Florida gov.’s once-promising run for GOP nomination fell apart after infighting, gaffes and disappointing showing in Iowa By Hannah Knowles and Josh Dawsey

Still, the City Council voted 8-1 in December to approve a budget adjustment of $1.7 million for Tourism Santa Fe, including $125,000 for the Zozobra balloon. Chris Rivera, whose final term on the council ended last month, cast the single no vote. In a later interview, he said he voted against the resolution because it was his last meeting as a councilor, and he had a number of questions he couldn’t get answered. “Other councilors will have opportunities to see this again, but that wasn’t my situation,” he said. “With issues like that, the devil’s always in the details.” The balloon will say, “Visit Santa Fe,” on one side and, “Visit Albuquerque,” on

Jurors in Trump defamation trial won’t see ‘Access Hollywood’ tape NEW YORK — A lawyer for a writer who says Donald Trump sexually abused her in the 1990s and then defamed her while president in 2019 said Saturday the infamous Access Hollywood tape and two other women who accused Trump of abuse will not be put before a New York jury considering defamation damages. The revelation by attorney Roberta Kaplan, who represents advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, means the Republican front-runner in this year’s presidential race could testify in Manhattan federal court as early as Monday, a day before New Hampshire’s Republican primary. The jury is considering whether Trump owes more to Carroll than the $5 million awarded to her last spring by another jury that concluded Trump sexually abused but did not rape Carroll in the dressing room of a luxury Manhattan department store in spring 1996 and later defamed her. Kaplan said late Saturday in a letter to the judge she would not show jurors the 2005 tape in which Trump is caught on a hot mic speaking disparagingly of women, in order to keep the issues in the trial “focused.”
Water issues hit over 2 dozen cities in Tennessee as freeze grips U.S. NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Subfreezing conditions and treacherous roadways have contributed to dozens of deaths this month across the U.S., where states as far south as Texas and Florida remained in the grip of deadly arctic weather Sunday. But the numbing cold is expected to ease in the coming days. Nationally, winter storms have claimed at least 72 lives this month, many through hypothermia or vehicle crashes. On Sunday, crews in Memphis, Tenn., continued to work around the clock to find and fix broken pipes that were causing low water pressure throughout the system. Memphis Light, Gas and Water President and CEO Doug McGowen told reporters Sunday he expects most of the 700,000 people the utility services to have water restored over the next 24 hours. Memphis was the largest, but not the only, water system in Tennessee to experience problems from the unusually cold weather. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said Saturday night 28 water systems have issued boil water notices.
Attack on market kills civilians in Ukrainian city held by Russia At least 25 people were killed Sunday when artillery shells hit a market in Donetsk, a city in eastern Ukraine occupied by Russian forces, the pro-Moscow head of the region said, blaming Ukrainian forces for the strike. If confirmed, the episode would be one of the most serious in recent months involving civilians in an area controlled by Moscow. Ukraine’s military released a statement on Facebook late Sunday that referred to the market attack but said it was not responsible. “Donetsk is Ukraine,” the statement by the Tavria military group said. Denis Pushilin, the pro-Moscow leader in the Russia-held part of the region, said on the Telegram messaging app 20 people had also been wounded at the market. The area is roughly 8 miles east of the front line in the war. Reuters and The Associated Press carried video footage they said they had verified of the immediate aftermath of the attack. The video showed bodies in civilian clothes scattered in the snow in an urban street and wounded people being helped by passersby.
Search crews rescue 23 lost skiers, snowboarders in Vt. backcountry KILLINGTON, Vt. — Twenty-three skiers and snowboarders had to be rescued in frigid temperatures Saturday after becoming lost in the backcountry in Killington, Vt., police said. After a call came in around 2:30 p.m., search and rescue crews hiked, snowshoed and used skis with skins to travel about 5 miles to bring a group of 21 lost skiers and snowboarders to safety, Killington police posted on Facebook. Temperatures were in the single digits. The skiers and snowboarders warmed up in rescuers’ vehicles upon their return. Then another call came for two more lost skiers. Six rescuers went back into the woods, found them and walked them out to safety at around 7:30 p.m., police said. New Mexican wire services

Abortion rights activists rally in October in Columbus, Ohio. The Biden campaign believes abortion access will motivate voters to turn out in the 2024 presidential election.
Democrats bet abortion will drive voters to polls Strategists aim to frame issue in terms of health, personal freedom By Colleen Long and Chris Megerian The Associated Press
WASHINGTON hen Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said recently he was “proud” to have a hand in overturning the abortion protections enshrined in Roe v. Wade, Democratic pollster Celinda Lake took it as a political gift from the former president, thinking to herself, “Oh my God, we just won the election.” It may not be that simple, but as the 2024 race heats up, President Joe Biden’s campaign is betting big on abortion rights as a major driver for Democrats in the election. Republicans are still trying to figure out how to talk about the issue, if at all, and avoid a political backlash. “A vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a vote to restore Roe, and a vote for Donald Trump is a vote to ban abortion across the country,” said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden’s campaign manager. “These are the stakes in 2024.” Since Roe was overturned in 2022, voters have pushed back by approving a number of statewide ballot initiatives to preserve or expand the right to abortion. Support for abortion rights drove women to the polls during the 2022 midterm elections, delivering Democrats unexpected success. For many people, the issue took on higher meaning, part of an overarching concern about the future of democracy, according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of more than 94,000 voters in the midterm elections. Democrats have since worked to broaden how they talk to voters about the Supreme Court’s decision, delivered by a conservative majority that included three justices nominated by Trump, and what it means for people’s access to health care and their personal freedoms. The Biden campaign is launching a nationwide political push this week centered on Monday’s 51st anniversary of the 1973 decision that codified abortion rights. Vice President Kamala Harris, the administration’s chief messenger on the issue, will host the first event Monday in Wisconsin. On Tuesday, Biden, Harris, first lady Jill

Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff head to Virginia for a campaign stop focused on the issue. More events featuring top Democrats in battleground states are also in the works. The campaign on Sunday released an advertising campaign scheduled to run all week, including during the season premiere of The Bachelor and the NFL conference championships. The spot features Dr. Austin Dennard, an OB-GYN in Texas who had to leave her state to get an abortion when she learned her baby had a fatal condition called anencephaly. “In Texas, you are forced to carry that pregnancy, and that is because of Donald Trump overturning Roe v. Wade,” she said. Focusing on abortion will not be a silver bullet for Democrats. The economy, foreign policy, immigration and inflation are major issues, too, as is concern about Biden’s age as he tries to overcome low poll numbers. Many voters are turned off by the prospect of a likely 2024 Trump-Biden rematch. Still, Democrats believe abortion will be a key motivator for base voters and help expand their coalition. Biden aides and allies point to recent state elections in which voters have chosen to safeguard abortion rights. Democrats spent decades trying to calibrate their message, defending the right to choose while also making overtures to voters who are conflicted about the issue. President Bill Clinton’s mantra was abortion should be “safe, legal and rare.” But the loss of federal abortion protections has been a catalyst for a broader and bolder message about abortion and reproductive rights after the historic setback from the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned Roe. “We know that if we talk about this issue as a fundamental freedom, we are able to resonate across demographics — older voters, younger voters, people of color, folks in rural areas,” said Mini Timmaraju, head of Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America. Biden aides said the strategy is to let the president be who he is — an 81-year-old Catholic man who doesn’t use the word abortion much, preferring to talk instead about the issue in the context of personal freedom.
First Black women to report from White House honored By Erica L. Green
The New York Times
WASHINGTON — On her first day covering the White House, Alice Dunnigan had every reason to stand out. She was the first Black woman to be credentialed to join the White House press corps, and she had even arrived an hour early to cover her first news conference with President Harry Truman. But as she sat in the lobby of the West Wing, she may as well have
been invisible. “I sat there alone and apparently unnoticed, taking in all the activity while glancing now and then at my newspaper,” she wrote in her 1974 autobiography, Alone Atop the Hill. “If anyone wondered who I was or why I was there, they made no effort to find out.” More than 75 years later, Dunnigan’s memory is being honored in the same setting where her colleagues once ignored her. Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House
press secretary, in November named a new lectern in the White House briefing room for Dunnigan of The Associated Negro Press and Ethel L. Payne, who joined her on the beat a few years later for The Chicago Defender. Over the years, the briefing room lectern has become as much a cultural artifact as a political one, anchoring a room accessible to a privileged few.

