Hanna Skandera comes from a family of long-distance runners. “There’s something in us — a certain perseverance,” said her father, Harry Skandera, by phone from Santa Rosa, Calif. “There’s a very strong value in our family — if you believe that something is right, you stick with it.” Hanna Skandera’s perseverance has been tested over and over during her first three years as state secretary-designate of public education for Gov. Susana Martinez. The tumultuous period has been nothing if not a trial of endurance. Skandera has been criticized, insulted and questioned during three days of Senate Rules Committee confirmation hearings, and she has been berated by educators who do not think she understands or respects them. Most of the time, Skandera maintains her composure while flashing a confident smile. Once — in one of those confirmation hearings — she broke down in tears for a few seconds. During a recent Albuquerque-based forum with teachers regarding the new and unpopular teacher-evaluation system, she reportedly lost her cool at least once. But Skandera hasn’t yet given up on her initiatives: the A-F school grading system, teacher evaluations and Gov. Susana Martinez’s socalled social-promotion bill that would hold back third-graders who cannot read at grade level.

WASHINGTON — The chemical spill that contaminated water for hundreds of thousands in West Virginia was only the latest and most high-profile case of coal sullying the nation’s waters. For decades, chemicals and waste from the coal industry have tainted hundreds of waterways and groundwater supplies, spoiling private wells, shutting down fishing and rendering streams virtually lifeless, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal environmental data. But because these contaminants are released gradually and in some cases not tracked or regulated, they attract much

Gov.’s high-profile bills to heat up session By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

oney will not be the only battleground issue when the New Mexico Legislature begins its 30-day session on Tuesday. Two contentious bills will pit Republican Gov. Susana Martinez against majority Democrats for the fourth time in four years. Martinez favors a bill mandating retention of certain third-graders who struggle with reading. She also will push again for the repeal of a 10-year-old law that allows people without proof of immigration status to obtain New Mexico driver’s licenses. She faces a fight from Democratic legislators who say neither of Martinez’s initiatives would improve life in New Mexico. In addition, the most-watched and controversial hearing of the session will focus on one of Martinez’s appointees, Hanna Skandera of the Public Education Department. Skandera has overseen the state’s 830 public

schools since January 2011, but she still has not received a confirmation vote from the Senate Rules Committee or the full 42-member Senate. Martinez has criticized Senate Democrats, especially Rules Committee Chairwoman Linda Lopez, for stalling on Skandera’s confirmation vote. Lopez, D-Albuquerque, also is running for governor. She said in an interview that Skandera will receive a vote this session. Lopez actually began Skandera’s confirmation hearing last year but then recessed it after 10 hours of testimony across three days. A Senate vote on Skandera probably would be close. Democrats control the Senate 25-17. Skandera would need the votes of all the Republicans and at least four Democrats to be confirmed. A 21-21 tie would give Republican Lt. Gov. John Sanchez the deciding vote on her nomination. Driver’s licenses have been a state controversy longer than Skandera has. Republicans say they have the votes to get the driver’s license repeal bill through the House of Representatives, but they are less optimistic

less attention than a massive spill such as the recent one in West Virginia. “I’ve made a career of body counts of dead fish and wildlife made that way from coal,” said Dennis Lemly, a U.S. Forest Service research biologist who has spent decades chronicling the deformities pollution from coal mining has caused in fish. “How many years and how many cases does it take before somebody will step up to the plate and say, ‘Wait a minute, we need to change this’?” The spill of a coal-cleaning chemical into a river in Charleston, W.Va., left 300,000 people without water.

is still trying to close regulatory gaps that have contributed to coal’s legacy of water pollution. From coal mining to the waste created when coal is burned for electricity, pollutants associated with coal have contaminated waterways, wells and lakes with far more insidious and longerlasting contaminants than the chemical that spilled out of a tank farm on the banks of the Elk River. Chief among them are discharges from coal-fired power plants that alone are responsible for 50 percent to 60 percent of all toxic pollution entering the nation’s water, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Thanks to even tougher air pollution

about its prospects after that. “Can it get out of the House? I think so, but as for the Senate, I don’t know,” said Rep. Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque. Bills to repeal the licensing law have twice in three years cleared the House of Representatives, where Democrats still have a 37-33 advantage. Those bills never advanced in the Senate. Last year, Democrats in the House of Representatives stopped the bill in a committee. Gentry then tried but failed to vault the bill through the full House. Martinez in 2010 campaigned hard on the licensing law. She said issuing driver’s licenses to people in the country unlawfully creates security problems and breeds fraud at motor vehicle offices. But Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, said Martinez’s arguments had lost steam, especially because eight other states last year followed New Mexico’s lead by approving laws granting driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.

NATION&WORLD ‘Hustle’ snags SAG top award ‘Breaking Bad’ takes home drama honor By Jake Coyle The Associated Press

David O. Russell’s American Hustle has won the Screen Actors Guild award for outstanding cast, setting up the con-artist comedy as the film to beat at the Academy Awards. The other nominees Saturday night at the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium were 12 Years a Slave, Dallas Buyers Club, August: Osage County and Lee Daniels’ The Butler. Because actors making up the largest branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the SAG Awards are considered one of the most predictive tea leaves of the Oscars. Saturday’s awards were a somewhat low-key affair with a few memorable speeches but no earthquakes in a rapidly solidifying award season. The night’s acting winners — Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club), Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave) and Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) — are each the favorites of their categories. “It really shines a great light on this bull ride we call acting,” said McConaughey, honored for lead actor in the Texas HIV drama. Coming two days after Acad-

ing actor for playing the gaunt transsexual Rayon, alongside McConaughey’s Texas cowboy. He dedicated the award to those who have died of AIDS. The Breaking Bad victory lap continued as the show took honors for outstanding dramatic cast and for lead actor Bryan Cranston. For his indelible performance as teacher-turnedmeth dealer, Cranston added his second lead actor SAG Award, to go with his recent Golden Globe win and his numerous Emmys. “We have the nicest bunch of white supremacist Nazis I have ever worked with,” said Crans-

emy Award nominations, the SAG Awards are particularly monitored for predicting Oscar momentum. The outstanding cast category, the night’s top honor, was perhaps a showdown between American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave. Nyong’o won for supporting actress for her performance as the singular slave Patsy in Steve McQueen’s historical drama. She thanked McQueen “for taking a flashlight and shining it underneath the floorboards of this nation and reminding us what it is we stand on.” Leto was honored for support-

ton, looking over his former cast mates. “I swear to you I would kill you all over again.” Two big-screen veterans won awards for TV films: Michael Douglas for HBO’s Liberace drama Behind the Candelabra, and Helen Mirren for the biopic Phil Spector, also on HBO. Modern Family enjoyed another round of awards, winning for ensemble in a comedy series and taking the male actor in a comedy series honor for Ty Burrell. SAG’s lifetime achievement award was given to Rita Moreno, the 81-year-old West Side Story actress.

Shhhh! Noise top complaint in NYC By Verena Dobnik The Associated Press

NEW YORK — No wonder they call New York the city that never sleeps. Who can get any shuteye with all the noise? Screeching subway trains, honking cars, roaring planes, barking dogs and boisterous people make noise the Big Apple’s No. 1 quality-of-life complaint. A city hotline got more than 260,000 noise complaints last year. One of the lesser-known legacies of the recently ended 12-year tenure of Mayor Michael Bloomberg was one of the nation’s toughest noise codes. Under it, every construction site must post a noise mitigation plan, while excessive noise from restaurants, sidewalks, even garbage trucks is illegal. Tickets range from $70 for a barking dog to $350 for honking your horn to as much as $8,000 for a nightclub playing loud music. Times Square has the distinction of being the worst place for noise. “This is the noisiest place in New York City!” declares Jesse Davis, who stands in the heart of Times Square handing out leaflets for psychic readings. “It’s toot, toot, toot, toot all day.” Davis tries to drown out the noise with music from his ear buds. “This is New York, and this whole city is noisy,” he says. “But you get used to it — business is business.” Then there are the subways. At P.S. 85 in Queens’ Astoria neighborhood, children and

their teachers have a signal system: Touching a forefinger to the lips while lifting two fingers in the air. That means stop everything because the overwhelming noise outside from the screeching elevated subway trains drowns out any kind of speech. Parents recently held a news conference to protest the noise, and they were interrupted 16 times in a half-hour by train squeals. “This is attention deficit disorder forced on the kids because every few minutes they’re distracted and they have to constantly refocus,” says Evie Hantzopoulos, co-president of the school’s parent association.

Hoboken mayor says Christie tied Sandy funds to project TRENTON, N.J. — The Christie administration withheld millions of dollars in Superstorm Sandy recovery grants from a New Jersey city because its mayor refused to sign off on a politically connected commercial development, the mayor said Saturday. Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer alleged that Gov. Chris Christie’s lieutenant governor and a top community development official told her recovery funds would flow to her city if she allowed the project to move forward. Zimmer said Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno pulled her aside at an event in May and told her Sandy aid was tied to the project — a proposal from the New York City-based Rockefeller Group aimed at prime real estate in the densely populated city across the river from New York City. “I was directly told the by the lieutenant governor — she made it very clear — that the Rockefeller project needed to move forward or they wouldn’t be able to help me,” Zimmer said. “There is no way I could ethically do what the governor, through the lieutenant governor, is asking me to do.” Christie’s office denied Zimmer’s claims, calling her statements politically motivated.

Boy charged in Philly school shooting, another released PHILADELPHIA — Police charged a boy with aggravated assault and related crimes on Saturday in connection with a shooting that wounded two students inside a Philadelphia high school gymnasium, but released a second boy from custody without charging him. Police were not releasing the name of the 17-yearold suspect who was charged, because it wasn’t immediately clear if he was to be tried as an adult. Police also didn’t identify the boy who was released. He had surrendered Friday night, hours after the 3:30 p.m. shooting at the Delaware Valley Charter High School in north Philadelphia.

Official Egyptian vote leaves questions of divided country CAIRO — Almost everyone who cast ballots supported Egypt’s new constitution in last week’s referendum, results announced Saturday show, but a boycott by Islamists and low youth turnout suggest the country is still dangerously divided. Nearly 20 million voters backed the new constitution, almost double the number of those who voted for one in 2012 under the government of toppled Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. Only a narrow sliver of voters — 1.9 percent — voted against the charter, after a massive government-sponsored campaign supporting it and the arrest of activists campaigning against it. The expected overwhelming support for the charter is seen as key to legitimizing Egypt’s military-backed interim government, and the political plan put in place since Morsi’s ouster in July. Analysts say it also suggests military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who led the coup against Morsi, has enough popular support to make a rumored run for the presidency himself.

Funeral held for revolutionary black poet, activist Baraka NEWARK, N.J. — A cacophony of bagpipes, African drums and jazz riffs creatively blended — much like the elements of an Amiri Baraka poem -— at the Saturday funeral for the activist-writer and a founder of the Black Arts Movement, who died earlier this month. The service, held at Newark Symphony Hall, featured poetry, music and tributes to a man several speakers hailed as a creative and committed revolutionary who had a profound influence both on American culture and on a generation of artists and activists. The 79-year-old author died Jan. 9. Baraka wrote blues-based poetry, essays, plays, and books and operas — or “boperas” as he called them — mixing music, spoken word and rhythm in a signature style that many credit as an important precursor to hiphop, rap and slam poetry. He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1995. The Associated Press

On Manhattan’s East Side, residents of the Rivergate apartment are subjected to a smorgasbord of sound: relentless whirring from helicopters at the East 34th Street Heliport, traffic whizzing by day and night on the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive and ambulances heading for Langone Medical Center. After years of complaints about 90-decibel noise levels in their apartments, Rivergate’s management installed sound-dampening panes. Sheldon and Gloria Moline say that when they first moved into their 32nd-floor apartment five years ago, they had to wear earplugs in their living room with the windows closed. Now the only time they use them is when they venture out on the balcony. “You can’t talk because there’s nothing between you and the helicopters except six lanes of traffic,” Sheldon Moline says. And then there is airport noise. Barbara Brown puts up with massive jets from John F. Kennedy Airport flying full thrust as low as about 100 feet over her house in Queens’ Springfield Gardens neighborhood, at decibel levels topping 110. Every few minutes, the roof rattles, the ceilings shake and at night, aircraft lights shine through windows. “Whenever a plane is taking off or landing, it wakes you up,” says the retired elementary school principal. “If you’re talking on the phone, you have to stop. And you can’t hear the TV in your living room.”

Coal: EPA says more pollution is likely

Syrian opposition to attend talks The Associated Press

ISTANBUL — The main, Western-backed Syrian opposition group voted Saturday in favor of attending a coming peace conference aimed at ending the country’s bloody civil war, paving the way for the first direct talks between the rival sides in the nearly three-year conflict. The vote in Istanbul came as food supplies began entering a besieged rebel-held Palestinian refugee camp in Syria’s capital for the first time in months, an apparent goodwill gesture by President Bashar Assad’s government ahead of the peace conference, Palestinian and

Continued from Page A-1 regulations underway, more pollution from coal-fired power plants is expected to enter the nation’s waterways, according to a recent EPA assessment. “Clean coal means perhaps cleaner atmosphere, but dirtier water,” said Avner Vengosh, a Duke University researcher who has monitored discharges from power plant waste ponds and landfills in North Carolina. In that state, Vengosh and other researchers found contaminants from coal ash disposal sites threatening the drinking water for Charlotte, the nation’s 17th-largest city, with cancercausing arsenic. “It is kind of a time bomb that can erupt in some kind of specific condition,” Vengosh said. The water shows no signs of arsenic contamination now. In southeastern Ohio, tainted water draining from abandoned coal mines shuttered a century ago still turns portions of the Raccoon Creek orange with iron and coats the half-submerged rocks along its path white with aluminum. Public drinking water systems in 14 West Virginia counties where mining companies are blasting off mountaintops to get to coal seams exceeded state safe drinking water standards seven times more than in nonmining counties, according to a study published in a water quality journal in 2012. The systems provided water for more than a million people. The water quality monitoring in mining areas is so inadequate that most health violations likely were not caught, said Michael Hendryx, the study’s author and a professor of applied health at Indiana University. The EPA, in an environmental assessment last year, identified 132 cases where coal-fired power plant waste has damaged rivers, streams and lakes, and 123 where it has tainted underground water sources, in many cases legally, officials said. Among them is the massive failure of a waste pond at a Tennessee Valley Authority power plant in 2008. More than 5 million cubic yards of ash poured into a river and spoiled hundreds of acres in a community 35 miles west of Knoxville. Overall, power plants contributed to the degradation of 399 bodies of water that are drinking water sources, according to the EPA. There are no federal limits on the vast majority of chemicals that power plants pipe directly into rivers, streams and reservoirs. The EPA just last year proposed setting limits on a few of the compounds, the first update since 1982. More than five years after the Tennessee spill, the EPA has yet to issue federal regulations governing the disposal of coal ash. Experts say the agency is playing catch-up to solve a problem that began when it required power plants in the 1990s to scrub their air pollution to remove sulfur dioxide. An unintended consequence was that the pollutants captured were dumped into landfills and ponds, many unlined, where they seeped into underground aquifers or were piped into adjacent rivers, reservoirs and lakes. “As you are pushing air rules

that are definitely needed, you need to think of the water. And they didn’t,” said Eric Schaeffer, a former EPA enforcement official. “Now they are running after the problem.” He now heads the Environmental Integrity Project, a group whose research has uncovered previously unknown sites of contamination from power plant waste pits. The federal government has in recent years issued the first regulations for mercury released from power plant smokestacks, the largest source of mercury entering waterways. The EPA has stepped up its review of mountaintop mining permits, to reduce pollution. “Coal-related pollution remains a significant contributor to water quality pollution across the United States,” said Alisha Johnson, an EPA spokeswoman. “The EPA’s efforts have yielded significant improvements, but significant work still remains.” On the mining side, a review of federal environmental enforcement records shows that nearly three-quarters of the 1,727 coal mines listed haven’t been inspected in the past five years to see if they are obeying water pollution laws. Also, 13 percent of the fossil-fuel fired power plants are not complying with the Clean Water Act. Many mines don’t even report their discharges of selenium, although researchers have found the chemical near mines at levels where it can cause deformities and reproductive failure in fish. University of Maryland environmental sciences professor Margaret Palmer spent much of the weekend that Charleston was without water testing the Stillhouse Branch stream near Clay, W.Va., just below a mountaintop removal coal mine. She said her tests showed the water was too salty from the rocks from the mine. “It’s like a desert with a few water rats in it,” Palmer said. “The organisms that do live in [these streams], you think of them like water rats. Only the really hearty ones survive.” Efforts by the EPA to ease the problem, by requiring mine permits to be judged by a measure of the saltiness in downstream water, have been vacated by a federal court. That decision is under appeal. A spokesman for the National Mining Association said the industry operates in accord with extensive and rigorous permitting guidelines. Pollution still enters the environment from coal mined decades ago. The EPA estimates 12,000 river miles are tainted by acid mine drainage from long-shuttered coal mines.

butcher from power,” Jarba said. But many Coalition members are hesitant to attend a conference that has little chance of success and will burn the last shred of credibility the group has with powerful rebels on the ground, who reject the talks. Many members boycotted the Istanbul meetings that began on Friday, forcing the Coalition’s legal committee to approve the decision in a simple majority vote. Although Islamic rebel groups reject any talks with the government, the head of the Western-backed Supreme Military Council, Gen. Salim Idris, said in a statement that he backs “a solution that guarantees a political transition of power.”

States take the lead on the water pollution front. But advocacy groups from at least three states in coal country — Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana — have asked the EPA to step in, arguing that state officials aren’t doing enough.

United Nations officials said. The Syrian National Coalition was under huge pressure from its Western and Arab sponsors to attend the peace talks, scheduled to open Wednesday in the Swiss city of Montreux. The Syrian government has already said it will attend the U.N.-sponsored talks. The Coalition’s leader, Ahmad al-Jarba, said in a speech late Saturday that they are heading to the conference “without any bargain regarding the principles of the revolution and we will not be cheated by Assad’s regime.” “The negotiating table for us is a track toward achieving the demands of the revolution — at the top of them removing the

2014 Legislature Keep an eye on session’s likely movers and shakers By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

There are 112 members of the state Legislature. Virtually every one of them has the potential of becoming the center of attention on any given day of the session — for introducing important legislation, for giving a brilliant speech (though these are rare for legislators), for becoming a pivotal vote on a bill, for making an embarrassing gaffe or for getting caught doing something questionable. Here is a look at some lawmakers almost certain to be making news during the 2014 Legislature. Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen Since the early days of her administration, Gov. Susana Martinez has knocked heads with and publicly criticized Sanchez more than any other legislator. Martinez and her political team spent a lot of money trying to defeat Sanchez in the 2012 election. Sanchez is a lawyer from Belen, who has served in the Senate since 1993. After chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee for several years, he was elected to the majority leader post in late 2004. Sanchez is the brother of another powerful legislative leader, former House Speaker Raymond Sanchez, who now is a lobbyist. As majority leader, Michael Sanchez arguably is the most powerful person in the Senate. He decides which bills get heard on the Senate floor — the importance of which becomes more and more apparent as the minutes tick away at the close of a session. Martinez and other backers of the governor’s “social promotion” bill (which would require third-graders who can’t read to be held back a year) say Sanchez used this power to sink the legislation in 2011. The bill had passed the House by a wide margin and had unanimous support in two Senate committees. But it died without a hearing on the Senate floor. Since that session, the bill has lost many supporters among Democrats. Even without the animosity between Sanchez and Martinez, the Senate often proves to be more of an obstacle to the governor’s agenda than the House. It’s considered to be more independent-minded than the other chamber. And Democrats, who outnumber Republicans 25-17, have a firmer grip on the Senate than the House (where there are 37 Democrats and 33 Republicans.)

