City attorney: e-signatures invalid on campaign forms Opinion underscores uncertainties in election code amid heated race

By Tom Sharpe The New Mexican

Electronic signatures can’t be used on forms to qualify for public campaign money in Santa Fe’s municipal elections, the City Attorney’s Office said in an opinion this week — another

indicator of ambiguities in the city’s Public Campaign Finance Code that are gaining attention as the mayoral race progresses.

The 2009 code, being used for the first time in a mayoral race, requires candidates seeking public campaign funding to collect 600 contributions of $5 each

from city voters.

At least two candidates for mayor in the March 4 election, City Councilors Patti Bushee and Rebecca Wurzburger, have solicited contributions online.

However, both have indicated

Martinez’s tour with Christie spurs 2016 talk New Mexico gov.’s spokesman stresses her commitment to state

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Gov. Susana Martinez’s trip to New Jersey this week to campaign for Gov. Chris Christie has some national political pundits’ tongues wagging about a 2016 Republican “dream ticket.”

Martinez joined Christie at campaign stops in at least six locations Monday, the last day of the New Jersey campaign. As expected, Christie, who is considering a presidential run, won re-election Tuesday by a comfortable margin. Christie’s campaign paid for Martinez’s travel expenses.

While the 2016 campaign is a long way off — and many question whether Christie can survive a GOP primary — headlines in national online news publications fueled speculation about the future for both governors.

Business Insider published this story: “Last Night, We Got Our First Look At Chris Christie With The Woman He Might Pick For Vice President.”

The NorthJersey.com blog site also included a post about the duo: “2016 preview? Christie campaigns in Hillside with New Mexico’s GOP governor.”

Tea Party takes hit in Virginia Christie’s landslide win is hopeful sign for GOP’s establishment wing

By Sean Sullivan and David A. Fahrenthold

The Washington Post

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie won a decisive reelection victory Tuesday, as the Republican known for blunt talk, moderate politics and presidential ambitions won support from a wide swath of voters in his Democratic-leaning state.

Christie, running for his second term, was leading Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono by about 20 percentage points late Tuesday with more than 70 percent of precincts reporting. His victory was a hopeful sign for the GOP’s establishment wing, on a day when two champions of the party’s rival tea party faction lost their races: gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli II in Virginia and House hopeful Dean Young in Alabama.

Santa Fe County Treasurer Patrick Varela assists Victoria Rodriquez on Tuesday with her property tax questions at his office in the county administration building, 102 Grant Ave. Rodriguez has requested that her property taxes be paid monthly.

atrick Varela is still getting used to the fact that people stand in line to hand him money.

As Santa Fe County treasurer, Varela knows there are lots of ways to pay property taxes — by mail, drop box, electronic transfer or through an escrow account with a mortgage company. But now in office almost a year, Varela also has learned that many longtime residents want to pay in person.

“It’s a pilgrimage for many,” he said of property owners who prefer to get in the car and drive to downtown Santa Fe to pay their taxes at the county administration building, 102 Grant Ave. “Most of the people pay their own taxes, and most like to have that piece of paper in hand [a receipt] that says they did,” Varela said.

When I was campaigning, a lot of people approached me who don’t live in Santa Fe and asked, ‘Is there any way I can pay without going into Santa Fe?’ ” Patrick Varela, county treasurer, on property owners who pay taxes in person

WASHINGTON — Invoking the Declaration of Independence, proponents of a bill that would outlaw discrimination against gays in the workplace argued on Tuesday that the measure is rooted in fundamental fairness for all Americans. Republican opponents of the measure were largely silent.

The Senate moved closer to completing its work on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that would prohibit workplace discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said a final vote is possible by week’s end.

CHICAGO — With a culinary style he likened to improvisational jazz, Charlie Trotter changed the way Americans view fine dining, pushing himself, his staff, his food and even his diners to limits rarely seen in an American restaurant.

Trotter, 54, died Tuesday, a year after closing his namesake Chicago restaurant that was credited with putting the city at the vanguard of the food world.

For decades, Trotter’s name was synonymous with cuttingedge cuisine. He earned 10 James Beard Awards, wrote 10 cookbooks and in 1999 hosted his own public television series, The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter.

WASHINGTON — Crystal statues worth $125 apiece and custom boxes with lamb-wool blankets at a cost of $149 per set.

Those are among the examples of excessive spending on promotional items by the U.S. Marshals Service in recent years, according to a watchdog analysis.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report Tuesday revealing that one of the agency’s divisions increased its expenditures on “swag” by nearly tenfold from 2005 through 2010.

Federal auditors determined that the expenses were “excessive and, in some instances, in contra-

NEW YORK — In Michigan, you’re expected to leave snowy boots in the mudroom before going inside. In Alaska, boots are taken off in “Arctic entries.” In Japan, Thailand and many other countries, you wouldn’t dream of entering a home with your shoes on, regardless of the season.

But removing shoes before coming inside has not been the norm in much of the U.S. These days, however, city dwellers and suburbanites from New York to Los Angeles often find that hosts expect footwear to be left at the door. Sometimes it’s because of weather; other times, homeowners want to protect light-colored rugs and high-gloss wood floors from dirt and dings, or parents don’t want street germs on floors where kids play.

Some guests find the request irksome — especially at holiday parties when they’re dressed up. “But this is an outfit!” squeals Carrie Bradshaw in a Sex and the City episode when asked to take her shoes off at a baby shower. (Insult to injury: Her highheeled Manolos are stolen during the party.)

Shalena Broaster of Philadelphia — whose friends call her “the diva” — says her first thought when asked to remove shoes is:

The rocket will launch Thursday, emblazoned with the emblem of the Winter Olympics in Sochi. It also will carry an Olympic torch to space as part of the ongoing Olympic torch relay. The torch will be brought back The Associated Press with the station’s current crew. DMITRY LOVETSKY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“I just pray I have a fresh pedicure!” Since she’s only 5 feet tall, she also misses the height her stilettos provide.

Classy hosts with a no-shoes rule hand out “guest socks” or inexpensive slippers that folks can take home. But please don’t offer Broaster your old tube socks. “Nasty!” she said.

Rachel Kerstetter of Cleveland wrote on her blog, www.ProbablyRachel.com, that guests sometimes make her feel “like a criminal” for asking them to remove shoes.

She offered 10 reasons why her household is “shoes-free,” including preserving the carpet, allowing guests to relax and put their feet up, and keeping allergens out of the house along with “grass, leaves, mud, dirt, bugs, gum, oil, tar and yes, even animal poo.”

For everyday comings and goings, Kerstetter and her husband use a mudroom by the back door. For company, they put a shoe rack in a small foyer near the front door.

“We like to walk around barefoot and we want to have our home clean,” Kerstetter said. She “didn’t grow up in a no-shoes household, but my parents taught me to ask” the host’s preference before entering.

Another must for shoes-off parties: Put a chair by the door. Don’t make guests hop unbalanced on one shoe while taking off the other. And put out a shoe rack so footwear

doesn’t end up in a pile.

Adi Bittan planned her wedding at the home of friends in Pescadero, Calif., before realizing that the hosts had a no-shoes rule.

“We were worried how that would look and whether our guests would feel uncomfortable or embarrassed,” she said. She solved the problem by buying fun socks — with noskid soles — as one of the wedding favors.

But the pro-shoes crowd doesn’t buy the no-shoes reasoning. If you’re worried about wood floors, they say, invest in inexpensive rugs. Protecting a white carpet? Roll it up.

Tracked-in dirt? Mop or vacuum.

“It is the height of tacky to invite guests to your home and then require that they remove anything more than outdoor attire,” said Jodi R.R. Smith of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting in Marblehead, Mass. “It is one thing to ask me to leave my L.L. Bean boots at the door for a Super Bowl party held during a snowstorm in New England. It is another to ask me to remove my heels at a cocktail party where everyone is dressed in suits and dresses.”

Jessica Gottlieb of Los Angeles says she is “disgusted when people want me to take my shoes off in their home. It’s a power play and no, you don’t get to undress me. “My shoes are there,” she added, “to keep me comfortable, cute and free of your foot fungus.”

KAMPALA, Uganda — Can you crowd-fund the hunt for a war criminal on the run deep in Africa’s jungles? A Canadian adventurer wants to do just that: raise funds and take a small band of former soldiers to find Joseph Kony.

Robert Young Pelton, whose plan has already drawn criticism from a pair of Africa experts, is the latest to join a line of private individuals and aid groups who are trying to corner the alleged mass murderer and members of his Lord’s Resistance Army. Kony remains elusive despite the deployment by President Barack Obama in late 2011 of 100 U.S. special forces to aid the hunt — which is mostly carried out by Ugandan troops — and the efforts by myriad private groups. Among those efforts: u Invisible Children, an American aid group, created a Web video seen by more than 100 million people last year that made Kony a family dinner topic and “introduce new audiences to the conflict, and inspire global action.” u The Bridgeway Foundation, a Houston-based charity, hired a private company two years ago that specializes in military and law enforcement training to teach child hostage rescue techniques to the Ugandan troops tracking Kony. With support from the deep-pocketed Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Bridgeway pays an aviation company to fly a Cessna Caravan airplane and a Bell helicopter that are used to extract LRA defectors, transport injured people and broadcast anti-Kony messages from loudspeakers. u Invisible Children and Resolve, another aid group, operate a website called the LRA Crisis Tracker that collects information on LRA attacks — often radioed in by villagers — in Central African Republic, Congo, South Sudan and Sudan. The site allows U.S. military officials or aid workers to see where the LRA is concentrating its attacks.

But while the U.S. military’s Africa Command and the State Department both said they “appreciate the passion and commitment of Americans and citizens around the world to help the communities terrorized by the LRA,” neither would comment on Pelton’s effort. Pelton, the author of The World’s Most Dangerous Places, says he has done work for U.S. military commanders in Afghanistan, and that he excels at finding people who don’t want to be found. If his plan is funded, he would start looking for Kony, early next year, he said.

The Ugandan military spokesman, Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda, said he had not heard of Pelton’s mission. “We wish him good luck. That’s all I can say,” Ankunda said.

Maj. Fred Harrel, a spokesman for the U.S. military’s Africa Command, said the African-led, U.S.-supported mission has reduced Kony’s operating space and influence. But despite all the efforts, Kony remains on the loose.

Adventurer Robert Young Pelton is the latest person who wants to corner Joseph Kony, shown, and the members of the Lord’s Resistance Army.

has the Federal Reserve’s drive to keep long-term interest rates near record lows: Lower bond yields have led many investors to shift money out of bonds and into stocks, thereby boosting stock prices. The Dow Jones industrial average has jumped nearly 20 percent this year, closing at 15,639 on Monday, just below its record high. “If we ended the year at these levels, it would be a phenomenal year,” said Bob Doll, chief equity strategist with Nuveen Asset Management. Here are factors economists cite for the gap between healthy corporate profits and subpar economic growth: Flat pay: Wages and salaries equaled just 42.6 percent of the economy in the April-June quarter, near a record low set in 2011. More than 8.5 million jobs were lost in the recession and its aftermath, leaving workforces leaner and more productive. Corporate revenue rose as the economy recovered.

But workers haven’t benefited much. With unemployment still high, they’ve had little leverage to demand higher pay. Many have been happy just to have a job.

“We’ve just had a very lopsided economic recovery,” said Ethan Harris, an economist at

U.N. envoy says opposition holding up Syria peace talks WASHINGTON — U.S.-Russian plans for a long-delayed summit on Syria appeared to collapse Tuesday, with the United Nations’ special envoy to Syria suggesting that the opposition’s perpetual disarray was to blame for the failure to begin negotiations on a political settlement to the conflict.

