Jury selection is scheduled to begin Thursday in the criminal case against Advantage Asphalt and Seal Coating owners Joseph Anthony Montoya and Marlene Montoya who, along with their firm, are accused of defrauding Santa Fe County out of about $1 million.

The firm was awarded about $7 million worth of

public employees to get contracts, falsified documents and may have charged the county for work completed by using the county’s own labor and materials.

A grand jury indicted the Montoyas and their firm in 2012. Each faces dozens of felony charges including fraud, bribery and conspiracy.

When the allegations first came to light nearly five years ago, they caused a shake-up in the Santa Fe County administration.

Frequent 911 callers would get visits to address health issues

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

A proposal unveiled Wednesday that would enable paramedics to provide preventive care to people who repeatedly call 911 could help change the landscape of health care in Santa Fe, city officials said.

Under the Community Protection Initiative, paramedics in the city’s fire department would schedule home visits with frequent 911 callers and conduct health care assessments in an effort to reduce their need for emergency care.

The effort could include making sure medications are being taken as prescribed, identifying tripping hazards in the home and connecting those with psychiatric issues to behavioral health counselors and other resources.

The fire department initiative would complement a program at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center aimed at reducing the number of repeat visitors to the hospital’s emergency room, and it is modeled after similar efforts across the country. It was proposed by Fire Chief Erik Litzenberg, who gave firefighter paramedic Andres Mercado

Obama offers aid to young Indians President wants to help Native Americans prepare for college, jobs

WASHINGTON — Pledging to fulfill a “sacred responsibility,” President Barack Obama unveiled an initiative Wednesday aimed at improving dire conditions and creating opportunities for American Indian youth, more than a third of whom live in poverty.

Obama’s Generation Indigenous initiative calls for programs focused on better preparing young American Indians for college and careers, and developing leadership skills through the Department of Education and the Aspen Institute’s Center for Native American Youth. Members of the president’s staff also plan to visit reservations next year.

“Nothing gets me angrier than when I get a sense that our young people early in life are already feeling like opportunities are foreclosed to them,” Obama said. “Because that’s not who we are.”

TAOS — Taos resident Donna Motsinger and her husband have always been avid media watchers and readers.

But for decades, whenever Bill Cosby appeared on the television screen or was mentioned in the newspaper, Motsinger and her husband made a point to flip the channel or turn the page.

Last week, Motsinger, 73, became one of the latest women to come forward with accusations of rape against the comedian and actor. She said Cosby drugged and raped her in 1972, when she was working in a restaurant in California.

Motsinger, who moved to Taos with her husband in 1977, spoke with The Taos News about her decision to go public with her story and what she hopes other women will gain from it.

Motsinger said that at the time of the alleged incident, she was working at a Sausalito, Calif., restaurant that was “the place for famous people to go.” Cosby, who was already a big star at the time, came into the restaurant, and that’s where the two met, she said.

Motsinger didn’t want to repeat further details of the alleged incident, because she said such details aren’t important. Rather, she said that by going public, her name can be yet another among a growing list of

Obama, McConnell hold rare one-on-one meeting WASHINGTON — In a rare one-on-one meeting, President Barack Obama and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday sized up the prospects for bipartisan cooperation between a White House and Republican Party that have struggled for years to find common ground.

Ahead of the Oval Office meeting, Obama said he expected Republicans to attempt to dismantle his recent executive orders on immigration.

McConnell, the Kentucky lawmaker who is soon to become Senate majority leader, has broadly agreed with Obama’s calls for tax reform, improving the nation’s infrastructure and inking free trade pacts.

Neither McConnell nor Obama spoke publicly after their hour-long meeting Wednesday.

The senator’s office said Wednesday’s meeting marked just the third time the two men have met face-to-face without other lawmakers.

17 states file federal lawsuit over immigration action

Air bag maker Takata balks at nationwide recall

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas and 16 other states filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday challenging President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration, arguing that he had violated his constitutional duty to enforce the laws and illegally placed new burdens on state budgets.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Brownsville, Texas, was the first major legal challenge to initiatives Obama announced Nov. 20 that will provide protection from deportation and work permits to up to 5 million immigrants here illegally. Other states joining the lawsuit were Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Mississippi and Maine.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Japan’s Takata Corp. rejected federal regulators’ demand Wednesday for an expanded, nationwide recall of millions of air bags, setting up a possible legal showdown and leaving some drivers to wonder about the safety of their cars.

Amid the standoff, Honda Motor Co. decided to act on its own and recall cars with the potentially defective equipment in all 50 states. But other automakers have yet to make a decision.

At issue are air bags whose inflators can explode with too much force, hurling shrapnel into the passenger compartment. At least five deaths and dozens of injuries have been linked to the problem worldwide.

Over the past six years, Takata and 10 automakers issued a series of recalls covering 8 million cars in the U.S., mostly in high-humidity areas such as the Gulf Coast, because of evidence that moisture can cause the propellant to burn too quickly. But after incidents in California and North Carolina, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began pressing for the recall of 8 million more vehicles from coast to coast — a demand that Takata flatly rejected.

“There’s not enough scientific evidence to change from a regional recall to a national recall,” Hiroshi Shimizu, Takata senior vice president of global quality assurance, told a House subcommittee on Capitol Hill.

Takata also contends that NHTSA has authority to seek recalls only from auto manufacturers and makers of replacement parts, not from original parts suppliers — a position NHTSA contests.

Shimizu insisted that the air bags are safe: “I would drive a car with a Takata air bag.”

David Friedman, NHTSA deputy administrator, said he was “deeply disappointed” by Takata’s response.

The agency is now gathering proof that a recall is needed, which it will present at a public hearing. After that, NHTSA could order Takata to undertake a recall, and could take the company to court if it refuses. But Friedman

Medicare Advantage enrollment deadline looms Millions of Medicare Advantage customers are fast approaching a deadline for a task they’d rather avoid: Researching and then settling on coverage plans for 2015.

The annual enrollment window for the privately run versions of the government’s Medicare program for the elderly and disabled people closes on Sunday. This is the main opportunity most customers have each year to adjust their health coverage. Insurers frequently tweak their coverage plans from year to year, but brokers say they’re seeing more changes over the past few years.

About 4 percent of Medicare Advantage enrollees, roughly 480,000 people, will have to find new coverage for 2015 because their current plan won’t exist, according the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation.

acknowledged that could take months. “It’s time for industry to step up,” Friedman told lawmakers. “Until [Takata] and automakers act, affected drivers won’t be protected.”

The stalemate is likely to add to the confusion among car owners, many of whom are already bewildered because some of the recalls have covered driver’s-side air bags, while others applied to passenger-side air bags, and a few covered both. The NHTSA-demanded recalls would involve driver’s-side air bags.

Drivers whose cars have been recalled should have received notices in the mail. A driver can also key in the vehicle’s identification number at www.safercar.gov or call the dealer to see if the car is covered.

But for those outside the recall zone who want to know if their air bags are safe, things get trickier. It’s difficult to tell if a car has a Takata air bag inflator. Car owners can try asking their dealer, but even they may not know.

Honda is Takata’s largest customer, but the company also made air bags for Ford, Chrysler, Mazda and BMW. Mazda said Wednesday that it will probably expand its recall, while BMW said it is evaluating the situation.

Ford and Chrysler both expanded passenger air bag recalls on Wednesday to include states outside of the initial high-humidity zones. But neither automaker recalled additional driver’s side air bag inflators, as Honda did.

Lawmakers expressed frustration that, after a decade, Takata still isn’t certain about the cause of the explosions. They also questioned whether the replacement air bags made by Takata will be safe. Takata said it has tested 1,057 inflators taken from locations outside the high-humidity zone, and none of them ruptured.

Wednesday’s hearing was the second in Congress regarding Takata air bags.

WASHINGTON — The House has overwhelmingly passed a bill to allow Americans with disabilities to open tax-free bank accounts to pay for certain long-term expenses. The 404-17 vote on Wednesday approves the most sweeping legislation to help the disabled since 1990, affecting as many as 54 million people. It now goes to the Senate, which was expected to move quickly in favor next week. The legislation was striking for its wide-ranging support, with 85 percent of Congress listed as co-sponsors. Under the measure, families would be able to set up tax-free savings accounts at financial institutions to pay for expenses such as education, housing and health care.

LIMA, Peru — With temperature data showing 2014 currently tied for the hottest year on record, the U.N. weather agency on Wednesday rejected claims that global warming has paused.

The World Meteorological Organization said the global average temperature in January to October was 1.03 degrees above average, the same as in record hot year 2010.

The ocean temperature set a new record in the nine-month period, while land temperatures were the fourth or fifth highest since recordkeeping began in the 19th century, the WMO said in a report released at U.N. climate talks in Lima and at its headquarters in Geneva.

“The provisional information for 2014 means that 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have all occurred in the 21st century,” WMO SecretaryGeneral Michel Jarraud said in a statement. “There is no standstill in global warming.”

Climate skeptics point to a perceived hiatus in the temperature rise since 1998, an exceptionally hot year, to support their claims that manmade warming is not a big problem.

Most climate scientists reject that idea. Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton University said the longterm warming trend is combined with natural variations that tend to be cyclical, with a period of lowerthan-average warming followed by a period of rapid warming.

“Whether such a period is about to begin, we cannot say but the warm 2014 is a reminder that the warming never stopped and the long term trend is up, up, up,” Oppenheimer said.

Parts of the planet were cooler than average, including large areas of the U.S., Canada and central Russia.

But most of the world experienced temperatures above average, with heat waves in South Africa, Australia and Argentina in January and in large parts of South America in October, according to the WMO assessment, which was based on two global data sets from the U.S. and one from Europe.

In Lima, delegates from more than 190 countries are trying to lay the groundwork for a global emissions pact that’s planned to be adopted next year. Divisions between rich and poor countries have slowed the negotiations over the years, but a U.S.-China emissions deal last month has injected new hope into the talks.

U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres said temperature data added urgency to the talks, but noted that you don’t have to be a scientist to realize that the climate is changing.

A video shot by an onlooker and widely viewed on the Internet showed the 43-year-old Garner telling a group of police officers to leave him alone as they tried to arrest him.

Critics of the outcome in Ferguson — where a grand jury refused last week to indict a white police officer who shot unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown — complained that prosecutors there allowed the officer to give a self-serving account.

FERGUSON, Mo. — The stepfather of Michael Brown has apologized for angry comments he made after the grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who killed his stepson, but said his remarks had nothing to do with the arson and looting that ravaged Ferguson and the surrounding area.

Louis Head said Wednesday in a statement that he was full of emotion on the night of Nov. 24, when he yelled “Burn this bitch down!” in a crowd of protesters.

St. Louis County police said Tuesday they are investigating Head’s comments as part of a broader inquiry into the arson, vandalism and looting. Twelve commercial buildings were destroyed in the hours after

the grand jury decision.

Brown, 18, was shot and killed by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. Wilson, who is white, told the grand jury he fired because his life was in danger.

Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, was on top of a car on a Ferguson street when she heard the grand jury announcement. She began sobbing. Her husband jumped on top of the car and hugged her, then yelled out.

Remy Cross, a criminologist at Webster University in suburban St. Louis, said he would be surprised if Head is criminally charged, especially considering the emotional distress he was under at the time.

Trial: S.F. County official made plea deal Continued from Page A-1 ment and admitted to accepting free trips to Las Vegas, Nev., and cash bribes from the Montoyas.

He also agreed to testify as a witness.

Then county manager Roman Abeyta, who had worked for the county for nearly 20 years, resigned about a month after the investigation became public, though he denied any connection between the two events.

The scandal also spilled over to the city of Santa Fe, with Councilor Matthew Ortiz being fined by the city’s ethics board for not disclosing his position as the firm’s attorney while voting to approve contracts with Advantage.

The city, which had awarded the firm nearly $5 million worth of contracts in the years leading up to the indictments, conducted an audit of those transactions and declared that no fraud was found.

Joseph Anthony Montoya, a former public employee union president, and his wife were movers and shakers in local politics for years before being accused of defrauding the county. Their indictment cast a shadow on other city and county officials who had close dealings with them in the past.

For example, City Councilor Carmichael Dominguez found himself fielding questions about his connection to Marlene Montoya, who had served as treasurer for his 2010 campaign.

Dominguez said he was friends with the couple but hadn’t spoken to them in years.

Witness lists for the case include names familiar to those involved with city and county government. Among the names is former Santa Fe County Sheriff Greg Solano, who began the

Also on the list is city Public Works Director Ike Pino, who was general manager at SunCor New Mexico Inc., a homebuilding business in Rancho Viejo, at a time when Advantage Asphalt was doing much of the work for the subdivision south of town.

Another possible witness is Jon Paul Romero, a former County Commission candidate and current Pojoaque Valley School Board member who had worked for Advantage.

Retired District Judge James Hall, who was appointed to hear the case after every other judge in the First Judicial District recused themselves or was excused by a party to the case, will preside over the trial, which is expected to last about three weeks.

100 people out of work in Santa Fe,” Bregman said Tuesday. “We are looking forward to trial.”

The Montoyas have been the target of other court actions in recent years.

In 2011, the IRS filed a tax lien against the couple’s property, claiming the Montoyas owed more than $300,000 in unpaid income taxes.

In 2012, the state Environment Department fined them about $800,000 for mishandling asbestos waste in Bloomfield and revoked their hauling permit, then sued the firm again for not paying the fine. The parties eventually agreed to a settlement that called for Advantage Asphalt to pay about $75,000.

In 2013, sheriff’s deputies seized dozens of vehicles from the Montoyas — including dump trucks, backhoes and graders — as part of a foreclosure case brought by Century Bank, which claimed the couple had defaulted on about $1.4 million worth of loans.

