Slain U.S. journalist was Israeli citizen

By Tia Goldenberg and Julie Pace The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Israel confirmed on Wednesday that slain American journalist Steven Sotloff was also an Israeli citizen, while President Barack Obama vowed to build a coalition to “degrade and destroy” the extremist group that carried out the videotaped beheading.

Sotloff’s Jewish faith and Israeli citizenship were not widely known before Steven his death — in part Sotloff because Israel’s military censor apparently kept a lid on the story for his safety — and his killers may not have known about his background either, since they made no mention of Jews or Israel in the footage released Tuesday.

Sotloff, a 31-year-old from suburban Miami who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines before he was captured in Syria a year ago, became the second American newsman to be beheaded by Islamic State militants in two weeks, killed in

New Mexico’s remaining death row inmates are asking the state’s highest court to spare them from potential execution because lawmakers repealed capital punishment after they were sentenced to die by lethal injection.

Timothy Allen and Robert Fry contend their death sentences violate state and federal constitutional protections because New Mexico abolished capital punishment in 2009 for future murders but left it in place for them. Both men were convicted and sentenced to death for murders committed years before the repeal.

The state Supreme Court will hear arguments from lawyers Oct. 1, but a decision by the five justices likely wouldn’t be made until months later.

No execution has been scheduled for either Fry or Allen, and both have pending habeas corpus post-conviction appeals in state District Court.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gary King, in a statement “It says a lot about Gary King’s character that he rarely passes up an opportunity to trash our state in order to score cheap political points. King’s attacks against New Mexico completely ignore the state’s bipartisan efforts that have allowed us to compete for jobs like those offered by Tesla and other companies.”

ew Mexico has lost the competition for a giant Tesla Motors factory and up to 6,500 jobs that could come with it, prompting members of both major political parties to blame the other for the state being passed over.

Nevada will get the $5 billion plant that will manufacture batteries for Tesla’s electric cars, various news organizations reported Wednesday. CNBC was first with the story of Tesla choosing Nevada.

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval plans to make a formal announcement Thursday afternoon regarding a major company, his staff said.

In addition to New Mexico and Nevada, the other finalists for the factory were Arizona, California and Texas.

Democrats in New Mexico immediately blamed Republican

Gov. Susana Martinez for what they said was a halfhearted effort in pursuing jobs and improving a listless state economy.

Gary King, the Democrat who is running against Martinez in the November election, said she shoulders responsibility for New Mexico losing the Tesla plant.

“It’s not our location or lack of resources. It’s a failure of leadership by the Martinez administration,” King said in a statement. “If we hope to attract cutting-edge manufacturers and jobs, we must have education policies that would attract high-paying careers such as the ones we missed out on today.”

Martinez’s press secretary, Enrique Knell, did not respond directly to questions about Tesla.

“The company has not informed state officials of where they plan to locate. We’ll certainly comment once they make their announcement,” Knell said.

A New Mexico couple have provided the Santa Fe Institute with a $2.5 million endowment — one of the organization’s largest gifts — to expand its education and outreach programs.

The gift from Ian and Sonnet McKinnon, both native to New Mexico, will support mentorships, summer schools, after-school programs and other education projects coordinated by the Santa Fe Institute for middleschoolers, high-schoolers and college students.

One of the programs, Project GUTS (Growing Up Thinking Scientifically), recently won a national award for after-school education.

Previously, though, Knell said Martinez’s staff had put forth an aggressive campaign to persuade Tesla to locate the plant in New Mexico.

Though Martinez declined to comment on Tesla, her campaign distributed a statement that it attributed to state Rep. Monica Youngblood, R-Albuquerque, a critic of King.

“It says a lot about Gary King’s character that he rarely passes up an opportunity to trash our state in order to score cheap political points,” the statement said. “King’s attacks against New Mexico completely ignore the state’s bipartisan efforts that have allowed us to compete for jobs like those offered by Tesla and other companies.”

King was not alone among Democrats in saying the failure to land Tesla was Martinez’s.

In brief

Brothers freed after 3 decades in prison RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina’s longest-serving death row inmate and his younger half brother walked out as free men Wednesday, three decades after they were convicted of raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl who DNA evidence shows may have been killed by another man.

Henry McCollum, 50, hugged his weeping parents at the gates of Central Prison in Raleigh, a day after a judge ordered his release, citing the new evidence in the 1983 slaying of Sabrina Buie.

His half brother, 46-year-old Leon Brown, was later freed from Maury Correctional Institution near Greenville, where he had been serving a life sentence. Brown declined to be interviewed following his release, saying through his attorney he was too overwhelmed.

Warnings stifled on gridlocked bridge TRENTON, N.J. — Police officers on the George Washington Bridge last September during lane closures apparently ordered by Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s aides as political payback said they warned superiors about the hazardous conditions created and were told not to talk about it on their radios, according to a summary provided by their lawyer to a legislative panel investigating the scandal.

Attorney Dan Bibb, who works for the union representing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officers, told the legislative panel’s investigators that one of the officers, Steve Pisciotta, used his police radio to report hazardous conditions and was told to “shut up.”

Gulf of Maine heats up Lobster catch already is dwindling as sea temperatures rise

By Patrick Whittle The Associated Press

FRIENDSHIP, Maine magine Cape Cod without cod. Maine without lobster.

The region’s famous rocky beaches invisible, obscured by constant high waters.

It’s already starting to happen.

The culprit is the warming seas — and in particular the Gulf of Maine, whose waters are heating up faster than 99 percent of the world’s oceans, scientists say.

Long-established species of commercial fish, like cod, herring and northern shrimp, are departing for colder waters. Black sea bass, blue crabs and new species of squid — all highly unusual for the Gulf — are turning up in fishermen’s nets.

The Gulf of Maine’s warming reflects broader trends around the North Atlantic. But the statistic — accepted by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — underscores particular fears about the Gulf’s unique ecosystem and the lucrative fishing industries it supports for three U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.

“These changes are very real, and we’re seeing them happen quickly,” said Malin Pinsky, a biology professor at New Jersey’s Rutgers University who studies ocean temperature change and was not involved in the research that resulted in the 99 percent statistic.

It is a rallying point for environmental activists, who see the response to the temperature rise and its impact on fisheries as a

touchstone for the global debate about climate change.

“The warming is already here,” said Jeff Young, a spokesman for Pew Charitable Trust’s oceans project, which has campaigned in favor of restrictions on fishing for herring, another species leaving for colder water. “And we have to deal with it.”

The rising waters in the Gulf — a big dent in the East Coast stretching from Massachusetts to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick — have interfered with the work of Diane Cowan, founder of the Lobster Conservancy, who has conducted lobster censuses in New England for 22 years.

The shore of a cove off Maine’s Friendship Long Island has long been the best site on the East Coast to find baby lobsters, she said.

Around 2007, she couldn’t lift a rock without finding one, and usually found several.

But the rising sea has prevented her from getting there much since 2010, she said, because it’s almost always underwater.

On a recent August morning, she made it to the site and found 19 young lobsters — far down from the huge colonies she found seven years ago, she said.

“Things have changed dramatically,” she said.

Until 2004, Gulf temperatures were increasing by about 0.05 degrees per year since 1982, about in line with worldwide trends, said Andy Pershing, chief scientific officer at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and the man behind the 99 percent figure.

But then the pace accelerated to about a half-degree per year — nearly 10 times faster.

Scientists are not certain why.

The rest of the oceans are also warming, albeit not as fast, as

increased carbon dioxide in the air has contributed to rising temperatures, Pershing said.

The 99 percent statistic isn’t arbitrary. Pershing and others compared ocean trends and presented the figure to NOAA in April.

Pershing’s work illustrates that the Gulf is indeed among the fastest-warming bodies of water, said Roger Griffis, climate change coordinator for NOAA Fisheries Service.

The Gulf of Maine, he said, is “one of the poster children, unfortunately, for major changes.”

Its historical chill and strong tidal currents, which mix the waters and increase nutrients, make it one of the most productive marine ecosystems and a key summer territory for rare whales.

But half of 36 fish stocks studied in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, including many commercial species, have been shifting northward over the past 40 years, a 2009 NOAA report said.

Ironically, the warmer water has created ideal conditions for lobsters and contributed to an overabundance in recent years.

Puffin chicks have starved and died because of a lack of the herring and hake they need to grow and fledge.

Seemingly overnight, longfin squid — normally found in warmer, more southerly waters — appeared.

Scallops, also an important economic element in the Gulf, are vulnerable to ocean acidification, which scientists say is another effect of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Governments are reacting by creating new commercial fisheries; Maine regulators are in the process of creating a licensing process for black sea bass, a species associated more with the mid-Atlantic.

NEW YORK — A decision by organizers of the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade to allow one gay organization to march is a disappointment after decades of fighting by gay groups for full participation, several advocates said Wednesday.

Some were dismayed that the organizers had chosen just one lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender group to participate next year after ending a ban on them. Others expressed continuing mistrust.

Nathan Schaefer, executive director of Empire State Pride Agenda, called the announcement “disappointing and self-serving.”

“While this development is long overdue, inviting one group to march at the exclusion of all others … is a far stretch from full inclusion,” Schaefer said.

Sarah Kate Ellis, president of the gay-rights group GLAAD, said parade organizers — who announced other gay groups could apply for the parade in 2016 and afterward — “must be held accountable” to that pledge.

The New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee said Wednesday that OUTNBCUniversal, an LGBT resource group at the company that broadcasts the parade, would be marching up Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue on March 17 under an identifying banner.

In the past, organizers said gays were free to march in parade but only with other groups and not with banners identifying them as gay.

The inclusion of OUTNBCUniversal came in the midst of major triumphs for gays and supporters in court rulings on same-sex marriage. And it came after Pope Francis set the stage for a radical shift in tone about Roman Catholic Church teaching on homosexuality when he said “Who am I to judge?” about the sexual orientation of priests.

Parade organizers said they were “remaining loyal to church teachings,” and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, next year’s grand marshal, said the committee had his “confidence and support.”

“I have no trouble with the decision at all,” he said.

The exclusion of gay groups prompted first-term Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio to refuse to march in the 2014 parade, and Guinness and Heineken withdrew their sponsorships.

Whether it was the mayor or the pope or the people at Guinness who prompted the decision, gay groups took some satisfaction in their role even if it didn’t produce everything they wanted.

Andrew Madoff dies of cancer in NYC NEW YORK — Andrew Madoff, Bernard Madoff’s last surviving son, died of cancer Wednesday, his lawyer said.

Andrew Madoff and his brother, Mark, both worked on a trading desk at Bernie Madoff’s firm, a side of the business that wasn’t directly involved in their father’s $65 billion Ponzi scheme.

Bernard Madoff was arrested in December 2008. Almost exactly two years later, Mark Madoff hanged himself.

“One way to think of this is the scandal and everything that happened killed my brother very quickly,” Andrew Madoff told People magazine last year. “And it’s killing me slowly.”

Andrew Madoff, 48, died at a New York City hospital from mantle cell lymphoma, his attorney Martin Flumenbaum said Wednesday.

Funeral arrangements will be private.

The Washington Post

The Associated Press

TALLINN, Estonia — President Barack Obama on Wednesday harshly condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine as a threat to peace in Europe and pledged that NATO will protect allies who fear they will be Moscow’s next target. Standing on Russia’s doorstep, Obama declared “this is a moment of testing” for the Western alliance to stand up to the Kremlin.

At the same time, the Pentagon announced that 200 U.S. soldiers would participate in an exercise in western Ukraine starting next week. Though largely a symbolic move, distant from the conflict with Russian-backed separatists, it would mark the first presence of American ground troops in Ukraine since the crisis began.

Obama’s tough words set the stage for a pivotal summit of the 28-nation NATO alliance beginning Thursday in Wales. For years, Moscow seethed as NATO expanded its membership and pushed its reach to Russia’s borders, encompassing former republics of the Soviet Union. The backlash from Moscow was a long time coming, but now Vladimir Putin seems determined to assert Russia’s role as a great power.

Obama offered no new prescriptions for solving the central conflict that has put Eastern Europe on edge: Russia’s monthslong incursion in Ukraine. Multiple rounds of U.S. and European economic sanctions have done little to shift Putin’s tactics, and Obama remains staunchly opposed to U.S. military intervention. Unlike the Baltics and other Eastern European nations, Ukraine is not a member of NATO. A new prospect of a cease-fire emerged shortly after Obama arrived in Tallinn. But any potential agreement quickly fizzled when pro-Moscow separatists rejected the move and Russia — which has denied affiliation with the rebels — said it was not in a position to agree to the cease-fire because it was not a party to the conflict.

CHARLES DHARAPAK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The West’s inability to stem the crisis has compounded fears in Eastern Europe.

White House officials said Obama’s visit to Tallinn was meant to reassure Baltic leaders that the U.S. would defend their sovereignty if that happened. “We will defend our NATO allies — every ally,” Obama said in a speech to young people as well as political and civil leaders. “In this alliance, there are no old members or new members, no senior partners or junior partners — there are just allies, pure and simple. ” In response to the Ukraine crisis, the U.S. will contribute troops and equipment to a rapid response force in Eastern Europe that would be able to deploy within 48 hours.

NATO has already stepped up its air, land and sea rotations in the region. And Obama announced Wednesday that he would send more Air Force units and aircraft to the Baltics, likely to Estonia’s Amari Air Base.

The three Baltic nations — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — have long had an affinity for the U.S., which never recognized the Soviet Union’s nearly five-decade occupation of their territories. After the Soviet Union disintegrated, the Baltics turned to

the West and joined the European Union and NATO in 2004, much to the chagrin of Russia.