House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants Unlike Sanchez, Kenny Martinez has yet to publicly clash with Gov. Martinez (no relation). In fact, the speaker was instrumental in the governor’s last-minute tax deal last year, expediting the hearing on the bill, stifling opposition and — some opponents said — actually taking the vote a minute after the session had legally ended. The speaker’s actions on that last day of the session angered some in the Democrats’ progressive wing. Whether any animosity will carry over to this session should soon be known. Speaker Martinez, a lawyer from Grants, took over the speaker’s job last year, following the late Speaker Ben Luján of Nambé. The son of a former speaker, Walter K. Martinez, who served in the ’70s, Kenny Martinez is known as a leader who tries to reach consensus. Though he’s a Democrat, he’s always enjoyed generally good relationships with Republicans. (He’s godfather of one of the children of former GOP House Whip Dan Foley. Kenny Martinez and Foley served together on the House Judiciary Committee.) Kenny Martinez won the position of majority leader in 2004 by challenging an incumbent. Two years later, he tried to oust Luján as speaker but fell short. He and Luján quickly mended fences, however, and by all reports, the two worked smoothly together for the remainder of Luján’s years. The position of House speaker frequently is referred to as the most powerful post at the state Legislature. The House speaker has control of who sits on what committees, how many committee assignments each bill gets, as well as what gets heard on the House floor. Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen, D-Las Cruces When Papen won the pro tem job with the help of Senate Republicans last year, many saw that as a victory for conservatives. (There was no vote taken. Sen. Pete Campos, D-Las Vegas, who had been nominated by the Senate Democratic Caucus, withdrew his name after it became apparent he didn’t have the votes to win.) Indeed, Papen is more conservative than Campos and many others in her party. However, she’s no fire-breathing

right-winger. Papen, in those days before same-sex marriage, voted for a bill to establish legal domestic partnerships. She also voted to abolish the death penalty. And while she’s enjoyed a generally cordial relationship with the governor, in the past year, Papen has become one of the leading critics of the way the Martinez administration handled the shake-up of the state’s mental health system — specifically the move to halt Medicaid funding of more than a dozen of the state’s largest behavioral health providers suspected of fraud, and then bringing in five Arizona companies to take over the caseloads of the New Mexico companies. It will be interesting to see whether this disagreement with Gov. Martinez spills into other areas with Papen. The most important duty of the Senate president pro tem is naming and presiding over the committee that selects committee members and chairmen. Senate Finance Committee Chairman John Arthur Smith, D-Deming The congenial Smith doesn’t seem crazy about the nickname he’s picked up in the Roundhouse in recent years: “Dr. No.” He got the name because as finance chairman, he’s in better position than anyone in the Senate to block spending proposals, and he’s not afraid to do so. Smith, who is without doubt the most conservative Democrat in the Senate (perhaps the entire Legislature), enjoys good relations with the Republican governor as well as his GOP colleagues. In fact, he probably has more problems with his fellow Democrats. One big bone of contention between Smith and the Democrats is legislation that would allow the state to tap the Land Grant Permanent Fund for early childhood education. Last year, Smith didn’t allow the proposal to be heard in his committee. Smith argued the legislation would threaten the permanent fund’s long-term viability. On Thursday at a news conference, state Democratic Party Chairman Sam Bregman, answering a reporter’s question, said that if Smith didn’t allow the measure to be heard this year, Smith should “join with the governor and become a Republican.” Bregman also said if Smith blocks the bill again, “he will be primaryed.” Smith, first elected to the Senate in 1988, faced a primary challenger in 2012, but he won. As do all senators, he faces re-election again in 2016.

House Minority Whip Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque Gentry is a young, ambitious lawyer who was elected to the whip position last year, two years after he first was elected to the House. Although veteran Hobbs lawmaker Don Bratton is minority leader in the House, Gentry frequently is in the spotlight during a session. Last year, Gentry worked with Rep. Miguel Garcia, D-Albuquerque — a political odd couple if ever there was one — to amend Garcia’s bill to require background checks of people buying firearms at gun shows. This amended version of the bill passed the House with a handful of Republicans voting for it and Republican Gov. Martinez saying she’d sign it. However, the bill died in the Senate. Gentry faced some criticism from gun advocates for his role in the compromise. In addition to his duties as whip, Gentry has been active in recruiting Republican candidates for House races this year. Many believe the GOP will make a major push to win control of the House in December. Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, Legislative Finance Committee chairman Former Gov. Bill Richardson once said that Varela has forgotten more than most will ever know about state finances. That may be true. Varela’s lengthy legislative career — he first was elected in 1986 after a career in state government — is approaching the end. He’s running for re-election this year, but he says that will be the last time. Along with Sen. Smith, Varela is the chief architect of the Legislative Finance Committee’s proposed budget and the House’s major advocate of the across-the-board pay raises for state employees called for in the budget proposal. He should be at the forefront of the battle with Gov. Martinez and GOP legislators who oppose the across-theboard raises. Sen. Bill Sharer, R-Farmington Sharer doesn’t hold a leadership position, but in his 13 years in the Senate, he’s earned an unofficial position as leader of the social conservatives in the Senate. Last summer, Sharer — in the face

of some judges and country clerks across the state issuing same-sex marriage licenses — got a handful of like-minded legislators to file an action to try to stop marriage equality. The case eventually ended up before the state Supreme Court, which in December ruled it unconstitutional to deny marriage to gay and lesbian couples. Undaunted, Sharer prefiled a proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union of one man and one woman. Although even some Republicans privately admit that Senate Joint Resolution 6 probably won’t pass — and the governor has said she won’t push for it — Sharer is expected to put up a good fight. Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, and Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City Both of these senators are running in the Democratic primary for governor, and both are expected to be quite active in the session. Lopez, as chairwoman of the Senate Rules Committee, has promised to hold a hearing on the controversial nomination of Public Education Department Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera. That nomination, which is opposed by most Senate Democrats, has been held up since 2011. She also has said the Rules Committee plans to hold a hearing about the controversial multimillion-dollar lease awarded to The Downs Racetrack & Casino in Albuquerque in 2011. Some former members of Gov. Martinez’s political team have said they have been questioned by the FBI about the lease, which was awarded to a partnership headed by large contributors to the governor. (Martinez’s people have denied there is any such investigation, and the FBI, as per its policy, will not confirm or deny any investigation.) Next only to the Skandera nomination, this promises to be the most politically heated hearing of the session.) Meanwhile, Morales is a member of the Senate Education Committee. With education being one of the hot topics of this session, expect Morales to take a big role in fighting for the Democrats’ positions.

Bills: Governor will continue push for measures that failed before Continued from Page A-1 Two years ago, only New Mexico and Washington state had laws allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. Proof of identity and state residency are required. Utah has a similar system in which immigrants receive driving privilege cards. Martinez said New Mexico was on the wrong side of the national statistics. “It’s not that hard. Forty-eight states have figured it out,” she said in 2012. But last year, Illinois approved a law similar to New Mexico’s. Soon after, seven other states and Washington, D.C., did the same. Colorado and California, the nation’s most populous state, were among them. Rep. Miguel Garcia, D-Albuquerque, is the perhaps most outspoken proponent of the licensing law. Garcia said it helps ordinary people who are contributing to the state’s economy. The lobbyist for New Mexico’s green chile industry once told legislators that all the harvesters are Mexican nationals, typically men in their 60s. Garcia said the law enables hardworking people to lawfully drive to their job. Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, D-Albuquerque, is another supporter of the law. He said it actually improves public safety because those with licenses are listed in police databases and can easily be tracked. People without licenses will still drive but are more likely to flee if they are involved in an accident, Maestas said. Law enforcement agencies largely have backed Martinez in her push for a repeal. But Santa Fe’s police chief and sheriff have broken ranks and supported the licensing law. Critics of the governor say her interest in driver’s licenses is out of balance with the state’s needs. “Repealing the law is not going to help one child or create

one job,” said Marcela Diaz of the Santa Fe-based immigrant rights group Somos Un Pueblo Unido. Her organization has lobbied hard to keep the licensing law in place. The 50 Republicans in the House and Senate have been solid voting blocs for repealing the law. Gentry, the House Republican whip, said safety is compromised — not improved — by issuing driver’s licenses to those in the country unlawfully. “Not a week goes by without some case of fraud at a motor vehicle office,” he said. A variety of proposals have been offered to reduce scams in which people from elsewhere try to obtain New Mexico driver’s licenses. Diaz said yearly in-person driver’s license renewals for people without proof of immigration status would eliminate fraud. Moreover, Egolf said, the fact that so many other states are issuing licenses to undocu-

mented immigrants makes it less likely that people who live elsewhere will travel to New Mexico in hopes of getting a license by falsely claiming state residency. To Egolf, the driver’s license issue is more about politics than public policy. “Every day we spend debating driver’s licenses is a day we don’t talk about the governor’s economic record or the inadequate staffing levels at the Children, Youth and Families Department,” he said. Another of Martinez’s signature campaign issues in 2010 was ending what she calls social promotion — passing along students to the next grade, even though they are not prepared to succeed academically. Martinez initially wanted to hold back students in third, fifth and eighth grades, based on test results. But it became apparent to her that such a bill would never clear the Legislature. Eighth-graders held back en masse simply would drop out of school at their first opportunity,

many legislators said. Martinez refocused her initiative on third-graders. She said kids learn to read in the early grades. But after third grade, they must read to learn. Kids who enter fourth grade without solid reading skills are more likely to fail and drop out, the governor has said in virtually all her speeches on education reform. This session, two legislators who spent long careers as teachers are carrying bills that would hold back certain third-graders, based on lack of reading skills. The sponsors are Rep. Mary Helen Garcia, D-Las Cruces, and Sen. Gay Kernan, R-Hobbs. “In my mind, the retention bill is a no-brainer,” Gentry said. He said he was impressed with recent results in Tennessee and Washington, D.C., in which third-grade retention and remediation produced improved readers. Sen. Bill Soules, D-Las Cruces, is a teacher who says the retention bills would do far more

harm than good. Soules said no scientific evidence exists to show a correlation between forced retention and improved high school graduation rates. Immediate and sustained help for kids who are having a hard time academically is what’s critical to success in school, Soules said. Last fall, Soules skewered a study in which a researcher said Florida’s retention system for third-graders had yielded better students. Soules said kids did better because Florida paid for summer school, intensive coaching for struggling readers and a program in which highly ranked teachers were assigned to classrooms with students who needed the most help. “They might have done even better if the same program had been put in place but without mandatory retention of those kids,” Soules said. New Mexico law now allows parents a one-time veto of a school staff’s recommendation to hold back a student. After that, school staffs have the authority to decide whether a student is retained. Budget issues traditionally are the centerpiece of 30-day legislative sessions. But Martinez’s high-profile initiatives are among the other bills that will be considered.

Sen. John Arthur Smith, who chairs the Finance Committee, said he was uneasy venturing into other topics, especially Skandera’s confirmation hearing. He said they could take time away from important discussions on finances. Smith, D-Deming, said he preferred to put off a vote on Skandera for another year. If Martinez is defeated in the November election, Skandera would no longer be heading the Public Education Department. If Martinez wins, the Senate could take up Skandera’s confirmation at the beginning of a second four-year term, Smith said, Driver’s licenses and thirdgrade retention may not go anywhere this session, but many senators say a decision on Skandera’s confirmation has to be made. Skandera has promised that she will do her job and not concern herself with lobbying senators. Many senators are not inclined to talk about Skandera’s confirmation until they have to. One is Sen. Joseph Cervantes, D-Las Cruces. “I do know how I’m going to vote. I won’t say, though,” Cervantes said. Contact Milan Simonich at 986-3080 or msimonich@ sfnewmexican.com.

2014 Legislature Want to participate? Know how to navigate the frenzy By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

KEY DATES

LOCAL LEGISLATORS (All are Democrats and from Santa Fe except where noted.)

While politicians talk a lot about welcoming public participation in the New Mexico Legislature, which convenes at noon Tuesday, in reality, trying to participate can seem like an obstacle course for members of the public who are unversed in the ways of a legislative session. Published schedules of meetings often are useless. The meeting rooms tend to be cramped. The rules and procedures can seem arcane and hard to follow. Here are a few tips for citizens trying to keep up with the session. With a little patience, you might get the knack of it. u First of all, don’t depend on the schedules for floor sessions and committee meetings that you find on the Legislature’s website. The schedules become more and more unpredictable as the session goes on. It’s not because of some sinister conspiracy trying to thwart public participation. Basically, it’s a matter of logistics. If a floor session in the House or Senate goes long, the committees of that body will be delayed. And if either political party in either chamber decides to meet in caucus to plan strategy, even more delays can be expected. u The same goes for committee agendas. Just because a bill you’re following is fourth on the agenda, don’t expect it to be heard after the third item. Bills can be moved up or down at the pleasure of the committee chairman. Sometimes a committee will hear a bill out of order as a courtesy to the sponsor, who might have to rush to another committee meeting. Do not expect them to hear your bill out of order as a courtesy to you. u Likewise, you can’t depend on the order of items on House

2014 Legislature Skandera: Stands behind policies she says have worked elsewhere Continued from Page A-1 Told that she sticks to her message well, Skandera, 40, said, “It’s not a message. It’s a conviction.” As she enters into her fourth legislative session — one that in many ways may be a mandate of Martinez’s attempts to reform education in the state — Skandera will be in the spotlight once again. Lawmakers will be asked again to either confirm her, and remove the “designate” from her title, or remove her from her job. Rules Committee Chairwoman Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, said she will schedule yet another confirmation hearing for Skandera in the coming weeks. If the committee passes the matter on to the Senate, that body of 42 will ultimately determine whether she will continue as the face of Martinez’s education reforms. The Rules Committee did not schedule a hearing for Skandera in 2011 or 2012. Last year, it set up three hearings without determining whether or not to recommend she be confirmed. Supporters praise Skandera for pushing the state’s new A-F school grading system into law. But critics — including a cadre of Los Alamos scientists — say that system is impossible for most to understand. Supporters say Skandera’s new teacher-evaluation system — implemented by department rule after the Legislature failed to pass legislation to enact it — will hold teachers accountable for students’ continued achievement and reward highly effective instructors. Critics say the system relies too much on test-score data (50 percent of the evaluation) and that because Skandera has never been a teacher she doesn’t understand what teaching is about. Supporters claim Skandera’s efforts to implement intervention, remediation and retention for third-graders who cannot read to grade level will, in turn, lead to academic success and economic power within the state. Critics say the plan is full of holes and that parents, not the state, should decide whether to keep their child back a grade. Some of her other decisions have raised questions as well. Skandera has overruled the Public Education Commission on applications for state charter schools. She supported the newly chartered, online New Mexico Connections Virtual Academy in Santa Fe, which is overseen by a private corporation. She has pushed for merit pay for effective teachers, offered $5,000 stipends to draw good teachers to lowperforming schools, and redirected money from general obligation bonds from textbooks and materials to reward teachers at top-ranking schools. “I don’t believe she is qualified [to be secretary of education] under the constitution,” Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, said this week. But Sen. Sandor Rue, R-Albuquerque, says “she has done a good job of initiating education reforms that are created by this administration, and she is committed to carrying them out. She’s put up with a lot of disrespect, rudeness, verbal attacks, and she has shown a tremendous amount of character in the way she has stood up to that. She puts up with an awful lot and continues to do the job that she is charged to do.” What keeps her going? “Not every person wakes up every morning believing in what they do,” Skandera explained in an interview in December.

Out to win Skandera’s background is primarily academic and administrative. She has a bachelor’s degree in business from Sonoma State University, a master’s degree from the Pepperdine University School of Public Policy and fellowships from Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. She served as CEO of the Texas-based nonprofit Laying the Foundation, a teacher-training program, and quickly moved up the ranks of both the California and Florida public education systems. After winning the November 2010 election, Martinez offered Skandera the job of education secretary, calling her a “true reformer.” Skandera said she met the governor for a three- to fourhour discussion in Albuquerque in December 2010 and accepted

the job “within 24 hours.” Skandera served as deputy secretary of education under former Gov. Jeb Bush in Florida, and critics often argue she is simply adopting “the Florida model” of education here — such as ending social promotion and initiating A-F grades for schools. “It’s not like this is what I know best,” Skandera said of her reform ideas. “These are research-driven decisions.” She maintains that every policy she and the governor are pushing has successfully worked elsewhere. Stephanie Ley, president of the American Federation of Teachers in Albuquerque, contests that claim — as do others. Criticism and questions have arisen as many of the Florida initiatives have either failed, stalled or not quite lived up to their promise. Education Week’s recent Quality Counts report, which judges states’ educational standing on a variety of issues, just gave Florida a C. New Mexico got a D-plus. The state consistently ranks near the bottom when it comes to such comparisons, and its ranking has not changed much in the past three years under Martinez’s leadership. Why is it taking so long? “Fundamentally, we have done too little too long,” Skandera said. “I do know that something greater is possible for the state of New Mexico … if you keep your eye on that goal. What I see is a lot of adults losing sight of our kids. I think it’s happened too long.” Ley doesn’t believe Skandera is keeping sight of the right goal: “I don’t think she is focused on New Mexico. I think she is focused on getting what she wants passed.” Ley and other teacher union representatives believe most educators in the state aren’t happy with Skandera. Skandera said that despite media reports to the contrary, not all teachers are against her, and many tell her she’s not at all what they expected. In talking to school and community leaders, she said, “What I hear out there is not often what I read in the news.” Skandera quickly counts off her achievements: an upswing in reading scores at many grade levels, an increase in graduation rates and a jump in the number of A and B schools from last year. She also successfully earned a waiver from several No Child Left Behind mandates and has secured federal Race to the Top grants. More importantly, she said, “Everybody’s talking about education at the dinner table. That’s ownership.” Asked where she has failed, Skandera doesn’t supply specifics: “On a scale of 1 to 5, even if it is a 5, there is always room for improvement — including myself.” Questions remain about unpopular and possibly unethical actions conducted under her watch — including procurement code violations (which the Public Education Department acknowledged and set out to fix), redirecting bond money (which she claims is legal) and potential conflicts of interest centering on ties with private groups wanting to do business in New Mexico (which Skandera denies). Last year, she told the Rules Committee that the only income she earns — $125,000 — is as secretary of education, and that she is not conducting any other private or personal business that benefits her financially. She reiterated that claim last week, saying she takes no money from any outside sources. If she travels to give a speech on education, she said, she does not take a fee — only reimbursement for travel expenses. Sen. Lopez has asked the Attorney General’s Office to issue an opinion on whether Skandera violated any state regulations in some of these actions. On Thursday, Attorney General’s Office spokesman Phil Sisneros said the office is still researching that issue.

Love her or hate her Skandera does have supporters in the business and political community, and there are some individual superintendents, principals and teachers who have spoken out on her behalf at public meetings. Paul Benoit, who heads the New Mexico School Superintendents Association, said it’s generally impossible to get the superintendents of all

89 districts to agree on any issue, but he said it’s fair to say some superintendents express support for Skandera, and some do not. Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent Winston Brooks, who tweeted comments about Skandera that compared her to livestock last November, declined to comment for this article. Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd said he has nothing but positive things to say about his relationship with Skandera. “Sometimes we disagree, but ultimately that’s part of the work,” he said. “We both have different jobs.” But, he said, “She’s open-minded and available; she’s certainly accessible.” Skandera has a fan in parent Adriana Cardenes, who wholeheartedly supports her — as a human being. Skandera serves as a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program to Cardenes’ third-grade daughter, Ariana Chavez. “She’s a wonderful person. … Ariana loves going with Hanna. They go ice skating,

they watch movies, they cook. She talks to Ariana about her behavior and how she is doing in school. She came to see her in a violin concert at school.” Even Skandera’s critics say she seems to believe in what she is doing, and that she is pleasant and polite in her dealings.