In February, Santa Fe County sued Advantage Asphalt and the Montoyas, saying their unauthorized installation of a culvert caused flooding and drainage problems.

Last month, Community Bank filed foreclosure documents against the Montoyas and all their companies, including A&M Bobcat Rental, Infinite Ambitions LLC and Next Generation Contracting Inc., claiming the couple defaulted on a $2.7 million loan they had obtained to develop lots in the Tierra Vista Subdivision.

That court action seeks to foreclose on the couple’s La Cienega home.

Fe County, will be presented during the trial. Some of that evidence was introduced during preliminary hearings held last month.

Hall has yet to make a final ruling on a defense request for a change of venue in the case. He said during a recent hearing that two jury pools — more than 300 potential jurors — will be made available for attorneys to choose from when selecting a 12-person jury with alternates. If the parties still can’t select a jury, he said, he’ll reconsider the request for a change of venue.

District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco and about five other lawyers from her office will represent the state.

Albuquerque attorney and former state Democratic Party chairman Sam Bregman is lead counsel for the Montoyas.

Pacheco declined to comment on the case this week.

Bregman said his clients are looking forward to their day in court. “These false charges have Contact Phaedra Haywood at 986-3068 or phaywood@ ruined their business, ruined sfnewmexican.com. their reputation and put over

Care: Mayor, ex-fire chief plan to introduce resolution next week Continued from Page A-1 credit for taking it to another level.

“In terms of initiatives that I’ve seen come from the fire department, come from the city, this one clearly is a no-brainer,” Litzenberg said. “There’s no question in my mind that there will be huge benefit to the community and to us as people.

Clearly, it’s transformative to those who we’ve touched already.”

Mayor Javier Gonzales announced the initiative during a news conference outside Fire Station No. 7 on Richards Avenue.

Now, the mayor said, medical services provided by the fire department are “transactional”: “You have somebody who calls 911. Our paramedics go to the home, pick them up, transport them to the [hospital emergency room],” he said.

“This program is what I’m calling transformational. It’s about evolving from being a medical transport to being a health care giver in the home in ways that will improve the quality of life of individuals.”

The mayor and City Councilor Chris Rivera, a former fire chief, plan to introduce a resolution next week asking the City Council to approve “further development” of the proposed initiative, including identifying startup costs and sources of funding.

The goal is to bring a final plan for the program back to the council for adoption in the spring and have the initiative funded and ready to go before the start of the next fiscal year July 1.

“There will be costs associated with this program,” Gonzales said. “But we’re also wanting to look to the community providers, the foundations in

this town that are focused on making sure that communities have access to high-quality care.

There’s no doubt in the long run that we are going to be able to reduce the costs associated with health care in our community.

More importantly, we’re going to raise the level of quality of care that’s given to every citizen.”

Kathy Armijo Etre, Christus St. Vincent’s vice president of mission and community health, touted the success of the similar program at the hospital. “Our HUGS [High Utilizer Group Services] program takes the top 25 highest utilizers of the ER,” she said.

“We take that population and we do very intensive outreach and case management, similar kinds of things where we connect people up. We’ve been able to reduce the utilization of that population in the ER by 36 percent in six months and then

increase their outpatient utilization by 120 percent.”

Under a pilot project over the past several months, the fire department said it has seen success with people who were frequently dialing 911.

As an example, firefighters pointed to work with an elderly man who was taking three times the amount of blood pressure medication he was supposed to take.

“We were able to get him the correct medications, get him to become compliant,” said Mercado, who has been helping lead the initiative. “He hasn’t called 911 since May, and before that, he had been calling 911 regularly.”

Alissa Harden, 47, said she and her 12-year-old daughter benefited greatly from the pilot project.

Harden said she called 911 at least six times over two years because of panic attacks. She

said she called emergency responders primarily because she lacked transportation.

“We had nobody,” she said.

A knock on the door from Mercado saved her life, Harden said. “I was literally wanting to jump off the roof,” she said.

With Mercado’s help, Harden was able to get a primary care doctor and other services for herself and her daughter, she said.

“He is my angel,” Harden said.

“I love him. I would adopt him as my son.”

Harden’s story is not unique.

Last year, Santa Fe firefighters responded to more than 10,000 911 calls. Of those, more than 250 callers dialed 911 more than four times.

“One of those individuals called 72 times last year,” Mercado said, adding that 0.3 percent of the city’s population made up 18 percent of the city’s 911 calls last year.

The fire department has 160 uniformed personnel. Of those, about 60 are paramedics, half of whom staff ambulance crews.

The initiative was lauded by several people who attended Wednesday’s announcement, including emergency room doctors and health care providers from the Southwest CARE Center and Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center.

Jeff Thomas, Southwest CARE Center’s executive director, called the initiative innovative, responsive and forwardthinking.

“This is about relationship building and engaging folks in their living spaces, where they are the most vulnerable,” he said.

Funds: Española needs jobs, Los Alamos unable to fill openings Continued from Page A-1 casino-hotel and a Wal-Mart.

“There’s more workers than there are jobs,” said Dennis Salazar, who owns a liquor store. Average per-capita income in Rio Arriba: $20,000, well below half Los Alamos County’s average of $50,740.

The contrast highlights an unusual wealth gap in New Mexico.

Unlike other states, the richest residents of New Mexico work mainly in the public sector, while almost everyone else is employed in the private sector.

That dynamic is both a blessing and a curse. Federal dollars, along with the energy industry in southeastern New Mexico, have fueled the state’s economy for decades.

Besides Los Alamos, where the atomic bomb was developed, the state is home to Sandia National Laboratories, three Air Force bases, the Army’s White Sands Missile Range and several national forests and parks. In all, according to a study by the Pew Charitable Trust’s Fiscal Federalism Initiative, about 35 percent of New Mexico’s economy comes from

the federal government — the highest such figure for any state.

But critics say an inability to diversify the economy has exacerbated income disparities. They say that at a time of tight federal budgets, the state can no longer afford to stake its economic future on government spending. Unless New Mexico can attract new industries, workers will have to settle for whatever lower-paying government jobs are available or for low-wage work in the service industry, according to political leaders and experts on the state’s economy.

“The rest of the nation is subsidizing New Mexico,” said Jake Arnold, a political consultant and longtime New Mexican.

“It’s like the Third World. … All these people are fighting over crumbs.”

The issue was a key topic in this fall’s governor’s race, with Republican Gov. Susana Martinez insisting in one debate that “we have to diversify … and make sure that there are jobs of all kinds.” Martinez said she cut business taxes to spark the creation of more private-sector jobs.

But so far, large-scale jobcreation efforts have faltered.

In September, the state lost out to Nevada for a Tesla battery factory that officials say could have created 22,000 jobs over the next two decades and might have pumped billions into that state’s economy.

Then there’s Spaceport America in southern Sierra County, the venture of entrepreneur Richard Branson that was supposed to lure both jobs and tourism dollars. Instead, like much of New Mexico, Sierra County is losing rather than gaining private-sector jobs, according to data from the state Labor Department. The futuristic building and runway sit nearly empty, waiting for Virgin Galactic to make good on what have been annual projections since 2010 to launch its $250,000-per-person space tourism flights “by the end of the year.”

The breakup Oct. 31 of its experimental rocket-powered spaceship over the California desert has raised new doubts about whether the space-tourism flights will ever happen.

Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides has said that the company could resume test flights as early as next summer if it can finish building a

replacement craft.

“I think we gave up on all that a long time ago,” said Stephanie Ontiveros, who works at the Butte General Store and Marine in Sierra County, which raised its taxes to help support Spaceport.

It’s now among the New Mexico counties with the lowest average wages, and, like Rio Arriba, it is plagued by empty buildings and businesses for sale.

New Mexico ranked last among states for job growth from January 2011 through 2013.

It is second, behind Mississippi, in the percentage of its residents living in poverty — a percentage that increased from 20.8 percent in 2012 to 21.9 percent in 2013, Census figures show. It also consistently ranks at or near the bottom of national rankings for education and child welfare.

“What this state really needs to advance economically is workforce training and education that is at least as good as what the surrounding states have,” New Mexico State University economist Jeff Peach said.

Economists and activists say New Mexico has trouble attract-

ing new industries for two major reasons: widespread poverty and low education levels. A study released in mid-November by the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that more than half of New Mexico families with children under the age of 8 are low-income, about one-third of the families are headed by a single parent and more than 10 percent of the families include parents who don’t have high school diplomas.

Family advocacy groups in New Mexico have long said that breaking the cycle of poverty is nearly impossible when families and children are confronted with economic burdens, barriers to educational success and few prospects for high-paying jobs.

While Los Alamos and a few other parts of New Mexico have some of the highest percentages in the nation of doctoral-degree holders in science and engineering, U.S. Census Bureau data show the state is below the national average in the percentage of its adult population that holds a bachelor’s degree.

The private sector did add about 8,000 jobs in the 12-month period that ended in September, according to state

labor reports. More than half the jobs were in education or health services.

Government jobs declined by 1,800 over the same period, with 300 of those losses in the federal sector. Even in Los Alamos, the number of lucrative lab jobs is shrinking along with the federal budget.

And yet in a sea of struggling New Mexicans, Los Alamos, with nearly 18,000 residents, remains an island of prosperity.

Of those ages 25 and above, 63 percent hold at least a bachelor’s degree, compared with 25 percent statewide. More people own homes than the statewide average. And the median home value is far higher: $285,800, compared with $161,500 statewide.

The average salary for jobs at Los Alamos National Laboratory listed on employmentsearch sites is about $70,000 a year, but many high-level scientists and program managers earn six-figure salaries.

Employees at the Sandia National Laboratories, based in Albuquerque, enjoy similar pay doing security-related research for the federal government. But they are spread throughout the sprawling metropolitan area.

Cosby: Woman hopes to raise awareness of rape in community Continued from Page A-1 accusers, and the more accusers there are, the harder it will be for Cosby and his legal team to discredit the allegations.

“My goal was to support the women who were brave enough to be first,” she said.

Motsinger did, however, tell CNN that she went out with Cosby and that he gave her what she thought was an aspirin. She told the network that she blacked out, woke up once in Cosby’s limousine and blacked out a second time.

When she woke up again, she was in her own bed with most of her clothes off, she said.

Rape allegations against Cosby have dominated headlines in recent weeks as more and more women have come forward alleging that he raped and, in many cases, drugged them. Cosby has not been criminally charged in relation to any allegations.

Cosby’s lawyer released a statement last month calling the claims “increasingly ridiculous.”

“It is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years,” part of the statement reads.

But many of the accusers, including Motsinger, were listed as “Jane Does” in a civil lawsuit filed by former Temple University athletic director Andrea Constand in 2005. Motsinger was one of 12 Jane Does listed in the lawsuit.

Cosby’s legal team settled out of court in 2006, and Motsinger says she didn’t see any money out of the lawsuit.

Cosby’s legal counsel later clarified that the statement calling the allegations “ridiculous” “was not intended to refer in any way to Andrea Constand.”

Motsinger said she had heard about the 2005 lawsuit on the news at the time and called Constand’s attorney to find out if she could help.

In 1972, she said, attitudes surrounding rape and rape victims were much different than they are now. She said like many other victims, she blamed herself for what had happened to her, and at the time she wasn’t even aware that Cosby’s alleged actions were illegal.

“There was the moment, and it was done, and I was left to deal with it,” she said.

And that’s what she did in the decades that followed. She said she told her immediate family, including her two sons, but largely kept quiet.

Then in October, comedian Hannibal Buress ignited a media firestorm when he made a joke during a stand-up performance in which he called

Donna Motsinger said like many other victims, she blamed herself for what had happened to her, and at the time she wasn’t even aware that Bill Cosby’s alleged actions were illegal.

Cosby a rapist. In a subsequent interview on National Public Radio, Cosby refused to discuss the allegations, and more and more women, including some celebrities, came forward with allegations against The Cosby Show star.

On Monday, Cosby resigned from the Temple University Board of Trustees; The University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where Cosby had received a master’s degree and doctorate, recently cut ties with the star, CNN reported. NBC canceled plans to develop a sitcom starring Cosby, and Netflix postponed plans to stream a Cosby stand-up special, according to Entertainment Tonight.

Motsinger said that as she watched the frenzy unfold, she felt increasingly guilty for not going public with her story. Then a reporter from the New York Post contacted her via Facebook, asking if she had a story to share about Cosby. Motsinger wrote posts about Cosby on her Facebook page, and she thinks this is what prompted the reporter to write to her. Motsinger said she decided to talk with the reporter and finally come out publicly as another accuser.

After the story was published on the Post’s website Nov. 26, Motsinger said she could barely keep up with the influx of interview requests from media outlets such as CNN, ABC News and CBS. She said this was difficult for her, as she and her husband are generally very private people who live in a small and remote town, but she was willing to talk to most of the reporters who contacted her.

Motsinger was not, however, willing to appear on camera.

She said if she were to go on camera, she would become the focus of the story, and that’s not what she wanted. Rather, she wants to serve as an example to other women who have been victims of sexual assault, and help them feel empowered enough to speak up. She said attitudes surrounding rape have shifted, and that rape victims can feel comfortable coming forward.

“This is for the women in

the community,” Motsinger said. “So they can teach their children, their young girls, how empowered they are.”

Motsinger has two daughtersin-law, a granddaughter and a great-granddaughter whom she said she hopes she can inspire through going public.

Motsinger said she hasn’t received any hateful messages since coming forward, but she has received messages from women saying they were victims of sexual assault and they are grateful for her courage.

Old friends whom she hasn’t spoken with in years have also contacted her to offer words of support.

