In hearing, businessman, AG spar over horse slaughterhouse Roswell businessman’s lawyer says Attorney General Gary King is playing politics with the planned horseslaughter plant.

Judge delays ruling on King’s suit against Roswell plant

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Rick De Los Santos, the businessman who for two years has been trying to open a horse-slaughter plant in New Mexico, will have to wait at least another 10 days for a ruling.

State District Judge Matthew Wilson of Santa Fe heard two hours of arguments Friday before extending a temporary restraining order against De Los Santos’ business, Valley Meat Co. Wilson scheduled another hearing for Jan. 13 to more deeply explore state Attorney General Gary King’s lawsuit

Glimpse of a bookless future

Panel proposes 1.5% raise

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

The Legislative Finance Committee on Friday unveiled a $6.15 billion budget with $50 million for a 1.5 percent across-the-board pay hike for all state workers, an item that already has drawn criticism from Gov. Susana Martinez.

Meanwhile, the committee’s budget would set aside $35 million for early childhood initiatives, including $12 million for literacy programs, nearly $10 million for pre-kindergarten and $4 million for home visits for high-risk families with infants. About 58 percent of the budget ($3.55 billion) would go to education. Of that, public schools would get $2.7 billion, an increase of nearly $143 million, or 5.6 percent.

The state budget is the basic framework for spending in state government. Martinez is expected to release her budget proposal next week. The full Legislature, which convenes Jan. 21, will approve the final budget for the fiscal year, which begins July 1.

Both co-chairmen of the Legislative Finance Committee, Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, and Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, said at a Friday news conference that they don’t foresee major budget battles in the upcoming session.

However, a spokesman for the governor blasted the committee’s proposed budget, telling The Associated Press that the proposal “doles out millions of dollars worth of untargeted, across-the-board government employee pay raises, while dramati-

Lawmakers’ budget: Pay hikes and more Highlights of budget proposals released Friday by the Legislative Finance Committee for the upcoming 30-day session of the Legislature:

Ó

Spending on public school operations, the Public Education Department and other education initiatives would increase by 5.6 percent or nearly $143 million. That would provide about $2.7 billion in overall funding for schools, which traditionally account for the largest share of spending in the state budget.

Ô

Spending would drop 2.7 percent to $905 million for Medicaid, which provides health care for needy children and low-income adults. The state expects to reduce its spending because of possible savings in the program and the availability of more federal money.

Ó

About $103 million for pay increases for workers in state agencies, courts, public schools, colleges and universities. All workers would receive at least a 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase and higher raises, averaging about 3 percent, are possible for most employees depending on how schools and agencies allocate part of the proposed money for compensation. Certain government workers, such state police and judge, could get increases of about 8 percent.

Ó

$11 million to immediately shore up a lottery-financed college scholarship program and prevent possible cuts for students this spring. The program currently covers the full cost of tuition for eligible New Mexico students at public colleges and universities in the state. The Department of Finance and Administration estimates $16 million is needed to avoid cutbacks. The committee also recommends changing the program to provide a flat dollar amount for scholarships in the future rather than linking the aid to tuition.

‘Polar vortex’ to blast frigid air across Midwest starting Sunday

By Carson Walker The Associated Press

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The weather warnings are dire: Life threatening wind chills. Historic cold outbreak.

Winter is normally cold, but starting Sunday, tundra-like temperatures are poised to deliver a rare and potentially dangerous sledgehammer blow to much of the Midwest, driving temperatures so far below zero that records will shatter.

One reason? A “polar vortex,” as one meteorologist calls it, which will send cold air piled up at the North Pole down to the U.S., funneling it as far south as the Gulf Coast.

The temperature predictions are startling: 25 below zero in Fargo, N.D., minus 31 in International Falls, Minn., and 15 below in Indianapolis and Chicago. At those temperatures, exposed skin can get frostbitten in minutes and hypothermia can quickly set in because wind chills could hit 50, 60 or even 70 below zero.

Temperature records will likely be broken during

MILWAUKEE — The federal government on Friday proposed eliminating restrictions on the use of corn and soybean seeds that are genetically engineered to resist a common weed killer, a move welcomed by many farmers but feared by scientists and environmentalists who worry it could invite growers to use more chemicals.

The herbicide known as 2,4-D has had limited use in corn and soybean farming because it becomes toxic to the plants early in their growth. The new seeds would allow farmers to use the weed killer throughout the plants’ lives.

Farmers have been eager for a new generation of herbicide-resistant seeds because of the prevalence of

weeds that have become immune to Monsanto’s Roundup. But skeptics are concerned that use of the new seeds and 2,4-D will only lead to similar problems as weeds acquire resistance to that chemical, too.

“It’s just so clear. You can see that you have this pesticide treadmill effect,” said Bill Freese, a chemist with the Washington, D.C.-based Center For Food Safety, which promotes organic agriculture.

Most corn and soybeans grown in the U.S. are already genetically engineered, largely to resist Roundup, which was introduced in 1976. Before that, most farmers tilled their fields prior to planting, flipping the soil over and burying the weeds to kill them. The technique also exposed tilled earth to the air, creating problems with erosion and runoff.

Main office: 983-3303 Late paper: 986-3010

Herbicide-resistant seeds permitted most farmers to stop tilling because they could spray fields after their plants emerged, killing the weeds but leaving crops unharmed.

The new generation of plants “allowed us to do a better job of controlling the weeds, and therefore, we’ve been able to do a better job of preserving the soil, which is our primary natural resource,” said Ron Moore, who grows 2,000 acres of corn and soybeans with his brother in western Illinois.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s plant-inspection agency concluded that the greatest risk from the new seeds developed by Dow AgroSciences was increased use of 2,4-D, which could hasten the evolution of weeds resistant to it.

In brief HONOLULU — The Obama administration on Friday announced a pair of executive actions aimed at strengthening federal background checks for gun purchasers, with a particular focus on limiting firearm access for those with mental health issues.

One proposed rule change aims to clarify terminology used by federal law to prohibit people from purchasing a firearm for mental health reasons.

A second proposed rule change would give hospitals and other entities covered by patient privacy provisions more flexibility in the information they provide to the background check system.

Glimpse of bookless future The Texas BiblioTech is attracting emissaries from around the world

By Paul J. Weber The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Texas exas has seen the future of the public library, and it looks a lot like an Apple Store: Rows of glossy iMacs beckon. iPads mounted on a tangerine-colored bar invite readers. And hundreds of other tablets stand ready for checkout to anyone with a borrowing card.

Even the librarians imitate Apple’s dress code, wearing matching shirts and that standard-bearer of geek-chic, the hoodie. But this $2.3 million library might be most notable for what it does not have — any actual books.

That makes Bexar County’s BiblioTech the nation’s only bookless public library, a distinction that has attracted scores of digital bookworms, plus emissaries from as far away as Hong Kong who want to learn about the idea and possibly take it home.

“I told our people that you need to take a look at this. This is the future,” said Mary Graham, vice president of South Carolina’s Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce. “If you’re going to be building new library facilities, this is what you need to be doing.”

All-digital libraries have been on college campuses for years. But the county, which runs no other libraries, made history when it decided to open BiblioTech. It is the first bookless public library system in the country, according to information gathered by the American Library Association.

Similar proposals in other communities have been met with doubts. In California, the city of Newport Beach floated the concept

of a bookless branch in 2011 until a backlash put stacks back in the plan. Nearly a decade earlier in Arizona, the Tucson-Pima library system opened an all-digital branch, but residents who said they wanted books ultimately got their way.

Graham toured BiblioTech in the fall and is pushing Charleston leaders for a bond measure in 2014 to fund a similar concept, right down to the same hip aesthetic reminiscent of Apple.

Except Apple Stores aren’t usually found in parts of town like this. BiblioTech is on the city’s economically depressed South Side and shares an old strip mall with a Bexar County government building. On a recent afternoon, one confused couple walked into the library looking for the justice of the peace.

San Antonio is the nation’s seventh-largest city but ranks 60th in literacy, according to census figures. Back in the early 2000s, community leaders in Bibliotech’s neighborhood of low-income apartments and thrift stores railed about not even having a nearby bookstore, said Laura Cole, BiblioTech’s project coordinator.

A decade later, Cole said, most families in the area still don’t have Wi-Fi. “How do you advance literacy with so few resources available?” she said.

Residents are taking advantage now. The library is on pace to surpass 100,000 visitors in its first year. Finding an open iMac among the four dozen at BiblioTech is often difficult after the nearby high school lets out, and about half of the facility’s e-readers are checked out at any given time, each loaded with up to five books. One of BiblioTech’s regulars is a man teaching himself Mandarin.

Head librarian Ashley Elkholf came from a traditional Wisconsin high school library and recalled the scourges of her old job: mis-

shelved items hopelessly lost in the stacks, pages thoughtlessly ripped out of books and items that went unreturned by patrons who were unfazed by measly fines and lax enforcement.

But in the nearly four months since BiblioTech opened, Elkholf has yet to lend out one of her pricey tablets and never see it again. The space is also more economical than traditional libraries despite the technology: BiblioTech purchases its 10,000-title digital collection for the same price as physical copies, but the county saved millions on architecture because the building’s design didn’t need to accommodate printed books.

“If you have bookshelves, you have to structure the building so it can hold all of that weight,” Elkholf said. “Books are heavy, if you’ve ever had one fall on your foot.”

Up the road in Austin, for example, the city is building a downtown library to open in 2016 at a cost of $120 million. Even a smaller traditional public library that recently opened in nearby suburban Kyle cost that city about $1 million more than BiblioTech.

On her first visit, 19-year-old Abigail Reyes was only looking for a quiet space to study for an algebra exam. But she got a quick tutorial from a librarian on how to search for digital books and check out tablets before plopping down on a row of sleek couches.

“I kind of miss the books,” Reyes said. “I don’t like being on the tablets and stuff like that. It hurts my eyes.”

Across the room, Rosemary Caballeo tried shopping for health insurance on a set of computers reserved for enrollment in the Affordable Care Act. Her restless 2-year-old ran around and pawed at a row of keyboards. The little girl shrieked loudly, shattering the main room’s quiet. She was soon whisked outside by her father.

After all, it’s still a library.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Two weeks of suspense over who won a $324 million lottery prize ended Friday with the announcement that a delivery driver who bought the winning ticket at an East San Jose, Calif., gift shop finally stepped forward to claim his winnings.

But who is Steve Tran from “Northern California”?

The state’s newest multimillionaire slipped into the lottery’s Sacramento headquarters the day after New Year’s — and just three days after he realized he had the ticket — to claim $173.8 million, before taxes.

Tran declined to participate in the traditional news conference for winners, instead providing only a few comments and details to lottery officials to release Friday.

Tran said he is — or was — a delivery driver who loves to visit San Jose with his family and bought tickets throughout his route.

The winning numbers were drawn Dec. 17.

When days passed and no one came forward, the news cameras went into hibernation on the story.

Some thought the winner might have been waiting out the holidays or lining up a cadre of lawyers ready to march in with him as he claimed the fortune.

It appears the nail-biting delay has a much simpler answer: Tran didn’t even know he was the winner until this week.

On the day after the winning numbers were drawn, Tran said he watched the story in the news with as much wonder about the winner as millions of other Californians.

Then he took his family on vacation. The entire time, he had a pile of lottery tickets he had bought in multiple towns while making delivery runs. “Just sitting in my house, on top of my drawer,” Tran said.

They returned from the trip, and about 3 a.m. Monday, an electrifying thought raced through his mind and startled him out of slumber. “I woke up in the middle of the night,” Tran told lottery officials. “I remembered, I think I went to San Jose.”

Tran checked his tickets and made the $324 million discovery.

According to the agency, Tran has chosen to take his winnings in one $173.8 million lump sum and will clear about $130.3 million after federal taxes. He is one of two winners in the nationwide $648 million drawing — the second-largest jackpot in U.S. history. The other newly minted multimillionaire, Ira Curry of Georgia, claimed her winnings and immediately dropped out of sight. She also took her bonanza as a lump sum — $123 million after taxes.

Tran says he and his family visit San Jose because of its large Vietnamese community and the shopping and restaurants.

There is no word on what Tran plans to do with the money other than take a vacation.

Northeast digs out amid extreme cold Health law plans leave some ‘underinsured’

Storm blamed for at least 15 deaths

The Associated Press

By Michelle R. Smith and Rodrique Ngowi The Associated Press

BOSTON — Homeowners and motorists dug out across the white-blanketed Northeast on Friday as extreme cold ushered in by the storm threatened fingers and toes but kept the snow powdery and mercifully easy to shovel. At least 15 deaths were blamed on the storm as it swept across the nation’s eastern half.

