ANCHORAGE, Alaska — American Indian and Alaska Native children are exposed to violence at rates higher than any other social group in the nation, according to a new report that urges creation of a new Native American affairs office, additional federal funding and other measures to prevent the problem.

The report released Tuesday by a U.S. Department of Justice advisory committee reflects information gathered at public hearings across the country in 2013 and 2014.

“We discovered something we’d known when we started — that this is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed,” committee co-chairwoman and former U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota said during a teleconference.

Based on the public input and research, the committee assessed the effects of violence on tribal youth and came up with an action plan.

The report’s goal is to be a catalyst for action by Congress and the Obama administration, said Dorgan, who served as chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee until his retirement in 2010.

“State and federal governments must recognize and respect the primacy of tribal governments,” the report said.

According to the report, exposure to violence results in American Indian and Alaska Native children experiencing post-traumatic stress at three times the rate of the non-Native population. The task force compared the level of stress to that of veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.

The study says 75 percent of deaths among indigenous children between the ages of 12 and 20 are caused by violence, including homicides and suicides.

Alaska Native children were singled out as having the worst conditions systemically for various reasons including Alaska’s vastness, remoteness and steep transportation costs, along with a lack of respect for tribal sovereignty.

Among recommendations specific to the state, the report urges that more sovereignty be granted to Alaska Native tribes. Currently the only reservation in the state is the

WASHINGTON very time Berzabeth Valdez heads out to work from her mobile home on the outskirts of Houston, it crosses her mind that she might not come back.

Valdez, 48, is a Mexican immigrant who has been living in Texas for 11 years without legal papers, and so without a driver’s license.

E

u The president will explain his executive actions at 6 p.m. today.

For her commute to her job as a restaurant manager, she keeps her taillights in working order and never speeds.

“We are terrified of the police,” Valdez said. “One traffic ticket could end in deportation. I could lose my whole life, everything I

have gained for my family.”

One of Valdez’s daughters grew tired of living with those fears and joined an organization of young undocumented immigrants.

The youths, who call themselves Dreamers, won protection from deportation from President Barack Obama in 2012 and continued to press him to extend those measures to others in the country illegally.

Immigrants in the country illegally already are flooding attorneys’ offices with calls to see if they can qualify under President Barack Obama’s yet-to-be-announced plan to shield as many as 5 million immigrants from deportation. In New Mexico, advocates are reaching out to immigrants to let them know how the shift in policy will impact them, even before the ramifications

Obama said he’ll reveal the longawaited order on Thursday. Alex Galvez, an immigration lawyer in Los Angeles, said he’s going to need to add phone lines to keep up with the demand. Orange County, Calif.based immigration lawyer Annalu-

Uber, an Internet-based ride service, launched operations Wednesday in Santa Fe, giving competition to the only cab company in town.

The $17 billion startup company, which calls itself a ride-sharing service, has a presence in 230 cities worldwide, including Albuquerque.

The company pays subcontractors to pick up passengers in their own vehicles. People needing a lift can use a smartphone app to summon a car and have the fare billed to a credit card. A photo of the driver and car is sent to the passenger, along with a text message about the estimated time of arrival. The passenger also can track the vehicle.

The company has run into resistance from traditional taxi firms as it spreads from city to city, and Santa Fe will be no different.

“Uber is operating an illegal and unregulated taxi service,” Matt Knowles, president of Capital City Cab in Santa Fe, said in an email.

“They’re offering service in vehicles that haven’t had the required inspections. Their vehicles are not insured under any commercial policy, only by

In brief JetBlue Airways Corp. said Wednesday that it will create three ticket classes beginning in the first half of 2015, and only the top two include at least one free checked bag.

Other big airlines have added fees on checked bags since 2008, and JetBlue’s move will leave Southwest as the only large U.S. airline that allows all passengers to check at least one bag for free.

NEW DELHI — A self-styled “godman,” or guru, was arrested late Wednesday after a tense weeklong standoff with the police, who had attempted to storm the heavily fortified compound where he was blockaded with an estimated 15,000 followers.

Baba Rampal Maharaj, 63, considers himself the reincarnation of Kabir, a 15th-century mystic poet.

The police in Haryana sought to arrest him on charges of conspiracy to murder, incitement of violence and contempt of court in connection with a confrontation in 2006 between his disciples and adherents of another sect.

Six people died in the compound, including several whose bodies were brought out Wednesday.

Employers stay with health benefits WASHINGTON — The Affordable Care Act so far has not prompted the nation’s employers to drop health benefits for some or all of their workers as critics of the law had predicted, according to two major surveys released Wednesday.

The surveys of more than 3,000 employers, by the Employee Benefits Research Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management, also found relatively little tendency to narrow the groups offered coverage.

One in 12 employers said they are eliminating coverage for the spouses of their workers, while 1 in 76 said they are dropping insurance for parttime employees.

7 killed in China hospital attack BEIJING — China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported that six nurses and one janitor were killed early Thursday in a knife attack at a hospital in a northeastern resort town favored by the country’s Communist Party elite.

Xinhua said a 27-yead-old man was believed to have carried out the attack in the seaside town of Beidaihe, about 185 miles east of Beijing.

China has in recent years seen a series of attacks on medical professionals by people who blame doctors and nurses for the deaths of relatives.

Shovelers turned walkways into head-high canyons. A woman gave birth in a firehouse after the snow prevented her from reaching the hospital.

Even for Buffalo, a place that typically shrugs at snow, this was an epic snowfall, the kind of onslaught folks will be telling their grandchildren about.

The Buffalo area found itself buried under as much as 5½ feet of snow Wednesday, with another lake-effect storm expected to bring 2 to 3 more feet by late Thursday.

“This is an historic event. When all is said and done, this snowstorm will break all sorts of records, and that’s saying something in Buffalo,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a visit to the city.

The storm came in so fast and furious over Lake Erie early Tuesday it trapped more than 100 vehicles along a 132-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway, which remained closed Wednesday. People were marooned at homes, on highways and at work. Residents who can handle 6 inches of snow as if it were a light dusting were forced to improvise.

How snowy was it? The National Weather Service said it was so bad that some of the spotters it relies on to update accumulation totals couldn’t get out of their houses to take measurements.

Cuomo said Wednesday afternoon that all trapped travelers had been removed from their cars, though some truckers were staying with their rigs.

The storm was blamed for up to seven deaths in western New York, at least four of them from heart attacks. Erie County officials said a man was discovered in his car, which was in a ditch and buried

Sunny skies returned to some hard-hit areas Wednesday, but workers were still trying to cart off the acres of snow. Lake-effect snow fell heavily on some northern New York areas east of Lake Ontario.

With an additional 2 to 3 feet possible by Thursday, the oneweek totals for the Buffalo area will approach the average snowfall for a year: 93.6 inches, or close to 8 feet.

Cuomo warned that a weekend warm-up could lead to significant flooding when the thick blanket of snow melts. Forecasters say rain is possible this weekend.

The highest snowfall total for the Buffalo area this time was 65 inches, recorded in Cheektowaga.

The heaviest 24-hour snowfall on record in the Lower 48 states is 75.8 inches, which fell at Silver Lake, Colo., in 1921, according to the government.

CHICAGO — Taking a cholesterol-lowering drug for five years in middle age can lower heart and death risks for decades afterward, and the benefits seem to grow over time, a landmark study finds. Doctors say it’s the first evidence that early use of a statin can have a legacy effect, perhaps changing someone’s odds of disease for good.

“It might be a lifetime effect,” said one study leader, Dr. Chris Packard of the University of Glasgow in Scotland.

The results are from the West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Trial, the first study ever to show that statins could prevent heart problems in people who had not yet developed clogged arteries but had high LDL, the bad type of cholesterol.

The watershed trial led to these drugs — sold as Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor and now in generic form — becoming a mainstay of treatment and one of the most prescribed medicines around the world.

The long-term results were discussed at an American Heart Association conference that ended Wednesday in Chicago.

The study, which started in 1989, involved about 6,600 Scottish men, ages 45 to 64, with high LDL — around 190, on average. Half were given the statin Pravachol and the rest, dummy pills. Five years later, there were 35 percent fewer heartrelated deaths and also fewer heart attacks in the statin group.

Once the study ended, the men went back to their regular doctors, and about one-third of both groups kept or started taking a statin. This means any differences seen years later probably is due to whether they took statins during the five-year study, Packard explained.

Scotland has national health care and good electronic medical records, so researchers were able to document what happened to more than 90 percent of the men.

Twenty year after the study began, the risk of heart-related deaths was 27 percent lower among the men who took Pravachol for those first five years rather than dummy pills.

“The big surprise” was a 31 percent lower risk of heart failure in the group initially assigned to take the statin, Packard said.

Doctors have long suspected that the way statins work gives benefits beyond lowering cholesterol, and the heart failure result supports that theory, Packard said.

“This is another stone in the foundation supporting the value of preventive cardiology,” said Dr. Sidney C. Smith Jr., a former Heart Association president from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Other factors might have played some role in how these men fared, but “nevertheless, a moderate-dose statin taken for primary prevention shows longterm benefit.”

Jerusalem attack deepens divisions Mayor is working with Arab leaders to ease tensions

By Josef Federman The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Streets are subdued, marketplaces are quiet and people are on edge in Jewish areas of Jerusalem, where Arabs have been using meat cleavers, guns, screwdrivers and even their cars in deadly, small-scale attacks. The holy city — which Israel says must forever stay united — has rarely seemed more divided.

In their 47th year of occupation, Palestinians are seething with anger over neglect and discrimination, continued Jewish settlement in their areas.

This anger, coupled with Jewish fears of further violence, has left the city’s 800,000 residents apprehensive, seemingly united in the belief that things will get worse before they get better.

“I’m really not safe, and before leaving the house I think twice,” said Sara Levi, a 22-yearold stay at home mother. “We are not calm, and we hope there is going to be an end to this, and that it is not just a beginning.”

Levi spoke as she waited at a stop for Jerusalem’s light rail train — a frequent target of Palestinian violence. The trains, meant to serve as a symbol of a united city, are frequently pelted with stones when passing through Palestinian areas. There have been two deadly attacks in recent weeks by ramming cars into crowded stations.

In a separate attack, a Palestinian gunman on a motorcycle shot and seriously wounded a prominent Jewish activist who has pushed for greater Jewish access to the city’s most sensitive holy site — the hilltop compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

The violence reached a new turning point Tuesday when two Palestinian attackers burst into a crowded synagogue during morning prayers, killing four worshippers and a policeman with the meat cleavers and gunfire. It was the deadliest attack in the city since 2008, and gruesome pictures of blood-covered holy books and prayer shawls shocked a country long accustomed to political violence.

Putin greets new U.S. ambassador, hints at better relations with West MOSCOW — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Wednesday said that Moscow and Washington could find avenues of practical cooperation if the partnership were based on “mutual respect and pragmatism.”

