Hospital union planning to picket

Workers accuse Christus St. Vincent of bad-faith negotiations

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

One week after the contract expired between Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and the union representing nearly 500 of its nurses and medical technicians, talks between the two sides are at a standstill over a staffing level dispute, and the union plans to picket the hospital beginning Monday.

In a letter to the hospital’s attorney Wednesday, New Mexico District 1199 of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees threatened to file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing Christus St. Vincent of negotiating in bad faith since the contract expired at midnight July 31.

Hospital spokesman Arturo Delgado denied the accusation. He said the hospital is abiding by the law and continuing to negotiate with the union through a federal mediator.

“Christus St. Vincent is committed to bargaining in good faith,” Delgado said Wednesday. “We have responded to the union’s latest proposal through a federal mediator and are looking forward to their response.”

Union President Fonda Osborn scoffed at the hospital’s stance.

“We’ve given them two proposals since we rejected theirs. They have given us nothing. They’ve refused to extend our contract, and now they’re not meeting with us,” Osborn said. “I don’t know how else to interpret it.”

Voting members of the union twice rejected the hospital’s contract proposals. In one of its offers, the hospital expressed a commitment

MISSION, Texas — Along the Rio Grande, the suspected smugglers trying to slip into the United States have certainly noticed their adversaries on the water: burly commandos in black-and-white boats mounted with .30-caliber machine guns and bulletproof shields.

Dems call for open primaries in N.M. The New Mexican

venues reached capacity Saturday night, and there was plenty of activity the other two nights.

The festival was made possible by a nearly $4,000 grant from the city of Santa Fe to help stimulate the nighttime economy.

While people crowded the downtown bars, very few rode the free shuttles. City spokesman Andrew Phelps said there were only about 20 passengers in all during the nearly 48 hours of shuttle service between Thursday and Saturday.

City buses normally stop running at 9 or 10 p.m., but during Night Wave, some buses ran until 2:30 a.m.

Two lawmakers, both Albuquerque Democrats, plan to announce Thursday that they will introduce legislation that would open New Mexico’s primary elections to independent voters.

Currently, only voters registered with the major political parties can participate in the publicly funded elections, excluding the growing number of voters who decline to state a party affiliation when they register.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Gary King said this week that he personally has no problem with opening up the primaries — even though his office has asked to intervene in a pending lawsuit in order to defend the state law that prohibits independents from taking part in primaries, which determine which candidates appear on general election ballots.

“It’s my job as attorney general to defend state laws as being constitutional,” King said Monday. “But personally I’m not opposed to allowing independents to vote in primaries.”

King is the Democratic nominee for governor, running against Republican incumbent Susana Martinez in the Nov. 4 general election.

State Sen. Bill O’Neill and state Rep. Emily Kane are scheduled to announce their planned legislation at a news conference in Albuquerque’s Yale Park.

“As a Democrat, I have confidence

rganizers and city officials believe last week’s three-night, $4,000 experiment to inject some adrenaline into the city’s drowsy nightlife was mostly successful.

Only 20 people made use of the free shuttles, and a couple of food trucks were unable to set up, but Night Wave’s five participating downtown bars reported they were busy during the festival, held from Thursday to Saturday.

Joe Ray Sandoval, owner and manager of Skylight, a new club

at 139 W. San Francisco St., said about 600 people came through the venue’s doors Saturday.

More encouraging, he said, was that there were “a whole bunch of different people, and there were a lot of them.”

Over the three nights, bands played, buskers performed on street corners and food vendors sold street fare in the area near Don Gaspar Avenue and West San Francisco Street.

Night Wave organizer Vince Kadlubek called the event “a tremendous success.”

“People said it felt like an entirely new town,” he said.

Experimental Ebola drug raising ethical questions Experts: Debate over treatment may distract from proven measures

to do” about whatever supplies eventually may become available of a medicine that’s never been tested in people.

At least one country involved in the outbreak is interested in the drug. Nigeria’s health minister, Onyenbuchi Chukwu, said at a news conference that he had asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about access.

CDC Director Tom Frieden “conveyed there are virtually no doses available” but that basic supportive care can work, a CDC spokesman said Wednesday.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The use of an experimental drug to treat two Americans diagnosed with Ebola is raising ethical questions about who gets first access to unproven new therapies for the deadly disease.

But some health experts fear debate over extremely limited doses will distract from tried-and-true measures to curb the growing outbreak — things like more rapidly identifying and isolating the sick.

The World Health Organization is convening a meeting of medical ethicists next week to examine what it calls “the responsible thing

In brief WASHINGTON — Nearly 10 million Americans decided they would be a different race or ethnicity in the early 2000s, with the largest movement coming from Hispanics deciding which racial category they should be in, a new census report showed Wednesday.

The report showed that 1 in 16 people — or approximately 9.8 million of 162 million — who responded to both the 2000 and 2010 censuses gave different answers when it came to race and ethnicity.

The largest change was from Hispanic (some other race) to Hispanic white, with 2.38 million people making that change on their census forms.

But the next greatest change was from Hispanic white to Hispanic (some other race), with 1.2 million people deciding that designation fit them better. Put together, these two changes make up more than a third — 37 percent — of the race/ethnicity changes in the report.

On health exchange, AIDS patients fear discrimination

Scientist predicts plenty of surprises ahead for probe

MIAMI — Health advocates allege some insurance plans under the new federal health law are discriminating against HIV and AIDS patients by requiring them to pay a percentage of costly medications instead of a flat co-pay, essentially pricing the medications out of reach.

The AIDS Institute says some insurers are also requiring new drug authorization or making the claims process difficult to impede access to services.

The group filed a complaint with U.S. Health and Human Services officials last month against four Florida insurance companies alleging they’re discouraging HIV consumers from choosing those plans.

Advocates elsewhere are considering similar complaints. They say they’re seeing similar problems with some exchange plans in Ohio, California, Illinois and other states..

DARMSTADT, Germany urning what seemed like a science fiction tale into reality, an unmanned probe swung alongside a comet on Wednesday after a 4-billion mile chase through outer space over the course of a decade.

Europe’s Rosetta probe will orbit and study the giant lump of dust and ice as it hurtles toward the sun and, if all goes according to plan, drop a lander onto the comet in the coming months.

Rosetta turned up as planned for its rendezvous with comet 67P/ChuryumovGerasimenko somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The incredible trip, launched on March 2, 2004, marks a milestone in mankind’s effort to understand the mysterious ‘shooting stars’ that periodically flash past Earth.

While the moon, Mars and even asteroids have been visited, no spacecraft has yet gotten so close to a comet. Having achieved this feat, Rosetta will go one step further and drop a lander on 67P’s icy surface — a maneuver planned for November.

“You can compare what we’ve done so far to finding a speck of dust in a big city,” said Gerhard Schwehm, who was lead scientist on the Rosetta mission until his recent retirement.

To catch their quarry, scientists at the European Space Agency had to overcome a series of hurdles that included

Car bombs kill 51 in Shiite Baghdad neighborhoods BAGHDAD — A string of car bombs tore through busy shopping streets in several Baghdad neighborhoods on Wednesday night, killing 51 people as the army announced that one of its airstrikes had killed 60 militants in the northern city of Mosul.

The attacks came as state-run television announced a rare government victory with an airstrike against a key building in Mosul that killed some 60 suspected militants earlier in the day.

The report said the strike freed about 300 people held by the Islamic State group at a downtown Mosul prison it had been using as a religious court and detention center.

Earthquake death toll rises to nearly 600 in China BEIJING — The death toll from an earthquake that struck Yunnan province in southwestern China on Sunday has jumped to 589 as rescuers reached isolated villages and recovered the bodies of 179 more victims, state media reported Wednesday. Officials said at least nine people remained missing.

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.1, injured nearly 2,900 people and destroyed more than 12,000 homes in the poor, mountainous region.

a last-minute change of destination — after a carrier rocket failure delayed launch — and a tense hibernation period of 31 months during which the probe was out of contact with ground stations.

Before Rosetta swung alongside 67P with a final thrust Wednesday, the spacecraft also had to accelerate to 34,000 mph.

Underlining the singular achievement, ESA’s directorgeneral Jean-Jacques Dordain told scientists and spectators at the mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany: “This is your only chance to have a rendezvous with a comet.”

Rosetta will now spend several months observing 67P from a safe distance of up to 60 miles. This will give scientists time to find a safe place to land Rosetta’s sidekick, Philae.

This maneuver will pose an unprecedented challenge because there will be no second shot.

sible” with only a slim chance of success.

Even if the landing fails, Rosetta itself will remain in the comet’s orbit until at least the end of 2015, gathering reams of data with its 11 on-board sensors. As 67P gets closer to the sun it will begin to fizz and release the cloud of dust and ice that most people associate with comets.

“We’re going to have a ringside seat to see a comet turn into a comet, to develop its tail and explain what for centuries mankind has been puzzled by,” said David Southwood, a former president of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Overall, scientists hope the $1.74 billion mission will help them learn more about the origins of comets, stars, planets and maybe even life on Earth, he said.

Mark McCaughrean, a senior scientific advisor at ESA, predicted plenty of surprises ahead.

“With this comet, every time we see a new image the jaws drop,” he said.

NEW YORK — With the recent news that a Russian hacker ring has amassed some 1.2 billion username and password combinations, it’s a good time to review ways to protect yourself online.

The hacking misdeeds were described in a New York Times story based on the findings of Hold Security, a Milwaukee firm that has a history of uncovering online security breaches.

Hold Security told the Times that the data was pilfered from some 420,000 websites and is “the largest known collection of stolen Internet credentials.”

If there’s reason to believe your information might have been compromised, change your passwords immediately. One of the best things you can do is to make sure your new passwords are strong. Here are seven ways to fortify them: u Make your password long. The recommended minimum is eight characters, but 14 is better and 25 is even better than that. u Use combinations of letters and numbers, upper and lower case and symbols such as the exclamation mark. u Avoid words that are in dictionaries, even if you add numbers and symbols. There are programs that can crack passwords by going through databases of known words. u Substitute characters. For instance, use the number zero instead of the letter O, or replace the S with a dollar sign. u Avoid easy-to-guess words, even if they aren’t in the dictionary. You shouldn’t use your name, company name or hometown, for instance. u Never reuse passwords on other accounts.

The exception is to log in using a centralized sign-on service such as Facebook Connect. Hulu, for instance, gives you the option of using your Facebook username and password instead of creating a separate one for the video site. u Some services such as Gmail even give you the option of using two passwords when you use a particular computer or device for the first time.

If you have that feature turned on, the service will send a text message with a six-digit code to your phone when you try to use Gmail from an unrecognized device.

You’ll need to enter that for access, and then the code expires.

It’s optional, and it’s a pain — but it could save you from grief later on.

Hackers won’t be able to access the account without possessing your phone. Turn it on by going to the account’s security settings.

Bergdahl talks to Army about Taliban capture

Insider attacks target Afghan police KABUL, Afghanistan — Two attacks by Afghan police officers who were collaborating with the Taliban claimed the lives of 11 police officers in Afghanistan on Wednesday, officials reported. News of the so-called insider attacks came as authorities were still grappling with the assassination one day earlier of a U.S. general by an Afghan soldier.

In one attack, a police officer secretly working for the Taliban poisoned five colleagues at a compound in southern Afghanistan, then invited insurgents inside to shoot the stricken officers to death and steal their weapons, the officials said.

Gulab Khan, the provincial head of criminal investigations, said the other assault targeted a national police checkpoint on the outskirts of Tarin Kowt, the capital of Uruzgan province, where Taliban fighters

killed the guard on duty, then executed five others as they slept. One officer, believed to be in league with the insurgents, escaped with the militant fighters, according to Doost Mohammad Nayab, the spokesman for the provincial governor.

“If we have local police who are easily switching to the Taliban, soon the aftermath will pose a big threat to the Afghan government,” Nayab said.

The assaults on the police came a day after an attack by an Afghan soldier on highranking U.S. and Afghan officers that killed Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, the first U.S. Army general killed in an overseas conflict since the Vietnam War. The soldier opened fire at the country’s premier military academy on the outskirts of Kabul, wounding at least 15 others before he was killed.

ers, criticized the prisoner exchange, or said the sergeant should face punishment. Those critics say he voluntarily walked off base and that he put men assigned to search for him — through a rugged, Talibaninfested region — in harm’s way.

Fidell has refused to describe Bergdahl’s own account of his disappearance, and on Wednesday he declined to say what his client told Dahl.

An earlier AR 15-6 investigation into Bergdahl’s disappearance, conducted by another Army officer, painted a critical portrait of poor discipline within his unit, and blamed the unit and chain of command for inadequately securing the area around the outpost, two U.S. officials briefed on the classified report said in June.

The revelation of details of that report two months ago enraged some critics of Bergdahl, who suggested details were leaked to discredit soldiers who had publicly criticized him.

Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale Law School, declined to comment on the earlier military investigation. He also released pictures he took Tuesday in which the sergeant appeared to be fit and trim, with a short haircut.

Fidell said that Bergdahl “had suffered some physical shortcomings during the course of his military service,” which Fidell declined to describe, but that he was “fundamentally healthy.”

During his first interview with the general leading an investigation into his capture by the Taliban, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl on Wednesday described details of his disappearance from his tiny combat outpost in eastern Afghanistan five years ago.

It was the first time Bergdahl, of the Army, had formally described those events since he was released by the Taliban to special operations troops in May and flown to Texas after five years of captivity.

As soon as the session began, the investigating officer, Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, warned Bergdahl that he did not have to say anything that might incriminate himself. But the sergeant did not exercise his right to remain silent, one of his lawyers, Eugene R. Fidell, said in a brief telephone interview from Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where Bergdahl is based.

“He has responded to every question asked of him, and he has been afforded an opportunity to tell his story,” said Fidell, who attended the interview along with a military lawyer for the sergeant, Capt. Alfredo Foster. It was mostly “just letting the facts unfold in his own voice.”

