A close-up photo of an unsealed waste container from LANL was taken May 22 at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad. The container would not have met federal transportation standards to get on the road from Los Alamos to Carlsbad, nor would it have been accepted at WIPP, if the lab had reported its true ingredients.

Documents show LANL officials downplayed dangers and withheld critical information after one of the lab’s drums caused leak at WIPP By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

n the summer of 2012, Gov. Susana Martinez visited the hilltop facilities of Los Alamos National Laboratory to commemorate a milestone. The lab, under an agreement with the state, had just shipped its 1,000th truckload of Cold War-era nuclear waste from the grounds of Los Alamos to a salt cavern deep under the Southern New Mexico desert. The achievement meant the lab was well on its way to meeting a June 30, 2014, deadline imposed by Martinez to remove radioactive gloves, machinery and other equipment left over from decades of nuclear weapons research. For Los Alamos National Security LLC, the private consortium that operates the lab, the stakes were high. Meeting the deadline would help it secure an extension of its $2.2 billion annual contract from the U.S. Department of Energy. But the following summer, workers packaging the waste came across a batch that was extraordinarily acidic, making it unsafe for shipping. The lab’s guidelines called for work to shut down while the batch underwent a rigid set of reviews to determine how to treat it, a time-consuming process that jeopardized the lab’s goal of meeting the deadline. Instead, the lab and its various contractors took shortcuts in treating the acidic nuclear waste, adding neutralizer and a wheat-based organic kitty litter to absorb excess liquid. The combination turned the waste into a potential bomb that one lab chemist later characterized as akin to plastic explosives, according to a six-month investigation by The New Mexican. The lab then shipped a 55-gallon drum of the volatile material 330 miles to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, the nation’s only underground repository for nuclear waste, southeast of Carlsbad. Documents accompanying the drum, which were supposed to include a detailed description of its contents, were deeply flawed. They made no mention of the acidity or the neutralizer, and they mischaracterized the kitty litter as a clay-based material — not the more combustible organic variety that most chemists would have recognized as hazardous if mixed with waste laden with nitrate salts, according to interviews and a review of thousands of pages of documents and internal emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. On Feb. 14, with the campaign to clear the waste from Los Alamos more than 90 percent complete, the drum’s lid cracked open. Radiation leaked into the air. Temperatures in the underground chamber soared to 1,600 degrees, threatening dozens of nearby drums. At least 20 workers were contaminated with what federal officials have described as low levels of radiation — though one worker has filed a lawsuit saying his health has drastically deteriorated due to radiation exposure. The facility, meanwhile, remains shut down as an estimated $500 million recovery effort expected to last several years gets underway, leaving thousands of containers of nuclear waste destined for WIPP stranded at national laboratories across the country.

Hispanics flock to Pentecostal congregations Longtime Catholics increasingly leave to find a ‘spiritual awakening’ By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Santa Reyes, 44, left Mexico eight years ago for a better life in Santa Fe. Things didn’t go so well at first. Her husband started coming home late and drunk. Her 24-year-old son became addicted to cocaine. And her 18-year-old daughter got sick. Reyes couldn’t find economic, emotional or spiritual support anywhere. Four years ago, as she was desperately searching for her son — who often did not come home for days at a time — she walked into a local Pentecostal church. Members of the congregation invited her to stay for the service, and they prayed for her. Pentecostal churches are fundamentalist groups that emphasize a direct personal experience with God through the Holy Spirit. “I felt such a peace that I’ve never felt before,” Reyes said. “I started to cry a lot.” Like many Latin Americans, Reyes was raised Catholic. And like many thousands, she left the Church in search of spiritual awakening in a conservative Protestant

Oil company has eyes on African park’s resources By Jeffrey Gettleman The New York Times

VIRUNGA NATIONAL PARK, Democratic Republic of Congo — The trouble started when a British company suddenly appeared in this iconic and spectacularly beautiful national park, prospecting for oil. Villagers who opposed the project were beaten up by government soldiers. A park warden, who tried to block the oil company, SOCO International, from building a cellphone tower in the park, was kidnapped and tortured. Virunga’s director nearly killed hours after he delivered a secret report on the oil company’s activities. Much like the fight over drilling on federal lands in the U.S., the struggle over oil exploration in Africa’s national parks is a classic quandary, pitting economic

NATION&WORLD By Frederic J. Frommer The Associated Press

A long queue of displaced Pakistanis wait to register as refugees in Matoon, Afghanistan, a village on the outskirts of the provincial capital of Khost, on July 21. A Pakistani offensive against militants in North Waziristan has driven a wave of Pashtuns to seek shelter with sympathetic kin in Afghanistan — a reversal of decades of refugee traffic in the opposite direction. DIEGO IBARRA SANCHEZ/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Pakistanis fleeing war flow into Afghanistan Refuge, shelter sought in tribal regions along eastern border By Carlotta Gall and Garooq Jan Mangal The New York Times

GULAN CAMP, Afghanistan hrough three decades of war, waves of Afghans have fled their homes along the eastern border areas, many of them seeking shelter in the Pakistani tribal regions next door. Last summer another wave of refugees surged through the area. But in a reversal, it is Pakistanis, not Afghans, who are fleeing war at home. “There was fighting everywhere,” said Sadamullah, a laborer who fled with his family last month from Dattakhel, a district in Pakistan’s tribal areas. “There was shelling, and military forces were firing mortars on our villages. They carried out an operation in our area, and a woman was killed by them.” Sadamullah, who like many tribesmen here has only one name, was speaking about the Pakistani military’s continuing offensive against Islamist militants in the North Waziristan region. The military has been clearing territory in the region since June, forcing an exodus of at least 1.5 million residents. As many as 250,000 of them have since crossed the border into Afghanistan, officials say. The tribal communities on both sides of the border are Pashtun, and many of the refugees from the Pakistani side have found shelter with relatives or sympathetic families on the Afghan side, mostly in Khost and Paktika provinces. In some cases, refugees have been able to rent or borrow a patch of land or a walled compound for their families and some livestock. But the poorest — about 3,000 families, according to the United Nations refugee agency — are perched in Gulan Camp, a stretch of rough stones and reed bushes in the Gorbuz district of Khost, just a few miles from the border. Canvas tents spread out toward the brown crags of the horizon. Women are cloistered behind flimsy screens, and children, who make up 65 percent of the camp population, dart in

and out under the canvas flaps. The men have started building mud walls around the tents in an attempt to give better protection against the coming winter. Most families came on foot, and often fled in haste with few belongings. Many tell the same story: a public warning by the Pakistani army giving them three days to leave their homes, desperate negotiations as elders tried to win permission for civilians to stay, and then the terror of the artillery and aerial bombardments of their villages. “We left everything — hens, ducks, carpets,” said a widow, Shakila Saidgi, who fled her village in June. “We slept on the way in the mountains.” She said that Pakistani forces began bombarding her village in Waziristan at 4 in the morning, striking the mosque where the men were gathered for dawn prayer. Her nephew was among the wounded. “When the sun rose, we left,” she said. Refugees arriving in recent days said the 5-month-old operation was continuing and even expanding. They told of Pakistani jets bombing villages and the army firing artillery barrages. “The fighting was between the Taliban and the government, but our villages were bombarded and that’s why the people got fed up and left the area,” said Musa Kalim Wazir, a shepherd from Tank village in Dattakhel district. People did not dare to return to their homes, because whenever the army came under attack by insurgents it responded by bombarding nearby villages, he said. Afghan officials, still grappling with a host of problems of their own, not least a continuing insurgency and thousands of internally displaced, now face an added burden of a quarter of a million refugees from Pakistan whose presence is turning into a long-term prospect. “Winter is already here and all of the refugees are facing a shortage of assistance,” said Muhammad Akbar Zadran, the governor of Gurbaz district. “A group of refugees came to my office, and they told me that different diseases were spreading among their children. If they don’t get urgent treatment then it is possible that in coming days we will witness a precarious situation.”

Hong Kong activists kept from flying to Beijing HONG KONG — A group of pro-democracy activists from Hong Kong were prevented Saturday from boarding a flight to Beijing, where they had hoped to lobby the Chinese government to heed their calls for free elections. The plan by the three activists, leaders of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, to talk directly with Prime Minister Li Keqiang and other officials had been certain to be rejected by the Chinese government. But the attempt to fly to Beijing represented another round in a battle of images and rhetoric that has pitted the protesters against the Hong Kong government and Beijing. In the end, the three student leaders — Alex Chow, Nathan Law and Eason Chung — did not even leave Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific, the airline whose subsidiary, Dragonair, operates the flight to Beijing that they planned to board, told them that the Chinese authorities had rescinded their entry permits, which Hong Kong residents need to go to mainland China, according to Lester Shum, another student leader. Dozens of cheering and singing supporters gathered in the airport’s departure area, many holding up yellow umbrellas, which have been an emblem of the protests since demonstrators used umbrellas to ward off police pepper spray.

New majority status to test GOP in 2016 presidential race WASHINGTON — Now that their party has seized the Senate and faces the pressure of governing, an ambitious group of first-term Republicans may try to use that new majority status, and the opportunities it brings, as a springboard to the presidency in 2016. While many sitting senators have tried to make that jump, Barack Obama is the only one to accomplish that in the past half-century. That history doesn’t seem to be deterring at least four from trying to capitalize on their party’s success in the midterm elections for possible runs for national office: Rand Paul of Kentucky, Marco Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and Rob Portman from Ohio. Each represents a different strain within the GOP. Cruz, for example, is the tea partyer elected in 2012 who led the GOP through the last government shutdown. Rubio, voted in two years earlier, is a foreign policy hard-liner who supports a path to legal status for immigrants who are in the United States illegally. Hillary Rodham Clinton remains the overwhelming Democratic front-runner, if she gets in, while more than a dozen Republicans are considering the race. In addition to the four senators, that list includes former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Scott Walker of Wisconsin. They are promoting the inherent advantages that state leaders have over those elected to a Congress suffering from gridlock and anti-Washington sentiment. New Mexican wire services

Cosby appearance on ‘Late Show’ canceled amid uproar NEW YORK — Bill Cosby’s upcoming appearance on CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman has been canceled amid a growing uproar over allegations that he sexually assaulted several women in past decades. Cosby spokesman David Brokaw confirmed Friday night that Cosby would not appear next Wednesday as previously scheduled. He did not say why. Late Show representative Kimberly Izzo-Emmet said, “We can’t comment on the guest booking process.” She said Regis Philbin would be the replacement guest. Another canceled engagement, on The Queen Latifah Show on Oct. 30, was characterized by that show as a postponement granted at Cosby’s request. Barbara Bowman, one of Cosby’s accusers, has recently leveled allegations of sexual assault by the comic in interviews and in a Washington Post online column, writing that “Cosby won my trust as a 17-year-old aspiring actress in 1985, brainwashed me into viewing him as a father figure, and then assaulted me multiple times.” The standup comedian Hannibal Buress last month brought heat on Cosby at a performance in Philadelphia. His routine, during which he assailed Cosby as “a rapist,” was captured on video and posted online, gaining wide exposure.

Ban sought for animal testing on cosmetics WASHINGTON — Hoping to build off recent bans in Europe and India, opponents of animal testing for cosmetics plan to make a big push for a similar prohibition in the United States. The effort could be a tough sell in a Republican-controlled Congress. Virginia Democrat Don Beyer is expected to take the lead on the issue when the new Congress convenes next January. He is succeeding retiring Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., who has introduced legislation that would prohibit testing cosmetic products on animals, as well as the sale of any new cosmetics if the final product or any component was developed using animal testing. “The United States must be a world leader and not a follower,” Beyer told supporters in a campaign email highlighting the issue. His state is home to several cosmetic companies, such as Tri Tech Laboratories of Lynchburg, a custom manufacturer of personal care products. Last year, the European Union banned the sale of new cosmetic products containing ingredients tested on animals, and India followed with a similar ban. Sara Amundson, executive director of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, called the Moran bill a “marker” to build political support, with a sustained lobbying effort to follow next year. To date, more than 140 cosmetic companies have endorsed the bill, including Paul Mitchell, the Body Shop and LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics. The legislation might not face the most receptive environment next year, with regulation-averse Republicans running both houses of Congress, but Amundson said that proponents will cast it in a pro-business light. “If U.S. companies have to comply with what’s already transpiring, for example, in the EU, one would want to ensure there aren’t any trade barriers,” she said. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, said if a bill is introduced next year, “we could take a look at it to get a better understanding at that time.” Of the 55 co-sponsors of the Moran bill, only one was a Republican — Michael Grimm of New York. The Humane Society Legislative Fund donated $5,000 to Grimm’s campaign, citing his leadership and advocacy on animal protection issues.

Health workers in protective suits transport Dr. Martin Salia from a jet that brought him from Sierra Leone to a waiting ambulance Saturday that will take him to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Neb. NATI HARNIK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Surgeon with Ebola arrives in Nebraska Doctor diagnosed with disease to receive treatment By Margery Beck and Jessica Gresko The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — A surgeon who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone arrived in Nebraska on Saturday for treatment at a biocontainment unit where two other people with the disease have been successfully treated. Dr. Martin Salia, who was diagnosed with Ebola on Monday, landed at Eppley Airfield in Omaha on Saturday afternoon and was taken by ambulance to the Nebraska Medical Center. The hospital said the medical crew that accompanied Salia, 44, from West Africa determined he was stable enough to fly, but that the team caring for him in Sierra Leone indicated he was critically ill and “possibly sicker than the first patients successfully treated in the U.S.” The disease has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Of the 10 people treated for the disease in the U.S., all but one has recovered. Salia’s ambulance to the hospital was accompanied by a single Nebraska State Patrol cruiser and a fire department vehicle — a

subdued arrival in contrast to the August delivery of Dr. Rick Sacra, whose ambulance was flanked by numerous police cars, motorcycles and fire vehicles. Salia has been working as a general surgeon at Kissy United Methodist Hospital in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown. It’s not clear whether he was involved in the care of Ebola patients. Kissy is not an Ebola treatment unit, but Salia worked in at least three other facilities, United Methodist News said, citing health ministry sources. Salia, a Sierra Leone citizen who lives in Maryland, first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus. He eventually tested positive on Monday. Salia’s wife, Isatu Salia, said in an interview that when she spoke to her husband early Friday, his voice sounded weak and shaky. But he told her “I love you” in a steady voice, she said.

BAGHDAD — When the militants of the Islamic State entered the Sunni Arab area of Al Alam, they gave its tribal leaders a message of reconciliation: We are here to defend you and all the Sunnis, they said, so join us. But after a group of angry residents sneaked out one night, burned the jihadists’ black banners and raised Iraqi flags, the response was swift. “They started blowing up the houses of tribal leaders and those who were in the security forces,” Laith alJubouri, a local official, said. Since then, the jihadists have demolished dozens of homes and kidnapped more than 100 residents, he said. The cap-

tives’ fates remain unknown. In the Islamic State’s rapid consolidation of Sunni parts of Iraq and Syria, the jihadists have used a double-pronged strategy to gain the obedience of Sunni tribes. While using their abundant cash and arms to entice

tribal leaders to join their selfdeclared caliphate, the jihadists have also eliminated potential foes, hunting down soldiers, police officers, government officials and anyone who once cooperated with the United States as it battled al-Qaida in Iraq.

Now, as the United States and the Iraqi government urgently seek to enlist the Sunni tribes to fight the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, they are struggling to undo the militants’ success in co-opting or conquering the majority of them.

Russian TV claims it has photo of MH17 fall By Vladimir Isachenkov The Associated Press

MOSCOW — Russian state television has released a satellite photograph that it claims shows that a Ukrainian fighter jet shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. But many commentators dismissed the photo as a fake. All 298 people aboard the Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed when it was shot down July 17 over a rebel-held area of Ukraine. Ukraine and the West have blamed the attack on Russia-backed rebels using a ground-to-air missile.

The photo released Friday by Russia’s Channel One and Rossiya TV stations purportedly shows a Ukrainian fighter plane firing an air-to-air missile in the direction of the MH17. The channels said they received the photo in an email. The U.S. State Department on Friday dismissed the Russian TV reports as yet another “preposterous” attempt by Moscow to “obfuscate the truth and ignore ultimate respon-

sibility for the tragic downing of MH17.” It renewed a call to Moscow and Russia-backed separatists to “grant unfettered access for international investigators to the crash site.” Several bloggers said the photograph is a forgery, citing a cloud pattern to prove the photo dates back to 2012, and several other details that seem incongruous. Some saw the photo as a

propaganda effort intended to deflect criticism over the tragedy that Russian President Vladimir Putin faces as he attends the Group of 20 summit in Brisbane, Australia. Mark Solonin, a Russian author who is an engineer by training, said in his blog that both aircraft looked disproportionate to the landscape and concluded that their images were crudely edited into a satellite picture.

from lanl to leak

On May 30, WIPP recovery teams obtained samples from a damaged waste drum and nearby magnesium oxide piles to help determine the cause of a radiological leak at the storage facility.

Missteps and secrets Federal board exploring what role profit motive and rush to meet deadline played Continued from Page A-1 Even before the waste was treated at Los Alamos, mistakes had been made that could have been instrumental in causing the accident at WIPP. Emails between WIPP contractors involved in the leak investigation indicate that something as simple as a typographical error in a revision of LANL’s procedural manual for processing waste containing nitrate salts may have precipitated a switch from inorganic clay kitty litter to the organic variety. And for two years preceding the February incident, the lab refused to allow inspectors conducting annual permitting audits for the New Mexico Environment Department inside the facility where waste was treated. Only since the radiation leak has the Environment Department demanded that it go inside the facility for inspections. The waste container that ultimately burst would not have met federal transportation standards to get on the road from Los Alamos to Carlsbad, nor would it have been accepted at WIPP, if the lab had reported its true ingredients. Investigators have zeroed in on those ingredients as the possible cause of the chemical reaction that led to the radiation leak, although the exact catalyst for the reaction remains a mystery. The National Nuclear Security Administration’s Accident Investigation Board, an arm of the Energy Department, is expected to soon release findings of its investigation on the cause of the radiation leak. And the New Mexico Environment Department is set to begin levying fines against LANL that some lab officials expect could total $10 million or more. As its report takes shape, the federal board is exploring what role LANL contractors’ profit motive and the rush to meet the deadline imposed by the state Environment Department — a key objective necessary to fully extend its lucrative contract — played in the missteps that caused the leak. “We expect that that report will address this very specific question,” Mark Whitney, the Department of Energy’s acting assistant secretary of environmental management, told reporters during a teleconference in late September.

A patented explosive More than three months after the leak, LANL chemist Steve Clemmons compared the ingredients of the drum, labeled Waste Drum 68660, to a database of federal patents and found that together, the drum’s contents match the makeup of patented plastic, water-gel and slurry explosives, according to a memo. “All of the required components included in the patent claims would be present,” Clemmons wrote in the May 21 memo. Personnel at WIPP were oblivious to Clemmons’ discovery for nearly a week after he made it. Only after a Department of Energy employee leaked a copy of the memo to a colleague in Carlsbad the night before a planned entry into the room that held the ruptured drum did WIPP get word that it could be dealing with explosive components inside Waste Drum 68660. “Have you heard that we at the lab have confirmed that the material used in the drum DOES create an explosive mixture????” James O’Neil of the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration wrote May 27 to Hung-Cheng Chiou, who works at the Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Field Office. In a follow-up email, O’Neil clarified what he meant: “A letter from the LANL chemistry group here … stated that putting the type of kitty litter of sorts mixed with the nitrate salts created a patented explosive mixture.” “Wow, that is the news to me,” Chiou wrote back. “How can the explosive mixture be in the drum content that could be sent to WIPP?” O’Neil expressed his own surprise that such a dangerous load was allowed to be shipped to WIPP. “Not sure how [that] type drum, which does not meet WIPP [waste acceptance criteria] even got shipped to you guys,” he wrote. From there, word of the memo reached managers at WIPP. “I am appalled that LANL didn’t provide us this information!” Dana Bryson, deputy manager of the Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Field Office, wrote

in an email to WIPP-based field office manager Jose Franco and others when she learned of the memo. LANL officials, in a written statement from a spokesman, said scientific testing has eliminated the explosive nature of the waste as the cause of the radiation leak. Numerous experiments trying to replicate the conditions in Waste Drum 68660 have failed to yield the same result, officials said. But Greg Mello, executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, a watchdog organization that tracks activities at the lab, said LANL should have recognized the potentially volatile mix it had concocted before shipping it to WIPP, rather than three months after it burst. “It took only seconds with Google to find explosives patents” when the foremost ingredients in Waste Drum 68660 were punched in, he said. On May 27, when they learned of the memo about patented explosives that the lab hadn’t shared with them, supervisors at WIPP abandoned plans for the next day to sample the area where the breach occurred, fearing it was too dangerous. “In a phone call with LANL, they indicated that there is a possibility that any sampling of the kitty litter/drum contents could cause another event,” David Freeman, Nuclear Waste Partnership’s chief nuclear engineer, wrote in an email. Bryson demanded answers from Peter Maggiore, the National Nuclear Security Administration’s assistant manager for environmental programs at LANL. “We have a formal letter on LANL letterhead implying there is a real and present danger in the WIPP underground,” Bryson wrote. “This is contrary to everything I have heard from LANL on this issue. The email you sent from LANL implied there might be more of these hidden yet formal warnings.” Chiou, too, was livid when he learned that the Los Alamos-based employee who first alerted WIPP personnel to the threat was reprimanded by the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos Site Office for sharing that information. “This is direct contradiction of DOE/ NNSA policy and what we believed in,” Chiou wrote to Franco, Bryson and others. “It is most important that we have the information (regardless official or unofficial) so that we as [the Carlsbad Field Office of the Energy Department] can make better informed decisions as best we could. However, it may not work that way as it seems. … I hope that we can do better in getting relevant information from LANL so we can make a better decision for the WIPP project.” After a conference call with LANL officials, WIPP decision-makers on May 30 sent workers in protective suits into the room to collect samples. But a June 17 report by LANL personnel based at WIPP found the intense underground flare may have destabilized up to 55 more drums of waste that were in close proximity to Waste Drum 68660 when it ruptured, calling into question whether they, too, had become poised to burst. “[The high heat event] may have dried out some of the unreacted oxidizer-organic mixtures increasing their potential for spontaneous reaction,” the report said. “The dehydration of the fuel-oxidizer mixtures caused by the heating of the drums is recognized as a condition known to increase the potential for reaction.”

