THE 2024 SESSION

In State of the State, governor calls for gun control and more money for health care, housing

ov. Michelle Lujan Grisham laid out an ambitious agenda for this year’s 30-day legislative session that includes a slew of new gun control laws and more money for health care, education, infrastructure and housing.

Much of the governor’s hourlong State of the State address Tuesday was focused on ideas she unveiled earlier this month, either in her budget proposal or in a package of public safety-related bills she released last week.

The governor went off script several times, though, when her speech was interrupted by chants from the House gallery by climate change and pro-Palestinian activists.

After the first interruption by members of the group known as YUCCA — Youth United for Climate Crisis Action — Lujan Grisham said she hoped the protesters would be happier when she got to the part of her speech on climate change and that it takes courage for young people to voice their opinions like that.

“This is a state and this is a country that protects people who do not share your exact opinion, and I’m very proud of that,” she said.

After the second interruption, Lujan Grisham called on lawmakers to “do a round of applause, even though it’s a disruption. The world is complicated.”

After the third interruption, Lujan Grisham said New Mexico is a “clean energy leader” due to her policies.

In her speech, she highlighted her support for electric cars and policies cutting oil and gas pollution.

“As long as I’m governor, we’re going to keep following that path,” she said.

Zephyr Jaramillo, campaign organizer for YUCCA, said the group “snuck” about 100 people into the gallery ahead of the governor’s speech. Members of the group removed layers of clothing during three separate outbursts to reveal

The decision leaves such cases to be decided in tribal courts or through arbitration and was hailed

by Pojoaque Pueblo, which owns Buffalo Thunder.

“The Pueblo of Pojoaque is very happy to receive this important ruling which properly ends tribal gaming tort-claims jurisdiction-shifting to New Mexico state courts,” pueblo Gov. Jenelle Roybal wrote in an email statement sent by attorney Daniel Rey-Bear.

IN BRIEF Trump leaves to campaign as N.Y. sex abuse defamation trial opens NEW YORK — Donald Trump shook his head in disgust Tuesday as the judge in his New York defamation trial told would-be jurors an earlier jury had already decided the former president sexually abused columnist E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s.

Trump left court before opening statements, jetting to a New Hampshire political rally as Carroll’s lawyer accused the Republican presidential front-runner of using “the world’s biggest microphone” to destroy her reputation and turn his supporters against her. Trump’s lawyer contended Carroll has never been more famous and she is blaming him for “a few mean tweets from Twitter trolls.”

Trump departed Tuesday after the nine-member jury was selected.

Trump did not attend the previous trial in the case in May, when a jury found he had sexually abused and defamed Carroll and awarded her $5 million in damages.

The jury said Carroll hadn’t proven Trump raped her.

Federal Reserve governor reiterates rate cuts likely coming in 2024 A prominent Federal Reserve official Tuesday laid out a case for lowering interest rates methodically this year as the economy comes into balance and inflation cools — although he acknowledged the timing of those cuts remained uncertain.

Christopher Waller, one of the Fed’s seven Washington-based officials and one of the 12 policymakers who get to vote at its meetings, said during a speech at the Brookings Institution on Tuesday he saw a case for cutting interest rates in 2024.

Waller suggested the Fed should lower interest rates as inflation falls. Because interest rates do not incorporate price changes, otherwise so-called real rates that are adjusted for inflation would otherwise be climbing as inflation came down, thus weighing on the economy more and more heavily.

Federal judge blocks JetBlue from acquiring Spirit, citing competition A federal judge Tuesday blocked JetBlue Airways’ proposed $3.8 billion acquisition of Spirit Airlines, a victory for the Department of Justice, which argued the deal would harm travelers.

In his 109-page ruling, Judge William Young of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts sided with the Justice Department in determining the merger would reduce competition in the airline business.

The proposed merger would have created the nation’s fifth-largest airline. The Justice Department had argued smaller, low-cost airlines such as Spirit help reduce fares and allowing the company to be acquired by JetBlue, which tends to charge higher prices than Spirit, would have hurt consumers.

Maryland’s largest newspaper sold to Sinclair TV network chairman Maryland’s largest daily newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, has been acquired by David D. Smith, the executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, a family-controlled TV station company headquartered outside Baltimore, for an undisclosed sum.

The purchase returns the paper to local ownership for the first time in decades. It was previously owned by Alden Global Capital, an investment company with a reputation for cost-cutting and slashing staff at local newspapers.

Smith told the Sun he bought it because of its focus on local news.

“I’m in the news business because I believe ... we have an absolute responsibility to serve the public interest,” Smith said. “I think the paper can be hugely profitable and successful and serve a greater public interest over time.”

Sinclair has repeatedly defended the independence and objectivity of its local TV news reporting, which has a distinctive conservative flavor.

Bipartisan package expands child tax credit, gives break to businesses but still needs approval of wider bodies

By Kevin Freking

The Associated Press

KAYLEE GREENLEE/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Podiatry doctor Michael Sobolevsky last month in a patient room at the Texas Diabetes Institute in San Antonio, Texas. Sobolevsky says a combination of genetics, lack of access to health care and diets high in processed foods makes San Antonio the “diabetic foot capital of the world.”

Diabetes crisis in Texas Latino communities Genetics, lack of health care access, diet causing surge in cases

By Edgar Sandoval

The New York Times

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS t a medical facility on the west side of San Antonio, the patients show up with disturbing regularity — most of them men. They have sores on their feet that won’t go away. And they leave with the same devastating news: Their diabetes has progressed to the point that their leg must be amputated to save their lives.

Diabetes has been on the rise around the world, and Latino communities in the United States have been especially hard hit. A lethal combination of genetics, poor access to health care, diets high in processed foods and sedentary lifestyles has created a crisis in places like San Antonio, a majority Mexican American city in southern Texas, that is costing a growing number of men their feet and legs — and eventually, for some, their lives.

Texas has one of the highest rates in the nation for people undergoing diabetes-related amputations, at about 52 per 100,000 hospital admissions. The problem in San Antonio is even worse than in the rest of Texas, especially for men, who are roughly three times more likely to lose a foot or leg to diabetes than women — possibly because of cultural stigmas that prevent many Latino men from looking closely after their health.

“It’s a huge issue in San Antonio, and, dare I say, it’s the diabetic foot capital of the world, in terms of complications,” said Michael Sobolevsky, a podiatry doctor at the Texas Diabetes Institute, the facility run by University Health in the heavily Latino neighborhoods of western San Antonio. “We are constantly amputating.”

The disease is also killing at an alarming rate. Bexar County’s mortality rate for diabetes exceeds that of the rest of Texas and the country as a whole, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that was analyzed by the city’s health department.

Type 2 diabetes, the most common type of the disease, occurs when the body becomes unable to keep blood sugar at normal levels. It affects many parts of the body, but often notably the feet, which may have to be amputated when blood supply fails to reach the lower

A

extremities over extended periods, leading to serious infections that turn to gangrene.

That’s why Sobolevsky warns his patients to take even the slightest sores on their feet seriously. “My job is to prevent, save, save, save.”

The problem was evident to Ralph DeFronzo, who played a key role in the development of metformin, the first-line medication for treatment of diabetes, almost as soon as he arrived in San Antonio in the late 1990s. He said he fell in love with the colorful and welcoming Mexican American culture and city landmarks like the Alamo and the River Walk.

But troubling health patterns became evident to him right away. Even as a young doctor, he knew that Latinos and Native Americans have genes that predispose the pancreas to make insufficient insulin, and other genes that cause tissues to resist it. He also knew that San Antonio’s much-celebrated Tex-Mex cuisine — which often is high in fatty oils and red meat, and includes things like flour tortillas and sweets that are high in processed carbohydrates — can wreak havoc on a body.

A recent city report noted that more than 76% of the adult population in the San Antonio area, or more than 1 million adults, are considered obese or overweight.

“Here in San Antonio, if you actually went and tested all of the people, you would find that probably 1 in every 2 individuals over the age of 40 has diabetes,” DeFronzo said.

In 1999, the Texas Diabetes Institute opened as an expansive facility on the city’s West Side, a historically Mexican American neighborhood that, along with the city’s southern neighborhoods, has had fewer medical facilities than wealthier sections of town, an analysis by the San Antonio Express-News found.

It is also an area of town where the cost of health care can be an issue. Republicans in Texas have consistently opposed expanding Medicaid for low-income residents under the Affordable Health Care Act of 2013. A recent study by Texas 2036, a think tank, found more than 16% of the state’s population, or 5 million people, do not have health insurance.

“If Texas expanded Medicaid, we’d see fewer amputations,” said Joaquin Castro, a congressman who represents San Antonio.

Alleged New York serial killer charged with fourth murder

By Corey Kilgannon

The New York Times

When Rex Heuermann was arrested and charged in July as the Gilgo Beach serial killer, prosecutors outlined a narrative against him his defense lawyer, Michael Brown, attacked as cherry-picked and DNA evidence Brown derided as shaky.

Heuermann, 60, had been charged with killing three of the so-called Gilgo Four, a quartet of women who in 2010 were found bound with burlap, belts and tape on the Long Island, N.Y., oceanfront.

Prosecutors said they were awaiting

the DNA testing they needed to charge him in the killing of the fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, of Norwich, Conn.

But when those charges finally came Tuesday, just over six Rex Heuermann months later, prosecutors used the occasion to deliver their version of a knockout punch in the case.

In addition to charging Heuermann with second-degree murder in court, they filed an extensive outline of an updated, ratcheted-up case that seemed

to stun the normally agile Brown.

After the hearing, he deflected questions regarding the new evidence, saying it had only just been divulged to him. He said his client had “maintained his innocence from Day 1” and that he was “looking forward to fighting these charges.”

Previously, Brown had cited weaknesses in the mitochondrial DNA testing method used by investigators to connect stray hairs found on the victims with Heuermann and his family.

But in court papers filed Tuesday, prosecutors included details of additional DNA testing that had been conducted, and that establishes the

WASHINGTON — The chairmen of the top tax policy committees in Congress announced a bipartisan agreement Tuesday to enhance the child tax credit and revive a variety of tax breaks for businesses, a combination designed to attract support from lawmakers of both political parties.

The roughly $78 billion in tax cuts would be paid for by more quickly ending a tax break Congress approved during the coronavirus pandemic that encouraged businesses to keep employees on their payroll.

The agreement was announced by Sen. Ron Wyden, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Rep. Jason Smith, the Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The lawmakers have been negotiating for months on a tax package that would address an array of priorities before lawmakers turn their focus to election season.

Wyden said his goal is to gain approval of the measure in time for businesses and families to benefit during the upcoming filing season. The Internal Revenue Service will begin accepting and processing tax returns Jan. 29, so lawmakers are looking to move the bill as quickly as possible.

Meeting that goal may prove difficult as lawmakers are already racing to finish their spending bills and are considering a bill focused on both aiding Israel and Ukraine and stemming the flow of migrants entering the country at the U.S.-Mexico border. One option would be for leaders in the House and Senate to attach the measure to one of those top-priority bills.

In forging the agreement, Democratic negotiators were focused on boosting the child tax credit. The tax credit is $2,000 per child, but only $1,600 is refundable, which makes it available to parents who owe little to nothing in federal income taxes. The bill would incrementally increase the maximum refundable child tax credit to $1,800 for 2023 tax returns, $1,900 for the following year and $2,000 for 2025 tax returns.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank and advocacy group, projected about 16 million children in low-income families would benefit from the child tax credit expansion.

Republicans were focused on tax breaks for businesses that they said would help grow the economy. The tax breaks in the bill would generally align their expiration date — the end of 2025 — with many of the other tax cuts that were approved in 2017.

Most notably, the bill would give companies of all sizes the ability to deduct research and development costs immediately rather than over the course of five years. It would also allow businesses to fully deduct the purchase of equipment, machinery and technology.

And, the bill also provides more flexibility in determining how much borrowing can be deducted.

Smith said the agreement “strengthens Main Street businesses, boosts our competitiveness with China, and creates jobs.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he supported the tax package and “that there are many things in it both sides can celebrate.” He praised the inclusion of an increased tax credit for the construction and rehabilitation of housing for low-income households, and he said he could not have supported the package without it.