ST. LOUIS — The nation’s rivers and streams remain stubbornly polluted with nutrients that contaminate drinking water and fuel a gigantic dead zone for aquatic life in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a recently released Environmental Protection Agency assessment. It’s a difficult problem that’s concentrated in agricultural regions that drain into the Mississippi River. More than half of the basin’s miles of rivers and streams were in poor condition for nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizer that drains into waterways, the agency found. For decades, federal and state officials have struggled to control farm runoff, the biggest source of nutrient pollution that is not typically federally regulated. It’s a problem only expected to get harder to control as climate change produces more intense storms that dump rain on the Midwest and South. Those heavy rains flood farm fields, pick up commercial fertilizers and carry them into nearby rivers. “It’s really worrying that we are clearly not meeting the goals that we’ve set for ourselves,” said Olivia Dorothy, director of river restoration with the conservation group American Rivers. The assessment is based on samples collected in 2018 and 2019, and it allows experts to compare river conditions from previous rounds of sampling. It takes years for the agency to compile the results and release the report, which is the most comprehensive assessment of the nation’s river and stream health. Phosphorus levels dipped slightly while nitrogen levels remained almost exactly the same. About half of all river miles were found to be in poor condition for snails, worms, beetles and other bottom dwelling species that are an important indicator of biological health of the river. About a third were also rated as having poor conditions for fish based on species diversity. “Controlling pollution is a big job. It is hard work,” said Tom Wall, director of watershed restoration, assessment and protection division at EPA. “Things are not getting worse, despite the tremendous pressures on our waterways. And we would like to see more progress.” Water pollution from factories and industry is typically federally regulated. The Biden administration recently proposed toughening regulations on meat and poultry processing plants to reduce pollution, Wall said. When nutrient pollution flows into the Gulf of Mexico, it spurs growth of bacteria that consume oxygen. That creates a so-called “dead zone,” a vast area where it’s difficult or impossible for marine animals to survive, fluctuating from about the size of Rhode Island to the size of New Jersey, according to Nancy Rabalais, professor of oceanography and wetland studies at Louisiana State University. That affects the productivity of commercial fisheries and marine life in general, but nutrient pollution is also damaging upstream. Too much nitrate in drinking water can affect how blood carries oxygen, causing human health problems like headaches, nausea and abdominal cramps. It can especially affect infants, sometimes inducing “blue baby syndrome,” which causes the skin to take on a bluish hue. The EPA established the hypoxia task force in the late 1990s to reduce nutrient pollution and shrink the dead zone, but it relies on voluntary efforts to reduce farm runoff and hasn’t significantly reduced the dead zone.

Conflict rattling nearby economies
Kim Jong Un’s plans
U.N. agency estimates Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan have lost 2.3% of GDP By Patricia Cohen
The New York Times
LONDON — In the Red Sea, attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi militants on commercial ships continue to disrupt a crucial trade route and raise shipping costs. The threat of escalation there and around flash points in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and now Iran and Pakistan ratchets up every day. Despite the staggering death toll and wrenching misery of the violence in the Middle East, the broader economic impact so far has been mostly contained. Oil production and prices, a crucial driver of worldwide economic activity and inflation, have returned to precrisis levels. International tourists are still flying into other countries in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Yet for Israel’s next-door neighbors — Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan — the economic damage is already severe. An assessment by the United Nations Development Program estimated in just three months, the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip has cost the three
countries $10.3 billion, or 2.3% of their combined gross domestic product. An additional 230,000 people in these countries are also expected to fall into poverty. “Human development could regress by at least two to three years in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon,” the analysis warned, citing refugee flows, soaring public debt and declines in trade and tourism — a vital source of revenue, foreign currency and employment. That conclusion echoed an update last month by the International Monetary Fund, which said it was certain to lower its forecast for the countries when it publishes its World Economic Outlook at the end of this month. The latest economic gut punches could not come at a worse time, said Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma. Economic activity across the Middle East and North Africa slipped to 2% growth in 2023 from 5.6% the previous year. Lebanon has been enmeshed in what the World Bank calls one of the world’s worst economic and financial crises in more than 150 years. Egypt has been on the brink of insolvency. Since Hamas fighters attacked Israel from Gaza on Oct. 7, about 25,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, according to the

health ministry in Gaza. The area has suffered widespread destruction and devastation. In Israel, where the Hamas attacks killed about 1,200 people, according to officials, and resulted in 240 being taken hostage, life has been upended, with hundreds of thousands of citizens called into military service and 200,000 displaced from border areas. In Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt, uncertainty about the war’s course is eating away at consumer and business confidence, which is likely to drive down spending and investment, IMF analysts wrote. Egypt has still not recovered from the rise in the cost of essential imports like wheat and fuel, a plunge in tourist revenue and a drop in foreign investment caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

Reports: Israel kills militant in Lebanon SIDON, Lebanon — An Israeli airstrike hit two vehicles near a Lebanese army checkpoint in south Lebanon on Sunday, killing a Hezbollah member in one car and a woman in the other and wounding several other people, Lebanese state media and health officials reported. The strike appeared to be part of a shift in Israeli strategy toward targeted killings in Lebanon after more than three months of near-daily clashes with Hezbollah militants on the border against the backdrop of the war in Gaza. Hezbollah announced one of
its members, identified as Fadel Shaar, had been killed in the strike in the town of Kafra. Several hours later, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported a civilian woman wounded in the strike, Samar al-Sayyed Mohammed, had died of her injuries. Local civil defense and hospital officials said several others were wounded. Video from the scene showed a passenger sedan in flames next to a small truck stopped in the middle of the road. The Israeli military did not comment on the strike. The Associated Press

DeSantis Continued from Page A-1
campaign launch in May — via a glitchy live chat that neatly embodied the way his grand plans were going awry. “It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis said in a video message he posted Sunday afternoon on the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter. “They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare to this day to attack him.” He acknowledged “disagreements” with Trump — he spent the past year effectively calling Trump self-absorbed and ineffective — but suggested Trump’s remaining GOP rival, Nikki Haley, was worse. “We can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear, a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents,” DeSantis said. Even before DeSantis dropped out, Haley had emerged as the most viable challenger to Trump, polling closer to him in New Hampshire, where independents and moderate Republicans have given her a particular boost. But it’s not clear she can pull off an upset, and she faces a tough road ahead. On Sunday she said DeSantis “ran a great race” and has “been a good governor.” “Having said that, it’s now one fella and one lady left,” said Haley, a former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina governor. Trump’s campaign said in a statement it was “honored” by DeSantis’ endorsement and said “it is now time for all Republicans to rally behind President Trump” against Biden. DeSantis echoed Trump’s combative style and “America First” rallying cry while arguing he would be more electable, truer to conservative values and more effective at executing an agenda. He appealed heavily to the party base as someone willing to dig in on polarizing issues and go to battle with critics, the media and companies such as Disney. Struggling to make headway against Trump, he increasingly criticized the former president as “high risk” and “low reward” for the Republican Party. But the second-term governor’s strategy fell flat as voters refused to leave Trump and even gravitated back to him, galvanized by outrage at the former president’s four criminal indict-

Independents key to Haley’s N.H. chances By Holly Ramer
The Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. — Richard Anderson drove through a snowstorm last week to see his preferred candidate in New Hampshire’s Republican primary. But he’s not sure how far he’ll go to support her if she wins the nomination. Anderson, a 73-year-old independent voter from Jackson, liked what he heard from Nikki Haley at the Mount Washington Hotel. But he disagrees with the former U.N. ambassador’s plan to pardon former President Donald Trump if he is convicted of any of the crimes he’s been charged with. “That bothers me,” he said. “I’ll still vote for her in the primary, but I’ll wait to see if she’s still saying that in the general election.” Haley’s best shot at shaking Trump’s grip on the Republican nomination rests with her ability to attract New Hampshire’s independent voters — including some who might not stick with her in November — without alienating too many conservatives. Other Republicans have hit the right balance here, notably John McCain in two GOP primary victories. But those wins came long before Trump’s rise in politics and the Republicans’ rightward shifts both in the state and nationally. “It’s a very difficult needle to thread,” said Nathan Shrader, an associate professor of politics at New England College, “because if she makes too much of an overt play for the independent voters, that could be a turnoff for some of the Republicans who we know in the Trump era are more conservative than they might have been a generation ago.” Democrats can’t vote in the GOP primary, but voters unaffil-
iated with a party — who make up nearly 40% of registered voters in New Hampshire — can. That makes them a key target, though they aren’t a monolith. A CNN/University of New Hampshire poll released Sunday found a majority of registered Republicans likely to vote in the primary — 67% — said they planned to vote for Trump. But a majority of those registered as undeclared — 58% — said they support Haley. The poll, taken Tuesday through Friday, also found more registered Republicans in the state view Haley unfavorably (47%) than favorably (31%). Trump, meanwhile is viewed favorably by 76% of registered Republicans and unfavorably by just 16%. Haley was viewed favorably by 42% of people who have registered themselves as undeclared, while 32% viewed her unfavorably. Just 34% of the same group, by contrast, views Trump favorably, compared with 59% unfavorably. The poll was published before Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race Sunday afternoon. Trump has turned that crossover appeal into an attack line, suggesting that Haley is being propped up by “radical left Democrats.” The former president’s campaign argues Haley will struggle with conservatives in closed primaries like that of her home-state South Carolina, where the Feb. 24 primary is the next big matchup for her and Trump. “Her entire focus at this point in time ... has been about turning out Democrats and behavioral Democrats to hijack the Republican primary in New Hampshire,” Trump senior advisor Chris LaCivita told reporters this month.