“It has been a combination of a conversation and a narrative, and it has been entirely nonconfrontational,” Fidell added.

He said that Dahl was “a skilled interviewer, and he immediately put everyone in the room at ease.”

The Army appointed Dahl to carry out what is known as an AR 15-6 investigation and compile a report on the disappearance of Bergdahl, 28. The report will be sent up the chain of command, and it could lead to administrative or nonjudicial punishments, or court-martial.

Superior officers could also conclude that no punishments are warranted.

The circumstances of Bergdahl’s disappearance on June 30, 2009 — when he was assigned to the 2nd Platoon, Blackfoot Company, of the 1st Battalion, 501st Regiment — turned into a political controversy after the Taliban released him in late May, following President Barack Obama’s agreement to release five Taliban detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Easter Seals sues state over withheld Medicaid funds

By Trip Jennings New Mexico In Depth

A behavioral health organization battling state fraud allegations is accusing the state of acting in bad faith by “improperly withholding” more than half a million dollars the provider contends it is owed.

In a lawsuit filed in District Court in Santa Fe this week, Easter Seals El Mirador asked a judge to order the state Human Services Department to release the funds, saying it was cleared of fraud allegations by the Attorney General’s Office in late April only to have the department ask the attorney general in

July to reopen the investigation.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, represents the latest twist in a situation that has upended the state’s behavioral health care system.

It also threatens to become electionyear fodder. Attorney General Gary King, a Democrat, hopes to unseat Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, in this year’s November gubernatorial election.

According to the lawsuit, when Easter Seals was initially cleared of fraud allegations by the attorney general, it expected Human Services to release $671,000 in Medicaid money the state had been withholding from the

Dems: GOP against open primaries Continued from Page A-1 in our message and do not see the downside in inviting independents to participate in our primary,” O’Neill said in an email Wednesday. “We are not talking about Republicans voting in Dem primaries and vice versa. … We are simply inviting unaffiliated voters to become engaged in our civic process, whichever party primary they ultimately choose.”

O’Neill also said, “If one is satisfied with a 20.2 percent turnout of registered New Mexico voters — the figure from our recent June primary — then this legislative initiative will seem unnecessary.

However, if you think that encouraging voter participation is a good thing, and acknowledge that virtually 20 percent of our registered electorate are ‘unaffiliated’ voters, especially among those under 35, then you will understand the reasoning behind this legislative initiative.”

O’Neill and Kane will be joined by Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Oliver, a Democrat who is running for secretary of state. She said Wednesday that she supports the idea of opening primaries to voters not affiliated with the major parties.

“I firmly believe that our democracy is strongest when the widest, most diverse array of voices are heard at the ballot box and that’s why I support opening New Mexico’s primaries to voters not affiliated with a major party,” she said in a written statement. “I look forward to working with the legislature to ensure that any changes to current election law are fully vetted and reach the goal of providing greater access to the ballot box for more New Mexicans.”

Oliver is named as a defendant in the same lawsuit in which King wants to intervene.

It was filed by an Albuquerque voter who was turned away during the primary election because he is registered as “declined-to-state.”

While the idea of open primaries seems to be gaining practice among Democrats, the state Republican Party is against the idea.

State GOP Chairman John Billingsley said in a statement, “Clear differences exist between both major parties in the U.S. and they reflect the views of their membership of registered voters. … Parties advance ideals and principles that their membership can coalesce around. This membership creates candidates who work to be elected leaders.

Open primaries dilute party principles.

“Independents may register with the party that most suits them, and vote,” Billingsley said. “Alternatively, independents may have a candidate sign-up after the primary to run as an independent in the general election.”

In 2012, Rep. Andy Nuñez of Hatch, who at the time was the lone independent in the Legislature, went before the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee with a proposed constitutional amendment to allow unaffiliated voters to vote in primaries. The committee voted unanimously — Democrats and Republicans — to table the measure, effectively killing it.

O’Neill said he would have voted in favor of Nuñez’s proposal. He also said one Democrat who voted against it has changed his mind on the issue and will be at Thursday’s news conference to speak in favor of open primaries.

Picket: Staffing remains contentious Continued from Page A-1 to a minimum staffing level, but the proposal included no procedure to enforce that. After the union rejected that offer, the hospital reverted to an earlier proposal that includes no language about staffing levels.

Staffing has been the chief point of contention between the hospital and the union. The union has argued that more nurses and techs on staff would advance the hospital’s goal of improving patient satisfaction.

The hospital’s leaders, however, insist that adding staff won’t increase patient outcomes.

The union wants a contract that defines staffing level minimums at the 50th percentile of similar hospitals. That’s up from an earlier union proposal of reaching the 40th percentile of staffing at comparable hospitals. In its current offer, the union has proposed to give up 5 percent in incentive pay offered by the hospital.

Instead, the union wants the money to be spent on increased staffing.

The union has pitched two proposals to the hospital since the contract expired, according to Osborn. She said they

include some concessions, such as backing off a request to limit nurses’ shifts to 16 consecutive hours. Meanwhile, she said, there has been no movement from the hospital.

“They’ve stayed put,” Osborn said. “They’re saying they’ll entertain other proposals, but we’ve given them two so far, and they won’t bargain.”

Although the frustration was evident in her voice, and Osborn confirmed the union’s leaders are “madder than ever,” for the time being the union has no plans to issue a strike notice, she said.

“We hope at some point in time they’ll sit down and talk to us and see if we can figure this all out,” Osborn said. “Otherwise, we’re proceeding with our pedal to the metal.”

For now, that means picketing the hospital. Osborn said the union plans to demonstrate from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday and continue the action for two or more days.

“I’m hoping the hospital will find the picket to be enough of a disruption to get their attention and let them know that they’ve got a lot of work to do to regain the community’s trust,” Osborn said.

company since June 2013. Easter Seals is one of 15 organizations the state accused of Medicaid fraud last year.

But instead, the agency decided to refile its fraud complaint with the Attorney General’s Office.

A Human Services spokesman said in July that the agency believed King’s investigators used incorrect criteria to determine if Easter Seals’ billings for specific services were possibly fraudulent.

On Wednesday, spokesman Matt Kennicott said, “Easter Seals has had fraud problems internally for some time now. This is nothing more than a lawsuit that is intended to distract the

public from the real issue at hand.”

Of the 14 other organizations accused in the Medicaid fraud case, one other, The Counseling Center of Alamogordo, was cleared of fraud by the Attorney General’s Office this year.

The Human Services Department accused the 15 organizations of fraud in June 2013 following an audit

by Massachusetts-based PCG Inc., which identified potential overbilling practices. The department froze the organization’s Medicaid funding and forwarded the audit and other documentation to the Attorney General’s Office and other agencies, including

the FBI, for investigation. The attorney general’s investigation is ongoing.

Only portions of the PCG audit have been released, including sections related to Easter Seals El Mirador and The Counseling Center. The bulk of the audit remains secret. New Mexico In Depth and the Las Cruces Sun-News sued the Human Services Department last year in state court demanding the public release of the audit and have a hearing scheduled for later this month.

Navajo Nation officials seek to improve all its airports

In brief State offers temporary amnesty for unpaid child support Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration is offering temporary amnesty for parents facing possible arrest for unpaid child support, but an enforcement crackdown will start at the end of the month targeting those who don’t take advantage of the program.

The governor announced Wednesday that individuals can visit a state Child Support Enforcement Division office without fear of arrest and pay a bond to cancel outstanding bench warrants for not paying child support.

Efforts will be made to negotiate a payment plan for those who can’t afford the full bond amount.

The amnesty runs through Aug. 29, but police will start a sweep for people with arrest warrants during the final week of the month.

A list of parents with outstanding bench warrants is posted on a state website, http://bit.ly/1zUrAQb.

Governor issues order to provide emergency aid for flooding Gov. Susana Martinez has issued an executive order that provides up to $750,000 in emergency aid to help deal with recent flooding.

The emergency declaration Wednesday also authorizes the use of National Guard troops to provide assistance.

Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell said no troops have been dispatched.

County commissions in Rio Arriba, Taos, Sandoval and Guadalupe counties have issued emergency declarations because of flooding from recent heavy rains.

The state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will coordinate requests for assistance.

N.M. endowments generate $779M for operation, education New Mexico’s permanent funds will generate nearly $779 million to pay for government operations and education this year.

State Investment Officer Steve Moise told a legislative committee Tuesday the endowment funds have assets of nearly $20 billion and would make record distributions, about $60 million more than last year.

The Land Grant Permanent Fund will provide $596 million for public schools and 20 other public institutions, including universities.

The Severance Tax Permanent Fund will generate almost $183 million for the state’s main budget account.

Moise said the funds should provide about $845 million in the 2016 fiscal year if investment performance holds.

Authorities ID man fatally shot

by Bernalillo County deputy ALBUQUERQUE — Authorities have identified a suspect who was fatally shot after he repeatedly rammed a Bernalillo County Sheriff’s patrol vehicle and threatened a deputy.

Sheriff’s officials say 28-year-old Manuel Flores had a criminal history that included previous charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless driving and battery on a household member.

They say Flores had his hands in the air as if celebrating after he twice rammed the patrol vehicle Monday evening and almost ran over his girlfriend.

SHIPROCK — Navajo Nation officials say the tribe’s five airports are ready for some much-needed improvements.

The Farmington Daily Times reported Tuesday that the Navajo Division of Transportation is developing a master plan to identify infrastructure and security issues that need addressing.

Transportation program manager Arlando Teller says all the tribal-run airports have been underutilized and underdeveloped.

The tribe operates two airports in New Mexico as well as three in Arizona.

Officials are using a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration to finance the planning, which includes establishing each airport’s layout and funding resources.

Congressional hearing addresses veterans’ health care issues ROSWELL — Steps are being taken to improve access to health care for veterans across the country, but some members of Congress said Wednesday that more needs to be done when it comes to providing mental health care for rural veterans.

Republican Congressman Jeff Miller of Florida visited Roswell to lead a field hearing for the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. The panel included U.S. Reps. Steve Pearce of New Mexico and Doug Lamborn of Colorado as well as veterans from southeastern New Mexico.

Miller said after the hearing that veterans are clear in their testimony that they are not being provided with the services they need and that the VA is still not being transparent.

“Everybody wants to know the truth. The veterans deserve it,” he said.

Legislation expected to be signed Thursday by the president will help hold VA officials accountable, Miller said. The $16.3 billion measure also tackles the long delays in treatment and the backlog of medical appointments at VA hospitals and clinics around the country.

In an effort to address access to care for veterans in southeastern New Mexico, Pearce and VA administrators have started a pilot program in Roswell that will allow veterans to see local providers for medical appointments rather than traveling hours to Albuquerque.

State high court sets hearing in AG King campaign dispute New Mexico’s highest court plans a hearing later this month on a lawsuit by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gary King in a dispute over campaign contributions.

At issue in the case before the state Supreme Court is a state law that limits individuals and political action committees to giving no more than $5,200 for a primary election and $5,200 for a general election.

The court on Wednesday scheduled an Aug. 28 hearing and issued an order blocking Secretary of State Dianna Duran from forcing King to give up $10,900 in contributions that her office says exceed the state caps because the money was given after the June 3 primary election.

King received $10,400 each from Ed and Trudy Healy of Taos on June 25, and $5,700 from Amelia Carson of Santa Fe on June 28.

Duran contends that’s $10,400 too much from the Taos couple and $500 over the general election limit for the Santa Fe retiree.

King, a two-term attorney general, maintains the contributions were permissible because they are meant to help retire his primary election debt.

King has said the Republican secretary of state is going after his campaign “to try and steal the election” for GOP Gov. Susana Martinez.

Nightlife: City’s official review pending Continued from Page A-1 at no charge to riders. Two routes converged at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design — one traveling along Agua Fría Road and Osage Avenue, and the other along Cerrillos Road, Second Street and St. Michael’s Drive. Another shuttle ferried riders between Santa Fe Place mall and downtown. Kadlubek said the buses made regular stops along the way.

And he isn’t discouraged by the numbers. He noted that public transportation requires consistency and repetition to be successful.

“I think that’s 20 people who are potential drunk drivers that were not during Night Wave,” Kadlubek said. “I think with long-term scheduling, a tweaked routing plan and an orchestrated media push, the late-night shuttle could become a very popular service on the weekends.”

Shannon Murphy, director of the After Hours Alliance, said most people spent an average of about $40 during Night Wave, and two-thirds of those interviewed said they ate out in Santa Fe. Some people complained the shuttles were late, but still said, “This is so important, please do this permanently,” accord-

ing to Murphy.

A similar shuttle proposal by the mayor hit a roadblock Monday at the City Council’s Finance Committee.

Mayor Javier Gonzales floated the idea of running free shuttles from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design to downtown and the Railyard District on a regular basis, but councilors questioned the economic feasibility of the plan and whether the proposed hours of 6 to 11 p.m. would be viable.

There was another Night Wave glitch.

Kadlubek said on Saturday, two of the food trucks couldn’t set up shop because of a lack of parking. In the future, he said, he would close Galisteo Street to traffic to provide more room for entertainers and bar hoppers.

Sandoval said he received a few minor complaints from patrons about the club’s practice of scanning their IDs with a computer tablet program that reveals a person’s address, birth date and other personal information on the screen.

He said people worried their information was being stored or sold, but he said the scan was an extra security precaution to prevent the use of fake IDs

and ID sharing. He said the business is brand new, and it can’t afford to make a mistake.

“We have to be diligent,” Sandoval said. “We’re not selling that information to AT&T or anything.”

He also said the venue will host more live music, and it’s already secured the national band Of Montreal.

Kate Noble, the city’s interim housing and community development director, said an official review of Night Wave is still pending, but she thought the event outpaced expectations.

“It seems as though the demand is there,” she said. “And there was more dancing than I have seen in this town in a long time.”

Noble said the city will continue to consider options to invigorate the nighttime economy.

Kadlubek said he believes Night Wavetype events could happen every weekend during the summer.