Keeping secrets Frustrations over LANL’s reluctance to share what it knew about Waste Drum 68660 had been percolating at WIPP long before the discovery of the memo that suggested the drum contained all the ingredients of a patented plastic explosive. A May 5 email between WIPP employee James Willison and federal contractor Fran Williams suggested LANL was reluctant to acknowledge the most basic details about what Waste Drum 68660 held. “LANL used a wheat-based kitty litter rather than clay-based kitty litter as a stabilizer,” Willison wrote. “They fessed up after we nailed down the general area. … At least now we know.” “Wow,” Williams responded. “How bad is that?” On paper, the volatile combination of contents inside the drum that burst were not evident to experts who reviewed them because they were not included in the list of ingredients Los Alamos is required to generate for regulatory purposes and to assure the

waste is stable enough to be accepted at WIPP. In the case of Waste Drum 68660, that report, known as acceptable knowledge, was woefully incomplete and portrayed the mix as far more stable than it truly was, according to the emails. In documents filed with the New Mexico Environment Department before the accident, LANL reported that the waste in the drum that would later burst “is stable and will not undergo violent chemical change without detonating,” and “there is no indication that the waste contains explosive materials, and it is not capable of detonation or explosive reaction. The materials in the waste stream are therefore not reactive wastes.” Los Alamos’ description of the drum’s contents was so flawed that post-accident reviews by WIPP personnel resulted in a revised acceptable knowledge report in May that included everything that had been left out of the original. “Be sure and read the AK [acceptable knowledge] description … it assumed that the absorbent was clay based,” Freeman wrote to another waste specialist at WIPP. “A neutralizing agent was used [at LANL] to obtain a neutral pH — though not in the procedure and not documented,” Freeman wrote in another message. A WIPP report that followed stated: “These chemicals not being considered could lead to an incomplete AK record which could be a violation of the WIPP hazardous waste facility permit requirements.” Yet another WIPP briefing paper suggests that even though the contents inside Waste Drum 68660 came from an unusually acidic batch of waste with a pH of zero, appropriate handling at LANL could have mitigated the threat, but the use of the wrong neutralizer failed to reconcile the problem and in fact exacerbated it. And in the lab’s description of the waste before it shipped to WIPP, its uniquely high acidity was not reported. “If the manufacturer’s directions were followed, the liquid would have been neutralized to a pH of approximately 7,” Michael Papp, a waste composition specialist at Nuclear Waste Partnership, wrote to managers for the contractor. “However, the final pH of the liquid was not included in the repackaging paperwork.”

A costly typo In a damning report issued in October, the Department of Energy’s Office of Inspector General chided LANL and its waste packaging subcontractor EnergySolutions for the change from clay-based to organic kitty litter and the use of an acid neutralizer. “This action may have led to an adverse chemical reaction within the drums resulting in serious safety implications,” the report said, referring to the litter change. A lab spokesman said LANL officials recognize deficiencies in the lab’s safety processes were spotlighted by the disaster at WIPP. But LANL has never publicly acknowledged the reason it switched from clay-based litter to the organic variety believed to be the fuel that fed the intense heat. In internal emails, nuclear waste specialists pondered several theories about the reason for the change in kitty litters before settling on an almost comically simplistic conclusion that has never been publicly discussed: A typographical error in a revision to a LANL policy manual for repackaging waste led to a wholesale shift from clay litter to the wheat-based variety. The revision, approved by LANL, took effect Aug. 1, 2012, mere days after the governor’s celebratory visit to Los Alamos, and explicitly directed waste packagers at the lab to “ENSURE an organic absorbent (kitty litter) is added to the waste” when packaging drums of

nitrate salt. “Does it seem strange that the procedure was revised to specifically require organic kitty litter to process nitrate salt drums?” Freeman, Nuclear Waste Partnership’s chief nuclear engineer at WIPP, asked a colleague in a May 28 email. Freeman went on to echo some of the possible reasons for the change bandied about in earlier emails, such as the offputting dust or perfumed scents characteristic of clay litter. But his colleague, Mark Pearcy, a member of the team that reviews waste to ensure it is acceptable to be stored at WIPP, offered a surprising explanation. “General consensus is that the ‘organic’ designation was a typo that wasn’t caught,” he wrote, implying that the directions should have called for inorganic litter. Officials at LANL declined to comment about whether a typographical error led to the switch to organic kitty litter. Whatever the reason, LANL began treating waste with assorted varieties of organic kitty litter as early as September 2012, spawning thousands of drums of waste that hold the same organic threat that’s being eyed as a contributing factor in the rupture of Waste Drum 68660. Organic kitty litter may have been mixed in up to 5,565 containers of waste at LANL starting in September 2012 that were incorrectly labeled as holding inorganic litter, according to an assessment conducted by WIPP personnel. Notes from a May conference call with federal regulators contained in the emails show LANL’s use of organic kitty litter defied clear instructions from WIPP personnel to use the clay type. “[WIPP contractors] authorized ‘X’ for use and LANL used ‘Y,’ ” Todd Sellmer, transportation and packaging manager at Nuclear Waste Partnership, wrote in an email documenting the call.

Lax state oversight The push to speed up nuclear waste removal from Los Alamos began after the June 2011 Las Conchas Fire. The blaze, the largest in New Mexico history, scorched 156,000 acres in the Jemez Mountains and came within a few miles of LANL’s Area G, where 3,327.5 cubic feet of waste from decades of nuclear weapons development was stored. Worried that another fire would breach the compound, the state Environment Department and lab officials agreed to a June 30, 2014, deadline to clear The Hill of waste and ship it to WIPP. Meeting the goal meant big money for Los Alamos National Security, the private company formed eight years ago by Bechtel, Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services, URS Energy and Construction, and the University of California to operate LANL. The deadline was built into the federal grading scale that determines the contractor’s fee, and more importantly, whether LANS receives extensions of its $2.2 billion-ayear contract to operate the lab at Los Alamos. LANS already had been denied a one-year extension when it failed to meet goals associated with progress toward making several dilapidated facilities operable. But since the deadline was set, nuclear watchdog groups have publicly criticized Gov. Martinez’s Cabinet secretary for the Environment Department, Ryan Flynn, for relaxing the frequency of waste drum inspections during LANL’s cleanup campaign. Emails obtained by The New Mexican raise new questions about whether oversight of LANL’s waste packaging activities by Flynn’s department was sufficient. Department inspectors are required to conduct annual audits of the lab to ensure it meets state permitting guidelines. But in 2012 and 2013, Environment Department officials say, LANL warned them to stay out of the waste handling

facility because they did not have appropriate training to be around radioactive waste, according to emails. Jim Winchester, a spokesman for the Environment Department, said the state’s audit team didn’t insist on entering because it was “working on higher priority duties at the time that mandated our attention.” Only since the disaster at WIPP has the department insisted on getting access to the site where Waste Drum 68660 was processed. Flynn, meanwhile, has expressed similar frustrations with WIPP officials over what he has called LANL’s reluctance to share what it knows about the contents of the drum. He has made clear that the Environment Department is poised to levy steep penalties against the lab’s permit. “The more we investigate, the more we’re discovering at Los Alamos,” Flynn told The New Mexican in a September interview. It’s still unclear what impact the Feb. 14 leak will have on LANS and its contract, which runs through Oct. 1, 2017, according to federal records. Four managers overseeing the cleanup at the lab already have been replaced, and more shake-ups are underway. Federal officials, meanwhile, estimate a yearslong recovery plan to reopen WIPP will cost at least $500 million — a figure some critics characterize as an overly conservative guess. The financial consequences of the disaster were already becoming evident by May 7, when WIPP-based Department of Energy employee Irene Joo emailed a colleague to speculate about what had gone wrong at LANL. She wrote: “I expect we will all pay the price.” Contact Patrick Malone at 986-3017 or pmalone@sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter @pmalonenm.

denomination. Religious experts say the wave of Hispanic converts is related to the traditional social values of some Protestant churches and the feelings of some immigrants that they are more respected in non-Catholic churches. While many Latinos converted before leaving their home countries, others like Reyes were “saved” in Santa Fe at churches such as Centro Cristiano Casa de Dios on Santa Fe’s south side, which offers evangelical Spanish-language services. The church began almost 10 years ago in the living room of the pastor, Omar Orozco. Now, members gather at a makeshift temple in a lot on Airport Road, behind a taco food truck decorated with a poster of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The services are on Sunday evenings to accommodate the many members who work weekend mornings in the food and cleaning businesses in town. After services, many of the members gather at the taco truck for an evening meal. Orozco, 33, who is a second-generation Pentecostal from Chihuahua, moved to Santa Fe when he was 7 years old. His family was proselytized by Pentecostal missionaries who arrived in Chihuahua in the 1980s. He said when his family immigrated to Santa Fe, they didn’t attend a church because it was difficult to find a local Spanish-language Pentecostal church. Andrew Chesnut, author of Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint, and the chairman of Catholic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, said many former Catholics turn to Protestant religions after experiencing a deep personal crisis. Once they get involved in the new church, they stay because they notice the pastor has a similar background and the services are in sync with their cultural traditions, Chesnut said. Hispanic Protestant congregations help them with immigration issues and social services. Orozco, who manages a cleaning crew that works for local hotels, said he has hired some of his church members when they are in need of a job. Others have used the pastor as a professional reference when they are applying for a job. “Some of the churches are really good about speaking and preaching to specific problems like, ‘Oh, I know you’ve been struggling for years to get that green card, but just keep having faith and keep praying and you’ll eventually get it,’ ” Chesnut said. “So they’re really attuned to the kinds of problems and afflictions that Mexican and Central American immi-

grants have here.” The Catholic Church is rapidly losing members in Latin American, according to a study released Thursday by the Pew Research Center. Latin America is home to 40 percent of the world’s Catholic population, and during much of the 20th century, 90 percent of the adult population identified as Catholic. That number has dropped to 69 percent, according to the study. Another Pew Research Center study published earlier this year says that while most Latinos in the U.S. are Catholic, many are leaving the religion to join evangelical groups. The report says that in 2010, 67 percent of the estimated 19.6 million Latino adults in the country were Catholic. In the last four years, that number declined to 55 percent. And about 22 percent identify as Protestants. The change in religion among Latinos also could affect the political landscape of the country, according to the report, which surveyed more than 5,000 Hispanics. Latinos who have converted to an evangelical religion, the report says, tend to have conservative points of views on social issues such as abortion and samesex marriage, and they often believe in a more traditional family lifestyle, in which the wife stays at home with the kids while the husband works. For Reyes’ family, being Pentecostal has brought them together. Her husband stopped drinking after “he accepted Jesus in his heart,” Reyes said. Her daughter is happily married with a baby girl, and her son, who is married to the daughter of a Protestant minister, has been sober and has a baby boy. The first four years in the U.S. were a struggle emotionally and spiritually, she said, and she “never imagined her life” would be in such a shambles. “Now, we feel spiritually satisfied,” Reyes said. “And my husband has taken back con-

trol of the family.” Coming to the U.S. was a blessing, she said, because otherwise she would have not have changed religions. When the family moved to Santa Fe eight years ago, they only intended to stay for two years to work and save money so the family could start their own business in Chihuahua, where they also have a home. They decided to stay after a surge of drugrelated violent crime in Chihuahua. “I never thought I would turn Christian [Pentecostal] when I moved here,” Reyes said. Like Reyes, Maria Martinez, 43, grew up attending a Catholic church in Mexico. She and her husband, Ismael Martinez, 52, who have been married for 24 years, moved to Santa Fe 13 years ago. They were among the founding members of Casa de Dios nearly a decade ago. It was Maria Martinez who first started attending the evangelical church, and eventually she convinced her husband to join her. He said that, like many former Catholics who have converted, he had a personal crisis in his life that made him question his spiritual life. He suffered from depression, he said, and used alcohol on weekends with friends to self-medicate. Eventually the depression triggered anxiety, and he experienced a panic attack, which prompted him to finally search for help. He attended a Casa de Dios service, where the congregation prayed for him. He started to cry — a taboo, he said, in the macho culture of his native Mexico. Now, he said, he stays home on the weekends and has learned how to treat his wife with more respect. Interviewed before a recent service, Ismael Martinez said, “I found something here that’s good for the human.” Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062 or ugarcia@sfnewmexican.com.

However, there were no announcements on specific military exercises or new troop deployments within the region.

cal role in the future of this region,” Obama said Saturday in a speech at the University of Queensland. “And the question

is, what kind of role will it play?” An Obama administration official said the three-way meeting had been in the works for a year. Beyond military cooperation, the leaders also discussed the U.S.-led campaign to defeat Islamic State militants in the Middle East, combat the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa and stop Russia’s destabilizing actions in Ukraine. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been of particular concern in Australia, which lost 38 citizens when Moscow-backed rebels downed a commercial airliner earlier this year.

Putin gets a cool reception from G-20 leaders By Emma G. Fitzsimmons The New York Times

As President Vladimir Putin of Russia joined world leaders for the Group of 20 summit meeting in Brisbane, Australia, on Saturday, he faced criticism from President Barack Obama and other leaders over the conflict in Ukraine. When Putin approached Stephen Harper, the prime minister of Canada, to shake his hand, Harper said, “I guess I’ll shake your hand, but I have only one thing to say to you: You need to get out of Ukraine,” a spokesman for Harper told The Associated Press. At a speech at a university in Brisbane, Obama called Russia’s aggression against Ukraine a “threat to the world, as we saw in the appalling shootdown of MH-17, a tragedy that took so many innocent lives, among them your fellow citizens,” a reference to the Australian citizens and residents who were killed when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 went down in eastern Ukraine. “As your ally and friend, America shares the grief of these Australian families, and we share the determination of your nation for justice and accountability,” Obama said. On Saturday, a spokesman for the Kremlin denied reports that Putin was going to leave the meeting earlier than planned because of the criticism. Putin will leave the meeting when “all the work is finished,” the spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov said on Kommersant-FM radio. “Sanctions have been discussed actively and broadly at all bilateral meetings, but nobody is pressing,” Peskov said. On Sunday, leaders from the European Union planned to meet with Obama to discuss Ukraine, among other issues, said Herman Van Rompuy, the president of the European Council. He said the EU was committed to finding a political solution to the crisis. “We will continue to use all the diplomatic tools, including sanctions, at our disposal,” he said. Last month, Prime Minister Tony Abbott of Australia told reporters that he planned to “shirt-front” Putin at the meeting, using a term that in Australian football means charging an opponent to knock him down and in rugby refers to grabbing an opponent’s shirt or collar. “I am going to be saying to Mr. Putin: Australians were murdered,” Abbott said. “They were murdered by Russianbacked rebels using Russiansupplied equipment. We are very unhappy about this.” The two men politely shook hands on stage at the summit meeting Saturday and exchanged words before posing for a photo, but there was no physical confrontation.

You need to get out of Ukraine,”

Stephen Harper, prime minister of Canada, said to Vladimir Putin

Another N.M. dynasty takes hit in 2014 election

Obamacare receives a decided no

A

s I sit with my coffee and newspaper, I have been marveling at the fervor with which liberal Democrats practice Denial. Much to the dismay of fellow Democrats running for office in the fall, President Barack Obama characterized the midterm elections as a referendum on his policies. After the surprisingly decisive win for Republican candidates, he nevertheless chooses to ignore the loud “no confidence” in his administration. At his news conference, the president firmly planted himself on the corner of Virtue and Divine. He spoke of voters’ Dorothy frustration with WashKlopf ington’s gridlock but Commentary did not seem to notice it was the Republicans who were favored and who now enjoy majorities in both the House and the Senate. Bizarrely, the president invoked the will of those who did not vote as his justification for promising to sidestep a recalcitrant Congress. Unilateral executive orders are to be expected because folks want him to get stuff done. What Obama missed is the simpler, more obvious explanation for the striking sweep by the GOP. Voters are not happy with his nanny-state policies, and they do not regard him as a latter-day FDR. Exit polls show Americans have become markedly more pessimistic about the economy, and most doubt their children will enjoy a comparable standard of living. When Americans first voted for change, they did not have in mind a sharp turn for the worse. For example, most Americans agreed that our health care system was extremely costly, inefficient and wasteful. But far from streamlining health care and eliminating unnecessary administrative expenses, Obamacare seems to have proven that Big Government means Big Mismanagement in a Big Way. The first problem with the president’s Affordable Care Act is that no one understands it. At 906 pages, the Affordable Care Act was voted on before Congress had time to read over and analyze its actual provisions. “It’s the right thing to do,” Democrats chanted; and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi promised we could all learn to love the legislation After It Passes. When the Internet rollout was a chaotic disaster, we were told to be patient. The act was for our own good, even if signing up was a challenge. Americans were to put their faith in the whiz kids who understood all the complexities of insurance marketplaces. More and better health care for more people! Keep your insurance plan if you like it! Costs of health care to decline! Dr. Welby and Dr. Kildare on call! (OK, not that last one.) What has been disguised and obscured and falsified all along was how a new entitlement program was to be paid for. First, an employee mandate was supposed to cover costs. But when labor unions and corporate heavy-hitters complained, Obama passed out exemptions and postponed a start date. N.B.: Congress is exempted from the provision that would tax their princely benefits. One unintended consequence of Obamacare seems to be weaker job creation. Small businesses appear to avoid employing more than 50 workers so as to avoid a tangle of regulations and paperwork. Large businesses are reducing the numbers of full-time help. Of all workers categorized as “full-time” by the government, roughly a fifth only reach 35 or more hours of employment per week because they cobble together two or more part-time jobs. Perhaps most problematical, the burden for supporting the whole Rube Goldberg health care system will fall on the shoulders of the newest entrants into the workforce. As a group, young people face a tough, competitive job market, have fewer opportunities for better wages, yet face a lifetime of high taxes to support an aging and sicker population. It has recently come to light that a key architect of Obamacare on several occasions bragged that the lack of transparency during the legislative process was intentional; that Americans are “too stupid” to understand complex legislation; and that a straightforward tax on young voters would never have passed. A president can posture and pose and protest his virtuous conduct and benevolent concern, but the average American knows the truth that all this governmental regulating and administering will increase the cost of health care. Of all the progressive bromides that substitute for thought, the most annoying is the admonition, “It’s the right thing to do.” When you hear this, be warned. The devil always lies in the details. Dorothy Klopf writes her curmudgeonly views from Santa Fe.