U.S. strikes Houthis in Fighting erupts in north Gaza Yemen for third time ISR AEL- HAMA S WAR

By Najib Jobain, Samy Magdy and Melanie Lidman The Associated Press

Data says air bombings ineffective in limiting group’s ability to attack

By Eric Schmitt and Saeed Al-Batati The New York Times

WASHINGTON — The United States carried out a new military strike against Houthi ballistic missiles in Yemen on Tuesday, the U.S. military said, but the latest salvo against the Iran-backed group left the White House grappling with how to stop a battle-hardened foe from disrupting shipping lanes critical for global trade.

The strikes Tuesday, the third overall against the group since a U.S.-led air and naval barrage hit dozens of targets last week, destroyed four missiles the Pentagon’s Central Command said posed an imminent threat to merchant vessels and Navy ships traveling through the Red Sea and nearby waters.

But the preemptive U.S. strike also came on the third day in a row the Houthis have defied the Biden administration and its allies by firing missiles at passing ships, damaging a Greek-owned cargo vessel Tuesday. The Houthis damaged a U.S.-owned commercial ship Monday after attempting to hit an American warship the day before.

“We’re not looking for a war; we’re not looking to expand this,” John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesperson, told reporters Tuesday, adding, “We will continue to defend against them and counter them as appropriate.”

That leaves the administration with difficult choices. President Joe Biden could order another blitz of strikes against Houthi air defenses, weapons depots and facilities for launching and producing an array of missiles and drones, but analysts say that would risk widening the war even more. Or he could settle for more limited tit-for-tat exchanges, like Tuesday’s strike, but that would not necessarily resolve the threat to commercial ships, analysts say.

Neither approach has fazed the Houthis. Vowing solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the group’s leaders have said they will continue their attacks in what they say is a protest against Israel’s military campaign in the territory.

A confidential Pentagon analysis of the first barrage suggests otherwise. While the U.S.-led strikes damaged or destroyed about 90% of the targets that were struck, the Houthis retained about three-quarters of their ability to fire missiles and drones at ships, two U.S. officials said Saturday.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Palestinian militants battled Israeli forces in devastated northern Gaza and launched a barrage of rockets from farther south Tuesday in a show of force more than 100 days into Israel’s massive air and ground campaign against the tiny coastal enclave.

The fighting in the north, which was the first target of Israel’s offensive and where neighborhoods have been pulverized, showed how far Israel remains from achieving its goals of dismantling Hamas and returning scores of hostages captured in the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war.

In other developments, France and Qatar, the Persian Gulf nation that helped mediate a previous cease-fire, said late Tuesday they had brokered a deal between Israel and Hamas to deliver medicine to Israeli hostages in Gaza, as well as additional aid to Palestinians in the besieged territory.

France said it had been working since October on the deal, which will provide three months’ worth of medication for 45 hostages with chronic illnesses, as well as other medicines and vitamins. The medicines are expected to enter Gaza from Egypt on Wednesday.

agreement between the warring sides since a weeklong truce in November.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis is worsening, with 85% of the territory’s 2.3 million Palestinians having fled their homes and U.N. agencies warning of mass starvation and disease. The conflict threatens to widen after the U.S. and Israel traded strikes with Iranian-backed groups across the region.

In other recent developments, Iran fired missiles late Monday at what it said were Israeli “spy headquarters” in an upscale neighborhood near the sprawling U.S. Consulate in Irbil, the seat of Iraq’s northern semi-autonomous

Kurdish region. Iraq and the U.S. condemned the strikes, which killed several civilians, and Baghdad recalled its ambassador to Iran in protest.

Iranian-backed groups in Iraq and Syria have carried out dozens of attacks on bases housing U.S. forces, and a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad killed an Iranian-backed militia leader earlier this month.

Zelenskyy lashes out at Putin and presses allies at Davos forum DAVOS, Switzerland — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy came out swinging Tuesday against Russian leader Vladimir Putin at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, while urging political and business leaders facing war fatigue in the West to enforce sanctions, help rebuild his country and advance the peace process.

Zelenskyy is trying to keep his country’s long and largely stalemated defense against Russia on the minds of political leaders, as Israel’s war with Hamas, which passed the 100-day mark this week, siphons off much of the world’s attention and has sparked concerns about a wider conflict in the Middle East.

He sought to center Ukraine as a pillar in defense of democracies.

“Anyone thinks this is only about us, this is only about

A-3

Ukraine, they are fundamentally mistaken,” Zelenskyy said in a speech at the Swiss ski resort.

“Putin embodies war,” he said, lashing out at the Kremlin leader for leveling cities and imposing “the terrifying feeling that the war may never end.”

He also offered criticism for a world that told him not to worsen tensions ahead of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.

“After Feb. 24th, nothing harmed our coalition more than this concept. Every ‘Don’t escalate’ to us, sounded like ‘You will prevail’ to Putin,” Zelenskyy said.

He thanked allies for sanctions on Moscow but urged them to ensure they work. He said he believed the European Union and U.S. would come through in “a matter of weeks” with more aid that has been held up by political infighting within his two biggest allies.

It was Zelenskyy’s first trip to Davos since the war began — he spoke by video in previous years.

LEGISLATURE GOP: Rosy speech ignores realities

Milan Simonich h Ringside Sea at

Color, candor from the Capitol

C

anned speeches, the variety that might provide comfort to insomniacs, always dominate opening day of the New Mexico Legislature.

But a few moments of spontaneity and candor also occurred Tuesday in the Capitol’s halls of power.

State Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto, who’s been accused of sexual harassment and other inappropriate conduct by female lobbyists, ambled by in good spirits.

Will this be your last session, senator?

“That’s not my plan,” said Ivey-Soto, a Democrat who represents a district in northeast Albuquerque.

Does that mean you’re running for reelection this year?

“We’ll see,” Ivey-Soto said as he walked away.

If he tries for a fourth four-year term, he would face opposition in the June primary election from at least one challenger. Heather Berghmans announced her candidacy last fall. She was finance director of a political committee supporting Democratic candidates for the state House of Representatives.

Ivey-Soto previously told me most of the harassment allegations against him are untrue. He admitted referring to two female lobbyists as, “Hips and Lips,” terms Ivey-Soto said he foolishly repeated after hearing them in a movie starring Matthew McConaughey.

Ivey-Soto resigned his chairmanship of the Senate Rules Committee after the complaints about his behavior surfaced in 2022. His critics failed in attempts to remove him from the Senate altogether, prompting them to say the Legislature’s anti-harassment policy does not work properly.

If he runs again, Ivey-Soto would have both vocal enemies and a substantial campaign bank account. State records showed he had $120,000 on hand as of October, the last reporting period.

In another section of the Capitol stood Allen Sánchez, who represents the state’s three Catholic bishops on matters of legislative policy. Across the years, the bishops, through Sánchez, have lobbied lawmakers on a variety of issues. Opposition to both abortion and reinstatement of the death penalty in New Mexico were among their high-profile stands.

They are involved again in the 30-day session now underway.

“The bishops will be supporting gun safety and gun-violence prevention with a big emphasis that prevention is really working with preteens,” Sánchez said.

Another element of Sánchez’s approach on behalf of the church is encouraging lawmakers to spend a portion of a $3.4 billion windfall from oil revenues to build more detoxification and treatment centers.

“Now that you have a surplus, more treatment would reach all the hot-button issues — crime, addiction and mental health. That’s a lot easier than rounding up machine guns,” he said.

On the floor above, House Speaker Javier Martínez, D-Albuquerque, told a room full of reporters he’s confident legislative business will be handled more efficiently now that the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers have been eliminated from the NFL playoffs. The speaker is a big fan of the Eagles. Other legislators follow the Dallas team, and the wisest of them back the Steelers.

Onto more serious matters, Martínez said he hadn’t seen any legislation to prohibit panhandling in New Mexico.

That’s because no such bill had been filed as of Tuesday afternoon, though Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has twice publicly endorsed a prohibition on panhandling.

In a media handout, Lujan Grisham listed a ban as part of her legislative agenda on public safety. The governor also included a paragraph on prohibiting panhandling in the State of the State Address she delivered Tuesday.

“I am proposing that we end the practice of panhandling on our streets. We have one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the entire country. And a situation where drivers are at increased risk is not tenable,” she said.

Lawmakers aren’t eager to disagree with a governor who can veto their bills. But two whispered the First Amendment weighs in against Lujan Grisham.

They described a fellow on a street corner holding a sign saying, “Homeless, anything helps.” He won’t be chased away by a law that conflicts with his right of free speech.

Cities in New Mexico already have panhandling ordinances for public spaces. They outlaw aggressive tactics, such as following or otherwise trying to intimidate someone.

Albuquerque went further with a “pedestrian safety ordinance” that was a thinly disguised law against panhandling.

A federal judge in 2019 struck down most of the ordinance as a violation of the First Amendment. The only part that withstood a challenge prohibited pedestrians from standing in travel lanes while panhandling.

Ivey-Soto seems like a lock to outlast any anti-panhandling bill the governor drums up. After that, his future in politics is up in the air.

LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP Days remaining in session: 29 ‘Laser focused’ on crime: A few hours ahead of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s State of the State address — Tuesday’s main event at the Capitol — House Speaker Javier Martínez and other Democrats announced some of their top priorities.

Record revenue in the forecast for the next fiscal year offers “great opportunities” for lawmakers to address a range of key issues, such as affordable housing, behavioral health care and crimefighting, Martínez said at a morning news conference.

It remains unclear, however, how

Republicans call Lujan Grisham’s remarks at Capitol ‘a facade,’ say New Mexicans know better

By Robert Nott

rnott@sfnewmexican.com

On almost every issue, from crime to gun control to public education, Republicans state legislators said the governor’s State of the State address sidestepped many of the realities New Mexicans live in.

“Did you hear anything about border security?”

Rep. Jim Townsend, R-Aztec, said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon shortly after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s speech. “Did you hear anything about fentanyl? Not a single word.”

Senate Minority Leader Greg Baca, R-Belen, said despite the optimistic tone of the governor’s “rosy” portrait of the state, “we remain at the top of every bad list and at the bottom of every good list” in the nation on most issues.

Baca criticized her call for an assault weapons ban.

“We have not addressed crime,” he said. “She has been here six years. ... Her solution instead is to punish the average citizen by taking away their Second Amendment rights.

“This is a gun grab,” he added.

House Minority Leader Ryan Lane, R-Aztec, echoed that thought. Based on the governor’s speech, he said, “you would think new Mexico is first in every important metric. In fact, we’re 50th.”

Minority party responses Greg Baca to any governor’s State of the State address are often filled with barbs and political potshots. But Baca, accompanied by Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, took a more strident, even outraged tone as he let loose on some of the governor’s comments and proposals. He called her speech “a facade” and said most New Mexicans “know that things on the street are a little bit different” than the governor suggested.

“Why haven’t we improved our education system?” Baca said. “Why do criminals run along the streets, terrorizing us, through a revolving door, basically going into jail, coming back out? Our judges continually let them out because they don’t have a platform to meaningfully hold them behind bars.”

Baca said he wants to support the governor in some areas and will do so with crime legislation that “keeps the bad guys behind bars,” such as with her call for tougher pretrial

detention laws to hold more suspected violent criminals in jail until they go to trial. Advocates for such a move say it would keep dangerous people off the streets, while critics say it could violate their rights as suspects are presumed innocent until found guilty. In the past, some Democrats have opposed and worked to block changes to the law.

Both Baca and Lane said Republicans are willing to work with Lujan Grisham and state Democrats on some initiatives both sides agree on, but they said they could not support any ban or limit on firearms that, they say, would violate New Mexicans’ constitutional rights.

Baca, Lane and Townsend all said it was unfortunate the governor did not mention in her speech the contributions the oil and gas industry makes to the state. New Mexico’s oil production jumped to 658 million barrels in fiscal year 2023 from 531 million barrels the year before, but the industry’s growth is expected to slow in another year or so. That oil and gas money makes up almost half of the state’s revenue.

Both Baca and Lane said they were also disappointed the governor did not mention the problems at the troubled Children, Youth and Families Department.

