OROGRANDE riving through this stark landscape south of Alamogordo, it’s easy to miss Orogrande with its one convenience store, post office and a closed-up mining museum. Still, there are enough relics and beatendown structures that one can picture the boom years of the 1900s, when men flooded the area, living in tents to seek out gold and turquoise. By 1905, the year after a 6½-ounce gold nugget was discovered in a dry wash, the rush had spawned a railroad, a smelter, a 16-person real estate office, a barbershop, a hotel and nine saloons. “Rich ore poured out of the mines by the trainload,” reads an Otero County history blog. By the 1940s, the area was largely mined out, and today the Orogrande Trading Post on U.S. 54 is the center of the community for its 50 residents. But when the sun is just right, the mineral left behind by those seeking easy money reflects in the hillsides. And if Santa Fe businessman Daniel Burrell is right, then Orogrande, in New Mexico’s Jarilla Mountains, will soon be known for having the largest reserve of garnet in the United States. Gemstone-quality garnet is rare and largely found in places such as Madagascar and South Africa. What Orogrande offers is an industrial garnet increasingly needed by manufacturers for cleaning, cutting and air blasting. One of the hardest materials, garnet is cleaner than sand and silica, but 90 percent of the garnet purchased in the United States is imported. The domestic production of garnet in the U.S. — in New York, Montana and Idaho — now stands at 35,000 tons a year. Within three

years, if all goes as planned, the Orogrande mine owned by Burrell Western Resources may be producing 100,000 tons a year. “In the United States, there is no deposit as significant as this,” said Burrell, a former White House staffer and Democratic campaign adviser who moved to Santa Fe to head Rosemont Realty, a privately held company that owns commercial property in 24 states. What it means for Burrell is not just a personal business challenge, but jobs and economic development for a rural stretch of the state, 50 miles north of El Paso. He is prepared to invest $25 million of family money in the initial phase of the project, which will bring 50 jobs at first and more later when a processing plant opens in Anthony, N.M. Eventually, the number of jobs might double or triple as the 2.5 million-ton reserve of andradite garnet is mined over the next two decades, injecting $1 billion into the state’s economy. “It’s such a ridiculous opportunity,” Burrell said during an interview in his Santa Fe home. “Twenty years ago, if you stumbled on this, you’d probably have to pass — there was no market.” The find is an amazing coincidence of climate and geology, said Peter Harbin, a Las Cruces-based consultant who advises mineral companies and has been working with Burrell. Garnet, he said, is fairly common, but is often eroded and washed away with concentrations too thin to economically extract. And many areas that have the mineral — there are garnet reserves in the San Pedro Mountains of Santa Fe County, for instance — are isolated, meaning transportation and labor costs are very high. The rocks in the Orogrande mine are 75 percent to 90 percent pure garnet, “one of

the highest [concentrations] that I’ve come across in my career,” said Harbin, who has been working in minerals for 30 years. That means that every rock taken will be mostly garnet, so there is less waste. “I wouldn’t say it’s unique, but it’s certainly special,” he said. And the fact that the mineral is within two miles of a major highway and close to the surface makes the project more viable. “It’s at the surface,” he said. “You can go and see and pick out the garnet.”

Even before Susana Martinez was sworn in as New Mexico’s first Hispanic female governor, there was some speculation in the national media that she could be a potential candidate on a national Republican ticket. The whispers turned into a murmur last year, when Martinez gave a well-received speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. That murmur rose to a shout recently, Susana after Martinez made campaign Martinez appearances with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie the day before his landslide re-election in November. Suddenly, there was a slew of headlines speculating about a Christie/Martinez ticket in 2016.

Pope Francis’ crackdown on order alarms traditionalists By Nicole Winfield The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis may have been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year, but he has come under scathing criticism from a growing number of traditionalist Catholics for cracking down on a religious order that celebrates the old Latin Mass. The case has become a flashpoint in the ideological tugof-war going on in the Catholic Church over Francis’ revolutionary agenda, which has thrilled progressives and alarmed some Pope Francis conservatives. The matter concerns the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, a small but growing order of several hundred priests, seminarians and nuns that was founded in Italy in 1990 as an

NATION&WORLD Nation stands with Newtown

In brief Snowstorm brings dangerous travel conditions to Northeast HARRISBURG, Pa. — A winter storm blanketed a wide swath of the Northeast with a picturesque white layer on Saturday and gave ski resorts a boost, but caused dangerous travel conditions and complicated shopping plans less than two weeks before Christmas. Multiple accidents were reported on roadways throughout the Midwest and Northeast, while airports reported hundreds of cancellations. Airlines canceled nearly 1,200 flights because of the storm, including almost 375 flights into and out of Newark, N.J., and 189 at Chicago’s O’Hare airport. “It’s a pretty bad day for Newark,” said Mark Duell, a spokesman for FlightAware, a website that tracks commercial airlines. More than 40 percent of Newark’s 900 flights were cut, he said. The weather contributed to four deadly crashes on Missouri roads on Friday and Saturday, and drivers in states throughout the path of the storm were warned of slick road conditions from snow and ice.

A year after mass shooting, many across U.S. pay tribute to victims By John Christoffersen The Associated Press

EWTOWN, Conn. — Bells tolled 26 times to honor the children and educators killed one year ago in a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School as local churches held memorial services, and the country marked the anniversary with events including a White House moment of silence. With snow falling and homes decorated with Christmas lights, Newtown looked every bit the classic New England town, with a coffee shop and general store doing steady business. But reminders of the private grief were everywhere. “God bless the families,” read a sign posted at one house in the green and white colors of the Sandy Hook school, and a church posted that it was “open for prayer.” Ryan Knaggs, a chef who lives in Newtown, said that as the bells tolled he thought of two young victims who played soccer with his 7-year-old daughter. “The echo of the bells, knowing some of the children personally, you feel the exactitude with each bell … the exactitude of the loss and the grief,” Knaggs said. The bells rang 26 times at St. Rose of Lima church in Newtown beginning at 9:30 a.m. — the moment the gunman shot his way into the school on Dec. 14, 2012 — and names of the victims were read over a loudspeaker. Connecticut’s governor had asked for bells

to ring across Connecticut and directed that flags be lowered to half-staff. In Washington, President Barack Obama and the first lady lit 26 votive candles set up on a table in the White House Map Room — one each for the 20 children and six educators. In his weekly radio address released hours earlier, Obama said the nation hasn’t done enough to make its communities safer by keeping dangerous people from getting guns and healing troubled minds. Gun restrictions backed by the president in response to the shooting faced stiff opposition and ultimately stalled in the Democrat-controlled Senate. “We have to do more to keep dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun so easily. We have to do more to heal troubled minds. We have to do everything we can to protect our children from harm and make them feel loved, and valued, and cared for,” Obama said. Anniversary observances were held around the country, including in Tucson, Ariz., where about 100 people gathered as former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband planted a yellow rose bush in a memorial garden created after the 2011 shooting that nearly killed her. Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, said it is important to pause and support families of the Newtown victims. In Denver, a day after a student critically wounded a classmate and killed himself at

Colorado’s Arapahoe High School, more than 200 people gathered to sing and offer prayers for Newtown. Newtown itself asked for quiet and privacy on the anniversary. Satellite television trucks filled Newtown’s streets in the days after the shooting, and media have often returned since to the community of 28,000 people for stories related to the attack. In an effort to keep the anniversary focused on quiet reflection, First Selectman E. Patricia Llodra announced in October that Newtown would not host any formal remembrance events. The news media were asked to keep their distance, and “No Media” signs went up around town as they did in the weeks after the tragedy. Some news organizations stayed away Saturday from Newtown. A reporter and photographer for The Associated Press, whose reports are available to media worldwide, were present in the community, and some townspeople were willing to share their thoughts. Andrew Snow, a mechanic who was drinking coffee at the general store with a friend, said it was an especially difficult day. “You kind of hope the town can put it behind without actually forgetting about the victims,” said Snow, who grew up in Newtown and is moving back from nearby Southbury to support the community. “But it’s not easy to do. I think about it every day.”

BEIJING — China on Saturday successfully carried out the world’s first soft landing of a space probe on the moon in nearly four decades, state media said, the next stage in an ambitious space program that aims to eventually put a Chinese astronaut on the moon. The unmanned Chang’e 3 lander, named after a mythical Chinese goddess of the moon, touched down on Earth’s nearest neighbor following a 12-minute landing process. The probe carried a six-wheeled moon rover called “Yutu,” or “Jade Rabbit,” the goddess’ pet. After landing Saturday evening on a fairly flat, Earth-facing part of the moon, the rover was slated to separate from the Chang’e eight hours later and embark on a threemonth scientific exploration. China’s space program is an enormous source of pride for the country, the third to carry out a lunar soft landing — which does not damage the craft and the equipment it carries — after the United States and the former Soviet Union. The last one was by the Soviet Union in 1976.

Iran claims it has sent second monkey to space and back TEHRAN, Iran — Iran said Saturday it has successfully sent a monkey into space for a second time, part of an ambitious program aimed at manned spaceflight. Iran’s state TV said that the launch of the rocket dubbed Pajohesh, or Research in Farsi, was Iran’s first use of liquid fuel. It reached a height of 72 miles. It said the monkey, named Fargam, or Auspicious, was returned to Earth safely. TV footage showed the rocket blasting off and then showed the monkey, strapped snugly into a seat. The report said Fargam’s capsule parachuted safely to earth after detaching from the rocket in a mission that lasted 15 minutes. Iran frequently claims technological breakthroughs that are impossible to independently verify. The Islamic Republic has said it aims to send an astronaut into space. “The launch of Pajohesh is another long step getting the Islamic Republic of Iran closer to sending a man into space,” the official IRNA news agency said. The Associated Press

Mandela makes final journey home South Africa prepares to bury peacemaker By Christopher Torchia The Associated Press

QUNU, South Africa — Nelson Mandela came home Saturday. A hearse carrying Mandela’s body drove into his hometown in rural South Africa ahead of burial Sunday, returning the country’s peacemaker to the place where he had always wanted to die. It was here in Qunu that Mandela roamed the hills and tended livestock as a youth, absorbing lessons about discipline and consensus from traditional chiefs. From here he embarked on a journey — the “long walk to freedom” as he put it — that thrust him to the forefront of black South Africans’ struggle for equal rights that resonated around the world. As motorcyclists in uniform and armored personnel carriers escorted the vehicle carrying Mandela’s casket to the family compound, people lining the route sang, applauded and, in some cases, wept. “When I saw the hearse passing, I couldn’t hold my excitement. I felt like I was holding him by the hand,” said Norma Khobo. “It was very exciting, I saw him!” The vehicle carrying Mandela’s casket, covered with a national flag, arrived at the family compound under cloudy skies at 4 p.m. It was accompanied by an enormous convoy of police, military and other vehicles, and a military helicopter hovered overhead. According to Xhosa tribal tradition, Mandela was honored as a leader by placing a leopard skin on the coffin, replacing the flag. Mandela’s journey started Saturday with pomp and ceremony at an air base in the capital before being flown aboard

FBI uses undercover stings to fight domestic terrorism WICHITA, Kan. — The arrest of a Kansas man accused of trying to bring what he thought was a car bomb into a Wichita airport marked the culmination of a months-long undercover sting in what has become a successful and widely used domestic counterterrorism tactic. Court documents detail Terry Lee Loewen’s alleged conversations with undercover FBI agents over six months. The discussions began with vague sentiments about his desire to commit “violent jihad” against the U.S. before turning into a detailed, concrete plot in which the agents recruited him to use his airport

His body lay in state for three days this week, drawing huge crowds of South Africans who mourned his death and celebrated his successful struggle against apartheid. When Mandela’s body arrived at Mthatha airport soldiers in full dress regalia, male and female, were stationed on foot on either side of the road as cows grazed nearby. Local residents lined the route, shielding themselves from the sun with umbrellas. Mandela had longed to spend his final months in his beloved rural village but instead he had spent them in a hospital in Pretoria and then in his home in Johannesburg where he had remained in critical condition, suffering from lung problems and other ailments, until his death.

access to plant a bomb in a martyrdom operation. Loewen, a 58-year-old avionics technician who worked at the airport for Hawker Beechcraft, was arrested Friday on charges including providing support to al-Qaida and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Loewen remains jailed, and prosecutors expect to take their case to a grand jury Wednesday. The case resembles a string of investigations conducted by the FBI since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that have prompted controversy over whether law enforcement’s tactics involve entrapment and

violate civil liberties. One such case involved an undercover agent pretending to be a terrorist who provided a teenager with a phony car bomb, then watched him plant it in downtown Chicago. In Boston, a man was sentenced to 17 years in prison for plotting with undercover agents to fly remote-controlled planes packed with explosives into the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. The FBI insists the stings are a vital, legal tool for averting potentially deadly terrorist attacks — and juries have returned tough sentences. The Associated Press

a military plane to this simple village in the wide-open spaces of eastern South Africa. At the Mthatha airport Mandela’s casket was welcomed by a military guard and placed in a convoy for the 20 mile voyage toward Qunu. Residents and people who had traveled for hours thronged a road leading to Qunu, singing and dancing as Mandela T-shirts were handed out. “We got up this morning at 2 a.m. and drove from Port Elizabeth — it’s about seven hours — and we got here now. We’re waiting on to show our last respects to Madiba,” said Ebrahim Jeftha, using Mandela’s clan name. Mandela’s widow, Graca Machel, and his former wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, tearfully embraced at Mthatha airport when the casket arrived. Mandela had been imprisoned for 27 years for opposing racist apartheid and emerged in 1990 to forge a new democratic South Africa by promoting forgiveness and reconciliation. He became president in 1994 after South Africa’s first all-race democratic elections. The late president died in his Johannesburg home Dec. 5 at age 95.

Prospects: Orogrande mine will have to prove itself Continued from Page A-1 Burrell admits this is an opportunity that has come his way at the right time — when the manufacturing economy is recovering and demand for clean industrial materials is rising. It also comes when he can afford to leave his job at Rosemont to embark on something less certain, but with different challenges and rewards.

Unexpected opportunity Identifying market opportunities has gotten Burrell where he is today. Burrell, 35, went to Georgetown University as an undergraduate and gained a White House internship, which led to a domestic policy job in the Clinton administration. He eventually went to Yale Law School and joined U.S. Sen. John Kerry’s presidential campaign. Burrell left politics after Kerry lost his presidential bid in 2004 and joined a small equity group called Rosemont Capital, which specializes in funding small and midsize companies. Still active in politics, he came to New Mexico for a Diane Denish campaign event and met some of the managers at BGK Properties — and eventually Eddie Gilbert himself, the former New York financier whose life on Wall Street was documented in Boy Wonder of Wall Street, the 2003 book by Richard Wittingham. A partnership between BGK and Rosemont made sense: Gilbert was looking for an injection of capital to restructure, and Burrell and his partners were looking for some safer real estate assets to ride out the recession. The companies joined into what has become Rosemont Realty, which is still based in Santa Fe at 330 Garfield St. Since Burrell joined Rosemont in 2009, the assets have doubled in size with 173 office buildings in 24 states and eight regional offices. The company manages 18 million square feet of office space. Then earlier this year, Burrell announced he was stepping aside from the day-to-day management at Rosemont, though he would remain on the board. He said then he would stay in New Mexico. “It’s a business opportunity here in the state that came about suddenly. It’s not a move that I planned. It’s so unique and unusual that I needed to jump,” he told The New Mexican in September.