While the snowfall had all but stopped by morning across the hard-hit Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor and many highways and streets were soon plowed and reopened, temperatures were in the single digits and teens, with wind chills well below zero.

“The snow is easy to move because the air was so cold when it snowed that it’s sort of light and fluffy stuff — but, uh, it’s cold,” Avalon “Nick” Minton said as he cleared the entrance to his garage and sidewalk in Arlington, Mass. “That’s the main part. It’s cold.”

And officials from the Midwest to New England are preparing for another arctic blast in the next few days that could be even worse.

The heaviest snow fell north of Boston in Boxford, which received nearly 2 feet. Nearly 18 inches fell in Boston and in western New York near Rochester. Lakewood, N.J., got 10 inches, and New York’s Central Park 6. Philadelphia got more than 6 inches.

Temperatures reached 8 below zero in Burlington, Vt., with a wind chill of 29 below, and 2 degrees in Boston. Wind chills there and in Providence, R.I., made it feel like minus-20 Friday morning, and the forecast called for more of the same into Saturday.

Emergency officials warned that anyone spending more than a few minutes outdoors in such conditions could suffer frostbite.

Wellington Ferreira said the cold was worse than the snow as he cleared a sidewalk in front of Johnny D’s Uptown Restaurant and Music Club in Somerville.

“My ears are frozen,” he said.

Warming centers opened around the region, homeless shelters received more people,

and cities took special measures to look after those most vulnerable to the cold. Teams in New York City searched the streets for homeless people, while police in Boston asked residents to call 911 if they saw someone in need.

In Newport, R.I., the Seaman’s Church Institute said it would stay open around the clock until the cold breaks to give mariners and others who work in or around the harbor a warm place to stay, shower and eat.

The light, powdery snow was a blessing in another respect: It did not weigh down electrical lines or tree limbs, and as a result, there were only a few thousand power outages across the Northeast.

Slick roads were blamed for several traffic deaths. In addition, a 71-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease froze to

death after she wandered away from her rural western New York home. And a worker in Philadelphia was killed when a 100-foot-high pile of road salt fell and crushed him.

Schools as far south as Washington, D.C., were closed on Friday. Many government offices also shut down.

Major highways in and around New York City reopened, and airports across the region struggled to resume normal operations after U.S. airlines canceled around 2,200 flights on Friday on top of 2,300 the day before.

Jeremy Shapiro, 73, of Manhattan became stranded at New York’s Kennedy Airport on Thursday. On Friday afternoon, he was still holding out hope for a spot flying standby so he could get to Santa Barbara, Calif.

He secured a cot, a pillow and

a blanket after seeing about 150 passengers sleeping on cots at the terminal.

“It looked like an infirmary from World War I,” he said.

Severe cold also gripped the Midwest on Friday.

In Wisconsin, the mercury dipped to minus-18 in Green Bay, breaking by 1 degree the record set in 1979. Fort Wayne, Ind., saw a record low minus-10.

And the mercury sank to 2 below zero at the Detroit airport.

Temperatures in the Midwest and the Northeast are expected to rise briefly over the weekend before the arrival of another blast of extraordinarily cold air.

Budget: $837M would go to higher ed Continued from Page A-1 cally underfunding economic development efforts.”

The committee’s budget — which includes a spending increase of more than $253 million — almost seemed like a return to the more carefree days before the recession. Both Varela and Smith spoke of the budget cuts the Legislature had to make during the 2009 session.

Varela has been banging the drum for state worker pay raises for months. He has pointed out that there are large levels of vacant positions in several agencies and has said the governor should either fill the positions or use the money saved to increase employee salaries.

Besides the across-the-board raises, the proposed money for pay hikes includes $40 million to help schools and state agencies recruit workers for hard-to-fill positions, to reward deserving employees and to fix other pay issues.

State police would get another $3 million to implement a new pay plan, while the Children, Youth and Families Department would get $1 million to recruit and retain child protective services and juvenile justice employees.

The budget includes a proposed $4.5 million to raise the pay of beginning teachers to $32,500 a year from $30,000.

(Martinez has said she wants to raise that to $33,000 a year.) The committee’s recommendation also includes $2.7 million for salary increases for teacher’s aides.

One likely point of contention in the school budget is the fact that Martinez and many Republicans want to see the Public Education Department have more power in spending decisions, such as merit-pay plans for teachers. The Legislative Finance Committee’s budget, however, would allow individual school districts to have more say over their money.

Rep. Don Tripp, R-Socorro, who is

Governor proposes tax breaks for startups ALBUQUERQUE — Republican Gov. Susana Martinez proposes to expand economic development tax incentives aimed at encouraging investment in startup and technology companies.

Martinez outlined the measures Friday. The tax changes will need approval of the Legislature to take effect.

One proposal expands a tax credit provided to “angel investors” who help finance new companies. The governor wants to provide up to $2 million a year in credits, up from a current $750,000 cap, and increase the individual investments that qualify for a tax break.

Martinez also proposes to revamp existing credits for small technology companies, potentially costing the state $2 million a year. One change would allow firms to collect a refund for some spending on research and development if their tax credits exceed their tax liability.

The Associated Press

a member of the committee, said that while he generally supports the proposed budget, his primary concern “is that the Public Education Department [budget] may have fallen short. This takes the legs out from under some of the [education] reforms” advocated by the governor.

Higher education would receive nearly $837 million from the general fund.

The proposed budget would provide $11 million to cover expected shortfalls for the next semester in the state’s lottery scholarship program, which provides scholarships for residents attending state

colleges and universities. Up to this point, the scholarships have been funded by sales of state lottery tickets.

The budget also would set aside almost $11 million for lottery scholarships for the fall semester. But this would be contingent on passing legislation to stabilize the program, which has fallen short due to a rising number of requests and increasing tuition rates at state colleges and universities.

Varela said some of the ideas proposed for shoring up the scholarship fund include raising the scholarship’s minimum qualifying grade-point average from 2.5 to 2.75 and raising the minimum number of required credit hours per semester from 12 to 15.

Smith added that the program must put a cap on the scholarships, which currently cover full tuition for all recipients, even as tuition rates continue to rise. “It can’t be tied to the tuition rate,” Smith said.

One major area of state government spending, Medicaid — which is now called Centennial Care — would actually be decreased in the committee’s budget proposal. The program, which includes coverage for behavioral health, would get $905 million, which is a decrease of more than $24 million, or 2.6 percent, from the current year.

Part of the reason for the decrease is that the state has more federal funding for the program, including over $18 million in new drug rebate revenue and $8 million from a higher federal match.

The federal government is expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Varela and Smith said they don’t expect to see any major tax bills this year — though there might be some minor tweaks to the massive tax bill that passed last year. That bill included cutting the rate of the state corporate income tax.

Horse: Assistant AG calls businessman a ‘serial violator’ Year’s holiday, Wilson said.

Blair Dunn, the lawyer for De Los Santos, asked Wilson to make the state post a bond so that De Los Santos would be compensated for financial losses if he eventually prevails in the lawsuit. Wilson declined to do so, but said he would revisit Dunn’s request during the next hearing.

Dunn said King, a Democrat who is running for governor, had not sued Valley Meat Co. because of any legitimate concerns about public safety. Rather, Dunn said, King’s lawsuit was calculated to advance his campaign for governor.

“Their real goal is to harass this company. … This is a politically driven issue,” Dunn said.

De Los Santos’ opponents include actor Robert Redford and many other New Mexico politicians, including Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and former Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat.

They have said a horse-slaughter plant is not the kind of business that New Mexico wants or needs.

Dunn and De Los Santos counter that horses already are being yanked from American soil, hauled on excruciating trips and killed for food. In 2012, about 158,000 horses from the United States were transported to Mexico and Canada,

Albuquerque boy who was killed had reported abuse ALBUQUERQUE — A 9-year-old Albuquerque boy who allegedly was killed by his mother had disclosed physical abuse to authorities a year ago.

The Albuquerque Journal reported that

Continued from Page A-1 But, the agency said, resistance could develop anyway because 2,4-D is the third most-used weed-killer in the nation.

Freese and other advocates also raised concerns about possible health risks from increased use of 2,4-D and the chemical’s tendency to drift beyond the area where it is sprayed, threatening neighboring crops and wild plants.

Dow AgroSciences has attempted to address that by developing a new version of 2,4-D and new equipment to use with it, company spokesman Garry Hamlin said.

The seeds and new 2,4-D have been approved in Canada but not yet sold there. The company has targeted their release in the U.S. for 2015, pending approval by various federal agencies. In anticipation of that, it has received import approval from seven nations and has applications pending in about six others to allow farmers who use the seeds sold under the Enlist brand to export their crops.

Some nations, particularly in Europe, have been resistant to genetically engineered crops, and consumer concerns have created a market for organic and other foods made without genetically modified ingredients. Minneapolis-based General Mills announced Thursday that it had switched the sugar and cornstarch in original Cheerios to make that product GMO-free.

For now, Dow AgroSciences’ seeds can only be used in tightly controlled trials.

The Center for Food Safety and the environmental group Earthjustice threatened legal action if restrictions on the seeds are lifted.

The public has 45 days to comment on the USDA report published Friday as part of the deregulation process.

The Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a separate review on the impact of expanded use of 2,4-D, although it previously found the herbicide safe.

The EPA plans to release a report in the coming months, and the two agencies are expected to make final decisions simultaneously on use

of the chemical and seeds. It was not clear when that would happen.

Dow AgroSciences has asked the USDA to deregulate one corn and two soybean varieties, all resistant to both 2,4-D and glyphosate, the generic form of Roundup.

The USDA said farmers could help curb resistance to 2,4-D by using a variety of means to fight weeds and not relying solely on the one herbicide.

Eighty-six percent of corn, soybean and cotton farmers in the South and 74 percent of those in the Midwest have had problems with hard-to-control weeds, Hamlin said, citing private data from agricultural services.

“These growers need new tools,” he said.

Moore said he currently uses both glyphosate and another herbicide in an effort to discourage resistance. He was not certain whether he would use the Enlist seeds and 2,4-D if that became an option because he has not had problems with Roundup resistance.

But he said he knows famers who have had trouble, and some have gone back to tilling.

Weeds cannot be left in fields because they suck up the nutrients, water and sunlight meant for crops.

“Those are the three things that plants all need to grow,” Moore said. “I don’t want anything competing with my soybeans.”

Freese said he would rather see farmers use organic means to control weeds, perhaps by using cover crops that go into the ground after the harvest to hold soil in place and deter weeds until the next growing season.

Among its critics, 2,4-D is best known as a component of the Vietnam War-era herbicide Agent Orange, which has not been produced since the 1970s.

Agent Orange has been tied to health problems in Vietnam veterans, but scientists do not believe 2,4-D was the culprit.

Instead, their research focused on dioxin, a cancer-causing substance found in another ingredient known as 2,4,5-T, which was banned by the EPA in 1985.

mostly to slaughterhouses.

King did not appear in the courtroom.

One of his assistants, Ari Biernoff, argued the merits of King’s lawsuit.

Biernoff said De Los Santos had publicly announced that he would slaughter horses even without a permit from the state Environment Department for disposal of sewage water.

Biernoff called De Los Santos “a serial violator of environmental laws” when he slaughtered cattle at his plant. Given De Los Santos’ track record, King felt obligated to sue in the public’s interest, Biernoff said.

Just as important, Biernoff said, Valley Meat Co. now proposes a more controversial business venture that could put the public health at risk. Many horses are drugged during their lifetimes, and turning them into food could put people at risk, he said.

He said De Los Santos had “no idea” of the medical history of horses that would be slaughtered for consumption in international markets.

Dunn had a tart response. He said if King had been interested in truth instead of politics, he could have satisfied any of his concerns about the slaughter plant with a phone call to the Environment Department.

De Los Santos has been working with the state agency for months and will be in

full compliance with all state laws, Dunn said.

One option for Valley Meat Co. is to establish a pump-and-haul operation for sewage. De Los Santos said he had invested $250,000 in a lagoon for his plant, but it sits idle because of continued litigation.

Valley Meat Co. last fall won another lawsuit in federal court that sought to mothball the plant until an environmental review of horse slaughter in America.