What you need to know about Biden’s new loan repayment plan SAVE program could bring some much-needed relief By Danielle Douglas-Gabriel
because of unpaid interest,” Biden has said about the SAVE plan.
Millions of Americans are paying down student loans for the first time in years but with more repayment options than before. Chief among them is President Joe Biden’s new income-driven repayment plan — Saving on a Valuable Education plan, commonly known as SAVE — which ties monthly payments to earnings and family size. The White House estimates the plan could save the typical borrower $1,000 a year on payments because it reduces the amount of income used to calculate monthly bills. And some people enrolled in the plan will have their balances forgiven starting in February. So how does it work? Here’s some information that could help you decide whether SAVE is right for you.
And loan forgiveness?

Ember Bradley performs in a scene from The Bullying Collection at Wheatland High School in Wheatland, Wyo., on Friday. School officials canceled the middle school play in part because it mentioned a gay character. The anti-bullying play was nonetheless performed under private sponsorship. Parents were thrilled to see the play ultimately performed after weeks of practice and then delay.
Misguided by ‘old mindsets’ Angst over LGBTQ+ stories led to canceled middle school show — until Wyoming town salvaged it By Mead Gruver
The Associated Press
WHEATLAND, Wyo. liver Baez spent two months rehearsing a scene for a school play in which his character confronts another student about bullying a gay student who takes his own life. After much preparation, the 12-yearold’s small scene turned into a big problem among school officials in Wheatland, Wyo. At the last minute they canceled the anti-bullying play, saying it did not conform to school values and leaving the young cast without a stage. “It was awful,” Baez said. “For the school to cancel it, it’s like saying that ‘LGBTQ should not be included in a society.’ Which is really awful and cruel.” Twenty-five years after a watershed moment for the gay rights movement — the murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student in a university town not far from Wheatland — the canceled performances of The Bullying Collection show how far the LGBTQ+ community still has to go to gain acceptance in Wyoming and elsewhere. Wyoming is one of just two states without a hate crimes law; South Carolina is the other. Libraries around the country are facing community pressure to pull children’s books with LGBTQ+ stories, drag shows have been banned in some places and a University of Wyoming sorority was sued for admitting a transgender woman. Meanwhile, Wyoming lawmakers are preparing to consider a bill this session that would strictly define gender as one’s biological sex at birth, restricting the lives of trans and nonbinary residents. Located on the eastern Wyoming plains, Wheatland is a small farming and ranching community with about 3,500 residents. There are few restaurants, no department stores — not even a local Walmart — and few performance venues
O
besides Wheatland High School. A local theater group, the Platte County Players, has permission to perform there and salvaged the rights to the play and sponsored the performance a month later at the high school, as originally planned. The students performed last week before a small gathering of people who braved icy roads and subzero temperatures to see the delayed show. But if they still grow up to have bad feelings about the whole thing, they would have fair reason. Community apathy, combined with snowy weather and extreme cold, made for a sparsely attended performance. Only about 50 people showed up, including half a dozen LGBTQ+ advocates and allies from Cheyenne, 70 miles away. Parents were thrilled to see the play ultimately performed after weeks of practice and then delay. It was sad the principal couldn’t stand up for what was right and got misguided by “old mindsets,” Oliver’s mom, Cassie Baez, said in an email. In a changing world, such limited mindsets are harmful for children after they grow up and venture away from small-town life, Cassie Baez added. “As a kid who has been bullied, Oliver knew this was important. So he was sad and even mad that the school still wasn’t backing him on a very important topic,” Cassie Baez wrote. The principal had the backing of school district leadership, however. “The board supports the administration,” school board chairperson Lu Lay said in an emailed statement, citing zero “negative” comments from the public on the cancellation decision. To the district’s superintendent, John Weigel, the play seemed more appropriate for high schoolers than middle schoolers. He said he hadn’t seen the play himself but heard from the principal it confused some kids, and some middle school teachers supported cancellation.
The play featured 10-minute skits about bullying, including politicians and parents belittling one another and a teen being teased for carrying tampons at school. It also touched on a wide range of topics, including the risk of suicide for LGBTQ+ youths and students describing what it’s like to experience a school shooting. For school administrators, a scene in which a student eulogizes another student who killed himself was especially problematic. Baez walked onto the stage from the audience to chastise the girl for not mentioning the boy was gay and how she had participated in bullying him. “In my view, a play is supposed to be entertaining; that’s why I go,” Weigel said. “It seems to me this is more of a kind of, stir up some social issues, maybe, instead of kind of like being more entertaining.” When he canceled the show, Principal Robert Daniel worsened the sting by giving each cast member a $5 gift card to a Maverik convenience store, along with an apology letter saying they had done a “great job.” Daniel did not return phone messages seeking comment. One student tore up the letter and gave the card back. Another, Erica Biggs, 14, who played the role of the main bully opposite Baez, described the principal’s gesture as demeaning after all of their hard work. “We all kind of took it like they were trying to bribe us to feel better and not be mad about the play. But it didn’t really help,” Biggs said. Among attendees at the performance Jan. 12 was Sara Burlingame, director of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Wyoming Equality, who drove from Cheyenne to show support. “They’re doing exactly what we hope all students would, which is take very seriously how bullying affects their peers,” Burlingame said. “The irony is the people who are supposed to be their exemplars become their bullies.”
Streamlining high schoolers into hospitals $250M investment pairs understaffed medical facilities with students eager to start careers By Jenna Russell
The New York Times
Public school students in Boston will have a direct route to guaranteed jobs with the city’s largest employer, the Mass General Brigham health system, via a new initiative that will pair high schools eager to expand career training with hospitals desperate for workers. A $38 million investment by Bloomberg Philanthropies — the largest gift in the history of the city’s public schools — will transform a small existing high school into an 800-student feeder for the sprawling Mass General system, which is plagued by some 2,000 job vacancies. Boston is one of 10 cities or regions where Bloomberg has pledged to spend a total of $250 million over five years pairing hospitals with high schools. Students will earn college cred-
its as they train for careers in nursing, emergency medicine, lab science, medical imaging and surgery. But in a nod to evolving views on higher education, and to surging demand for vocational training, the program will prepare thousands of students to start full-time jobs upon graduation instead of college if they choose. “There’s a growing sense that the value of college has diminished, relative to cost,” Howard Wolfson, education program lead at Bloomberg Philanthropies, said in an interview Tuesday. “This should not be construed as anti-college — every kid who wants to go should have the opportunity. But at the same time, we have to acknowledge the reality that, for a lot of kids, college is not an option, or they want to get on with their careers.” The foundation started by

Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York who grew up in a Boston suburb, will establish similar partnerships between schools and hospitals in New York; Philadelphia; Houston; Dallas; Nashville, Tenn.; and Charlotte and Durham, N.C., as well as in rural areas in Tennessee and Alabama. In Boston, the money will allow the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers to gradually double its enrollment to 800 students from 400 and offer five health care career tracks instead of the current two. The new curriculum will be developed by Mass General Brigham. Students will choose a specialty by the end of 10th grade, then spend time as juniors and seniors training in hospital labs, emergency departments and other such settings, the school said. Founded in 1995, the Kennedy Academy has a waiting list of 400 students, its leaders said. That mirrors interest in voca-
tional training seen around the state and country. A 2019 state report on vocational education in Massachusetts found that student demand had increased 33% in five years, with vocational school enrollments falling far short of projected job needs in health care and other fields. Supporters of vocational schools have pushed the state to fund more of them and to adopt a lottery admissions system for existing programs, arguing that students of color have been unfairly excluded. Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston said the project will be a “game changer,” helping to build a stronger, more stable middle class in a city that ranks among the most expensive in the country. “For our community members to be able to step into well-paying jobs where they’re desperately needed,” she said, “that builds on-ramps to higherpaying careers that allow you to stay in the city and serve your community.”
What is the SAVE plan? It is an amended version of an existing income-driven repayment plan known as Revised Pay as You Earn, or REPAYE. A little background: Incomedriven plans cap monthly bills at a percentage of a borrower’s earnings and extend repayment periods from the standard 10 years to as long as 25 years, with the promise of forgiving the balance at the end of that term. Payments are based on a percentage of discretionary income, typically whatever a person earns above 150% of the federal poverty line. SAVE differs from the existing four IDR plans in a few key ways. It raises the amount of income shielded from the calculation of your payments from 150% to 225% of the federal poverty line. The plan also caps payments for undergraduate loans to 5% of income above that 225% threshold, instead of 10%. People with debt from undergraduate and graduate studies will pay a weighted average between 5% and 10%. What’s more, you can skip having to manually recertify your income under SAVE if you give approval for the department to automatically access your latest tax return from the Internal Revenue Service.
Will it affect interest? Under other income-driven plans, if your monthly loan payment was not sufficient to cover the interest that had accrued on your debt, the unpaid portion would be added on to your remaining balance. But that would end under the SAVE plan. This is the only IDR plan that prevents negative amortization, one of the reasons borrowers can see balances balloon over time. “As long as you pay what you owe under this plan, you’ll no longer see your loan balance grow

The loan forgiveness component of SAVE is most generous for people who didn’t borrow much. If you borrowed $12,000 or less for undergrad or graduate school, you will receive loan forgiveness after making 10 years’ worth of payments, instead of 20 or 25 years’ worth. Every additional $1,000 borrowed above $12,000 would add one year of monthly payments to the time a borrower must pay before their debt is forgiven. So if you borrowed $14,000, it would take 12 years of payments before your balance is forgiven. Owe a whole lot more than that? The plan still caps the number of years to forgiveness at 20 years for undergrad loans and 25 years for grad debt. Starting in February, the Education Department will begin forgiving the outstanding balance of enrollees who borrowed less than $12,000 and have been repaying for at least a decade.
How much will I pay? Because of the higher income exemption, a single borrower earning under $32,800 or a family of four earning under $67,500 would not have to make payments under the SAVE plan, while still getting credit toward loan forgiveness. The Biden administration says people who earn more could save $1,000 a year compared with other IDR plans. Say you owe $25,000 in student loans and earn $38,000 a year. Under the old REPAYE plan, your monthly payment would have been $134 a month, but with SAVE it would be $43 a month. That amounts to an annual savings of $1,092.
Who is eligible? People with federal loans made directly by the government for their own education are eligible for the plan, as well as those who consolidate their loans from the defunct Federal Family Education Loan Program. However, people with Parent Plus loans are shut out of the new plan. Parents who have taken on federal debt for their children’s education can only enroll in what’s known as income-contingent repayment, which caps monthly bills at 20% of disposable income and forgives the remaining balance after 25 years.
How do I apply? You can apply on the Education Department’s website at: studentaid.gov/idr. People who are already enrolled in the REPAYE plan will be automatically switched to SAVE.

‘You have to be a little nuts’
Nearly 4-mile S.F. Snowshoe Classic race — starting at an elevation of about 10K feet — is a wintry test for all competitor types By Matt Dahlseid

H
e no longer recognizes the faces at the starting line, and his legs don’t have the same strength they did decades ago, but Philip Crump still relishes being out in the snowy mountain terrain and pushing himself every year in the Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic. Crump started taking part in the strenuous race in its infancy in the mid-1990s along with his friends in the local running community. While the course has changed since then and the rest of his friends have stopped entering the event, the 79-year-old has yet to tire of the physical challenge and continues to savor the opportunity to join in on the atmosphere. “The last couple years, I haven’t known anybody. I’m sort of the last gasp of the early group, just too dumb to quit,” Crump said. “It’s still a fun event, and there are serious runners that go blasting by, and then, there’s the rest of us. I just haven’t quit. I enjoy it, and it sort of gives me a target for staying in shape during the winter.” Crump now hikes instead of runs the 6-kilometer (3.73-mile) course, which starts at nearly 9,700 feet in elevation at Big Tesuque Campground on Hyde Park Road, goes out Big Tesuque Trail and then does a loop via Pacheco Canyon Road and the Winsor Trail before returning to Big Tesuque Trail. These days, Crump calls himself a participant rather than a competitor since he’s looking more to have fun and finish instead of to win. Folks in either category will have an appreciation for the stamina needed to take part in a snowshoe race and the beauty that can be found in the winter wonderland of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The annual Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic, which will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday, has grown in popularity in recent years to well over 100 participants, according to race director Whitney Spivey. The event has drawn in many curious runners since its inception. For some, it’s been a novel test of endurance to try for fun. For others, it’s led to snowshoe racing becoming a true passion. Spivey got involved in the Santa Fe Striders running club when she moved to New Mexico more than a dozen years ago to work at Outside magazine. She had no background in winter sports, and said she just couldn’t get into skiing because she is “secretly terrified of going downhill fast,” but she said the Snowshoe Classic that the Striders organized felt more in her comfort zone. Spivey entered for the first time in 2011, back when the event offered options to run in a 5k or 10k race. The thrill of that first experience got her hooked and put her on a path to compete at the sport’s highest level. “I did the 10k in this pair of clunky REI-rented snowshoes, and I won it, and I was like, ‘Oh, maybe this is my new winter sport,’ ’’ said Spivey, who is now a communications specialist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. “I just kept entering races and kept winning or doing pretty well and eventually started competing in national championship races and made a national team two different times. “That aspect of it has been fun, the competing, but mostly it’s been a way for me to be outside and enjoy winter in a way I had never experienced growing up.” Spivey said she’s competed all over the country for the national championships — from Colorado and Utah to Wisconsin and Vermont. Internationally, she finished seventh in the world championships in northern Italy in 2016. Spivey has become somewhat of a snowshoeing ambassador over time. She started testing and reviewing snowshoes for Outside, including the smaller and lighter running snowshoes that competitors use in races. She says her garage is filled with the snowshoes she’s reviewed, and she lends them out to friends and acquaintances whenever anyone wants to give snowshoeing a try. She has also written about the joys of snowshoeing and snowshoe running for Outside and other publications. Recently, Spivey has been featured in a new New Mexico True ad where she’s snowshoeing in the Jemez Mountains and near Chama with her twin daughters to showcase the state’s winter outdoor opportunities. And even more recently, Spivey has been getting everything ready for Saturday’s Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic as its race director, a position she’s held since 2020. She’s worked to help grow the event by creating a welcoming atmosphere and lining up swag for the competitors

Chris Michel of Los Alamos approaches the finish line of the Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic in 2022 near Big Tesuque Campground. The annual race, which will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday, has grown in popularity in recent years to well over 100 participants, according to race director Whitney Spivey.
ABOVE: Competitors gather at the starting line for the beginning of the 2022 Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic near Big Tesuque Campground. “It’s a great way to stay in shape, and it’s a great way to enjoy the woods, the mountains, when they’re full of snow,” said racer Philip Crump.