Malinda Williams, executive director with the local nonprofit Community Against Violence in Taos, which has a 24-hour hotline that women can call if they have been sexually assaulted, told The Taos News that part of the problem is lack of public support for victims. Especially when the accused is beloved and revered, such as Cosby, she said, victims often face retaliation and intimidation from members of the public.

Williams said society has made great strides in the past several decades to provide support and services for victims, but more needs to be done.

“If we could support our survivors when they come forward, it’s a way to stop more rapes from happening,” she said.

Motsinger said at this point, she isn’t interested in seeing charges brought against Cosby.

She would rather see him “just go away.”

Cosby recently did a stand-up performance in Florida, where he received a standing ovation.

She hopes the days of the public idolizing him in this fashion will soon come to an end.

“His lawyer came out and said, ‘this is getting ridiculous,’ and he’s right,” she said. “It’s getting ridiculous on their end.”

This story first appeared in The Taos News, a sister publication of The Santa Fe New Mexican.

State auditor questions failure to act at N.M. charter schools

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Citing the state Public Education Department’s failure to sign a contract for an audit of a charter school under FBI scrutiny, the

State Auditor’s Office has deemed the agency “at risk” and questioned its oversight of charter schools across New Mexico.

In a Dec. 2 letter to Education Secretarydesignate Hanna Skandera, State Auditor Hector Balderas charged that the department failed to act on repeated reports of conflict of interest and financial mismanagement at the Albuquerque-based Southwest Learning Centers, which operates three technology-

centered charter schools for different age groups.

FBI agents this summer raided one of the schools — the Southwest Secondary Learning Center — and seized documents and computers. The action raised questions about misappropriation of funds at the school. Shortly thereafter, school director

CHIMAYÓ — Leona Medina Tiede spent 27 years making tortillas and chatting with visitors to the nearby Santuario de Chimayó. Leona’s Restaurante was a business she loved, said her husband, Dennis Tiede, and she was set to go to work before a stroke and subsequent coma claimed her life Saturday. She was 73.

Medina Tiede was born in Arizona, but she grew up as the eldest of 11 children in Chimayó. She spent much of her time volunteering at the santuario, the centuries-old Catholic shrine that is a destination for thousands of religious pilgrims during Holy Week each spring.

After graduating from high school, Leona she left home for San Diego to Medina Tiede become a nun. But at the convent, her husband said, she fell ill and had to return home.

Though she never became a nun, Medina Tiede’s spirituality remained with her. She served as a Eucharistic minister and a lector. A painting she made of Jesus is displayed at the santuario’s altar.

“The church was her first love,” her husband said.

Medina Tiede’s early illness proved a blessing in disguise. As she waited in a doctor’s office with a friend, she spotted an advertisement by Pan American World Airways seeking stewardesses. She applied and got the job, then spent the next few years traveling across the country. The job also led her to her husband, who worked for the airline.

The two met outside a bus stop in Honolulu, and they married in 1967. They spent a few years running a restaurant in California, where Dennis Tiede’s parents lived, but they also bounced back and forth between California and New Mexico. Tiede said the two eventually agreed that they wanted their children to grow up steeped in Chimayó culture.

In 1977, Tiede said, the two had the good fortune to start working at the food stand adjacent to the santuario, then relocated to the attached home. That’s where Medina Tiede would spend the remainder of her life.

Medina Tiede founded two successful business ventures as she worked at the restaurant. She started bottling her chile sauce because it became so popular, and she started a company that produced flour tortillas in a variety of flavors, such as banana or pesto,

A commitment to youth Bette Booth volunteers to help improve the lives of local children

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

P

araphrasing from the Book of Luke, the late Kansas state senator and radio station owner Alden Booth used to tell his kids, “To those who much is given, much is expected.”

His daughter Bette Booth, who now lives in Santa Fe, recalled that volunteering became a family tradition.

Bette Booth, 64, has worked with city of Santa Fe leaders and young skateboarders to help design the new De Vargas Park; she serves as director of the board for

Earth Works, where she encourages young people to build and maintain a sustainable community; and she helps raise money for Chainbreaker Collective, an environmental justice group that broadens access to affordable transportation and promotes sustainable communities. She’s currently working with city councilors to create a new skate park behind the Genoveva Chavez Community Center. She’s also a member of the Mayor’s Climate Change Task Force.

Booth’s commitment to helping young people and volunteering for various groups and causes — including as chairwoman of

the city’s parks advisory panel — earned her a nod as one of The New Mexican’s 10 Who Made a Difference this year.

The Lawrence, Kan., native may best be known for jokingly sending a bill for more than $325,000 to the city of Santa Fe for six years of volunteer work. After she called for an audit of the city’s spending of a $30.3 million parks bond earlier this year, Mayor David Coss gave her position as chairwoman of the city’s parks advisory panel to another staffer; she responded to Coss’ move by filing the invoice.

New leadership announced at ‘The New Mexican’ The New Mexican

Robin Martin, owner of The Santa Fe New Mexican, announced Wednesday that Ginny Sohn has stepped down as publisher of the 165-year-old newspaper. Tom Cross, the company’s former controller, will take over the position Monday.

“I’ll miss working with Ginny,” said Martin, who announced the change to staff members. “We’ve had a long working relationship, and I appreciate her years of service and her enthusiastic support of the newspaper and the community.”

Sohn, 59, worked at the Santa Fe daily newspaper for 30 years.

She was a longtime advertising director and associate publisher before taking the top leadership position at the paper in April 2012. She helped keep the paper financially stable through difficult economic times that wreaked havoc on the newspaper

industry. Under her leadership, the paper continued to win numerous industry awards, including the state’s top journalism award Tom Cross for general excellence three years in a row.

In a statement, she said she has “confidence that The New Mexican is on a path for success.”

“Our newsroom, our websites, Pasatiempo and the magazines, the advertising and marketing department, our business office, our circulation department and our extraordinary production and printing staff are on a strong foundation,” she wrote. “I believe that working together we have addressed the challenges of the Internet and the recession. It hasn’t been easy, but committed people have made this possible.”

Main office: 983-3303 Late paper: 986-3010 News tips: 986-3035

Cross, also 59, has 30 years of multimedia experience, and has held an array of key management, financial, public relations and Ginny Sohn nonprofit positions during that time in both the private and public sector.

He previously held the positions of publisher at Watsonville, Calif., and division manager for a group of weekly newspapers on the West Coast. He also previously served as group controller for The New Mexican and its sister publications, The Taos News, the Sangre de Cristo Chronicle and the Raton Comet, until leaving in September to run a nonprofit organization in San Jose, Calif. He continued to serve as a financial consultant for the paper.

“I look forward to working with Tom,” Martin said. “He has the skill and leadership to keep this media company moving forward.”

While working as a leader in the media industry, Cross also served as a board member for several nonprofit community organizations, including Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, United Way, chambers of commerce and a local community foundation. He also has volunteered his time to local organizations that feed the homeless.

Cross received a Bachelor of Science in accounting from Northern Illinois University.

He and his wife, Kelly, have two adult sons.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to return to Santa Fe and The New Mexican,” Cross said.

“I look forward to working with Robin and the staff and continuing the newspaper’s tradition of journalistic excellence.”

Hospital, state seek those possibly exposed to measles

By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and the state Department of Health are working to identify patients, staff and visitors who may have been exposed to a measles patient during a two-day stay at the hospital, according to hospital spokesman Arturo Delgado.

The department will then contact those who may have been exposed. The patient, a 1-year-old from Rio Arriba County, was first seen Nov. 25 in the Christus emergency department. After two days of inpatient treatment for an identified respiratory issue, additional tests returned a measles diagnosis. “The hospital followed its established infection control procedures with the patient. The patient received further treatment and was released,” according to hospital spokesman Arturo Delgado.

The child had not yet been immunized against the disease, according to the Health Department. This is the first confirmed measles case in New Mexico since February 2012.

Measles, which has an incubation period of 21 days, has been on the rise across the United States, and so far in 2014, there have been 603 confirmed measles cases reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. This is the highest number of cases since the year 2000, the CDC said.

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by a virus, according to the CDC website. “It spreads through the air through coughing and sneezing. Measles starts with a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat, and is followed by a rash that spreads all over the body. About three out of 10 people who get measles will develop one or more complications including pneumonia, ear infections, or diarrhea,” according to the CDC. In New Mexico, 80 percent to 89 percent of the population has been vaccinated against the measles and other contagious viruses. Those who are immunized or born before 1957 are not at risk.

Adults needing measles vaccine can contact their medical provider or local pharmacy. Children who have no insurance coverage can get the vaccine at their local public health office.

LANL contractor tapped for nuclear waste cleanup Watchdog groups quickly criticize feds’ decision

By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Federal officials said Wednesday that they plan to issue a temporary contract for the removal of nuclear waste at Los Alamos National Laboratory to the same contractor that failed to meet previous cleanup goals.

The officials said they made the decision to avoid any disruption while

cleanup responsibilities are shifted from the National Nuclear Security Administration to the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

Earlier this year, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz announced he would pull cleanup operations from the National Nuclear Security Administration, the federal agency that oversees waste cleanup at the lab, after a barrel of waste packed at Los Alamos leaked and forced the closure of the government’s underground nuclear waste repository in Southern New Mexico.

On Wednesday, agency officials said

they plan to award the short-term contract to Los Alamos National Security to maintain stability during the interim.

LANS is a private company formed eight years ago by Bechtel, Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services, URS Energy and Construction, and the University of California to operate LANL. Watchdog groups quickly criticized the proposal, saying the Energy Department would essentially be rewarding the contractor for its previous failures to meet cleanup goals and for lapses that led to the leak at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, a nuclear dump.

Greg Mello, executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, said it’s “just a shame that DOE puts itself into tighter boxes while continuing with the same contractor.”

“It is a recipe for failure,” Mello said.

Don Hancock of the Southwest Research and Information Center in Albuquerque said the contract should have clear performance and incentive provisions and that Los Alamos National Security should receive less money than it gets under the current contract.

Los Alamos National Security “has been making excessive profits, given its

poor performance, from both its weapons and cleanup activities,” Hancock said. “Any additional funding should be based only on excellent performance.”

The annual budget for legacy cleanup work at the lab is typically around $220 million, but it wasn’t immediately clear how much the short-term contract would be worth.

Los Alamos National Security currently receives $2.2 billion a year under contract to operate the lab for the Department of Energy. Cleaning up the legacy waste is one measure used to determine if the LANS contract is extended.

Oversight: Pressure Matriarch: Loved to chat with customers on since early August Continued from Page A-8

Continued from Page A-8 Scott Glasrud resigned amid allegations that he had a conflict of interest because he personally profited from financial deals between the school and his own private company.

For example, the school had paid $1.1 million to his company to lease airplanes for use in its aviation program.

The State Auditor’s Office has been pressuring the Public Education Department to take action on the charter school since early August, shortly after the FBI raid.

In this week’s letter, Balderas said the department has been mostly unresponsive to requests that officials there sign a contract for a forensic audit of Southwest Learning Centers — one that would involve collecting data for a possible court hearing — by Nov. 5 of this year.

“In the meantime, the schools, oversight agencies and the public have no assurance regarding the resolution of considerable fraud risks,” Balderas wrote, adding that the department’s “delays have engendered skepticism about your capacity to successfully navigate this crisis.”

Evan Blackstone, chief of staff for the State Auditor’s Office, said the agency would not comment on the issue beyond Balderas’ letter, other than to say the office had not yet received the contract as of Wednesday evening.

But Larry Behrens, a spokesman for the Public Education Department, said in an email that officials from the department and the State Auditor’s Office had met and agreed on a timeline for addressing the forensic audit.

“However, it appears other motivations have led to them setting new arbitrary deadlines and changing course from what was agreed upon,” Behrens said in the email. “The contract for the forensic auditor was in place as of last week, so a letter asking us to comply is puzzling.”

That forensic auditor is Wagner Valuation and Financial Forensics LLC of Albuquerque.

Last month, an education official asked a separate firm to terminate its contract for a financial audit of Southwest Learning Centers “due to its impaired independence in the matter.”

Hipolito “Paul” Aguilar, deputy secretary of finance and operations for the Public Education Department, made the request in a letter to Steven Keene, managing partner for Albuquerque-based Moss Adams LLP. The letter suggests that either the Public Education Department or Southwest Learning Centers

This isn’t the first time the state auditor has prodded the Public Education Department over charter school oversight. might sue Moss Adams, and asks the firm to hand over all documents related to the case.

This isn’t the first time the state auditor has prodded the Public Education Department over charter school oversight.

In mid-July, the office warned the department of 185 findings in a 2012 audit of the department — including 16 related to financial oversight and compliance failures — regarding state-chartered schools. About 60 schools in New Mexico are chartered by the state. Another 40 schools in the state have received charters through their local school districts.

The Legislature in 2012 passed Senate Bill 446, mandating new accountability guidelines for charter schools, including annual site visits by local officials as well as officials from the Public Education Department and the Public Education Commission, which approves or denies state charter school applications.

But Doug Wine, executive director of the New Mexico Coalition for Charter Schools, said schools that were authorized before 2012 — including the Southwest Learning Centers — did not immediately fall under that law and are not yet subject to it until their next renewal period, which may explain the lack of scrutiny.

Carolyn Shearman, chairwoman of the state’s Public Education Commission, declined to comment on the situation. She said the commission would discuss it during a three-day session next week at the Jerry Apodaca Education Building, 300 Don Gaspar Ave. More than 20 school charters, including the three in the Southwest Learning Centers chain, are up for renewal during that session.

Three other schools — Monte del Sol Charter School, Tierra Encantada Charter School and Turquoise Trail Charter School — are currently chartered by the Santa Fe Public Schools but wish to renew their charters through the state during that session.

that were sold in local stores.

The restaurant was often featured in local media outlets, The New Mexican included, as well as national publications.