Horse-slaughter plants in the United States have been shuttered since 2007, when Congress declined to fund inspections by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

De Los Santos said he stands ready to put 40 people in Chaves County to work if the lawsuit is resolved in his favor.

Dunn said King’s lawsuit was improper on every level, including jurisdiction.

Dunn argued that a state District Court had no authority over a case being overseen administratively by the Environment Department. Wilson withheld judgment on that argument, saying he would rule on whether he had jurisdiction when he convenes the next hearing.

police investigators have found documents indicating that Omaree Varela disclosed abuse to school officials.

Details of the alleged abuse aren’t available, but a police spokeswoman says school officials reported the disclosure to police and that police investigators officers consulted the District Attorney’s

the short, yet forceful deep freeze that will begin in many places on Sunday and extend into early next week. That’s thanks to a perfect combination of the jet stream, cold surface temperatures and the polar vortex — a counterclockwise-rotating pool of cold, dense air, said Ryan Maue, of Tallahassee, Fla., a meteorologist for Weather Bell.

“All the ingredients are there for a near-record or historic cold outbreak,” he said. “If you’re under 40 [years old], you’ve not seen this stuff before.”

Snow already on the ground and fresh powder expected in some places ahead of the cold air will reduce the sun’s heating effect, so nighttime lows will plummet thanks to strong northwest winds that will deliver the Arctic blast, Maue said. And there’s no warming effect from the Gulf to counteract the cold air, he said.

The cold blast will sweep through parts of New England, where residents will have just dug out from a snowstorm and the frigid temperatures that followed. Parts of the central Midwest could also see up to a foot of snow just as the cold sweeps in pulling temperatures to 10 below zero in the St. Louis area.

Even places accustomed to normally mild to warmer winters will see a plunge in temperatures early next week, including Atlanta, where the high is expected to hover in the mid-20s on Tuesday.

“This one happens to be really big and it’s going to dive deep into the continental U.S. And all that cold air is going to

come with it,” said Sally Johnson, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls.

It’s relatively uncommon to have such frigid air blanket so much of the U.S., maybe once a decade or every couple of decades, Maue said. But in the long-run the deep temperature dives are less meaningful for comparison to other storms than daytime highs that are below-zero and long cold spells, he said.

And so far, this winter is proving to be a cold one.

“Right now for the winter, we will have had two significant shots of major Arctic air and we’re only through the first week of January. And we had a pretty cold December,” Maue said.

Cities and states are already taking precautions. Minnesota called off school for Monday statewide, the first such closing in 17 years, because of projected highs in the minus teens and lows as cold as 30 below. Milwaukee and Madison, Wis., students also won’t be in class Monday. North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple urged superintendents to keep children’s safety in making the decision after the state forecast called for “life threatening wind chills” through Tuesday morning.

And though this cold spell will last just a few days as warmer air comes behind, it likely will freeze over the Great Lakes and other bodies of water, meaning frigid temperatures will likely last the rest of winter, Maue said.

“It raises the chances for future cold,” he said, adding it could include next month’s Super Bowl in New York.

Police seek suspects in 2 armed robberies Incident at MVD Express may be linked to New Year’s Eve heist at dollar store

anta Fe police say an armed robbery just before 6 p.m. Friday at the MVD Express on St. Michael’s Drive may be linked to a similar incident New Year’s Eve. According to a statement issued at about 7:30 p.m. Friday, the two robbery suspects fired a bullet inside the MVD Express, 850 St. Michael’s Drive, and struck an employee in the face. Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said in the statement that there were six employees in the store during the robbery, and one customer with a 2-year-old child. Police did not disclose the amount of cash stolen from the store.

The suspects — one described as 5-foot-11 and about 230 pounds, and wearing a black hoodie and black mask, and the other about 5-foot-8 and 140 pounds, and wearing a black jacket and a black ski mask — closely resemble the suspects in a robbery Tuesday at an Airport Road Dollar Mart, police said.

The suspects in Friday’s robbery also were carrying weapons similar to those wielded by the Dollar Mart robbers: a black handgun and a silver revolver.

Santa Fe police issued a statement earlier Friday saying a cashier at the store was held at gunpoint New Year’s Eve as two armed men — one wearing a demon mask and the other wearing a bandanna across his face — stole an undisclosed amount of cash and left a couple of bullet holes in the business’s wall and ceiling.

Store surveillance video of the incident, which also was released by Santa Fe police on Friday, shows the two armed suspects entering Dollar Mart, in the 4300 block of Airport Road, and threatening the female cashier. According to a police department news release, the woman said one of the suspects shot a round into the store’s ceiling because she didn’t believe they were actually going to rob her. She was the only person at the store when the robbery occurred at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Police are asking the public to help identify the two suspects, as well as a third man who was seen driving a 1990 black Dodge Dakota that served as the getaway vehicle. The pickup had an extended cab with a gray line on the lower door panels, tinted windows and a loud exhaust, police said.

The suspect wearing the Halloween mask was described as a heavy-set male wearing a dark blue Old Navy hoodie and gray running pants. Police said he was brandishing a small, silver gun that was possibly a revolver.

The other suspect, described as a thin, muscular man, was wearing a white bandanna across his face, sunglasses and a green beanie-type cap. He was wielding a black handgun. The cashier said he wore a dark gray pants, a black long-sleeve shirt and black skeleton-print gloves.

The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — A state legislator wants New Mexico voters to decide whether to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana.

Democratic Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino of Albuquerque said he plans legislation for a constitutional amendment for marijuana legalization.

Ortiz y Pino says his proposal would take an approach on use of marijuana similar to what is done with alcohol and that it will be modeled after a referendum that Colorado voters approved in 2012.

If approved by New Mexico legislators, the legalization proposal would go on the state’s November general election ballot.

“I think the argument we’ll make is that this is basically an opportunity for the public to decide if they want to do it,” Ortiz y Pino said. “If they don’t [vote for it], we go back to the drawing board.”

If voters end up approving the proposal, lawmakers in 2015 could consider specifics on how marijuana might be sold, taxed and regulated in New Mexico, Ortiz y Pino said.

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez opposes drug legalization, but constitutional amendment proposals go straight from the Legislature to the ballot.

“As a prosecutor and district attorney, the governor has seen firsthand how illegal drug use destroys lives, especially among our youth, and she opposes drug legalization or decriminalization efforts,” spokesman Enrique Knell said in a statement.

Knell called the proposal an effort to increase liberal voter turnout in the November election, when Martinez will be seeking re-election.

A Republican legislative leader, House Minority Leader Nate Gentry, said this year’s 30-day legislative session is too brief for adequate consideration of the issue.

“I don’t think it moves,” Gentry said. “It’s something that needs to be considered in a very thoughtful way, not by willy-nilly amending the constitution.”

House Majority Whip Antonio “Moe” Maestas said House members could support a legalization measure because public opinion in favor of legalization has grown over the past year.

“There’s going to be those members that just can’t overcome prior prejudices, they can’t overcome their own hatred of drug use or drug users, but we all know that prohibition doesn’t work,” Maestas said.

Dog owner cited before Rottweilers mauled boy, 12, in Ranchos de Taos

By Andrew Oxford The Taos News

TAOS — A walk to a friend’s house Dec. 26 led to a helicopter flight to an Albuquerque hospital and 37 stitches in the arms, legs and throat for a 12-year-old Ranchos de Taos boy who was mauled by two dogs, Sheriff Miguel Romero said.

The boy, who has not been publicly identified pending the completion of a police report, was reportedly walking down a driveway shared by the dogs’ owner, Carl Velarde, and another residence when he was attacked by the pair of Rottweilers.

This was not officers’ first encounter with Velarde’s Rottweilers. Velarde, 41, of Ranchos de Taos was cited March 20 after his dogs allegedly attacked another animal on a neighbor’s property.

The shared driveway off Camino Abajo de la Loma West was inside the boundary of an “underground fence” for the Rottweilers, the sheriff said, noting that the shock collars worn by each dog had been inspected by animal control officers on a previous occasion.

But the shock collars did nothing to protect people or other animals on the shared driveway.

A neighbor who heard the boy’s screams saved him, Romero said, adding that the woman chased away the two dogs and called for help.

The boy was flown to University Hospital in Albuquerque, where he was recovering and undergoing physical therapy, the sheriff said Monday. The boy was expected to be discharged by the middle of the week.

Animal control officers issued Velarde two citations after the incident. The dog owner was cited for violations of county codes regarding dangerous animals and animals biting a person. Both offenses are petty misdemeanors.

Following the March 20 incident, Velarde entered a plea of not guilty in Taos County Magistrate Court, and a pretrial hearing was scheduled June 13. That hearing was rescheduled June 17 and again July 16 due to prior obligations on the part of both the defense and prosecution.

The charges were dismissed without prejudice at the July 16 hearing. Judge Jeff Shannon noted in court documents that the animal control officer who issued the citations failed to appear at the hearing.

After the Dec. 26 incident, the Rottweilers were immediately taken into custody by the sheriff’s department.

Court records indicate Velarde relinquished ownership of the canines. County attorneys won a motion in Magistrate Court Dec. 27 to have the dogs euthanized.

NMSU launches literacy project

Santa Fe County is asking residents to provide input at a town-hall meeting on the old First District courthouse, located on Catron Street. The public meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the County Commission chambers, 102 Grant Ave. The old courthouse building was vacated in 2013 after Santa Fe County completed the new Judge Steve Herrera Judicial Complex on Montezuma Avenue.

The town hall will feature a short presentation outlining potential uses for the building, followed by an opportunity for the public to provide input.

One option is to develop the site with a one-stop county administrative building.

Another option involves creating a one-stop county campus outside the downtown area and selling the courthouse.

Residents can also provide input by filling out a fivequestion survey online. To access the survey, visit www. santafecountynm.gov and click on the link “Santa Fe County

formances of the Indians we’d admired earlier in the parade.

Perhaps because I was so young, vivid images of what I had witnessed that day have stayed with me over the years that have since passed.

Moreover, I quite likely realized, however dimly, that the pictures I was relishing could not possibly last. And they didn’t.

Within a decade, the Navajos had swapped their wagons for pickups. The wonderful wheelwright shop closed and was torn down. And the ceremonial grounds were moved to Red Rock State Park some miles east of Gallup.

In truth, the updated InterTribal Indian Ceremonial is a splendid and well-organized attraction. For me, though, it doesn’t quite match the luster of my boyhood memory.

were Indian cowboys on horseback, rodeo participants all, and then came a line of costumed dancers from more than 20 tribes.

My vote for the most outstanding feature of the parade was the long train of Navajo covered wagons that rolled past, one after the other, bringing up the rear. Never before or since have I seen so many authentic wagons actually in use by their owners.

Later, walking a few blocks north of downtown to the Indian campground, we passed a large wheelwright and blacksmith shop. Here, the Navajos would get wagon repairs while in town. My eyes bugged out as I took a quick look at the well-stocked shop interior that included an ample supply of wooden wheel spokes, felloes and hubs, along with iron tires.

At the campground, wagons were still arriving from every direction and finding their places. The town provided firewood, water, horse feed and one meal a day for each Navajo family, all free. The bustling activity resembled a scene snatched from the 19th century.

At one end of the grounds, stood the State Armory that hosted an Indian craft show.

There, I first watched the creation of a Navajo sand painting and had my first Hopi piki, or “paper bread,” made of cornmeal and wood ashes.

Emotions move us in same places, study says

EPA moves to regulate new wood stoves

By Melissa Healy Los Angeles Times

By Lenny Bernstein The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency moved Friday to curb emissions of particles and other gases from residential wood stoves and other wood-fired heaters built in 2015 or later, an effort to combat pollutants that can present a significant health hazard in parts of the country.

The proposed new rules would require manufacturers of wood stoves, wood pellet stoves, forced-air wood furnaces, wood boilers, fireplace inserts and masonry heaters to build a generation of devices that burn 80 percent more cleanly than current models. The rules would go into effect in 2015 and become more strict after five years, though the EPA is asking whether they should be phased in over eight years instead.

The new rules do not apply to wood heaters already in use or to residential fireplaces, backyard fire containers or fire pits used by campers and beachgoers. Nor do they apply to smokers, wood-fired barbecues or pizza ovens.

“Particulate matter is a big health issue,” said Alison Davis, an EPA senior adviser. It has been linked to heart attacks and strokes and can aggravate asthma. A number of studies have linked it to premature death among people who suffer from heart and lung disease, she said.

Other pollutants in wood smoke include carbon monoxide and organic compounds that contribute to smog.

