Polio’s return a world health emergency, officials say Virus was near eradication two years ago; 68 cases so far in 2014 By Donald G. McNeil Jr. and Rick Gladstone The New York Times
Alarmed by the spread of polio to several fragile countries, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency Monday for only the second time since regulations permitting it to do so were adopted in 2007. Just two years ago — after a quarter-century-long campaign that vaccinated billions of children — the paralyzing virus was near eradication; now health officials say that goal could evaporate if swift action is not taken. Pakistan, Syria and Cameroon have recently allowed the virus to spread — to Afghanistan, Iraq and Equatorial Guinea, respectively — and should take extraordinary measures to stop it, the WHO said. “Things are going in the wrong direction and have to get back on track before something terrible happens,” said Gregory Hartl, a WHO spokesman. “So we’re saying to the Pakistanis, the Syrians and the Cameroonians, ‘You’ve really got to get your acts together.’ ” The declaration, which effectively imposes travel restrictions on the three countries, represented a

New rules for healthier lunch Schools seek pause to solve some problems By Mary Clare Jalonick
The Associated Press
ALEXANDRIA, Va. ecky Domokos-Bays of Alexandria City Public Schools has served her students whole-grain pasta 20 times. Each time, she said, they rejected it. Starting next school year, pasta and other grain products in schools will have to be whole-grain rich, or more than half whole grain. That includes rolls, biscuits, pizza crust, tortillas and even grits. The requirement is part of a government effort to make school lunches and breakfasts healthier. Championed by first lady Michelle Obama, the new standards have been phased in over the past two school years, with more changes coming in 2014. Some schools say the changes have been expensive and difficult to put in place, and school officials are asking Congress and the Agriculture Department to roll back some of the requirements. Their main concerns: finding enough whole grain-rich foods that kids like, lowering sodium levels and keeping fruits and vegetables from ending up in the trash. School nutrition directors across the country mostly agreed that healthy changes were needed in school lunches — long famous for daily servings of greasy fries and pizza. Kids have adapted easily to many of the changes, are getting more variety in the lunch line and are eating healthier. But Domokos-Bays and other school nutrition directors say they would like to see some revisions. They say the standards were put

in place too quickly as kids get used to new tastes and school lunch vendors rush to reformulate their foods. When kids don’t buy lunch, or throw it away, it costs the schools precious dollars. “The regulations are so prescriptive, so it’s difficult to manage not only the nutrition side of your businesses but the business side of your business,” Domokos-Bays said. Schools don’t have to follow the requirements, but most do — if they don’t, they won’t receive government subsidies reimbursing them for free and low cost lunches for low-income kids. Some of the main challenges reported by school nutrition directors: Whole grains: While many kids have adapted to whole grain rolls, breads and even pizza crusts, some schools are having problems with whole grain-rich pastas, which can cook differently. USDA’s Janey Thornton, a former school nutrition director, says the government is working with the food industry to develop better pastas. Whole grains have also proved a hard sell for some popular regional items, like biscuits and grits in the South. Lyman Graham of the Roswell, school district says tortillas are one of the most popular foods in his area, but the whole wheat flour versions are “going in the trash.” Sodium: Schools will have to lower the total sodium levels in school meals next school year and then will have to lower them even further by 2017. School lunch directors say the 2017 target — 935 milligrams total in an elementary school lunch and 1,080 milligrams in a high school lunch — isn’t feasible and say kids will reject the foods. USDA’s Thornton acknowledges the food industry isn’t there yet but encourages frustrated school lunch directors to “worry about today first
before we imagine the worst down the road.” Fruits and vegetables: The standards require every student to take a fruit or vegetable to create a balanced plate. The reaction among students has been mixed. “If the kids don’t eat the food, then all I have is healthy trash cans,” said Peggy Lawrence, director of nutrition at Georgia’s Rockdale County Public Schools. Healthier snacks: Schools will for the first time this year have to make sure that all foods, including vending machines and a la carte lines, meet healthier standards. While many schools have already moved to make snacks healthier, others depend on snack money to help operate their lunchrooms and are worried about a sales dip. The School Nutrition Association has asked Congress and USDA to only require that 50 percent of foods be whole grain-rich, to suspend the 2017 sodium requirements and to stop requiring students to take a fruit or vegetable. Margo Wootan, a nutrition lobbyist for the Center for Science in the Public Interest who has pushed for healthier meals, says relaxing those standards could gut the program. “You can’t call a meal a meal without a fruit or vegetable,” she said. Republicans who have complained of government overreach say they may intervene before then. Alabama Rep. Robert Aderholt, the Republican House chairman of the spending committee overseeing USDA, has said school districts need a “pause” while problems are worked out. Aderholt’s panel is expected to release a new spending bill this month that may propose changes. Republicans also are eyeing the next five-year renewal of the school foods policy, due in 2015.

In brief
Target CEO steps down Target’s president and chief executive, Gregg Steinhafel, resigned Monday, the latest fallout from a massive data breach last year. Steinhafel, a more than 30-year veteran of the company, had repeatedly apologized to customers for the breach, which enabled the theft of millions of customers’ payment information and has cost the company millions. The retailer has struggled to win back customer trust amid a tough economy. Extreme winter weather, weak holiday sales, a sluggish labor market and low consumer confidence have hit many retailers’ profits. Target has had the added burden of the data breach that affected up to 110 million customers and sparked a nationwide debate about whether retailers are doing enough to protect customer information. Target said its chief financial officer, John Mulligan, would serve as interim president and chief executive officer. Steinhafel is the highest-ranking Target executive to resign in the breach’s aftermath. The company has shuffled several high-level positions. this week. Security experts have warned that the malware that infected Target may also have affected a “large number” of other retail information systems. Target’s stock closed at 59.87 on Monday, down 2.14, or 3.45 percent on the day.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Investigators suspect that a snapped clip sent eight aerial acrobats plummeting 20 feet or more during a daring performance. The clip, a common type called a carabiner that’s used for everything from rock climbing to holding keyrings, was one of several pieces at the top of a chandelierlike apparatus that suspended the performers, fire officials said. After the accident, the 4- to 5-inch steel clip was found in three pieces on the ground with its spine snapped. Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare stopped short of saying the carabiner caused Sunday’s accident at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus, witnessed by about 3,900 people, many of them children. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is trying to make a final determination. Two of the acrobats were in critical condition Monday and all eight were still hospitalized with injuries including a pierced liver and neck and back fractures, as well as head injuries.
El-Sissi pledges to end brotherhood CAIRO — Egypt’s former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, seen as certain to become the next president, says the Muslim Brotherhood will never return if he is elected, accusing it of using militant groups to destabilize the country. Asked in the first TV interview of his campaign for elections this month, whether the group will no longer exist under his presidency, elSissi replied, “Yes, just like that.” “It’s not me that finished it, the Egyptians have. The problem is not with me,” said el-Sissi, who last summer ousted Mohammed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood figure who in 2012 became Egypt’s first democratically elected president.
Convict set free in wake of clerical error CHARLESTON, Mo. — Cornealious “Mike” Anderson spent 13 years free from prison due to a clerical error, then nearly a year behind bars when the mistake was caught. On Monday, he walked out of a southeast Missouri courtroom a free man again. Mississippi County Associate Circuit Judge Terry Lynn Brown needed just a 10-minute hearing before ruling that he was giving Anderson credit for time served for all 4,794 days between his conviction and when he was arrested last year. Anderson, 37, left the courthouse with his wife and 3-year-old daughter on one arm and his mother on the other. Anderson was 23 when he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in the robbery of a fast-food restaurant’s assistant manager. The Associated Press

NIGERIA
Islamist group says it will sell girls Nearly 300 students kidnapped in April By Adam Nossiter The New York Times
DAKAR, Senegal — In a video message apparently made by the leader of Nigeria’s Islamist group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of hundreds of schoolgirls nearly three weeks ago, called the girls slaves and threatened to “sell them in the market, by Allah.” “Western education should end,” Shekau said in the 57-minute video, speaking in Hausa and Arabic. “Girls, you should go and get married.” The Islamist leader also warned that he would “give their hands in marriage because they are our slaves. We would marry them out at the age of 9. We would marry them out at the age of 12,” he said. The message was received by news agencies in Nigeria on Monday and is similar to previous videos purportedly from Boko Haram. It is the first time the group has claimed responsibility for the kidnappings, which have gripped Nigeria, ignited a rare anti-government protest movement and embarrassed the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, who has so far been unable to rescue any of the teenage girls. They were abducted from their school on April 14. By some counts, 276 remain missing. The incident is the latest assault by Boko Haram, which has committed dozens of massacres of civilians in its five-year insurgency in Nigeria’s north. Earlier this year, more than 50 teenage boys were slaughtered — some burned alive — at a government school in the north. That incident, like many others, was quickly forgotten in Nigeria and was barely noticed outside of it. But the kidnappings of the girls have attracted rare international attention, with foreign governments weighing in and the State Department also expressing concern. The government’s helplessness so far — the army first claimed to have rescued the girls, then retracted the claim — has shaken Jonathan’s administration, and the president has spoken of reaching out to other governments, including the United States, for help in rescuing the girls. In a demonstration of how sensitive the issue has become for the government, two women protesting its response to the kidnappings were arrested Monday after a meeting in Abuja, the capital, with the wife of the president. The country is preparing to host a major economic summit this week, making the unresolved kidnappings all the more embarrassing.

Ukraine sends elite force to Odessa By Radul Radovanovic and Yuras Karmanau The Associated Press
ODESSA, Ukraine — Ukraine sent an elite national guard unit to its southern port of Odessa, desperate to halt a spread of the fighting between government troops and a pro-Russia militia in the east that killed combatants on both sides Monday. The government in Kiev intensified its attempts to bring both regions back under its control, but seemed particularly alarmed by the bloodshed in Odessa. It had been largely peaceful until Friday, when clashes killed 46 people, many of them in a government building that was set on fire. The tensions in Ukraine also raised concerns in neighboring Moldova, another former Soviet republic, where the government said late Monday it had put its borders on alert. Moldova’s breakaway Trans-Dniester region, located just northwest of Odessa and home to 1,500 Russian troops, is supported by Moscow, and many of its residents sympathize with the pro-Russia insurgency. The loss of Odessa — in addition to a swath of industrial eastern Ukraine — would be catastrophic for the interim government in Kiev, leaving the country cut off from the Black Sea. Ukraine already lost a significant part of its coastline in March, when its Crimean Peninsula was annexed by Russia. Compared with eastern Ukraine, Odessa is a wealthy city with an educated and ethnically diverse population of more than 1 million. Jews still make up 12 percent of the population of the city, which once had a large Jewish community. “The people of Odessa are well-educated and understand perfectly well that Russia is sowing the seeds of civil war and destabilization in Ukraine,” said Vladimir Kureichik, a 52-year-old literature teacher who left Crimea after it became part of Russia. The White House said it was “extremely concerned” by the violence in southern Ukraine. “The events in Odessa dra-

matically underscore the need for an immediate de-escalation of tensions in Ukraine,” said spokesman Jay Carney. He suggested Russia still must follow through with its part of a diplomatic deal aimed at defusing the tensions. In eastern Ukraine, gunfire and multiple explosions rang out in and around Slovyansk, a city of 125,000 in the Russianspeaking heartland that has become the focus of the armed insurgency against the government in Kiev. The Russian Foreign Ministry put the blame squarely on Kiev, which “stubbornly continues to wage war against the people of its own country.” Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a statement that government troops were battling about 800 proRussia forces, which were deploying large-caliber weapons and mortars. His ministry reported four officers killed and 30 wounded in the fighting. This nation of 46 million is facing its worst crisis in decades after its Moscow-leaning president, whose base was in the east, fled to Russia in February following months of street protests. Those eastern regions are now at odds with Ukraine’s western and central areas, which seek closer ties with Europe and largely back the government in Kiev. The West has offered billions of dollars in loans to help Kiev
stave off economic collapse. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Ukraine expects to receive more than $5 billion in May, according to a government statement Monday. This includes $3 billion from the International Monetary Fund, $1 billion from the U.S. and up to 1 billion euros from the European Union. The goal of the pro-Russia insurgency is ostensibly to push for broader autonomy in the east, but some do favor seceding from Ukraine and joining up with Russia. In recent weeks, pro-Russia forces have stormed and seized government buildings and police stations in a dozen eastern cities. Kiev accuses Moscow of backing the insurgents and fears Russia could use the violence as a pretext to invade. Tens of thousands of Russian troops have been deployed along Ukraine’s eastern border. But even as violence spread

The international community has accused Russia of fomenting the unrest in an attempt to destabilize Ukraine and derail the May 25 presidential elections. On Monday, the Russian Foreign Ministry published a 70-page report listing what it describes as human rights violations by “ultranationalist, neo-Nazi and extremist forces” in Ukraine. The Kremlin wrote that the ministry report “confirms that … violations of basic human rights in Ukraine have become widespread.” While Putin has made no public comment on Ukraine since the Odessa fire, several Russian politicians have ramped up their anti-Ukraine rhetoric. Russian state media outlets have referred to the fire as genocide.

across the east, Odessa had been largely tranquil until Friday, when pro-Ukrainian demonstrators fought back after being attacked by pro-Russian groups. “We feel ourselves to be residents of a free city, Europeans,” said Denis Sukhomlinsky, a 34-year-old businessman who took part in the clashes. “We don’t need the Russian iron hand or the dictatorship of [President Vladimir] Putin.” Pro-Russia activists, however, echo Putin in describing the region as historically part of Russia. Nearly 30 percent of Odessa’s residents identify themselves as Russian. “We will not become the slaves of NATO and the European Union, and will fight to the end,” said Vyacheslav Khrutsky, 45.

Scott Burns, executive director of the National District Attorneys Association, said he doesn’t know of any other jurisdictions in the country that offer this kind of training. It’s unclear whether the simulator has affected indictment rates of law enforcement officers. While Harris and Bexar counties do not keep tallies of how many shooting cases are presented to grand juries for review, Ramirez said that in the 10 years before the simulator was used, three officers were indicted by Harris County grand juries for wrongful shootings and that three officers have been indicted during the decade it has been used.

The New York Times
STUTTGART, Germany — After years of relative inaction, German prosecutors have opened dozens of fresh investigations of men and women suspected of having served as Nazi death camp guards, racing against the clock to bring the aging suspects to justice. Not since the end of World War II have so many cases been initiated at once. The surge of cases is being driven by a new generation of prosecutors — the “grandchildren generation,” as they are known here — who bring a less conflicted view of culpability to crimes committed during the war and who were given a legal opening with the 2011 conviction of John Demjanjuk, a former guard at the Sobibor death camp who spent years as an Ohio autoworker. The prosecutors are now applying modern advances to historical crimes, like threedimensional virtual models of camps to demonstrate what guards would have been able to see from their posts, as well as spreadsheets and databases to glean critical evidence from reams of Nazi archival material. Since March alone, prosecutors from Stuttgart to Schwerin and Hamburg to Frankfurt have opened inquiries against men and women suspected of playing a role in the functioning of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, cases that could eventually lead to charges of complicity in the murder of tens of thousands of the more than 1 million Jews and others who perished there. The youngest of the suspects are well into their 80s and have lived freely in Germany for decades. Among them is a woman from Hamburg who is in her 90s and served as a guard at Auschwitz-Birkenau from September to October 1944, prosecutors say. Another is a 93-year-old man who worked as a paramedic at the camp in 1944. He was arrested in March after a search of his home in the northern state of MecklenburgWestern Pomerania. The key precedent was provided by the Demjanjuk case, in which a Munich state court convicted the former death camp guard of accessory to the murder of all 28,060 people who died during the time he served there. That ruling overturned a precedent that had required evidence linking suspects to a specific killing, which had stood since 1969. The judge further found that it was impossible for anyone who worked at Sobibor, a relatively small camp, not to be considered a part of the Nazi’s machinery of mass murder. Since then, German federal prosecutors have reopened dozens of files on former guards whose whereabouts had long been known to authorities. The cases steadily trickled through Germany’s decentralized justice system until September, when the federal prosecutors recommended that authorities in 11 of Germany’s 16 states pursue charges against 30 former guards.