PNM plan means cleaner energy

T

he late U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” That is especially relevant in regard to Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales’ suggestion that Santa Fe should consider creating its own electric utility. Some supporters of municipalization selectively cherry-pick and edit the facts to boost their position, while attacking Public Service Company of New Mexico’s proposal to retire two units at the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station and replace the power with electricity from cleaner resources. As a member of the city of Santa Fe’s Climate Change Task Force, I’d like to share the facts, which are clearly supported in public filings with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission. Ironically, these initiatives support the city’s goal of reducing its environmental impact, supporting local business and community organizations, and ensuring a reliable and affordable source of electricity to support the community’s future. The PNM plan will decrease the company’s use of coal by 30 percent, reduce seven different emissions, including greenhouse gases, by about 50 percent, and cut the plant’s water usage in half. Those are significant cuts. Opponents don’t mention that part of PNM’s San Juan plan includes adding more solar generation on top of the significant increase the company is already making, and more natural gas, both of which will create local construction jobs. Or that we will significantly increase the wind energy on our system starting in January, and that early this year we began providing clean energy from the state’s first geothermal generation facility. And by the end of 2015, PNM will have invested about $270 million in solar energy and have enough renewable energy resources to power about 150,000 average homes. We also continually invest in programs to help customers reduce their energy usage — more than $100 million since 2007. Our customers, including the city of Santa Fe, have responded enthusiastically. Since 2007, customers have saved more than 1

billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and received more than $34 million in rebates. It sounds great when some proponents say, “The sun is free. We can have a lot more solar and wind.” They don’t mention what it costs to build and maintain those facilities, or where you get Amy Miller electricity the majority of the time when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow. PNM provides power whenever our customers need it. It’s all about balance. We act responsibly to keep the lights on while minimizing the cost. And our customers clearly tell us that keeping costs down is very important to them. Jobs? PNM employs about 1,500 New Mexicans, many of whom are dedicated to serving Santa Fe customers. We’re not some “far away” corporation. We’re your friends and neighbors. We’re raising our families here, we volunteer in our community, and like you, we want New Mexico to succeed. In 2013, the company paid $5.1 million in taxes in the city of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County, spent approximately $3.4 million in support of local businesses and business organizations, and invested more than $8.2 million in electric infrastructure and reliability projects in the Santa Fe area. Through the PNM Resources Foundation and corporate giving, we contributed more than $200,000 through programs like Reduce Your Use Grants and the 30th anniversary Environmental Grants. And our employees volunteer hundreds of hours of their time to help local organizations. PNM has been serving our customers for nearly 100 years. We have the experience to provide electricity while balancing reliability, affordability and protecting the environment. In any discussion about energy, it’s important to consider the facts and not be misled by myths from anyone pushing a costly and divisive agenda. Amy Miller is director of community, environment and local government at PNM, and is a member of mayor Javier Gonzales’ Climate Change Task Force.

MY VIEW: BETH BELOFF AND JACK MCGOWAN

Municipal utility good for city

S

anta Fe is poised to create a new municipal electric utility. Across the country, states are faced with replacing power from 1950s coal. A majority of states are replacing coal, with its global warming and local health impacts, with renewable energy, storage and efficiency. Colorado, Nevada and Texas are doing it. Yet Public Service Company of New Mexico is planning more asthma-causing coal and expensive nuclear. In a state known to rank second in the United States for solar potential and 11th for wind potential, not only does PNM have only 2 percent solar and 5 percent wind on its system, but its stance on power sources will avoid commitments to these renewable resources for many years to come. This comes at a time when jobs created to build solar on homes and businesses have been one of the few bright spots during the economic downturn. Given PNM’s stance to replace coal with more coal and nuclear from aging facilities, as well as its refusal to deal on community solar and reduced payments for renewable energy credits, the public has been expressing renewed interest in taking over the electricity business from our monopoly utility. New Mexico law grants authority to cities to acquire, operate and maintain an electric utility, including electric generation and distribution. Councilors Chris Rivera and Peter Ives have introduced an ordinance that will establish a Santa Fe public power utility. A local electric utility will provide access to cheaper and more sustainable energy sources, as both solar and wind are now outbidding coal and nuclear, create high-paying jobs and finally give citizens control over their own destiny in fighting climate change. Further, it will be among many climate actions taken by this city and its enlightened mayor that will serve as a model for other cities concerned about both reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change adaptation. There are more than 3,000 municipal utilities in the U.S. and, during the last decade, 19 new public

power utilities were established. In New Mexico, seven local electric utilities have operated successfully for decades. This is a local rights issue. Santa Fe residents are concerned with jobs, pollution, and water quality and quantity. Santa Fe Public Power will be: Beth Beloff u Accountable to the consumer-owners it serves. u A not-for-profit entity that does not pay dividends to distant stockholders. u Setting rates locally by citizen-controlled boards operating in the sunshine. u Eligible to issue tax-exempt utility bonds. Jack u Able to deploy lower cost McGowan solar and wind. u Sharing community values, hiring local at fair wages and reinvesting in community projects. The council will vote to create the public power electric utility and consider new development opportunities as they arise. The city can build its capacity and track record of distributed clean power service incrementally, effectively building “islands of competence” that showcase energy efficiency and reliable, clean, affordable energy, or it can take a more aggressive approach. Within that spectrum, we have nothing to lose while we gain authority and agency to explore our next steps and create energy choice. Further, we will stimulate our local economy in doing so. Beth Beloff and Jack McGowan are members of the mayor’s Santa Fe Climate Action Task Force. Beloff is a local sustainability consultant and has been a leader in the field for 25 years. McGowan is a local consultant and has been a leader in efficiency and in promoting an intelligent electricity system.

he 2014 general election earlier this month might have marked the end of the line for the King dynasty in New Mexico. (You can’t say for sure right now because there are several nieces and nephews and perhaps a few young cousins of defeated gubernatorial candidate Gary King who might get the politics bug.) But there was a potential political dynasty in this enchanted land that suffered a setback in this election: The Sanchez dynasty. Down in Judicial District 13, which includes Valencia, Steve Terrell Cibola and Sandoval Roundhouse counties, a young Roundup lawyer named Joshua J. Sanchez ran as a Democrat for a district judge position. Sanchez lost a close race to incumbent Allen R. Smith in the three-county race. Smith is a Republican who was appointed to the seat earlier this year by Gov. Susana Martinez. Because of New Mexico’s laws for electing judges, Smith won’t have to run in another partisan election for that judgeship. He’ll only have to face retention elections in the future (unless he decides to try for a seat in a higher court). What caught my eye about this race was the fact that Sanchez is the son (and law partner) of state Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez of Belen. And that makes him the nephew of former Speaker of the House Raymond Sanchez And Michael and Raymond weren’t the first of their family to be deeply involved in politics. Their late father — and Joshua Sanchez’s grandfather — Gillie Sanchez, who died in 1999, had an impressive political résumé. He served as a magistrate judge in Valencia County for 28 years and was a member of the Belen School Board for 31 years. (Gil Sanchez Elementary School in Jarales, south of Belen, was named in his honor.) Gillie Sanchez was on the Belen City Council for many years. And he was president of the Belen Chamber of Commerce. Gillie Sanchez was a businessman as well as a politician. He owned Gil’s Bakery and Restaurant in Belen for 40 years. “Eventually, everyone ended up at Gil’s Bakery. It became a political melting pot,” Raymond Sanchez told Julia M. Dendinger of the Valencia County News Bulletin in 2013. And the Sanchez family’s political involvement goes back even deeper. According to that same article in the News Bulletin, on Raymond and Michael’s mother’s side, their grandfather Abelicio Blas Sanchez served as a state representative in the 1920s and was a Belen city marshal and, in 1933, the sheriff of Valencia County. Asked Friday whether he might seek office again someday, Joshua Sanchez laughed and said, “Never say never.” After all, this loss in the judge’s race doesn’t necessarily amount to the end of his political career. Joshua is still young, and lots of politicians lose their first race. U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, for example, lost two congressional contests early in his career. (And here’s a strange little aside. Sen. Sanchez’s son was not the only Joshua Sanchez running for judge in Valencia County this year. Back in the primary in June, there was a Republican named Joshua A. Sanchez who ran unsuccessfully for a magistrate judge position. Who knows what effect, if any, this had on Joshua J. Sanchez’s race.) The real question is whether the Republican performance in Valencia County this year could be a threat to Michael Sanchez in 2016. The elder Sanchez surely has noted the numbers in his son’s race. He lost Valencia County by about 900 votes. In other Valencia County races this year, GOP Reps. Alonzo Baldonado and Kelly Fajardo hung on to their seats. Now Baldonado is Republican whip and Fajardo is majority caucus leader. Gov. Susana Martinez’s political team sweat blood — and came up short — trying to defeat Sen. Sanchez in 2012. It’s a fact that in his Senate leadership position, he’s been the biggest legislative thorn in her side since the outset of her administration. And in next year’s session, Sanchez again is in position to thwart much of Martinez’s agenda. He’ll be more in the spotlight next year because the new Republican House will be inclined to pass most of the governor’s proposals. If Michael Sanchez runs again in 2016, Team Susana will do their best to strike a harder blow against the Sanchez Dynasty. Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@sfnew mexican.com.

Burden of debt bad for country

T

he high rate of student loan default in New Mexico — first in the nation — is both troubling and puzzling. Troubling, of course, because if young adults can’t pay student loans, they likely aren’t working at decent jobs and can’t buy homes or automobiles, either. Their education is not a path to success, but rather to a lifelong burden. Puzzling, because with New Mexico’s lottery scholarship program, students should at least be getting a break on tuition, which the lottery pays. However, with costs for books, fees and living expenses rising, students who don’t live in the same town as a university still end up having to shell out a lot of money for college. Total costs are driving the need for loans, and before New Mexico and the rest of the country can get a handle on debt, colleges are going to have to curtail the cost of a higher education. The College Board (the company that puts together the SAT) said last week that college costs went up again, and that students today are paying more than triple what they paid 30 years ago to attend a public, four-year institution. For a private college, costs are about 2½ times more than three decades ago. No wonder families can’t keep up. In the meantime, graduates and dropouts alike still have to repay their student loans. Perhaps the best way to ensure payment is to educate more about the risks of debt on the front end so that students take out fewer loans. Put in real terms what $300 a month out of a paycheck feels like and demonstrate how long that payment will last. Encourage more students to attend schools close to home, such as community colleges, so they can get the basics at a reasonable cost. If necessary, raise admission standards at fouryear, public universities so that the students who do get in have a better chance of graduating. Counsel students on what to take so they don’t mistakenly take calculus their first year in school when general math would work. One institution — which statistically leads the way on defaults in New Mexico — is taking a unique approach that could work in other schools to lower debt. The Institute of American Indians Arts stopped providing federal student loans in 2010. Instead, students are assisted with covering tuition through scholarships and other means. Pay as you go, rather than borrow now, pay later, has great promise in helping young people receive the education they need now. Colleges are trying various approaches to help students, but they need to double down and do more. The federal government, whether through some sort of restructuring of student debt or more penalties for schools whose students default, also must act. States have an obligation, too, and Sen. Jacob Candelaria already has announced legislation that would give state tax credits for loan repayments. Individuals must be wiser about what they can afford. Otherwise, young people will continue to have the worst of all worlds — debt and no degree.

The passing of giants

W

hen the Congreso de las Acequias gathered for its 15th annual meeting in Taos on Saturday, members were busy celebrating New Mexico’s traditional waterways. While the congreso is 15 years old, the New Mexico Acequia Association has been advocating for the rights of ditch operators all over the state for 25 years, reminding everyone that la agua es la vida, a living heritage for New Mexico. This year, attendees at the congreso also remembered the passing of their elders even as they worked to pass their traditions on to young people, a focus of this year’s meeting. In 2014, New Mexico lost giants. Embudo’s Juan Estevan Arellano, historian, scholar, poet and farmer, died last month. Mora County native Facundo Valdez, a New Mexico Highlands University professor and acequia advocate, died in August. In July, Chicano cultural philosopher and sociologist Tomás Atencio, a native of Dixon, also left this world. All three men were rooted in the north but also succeeded as scholars and writers. Their legacy shows today’s Hispano young men and women that it is possible to be highly educated and still cherish the stories, legends and doings of Northern New Mexico. Success in the modern world does not have to mean forgetting traditions or culture. These were men who could do it all, including cleaning a ditch. The loss of these three men, all in the same year, leaves Northern New Mexico sadder, but wiser for having known them.

n the early 3rd century B.C., after King Pyrrhus of Epirus again took brutal casualties in defeating the Romans, he told one person who offered congratulations, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” In his more sober moments, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., about to achieve his lifelong ambition of becoming Senate majority leader, may wonder whether he, too, has achieved a pyrrhic victory. Republicans are still crowing about the sweeping victories in 2014 that give them control of both houses of Congress. They will set the agenda, deciding what gets considered, investigated and voted on. Their ideas will drive the debate. But Republicans have no mandate because they offered no agenda. Republicans reaped the rewards of McConnell’s scorched-earth strategy, obstructing President Barack Obama relentlessly, helping to create the failure that voters would pin on the party in power. But the collateral damage is that the “party of ‘no’ ” has no agreement on what is yes. Instead of using the years in the wilderness to develop new ideas and a clear vision, Republicans have used them only to sharpen their tongues, grow their claws and practice their backhands. Republicans paid no penalty for obstructing every measure that might have given the recovery more juice, blocking even the infrastructure spending that has been a bipartisan response in every downturn. They paid no penalty for shutting down the government and forcing mindless austerity that cost jobs. They paid no penalty for their perfervid hysteria on foreign policy issues — screeching

about phantom terrors of pregnant immigrants helping Islamic State terrorists and Ebola victims slip in the country to kill us here at home. They never needed to fill in the magic asterisks in Rep. Paul Ryan’s risible budgets, enabling him to deny the damage to Medicare, education, food stamps and the most vulnerable that his plans would require. The result is that McConnell leads into a power a party truly unfit and unready to govern. Indeed, the wingnuts at its base want it only to dismantle, not to govern. As Terrance Heath reported, the ever-apoplectic Rush Limbaugh announced that Republicans have a mandate to “stop Barack Obama” and “were not elected to govern.” Fox News host Megyn Kelly fantasized that Obama would “offend” Republicans into impeaching him; Phyllis Schlafly argued the first priority should be blocking all Obama’s judicial nominees. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pledged once more to repeal Obamacare. The dyspeptic Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, will use his chairmanship of the Armed Services Committee to demand more “boots on the ground” in Iraq and Syria, harsher sanctions to undermine negotiations with Iran and more macho posturing over Ukraine. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, will use his likely chairmanship of the Environment and Public Works Committee to deny the existence of catastrophic climate change even while allocating billions for cleanup in the wake of floods, droughts and storms to come. McConnell portrays Republicans as ready to embrace a conservative Chamber of Commerce agenda, repaying the

big money that helped bring them victory. This would include giving multinationals a massive tax break on money that they stashed abroad to avoid taxes, passing fast-track trade authority, pushing ahead the Keystone XL pipeline, weakening the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and repealing the tax on medical devices, first of the salami-style effort to slice up Obamacare. But the zealots in the House and Senate expect more fire and less compromise. They want Obamacare repealed. They want the scorched-earth obstruction to continue: Obama’s nominations blocked, scandals real and delusional investigated, Dodd-Frank financial regulation reversed, and taxes and domestic spending slashed. It isn’t at all apparent that McConnell and Boehner can corral Republican majorities for any measures that Obama might accept. But even if McConnell could put the Chamber of Commerce’s bills on the president’s desk, one thing is apparent: None of these will do anything to address the profound crises the country faces. There is no relief for the sinking middle class and impoverished low-wage workers, no strategy for addressing climate change, no response to the destructive excesses of banks too big to fail. McConnell won his majority by brilliantly waging a partisan, dishonest, unrelenting policy of obstruction. But now, the absence of any ideas or of any clue will be exposed. And next time, when voters sensibly want to throw the bums out, they may have a far clearer view of just who the bums are. Katrina vanden Heuvel wrote this for The Washington Post.

COMMENTARY: PIERS J. SELLERS

There’s no wobbling on climate change GREENBELT, Md. ’m a climate scientist and a former astronaut. Not surprisingly, I have a deep respect for well-tested theories and facts. In the climate debate, these things have a way of getting blurred in political discussions. In September, John P. Holdren, the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, was testifying to a congressional committee about climate change. Rep. Steve Stockman, a Republican from Texas, recounted a visit he had made to NASA, where he asked what had ended the ice age: “And the lead scientist at NASA said this — he said that what ended the ice age was global wobbling. That’s what I was told. This is a lead scientist down in Maryland; you’re welcome to go down there and ask him the same thing. “So, and my second question, which I thought it was an intuitive question that should be followed up — is the wobbling of the Earth included in any of your modelings? And the answer was no … “How can you take an element which you give the credit for the collapse of global freezing and into global warming but leave it out of your models?” That “lead scientist at NASA” was me. In July, Stockman spent a couple of hours at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center listening to presentations about earth science and climate change. The subject of ice ages came up. Stockman asked, “How can your models predict the climate when no one can tell me what causes the ice ages?” I responded that, actually, the science community understood very well what takes the Earth into and out of ice ages. A Serbian mathematician, Milutin Milankovitch, worked out the theory during the early years of the 20th century. He calcu-

lated by hand that variations in the Earth’s tilt and the shape of its orbit around the sun start and end ice ages. I said that you could think of ice ages as resulting from wobbles in the Earth’s tilt and orbit. The time scales involved are on the order of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. I explained that this science has been well tested against the fossil record and is broadly accepted. I added that we don’t normally include these factors in 100-year climate projections because the effects are too tiny to be important on such a short time-scale. And that, I thought, was that. So I was bit surprised to read the exchange between Holdren and Stockman, which suggested that at best we couldn’t explain the science and at worst we scientists are clueless about ice ages. We aren’t. Nor are we clueless about what is happening to the climate, thanks in part to a small fleet of satellites that fly above our heads, measuring the pulse of the Earth. Without them we would have no useful weather forecasts beyond a couple of days. These satellite data are fed into computer models that use the laws of motion — Sir Isaac Newton’s theories — to figure out where the world’s air currents will flow, where clouds will form and rain will fall. And — voilà — you can plan your weekend, an airline can plan a flight and a city can prepare for a hurricane. Satellites also keep track of other important variables: polar ice, sea level rise, changes in vegetation, ocean currents, sea surface temperature and ocean salinity (that’s right — you can accurately measure salinity from space), cloudiness and so on. These data are crucial for assessing and understanding changes in the Earth system and determining whether they

are natural or connected to human activities. They are also used to challenge and correct climate models, which are mostly based on the same theories used in weather forecast models. This whole system of observation, theory and prediction is tested daily in forecast models and almost continuously in climate models. So, if you have no faith in the predictive capability of climate models, you should also discard your faith in weather forecasts and any other predictions based on Newtonian mechanics. The Earth has warmed nearly 0.8 degrees Celsius over the last century, and we are confident that the biggest factor in this increase is the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning. It is almost certain that we will see a rise of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees) before 2100, and a three-degree rise (5.4 degrees) or higher is a possibility. The impacts over such a short period would be huge. The longer we put off corrective action, the more disruptive the outcome is likely to be. It is my pleasure and duty as a scientist and civil servant to discuss the challenge of climate change with elected officials. My colleagues and I do our best to transmit what we know and what we think is likely to happen. The facts and accepted theories are fundamental to understanding climate change, and they are too important to get wrong or trivialize. Some difficult decisions lie ahead for us humans. We should debate our options armed with the best information and ideas that science can provide. Piers J. Sellers is the acting director of earth science at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

DWI ad section wasn’t complete

I

am writing today to express my concern and displeasure regarding an insert to The New Mexican on Friday (Nov. 7) purportedly authored by the Santa Fe County DWI Program. (The advertising section was produced by Santa Fe County.) Particularly troubling is it appears under a guise of a “know your rights” document purporting to provide legal advice to persons stopped by police. It claims that a person Joseph P. Walsh stopped by law enforcement should “[f]ollow these six steps to help things go smoothly.” This document does not appear to be authored by a licensed New Mexico attorney, but even if it were, the legal advice contained in the document is incorrect and incomplete. A cursory review of this document clearly demonstrates that the information contained under Nos. 5 and 6 is erroneous and constitutionally deficient. The document advises to “[a]nswer the questions the officer asks” and to “[f]ollow the officer’s instructions.” Under No. 6, the information appears calculated to make a person stopped believe her or she has no choice but to submit to field sobriety tests, (inadmissible) preliminary breath tests and Breathalyzer tests. While the fact remains that a person charged with aggravated DWI for refusing to submit to a breath test could be subjected to additional penalties if convicted, every person has the right to refuse to submit. Every citizen in New Mexico has the right to refuse to answer questions posed by police officers, as well as a right to refuse to perform field-sobriety tests and submit to preliminary breath tests. While a driver is required to present his/her license to a police offer when stopped, that driver is not required to make self-incriminating statements. In fact, no people in this great nation are required to make incriminating statements against themselves. Any assertion to the contrary is a patent falsehood. Please do your part to educate the citizens and residents of New Mexico with correct information regarding their legal and constitutional rights. Such inserts create misinformation and breed ignorance of the laws and constitutions of our great state and our great nation.

