans as well as cheaper gas, of which Russia is a major exporter. Pro-Western Ukrainians saw the offer as an attempt to bribe Yanukovych,

and tensions increased among the protesters. In late January, the first shooting deaths of protesters occurred in Independence Square during clashes with the police. Then, on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24, protesters seized government buildings in Lviv, IvanoFrankivsk and other cities in western Ukraine as well as in the east. Clearly, the crisis was deepening. On Jan. 28, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his government resigned. Then, in mid-February, under an amnesty deal, protesters vacated occupied government buildings, and charges against those arrested were dropped. The crisis seemed to be abating. On Feb. 18, however, the speaker of Parliament rejected any debate on changing the constitution, a key point for the opposition. As a result, violent protests erupted in Independence Square. On Thursday, as many as 100 people were reported killed in clashes with the police in Independence Square, while 67 police officers were reported captured by the protesters. The crisis was at a new boiling point. In the meantime, the European Union and the U.S. were upping their game, after months of lying low. The EU

imposed sanctions against unnamed Ukrainian officials, while the EU foreign policy chief, Baroness Catherine Ashton, along with several European foreign ministers flew to Kiev for face-to-face talks with President Yanukovych. Vice President Joe Biden was on the phone several times during the course of the day. There is, in fact, little the U.S. or Europe can do to influence the government of Ukraine, other than questionably effective sanctions. Neighboring Russia is in a far more powerful position. It is unlikely that Moscow would send in its troops, even if civil war were to break out. Russian President Putin so far has played a very effective diplomatic hand over Syria, Egypt, Iran and Edward Snowden. He has done so by simply digging in his heels and refusing to play ball with the rest of the world. If sheer obstructionism is his game, then he has played it very well. Ukraine, however, is a different matter. It is his biggest challenge so far. Bill Stewart writes about current affairs from Santa Fe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bushee deserves to be city’s mayor

am writing on behalf of the hundreds of residents who have witnessed Patti Bushee give many hours of her own time to help prevent a main thoroughfare from going past our senior housing and through the neighborhoods of concerned residents. Patti helped organize and attended our neighborhood meetings at Frenchy’s Field Park in the evenings, often in severe winter weather. Whatever Patti undertakes, we can all rely on her experience and leadership. She really cares and has earned the title of our future mayor. Jean Jarvis

Political mockery It took a lot of effort for Santa Feans to put public funding for candidates in place. All this outside money coming into the mayoral race makes a mockery of the whole process. It also undercuts any claim Javier Gonzales might make about his leadership abilities. A leader who respects the process would have stopped the flow of money and glossy fliers a long time ago. He has harmed the other candidates and the public funding process. All disclaimers coming from his camp are “too little, too late.” Valerie Frost

ElEctiON lEttERS With the city election quickly approaching March 4, the last day we will accept election-related letters to the editor will be Feb. 25. We will run election-related letters until Feb. 28. We are no longer accepting election-related My Views. Thank you for the great participation this election season.

No new news Your front-page, above-the-fold, “news” story about the mayor’s race was not only not news, it was biased (“Six degrees of Javier Gonzales,” Feb. 16). The participation of certain political action committees in the mayor’s race has been reported on repeatedly, and responded to repeatedly, for the last few months. Gonzales has repeatedly said that he is solely reliant on public financing and requested that all other parties stay out of the race. That is all he can do. Your own article quotes Common Cause as saying that Javier should not speak directly to these PACs. By placing this on the front page, I assumed there was going to be some new information in your story. But there was nothing that hasn’t been reported on

A second chance

Santa Fe

The confirmation of Environment Department Secretary Ryan Flynn by the Senate does not bode well for the groundwater that serves 90 percent of New Mexicans’ drinking-water needs. The dubious circumstances surrounding copper giant Freeport McMoRan’s involvement in the Environment Department’s 2013 copper rule have already left our groundwater vulnerable to coppermining contamination. The rules finalized in September actually allow copper mines to contaminate thousands of acres of groundwater in excess of health-based water-quality standards. Not only is no variance needed, but the contamination is allowed to go on forever. The copper rule is being challenged by the attorney general and other groups in court, but industrial dairies, seeing the copper industry’s success, have already proposed to similarly gut the rules that protect our drinking water from the thousands of gallons of untreated cattle waste. Flynn has an opportunity to show that he is not beholden to industry this time. Flynn’s actions will speak louder than his words. Norma McCallan, vice chairwoman