“But there is no dialogue about how we can meet in the middle,” Ley said. “I think it is a matter of not listening and not willing to compromise.” Joe Guillen, head of the state’s school board association, half agrees. He said Skandera does listen and that sometimes she

compromises, but he thinks the “PED is on a mission that is pretty straight-lined, which doesn’t allow for a whole lot of compromise.” Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation, said Skandera is an

The Legislative Finance Committee has recommended $10 million in bond financing for highway maintenance and $6 million for a road to the state’s spaceport. EDUCATION Backdrop: Public schools, colleges and universities get nearly $3 out of every $5 in the operating budget. The high school graduation rate was 70 percent in the last school year, and nearly half of graduates enrolling in state colleges in 2011 and 2012 required remedial courses. Proposals: Martinez will renew a proposal to require schools to hold back third-graders who can’t read proficiently. Some Democrats and a coalition of social advocacy groups want to earmark part of the yearly payout from a state permanent fund to provide more money for early-childhood education. Lawmakers also will consider ways to shore up a lottery-financed college scholarship program. Some proposals would change the program to make the aid need-based and provide a flat dollar amount for scholarships.

Skandera: Says she sees results Skandera and Martinez’s decision to bypass the Legislature on the teacher-evaluation system. “To implement that plan by rule violates the spirit of balance of power and the respect of each branch as its own entity,” he said. “You have to respect the Legislature and the process that is in place.” If the Senate does not vote to confirm Skandera, Ley said, “I believe the governor will put someone in there who does the same thing.” Rue agreed: “Somebody is going to fulfill that position as secretary or secretary-designate … and at the end of the day, what she is carrying out is what the executive leader of this state is governing.”

Continued from Page A-6 expert at talking on point and sticking to her message “without any context.” Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, said Skandera should not be the target. “The buck stops with the Governor’s Office,” he said. He respects Skandera in at least one way: “Despite all the detractors that she has out there, she seems to hold her own pretty well.” Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City and a gubernatorial candidate, said by phone that he has a lot of concerns about Skandera’s plans and her department’s failure to communicate its policies with both legislators and school districts. He takes issue with

Skandera said she is in it for the long run: “I’m here. I believe we are beginning to see results. I want to walk that out. I want to continue improving education along with this governor … and we have a long way to go.” Skandera’s father remains a bit perplexed by all the hoopla. “If you have a deep conviction about something, then it’s about pursuing that conviction,” Harry Skandera said. “Maybe you take a lot of personal hits. You have to weigh the costs. I think Hanna counted the cost before she came to New Mexico, but I don’t think she had any idea that she would become a lightning rod.”

another example of how Native Americans, and our history in this country, have been virtually forgotten. Even the Omaha (Neb.) Chamber of Commerce wrote thank-you letters to Manning for his multiple mentions of their city. The company that sells Omaha Steaks did the same. Neither one brought up the fact that they got their name from the Omaha Tribe. I wonder if the origin of the name is taught in the Nebraska school system? It makes me glad to live in a state that acknowledges the Native American existence and contributions to the state’s history, and strives to keep pueblos and tribes as part of the contemporary experience of this land. (I don’t remember being taught in school in my home state of Oklahoma that the origin of the name was a Choctaw word meaning “The Red People.”) Indian people are used to being ignored by the American general public and news outlets. In fact, we find humor in it. I was reading comments on Facebook earlier this week on Manning’s mentions of Omaha and why he does it. One comment from one of my Indian

friends was, “The mere mention of the name Omaha frightens opponents.” Another was, “He uses it for good medicine.” I have a problem, though, with officials from Omaha, or corporations with the name in their title like Mutual of Omaha, wondering and strategizing about how they can capitalize on Manning’s use of the name. Some want to explore the possibility of hiring Manning to shoot a promotional ad for Omaha. The city also will get a lot of free exposure this week over the hoopla caused by Manning’s signal-calling. And if the Broncos make it to the Super Bowl, his cadence could be worth millions. Meanwhile, I need to contact the Omaha Tribe and suggest they should try to profit off this nationwide publicity. Their public relations people should be calling every sports show in the country to tell them the real source of the name. Who knows — maybe next year Peyton could be yelling, “Tesuque, set, hut” or “Ohkay Owingeh, set, hut.” Harlan McKosato is Sauk/Ioway and director of NDN Productions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Restart economic engine: State government

he most common good now would be a functioning state economy and government, not a rhetorical allusion to the future of our children’s education, bettering “things” five to 20 years from now. Austerity only works for the 1 percent. Let us prosper and care for our children now. The governor’s austerity provides the worst employment and the worst economic growth. Instead, empower the largest sector with competitive wages (the State Personnel Office reports that state workers are 38 percent behind in earnings) using reversions from the last three years, the $200 million to $1 billion withheld from the state economy by the governor. The Department of Finance and Administration and Legislative Finance Committee report reversions of $65 million to $71 million for the last three years. The state’s Sunshine Portal shows vacancies on the order of 17 percent to 20 percent, which should result in $170 million to $200 million each year. Using the State Personnel Office’s $71,156 average value per employee multiplied by the 4,582 vacancies provides $326,036,792 this year. That, multiplied by 3, is $978,110,376, or a billion dollars of economic activity.

an old-fashioned American way of saying it is better to give than to receive. It’s an idea that doesn’t wear well in the current culture of entitlement, when the general cry — certainly not excluding politicians — is, “What’s in it for me?” Bruce Moss

Worthy of study The City Council soon will consider the adoption of a proposal to create a hospital study group, with two versions now being offered. The purpose of this committee is to make sure that Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, our only hospital, can stay viable and meet the needs of our community. I urge everyone to call or write your city councilors and urge them to support the proposal offered by Councilor Patti Bushee and Mayor David Coss. This proposal would create an inclusive and transparent process that would best address the community’s need for assurance that Christus St. Vincent can meet the needs of all who depend on it, both patients and staff.

Live music rocks As the mayoral candidates rev up their campaigns, let’s make sure they understand the importance of live music (of all genres) and nightlife in our community. Santa Fe is well-known for its visual arts, but the city’s music scene is woefully underappreciated. On any given night, locals and visitors alike can boogie, sway or shimmy to some of the finest music being made in the Southwest. Supported in the right way, the local music industry can become a piston in the city’s economic engine and attract a younger demographic of tourists and residents to the city at a time when many young people are leaving Santa Fe. The Santa Fe Music Alliance, a nonprofit organization working to foster a strong, vibrant music community, strongly encourages all of the candidates to educate themselves about the local music industry and come up with a plan to help it thrive — for the benefit of all Santa Feans.

happens at the Capitol A

s the state braces itself for another session of the Legislature, which begins noon Tuesday (Jan. 21), people wishing to know what actually goes on inside this big, round building should pick up a copy of the just-published Inside the New Mexico Senate: Boots, Suits and Citizens, written by former Sen. Dede Feldman. Feldman, an Albuquerque Democrat, served in the Senate from 1997 through 2012, serving under three governors and four presidents pro-tem and, as one of the leading progressives in the Roundhouse, experiencing a lot of frustration and occasional triumph. She gives an insider’s view of many of the well-known battles at the Roundhouse in recent years: ending cockfighting, abolishing the death penalty, legalizing medical marijuana and her specialty, health care legislation. Steve Terrell This isn’t a bitter and rancorous “now-it-canRoundhouse be-told” exposé. Anyone Roundup who knows Feldman knows that’s not her style. But it’s no glad-handing whitewash either. It’s an honest assessment of the people with whom she worked. And while you won’t find any real hatchet jobs here, her portrayals of fellow legislators are not always flattering. For instance, Feldman commends Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez for working behind the scenes to work out compromises on certain bills, bringing in potential opponents of a bill to seek common ground. But she notes Sanchez’s opposition to some open-government legislation. “He often lashed out against me and other advocates who dared to suggest that the public didn’t fully trust legislators.” Feldman writes, “Some say Sanchez has gone too far behind the scenes, injecting himself into members’ affairs, cautioning them about their personal indiscretions or drinking habits, or coaching them on how to speak or not speak on the floor.” Feldman says some members are grateful for Sanchez’s guidance on legislation, “but others wonder whether he tries to orchestrate too much, too secretly. Some doubt he always has their best interests in mind. …” Speaking of drinking, Feldman recalls an incident in 2011, when tobacco lobbyists took an unnamed senator out for drinks to try to persuade him to introduce amendments to water down a tobacco-tax increase bill. “They brought the senator back to the Capitol in an inebriated state. But the smell of liquor in the elevator attracted the attention of [Sanchez], who stormed into the [Senate Finance] committee room, pointed at Mark Duran, one of the tobacco lobbyists and said, ‘You screwed up. …’ ” The incident prompted Sanchez to work seriously to pass the tobacco tax bill. One of my favorite chapters in the book is the one on lobbyists. Feldman admits that in her first year in the Senate, she soaked up a lot of the Roundhouse social scene, which, of course, is paid for by lobbyists. “Eager to network and meet fellow legislators, lobbyists and their clients, I gained 20 pounds,” she writes. “I religiously attended the major dinners for all legislators listed on the social calendar and slurped up as much free booze as I could.” That was fun, but Feldman came to realize, “The problem with the system, as I see it, is that often the people that the legislators trust … are the same people whom they depend on for campaign contributions, food, fun and fellowship.” One disappointing aspect of the book is Feldman’s account of the 2001 coup against then Senate President pro-tem Manny Aragon by Sen. Richard Romero, D-Albuquerque. At the outset of that session, Romero and two other Democrats teamed up with all 18 Senate Republicans to defeat the powerful Aragon, who many said had become autocratic and arrogant after years in power. Feldman correctly says this was “clearly the most dramatic development I experienced in the New Mexico Senate …” adding that she “learned more about leadership, loyalty, courage and group dynamics on those opening days than I wanted to.” Even though she expresses admiration for Romero, Feldman actually voted for Aragon over Romero. At the time, she told reporters she’d promised Aragon to support him before Romero’s challenge had fully jelled. But you have to assume that this vote would have been troubling for Feldman, with a lot of soul-searching involved. That’s probably true for a lot of senators. I’d have liked to have seen more of this in the book. Despite that omission, this is essential reading for anyone involved with or interested in New Mexico’s Legislature.

Pope Francis: Feed the babies

ope Francis continues to surprise and delight in his role as leader of the Roman Catholic Church. His latest bit of advice, delivered to a group of parents having their children baptized last week in the Sistine Chapel, is both refreshing and wise. Breast-feeding in public, said the pope, is just fine — even during a papal Mass. That simple message is one that U.S. Catholic churches — with crying rooms in the back and advice in bulletins that breast-feeding is a no-no during Mass — should take to heart. This pope, it seems, is ahead of much of his more hidebound flock. Hungry babies everywhere will be thankful, as will parishioners straining to hear the homily over the cries of children who just would like to eat. Pope Francis’ down-to-earth comments — delivered during a Mass celebrating the Baptism of the Lord — is a welcome change from the many people who seek to shame women who are breast-feeding. Whether it’s a woman kicked off the plane for nursing, or a churchgoer told to go the restroom to feed her child, society sends mixed messages about the need for mothers to suckle their babies. Breast-feed, but not in public, moms are told. Breast-feed, but not if it makes someone else uncomfortable. Breastfeed, but not really. For Pope Francis, there’s no such confusion. “Some will cry because they are uncomfortable or because they are hungry,” he was quoted as saying. “If they are hungry, mothers, let them eat. …” It’s not the first time Pope Francis has talked about the need to feed children when they are hungry. In a December interview with La Stampa newspaper, he discussed a woman he had seen at a recent papal audience. Her child was crying. Pope Francis said he told her: “‘Ma’am I think your baby is hungry.’ And she replied, ‘Yes, it would be time.’ I replied, ‘Well, please, feed him.’ ” It’s a message the whole world should take to heart. A child is hungry. Feed her.

A bridge too narrow

he Historic Districts Review Board has an important job, balancing the needs of residents in a growing city with its historic past. A vote last week on what should replace the rickety (and unattractive) Defouri Street Bridge illustrates how difficult that balance can be. The 30-foot-wide bridge is unsafe and must be replaced. That’s not under dispute. Under the Americans for Disabilities Act and city code, city workers say a new bridge would require 5-foot sidewalks on either side of the street. That, said neighbors, is too big a bridge for their neighborhood. The board sided with neighbors and told the city’s Public Works Department that it wants only one sidewalk to keep the new bridge more in keeping with the scale of the neighborhood. Board member Karen Walker was blunt: “I don’t care what the code is.” (The request to demolish the bridge had to go through the review board because the bridge was designated a “contributing structure” back in December.) The city of Santa Fe must care what the code is, however. Else, why have one? We don’t want to see historic neighborhoods overrun with traffic, but the city has a responsibility to ensure that all residents can move around freely. That’s the underlying tenet of the Americans for Disabilities Act. We think the Public Works Department, which is seeking to replace the unsafe bridge, should appeal this decision to the City Council. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a compromise that could keep a narrower bridge and necessary sidewalks. An earlier design, claim neighbors, had two sidewalks and was not as bulky. That should be considered. When all is done, though, the bridge should be accessible to all. Neighbors can critique the design, as can the review board. The city, however, must ensure accessibility and safety — for all its citizens.

COMMENTARY: ANDREW J. BACEVICH

Remember the limits of war T

he U.S. military is like the highly skilled, gadget-toting contractor who promises to give your kitchen a nifty makeover in no time whatsoever. Here’s the guy you can count on to get the job done. Just look at those references! Yet, by the time he drives off months later, the kitchen’s a shambles and you’re stuck with a bill several times larger than the initial estimate. Turns out the job was more complicated than it seemed. But what say we take a crack at remodeling the master bath? That pretty much summarizes the American experience with war since the end of the Cold War. By common consent, when it comes to skills and gadgets, U.S. forces are in a league of their own. Yet when it comes to finishing the job on schedule and on budget, their performance has been woeful. Indeed, these days the United States absolves itself of any responsibility to finish wars that it starts. When we’ve had enough, we simply leave, pretending that when U.S. forces exit the scene, the conflict is officially over. In 2011, when the last American troops crossed from Iraq into Kuwait, President Barack Obama proudly declared that he had made good on his campaign promise to end the Iraq War. Sometime late this year, when the U.S. terminates its combat role in Afghanistan, he will waste no time consigning that war to the past as well. Yet the Iraq War did not end when the United States withdrew. Even with Washington striving mightily to ignore the fact, the violent ethno-sectarian struggle for Iraq triggered by the 2003 U.S.-led invasion continues. In recent days, events such as al-Qaida’s ferocious welcometo-the-new-year assault on the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi — roughly the equivalent of a Confederate army laying siege to Gettysburg sometime during the

presidency of Ulysses S. Grant — have made it impossible to pretend otherwise. Events in Afghanistan are likely to follow a similar trajectory. No serious person thinks that the war there — launched even earlier, back in 2001 — will end just because U.S. troops are finally packing up to go home. No doubt the American public will forget Afghanistan as quickly as it forgot Iraq. But, as with the Iraq War, the struggle to determine Afghanistan’s fate will continue, its duration and outcome no less uncertain. The truth is something few people in the national security establishment are willing to confront: Confusing capability with utility, the United States knows how to start wars but has seemingly forgotten how to conclude them. Yet concluding war on favorable terms — a concept formerly known as victory — is the object of the exercise. For the United States, victory has become a lost art. This unhappy verdict applies whether U.S. forces operate conventionally (employing high-tech “shock and awe” tactics) or unconventionally (“winning hearts and minds”). As a consequence, instead of promoting stability — perhaps the paramount U.S. interest not only in the Islamic world but also globally — Washington’s penchant for armed intervention since the end of the Cold War, and especially since 9/11, has tended to encourage just the opposite. In effect, despite spilling much blood and expending vast amounts of treasure, U.S. military exertions have played into the hands of our adversaries, misleadingly lumped together under the rubric of “terrorists.” How can we explain this yawning gap between intention and outcomes? Fundamentally, a pronounced infatuation with armed might has led senior civilian officials, regardless of party, and senior military leaders, regardless of service, to

misunderstand and misapply the military instrument. Force is good for some things, pre-eminently for defending what is already yours. Not content to defend, however, the United States in recent decades has sought to use force to extend its influence, control and values. In a world divided between haves and have-nots, between postmodern and premodern, and between those for whom God is dead and those for whom God remains omnipresent, expecting coercion to produce reconciliation, acceptance or submission represents the height of folly. So force employed by the United States in faraway places serves mostly to inflame further resistance, a statement that is true whether we’re talking about putting “boots on the ground” or raining down Hellfire missiles from the heavens. What then is to be done? That which Washington is least capable of undertaking: Those charged with formulating policy must think anew. For starters, that means lowering expectations regarding the political effectiveness of war, which is demonstrably limited. Take force off the metaphorical table to which policymakers regularly refer. Rather than categorizing violence as a preferred option, revive the tradition of treating it as a last resort. Then get serious about evaluating the potential for employing alternative forms of power, chiefly economic and cultural, to advance American interests. The result won’t be a panacea. But it won’t cost as much as open-ended war. And rather than creating new problems, this alternative approach just might solve some old ones. Andrew J. Bacevich is a professor of history and international relations at Boston University. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

COMMENTARY: HANNA KOZLOWSKA

For Saudi women, progress inches along

ere’s what passes for progress for the Saudi Arabian women’s rights movement: The country’s passport office suspended a program that automatically notified via text message a woman’s male guardian if his charge was venturing outside the country’s borders, even if they were traveling together. “The system has been suspended due to some observations, and it will undergo amendment,” Lt. Col. Ahmad al-Laheedan, the spokesperson of Saudi Arabia’s Passports Department, said this week. But after undergoing “amendment,” the program may very well return. “In the past, the system included all the names that were registered. However, in the next phase, it will be optional. The amendments seek to enhance the system to make it better and fulfill all its objectives,” Laheedan said. The program caused controversy when it was discovered in November 2012. Discovered because a man was automatically notified about his wife’s departure when he was traveling with her outside the country. It’s part of an electronic passport system that is meant to facilitate (male) Saudi citizens’ travel. Arabianbusiness.com called the program’s suspension a “historic move towards greater female independence.” That such a development would qualify as “historic” speaks for itself. AFP reported that activists “welcomed the suspension,” but shortly thereafter quoted an Arab News article in which Sabria Jawhar, a Saudi linguistics profes-

Editorial page editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

sor and columnist, said that the “notification process should have never been introduced in the first place because it is humiliating for women.” The move will have little practical impact, as women still need permission from their guardian — be that their husband, brother, father and sometimes even their son — to pass through immigration. But that’s all if they are going outside the country. Being banned from driving, Saudi women can rarely travel farther than their feet can carry them without a male companion. Without the consent of their guardian, Saudi women can’t attend school, get a job or

receive medical treatment. Some women in Saudi Arabia have begun protesting the ban on driving by defying the law that prohibits them from getting behind the wheel. That movement has garnered international attention and has cast a spotlight on a country often considered to be the world’s most repressive in terms of women’s rights. For now, the driving ban remains in place. But, hey, at least in the future, Saudi husbands will have to opt in to track their wives through passport control.