The leaders of Latvia and Lithuania traveled to Estonia on Wednesday to meet with Obama. While they welcomed U.S. commitments to the region, they pressed for more, including permanent NATO bases near their borders.

Other alliance members are loath to take that step because of a 1997 agreement with the Kremlin in which NATO said it would not have a permanent troop presence of a significant size on Russia’s border.

Despite NATO’s backing, Baltic leaders fear the prospect of a Russian incursion in part because their own countries fit some of the same rationales they see Putin making for his actions in Ukraine. Chief among them is the substantial number of native Russian speakers living in their countries, particularly in Estonia and Latvia.

Seeking to diminish that argument, Obama said the U.S. rejects “the lie that people cannot live and thrive together just because they have different backgrounds or speak a different language.”

THE NEW MEXICAN Thursday, September 4, 2014

Appeals: Last N.M. execution in 2001 Fry, the last person sentenced to death in New Mexico, was convicted of killing Betty Lee in 2000. The mother of five was stabbed and bludgeoned with a sledgehammer in a remote area of San Juan Timothy County. Fry also has Allen been sentenced to life in prison for three other murders in 1996 and 1998.

Allen was sentenced to die for strangling 17-year-old Sandra Phillips in northwestern New Mexico in 1994.

He also was convicted Robert Fry of the kidnapping and attempted rape of the Flora Vista teenager.

New Mexico’s repeal of the death penalty took effect July 1, 2009, and it applied to crimes committed after that date. Lethal injection was replaced with a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Continued from Page A-1 The Supreme Court has previously upheld their convictions and sentences.

Attorney General Gary King, representing the state, contends the death sentences for Fry and Allen are constitutional and should remain in place.

The Legislature’s decision to apply the repeal to future murders “furthers the long-standing policy of ensuring that criminals are punished according to the law that existed at the time of their crimes,” Assistant Attorney General M. Victoria Wilson said in written arguments to the court.

A group of University of New Mexico law professors and the New Mexico Criminal Defense Lawyers Association is supporting the latest legal challenge brought by attorneys for Fry and Allen.

“These capital sentences are political vestiges of an abolished state system of death. New Mexico has no compelling interest distinguishing Mr. Allen and Mr. Fry from future defendants who will escape execution because of repeal,” the defense attorneys’ group said in written arguments submitted to the court.

Then Gov. Bill Richardson didn’t commute the death sentences of Fry and Allen. At the time of the repeal, one potential death-penalty case was pending. Michael Astorga was later sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering a Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputy in 2006.

Lawyers for Fry and Allen contend their clients’ death sentences, in light of the 2009 repeal, violate state and federal constitutional provisions against cruel and unusual punishment and equal-protection guarantees.

“Executing Mr. Fry but not other members of the same class of offenders based only on a date is arbitrary and freakish” and violates the state constitution, Fry’s lawyer, Kathleen McGarry, said in written arguments.

She said Wednesday in a telephone interview that Connecticut’s highest court is considering a similar legal challenge involving death-row inmates sentenced before that state abolished the death penalty in 2012.

New Mexico’s last execution was in 2001. Child-killer Terry Clark’s execution was the first in the state in 41 years.

Journalist: Obama vows to ‘destroy ISIL’ Continued from Page A-1 retribution for U.S. airstrikes against the group.

The video horrified Americans and journalists around the world and touched a nerve in Israel, where news that Sotloff had connections to the country dominated newscasts and brought condolences from Israelis who knew the Miami-area native.

“Steve was part of a group of young Jewish Americans who are enamored with Israel and enamored with the Arab world,” said Ehud Yaari, an Arab affairs commentator for Israeli Channel 2 who met Sotloff. “They were dying to know and enter all the dangerous places, and that’s how he behaved.”

The killing also put pressure on the Obama administration to act more forcefully against the extremist group that has conquered a swath of Syria and Iraq.

“Our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy ISIL so that it’s no longer a threat,” Obama said during a visit to Estonia, using an acronym for the group.

“We will not be intimidated. Their horrific acts only unite us as a country and stiffen our resolve to take the fight against these terrorists,” the president said. “And those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget, and that our reach is long and that justice will be served.”

During an appearance in Maine, Vice President Joe Biden declared that the U.S. will pursue the militants to “the gates of hell.”

Obama also sought to clean up the political damage inflicted when he said last week that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for dealing with the Islamic State.

“It is very important from my perspec-

tive that when we send our pilots in to do a job, that we know that this is a mission that’s going to work, that we’re very clear on what our objectives are, what our targets are,” the president said.

Paul Hirschson, a spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Ministry, said on his personal Twitter account that Sotloff held Israeli citizenship. Israel’s censor cleared the information for publication Wednesday, suggesting the country had tried to conceal the news to protect Sotloff.

The Sotloff family could not be reached for comment on his citizenship.

Tech companies rushed to scrub the Web of the gruesome footage after its release, deleting a YouTube video and closing accounts on Twitter and other sites, according to two Silicon Valley insiders, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Sotloff’s family, friends and colleagues remembered him as an adventurous man who was fascinated with the Middle East.

Friends said he moved to Israel in 2005 as a student.

Outside his parents’ home in the Miami suburb of Pinecrest, family friend Barak Barfi read a statement late Wednesday that said Sotloff was torn between living a normal American life watching South Park, playing golf and eating junk food and going to the Middle East’s trouble spots as a journalist.

“He was no war junkie. He did not want to be a modern day Lawrence of Arabia,” Barfi said. “He merely wanted to give voice to those who had none. From the Libyan doctor in Misrata who struggled to provide psychological services to children ravaged by war, to the Syrian plumber who risked his life by crossing regime lines to purchase medicine, their story was Steve’s story. He ultimately

sacrificed his life to bring their story to the world.”

Michael Sapir, a former rugby teammate in Israel, said he last saw Sotloff in July 2013, shortly before he was kidnapped. The two watched a rugby match in Israel at the Maccabiah, the Jewish Olympics.

He said Sotloff shared stories from his adventures in the region. Sotloff, he said, was a true freelancer who reported what he saw because he was interested, and only later found places to publish the stories.

“He was fascinated with the Middle East,” Sapir said. “He’s a remarkable man with a great amount of courage, and I don’t mean courage like that his life is in danger, but very courageous to take on the adventure that he embarked on.”

The Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, a college north of Tel Aviv, said Sotloff graduated from its school of government, studying there between 2005 and 2008.

He previously studied journalism at the University of Central Florida.

Ilene Prusher, former deputy editor of the Jerusalem Report magazine, said she edited Sotloff’s stories from around the Arab world during the revolutions that rocked the region in 2011-12. She said his writing was full of detail and color that conveyed the day-to-day experiences of people in the region.

“He didn’t just sit in a hotel room but was out in the field, meeting lots of people,” she said.

Sotloff’s fate was reminiscent of the case of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was abducted in Pakistan in 2002 and later beheaded. His father was Israeli. Pearl’s last words were: “My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish.”

Gift: Couple have given millions to UNM Continued from Page A-1 Santa Fe Institute President Jerry Sabloff said in a statement. “We are extremely grateful to the McKinnons for their confidence in and support for our science and education programs.”

The Santa Fe Institute is a not-for-profit educational and research organization that brings together scientists from around the world in various disciplines to work on complex questions and problems. The funding will allow the institute to continue to expand its public education programs. Sabloff said the endowment also will go toward the institute’s goal of raising $100 million in donations by 2024.

In a statement, Ian McKinnon, a Santa Fe Institute trustee and longtime supporter, said, “We are honored to partner with you in helping to take SFI to the next level.”

It isn’t the first philanthropic gesture by the McKinnons to their home state.

In brief Reading prize for Piñon Elementary student Sonja Lovitt, a sixth-grader at Piñon Elementary School in Santa Fe, took one of the top prizes in Gov. Susana Martinez’s Summer Reading Challenge, designed to encourage kids to read over the summer.

Participants had to submit reading logs for at least 12 books they read from mid-April through July of this year and write a short essay, “Why I Love New Mexico.”

There were 18 students across the state who completed the challenge,

The McKinnons also gave $10 million to Albuquerque Academy in 2013. Both McKinnons graduated from the academy.

Ian McKinnon went on to earn a Master of Business Administration from Harvard. He was an investment banking analyst with Merrill Lynch & Co. before becoming a managing partner in Ziff Brothers Investments. He also is a founding partner of Sandia Holdings.

Sonnet Goodenough McKinnon and her father, Don Goodenough, formed a company to manufacture wine and beer tanks and brewing systems for commercial beer producers. In the past decade, she has committed time and resources to mentoring children who are the first in their families to attend college.

Lovitt and her family will receive an all-expenses-paid vacation to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. Other top prize winners are Issac Begay, a firstgrader at Animas Elementary School in Farmington, and Claire Lindstrom, a third-grader at Hope Christian School in Albuquerque.

Olivia Green, a student at the former Agua Fría Elementary School in Santa Fe, which has been replaced by El Camino Real Academy, also won an award, as did Los Alamos students Grace Zie and Reyana Narnanjo, among others.

The prizes were made possible by the state of New Mexico and a number of partners.

The afterschool and teacher-training program was offered in just four Northern New Mexico middle schools a few years ago and has grown to 25 schools. Now a Seattle nonprofit plans to take the initiative to schools nationwide.

“A lot of studies indicate that in order to get kids engaged in science and math, high school is too late,” Sabloff said. “You must start in middle school, if not earlier.

“New Mexico should have a terrific science and math pipeline out of high school and college,” Sabloff said. “It is not as strong as it should be.”

In recognition of the couple’s gift, the Santa Fe Institute has added the McKinnon name to the position of vice president for education and outreach.

Folk Art Museum wins $400,000 grant The Museum of International Folk Art has been awarded a $400,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for an upcoming exhibition on cochineal. The amount is the highest given by the endowment for a temporary exhibition.

Cochineal is an insect-based red dye source used by artists working in a wide range of media from pre-Columbian Peru and Mexico to today.

The Red That Colored the World will be on display at the museum from May 17 to Sept. 6, 2015, and later at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, Calif., from Nov. 21, 2015, to March 21, 2016.

Tesla: Second site will still be prepared Continued from Page A-1 Fe, said legislators had given Martinez almost everything she asked for during the last four years by approving a series of tax cuts and incentives for corporations. But, Egolf said, Martinez had been ineffective in recruiting, landing and retaining large companies.

“This governor’s efforts on that front have been lacking compared to her predecessors in both political parties,” Egolf said in an interview. “Her economic development record is abysmal, and Intel reducing its workforce in New Mexico is an even bigger story in that regard than Tesla.”

State Sen. Tim Keller, D-Albuquerque, had asked Martinez to call a special legislative session so the state’s executive and legislative leaders could mount a precise strategy to attract Tesla. He said this could have included funding for a rail spur to entice the company and creation of “post-performance incentives” for Tesla once it delivered a targeted number of jobs.

“What we saw was a failure of leadership,” Keller said.

“The way our state works, we need the governor to call a special session in order to have one.”

But state Rep. Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque, said Keller and other Democrats had blocked a bill earlier in the year that would have helped in recruiting Tesla.

During the 30-day legislative session that ended in February, the state House of Representatives approved a bill to provide discounted electric rates to large manufacturers such as Tesla. The bill then died in the Senate, where Democrats are in control and where Keller has the leadership position of whip, Gentry said.

“It’s a little bit disingenuous to be talking about a special session for the last six months.

What about doing something in the regular session?” Gentry said in a telephone interview.

Egolf, though, said the state Public Regulation Commission already has the power to authorize rate discounts for large manufacturers that promise to create jobs. In addition, the discounts for manufacturers that Gentry wanted would have driven up costs for all other ratepayers, Egolf said.

Five Republicans in the House of Representatives voted against giving manufacturers a discount on electric rates. They included Rep. Don Bratton, the House minority leader from Hobbs.

For her part, Martinez earlier this year said she was open to calling a special session regarding Tesla if it were necessary to close a deal.

But extra legislative sessions cost taxpayers at least $50,000 a day, and Martinez said she would not bring lawmakers back to Santa Fe unless it was necessary.

“Remember, it was the governor who said she was willing to call a special session if it becomes apparent during discussions that there are issues that need to be addressed in the very competitive and aggressive proposal that New Mexico has made to Tesla,” Knell said during late spring.

Martinez’s camp also said that a group of Democrats from Albuquerque, including Keller and 11 other legislators, had hurt the state’s chances of winning the factory by signing a public statement in which they said the state had to be careful not to overpay for

port a book featuring the voices of some 34 international scholars whose original research explores the symbolic meaning of red historically and today, the material meaning of cochineal in art and trade, and the human story behind the red-producing insect. The book will be published by Rizzoli Publications of New York and distributed worldwide.

Red will feature 100 to 150 items in various media — textiles, paintings, sculpture, decorative arts and manuscripts — culled from the Museum of International Folk Art and other institutions and private collections in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Central to the exhibition are items that were scientifically tested or otherwise documented to indicate cochineal’s presence.

The curators are Barbara Ander-

Tesla.

Democrat Ray Powell, the state land commissioner, said the process Martinez’s administration used to recruit Tesla was disjointed. Powell said he and his staff were kept in the dark, even as others in state government pitched property that his agency controls as the prospective site for Tesla’s factory.

“We were kind of told to bug off,” Powell said.

Aside from the political sniping, business relocation consultant John Boyd said Nevada gained an edge because it is a “right-to-work” state and it does not have a state income tax.

Boyd, of Princeton, N.J., said he had tracked the competition for Tesla, and the other state that had a shot was Texas, also a state with a ban on compulsory union participation and without a state income tax.