Sierra ClubRio Grande Chapter

hange is coming to the Santa Fe City Council, with two councilors choosing not to run for re-election and two more in the running to be mayor (which could open up a third seat). One incumbent is running for re-election unopposed, and a second incumbent faces two challengers. At the very least, there will be two new faces after the March 4 city election. To decide on endorsements, The New Mexican interviewed candidates for the council, listened to interviews with other news outlets, read the candidates’ literature and researched their backgrounds. We were encouraged to see so many citizens become involved in the political process — without engaged, intelligent candidates, our city government would be in sad shape. We thank everyone who participated and hope that when the voters have spoken, individuals who aren’t successful continue to participate in our civic conversations. In particular, we believe several of the council candidates would be valuable serving, for example, on the Santa Fe school board (Joe Arellano, for example), or as volunteers on public commissions and boards. (Rad Acton and Mary Bonney already do, and we think activist Jeff E. Green has much to contribute.) This was a hardworking, intelligent group of candidates. The New Mexican endorses the following people for Santa Fe City Council. District 1: Signe Lindell, with her years of service on the Rules and Ethics Committee and the Planning Commission, has done the necessary work to prepare for the job of city councilor. Her experience as a qualifying broker at Homewise put her in touch with hundreds of locals, giving her insight into the challenges families face daily. She has particular insight into the housing market, especially the need for more affordable housing. Her issues are water and preservation of neighborhoods, and in both areas, she is knowledgeable. She understands that Santa Fe’s future depends on water and preservation of the watershed. She’s gone door to door along Gonzales Road to help neighbors clear trees and branches. Her background in education (A doctorate and work at Kent State University) and her business experience are good additions to the council. She chose private financing in her race for the council; while we prefer public financing, her ethics and knowledge of the issues are reasons to support Lindell. In District 1, Signe Lindell. District 2: This is the most difficult district in which to choose a candidate — all five are smart, experienced and able to discuss the issues with authority. Joseph Maestas, with his professional expertise (he’s an engineer) and with his background in government (he was mayor of Española) is our choice. Maestas understands how laws are written, passed and put into action. He will be able to ask hard questions when the council considers plans for water or road infrastructure. In addition to serving on the City Council and as mayor in Española, he had an unsuccessful run for the Public Regulation Commission. He understands energy issues, something that would be useful as Santa Fe adds to its alternative energy portfolio. In District 2, Joseph Maestas. District 3: Carmichael Dominguez, two-term incumbent

in District 3, rightly is running on a record of serving his constituents. Dominguez is involved in everything from helping neighbors improve their sidewalks to ambitious programs that could reduce the amount of alcohol and junk food available. He is invested in the south side and will be at the forefront of continuing to support both businesses and services to residents. With annexation underway, it’s important to have a knowledgeable voice for the residents of District 3 working on questions of traffic, public safety and development. His past experience on the Santa Fe school board also gives him insight into working for the children of the community. In District 3, Carmichael Dominguez. District 4: Incumbent Ron Trujillo is unopposed.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 22, 1989: Taxes on insurance and cigarettes would be increased to raise an additional $30 million a year in state revenue under a bill given surprise approval Tuesday in the Senate. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Manny Aragon, D-Bernalillo, would raise the state tax on insurance premiums to 4 percent and increase the tax on a pack of cigarettes to 25 cents from 15 cents.

Candidate on defense over shock rocker By Paul J. Weber

The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas itt Romney rallied with Kid Rock and President George W. Bush had a fan in Alice Cooper. But a Ted Nugent encore in the Texas governor’s race is growing unlikely after blowback from Republican Greg Abbott’s embrace of the ultimate shock rocker. Call it a rare case of veering too far right in Texas this election year. Abbott, the leading Republican candidate to succeed Gov. Rick Perry, acknowledged Friday that Nugent calling President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel” last month merited an apology. The brash gun-rights activist made two campaign appearances with Abbott this week. Nugent, who has also suggested treating immigrants like “indentured servants,” had apologized earlier Friday for the Obama slur after it was disavowed by Perry and Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. But Abbott, who until now had claimed ignorance about Nugent’s divisive comments, didn’t back away from inviting Nugent to rallies in the first place. “This is not the kind of language I would use or endorse in any way. It’s time to move beyond this, and I will continue to focus on the issues that matter to Texans,” Abbott said. The Nugent flap was the latest example of GOP candidates staying unabashedly to the right as they approach the state’s March 4 primary, which will move Texas closer to its biggest power shake-up in a decade. Every statewide office could change hands this November. Perry and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz also could present two potential 2016 presidential candidates from Texas. The tone of the GOP race contrasts with assertions by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis and her party that Texas is becoming a broader political battleground as its demographics change. Provocative conservative proposals to repeal the 17th Amendment, which lets voters — not state legislatures — pick U.S. senators, have been kicked around in the race for lieutenant governor. One of the candidates called the flow of immigrants from Mexico an “invasion.” Anti-abortion credentials are discussed as freely as energy ideas among Republicans vying to regulate the state’s oil and gas industry. Within the last year, Texas passed a divisive 20-week ban on abortions, imposed cuts that caused Planned Parenthood clinics to shutter and enacted one of the nation’s most stringent voter ID laws. That hasn’t protected the Republican House speaker, however, from a far-right group that has collected six-

figure donations for primary challengers against him and top lieutenants. The tack reflects a clear judgment about Republican voters’ tastes. “All they seem to argue about is who’s the most conservative — which is good for me,” said voter Bob Baker after taking his seat at a Republican primary debate near Austin. “Just as normal as they shouldn’t have any conservatives in New York, we shouldn’t have any liberals in Texas.” But the Nugent episode isn’t the first time a leading Republican may have touched a nerve. State Rep. Jason Villalba, a rising Republican star in Texas, sharply urged his party’s four lieutenant governor candidates to stop using harsh rhetoric about immigrants in the country illegally and “acknowledge the humanity” in an open letter this month. “They’re not war-mongering adversaries. They’re seeking the American dream,” Villalba said. Abbott, who’s been state attorney general since 2002 and boasts of suing the federal government 30 times, has essentially run a general-election campaign from the start. Abbott said inviting Nugent magnified a contrast with his Democratic opponent, who has made her pitch for conservative voters by coming out in favor of “open carry” gun laws before qualifying her stance. But the Nugent appearance left Abbott on the defensive for one of the first times in the race. “I don’t know what he may have said or done in his background,” Abbott said following a rally with Nugent. “What I do know is Ted Nugent stands for the Constitution. He stands against the federal government overreaching and doing what they’re doing to harm Texans.” Perry, who isn’t seeking re-election after 14 years in office, said Thursday he’s “got a problem” with calling the president a mongrel and called the language inappropriate. But he predicted voters would not be distracted from Davis’ “liberal” record. Davis spokesman Bo Delp blasted Abbott’s statement Friday for excluding “anything about his poor judgment” to embrace Nugent. Nugent told Dallas radio station WBAP that he apologized “for using the street fight terminology of subhuman mongrel.” But he maintained that Obama was a “liar” violating the Constitution. Nugent, who’s also treasurer of a Republican candidate for Texas agriculture commissioner, said Texas must defend its brand of ultra-conservatism. “This is special. There is no other Texas anymore,” Nugent said while introducing Abbott this week. “This is last bastion of rugged individualism, of true independence.”