U.N. and Arab League special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi spoke at a news conference in Geneva, where U.S., Russian and U.N. officials met in hopes of a breakthrough that would allow them to announce a date

for a “Geneva 2 conference,” so called because it builds on an earlier framework for talks to end the war that’s raged for more than two years, with a death toll beyond 100,000.

No such agreement was reached, however, and Brahimi strongly suggested that the onus lay on the Syrian Opposition Coalition, which has been unable to resolve its internal differences and assemble what Brahimi called a “credible delegation” to meet with members of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government. He said the U.S., Russia

and the U.N. would meet again Nov. 25 to assess progress after scheduled opposition meetings, though he appeared skeptical.

Using strikingly blunt language for a veteran diplomat, Brahimi declared the opposition “not ready.” “They’re divided; it’s no secret to anybody,” he said.

Smaller paychecks have deprived Americans of money to spend. In the 30 years before the recession, consumer spending grew an average of 3.4 percent a year. Since 2010, just after the recovery began, it’s risen just 2.2 percent a year.

The stock market’s gains have boosted total U.S. household wealth. But they haven’t enriched most Americans. The wealthiest 10 percent of households own about 80 percent of stocks.

Cost cutting: This week, Kellogg said it would cut about 7 percent of its workforce — 2,200 jobs — by 2017. The cuts are part of a “global efficiency and effectiveness program,” the company said.

Even though Kellogg’s sales were flat in the July-September quarter compared with a year earlier, it squeezed out 2.5 per-

cent more net income. A key factor: It cut administrative and borrowing costs. Its shares have risen 15 percent in the past year.

FedEx is cutting jobs, too.

And though its quarterly revenue rose just 2 percent, its earnings grew 7 percent. The company has cut maintenance costs by replacing older aircraft with more fuel-efficient planes.

The shift helped reduce maintenance costs 11 percent in the June-to-August quarter.

The new planes are merely replacing older aircraft rather than expanding FedEx’s fleet.

So the economy doesn’t stand to benefit as much. The average sales growth of an S&P 500 company was 2.35 percent in the first six months of 2013, down from 3.76 percent in 2012, according to S&P Capital IQ. The average profit margin for an S&P 500 company widened

from 8.1 percent to 9.1 percent in the same period.

Cash hoarding: Higher profits could help the economy if corporations plowed them back into new plants, equipment and other projects. That hasn’t happened. “Corporations have been extremely cautious in their spending in this recovery,” said Maki of Barclays.

Business spending on bigticket items like computers, industrial machinery and capital goods has remained about onethird below the average in previous recoveries, Harris estimates.

Instead, companies have stockpiled a record $1.8 trillion in cash, according to the Fed, up nearly 10 percent since the recession ended in 2009. And thanks to the Fed’s drive to keep rates low, big companies have been able to borrow cheaply and replace their higher-cost debt.

The two most powerful technologies of the 20th century – the nuclear bomb and the computer – were developed in New Mexico at the same time and by the same group of young people. But while the history of the Manhattan Project has been well told, the origin of the computer is relatively unknown. Historian George Dyson tells the story of how Alan Turing, John von Neumann, and a small band of other geniuses not only built the computer but foresaw the new world it would create.

Injured man opts to end life support

By Jeni O’Malley

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Tim Bowers got to decide for himself whether he wanted to live or die. When the avid outdoorsman was badly hurt Saturday in a hunting accident, doctors said he would be paralyzed and could be on a ventilator for life. His family had a unique request: Could he be brought out of sedation to hear his prognosis and decide what he wanted to do?

Doctors said yes, and Bowers chose to take no extra measures to stay alive. He died Sunday, hours after his breathing tube

was removed.

“We just asked him, ‘Do you want this?’ And he shook his head emphatically no,” his sister, Jenny Shultz, Tim Bowers said of her brother, who was often found hunting, camping or helping his father on his northeastern Indiana farm.

The 32-year-old was deer hunting when he fell 16 feet from a tree and suffered a severe spinal injury that paralyzed him from the shoulders down. Doctors thought he might never

breathe on his own again.

Courts have long upheld the rights of patients to refuse life support. But Bowers’ case was unusual because it’s often family members or surrogates, not the patient, who make end-oflife decisions.

Medical ethicists say it’s rare for someone to decide on the spot to be removed from life support, especially so soon after an injury. But standard medical practice is to grant more autonomy to patients.

The heart-wrenching call to remove life support is more often left to relatives. Even when a patient has outlined his wishes for end-of-life care, the

decision can tear families apart.

Shultz said her brother — the youngest of four siblings — wanted to talk but couldn’t because the ventilator tube was still in place. If the tube were removed, she told him, doctors were not sure how long he would live. But when she asked if he wanted the tube reinserted if he struggled, Bowers shook his head no. Doctors asked Bowers the same questions and got the same responses. Then they removed the tube.

The last five hours of Bowers’ life were spent with family and friends. Through it all, Shultz said, her brother never wavered in his decision to die.

Campaign: Councilors aim to clarify code Continued from Page A-1 that they collected only a few signatures electronically and planned to have those voters also sign forms manually.

Last week, after The New Mexican inquired about the practice of electronic signatures, City Clerk Yolanda Vigil asked for an opinion on the matter from the City Attorney’s Office.

Assistant City Attorney Zachary Shandler said in an advisory memorandum dated Monday that the city code “does not authorize a citizen to use an electronic signature on a qualifying contribution form.”

In his analysis, Shandler wrote that a 2011 advisory opinion from the City Attorney’s Office determined that the Public Campaign Finance Code allows qualifying contributions to be solicited and collected by electronic means such as email, websites, online payment programs or similar means.

That opinion says “candidates must turn in copies of the qualifying contribution form signed by the contributor,” and “the plain language of the Code talks about signing the form.” Shandler cited a 2009 appellate ruling that said when the state Legislature “used the terms ‘signature’ and ‘sign,’ it contemplated that a handwritten name would satisfy the requirement.”

Several products on the market, such as Echo Sign, allow someone to make an electronic donation. After they type their name, Echo Sign uses “a cursive type font that makes it look like a signature,” Shandler wrote. But he said if there were an accusation of a fraudulent signature, “it would be largely fruitless for election officials to compare the electronic signature against a voter’s signature on the voter registration card.”

Shandler’s opinion did not rule out using some technology. The 2011 opinion said candidates may email the form to potential contributors or make a copy of the form available for download. Potential contributors may complete the form by hand or fill it out by electronic means, but the 2011 opinion says this must be done by “signing the form,” Shandler wrote.

“We acknowledge that the intersection of technology and election law is rapidly changing,” concludes his opinion. “It may be prudent for the Ethics and Campaign Review Board to study this issue as a part of its review of the municipal election process.”

Wurzburger said Tuesday that she has already revised her campaign website to reflect that electronic signatures are not allowed. She said the 26 to 28 people who

have submitted electronic signatures have been notified that they will need to sign the form with a “wet signature” and either mail it to her campaign headquarters or arrange to have it picked up. If they do not sign a new form, their contribution will go to the city, but won’t count toward her qualification for public campaign funds, she said.

“It’s a confusing process, but this shouldn’t affect us,” she said. “We’re already very close to having 600.”

Bushee said she also has at least 600 signatures, and only about 20 of them came via the electronic method. She said some of those people already have contacted her campaign to offer to sign a form in person.

“We didn’t push it, and we didn’t count on it,” she said of the electronic method of gathering signatures and collecting donations via Pay Pal. “We did it as a convenience. We’re not sure if we’d do it again, but it wasn’t enough to worry us. We’ve collected above and beyond.”

Mayoral candidates Bill Dimas, Roman Abeyta and Javier Gonzales have not tried to collect electronic signatures. They have opted, instead, to meet directly with voters and get signatures on paper forms. Dimas and Abeyta claim to have more than 700 signatures each; Gonzales said he has more than 800.

Abeyta’s campaign manager, Ray Sandoval, criticized the City Council over the e-signature confusion. “We’re really disappointed with the City Council,” he said. “In this day and age, where you have people soliciting money and wet signature versus electronic signature, why are we waiting to hear from a city attorney’s opinion about these when this should have been clarified in the ordinance in a real way that people understood it?”

Mayoral candidate Margaret Josina Campos declined to say if she would seek public financing, while candidate Michael D’Anna has said he would not seek public financing. Chris Rivera, another candidate, was not available for comment Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Common Cause New Mexico sent an email to all the candidates addressing growing confusion over another issue involving the Public Campaign Finance Code — whether it allows campaigns to coordinate spending with political action committees. An Oct. 31 story published by The New Mexican noted the code does not expressly prohibit such coordination but does include limitations.

If the coordination involves the transfer of anything of value, it could be considered an

in-kind contribution subject to contribution limits. Publicly financed candidates are not allowed to accept any sort of private contribution other than the $5 qualifying contributions and $100 seed money contributions to help kick off their campaigns.

“It seems clear that this prohibition against “accepting” private contributions, including in-kind contributions, would be violated by any publicly financed candidate who discussed with a PAC and approved an ad supporting the candidate’s campaign to be paid for by the PAC,” Jim Harrington of Common Cause wrote in the email.

Harrington said he felt the email was necessary after a follow-up story in The New Mexican again raised questions about coordination without reiterating the limitations cited in the earlier story.

Even so, the code remains unclear on exactly what actions would count as an in-kind contribution. City Councilors Chris Calvert and Bushee are sponsoring a bill to clarify and expand the kind of circumstances in which a coordinated expenditure by a PAC would have to be treated as a contribution and therefore bound by contribution limits.

Google’s secret barge projects raise concerns

By Martha Mendoza The Associated Press

San Francisco’s mayor says he doesn’t know what it is. Police say it’s not their jurisdiction. And government inspectors are sworn to secrecy. Google is erecting a four-story structure in the heart of the San Francisco Bay but is managing to conceal its purpose by constructing it on docked barges instead of on land, where city building permits and public plans are mandatory. Construction became obvious a few weeks ago.

The Internet giant’s actions at Treasure Island appear legal. But the mystery surrounding the bulky floating building — and a similar one off Portland, Maine — is generating rumors and worries.

Privacy experts, environmentalists and legal authorities say that whether it is a store to sell Google’s Internet-connected glasses, a data storage center or something else, the secrecy may backfire because Silicon Valley residents are highly protective of one of the most scenic and environmentally sensitive bays in the U.S. “At some point they’re going to have to unveil what it is they’re doing, and it will be sad if they have put a lot of money into something that is simply not allowable in the bay,” said Deb Self, executive director of the environmental group Baykeeper.

Self said whether the barge-mounted structure is a store, as is widely rumored, or a data center powered by wave action, for which Google has a patent, there are going to be grave concerns.

Google’s usually responsive media relations team did not respond to repeated calls or emails over several days, but records and other official accounts identify the project as Google’s.

Google has dodged public scrutiny by essentially constructing a vessel, not a building. Thus it doesn’t need permits from San Fran-

cisco, a city with copious inspection and paperwork requirements for builders.

Google has also avoided the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, a state agency that governs projects on the water and has its own long list of public reviews and permit requirements.

If, when the project’s ready, Google wants to sail it out the Golden Gate and into the Pacific Ocean, the tech giant won’t ever need to explain what it’s been up to.

But if Google wants to do anything with the structure in the bay, it will have to face public scrutiny, said the Bay commission’s executive director, Larry Goldzband.

He said the agency has had a few meetings with Google, but “they’ve been less than specific about their plans.”

“When they decide to let us know what they plan to do with it, or hope to do with it, then we can decide if it’s allowable,” he said.

Work on the barge is kept under wraps, literally. Supplies are kept onshore in hangars rented by a Delaware corporation named By and Large, (a play on the word barge?), under a $79,000-per-month lease that expires next August.

The name and number for By and Large on the lease led to a man named Mike Darby, who seemed baffled by a call from The Associated Press. “I’m not sure how my name got on the lease,” he said. “I have nothing to do with it. I’m in Singapore and it’s the middle of the night.”