Nevada and Texas are among two dozen states that have approved laws allowing employees the right to choose whether to join or financially support a union. In New Mexico, organized labor groups have opposed the effort but “right-to-work” measures passed the Legislature twice, in 1979 and 1981. They were vetoed by then-Gov. Bruce King, father of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gary King.

Egolf said he knew the argument for a “right-to-work” law would be raised, but he said it did not cost New Mexico the Tesla plant. California, where Tesla’s auto assembly plant is headquartered, is not a “rightto-work” state, Egolf said, demonstrating that other factors such as quality of workforce were more important.

Another issue in New Mexico’s case, he said, was effort or the lack of it by Martinez. Former governors Gary Johnson, a Republican, and Bill Richardson, a Democrat, were aggressive in trade missions and pushing New Mexico as a job site, Egolf said. Martinez hasn’t shown the same energy and expertise, he said.

Tesla has done site-preparation work at the Reno Tahoe Industrial Center but had not publicly committed to building in Nevada, instead waiting as other states put together packages of economic incentives.

Last spring, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company would take the unusual step of spending millions to prepare sites in two states — or perhaps even three — before choosing the plant location.

A person familiar with Tesla’s plans told The Associated Press that a second site would still be prepared, in case Nevada is unable to deliver the financial incentives it has promised.

Tesla needs a factory to make cheaper batteries for its Model 3, an electric car the company hopes to sell by 2017 for about $35,000. Currently, Tesla offers only the Model S sedan, which starts at $70,000.

Tesla will pay about half the factory’s cost. Panasonic is the other large private investor. It will manufacture the lithiumion battery cells and invest in equipment.

Cox, nal for peer-reviewed research, coina professor at New York University’s cides with the Obama administration’s School of Law, and Thomas J.

Jeh Johnson, Law School — is the first comprehenthe Homeland Security secretary, has sive, independent analysis of the prosuggested that he might overhaul the gram’s efficacy in lowering crime rates, program, saying it needs “a fresh start.” the authors said.

Secure Communities, which began in Secure Communities was rolled 2008 under President George W. Bush, out over the course of several years, became a cornerstone of the Obama jurisdiction by jurisdiction, allowing The New York Times

the researchers to conduct essentially a randomized, controlled clinical trial to measure the effect of the policy.

Most efforts to study federal policy changes, Cox said, become before-andafter experiments pivoting around one moment in time. But with Secure Communities, he said, “we were able to see the experiment repeated 3,000 times.”

The staggered rollout allowed the researchers to better untangle the effect of the program from other factors that influence local crime rates, like rates of poverty and the size of the police force.

Through Freedom of Information Act requests, the researchers obtained all of the “performance data” that Homeland Security collected about the program from 2008 to early 2013, Cox said. In addition, they gathered Census Bureau data as well as crime reports and other municipal policing information from the FBI. They concluded that there was no “empirical evidence” that Secure Communities caused “a meaningful reduction” in the rates of serious crimes.

“This is important because Secure Communities specifically, and criminal deportation policies more generally, have long been publicly justified pri-

marily on grounds that they keep communities safer from violent crime,” the authors said in the study.

The study allowed that the program might have led to small reductions in the rates of motor vehicle theft and burglary. This result, the authors said, suggests that the people who are least likely to be deterred by the threat of deportation are the most serious criminals — the very people the Obama administration says the program is intended to catch.

Although the authors did not send the study to the immigration authorities for review, officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, an arm of Homeland Security, defended the program. They said it had helped lead to the deportation of more than 288,000 convicted criminals from October 2008 to May 2014, including more than 113,000 immigrants convicted of major violent offenses, such as murder, rape and sexual abuse of children.

“Secure Communities, by leaps and bounds, has allowed us to get the most egregious violators of our local statutes out of our communities and remove them from the country,” a senior agency official who was not authorized to speak

Horseback Riding

More than a year has passed since the young man died and the family’s supporters continue to hold vigils and protests to push for a decision in the case.

“This is something that is very wrong with the system,” said Jorge Estomba, a friend of the family who spoke on its behalf. “This is not a case that in and of itself is complex.”

Beyond the law, though, charging police officers for illegal use of force can pose a thicket for prosecutors for other reasons.

For starters, police departments investigate themselves, raising serious conflict of interest issues. As part of the same law enforcement team, prosecutors must rely on police work to make their cases and are reluctant to mar these relationships without unassailable evidence, legal experts said.

“I’m not going to cast ill on it,” said Michael R. Band, a former top prosecutor here and now a criminal defense lawyer.

“But it’s a fact of life. There is a relationship there.”

And state attorneys are elected, making them vulnerable to political pressure, lawyers said. Police unions wield considerable power in elections.

“They are in bed together, which is why police shootings should be investigated independently,” Weiner said.

In the end, even if they are charged or indicted, most officers are acquitted by juries.

Those who are shot are not always sympathetic in the eyes of jurors; in many cases, they were committing crimes when killed. Witnesses can sometimes suffer credibility problems.

By contrast, police officers are held in high esteem — depending on the jury — and are traditionally viewed as guardians of the community.

on the record said in an interview.

With criminal recidivism rates just lower than 50 percent, he added, the program most likely prevented more than 100,000 people from going out and committing another crime.

“I don’t know how you can say that does not have an impact on community safety,” he added.

Cox and Miles countered that while the program might have reduced “in absolute terms” the number of crimes being committed, it had not necessarily made communities safer. A more important measure of safety is the crime rate — the number of crimes per population — which measures the likelihood that someone will become a victim of crime, they said.

“If crime rates fell as a result of Secure Communities, it would support an inference that ICE is removing immigrants who commit serious crimes at high rates,” the professors wrote in an email. “But we found that crime rates are in essence unchanged.”

The findings, they said, seem to underscore much of the existing social science evidence that immigrants on average offend at lower rates than the native-born.

James Hammond, right, a seismologist at Imperial College in London, collects data from a seismometer Sunday on Mount Paektu.

WASHINGTON — Compare unemployment rates, and America’s job market looks much stronger than Europe’s.

The U.S. rate for August, being released Friday, is expected to be a near-normal 6.1 percent.

In the 18 countries that use the euro currency, by contrast, it’s a collective 11.5 percent.

Yet by some measures, Europe is doing better. It’s been more successful in keeping people working, letting the disabled stay on the job and boosting the proportion of women in the workforce.

And Europeans in their prime working years — ages 25 to 54 — are more likely to be employed than Americans are.

Fewer than 77 percent of prime-age Americans have jobs, compared with 80 percent in Belgium, 81 percent in France and 82 percent in the Netherlands, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

If Americans ages 25 to 54 were as likely to be working as Germans the same age, 8.3 million more Americans would have jobs.

“Where we used to talk about the U.S. having a high-powered labor market in the late 1990s, Germany has that now,” says Jacob Kirkegaard, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

It’s true, of course, that the unemployed have a much harder time finding a job in, say, Spain or Greece than the United States. Spain’s unemployment rate is nearly 25 percent. For people under 25, the rate tops 50 percent.

Though the eurozone’s overall unemployment rate is 11.5 percent, individual countries include low-rate nations like Germany and Austria (4.9 percent) as well as some with much higher unemployment than the United States: Portugal (14 percent), Italy (12.6 percent), France (10.3 percent), Belgium (8.5 percent).

Yet Josh Bivens, research director at the liberal Economic Policy Institute, says America’s relatively low “headline unemployment rate is painting too rosy a picture of how the U.S. labor market is doing.”

The fall in the U.S. unemployment rate has been exaggerated by rising numbers of adults neither working nor looking for work. The government counts people as unemployed only if they’re looking for a job. When many stop looking, the unemployment rate can fall even if few people are hired.

The share of Americans ages 16 to 64 either working or seeking work has fallen to 72.7 percent from 75.3 percent at the end of 2007, when the Great Recession began. In the 28 countries in the European Union, the figure has risen to 72.3 percent from 70.5 percent in late 2007. The United States and Europe calculate their employment rates in broadly similar ways.

No single reason explains why prime-age employment and workforce participation trends are weaker in the United States. But among the factors:

Europe better protects primeage workers. “There’s nowhere in Europe where you can just fire a worker,” says Dean Baker, co-director of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research.

By contrast, “it’s very easy for companies to fire workers in the U.S.,” Kirkegaard said.

Judith Carney, 50, of Morgan Hill, Calif., lost her job at a defense manufacturer in January. She’s been looking for work since.

“I am very scared that I won’t find a job and that I will lose my townhouse,” Carney said.

By contrast, Frederic Furman, 28, who manages an Indonesian restaurant in Paris, says job security is ingrained in French culture. “It’s not something I think about,” he said at his restaurant near the bustling Grands Boulevards. Full-time job contracts make it difficult and expensive for employers to shed staff.

Those job protections can have a downside, though: Companies are less likely to hire workers if they know they can never get rid of them.

Disabled Europeans still work The U.S. disability program forces many ailing Americans to choose between working and collecting disability. The number receiving disability payments from Social Security has gone from 7.1 million at the end of 2007 to 8.9 million.

European countries make it easier for people to strike a balance between work and time away.

“The U.S. system has a strong bias that insists [on] looking at disability as a static or permanent condition,” says Ilene Zeitzer, a former Social Security Administration official. “Either the person is so disabled [he or she] cannot work or they are not that disabled and thus they are denied benefits.”

In European countries such as Sweden, by contrast, workers can take sick leave and then transfer if necessary to temporary disability.

Older European women are working more Though American and European women are similarly likely to be working or seeking work, in Europe the percentage is climbing. In the United States, it’s falling.

Researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have found the trend pronounced among European women 45 and older: The percentage working or looking for work has risen 2 percentage points in four years.

For American women, that percentage has dropped.

Kirkegaard says one reason could be the need to care for aging parents.

That need “is a lot less prevalent in Europe” because such services are more likely to be paid for by government programs, he says. Such generous social programs are supported by Europe’s higher tax rates.

It’s the second leading cause of death among New Mexico teens and young adults.

Drug deaths LOCAL NEWS continue Driver in shooting speaks on TV to decline Woman tells ‘Good Morning America’ about officer firing on minivan full of children

ON OUR WEBSITE u Watch Oriana Farrell’s interview with Good Morning America on our website, www.santafenewmexican.com. u Also, see the viral video of the chase.

By Howard Houghton The New Mexican

The case of Oriana Farrell, the Tennessee woman awaiting trial on charges stemming from an October traffic stop near Taos that devolved into chaos and gunfire, is once again getting national attention.

In an interview that aired Wednesday morning on the ABC television network’s Good Morning America program, Farrell,

whose name often has been spelled Ferrell in case documents and news reports, talked about her fear during the encounter she and her five children had with New Mexico State Police officers.

The incident began when Farrell was pulled over by an officer who said he planned to give her a speeding ticket. Before the officer issued the ticket, however, Farrell

fled. She told Good Morning America that she thought she was free to drive away.

Matters escalated the second time the officer stopped Farrell’s minivan. Dashboard camera video clips that went viral on the Internet show that Farrell still refused to cooperate with the officer and locked herself inside the vehicle. The video shows the officer then used a baton to break a window on her locked minivan as her children screamed inside. Then, as she drove off, the video shows, another state police officer who had arrived at the scene shot at the vehicle’s tires.

“I was just feeling more and more unsafe,” Farrell, 39, said in the interview Wednesday,

Rate decreased 16% statewide for 2nd year; policy changes credited

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

In New Mexico, where drug deaths outpace fatal falls and car crashes, the rate of lives lost to overdoses decreased by 16 percent between 2011 and 2013, the state Health Department announced Wednesday.

The decline comes amid public policy changes in the state aimed at curbing drug deaths, such as stepped-up monitoring of doctors’ prescriptions for opioid painkillers and expanded availability of the drug naloxone, often known as Narcan, which can reverse the effects of an overdose of heroin or a prescription opioid.

“This is the first time since 1990 that the rate of drug overdose deaths has decreased for two years in a row,” said Retta Ward, Gov. Susana Martinez’s Cabinet secretary for the Department of Health.

“The department has worked with many partners in addressing the problem of drug overdose death, and this shows that those efforts are beginning to pay off,” Ward said.

In the most recent national survey of drug overdose deaths, in 2011, the national average was 13.2 deaths per 100,000 population, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New Mexico’s rate of 25.9 deaths per 100,000 people — 521 deaths total — was nearly double the national average. In 2011, only West Virginia saw a higher rate of overdose deaths than New Mexico, which has been at or near the highest rate in the nation for nearly a quartercentury.

In 2013, the state’s overdose deaths slowed to 21.8 per 100,000 population, with a total of 449 deaths, according to the New Mexico Bureau of Vital Records

Rio Arriba sheriff a no-show as license revoked Rodella had asked to address board, but changed his mind

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

RUIDOSO — Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella didn’t show up Wednesday as expected to contest the revocation of his law enforcement certification at a hearing before the state Law Enforcement Academy Board.

Rodella had asked to address the board, which was meeting in Ruidoso, but academy Director Jack Jones said he had received a call Wednesday morning from Rodella’s lawyer saying the sheriff would not attend.

Jones notified Rodella on Aug. 15 that his certification was being revoked. That same day, the sheriff was arrested by FBI agents on charges of violating the civil rights of a

26-year-old Española man in an alleged road-rage incident in March.

Robert Gorence, the sheriff’s lawyer, emailed The New Mexican a letter to Jones that was dated Tuesday, Sept. 2. The letter said Rodella would not fight the Tommy Rodella “temporary order of suspension,” but would wait for his certification to be automatically reinstated if he is acquitted of the federal charges against him.

Jones said Rodella would receive his recertification if the federal charges are dismissed or if he is found not guilty, but he said the board did not have the authority to recertify Rodella at the Wednesday meeting.