It may have seemed a frosty reception for John F. Tefft, the new U.S. ambassador to Russia, who presented his credentials at a ceremony in the gilded St. Alexander Hall in the Kremlin, but given Putin’s more bellicose statements of late, the president’s remarks seemed almost diplomatic.

“We are ready for practical cooperation with our American partners in all different areas, based on the principles of respect for each other’s interests, equality and nonintervention in domestic affairs,” Putin said, as he addressed Tefft and 14 other diplomats who presented their credentials during the ceremony.

has served as ambassador to Ukraine, Georgia and Lithuania, has kept a low profile since arriving in Moscow in September, as relations between the United States and Russia have descended to their worst since the Cold War. Putin has blamed the West for sparking the conflict in Ukraine and told political supporters on Monday that the United States sought to “subjugate” Russia.

The United States and the European Union have leveled punishing sanctions against Russia in response to its annexation of Crimea and subsequent sponsorship of separatists in a proxy war in southeastern Ukraine.

Tefft’s predecessor, Michael McFaul, left Moscow in February after a stormy two-year term in which he aimed to engage with ordinary Russians but was accused of being sent to foment revolution.

The threat against reporters is the latest in a string of controversies swirling around the company.

The mayor said he doesn’t know how Uber will affect Capital Cab. “I’m thankful for the work that they do here in Santa Fe,” Gonzales said. “I’ve called on them, and they’ve been responsive.”

But, he said, the city needs to expand transportation options. “This isn’t only doing that,” he said, “but it’s allowing another vehicle for underemployed people in Santa Fe to grow the number of hours that they’re working and have some additional income.”

Knowles at Capital Cab criticized the ride-sharing service for other reasons. “Unlike legally operating taxis,” he said, it doesn’t serve everyone.

“Instead, Uber only serves folks who have both a smartphone and a valid credit card.

This means Uber’s operation is inherently biased against the poor, minorities and the elderly.”

Thompson said the new service, whose phone app allows users to see the driver’s location in real time, offers not only convenience but consumer choice. “Our market is anyone with a smartphone,” he said. “It can be anybody.”

Thompson declined to talk about the controversy over whether the company considered targeting media critics and their families, saying the company’s CEO had addressed the matter in public statements that including apologies for what he thought were off-the-record comments at a dinner party that included media representatives.

“The focus today is really on the excitement that the general public as well as the driver partner community have about bringing Uber to Santa Fe and the fact that Mayor Gonzales was our ‘rider zero’ and is welcoming us with open arms,” he said.

“That’s an exciting thing for us.”

Parents: 5M could earn right to remain Continued from Page A-1 On Thursday, Obama will announce changes to the immigration enforcement system that will allow as many as 5 million immigrants to remain and work legally. But the youths will face a bittersweet ending, because White House officials have decided to leave out their parents, according to advocates familiar with the plans.

According to The Associated Press, as many as 5 million people in the country illegally are likely to be protected from deportation and made eligible for work permits under the plan. They would not have a path to citizenship, however, and the actions could be reversed by a new president in two years. Officials said the eligible immigrants would not be entitled to federal benefits — including health care tax credits — under Obama’s plan.

“It’s getting so hard to call my mom,” said María Fernanda Cabello, 23, Valdez’s activist daughter. “I’ve had to tell her, ‘There is a victory coming and I don’t know if you’re part of it.’ ” Obama will grant deportation reprieves to undocumented parents whose children are American citizens and legal permanent residents if they have lived in the country for five years and have not committed serious crimes, administration officials said. Officials say the president can exercise prosecutorial discretion to avoid breaking up families of children entitled to be in the country and to steer enforcement agents toward deporting criminals and foreigners who pose national security threats.

But some senior administration officials have argued it would be more difficult both legally and politically to make the case for including parents of immigrants in the existing program for young people who came when they were children, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Since that program is based on executive action by Obama, the youths have deportation deferrals and work permits but no green cards or any other visa or formal immigration status, which only

Congress can confer. Their parents’ claim for relief is weaker, the officials said.

The president is facing angry opposition from Republicans to his new initiatives. Calling Obama’s plans “executive amnesty,” Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, an outspoken adversary, accused him of seizing sole power to decide who can live and work in the United States. “Surrendering to illegality is not an option,” Sessions said.

Republicans are considering different ways to stop funding for the president’s new measures and for the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Even after receiving their own reprieves, the youths played a large role in bringing a reluctant president to take more sweeping action unilaterally. They mobilized law professors to build Obama’s legal case. Early this year, when the president was urging activists to pressure Republicans in the House to take up an immigration bill passed by the Senate, young immigrants decided there was little chance the House would act.

Instead, they dogged Obama, interrupting his speeches and staging street sit-ins at his events.

The hints that their parents could be excluded by the White House have stunned many youths.

“It’s really hard to process when we’ve been pushing so hard for this,” said Cabello, an organizer in Texas for United We Dream, a national network of youth groups. “I cry every time I think about it.”

The White House will expand the current Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by eliminating the age cap for eligibility, which now excludes those over 30, or adjusting other requirements, measures youth leaders said they would welcome.

According to estimates by the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research organization, about 3.3 million undocumented parents have children who are citizens or legal residents and have been living in the U.S. for at least five years. Many families have some

children born in other countries and some who are citizens born in the United States, and the number of eligible immigrants would increase only to 3.4 million if the parents of youths in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program were included.

But for young people in families with no American-born children, it is bitterly frustrating that they have to continue to worry whenever their parents go out the door. In October, Valdez recalled, her car was rammed while she was stopped at a red light. An apologetic American driver explained that she was wearing a new pair of high heels and had been unable to press the brake in time.

“Let’s just forget about it,” Valdez said, eyeing her crumpled fender, and she left to avoid calling the police.

Another activist born in Mexico, Carolina Canizales, 24, said she recalled her conflicting emotions when she received her deferral documents two years ago, her first legal immigration papers.

“What wouldn’t I do for my mother?” said Canizales, also a leader of United We Dream. “I want her to experience the relief I felt when I held my work permit in my hand.”

Her mother, Maria Canizales, 61, came to the United States in 1998 fleeing an alcoholic husband and raised her two daughters in San Antonio.

Democratic lawmakers have tried to persuade Obama to include the Dreamers’ parents.

“You have these college students who were brought here as 2-year-olds and they are de facto Americans,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. “Keeping together the family of that promising Americanto-be is an American value.”

Some Republicans strongly objected to the youth program, saying Obama overstepped his legal authority when he started it. Last summer, the Republican majority in the House passed a bill to cancel the program.

In the last days before Obama acts, the Dreamers have stepped up their lobbying of White House officials.

NBC drops plan for Cosby show NEW YORK — NBC has scrapped a Bill Cosby comedy that was under development and TV Land will stop airing reruns of The Cosby Show, moves that came after another woman came forward claiming that the once-beloved comic had sexually assaulted her.

NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said Wednesday the Cosby sitcom “is no longer under development.”

A TV Land representative said the reruns have stopped airing. The Cosby Show also was to have been part of a Thanksgiving marathon.

The NBC sitcom and Cosby Show reruns joined a Netflix Cosby standup comedy special, which was indefinitely postponed late Tuesday, as mounting evidence of Cosby’s faltering career. They occurred a day after model Janice Dickinson, in an interview with Entertain-

ment Tonight, became the third woman to allege she’d been assaulted by Cosby — charges strongly denied by the comedian’s lawyer. The developments, which involve allegations that were reported a decade ago as well as new accusations, have gravely damaged the 77-year-old comedian’s reputation as America’s TV dad at a time when he was launching a comeback. A year ago, a standup special — his first in 30 years — aired on Comedy Central and drew 2 million viewers. His new series was announced in January.

Cosby has never been charged in connection with any of the allegations. Former Pennsylvania prosecutor Bruce L. Castor Jr., who investigated a woman’s claims that Cosby had sexually assaulted her in 2004, said Wednesday he decided not to prosecute because he felt there was not enough evidence to get a conviction.

national recall will divert parts from high-humidity areas, putting lives at risk.

The impasse could put pressure on automakers such as Honda, Ford and Mazda to expand the recall on their own. Ultimately, they are responsible for doing recalls. Automakers could go ahead with the recalls on their own and settle cost issues later with Takata, said Allan Kam, a former NHTSA attorney who now is a consultant to consumers and manufacturers.

Takata, he said, is not among his clients.

The safety agency acted after weeks of criticism from lawmakers, who said it was too slow to respond to mounting recalls and reports of deaths and injuries.

On Wednesday, the Obama administration nominated National Transportation Safety Board member Mark

Rosekind to run the agency. He must be confirmed by the Senate.

Owners of cars currently outside the recall regions meanwhile remain in limbo, uncertain if they might experience a potentially dangerous problem with their air bags.

NHTSA said its demand for an additional recall was based on incidents involving a death in California and an injury in North Carolina in which the air bags were implicated. Both states are outside of the area covered by the earlier recalls, which generally cover areas with average dew points of 60 degrees or higher along the Gulf Coast, plus Hawaii.

But Takata said Wednesday that nearly 1,000 inflators from outside high-humidity areas have been tested, and no canisters have ruptured.

The company said it agreed that the recalls should be expanded, but only if

the comptroller general said that an employee under investigation for wrongdoing “may be relieved from duty and continued in a pay status for 24 hours or so.” That was the first of a dozen such rulings issued by the comptroller general since then.

At many private companies, paid leave is rarely used, if at all, and lasts a few days at most, personnel experts said. An employee accused of wrongdoing either stays at the office and is reassigned, or is suspended without pay.

“The private sector is focused on operating efficiently,” said Kathy Albarado, chief executive of Helios HR, a consulting firm based in Virginia. Many of Helios’s clients are government contractors that cannot bill the government for salaries if employees are on paid leave.

“So they’re motivated to ensure they’re resolving any dispute quickly,” Albarado said.

Shortly before Balovich went back to work at NOAA, the agency official in charge of his case apologized for keeping him at home so long. “I agree that the process has been way, way too lengthy,” Jim Balsiger, the regional administrator for NOAA fisheries in Alaska, wrote to him, saying the case had to be processed through various government offices.

A NOAA spokesman, citing privacy laws, declined to comment on the specifics of Balovich’s case.

In another case, a former acting inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security was put on paid administrative leave in April while he was investigated for allegedly misusing his office and soft-pedaling reports about misbehavior by Secret Service agents. Before he was put on leave, Charles Edwards resigned his post as acting inspector general and transferred to a different job in the department.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Marsha Catron confirmed that Edwards remains on leave but declined to say how long it will last. Edwards did not

respond to a telephone message left at his home seeking comment.