Her husband keeps a hefty stack of papers that chronicle every time his wife or their restaurant received media attention.

Michelle Koller said her mother always stayed busy, usually with church volunteer tasks in the morning and then running the restaurant throughout the day. Despite a hectic schedule, she always tried to please everyone, Koller said. If a patron asked for milk, a beverage that wasn’t on the menu, Medina Tiede would run to her personal refrigerator and get milk for the customer. She engineered a meatless tamale upon request from members of the Sikh community near Española.

Dennis Tiede said his wife loved to chat with customers, sometimes to a fault. She often held up the line when she found herself in the middle of a great conversation, he said.

Koller said her mother loved to listen to the tales that religious pilgrims told about their reasons for journeying to the santuario.

That gregarious nature likely helped her to earn a special place in the small community. A half-dozen people interviewed Wednesday afternoon in Chimayó all praised Medina Tiede for her generous nature. Robert

Ortega at Ortega’s Weaving said she used to care for him when he was a child.

“She was an important part of the community,” Ortega said.

“She will be greatly missed.”

Patricio Chavez at the Chavez Gallery in Chimayó said he grew up with Medina Tiede and her family. He recalled that she always volunteered at Las

Posadas, a set of holiday performances hosted by the local church. And he said he used to buy hamburgers from her when she had a food cart off N.M. 76.

He said her death makes it feel as though Chimayó is losing its matriarchs.

In 2011, Medina Tiede and her husband said they would scale back the restaurant operations.

Koller said she and her siblings asked their parents to slow down, and they did, briefly. Within several months, Medina Tiede found her way back to the restaurant, where she could often be found chatting with visitors.

“She needed to stay busy,” Tiede said. “She tried to retire, but it just didn’t work. It didn’t give her the satisfaction of being with people.”

The restaurant is closed, Tiede said, but he will reopen its doors soon. Medina Tiede is survived by her husband, three children and 10 grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents and three brothers.

Youth: Volunteering helps connect people Continued from Page A-8 “I figured I needed to have a sense of humor about it,” Booth said.

Her father started radio station KLWN — later KLZR — in Lawrence in 1951. Her mother, also named Bette, died of cancer at age 42 when the younger Bette was just 5. “One minute she was there, one minute she wasn’t,” Booth said.

She dreamed of being either a journalist or an educator, but after receiving her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Kansas State University in 1972, she joined the Peace Corps, serving in Paraguay, Venezuela and Puerto Rico. She has since traveled and worked in about 30 countries in various aspects of international development, including marketing, advocacy and social science research.

Along the way, she’s been attacked by a hippo in Kenya (“Those suckers move fast,” she said), caught up in a firefight between warring factions in Venezuela (“That was fun”) and bitten by a nurse shark off the coast of Honduras. From then on, her swimming friends called her “Shark Bait” and made her go into the water first to see if any sharks would get her.

She moved to Santa Fe 13 years ago, after her father died.

She was drawn by the skies, the light and the hot springs. “I’m 10 minutes from world-class opera, world-class restaurants, world-class people and worldclass hot springs,” she said. Fre-

quenting hot springs and scuba diving are two of her hobbies.

Water, she said, is her church.

Though she’s never tried a skateboard herself, Booth found herself helping teens who felt disenfranchised advocate for a skate park. “I feel like our youth here are underserved,” she said. “I think a lot of kids feel like people don’t think they are worth anything. To me, anything we can do to empower youth to be heard and take part in the political process is a positive step.”

Though she has no children of her own, Booth said she works as a surrogate guardian to all of her “adopted nieces and nephews. … It’s important for kids to have an adult who loves them unconditionally without judging them, someone who is not their parent who they can go and talk to.”

Joe Lehm, who operates the Skate School for skateboarders in Santa Fe, served on the parks advisory committee with Booth. “Skateboarders love her,” he said. “They realized Bette was their biggest advocate in

the park commission.” He said her skills as an international facilitator pay off when it comes to forging cooperative bridges between various parties.

She has two cats — Kami and Skeeter — and plays the ukulele. She likes volunteering, she said, because it helps her connect people with similar passions to one another to benefit the community. She

wants to see the city create a long-term parks and recreation plan with an accent on youth involvement. Other than that, she wants to stay healthy so she can keep on volunteering.

“I’ve had a fabulous life,” she said.

Powell said his only interest in questioning the recount process is to ensure state law is followed and that all legitimate votes are counted. “It just needs to be a fair and transparent election and one we can all be proud of, regardless of who wins,” Powell said.

The attack on Powell stated that he wants a monthlong hand recount that will cost taxpayers $1 million, but it doesn’t say where that cost estimate comes from. It asks supporters to send money to support Dunn.

Adair said the cost of the recount under the process laid out in the Canvassing Board’s order would total $320,000 to $390,000.

The Republican Party accused Powell and Democrats of being sore losers and working to change election rules in their favor.

“The Republican Party of New Mexico is actively working to ensure that an election that was transparent, open and legally correct is not manipulated by the liberal and progressive Democrat lawyers that want to change the rules after the election to try to alter the outcome in favor of their candidate,” Republican Party Chairman John Billingsley said. “The strategies and tactics we can see being employed by the Ray Powell Campaign are the same tactics employed by the Al Fran-

ken campaign in Minnesota.”

Billingsley was referring to the 2008 U.S. Senate race between Franken and Norm Coleman. Franken, a Democrat, trailed Coleman, a Republican, by 215 votes after the election.

Following a recount ordered and certified by Minnesota’s five-member State Canvassing Board, Franken held a 225-vote lead, according to FactCheck. org and other media sites. Coleman challenged the results up to the state Supreme Court, complaining about the handling of absentee ballots, “missing” ballots and double counting.

The state Supreme Court ruled against Coleman, but Franken did not take office for six months after the beginning of his term due to the court challenges.

The email plea for donations to help Aubrey Dunn includes a statement that it was paid for by the Republican Party of New Mexico and was “not authorized by any candidate.”

Emily Strickler, a spokeswoman for the party, said, “This was obviously put out by us but we’ve worked closely with the Dunn campaign and they’re aware that we sent this out. We are working together, a team effort to get this taken care of. It is a cohesive message.”

Blair Dunn, an Albuquerque attorney who managed his father’s campaign, said via email: “Aubrey Dunn’s campaign wants to ensure that integrity of our New Mexico election is maintained and not manipulated by legal battles and political wrangling in any level of our New Mexico Courts.”

Ginsburg said, referring to Samuel Bagenstos, the attorney for the former UPS driver.

“And if that’s the case in fact, then you lose, don’t you?”

Halligan argued that Kagan’s suggestion couldn’t be squared with the statute’s language. She urged the court to leave intact a federal appeals court ruling that threw out the lawsuit by Peggy Young.

Young worked at a UPS facility in Landover, Md. Her job required her to load packages onto vehicles and deliver them to their destination. Although she says the vast majority of those packages were envelopesize, her job description required her to lift parcels of up to 70 pounds.

In 2006, Young became pregnant after in vitro fertilization, and her doctor and midwife said she shouldn’t lift objects weighing more than 20 pounds during the first half of the pregnancy or more than 10 pounds for the rest.

House votes to extend expiring tax breaks

By Stephen Ohlemacher The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House rushed through a lastminute measure Wednesday to extend a massive package of expired tax breaks for banks, investment firms, commuters and NASCAR track owners.

The bill would enable millions of businesses and individuals to claim the tax breaks on their 2014 returns. It would add nearly $42 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade.

The more than 50 tax breaks benefit big corporations and small businesses, as well as teachers and people who live in states without a state income tax. More narrow provisions include tax breaks for filmmakers, racehorse owners and rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

“With the end of the year and a new tax filing season rapidly approaching, we need to act,” said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. “The IRS has been clear that unless Congress acts quickly, it will be forced to delay the start of the tax filing season.”

The bill passed 378-46. It now goes to the Senate, where Democratic leaders have been noncommittal about whether they would accept it. Time is short because the House plans to adjourn for the year next week, and the Senate could as well.

Congress routinely extends the package of tax breaks every year or two. But they were allowed to expire in January.

Technically, the bill is a oneyear, retroactive extension of the tax breaks, even though it only lasts through the end of the month. Lawmakers from both political parties said the shortterm measure is the product

of a divided Congress that has trouble passing routine legislation. “This on-again, off-again style of legislating on a temporary basis is a terrible way to make tax policy,” Camp said.

House Republicans and Sen-

ate Democrats were negotiating to make some of the tax breaks permanent. But talks faltered last week after the White House threatened to veto a package, saying it too heavily favored big corporations over families.

For more information, call 471-5366 or visit the sanctuary’s website at www.kindredspiritsnm.org.

Holiday tips keep your pets safe The holiday season is a time to enjoy with loved ones, but it can prove to be more dangerous than fun for your four-legged friend. Many holiday staples, such as decorations and food, can be harmful to pets. To keep your dog happy and healthy during the holidays, the Santa Fe animal shelter offers the following safety tips: u When decorating for the holidays, avoid using food such as popcorn or cranberry strands. If eaten, they can cause blockages, which can require surgery to remove. u Place ornaments, tinsel, glass bulbs and things that sparkle and catch your dog’s eye higher up on your tree where he can’t reach them. Ingesting ornaments can cause major problems for your dog or puppy.

u Poinsettias, holly and mistletoe should be kept out of your dog’s reach, as they can be poisonous to pets. u Consider having an artificial Christmas tree, but if you choose a natural one, make sure your dog doesn’t swallow the pine needles or drink the tree water, which can cause stomach irritation or contain poisonous plant food. Try putting a gate around the tree to keep the puppy away. u Exposed wires from holiday lights pose a threat to your inquisitive little friend — if your dog chews on them, he could be electrocuted. Tape indoor wires to the wall and outdoor wires to the side of the house where your dog can’t reach them. u Common holiday foods such as chocolate, butter, turkey skin, fat and candy can make your dog very ill. Don’t let your puppy’s cute face convince you that he should be given table food. Take care to keep these foods out of reach.

Stalled measure includes transferring management of Valles Calderas preserve, other wilderness areas

By Donna Cassata The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Wilderness in New Mexico and other Western states and a program for streamlining oil and gas permitting would be expanded as part of a $585 million defense bill crafted by House and Senate negotiators.

The measure calls for transferring management of the 140-square-mile Valles Caldera National Preserve in Northern New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains to the National Park Service and for a land swap in Arizona that would clear the way for North America’s largest copper mine.

Quick passage of the sweeping defense policy bill hit a snag Wednesday, however, over the public lands provisions, dividing Senate Republicans.

Lawmakers managed to squeeze

250,000 acres of new wilderness, in addition to 15 new national park units or expansions and three new wild and scenic river designations.

“With the military’s shrinking budget, it is offensive that this bill would be used to fund congressional pork. And, at a time where jobs are scarce and the federal government has removed billions of acres of land from productive use, Congress should not be restricting more than a half-million new acres,” Cruz said in a statement.

Caren Cowan, executive director of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association, which represents thousands of ranchers in the state, has been a vocal critic of what she considers federal overreach in the West.

“This is a continuation of the governance by blackmail,” Cowan said. “The national defense authorization is vital to our nation and those who serve in the military. It should not be used as a bargaining chip for land grabs. Working on land packages in this manner is a disservice to the land and the people who enjoy it.”

Feds: Bar owner evaded taxes

In brief Española IDs cop in shooting case The Española Police Department has identified the officer who shot and wounded a man Sunday as Michelle Ortega.

Cpl. Solomon Romero said Ortega has been with the department for 16 years and hadn’t previously used her firearm in the line of duty.

Romero said the shooting occurred after officers responded to a report at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday that Robert Apodoca, 37, of Albuquerque had threatened to kill his girlfriend’s family. When police arrived at a residence on Española’s north side, Romero said, they encountered Apodaca, who refused their orders to take his hands out of his pockets.

Ortega then fired at Apodaca, and the bullet passed through his left thigh, Romero said.

Romero said Apodaca tried to flee after being shot, and a second officer used a Taser to help subdue him, although he continued to refuse to show his hands.

Apodaca was taken to Presbyterian Española Hospital, where he was treated before he was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque on Monday. Romero said Apodaca was transported to that jail because he was wanted on a warrant for failure to report to his probation offi-

Inmate files suit over treatment ALBUQUERQUE — A New Mexico inmate who claims he has been”buried alive” in solitary confinement for seven years has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque against New Mexico Department of Corrections Secretary Gregg Marcantel and other staffers.

A lawyer for Justin Hinzo says the 39-year-old prisoner is trapped in windowless cell at the Penitentiary of New Mexico in Santa Fe and is deteriorating mentally because of the conditions.

The lawsuit said those conditions and neglect Hinzo left with post-traumatic stress disorder and he “has been permanently damaged by the infliction of long-term solitary confinement.”

Corrections spokeswoman Alex Tomlin strongly denied all the charges in the lawsuit and said prison logs show Hinzo often refuses to take showers and regularly has access to medical care.

ALBUQUERQUE — Federal authorities say the owner of Sneakerz Sports Bar in Albuquerque evaded taxes for several years.

James Coleman Jr. was arrested Tuesday on charges of tax evasion and filing false tax returns. He appeared in federal court Wednesday.

Coleman, 57, is accused of failing to pay over $166,000 in federal taxes owed by his corporation, Sneakerz Inc., in 2008 and 2009 by filing false tax returns that underrepresented the business’s income.

According to a news release, Coleman remains in custody pending his arraignment.

Coleman faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison on two of the four counts against him. He faces three years for the other two counts.