“We would see revenue skyrocket,” he said.

Nigeria rushes to secure Ebola isolation tents 5 new cases reported as officials brace for additional infections

By Maram Mazan and Krista Larson The Associated Press

LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigerian authorities rushed to obtain isolation tents Wednesday in anticipation of more Ebola infections as they disclosed five more cases of the virus and a death in Africa’s most populous nation, where officials were racing to keep the gruesome disease confined to a small group of patients.

The five new Nigerian cases were all in Lagos, a megacity of 21 million people in a country already beset with poor health care infrastructure and widespread corruption, and all five were reported to have had direct contact with one infected man.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization began a meeting to decide whether the crisis, the worst recorded outbreak of its kind, amounts to an international public health emergency.

More than 930 deaths in four countries have been blamed on the illness, with 1,711 reported cases.

In recent years, the WHO has declared an emergency only twice, for swine flu in 2009 and polio in May. The declaration would probably come with recommendations on travel and trade restrictions and wider Ebola screening. It also would be an acknowledgment that the situation is critical and could worsen without a fast global response.

The group did not immediately confirm the new cases reported in Nigeria. And Nigerian authorities did not release any details on the latest infections, except to say they all had come into direct contact with the sick man who arrived by plane in Lagos late last month.

With the death toll mounting in the region, Liberia’s president announced a state of emergency late Wednesday and said it may result in the suspension of some citizens’ rights. She lamented that fear and panic had kept many family members from sending sick relatives to isolation centers.

“Ignorance and poverty, as well as entrenched religious and cultural practices, continue to exacerbate the spread of the disease,” President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said.

And in Sierra Leone, where enforcing quarantines of sick patients also has been met with resistance, some 750 soldiers deployed to the Ebola-ravaged east as part of “Operation Octopus.”

Ebola, which causes some victims to bleed from the eyes, mouth and ears, can only be transmitted through direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is sick — blood, semen, saliva, urine, feces or sweat. Millions in Lagos live in cramped conditions without access to flushable toilets. Signs posted across the city warn

people not to urinate in public.

Kenneth Akihomi, a 47-yearold worker installing fiber-optic cable, said he was carefully washing his hands to avoid infection.

But he said most people were relying on faith to stay healthy.

“They’re not panicking. They are godly people,” he said. “They believe they can pray, and maybe very soon there will be cure.”

The revelation of more infections also came amid a public-sector doctors’ strike in Nigeria that began in early July. So far, health workers monitoring the latest Ebola patients are still on the job.

Nigeria is the fourth West African country to be hit by the Ebola outbreak since it first emerged in March in the remote tropical forests of Guinea. The disease then spread to neighboring Sierra Leona and Liberia before reaching Nigeria, where it surfaced shortly before the government drew criticism for its response to the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls by Islamic militants back in April.

The girls are still missing.

Nigerian authorities said Tuesday that doctors did not suspect Patrick Sawyer was suffering from Ebola when the 40-year-old Liberian-American arrived by plane late last month in Lagos, where the streets are a bewildering mix of wealth and abject poverty, awash in luxury SUVs and decrepit buses.

Sawyer, who worked for the Liberian government in Monrovia and had a wife and three young daughters in Minnesota, was on a business flight to Nigeria when he fell ill. Officials say a nurse who treated him has died and five others are sick with Ebola, including a doctor involved in his care.

West African countries pledged at a meeting in July to step up their surveillance at airports and borders following the start of the outbreak. But the early symptoms of Ebola — fever, muscle aches and vomiting — are similar to much more common tropical diseases such as malaria.

The specter of the virus spreading through Nigeria is particularly alarming, said Stephen Morse, an epidemiology professor at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.

“It makes you nervous when so many people are potentially at risk,” he said.

Authorities in Liberia said Sawyer’s sister had recently died of Ebola, though Sawyer said he had not had close contact with her while she was ill.

In announcing Sawyer’s death, Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu maintained late last month that Nigerian officials had been vigilant in isolating him.

“It was right there [at the airport] that the problem was noticed because we have maintained our surveillance,” he told reporters. “And immediately, he went into the custody of the port health services of the federal ministry of health so there was no time for him to mingle in Lagos. He has not been in touch with any other person again since we took him from the airport.”

LOCAL NEWS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO COLLEGE

Ousted employee files whistleblower suit Man claims he lost job after he found financial waste, mismanagement

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

A former employee of Northern New Mexico College has sued the Española-based school, claiming he was put on administrative leave and then ousted because he uncovered

financial and administrative waste as well as mismanagement of the campus’ technological systems.

Among other charges in the whistleblower complaint filed in state District Court, Angelo Jacques alleges the college used federal grants for projects not approved under grant guidelines and violated state procurement codes with some contracts. He also claims college officials dismissed his reports of at least one computer being used to access online porn sites.

Some of the financial concerns also

were raised in state audits in 2012 and 2013. The 2013 audit noted that some of the findings from 2012 had been corrected. Other findings, including concerns about internal financial controls, were repeated in 2013.

Jacques’ complaint says despite repeated warnings and reports of violations, the school’s executive team ignored or dismissed his claims and eventually told him to stop digging.

Jacques is an Española native who served in the Navy for 20 years before taking the job as director of

information technology at Northern in September 2012 for about eight months at $95,000 a year. He said by phone Wednesday, “They pretty much wanted to silence me — change the subject, not discuss it. ‘Don’t worry about it, we’ll take care of it.’ ” Jacques said the college has the right not to renew employees’ oneyear contracts. But the fact that he was placed on administrative leave with no explanation a week before his contract ran out — and then was escorted out of the building by a security guard —

Standoff ends in arrest

made him feel like “a common criminal.”

The complaint says Jacques was placed on administrative leave and then was denied re-employment because of his efforts to warn his employers and others — including state Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española — about the problems, questions and improprieties.

About a dozen police vehicles, including the city police SWAT van, crowded the 800 block of South Calle Anaya during a Wednesday night standoff. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

Dispute apparently started over an aggressive dog, alleged threat

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

A SWAT situation ended without injuries late Wednesday night after a man barricaded himself in a central Santa Fe home following an alleged threat on an animal control officer.

Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman Celina Espinoza said Steven Cummings, 36, had locked himself in the mobile home on Calle Anaya at about 8:30 p.m. and was shouting at officers for nearly two hours. At about 10:15 p.m., he exited the residence with his hands up. Officers arrested Cummings without incident on a charge of aggravated assault on a peace officer.

Cummings’ troubles had begun earlier in the day, when a neighbor reported to the city Animal Services Division that one of his Rottweilers had been aggressive. An animal control officer responded to the complaint,

Espinoza said, and Cummings allegedly threatened the officer with a knife.

The animal control officer called police, and when officers arrived at the scene, 804 S. Calle Anaya, at about 9 p.m, Cummings barricaded himself inside the home.

Steven About a dozen police vehiCummings cles, including the city police SWAT van, crowded the 800 block of South Calle Anaya during the standoff. Officers blocked off the residential streets, diverting motorists and pedestrians from the area. A shelter-in-place order was issued for four blocks surrounding the home, and officers sent out a text alert warning residents of the situation.

SWAT officers in heavy armor and carrying assault rifles circled the home, repeat-

edly demanding that Cummings come out.

One officer shouted via a loudspeaker that the home was surrounded, and Cummings shouted back frenzied and unintelligible words.

At about 10 p.m., however, he stuck his head out a window, and the incident ended several minutes later with Cummings’ arrest.

Police reopened the streets at about 10:30 p.m.

Randy Lucero, who lives a block away on North Calle Anaya, said he had heard gunshots in the neighborhood the previous night. It’s unclear if the events are related, but Lucero said the recent activity had put him and his family members on edge.

According to Santa Fe County jail records, Cummings was previously arrested on charges of resisting arrest and arson in 2011. No new information was available late Wednesday night.

ALBUQUERQUE — A physician’s assistant who also is a medical marijuana patient says one of the state’s largest health care providers violated her rights when it fired her following a positive drug test.

Donna Smith is the latest medical marijuana patient to go to court to seek protections for workers who have been fired due to their participation in the state’s medical marijuana program. She filed her lawsuit against Presbyterian Healthcare Services in state District Court in June, and her attorney is now seeking a hearing date.

Smith worked for Presbyterian for four days in February. She was fired after a urine test came back positive for the active ingredient in marijuana. According to the lawsuit, she submitted a doctor’s note and her state-issued medical marijuana card, but Presbyterian officials said providers were not allowed to participate in the medical marijuana program.

A military veteran, Smith was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. She said she began using medical marijuana to treat her symptoms after other medications failed to work.

She and her attorney argue that employers should not be able to limit workers’ access to treatment options that are legal under state law, or discriminate against those who hold medical marijuana licenses.

“Individual rights and liberties and the ability of an adult to be able to address their issues and treat themselves in a healthy way pursuant to the laws of their state are what’s at stake here,” attorney Jason FloresWilliams said Wednesday.

New Mexico in 2007 was the first state to develop and implement a medical marijuana production and distribution system, and it has served as a model for others states. But some legal experts say employers still misunderstand the relationship between medical marijuana and the workplace.

While some states have laws that prohibit employers from discriminating against cardholders, and in some cases registered workers who test positive for marijuana, New Mexico employers can set policies aimed at drug-free workplaces.

State and federal courts have generally supported employers, but medical marijuana advocates say it’s time for more clarification in New Mexico.

Jessica Gelay with the Drug Policy Alliance in New Mexico said employers are behind in terms of crafting policies that take the state’s medical marijuana program and patients’ rights under the New Mexico Human Rights Act into account.

Las Vegas, N.M., city truck sports Martinez campaign sticker Mayor says vandals put item on vehicle

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Not long after Las Vegas, N.M., Mayor Alfonso Ortiz, a Democrat, faced criticism for appearing in a campaign ad for Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, a truck that belongs to the city’s Parks Division was spotted promoting Martinez’s re-election bid.

The city pickup was sporting a bumper sticker backing the governor. But Ortiz said he believes the bumper sticker was an act of vandalism.

When initially questioned about the sticker Wednesday,

Ortiz said the campaign material didn’t belong on the Dodge pickup.

“It shouldn’t be there,” he said.

“We’ll make sure it’s off.”

Alfonso Ortiz After discussing the situation with his parks supervisor, Jeff Rudolph, however, Ortiz said he believes the sticker was placed by someone who had burglarized the Parks Division more than a month ago.

“We had a break-in where someone stole three batteries from our pickups,” Rudolph said Wednesday. “That was one of the

trucks. We noticed the bumper sticker was there and removed it shortly afterwards.” Rudolph said the burglary was sometime in June.

But how quickly city officials removed the sticker is in question. A woman who took a photo of the truck — who asked not to be named — said she snapped the shot July 21 at Las Vegas’ Plaza Park. Ortiz said he would send a notice to remind all city employees that political material doesn’t belong on city property.

San Miguel County Democratic Party Chairman Martin Suazo first sent the woman’s photo to The New Mexican.

“At best, it’s taxpayer dollars being put to use for the promo-

tion of the Martinez for Governor campaign,” he said.

Ortiz said Suazo should have brought the photo to the city before going to a newspaper.

“This is just political,” he said.

Ortiz is one of two Northern New Mexico Democratic mayors who were featured in a Martinez campaign TV spot prior to the June primary election.

In an interview after that ad ran, Ortiz said even though he knew the footage was going to be used to promote the governor’s bid for another four-year term, that didn’t mean he has endorsed Martinez’s re-election. “That’s a personal choice,” he said when asked last month if he’ll vote for Martinez in November.

THE NEW MEXICAN Thursday, August 7, 2014

In brief Bicyclist hit by pickup on Old Vegas Highway A 66-year-old male bicyclist suffered multiple injuries when he was hit by a 1994 Ford pickup Tuesday evening as he rode northbound in a bicycle lane along Old Las Vegas Highway at Woods Loop southeast of Santa Fe. The bicyclist, who was not identified, suffered a broken right shin, a head wound and a hip fracture, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office said the man was in stable condition as of Tuesday night at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center.

The 47-year-old driver of the truck was cited for leaving the roadway, but he wasn’t suspected of being under the influence, the sheriff’s office said.

Pleas entered in armed robbery of Walgreens A 37-year-old Albuquerque man pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal firearms charges in connection with a Santa Fe robbery that could put him behind bars for 22 years, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Elias Atencio entered guilty pleas to two firearm offenses that stem from a February 2013 incident, a news release said. Atencio was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because of numerous felony convictions, including armed robbery, forgery, aggravated

assault with a deadly weapon and burglary. Police said at the time that Atencio held up a cashier at Walgreens, 1096 St. Francis Drive, at gunpoint and then led officers on a chase.

Atencio was also wanted as a suspect in two other commercial robberies, police said.

As part of Atencio’s plea agreement, he admitted that he unlawfully possessed a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol and brandished the firearm when he robbed the Walgreens cashier.

Atencio was charged in March 2013 as a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, as well as on charges of commercial robbery and brandishing a firearm during a violent crime.

A news release said Atencio was prosecuted as part of a federal anti-violence initiative that targets “the worst of the worst” offenders.

Changes planned for Santa Fe train crossings Rail Runner Express passenger train operators said Monday that trains will begin to operate at slower speeds through busy street crossings in Santa Fe, and flaggers will be regularly stationed to warn motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians of approaching trains.

The announcement comes in the wake of the deaths of two bicyclists at two track crossings in Santa Fe this year, despite the fact that warning signals were operating and vehicles in nearby traffic lanes had been blocked by mechanical gates.

Meanwhile, in the next 60 to 90 days, the Rio Metro Regional Transit District, the Federal Railroad Administration, the state Department of Transportation, the

state Public Regulation Commission and the city of Santa Fe will review crossings in the area and gather input from safety experts, the statement said.

“One option we’ve considered was sounding the train horns through these crossings,” said Dewey Cave, executive director of the Rio Metro Regional Transit District.