He declined to discuss what that move was until now. The Orogrande mine came Burrell’s way when a member of a Texas family called him asking if Rosemont was interested in its small real estate holdings around the El Paso airport. Rosemont passed on the opportunity, but the family also asked about some old mining claims in Otero County — 2,400 acres that had been in the family dating back to the 1872 mining law, a measure passed by the federal government that gave land to pioneers seeking to expand the nation west. At the same time, Burrell’s fatherin-law, John Jetter, was hearing that the Orogrande mine was looking for investors. Jetter worked in the natural resources sector for Rio Tinto, a multinational mining corporation, and is a retired financial manager at J.P. Morgan. Minerals seem to run in the family. Katherine Jetter, Burrell’s wife, is an internationally known gemologist with her own line of opal jewelry. In a January 2013 interview on Japanese television, she tells how she started. “The first time I went out to a mine, I was 22 years old and my father and I drove 10 hours into the outback, and all I had was a little bit of money and a dream,” she said. She visited with the miners, they ate together and then she purchased some of the gemstones to start her collection. But the coincidences were mounting as Burrell said he kept hearing about Orogrande. So after consulting with John Jetter, Burrell paid for a preliminary evaluation of the land and a survey. When he toured the property, he saw a huge outcrop of garnet that dominated the hillside. That was enough for him to hire a full geological survey team, which has taken core samples and completed more detailed computer mapping. Burrell formed Burrell Western Resources and purchased the property. He and his father-in-law are the sole investors and are funding the first phase of the business with $25 million, although they might seek outside capital in the future. Arnand Van Heerden with Tetra Tech Mining & Minerals in Golden, Colo., is the lead geologist on the project. When walking the site in November, Heerden pointed to the limestone and monzonite rocks. The mix, along with some moisture and high temperatures, creates a sponge-like sediment

Possible game-changer Harbin, the Las Cruces-based mining consultant, said the U.S. government might be one potential customer, as it uses garnet to blast and clean military ships and equipment. Oil and gas producers also use the material to clean rust and grit from storage tanks. Harbin believes the New Mexico

garnet is so unique that it can change supply and demand. Many firms, he said, are using sand and silica for these jobs because garnet prices have gone up as India has consolidated the supply. But garnet is an incredibly hard mineral and much cleaner than sand — and it doesn’t have any of the health risks to workers. So he thinks once the Orogrande product is commercially available, it will actually replace other products. For instance, because garnet is so hard and clean, it can be mixed with water for a manufacturing process called water-jet cutting. Harbin likened it to firing a laser beam without the heat, so auto parts or clothing fabrics can be finely cut without the need for finishing. “Unlike a laser, you can get exact shapes, so there is no cleaning after,” Harbin said. And then there is the reality that many customers are used to buying garnet from India, and may not have heard that New Mexico now has a domestic reserve. “All we have to do is convince a lot of people back East that New Mexico is in the United States,” he said. Martin Salcido and his wife, Vickki, have lived in Otero County just about their entire lives and recently bought the Orogrande Trading Post, a small convenience store and gas station on U.S. 54. He said the old mining museum that used to offer historical tours closed last year when the proprietor retired. But there are two active mines on BLM land — one copper, one iron. And there are prospecting clubs that come to the area with students or tourists to demonstrate mining techniques and learn about the history. When a group came up recently from El Paso with German tourists, they even found a small shard of gold while working an area near an old mine. Most residents living there still have inherited mining claims, but they “don’t do [prospecting] for their main source of income. … They do it as a hobby,” he said. A new mining project that might bring steady jobs is a big deal for Orogrande and Otero County. “For us, we’re pretty much the only store around here, so it will definitely help,” Salcido said. “They were talking maybe being here for 20 years, so we’re pretty excited.” Contact Bruce Krasnow at brucek@sfnewmexican.com.

Here are the possible economic development impacts from the Orogrande mine, according to Daniel Burrell: Phase 1 development, 50 jobs, all with benefits: u 10 executive management positions u 10 engineering, plant and mine site supervisory positions u 30 manufacturing jobs These numbers double in a Phase 2 of the project

DIRECT INVESTMENT (2014) u $25 million invested in equipment, materials and buildings at the processing facility in Anthony and at the mine site in Orogrande. This investment nearly doubles in Phase 2.

ECONOMIC MULTIPLIER EFFECT u Burrell said the company is using New Mexico businesses for legal services, accounting and tax services, as well as for on-the-ground drilling rigs, water transportation, core testing, survey and title work, sales and contracting.

RENEWED INTEREST IN MINERAL EXPLORATION u The garnet reserve is the largest in the United States, and given that it is a hard rock deposit versus a beach sand deposit, it is one of the more unique concentrations of the mineral globally. Burrell hopes this will renew interest in the Orogrande area by precious metals and minerals companies, leading to further development.

magma that results in garnet. Add a few hundred years of percolation, and Orogrande seems to be the perfect stewpot. Heerden called it “a perfect storm of events. For something like this, you really have to have it cooked in all directions,” he said. “Why garnet has not been mined here before I cannot tell you.” Burrell has some idea. The surface garnet was first seen in the 1990s by a group looking for gold. Then the family that previously owned the land started geological work and core sampling in 2005, but the price of all industrial materials dropped when the financial crisis hit. Burrell said the family probably lacked the investors and funding to move forward. He said getting outside investment for extractive projects is difficult — there is a lot of money needed up front and no real return for several years. So he knew if his efforts were going to move forward, “I had to dedicate all my time to running it.” Burrell has already spent months at the site, working with geologists, lining up permits for blasting and access, complying with mining and restoration requirements as well as the logistics of getting huge water trucks from Alamogordo to the mine area. In 2014, the site is expected to start with limited mining of five or six tons that can be taken to a processing plant in Denver. Once there, the rocks will be crushed, with the garnet separated out with magnets. It then has to be washed, bagged and shipped to potential customers. Because the Orogrande mine is new, the material will have to prove itself before large-scale production can begin. That means getting samples to users so they can test it as it gains certifications from trade groups and the government. If all goes well, Burrell will have a processing plant in Anthony, 54 miles from Orogrande, up and running in 2015.

sion to evangelize. For some, the issue is purely ideological. Christopher Ferrara, a columnist for The Remant, a traditionalist biweekly newspaper in the United States, said Volpi’s aim was to make the order conform to the more progressive ideology of other religious orders like Volpi’s own Capuchins, which he noted are dwindling in numbers while more conservative, traditionminded orders like the Franciscan Friars are growing. “Traditionalism isn’t an ideology, it’s holding fast to everything that has been handed down,” Ferrara said in a telephone interview. A group of tradition-minded lay Catholics has launched an online petition seeking Volpi’s ouster, but it’s not clear how many signatories have signed on; an email seeking figures wasn’t returned Saturday. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, defended Volpi as a sage, esteemed and experienced administrator and dismissed calls for his removal. “He knows religious life well, was for many years head of the Italian conference of religious superiors and I think his nomination was a wise choice,” Lombardi said in an email to The Associated Press. “While the situation seems difficult and painful, it appears the letter is yet another demonstration that the naming of a commissioner was necessary and that he knows what to do with the powers he has. “I don’t have any reason to doubt it,” Lombardi concluded. The Rev. Robert Gahl, a moral theologian at the Opus Dei-run Pontifical Holy Cross University, said he was certain that the pope wasn’t opposed to the old Latin Mass and was not aiming to combat it by restricting its celebration with the Friars. He said Francis appeared to be taking the measures to quell the internal conflicts that arose over its celebration, and then took other measures after financial irregularities occurred. “Liturgy is always a surprisingly sensitive topic,” he said. “It can be extremely controversial

and can upset communities even when the substance of the disagreement is minuscule. So, I think Francis is pushing for community peace and unity which may entail a temporary reduction in some use” of the old Latin Mass. “I’m certain that Francis wants unity in Christ and to put a stop to the back-biting between ideological groups in the church, also by those who ideologize the liturgy,” he said.

What is a Hospitalist? If you or someone you know has recently been admitted to CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, chances are you were not seen by your primary care provider. Our hospital, like others around the country, is staffed by "hospitalists"- physicians specializing in the care of patients in the hospital. Our experienced hospital-based providers include Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Pediatric physicians who provide care for numerous medical conditions. Hospitalists have been an important of patient care in hospitals for the Frantz Melio, M.D. last 15 years and added at CHRISTUS St. Vincent about 10 years ago. A hospitalist visits with patients and their families every day, ensuring specialized and coordinated care. This allows them to efficiently order tests, treatments, and any necessary consultations with specialists. Hospitalists are on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing them to respond to your medical needs in a timely and efficient manner. Since they do not see outside patients, hospitalists devote their complete attention to hospital patients. They also maintain communication with your primary care provider and specialists to ensure transition of your care. On your admission to the hospital, and again at discharge, your primary care provider will receive a communication summarizing your hospitalization. Hospitalists prioritize their daily visits based on a patient's severity of illness and readiness for discharge. Patients requiring more immediate attention from a physician, or who are ready for discharge, are seen in the morning. Patients who are more stable are seen in the afternoon. Given their 24/7 presence in the hospital, it's possible you might see more than one hospitalist during your stay. Your primary care provider may visit you while you are in the hospital. However, it is more common that you will see your primary care provider after you are discharged from the hospital. At CHRISTUS St. Vincent, our goal is to provide you with consistent, compassionate, quality care during your hospital stay. Our hospitalist program is just one way that we work to ensure you receive optimal care and that your stay at our hospital is as comfortable as possible. Frantz Melio, M.D., is Chief Medical Officer for CHRISTUS St. Vincent

THE NEW MEXICAN Sunday, December 15, 2013

Martinez: Talk persists despite governor’s expressed lack of interest Continued from Page A-1 Charlie Cook, a political analyst who publishes a newsletter called The Cook Political Report, summed up what national pundits have been saying about New Mexico’s governor: “The Republican Party’s brand is so badly damaged overall, Martinez checks virtually every box,” Cook told The New Mexican. “She’s a Hispanic, woman, relatively young and seen as a centrist at a time when the GOP is seen as having massive problems with each of those four groups.” But how much would Susana Martinez really bring to a national ticket? Would she really help the GOP with the Hispanic vote? Would the fact that she hasn’t really embraced social conservatives’ causes and has tried to position herself as a moderate doom her chances with the national GOP base? Does she really have a chance at being on the national ticket? To that last question, Cook and at least two other national political commentators say yes. State Democratic Party Chairman Sam Bregman, however, said in a recent profile of Martinez, published in the Washington Examiner, that if she is chosen as the vice presidential candidate, she will become “the Sarah Palin of New Mexico.” Other critics have made similar remarks. Martinez has not just downplayed talk of running for national office — when asked by reporters, state or national, she’s consistently said she has no interest in such a job. One of her most recent denials was in the Washington Examiner profile. The headline of the article in the newspaper, a rightleaning weekly in the nation’s capital, read, “Is New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez a Republican VP candidate?” First, Martinez spoke about why she declined to be considered for Mitt Romney’s running mate last year. “I had no intentions of leaving my state, and no intentions, vetted or not, offered or not, of that position,” Martinez said. “So it would have been a waste of their time.” Asked whether she would consider being vetted for the job in 2016, the story said, “her response was no less Shermanesque, if more succinct: She shook her head ‘no,’ somewhat wistfully, followed by a firm, ‘Nuh uh.’ ” And yet the national-ticket talk persists. Some national pundits told The New Mexican recently that no matter what she’s saying now, Martinez will be seriously considered as a running mate by whoever gets the GOP presidential nomination. “When I am in conversations about potential 2016 Republican running mates, Gov. Martinez’s name comes up almost every time,” Cook said. Besides her ethnicity and gender, he said, “She’s a governor who has never worked in Washington at a time when Congress and Washington is really discredited and state governments are perceived as running much better. … I don’t personally know her, but her reputation is very good. It’s almost certain that she will be on every short list for veep.” Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia Center for Politics agreed: “Her gender, Hispanic background, life story, and yes, her moderation on some issues will help the GOP,” he said in an email. “Martinez will have lots of competition for the second slot,” Sabato said. “But she’ll be played up by the party leadership. They are desperate for more diversity to combat the Democrats’ growing edge nationally among Hispanics and other groups.” David Mark, editor-in-chief of Politix (http://politix.topix. com), said in a recent phone interview that being Hispanic could possibly help Martinez’s chances of being on the ticket. But, he said, her gender works for Martinez better than ethnicity. There’s a good chance that the Republicans will pick a woman for vice president, especially if the Democrats choose Hillary Clinton for their presidential candidate, he said. “The field of potential female Republicans [for vice president] is not that big,” Mark said. Working in Martinez’s favor is the fact that she’s from New Mexico. “The Republicans have to start taking back some of the states they used to win,” Mark said, citing New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Nevada as examples. Does her record of accomplishment — or lack of it, as her

critics among state Democrats insist — really matter on the national level? Not really, Mark said. Those at the national level don’t really care about “the intricacies of state government,” he said.

The Hispanic vote When President Barack Obama took more than 70 percent of the Hispanic vote against Mitt Romney last year, national observers — including many Republicans — concluded the GOP has to make a serious effort to reach out to Latino voters. A report by the Republican National Committee in March said the party in recent years included a section on what the GOP needs to do to rebuild its relationships with Hispanics, which have been damaged in recent years by harsh anti-immigration rhetoric by some party leaders. “It is imperative that the [Republican National Committee] changes how it engages with Hispanic communities to welcome in new members of our Party,” the report said. One recommendation was that the committee “must improve on promoting Hispanic staff and candidates within the Party. The GOP has substantial Hispanic elected officials at all levels, and we need to ensure they are being used as surrogates both in their communities and with the national media.” Martinez has been involved with this effort by the national GOP, co-chairing the party’s Future Majority Project, which was set up to attract minority candidates. Would she seriously boost the Republicans’ esteem among Hispanic voters? In New Mexico, Martinez has made no friends with pro-immigration groups because of her annual effort to repeal a law that allows the state to issue driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants. However, in the national

could be a problem with some GOP activists. “Whether the GOP base will accept her is another question,” he said. “If the conservatives are very happy with the presidential pick, then probably they’ll accept his VP choice. But if, say, Christie is the nominee, hard-core conservatives would raise a stink about ‘too moderate’ a ticket. Frankly, it all depends on how much the party wants to win in 2016.” But Mark said this could work for Martinez. “That’s actually a winning approach,” he said. “The problems that Republicans have is not with their beliefs [about abortion, etc.] but their tone. It’s strident folks saying crazy things that get them in trouble.” Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@sfnewmexican.com. Read his political blog at roundhouseroundup.com.

Politics color Medicaid decisions

Thousands of healthcare.gov sign-ups didn’t make it to insurers

Democratic governors push for expansion, while most GOP leaders block effort

WASHINGTON — Enrollment records for close to 15,000 healthcare.gov shoppers were not initially transmitted to the insurance plans they selected, according to a preliminary federal estimate released Saturday. While these cases pose a challenge for the Obama administration, officials say they believe the situation is improving. Since early December, fewer than 1 percent of healthcare.gov enrollments did not make their way to health insurance plans. The preliminary estimate that fewer than 15,000 enrollments failed to reach carriers comes from a recently completed federal analysis that compared the number of shoppers who clicked “enroll” with the number of digital files healthcare.gov fired off to

By Charles Babington The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Partisan politics are coloring governors’ decisions about whether to expand Medicaid in their states, affecting billions of dollars and thousands of low-income people. The question of whether they receive Medicaid coverage may have little to do with need, and much to do with the way their states vote in governors’ races, including primaries. Every Democratic governor has called for accepting largerthan-usual federal subsidies to expand Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor. The only three who failed were blocked by Republican state legislators. Most of the 30 Republican governors have turned down Medicaid expansion, and the federal dollars that would come with it. Some who face potential tea party challengers in next year’s GOP primaries have rejected advice to broaden the program, which they call a costly federal overreach. But a few Republican governors dismiss those arguments. They have accepted billions in federal money to cover more people with Medicaid. It would shortchange their constituents to do otherwise, they say, noting that workers everywhere pay the federal taxes now up for redistribution. Of the eight Republican governors who will expand Medicaid, six are from states carried by President Barack Obama. One is New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez. “My job is not to play party politics, but to implement this law in a way that best serves New Mexico,” Martinez told state legislators. In a similar vein, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval told a newspaper editorial board, “I couldn’t sit here and defend to any of you $16 million that just went away because of ‘principle.’ ” At least 20 Republican governors have turned down the federal money and declined to expand Medicaid, although a few are considering other options. Many say government is too big already, and they suggest Congress will break the promise to keep paying a huge share of the cost. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says his state’s residents should pass up federal aid even if other states take it. “Our refusal to

Senior U.N. chief visits Syria amid blizzard

Egypt constitution vote set for Jan. CAIRO — Egyptians will vote next month on a rewritten constitution, interim President Adly Mansour announced Saturday, opening what could be a contentious new political chapter for the country. The referendum, to be held over two days beginning Jan. 14, is described by the interim government as a crucial step to restoring democracy in Egypt.