MY VIEW: GINETTE JARAMILLO

A simple solution — love and forgiveness I

against the kind of alienation that comes of being ever the suspect, a fearsome entity whom pedestrians avoid” (“Black Men and Public Space”). Mr. Staples was the victim of Ginette stereotyping when Jaramillo everyone around him assumed him dangerous, rather than respecting him as a fellow human being. Yoshiko Uchida also experienced discrimination, but on a much greater level. After being sent to an internment camp during World War II,

f everybody in the world took the time to love, forgive and be grateful, the world would be a better place. Instead of treating someone badly because they are different — respect them. Forgive people who do you wrong instead of letting it smolder into war. Be thankful for what you have, and bless the less fortunate. I, as an individual, along with others across the globe, can and will carry Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream in the future by loving, forgiving and giving. Love is the basis of Dr. King’s dream. As Brent Staples explained, “Young black males are drastically overrepresented among the perpetrators of … violence. Yet these truths are no solace

Uchida decided she wanted to promote love for all people. Later in her life, she expressed that her goal was “to write of meaningful relationships between human beings, to celebrate our common humanity.” I agree with her and intend to do the same as I work toward living out Dr. King’s dream. Love and respect are one in the same, and the next step forgiveness. Forgiveness is a fairly simple solution to almost any situation in life. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Beloved Community was partially based on forgiving. It emphasized that “conflicts could be resolved peacefully and adversaries could be reconciled through a mutual commitment to nonviolence” (“The

King Philosophy”). I will commit to nonviolence and encourage others to join me. Writing to the world’s leaders, inspiring them to not use violence but rather resolve conflicts peacefully would expand this pursuit greatly. To forgive is a release that would benefit everyone — just as will giving time or money to people in need. Giving to the homeless, the orphans and the elderly is our responsibility as human beings. Already, I have had the honor of feeding the homeless, giving gifts to orphans and sharing my musical ability with the elderly. It brings me joy to see the gratitude and delight on their faces when they are given something. Giving to the community,

MY VIEW: JUSTIN CUMMINGS

tanding along the banks of the Rio Grande, looking into the water, I saw my own blurred reflection. The deep-rooted trees stood strong as the breeze swayed the branches. I remembered the folk song, “We Shall Not be Moved,” and I envisioned the linked arms of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he marched forward with supporters in solidarity. They knew the strength of their conviction and they stood strong with one of the most prominent civil rights leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His voice resonated in the hearts of many Americans. He understood that racial prejudice was unjust and was willing to speak in the face of opposition. By failing to relent, King was able to change the landscape of a segregated culture. He worked tirelessly for racial equality. Fifty years ago, on Aug. 28, 1963, during the March on Washington, D.C., King delivered the most Justin significant civil rights speech Cummings of his career, “I Have a Dream.” For generations, the patriarchs in his family were preachers. He, too, had the gift of voice. In this powerful speech, he used voice merging. The technique used excerpts from previous speeches and passages from Biblical verses to evoke strong passion. While the words were not original, the overall impact was momentous. The speech was one of the most important contributions to the civil rights movement. In the 1950s and 1960s, many African Americans suffered as the result of discrimination. In various communities, there were prejudiced laws regarding employment, education, housing and even the right to vote. While most people clearly saw the divide, few were willing to stand up for change. It took leaders like King to lay the groundwork for a revolution. “Just as lightning makes no sound until it strikes, the Negro Revolution generated quietly,” he wrote in Why We Can’t Wait. His work awakened a country. Eventually, equalrights laws were passed, and discrimination was deemed illegal. However, there was a great deal of work left to be done. In the spirit of King, I want my voice to be heard. While the U.S. Census Bureau racially classifies Hispanics and non-Hispanics as white, there are substantial discrimination issues for Hispanic Americans. Due to immigration issues, Hispanics are often considered inferior in the United States. In some cases, they are refused basic civil rights and reduced educational opportunities. It is my dream for undocumented Hispanics be able to earn the legal opportunity to become United States citizens. The memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has the most merit when action is taken to further his cause. I want to live in a country that affords all people equal opportunities. As a Hispanic American, I am proud that my ancestors were willing to relocate. They knew life in the United States would be difficult. Working to end discrimination is a cause that invigorates my soul. One day I hope to see equality for all people. Justin Cummings attends Santa Fe High School.

even if it’s just our time, can make a huge difference. Through loving without judging, forgiving without begrudging and giving without ceasing, I will continue King’s dream into the future. It will not be easy, but with determination I can do it. The honor of carrying on what this great man started is amazing. He assured us, “The ultimate measure of a man is … where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Let us keep this encouragement as we press on to the future.

A LIFE TO CELEBRATE JENNIFER PRITCHARD/MCT

MY VIEW: MAYA CALHOUN

The courage to stand up, be counted

very third Monday of January, the nation takes time to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is most recognized for his role as a leader in the Civil Rights Movement; where by standing up for change and equality, he impacted the lives of many people. Here are the different ways he has impacted my life: Dr. King affected people’s lives because he stopped segregation. He made it possible for whites and blacks to be able to participate in the same activities, such as eating in the same restaurant or drinking out of the same water fountain. He believed that everyone is equal and should have equal rights. Dr. King truly thought that race does not matter and that we are all united and should get along. King once said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live

in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This change has made a positive impact on my life. Maya This is because Calhoun I can be friends with people from different races, and I don’t have to live in fear. His work went beyond fighting for equal rights. Dr. King also was instrumental in taking a strong stance on ending poverty, a key point which many people fail to remember. He made a suggestion to America. His recommendation was to stop the war in Vietnam. The money could be directed toward boosting the economy. He believed this could provide more

Yourself, Others, and Now “If I am not for myself, who is for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?” — Jewish leader Hillel

f you don’t want to be moved, you must stand up for yourself and others, and do it now. You will see how these ideas are not just important to those that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. or Hillel leaders, but to our generation and future generations. It doesn’t take a great leader to follow these principals and convince others to do the same. The reason I picked this quote to start my paper with is I am Jewish, like Hillel. If I am not for myself, who is for me? You can’t let others be your protectors. You need to take responsibility for your troubles. For example, a few years ago, I was walking on the playground when somebody very nice wished me “Merry Christmas.” I said “Happy Hanukkah.” The boy’s friend whispered in his ear that

opportunities for young Americans of all colors and ages to capture their dreams. Dr. King inspired many people, including me, by his speech. He gave people the courage to stand up for what they believed and to have the freedom of speech. Dr. King had courage. This inspired other people to stand up for their rights and live their dreams without fear. Dr. King had a dream that changed the way people thought. Some disagreed, but he changed enough minds to make a difference. In conclusion, Dr. King impacted my life and the lives of others in many wonderful and inspiring ways. If it weren’t for Dr. Martin Luther King, no one would have equal rights or have the courage to stand up for themselves. Maya Calhoun is a sixth-grader at Piñon Elementary School. She won honorable mention.

“Jews stink!” I said, “If that’s what you think, that’s your loss. Because they don’t.” I walked away. The next day, the very nice boy wished me “Happy Hanukkah.” Dr. King did not like segregation; he did not like being banned from drinking from certain water fountains. So he stood up for himself. The stand he took Deedee is a lot more famous than mine, but Jansen the same idea is there. If I am only for myself, what am I? I was on a play date with two of my classmates, and the little brother of my classmates was lonely, so I went to play with him. The big sister said it was supposed to be a play date for only the girls. I said that he deserved to play as well, and we all ended up playing in the trees. This is similar to how King and others during the Civil Rights Movement stood up for each other. As they bailed each other out of jail, watched each other’s

r. Martin Luther King Jr. impacted many lives, including mine. To this day, Martin Luther King Jr. inspires people from all generations by stating that it is good to be different. He told us that it does not matter what you look like or how you act. I believe he showed us that everyone was born to be amazing in his or her own unique way. Imagine what it would be like if he wouldn’t have worked to change racism. Life would be just like it was back then, when the streets were hectic with people fighting. Every school, restaurant and facility would be separated by color. Our great community would be separated. King believed that Hannah words were stronger Macias than violent actions. Many people followed his dreams. He is the only person who isn’t a president to have his own holiday. He was just 35 years old when he won the Nobel Peace Prize. King spent four months in prison fighting for the rights of his people. King was a Baptist minister who played an important part in American history. He was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. King fought for equality and segregation throughout many parts of the nation. His most famous speech is his “I Have a Dream” speech. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968. When people heard that King had been assassinated, riots broke out everywhere in America. His death caused violence and fires, which is exactly what he didn’t want to happen. His followers were furious, and the people who weren’t said that if they misbehaved they would be killed. They soon went on with their lives, without their hero, and did many things to stop segregation and racism. The way that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. impacted my life is that when I am with my friends, peers and teammates, in my heart it doesn’t matter what race or color they are, or what they look like. They are my friends. I realize that everybody is diverse, but to me it doesn’t matter because I am their friend. I play with many kids in my neighborhood, even if we have differences. I think that being different is good, because if nothing were different, the world would be boring. King inspired and told me that I can be friends with anyone I choose despite our differences, especially our color or ethnicity. To this day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is in our hearts, minds and is remembered as a great hero to all of us who believe in his dream. Hannah Macias is a sixth-grader at Piñon Elementary School.

backs and trained each other for situations that might occur during their marches, they showed support for one another. I used my influence just like King used his. I convinced my friends to include the little brother; he had me on his team. And if not now, when? Do it now; don’t wait. Recently, I was running a 1K kid’s race. I saw a younger girl, and I slowed down, encouraged her and started running with her. We crossed the finish line together. I could have finished a little quicker, but this was more rewarding. If I had seen her but didn’t act, I might not have gotten that feeling of happiness. In the end, taking action and doing it right away gave me a rewarding feeling. This is what Dr. King did. He took action when he saw a chance. He kept going, and his ideas are still going through the universe and affecting my life and the lives of many other people.

Leaders must back creative economy City’s health study should D be broad-based

n the past several weeks, our City Council has weighed some serious and positive proposals for a thorough and expansive evaluation of our health care in Santa Fe. These proposals come at an excellent time. Perhaps never in our nation’s history have we been asked to confront the changes in health care that we confront now. The health care landscape is both challenging and exciting. The country is asking us to create solutions to the health care problems that have plagued us for the past generation. We believe that all of us, including our local hospital, must play a vital role in examining and evaluating our health care system. With this in mind, Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center fully supports and embraces the proposal being considered by the council to conduct a health care assessment in the next few months. The time is right. Change is happening as we speak. The Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare,” started Jan. 1. Now, more than ever, our community ought to come forward and express itself. We are ready to listen and respond. One way to do this is to embrace the resolution by Councilor Peter Ives to have a working group made up of community members, hospital personnel (including nurses and physicians), and nonprofits to make a thorough study of where we are — and where we need to go. We support this process. The New Mexican has editorialized that we should have a more narrow focus to this effort. We cannot agree. While operations, plans and finances at the hospital itself can, and should, be an essential part of the dialogue, it is critical to include all our health care partners and many important issues in a discussion about what needs to be done to improve the health of our whole community. For instance, we should also consider what we in health care call “population health.” We have recently completed a study that reveals some remarkable challenges for our community. There are serious problems with teen pregnancy, mental health and drug use. For instance, more than 30 percent of pregnant women in Santa Fe County do not receive prenatal care. We have an obligation to do something about these things, and we hope that this working group can take up

some of these issues. Furthermore, this is a tremendous opportunity to bring the community together and study the important issues facing us today, if we handle this review in a thorough and contemplative manner. The Affordable Care Act provides many new challenges and opportunities, as we know from reading the news, but right now our job is to provide quality health care. We must perform and help make health care work. Our working group can help us successfully confront issues such as indigent care, higher deductibles and health care that may still be unaffordable. Another serious issue to discuss is the Sole Community Provider money that will be considered by the upcoming session of the legislature. Money to hospitals has been cut dramatically in the last few years, and now the Legislature must help find a solution to care for our neediest citizens. In addition, we all know about the significant cuts in Medicare and Medicaid and how they are impacting health care. If there is no resolution, it could affect services in the long term. We would like your help in finding a solution. Lastly, there is a misperception about the ownership of the hospital. I am the president of SVH Support, a local nonprofit that owns 50 percent of Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. Our board is made up of local members, and the hospital board has a majority of local members. I am the chairman of the Christus St. Vincent board as well, and I am local. Our partnership with Christus has brought untold benefits to our community, but the public ought to know that we are also still a local hospital. We look forward to engaging with the City Council, Santa Fe County and the working group to improve health care for our entire community, which we can only do by working together. Christus St. Vincent, your local hospital, SVH Support, and Christus Health, the members partners, are ready and willing to be part of the solution. Dave Delgado is the president of SVH Support, a local nonprofit that owns 50 percent of Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and partners with Christus Health to form Christus St. Vincent.

Un gran sueño Y

o se que Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fue un soñador muy valiente que lucho por igualdad de derechos de los afroamericanos. En ese tiempo existía segregación entre las razas. ”Mantener a las personas separadas se llama segregación” (La Historia del Derecho al Voto Afroamericano, Carol Domblewski, 2010). Todos los días me despierto en la mañana y voy a la escuela porque cuando sea grande quiero tener un buen trabajo. Un buen trabajo para mi, es un trabajo donde ayudas a personas que no tienen mucha libertad, ayudar a personas que no tienen voz. ¿Sabias que hay personas en los Estados Unidos que no tienen voz? Esas personas que no tienen voz no tienen muchos derechos en los Estados Unidos. A esas personas las llamamos inmigrantes y los inmigrantes son personas que vienen a los Estados Unidos a encontrar una mejor vida, están luchando para poder hacer mejores cosas en este país. King tenía un buen trabajo, era un trabajo donde ayudó a los afroamericanos a tener una voz. Tener voz significa poder votar y tener los mismos derechos que los blancos. Esa no fue una lucha fácil en el

tiempo que vivía este gran líder, pero nunca se dio por vencido. El conocía las necesidades de su raza, de su gente. Yo conozco la vida de los inmigrantes porque mis papás son inmigrantes. Ellos me trajeron a este país porque quieren que yo tenga una mejor vida. ¿Qué es una mejor vida? Una mejor vida es tener oportunidad de estudiar y tener donde vivir. También es tener a la familia unida. Así es como comienza mi sueño pero el sueño no es de una sola persona, es de toda la familia. Hay muchas familias viviendo en esta situación en los Estados Unidos actualmente. Cuando yo escuché a King decir en su discurso “Yo tengo un sueño”, sentí que yo también tenía un sueño y para conseguir ese sueño necesito luchar. Ahora es tiempo para estudiar, prepararme y estar listo para cambiar mi vida. Un país que esta separado es más débil , mientras que un país que esta unido es más fuerte y poderoso. Yo quiero un país más fuerte, más poderoso y más inteligente donde vivir. Ese país es los Estados Unidos de América. Isaías López won an honorable mention in the third- through fifth-grade category.

uring this campaign season, many arts and culture groups have been discussing the critical need for Santa Fe to tackle, on many fronts, the fact that we are losing our young and creative talent. Santa Fe certainly cultivates creative talent, but retention rates of this talent are low. That means any capital invested in creative talent ends up benefiting communities elsewhere. The complex question continues to be how Santa Fe can retain its creatives of all mediums. Such focus turns on the importance of entrepreneurs and small businesses that have been a central theme in discussions of national recovery. On the local level, city leaders understand the importance of entrepreneurs, who create new jobs and play a pivotal role in creating a unique sense of place that enhances a community’s quality of life. Creative entrepreneurs are investors in talent — their own or other people’s. The majority of people working in the creative industries tend to be self-employed. This grouping is a key driver in the creative economy in a movement afoot — the artistentrepreneur generation. Creatives are increasingly sought after by progressive urban centers and businesses. However, for many, innovation and ideating are threatened by impossibility through a cost of living that is too high and

a community that is not wholly inclusive of their interests. More importantly, the artist-entrepreneur is redefining what it means to be an artist. They are taking action, building networks, investing in Talia Kosh neighborhoods and sparking excitement in cities everywhere. Such things are contained inside an artist’s cognitive toolbox and are uniquely valuable — not just to “the art world” but to the world at large. Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception, puts all of this another way: We’re in a time of transition from the Industrial Economy to a Connected Economy: “The Connected Economy is about non-conformity, exploration, risk-taking, personal production, active participation. There are no winners, only players. In the connected economy, helping other players helps keep the game going. And it’s all about keeping the game going.” The Connected Economy doesn’t need workers. It needs artists. “Artists are people who have the ability to see the world as it is, and then see what it lacks, and go make it.” In every new creation, undertaking and gain, there is risk. What this requires,

creatively, is facing up to the discomfort involved in the creative process, and being less fearful of possible outcome, learning from said outcomes and continuing to create. In his book A Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink describes our future as one of “Big Ideas,” how it is important in this connected economy to emphasize “forging relationship rather than executing transactions, tackling novel challenges instead of solving routine problems and synthesizing the big picture … ” Creatives are leading the way on this front, and there is much government can learn. There is much incentive to support our creative entrepreneurs. Santa Fe can be at the forefront of this, if it so chooses, as all the opportunity is sitting at its doorstep. It is time for Santa Fe to revise its economic development activities to reflect these exciting shifts that can change all of our realities for the better. Ask your candidates for mayor and City Council where they stand on this and support the leaders who are open to learning and leading in this creative economy and our exciting connected world.

Marriage equality good for New Mexico business N ew Mexico has welcomed people for centuries and has always celebrated both our interconnectedness as well as our differences. New Mexico has been home to Hispanic and Native American people for many centuries and, more recently, to Anglo populations. Our diversity is part of what sets us apart and what we treasure. That’s why it’s not surprising that we have long welcomed and accepted gay and lesbian people in our families, neighborhoods and workplaces. As mayors of two major New Mexico cities, representing businesses as well as promoting the aspirations of everyday New Mexicans, we were elated by our Supreme Court’s decision to grant marriage equality to everyone in the state. Clearly, every person deserves this basic freedom. We also know that marriage equality brings fairness to the workplace and presents our state to all our customers, whether local or visiting, as a welcoming place to live, work and visit. We see marriage equality as a series of big pluses — from attracting and keeping the best and the brightest employees to contributing to our state’s bottom line. In fact, according to a recent study by the Williams

Institute, allowing same-sex marriage statewide over the next three years will bring in nearly $800,000 in gross receipts tax revenues for New Mexico. And that doesn’t begin to touch what it will mean for our hospitality business, which relies on both in-state and out-of-state spending on engagements, weddings and, yes, anniversaries. Tourism has always been a big driver of our economy, second only to mining. Robust tourism doesn’t just benefit a few, it can make the difference between red and black ink for many of us. Surely, we would all benefit from presenting New Mexico as a “Land of Enchantment” for every family. In New Mexico, we believe in treating everyone as we would like to be treated ourselves. That daily mantra is something our business owners live every day. They want an inviting place of commerce for their customers, and that begins with treating every employee equally and with

Governor played a key role at SFI

was pleased to see the article (“Santa Fe Institute celebrates 30 years,” Jan. 6). I first learned of the Santa Fe Institute in the 1990s, when I was working with former New Mexico Gov. Jack M. Campbell (1963-66) on his autobiography, which was incomplete when he died in 1999. (Copies of the unfinished manuscript are on file in the state archives and at The University of New Mexico.) Campbell was a friend of George Cowan, who was not only an award-winning scientist but also a community activist and founder of the Los Alamos National Bank. In Mitchell Waldrop’s book, Complexity; The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos, he outlined the origins of SFI: “Meanwhile, there was the matter of incorporation; if you’re going to start asking people for money, you really ought to have something besides your own personal checking account to put into it. So Cowan and Nick Metropolis went to Jack Campbell, an old friend who had once been governor of the state and who was now head of a … law firm in Santa Fe. Campbell was enthusiastic. He’d wanted to do something like this all the time he was governor, he said. … Campbell agreed to provide his firm’s services pro bono to draw up the incorporation papers and bylaws.” Campbell was the first governor to appoint a scientific adviser, Dr. Harold M. Busey,

a group leader in Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Nuclear Reactor Division. Major state construction projects completed during his administration included a new state Capitol building (the Roundhouse), a New Mexico State Library building and the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. After his two two-year terms in the Governor’s Office, Campbell became involved in a variety of national and regional programs to promote long-range planning in higher education, nuclear energy, space technology and telecommunications. In the 1970s, he addressed international conferences on the energy crisis and the use of technology in education, including a speech to the First Institutional Congress on Technology Assessment at The Hague, Netherlands (May 30, 1973). He helped establish New Mexico Technet in Albuquerque and served as its president from 1986 to 1988. Technet was considered a forerunner of what was known as the “information superhighway.” (Campbell was a state representative from Chaves County when I first met him after coming to Santa Fe in November 1958 as a reporter for United Press International. Four years later, I became involved in his campaign for governor as a media representative. After his election in November 1962, he asked me to serve as his press secretary.)