“Unless you think somebody is going to get a gun and shoot people, then send them to work,” said Jeffrey Neal, a longtime federal personnel manager who retired in 2011 as the DHS’s human capital chief. “If they’re sitting there, you’re going to be reminded, ‘We have to do something about Betty Lou.’ “ Brenda Roberts, the Office of Personnel Management’s deputy associate director for pay and leave, said agencies have used their own discretion in granting administrative leave because Congress has not passed any legislation addressing it. But the Office of Personnel Management has at times given guidance to managers across government on how it should be used, she said, adding, “We’ve always stated it’s for brief periods of time.”

Spokesmen for several agencies, asked why they put hundreds or thousands of employees on paid leave for long periods, said they rely on the Office of Personnel Management for guidance.

“Administrative leave … is generally limited to special situations involving brief absences,” Defense Department spokesman Nathan Christensen said in a statement. It “may, in limited circumstances, be granted on an extended basis for situations such as security clearance reviews, or other due process situations where such leave is deemed to be in the interest of the Department.”

During the three-year period reviewed, the GAO report shows, the Defense Department put about 8,600 employees on leave for one to three months, nearly 900 for three months to a year and 123 for more than a year.

In a move rare for federal agencies, the Justice Department has taken steps to rein in the use of administrative leave, limiting it to 10 workdays unless the assistant attorney general for administration approves a longer period.

“appropriate and necessary to respond to a safety risk.”

Normally when NHTSA and automakers disagree, they compromise to settle the issue. But if they don’t, NHTSA must determine that there’s a safety defect, and hold a hearing before issuing a final order for a recall, said Kam. If a company still refuses to comply, the Justice Department will ask a court to order the recall, Kam said. NHTSA also has the power to fine companies for moving too slowly, up to $35 million.

The last time that NHTSA ordered a recall for a safety defect was 1979 in a dispute with Fiat over an undercarriage rust issue, he said.

For now, NHTSA isn’t demanding a national recall of Takata’s passenger side air bags, which have different inflators.

Bail set for teen rape suspect Judge says new allegation of gang affiliation lacks evidence and is ‘not fair for defendant’

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

According to a prosecutor, police have advised the District Attorney’s Office that a 16-yearold boy accused of participating in the rape of a Pojoaque woman in April is believed to be part of a gang that recruits women to parties so members can rape them.

Assistant District Attorney Susan Stinson argued during a

District Court hearing Wednesday that Irin K. Martinez, who has been in custody for the past six months, should not have the opportunity to be released on bond because he may belong to the violent gang.

Martinez, a 15-year-old boy and a woman who was 18 at the time all are charged in connection with the sexual assault of the Pojoaque woman, who also was 18 at the time, in a house near

Española after a night of drinking.

District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer set a cash-only bond of $20,000 for Martinez. The judge said no evidence was presented to back up the new allegation, and “it’s not fair for the defendant.”

The victim in the case, who underwent two surgeries and spent a week in the hospital recovering from her injuries after the incident, wrote a letter urging the judge not to allow bail for Martinez. The parents of the victim, who is now 19, were in court as Stinson read her letter. “ ‘He caused me great physical,

emotional and mental abuse — an abuse that feels like it could last a lifetime,’ ” Stinson read. “ ‘I fear this individual. I was in the hospital fighting for my life due to the severity of the abuse. God gave me another chance at life, and I feel that if he’s released from jail I may be fighting for my life again or maybe dead.

“This is not normal life for a 19-year-old. I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring me, but I am asking you to please deny him bail so that I can have some reas-

New stories for an old highway

By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE reasy diners, big-finned Cadillacs, mom-and-pop souvenir shops, dusty trading posts and the promise of the West were undoubtedly part of the recipe that made historic Route 66 — America’s Mother Road — famous.

The lesser known story is that of the more than two dozen American Indian tribes scattered along the 2,400-mile byway, which stretched from Chicago to California.

Tribes are now teaming up with a tourism group and the National Park Service to tell a new story for Route 66 travelers, one that aims to detail the histories of Native American communities that saw their part of the West changed because of the road and to dispel longheld stereotypes.

Virginia Salazar-Halfmoon, who is coordinating the project for the American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association, said many foreign visitors and even some Americans expect to find Indians wearing headdresses and living in teepees when they travel along the route.

“What we would like them to know is

G

that we are all unique nations. We have a different story and a different history with Route 66,” she said. “We’re very much wanting to share who we are with the world.”

During the next year, the plan is to create a guidebook using federal grant money that will highlight significant tribal sites along the 2,400-mile route.

The book will also include stories of how communities were affected by the commerce that came along with the traffic.

Representatives from the Park Service and the American Indian Center of Chicago were among those who participated in a meeting Wednesday to kick off the project. Officials from Acoma and Zuni pueblos in New Mexico, the Cherokee Nation and several other tribes attended.

Many talked about the route’s role in the federal government’s Indian relocation program of the 1950s and the migration of many Indian children to boarding schools.

They also said some legs of the highway used to be traditional trading routes that were used by the Indians long before the pavement went down and the road signs went up.

“This is a great opportunity we have

The Western drama Longmire, filmed in Northern New Mexico over the past three years, will ride again, thanks to the Internet streaming company Netflix, according to a news release posted Wednesday on the website TVbythenumbers.com.

The release stated that Netflix ordered 10 new Longmire episodes for 2015. The service already had secured the rights to stream the previous three seasons of the show, which focuses on the daily life of a Wyoming sheriff, Walt Longmire.

“When Warner Horizon Television came to us with the idea for a new season of Longmire, we were intrigued because the series is so unique, and consistently great,” said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content at Netflix. “We are thrilled to help continue Walt Longmire’s story for his large and passionate following.”

After the show’s cancellation by the A&E network earlier this year, Longmire fans used Twitter and other social media outlets to clamor for more episodes.

Users have adopted the hashtag #Longmirelives to celebrate the news.

In abruptly dropping the show earlier this year, A&E claimed its audience was too old to effectively draw advertising dollars. Others have said A&E was motivated to drop the show because it was too expensive to produce. The show had also seen a small but steady decline in ratings.

And while the Netflix announcement is great news for fans — the season finished on a cliffhanger — it also could be great news for New Mexico film crews.

The release didn’t state if the show would come back to New Mexico, but popular film blog Oneheadlightink stated that production would resume in New Mexico come spring 2015.

The New Mexico Film Office did not confirm Wednesday night whether the series would return to New Mexico.

Crews had produced scenes for Longmire at Garson Studios on the campus of the Santa Fe University of Art and Design and elsewhere in Northern New Mexico. The third season employed more than 100 crew members, and hundreds of extras and background talent, throughout the season.

Walt Longmire is played by Robert Taylor. Other stars have included Katee Sackhoff, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase and Adam Bartley.

the country legally, advocates said.

The Santa Fe-based group Somos un Pueblo is also a plaintiff in the suit.

The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Earlier this year, immigration attorneys warned New Mexico counties that they could face litigation from inmates kept in custody for no other grounds than receiving a hold request from federal immigration authorities.

Lawyers said the immigrant holds amounted to false imprisonment.

San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christesen, who was named in the lawsuit, said he didn’t believe his deputies did anything wrong, and that his office will continue to do its job. “If we stop you, and you have committed a crime, you will be detained,” Christesen said.

Until earlier this year, it was common for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to ask counties to hold individuals brought in for traffic violations if the individuals were suspected of not having proper immigration documents.

Santa Fe school board President Steven Carrillo announced Wednesday that he is running for re-election, and the race could pit him against fellow board member Glenn Wikle.

“I feel like we can continue working on some of the efforts we have started,” Carrillo said of his decision to seek re-election in February. “It’s very important for me to see through the next four years so we can build on our successes.”

Carrillo, a former restaurateur and union organizer who currently works Steven in financial planning for the New York Carrillo Life Insurance Co., was elected by a wide margin over his two opponents in the February 2011 board election. He, Wikle and Linda Trujillo all won their current board seats in that election as voters wanting change at the school board level came out in record numbers — although fewer than 3,500 eligible voters in the school district cast ballots.

All three of the board members’ terms expire in February 2015, and due to new district boundaries, both Carrillo and Wikle serve District 1 in central Santa Fe. Wikle did not return a call seeking comment on whether he plans to run against Carrillo for the District 1 seat.

WALTON CHAPMAN, 1927-2014

Developer influenced state’s building industry

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

Walton Chapman was a family man, a business man, a volunteer who gave back to his community.

Above all, “he was a builder’s builder,” said Kim Shanahan, a contractor and director of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association. “Without Walt, we wouldn’t have a homebuilders association in the state of New Mexico.”

Chapman, a philanthropist and an essential part of New Mexico’s home construction scene for half a century, died Sunday. He was 87.

The Georgia native earned a psychology degree at Texas Christian University before joining the U.S. Marine Corps at the end of World War II. Before he became a builder, Chapman scraped together a living as a door-to-door salesman, a usedcar salesman, a laborer and a worker at a plastics factory.

Chapman was 30 when he started building houses. He

joined his brother-in-law Ed Leslie in building more than 1,000 homes in Roswell. Neither knew anything about land development, financing, design and construction when they began.

It was a steep learning curve.

But they built the company into one of the largest in the state.

When the economy in Roswell crashed, the duo started building homes in White Rock near Los Alamos.

“They had an airplane,” said Realtor Beverly Chapman, one of Chapman’s two daughters, in a 2010 interview. “My uncle started to do development in Albuquerque, and my dad was still in Roswell, so there was a lot of flying between Roswell, White Rock and Albuquerque.

I remember flying a lot in that plane.”

Chapman launched his own construction company in 1966.

It was a true family business.

Chapman’s wife, Joan Wallace, designed the interiors. Their sons Mike and Billy were helping at the business by the time they were in high school.

Organizers say the creation of the guidebook along with a destination website that features tribal events and eventually oral histories could lead to more economic development opportunities for communities along

the route.

Lisa Snell, the owner and publisher of the Native American Times and Native Oklahoma magazine, will be spending the next year traveling the route, doing research and conducting interviews with community members for the book.

Beyond the greasy burgers and fries and family road trips, Snell said travelers “don’t think about the greater story of who was here first, who walked that highway.”

Walt Chapman influenced the state’s building industry for years. Chapman started the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association and the New Mexico Home Builders Association. He was a life director of the National Association of Home Builders and a former president of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce.

Chapman also had an eye for a good fundraiser. He helped create the still-popular July 4 Pancakes on the Plaza event to benefit the United Way Campaign when he was chairman of the nonprofit. The event now benefits the Rotary Club.

Mike Chapman said a highlight was when his dad was asked to serve on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. “Here was this guy from a little company in Santa Fe serving on the board with the head of Pepsi Cola,” Mike Chapman said.

When his dad wasn’t working, he loved to entertain friends, golf, boat and travel the country

Daughter Beverly joined to handle real estate sales in 1991.