— this year it’s Snowshoe Classic hip pack — as well as prizes for age group and raffle winners. Spivey also integrated a virtual version of the race during the coronavirus pandemic to allow people to either complete the course on their own time or to devise their own course anywhere there’s enough snow to snowshoe. There’s been enough interest that the virtual race has continued since the initial years of the pandemic. The proceeds of the Snowshoe Classic go to support Santa Fe Search and Rescue, which provides trained teams to participate in search and rescue missions locally and across the state. The group also has members at the race each year to offer assistance where needed. Spivey said there’s a small community that’s developed regionally around snowshoe racing. A race is held annually in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque; another takes place during the Chama Chile Ski Classic in the southern San Juan Mountains, and

other races are held in Colorado. Though Spivey can’t compete in the Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic while performing her duties as race director, she said she always enjoys it when folks in the snowshoe community descend upon Santa Fe for the event. “You have to be a little nuts” to run at elevation in snowshoes, Spivey said, “so it’s good to get all the crazy people together once a year.” Travis McWhorter, 37, has come up from Albuquerque to compete in the Snowshoe Classic four times and said he has placed third the last three years. It’s usually a small group of people who are pushing for the win, but he said the competition can be grueling. “What I always walk away with is it feels like my lungs are burning,” McWhorter said. “You get that metallic blood taste in your mouth, and my legs usually feel like lead in that race. “It’s deceptively hard because you have a bit of a climb at the beginning, then about two miles downhill, and
the last mile is about a 600-foot climb. That’s what makes it painful is there’s this monster climb at the end, and you’re just trying to hang on or pass people if you see them.” The top overall finishers usually complete the 6-kilometer course in 32 to 35 minutes, while those going at a more leisurely pace can take three times as long or more. Running in snowshoes is obviously harder than normal running, so most competitors don’t do it very often. McWhorter said he usually just trains by running regularly in the winter and making sure his snowshoes feel comfortable on his feet before a competition. “In the past, I’ve gone out with my snowshoes a few times [before a race], but the last couple times, the only times I’ve worn the snowshoes is at that race,” he said. Crump said he still tries to go snowshoeing two to three times a week, which he would do whether there was

a race to prepare for or not. Though he enjoys the bustle that comes with participating in the Snowshoe Classic, he said he also loves the peace that accompanies winter in the forest. “It’s a great way to stay in shape, and it’s a great way to enjoy the woods, the mountains, when they’re full of snow,” Crump said. “It’s beautiful. [Snowshoeing] lets you go places you can’t go on skis, and certainly you can’t go on foot.” SANTAFENEWMEXICAN.COM

The nonprofit Capitol Art Foundation, made up of art professionals from throughout the state, began acquiring a permanent art collection for the Capitol in 1991. Cynthia Sanchez, the foundation’s executive director and curator, said in an interview with Pasatiempo in 2021 art might not come to mind when most people think of the state Capitol. Tait said that’s true. Visitors “trip out” when they wander into the Roundhouse, perhaps to get a sense of the architectural design or learn more about the political process, and discover it’s an art museum, too, she said.

Namingha, R.C. Gorman and Gene Kloss. As she’s conducting a tour, Tait likes to make an impression of the droning, cartoon-like voice of the teacher in the old Charlie Brown shows, the voice that led some of the kids to nod off to sleep. Tait did a fair imitation of the voice during a recent tour and said she does everything she can to ensure she does not bore her audience. She imbues her tour with a sense of humor, a touch of personal introspection and a beyond-the-surface dive into the meaning and history of the artworks. Sometimes she’ll go beyond the painting and bring in some history of Santa Fe and New Mexico.
Pointing to Marnie Johnson’s painting Ristras II, depicting a line of drying chile pepper pods, Tait will speak about the history of red and green chile and its place in both cuisine and artistic decorations. She also gives out-of-state visitors advice about ordering food from New Mexican restaurants. “Don’t ask for Tex-Mex,” she said with a laugh. The Ohio-born Tait, who spent most of her life in Santa Fe, recalled wanting to grow up to be a chef. But her varied jobs in Santa Fe include working at a nursing home and for the New Mexico Tourism Department. She started working at the Capitol about five years ago, she said. She is one of several art tour guides there and can generally be found behind the glass-plated reception area just inside the east entrance to the building. Her tours run 30 to 45 minutes. Depending on the vibe and the interest of her visitors, she generally takes them to five or 10 art pieces while also giving them a tour of the building, including

You can’t complain if you haven’t voted.” She said the state Capitol is the perfect venue for inspiring others to take part in the political process. The vast majority of visitors on her tours are tourists from outside Santa Fe and from all around the world. “I love educating people about our state, getting them interested in seeing everything we have here in New Mexico. ... I like encouraging people to learn,” she said. While visitors can take their own self-guided tours of the artworks in the Capitol, Tait said she and other guides can help put them in historical and cultural context. There are so many art pieces to contemplate, everyone should “come check it out,” she said. “You’re guaranteed to find something that you will love.”
“That way, the city would have no liability,” he said. The plan is for the Zozobra balloon to have its debut the morning before the burning, and if the weather is good that day to potentially offer tethered balloon rides for kids. After that, Sandoval anticipates the balloon could be inflated for other special events and could be flown yearly at the Balloon Fiesta and other balloon festivals in the region, such as in Durango, Colo.; Nevada; and Oklahoma. The U.K.-based manufacturer is including a remote-controlled, 25-foot Zozobra balloon in its cost for the full-sized balloon, Sandoval said, which will be easier to fly in weather conditions that prevent the larger balloon from operating. A final contract for the balloon’s construction and maintenance costs will be brought to the City Council for consideration at a future date. Sandoval said he envisions the initial contract covering several years, but the balloon itself should last 10 to 15 years. If the cities feel the balloon is a good investment, the contract could be extended. “We want to ensure that the council feels for their investment they’re going to get something that’s worth it,” he said. Albuquerque spokeswoman Ava Montoya confirmed the city’s participation, which she said it views as a way to promote the “tourism corridor” between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. “We’re really thinking of it as one place for people to visit and get the best out of both,” she said.

Passivity not the answer for Central America The Washington Post
T
he release of a political prisoner anywhere is cause for celebration. And yet, relief that Nicaraguan Bishop Rolando Álvarez’s wrongful imprisonment has ended must come with a caveat: It was achieved only at the expense of forced expatriation. On Jan. 14, Bishop Álvarez, along with 18 other Catholic political prisoners — Bishop Isidoro Mora, 15 priests and two seminarians — left Nicaragua and flew to Rome. The freedom-for-exile deal had been worked out between the Vatican and Nicaragua’s dictator, Daniel Ortega, who has been at war with his country’s church ever since it lent support to popular protests in 2018, denounced his regime’s human rights violations and attempted to broker a peaceful transition to democracy. Bishop Álvarez represented a particularly courageous challenge to the regime. He had been a political prisoner since August 2022, having been convicted and sentenced to 26 years on such spurious charges as “undermining national integrity” and “propagation
of false news.” In February, he balked at joining 222 other Nicaraguan political prisoners who were expelled to the United States in a deal facilitated by the Biden administration. According to the Pillar, a U.S.-based news outlet that focuses on Catholic issues, regime officials presented the bishop with a blank sheet of paper at the time the others were being readied for expulsion and told him to sign. He refused, suspecting it was a trick to create a false confession. More recently, suffering from health problems, he agreed to leave the country. The latest prisoner releases culminate Ortega’s systematic attempt to cripple and subjugate the Nicaraguan church, in a manner similar to the strategy Fidel Castro employed against the Cuban church beginning in 1961. Pope Francis’s response to all of this has been disappointingly passive. On New Year’s Day, he said he was praying for Nicaragua and “following with concern” events there in which “bishops and priests have been deprived of their freedom.” The Vatican should protest loudly but has been cau-
tious, probably out of fear that strong public criticism will only make matters worse for the remaining clergy. The pope’s timidity will probably be repaid with more repression as indeed it has been already. In contrast to Nicaragua, Guatemala offers a ray of hope and an example of what outside pressure in support of democratic change can sometimes accomplish. The inauguration of newly elected President Bernardo Arévalo early Jan. 15 was delayed at the last minute, but not blocked. As the Post’s Mary Beth Sheridan reported, Arévalo’s triumph was in large part because of an aggressive push by the Biden administration. Guatemala’s political class has long been steeped in corruption, whether it’s drugrelated or more conventional graft. Arévalo, a small-party candidate who campaigned on a promise to clean up government, scored an upset second-place finish in the June vote, buoyed by a youth-led social media campaign, and won an August runoff in a landslide. But his victory was soon facing what Arévalo called a “slow-motion coup.” Court