Greer Garson theater legacy isn’t changing

I

n response to a recent letter (Save theater,” Letters to the editor, Nov. 4) I wanted to provide points of clarification about the Greer Garson Theatre at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Contrary to what was stated in that letter, there are no current plans to change the architecture of the Greer Garson Theatre. Its proscenium theater and its historic and beloved red-velour seating configuration will stay intact. The theater-in-the-round seating configuration on the stage itself, which was mentioned in an article by Robert Nott (“Where the Jobs Are,” Pasatiempo, Oct. 17) is in place for this fall 2014 season only. It is entirely temporary. The temporary seating configuration was put in place to help us make enhancements to the technical opera-

tions of the theater. With this temporary seating arrangement, our technicians, engineers and other outside contractors can access the rigging and electrical components both overhead and Laura Fine around the stage itself Hawkes during this fall and winter, while enabling us to continue to run a full fall season for our patrons and our students. This temporary seating will also provide both performance students and design/technical students an opportunity to work with more modern technologies within the existing historic construct of the proscenium house. Our faculty and university leadership deeply appreciate the community

interest in the building itself and its future as a vibrant performing arts center. I am an alumna of the school and close colleague of former chairman John C. Weckesser. I take Greer Garson’s legacy here very seriously. We are actively seeking ways in which we can help highlight her incredible lifelong accomplishments, her generous gifts to the school and her sterling name. That is why this past September we hosted a Greer Garson 110th Birthday Tribute community event in conjunction with Pecos National Historical Park, paying homage to Garson’s legacy not only on our campus but also in our community. This spring, the Performing Arts Department will be performing at various locations on our campus and in the greater Santa Fe community as the

technical enhancements to the Greer Garson Theatre will be in full swing. By fall 2015, we will reinhabit the full Greer Garson Theatre stage. We invite the public to discover (or rediscover) why Backstage Magazine has ranked Santa Fe University of Art and Design as one of the top five theater programs outside of Los Angeles. The current students are very invested in being a part of a training center that Greer Garson spent so much of her time and energy to foster. They seek any opportunity to understand more about who she was, what she stood for and what she meant to the campus, to Santa Fe and to New Mexico.

MY VIEW: SHARON NIEDERMAN

Iceland: A model for New Mexico? O n a recent visit to Iceland, I had the opportunity to compare that country with New Mexico, two places that at first glance couldn’t be more different. I contemplated some surprising synchronicities while hiking the fissure between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. And I wondered if perhaps attitude, even more than history and geography, is destiny. Iceland is a remote island in the North Atlantic with a history of colonization, only gaining independence from Danish rule in 1944. Iceland’s interior is uninhabitable due to permafrost; only 320,000 people live there, clustered along its seacoasts. Its glaciers, waterfalls and tectonic plate fissures, its volcanos, smoking hot pots, open vistas and mysterious skies all suggest parallels to our own remote location, history, sparse population and our destiny dominated by our geography of deserts — largely uninhabitable — and mountains. Iceland honors its Viking history, as we celebrate our Spanish and indigenous roots; the sense of place and unique culture there fosters a folk spirituality akin to our own living spiritual sensibility. And both Iceland and New Mexico rely on tourism to fuel their economies. Yet, despite its small population, less than a quarter of New Mexico’s, Iceland has attained what in New Mexico are goals that public policy has actually diminished in recent times: high-quality food for all and energy sustainability. I visited a 7-acre geothermally powered greenhouse that produces fresh greens year-round. The popular swimming pools and 80 percent of the homes in Reykjavik, down to the lovely heated toilet seats, are warmed with geothermal power. Organic lamb, dairy and fresh, wild-caught fish provide much of the diet. Familyrun dairy farms and sheep ranches throughout the country pool their resources for processing at a single milk and cheese plant; the famous Icelandic wool is processed in a single mill. Food shops do not have “organic” sections, for, as our tour guide explained, “It’s all organic.” GMOs are unheard of there.

Joseph P. Walsh is an attorney with a Santa Fe law firm practicing in the areas of civil litigation and criminal defense. He has previously worked as a public defender in Santa Fe.

Although Icelanders receive health care, education, senior care and other benefits we are told would be ruinous to our independent Sharon spirit if they were Niederman provided, many work several jobs and are quite entrepreneurial. For example, our van driver, Gunter, tours on the weekend and runs his own international business, mainly in China. Our tour guide, Helga, also operates her own whalewatching company. It would be interesting to crunch the numbers to compare the amount we pay in taxes, our actual incomes and the comparative costs for services between here and in Iceland, admittedly a very expensive country. But Iceland has found a way to harness its natural resources, mainly, its naturally heated water, which comes out of the ground at 500 degrees, to produce clean energy. Meanwhile, New Mexico, rich in wind and solar energy, scarcely provides a fraction of the state’s energy from these clean resources. Perhaps the difference may be summed up by the philosophy I encountered on a tour of a stateof-the-art geothermal plant that also offered a beautiful display titled “Energy is Life” — Iceland is aiming toward becoming a society without waste. No pollution streams, only resource streams. For example, the spill water from this plant is used to farm fish, Senegal sole, for export. When another large geothermal plant went online, it was eventually discovered that the “waste water” had curative powers. So was born the Blue Lagoon, now a world bucket-list destination. Perhaps some will say I went to Iceland and “drank the Kool-Aid.” If so, it was GMO-free, organic and contained neither artificial flavors nor color.

MY VIEW: JOHN MCPHEE

Cell towers and antennas — a modern Trojan horse A

fter the public hearing about the proposed amendments to the city telecommunications ordinance earlier this year, Mayor Javier Gonzales correctly excused himself from the vote because of his family’s business investment in cell towers. However, all efforts by concerned citizens to postpone any consideration of the proposed amendments pending far more public/private discussion and evaluation failed regardless; the City Council voted unanimously to endorse this expansion of deregulation. These amendments now allow for approval of many more cell towers and antennas, and in highly visible locations, despite the presence of some 35 towers and 250 antennas in the metropolitan areas already. The question must then comes to mind as to just how much more “service” do we really need, and just how much do we intend to further compromise the magnificent historical beauty of our City Different and the

surrounding panoramas? This vote also marked one more very sad confirmation of the everdiminishing authority and leadership of local governments and the democratic process. Once again, the personal and constitutional rights of the citizens of Santa Fe have been preempted by corporate influence, with section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act given respect and deference only because of the ever-present threat of litigation by telecommunications companies with those local governments that do not adhere to these “anti-regulations” that completely ignore local land-use and zoning laws. Despite the outcome of the vote, the comments of the opponents to the telecommunications ordinance amendments are now an important public record in anticipation of the flood of lawsuits forthcoming against the telecommunications industry and any public or private partners deriv-

ing economic benefit from wireless infrastructure and services. There are now an estimated 6,000 studies demonstrating negative health effects from cell towers, antennas and Wi-Fi technology. The World Health Organization has reclassified electromagnetic radiation as a “Class B carcinogen,” the American Academy of Pediatrics has publicly stated that the “current FCC regulations are not adequate … for pregnant women and children” and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine recognizes a wide range of health symptoms and medical conditions as effects from overexposure to wireless technology. Given this overwhelming evidence of harm, the insurance industry worldwide quietly started excluding electromagnetic radiation from their policies in 2009. The annual Swiss Re SONAR report published in 2012, which is the principal risk advisory to the insurance industry, already rated electro-

magnetic radiation as “high risk” for the next decade. So without liability insurance for these types of claims, in addition to our own personal struggles with health issues from overexposure to wireless technology, we taxpayers will be paying for the health damages sought from state and local governments, as well as school districts, both employing and deriving income from, wireless technology. Business owners who employ the use of wireless technology also will be paying again for the health damages sought by employees, in addition to their medical leave/costs for overexposure. Then, finally, for those who wish to sign a lucrative lease, or already have done so, with a telecommunications company to have a cell tower or antenna located on their own property, the “fine print” clearly states that with the rental payments comes the complete transfer of liability to the property owner. Indeed, our Trojan

horse has arrived, and now the true impact of this “gift” is growing exponentially every day. Ultimately, wireless technology is simply a violation of electrical code, exposing all of us to “non-naturally occurring” frequencies and magnetic fields. So all we need to do to protect ourselves, as well as to have the faster Internet services increasingly available in Asia and Europe that would make us more productive and employable, as well as safer, is to invest in wired services instead, which is the technology of the future, not the past. The scientific truth is really that self-evident, and so well-documented, even by American scientists since 1962.

Home visits have value for children and families D

r. Bruce Perry, national early childhood trauma expert and keynote speaker at the recent First Born conference, emphasized the power of early childhood and importance of home-visiting programs. “We are the first generation to have the science to truly understand how children’s health and brain development go together and the mechanisms by which we learn,” he said. “This gives us the opportunity to affect policy and change in society.” “Home visiting” is a program strategy designed to promote child well-being through the delivery of a variety of informational, educational, developmental and support services to families. It would be a shame for good practice to become jeopardized by misinformation, and it seems that some clarification is needed. New Mexico has several models of home-visiting programs serving communities

throughout the state. The LANL Foundation chose to develop the First Born program as a promising practice for Susan the last seven Herrera years to see if we could bring about significant change for our children ages prenatal to 3. Home visiting in New Mexico is funded by several sources including private philanthropy as well as government through the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department. Programs are run by teams of trained health care workers and parent educators who are caring, culturally sensitive and supportive of children and families’ individual needs. Only in cases of documented abuse or judicial proceedings would children need possible outside advocacy and protection involving home

visitors from CYFD or another governmental agency. The First Born home-visiting program is free, voluntary, curriculum-based and relationshipcentered beginning prenatally for women pregnant for the first time and first-time families and their newborns, including adopted babies, until the child is 3 years old. The program is based on research showing that children’s success in school and life is built on the foundation of nurturing relationships, positive experiences and skills children develop in the critical first three years. Home-visiting services are “universal,” meaning available to parents regardless of economic status, education level or life circumstances, not just to those considered “at risk.” Services are never mandatory. Parents voluntarily choose to participate, and they determine individual learning priorities and goals. First Born builds a trusting relationship between parents

Nov. 16, 1964: Cimarron — The Northeastern Regional Library at Cimarron has announced scheduled stops of its Bookmobile for Nov. 17 and 18. Beginning Nov. 17, the bookmobile will stop at the Montezuma Community Center in Iron Springs.

Nov. 16, 1989: Arts and crafts vendors would have to use their spaces on the Plaza at least 15 out of every 30 days or risk losing their permits if a proposed ordinance is approved by the City Council. Portrait artists and flower sellers would not have to use their permits as often. A preference for county residents in the selection process for permits also is being considered.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican Nov. 16, 1914: San Bernardino, Calif. — Ninety-three tramps, on their annual winter tour westward, are in jail here today, charged with having stolen and operated for their own benefit, a San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake freight train on the Mojave desert. The tramps, 103 in number, were hiking across the desert, bound for Los Angeles, when the freight train entered Otis, a station east of here. They overpowered the train crew, broke seal off of freight cars and after making themselves comfortable, ordered the engineer to pull out for Los Angeles. When the train

and home visitors. What parent wouldn’t benefit from a knowledgeable, unbiased, caring resource to answer questions and guide them through their child’s health and development, postpartum depression, breastfeeding, nutrition, discipline, the “terrible twos”? Positive experiences with a primary caregiver early in life — including touch, proximity, responsiveness, sensory simplicity and relational continuity — create sensations of pleasure and safety, decrease physiological distress and allow for patterns of self-regulating to develop. Home-visiting programs promote healthy, nurturing, stimulating environments that build resilient children who are better learners and develop positive relationships throughout their lives. Based on brain development and economic research, birthto-3 programs more than pay for themselves through high returns on investment, both

public and private, as seen in short- and long-term results. First Born has shown several measured positive outcomes that building a healthy foundation for the entire life of a child including: consistent prenatal care, fewer emergency room visits in the first year, increased breast-feeding, regular preventive health care, higher child immunization rates, more reading, less screen time, engaged fathers, overall confident parenting and a connection to other community resources that

support children and parents. The LANL Foundation believes that early childhood education is the best long-term investment we can make in the future of New Mexico to move away from being 50th in the nation in child welfare and education.

My Views

So I reached back, as I have done before to my roots, to find something that could describe in a simple term a picture of this man who touched so many lives. A word created by a people who have been defamed and persecuted, but held onto their humanity by seeing the nobilAl Schwartz ity of man. This simple word, spoken with the greatest humility of another human being is mensch, meaning “a person of integrity.” A mensch is someone who is responsible, has a sense of right and wrong, and is the sort of person other people look up to.

F

or some decades, the Western media, especially the American media, have seemingly conducted a campaign against intelligence. It’s not just the scandalous dumbing down of the entertainment content that is blasted at us nonstop — just think “reality TV” — but it’s also the unrelenting insistence that anyone who seems to prefer intelligent discourse is somehow being “elitist” or “not of the people.” Many media stars, politicians, diplomats, even captains of David King industry, seem to believe that the lame excuse of “no one told me there would be any math/ physics/science/etc.” is acceptable enough to not even try to understand an argument. And it’s not just the media. In business, there appears to be a belief that understanding a process is not necessary in order to manage that process. The executive who has an MBA and a record, or even just a professed objective of squeezing more short-term profits out of an operation, is assumed to be able to manage any business operation. The seasoned experts are regarded as the “techies” and as somewhat “nerdy” individuals and not really contributors to the “bottom line.” This disturbing trend is showing up in our so-called education process also, driven by that special set of undereducated blow-hards called politicians. The Texas Legislature has even gone so far as to ban critical thinking from education in that state. This rise of the undereducated, the marginalization of technical experts and the dumbing down of our education system in all walks of life here in the U.S. is having a serious and deleterious effect on everything. To take an example from science and engineering: Until quite recently, the United States led the world in primary research by a large margin in just about every scientific and engineering field. That lead has shrunk dramatically and may be about to disappear. We still spend more in actual dollars than anybody else, of course, at just over $400 billion annually. But China is catching up rapidly, spending nearly $300 billion in 2010. The amount spent as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), tells a scarier story. Japan, South Korea, Israel, Sweden and Finland beat us on that score. Additionally, those same countries are neck and neck with us when we consider research spending per capita. Disturbingly, our research spending is decreasing year by year and even those amounts are reportedly being spent very ineffectively. One recent direct result is the loss of the facility to do basic atomic research now being done at CERN in Switzerland. There are many other examples where we are losing or have lost our lead, including, interestingly enough, in military hardware and software. Israel, for example, now leads the world in the development of unmanned aircraft. China and Germany are years ahead of us in research and development of alternative energy sources. In order to retain and maintain our lead in science, medicine, engineering, education and all knowledge areas, we need to recognize, as a nation, the importance of those fields and the importance of training, keeping and nurturing the very best practitioners. Marginalizing the “experts” and relying on the opinions of those who ignore science and learning will put us on the same disastrous path as the vast Ottoman Empire, which for a few centuries, led the world in scientific discovery until it started to shun the “experts” and listen only to the scientifically uneducated. As a final thought, how comfortable are you knowing the U.S. that is experiencing and handling the first manifestation of the Ebola virus in the U.S., is the same state that bans critical thinking in its schools?

ecently, I went to a memorial service for a friend, John Baumgartel (Howard John Baumgartel III, obituaries, Oct. 5, C-2). I have only known John a short time compared to those who go back 40 years. I got to know John more intimately this past year as he went through his most difficult time, fighting for his life. I would visit with John at his home, take him to the hospital in Albuquerque, and we would spend time socializing with him and his wife, Carol, at our home. So as I sat and listened to the many family members and friends speak of this man with heart-felt loving memories, I was able to see beyond the last days of John’s life to the full picture of the man. What could I say if called upon to speak of this man, the strength of his character, the kindness in his smile, the sense of humor even in the face of this daunting illness? All this had been said eloquently by others, much closer and more intimate to John.

MY VIEW: HANK BAHNSEN

It’s time to revisit the Second Amendment T

he National Rifle Association and its fellow gun enthusiasts continue to misconstrue the founders’ original intent in creating the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. A recently published NRA comment stated that, “Guns save lives, stop crime and protect you. This is why we arm police, why people arm themselves and why the founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution.� The Second Amendment reads as follows: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.� A total of 27 words.

The NRA’s comment in the first paragraph would be accurate if these first 13 words of the Second Amendment concerning the role of a militia had not been included in this simple statement. The first 13 words have meaning. The founders were much concerned about the power of a standing army and the possibility of overt military control of the fledgling country. In 1791, the members of the Virginia Legislature elaborated on the importance of a militia in a letter accompanying their ratification of the first 10 amendments (1791). They stated that “a well regulated Militia composed of

the body of the people trained to arms is the proper, natural and safe defence of a free State. That armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty ‌ and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to and governed by the Civil power.� In 1791, fewer than 15 percent of the white male population, mostly untrained in the military use of weapons, possessed guns. The requirement for a well-trained militia rather than a standing army was further emphasized in several issues of the Federalist Papers, authored by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. In fact, Federalist No. 29

MY VIEW: JIM WALTERS

The National Park Service and wilderness: 50 years of neglect

A

fter 50 years, you would expect that the National Park Service would have the best wilderness program in the world. You would be wrong. The National Park Service never wanted to be part of the Wilderness Act and testified a number times before congressional committees that it did not need to be included because park lands were “already protected as wilderness.� But the environmental community and members of the Congress knew this wasn’t true. People like David Brower of the Sierra Club had observed for years that parks were always subject to developments like the one proposing to put a dam in Dinosaur National Monument and others from the Park Service itself. Because of the constant pressures for development, Congress specifically identified the Park Service as one of the agencies responsible for implementing the Wilderness Act. The language of the act is clear in telling the Park Service that in spite of how well it thought it might be protecting its lands, it was ordered to meet even higher standards of preservation. Wilderness comprises almost 85 percent of the total land administered by the Park Service. In spite of these instructions, the eloquence for wilderness by Emerson and Thoreau, the wisdom of Aldo Leopold and Bob Marshall, and the efforts of people like Howard Zahniser and Brower, who worked for decades to get the Wilderness Act passed, the Park Service decided to basically ignore this

historic legislation. Today, the Park Service wilderness program lacks the accountability, consistency and continuity needed Jim to actually Walters preserve wilderness. It is basically a façade of lip service, unenforced directives and media products. The Park Service also likes to attend events like the 50th anniversary celebration to demonstrate how well it regards wilderness. We’ve heard all this before. Some of you might remember the 1994 event in Santa Fe marking the 30th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. Everyone was there, including the secretaries of interior and agriculture, the agency directors, environmental groups, poets, entertainers and VIPs such as former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall and his son, then-Congressman Tom Udall. Everyone spoke glowingly about wilderness. And afterward, nothing! The public is doing itself a great disservice by not demanding from the Park Service the answer to a basic question: What evidence can the Park Service provide to show that park wilderness has been protected in keeping with the Wilderness Act? You will find there is very little evidence. Sadly, evidence of the failings of the Park Service in preserving wilderness is plentiful. Since the Wilderness Act was passed, the Park

Service has failed to complete the inventories of lands suitable for wilderness, failed to have wilderness management plans in place, failed to submit the legal descriptions of its wilderness resources to the Congress, failed to monitor if wilderness is being preserved, failed to apply minimum requirement assessments for management activities conducted in wilderness and failed to implement an effective management organization responsible for wilderness. The result is that the public has been cheated out of having a world-class program that should have established Park Service wilderness as being the very best of the very best of America’s public lands. As we lament the fact that over the past 40 years, 50 percent of the Earth’s wildlife has disappeared, the Wilderness Act stands as one of our last and best hopes for protecting our remaining ecosystems. The Wilderness Act exists as one of the world’s great pieces of environmental legislation and deserves to be celebrated. It also deserves much better than the institutional neglect it has been afforded by the National Park Service.

Retired Justice John Paul Stevens, in his recent book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, proposes the addition of five words to the Second Amendment. As so amended, it would read: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed.� There is no Second Amendment right to own guns. So intended the founders!

was exclusively dedicated to the need for a militia. Of course, the issue of no standing army was short-lived. The War of 1812 proved that a standing army and navy were essential to our survival as an independent nation. The concern, however, about undue influence of the military remains today. Over the years, Supreme Court rulings have essentially ignored the first half of the Second Amendment, opting instead for easy access to weapons. A major question: How did the founders’ intent to provide for a militia evolve into a nation with more than 300 million guns in circulation?