St. Mike’s Windham wants to end prep career with 5th title

Canada beats U.S. to reach gold game

U.S. to play Finland for bronze medal By Greg Beacham

The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — For the rematch, Canada skipped the overtime and shelved the theatrics. One slick goal and 60 minutes of stifling defensive Canada 1 hockey kept the Canadians firmly U.S. 0 on top of the U.S. and moved them to the brink of gold again. Jamie Benn scored in the second period, Carey Price made 31 saves, and Canada beat the United States 1-0 Friday night in the semifinals of the Olympic men’s hockey tournament. Canada advanced to the goldmedal match Sunday against Sweden, which beat Finland 2-1 in the earlier semifinal at Bolshoy Ice Dome. With an unbeaten run through Sochi, the Canadians are a win away from their third gold medal in four Olympics, and they’re guaranteed their first medals outside North America in 20 years. Although it was fast-paced and well-played, this win had none of St. Michael’s Koery Windham, left, wrestles Anthony Chavez of Tucumcari during the State Wrestling Championships quarterfinals Friday at the Santa Ana Star Center.

IO RANCHO — My, how five years fly. The Koery Windham who appeared calm and composed on Friday night’s opening day of the State Wrestling Championships in the Santa Ana Star Center is nothing like the precocious eighth-grader at St. Michael’s who was a bundle of nerves as he prepared for his first state championship match. “It was hard to keep my focus,” said the senior of his first championship experience. “There was just all those things going on in my head.” Somehow, that nervous kid managed a 4-3 overtime win over Bloomfield’s Jose Perez to win the 125-pound Class A-AAA title. And he grew accustomed to the spotlight as he won three more individual titles — at 135, 151 and 160 — and helped the Horsemen win three team championships in the process. His swan song as a prep wrestler started with a relatively easy pin of Tucumcari’s Anthony Chavez

“

sweet for Windham and St. Michael’s, as the Horsemen struggled for most of the season with a young, inexperienced team that is trying to win a third straight team title. St. Michael’s was in sixth place with 33 points and had just four wrestlers make it to the semifinals — fellow seniors Geno Palermo (at 132) and Luke Sanchez (182) plus freshman Xavier Vigil (171) followed Windham’s path. But Windham has not let the team’s struggle take Michelle Windham, Koery Windham’s mother much away from his individual goals. He is 34-0 this season — just two wins away from his first undefeated season. He finally won his weight class at the one minute, 22 seconds into the A-AAA quarterfiJoe Vivian Classic in January, widely considered the nal match in the 160-pound division. He advanced to a semifinal matchup with Silver’s Cruz Tafoya on premier regular-season tournament in the state.

PREP SWIMMING STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

Los Alamos’ Moore fights illness, heads to final event

Lott sets new team record in 100 freestyle By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — Michael Moore has been waiting for this weekend all year, but Mother Nature intervened and put up a serious road block. The junior swimmer from Los Alamos was hoping for big things at Friday and Saturday’s swimming and diving state championships in Albuquerque Academy Natatorium, but he didn’t perform to his expectations in his two individual events — the 200-yard individual medley and the 500 freestyle. In the individual medley, Moore posted a time of 2:05.86, good enough for 10th place overall and a spot in the finals on Saturday. He also qualified for the finals in the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:57.53, which gave him sixth place. Although he got into the finals in both events, his times were not up to his standards. He expected to finish first in both events, but a couple of viruses kept him from doing that. He came down with a mild case of bronchitis two weeks ago and got the stomach flu on Wednesday, just in time for the biggest meet of the season.

Kings still searching for winning combination By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Despite constant roster changes and rotation shuffles, the rebuilding Sacramento Kings have been remarkably consistent this season. Consistently bad, that is. Nobody in the NBA pulled off more trades since the season started than the Kings before Thursday’s deadline for nonwaiver deals passed. With Sacramento (18-36) stuck at the bottom of the Western Conference and headed for an eighth straight losing season, rookie general manager Pete D’Alessandro promises there will be even more changes ahead. “We’re an unfinished product,” D’Alessandro said. “We’re just going to continue to try to change and turn it over and try to figure it out until we can get it right. I think change is good when you’ve lost a lot. You have to change. You always have to change. We talked about it at the beginning of the year and we’re still talking about it. We’re not there. We’re not there by any means. But we’re working hard to kind of get there, bring the right guys in, bring the young guys along and then really be ready for what we believe is going to be a pretty good draft as well.” Since new owner Vivek Ranadive hired him last June, D’Alessandro has said he owes it to Kings fans to be aggres-

and Travis Outlaw — from last season’s team. And only Cousins, who signed a fouryear, $62 million contract extension before the season, has a long-term commitment from the franchise. “I think the trades themselves, in many ways, made us more athletic. We added talent,” D’Alessandro said. “I keep saying this over and over: I don’t feel like we’ve turned it into a team yet.” The Kings enter Saturday night’s home game against Boston still very much a work in progress. Sacramento has packed a Sacramento Kings forward Rudy Gay walks down court potent scoring punch behind the trio of Cousins, Gay and in the closing moments of Thomas.