“Children are getting killed under the care of CYFD,” Baca said. “Why are we not looking into that?”

Big agenda Continued from Page A-1

T-shirts with slogans such as “real climate action now” and “defend the sacred.”

“The message that we’re trying to deliver to the governor and lawmakers right now is that we elected them to represent us,” Jaramillo said. “They work for us, not industry, and right now they are not acting like it. We need courageous leadership.”

Jaramillo said protesters also wanted to bring light to the “genocide” in Gaza amid a monthslong war between Israel and Hamas.

“We will absolutely not allow New Mexico to continue to arm the war machine,” they said. “We do not want New Mexico to fuel the climate crisis, and the people want peace and justice everywhere, so we ask that folks stand up for a cease-fire, and we ask that they stand up for an economy that’s based on life and not death.”

Rep. John Block, R-Alamogordo, called the protesters “insurrectionists” who should’ve been arrested.

“That’s what they call anyone else who barges in a capitol building and starts harassing and attacking the procedure of the day,” he said.

“If I was governor, they would be in chains,” added Block, a supporter of former President Donald Trump who was in Washington, D.C., during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Despite the disruptions, several people who attended the governor’s speech lauded her legislative agenda, particularly her gun violence prevention efforts.

Richelle Montoya, vice president of the Navajo Nation, said she supported the governor’s push to ban assault weapons.

“We have a right to protect ourselves with weapons, guns,” she said, adding the Navajo Nation is isolated and far from law enforcement.

“My issue is the automatic weapons. We don’t need that out there.

We can hunt, and we can protect our homes, but I think that’s as far as that should go,” Montoya said.

During the speech, Lujan Grisham repeated her support for numerous anti-crime and gun control measures, including the assault weapons ban, as well as a 14-day waiting period to buy a gun, mandatory treatment for some drug offenders, cracking down on panhandling and making it easier to jail violent offenders as they await their trial.

“No responsible gun owner should be punished or prevented from exercising their rights — and

many of the 21 bills in the governor’s wide-ranging public safety package — announced Friday and emphasized in her speech Tuesday — will gain House Democrats’ support.

Asked if they will back the governor’s proposed ban on assault weapons, an effort that has failed in the past, Martínez said the measure, “like all bills, will be considered.”

“As a House, as Democrats, we are laser focused” on combating crime, he added.

“Now, whether or not our caucus will solidly stand behind all 21 proposals, we shall see,” Martínez continued. “That’s why we have a committee process.”

First up, the feed bill: Members of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee met Tuesday afternoon to approve a bill

Protesters erupt into a chant directed at Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham as she delivers her State of the State speech on Tuesday.

no child should ever be put in danger by a weapon of war, especially one wielded by a person who can’t pass a background check, or can’t wait two weeks to get a firearm,” she said. “Any gun in the wrong hands is an untenable risk that we can’t afford.”

Cindy Benedict, a Rio Rancho resident and volunteer with gun control advocacy group Moms Demand Action, said the governor’s gun control measures are common sense.

“We were very, very pleased to hear that she wants to do the [longer] waiting period and she wants to increase the minimum age … and proposals of what we do with weapons of war,” Benedict said, adding she also supports the governor’s goal to strengthen the state’s so-called “red flag” gun law that allows for the temporary seizure of guns from people who pose a risk to themselves or others.

Benedict said Moms Demand Action isn’t against gun ownership.

“I believe … we’re trying to come up with solutions,” she said. “We’re not grandstanding.”

On infrastructure, Lujan Grisham called for $100 million for a matching fund to help local communities get as much federal money as possible, and another $55 million to expand the state’s electric vehicle charging network.

She reiterated her desire for another $500 million for low-interest loans for developers and expanded homebuying programs and threw her support behind creating a state Office of Housing.

State funding for housing development should be contingent on local governments instituting “zoning and permitting requirements that meet national best practices,” she said.

“Nobody should be prevented from building vital housing, and nobody should be shut out of a place to live because of outdated and overlapping regulations,”

allocating funds to pay staff and cover other costs of operating a legislative session.

They voted 14-4 to approve the $43 million measure known as the “feed bill.”

Viva Las Vegas! Tuesday was Las Vegas Day in the Capitol Rotunda. City, county and education leaders showed up in force to tout the small Northern New Mexico town east of Santa Fe. “It gives our municipality the chance to meet with our state representatives and senators and give them a brief update on what we are working on,” said Chuck Griego, an event planner for the city of Las Vegas.

New Mexico Highlands University, Luna Community College and Las Vegas City Schools were repre-

Lujan Grisham said.

Maddy Hayden, the governor’s spokeswoman, wrote in an email the administration hopes to create the new requirements through rule making and changes to the Enterprise Opportunity Revolving Fund.

The executive budget recommendation includes $250 million for the fund.

“That said, we would be open to legislative proposals creating those requirements as well,” Hayden wrote.

Lujan Grisham reiterated her support for a 180-day school year, which has been controversial in some rural districts, in particular, that have four-day school weeks, and said lawmakers should fund it.

“We’ve seen the proven effectiveness of more time in class,” she said. “It’s time to do the right thing for our kids.”

The governor said she is calling for $30 million to build a statewide literacy institute and another $30 million to support free literacy summer programs for 10,000 students who need to catch up to grade level.

“Every student — and frankly, every New Mexican — should be given the opportunity to learn to read to the best of their ability,” she said.

As a former middle school teacher, Sen. Leo Jaramillo, D-Española, said he was happy to hear the governor ask the Legislature to invest in an institute focused on improving literacy skills for New Mexicans of all ages.

“This is a major step in ensuring that every child in New Mexico can read proficiently at their grade level and one that I support,” he said.

Lujan Grisham also said the state needs to ensure school districts are accountable for their results.

Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez lauded the governor’s commitment

sented at booths and tables.

Jackie Romero, 19, chatted with Capitol visitors while wearing the crown she won at the La Princesa de Las Vegas pageant during the city’s Fourth of July Fiestas.

Romero, a pre-nursing student at Luna Community College, said she served as Sen. Pete Campos’ page one day when she was 12. She isn’t interested in politics, she added, but was proud to represent her hometown.

“I like to learn about the history of New Mexico,” she said. “… I just love the culture that we have. It’s kinda just in my blood.”

A few new faces: Though 2023 was not an election year for state lawmakers, vacancies in the House and Senate brought new members to both chambers.

Democrat Cristina Parajón, former director of strategy for the New Mexico Human Services Department, was appointed to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Rep. Christine Trujillo, an Albuquerque Democrat who stepped down in July after more than a decade in the Legislature. Parajón took her oath of office Monday during opening ceremonies in the House.

Greg Nibert, a Roswell Republican who has been a member of the House since 2016, was sworn in as a senator Tuesday. He was appointed to fill the seat of former Sen. Stuart Ingle, R-Portales who announced his retirement in October after 39 years in the Legislature.

Jared Hembree, a Republican attorney from Roswell, was sworn in as Nibert’s successor in the House.

to education.

“She wants outcomes, as do we,” he said. “We want a return on investment, so we’ll continue the good effort and continue to try to improve efforts on behalf of the school district. But also, at the end of the day, it’s about those students.

We want the best for all students, so that includes outcomes, that includes high-quality material and quality instruction.”

Chavez said Lujan Grisham’s commitment to tackling gun violence is a direct contributor to student outcomes.

“They need to feel safe, and they need to feel welcome at their place of schooling,” he said.

The governor she wants more money for Medicaid and rural health care and a new hospital provider tax, which she said would bring in another $1.5 billion to $2 billion, “shoring up our health care delivery system without costing patients or providers a dime.”

She also called on lawmakers to finish work on the state Health Care Authority that was created last year to replace the Human Services Department.

“New Mexicans should never have their lives or livelihoods threatened by insurance companies that are more determined to make a dollar than a difference,” she said.

While the governor outlined her priorities for the session, she also touted the state’s accomplishments during her tenure, from job and wage growth to the creation of the Land of Enchantment Legacy Fund to fund conservation programs.

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth of Santa Fe said in a statement it was good to hear what the governor and Legislature have accomplished together over the last six years.

“Our economy is strong and the future is looking bright, but we still have a lot to do,” he said. “The governor’s agenda is an ambitious one for a 30-day session, especially as we tackle a budget with revenue projections unlike anything this Legislature has ever seen. But the issues she outlined, including housing, rural health care needs, clean energy and gun safety are all important topics we cannot afford to wait to address.”

State Auditor Joseph Maestas said the governor “breaks the mold when it comes to traditional budget sessions,” such as by taking on issues like gun safety.

“It’s a 30-day session; there’s a 15-day cutoff for introducing new legislation, so it’s going to be hectic,” he said.

Staff writers Robert Nott and Gabrielle Porter contributed to this report.

Rancher and businessman Steve McCutcheon II, a Carlsbad Republican and former Eddy County commissioner, succeeds former Sen. Gay Kernan, R-Hobbs, who resigned in August after 21 years in the Legislature. McCutcheon took his oath of office in the Senate.

Welcome back, Jim: House Republicans met Monday to choose Nibert’s successor as House minority whip. They chose Rep. Jim Townsend, R-Artesia, who had served as minority leader from 2019 to 2022, when he chose not to run for the position again. Rep. Ryan Lane, R-Aztec, stepped into the role at the end of 2022.

In a brief interview Monday, Townsend said, “I’m happy to be back in leadership again.”

A clean fuel standard benefits consumers and our future.

New Mexicans want a cleaner, more equitable future for all. But greenhouse gas emissions from transportation are contributing to adverse climate effects, costing consumers billions of dollars every year.

There is a solution. Enacting a clean fuel standard would increase low carbon fuel options for our vehicles, reduce emissions, and give consumers cleaner—and more affordable—choices at the pump.

It’s time to enact a clean fuel standard to pave the way to a cleaner future.

Family seeks answers in hit-and-run death Continued from Page A-1

She added, “I don’t feel anger, but I would like to know more, if possible, about what happened and who was involved.”

Maeve Long was a student at Santa Fe Community College and a graduate of Santa Fe High School. She was studying to be a computer programmer, her parents said, and had plans to soon transfer to another college to earn a degree.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the hit-andrun but has not yet identified any suspects.

Long was outside her vehicle — parked on the southbound shoulder of the interstate — when deputies believe she was stuck by another vehicle.

Her car was turned off with the doors closed when she was found lying on the ground next to it, her father said. It isn’t clear why she might have stopped her car and got out.

Investigators hope the incident was captured by a nearby surveillance camera, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Denise Womack-Avila said.

She added deputies have not yet filed any reports on the incident.

Joe Long said he has “a lot of unanswered questions” he hopes will be answered by the investigation.

Since their daughter’s death, the couple have been staying at a friend’s rental property.

“We can’t bear to go home,” Ryan-Long said. “It almost doesn’t feel like our home because it’s missing her.”

Others who knew Maeve Long are also mourning the loss.

Mariah Rivera, who had been friends with Long since they participated in high school band together, said she and many other friends are still shocked and confused by her death.

Long had played the bass clarinet and was a percussionist, and Rivera played the flute, she said.

She described her friend as “very adventurous” and “not a quiet person at all.”

“She had a whole life ahead of her,” Rivera said.

Long also sang in the high school choir, participating for two years in the New Mexico AllState Choir.

She continued to sing as an alto and soprano in several choruses, including the Sangre de Cristo Chorale and the Santa Fe Symphony Chorus.

She sang with her father in the choir at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, where she and her family were parishioners, for the midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. “She was very, very talented musically,” her father said, adding the two once had an opportunity to sing together with the choir at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

As a child, Maeve Long attended several schools in Santa Fe and performed in a children’s theater group based in Eldorado.

She took an interest in astronomy and space photography, her mother said, creating paintings and photographs of the moon, planets and stars.

The family has received support from members of their church, her daughter’s choirs and others, she said.

“We’re definitely being held up by the community and by the love and the prayers that people are sharing,” Ryan-Long said.

“We are just trying to figure out how we are going to live this new life,” she added. “I just can’t picture it.”