Sinclair in connection with the Teapot Dome leases are beside the point. As this is written the senate committee has summoned Mr. Fall to answer a specific question. Where did he get some $100,000 used in increasing his ranch holdings? Jan. 22, 1949: With the end in view of raising $100,000 to develop Aspen basin as a recreational center, the Sierras de Santa Fe Co., Inc., has launched a drive. Tom K. Broome is chairman. The money is to be raised by selling stock in the company. Jan. 22, 1974: Santa Fe Police Chief Felix Lujan has been suspended for fie days for violating a personnel rule against doing outside business without authorization, City Manager Philip M. Baca said this morning. The suspension, without pay, begins tomorrow, he said. Lujan, a police officer for nearly 25 years and chief since May 1, 1971, said he made a profit of about $200 over a period of several months from sales of jewelry for an Algodones store. Jan. 22, 1999: A baby Jesus figurine stolen from St. Francis Cathedral nearly two weeks ago was returned Thursday after turning up in a trash bag on the doorstep of a downtown office. Parishioners call it “a mystery and a miracle.”
authorities suspended his party, Semilla, on allegations of fraud. Investigators from the attorney general’s office raided the national electoral authority, seizing boxes of vote tallies. Prosecutors began attempts to lift Arévalo’s immunity so he could be criminally charged. A nationwide strike by Indigenous communities in October galvanized support for the president-elect. Visiting U.S. senators urged the Cabinet of outgoing President Alejandro Giammattei to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power. When a prosecutor declared the August election results “null and void,” the State Department canceled visas for around 300 Guatemalans, including two-thirds of members of Congress. After the inaugural ceremony, the State Department announced Giammattei is being barred from the United States on grounds of “involvement in significant corruption.” The obstacles Arévalo must overcome are still large, but his election win and the concerted backing of the Biden administration are signs that democracy in Central America still has a chance.

the country. State Rep. Andrea Romero has introduced similar legislation at the state level. A number of gun safety measures are pending in this year’s session in Santa Fe. Guns divide us. One side speaks of Second Amendment rights and is backed by the National Rifle Association. I side with citizens who ask, “What about my right to feel safe when out in public?” I’m a psychiatrist who evaluates cops and victims of gun violence. In my opinion, it’s not the shooter who’s nuts, but our society for putting up with our gun violence epidemic. Let’s do something about it.

Evolution? I stopped at a coffee shop out of state last summer, where I encountered a man, apparently homeless, sitting on the curb. My compassionate gesture was to offer to buy him a coffee and sandwich, upon which he responded, “No, but you can get me a venti caramel macchiato.” But $5.25 later, I chuckled to myself and thought, “Well, you wanted to do an act of kindness.” Fast-forward to last week, when I went into Big 5 Sporting Goods and upon exiting was approached by a man asking for money. I told him I didn’t carry cash. He responded, “Well, we could go to the ATM for cash.” I advised him that wasn’t going to happen. So, is homelessness a new lifestyle choice? If individuals can learn to ask for specialty coffee drinks and know how an ATM works, why can’t they be educated to become productive members of our society? Ann Maes

Critical recruitment Did you know that vacancy rates in 911 dispatch centers and police agencies are, on average, more than 20%? That threatens the local 24/7 crisis response. Senate Bill 13, the Public Safety Recruitment Bureau, sponsored by Sen. Antonio Maestas, provides funding and innovative solutions to address these problems. Over 100 police agencies supported centralized recruiting in a recent survey. Our small local agencies don’t have time, resources or expertise to launch effective recruiting campaigns. This bill will professionalize aggressive outreach inside New Mexico and to surrounding states to target youth, women and other groups. It also supports retention and professional development for our public safety workforce. Please contact the Governor’s Office at governor.state.nm.us; click on “contact,” fill out the form and email the governor, asking her to message the Senate her support for SB 13. Rachel Feldman

n a world that never stops, where time rushes past us, there are moments when life demands our undivided attention. These are the moments when a loved one faces the end of their journey, and it is our privilege and responsibility to stand by their side. As a hospice nurse, I am acutely aware of the significance of these moments. I am also acutely aware of the urgent need for paid family and medical leave in our state. Hospice care is a unique field, where we not only provide medical support but also offer emotional comfort and dignity to patients and their families during the most challenging moments of their lives. Death, a subject often seen as depressing, becomes a sacred transition, and our duty is to make it as peaceful and meaningful as possible. The year 2020 brought a unique challenge that underscored the pressing need for paid family and medical leave. The coronavirus pandemic struck, and I witnessed the devastating impact it had on our patients and their families. One nursing home I visited was forced to convert an entire wing into a COVID-19 unit due to the high number of cases. Tragically, they experienced a staggering 90% mortality rate among COVID-19 patients. Many of these patients were under my care. I recall the heart-wrenching moments of donning full protective gear to spend hours helping patients communicate with their distant families via video calls. I vividly remember guiding a middle-school-aged grandchild through a conversation with their unresponsive grandmother. And later, I helped a daughter serenade her parents, both COVID-19 patients, through a video call. These were emotional farewells, as all three patients died within 24 hours. Despite the pain, our team did everything possible to ensure their comfort and dignity, a testament to the compassion that drives hospice care. In the midst of these profound experiences, I also witnessed a persistent challenge faced by families: financial burden. Acceptance of a loved one’s impending death is difficult, but the added strain of figuring out how to financially cope exacerbates the situation. Families grapple with tough decisions like whether they can afford to take time off work or hire outside help. I worked with a family in Albuquerque where the mother was actively dying, and her daughter was her primary caregiver. The daughter faced daily torment, torn between her mother’s care and the fear of losing her job if she took too much time off work. She also worried about feeding her children. The absence of paid leave forced her into an impossible situation, one that too many families in our state face daily. Paid family and medical leave offers a solution to this heart-wrenching dilemma. It ensures job security for caregivers, allowing them to provide care to their loved ones without sacrificing their livelihoods. It enables parents to care for their family members without jeopardizing their children’s well-being. Most importantly, it provides comfort to patients, knowing their loved ones can care for them without the added burden of financial stress. New Mexico cannot afford to wait any longer. I call upon our lawmakers to prioritize the passage of Paid Family and Medical Leave Act.

Demons’ Mendiola dominates at latest meet
‘All-time classic again’ Kelce scores twice and Chiefs beat Bills to advance to face Ravens in AFC championship

anta Fe High’s Elias Mendiola continued his stellar sophomore season at the Joe Vivian Invitational on Saturday at Albuquerque Cibola. Mendiola claimed the 127-pound title in a taut 2-0 win over Albuquerque La Cueva’s Austin Prieskorn in the finals to improve to 26-2. He defeated Albuquerque Atrisco Heritage’s Anastacio Martinez in a convincing 12-0 semifinal win during the morning session before coming back in the afternoon and outlasting Prieskorn in the finals, recording a reversal 24 seconds into the third period and holding on for the win. While Mendiola was the lone placer for the Demons, Capital managed to get a pair of wrestlers on the podium in Damian Rodriguez (fourth at 121), and Sevastian Madrid, who fell to Albuquerque Volcano Vista’s Jonathon Romero, 12-0, in the finals of the 133 division. Madrid is off to a season almost as impressive as Mendiola’s with a 26-4 start. Romero can claim wins over Santa Fe’s top two wrestlers. Romero, who moved up to 133 for this tournament, beat Mendiola in the 127 finals of the Conflict at Cleveland earlier this month. uuu
The Santa Fe Fuego will have yet another manager in 2024. Jonathan Garza was recently announced as the team’s skipper, making him the 10th field manager in the team’s history — and the fourth in the past 12 months. He replaces David Peterson, who filled in for the final month of a disastrous 2023 campaign that started with player-manager Tom Fitzpatrick at the helm. Fitzpatrick, who was fired mid-season, replaced Bill Rogan. Garza is a Pecos League veteran. He managed Monterey last season and Weimar in 2022. He led Monterey to a 31-18 record a year ago, taking the Amberjacks to the playoffs with the most wins in team history after finishing second in the Pacific Division. Monterey folded after the season, making Garza (according to the Pecos League website) the most targeted managerial candidate in the league. An announcement on the website said several of his former Monterey players are expected to fill out the Fuego roster in 2024. uuu

They didn’t score for the entire first half in an 85-9 loss to the host Lady Braves. Raton’s absence means 40% of the sanctioned district teams are not competing this year.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes avoids pressure from Buffalo Bills defenders during an AFC divisional-round playoff game Sunday in Orchard Park, N.Y. The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs advance to their sixth straight AFC championship game with a 27-24 win.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. o matter the setting — Arrowhead Stadium or Orchard Park — Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs keep finding ways to beat Josh Allen and Buffalo Bills in the playoffs. Mahomes threw two touchdown passes to Travis Kelce and the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs advanced to their sixth straight AFC championship game with a 27-24 win over the Bills on Sunday night. The Chiefs move on to Baltimore to face Lamar Jackson and the conference’s top-seeded Ravens, who beat Houston 34-10 on Saturday.