A Message from Bill Dimas A Business Friendly City Hall I believe that we must cultivate a more business friendly City Hall. As your mayor, I will appoint a 10 member City Business Council (CBC) consisting of small business owners, entrepreneurs, and economic development experts. Their charge will be to access current regulations in identifying those which are overly punitive to businesses and hamper their ability to profit and flourish. One idea that merits more study is for the city to provide a “fast track, one stop” portal for all business transactions involving fees, licenses and permits. Other similar initiatives would be studied with specific recommendations presented to the Governing Body for review and approval. A New Look at Tax Incentives for Business To attract new business to the community, the practice has been for local governments to offer generous tax incentives, usually by reducing or foregoing taxation for a period of time until the business is established and productive. The problem is that it doesn’t work. Albuquerque, for example, lost almost $16 million in tax revenue when a solar panel manufacturer drawn to the city by tax incentives failed within two years. The notion of tax breaks to draw businesses must be re-examined. In fact, it should be completely turned around. Instead of “paying” businesses to locate here, tax breaks should be given as a reward for success. In other words, pay tax incentives to companies after they have created jobs and proven effective at improving the local economy. This is not a new idea. It has been the practice in the state of Utah since 2008 and the results have been spectacular: 25,000 new jobs, billions “Bringing Our Community Together” in new state wages, capital investment and tax revenue. New businesses which have succeeded have claimed rebates on sales tax, corporate income tax and withholding taxes, as great as 30% and for as much as 5 years. This tactic has drawn many small businesses but also large companies, like Adobe, Boeing, eBay and Oracle – attracted by the competition for incentives based on merit. Some of these incentives may require legislative approval. As your mayor, I will work with our legislative delegation to explore how we can best achieve these goals. The evidence is clear. Our old tax incentive system is broken; the new tax incentive system works. Time to change.

am responding to the article (“Board rejects plan to demolish Defouri Bridge,” Jan. 15). I am a wheelchair user and am well acquainted with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. I cannot believe the comment by board member Karen Walker, who is quoted as saying, “I don’t care what the code is.” This lack of respect for the disabled is very prevalent in this city. I do appreciate the charm of this unique city but find it very frustrating to get around. I would like to challenge every builder, contractor and public official to stay in a wheelchair for just one day and try to negotiate the streets, lack of sidewalks and narrow doorways of Santa Fe; I call these clueless folk the “temporarily abled.” It could happen to anyone at any time. Don’t take your ability to walk for granted. With all the baby boomers

nearing retirement age, the need for accessible housing will increase. Why is this city lagging behind with making places wheelchair accessible? Often I take my service dog out walking to exercise on the bike trails in my power chair. In order to get to the bike trails, I have to carefully negotiate sidewalks in terrible shape, with broken glass and other debris and bad curb cuts on a busy street for five blocks, where the average speed is 50 mph, not the posted 25 mph. When I come to the crosswalk by the train tracks, only 50 percent of cars stop for me. Thanks to those who do stop at the wellmarked crosswalk, and shame on those drivers of cars who don’t. It’s not easy being in a wheelchair in this town. Santa Fe, show a little more compassion! Alice Lee is a writer and poet living in Santa Fe.

C Activists push candidates on deportations All three mayoral hopefuls support city’s stance on immigrants, but some say that’s not enough By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Local governments across the U.S. are working with immigration officials to identify and deport undocumented immigrants. But in Santa Fe, the three candidates running for mayor say they want to keep the city a friendly place for immigrants, regard-

less of their legal status. All three mayoral candidates — Javier Gonzales and City Councilors Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas — say they support a resolution passed by the City Council in 1999 forbidding use of city resources in identifying and apprehending undocumented immigrants. Immigration activists say they welcome the candidates’ support

of the resolution but say they should look for more ways to help prevent deportations. The resolution doesn’t prevent undocumented people from getting arrested and potentially deported — especially if they commit other crimes. But it “provides a sense of safety to folks,” said Bushee, who introduced it. She added that the resolution is something the city should be proud of. The two other candidates expressed similar views. “We have 400 years of history

behind us that show that we’re a much better community when we embrace diversity and various cultures, than when we try to push them away,” Gonzales said. Dimas said, “I don’t think the city should be spending money for deportations. … That’s a federal government thing.” In a recent mayoral forum, Bushee took a shot at Gonzales, who in 2000, as a county commissioner, voted in favor of a jail to house immigrants who were convicted of nonviolent crimes. Gonzales later dropped his

Outlook is ‘pretty dire’ A skier takes a jump at Ski Santa Fe in December 2010. The prolonged drought in New Mexico could take a heavy toll on the state’s outdoor recreation industry.

By J.R. Logan The Taos News

AOS — For decades, Steve Harris and his company, Far Flung Adventures, have ferried wide-eyed visitors down the iconic Rio Grande Gorge when spring runoff transforms the river into a roiling freight train. But Mother Nature has so far been stingy with snowfall this winter. Snowpacks in the Upper Rio Grande and Sangre de Cristo basins were 75 percent of normal as of Jan. 15. Skiers and snowboarders are praying for relief, and there is a strong possibility the boating season will be far from spectacular. “It’s pretty dire,” Harris said in an interview last week. “This will be our fourth straight drought year, and I’m not just certain that I’ll be able to survive it.” Harris and many of his fellow river rats believe that this prolonged drought is part of a normal cycle of wet and dry periods. There will be big seasons in the near future. The Rio Grande will rage again. But long-term predictions based on climate change models portend sizable reductions in Rio Grande flows. A recent report released by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation estimates average inflows to Rio Grande tributaries in Colorado and New Mexico will drop by about a third by the end of the century. The report says the average temperature in the Upper Rio Grande region rose 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 40 years — a rate that’s about double the global average, and one that is likely to significantly alter

the hydrology of the basin. Warmer temperatures mean less snow accumulation and, come spring, less runoff. That’s less irrigation water for farmers, less storage for reservoirs and, in Taos County, less flow for rafters. Like many rafting companies around Taos, Far Flung leans heavily on being able to run the Taos Box — a remote, 17-mile section of whitewater in the heart of a recently designated national monument. The Box includes several Class 3 and 4 rapids with names like “Upchuck” and “Enema,” and is a big draw for adventure seekers in the early season. If the river doesn’t hit about 550 cubic feet per second, it can be impassable. That means no rafts and no busloads pouring into town. Raft guides like Harris worry another dry year coupled with growing publicity about drought and wildfire in New Mexico could steer visitors elsewhere. The immediate reality of the current drought has some guides changing tactics

that could prove useful in the future. Cisco Guevara of Los Ríos River Runners has been investing in a fleet of funyaks — two-person inflatable rafts paddled by customers that he says are ideal in low-water conditions. “With climate change and drought, it’s just a fact of life that the river may have less water in it,” Guevara said in an interview Wednesday. “The whole idea of what’s normal, of what’s average, is changing. As time goes on, we’re going to have more dry years.” With his rafting business on the verge, Harris remains deeply involved in water issues, fighting for more constant flows on the Chama River, and lobbying for smarter use and planning statewide. For him, the drought is a red flag. “I’ve got this crazy notion that this is a message from nature that we need to start to be able to cooperate better around water,” he said.

throughout the state. The cadets are from agencies around the state, including the Santa Fe Police Department. The new class comes as police departments and sheriff’s offices report a shortage of officers and deputies.

Albuquerque zoo welcomes siamang ALBUQUERQUE — Zookeepers at the Albuquerque BioPark are celebrating the birth of a siamang. Native to the forests of Malaysia, siamangs are the largest species of lesser apes and are in the gibbon family. The tailless apes have long arms and lightweight bodies, making them perfectly designed for swinging through the treetops.

Lobbyists for Santa Fe Public Schools told a group of teachers and potential education activists Saturday that the school district’s top priority in the upcoming legislative session is increasing the amount of “above-the-line” funds for education — which means local districts have more control over how the funds are spent. “Below-the-line” funds, on the other hand, give the state Public Education Department more control over spending. The above-the-line vs. below-the-line battle promises to be one of the most intensely fought fights of the session, which begins Tuesday. Lobbyists Linda Siegle and Virginia Vigil conducted a workshop at the district’s Educational Services Center for citizens interested in lobbying legislators for education funds. Though the school district has several priorities in the session, Siegle said the “abovethe-line” issue is the one that should get attention. The Public Education Department’s budget, as proposed by the administration, includes $45 million in “above-the-line” funds and $55 million in “below-theline” funds. These funds include more than $10 million for “rewarding highly effective teachers,” as well as statewide reading initiatives and early-childhood programs. State Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera has argued that below-the-line funds help the department hold districts accountable for the money spent. The funds are tied to academic achievement. Many superintendents have argued that the state should give them more leeway with spending. A handout distributed to workshop attendees Saturday said that “above-the-line” spending means more money flows through the state’s school funding formula, which provides districts “with direct control over how this money is spent.” Below-the-line funding, meanwhile, “is designated by the state for districts to spend on specific items, programs, or reforms, which may not address an individual district’s needs.” The House Appropriations and Finance Committee and the Senate Finance Committee are primarily responsible for crafting the budget, Siegle said. There are only three Santa Fe-area lawmakers who sit on those committees — Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, Rep. Stephanie Garcia-Richard (who also is on the House Education Committee) and Sen. Nancy Rodriguez. Other local legislators “really don’t have much say about the budget,” Siegle said. “But you can always go to your friends in other school districts and tell them to talk to their members [who sit on those committees].” Siegle and Vigil urged those present to “pack the room with parents and advocates” when the committees hear the education budget. Other priorities of the school district listed on the

Deputy arrested in child custody dispute FARMINGTON — A San Juan County Sheriff’s Office deputy and his wife have been arrested after state police tried to take custody of the

deputy’s 6-year-old stepson. Authorities say 50-year-old Kenneth Clarke, of Aztec, has been charged with suspicion of obstruction after the couple tried to drive away from investigators Wednesday. The Daily Times reports Joy Clarke also has been charged with obstruction and filing a false report. Capt. Brice Current says Clarke was put on paid administrative leave this week when the office learned of the state police investigation. New Mexico State Police say they started an investigation Dec. 30 after the couple accused the boy’s father of sexually assaulting the child. Police say there was no evidence and they were required to return to the boy to his father. Staff and wire reports

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have guarded the belief. There is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which Jesus, the Judge, will give to me. In the early morning of January 13, 2014, Cipriano Martinez left the loving arms of his family and crossed the veil into the loving arms of Jesus where he heard the words, "Well done my good and faithful servant." Cippy was born in Pecos, grew up in Pojoaque and went to school at St. Michael’s High School. For many years he held the title of State Champion in the 880-yard run. He met and married Amelia Medrano and they had seven children. Cippy later married Laura Rodenz and became a part of Laura and her four daughters’ lives. Cippy was a sergeant in the New Mexico National Guard and, after leaving the guard, became a Professional Land Surveyor where he eventually retired from a 40 year business. After retirement he spent 16 years working with various committees during sessions of the New Mexico State Legislature. Cippy loved the mountains of northern New Mexico and farming in the Pojoaque Valley. He fished every river and stream and taught his sons, grandsons and great grandsons to fish, hunt and work the land. He was well known for the green chile that came out of his garden. Cippy is survived by his wife Laura, his children Bernadette Martinez, Angela Duran and husband Phillip, Andrew Martinez and wife Onnie, Danny Martinez and wife Kathy, Annette Perez and husband Michael, Elaine Esquibel and husband Danny, Sonja Rodenz, Gretchen Feucht and her husband James, Marcia Allen and Nadine Tucker and her husband Tony.

EMILIO "E.J." CANTOU

IN MEMORY OF JEAN SETH 1922 - 2013 Jean Seth, the founder of the first art gallery on Canyon Road, died a year ago, Jan. 19, at her home in Santa Fe. Her father Allan MacGillivray and his three brothers had come from Scotland to raise sheep in New Mexico when it was still a territory. The family owned ranches in Magdalena and the Estancia Valley and a farm in the Las Animas Valley of Colorado. Before Jean was born on July 22, 1922, her father died. Her mother Della Comer MacGillivray (Grandella) raised her and her brothers Allan, William and Finley alone. The family moved to Santa Fe when Jean was six, and she attended the public schools here. After graduating from Santa Fe High School, for two years she attended Mills College in California. After college, Jean worked for the FBI in New York, a job she loved, in charge of paying the agents, who often showed up in their disguises. Returning to Santa Fe, she worked for Tony Taylor who owned the Old Mexico Shop. She became reacquainted with Oliver Seth, a Santa Fe High graduate seven years her senior. He had returned from World War II, having served in the Battle of the Bulge, and the Normandy invasion. Oliver’s father was J.O. Seth, the lawyer who founded the Seth Montgomery law firm, and often traveled the state on the narrow gauge railroad to visit his clients. Oliver was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Stanford University, with a law degree from Yale. After visiting the Gallup Indian Ceremonial and many other Native dances while courting, the couple was married at the First Presbyterian Church in Santa Fe and honeymooned in Yellowstone. Oliver was an attorney at the Seth Montgomery firm. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy appointed him to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. He died in 1996. Jean started the first art gallery on Canyon Road in the early 1960s, at a time when the street had only a few artist studios. She gave many young artists a start in their careers, including Ramon Kelley, Dan Bodelson, Ben Ortega, Bill Berra and Valerie Graves. One of her goals was to offer beginning collectors fine art at affordable prices, although she also carried works by Charles Russell and Georgia O’Keeffe. She served on the first Santa Fe Opera board, as well as on the boards of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and the Northern Arizona University Museum, the Women’s Board of the Museum of New Mexico and the advisory board for the Smithsonian National Museum of Art. She was honored by being named a Santa Fe Living Treasure in 2007.

Annual holiday drive draws $183K to help families 151 households receive aid thanks to 818 donors

Funeral services and memorials 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CARLOS SENA JULY 26, 1927 JANUARY 17, 2013

By Matt Pusatory The New Mexican

The New Mexican’s Empty Stocking Fund collected more than $183,000 over the 2013 holiday season for individuals and families in need — such as Mike Martinez, a local disabled veteran. Martinez, who is retired and lives with his grandchildren, had gotten behind on his rent and utility bills. His utilities were turned off, and he eventually was evicted, but with help from the Empty Stocking Fund, he was able to get back on his feet. “[The Empty Stocking Fund] came through. That’s what I needed. I just needed a little help right now,” Martinez said. “Everything is turning around for the best,” he added. “Next year will be my turn to contribute.” The fund prioritized rent and utilities this year, making sure people were able to stay in their homes and stay warm during the winter. The fundraising campaign, which saw a slight decline from the 2012 campaign, received donations ranging in size from $1 to more than $20,000. Gifts poured in from all across the country, with the donations averaging $222. One company donated everything a family would need for a merry Christmas — a tree, presents and a turkey

with all the fixings for Christmas dinner, worth a total of about $500. Many donors gave money in honor of loved ones, and a couple of donors gave in memory of Nelson Mandela. The Empty Stocking Fund has been a program of The Santa Fe New Mexican for close to 30 years. It aids applicants who need one-time assistance with anything from heating costs to new tires. This year, the fund raised $183,128. There were 818 donors and approximately 650 applicants seeking help. While there was no major change in the number of applicants, donations were down a bit from previous years. Last year, the fund raised $185,383 from 915 donors. But this year’s average gift donation rose by $20 from the previous year. The Empty Stocking Fund, administered jointly by First National Bank of Santa Fe, The Salvation Army, the Santa Fe Community Foundation and Presbyterian Medical Services, also gave out gift cards to some applicants. This was the first year that Social Security numbers were required of those applying for aid. To date, Angela Trujillo at the First National Bank of Santa Fe has paid out $166,001 to applicants, assisting 151 households through The Empty Stocking Fund.

CONCERT TODAY ! Be inspired with Bruckner’s joyous Symphony No. 4 the ‘Romantic’ and Mozart’s Exsultate, jubilate featuring rising opera star, soprano Rachel Hall and James Feddeck, 2013 winner of the George Solti Conducting Award and recently, the Assistant Conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra. The Cleveland Plain Dealer celebrated Feddeck’s tenure noting “his legacy of highly distinguished and memorable performances to his credit.” Soaring to a grand sonic finale, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 evokes the age of chivalry, German forests and knights on horses... Rachel Hall was praised for her mainstage debut with The Santa Fe Opera as a “musically nuanced, clear soprano with a perfectly charming stage presence” (Ionarts, Charles T. Downey) in her role as Barbarina in Le Nozze di Figaro.

THE NEW MEXICAN Sunday, January 19, 2014

Push: ICE continues to deport millions Continued from Page C-1 tion, 103 cities, towns and counties in 33 states have enacted policies similar to Santa Fe’s 1999 resolution. But regardless of sanctuary politics, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, has been deporting immigrants through a program know as Secure Communities. According to ICE, 368,644 immigrants were deported from the country in fiscal 2013 — and 1.9 million total under the Obama administration, a record for a presidency. A total of 2,338 immigrants have been deported from New Mexico since 2009, when Doña Ana County joined the Secure Communities program. Santa Fe County joined in 2011 and since then, 117 immigrants have been deported from here. Pablo Sedillo, county public safety director, told the city’s immigration committee that he does everything possible to deny ICE access to the jail’s inmates. “We participate by default,” said Kristine Mihelcic, a spokeswoman for Santa Fe County, explaining that the federal government has made the program mandatory across the country. Secure Communities is a fingerprint-sharing program that allows immigration officials to identify county inmates by using the FBI’s criminal database. Local police agencies have long shared with the FBI the fingerprints of people who are arrested or booked into custody to see if they have a criminal record. Under Secure Communities, immigration officials cross-reference a suspect’s fingerprints with ICE’s immigration database to check if the person is lawfully in the country. If ICE suspects the person is in the country illegally, agents will ask the jail to put a hold on

the inmate until immigration officials can interrogate them. Even though the mayoral candidates say they support the 1999 resolution, none would forcefully speak out against immigration officials picking up immigrants from the county jail. “I try to stay away from the federal issues as much as I can. I don’t like dealing with federal issues on the City Council level,” Dimas said. “I’m not in any position to circumvent what the federal government does.” But advocates say that if the candidates don’t plan to go against the feds, they should start thinking of ways the city can help immigrants. “They can say they welcome immigrants, but we want to find ways to stop deportations,” said Juan Carlos Deoses, an organizer with a local immigrantrights group, New Mexico Dreamers in Action. Deoses said he wants the city to help promote Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows certain immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to apply for a two-year work permit and avoid deportation. He called the program a stopgap until lawmakers legalize immigrants without status. “We want to make sure that immigrants do feel safe in Santa Fe [with a new mayor],” said Alejandra Seluja, the chairwoman of the city’s immigration committee. She added that it’s important for the committee to keep a dialogue going with law enforcement to make sure immigrants can feel that they are not being targeted. Local immigrant-rights groups, meanwhile, are hoping Congress will pass legislation that would legalize the estimated 85,000 undocumented immigrants living in New Mexico.

Secrets: Parents urged to pack room Continued from Page C-1 handout include: u Maintaining the 5.8 percent level of contributions to education from the state’s Land Grant Permanent Fund. The distributions, which come from interest earned on the fund, is scheduled to go down to 5.5 percent this year, then down to 5 percent in

2016. Rep. Jim Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, will sponsor a constitutional amendment to maintain the 5.8 percent. Opponents say using too much of the interest could endanger the fund in the future. u Amend the school funding formula to increase spending on programs for low-income students.