Among the projects Walt Chapman oversaw were the 75-house developments in Acoma Estates and Hidden Valley, both off Gonzales Road, the 150-unit Fairway Village off Agua Fría Street, The Hills at Las Estrellas and The Plazas at Pecos Trail.

The patriarch also developed 440-home Park Plaza south of Rodeo Road and west of

Camino Carlos Rey, the first planned-unit development in New Mexico, according to Mike Chapman. About half the 150 acres of land was left as open space. There was no city ordinance for the project, so Walt Chapman worked with the city planner to craft one.

“Dad was convinced that mixed-use was a better use of land,” said Mike Chapman, Walt Chapman’s eldest son. “He began there with townhouses for young

in his motorhome. He particularly loved trips to Disneyland.

“I think what he liked was the escape from reality,” His son said.

“And of course it was extremely well done. He liked that.”

Mike Chapman said his dad’s business philosophy was simple: “You have a responsibility for what you leave behind.

He always tried to operate in an honest and direct fashion. He cared deeply about the people who worked for him.”

Chapman is survived by his companion. Margie Hyman, his sister, Kay Ford, four children, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He also has an extended family that includes several exchange students who lived with the Chapmans.

A memorial service is scheduled at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, at St. John’s United Methodist Church, 1200 Old Pecos Trail.

Utah considers reviving firing squad for executions

By Michelle L. Price The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — Ten years after banning the use of firing squads in state executions, Utah lawmakers on Wednesday endorsed a proposal to allow the practice again to avoid problems with lethal-injection drugs.

The proposal from Republican Rep. Paul Ray of Clearfield would call for a firing squad if the state cannot obtain the lethal injection drugs 30 days before the scheduled execution.

Utah dropped firing squads out of concern about the media attention, but Ray said it’s the most humane way to execute someone because the inmate dies instantly.

“We have to have an option,” Ray told reporters Wednesday. “If we go hanging, if we go to the guillotine, or we go to the firing squad, electric chair, you’re still going to have the same circus atmosphere behind it. So is it really going to matter?”

After a 20-minute discussion, an interim panel of Utah lawmakers approved the idea on a 9-2 vote Wednesday.

The proposal still needs to go through the full legislative process once lawmakers convene for their annual session in January.

Rep. Mark Wheatley, a Democrat from Murray, voted against the measure because

he said Utah doesn’t have a problem that needs to be fixed.

Santaquin Republican Rep. Marc Roberts, who cast the other opposing vote, said he didn’t think the proposal was needed and is unsure of his own view on capital punishment.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Mom is causing tension for couple Dear Annie: My lady and I have been together for nine years, and we have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter.

We have had our own twobedroom apartment for five years.

A year ago, her mother fell ill. We decided to move her in with us to take care of her and drive her to her doctors’ appointments. Mind you, we did this even though I know the mother doesn’t like me at all.

Like any couple, we argue, but nothing too serious. The problem is, her mother gets in the middle of it and takes her daughter’s side.

I can handle the fussing from my lady, but not her mother. It’s none of her business.

Two weeks ago, I overheard the mother tell her daughter that one of us has to move out: her or me.

Since we all know she can’t take care of herself, I took it as Mom telling her daughter to get rid of me. Since that day, my lady has been distant. She barely speaks to me, there is little affection, and lovemaking has entirely disappeared. I hate to think she has taken her mother’s advice and will end this relationship. Annie, I love her with all of my heart. What should I do? — Confused Dear Confused: The constant drip-drip-drip of criticism and pressure from Mom is wearing down your girlfriend’s ability to distinguish between what she wants and what Mom wants.

Don’t hide what you know. Tell your girlfriend you overheard Mom saying to get rid of you. Let her know you love her dearly and don’t want to break up your home, especially since you have a young child who needs both of her parents. That relationship comes first. If Mom cannot deal with it, she is the one who should leave and hire a caregiver. Tell your lady we said so.

Dear Annie: My husband used to hold my hand when we were out and would always give me little pats and rubs just to let me know he was still interested in me. But once he had prostate surgery, it was like someone flipped

a switch. He immediately ceased all contact. I realize we can no longer have sex the way we used to, but we can still give each other pleasure.

But here is the real problem: My husband is sometimes incontinent and must wear an adult diaper. I could live with this except that he doesn’t change it for several days at a time. You can only imagine how he smells. He says he doesn’t notice it, but I gag when I’m near him.

I have told him he needs to change the diaper more often and take daily showers. He’ll try for a bit, but then reverts back to his nasty ways. In the meantime, I can’t even get close enough to kiss him. What do I do? — Missing It Dear Missing: It’s possible your husband wants you to keep your distance, and this is one way to ensure it. It’s also possible he is depressed about his current condition and has stopped caring about his hygiene. Suggest he speak to his doctor (or you can call his doctor’s office and leave a message explaining the problem).

In the meantime, remind him gently when it’s time to shower and change.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Unforgiven,” who unintentionally omitted her brother’s stepson from the family death notice when her mother died. I work for a newspaper. While I don’t know what the policy is for this family’s hometown, this occasionally happens in my area, and much of the time there are hurt feelings.

The remedy is simple. Rerun the obituary with the correct information. It would be a small price for family peace. — Keeping the Peace Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

rocks to an Italian beach, where it leaps into the ocean.

John Duffield of Santa Monica, Calif., loves the footage he got from the GoPro he mounted on his two dogs. He got enough shots to make a short video shortly before his chow-Labrador-Akita mix, Lupa, died.

But Duffield didn’t strap the camera to his Chihuahua, Pup, three months ago when he and his wife brought their newborn daughter home from the hospital.

“Pup is like a member of the family, too,” Duffield said. “He belonged in this picture because he was welcoming home part of his family.”

Those looking for pet gifts besides the traditional treats, new bowls and beds can give something unexpected such as:

Gourmet fare After romping in the snow, pets can warm up with San Diego-based Honest Kitchen’s Winter Warmers Broths. Just add hot water to the dehydrated

mixes in chicken consomme, beef and bone, and turkey stock flavors. The company, which focuses on natural food good enough for people’s palates, offers the $19.99 three-box sets for a limited time.

Devices for seniors Make it easier for your senior dog to get around safely with equipment from Solvit Pet Products (www.solvitproducts. com). Help them avoid injury in the car with a Department of Transportation-tested safety harness ($30) and ease their way out of the vehicle with a ramp for those who can no longer jump ($159).

Keep them close on a bike ride with a bicycle trailer or stroller ($399) or with a wicker basket ($89).

Ugly sweaters They are the rage this year, so PetSmart Inc. will hawk ugly sweaters for cats and dogs from

In brief

Shelter reduces adoption fees Full kennels have prompted the Santa Fe animal shelter to offer reduced adoption fees on all animals for a limited time.

The shelter is waiving adoption fees on all adult dogs and cats, and cutting the adoption fee to half on younger animals and highly sought-after animals called Shelter Heroes.

While adoption numbers have increased at the shelter, Dylan Moore, the shelter’s adoptions director, said fee-waived adoptions will help some longtime residents at the shelter find new homes.

‘Star Wars’ gear Dogs will “use the force” with Petco’s line of Star Wars toys and clothing. Dress up dogs like Princess Leia with a headband sporting her signature bun hairstyle. The Death Star won’t menace when it comes as a treat dispenser ($7.49) or tug-of-war toy ($5.99).

Plush squeaker toys feature favorite characters — R2-D2, Chewbacca and Darth Vader — for less than $10. And don’t forget the cats — the Millennium Falcon flies at the end of a teaser toy string for less than $5.

“Our goal is to get as many animals as possible into loving homes as quickly as possible,” he said. “Studies show that reducing adoption fees have no impact on return rates. We are reducing our fees, not our adoption standards.”

Rhode Island city ends pit bull ban PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A group of pit bull lovers plans to hold a pit bull parade to celebrate after a judge threw out a 10-year-old ban on the dogs in a Rhode Island city.

WLNE-TV reports the nonprofit group Pit Bulls for PTSD plans to hold the parade on Sunday in Pawtucket.

A Superior Court judge on Tuesday found a city ordinance that had banned pit bulls since 2004 was invalid. The ruling follows a 2013 state law that prohibits cities and towns from banning specific dog breeds.

The parade will start at a dog park and then loop through the neighborhood. It will end with a free dog training session.

Pit Bulls for PTSD trains pit bulls to become service dogs for people with post-traumatic

stress disorder and children with autism.

Kindred Spirits sets holiday fête A sanctuary and hospice for elderly dogs, poultry and horses is celebrating the holidays with a tree-lighting ceremony and meditation.

The annual celebration at Kindred Spirits Animal Sanctuary is from 4 to 7 p.m. Dec. 13.

A tour of the sanctuary, which focuses on elderly care and hospice, begins at 4:30 p.m.; the tree lighting is set for 5:30 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public. Hot cider and healthy refreshments will be served.

The sanctuary is located south of Santa Fe at 3749-A N.M. 14, a short distance from the Lone Butte General Store. For more information, call 471-5366 or visit the sanctuary’s website at www. kindredspiritsnm.org.

Ireland’s gay bull Benjy saved from slaughterhouse The Associated Press

DUBLIN — He faced execution for failure to perform. But Benjy, the gay bull of Ireland, has been saved following a worldwide appeal backed by The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon.

Ireland’s Animal Rights Action Network said that Simon is paying for Benjy’s transportation to an animal sanctuary in England. Simon, who is battling colon cancer, has been giving away much of the fortune from his television career and is a leading donor to animal welfare causes.

Benjy, a Charlerois bull, failed this year to impregnate any heifers at a County Mayo farm in western Ireland. Veterinarians determined he was fertile, but was more attracted to the bull that replaced him.

After the farmer announced he planned to send Benjy to an abattoir, activists last week launched a social media campaign seeking $7,825 to send the bull to the Hillside Animal

Sanctuary in Norfolk, England, which is home for unwanted farm animals and horses.

About 300 donors Benjy contributed $6,200 to an ongoing fundraising drive organized by the British online magazine TheGayUK. Simon, who funds a Malibu dog shelter and many other animal rights projects, said he heard about Benjy’s case through friends at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals pressure group. He said he was happy to donate the original cash target to buy Benjy and ship him to England.

“All animals have a dire destiny in the meat trade, but to kill this bull because he’s gay would’ve been a double tragedy,” Simon said. “It thrills me to help make Benjy’s fate a sanctuary rather than a sandwich.”

Holiday surprises for pets LOS ANGELES et owners looking to launch the next Internet sensation or just longing for a new view of their dog’s dashing and digging won’t have to shop for long to find the perfect holiday gift. Wrap up a dog harness that holds GoPro’s durable cameras and watch Frisbee fetch, lazy lap naps and every memory in between come alive.

The Fetch dog harness fits over Fido’s chest or back and holds the small, waterproof camera known for attaching to helmets, surfboards, cars and wrists to film rugged adventures. Sony, Garmin and Kurgo also make camera mounts for dogs.

