Airport eatery lease raises red flag Restaurant operator, with ties to mayor, behind on rent; issue could impact FAA grants
By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican
The manager of the Santa Fe Municipal Airport says Mayor David Coss told her to go easy on restaurant operators who are months behind in rent and have been miscalculating their rent payments since 2010. At least one of the restaurant operators is politically con-
nected to Coss. Film industry union representative Jon Hendry, who is listed in state records as an organizer of Duke City Gourmet Co. LLC, which runs the one and only restaurant at the airport, has been a political backer of Coss. Neither Hendry nor Coss returned calls for comment late Tuesday.
But city spokeswoman Jodi McGinnis Porter said Coss’ directive didn’t have anything to do with his relationship with Hendry. “The Mayor routinely instructs staff to be courteous in dealing with members of the public, contractors and partners,” McGinnis Porter said in an email.
Santa Fe officials say the city is working with Duke City, which operates the lone restaurant at Santa Fe Municipal Airport, on a new lease. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO THE NEW MEXICAN

hieves have made off with several thousand dollars worth of copper wire in recent weeks. But stealing it — and avoiding being electrocuted in the process — is only half the job. Copper thieves also need to find a place to sell the metal. The easiest way to unload metal for
money is at a local recycling business. But that isn’t as simple as it sounds — especially since 2012, when the state Legislature passed a bill imposing more stringent requirements on both buyers and sellers. The Sale of Recycled Metals Act requires sellers to present a valid form of identification — either a state-issued ID or a passport — and sign a document affirming that the metal they’re selling belongs to them. Metal recyclers must register with the
state Regulation and Licensing Department, and at the time of a purchase, they must record the seller’s license plate number, as well as the make, model and year of the car the seller is driving. The metal recycler has to keep all this information on file for 18 months. The records are subject to random inspection from authorities — including city, state and

Insurgents test Obama’s war policies While U.S. remains out of Syria, troops likely to stay in Afghanistan By Julie Pace and Lara Jakes The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has been confronted with a recent burst of strength by al-Qaida that is chipping away at the remains of Mideast stability, testing his hands-off approach to conflicts in Iraq and Syria at the same time he pushes to keep thousands of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Al-Qaida-backed fighters have fought hard against other rebel groups in Syria, in a sideshow to the battle to unseat President

Bashar Assad. Across the border in Iraq, they led a surprisingly strong campaign to take two of the cities that U.S. forces suffered heavy losses to protect. This invigorated front highlights the tension between two of Obama’s top foreign policy tenets: to end American involvement in Mideast wars and to eradicate insurgent extremists — specifically al-Qaida. It also raises questions about the future U.S. role in the region if militants overtake American gains made during more than a decade of war. In Afghanistan, Obama already has decided to continue the fight against extremists, as long as Afghan President Hamid Karzai

Staff and faculty morale at Santa Fe Community College dropped amid the turmoil leading to the December ouster of president Ana “Cha” Guzmán, according to an employee satisfaction survey released Tuesday by the Governing Board. The Noel-Levitz College Employee Satisfaction Survey, conducted over a two-week period in October, asked 51 questions about campus climate, policies, communication and student well-being, among other issues. NoelLevitz is a national higher-education consulting group. About 345 — or 40 percent — of the college’s 862 employees responded to the anonymous online survey, which also compared SFCC’s responses to those of employees at 20 to 30 other community colleges across the nation. Among the more common themes found in the survey: a lot of criticism — and some praise — of Guzmán’s leadership style, as well as concerns about the treatment and training of adjunct faculty members, poor communication on campus and concern that students come last. Many of those surveyed wrote about a climate of fear and retaliation without mentioning the president by name. Of those who did name Guzmán — either by her name or her title — close to 25 cited her as the main problem, and about 10 said they supported her. A few offered mixed
signs off on a joint security agreement. Obama seeks to leave as many as 10,000 troops there beyond December, extending what already has become the longest U.S. war. But officials say he would be willing to withdraw completely at the end of this year if the security agreement cannot be finalized. That would mirror the U.S. exit from Iraq, the other unpopular war Obama inherited. A spike in sectarian violence followed the U.S. withdrawal at the end of 2011, and now followed by the recent, alarming takeover of Ramadi and Fallujah by an al-Qaida affiliate known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Ex-N.Y. cops charged in disability scam NEW YORK — One retired police officer who told the government he was too psychologically damaged to work ran a martial arts studio, prosecutors said. Another claimed his depression was so crippling it kept him house-bound, but he was photographed aboard a watercraft, they said. All were wrongly receiving thousands of dollars in federal disability benefits, prosecutors said Tuesday in announcing a sweeping fraud case involving scores of retired officers, firefighters and jail guards. The retirees faked psychiatric problems, authorities said, and many falsely claimed their conditions arose after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. “The brazenness is shocking,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said. More than 100 people were arrested, including 72 city police officers, eight firefighters, five correction officers and one Nassau County Police Department officer.
USAF copter crashes in England, killing 4 LONDON — A U.S. Air Force Pave Hawk helicopter crashed in the coastal marshes of eastern England during a training mission Tuesday night, killing all four crew members aboard, officials said. The helicopter crashed at about 6 p.m. local time near Salthouse on the Norfolk coast, a statement from the U.S. Air Force said. The aircraft was based at the nearby Royal Air Force station in Lakenheath, Suffolk County, which hosts USAF units and personnel. The helicopter, assigned to the 48th Fighter Wing, was flying low at the time of the crash, the statement added. In Washington, a U.S. defense official said the accident killed the four U.S. Air Force crew members aboard. The Associated Press

Passengers unload luggage after arriving at Union Station after Amtrak’s Southwest Chief from Los Angeles became stuck in snow drifts on Tuesday in Chicago. Severe weather forced hundreds of passengers to spend the night onboard trains stranded in heavy snow. ANDREW A. NELLES/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stranded in deep freeze By Jason Keyser The Associated Press
CHICAGO he Amtrak train slowed to a crawl as it hammered through snowdrifts in an empty stretch of Illinois countryside, delivering thuds and jolts to passengers, until it lurched into a mound big enough to grind its 8,000-horsepower engine to a halt. About 90 miles short of their Chicago destination, passengers ended up stuck on the train overnight, reading books, watching movies on computers and taking what amusement they could from a conductor who cracked jokes over the intercom. Food ran low and some tempers boiled over, but staff kept the heat on, entertained children and even escorted small groups of people outside for smoke breaks. “You hear those horror stories about the cars that stop in the snow and they freeze to death. I thought, ‘Oh God, this is going to happen, we’re going to be in blankets,’ ” said passenger Chris Smith. They weren’t alone. Across huge swaths of the country, the polar vortex, blamed in 21 deaths, froze travel and left motorists, airline passengers and commuters fighting to stay in motion and, when that failed, fighting to stave off boredom and cold. Airlines again canceled several thousand flights Tuesday, as the extreme cold slowed everything from baggage-handling to refueling. On the roads, powerful winds pushing snow into desertlike dunes forced authorities to shut major highways, including a 75-mile stretch of Interstate 81 north of Syracuse, N.Y., to the Canadian border. The snow-bound train stuck near the tiny village of Arlington in north-central Illinois was one of

three Amtrak trains, including the Southwest Chief, carrying a total of 500 passengers that got stuck in the state overnight. Amtrak officials eventually got them to safety, then bused them to their destinations. Smith’s train began its journey in warm Los Angeles but rolled into trouble in the frozen Midwest. “They started to cut through heavier and heavier drifts,” said Smith, 45, a sound designer for films who got on the train at Garden City, Kan. “The passenger on my side was joking, he said, ‘I think we ran over somebody.’ They weren’t huge bumps, but it was enough to jerk the train.” When the train stopped altogether, around 4 p.m. Monday, a conductor came on the loudspeaker and quipped, “As you can see, there’s a little bit of snow out there.” “At first it was kind of funny, and our conductor had a good sense of humor about it, and then it stopped being funny,” said Carley Lintz, a 21-year-old journalism student on her way back to Northwestern University from her home in Gardner, Kan. The crew served a dinner of beef stew over rice, but the lounge car eventually ran out of everything but drinks, Smith said. Several passengers scomplained about deteriorating conditions, including flooded sinks and toilets, but Smith and others on his train only saw overflowing trash cans. Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said emergency workers were on standby, and that train crews handed out food and prepared for any medical issues. As night set in, some tried to sleep. Others paced. There was enough of a 3G signal for those glued to smartphones and tablets to stay connected. Another train
coming to the rescue also got stuck. Local authorities arrived. Crews shoveled and plowed, and passengers eventually were moved to a second train, taken back to Princeton, Ill., and put on buses to Chicago. The ordeal lasted some 17 hours. Airlines and airports continued to suffer under the strain of the cold Tuesday, though conditions appeared to be slowly improving. More than 2,500 flights had been canceled by late afternoon Tuesday, an improvement from Monday’s 4,100 cancellations, according to tracking service FlightAware.com United Airlines still was operating reduced schedules at its hubs in Chicago, Cleveland and Newark, N.J., partly because it was dangerous for ramp workers to be loading bags outside in the extreme cold. JetBlue said that by midafternoon, it was operating a full schedule of flights at Kennedy, LaGuardia, Newark, N.J., and Boston’s Logan Airport after suspending flights there late Monday. Chief operating officer Rob Maruster said of the temporary shutdown, “We own it … “ Travel industry analyst Henry Harteveldt said he thought JetBlue did the right thing and avoided having thousands of passengers possibly stranded at frozen airports. Passengers were inconvenienced, he said, but at least got to stay warm at home or at a hotel instead of “stuck on a plane going nowhere.” It was a flight cancellation that led Chicago high school teacher Rob Chambers, his husband and mother-in-law to take the train back to Chicago after the couple got married in Delaware, where same-sex marriage is legal. But their trip came to a halt in Indianapolis tracks were closed by heavy, blowing snow.
WASHINGTON — The Hubble Space Telescope has peered back to a chaotic time 13.2 billion years ago when never-before-seen galaxies were tiny, bright blue and full of stars bursting to life all over the place. Thanks to some complex physics tricks, NASA’s aging telescope is just starting to see the universe at its infancy in living color and detail. Images released by NASA on Tuesday show galaxies that are 20 times fainter than those pictured before. They are from a new campaign to have the 23-year-old Hubble gaze much earlier and farther away than it was designed to see. “I like to call it cosmic dawn,” Hubble astronomer Jennifer Lotz said at the American Astronomical Society convention in Washington. “It’s when the lights are coming on.” It was a time when star formation was ramping up, and it was far more hectic than now. “Imagine if you went back 500 million years after the Big Bang and looked around in the sky,” astronomer Garth Illingworth of the University of California Santa Cruz said. “Galaxies are closer. They’re smaller. They’re bright blue and they’re everywhere … They are probably blobby, small, nothing like our Milky Way.” There were probably no metals at this time, no Earths, said Illingworth, who was on the scientific team using Hubble. “Things look clumpy and kind of weird,” Lotz said. Most of the galaxies then were close to 1,000 times smaller than our Milky Way, but astronomers said they were surprised to discover a few brighter, bigger galaxies sparkling out there. These first pictures showed nearly 3,000 galaxies. Astronomers are still trying to figure out which of those galaxies are ancient and which are more recent. Because light travels nearly 6 trillion miles a year, as telescopes look farther from Earth they see earlier into the past. While Hubble and other telescopes using different light wavelengths have seen this far back, this is the first complete set of photos in the visible light spectrum. To do this, Hubble is using one of Albert Einstein’s concepts that massive clusters of galaxies have such super gravity that they magnify and stretch light, Lotz said. By focusing on clusters, astronomers use them as natural binoculars to see what’s behind them. The release of the images is significant and important, said Christopher Conselice, a professor at the University of Nottingham in England. Conselice was not part of the Hubble team. “It’ll tell us about how the universe is forming and evolving,” Conselice said after the astronomers’ presentation. “I think they understated it. It could be a fundamental thing.”