A second man on the lease, Kenneth Yi, could not be located.

There is one agency keeping an eye on things: The Coast Guard has been routinely inspecting the two barges on the East and West coasts, as it would any vessel under construction, but spokeswoman Lt. Anna Dixon said she couldn’t talk about what the agency has found, citing nondisclosure agreements with an entity other than Google.

Tax: New bills show bond money for improvements at charter schools Continued from Page A-1 with the county technical staff for computer support and with the sheriff’s office for security.

“When I was campaigning, a lot of people approached me who don’t live in Santa Fe and asked, ‘Is there any way I can pay without going into Santa Fe?’ I told them I would look into it — so this is the first time we’re doing it,” said Varela, the nephew of state Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe. Patrick Varela said this year’s property bills also reflect a change in state law that requires the bills to show how much bond money is going to charter schools. Public charter schools are allowed to receive capital improvement money from school bonds. Previously, however, the funds were allocated to the local school district first — such as Santa Fe, Pojoaque and Española — and then were sent to the charter schools.

But the Legislature made the change so county treasurers can collect the money and remit it directly to charter schools.

Santa Fe County tax bills show small property tax amounts going to the Academy for Technology and the Classics, Monte del Sol Charter School and Tierra Encantada Char-

“

People like to know where their money goes.”

Patrick Varela, county treasurer ter — all secondary schools — and Turquoise Trail Charter School, an elementary. A statewide charter based in Santa Fe, the New Mexico School for the Arts, also received property tax money for capital improvements.

For a typical home in Santa Fe, the charter school levies total about $25.

Varela said the change will result in more transparency. “People like to know where their money goes,” he said.

Varela noted recent concern in Bernalillo County, where the County Commission took a vote of “no confidence” in the treasurer, due to a questionable investment strategy. News stories of the irregularities prompted phone calls and email inquiries from Santa Fe County residents.

In short, the Bernalillo County treasurer’s strategy maximized returns but limited liquidity. The treasurer had placed an inordinate amount of taxpayer funds in longer-

term investments, which yield higher interest rates but can’t be cashed out without penalties. County commissioners say that means there isn’t enough money for long-planned construction projects, so some of those projects had to be delayed.

Eric J. Lujan, chief deputy treasurer in Santa Fe, said what happened in Bernalillo County “was a breakdown — there was no communication.”

Varela promised that will never be a problem in Santa Fe County. He meets monthly with County Manager Katherine Miller, a former state budget director and county commissioners who serve on the investment committee. That helps him stay on top of cash needs and pending construction projects. For instance, he said, earlier this year, when fire and rescue crews were busy working overtime on flood relief, he beefed up cash reserves in case it was needed for emergency supplies.

“During the fires and floods, we added liquidity,” he said. “We filled the kitty in case of emergency.”

He added that all counties in New Mexico can only invest in U.S. government-backed securities and FDIC-insured bank accounts.

Wednesday, November 6, 2013 THE NEW MEXICAN

Continued from Page A-1 “In many ways, Martinez is the perfect complement to Christie, amplifying his strengths as a politician,” Business Insider’s Brett Logiurato wrote Tuesday. “She is relatively young (54) and a moderate who maintains strong popularity in a blue state. She has worked closely with a legislature held by Democrats and bucked her party by taking the Medicaid expansion in Obamacare.

Perhaps most importantly, she’s almost 2,000 miles removed from the poisonous politics of Washington, D.C. … Her appearances with Christie Monday sparked a buzz in the political press that we could be seeing a preview of the Republican ticket in 2016.”

John Reitmeyer, who writes for The Record, a New Jersey newspaper, wrote in a blog Monday on NorthJersey. com, “Many also viewed their appearances together on Monday as a test-drive for a possible 2016 GOP ticket. After the unpopular federal government shutdown last month — something many polls show voters are blaming on Congressional Republicans — Christie and Martinez are two politicians who have a record of governing, not obstructing.”

Martinez and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani were the only out-of-state Republicans whom Christie invited to campaign for him.

As it has done in the past, Martinez’s team downplayed the chatter about Martinez being on a national ticket.

“Gov. Martinez and Gov. Christie are good friends and she supports him because he’s a strong leader who has worked across party lines to achieve real results for his state. While all the talk is flattering, Gov. Martinez is completely committed to being the governor of New Mexico and has no interest in being a candidate for national office,” said her spokesman, Enrique Knell.

In an interview with Real Clear Politics’ Scott Conroy in New Jersey on Monday, Martinez didn’t answer directly when asked if she would consider being the GOP’s vice presidential nominee. “I’m so focused on New Mexico,” she said.

But it’s a long way to the White House for Christie. As Kevin Brennan of The National Journal noted Tuesday, “While Christie’s ability to work across party lines serves him well in New Jersey and could be an asset in the general election in 2016, it could hurt him with Tea Party supporters during the GOP nominating process.”

Democrats in the Garden State blasted Martinez’s visit.

In a news release Monday, the state party wrote that “Christie and Martinez have a lot in common. Both governors are former prosecutors with records of abusing their official powers to reward their political allies and tank their state economies.”

Some political writers in New Jersey said Martinez was there to help boost Christie with Hispanic voters. In 2010, Christie campaigned for Martinez in Roswell.

The Real Clear Politics article noted that Christie, when asked whether his appearances with Martinez could be considered as a prelude to a 2016 presidential ticket, didn’t dismiss the thought.

“I have absolutely no idea,” Christie said at a campaign stop.

“But I’m glad Susana is here.”

arvel Comics is bringing Ms. Marvel back as a 16-year-old daughter of Pakistani immigrants living in Jersey City named Kamala Khan.

The character — among the first to be a series protagonist who is both female and Muslim — is part of Marvel Entertainment’s efforts to reflect a growing diversity among its readers while keeping ahold of the contemporary relevance that have underlined its foundation since the creation of Spider-Man and the X-Men in the early 1960s.

Writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Adrian Alphona, working with editor Sana Amanat, say the series reflects Khan’s vibrant but kinetic world, learning to deal with superpowers, family expectations and adolescence.

Amanat calls the series a “desire to explore the MuslimAmerican diaspora from an authentic perspective” and what it means to be young and lost amid expectations by others while also telling the story of a teenager coming to grips with having amazing powers.

“I wanted Ms. Marvel to be true-to-life, something real people could relate to, particularly young women. High school was a very vivid time in my life, so I drew heavily on those experiences — impending adulthood, dealing with school, emotionally charged friendships that are such a huge part of being a teenager,” said Wilson, a convert to Islam whose previous comics work includes the graphic novel Cairo and series Air from Vertigo.

Newsmakers Cruise says he’s close to daughter despite work

Tom Cruise

LOS ANGELES — Tom Cruise is telling a federal court he maintains a close relationship with his daughter Suri despite his divorce from her mother Katie Holmes and a hectic film schedule. Cruise’s declaration was filed Tuesday in Los Angeles in a defamation case against Bauer Publishing Co. The actor is suing over two 2012 tabloid stories that claimed he had “abandoned” his daughter. Bauer’s lawyers argue that a judge should reject Cruise’s motion.

Lady Gaga and manager split over creative strife

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga and her manager Troy Carter have split just days before the pop star releases her new album, ARTPOP. A source familiar with the situation confirms the two have split over creative differences.

Carter signed Gaga in 2007 and the two have worked together since then. The move comes after Gaga’s tearful performance Sunday of new song “Dope” on the YouTube Music Awards and as she prepares to release her third album next Tuesday.

from the fringe.”

This Ms. Marvel can grow and shrink her limbs and her body and, Wilson said, ultimately, she’ll be able to shape shift into other forms.

The idea came after a discussion with senior editor Stephen Wacker as he and Amanat, a Muslim-American, compared stories about growing up.

From there it germinated into a “character for all those little girls who are growing up now the way you are growing up,” she recalled. Wilson was brought on board to write the series and the team quickly got approval from Marvel’s creative committee to move forward.

DC Comics last fall relaunched its Green Lantern series with Simon Baz, an Arab American and Muslim.

The character reflects writer Geoff Johns’ Lebanese ancestry and his upbringing in the Detroit area.

There have been a few others: Marvel Comics has Dust, a young Afghan woman whose mutant ability to manipulate sand and dust has been part of the popular X-Men books.

DC Comics in late 2010 introduced Nightrunner, a young Muslim hero of Algerian descent reared in Paris.

The creative team said that Khan’s backstory, growing up Muslim, is an element of the story, but not the critical foundation, either.

“Kamala is not unlike Peter Parker,” said Marvel EditorIn-Chief Axel Alonso of the teenager turned wall crawler.

“She’s a 16-year-old girl from the suburbs who is trying to figure out who she is and trying to forge an identity when she suddenly bestows great power and learns the great responsibility that comes with it.”

COMMENTARY: COLBERT I. KING

Unanswered: How did Snowden get the info?

W

hat’s this about governments spying on their closest allies?

We called it “the bubble.”

It was a 12-by-15-foot acoustic conference room made of clear plastic and aluminum.

There were at least five inches of space between the walls of the bubble and the walls of the room in which it was located. The bubble’s plastic walls, ceiling and floor allowed visual inspection for electronic listening devices, or “bugs.”

As an extra security measure, a noise-generating machine was installed in the outer room to prevent interception of any discussions of classified information within the bubble. The outer room was secured by a combination lock, the code known only to my office.

The first U.S. “bubble” was installed after hidden microphones were found in American diplomatic missions in Moscow, Prague and elsewhere in the 1960s.

Our bubble, within a room on an upper floor of the U.S. Embassy in Bad Godesberg, West Germany, was a countermeasure against possible technical penetration by the Soviet KGB and the East German Stasi. But Eastern Bloc countries weren’t the only concern.

Our bubble allowed classified discussions to occur beyond the hearing of our host and ally, the-then Federal Republic of Germany, and our friends down the road in the French and British embassies.

That was nearly 50 years ago.

This year, in my current capacity, I was sitting in the office of an ambassador in Washington when a member of his staff alerted him to an important call. There was a phone on the ambassador’s desk. But he left the room to take the call.

It turns out that his prime minister was calling from overseas. The ambassador went to a secure location in the embassy where he could conduct a confidential conversation.

True, he was in the capital city of his nation’s closest ally.

OUR VIEW

T was for the ears of his countrymen only, U.S. friendship notwithstanding.

Today, as the United States has been doing for decades, close allies in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere take similar precautions even when their missions are in friendly countries.

Gentlemen may know that it is bad form to read each other’s mail or to eavesdrop.

But in diplomacy and national security, the desire to know what another country is up to tends to overwhelm any sense of rectitude.

Consequently, the European outrage over snooping among friends may be slightly overdone. That is an entirely separate matter from the National Security Agency’s vacuumcleaner-like collection of the communication records and metadata of millions of Americans, including private citizens and, apparently, foreign citizens both here and overseas. The scope of that intelligence-collection program, disputed by Gen. Keith Alexander, the director of the NSA, this week is the cause of uproar around the country and in Congress. There is still much to sort out and probably reform.

The monitoring of foreign leaders’ phone calls, however, is closer to the larger deed of spying on allied governments.

Which takes us to an indelicate question: Why is a foreign leader, a repository of a nation’s secrets, communicating by text messages and smartphone?

The most junior Foreign Service officer or government civil servant entrusted with sensitive information assumes that emails and cellphones are susceptible to eavesdropping. What makes a head of state behave as if he or she is immune from monitoring?

Which brings up another tactless question: Why haven’t the security services of those foreign leaders developed countermeasures to prevent successful spying on personal communications?

The danger here isn’t simply that the NSA may have overstepped its bounds with respect to U.S. allies. The intelligence services of the foes of Germany, France, Spain, Brazil and the like may have the capacity to listen in on high-level conversations.