In a letter to Rodella, Jones said the sheriff could make his case before the board about

why his license should not have been suspended, but the board would only discuss whether the director “acted within the scope of the rule in ordering the suspension.”

Asked what argument the sheriff would have made, Jones said, “I don’t know what he was going to do. I guess he was going to throw himself on the mercy of the board.”

The revocation means Rodella is barred from carrying a firearm or making arrests, but he is still acting as sheriff. His term expires in December. In June, Rodella lost to James Luján, a former sheriff’s deputy, in the Democratic primary. There is no Republican candidate.

Meanwhile, said Capt. Quintin McShan, a spokesman for the Rio Arriba County Sheriff’s Office, “He’s been going to the office and taking care of administrative duties.”

Rodella already was ordered Aug. 15 not to

Students in Santa Fe’s public schools spend between six and 15.5 hours taking standardized tests every year, according to a presentation to the school board Wednesday.

The most any student might spend on state tests is 19.5 hours — or 1.8 percent of instructional time over the course of a year, says a report prepared by the district’s chief information and strategy officer, Richard Bowman. In comparison, recent national studies show students in large urban districts spend between 20 and 50 hours on testing every year.

School board President Steve Carrillo said testing has become an “explosive” issue, but “we’ve always taken tests. It’s not such a bad thing. … We can’t get rid of all testing,” he said.

He said Bowman’s presentation was to give community members a realistic assessment of the time invested in testing, especially since test scores and participation are now a major part of teacher evaluations and are key in measuring a school under the state’s A-F grading system.

In Santa Fe Public Schools, fourth- and seventhgraders are tested the most, at 15.5 hours per year.

Third-graders spend 15 hours testing. Students in grades five, six, eight, nine and 10 undergo 13.5 hours of testing, while 11th-graders spend 11 hours testing.

Gov. touts kids’ breakfast in one spot, on attack in another Martinez releases soft, attack commercials

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Gov. Susana Martinez hit the airwaves with not one, but two new campaign commercials on Wednesday.

One is a “soft,” positive spot in which the governor, surrounded by schoolchildren, talks about a free breakfast program for low-income students, as well as a law prohibiting welfare recipients from using electronic benefit transfer cards at bars and casinos.

The other is an all-out attack ad, in which the Martinez campaign lambastes Democratic opponent Gary King for votes in the Legislature a quarter-century ago.

In the first 30-second spot, titled

“Breakfast After the Bell,” viewers see a moderate Martinez — the governor who cares, especially about the children. As frequently is the case when she’s showing this side of her political persona, Martinez does most of the talking herself in the ad.

Here’s the script: Martinez: It’s harder for hungry kids to learn. That’s why I started a program that ensures every child gets a good breakfast.

Martinez saying “I started” the Breakfast After the Bell program might rankle Democratic legislators who sponsored bills to establish the program, advocated by a nonprofit organization called Appleseed. But Martinez in 2011 did sign the bill that mandated the breakfast program for low-income elementary schools, and her administration implemented it.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Cynthia Nava, D-Las Cruces, passed the Senate unanimously and passed the House with just 10 Republicans voting no.

The program has been successful in feeding more students. In its most recent scorecard, issued in January, the national Food Research & Action Center ranked New Mexico second, behind only Washington, D.C., for school breakfasts. The report specifically mentioned Breakfast After the

Paint spilled on I-25 off-ramp Bursts of pink, yellow, red, blue and pale turquoise paint mar a half-mile stretch of roadway on Santa Fe’s south side that the state Department of Transportation estimates will cost up to $70,000 to remove.

New Mexico State Police suspect vandalism. Officers began investigating the mysterious intermittent splatters on the exit from northbound Interstate 25 to St. Francis Drive after a Transportation Department employee

reported them early Tuesday.

“I don’t think people realize the cost to the public for such a thrill ride,” said Melissa Dosher, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Department.

“We are going to press charges for the amount of the vandalism and seek reimbursement.”

The location of the paint across a bridge complicates its removal and adds to the cost, Dosher said.

Removal starts with a highpressure water rinse and application of asphalt. The bridge portion of the exit, where a $70,000 improvement project

just wrapped up, could require an additional epoxy overlay to counter weakened asphalt binding on the bridge that blasting from the high-pressure wash could cause.

Beyond the nuisance and expense of the mess, Dosher said, the paint could confuse drivers and stains the appearance of a primary gateway into Santa Fe, so leaving it on the road is not an option.

“It’s very distracting,” she said. “And when you have so many tourists coming to the area, it just looks really bad.”

“We still have a long way to go in addressing this problem, but this shows that progress is being made,” she said.

The two-year trend toward reducing overdose deaths perches New Mexico at a statistical crossroads, according to Landen. He said three-year reductions in overdose deaths tend to signal sustained trends of improvement.

“The key is to sustain the decrease,” Landen said. “This is a key year. We need to keep down the amount of prescribed opioids, and we have to be careful for a rebound of possible heroin overdose deaths.”

The full dashcam video recorded from the officer’s patrol car, which can be viewed at santafenewmexican.com, shows the officer who stopped Farrell clearly told her she wasn’t free to leave after the initial traffic stop. The Good Morning America report didn’t include that segment of the recording, which shows that before Farrell drove off the first time, the officer told her: “I’m giving you a lawful order to turn off the vehicle while I go back and tell dispatch.”

After Farrell fled from police following the second stop, officers pursued her to a motel, where she was arrested. She eventually was indicted on charges of child abuse, aggravated fleeing and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In August, The Taos News reported that a New Mexico Court of Appeals judge had proposed dismissing the criminal case against Farrell, citing objections about the grand jury selection process. Prosecutors had 20 days from his notice, filed Aug. 21, to file a response.

The state police officer who shot at Farrell’s fleeing minivan, Elias Montoya, was fired but is

appealing his termination.

It’s not the first time Farrell has spoken out since the incident. In a statement sent to The Taos News from jail shortly after her arrest, she challenged the officers’ use of force and said she was only trying to keep her children safe when she fled.

Her daughter, Kana Ferrell, told Good Morning America the traffic stop was “the most horrifying moment of my life.”

COMMENTARY BABETTE HERMANN

Group aims to help animals in Navajo Nation IF YOU GO When: Noon Sept. 20 Where: TravelCenters of America, Country Pride Restaurant, 3404 W. Historic Route 66, Gallup Contact: Babette Herrmann: babsie220@gmail. com, www.facebook.com/ fourcornerspetalliance

us a life preserver, but the work that a brave few have accomplished has been nothing short of miraculous.

Thousands of lives have been saved through working with other shelters and rescues to transfer puppies and dogs (yes, cats, too) to places such as Denver and other areas to increase the likelihood of adoption.

But trying to coordinate in this region is challenging because of the great distance between organizations and the limited resources available to save dogs, let alone network and market to the best of our abilities.

Things can be better here in northwest New Mexico. It’s one of the reasons I have launched the Four Corners Pet Alliance.

Through collaboration, northeast Arizona and northwest New Mexico shelters and rescues can better coordinate and network to save more lives.

For example, Navajo Nation Animal Control in Fort Defiance, Ariz., gets anywhere from 10 to 30 animals dropped off on a daily basis.

Animal control officers will sometimes call on rescues and shelters to pick up the adoptable animals.

If no one arrives to pick them up, the officer euthanizes most animals by the close of business each day. It’s depressing to think of those animals’ fate, but it’s the reality we face.

While transferring animals to other locations is paramount,

there’s the need to create more effective spay-and-neutering campaigns; promote responsible pet ownership and community involvement; bolster local adoptions; and to examine options as individual entities that we may not have thought of before.

Four Corners Pet Alliance plans to address these topics at least once a month so we can generate ideas — ideas that eventually get turned into action that benefits the animals.

Additionally, I feel in the long run, the alliance committee and members can coordinate to address local and state lawmakers on animal rights legislation, write grants and hold fundraisers for our region’s shelters and rescues, and invite speakers to our meetings from other rescues and shelters that have been

successful at promoting key programs.

But before we can entertain any of these ambitions, we must first get started.

Four Corners Pet Alliance will hold its debut meeting Sept.

20 at the Country Pride Restaurant in Gallup. We will discuss the pet overpopulation crisis and other challenges facing this region. Shelter/rescue representatives who plan to attend are asked to submit no more than three topics for the agenda by Sept. 15.

Together, we can save move lives and promote more dog and cat love and responsible pet ownership that this area so desperately needs.

Babette Herrmann is a writer based in Gallup and fosters dogs and cats for various area rescues.

Congratulations to Alison Reider!

hen I moved to northeastern Arizona, it wasn’t in my five-year plan to get involved in puppy rescue — the puppies and dogs, in essence, came to me.

It took some time for me to realize that the Navajo Nation wasn’t just saddled with poverty and lack of running water, it was also overflowing with unwanted or neglected dogs and puppies.

Stray dogs would show up at my place and beg for food, but with my own household of dogs, I couldn’t take them in — at least not initially.

Then came my first official rescue: Six adorable heeler puppies that were dropped off at a nearby well. My fiancé, Dave, picked them up and brought them home.

The puppies cried as we pulled hundreds of ticks off each one of their little bodies, followed by drenching them in a tick dip. Then I made a series of calls, but many rescue groups told me to drop the puppies off at a local shelter. I couldn’t find it in my heart to drop these puppies off at any shelter and be left to ponder their fate.

It was frustrating, but after numerous calls, I found a Colorado rescue group to take the pups, and have been involved with rescuing and fostering puppies and dogs ever since.

It’s an emotion-filled volunteer job and not always easy for someone with a thin skin. I have witnessed the horrors of a resource-poor animal shelter, and felt distraught and heartbroken when a long-term foster puppy succumbed to epilepsy.

Notwithstanding, going on five years of fostering and rescue, I have come to the realization that rescues and shelters in northeast Arizona and northwest New Mexico are stretched thin on resources, time and space.

At times, I feel that we are drowning with no one to throw

LOCAL & REGION

Española charter claims conspiracy to close school Complaint filed against district, state agency over ‘red-tagged’ building

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Leaders of an Española charter school say the public school district is refusing to provide transportation and food services to its students and is using “scare tactics” to force the school to close down.

The dual-language school, Cariños de los Niño’s Charter School, which serves about 200 K-8 students, filed a complaint in state District Court late last week alleging the state Construction Industries Division has unfairly “red-tagged” the facility, calling it unsafe, as part of a conspiracy with Española Public Schools.

Those court documents allege that Española Public Schools Superintendent Daniel Trujillo offered to give the facility to Rio Arriba County officials for use as a recreational site and that Con-

struction Industries Division staffers only visited the site in late August, after classes had started and without giving prior notice.

But the state contends the facility has racked up 24 safety violations, including exposed conductors, improper door closures, inadequate ventilation rates and a heating system that doesn’t work.

S.U. Mahesh, director of communications for the Construction Industries Division, said it is not safe for students or school employees to be in the building.

Mahesh said he was not sure whether the school or the school district is responsible for upkeep of the facilities. A state statute notes that a local chartered school may pay for operation and maintenance of its facilities or it may contract with the district to do so. The statute also states that charters must negotiate with districts regarding transportation services and food services.

In an email, Cariños Chancellor Vernon Jaramillo said the district is responsible for providing those services. He

Funeral services and memorials

said the school is having a contractor come in this week to look at the repairs and offer an estimate on the cost.

Efforts to reach Española Public Schools Superintendent Daniel Trujillo for comment were unsuccessful Wednesday afternoon.

Personnel from the state Public Education Department were in Española on Wednesday trying to work with both sides, according to department spokesman Larry Behrens.

In May, the school sued the district, alleging it was breaching its lease contract by kicking the school out a year before the lease expires in June 2016. The district said it wanted to move some of its kindergarten students to the facility, formerly the home of Española Middle School.

State District Judge Sarah Singleton ruled over the summer that the school has the right to stay at its current site until its lease ends. The district has since found space for the kindergarten students elsewhere.

The other charges against King in this spot have been raised in previous Martinez ads. Most of them refer to King votes in the 1980s.

The mention of “higher taxes on food” refers to a bill in 1987 that suspended tax rebates on food and medicine for two years. This vote took place during a budget crisis. The bill passed with bipartisan support and was signed by Republican Gov. Garrey Carruthers. King, responding to a previous Martinez ad last month, said the Legislature passed that bill “so state government could continue to operate.”

As for raising his own pay, those votes cited in the ad were to raise the per diem for legislators, which at the time was about $75 a day during legislative sessions. As for the pension, that refers to a 1987 bill to allow lawmakers of any age to get a pension after 15 years of service, or to retire at the age of 60 after 12 years of service, or at age 65 after five years of service. King, who is 59, has said he did not receive any pension for his years in the Legislature.

OUR VIEW Thomas Friedman

Once again, it’s time for Fiesta!

The New York Times

P

resident Barack Obama has been excoriated for declaring that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for effectively confronting the Islamic State group. In criticizing Obama for taking too much time, Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News Sunday that “this ‘don’t-do-stupidstuff’ policy isn’t working.”

That sounded odd to my ear — like we should just bomb somebody, even if it is stupid. If Obama did that, what would he be ignoring?

First, experience. After 9/11 that sort of “fire, ready, aim” approach led George W. Bush to order a ground war in Iraq without sufficient troops to control the country, without a true grasp of Iraq’s ShiiteSunni sectarian dynamics and without any realization that, in destroying the Sunni Taliban regime in Afghanistan and the Sunni Baathist regime in Iraq, we were destroying both of Iran’s mortal enemies and thereby opening the way for a vast expansion of Iran’s regional influence.

We were in a hurry, myself included, to change things after 9/11, and when you’re in a hurry you ignore complexities that come back to haunt you later.