DAMASCUS, Syria — The United Nations’ humanitarian chief briefly visited Syria Saturday, where she discussed with officials ways of improving winter conditions for millions of people displaced by the country’s civil war as a harsh snowstorm struck the region. Valerie Amos said her trip to Syria from Lebanon was delayed because of the storm, which has worsened the misery of Syrian refugees, many of whom are living in tents without heating. “I have also just been in Lebanon and was able there to talk to the [U.N.] team about the programs we have been putting in place to help people through the winter,” Amos said in brief remarks in the Syrian capital. “Winter is extremely harsh as you can see. I was delayed on my own trip over here.” Amos met with Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, his deputy Faysal Mikdad and Minister of Social Affairs Kinda Shammat before she headed back to Lebanon in the early afternoon. Shammat said following her meeting with Amos that the two sides have agreed on more cooperation with “international organizations to bring in all aids to all Syrian areas and to those who deserve those aids.” She did not elaborate. The storm, which began on Wednesday, stuck large parts of Syria as well as Lebanon and Jordan, where hundreds of thousands of Syrians have fled since the country’s crisis began in March 2011. The civil war has left more than 120,000 people dead. By Saturday afternoon, the weather improved, and the skies became clear as the storm, dubbed Alexa, was reaching its end. Despite the clear skies however, temperatures remained near freezing forcing many Syrian refugees in Lebanon to stay in their tents. In the border Lebanese town of Arsal, which is home to more than 40,000 Syrian refugees, activists distributed dozens of diesel heaters. But there were not enough for everyone. Baseem al-Atrash, who heads the Jusour al-Nour or Bridges of Hope organization, said some refugees in tents in the town were still without heaters. He added that they were distributing 20 liters of diesel for every family.

Obama administration stalled policies before 2012 election Officials say White House sought to avoid controversies By Juliet Eilperin The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The White House systematically delayed enacting a series of rules on the environment, worker safety and health care to prevent them from becoming points of contention before the 2012 election, according to documents and interviews with current and former administration officials. Some agency officials were instructed to hold off submitting proposals to the White House for up to a year to ensure that they would not be issued before voters went to the polls, the current and former officials said. The delays meant that rules were postponed or never issued. The stalled regulations included crucial elements of the Affordable Care Act, what bodies of water deserved federal protection, pollution controls for industrial boilers and limits on dangerous silica exposure in the workplace. The Obama administration has repeatedly said that any delays until after the election were coincidental and that such decisions were made without regard to politics. But seven current and former administration officials told The Washington Post that the motives behind many of the delays were clearly political, as Obama’s top aides focused on avoiding controversy before his re-election. The number and scope of delays under Obama went well beyond those of his predecessors, who helped shape rules but did not have the same formalized controls, said current and former officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic. Those findings are bolstered by a new report from the Administrative Conference of the United States, an independent agency that advises the federal government on regulatory issues. The report is based on anonymous interviews with more than a dozen senior agency officials who worked with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which oversees the implementation of federal rules. The report said internal reviews of proposed regulatory changes “took longer in 2011 and 2012 because of concerns about the agencies issuing costly or controversial rules prior to the November 2012 election.” Emily Cain, spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget, said in a statement that the administration’s “approach to regulatory review is consistent with long-standing precedent across previous administrations and fully adheres” to federal rules.

Proposed federal rules face longer review wait times, lower chance of being enacted Fewer reviews have been completed recently, but the average completion time has increased. As of June 30:

Administration officials noted that they issued a number of controversial rules during Obama’s first term, including limits on mercury emissions for power plants and Medicaid eligibility criteria under the Affordable Care Act. “OMB works as expeditiously as possible to review rules, but when it comes to complex rules with significant potential impact, we take the time needed to get them right,” Cain said. But Ronald White, who directs regulatory policy at the advocacy group Center for Effective Government, said the “overt manipulation of the regulatory review process by a small White House office” raises questions about how the government writes regulations. He said the amount of time it took the White House to review proposed rules was “particularly egregious over the past two years.” Previous White House operations have weighed in on major rules before they were officially submitted for review. But Jeffrey Holmstead, who headed the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation in the George W. Bush administration, said the effort was not as extensive as the Obama administration’s approach. “There was no formalized process by which you had to get permission to send them over,” Holmstead said, referring to rules being submitted to the White House. The recent decision to bring on Democratic strategist John Podesta as a senior White House adviser is likely to accelerate the number of new rules and executive orders, given Podesta’s long-standing support for using executive action to achieve the president’s goals despite congressional opposition. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Federal Rights and Agency Action, said he’s con-

cerned about the real-world impact of the postponements in the first term. “Legal protection delayed is protection denied,” Blumenthal said. “I’ve spoken to officials at the top rungs of the White House power structure and at OIRA and we’re going to hold their feet to the fire, and we’re going to make sure they’re held accountable in a series of hearings.” The officials interviewed for the ACUS report, whose names were withheld from publication by the study authors, said that starting in 2012 they had to meet with an OIRA desk officer before submitting each significant rule for formal review. They called the sessions “Mother-may-I” meetings, according to the study. The accounts were echoed by four Obama administration political appointees and three career officials interviewed by the Post. At the Environmental Protection Agency, for example, a former official said that only two managers had the authority to request a major rule in 2012: then-administrator Lisa Jackson and deputy administrator Bob Perciasepe. Perciasepe and OIRA’s director at the time, Cass Sunstein, would have “weekly and sometimes semi-weekly discussions” to discuss rules that affected the economy, one said, because they had political consequences, the person said. “As we entered the run-up to the election, the word went out the White House was not anxious to review new rules,” the former official said. Sunstein, who has returned to his post as a Harvard Law School professor, declined to comment. Several significant EPA proposals were withheld as a result of those meetings, officials said, including a proposal requiring cleaner gasoline and lowerpollution vehicles that had won the support of automakers but angered the oil industry.

The Martinez administration has also been sued by The Santa Fe Reporter over open records disputes and the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government and New Mexico In Depth regarding an audit at the heart of the months-long debate over 15 behavioral health care providers getting their Medicaid funding cut off. A number of Democrats in the Legislature have hammered the Martinez administration over these flaps, especially regarding emails. But when it came time for Roundhouse members to practice what they preached, transparency was dumped off at the bus station. Last March, Democrats and Republicans joined hands, sang “Kumbaya” and carved out a public records exemption for their own bad selves. They claimed their emails to constituents were not public records, even if the correspondence was done on their state email — not private — addresses. Citing Article IV, Section 13 of the

New Mexico Constitution, which reads, in part, that legislators “shall not be questioned in any other place for any speech,” the Roundhousers seized on a questionable loophole, said it only applied to their branch of state government and overwhelmingly passed the bill. “As a citizen legislator, it’s up to me to decide if it’s a public record or not,” Rep. Eliseo Lee Alcon, D-Milan, said during the debate. “I don’t care what they do … I think it’s up to me to decide if you can have my record.” Alcon to transparency: Drop dead. By the way, the House passed its version of the bill during “Sunshine Week,” a nationwide initiative focused on the importance of access to public information. Finally, let’s not forget that last month, the head of the state lottery was fired with no reason given. The lottery might handle millions in public money, but the chairman of the lottery board told me, “It’s a personnel item, period.” I guess in New Mexico, transparency has a slogan: It’s not for me, but it looks great on you.

MY VIEW: BILL RICHARDSON AND ERIC P. SERNA

Can immigration save GOP? F

or Democrats, it has been interesting to watch members of the GOP battle — not us — but each other as they try to save their Republican brand. In a giving spirit of the season, we offer a couple of observations to our friends across the aisle. For the past six years, Republicans have been the party of “No!” to any constructive proposal to fix our recovering economy and assist our ailing families. The working poor, hungry children, elders and a stillrecovering business sector all need our help. We have had a health care system that is the leading cause of family bankruptcies. The continual attempts to deny health care to people with the latest de jour complaint is hardly constructive. The Republican shutdown of the government because it failed to deny health care to millions of people in need will be remembered by voters. There is a growing perception that Republicans are out of touch with the American mainstream. They need a real win somewhere. Passing an immigration bill could finally put that win in the Republican column. The Senate has already passed an immigration bill and is awaiting the Republican-controlled House to act. The Senate bill, such as it is, does show that Democrats and Republicans can get things done together. Hundreds of more pragmatic Republicans, organizations, religious leaders and business — even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — are now aggressively pushing their party to pass an immigration bill. Even conservative Republican leaders are trying to get this social, economic and political imperative done. To do this, they still need to quell

some of their more strident colleagues. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, an immigrant himself, is a key travieso (troublemaker) in their midst. Cruz led the government shutdown debacle and has also been an ardent opponent of immigration reform. Containing him and his camp remains the party’s challenge. And although the immigration bill on the table today can hardly be considered comprehensive, it could take 11 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows of society and help replenish the pool of cheap labor.

And wouldn’t it be ironic if Latinos end up saving the Republican Party on this issue? Passing an immigration bill that includes a path to citizenship could help Republicans reform their image of being anti-Latino. Remember, presidential candidate George W. Bush captured nearly 44 percent of the Latino vote in 2004. Getting 44 percent today would be a “dream act” for them. With midterm elections right around the corner, passing an immigration bill could entice Latino voters to the GOP side. Whatever form it takes, the final immigration reform bill would not

be the proudest moment in our relationship with Mexico, one of our most important world trade partners. The litany of extreme measures in the Senate bill call for spending additional billions for building a larger version of the Berlin Wall, doubling the number of border cops so that they could be stationed within shouting distance of each other across our southern border. Drones, helicopters and ships all would be employed to capture people who commit a misdemeanor

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

U.S. should take stand on right side of history

or many years, our government opposed Nelson Mandela’s struggle against apartheid, which nonetheless resulted in a triumph for human rights. Today, our government is again supporting an apartheid regime. I recently returned from 18 days in Palestine and have seen for myself the oppression of both the Palestinian inhabitants of the West Bank and the Bedouins — Israeli citizens — within the borders of Israel itself. Right now the situation of the Bedouins is particularly critical. The Knesset has approved The Prawer Plan to forcibly remove all non-Jews from the Negev desert. If implemented, this will result in the destruction of 35 Bedouin villages housing more than 70,000 human beings. This rivals in cruelty any of the policies of the

South African apartheid regime. In failing to hold its Israeli ally accountable, our government is, yet again, standing on the wrong side of history. Kenneth E. Mayers

Stay transparent Santa Fe voters want a public finance system that keeps outside money out. So it’s disturbing to see politicians undermine the new system, and that’s exactly what Patti Bushee is doing in her campaign for mayor. While she voted for public financing, we now know she secretly solicited private financing. She signed an oath swearing she didn’t solicit contributions over $100 and only

made expenditures out of her seed money account. We now know she broke both those rules. She claims the Ethics and Campaign Review Board hearings are all about politics. But what she calls politics, Santa Fe voters call transparency and oversight to ensure politicians are held accountable for their actions. Lonnie Zamora

No easy explanation Design safety in automobiles certainly has made a difference in protecting drivers and occupants in crashes. However, The New Mexican sure misses the mark by just focusing on a singular issue in a multifaceted problem (Our View, “Regulations matter: Just look at Mexico,” Dec. 9).

What you fail to recognize or discuss is the huge impact roadway design, maintenance, public education and enforcement has played in bringing down fatality statistics in the United States and abroad. The U.S. has spent countless billions on infrastructure, education and enforcement, obviously recognizing it’s not all just about the cars. Have you ever driven in Mexico? Arguably the worst roads in our hemisphere, and on most of my trips, not a patrol officer in sight for hundreds of miles, let alone seeing one with a bad driver pulled over on the side of the road. It sure is easy to blame those evil corporations and praise regulation. Come on New Mexican, do your homework!

Invasion of ‘social welfare’ groups T

he murky world of “social welfare” organizations with a political bent was in the news here last week. First, State Democratic Party Chairman Sam Bregman filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service against an entity known as New Mexico Competes, claiming it was illegally coordinating with Republican Gov. Susana Martinez. New Mexico Competes, run by Sara Lister, a GOP activist and former Workforce Solutions official with the Martinez administration, has run radio ads praising Martinez’s handling of the behavioral health shake-up and sent mailers blasting Albuquerque Public Schools SuperintenSteve Terrell dent Winston Brooks Roundhouse for opposing some of Roundup Martinez’s education proposals. Martinez’s political consultant Jay McCleskey denied any coordination between the governor’s campaign — with which he’s very involved — and New Mexico Competes and indeed these type of complaints to federal agencies by political parties typically don’t get very far. I’m predicting we’ll be seeing more of New Mexico Competes before the next election, just like we’ll be seeing more of ProgressNow New Mexico, a “nonprofit, nonpartisan, grass-roots communications and advocacy organization working to unite, empower and enhance the progressive voice in the Land of Enchantment.” And we’ll probably hear from a Hobbsbased group called GOAL Advocacy, a conservative nonprofit group dedicated to promoting “policies and common-sense solutions that create jobs and strengthen our economy and to educate Americans on the positive impacts the oil, gas and agricultural industries have on our economy.” GOAL is headed by Jason Heffley, a former staffer of U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce. Listed as a contact on the GOAL website is Andrea Goff, who used to work for Martinez’s campaign and PAC. Goff was quoted in the infamous recent National Journal article about McCleskey, saying the governor had told her McCleskey was launching New Mexico Competes. Farewell Prosperity: But it looks as though we won’t be seeing much of an apparently stillborn “social welfare” group called New Mexico Prosperity, which was headed by Jon Lipshutz, a veteran Democratic campaign operative who has worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign and is now managing State Sen. Howie Morales’ gubernatorial campaign, I wrote about Prosperity last April. As first revealed by The Santa Fe Reporter, which received a leaked 12-page document, the goals, according to the report, were taking back the Governor’s Office, “protecting” potentially vulnerable incumbent Democratic legislators, candidate recruitment, “rapid response” efforts, polling, focus group, direct mail, etc. One section of the document said, “We will also coordinate with partner organizations as well as the [New Mexico Democratic Party] to form a formal [candidate] recruitment committee.” “New Mexico Prosperity will be structured as a 501(c)4 entity,” the document said, referring to the IRS designation for these “social welfare” groups. “This allows us to accept unlimited contributions with limited reporting obligations. … Once each election cycle formally begins, we will form a ‘Super PAC’ that will be used for all electoral activities. We will still not be limited by contribution limits, but at that time, we will need to disclose all contributions received to the New Mexico Secretary of State.” Lipshutz insisted last spring that the nonprofit’s mission had changed sometime between that document was written (sometime after the November election) and in mid-February, when the group registered with the Public Regulation Commission) and the document we had seen was just preliminary. That point is moot. Lipshutz told me me that he left to run the Morales campaign. He said Prosperity’s board members told him they voted to shut down the whole effort, though it’s listed as “active and in good standing until 5/15/2015” on the secretary of state’s list of corporations. Lipshutz said that despite the initial press coverage, Prosperity never really got off the ground: “We didn’t really do anything.” Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@ sfnewmexican.com.

Changing of the guard in Taos

llow a tear or two for the memory of the mom-andpop ski area, founded by bigger-than-life personalities and kept alive through hard work and grit. In Taos, that personality belonged to Ernie Blake — his dream was to create a world-class resort in the southern Rockies. With his wife, Rhoda, he started from the back of a camper in the mid-1950s. From there, the Blakes successfully transformed an old mining town into a destination for the best skiers from across the world. After his death in 1989, Taos Ski Valley kept going, managed by his capable children and grandchildren, as a refuge for skiers only. Not until 2008 were snowboarders allowed to swoop down the slopes at one of the last skis-only resorts in the country. That opening of the mountain to snowboarders, perhaps, was a foreshadowing of the big news from last week. Change was coming, and nothing could be bigger than a Taos Ski Valley without the Blakes in charge. That’s what is happening, though. The Blake family is selling the resort, deciding after more than 50 years that it will take deep pockets to make the improvements the ski valley needs to thrive in the 21st century. Quietly, the family began to talk about selling. And what a buyer Mickey Blake found. In Louis Bacon, the billionaire conservationist, the Blakes have located an owner who combines the deepest pockets imaginable with a love for the land. Bacon, thankfully, also recognizes that Taos is a special place — it might get an upgraded ski lift, but it will not become a new Aspen. Bacon said he realizes that running a ski area “will be a balancing act” to safeguard “the special things” and not over-commercialize the area. He wants Blake to hang around as a member of the senior management team and to help navigate local sympathies. (If he wants to win local fans, Bacon might consider instituting signficant discounts for locals. It would be wonderful if more people could afford to ski and snowboard at the resort in their backyard.) The new owner is an intensely private man. Like so many wealthy people before him, Bacon has a love for the West. With the purchase of the Trinchera Ranch in southern Colorado from the Forbes family, Bacon fought tooth and nail to stop a power line through pristine wilderness. He won that battle. Today, a conservation easement to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service means the wilderness will remain protected. What’s more, Bacon and former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar just announced the formation of a conservation super PAC last week. A ski valley, of course, is not wilderness. Its very presence in what once was untouched land uproots trees and uses water and otherwise alters the natural landscape. Ski valleys, though, can be generous community partners, and Taos Ski Valley has been an important job creator for decades. Bacon, in an interview, said he hopes to continue to make the ski valley an economic driver for the region. That’s welcome news, as is the attitude expressed by Bacon’s representative. Peter Talty met with ski valley employees last week and praised the Blakes’ legacy. It’s a new era, indeed, and not just for Taos Ski Valley. The changing of the guard at Taos completes the transfer of all New Mexico downhill ski areas from original founding families to new owners. Bacon, though, will be a different breed of owner — his chief concerns are elsewhere, obviously, because of his business interests. Those interests help steer his political leanings as well. Bacon was one of the top donors to the Republican cause in the 2012 presidential campaign. (Wonder if Jay McCleskey, Gov. Susana Martinez’s operative, has calls in to the new owner yet?) In bluer-than-blue Democratic Taos, Bacon definitely brings a different point of view despite his conservationist views. He and Taos probably will need a settling-in period. To the Blake family, we offer a salute for the many years they spent building up the inimitable Taos Ski Valley. Its mix of steep slopes, expansive mountain terrain and cozy ski town — on top of the culture and history of the town itself — is unique. Louis Bacon recognized that, and improbably, ended up owning a ski resort. To the new owner, welcome to New Mexico. For an intensely private person, becoming the owner of a beloved institution — even with assistants to run the place — will be a new experience. But wouldn’t it be great to see Louis Bacon on the slopes, in town and enjoying life in one of the best small towns in the world? Taos could be both an investment and a getaway. Imagine him stopping by the Wal-Mart or picking up a chicharrón burrito (red, of course) at Mante’s Chow Cart or taking in the foot races at San Geronimo Day come September. He might be a huge investor in New York and London, but once in Taos, he’ll be the guy who bought the ski valley. A member of the community, one that will welcome him with open arms should he want to join in.