Some 11.5 million U.S. homes use wood for heat, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The EPA estimates that 85,695 wood stoves will be manufactured and sold in 2015.

In places where wood is commonly used for heat, communities are occasionally forced to issue mandatory or voluntary “no-burn” alerts when the concentration of particles in the air becomes too high. Utah banned the use of woodburning stoves in five counties last month when weather conditions led to high levels of fine particles in the air. Wood also is a popular heat source in parts of New England, the upper Midwest and the Northwest.

Clean air and lung health advocates cheered Friday’s proposal. “This is a very important step towards protecting public health, particularly in areas where residential wood burning is widespread,” said Frank O’Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch, a nonprofit advocacy group. The American Lung Association said it welcomed the proposed new standards, and both organizations noted that it comes many years after the EPA was required to update the original 1988 standards for some wood stoves in 1996. The delay led to lawsuits by a variety of groups.

Devices other than wood stoves would be regulated for the first time under the EPA’s new proposal.

‘Ocean sprawl’ threatens Earth’s water resources E/The Environmental Magazine

Question: I recently heard the term “ocean sprawl,” which was a new one to me. We all know “sprawl” as it manifests itself above sea level. But in the oceans?

Can you explain?

Bill Chadwick, Nantucket, Mass.

Answer: We are all familiar with “urban sprawl,” the uncontrolled spread of urban development into areas beyond the city.

But environmentalists warn that the next frontier in sprawl is on the high seas, where the proliferation of fishing, shipping, tourism, resource extraction, energy development, military exercises and other human activity has begun to call into question just how vast our oceans really are.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, our oceans are already under siege from problems like pollution, overfishing and acidification, and increased industrial activity offshore — leading to so-called “ocean sprawl” — will jeopardize the food, jobs and recreation we have come to depend on the oceans to provide. It’s hard to believe, given how much planning goes into various types of development and human activity on land, that the oceans are still like the Wild West — with various entities staking claims on huge stretches of open water for different purposes.

A promising approach to combat ocean sprawl is called coastal and marine spatial planning, a form of zoning for the seas to help define who can do what and where.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the federal agency charged with predicting changes in climate, weather, oceans and coasts, says coastal and marine spatial planning “identifies areas most suitable for various types or classes of activities in order to reduce conflicts among uses, reduce environmental

impacts, facilitate compatible uses and preserve critical ecosystem services to meet economic, environmental, security and social objectives.

“Marine planning places sound science and the best available information at the heart of decision-making and brings federal, state, tribal and other partners together to cooperatively develop coastal and marine spatial plans,” continues NOAA. “This process is designed to decrease user conflict, improve planning and regulatory efficiencies, decrease associated costs and delays, engage affected communities and stakeholders, and preserve critical ecosystem functions and services.”

President Barack Obama’s 2010 National Ocean Policy directs NOAA and other federal agencies to work with ocean users, industries and coastal communities on ways to implement coastal and marine spatial planning in America’s offshore waters to prevent ocean sprawl at home while setting an example for other nations around the world. Nine regional planning bodies are currently tasked with developing detailed plans for their own regions by early 2015, at which point federal policymakers will begin to coordinate implementation.

In response to momentum on coastal and marine spatial planning, a coalition of industries including offshore energy, shipping, fisheries, recreation, mining and others formed the World Ocean Council to have a say in how and where marine spatial planning is implemented. The group organized a National Business Forum on Marine Spatial Planning in 2011 and will take part in a World Ocean Summit next month in San Francisco.

The clenched-fist, hair-on-fire feeling you get when gripped by anger, the warm-all-over sensation of happiness, the bilious wave that gnaws at your throat with disgust — these are the cues the body sends up to ready the mind for what comes next: fighting, hugging or withdrawal. And they appear to vary little across cultures, says a new study, which draws a detailed map of emotions and the distinct bodily sensations that accompany them.

The corporal topography of emotion is likely to have evolved over millions of generations, and even if the mind isn’t listening, those somatosensory cues make sense: With anger, fear or surprise, our heartbeat picks up in readiness for flight or fight, and so our chest feels tight. The muscles in our arms and legs feel clenched in anger, but in sadness, they feel limp. Happiness spreads its warmth even across the hips and genitals, but those areas typically go cold when we feel sad, angry or disgusted.

Writing in the journal PNAS, researchers in Finland report that across five different experiments ranging in size from 32 to 305 subjects, participants linked seven different emotions with the same somatosensory experiences with such consistency, it could not be a matter of chance.

The pairings they made were consistent whether they were asked to react to emotionally suggestive words or to read short stories and view films that conjured strong emotional responses.

Even when viewing photographs of a person’s face conveying a specific emotion, subjects drew maps of that person’s likely feelings that were consistently similar.

The pairings of emotion and accompanying sensation also transcended language: Participants were Northern Europeans who were either Finnish or Swedish speakers and Taiwanese individuals whose native tongue is Hokkein, one of a family of Chinese languages. Even across the linguistic barriers, there was 70 percent agreement among participants on where in the body emotions are felt.

With more complex emotions — pride, shame, envy, depression, contempt, anxiety and love — the study’s participants did not draw somatosensory maps with as much overlap. But they were still similar enough to beat chance.

Studies of emotional processing that have used brain scans also suggest that we link distinct bodily sensations with certain emotions, and do so consistently — and perhaps that there is overlap between the neural circuits of emotion and the personal body map each of us has in our sensory cortex.

The authors of the study, led by Lauri Nummenmaa of Aalto University’s School of Science in Espoo, Finland, suggest that people with emotional processing difficulties stemming, say, from anxiety, depression or psychopathy, may also “feel” their emotions in places different from those in good mental health. “Topographical changes in emotion-triggered sensations in the body could thus provide a novel biomarker for emotional disorders,” they write.

Researchers are working with different types of grasses and other cellulosic plant material, learning more about what it’s going to take to grow our own fuel. In the first of a series of stories about the biofuel revolution, host Bruce Burkhardt takes us to the front lines, where farmers grow switchgrass, sorghum and miscanthus specifically as renewable fuel sources. Unlike most wilderness areas that are remote and hard to access, the San Gabriel Mountains are within easy reach of the Los Angeles urban sprawl. Many students in the frontier-like setting of Kanab, Utah, are from families who have been in the region for generations, but some are learning for the first time the importance of protecting native plants, tackling invasive species and coming up with a balance for the human needs of farming and raising livestock. Western wildfires can move swiftly and leave massive destruction, and after a fire, researchers have to move quickly to begin the restoration of water and wildlife in these ecosystems. Some powerful new tools, however, are making their job a little easier.

While the tools of the murderer’s trade multiplied as the pace of industrial innovation increased, the scientific knowledge (and the political will) to detect and prevent the crimes lagged behind. All this changed in 1918, when New York City hired its first scientifically trained medical examiner, Charles Norris.

Jarvis has recruited five of the world’s toughest explorers to wear 1914 clothes, eat basic rations and sail in a perfect replica of the tiny wooden boat Shackleton traveled in. They launch from Elephant Island, Antarctica, and soon are hit by a fierce storm.

As the crew battle freezing temperatures, a leaking boat and seasickness, they lose all contact with their tracking vessel and suddenly find themselves lost at sea.

Time and time again, they erupt and poison the rivers. Scientists have only just begun to piece together what might have happened nearly 2,000 years ago, when one race of salmon faced the death

of their natal river and were forced back to the open ocean on an exceptional adventure.

Navigating between the sulphurous waters, bears, sharks and eagles, the fish escaped the planet’s wrath to give birth to descendants that continue their pioneering journey to the heart of an active volcano.

This American Land: ‘Precious Sierra Water, Nevada Wilderness, Colorado Watershed, Ice Cores’ 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11 Climate change portends less snowfall in the Sierras, and that means less water in California’s Sacramento and San Joaquin watersheds, two of the nation’s most important and sensitive estuary systems. In the dry, harsh landscape of Nevada, most people see only a wasteland without much value except as a site for gold and silver mines. But now a growing number people are beginning to appreciate the sustainable value of these lands as destinations for outdoor recreation.

In Colorado, the Hermosa Creek Watershed north of Durango encompasses one of the state’s largest, biologically diverse forests, including some of the biggest stands of old-growth ponderosa pine remaining in the San Juan Mountains. Most of the watershed is roadless and generally unblemished by past human activities, so it’s an ideal home for native Colorado River cutthroat trout, rare Canada lynx, and vast herds of deer and elk that draw thousands of hunters annually.

Ice cores may be the closest things scientists have to a time machine. They provide remarkably accurate details about the environment from tens of thousands of years ago, and they can help researchers look into the future of the changing climate on our planet.

Understanding the

PLASTISPHERE Scientists trying to determine impact of man-made ecosystem

By Louis Sahagun Los Angeles Times

OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO lizabeth Lopez maneuvered a massive steel claw over the side of a 134-foot sailboat and guided its descent through swaying kelp and schools of fish 10 miles off the coast of San Diego. She was hoping to catch pieces of a mysterious marine ecosystem that scientists are calling the plastisphere.

It starts with particles of degraded plastic no bigger than grains of salt. Bacteria take up residence on those tiny pieces of trash. Then single-celled animals feed on the bacteria, and larger predators feed on them.

“We’ve created a new man-made ecosystem of plastic debris,” said Lopez, a graduate student at the University of San Diego, during the recent expedition.

The plastisphere was six decades in the making. It’s a product of the discarded plastic — flip-flops, margarine tubs, toys, toothbrushes — that gets swept from urban sewer systems and river channels into the sea.

When that debris washes into the ocean, it breaks down into bits that are colonized by microscopic organisms scientists are just beginning to understand. Researchers suspect some of the denizens may be pathogens hitching long-distance rides on floating junk.

Scientists also fear that creatures in the plastisphere break down chunks of polyethylene and polypropylene so completely that dangerous chemicals percolate into the environment.

“This is an issue of great concern,” said Tracy Mincer, a marine geochemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. “Microbes may be greatly accelerating the weathering of plastic debris into finer bits. If so, we aren’t sure how zooplankton and other small creatures are responding to that, or whether harmful additives, pigments, plasticizers, flame retardants and other toxic compounds are leaching into the water.”

About 245 million tons of plastic is produced annually around the world, according to industry estimates. That represents 70 pounds of plastic annually for each of the 7.1 billion people on the planet, scientists say.

The waste gathers in vast oval-shaped ocean “garbage patches” formed by converging currents and winds. Once trapped in these cyclonic dead zones, plastic particles may persist for centuries.

The physiological effects of visible plastic debris on the fish, birds, turtles and marine mammals that ingest it are well-documented: clogged intestines, suffocation, loss of vital nutrients, starvation.

The effects of the minuscule pieces that make up the plastisphere are only beginning to be understood.

Edward Carpenter, a professor of microbial

ecology at San Francisco State University, first reported that microbes could attach themselves to plastic particles adrift at sea in 1972. He observed that these particles enabled the growth of algae and probably bacteria and speculated that hazardous chemicals showing up in ocean animals may have leached out of bits of plastic.

Carpenter’s discovery went largely unnoticed for decades. But now, the scientific effort to understand how the plastisphere influences the ocean environment has become a vibrant field of study. From Woods Hole to the University of Hawaii, scientists are collecting seawater and marine life so they can analyze the types, sizes and chemical compositions of the plastic fragments they contain. Their findings are shedding new light on the ramifications of humanity’s addiction to plastic.

“We’re changing the basic rhythms of life in the world’s oceans, and we need to understand the consequences of that,” said marine biologist Miriam Goldstein, who earned her doctorate at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography by studying plastic debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch between Hawaii and California.

In October, Goldstein and oceanographer Deb Goodwin of the Sea Education Association in Woods Hole reported that one-third of the gooseneck barnacles they collected from the garbage patch had plastic particles in their guts. The typical fragment was not much bigger than a piece of glitter, according to their report in the journal PeerJ. Some of the barnacles had bits of plastic in their fecal pellets, too. That finding led Goldstein to speculate that some of the 256 barnacles that were plastic-free when they were captured by researchers had probably eaten plastic at some point in their lives but cleared it from their systems.

Since crabs prey on barnacles, the plastic the barnacles eat may be spreading through the food web, Goldstein and Goodwin said.

Fish that ingest plastic debris tend to accumulate hazardous substances in their bodies and suffer from liver toxicity, according to a study published in the journal Scientific

Reports. Not only was the plastic itself dangerous, so were the toxic chemicals the plastic had absorbed.

The plastisphere isn’t limited to oceans.