There are no words to describe the vileness of the video beheadings of two U.S. journalists by the Islamic State, but I have no doubt that they’re meant to get us to overreact, à la 9/11, and rush off again without a strategy. The Islamic State is awful, but it is not a threat to America’s homeland.

Second, the context. To defeat the Islamic State, you have to address the context

A

out of which it emerged. And that is the three civil wars raging in the Arab world today: the civil war within Sunni Islam between radical jihadists and moderate mainstream Sunni Muslims and regimes; the civil war across the region between Sunnis funded by Saudi Arabia and Shiites funded by Iran; and the civil war between Sunni jihadists and all other minorities in the region: Yazidis, Turkmen, Kurds, Christians, Jews and Alawites.

When you have a region beset by that many civil wars at once, it means there is no center, only sides. And when you intervene in the middle of a region with no center, you very quickly become a side.

The Islamic State emerged as an extreme expression of resentment by one side: Iraqi and Syrian Sunnis who felt cut out of power and resources by the pro-Iranian Shiite regime in Baghdad and the pro-Iranian Alawite/Shiite regime in Damascus.

That is why Obama keeps insisting that the United States’ military intervention must be accompanied, for starters, by Iraqis producing a national unity government — of mainstream Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds — so our use of force supports pluralism and power-sharing, not just Shiite power.

But power-sharing doesn’t

come easy in a region where kinship and sectarian loyalties overwhelm any sense of shared citizenship. Without it, though, the dominant philosophy is either: “I am strong, why should I compromise?” or “I am weak, how can I compromise?”

So any onslaught we make on the Islamic State, absent national unity governments, will have Shiites saying the former and Sunnis saying the latter. That’s why this is complicated.

And this is a sectarian power struggle. Consider a Times article last week about how the Islamic State is actually being led by a combination of jihadists and disgruntled Sunni Iraqi Baathist army officers, who were shoved aside either by us or by Iraq’s Shiite-dominated governments.

The Times article noted: “After the Islamic State stormed into Mosul, one [Shiite Iraqi] official recalled a startling phone call from a [Sunni] former major general in one of Saddam’s elite forces. The former general had appealed months earlier to rejoin the Iraqi army, but the official had refused. Now the general was fighting for Islamic State and threatened revenge. ‘We will reach you soon, and I will chop you into pieces,’ he said, according to the official, Bikhtiyar al-Qadi, of the commission that bars

some former members of Saddam’s Baath Party from government posts.”

Repeat after me: “We will reach you soon, and I will chop you into pieces.” That is what we are dealing with here — multiple, venomous civil wars that are the breeding ground of the Islamic State cancer.

Third, our allies are not fully allies: While the Saudi, Qatari and Kuwaiti governments are pro-American, wealthy Sunni individuals, mosques and charities in these countries are huge sources of funds and fighters for the Islamic State.

As for Iran, if we defeat the Islamic State, it would be the third time since 2001 that we’ve defeated a key Sunni counterbalance to Iran — first the Taliban, then Saddam, now the Islamic State. That is not a reason not to do it, but it is reason to do it in a way that does not distract us from the fact that Iran’s nuclear program also needs to be defused, otherwise it could undermine the whole global nonproliferation regime. Tricky.

I’m all-in on destroying the Islamic State. It is a sick, destabilizing movement. I support using U.S. air power and special forces to root it out, but only as part of a coalition, where everybody who has a stake in stability there pays their share.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Preserve National Parks building, history

T

om Ribe’s piece (“National Parks building too important to close off,” My View, Aug. 23) is right on the mark. For 75 years, this structure has housed National Park Service specialists whose expertise assists parks like Bandelier National Monument and Pecos National Historical Park. Because of these hardworking public servants, parks in the Southwest are unimpaired and open to all for recreation and enjoyment of the special heritage they protect.

The building itself tells a story worthy of public appreciation: It was built using traditional methods by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration. It is an ideal place to tell their story. The pottery, weaving, carvings and paintings it contains are stunning.

Due to budget realities, the building has quietly been closed to the public. I encourage our senators and representative to consider national monument or national park status for the grand old place with adequate funding to allow it to serve the parks and public as was originally envisioned in 1939.

Santa Fe

Has anyone thanked the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe? Zozobra was great this year. We appreciate all the work by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, the Santa Fe Police Department, the special units keeping us safe and city workers who cleaned up the mess.

We enjoyed the new look of Zozobra and the special effects were exciting. The fireworks were the best we’ve ever seen.

Thank you.

on the board in front of my bed, but no one answered. After 45 minutes, I almost called 911. Finally, an aide came to help my roommate. After helping her, she took out my catheter. The aide left my roommate’s bloody linens on the bathroom floor.

I hand-delivered a letter of complaint to Bruce Tassin.

A month later, I received a form letter from Christine Kipp stating they had received my letter. Until Christus staffs all units adequately, I encourage everyone to go elsewhere.

Staffing issues Inadequate nurse staffing is dangerous to the patients and hard on the nurses.

For three nights, I was in Unit 2200 at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and there were two nurses to take care of 22 patients.

While I was there, the woman in the bed next to me had excessive bleeding and my catheter became blocked. I kept ringing the call button to no avail.

I repeatedly called the phone number

Stress (Dedicated to the young people being held at the Artesia Family Residential Center.)

Stress is like the color black.

Stress sounds like a sobbing mother.

Stress smells like blood.

Stress tastes like jail food.

Stress feels like a broken bone.

Luiz A. Lopez Santillan

Capital High student, Central American background

ll of Santa Fe is familiar with the more public side of the annual Fiesta de Santa Fe. There are summer processions from the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi to Rosario Chapel and back again. Then, an appearance by the Fiesta Court at the burning of Zozobra. Finally, Fiesta proper, starting early on a Friday with la Misa del Pregón, continuing through the day with the Entrada of Don Diego de Vargas, visits on the Plaza and all through Fiesta weekend with various activities.

Behind the scenes, though, the volunteers in the community who take on the role of Don Diego de Vargas and who portray the historical figures who make up his cuadrilla, continue working away almost from the moment of selection. The young women selected as La Reina and her court also stay busy with their many duties. The court is supported in its efforts by members of the Santa Fe Fiesta Council, the industrious civic group that brings us Fiesta each year.

Over the summer, in addition to participating in the processions and the novena Masses (twice a day), the court visits local churches, bringing the sights and sounds of Fiesta with them. Members also travel to Española, Las Vegas and Taos to participate in Fiesta activities there.

Then, the week before Fiesta (and this year, last week, too) the Fiesta Court goes visiting — public schools, government offices and old folks’ homes. Traveling with mariachis and good cheer, they share Fiesta with the world. It’s an important part of this community commemoration.

For longtime Hispanic families, the return of Don Diego de Vargas to Santa Fe meant the firm planting of their roots in what to them was a New World. Because the Pueblo Revolt had occurred, the Spanish returned with a different attitude and respect toward the Pueblo people.

Together, the two groups forged a relationship that created the foundation for the New Mexico we know today. They certainly made the frontier safer as they fought together to defend towns and farms from raiders. Later, the Americans became part of the cultural mix that created New Mexico.

Today, more than 300 years after the return of Don Diego de Vargas — who famously promised to remember Mary, the mother of Jesus, should the settlers return — the descendants of those colonists have not forgotten the sacrifices made by their ancestors. The Virgin Mary, depicted in statue form and called La Conquistadora and now, Our Lady of Peace, is the central figure in the Fiesta celebration.

For the secular, of course, there is the notion of community coming together to mark a shared history, as well as the many fun events of the weekend — the Pet Parade and the Historical/Hysterical Parade are two popular highlights.

There will be food, music and dancing (but not too much drinking, we trust) all weekend on the Santa Fe Plaza. In the midst of all the commotion will be the hardworking Fiesta Court. By sundown on Sunday night, when the candelight procession winds its way out of the cathedral asilica up the steps to the Cross of the Martyrs (a tribute to the Franciscans killed in the Pueblo Revolt) the solemn nature of Fiesta takes over once more. It brings a fitting end to Fiesta de Santa Fe, a tribute to the past and to those who came before.

Sierra Club hikes

top picks

6:30 p.m. on NBC NFL Football The 2014 NFL season kicks off in the Pacific Northwest, where the Seattle Seahawks begin defense of their Super Bowl title against the Green Bay Packers.

The Pack won the NFC Central last year with an 8-7-1 record, but were summarily ousted from the playoffs in the wild card game by the San Francisco 49ers and Phil Dawson’s field goal as time expired.

7 p.m. on FOX Sleepy Hollow Actions can have unexpected results — and that’s particularly true in the case of this show. In “The Golem,” Henry Parrish (guest star John Noble) becomes Ichabod’s (Tom Mison) avenue of communication with Katrina (Katia Winter), but an unforeseen side effect is the revival of a terrifying threat. Nicole Beharie and Orlando Jones also star.

7 p.m. on USA Rush As Rush (Tom Ellis) reconnects with his old flame Sarah (Odette Annable), he is surprised to notice how much she has changed in the new episode “Get Lucky.” Alex (Larenz Tate)

City Amsterdam Athens Baghdad Bangkok Barcelona Beijing Berlin Bogota Buenos Aires Cairo Caracas Ciudad Juarez Copenhagen Dublin Geneva Guatemala City Havana Hong Kong Jerusalem Lima

starts to worry that he is getting in over his head as he ventures deeper and deeper into the darker side of Rush’s world. Manny (Rick Gonzalez), Rush’s dealer, urges Eve (Sarah Habel) to take control of her life.

8 p.m. on USA Satisfaction In the new episode “Through Security,” Grace (Stephanie Szostak, pictured) comes across some very upsetting information, while Neil (Matt Passmore) muses over how best to handle a decidedly ominous warning he has received. Leon Thomas, Michael Vartan and Maggie Lacey guest star; Katherine LaNasa also stars.

NEW YORK — Off to a bad-as-can-be start to her U.S. Open quarterfinal, losing the serve twice while dropping the first three games, even Serena Williams found it hard to believe.

“I was thinking: ‘I’m down two breaks?’ ” she said. “But I … felt like, ‘It’s not the end of the world.’ ”

DARRON CUMMINGS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Quickly turning things around and taking complete control, Williams stretched her Flushing Meadows winning streak to 19 matches by eventually overpowering 11th-seeded Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-3, 6-2 on Wednesday night.

“I don’t feel like I was doing too much wrong,” said Williams, a five-time champion at the U.S. Open, including the past two years. “So I said, ‘If she keeps it up, she absolutely deserves the win.’ And I just tried to do a little better.”

Simple as that, huh?

PREP VOLLEYBALL SANTA FE PREPARATORY

NEW YORK — Wes Welker.

Robert Mathis. Aldon Smith. Josh Gordon.

A solid quartet to put on any NFL field. Except that they are among 29 players suspended by the league heading into the 2014 season.

Among those big names, Cleveland’s Gordon got the longest ban, sidelined for the entire season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. His absence might be the most damaging, too, and not only for its Wes Welker length. A Pro Bowl wide receiver, Gordon was the only established target on the Browns, who figured to be an also-ran even with him in the lineup.

That Gordon’s case lingered for weeks while appeals were heard, and was not decided until just before the season, didn’t help the Browns, either.

“How it played out was not ideal circumstances for us, obviously, but that’s behind us,” coach Mike Pettine said. “You can’t worry about guys you don’t have. … I’ve said this all along, you don’t replace a Josh Gordon, a top-five NFL receiver, with just one player.”

Welker’s four-game suspension, announced Tuesday, shouldn’t hurt

Every point counts

Michael Sam’s 2nd chance comes on Dallas squad

By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press

IRVING, Texas — Michael Sam waded through a crowd of reporters and was settling in front of yet another bank of cameras when someone asked if this was what it was like in St. Louis.

“The heat?” Sam said, drawing laughter from two dozen or so people surrounding him as he stood in front of a large Dallas Cowboys star on a wall just outside the locker room.

No, the latest version of the circus after the league’s first openly gay player signed to the practice squad of America’s Team. He’s unlikely to get into the opener Sunday against San Francisco and might still face long odds of joining an active roster anytime soon.

But Sam got his second chance to make it in the NFL four days after the Rams released the seventh-round pick when they had to cut the roster to 53 players.

The Cowboys, who are seeking help with their pass rush because of injuries and the offseason release of franchise sacks leader DeMarcus Ware, expected it, too. Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten said coach Jason Garrett addressed the signing with the team.

“I think he does it as good as anybody I’ve ever been around, of addressing issues and moving forward and putting our focus on what it needs to be and that’s a good 49ers football team,” Witten said.

Garrett said the move was “about football” and deflected any questions about the impact of bringing in Sam or how it might affect the locker room.

Blue Griffins ride wave of high expectations

By James Barron The New Mexican

T

he excitement of a home volleyball opener captured the spirit of the Santa Fe Preparatory Blue Griffins.

So much so, the nine varsity players twice practiced their entrance onto the court Tuesday, with their music playing and the visions of a strong home crowd in Prep Gymnasium cheering them on against the McCurdy Lady Bobcats the following day in their heads.

This wasn’t just any home opener, though. For the seven seniors who dot the roster, this is their last home opener. They have spent the better part

of the last four seasons — and especially the last three — producing what might be the best stretch of volleyball the program has seen. Not since the days of Alfredo Lujan in the mid-to-late 1990s has Prep been this relevant on the volleyball court.

The Blue Griffins are 52-13 since the 2011 season, with two District 2AA (now 2AAA) tournament titles as well as a regular-season title in 2013 to show for it.

“It feels good that people know about us, and they know we’re a skilled team,” said junior outside hitter Bianca Gonzales.