High court: Tribes have jurisdiction over casino cases This decision vindicates the “ sovereign authority of all Indian

Continued from Page A-1

“This decision vindicates the sovereign authority of all Indian Pueblos and Nations in New Mexico and confirms that the State is bound by its gaming compact with us. We look forward to implementation of this decision going forward,” Roybal wrote in the statement.

“The Pueblo continues to provide safe and welcoming gaming facilities for all, as well as remedies for our visitors who claim bodily injury or property damages caused by our gaming enterprises.”

A provision in gaming compacts hammered out between the state and tribal governments decades ago had included a clause that waived tribal sovereign immunity to allow jurisdiction to be moved from tribal court to state court for some damage claims. But the language of the compacts left the door open for the so-called “visitor protection provision” to be terminated if a state or federal court determined the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act prohibited such jurisdictional shifting.

Tuesday’s opinion concluded federal court rulings in 2013 and 2018 in two cases involving New Mexico Indian tribes had triggered the termination clause.

The court stopped short of providing an opinion on whether the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act —the 1988 federal law that made wide-scale gambling possible on Native land — prohibited jurisdictional shifting in all circumstances.

The opinion, authored by New Mexico Supreme Court Chief Justice C. Shannon Bacon, emphasized the ruling was based on reviewing the gambling compacts as contracts and determined only whether previous rulings had qualified as final for the purpose of triggering termination of the visitor protection provision.

The court’s decision reversed a state Court of Appeals deci-

The Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino in 2020. The state Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled personal injury lawsuits against New Mexico tribal casinos can’t be brought in state court.

sion that would have permitted Jeremiah Sipp, also known as Sage Rader, and his wife, Hella Rader, to proceed with a lawsuit in state court against Buffalo Thunder Inc., Pojoaque Pueblo and other tribal enterprises.

Sipp’s claim said he was moving in and out of a receiving area when a Buffalo Thunder employee suddenly lowered a large, electric garage-type door as he was in the entryway. The door struck Sipp in the head with such force he was knocked unconscious. He suffered severe head and spinal injures that required surgery, according to his complaint.

The couple’s attorney, Timothy White, declined to comment.

Richard Hughes, a Santa Fe attorney who had filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of Santa Ana and Santa Clara pueblos, called the ruling “hugely important.”

“It’s quite climactic,” Hughes said in a phone interview.

“We’ve been litigating this issue for about 20 years, and it’s highly gratifying to finally get the state courts to acknowledge the right result.”

Hughes said Tuesday the rul-

ing is likely to be “the final word” in this case because the state Supreme Court decided the issue based only on an interpretation of state law.

“That’s a good thing,” he said.

“If they had gone ahead and interpreted the language of [the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act], that would have been an issue the plaintiffs could have tried to take to the federal Supreme Court.”

The ruling likely will bring long-awaited clarity to the jurisdictional issue and may result in a number of cases pending in state District Courts being dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Hughes said his firm had two cases pending in the state Court of Appeals on the issue, “and this decision should put an end to both of those cases.”

Hughes said Tuesday the ruling likely will result in many plaintiffs opting to have their cases decided through arbitration — as allowed under the compacts — rather than in tribal courts, due to “an unfair but strong bias

against tribal courts.”

“Lawyers don’t want to argue in tribal court, which is why they fought so hard to get [the visitor protection provisions] included in the compacts,” he said. “They figure tribal courts are going to always rule against them or that they won’t get good damages.

These are unfair and untrue beliefs, but that’s what we deal with.”

Hughes said the court’s ruling reaffirms the concepts of a 1959 opinion handed down by the U.S.

Supreme Court that determined tribes should be “entitled to make their own laws and be ruled by them and have their own courts determine the propriety of their behavior.”

Attorneys David J. Stout and Michael B. Browde, who had filed an amicus brief on behalf of the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association contending the state Supreme Court should affirm state courts’ jurisdiction over the cases, did not respond to messages seeking comment.

Domenici’s daughter to run for Senate Democratic Republican seeking seat held by Democrat Heinrich

By Phill Casaus and Phaedra Haywood

pcasaus@sfnewmexican.com phaywood@sfnewmexican.com

The surname Domenici likely will again appear on a New Mexico ballot later this year.

Nella Louise Domenici, the daughter of former U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, has declared herself a candidate for the Senate seat held by Democrat Martin Heinrich.

Nella Domenici filed a statement of candidacy Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission declaring she’ll run as a Republican, the party her father championed for several decades in New Mexico.

Her entrance into the race less than five months before the June 4 primary adds to a GOP race that had yet to garner much attention from would-be Republican candiNella dates, though that Domenici may be changing.

Ben Luna and former Bernalillo County Sheriff Manny Gonzales were the only entrants until Tuesday, when Domenici and John Thomas Roberts of Anthony filed candidacies.

The GOP primary winner will face off against Heinrich, a well-funded, two-term incumbent from Albuquerque.

Domenici, whose LinkedIn page says she is a senior financial and oper-

ations executive, board director and philanthropist, did not make herself available for questions Tuesday. A promised news release announcing her candidacy never materialized late Tuesday.

According to a bio on the LANL Foundation website, Domenici has spent much of her career in the business world on the East Coast while also serving on nonprofit boards for organizations that focus on education, health care and the arts. She has undergraduate and law degrees from Georgetown University. She was born in Albuquerque and moved to Washington, D.C., with her family after Pete Domenici was elected to a U.S. Senate seat in 1972.

Pete Domenici represented New Mexico in the Senate from 1973 through 2009 and for decades was an influential player in the Republican

Party at both the state and national levels. A vocal proponent of New Mexico’s national laboratories, for many years he served as chairman or ranking member of the powerful Senate Budget Committee. He died in 2017 at 85.

Domenici is the last Republican elected to the Senate from New Mexico, which has tilted increasingly Democratic in the past 15 years. Only once in his six campaigns did he fail to win less than 54% of the vote. His last successful campaign was in 2002.

After he decided not to seek reelection in 2008, his seat was won by Tom Udall of Santa Fe. Another member of the late senator’s family, Pete Domenici Jr., ran for a statewide office in New Mexico in 2010. He was defeated in the Republican primary for governor by Susana Martinez in 2010.

Wastewater testing uncovers drug use at 6 S.F. high schools

By Nicholas Gilmore

ngilmore@sfnewmexican.com

A newly launched statewide program to evaluate student drug use by testing wastewater has detected traces of cocaine and amphetamine in a majority of high schools across New Mexico.

Results posted on an online platform by the New Mexico Environment Department show testing so far hasn’t found any heroin in schools, but fentanyl or norfentanyl has been detected in at least 12 schools, including seven in Albuquerque.

The agency’s Wastewater Drug Monitoring Dashboard shows evidence of cocaine and methamphetamine use in all six high schools in Santa Fe that have been tested.

However, the Environment Department noted in a news release, the test cannot distinguish between illegal methamphetamine and prescription medications to treat ADHD that contain amphetamine.

Codeine was detected at Capital High School and Monte del Sol Charter School, and morphine was found in wastewater at the Academy for Technology and the Classics. No other opioids — such as heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone or methadone — have been detected at a Santa Fe school.

Samples were collected in November and December from wastewater at Santa Fe High School, Capital High School, Tierra Encantada Charter School, Monte de Sol Charter

MORE INFORMATION u To view the New Mexico Environment Department’s Wastewater Drug Monitoring Dashboard, visit governor.state.nm.us/wastewater-testing. u Testing results are available at six Santa Fe high schools and several high schools in the region: Los Alamos, Pojoaque Valley, Mesa Vista, Coronado, Escalante and Pecos. Schools in Española and Taos have not yet been tested.

School, the Academy for Technology and the Classics and Mandela International Magnet School.

The Environment Department began the testing program in late 2023 to provide data to inform drug abuse prevention efforts, according to a December news.

The program was launched in response to a September order issued by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham declaring drug abuse a public health emergency. The testing program aims to reach every high school, the news release says, adding 89 schools had been tested by December.

“While these results show widespread use of illicit drugs in our high schools, they also provide us with a vital baseline to measure progress in addressing this issue,” Environment Secretary James Kenney said in a statement. “As we continue to receive results from public schools around the state, we will better understand the geographic differences in substance misuse within communities and develop strategies accordingly.”

Passengers navigate through construction at the entrance to the Santa Fe Regional Airport in August. A grand opening was pushed from January to March.

Event to celebrate expansion at airport moved to March

By Carina Julig

cjulig@sfnewmexican.com

The completion of the Santa Fe Regional Airport’s terminal expansion has been pushed back to mid-March.

A grand opening for the expanded terminal, which has faced a series of delays, was anticipated in late January. In a Tuesday email, Airport Manager James Harris said the event has been rescheduled for March and a date is still being finalized.

City Manager John Blair said the opening was pushed back because the city “wanted and needed” more time to plan.

“In addition to letting the public experience the new space, we’re hoping to use the opportunity to promote air travel in and out of Santa Fe and to encourage the two existing commercial airlines to add even more flights and routes through our

airport,” he wrote in an email.

The project broke ground in February 2022 and includes new parking lots and a first-phase expansion to the terminal.

Since then, the completion date has been pushed back several times, in large part due to the discovery of abandoned sewer lines, power lines and other underground infrastructure during construction on the new parking lots.

“The extended time is for all of the things in the parking lot we didn’t know about,” Harris told city councilors in the fall.

At its Nov. 29 meeting, the City Council approved an amendment to the contract with Bradbury Stamm Construction Inc., adding 150 days and $1.7 million to the project.

Work was about 70% complete then, according to city documents.

official withdraws support for president Colfax County party chairman says Biden’s backing of Israel, Gaza ‘genocide’ spur decision

By Maya Hilty

mhilty@sfnewmexican.com

The top-ranking Democrat in northeastern New Mexico’s Colfax County withdrew his support for President Joe Biden last week over what he said was the president’s enabling of a “genocide” in the Gaza Strip.

“I can’t be complicit in the Democratic Party of New Mexico’s efforts to reelect President Joe Biden, given the continued monetary support for the slaughter and entrapment of innocents that is much worse than anything former President [Donald] Trump did (to my knowledge),” county Democratic Will Weir Party Chairman Will Weir wrote in an email to party members.

Weir offered to step down from his position but said his decision has been well-received, and he predicted in an interview the Democratic Party will face “massive resistance” if it remains in lockstep with Biden.

The Biden administration’s support for Israel over the war in Gaza, which reached its 100th day Sunday, has divided many Democrats nationwide and in New Mexico.

As the central committee of the Democratic Party of New Mexico geared up in December to vote on a resolution that called for a cease-fire and pause to all U.S. military aid to Israel, some party leaders across the state condemned inhumane conditions in Gaza while others blasted Hamas and asserted Israel’s right to defend itself.

Hamas, Gaza’s governing body, sparked the war when its militants attacked Israel in early October, killing at least 1,200 people and taking about 240 others hostage.

Since then, Israel has killed more than 24,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The war has displaced about 90% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million and placed them at risk of widespread famine and disease, according to the United Nations.

The state Democratic Party either postponed or canceled central committee members’ vote on the cease-fire resolution, which had been proposed by committee member Samia Assed of Albuquerque, because “a complaint regarding the timeline and process of considering this proposed Resolution was filed with the DPNM Judicial Council,” party spokesman Daniel Garcia wrote in an email late last month.

The vote “may proceed” following the Judicial Council’s review of the complaint, Garcia wrote at the time.

He declined last week to provide a copy of the complaint or an estimated timeline for the review.

State Democratic Party Executive Director Sean Ward did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Weir’s withdrawal of support for Biden.

Weir, who lives outside Raton, said he acted on his own behalf, rather than on behalf of the Colfax County Democratic Party, in pulling support for Biden. He said reactions to his decision have been “overwhelmingly positive.”

Weir, 58, said he assumed the position of county chairman two years ago when he “stepped forward where nobody else would.”

Although he offered to step down, he said no one has come forward to replace him.

Federal Uvalde report expected soon UVALDE, Texas — The Justice Department is planning to release findings of an investigation into law enforcement’s response to the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 students and two teachers were killed.

The report is expected to be released Thursday. Uvalde Consolidated School District Superintendent Ashley Chohlis notified the community of the imminent report at a school board meeting Monday night.