After he graduated, they returned to McIntosh, but eventually opened a practice in Santa Fe. Dr. Bolinger died Jan. 4, 1964. In 1981, she was married to Lloyd Blevins. He also preceded her in death in 1987. In 1993, Blevins moved to Portales to make her home. She was an active member of the First United Methodist

Hot doggin’ it

YOUR NEIGHBORS RACHEL REDD

Rachel Redd recently got the opportunity to ride in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, something she’s wanted to do since learning about the roadster at a summer camp as a high-schooler. COURTESY PHOTOS

Santa Fe veterinarian fulfills lifelong dream of riding in an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile By Ben Swan For The New Mexican

or the record, Rachel Redd really loves hot dogs. She especially enjoys those made with cheddar cheese in the middle — which she calls the “bomb” — and pines for the old cheese-andjalapeño Oscar Mayer dogs that are no longer available. The Santa Fe veterinarian’s obsession with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, however, has little to do with franks. It’s more about the smile the 27-foot-long, hot-dog-shaped vehicle puts on so many faces when it passes through communities across the nation. There’s a mystique about the vehicle and the people who drive them — Hotdoggers, as they are called — that made Redd seriously consider becoming a member of the team. “To me, it’s like one of the only jobs in the world where people are always happy to see you,” Redd said. “And you get to drive all around the country — who else gets to do that and get paid?” Her passion for the vehicle launched her college career, it has prompted friends to shower her with Wienermobile memorabilia, and it recently culminated with the fulfillment of her lifelong dream of riding in the luxurious roadster. The lure of the Wienermobile was strong for Redd when she was a high-schooler in Truth or Consequences, where her family had moved to run a pecan farm after her father had retired from his law practice in Albuquerque. She had learned about it at a summer camp from a counselor who had driven it, and she first laid eyes on it during her junior year in high school, when she attended an FFA convention in Louisville, Ky. There, in the middle of the huge convention

hall, sat the Wienermobile in all its glory. “When I saw it, I thought, ‘This has got to be a cool job,’ ” she said. “Because it goes to all these cool places like the National FFA Convention. That’s when I started looking into it.” Her research revealed that Hotdoggers commit to one-year stints of driving all over the nation. But the hitch was college — Oscar Mayer Hotdoggers are recruited as college seniors. “Most people who drive it have some kind of human relations or communications degree, and I wasn’t planning to go to college,” she said. “I wanted to be something dumb like an actress.” Her movie-star ambitions didn’t sit well with her mom, Redd said, but Roberta Redd quickly warmed to the idea of the Wienermobile, since driving it required a degree.

“She jumped on board and said I should pick a major in case it doesn’t work out — like going to vet school.” Rachel Redd’s Wienermobile dreams only grew in college. As a freshman at Texas Tech, she gave a presentation about who she wanted to be in four years, and she interviewed the camp counselor about his stint as a driver. She won an award for her creativity. “They all laughed at me,” she said, “and started calling me the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile girl, and that was my name, but I didn’t care. I thought, ‘I’m going to be driving that.’ ” Redd eventually transferred to New Mexico State College and became more serious about pursuing a veterinary degree, but she continued to send applications to the Hotdogger University. Whether or not she got a letter from the school in Madison, Wis., has become family lore. “There comes a time when you tell the story so much, it becomes blurred,” she said. “I think I got a letter from them, at least that’s what I tell people … but I’m not

Small talk — the long and the short of it R

ecently, I’ve had several clients requesting help with the art of making small talk. I wish they could have experienced the Leadership Santa Fe mixer I attended this week that followed the speed dating platform. Participants were seated in pairs, and each had 90 seconds to talk. It was incredibly efficient, and there was no time for an awkward silence. When the buzzer sounded, you moved on to the next table, wishing you had more time. If only all networking and social events provided instruction for the tongue-tied. In an age consumed by abbreviated text messages and email, how do we develop or polish our ability to communicate face to face? My advice is to always be prepared and even rehearse to build up confidence. Start by shifting anxiety away from your fears of what you may or may not say to Bizia Greene thinking about what you can gain Etiquette Rules! from meeting a new person. It’s also helpful to have a goal in mind, especially for a professional function, so ask yourself, “Why I am here and what do I want to get out of it?” And remember, there are just as many people out there feeling self doubt, like you, who will welcome your approach. If you’re the type who is always at a loss for words, I recommend keeping five to 10 questions memorized in your mental back pocket to pull out as needed. These questions can evolve with the seasons and be edited based on the audience and age group. Use open-ended questions to stimulate conversation. I find yes or no questions to be full of stop signs, and then you’re left wondering what direction to go in. Here are some examples that might help when the cat’s got your tongue: u “How do you know the host?” u “It’s awards season. What films do you recommend?” u “How did you spend the holidays?” u “What New Year’s resolutions did you make and/ or break?” u “How is business?” u “I’ve heard so much about your business. What projects are you currently working on?” u “What universities are you looking at and why?” u “This painting is powerful. Tell me about the artist.” It’s also helpful to review the week’s and day’s events to provide additional talking points. Now that you’ve got something to chat about, how do you make that happen? Upon arrival, check your worries and stresses at the door. We are all responsible for the energy we bring into a room, so a deep breath and smile will go a long way to relaxing you and making you approachable. Stand up straight, make eye contact and show those pearly whites. Entering a room is a daunting experience if guests are clustered together in multiple groups. If it feels awkward or rude to break into a circle of conversation, try heading for a buffet table or bar. There are always people milling about, and it’s a safe and easy way to start talking. Try, “What have you sampled here? It looks delicious.” After an exchange, introduce yourself and give a one-liner about why you’re there, how you know the host or your profession — it all depends on the nature of the gathering, and it often leads to a pleasant dialogue. If you’re feeling confident, you might take interest in something the person is wearing or reading and ask them about it off the cuff. Consider heading to a table that is mostly full rather than empty. It provides more opportunity to engage. Simply ask, “Is this seat taken?” And if it is — it’s not a personal rejection toward you — it’s about the chair. Move on and repeat. As the conversations develop follow these rules: u A compliment is an easy ice breaker. u Discover what you have in common. u Focus on the other person. u Be an active listener. u Pay attention to your body language. u Know how to exit gracefully. For additional tips, pick up the book What Do You Say When … by Florence Isaacs. It will help you stop saying, “I can’t” and start saying, “I can try”— one conversation at a time.

Doggin’: Vet takes mini replica everywhere Continued from Page C-7

Horses graze during the winter feeding program by Wild Horse Mesa. PHOTO COURTESY JUDY BARNES

Faces and places The horses on Wild Horse Mesa are in need of hay. Spirit of the Wild Horse Foundation feeds as many horses as possible to keep them on top of the mesa, off the highway and away from the ranches, but the group is seeking supplying the horses with an average of 200 bales a month during the long winter. Wild Horse Mesa has lost more than 100 horses during the last five years because of capture and removal, the foundation said in a news release. In addition, about 10 horses get hit by vehicles on the highway every year. New flashing lights and signs have lowered that number for this year, but feeding the horses keeps them on the mesa and plays a major role in protecting them and motorists from serious accidents. These horses are part of the area history’s and need to be protected, the foundation said. To donate hay, which the foundation will pick up, or to contribute money so the foundation can buy hay, call Spirit of the Wild Horse at 719-206-2749. Or send an email to spirt.of.the. wild.horse@gmail.com. Donors can also leave a voicemail message at 575-586-0784, and donations also can be sent to Spirit of the Wild Horse Foundation, P.O. Box 100, Costilla, N.M. 87524.

100 percent sure we got it.” But Redd did get accepted to Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. This achievement prompted her first Wienermobile keepsake — a toy replica of the vehicle that her sister-in-law had found at a garage sale. “I thought, ‘Cool. I’m going to take this to vet school, and I’m going to take pictures of it everywhere, and it will be kind of my way of driving the Wienermobile everywhere,” Redd said. “It’s been all over, and it’s got a lot of other places to go.” Oscar, as Redd calls the mini replica, has even been to Ireland for a quick visit to the Blarney Stone. After graduating from vet school in 2010, Redd moved to Hobbs to work at a veterinary hospital, where two of her clients, Lisa Zeise and Miles Chedekel, had a connection with Kraft, the parent company of Oscar Mayer. The couple joked that they had connections with the Wienermobile. Last fall, Redd moved to Santa Fe to take the lead veterinary position at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society’s new Clare Eddy Thaw Animal Hospital. But she kept close ties to her friends in Hobbs. And in November, she got a call from the couple, who said they had won an auction for a three-hour ride in the Wienermobile — did she want to come? Of course, she couldn’t say no. A deep freeze that week forced the closure of the road between Santa Fe and Roswell, she said, “so I had to drive through El Paso. It was a

10-hour drive.” But well worth it. “It was just so cool,” she said. “We were like mini-celebrities. We drove all over town and to the Boca Burger plant. Inside, it’s amazing. There’s a big TV in there, and the ceiling on the inside is blue with clouds — so there’s always sunny skies ahead.” Puns abound in the vehicle — the glove box is referred to as the bun box; the sunroof is called a bun roof. But there were no hot dogs handy. “That’s a common misconception that they serve hot dogs,” she said. “They don’t. They hand out Wieniewhistles

and coupons.” Redd said she enjoyed talking with the Hotdoggers, who were friendly and gracious to everyone they encountered on the tour. One woman was headed

to law school after her one-year stint. Working with animals and their guardians is fulfilling, Redd said, but for a brief moment she did regret not being able to take off on the road in a Wienermobile. “Everyone who drives by is smiling and taking photos,” she said. “I find myself getting emotional. It was the best feeling ever. People were really happy to see you. And Hobbs is this flat oil town, and not a lot happens there, and people are going to be talking about this forever.” Redd’s dream has come true, but she still has Oscar, who has a lot of travel in him. She plans to take many more pictures of him — maybe in New York or at Disney World. “It’s really cool how it transforms people,” Redd said of the Wienermobile. ” … I get emails and pictures and text messages of people who see it. It’s just cool.”

For Seattle’s Lynch, a good run is worth 1,000 words

St. Michael’s tops Rams in Horsemen Shootout

By Dave Boling The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)

ENTON, Wash. — Poets and philosophers frequently go unappreciated or misunderstood in their time. That might be the case with Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, whose public expressions are mostly limited to extraordinary game-day achievements, eloquent exertion and a running style that is fluent and exclamatory. Marshawn While quarterback Rus- Lynch sell Wilson often says that he likes to be “the calm in the storm,” Lynch prefers, simply, to be the storm itself. Beast Mode, as he calls it. Last Saturday against New Orleans, he was the game-saving offensive force, rushing for a Seahawks playoff-record 140 yards. These kinds of performances the past three seasons have made Lynch the heart of the team, and his toughness is the very embodiment of the Seahawks’ identity. But it’s others who must supply the Seahawks’ voice. And there are those suited to the task. If you ask Wilson a question about a game, for instance, he might start his extensive analysis by providing the dimensions of the football field. Cornerback Richard Sherman, meanwhile, has at times offered verbatim quotes from Einstein and executed improvisational dance steps to accompany his answers.

of previous games. On Saturday, the Horsemen continued to build the lead throughout the game so as to not repeat the mistakes of the prior two nights. “We’ve been talking about closing games all weekend,” St. Michael’s guard Chris Lovato said. “Our intensity from last night’s game carried over into this one. We finished the weekend strong.” St. Michael’s had a 10-6 lead at the end of the first quarter, but it ballooned to a 23-16 halftime lead. The Horsemen then went on a 12-4 run in the third quarter to enter the fourth with a 35-20 lead. From there, St. Michael’s kept its lead at

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Nadal puts on a grand show in Melbourne Monfils falls to top-seeded Spaniard in third round By John Pye The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Rafael Nadal made it abundantly clear how much he missed the last Australian Open with the manner of his third-round demolition of Gael Monfils. Top-seeded Nadal trounced No. 25-seeded Monfils 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 in two hours to finish off Saturday’s program on the Rod Laver Arena, then told the crowd it was “very emoRafael tional to have the chance Nadal to play that well here in Australia after missing last year.” He skipped it in 2013 during a sevenmonth layoff for illness and injuries, depriving him a chance to pick up two full sets of the Grand Slam titles. Nadal returned to win the French and U.S. Open crowns among his 10 titles last season and regained the year-end No. 1-ranking. The Australian Open is the only major Nadal has not won at least twice, with his sole triumph at Melbourne Park in 2009. The Spaniard lost an epic five-set final to Novak Djokovic two years ago. The 27-year-old broke Monfils’ serve in the first game and then fended off three break points before holding in the next. He conceded just one point on serve in the second set and, apart from a slight stumble that caused him to hobble around momentarily, he didn’t have any trouble advancing. Nadal next plays No. 16 Kei Nishikori of Japan, who ended the U.S. run in the men’s draw with a comfortable win over Donald Young. “Very happy the way that I played against a very tough opponent like Gael,” Nadal said, giving himself high marks for the performance. “So that makes the level that I

onica Lovato is back where she wants to be — in the confines of a boxing ring. It’s been six long years since the Española native and two-time world champion put on the gloves and took on an opponent, but the time is finally right. On Saturday, Lovato will begin her boxing comeback against B.J. Harrison in the “Return of the Warrior” bout that features fellow Españolan Tony “The Warrior” Valdez in the main event at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino. It’s a comeback that Lovato has long wanted to do, but the timing always seemed off — until now.

“I’ve been wanting to box for a while,” Lovato said. “I just hadn’t had anything come back.” While the title of the boxing card might allude to Valdez, the card is just as much about the return of another “warrior.” Lovato, who once held the North American Boxing Federation’s junior bantamweight title and the International Boxing Association bantamweight belt, returns after trying her hand on the MMA circuit. That foray, though, was short-circuited because of injuries suffered from two car accident in 2012. Lovato was involved in two rearend crashes that left her with injuries to her neck and lower back. Those injuries made the grappling part of MMA difficult for her, but she wasn’t quite ready to give up on fighting. The 36-year-old, though, knows her time is

short, what with schoolwork (Lovato is studying to be a nurse) and age starting to make their own demands on her time. “I keep saying that I’m not going to fight any more and that I need to concentrate on school,” Lovato said. “But I always go to the gym, and I knew I couldn’t go to the fight gym because I would be sucked into fighting again. So I took a break, then went into the gym in October with Fidel [Alderete, her trainer], just to get back into boxing shape. “And Fidel’s like, ‘You know, you still have five years of boxing in you. You know you could still box.’ ” Alderete mentioned an opening on the Valdez fight card, and that’s all Lovato needed to hear.

now, this is really for fun. To get my head out of the books and have a little “ Right break. I enjoy it. I love it. It’s always been my outlet for everything.” Monica Lovato

WRESTLING JOE VIVIAN CLASSIC

5 Northern New Mexican wrestlers take home gold By James Barron The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — Koery Windham has accomplished just about everything a prep wrestler can in his career — except for a Joe Vivian Classic title. The St. Michael’s senior went about erasing that omission from his résumé on Saturday night at Albuquerque Cibola High School. Windham methodically worked his way to a 5-2 win over Rio Rancho’s Miguel Barreras in the 160-pound class to finally earn his first gold medal at the Vivian, considered among the wrestling community as

the premier regular-season meet in the state. He was among five Northern New Mexico wrestlers who took home gold medals for winning their weight class. Capital took home a trio of first-time Vivian championships in Jose Tapia (113 pounds), Isaiah Anaya (145) and Ernesto Salvidrez (152) while finishing in fifth place overall with 132 points. Las Vegas Robertson’s Rico Montoya took home a convincing win at 132 and was named the middleweight wrestler of the tournament. Tapia won the honor among the lightweight divisions.

And the wrestler who had just about everything — three state team titles, four individual crowns — could add another title to his name. “This is a pretty big thing for me, since I’ve already won state,” Windham said. “It’s still, like, a big thing [winning a state title] every time I do it, but this was a missing puzzle piece.” The piece was almost lost when Barreras escaped with about 45 seconds left in the match to get within 3-2, and he was on the attack after that. But Windham was patient and waiting for an opening, which came

when Barreras shot for Windham’s legs with about 0:20 left. Windham grabbed Barreras’ leg and took him down to the mat for the crucial 2-point takedown, and he rode it out for the win. “I just stayed in a good stance,” Windham said. “I looked at the knee. I knew he wouldn’t be shooting until I saw it. I was just keeping one [of his] legs guarded and reshot every time he shot.” St. Michael’s head coach Joaquin Garcia knew this tournament meant a lot to his senior, and he saw the intensity level ratchet up a

UNM bounces back to beat Fresno State The New Mexican

FRESNO, Calif. — The best medicine for The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team may be life on the road. The Lobos bounced back from a draining home loss to UNLV earlier this week by beating Fresno State 89-78 on Saturday night UNM 89 in Mountain West ConFresno St. 78 ference play. Cameron Bairstow scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds to help UNM (13-4, 4-1) climb into a second-place tie with Nevada in the league standings. San Diego State (16-1, 5-0) sits alone in first after beating UNLV in other Mountain West action on Saturday. New Mexico has already lost two games in The Pit this season but is now 4-0 in true road games, including a perfect mark through three stops on the MWC schedule. It’s the team’s best start ever on the Mountain West road and is one game short of matching the 1984 team’s 4-0 start in the Western Athletic Conference. Trailing 27-23 late in the first half, New Mexico held the Bulldogs (8-11, 1-4) scoreless for the final 4 minutes, 17 seconds

before halftime. The Lobos finished the half on a 9-0 run, sparked by a pair of 3-pointers by freshman guard Cullen Neal. They led by as many as 18 in the second half; the largest margin came when guard Hugh Greenwood hit 3-pointers on consecutive trips down the floor to open a 67-49 cushion with 7:36 remaining. The Bulldogs eventually got as close as seven points in the waning moments before UNM put the game away at the free throw line. After the teams combined for just five free throw attempts in the first half, they combined for 69 in the second half as the Lobos were whistled for 21 fouls and Fresno State 22. Five players finished in double figures for New Mexico. Neal had 17 points while Kendall Williams had 13. Alex Kirk had 12 points and seven rebounds, playing much of the second half with four fouls. Cleveland Thomas added 10 points off the bench. New Mexico had eight 3-pointers in the game and shot 53 percent from the floor — its best shooting night of the conference season. Fresno State hit 5 of its first 9 attempts from 3-point range but was just

3-for-16 the rest of the way. Fresno State got 16 points from Tyler Johnson and 15 each from Cezar Guerrero and Marvelle Harris, but the Bulldogs simply had no answer for Bairstow in the low post. The 6-foot-9 junior became the focal point in the second half as he recorded his 11th 20-point game of the season. He was sent to the free throw line 19 times. He converted 14 tries, a career high. The Lobos return home Tuesday night to face Boise State (13-5, 3-2) in a nationally televised game on CBS Sports Network. The Broncos beat visiting Utah State on Saturday night and moved into sole possession of fourth in the MWC standings. UNM WOMEN Bree Farley’s layup with two seconds remaining handed Fresno State (11-6, 5-1) a 75-73 win over New Mexico in women’s basketball on Saturday afternoon in The Pit. UNM (7-9, 2-3) erased a 14-point second half deficit, getting a team-high 15 points from Sara Halasz, 14 points from Antiesha Brown and 13 from Khadijah Shumpert. St. Michael’s graduate Alexa Chavez played 12 minutes in a reserve role, finishing with two points while grabbing a pair of rebounds with a blocked shot.

Shootout: Horsemen to face Capital next take one day off before getting back to practice in preparation for their Jan. 23 game against Capital. Given that Capital is accused of illegally filming a game between St. Michael’s and Anthony Gadsden in December, the New Mexico Activities Association gave St. Michael’s the opportunity to accept a forfeit from Capital, which Geyer denied. “We want to play the game,” Geyer said.

Continued from Page D-1 double digits. The Horsemen only allowed Portales to score 10 points in the second half, and the increased defensive effort from them was the key to not allowing the Rams to cut the margin. “We made them work really hard,” St. Michael’s head coach Ron Geyer said. “They had to work the ball for a long time and rush their shots, and they didn’t get a lot of second shot opportunities. We also did a better job of decision making at the end of the game.” While Justin Flores has been leading the Horsemen in the scoring department recently, it was fellow Lovato who stepped up on Saturday. He led the Horsemen with 15 points with three 3-pointers, two of which came in the second half. Prior to Saturday, Lovato only scored five points in the tournament. “[Friday] and the day before, my shots weren’t falling,” Lovato said. “Tonight, I just came out with confidence and shot the ball. They went in, and I’m happy about that.” The latest win over the Rams gives the Horsemen four wins over potential AAA state tournament teams. St. Michael’s

St. Michael’s Marcus Pincheira-Sandoval covers Portales’ Isaiah Alvarado during the last game of the Horsemen Shootout on Saturday. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

has a young roster that only has four seniors, and Geyer believes that this week gave his younger players some quality experience. “This was a huge week for us,” Geyer said. “To win all these games is a credit to these kids. We’re starting to play with more intensity and more consistency as the year goes on.”