The naivete of outraged foreign leaders and their vulnerability to spying are nearly — but not totally — as surprising

as the scale of NSA snooping.

The NSA revelations, meanwhile, should not draw attention away from the revelations’ primary source: Edward Joseph Snowden.

How in the world is it possible that a high school dropout with a GED, a community college student who didn’t graduate, a failed Army recruit and security guard can catapult himself into a CIA information technology job, an overseas posting and subsequently a $200,000-a-year job with a company contracted to do NSA work in Hawaii, where he was able to gain access to the crown jewels of America’s secrets?

Whistleblower, traitor, patriot: Debate the labels all you want. The government has charged him with espionage. Take it up with Attorney General Eric Holder.

I want to know how Snowden got his hands on so much of the nation’s most sensitive intelligence and was able to flee the country, all within three months.

Damage? Done by the U.S. government to itself.

Online portal would further burden teachers

S

o, Gov. Susana Martinez is going to “allow” teachers to post classwork data online for each student?

And is the $1.2 million that this is going to cost going toward data entry people?

Somehow I doubt that.

It will just be another task that overwhelmed and overworked teachers will have to do. In the elementary schools, this would mean posting daily data on about 25 to 30 kids, and in the high schools, it could be 100 or more.

Between data entry and testing, when will the teachers teach?

Weren’t parent-teacher conferences instituted so that parents could learn how their children were doing? Or maybe parents could talk to their children about what is going on in their school? Children can be a wealth of information when there is somebody listening.

His sophomoric writing never broke any new ground and was constantly a whining view of life. The self-satisfied smirk in his photo told you all you needed to know.

A search too far

his week’s outrage in invasive police tactics comes courtesy of Hidalgo County’s Sheriff’s officers and Deming city police, in Southern New Mexico. The story has it all — a minor traffic infraction, over-the-top police suspicions and state overreach into a person’s most private regions.

The story, as reported by KOB Channel 4 On Your Side, is based on medical records, police reports and a federal lawsuit that was filed in August. Last January, one David Eckert went shopping at Wal-Mart. He did not make a complete stop at the stop sign, police said, and was pulled over by officers. Asked to step out of his car, officers decided Eckert was clenching his buttocks. That, in police eyes, was suspicious enough for officers to surmise that Eckert had narcotics tucked away in his anal cavity. They asked a local magistrate judge — who agreed — for permission to search Eckert’s body.

Into this sad saga, we now introduce one bright spot.

Police took Eckert to an emergency room in Deming, where a doctor there — a hero in this mess — called the search unethical and refused to do it. At Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, physicians agreed, though, and Eckert was admitted to the hospital.

Medical records show that Eckert’s abdominal area was X-rayed. No narcotics. Doctors performed a rectal examination with their fingers. No narcotics. A second rectal exam by doctors took place. No narcotics. Doctors inserted an enema into Eckert’s anus. He had to defecate without privacy so an officer could search his stool. No narcotics. A second enema followed. More defecation. Another stool search. No narcotics. A third enema. A third search. No narcotics. Another X-ray. No narcotics. Eckert then was prepped for surgery, and doctors performed a colonoscopy to search his anus, rectum, colon and large intestines with a camera. No narcotics. By the way, Eckert never gave consent. He was probed against his will, repeatedly, according to the federal lawsuit.

His lawyer, Shannon Kennedy of Albuquerque, believes that the search warrant was only good in Luna County, where Deming is located — and points out that Gila Regional Medical Center is in Grant County. What’s more, the warrant expired at 10 p.m., and the colonoscopy took place hours after that. Eckert is suing all involved — the city of Deming, Hidalgo County, deputies, officers, hospital and doctors. By the way, the hospital is billing Eckert for services that he says were forced on him.

Police and medical people involved aren’t talking, except for an interview with KOB by the Deming police chief saying his officers follow the law. A court will decide — or the parties will settle quietly — and in the meantime, drivers in Deming should take care to stop at stop signs.

The power of police in this United States — whether stop and frisk in New York City or intrusive searches in Deming — is unsettling. What happened to David Eckert shouldn’t happen to anyone; perhaps this lawsuit will help make sure of that.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 6, 1913: That there are over 500 able-bodied men who have refused to pay the $3 county road tax or work it out on the roads is the report of District Attorney Alexander Read. And he proposes to get busy. In order for those delinquents to avoid the court costs of from $12 to $15, he suggests that all delinquents be allowed until the 20th day of November 1913 to pay their road tax.

Nov. 6, 1963: Española — The pirated privy, which started out as a Halloween prank, is becoming one of the most traveled outhouses in history. On Halloween night the solid structure was placed in the driveway of C.L. Hunter’s residence in Fairview with a large sign proclaiming it “Hunter Hilton Hotel Annex.” Saturday morning it turned up in front of the home of Española Drug owner Dale Petty, adorned with more signs. No feelings hurt. A bunch got together and loaded the thing on Petty’s pickup for return to its original place of business at Hernandez. Next day it wasn’t on the truck to be returned. When Dutch Drace arrived home that night, there it sat by his house. It was still at the Drace residence on Monday.

Nov. 6, 1988: Many who felt they got off lightly in Municipal Judge Tom Fiorina’s most recent parking-ticket roundup may find it was the judge who had the last laugh. Fiorina had ordered about 3,200 parking violators to attend seven different court sessions this past week to own up to overdue citations. Most walked away paying only a fraction of the original fine, but under state law, many probably shouldn’t have paid anything at all. Since state law requires the prosecution of misdemeanors within two years, anyone who had a ticket that was issued before Oct. 1, 1986, was technically home free.

B School district to set graduation standards Board backs Boyd, who says SFPS guidelines would help define options

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

In an effort to clarify graduation requirements for its roughly 600 high school seniors, the Santa Fe school district plans to develop its own alternative guidelines for graduates.

The school board on Tuesday night

supported Superintendent Joel Boyd’s desire to pursue the idea.

The move might put the district at odds with the state’s Public Education Department, which Joel Boyd in 2009 specified that high school students must earn 24.5 credits, pass all core courses and demonstrate competency in five key subjects including reading, writing and math.

Santa Fe High tops Bernalillo in district quarterfinals.

The state has a lengthy and somewhat complicated list of alternative requirements for students who do not meet competency in one or all of those five key topics.

The district’s new legal counsel, former city attorney Geno Zamora, said Tuesday afternoon that he believes a section of the state rules makes it clear that “local school boards have the authority … to develop local procedures for creating alternative procedures” for graduation.

Boyd said the state’s guidelines leave “our youngsters somewhat confused

by what is expected of them.” He said the district wants to maintain high graduation standards while providing more clarity so teachers, parents and students understand the options.

He and the district’s assessment/ accountability director, Richard Bowman, noted that just last week, the Public Education Department sent a letter to all school districts providing additional flexibility regarding alternative competencies. Boyd said the district is trying to navigate “an ever changing landscape” of requirements.

During Tuesday’s meeting, Boyd,

Bowman and board member Glenn Wikle all said that some aspect of the requirements has been altered over the past two years. As the parent of two boys who recently graduated Santa Fe High School, Wikle said, the continual changes are “mind boggling” to track.

Statewide, some 50 percent of students are probably lacking at least one alternative-competency measure, Boyd said, putting their ability to earn a graduation certificate at risk.

aos Ski Valley reported that its slopes received 14 inches of snow overnight Monday.

Eric Thompson, assistant marketing director, said the snow that fell was “wet and heavy,” making for good coverage.

The ski area sent snowcats up Tuesday morning, plus some patrollers to start avalanche work.

The snow began about 8 or 9 p.m. Monday and continued, lightly, through Tuesday morning.

Taos has been making snow since Oct. 14, but the natural depth where it is measured in the trees on the back side is 31 inches. The resort plans to open Thanksgiving day.

Santa Fe’s ski area received 4 inches overnight Monday. Nov. 28 is its tentative opening date.

Nov. 15 and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Nov. 16. The resort is hiring for seasonal full-time and part-time positions, indoor and outdoor.

Angel Fire reported 8 inches of snow, also of the wet and heavy variety. It plans to open Dec. 13.

Krysty Ronchetti, spokeswoman for Angel Fire Resort, said this is the earliest in the last decade that the resort has been able to make snow because of low nighttime temperatures.

At Sipapu, 6 inches of snow fell Monday night and Tuesday morning. The resort is also making snow and expects to be open for the weekend of Nov. 16-17. It will reopen Nov. 23 through Dec. 1 and close until Dec. 6, when it opens for the season. There is about 7 inches of natural snow at the top.

Man says he’s owner of emaciated dog The New Mexican

A man has claimed ownership of a starving dog found recently in the Pojoaque area and said in an on-camera interview with a television reporter Tuesday that he will turn himself in to authorities.

During an interview aired during KRQE’s 5:30 p.m. broadcast Tuesday, a man identified as Michael Riggs said he owned the emaciated dog picked up by Santa Fe County Animal Control officers. The man said he didn’t starve the dog intentionally but rather the animal refused to eat because of an illness.

It’s unclear whether the man has been charged with anything, though KRQE reported that county authorities are considering animal cruelty charges. A Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office representative couldn’t be reached for comment Tuesday night.

The man interviewed on KRQE said he calls the dog Jackson, though staff at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society, where the dog is being cared for, have started calling the animal Raphael.

Ben Swan, the shelter’s spokesman, said staff there have been feeding the dog a diet of bland hamburger and rice at half-hour intervals, and that the animal has slowly been gaining weight. Swan also said staff haven’t found an underlying cause for the dog’s condition other than “extreme malnutrition.”

Swan said the shelter now has legal custody of the animal.

The emaciated animal was first found by a person walking his own dog on Oct. 28, Santa Fe County Animal Control officers said. The dog was found near Camino Iglesia in Pojoaque.Swan also said that a reward offered for information about the dog’s circumstances or the owner’s identity has yet to be paid out.

State Attorney General Gary King plans to tout New Mexico’s partnership with the Mexican state of Chihuahua in helping officials there reform their criminal justice system during a two-day gathering that started Tuesday in Juaréz.

But some U.S.-Mexico relations experts said Tuesday that reforming the judicial system is difficult, and so far, not many positive results have come from such partnerships.

King said Tuesday that he wants to focus on the strength that collaboration provides in the fight against international criminal organizations.

Gary King “I will highlight that the cooperation and training between New Mexico and Chihuahua were used as the model for our national training program for the rule of law initiative, and that thousands of prosecutors and investigators have improved their skills because of our efforts,” he said.

King will be the keynote speaker on the second day of the summit, which will move to the New Mexico State University campus in Las Cruces.

In 2006, New Mexico and Chihuahua reached an agreement that allows officials from north of the border to train Chihuahua law-enforcement agencies to help the Mexican state fight organized crime. According to the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office, the goal is to help Chihuahua move from confessionbased criminal prosecutions to an oral adversarial process with a focus on forensic-based evidence.

Police: Punch fends off home intruder A southwest-side Santa Fe man told police that he discovered a man entering his home through a window about 10:50 a.m. Sunday and punched the intruder in the face.

After taking the hit, the male intruder reportedly fell out of the window, then walked over to a silver Pontiac Sedan parked nearby and fled the scene.

Nothing was stolen from the home in the 3400 block of Todos Santos Street, no damage was reported, and the homeowner was uninjured, police said.

Investigators were still searching for the suspect, who a department spokeswoman said likely has a black eye.

Komis withdraws as City Council candidate Peter Komis’ decision to drop out of the race for District 2’s open seat on the Santa Fe City Council leaves five people seeking to be on the March 4 ballot to represent the central-southeast-side district.

Komis, who is president of the Don Gaspar Neighborhood Asso-

ciation, notified the City Clerk’s Office this week that he won’t run for the seat.