The device is among a legion of gifts that retailers have rounded up for pet wish lists this year. Narrowing it down is tough, but the harness tops the more unique options and creates lasting footage.

The most pet-friendly camera in the GoPro Inc. line is the Hero4, which allows people to decide what the dog records and control all the functions with a touch screen, company spokeswoman Kelly Baker said.

The camera sells for $399, and the mount costs $59.

The chest harness captures bone-chewing and digging, while the back mount films running and jumping, Baker said.

They adjust to fit dogs weighing 15 to 120 pounds.

The canine camera view has proved popular. A video went viral of an eager Labrador strapped with a camera sprinting through trees and across

Gov. pens piece on immigration reform ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez says Congress should put aside partisan differences and pass comprehensive immigration reform.

The Republican, the nation’s first elected Latina governor, said Tuesday in a Washington Times opinion piece that Congress needed to craft a bill that tightens the border and revamps a “dysfunctional system.”

She says solutions shouldn’t reward those who have broken the law, but

they also shouldn’t involve “rolling up the welcome mat.”

Clovis officer won’t face charges in stop CLOVIS — Prosecutors have decided that a Clovis police officer won’t face state charges in connection with a traffic stop in which excessive force was alleged.

The Clovis Daily News reports that Police Chief Steve Sanders said Officer Brent Aguilar is back on duty following the investigation into an allegation that he slammed Jorge Corona of Clovis onto the pavement during the Aug. 3 stop.

Aguilar’s lawyer, Matt Chandler, declined comment on the matter because the FBI also is looking into it.

Police began their investigation of the stop after learning of a YouTube video of the incident.

WASHINGTON — HealthCare.gov is working better, but immigrants are running into what looks like an obvious slip-up.

Call it the green card glitch: The website has no clear path to upload the government identification document that shows they are legal U.S. residents, and entitled to benefits under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

It’s a baffling omission, say consumers and counselors assisting with this year’s signup drive.

“It doesn’t list the green card as an option to upload,” said Elizabeth Colvin of Foundation Communities, an Austin, Texas, group that serves low-income people, including many immigrants. There’s a way to upload copies of other types of documentation, Colvin said, but not green cards.

“The limited list of documents is confusing people and needs to be updated to include all accepted documents to verify identity,” she added.

Administration spokesman Aaron Albright said a fix is in the works. The issue does not affect all applications from immigrants but certain cases where eligibility is unclear.

“We are working to make it clear that consumers with any type of immigration issue can upload any form that is requested, including a copy of their green card,” he said.

Reaching immigrants is a priority as the administration seeks to increase the number of people signed up for subsidized private health insurance through exchanges.

COMMENTARY: RAMESH PONNURU

Going too far with executive action

P

resident Barack Obama is planning to rewrite immigration law in the guise of exercising “prosecutorial discretion.” In other words, he’s going to ask federal agencies not to enforce the laws on the books and hand work permits to millions of illegal immigrants.

When conservatives and moderates criticize this unilateralism, as I did earlier this week, we tend to get three responses from liberals. None of them make Obama’s plan sound any better.

The first is that if Republicans dislike this step so much, they should pass their own bill through Congress. Jacob Weisberg takes this line in Slate.

But just passing any old immigration bill would not stay the president’s hand. If Congress passed the immigrationenforcement bill the House voted for in 2005, Obama would almost certainly veto it and proceed with his plans.

What these critics are saying is that Republicans should keep Obama from acting on his own by giving him exactly what he wants. This is, of course, Obama’s own argument as well. It’s an argument that has nothing to say to people who think that presidential rewrites of the law, and threats thereof, have no place in our constitutional order — which is to say that it’s not a good-faith response.

The second response is that the president has to act because the system is broken.

Nathan Pippenger, writing at Democracy’s blog, argues that the president is striking a mighty blow against “the normalization of dysfunction.”

This is very different, he says, from saying that the president should act whenever he doesn’t get his way. But he

OUR VIEW

Immigration’s time is now

P never explains the alleged difference. The closest he comes is to complain that House Republicans haven’t held a vote on the Senate immigration bill and that they haven’t followed through on promises to pass one of their own.

I tend to think that the House’s failure to pass a deeply flawed Senate bill is a sign of the political system’s health, even if the status quo isn’t anybody’s ideal. But let’s assume for the sake of argument that the bill is worth enacting. The House’s failure to go along doesn’t give the president a license to do what he pleases. Pippenger suggests that the presence of millions of illegal immigrants in our country may constitute a “crisis,” but doesn’t fully endorse the idea.

He was right to stop short.

Illegal immigrants and the rest of us have managed to put up with this — again, admittedly less-than-ideal — situation for years. The president himself decided that action could wait until after the election. There’s no justification for dispens-

ing with the normal mandate that legislation is required for major policy changes.

The alternative isn’t for the president to “surrender.” It’s for him to accept the limits of his constitutional authority.

Which gives us the answer to Ed Kilgore’s question, in Washington Monthly, of how long the president should wait: forever, or until he has real legislative authorization, whichever comes first.

The third response, by far the most popular in recent days among Internet liberals, is that there’s no problem here because Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush issued their own unilateral amnesties. Because of those amnesties, my statement that no previous president had ever considered doing what Obama is doing was called “misleading” over at Andrew Sullivan’s blog.

Mark Krikorian, who runs an immigration-restrictionist research group, has made short work of this argument. The Republicans-did-it-too crowd is exaggerating how big those

earlier executive amnesties were. They were far smaller than what Obama is considering today. More important, these weren’t cases where Congress had pointedly refused to enact an amnesty. They were the “tying up of loose ends” from a congressionally enacted amnesty, and after they were done Congress passed another law trying to prevent presidents from issuing further amnesties on their own.

What Obama is talking about is indeed a break with the country’s constitutional tradition. You don’t need to take my word for it. “That’s not how our democracy works. That’s not how our Constitution is written.”

Obama used those words to explain why he wasn’t going to go it alone on immigration back in 2011.

It’s not the Constitution that has since changed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Empower small donors in elections

M

uch post-election coverage has analyzed how and why candidates won or lost, but the biggest loser was the American public. A small cadre of large donors drowned out the voice of average citizens. The gubernatorial race saw six large donors outspend all 3,211 donors of $250 or less and 74 percent of contributions come from individuals giving over $1,000.

In a democracy, the size of your wallet should not determine the volume of your voice, however the current system forces our elected officials to focus on a few large donors rather than the majority.

They are not at fault, but the system is.

There are successful models to empower small donors such as providing tax credits and public matching funds for small contributions.

I applaud U.S. Reps. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Ben Ray Luján for supporting legislation to empower small donors and implore our local elected officials to follow suit.

He encountered our residents even after they were gone from our facility and treated them as any community member with respect.

This man walked with purpose for peace, he acknowledged people of all walks, acted as a peace officer and made decisions in the most fair way possible.

Hill had no show of arrogance, was not conceited, nor unethically abusive of the power given him wearing a badge.

He shared a compassionate heart and courage to go beyond the call of duty because it was the right thing to do.

His humble service will never be forgotten by the people at Casa Cerrillos Program, St. Elizabeth Shelter. We, at the Casa Cerrillos Program, felt it was important to share with Annamarie and her children: Breanna, Jordon, Tyler and Elizabethanne that he will always be our hero.

The community response was overwhelming. We thank our guests; their generosity generated a substantial gift for the shelter.

Our kitchen was overwhelmed, too!

We’ll be making changes to accommodate and serve a much larger group in our next community fundraiser. We hope to see you then.

With prayers for peace and blessings for this community.

Demand truth The November 2014 elections are over and we have been exposed to countless political ads that were, quite frankly, lies.

Since Citizens United allowed PACs to spend freely and donors to remain anonymous, this political advertising has grown immensely.

Since it is unlikely that Citizens United can be overturned, the least that Americans could expect is a “truth in advertising” law for these ads.

The policing should be funded by a PAC fee paid to an independent bipartisan group from the Federal Election Commission. The fees could be two tiered, with those PACs willing to list their donors paying a smaller amount.

resident Barack Obama’s announcement that he will take executive action on immigration reform does not need to turn into another round in Washington’s never-ending battle of the political parties.

The Republican Congress, should it not like the Democratic president’s planned executive actions to keep families together and help undocumented immigrants settle in their new country, simply has to act. Not shut down government. Not block Obama appointees. Not spend more time denouncing the president on television than actually working. Not debate impeachment. No, Congress just has to do its job.

Pass immigration reform. That, more than any other response, will show the president the folly of unilateral action. The question, of course, is whether congressional Republicans can give up the president as their center of attack.

Obviously, with a GOP majority in both the House and Senate next year, immigration reform likely won’t be as sweeping as the president and Democrats want — that’s another example of elections having consequences. There should be a middle ground, however. Much of which Senate Republicans backed in earlier legislation, can work for most sides of this complicated issue. Take a compromise and show the American people that the GOP can move to solve the nation’s problems.

According to early reports. Obama’s executive action could provide work permits for up to 5 million people, removing the threat of deportation for parents of children who are legal residents or citizens of the United States.

That action could reach as many as 4 million residents, with other parts of the president’s plan covering another 1 million. (It should be mentioned that past executive actions on immigration by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, ended up affecting far fewer people than originally estimated.) The president will talk to the nation this evening and whip up support on Friday in Nevada.

As a plan, we like the details we have heard so far. We need to protect families, stop unnecessary deportations and bring contributing members of our society out of the shadows. With 11 million undocumented immigrants estimated to be living in the United States, it’s obvious that more must be done — including making it simpler to navigate our byzantine immigration system. Obama’s actions are narrow because, as the president has said, he is working on actions that he believes are legal for a president to take without congressional approval.

We prefer that laws be passed, as much for the certainty of legislation over the uncertainty of one president’s actions being overturned by the next president. We also believe that even when a Congress is as unproductive as this one has proved to be, and as the next one is likely to turn out, our government works best when Congress passes laws and the president either signs or vetoes them.

The executive, under our system of government, should not be more powerful than the legislative branch.

However, if Republicans can stop themselves from throwing a hissy fit, they have the power to block this action in the best way possible. Gov. Susana Martinez, writing in The Washington Times, put it exactly right: “The problems will continue to mount, and the challenges will only grow until we find some common ground.” Pass legislation and show everyone that it is possible to move beyond gridlock, with the GOP leading the way.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 20, 1914: Melrose, N.M. — J.J. Bostick brought to Melrose for exhibition here a mammoth sugar beet that was grown on the farm of Henry Williams, 23 miles northwest of Melrose. For size and weight it is certainly some beet. The weight is 17½ pounds, and it measures 24 inches long and 20 inches in circumference.

Bostick said he had to look a long time before he could make up his mind which was the biggest one in the patch on Williams’ farm.