COMMENTARY: HARRY J. HOLZER

Wage hike? Beware side effects T hree jurisdictions in the Washington metro area — the District of Columbia, and Maryland’s Montgomery County and Prince George’s County — have voted recently to raise their minimum wages to $11.50 over a three-year period. At least 20 states and some major localities have already increased their minimum wages above the federal level of $7.25. A handful of states have chosen to index their statutory minimum wages to measures of inflation over time. States and localities are motivated, at least in part, by federal gridlock: President Barack Obama proposed increasing the minimum wage this year, but Washington’s paralysis has eliminated the prospect of a reasonable federal increase anytime soon. Minimum-wage increases seem to combat the disturbingly high earnings inequality that has arisen in recent decades. They seem to help lowwage workers in particular. But these efforts, while often popular, can backfire. As a labor economist, I generally support modest and periodic increases in the federal minimum wage, along with some state increases above that level. The biggest concern among economists is that imposing pay increases on employers will reduce the hiring of low-wage workers and raise unemployment. But in four decades of research by economists, this appears to be a small or nonexistent effect. And, under some circumstances, indexing the statutory minimum to the rate of inflation is not a bad idea. Some of the recent actions to raise wages, however, give cause for concern. Many proposed increases are very large and very local. For instance, the increases in the Washington region will raise the minimum wage more than 50 percent in

the two Maryland counties and nearly 40 percent in the District of Columbia, even after adjusting for inflation. This comes on top of the sizable federal increases — about 35 percent after inflation — that occurred between 2007 and 2009. Increases this large could generate larger employment losses than in the past as employers seek to minimize payroll costs. And the smaller the geographic area in which such increases occur, the greater the risk that employment growth will shift across a municipal or state border as employers relocate to areas with lower minimum wages. It’s noteworthy that the previous state and federal increases on which most research is based generally do not share these characteristics, so that body of research is a less useful guide to the changes in employment that may soon occur. There are a few other reasons to be cautious about these increases. Most employees working at or near the minimum wage are not the heads of poor households. They are typically either young (up to about 25) or are secondearners, in which case their households do not rely exclusively on them for income. Although Americans might be happy to see all of these workers get a raise, we should perhaps be concerned that any loss of employment might be most concentrated among the small fraction of these workers who are poor adults and who most need the jobs, as some research suggests. Indexing increases in the minimum wage to a measure of price inflation makes sense in some cases. But indexing should begin closer to the lower end of the ranges recently set. One reason employers might not reduce hiring in response to wage increases is that, tra-

ditionally, these increases tend to erode over time with inflation. If it is costly to change production methods in ways that reduce employment, many employers might judge that it is not worth doing so, since the increased wages would be normalized with time anyway. But indexing might change those calculations, because the newly implemented increases would not erode over time. And, since little indexing has been done in this country, there is little research to explain how employers would respond to minimumwage increases in that context. The biggest reason to be cautious in raising minimum wages is the weak job market. Employment opportunities nationwide continue to be limited. In a strong or rapidly improving job market — such as that of 1996-98, when a federal minimum increase took effect — there is little reason to worry about such increases reducing employment levels. But the job market’s recovery from the recession has been agonizingly slow, and two of the groups whose wages stand to be increased — the young and least-educated — already have the hardest time finding work. Many are experiencing long-term unemployment from which it is increasingly difficult to escape. As localities and states consider appropriate minimum-wage increases and where to apply them, they should try to avoid increases that might make it even harder for the youngest or least-educated among us to find work.

COMMENTARY: TRUDY RUBIN

Lack of leadership stunts Mideast CAIRO — There is something sadly appropriate about arriving in the Mideast on the weekend when the world is mourning Nelson Mandela. Mandela was a visionary who managed to reconcile a long-repressed black majority with the white minority that had ruled them. His name became synonymous with forgiveness, in this case of the new black rulers toward fearful whites. The absence of such visionary leaders is the reason the Arab Spring has turned out so badly. In Egypt, former President Mohammed Morsi won a historic election but was unable to transcend his roots in the secretive Muslim Brotherhood, which terrified more moderate Muslims and Christians. This gave the Egyptian army the opening to remove him. In Syria, frightened Alawites (a sect of Shiite Muslims) and Christians cling to the dictator Bashar Assad because they fear a Sunni Muslim victory will drive them out. No Sunni Mandela exists to calm their fears. Indeed, there is a dearth of Mideast leaders who can or even want to convince other tribes, sects, and clans that they won’t be destroyed if they lose an election, let alone a civil war. So Mideast countries that recently rejoiced in new freedoms have grown weary of democracy and are now pedaling backward toward autocracy — or chaos. The new Mideast narrative focuses not on democracy but on how to control jihadi groups, including al-Qaida, that are flourishing in fractured states such as Libya, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. Many in the Mideast now claim (as they did before the 2011 revolutions) that most

Arab states have only two dismal alternatives to choose from: rule by strongmen or by Islamic extremists. As I travel to Cairo and then to the Turkish-Syrian border, I will be asking Egyptian and Syrian activists whether there is a way out of this trap. In Egypt, at least, there is some possibility of returning toward democracy. A new constitution has just been drafted, and new elections will be held in the coming months. But the Egyptian military is clearly the most powerful actor in the country, and it may wind up controlling the elections through a front candidate or a long-term lock on the Defense Ministry, which is currently headed by the charismatic army commander Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. A repressive law has been passed against demonstrations, no matter who conducts them. Bloggers, satirists, and young female demonstrators are being jailed. Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood has been banned and its leaders jailed, along with thousands of followers on what often seem to be specious charges. Other Islamist groups remain politically active, but it’s unclear whether they can still be integrated into a democratic Egypt. If that isn’t possible, some Islamists who opted for the ballot could return to violence. I will be talking with youth activists, women, former members of Parliament, generals, and Islamists about Egypt’s future, and whether it’s still possible to design an inclusive system. Since Egypt is a bellwether for the region, what happens there counts. The Syrian situation cries out even

more desperately for a Mandela. Assad deliberately targeted secular and moderate Muslim opposition groups, while allowing radical Islamists to operate freely. He has achieved his goal: The moderates, receiving scant military aid from the West, have been decimated, while jihadis flourish. The Syrian dictator tells fearful members of his minority Alawite sect that his demise would lead to their extinction. He tells Christians the same. As for Western governments, he says they need him to combat al-Qaida. Assad is the anti-Mandela: By cultivating fear and hatred, he has splintered his nation, but he has been able to hold on to power. U.N.-sponsored peace talks on Syria are supposed to be held next month in Geneva, but it’s hard to see how they will amount to anything. Assad’s backers, Iran and Russia, show little sign of abandoning their proxy. At best, they may press him to let in more humanitarian aid. President Barack Obama remains uninterested in arming moderate rebels, and it may be too late anyway. I will be speaking with Syrian civil and military activists on the Turkish border to see whether they believe there is still a chance to hold Syria together. Were there an opposition leader with Mandela’s charisma, it might be possible to rally Syrians who want neither a dictator nor al-Qaida. Sadly, there is none.

Tall and handsome with snow white hair, and a dazzling smile, he was interested in everything and inclusive of everyone during his two visits at Blair House.

Save the flying farolitos! I

fail to see why my flying farolitos are being described as some unmanageable danger. When I first applied for a permit for Christmas Eve (in the 1990s, I think it was), a previous fire marshal basically scoffed and almost laughed when he saw the contraption of less than an ounce of paper, 30-some tiny birthday candles and two thin pieces of Styrofoam. He watched it fly up into the sky and self-destruct at a height of more than 700 feet; the burn was over in 15 seconds and no burning matter made it down past 500 feet of altitude. “There is next to no combustible matter here,” he said, “as long as there is snow on the ground, and low wind conditions, we’ll let you do it.” Henceforth, I could do this legally, launching anywhere between 24 to 31 flying farolitos each Christmas Eve, so long as there were favorable conditions. Many years, and many hundreds of launches later, I look back and wonder why this is now considered a dangerous activity. Flying farolitos have never hurt anybody or even caused damage to property. The only times there was ever a smidgen of fire on the ground is when a launch failed, in which case we stomped out what little flame that there was. I never needed the fire extinguisher which — by stipulation of the old fire marshal — I was required to have on location. I never had to contact the fire truck, which is conveniently parked in the same parking lot. When launched successfully, they go up, and they do not come down again. So it is sad to think it’s over, but pleas to city officials for a little help, like maybe finding insurance for this event, were ignored. Phone calls to a city councilor were not returned. It’s been the city indifferent for the flying farolitos. Now, I cannot claim that there could never be a set of circumstances in which some minor property damage might occur. There is always risk. Leaving one’s house in the morning could lead to one’s death, driving a car might lead to an accident. Fires caused by Christmas trees reliably kill scores of people each year. Maybe we should outlaw Christmas trees? That would make sense, from a firefighter’s point of view. If you are one of the people who have enjoyed my flying farolitos in the past — let the City Council know. Compared to the fireworks accompanying Fourth of July or New Year’s Eve, this is a very safe event. It also compares quite favorably to Zozobra in the categories of shootings, stabbings, drunken disorderly behavior and property crimes — just check the statistics. Yet all the above mentioned activities are deemed manageable risks by the city — just not a handful of flying farolitos. Bottom line is, if the city wants this to continue, I will do it. If not, it will be another beautiful, original budding tradition slain by a lack of vision. Arvo Thomson launches flying farolitos every Christmas Eve, weather and city officials permitting.

and to receive an honorary degree at Harvard University. The ceremony was dedicated solely to him, only the third person in the university’s history to be so honored; the other two were George Washington and Winston Churchill. This second Mandela visit was shortly after President Bill Clinton went public with his intern liaison. It was amid Congress’ glee at receiving and releasing on the Internet Kenneth Starr’s salacious report. Mr. Clinton, in his book, My Life, talked about his earlier visit in South Africa when he accompanied Mr. Mandela to see his prison cell on Robben Island. Mr. Clinton had asked him if he really hated those who imprisoned him, and Mr. Mandela had replied: “Of course I did, for many years. They took the best years of my life. They abused me physically and mentally. I didn’t get to see my children grow up. I hated them. Then one day … I realized that they had already taken everything from me except my mind and my heart. Those they could

not take without my permission. I decided not to give them away. Then he looked at me, smiled, and said, ‘and neither should you.’ ” The warmth and affection shown President Clinton by Mr. Mandela seemed genuine and true. After the visit they bid each other farewell just outside Blair House, standing on the curb facing each other, their arms entwined, Mandela talking and Clinton listening, as I believe he often had to the elder statesman who had taken such a liking to him. It was an extraordinary picture. My own and most personal moment with this remarkable man came just before he departed his first visit. At the front door, he took my hands in his, held them tightly, looked into my eyes and exclaimed: “Such a beautiful house. You are the House!” Benedicte Valentiner is the author of Bedtime and Other Stories from The President’s Guest House. She lives in Santa Fe.

Don’t let a solid rail line go to waste

here has been much discussion lately about the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line between Albuquerque and Colorado. At one point New Mexico bought it, then gave it back. It seems nobody wants to pay for the maintenance required to keep the line open. There has been speculation that it might just be abandoned. Salvagers would come in and harvest the rails, spikes and ties, and that would be it. The line would be gone forever. I live close to the rail line and enjoy the daily passing of Amtrak. The freight and coal trains stopped running when New Mexico purchased the line. They have not started running since the state gave it back. I really miss them. I think it would be a crime to abandon a perfectly good rail line because nobody can agree on how to maintain it. That would be like shutting down the Interstate Highway System because nobody can agree on who should pay to patch the potholes. I keep hoping that billionaire Warren Buffett, who purchased the BNSF, might decide to pump a few million into this stretch of line, just to help everyone out. Even though Buffett is giving away billions of dollars, this does not seem to be the sort of charity he supports. To him, this is business, not charity. Though I pray, with all my heart and soul, that we will

not be so stupid as to throw away a perfectly good rail line, I think we should start thinking about what Mike Plantz we might do if the rail line is lost. Should the “powers that be” decide that the line is not worth saving, I think it should be turned into a bicycle trail. That’s right, a bicycle trail. Rail lines follow relatively level routes, for obvious reasons. This particular route runs through some of the most beautiful, unspoiled country in America. Along this route are many small communities that used to serve the railroad but began to fade as America moved to highway travel. I envision these small communities being revitalized by international bicycle tourism. People would come from around the world to make this bicycle trek. It would be an incredible tourism boon for the entire state. Colorado would benefit as well, of course. Go to Google Earth and look at that route. What a beautiful bicycle trail it would make. And think how it would benefit all those small New Mexico communities along the route. Mike Plantz is a printer retired from New Mexico Highlands University and lives in San José, N.M.

States need to save the train by the trail

here is a threat that unless the states of Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico share funding to repair the rails, the route of the Southwest Chief Amtrak train will be rerouted south, eliminating passenger access for towns between Newton, Kan., and Albuquerque. Whoa, New Mexico! Lamy is the gateway to Santa Fe, and Raton is the Boys and Girl Scouts’ access to the National Scout Camp at Philmont, plus the terminal for the Amtrak bus connecting passengers to Denver and the California Zephyr. The route of the Southwest Chief has the most scenic part of the Chicago/Los Angeles trip. Have you seen the narrow Apache Canyon, the flag and monument for the Civil War Battlefield of Glorieta Pass? Have you seen the views and wildlife at Raton Pass, the highest point on the entire route, or the herds of antelope near Wagon Mound and the old Castañeda Harvey House at Las Vegas, N.M.? And perhaps most importantly, the present train route parallels the Santa Fe Trail, the historic covered wagon route that for almost 60 years was a road of commerce linking

The route of the Southwest Chief has the most scenic part of the Chicago/Los Angeles trip. the Midwest to the foreign territory of Mexico. During summer weekends, volunteers from the National Park Service board at La Junta, Colo., and give a narrative from the observation car of the Chief, explaining trail sites along the way as far as Albuquerque. Have you seen the sunset from the dining car while enjoying a steak and wine dinner? We can’t afford to lose this necessary, beautiful and historic rail line. We could start with bake sales, but funding depends on action from the state and Congress. Contact them ASAP and forward this news to anyone whom we need to inform.