Police arrest suspect in double homicide Officers, acting on a tip, take 20-year-old into custody without incident in Colorado Springs, Colo. By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Early Saturday morning, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service assisted local police in Colorado Springs, Colo., in arresting fugitive suspect Ricardo “Ricky” Martinez, who was sought in the October slayings of two Santa Fe teens. According to Maj. Ken Johnson of the

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, Martinez remains the main suspect on two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Venancio Cisneros, 18, and Anamarie Ojeda, 13, whose bodies were found in a vehicle Oct. 25 south of Santa Fe. The suspect had been listed by the U.S. Marshals Service as one of its most wanted violent fugitives. Johnson said U.S. marshals and Santa Fe county deputies, working on

a tip, arrested Martinez and his uncle, Melicendro Martinez, at an apartment complex on Prospect Street in Colorado Springs just past 6 a.m. Saturday. Johnson said Ricardo the two men were Martinez arrested without incident. He said he did not yet know whether either man was armed at the time of the arrest. Johnson said Melicendro Martinez

is wanted by the New Mexico Corrections Adult Probation and Parole Office for absconding from the state, though he did not know the details. Online records indicate Melicendro Martinez was arrested three times between 2007 and 2009, with the most recent charge being aggravated burglary. He plead guilty and served 88 days in jail. Alex Tomlin, public affairs director for the New Mexico Corrections Adult Probation and Parole Office, said Melicendro Martinez had only recently absconded from the state as

he checked in with the department in October. She said her office is working with the sheriff’s office to bring Melicendro Martinez back to New Mexico.

he U.S. Air Force trained David Huddleston to be an aircraft engine mechanic, but his wife, Sarah, maintains he never learned how to change the oil in their car. Instead, upon receiving his discharge from the Air Force in the mid-1950s, he used GI Bill funds to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. It made sense. As a child growing up in Virginia in the 1930s and on, Huddleston acted in community theater productions, minstrel shows and children’s pageants — anything to be onstage. And upon graduating from the academy in 1958, he embarked on 55-year professional career that included major Broadway productions — such as Death of a Salesman with Dustin Hoffman — and a number of motion picture and television productions that cast him opposite Bette Davis, James Stewart, Dean Martin, Richard Burton, John

But the actor, a Santa Fe resident, may be best known for playing Mayor Olsen Johnson in Mel Brooks’ irreverent Western spoof Blazing Saddles (1974), a broad, coarse comedy about a black sheriff (played by Cleavon

Martinez tallied 25 percent of TV political ads Analysis shows candidates, political action committees favor television for advertising By Sandra Fish New Mexico In Depth

At a cost of $12.2 million, New Mexico candidates and political action committees aired 260 hours of commercials on traditional TV stations across the state for the 2014 election. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez accounted for one-fourth of that advertising — $3.1 million — despite facing Democratic Attorney General Gary King, who spent only about $583,000.

“She had a lot of money to spend, so it makes sense to spend a lot of money,” said Lonna Atkeson, a political scientist at The University of New Mexico. “It’s a good way to reach a lot of voters.” Each week this fall, New Mexico In Depth analyzed TV ad contracts — 770 in all — filed with the Federal Communications Commission by stations in Albuquerque, El Paso and Amarillo, Texas — all stations that reach New Mexicans. The analysis included the amount of each

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

contract, the number of spots purchased and the candidate or committee buying the ads, along with other information. This analysis differs from others because it is based on actual contracts with TV stations instead of a formula estimating what ads cost. The New Mexico In Depth analysis doesn’t include satellite or cable TV ad buys because the FCC doesn’t require them to file contracts. TV advertising is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, expenses for many candidates’ campaigns and the avenue most often used by political action

committees and other outside groups to reach voters in the highest profile races. “We’re certainly not at a point where TV advertising is being eclipsed by online media and social media,” said Travis Ridout, a political science professor at Washington State University and co-director of the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracks TV political advertising.

Statewide races For the Martinez campaign, TV was among the biggest cam-

The U.S. Department of Education gave New Mexico a one-year waiver Friday from some federal No Child Left Behind Act mandates — essentially giving its blessing to educational reforms initiated by the Martinez administration: the adoption of Common Core Standards, new teacher evaluations that rely heavily on student test scores and the state’s A-F school grading system. In a news release issued Friday announcing the waiver, which is effective through the current school year, the U.S. Department of Education said New Mexico “has implemented education reforms that go above and beyond the requirements in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.” “It’s great news for New Mexico across the board,” Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera said Saturday. “It’s a real validation of our reforms.” She said the waiver renewal also makes the state eligible for a four-year waiver next time around, which would eliminate the need to request a renewal every year. She said it will probably be six months or so before the federal government lays out the eligibility guidelines for the four-year waiver. Winning the waiver allows states more flexibility in using federal money for educational reforms. Not everyone is happy with the news. Charles Bowyer, executive director of NEA-New Mexico, said the teachers union is “disappointed” with the news. “Obviously we are in no more agreement with [U.S. Department of Education] Secretary Arne Duncan’s definition of teacher evaluation than we are with Sec-

Winter storm poised to bring 1-3 inches of snow, chilly temps By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Bring in those outdoor plants and pets, and stock up on the extra blankets this weekend: The National Weather Service was predicting Saturday evening that a winter storm moving down from Colorado would bring up to 3 inches of snow and chilly temperatures for Santa Fe starting around midnight Saturday. According to Chuck Jones of the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, a winter storm currently hitting Colorado will move south into New Mexico overnight just ahead of a strong cold front pouring into the northeastern part of the state. “It will probably snow through a good part of the day tomorrow [Sunday],” Jones said Saturday night. “It will diminish by afternoon and stop by evening.” Although temperatures will hover around 32 degrees during the day Sunday, Jones said, they will likely drop to about 12 degrees by Sunday night. Most of the coming week will be dry, with temperatures varying from the low 30s on Monday to around 50 on Thursday and Friday, he said. And there is a slight chance of more precipitation next Saturday, he said. Taos will likely get about 4 inches from Sunday’s snow, while Albuquerque is expecting a mix of rain and snow. The mountain areas surrounding Santa Fe could receive 6 to 10 inches of snow, he said. Early winter forecasts for New Mexico show a good chance of below-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation from December through February, with more precipitation coming later in the season, according to the National Climate Prediction Center. Jones said forecasters are hopeful that New Mexico will experience “an El Niño winter, in which case we’re looking at close to normal precipitation around Santa Fe.”

In brief Santa Fe makes AP honor roll The College Board announced that the school districts of Gadsden, Hatch and Santa Fe were named to the national Annual Advanced Placement (AP) District Honor Roll this week. This is the first time three districts have been placed on that honor roll, though Los Alamos Public Schools was on it in 2013. Districts earn a place on the Honor Roll by increasing the number of students taking AP courses while maintaining or increasing the percentage of students also passing the courses. AP credits can be used in almost every college in the country. This year, 547 districts from the United States and Canada made the list.

DANCA DIXON Danca Dixon, 92, passed away peacefully in her home on November 12, 2014. She was born January 19, 1922 in Sofia NM to immigrant Bulgarian parents. After WW II Danca moved to Albuquerque where she met Jim Dixon at a USO dance. They were married on December 22, 1946, living in Taos and Santa Fe, where they raised their four boys. Danca worked for the NM State Highway Dept. until 1983. She belonged to Garden Club, Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, Toast Masters, DeMolay Mom, and attended St. John’s United Methodist Church. In later years, Jim and Danca spent winters in Apache Junction, AZ where Danca created beautiful paintings and ceramics. The Dixon family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Raymond Ortega, her caregiver, for his devoted care to Danca. She is preceded in death by her parents George Sr. and Lucy Belcheff, her siblings Evanca, Mary, Polly, George Jr. and her husband Jim.

Ads: Elections drew only 40 percent of eligible voters Continued from Page C-1 paign expenses, and many of those ads attacked King, which is unusual, Ridout said. “It does sort of strike me as contradictory to our usual story, which is that if you’re ahead and your opponent can’t afford to get their name out there, you certainly don’t want to do it for them,” Ridout said. Atkeson agreed, suggesting the campaign might have had other motives. “Usually if you’re way ahead, you tend to stay positive,” she said. “Maybe it was a strategy to lower voter turnout.” According to the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office website, 40 percent of New Mexico’s eligible voters turned out for the 2014 general election, the lowest rate in years. In contrast, when Martinez won election four years ago in 2010 as governor, turnout for New Mexico voters reached 53 percent. Midterm elections generally favor Republicans. According to the Cook Political Report, a respected Washington outfit that provides political analysis, midterms have always drawn older voters, and usually drawn white voters, to the polls in disproportionate numbers — two demographic groups that help make up the GOP’s base of support. At the same time, New Mexico’s Democratic leaning voters this year were less enthusiastic about their lineup of candidates, according to a Nov. 5 Associated Press story in which New Mexico pollster Brian Sanderoff was quoted. Candidates such as Martinez, who is mentioned as a potential 2016 vice presidential nominee, also often are looking to the future, Ridout said. “Sometimes candidates will spend a ton of money because they’re looking at other races,” he said. “They don’t just want to win by a few percentage points but they want to win by 18 percentage points.” Martinez defeated King 57 percent to 43 percent, winning all but five of the state’s 33 counties. Top TV ad spenders also won races for attorney general, auditor, secretary of state and treasurer. Republican Aubrey Dunn is leading Democratic incumbent Land Commissioner Ray Powell in a close race that may require a recount after Dunn outspent Powell $162,000 to $40,000 on TV ad buys. Dunn’s ad featuring a former orchard owner attacking Powell stirred up controversy in the race. Atkeson said Dunn’s strategy appeared to work. “He somehow managed to inform voters about an issue that really hit at their heart,” she said. “It resonated with people because people know about those orchards. It really feels like a New Mexico thing.”

Congressional races Top TV spenders — all incumbents — also won the U.S. Senate race and three U.S. House races. Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom

Udall spent nearly $2 million on TV ad contracts, compared with more than $1 million spent by GOP opponent Allen Weh. Neither candidate in the 3rd Congressional District advertised on traditional TV.

Outside spenders Nationally, outside spending played a huge role in U.S. Senate races and many gubernatorial races, often exceeding spending by candidates. That influence was smaller in New Mexico — about 13 percent of the $11 million in general election ad buys. The Republican Governor’s Association spent more than $329,000 on Martinez’s behalf during the summer, but the Democratic Governor’s Association didn’t get involved on behalf of King. Chile PAC spent less than $10,000 to promote and air an anti-Martinez documentary. The Committee for Justice & Fairness, an arm of the Democratic Attorneys General Association, spent more than $389,000 to support Hector Balderas, who defeated Susan Riedel. The Republican Attorneys General Association bought about $189,000 worth of ads supporting Riedel. A national Democratic group, SOS for Democracy, aired ads opposing incumbent Secretary of State Dianna Duran, who won reelection. And ads attempting to influence state House races were aired by the Democratic group Patriot Majority New Mexico and the Republican Goal West PAC. At the federal level, two Republican PACs, Conservative War Chest and West Main Street Values, aired anti-Udall ads in the final weeks of the campaign.

Looking ahead What can New Mexico expect in 2016? Potentially fewer ads, since there won’t be a U.S. Senate seat or statewide races in play. The results in this year’s congressional races seemed to indicate the three seats are relatively safe. But heated battles for control of the state House and Senate could steer more money toward TV in such races. And the 2016 presidential race could bring plenty of ads to New Mexico if it’s considered a swing state with a Republican governor and state House that’s balanced by Democrats in four of five congressional seats. Atkeson noted that while Obama won New Mexico by a large margin in 2012, Martinez and other state-level Republicans were similarly successful in 2014. “I’ve really been thinking about that a lot,” Atkeson said. “Those mixed messages between 2012 and 2014 make me think we have the potential to be a swing state in 2016 and that we’re definitely not solidly blue.” Sandra Fish, NMID’s data journalist, can be reached at fish@nmindepth.com or on Twitter @fishnette.

Study finds pot alters young brains Findings link use to low performance on IQ, memory tests By Kelly Gilblom Bloomberg News

Heavy marijuana users had different brain shapes and lower IQs than non-smokers in a newly published study, suggesting a potential danger to young people who abuse the drug. The research in last week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences used magnetic resonance imaging to measure people who used marijuana three times a day on average. The users had smaller amounts of gray matter and increased connectivity in the orbitofrontal cortex — a section associated with decision-making and response to rewards — and the changes were more pronounced in people who had started using earlier. The study adds to a growing collection of evidence that marijuana alters the young brain, just as more parts of the U.S. are decriminalizing the drug and more young people are using it. Current research indicates the brain doesn’t reach maturity until age 25 or 30, and people should hold off heavy pot use before then, said Francesca Filbey, who co-

authored the study. The data included 48 heavy marijuana users, 28 years old on average, plus 62 non-users of the same genders and ages. The research, which controlled for alcohol and tobacco use, suggested people who used frequently had increased connectivity in their brains — possibly compensating for the effects of drug use, Filbey said. After about five years of drug use, the increased connectivity dropped off, which could mean that the brain was no longer able to make up for the negative effects of the marijuana. The earlier someone started, the worse the result. “I think that it’s possible the brain can’t sustain continued compensatory mechanisms,” said Filbey, an associate professor at the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas. “What it might really boil down to is a difficulty in stopping marijuana use. It might be what drives people to continue use, despite the negative consequences.” Study participants who consumed marijuana also scored lower on IQ tests than nonusers, though the study didn’t draw a correlation between those results and brain differences. It also couldn’t show what the participants’ brains looked like before they started using marijuana, and more

studies are needed that can capture that information, the authors said. And the study’s focus on habitual users doesn’t address whether more limited use has any effect. Alcohol, which is legal across the U.S., can also harm young people during this time period, data suggest. Still, similar findings linking pot use to poorer performance on memory and IQ tests have caused researchers to sound a note of caution even as the stigma of smoking pot diminishes. “We just had our first baby this past summer,” said Matthew Smith, a research assistant professor at Northwestern University who has studied marijuana and the brain. “I would tell her if you’re curious about using it, delay until your early 20s.” Marijuana use has grown in the past few years, including among young people. The trend may partly be fueled by the changes in enforcement against the drug’s use, said Susan Weiss, associate director for scientific affairs at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which funded the UT Dallas study. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said last week he would direct police to reduce arrests for small amounts of pot by issuing tickets instead. Alaska, Oregon and District of Colum-

bia voters opted to legalize it in the Nov. 4 election, joining Washington and Colorado, while 23 other states allow medical use of the drug. About 6.5 percent of U.S. 12th graders say they use pot daily, according to NIDA, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. More than 36 percent of 12th graders say they’ve used marijuana in the last year. The share of kids getting high has ticked up for several years, though it’s lower than it was in the 1980s, according to Weiss. “When perceptions that it’s risky goes up, use goes down,” she said. “That’s the perspective we have which makes us concerned about all of these changes in policy about other messages going out.” Scientists have known about evidence of marijuana’s effects on the brain for some time. One study, published in 2012 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, measured people at ages 13 and again at 38. It suggested that people who used marijuana regularly at a young age had a drop in IQ that could be seen later into life. Researchers have debated whether that study controlled correctly for the socioeconomic backgrounds of its participants, and there is little other research measuring marijuana users both before and after they started on the drug.

Time: Screening benefits animal shelter Continued from Page C-1 a recent interview in his Santa Fe home. “It was probably the most fun I ever had on a set.” Huddleston will introduce a screening of Blazing Saddles at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Lensic Performing Arts Center on San Francisco Street. Afterward, he will engage in a question-and-answer session about the movie with the audience. Tickets are $50, with all proceeds going to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society. Huddleston still recalls Brooks — who directed, co-wrote, and acted in Blazing Saddles — calling him in for an interview on the Warner Bros. lot to discuss the picture. “I wrote this part for Slim Pickens, and if he can do it, he will do it,” Brooks said by way of introduction. Pickens did play the part that Huddleston thought he might land, but Brooks promised to call if there was another available role. Brooks called later and offered him the role of the mayor. The part consisted of just a few lines. Huddleston told his agent to turn it down. Brooks then called Huddleston directly and, without saying hello or offering any greeting, said, “You’d turn down a Mel Brooks picture?” To entice Huddleston, Brooks invited him to lunch, where they went over the script, page by page, stealing funny lines from the other characters. “That’s a good line, you want that one?” Brooks would ask. Huddleston nodded his head yes. By the end of the session, Huddleston ended up with a major supporting part. Most of those lines came at the expense of actor John Hillerman, cast as Howard Johnson in the film. Late in the production, Hillerman turned to Huddleston and said, “You know, when I first read this script, I had a much bigger part.” Huddleston kept his mouth shut. Huddleston recalls that song-and-dance man Dan Dailey was first cast in the Gene Wilder part of The Waco Kid. Dailey never shot a foot of film, as he was having eye trouble and couldn’t see well. Brooks then cast real-life alcoholic Gig Young in the part. On the first day of filming, while hanging upside down in a jail cell for a scene, Young suddenly got the DTs (delirium tremens) and began vomiting. Brooks replaced him with Wilder.

Brooks, Wilder and John Wayne biographers have noted that Brooks also approached Wayne about playing The Waco Kid. He declined but told Brooks the script was hilarious. Huddleston worked twice with Wayne, in 1970’s Rio Lobo and 1974’s McQ — the latter was Wayne’s first “cop” picture. On his last day of shooting, Huddleston stopped by Wayne’s dressing room to thank him for casting him in the picture. Wayne replied, “Well by God, you’d do the same for me, wouldn’t you?” The two did not discuss politics. Wayne was an avid pro-Nixon and Vietnam War Republican, and Huddleston said his politics are on “the opposite side of the spectrum.” Huddleston’s den in his Santa Fe home is covered with memorabilia from his career, from a copy of a caricature of the actor drawn by artist Richard Baratz (the original hangs in Sardi’s Restaurant in New York City) to stills of Huddleston in character as Benjamin Franklin from the theatrical musical 1776 and posing with longtime friend James Cagney. Huddleston and wife Sarah Koeppe, a casting agent, have lived in Santa Fe since

1988. The two met when she worked as an assistant casting director on Santa Claus. They have been together 30 years but did not marry until 1999, when they exchanged vows in the famous Tunnel of Love Drive-Thru in Las Vegas, Nev. Huddleston said he’s had a magical life. “I’ve had a very, very, very good run at this stuff,” he said. “I have been all over the world, made pictures in Mexico, Canada, Israel, France and England. I’ve met people who I never dreamt I would meet, all heroes of mine.” But if his is a familiar face, he is well aware he is not a household name. Once, while shopping in a grocery market, a young man said to him, “I saw you in Gunsmoke last night and you were damn good.” Huddleston thanked the man, who then moved to an adjoining aisle with his girlfriend. Huddleston overheard the girl ask the man, “Who was that?” The man said, “David Huddleston.” The girl responded, “You recognize the most obscure people.” Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 or rnott@sfnewmexican.com.

Waiver: 31 states have received extension Arrest: Extradition may take two weeks Continued from Page C-1 before their bodies were found on East Ramada Way, a small residential road off N.M. 14 south of Santa Fe. Local residents found the two teens’ bodies at about 9 a.m. Oct. 25. Cisneros had been shot three times in the head and Ojeda had been shot once in the head, according to the arrest warrant.

Johnson said it may take up to two weeks before both men are extradited back to New Mexico. At that time, the sheriff’s office will interview Ricardo Martinez. “We will handle the investigation,” he said. Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 or rnott@ sfnewmexican.com.

Continued from Page C-1 retary Skandera, so it doesn’t surprise me that the state received a waiver,” he said. New Mexico first applied for a waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind guidelines — which included rigid school proficiency requirements called Adequate Yearly Progress — late in 2011. President Barack Obama’s administration granted that request early in 2012. To receive a waiver, states have to demonstrate plans to prepare children for careers and college, set goals for improv-

ing student achievement, offer help to struggling schools while giving reward money to highperforming schools, and create a new teacher evaluation system that figures in student test score data. The latter action has been met with resistance and criticism from teachers unions and supporters, who claim it is an unfair way to measure a teacher’s effectiveness. In September, NEA-New Mexico filed a lawsuit against the state Public Education Department, arguing that the new evaluation system violates the state constitution by usurping

statutory provisions that “provide to local school districts the authority to establish the policies, guidelines and procedures for teacher evaluation.” Bowyer said the case likely will be assigned to a judge in early 2015. New Mexico is one of 31 states to receive a waiver extension this year from the U.S. Department of Education. Earlier this year, two states — Oklahoma and Washington — were denied renewals for not meeting certain requirements. In Oklahoma’s case, it was because the state had repealed its adoption of Common Core

Standards. In Washington, it was because the state had not moved quickly enough to create a teacher evaluation system linked to test score data. The Department of Education did note that New Mexico needs to do more work with its 89 school districts to update and maintain school report card data. Skandera said districts are working to meet deadlines with accurate information to address this problem. Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 or rnott@ sfnewmexican.com.