Northwestern coach testifies against college unionization By Michael Tarm

The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald testified for three hours Friday about a push by his players to form the nation’s first union for college athletes, sometimes putting himself awkwardly at odds with his senior quarterback. Sporting a tie in team-color purple, Fitzgerald answered questions before the National Labor Relations Board, which must decide in coming weeks if the football players qualify as employees under U.S. law. If so, they have rights to unionize. The decision is being closely watched across the country since a decision in favor of an athletes’ union could change the landscape of college athletics. The NCAA, Big Ten Conference and Northwestern all maintain that college athletes cannot be placed in the same category as factory workers, truck drivers or other employees in the traditional sense. Union supporters, however, say football generates millions of dollars in revenue and is a commercial enterprise reliant on laborers — the players. Fitzgerald, a former star for Northwestern, said his program is about far more than football. “We want [players] to be the best they can be … athletically, academically, socially … to be a champion in life,” he said. He tells players, he said, that academics “is their priority.” Quarterback Kain Colter, who has exhausted his eligibility, painted a very different picture. Testifying earlier this week

for the proposed union, the newly formed College Athletes Players Association, Colter said a player’s performance Pat on the field Fitzgerald was more important to the school than their performance in class. “You fulfill the football requirement and, if you can, you fit in academics,” Colter said. He said he abandoned his own aspiration to take pre-med courses because of the enormous time demands of football. Fitzgerald, however, said he’s known players who ended up going to medical school; he also cited his time juggling football and academics when he was an All-American linebacker at Northwestern in the 1990s. “I had plenty of time to do both,” he said. Colter also said he couldn’t recall an instance where a coach ever told a player to leave practice and go study, but Fitzgerald said it does happen. He said there have even been instances when players who needed more study time were allowed to skip a game. On Jan. 28, when Colter, CAPA and the United Steelworkers announced their intent to form the union, Fitzgerald tweeted that: “Kain and our student-athletes have followed their beliefs with great passion and courage. I’m incredibly proud of our young men!” Union attorney Gary Kohlman suggested that Fitzgerald’s primary mission was to prepare

his players to win games. “I’m trying to teach them to be prepared for life,” the coach responded. “Football is a part of that.” Asked by Kohlman if he got class credit for playing football when he was at Northwestern, Fitzgerald answered: “No. But I was getting unbelievable life experience.” Union attorneys suggested that the highly regimented structure of football at Northwestern, and the tight control of players’ daily lives, essentially make it a business, and the relationship of the school to the players was one of an employer to employee. Fitzgerald acknowledged that a long list of rules applies to football players but not to other students. That includes drug tests and requirements that leases for off-campus housing be approved by the coaching staff. Asked if Fitzgerald agreed that effort put into football by a player constituted a job, Fitzgerald hedged, saying, “It’s a full time job from a responsibility standpoint.” Colter has said that nearly all of the 85 scholarship players on the Wildcats roster back the union bid, though only he has expressed his support publicly. While Fitzgerald clearly attempted to fortify the university’s position against the union, he never said directly on the stand that he opposed the establishment of a union. Outside the hearing, the designated president of the proposed union, former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma, said he thought Ftizgerald’s testimony as a whole helped the union position.

SPortS PREP ROUNDUP

Wins for SFHS, Española set stage for playoff The New Mexican

The regular season may be over, but there’s work to be done before the postseason begins. With Santa Fe High and Española Valley both winning their regular season finales in girls basketball on Friday night — the Demonettes routed Capital 78-48 while Española breezed past Bernalillo 74-51 — the stage has been set for a one-game playoff on Monday night between the coDistrict 2AAAA champions. The game will be at a neutral site to be determined as early as Saturday morning. “The only thing I know is we have one more game with them before districts,” said Española head coach Ray Romero. “They tell us where and when, and we’ll be there.” The Lady Sundevils (20-5, 7-1) opened Friday’s win with a 20-4 run. They followed that with a 16-5 spurt in the second quarter to open a commanding 27-point lead at the break. Alexis Lovato had 29 points and Ashlynn Trujillo 22 for Española, which extended its winning streak to seven straight games. They opened the 2AAAA slate with a loss at home to Santa Fe High (24-2, 7-1) before getting hot down the stretch. “We had to run the table and we knew it,” Romero said. “We talked about taking it one game at a time, that we couldn’t overlook anybody. The girls really came together.” The district tournament begins early next. Pairings will be announced Sunday. Santa Fe PreParatory 65, PecoS 53 At Prep, the host Blue Griffins (14-9, 6-2) got 19 points from Joy Maran and 18 from Alexis Mundt to close out the regular sea-