But as they raised the bar on success, so have the expectations. They were never higher than they were last November, when the Blue Griffins entered the Class AA State Tournament pool play as the No. 3 seed.

Which is why the bitterness of finishing third in a pool play that produced the eventual state champion in Hatch Valley and losing to Santa Rosa in the first round of the tournament lingered —

but for only a while. That sting motivated Prep in preparation for this season, one in which the Blue Griffins were ranked third by coaches in a preseason poll conducted by the website New Mexico Overtime Sports Center (nmotsc.org).

“I think in the summer, our team did a lot of work to get over that,” said senior Bae Lee Harman. “That way, that doesn’t happen again.”

The work included dedicating themselves to the summer workout program, and playing in camps at Santa Fe High, Española Valley, New Mexico Highlands University and, ironically, Santa Rosa.

They also traveled to Alamosa, Colo., for a jamboree at Adams State College. Prep showed how much it had improved by placing in the Division I bracket — the highest at the tournament.

“This is probably the first year the girls played a huge amount compared to years past,” Bhakta said.

“So, they have definitely put in the time of getting

Herrera shows old fire in SFHS win over Capital

By James Barron The New Mexican

Kayla Herrera got the kill and the bucket.

The Santa Fe High senior was so good Wednesday night, she found a way to combine SFHS 3 her two favorite sports. In the proCapital 0 cess, she helped the Demonettes wake from their slumber.

All it took was a kill off a block in Game 1 of a nondistrict match with Capital that ended up flying through the retracted basketball hoop — with a swish, no less — that turned around

a sluggish start and produced a 25-22, 25-20, 25-18 win in the Demonettes’ home opener that doubled as Capital’s season opener in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium.

Yet, Herrera was so focused on the match that she didn’t even watch her spike finish with a masterpiece 3-pointer that brought the crowd to life as Santa Fe High crept to within 12-9.

“I didn’t even notice,” Herrera said with a smile. “Did it bounce off [the backboard]?”

No, Kayla. It was nothing but net, and head girls basketball coach Elmer Chavez would have been proud of it.

What made Sam Estrada, Santa Fe

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Eric J. Hedlund, ehedlund@sfnewmexican.com

High’s head volleyball coach, proud was that he saw the old Kayla Herrera back. That was the one who was aggressive and confident at the net and scorched the opposing court with her kills as a sophomore.

Estrada saw the player whose vertical reach (which was measured in the summer at 9 feet, 2 inches) makes the 5-8 outside hitter a potent force on the frontline regardless of class.

That was missing for most of the 2013 season.

“She is definitely jumping higher now than she did last year,” Estrada said. “Last year, some days it was a good effort, and other days, for whatever reason, she wasn’t jumping as

high. So her timing was off and she was trying to guess when to go and how high to jump. This year, she’s hitting the ball at a higher point.”

Herrera said she felt she was thinking too much on the court last fall, as if she was trying to dissect her swing, the angle of the hit and which part of the court she wanted to hit. While she looked much more confident and loose on the court as she collected 16 kills and eight digs, Herrera admitted that she felt detached from the match at times.

“When I got subbed out, I told my teammate Monet [Ortega], ‘Mo, my

Tennis: Serena Williams will meet No. 17 Makarova on Friday Continued from Page B-1 “Against her, you can’t wait, you can’t give her time, you can’t fail to push her to her limits — because if you do, she’s a runaway train,” Pennetta said.

Williams is bidding to become the first woman with three consecutive U.S. Open titles since Chris Evert won four in a row from 1975-78. The 32-year-old American also is trying to pull even with Evert and Martina Navratilova at 18 Grand Slam singles trophies.

Williams had not yet reached a major semifinal in 2014, bowing out in the fourth round at the Australian Open, the second at the French Open, and the third at Wimbledon. The last time she didn’t reach at least one

Grand Slam title match in a season was 2006, when she entered only two of the sport’s top tournaments.

“Well, honestly, I’ve had a tough year in the majors and I’ve [lost to] some great players that weren’t in the top 10,” Williams said. “So you can never underestimate anyone.”

On Friday, Williams will meet 17thseeded Ekaterina Makarova, who beat 2012 and 2013 runner-up Victoria Azarenka 6-4, 6-2. The other women’s semifinal will be No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark against unseeded Peng Shuai of China.

One of these is not like the others: Williams is the only member of that quartet with a Grand Slam title.

Wozniacki, the runner-up at the 2009 U.S. Open, is the only other woman left who’s even participated in

a major semifinal.

Earlier Wednesday, Kei Nishikori became the first man from Japan to reach the U.S. Open semifinals since Ichiya Kumagae in 1918, outlasting third-seeded Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7), 6-7 (5), 6-4.

“I hope,” Nishikori said, “it’s big news in Japan.”

That match went 4 hours, 15 minutes, and the 10th-seeded Nishikori managed to shake off any lingering exhaustion from his previous victory, which lasted 4:19 and ended at 2:26 a.m. Tuesday, equaling the latest finish in tournament history.

In the semifinals, Nishikori will play No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who beat No. 8 Andy Murray Wednesday night after Williams’ win ended.

Djokovic fended off a fading Murray

7-6 (1), 6-7 (1), 6-2, 6-4 in a matchup of past U.S. Open champions to reach the tournament’s semifinals for the eighth consecutive year.

It took a while for the No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded Djokovic to push himself out front in a well-played, back-and-forth, 3-hour, 32-minute match that ended after 1 a.m. Thursday.

Djokovic broke the eighth-seeded Murray to go up 3-1 in the third set, then fended off a pair of break points in the next game. On the first, Murray sailed a backhand long to end a 28-stroke point, then leaned over and put a hand on his knee.

On the second, he dumped a forehand into the net, then slammed his racket against his right thigh and yelled.

PREP ROUNDUP

Desert Academy scrapes past East Mountain The New Mexican

Welcome to the 2014 boys soccer season, Desert Academy.

While most of the soccer-playing state was getting matches Desert Acad. 3 in, the Wildcats waited patiently for WednesE. Mountain 2 day to kick off their season. The difference between a team opening its season and one that was almost halfway through it — that was East Mountain in this case — showed.

Still, Desert Academy showed enough skill and chemistry to eke out a 3-2 win over the Timberwolves at Alto Park.

The start was good for the Wildcats, as senior David Onstott opened the scoring in the 11th minute with an assist from Noah Gibson. But East Mountain responded with scores in the 22nd and 28th minute to take a 2-1 lead into the break.

“We were a little timid out there,” Desert Academy head coach Rob Lochner said.

“We weren’t winning as many 50-50 balls out there. We’d win them, but then we’d

turn them back over. In the second half, we talked about trying to keep our composure and not to panic.”

Desert Academy was more aggressive in the second half, and it resulted in an equalizing goal by newcomer Guru-Dez Khalsa, who joined the team after coming from India, in the 65th minute.

Onstott completed the comeback with the winner in stoppage time as Gibson found him on a cross in the penalty box.

“We showed some composure and stayed in the [match] to find those two goals,” Lochner said. “I couldn’t have been happier with the first [match].”

LOS ALAMOS 6, ST. MICHAEL’S 1 The young Horsemen (1-3-1) found themselves within 2-1 of the Class AAAAA Hilltoppers late in the second half before the barrage of shots came. Los Alamos (2-3) scored four goals in the last 15 minutes, and they weren’t cheap goals.

“We just let them score some long-range goals and that took the wind out of our sails,” said Merritt Brown, St. Michael’s head coach.

VOLLEYBALL MCCURDY 3, SANTA FE PREPARATORY 2 It wasn’t the home opener the Blue Griffins wanted, but it was the season opener the Lady Bobcats will cherish.

Prep came out flat and an inspired Lady Bobcats squad took advantage, winning Game 1 25-10 before slugging it out with Prep for a 25-10, 10-25, 25-13, 24-26, 17-15 win.

“McCurdy just came out on fire in the first game and took it to us,” said Kiran Bhakta, Prep head coach. “I’m not sure if it was first home-game nerves or what. We just didn’t come out and play in that first game. In Game 2 and 3, we took the fight back to them, and the fourth was just back and forth until they pulled it out in the end.”

Desiray Anderson had 13 kills, two blocks and three aces for the Blue Griffins (1-2), while Joy Maran added 10 kills and three blocks.

Myla Borden and Courtney Timlin both recorded three aces to tie Anderson for team-high honors.

Prep: Blue Griffins face difficult schedule Continued from Page B-1 the extra touches in the summer time.”

The Blue Griffins see how important that extra amount of work is in fine-tuning their skills. Bhakta feels Prep’s overall skills — from serving to passing to setting to hitting to defense — as well as their overall chemistry is better now than it was last year, which produced an 18-4 record.

It was needed, considering that almost all the players compete in other sports, especially in the spring.

“I feel that I got to know my team better, how they all play, and how we play together,” Gonzales said.

All of that was tested right off the bat when Prep headed to Las Cruces to play the AAAAAA Bulldogs in the season opener Aug. 23.

The team traveled the night before to be sharp for the match, but there was one element the Blue Griffins struggled with — letters.

The extra A’s attached to Las Cruces’ classification had the players intimidated at the start of the match. What Bhakta liked was that the feeling melted away, although the Bulldogs won handily 25-9, 25-10, 25-14.

“All I expected was for my girls to play better each game, and look at the point values,” Bhakta said. “We got better, even though it might not have been the result that we wanted.

McCurdy’s Maria Elena Rendon, left, spikes the ball over Santa Fe Prep’s Bianca Gonzales during Wednesday’s match at Santa Fe Prep. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

You have to look at the positives as they went against that team. By the third game, they definitely put a good effort out there.”

It was just the beginning of

what will be the most difficult schedule the seniors have seen.

The Blue Griffins will face Bosque School, last year’s AA runner-up that is now playing AAAA on Sept. 9, West Las

Vegas on Sept. 16 and compete in Santa Fe High’s Tournament of Champions in two weeks, as well as Santa Fe Indian School’s tournament in early October.

Bhakta stresses the tournaments as important warmups for what Prep will face in November for the state tournament. The Blue Griffins came out flat at last year’s pool play and finished third out of the three-team pool. That forced them to play Santa Rosa, the No. 1 seed going into the tournament that finished second in its pool, in the opening round.

“The pool play was disappointing,” Bhakta said. “I felt our team was definitely better than that. I don’t know if it was the combination of nerves or the pressure. I can’t tell you.”

But the Blue Griffins rebounded and played three intense games against the Lady Lions, before falling apart in a 26-24, 23-25, 26-24, 25-11 loss at state.

“We were both at the same level of play,” Harman said.

“But it was relly nerve-wracking because the crowd was really into the game. I know our crowd was. And every point, if you messed up, you had to get back into the game.

Otherwise, your level of play would go down and you’d get down in that match. Every point mattered.”

Every point matters a little bit more when there’s only 18 matches left — at least — in a prep career.

SFHS: Capital’s lack of communication hurt Continued from Page B-1 head’s not in it,’ ” Herrera said. “‘I need to focus in and get zoned in.’ And she told me, ‘You got it.’ ” That was definitely the case in Game 1, as she had four kills. Her kill/basket ignited an 11-3 run that gave the Demonettes a 19-15 lead. Capital tried its best to respond and even got within 24-22 on Julissa Gandera’s kill before Herrera ended it with a kill. The Lady Jaguars did not have the offensive firepower to swing with Santa Fe High, so they relied on their

defense to keep them in the match. At times, it did as the Demonettes offered up plenty of hitting and passing errors.

Other times, though, Capital head coach Max Vargas felt his team didn’t communicate enough, and he often yelled, “Talk to each other” when he noticed the lack of chatter.

“They weren’t doing enough of that,” Vargas said. “It’s something we need to work on. It was real inconsistent. I was hoping it would be better.”

Meanwhile, Santa Fe High needs to work on coming out strong at the start of games.

Capital came out with plenty of energy and communication on defense and took a 10-6 lead.

That was before the Demonettes took advantage of a couple of hitting errors by the Lady Jaguars and scored seven straight points for a 13-10 lead. Herrera again rose to the occasion and had six kills after that as the lead grew to as much as 23-15.

“It’s something we need to address in practice,” Estrada said of the slow starts.

“Maybe we need to mimic the first play of the game, so they can understand that first play is the most important one.”

Lady Panthers might be legit in District 2AAA

By James Barron The New Mexican

The path to a second straight District 2AAA title might look easy in the preseason for Santa Fe Preparatory, but the next two weeks will determine if there might be a serious challenger.

The Pecos Lady Panthers are 2-0 after beating Mora on Tuesday for the first time in almost four years, and have the look of a team on the rise. With strong senior leadership in hitters Ida Valencia and Janine Montoya plus setter Cassie CdeBaca, Pecos is showing head coach Leonard Velasquez something he didn’t see last season.

“We didn’t give up,” Velasquez said after Pecos lost Game 2 by a 25-22 count. “We were down 14 to seven [in Game 3], and they scored only four more points. That shows a lot for these girls. Last year’s team would have given up.”

While that was step forward, Pecos hits the most challenging part of its schedule with tournaments at Tucumcari and Fort Sumner. At Tucumcari, the Lady Panthers’ pool-play partners include Santa Rosa, which was seeded No. 1 in the Class AA

(now AAA) tournament last year; and Logan, which made it to the A (now AA) quarterfinals.

The following week has Pecos in a tournament that includes the host Vixens, last year’s A champions, Santa Rosa, Logan and Hagerman, which made it the A semifinals.

“These next two weekends will really show us what we have,” Velasquez said.

“Hopefully we’ll hang in there and compete.” uuu

St. Michael’s did more than open its season with a five-game win over Las Vegas Robertson on Tuesday. It was the first win against a team not named Capital, Santa Fe Indian School or Hot Springs since 2012. Those three teams represented all seven wins (four against SFIS, two vs.