Justice Department officials have previously said the review into one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history would focus on the law enforcement response, an usual step prompted by contradictory information from authorities at the time.

The DOJ has said the investigation would “provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and response

that day” and identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare for active shooter events.

A panel of state lawmakers found in 2022 nearly 400 officers responded to the shooting when a gunman stormed the school, but they waited over an hour to confront the attacker.

The nearly 80-page report found that “egregiously poor decision-making” led to hundreds of heavily armed officers waiting in the hallway as the gunman fired into two fourth-grade classrooms.

At least five officers have lost their jobs, including two Department of Public Safety officers and Uvalde’s school police chief, Pete Arredondo, who was the on-site commander during the attack.

The town of over 15,000 has remained divided on moving forward.

Dem official withdraws support for president Continued from Page A-8

As a result, Weir intends to continue participating in some party events but will drop any efforts to reelect Biden this year.

Weir will not support either Biden or Trump, contending both threaten democracy.

“Killing people is not democracy,” he said. “If you look at the numbers and the suffering [in Gaza] — 2 million displaced people in circumstances of starvation and, in this cold weather, with inadequate cover — I don’t know. It’s very hard to find anything that Trump did that was complicit at that level.”

The notion Democrats must support Biden to stop Trump “leaves out healthy

decision-making processes” and stifles creativity, Weir said.

“We don’t need to lose hope,” he said. “Nobody ever has to support genocide.”

Thomas Kovach, a Colfax County Democratic Party member who applauded Weir’s stance, said he hopes enough people speak out against Biden’s support for Israel that the president will change course.

“Without President Biden, [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] couldn’t go forward” with his military campaign in Gaza, Kovach said.

“Somebody needs to speak up before it’s too late,” he added.

“We could lose hundreds of thousands of people if we don’t act quickly.”

FUNERAL SERVICES AND MEMORIALS MICHELLE HERRERA MILLER

OCTOBER 4, 1970 - JANUARY 9, 2024 Albuquerque - On Tuesday, January 9, 2024, Michelle Renee Herrera Miller, wife of Todd Miller and loving stepmother of Justin Miller and Jared Miller, passed into the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ, at age 53. She fully understood the sacrifice of Jesus for her sins.

Michelle was born on October 4, 1970, in Santa Fe, NM, to Mary Helen Gonzales-Ortiz and Michael Herrera. In addition to her immediate family, she leaves behind her mother and father, stepmother Jeneane Herrera, stepfather Armando Ortiz, sisters Amanda Kathleen Ortiz, Ruth Weaver, Hannah Phillips, brothers Nathan Herrera and Jesse Herrera, and seven nieces and nephews. Michelle’s deceased maternal grandparents were Evangelina Gonzales and Salomon L. Gonzales, Jr., and her deceased paternal grandparents were Tito and MaryLou Herrera.

She received a Social Work degree from NM State University in 1994 and a Masters in Social Work from NM Highlands in 2012.

She spent most of her life working with the children and families of NM through CYFD. On May 29, 2021, she married Todd Miller, the love of her life, at a small family ceremony in Albuquerque.

Michelle’s special gift to her large family was her ability to be very present for them in every situation. Michelle loved cooking for her family, and tamales were her favorite food. She loved the process of making them with family and would not hear that any tamales were better than those made in New Mexico. Another of her loves were her two dogs, Coco and Bebe. Coloring in color books was a great stress relief for her, as was going to movies with her family.

Swimming at the gym and boxing in earlier years were some of her pastimes. Time on the beach was a highlight, and she was always dreaming of the next trip to Cancun. Her favorite performer was Pit Bull, and she realized her lifetime dream when she attended his Las Vegas concert. Poker was her game, complete with smoking cigars, and she contemplated going pro! MMA fights and boxing were other leisure distractions. She loved the beautiful things in life and delighted in going to the beauty parlor to get her hair or nails done.

Michelle’s infectious laugh made everyone around her feel warmly embraced. She could be recognized by her trademark New Mexican culture sleeve tattoos. Pink was her favorite color, and for that reason, she loved viewing sunsets from her porch as she chatted with neighbors. Michelle adored children and reveled in her nieces and nephews. Since she had no children of her own, she spent her life protecting the children of others through CYFD. Memorial services will be on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at Ascent Bible Church, 2076 Galisteo St. in Santa Fe, NM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to the New Mexico Children’s Foundation.

ROSE VIGIL Rose Vigil, 83, of Rodarte, NM, went to be with our Lord on January 8, 2024. She was born to the late Napoleon and Teodorita Martinez on August 30, 1940, in Abiquiu, NM. Rose was a faithful and dedicated member of the San Antonio de Padua Parish in Peñasco, NM. She served many years as the Mayordoma for the Santa Barbara Capilla, catechism teacher, donation counter and Carmelita. Rose was an amazing cook and was well known for her delicious biscochitos, pastelitos and enchiladas. She was a loving wife, mom, grandma, sister and friend. She was always willing to volunteer in the community and was one of the founding members of the Peñasco High Athletics Booster Club. Rose was the happiest when she had a house filled with family, friends and especially babies and children.

She was known as Grandma Rose by many. You couldn’t leave her house without enjoying a meal or home-baked goodies and you always left with a bag filled with more to enjoy at home.

Rose is preceded in death by her husband Gilbert, stepmother Josefita Martinez and sisters Teodorita Garcia and Lorraine Montoya; In-laws Jose Ortega, Lorenzo and Senaida Vigil, Longino and Sophie Vigil, Benito Vigil, Margaret Vigil, Lita Ortiz y Davis and Lorenzo Vigil Jr. Rose is survived by her daughters Pam (Corey), Yolanda (James) and Sylvia; granddaughters Anica (Ivan), Pilar (Cyrus), Sierra and Nieves; great-grandchildren Hugo and Elena; sister Bernadette Williams (Ernest), brothers-in-law, Hernando Montoya and Filimon Garcia and many nieces, nephews and friends.

“The question we need to ask is, ‘What’s next?’ ” the governor declared on the opening day of the legislative session. “That’s the question that defines the character of New Mexico — strong-minded, pioneering and creative. After all, this is the state that split the atom and won a cataclysmic war — and that is working to make whole the people and families affected by its impacts. The state that sold the first personal computer and created the modern clean room. The state that invented the breakfast burrito, the green chile cheeseburger, the Flamin’ Hot Cheeto and the Frito pie.”

Don’t tell Texas about the Frito pie, but the governor is right about the can-do spirit of New Mexico, and she is clear we need to apply that attitude to moving past the chronic problems of the state.

Better jobs, education, homelessness, a

statewide cleanup initiative — the governor has plans for all of these problems.

Now, to actually accomplishing them.

All will take money, and the dollars — even with a $3.5 billion projected surplus in the $10 billion-plus annual budget — started adding up. The governor wants $500 million in severance tax bonds to create a so-called Strategic Water Supply to transform underground brackish water for use instead of scarce potable water.

Then there’s another $170 million from the Severance Tax Permanent Fund to invest in what she calls energy sources of the future — hydrogen, geothermal and next-generation battery storage. She’s asking for another $100 million for the Rural Health Care Delivery Fund to help providers meet demand.

To relieve homelessness and expand the housing supply, the governor wants $250 million for low-interest loans to get the private sector moving and another $250 million to expand homebuying programs. The governor is treating a crisis — for everyone from people living on the streets to families unable to buy their first home — with the seriousness it deserves, although we predict

THE PAST 100 YEARS From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 17, 1924: Experts Seeking To Solve The Reclamation Puzzle Water Users From Every One of Projects Tell Troubles to Probe Commission.

Gross Under Estimates Of Cost Are Shown Jan. 17, 1949: The New Mexico Publishing Co. announced today that it had bought all the capital stock of El Nuevo Mexicano Inc. from Mrs. Florence McCormick and associates.

Under the ownership of Frank C. Rand Jr., the paper has grown in circulation, news coverage, service, advertisers and readers, and has acquired an excellent physical plant. His far-sighted work has put the paper in position to be of greater service to the community.

Jan. 17, 1974: The state legislature’s newest member today introduced a bill that would create a committee to study the effectiveness of state horse racing laws.

The bill by Rep. Kurt Lohbeck, R-Bernalillo, would establish an advisory committee composed of seven legislators and four private citizens.

increase in reading scores for kids in grades 3-8, as well as an unprecedented 5% increase in reading scores for Native American students. The Pojoaque Valley School District was singled out for praise: It has embraced the curriculum, with the governor touting double-digit gains in reading scores.

The message was clear: Use the right method, and results will come. Not just for reading, but for delivering health care, building homes, helping people off the streets and generally fixing the problems New Mexico faces. All of that led to what could be Lujan Grisham’s biggest emphasis in the short session — improving public safety by decreasing access to guns. From a ban on assault weapons to a 14-day waiting period to purchase them, she is not shying away from targeting guns as the reason New Mexico is such a violent state.

“This violence,” she said, “is horrific. It is tragic, and it is entirely preventable.”

And if something can be prevented, or be improved, the governor said she’s on the case.

The next year may tell us whether her words and ambition are backed by action and results.

cities will not like the state overseeing their zoning regulations by demanding national best-practice standards.

As is customary in a State of the State address, there were moments of bragging — the governor was able to announce Calgon Carbon Corp. is expanding to the Northwest New Mexico town of Bloomfield, investing $94 million in the process. She did so despite disruptions from climate activists and pro-Palestinian protesters whose frequent shouts drowned out her words.

With grace, the governor praised activists for their courage, despite the attacks on what has been one of her signature issues — making New Mexico a clean energy leader.

The disruptions, she said, meant, “I can talk about whatever I want now,” mostly because she had lost her place in the speech.

Eventually, she picked up the line on the teleprompter and returned to the speech, while protesters were escorted out with “kindness,” the governor stressed, adapting to the moment.

She also pushed what she said were initial successes of her Structured Literacy curriculum. The governor pointed to a 4% statewide

he world is on fire, and President Joe Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin went AWOL. The most troubling thing was Biden didn’t know about it and Austin’s deputy, Kathleen Hicks, who assumes his responsibilities, was on vacation. Austin’s chief of staff had the flu, and Biden was on vacation in St. Croix.

There is plenty of blame to go around for the secrecy and incompetence. Even though Austin assumed responsibility for not telling anybody about his hospitalization, Biden won’t hold Austin or anybody else accountable.

The prevailing excuse buzz phrases, “do better,” “lessons learned,” “we will make sure this doesn’t happen again” and “going forward” do not lessen the severity of Austin’s dereliction of duty.

Now the White House chief of staff Jeffrey Zients is pretending to be serious by demanding, in the future, all Cabinet members tell the White House when there is a delegation of authority.

What a comedy of errors. What might even be more troubling is the mainstream media is reporting this story as a minor case of miscommunication. We have an incompetent administration, we don’t have a secretary of defense, we don’t have a border and we don’t have a functioning president.

Show up My thanks to Jack Hicks for his enlightening piece, (“Can we avoid a 2-tiered society?” My View, Jan. 13). To my mind, what’s so funny, or sad really, is the Republicans will have to live in this country with all of the destruction they have achieved under their conservative agenda.

What’s so good is that because the Republicans have worked so hard to destroy America, we Democrats might become so angry, so motivated, that we just might put all of our progressive brains to task on stamping out Republicans in government once and for all. Of course, being Democrats, that may not happen at all.

We might just stay home on voting day in November.

So why are we spending billions on other energy supplies, even wind, when for the money we could supply solar panels and batteries for every occupied building? Simply because solar on every building would end a reliance on pipes and wires, which are easily monitored to provide tons of continual cash to the providers.

Solar is efficient in every climate, no matter what some folks are anxious to tell you. Norway has become a leading solar energy nation. New Mexico could be a leader in supplying this need.

I want to extend my gratitude to Lydia at the library for being so accommodating and welcoming to our Firebird families. In addition to the La Farge library, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, New Mexico Museum of Art and the Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary provided hands-on and take-home activities for students and their families.

This event was a true symbol of community. The school had over 100 participants. Families enjoyed reading together, crafting together and topped off the night with pizza and door prizes.

Chaparral is a school where everyone knows your name and where we tell our kids that we love them and care about them every day.