son with a 2AA win over the visiting Lady Panthers. Prep trailed 39-25 at halftime before staging a dominant second-half rally. Pecos only had two field goals in the entire half, getting most of its 14 points in the final two quarters from the free throw line. Prep outscored the Lady Panthers 19-6 in the third quarter and 21-8 in the fourth. While head coach Anika Amon lauded the play of her stars — Bianca Gonzales added 14 points — it was the play of reserves Meggie Stone and Gressia Burrola that really got her attention. Stone had six points and Barrola had seven defensive rebounds. “That was Meggie’s best game and Gressia, she was the rebounding queen,” Amon said. The 2AA tournament begins Tuesday with Monte del Sol traveling to Prep and Peñasco visiting Pecos. BOYS St. Michael’S 63, Santa Fe indian School 43 At Perez-Shelley Gymnasium, the Horsemen nailed down second place in District 5AAA with a comfortable win over the visiting Braves. Justin Flores led the way with 18 points while Lukas Conway came off the bench to score 14 points in just three quarters’ work. St. Michael’s (20-6, 3-3) will be the No. 2 seed in the 5AAA tournament behind Hope and in front of Sandia Prep and SFIS. The Braves (8-18, 0-6) will travel to Sandia Prep in the first round, then the Horsemen will play the winner of that game in the semifinals. “We corrected a lot of mistakes that we had been making the last two or three games, so we’re excited about what’s ahead of us,” said Ron Geyer, Horsemen head coach.

Robert Calabaza led SFIS with 15 points. Santa Fe PreParatory 64, PecoS 42 At Prep, the Blue Griffins completed an undefeated run through 2AA with another solid win over Pecos. Will Lenfestey had 19 points and Ian Anderson 18 for Prep. Francis Castillo y Mulert added 13 points for the Griffins while Chris Vigil led Pecos with 18. Prep has now won 67 games over the course of the last three seasons. The Griffins now have a bye into the 2AA championship game. Mccurdy 93, tierra encantada 48 In Memorial Gymnasium, the host Bobcats led from start to finish as Daniel Arroyo had 23 points and Chris Serrano 20. Now 16-9 overall and 4-1 in District 4A, McCurdy will host Escalante (19-3, 5-0) in the regular season finale on Saturday night. A Bobcats win would force a one-game playoff for the tournament’s top seed. McCurdy head coach Ruben Archuleta said extra security is being called in to monitor Saturday’s game since the Escalante-McCurdy rivalry tends to be heated. deSert acadeMy 78, alBuquerque Menaul 75 (ot) In Albuquerque, the Wildcats (16-10, 8-6 in 2A) nailed down fourth place in district with an overtime win over Menaul. Josh Bohlman kept Desert Academy in the game in the first half, scoring 13 points. Sudi Torres hit 8 of 10 free throws in overtime to help secure the victory. Mack Snyder finished with 23 points — 22 coming in the 2nd half. Bohlman had 22 points and 15 rebounds; Torres scored 19, and John Rigatti chipped in with 14 points. Desert Academy will play Menaul again in the first round of the district tournament.

Him growing up. … This has been such a big part of our world.” Their world for the past five years has consisted of fellow St. Michael’s parents watching and supporting the Horsemen to the kind of success they had back in the 1970s, when they won five straight state titles. They watched Windham, Palermo and Sanchez be a part of three team titles and win a combined six individual crowns. “It’s not just him growing up,” said Neal. “It was him growing up in these surroundings, with that whole family atmosphere.” That family extends beyond just the St. Michael’s circle, though. Neal Windham credits Capital assistant coach Johnny Tapia, who coached Windham on the Patriot Wrestling club team; Javier Posa, a three-time state champion and former head coach at Santa Fe High; and Joaquin Garcia, the Horsemen’s head coach for the past four seasons, for his son’s growth. Koery acknowledges their influence on him. “That mixture of coaching helps you combine different styles to make one of your own,” he said. As for the description of that style, Koery was as succinct as his first match of the day. “Different,” was all he said. While Windham chases a fifth title, Palermo is chasing

Robertson’s Rico Montoya, top, wrestles Taos’ Brandon Vigil, during the State Wrestling Tournament quarterfinals Friday at the Santa Ana Star Center. Montoya has been undefeated in New Mexico for the past three years. LUIS SáNCHEz SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

Las Vegas Robertson’s Rico Montoya in the 132 division. Palermo, the second seed in the bracket, pinned Bloomfield’s Donny Trujillo in the third period to advance to the semifinals. On the other side of the bracket is the undefeated Montoya, who has not lost to a New Mexico wrestler since he was an eighth grader. He needed just 76 seconds to pin Taos’ Brandon Vigil to improve to 39-0 this season.

But Palermo is targeting the Cardinals junior. “It wasn’t my plan at the beginning of the season,” Palermo said. “I just saw that the way we were going, I figured that if I’m going to wrestle, why not wrestle the best? I’m not going to dodge anybody.” While Montoya is focusing on winning a third state title, he also wants a chance to do something the Cardinals haven’t done since 2009 — to be a part of a championship

team. Robertson was in fifth place with 50 points after the opening day, with five wrestlers making it to the semis. In AAAA, Capital had three wrestlers advance to the semifinals: Jose Tapia at 113, Isaiah Anaya at 145 and Ernesto Salvidrez at 152. Joining them were Espanola Valley’s duo of James Vigil (126) and Santiago Quintana (220) plus Los Alamos’s Chase Saunders (170) and Brian Geyer (195).