Hot Springs, one to Capital) for the Lady Horsemen in 2013. They also beat Hot Springs in October of 2012 for their last win of a 6-15 season.

The last team outside of that circle to fall to St. Michael’s? The Lady Cardinals, also in five games on Sept. 25, 2012.

uuu

One setter, or two?

This season has seen some teams changing their philosophy. Santa Fe High, Santa Fe Prep and Pecos are using two setters.

While it’s early in the season, it seems that the two-setter system is doing just fine.

Santa Fe High had Isabella ChristianPadilla and Shania Borrego share the passing wealth with 12 and 13 assists, respectively. Pecos’ duo of CdeBaca and sophomore Megan Armijo had 15 and 13 assists apiece. uuu

The top two teams in AAAA, according to coaches in the nmotsc.org poll, are not off to flying starts. Pojoaque Valley, voted No. 1 by coaches, struggled in head coach Miquella Lovato’s debut against Albuquerque Sandia Prep, which the Lady Sundevils won 25-22, 18-25, 18-25, 15-25, on Aug. 26.

Second-ranked West Las Vegas struggled in its final match against Magdalena in the Belen Invitational, losing in five games to the Lady Steers.

LaRoche delivers late, Nats top Dodgers

Big day for the Big Ten to make playoff statement

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Adam LaRoche came off the bench in the ninth inning and drove in five runs, including Nationals 8 a tying homer and later a goDodgers 5 ahead grounder in the 14th that sent the Washington Nationals to a wild 8-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.

Asdrubal Cabrera added a tworun shot in the final inning for the Nationals, who withstood two late rallies in a game that lasted 5 hours, 34 minutes — the longest at Dodger Stadium this season.

Washington took two of three in the series, a potential playoff preview between NL division leaders.

CUBS 6, BREWERS 2 In Chicago, rookie Jorge Soler had a two-run double to become the second player in Cubs history with as many as 10 RBIs in his first seven games as the Cubs beat Milwaukee.

Soler joined Mandy Brooks, who had 12 RBIs in 1925, as the only Chicago players to accomplish that feat.

METS 4, MARLINS 3 In Miami, Travis d’Arnaud hit a go-ahead RBI double in the eighth inning to lift New York to a win over the Marlins.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit a two-run home run, and Matt den Dekker had three hits for the Mets, who won two of three in the series with the Marlins.

ROCKIES 9, GIANTS 2 In Denver, Nolan Arenado hit a go-ahead three run home run, and Corey Dickerson followed with his second homer of the game, leading the Rockies past San Francisco.

The first-place Angels lost both games in the series after sweeping the A’s in a four-game set before arriving in Houston.

ROYALS 4, RANGERS 1 In Kansas City, Mo., Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer, Jason Vargas pitched into the seventh inning and the Royals beat Texas to finish off a three-game sweep.

Christian Bergman (2-2) pitched six sharp innings, limiting the Giants to two runs on nine hits and helping the Rockies take the season series 10-9. It was the first time Colorado had won the season series with its NL West rival since going 11-7 against the Giants in 2008.

CARDINALS 1, PIRATES 0 In St. Louis, Peter Bourjos singled home the winning run in the ninth inning, giving the Cardinals a series sweep and their fifth straight win with a victory over Pittsburg.

Pittsburgh closer Mark Melancon (2-4), in his second inning of work, got the first two men before Yadier Molina drew a walk. John Jay singled to left. Bourjos followed with a single to center and Molina easily beat the throw home.

BRAVES 7, PHILLIES 4 In Atlanta, rookie Christian Bethancourt had three hits in his

return to the major leagues, including a fifth-inning single that helped the Braves break out of their scoring slump in a win over Philadelphia.

AMERICAN LEAGUE TWINS 11, WHITE SOX 4 In Minneapolis, Kennys Vargas homered for the second consecutive night, and Eduardo Nunez had four hits as the Twins defeated Chicago.

The Twins broke loose for five runs in the fifth inning to break a 3-all tie and set up Trevor May (1-4) for his first major league win. Vargas’ RBI single and Eduardo Escobar’s two-run triple did the bulk of the damage for Minnesota.

ASTROS 4, ANGELS 1 In Houston, Chris Carter homered twice and drove in three runs, Collin McHugh pitched into the eighth

BLUE JAYS 7, RAYS 4 In St. Petersburg, Fla., Dioner Navarro and Edwin Encarnacion each hit two-run home runs, and Toronto rolled to their fourth straight win with a victory over the Rays.

Adam Lind had four straight hits and scored twice for the Jays, who have won a road series against the Rays for the first time in more than seven years.

YANKEES 5, RED SOX 1 In New York, Brian McCann homered among his career high-tying four hits, and the Yankees bounced back to end a three-game losing streak, beating Boston.

McCann homered a day earlier as the Yankees got battered by Boston, leaving them five games behind for the second AL wild-card spot. In the rematch with the lastplace Red Sox, he drove in three runs and gave an early cushion to Hiroki Kuroda (10-8).

SEATTLE — At some point they will take a moment to acknowledge the celebration taking place around them. Pete Carroll and his team will step back from an offseason focused on forgetting what happened in 2013 and for a brief second appreciate the festivities commemorating Seattle’s first Super Bowl title.

Once the Super Bowl banner is unveiled, it will be time to embark on the quest to become the first team in a decade to repeat.

“There’s a challenge every game, particularly opening game. After coming off the offseason and all that, there’s always a big challenge,” Carroll said.

Seattle will raise the curtain on the 2014 NFL season Thursday night hosting fellow NFC contender Green Bay. It’s the first regular season meeting between the teams since the “Fail Mary” two years ago when Seattle won on a disputed touchdown on the final play of a game that also helped bring an end to the use of replacement officials.

But history was not the focus for Seattle this entire offseason, whether it was a controversial win two seasons ago, or its 43-8 romp over Denver in the Super Bowl.

“I think the thing that really separates us is we always stay true to who we are,” Seattle safety Earl Thomas said. “We’re going to recapture what we did last year and add a few more things to it.”

Green Bay knows about winning a title and the pitfalls of trying to repeat. Aaron Rodgers got his championship four seasons ago and followed up by going 15-1 in the 2011 regular season

6:30 p.m. Thursday on NBC The Packers of last season are an example of how quickly things can go bad for a championship-caliber team after a few personnel changes and some key injuries.

A record of 8-7-1 was enough for a division title, but it was far below the standards set during the Aaron Rodgers era.

The Seahawks, coming off a Super Bowl win, should heed that lesson before getting too excited about a potential dynasty.

Line: Seahawks by 6.

Pick: Seahawks

before being bounced in the divisional round of the playoffs by the New York Giants.

With the addition of Julius Peppers to the defense, a revamped secondary and Year 2 of Eddie Lacy creating a balanced offense, many pundits believe the Packers can dethrone Seattle in the NFC. That test begins Thursday.

“This is a game that we’ve been in before after we won the Super Bowl. We know the excitement that surrounds it,” Rodgers said. “It’s a highly rated game. We’re playing at a tough environment with the Super Bowl champions, so it’s going to be a tough test for us.”

Here are things to watch for as the season begins: Quality QBs: Not a bad matchup of quarterbacks to begin the season with Rodgers and Seattle QB Russell Wilson taking center stage.

Both led their respective offenses with precision during the preseason. Wilson led the Seahawks to scores on 11 of 13 preseason possessions, including nine touchdowns. Rodgers, who missed seven games last season with a collarbone injury, wasn’t quite as dynamic in the pre-

the Broncos nearly so much considering the other receiving talent on hand. And having Peyton Manning throwing to them.

More harmful: Matt Prater’s four-gamer, which takes away a significant weapon. Prater made 25 of 26 field goals in 2013, including a record 64-yarder. Denver is going with a rookie, Brandon McManus.

Prater has been in the NFL’s drug program, which includes alcohol, since a DUI arrest in 2011.

He said he realized one more strike meant he’d face sitting out an entire season when he decided to have some beers “right after the season.”

“Why did I risk it?” Prater said.

“I made a mistake. I don’t have an excuse for it. I screwed up and now I’m paying the price for it.”

For Indianapolis and San Fran-

cisco, the loss of key defenders could have a huge impact.

Mathis, gone for four games, led the league with 19½ sacks in a career year. The Colts will face high-powered Denver and Philadelphia in the first two weeks without their best player on that side of the ball.

“We’ve got a soldier down,” Colts DE Cory Redding said of Mathis. “We’re going to wait for him to come back, but until then, we’re going to hold down the fort.”

Smith’s absence means San Francisco is without two playmakers at linebacker, because All-Pro NaVorro Bowman is recovering from a gruesome knee injury sustained in the NFC title game loss to Seattle. Smith is gone for nine games for violating the drug and personal conduct policies, which means both he and Bowman might not be in the lineup before midNovember.

NO. 7 MICHIGAN STATE (+12½) AT NO. 3 OREGON It’s not just a big game for Spartans.

The Ducks get dinged for not being tough enough against power-based teams (see consecutive losses to Stanford). Statement opportunity for Oregon, too. Oregon 31-21.

NO. 14 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (+2½) AT NO. 13 STANFORD In a conference filled with star quarterbacks, USC’s Cody Kessler and Stanford’s Kevin Hogan can get overlooked. Cardinal coach David Shaw called them the “Rodney Dangerfields” of the Pac-12’s elite QB class.Stanford 27-24.

season but the Packers’ offense looked potent in his limited playing time.

Welcome and good luck: Green Bay rookie center Corey Linsley and Seattle rookie right tackle Justin Britt get difficult introductions to the NFL. Linsley was thrown into a starting role when J.C. Tretter went down with a knee injury during training camp. His challenge will be trying to communicate with the rest of the offensive line and hear Rodgers’ adjustments in the loudest stadium in the NFL. “If I’m a rookie and I’ve got Brandon Mebane my first game — he’s one of the best nose tackles in the league,” Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin said. “So it’s going to be big for him. I’m going to pray for him. It’s going to be a long night, man.”

Britt won the starting job during training camp. And his NFL debut means having to slow down the pass rush of Clay Matthews and Peppers trying to create havoc off the edges.

Speed and more speed: The Packers and Seahawks want their offenses to use speed, but in different ways. The Packers want to push the tempo, going no-huddle and trying to keep opponents from getting their defenses set. Seattle will rely more on speed from the skill positions this season, taking advantage of a healthy Percy Harvin and rookie Paul Richardson.

Eight is enough: Lost in the chaos of the final play two years ago was a miserable first half for Rodgers during which he was sacked eight times. Green Bay could not slow the pass rush of Irvin and Chris Clemons. The Packers went to a jumbo blocking unit in the second half and were finally able to slow Seattle’s rush.

The personnel is different, but protecting Rodgers will be critical.

Forget the “Fail Mary:” The final play from the last meeting of these two teams will never be forgotten. The “Fail Mary” has been a talking point leading into the opener, but the Packers say there is no extra motivation because of the outcome the last time they visited Seattle.

“I’m pretty sure we’ve all moved on. I haven’t talked about it probably since it happened,” Green Bay wide receiver Jordy Nelson said.

Plus, defensive tackle Ray McDonald was arrested last week on a domestic abuse charge, something NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said he will clamp down on. Goodell announced stiffer penalties for such incidents last week, with six games for a first offense.

“Some people have a magic number of if you have one, if you have two, if you have eight, if you have seven, I’ve always believed one is too many,” 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. “We’re continuing to work to try to figure out what we can do better. Better as an organization, better as individuals, whether you’re a player, whether you’re a coach, whether you’re in the administrative side.”

Ravens standout Ray Rice is suspended for two games for a domestic abuse issue, a penalty that Goodell later referenced as not being strong enough. Balti-

Judgment day for the Big Ten. That might sound ominous, but the conference has a chance Saturday to make a statement with three marquee out-of-league games that could resonate with the College Football Playoff selection committee come December.

No. 7 Michigan State faces the stiffest test.

The defending Big Ten champions play at No. 3 Oregon, a game that even Commissioner Jim Delany acknowledged has potential to be “disproportionately important” for the perception of the conference.

The other pivotal points come in South Bend, Indiana, where Michigan faces No. 16 Notre Dame, and Columbus, Ohio, where No. 8 Ohio State hosts Virginia Tech.

The picks:

INDIANS 7, TIGERS 0 In Cleveland, Danny Salazar pitched his first career shutout, scattering eight hits, and the Indians beat Detroit.

more opens with defending AFC North champion Cincinnati, and Rice’s backup, Bernard Pierce, was hobbled in the preseason.

Two players are suspended indefinitely: Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon and Redskins safety Tanard Jackson. Neither’s loss should be too significant.

One other player gone for the season, Arizona linebacker Daryl Washington, is a significant one for the Cardinals, who previously lost Karlos Dansby in free agency.

They also had top defensive lineman Darnell Dockett tear up his right knee and is done for 2014.

Other familiar names whose suspensions likely will hurt their teams are Patriots CB Brandon Browner (four games), Eagles tackle Lane Johnson (four), Cowboys DB Orlando Scandrick (four), and Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather (two).

MICHIGAN (+5) AT NO. 16 NOTRE DAME It’s the last game scheduled between the Wolverines and the Fighting Irish, because Notre Dame needed to clear some room on its schedule to accommodate its new ACC relationship.

Attractions near Jemez Springs rightly popular with day-trippers

Water cascading down inside Soda Dam makes this spot a popular one for kids and adults looking to beat the heat after a long hike.

High demand hot spots

By Will Webber The New Mexican

JEMEZ SPRINGS here are plenty of lessons to be learned from a holiday weekend hike to one of the more popular spots in the Jemez Mountains.