Gates writes about years with Obama WASHINGTON — Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates asserts in a new memoir that President Barack Obama grew frustrated with U.S. policy in Afghanistan and that Vice President Joe Biden has been wrong on nearly every foreign policy and national security issue. “I never doubted Obama’s support for the troops, only his support for their mission,” Gates writes in the book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, which was set for release next week by Knopf. In recalling a meeting in the situation room in March 2011, Gates writes: “As I sat there, I thought: The president doesn’t trust his commander, can’t stand [Afghan President Hamid] Karzai, doesn’t believe in his own strategy and doesn’t consider the war to be his. For him, it’s all about getting out.”

The infighting between rebel groups is concentrated in parts of northern Syria, spreading Monday to the northeastern city of Raqqa, a bastion of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The group has alienated its opposition rivals, including the extremist Jabhat al-Nusra, for its extremely brutal tactics, including the kidnapping and killing of opponents, journalists and anti-government activists who criticize its practices. Moderate forces among the opposition accuse the group of tarnishing the Syrian revolution and serving Assad’s interests. “The [Assad] regime will revive itself after it was close to disappearing,” said Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the head of Jabhat al-Nusra. His comments in a rare audio recording posted on a militant website underscored the seriousness of the clashes. The war, now in its third year, has killed more than 130,000 people, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Right, which keeps track of the fighting.

The six Republicans who voted to overcome a filibuster were Dean Heller of Nevada, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Dan Coats of Indiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rob Portman of Ohio. Heller, Coats and Portman all represents states with unemployment above the national average of 7 percent. Coats made clear that his vote came with conditions. He said he opposes the measure as drafted and would vote against it on final passage if Reid “again obstructs senators from offering amendments.”

Reid also said he’d be willing to consider allowing votes on proposed changes, but avoided a flat commitment on a demand Republicans said was essential. The legislation at the heart of the maneuvering would restore benefits averaging $256 weekly to an estimated 1.3 million longterm jobless Americans who were cut off when the program expired Dec. 28. Duration of federal coverage generally ranges from 14 to 47 weeks, depending on the level of unemployment within individual states. The three-month cost to the Treasury is estimated at $6.4 billion. Without action by Congress, hundreds of thousands more will feel the impact in the months ahead as their state-

Copper: Police look closely at recyclers Continued from Page A-1 county law enforcement agents, as well as inspectors from the Regulation and Licensing Department. In Santa Fe, two of the metal recyclers, Capital Metal Recyclers and Mr. G’s, see the state law as a deterrent to thieves. Brian Witt, manager of Capital Scrap Metals, said he has encountered very few people who were trying to sell stolen copper. “In all the years we’ve been here, it’s happened some, but in general not so much,” he said, adding that “the ID thing has discouraged quite a bit of that.” A big part of the job for metal recyclers is knowing which metal objects they aren’t allowed to buy — such as a city manhole cover — and knowing who is selling metal legitimately. Brian Gutierrez, owner of Mr. G’s, 7625 Baca Lane, said he and his staff “inspect what materials are being brought in so that we can match up material received with the people bringing it in.” If, for example, someone comes in with rolled rebar — which is only found on construction sites — or wire that hasn’t been used yet, he tries to make sure the seller is a contractor or has obtained it legally. Hardware stores only sell straight pieces of rebar. “We ask a lot of questions,” Gutierrez said. “You start knowing who the contractors are, who the plumbers and electricians are — those are people that should be coming and selling that stuff.” Using the Regulation and Licensing Department database, Gutierrez said he can look up a registered business when a seller claims to be affiliated with a certain plumber or electrician. More than anything else, Gutierrez’s rule is that “if it’s at all questionable, I’ll just send them away,” he said. Additionally, through the licensing department, metal recyclers receive scrap theft alerts from local authorities. According to Lt. William Pacheco, spokesman for the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, the actions Gutierrez is taking in complying with state law and staying vigilant are the best things that recyclers can do to pin down people trying to unload stolen metal. “It would be very difficult for the recycler to know … if that copper is stolen,” Pacheco said. “What we’re trying to educate
rant owners,” Jesson wrote in a timeline of events. In an interview, Jesson said she had recommended taking the Francey matter to the Jesson City Council if Duke City renewed its lease. But Bulthuis and Snyder decided to “try to work with them and get them into some compliance,” she said. “It was not my initial recommendation,” Jesson said, “but in having conversations with my boss and with the city manager, we determined that ultimately that was the best way to go.” The reason was that Duke City had been a long-standing tenant that had “hung in” with the airport when it had no commercial service, she said. Lisa Van Allen, managing partner of Duke City, wrote to city officials in August that she had spent “a considerable amount of money” to bring an airport restaurant that was “basically abandoned” up to code. Almost all the equipment is hers, she said. “I was promised in 2000 that there would be commercial flights within two years,” she wrote. “Due to a number of factors, including 9/11, that has only recently materialized.” Van Allen, who did not return a call for comment Tuesday, also wrote that she “took a loss on every meal” she served for a number of years. “It is ironic that I was promised for years that the airport
would become the budding enterprise it is today if I just hung in there,” Van Allen wrote. “Now that I may have an opportunity to mitigate some of my substantial losses on that facility, there has been a conversation, I am told, between airport management and my employees that somehow the deal is more beneficial to me than the City.” Jesson said the airport only wants to bring the restaurant in line with what other tenants are being asked to pay. The restaurant also owes the airport money, she said. The restaurant was supposed to be paying 5 percent of gross food sales but was paying 5 percent of net sales, Jesson said. In addition, the restaurant is behind in rent, she said. But right now, the airport is trying to figure out how to charge the restaurant fair market value on its rent. The FAA defines fair market value two ways: an appraisal or comparing the business against negotiated rates of a similar entity. Since Duke City owns the only restaurant in the airport, an appraisal is the only other option, Jesson said. “We just haven’t gotten to that step yet. It’s a process, but we are working towards that because we certainly want to make sure that we are not violating that grant assurance,” Jesson said, referring to the FAA. Contact Daniel J.

the recyclers [about] is, if you do see an individual who continues to bring in items, to put them on high alert.” Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said, “We haven’t cited anyone in the last six months to a year for violating the [law] or receiving stolen copper wiring. It’s not something we see as common in Santa Fe.” A metal recycler who buys stolen material can be fined up to $1,000 under state law and receive a citation that could endanger their business license under a city ordinance. But with two successful copper wire thefts since the beginning of December — first at St. John’s United Methodist Church on Dec. 17, then at Water Boyz on Dec. 31 — as well as an attempted theft at the Santa Fe Children’s Museum, Westervelt said police are going to look more closely at wire recyclers. “We plan to do an operation here in the near future, and we probably do one every six months,” Westervelt said. “We do it more often at the pawn stores, but now that copper is becoming a criminal trend that we’re seeing, we plan to track the metal recyclers as well.” To avoid fines and citations that might shutter a metal buyer’s doors, “it’s going to come down to recyclers taking a little more care” when it comes to buying metal, Pacheco said. Public Service Company of New Mexico, which has had a lot of copper wire stolen from its transformers, also has gotten in on the fight against copper theft, offering a $500 reward to those who call Crime Stoppers, 955-5050, with a tip that results in an arrest and conviction.

Obama: U.S. says keeping troops in Afghanistan has benefits Continued from Page A-1 at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, said the extremists taking hold in Iraq are a spillover from the conflict in neighboring Syria and have been bolstered by Obama’s reluctance to arm the more moderate rebels fighting Assad. “There is no doubt that the U.S. policy helped create a vacuum in which the only effective forces were the radical forces,” Ottaway said Tuesday. Syria’s bloody civil war had not yet begun when the U.S. was making plans to withdraw from Iraq. But White House officials contend that keeping American troops in Iraq would have done little to stop the current violence. “There was sectarian conflict, violent sectarian conflict, in Iraq when there were 150,000 U.S. troops on the ground there,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said. “So the idea that this would not be happening if there were 10,000 troops in Iraq I think bears scrutiny.” Still, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno, a former top commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, said al-Qaida and other insurgents are seeking to take advantage of sectarian tensions across much of the Mideast. “This is not just about Iraq,” Odierno said Tuesday. “It’s something that we have to be cognizant of as we look across the Middle East: What’s going on in Syria, what’s going on in Lebanon, what’s going on inside of Iraq.” Iraq now seeks more U.S. weapons, aircraft and intelligence assistance to help battle al-Qaida. Iraqi Ambassador Lukman Faily said that while Baghdad does not want U.S. troops to return, perhaps Kabul should not reject plans for Americans to stay in Afghanistan. “The abruptness of the U.S. forces departing from Iraq, versus our own requirement to have sovereignty at any cost, was not something beneficial for all parties,” said Faily, Baghdad’s top envoy to the U.S. “And what we see now is the aftermath of that. ...