Official: Witnesses to Mexican army shootout wrongly jailed

In Mexico, a nation tired of crime Growing protests over missing college students could galvanize country By Randal C. Archibold The New York Times

MEXICO CITY — The fate of 43 college students missing and presumed killed and burned to ashes in a mass abduction in September has bred ire and indignation in many corners of Mexico. Spectators held up posters with the faces of the students at a soccer match last week between Mexico and the Netherlands. Thousands of demonstrators, mostly teachers and students and young sympathizers, have poured into the streets of Mexico City and have blocked major intercity highways, while setting fires that damaged the door to the national palace in Mexico City and regional political party offices and the state congress building in Guerrero, where the students attended school. And social media has lit up with related hashtags, including #YaMeCansedeMiedo (“I am tired of fear”), a play on a remark by the attorney general who cut off a question at the end of an hourlong news conference on the students’ case by saying, “Ya me canse” — “I’m tired now.” (He later defended the remark by saying that he was tired because he had not slept in more than 40 hours.) For the past week, President Enrique Peña Nieto had been in China on a trade mission. But the question that awaited his return on Saturday night was: What now? Will the case, and the passions behind it, prompt Peña Nieto to throw his weight behind efforts to address corruption, impunity and the rule of law with the same vigor he applied to his bold economic policies? Mexico has seen these

convulsions over sensational crimes before, with only modest changes in their wake. In 2011, galvanized by the kidnapping and murder of the son of a poet, Javier Sicilia, tens of thousands of protesters marched under the banner and hashtag #HastaLaMadre — roughly, “We have had it!” — and eventually Felipe Calderón, then the president, held a nationally televised meeting with relatives of the tens of the thousands of people who were abducted and murdered during the drug war in his term. That meeting gave rise to an underfunded office to address the needs of victims of violence but little else. Andrew Selee, a Mexico scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, said isolated areas like Ciudad Juárez and Monterrey received more attention after mass killings, resulting in some drops in crime. But politicians have been unable to carry out effective anti-corruption measures and a broad retooling of institutions. “Politicians of all parties have a great opportunity to make transparency and fighting corruption a banner that they all want to march behind, but it

Second lawsuit filed against Idaho wolf derby

is an open question if that will happen,” Selee said. “Historically, there is a lot of tolerance for corruption in all the parties; no one wants to offend an ally or friend. But the political class risks losing more credibility with citizens if they don’t come out clearly to do something.” But the shocking reports about the students in Iguala, who the authorities said were swept up by police on orders of a mayor, turned over to a drug gang and killed and incinerated, strike at the frustration and contempt many people hold

toward corrupt politicians and the police. The street protests, largely organized by students and teachers’ unions, may be written off as more of the same, with violent anarchist groups in the mix, but the public venting is spreading to some normally quiet sectors like the members of the Roman Catholic bishops conference and the chief justice of the Supreme Court, both of whom made statements last week calling for dialogue, transparency and concrete actions. “We think it is necessary to move from protests to proposals,” the bishops conference said in a statement. Alfonso Zárate, a political analyst, said: “It seems encouraging to me that the voices of complaint are multiplying. Corruption was seen for a long time as a lubricant that humanized power. This cynical view allowed it to avoid being seen as truly a cancer. The problem is it has metastasized and strikes all sectors.” So Peña Nieto returns home politically wounded and facing an angry citizenry demanding a bold response to corruption and impunity, as well as new warnings from financial analysts that the lawlessness could discourage the kind of investment he has been seeking.

The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Two survivors of a mass slaying by Mexican soldiers who have been jailed for weapons possession are innocent and should be released immediately, the outgoing president of the National Commission on Human Rights says. Raul Plascencia told The Associated Press that the two women, who his commission says were tortured and sexually threatened into backing the army’s version of the incident, were not affiliated with the 22 suspected gang members who were killed. Rather, they were prostitutes hired to accompany a leader of the group that met in an abandoned warehouse in southern Mexico on June 29. The leader was one of two men who

escaped from the troops early on June 30. The women’s detention is a violation of their human rights, said Plascencia, who oversaw the commission’s investigation of the bloodshed and is leaving the rights post Saturday. The army originally claimed all 22 suspects died in a fierce shootout. The two women, along with a third witness, have testified to authorities that most of the suspects had surrendered and were unarmed when they were shot by soldiers. “The only crime they committed was having been contracted by certain people for services,” Plascencia said of the two women, who have been in a federal prison in western Nayarit state. “From our point of view, they should be liberated immediately.”

Police brace for shooting decision Grand jury weighs indictment in teen’s death by officer By Phillip Marcelo The Associated Press

BOSTON — From Boston to Los Angeles, police departments are bracing for large demonstrations when a grand jury decides whether to indict a white police officer who killed an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo. The St. Louis County grand jury, which has been meeting since Aug. 20, is expected to decide this month whether Officer Darren Wilson is charged with a crime for killing 18-yearold Michael Brown after ordering him and a friend to stop walking in the street on Aug. 9. The shooting has led to tension with police and a string of unruly protests there and brought worldwide attention to the formerly obscure St. Louis suburb, where more than half the population is black but few police officers are. For some cities, a decision in the racially charged case will, inevitably, reignite longsimmering debates over local police relations with minority communities. “It’s definitely on our radar,”

said Lt. Michael McCarthy, police spokesman in Boston, where police leaders met privately Wednesday to discuss preparations. “Common sense tells you the timeline is getting close. We’re just trying to prepare in case something does step off, so we are ready to go with it.” In Los Angeles, rocked by riots in 1992 after the acquittal of police officers in the videotaped beating of Rodney King, police officials say they’ve been in touch with their counterparts in Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis-area law enforcement held a news conference this week on their own

preparations. “Naturally, we always pay attention,” said Cmdr. Andrew Smith, a police spokesman. “We saw what Michael happened Brown when there were protests over there and how oftentimes protests spill from one part of the country to another.” In Las Vegas, Nev., police joined pastors and other community leaders this week to call for restraint at a rally tentatively

planned northwest of the casino strip when a decision comes. Activists in Ferguson met Saturday to map out their protest plans. Meeting organizers encouraged group members to provide their names upon arrest as Darren Wilson or Michael Brown to make it more difficult for police to process them. In a neighboring town, Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm — with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they’re unable to leave home for several days. In Boston, a group called Black Lives Matter, which has chapters in other major cities, is organizing a rally in front of the police district office in the Roxbury neighborhood the day after an indictment decision. In Albuquerque, police are expecting demonstrations after having dealt with a string of angry protests following a March police shooting of a homeless camper and more than 40 police shootings since 2010. Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. John Stanford said he anticipated his city will see demonstrations, regardless of what the grand jury returns. But big-city police departments stressed they’re wellequipped to handle crowds.

Report: Ferguson encounter lasted less than 90 seconds By Monica Davey The New York Times

FERGUSON, Mo. — Audio of police radio communications and video from surveillance cameras at the Ferguson Police Department offer new details from the day that Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot dead by a white police officer in August. As the region waits tensely for a grand jury to decide whether to indict the officer, Darren Wilson, in the shooting, the new disclosures gave yet another glimpse of the complicated and unusually abundant information that the jurors may be sifting through. The audio and video were published Friday by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The police radio communica-

tions, including remarks by Wilson, reveal that the encounter with Brown on Aug. 9 was brief — less than 90 seconds from start to finish. The newly published audio, which the newspaper said it obtained through the state’s public records law, makes it clear that Wilson was aware that other officers were investigating a “stealing in progress” that had been reported at a local market before he came across Brown and a friend on Canfield Drive. But the radio dispatches do not clarify whether Wilson, who had initially warned the two friends not to walk in the street, suspected Brown at that point. On Saturday, lawyers for Brown’s family said the videotapes contradicted reports of the officer’s injuries.

Chemical leak kills 4 workers at Texas plant The Associated Press

LA PORTE, Texas — Four workers were killed and one was injured Saturday during a hazardous chemical leak at a suburban Houston industrial plant, DuPont officials said. The chemical, methyl mercaptan, began leaking around 4 a.m. in a unit at the DuPont plant in La Porte, about 20 miles east of Houston. Plant officials said the release was contained by 6 a.m. Methyl mercaptan was used at the plant to create crop-protection products such as insecticides and fungicides, according to DuPont. The cause of the leak was not known by Saturday evening. Five employees were in the unit at the time of the incident and were exposed to the chemical, the company said. Four died at the plant, and one was hospitalized. “There are no words to fully express the loss we feel or the concern and sympathy we extend to the families of the employees and their co-workers,” plant manager Randall Clements said in a statement. “We are in close touch with them and providing them every measure of support and assistance at this time.” The company said the fifth worker who was hospitalized was being held for observation but didn’t provide further details. DuPont would only say “the employee is currently receiving treatment.” None of the victims was identified as of Saturday evening. Clements said that the employees had responded to the leak in a valve when they were exposed and that the company would be cooperating with local, state and federal officials investigating the leak. “As part of that investigation, we are conducting our own topto-bottom review of this incident and we will share what we learn with the relevant authorities,” he said. Jeff Suggs, emergency management coordinator for La Porte, said the chemical release was not toxic for those living nearby, but that it caused a smell that’s similar to rotten eggs. “It’s a nuisance smell in the area. It’s a smell that’s traveled quite far,” Suggs said. Methyl mercaptan is also commonly used to odorize natural gas — which has no odor — for safety purposes. The La Porte plant has 320 DuPont employees. Four other companies are also tenants at the complex.

by Republicans. Instead, there was, with some wrinkles, a repeat of the earlier patterns of confrontation and inaction. Now, after another crushing midterm defeat for the Democrats, there are minimal expectations at the White House about getting things done through Congress and next-to-zero hopes on immigration. Past history and the urgency of not waiting have shaped those calculations about the consequences of defying the

Republicans by going ahead on immigration. What’s crucial is how Obama’s team reads both parts of that message from the voters, and as Obama put it the day after the election, those who did not vote. Obama advisers believe what counts most with people are results, not arms linked with Republican leaders in photo ops. “Our view is the outcome is more important than the process,” Palmieri said.

Some of them added, “Put that in your pipe and smoke it.” That simply added to the mystery. That is how to stop arguments. You simply give the instruction in as few words as possible. “It is time for you to pick up your toys,” for example. The child will then ask for an explanation. Don’t be fooled.

By Amy Joyce The Washington Post

A

recent conversation between my 7-year-old son and my mother-inlaw went something like this: Mother-in-law: “I have a friend whose grandson visited last year for Thanksgiving. She had worked for days to make a big, beautiful dinner for everyone. After all of that work, she sat the food down at the table and her grandson said, ‘Ewww! I don’t want that. Yuck!!’ ” My son sat wide-eyed, taking in her tale. He nodded. “Okaaaay.” I jumped in and we talked about trying a bite of everything on the plate. And even more important, we talked about why that was not a nice thing to say to someone who worked so hard to make a beautiful meal. We told him that this is a special time to be together as a family, to sit and talk for a while. In other words, this is not the time to bounce out of the chair for one more game of catch. And hey, we added, the sweet potatoes will have marshmallows on top! “I don’t like sweet potatoes,” he announced casually. Well, we’ll see how this goes. The holidays are a time of traveling, cooking, cleaning, planning, cooking more, making lists and counting chairs and napkins. But it is also the time of year when parents are considering how their 2-year-old will hold up during a Thanksgiving meal that starts at 7 p.m. Or how their 10-year-old daughter will react when she opens a present from Great Aunt Edna to find a puppy sweater that she would have liked when she was 3. Or whether their 7-year-old son will understand the importance of togetherness, love and thankfulness when the family gathers around a table. It’s a stressful time for many people. And even though we love our kids and they are lots of fun, they often magnify that stress. Even worse, our stress can trickle down to them, turning a happy holiday into a Noel nightmare. I tried to break it down (another list!) so we can all do more than just get through the holidays. Here are ways to help children — and let’s face it, ourselves — think about what it means to be generous, kind, loved and loving in the coming weeks.

them understand and appreciate all the hard work that goes into family meals, but also, the more children are involved in the process, the more they will try new foods over time. And yes, children of any age can be involved. Give your toddler a spoon and ask her to help mix something. Have your second-grader tear up the lettuce for a salad. Give your tween a sponge and have him wash the table. “Make them feel like you’re on the same team,” Barna said. They will have pride and ownership in the meal, which will entice them to sit longer and, hopefully, try a few new things. u Eat normally leading up to the big meal. I don’t know about you, but I try to not eat much leading up to family dinners on big holidays, in an attempt to “save room” for all that good food. Don’t do that. Make sure that you — and the kids — eat normal meals and snacks that day, Barna said. Incorporate fiber and protein. You want kids to not feel crazed with hunger, particularly if they aren’t going to eat much on their rather different-from-usual plate. u They will follow your lead. Remember that your behavior will influence your kids. If you don’t want them to eat so many sweets, don’t go gorging on the pumpkin pie in the corner at cleanup time. u End the day on a healthy note. Take a walk with everyone after big family dinners. You can enjoy one another’s company, fresh air or the pretty neighborhood lights.

Speaking of food …

Prepare and reduce stress

Megan Barna is an outpatient dietitian at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. She often hears from parents who say that they want their kids to stop eating sweets but then admit they have a secret stash of soda for themselves. If you want them to eat well, she said, you have to eat well. Children model their behavior after ours. She shared several suggestions to encourage children to sit and eat (yes, really) with the rest of the family. u Depending on their age, take them with you when you shop for the holiday meal and ask for their input. Obviously, they don’t get to dictate what will be served. But this is the time to show them your list and then give them choices: Should our vegetable be carrots, broccoli or cauliflower? u Let this time of year be a big experiment. We want our children to appreciate food, and the holidays offer great opportunities, Barna said. So talk about the food, explain what’s coming and what it will taste like. So they don’t usually eat Brussels sprouts? I didn’t think I liked them either — because my mother used to boil (blech) the odd little veggie. I will talk to my kids about that and how we will prepare them differently, roasting them so they are crispy and tasty instead of dull and mushy, like when I was growing up. u Bring the kids into the kitchen. Not only will having them come into the kitchen help

Eleanor Mackey, a child psychologist, also with Children’s, said parents need to recognize that as much as this is a time to enjoy, all of the hustle and bustle and togetherness also might create stress for kids. “Planning ahead can go a long way to help prevent problems,” she said. “The last thing anyone wants is a meltdown at a big family gathering.” Here are her suggestions. u Think ahead. Figure out what you can do to structure the event for the least negative impact on the family’s typical schedule, and prepare the kids for what to expect. In other words, don’t do dinner at 8 p.m. if you have children who go to bed at 7:30. Explain to them either before you go to a gathering or as the holiday nears how things will work. u Let kids know what your expectations are. Give them a timetable, such as: So when we get there, you’ll have time to play with your cousins. And then when it’s dinnertime, we all will sit at the table. I expect you to do that for at least 30 minutes. Then you can go play with everyone again. “Preparing kids ahead of time and coaching them about what’s appropriate goes a long way,” Mackey said. u About that weird present. Again, preparation is key. Kids have bad impulse control and may slip when they get a pair of fluorescent Santa socks for Hanukkah. But tell them before you go out that if someone gives them a pres-

ent, it’s because “they like you, and sometimes they might guess wrong. It’s really important that they just thought about you, and they thought they were getting you something you would like,” Mackey said. Then demonstrate what you would say: It was so nice of you to think of me when you got this. Boom. u Be realistic. Set developmentally appropriate expectations of, for example, how long your child can actually sit. Or how much conversing with adults will actually happen. Think your child can realistically sit nicely for 15 minutes? Let that be the thing you focus on. Want your son to speak kindly to an aunt he doesn’t know? Practice that conversation in advance. It may help you, too, so you don’t get unreasonably annoyed when your 5-year-old wants to leave the table before everyone is finished.

Gratitude and gifts Here’s the part that gets me the most about holidays. I want our sons to understand that there’s a reason it’s called Thanksgiving. And that just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean everyone who comes to our door will be bearing gifts (please, goodness, NO). So I spoke with Richard Weissbourd, codirector of the Making Caring Common Project at Harvard. His mission is to help parents, educators and communities raise kind children. Here are his suggestions for serving up a side of gratitude with your holiday meal. u Have a gratitude action. Weissbourd suggests you ask your children to think about someone outside of the family who has helped them. Think about people you don’t normally thank — the custodian at school, the mail carrier, the bus driver. Then do something to express appreciation, whether that’s a note, a gift or an offer to do something helpful. “It’s like putting people on kids’ radar who they aren’t normally grateful for,” he said. And hopefully, these specific activities will spur ongoing activities beyond the holidays. u Commit to a service or organization as a family. Talk to one another about what you most care about. Homelessness? Animal welfare? Then find an organization you can get behind, and make a promise to do something monthly for that group or that cause. “I always worry about the one-shot things,” Weissbourd said. And that’s true — just look at the foodbank volunteer wait lists at this time of year. Spread it out, and remember that these places often are asking for help year-round. u Don’t inundate kids with gifts. When you give too many gifts, the appreciation goes out the window. “You want them to be thankful for gifts, including thankful to you,” he said. “They often assume gifts from the family don’t deserve to be noted. But kids should note them.” And kids of any age should say thank you when they get a gift, he said. Which they will certainly understand if we do the same, right?

Even Obama can learn to edit his personal habits

Milestone birthday Arellanes 100th Florinda “Flora” R. Arellanes is turning 100 on Nov. 25. Flora was born in Las Vegas, N.M., on Nov. 25, 1914, to Gregorio Romero and Manuelita Martinez, who were born and raised in La Liendre, N.M., a small village that was just 15 miles south of Las Vegas. Flora married at 21, moved to California and has one son, three daughters, nine grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She lives with her daughter and son-in-law in Santa Fe. Flora has a strong faith in God and has been a lifelong member of the Catholic Church, which has carried her through the good and difficult times in her life. She was a homemaker for most of her children’s early school years and to this day she is dedicated to serving her family in whatever way she is able. That included caring for her aging mother who passed away in March, 1987, at the age of 99. Early in her marriage, Flora worked outside the home at various part-time jobs to make a little extra money and later worked full-time for Western Mortgage Co. She retired in 1979 after 25 years of service. Flora is blessed with excellent health and a visit to her doctor is a rare occasion. She likes to dance, draw and travel, and enjoys a good joke. Her favorite flower is a rose, and to this day she tends to her rose bushes in

TIERRA AMARILLA — Dusty Giles already had enough state championship rings for one hand, but the one he got on Saturday came with a Escalante 34 new accomplishHagerman 30 ment. Giles led the top-ranked Escalante football team to its second state championship in three years with a 34-30 win over No. 2 Hagerman in the Class AA title

game on a cold and muddy field in Tierra Amarilla. The win capped a perfect 12-0 season for the Lobos, who have lost just four games in the last three years. Giles already had five state championships — two as a player, two as an assistant coach in Artesia and one at Escalante in 2012 — but the perfect season for his sixth was something he has never been part of. “That is a tough task,” Giles said of being undefeated. “Sometimes you learn a lot more in a loss than you ever will in a win, so sometimes you

need that at some point during the season. To be able to overcome that is a testament to these boys.” In the Lobos’ way of a perfect season was the defending champion Bobcats, who scored first when quarterback Alejandro Ramos his wide receiver Mario Arebalos for a 48-yard score with 7:37 left in the first quarter. Escalante equalized it when junior quarterback Dominic Montaño ran for a two-yard score with 6:46 left in the opening quarter to tie the game at 6-6. The Lobos took their first lead

ALBUQUERQUE — There are some losses that sting. There are others that leave a scar. In the entire history of the University of New Mexico men’s basketball program, no loss has created a bigger mark than the one incurred during the 1978 NCAA Tournament against Cal State Fullerton. For many Lobo fans, March 11, 1978, is a date that their budding national power missed its chance to achieve greatness. Ranked fourth in the country with a roster led by future NBA star Michael Cooper and Lobos legends like Marvin Johnson, Willie Howard and Phil Abney, UNM was enjoying its best season on record. Finishing the regular season 24-3, the Norm Ellenberger-coached Lobos were a solid pick to make it to the Final Four in St. Louis. The tournament’s 32-team bracket was laid out in front of them like a red carpet — an open invitation to a deep run into the Big Dance. The West Region semifinals and finals were to be played in The Pit; the first round was in Tempe, Ariz. Playfully nicknamed “The Pit Stop” by fans and players, the cameo in Arizona was seen as little more than a speed bump on the way back

CLASS AAAA PREP FOOTBALL ST. MICHAEL’S 20, KIRTLAND CENTRAL 12

By Will Webber

LOGAN, Utah — The magic elixir that has worked so well for the University of New Utah State 28 Mexico on the road this season UNM 21 wasn’t quite there on Saturday at Utah State. Aggies quarterback Kent Myers passed for 150 yards and a touchdown and the Utah State defense held the Lobos on a pair of fourth down conversion attempts in the second half en route to a 28-21 victory in Mountain West Conference play at Merlin Olsen Field. The Lobos (3-7, 1-5) came into the game having won three of their four road games. Despite mid-20s temperatures and a light snow to greet the teams for the opening kickoff — UNM’s first game in the snow since visiting Wyoming in 2003 and fourth since 1997 in sub-freezing temperatures — Lobos freshman quarterback Lamar Jordan played well. He completed eight passes for a touchdown and 154 yards, adding 80 yards rushing on

when Montaño scrambled for a 10-yard touchdown with 2:49 left in the first half. After he scrambled again for the two-point conversion, Escalante was up 14-6. Montaño went on to finish the game by scoring all five of Escalante’s touchdowns (three rushing, two passing) and snatching two interceptions. “He’s crazy good, isn’t he?,” Giles said. “With these field conditions, we were a little nervous about ball handling, so we just decided to put the

ot bad, kid. Freshman football players don’t often get a taste of the big time when filling holes on the varsity roster. Jake Tetrault is the exception to that rule. Or, at least he was on Saturday afternoon at the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex. The Horsemen ninth-grader had one of the shortest punt returns for a touchdown you’ll ever see, then he had the defensive trifecta just moments later when he sacked the quarterback, forced a fumble and recovered the loose ball, leading St. Michael’s to a 20-12 win over Kirtland Central in the opening round of the Class AAAA state playoffs. The win sends the seventh-seeded Horsemen (8-3) into next week’s quarterfinals against district rival and No. 2 seed Ruidoso. The game will be played next Saturday in Ruidoso at 1 p.m. The other quarterfinals have top seed Las Vegas Robertson facing No. 8 Hatch Valley, No. 4 Bloomfield hosting No. 5 Cobre, and third-seeded Silver getting a visit from No. 6 Portales. The semifinals will be Thanksgiving weekend with the championship game scheduled for the first weekend in December. It was just two weeks ago that Ruidoso came into Santa Fe and hammered St. Michael’s, 48-14, in both teams’ regular season finale. “You know, with a team like ours I’d say a road game is exactly what we need,” said Joey Fernandez, Horsemen head coach. To avenge its loss against the Warriors, St. Michael’s will need a monumental shift from the effort it showed for the first three quarters of Saturday’s game. Leading 7-0 in the waning moments of the third quarter, the Horsemen surrendered a 27-yard touchdown pass from Kirtland quarterback Jacob Belin to Davidson Wyatt, then were victimized by what looked like a wildly controversial call by the officials. On a screen pass from quarterback Chross Jaramillo to running back Xavier Vigil — one Vigil broke down the sideline for a 43-yard touchdown — the head referee blew his whistle when he saw a Kirtland Central defender grab Jaramillo just before the ball was released, essentially ruling Jaramillo was down for being in the grasp. Chaos ensued as soon as the play was over because the referee immediately admitted he’d made the wrong call. As he retrieved the ball to put it back at the original line of scrimmage, he was overheard saying “My bad” as he patted his chest. Fernandez had an animated exchange with him, an exchange in which the coach reminded him that playoff games have more meaning than regular season games.