“However, we decided to utilize slower speeds and flaggers so that we uphold the commitment we’ve made to the residents and business owners of Santa Fe to maintain quiet operations through the area,” he said.

Terry Doyle, Rio Metro director, said the amount of pedestrian and bicycle activity in and around these crossings has increased in the last couple of years.

City warns of traffic obstructions Thursday The city of Santa Fe issued warnings about a couple of projects that will disrupt traffic on Thursday.

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Botulph Road will be closed between Siringo Road and Kiva Court, and Calle Ojo Feliz also will be closed, a news release said.

The road closures are necessary while crews do final concrete work for two drainage structures and prepare the road for milling and paving, the statement said.

Also, from 6:30 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m.

Friday, one northbound lane on Cerrillos Road will be closed near Alta Vista Street while a contractor caps a water main on Cerrillos Road.

The lane also will be closed intermittently beginning at 9 a.m. Friday to allow completion of paving work.

Suit: Employee’s contract was not renewed Continued from Page A-7 said via email Wednesday, “Mr. Jacques was not terminated, his contract was not renewed for legitimate business reasons.

We look forward to our day in court and hope that the media takes as much interest in the case as it did with the accusations.”

It has been a rough year for the financially challenged college. In April, its governing board cut three programs and a number of staff and faculty positions in order to maintain a $32 million budget. In May, five

of the school’s faculty members claimed they were fired in retaliation for speaking out against the school’s administration and its handling of both finances and staffing.

One of those five, former assistant professor James Biggs, previously told both the state Higher Education Department and U.S. Department of Education that the school had improperly used grant money to pay his salary.

In the spring, at least 500 critics of the college petitioned the state’s Higher Educa-

tion Department to reject the school’s budget and investigate the college, arguing that the institute’s leader mismanaged federal funds, raised tuition and cut programs, leading to a decline in enrollment and staffing. At that time, Higher Education Secretary Jose Garcia said it is not within his department’s purview to pursue an investigation into the allegations.

Last semester, the college reported it had about 800 fulltime students and about 750 part-time students. Serna said

Wednesday the college is bracing for an expected enrollment decrease of 5 percent. The board did not raise tuition this year. In late July, Gov. Susana Martinez and the state Board of Finance, citing concerns over the college’s finances, declined to support a proposal from the college to issue up to $13 million in revenue bonds to build dormitories on the campus in an effort to attract out-of-region and out-of-state students.

Facial recognition finds lost dogs San Diego shelter uses app to reunite owners with pets

By Sue Manning The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES ny worried pet owner who has spent days hanging posters, making phone calls and knocking on neighbors’ doors hopes there’s a more scientific way to find a lost dog.

That became a reality when facial recognition technology successfully reunited a pet at San Diego County Animal Services with its owners. Joanne Cox’s family in San Diego turned to FindingRover.com, a website and app that uses technology built by university researchers, to reconnect with their dog Roxy, a Shiba inu.

The website keeps a database of photos from the three county shelters and tries to match eight distinctive facial markers on dogs with images uploaded by users searching for lost pets.

Eyes and noses are important areas that differentiate pooches, including eye size and their position near the snout.

FindingRover.com founder John Polimeno wants to expand the photo database to improve the odds of more happy endings, with shelters elsewhere set to sign on. He’s also showing it to rescues, veterinarians and dog groups and is visiting other countries.

The website is unique in using facial recognition but stands among many online tools people increasingly use to find lost pets. There are alarm systems, social media alerts and apps that post rewards or call people in neighborhoods.

Plus, the American Society

A

The illustration shows shows how a new smartphone application Finding Rover works. In May, San Diego County Animal Services became the first shelter system in the country to adapt the facial recognition plan. FINDINGROVER.COM

Facial recognition worked for the Cox family after their pet Roxy bolted during a thunderstorm in late July. for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the largest and oldest humane society in the U.S., has its own mobile app for recovering missing pets. It offers tips on the best ways to search and allows users to create a digital flier to share on social media.

“Through research, the ASPCA has found that the best method for pet owners to find their lost pet is to get out the door, search their neighbor-

hood, post flyers, check their local shelters and make sure that their pets have ID tags with updated information,” said Dr. Emily Weiss, vice president of ASPCA shelter research and development.

Facial recognition worked for the Cox family after Roxy bolted during a thunderstorm in late July. Five days after the dog disappeared, the family’s 10-year-old daughter created a free Finding Rover account and the technology matched her uploaded photo to one taken at the shelter. “Within four hours of her arrival to the shelter, we were there to pick her up,” Joanna Cox said in an email.

Every dog entering San Diego County’s three shelters is added to the photo database. Daniel deSousa, the system’s deputy director, says the program can work two ways: u Someone finds a dog, takes its picture and sends it to the database, where a match generates a notice to the owner. The owner then can call the good Samaritan and arrange a pickup.

u Dogs coming in to the shelters have their photos run against the database. If there’s a match, the owner gets a call.

The technology powering Finding Rover was built

by Steven Callahan and John Schreiner of the University of Utah’s software development center. They found the eight markers on dogs are far fewer than the 128 points on the human facial recognition program.

“People are sort of uniform, the shape of their faces, skin tones, all their eyes, noses and mouths are in the same general location,” Callahan said. But dogs’ eyes and snouts are in different places.

It’s difficult to measure accuracy, Callahan said, but if there are 100 dogs in a database, a topthree match would be hit 98 percent of the time.

“It worked surprisingly well, better than I thought it would. I had low expectations,” Callahan said. “It would take off if you had all the shelters in an area” included.

She brought smiles to thousands of children’s face and was able to defuse the toughest of any situation.

Many people knew Kasey by name, and would call out to her as she rode on the Santa Fe Police Department float during the Fiesta parade. Her guardian, retired police officer Bruce Pratz, said he simply accepted the fact that she was the star and didn’t mind playing second fiddle to his dog.

“No one knew my name,” he said, “I was just the guy with the dog. She had a regular fan club. She made so many friends in her life. She never knew any other life — she gave her whole life to the children of Santa Fe.” Kasey died in early July after battling spleen cancer. She was 9.

Pratz and his wife, Annette, mourn the loss of their companion, but said they are proud that she made such a difference in so many people’s lives. Annette Pratz said that as a puppy, Kasey was always regal, and always laid down with her front paws crossed and her head held high.

Kasey started going to schools with Bruce Pratz to work with children when she was 6 weeks old. She taught — simply through her presence — good behavior, loyalty, punctuality and work ethic.

She also helped children secure their safety through an identification program, Bruce Pratz said. This was prompted when a salesman met Kasey at Don Chalmers Ford and urged the owner to donate chil-

Animals & Nature is set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Kindred Spirit Animal Sanctuary. The show is an opportunity to visit with animals in hospice and elder care and meet many of the artists who are donating their work to support the sanctuary, organizers said. The show will fea-

dren’s identification software, a camera and printer to the police department. Working with For Kids’ Sake, Kasey’s photo was taken with close to 18,000 children.

Her presence in the photo helped overcome a lot of resistance from the children, he said.

Kasey attended many community func-

ture a variety of art, including painting, photography jewelry, sculpture, carvings, folk art and wearable art.

All proceeds benefit the sanctuary’s wellness care for the senior animals. The show is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

The sanctuary is on N.M. 14 near Lone Butte General Store.

tions through the years, Bruce Pratz said, but she also offered a calming presence. In 2005, during a tense time at Santa Fe High School, Kasey spent a day at the school, helping ease the situation.

One highlight of Kasey’s service was in 2009, when Bruce Pratz and Kasey were chosen as city employees of the month. The plaque remains in a proud position on the wall of the couple’s home, Annette Pratz said.

“She became a giant in the community,” she said. “She was so loved.”

Kasey retired when Bruce Pratz retired from the department earlier this year.

She was diagnosed with cancer shortly after that. The cancer progressed quickly, Bruce Pratz said, and while she had several rebounds from seizures, she eventually succumbed to the disease.

Kasey was Pratz’s second service dog.

Autumn was with him for many years, but developed bone cancer and died in 2010.

Kasey and Autumn were often together at events, even after Autumn lost one leg to the cancer.

Another golden retriever, Little Ebony — “Ebbie” — was being groomed to be a successor but is now a member of the Pratz family.

The police department’s canine program ended when Pratz retired. Other officers weren’t interested in continuing the program or being a dog handler, he said.

Kasey’s legacy lives on, however, in the memories of Santa Fe’s children. “I could not be a more proud puppy mom,” Annette Pratz said, “and was blessed to have been given such a beautiful gift as our little girl Kasey.”

The promotion aims to put a spotlight on pit bulls, which tend to stay in adoption centers longer than other breeds, said Dylan Moore, the shelter’s adoptions manager. “These are great dogs who just need chance with a loving family.”

In addition to promoting the dogs through fun photos of them wearing lais and grass skirts, the adoption fees will be reduced. The fees on several of the long-term dogs at the shelter will be waived, while the adoption fee on younger dogs is 50 percent off.

Back Road Pizza is continuing its promotion of the dogs

through Pitchers, Pits & Pies, an event held from 4 to 7 p.m. every first and third Wednesday of the month. Piper Kapin, the owner of the restaurant, 1807 Second St., No. 1, Santa Fe, is offering specials during the event, which features one or two adoptable pit bulls. Kapin, who sponsors the adoption fee of a pit bull monthly, said the breed is often misunderstood Kapin hopes to help connect loving dogs with families by introducing them to the community.

That’s due to demographics, of course, but also to price — Mexican beers tend to be cheaper because import costs are lower. It also helps that Mexican beers — generally characterized by a light, crisp body and mild taste — have “an aura of vacation and relaxation” that appeals to U.S. consumers, Euromonitor said.

Montejo was first launched in southeastern Mexico in 1960 as an anniversary brand for a brewery on the Yucatan peninsula that dated back to the early 1900s. It will be the first time it’s available outside of Mexico.

FACUNDO VALDEZ

Pioneer in social work, advocate for land use dies

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Facundo Valdez was a leader in two different worlds, helping pioneer the social work program at New Mexico Highlands University and protecting land and water through the New Mexico Acequia Association.

Valdez, of Las Vegas, N.M., died Sunday at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe. He was 82.

Born in Mora County, Valdez grew up on a farm and gained a deep appreciation for rural life in New Mexico, said his friend, historian and writer Estevan Arellano.

Yet Valdez easily moved into the circles of academia. After obtaining two master’s degrees, he helped establish the School of Social Work at Highlands 40 years ago and served as its director. With this advance, Highlands first offered a bachelor’s degree in social work and later a master’s degree as well.

Creating a social work program at a regional university was an example of Valdez’s most abiding character trait, that of fighting for the underdog, Arellano said.

“You could always count on Facundo to stand up for the oppressed,” Arellano said.

Valdez served from 2003 to 2009 Facundo as a member Valdez of Con Alma Health Foundation’s board of trustees. On its website, the organization eulogized him as “a champion for the poor and underserved.”

His activism in causes of social justice began much earlier as a founding member of the National Council of La Raza.

Valdez also was an outspoken advocate for the land and the communal irrigation canals that he considered the lifeblood of state agriculture. The New Mexico Acequia Association last fall presented Valdez with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his work. He had been a member of the association’s board of directors.

A child of the Great Depression, Valdez developed an appreciation for school as well as the land he worked on. He received a bachelor’s degree from New

Mexico Highlands University in 1958 and then completed a master’s degree in history, also at Highlands.

He went on to receive a second master’s degree, this one in social work, from the University of Denver in 1963. This sparked his interest in developing a program at Highlands to train social workers.

In the ’60s, Valdez worked in The University of New Mexico’s community development program and as director of the welfare department in Taos County.

He later worked as executive director of Sangre de Cristo community mental health services, which served patients in seven counties.

Valdez’s survivors include his wife, Dora, of Las Vegas; sons, Ivan Valdez of Albuquerque and Ronald Tenorio of Belen; a brother, Felipe Valdez, of Cheyenne, Wyo.; and a sister, Maria Antonia Bustos of Commerce City, Colo.

His funeral will be at 10 a.m.

Thursday at St. Gertrude Church in Mora.

Auditor faults 2 charter schools Top administrator, official received $1M through contracts

By Barry Massey The Associated Press

Two Albuquerque charter schools have paid more than $1 million to a private company owned by the schools’ top administrator and another school official, according to a financial review by the State Auditor’s Office released Wednesday.

State Auditor Hector Balderas said his office found potential contracting violations and conflicts of interests at Southwest

Secondary Learning Center and Southwest Aeronautics, Mathematics and Science Academy, which are part of a consortium of four charter schools called the Southwest Learning Centers.

Balderas said his office had alerted the FBI to potential problems at the schools.

The governing boards of the schools announced this week that head administrator Scott Glasrud has taken a leave of absence amid an FBI investigation.

According to Balderas, a company co-owned by Glasrud and another founder of the schools, Dalene “Dolly” Juarez, was paid $1.1 million since 2008 for the lease of aircraft for the schools’ program that prepares students

to be private pilots and for careers in aviation.

Charter schools are public schools freed from some traditional educational requirements to help them offer innovative programs. Local school boards or the state can approve charters. A lawyer for the schools, Patricia Matthews, said governing boards received Balderas’ report on Tuesday and hadn’t been able to evaluate all of the findings. “The governing councils are committed to working with the auditor’s office, the New Mexico Public Education Department and our independent auditor to take the necessary steps to address the issues outlined in the report,” Matthews said in a statement.

Police notes The Santa Fe Police Department took the following reports: u A burglar entered an apartment in the 6300 block of Entrada de Milagro on Tuesday and stole unspecified items. u A woman reported Tuesday that she was defrauded of about $2,700 by an unknown person between July 11 and July 25.

u A burglar stole $60 from an apartment in the 200 block of Camino Alire between 10 and 11 a.m. Tuesday.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office took the following reports: u A man reported that a guest Wednesday might have stolen a firearm from his house on North Paseo de Angel in La Cienega.

u Thomas Chacon, 58, of Española was arrested on charges of failure to appear, burglary and felony larceny. He is accused of stealing jewelry, prescription medicine, a 7-inch tablet computer, a metal detector and a black suitcase between 2:15 and 3:30 p.m. Tuesday from a house on Farmers Pond Road in La Cienega.