He said he is responsible for caring for a sick relative and doesn’t have enough free time to campaign for public office.

Still in the race are architect Rad Acton, landscaper Joe H. Arellano, gallery owner Mary Bonney, environmental activist Jeff E. Green and former Española mayor Joseph M. Maestas.

Rebecca Wurzburger, who has held the seat on the City Council since 2002, isn’t seeking re-election to the seat so she can run for mayor.

Santa Fe father speaks out against mental health shake-up Man says two autistic sons no longer receiving ‘essential’ services

By Barry Massey

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — A California man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for a heroin trafficking conviction in New Mexico.

Prosecutors say 49-year-old Louie Villegas, of Palm Springs, also was sentenced Tuesday to five years of supervised release after his prison term.

Villegas was arrested in April after a search at a Greyhound bus station in Albuquerque. Federal drug agents say they found more than a kilogram of heroin concealed inside the inner soles of the tennis shoes Villegas was wearing.

A Santa Fe father appealed to lawmakers on Tuesday for help in obtaining behavioral health services that he said have been disrupted because the state froze Medicaid payments to mental health providers.

Hashem Faidi, a state Department of Transportation engineer, told a legislative panel that his two autistic sons no longer receive behavioral management services after school and during holidays.

“Hopefully with your help, we can get back these services. It’s really essential for kids,” Faidi said.

TeamBuilders Counseling Services provided that help to his sons until August. However, the company was among 15 nonprofit providers that were suspended by the state in late June from receiving Medicaid reimbursements because of allegations of fraud, mismanagement and billing problems. The Attorney General’s Office is investigating the allegations. Two companies have agreed to repay the state $4.2 million for overbillings, and their Medicaid reimbursements will be restored.

The Human Services Department contracted with Arizona companies to replace some of the New Mexico providers. Agave Health Inc. took over for TeamBuilders in Santa Fe and several other communities.

Agave CEO Heath Kilgore said in a telephone interview that he couldn’t address the Santa Fe man’s case,

Unsuccessful search for hiker will be reviewed ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico State Police say they’ll review an unsuccessful search that was called off before a missing hiker died shortly after being found by hunters.

The search for Stephen Lockhart of Costa Mesa, Calif., was called off Oct. 23 after several days of fruitless searching in a rugged area of Eastern New Mexico’s Catron County.

According to KOAT-TV, Sgt. Emmanuel Gutierrez says there were indications that Lockhart may have left the area, possibly by hitchhiking.

However, the 43-year-old man was still in the area, and hunters on Oct. 27 found him lying on the ground and incoherent with a head injury.

Lockhart died before responders could reach him.

The day the search ended, Lockhart’s 70-year-old father fell ill and died while monitoring the search for his son.

8 in race to become next Hopi chairman

By Felicia Fonseca

The Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The race to become the next leader of the Hopi Tribe has drawn eight candidates, including the current chairman and vice chairman.

Hopis will narrow down the list Wednesday in the primary election, sending the top two vote-getters on to the general election on Nov. 20. Two of the four candidates for vice chairman also will move on.

Hopis elected Le Roy Shingoitewa, a former elementary school principal, as chairman and Herman Honanie, the tribe’s former health director, as vice chairman four years ago. They’re now running against each other to lead the 12,000-member tribe in northeastern Arizona that has faced challenges with investments, securing water rights and finding new sources of revenue as coal royalties decline.

Shingoitewa and Honanie took the leadership posts dur-

ing a rare vacancy in the offices after former Chairman Ben Nuvamsa and former Vice Chairman Todd Honyaoma Sr. resigned amid political chaos in the tribal government.

Honyaoma now is seeking the chairman’s job.

Ronald Honyumptewa, Alfred Lomahquahu Jr., Robert Sumatzkuku and George Mase are vying to become the vice chairman.

“We are talking about what he intended when he pointed that gun at Linda Haas and pulled the trigger twice.”

The same jury on Oct. 7 convicted McCluskey of 20 counts of aggravated murder, carjacking and other charges.

McCluskey was serving 15 years for attempted seconddegree murder, aggravated assault and discharge of a firearm when he and two other prisoners escaped from a medium-security prison near Kingman, Ariz., in July 2010 with the help of McCluskey’s cousin and fiancée, Casslyn Welch.

One inmate quickly was captured after a shootout with authorities in Colorado, while McCluskey, Welch and inmate Tracy Province headed to New Mexico.

Testimony showed the trio was hot and cramped from three days in a small car without air conditioning. They targeted the Haases at a rest stop near the New Mexico-Texas state line for their truck and travel trailer.

Province and Welch pleaded guilty last year to carjacking resulting in death, conspiracy, the use of a firearm during a violent crime and other charges. They both said McCluskey was the triggerman.

The candidates’ platforms include equal representation of villages on the Tribal Council, improving the tribe’s relationship with the federal government, reaching out to Hopis and cultural practitioners for advice and promoting cooperation between villages.

The Hopi Tribe also fought a public battle earlier this year to keep dozens of artifacts from being auctioned off in France but was unsuccessful.

The Hopi Constitution, which reflects a mix of theocracy and democracy in government, doesn’t require tribal members to be registered to vote but any Hopi casting a ballot must be 18 years old. Nearly 1,400 voted in the 2009 primary election.

Shake-up: TeamBuilders like second home for sons, father says Continued from Page B-1 but the company hasn’t eliminated programs previously provided by TeamBuilders.

“The services have continued, and we’re trying to build up employment to meet the needs of clients and schools,” Kilgore said.

Faidi praised TeamBuilders and said in an interview after the hearing that his teenage sons are more agitated and hyperactive without the services they previously received. He said he continues to negotiate with Agave to get more help for his children.

“TeamBuilders was like a second home for them,” Faidi told reporters.

Since the state suspended the providers, lawmakers repeatedly have expressed concerns about a disruption of mental-health and substance-abuse services for needy New Mexicans.

“We’ve created an incredible mess here,” said Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, an Albuquerque Democrat and subcommittee member.

However, the department contends that the Arizona companies have hired most of the staff who worked for the New Mexico providers, and there’s been no reduction in services based on the tracking of Medicaid claims.

Human Services spokesman Matt Kennicott

said in an interview that the department “remains very confident that consumers are still receiving the behavioral health services they need.”

Two former therapists in Valenica County told lawmakers they were laid off last month by Valle del Sol, one of the Arizona companies hired by the state.

Ed Church, who worked in Los Lunas for the company, said clients potentially will suffer because three therapists and five support staff had lost their jobs.

“From my standpoint, it’s a crisis, and what has been done is criminal,” Church said.

Valle del Sol CEO Kurt Sheppard said the layoffs brought staffing into line with what was needed to serve clients in several communities, including Raton, Española, Bernalillo and Los Lunas. He said the company has 120 employees in New Mexico, and about 400 clients receiving individual therapy and behavioral management services.

“We want to emphasize that we’ve worked to provide meaningful, appropriate services to every person showing up and seeking services.

We have not turned away anyone who is enrolled with a health plan for which we have a contract,” Sheppard said in a statement.

Border Patrol rejects curbs on deadly force

By Elliot Spagat

The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Border Patrol agents will be allowed to continue using deadly force against rock-throwers, the chief of the agency said, despite the recommendation of a governmentcommissioned review to end the practice.

The Police Executive Research

Forum, a nonprofit group that advises law enforcement agencies, recommended that the Border Patrol and its parent agency, Customs and Border Protection, stop the use of deadly force against rock throwers and assailants in vehicles, Border Patrol Chief Mike Fisher said.

CBP rejected both recommendations, which were part of a broader internal review of

the agency’s use-of-force policies and practices that began last year. The measures were not included in a revised policy announced on Sept. 25 that calls for more training and better record-keeping.

CBP considered the proposed curbs “very restrictive,” Fisher told The Associated Press.

Under current policy, agents can use deadly force if they

have a reasonable belief that their lives or the lives of others are in danger.

“We shouldn’t have carve-outs in our policy and say, except for this, except for that,” Fisher said.

“Just to say that you shouldn’t shoot at rock-throwers or vehicles for us, in our environment, was very problematic and could potentially put Border Patrol agents in danger.”

Durant shouldering even more of load for Thunder

NFL players cite lack of leaders in Miami

By Jon Krawczynski The Associated Press

Kevin Durant’s sturdy shoulders seem to go on forever. Two of the longest arms you’ll ever find drape from each end, and those shoulders remain straight.

It’s a good thing, too. The weight of an entire franchise rests across his back.

At the start of Durant’s seventh NBA season, it could be argued the Thunder have never needed him more than they do right now. And Durant has shouldered a heavy burden since he came into the league as an 18-year-old rookie in 2007, through his franchise’s move from Seattle to Oklahoma City, a small market made so much bigger by his presence.

he Santa Fe High Demonettes know how and when to fight.

Sometimes, though, their opponent isn’t on the other side of the court.

In what was another telling moment of the 2013 season, the Demonettes found themselves down 18-12 to Bernalillo in the opening game of the District 2AAAA quarterfinal in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium on Tuesday night. It wasn’t so much that the Lady Spartans dominated the first half of the game, as much as it was Santa Fe High playing as if the weight of the world was on its shoulders.

“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs this season,” said Santa Fe High senior setter Shannon Bates.

“We’ve just had to really work hard to bring it back up and to keep our game consistent instead of having our ups and downs.”

When the Demonettes got the energy level up and the nervous tension out of their systems, they showed why they are one of the more powerful teams in Class AAAA with a 25-21, 25-10, 23-25, 25-19 win to advance to the district semifinal on Thursday at Los Alamos.

The turnaround began with junior outside hitter Kayla Herrera coming up with a kill and a pair of crucial blocks that started a five-point swing. It didn’t really stop until Herrera hammered down a kill to finish of a 25-10 win in Game 2 and give Santa Fe High a two-game edge to soothe jittery nerves.

The Demonettes (16-5) scored 38 of the 51 points during that stretch, and they showed the full display of their arsenal. Herrera had six kills during that spurt, while Hannah Hargrove recorded six of her 16 kills and two of her four blocks. Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage was a brick wall at the net, registering three blocks to go with four kills in that span.

The hit parade didn’t end with that trio. Andrea Gonzales had a block and served an ace, while Monae Ortega had two of her six kills during that stretch.

It was the almost flawless symmetry of passing, setting and hitting that head coach Sam Estrada witnessed. Of course, it took a shaky start before his team got its rhythm.

“We get nervous sometimes and we don’t set the middle when we should,” Estrada said. “Our passing is great, which allows us to set the middle, and then we make a bad decision and go outside. But we scored sometimes, and you have to take those …”

But? “But I’d like to get our middles involved as much as we can.”

When the Demonettes have a pair of middle hitters in the 6-foot-1 Hargrove and the powerful 6-2 Lozada-Cabbage, it’s hard not to want to start the

attack from there. Bernalillo rarely had an answer for the duo, and it led to sustained runs. Hargrove and Lozada-Cabbage combined for eight kills and two blocks in Game 2, as Santa Fe High built an insurmountable 21-7 lead.

It was Lozada Cabbage who had a pair of kills during a five-point spurt in the third game that erased a 23-18 lead for Bernalillo (8-14). With the middle established, it opened up single blocks for

the outside hitters. Herrera had 16 kills from the the outside, while Gonzales added six.

Ortega came up with a kill in Game 4 to make it 22-18, then hammered away the match-clincher that sent the Demonettes onward. Ortega said there is no internal struggle among hitters to demand the ball. Only the adrenaline rush that seems to feed off

ASHBURN, Va. — Eleven seasons into his football career, Washington Redskins linebacker Nick Barnett figures he has a pretty good sense of the sort of teasing and hazing and horsing around that happens in the typical NFL locker room, especially when it comes to rookies.