In 2012, a team of researchers discovered microplastic pollution in the Great Lakes — including high volumes of “microbeads” used in facial cleansers.

Other scientists, including Mincer of the Woods Hole institution and microbial ecologist Erik Zettler of the Sea Education Association, spent three years coming up with the first comprehensive description of microbial communities that colonize plastic marine debris.

The researchers used fine-scale nets to skim plastic particles from more than 100 locations in the Atlantic Ocean, from Massachusetts to the Caribbean Sea. Using scanning electron microscopes and gene-sequencing techniques, they identified more than 1,000 different types of bacteria and algae attached to seaborne plastic, according to their report in June in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

Of particular concern was a sample of polypropylene not much larger than the head of a pin. Its surface was dominated by members of the genus Vibrio, which includes the bacteria that cause cholera and other gastrointestinal ailments. These potential pathogens could travel long distances by attaching themselves to plastic debris that persists much longer than biodegradable flotsam like feathers and wood.

The team is now comparing microbial communities on plastic debris collected in the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans, trying to understand the bacteria that feed on their waste products, and predators that feed on all of them.

Meanwhile, in San Diego, Lopez and her colleagues are examining the samples they collected under powerful microscopes and removing tiny bits of plastic for classification and chemical analysis.

“These microplastic worlds right under our noses are the next ocean frontier,” said Drew Talley, a marine scientist at the University of San Diego. “It would be a crime not to investigate the damage they might be doing to the oceans and to humans.”

We’re changing the basic rhythms of life in the world’s oceans, and we need “ to understand the consequences of that.”

As if the fiery rash and painful blisters of shingles were not punishment enough, the average patient who suffers a resurgence of the dormant chickenpox virus known as herpes zoster — or shingles — has a higher risk of heart attack or mild stroke two decades or more after the blisters and rash recede, says a new study.

For those who suffer a case of shingles between the ages of 18 and 40, the outlook is worse: They’re more than twice as likely to suffer a mild stroke and 50 percent more likely to have a heart attack than those who have not had shingles.

British researchers calculated these increased average risks even after taking account of subjects’ cardiovascular risks, such as smoking, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and worrisome cholesterol readings. In other words, all other things being equal, a case of shingles in your medical history puts you at higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Writing in the journal Neurology, the British authors of the latest report say the findings strengthen the suspicion that once unleashed as shingles, the herpes zoster virus may plant seeds of destruction in some of the body’s blood vessels which could take years to wreak havoc. They suggest that the herpes zoster may be an underappreciated contributor to the incidence of cardiovascular disease in a population. For untold numbers, they suggest, the disease process that ends in a heart attack or stroke may have started with a mild or asymptomatic case of herpes zoster infection.

That would be a particularly sneaky trick for a virus already known for lying in wait for years to attack.

Left behind when an individual is infected with wildtype chickenpox, the herpes zoster virus settles in and eludes detection by the immune system by lying dormant. Typically decades later, when a person who had chickenpox has some dip in immune resistance, the virus travels along a sensory nerve to the skin, where it can replicate and cause painful, burning rashes and blisters. The nerve inflammation it causes can persist for weeks and even months, and for an unlucky few, the resulting nerve damage can bring unrelenting pain.

It’s been known that when the shingles virus travels along the opthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve in the face, and affects the area surrounding an eye, the patient has a nearly five-fold risk of stroke in the year following. But over as many as 23 years, shingles patients followed in the current study had 14 percent more heart attacks and roughly 16 percent more mild strokes than matched subjects who had not had shingles.

The findings raise the possibility that getting the shingles vaccine could for many head off a slide toward cardiovascular disease. But other studies will be needed to test that proposition, the authors acknowledged.

In the meantime, they suggested, the shingles vaccine could be offered to any patients that are at risk of cardiovascular disease in a bid to reduce their risk factors. And patients who’ve had shingles before age 40 might be treated more aggressively to drive down heart attack and stroke risk, and urged to live a hearthealthy lifestyle.

In brief Doctor to address health care issues in library talks Santa Fe physician and author Lawrence Lazarus will share his 40 years of experience helping patients better understand America’s complicated health care system in a pair of talks this month at Santa Fe Public Library’s branches.

In each of the hourlong talks, which are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Jan. 18 at the Main Library and 11 a.m. Jan. 25 at the Southside Branch Library, Lazarus will discuss strategies to best utilize the Affordable Care Act, ways to reduce health care costs, how to find the best physician and end-of-life issues.

Lazarus is the author of Getting the Health Care You Deserve in America’s Broken Health Care System, which details his lifetime of personal and professional experience with patients and offers practical advice about the Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare.” The book explains how to reduce health care costs and overcome psychological barriers to recognizing early signs of illness.

In brief Man pleads guilty to bank robbery An Española man is facing up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to robbing a bank in New Mexico.

Federal prosecutors say 34-year-old Stephen Gurule entered his plea Friday.

He was arrested in October on a criminal complaint charging him with robbing the Community Bank on Sept. 27.

Authorities say a man passed a handwritten note to a bank teller, demanding money.

In early October, the FBI received information that Gurule had confessed to robbing a bank in Española.

The agency compared a driver’s license photograph of Gurule to the robber shown on the bank surveillance video and determined the robber appeared to be Gurule.

Gurule has been in federal custody since his arrest and remains detained pending his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled.

Man gets 30 years for 2013 murder ALAMOGORDO — A 19-year-old Otero County man faces at least 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree felony murder in the January 2013 killing of a Tularosa woman.

Paul N. Reynolds pleaded guilty in state District Court under an agreement with prosecutors in the killing of

63-year-old Rita Gallegos.

The Alamogordo Daily News reported that Reynolds also pleaded guilty to felony taking of a motor vehicle and to felony tampering with evidence in exchange for dismissal of three other charges.

Reynolds is expected to be sentenced later this year.

According to the plea agreement, Reynolds faces a possible maximum life sentence. He will have to serve 30 years in prison before he’s considered eligible for parole.

Reynolds reportedly told investigators he stole Gallegos’ vehicle to settle a debt.

New Mexico’s highest court has upheld a Taos man’s conviction for stabbing his 1-yearold son to death after a domestic dispute with the mother.

Christopher Barney was sentenced to life in prison for the May 2010 death of the infant known as “Baby Landon.”

The state Supreme Court on Monday upheld Barney’s convictions of intentional child abuse resulting in death.

Barney contended a judge wrongly allowed testimony at his trial from the infant’s mother, who was Barney’s girlfriend, that he had hit her in a fight earlier on the night of the baby’s death.

The prosecution had argued that evidence of the fight established a possible motive that Barney killed the baby to get back at the mother.

The Supreme Court concluded that the testimony wasn’t unduly prejudicial.

Prairie dog effort needs perspective

he city has spent some $500,000 to relocate the prairie dogs to new homes? How many hungry, homeless humans would $500,000 feed? I see the homeless on the bench near the edge of the Santa Fe River, hands supporting drooping heads, ragged jackets pulled tight, a Lucky cigarette dangling from a mouth. I see them on the wall below the mural, gathered outside the public library, backpacks and bedrolls piled, in portal corners, while prairie dogs romp and play and chatter in their new homes.

taining the principle in the letter supporting abortion (“A woman’s decision must be hers alone,” Dec. 29), and we could have this message: A woman should have the right to sell her body for sex or use it for any immoral or perverse purpose.

“That said, there are times when a woman needs to make a decision to prostitute her body (terminate a pregnancy), for reasons known only to her, and which are none of your business, my business or anyone else’s. Whether they are for

social, economic or emotional reasons does not concern anyone but the woman whose body it is. No one should be forced to be chaste (a gestational oven), losing control of her body for financial gain (at conception and regaining it at delivery.)”

his year marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of the First World War, or the Great War, as it was known later. It was the war that shattered the stable world of the 19th century and prepared the way for the Second World War. But it was also the greatest literary war of the 20th century, with all due respect to Tom Brokaw’s “greatest generation” and World War II. Its poetry in particular was remarkable.

The dean of those Bill Stewart poets is now generally considered to Understanding be Wilfred Own, the Your World British soldier killed only days before the end of the war. But there were other great poets, to include Rupert Brooke, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Sigfried Sassoon, Ivor Gurney, D.H. Lawrence, Charles Hamilton Sorley and, of course, John McCrae, the opening lines of whose poem, “In Flanders Fields,” is quoted above.

In addition, there were extraordinary novelists, the greatest of whom is almost certainly Erich Maria Remarque, the German army veteran, whose All Quiet on the Western Front is perhaps the most harrowing war novel ever written. Though first published in 1929, it remains the definitive war novel of the 20th century.

It was riveting then; it is equally riveting now. And we still sing some of the popular songs of that era: “There’s a Long, Long Trail A Winding”; “Pack Up Your Troubles”; “Roses of Picardy”; and “Keep

ANOTHER VIEW

Jane Whitmore, Psy.D.

In your “How they voted” reporting recently — and I’ve hesitated to draw attention to it because I don’t want it to be construed as support for the other political party — both our senators voted for the National Defense Authorization Act. This $609 billion vote ties the millstone of unnecessary militarism and other pernicious amendments ever more securely around the necks of Americans. To go with austerity at home, we have abundance for dominion. A quick look at history shows that all empires have foundered on these rocks. Not some of them — all of them.

Even a nation as resilient and resourceful and hopeful as the United States cannot survive knuckle-headed expenditures, secrecy and attempts at domination for much longer.

The coming tax deadline is a convenient time to reflect on how our money is spent by our representatives and how we would like it spent.

It is not entirely certain why such a literary explosion took place in the trenches of France and Belgium. the Home Fires Burning.”

It is not entirely certain why such a literary explosion took place in the trenches of France and Belgium amid the deadly roar of the howizters, the mortars, the machine guns and gas attacks. Perhaps because the world had never before seen such killing and under such appalling conditions: 1 million French dead; another million Germans dead; 700,000 British dead and 117,000 Americans dead.

Europe lost the flower of its youth and never quite recovered. The moral center of French, German and Italian life was destroyed, while Britain felt hollowed out.

If great literature arises out of great tragedy, then the writers of that era found a natural home in that terrible war. Perhaps that is why so many great American writers have been Southerners; the Civil War cut a terrible swath across the American South, and people had to remake their lives amid the harsh realities of defeat. It marked the South then, and to a certain extent, the scars never disappeared.

In any event, it behooves us all to remember that a defeated and humiliated Germany turned to the Nazis for leadership in the 1930s, even though World War I was not fought on German soil.

Adolph Hitler subsequently brought us World War II. The Soviet Union was built on the World War I ruins of Czarist Russia, and a victorious Moscow in 1945 brought us the reality of the Cold War. In the aftermath of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the

British and the French divided up the Middle East into new and largely artificial nations. That act of arrogant imperialism bedevils us still. There were also acts of idealism, like the creation of the League of Nations, supported by President Woodrow Wilson but rejected by the U.S. Senate. Wilson was an idealist contemptuous of lesser minds, especially those in the Senate. That attitude cost him dear. He sailed for Europe in the wake of the war, determined to remake the world with his famous “14 Points” for peace. French Prime Minister Clemenceaux derided the 14 Points, saying “even God only needed 10.” Nevertheless, the inward-looking, isolationist act by the Senate cost us our world leadership and helped to pave the way toward World War II. On the other hand, the creation of the League, based in Geneva, led to the creation of the United Nations which, despite its flaws, remains a force for good.

The fact of the matter was, Europe was exhausted by the war, bled dry, and the U.S. felt cheated, misled by the wily nations of the Old World. American politicians love to identify with Winston Churchill and his anti-appeasement stand in the 1930s. But Europe was a very different place from the U.S. Our World War I casualties were not nearly as extensive as those of the Europeans, and we felt we could hide behind 3,000 miles of ocean. In the end, the Europeans got the war they didn’t want, and the ocean did not save us, after all.

The white crosses and memorials of World War I still stand, row after endless row, in the green fields of France and Belgium. And in between their vast numbers, so many of them unknown but loved by someone, the poppies still blow.

Let us not forget.

Bill Stewart, a former Time magazine correspondent and U.S. Foreign Service officer, writes about current affairs from Santa Fe.

merica’s animals take more drugs than its people do. About 80 percent of the 51 tons of antibiotics consumed each day in the U.S. are used in agriculture and aquaculture.