— does not make grand jurors favor one side over another in deciding whether to issue an indictment. The scenarios that the simulator presents can apply to situations involving both officers and civilians, said Julian Ramirez, chief of the civil rights division at the District Attorney’s office. “When a claim of self-defense is raised, whether by an officer or a civilian, the law requires the circumstances be viewed from … the person using deadly force,” he said. Ramirez said he would be willing to meet with any groups critical of the simulator’s use. The Bexar County district attorney’s office in San Antonio is the only other major District Attorney’s office in Texas that offers the computer simulations to grand jurors.

U.N. panel presses Vatican on response to abuse By Nick Cumming-Bruce The New York Times
GENEVA — The Vatican faced sharp questioning by a United Nations panel Monday about whether it had failed to abide by an international treaty against torture in its response to the sexual abuse of children by priests. In the hearing, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican’s representative in Geneva, immediately found himself at odds with members of the panel, the Committee Against Torture, over the Holy See’s view that it is responsible for applying the treaty only to the few hundred inhabitants of the Vatican City state. Another U.N. panel, on the rights of children, rejected that argument in February, saying that the Vatican’s responsibility for implementing human
rights treaties extended to every person and institution under the Roman Catholic Church’s authority around the world. The children’s rights committee accused the church of putting its reputation and interests ahead of those of children. If the Committee Against Torture reaches a similar conclusion, its report could undermine one of the main obstacles to holding the church accountable for clerical sexual abuse, victims’ advocates say. Felice D. Gaer, the vice chairwoman of the committee, said the convention against torture was signed by the Holy See, which represents more than just the Vatican City state. Never before, she said, had a party to the convention tried to limit its application to just one part of itself. What the committee wanted,
Gaer told the archbishop, “is simply that you show to us that, as a party to the convention, you have a system in place to prohibit torture and ill treatment as defined by the convention, when it is perpetrated or acquiesced to by anyone under the effective control of the officials of the Holy See and the institutions that operate in the Vatican City state.” Pope Francis announced the formation of a commission in December to advise on combating sexual abuse. Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley of Boston, briefing journalists over the weekend, said the panel would issue clear and effective protocols that would hold accountable any senior clerics or officials who did not report suspected abuse. Victims of sexual abuse by members of the clergy are skeptical of these initiatives.
They have said the church, far from tackling sexual abuse, has sought to stall investigations and has kept pedophile priests in posts where they were in contact with children. “The Holy See has consistently sidestepped real accountability and serious reform,” the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, acting on behalf of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, said in a submission to the United Nations panel. It noted that a set of guidelines issued by bishops in Italy this year and approved by the Vatican “explicitly states they are not required to inform law enforcement authorities if they suspect a child has been sexually assaulted.” “Pope Francis and the bishops are not taking action that would protect children,” Barbara

High court: Prayers OK at town meetings By Mark Sherman
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A narrowly divided Supreme Court upheld decidedly Christian prayers at the start of local council meetings on Monday, declaring them in line with long national traditions though the country has grown more religiously diverse. The content of the prayers is not significant as long as they do not denigrate non-Christians or try to win converts, the court said in a 5-4 decision backed by its conservative majority. Though the decision split the court along ideological lines, the Obama administration backed the winning side, the town of Greece, N.Y., outside of Rochester. The outcome relied heavily on a 1983 decision in which the court upheld an opening prayer in the Nebraska Legislature and said prayer is part of the nation’s fabric, not a violation of the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion. Writing for the court on Monday, Justice Anthony Kennedy said that forcing clergy to scrub the prayers of references to Jesus Christ and other sectarian religious figures would turn officials into censors. Instead, Kennedy said, the prayers should be seen as ceremonial and in keeping with the nation’s traditions. “The inclusion of a brief, ceremonial prayer as part of a larger exercise in civic recognition suggests that its purpose and effect are to acknowledge religious leaders and the institutions they represent, rather than to exclude or coerce nonbelievers,” Kennedy said. Justice Elena Kagan, writing for the court’s four liberal justices, said, “I respectfully dissent from the court’s opinion because I think the town of Greece’s prayer practices violate that norm of religious equality — the breathtakingly generous constitutional idea that our public institutions belong no less to the Buddhist or Hindu than to the Methodist or Episcopalian.” Kagan said the case differs significantly from the 1983 decision because “Greece’s town meetings involve participation by ordinary citizens, and the invocations given — directly to those citizens — were predominantly sectarian in content.” Kennedy himself was the author of an opinion in 1992 that held that a Christian prayer delivered at a high school graduation did violate the Constitution. The justice said Monday there are differences between the two situations, including the age of the audience and the fact that attendees at the council meeting may step out of the room if they do not like the prayer. In her dissent, Kagan said the council meeting prayers are unlike those said to open sessions of Congress and state legislatures, where the elected officials are the intended audience. In Greece, “the prayers there are directed squarely at the citizens,” she said.

Gala: $500 is minimum contribution Continued from Page A-1 Ohio, John McCain of Arizona and Orrin Hatch of Utah. The reception will be held at the home of Susan Neely, president and CEO of the American Beverage Association, which represents the soft drink industry. The host committee includes Fred Malek, who worked in the administrations of presidents Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush and has held top positions in various GOP presidential campaigns. He currently is involved in the Republican Governors Association. Also on the host committee is former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. The former Pennsylvania governor earlier this year said Martinez should consider running for president after winning a second term as governor of New Mexico. Martinez repeatedly has said she is not interested in being on the national Republican ticket. The minimum contribution to attend the event is $500. The invitation to the event first was posted online Monday by Mother Jones magazine, a progressive publication that last month published a scathing profile of Martinez. The event is similar to a June 2013 gala in Washington, D.C., that included many of the same guests and raised $220,000 for the Martinez re-election campaign, according to The Hill, a Washington publication that covers Congress. While her campaign paid for Martinez’s travel expenses, New Mexico taxpayers paid $6,460 for transportation, lodging and food for her state police security detail, according to state records, plus $948 for transportation for members of the governor’s staff. Besides his involvement in the Chevy Chase reception, Rubio on Monday lent his name to the Martinez fundraising effort in an email sent to potential donors. After praising Martinez for “diversifying New Mexico’s economy, removing job-killing regulations to make businesses more competitive [and] cutting taxes,” Rubio said, “Susana is facing a fundraising deadline and your contribution will help her catch up to her opponents, who have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money into their campaigns.” But according to the latest round of New Mexico campaign finance reports last month, it’s not Martinez who needs to “catch up.” Those reports showed that Martinez reported $4.2 million in the bank last last month, nearly 10 times the amount of her closest Democratic opponent, Alan Webber.

Albuquerque Journal reported. City Council President Ken Sanchez called for order, but the chaos continued. People in the crowd shouted back at Sanchez that it was the people’s meeting. He then declared the meeting adjourned and left with other councilors. The Journal reported that some of the protesters then held their own meeting, taking over the council’s seats on the dais with some also shouting into the microphone at the podium. There were chants of “Recall Mayor Berry” and “Fire Gorden Eden.” Sanchez later said in a statement that he had to adjourn the meeting for
children with a gun around noon Saturday, Deputy Chief Eric Garcia had told reporters. The proposals dealing with the police chief’s position were near the bottom of Monday’s agenda, but activists critical of the department showed up early. Some told the councilors during the early portion of the public comment session that those officers who consistently use excessive force need to be fired. Demands that Eden resign drew cheers. Others said the city’s response should not be a knee-jerk reaction but that the councilors needed to do more to confront the problems.
Flavor: Outdoor area can seat up to 42 customers Continued from Page A-1 Abrams said. “There are enough places that serve green chile.” Demolition started in January, and this week, a dozen workers were painting, replacing brick and caulking window frames in the final push to opening day. Executive chef Brett Sparman, formerly of the Inn and Spa at Loretto, and of Nobu Dallas before that, helped with the design of a new kitchen off the back of the old café building. He described Georgia’s food as simple, with clean flavors and locally-sourced ingredients. Asked to name some possible dishes, Sparman said the menu might include Talus Wind Ranch lamb chops and potato trinchat (a mash of potatoes, roasted shallots, olive oil and parsley) served with parsnips and baby squash; Alaskan halibut with summer beans and purple cauliflower; or a salad plate that includes golden beets with goat cheese yogurt, pistachio brittle, edible flowers and herbs. Appetizers will range in price between $9 and $18, entrées will be under $35 and desserts will include classics such as chocolate fudge mousse cake, carrot cake and crème brûlée, all made inhouse. Vegetarian options will be available, and the restaurant will be able to accommodate diners with food allergies. Some special food nights, such as one featuring fresh Maine lobsters, are under consideration. Wines will start at about $7 a glass and there will be many bottles available for under $40, although some higher-priced boutique wines also will be on the menu. Sparman said he might eventually dip into A Painter’s Kitchen: Recipes from the Kitchen of Georgia O’Keeffe, the popular cookbook containing the artist’s recipes for healthy, homegrown natural foods, for inspiration, but he is not looking to re-

create her cuisine. From 1:30 to 5 p.m. the restaurant will serve small plates of cheeses and charcuterie on the patio, hoping to attract museum visitors. Dinner will be served from 5:45 to 10 p.m. during the summer and early fall, and 5:45 to 9 p.m. in the offseason. Like the O’Keeffe Café, Georgia will have an outdoor seating area that will accommodate up to
42 diners. Cantilevered umbrellas will cover the tables in front of the restaurant. The new entrance leads directly into the brickwalled bar. Because the double-brick building, which dates back more than a century, had no insulation, crews had to pull out the original red brick to add insulation, then painstakingly replace the brick. The bar will have dark wood floors and exposed old timbers overhead. Behind the bar is a completely new, 600-squarefoot kitchen with white tiled walls, a 21-foot-long exhaust hood, a 12-burner stove and a wood-fired grill. There’s a new skylight, and both windows that were previously boarded up are now exposed, letting in plenty of natural light. A hallway connects the bar with a spacious dining room with a beadboard ceiling and beadboard wainscoting along the white walls. Pendant lamps will hang from the ceiling over each table. Diners will sit on brown leather bancos around the sides of the room or in back-to-back bancos in the center. The floors will be the same dark wood as in the bar. Because of the city’s historic design codes, the windows have not been changed. For one large wall of the dining room, Abrams commissioned a large pixelated photo of Georgia O’Keeffe by Alex Cao, a New York artist. Elsewhere in the room will hang black-and-white photos of flowers by South Carolina artist Michael Harrison. In the bar and hallway, there will be landscapes of O’Keeffe country by former diplomat and photographer Bill Frej. The restaurant plans to hire about 25 to 30 people. Abrams will manage it with his business partner, Terry Sweeney, who believes their timing is good. “The U.S. economy is generally improving,” he said Monday, and “Santa Fe is a top-of-the-list destination.”
Birds: Low doses of radiation may have no effect Continued from Page A-1 to as much background radiation as a typical resident of the United States receives from all sources in a year. That makes it off-limits except for short forays, but a good place to study the long-term effects of radiation on organisms. “This level of chronic exposure is above what most species will tolerate without showing some signs, either in terms of how long they live or in the number of tumors they have, or genetic mutations and cataracts,” Mousseau said. “It’s a perfect laboratory setting for us.” Mousseau, a biologist at the University of South Carolina, has been coming to the contaminated area around Chernobyl, known as the exclusion zone, since 1999. The list of creatures he has studied is long: chiffchaffs, blackcaps, barn swallows and other birds; insects, including bumblebees, butterflies and cicadas; spiders and bats; and mice, voles and other small rodents. After the nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima, Japan, three years ago he has con-
ducted similar research there, too. In dozens of papers over the years Mousseau, his longtime collaborator, Anders Pape Moller of the National Center for Scientific Research in France, and colleagues have reported evidence of radiation’s toll: higher frequencies of tumors and physical abnormalities like deformed beaks among birds compared with those from uncontaminated areas, for example, and a decline in the populations of insects and spiders with increasing radiation intensity. But their most recent findings, published last month, showed something new. Some bird species, they reported in the journal Functional Ecology, appear to have adapted to the radioactive environment by producing higher levels of protective antioxidants, with correspondingly less genetic damage. For these birds, Mousseau said, chronic exposure to radiation appears to be a kind of “unnatural selection” driving evolutionary change. Ionizing radiation, like that produced by cesium, strontium and other radioactive isotopes, affects living

Police said at a news conference that Martin fired at least 11 shots from inside and outside his West Side home before a SWAT team member fired a single shot that struck his chest. Martin died at the scene. Martin threatened his wife and two

A hit-and-run driver remained at large Monday after leaving a pedestrian dead in the northbound lanes of St. Francis Drive between Zia and Sawmill roads at about 10 p.m. Sunday. Santa Fe police have tentatively identified the victim as a transient who had been living in Santa Fe recently but is likely from Missouri. A spokeswoman for the department, Celina Westervelt, said no name would be released until next of kin have been notified. Investigators found debris at the scene that included a piece of a broken headlight that local dealerships were able to identify as belonging to a Jeep Grand Cherokee from model years 1993 to 1998. Police said there also may be other damage to the front of the vehicle on the driver’s side. A news release said the pedestrian was not using a crosswalk and was wearing dark clothing as he walked into the northbound lanes of St. Francis Drive and was struck. Westervelt said an investigating officer called the spot where the pedestrian tried to cross the multi-lane road the “darkest possible spot” on St. Francis Drive. The statement said the victim was wearing black pants, a black shirt, a black leather jacket, a black hat and brown shoes. The release also said he had “extensive tattoos” on his left arm and a sun-shaped tattoo on his left middle finger. Westervelt said investigators are looking for any security camera footage that might have recorded images related to the incident. Police have asked that anyone who might have information about the victim, the vehicle or the incident to call dispatchers at 428-3710. Police closed northbound St. Francis Drive from 10:30 p.m. Sunday to 2:30 a.m. Monday while they investigated the incident. The state Office of the Medical Investigator planned to conduct an autopsy.

As part of an online national campaign to benefit nonprofit organizations, the Community Foundation Coalition of New Mexico is helping to promote Give Grande New Mexico on Tuesday, May 6, a daylong event in which people can donate money online to directly support New Mexico organizations. New Mexicans who would like to donate $10 or more to any of some 400 participating organizations can visit www.givegrandenm. org before the end of the day. The national fundraising campaign, Give Local America, has promised to “amplify” those donations with additional funds, which will be based on how much money is donated by the day’s end. The potential recipients include about 75 nonprofit organizations that do work in Santa Fe County. In total, 409 New Mexico nonprofits signed up for the event, said coordinator Denise Gonzales.