their most recent regular-season matchup in Week 2 of the 2021 season. “There’s no weakness there,” Mahomes said of the Ravens. “It’s going to take our best effort. Defense, offense, special teams, they do it all. It’s always a great challenge, and that stadium’s going to be rocking, so we’re excited for the challenge.” Mahomes passed his first test by winning his first true road playoff game — not including Super Bowl neutral sites — and improving his postseason record to 13-3. “First of all, this is a great environment, man,” Mahomes said of Buffalo. “It really is. We did hear it all week, man, about playing a road game, and we’re here to prove a point and show that we can play anywhere.” The Chiefs are accustomed to ending the Bills’ season, having done it now in three of the past four playoffs, with the first two wins coming at home in the 2020 AFC championship game and the 2021

MELBOURNE, Australia — Achieving yet another record at the Australian Open put Novak Djokovic in a reflective mood, revealing how he thought things might change after he’d clinched that historic 24th major title. Djokovic played his best two sets “in a while” in a 6-0, 6-0, 6-3 demolition of Adrian Mannarino on Sunday to reach the quarterfinals at a major for the 58th time, equaling Roger Federer’s Grand Slam record. It’s his 14th run to the last eight at Melbourne Park, where his conversion rate is incredible.
Of the previous 13, he’s gone on to win 10 Australian titles. “I thought maybe I would this year feel slightly more relaxed, for lack of better term, or maybe less tension, less stress on practice sessions, matches,” he said. “But it’s not. It is as it always was: very high intensity.” The 36-year-old Djokovic is meticulous in his planning and preparation and has had unprecedented success at the Grand Slam events in the Open era. Even with two more major titles than any man in history, he said he can’t relax and just enjoy it. “You can see it even today. I was 6-Love, 2-Love up. It was a
long game, and I was like going on with discussions, heated discussions, with my box,” he said. “The fire is still burning. “I’m not playing anymore because I need more money or I need more points or whatever. I just want to play. I really enjoy the competition.” In the quarterfinals he’ll be facing No. 12-ranked Taylor Fritz, who reached the last eight in Australia for the first time with a 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 win over 2023 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas.

What a way to start District 2-2A boys and girls basketball play. None of the Santa Fe schools in the district — Academy for Technology and the Classics, Monte del Sol and Tierra Encantada — will play at home when the 2A slate begins Tuesday. ATC will be at Estancia, Monte del Sol will go to Menaul and Tierra Encantada heads to Native American Community Academy for girls/boys doubleheaders. The big game should be on the girls side, as the Phoenix try to halt a four-game losing streak against a Bears squad that is 8-4 on the season and ranked ninth in Class 2A, according to MaxPreps.com. uuu
New Mexico United made some front office news last week, promoting Ron Patel to the role of team president. He succeeds Peter Trevisani, who will continue to serve as
the club’s majority owner and franchise CEO. “New Mexico United is so much more than a soccer team,” Patel said. “We are a community of thousands of New Mexicans committed to making our state a better place, bringing people together and showing the world what we’re made of.” The first employee hired in the team’s history, Patel has also been the chief revenue officer and been in charge of the team’s merchandising, ticketing and corporate partnership initiatives. The club also named Clint Gray and David Wiese-Carl as vice presidents. Gray’s role is that of VP of business development and facilities while WieseCarl will be the VP of media and impact. The United open their regular season March 9 on the road against Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC. The home opener comes one week later when New Mexico hosts Rhode Island FC at Isotopes Park. The club will have at least four preseason matches, starting with Saturday’s visit to FC Dallas at noon. United will play two games in Tucson, Ariz., one Feb. 10 against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and another three days later against Detroit City FC. There is also a March 2 match at El Paso Locomotive FC.
Djokovic reaches quarters, matching Federer’s record Continued from Page B-1
court. He was asked about both potential rivals, and said he was confident if he played to his level. No surprise to Fritz, who is 0-8 against Djokovic. “I mean, if I beat someone eight times in a row, I’d be pretty confident playing them, too, I can’t really fault him for that,” Fritz said, before adding that he was improving and was coming off his first win over at top 10 player at a Slam. “I think that I have a lot more level to bring than I’ve previously brought against him. Hopefully, I can play another match like today.” For Djokovic, it was a rare day session. He said it’s no secret he prefers the 7 p.m. start but if the scoreline was any reflection of how he played in the daylight, he was content. He dropped sets in his first two rounds and struggled with a virus but said his last two wins show “it’s going in a positive direction, health-wise, tennis-wise.” No. 4 Jannik Sinner hasn’t dropped a set en route to the quarterfinals, with the Italian beating No. 15 Karen Khachanov on Sunday, nor have women’s defending champion Aryna Sabalenka and U.S. Open winner Coco Gauff. Sinner will play a quarterfinal against Andrey Rublev after the No. 5 seed rallied to beat No. 10 Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-0.

through his head when he was down a set at 2-1 against an Aussie in the home of Australian tennis, Rublev said: “You don’t want to be inside my head, it’s like a scary movie!” Sabalenka will next play 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova, who dropped the first set but rallied for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 win that ended 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva’s bid to become the youngest Australian Open quarterfinalist since Martina Hingis in 1997. No. 2-ranked Sabalenka, who won her first Slam title here last year, beat Amanada Anisimova 6-3, 6-2. Gauff, who picked up her first major at the U.S. Open in September, beat Magdalena Frech 6-1, 6-2. Anisimova had won four of their previous five meetings but she didn’t have the answers this time. “I’m super-happy with the level, happy to get this win; she’s a tough opponent,” Sabalenka said of overcoming that obstacle. As for the next? “I feel stronger than last year. So far I feel good. Hopefully, I just can keep it up.” Gauff, who next faces Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine, was the first woman through, needing just 63 minutes to see off Frech in a match played on Rod Laver Arena — in front of the Australian great. “Luckily when I saw him come in I was already well up,” Gauff said. “I heard clapping and knew it wasn’t for us, it was only the first set. But thank you for coming. It’s an honor.” NOTE: Two points for a win, one point for overtime loss. Top three teams in each division and two wild cards per conference advance to playoffs.

STANFORD, Calif. — Only Her. Tara VanDerveer’s face shined in every corner of Maples Pavilion with that very message. Yes, the Stanford Hall of Famer now stands atop major college basketball as the winningest coach of all time. “Today was just so wonderful,” VanDerveer said. Even though she had to text her 96-year-old mother Rita they’d need to cancel a scheduled bridge game because of all the postgame festivities to celebrate her. “ ... It is a big number, and I’m very appreciative of the great players I’ve coached and the great places I’ve been and the attention it’s brought to women’s basketball.” Just as those who love her so hoped it would turn out, VanDerveer passed former Duke and Army coach Mike Krzyzewski with her 1,203rd career victory at home in Maples when No. 8 Stanford beat Oregon State 65-56. And it never fails that VanDerveer always takes a minute to thank everybody for coming to the game, and that includes offering her immense gratitude to the Stanford band. On Sunday, moments after her latest remarkable milestone in a career filled with them, she politely asked the band to stop playing. VanDerveer took the microphone and began with her words of appreciation once more. “I’m overwhelmed,” she told the crowd. “I’m not usually lost for words but it’s pretty impressive, all these people here, all the former players coming back.”