Such unrestrained use of the drugs may help farmers grow bigger cattle, but it has a drastic side effect: It prods bacteria to evolve defenses, so that the drugs don’t work so well when given to people (or fish or animals, for that matter) suffering from bacterial infections. The loss of these drugs as medical weapons is also astoundingly expensive.

The current stock’s potential to prolong human life is worth upward of $60 trillion, according to a new report in the New England Journal of Medicine.

And so it is welcome news that the authors of that report also have a novel way to protect this pharmaceutical treasure: Impose a fee on all uses of antibiotics outside of human medicine. Their market-based strategy is worth a try.

Using government regulation alone to end the use of antibiotics to boost animal growth has always been a tricky proposition.

The Food and Drug Administration this month asked drug makers to voluntarily relabel agricultural antibiotics so as not to allow it, and by 2017 the agency will require that veterinarians supervise the drugs’ application in livestock. Fully enforcing this new mandate will take careful monitoring. Even then, farmers and their animal doctors will still be able to use antibiotics for the purpose of preventing disease in cows, chickens, fish and so on, rather than to help them grow.

Another strategy, contained in a bill now before Congress, would close the preventive-treatment loophole by gradually banning any use of antibiotics in animals that aren’t already ill or in close contact with infected animals.

But this approach, too, would require a fresh army of veterinarians to monitor use.

And it would bar some arguably legitimate uses of the drugs — for example, to treat animals at the point when they are entering a feedlot and are vulnerable to infections.

The strategy proposed by the economist Aiden Hollis of the University of Calgary and Ziana Ahmed of the University of Toronto would allow farmers or their veterinarians to make their own decisions about whether any particular use of antibiotics is worth paying the price.

That price would include a user fee, assessed at the point of purchase.

Such a fee is analogous to the royalties that timber and petroleum companies pay to use federal lands. In this case, the limited resource is not timber or oil but the effective life span of an antibiotic drug.

Farmers would then have the incentive to use other strategies for promote animal growth — by improving the way the animals are housed or fed, for example — but would still be able to use the drugs when the expense was warranted. Revenue from the user fees could be invested in research and development of new antibiotics.

Keep in mind that drug resistance is a problem for farmers, too; they would benefit as much if not more than the rest of us if antibiotics were used less. And like everyone else, farmers have reason to be concerned at the human toll from antibiotic-resistant infections — more than 2 million cases a year in the U.S., and at least 23,000 deaths. User fees could provide that elusive but necessary incentive to reduce the use of antibiotics on the farm.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 4, 1914: Steamboat Springs, Colo. — Seven members of the United Mine Workers of America, charged with rioting and assault in connection with the Colorado miners’ strike, were sent out of town today by the Routt County Taxpayers’ league. The league then issued a proclamation announcing that every minor in the county must find work or leave.

Jan. 4, 1989: Santa Fe County has lost about $40,000 in interest because thousands of property-tax payments have not been processed, the new county treasurer said. Dealing with the backlog took up the better part of Treasurer Angie Gonzales’ first day on the job. Other new county officials did not face problems of such magnitude. Gonzales, who took office Jan. 1, said $7 million in property-tax payments due Dec. 10 have yet to be deposited. If that money had been invested in 30-day certificates of deposit at 7 percent or 8 percent interest, it could have earned $40,000 for the county general fund, she said.

French comic Dieudonne M’Bala M’Bala looks at a book Blacks in the Nazi Camps by Serge Bile during a statement at La Main d’Or Theater in Paris in 2005. The French interior minister wants the comic banned from the stage for what he says are racist and anti-Semitic performances.

Gesture could get French comic banned ‘Inverted Nazi salute’ goes viral

By Elaine Ganley The Associated Press

PARIS t’s caught on like a dance move — one hand pointing downward, the other touching the shoulder with an arm across the chest. But for many, the gesture popularized by a French comic is hateful and anti-Semitic.

Now, France’s top security official wants to ban him from the stage.

Dieudonne M’Bala M’Bala has a small but faithful following of fans from disparate walks of life. Some are marginalized immigrants from France’s housing projects.

Some are Muslims. Some are even adherents of the far-right.

But Dieudonne’s profile has soared since the gesture, dubbed the quenelle, went viral in recent months.

To Interior Minister Manuel Valls, it is an “inverted Nazi salute.” He is exploring ways to ban gatherings he says threaten public order as a means of keeping the comic from performing.

But Dieudonne, who goes only by his first name, is adamant the quenelle — named for a fish dumpling eaten in some parts of the country — is an anti-establishment sign meaning “shove it.”

Valls’ critics caution that going after the comic has the whiff of a witch-hunt and fear it may endanger a fundamental right to freedom of speech.

The 47-year-old Dieudonne has been convicted more than a half-dozen times for inciting racial hatred or anti-Semitism over the years.

He was most recently convicted last fall for using the word Shoananas, a mash-up of the Hebrew word for Holocaust and the French word for pineapple, seen as making light of the Holocaust.

An investigation also opened this week after Dieudonne allegedly made an anti-Semitic slur toward a Jewish journalist on France-Inter radio. “When I hear him [the journalist] talk, you see … I say to myself gas chambers …

A pity,” Dieudonne said during a performance last month, parts of which were shown on French TV. “I think 2014 will be the year of the quenelle,” Dieudonne said in a video posted this week on YouTube. In that video, Dieudonne also denied

Paul Walker

LOS ANGELES — The Porsche carrying Fast & Furious star Paul Walker may have been going 100 mph or more before it crashed, killing both Walker and the driver, according to a coroner’s report released Friday.

Investigators found no mechanical problems with the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. Roger Rodas, Walker’s friend and financial adviser, was driving the Porsche at an unsafe speed, and witnesses interviewed by deputies estimated it was going 100 mph or more.

No alcohol or drugs were detected in the system of either man on the day of the fiery one-car crash.

The Nov. 30 deaths were ruled accidents the report said. It said both men were burned over 100 percent of their bodies. Walker had broken bones throughout his body including his jaw, arm, ribs and pelvis, the report said.

Rodas, 38, and Walker, 40, co-owned an auto racing team. Rodas also was a professional driver who competed in 10 Pirelli World Challenge GTS races last year.

The accident occurred while Walker was on a break after shooting about half of Fast & Furious 7, the release of which Universal Pictures has now delayed to April 2015.

Co-star Lily Tomlin nearly steals the show as Fey’s mother.

he is anti-Semitic: “There’s a misunderstanding. I don’t say I won’t be one day. I leave that possibility open.”

Soccer star Nicolas Anelka used the quenelle recently to celebrate a goal, and basketball star Tony Parker did it years ago. Both said they did not understand it was an anti-Semitic gesture. But a photo posted on French news sites shows a man doing the quenelle in front of the Jewish school in Toulouse where an Islamic extremist gunned down three children and a rabbi in March 2012. Another showed two soldiers saluting in front of a Paris synagogue.

Sociologist Michel Wieviorka wrote a commentary in Thursday’s Le Monde arguing that Dieudonne’s mixed-bag audience has a common denominator — anti-Semitism.

The hand sign is ambiguous since it so closely resembles a bras d’honneur, a vulgar gesture used in France that is the equivalent of giving the finger.

For the moment, the bid to silence Dieudonne looks like a tug-of-war between the interior minister and the comic.

But Valls is getting support from some cities where shows are to be staged.

The mayor of the eastern city of Nancy, Andre Rossinot, issued a statement Thursday saying that when free expression “transforms into racist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic propaganda there is reason to react.”

Rossinot has asked the state representative to try to ban a Dieudonne appearance there on Jan. 18. Nearby Metz and the southern city of Marseille are also looking for ways to keep him from coming to town.

France has issued bans in the past, directed toward Muslim women with veiled faces and head scarves in classrooms. But never has an entertainer been the object of a blanket ban.

Dieudonne originally rose to fame as part of a comedy duo with the noted Jewish comedian Elie Semoun. The two regularly parodied everyday racism and discrimination in France before they fell out.

Years later, Dieudonne befriended the founder of the far-right National Front party, Jean-Marie Le Pen. Extreme-right expert Sylvain Crepon said he does not see Dieudonne as a major threat to public order. “I think he remains sociologically marginal,” Crepon said.

For Pacheco, it’s the slight limp in her left knee — a sign that her recovery from a torn Mora 63 anterior cruciate ligament is not McCurdy 42 complete even as she plays her fourth game of the season. The Rangerettes’ issues are slow starts that are a sign of a team that might be a little too comfortable with its impressive 8-0 start.

Combined, it shows that Mora is still a work in progress. That will continue into Saturday night’s championship of the Northern Rio Grande Tournament after a less-than-comfortable 63-42 win over McCurdy in the semifinals on Friday in Pojoaque Valley’s Ben Luján Gymnasium.

Mora plays Pecos at 7 p.m. in an All-District 2AA battle for the title.

Boys: Peñasco beats Escalante in overtime

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

JACONA — The Peñasco boys basketball team had a lot to overcome in the second half of its Northern Rio Grande TournaPeñasco 63 ment semifinal game against Escalante 61 Escalante on Friday night. Twelve points, to be exact.

After being down to the Lobos by double digits for the majority of the game, the Panthers came out of nowhere in the fourth quarter and won 63-61 in overtime.

Peñasco (6-4) will play McCurdy in the championship game at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, leaving the Lobos (6-3) to play Mora at 5:30 p.m. for third place.

There were a lot of plays that led the Panther victory, but the defining

Local boxing series returns to Buffalo Thunder

By James Barron The New Mexican

Patrick Holmes doesn’t see one main event to his fight card.

He sees eight.

Trying to capitalize on the success from the first boxing card he and his brother Eric Holmes had at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino in September, Patrick Holmes is putting on another appearance Jan. 24 with a series of bouts he feels would be attractive on their own merits.

“These guys are not undercard fighters,” Patrick Holmes said. “We

B

have an undercard, but we have a bunch of semi-main events with a lot of good talent.”

The co-main events involve Española’s Tony Valdez, who missed out on the World Boxing Council super flyweight belt in the September bouts, fighting Jaime Gutierrez in a flyweight matchup, and Santa Fe’s Brandon Holmes taking on Brandon Muñoz in a super bantamweight fight.

Brandon Holmes, Patrick’s son, is coming off his second knockout in as many professional bouts, including his inaugural fight that was highlighted on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights

last January.

But the undercard has some serious staying power, especially the women’s bout that signals the return of Monica Lovato of Española.

She fights Hondi Hernandez in a junior bantamweight fight. Lovato had been on the MMA circuit for the past four years and has not boxed since 2008.

“She has been anxious at getting back into the ring for a long time,” Patrick Holmes said. “She wanted to come back and see if she still has it and can pull the trigger. She’s done MMA, but I think her heart is in the

square ring.”

The entire card has a local flavor.

Josh Montoya from Santa Fe will take on Pojoaque’s Angelo Sanchez in a junior welterweight bout, while a trio from Albuquerque also dot the card.

Mike Alderete takes on Los Lunas’ Manuel Eastman in a junior welterweight fight, while cruiserweight Angel Leo is pitted against Michael Herrera of Taos.

There also is Michael Gallegos, from Las Vegas, N.M., taking on Matthew Baca in a light welterweight battle.

heer up, Lobos fans.

The real fun starts this afternoon.

With three losses to its credit, The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team has understandably slipped off the radar of college hoops pundits from coast to coast.

Ranked in both major national polls to start the season, the Lobos (9-3) have been relegated to the good-but-notworthy scrap heap as conference play revs up.

And that’s a good thing.

Will Webber Humility good; Commentary overconfidence bad.

If you’re a Lobo fan, take solace in the idea that what people think of your favorite team right now doesn’t matter a bit come March.

Everyone with an affection for cherry and silver knows this. Or they should.

While the rest of the college hoops world toasts its love affair with San Diego State and its lofty 11-1 start, one that includes an impressive 10-point win at Colorado State in the Mountain West opener, UNM is lumped into the same group as UNLV, Boise State and maybe even Utah State as SDSU’s biggest threats.

The Lobos began the season as the beast in that group. With all that talent coming back, they were an easy pick to roll through the MWC like they have done so many times in recent years.

Yes, they’ve had their struggles in nonconference play with good but not great wins. Sure, they stumbled at home against New Mexico State.

Yes, Kansas put a hurtin’ on them in the second half and UMass showed the world that the full court press may be their Kryptonite.

Whether or not UNM wins another MWC regular season or tournament title isn’t the point. If it does, all it means is another ring for the lock box, another blown-up team photo on The Pit concourse, another so-what accomplishment that means nothing come bracket time.