The criminal case against a paving firm accused of defrauding Santa Fe County out of about $1 million will begin to inch forward again now that an appeal has been dismissed by the state Court of Appeals. Advantage Asphalt and Seal Coating owners Joseph Anthony Montoya and Marlene Montoya and their firm are charged with multiple counts of fraud, racketeering and bribery for alleged wrongdoings related to the millions of dollars worth of paving work they were contracted to do for Santa Fe County over the past decade. One allegation was that the company collected payment for work performed with the county’s own material and labor. An investigation into the firm began in 2010. Charges against the couple were formally filed in February 2012, and the case was scheduled to go to court last September. But before the trial could begin, the Montoyas filed a motion asking the court to dismiss the charges against them, based on the argument that the mishandling of $110,000 seized from their safe during a 2010 raid on their home amounted pre-adjudication punishment, raising the legal issue of double jeopardy. Retired District Judge Jim Hall — who was appointed to hear the case after every other judge in the district had been excused or recused themselves — denied the motion. But the Montoyas appealed his decision to the New Mexico Court of Appeals and all proceedings were postponed pending the higher court’s decision. The Court of Appeals on Monday issued a memorandum dismissing the Montoyas’ appeal. Judge M. Monica Zamora cited the reasons that had been stated in a proposed opinion issued in February — that double jeopardy doesn’t apply in the case because the money is “not the evidence of any alleged crime” and because the case has not been heard yet. “Nothing has occurred in this case to trigger jeopardy attaching,” he wrote. District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco said Monday she hadn’t heard the news yet but that with the appeal settled, the case would start moving toward trial again. The Montoyas could not be reached for comment Monday. Cases against two other defendants — former county Public Works Director James Lujan and former county employee Denice Sanchez — have ended. In August, Lujan pleaded guilty to demanding or receiving bribes from Advantage Asphalt and Seal Coating, admitting he took bribes and trips to Las Vegas, Nev., from Advantage Asphalt. He is expected to be a state witness in the case against the Montoyas. He isn’t expected to be sentenced until after their case goes to trial, but the District Attorney’s Office has agreed not to try to send him to a state prison, which would likely limit incarceration time to a maximum of one year in jail. The charges against Sanchez of making or permitting a false voucher and conspiracy to commit fraud were dismissed in September.

The FBI and Santa Fe police are searching for a man who robbed a south-side bank at gunpoint Monday morning, and a police spokeswoman said it’s possible the same person is responsible for other armed robberies in Santa Fe. An FBI statement said the armed robber entered the First National Bank of Santa Fe branch at 4995 Governor Miles Road at about 9:15 a.m., pointed a gun at tellers and demanded money. The thief fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Witnesses described the man as about 5-foot-7, wearing gray hooded sweatshirt and a pair of dark sunglasses, with a black or blue bandana with a white pattern over his face. Law enforcement officials briefly closed the nearby Santa Fe Auto Park at about 10 a.m., in case the robber would flee through the area, but Celina Westervelt of the Santa Fe Police Department said the auto dealership complex didn’t remain closed long. The bank robbery is the most recent in a spate of armed thefts throughout Santa Fe since late March. At 9 a.m. March 29, a man described as between 20 and 35 years old robbed the U.S. Bank, 600 San Mateo Road, at gunpoint. Witnesses described that robber as about 5-foot-

America, such as Colorado, have participated before, but this is the first year New Mexico is taking part, Gonzales said. In 2011, the first year that Colorado participated, the campaign raised about $5 million for organizations in that state. Gonzales added that the fact that more than 400 New Mexico nonprofits are participating “has already made it successful.” Gaile Herling, coordinator for Santa Fe Public Schools’ Adelante Program, which is one of the participating nonprofits, said the program depends on donations. Adelante provides various services such as free tutoring for students, a food pantry program and an emergency fund to help low-income families with financial emergencies. “We’re very excited about it,” Herling said. “We have high hopes, as I’m sure as all of the other nonprofits do.” Some local restaurants, including Santa Fe Capitol Grill, Plaza Café Southside and Pizza Centro, will give 10 percent discounts on food orders Tuesday to people who present a receipt showing they made a donation on the Give Grande website.

Churchgoers chase down man after collection basket theft By Chris Quintana The New Mexican
A man who swiped money donated to a Catholic church in Santa Cruz on Sunday would have gotten away with about $2,500 had it not been for some determined parishioners, the Española Police Department said. Richard Horton, 23, of Santa Cruz is being held at the Santa Fe County jail on charges of burglary and larceny. The Rev. Javier Gutierrez of Santa Cruz de la Cañada Parish said the theft attempt occurred at about 11:40 a.m. during a fiesta celebration at the church — one of the more crowded services at the church east of Española, which is also home to a Catholic grade school. After volunteers had passed around collection baskets near the end of the service and parishioners had contributed money to help with church programs and expenses, an eagleeyed parishioner spotted Horton fleeing from the church with the offerings. Several parishioners sprinted after the man and kept on his tail.

Gutierrez said he didn’t see what happened next, but he learned later that the pursuers had cornered Horton. Police Chief Eric Garcia said that by the time officers arrived on scene, parishioners already had detained the man. Richard Police arrested Horton withHorton out further incident. Neither the parishioners nor the suspect were injured during the pursuit, Garcia said. “Credit really has to go to the parishioners here,” Garcia said. “This is commendable.” Gutierrez said he was grateful the funds were recovered, and he was especially thankful that bank checks, which sometimes can be altered, were retrieved. “The collection is what helps to pay the bills,” Gutierrez said. “That would have been hurtful.” Horton was initially held at the Española detention center before he was transferred to the Santa Fe County jail Sunday afternoon. He is being held in lieu of a $5,000 bond.

New native art market to be held at Railyard The Indigenous Fine Art Market, which was started by three former employees of the group that sponsors the annual Santa Fe Indian Market, will be held at the Santa Fe Railyard, the new organization said Monday. Tailinh Agoyo, spokeswoman for the new market, said via Facebook the event will take place at the Railyard from Aug. 21 to Aug. 23, the same weekend the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts will hold its 93rd annual Indian Market on and around the Santa Fe Plaza. The new group also has launched its website, www.indigefam.org, where interested artists can apply to participate in the market. Indigenous Fine Arts Market officials earlier had eyed the Santa Fe Indian School campus on Cerrillos Road as a venue for the market, but in order for the school to host the event, the plan would have needed approval from the 19 pueblo governors in New Mexico. Meanwhile, SWAIA plans to announce its new leadership during a 2 p.m. news conference Tuesday at La Fonda. SWAIA’s chief operating officer, John Torres Nez, resigned from that
organization in March before he began planning the Indigenous Fine Art Market.
Driving suspension reduced for deputy fire marshal The New Mexico General Services Department has reduced the number of days Deputy Fire Marshal Vernon Muller is not allowed to drive a state vehicle. Muller lost his state vehicle privileges in March after he gave the Public Regulation Commission chief of staff’s son and the son’s girlfriend a ride from Raton, where Muller was on state business, back to Santa Fe when the couple’s vehicle broke down. PRC Chief of Staff Vincent Martinez didn’t ask permission from the state Transportation Division before he asked Muller to give unauthorized people a ride in a state vehicle — a violation of state policy. The General Services Department suspended Martinez and Muller’s state vehicle driving privileges for 90 days. Martinez agreed to stick with his 90-day suspension, saying he was responsible for the violation, but he asked the state to reduce Muller’s suspension because driving is essential to his job. After reviewing the case, the state agreed, reducing the suspension to 21 days, according to General Services Department spokesman Tim Korte. The New Mexican

Fracking boom linked to sharp rise in traffic deaths Analysis shows fatalities have quadrupled in some drilling states since 2004 By Jonathan Fahey and Kevin Begos The Associated Press
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — Booming production of oil and natural gas has exacted a little-known price on some of the nation’s roads, contributing to a spike in traffic fatalities in states where many streets and highways are choked with large trucks and heavy drilling equipment. An Associated Press analysis of traffic deaths and U.S. census data in six drilling states shows that in some places, fatalities have more than quadrupled since 2004 — a period when most American roads have become much safer even as the population has grown. “We are just so swamped,” said Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva of Karnes County, Texas, where authorities have been overwhelmed by the surge in serious accidents. The industry acknowledges the problem, and traffic agencies and oil compa-
nies say they are taking steps to improve safety. But no one imagines that the risks will be eliminated quickly or easily. “I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon,” Villanueva said. The traffic accidents have devastated families: two young boys crushed to death last year by a tanker truck in West Virginia; a Pennsylvania father killed by another tanker in 2011; a 19-year-old Texas man fatally injured in 2012 after colliding with a drilling truck on his way to work. A month later, on the same road, three retired teachers died in another collision with a truck. Not all of the crashes involved trucks from drilling projects, and the accidents have been blamed on both heavy equipment drivers and ordinary motorists. But the frenzy of drilling activity contributes heavily to the flood of traffic of all kinds that has overwhelmed many communities. Deadly crashes are “recognized as one of the key risk areas of the business,” said Marvin Odum, who runs Royal Dutch Shell’s exploration operations in the Americas. Crashes often increase when the volume of traffic goes up, whether because of an improving economy, a
new shopping mall or more people moving into the area. Still, the number of traffic fatalities in some regions has soared far faster than the population or the number of miles driven. In North Dakota drilling counties, the population has soared 43 percent over the past decade, while traffic fatalities increased 350 percent. Roads in those counties were nearly twice as deadly per mile driven than the rest of the state. This boom is different from those of the past because of the hydraulic-fracturing process, which extracts oil and gas by injecting high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals. It requires 2,300 to 4,000 truck trips per well to deliver those fluids. Older drilling techniques needed one-third to one-half as many trips. Another factor is the speed of development. Drilling activity often ramps up too fast for communities to build better roads, install more traffic signals or hire extra police officers to help direct the flow of cars and trucks. Last year, a truck carrying drilling water in Clarksburg, W.Va., overturned onto a car carrying a mother and her two boys. Both children, 7-year-old Nicholas Mazzei-Saum and 8-year-old
Alexander, were killed. “We buried them in the same casket,” recalled their father, William Saum. He said his wife, Lucretia Mazzei, has been hospitalized four times over the last year for depression. Traffic fatalities in West Virginia’s most heavily drilled counties, including where the Mazzei-Saum boys were killed, rose 42 percent in 2013. Traffic deaths in the rest of the state declined 8 percent. The average rate of deaths per 100,000 people — a key mortality measurement that accounts for population growth — in North Dakota drilling areas climbed 148 percent on average from 2009 to 2013, compared with the average of the previous five years, the AP found. In the rest of the state, deaths per 100,000 people fell 1 percent over the same period. Traffic fatalities in Pennsylvania drilling counties rose 4 percent over that time frame, while in the rest of the state they fell 19 percent. New Mexico’s traffic fatalities fell 29 percent, except in drilling counties, where they only fell 5 percent. In 21 Texas counties where drilling has recently expanded, deaths per 100,000 people are up an average of 18 percent. For Villanueva, that means there
New Mexico’s traffic fatalities fell 29 percent, except in drilling counties, where they only fell 5 percent. are now accidents serious enough to require air transport of victims three or four times each week, compared with only a few times a month before drilling operations took off. Some experts say regulatory loopholes contribute to the problem. Federal rules governing how long truckers can stay on the road are less stringent for drivers in the oil and gas industry. Every truck accident “is a tragedy,” said Steve Everley of the industry group Energy in Depth. He said oil and gas drillers and their suppliers have been working to reduce traffic and accidents by adopting safety programs, recycling more drilling water and building more pipelines for water.

A native of Ipswich, MA, he was born June 6, 1936, the son of the late Emma Richard Lemieux and the late Arthur Jacques Lemieux. After high school he spent four years in the U.S. Navy as a radio man on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Tarawa. Returning home, he married Cynthia Sklarz, late of Ipswich. In 1998 he married Natalie Gundrey Delvaille in Reading, MA. He was the father of Michele Lemieux of Salisbury, NH and Derek Lemieux of Brattleboro, VT; and step-father of Christopher Delvaille of Colorado Springs, CO. Richard had 6 grandchildren; Tiffany Lemieux, of Lynn, MA, Evangeline & Naomi Lemieux of Hilo, Hawaii, and Ashleigh, Ariella, and Aaron Delvaille of Colorado Springs, CO. His sisters and brothers include Claire Plouff of Littleton, CO, Paul Lemieux and Rene Costoplus of Ipswich, MA, and the late Beatrice LaRochelle. Richard excelled in sports as a young man; captain of his high school baseball team, coach of the Ipswich girls’ softball team, and a life-long fan of the Boston Red Sox. In Santa Fe, he was a member of Red Sox Nation; a well-known volunteer at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market; and an active member of the Church of Antioch. He had an avid interest in horseback riding, especially at the Broken Saddle Riding Company in Cerillo, NM. When his illness prevented him from riding, he greeted guests there with his typical humor and cordiality. Deepest thanks go to the many people who cared so ably and sympathetically for Richard at the Kingston Residence in Santa Fe, and to the knowledgeable and compassionate participants in the Ambercare hospice program.

who enjoy saying that other governors (fill name in here) have done the same things, didn’t you at least hope for a little better from this one? (Hispanic? Female?)” J.B.
I’ve been a die-hard Susana Martinez advocate “ from the beginning. I’ve publicly slammed Democrats for doing this very thing. But wrong is wrong. It sickens me that Gov. Martinez would tolerate this in her administration, and now I find myself having to agree that apparently the governor and her administration are indeed phonies. How do you defend that to conservatives, governor, now that you’re coming up for election? Too bad. This is one Republican who has lost confidence in you.” A.C.
‘He was careless’ — oh yes, how true, because, “ frankly, he didn’t care. This governor, Keith Gardner

Mora County’s drilling battle matters
T
he outcome of two lawsuits pending against Mora County and its Community Water Rights and Local SelfGovernment Ordinance have the potential to impact an individual’s ability to use and profit from his or her own land — not just in New Mexico, but from coast to coast. One year ago, in a 2-1 vote, Mora County commissioners made headlines by becoming the first in the country to totally outlaw all development of hydrocarbons. County Commissioner John Olivas, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, believes “the ordinance is defensible” and claims the county is “ready for the fight.” Olivas characterizes himself as a part of a great crusade. He said: “We see these lawsuits as merely a beginning — of a waking up that must occur across our communities and the country to understand that we are caught within a system that virtually guarantees our destruction.” Mora County’s ordinance was a triumph for the Pennsylvania-based Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, which “has assisted more than 150 communities across the country to establish Community Rights ordinances that today are protecting communities from a range of harmful practices.” In a news release about Mora County’s vote, CELDF Executive Director Thomas Linzey claims: “Mora is joining a growing people’s movement for community and nature’s rights.”
The Mora ordinance states: “It shall be unlawful for any corporation to engage in the extraction of oil, natural gas, or other hydrocarbons within Mora County.” Under the ordinance, any permits or licenses issued by Marita either the federal or state Noon government that would allow activities that would compromise the county’s rights would be considered invalid. The ordinance tests U.S. Supreme Court decisions dating back to the 1800s that recognize corporations as having many of the same rights as citizens and challenge state and federal powers. Originally emboldened by talk that little Mora County was going to lead the nation in a “community rights” movement, in the face of lawsuits, many locals feel that they’ve been used. Many local residents interviewed addressed the desire for the jobs the resource development could bring. Others expressed frustration over the use of fear, not facts, in making the ban decision. One said: “They’re taking corporations’ rights now; next they’ll come and take mine.” CELDF’s Linzey calls the situation, “The fight that people have been too chicken to fight over the past 10 years, which is essentially deciding who makes the deci-
sions about the future of the places where people live.” CELDF has convinced the commissioners and some of the people of Mora County that that they’re taking the moral high ground. In fact, they are the only community foolish enough to make themselves susceptible to being the guinea pigs for Linzey’s radical ideas. Mora County doesn’t have any current drilling activity, but it is important as a part of the national battle. If the lawsuits against Mora succeed, there will be a strong basis for future challenges to any other similar law or ordinance. However, if Mora’s ordinance holds up in court, it will spawn many more and make it that much harder for the oil and gas industry to challenge future bans on fossil fuel extraction that may crop up in other places. The Mora County story isn’t just about Mora County and it isn’t just about oil and gas drilling — or even about fracking. It reflects a property rights battle being played out in cities and counties across America.