They’re stuck with $5,000 dinner tabs. They’re told to Richie tote the helmets or Incognito pads of older players. They’re held down and given unwanted haircuts or get their eyebrows shaved.

What he’s never heard of, Barnett said Tuesday, is the kind of accusations of out-and-out bullying and harassment at the heart of why second-year offensive tackle Jonathan Martin suddenly left the Miami Dolphins a week ago because of emotional distress, and why his linemate, Richie Incognito, was suspended indefinitely by the team.

“You have different people, different personalities, different cultures in here, and it’s not going to be the same as in an accountant’s office or Wall Street. Same as our armed forces,” Barnett said, standing at his locker after Washington’s practice. “But every social setting has its standards, and when [you] cross those standards … especially with a guy who is 6-something-foot tall, 300 pounds … not coming to practice because he feels bullied or whatever the case is, now we have an issue.”

While some players said they figure the NFL to make clear certain kinds of locker-room behavior won’t be tolerated, Commissioner Roger Goodell has so far been silent on the

feat, that is actually not the case. They beat the Lady Tigers in a shootout on the same field nine days before their state tournament match, so it was a little preposterous to think that Los Lunas was going to have an easy road to the quarterfinals or that the Demonettes were the decided underdog.

What’s most shocking about this “upset” is that the Demonettes won in such dominating fashion. In soccer, a three-goal lead is like a 42-point margin in football, you’re just not coming back from that.

For Los Lunas, this was their first match since the last time they played the Demonettes. Instead of making adjustments to the team they just lost to or realizing the fact that they’re supposed to beat the 12-seed, the Lady Tigers did just the opposite.

The Demonettes, on the other hand, were well prepared. Secondyear head coach Keith Richards said

this group of girls is very receptive to what he has to say and they respond to what he wants them to do.

“This group is very coachable,” he said after Saturday’s match. “They do what I tell them and now all their hard work is paying off.”

Their hard work is no doubt paying off now, and the future of the program will be better of for it. This year’s team has no doubt changed girls soccer at Santa Fe High. A team that went unnoticed on its own campus is now two matches away from playing in the AAAA state championship.

And the Demonettes picked the perfect time to peak, too. With the school moving to Class AAAAAA next year, this was their best chance to make a splash for a while.

But if the program can continue the growth that is has experienced in recent years, it will probably take less than 14 years for an encore.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Packers’ franchise quarterback is taking a seat.

Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday he has a fractured left collarbone and has no idea yet how long he will be out.

The 2011 NFL MVP offered details of the injury on his weekly radio show on 540-AM ESPN. He got hurt after getting sacked by the Bears’ Shea McClellin on a Aaron third-down play Rodgers during the Packers’ first series while he was scrambling outside the pocket.

He hurt his left, non-throwing shoulder.

“I do have a fractured collarbone.

That’s a significant injury,” Rodgers said. “We’ll know more about the severity and the timetable later this week.”

Rodgers said he was holding out hope he would heal quickly. “In this case, it was considerably more pain than I’ve felt in a long time,” he added.

That collective groan you heard came from the state of Wisconsin.

The sliver of good news for the Packers: coach Mike McCarthy indicated that the injury won’t end Rodgers’ season. He sounded much more optimistic than after Monday night’s 27-20 loss to Chicago.

So in steps Seneca Wallace, who wasn’t even in Packers training camp this offseason, to take over the offense when the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Wallace was signed before the week of the season opener after Green Bay jettisoned three other backup candidates.

JANE PHILLIPS THE NEW MEXICAN

Pressure: Team must keep up energy level Continued from Page B-5 of each successful swing.

“It’s funny, because at the beginning of this [match], we all made goals for ourselves,” Ortega said. “Like how many kills we wanted and we give each other a boost.

I mean, it’s not a competition, it’s more like we want to help each other out.”

The master technician to the the varied attack was Bates, who is showing an ability to find the hot hitter — which at times

seemed like whoever got the set.

“I think it shows that we are capable of reaching another level,” Bates said. “Once they start pounding the ball, the energy level on the other team starts to go down, and it really picks us up.”

Still, the one quality the Demonettes need to show from here on out is an energy level that starts high and only intensifies from there.

Falling behind the Lady Hilltoppers, who are coming off an upset of the Class

AAAA’s No. 4 team in Farmington over the weekend, would be a more daunting challenge from which to recover.

“We’re trying to make everything count,” Bates said. “Cleaning up mistakes, making everything crisp because we know it gets tougher the further we go from here. We got to go into each game mentally tough, knowing what we have to do.”

Because it’s hard enough to play Los Alamos without having to battle the Santa Fe High Demonettes as well.

VOLLEYBALL NOTEBOOK

One win could change many things

By James Barron

The New Mexican

So what can one volleyball win do?

Well, in the case of the Los Alamos Lady Hilltoppers, it might be the difference between an at-large bid and watching the Class AAAA Tournament.

For the Roswell Lady Coyotes, it means throwing a wrench into the seeding for the AAAA bracket.

Los Alamos’ five-game win over Farmington, ranked No. 4 in AAAA according to MaxPreps.com, on Saturday gave it a valuable chip when it comes to the seeding and selection. It was the sixth loss by the Lady Scorpions, but four of the came against the likely No. 1 seed, District 1AAAA champion and intracity rival Piedra Vista. The other loss was to Albuquerque Hope Christian, the likely No. 1 in AAA. But hold on one minute. Roswell pulled off the upset of the season when it beat No. 1 Artesia in five games. It gives the Lady Coyotes some ammunition for a spot in the state tournament, but a 9-11 mark (1-3 in 4AAAA) offsets that accomplishment.

However, the loss also knocked the Lady Bulldogs out of the top seed and gave the

district title to Roswell Goddard, to boot.

That means Artesia will be no better than a three (behind Piedra Vista and Goddard), and could slide all to fifth.

And who could benefit from all of this?

Well, the Española Valley Lady Sundevils. A nine-match winning streak — which could end up at No. 10 with a win in the 2AAAA championship — could move Española to a four seed. It also would put the Lady Sundevils in the same pool as Artesia.

But you never know with the New Mexico Activities Association’s selection and seeding committee.

Lady Bobcats sitting pretty The McCurdy Lady Bobcats are in a better position for the postseason this year.

Last year, they lost the 4A regular-season title to Coronado in a playoff and had to win the district tournament to get the 12th seed for the state tournament.

This year, McCurdy breezed through 4A play to earn the top seed for the tournament and a spot in the playoffs. But the Lady Bobcats aren’t expecting any parting gifts from the NMAA. “I know we’re number-nine [in the rank-

ings],” McCurdy head coach Anita Rodriguez said. “But if history repeats itself, we’ll end up with the 12th seed.”

That’s because the Lady Bobcats earned that spot the previous two Novembers.

The one thing that Rodriguez likes is the pool play session all teams must play through to get themselves bracketed for the tournament in all classes.

That gives a No. 12 a chance to move up to a more favorable position, and that’s what the Lady Bobcats are focusing on — along with the 4A championship on Saturday.

“It doesn’t affect them,” Rodriguez said.

“They are already talking about pool play because the seeding doesn’t really matter.”

McCurdy may face Questa One team the Lady Bobcats might see in pool play is Questa. Ranked third in A, the Lady Wildcats looked primed for a seeding in the 3-6 range. If the Lady Bobcats get the 12 like they expect, Questa would need a No. 4 or 5 selection to be placed in Pool D for that to happen.

PREP ROUNDUP

Lady Horsemen keep tournament hopes alive

The New Mexican

The St. Michael’s Lady Horsemen volleyball team is still alive in the District 5AAA Tournament with a 25-22, 20-25, 25-22, 25-15 win over the Santa Fe Indian School Lady Braves.

The Lady Horsemen will travel to Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory on Thursday for a semifinal match.

While the Lady Horsemen (7-14 overall) may have won this match, the Lady Braves (1-18) put together a defensive effort that didn’t make the victory easy for

St. Michael’s.

“They gave us everything they’ve got,” St. Michael’s head coach Steve Long said about SFIS. “They were digging out pretty much everything we gave them.”

St. Michael’s Allie Berhost challenged the Lady Braves with seven kills while Lainie Serna helped out with 17 assists to get the Lady Horsmen one step closer to the district title.

“Hopefully we keep winning,” Long said.

“It’s always hard to win that first one.”

Desert AcADemy 3, AlAmo NAvAjo 0 The Lady Wildcats were missing a key

contributor in junior Tori Heath, who is out with an elbow injury, but that didn’t stop them from pulling out the 25-5, 25-16, 25-18 win over the Lady Cougars to advance to the District 2A semifinals against Mountainair.

Heath was replaced at middle hitter by freshman Rebecca Soifer, who stepped in and had four service points and four aces.

“She did well for her first time playing in that spot,” Desert Academy head coach Natalie Passalacqua said.

Amelia Linett also had a big night for Desert Academy (14-7) with 15 service points, 12 digs, 10 assists and 5 aces.

TENNIS ATP WORLD TOUR FINALS

Djokovic downs Federer in 3 sets

Continued from Page B-5

By Samuel Petrequin

The Associated Press

LONDON — Roger Federer had never lost his opening match at the ATP World Tour Finals since the elite tournament moved to London in 2009.

Until now, that is.

On the back of a chaotic and disappointing season, the former World No. 1 was beaten on Tuesday for the second time in less than a week by defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-7 (2), 6-2.

The Serb extended his winning streak to 18 matches after capturing his sixth title of the season last week in Paris, where he defeated Federer in the semifinal. Djokovic kept alive his chances of overtaking Rafael Nadal in the race for the year-end No. 1 spot.

“It was a big challenge physically,” Djokovic said. “Only 48 hours ago I was playing in Paris, so to be able to play this well and beat Roger is incredible.

“I have to enjoy the win and then think about the recovery because it’s a big win. The good thing is, there is a day off.

I’m going to try and recharge my batteries mentally and physically and get ready for [Juan Martin] Del Potro.”

Djokovic is attempting to finish No. 1 for the third year in a row but Nadal, who eased past David Ferrer 6-3, 6-2, needs only a win against Stanislas Wawrinka on Wednesday to be guaranteed the top spot.

This 31st encounter between Federer and Djokovic — a

remake of last year’s final — produced a somewhat disjointed match laced with unforced errors and flashes of brilliant tennis leaving both players looking exhausted toward the end of the match.

“Again, I was able to recover from all those matches and actually felt physically somewhat fine,” said Federer, who won his last Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2012 and has only two victories against top-10 opponents in 2013. “So I regret not having taken my chances better maybe.”

Federer, the oldest man in the draw at 32, refused to draw early conclusions from a season in which he had back

problems and dropped to seventh in the rankings.

“The season is not done yet,” he said. “Let’s talk about this stuff in hopefully four matches.”

Federer and Djokovic neutralized themselves until the ninth game when the Serb was down 15-30. A double fault gave Federer his first break point, but he sent a forehand wide on the next point.

Djokovic then took the next two points to hold his serve.

The Serb earned two break points in the next game with a superb backhand return. The cheering from the legion of Swiss supporters packed in the stands didn’t help Federer

as he fluffed a forehand to lose the set.

After rallying from 0-40 to break Djokovic for a 3-2 lead in the second set, Federer dropped his serve in the next game.

He double-faulted after Djokovic earned a break point with a backhand that hit the net cord before going over.

Serving for the set at 5-4, Federer made another unforced error on his usually reliable forehand to squander a set point.

Djokovic seized his chance, sending Federer in the ropes with a stretched crosscourt winner before leveling at 5-5.

NBA

Ellis has 30 points as Mavs rout Lakers beat the Pelicans.

Trailing 60-50, the Suns scored 28 points in the last 6:23 of the third quarter to go ahead 78-69 and led the rest of the way.