Manning presents tough test for Rams defense ON TV TODAY

INSIDE u The Eagles and Packers are the key matchup this weekend. PAGE D-5

The Associated Press

11 a.m. on CBS — Broncos at Rams 11 a.m. on FOX — Seahawks at Chiefs 2:25 p.m. on FOX — Eagles at Green Bay Packers 6:20 p.m. on NBC — New England at Indianapolis

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams have their pass rush revved up after a slow start, with 16 sacks in the last four games. It figures to be tough getting to Peyton Manning this week, given the Denver Broncos have surrendered nine sacks all season. Manning has not been sacked more than twice in a single game for the Broncos, who will cap a stretch of three straight road games against the Rams (3-6). Denver (7-2) leads the AFC West and the Rams are last in the NFC West. “We have a huge challenge,” Rams linebacker

James Laurinaitis said. “Quite frankly, if he came out and said, ‘Hey, this is what we’re running and try to stop it,’ he’s still Peyton Manning and he’s going to find somebody getting open.” St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher has faced Manning many times when he coached the Tennessee Titans and Manning was with Indianapolis. He knows firsthand how difficult it is to prepare for a Manning-led offense. “There’s no doubt. Peyton’s playing his best football right now,” Fisher said. “It’s amazing the things

he’s doing with the football. The cast that they have surrounded him with is outstanding. It really tests your defense. It requires patience. You have to run the football and get their punter on the field. Then you have a chance.” Manning leads the NFL with 29 touchdown passes and is coming off his ninth career five-TD game. He has thrown at least two touchdown passes in an NFL-record 15 consecutive games and he has thrown for at least one score in 48 consecutive contests. Manning is on pace to become the first player in NFL history to throw for 50 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.

PREP BOYS BASKETBALL

S.F. Prep lights up Mesa Vista Castillo y Mulert scores 36 to start basketball season By James Barron The New Mexican

Shooting is in Francis Castillo y Mulert’s blood — anybody from Cordova can tell you that. The junior wing for Santa Fe Prep, who hails from the little community east of Española, was born to shoot because that’s what they do in that town. On Saturday night, Castillo y Mulert gave a little demonstration of that skill, as he lit up Mesa Vista’s defense for 36 points to start the 2014-15 boys basketball campaign in Prep’s 85-42 thumping of the Trojans in Prep Gymnasium. On a night in which three players went down with injuries — including Blue Griffins senior post Ian Andersson to the same sprained ankle that plagued him for the latter half of the soccer season — Castillo y Mulert’s performance was greatly appreciated by Prep head coach Dennis Casados. “Francis had a whale of an offense game,” Casados said. “I just let him go, and once

he’s in a rhythm, he can go.” It just didn’t start that way for Castillo y Mulert. He missed his first shot from the field, then rimmed out a free throw attempt with the score tied at 6 with 4:57 in the first quarter. He made the next, but then he received some intervention from the stands in the form of his dad. “I wasn’t using much arc,” Castillo y Mulert said. “I looked over to my dad, and he told me to use more arc. And I did.” When he hit the first of seven 3-pointers on the night, it came with :40 left in the quarter and capped an impressive 18-5 run that broke the tie. Much of the work was done by the inside tandem of the 6-foot-6 Andersson (five points) and 6-4 Ben Perillo (six) as they towered over the smaller Trojans (0-1), who do not have a player who is even 6-foot. That lack of size was further complicated by an injury to sophomore point guard Diego Gallegos. He bent his right pinky finger when he went for a rebound, which left it pointing out instead of up. When Mesa Vista head coach Thomas Vigil visited him, Gallegos had one request. “He said, ‘Don’t touch it,’ ” Vigil intoned. Mesa Vista later lost sophomore Xaiver

Vigil to a cut forehead in the third quarter, but Gallegos absence hurt more. No Trojan could match his leadership that stems from three years as a starter. Add to that a technical foul by Alex Martinez midway through the first quarter, which landed him on the bench for the rest of the quarter, and the Trojans quickly became inexperienced and frazzled. “That technical took the wind out of our sails,” Vigil said. “We have to teach the kids not to do that. He’s a good kid, he just let his emotions get the best of him.” Andersson tried to let his desires get the best of Casados, after he fell to the ground with an ankle twist a minute into the second quarter. Andersson said it is still weak, but he would be fine. “It’s one of those things that it’s going to feel good, but you got to keep resting it because it’s not strong,” he said. It helped that Prep built a 48-24 halftime lead, and when he tried to lobby Casados to let him back in the game in the third quarter, the request fell on deaf ears. “He’s always trying to talk me into something, but I just tell him no,” Casados said.

Hard-core, what about soft-core? When my father and mother were hospitalized with broken bones, Bobby would call or visit on a daily basis. Unconditional love, loyalty and respect. His devotion, generosity, integrity and kindness will be remembered by all who knew and loved him. He has left us a profound legacy, which can be seen in the success of his former students, with many entering careers in education, engineering, law, military, plus the private and public sector. All of them taught, guided, mentored and nurtured by coach Rodriguez. I still cannot believe the sudden passing of my good friend, colleague and coaching legend. We had our ups and downs. Good times, bad times. We laughed, we cried. Pushed away and hugged, and in the end, we were there for each other. May God hold Bobby Rodriguez in the palm of his hand, and may he bless Imelda and the entire Rodriguez family. Here today. Gone tomorrow. Never forgotten.

On Kirtland next possession, Tetrault chased Belin down from the back and forced the ball free as both players fell to the ground. He then had the presence of mind to cover the ball and give the Horsemen possession at the Broncos’ 36. “Pretty crazy, but he was solid all game long,” Fernandez said. “He was in the right place at the right time on that punt. But that fumble recovery was big.” NOTES Kirtland Central’s Davidson Wyatt scored both of his team’s touchdowns.

With weather always a concern, the school elected to play on a Saturday to limit adverse driving conditions at night.

UNM falls to No. 5 Texas A&M By Jack McCarthy The Associated Press

CHICAGO — With suspended starter Courtney Williams sidelined for the foreseeable future Texas A&M 66 it fell to teammate UNM 52 Courtney Walker to again pick up the slack Texas A&M. The fifth-ranked Aggies junior guard scored 20 points in a 66-52 victory over New Mexico on Saturday in a Maggie Dixon Classic match at DePaul. But she also logged 36 minutes, causing some concern for Texas A&M coach Gary Blair. Walker also played 36 minutes in Friday’s 76-68 victory over the host Blue Demons, a practice likely to continue until Williams returns from an openended suspension. “I’m wearing her out just because no one else is hitting,” Blair said. “Walker wants [Williams] back in a hurry. Her arm’s getting tired.” Neither Blair nor the school has elaborated on the reason for Williams’ suspension, although

she continues to practice with the team. Walker topped the Aggies (2-0) for the second straight game. Bryce Owens scored 15 points while Khadijah Schumpert added 13 for the Lobos (0-2) in the match at McGrath-Phillips Arena. Texas A&M led early and throughout most of the opening half as Walker scored 10 first half points.

But the Aggies shot only 10-of-28 (35.7 percent) on the way to a 27-26 halftime lead, considerably less productive compared to Friday when they had 37 points and 53.6 percent shooting in an opening half against No. 18. DePaul. But Texas A & M opened the second half with eight unanswered points, including back-to-back fast-break lays from Tori Scott. The advantage

reached 14 points by the 3:09 mark on freshman Khaalia Hillsman’s jumper. “We started attacking the basket instead of shooting jump shots,” Blair said. “We wanted Walker to shoot the jump shots and everybody attack, try to get to the free throw line and our shooting percentage went to 53 [percent] which is where I expect it to be.” A&M shot 15-for-28 (53.6 percent) in the second half while New Mexico struggled with 20-for-65 shooting (30.8 percent) for the game. “Their defense is tremendous,” said Lobos coach Yvonne Sanchez. “They do a great job of getting up in your face, they do a good job of switching when they’re supposed to. And I think we hurried some of our shots, too.” The Aggies improved to 3-0 all-time against the Lobos in a series that dates back to 2008. The Maggie Dixon Classic salutes the former DePaul assistant and Army head coach who died from a heart arrhythmia in 2006.

Less than two years after the Fullerton meltdown, UNM’s program was decimated by Lobogate. The school went 13 years between NCAA Tournament appearances and, aside from a few high-point moments under former coaches Dave Bliss and Steve Alford, have never attained the rock-star status of that 1977-78 season. In many ways, every Lobo team since then has been held to the gold standard established by Coop & Co. — a standard that was tarnished by that loss to a school forever etched in UNM lore.

CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 32 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers made their first 11 3-point attempts, including Cavaliers 127 nine in 94 Hawks the first quarter, to rout the Atlanta Hawks 127-94 on Saturday night. The Cavaliers became the first team in NBA history to go 9 for 9 or better from behind the arc in a quarter, according to information provided to the team by the Elias Sports Bureau. James hit three 3-pointers in the period, while Kevin Love and Joe Harris had two apiece. The Cavaliers set a team record by going 19 for 31 on 3s. Cleveland, which rallied from a 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Boston on Friday, needed no dramatics this time.

FOOTBALL

NFL matchups Eagles (7-2) at Packers (6-3) Time: 2:25 p.m. The Mark Sanchez comeback story will have to be put on ice for a week. The last two games have been all about redemption for Sanchez, who spent his years with the New York Jets under a microscope. Most considered Sanchez a failure when he left the Jets, despite his early promise and poise. Now, Sanchez’s ability to run Philadelphia’s fast-paced offense while Nick Foles is injured has many wondering whether there is more to him than he has previously displayed. But expectations should be tempered as Sanchez heads to Lambeau Field in Green Bay, where the home-field advantage carries more weight than anywhere else in the world as long as Aaron Rodgers is the Packers’ quarterback. The Packers, with the NFL’s third-best differential between giveaways and takeaways, will undoubtedly look to exploit that weakness as they try to secure better footing in the NFC playoff race. Line: Packers by 6½. Pick: Packers

Patriots (7-2) at Colts (6-3) Time: 6:30 p.m. Tom Brady has taken New England to the Super Bowl five times, winning three, but when Andrew Luck’s name comes up, even Brady can manage something resembling envy. “Their offense is doing a great job this year,” Brady said of the Colts. “They score a lot of points, especially at home. He’s kind of the ringleader. He does a lot of things I wish I could do.” Luck is certainly having a season to remember for Indianapolis. His NFL-leading 3,085 passing yards trail only Peyton Manning’s 3,249 in 2013 for the record through nine games of a season. Luck is 737 yards short of his total in 16 games last season. But Brady has always been more about wins than statistics, and with Rob Gronkowski healthy, the Patriots’ offense will easily be able to keep up with the Colts. Line: Colts by 2½. Pick: Patriots

TCU did. Of course, the Bears still have that hollow nonconference schedule. Don’t worry about sixthranked Arizona State. The Sun Devils would play Oregon in the Pac-12 title game, so there’s a good chance they’ll take care of themselves. Ohio State, sitting at eighth, could make a move, too. Then there’s Mississippi State. The Bulldogs will fall, but how far? Mississippi State still has nice victories at LSU and against Auburn. Beating Texas A&M was OK, too. They also have a date with Mississippi left on Thanksgiving weekend. Few teams would have better big wins than the Bulldogs, but they also have more soft spots in the schedule than most contenders.

Nick Saban’s crew is now in control of its playoff hopes. Win out, and it’s just a matter what seed the Tide gets — which is important. The top seed gets the “home-field advantage.” The semifinals will be held at the Superdome in New Orleans and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Tide would no doubt like to stay in SEC country instead of making a trek out to the West Coast.

Florida State erases deficit against Miami The Associated Press

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Dalvin Cook ran for two touchdowns, including the goahead score late in the fourth, and Florida State erased a 16-point deficit in another impressive rally. Jameis Winston completed 25 of 42 passes for 304 yards for the Seminoles (10-0, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 3 CFP), who extended their winning streak to 26 games and beat Miami for the fifth straight time. NO. 5 TCU 34, KANSAS 30 In Lawrence, Kan., Aaron Green ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns for TCU, and Cameron Echols-Luper returned a punt 69 yards for another score. Trevone Boykin added 330 yards passing and a touchdown for TCU (9-1, 6-1 Big 12, No. 4 CFP), which trailed 27-17 midway through the third quarter before a big finishing kick that kept the Horned Frogs in playoff contention. NO. 8 OHIO STATE 31, MINNESOTA 24 In Minneapolis, J.T. Barrett threw for three touchdowns and ran for an Ohio State quarterback-record 189 yards and another score, helping the Buckeyes overcome three turnovers and wintry weather. NO. 16 GEORGIA 34, NO. 9 AUBURN 7 In Athens, Ga., Nick Chubb shared the spotlight in Todd Gurley’s return, with both Georgia backs rushing for more than 100 yards. Georgia (8-2, 6-2, No. 15 CFP) dominated the latest edition in Deep South’s oldest rivalry, handing the Tigers (7-3, 4-3, No. 9 CFP) their second straight loss and finishing off any hopes they had of repeating as Southeastern Conference champions. NO. 22 WISCONSIN 59, NO. 11 NEBRASKA 24 In Madison, Wis., Melvin Gordon rushed for a major college-record 408 yards and four touchdowns and Wisconsin overcame three early turnovers to take control of the Big Ten West. Gordon eclipsed the single-game mark held since 1999 by TCU’s LaDainian Tomlinson by 2 yards, setting the new standard on a 26-yard touchdown run on the final play of the third quarter and his last carry of the game. NO. 12 MICHIGAN STATE 37, MARYLAND 15 In College Park, Md., Jeremy Langford ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, and

Michigan State received a strong performance from its defense. Riley Bullough scored on a 22-yard interception return to help the Spartans (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten, No. 12 CFP) bounce back from last week’s disheartening 49-37 loss to Ohio State. NORTHWESTERN 43, NO. 15 NOTRE DAME 40, (OT) In South Bend, Ind., Northwestern’s Jack Mitchell kicked a 45-yard field goal with 19 seconds left to force overtime and then kicked a 41-yard field goal for the win. The Wildcats closed to 40-37 with 4:10 left on a 6-yard touchdown run by quarterback Trevor Siemian and a 2-point conversion on a run by Warren Long after Notre Dame (7-3, No. 18 CFP) was called for pass interference. NO. 17 ARIZONA 27, WASHINGTON 26 In Tucson, Ariz., Casey Skowron kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired to give Arizona a wild victory over Washington. Skowron, who also had an 18-yard touchdown run on a fake field goal, missed a first attempt wide right but the Huskies called timeout just before the kick and he got another try. The kicker gained redemption after missing the go-ahead 36-yarder in the final minute of a loss to Southern California. Washington (6-5, 2-5 Pac-12) was running out the clock when Tra’Mayne Bondurant knocked the ball out of running back Deontae Cooper’s hands and Derrick Turituri recovered for Arizona (8-2, 5-2, No. 14 CFP) at the Washington 45 with 1:23 to go. The Wildcats moved to the 30 and left it up to Skowron. NO. 24 GEORGIA TECH 28, NO. 18 CLEMSON 6 In Atlanta, Georgia Tech’s Jamal Golden returned an interception 85 yards for a touchdown, and fans rushed the field after the win. Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson did not return after a first-quarter knee injury. Cole Stoudt threw three interceptions after replacing Watson, including one Chris Milton returned 62 yards for a touchdown. VIRGINIA TECH 17, NO. 19 DUKE 16 In Durham, N.C., Michael Brewer threw two touchdown passes and Virginia Tech held on for the upset. Brewer was 12 of 23 for 138 yards with touchdowns of 15 yards to Bucky Hodges and 10 yards to Isaiah Ford. The Hokies (5-5, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Con-

ference) avoided their first in-season fourgame losing streak since 1992 and earned their second road victory over a ranked team this year. ARKANSAS 17, NO. 20 LSU 0 In Fayetteville, Ark., Brandon Allen threw for 169 yards and Arkansas snapped a 17-game Southeastern Conference losing streak. The conference win is the first for the Razorbacks (5-5, 1-5) since 2012, and it’s second-year coach Bret Bielema’s first SEC win after 13 straight losses. Arkansas’ shutout is the school’s first since a 20-0 win over Utah State in 2006. Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins ran for touchdowns for the Razorbacks, who held the Tigers (7-4, 3-4, No. 17 CFP) to 36 yards rushing on 32 attempts. It’s only the second time LSU has lost back-to-back games under coach Les Miles. NO. 21 MARSHALL 41, RICE 14 In Huntington, W.Va., Rakeem Cato threw four touchdown passes, Devon Johnson rushed for 199 yards and a score, and Marshall improved to 10-0 for the first time since it finished 13-0 in 1999. The Thundering Herd (6-0 Conference USA) limited Rice to 180 yards and ended the Owls’ six-game winning streak. Cato had scoring tosses of 2, 25, 30 and 7 yards to give him 117 for his career, surpassing Chad Pennington’s school record of 115 set from 1995-99. NO. 25 UTAH 20, STANFORD 17 In Stanford, Calif., Travis Wilson threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Kenneth Scott in the second overtime, leading Utah to a road win. Kaelin Clay caught a 25-yard TD pass on the first play of overtime before the Cardinal came back with the tying score. Jordan Williamson kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal — the same one Stanford passed up late in the fourth quarter — to start the second session, setting the stage for the Utes’ dramatic finish. Wilson found Scott on an inside slant on third-and-1. Scott jumped up, lifted his arms in the air and was swarmed by teammates streaming into the end zone, spoiling Stanford’s Senior Day celebration. Utah (7-3, 4-3 Pac-12) snapped a twogame losing streak. The Cardinal (5-5, 3-4) dropped consecutive games for the first time since October 2009.

QB: Lobos never led, but tied game twice Continued from Page D-1 23 carries. The Lobos never led, but tied the game twice in the second half on a 1-yard touchdown run by David Anaya late in the first quarter and again on a 72-yard run by Romell Jordan early in the second quarter. Jordan’s run was the team’s fourth of 70 or more yards this season. The Aggies (8-3, 5-1) took a 21-14 lead into halftime and

opened a 14-point lead midway through the third quarter when JoJo Natson broke free for a 48-yard touchdown run. Tyler Duncan’s 59-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jordan with four minutes left in the fourth quarter made it a one-possession game, but Utah State was able to burn the remaining time off the clock with a nine-play drive to end the game. Myers was 13-of-21 passing for the Aggies while Natson,

Highlands finishes season with a record PUEBLO, Colo. — A record-setting day for the New Mexico Highlands University football team didn’t end well. Despite senior linebacker Jared Koster setting an NCAA Division II record for solo tackles in a single season, the Cowboys dropped a 44-21 decision to co-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference champion Colorado State-Pueblo (10-1, 8-1) on Saturday afternoon.