On my way home from work earlier this week, I noted three separate locations in residential areas where police officers had pulled over vehicles and no one had their lives in danger, and weapons were not drawn, no need for crime-scene tape.

critical component of health: access to care. Medicaid pays doctors and hospitals less than almost any other insurance program. So, many providers — often the best ones — refuse to accept Medicaid patients. Even when a Medicaid recipient does get care, there is often little or no improvement to his or her actual health. Under the ACA, millions will lose access to private insurance coverage and instead find themselves with inferior coverage under Medicaid. For example, in any state that chooses to expand Medicaid, a family of four earning between $23,850 and $31,721 will lose eligibility for subsidized private insurance and, practically speaking, will have no choice other than to sign up for Medicaid. Expanding health insurance coverage is a worthwhile objective, but society must never lose sight of the real goal: better health. Medicaid is a proven failure, and there are better, fairer approaches available. States must have greater power to address the specific needs of their local communities, and Medicaid should be structured so that recipients can shift into private coverage. We can — and we must — seek better alternatives rather than expand an ineffective and deeply unfair program.
t is time for New Mexico to elect a governor who knows how to educate children. Gov. Susana Martinez has failed to get her own education secretary-designate confirmed because neither she nor her choice, Hanna Skandera, have gained the trust of New Mexican educators and legislators. Neither one of them has the knowledge or credentials to lead a public education system challenged by high poverty and underfunding. Sen. Howie Morales, who holds a doctorate in education, sponsored two pieces of legislation, Senate Bills 587 and 588, that Gov. Martinez vetoed out of ideological blindness and ignorance of what is going on in New Mexico schools. Instead, Gov. Martinez has imported a woman who spends time out of state, serving organizations that are pushing a national agenda aimed at diverting resources from public schools to fund charter schools tied to private nonprofits and corporations. The morale of New Mexico teachers and educational administrators has been damaged under Martinez and Skandera. Instead of knowledgeable leadership that provides effective policies and sufficient funding to New Mexico public schools, Martinez has pushed testing and school evaluation policies that are designed to take instructional time and resources away from teachers and administrators. Morales knows what to do to strengthen our schools and will serve New Mexico’s public interest as our next governor.

Martinez attorney attempts to kill TV attack ad, May 1
“
It appears that the Martinez campaign will be getting a taste of its own medicine with the running of this ad. When she hears one of her sidekicks attack another Latino, such as in the case when her [campaign staffer] made an uncalled for and nasty remark against deceased former House Speaker Ben Luján. Not taking any action against him doesn’t look very good for Gov. Martinez. It could be that Martinez is a Latina only in name. Expect the governor’s race to become nastier as the election cycle continue its course.” J.M. The stations shop should pull Susana Martinez’s “ ads for false and provably untrue statements. Her
ads say she has been good for and cares for New Mexico. She vetoed minimum-wage increases, shut down critical mental health providers, signed on with the new mining rules that give oil, gas and mining free reign to pollute and she gave corporations more tax incentives, and so much more.” C.M. Cyclists debate need for barriers at train crossings, May 2
Why put up barriers that bicyclists will just ignore “ like they do stop signs, red lights or any other traffic
safety devices? It is still astonishing to me that bicyclists demand full, unfettered access to the roads, but the vast majority refuse to follow the rules of the road. Since they are on the roads, they should also be required to carry insurance.” D.F.
I am a motorist and a biker. When I am in my car, I “ drive defensively. I observe stop signs, traffic lights and
the signals at rail crossings. I watch for bicyclists and motorcyclists, even when they are not watching for me. When I am on my bike, I do the same, but I am in the minority. When biking, I adopt an attitude of caution and fear instead of the sense of entitlement that many of my biking friends adopt. This ‘accident’ was senseless. This woman simply tried to beat the train. See train tracks, assume there might be a train. Look left, look right. Flashing lights and ringing bells — more clues? I mourn this loss of life, but what is the sense of surviving 60 years only to die saving seconds?” S.G.

Medicaid is failing Hispanics
F
or the lowest-income Americans, having health insurance often means Medicaid. Having a Medicaid card in your wallet is better for your health than having no coverage at all. But it’s also worse than just about any other form of health insurance in America. Despite its high costs, Medicaid yields lowquality health outcomes for the millions of low-income Americans who must rely on it. In 2009, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said, “Medicaid is a caste system. It is unfair to poor people and it is unfair to taxpayers.” For the Hispanic community — which includes many lowerincome people and even more taxpayers — the senator’s comments ring truer than ever. Hispanics are especially likely to fall into Medicaid. According to a 2013 Kaiser Family Foundation report, 30 percent of nonelderly Hispanic Americans were enrolled, compared with 15 percent of nonelderly, non-Hispanic Caucasian Americans. According to the report, around 1 in 4 Medicaid enrollees is Hispanic, and roughly one-third of nonelderly Hispanics are uninsured altogether. These numbers understate the importance of Medicaid for Hispanics — and of Hispanics for Medicaid. A recent Department of Health and Human Services study suggests that millions of uninsured Hispanics may qualify. The ACA aims to increase enrollment by about 15 million — a large share of whom may likely be Hispanics. So why is Medicaid such a problem for Americans in general and Hispanics in particular? Many who sign up for Medicaid are surprised to learn that it does not guarantee a

Personal responsibility is key
I
’m sure that we are all saddened by the death of Suzanne LeBeau. I am equally sure we are unlikely ever to know just what caused her to ride in front of a train. We are taught as children to stop, look and listen whenever we are going to cross a train track. Obviously something happened that made LeBeau not stop, look or listen. We can speculate, but we cannot ever know. Dehydration? A minor stroke? Bells were ringing, lights were flashing a few yards from where she was. The extremely loud train horn was shouting. We cannot “protect” ourselves from ourselves. Even the most extreme (and expensive) measures cannot relieve us of personal responsibility. How to reconcile our desire to live free of too much government interference in our lives and, at the same time, demand that that same government protect us from virtually every eventuality, every potential danger? All of us sympathize with the family and friends of LeBeau, but nothing anyone can do or spend can ever eliminate the possibility that such a sad event can happen again. Richard Block Santa Fe
Raise the bar I take issue with tourism author Trish Byrd’s comment that “the dining scene here is bigger and better than other places” (“Touting tourism,” May 2). Having patronized many of the restaurants in town, I’m consistently disappointed with the top-tier establishments who too often give perfunctory to indifferent service with inconsistent attention to top-quality offerings. A pleasurable dining experience is a combination of factors from the food served, to the service rendered, to the overall ambiance. Once, when I called one of the top-rated restaurants in town and spoke with the manager about the lack of good service for a pre-alerted birthday dinner, she simply said so sorry about that and offered no incentive to

COMMENTARY: DAVID BROOKS
A great love story, all in one night E ight months ago, I came across a passage in a book that has haunted me since. It was in Michael Ignatieff’s biography of Isaiah Berlin, and it concerns a night Berlin spent in Leningrad in 1945. Berlin was hanging out when a friend asked if he’d like to go visit Anna Akhmatova. Not knowing much about her, Berlin said yes. Twenty years older than Berlin, Akhmatova had been a great pre-revolutionary poet. Since 1925, the Soviets had allowed her to publish nothing. Her first husband had been executed on false charges in 1921. In 1938, her son was taken prisoner. For 17 months, Akhmatova had stood outside his prison, vainly seeking news of him. Berlin was taken to her apartment and met a woman still beautiful and powerful but wounded by tyranny and the war. At first, their conversation was restrained. They talked about war experiences and British universities. Visitors came and went. By midnight, they were alone, sitting on opposite ends of her room. She told him about her girlhood and marriage and her husband’s execution. She began to recite Byron’s Don Juan with such passion that Berlin turned his face to the window to hide his emotions. She began reciting some of her own poems, breaking down as she described how they had led the Soviets to execute one of her colleagues. By 4 in the morning, they were talking about the greats. They agreed about Pushkin and Chekhov. Berlin liked the light intelligence of Turgenev, while Akhmatova preferred the dark intensity of Dostoyevsky. Deeper and deeper they talked, baring their souls. Akhmatova confessed her

loneliness, expressed her passions, spoke about literature and art. Berlin had to go to the bathroom but didn’t dare break the spell. They had read all the same things, knew what the other knew, understood each other’s longings. That night, Ignatieff writes, Berlin’s life “came as close as it ever did to the still perfection of art.” He finally pulled himself away and returned to his hotel. It was 11 a.m. He flung himself on the bed and exclaimed, “I am in love; I am in love.” Today we live in a utilitarian moment. We’re surrounded by data and fastflowing information. “Our reason has become an instrumental reason,” as Leon Wieseltier once put it, to be used to solve practical problems. The night Berlin and Akhmatova spent together stands as the beau ideal of a different sort of communication. It’s communication between people who think that the knowledge most worth attending to is not found in data but in the great works of culture, in humanity’s inherited storehouse of moral, emotional and existential wisdom. Berlin and Akhmatova were from a culture that assumed that, if you want to live a decent life, you have to possess a certain intellectual scope. You have to grapple with the big ideas and the big books that teach you how to experience life in all its richness and make subtle moral and emotional judgments. Berlin and Akhmatova could experience that sort of life-altering conversation because they had done the reading. They were spiritually ambitious. They had the common language of literature, written by geniuses who understand us better than we understand ourselves. The night also stands as the beau ideal of a certain sort of bond. This sort of love

depends on so many coincidences that it happens only once or twice in a lifetime. Berlin and Akhmatova felt all the pieces fitting amazingly into place. They were the same in many ways. There was such harmony that all the inner defenses fell down in one night. If you read the poems Akhmatova wrote about that night, you get the impression that they slept together, but, according to Ignatieff, they barely touched. Their communion was primarily intellectual, emotional and spiritual, creating a combination of friendship and love. If friends famously confront the world side by side and lovers live face to face, Berlin and Akhmatova seemed to somehow enact both postures at once. They shared and also augmented each other’s understanding. For Berlin, this night was the most important event of his life. Akhmatova was stuck in the Soviet Union, living under a regime of manipulation, fear and lies. She suffered horrendously for it. The regime decided that she had cavorted with a British spy. She was expelled from the Writer’s Union. Her son was thrown into prison. She was desolated but never blamed Berlin, speaking of him fervently and writing movingly about the numinous magic of that night. I’m old enough to remember when many people committed themselves to this sort of life and dreamed of this sort of communion — the whole Great Books/Big Ideas thing. I am not sure how many people believe in or aspire to this sort of a life today. I’m not sure how many schools prepare students for this kind of love.

ecause of the Spring 2014 Amnesty Day at the Buckman Road Recycling and Transfer Station, 118 tons of junk are off the streets and in the landfill. The station’s normal Saturday average of 350 vehicles was doubled to more than 742 cars and trucks. That’s good news. Now, for the not-so-good news. People who used Amnesty Day reported waiting in line for as long as two hours. Most of their trucks were idling, which means an excess of carbon monoxide was released into the atmosphere. Plus, no one wants to spend Saturday waiting in a long line, breathing in fumes. The Solid Waste Division needs to take what worked — high participation — and build on that success for betterrunning Amnesty Days in the future. We should make sure that going to the dump is, if not pleasant, less of a hassle. A lot of good happened last Saturday. There were 238 vehicles delivering household hazardous waste and chemicals, another 431 passenger tires went to the dump rather than arroyos and some 200 deliveries of electronic scrap were gathered for recycling. Each participant brought an average of 371 pounds of waste. Amnesty continued on Sunday, with the site accepting green waste and tires at no charge. Another 138 vehicles took part, bringing 30 tons of green waste for mulching and 437 tires for recycling. Folks at the Waste Management Agency should sit down, brainstorm and find ways to make amnesty a little less painful. There’s nothing to say that the agency can’t schedule more days of amnesty throughout the year. Divide the service area by ZIP codes or addresses, so that people are divided and waiting reduced. That way, lines won’t be so long, but the trash will be collected and dumped. Some cities, such as Oakland, Calif., provide dumping sites closer to where people live. Perhaps that’s a possibility for more easily transported waste, such as green clippings or tires. Spreading the amnesty period over several days is another way to redirect trash without long lines. We’d encourage use of modern technology, with Twitter updates about wait times or posts on the agency’s website letting people know when the line is shorter. A big-area Amnesty Day could still take place, but if targeted ones take place throughout the year, it might decrease the demand to unload unwanted stuff. Otherwise, Amnesty Day could become a victim of its own success.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: May 6, 1914: Melrose, N.M. — The town of Melrose was practically wiped out by fire yesterday, believed to be the work of incendiaries who were attempting, unsuccessfully, to rob the vault of the First National Bank upon which a similar attempt was made some time ago. Fifteen buildings were destroyed, including the business heart of the town, with a total loss of about $50,000 with some $10,000 in insurance. The blaze started at 3 in the morning and in 15 minutes was beyond control. After the fire had burned itself out, it was found that part of the masonry had been removed from the foundation of the bank vault in an effort to break through into the vault. May 6, 1964: Socrorro — A Northwestern University astronomer investigating New Mexico’s unidentified flying objects reports for the Air Force found the Socorro site trampled by sightseers today. “There‘s nothing there to see now,” said Dr. J. Allen Hynek. “But soil samples have been taken to determine if there are any particles in the ashes that are foreign to this area.” Dr. Hynek said one of the things that bother him about the New Mexico sights was the absence of any reported radar contacts in connection with the sightings. May 6, 1989: Flagstaff, Ariz. — Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald and his aides charged thousands of dollars to an American Express account after the Tribal Council put MacDonald on administrative leave and his aides were fired, a Flagstaff newspaper said Friday. MacDonald’s charges at bars, hotels and restaurants were comparatively modest ranging from $274 at Avanti’s in Phoenix to $149 at the Kyoto Restaurant in Scottsdale. However, the tribal officials were outraged by charges by MacDonald aids in violation of tribal policy. An official said only the chairman and vice chairman should have tribe-backed credit cards. Instead, the newspaper said, the former finance director and the director of economic development put charges from three other states amounting to nearly $5,000 on the card.