Funeral services and memorials NATHANIEL WEST BLASER Nathaniel West Blaser age 21 passed away suddenly on November 29th, 2014 in Colorado. Nate was born July 8, 1993 and raised in Santa Fe. He attended Wood Gormley Elementary, Capshaw Middle School, and Santa Fe High, before leaving at age fifteen to begin ski racing in Park City, Utah for three seasons. He was living and working in Eagle, Colorado as a firefighter and first responder for the Eagle County and Fire Rescue Department at the time of his death.

Nate was a lover -- he loved his family, his family at work, his friends, and the outdoors. Everyone who knew him loved him.

There was a special place in Nate’s heart for the brothers and sisters of the firefighting and emergency responders community, especially the Santa Fe County Fire Department, Eagle County Fire and Rescue, and, of course Hondo Fire and Rescue.

Nate is survived by his mother and step-father Jill Benjamin & Ruskin Blankenship, father and stepmother Brian and Elaine Blaser, brother Simon Blaser and sister Campbell Brown; maternal grandparents Raphiel & Karen Benjamin and paternal grandparents Ruth Blaser of Fair Haven, New Jersey and Edward Blaser of Boynton Beach, Florida; grandparents Barbara and Ted Seeley, Ellen Alexander, Don Bell, Ronald and Victoria Alexander; uncles Raphiel Jr. (Pam), Richard Benjamin (Sera), Douglas Blaser (Pat), Robert Blaser, Thomas Blaser (Donna), Marcus Novak (Giselle), Nicholas Blaser (Kimberly), Lisa Cochran, Kathryn Alexander; cousins Dakotah and Faranak Benjamin, Luke Griscom, Alisa Currier, Chloe Benjamin, Lily Benjamin, Fallon Blaser, Curtis Blaser, Elliot Blaser, Sarah Blaser, Erin Blaser, Mackenzee Blaser, Bryce Blaser, Alexis Blaser, Kaiti Blaser, Stephen Foote, Tatianna Norbeck, and Kahlil Norbeck. He is survived by too many dear friends to mention.

Nate touched everyone’s life; he is greatly missed. The world has lost a phenomenal young man.

There will be a memorial to celebrate Nate’s life on Monday, December 8th at 2:00 pm at St. John’s Church, 1200 Old Pecos Trail, Santa Fe, NM. We will also be celebrating his life in Gypsum, CO on Saturday, December 6th, at 10am at the Calvary Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Hondo Fire and Rescue would be greatly appreciated.

OUR VIEW

Drought: It’s only getting worse

David Brooks The New York Times

O

ne of the features of all the Ferguson discussion over the past few months is how tinny the comparisons to the civil-rights era have sounded. People have tried to link Ferguson to Selma and Jim Crow, but something is off.

That’s, in part, because we’ve moved from simplicity to ambiguity. The civil rights struggle was about as clear a conflict between right and wrong as we get in national life. The debate about Ferguson elicited complex reactions among most sensible people.

This complexity was best expressed in the short essay that Benjamin Watson, a New Orleans Saints tight end, posted on Facebook, which went viral. Watson listed 12 different emotions the Ferguson mess aroused, including: “I’m ANGRY because stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes. … I’m OFFENDED because of the insulting comments I’ve seen. … I’m INTROSPECTIVE because sometimes I want to take ‘our’ side without looking at the facts in situations like these.”

But the other reason that the civil-rights era comparisons were inapt is because the nature of racism has changed.

There has been a migration away from prejudice based on genetics to prejudice based on class.

Let me explain with a historical detour. In 18th- and 19th-century Britain, there was a division between “respectable” society and those who lived in slums that were sometimes known as rookeries (because the neighborhoods reminded people of rock faces where thieving crows lived in little nooks and crannies).

A

The people who lived in these slums were often described as more like animals than human beings. For example, in an 1889 essay in The Palace Journal, Arthur Morrison described, “Dark, silent, uneasy shadows passing and crossing — human vermin in this reeking sink, like goblin exhalations from all that is noxious around.

Women with sunken, blackrimmed eyes, whose pallid faces appear and vanish by the light of an occasional gas lamp, and look so like illcovered skulls that we start at their stare.”

“Proper” people of that era had both a disgust and fascination for those who lived in these untouchable realms.

They went slumming into the poor neighborhoods, a sort of poverty tourism that is the equivalent of today’s reality TV or the brawlers that appear on The Jerry Springer Show.

Today we once again have a sharp social divide between people who live in the “respectable” meritocracy and those who live beyond it. In one world almost everybody you meet has at least been to college, and people have very little contact with features that are sometimes a part of the other world: prison, meth, payday loans, a flowering of

nonmarriage family types.

In one world, people assume they can control their destinies. In the other, some people embrace the now common motto: “It don’t make no difference.”

Widening class distances produce class prejudice, classism. This is a prejudice based on visceral attitudes about competence. People in the “respectable” class have meritocratic virtues: executive function, grit, a capacity for delayed gratification.

The view about those in the untouchable world is that they are short on these things.

They are disorganized. They are violent and scary.

This belief has some grains of truth because of childhood trauma, the stress of poverty and other things. But this view metastasizes into a vicious, intellectually lazy stereotype.

Before long, animalistic imagery is used to describe these human beings.

This class prejudice is applied to both the white and black poor, whose demographic traits are converging.

But classism combines with latent and historic racism to create a particularly malicious brew. People are now assigned a whole range of supposedly underclass traits based on a single glimpse at skin color.

During the civil-rights era

there was always a debate about what was a civil-rights issue and what was an economic or social issue. Now that distinction has been obliterated. Every civil-rights issue is also an economic and social issue. Classism intertwines with racism.

It’s often said after events like Ferguson that we need a national conversation on race.

That’s a bit true. We all need to improve our capacity for sympathetic understanding, our capacity to imaginatively place ourselves in the minds of other people with experiences different from our own.

Conversation can help, though I suspect novels, works of art and books like Claude Brown’s Manchild in the Promised Land work better.

But, ultimately, we don’t need a common conversation; we need a common project.

If the nation works together to improve social mobility for the poor of all races, through projects like President Barack Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative, then social distance will decline, classism will decline and racial prejudice will obliquely decline as well.

In a friendship, people don’t sit around talking about their friendship. They do things together. Through common endeavor people overcome difference to become friends.

Please, please. Don’t give it to them. Let the rich who will benefit from it pay for it.

There will be free head shots provided, two casting calls, events, panels and workshops. Best thing is, with help from our generous sponsors, it’s free!

Film is a big part of our economy. Join us this weekend, www.santafefilmfestival. com/tune-up.html.

The Santa Fe High tennis complex is more than 30 years old, has not been maintained except for ineffective patching, and last year the district risked severe injury to our tennis athletes.

The price tag to fix the tennis complex will not go down with passing years.

I believe the voters would show overwhelming support to fund the 2017 bond if the safety of our students was first and foremost. Now they risk having the bond fail — an unsafe practice field at Capital High School, ignoring safety issues at Capital High tennis courts, Santa Fe High tennis courts being patched again, and increasing property taxes without first asking the voters. Stop the insanity or risk the next bond failing.

s Northern New Mexico waits for the promised snow — this winter is supposed to be wet and cold — we hear more bad news about the climate. Drought is a fact of life, but the 21st-century version is made worse by warming temperatures.

The dry spell of the 1950s had less moisture. New Mexico endured seven consecutive years of below-average precipitation from 1950 to 1956. Between 2008 and 2013, only three years were below average in amounts of rain and snow.

But David Gutzler, a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of New Mexico, told the state legislative Water and Natural Resources Committee that warmer weather will make it more difficult to refresh water supplies. Snowpack is melting sooner, failing to refresh rivers and streams. And hot summer temperatures make water in reservoirs evaporate, so that by summer’s end, even abundant rains are in scarce supply.

The report’s facts on water and warmth are without debate. Even after a summer such as 2014, when rains were plentiful, by the end of October, most reservoirs in the state had below-average storage. That wasn’t debated. What lawmakers disliked in Gutzler’s discussion and his department’s report was the conclusion that with less water, agriculture’s future as a wealth-producing industry in New Mexico is gloomy. Southern New Mexico lawmakers especially were quick to defend growing food and producing cheese and milk as essential New Mexico industries. They are correct, of course.

But at some point in the debate over how to manage scarce water, the battle between town and agriculture will heat up. Should scarce water go to grow alfalfa for horses or to water dairy cows, or for use by humans for drinking?

It’s not whether agriculture is in decline, but in the future, whether some types of agriculture will be seen as the best destination for water.

This report provides plenty of food for thought. Rather than fighting over perceived slights to agriculture, lawmakers might want to think about more projects to conserve the water we do have — whether in the homes, as with Santa Fe’s low-flow toilets, or in bigger ways to reduce evaporation in reservoirs, or in farming, with drip irrigation systems. (One Massachusetts startup, More Aqua Inc., envisions a thin coating of a vegetable-oil extraction on surface water to potentially reduce evaporation by 75 percent; other water managers plant shade to keep the sun away.)

The conclusion — that today’s drought will be made worse by higher temperatures — is inescapable. Despite predictions of wet weather this winter, lawmakers, planners and residents in the arid Southwest need to plan for scarcity, not abundance.

When scarcity is the norm, the competing roles of agriculture and urban growth will be essential to the discussion. Some day, the idea that we flooded fields to grow hay will seem as quaint as smoke-filled rooms of yesteryear.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 4, 1914: Silver City — More than $100,000 in taxes, being the first half of the total taxes due for the year, had been paid into the office of the county treasurer on Dec. 1. In many instances, the full year’s taxes have been paid, which reflects the prosperity of Grant County. However, some of the largest taxpayers have taken advantage of the law, permitting them to divide their taxes in two payments.

Dec. 4, 1964: Madrid — Billie Sol Estes, bankrupt Texas wheeler and dealer and the group for whom he is acting as “consultant” are expected to close a lease agreement for the tiny ghost town of Madrid sometime today. El Paso businessman, Paul Slone, spokesman for the group which wishes to lease the town and convert it into a tourist center said, “It looks like this thing will go through.” It has been reported the group has asked for a 15-year lease on the 400-acre ghost town between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, for an undisclosed sum.

He hopes to pass the title on to his son, but he fears he may not get the chance. The Sangre de Cristo Water Co., owned by the Public Service Company of New Mexico, wants to use an additional 2,000 acre-feet of water from the Santa Fe River annually. An acre-foot is more than 300,000 gallons.

Ex-ally challenges Israel’s leader

By Aron Heller The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Even before Israel’s hastily called election campaign kicks into gear, a former ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is shaping up to be the biggest potential challenge to his re-election.

Moshe Kahlon was the most popular Cabinet minister in Netanyahu’s previous government, drawing wide appeal for his working-class background and for pushing daring reforms.

But prior to the 2013 election he abruptly quit politics over differences with Netanyahu. Now he’s back with a new centrist party that could tip the scales in favor of those seeking to topple the longtime Israeli leader.

Netanyahu’s coalition disintegrated this week in dramatic fashion and lawmakers speedily voted to dissolve parliament Wednesday, setting the country on a crash course for national elections in March — two years ahead of schedule.

Kahlon responded swiftly, officially announcing the new party Wednesday in a speech to university students. “I am returning to the political arena,” he said. “I used to be in a very strong political framework, but I decided to establish a new framework and this is for our children.” He gave no details on his political platform.

He has historically taken hard-line positions toward the Palestinians, but more recently has expressed support for a territorial compromise that would establish a Palestinian state. However, his agenda has focused much more heavily on economic and cost-of-living issues.

After his unwieldy coalition of secular centrists and religious hardliners imploded, Netanyahu is looking to secure a fourth term as premier by increasing support for his hardline Likud Party. He hopes to secure a strong majority for a “national bloc” that includes his traditional allies of ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s nationalist Yisrael Beitenu faction and the hard line Jewish Home party, which is strongly linked to the West Bank settler movement.

This bloc tends to take a hard line in peace talks with the Palestinians.

was last produced by McDonnell Aircraft Corp. in 1981.

Iran in the 1980s fought a brutal, stalemated war with Iraq when that country was led by Saddam Hussein and his Sunni-controlled Baath Party.

But the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam left an Iraqi government closely aligned with Iran. A majority of Iraqis are Shiite, as are most Iranians. The Islamic State group, which also controls parts of Syria, is led by Sunni extremists and has attracted many Sunnis who felt disenfranchised

by Baghdad. In public, U.S. officials have walked a careful line over the strikes, while Iranian officials have flatly denied them. Neither side has an interest in appearing to cooperate with the other. America’s Arab allies in the fight against the Islamic State, including Sunni-led Saudi Arabia and Qatar,

would not want to be seen as fighting alongside Shiite Iran against a group of Sunni militants.

Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said Tuesday he had seen “nothing that would dispute” that Iran has carried out airstrikes in eastern Iraq. The U.S. was “not taking a position” on the strikes.

Speaking in Brussels on Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry said that Iranian attacks on ISIS militants would represent a positive development.

“I think it’s self-evident that if Iran is taking on ISIL in some particular place, and it’s confined to taking on ISIL, and it has an impact, its net effect is positive,” Kerry told reporters, using another acronym for ISIS. “But that’s not something we’re coordinating.”

Three Hong Kong protest leaders turn themselves in Move was attempt to stop violence

By Chris Buckley and Alan Wong The New York Times

HONG KONG — Three founders of a Hong Kong protest movement surrendered to the police Wednesday, in a gesture meant to press the government to face up to demands for free elections and to coax demonstrators into abandoning street camps that have become increasingly exhausted and divided.

The protest movement that has gripped Hong Kong for more than two months has been carried along by theatrical acts and vivid images, and the protest leaders’ surrender to the police was more stagecraft.

Their stay in the police station was brief, and they were not arrested.

“I hope an end to this movement could advance Hong Kong’s democracy,” Benny Tai, one of the three founders of the group, Occupy Central With Love and Peace, told reporters after coming out of the station.

“I am at peace, and I am hopeful,” he said.