LANL needs solar The irony of Los Alamos National Laboratory’s request to tear up miles of a national forest and other lands for an additional power line is incredible. Why are the hundreds of scientists and engineers employed at the lab not creating their own power using solar, wind and nuclear energy?

Perhaps they need a private entity to teach them how to do it in the time remaining before they need it in 2027?

Continuing to destroy the natural world in the name of national security is just plain wrong.

n the day in 1968 when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot, he was in Memphis, Tenn., to show support for striking sanitation workers. By then, he had come to see fighting for economic equality as a crucial part of the struggle for civil rights.

Unfortunately, there was little progress on that front for the next half-century. By many measures, the economic divide between Black and white Americans was as wide in the late 2010s as it was in the late 1960s.

The good news: Over the past few years, we’ve seen a significant decline in inequality on multiple dimensions, including a narrowing of the gap between Black and white Americans.

Did the racial economic gap persist so long because the civil rights movement failed to make any progress against racism and discrimination? No. Overt racial discrimination has become relatively rare — partly because of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — and implicit discrimination has probably declined, because we are a less racist society than we were.

OK, I’m sure I’ll get some grief over that assertion. Of course, racism hasn’t gone away; it’s still far more pervasive than white Americans can easily appreciate. But we were incredibly racist in the past. To take one gauge, as late as the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, only around onethird of white Americans approved of interracial marriage; today almost everyone approves — or at least claims to.

So why didn’t Black Americans make relative progress?

Probably because the benefits of reduced discrimination were offset by an increase in overall income inequality, in particular a widening gap between wages in relatively low-paid jobs and wages for the highly paid. Since Black workers remained underrepresented in well-paying jobs, the growing polarization of economic opportunity snatched away many of the gains one might have expected from a society that, again, was still racist but not as racist as before.

Which brings us to the surprising progress of the past few years.

Whenever I write about the good economic news of 2023, our remarkable success in sharply reducing inflation without a surge in unemployment, I get two kinds of pushback. Most comes from Republicans, three-quarters of whom say that it was a bad or terrible year for the country, even though almost 70% of them say that it was OK or better for them personally. But I also get pushback from some on the left, who insist that our so-called recovery helped only the rich and did nothing for ordinary families.

This is completely wrong.

I’ve written about work by David Autor, Arindrajit Dube and Annie McGrew showing the post-COVID economic recovery has produced especially large wage gains at the lower portion of the scale, compressing the wage distribution. Wages in America are still highly unequal but not as unequal as they were just a few years ago. In fact, they found, we’ve reversed almost 40% of the rise in one key measure of inequality that took place during the great income divergence from 1979 to 2019. And because lower overall inequality disproportionately helps Black Americans, one effect has been a “historic reduction in racial wage disparities,” Dube posted on social media.

Why did wage inequality fall? A number of states increased their minimum wages. Unions won some victories, and fear of unionization may have pushed some employers to increase pay. The main factor, however, was surely a tight labor market: Full employment greatly increases workers’ bargaining power.

Full employment also did wonders for another aspect of racial disparities: high Black unemployment. Last hired, first fired is still a very real fact of race relations in America; one measure of our success in finally achieving something like full employment is that the gap between Black and white unemployment rates is the smallest it has been since the government started collecting data on the subject.

There are many things we still need to do to fulfill King’s vision, and some of them will be hard. But one thing that should be relatively easy is providing an economy in which Americans who are willing to work — which means a great majority of adults — can find jobs.

PHILADELPHIA — Jason Kelce stood on the sideline in tears as the final seconds ticked off in his likely final NFL game.

Kelce embraced his long-time offensive line coach. He removed his helmet once the game ended — a Philadelphia Eagles loss that completed a harrowing season-ending collapse — and extended his hand to his wife and his father in the stands.

What Kelce knew then — what the gregarious center couldn’t bring himself to say when he declined to speak to the media in the aftermath of the defeat — was that his football career was over.

The 36-year-old Kelce has wavered on retirement over the last few seasons. Coach Nick Sirianni added to Kelce’s lore by shipping a keg of beer to the

center’s home to entice him to return in 2022.

He has been the heart of the Eagles, a hero on the Philadelphia sports scene, a Super Bowl champion. But after 13 seasons, 156 straight starts and six All-Pro Team selections, Kelce has told teammates he intends to retire, three people informed of the decision told The Associated Press.

They spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Tuesday out of respect for Kelce’s decision, which he has not yet made public.

“The goat!!!. Appreciate ya big time,” Eagles cornerback Darius Slay Jr. wrote on social media.

eing good at the halfway point of the NBA season guarantees absolutely nothing. Take last year for example, when only three of the top 11 teams at halftime of the season would go on to win a playoff series and another three of those teams missed the postseason entirely.

Yes, a lot can — and will — change between now and April.

That said, there are some surprises as this season hits halftime, none bigger than the success stories being crafted in Minnesota and Oklahoma City. They’ve basically been atop the Western Conference since around Thanksgiving, with win totals on pace to smash the preseason expectations put forth by oddsmakers.

Many of the expected contenders indeed look like contenders: Boston has the best record in the NBA, defending champion Denver has been predictably excellent, Milwaukee and Philadelphia are near the top of the East and the Los Angeles Clippers have a better record than anybody over the last six weeks or so. No surprises there. But the Timberwolves and the Thunder have clearly raised some eyebrows.

“They take the challenge, and they like to guard, particularly against these heavyweight teams,” Minnesota coach Chris Finch said of his club. “A lot of our young guys are still proving that they can be just as good in a lot of ways and win that battle. We talk about winning that battle with the guy in front of you all the time and they take pride in that.”

It’s pretty safe to assume that either Finch or Oklahoma City’s Mark Daigneault will be spending All-Star weekend in Indianapolis as coach of the Western Conference. That task goes to the coach with the best record two weeks before the All-Star Game (which makes this year’s cutoff date Feb. 4) and last year’s coaches are ineligible — which means Denver’s Michael Malone is assured of having that weekend off.

So is Boston’s Joe Mazzulla, meaning it’s almost certain that either Philadelphia’s Nick Nurse or Milwaukee’s Adrian Please see story on Page B-3

ALBUQUERQUE o one is safe in a Mountain West race that looks deeper than ever before.

Playing its second straight home game against a ranked opponent in The Pit, the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team made it 2-for-2 with a 99-86 win Tuesday night against No. 16 Utah State.

With tipoff pushed back until 8:45 p.m., a crowd of 13,106 filed in to see the Lobos (15-3, 3-2) snap the country’s longest active winning streak and halt a seven-game skid to the Aggies (16-2, 4-1).

What they also saw was the Nelly Junior Joseph Lobos fans had been waiting months to see. The 6-foot-10 Nigerian transfer from Iona had his best

game in a New Mexico uniform, sinking 11 of his 12 shots (and all four free throws) to finish with 26 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots.

“My game was just simple,” he said. “The guys just kept passing me the ball in the post, and I have to do what I have to do. They kept on believing in me.”

Paired with Utah State’s celebrated big man, 6-8 power forward Great Osobor, Joseph finally looked like the player he was at Iona. Playing with intensity at both ends, he defended the rim with reckless abandon against a team that has made a living this season scoring most of its points in the low post.

Even Joseph had a hard time explaining where the extra pep in his step came from.

The two big men helped drive the

Bruins’ unprecedented run of seven straight NCAA championships (196773) along with impacting the history of the Associated Press men’s college basketball poll.

As the AP marks the 75th anniversary of the poll this month, the 7-foot-2 Abdul-Jabbar — then known as Lew Alcindor — and the 6-foot-11 Walton were on teams that combined to spend 81 weeks ranked No. 1. That included four wire-to-wire runs, first with Abdul-Jabbar (1966-67 and 1968-69)

and then Walton (1971-72 and 1972-73).

Each was a two-time pick as AP national player of the year and threetime AP first-team All-Americans, and combined to be named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player five times.

They were not, of course, the only players to have a major impact on the rankings.

AUS TR ALIAN OPE N

The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — The extra-day experiment for the first round finished on time on the Australian Open’s two main courts, with Jessica Pegula converting her second match point just before midnight to conclude the program on Tuesday.

In a bid to reduce the number of late finishes, organizers extended the Australian Open to 15 days — one more than usual.

It started on a Sunday for the first time, and spread the first round over three days.

It didn’t prevent Days 1 or 2 going well past midnight.

But Elena Rybakina and Carlos Alcaraz advanced in straight sets in night matches on Rod Laver Arena on Day 3, and Pegula finished off the Margaret Court Arena program to make showcourt deadline by 10 minutes.

Wimbledon champion Alcaraz’s 7-6 (5), 6-1, 6-2 win over 37-year-old Richard Gasquet and Olympic champion Alexander Zverev ’s 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-3 victory over Dominik Koepfer meant a record 30 seeds advanced to the men’s second round.

Sumit Nagal prevented it from being 31. He became the first Indian male to beat a seeded player at a Grand Slam event since 1989 with a 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (5) triumph over No. 31 Alexander Bublik.

“The tour has great players,

a lot of them that can beat anyone,” Alcaraz said. “So I think it’s really, really open. But, 30 from 32, I think they deserve it.”

His opinion on the three-day first-round format?

“It’s better for the players ... better for everyone,” the 20-yearold Alcaraz said. “For the crowd to have more days to have matches, for the tournament as well.”

The fifth-seeded Pegula started her day watching TV coverage of the Buffalo Bills beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-17 in an AFC wild-card playoff.

She finished it by beating Canadian qualifier Rebecca Marino 6-2, 6-4, and acknowledged some Buffalo fans in the crowd holding up “Billieve” signs.

“I see some Bills fans over there. It was on at 8:30 this morning,” she said in a postmatch TV interview. “I’m happy I could finish the day with a win.

It was a good day for Buffalo!”

The only match still in progress after hers finished just after midnight, with local hope Ajla Tomljanovic recovering a break in the third set to beat Petra Martic 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-4 in almost three hours.

Top-ranked Iga Swiatek survived an early test in her bid for a fifth major title when she held off 2020 champion Sofia Kenin 7-6 (2), 6-2 in the opener on Rod Laver Arena.

Kenin served for the first set at 5-4 but could not close it out.

Swiatek rallied to take it in a

Carlos Alcaraz of Spain plays a backhand return to Richard Gasquet of France during their first-round match at the Australian Open on Tuesday in Melbourne, Australia.

tiebreaker and then broke serve five games later.

“It wasn’t easy to find my rhythm. I felt a little bit off and Sofia did everything to keep it that way, huge respect to her,” Swiatek said. “I managed to get my level up in the second set.”

Swiatek faces another ex-Australian Open finalist next.

Danielle Collins, runner-up here two years ago, beat 2016 champion Angelique Kerber 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.

“A tough little bracket that we have,” Collins said. “I was like, ‘Wow, I get really great draws now.’ But if you’re trying to win a Grand Slam, you have to beat everyone.”

Kerber was one of three past champions making their returns to Melbourne Park for the first time as mothers. She joined fourtime major winner Naomi Osaka as a first-round exit. Caroline Wozniacki, the 2018 winner, has reached the second round.

lend Joseph a hand.

“It certainly helped that Nelly was able to score down there,” Pitino said. “He hasn’t obviously shown an 11-for-12 night, so I think that gave us some great confidence to have some balance. We’ve got to remember he came here at the end of October, so he’s getting his rhythm. He’s a really, really good player.”

Six Lobos finished in double figures, including a double-double from point guard Donovan Dent. He had 15 points and 14 rebounds, continuously finding seams in the Aggies’ defense to hit layups in the half-court set.

UNM trailed for only 27 seconds all night, using a wildly efficient offense to open a 55-39 lead at halftime. The Lobos never had a run of more than 6-0 at any point in the game and were a remarkable 34-for-49 from inside the 3-point line.

Behind it all was the play of Joseph and forward J.T. Toppin. Toppin had 12 points, five rebounds and a blocked shot.

“I think their bigs punked us,” said Utah State coach Danny Sprinkle.

The lead ballooned to 64-44 early in the second half. Utah State’s Ian Martinez sparked a run as the Aggies eventually got within seven points before a late Lobos surge put the game out of reach.