BOSTON — A Norman Rockwell painting of Boston Red Sox players that is estimated to sell for up to $30 million this month was shown off at Fenway Park on Monday with two of the men depicted in the work on hand to reminisce about its creation. The painting, The Rookie (Red Sox Locker Room), appeared on the cover of the March 2, 1957, issue of the Saturday Evening Post. Christie’s in New York is offering it May 22 with a pre-sale estimate of $20 million to $30 million. The painting shows Hall of Famer Ted Williams, pitcher Frank Sullivan, right fielder Jackie Jensen, catcher Sammy White, and second baseman Billy Goodman. The seasoned, confident players are seen facing an awkward newcomer arriving in the locker room for spring training — dressed in a crumpled suit and a battered bowler hat while also clutching a suitcase, baseball bat and gloves. On Monday, Sullivan and Rockwell’s model for the rookie — Sherman Safford — got to see the painting at Fenway.
Sullivan said he and some of his teammates didn’t know who Rockwell was when they were asked to pose for him in Stockbridge. Safford was a high school athlete from the western Massachusetts town of Pittsfield when he was asked to model for Rockwell. Safford says he was actually a better at basketball and didn’t make the high school baseball team. “Thanks to Mr. Rockwell, however, I got into the Hall of Fame before my heroes did — it was in the library, but that cover was there. It was awesome,” he said. Williams, nearing the end of his career, was the only player who did not pose in Rockwell’s hometown of Stockbridge. The artist had to rely on baseball cards and photographs for the details of his face. The anonymous owner acquired it in 1986, and it has remained in the same private collection since then. The painting was exhibited for six days at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston until Sunday. It was previously on show there in 2005 and 2008, following World Series victories by the Red Sox.

NEW YORK — Michelle Obama, one of the more fashion-conscious first ladies in decades, joined a who’s who of designers Monday as she cut the ribbon at the Metropolitan Museum’s new costume center. With fashion luminaries like Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Donatella Versace, Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren and others packed into the audience, the first lady helped launch the museum’s new $40 million Anna Wintour Costume Center, named for the editor of Vogue magazine. After her remarks, the designers and other guests toured the center’s inaugural exhibit, which features the designs of Charles James, an influential mid-20th century American couturier. “I’m here today because of Anna,” Mrs. Obama said. “I’m so impressed by Anna’s contributions not just to fashion but to this great museum. This center is for anyone who cares about fashion and how it impacts our culture and
our history.” The first lady, who wore a forest-green silk organza dress with three-quarter sleeves by Naeem Khan, one of her favorite designers, said the center would teach young people “that fashion is not just a business but an art” and that it would “be a source of learning and inspiration” for all ages. She also said she and Wintour are working to bring students to the White House for a fashion workshop. Through his complex, innovative work from the 1930s through the 1950s, James designed spectacular gowns that often resembled sculptures more than mere garments. The new Met show, Charles James: Beyond Fashion, emphasizes technology. In a large ground-floor gallery, animated videos illustrate how each gown was constructed, from the original piece of fabric to the intricate completed garment. James was born in England, but came to the United States at age 18, first to Chicago. He later centered his business in New York, catering to well-known socialites of the day.

BOB RODRIGUEZ, 1938-2014
Basketball coach known for tough, old-school style By James Barron The New Mexican
Bob Rodriguez is honored by Santa Fe High in December 2013 with a framed uniform in honor of his service as head boys basketball coach and teacher at the school. Rodriguez died Monday at the age of 75 after a fight with leukemia.
The sign that hung outside on Bob Rodriguez’s wall said it all about the former St. Michael’s and Santa Fe High head boys basketball coach. “Push to excel.” Rodriguez was tough, demanding, old-school and intense, but those who knew the former St. Michael’s and Santa Fe High head boys basketball coach the best say he did it out of the goodness of his heart and endeared himself to many former players and students.

Highlands fires women’s head coach as men’s resigns
Rodriguez died on Monday morning after a several-week bout with leukemia at the age of 75. Rodriguez was a 1956 St. Michael’s graduate, and coached from 1969-77 at his alma mater, as well as 10 years at Santa Fe High from 1982-1992. He was known for being a strict disciplinarian who got the most out of his teams. Son David Rodriguez, who is the current head coach at Santa Fe High, said his dad knew only one way to coach. “He did it the way he thought it should be done, no matter what people thought,” David Rodriguez said. “He
demanded respect from his kids and that was that.” Carl Marano played for the elder Rodriguez from 1987-89, and said he had a way of motivating players to perform beyond their own expectations. More important, though, was he taught essential life skills that Marano, who is the principal of Amy Biehl Community School, believes helped prepare him for life outside of high school. “I know the guys I played with are all pretty successful as far as their careers

One of college football’s most entertaining players leaps into the league
By Will Webber The New Mexican
They walked through the door together, so it’s only fitting they hit the road as one. Joe Harge resigned as men’s basketball head coach at New Mexico Highlands last Friday, the same day the school fired women’s head coach Tiffany Darling. Both had been with the school for six years. Harge, the son of University of New Mexico basketball legend Ira Harge, was 95-70 in his half-dozen years, leading the Cowboys to a 70-57 mark in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play. He took the Pokes to the postseason conference tournament in four of his six years and got NMHU into the NCAA Division II regional tournament once. His best work came in the front end of his time in Las Vegas. The Cowboys went 1-26 the year before he took over but his first team, the 2008-09 squad, established an NCAA record for the largest single-season turnaround when it finished 20-8 overall and won the RMAC West Division championship.

Early playoff exits lead to uncertain futures Losing teams face major questions, changes By Jon Krawczynski
The Associated Press
The Golden State Warriors were just over two minutes away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs for the second straight season, yet no matter how promising the young core is that they have assembled, the future of the team is anything but certain. When the Warriors let their lead over the Los Angeles Clippers in an emotional Game 7 slip away, the ground only got shakier under coach Mark Jackson’s feet. And he’s not alone. Almost every playoff team that lost in the first round this year faces major questions about its roster or coaching changes this summer, proving that being a part of one of the most exciting and competitive postseason rounds in recent memory is providing little solace to those that are going home early. The Raptors’ best player, point guard Kyle Lowry, becomes a free agent, and Toronto also has to address coach Dwane Casey’s job status. Dirk Nowitzki and Vince Carter will be free agents in Dallas.

Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel rolls out to throw a touchdown pass during a Nov. 17, 2012, game against Sam Houston State in College Station, Texas. Manziel could be the answer to Cleveland’s prayers as a quarterback. The polarizing and popular Texas A&M star will likely be available when the Browns pick fourth in next week’s NFL draft.

HOUSTON nd now comes the great leap to the NFL for Johnny Football. Johnny Manziel, a Heisman Trophy winner and one of college football’s most entertaining players, looks to translate his improvisational game to the next level. But questions abound about the quarterback’s skills and hardpartying habits. That’s why opinions vary on where he’ll end up on draft night. Many believe he should be picked early in the first round. Others, like former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski, don’t think he should be taken before the third round. If teams are sold on him as a player, he may

face obstacles from those reticent to deal with the circus-like atmosphere that seems to follow him everywhere. It’s difficult at times to separate Manziel from his over-the-top Johnny Football persona and figure out exactly who this 21-year-old Texan is. Is he the beloved teammate who piled up almost 10,000 yards in just two seasons and put the Aggies back on the football map? Or the petulant, Drakeobsessed, swag-oozing figure who mocked Rice defenders by fake-signing autographs after he was suspended by the NCAA for an autograph offense? The answer: probably a little of both.
But even some who question his character are still enamored of what he could bring to a team. “As far as the face of the franchise, sometimes that’s not definable,” NFL Network lead draft analyst Mike Mayock said. “I look at Johnny Manziel, whatever it is, he has it. I know on Sunday … he’s going to show up with an edge about him, thinking he’s the best guy on the field and he’s going to elevate the play of those around him. [But] I also struggle with him a little bit with his off-the-field antics.” Manziel’s recent pro day was more like a Hollywood production than an NFL workout. There was a soundtrack featuring Drake songs; a customized wardrobe from Nike; and former President George H.W. Bush, his wife Barbara and their two dogs watching from the sidelines.

Paul scores 32; Clippers roll past Oklahoma City By Cliff Brunt
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Chris Paul made a career-high eight 3-pointers and scored 32 points to help the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-105 Clippers 122 on Monday night in Game 1 of their Western Conference Thunder 105 semifinal. Paul, who had never made more than five 3-pointers in a game, had 10 assists. Blake Griffin scored 23 points, Jamal Crawford had 17 and J.J. Redick added 12 for the Clippers, who shot 55 percent from the field and made 15 of 29 3-point attempts. Russell Westbrook scored 29 points, Kevin Durant had 25 and Serge Ibaka added 12 for the Thunder, who suffered their worst home loss since moving to Oklahoma City. The Clippers scored 23 points off Oklahoma City’s 18 turnovers. Game 2 is Wednesday night in Oklahoma City. Both teams were coming off Game 7 wins in the first round on Saturday night. Oklahoma City opened by taking a 16-10 lead but the Clippers responded with a 24-6 run. Paul hit five 3-pointers in the first quarter, matching his career high for 3s in a playoff game in the first 12 minutes. The Clippers shot 67 percent in the first quarter to take a 39-25 lead. Los Angeles extended its lead to 24 points in the second quarter and took a 69-52 halftime lead with Paul getting 22 points and six assists. Durant and Westbrook scored 16 points each in the first half, but the Thunder committed 11 turnovers before halftime. A quick 3-pointer and a pull-up jumper by Paul pushed the Clippers’ lead to 78-56 in the opening minutes of the third quarter. The Clippers reached 100 points with just over a minute left in the period and led 104-78 heading into the fourth quarter.

Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Wizards won a second-round game for the first time since 1982 and are 4-0 on the road in this year’s playoffs. They ended a 12-game losing streak at Indiana that dated to April 18, 2007, and they did it by nearly leading from wire-to-wire. Paul George and George Hill had 18 points each for Indiana. The Wizards trailed only once, 31-30, and took control with a 17-6 run to close the first half that made it 56-43. Indiana couldn’t get closer than five points in the second half. Game 2 is Wednesday night in Indiana. The Pacers have lost both of their playoff series’ openers and will face another uphill battle — just days after rallying from a 3-2 deficit to beat Atlanta in seven games in the first round.

1917 — Bob Groom of the Browns duplicates teammate Ernie Koob’s feat of the previous day by pitching a 3-0 no-hit victory against the Chicago White Sox in the second game of a doubleheader in St. Louis. 998 — Rookie Kerry Wood ties the major league record with 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game, pitching a one-hitter to lead the Chicago Cubs over Houston 2-0.
Exits: Several teams expected to make roster, coach changes Continued from Page B-1 Zach Randolph can opt out of his deal with the Memphis Grizzlies and the Chicago Bulls will have to wait to see how Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah return from knee surgeries. “I love Coach more than anybody, and I think for him to be in a situation where his job is under scrutiny and under question is totally unfair,” Warriors guard Steph Curry said of Jackson, who jettisoned two of his assistants in a tumultuous 51-win season. “And it would definitely be a shock to me if anything like [replacing him] were to happen.” Life is rarely fair in the NBA, where George Karl was fired in Denver last season after being named coach of the year and Lionel Hollins was shown the door in Memphis after leading the Grizzlies to the Western Conference finals. Should the Warriors job open, several high-profile suitors likely would line up to take over a talent-laden roster that, when Andrew Bogut is healthy, can play the kind of hard-nosed defense it takes to go deep into the playoffs. The New York Knicks have had discussions with TNT analyst Steve Kerr, but would a chance to take over a team primed to win right away convince him to look elsewhere? In Toronto, Casey entered the season with a new general manager in Masai Ujiri and an uphill battle to keep his
Dallas Mavericks’ Devin Harris, left, and Vince Carter walk off the court arm-in-arm after their loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the opening-round playoff series on Sunday in San Antonio, Texas. The Spurs won 119-96. ERIC GAY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
job. He took advantage of a maturing Lowry and a blossoming DeMar DeRozan to get the young Raptors back into the playoffs, where they lost in seven games to the veterans from Brooklyn. The 28-year-old Lowry, who long has been a talented but stubborn player, averaged 21.1 points and shot 39.5 percent from 3-point range in the series. The Raptors’ rise was largely attributed to Lowry’s emergence as a dependable force, and now he will have a big decision to make. “I love this place, it’s as simple as that,” Lowry told reporters in Toronto, though he would not commit to staying. In Dallas, Nowitzki is widely expected to return to the only team he has ever
played for, the one that took the top-seeded Spurs the distance in the first round before getting blown out. But he will be 36 in June and the Mavericks will have to retool around him and Monta Ellis to take another step. The Bulls are also expected to make changes to the roster that once again overachieved. Carlos Boozer is a candidate to be amnestied and the offensively-challenged Bulls could try to lure Carmelo Anthony in free agency with the subsequent cap room. And in Memphis, Randolph has a $16.5 million player option that he could forgo to try to get one more long-term deal. “This is where I want to be at,” Randolph said. “This is home for me.”