Tai and the two other founders of Occupy Central, Chan Kin-man and Chu Yiu-ming, arrived at the main police station swarmed by supporters and reporters, while dozens of police officers managed the scene. Joseph Zen, a retired Roman Catholic cardinal of Hong Kong who has supported pro-democracy campaigns, also turned himself in. Minutes later, Shiu Ka-chun, a university lecturer who has supported the protests, also walked into the station.

that Iran has cooperated with the U.S.-led coalition, but she neither confirmed nor denied Iranian airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi, also sensitive to the US-Arab coalition that has been carrying out airstrikes against ISIS and training the Iraqi military to take ISIS on itself, told reporters Wednesday, “I’m not aware there were Iranian airstrikes.”

Hakim al-Zamili, a Shiite Iraqi lawmaker who heads the Security and Defense Committee in Parliament, said Iran “is serious in fighting Daesh,” using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group. “It has advisers in country. It provides Iraq with weapons and ammunition,” al-Zamili said, adding that he had no knowledge of whether Iranian airstrikes had been carried out.

U.S. teacher dies in Abu Dhabi DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An American schoolteacher was stabbed to death in a public restroom at a mall in Abu Dhabi by a person wearing the full black veil commonly worn by local women throughout the Arab Gulf region, according to video released Wednesday by police.

A statement posted on the Abu Dhabi Interior Ministry’s website said the victim was stabbed Monday with a butcher’s knife that was found by police. The statement said the American woman was a 37-year-old kindergarten teacher. Her name has not been made public.

The victim had 11-year-old twins who are now in the custody of police until their father,

who is the victim’s ex-husband, arrives from abroad.

Col. Rashid Borshid, head of the Criminal Investigation Department, said the attacker remains at large. He said police are investigating motives and the gender of the attacker, who was wearing a full veil, a long black robe and black gloves.

He said a fight broke out between the victim and the attacker in the women’s restroom just before the stabbing, which took place on the upscale Reem Island in Abu Dhabi.

Footage released Wednesday by the Interior Ministry shows the attacker dressed in head-to-toe black and entering the mall. The person appears to ask mall security where the restroom is and grabs a free magazine on the way inside.

“We’re giving ourselves up to the police, but we’re not giving up,” Shiu said. “I believe what we do today is just and could bring about changes in society.”

The surrender was laden more with symbolism than with immediate legal consequences. Arrest warrants have not been issued for the leaders, and the four men spent barely an hour in the police station before re-emerging to speak to reporters.

In the police station, officers handed out special forms listing possible offenses related to the protests, such as unauthorized assembly and obstruction of the police, which the men were asked to fill out, Tai said.

He said he had recommended that protesters who wished to surrender admit only to possible unauthorized assembly. After he spoke, dozens of other people also lined up outside the station to turn themselves in.

By 7 p.m., 65 people had surrendered at the station, the police said.

The Occupy Central leaders who turned themselves in Wednesday have seemingly had little influence over the street occupations that have continued for more than two months.

But Occupy Central was the campaign that initially promoted the idea of civil disobedience occupations on the streets of Hong Kong.

Prep’s Farr signs with college program

Santa Fe is about as far off the recruiting radar screen as a prospective lacrosse player could be, and that was Hewitt Farr’s dilemma.

But when your dream is to play at the collegiate level, it’s merely an obstacle to overcome.

Farr will make a lot of dreams come true — for himself and the lacrosse community in the city — on Thursday when he signs a letter of intent to play for Brevard (N.C.) College, an NCAA Division II school that is in its second year as a program, in the Founder’s Room at Santa Fe Prep, which houses

the club lacrosse team. Sidney Monroe, Prep’s head coach, said Farr is the first local player to earn a scholarship and might be the first player in the state.

“That’s basically the icing on the cake with the cherry on top,” said Farr, who is a senior at Santa Fe High.

While the program is run by Santa Fe Prep, it’s open to all Santa Fe students because it is classified as a club sport with no affiliation with the New Mexico Activities Association.

That distinction makes it hard for a player to get a look from prospective colleges, considering the sport is sanctioned by most high school athletic

Cowboys looking to bounce back vs. Bears

By Andrew Seligman The Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — If the Dallas Cowboys can avoid another lateseason letdown, they can reach a significant goal: the NFC East title.

The first step is getting past the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.

They are a game behind Philadelphia in the NFC East after getting blown out 33-10 by the Eagles on Thanksgiving and have another showdown with them next week that could be for the division lead.

But before Dallas (8-4) can worry about that, there’s this matchup with the struggling Bears (5-7) at Soldier Field.

“It’s hard to get to this point in the year and be 8-4 and right in the middle of the hunt,” tight end Jason Witten said. “I think you play long enough like I have you respect the opportunity that you have and where you are positioned. So I am excited about that.”

It’s not hard to see why he is excited considering the Cowboys last made the playoffs in 2009. But they have struggled in recent years once December arrived.

In 2011, they dropped four of their final five. A year later, they dropped their final two games after taking the first three in December. Last year, they lost three of their last four.

All three seasons they wound up 8-8, and anything less than a playoff appearance would be a big letdown for a team that started 6-1.

Walk-on Jacobs helps UNM come from behind to beat rival NMSU

ust when all seemed lost, a walk-on, a basic zone defense and a long-lost flight all came together to rescue the Lobos.

Backed into what seemed like an inescap-

able situation with injuries to three key players and a horrific slump by its senior leader, The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team turned to walk-on Tim Jacobs to play crucial minutes and manage the offense in a somewhat surprising 62-47 win over New Mexico State on Wednesday night before a near-capacity crowd in The Pit. “We needed this one,” said Lobos head coach Craig Neal. “We needed to play well at home. This was a rivalry game and it was big.”

Jacobs logged 25 minutes, scoring nine points with four steals, four assists and just one turnover

as the Lobos (4-3) snapped a two-game losing streak while dealing with the possible-season ending injuries to point guard Cullen Neal and shooting guard Arthur Edwards.

Deshawn Delaney — whose own nickname is “Flight 33” because of his jersey number and leaping ability — had a game-high 22 points with seven rebounds while Devon Williams had 13 points, four boards and quite a few dribbling mistakes that his coach scoffed at after the game.

Mourners gather for Ohio State athlete’s funeral

By Rusty Miller The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Days before Ohio State plays in the Big Ten championship game, team buses carried players and coaches to a cathedral where they paid their final respects to a teammate who apparently shot himself in the head after sending a message to his parents saying concussions had addled his mind.

Family members, athletes and coaches visibly grieved as they pulled their coats up tight to their collars to fight off the cold as they left the private funeral of Kosta Karageorge, some with tears in their eyes.

The Buckeyes’ leading rusher, Ezekiel Elliott, was distraught as he remembered the walk-on nose tackle whose casket he carried from the church.

Karageorge would always say, “ ‘Yeah, baby! Yeah, baby!’ just before coming out on the field to practice

every day,” Elliott said before his voice broke with emotion and he walked away.

Karageorge, 22, was found dead in a trash bin on Sunday. Four days earlier he had disapKosta peared after sending Karageorge his parents a text message, apologizing if he was “an embarrassment,” but that concussions had messed up his head.

Dr. Anahi Ortiz, the Franklin County coroner, had not ruled on the manner of his death but said Karageorge had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. A handgun was found in the large steel container with him, police said, just a couple of hundred yards from his apartment near campus.

Karageorge’s mother told police he’d had several concussions and a few spells of extreme confusion. The

coroner said a special examination will be done of Karageorge’s brain to look for any traumatic injury.

Fellow football players have described the 6-foot-3, 273-pound Karageorge as a hardworking and enthusiastic athlete who often stayed for extra practice. His position coach, defensive line coach Larry Johnson, was among the first off the bus with dozens of members of the Buckeyes football team.

Nearly all of Karageorge’s teammates departed Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Columbus without speaking.

Earlier in the week, offensive tackle Taylor Decker fought his emotions as he talked about his teammate. He smiled as he recalled Karageorge’s enjoyment of practice, something not shared by every player.

“I know the D-line guys were saying he would always scream, ‘Yeah, baby!’ before he would go out,” Decker said.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Eric J. Hedlund, ehedlund@sfnewmexican.com

Decker said he and the rest of the Buckeyes began to expect the worst after Karageorge, who went to high school in the Columbus suburb of Worthington, missed practice on Wednesday and then again Thursday of last week.

“It’s not like every day a big guy like him, with a lot going for him, just goes missing,” he said. “Obviously, you worry about what could be. I think that was in the back of people’s minds — if we’d never see him again.

It just hurts. It sucks losing somebody.”

Karageorge was a Buckeyes wrestler for three years and joined the football team in August. The senior hadn’t played any games and was a member of the “scout team,” taking on the role of an opposing team member during the regular starters’ weekday practices.

His body was found by a woman searching trash bins near her neighborhood for scrap metal to sell.

Winston’s FSU hearing ends with no decision

By Gary Fineout The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A two-day hearing at Florida State that could determine quarterback Jameis Winston’s future at the university ended on Wednesday with no decision and no definitive timetable on when the case will be resolved.

The hearing, which was held about two years after a female student said Winston sexually assaulted her in December Jameis 2012, was held to determine whether Winston Winston violated any or all of four sections of the code of conduct — two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment.

John Clune, an attorney representing the woman at the closed hearing, did predict that the former Florida State Supreme Court justice presiding over the proceedings will announce his decision by the end of the year.

Justice Major Harding has given both sides up to five days to submit a proposed order on what they think the outcome should be, Clune said.

TOP 25 COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Northern New Mexico

No. 4 Duke beats No. 2 Wisconsin SCOREBOARD The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Tyus Jones scored 22 points, Rasheed Sulaimon added 14 and No. 4 Duke shot 65 percent to beat No. 2 Wisconsin 80-70 on 4 Duke 80 Wednesday night in a highly anticipated 2 Wisconsin 70 matchup of college basketball heavyweights.

With 17 points, Wisconsin senior Frank Kaminsky outscored Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor (13 points) in a test for the two of the nation’s top big men.

But it was another touted freshman, Jones, who helped open things up for the Blue Devils (8-0) in the second half. The lightning-quick guard beat defenders into the lane and added two 3-pointers against the Badgers (7-1).

Jones followed a transition layup with an assist on Amile Jefferson’s jumper to cap a 6-0 run that gave Duke a 69-60 lead with about 3 minutes left in the showcase game of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

NO. 7 VIRGINIA 76, NO. 21 MARYLAND 65 In College Park, Md., Malcolm Brogdon scored 18 points, Justin Anderson added 16 and Virginia turned up the defense to Maryland its first loss.

The Cavaliers (8-0) and Terrapins (7-1) played twice a year for decades when both were in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Now in its first year as a member of the Big Ten, Maryland trailed throughout against its longtime rival in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Virginia limited the Terrapins to 16 baskets on 40 percent shooting and finished with a 34-22 rebounding advantage. The Cavaliers, who came in ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense, held Maryland 13 points below its season average.

Ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since the 2009-10 season, Maryland got 16 points from freshman Melo Trimble and 14 from Jake Layman.

NO. 10 VILLANOVA 84, LA SALLE 70 In Philadelphia, Darrun Hilliard and Dylan Ennis each scored 15 points to lead Villanova past La Salle.

Josh Hart and JayVaughn Pinkston each added 12 points for the Wildcats (7-0), who shot 7 of 14 from 3-point range.

Jerrell Wright scored 19 points and Khalid Lewis had 17 for the Explorers (4-3).

The Wildcats dominated from the tip and continued to play like a team intent on making a deep March run.

IOWA 60, NO. 12 NORTH CAROLINA 55 In Chapel Hill, N.C., Mike Gesell hit a driving layup through contact for the go-ahead three-point play with 1:16 left, helping Iowa upset North Carolina in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Gesell finished with 16 points for the Hawkeyes (6-2), who outfought the Tar Heels (5-2) on a night when both teams struggled to shoot straight.

Gesell’s basket was the team’s first after a 4-minute drought, but it ended up providing the winning margin on a night when the Hawkeyes won despite shooting 33 percent and going 3 for 20 from 3-point range.

After UNC’s Marcus Paige missed a

3-pointer for the tie, Gesell hit two free throws with 1 second left to seal it.

Kennedy Meeks had 15 points and 12 rebounds for UNC, which shot just 28 percent and never found any type of offensive rhythm.

NOTRE DAME 79, NO. 19 MICHIGAN STATE 78 (OT) In South Bend, Ind., Jerian Grant scored a career-high 27 points and Demetrius Jackson added a career-best 22 to help Notre Dame beat Michigan State in overtime in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

In the first meeting between the schools in 35 years, Jackson’s three-point play 2:19 into overtime put the Fighting Irish (7-1) ahead by five. His free throw with 5 seconds left helped seal the victory.

Jackson scored six of Notre Dame’s 10 points in overtime.

Denzel Valentine finished with 22 points and Branden Dawson had 16 points and a career-high 18 rebounds for Michigan State (5-3), which has played six games away from home.

NO. 23 BUTLER 77, INDIANA STATE 54 In Terre Haute, Ind., Kellen Dunham and Roosevelt Jones each scored 14 points to lead Butler past longtime rival Indiana State.

The Bulldogs (6-1) climbed into the Top 25 for the first time in nearly 22 months this week and ended a two-game losing streak in Terre Haute, where they won for the first time since 2002.

Indiana State (3-4) lost its third in a row.

Devonte Brown scored 16 to lead the Sycamores.

Lobos: NMSU will get rematch Dec. 20 Continued from Page B-1 “No one wants to talk about Devon, but I will,” Neal said, revisiting his forward’s commitment to the team during a redshirt season and now this, his junior year.