Much like their recent win at UNLV, Utah State used a zone defense to try to throw the Lobos off course. Pitino said he felt his club attacked it well enough, as evidenced by the offense shooting 57% for the game and only turning over seven times in a game where the offensive pace was as high as it’s been all year.

“I think we’re certainly better offensively than what we’ve been, and obviously to put

ina advanced 7-6 (6), 6-4 over former No. 1-ranked Karolina Pliskova.

Victoria Azarenka, who won back-to-back titles here in 2012 and 2013, won a hard-hitting contest with Camila Giorgi of Italy 6-1, 4-6, 6-3.

Sloane Stephens picked up her first victory at the Australian Open since 2019, beating wildcard entry Olivia Gadecki 6-3, 6-1.

Among the other men advancing, 11th-seeded Casper Ruud beat Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-1, 6-3, 6-1, No. 13 Grigor Dimitrov overcame Marton Fucsovics 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (1), 6-2 and Cameron Norrie defeated Juan Pablo Varillas 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.

There were some player complaints about the relaxing of rules that now allow fans to enter and exit arenas after every game, rather than just at the changeovers. But everyone has been warned now. Meanwhile, opinion is divided on the twolevel bar beside Court 6.

Regardless, the second round will get underway Wednesday.

up 99 in a league game is pretty good,” Pitino said.

It only took five games to have every team in the Mountain West lose its first game.

Utah State and Boise State were the last of the unbeatens until Tuesday, each falling to leave the top eight teams in the league within a game of one another in the loss column.

The Lobos now head out on the road for consecutive games against Air Force and San Jose State, two teams whose home attendance lags at the bottom of the Mountain West. Going from an environment where more than 28,500 fans showed up for the last two home games to a pair of arenas where most of the noise comes from the players on the court, finding a way to maintain the momentum is on UNM’s shoulders.

“We’re going to have to bring our own energy because we’re fortunate to play in front of some amazing fans, some amazing crowds,” Pitino said. “It’ll be a different type of element and our guys will have to be ready to go.”

NOTES Now it’s a race: UNLV (9-7, 2-2) picked up a huge road win Tuesday night, beating Boise State 68-64 in ExtraMile Arena. Boise (12-5, 3-1) was the first MWC team to get a marquee road win last week when the Broncos won at Nevada (15-2, 2-1), but losing at home to a team like UNLV neutralizes it for the rest of the Mountain West.

Colorado State (14-3, 2-2) nearly lost its first home game, too. The Rams scored four points in the final 20 seconds to force overtime against visiting Air Force, then outscored the Falcons 14-5 in OT to escape with the win.

Thunder and Wolves should be feeling great Continued from Page B-1

Griffin will be heading to Indy to coach the East.

The Thunder have been building for their future for years, stockpiling draft picks like squirrels do with acorns entering the winter months. Thing is, the future might really be starting now: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a bona fide star, Chet Holmgren is a legitimate threat to Victor Wembanyama’s rookie of the year candidacy and Oklahoma City has a starting lineup where everybody is 25 or younger.

There are 15 active players in the league with more points than the entire Thunder starting lineup does combined. LeBron James is about 24,000 points ahead of OKC’s first five.

But here they are, and they look like a problem.

“I think there is an uncommon maturity about them,” Daigneault said. “And as I’ve said before, a lot of it is who they are as people, and I think a lot of them had that walking through the door. And then it gains momentum when there are like-minded people together and they bounce off each other in that way.”

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards celebrates after making a 3-point basket during the second half of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers in Minneapolis.

The Wolves had 66-1 odds to win an NBA title entering the season. The Thunder, 100-1. The odds have moved considerably since; FanDuel Sportsbook had Minnesota at 21-1 on Monday, Oklahoma City at 18-1. They both have shorter odds now than the Los Angeles Lakers (29-1), Dallas (32-1), Miami (36-1) and Golden State (50-1). That wasn’t the case when this season began.

Alcaraz’s win makes it record 30 seeds in men’s second round

the season and the Lakers have really struggled since winning the in-season tournament.

If OKC and Minnesota (along with teams like Indiana and Houston) are on the good-surprise list, the Lakers and Warriors are on the opposite side of the ledger.

Count the Lakers and Warriors out at your own peril. But overlooking what the Thunder and Wolves have done so far

would be equally perilous.

It was brutally cold in Oklahoma City this weekend. The Thunder played Orlando at home on Saturday, air temperature of around 10 degrees at game time, the wind making it feel like it was about 10 below.

Put it this way: nobody drove to the Thunder game that night with their windows down.

When they do, that’s when Sam Presti will be happy. The Thunder general manager laid out his vision before the season started and he pointed out that if fans are driving to games with the Oklahoma wind in their hair, that means the weather is good, which probably means spring has sprung. Barring a collapse, the Thunder will be playing in late April, maybe May, maybe even June.

“It’s a long process,” Presti said as camp was beginning a few months ago. “It requires a lot of discipline, and there’s no promises.”

Correct. Nothing has been clinched yet. But it’s halftime of the NBA season, and the Wolves and Thunder should be feeling as good as anyone in the league right now.

Arizona hired San Jose State’s Brent Brennan to be the Wildcats’ next head coach on Tuesday, replacing Jedd Fisch about 48 hours after he left for Washington.

Brennan, 50, agreed to a fiveyear contract with Arizona, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the school did not immediately release terms of the deal.

“Brent is an exceptional leader with a background of championship success on the field, on the recruiting trail, and as leader in the community,” Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke said in a statement.

“With strong connections to the Tucson community and an appreciation for the rich legacy of our program under legendary head coach Dick Tomey, Brent’s vision to continue the upward trajectory of Arizona football is rooted in the historical excellence of the program.”

Brennan to Arizona is the latest domino to fall in college football coaching since Nick Saban announced his retirement at Alabama.

Washington’s Kalen DeBoer was hired to replace Saban on Friday, Fisch replaced DeBoer two days later and Arizona hired Brennan two days after that.

Brennan was a candidate for the Arizona job when the school hired Fisch after the 2020 season. Fisch went 16-21 in three season, with the Wildcats record improving each season. Arizona went 10-3 this past season and finished No. 11

in the nation, its best season since 2014.

He spent the past seven seasons at San Jose State, Brent Brennan leading the Spartans to three bowl games in the last four seasons, including the 2020 Arizona Bowl in Tucson.

He went 34-48 at San Jose State, a program that has struggled to sustain success during its time in the Mountain West Conference.

“This incredible university is special to my family and I as it’s where I started as a coach as part of coach Tomey’s legacy,” Brennan said in a statement. “I can’t wait to meet the players, families, fans, alumni and supporters and build on the success the players and staff have started.”

Brennan is the first coach to lead San Jose State to three bowl games and was an assistant at the school. He also had stints as an assistant coach at Oregon State and Cal Poly and was a graduate assistant at Arizona under Tomey in 2000.

Brennan also was an assistant under Tomey at San Jose State from 2005-09.

“We want to thank Brent Brennan for his 13 years of service to San José State,” athletic director Jeff Konya said. “He’s left an indelible mark on the football program and the university. We wish him and his family nothing but the best moving forward. We will conduct a national search for a new head football coach effective immediately.”

ON THE BACKS OF GIANTS Continued from Page B-1

NCAA titles in 1955 and 1956, leading them to the No. 1 ranking for five weeks in the first season and then a wire-to-wire stay at No. 1 in the second.

WILT CHAMBERLAIN, KANSAS The 7-1 center was a force in his two college seasons, the first ending with a triple-overtime loss to North Carolina in the 1957 NCAA title game.

Chamberlain’s Jayhawks were ranked No. 1 or No. 2 for every week of the 1956-57 season, then spent the next season inside the top 10.

OSCAR ROBERTSON, CINCINNATI The Bearcats were ranked No. 7 or better for every poll but one with the 6-5 guard and three-time AP All-American.

Cincinnati spent two weeks at the top in the 1958-59 season then was a wire-to-wire No. 1 in 1959-60.

ELVIN HAYES, HOUSTON The 6-9 center put up big numbers in a career that included being AP national player of the year over Alcindor in 1968. The NCAA Tournament’s No. 2 all-time scorer helped the Cougars spend the 1966-67 season inside the top 10 and then stay at No. 1 or No. 2 throughout 1967-68.

LARRY BIRD, INDIANA STATE The 6-9 forward was AP national player of the year in 1979, the season that ended with the famed matchup with Magic Johnson and Michigan State in the NCAA title game.

Bird’s Sycamores spent 16 weeks in the top 10 in his three-year career, including four weeks at No. 1, but hasn’t been ranked before or since.

RALPH SAMPSON, VIRGINIA The 7-4 center was a threetime AP national player of the year who singlehandedly made the Cavaliers a power in the early 1980s.

Virginia spent Sampson’s last three seasons entirely in the top 10, including 12 weeks at No. 1.

PATRICK EWING, GEORGETOWN The 7-footer was the center of an incredible four-year run that included the 1984 NCAA title and two other trips to the title game.

The three-time AP first-team All-American and 1985 national player of the year helped the Hoyas remain inside the top 10 in his last two seasons, with 12 weeks at No. 1 in 1985.

DAN ISSEL, KENTUCKY The 6-9 Issel remains the storied program’s all-time scoring and rebounding leader. The Wildcats — named the No. 1 all-time team in AP poll history — remained a top-10 team for all 45 polls of his three-year career, including six weeks at No. 1 and every week in the top 3 for the 1969-70 season.

CHRISTIAN LAETTNER, DUKE The 6-11 center led the Blue Devils to their first two NCAA titles under Mike Krzyzewski (1991 and 1992) while reaching four Final Fours — two of those secured on his own last-second jumper. He closed his career as AP national player of the year and the NCAA Tournament’s all-time scoring leader with a team that was a wire-to-wire No. 1 in 1991-92, and Duke rarely fell out of the top 10 in his career.

DAVID THOMPSON, NORTH CAROLINA STATE The 6-4 athletic guard nicknamed “Skywalker” was a two-time AP national player of the year who led the Wolfpack to the 1974 NCAA title, ending the Bruins’ title run. N.C. State remained inside the top 10 for all three years of Thompson’s career, including 12 weeks at No. 1. The program has been No. 1 for one other week (January 1959) in its history.

TYLER HANSBROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA The 6-9 forward was a fourtime AP All-American (twice on the first team) and 2008 national player of the year who won the 2009 NCAA title and owns the Atlantic Coast Conference’s career scoring record (2,872).

His teams spent his last three seasons inside the top 10, the last two inside the top 5 and 24 weeks at No. 1.

in large part to dominant wins over contenders such as Dallas and Philadelphia.

“You have to build the team back up again, and it feels like just yesterday we were doing that and you blink and we’re here,” Warner said. “It’s the start of the playoffs with an opportunity to do something special. I think that’s what the scars are for. You remember those moments. How can I not give my all to this?”

The Niners have been agonizingly close in recent years.

They were the No. 1 seed in the NFC in 2019 and rolled into the Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

But a 20-10 lead in the fourth quarter turned into a 31-20 loss as the defense gave up too many big plays and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo faltered down the stretch.

After missing the playoffs in an injury-filled 2020 season, the 49ers returned in 2021 and made it back to the NFC title game where they held a 17-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

A dropped interception by Jaquiski Tartt helped the Rams rally to a 20-17 win.

San Francisco then went into last year’s title game on a 12-game winning streak and full of confidence that was shattered as soon as Purdy’s elbow got hurt on the opening drive.

Fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson came in and tried to keep the game close but then left with a concussion, forcing the Niners to play most of the second half of a 31-7 loss without a functioning quarterback.

49ers use the scars from recent playoff losses as fuel this season SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The pain from crushing playoff losses never fully goes away for the San Francisco 49ers.

A blown 10-point lead in the fourth quarter of a Super Bowl. Another double-digit, fourth-quarter lead squandered in an NFC championship game thanks in part to a dropped interception.

Then a NFC title game when the Niners never really had a chance thanks to an elbow injury on the first drive to quarterback Brock Purdy.

Those moments serve as fuel as the 49ers gear up for another playoff run starting on Saturday night when they host the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round.