Afghanistan reached an agreement late last year that would allow for an American contingent to remain, but Karzai so far has refused to sign the security agreement, saying he wants his successor to do so. However, the Obama administration has said it must make plans before then and might be forced to start a full withdrawal if Karzai doesn’t change his mind. Obama administration officials have been quick to cast the rise of al-Qaida militants in Iraq as Baghdad’s problem,
up, flooding the country with 30,000 additional troops in 2010 in his hunt for al-Qaida and the Taliban. Despite the renewed fighting in Iraq, administration officials argue that keeping a few thousand forces in Afghanistan after the war formally ends later this year would help stabilize the country. The CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency have warned that a withdrawal will turn the country into a lawless al-Qaida haven. The United States and
in Cairo. The tumult has tested Obama’s opposition to American military intervention in the region’s constant conflict. Critics argue that Obama has lost focus on the Mideast, giving extremists space to strengthen. While Obama long opposed the Iraq war and has staunchly refused to send U.S. troops to Syria, he appears more comfortable leaving a small military force in Afghanistan. While it’s not a war he started, it’s one he did build
clear day-after scenario.” “There is an urgent need for U.S. support,” Faily said. “We see this as an issue of U.S. security being in jeopardy as well.” As many as 130,000 have been killed in Syria, where an insurgency linked to al-Qaida has split rebel groups seeking to oust Assad.

with Secretary of State John Kerry declaring Sunday that “this is a fight that belongs to the Iraqis.” Still, the Pentagon did expedite the delivery of 10 Scan Eagle drones and 100 Hellfire missiles, which are expected to arrive in Iraq this spring. While much of the violence has spilled over from the neighboring Syrian civil war, Sunni anger has been steadily rising against the Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who is accused as sidelining Sunnis from power.

State workers deserve a raise

W
here have all the Democrats gone? It’s hard to imagine a better gift falling into their laps: Republicans have just thrown 1.3 million unemployed Americans out into the cold and are prepared to cut off 3.6 million others who are out of work. At a time when the long-term unemployment rate remains near its highest level since the Great Depression and there are three jobseekers for every opening, this seems unusually cruel. And this tops a full list of similar gestures: curtailing preschool for poor kids; cutting nutrition assistance for pregnant women and babies; and opposing an increase in the minimum wage, which has lost 6 percent of its purchasing power in the past four years. House Republicans sought last year to reduce food stamp benefits by $40 billion, but they may be persuaded by Senate Democrats to accept only $9 billion in cuts. You don’t have to be a Huey Long to recognize that there’s an opening for populist outrage here: The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and Republicans seem content to widen the divide. But in the two hours the Senate spent debating unemployment insurance Monday afternoon, only three Democrats showed up to talk: Harry Reid of Nevada, the soft-spoken majority leader, read a brief yet somniferous speech. Patrick Leahy of Vermont offered a few words — on immigration. Jack Reed of Rhode Island delivered a professorial 20-minute lecture in support of extending jobless benefits. And then the chamber went silent for the next
H hour and 20 minutes — in a quorum call because nobody else wanted to talk. The presiding officer, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., read a briefing book and studied a map on his smartphone. It was typical of the Democrats’ tepid acceptance of the political present Republicans have given them. If Democrats had some sense, they’d talk about nothing else until they bludgeoned Republicans into supporting unemployment benefits. (The Senate did agree on Tuesday to move forward with unemployment benefits on a test vote, with six Republicans joining Democrats and independents. The bill still must be passed in the Senate and then negotiated with the House.) Surely, the late Ted Kennedy, or even Paul Wellstone, would have fought the Republicans with glee. But there is no liberal lion today to give a populist roar. Freshman Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.? Too cerebral. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent? Too much of a gadfly. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa? Easing into retirement. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., might have given voice to outrage, but he was a victim of the air-travel delays that led the
Senate to temporarily postpone Monday night’s vote on a three-month extension. It shouldn’t be hard to make the case. The jobless rate for the long-term unemployed — those affected by the cutoff — is 2.6 percent. That’s at least twice the level it was when extended benefits were ended after all previous recessions going back more than half a century. Benefits average just $300 a week, about a third of a worker’s lost wages, and the beneficiaries come from all classes and races. In most cases, they’re without work through no fault of their own, and there has been little help from Washington for the sort of training that would reduce long-term unemployment. But after previous recessions, there was no similar sort of ideological zeal to shrink the government. Republicans are under pressure from conservative groups to oppose the $6.5 billion extension. Heritage Action, for instance, calls this lifeline for the jobless an “ineffective and wasteful program” that is unaffordable “even if lawmakers attempt to offset this new spending with real cuts.” Democrats have their opponents in a tough spot — and yet the Senate floor was
empty Monday afternoon. Reid began the debate by calling the lapse in the program “outrageous” and “unconscionable,” but his speech was more an economic pitch than a moral argument. “Each dollar that we spend on unemployment insurance benefits increases gross domestic product by $1.50,” he argued. After two hours of “debate” on joblessness (only 40 minutes of which involved actual talking), the senators moved on to other matters. A couple of them discussed the nomination of Janet Yellen to be the new Federal Reserve chairman. Murphy spoke about gun control. Sen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
N.M. should consider legalizing marijuana
C
olorado’s new marijuana legalization laws are substantially regulated. Additionally, the federal government is keeping a microscopic eye on their implementation. Meanwhile, ironically, the ease in which any moron can legally obtain firearms is a grim reaper to our public safety with 28,000 gun deaths annually. According to the ACLU, there were 8 million marijuana arrests in the U.S. between 2001 and 2010, 88 percent just for possession. Does America prefer lethal gun massacres over benign pot usage? How is it that the Second Amendment’s “a wellregulated Militia” lets guns be nearly unregulated compared to the intense control of an herb? Decades of the $1 trillion expensive failed War on Drugs has fissured. With Colorado estimating $600 million in 2014 marijuana taxes, New Mexico should consider the pecuniary tax coffers reward from pot legalization. Our uptight, alcohol-adoring society must realize the upside of marijuana’s benefits for medical/recreational use. Gary Reynolds

A bad start Bill Dimas has spent the public’s money to purchase an ad in The New
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 8, 1989: Saturday’s freezing weather didn’t chill the community spirit of Santa Fe volunteers who helped build a new house for a family in need; from the ground up. Not unlike the barn raisings of an earlier era, 25 volunteers poured into a small lot on Agua Fría Saturday morning ready to go to work. The local chapter of Habitat for Humanity, a national organization that funds cheap housing for poor families, is backing the project. By providing an interest-free loan to the resident of the soon-to-be-closed Mountain View trailer park, and using all volunteer labor, it is hoped the home and land will cost less than $53,000, or a monthly payment of about $250. It is estimated the home will not be finished until June, although the more volunteers, the quicker the finish date.

allelujah! The state of New Mexico — despite its continuing miserable economy — will have more money to spend this year than last, making the upcoming 30-day budget session less painful, if no less contentious. The stakes are enormous. A budget shows the priorities of its makers, whether a family spending a paycheck or the state deciding whether to invest in programs for children. Each dollar spent one way is a dollar that can’t be directed to another priority. Many times, the priorities are equally essential to the family or state well-being — funding the Children, Youth and Families Department, especially in lieu of the death of an Albuquerque 9-year-old under the department’s supervision, is essential, but so is paying teachers enough money to keep them in classrooms. And that’s just one example. Competing budgets — one from the Legislative Finance Committee and another from the governor — tackle problems in different ways, with the sharpest contrast in how the two budgets propose raises for state employees. The LFC budget, calling for $6.15 billion spent from general fund appropriations, is asking for $253.5 million in new spending, a 4.3 percent increase from fiscal year 2014. Wisely, after years of belt-tightening, state employees would be given a 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase. That would cover all state, public school and higher education workers, as well as direct another $40 million to state and school agencies to use at their discretion for raises. Gov. Susana Martinez wants to spend a bit less, $6.1 billion; her budget would increase recurring spending by some $179 million, or 3 percent. The biggest difference is that Martinez would target pay raises only to about a third of the state’s government workers, focusing her other new spending on education, health care and tax initiatives. Her salary hikes would go to select groups of workers — social workers, state police officers and computer technicians, among others. Small raises across the board won’t do enough, she said Monday, to fix the state pay classification. The governor is correct that some jobs — and police officers definitely are among them — need bigger raises fast. Fortunately, there is enough money projected for 2014-15 to give both across-the-board and targeted raises. That’s the approach the legislative budget takes; it gives a small raise to everyone but also finds additional dollars to do such things as implement a state police pay plan, puts aside $2.7 million to improve pay for teachers’ aides and allocates $4.5 million to increase minimum salary for Level 1 teachers from $30,000 a year to $32,500. Martinez should find ways to accommodate that approach. State workers deserve a raise. It’s worth noting that both budgets also target money to shore up the lottery scholarship program. A fix would bring certainty to thousands of college students and their families counting on the promised scholarship to pay tuition this year. The governor’s proposal doesn’t cover the next fiscal year; the legislative budget does, so long as longer-term fixes to stabilize the fund are adopted. That’s another fairly easy compromise. More difficult, of course, will be working out how to allocate money for the approximately $2.7 billion being proposed for public education spending. Martinez is proposing a $100 million increase in spending for schools, while the legislative budget has a $143 million increase. They differ, too, in who will control how the money is spent. More than half of the $100 million in increased spending Martinez is proposing would not go through the funding formula, making it so-called “below the line spending.” It gives local districts no control over how best to educate their children and, more problematic, defeats the purpose of the state’s equalization funding formula. If Martinez wants to do away with the equalization formulas in the funding formula, that’s a discussion worth having. Changes should be more strategic, rather than made a year at a time until the whole system of funding resembles a house built without a blueprint. Despite differences — and the two approaches to funding education will cause many a battle this session — there are enough areas of common ground to get the process started. Gov. Martinez and the Legislature should look for areas of agreement, work out differences and create a budget that serves the best interests of all New Mexicans.

Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort is shown in a scene from The Wolf of Wall Street. The film was nominated for a Directors Guild award on Tuesday. The winners will be announced Jan. 25. MARY CYBULSKI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The hedonistic high of ‘Wolf’ provokes debate By Jake Coyle The Associated Press
NEW YORK n The Wolf of Wall Street, out-of-control stock broker Jordan Belfort is initially furious when a Forbes magazine profile turns out to be a hatchet job labeling him a “twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers.” But Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is quickly schooled on the rules of publicity. The next morning his office is overrun with rabid young brokers desperately waving résumés, dying to join his merry band. The reaction to Martin Scorsese’s portrait of Wall Street excess has been comically similar. It’s been judged by some critics and moviegoers as a glorification of unchecked greed. But the movie’s bad reputation as an orgy of drugs, sex and money (not to mention a reportedly record-setting 506 F-bombs) has also drawn eager crowds. In two weeks, the film has made $63.3 million at the box office and will likely become, if not an outright hit, one of Scorsese’s highest-grossing pictures. The Wolf of Wall Street has turned into easily the most debated film in an award season otherwise lacking much controversy, aside from some scattered factbending concerns. Scorsese and DiCaprio have been on damage control in recent days, defending their film as a thought-provoking portrait of decadence run amok. Nearly every film critic and countless moviegoers have weighed in on the morality of The Wolf of Wall Street: whether the film enjoys Belfort’s hedonistic high a little too much, or if tapping into the thrill of selfindulgence is actually the point. “He does it because he can,” Scorsese said in a recent interview. “If you can do anything because you can, what are we as people? Can we easily fall into it? I think so.” The largest missive came when LA Weekly published an open letter by Christina McDowell, the daughter of a lawyer Belfort worked with, in which she described the hard realities of those victimized by the shady penny stock dealings of Belfort. “Your film is a reckless attempt at continuing to pretend that these sorts of schemes are entertaining, even as the country is reeling from yet another round of Wall Street scandals,” McDowell wrote. To the critics of The Wolf of Wall Street, the nearly three-hour film fails to sufficiently judge the actions of its characters or depict the victims of Belfort’s recklessness. The Wall Street Journal’s Joe Morgenstern called the film a “hollow spectacle.” It should be noted, though, that the Journal’s dismissal might be considered a badge of honor for any movie about Wall Street. And since the movie is based on Belfort’s memoir, the former broker, who was convicted of fraud and served 22 months in prison, has profited from the making of

the film, whether monetarily or in publicity for his motivational speaking. He also makes a brief cameo in the movie. As part of his sentence, Belfort was ordered to repay defrauded investors $110.4 million, a figure he’s unlikely to ever approach fulfilling. A portion of his income goes toward a victim compensation fund. Belfort has said he’s turning over all profits from the movie to the government. The backlash, though, may be taking indignation for Belfort, who received a relatively soft sentence after giving evidence against his colleagues, and misplacing it on the movie. In an interview, DiCaprio called the film “a biography of a scumbag.” “I understood how Jordan must have felt,” DiCaprio said. “These people idolizing you even though I’m preaching to them about screwing people over to its ultimate degree.” Much of the film focuses not just on Belfort’s rise from a lowly Long Island penny stock broker to a hugely wealthy and powerful figure but on the panting excitement his audacity inspires. In one of the movie’s most famous scenes, one played frequently in advertisements, Jonah Hill’s character quits his job minutes after hearing how much money DiCaprio makes. The ominous concluding image of the film (spoiler alert) is of a rapt audience soaking up Belfort’s motivational speaking. More than anything, the film questions this innate allure of greed, leaving moviegoers to question their own culpability in a system that rewards Belfort’s behavior. The New Yorker’s Richard Brody wrote: “Those who are decrying its extremes are maintaining their own innocence, protesting all too much their immunity to its temptations.” Scorsese said he “didn’t want to stand back and say, ‘This is bad behavior.’ ” “It’s not for us to say. It’s for us to present,” he said. “And obviously it’s bad behavior. Obviously the values are twisted and turned upside down.” It’s not every day that a 71-year-old filmmaker (whose Goodfellas shares much with his latest movie) releases a film that provokes like The Wolf of Wall Street has. Said Scorsese: “If it raises the ire of some people, that might be a good thing because it makes you think about it.”

Santa Fe Concert Association brings ‘The Barber of Seville’ to younger viewers
Biologist to speak on climate change

T
he Scottish Rite Center will be transformed into Seville for the Santa Fe Concert Association’s community opera production of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville starting this weekend. Professionals and young singers with the association’s EPIK Artist Program also will perform an abridged, hourlong, English version of the opera throughout the weekend, with a dress rehearsal Wednesday. Now in its fifth year, the community opera series is the association’s way of bringing opera to a younger audience. All performances are free, and organizers have invited all third-graders in the Santa Fe Public Schools to attend, providing buses and lunch. Given the show’s audience — students who may have not been exposed to opera before — the association’s artistic director and the show’s conductor, Joseph Illick, condenses the productions, “so that people who have never seen an opera will see something that’s manageable.” “When I do cut these operas down, I tend to make them more fast-paced and plot-oriented,” said Illick, who also is the music director at the Forth Worth Opera in Texas. Kate Tombaugh, who plays Rosina, the lead character, said Illick “cuts it down a way in this show that every one of the six principles has their moment. They each have an aria.” The abridged opera take the highlights of Rossini’s comedic opera about Rosina, who falls in love with a count disguised as a student, despite being kept under close watch by a jealous doctor. In addition to conducting, Illick also will play the piano, accompanied by a string quartet. According to Illick, the whole production has come together in a little less than a week. Rehearsals began Jan. 3. Even with a shorter opera, getting a production ready is nothing less than challenging, Tombaugh said. “It definitely keeps you brain cells constantly working.” Tombaugh — who splits her time between Cincinnati and Streator, Ill., where her family lives — was an apprentice for two years at The Santa Fe Opera, and this performance marks her fifth time in Santa Fe. She performed in the concert association’s productions of The Magic Flute and

U.S. attorney nomination for N.M. goes to Senate By Chris Quintana The New Mexican
If he can make it through the U.S. Senate approval process, a federal prosecutor in Albuquerque with decades of legal experience, particularly in prosecuting organized crime, will be the next U.S. attorney for New Mexico. Damon P. Martinez would replace Kenneth Gonzales, who is now a federal district judge in Las Cruces. New Mexico Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, who recommended Martinez for the position last April, announced President Barack Obama’s selection of Martinez
in November 2013. The White House on Monday morning announced a slew of nominations by the president — Martinez included — are now bound for the Senate. The acting U.S. attorney for New Mexico is Steven C. Yarbrough. Neither Martinez nor Yarbrough could comment on the presidential nomination or the pending Senate decision as of Tuesday, said Department of Justice spokeswoman Elizabeth Martinez. According to the department’s website, the U.S. Attorney’s Office handles a number of issues, including criminal conduct investigations, federal
indictments, trials of civil and criminal cases and appeals to the federal Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. Damon P. Martinez Martinez served as an assistant state attorney for then-Attorney General Udall from 1996 to 1998. The senator said Martinez briefly served as Udall’s legislative director following his successful campaign for the 3rd Congressional District of New Mexico in November 1998. But Martinez left that position and
in 2001 started work as an assistant U.S. attorney in Las Cruces. Udall called Martinez “hardworking” and experienced, citing the attorney’s 10-plus years as a federal prosecutor. “I think the president picked the right person for the job,” Udall said. A November news release from Udall office stated that Martinez supervises the organized crime and gang unit in Albuquerque, and that he has worked on cases involving national security, anti-terrorism, immigration and narcotics. The same release stated that Martinez graduated from Albuquerque’s St. Pius X High School, a private Catholic school, and that Martinez holds
two bachelor’s degrees, a master’s degree and a law degree from The University of New Mexico. He also served as a judge advocate in the U.S. Army Reserve until 2009 and is now a major in the National Guard. Fred Nathan, director of Think New Mexico, a Santa Fe-based think tank, said Martinez was “an inspired choice.” Nathan and Martinez were colleagues when Udall served as attorney general. “He has everything you would want in a prosecutor: fairness, diligence,” Nathan said. “And Damon is someone who is in public service for all the right reasons.”

Navajo lawmaker seeks removal of council speaker By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz — A Navajo lawmaker submitted a proposal Tuesday that would remove the speaker of the Tribal Council, who is facing criminal charges in an investigation into the misuse of public funds. Alton Joe Shepherd said Speaker Johnny Naize’s leadership has come into question since being charged last year with bribery and conspiracy. Criminal complaints filed in tribal court allege Naize and other current and former tribal lawmakers engaged in a scheme to divert money intended for
Navajos in need. Naize says he’s done nothing wrong and predicts he’ll be cleared of all charges. Shepherd’s measure to remove Naize as the head of the legislative branch requires a two-thirds vote of the 24-member council. It would not remove Naize as a Tribal Council delegate representing parts of Arizona. “The people have become more concerned about it,” Shepherd told The Associated Press. “At least now we can certainly have that discussion among the council and on behalf of the people.” Naize has said he’ll be exoner-
ated on 10 counts of conspiracy and a bribery charge. He is scheduled to be arraigned in March and says he won’t step down while the case makes its way through court. His term ends in January 2015. Prosecutors say Naize conspired with several other current and former council delegates to divert more than $73,000 from the discretionary spending fund intended for student financial aid, people facing extreme hardship, assistance for elderly Navajo and other uses. They say Naize’s family received $36,550 in exchange for his providing $36,900 to members of other families.
The special prosecutors from the Rothstein Law Firm took over the investigation into discretionary spending in 2011 after a civil complaint alleged that dozens of Navajo officials defrauded the tribal government in the use or management of $36 million. About 20 people have been charged criminally or with ethics violations. About the same number has been cleared of wrongdoing. Shepherd’s legislation was submitted a day after residents in Shiprock, N.M., approved a resolution asking the tribe’s attorney general to weigh in on whether officials charged

Ari Biernoff, one of King’s assistants, said the suit should continue because of the attorney general’s concerns that Valley Meat Co. could harm the environment. No horses have been slaughtered in the United States since funding for federal inspectors was cut by Congress in 2007. But in 2012, about 158,000 American horses were shipped hundreds or thousands of miles to Mexico and Canada, mostly to slaughterhouses.

Biologist: Helped launch ‘Nature’ Continued from Page B-1 staving off or slowing down the worst impacts of greenhouse gases on climate. Lovejoy discusses this in a lecture, “Wild Solution to Climate Change,” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the James A. Little Theater. Scientists predict the change will grow more dramatic if levels of carbon dioxide and methane aren’t reduced significantly. “I wouldn’t characterize it as a Doomsday bell, but what I am saying is we need to be taking climate change much more seriously in general,” Lovejoy said. He said the best ways to tackle climate change are restoring forests and grasslands, improving energy efficiency, moving off fossil fuels and finding methods to capture the carbon already in the air. Lovejoy, a senior fellow at the United Nations Foundation and professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University, is credited with coining the phrase “biological diversity.” He defined the impacts of fragmented habitat from human activities on ecosystems and helped launch the television series Nature. Lovejoy earned his doctorate at Yale University. He spent years studying Amazon rain forests, defining them as the Earth’s lungs that cleaned the
In brief Man enters plea in stabbing case A 20-year-old man pleaded guilty Tuesday to stabbing a Santa Clara Pueblo resident at least five times during a home invasion last year, federal prosecutors in Albuquerque said. Cristian K. Watson of Tierra Azul, N.M., pleaded guilty to assault resulting in serious bodily injury in a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to a news release. Watson, who is in federal custody while he awaits sentencing, could face up to 10 years in prison. The release said the attack occurred Feb. 12, 2012, after Watson and Joshua Phillips, 21, invaded a Santa Clara home with an intent to steal. Watson admitted in his plea to repeatedly stabbing the victim while helping Phillips “steal pills from the victim,” the statement said. The victim received five stab

air. His research convinced him that healthy natural resources provided irreplaceable services to people, such as clean water and productive soil. He helped craft the policy of debt-fornature swaps, forgiving the debt of developing countries in exchange for the benefits their ecosystems provided. In 2008, Lovejoy cowrote a paper advocating for a restoration of the global ecosystem as a means to reduce carbon dioxide levels and stave off humancaused climate change.