BROTHER GREGORY WRIGHT, FSC (ARTHUR WRIGHT) Brother Gregory Wright, FSC, passed away on Thursday, July 31, 2014 following a brief illness at age 86. He was a member of the De La Salle Christian Brothers of the San Francisco-New Orleans District.

He was born in New Orleans, LA on January 5, 1928, the son of the late Arthur Eugene Wright and Mary Hughes Wright. He was preceded in death by his brother Thomas Wright, his sister Catherine Wright and cousin Anne Bocskov. Brother is survived by his cousins: Mary Broome (husband Luther), Chesney Loeb (husband David), Paula Farrell (husband Sidney), Jimmy deBlanc, Renee Miller (husband Mark), Dimiter Bocskov, Randy Chauvin and his religious Brothers of the San Francisco-New Orleans District. In addition, he will be remembered by the many students and friends whose hearts he touched.

Brother Gregory entered the Junior Novitiate of the Brothers in 1941, received the religious habit on August 14, 1945 and pronounced his final vows on June 7, 1953. He ministered as a Brother for 66 years. Brother began his teaching ministry at Landry Memorial School in Lake Charles, LA and taught in other schools of the District. His days as a high school teacher came to an end when he was assigned to St. Michael’s College (College of Sante Fe) in 1958. He earned a Master of Arts degree in History in 1961 and his Ph.D. in European studies at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM in 1965. He pursued post-doctoral studies in Higher Education and Social Studies Education at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in 1966-1967. In 19761977 and from 1980-1983, he enrolled in informal studies in European History in Rome, Italy while also serving as secretary to our congregations Secretary General. Of his studies in Rome he said: "It was a teachers dream come true."

Following 30 years of teaching and doing administrative work at the College of Sante Fe, he was asked to do missionary work in the Philippines. In September of 1988, he joined the Philippine District and was assigned to De La Salle University in Manila where he served as a Visiting Professor of History, and Acting Chairman of the History Department in 1996. Having done his doctoral dissertation on St. John Baptist de la Salle, he wrote several books on the Founder, his congregation and numerous articles on Lasallian studies. He ministered in the Philippines for 21 years and then returned home in 2009 where he was assigned to De La Salle-Christian Brothers in Lafayette, LA. In 2013, he was assigned to the St. Paul’s Retirement Community in Covington, LA. Brother Gregory will be remembered for his dedication to Christian education, commitment to the Religious Life, his encyclopedic mind and razor sharp sense of humor which kept one informed and entertained, love of classical music, love of history and he loved to eat fish. His message to students was: "Learn to speak up and assert yourselves." His message to teachers was: "Never lose the desire to learn."

Visitation will take place in Our Lady of Peace Chapel (St. Paul’s High School Campus), at 9AM on Saturday, August 9, 2014, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 AM. Burial will take place in De La Salle Cemetery, Lafayette, LA. The Brothers are grateful for the loving staff of R and R Home Care, Hospice Compassus and the Louisiana Heart Hospital in Lacombe, LA for the wonderful care they gave Brother during his final illness.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Brother Gregory’s name may be made to the St. La Salle Auxiliary, 917 S. Jahncke Ave., Covington, LA 70433. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to E. J. Fielding Funeral Home, Covington, LA. EDITH SHEARER POTTER Edith Potter passed away on August 3rd, 2014 in Santa Fe, NM after a brief illness. She had been a sixty-seven year resident of Los Alamos, New Mexico.

Edith was born in October, 1920. Although raised on a farm near Goobertown, Arkansas, she followed a family tradition of education, teaching schoolchildren of all ages and coaching girl’s basketball until she volunteered to serve in the Dept. of the Navy in Washington, DC during WWII. Edith had her eye on her future husband, Donald Potter when they sang in the choir of the Paragould, Arkansas Methodist Church. Donald joined the Army Air Corps just before the war, and survived the attack on Hickam Field, Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th, 1941. After completing his wartime service, he returned home to marry Edith in July, 1946.

In February, 1947, Edith and Donald adventured into the unknown, driving through a snow-storm up the winding dirt road to the gate of the then-secret town of Los Alamos, NM, where they settled and raised a family. Donald worked as an electrical technician for the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory until 1966, when he suffered an untimely stroke.

Edith had inherited a family characteristic of resilience, self-sufficiency, and service to others. She was a tireless caregiver. While caring for Donald and her two daughters, she returned to school, earned her Master’s degree, and went on to teach 3rd and 4th grade during a 23-year career with Los Alamos schools.

Edith was a founding member of the First Methodist Church of Los Alamos, serving on many of the committees and circles over the years. She was a master cook, winning medals and ribbons for her delectable baked dishes at county and state fairs and delighting family and friends with her southern fried chicken. She loved all sports. As a former basketball coach, she was an avid fan of the game and had a keen eye for strategies and tactics. She had no patience for teams that played dirty. Her sense of sportsmanship and fair play informed her politics.

All who knew her can attest to her Arkansas common sense and deep roots in southern values and culture. It is estimated that she taught over 400 elementary students in Los Alamos. That, plus plus playing bridge, and serving in the church kept her mind sharp and vigorous right up to the end of her long life. She touched countless lives in her community. She will be sorely missed.

Edith is survived by her daughter Nancy and husband Bob Porter of Salt Lake City, UT; daughter Jan and husband John Eklund of Los Alamos; grandchildren Sylvan Argo and companion Andrew Stocker, Eli Argo, Max Argo, Kristopher Eklund, Darin and Claresa Porter, Benjamin Porter, Matthew and Krystel Porter; and lovely great-grandchildren Alora and Kyla Porter.

Viewing will be from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM Thursday, August 7th at the DeVargas Funeral Home, 623 N Railroad Ave, Española, NM 87532. A service celebrating her life will be held at 11:00 AM, Friday, August 8th, at the First Methodist Church of Los Alamos at the corner of Diamond and Trinity. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to your local Parent-Teacher organization to support education for future generations.

Debate matters in governor’s race

The New York Times

KIBBUTZ EIN HASHLOSHA, Israel t 6:02 a.m. Saturday, the air raid siren sounded over Tel Aviv. I was rousted by the hotel staff from my room and ushered into the windowless service elevator area with two French families, everyone in their pajamas.

After 10 minutes, when the Hamas missile threat had passed, we were allowed to go back to our rooms. As I slipped back into bed, the hotel loudspeaker bellowed, “Dear guests, you may return to your routine.”

With Israel and Hamas winding down their latest war, I could only wonder whether the hotel manager was also speaking to them. Is that it?

More than 60 Israeli soldiers and some 1,800 Hamas fighters and Gazans — many hundreds of them children and civilians — killed, and everyone just goes back to their routines? I don’t think so. Some new and significant things were revealed here.

Let’s start with the fight.

Since the early 2000s, Iran and its proxies Hezbollah and, until recently, Hamas, have pursued a three-pillar strategy toward Israel. The first is asymmetric warfare, primarily using cheap rockets, to paralyze Israeli towns and cities. For now, Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system appears to have nullified this weapon; Hamas rockets did virtually no damage.

The second pillar, which debuted in the 2006 IsraelHezbollah war, is to nest Hamas fighters and rocket launchers among the densely packed Gazan population and

ne is not enough. But so far, there is just one confirmed public forum scheduled between incumbent Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and her challenger, Democratic Attorney General Gary King. We hope the two candidates for New Mexico governor saddle up to debate issues all over the state — not just on television, but in community centers, schools and wherever the public is.

Citizens deserve to hear from their candidates, not merely through sound bites or slick ads, but speaking from the heart and off the cuff. A governor has to think on his or her feet, and be challenged and put on the spot. Debates are a great way to measure a person’s ability to maneuver (the first one, scheduled for Sept. 22 in Albuquerque, is sponsored by various real estate and construction industries). That one has a moderator, but we wouldn’t mind a few free-for-alls, with the candidates directly questioning each other.

We understand, as an incumbent, Martinez has the most to lose by debating. King, the decided underdog, needs to score points and corner the governor. He won’t win unless he gets people talking. He needs the debates. She doesn’t.

However, as much as Martinez criticizes former Gov. Bill Richardson, she is emulating his re-election strategy. When he ran for a second term against John Dendahl in 2006, Richardson went so far as to refuse to debate on live television. That’s not fair to voters. We much prefer former Republican Gov. Gary Johnson’s style. As an incumbent, he agreed to more than 20 debates across New Mexico with challenger Martin Chavez, then-mayor of Albuquerque. Johnson won re-election handily.

Martinez and her political advisers need to take the long view. If, as many believe, she wants a national political career, the governor needs to mix it up more at home, where mistakes are less costly. Already, the governor’s public appearances are managed with little room for error. She is not one for spontaneous questions or frequent news conferences. She doesn’t do many live interviews on television — either locally or on the all-important national networks.

Richardson might not have debated Dendahl much, but the governor was known for his back-and-forth in news conferences and his ability to speak in depth about any issue.

He can still be found on network news, being interviewed about the Middle East or the border.

Meanwhile, Martinez remains under wraps in New Mexico. Debating her gubernatorial opponent is the kind of challenge she should seize — after all, some day she may be duking it out at a Republican presidential debate, or in a face off against a Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Practice, as they say, makes perfect.

T

The past 100 years

force Israel into a war where it can only defeat or deter Hamas if it risks war-crimes charges. No one here will explicitly say so, but one need only study this war to understand that Israel considers it central to its deterrence strategy that neither Hamas nor Hezbollah will “outcrazy us.” I don’t believe Israel was targeting Gaza civilians — I believe it tried to avoid them — but, at the end of the day, it was not deterred by the prospect of substantial collateral civilian casualties. Hamas used Gaza’s civilians as war-crimes bait.

And Israel did whatever was necessary to prove to Hamas, “You will not outcrazy us out of this region.” It was all ugly.

This is not Scandinavia.

The third pillar of the Iran/ Hezbollah/Hamas strategy is: Israel must forever occupy Palestinians in the West Bank because the perpetuation of that colonial occupation is essential for delegitimizing and isolating Israel on the world stage — especially among young Westerners — and energizing Muslims against Israel.

On this, Hamas scored a huge victory. We saw that clearly in the decision by the Federal Aviation Administra-

tion to briefly order a ban on U.S. flights to Tel Aviv, after a single Hamas rocket landed just more than a mile from the airport. That was exactly the message Hamas wanted delivered: “If we can close your airport, your global lifeline, with one rocket from Gaza, imagine what happens if you leave the West Bank, right next door.” That FAA ban will now be used here as a key argument for why Israel must never cede the West Bank. I can hear the applause in Tehran, Iran, from here.

And then there were the Hamas tunnels and what they revealed. I toured one just across the Gaza border, near Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha. It was lined for a couple miles with prefab concrete siding and roofing. It had electricity and railroad tracks. What struck me most, though, was the craftsmanship — the way all the prefab concrete pieces were perfectly designed and fit together.

This tunnel took years and millions of dollars to build and required diverting massive resources from civilian roads, buildings and schools. It had one purpose, and it was not fruit exports. It was to shuttle

fighters into the kibbutz. And there were many of these.

I must say I was awed by the sheer dedication it took to dig this tunnel, but sickened by what fueled that dedication: an apocalyptic jihadist agenda.

The religious nationalistforces have the real energy in this region today. More and more, this is becoming a religious conflict.

The Times of Israel reported that, at the start of this war, “in an official dispatch sent to battalion and company commanders on July 9, Givati Brigade commander Colonel Ofer Winter” — one of Israel’s top officers on the Gaza front — “told his subordinates that ‘History has chosen us to spearhead the fighting [against] the terrorist ‘Gazan’ enemy which abuses, blasphemes and curses the God of Israel’s [defense] forces.’ ” Frightening.

This is crunchtime. Either Arab and Israeli moderates collaborate and fight together, or the zealots really are going to take over this neighborhood. Please do not return to your routines.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

he article on changes to the current curbside program (“Report calls for costly changes in recycling and trash services,” Aug. 3) brings up questions that need to be addressed prior to the city incurring $2.5 million in new costs and raising people’s trash bills.

Given the paltry participation percentage, would the proposed “singlestream” substantially increase recycling rates?

There is the even deeper issue. Is the current or proposed plan even carbon neutral?

In other words, should our small city be spending even more money to be able to say we are a “green” city? Is there an environmental impact study of the recycling program?

This becomes an even more complex question, because glass would no longer be picked up.

That is supposed to be brought to designated locations to be disposed of, which obviously involves using energy.

Furthermore, as someone who does diligently recycle, I was shocked to read about the closest place for only brown glass is in Colorado.

What is happening to all the clear and other colored glass now? Is it just thrown into the city’s landfill?

I want to be able to recycle as much as

possible, but if the environmental impact outweighs any benefit, what is the point?

Essential landmark I’d like to share an open letter to the Santa Fe County Commission: La Bajada is probably the most important natural landmark in New Mexico, traditionally separating Rio Arriba from Rio Abajo, and symbolically uniting our great Land of Enchantment.

I am a 17th-generation New Mexican whose ancestors have been ascending and descending La Bajada escarpment for more than 400 years.

Movement through this incredible landscape continues today as we travel Interstate 25 back and forth to Albuquerque. It is truly the perfect gateway to the north, and an almost pristine approach to Santa Fe. Some may think that permitting this mine will have negligible impacts. I, and thousands of others, know that it will be the crack in the door to allow repeated abuse to our sacred cultural landscape — our common wealth. The litany of common-sense reasons to deny the permit is huge as each of you know by now.

Allowing the mining would be allowing a huge gash into the heart and soul of who we are. Please deny the permit. Your constituents will be forever grateful.