“You always remember those moments,” All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner said. “It’s important during those times like last year in Philly and you see the confetti coming down, you see them with their hats and T-shirts on the stage, they’re happy, and you’re standing there watching it all happen. I can put myself right back there in this moment. The part that sucks is you can’t just blink and you’re right back into having an opportunity to go back and do it again.”

The 49ers (12-5) came into the season talking about returning to this stage and finally getting over the hump to deliver the franchise its sixth Super Bowl title but first since the 1994 season.

With a strong season from Purdy and a high-powered offense and the usual swarming defense, San Francisco earned the top seed in the NFC thanks

Mahomes vs. Allen heads to Buffalo Continued from Page B-1

More immemorable was the heart-wrenching 42-36 overtime loss in the divisional round a year later in a game dubbed “13 Seconds” by Bills fans.

That’s how much time was left in regulation for the Chiefs to gain 44 yards on two plays and set up Harrison Butker’s game-tying 49-yard field goal. Kansas City won the coin toss and scored on its opening possession, which led directly to the NFL changing its playoff rules in now allowing the coin-toss loser one possession to tie the game if scored upon.

So nightmarish was the outcome, Bills coach Sean McDermott, to this day, refuses to reveal what went wrong in the team’s decision to kickoff into the end zone — rather than bounce it short — after Gabe Davis scored his fourth touchdown to put the Bills ahead.

This season, Buffalo earned the right to host the game with a 20-17 win at Kansas City on Dec. 10, which sparked the Bills fivegame winning streak to close the season and clinch their fourth straight AFC East title.

The Bills, however, know all too well to be careful what they wish for in knowing the task of beating the Chiefs won’t be easy after splitting their previous six meetings, including playoffs, since 2020 “We’ve had our battles over the years and this will be another one. I mean, you watch what they did the other night. They were dominant,” McDermott said, referring to the Chiefs’ playoff-opening 26-7 win over Miami on Saturday. “So we gotta get our rest and try and get a little bit healthier, if we can, and then, and get ourselves ready to go again.”

Complicating matters further are the Bills are playing on an even shorter week after their playoff opener was moved from Sunday to Monday because of a lake-effect storm hit-

ting the region. With another storm set to hit Buffalo on Tuesday night, there’s concern the Bills may not be able to travel to their facility for practice on Wednesday.

Injuries are an even bigger issue. Buffalo closed the game against Pittsburgh with a patchwork defense after starting linebacker Terrel Bernard (right ankle), backup linebacker Baylon Spector (back), starting cornerback Christian Benford (knee) and starting nickelback Taron Johnson (concussion) were hurt. This is a defense that began the game without starting cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) and starting linebacker Tyrel Dodson (calf).

The onus will be on Allen to relieve the burden, as he did against the Steelers with a no-turnover, four-touchdown outing that included an electrifying 52-yard run, the longest in franchise playoff history.

Allen is counting on “Bills Mafia” to make a difference.

Jason Kelce intends to retire after 13 seasons Continued from Page B-1

with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift — was expected to drop.

The brothers played each other last season in the Super Bowl that was won by the Chiefs.

“I love him. Yeah, obviously we’re not there at that position yet, ready to talk about that, but he’s special and I love him,” Sirianni said after a 32-9 loss to Tampa Bay. “He’s one of the most special guys I’ve been around.

He’s always got a place here and always want him to play.”

The burly, bushy-haired and bearded Kelce has been a stalwart of the offensive line since he was a sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft out of Cincinnati. He turned into an Iron Man after he missed most of the 2012 season with a partially torn MCL and torn ACL. Kelce’s credentials go far beyond football. He’s a podcast co-host. He was the subject of the Kelce documentary. Heck, Kelce was even named one of People magazine’s Sexiest Men for 2023, alongside Timothée Chalamet and Jamie Foxx.

Kelce is a beloved Philly personality that has done everything from belting out holiday

hits on a pair of Christmas albums and playing celebrity bartender on the beach. Kelce performed the national anthem at a 76ers game and partied with the Phanatic while he pounded a beer to a roaring ovation at a Phillies postseason game.

But the moment that endeared him for life to the Philly faithful came at the Super Bowl parade in 2018 when he dressed as one of Philadelphia’s famed Mummers, and the ultimate underdog deliv-

ered a fiery, profane speech that whipped the crowd into a frenzy.

“No one likes us! No one likes us! No one likes us! We don’t care,” Kelce exclaimed. “We’re from Philly! [Expletive] Philly.

No one likes us! We don’t care!”

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts called Kelce a legend.

“He’s a legend in the city.

Really in the league,” Hurts said.

“I don’t want to do a disservice to him and the things he’s been able to do and overcome. His

journey to where he is now didn’t come easy. It’s been a long, long time coming for him, and every year since I’ve been here it’s been, are you going to come back? But he knows how much I love and appreciate him. He knows how much I’ve learned from him. He’ll forever have a special place in my heart.”

Kelce was part of Philadelphia’s core four of stars that have experienced droughts and championship runs, multiple coaches and one of the worst collapses in the city’s sports history. Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham are the lone holdovers from former coach Andy Reid’s last season with the Eagles in 2012. Lane Johnson completes the four veteran anchors and was a rookie in former coach Chip Kelly’s first season in 2013.

They won a Super Bowl under former coach Doug Pederson and won just four games in 2020.

They’ve played hurt and set records. They’ve also raised the standard on what it means to be an Eagles player.

The Core Four is no more.

Kelce is the first to call it quits.

“The fact that he’s done it for so long so consistently at a very high level, man, it’s a special thing,” Sirianni said.

This lightly sweetened carrot bread is a treat with coffee and a perfect pairing for soups and stews Mariann ne Sundquisst High Desertt Table

T

he last few weeks, I’ve had a hankering to bake. I have to admit, one of my favorite things is when the kids come bounding down the stairs to find out what smells so good. But also, after the holidays, I am thinking about cooking with less sugar.

And so I started thinking about quick breads like zucchini and banana loaves.

And then I thought about carrot cake and how wonderful it is. Then I thought about cornbread and how it pairs beautifully with savory meats and stews.

And somewhere in the midst of all this thinking, an idea began to form. A natural workhorse for breakfast, tea, coffee and dessert times, this High Desert Carrot Bread bakes like a quick bread while moonlighting as a cornbread.

While it’s lightly sweetened with brown sugar, it still retains enough of a savory quality to make it a perfect pairing for soups and stews. I ate my first slice with a fork like it was a piece of cake. My husband smeared butter on his and picked it up like a piece of cornbread. My 6-year-old preferred to pick little bits off the loaf before happily snacking on a slice. The moral of the story? Eat this however you want.

One of the most surprising outcomes of this recipe is the top crust of the bread. For some miraculous reason, it tastes like a cookie-crumble top, per-

This High Desert Carrot Bread features a cookie-crumble-like top that is perfectly crunchy and delightful.

fectly crunchy and delightful.

I want you to feel encouraged to try this as it is or to add dried fruits and/or nuts. I thought many times about adding pecans or piñon nuts. I also thought about adding raisins or diced dried apricots or even dried cherries. I also kept being drawn to the idea of adding minced sage. In the end, I decided to keep it simple. If you do add fruit and/ or nuts, lightly toss them in a tablespoon of the dry flour mixture so when you add them to the batter right before

pouring it into the loaf pan, they have a better chance of evenly distributed throughout the bake.

HIGH DESERT CARROT BREAD Makes: 1 loaf, 8-10 servings; total time: 1½ hours 2 cups grated carrots 3 large eggs 1 cup olive oil 1 cup packed brown sugar ½ cup plain Greek yogurt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1½ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup masa harina

1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice blend Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter the inside of a loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Stir together the carrots, eggs, olive oil, brown sugar, Greek yogurt and vanilla in a medium bowl.

wooden ceiling with vigas. A long bar spans the full length of the space, which bottoms out in a small stage space for live music.

The menu here is expansive, with options including traditional bar appetizers, pizzas, soups, salads, sandwiches, tacos and enchiladas. But I was here for the burgers: specifically, the Mad Chile Burger upgraded with New Mexican wagyu beef, which comes topped with hot chopped green chile and a fried Hatch chile as well as chipotle Dijonnaise and aged cheddar.

Along with a side of crispy fries, the dish came with a huge, mild, breaded and deep-fried pepper that’s indulgently satisfying and absolutely unforgettable.

The kids split their own burger and sipped some tart and refreshing housemade lemonade, while my husband had a plate of perfectly fried fish and chips. By the time we left, the place was packed with a mix of friends,

couples and families with small kids — clearly a destination spot for locals and travelers alike.

We capped off our visit with a stop at Jezebel Gallery (2860 N.M. 14, jezebelgallery. com/pages/soda-fountain), a bustling art and gift space that also houses a soda fountain and cafe in back, complete with a small diner-style counter and a few swivel stools. There’s ice cream and gelato, Starbucks drinks and tea, and a food menu that includes breakfast burritos, burgers, wraps, Frito pies, soups and salads. We ordered classic sodas made with soda water and syrup over ice; there are also phosphate sodas (with the added tang of acid phosphate), egg creams, and ice cream sodas and floats. No soda fountain is complete without shakes and malts, and next time I’ll try one of the ones with a New Mexico twist: red chile and chocolate or green chile and caramel.

Sadly, one of my main draws to Madrid was closed the day we visited: Shugarman’s Little Shop (2842 N.M. 14, shugarmanschocolate.com), where noted Baltimore restaurateur turned chocolatier Harvey Shugarman crafts handmade bark chocolate and turtles.

That just gave us an excuse to return a week later, on a quiet, muddy, post-snow Saturday. The kids and I all but pressed our

faces to the glass inside this tiny, colorful shop, where shelves displayed thin, gorgeous shards of white, milk and dark chocolate.

After a generous tasting of samples, we took home an assortment: white chocolate with hibiscus flowers, lemon and pieces of ginger; dark chocolate dusted with tart raspberry; and milk chocolate varieties swirled with peanut butter, studded with pecans and sprinkles of sugar and salt, and topped with mint chips.

There’s something about these creative chocolates (each as good as they looked) that reminded me of Madrid itself: a little bit of off-beat, unexpected magic.

After another stop at Java Junction for lattes and steamers, we took the quick jaunt back to Santa Fe with a whole new set of experiences under our belts. The new year brings a chance for new discoveries, and I’m so glad I made Madrid my first — and second.

SHEINWOLD’S BRIDGE

THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN

D EA R A N N I E

Sibling wants to reconnect with family Dear Annie: How do I deal with passive-aggressive siblings? When we are together, it can be all laughter and giggles, and the next minute all I hear are snarky comments. It took months to find out one sibling had purchased a new and expensive car. Then the talk was how to sell the old reliable model without asking my opinion.

We all have social media accounts, though I have yet to see any of them post on my page. I have hobbies, and they do not; we all do volunteer work, yet there is seldom a conversation about it. I am reluctant to reach out fearing I might catch one of them on an “aggressive” day and be shut out. If I ask for household repair help, I am looked on as weak or ignored altogether.

We are getting older, and I am at my wits’ end at trying to have a healthy relationship.

How do I reconnect with my siblings?

— Torn Dear Torn: Now that you know the pattern of their behavior, you know what to expect. When you are having good times with your siblings, focus on feeling grateful for the good times. At the same time, manage your expectations of them, and know that the aggressive parts will come.

While things are good between you and your siblings, you can also let them know how much you are enjoying your time with them and how much you dislike the aggressive times. Communication and gratitude and good expectation management are three ingredients to happy and healthy relationships.

Dear Annie: I have always wanted to meet a man and be married. I am now 58 years old. Is it too late for me?

Some people say it is a choice, but I have not found anyone interesting, and during Covid I have been isolated. So I plan on getting out and meeting people now that it is safe.

I want a social life, but I don’t know how to get myself out there. I was wondering how to get myself back out after so much time isolating myself?

— Isolated Friend Dear Isolated Friend: It’s never too late to find love. But love is not just going to come to your doorstep; you have to go out there to find it. There are lots of dating sites you could try. In addition, think of hobbies that you enjoy and try to find communities that share your similar interest.

As Nike says: just do it! And put yourself out there.

Best of luck to you.