MY VIEW: RUTH KINSELLA

Give all the chance at life A

bortion is back in the news again. Indeed it is seldom on the back burner. Although it has been legal since 1973, 44 percent of those participating voted recently in Albuquerque to ban killing a live fetus 20 weeks and older. Forty-four percent of the population is not a small minority, and many in this group are not right-wing religious fanatics, as the pro-abortion rights lobby often claims. I suspect that they, like me, simply abhor the idea of a woman killing her own progeny. This act seems even worse when the fetus has developed enough to be considered almost viable (at 20 weeks) or actually viable (over 21 weeks). The often-repeated argument that a woman has the right to choose what to do with her own body would be acceptable to most of us if the life or death of another human being did not depend on that choice. (Even if one does not accept that the fetus is a person until born, it is difficult to deny that the fetus is a living being. Of course, it is

human.) A recent TV advertisement in support of abortion featured a woman explaining why she aborted her “very sick” baby. I cannot imagine that the violent procedure used to perform a late-term abortion (look it up) could possibly be kinder to a terminally ill baby than a gentle death in its mother’s arms after birth. The majority of these abortions are done for matters of social or economic convenience or emotional ease. In this day and age, most of us are acutely aware of human rights issues. This now includes the right to die with dignity when the time comes for that transition. So on behalf of the unborn of any age, I would like to propose that we also consider the importance of another human right and that is the right to be born. Everyone conceived should at least be given an opportunity to experience life. You don’t have to be religious to see the fairness in that.

MY VIEW: MICHAEL S. SANCHEZ

Agency needs to clean its own house first

arlier this summer, 12 Democratic state senators requested an attorney general opinion amid concerns that Gov. Susana Martinez’s executive order to withhold capital outlay funds from projects appropriated by the Legislature violated the separation of powers. It is curious that Gov. Martinez approved these same projects in the capital outlay bill just a few weeks before she issued the executive order. Her rationale must be, “I supported them before I opposed them.” Putting aside the constitutional arguments — the AG’s opinion called her action a violation of separation of powers — supporters of Martinez’s action say it is a good policy to withhold “additional taxpayer money from government entities that haven’t kept up with statutorily required audits of the dollars they have already received.” (It should be noted that the dollars being withheld come from the sale of bonds paid by oil and gas revenue.) Dr. Tom Clifford, secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration has indicated the administration will continue to implement the executive order, ostensibly to support good policy. Finance and Administration, according to its website, is the state agency “committed to sound fiscal management and ensuring accountability in the use of taxpayer dollars.” It is largely responsible for implementing the executive order. Unfortunately, the implementation does not include uniform or consistent application of its ad hoc rules, thereby making it difficult for many local government entities to comply with the exec-

utive order. The implementation also does not include an acknowledgement that the department’s Sen. Michael finances are in disarray. It has S. Sanchez been revealed that, contrary to state law, Finance and Administration has not reconciled its books with the state treasury for at least two years in amounts ranging from $60 million to $100 million. Any audit would consider this a “material weakness” that requires corrective action. Doesn’t it seem hypocritical that the agency responsible for getting local government entities to meet the administration’s standards doesn’t meet those same standards? If, as some argue, one criterion for disbursing public money is to comply with state audit law, the department would not be eligible to receive any taxpayer money in next fiscal year’s budget. The proponents of Gov. Martinez’s executive order should agree that the Legislature would be supporting good policy if it withheld taxpayer money from an agency after it learned that the agency does not have its financial books in order. There is no question that government entities need to be held accountable for their handling of public money. But it is in the public’s best interest that the administration demanding accountability is the first to be held accountable. Michael Sanchez is Senate Majority Leader representing District 29 (Valencia, Bernalillo).

GOP: Should long for the days of Bush Continued from Page B-1 infraction — the equivalent of jaywalking — by being undocumented. Despite the myths, these tireless workers contribute more than they take from us in many ways. The undocumented also imbue core (Republican?) values of self-reliance, a strong work ethic, and strong family and faith values. Seems like these folks should be honored instead of vilified. Whatever bill does get passed — and it would be a first step — it will still take time before antiimmigrant passions subside and we look for more sensible solutions to deal with this vibrant labor and consumer market. Perhaps we might revisit an idea advanced by President

Bush: He had proposed the North America union in 2000 with Canada and Mexico. It would have been loosely modeled after the European Union, in which 29 countries allow the free flow of currency, goods and services — and people — without the irrational hysterics we seem preoccupied with. Alas, that union was shot down by his own Republican extremists. Still, with respect to immigration, the GOP should be longing for the days of President Bush. We are.

Serna, an attorney, is the former national chair of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund.

Iraq veterans sent for the wrong reasons

BS Sunday Morning recently had a piece about veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq who had suffered loss of limb(s), blindness, brain trauma, etc., in Afghanistan or Iraq. They had formed a band called Wounded Warriors. The band members who were interviewed said that playing (or singing) in the band had given them a more positive outlook on life. Their courage under fire and in response to their devastating injuries demonstrates a quality of character superior to the international war criminals ultimately responsible for their plight. George W. Bush invaded Iraq in violation of international law. He and Dick Cheney broke international and national law by approving the torture of prisoners, in particular the use of water boarding. The reason Bush and Cheney gave for invading Iraq was that Saddam Hussein was in league with terrorists and bore some responsibility for the destruction of the twin towers and partial destruction of the Pentagon on 9/11. The second was that Saddam Hussein was harboring weapons of mass destruction and was procuring the materials to produce more of them. Neither one of the reasons proved to be true. George W. Bush’s reason for invading Iraq appeared to be largely self-aggrandize-

ment. He said, “One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander in chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait, and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade … if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it.” He also wanted to be the president who brought democracy to the Middle East; his Bush Doctrine proposed that a democratic Iraq would encourage others in the region to rise up against authoritarian rule. He also wanted to pay Hussein back for trying to assassinate his father. In a more pragmatic move, President Bush picked Vice President Dick Cheney, former Halliburton CEO, to head an Energy Task Force. In March 2001, the Task Force developed a map of Iraq, as well as maps of the neighboring United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) and Saudi Arabia, which shows oilfields, pipelines, tanker terminals, refineries and eight “blocks” for exploration near the border with Saudi Arabia. Attached to the map is a list of “Foreign Suitors” for oil deals with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The United States tried to get Iraq to retain technical ownership over energy reserves but give locked-in-control and extremely high profit margins to foreign

oil companies. One American corporation, Exxon Mobil, got such a contract, but Iraq ultimately persuaded other foreign suitors to accept service contracts lasting 20 years to pump oil for a fixed price per barrel. Iraq retains ownership of its oil fields. Bush and Cheney also turned the Iraq War into a paradise for private corporations, to which the government paid $138 billion to do what the military had always done at a fraction of the cost. Halliburton’s subsidiary Brown and Root, for which Cheney had been CEO, received the most money — $39.5 billion. So was the war worth the sacrifice of our dead and wounded warriors? They were told that they were fighting for our country’s freedom and democracy, but that’s just propaganda to stimulate their patriotic sensibilities and solace their family and friends. The freedom and democracy of the United States was not threatened before, during or after the Iraq War. Our warriors were actually fighting for the hubris and avarice of Bush, Cheney and the rest of the neoconservatives who worked to help them realize their personal ambitions.

District OKs new attendance boundaries New south-side school openings, enrollment shift aim to reduce overcrowding, create ‘feeder’ patterns By Robert Nott The New Mexican

The Santa Fe school board recently approved new attendance boundaries for 2014-15 that reduce overcrowding at some schools and create clearer school feeder patterns, which designate which middle and high schools students should attend, based on where they live.

The district will be opening two new schools in the fall of 2014: Nina Otero Community School, a K-8 school in the Tierra Contenta subdivision, and still unnamed K-8 school at 2500 S. Meadows Road that will serve students who now live within the attendance boundaries for Agua Fría Elementary School. That school will

close at the end of the 2013-14 school year, and the facility will be remodeled for use as an early-childhood center. Enrollment will decrease at three south-side schools under the new plan: César Chávez Community School’s population will drop from 615 students to about 475; Sweeney Elementary School from 630 to about 470; and Piñon Elementary School from 540 to about 455. Children who live near Turquoise Trail Charter School on the south side of town will be sent to Amy Biehl

Community School at Rancho Viejo rather than to Nava Elementary, which is farther away. Enrollment at both high schools in the district is expected to drop slightly in the next school year — from 1,350 at Capital to about 1,250 and from nearly 1,600 at Santa Fe High to just over 1,500 — due to fewer students of high school age in the district, not because of any increase in the dropout rate or the number of students attending public charters and private schools. Kirsty Janda-Wagner, executive

director of operations for the school district, said students who have been assigned to a different school than the one they are currently attending can request to stay where they are. A school-naming committee led by board member Susan Duncan is working to choose a name for the new school on South Meadows Road that is replacing Agua Fría Elementary. Duncan said the committee received suggestions from 32 individuals and

‘Los Pastores’ performances help preserve a local holiday tradition

Santa Fe Stories Project focuses on post-World War II historical anecdotes By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

sword-wielding St. Michael the Archangel, dressed in sequins, vanquished a devil brandishing a plastic pitchfork Saturday at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The two characters were performing in an annual holiday presentation of Los Pastores, a folk play that tells the story of the archangel (named San Miguel in the Northern New Mexico version) appearing to the shepherds to announce the birth of Jesus, and the shepherds’ journey to adore the newborn babe. The production was performed entirely in Spanish by members of the La Gran Pastorela de Belen, who have been performing the play every year for the past 42 years. Audience members who spoke Spanish were more likely to catch — and chuckle at — the inside jokes and comic asides delivered

In brief Police say Valencia County woman killed by pit bull Valencia County sheriff’s officials say Michal Nelson, 41, was killed Friday afternoon by her own pit bull. According to a report by KOB-TV, the attack occurred at about 4:30 p.m. at the woman’s home south of Belen. The Valencia County Sheriff’s Department said the woman’s son found her body at the home and then killed the dog. A separate report, by KOAT-TV, said the woman’s body was found inside an outdoor pen where she kept her dogs. According to that report, she had nearly a dozen dogs. Nelson apparently was trying to break the ice in the dogs’ water bowl when the pit bull attacked. The other dogs were reportedly taken into

But an English-language synopsis in the program ensured that everyone could follow along as Bartolo, a lazy shepherd, and his fellow sheepherd-

ers made their way to Bethlehem. The comedic antics of Bartolo — who tries to offer audience members draws off his flask — are just one of aspect of the play, which also is filled with religious reverence expressed by singing accompanied by guitar, violin and harmonica. The centuries-old santuario at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe was a fitting setting for the play, as the late-afternoon sun streaming through the windows added a celestial feeling to the event. The performance was sponsored by La Sociedad Folklorica, a local group dedicated to preserving the Hispanic culture and traditions of Northern New Mexico.

Volunteers gear up for Great Lakes Airlines ending Christmas bird count Volunteers in nearly three dozen locations flights from Clovis around New Mexico will be busy over the next CLOVIS — Great Lakes Airlines has announced that it will end service out of Clovis. Clovis News Journal reported that the airline filed a termination notice this week to end its federally subsidized flights between Clovis and Denver International Airport, with a stop at Santa Fe. It was unclear how the change will affect service to Santa Fe. Under terms of Essential Air Service, Great Lakes is required to provide service to Clovis until a new carrier is in place. Airport Director Gene Bieker says the Department of Transportation plans to put Clovis passenger service out to bid next week. The Cheyenne, Wyo.-based airline first worked with Clovis in April 2005 with flights to and from Albuquerque Sunport, and operated under that agreement until it decided to move operations to Denver last year.

three weeks helping count birds. The annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count began Saturday and will run through Jan. 5. Scientists, students, families and other birders will be participating, often braving pre-dawn, frigid temperatures. The goal is to track the health of bird populations at a scale that professional scientists could never accomplish alone. Robert Templeton of Dixon will be participating for the 15th straight year. He says he does it for the love of birds, knowing the effort contributes to science and bird conservation. Last year, more than 500 volunteers participated in New Mexico. They cataloged over 389,000 individual birds, with 85,000 being counted at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. Staff and wire reports

Vince Kadlubek believes Santa Fe’s more recent history isn’t as appreciated or as publicized as the history of the city from his parents’ generation. In order to change that, he is leading a project to create a mobile app that would give historical anecdotes for about 1,000 sites around Santa Fe. Vince Kadlubek, 31, is asking Kadlubek the public to help him gather historical documents that will help retell the city’s postWorld War II story, he said. “It’s our most recent history that goes unnoticed, and it’s not presented well,” Kadlubek said. “But you’ll find that there’s so much passion from that era — 1950s to the 1990s. And I just had a window of opportunity, and it was time to do this project.” When the Santa Fe Stories Project is complete, he said, it will allow a person visiting one of the 1,000 historical hot spots to access stories about the location’s past. For example, he said, a patron of the Tune-Up Cafe could scan the project’s quick response code, or QR code, on the restaurant’s menu, using a smartphone or a tablet. A photo will appear, showing the restaurant back when it was known as Dave’s Not Here, or when it Tomasita’s. “If we see where we came from, we can

Teacher under fire for ‘white Santa’ remark By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — A New Mexico high school teacher has been disciplined after a parent says the man told his black son that Santa Claus is white. Officials at the school in Rio Rancho, about 15 miles north of Albuquerque, said Saturday that the teacher recently was disciplined for his comments to the student, but they declined to say how. The move came after students at Cleveland High School were told they could come to class dressed as Santa, an elf or a reindeer. Michael Rougier told KOB-TV his ninth-grade son, Christopher, arrived wearing a Santa hat and beard, and the teacher asked the boy: “Don’t you know Santa Claus is white? Why are you wearing that?” The teacher’s name was not released. Michael Rougier said the teacher’s comments enraged him. “There’s no room for that in the classroom,” he said. “Whether this teacher felt Christopher may have been wearing this out of context, there’s no room for it. There’s just no room for it.” The incident happened the same

Yosemite-related legislation faces some obstacles By Michael Doyle McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Congress will revisit unfinished business with Yosemite National Park next year. One pending bill would expand Yosemite’s boundaries. Another would rename a local mountain peak. A third would speed salvage logging in the park’s vicinity. Some bills may have promise, but none yet shows unstoppable momentum. “I think there’s a possibility that these measures could become part of a larger package,” Rep. Jim Costa, D-Calif., said Friday. “There’s a deal there to work out.”

Certainly, long odds confound any legislation in today’s divided Congress. Through Nov. 30, House members introduced 4,222 bills and resolutions since the 113th Congress began on Jan. 3. In the Senate, 2,144 bills and resolutions were introduced. So far, only 55 bills have become law; some in packages that included multiple bills. The 113th Congress resumes in January during an election year that further complicates legislating. Some measures may be teed up for quick action, such as a long-stalled farm bill. Other measures may be consigned to debate fodder, such as the Senate’s 1,198-page immi-

gration bill passed in June. The Yosemite-related bills, while relatively modest, face multiple obstacles. One measure, introduced in September by Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., is called the Yosemite Rim Fire Emergency Salvage Act. The legislation, a response to the devastating Yosemite-area fire of last summer, would exempt salvage logging on the nearby Stanislaus National Forest from the usual environmental studies, public review or judicial oversight. Citing what he called the “gravest reservations,” McClintock removed from his original bill a provision that

Police notes The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating the following reports: u About 300 feet of copper cable were stolen from a business in the 2500 block of Camino Edward Ortiz late Thursday or early Friday. u Four female juveniles were caught shoplifting headphones, slippers and accessories from Kohl’s, 4401 Cerrillos Road, around 3:30 p.m. Thursday. The girls had burglary tools on them, according to a police report. They were released to their parents. u A box of tools was stolen from a vehicle in the 3200 block of Zafarano Drive between 6 and 9:30 a.m. Friday. u A woman reported that someone stole her purse out of her shopping cart at a store on Cordova Road around 2 p.m. Friday. u Derek Martinez , 25, 201 Navajo Drive, was arrested on a charge of commercial burglary Friday after he allegedly stole several items from WalMart, 3251 Cerrillos Road. u Two employees of Albertsons, 3542 Zafarano Drive, reported that they saw a man leave the store with two large bottles of laundry detergent around 6:40 p.m. Friday. They tried to stop him, they said, but

he ran across Zafarano Drive and then opened his jacket and said, “You’re out of the property,” while showing a black handgun, according to a police report. The employees ran back to Albertsons as the suspect ran toward TJ Maxx, according to the report. u Sandra Tapia, 21, of Santa Fe was arrested on charges of driving with a revoked licensed, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and failing to provide information Friday evening after she was involved in a motor vehicle accident at Paseo del Sol and Airport Road. Tapia allegedly ran a stoplight and struck another vehicle, injuring someone, then fled the scene, according to a police report. u Photographs were stolen from a home in the 100 block of La Placita Circle sometime Thursday. u A brown 2006 Kia Amanti was stolen Saturday from the 200 block of Galisteo Street. u A boy was charged with unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon after he brought a hunting knife to Capshaw Middle School on Friday. He was released to a parent. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the following reports: u Anthony Miquino, 32, of

Santo Domingo Pueblo was arrested on a charge of breaking and entering Friday after he and another man were allegedly discovered by maintenance staff inside a vacant apartment at Casa Rufina Apartments. Miquino fled but was located a few blocks away, according to a police report. u Someone broke into a residence on Camino Cerro Chato in the Madrid area Thursday. It was unclear whether anything was stolen. u Batteries were stolen from three vehicles parked in the 4800 block of Junta del Alamo late Friday or early Saturday. All the vehicles were unlocked.

would affect timber found within Yosemite’s boundaries. “If any good can come of this tragedy, it would be the timely salvage of fire-killed timber that could provide employment to local mills and desperately needed economic activity to mountain communities,” he said. A lower-profile bill introduced by McClintock last March would rename Mammoth Peak, a 12,117-foot summit within Yosemite’s boundaries, as Mount Jessie Benton Fremont. Fremont, a writer and political activist, came from a prominent Missouri family and was married to Sen. John C. Fremont, a 19th-century explorer.