Nov. 20, 1964: Albuquerque — Sen. Clinton Anderson, D-N.M., said today Walker Air Force Base at Roswell will be the only New Mexico defense installation affected in the closing of 95 units.

The base at Roswell will be closed, resulting in a loss of 949 personnel.

Union, NFL at odds over personal conduct policy

By Rob Maaddi The Associated Press

The NFL players’ union wants the league and its owners to take disciplining players out of the hands of Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Already at odds over the process used to punish Ray Rice, the dispute heightened Tuesday when the league suspended Vikings running back Adrian Peterson for the rest of the season for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son.

The central issue remains the same for both sides: Finding a way to fairly hold players accountable for transgressions that damage the credibility and image of the league and its players. The union wants disciplinary power now held by Goodell

to be handled by a neutral arbitrator.

The league, so far, doesn’t agree.

And while both the league and the NFL Players Association want to change the personal Adrian conduct policy, the Peterson sides disagree on how to do it. The union wants to bargain for changes to the policy, while the NFL wants to implement changes with union input the same way it changes rules on the field, like when it moved kickoffs to the 35-yard line.

Union chief DeMaurice Smith told The Associated Press in an email that the league indicated it was open to discussing the policy as recently

as two months ago, but didn’t follow through in coming to the table. He said those discussions were distinct from the union representing Peterson in his case, though on a parallel track.

“There is one fact that does make those things similar though, and that is the NFL is clearly making things up as they go along,” Smith said Tuesday night. “Our goal is to pursue a new personal conduct policy that is fair, transparent and consistent. The only way that happens is if the NFL and the owners commit to collective bargaining.”

Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, countered that Goodell’s authority was collectively bargained with the union in 2011, while the personal con-

duct policy in place nearly 20 years has never been part of contract negotiations.

“The union agreed to the Commissioner maintaining authority to discipline. The league believes it is in the best interest of football to retain that authority,” Vincent said. “The league is following the process dictated by the CBA.” The union and players helped revise the personal conduct policy in 2007, Vincent said. He said the league has had multiple meetings with the union this year on revising the policy using the same approach.

The rules in place now have some players and agents wondering if the NFL has too much power and

Spurs top LeBron, Cavaliers yet again

CLEVELAND — Out of timeouts, LeBron James had no choice but to hurry up the floor. With the clock ticking down, Spurs 92 James tried to dribble behind Cavaliers 90 his back and had the ball — and game — bounce away.

The San Antonio Spurs stopped him again.

Tim Duncan and Boris Diaw scored 19 points apiece and the defending NBA champions beat Cleveland for the 10th straight time with a 92-90 win over James and the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Manu Ginobili scored on a layup with 18 seconds left, made a free throw with 9.1 to go and harassed James into his costly turnover with 1.9 seconds remaining. It was the first meeting between San Antonio and James since last June, when the Spurs overpowered the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.

“I went behind my back and just lost it,” James said of his last turnover. “That’s how the ball rolls sometimes.”

Anderson Varejao scored 23 points, Kyrie Irving added 20 and James had

ALBUQUERQUE hen he sat down in front of the media to make the announcement that he’d finished recruiting for next season’s incoming class of Lobos, University of New Mexico men’s basketball coach Craig Neal was asked the obvious question most everyone in LoboLand was wondering.

Why no big man? The tallest member of the new recruits stands just 6-foot-7.

The short answer: He thought he was going to have the services of 7-footer Alex Kirk this season, giving him another year of two 7-something centers (along with sophomore Obij Aget) and one invaluable year of development with newcomers like 6-foot-10 junior J.J. N’Ganga and 6-9 junior Jordan Goodman.

With Kirk now in the NBA Development League, the onus to clogging the lane belongs to a bunch of big men who now must learn on the fly.

“It’s going to be growing pains for those guys,” Neal said. “O’s in a new role, he’s starting. Played terrific the first night. [Last game] he just wasn’t in it the first two minutes, I could tell.

He’s just got to understand it’s just a new thing for him. They’re getting better, O’s getting better and J.J.’s getting better. Jordan’s got to get himself in shape and Jordan’s got to figure out how hard he’s going to play at this level as far as pace and intensity.”

The team will be put to the test starting Thursday as the Puerto Rico Tip-Off gets underway. The Lobos (2-0) will face Boston College in the opening round on ESPN2. They’ll play again Friday, then again Sunday.

UNM has opened the season with wins over Idaho State and Cal State Fullerton, but the going gets considerably tougher with this tournament. Defending national champion UConn is in the other half of the bracket, as is last year’s Elite Eight

Lobos lose senior captain Walker after arrest The New Mexican

Ebony Walker, the senior captain and post for The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team, was dismissed from the team on Wednesday morning after her arrest on assault charges against her boyfriend earlier this month.

UNM head coach Yvonne Sanchez said her decision to dismiss Ebony Walker was “made with thoughtful consideration” for the program and for Walker, whom Sanchez called a

“good person.” Sanchez said there shouldn’t be a rush to judgment about Walker and that the judicial process should be allowed to play out for the 22-year-old from Albuquerque.

Sanchez said Walker will be able to move on with her life when she graduates in December.

A criminal complaint said Walker threw a knife at her boyfriend after they argued at her apartment Nov. 4.

Walker’s attorney Rudy Chavez says his client is innocent of any crime.

Walker was a 6-foot-2 post who was in her senior season with the program — one in which she hoped would be a redemption of her injury riddled junior season. She averaged 10.3 points and 5.7 rebounds through two-plus games before a torn Achilles tendon ended her season.

Walker transferred to UNM after spending two seasons as mostly a reserve at Texas Tech.

She received a lot of attention coming out of high school, as she was a two-time Class AAAAA player

of the year at Albuquerque Sandia in 2009 and 2010 and led the Lady Matadors to the state title her senior year.

The Lobos did not have a lot of depth in the post, and Walker’s absence leaves one center and four forwards in the frontcourt.

Included in that list is junior and 2012 St. Michael’s graduate Alexa Chavez.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Stranded on the highway for more than a day, the Niagara women’s basketball team is finally making its journey home.

The team was stuck on its bus for nearly 30 hours because of a huge storm that dumped 4 feet of snow around Buffalo and was blamed for at least six deaths.

Niagara was coming back late Monday night from a loss at Pittsburgh when the squad was marooned on the New York State Thruway.

Early on Wednesday morning, players at last tweeted photos of a plow starting to clear the road.

A few hours later, state troopers picked them up and brought them to a nearby police station where another bus was waiting to take them back to campus, Niagara guard Tiffany Corselli said.

“It started to get bad fast at about 2 a.m. [Tuesday morning] and we came to a dead stop and haven’t

TOP 25 COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Hollis-Jefferson, defense lead Wildcats The Associated Press

Malina Howard had 11 points and 11 rebounds, while Kristen Confroy also had 11 points off the bench for Maryland.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Rondae HollisJefferson scored 19 points and No. 2 Arizona used a stifling defense in a decisive second-half run to give 2 Arizona 71 the Wildcats a 71-54 victory over Cal-Irvine Cal-Irvine 54 on Wednesday night.

The Wildcats (3-0) trailed from late in the first half until their defense intensified in a 15-0 run midway through the second half. The Anteaters (2-1) went six minutes without a point and committed five turnovers during the outburst.

Arizona’s best offense was at the foul line, where the Wildcats made 29 of 34, 11 of 13 by Hollis-Jefferson. Cal-Irvine was 9 of 13 at the line.

NO. 3 WISCONSIN 84, GREEN BAY 60 In Madison, Wis., Nigel Hayes scored a career-high 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help Wisconsin beat Wisconsin-Green Bay. Hayes, who averaged less than eight points and three rebounds a game as a freshman, has now reached double digits in rebounds in all three games to start the season.

CREIGHTON 65, NO. 18 OKLAHOMA 63 In Omaha, Neb., Zach Hanson caught Devin Brooks’ air ball along the baseline and put it in the basket for the go-ahead points in the last minute, and Creighton came back from an 18-point deficit to upset Oklahoma.

The Bluejays (3-0) used a 24-4 run to get back in the game after a dismal first-half shooting performance.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NO. 3 NOTRE DAME 71, NO. 15 MICHIGAN STATE In East Lansing, Mich., Jewell Loyd had 28 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 3 Notre Dame to a 71-63 win over No. 15 Michigan State on Wednesday night.

RICK SCUTERI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Allen had 14 for the Irish (2-0).

NO. 5 TEXAS A&M 76, RICE 55 In College Station, Texas, Courtney Walker scored 18 points to help Texas A&M beat Rice.

The Aggies kept the Owls at arms’ length for most of the contest, and led 50-40 a little more than midway through the second half before pulling away. The Aggies shot 48 percent (29 of 60) from the floor compared to 30 percent (21 of 69) for the Owls, but Rice edged A&M in rebounding 42-40.

NO. 9 MARYLAND 85, SOUTH FLORIDA 67 In College Park, Md., Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scored 17 of her career-high 25 points in the first half to lead Maryland to a victory over South Florida.

Lexie Brown added 15 points and Laurin Mincy had 10 and for the Terrapins (3-0).

NO. 13 KENTUCKY 91, MOREHEAD STATE 62 In Lexington, Ky., Janee Thompson scored 15 points, Jennifer O’Neill added 14 and No. 13 Kentucky routed Morehead State.

Two days after rallying to beat No. 8 Baylor at Rupp Arena, the Wildcats (3-0) returned to Memorial Coliseum and scored 35 points off 24 turnovers in their annual midmorning game played before 5,923 fans, including 1,500 sixth-graders.

NO. 23 SYRACUSE 90, DUQUESNE 84 In Pittsburgh, Briana Day had 22 points and 19 rebounds, and Syracuse pulled away late from Duquesne.

GREEN BAY 81, NO. 24 PURDUE 78 In West Lafayette, Ind., Kaili Lukan scored 20 points, including two free throws with 9 seconds left in double overtime, to help the Green Bay women upset Purdue.

Purdue had not lost a home opener since 1995, snapping a 19-game streak and is 38-2 all-time in home openers.

NO. 24 GEORGIA 67, OHIO STATE 59 In Columbus, Ohio, Tiaria Griffin scored 16 points, including a trio of 3-pointers, to lead No. 24 Georgia to a comeback win over Ohio State.

Lobos: Team growth focuses on big men Continued from Page B-1 darling Dayton. Also in there is West Virginia out of the Big 12.

“Any time you have a tough field like that it’s challenging,” Neal said. “Hopefully we won’t have a lot of problems. Hopefully we’ll play well.”

Point guard Hugh Greenwood said early tournaments like that can be tough to judge.

Sometimes success can propel the team to bigger things, but struggles don’t necessarily mean things are going downhill.

“We’ve had a bit of mixed results with tournaments like those,” he said.