For the Santa Fe New Mexican: Aug. 7, 1914: Farmington — Chairman M. S. Groves and O.I. Owen, of the state corporation commission, were Farmington visitors today, coming over to adjust some matters pertaining to telephone service on the San Juan River at Bloomfield, where it seems that owing to some difficulty, the company cut off one line. So much demand was made for INS restoration that after an appeal to the state board, the members decided it was best to come over and get the matter straightened out.

Aug. 7, 1964: Chama — More than 20,000 acres of Rio Grande National Forest lands in Colorado and New Mexico will be opened to public use by a right of way secured this week. The area, at the head of the Chama River near Chama, will be opened to hunting, fishing, timber harvest and recreation as soon as a road can be constructed on the right of way.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Teen is attracted to older brother Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old boy and can’t talk about this with anyone I know.

My father isn’t in my life. It never mattered because I have the best older brother anyone could ask for. “Tommy” is 21, and he is my hero. He helps me with my homework, teaches me about life, takes me places, protects me and loves me unconditionally.

But here’s the problem. I think I’m in love with him. Is that possible? He’s all I can think about.

I’m not gay. I like girls. I have never felt this way about any other guy. Tommy has a girlfriend, and they plan to get married. He’s never done anything to make me think he has other feelings for me, although he’s very affectionate. He gives me hugs and kisses the top of my head.

Is there something seriously wrong with me? Should I tell Tommy how I feel? I really love him with all my heart. — Little Brother Dear Brother: Thinking you are in love with a sibling is actually not that uncommon. When you are 13 and going through a great many physical and hormonal changes, it is easy to think that the strong, loving feelings you have for Tommy may be romantic in nature. You admire him, appreciate him and want to be close to him. The important thing is to understand that these feelings will be replaced by more appropriate ones as you get older.

Until then, you can discuss these feelings with your Mom, your school counselor, your doctor or a trusted adult relative or neighbor.

Dear Annie: Our son married a wonderful girl last fall, and we love her and her parents dearly.

There is only one problem. Their eating habits are atrocious.

“Emma” cooks nothing but high-fat, high-sugar food. Her mother cooks the same way. Since

marrying, our son has put on a lot of weight, and all of them could lose a few pounds. Her father is having gallbladder issues but refuses to change his diet.

I have offered to help Emma learn new recipes, but she isn’t interested. I love these people and want to help them develop better eating habits, but I don’t want to make them angry by sticking my nose in where it doesn’t belong.

How do I help? — Mom-in-Law Dear Mom-in-Law: Please don’t tell Emma’s parents how to eat. Your intentions are good, but there is no way to do this without sounding as if you are lecturing and criticizing them. The same goes for your daughter-in-law.

Instead, concentrate on your son.

Surely, he grew up with healthier eating habits and knows the difference. Encourage him to help Emma stay healthy, because this is something that will affect their future children. Then stay out of it.

Dear Annie: You missed the boat with “Maisie’s Mom,” whose daughter won’t let the dog live with them after she promised she could. You admitted that Mom is a victim of a bullying and abusive daughter, but then said she might have to apologize anyway in order to keep seeing her little grandson.

Mom owes NO ONE an apology. She should find a place to live with Maisie and move on.

Perhaps when the grandson is older, he will choose to be a part of his grandmother’s life. In the meantime, Mom can volunteer at a school to be with children.

Life is too short. — Amazed and Appalled Dear Amazed: A great many readers thought “Maisie’s Mom” should keep the dog and cut her daughter and grandchild out of her life. That is her choice, but we know many parents would not think that is a satisfying solution.

Sheinwold’s bridge

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be more upbeat once you distance yourself from a difficult situation.

You won’t want to reveal everything on your mind.

Tonight: Stay anchored.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You could be angrier than you realize. Slow down some, and initiate a conversation. Tonight: Hang with a favorite person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your spending could go way over budget if you are not careful. Be careful about swallowing anger, as there could be a backfire. Tonight: Play it conservatively.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Trust your judgment, and you will come out on top.

Confusion might surround a phone call, so try to confirm what is going on.

Tonight: Only where you can listen to music!

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Know when to pull back.

You might not be sure of your choices if you opt to head in a different direction. Tonight: Keep your plans a secret for now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance. This person’s fresh perspective always helps level you out.

Tonight: Aim for what you want.

DENVER — When the Seattle Seahawks visit the Broncos for a preseason kickoff Thursday night, they’ll see a Denver defense that was reshaped with them in mind — along with a team still smarting over all that trash talk during and after the Super Bowl.

The Broncos responded to that 43-8 shellacking by adding thumpers DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib in free agency.

New Mexico falls short

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Barely able to tie his shoes three days ago, Tiger Woods is ready to tee it up in the PGA Championship.

Woods caused the biggest sensation of the week Wednesday afternoon simply by driving his silver SUV into the parking lot at Valhalla.

He has never arrived so late for a major championship and had so little time to prepare — just nine holes at Valhalla, which he had not seen since winning the PGA Championship in 2000.

But at least he’s playing.

That much was in doubt Sunday when he withdrew from the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational because of back pain that made it a chore to switch out of his golf shoes.

Woods said he suffered a pinched nerve, but that it was not at all related to back surgery he had March 31 that kept him out of golf for three months.

He said his trainer adjusted the area above the sacrum.

“Once he put it back in, the spasms went away,” he said. “And from there, I started getting some range of

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE PREVIEW

Boise State may still be key in MWC

By John Marshall The Associated Press

The Broncos of Boise State were among the original BCS busters, winning big bowl games and forcing themselves into the national-title conversation.

That was under Chris Petersen.

Now, he’s gone and so is the BCS. Filling Petersen’s shoes will be Bryan Harsin, the former Broncos player and offensive coordinator who will lead Boise State into the College Football Playoff era.

“There’s an expectation and a standard that’s been set here,” Harsin said. “I’d much rather come into that than inherit a rebuild, because your players know that. So we will embrace the past, but we can’t rely on that because it’s already happened. What are we going to do about it?”

Petersen had been at the helm in Boise since 2006 and put together the most successful run in school history, going 92-12 while winning a pair of BCS bowls before leaving this offseason to become the head coach at Washington.

To keep the momentum rolling, the school brought back Harsin, who helped create the Boise State juggernaut as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator from 2001-10.

He spent two seasons as offensive

Las Vegas Little League All-Stars lose championship to Texas West

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

W

ednesday wasn’t too kind to the Las Vegas Little League All-Stars.

The All-Stars, which represent New Mexico in this year’s Junior League Softball Southwestern Regional, were eliminated

by Texas West at Alto Park on Wednesday for a chance to play in the Junior Softball World Series in Kirkland, Wash.

New Mexico had to win one game Wednesday to make the trip to Washington, but it dropped the 10 a.m. game 10-0 after it was called in the fifth inning with a 10-run mercy rule. Texas West then won the second game 6-3 to give New Mexico its second loss of the tournament, dashing its hopes of

playing in the World Series.

New Mexico beat Texas West 19-8 on the first day of the tournament Saturday, but that same team didn’t put up the same fight against the squad out of Eagle Pass, Texas, on Wednesday.

“It was just my girls, it wasn’t Eagle Pass,” said New Mexico head coach Michael Quintana.

“That’s the same team we beat by 11 runs. Every thing we hit just wasn’t solid, and my girls just weren’t there [Wednesday]. Everybody has a bad day, and unfortunately today was ours.”

Texas West did look different after that initial loss to New Mexico. It went on to beat Texas East 19-0 on Sunday in the loser’s bracket and then clobbered Louisiana 17-4 on Monday. On Tuesday, it beat Colorado 4-1 to force a rematch with the team that didn’t give them a warm welcome.

“The first game was nothing,” Texas West pitcher Connie Hernandez said. “That was not us, and that was not our team. We were devastated, we couldn’t believe that that was us. It was a sign

to us that there is someone stronger than you out there, and it’s not going to be given to you for free.”

Texas West head coach Willy Ruiz said the opening-day game was not indicative of his team.

After a long bus ride from Eagle Pass, the team had to play an early game Saturday, which was not ideal.

“We had a long trip coming from Texas, and we played a local New Mexico team,” Ruiz said. “Trust me, those 12 hours of the trip were not pretty. Playing a local team when they’re here relaxing is a different ballgame. We said we were going to come back and get them.”

Texas West was a nightmare for New Mexico early Wednesday as it had a 8-0 lead in Game 1 after four innings. Hernandez pitched all five innings and didn’t allow a hit until New Mexico’s Savannah Sanchez hit a single to left field in the bottom of the fifth.

Miller, Jones excited to play with LeBron again

By Tom Withers The Associated Press

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — They were pieces of a championship puzzle in Miami, perfect fits.

Mike Miller and James Jones hope to be just as valuable accessories in Cleveland to help LeBron James win a title that would mean more to the superstar than any other.

“Obviously,” Miller said, “our goal is to win a championship.”

Attracted to the Cavaliers for a chance to play again with James, Miller and Jones were introduced Wednesday by the Cavs, who finally got a chance to show off some of their newest assets of this

Flanking Cavs general manager David Griffin, Miller and Jones both expressed their excitement at being a part of James’ homecoming, a return the Ohio native wants to crown by ending the city’s 50-year champion-

ship drought. Miller and Jones won back-to-back titles with James and the Heat.

They know what it takes to win, and they know it won’t be easy.

“Winning a championship takes a lot of hard work. It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do,” Miller said.

I was able to be a part, and James was able to be a part of an unbelievable ride in Miami.”

They’re riding with James again.

Two of the league’s better longrange shooters, Miller and Jones will give Cleveland more weapons to add to the ones they already have in James, All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and maybe even forward Kevin Love, who could be headed to

the Cavaliers in a trade with Minnesota before the month ends.

Miller and Jones understand what it’s like to be on the floor and on the receiving end of a pass from James, one of the best enablers the game has ever seen.

“It’s great,” Jones said. “I relish the opportunity to play with LeBron once again and the chance to play with Kyrie because as a shooter that’s what you want, you want good looks.

Sometimes the looks can be too open, it gives you too much time to think, but we’ll live with those problems.”

The Cavs have fewer of those these

Braves lose 8th straight as Mariners win The Associated Press

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners handed Atlanta its eighth straight loss, with Dustin Ackley and Logan Morrison hitting home runs in the third Mariners 7 inning that sent the Mariners to a 7-3 win Braves 3 Wednesday.

The Braves were swept at Dodger Stadium and San Diego before losing two straight at Safeco Field.

Ackley led off the third with a home run and Morrison added a three-run shot off Julio Teheran (10-8) for a 5-3 lead.

ROYALS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 3 In Phoenix, Mike Moustakas homered and drove in four runs, Yordano Ventura pitched six solid innings and Kansas City beat the Diamondbacks to win its fifth straight series.

Kansas City rolled over Arizona in the opener and had just enough offense for Ventura (9-8) to take the second game.

PHILLIES 10, ASTROS 3 In Philadelphia, Chase Utley hit a threerun homer, and Ben Revere had four hits, including a triple, to lead the Phillies to a victory over Houston.

Ryan Howard had two hits and two RBIs with a double for Philadelphia, which had scored just two runs in 35⅔ innings entering Wednesday. The Phillies topped the Astros 2-1 in 15 innings on Tuesday night.

David Buchanan (6-5) was called up again to replace Cliff Lee, who was placed on the disabled list because of a left elbow strain sustained last Thursday.

REDS 8, INDIANS 3 In Cincinnati, Mat Latos pitched seven shutout innings and chipped in with a hit as the Reds opened a seven-game homestand with a win over Cleveland.

Zack Cozart hit a three-run homer off the left-field foul pole and Kristopher Negron added a two-run shot as the Reds won for the third time in four games.

Latos (4-3), making his 10th start since opening the season on the disabled list and being activated on June 14, allowed just one baserunner past second base before Yan Gomes led off Cleveland’s three-run eighth with his 16th homer.

PADRES 5, TWINS 4 (10 INNINGS) In Minneapolis, center fielder Alexi Amarista made a game-saving catch in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Seth Smith followed with a solo homer in the 10th to

lift San Diego to a victory over the Twins.

Amarista ran backward on a dead sprint and laid out for a brilliant diving catch of a drive off the bat of Eduardo Escobar to keep the game tied. Smith had two hits and two RBIs. RED SOX 2, CARDINALS 1 In St. Louis, Xander Bogaerts drove in both runs, including a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, as Boston beat the Cardinals.

The matchup of Shelby Miller and Joe Kelly, former teammates who were each other’s best man, was a high quality draw that brought out their best. Each allowed a run in seven innings.

AMERICAN LEAGUE YANKEES 5, TIGERS 1 In New York, Chris Capuano outpitched Justin Verlander while Brian McCann and Chase Headley homered to send the Yankees past Detroit.

The Yankees improved to 2-1 in these three straight games started for Detroit

by AL Cy Young Award winners. New York edged Max Scherzer on Monday, then David Price got a no-decision Tuesday in a game the Tigers won in the 12th.

BLUE JAYS 5, ORIOLES 1 In Toronto, Drew Hutchison came within one out of his second career complete game, Jose Bautista homered and drove in three runs and the Blue Jays beat Baltimore, snapping a four-game losing streak.

Melky Cabrera had three hits as the Blue Jays closed within four games of the AL East-leading Orioles and handed Baltimore its first loss in four games.

RAYS 7, ATHLETICS 3 In Oakland, Calif., Kevin Kiermaier hit a two-run homer to help Jeremy Hellickson end a six-start winless stretch for his first victory in 11 months, and Tampa Bay beat the Athletics to avoid a sweep.

Hellickson (1-1) allowed two hits and one run in seven innings, struck out three and walked none. He hadn’t reached five innings in any of his previous three starts this year or in five outings dating to the end of the 2013 season. Hellickson returned late last month following right elbow surgery in January.

RANGERS 3, WHITE SOX 1 In Chicago, Adam Rosales homered twice in a game for the first time in his career, and Nick Tepesch pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, leading Texas over

Chris Sale and the White Sox. The Rangers, who began the day with baseball’s worst record, have won consecutive games for the first time since June 27-28. They routed the White Sox 16-0 on Tuesday night.