In brief
St. Michael’s boys golf team wins district championship The St. Michael’s boys golf team couldn’t have picked a better time for an inspired performance. The Horsemen shot a team score of 315, their best of the season, to win the District 1A-AAA championship on Monday at Los Altos Golf Course in Albuquerque. The win puts the team automatically into next week’s Class A-AAA State Championships in Las Cruces. St. Michael’s had qualified as a team based on scores prior to the event, but it beat two favorites in Albuquerque’s Hope Christian and Sandia Preparatory at the district event. The Huskies came in with the lowest score out of all the A-AAA qualifiers, having shot a 310 just three weeks ago at the same course. This time, however, they ended up third at 321, behind the Sundevils, who shot a 317, and the Horsemen. Cody Van Damme led the St. Michael’s charge with a 2-over per 74, which was
good for a second-place tie with Hope’s Cam Zuni. The Horsemen also got a pair of 79s from Bradley Vaughan and Nate Spingler to go with Marshall Spingler’s 83 to give them the low-score honors. Hope Christian had Zuni and Eric Frazier (75) take second and fourth, respectively, but Slater Sivage’s 87 and Jared Knigge’s 85 offset those marks. Individually, Sandia Prep’s Isaac Alderete shot a 1-under 71 to win the event by three strokes. The Sundevils also had Jacob Helper in fifth with a 76.
Eastern New Mexico baseball players compete after arrests PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University allowed 17 baseball players to compete in a double-header a day after they were arrested following an off-campus fight. ENMU Athletic Jeff Geiser explained his decision to allow the team members to play Saturday against Angelo State by saying they are innocent until proven guilty, the Clovis News Journal reported. The players — nearly half of the team — each posted bail after being arrested Friday afternoon on suspicion of disorderly

conduct as a result of a fight at a Portales student housing complex. “Every situation is unique, and I think the truth will eventually come out, and I’m taking the approach that we’re innocent until proven guilty, and that will be my take on this,” Geiser said. ENMU President Steve Gamble said he had no details on the fight or the police investigation, and university Police Chief Brad Mauldin declined to comment. Eastern New Mexico and Angelo State split the double-header. The university caught the attention of the NCAA last fall after it was learned that numerous students had failed to earn enough credits to fulfill requirements that spell out how far along they must be in their degree programs. Some athletes also failed to declare their amateur status. At the time, Geiser said most of the violations, which dated back to the summer of 2012, were minor and stemmed from misinformed advising. The university offered to erase several seasons’ worth of victories by nearly all of its sports programs because of the violations. Athletics spokesman Phillip Pongratz said Monday the investigation is ongoing and the NCAA has yet to make a final decision. Staff and wire reports
Coach: Earned 114-27 record at St. Mike’s Continued from Page B-1 and with their families,” Marano said. “I think that is a testament to who he was. He put teaching and developing young men before wins and losses.” That’s not to say he wasn’t successful. He went 321-172 in 22 years as a varsity coach and his teams won district titles five times. He was inducted New Mexico High School Coaches Association’s Hall of Honor in July of 2013 and was honored by Santa Fe High during the Capital City Invitational in December with a framed uniform. His best mark was with St. Michael’s, where he amassed a 114-27 record with three District 2AAA titles and a third-place finish in Class AAA in the 1973-74 season. In the 1981-82 season, he led Pojoaque Valley to a third-place AAA trophy, and did the same at Santa Fe High in the 1989-90 season. David Rodriguez lauded his dad’s two state tournament
wins over Hobbs in 1984 and 1990 among his top accomplishments. He said the elder Rodriguez was in high praise from many people in Hobbs for his teams’ intensity. “They really admired him at Hobbs,” David Rodriguez said. “But he was admired by coaches from around the state, both young and old.” However, his style did grate on some members of the community, and it led to his dismissal at Santa Fe High in 1992 amid accusations of bullying and intimidation by thenplayers and parents. Marano felt Bob Rodriguez’s departure was not indicative of the coach he knew. “He was from a different era, but unfortunately, the way he went out in the early ’90s, it was different era,” Marano said. “But I wouldn’t have wanted to be raised to play in any different era.” Ironically, that led to the hiring of David Rodriguez, who held the position for another 10 years before he was let go. After retiring as a teacher, Bob
Rodriguez began to reform old friendships, which led to him playing on Senior Olympics teams. Bob Rodriguez’s emphasis on family transcended generations. He and his wife Imelda raised nine children, and he had 26 grand children and eight great grandchildren. Two of his sons, David and Ernie Rodriguez, followed in his footsteps and coach at Santa Fe High and Desert Academy. Santa Fe Public Schools superintendent Leslie RomeroKilmer, who was Bob Rodriguez’s goddaughter, said he was someone she could talk to for advice as well as good conversation when she returned to the city to be an assistant principal at Santa Fe High in 2011 and eventually principal. Romero-Kilmer said some of the best advice he gave her was to be her own person and not be intimidated by others. “I have always tried to make the right decisions, even though they are not always popular ones,” Romero-Kilmer said. “He respected me so
much for that, and I am proud I earned at respect. Not everybody gets his respect.” David Rodriguez said one of his last lessons was how to live until the very end. Friends, former players and students as well as family came to visit him over the final couple of weeks, including over the weekend. “He is all about family,” David Rodriguez said. “Always had been. He taught us all how to live, and he did that through his pain the last two or three weeks. He taught us how to die with dignity and acceptance.” There will be a viewing at 4 p.m. Wednesday, and a rosary at 6 p.m. at Cristo Rey Parish. His son expects to see plenty of faces at the church, where his dad attended mass. “The church will be busting at the gills,” David Rodriguez said. “The Rodriguez family would like to thank everyone statewide for the outpouring of prayers and well wishes. My dad was always grateful that he was able to work with all the great young men and women that he did.”
highlands: Team battled player turnover Continued from Page B-1 His teams were a combined 59-27 the first three years, finishing no lower than third in conference play. Before NMHU, Harge was a high school star at Albuquerque St. Pius X who later played at Oregon State. He had several coaching stints, once as a head coach in the now-defunct ABA, then as an assistant with the NBA Development League’s Albuquerque Thunderbirds. Darling never did have Harge’s kind of success, failing to crack the .500 mark in any season she was with the Cowgirls. She was 57-103 overall and just 37-88 in conference. Both teams were below .500 each of the past three seasons. NMHU interim athletic director Jim Deisler said Harge stepped down to pursue other opportunities while it was the Highlands administration who decided to lower the boom on Darling. “Joe put together a competitive program that had shown it can compete in our conference,” Deisler said. As for Darling, Deisler said the administration simply wanted to make a change. She led the Cowgirls to a 3-23 record in her first season, then won 38 games over the next three seasons before stumbling to a 4-22 mark two years ago. The constant
battle with player turnover and lack of consistency in the win column led to her dismissal. “For whatever reason she struggled to find the right formula with her teams,” Deisler said, adding that it wasn’t any one element of Darling’s tenure that led to her dismissal. “It was the combination of a lot of things,” he said. “In the end, it came down to the administration. The chose to go in a different direction with women’s basketball.” The school has not yet begun a search for either program’s replacement, but Deisler did hint about what qualifications NMHU is looking for. He said it’s probably too late in the offseason to find a top-quality candidate with head coaching experience, meaning Highlands is willing to consider an assistant coach whose past includes success on a consistent basis. There is no timetable for naming the new coaches. Deisler said the men’s position has a base salary of approximately $50,000, a figure that can fluctuate slightly depending on a candidate’s experience. The women’s job would pay roughly the same. Given the recent history of the men’s program, Deisler said he is hopeful that Harge’s early success can be resurrected under a new head coach. One problem, he said, is
the time-tested argument of funding. NMHU routinely operates with an annual athletics budget that is smaller than most of its RMAC rivals. In basketball, schools within the league can offer the equivalent of 10 full scholarships. Highlands, Deisler said, generally operates between seven and eight equivalencies depending on the school’s tuition and its overall financial well-being. Sometimes that total is less. Combine that with the fact that Highlands also supports football, a veritable money pit at Division II, while other RMAC schools do not, and it makes for an uneven playing field. Still, Deisler is expecting a strong pool of quality candidates for both jobs. “We feel good about the facilities, the university and the town of Las Vegas,” he said. “We have some issues we deal with, but overall, we are in a good place, I think.” DireCtor SearCh Deisler has been the interim athletic director for nearly eight months. He took over for Ed Manzanares back in September after Manzanares took an administrative job with The University of New Mexico. This week, NMHU is conducting a series of on-campus interviews with finalists seeking the permanent athletic director’s job. A full-time successor is expected to be named this month.

Kings shut down Ducks, take 2-0 series lead
The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jonathan Quick made 36 saves, Marian Gaborik scored his third goal in two games, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 Monday night to take a 2-0 lead in their second-round series. Alec Martinez also scored for the Kings, who opened their first playoff series against their local rivals with two vic-
tories at a road arena packed with their own fans. Dwight King added an empty-net goal for Los Angeles, which has won six straight postseason games and is halfway to its third straight trip to the Western Conference finals. Patrick Maroon scored a power-play goal and Jonas Hiller stopped 14 shots for the Ducks, who couldn’t crack the Kings’ NHL-best defense
despite controlling play for long stretches. Game 3 is Thursday at Staples Center. PenguinS 2, rangerS 0 In New York, Sidney Crosby scored his first goal of these playoffs, and Marc-Andre Fleury earned his second shutout of the Rangers in two nights as Pittsburgh regained home-ice advantage with victory in Game 3 on Monday night. Crosby snapped a 13-game
goal drought in the playoffs to give the Penguins the lead in the second period, and Jussi Jokinen added a breakaway goal. Fleury stopped 35 shots to back up his 22-save effort Sunday in a 3-0 win in Pittsburgh. He has eight career postseason shutouts and 51 wins. The Penguins, who lost the opener in overtime, lead the Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-1. Game 4 is Wednesday in New York.

NFL MOCK DRAFT
Clowney to Texans; WRs abound By Barry Wilner

2. St. Louis (7-9), from Washington Rams wouldn’t mind trading out of here, a pick they got in 2012 Robert Griffin III deal. If they keep it, they get different kind of RG: road grader. GREG ROBINSON, OT, AUBURN Gus Bradley has cut his teeth as a defensive master. Now he gets fierce pass rusher who could go at linebacker or end. KHALIL MACK, LB-DE, BUFFALO
4. Cleveland (4-12) If new front office regime makes this pick, it will make sense. If owner Jimmy Haslam insists on high-profile QB with Heisman Trophy in his collection, all bets are off. SAMMY WATKINS, WR, CLEMSON
5. Oakland (4-12) Having acquired Matt Schaub from Houston, Oakland’s QB issues are no longer front and center. Except that these are the Raiders, so … JOHNNY MANZIEL, QB, TEXAS A&M
6. Atlanta (4-12) Falcons badly need some protection for QB Matt Ryan, and there still are two readyfor-prime-time blockers available. They take one with NFL bloodlines. JAKE MATTHEWS, OT, TEXAS A&M
7. Tampa Bay (4-12) Sometimes by now, there’s a fall-off in talent from the very elite. Not in this draft, so Bucs help passing game with yet another Aggie. MIKE EVANS, WR, TEXAS A&M
8. Minnesota (5-10-1) Vikings will be tempted to add young quarterback, but with Christian Ponder flop still fresh in their minds, they go defense. ANTHONY BARR, LB, UCLA
9. Buffalo (6-10) Bills were hoping for Evans, also will consider other wideouts from deep class, then opt for just what coach Doug Marrone likes most: a rugged offensive lineman. TAYLOR LEWAN, OT, MICHIGAN
10. Detroit (7-9) Cornerback or safety to deal with Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler four times a season? If Lions stay put, they have choice of best at either position. JUSTIN GILBERT, CB, OKLAHOMA STATE
11. Tennessee (7-9) With Titans needing playmaker in secondary, best safety in this draft, from a winning program no less, is available. HA HA CLINTON-DIX, S, ALABAMA
12. New York Giants (7-9) With fans chanting for receiver or tight end, Giants do what they so often have done in past two decades: bolster defense with a stud. AARON DONALD, DT, PITTSBURGH

boost receiving corps once again — they took speedy Tavon Austin in first round last year. ODELL BECKHAM JR., WR, LSU
14. Chicago (8-8) Bears coveted Donald and also had their eyes on Gilbert. But there’s another topnotch defensive back left, and they grab him. DARQUEZE DENNARD, CB, MICHIGAN STATE
15. Pittsburgh (8-8) An aging team that needs a highly successful draft, Steelers concentrate on defense early and bolster linebacking corps. C.J. MOSLEY, LB, ALABAMA
16. Dallas (8-8) Cowboys have look of last-place team, especially on defense. Time to work on that area with a pass rusher. TIM JERNIGAN, DT, FLORIDA STATE
17. Baltimore (8-8) Baltimore’s offensive line has been inconsistent, but with top three tackles gone, GM Ozzie Newsome has to decide if a guard is worth this spot. ZACK MARTIN, G, NOTRE DAME
18. New York Jets (8-8) Jets didn’t expect best tight end in class to be on board, so they switch from defensive back considerations and grab … ERIC EBRON, TE, NORTH CAROLINA
19. Miami (8-8) Offensive line was mess even without bullying scandal. Ravens took guy Miami really sought, so Dolphins move on to … XAVIER SU’A-FILO, G, UCLA
20. Arizona (10-6) Carson Palmer’s heir, someone just as tall and solidly built, becomes second quarterback chosen. BLAKE BORTLES, QB, CENTRAL FLORIDA
21. Green Bay (8-7-1) The way Clay Matthews keeps getting nicked, Packers need another playmaker at linebacker. They have other defensive needs, too, with LB first spot addressed. RYAN SHAZIER, LB, OHIO STATE
22. Philadelphia (10-6) Chip Kelly’s speed-em-up offense gets another product from Beaver state, although not from his former team in Eugene. BRANDIN COOKS, WR, OREGON STATE
23. Kansas City (11-5) Chiefs must decide whether to address offensive line or receiver. Believing they can get good wideout later on, they go for … CYRUS KOUANDJIO, G-T, ALABAMA
24. Cincinnati (11-5) Michael Johnson left for Tampa, Geno Atkins comes off major injury, and one of top talents remaining happens to play D-line. KONY EARLY, DE, MISSOURI
25. San Diego (9-7) Cornerback with decent size, good athletic ability and strong coverage skills would help San Diego match up better with Peyton Manning. KYLE FULLER, CB, VIRGINIA TECH
26. Cleveland, from Indianapolis (4-12)
He attended this year’s Final Four with Drake, and the rapper dropped the track “Draft Day” last month in which he mentions the quarterback by name. “When you’re dealing with a high-profile position like the quarterback, obviously there’s some well-documented things to cover and to consider,” said Jon Gruden, the Monday Night Football analyst and former NFL coach. “Manziel brings a lot of excitement and interest to your organization. Maybe some people don’t want to be part of it. That will be up to them.” While this kind of spectacle might scare some away, from a marketing standpoint it could be a goldmine. Ken Ungar, president and founder of U/S Sports Advisors, a sports and entertainment marketing agency, says Manziel is a “marketer’s dream.” But he’s careful to point out that Manziel will have to produce in the NFL to
fulfill his marketing potential. “Even though he would inject a lot of excitement into teams like Cleveland and Jacksonville, if he’s not able to show the skills on the field, that won’t amount to much by the time October rolls around,” Ungar said. Manziel could also fill what will soon be a void with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady inching closer to the end of their careers. “If he shows the talent that we think he’s capable of, this will be a real boon to the entire NFL because it has to fill the pipeline of young talent as its most marketable stars near retirement age,” Ungar said. “That talent pipeline has to be fed in order to keep the NFL as the most popular sport property in the U.S.” Questions about Manziel’s character stretch back to before he ever threw a pass for the Aggies. Before his Heisman-winning season he
Oregon State athletic director Bob De Carolis announced on March 28 that head coach Craig Robinson would return for a seventh season as basketball coach, even penning a strongly worded letter of support for President Barack Obama’s brother-in-law. The more De Carolis thought about it, the more he realized it was a mistake. Reversing his course from five weeks earlier, De Carolis fired Robinson on Monday, ending the tenure of a coach who brought prestige to the university but who failed to get the Beavers to the NCAA Tournament during six seasons in Corvallis. “During a phone call with him on Thursday, I acknowledged to him that I had changed my mind,” De Carolis said. “Despite my sincere want for Craig to be successful at Oregon State, as the days moved on since March, it became clear to me that wanting it to work with Craig as our coach was not good enough. Oregon State University, our student-athletes and our loyal supporters deserve more than a simple desire. They deserve success.” The brother of first lady Michelle Obama, Robinson was hired during President Obama’s first presidential campaign in 2008 and gave the university some added attention that summer, when
he introduced his sister at the Democratic National Convention. Robinson also played basketball with the president on Election Day in 2012 and was with him during his private oath of office for the start of his second term. The results on the basketball court didn’t match what he was able to accomplish from a public-relations standpoint. Robinson had a solid start in Corvallis, taking a program that went 0-18 in the Pac-12 the year before to an 18-win season in 2008-09. After that, the Beavers’ results under Robinson were uneven, with Oregon State finishing no better than fifth in the Pac-12 in his six seasons, including 10th this year. Oregon State won 21 games in 2011-12, but went 7-11 in conference to miss the NCAA Tournament. After going 14-18 in 2012-13, the Beavers were 16-16 this season, including 8-10 in the Pac-12, and lost to Radford at home in the lower-tier College Basketball Invitational. Robinson went 94-105 overall — 39-69 in conference — with Oregon State after spending two seasons as Brown’s head coach. The Beavers have not reached the NCAA Tournament since 1990. Oregon State will pay $4.2 million to Robinson over the course of a contract that runs through 2016. “When Craig got here, it was not every good,” De Carolis said. “Yes, he got us to a different spot, which was good, but we just feel that to get to the next spot, we need a fresh start.”

was arrested in College Station after police said he was involved in a fight and produced a fake ID, leading to misdemeanor charges. He soon earned the starting job and set numerous school and Southeastern Conference records while leading Texas A&M to an 11-2 record and a victory over No. 1 Alabama in its first season in the SEC. Manziel didn’t have any more legal problems, but there was plenty of behavior that raised eyebrows after Manziel took home the Heisman. He tweeted that he couldn’t wait to leave College Station before his sophomore season; reportedly overslept at a football camp run by the Manning family; and was supposedly kicked out of a University of Texas fraternity party. Then he was suspended for the first half of the Aggies’ season opener against Rice for what the school said was an “inadvertent” violation of
NCAA rules involving signing autographs. He was investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers. He went on to throw for 3,723 yards and 33 touchdowns and had 686 yards rushing with eight scores. Manziel finished fifth in Heisman voting and soon declared for the draft with two years of eligibility remaining. Jacksonville general manager Dave Caldwell, whose team picks third overall, said last week he believes Manziel is the most NFL-ready quarterback in this year’s draft. But some worry the smallish Manziel (he’s a shade under 6-foot) won’t succeed in a league where 6-foot-5 quarterbacks are now the norm. And will his excessive scrambling work in the NFL? Gruden isn’t concerned about any of that. “All I know is I want Manziel,” he said.