Three years ago the Lobos lost to Santa Clara in the first

round of a tournament in Anaheim, Calif., yet went on to win 28 games and make the NCAA Tournament. Two years ago the Lobos beat George Mason and UConn in the final two rounds to win a tournament in the U.S. Virgin Islands en route to a 29-win season and another appearance in the Big Dance.

Last year UNM needed double overtime to hold off AlabamaBirmingham at a tournament in Charleston, S.C., but lost to UMass before bouncing back to win 27 games and make a third straight trip to the NCAAs. “We’re going to take it one game at a time but we’re going to be ready to go,” Greenwood

said. “We’ve always had different results in these tournaments.”

Moving forward, Neal said the growth of his team this week will be largely centered around his big men. While the play of his seven guards is always a concern, he said the one thing every player needs to learn is to stick with what works.

“You stay on the floor a lot longer if you play your strengths,” he said.

NOTES u Neal didn’t play his bench as much against Cal State Fullerton, giving only two subs (N’Ganga and Sam Logwood) more than 10 minutes of play-

ing time. In the opener against Idaho State, only walk-on Tim Jacobs didn’t get double-digit minutes. “I just told them they gotta keep their head up,” Neal said. “Some night they might play 15-20. Some night they might play 25, somebody might get hurt. But this isn’t the time to get down.” u Neal has a rule in practice that applies directly to games.

If a player shoots 28 percent or better from 3-point range in practice, he’ll give them the green light to launch when it counts. For now, the only players with that freedom are Greenwood and sophomore guard Cullen Neal. “If you’re not shooting 28 percent or better, you better be driving it,” the coach said.

Spurs: LeBron calls Spurs ‘Patriots of NBA’ Continued from Page B-1 15 for the Cavs, who fell to 5-5 and aren’t rolling the way most predicted.

James was just 6 of 17 from the field, Kevin Love went 4 of 12 and Cleveland’s bench contributed 17 points.

After Ginobili missed his free throw, James charged forward with both Duncan and Ginobili blocking his way. As the crowd roared, James appeared to be headed toward a game-tying or winning basket, but it didn’t go the way he planned.

Not much has so far in his homecoming season.

Still, the four-time MVP felt the Cavs, who are suffering growing pains under first-year coach David Blatt, improved.

“This is a game I’m happy about,” James said. “I hate to lose, but I’m happy about the progress we made tonight.”

Ginobili felt fortunate that James didn’t drive past him.

“I tried to make him change direction,” Ginobili said. “Then I was going to chase him. I think it was a bad move by me.

I should have run backwards.

It’s not that easy. He’s so quick.

He’s so amazing. I just was there.”

James insisted the game would not be a “measuring stick” for the Cavs, who are still trying to figure things out in the first weeks of the season.

He warned it would take time for Cleveland to jell as a team and, as usual, James is dead on.

Cleveland hasn’t beaten San Antonio since March 8, 2010,

during James’ first stint with the Cavs.

Following Monday’s loss to Denver, James warned his teammates they’d better not come out flat or they would be embarrassed by the Spurs, whom he called “the Patriots of the NBA.” Cleveland was ready, and with James on the bench with three fouls, Irving buried two straight 3-pointers and scored eight in a row to give the Cavs a 47-36 lead.

BUCKS 122, NETS 118 (3OT) In New York, Milwaukee overcame Brandon Knight’s shocking missed layup at the end of the first overtime to outlast the Nets in coach Jason Kidd’s return to Brooklyn.

Knight made the tying 3-pointer in the second overtime and the clinching free throws with 5.6 seconds to go in the third, allowing the Bucks to leave with a victory that he should’ve provided much sooner.

RAPTORS 96, GRIZZLIES 92 In Toronto, DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points, Terrence Ross had 14 of his 16 in the fourth quarter and the Raptors beat undermanned Memphis.

Kyle Lowry scored 18 and Lou Williams had 13 as the Eastern Conference leaders won for the seventh time in eight games.

LAKERS 98, ROCKETS 92 In Houston, Kobe Bryant had 29 points, Wesley Johnson made key free throws down the stretch and Los Angeles took advantage of Dwight Howard’s absence in a victory over the Rockets.

It was the second consecu-

tive win for the Lakers following a 1-9 start.

SUNS 88, PISTONS 86 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Eric Bledsoe scored 18 points, including the winning basket with 28.7 seconds to play, to lift Phoenix.

P.J. Tucker added 16 points for the Suns, who have won four of their last six.

MAVERICKS 105, WIZARDS 102 In Washington, Dirk Nowitzki limped off to the locker room after a fourth-quarter fall, then returned to make a key 3-pointer, and Monta Ellis scored 24 of his 34 points in the first half to lead Dallas past Washington for its fifth straight win.

Nowitzki went down in the key with about eight minutes left after twisting his left ankle.

But he came back in with 3½ minutes to go and Dallas trailing by a point. With 80 seconds left, Nowitzki sank a 3 to put the Mavs ahead 102-97.

NUGGETS 107, THUNDER 100 In Denver, Wilson Chandler had 21 points, including a key 3-pointer late in the game, and Timofey Mozgov finished with a season-high 17 to lift the Nuggets over Oklahoma City.

Ty Lawson added 15 points and 15 assists for the Nuggets, who returned home following a 2-1 trip that included a win over LeBron James and the Cavaliers.

CELTICS 101, 76ERS 90 In Philadelphia, Brandon Bass scored 23 points, Jared Sullinger added 22 and Boston sent the 76ers to its 11th straight loss to start the season.

Rajon Rondo had 13 assists with nine points, and Jeff Green chipped in 11 points for the Celtics, who snapped a threegame losing streak.

CLIPPERS 114, MAGIC 90 In Orlando, Fla., Jamal Crawford had 22 point, and Chris Paul added 16 points and nine assists as the Clippers beat the Magic.

Blake Griffin scored 20 points, and Jordan Farmar and Matt Barnes each had 13 as the Clippers opened a sevengame East Coast trip with an easy victory.

PACERS 88, HORNETS 86 In Indianapolis, Solomon Hill tipped in a miss by Rodney Stuckey as time expired, and the Pacers overcame an early 18-point deficit to beat the Hornets.

Hill finished with six points.

Roy Hibbert had 18 points and 11 rebounds as the Pacers spoiled Lance Stephenson’s first trip back to Indianapolis since signing with Charlotte in July.

TIMBERWOLVES 115, KNICKS 99 In Minneapolis, Kevin Martin shook off an illness to score 37 points, and the Timberwolves, missing three starters, beat the Knicks.

Martin tied a career high with seven 3-pointers and Shabazz Muhammad had 17 points and eight rebounds for the Wolves, who were missing Ricky Rubio, Thaddeus Young and Nikola Pekovic. Rubio and Pekovic were out because of injuries and Young was away because of the death of his mother.

Stranded: Others Bills race clock to clear snow-filled stadium boarded for shelter NFL

By John Wawrow The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills are looking for anyone with a snow shovel and plenty of spare time.

With 4 feet of snow having fallen at Ralph Wilson Stadium over the past two days, the Bills are racing the clock and Mother Nature to have the facility cleared in time to host the New York Jets on Sunday.

With another 1 to 2 feet of snow projected to fall by Thursday night, it’s unclear whether they’ll make it.

“It’s hard to tell. If we didn’t get any more snow from here on out, we would be fine,” Bills Vice President of Operations Andy Major said Wednesday.

“Knowing that we have another 1 to 2 feet potentially coming overnight, that just poses another challenge.”

It usually takes three days to clear a 1-foot snowfall, Major said. The snow removal has begun, and Major hopes to round up 500 people working three shifts around the clock to clear the facility.

The team has stayed in constant contact with the NFL, which will have the final say on whether to postpone the game or have it played elsewhere.

“We are working with the Bills today to determine the status of the stadium,” NFL spokesman Michael Signora said in an email to The Associated Press. “If a change to the schedule needs to be made, the league will make the decision working closely with the club and local authorities.”

The weather is supposed to warm by the weekend. The forecast for Saturday calls for a high of 39 and rain. On Sunday, the forecast calls for a high of 46 and partly cloudy skies.

Though rare, changing the date or location of a game has happened before.

The most notable switch occurred in 2005, when the New Orleans Saints were forced

to split their season playing in Baton Rouge, La., and San Antonio, Texas, after Hurricane Katrina damaged the Louisiana Superdome. In 2010, the Minnesota Vikings were forced to play their home game against the New York Giants a day later in Detroit after the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome’s roof tore open.

The storm forced the Bills to cancel practice Wednesday due to a driving ban in Orchard Park and its surrounding communities. And it’s unclear how many practices the team can get in before Sunday.

Coach Doug Marrone and his staff spent the night at the team’s headquarters going over the game plan and staying in contact with players.

“Us being able to go out and practice is obviously not an option for us,” Marrone said.

“This is very challenging. It’s a tough, tough situation.”

The Bills (5-5) are already coming off an extended break after getting the weekend off since a 22-9 loss at Miami on Thursday night. The Jets (2-8) had a bye weekend off since a 20-13 win over Pittsburgh on Nov. 9.

Buffalo practiced Monday, before players got their regular day off on Tuesday.

Though he grew up in the Bronx and spent five seasons coaching at Syracuse, Marrone had never experienced such a snowfall before.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Marrone said. “It’s very difficult to put into words exactly what’s going on.”

Marrone, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and defensive line coach Pepper Johnson found themselves in the thick of the storm while attempting to drive to the stadium Tuesday morning.

They required help from a New York State trooper to exit Interstate 90. And couldn’t get closer than within 5 miles of the stadium.

Marrone did his part by helping push cars out of the snow.

As much as 5 feet of snow hit a narrow region of communities south of Buffalo during a lakeeffect storm that began Monday night.

The Bills describe this is an unprecedented snowfall in their 65-year history. They estimate 220,000 tons of snow that need to be cleared from the stadium

and surrounding parking lots.

That would be enough to fill the team’s practice fieldhouse facility eight times over.

Bills players spent much of Tuesday sharing their snow-day experiences on social media.

Running back Fred Jackson produced an amusing video of himself playfully tossing his children into a large snow drift.

Receiver Marquise Goodwin posted a photo himself standing in the snow shirtless and wearing only sweatpants under the caption: “This snow doesn’t scare me.”

And kicker Dan Carpenter proved to be a good neighbor.

Roy Noble, 88, told The Buffalo News that he and his 87-year-old wife Lorraine were pleasantly surprised to find Carpenter, who lives next door, shovel a path through 5-foot drifts to ensure the couple was OK. The storm drew attention from around the league.

New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin deflected attention from his team’s struggles by opening his news conference on Wednesday saying: “Good morning. We could be in Buffalo.”

Members of the Niagara University women’s basketball team hold a sign Tuesday while their bus was snowbound on the New York State Thruway in the middle of a lake-effect storm that has dropped more than 4 feet of snow near Lackawanna, N.Y.

ment before April 15 for his violation of the personal conduct policy — the first example of a crackdown on players involved with domestic violence since stricter rules were put in place earlier this season.