NATIONAL LEAGUE DODGERS 2, ANGELS 1 In Anaheim, Calif., Dan Haren pitched three-hit ball into the eighth inning, and Matt Kemp homered in Los Angeles’ victory over the Angels.

Andre Ethier had an RBI double in the second inning as the Freeway Series moved down the I-5 to Anaheim after the clubs split the first two games in Chavez Ravine.

Haren (9-9) took a perfect game into the sixth inning of his best start since June for the NL leaders, who improved the majors’ best road record to 35-23 by beating the majors’ best home team.

GIANTS 7, BREWERS 4 In Milwaukee, Michael Morse and Pablo Sandoval each drove in three runs to lead San Francisco to a victory over the Brewers.

Ryan Vogelsong (7-8) gave up one run on seven hits in six innings for the Giants to win consecutive starts for the first time since May. On Friday, the right-hander allowed two hits in a complete game against the Mets.

ROCKIES 13, CUBS 4 In Denver, Carlos Gonzalez homered, doubled and singled in his return to the lineup, and the Rockies snapped a five-game losing streak with a victory over Chicago.

Corey Dickerson had four hits, drove in three and was a homer shy of the cycle.

Mike McKenry also homered for Colorado.

NATIONALS 7, METS 1 In Washington, Doug Fister took a fivehit shutout into the eighth inning, Adam LaRoche homered twice and Danny Espinosa also connected as the Nationals beat New York.

Fister (11-3) allowed one unearned run and six hits in 7⅓ innings. He struck out seven and reduced his ERA to 2.49.

PIRATES 7, MARLINS 3 In Pittsburgh, Josh Harrison had three hits to extend his hot streak, and Jeff Locke overcame a shaky start to pitch seven innings as the Pirates beat Miami.

Harrison hit a double and scored twice.

He is 20 for 44 during a 10-game hitting streak, with six doubles, one triple and five home runs.

Short: N.M. didn’t score until 7th inning Continued from Page B-1 There was more of the same in Game 2 as New Mexico gave up six runs in the first four innings. New Mexico was down 6-0 in the top of the seventh and had one chance to win the tournament, and it stretched that chance as far as it could.

Samantha Montaño, Makayla Quintana and Shanaya Pacheco all hit consecutive singles to lead off the inning and load the

bases for Ashlea Lujan. Lujan then hit a double to deep center field to bring in all the runners and cut the deficit to 6-3 with no outs. Lujan was then tagged at trying to run back to second base for the first out.

Hernandez got the next two batters out to seal the win, but not before New Mexico put up one last fight.

“I told the girls to give it everything they could, because this was our last chance and our last effort,” Quintana said. “Unfor-

tunately, we fell a little short.”

Softball will not stop for either team.

Quintana said he and his players will keep competing until October and, of course, Texas West will be competing with the rest of the world starting Sunday.

“We came and we showed them who wanted it more,” Hernandez said, fighting back tears. “I wanted it, and so did all my teammates. They never let me down, and I never let them down.”

Following a disappointing season, they drafted Andrew Wiggins with the No. 1 overall pick, signed coach David Blatt and top assistant Tyronn Lue, rekindled with James and resigned the four-time MVP after a four-year separation, signed Miller and Jones and could soon land Love, one of the league’s best players.

“I don’t know if you can have six months like we’ve had, but it’s been special,” Griffin said.

It could get better. Along with the potential deal for Love, which could cost the

Cavs Wiggins, Cleveland also has interest in signing free agent Ray Allen, the most prolific 3-point shooter in league history.

Jones recently spent time with in Connecticut with Allen, who is weighing retirement against a shot at a fourth championship ring.

“We talked about those things that are important to us, which are families, our legacies and our careers,” Jones said. “So he has a decision to make. Of course we’d love to have Ray. Hopefully he makes a decision that’s best for him,

and hopefully it’s a decision to continue to play. But as far as where he goes and what he’s thinking, I don’t know.

“I’m pretty sure he knows the guys that are here up front, and LeBron, would love for him to play with us.”

Miller played with James on Tuesday at the superstar’s high school alma mater in Akron and reported the “greatest player on the planet right now” looks good following a recent weight loss.

James is gearing up for a season that could top anything he’s done so far in his remark-

able career.

Miller has never seen James so determined.

“I think his passion for wanting to bring a championship back here to Cleveland drives him more than anything,” he said.

“It’s one of the reasons me and James are sitting up here and we’re excited to be here.

That’s one of the reasons, because he’s driven to do that and that’s exciting. For as much as he’s given us, for us to be a part of this and hopefully help him do what he wants to do would be awesome.”

Woods: Says pain wasn’t related to surgery Continued from Page B-1 motion.”

The latest injury occurred when Woods tried to play a shot from just above a deep bunker on the second hole at Firestone, and his momentum caused him to land hard in the sand. He kept playing, and hit some horrific shots before deciding to withdraw after a tee shot on the ninth hole.

That was only his third tournament since his return from surgery, leading to concern that he might be done for the year.

“It was a different pain than what I had been experiencing,” Woods said. “So I knew it wasn’t the site of the surgery. It was different and obviously it

[was] just the sacrum.”

His arrival put some life into what had been an ordinary week. Dozens of cameras captured Woods putting on his shoes with ease at his car. He got a big cheer just walking onto the practice range and the crowd was six-deep down the first hole, about like it was for the Ryder Cup at Valhalla six years ago.

In the nine holes he played with Steve Stricker, Davis Love III and Harris English, Woods looked the same as he did last week.

He drilled his driver down the first fairway. He badly pulled his tee shot on the third hole. It was a mixture of good

and bad, about what can be expected from someone who has played only nine rounds in the last five months.

“Nothing great,” Woods said.

“It’s only Wednesday.”

Woods tees off Thursday alongside Phil Mickelson and Padraig Harrington. He simply said, “Yes,” when asked if he expected to win, which seemed to be a tall order considering his return from surgery. Woods missed the cut by four shots at the Quicken Loans National, had his worst 72-hole finish in a major at the British Open and was in the middle of the pack at Firestone when he withdrew.

Barring a victory, this likely will be his last tournament for

at least six weeks.

Woods is not eligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs, and he hasn’t given U.S. captain Tom Watson much reason to pick him for the Ryder Cup. Woods said he would have to “play well” to give reason for Watson to take him.

“That’s the only thing I can control,” Woods said. “Try to go out there and win this event.

That’s all I’m focused on.”

Watson has said he wanted Woods on the team if he was healthy and playing well. About the time Woods arrived at the course, Watson was successfully dodging questions about his chances of making the team.

COLLEGE SPORTS

Fears over wealth gap as top leagues push overhaul

By Steve Eder The New York Times

The head football coach at Alabama makes $6.9 million a year, and his staff is also very well paid. The offensive coordinator makes $680,000 a year, and the defensive coordinator makes $1.35 million. The strength and conditioning coach earns $395,000.

At Ohio State, the football team moved into a $2.5 million, 10,000-square-foot locker room at its training complex, complete with a deluxe lounge outfitted with high-definition televisions. It also has a waterfall.

When Florida State and Auburn qualified for last season’s Bowl Championship Series title game, their conferences each received $18 million.

This is a portrait of life in the wealthiest districts of college sports.

The denizens of these rarefied quarters, universities like Alabama and Ohio State, are still institutions of higher education. But athletics have become ever more central to their missions, and their bottom lines, thanks to the juggernaut programs that generate hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Recruiters fly on private planes, athletes train on top-ofthe-line equipment, and teams compete in mammoth stadiums that are the envy of many professional teams. It is not uncommon for a university athletic budget to exceed $60 million.

And all of that has taken place under the NCAA’s old rules.

On Thursday, the NCAA is expected to approve a measure to give more autonomy to the sports powerhouses that compete in the five biggest conferences: the Southeastern Conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Pac-12, the Big Ten and the Big 12. With more control, the conferences are expected to agree to establish a looser set of rules that could lead to millions of dollars of additional sports spending — a move that some critics fear will put an even greater emphasis on athletics.

“It will simply raise the stakes, raise the salaries, raise the expenditures, raise the professionalism, and ultimately we will have more barbells and dumbbells,” said Gerry Gurney, the president of the Drake Group, which pushes for educational reform in college athletics.

Some estimates suggest the new rules will usher in as much as $5 million in new spending on sports, depending on the university.

“This move will take us farther away from any semblance of these athletes being students,” said Gurney, an assistant professor and former athletic executive at Oklahoma — a member of the Big 12, which will be subject to the new rules.

Others see Thursday’s vote as an opportunity to bring the rules governing college sports up to date, and to have universities share more of the pie with athletes.

“What we hope is going to happen out of this is that the structure of the NCAA will probably be more reflective of 2014, of the status of college athletics as it is today, to provide us with the ability to make more efficient and fluid decisions that benefit our students in a more timely way,” said Mike Alden, the athletic director at Missouri, a member of the SEC. But no one expects the new rules to flood college sports with money — because college sports are already drowning in money.

In the past decade, the universities that compete at the top level in football have seen their total athletic expenses grow from a median of $28.9 million in 2004 to $62.2 million last year, according to a report that Daniel Fulks of Transylvania University prepared for the NCAA in April. The universities spend a median of $75,000 per athlete, up from $41,000 a decade ago.

Athletic conferences make more money than ever from television contracts, and some have launched their own lucrative networks. Some universities have improved their stadiums to make money from corporate suites. Donors have chipped in, underwriting construction projects at colleges across the country.

The results of the spending wars are often seen in recruit-

ing. A program may try to get an edge by emphasizing a prominent (and well-compensated) position coach or a shiny new complex.

To keep up, plenty of universities are spending beyond what they bring in. Only 20 Division I athletic programs generate enough revenue to cover their expenses, according to the Fulks report.

The cost of playing in the top tier will only increase. New rules could allow universities in those top conferences to give players a few thousand dollars more than what the current scholarship rules allow. The rules could loosen limits on agents and advisers and overhaul the recruiting procedures that limit contacts between prospects and coaches.

The changes that the socalled Big 5 conferences adopt could signify the beginning of an era. Any other Division I conference or university (pending its conference’s approval) could opt into the Big 5’s rules, although many of them do not have the money to compete at that level.

Boise State, which has boasted one of the country’s best football teams, plays in the Mountain West, a relatively small conference. That leaves it outside the Big 5, a development that frustrates Bob Kustra, the university’s president.

“It’s a whole series of significant new advantages given to these power conferences,” Kustra said. He worried that smaller colleges like his would be forced to join the financial arms race, even if it ran contrary to the university’s financial interest and its mission.

The changes, Kustra said, “will do nothing but place greater pressure on athletic budgets and move the ball farther down the field toward professionalization.”

“I have seen great growth” in Hillman, Manning said. “I think he’s been a different guy in the meeting rooms with a full offseason this year and attacking it the way he did. He’s starting to see the benefits of that here on the field. I have seen a drastically improved player.”

Hillman slid so far down the depth chart last year that he was a healthy scratch for the Super Bowl.

Although Elway said he has yet to watch any of his own Super Bowl blowouts, Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase made his guys sit through it over the summer.

Over on the defensive side, Knighton didn’t need any nudging. The game was basically playing on a loop at his house.

“Yeah, I watched it a lot. I watched it enough to hate them and you can write that down and do whatever you want,” he said. “And I’m looking forward to playing them again. The good thing is we’ll see them in the regular season, the preseason.”

Harsin inherits a team that, by most accounts, underachieved last season, finishing 8-5 and out of the conference championship game.

The Broncos were picked to win the Mountain Division in the preseason media poll and return 13 starters, including eight on defense.

Here are 10 more things to look for when the Mountain West Conference kicks off its season on Aug. 28: Bulldogs in the west: Fresno State won the inaugural Mountain West championship game a year ago and is the favorite to get back. If they do get there, it will likely be along a different route. The Bulldogs lost all-everything quarterback Derek Carr to the NFL, but are loaded with quality defensive players, including don’t-darethrow-it-his-way safety Derron Smith.

Ready to step up?: Division favorites Fresno State and Boise State have questions heading into the season, leaving the door open for someone else to rise up. Utah State and San Diego State could be those teams. The Aggies have quarterback Chuckie Keeton and a solid defense, while the Aztecs are loaded with offensive talent.

Heisman darkhorse: Utah

State got an early start on its Heisman Trophy campaign for Keeton. It was probably a wise move. He threw for 1,385 yards and 18 TDs with two interceptions in five games before having his season cut short by a knee injury in the sixth game of the season. The senior was picked as the conference preseason player of the year for 2014.

Big games: Some of the top conference games of the season, ones that will likely have a huge impact on who plays in the MWC title game: Colorado State at Boise State, Sept. 6; San Diego State at Fresno State, Oct. 3; Fresno State at Boise State, Oct. 17; Utah State at Colorado State, Oct. 18; San Diego State at Boise State, Nov. 15; Utah State at Boise State, Nov. 29.

UNLV’s rebound: UNLV went into last season just hoping to win more than two games. The Rebels accomplished that by the fifth game of the season and went on to play in a bowl for the first time since 2000.

UNLV could certainly pick up more wins this season.

Lobo return specialist: Teams might want to think twice about kicking to New Mexico’s Carlos Wiggins. He was the FBS leader in kick return yardage last season, averaging 29.6 yards, and returned three for touchdowns to tie a conference record.

Laramie buzz: Football fans finally have something to get excited about in Wyoming. The Cowboys have had one win-

ning season in the last nine, but return 17 starters and have a new coach in Craig Bohl, who led North Dakota State to three straight FCS National Championships.

Fajardo returns: The Mountain West lost some of its best quarterbacks from a year ago, which should give Nevada an edge with Cody Fajardo returning. He was hobbled by a sprained knee last season, but is the only active FBS quarterback to throw for 7,000 yards and rush for 2,000 career.