Finals: Flu plagues several state swimmers Continued from Page B-1 “I’ve been a little bit under the weather, so my performance today is lower than what I wanted, but [Saturday], I’ll rank much higher than I did,” Moore said. “I was just hoping and praying that I would get better in time for the meet, and I think I have, but not being in the water and not training does have an effect. This really got me at the wrong time.” Moore had to stay out of the water for about four days over the last couple of weeks to recover, and even though that may seem like a small amount of time, the missed training showed on Friday. He was hoping to get 2 minutes or under in the individual medley, but he missed that mark by over five seconds. He had even bigger plans for the 500 freestyle, as he was hoping to beat the Los Alamos record of 4:44.58 set by Josh Nogar in 1997. Moore’s best time in the event is 4:47.91, which is the school’s third-best time ever. Moore still has his eyes on that record, but that would mean he would have to shave nearly 13 seconds off his preliminary

time. He still thinks he can do it, but that may require a big recovery and shaving something other than time. “I’ve been wanting to break that all season, so coming under the weather has got me a little discouraged, but I’m confident I’ll be able to do it,” Moore said. “I’m going to shave my legs and put on Fastskin tomorrow, and I’m hoping that’s going to boost my performance a lot.” Moore will be doing his best to recover in time for Saturday’s finals, but other Los Alamos swimmers will be doing the same too. While Moore may have got the worst of it, others on the team have been feeling the slight effects of an unwanted virus. “We’ve had some nasty flu-type bugs going around in Los Alamos, and it’s kind of touch and go with a lot of people,” Los Alamos head coach Stu Corliss said. “You just play the hand you’re dealt the best you can.” Despite having to fight off a virus, 11 individuals and five relay teams from Los Alamos qualified for the finals. One of them was Sarah Lott, who now has the team

record in the 100 freestyle with a time of 53.13 seconds. “I’ve actually been surprised by our team performance because illness has not only plagued me,” Moore said. “I think I got affected the worst, but a lot of our team has been under the weather.” And now that the preliminaries are over and the next races are the most important of the season, Moore will forgo all other premeet rituals and hit the sheets a little early. “It’s kind of the norm and these overnight meets to stay up late and have some fun, but I’m not going to do that,” Moore said. “I’m going to go to bed early and drink a lot of water and take Vitamin C. I’m going to do everything that I can to swim fast [Saturday].” As for the realistic expectations for what Moore can do in the finals, well, that’s up to Mother Nature. “I guess we’ll just have to see,” Corliss said. “We’re keeping our fingers crossed that he gets better.” If only Mother Nature would have intervened at a different time of the year.

2014 WINTER OLYMPICS

WOMEN’S SLALOM

U.S. teen Shiffrin grabs gold

Continued from Page B-1

By Graham Dunbar The Associated Press

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Invoking the sort of recovery skills that Bode Miller made famous, American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin made Alpine skiing history Friday as the youngest ever winner of an Olympic slalom gold medal. The 18-year-old Schiffrin showed impressive balance and agility on the Rosa Khotur course, somehow correcting herself in mid-air and landing her skis back between the gates midway through her second run. Her speed — and lead from a near-flawless first run — then carried her down the steep hill to win in a two-leg combined time of 1 minute, 44.54 seconds. Despite losing time with her mid-run acrobatics, Schiffrin still finished 0.53 seconds faster than Marlies Schild, the Austrian veteran who is one of Shiffrin’s childhood favorites. “There I was, I’m like, ‘Grrreat. I’m just going to go win my first medal.’ And then in the middle of the run, I’m like, ‘Guess not.’ ” Schiffrin said. “So like, ‘No. Don’t do that. Do not give up. You see this through.’ My whole goal was to just keep my skis moving.” After she crossed the finish line, Shiffrin hesitated to celebrate. She only seemed sure she had won when Schild and bronze medalist Kathrin Zettel of Austria came across the finish area to raise her arms in triumph. “Today was one of the most special days of my life,” said Shiffrin, who described her

mid-run save as “pretty terrifying for me.” At 32, Schild has now taken a slalom medal at three straight Olympics without winning gold. “The dream died in the first run,” said Schild, who had been only sixth-fastest. “I won the silver medal in the second run and that’s great.” Zettel trailed 0.81 behind Shiffrin and cried after securing her first Olympic medal following a series of near-misses at the past two Winter Games. “Mikaela was absolute fantastic skiing, so she was the favorite and she nailed all of us,” Zettel said. “She is the real Olympic champion.”

Shiffrin claimed the record for youngest Olympic slalom champion, male or female, from Paoletta Magoni of Italy, who won gold at the 1984 Sarajevo Games when she was 19. The Vail, Colo., native completed a full set of slalom honors — Olympic and world championship gold medals and a season-long World Cup discipline title — before her 19th birthday next month. It so nearly disappeared in a dramatic second of skiing under the nighttime floodlights. “I thought, ‘It’s over,’ ” said Shiffrin’s slalom coach, Roland Pfeifer. “All of a sudden, she overdid it second run and that

was brutal. I can’t describe how I felt.” For the first time, Shiffrin sealed a big victory from the front instead of her usual aggressive second-run tactics to overhaul other racers. Despite fighting a cold, Shiffrin built a 0.49-second advantage over Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany in late afternoon, using nimble footwork to deal with soft snow and a tight gatesetting on the steep course. Hoefl-Riesch faded on her second time down to finish fourth in what is likely her Olympic farewell race, 1.19 behind Shiffrin and 0.38 outside the medals.