Over the next 18 games between Saturday’s visit from Colorado State and a March 8 trip to SDSU, New Mexico fans should expect the following: u A loss or two at home and at least two more on the road. A 14-4 league mark would be more than enough to land an NCAA at-large bid. u Forward Cameron Bairstow to get even better as the season drags on. Already in remarkable physical condition, he is playing the kind of poise and control that makes him the most dangerous player in the conference. u Center Alex Kirk and guard Hugh Greenwood will continue to struggle with the NCAA’s rules changes, keeping both in foul trouble at inopportune times. If Kirk’s play wanes, so too could Bairstow’s. u Off-guard Deshawn Delaney will show his true promise. Seemingly entrenched in the starting lineup after jumping ahead of Cleveland Thomas for that fifth spot, the rangy junior college transfer will become a solid option for 5 to 10 points per game. u Freshman Cullen Neal will be inconsistent, but when he’s on he’s going to be so on that it’ll make Lobo fans fall in love with him. The more he shoots, the more he’ll shine.

So when the curtain goes up for Saturday’s MWC debut, embrace the role of being overlooked and ignored by the national media. That’s exactly the way UNM denizens should want it.

SPORTS

Burn: Mora can’t afford slow start vs. Pecos The Lady Panthers used pressure to wear down Peñasco (4-6) in the second half, as they outscored them 35-14 after holding just a 21-17 lead at the half.

They also had a balanced attack, with eight players scoring after the break. The key contributors were Ida Valencia, who had eight of her 17 points after the break, while Cassie CdeBaca had six of her 13.

Pecos head coach Leroy Barela said his team has matured on the court, and Valencia in particular. She recognizes that she has teammates who can take some of the scoring load off of her shoulders.

“She wants the ball now, so she can find those cutters and get them the ball,” Barela said.

“These girls are learning how the play the game together and compete together.”

In the consolation bracket:

Continued from Page B-1 revealed something to his team in the fourth quarter. As Pacheco missed the first of two free throws, Cassidy let out a proclamation of the night.

“The [head] coach from Cuba is watching,” Cassidy said. “You ladies aren’t showing him much.”

And this team is ranked No. 1 in Class AA, according to the latest MaxPreps. com rankings. It’s a team with top-ranked material, but not playing like it at the moment.

Some of that is a product of reintroducing Pacheco into the rotation after she was cleared to play in mid-December.

“We just gotta rebuild that chemistry right now,” senior wing Gerty Herrera said. “We’ll get there, though.”

Also complicating matters was a 12-day layoff after beating Santa Rosa on Dec. 20. The first two games of the tournament showed that the Rangerettes were rusty from the layoff. McCurdy (4-4) used that to its advantage, as it stayed within 15-11 after a quarter and 21-16 early on the second on Alannah Sanchez’s 3-pointer with 5:57 left.

It was pretty clear the Lady Bobcats were not going to repeat their 55-15 loss to Mora on Dec. 3.

“McCurdy battled, and I got to give them a lot of credit,” Cassidy said. “They outhustled us at times, and our girls, kind of turn it on when they need to or when they want to. They can’t do that against Pecos.

They are playing very well right now.

Mora finally took control with a 13-3 run in the third quarter that upped a 35-28 lead to 48-31 after Shantae Rivera’s two free throws at the 3:22 mark.

Pacheco finished with just six points, but she had 13 rebounds and four steals as she adhered to a tenet Cassidy preaches.

“My mentality is that you

can always play defense and rebound,” Pacheco said. “There are other ways of contributing because this sport is very versatile. It’s not just offense.

Defense wins games.”

Pacheco said she feels that she is working her way toward being the key contributor she was last year, but is learning to listen to what her body is telling her — especially her knee.

Right now, it tells her she’s not as fast as she was last year, nor does she have the lift on her

shot yet.

“They told me when I got out of physical therapy, you can’t expect to go out there and be 100 percent,” Pacheco said.

“You have to take it gradually, and that is what I am building up to.”

The Rangerettes recognize that a slow start against Pecos (4-4) might have more severe consequences. Pecos showed that it is stronger, quicker and more confident than what Mora encountered last winter.

DULCE 53, CORONADO 33 The Lady Hawks (5-6) took a 33-15 lead at the half and never looked back as they moved to the fifth-place game at 1 p.m. against Mesa Vista. Jae Vigil led the way with 15 points for Dulce, Angel Martinez paced the Lady Leopards with 11 points, but just four after the half.

Coronado (2-9) plays Escalante for seventh place at 10 a.m.

MESA VISTA 51, ESCALANTE 36 The Lady Trojans (7-3) erased a 22-13 halftime deficit by outscoring the Lady Lobos 38-14 in the second half to advance to the consolation championship.

The duo of Abby Griego and Selena Siquieros led the comeback. Siquieros had 18 points after the break and finished with 19 overall, while Griego had nine of her 13 in the second half.

Mesa Vista outscored Escalante 23-8 in the fourth quarter to break a 28-all tie.

Alex Marquez scored 13 points to lead the Lady Lobos (3-4).

Peñasco: Fernandez hits 25-foot 3-pointer Continued from Page B-1 one was a long 3-pointer from senior guard Kyle Fernandez with 11 seconds left in the overtime period that gave Peñasco a 62-61 lead.

While most coaches would be pulling their hair out over how far Fernandez shot from — roughly 25 feet — first-year Peñasco head coach Tom Shields was more than OK with the decision.

“That’s his shot,” Shields said. “He’s got great length and I wasn’t upset with that at all. As a matter of fact, he hasn’t been taking enough of them.”

It also helps that Fernandez knew he was going to make the shot once it left his hands.

“That’s my range,” Fernandez said.

“Once I took it, I knew it was going to go in.”

Fernandez may have been the hero in the end, but he was nearly the goat at the conclusion of the fourth quarter. He missed two free throws with the game tied at 55 with 1:10 left and he, as well as teammate Alex Gonzales, were sure it was the end.

“When he missed those two free throws, I really thought it was over,” Gonzales said.

“I thought [Escalante] was going to score on the next possession.”

“I was just thinking that we had to get a

stop and get the ball back again,” Fernandez added.

The Panthers ended up being OK as the game remained tied at 55 until the end of regulation, but they were helped out tremendously when 6-foot-6 Escalante post Adam Edwards left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.

Edwards’ departure allowed the Panthers to attack the basket with more confidence.

“His sheer size allows him to alter shots,” Escalante head coach Bill Rossum said. “People automatically alter shots because they don’t want to get blocked.”

Once Edwards left, Gonzales scored back-to-back layups to pull the Lobo lead to 51-50 with 3:26 left in the fourth quarter.

Gonzales also finished with a game-high 25 points.

“He’s a go-to guy,” Shields said. “He really turned it up.”

The Panthers may have shined in the final quarter, but they did anything but in the first half. They only made two field goals in the first quarter and went into the locker room at halftime down 30-18.

“I’m still trying to figure out our start,” Shields said. “We start strong at home and we have not started well on the road.

That’s on coaching, I have to find out.”

As for Shields’ thoughts on the championship game against McCurdy, he had only

a few words to offer.

“We’re just happy to be playing,” he said.

MCCURDY 64, MORA 52 The Bobcats (10-3) overcame a 29-25 halftime deficit to beat the Rangers (4-7) and advance to the championship game against Peñasco.

By the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats turned the tables and had a 45-36 lead.

Daniel Arroyo led the Bobcats with 19 points while Jeremiah Olivas paced the Rangers with 16 points.

MESA VISTA 65, CORONADO 47 The Trojans had a 40-21 at halftime and didn’t let the Leopards get within single digits the rest of the way.

Mesa Vista (2-4) will play Dulce for fifth place at 2:30 p.m. and the Leopards (3-4) will play Pecos for seventh at 11:30 a.m.

Isaac Jaramillo scored 19 points to lead the Trojans while Jason Madrid had a gamehigh 20 points to lead Coronado.

DULCE 46, PECOS 37 The Hawks only scored two points in the opening quarter and were down 19-14 at halftime, but they outscored the Panthers 32-18 in the second half to take control of the game.

Anternee Callado led the Dulce attack with 20 points while Joseph Vigil led Pecos (4-8) with 11 points and was one of only five Panthers to score.

Bengals leaning on defense in playoffs

THE RETURN OF THE ICE BOWL Packers-49ers game draws comparisons to famously frozen ’67 matchup

By Joe Kay

QBs Brees, Foles share history, respect

By Rob Maaddi The Associated Press

The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The Bengals have never taken a defense ranked this highly into the playoffs.

Cincinnati is No. 3 in the NFL in yards allowed heading into its home game Sunday against San Diego, a team that the Bengals throttled only a month ago.

And the defense does a lot more than just dig in. It can score, too.

The defense has been a key component in Cincinnati’s 8-0 record at home. The AFC North champions (11-5) have gotten six interception or fumble returns for touchdowns at Paul Brown Stadium this season.

“We’re not really a gambling defense,” coordinator Mike Zimmer said. “We’re not going to give up big plays trying to get interceptions and run it back for touchdowns.

“Sometimes it’s luck.”

The defense has been Andy Dalton’s best friend all season long, a big reason Cincinnati has piled up 49, 41, 42, 42 and 34 points in the last five home games.

The defense has repeatedly erased the offense’s turnovers by holding opponents to a field goal or less. During a 34-17 win over Baltimore last Sunday, the Ravens managed only three field goals off Dalton’s first three interceptions.

The defense’s all-around impressive play has given it a deep confidence heading into the playoffs.

“We all kind of have a little chip on our shoulder today,” second-year linebacker Vontaze Burfict said.

The Bengals finished with that highly ranked defense in a season when it faced Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford, Andrew Luck, Philip Rivers, Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger.

The Bengals won 17-10 in San Diego on Dec. 1 by forcing two fumbles and an interception.

Rivers was 23 of 37 for 252 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

“We didn’t play our best, but they certainly had a lot to do with that,” Rivers said. “They’re a heck of a team.”

Cincinnati also has gotten through a season without some of its top playmakers on defense, an indication of its depth and Zimmer’s creativity.

Defensive tackle Geno Atkins, who led all interior NFL linemen in sacks last season, tore a knee ligament in the ninth game.

Top cornerback Leon Hall tore an Achilles tendon, and starting cornerback Terence Newman has missed the last three games with a sprained knee.

Burfict has emerged as a Pro Bowl linebacker in his second season, leading the team in tackles.

He also forced a fumble and returned it for a touchdown against the Browns.

Colts try to tamp down pressure for Chiefs game

By Michael Marot The Associated Press

TODAY ON TV

INDIANAPOLIS — Colts coach Chuck Pagano has kept it loose all week.

He’s been cracking jokes, encouraging laughter and trying to put football in perspective. He does not want Saturday’s playoff game to change the routine, so he is imploring the Colts to make this business as usual — even with the Chiefs coming to town for a wild-card game.

“It’s no time to pressure up.

It’s no time to get outside of anything you’ve done at this point,” Pagano said. “You come in, you meet, you have a walkthrough, you practice well and then you play well. Don’t do anything different. Just understand what’s at stake. It is oneand-done. That doesn’t mean go play tight and those types of things and put any added pressure on yourself. You do that and you’re not going to play well.”

u 2:30 p.m. on NBC — Playoffs, wild card game, Kansas City at Indianapolis

Pagano has seen what happens when teams play tight.

So have Colts fans, more times than they care to count.

It’s not easy making a playoff week seem normal.

There are all sorts of potential distractions — ticket requests, travel plans, holiday celebration, even unforeseen medical emergencies. Last year, just before their wild-card game at Baltimore, Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians was hospitalized. Indy managed only three field goals in a 24-9 loss as a bunch of Colts made their postseason debuts; Arians turned out to be OK and wound up getting hired by the Cardinals.

But the Colts’ youngsters learned some key lessons that have helped this time around.

“There can be a little more focus during the week. There can be some more distractions.

That’s where you really need to sort of hunker down,” quarterback Andrew Luck said. “As far as playing the game and practice, we’ve gotten to this point doing some things well. Let’s keep doing those.”

Now, it’s the Chiefs’ turn.

Coach Andy Reid and new general manager John Dorsey followed the same plan Pagano and Ryan Grigson used to rebuild the Colts — new coach, new GM, new quarterback, new roster. Kansas City, like the Colts, went from 2-14 to 11-5 and back to the playoffs with nearly two dozen first- or second-year guys.

A few of the playoff veterans now find themselves explaining to teammates what to expect Saturday.