Even for Portales, who lost all three games this weekend, it was good to see other AAA teams right before district play begins. “This is one of the better games that we’ve played here,” Portales head coach Rickie McBroom said. “These three games were just huge for us.” The Horsemen will only

SILVER 53, WINGATE 50 After being down by 12 points to start the fourth quarter, the Wingate Bears scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to make it a three-point game. Down 53-48 with less than a minute left, Wingate’s Kyle Begay stole pass and made a shot on the other end to cut the Silver lead to 53-50. Silver then hung on to the ball for the final seconds to give Wingate its second loss by three points or less in the Horsemen Shootout. Gabe Morales led Silver with 21 points and was the only Colt to finish in double figures. Kaycee Begay finished with 15 points to lead Wingate while Kennel Jones added 13.

Gold: St. Michael’s finishes in 12th place Continued from Page D-1 couple of notches during practice. “He wanted it,” Garcia said. “He wanted to make a statement. He wanted to show everybody what he’s capable of, and he did. It was big for him to do it.” His was the most challenging of the finals tilts, although Anaya was locked in a fierce battle with Albuquerque Rio Grande’s Matias Sainz until he got a crucial takedown with 0:18 left in the second period. It gave him a 5-2 lead, and he added another takedown late in the third to complete a 7-2 win. When Salvidrez followed with an 8-0

win in the 152 finals, Capital could still claim it has three undefeated wrestlers. Tapia is 21-0, Anaya improved to 20-0 and Salvidrez is undefeated in 18 matches. “We’ve been drilling harder and harder every day at practice,” Anaya said. “We are trying to get ready for the tournament. I am pretty sure we all have the same thing on our mind.” And that would be a podium finish in the Class AAAA tournament in February. Capital was the top AAAA school at the meet, finishing ahead of Los Lunas by 65 points. While head coach Markis Gallegos wanted a podium finish for a topthree placement at the Vivian, he realizes

the bigger goal is still ahead. “All three [wrestlers] came out here and put their undefeated record on the line to see if they could be the best,” Gallegos said. “I don’t know. We’ll see at the state tournament if we’re number one in the state. [Piedra Vista] wasn’t here and they are going to be a test for us.” St. Michael’s walked away in 12th place with 85 points with just five wrestlers, but four of them finished in the top four. Along with Windham’s title, Luke Sanchez was second at 182, Geno Palermo was third at 132 and Xavier Vigil took fourth at 171.

Swing: Lovato juggles school with boxing Continued from Page D-1 “I was like, ‘Aw … Alright, I’ll do it,’ ” Lovato said with a smile. The only caveat is that her training wouldn’t interfere with her studies. So Lovato trains five days a week in the evening in Alderete’s gym in Albuquerque while going to classes during the day. Sometimes, though, conflicts arise in her juggling act. Lovato went to an exhibition in Santa Fe on Jan. 11 to help promote the fight, but it was four hours that took time away from her studies. This past week has been about pushing forward with her school work while also being faithful to her training. It’s a different path Lovato embarks on compared to her earlier boxing career. “Right now, this is really for fun,” Lovato said. “To get my head out of the books and have a little break. I enjoy it. I love it. It’s always been my outlet for everything.” Lovato started boxing in the early 2000s as an outlet to deal with the grief from the

death of a close friend, Leroy Quintana. Her first fight wasn’t until 2004, but she complied a 13-2 mark over a four-year stretch. But her passion for the sport has been stunted at times by untimely circumstances. After beating Mariana Juárez for the IBA title, she fought just once more — in February 2008, beating Crystal Hoy to retain her NABF title. Then, the fights just started to dry up. Twice, she had world title bouts set up, but both fell through. Frustrated by that, she turned to an emerging sport that had just as much action — and maybe an easier path to navigate. “My MMA coach, Arlene Sanchez, said, ‘Why don’t you try it?’ ” Lovato said. “And I said, ‘Sure, why not?’ ” In three-plus years in the sport, she had a 5-3 mark, although she lost three of her last four fights. She was set to go to Japan for another fight when the first of two accidents happened. “I was turning, and I got hit,” Lovato said of the crash. “I was turning into a place of

business when it happened. It was bad. I had a lot of neck and lower back injuries. It’s just something I deal with.” Six months later, she was in an almost similar crash, and it effectively ended her MMA career. In 2013, Lovato’s mother died, leaving another huge hole in her heart. It led her to reach out to the sport she loved. “I went back to the gym, and that was my namaste,” Lovato said with a laugh, alluding to the yoga term. “Boxing was my yoga.” As much fun as the sport has been for Lovato, she realizes her time in it is short. She gives her comeback about a year and a half, which is when she expects to have her nursing degree. “If I haven’t retired already,” Lovato said. “I have a lot of other plans and goals to do, and I put my time in here. Maybe one day, I’ll come back and do some coaching, maybe manage fighters. It’s something I like to do. It’s something I’ll always love to do.”

BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Lady Sundevils steamroll Cleveland Storm 92-69 The New Mexican

Asked about a month ago if his team was ready to be considered among the elite programs in Class AAAA, Española Valley girls basketball coach Ray Romero said only time would tell. Time finally has an answer, and it’s a resounding yes. The Lady Sundevils wrapped up their nondistrict schedule in style on Saturday night, steamrolling AAAAA’s Cleveland Storm, 92-69, in Rio Rancho. Española (13-4) has won nine of its past 10 games and is set to open its District 2AAAA schedule at home on Tuesday against mighty Santa Fe High (16-1). “A month ago, I wasn’t ready to put us in that top category,” Romero said. “I think we’re ready to be a part of that now.” The Lady Sundevils scored at least 24 points in three of the four quarters, getting a game-high 24 points from Alexis Lovato and 21 from Ashlynn Trujillo. Kaitlyn Romero had 14 points and Kayla Salazar 11. POJOAQUE VALLEY 43, THOREAU 39 In Thoreau, the visiting Elkettes (9-8) won their second straight game as Miranda Martinez had a team-high 13 points, and Leslie Gutierrez, the team’s top scorer all season, had five points, six steals and eight rebounds. Gaby Gonzales added 10 points for Pojoaque, which led 18-3 in the first quarter before Thoreau came storming back. The Lady Hawks cut it to a single point in the second half but never did take the lead. SANTA FE PREPARATORY 44, CORONADO 36 In Cuba, the Blue Griffins (6-7) claimed third place in the Cuba Invitational by holding off a second half

rally by the Lady Leopards. Bianca Gonzales and Alexis Mundt each had 10 points to lead Prep, which led 26-14 at halftime but saw its lead shaved to six at a couple of moments in the second half. “Every time they would get that close, we would come back with a layup,” said Prep head coach Anika Amon. “I’m really proud of my team because they’ve crumbled in those instances in the past.” Joy Maran and Gressia Burrola each had eight points for the Blue Griffins, who face East Mountain and Escalante in their final nondistrict tuneups next week. MCCURDY 53, MONTE DEL SOL 19 At Christian Life, the Lady Bobcats (10-5) closed the game with a 21-0 run to get a nondistrict win over the Lady Dragons. Leading nearly the entire way, McCurdy was led by Alannah Sanchez’s 25 points. Karla Santos had 14 and Patricia Loera 7. Alicia Roybal had 13 points to lead Monte del Sol (8-6).

James lifts Heat over Bobcats in overtime The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — LeBron James had 34 points and eight rebounds, and Miami beat the Bobcats for the 15th straight time, 104Heat 104 96 in overBobcats 96 time Saturday night. James scored six points in the extra period, including two driving layups to lift the Heat to their second win in two nights. Chris Bosh added 25 points and seven rebounds for Miami. PACERS 106, CLIPPERS 92 In Indianapolis, Paul George scored 36 points, and Lance Stephenson added 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead Indiana to its fourth straight win, all by double digits. The Pacers, though, missed a chance to win four in a row by 20 or more points for the first time in franchise history. Indiana retained the league’s top record and improved to 21-1 at home before heading West for a five-game road trip. WARRIORS 97, PELICANS 87 In New Orleans, Stephen Curry scored 28 points, David Lee added 22, and Golden State sent the Pelicans to its eighth straight loss. Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes.

TIMBERWOLVES 98, JAZZ 72 In Minneapolis, Nikola Pekovic had 27 points and 14 rebounds in three quarters to lead the Timberwolves. Kevin Love had 18 points, 13 rebounds and five assists, and Kevin Martin scored 20 points to help Minnesota snap a three-game losing streak that included losses to Sacramento and Toronto. ROCKETS 114, BUCKS 104 In Houston, Terrence Jones had a career-high 36 points and 11 rebounds, and the Rockets led from the start. Jones had 25 points by halftime, matching his previous careerbest set on Wednesday, and James Harden added 22 points. BULLS 103, 76ERS 78 In Chicago, Joakim Noah had 21 points and 16 rebounds, Carlos Boozer added 15 points and 13 boards, and the Bulls won for the seventh time in nine games this month. PISTONS 104, WIZARDS 98 In Washington, Josh Smith overcame a slow start to score 22 points, and Rodney Stuckey added 20 to lead Detroit. Greg Monroe had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Andre Drummond added 10 points and a game-high 13 boards as the Pistons outrebounded the Wizards. TRAIL BLAZERS 127, MAVERICKS 111 In Dallas, LaMarcus Aldridge had 30 points and 12 rebounds, and Portland ran past Dallas for its fifth straight win.

Nadal: Federer beats Gabashvili Continued from Page D-1 played tonight better because it was against a tough opponent. “That makes me feel confident, but I am in fourth round. That’s all.” There were other lopsided matches on the Rod Laver Arena, with two-time women’s defending champion Victoria Azarenka routing Yvonne Muesburger 6-1, 6-1 to set up an Australian Open rematch with Sloane Stephens. Third-seeded Maria Sharapova opened the day session with a straight-sets win over No. 25 Alize Cornet, and Roger Federer dispatched Teymuraz Gabashvili of Russia 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 in his return to the center court after a one-match hiatus on the secondary court at Melbourne Park. Federer is one of two fourtime Australian Open champions in the men’s draw. The other, three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic will play his fourth-round match on Sunday, against No. 15 Fabio Fognini. That match follows five-time Australian champion Serena Williams’ match against Ana Ivanovic in the women’s fourth round. Federer and Nadal are in the tough half of the draw along with Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who is two tournaments into a return from minor back surgery in September. Murray, a three-time finalist in Melbourne, clutched at his back as he hurdled an advertising board after chasing a drop shot early in his 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-2 win over Feliciano Lopez. But he said it was no problem. “I’ve recovered well after the matches,” he said. “From time to time a bit of stiffness and soreness, but for the most part it’s been good.” An aching back and adjustments for a new racket bothered Federer in the latter half of last year, when his second-round exit at Wimbledon ended a record streak of reaching the quarterfinals or better at 36 consecutive majors. He made a fourthround exit at the U.S. Open. But now the pain is gone, he has come to grips with the new racket and he and wife Mirka are expecting another child, all good portents for Grand Slam success as he sees them.

Li, Pennetta heading into quarterfinals MELBOURNE, Australia — Two-time finalist Li Na wrapped up a fourthround win over No. 22 Ekaterina Makarova in less than an hour Sunday to set up a quarterfinal against Flavia Pennetta at the Australian Open. The 2011 French Open champion broke Makarova’s serve five times and fended off four break points on her own serve during a 59-minute, 6-2, 6-0 win to reach the quarterfinals here for the fourth time in five years. Pennetta’s late-career revival continued as she reached her first Australian Open quarterfinal with a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 win over ninth-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany. The 28th-seeded Pennetta has played some of her best tennis since returning last February from a wrist injury that caused her ranking to drop as low as No. 166. The Associated Press

“Feels great, exciting times,” Federer gushed in a court-side interview. “The last time she was pregnant I played fairly well, won the French and Wimbledon! So lots of pressure there.” That was 2009, the last year he played in the final of all four majors. He didn’t reach any Grand Slam finals last year, and hired childhood idol Stefan Edberg as a coaching consultant in a bid to rectify the situation in 2014. Federer next plays 2008 Australian Open finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who advanced in straight sets over fellow Frenchman Gilles Simon and now sees “the possibility to take revenge because last year I lost against him here in the quarterfinals.” The man some fans once called “Baby Fed” for his style of play and one-handed backhand, is starting to make his own name. Grigor Dimitrov, who is dating Sharapova, beat No. 11 Milos Raonic in an enthralling tiebreaker to advance to the second week of a major for the first time.

Quarterback showdown Brady faces Manning again with Super Bowl on the line By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

ENVER — Only one of them can be the greatest. Peyton Manning could be the one — owner of a record four, working on five, MVP awards, current holder of NFL single-season records for passing yardage and touchdowns and architect of a career-reviving second act, the likes of which has rarely been seen in any sport. Tom Brady could also be that man — leader of five Super Bowl teams and winner of three titles, one-time holder of some of the records Manning holds now and author of an undefeated regular season. He also has that 10-4 record against Manning despite constant turnover on his roster and a lack of a star-studded receiving corps. Manning and Brady will meet Sunday for the 15th time, and the fourth time in the postseason, when the Broncos (14-3) face the Patriots (13-4) in the AFC title game. The winner between the top two quarterbacks over an era in which quarterbacks have never been so good will get what could be the last say in the debate over who goes down as the greatest — not so much because of what the win-loss numbers will say but because this could be the last time they meet with the stakes so high. “I don’t know that there will ever be another rivalry like it, or has been a rivalry like it,” said John Elway, whose own rivalry with Dan Marino was held to

only three meetings because of scheduling quirks over their decade-plus careers. The game will either give Brady a chance to match Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw for a fourth title or afford Manning the opportunity to win a second ring, which would put him one behind Brady, and in the same company with his brother, Eli, Roger Staubach and Elway, among others. It would also make Manning the first QB to win championships with two different teams. While paying ultimate respect to each other — “I feel like he’s been a better player each year than he was the year before,” Manning said — neither quarterback professes to care much about how their own head-to-head showdowns will define their legacy. Don’t believe it, says Phil Simms, who admits in retirement that the smile was a little wider after he walked off the field with a win over a Staubach or Joe Theismann. “It’s always personal, no matter what,” Simms said. “It’s part of being a competitor and doing what you do.” One reason Brady has a .714 win percentage in the head-to-head meetings and also holds a 2-1 advantage in the playoffs is because, more often than not, he’s been surrounded by the more complete team. He has been anything but a one-man show in New England this season, illustrated best by the fact that the Patriots are in the AFC title game even though Brady threw for 25 touchdowns — less than half of Manning’s record-setting 55. Without Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez or Wes Welker to throw to, Brady made it work, with a big assist from head coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who used to coach the Broncos.

New England’s running game, led by LeGarrette Blount and Shane Vereen, has averaged 214 yards the last three games. Brady’s 75 passes over the last three games are the fewest of any three-game stretch in his career. Welker, who played with Brady for six years before coming to Denver this season, says it’s not so much stats or physical attributes that defines these two Hall-ofFame quarterbacks. “They do a great job of keeping guys accountable, and their leadership skills and everything else,” he said. “They are two guys you want quarterbacking your team. It’s a toss-up between those two.” Manning has thrown for 92 touchdowns since arriving in Denver at the start of the 2012 season, his neck rebuilt from multiple surgeries, his future uncertain because of his weakened throwing arm. He’d be the first to admit he’s not the same as he once was, physically. But nobody prepares better. His record-setting 5,477 yards and all those touchdown throws came with a gifted group of offensive stars surrounding him — Welker, Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas and this season’s difference maker, 6-foot-5 tight end Julius Thomas. But Manning had great players around him in Indianapolis, as well, and never put up these sort of numbers. “Honestly, no one will probably ever break that, not in this day and age,” former Broncos receiver Rod Smith said. On Sunday, Brady, who missed parts of practice early in the week with the flu, will be going against a depleted secondary that just lost cornerback Chris Harris Jr., which will make Champ Bailey — injured most of the season — a bigger cog for the Denver “D.”

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP

49ers, Seahawks destined to meet By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

SEATTLE — From the first kickoff back in September, the 49ers and Seahawks seemed destined to meet for the NFC title. Time to get it on. With the conference’s most physical, relentless defenses, adept at forcing turnovers and making opponents think twice about, well, just about anything, Seattle (now 14-3) won the NFC West by one game over San Francisco (now 14-4). The offenses, while not nearly as imposing, have the right elements for a champion: strong running games, efficient and sometimes dynamic quarterbacks, and staunch lines. Their coaches have the proper pedigree, as well. Jim Harbaugh has led the 49ers to the NFC championship game in all three seasons in charge, making the Super Bowl last year. Pete Carroll had a 28-23 record in three seasons as Patriots coach, then went to the college ranks and built a powerhouse at Southern California, with two national titles. That there’s no love lost between Harbaugh and Carroll dating to when they both were coaching in college — Harbaugh at Stanford, where he ran up the score on Carroll’s Trojans — adds plenty of spice. The sum total on both sides should be a worthy conference champion to meet either Denver or New England in two weeks in the New Jersey Meadowlands for the NFL crown. Even if both teams are playing down the drama they figure to provide before an ear-shattering wall of noise at CenturyLink Field on Sunday. “I think it’s pretty much, the game’s a bigger stage and gets you to the Super Bowl obviously,” said 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith. “But I think for

the most part how we’ve gone into every game in the year’s past is we try to be as regimented as possible in how we do things. We’re not going to get all caught up in ‘This game gets us to the Super Bowl or this and that.’ We all know. There’s nothing that needs to be said or a special meeting or anything.” Just football. “It’s like every game,” Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson confirmed. “Every game is no different even though it’s a championship game and all of that. We talk about playing 1-0 every week, and the game doesn’t change. “It comes down to not turning over the football, being in the plus in that situation, having a limited amount of penalties; you’re going to get some penalties, espe-

cially in a game like this, but not having too many of them. “The biggest thing is just staying on schedule.” The schedule brought these teams together in September and December. Seattle won 29-3 at home in Week 2, then lost 19-17 at San Francisco on Dec. 8. CenturyLink Field might be the toughest venue in the NFL for visitors, with architecture that not only keeps the noise inside the stadium, but funnels it toward the field itself. Wilson became a starter as a rookie in 2012 and went undefeated. He won his first six home starts this season before a stumble against Arizona, but then Seattle defeated St. Louis to finish off the regular season, and New Orleans in a divisional-round playoff last weekend.

Vikings’ Metrodome deflates for last time The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The Vikings’ Metrodome has deflated for the last time. Officials from the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority opened the stadium’s relief vents to begin the deflation at 7:15 a.m. Saturday in downtown Minneapolis. Fans providing the air that supports the roof were turned off. The 10 acres of Teflon-coated fabric were done deflating in 35 minutes. Bill McCarthy, vice chairman of the authority, called it “a sad and exciting day at the same time.” The deflation and the demolition of the Dome beginning next week will make way for construction of a new $1 billion Vikings stadium. The muffin-shaped dome opened in 1982 and was once a focal point of Minnesota professional sports. In addition to being the home field for the Vikings and the Twins — who won two World Series there — the Timberwolves played their first NBA season in the Metrodome in 1989. The Twins left in 2009 for Target Field, leaving only the Vikings as the Metrodome’s major tenant. The authority gave the go-ahead despite concerns about weather conditions. According to the National

Crews deflated the Metrodome early Saturday morning in Minneapolis. The demolition of the dome beginning next week will make way for construction of a new $1 billion Vikings stadium. JIM GEHRZ/THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

Weather Service, between 4 to 5 inches of snow fell in the area overnight. Winds were a steady 5 to 10 mph Saturday morning. The roof silently deflated under gray, snowy skies, sagging first in the middle. When the process was done, the stadium looked like a concave dish, rimmed with snow.