At 6-foot-8, Williams also found himself handling the ball against NMSU’s full-court press a little more than Neal would have liked. As it turned out, the Aggies were intent on pressuring UNM’s Hugh Greenwood along with Delaney and Jacobs while bringing the ball up the floor.

Because of that approach, Williams was left largely unguarded and was open for several opportunities to dribble up court.

“We recruited him to be a versatile player,” Neal said.

“But he gets a little out of control when he thinks he’s Chris Paul.”

While the mood was jovial after the game for UNM, the first 10 minutes were anything but. The Aggies (3-5) raced to a 23-10 lead behind Daniel Mullings and Ian Baker. Seemingly in control at that point, they completely fell apart after that.

The Lobos went on what amounted to a 35-12 run over the next 19-plus minutes to turn the game completely around.

Greenwood even got into the act, snapping an ugly 0-for-13 shooting slump by hitting a pair of 3-point attempts and converting a reverse layup after stealing the ball in the Aggies’ end.

“We need him,” Jacobs said.

The Lobos’ Cullen Neal, sidelined with an injury, cheers his team during Wednesday’s game against New Mexico State in Albuquerque.

MARK HOLM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“We need Hugh to be a part of this.”

Raised in Las Cruces, Jacobs was a standout player at Oñate High School before playing two years at Cochise Junior College in Arizona. An AAU teammate of Cullen Neal’s in high school, he remained in close contact with the Lobo coaching staff during his first two years in college.

It wasn’t until he was recruited to UNM as a preferred walk-on by former assistant coach Craig Snow last spring that he decided to bypass other opportunities to play for the team that he grew up rooting against.

“I went to a lot of Aggie games growing up,” he said.

“But this is a rivalry game and right now it’s all about doing

NMSU, Oklahoma State settle mascot lawsuit LAS CRUCES — New Mexico State and Oklahoma State have resolved their dispute over NMSU’s use of a pistol-packing mascot similar to the one used by the Cowboys.

Oklahoma State sued in federal court in

what I can for the Lobos.”

Jacobs said he holds no ill will toward NMSU for not recruiting him out of high school. The fact that UNM even gave him a chance is what it’s all about.

“Tim Jacobs is not a walkon,” Craig Neal said. “What he did tonight, that’s why we recruited him here. Everyone can say what they want about him being a walk-on, but he’s not a walk-on. Not how I see it.”

The Lobos took a 34-28 lead into halftime, then held New Mexico State to just four points for over 11 minutes to start the second half. Facing a basic 2-3 zone almost the entire game, the Aggies never got back on track after their fast start.

They shot just 35 percent

Oklahoma in October to get NMSU to stop using the mascot sometimes referred to in Las Cruces as “Classic Aggie.”

Oklahoma State contended the NMSU mascot was “confusingly similar” to Oklahoma State’s Pistol Pete.

A licensing agreement announced Wednesday will have NMSU pay Oklahoma State $10 a year to be allowed to con-

associations in the country.

Farr recognized that as a major hurdle to his dream.

“I knew it was going to be hard playing here,” Farr said. “It’s not really a regulated high school sport, and I was scared no one was going to see me.”

Yet, Farr set out to make it happen. He let Monroe know of his goal as a junior last fall, and Monroe decided to make him a captain. Farr did his part, scoring 42 goals and dishing out 15 assists as Prep won the state title in May. Yet, when Farr went to a lacrosse camp at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colo., he saw other players so easily getting the attention he wanted from colleges.

“I was watching all these kids get recruited by Division-one and Division-

two schools,” Farr said. “Those are schools I wanted to go to, but I wasn’t sure if I could.”

That’s when Farr took matters into his own hands and signed up on the National College Scouting Association website, posting a video and a personal statement for prospective schools to see.

Monroe said it was yet another example of Farr demonstrating leadership skills.

“All the credit goes to Hewitt,” Monroe said. “He took the initiative and put his flag out there, so to speak. In New Mexico, unfortunately a lot of our athletes are off the radar screen, especially for an emerging sport. In lacrosse, it takes a combination of coaches supporting players and helping them navigate the waters.”

Monroe’s assist came during the fall, as Brevard, Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn., and Clark University in

for the game and were 5-for-19 from 3-point range.

“We were going to play in that zone the whole game,” Neal said. “We wanted them to make some jump shots and not drive on us. We know [driving the ball] is their game, and the zone is the best way to prevent that.”

Remi Barry had a team-high 13 points for NMSU while Mullings had 10. No one else had more than seven.

The Lobos only got four combined points from premier big men Obij Aget and J.J. N’Ganga, but freshman backup center Joe Furstinger had five points a blocked shot, three assists and two rebounds in his 17 minutes. He also hit a 3-pointer midway through the first half.

Local results and schedules

Dubuque, Iowa, all showed interest in Farr.

Monroe recalled a pair of lacrosse instructors, Brian and Mike Phipps of P2 Lacrosse, who taught a skills camp at Prep, and knew Mike Phipps was an assistant at High Point (N.C.) University.

While he didn’t know Brevard head coach Mike Anderson, Monroe said Mike Phipps knew some of the assistants and that helped grease the wheels of progress for Farr.

When Farr took his visits and had tryouts at Lincoln and Brevard, he felt most comfortable in North Carolina. He even found a link to home that sealed the deal.

“One of the guys, his girlfriend is from Rio Rancho and she goes there,” Farr said.

“It was just something to talk about, but it was fun.”

NBA ROUNDUP

NFL

76ers snap 0-17 start with win over T’wolves

TE Thomas edges closer to his return

The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The Philadelphia 76ers avoided tying the record for the worst start to a season in NBA history, ending 76ers 85 their 0-17 skid with an 85-77 T’wolves 77 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.

Michael Carter-Williams had 20 points, nine rebounds and nine assists and Robert Covington added 17 points to keep Philadelphia from tying the 0-18 start by the New Jersey Nets in 2009-10.

The game got off to an awkward start when 16 seconds into the first quarter, referees realized that the two teams were going in the wrong direction. A foul on the Timberwolves had to be wiped away and the game restarted with a new jump ball.

The Sixers shot just 39 percent against the worst defense in the league and turned the ball over 19 times. They scored only nine points in the second quarter, but in the end there were smiles and hugs for the first time this season.

NETS 95, SPURS 93 (OT) In New York, Mirza Teletovic had a season-high 26 points and a careerbest 15 rebounds starting in place of Kevin Garnett, and the Brooklyn Nets snapped the San Antonio Spurs’ eight-game winning streak with an overtime victory.

The Nets regrouped in overtime after blowing a 14-point lead in the final 5 minutes of regulation and beat a team with a winning record for the first time this season.

BULLS 102, HORNETS 95 In Charlotte, N.C., Pau Gasol had 19 points and 15 rebounds, Joakim Noah and Nikola Mirotic each posted double-doubles, and the Chicago Bulls sent the Charlotte Hornets to their 10th straight loss.

Noah had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Mirotic added 11 points and 12 rebounds as the Bulls bounced back from a double-overtime loss to Dallas on Tuesday night.

CELTICS 109, PISTONS 102 (OT) In Boston, Jeff Green scored 32 points, including a 3-pointer as Boston opened overtime with eight straight points, and the Celtics snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Detroit Pistons.

The loss was the 10th in a row for Detroit. Greg Monroe scored 15 of his 29 points after the 3:13 mark of the fourth, when the Pistons erased an 11-point deficit. But Detroit never recovered after giving up the first three baskets — including a pair of 3-pointers — to start the extra period.

RAPTORS 123, JAZZ 104 In Salt Lake City, Kyle Lowry scored a season-high 39 points on 13-of-22 shooting as the Toronto Raptors sent the Utah Jazz to their seventh straight loss.

Greivis Vasquez and Lou Williams each had 17 for the Raptors.

ROCKETS 105, GRIZZLIES 96 In Houston, James Harden scored 21 points, and Trevor Ariza and Jason Terry added 16 each to help the shorthanded Houston Rockets cruise past Memphis.

The Grizzlies had won five in a row, and their two previous losses this season had been by a combined 5 points.

MAVERICKS 107, BUCKS 105 In Milwaukee, Monta Ellis hit a wild, fall-away jumper at the buzzer, lifting the Dallas Mavericks over the Milwaukee Bucks.

A night after Ellis scored 38 points in a double-overtime win at Chicago, he got 23. He had eight in the last two minutes.

The Mavericks won their fifth in a row while resting Dirk Nowitzki because of a sore back. Coach Rick Carlisle called it a “precautionary” move.

HAWKS 112, HEAT 102 In Miami, Jeff Teague scored 27 points, Kyle Korver scored 18 and the Atlanta Hawks handed the Miami Heat another home loss.

Dennis Schroder scored 16 and Paul Millsap finished with 14 for the Hawks, who beat the Heat for the second time in two meetings this season.

WIZARDS 111, LAKERS 95 In Washington, Bradley Beal scored 27 points, John Wall had 17 points and 15 assists, and the Washington Wizards beat Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Wizards won their third straight and prevented the Lakers from getting their first three-game winning streak in more than a year.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos haven’t missed tight end Julius Thomas — until they reach the red zone.

The Broncos (9-3) have scored just six touchdowns on 15 trips inside the opponents’ 20-yard line since Thomas sprained his left ankle in the first quarter at St. Louis three weeks ago.

That 40 percent red zone efficiency pales in comparison to the 77 percent success rate (24 for 31) they had before Thomas got hurt.

“Julius is one of our top players, and when you have one of your top players go out, you are going to miss him,” Peyton Manning said Wednesday. “We hope to get Julius back out there. There’s no question when he’s out there he makes a difference, he makes a lot of plays for us.”

Thomas leads the league with a dozen TD catches even though he hasn’t scored since Nov. 9. He was limited at practice Wednesday and hopes to return to action this weekend against the Buffalo Bills (7-5).

Last week at Kansas City, the Broncos settled for five field goals from Connor Barth after stalling at Kansas City’s 4, 6, 11, 14 and 19.

“I’m looking forward to getting back,” Thomas said, “so maybe my presence can have us kicking a little bit less field goals.”

Manning called it unfair to blame Denver’s red zone woes solely on the absence of Thomas.

“I can’t point it there,” said Manning, who lamented his missed connections with Demaryius Thomas and Jacob Tamme last week when

the Broncos scored on just one of six trips inside the 20 before a gameending kneel-down at the 7.

“Every red zone opportunity has its own story,” Manning said.

“Nobody wants to hear it. They just want to see if you got a touchdown or a field goal. Some way, we’ve got to find a way — I’ve got to find a way — to help us get into the end zone with Julius or without him.”

Thomas’ return would add an intriguing challenge not only for the Bills but for the Broncos, who have had success emphasizing the run in Thomas’ absence.

Behind an O-line that’s jelling after a midseason shake-up, the insertion of third tackle Paul Cornick and the return of physical tight end Virgil Green, C.J. Anderson has run for 335 yards in back-to-back wins over Miami and Kansas City.

“C.J. has been awesome the past couple of weeks and it’s been awesome to watch,” Manning said.

If Thomas returns to the lineup, “I don’t really know how it’s going to change them,” Bills coach Doug Marrone said. “Obviously, they’ve got another great player coming back.

They can do so many things. They

can hurt you so many ways. That’s a challenge and you have to be careful.

If you try to take someone out or you try to take someone away, they have so much talent on that offense that they’ll exploit whatever weakness you have whether it’s by putting too many guys in the box or putting too many in coverage.”

The Broncos want Thomas on the field but they don’t want to take Green out — he was sorely missed in all three of Denver’s losses. The game plan was built around him as a fullback and a second tight end at Seattle in Week 3, but he sustained a concussion on the first drive. His calf injury sidelined him at New England and St. Louis.

With Green back in the lineup, Denver has piled up 415 yards rushing the last two weeks.

Thomas said his return to action wouldn’t necessarily mean the Broncos will go back to throwing the ball more. “We’re going to go with whatever’s working well, and for us, we’ve been able to run that ball consistently well, and if that’s the case, we’ll continue to do that when I get back,” he said.

Green said he can’t venture a guess as to what happens upon Thomas’ return, but he knows one thing: “He’s a red zone nightmare.”

NOTES u WR Demaryius Thomas (foot) and C Will Montgomery (knee) were limited Wednesday. u Bills QB Kyle Orton didn’t want to reminisce about his time in Denver.

Asked at the end of a five-minute conference call what comes to mind when he thinks about Denver, he replied, “The mountains,” then added, “See ya,” and hung up.

Cowboys: Bears want to hand Dallas 1st road loss Continued from Page B-1 Of course, this week’s opponent knows all about disappointment.

A loss at Detroit last Thursday all but assured the Bears will miss the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years.

And the Bears may also be without kicker Robbie Gould this week. He was listed as doubtful because of a right quadriceps injury and the Bears signed veteran Jay Feely on Wednesday.

Chicago is basically in the spoiler role now, hoping to hand the Cowboys their first road loss. Dallas is a leaguebest 5-0 this season and has won six straight away from home since a 45-28 pounding at Soldier Field on a bonechilling night last December.

Here are some things to look for in this game:

Bounce back: Dallas’ Tony Romo looks to rebound from a rough game.

Coming off back surgery last December and another back injury suffered on a sack in October, he appeared to be the Cowboys player most affected by the quick turnaround before last week’s game. He got sacked four times and intercepted twice while throwing for 199 yards, and his rating for the game was 53.7 compared to 106.2 for the season.

It also wasn’t a good game for the defense, which gave up a season-high 464 yards against the Eagles.

The lion and gazelle: Bears tight end Martellus Bennett acknowledged he and Witten were not exactly best friends when they were teammates in Dallas. Part of that stems from the fact that he was a young player looking for an opportunity to contribute that was not there with a veteran ahead of him.

“Every single year there’s a lion coming out of college,” Bennett said.