Pistorius neighbor says shooting was accidental By Christopher Torchia and Gerald Imray The Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa — Using witness accounts of a panicked nighttime phone call from Oscar Pistorius begging for help and his desperate pleas for Reeva Steenkamp to stay alive, the defense at his murder trial tried to reinforce its case Monday that the doubleamputee Olympian fatally shot his girlfriend in a tragic error of judgment. Johan Stander and his daughter Carice Viljoen, neighbors and friends of Pistorius, testified that they were at the runner’s villa soon after the shooting on Feb. 14, 2013, and that Pistorius was praying, trying to help Steenkamp breathe and urging her to live. Viljoen testified that Pistorius was saying to Steenkamp as she lay on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds: “Stay with me, my love, stay with me.” The world-famous disabled runner had shot four times through a toilet cubicle door with his 9 mm pistol minutes earlier, hitting Steenkamp in the hip, arm and head. He claims he thought she was a dangerous intruder in the cubicle in his darkened bathroom. Prosecutors maintain Pistorius, 27, is lying about the perceived trespasser, and his story is designed to cover up that he killed the 29-year-
old model intentionally in the midst of a heated argument. The first amputee to run at the Olympics Oscar in 2012, PisPistorius torius faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of a premeditated murder charge. The testimonies from the neighbors began the seventh week of proceedings in the globally televised trial, which resumed after a two-week recess. Stander testified that Pistorius phoned him at around 3:19 a.m. — about two minutes after the shooting. Pistorius told him he had thought Steenkamp was an intruder and shot her, Stander testified, and Stander and his daughter went to Pistorius’ house after the world-famous runner pleaded for him to come and help. “I saw the truth there that morning. I saw it and I feel it,” Stander testified, saying he believed that the shooting was accidental because of Pistorius’ desperation when they found him carrying a bloodied Steenkamp downstairs from the upstairs bathroom. Pistorius was “really crying. He was in pain,” Stander said. Stander’s own voice shook at one point and he became emotional as he described Pistorius’ state.

AL-leading Tigers top Astros, win six in a row
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Max Scherzer pitched three-hit ball and struck out nine over eight innings, Tigers 2 leading the Detroit Astros 0 Tigers past the Houston Astros 2-0 Monday night for their season-high sixth straight victory. Rajai Davis broke a scoreless tie with an RBI single in the seventh and Victor Martinez hit a solo homer in the eighth. Catcher Alex Avila threw out two runners in the late innings for the Tigers, who have the best record in the AL. Houston, which has the worst record in the majors, has lost three in a row. Scherzer (4-1) earned his fourth straight win. TWINS 1, INDIANS 0 (10 INNINGS) In Cleveland, Eduardo Escobar homered leading off the 10th inning against Indians closer John Axford, giving Minnesota a win. Escobar, who entered as a pinch-hitter in the seventh, connected on a 1-0 pitch from Axford (0-3), driving it over the wall in right for his first homer since June 20 and fourth of his career in 344 at-bats. Caleb Thielbar (2-0) pitched a perfect ninth and Glen Perkins struck out two in the 10th for his eighth save. MArINerS 4, AThleTIcS 2 In Oakland, Calif., Stefen Romero hit his first major league home run to break a tie in the fifth inning, and Seattle beat the Athletics for their third straight victory and eighth in 10 games. Chris Young (2-0) allowed two hits over six strong innings to win his second straight start. He began the year with four straight no-decisions as he came back from shoulder surgery that caused him to miss much of 2013. The right-hander faced the minimum through three and didn’t allow a hit until Jed Lowrie’s one-out single in the fourth. Brandon Moss hit a tying two-run homer two batters later. INTERLEAGUE Blue JAyS 3, PhIllIeS 0 In Philadelphia, Jose Reyes hit a leadoff homer, J.A. Happ tossed three-hit ball over five innings, and Toronto beat the Phillies. Facing his former team, Happ (1-0) walked four and pitched out of trouble often in his first start of the season. The lefthander was filling in for injured righty Brendan Morrow. Four relievers finished off the sevenhitter. Kyle Kendrick (0-3) lost his eighth straight decision, dating to last season. He gave up three runs and seven hits in seven innings. The Phillies failed to go two games above .500 for the first time since Oct. 1, 2012. They are 0-4 in those situations this season. rockIeS 8, rANGerS 2 In Denver, Troy Tulowitzki homered twice, Jordan Lyles pitched eight strong innings, and the Rockies beat Texas. Nolan Arenado also homered to extend his hitting streak to 25 games. It is the longest in the majors this season. Tulowitzki, who was named the NL Player of the Month for April before the game, had his first multi-homer game of the season and the ninth of his career. He hit a two-run shot off Texas starter Martin Perez in the fifth and hit another tworun homer off reliever Shawn Tolleson to give Colorado a 7-1 lead in the seventh. WhITe Sox 3, cuBS 1 (12 INNINGS) In Chicago, Marcus Semien hit a tiebreaking RBI double in a two-run 12th, Jose Quintana pitched one-hit ball over seven innings, and the White Sox beat the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Quintana and five relievers combined on a four-hitter, and the White Sox came away with the win after dropping four straight and six of seven to their crosstown rivals. The winning rally started when Alexei Ramirez singled off Justin Grimm with two out and stole second. Tyler Flowers walked, and Semien lined a 1-1 pitch over third baseman Mike Olt’s head to make it 2-1.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL May 6
1915 — As a pitcher for Boston, Babe Ruth had three hits, including his first major league home run when he connected off Jack Warhop of the New York Yankees at the Polo Grounds. 1917 — Bob Groom of the Browns duplicated teammate Ernie Koob’s feat of the previous day by pitching a 3-0 no-hit victory against the Chicago White Sox in the second game of a doubleheader in St. Louis. 1951 — Cliff Chambers of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched a 3-0 no-hitter in the second game of a doubleheader against the Braves in Boston. 1953 — Bobo Holloman of the St. Louis Browns pitched a 6-0 no-hitter against the Philadelphia Athletics in his first major league start. He never pitched another complete game in the majors. 1982 — Gaylord Perry of the Seattle Mariners became the 15th major league pitcher with 300 victories when he defeated the New York Yankees 7-3 at the Kingdome. 1994 — Anthony Young won as a starter for the first time in more than two years as the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1. The win ended Young’s 29-game losing streak as a starter.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Cardinals hand slumping Braves 7th straight loss The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Matt Carpenter’s tworun double in the fifth inning helped carry the St. Louis Cardinals past the slumping Atlanta Cardinals 4 Braves, who shook up their lineup but Braves 3 still lost their seventh in a row, 4-3 Monday night. Desperate for more offense, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez batted pitcher Aaron Harang eighth and put second baseman Ramiro Pena in the ninth spot. Pena had two hits, including a seventh-inning homer that brought the Braves within a run, but they couldn’t overcome a 4-0 deficit. The last time the Braves had such a lengthy losing streak was May 21-28, 2012, when they dropped eight in a row. Their longest skid last season four straight. Taking advantage of shaky defense, Carpenter doubled in two runs and Matt Holiday followed with a run-scoring single. Peter Bourjos had an RBI single in the sixth to extend St. Louis’ lead. Shelby Miller (4-2) got the win and
Trevor Rosenthal earned his ninth save. Harang (3-3) took the loss. The Braves put a runner at second with one out in the ninth against Rosenthal, but he retired Pena on a fly to right and Justin Upton on a called third strike to the game — Upton’s fourth strikeout of the night. MArlINS 4, MeTS 3 In Miami, Casey McGehee hit a sharp grounder that caromed into right field off the back of reliever Gonzalez Germen’s foot, allowing the winning run to score, and the Marlins rallied late from a three-run deficit to beat New York. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a tying double in the eighth off Daisuke Matsuzaka, who failed to retire any of the five batters he faced in relief of Jonathon Niese. Giancarlo Stanton had an RBI single and the Marlins scored another run on shortstop Omar Quintanilla’s fielding error in the eighth. Christian Yelich led off the ninth with a single off Scott Rice (0-1). He advanced to second on Ed Lucas’ sacrifice. Germen intentionally walked Giancarlo Stanton before McGehee got his RBI single. Marlins closer Steve Cishek (2-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.
BreWerS 8, DIAMoNDBAckS 3 In Milwaukee, Carlos Gomez hit a home run and drove in three runs to lead the Brewers to a win over Arizona. Martin Maldonado and Jean Segura also homered for Milwaukee, which had lost four of its last five entering the game. The Brewers still have the best record in baseball at 22-11. Milwaukee remained the only team in baseball to not lose when scoring at least four runs, improving to 18-0 in those games. Matt Garza (2-3) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings for Milwaukee. Mike Bolsinger (1-2) took the loss for the Diamondbacks after giving up four runs and seven hits in five innings. GIANTS 11, PIrATeS 10 (13 INNINGS) In Pittsburgh, a throwing error by pitcher Jared Hughes on a sacrifice bunt by reliever Jean Machi in the 13th inning allowed San Francisco to score the winning run and overcome a six-run deficit to beat the Pirates. Hughes (1-1) came on to start the 13th. With one out, he walked Hunter Pence and hit Juan Perez with a pitch. Machi (5-0), in just the second plate appearance of his four-year career, then dropped down a bunt, which Hughes
fielded and threw wildly past first base as Pence scored from second base. Backup catcher Hector Sanchez had four hits and three RBIs in the Giants 20-hit attack, while Buster Posey, who got a day off from catching, had three hits, three runs scored and two RBIs. Machi pitched two scoreless innings and Sergio Romo worked the 13th for his 10th save. NATIoNAlS 4, DoDGerS 0 In Washington, Anthony Rendon hit a two-run homer in the first inning Monday night, and — thanks to an oddmoving storm that produced an interminable rain delay — the Nationals didn’t finish off Los Angeles until some six hours later on Tuesday morning, holding on for a victory and gaining sole possession of first place in the NL East. Jordan Zimmerman pitched four shutout innings before the game was halted, and five relievers threw an inning apiece after play resumed. In between, there was a delay of 3 hours, 17 minutes while a narrow, cigar-shaped storm took its time soaking D.C. and not much else. As it was, Aaron Barrett (2-0) got the win, Zack Greinke (5-1) got a hardluck first loss of the season and Danny Espinosa added a two-run homer in the eighth.

He is staying at a hotel, but he visited my sister’s house to see his aunt and his grandma, who live near his place of business. My niece and her husband also came by to see my son. My son spent a few hours napping in my niece’s old bedroom and then left for the hotel. Two days later, my son got a call at 2 a.m. from his aunt asking whether he had found a ring in his bag, because her daughter said she left her ring on the makeup table in her old room. Mind you, she didn’t notice it was missing for two days. And while my son was in her room, he left his bag in the living room. So I guess my sister is accusing my son of stealing the ring. My son denied taking the ring and was very upset and angry. He is still overseas, and I don’t want to discuss this with him now and disturb his business appointments. My son has never had problems stealing as far as we know. He lives in L.A. and is financially secure. What is the best approach to this situation? Should I just pay the value of the ring to my sister? Should we wait until my son comes back and ask what happened? — Upset Mom in USA Dear Mom: Yes, please wait until your son comes back. You don’t seem 100-percent certain that he didn’t take the ring. And of course, it’s equally possible that your niece put the ring somewhere else, doesn’t recall doing so and believes your son took it. Things are misplaced all the time, and others are often blamed. Tell your sister you will speak to your son as soon as he returns and work it out. If you believe he is responsible for the ring, ask how much it would cost to replace it. If you think your son is innocent, you could offer to split the cost for the sake of family harmony. The
price of the ring is less important than the relationship with your sister. Dear Annie: I was recently in the emergency room and then admitted to the critical care unit for three days in danger of bleeding out. I remained in the hospital for an additional three days. What hurts more than the illness is that not a single person from my family, including my parents and eight siblings, called or visited me. The hospital is close to them, and part of the time I was there, it was a weekend, and they weren’t working. Was I expecting too much? Wouldn’t any decent person call to express concern for a hospitalized family member? It certainly changes how I feel about them. — Sick at Heart Dear Sick: Of course your family members should have expressed their concern. But did they know? Sometimes, we assume people are aware that we are sick or hospitalized, but they don’t find out until you’ve been home for a week. Please call your parents and siblings. Ask why they seemed so indifferent to your situation. Let them know how much it hurt you. We hope things can be mended. Dear Annie: Your advice to “A Wife” regarding job applications was spot on, especially when you said, “Be sure to include a cover letter.” When I owned my own business, I would not consider an applicant’s resume without a cover letter. Only once did I disregard this rule and hired a person whose qualifications were exactly what I was looking for. She quit a month later, saying she was bored. I should have known, because she was not motivated enough to write a cover letter in the first place. A few years later, she contacted me and asked for her job back. I declined. — Paco from Albany, N.Y.

Administration could pay drops to 75 percent until 2086, when it drops to 73 percent. That’s hardly “bankrupt.” But it’s important to keep in mind: Congress regularly institutes small changes that maintain solvency. For example, the maximum earnings subject to Social Security taxation rose to $117,000 this year, up from $113,700 in 2013. Just to give you a sense of how that number has increased over time, when Social Security was instituted in the 1930s, the maximum taxable earnings amount was $3,000. Also, the full retirement age has gradually been raised. For people born between 1943 and 1954, the full

retirement age is 66. Starting with people born in 1955, that age goes up incrementally, two months at a time. In other words, for people born in 1959, the full retirement age is 66 and 10 months. For everybody born in 1960 or later, full retirement age is 67 currently, but that’s almost certain to also go up at some point. So when you hear the shouting class on TV insisting that one political party or the other is taking away your Social Security, just turn it off. In fact, it’s better to just never watch the financial chatter on the cable channels at all. I was once a CNBC junkie, but I stopped watching about a year ago and feel much calmer now.