The union, which announced it plans an appeal on behalf of Peterson, is demanding a neutral arbitrator oversee the hearing in the same way Rice’s case was handled. Rice is waiting for an arbitrator to decide whether his indefinite suspension should be upheld or overturned. Goodell made Rice’s suspension more severe when video of Rice hitting his then-fiancee was released online.

Goodell has said he hopes to have a new personal conduct policy ready before the Super Bowl.

Vincent said the league’s internal process — including

investigation, consulting independent experts, suspending players with pay and ultimately determining discipline — has been fair and transparent while following the collective bargaining agreement.

“In reality, those who are most upset with the personal conduct policy are those who violate it,” Vincent said. “The vast majority of players do not come into contact with the discipline process.”

Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jared Odrick said he disagreed with Peterson’s punishment by the NFL, saying it showed how much scrutiny NFL players face over personal actions.

“It’s great and unfortunate that we’re at the forefront of America showing how to do good and bad. It’s a responsibility placed on us,” he said.

Straight to the top As opening day nears, Taos Ski Valley readies lift to Kachina Peak

By Will Webber The New Mexican

O

ne of the most sought-after spots in New Mexico’s ski country just got a whole lot easier to access.

At least, it will be as soon as Ol’ Man Winter decides to cooperate.

The brand-new lift to the top of Kachina Peak at Taos Ski Valley is complete and ready to take adventurous types to the top of the mountain.

All that’s needed is a few good snowstorms and a foot (or three) of tightly packed snow.

When that time comes — Taos typically opens Kachina Peak in January, sometimes as late as February — the area will become the state’s hottest destination spot on the slopes this winter.

It is clearly one of the highlights of the 2014-15 ski season in New Mexico, a season that actually began last week when Sipapu again beat everyone to the punch and opened (as promised) by midNovember.

It marks the seventh straight year Sipapu has been the first to open its doors, so to speak. The resort’s operators aim to keep the area operational until April, something it has done 11 of the last 12 years.

Four other resorts have their eyes set on Thanksgiving weekend for their launch date. Red River is set to open the day before Thanksgiving while Ski Santa Fe, Ski Apache (near Ruidoso) and TSV all will open on the holiday.

Angel Fire has marked Dec. 12 as its opener while others, like Sandia Peak (near Albuquerque) and Pajarito (Los Alamos), are just waiting on snow conditions to improve. Sandia Peak has advertised Dec. 20 as its tentative opening date while Pajarito, now under the management of the same people who run Sipapu, has put off its opening indefinitely.

“The last storm gave us 18 inches but, if you can believe it, Pajarito only got 3,” said Sipapu spokeswoman Stacey Glaser. “We were optimistic that we might open [Pajarito] by Thanksgiving, but that’s no longer the case. After looking at the 10-day forecast, the decision was made to postpone the opening until we get enough snow.”

Pajarito does have snowmaking capabilities, but getting the water from the Los Alamos reservoir into the holding pond at the ski area is problematic even in the best of conditions. Add in the freezing temperatures and the lack of approval from the U.S. Forest Service, and getting the snowblowers to produce at the rate of other resorts just isn’t possible.

For now, the wish-date for Pajarito’s opening is pushed back to Dec. 20.

Until then, winter enthusiasts will have plenty of distractions. Namely the always-popular 77-trail terrain at Ski Santa Fe and the muchhyped opening of the Kachina Peak chairlift.

Rising straight up the gut of the mountain, the lift was installed this summer and is being tested almost daily to make sure everything is as it should be once enough snow accumulates.

In the entire history of Taos Ski Valley, the peak was only accessible by a 30- to 45-minute hike after a ride to what was then the highest stop on the chairlift brigade.

“Obviously the priority there is safety, but once we feel we’ve got the conditions we’re hoping for we’ll have it fully operational,” said Taos Ski Valley spokeswoman Erin Dolin. “What’s exciting about it is we’re adding 50 percent more skiable terrain for the advanced skiers and snowboarders.

There are a lot of adventurous skiers who love those kinds of areas but aren’t necessarily into the hike-to-terrain requirements we had before the lift was installed.”

The other big news at Taos has been the addition of two state-of-the-art snow cannons, a pair of monster machines that operate so efficiently that they’ve dramatically increased snowmaking capabilities without requiring additional water — which is always a problem early in every ski season.

But that’s not the only change at Taos Ski Valley. The ever-popular ski village in the valley has undergone a series of face-lifts that will continue once the current ski season ends. For now, the first thing people will notice is a welcome change to the dropoff entrance. Rather than the veritable obstacle course of steps and uphill climbs to the

In brief Study shows economic impact of hunting, fishing The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish released a study that showed hunters and anglers spend more than $613 million on their recreational activities and contribute another $51.4 million to the state’s economy in labor, income and taxes.

The study by Southwick Associates, specialists in fish and wildlife economics and statistics, was commissioned to determine the amount of participation and subsequent economic impacts hunters and anglers have on the state overall and for each county.

“Hunting and fishing are among New Mexico’s most cherished traditions,” Gov. Susana Martinez said. “This study clearly shows the tremendous

ski shop, massive grading has essentially made the entrance level with the parking surface and given more of a less-daunting appearance to the place.

“The walkway gives you a beautiful view to the entire area,” Dolin said. “It has always been there, but now it’s a much more enjoyable experience because it’s not as hilly and it’s much easier to walk around.”

Sipapu’s biggest enhancement is a new tree skiing trail that adds terrain and makes the mountain more challenging and fun for any visitor. Over the summer, crews cleared areas to allow just enough space for runs to meander through thickets of trees not far from the base.

Of course, the early season always means discounted lift tickets. Taos Ski Valley is knocking $23 off its daily adult rate through Dec. 19, dropping an all-terrain pass down to $59. Similar rebates are common throughout New Mexico as owners and operators wait it out until the peak season surrounding the Christmas and New

value our wildlife resources bring to our state, creating nearly 8,000 jobs and contributing millions to New Mexico’s economy.”

The study shows New Mexico has more than 160,000 resident and nonresident anglers who spend $268 million a year on fishing-related activities, while 87,600 hunters spend $345.5 million a year on their activities.

Hunters and anglers also support more than 7,900 jobs that provide more than $267 million in labor income, according to the study. The estimated state and local revenues generated from these activities is over $51 million annually.

Year’s holidays.

Until then, it’s all about watching the skies and hoping the long-range forecasts produce a lot of dark blue and purple blobs on the radar screens.

The ongoing winter blast has been a welcome reprieve from the unseasonably warm weather, but the snow accumulations have been slower and far less frequent than hoped.

“With temperatures as high as they’ve been, it’s not easy making snow,” Glaser said. “We’re constantly moving our snow guns, and once we make big enough piles, we’ll spread it around the mountain. But still, real snow would be great.”

For now, last weekend’s two brief storms have given some places hope.

Angel Fire has a 20-inch base, but farther south, conditions aren’t as good. Santa Fe has just 7 inches; not a great base considering half the mountain is free from snowmaking.

Sandia Peak and, of course, Pajarito, always struggle when winter fails to produce large accumulations of the white stuff.

Undaunted, the ski season is here, no matter whether Ol’ Man Winter is willing to cooperate just yet.

“All I can say is, we’re ready for opening day and ready for what’s coming up,” Dolin said.

Prices for permits range from $5 for trees under 10 feet, $10 for those between 10 and 15 feet and $15 for trees between 15 and 20 feet with a limit of three permits per person.

A couple of guidelines officials offer: u Tag trees before gutting them. Strip off the paper backing and fold the tag securely onto itself around one of the lower branches. Load your tree so that the tag is easily visible to forest officials checking tags. u Please ensure the vehicle you take can handle snow and ice. u Forest patrols may be in the cutting areas to check permits and answer questions only. They are not authorized to sell tree tags. u Cut stump as low to the ground as possible, and do not leave a stump of more than 6 inches in height.

Staff and wire reports

irds don’t have the option of spending cold nights indoors.

The best they can do is to find a well-insulated tree cavity or old nest box. Some birds group together for warmth along pine branches, safe from wind and snow, or find a spot under the eaves of your porch to hide from the elements.

It’s helpful to keep a dense brush pile in your backyard to welcome nighttime visitors. If your brush pile is created from your end-of-season gardening, don’t include flower heads and grasses.

The seeds provided by leaving much of your backyard vegetation intact will help feed birds all winter long. Don’t cut them back until spring growth begins to emerge.

As temperatures drop, birds need more calories to survive. Fewer daylight hours (birds eat only when it’s light out) adds to their challenge. A few minor tweaks in your bird feeding routine should do the trick. A few winter time food ideas: u Add a quality seed cylinder to your feeding station. Loaded with nuts and sunflower, this long-lasting high fat food attracts seed eaters like finches, chickadees, and grosbeaks, but also suet eaters like bushtits and woodpeckers. u Spike your seed mix with suet nuggets or peanut pieces to add fat and calories to any mix. Avoid peanut hearts as they just don’t give the calorie punch that peanut pieces or suet nuggets do. u Switch to a high-fat winter blend loaded with sunflower, nuts, and suet nuggets. u Add suet to your backyard. Smearing bark butter (spreadable suet) directly onto your trees is an easy way to welcome suet eaters like woodpeckers. No feeder needed.

Place all feeders where they can be seen from inside. It’s more fun that way.

Also, be sure your feeders are easy to get to, so filling them is not too much trouble even if it snows. Keep feeders full. I use seed cylinders which last a week or two, but I fill my loose seed feeders late in the afternoon so birds have a sure source of seed just before nightfall and at daybreak.

I use large enough feeders so I don’t have to fill them daily because, honestly, life doesn’t always allow me to pay attention to the birds in my backyard every day.

Using large feeders and seed cylinders lets me be a bit lazy without guilt.

A birdbath deicer will keep your bath from freezing and provide birds water whenever they need it. Birds often visit a bath at daybreak after a long cold night, only to find ice. Waiting until our New Mexico sun melts the ice doesn’t help these early morning visitors.

Just some of the Santa Fe birds to look for right now include Steller’s jays, pinyon jays, western scrub jays, mountain chickadees, white breasted nuthatches, flickers, Townsend’s solitaires, magpies, pine siskins, canyon towhees and spotted towhees.

Sandhill cranes are still flying overhead, and if you want to see some cranes up close the Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge has water, cranes and lots of other birds right now. Sundays in November from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. the driving loop through the refuge will be open for visitors, and areas not usually open for public use will be accessible. Volunteer roving naturalists will be on hand with spotting scopes to help visitors identify birds. The visitor center at the refuge is also worth checking out. LVNWR is on N.M. 281, just east of Las Vegas, N.M. Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe and she loves to hear your bird stories.