“You know what I’m saying? And every single year there’s an old guy in the NFL who’s a gazelle. And every single morning the gazelle wakes up because the gazelle has to run, otherwise the lion catches it. So every single morning the lion wakes up he chases the gazelle. In that situation I was the lion. I didn’t catch the gazelle, though. I had to go to another jungle.”

Bennett had 85 receptions in four seasons with the Cowboys (2008-11).

He made a big jump with the New York Giants in 2012, catching 55 passes, and he has emerged as one of the top players at his position in two seasons with the Bears.

Bennett is tied with Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski for league lead among tight ends with 65 catches and has 737 yards receiving.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Atlanta Falcons’ White offers encouragement to UAB players

By John Zenor The Associated Press

UAB linebacker Jordan Ricks has been amazed by the support since the announcement that the program was being dismantled.

Auburn and Alabama fans reached out on social media and thousands have watched video he captured of the players’ emotional reaction after university President Ray Watts told the team of his decision Tuesday. A professor even pushed back a deadline on a paper and trimmed the requirement by a couple of pages.

The professor “understands that a lot of us are having to pick up and move in a little less than a month, and figure out where we’re going,” said Ricks, a Birmingham native who grew up going to UAB games. “You have to focus on school and everything but your mind is still on this. It’s like, ‘What’s your next move?’ There’s a little bit of confusion.”

The Blazers got the news a few days after completing the best season in a decade under first-year coach Bill Clark.

The raw emotion on display at the meeting with Watts was evident in the video, which drew more than 450,000 views on YouTube by Wednesday evening.

Tristan Henderson, a 26-year-old tight end, rose from his seat a few feet from Watts and talked of serving in the military before college.

“I was in a bunker in Iraq,” Henderson, who is from Los Alamitos, Calif., told Watts. “I watched two of my soldiers walk out and get blown up. Two of them, right in front of me.

And from that day on I knew what a brotherhood was. I felt it. … In my soul I felt it. When I came here, that’s what this turned in to.

That’s what this is.”

He spoke of trying to answer his 3-year-old son’s question about what’s going to happen.

“There’s 18-year-olds in here, 17-year-olds,” Henderson said. “What are they supposed to do? Some of these cats came from 3,000 miles

away to be a part of this, to be a part of all of this. But you say numbers. That’s what you come to us and say, numbers.”

UAB cited a 16-page report from consultant Bill Carr indicating it would cost at least another $49 million over the next five years to field a competitive football team, including such expenses as a new field house. The university cited rising costs in college athletics including paying cost of attendance, which Carr estimated at $5,442 for each player.

Ricks, who sat out the season after back surgery, said some teammates aren’t sure they want to keep playing football “because they don’t want to play with anybody else. We know each other so well.”

Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White, a former UAB star, said Wednesday that he was “saddened” by news that the university was shutting down the program. He also offered encouraging words for players left without a team.

Another gear: Not that he’s in much danger of losing the rushing title, but DeMarco Murray’s pace has slowed a little in recent weeks.

He ran for a season-low 73 yards on 20 carries against Philadelphia. And in the four games since he ran for 141 against Washington, he is averaging just over 93 yards.

Even so, he still leads the rushing race by nearly 400 yards with 1,427.

Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell is second with 1,046.

Balancing act: The run-pass balance has been an issue for the Bears this season, and it came to the forefront again last week at Detroit.

Chicago ran the ball just eight times for 13 yards, with Matt Forte matching a career low with five carries for 6 yards. He called for more balance this week, as did coach Marc Trestman, quarterback Jay Cutler and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer.

Winston: Was never arrested Continued from Page B-1 Harding will use those briefs as the basis for his decision, which is supposed to come within 10 class days after the hearing ends.

Both parties have an opportunity to request an appeal within five days of the initial hearing decision.

Florida State’s fall semester ends next week and the potential ramifications for Winston range from a reprimand to expulsion from school.

Attorneys for both Winston and the former FSU student had starkly different assessments of how the hearing went for their clients.

David Cornwell, an adviser for Winston and his family, said the hearing contained “more inconsistencies” and “more lies” about what happened in December 2012. He said that there was “no evidence” presented that should prompt a hearing officer to find Winston violated FSU’s conduct rules. Cornwell repeated his assertions that the entire point of the hearing was to establish a record that could be used in a potential civil lawsuit against the Heisman Trophy winner.

“It was clear what this was about, absolutely clear what this was about, it is a shakedown,” Cornwell said.

Clune brushed aside Cornwell’s statements, saying that the hearing went well enough that he thinks there is enough evidence presented to convince the hearing officer to expel Winston from school.

“The testimony came in as we had hoped it would,” Clune said.

While Clune acknowledged that his client had testified, it was not clear that Winston answered any questions during the proceedings. Clune also said the prospect of a civil lawsuit could depend on what happens to Winston.

Winston was never arrested following an investigation of the woman’s allegation. Prosecutor Willie Meggs declined to file criminal charges last year, citing a lack of evidence.

The Associated Press does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual abuse.

The hearing was closed to the public and media.

Winston did not speak to reporters outside the campus building and is expected to lead the Seminoles against Georgia Tech Saturday in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.

t’s time to embrace the winter and put on your snowshoes.

As the saying goes, if you can hike, you can snowshoe — and enjoy all your favorite trails throughout the winter. There is nothing more magical than striding out after a fresh snowfall. You’ll relish the peace while burning calories at a rapid rate. It’s a really great cardio workout, and good for body and soul.

If you’re a novice, you can rent snowshoes from a local outfitters or borrow a friend’s pair to give it a try. Chances are, you’ll be hooked and can buy your very own quite reasonably from around $100 to $300.

Wear your normal hiking boots, dress in layers and pack a thermos of hot tea if you’re going out for a while. Poles are optional in snowshoeing, just as they are in hiking. Snowshoes grip the snow with crampons at the toes and heel, so you can feel secure on slippery slopes. You can cover the same distances as you would with a hike, but when you’re breaking trail on fresh snow, allow for extra time and effort.

As for where to go, you can simply head for your normal hiking haunts. In Santa Fe, the Norski Track just below the ski basin is designed for cross-country skiers, but people do snowshoe beside the ski trail (snowshoers are not always appreciated by skiers as they tend to obliterate nicely groomed ski tracks).

The most popular trail is Aspen Vista, and if you’re ambitious, it’s a 6-mile trek up to Tesuque Peak. Other hiking trails — which are frankly much more suitable for snowshoes rather than skis — are the Chamisa Trail or the Winsor Trail to La Vega, Nambé Lake or Ravens Ridge.

Another good starting point is Big Tesuque — either up to Aspen Vista, or for a two-car option you can start just above Big Tesuque on U.S. Forest Service Road 102 and snowshoe to the trailhead on Pacheco Canyon Road about 7 miles downhill.

If you prefer “groomed trails,” there are plenty of these in our fair state, many near Santa Fe. These areas sometimes allow snowshoers alongside the ski tracks and sometimes have separate trails specifically for snowshoes. Just as hikers and mountain bikers are expected to share the trails, so it is for crosscountry skiers and snowshoers.

n the spring and summer, it makes sense for birds to pair off. After all, three’s a crowd when it comes to mating season.

But, once young birds have fledged and temperatures start to cool, it’s smart for birds to join forces. There is safety in numbers. It takes a lot of time, energy and focus to hunt for food and keep an eye out for predators. Flocking together means that lots of eyes and ears are looking and listening for cats, hawks and other dangers.

Some of the birds you might see in winter flocks in trees tend to include mountain chickadees, kinglets, downy woodpeckers, yellow-rumped warblers, brown creepers and nuthatches. Chatty chickadees tend to be the leaders of this type of pack. They are very alert and are quick to send out verbal warnings to others.

Often, the species in these winter flocks don’t compete directly for the same food.

Chickadees easily flit from branch to branch seeking all types of food offered by a tree. Creepers hug the trunk looking for food, while nuthatches come down the tree headfirst. Downy woodpeckers tend to move from side to side on the trunk, sometimes even hanging horizontally from a branch. Warblers and kinglets are small and can easily cling to the tips of the branches looking for food.

Because these birds find their nutrition in slightly different places on the same tree, they don’t seem to impact each other negatively. Or, at least, the benefits of being together outweigh any negatives.

Look for chickadees, kinglets, yellowrumped warblers, woodpeckers and nuthatches at your suet feeder. Hang your suet feeder in or near a tree to best encourage them to visit. Spreadable suet, called bark butter, is an excellent way to feed all of these wintertime tree birds. I like to smear it directly onto the trunk of a tree where all of these birds can easily access it. A birdseed mix loaded with sunflower will also satisfy mixed flocks. Try a high-fat winter blend, which usually includes sunflower, nuts and suet nuggets.

Winter flocks that feed on the ground may include juncos and white-crowned sparrows. Although these birds often eat the same types of seed from the ground, there is usually enough to go around.

Tossing some mixed seed, which includes millet, directly onto the ground will keep these ground feeding birds happy. Clear an open patch for feeding if snow begins to accumulate.

Pine siskins and wintering American goldfinches will sometimes flock together in the winter and will often be frequent visitors at your thistle feeder. Fresh thistle brings more birds. Dense crowds of these finches can sometimes spread disease to one another, so be sure to clean the feeder regularly and sweep or rake the ground beneath the feeder. You don’t want birds to be eating thistle from the ground if the ground is covered with weeks-worth of old seed and bird droppings. Hygiene is important when large flocks of birds come together. If you think about it, the same thing is true of people.

As I’ve written many times, be sure to provide open water for your birds in the colder months. A de-icer or heated birdbath usually does the trick. I haven’t found a solar de-icer that works well yet, so electric is still the way to go. Some have thermostats so they are on only when they need to be.

Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe and she loves to hear your bird stories. She and her sisters wrote For the Birds: A Month by Month Guide to Attracting Birds to Your Backyard. Anne’s new book, Birdhouses of the World, is out now.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Mom wants teen to pay for tuition Dear Annie: I have been married for 28 years to a hardworking man. We have one teenage daughter. “Kara” is very smart, and my husband spoils her rotten. Kara has her own car, and my husband gives her money whenever she asks for it. We have some money saved in a college account for her, but she wants to attend an elite school that is more than we can afford. We won’t qualify for financial aid.

I think Kara needs to take the money we have saved and figure the rest out, but my opinion doesn’t matter. My husband will now delay retirement in order to pay for her to go to the school of her dreams. I think this is wrong, and it’s causing much tension in our household. What is your opinion? — Annoyed Mom Dear Annoyed: Your husband is willing to do whatever he can to give Kara what she wants. You don’t think an expensive school is worth it (probably isn’t), and you were looking forward to his retirement. We also suspect you harbor some resentment toward your husband, as well as Kara, for his indulgence of her.

This isn’t so much about “winning” the argument as it is about accepting whatever decision is reached. We suggest you and your husband sit down with an unbiased third party and speak openly of your concerns. If Kara doesn’t go to her expensive college, will she use it as an excuse to blame her parents if she isn’t successful? Will your resentment boil over and create a permanent rift? Would your husband be willing to have Kara take out student loans for a portion of the cost?

Hopefully, your discussion will allow for some kind of agreement so that each of you can let go of whatever resentment currently exists.

Dear Annie: I love my family and friends dearly, but some of them think it is perfectly OK to stop by unannounced. I ask only for a simple phone call to see whether it is a convenient time for them to pop in. They all have cellphones, so it’s not a matter of them being unable to call. I understand the occasional unan-

nounced visit, but not every time.

How can I get them to stop? — G. Dear G.: If you answered the door in your birthday suit, you might get them to call first, but don’t bet on it. Some people believe it is flattering that they feel so welcome, they pop in without notice. And while you might appreciate the thought, it is also inconsiderate to show up and interrupt your day when you may have other things going on.

You can say, “I wish I’d known you were stopping by. I have to run out. Sorry.” And then leave. Or you can close the blinds and not answer the door, but we suspect if you were willing to do that, they would already know to phone first.

Dear Annie: “No Name” was unhappy because his wife refuses sex. I’m sure my husband could have written that letter, but there’s more to it.

Sex is easy. Intimacy is where the work and effort must be applied. Intimacy begins with a couple being able to discuss anything without the other person reacting badly. It begins by treating each other with respect, letting the spouse know she is loved. And liked. Friendship is the most solid basis for intimacy that I know of.

My husband and I have been together a long time, but it’s pretty much all about him. He doesn’t like to talk about anything unless I agree with him completely. Anything else is criticizing or complaining. If I ask him to do something, I’m giving him orders. He refused to be close to me unless it was for sex. So I cut him off about 10 years ago. We tried counseling, but he lied at every session.

There are reasons why we are still together, but I can’t help wondering for how long. — Together but Alone Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might have the urge to add a little spark to your day. You could discover that you seem to be triggered easily. Tonight: Pretend that it’s the weekend already.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Something you shrug off today could ignite an argument in the next few weeks. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You’ll convey your good intentions. Step back and take an overview of a private matter that’s close to your heart. Tonight: Hang out at a local haunt.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might have some insight into a situation that you won’t want to share with others just yet.

Tonight: Think “weekend.”

Today in history

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Today Mars, the planet of energy, moves into your sign. As a result, you are likely to express more vitality and draw many people toward you.

Tonight: Head home first.

Today is Thursday, Dec. 4, the 338th day of 2014. There are 27 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Dec. 4, 1984, a five-day hijack drama began as four armed men seized a Kuwaiti airliner en route to Pakistan and forced it to land in Tehran, where the hijackers killed American passenger Charles Hegna.

(A second American, William Stanford, also was killed during the siege before Iranian security seized control of the plane.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others might want to lure you into their way of thinking. A friend or loved one could seem a bit touchy. Do yourself a favor and wait to discuss this matter. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.