MARGARITA ORTIZ Y PINO TRUSCOTT Margarita (Margo) Ortiz y Pino Truscott, the first Hispanic woman to serve as the assistant executive director of Girl Scouts of Colorado, died December 7 in Denver. She was 71. Born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Truscott was in the last stages of becoming a Catholic nun before coming to Colorado in 1968, where she met and married the love of her life, Charles Truscott, who preceded her in death in 2005. Truscott and her husband are known for a lasting love that was filled with joy and mutual respect. They had love, trust and friendship in one another. They celebrated life and traveled the world and when Charles died, Margo entered a slow decline in heath. Although she managed to continue to travel with her friend and caregiver Angie Malpiede to far-off places like Italy, Peru and Jerusalem, she finally succumbed to illness and reunited with her beloved Charlie. During Truscott’s 30 years of leadership in the Girl Scouts, the organization was considered one of the top councils in the country. She developed programs for low-income girls who resided in public housing projects. The Summer Alegria program provided day camp opportunities to the girls throughout the metro-Denver area at no cost. She also oversaw all of the alternative programs in the council, including the Hispanic Mentor and African American Mentor programs for troubled girls, as well as the In-School Scouting program for girls and boys of low-income families in Denver Public Schools. "She had a commitment to those who struggled and made sure they had grants to participate," said Malpiede, who also worked with Truscott during her time with the Girl Scouts. "She oversaw the membership unit, which provided direct service to 12 counties, providing girl scouting. Her team oversaw the recruitment and retention of leaders for more than 30, 000 young girls." Truscott had a passion for empowering women. She served on a number of influential boards in Colorado, including the Mi Casa Resource Center for Women Board of Directors and the Denver Inner-City Parish Board of Directors. She volunteered with the nonprofits Zonta and Adelante Mujer. Before moving to Denver, Truscott was a Maryknoll sister in both in St. Louis and New York. She earned a master’s degree in sociology from Temple University in Philadelphia. She also worked briefly in Santa Fe, helping families adopt children. Truscott is survived by a sister, Maria Catanach of West Chester, Pennsylvania; and a brother, Jose Ortiz y Pino and his wife Yolanda both of Galisteo, New Mexico; as well as several nieces and nephews. She gave so much of herself to her family and community and made significant strides in the lives of young women. Margo Ortiz y Pino Truscott will be deeply missed.

Historical documents submitted for the project can include photos, news articles, or audio and video recordings, he said. So far, people have submitted about 100 pieces, such as pictures, written anecdotes and a few video interviews. People can submit documents through project’s website, www.santafestories.com. From there, Kadlubek said, he and his partners will choose items that fit with the app’s theme of postWorld War II history. Snippets of history aren’t all Kadlubek needs to complete the project and get the app on mobile platforms by a June 14 deadline. The Santa Fe Stories Project also is seeking $10,000 to conduct research, shoot video interviews and create the mobile app. Kadlubek has begun gathering the funds through the online crowdsourcing site Kickstarter. So far, the project has collected more than $700 through the Kickstarter campaign. But to secure those funds, Kadlubek said, the project must gather the entire $10,000 by its campaign deadline of Jan. 8. Kadlubek said people who want to help support the project can find out more on the project’s Kickstarter campaign page at www.

Cleveland High School teacher knows he made a “stupid mistake” and has since apologized to the Rougier family. “The remark was inappropriate and should not have been made. The teacher feels very badly about what occurred,” district spokeswoman Kim Vesely told the AP in an email. “He self-reported the incident to the principal and has apologized to the student and to the student’s

parent. Appropriate disciplinary action has been taken.” Michael Rougier said he still has concerns about the teacher. “If he has that attitude, how is it affecting students, studies, grading habits, trending toward Caucasian kids?” Rougier said. The teacher still works at Cleveland, but Christopher has been removed from his class at his family’s request, Vesely said.

Opportunity to educate

State employee praised for leadership in boating safety

Raton native works with nonprofit to teach low-income children in Honduras

Michael Buttram speaks with students who attend a Bilingual Education for Central America school.

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

fter graduating from a Texas college in 1998, Michael Buttram received a scholarship through the Fulbright Program to study in Germany, where he learned about comparative education. For instance, Buttram discovered how teachers are trained in Europe versus how they are trained in the United States. And that experience piqued his interest in becoming a teacher, he said. Buttram began his teaching career at a Denver elementary school. Two years later, while attending an international job fair in Denver, the Raton native discovered a teaching opportunity that would lead him to his passion — helping to educate low-income children in Honduras. “My intention was to go to Latin America because of my upbringing here in New Mexico, an affinity of the culture and an appreciation of the people,” said the 37-yearold Buttram, who now lives in Santa Fe. “And also because of the language, because I really wanted to improve my [Spanish] language skills.” Buttram said he always had an interest in the Spanish language and Latin American culture. When he had the opportunity to move to Central America to teach at a private international school in Honduras, Buttram did so without hesitation. He taught music at the school, which was operated by Englishspeaking teachers. “When I got the job, I said, ‘I’m going there, and I’m going to see the world and find out my destiny from there.’ ” Students at this school were primarily wealthy Honduran children. Some students were Korean whose families owned Honduras-based companies. “When I arrived, I was happy,” Buttram said. “But I went down expecting to serve a different portion of the population because I knew Honduras was a very poor country.” Buttram recalled watching students arrive at the private school in armored cars. Some students had family maids who would carry the children’s backpacks to their classrooms. Soon, he began seeking opportunities to work with children who lacked the resources his own students had. “I started looking for volunteering opportunities on the weekends and in the summers,” he said. Then Buttram discovered a U.S.-based nonprofit called Bilingual Education for Central America, or BECA, which means “scholarship” in Spanish. English-speaking educators with the organization were teaching Honduran children from low-income

oating is probably not at the top of your activity list for December. But it’s never far from the minds of those whose job it is to ensure optimum safety conditions on the nation’s lakes and waterways. In New Mexico, Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department employee Toby Velasquez has received high praise for his leadership in boating safety and water survival. Velasquez is Boating Safety and Law Enforcement Bureau chief in the agency’s State Parks Division. As outgoing president of the National Association of State Boating Law Gussie Administrators, he demonstrated Fauntleroy “outstanding work contributions Public Works and leadership,” according to the association’s CEO, John Johnson. Velasquez was the first New Mexican, the first Hispanic and the youngest boating law administrator to be elected NASBLA president. He has been with State Parks Division since 1999 and has served as bureau chief since 2006. uuu

communities in a bilingual school setting. While Buttram continued teaching at the private school, he began volunteering at the BECA schools. After marrying another American teacher, a North Dakota native who lived in his neighborhood in Honduras, Buttram left his teaching job and returned to the United States with his new wife, Katie. The couple went back to Honduras in 2009, and they both worked full time at a BECA school. And in 2011, Buttram became the executive director of the nonprofit, which was started in 2001. “We’re not trying to groom them to illegally come to the United States,” Buttram said of the people served by BECA schools. “We want them to be the workforce and the middle class of tomorrow in Honduras. … We want them to be the catalyst for change in a country that desperately needs it.” When Buttram’s wife became pregnant with their first child, they moved to Santa Fe to be close to his parents, he said. Their child is now 2, and they recently found out his wife is pregnant again. Eventually, the couple would like to move back to Honduras for a few years so their children can become fluent in Spanish and appreciate the Latin American culture, Buttram said. Part of the reason he’s so passionate about teaching in Honduras is because he views his students as his own children, he said. Another reason, he said, is the country’s weak educational system. He said the first year he arrived

in Honduras, the country’s public schoolteachers were on strike, and students missed about 100 days of school. In BECA’s first year, it had about 70 students enrolled in one school. Recently, the organization built its third school because demand from parents has increased, Buttram said. It now has 25 English-speaking teachers. Most are from the United States, but some are from Canada and Ireland, according to the organization’s website. All of BECA’s teachers are volunteers, and each must commit to at least one year of teaching, Buttram said. The nonprofit pays for their room, board, relocation costs and visa fees. Buttram said it only takes about $2,000 to run a classroom for a full academic year through BECA. The money is raised in the United States through various fundraisers and donations, including a dinner and raffle event scheduled for Sunday in Santa Fe, he said.

Santa Fe County’s Finance Division recently earned international recognition for its presentation of the county’s fiscal year 2013 budget. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada honored the county with a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. The award recognizes specific presentation qualities that allow the budget to serve simultaneously as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and communication device. This is the fifth year the Finance Division has earned the award. The county’s budget “actually tells a story of the county’s needs, resources, commission priorities and more,” said Santa Fe County Manager Katherine Miller. uuu

Leyva is known for exemplifying her personal and profession motto: “3 E’s—efficient, effective and with enthusiasm.” uuu William Barnes recently joined the New Mexico State Land Office’s Santa Fe staff as manager of the agency’s One Health Program, which incorporates public, environmental and community health into land management practices on state trust lands. Barnes’ work experience includes river restoration, rangeland monitoring, outdoor and classroom education with numerous organizations, including the Valles Caldera National Preserve and the Quivera Coalition.

Newsmakers Cyrus, Macklemore perform at Jingle Ball NEW YORK — Miley Cyrus headlined the annual Jingle Ball concert at Madison Square Garden, performing her hits “Wrecking Ball” and “We Can’t Stop.” Lindsay Lohan introduced the singer Friday night, saying she loves that Cyrus is being “herself.” Wild child Cyrus sang onstage in a shimmery red ensemble resembling a Christmas ornament. Other performers included Selena Gomez, Enrique Iglesias and Robin Thicke, who asked the crowd: “I wonder who Miley Cyrus will twerk on tonight?” Ariana Grande shined as she belted songs such as “The Way” and “Honeymoon Avenue” in Mariah Carey form. Girl group Fifth Harmony also impressed vocally, while Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pitbull ignited the crowd during their sets.

Khloe Kardashian files for divorce from Odom LOS ANGELES — After months of speculation, Khloe Kardashian is ending her four-year marriage to Lamar Odom. The reality TV star filed for divorce

Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. She also wants her last name restored to Kardashian from Kardashian Odom. The filing comes days after Odom pleaded no contest on Monday to a misdemeanor drunken-driving charge. The 34-year-old athlete was arrested last August after his Mercedes-Benz SUV was seen weaving on an L.A. freeway. He seemed to address rumors of personal problems when he tweeted a cryptic message in September, saying he had been “Seeing the Snakes.” The 6-foot-10-inch power forward has been out of the NBA since going unsigned as a free agent after a miserable season last year. Kardashian, 29, is best known for starring with her sisters Kim and Kourtney, and her mother, Kris Jenner, in the longrunning reality TV series Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

By Jake Pearson The Associated Press

NEW YORK — For sharpelbowed New Yorkers accustomed to walking where they need to go at a big-city pace, the holiday season is hardly the most wonderful time of the year. An estimated 5 million tourists who flock to the city between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day to see the tree at Rockefeller Center, the bright lights of Times Square and the Empire State Building often clog the sidewalks in an agonizingly slow procession that grates at locals and turns them into sidewalk Scrooges. “They’re like the walking dead, real slow,” griped Dennis Moran, 46, a fire safety officer at a building in Times Square and a native New Yorker. “They have this unnatural habit of stopping in the middle of the sidewalk.” It’s not that these Grinches don’t like the visitors; they just want them to use a little sidewalk etiquette. Among the biggest complaints: They stop in their tracks to take pictures. They stroll side by side in a sidewalk-blocking line. And worst of all, said Jose Francis, a caterer from Brooklyn who works in midtown Manhattan, they like to discuss group plans smack-dab in the middle of the sidewalk. “They’re walking then they look, they stand there and then, ‘boom,’ you run right into them,” he fumed. “They don’t pay attention. New Yorkers, we’re walking brisk. We keep it moving.” Every year at this time, Bronx-born Macy’s shoe salesman Henry Vega said he has to double down on his resolve to maneuver sidewalks full of shopping-bag carrying, picture-taking, map-holding tourists. “I tell them, ‘New York is a fast-paced town; we get up in the morning, and we get on the go, and 24 hours isn’t

enough,’” said Vega, 54, as he noshed on a slice of pizza, standing, between shifts. “They tell me, ‘You guys are always in a rush.’ ” Vega’s trick for navigating the holiday-time sidewalks of New York? “I already know I’m going to zigzag,” he said. “Sometimes I walk in the street.” But tourists say it’s no walk in the park for them, either. Joanie Micksy, 47, was visiting New York with her 17-yearold daughter, Sarah, last week from their home in Greenville, Pa., when she received a notso-gentle reminder that she was in somebody’s way. “She just said, ‘Excuse me,’ but in a totally snotty way,” Micksy said as she waited at a Times Square intersection to look up directions on her phone. “She said it like I got in her way on purpose. Like that was my goal when I got up this morning.” In 2010, an improv group disguised as city transportation workers used chalk to divide a sidewalk in two, leaving the right lane open for speed-walking New Yorkers, and the left for picture-taking tourists. The video went viral. At Rockefeller Center, site of the 76-foot tall Christmas tree, companies with offices in the building annually urge their employees to avoid the outdoors when exiting during the nationally televised tree lighting earlier this month — suggesting they escape to the subway system via an underground concourse level. Shawn Hicks, 26, a courier from Brooklyn who works in Manhattan, said that while kvetching about the ambulatory annoyances of the holiday season was every New Yorker’s right, he didn’t think it was necessarily just. “If you’re touring another country, what are you going to do?” he asked of his fellow locals. “So it’ll take you 10 seconds longer, so what?” But Moran dismissed the Kumbaya approach and suggested tourists take note before venturing into the concrete jungle. “Watch the locals,” he said. “Learn from the locals.”

Polygamy advocates hail ruling in Utah Advocacy groups for polygamy and individual liberties are hailing a federal judge’s ruling that key parts of Utah’s polygamy laws are unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups said Friday that a provision in Utah law forbidding cohabitation with another person violated the First Amendment. The ruling was a victory for the polygamist Brown family that stars in the TV reality show Sister Wives. They had filed a lawsuit in 2011. The Associated Press

Jameis became the youngest Heisman winner and the second straight freshman to win the trophy Saturday night, earning college football’s most prestigious individual trophy award with a performance so dominant even a criminal investigation couldn’t derail his candidacy. “I cannot explain the feeling that I have inside right now,” Winston said. “I’m so overwhelmed. It’s awesome.” When his name was announced, he popped from his seat and quickly made his way to his mom and dad for hugs and kisses. He smiled and

laughed through most of his acceptance speech. He talked about trusting in the “process” on the field and in life and “after all the things I’ve been through this past month.” He got choked up a bit when talking about his parents. “When you see your mom and you see your dad and they’ve been struggling through this whole process and now you see a smile on their face, it comforted me,” he said later.

S.F. High wins 3rd straight invite title Demonettes overcome foul trouble to hold off Lady Horsemen in finals By James Barron The New Mexican

Iron is the best mineral for an aggressive defense. The Santa Fe High Demonettes got their fix of that on Saturday night, as they forced the St. Michael’s Lady Horsemen into clanging shot after shot off the rim in the second half. They held St. Michael’s to S.F. High 50 4-for-17 shooting St. Michael’s 41 from the field in the second half to grind their way to a 50-41 win in the championship of the Capital City Invitational in Santa Fe High’s Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium. It was the third straight Capital City title for Santa Fe High (8-1), but it wasn’t the easiest path to the trophy.