N.M. students can get scholarships Northern New Mexico students aiming to pursue fouryear college degrees are eligible for tuition help ranging from $1,000 to $30,000 from the Los Alamos Employees’ Scholarship Fund. Scholarships will be announced in March for the next school year. The deadline for applications is Jan. 21. The fund, which has awarded $3.7 million since 1998, is administered by the Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation. Funding comes from donations by LANL employees, contractors and a matching amount from Los Alamos National Security LLC. Awards are based on academic performance, leadership potential, critical thinking skills
and other gases, have bumped up the rate of climate change, according to most climate scientists. Lovejoy said people and policymakers often forget the intricate link between ecosystems and human economies. “Ecosystem goods and services contribute substantially to human benefit and economies,” Lovejoy said. “A degraded environment degrades the economy. Usually it costs more to replace a service than to maintain it. For example, the economics of soil erosion are such that the Illinois River was recently dredged so the topsoil could be sold back to farmers.” In the Southwest, areas already vulnerable to drought are seeing a shift in the timing and type of precipitation. Snowpacks are melting earlier as winter nighttime temperatures warm. Forests are more vulnerable to the ravages of bark beetles. As forests die, there’s less to hold soil in place or to hold in moisture when it comes. For leaders and the public, the time to do something, is now “if they care about their children and grandchildren,” Lovejoy said. Contact Staci Matlock at 986-3055 or smatlock@ sfnewmexican.com.

Students interested in scientific or other careers may be linked with internships at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Eligible students must live in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, Taos, San Miguel, Sandoval or Mora counties. Requirements and applications are online at www.lanlfoundation.org.
Green chamber to host a gathering The Santa Fe Green Chamber of Commerce is hosting a public social gathering from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday to hear local legislators present an overview of the upcoming legislative session.

with a crime should remain in office. The resolution states that Navajo people require their leaders, who are held to higher standards of integrity, to obey tribal laws. Shiprock President Duane “Chili” Yazzie said he’s not aware of any tribal law that addresses tribal employees whose criminal cases have not been resolved. “It just seems for the lack of a better word, awkward, that you have people charged with such crimes and they’re sitting there with fiduciary duty over millions of dollars,” Yazzie said. “If these delegates have a sense of honor, they could recuse them-
selves from council.” Navajo Attorney General Harrison Tsosie said Tuesday that allegations of tribal lawmakers engaged in criminal activity may create an appearance of impropriety. But Tsosie said his office would have to examine the criminal complaints before determining whether the allegations are severe enough to result in the lawmakers leaving office on their own volition. The earliest Shepherd’s legislation could go up for a vote before the full council is at the winter session, scheduled for the last week of January, unless a special session is approved beforehand.

BLM to prepare plan for Rio Grande del Norte TAOS — Federal officials are taking initial steps to develop a management plan for one of New Mexico’s newest national monuments. The Rio Grande del Norte National Monument was designated by presidential proclamation last March. It covers nearly 380 square miles in Northern New Mexico. The Bureau of Land Management says it will be accepting public comments through Feb. 18. The agency is looking for suggestions on what issues and concerns it should consider as it develops the plan.

A wild solution to climate change Wednesday, January 8 7:30 p.m. James A. Little Theater 1060 Cerrillos Rd., Santa Fe Lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
Our planet’s biology and its climate are inexorably coupled. Warmer and less predictable climates will continue to diminish the planet’s biodiversity. But biological systems can be part of a solution. Conservation biology pioneer Tom Lovejoy will examine the present and possible future impacts of climate change and explore how we might manage both biological and human economic systems to reduce its long-term effects.
Tom Lovejoy is a senior fellow, United Nations Foundation, and University Professor of Environmental Science and Policy, George Mason University.

Maddux won’t be a unanimous Hall of Fame selection Ex-pitcher may still break voting percentage record By Ronald Blum The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Greg Maddux could break a 22-year-old record Wednesday, though he won’t become the first unanimous selection in the history of the baseball writers’ Hall of Fame ballot. When Tom Seaver received 425 of 430 votes in 1992, his 98.84 percentage
topped the mark set by Ty Cobb in 1936. A dominant pitcher when offense ruled in the Steroids Era, Maddux has a chance to enter Cooperstown with a little extra bit of fame. Greg Maddux “I just have just never come across any human being, whether they’re a voter or just a fan, that doesn’t think Greg Maddux is a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest pitchers who ever
pitched,” The Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo said Tuesday. “I can’t imagine someone not voting for him. So I would guess that he’s going to break Seaver’s record.” Maddux is among three high-profile players on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot for the first time, joined by former Atlanta Braves teammate Tom Glavine and Chicago White Sox slugger Frank Thomas. Holdovers include Craig Biggio, who topped voting at 68 percent last year, 39 votes short of the 75 percent needed for election. It was only the second
time in four decades the BBWAA failed to elect anyone. Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, a former reporter for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, said Tuesday the only player he voted for was Jack Morris, on the writers’ ballot for the 15th and final time after falling 42 votes shy last year. “To me, I didn’t exclude Maddux. I excluded everybody from that era, everybody from the Steroid Era,” Gurnick said. “It wasn’t about Greg Maddux, it was about the entire era. I just don’t know who did and who didn’t.” Gurnick said Morris also was the
Toughened Tigers Taos overcomes 10-point deficit in 4th quarter to beat Española
The New Mexican
ALBUQUERQUE — There’s a lot for Craig Neal to worry about these days. His bench isn’t producing much. One of his big men is struggling — by the player’s standards, not the coach’s. And now his team is facing its first road test in conference play, a place where the winter ground stays frozen regardless of whether a polar vortex is involved. One thing he doesn’t need to concern himself with is his team’s mindset.

day night. The Lobos are coming off an MWC-opening home win over Colorado State in which the team’s bench players combined for just nine of the 80 points. Only three subs entered the game, as four of the five starters got at least 34 minutes of playing time. “I look at numbers, but I try to do what we do and do it the best we can,” Neal said. “As far as my bench, I’ve always taken it that as long as they come in and play hard and give effort, they’ll do good things. My problem with the bench or guys that don’t play is effort and doing what we’re tying to do. And that’s taking a good shot, making the right pass, you know, being in the defensive scheme you’re

deficit? It’s that grittiness amid dire circumstances that has defined the first half of the boys basketball team’s season for the Tigers, and it was apparent on Tuesday night. Using an aggressive man-toman defense against the quickminded Española Valley Sundevils, Taos allowed just one field goal over the final 9 minutes, 1 second to turn a 38-28 deficit into a 58-53 win in Edward Medina Gymnasium. At 10-2 on the season, the Tigers are making a case that they are a team to be reckoned with in Class AAA. They did it even in the face of turmoil when they lost head coach Daniel Trujillo three weeks into the season when he was fired by Superintendent Rod Weston for cutting a couple of players from the team in early December. A week later, Trujillo was reinstated by the Taos Municipal School Board. Taos won all three games in his absence, but senior forward Kyle Willis said the adversity the team faced forged a toughness. It has impressed Trujillo. “That might be it,” said Trujillo. “Maybe me yelling at them at halftime [against Española] and us being down to a team that has it going on in the first half, maybe it’s nothing to them because they’ve had to deal with some things.” Being 0-for-4 from the perimeter didn’t faze Willis when Taos needed a big basket in the fourth

only player he voted for in 2013 and added he intends to abstain in future elections. “Some people quibble over when the era starts, but the bulk of his career was in my opinion well before all of the widespread use of performanceenhancing drugs,” Gurnick said. Given that 569 ballots were submitted in 2013, Maddux likely could be omitted from six this year and still break Seaver’s record. Back in 1992, Seaver was left off by
through the 2011 world championships because of a concussion. She raced with a severely bruised shin at the last Olympics. She skipped a race at the 2009 worlds after slicing her thumb open on a Champagne bottle. She hurt her knee in training and missed a pair of races at the 2007 worlds. She took a scary fall during training at the 2006 Olympics, then left the hospital to compete. “She’s come back. She’ll be back,” Vonn’s father, Alan Kildow, said in a telephone interview. “You’ll see a lot of Lindsey Vonn in the future.” Vonn left the 2010 Vancouver Games with two medals: the first Olympic downhill gold for an American woman, and a bronze in the super-G. She is also a four-
time overall World Cup champion, by far the most recognized name in Alpine skiing at the moment — and, as it happens, the girlfriend of Tiger Woods. Add it all up, and she would have been the focus of plenty of media coverage in Sochi, certainly a main character in NBC’s coverage for a U.S. audience. “Lindsey gives you great promotional value, and she’s an amazing athlete and an amazing story,” said Gary Zenkel, president of NBC Olympics. “But there are amazing athletes that are going to be in Sochi, many of which we know, some of which we haven’t identified yet.” To those in the world of skiing, there’s no doubt about the sport’s most important athlete of late.

Fame: ‘Steroid Era’ impacts votes Continued from Page B-5 Paul Hagen of the Philadelphia Daily News, Bob Hertzel of The Pittsburgh Press and freelance writer Bob Hunter. They all submitted blank ballots to protest the decision by the Hall of Fame board of directors to bar Pete Rose from the vote because of his lifetime ban from baseball following a gambling probe. Retired writers Deane McGowen and Bud Tucker also did not vote for Seaver. “If it had cost Seaver anything,
yeah, I probably would regret it at some level, but it didn’t really cost him anything,” Hagen, now with MLB.com, said Tuesday. “He still got the highest vote [percentage] total ever, and he wouldn’t have been unanimous anyway.” The Steroids Era has impacted the vote totals of players with stellar statistics. In initial appearances last year, Mike Piazza was at 57.8 percent, Roger Clemens at 37.6, Barry Bonds at 36.2 and Sammy Sosa at 12.5. Mark McGwire received
16.9 on his seventh try. The Baseball Think Factory website compiled votes by writers who made their opinions public, and with 161 ballots had Maddux at 99 percent, followed by Glavine (96), Thomas (91) and Biggio (79). The website’s count had Piazza (68), Jeff Bagwell (61) and Morris (60) falling short along with Tim Raines (55), Bonds (42), Clemens (41), Curt Schilling (37) and Mike Mussina (29). McGwire (14) and Sosa (8) had little support.