Scoring Rams: With a lift from RB Kapri Bibbs, Colorado State made some huge strides scoring last season. Bibbs scored 31 TDs and the Rams set a school record with 26.2 points per game — 15 more than in 2012. Now, about that defense …

Looking to rebound: Air Force and Hawaii were picked last in their respective divisions after struggling last season. The Falcons won two non-conference games before going 0-8 in the MWC to finish 2-10. Hawaii coach Norm Chow could find himself on the hot seat if the Warriors have another season like 2013, when they went 1-11.

Predicted order of finish: Mountain: 1. Boise State; 2. Utah State; 3. Colorado State; 4. Wyoming; 5. New Mexico; 6. Air Force.

West: 1. Fresno State; 2. San Diego State; 3. Nevada; 4. UNLV; 5. San Jose State; 6. Hawaii.

Title game winner: Fresno State.

HAPPY TRAILS

This fall, no child left inside

By Tim Rogers For The New Mexican

A

s the summer season winds down and Santa Feans get ready for fall, let’s all keep hiking, biking and horseback riding on the same schedule.

A couple of upcoming initiatives by local nonprofit organizations are intended to help young Santa Feans and their families make our public trails part of a healthy, active lifestyle.

Through support of the city of Santa Fe and the Gimbel Foundation, the Santa Fe Conservation Trust is hosting field trips for schoolchildren and trail volunteer workdays for high-schoolers in our area. This summer, the trust worked with the city of Santa Fe’s Youth and Family Services Division to bring several vanloads of the city’s “Summer Campers” to the Cerro Gordo Trailhead on a pair of occasions in July to hike up the Dale Ball trails toward Picacho Peak.

Many of the children who came on these field trips said they had never been on any kind of a hike before, and the vast majority had never visited the Dale Ball Trail System.

It was pure joy and adventure ascending through the piñon- and juniper-covered foothills and up into the ponderosa pines with the summer campers, who ranged from 10 to 14 years of age. Along the way, trust staff provided hiking tips, trail maps, an orientation to map-reading, and historical and cultural interpretation of the area, pointing out the Santa Fe River watershed and the Acequia del Llano, both flowing with cool mountain water, and the historic Hydropower Ditch. Karen Denison of Outspire Hiking and Snowshoeing was also on hand to share her own finely honed trail tips and vast knowledge of our area’s plants, animals and geology as seen along the trail.

Most of the time, however, was dedicated to letting the kids loose along the steep and rocky single-track, where they were excited to discover the beautiful sights, smells and feeling of the rugged trail on their own.

Upon arriving on a broad rock shelf overlooking the city, the youngsters enjoyed snacks and refreshments as they gazed down at their hometown from a whole new perspective.

It’s safe to say that no child was disappointed by these field trips, and every single one of them got a great dose of healthy physical activity, even though they might not have even noticed that part of it.

This fall, the Santa Fe Conservation Trust will offer expanded weekday field trips for Santa Fe Public Schools students, arranging hiking trips for the younger children as well as trail maintenance activities for high schoolage students looking for community service opportunities. Parents and other family members will also be encouraged to come along.

The city of Santa Fe supports the trust staff’s time, while support from the Gimbel Foundation will provide for transportation costs as well as hiking supplies and promotional materials to encourage children and their families to sample more of our area’s diverse hiking trails.

Parents, teachers and students who are interested in fall field trips on our city trails are urged to contact Tim Rogers, the trust’s trails program manager, at tim@sftc.org.

If you are looking for a weekend activity with your child, and you are interested in mountain biking, then the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society, our local chapter of the International Mountain Biking Association, is putting together an event for you. The society will celebrate the association’s 11th-annual national “Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day” at the city’s La Tierra Trails on Saturday, Oct. 4.

Bring bikes, helmets, parents and kids. The society will line everyone up with a fun and challenging activity that suits their skill level.

It’s another great chance for families to enjoy some good, clean fun in the dirt.

We hope that you and your family can take advantage of these opportunities to get out on our trails. To learn more about “Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day,” take a look at the association’s website at www.imba.com/kids, and stay tuned to the Fat Tire Society’s website at www.santafefattiresociety.org. For more information about the Santa Fe Conservation Trust’s trail activities, including hiking trips for kids, see sfct.org/trails.

Glen Van Peski, founder of Gossamer Gear, sets up a lightweight shelter in the rain July 20 near Truckee, Calif. Van Peski is a pioneer in the field of ultralight hiking, a niche sport in which adherents will take backcountry trips with as little as 5 pounds of gear, sometimes even less. Many conventional hikers carry as much as 25, 30 or more pounds on treks. BENJAMIN SPILLMAN/THE RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL

By Benjamin Spillman Reno Gazette-Journal

RENO, Nev. or Glen Van Peski, a pioneer in the field of ultralight backpacking, even the excess weight in a toothbrush handle is too much for the pack.

So he ditched the tiny travel-sized toothbrushes many backpackers carry for a handleless style supplied to prisons. It’s a bristled, rubber cone that fits on the tip of an index finger provided to inmates because it can’t be turned into a weapon.

It’s also just four-tenths of an ounce, maybe a third of the weight of a standard toothbrush with travel case.

“You start thinking about everything in your pack,” said Van Peski, a longtime backpacker and founder of Gossamer Gear, a company that makes ultralight backpacks and other supplies.

“A couple ounces here, a couple ounces there, it starts adding up.”

Ultralight backpacking, which generally refers to making overnight trips with less than 10 pounds of base weight compared to 20, 30 or even heavier loads many distance hikers haul, is a minimalist movement that got a big boost in 1992 with the publication of the book PCT Hiker’s Handbook by rock climber and hiker Ray Jardine.

Jardine wrote about through-hiking the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail three times and the methods he used to whittle his pack weight from 25 to nine pounds.

At the time, major manufacturers sold heavy gear that was too clumsy for a minimalist such as Jardine, so he made his own, including the backpack.

The spike of interest in ultralight gear caught

F

the eye of bigger companies who sought to capitalize on the trend, said Will Rietveld, senior editor of Backpacking Light magazine. But with no true definition for ultralight, some of the newcomers used the word to promote products that wouldn’t necessarily pass muster with purists, he said.

“They will just add that extra adjective to a tent that has been lightened up a bit,” Rietveld said. “It deceives a lot of people.”

Many who consider themselves true ultralight backpackers say 10 pounds of base weight is the maximum load that can qualify for the designation, but even that standard is getting pushed further down.

Van Peski rarely takes more than 5 pounds, in addition to food, on his backpacking trips. On a recent overnight trip to a series of lakes and peaks in the Tahoe National Forest, Van Peski demonstrated ultralight gear and techniques for a small group of hikers.

The education started before the group even departed from the Cedar House Sport Hotel in Truckee, Calif., when Van Peski reworked the load of one hiker who arrived with nearly 11 pounds of clothing and gear, not including a tent, sleeping bag or cooking supplies.

By the time Van Peski was done, the pack weight was down to about 6 pounds even after adding a shelter and sleeping bag. Jettisoning extra clothes and swapping out an old Camelbak pack for a one-pound Gossamer Murmur pack was easy.

Other modifications included replacing a travel-sized toothpaste tube and standard stick of deodorant with a tiny vial of organic, peppermint Castile Liquid Soap that can replace both. A few squares of sturdy tissue could be stretched by supplementing them with soft leaves that are easily obtainable along mountain

trails, Van Peski said.

Even water isn’t spared. Ultralight hikers often ditch the big bottles in exchange for a small filter or purifying solution then refill a smaller canister from streams or lakes.

Carrying items that have multiple uses — such as trekking poles that can prop up a tent or a canister that can be used for cooking, eating and drinking — is also key.

“Everything weighs something,” Van Peski said. “That is the first rule.”

To the average hiker or backpacker some of the pare-downs may seem more suitable to people who consider themselves extreme minimalists or even daredevils.

But people who have made the transition say going ultralight can actually make backpacking more accessible to a broader range of participants.

That’s because it’s a lot easier to make more miles and cross demanding terrain with a pack that weighs about as much as a laptop computer than one that weighs more than a full set of golf clubs.

Rietveld, 71, has been backpacking for 56 years and said in the 1970s he routinely carried about 30 pounds on a typical trip.

“I was stronger then, the weight didn’t seem to bother me all that much back then,” he said.

Cutting back to an ultralight level means he can keep doing extensive backcountry trips he enjoys.

“I can still hike up and down the mountains and hike off-trail,” he said. “Carrying a lighter pack just makes it a lot easier.”

Barriers to ultralight backpacking remain, however. Cost is a big one.

Rietveld said building a complete ultralight kit can cost $1,000.

FOR THE BIRDS

Summertime birding has wonderful variety

By Anne Schmauss For The New Mexican

M

idsummer backyard birding doesn’t bring the excitement of spring migration (i.e., fewer western tanagers now), but we do see a nice variety of birds and have an opportunity to see juveniles at the feeder and bath.

Young birds are often as big as their parents, but their behavior gives them away. If you see a bird flapping its wings and squawking excitedly, you are probably looking at a young bird just out of the nest. Parents will sometimes feed fledglings for a few days to help them transition.

Some of the birds to look for now include: Black-headed grosbeaks: These sturdy birds spend the spring and summer in our area, and they are showing up at feeders right now with their young ones in tow. Watch for grosbeaks at your seed feeders (they love sunflower), at your suet feeders, and at your seed cylinder. The male is distinctive with orange and black markings. The females and juveniles are duller in appearance but all have the same thick, strong bill. Thus the name grosbeak.

Hummingbirds: Broad-tailed, black-chinned, rufous and calliope are all here now, and so are many of their babies. Activity should be strong at your feeder. If not, be sure to keep fresh nec-

tar, changing it at least twice a week. If you see what kind of looks like a hummingbird at your feeder or flowers after dark, it is most likely not a hummingbird but rather a sphinx moth, which have been common of late.

Lesser goldfinches: We always know when the lesser goldfinch population explodes because, well, customers tell us, but also because they buy a lot more thistle (nyger seed), which is the favorite food of goldfinches.

Hang a thistle feeder now to attract these beautiful yellow birds.

Orioles: When orioles arrive in the spring, they show up at nectar feeders before they settle in to nest. Some backyard birders see orioles

all summer long, but many of us just see orioles when they arrive. In August, as families of orioles begin to prepare to head south, they often appear at nectar or jelly feeders before they go.

Look for family groups of orioles at your hummingbird feeder or proactively hang an oriole feeder that feeds both nectar and jelly to catch them on their way out of town.

Hawks: We have hawks in the Santa Fe area year-round, but lately have had more reports than usual of sharp-shinned and cooper’s hawks hanging around backyard feeders and baths.

They are there for dinner, but they don’t want your birdseed. Hawks will eat songbirds. Everybody has to eat. I don’t necessarily want a frontrow seat to watch, but it is part of nature.

Towhees: We have both canyon and spotted towhees in the Santa Fe area, and both have been numerous of late. Watch for them under your feeders or bushes scratching around for dropped seeds. They are notoriously bold and will hop eagerly into your garage or sometimes your house to see what’s happening.

Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe and she loves to hear your bird stories. She is the co-author of For the Birds: A Month by Month Guide to Attracting Birds to Your Backyard and the author of Birdhouses of the World, published last April.

IS IT TIME TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON GETTING A NEW CAR?

BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI

Dear Tom and Ray: We have a 2005 Toyota Sienna with 52,500 miles on it (I don’t get out much, I know). I drive like an old lady, and it’s been a pretty low-maintenance vehicle until recently. During its last checkup, we were told that it needs a new front di≠erential seal, new rackand-pinion assembly, new TV RADIO STEREO

timing belt/water pump, new transmission pan gasket and new rear shocks, all to the tune of $4,800. We still have two kids living at home, and a third who frequently accompanies us on vacation trips. My husband drives a Prius, and we both like it. It has always been our intention to replace the Sienna with the larger Prius V “when the time comes.” Now we are trying to decide if the time has come. We talked to a local dealership about a car on the lot, one of the station-wagonstyle Prius V’s. They o≠ered us $7,000 on our car as is, in trade for the Prius V. Of course, we have no payments right now on the Sienna, and pretty low insurance rates.

All of that would change with a new car. Then again, we’d have a new, presumably very reliable car that gets great gas mileage.

What to do, what to do?

Thanks! -- Donna RAY: If ever a second opinion were called for, this would be the situation, Donna.

TOM: That’s why she wrote to us, you dope!

RAY: I mean an informed

second opinion.

TOM: There are two things you want to find out, Donna.

No. 1 is: How much of this work is actually necessary?

I’m not saying it’s not needed, but with only 52,000 miles on the car, and you driving like an old lady, it would surprise me if the rack and pinion were gone.

RAY: The timing belt and water pump should be done, just based on their age. And it’s possible you need the other stu≠, too, but a second opinion would tell you for sure.

TOM: The second question is whether you’re being overcharged for whatever work you do need. O≠ the top of my head, being generous, I’d say the di≠erential seals should cost you about $400, even if you do both of them.

RAY: The timing belt and water pump -- again, being generous -- should be no more than $1,000. The rack and pinion, if you need it, is another $1,000 or so. The transmission pan gasket is $150. And let’s say the rear shocks are $400. That’s $3,000, not $4,800.

DOMESTIC

TOM: That’s if you actually need all that stu≠. So take it to another mechanic and ask him to go over the whole vehicle from top to bottom, and see how his diagnosis and price match up with the dealer’s.

RAY: If you don’t have another mechanic you trust, go to mechanicsfiles.com, and search using your ZIP code.

That’s a database of great mechanics who have been personally recommended by our readers and listeners over the years. No one gets to “buy” a good review on that site.

TOM: And if you really want the Prius V (which we can tell you’re dying to get your hands on, Donna!), you can still go ahead and get it.

But you might be better o≠ doing the necessary work on the Sienna, for maybe half the amount these guys quoted you, and then selling the van yourself for $11,000 or $12,000.

RAY: But whatever your plans are for the Sienna, we’d recommend a second opinion before either trading it in or dropping five G’s on a 10-year-old car.