Horsemen top Capital, finish in third place By James Barron The New Mexican

X’s and O’s weren’t at the heart of the problem for the St. Michael’s Horsemen on Saturday afternoon. It was the heart that was. Horsemen head boys basketball coach Ron Geyer did not like the effort that he saw St. Michael’s 38 from his team in the first half of Capital 24 the third-place game in the Capital City Invitational against Capital. Too many loose balls and too many rebounds were going to the Jaguars, and that irked Geyer more than anything. “Just lack-of-effort plays,” Geyer said. “Not everybody, but a few guys on the team that just didn’t put out the effort necessary.” There was no question about that in the second half, and the Horsemen pulled away from the Jaguars to take a 38-24 win. The first half, though, was a different story. Capital outrebounded the Horsemen by a 13-4 count and used a 7-0 run to take a 16-13 lead with :34.2 left, but that moment was muted by Wesley Vaughan’s 3 with :13.8 seconds left to tie the score at the half. The effort from St. Michael’s was much better after Geyer’s chat, and the Horsemen simply made plays the Jaguars couldn’t down the stretch. After Capital crept to within 23-22 on Ivan Olivas’ layup with 3:34 left, it did

COMMENTARY

Shanahan sets up a messy departure for Redskins By Paul Newberry The Associated Press

TLANTA — The Washington You-Know-Whos sure know how to diffuse the debate over their nickname as they head to Atlanta to face the Falcons. In fact, Dan Snyder and Co. must be preparing us for an impending change. The Washington Bizarros, anyone? Coach Mike Shanahan’s decision to bench healthy quarterback Robert Griffin III for the rest of the season — purportedly to make sure he stays that way for Washington’s offseason program — is so strange on so many levels, it’s hard to know where to

begin. Are we really supposed to believe Shanahan’s explanation that Griffin will benefit more from taking part in scripted drills over the spring and summer than he does from playing three actual games, even if we make the very big leap that he won’t be able to do both because he is sure to get injured again if he keeps playing? Are we really supposed to believe this isn’t Shanahan flexing his muscles one last time in a power play he is sure to lose before he is sent packing at the end of a disastrous season? Are we really supposed to believe anything Shanahan says, for that matter? The only thing we know for sure is

Sports information: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Stephanie Proffer, sproffer@sfnewmexican.com

Washington (3-10) isn’t intentionally tanking its final three games just to lock up the top overall pick: The firstround selection in 2014 was dealt to St. Louis as part of Mike the trade to land Shanahan RG3 in the first place. The Rams are the only sure winners in this whole fiasco. “My job is to build this organization the right way,” Shanahan said in what might have been the most ludicrous statement of his absurd news conference this week, the one that dragged

on for nearly a half-hour as he kept spewing the same nonsense about why he was shutting Griffin down for the rest of the year. “I think,” the coach added, somehow maintaining a perfectly straight face, “we’ve been able to do that.” Now, back to reality. Washington is right on Houston’s heels for the worst record in the NFL and the handling of the quarterback situation — Kirk Cousins will start the last three weeks — has made the organization a total laughingstock, the sort of perception Snyder was looking to change when the mercurial owner hired Shanahan almost four years ago and handed him the keys to the franchise.

By John Boell Newsday played very respectable football the second half of the season, but the Niners are tied with Carolina with a 9-4 ATS record. THE PICK: 49ERS

EAGLES (8-5) AT VIKINGS (3-9-1) Line: Eagles by 4½ Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: The first-place Iggles can’t afford a slip up here, and look to improve upon their 5-1 ATS road record. THE PICK: EAGLES

REDSKINS (3-10) AT FALCONS (3-10) Line: Falcons by 7 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: I think the Redskins players come together and keep things close enough against a fellow underachieving team. THE PICK: REDSKINS

TEXANS (2-11) AT COLTS (8-5) Line: Colts by 5½ Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: The Texans have lost 11 straight after a 2-0 start, and maybe they’ll play with a nothing-to-lose mentality . . . but I can’t back them here or anywhere. THE PICK: COLTS

BEARS (7-6) AT BROWNS (4-9) Line: Pick ‘em Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: No matter who is the QB, I think Chicago finds a way to win and keep their playoff hopes alive. THE PICK: BEARS

JETS (6-7) AT PANTHERS (9-4) Line: Panthers by 11 Time: 2:05 p.m. Bottom line: A win in Carolina is a tall order for the Jets. There are too many good trends going the way of Carolina, who has covered five straight at home. THE PICK: PANTHERS

could easily step up big against the Saints in this spot, but New Orleans can clinch a playoff berth with a win here. THE PICK: SAINTS

CARDINALS (8-5) AT TITANS (5-8) Line: Cardinals by 2½ Time: 2:25 p.m. Bottom line: Arizona has been

one of the best teams to back this season (9-4 ATS) while the Titans are 1-4-1 ATS at home his season. THE PICK: CARDINALS

Gadsden rallied from a 33-27 deficit in the fourth quarter to for a 39-all tie at the end of regulation. It was 46-all after the first overtime and 48-all after the second. Rafa Martinez led the Panthers (11-1) with 16 points. FIFTH PLACE DEMING 73, SANTA FE HIGH 58 The Wildcats outscored the host Demons 22-13 in the fourth quarter to pull away for fifth place. Dominic Saenz scored nine of his game-high 25 point in the final quarter. Santa Fe High wasn’t helped with Hayden Hargrove in foul trouble for most of the game and he fouled out in

the fourth quarter with just four points. Julio Rivera led the Demons (1-7) with 25 points.

The Lady Horsemen (4-3) battled their way from a 14-5 deficit in the first quarter to take a 21-19 lead on Latysha Archuleta’s 3-pointer with 4:30 left, and they extended the margin to 24-20 on a pair of free throws from Alex Groenwold just 29 seconds later. The Demonettes were saddled in foul trouble and the Lady Horsemen were living at the free-throw line (12-for-14 in the first half). “We got a little razzled there in the first quarter, because we were up on them and then our fouls kind of let them back in,” said Jackie Martinez, Santa Fe High’s senior wing. “We sat back and said, ‘They’re catching up. They tied it.’ We huddled up together and said, ‘Stop fouling.’ ” It was a perfect strategy. St. Michael’s missed 10 of their first 11 shots of the second half and the Demonettes slowly built the lead to 36-32 on Martinez’s 8-footer from the left side with 4:12 left in the third quarter. Then came a 3:25 drought by Santa Fe High that finally ended on a 15-footer from Bryana Garcia and was followed by a 16-footer by tournament most valuable player Kayla Herrera with 3 seconds left for a 40-32 lead. By that point, the need to score was at a critical mass for the Lady Horsemen. “We just failed to hit shots,” St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero said. “Our man stuff, we were getting decent looks out of it, we just couldn’t make a shot, and they did.

She finished with 22 points to lead all scorers. Meanwhile, the usual trio of Demonettes led the way. Martinez had 15 points, while Herrera had 11 and 6-foot-2 post Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage added 10, as all three made the all-tournament team. Santa Fe High head coach Elmer Chavez said his team’s

ability to pound the ball inside was crucial in settling it down in the second half. “They can’t stop us inside,” Chavez said. “We’re determined to go inside, off a split or a backdoor cut. Once we go inside, there’s no way they can stop us.” THIRD PLACE LAS CRUCES CENTENNIAL 48, BELEN 34 The Lady Jaguars (4-3) overcame a 28-21 halftime deficit by

Reynolds, Navy run to win over Army Texas coach Brown resigns By David Ginsburg The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — All Keenan Reynolds wanted was to beat Army. The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defense all the way into the NCAA record book. Reynolds ran Navy 34 for 136 yards and Army 7 scored three touchdowns to lead the Midshipmen to a 34-7 victory Saturday, their 12th straight in the series. “It’s hard to beat anybody 12 times in a row,” coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “But to beat your rivals, I’m very proud of them.” Reynolds scored on runs of 47 yards, 11 yards and 1 yard. The sophomore has 29 rushing touchdowns, breaking the single-season mark for a quarterback previously held by Ricky Dobbs (Navy, 2009) and Collin Klein (Kansas State, 2011), both of whom had 27. “Coming into the game, I wasn’t too concerned about the record. If I broke it, I broke it. If not, oh well,” Reynolds said. “My main concern was trying to get the W. If that involved me getting zero touchdowns and everyone else having a field day, I was good with that.” It didn’t work that way at all. Reynolds ran 30 times on a frozen, snowcovered field. He also caught a 2-point conversion pass on a trick play follow-

ing his second touchdown. His third score — with 46 seconds left in a lopsided game — gave him 176 points for the season, breaking the school record of 174 set by Bill Ingram in 1917. “The thought did come across my mind to take a knee,” Niumatalolo said. “But then my thoughts went to, I have a kid that has a chance to break a record that’s hard to come by.” Navy (8-4) won the Commander-InChief’s Trophy for the second consecu-

tive season and ninth time in 11 years. The trophy is awarded to the service academy with the most victories in games between Navy, Army and Air Force. The Midshipmen haven’t lost to Army since 2001 and lead the series 58-49-7. Navy’s 12-game run is the longest in the history of the rivalry that began in 1890. “I’ve got a lot of good friends on that side,” Niumatalolo said. “They’ve got great kids over there. They go through

what our kids go through. But ultimately, I’ve got to think about our team.” Niumatalolo became the second coach in Navy history to start his coaching career 6-0 against Army, matching Paul Johnson (2002-07). The Midshipmen will conclude their season in the Armed Forces Bowl against Middle Tennessee State on Dec. 30. Army (3-9) fumbled five times and was intercepted once in its fifth straight defeat. Embattled coach Rich Ellerson fell to 0-5 against the Midshipmen and 20-41 overall since taking the job in December 2008. “You turn the ball over against a good football team, you give up big plays on defense, you take some big hits in the penalty game against a good football team, don’t be surprised if the score gets upside down,” Ellerson said. Ellerson’s job could be in jeopardy, and he knows it. “That’s not my call,” Ellerson said. “Obviously, in the body of work, we’ve made some progress. But I wasn’t brought in to make progress. I was brought in to win some football games and beat Navy. I’ve lost to our rival five times.” The snow that was forecast in the morning hours began during the pregame pageantry that makes this game a one-of-a-kind spectacle. The snow, along with the freezing temperatures, created an uncomfortable setting for those in the packed stadium.

NBA ROUNDUP

Miami holds off Cavaliers The Associated Press

MIAMI — LeBron James scored 25 points against his former team, leading the Heat to a 114-107 victory over Cleveland on Saturday night. Dwyane Wade added Heat 114 24 points, and Chris Cavaliers 107 Bosh had 22 for the Heat, who squandered a 19-point third-quarter lead and rallied from a two-point deficit with eight unanswered points late in the fourth quarter. Ray Allen’s two free throws with 2:16 remaining capped the run and put the Heat ahead 106-100. Mario Chalmers’ corner 3-pointer with 1:36 left increased the lead to 109-101. TRAIL BLAZERS 139, 76ERS 105 In Philadelphia, LaMarcus Aldridge had 20 points and 16 rebounds, Nicolas Batum added 17 points, and Portland set a franchise record for 3-pointers with 21 against skidding Philadelphia. Damian Lillard scored 16 and Dorell Wright had 15 on 5-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Wesley Matthews added 14 points for the Northwest Division leaders, who won their third in a row and improved to 20-4. They became the second NBA team to reach 20 wins, joining the Indiana Pacers (20-3). CLIPPERS 113, WIZARDS 97 In Washington, Chris Paul had 38 points and 12 assists, and Los Angeles shared the ball impeccably in a win over Washington. The Clippers never trailed and had assists on 27 of their 39 field goals, including 16 of 21 in the first half. They shot 56 percent to finish 4-3 on a road trip that included six Eastern Conference teams, leaving them 6-6 on the season against the pedestrian East and 10-3 against the mighty West.

Bryant was 8 of 15 from the field and hit two free throws with 37 seconds left to put the Lakers ahead for good after they trailed most of the game. Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill had 15 points apiece for Los Angeles. Nick Young scored 13 off the bench. SPURS 100, JAZZ 84 In Salt Lake City, Tim Duncan had 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead San Antonio over Utah for its fourth straight victory. Tony Parker scored 15 points and Kawhi Leonard added 13 to help the Spurs (19-4) coast comfortably past the Jazz (6-20) after a big first-half run. Duncan has returned to vintage form after a slow start to the season. The 37-year-old forward is averaging 17 points and 13 rebounds over his last six games. MAVERICKS 106, BUCKS 93 In Dallas, Brandan Wright led Dallas with 19 points in his season debut, Jose Calderon scored 18, and the Mavericks shrugged off the absence of Dirk Nowitzki and coach Rick Carlisle to beat Milwaukee. Nowitzki and Carlisle missed the game with an undisclosed illness. Carlisle has been fighting an upper respiratory problem since before a four-game road trip that started last week. KNICKS 111, HAWKS 106 In New York, Carmelo Anthony scored 35 points, Andrea Bargnani added 23, and New York pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat Atlanta. Pablo Prigioni had a season-high 11 points and was a spark in the decisive 11-0 run midway through the final period as the Knicks finished strong one night after a fourth-quarter flop cost them in Boston.

RAPTORS 99, BULLS 77 In Chicago, Kyle Lowry scored 16 points and Jonas Valanciunas added 15 points and 11 LAKERS 88, BOBCATS 85 rebounds in Toronto’s victory over Chicago. DeMar DeRozan scored 15 and Amir In Charlotte, N.C., Kobe Bryant scored Johnson added 14 points and eight a season-high 21 points, and Los Angeles rebounds to help the Raptors earn their defeated Charlotte for its first win since Bryant returned from a torn Achilles tendon second win in two nights after dropping six four games ago. of seven.

Reach: Ellis, Embiid rallied for Kansas in second half Continued from Page D-1 Lobos. Alex Kirk, who came into the game averaging 18.6 points, was held to just five on 2-for-8 shooting before fouling out with 2:53 remaining in the game. New Mexico was just 2 of 14 from beyond the arc. “We played really well in the first half, but I thought Kansas played really good. I thought that was the best offensive game Kansas has played all year,” New Mexico coach Craig Neal said. “We got into some foul trouble and did some things we weren’t used to doing, and we have to improve on that.” The Jayhawks likewise struggled with foul trouble in the first half, depriving coach Bill Self of Ellis, Embiid and Jamari Traylor for long periods of time. That allowed the 6-foot-9 Bairstow to go to work inside, scoring on an array of putbacks and spin moves. The senior from Brisbane, Australia, had 16 points at the break. “We wanted to put them in a position to really feel pressure,” Bairstow said. The Lobos got within one at halftime on a buzzerbeating basket by Arthur Edwards, but Kansas quickly seized control with a 16-4 run to start the second half. Embiid had nine points and Ellis the other seven during the spurt, but it was really fueled by the Jay-

hawks’ defense, which finally slowed down Bairstow and Williams on the other end. The Lobos chipped away at their 55-42 deficit, most of the surge coming from the foul line. By the time Williams converted a four-point play, New Mexico had managed to scrape and claw to 63-58 with 8:03 left, and briefly silence a crowd heavily in favor of Kansas. That’s when the Jayhawks turned to Ellis and Embiid again. Embiid answered Williams with a pair of foul shots, Ellis added a free throw moments later, and Embiid threw down a dunk as the crowd roared. Ellis added a dunk of his own moments later, forcing New Mexico to burn a timeout that didn’t do a whole lot of good. “Our bigs were really good,” Self said. “Perry was the most consistent one and he scored the most points, but there was a stretch in the second half where Joel looked pretty good.” Williams missed after the timeout and Embiid scored again at the other end, pushing the Jayhawks’ lead to 74-59 with 4½ minutes remaining in the game. “We felt really good after halftime, really fought them off. It really boiled down to their second-half run,” Williams said. “That was really the story.” Kansas merely coasted from there, wrapping up the victory in the first meeting between the schools since the 1964-65 season and ending nearly a month spent playing games away from Allen Fieldhouse.

“We came out a lackadaisical to start the second half and they took advantage of it,” Neal said. “Kansas came out really aggressive in the second half and that cost us.”