Parker had 12 on 4-of-12 shooting for the Blue Devils (12-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). Playing their first game outside the top 10 since November 2007, Hood helped them pull away for their 25th straight win at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Miles makes 10 3s as Cavaliers beat 76ers The Associated Press
fell short.
CLEVELAND — C.J. Miles set a team record with 10 3-pointers and scored a seasonCavaliers 111 high 34 points, 76ers 93 leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 111-93 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Miles made eight 3s in the first half, when the Cavs opened a 26-point lead that allowed them to coast to a rare easy win. He notched his ninth with 9:53 left and drained No. 10 with 9:17 remaining. He went 10 of 14 from outside the arc.
HEAT 107, PELICANS 88 In Miami, LeBron James scored 32 points, and Dwyane Wade had 22 to power Miami to the win. It was the 10th 30-point game of the season for James. The Heat are 9-1 when he scores that many.
WARRIORS 101, BUCKS 80 In Milwaukee, David Lee had 22 points and 18 rebounds to lead Golden State to its 10th straight win. Lee was 10 of 12 from the field for the Warriors, who have their longest winning streak since their NBA-title season in 1975. Stephen Curry contributed 15 points for the Warriors despite connecting on just 5 of 18 shots. Klay Thompson also scored 15 points. SPURS 110, GRIZZLIES 108 (OT) In Memphis, Tenn., Manu Ginobili scored on a driving layup with 1.8 seconds left in overtime, lifting San Antonio to the road win. Mike Conley had an opportunity to win the game for Memphis, but his 25-footer
PACERS 86, RAPTORS 79 In Indianapolis, Roy Hibbert scored 22 points, and Danny Granger matched his season high with 13, helping Indiana to its third consecutive win. The NBA-leading Pacers (28-6) held the Raptors to a season low in points. MAVERICKS 110, LAKERS 97 In Dallas, Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points, and Dallas avoided its longest home losing streak in 14 years. The Mavericks had lost four straight at home, the last victory in their arena coming against Memphis the week before Christmas. KNICKS 89, PISTONS 85 In New York, Carmelo Anthony scored 13 of his 34 points in the third quarter and then made the clinching free throws with 2.9 seconds left as the Knicks handed the Pistons a season-high fifth straight loss. BULLS 92, SUNS 87 In Chicago, Taj Gibson had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and the Bulls won their first game after parting with Luol Deng in a trade. Joakim Noah added 14 points and 16 rebounds, help-
ing the Bulls to their sixth victory in eight games. D.J. Augustin and Jimmy Butler each scored 13. Tony Snell added 12 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers during an 8-0 run early in the fourth quarter that extended the lead to 13. WIZARDS 97, BOBCATS 83 In Charlotte, N.C., Bradley Beal scored 21 points, and Washington had five players score in double figures in the victory. Marcin Gortat added 18 points and John Wall had 17 for the Wizards. Gortat added 12 rebounds while helping hold Charlotte center Al Jefferson to six points on 3-of-9 shooting. NUGGETS 129, CELTICS 98 In Denver, Randy Foye scored a season-high 23 points, connecting on seven 3-pointers, and the Nuggets routed Boston for their third straight win after an eight-game losing streak. THUNDER 112, JAZZ 101 In Salt Lake City, Gordon Hayward scored a careerhigh 37 points, including Utah’s final 17 points, to help the Jazz overcome Kevin Durant’s 48 points and beat Oklahoma City. After the Thunder sliced a 24-point Jazz lead to 99-94, Hayward made five straight jumpers — two of them 3-pointers — in his personal 17-7 run to clinch Utah’s fourth straight home win.
SPORTS
Tigers: Team grew accustomed to adversity Continued from Page B-5 quarter. His 3-pointer with 2 minutes, 33 seconds left tied the game at 44 and set the stage for the Tigers to take the lead. Willis did one thing different on his make. “I took my time on it and made sure I gave it a chance,” said Willis, who had nine of his 11 points in the final quarter and was 6-for-6 from the free-throw line in the final 16 seconds. It took just 26 seconds, but Isaac Gonzales came up with a steal and a breakaway layup to give Taos a 46-44 lead. Gonzales had seven points in the final quarter as Taos chipped away at the 10-point deficit, and Trujillo said his aggressiveness gives the Tigers a needed element.
“He’s so aggressive that he breaks off of plays,” Trujillo said. “Sometimes, we get mad at guys for doing that, but he finds a way to make a positive because he is so competitive. I tell him when he sees a lane or something to break off the play, go do it.” That combined with a tough man-to-man defense, with one player floating toward the ball to force it out of the hands of Sundevils junior guard Jared Garduño (who had 21 points), to stifle Española. The Sundevils were just 1-for-4 from the field in the fourth quarter, and only their ability to get to the free-throw line allowed them to hold the lead for so long. Española (8-6) hit 13 of
16 free throws in the quarter, with Garduño hitting 11 of 12 in that stretch. He was a perfect 6-for-6 during a span that helped the Sundevils erase a 48-44 deficit. When Bobby Ray Sisneros scored on a putback with :40 left, it was tied at 50, but that’s when things started to go wrong for the Sundevils. Uriah Arellano fouled Taos guard Estevan Garcia right after that, and Garcia hit two free throws for a 52-50 lead with :34.6 to go. Garduño made a valiant block after a Abran Trujillo breakaway steal on the next possession, but Española was called for a 5-second inbound violation. After Willis hit two free
throws for 54-50, Garduño was fouled on a 3 attempt and he hit all three at the stripe for a onepoint deficit. That’s when Española head coach Richard Martinez called a timeout — one he didn’t have since he used his last with :32 left. The Sundevils were called for a technical foul and Willis hit two free throws for 56-53. “Usually, they [the officials] tell you, ‘You have no more timeouts,’ ” Martinez said. “They never told me that … I’m not going to blame it on them. My coaching staff knew about it, and apparently I missed out on that. I’m not going to blame anybody. That’s on me.” After the season the Tigers have had, they’ll take a gift when they can get it.
Lobos: Wyoming will try to dictate pace Continued from Page B-5 supposed to be in.” In other words, not more than three or four players not already in the starting five have demonstrated that. Heading to Wyoming, that might be a problem. The Lobos have had a measure of success in Wyoming over the years, winning 22 times in Laramie since their long-standing rivalry began 64 years ago. The teams have split the first 128 meetings, but UNM has won 14 of the last 17 overall and five of the last six in the Arena Auditorium. Like last year’s club, the Cowboys (9-5, 0-1) will try to dictate the pace with their methodical offensive sets and physical defense. The Lobos are averaging 80 points per game while Wyoming is giving up just 60. “Believe it or not they’re getting out in transition a lot more,” Neal said of the Cowboys. He added that Wyoming’s style can easily work against most opponents. “It leads into taking bad shots and quicker shots,” he said. “The biggest thing
is getting the shot you want and keep doing what you do.” In other words, avoid ball screens, get out and run in the transition game and force the tempo by not settling for long possessions. Neal added that he’ll likely employ the services of 7-foot freshman Obij Aget to add more size in the paint, but didn’t say who — or if — anyone outside the regular rotation of subs Cleveland Thomas, Cullen Neal and Nick Banyard will enter the game. Neal said he made a promise a long time ago not to coach effort. He said he recruits players to his program on the idea that they’ll get here and give maximum effort at all times in practices and in games. If he doesn’t see it, players sit. He said he cut his rotation down to eight players for the league opener on purpose because the games have more meaning now than in the nonconference slate.
Neal on Kirk Center Alex Kirk has nine double-doubles this season, matching his total from all of last season. Still, the 7-foot junior is
unhappy with his play. “I think Alex is his own biggest critic,” Neal said. “And I think that’s good. I like that about him.” Despite Kirk’s dip in scoring the last few games, Neal isn’t concerned. He said he will continue to draw up plays to get the big man’s game going, including designing a few sets to let him shoot the occasional 3-pointer.
Chavez gets start UNM women’s player Alexa Chavez, a 2012 St. Michael’s graduate and current sophomore for the Lobos, could possibly get her first career start when New Mexico hosts Wyoming on Wednesday night in The Pit. A 6-foot sophomore forward, Chavez has played in nine of the team’s 12 games, averaging 3.9 points and 4.8 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game. She may crack the starting five since head coach Yvonne Sanchez announced Tuesday that regular starter Khadijah Shumpert will likely miss Wednesday’s game. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Star: Few expected Bairstow as best player Continued from Page B-5 14 rebounds for his sixth doubledouble of the season. The performance prompted Rams head coach Larry Eustachy to declare Bairstow as the co-best player in the MWC with San Diego State guard Xavier Thames. Full disclaimer: SDSU and UNM were the only MWC teams that Eustachy and the Rams have faced until that point. Eustachy even went so far as to say that Bairstow was a “next level” player, meaning he could be a force in the professional ranks. The Rams head coach also said that he has seen Bairstow’s hard work pay off, and that is something that others are talking about as well. Lobos head coach Craig
New Mexico’s Cameron Bairstow receives a pass during the second half of the Mountain West Conference tournament championship game against UNLV on March 16, 2013. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Neal, who is in his seventh year with the program, said that Bairstow put in a lot of work in
the weight room this offseason is now the strongest player he has seen at UNM in his tenure.
That strength can be seen on the court as most of Bairstow’s points come from drives to the basket. Those drives are also what create his high field goal percentage. Now, let’s be honest, who saw Bairstow being the Lobos’ best player this season? Most signs pointed to guard Kendall Williams, who was anointed the MWC’s Preseason Player of the Year, or even the 6-foot-11 Kirk. Bairstow probably never came to mind when people were determining the conference’s — or even the team’s best player — before the season began. Bairstow is one of those players that ascended from contributor to superstar, and depending on how the Lobos finish this season, he could live on forever in Lobo lore.
PREP ROUNDUP
Much like its game against Tularosa on Saturday, the Santa Fe Preparatory boys basketball team started slow in the first half before exploding S.F. Prep 60 in the second against McCurdy in a nonMcCurdy 33 district road game in Memorial Gymnasium. The Blue Griffins led only 20-14 at halftime before putting the Bobcats away en route to a 60-33 win. While Prep head coach Dennis Casados was pleased with the win, he said his team has to play at full speed for the entire game. “We need to play four quarters,” Casados said. “We’re playing their style instead of our style.” One reason for Prep’s second-half success could be due to McCurdy head coach Ruben Archuleta opting to bench three of his starter for not being “team players.” “You have to teach them a lesson now, before districts,” Archuleta said. “But I’m very proud of my younger players.” The McCurdy (11-5) scoring effort was led by Dennis Padilla’s 12 points. D.J. Casados had a game-high 16 points to lead Prep (9-4) while William Lenfestey added 13 points. DESERT ACADEMY 54, TSE YI GAI 44 The Wildcats went on a 23-11 run in the third quarter to erase a 18-17 halftime deficit to the Warriors, but Tse Yi Gai tied the