Anton Ohno for the most career Olympic Ahn’s team soon disbanded and other

South Korea law prevents men from holding dual citizenship, so he had to find a new national identity, too. “I made a decision and I have no regret,” he said. “I would like to thank Russia.” Celski skated head-to-head with Ahn in the relay and came away impressed. “Everybody in short track should give that guy credit, and they do,” he said. The relay got off to a chaotic start with China and the Netherlands crashing not even halfway through the opening lap. It became a two-nation race between Russia and the U.S. for most of the 45 laps. Chris Creveling briefly put the U.S. in front with 15 laps left, overtaking Vladimir Grigorev. But Ahn rallied his teammates to victory. Eddy Alvarez, Celski, Creveling and Jordan Malone took silver for the first U.S. medal in speedskating at the Sochi Games. The U.S. speedskaters were shut out in 12 long track events, and had failed to get on the podium in the first seven short track races. The medal helped the Americans avoid a shutout for the first time since 1998 in Nagano. China overcame the early trouble to take bronze.

the flair of Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal to beat the U.S. four years ago. The Canadians didn’t care. “We didn’t score a lot of goals, but we didn’t have to,” Canada forward Jonathan Toews said. “The next game will follow that work ethic. We can check, we can work our tails off, and we can make things real tough for the other team.” After its first loss in Sochi, the U.S. will face Finland for bronze on Saturday. The Americans were hoping for redemption from their gutwrenching defeat in 2010, but they only got a businesslike reminder of Canada’s clout. “We didn’t show up to play,” U.S. defenseman Ryan Suter said. “It’s too bad. … We sat back. We were passive. You can’t play scared. I thought we sat on our heels and just didn’t take it to them at all.” Indeed, the defending Olympic champions left little doubt about their North American hockey dominance in a rematch of the finale of the Vancouver Games. Although the Canadians had no signature moments and never pulled away, they also never appeared seriously threatened. From faceoff to final buzzer, Canada was in control thanks to Price, Benn and defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, whose pass created Benn’s goal. All three players weren’t on the Canadian team in Vancouver, but they’re a win away from earning their own gold medals. “Obviously we knew it was going to be a tight match going in,” Benn said. “We found a way to get one, our team played great team defense, and our goalie shut the door.” The Canadians haven’t even trailed in the Sochi Olympics, and they coolly maintained border supremacy on the U.S. by defending their blue line with authority. Their stifling defense has allowed just three goals in five games, and they clamped down on an American offense that had scored 19 goals in Sochi for every minute of a slightly anti-climactic evening. “We didn’t really create much offense,” U.S. forward Patrick Kane said. “It’s a little disappointing. … I think everyone expected a tight-checking game, but to say we would have gotten shut out, I don’t think anyone would have thought that.” Jonathan Quick stopped 36 shots in a strong perfor-

mance for the Americans, who had trailed for just 7:19 in Sochi before Benn’s goal put them in a hole they never escaped. Canada scored early in the second period during a shift by Benn and Anaheim Ducks teammates Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. Benn got the puck outside to Bouwmeester, who threaded a pass into the slot for Benn’s deflection past Quick, whose aggression sometimes makes him vulnerable to such shots. Benn, the Dallas Stars captain, didn’t get an invitation to Canada’s summer Olympic orientation camp and was one of the last players added to the roster. But he’s had a great tournament and his goal was all the offense needed by Price, the Montreal goalie who easily handled the Americans’ few good chances, including their clunky power plays. Crosby still has no goals through five games in Sochi, but the Canadian captain had his best overall game as Canada beat the Americans for the fourth time in five Olympic meetings since the NHL players joined the party in 1998. The showdown might have been the last Olympic meeting of these nations’ best players for a long while if the NHL keeps players out of the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, forcing the rivalry to move to a World Cup or world championship. The Americans still haven’t won Olympic gold since the Miracle on Ice in a drought that will be at 38 years by the next Olympics, no matter who’s wearing the U.S. uniform there. “I think it was maybe a little too perimeter and not much traffic in front of their net,” U.S. forward David Backes said. “Kudos to them for keeping us to the outside, but we’ve got to find ways to get to the inside and make things happen.” For all the talent and high stakes on the ice, the Bolshoy wasn’t exactly rocking for the game, with the predominantly Russian crowd apparently struggling to decide whom to root against. The scoreless first period was still fast and exciting, with Quick stopping 16 Canadian shots. Crosby shook off his early tournament struggles and played at a breakneck pace, while the American forwards generated numerous chances on pure speed.

German, Italian athletes test positive By Stephen Wilson The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — A top German biathlete and an Italian bobsledder were kicked out of the Sochi Olympics on Friday in the first doping cases of the Winter Games. Former two-time Olympic gold medalist Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle tested positive for the stimulant methylhexanamine in both her “A” and “B” samples, the German Olympic Committee said. The committee said she has been removed from the team and was being sent home. Sachenbacher-Stehle — winner of two golds and three silvers in cross-country skiing at previous games — blamed the positive test on a nutritional supplement and said she had never knowingly taken performance-enhancing drugs. “I am going through the worst nightmare that you can

imagine because I am unable to explain at all how there could be a positive test,” she said in a statement. The Italian Olympic Committee, meanwhile, announced that bobsledder William Frullani was ejected from the games after testing positive for the banned stimulant dimetylpentylamine in the athletes village on Tuesday. Frullani, who had not competed yet, asked for a backup test that “confirmed the positive result, resulting in his exclusion from the Italian delegation,” CONI said. The IOC later confirmed Sachenbacher-Stehle’s positive test and ejection from the games. Sachenbacher-Stehle, who switched from cross-country to biathlon two years ago, competed in five events in Sochi but did not win any medals. Her best results were two fourth-place finishes, in the