AUSTIN, Texas — Mack Brown, the Texas football coach who led the Longhorns to the 2005 national title and ranks second at the school in career victories, is stepping down after 16 seasons. In a statement released by the school Saturday night, the coach who was brought to Texas to revive a dormant program in 1997 acknowledged Mack Brown it was time for a change after a 30-20 record, including 18-17 in the Big 12, over the past four seasons. Texas went 8-4 this season and lost the Big 12 title to Baylor in the final game of the regular season. The 62-year-old Brown will finish his Texas career in the Alamo Bowl against Oregon on Dec. 30. “It’s been a wonderful ride. Now, the program is again being pulled in different directions, and I think the time is right for a change,” Brown said. “I love the University of Texas, all of its supporters, the great fans and everyone that played and coached here. … It is the best coaching job and the premier football program in America. “I sincerely want to get back to the top and that’s why I’m stepping down after the bowl game. I hope with some new energy, we can get this thing rolling again,” Brown said. Brown led the Longhorns through a run of dominance from 2001-2009 when Texas went 101-16, won two Big 12 titles and twice played for the national championship. He has 158 victories at Texas, No. 2 behind the late Darrell Royal, who won 167 in 20 seasons with the Longhorns. Brown is 244-121-1 overall in 29 years as a head coach. “This is a very difficult day for everyone in the University of Texas family,” Texas President Bill Powers said. “Mack Brown is one of the best football coaches in the country.” The school scheduled a news conference Sunday for Brown, and to discuss a search for his replacement to take over after the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio. Brown’ only losing season at Texas was in 2010, when the Longhorns fell to 5-7 after playing for the 2009 season national championship. But Brown’s inability to win more Big 12 championships — Oklahoma won or shared eight league titles from 2000-2012 — and four straight years of at least four losses fractured the fan base and prompted calls for his departure. Texas expected a return to national prominence in 2013 behind a team that returned 19 starters. Even Brown talked up his chances to compete for a national championship again. But Texas started 1-2 to rekindle dissatisfaction that would fester all season, particularly after revelations that in January, several members of the school’s board of regents and a prominent donor were involved in efforts to lure Alabama coach Nick Saban to the Longhorns. The possibility that Texas could hire Saban to take over for Brown ended Friday night when Alabama announced it had agreed to a contract extension with its coach. Texas’ announcement that Brown would retire came less than 24 hours later. Brown was considered the perfect fit at Texas when the Longhorns hired him to replace the divisive John Mackovic. The affable Brown immediately won over Longhorns fans at his introductory news conference when he flashed the traditional “Hook’em Horns” sign and urged fans to “come early, be loud and stay late.” In Brown, the Longhorns found a kindred spirit — a bootwearing Southerner, accent

PERMACULTURE IN PRACTICE

In Texas and N.M., a tale of two drought strategies By Nate Downey For The New Mexican

hen Texas voters approved a $2 billion expenditure for water projects, you’d think that attendees at the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association conference in Austin would have been thrilled. It was the first time that the relatively young association had teamed up with the longestablished Irrigation Association for a conference. Simply put, the trade show flooded the Austin Convention Center. Even among the truckmounted water artillery, the mega-pumping-station demonstration videos, and the center-pivot-irrigation billboards, water conservation was on the tip of everybody’s

tongue — especially over at the rainwater pavilion. “Now is the time to take a better look at the resources we get from the sky,” said Mark Pape, director of the Texas Rainwater Catchment Association. “Water harvesting is a viable tool when communities start costing the long-term maintenance of dredging lakes and reservoirs.” Surrounded by a forest of filters, pumps, tanks, pipes and gauges, Pape’s eyes widened. “Silt and other forms of pollution are very expensive to remove from traditional surface-water supplies. “It’s also expensive to treat and pump water from far away. Why not prevent our existing surface-water supplies from silting up — especially when we create an additional go-to, localized water supply at the

same time? If any government wants to get the most for its money, it should support the small businesses that are at the cutting edge of water harvesting,” explained Pape, a CPA who is also the chairman of the board of a company called H2Options. As much as he was an inspiration, Pape also told me not to get excited about the recent vote. “If anything, it’ll hurt rainwater harvesting, since the state’s focus now will be on large infrastructure projects.” In contrast, here in New Mexico, forward-thinking state legislators such as Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, have some creative, sensible and locally oriented plans in mind. Wirth is talking about at least two measures — in the nascent billdrafting stages, still far from the

governor’s desk — that would promote water harvesting. Both would have a profound positive impact for homeowners as well as for the state’s water supply. One measure would create a tax credit for residential and commercial property owners who install cistern systems. At press time, Wirth was thinking that the refund would be capped at $5,000 and pay for up to 20 percent of a rainwaterharvesting system. The other idea is to figure out a way to jump-start Wirth’s successful 2006 effort that allowed for the creation of energy districts. These districts would have financed solar-panel installations across New Mexico. Although the bill passed and was signed by Gov. Bill Richardson, nothing

materialized because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came out against the law. Now that Fanny and Freddie have been weakened by the 2008 crash, is now the time to allow energy districts to be created? If so, Wirth has started to ask, why not create water districts for water harvesting systems? Texas is known for being big, thinking big, doing big things. Too bad for the Lone Star State that small is often beautiful when it comes to the economics of 21st-century water systems.

A holiday gift for Earth — LED lights

Better to use a handyman or contractor? By Angie Hicks McClatchy Newspapers

By Brian Palmer

Special to The Washington Post

hom should you hire: handyman or general contractor? The answer largely depends on the scope of the work. If you need help with a honey-do list, consider a handyman or handywoman. If the project is rather complex, consider a contractor. A general contractor and a handyman may offer similar abilities, but in general, the handyman focuses on smaller jobs that can be done in a few hours, a day or a couple of days. A contractor typically manages larger projects that require significant coordination over weeks or months. Specialized trades, such as plumber or electrician, require specific training and, in most states, a license. If you hire someone who isn’t appropriately licensed or trained and experienced, you could end up with problems, including eventually having to pay to have work redone to meet local code requirements. Someone with a general contractor’s license may be your best bet to manage a project that requires extensive time, specialized machinery and multiple workers with varying levels of expertise and licensure requirements, such as a kitchen remodel or home addition. A qualified handyman, though, can often tackle in one visit several smaller projects that don’t require special training or licensing. Some handyman businesses employ licensed electricians or other pros, or feature an owner or manager with a general contractor’s license. These companies will have more flexibility to handle a wider range of jobs. Handymen can be less expensive to hire, in part because they usually have less overhead. They often charge by the day or hour. Be aware that some states restrict how much work a handyman can do. California, for example, limits handymen to $500 worth of work per day. The cost to hire a handyman can range from $50 to $400, depending on the scope of the job and how long it takes. A general contractor, meanwhile, should be comfortable handling projects costing thousands of dollars. Before hiring a handyman or contractor, get multiple bids and confirm that the person you hire is appropriately licensed, insured and bonded. Be wary of a handyman or contractor who seeks full payment before starting work. Ask for a written agreement that details the job, cost and payment schedule, and get guarantees in writing.

trands of lights are ubiquitous this time of year — tangled in leafless trees, framing windows, sparkling their way to Santa’s sled. They are a beaming reminder of both the warm feelings of the holiday season and the environmental costs of this time of hyper-consumption. In 2003, a paper published by the Department of Energy estimated that holiday lights accounted for 2.22 terawatt-hours of energy use per year in the United States, which roughly equals the energy consumed by 200,000 homes annually. With numbers like that, coal may be the best thing to stuff in your neighbor’s twinkling stocking. He may need it. Fortunately, Christmas lights have gradually switched over to LED in recent years. They are up to 90 percent more efficient than old-fashioned incandescent bulbs. So, should you trash your old holiday blinkers for their LED counterpart? From an environmental perspective, it’s rarely advisable to discard something that works and replace it with an energy-efficient version, since the energy required to produce your new bauble is often greater than the savings it offers once you use it. It wouldn’t make sense, for example, to trash a perfectly good sedan to buy a new Toyota Prius: Producing a car takes a lot of energy, and hybrids are only about twice as energy-efficient as conventional engines. Holiday lights, however, are an exception to the rule. A new strand of LEDs will last four or five decades, possibly the rest of your life, depending on how long you leave them on (and how long you live). They’re also less likely to start a fire, which is important when you’re wrapping them around a bundle of kindling like a Christmas tree. If you’re still harboring an old strand of incandescent lights, the Earth begs you to ditch it and go for the LEDs. (If it’s one of those multicolored, flashing strands, your neighbors would probably second the motion.) Of course, there are more extreme options for electricity grinches. When I was a child, my favorite tree adornment was a string of popcorn. Making such a thread is a fun family activity, and you can sneak a few kernels for yourself in the process. Is it greener than a strand of lights, though? To make this comparison, we’ll have to make some assumptions. It’s hard to say how much embedded energy is in a strand of Christmas lights. However, since the lights will last 40 or 50 years, that embedded energy comes very close to

A new strand of LEDs will last four or five decades, possibly the rest of your life, depending on how long you leave them on (and how long you live).

zero on a yearly average. The only energy we have to attribute to the lights is the electricity, which, for a strand of larger LEDs, is 2.5 watts. If you run them four hours per day for 30 days, that means 0.3 kilowatt-hours over the course of a season. According to EPA conversion data, generating that much electricity would emit 0.44 pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents. (A carbon dioxide equivalent is all the greenhouse gases emitted, expressed in terms of the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.) Now for the popcorn. There’s very little popcorn-specific environmental data, but the variety of corn commonly grown for popping is closely related to the corn used in cornmeal. So if we just use generic corn data, our estimates will be close enough. According to researchers at the University of Massachusetts, cultivating an acre of corn generates approximately 1,700 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. The average farm produces 155 bushels of corn per acre. Since a bushel of shelled corn weighs approximately 56 pounds, there are around 0.2 pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents embedded in a pound of corn by the time it leaves the farm gate. For most foods, transporting, processing and cooking account for slightly more than the amount of greenhouse gas emitted during cultivation and harvest. So let’s say a pound of popcorn — which is probably enough to trim a medium-size tree — would result in the production of just under a half-pound of carbon dioxide equivalents. In other words, from an environmental perspective, there’s very little difference between trimming your tree with a pound of popcorn and using a strand of LED lights. That may seem surprising, since natural, farm-raised popcorn just feels greener than manufactured lights. But details make a difference. Oldfashioned incandescent lights would be far, far worse for the environment: They use 10 times as much electricity as LEDs and don’t last nearly as long. You’ll also need to store your LEDs properly and turn them off when no one will see them anyway. Of course, if you have a few extra lights, you can’t eat the leftovers.

‘Tsk’ force report

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013: This year you often feel as if others come on a little too strong. Understand that you are not going to change them, but you can establish your boundaries. As a result, mutual respect will grow. If you are single, you initially might be put off by a potential suitor’s assertiveness. Learn to deal with this energy if you feel a strong connection between you. If you are attached, the two of you have played many control games. The only way to win is not to play. After all, you are with the one you love. Gemini is a good source of information. 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 have a lot to do, yet you seem to enjoy the pace. You also have a lot of energy. Your playfulness and quick wit come out with family and friends once you take care of your responsibilities. Tonight: Hang up the mistletoe. This Week: Whether it is you or someone else who is ready to explode, detach quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Be aware of a possessive streak that a loved one sometimes inadvertently triggers. Go out and get some fresh air, which might involve tagging a tree and bringing it home. When you’re away from the source of these uncomfortable feelings, you gain. Tonight: Order in. This Week: Try to steer away from crowds and difficult people until Thursday. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You will be in the moment. Try not to be so extravagant when choosing a gift for a special person. A loved one could be demanding. Fortunately, you have a way of juggling your schedule to make nearly everyone happy. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live now. This Week: Let go of your irritation at others’ efforts to get attention. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Slow down and take some time to relax and enjoy being with your family. A discussion about some holiday details will help make the next few weeks run smoothly. A loved one could be difficult and testy. This person just wants more of you. Tonight: Do something just

Last Week’s answers

for you. This Week: Unexpected developments on Tuesday force you to regroup. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You don’t need the holidays to make you smile — you just need people. You like being on center stage and socializing. Whether you are starting the party or just attending, you are in your element. Invite relatives to join you for a late brunch. Tonight: Where people are. This Week: When you witness the unexpected, go right in and get what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH A friend or family member’s request for you to join him or her for brunch might be too appealing to say “no” to. You often feel pressured by this person, but recognize that you have a choice. Make time to enjoy some of the holiday season’s frills. Tonight: You could go on and on. This Week: You might feel caught in the midst of a difficult situation. Say little. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You seem to be in the right place at the right time. Get away from the hectic pace and everything that surrounds you, at least for a little while. A friend might open you up to a new perspective because of a conversation. Tonight: Refreshed, anything becomes possible. This Week: Reach out to someone you care about and express your feelings.

Chess quiz

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Work with someone directly. This person might demand that you be an active partner in something you both are involved in. An unexpected event could distract you from doing as much as he or she would like. Be ready for a reaction. Tonight: You do not have to explain. This Week: You really shouldn’t be surprised if someone flips his or her lid. SAGITTARIUS(Nov.22-Dec.21) HHHH Others could be belligerent in declaring that they will do what they want without first discussing it with you. You might be in the mood to pressure someone who has made a decision of this nature. Tonight: In the moment. This Week: Others must dominate; let them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Use the daylight hours to the max. Pretend that you are Santa as you go off to complete your holiday shopping list. Even you, who tends to be inordinately practical, might be in the mood to do a little extra spending. Tonight: Get some muchneeded R and R. This Week: You are instrumental in helping others center themselves. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You could turn a boring project into a happening. Wrap several presents, and your imagination will perk up. Live in the realm of possibilities for a little while. Tonight: Your inner child emerges. This Week: Your playfulness could cause a problem or a misunderstanding. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might need to distance yourself from others. Cancel some plans. You give so much that you often forget to take care of yourself. What would make you feel rested? Tonight: Stay home. This Week: Try going on a mini-vacation Tuesday and Wednesday.

en have long stood accused being the insidious architects behind “slut shaming”: the enforcement of cultural standards of modesty for women. But a recent study suggests this is untrue. It concluded that women themselves are to blame. Gina Barreca asked to join me here, no doubt to apologize on behalf of all feminists for this egregious, decades-long calumny against an entire gender. Gina: Tell them how the study was conducted. Gene: Pairs of college-age women were brought into a room and told they were participating in a discussion about female friendships. The real experiment occurred when another woman, extremely attractive, briefly entered Gene the room, ostensibly to ask directions. Weingarten Sometimes, this woman had her long blonde hair in a bun and was dressed in The Washington pants, a polo shirt and sensible shoes. Post At other times, her hair was down and she wore high leather boots, a miniskirt and a tight-fitting top that bared oodles of cleavage. Same request for directions. Researchers in the room graded how the test subjects reacted to the visitor. When demurely dressed, the woman elicited no comment at all. When provocatively dressed, she was snidely dissed, particularly after she left. The study’s conclusion: Driven by Darwinian instinct to mate, women are ganging up on, and punishing, someone who is a competitive threat. Gina: Now please disclose the official name of the scale the researchers used to measure the subjects‚ reactions. Gene: “Bitchiness.” Gina:Exactly. This is a study begun with a bias against women, carried out with a bias against women, and interpreted with a bias against women. It is extrapolating wildly from the trivial. Describe the behavior that earned “bitchiness” points. Gene: Sometimes derogatory comments, but mostly body language. Eye-rolling. Gina: Eye-rolling! The shame of it all! Women are serial eye-rollers! Now look at the photo of the woman, dressed provocatively. Gene: I am. Gina:What can you conclude? Gene: I’m still looking. Gina:Noted. I’ll save you time. What’s happening here is that women, once again, are being punished for daring to be “unladylike,” violating rules of society set by men. Women are not supposed to express robust negative opinions. We are permitted, perhaps, a single tsk. You know what happened in that room? Women are justifiably indicating disapproval, because the revealing outfit is situationally inappropriate. She is dressed like the Naughty Nurse in a cheap porn video. To imply this is somehow related to a matter of competition for men is inane and phallocentric. Gentlemen, it’s not always about you. For example, you yourself have in the past wondered why women go to great lengths to avoid visible panty lines. Why does that seem counterintuitive to you? Gene: Men love visible panty lines. Gina: A reasonable point, if women dressed for men. We don’t. We dress for other women. And we know that visible panty lines serve as a demarcation for where our butts are supposed to end, but don’t. We hate VPL. Gene: So you are contending that the snideness shown by the subjects in this experiment was unconnected to sexual competition? Gina: I am. And you? Gene: I think what happened was exactly what would happen if a group of men were out deer hunting, and a guy showed up with an AK-47. Gina: (Rolls eyes.)