“I know my first time, I acted like a rookie. I was excited and fumbled the ball twice,” AFC rushing champ Jamaal Charles said.

PHILADELPHIA — Ten years after Drew Brees led Westlake High School to the Texas state championship, Nick Foles came along and broke many of his passing records but couldn’t deliver another title for the Austin-based school.

The two quarterbacks go headto-head for the first time in the NFL with more at stake when Brees and the New Nick Foles Orleans Saints (11-5) visit Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) in an NFC wild-card playoff game Saturday night.

“Drew is a tremendous player. He’s a guy that I’ve looked up to,” Foles said. “He’s a great role model for fellow players, kids and adults. What he does in the community, what he’s done for Louisiana and across the nation, he does a great job of being a good person, helping people in need.

He’s a guy I’ve watched on film and just watched what he’s done and I have a lot of respect for him as a player and a person. I know Westlake is really proud.

“It’s a great place to go to school, great place to grow up.”

Brees watched Foles play once in high school when he returned in 2006 for the 10-year reunion of the Chapparals’ 1996 championship team.

Foles led Westlake to the state championship game that year, only to lose to Southlake Carroll 43-29.

The players hadn’t met each other until the Eagles played at New Orleans last year. Foles was Michael Vick’s backup then.

“I heard a lot about him when he was at Westlake, but there was a 10-year age difference,” Brees said.

“I followed his career. He has been pretty impressive for such a young player, mature beyond his years. I wouldn’t say that I am all that surprised because he is a Westlake guy.

He has played great.”

Brees went to Purdue after Westlake, was drafted by San Diego and ended up in New Orleans, where he’s established himself as one of the NFL’s all-time best quarterbacks.

Brees is an eight-time Pro Bowl pick who just threw for 5,000 yards for the fourth time in his career. No other QB has ever done it more than once.

Brees led the Saints to a Super Bowl victory over Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in February 2010.

He’ll be trying to help them win their first playoff game on the road in six tries when they meet the Eagles.

“When he’s out there, he’s a warrior,” Foles said.

Mathis each drew 49 votes.

Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy and Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman had 48.

Minnesota kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson was the only rookie on the squad.

Eighteen NFC players and nine from the AFC made the team. Carolina and Philadelphia each had three: linebacker Luke Kuechly, center Ryan Kalil and fullback Mike Tolbert for the Panthers; NFL rushing leader McCoy, guard Evan Mathis and tackle Jason Peters for the Eagles.

Only two members of the top teams in each conference made the All-Pro team. Joining Manning from the Broncos (13-3) was guard Louis Vasquez. Joining Sherman from the Seahawks (13-3) was safety Earl Thomas.

Unlike Sherman, many of the players chosen did not enjoy huge team success this season: 12 of the 27 failed to make the playoffs.

No. 9 Mizzou beats No. 13 OSU

By Stephen Hawkins

SEC East champion Missouri (12-2) matched 13 OSU 31 its school record for victories, giving the SEC its 10th win in the last 11 Cotton Bowls — all against the Big 12.

Josey’s go-ahead TD came a play after James Franklin’s 27-yard pass to Dorial Green-Beckham on third-and-9. Franklin, the Missouri quarterback plagued by injuries the last two seasons, had two fumbles earlier in the second half when Oklahoma State (10-3) overcame a 10-point deficit to tie it in just over 3½ minutes.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Henry Josey ran for 92 yards and three touchdowns, the last a 16-yarder with 3:08 left, and No. 9 Missouri beat No. 13 Oklahoma State 41-31 in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night.

The former Big 12 and Big Eight rivals traded points on six consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter, until Oklahoma State quarterback Clint Chelf was sacked and fumbled with a minute left. Defensive lineman Shane Ray picked up the ball and rumbled 76 yards down the sideline in front of the stunned Cowboys bench to score.

State running back bulled through the line for a 2-yard TD run with 5 minutes left to give the Cowboys their only lead of the night. Ray hit Roland immediately at the line, but couldn’t keep him from scoring.

Franklin was only 15 of 40 passing for 174 yards with an interception in the first half.

Chelf threw for 381 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions, completing 33 of 57 passes. He also ran 10 times for 48 yards, including a 23-yard run on thirdand-10 only a few plays before All-SEC defensive end Michael Sam sacked Chelf and knocked the ball loose.

That gave Sam 11½ sacks, the most in the SEC and matching a school record.

Bowl: Clemson last won Orange Bowl in ’82 Continued from Page B-1 caught two scoring passes, plus became Clemson’s career receptions leader and set an Orange Bowl record for yardage.

Martavis Bryant caught two more TD passes for the Tigers, who posted consecutive 11-win seasons for the first time in school history.

“It takes teams to win,” Swinney said. “And listen, we made enough mistakes to probably lose the game tonight. But we kept picking each other up. Our defense was awesome.”

Braxton Miller threw for 234 yards and Carlos Hyde ran for 113 more for Ohio State (12-2), which led 29-20 in the second half but wound up losing its second straight game — after

having won each of its previous 24 under coach Urban Meyer, whose record in Bowl Championship Series games fell to 4-1. Corey Brown had 116 yards receiving for the Buckeyes.

Miller was intercepted twice in the final 3:12, dooming the Buckeyes. Boyd threw an interception to give Ohio State the ball back, but Miller was picked again — Stephone Anthony made the play for the Tigers — and Clemson ran out the clock.

“It’s going to sting for a while, probably a long while because we didn’t finish,” Meyer said. “It was right there.”

The Buckeyes had a 29-20 lead in the third after Hyde picked up 31 yards on 4th-andinches, then went airborne to

break the plane of the goal line on the next play.

“I felt like the offense was starting to get clicking at that point,” Hyde said. “I thought we could make it happen.”

Then the mistakes started coming in bunches for Ohio State. A fumbled punt return and an interception led to touchdown grabs by Watkins and Bryant, putting the Tigers up entering the fourth.

Hyde caught a 14-yard scoring pass from Miller with 11:35 left, giving the Buckeyes a one-point lead, but Clemson and Boyd went on one last scoring march to give the Tigers the BCS win they’ve been seeking for years.

When Clemson played in the Orange Bowl two years ago, the

Tigers gave up 21 points in the final 2:29 of the first half, letting a close game get blown wide open on the way to a 70-33 loss to West Virginia.

End-of-half mistakes cost Clemson again.

Boyd’s 3-yard touchdown pass to Bryant had Ohio State facing a 20-9 deficit, but two scores in a 3½-minute span gave the Buckeyes a 22-20 halftime lead.

Clemson left Jeff Heuerman wide open down the middle for a 57-yard touchdown pass from Miller, making it a one-score game. And on a drive aided by a 15-yard penalty against Clemson’s Darius Robinson, Miller ran in from 3 yards with 12 seconds left to give the Buckeyes their first lead.

New Texas athletic director Steve Patterson, hired in November to replace longtime AD DeLoss Dodds, interviewed Strong this week.

Earlier Friday two other coaches Texas reportedly had interest in — Baylor’s Art Briles and UCLA’s Jim Mora — said publicly they were staying in their current jobs.

Brown stepped down after

four straight seasons that failed to live up to expectations, including this season’s 8-5 record.

Strong had two stints as an assistant at Florida, first under Steve Spurrier and then as defensive coordinator for Urban Meyer’s two national championship teams.

Ogwumike becomes all-time Pac-12 rebounding leader The Associated Press

In Stanford, Calif., Chiney Ogwumike had 33 points and 14 boards to become the Pac-12’s all-time leading rebounder, and No. 4 Stanford beat Oregon in the confer4 Stanford 96 ence Oregon 66 opener for both schools.

Bonnie Samuelson came off the bench to match her career best of six 3-pointers on the way to a career-high 21 points as the Cardinal (12-1, 1-0 Pac-12) kicked off the conference schedule with a dominant win at Maples Pavilion after another impressive preseason.

Ogwumike shot 15 for 19 in her team’s 11th straight win since losing at No. 1 Connecticut on Nov. 11, an unbeaten run that includes a 76-70 victory against then-No. 3 Tennessee on Dec. 21.

MEN NO. 9 BAYLOR 80, SAVANNAH STATE 50 In Waco, Texas, Reserve Taurean Prince scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half, leading No. 9 Baylor to an

80-50 victory over Savannah State on Friday night.

Cory Jefferson had 13 points for Baylor (12-1), and Isaiah Austin and Rico Gathers each scored 11 as Baylor won its 12th consecutive home game.

Joshua Montgomery made four 3-pointers in the first half and scored 15 points for Savannah State (2-12).

Baylor improved to 25-9 in January since 2009-10. The Bears’ only loss this season was to then No. 8 Syracuse in Hawaii in November.

Jefferson hit a 3 — his second of the game and fourth of the season — to give Baylor a 45-28 lead with 1:41 left in the first half, and the Bears led 46-30 at the break.

Both teams struggled after halftime. Baylor scored just five points in the first 5 minutes. Savannah State was held scoreless until Jeremiah Hill’s jumper in the lane with 14:12 left. At that point, Baylor held a 51-32 lead.

Gathers made four consecutive baskets for the Bears in a 3-minute, 21-second span midway through the second half.

After a layup with 13:01 left, he established his position just under the basket on an inbounds play, took the pass from Ish Wainwright and slammed in a quick dunk.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could have the intention of accomplishing certain errands only to toss that idea to the wayside. Tonight: A quiet night at home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH See beyond the obvious. In a discussion, others will share what they really would like to do. Listen well. Tonight: Off with friends and loved ones.

Reader requests ‘Stranger’ reprint Dear Annie: Years ago, Ann Landers published an essay about a woman who sees a stranger in the mirror. Can you reprint it? It’s very apropos to what some of my friends and I are going through. — Northern California Girl Dear Northern California: Here is an edited version of Rose Mula’s piece, copyrighted in 1999. If you would like to read more of Rose’s work, it is available at www.seniorwomen.com.

The Stranger in My House

By Rose Madeline Mula A very weird thing has happened.

A strange old lady has moved into my house. I have no idea who she is, where she came from, or how she got in. I certainly did not invite her.

All I know is that one day, she wasn’t there, and the next day, she was.

She is a clever old lady, and manages to keep out of sight for the most part, but whenever I pass a mirror, I catch a glimpse of her. And whenever I look in the mirror to check my appearance, there she is, hogging the whole thing, completely obliterating my gorgeous face and body. This is very rude. I have tried screaming at her, but she just screams back.

If she insists on hanging around, the least she could do is offer to pay part of the rent, but no. Every once in a while, I find a dollar bill stuck in a coat pocket or some loose change under a sofa cushion, but it is not nearly enough.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but I think she is stealing money from me. I go to the ATM and withdraw $100, and a few days later, it’s all gone. I certainly don’t spend money that fast, so I can only conclude the old lady is pilfering from me.

You’d think she would spend some of that money to buy wrinkle cream.

Lord knows she needs it. And money isn’t the only thing I think she is stealing. Food seems to disappear at an alarming rate — especially the good stuff like ice cream, cookies and candy. I can’t seem to keep that

Hocus Focus

stuff in the house anymore. She must have a real sweet tooth, but she’d better watch it, because she is really packing on the pounds. I suspect she realizes this, and to make herself feel better, she is tampering with my scale to make me think I am putting on weight, too.

For an old lady, she is quite childish. She likes to play nasty games, like going into my closets when I’m not home and altering my clothes so they don’t fit. And she messes with my files and papers so I can’t find anything. This is particularly annoying since I am extremely neat and organized. She also fiddles with my VCR so it does not record what I have carefully and correctly programmed.

She has found other imaginative ways to annoy me. She gets into my mail, newspapers and magazines before I do, and blurs the print so I can’t read it. And she has done something really sinister to the volume controls on my TV, radio and telephone. Now, all I hear are mumbles and whispers.

She has done other things — like make my stairs steeper, my vacuum cleaner heavier and all my knobs and faucets harder to turn. She even made my bed higher so that getting into and out of it is a real challenge.

Lately, she has been fooling with my groceries before I put them away, applying glue to the lids, making it almost impossible for me to open the jars. Is this any way to repay my hospitality?

She has taken the fun out of shopping for clothes. When I try something on, she stands in front of the dressing room mirror and monopolizes it. She looks totally ridiculous in some of those outfits.

Just when I thought she couldn’t get any meaner, she proved me wrong. She came along when I went to get my picture taken for my driver’s license, and just as the camera shutter clicked, she jumped in front of me! No one is going to believe that the picture of that old lady is me.