Now that we’ve established that Social Security will indeed be there for the baby boom generation, let’s move on to some strategies to maximize your income. Plenty of people underestimate the value of Social Security, but for the average retiree, it makes up about 40 percent of his or her retirement income stream. That’s not something to take lightly! But that “average” retiree makes some serious Social Security mistakes. According to data from Annexus, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based distributor of fixed indexed annuities, the average retiree leaves $100,000 in lifetime

County construction job data a mixed bag
Santa Fe startup’s hard cider resembles wine more than beer
E
veryone is waiting for the construction sector to come back — and recent numbers are still mixed for Santa Fe County. The total number of construction jobs increased 500 in the 12 months ending March 2014. That’s a gain of almost 20 percent and the largest increase the sector has seen in eight years. Still, the employment total of 3,100 is 35 percent below March of 2007, the last year before the housing meltdown. On another measure, the next few months may not seem especially hopeful for more gains. The McGraw Hill Construction index for the value of buildBruce ing permits for Krasnow Santa Fe County Business Matters shows that in the first quarter, January to March, residential permits are up 40 percent to $8.1 million, but non-residential permits are down a whopping 98 percent — from $36 million in 2013 to just $720,000 so far in 2014. Of course, one or two projects such as a hotel, major road work or a school can have a big impact on nonresidential, which includes warehouses, hotels, retail, government, educational and religious buildings. It also includes health care buildings, and on that front it seems some large projects are in the pipeline over the next 12 months, from the new Presbyterian Healthcare Services clinic on St. Michael’s Drive to the Christus St. Vincent south-side clinic, and other improvements and additions at the main hospital building.

T
wo Santa Fe residents are working seven days a week and multiple jobs so they can eventually sell hard cider for a living. But Jordana “Jordy” Dralle and Michelle Vignery of Santa Fe Cider Works are only part of a nationwide upswing of cider producers. The Street, a financial news organization, reported that in 2013, the cider market expanded from a $90 million to a $172 million industry, and that large brewing companies such as AnheuserBusch In Bev, Molson Coors and SABMiller have entered the cider game. But consumers don’t need to scan national headlines to see the cider emergence. In Northern New Mexico alone, three different businesses have entered the hard-cider market, including New Mexico Hard Cider in Nambé, the startup Santa Fe Hard Cider Co. and Santa Fe Cider Works. “The cider market is exploding,” Dralle said, in the same way the craft beer market erupted in 1985. Santa Fe Cider Works’ headquarters is tucked away behind a strip mall near Airport Road and Center Drive. It’s a tight space, 500 square feet, but Dralle and Vignery plan to be there for the next three or so years. Afterward, they said they want to upgrade to a bigger space in town, and eventually, they would like to purchase an apple orchard and relocate their operations there. Dralle has been a brewer for the past 25 years and currently works for Second Street Brewery. She runs the production side of the operation. Vignery is the business manager. But the distinctions seem arbitrary for the moment, as both share responsibilities that include prepping apples and finding new clients. The two have made cider as a hobby for the past

In brief
‘WSJ’ reports on ‘Bacon Bounce’ in Taos The Wall Street Journal has dubbed the renewed interest in Taos Ski Valley real estate the “Bacon Bounce” after New York hedge fund manager Louis Bacon has purchased the ski business, promising to invest millions in the mountain. Among those interviewed in Cecilie Rohwedder’s article, “Can Hedge Fund Titan Turn Taos Around” were Peter and Wendy Trevisani, both fund managers at Thornburg Investment Management in Santa Fe, who paid $750,000 for a three-bedroom condominium. Three other condos in the complex have sold at their asking price since the Bacon announcement. Like everything else in New Mexico, the prices are still below pre-recession levels, but “the activity comes after a long period of stagnation in the small ski town known for steep chutes, diz-

zying altitude and grand views across the high desert of Northern New Mexico.” It’s not unusual that the Trevisanis, who have three young children, would want to vacation close to home — both travel thousands of miles a year for their jobs at Thornburg Investment, a Santa Fe-based firm that invests in companies all over the world. The article also quotes Jerome de Bontin, former general manager of the New York Red Bulls soccer team, who plans to redevelop three parcels in the base area to create a hotel and condo units, as well as a private area for valet services and parking.
Event venue for charities, nonprofits Gallery LouLou Vacation Home & Event Manor is opening its doors to charitable organizations. Luellen Smiley, owner and founder, and her business partner, Rudy Funk, invite local charities and nonprofits to submit a request for a special event. The gallery
is located at 343 E. Palace Ave., across the street from La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa. The historically and culturally significant home was the residence of legendary New Mexico State Fish and Game Commissioner Elliott Barker. The elegant Dutch Colonial built in 1907 is 2,600 square feet sandwiched between two outdoor porches. The private garden leads into a movie theater, where DVDs are projected on the wall. The design décor is a collaboration of black and white rock ‘n’ roll photography and 19th-century Southwestern architecture. Guests may wander from the front porch through French doors into a jazzy, cranberry red and Moroccan blue living room, and into the formal dining room that seats 10. The house capacity for an event is 86 guests. Smiley and Funk will try to meet the needs of the requests by charging a flat fee of $500 and a cleaning fee. Interested parties will have until June 15 to book an event, subject to availability. For more information, contact Luellen Smiley at loulousmiley@yahoo.com.

beers. The beers are made with barley malt but are crafted in a way that de-natures the gluten during fermentation. Then, to ensure results, the finished beers are tested at a Alcohol Tax and Trade Bureau and American Society of Brewing Chemists-certified laboratory. According to president and brewmaster Rod Tweet, the results are showing gluten levels of 10 ppm or less. This process has no discernible impact on the flavor or body of the beer. Tweet said that after finding out about the new technology and hearing feedback from many patrons wanting a locally brewed beer for gluten-sensitive diets, he decided to try the experiment. The FDA recently adopted standards for “gluten free” products and labeling. The standard is 20ppm. While the IPA and Kolsch that Second Street will serve have greatly reduced gluten below the 20ppm threshold, results for those suffering from Celiac disease can vary from person to person, and consumption should be approached cautiously.

BUSINESS MATTERS
CEO’s Gathering Helps Board with Annual Planning Process A group of thirty local CEO’s and business leaders met in April to share ideas and thoughts as to how the Chamber can most effectively pursue its mission to Grow the Local Economy and Serve as the Voice of Business. Attendees included: Mike Loftin of Homewise, Paul Margetson of Hotel Santa Fe, Brian Byrnes of the Santa Fe Community Foundation, Bruce Tassin of Christus St Vincent, Dr Joel Boyd Superintendent of Santa Fe Public Schools, Kathy Keith of the Regional Development Corp. and Bill Sisneros of El Gancho as well as twenty Chamber Board members. The focus of the conversation was jobs and how the Chamber can collaborate in the community.
The following day the Board met for six hours to discuss the Plan of Work for FY 2014-15 and talked about issues such as infrastructure, workforce development, community development and internal communications. The feedback from the leaders was extremely helpful and Chair of the Board Chip Chippeaux commented “It was very useful to hear from such a wide range of leaders about their challenges and how the Chamber can better advocate for community improvement and job creation.” Chamber staff is actively designing the Plan of Work which will be available in the next few weeks. Members are invited to participate and weigh in on the issues that most affect their businesses. Simon Brackley President and CEO

NEW MEXICO BANK & TRUST
HALEY RITCHEY
My strongest professional advice to any woman who was considering entrepreneurship would be to prepare financially. Growing a business takes time and patience. By planning in advance, setting aside funds for incidentals, you can eliminate having to borrow to sustain. I also believe that owning a business means being ready to offer your customer 100% dedication. My clients are not only my customers, through time we have developed a friendship and family atmosphere. Remember to be personable and make sure your clients know they come first, and results will yield. At NMB&T great customer service includes advising business owners. For that reason, our bank places a heavy emphasis on counseling new business owners. This includes connecting them with the Small Business Development Center or SCORE, which can help them devise a comprehensive business plan which includes proformas, management needs, and budgeting. It is essential for any new business owner to build a strong advisory team in addition to their banker, including an attorney and accountant. An initial investment in good legal and accounting advice will pay dividends as a business grows. Go for it! Santa Fe is very supportive of locally owned businesses and female business owners are increasing in number. I have been received warmly in Santa Fe since opening my doors nearly eight years ago! There are numerous resources available for those thinking of starting a business. The Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Administration, and several networking groups- some specifically for women- are great places to gather information and advice from other like-minded professionals. Like anything, owning a business has its challenges and the rewards are plentiful!

In brief
BizMIX grant finalists announced
Los Alamos National Laboratory and RG Construction of Rio Rancho will be signing a mentor-protégé agreement on May 7 at the New Mexico Veterans Business Expo and Job Fair at the Albuquerque Convention Center. This working arrangement between LANL and RG Construction will promote economic and technological growth, promote and foster the establishment of long-term business relationships, and provide opportunities for the protégé (RG Construction) to gain visibility within the Department of Energy complex. “Mentor-protégé agreements with Northern New Mexico businesses are beneficial to the Laboratory and also help local businesses grow and expand, which in turn contributes to the economic development of the region,” said Chris Fresquez, Los Alamos’ Small Business Program manager. “We look forward to working with RG Construction through this new mentor-protégé agreement.” The expo and job fair continues May 8, and businesses can meet qualified veterans, look for reliable suppliers and network with other businesses and agencies at the local, state and federal level. Los Alamos’ Small Business Program Office is a sponsor of the business expo and job fair. For more information, write to business@lanl.gov.

Cider: Can be found at area eateries, liquor stores Continued from Page E-1 10 years. Some batches were OK, and others were not, they said, but an excellent raspberry cider batch inspired them. “It was just so good, we thought we could do this commercially,” Vignery said. Santa Fe Cider Works’ flagship product is the aptly named “Cider Different.” This beverage shouldn’t be compared to other mainstream ciders such as Angry Orchard or Strongbow. First, this cider is still, not carbonated. Unlike the 5 percent alcohol by volume in Angry Orchard, the Cider Different is at 7 percent, which is akin to stronger stouts or porters. The cider, a pale, translucent yellow, is not as sweet as similar hard ciders, and that allows the taster to revel in the apple start and the bite of alcohol at the end. It’s comparable to a sweet white wine, and the duo said it should be served as such. And like wine, they sell the cider in green 750-millimeter bottles instead of the six-packs of many mainstream ciders. While beer involves some cooking and then fermenting, cider abstains from that first step, and the creation process is more akin to winemaking. First, Dralle and Vignery parsed through 12 tons of apples they ordered in November 2013. About half came from Colorado, and the rest from Washington. They said they wanted to buy apples from New Mexico orchards, but the past season was unfruitful, so they had to
munity lending organization, has received a $250,000 investment from the Santa Fe Community Foundation. The investment will go to fund low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs and nonprofits in Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, Taos, Los Alamos, San Miguel and Mora counties. This is the second partnership for the foundation, whose board has decided to invest a percentage of its pooled assets into local impact projects, some $2 million initially. The first loan of $250,000 was made in February to Homewise, so the nonprofit housing organization can expand the dollars going to families needing home-improvement loans. The Loan Fund has $1.8 million in loans outstanding in Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, Taos, Los Alamos, San Miguel and Mora counties. These loans have helped secure more than 200 jobs. “We are excited to partner with The Loan Fund on this investment” said Brian Byrnes, president/CEO of the Santa Fe Community Foundation, in a statement. “With a proven track record of creating economic opportunities for under-served small businesses, entrepreneurs and nonprofits in our region, The Loan Fund is a natural partner for our Local Impact Investing Initiative, which will deploy a portion of our invested assets into causes that achieve social impact and generate a financial return. This investment will direct additional capital to low-income communities in a way that complements the grants we make to enhance economic playing field for all northern New Mexicans.” Leroy Pacheco, president and CEO of The Loan Fund, said the money will “provide new resources to empower individuals and families in Northern New Mexico whose dreams are to start or grow their own small businesses.” People interested in applying for assistance should call 505-243-3196 or 866-873-6746. The Loan Fund is an Albuquerque-based nonprofit organization that provides loans from $5,000 to $500,000 and consulting services to small businesses, entrepreneurs and nonprofits across the state that are typically unable to access credit through traditional lending sources. Founded in 1989, The Loan Fund has made more than $54 million in loans since its inception that have secured more than 7,300 jobs in New Mexico.
go out of state. And they learned buyers have to request apples without stickers, or they will be left to peel every adhesive off, as they did last winter. Once the apples are sorted and washed, they enter a grinder, where they are cut down to pea-size chunks. Any smaller, Vignery said, and they would have apple sauce; any larger, and they will not produce the ideal amount of juice. The pea-sized apple bits are transferred to a giant canister, where they’re juiced. The juice is then mixed with some yeast and left to set for about two to three weeks. Each type of yeast will produce a different flavor, which allows the duo to alter the final beverage without having to produce different juice. After the fermentation process is finished, the cider is left to sit for another three to six months. The cider is then hand-bottled and shipped. Currently, Santa Fe Cider Works is available in restaurants and some liquor stores throughout Santa Fe, such as Second Street Brewery, Backroad Pizza and the Liquor Barn. The product is also sold at a few locations in Albuquerque, Taos, Tesuque and Pojoaque. The cider also can be purchased at the cidery and headquarters at 4363 Center Place during one of the duo’s open houses. The next open house is from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday. A bottle from Santa Fe Cider Works costs about $15.
It’s May, and is anyone else missing plastic grocery bags? Dirty gardening tools, wet flipflops, swimsuits, camping clothes? Oh, the joy of disposing of a wet plastic bag after using it several times, not washing and cleaning something else in the house. I wonder how long it will be before fugitive plastic grocery bags start showing up at the flea markets.

Finance: Many get Social Security too early Continued from Page E-1 Social Security benefits on the table. That’s due to claiming benefits too early or not having a strategy for maximizing Social Security income. The average married couple forgoes $250,000 in lifetime benefits. Don’t be those people. Here’s another statistic that illustrates how people shortchange themselves. Nearly three-quarters of retirees claim Social Security benefits at age 62, the earliest age at which they are eligible. But when you do that, you only get 75 percent of your full retirement benefit. I understand that plenty of people
need the money and don’t have much of a choice. But I’ve met others who simply didn’t realize the financial impact of waiting. For every year you delay Social Security, you get paid 8 percent by the government. When you layer cost-of-living adjustments on top of that, the difference is even more substantial. Social Security strategy is a big topic, and it’s worth continuing in my next column. There are more than 8,000 different strategy combinations, when you take into account different courses for singles, married couples, widows and widowers, and divorcees. In my seminars, I frequently get ques-
tions about strategies for married couples, such as “file and suspend,” or “claim and switch.” Many of the same strategies also apply to divorced people. In June, I’ll delve into some of these options and examine some situations in which they are best applied. Please send any financial planning questions to kate@portfoliollc.com. I’m interested in hearing about your concerns, and I’m happy to help. Kate Stalter is a financial planner with New Mexico-based Portfolio Wealth Advisors.