Devonte Robinson, and LaJuan Hunt each ran for a score. Robinson’s 59-yard scoring run was his only carry of the day and gave the Aggies a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. Two plays into New Mexico’s next possession, Romell Jordan had his 72-yard run. The Lobos finished with 246 yards rushing — less than half the total they had in last week’s loss to Boise State but the most allowed by Utah State’s defense this year.

NMHU finishes 3-8 overall and 3-6 in the RMAC. A transfer from UCLA, Koster had 12 solo stops — and 22 total — against the ThunderWolves, giving him 104 solo tackles on the season. He averaged 9.5 per game and his 172 total tackles this season ranks fourth in the country. Punter Patrick Carney also won the D-II statistical crown, averaging 45.9 yards per punt in 10 games. He had six punts for 275 yards on Saturday. Highlands led 7-0 after Taj Mathis

Romell Jordan had a gamehigh 96 yards on the ground for UNM, which again played without the services of injured quarterback Cole Gautsche. New Mexico has lost two straight and four of its last five. In all four losses they had an opportunity to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter. Up next is a trip to 23rdranked Colorado State (9-1, 5-1), now the co-leader in the MWC’s Mountain Division along with Utah State.

returned an interception 66 yards for a score in the first quarter. CSU-Pueblo rattled off the next 44 points to take control. The ThunderWolves had 536 yards of offense compared to 175 for NMHU. Cowboys quarterback Lance Orender passed for 94 yards while Tyler Slavin had seven catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. Orender broke the school season records for pass attempts (541), completions (353), yards (3,948) and touchdowns (34). The New Mexican

Andrea Poole took this photo of Las Pozas, a surrealist sculpture garden in the mountains north of Mexico City, during a trip in October. Edward James, an eccentric and enormously wealthy Englishman — who lived in Taos for a year in 1940-41 as a guest of Mabel Dodge Luhan — was a poet and patron of the arts, especially surrealism. With his friend and foreman Plutarcho Gastelum, he created his phantasmagorical concrete sculptures on 80 acres of a rain forest laced with natural waterfalls and pools.

Denver assembles sparkling show of Cartier jewelry By Colleen Slevin The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — About halfway through the first televised Hollywood Film Awards, Chris Rock took the stage to accept a trophy for his film Top Five. “Wow, do you feel the excitement in the room?” he asked facetiously. The remark elicited the first real laughter of the night from an otherwise restrained audience. The show that has dubbed itself the “official launch of the awards season” was, even at a brisk two hours, a subdued, often strained celebration of celebrities and their films, many of which have only played at festivals and some that have yet to be seen by anyone. The Friday night affair was a strange amalgam of sincere and bizarre moments, including Johnny Depp slurring and cursing through a pre-written speech. Now in its 18th year, The Hollywood Film Awards hopes to become one of the major stops on the annual movie awards trail, now that it’s being broadcast on CBS, along with a pre-show from the red carpet and a post-show recap. Queen Latifah was this year’s host. Ratings for the inaugural show were dismal, however, with CBS reporting Saturday a peak of only 4 million viewers, far less than for its usual Friday night lineup, Hawaii 5-0 and Blue Bloods, which drew 11.5 million viewers last week. The Associated Press

DENVER n one corner of the gallery, Grace Kelly polishes her engagement ring on screen in the 1956 musical High Society. In a case just steps away sits a dazzling 10.5-carat Cartier emerald-cut diamond given to her by her real-life fiancé, which she wore in that final film role just before becoming Princess Grace of Monaco. It’s one of over 250 jewels, timepieces and other luxury accessories crafted by the Paris-based jeweler, some of them rarely seen by the public, that’s been assembled from Cartier’s own collection and private owners for an exclusive show at the Denver Art Museum starting Sunday. Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century shows how Cartier’s creations both mirrored changes in society and helped pioneer styles through wars, the growing independence of women and interest in designs from beyond the West. Princess Grace’s ring, a 64-carat diamond necklace, and an example of the yellow gold jewelry she favored in private — a brooch of a mother bird atop a nest of pearl eggs — appear in the show’s finale focused women who embraced Cartier during the last century. They include Elizabeth Taylor, whose ruby-and-diamond necklace from second husband Mike Todd is on display. It can conveniently be converted into a tiara with the addition of a frame. There are also two large gold threedimensional crocodiles, one

encrusted with more than 1,000 emeralds, the other with 1,000 yellow diamonds, which can be formed into a necklace that belonged to Mexican film actress Maria Felix. “She had style and she wasn’t afraid to flaunt it,” show curator Margaret YoungSanchez said of Felix. From the Duchess of Windsor — the former Wallis Simpson — there’s a bracelet and brooch featuring a jeweled panther sitting on top of a sapphire cabochon, among other items. The panther became both a symbol of the brand and also of the greater boldness of women’s style by the middle of the century, said Pierre Rainero, who oversees Cartier’s efforts to buy back and preserve its pieces. “It was very daring. Until that moment, it was only linked to women outside of society,” Rainero said of the panther. The diamond necklace with the enormous emerald used in the show’s promotional materials was made in 1932 for Lady Granard, the daughter of American financier Ogden Mills, who married an earl. She wore such over-the-top jewels into her old age, leading one diarist at the time to remark that the woman could barely walk because of their weight, Young-Sanchez said. The exhibit also shows how the influence of the Ballet Russes dance company, which had foreign-themed costumes and sets designed by artists like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, helped create a demand for jewelry influenced by Egyptian, Islamic and Indian styles. The show runs through March 15.

A case contains a silver, gold and diamond tiara made on special order by Cartier at the media preview for the new Denver Art Museum exhibit entitled Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century, in Denver on Thursday. The exhibit highlights Cartier’s rise to be one of the world’s most prestigious names in jewelry. DAVID ZALUBOWSKI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LASER LIGHTS Homeowners looking for something unique in holiday lighting can find it in projected laser lights. Using small spotlights, the technology projects thousands of tiny pinpoints of red, green or red and green lights onto your home or any other hard surface. PINNACLE LIGHTING GROUP

lark Griswold would be proud. Thanks to advances in lighting technology, suburban dads (and moms) across the country have a lot to choose from when it comes to creative ways to deck their halls for the holidays this year. Forget about white incandescent lights and animatronic reindeer. Think lasers. Think smartphones. And hundreds, if not millions, of color choices.

RGB lights Single light bulbs that hold three LEDs — red, green and blue — are the secret behind a new category of holiday lights that offer up to 16 million color combinations. Known as RGB lights, they can be dialed up or down in a variety of ways via a smartphone app. And because their color range is so varied, they can be kept up year-round and used for any number of holidays — Halloween, the Fourth of July, Easter, you name it. Lumenplay offers the most colors by far at more than 16 million. The exotic lighting system doesn’t come cheap ($79.99 for a starter pack) and is only available in 10-foot strands. But you can string as many as 500 lights together on one controller, which comes with the starter pack. GE also offers RGB lighting technology with its new iTwinkle light sets and pre-lit Christmas trees, while Texas-based decorating firm Christmas Décor is offering the lights as an option for holiday customers this year.

He and his mortgage partners have funded and built three homes for Santa Fe Habitat for Humanity. Contact him at FPhillips@fcbmtg.com.

‘Smart’ lights All the talk of RGB technology leads right into the next holiday lighting trend this year — “smart” lights or lighting systems controlled by your smartphone. Both the Lumenplay and iTwinkle systems are operated via apps available for Apple and Android phones. With just a swipe of your screen, you can dim or brighten outdoor lights, set them to music, or choose new colors and patterns. With iTwinkle, you can even record a greeting to play, like “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas,” spokeswoman Amanda Hayes says. Most of these apps have a range of up to 150 feet, meaning you can control the action from across the yard or while plopped on your couch watching It’s A Wonderful Life (or the Griswolds in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation) for the 10th time. “No longer do you have to venture outside to plug in your lights,” says Dave Geraci with Ohio-based Technical Consumer Products. The company recently unveiled a smart home lighting system known as Connected by TCP, which links to a home’s Wi-Fi or mobile network and is controlled via smartphone, computer or a special remote.

anta Fe has traditionally been a popular choice for second-home buyers. The combination of art, scenery, culture, food, history, weather, shopping and outdoor activities (I could go on and on) makes Santa Fe an attractive destination. There’s a new buzz coming from Creative Santa Fe, an organization committed to advancing cultural and creative economic development. Some of its ideas are affordable live, work, performance and exhibition spaces for creative workers; a creative corridor along St. Michael’s Drive; high-speed broadband infrastructure throughout the city and Santa Fe County; supportive entrepreneurship training for creative workers and market access for locally produced creative products and services; promotional strategies to showcase the richness and diversity of Santa Fe’s arts, science and cultural industries; and the encouragement of elected officials to support funding for the arts and cultural programs. That’s only part of the agenda, and it brings new energy and enthusiasm to draw even more interest in our town. Santa Fe relies on healthy home markets in other states to provide the buyers for second homes here. The 2008 national housing slump had a major effect on our second-home market. So where are we now? Traditionally, we hear about buyers coming from Texas, California and New York, but in our office, we’re also seeing second-home clients from Oklahoma, Washington, Illinois, Maryland and Connecticut, to name a few. It’s a good trend. Nationally, the housing market has stabilized. And as I write this in late October, we are still seeing annual percentage rates for home loans in the threes and fours. If you will need to take out a loan, remember that a second-home loan requires a minimum 10 percent down payment, and an investment property loan requires 20 percent down. The National Association of Realtors 2014 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey showed an uptick in second-home purchases and a slight drop in investment-property buying, but both categories were stronger than in 2010 and are almost the same as 2007 levels. In fact, vacation home sales were at their highest level since 2006. Nationally, vacation home sales were up almost 30 percent over 2012. Forty-one percent of vacation homes purchased last year were in the South, 28 percent in the West, 18 percent in the Northeast and 14 percent in the Midwest. Specific Santa Fe second-home trends are harder to quantify. The Santa Fe Association of Realtors released its third-quarter report in October. Overall, it showed a slightly cooler market than the same period the year before. Closed sales year-over-year were down almost 5 percent. The median sales price was down almost 1 percent. And inventory was up slightly by more than a half a percent. Second-home sales are not broken out in this report, but my view is that it shows there are second home and investment opportunities in our market. Coupled with current low interest rates, Santa Fe is an attractive place to buy. If you’ve been thinking about a second home, this may be the right time to do some serious looking — and purchasing.

Repair kitchen ceiling damaged by water? By Tim McKeough The New York Times

Question: We plan to sell a house that will need a kitchen renovation, and the kitchen ceiling has water damage. Should we fix the ceiling before selling? Answer: “One hundred percent, yes, you should fix it,” said Cini Palmer, a real estate agent at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty in Larchmont, N.Y. Even if you’re not planning to renovate your kitchen before you list your house, you still want to show potential buyers that the house has been well maintained. “The kitchen and baths may be dated, but if it doesn’t look like someone cared for the house and there are leaks or cracks, it makes people wonder what else is wrong with it,” Palmer said. “You don’t want them to leave thinking about the problems. You want them to leave thinking about how the house has great bones and how they could make it their own.” Beyond repairing damaged ceilings, Palmer also recommended giving everything a coat of paint, so rooms appear as clean and fresh as possible. “Just paint everything white,” she said. “Then when people are coming in, they can envision how they would live there.” John Rusk, president of general contracting firm Rusk Renovations, agreed that repairing the damage and making the finished surface appear as pristine as possible is the best strategy. “Buyers are very worried about what might be hidden behind walls,” he said. “If you have a ceiling that has obvious damage from something above, they’re going to imagine the worst. It would be hard to even make a sale when there’s a lurking issue like that.” Fixing the ceiling after the water leak is repaired is usually relatively simple, Rusk said, but it depends on the material. “If it’s a Sheetrock ceiling, the paper on the back of the Sheetrock can be a food source for mold,” he said. In that case, any moldy Sheetrock should be cut away and replaced with new drywall. Then drywall tape should be applied and the ceiling should be skim coated with joint compound, to blend the drywall into the existing ceiling. If the ceiling is plaster, the repair is easier. “Plaster doesn’t have a food source for mold — it’s inorganic,” he said. “Typically, if the plaster has bubbled, you have to scrape it out. If it’s too deep, you’re going to fill it with something called perlited gypsum, or Structo-Lite. Then apply tape and joint compound.” Regardless of what your ceiling is made of, Rusk said, finish the job with a fresh coat of paint across the entire ceiling. “Then no one is looking at the patch and wondering what happened there,” he said. Rusk also suggested painting the kitchen cabinets and installing inexpensive new appliances. Changes like those, he said, will help a rundown kitchen look livable, which could attract a larger pool of buyers. “It may not be anyone’s dream choice for their kitchen renovation,” he said, “but it will help your property feel and look healthy.”

Holiday: Laser lights aren’t cheap, but very convenient Continued from Page E-1

Projected laser lights Using small spotlights, this technology projects thousands of tiny pinpoints of red, green or red and green lights onto your home or any other hard surface. California-based BlissLights offers them for $179 or $199 each, depending on whether the lights are in motion. To a passerby, “at first glance, they look like traditional holiday rope lights, but actually they float freely across the house’s exterior, plants and more to create a display that neighbors will think took hours to design and hang,” BlissLights spokeswoman Natalia Barclay says. There are no cords or wires involved with the laser lights, says Nick Burks of Atlanta-based Pinnacle Lighting Group. “For people who live in the northern part of the country, it’s extremely helpful when you have to take them down and it’s zero degrees outside,” he says. “Instead of taking a string of lights down in January, just unplug the fixture and put it in a box and you’re done.”

Battery-powered lights This technology has been around a while but was mostly limited to smaller, incandescent light strands that you’d put in a window box or small porch display. Now they come in LED strands up to 30 feet long with batteries that are much more powerful and longer-lasting. Many feature auto-timers and buttons that control blinking and other patterns. At online retailer Lights.com, you can connect up to six strands of battery-powered lights for a total of 600 LED lights on one battery pack, spokeswoman Aimee Majoros says. You know what that means? 180 feet of energy-saving holiday sparkle.

TIME OUT

Decades too early

I

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014: This year you stay in touch with your feelings, even in routine situations. You will note that your zest for life emerges more often. Your views about various issues in your life will change accordingly. If you are single, look to summer 2015 onward for a momentous relationship to knock on your door. At first, there might be some disagreements to work through, but ultimately it will help bond the two of you closer together. If you are attached, you might be more committed to making a mutual long-term goal a reality. As a couple, you’ll also expand your circle of friends. Virgo is fussy. 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) HHHH You could surprise even yourself with some of the choices you make. You’ll have certain responsibilities that will require your attention. Unfortunately, you could become too involved with life’s demands. A call from a friend might pull you out of a funk. Tonight: Take a nap. This Week: Avoid contentious situations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your imagination could take you into some interesting situations. You might be unsure of yourself, but understand that taking a difficult leap will be very insightful for you. Tonight: Add some flirtation to the mix. This Week: Try not to personalize any comments or sarcasm. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might feel as if you can’t stray far from home — and even if you can, your thoughts keep returning to a family member. A partner will share some important information that could help explain why someone is being so demanding. Tonight: Dinner for two. This Week: Your ability to charm the socks off of others emerges. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH You’ll say what you feel and do what you want, at least for the most part. A controlling loved one is likely to be coerced into releasing the reins for a brief time. As a result, you finally might be able to see what drives this person. Tonight: Hang out at home. This Week: Pressure on the homefront could affect you.

Last week’s answer

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Conversations seem to surround family and what would be best to do. Your day-to-day life might be subject to change. On the other hand, you could take a risk and see what occurs. The idea of an adventure is likely to capture your imagination. Tonight: Very playful. This Week: You care about what you do and what you say. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your playfulness will emerge once you are with a loved one. Be more open to a friend who does the unexpected and could unnerve you. Allow the wild child within you to come out. Add to the quality of your domestic life with a purchase. Tonight: You decide. This Week: Be aware of the financial implications of a personal matter. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel as if someone close to you has a different agenda that won’t work well with yours. Understand that a discussion might be difficult. Instead of saying “no,” try out some of this person’s ideas, then decide. A partner could be most unpredictable. Tonight: Vanish. This Week: You know you are on a roll. Enjoy every moment! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Others continue to seek you out and want your company. Wherever you are, there will be a lot of people milling around. Whether you’re at a game or off

with friends at a favorite haunt, conversations could be somewhat limited. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner. This Week: A more relaxed attitude could make a big difference. SAGITTARIUS(Nov.22-Dec.21) HHHH You appear to be unusually soft and caring. Slow down, and make some calls in the morning to people you don’t often speak with. You will enjoy catching up on their news. The unexpected could occur with a new friend. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. This Week: Zero in on what you want before Thursday. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your changeability could draw a strong reaction from a roommate or family member. You could be taken aback by the intensity of the situation. You might not have realized how much you are changing. Allow your imagination to enrich your daily life. Tonight: Entertain your mind. This Week: Pressure builds around work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be taken aback by a change of direction. Though people might find you to be unpredictable, you still like a certain amount of stability. Think about an important partnership that you depend on. Perhaps you would like to be more available. Tonight: Out late. This Week: Be willing to detach. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be more in touch with your feelings than you might have been in the past. Others seem to drop a lot of food for thought on you when catching up on news. Do not make anything a big deal. Just relax with the moment. Tonight: Decide who and where. This Week: Others seem to be unusually assertive.

Scratch pad

n 1979, I changed careers. I had been a writer, but I decided to become an editor. The reason was that there was a woman with whom I wanted to have frequent sexual congress, but she lived in New York and I lived in Michigan. The only good job I could get in New York was as an editor, so ... BAM! (If this decision seems frivolous to you, even tawdry, you know nothing of Darwinian science. That woman is currently my wife. We have two excellent children.) Neither of us had much money when I arrived in New York, so we lived in a basement floor-through apartment in Brooklyn on South Portland Avenue, the block between DeKalb and Lafayette avenues, right next to Fort Greene Park. Gene If you are thinking that living next to a Weingarten park in New York City sounds pretty darned posh, you don’t know New York. The Washington It very much depends on the park. This Post one specialized in violent crime. We locals almost universally referred to Myrtle Avenue, which abuts the park, as “Murder Avenue.” My wife and I adopted a stray dog who had, on his back, a scar from what appeared to be an ax injury. This was a tough neighborhood. We chose it because it was funky, and the street was leafy, and the houses were grand, single-family brownstones — even though most of them, like ours, had been converted into weekly rooming houses, subdivided into apartments not much larger than a three-holer outdoor privy. Our apartment was a living room and a bedroom separated by a galley kitchen so small that when the oven door was open, you no longer could get from the front of the house to the back. When my wife cleared out our small backyard to plant a garden, the most common detritus she found was hypodermic needles. Our rent was $425 a month, and that seemed excessive, considering. Vehicles on the block were so often broken into for their radios that people stopped replacing them, leaving a helpful sign on the windshield: “NO RADIO.” Sometimes, thieves would smash the window in anyway, giving rise to the possibly apocryphal story that one such thief left a sign of his own: “Just checking!” During our 2½ years on South Portland Avenue our car was broken into twice, but the only thing of value that we lost was a rather nice baby stroller; I say “of value” because our neighborhood’s thieves were not picky. They’d take anything. If you left rumpled underpants in your car, they’d be gone. There was a small subway station just two blocks away from our house, but people didn’t use it unless they were in groups of four or more that included at least one large male. This is because there was no agent on duty and trains came only every 20 minutes, meaning that you were waiting alone underground for long stretches of time, which carried roughly the same risk of serious bodily injury as if Eli Manning handed off to you in the red zone. Our landlord provided only as much in services as the law required, meaning that during the winter, the heat was turned off every day, exactly at 10 p.m., regardless of how cold it was outside. My wife was working full time while taking law school classes at night. She got up at 4 a.m. to study, shuddering, teeth chattering, pregnant and miserable, under a large comforter, sitting directly over the air duct so she would catch the first blessed pulse of heat when it came on at 6 a.m. and not a second earlier, as required by law. I am telling you all this because of something that just happened. My wife walked into the room, wide-eyed, and told me to look at an article she’d found online. I did. It’s from a trendy New York website, which chose the 10 most desirable, interesting, upscale, excitingly gentrified individual blocks on which to live, the sort of blocks that are populated by hip, wealthy urbanites who have ocelots as pets. Coming in at No. 1 was: South Portland Avenue, between DeKalb and Lafayette.