The Associated Press

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki’s new pickand-roll partner put on quite a show for the old one.

Monta Ellis had Mavericks 123 30 points and nine assists, Nowitzki was Lakers 104 another of seven Dallas players in double figures with 11 points and the Mavericks beat the Los Angeles Lakers 123-104 Tuesday night.

Steve Nash, Nowitzki’s buddy and old running mate, had an up-close view as Ellis did a little bit of everything, scoring on drives and pull-up jumpers while finding open teammates with nifty passing that has come as a pleasant surprise to the Mavericks.

HeaT 104, RaPTORS 95 In Toronto, LeBron James scored a season-high 35 points, Dwyane Wade had 20 and Miami beat the Raptors for their first road victory in three tries this season.

There were several firsts for the Nets, who beat the Jazz for the first time since January 2011. Williams got his first victory over the team that traded him to Brooklyn in February 2011, and it was first-year coach Jason Kidd’s first regular-season game on their home court. He missed the home-opening win over Miami because of a two-game suspension.

Atlanta (2-2) led by 17 points going into the fourth quarter but but the Kings cut it to three points with 32 seconds left.

NHL

Ovechkin scores 2; Capitals top Islanders WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin returned from a shoulder injury to score his 11th and 12th goals Capitals 6 of the season, and the Islanders 2 Capitals rode a second-period flurry to a 6-2 win over New York on Tuesday night.

After being sidelined for two games, Ovechkin scored twice on the power play in a five-goal second period for Washington, who have won three straight and are above .500 for the first time this season (8-7).

OileRS 4, PanTHeRS 3 In Sunrise, Fla., Mark Arcobello scored his second goal in overtime and Edmonton snapped a five-game losing streak.

The Oilers went on the power play after the Panthers’ Scottie Upshall was called for tripping 32 seconds into the extra period and Arcobello rifled a slap shot from the left circle that got past Florida

goalie Jacob Markstrom 1:23 later.

SenaTORS 4, Blue JacKeTS 1 In Columbus, Ohio, Erik Karlsson scored two goals, and backup goalie Robin Lehner made 32 saves to lead Ottawa to a victory over the Blue Jackets, ending a five-game losing streak.

Clarke MacArthur and Chris Neil also scored, and Jason Spezza had two assists.

Harding stopped 24 of 25 shots to win his fifth straight start. He leads the NHL with a 1.10 goals-against average and .950 save percentage.

BlueS 3, canaDienS 2, SO In Montreal, T.J. Oshie scored in the shootout to give St. Louis a victory over the Canadiens.

Alexander Steen and Chris Stewart scored in regulation for St. Louis, and Jaroslav Halak had 25 saves. Halak also turned away three shots in the shootout.

NBA. He’s a capable help defender, sliding over late in the shot clock to foil a drive to the basket. He’s the source of confidence for a young supporting cast, passing up shots early in the game to try to get them going. And he’s the leader in the locker room, as grizzled a veteran as a 25-year-old can be.

“I still look at myself as a young guy, just trying to find my way and learn as much as I can in such a quick time in this league,” Durant said before a recent game in Minnesota. “But I’ve got to kind of reel myself in and say these guys are watching me. I’ve got to set a great example for them.

“I’ve got to let them play sometimes and let them make mistakes and learn from them, but also talk up when I have to.

I’m just trying to find a balance between the two.”

It’s the next stage of development for one of the league’s brightest stars. Led by Durant, the Thunder were set up to be the next dominant team in the West for years to come after reaching the NBA Finals two years ago.

But GM Sam Presti had to make some difficult decisions, having already allocated most of the salary cap on hefty extensions for Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka. So Presti traded Harden to the Houston Rockets before last season, then had to let Martin go after Minnesota offered the 30-year-old shooting guard a four-year, $28 million deal.

The departures have thinned the OKC bench, leaving coach Scott Brooks with unproven youngsters like Reggie Jackson, Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones III to fill the pivotal roles.

So Durant has been working on getting those young guys involved and helping them gain confidence while also making sure the Thunder win as often as possible in the hypercompetitive Western Conference. He scored 42 points in the opener to help them edge the Utah Jazz, but then was limited to 13 points in a blowout loss to the Timberwolves.

He only took three shots in the first quarter against the Wolves, and the Thunder trailed by 15 going into the second.

Miami: Certain level of hazing acceptable Continued from Page B-5 matter; a spokesman said the league is “currently engaged in a thorough review of the situation.” The players’ union issued a statement Tuesday saying it expects the NFL and teams to “create a safe and professional workplace for all players.”

According to two people familiar with the case, Incognito sent Martin racist and threatening text messages.

The 319-pound Incognito, a ninth-year pro, is white. The 312-pound Martin, in his second NFL season, is biracial.

It’s unclear whether Dolphins coaches or management knew of any issues between the pair before Martin left the team.

The curtains do get pulled back on this sort of thing in the NFL every so often and, as with most bits of news connected to the country’s most popular sports league, they garner quite a bit of attention.

During training camp last year, New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara was tossed into a tub of ice water by defensive lineman Jason PierrePaul. Amukamara had missed most of training camp with an injury a year earlier as a rookie, so perhaps this was a chance to make up for lost time; a teammate let the world in on the episode with a tweet.

“What I went through wasn’t bullying at all. It was just more of fun in the locker room. Of course, nobody’s going to be happy being thrown into a cold tub of water, but … things can get out of hand sometimes,” Amukamara said this week.

Like several other players around the NFL, Amukamara latched onto two particular elements of the Miami situation that moved past normal fun ‘n’ games: “Anything that’s racial or threatening, I think that’s in the definition of bullying,” he said.

Detroit Lions receiver Nate Burleson recalled a first-round draft pick with another team who signed a deal for tens of millions of dollars and was told to pay a $30,000 restaurant bill for others at his position.

“It happens a lot. But certain things remain in this league for a reason, and certain things start to phase themselves out,” Burleson said. “I don’t know if this is one of them.”

Some veterans, such as Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen, consider such happenings a rite of passage they hope won’t disappear entirely — within reason.

“Some of the younger guys come in and there’s a sense of entitlement, and you lose that work ethic, you lose that true veteran-led locker room sometimes,” said Allen, who said he’s seen teammates fork over $50,000 or more. “You got to know who you’re dealing with. You can’t treat everyone

the same. You can’t treat every rookie the same.

“Some guys are more sensitive than others.”

And there are those who take the whole pecking-order system rather seriously.

“In our locker room, it’s simple: Do what we say and you won’t get hazed,” Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas said.

“If you don’t, you get thrown in the cold tub or your shirt gets cut up.”

Several players said they think it’s up to players to prevent the behavior that goes beyond good-natured ribbing.

That, they say, was the failure in Miami.

“Who was the leaders on that team?” Redskins linebacker London Fletcher said. “I know Jonathan Martin didn’t feel comfortable enough to go to any of the guys, because either you’re encouraging it or you’re just turning a blind eye and allowing the guy to get treated like he was getting treated. And that’s the biggest thing that disappointed me. … There was not a veteran guy strong enough to stop what was happening.”

The irony, of course, is that Incognito was one of the oldest members of the Dolphins — only one player on the Week 1 roster had been in the league longer — and was voted to one of six spots on the team’s leadership council.

“How do you police it if you have your most-esteemed vets doing it?” Washington’s Barnett said. “Other vets have to have the responsibility and step up.”

One factor at play in Miami: There is something of a veteran leadership vacuum on the young Dolphins, perhaps in part because the best player, defensive end Cameron Wake, generally is a laid-back guy who is not inclined to assert himself.

“The locker room has been fine, as far as I’m concerned,” Wake said Monday, when details of the Martin-Incognito case emerged. “I can’t speak for anybody else.”

While no one on the Dolphins was critical of Martin, the Miami players who talked to the media on Monday were far more vocal in defense of Incognito than on behalf of Martin.

Dolphins rookie cornerback Will Davis said about Incognito: “He’s a funny guy. Everybody loves him.”

Among the many missing details is what — and when — Dolphins coach Joe Philbin knew about the MartinIncognito relationship, because he did not intervene. Philbin says he was unaware until last weekend, when a representative of Martin’s complained to the team.

On Monday, Philbin declined to answer a question about the locker-room culture in Miami.

THANKSGIVING

Do-ahead spuds save time, sanity

Holiday Pie Mania comes back for second helpings to benefit The Food Depot

By Sara Moulton

The Associated Press

One of the most stressful parts of hosting a large dinner party is figuring out how to time everything so all the food arrives at the table piping hot and at its prime.

This is especially true of Thanksgiving — the dinner party to end all dinner parties. Getting everything timed right is a crazy juggling act, even if you make good use of the turkey resting time to finish prepping the other dishes.

Traditional mashed potatoes pose a special problem. You can try making them ahead of time, then reheating them at the last minute, but then they tend to taste stale. Theoretically, you can make them from scratch as the clock ticks down, but good luck pulling that rabbit out of a hat while you’re simultaneously whipping up a pan gravy and finishing off your sides in a kitchen full of hovering relatives.

Here’s my solution — cook and mash the potatoes without any seasonings or dairy the day before, then pop them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve them, nuke them and add the dairy at the last minute.

Why does this work? Because it’s the reheated butter and milk or cream than causes the off flavors. Leave those out until the potatoes are already reheated and you’re good to go.

There are three tools for mashing a potato: the food mill, the potato masher and the potato ricer. The ricer, designed like a potato-sized garlic press, is my favorite of the three.

Of course, if you have none of these gadgets in your house, you can just use a fork.

But whatever you do, do not put the hot, cooked potatoes in a food processor, blender or mixer. You will end up with wallpaper paste.

MAKE-AHEAD MASHED POTATOES Total time: 1 day plus 1 hour and 20 minutes (20 minutes active), makes 10 servings 10 small to medium russet potatoes (about 5 pounds) 1 to 1½ cups low-fat milk 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 chunks Salt and ground black pepper Preparation: Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Use a paring knife to prick the potatoes in several places. Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake on the oven’s middle shelf until a knife goes through with no resistance, about 45 to 50 minutes. After they are baked, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

Use a spoon to scoop out the pulp from each potato half and transfer it, in batches, to a ricer or a food mill fitted with the finest blade. Force the potatoes through the ricer or mill into a microwave-safe bowl. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

Just before serving, microwave the potatoes, covered loosely with plastic wrap, for 2 minutes. Stir and heat for another minute. Repeat the procedure until the potatoes are hot. Stir in 1 cup of the milk, the sour cream, the butter, and salt and pepper to taste, then heat for another minute, or until hot. Thin with additional milk if you prefer a lighter softer texture. Serve immediately.

here is nothing easy about pie. We’ve heard the myth that pie is something simple; something that without much thought can be thrown together out of cupboard staples and old fruit. But anyone who has tried to make the perfect pie with a flaky crust, an optimally textured filling and one of those highly artistic lattice tops knows that it takes a lot longer than, say, buying a box of gelato bars and renting a movie.

Pies are deeply ingrained in the American consciousness. They are de rigueur for holidays, especially in winter when somehow we are expected to both shop endlessly for Christmas gifts and cut out whimsical pie crust shapes with our ample free time. No wonder, then, that so much pie obfuscation goes on. “Did you make that from scratch?” our loved ones will ask, suspiciously eyeing the edges of the pie pan for signs that the pie was purchased and then carefully moved from the factory pan to the ceramic one they bought you last year for Christmas as a not-too-subtle hint that perhaps you might bake your own if you really loved them. And if you’ve managed to artfully distress the pie so that it looks just imperfect enough to pass as homemade, you might What: Holiday Pie Mania pull it off.

At Holiday Pie Mania, a bevy of chefs from some of Santa Fe’s premiere restaurants put their whisks on the line and perform cooking demos on the spot, preparing their

pies for delighted onlookers, who then get to sample the goods and even bid on pies for the upcoming holidays.