game tied at 43 before Desert Academy (6-4) finished finished with an 11-1 run to pull away for the win. Mack Snyder led the Wildcats with 24 points and nine rebounds while freshman John Rigatti contributed 18 points to Desert Academy’s cause. POJOAQUE VALLEY 55, LOS ALAMOS 25 Mike Kluk had a rough coaching debut for the Hilltoppers as they fell to the Elks in Ben Luján Gymnasium. The Hilltoppers (1-13) were down 20-13 at halftime, but they allowed the Elks (5-6) to score 22 points in the third quarter to give them a double-digit lead. Chris Martinez had 13 points to lead the Elks, while John Ainsworth chipped in 11. Seth Drop had six points to lead all Los Alamos scorers. Kluk is replacing head coach Fil Dominguez, who parted ways with the Hilltoppers on Monday. MONTE DEL SOL 66, EAST MOUNTAIN 26 The Dragons went on a 23-5 run in the third quarter to extend their 30-17 halftime lead in a home game at Christian Life Academy. Monte del Sol (9-4) didn’t take a winter break, and head coach Nick Rivera said it paid off tonight. “The boys looked good,” he said. “We’ve been working hard over the holidays and it showed. I was happy with them.” Senior Antonio Tapia had 20 points to lead the Dragons while Ryan Vanderham added 18 points.
GIRLS MCCURDY 48, SANTA FE PREPARATORY 40 The Lady Blue Griffins kept things close with the Lady Bobcats in Memorial Gymnasium, but they could not overcome their physicality. “They just continued to be in our face and that got to my team,” Prep head coach Anika Amon said. “They got to us with their pressure. That’s how they play.” Prep (3-5) was up 33-31 at the end of the third quarter, but McCurdy (6-4) increased its defensive pressure in the fourth to keep the Lady Blue Griffins at bay. Alannah Sanchez had 12 points to lead the Lady Bobcats while Tanisha Velasquez added 11. Alexis Mundt had 11 points to lead all Prep scorers. LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON 44, ST. MICHAEL’S 37 The final might suggest the games was close, but St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero said it was anything but that. “The score wasn’t as close as the score indicated,” Romero said. “They kicked our butt.” A poor defensive effort by the Lady Horsemen (10-6) allowed the Lady Cardinals (5-6) to keep a 17-14 halftime lead. “We came out asleep and we were on our heels all night,” Romero said. “They wanted it more than we did.” Erica Herrera led the Lady Cardinals with 12 points.

My twin sister turned her back on me in believing ridiculous lies told by my youngest brother. Several years later, she showed up out of the blue needing a place to live, knowing “Old Sis” would take her in. She lived with me for eight years until she got a job transfer. She still calls wanting money. I’ve learned how to make excuses, but I want it to stop. I need help being upfront with this mooch of a sister, but I’ve never confronted anyone before in my entire life. Any advice? — Sister of a Mooch Dear Sister: You don’t need to be confrontational. You need to be assertive. Your sister takes advantage of you because you permit it. The easiest way to stop permitting it is to learn to say no. So when she asks for money, tell her, “I’m sorry, but not this time.” If she asks why not, reply, “I have loaned you enough.” Practice saying it in front of a mirror until it comes naturally. Write it down on a piece of paper and tape it next to your phone so it is on hand when she calls. You are under no obligation to give her excuses, evasions or explanations. Be polite, but just say no. Dear Annie: I have been widowed for 19 years and belong to a support group of women who go out to lunch once a month. Before I married my late husband, I was an independent businesswoman, cared for an elderly parent, paid my own bills, pumped my own gas, bought my own cars, etc. I was surprised to learn how few of the women in my group know how to do any of these things.

Hocus Focus
Please, please, please tell wives (and husbands) to take responsibility for themselves while their spouses are still living and learn what their financial obligations are, when their bills are due, how to pump gas and all the other things you will need to know in order to be independent. It is hard enough to transition from married life to widowhood without having to learn basic life skills at the same time. — Been There, Knew How To Do That in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: Thank you for the knock on the head. Along with financial matters and pumping gas, both men and women should know how to cook a simple meal, sew on a button, iron a shirt, load the dishwasher and do the laundry. These are skills that everyone needs, and it is shortsighted to assume that someone else will handle them for you for the rest of your life. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Uncomfortable,” whose new mother-in-law wants her to call her “Mom.” I had a similar problem when my son married his wife. I love her dearly. One day, I wrote her an email and signed it, “Love, Your ‘Other’ Mom.” She responded to me in that same way. Now, after several years, she is able to call me “Mom.” When my own mother passed away, I found it difficult to think of another person as my mom. Now, I have friends whose mothers are still living, and I often refer to a few of them as “my other mother.” One of these special moms phones me every now and then and refers to me as her “other daughter.” I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I hope this helps “Uncomfortable” refer to her mother-in-law in a less awkward way. — Been There

A dream in a buttered bun
Years in the making, Santa Fe restaurateur ready to bring his childhood favorite to the masses at Shake Foundation
By Carlos Andres López The New Mexican
T
he wait is nearly over. Four years ago, restaurateur Brian Knox had a vision to create a new dining experience that paid homage to one of his favorite childhood eats and New Mexico’s iconic green chile cheeseburger. By this time next week, the dream should become a reality, when Knox hopes to officially open his latest endeavor, Shake Foundation. “We should be firing up all cylinders by next week,” Knox said Sunday morning during a break from a whirlwind weekend training session with his staff in the kitchen at the walk-up burger joint on Cerrillos Road. In the meantime, Shake is operating on an unofficial soft-opening basis, whereby any curious passerby can order hot-off-the-grill, buttered-bun green chile cheeseburgers and hand-cut shoestring fries from the menu, thus allowing Knox to iron out any wrinkles in his kitchen system before the official opening. “We’re spinning a couple of weeks with a soft opening, going through our system, training a staff and so on. One has to realize that it is a new concept, new building, new staff, and what I’m trying to do is build a center for the community,” Knox said. “It’s been overwhelmingly positive so far. People are just showing up, [and] I haven’t invited a soul.” Knox’s Shake is an original enterprise largely born out of his boyhood memories of eating cheeseburgers at local diners while growing up in Milwaukee. “One of the things I wanted to create was a throwback to my youth, recalling my childhood of retrieving buttered cheeseburgers for my mother. … This is the burger from my childhood,” he said of Shake’s signature item. Partly named after the malted ice cream beverage, Shake is the career equivalent of striking gold for Knox. Boiled down, he said, it’s the culmination of a nearly 30-year career in the restaurant industry and combines his desire to revive nostalgic food for a broad audience and escape the rigid confines of fine-dining cuisine. Prior to Shake, Knox owned Aqua Santa, the contemporary American restaurant on West Alameda Street known for its slow-food menu. He sold the eatery in 2012 to chef Charles Dale of Bouche to exclusively focus on Shake. Before that, he gained fame during the 1990s at Café Escalera and Coyote Cafe. “I felt like there was an opportunity to take a fresh look back and do something fun that would appeal to not only high-end diners but also high school students, baseball teams and Harley-Davidson motorcycle clubs and so on,” he said. “We wanted to make it accessible, so the kid who rides his bike down here can afford to buy a hamburger and Coke.” Most items on the menu are priced at less than $6, and the basic green chile cheeseburger is $3.95. The second half of Shake’s name has a duel meaning, Knox said. On one hand, it reflects Knox’s connection to Santa Fe’s many art foundations; on the other, it relates to the building itself — specifically its two-year renovation from a 50-yearold gas station to a modern-day hamburger hop. “I actually went under the foundation to build the building from the ground up,” he said. When I originally got the property, I thought I would just have to remodel the interior of the building, but as it turned out, everything needed to come down.”
ABOVE: People line up to place their orders Friday outside Shake Foundation.
LEFT: Stan Sodolski of Santa Fe eats a fried oyster sandwich Friday at Shake Foundation. Sodolski said he intends to try a different item from the menu every day until he has tried everything.
With construction now complete, Knox devotes most of his time to perfecting his burgers. “My idea of the perfect burger is somewhat like my idea of a perfect pizza, where the crust is perfect, the cheese is perfect, the sauce is perfect — and all those come together and amalgamate into one unit,” he said. A thin, 3-ounce beef patty is the foundation for Knox’s signature burger. To that, he adds the “hottest green chile” sourced out of Hatch, local Monterey Jack cheese and stewed onions — all of which sit on top of a pillowy-soft, buttered bun, one of his many “proprietary” ingredients. “To me, that’s the perfect burger all amalgamated into one flavor, and it all melts in your mouth,” he said. Besides the classic green chile cheeseburger, Knox also is offering lamb and turkey burgers as well as a fried oyster sandwich served with red chile mayonnaise and lemon. At the moment, Knox is still working on Shake’s namesake item, the milkshake. Once the ice cream leg of his restaurant is up and running, Knox said he’ll be offering shakes — called “Adobe Mud Milkshakes” for their thickness — made from Taos Cow ice cream.
“The ice cream program is going to focus on really straight-ahead flavors — chocolate, vanilla, so on and so forth — without a lot of fancy fixings. It’s really just Taos Cow ice cream, Rasband [Dairy] milk, simple ingredients [and] good malt powder — all done correctly,” he said. Like the ice cream program, Shake’s website is still a work in progress and offers few details about the restaurant. It currently features a three-minute video of pop artist Andy Warhol eating a hamburger, which Knox said perfectly bridges his ties to the arts and food communities in Santa Fe. “When I came across this video of Andy Warhol, one of the greatest pop artists of our time, eating one of the great pop, sort of iconic, foods of our time, it all just came together [for me],” he said. “And what life basically boils down to is having a really great cheeseburger. That’s it. No matter how big or famous you are, it’s universal and provokes memories and associations.” For more information about Shake Foundation, 631 Cerrillos Road, visit shakefoundation.com.