44 yards, allowing the Chiefs to run out the remaining 1:47. “Ultimately, completely on me,” said Bass, who had a field goal blocked and missed from 27 yards in a playoff-opening 31-17 win over Pittsburgh last week. “I feel terrible. I love this team, man. It hurts. This one hurts bad.” Allen blamed himself for having Buffalo’s final drive stall at the Chiefs 26 following two incompletions — the last a throwaway after he was flushed out of the pocket. “I wish he wouldn’t have been put in that situation. You win as a team you lose as a team. One play doesn’t define a game, doesn’t define a season,” Allen
said. “Losing sucks. Losing to them, losing to anybody.” The Bills keep finding different ways to lose to the Chiefs. After being blown out 38-24 at Kansas City in the 2020 season AFC championship game, Buffalo came up short in a 42-36 overtime loss in the divisional round a year later. The game has since been dubbed “13 Seconds” because that’s how much time was left for Mahomes to march the Chiefs 44 yards on two plays to set up Harrison Butker’s 49-yard field goal. Mahomes then clinched the win with a 9-yard touchdown pass to — who else? — Kelce. The tight end didn’t stick around to address reporters after this win, as he was perhaps busy rushing out to visit with

A head coach since age 24, VanDerveer celebrated with thousands of supporters and a couple Tara dozen forVanDerveer mer players on hand to cheer her on for yet another triumph in a decorated 45-year career featuring so many memorable accomplishments. And for a nearly full arena, this was also a chance for fans to show their love to the Hall of Fame coach who has been shining her light on women’s basketball for 41/2 decades. “Tara! Tara!” they yelled in the closing seconds before the celebration began. “This is a tremendous accomplishment for Tara VanDerveer, who is already one of the most accomplished coaches in the history of basketball,” Krzyzewski said in a statement. “This is yet another milestone to add to an amazing legacy. More important than all the astounding numbers and career accomplishments, she’s positively impacted countless lives as a coach and a mentor. Tara remains a true guardian of our sport.” A video tribute with messages from everyone from Billie Jean King to Steve Kerr, Dawn Staley and Coach K himself showed on the big screen. It was tense at times, with VanDerveer standing with arms crossed and pacing the sideline as Kiki Iriafen and her supporting cast made the big plays when it mattered most — including Iriafen’s first 3-pointers. Stanford was missing All-American Cameron Brink because of a lower left leg injury suffered in Friday’s win over Oregon.

girlfriend, pop music superstar Taylor Swift, and his brother Jason, who celebrated watching his two-TD outing from a suite. Travis Kelce celebrated his first touchdown catch — a 22-yarder — by making a heart gesture with his hands and directed toward Swift’s suite at the opposite end of the field. And Jason Kelce celebrated the touchdown shirtless while holding a can of beer. Mahomes was 17 of 23 for 215 yards, and the two TD passes to Kelce were the 15th and 16th times they’ve combined for scores in the playoffs. They have one more than Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the NFL record for most playoff TDs for a quarterback-receiver combination. “It speaks to Travis and his work, to be able to go out there and make plays in big games,” Mahomes said. “Passing anything that has Brady and Gronk

as fans stood, screamed and twirled white towels. “I knew it would be the last one in front of our home fans this year, and I took it all in,” Goff said. The Lions (14-5) won two playoff games in a season for the first time since 1957, the last year they won the NFL title, and had two postseason games at home for the first time. Now they have to travel to face San Francisco, the NFC’s top seed, on Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl — a game in which they have never played. “I envisioned that we would have a chance to compete with the big boys, and that’s where we’re at,” said coach Dan Campbell, who was hired shortly before Goff was acquired. Jahmyr Gibbs ran through a huge hole for a tiebreaking, 31-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and Goff made it a two-TD lead when he connected with Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 9-yard score. Goff finished 30 of 43 for 287 yards and directed an efficient second-half offense for the Lions, who had long touchdown drives on three consecutive possessions. St. Brown had eight catches for 77 yards, and his TD catch capped a masterful 10-play, 89-yard drive. “Goff in that fourth quarter, he really showed up and made some big throws,”

said Campbell, who told Goff he was good enough for Detroit last week when he gave him a game ball after beating his former team in a wild-card game. Gibbs, an electric rookie Tampa Bay didn’t have to face when it lost to Detroit in the regular season, had 74 yards rushing on nine carries and four receptions for 40 yards. The Lions, and their desperate-for-a-winner fans, hope their second appearance in the NFC title game works out better than the first when Washington routed them 41-10 on Jan. 12, 1992. Baker Mayfield threw three TD passes for Tampa Bay (10-9), including a 16-yard toss to Mike Evans that got the Bucs within one score with 4:37 left. Detroit couldn’t run out the clock on offense, giving Tampa Bay one last chance, but Mayfield’s pass over the middle was intercepted by linebacker Derrick Barnes, the quarterback’s second pick of the day. Mayfield was 26 of 41 for 349 yards. His early pick went off Mike Evans’ hands, and his late one was an ill-advised throw. “It comes down to minimizing mistakes and I didn’t do that,” Mayfield said. Evans had eight receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown. Rachaad White had 55 yards rushing on nine carries, a total coach Todd Bowles may lament wasn’t higher, and four catches for 36 yards. “Anything short of the Super Bowl is a

in it is special. Because those are two of the greatest players.” Allen went 26 of 39 for 186 yards and a touchdown, and also ran for two scores. His team-leading 72 yards rushing increased his career playoff total to 563, the second most among NFL quarterbacks in league history and trailing only Steve Young (594). It was another disappointing finish for a Bills team that won its fourth consecutive AFC East title, and was on a six-game roll since a 20-17 win at Kansas City on Dec. 10. “Just lost in the playoffs to a team that’s kicked us out,” safety Jordan Poyer said. “It’s tough. You work so hard throughout the season to fight and claw back, our backs against the wall, everybody doubting us midway through the season and we get here and just that close.”
disappointment,” Bowles said. Detroit and Tampa Bay traded field goals and touchdowns to enter the fourth quarter in a 17-all tie. The Lions went ahead for a third time with 3:48 left in the third quarter, when Campbell went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1 and Craig Reynolds ran up the middle for a score that ended a 10-play, 64-yard drive. Mayfield and the Bucs bounced back again with the crafty veteran, who resurrected his career this season, avoiding sacks before connecting with White on a 12-yard pass to make it 17-all late in the third. Gibbs started left and cut back to the right on his tiebreaking touchdown run. The NFC North champion Lions were fortunate to score first. C.J. Gardner-Johnson picked off Mayfield’s pass that went through Evans’ hands to end Tampa Bay’s first drive. Goff almost gave it back, underthrowing a pass into the end zone that defensive back Jamel Dean dropped, and two snaps later, Michael Badgley made a 23-yard field goal. Mayfield answered, converting a third down with an 18-yard pass to Evans and throwing a 23-yard pass to Trey Palmer on consecutive plays to set up Chase McLaughlin’s 43-yard kick. Goff converted a third down with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Josh Reynolds early in the second quarter. Mayfield used his feet and arm to pull the Bucs into a tie just before halftime. He ran for 14 yards — the longest run by a Tampa Bay quarterback in a playoff game — on a third down and then connected with Evans for 27- and 29-yard passes to set up a 2-yard TD pass to Cade Cotton.

Dad punishes family for not having a gift Dear Annie: On Dec. 19 of 2022, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Ahead of time, my husband and I talked with both sets of our parents and we all agreed that we would not be exchanging Christmas gifts that year. I wanted for Christmas to be quiet so that I could focus on my newborn and healing my body. Everyone said they understood. Christmas came and went. We FaceTimed all the new grandparents and set dates for them to come visit their new grandchild. When my dad and his wife visited, they brought us gifts. I felt embarrassed telling them that I appreciated it, but I didn’t have anything for them in return. They assured me it was fine. My dad texted me a few days later extremely upset that I did not get him anything. He said it was very thoughtless of me and made him feel like he didn’t matter. I was baffled. I explained that we had already talked about not exchanging gifts, so I truly thought it was OK to stand by our no-giftgiving plan. No matter what I said, he was insistent I had ruined Christmas for him. I felt extremely guilty. Since then, he has never mentioned it. I haven’t either. This past Christmas, I made sure to buy my dad a few things, but only because I felt obligated, not because I wanted to. It’s completely changed the meaning of Christmas for me. I still feel very hurt by his reaction, and I wonder if I should have said or done something differently. Please help me move past this. — New Mom Dear New Mom: First off, congratulations on the birth of your now 1-year-old baby girl. The only one that is acting like a baby in this matter is your father. It makes sense that you would feel a little bit pushed into buying your father a gift. Since you still are carrying hurt about your dad’s reaction, why not speak with him about it and tell him how you feel? Most times an open and honest conversation has the power to transform your feelings from being hurt to being listened to and understood. Dear Annie: Your recent column recommended the “golden rule” for dealing with a tricky relationship. May I suggest the golden rule nurses practice: “Do unto others as THEY wish to be done to.” One person’s wishes for how they want to be treated don’t always work for someone else. This means finding out what that person needs. Nurses are experts at interviewing and communicating with patients to make an assessment and plan for individualized care. This works for personal relationships that are “other-centered” rather than selfcentered. — RN Dear RN: Thank you for your letter. I love the Nurses Golden Rule! Thank you for your work of service. Nursing is one of the most important professions in the world.