According to Michele Ostrove, the president of Wings Media Network, former New Mexican food editor Rob DeWalt, who suggested that it might be fun to have a pie event for the holidays, planted the seed for Holiday Pie Mania last year. “Last year, we discovered it was a winwin,” Ostrove said, “for the public, for the charity, for the appliance gallery, and for the chefs who get to show off and interact with the public personally and market themselves. From the chefs’ standpoint, it brings people into their restaurants.” Since then, the event has expanded to Albuquerque and El Paso.

Holiday Pie Mania is a charity event, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to benefit The Food Depot, an organization that distributes food to Northern New Mexican families in need. Last year, the event was free, but this year, organizers wanted to boost the benefit for The Food Depot and added an entrance fee of $5 in advance or $7 at the door.

For that single-digit price, guests can come in, eat their fill of pie and ice cream, watch chefs prepare their dishes, and even take home the recipes to wrestle with at home.

When each pie is done, it’s cut up for tasting and then “virtually auctioned off” by local chef and cooking instructor Johnny Vee. Auction winners can then order the pie they won for the upcoming holidays and pick it up right beforehand. “It’s chaotic, let me tell you,” Ostrove said, “with Johnny Vee walking around with a microphone, bringing people to all the stations … and then he does an auction on the spot when each pie is ready.”

Participants this year include Jambo Café, Swiss Bakery, Terra at the Four Seasons Rancho Encantado and Momo & Co., to name a few, assuring a wide variety of pie types. In addition to the cornucopia of dessert pies, quiche all will be served — so you can tell yourself that you’re getting a well-rounded meal. And when you’ve had all the pie you can stand, you can still participate in the raffle for prizes, such as dinner at the Four Seasons, small appliances and alcohol from Santa Fe Spirits — all to benefit The Food Depot.

“And who doesn’t like pie?” Ostrove asked. “I have just discovered that people go just crazy for pie.” And this year, you won’t even have to lie about it.

Dallas dwelling where Lee Harvey Oswald stayed before JFK assassination opens as museum

RVING, Texas — Baby bottles sit on the kitchen counter in this small two-bedroom home in the Dallas suburb of Irving, just as they would have on Nov. 22, 1963.

Also the same: the rolled-up blanket where Lee Harvey Oswald had stored his rifle among the stacked boxes in the garage.

The home that once belonged to Ruth Paine, the woman who befriended Oswald’s wife and let her live there with her two young daughters, has been restored and opened Wednesday as a museum. It will be the first time the public’s had a look inside and comes as the nation marks the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in downtown Dallas.

“The whole story is now kind of larger than life,” said Kevin Kendro, archives coordinator for the city of Irving, which runs the Ruth Paine House Museum. “It started here in a little house where average stuff was going on.”

The night before Kennedy’s assassination, Oswald made a surprise visit, as he usually saw his family on weekends. When he left the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, investigators say, he was carrying a brown paper package that held the disassembled rifle.

That day, Marina Oswald and Paine did laundry and cared for their young children like normal while watching coverage of the presidential visit. But a few hours after the assassination, Kendro said, “the police were

knocking on their door and their lives were changed forever after that.”

Paine, 81, now lives in California. She visited her old home Monday, and said she was brought to tears by the museum’s re-creation of the washing machine she and Marina once used.

“We spent a lot of time washing,” said Paine, who befriended the Russian-born Marina Oswald in February 1963.

The 1,250-square-foot house allows visitors to step back in time. Toys are scattered in a corner of the living room floor, and in the kitchen, dishes are drying beside the sink.

In some of the rooms, projections onto glass panes show actors recreating scenes, including one in which a police officer asks Paine whether Lee Harvey Oswald had a gun. She replies “no,” and then translates the question into Russian for Marina. Paine

is taken aback when Marina Oswald replies that yes, he does, and kept it wrapped in a blanket in the garage.

Paine lived in the house until 1966, and over the decades, it had several owners before the city bought it in 2009. After a renter’s lease expired in 2011, Irving began restoring the home, which included everything from replacing windows to the garage door.

The knotty pine cabinetry in the kitchen remained untouched over the decades, and one piece of furniture has been returned to the house: the Hi-Fi speaker belonging to Paine’s husband, whom she’d amicably separated from by the time Marina Oswald moved in.

Otherwise, city workers pored over photos from Paine, Life magazine and the Warren Commission as they searched for similar items everywhere, said Shirley Smith, the city’s capital improvement program coordinator.

Tours start at Irving’s Central Library, where visitors are greeted by a bank of television sets that include one playing interviews with Paine. Documents are also on display, including a letter from Paine inviting Marina Oswald to dinner and her response.

Visitors are then taken by van to the nearby house, where a large oak tree still stands in the front yard where Lee Harvey Oswald played with his 21-month-old old daughter, June, the night before Kennedy was killed.

SAN FRANCISCO — A new Native American casino in California’s wine country, opening Tuesday, features Las Vegas, Nev.-style gambling with 3,000 slot and video poker machines, blackjack and other card games just 50 miles north of San Francisco.

The $800 million Graton Resort & Casino in Sonoma County is owned by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria.

“We’ve built it for convenience, access and accessibility, and then we’ve added quality to a level the market has not seen before,” said Joe Hasson, the casino’s general manager.

California has more than 60 Native American casinos that produced about $6.9 billion in revenue in 2011, according to a recent report about the industry by economist Alan Meister.

Revenue grew by about 1.6 percent in 2011 after three years of declines, Casino City’s Indian Gaming Report showed.

Graton is 30 miles south of River Rock Casino, also in Sonoma County. There also are several large Native American casinos in the Sacramento region.

But there is still room for growth in California’s gambling market, particularly in populous coastal counties, said I. Nelson Rose, a professor at Whittier Law School in Costa Mesa and an expert in gambling law.

“We’re clearly not reaching the saturation point,” he said.

The less than 45-minute drive to Graton from the Golden Gate Bridge is among the casino’s advantages, giving it access to the entire Bay Area, Hasson said.

Graton has flooded the region with ads, including television spots.

The 340,000-square-foot casino also will feature four full-service restaurants, nine casual dining options and three lounges. It will create full-time employment for more than 2,000 people. The casino will be managed by Las Vegas-based Station Casinos.

For the 1,300-member Graton Rancheria tribe, the casino comes after years of lobbying, negotiation and reviews.

The tribe of Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo descent had its federal recognition restored by an act of Congress in 2000. It signed a gambling compact with the state last year and successfully fought off a lawsuit by opponents who argued that a road-widening project was not exempt from state requirements for an environmental study and would endanger the threatened California tiger salamander. Casino critics, more generally, raise concerns about gambling addictions and other social problems.

Cheryl Schmit with the group Stand Up For California said the state needs to pay close attention to the social and economic impacts of casinos when negotiating compacts with tribes, particularly given the potential for more casinos in the state.

“When you have these facilities foisted on the state, those compacts need to include judicially enforceable local agreements,” Schmit said.

The Graton agreement, overall, has “significant” regulations attached to it, including protections for employees and casino patrons, she said.

The tribe, additionally, will contribute $25 million to county parks and open space and has agreed not to develop a casino on any other land it acquires in Marin or Sonoma counties, said Greg Sarris, tribal council chairman.

“What we feel as much as gratitude is profound responsibility to use this opportunity to mold a future not just for our youth and our people, but for nonIndians as well,” he said.

In addition to paying down its debt, the tribe in the short run will put more money into programs that help poor and elderly members, he said.

Patterns inspired by Sonoma County flowers are shown on a custom-woven carpet inside the Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park, Calif.

ERIC RISBERG/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

White House tours resume after seven-month hiatus WASHINGTON — Hoping to snag a glimpse of the inside of the White House, the first dog or even first lady Michelle Obama? Now may be your chance.

The White House resumed public tours on Tuesday, seven months after they were suspended due to government-wide spending cuts.

President Barack Obama and Mrs. Obama surprised a group that made it in on the first day, greeting and hugging a long line of visitors in the Blue Room. Even one of Obama’s dogs, Sunny, joined in.

The self-guided tours are resuming on a limited basis of about three days a week, down from five.

They’ll run through Jan. 15, when temporary funding runs out.

The White House says visitors who want to request a public tour should contact their member of Congress.

According to the Petition, Blue Jay will provide service, through resale agreements with intermediaries, using underlying carrier services provided

by Sprint and TMobile.

Blue Jay states that, as required by the Act, it will advertise the availability and prices of its services in a manner reasonably designed to reach Lifeline-eligible consumers using media of general distribution. Blue Jay says it will expand its advertising efforts as necessary to ensure that Lifeline-eligible customers are aware of its service offerings.

Husband says he wants more intimacy Dear Annie: My wife and I have been happily married for 27 years.

We are both in our early 50s, physically fit and active. My wife looks the same today as the day we married.

She’s extremely attractive. The problem? She has no sex drive. She never really has. But in the past few years, her cold shoulders seem much more pronounced.

We currently have sex maybe once every two weeks. She seems to enjoy it once things get rolling. But when I ask why she prefers such infrequent encounters, she says “it’s too much work” and she “doesn’t have the need for it” like I do. The two times per month are great. But the other 28 days are frustrating. I would like more intimacy in our marriage and have asked her for it. But it doesn’t seem to be an issue with her, and she’s not particularly sensitive to my needs.

Any advice would be appreciated.

— Frustrated in South Dakota Dear Frustrated: Since your wife started marriage with a diminished libido, it’s unlikely to have improved at this point. Please ask her to discuss this with her doctor in order to strengthen your marriage. She should be willing to make the effort, but if she refuses to address this, we hope you will not make sex the focus of your relationship. If your wife has other qualities that make her a good partner, try to concentrate on those. We know many folks — male and female — would be thrilled to have sex twice a month. Intimacy is important, but it isn’t everything.

Dear Annie: As a self-employed hairstylist facing the upcoming flu season, I would like to speak on behalf of all personal service providers. Most of us work on a commission basis and do not have sick leave.

If we are not at work, we don’t get paid. If we get sick from clients, we miss work and run the risk of infect-

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You express yourself through your body language and expressions. Even in a talk, you might not choose to reveal your thoughts. Tonight: Buy a few necessities on the way home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You know what to say, but you might prefer to say nothing right now. You rarely reveal your more emotional side. Tonight: Where the fun is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might not be comfortable with a project, a key person and/or yourself.

You’ll need to take some time to sort through what is bothering you. Tonight: Make it early.

Hocus Focus

ing our fellow employees and our families.

Last year my Christmas holiday was ruined when I became sick because clients with fevers dragged themselves to the salon to get their hair done. Several coughed right in my face. They’ve taken every overthe-counter drug on the market and can hardly keep their eyes open, but still think it’s OK to sit in my chair.

If your child is too sick to go to school, please don’t decide it’s a good day to get their hair cut because they’re home anyway.

If you are sick (sore throat, coughing, fever), please respect us and stay home. If you come in anyway, and we can see that you are sick, do not get insulted and storm off when we say we will not be able to perform your service that day. We’ll be happy to do it when you are better. — Stylist Trying To Stay Well Dear Stylist: Thank you for reminding people that we each have a responsibility to take our health and that of others seriously. If you have a fever, cough, sniffles or other indication that you may be contagious, please stay home. You’ll feel better — and so will everyone else.

Dear Annie: I’d suggest to “Any Name in Any City” that whatever is going on between her and her husband probably has nothing to do with her weight. I agree with you, Annie, that he is a bully and a verbal abuser.

My husband, an alcoholic, was both verbally and physically abusive to me when I was a petite 127 pounds after two children. I finally got him into treatment and myself out of the marriage. He dated 13 women in a year and then married a woman twice my size. Something else is going on, and you may never know what it is. Life is short. Get out.