When it’s cold outside, I love making soup for supper. Everything goes into a single pot, starting with an aromatic broth and a substantial array of vegetables, then a little bit of protein, and finally a crispy garnish. And when dinner’s over, there’s only that one pot to wash! This recipe’s fragrant broth is essentially a Chinese version of a Jewish chicken soup. Folklore has it that the latter is a cure-all, if only because it’s so comforting. But once you add a significant amount of fresh ginger, as I have here, your case for the soup’s therapeutic value is even stronger. Swimming in this broth are four vegetables — carrots, shiitake mushrooms, bok choy and peas. I chose them not only because they’re the kind of vegetables you might find in a Chinese soup, but also because they are nutritious and provide a fresh array of colors. Whatever else you add to the soup, make sure that the chicken goes in last. Cut into bite-sized chunks, it takes little time to cook, but it will become tough and leathery if cooked too long. CHINESE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SOUP Total time: 1 hour Makes 4 servings For the wonton crisps: 12 square wonton wrappers ½ teaspoon canola or vegetable oil Salt For the soup: 6 medium scallions 4-by-1-inch piece fresh ginger, unpeeled 3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled ½ cup rice wine, sake or dry sherry 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1½ cups thinly sliced carrots 4 to 5 ounces sliced or cubed shiitake mushrooms 3 tablespoons cornstarch whisked with ¼ cup water 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into ½-inch cubes 3 cups sliced bok choy or napa cabbage 1 cup frozen peas (do not defrost) 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil Preparation: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the wonton wrappers into ¼-inch strips. In a bowl, toss the wonton strips with the oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange the strips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake on the oven’s middle shelf until golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool completely before serving. Meanwhile, place the scallions on a cutting board, then use the side of a large knife or a rolling pin to lightly smash. Cut the ginger into thin rounds, then slice each round into thin matchsticks. In a large saucepan over mediumhigh heat, combine the smashed scallions, sliced ginger, garlic, rice wine and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the solids. Add the carrots and mushrooms and simmer gently, covered, for 5 minutes. Bring the liquid to a boil, then add the cornstarch-water mixture in a stream while whisking. Return to a boil. Add the chicken, bok choy, peas, soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook gently until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each portion with some of the wonton crisps, if using.

f you’re seeking a spiritual experience, this is the place where you’re likely to find one. Eerie jagged spires, Stonehenge-like monoliths, implausibly round boulders and otherworldly caves are just a sampling of the colossal formations at America’s newest national park. And it’s one of the few places to glimpse the endangered California condor, the spectacular bird that resembles a robed Supreme Court justice sporting a nearly 10-foot wingspan. “This place is full of ‘national park’ moments,” says Gavin Emmons, a wildlife biologist who has lived in Pinnacles National Monument for several years. These abundant moments explain why the place received “National Park” designation last Jan. 10. The park is hidden south of San Francisco, in the Gabilan Mountains of California’s Coast Ranges, an hour from the Pacific Ocean just east of the Salinas Valley. Mist-ringed mountains, rolling hills, shady woodlands, cratered valleys, blossom-edge creeks, hidden waterfalls — the landscape resembles a catalogue of natural wonders populated by diverse plants that range from coast live oaks to buckwheat to larkspur and animals such as bobcats, bats, bees, red-legged frogs, white-throated swifts, yellow-billed magpies and prairie falcons. Few places on Earth shelter such a symphony of geological features and fauna and flora. The park’s dramatic landscapes resulted from a volcanic eruption 23 million years ago, assisted by tectonic plate action. Plate movement along the San Andreas fault split the Neenach Volcano in the Los Angeles area, thrusting half of it 195 miles north. Earthquake faulting, lava and erosion sculpted the fantasyland pinnacles, and caves formed when large fallen rock, called talus, wedged into the tops of narrow gorges, creating roofed passages. Pinnacles’ are among the largest talus caves in the United States. This unique geology and tectonic-plates origin story earned Pinnacles national park status. Advocates included Salinas-based Rep. Sam Farr, D-Calif., and filmmaker Ken Burns, who, as the man who made The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, is an ideal judge of unique landscapes. Lured by mild Mediterranean weather that lasts through spring, a lack of crowds and elevations ranging from 824 to 3,304 feet, I’ve come to explore this 26,000-acre wonderland. Snow? It barely dusts the highest peaks, such as North Chalone. The park’s west entrance is closer to the Pacific =Coast, while the east entrance abuts a campground. Thirteen well-maintained hiking trails, rated easy to difficult, weave past clues to the land’s violent past. On the west side, gray marble outcroppings resulted from the shifting Earth’s heat and pressure. Bands of ivory-colored rhyolite mark where lava flowed through fissures in the granite. Rock fragments embedded in lava and ash give breccia rock faces, such as towering Machete Ridge, a pinkish concrete cast. On the east side, sand washes groove rock faces, and sandstone cliffs hover above the original location of the San Andreas fault. “Dusk and dawn are particularly beautiful, especially for colorful light on the rocks, and for greater chances to see condors, prairie falcons and other wildlife,” says Gavin, who likes winter hiking for the temperatures and solitude and spring for the flowing streams and blooming wildflowers. He also likes rope-climbing the park’s 900-some routes, from sport-climbs at the east side’s Discovery Wall to the west side’s multi-pitch routes at Machete Ridge. Knowing that the breccia here is less stable than granite, I’m keeping my boots on the trails and my eyes on the birds. California condors have been rescued from the brink of extinction by captive breeding efforts. “Condor numbers have rebounded from 22 in the late 1980s to around 400 birds [worldwide]
PINNACLES NATIONAL PARK
CALIFORNIA
Highway 146, Paicines 831-389-4486 www.nps.gov/pinn Just east of central California’s Salinas Valley. Pack plenty of water and, for cave trails, flashlights.

Spirit soars like the condors at newest national park
ABOVE: Pinnacles National Park is one of the few places you can glimpse the endangered California condor, the spectacular bird that resembles a robed Supreme Court justice sporting a nearly 10-footwing-span. RIGHT: California’s Pinnacles National Park boasts a variety of rock formations and interesting terrain, including mistringed mountains, rolling hills, shady woodlands, cratered valleys and hidden waterfalls.
today,” Gavin says. “Free-flying pairs have been producing wild-raised nestlings for the last several years.” As a park biologist, Gavin helps manage the central California flock of around 60 free-flying condors, including 34 released and hatched at Pinnacles. Averaging 20 pounds, they’re among the world’s largest birds. Soaring on rising currents of warm air called thermals, they travel miles without flapping their wings, sometimes reaching speeds
of 55 mph and heights of 15,000 feet. Like other birds of prey, condors get poisoned by ingesting animals shot with lead ammunition. Measures designed to help save them include hunter education and a new statewide leadammo ban. We spot a condor soaring over Machete Ridge, an astonishing and much hoped-for sight. But the assumed highlight of my visit turns out to be just a teaser.
LASTING IMAGES HOME AWAY FROM HOME
The next morning, as dawn’s rays halo the west side peaks, I begin a hike with friends, birdwatching guide Tim Amaral and Rochelle Fischer, who’s with the conservation nonprofit Pinnacles Partnership. As we tramp up Juniper Canyon Trail to the High Peaks, two noble black-feathered, pinkheaded birds appear on a cliff. They’re doing the same thing we are: gazing at surreal monoliths, deep canyons and pinnacle-studded slopes. “If you think you’ve seen a condor, you haven’t,” Tim says. “When you see a condor, you know it.” We know it. As we quell our shaken selves to focus our cameras and scopes, our avian idols fan their huge wings in a sun salutation that reveals dazzling white underwing markings. Even their tracking ID tags are visible. It’s hard to look away and resume hiking, but soon we’re rewarded: Rounding a mountainside offers a fresh angle on the condors, who engage in a quick round of jitterbug moves. Ascending slopes on the switchback-kinked trail, we encounter a cinematographer’s delight of real-life stage sets: volcano-sculpted spires, dizzying cliffs, bizarre formations jutting every which way, precariously balanced SUV-size boulders, mosaics of chaparral and desert, mountains with velvety surfaces facing slopes of worn-down stone. Then there’s massive Machete Ridge, named for the sharply angled wall beloved by daredevil climbers. Some remarkable features that at first glance seem nature-made were crafted by man: In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built stairways of stone ledges and, instead of ladders, blasted footholds into vertical rockfaces using dynamite. Rest assured, the iron handrails are solidly bolted and checked regularly by park rangers. Surprises welcome us to each altitude: sky-blue Western scrub-jays, acorn woodpeckers, canyon wrens and other birds feeding upon the winter berries of manzanita shrubs, dazzling clusters of trumpet-shaped California fuchsia, mystical forests of moss-draped trees and rocks upholstered with tapestries of jewel-colored lichens. In January, early-blooming wildflowers include purple shooting stars, white milkmaids and magenta Indian warriors. Then come sunny-yellow bush poppies, multi-hued monkey flowers and aptly named baby blue-eyes. Spring brings fresh hues with redspot clarkia, lemony Johnnyjump-ups, violet-blue lupine and mariposa lilies with white bell-shaped petals smudged with gold, pink and maroon. It’s always ink-black in the caves, requiring flashlights to traverse the dips and rises of the rocky paths. An enormous, perfectly round boulder marks one entrance to the west side’s Balconies Cave. The east side’s Bear Gulch Cave provides critical habitat to a colony of Townsend’s big-eared bats (petite aside from those pointy ears). Sometimes the caves are closed when there’s high water or to protect the bats. As with the condor sightings, our timing’s right for exploring the cave passages. Evening plans have us leaving before dark, so I’ll miss the moonlight hiking that Rochelle describes as transcendent. But that’s OK The sweep of vistas, sunbathing condors and other “national park moments” more than qualify as a spiritual experience.
Frigid but festive beginning to Carnival season in New Orleans By Stacey Plaisance The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Frigid temperatures that dipped below freezing overnight didn’t stop costumed revelers from ushering in the Carnival season aboard a New Orleans streetcar. The Phunny Phorty Phellows club, which first took to the streets in 1878, was one of two groups that paraded Monday night, known as Twelfth Night. For many Christians, the 12th night after Christmas marks the end of the holiday season and the beginning of the overindulgence and debauchery associated with Carnival. In New Orleans, Twelfth Night is when street parades begin and king cakes pop up in grocery stores and bakeries. Aboard the streetcar, the boisterous and colorful Phunny Phorty Phellows bobbed to a brass band as the troupe tossed beads, candy and trinkets to revelers waiting streetside, bundled in heavy coats and scarves. A frigid wind accompanied temperatures that dipped to the low 20s — uncommon in south Louisiana, even in January. “It doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t miss this for anything,” said New Orleans resident Kelley Frank, a cocktail in
hand as she adjusted her long shawl and took in the costumes — many in the traditional Carnival colors of purple, green and gold. “This is what we do, what we live for, rain or shine or in this case, freezing.” For more than 30 years, the Phunny Phorty Phellows streetcar ride is traditionally one of the first street appearances of the Carnival season. Though the group’s beginnings date back to 1878, they had stopped parading in the late 1800s and weren’t revived until 1981. “People know that when they see us coming in the streetcar, Carnival has arrived,” said Jim Hobbs, a longtime member of the club. The Phunny Phorty Phellows club wasn’t the only group parading Monday. In the French Quarter, revelers dressed as knights, peasants and angels paraded on foot, horseback and in pulled carts in a parade that pays homage to Joan of Arc, the martyred girl warrior born on Twelfth Night more than 600 years ago. Monday marked the sixth annual parade for the Krewe of Jeanne d’Arc, which included revelers marching to bagpipes and drums as they tossed fireball candies, matchboxes, tea candles, prayer cards and 16 hand-crafted wooden swords.