The morning snow was both a help and a safety concern, said Steve Maki, the authority’s director of facilities and engineering. “We moved it up to do it as soon as we were ready,” he said, noting officials were concerned that if the winds increased, the deflation would have been delayed. Officials were worried that stiff

winds could have turned the roof into “a big sail,” Maki said. While Saturday was the fifth time the Dome’s roof has collapsed, it was the first time it was deflated intentionally. On four prior occasions, the roof collapsed due to extreme weather conditions, including the Dec. 11, 2010, incident where excessive snow caused the roof to cave in. Crews will begin demolishing the rest of the building Monday. The new stadium is expected to be ready in time for the 2016 NFL season and will be located in roughly the same spot as the Metrodome. The team plans to play at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium during the 2014 and 2015 seasons. St. Paul-based excavator Frattalone Companies will recycle the Dome’s roof fabric, cutting it up to be used in future construction projects. The entire roof deflated without the fabric ripping, Maki said. Already the turf and most of the bright-blue seats have been removed, leaving a kind of concrete shell inside the stadium. Few people were out and about in the early morning hours, and those who were walking by the Dome didn’t notice the deflation occurring.

He once remarkably identified the precise formula responsible for the global appeal of the National Football League: “Adrenaline and testosterone.” But Lynch had not uttered a word until recently, when forced by a looming $50,000 fine from the league for his unwillingness to adhere to its policy on media cooperation. Some suggest his analytic contributions are not worth the effort. I asked him for only one comment the past two seasons, when fullback Michael Robinson, his traditional lead blocker, returned to the roster. Knowing how important Robinson had been to Lynch, I sought a quick comment for a column on Robinson. It went like this (near his locker, during appropriate media-access time): “Marshawn, would you have a second for a question about … ” “I’m good, boss,” he interjected. I assumed he must have anticipated I was going to ask of his well-being, and he supplied a peremptory answer. As for the “boss” part, he might have, as so many others do, confused me with Bruce Springsteen. OK, no sweat. The brief rejection, though, reminded me of those who are tight-lipped by design. Chinese philosopher Laozi, for instance, wrote: “Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.” Silence, Laozi also added, is a source of great strength. So, I was compelled to consider the fact that Lynch’s comments are rooted in ancient Eastern philosophy and not, as I thought, in contemporary East Bay truculence. And because the league has pressured him into making public statements the past few weeks, it has given us the chance to study them, to sort through the sparse rhetoric and the occasional existentialism that defines his minimalist doctrine. Simply, perhaps it hasn’t been Lynch’s unwillingness to speak that’s the problem, but our collective inability to understand his message — to translate the Tao of the Beast. For instance, as commonly attributed to Buddha: “A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.” A running back gains no yards with his words. During the bye week before the divisional playoff game against New Orleans, Lynch was asked of the benefit of spending time practicing against the Seahawks’ own talented defense. “When you get to practice against the best, it brings the best out of you,” Lynch said. Or was it Buddha? (“Better to conquer yourself than win a thousand battles.”) When asked successive questions about Wilson, the receivers, the offensive line, the fullbacks, Lynch provided successive answers that sounded like a mantra. “I love them, I love him, I love them, I love them.” In this case, he might have been coached by the Dalai Lama, who said, “I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion.” If the Seahawks defeat San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, it likely will be a function of Lynch’s jackhammer rushes and the force of his iron will. And as a reward, he will be forced on Tuesday of Super Bowl week to mount a podium in front of several thousand of the world’s reporters, where he will be tasked with answering questions for a full hour. It might be more illustrative to those who wish to understand him, to just have a screen show an hour of video highlighting his best rushes. Because, in the words of an old Chinese proverb: One showing is worth a hundred sayings.

This picture shows what a fig tree will do in 400 years — nature takes over and evidence of man’s labors eventually disappears.

Historian aims to honor 150th emancipation date The Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Janice Hayes-Williams doesn’t forget easily, so she makes it a habit to remind others. In 2007, the Annapolis City Council passed a bill apologizing for slavery. The legislation also called for a time of education in the last week of October. But after four years without any observance, HayesWilliams returned to the City Council to follow up on its pledge. “I felt like that was no longer appropriate,” she said. “The bill said the city would celebrate.” Her efforts led to another bill in 2011 forming the Annapolis Commission on Maryland’s Constitution of 1864 and the Abolishment of Slavery. Since then Hayes-Williams — the commission’s chairwoman — has been on a mission to make sure the meaning of Nov. 1, 2014, isn’t forgotten.

On that date, Maryland will celebrate the sesquicentennial — the 150th anniversary — of the Janice Hayes- Maryland Constitution Williams that put an end to slavery one year prior to complete national emancipation. In coming months, HayesWilliams will continue raising funds and searching for volunteers to pack the week before Nov. 1 with events. Organizers are slating lectures and theater performances. The weeklong series will conclude with a ball. “She is so well-grounded both in her historical perspective and the social network of the community, there’s no one better to lead that effort than Janice,” said Lisa Craig, Annapolis’ chief of historic preservation.

City honors its past, celebrates emerging artists The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville’s history is so intertwined with music and creative expression that tunes seem to pour from every door and window. From Music Row to the Honky Tonk Highway, the city recognizes its past, while also celebrating emerging artists who are drawn to the city just like music lovers. Learn a little about the great artists that defined the Nashville scene for decades, hear new music that may soon be hitting radio waves, and take a sniff of Tennessee sipping whiskey, all for free.

Honky tonks Nashville’s siren song for tourists has long been the neon lights and twangy guitars pouring country and western standards from downtown honky tonks, where you can catch an up-and-coming singer or one of the town’s talented musicians. If you’re lucky, sometimes even country’s biggest stars will make a surprise appearance for a song or two, like Keith Urban did to promote his latest album. Most of the bars on lower Broadway — sometimes called the Honky Tonk Highway — are free from cover charges so you can stop in for a two-step or just gaze at the memorabilia on the walls, although it’s always good to tip the band when they pass the bucket around. Best picks are Robert’s Western World and Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge.

LASTING IMAGES TEMPLE CITY

LOS ANGELES — The star of ABC’s The Bachelor made anti-gay comments that drew a swift rebuke from the network and an apology from the bachelor himself on Saturday. Juan Pablo Galavis told website The TV Page that he didn’t think a gay or bisexual bachelor would set a good example for kids. On Saturday, Galavis posted an apology on his Facebook page, saying he respects gay people. Galavis blamed his bad choice of words on the fact that English is his second language, after Spanish.

The letterpress print shop that dates to 1879 recently moved to the newly renovated Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, but the packed shelves of thousands of wood blocks look right at home among the displays of country music artifacts that are spread throughout the building. There’s no cost to watch the presses and the staff churn out the iconic handmade posters

that have been used by everyone from Grand Ole Opry stars to blues and jazz greats and modern rock bands. Don’t miss the Haley Gallery which showcases reprints of original posters from the Hatch collection, as well as monoprints made by master printer Jim Sherraden.

Jack Daniel’s Distillery About 70 miles southeast of Nashville in the small town of Lynchburg is the home to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. It’s worth the drive to take a free tour of the oldest registered American distillery, where you can learn about the ingredients that go into Old No. 7, take a whiff of the charcoal mellowing process and see the barrels where whiskey is stored to mature. The iconic brand has inspired many classic country songs from artists like Miranda Lambert to Eric Church.

CMA Festival One of the city’s biggest parties is the annual CMA Festival, a four-day celebration of country music in June that has always been about connecting fans with their favorite musicians. While the nightly concerts at LP Field and the Bridgestone Arena require tickets, there are multiple stages set up around the city where artists play for free during the daytime. Last year, artists like Sara Evans, Ronnie Milsap and Brett Eldredge played on the riverfront along the Cumberland River.

Cumberland River The banks of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville are more than a place to watch barges pass. The Shelby Street pedestrian bridge over the river is one of the best viewpoints for the Nashville skyline that inspired Bob Dylan to write a country album. Besides the city skyline, the view from the bridge includes a 100-foot industrial steel sculpture created by Alice Aycock, the Tennessee Titans’ stadium, the spot where the first settlers founded Nashville at Fort Nashborough and a newly built city waterpark and playground.

Knightley adds new skill in latest film: Sign-spinning

PARK CITY, Utah — Director Lynn Shelton has a great idea for how to market her new film, Laggies: put video of Keira Knightley dancing as a sign-spinner on YouTube. Knightley demonstrates some sweet moves and deft sign-spinning skills in one of the opening scenes of the film, which premiered Friday at the Sundance Film Festival. The actress plays Megan, a 28-year-old who feels directionless despite her graduate degree and stable, 12-year relationship. The Associated Press

Diverse water supply portfolio put into action By Stephen Wiman For The New Mexican

Home library

evolution By Kim Cook The Associated Press

ith the advent of tablets, cellphones and e-readers, could the booklined home library go the way of the formal dining room? Not a chance, designers and retailers say. Digital and print books can co-exist, says House Beautiful’s editor in chief, Newell Turner. “When there’s an endless river of [digital] content, the words, text and images we choose to print and bind into a physical book will make [it] even more special,” he said. And books, in their variety of shapes and sizes, can be art in their own right, he says. Certainly, many people display richly illustrated coffee table books. And at Hearst’s October 2013 Designer Visions show house in New York, Jamie Drake took the books-as-art notion literally: For his House Beautiful apartment, he turned large books spine sides in and stacked them geometrically in wall recesses to flank a fireplace as sculptural art. “Books are precious and beautiful, both their contents and materials. I was inspired to provoke thoughts, placing the bulk of the spines away from the viewer, thus highlighting the thousands of paper pages and creating a sense of desire to discover what lies within,” he says. For Elle Decor at the show house, Alessandra Branca created a warm, intimate library with just two bookshelves and a chrome easel for a flat-screen television. A large Candida Hofer photograph of Dublin’s Trinity College Library provided a trompe l’oeil effect, as if the library extended into the image. Branca imagined the space, which included walls

covered in chocolatey faux bois (wood-grain appearance) sateen and a plump sofa blanketed in tartan, as a room where you could store favorite vintage books but also use a digital reader. “Nothing can replace the wonderful feel of sitting curled up with a book, or the happenstance of discovering a book on the shelf that you haven’t seen for a while, particularly books on art, architecture or design,” she say. “I think we’ll always love the physical aspect of a book in hand, but I’ve found I buy more and more of my new fiction online.” New York interior designer Elaine Griffin sees the role of home libraries changing. “We’ve come a long way from the English country homeinspired libraries of the ’80s — those spaces that looked like Carson (the butler on Downton Abbey) might come in at any moment to do a little dusting,” Griffin says. “Today’s home libraries are retreats, actually — places to retreat as an individual from the more chaotic, group-themed spaces of the rest of the house.” Home libraries are reading sanctuaries, she says, but clients often want a TV included. “The space is an alternative to the Great Room, used for solo viewing, for snuggling, for seclusion.” Many modern bookshelves are multi-purpose, with space to display objects as well as reading matter. All Modern stocks TFG Connections’ black powdercoated steel frame with java oak shelves; the components can be configured a number of ways. Modloft’s Pearl bookcase has open shelves in a contemporary zigzag design; finishes include white, wenge (a dark wood) and walnut with chrome supports.

wood tones keep the ambience warm, but consider white or even an interesting color — creamy yellow or rich carmine (deep red), for example — so books, accessories and art will pop. Add a rolling library ladder; Home Depot offers several in maple, cherry or oak finishes. Spanish design house Playoffice turns a run-of-the-mill home library into a playhouse with a sturdy mesh net suspended across

the whole space like an enormous hammock. Kids (and adults) can take pillows and books up to the net to read and, literally, hang out. The studio has also designed a clever “Secret Reading” wall — a series of cupboards made from inexpensive chipboard that includes bookshelves and kid-size cushioned cubbies. Doors can be closed to hide the secret readers and other stuff. Puck lights are built into the cubby ceilings.

oth the city of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County are committed to conjunctive management of water, based on the sustainability principle of prioritizing the use of renewable surface water and preserving groundwater for droughts or emergencies. But it is not always that easy. Extracting water from the Rio Grande is what drives the Buckman Direct Diversion project, but it is commonly necessary to pump the Buckman wells in times of high turbidity and high suspended solids during and after storm events. Despite the welcome monsoonal rains in September, turbidity and solids necessitated switching among the diverse portfolio of water-supply sources available to meet demand. For water utility customers, there were noticeable changes in water quality. We had numerous comments from our customers that water quality was not consistent and that they were experiencing more “hardness.” Groundwater is generally higher in hardness (predominantly calcium and magnesium) than surface water, but testing confirmed that some of the staining they were experiencing was due to the higher silica levels also found in local groundwater. Another complication this past fall was that previously scheduled infrastructure improvements to Nichols MORE Reservoir (which has a maxHOME imum capacity of 684 acreThis column feet of water) required that appears reguit be drained. Surface water larly in Home: (snowmelt and rain) from Santa Fe Real the 22-square-mile Santa Estate Guide, Fe River watershed drains which is pubinto the larger, upstream lished every first McClure Reservoir Sunday of the (maximum capacity 3,257 month in The acre-feet) and then flows New Mexican. about 2.7 miles to Nichols Read more Home stories Reservoir, from which it is at www. released (on demand) into a santafenew 24-inch pipeline that delivmexican.com/ ers untreated surface water life/home. to the Canyon Road Water Treatment Plant. It certainly made some residents very happy that there was more water being slowly released into the Santa Fe River because Nichols was being bypassed. But what about drought? At this writing, Santa Fe County is still classified as being under severe to extreme drought conditions. Due largely to the localized September monsoonal rains, most regional reservoirs (but not McClure) are at very low levels. This includes Heron Reservoir, where San Juan-Chama Project water is stored. The flow from this Colorado River drainage area is expected to be down 25 percent from the 30-year average. But in 2013, and despite earlier predictions to the contrary, San Juan-Chama Project customers, including Santa Fe, did receive their full allotments. Because we will need carryover water for diversion in the 2014 irrigation season, water planners are concerned about the long-term consequences if there is not significant snowfall in the major watersheds this winter. In yet another 2013 study, the Bureau of Reclamation detailed the impact of drought on this drainage area. This is the West-Wide Climate Risk Assessment: Upper Rio Grande Impact Assessment. Read the executive summary and particularly the “Summary of Impacts for Water Management” at www.usbr.gov/ WaterSMART/wcra/reports/urgia.html. The authors are actually more optimistic about the reliability of the (already declining) San Juan-Chama Project supply than about the declining native Rio Grande supply. Local water planners are monitoring the regional precipitation measurements closely because we are heavily dependent on both of these water sources to drive the Buckman Direct Diversion, or we again must resort to pumping groundwater.

Memo from God

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014: This year you often go back and forth from being serious to whimsical. People act as if they don’t know which facet of your personality they will encounter. Try to explain more of what you are thinking about. A partner and/or friends would appreciate the insight. If you are single, you will need a full year to determine whether the person you have met is the right one for you. If you are attached, the two of you have a more dynamic interaction than you have had in a while. Enjoy the excitement! Aquarius has interesting ideas about money and how to use it. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could have an errand or two to complete before getting together with others for brunch. Note that you will have a tendency to go overboard, so a little self-discipline will go far. You might feel slightly off-kilter part of the afternoon. Tonight: Thoughts surround a close friend. This Week: You can’t control anyone but yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your creativity will come up with a solution to an issue that has been caused by sudden change. You might be gaining new insight about a loved one. Let this person be who he or she is. Tonight: Add more spice to your life. This Week: You enter the week in a playful mood, and you end it on a similar note.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Choose relaxing plans, as you are entering a very busy few weeks. You will want to have the energy to be receptive to others. You already might be getting a sense of what is about to happen. Tonight: Accept a dinner invitation. This Week: Gather information, and then share what you think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH If you feel the need to stay close to home, do. Others might express their concern at your unusually low profile. You simply might need a break from the hectic pace. Indulge yourself. You will get a little time off before the pace picks back up. Tonight: Do not push. This Week: Tuesday and Wednesday you will feel appreciated, despite the uproar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Share more of what is happening with someone you care about. This person might not be sure of his or her role in this situation, and you might not know, either. A discussion will help both of you figure out what to do. Tonight: Start thinking about tomorrow. This Week: You are on a roll Monday; use this day to the max.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You will want to become more aware of a special person in your life. You might assume that you already know this person, but he or she seems to be changing right in front of you. Tonight: Chat over dinner. This Week: Speak your mind, but don’t expect responses until Thursday.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You are likely to become even more serious than you have been as of late. A friend or new associate will be a breath of fresh air, as his or her presence will give you a break from your tasks. Use the morning to get some R and R. Tonight: Add mischief into the mix. Tonight: By midweek, you finally will get the audience you deserve.

Last week’s answers

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You have a lot on your mind, and you’ll be determined to discuss what you are considering with several friends. They might not be as comfortable with your

ideas as you are, so realize that their feedback could reflect that discomfort. Tonight: Happy to be home. This Week: Use Monday and Thursday for important matters. SAGITTARIUS(Nov.22-Dec.21) HHH Don’t allow a parent or older friend to push you too hard to join him or her today. You might have some very special plans with a loved one. Refuse to take away from this scheduled time together. A child could surprise you. Tonight: Let the good times roll. This Week: Take your responsibilities seriously; success will follow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out to someone whom you care about but often don’t visit. Arrange to Skype with each other, or make plans to visit soon. Even established friendships need nurturing. Be smart. Make time for this person. Tonight: Make it your treat. This Week: Read between the lines. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Enjoy going to brunch with a loved one. You might be startled by what someone around you does. Later, you will laugh about the incident. Communication needs to be spontaneous, no matter who you are speaking with. Tonight: You have a lot of energy. This Week: Intensity marks your interactions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Call a friend you have not spoken with in some time. Your sense of humor will take the edge off if he or she makes a startling statement or judgment. You are more creative than you might believe. Listen to news that comes forward. Tonight: Let others wonder. This Week: Others are more receptive than you think.

ASHINGTON MEMO From: God Re: Gay people I’m writing to correct the apparently widespread impression that it’s OK to be a bigot in My name. This situation recently arose when that noted American theologian Phil Robertson, the fella with the Me-like beard who whittles wood into things that quack, declared that, on the authority of his deeply held traditional Christian values, gay people are just awful. When he was punished for this by his employer, he found himself defended by many prominent conservatives, includGene ing Sarah Palin, who charged he was being censored by secularists for his Weingarten religious beliefs — all as part of a supThe Washington posed War on Me. Post I can assure you there is no War on Me, for the obvious reason that if there were a War on Me, you would know it because it would be over very quickly and dramatically. There would be targeted plagues — boils, frogs, hemorrhoids, etc. — and surgical tornado strikes. I am not a subtle deity. When I wished to express disapproval of general public behavior, I sent a flood that wiped out the entire planet except one guy and his family. But I do need to clarify the gay thing. It is true that the Old Testament looked with distinct disfavor on men who lie with men. But it also looked with distinct disfavor on anyone with “a flat nose.” It said that if, on her wedding day, a woman is found not to be a virgin, she is to be put to death, along with equally heinous criminals who were caught working on the Sabbath. The Old Testament also says this: If a man is fighting with another man, and one man’s wife tries to help her husband by squeezing his opponent’s testicles, the woman’s hand must be chopped off. I still can’t recall writing that, but here it is, Deuteronomy 25: 11-12, still stinking up the joint like an old mackerel. Oh, I also wrote that a man may not “discover his father’s skirt,” a line that biblical scholars have been assiduously puzzling over for millennia. What subtle metaphor or parable was I reaching for? Some have suggested that by “skirt” I meant “woman.” No. Your deity does not talk like Sinatra. Well, here’s the real answer: no idea what I meant. It was 4,000 years ago for the love of Me! My point is, I am not a perfect God. I have written stuff that is wrongheaded, and stuff that is plain goofy. But as it happens, I am a just God, so I have tried to make up for my errors where I can. You guys need to be alert to these things, because they have Meaning. For example, in the New Testament, My Only Begotten Son amends the 7th Commandment thus: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Behold: This stern admonishment only applies to men lusting for women. Note what variety of lust I was specifically exempting? Have fun, fellas. Sorry about that earlier thing.