12.5K mass start and the mixed relay. The IOC said in a statement that she was disqualified from the mass start and her entire team had its fourth-place finish in the mixed relay canceled out. The 33-year-old German was tested after Monday’s mass start race. Her backup sample was tested on Friday and confirmed the original finding. Her expulsion from the games was announced after she appeared before an IOC disciplinary commission on Friday afternoon. Sachenbacher-Stehle had been left off Germany’s topranked women’s relay team before Friday night’s 4x6-kilometer relay. The team finished 11th. Franziska Hildebrand, who skied the third leg for Germany, said the team was told about the doping case earlier in the day. “We are totally shocked,” Hil-

debrand said. Methylhexanamine is classified on the World AntiAgency’s prohibited list as a “specified stimulant,” a group of substances that are more susceptible to inadvertent use and can carry reduced penalties. Sachenbacher-Stehle said she had her nutritional supplements checked in a lab or cleared by the manufacturer before the games. “At the moment I can only assure all involved that I never knowingly took banned substances,” she said. Any further sanctions outside of the Olympics are up to the International Biathlon Union. The German could face a ban from the sport for a year or more. Michael Vesper, chief of German Olympic body DOSB, said athletes have been repeatedly warned about supplements that contain methylhexanamine.

Hockey loss gives U.S. Bieber, Chicago billboard says CHICAGO — Looks like the U.S. gets Justin Bieber. At least one Chicago-area company thinks so. Command Transportation this week put up an electronic sign along one of the area’s major expressways that featured pictures of U.S. and Canadian hockey players with the headline “Loser keeps Bieber.” The pop star is a Canada native but lives in the U.S. The U.S. lost 1-0 to Canada on Friday.

The sign had a picture of Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. Kane plays for the U.S. and Toews plays for Canada. A picture of pop star Justin Bieber was in between the hockey players. Command Transportation owner Danny Zamost says he often puts sports-themed messages on his sign. He calls it “good clean fun.” The Associated Press

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to have a long-overdue chat. You might notice that your feelings seem to be altering rapidly regarding a key person. Tonight: Let the fun times begin.

Husband puts his kids above wife Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for six years. He divorced his wife of 53 years because he fell in love with me and wanted the rest of his life to be happy. They had not shared a bedroom since the last of their kids was born. “Ted” has always put his children before me. They dislike me because of “what I did to their mother.” Well, their father did it, not me. I pushed him away for more than a year before realizing how terrible his marriage was. (One of his kids told me.) Ted repeatedly has lied to me about his children. He takes trips to visit them without me and doesn’t tell me he’s leaving until the day before he flies off. He makes all the arrangements behind my back. He once left me for a month and said he wanted a divorce because they told him he should get one. Ted and I have talked about this, and he swears he will change, but he never does. Lately, his children have called me terrible names, and he never says a word in my defense. I have never been a part of his family, and I guess I never will. At 78, you’d think he would appreciate having a loving wife and understand that his life is with me now. I don’t expect him to stop seeing his kids, but he needs to put our marriage first. We tried marriage counseling twice, and each time he quit, saying the counselor was biased against him. Is there any hope? — Tired of Being Number Eight Dear Tired: We don’t know what can be salvaged. If you backed off and told Ted he should see his kids on his own and you’ll stay out of their lives entirely, would he, in return, tell you of his plans and insist that his children treat you with respect? If the two of you can handle that, you may be able to stay together and enjoy the times that don’t involve the kids. But

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might wonder what would be best to do with an unpredictable and/or challenging loved one. Tonight: Whatever you decide, it feels right. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Take some much-needed downtime. You simply need to relax. There won’t be a problem if you’re with the right company. Tonight: Close to home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH A friendship means more than you might realize. Know and communicate your expectations, as they might be changing. Tonight: Surround yourself with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Pressure to perform could build. Get past a problem simply by dealing with it directly. Curb a tendency to overindulge. Tonight: You are the lead actor.

Hocus Focus

Dear Annie: I am a psychologist, and my husband is a psychiatrist. You give excellent advice, but there is one area where you could be more helpful. When people seek low-cost mental health services, you often print a list of places where they might find help. Unfortunately, that list might not be useful in smaller, more rural areas. While we have several colleges, none have graduate departments that offer counseling. The YMCA and YWCA closed with the recession, and local churches offer pastoral counseling only to their own congregants. The main low-cost mental health services offered in our community are through the county. This includes individual and family counseling, psychiatry and crisis intervention. We also have a 24-hour phone hotline to access emergency services. They can also direct people to an outpatient clinic at the local hospital. In addition, Mental Health America (formerly the Mental Health Association) offers referrals, classes and support groups. If people are seeking low-cost help, please recommend that they contact their local county government. — Karen J. Goodman, Ph.D., Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Dear Dr. Goodman: Consider it done. We appreciate the information and will definitely add county services to the list. Dear Annie: I think most families have at least one negative relative who puts a damper on holidays. My late mother-in-law hated the whole season and did her best to depress the rest of us. She told me once that the reason she didn’t like Christmas was that she had never gotten what she wanted. I asked her what she wanted. She replied, “I don’t know.” — CT