Chief among them? Be patient.

A recent stop at the Jemez troika of Battleship Rock, Soda Dam and Jemez Falls certainly produced a fair share of memories. The hikes are easy and peaceful, the sites are breathtaking.

It’s one of the countless places in Northern New Mexico that make locals feel lucky to have such a picturesque backdrop just a short drive from the stoplights and noise of the small towns that surround places like this.

This particular spot in the Jemez lies just a few miles outside Jemez Springs along N.M. 4 as it meanders to (or from, depending on your direction) the Valles Caldera near Los Alamos. The drive alone is rewarding.

The twists and turns through thick forest and eye-catching rock formations make the stress melt away.

But then there’s the real lesson.

Heading out for a day trip to the great outdoors on a holiday weekend — Labor Day, in this case — means dealing with the traffic and the overcrowding. Together, they practically defeat the purpose of getting away from it all.

We’ll start at Soda Dam, a geologic formation created by millions of years’ worth of mineral deposits that created the bubbly rock wall that inhibits the flow of the Jemez River.

The water eventually found its way, gushing through a hole in the rock.

Whether it’s an easy climb to the top of the dam or a quick dip into the waters below, it is equally enticing and peaceful. It’s also very kidfriendly, as the holiday crowds clearly demonstrated. The river water is cool, but easy to cross. The river — or stream as anyone outside New Mexico might call it — is shin-deep in most places this time of year.

Navigate your way into the swirling pool into which the dam’s small waterfall makes its deposit, and you’ll experience firsthand the lure of so many private pools and springs throughout the Jemez Mountains.

There, pockmarked throughout that tiny wading pool of thigh-deep water, are pockets of hot water squeezed through the ground by the same tectonic forces that dominate the entire area’s violent volcanic past.

Parking in this particular spot is troublesome on busy days. There is no real turnoff to visit the area, so it creates congestion and plenty of narrow passes for cars heading up or down the mountain because

In brief Bike trek to Missouri begins Sunday The Santa Fe Trail Bicycle Trek is set to begin Sunday, covering about 1,100 miles on paved public roads.

Riders can leave their group after four days and are not required to ride the entire distance.

These trips are nonprofit, inexpensive camping trips with all gear carried by truck. All meals are catered by schools and universities. No cooking is required in camps.

The cost is $45 per day, which includes breakfast and dinner, campsites and shower facilities, daily ride sheets and maps, and all gear carried by truck.

There are two objectives in organizing these nonprofit trips: First, to provide a safe, fun, and inexpensive trip; second, to explore and learn about the Santa Fe Trail from Santa Fe to Missouri. Third is to learn its history and contribution to our country’s western expansion, the challenges faced along the trail and the work currently being done to preserve historic sites along the entire course.

the roadside shoulder isn’t terribly wide. On most days, no big deal. On occasions like Labor Day, the tip is to proceed at a snail’s pace and be careful of car doors, wandering kids and bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Head up the road a bit and the next stop will be Battleship Rock, a gorgeous jagged cliff that rises sharply out of the Jemez River basin. Its name is derived from its resemblance to the prow of a ship. In reality, it’s one of those climb-me-if-you-dare features that are so readily visible in the Jemez Mountains.

Getting to the top isn’t easy and certainly isn’t for kids. It requires an ambitious hike that begins at the base and wanders back into the forest, then up the tail end of the structure.

From the campground far below it’s not uncommon to see the occasional hiker peek through the craggy rocks that line the top of the cliff — undoubtedly making the less adventurous types green with envy.

The picnic areas down below are ideal — if you can score one. Weekends make this a very popular spot, but even if you secure a site it’s no guarantee of isolation. The trails that lead to and fro often wander straight through most picnic areas, thereby making even the quaintest family cookout a fishbowl event for all those who wander by.

All of which leads to the next stop, the Jemez Falls. This time of year, the falls are just what they say they are: A

IF YOU GO What: Battleship Rock, Soda Dam, Jemez Falls Where: Along N.M. 4 just outside Jemez Springs Fees: There are day use fees for parking and picnicking in the Battleship Rock campground area, but there are a number of pull-off parking areas along the highway that do not require fees.

What you should know: It’s a very popular spot, particularly on weekends and holidays. If crowds aren’t your thing, take a more adventurous trek deeper into the Jemez wilderness.

Jemez Falls is just one of the many spectacular stops along the busy hiking trails that line the Jemez Mountains.

70-foot waterfall that flows down the rock face that lines the entire area.

Get close enough, and they turn into an impromptu shower. Stand farther away, and they allow you to bask in the shallow tide pool near their base; another popular spot for kids and adults looking to beat the heat.

The real treat for the falls comes in the serenity of non-peak holidays or weekends, particularly when it cools off. While this spot can easily

feel overcrowded even with as few as a dozen people, it is just as peaceful when there is no one around and the only sounds are those of the water sliding down the rocks into the shallow catch pool.

In any scenario, it’s clear the Jemez — with or without the crowds, or even the occasional prescribed burn like we’ve had this week — is a sight for sore, urban eyes.

The 34th Trans-Mississippi Golf Association Four-Ball Championship will be held from this Sunday through next Wednesday at The Club at Las Campanas in Santa Fe. The Sunrise course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature design, will play host to 130 of the best amateurs in the country.

The Club at Las Campanas includes two Nicklaus courses, the Hacienda Clubhouse, a fitness and tennis center and an equestrian park.

The Trans-Miss Four-Ball Championship is one of the premier four-ball stroke play events in the country. The format is 54 holes of team stroke play with a 36-hole cut.

The 65-team field is divided into three divisions: Championship (25 years of age and older), Senior (55 and older) and Super Senior (65 and older).

Each division plays from a separate set of tees, and three division champions are crowned at the conclusion of the third round.

To be eligible, applicants must meet the following requirements: Be a male amateur golfer, belong to a club that is a member of the TransMiss Golf Association, have a combined handicap index of 10.0 or less for the Championship division and 12.0 or less for the Senior and Super Senior divisions and have attained the age of 25 (55 for Seniors and 65 for Super Seniors) by the first round of the championship.

FOR THE BIRDS

Remembering Martha, the world’s last passenger pigeon

By Anne Schmauss For The New Mexican

O

ne hundred years ago this week, the last passenger pigeon, named Martha, died in her cage at the Cincinnati Zoo. Last Sunday, the front page of The New York Times’ Sunday Review section featured an article by John W. Fitzpatrick, the executive director of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, detailing the stunning story of the passenger pigeon. You may know that the passenger pigeon was likely the most abundant bird ever to have existed, sometimes migrating in flocks exceeding 3 billion birds.

Passenger pigeons accounted for one-fourth of all the birds in North America. According to Fitzpatrick and many reports from the mid-1800s, the skies of the Eastern United States would be darkened for days at a time by migrating flocks of passenger pigeons. One report detailed a flock of billions measuring one mile wide by 300 miles long. It took several days for

Martha, the last passenger pigeon, died Sept. 1, 1914, in a Cincinnati zoo.

this giant flock to pass over southern Ontario.

A hundred-fifty years ago, few thought that the passenger pigeon was in any danger. When an effort to curb widespread hunting of the birds in Ohio arose in 1857, that state’s legislature dismissed the petition by saying, “The passenger pigeon needs no protection. Wonderfully prolific, having the vast forests of the North as its breeding grounds, traveling hundreds of miles in search of food, it is here

today and elsewhere tomorrow, and no ordinary destruction can lessen them.”

But massive deforestation and hunting of the passenger pigeon did, in fact, result in one of the most sudden human-caused extinctions in history.

It is a stark reminder of how important state and federal legislation, or lack of legislation, can be in protecting wildlife and habitat.

Passenger pigeon females laid only one egg at a time in closely packed nests atop trees in the dense forests of the U.S. and Canada. As humans moved east across the continent, they cleared large areas of forests for farming, destroying the large nesting habitat the passenger pigeon needed.

These abundant birds proved a cheap source of meat for many, including slaves in the South, and growing populations in eastern cities. They were hunted by the tens of millions and were shipped east, filling railroad cars.

Once the massive population of passenger pigeons began to decline, conservation efforts proved to be

too little, too late to save the species.

Within a few decades, the passenger pigeon was gone.

Fitzpatrick, in his New York Times article, notes that, “it seems that whenever humans discover bounty, it is doomed to become a fleeting resource,” pointing to dwindling ocean populations of the once abundant Bluefin tuna and cod. I’m reminded of the once-ubiquitous bison.

Conservation efforts couldn’t save the passenger pigeon, but unlike the 1800s, when few such tools existed, today we have many more measures (like the Audubon Christmas Bird Count) to gauge the health of our bird populations. As primarily a backyard birder, I can sometimes be insulated from shrinking bird populations unless they are species that visit my feeder. But the health of all bird populations is, of course, important, whether I see them visiting my backyard or not. Birds are often a leading indicator of how an entire ecosystem is faring.

Intense conservation efforts helped

to ban DDT and bring back the bald eagle and the California condor. Fitzpatrick’s article reminded me that Theodore Roosevelt saved pelicans and egrets from plume hunters by establishing Pelican Island in Florida as our first national wildlife refuge.

Many conservation efforts across the country have preserved habitats and saved wildlife. This work is not over and must be sustained.

We must ask ourselves, in a state like New Mexico, where so much revenue is generated by the gas and oil industry, whether some of the environmental trade-offs we make are worth it. As birders, these are important questions to ask.

Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe and loves to hear your bird stories. She is the author, with her sisters, of For the Birds: A Month by Month Guide to Attracting Birds to Your Backyard. Anne’s new book, Birdhouses of the World, came out in April.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring with 39,000 miles on it. The car apparently uses oil without smoking or leaking.

What could it be? -- Loretta RAY: It could be smoking or leaking, Loretta.

TOM: There are no other choices, except larceny.

RAY: According to the principles of industrial stoichiometry, whatever goes in has to either stay in or come out. And that’s true for the oil in your crankcase.

TOM: It’s possible for either situation to be di∞cult to detect. If it’s leaking very slowly, you might be leaking a few drops per mile every day between your house and the bingo parlor.

RAY: Or it could be leaking onto your hot exhaust manifold and burning up, rather than dripping onto your driveway.

TOM: Just as likely, it’s sneaking past the piston rings when the engine is running, and is getting burned up and sent out the tailpipe. But in that case, it’s a small-enough amount that you don’t smell it, or see the telltale bluish-gray smoke.

RAY: Yet. TOM: Right. Yet. So the first question is: How much oil are you actually losing?

RAY: If you’re replacing less than a quart every 500 miles,

my advice would be to forget about it.

TOM: The expense of rebuilding your engine dwarfs the cost of a quart of oil once a month. You can do the math.

An engine rebuild might cost you $4,000; a quart of oil is $2.

RAY: But don’t forget about it entirely. Keep a close eye on the oil level in case your rate of consumption increases -- which probably will happen eventually. You don’t want to run low on the stu≠.

TOM: And continue to get your oil changed at the prescribed intervals -- that will protect the engine parts that still work. Just dumping in new quarts to replace those that have leaked out or burned up does not constitute an oil change, because a lot of the sludgy oil stays in there.

RAY: I’d start keeping a log of how often you add a quart.

Write down the date and mileage reading -- that’s useful information. When you take your car for service, give those details to your mechanic, and ask him to take a look. If it turns out it’s a leak, and it’s

caused by something simple like a valve cover gasket, you might as well fix it. That’d be a couple of hundred bucks, and the problem would be solved.

TOM: But if your mechanic confirms that you’re burning the oil, then our advice stands: Keep an eye on the oil level and keep driving.

RAY: If you discover that you’re burning more than a quart every 500 miles, then that’s still our advice, but for di≠erent reasons.

TOM: It’s hard to recommend putting thousands of dollars into a 10-year-old car. You could do it, but what if the transmission fails a week later?

RAY: And with the amount of driving you do -- less than 5,000 miles a year -- you could keep this car going for several years without fixing it -- as long as you keep the crankcase full and can pass your state’s emissions test.

TOM: And during that time, you can be saving up for upgrade. What would you think about a nice ‘06 Pacifica?

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Daughter leaves husband and kids Dear Annie: My daughter has been married for 14 years to a wonderful, successful, caring husband, and they have four beautiful children. But she recently moved out of their home. I can’t believe it.

Everyone could tell the marriage wasn’t going that well in the past year, but we thought it was the usual ups and downs. Then my daughter started spending a lot of evenings with her girlfriends and staying out until the wee hours. She also became secretive and not the loving, open daughter she had been.

I asked her to see a doctor, thinking maybe she was depressed, but also to check her thyroid because I have hypothyroidism and so did her grandmother. But she told me to stay out of it, that it’s between her and her husband. She says there’s no abuse, drugs or alcohol, and I believe her. But I think she is seeing someone on the side. She says she just doesn’t love her husband anymore.

I asked her to please go to counseling or speak to their pastor, and she said no. She told me to leave them alone and let them work it out. Now she says the split is permanent. I am devastated and angry with my daughter. She left the kids with her husband, and she’s moved in with her sister.

I cannot believe she would do this.

I see the kids two or three times a week when I babysit. My daughter has asked me to support her in this decision, but I just can’t. What do I do? — Beyond Sad Dear Beyond: We know this is breaking your heart, but you must try your best to stay out of it. Whatever problems are going on in your daughter’s marriage are hers to deal with, good or bad. Try to spend time with the children, especially if you can bring them to your house, giving them a stable, calm place to visit. But don’t take sides. The best you can do is talk to your other daughter and ask that she encourage her sister not to rush into anything she’ll regret.

Dear Annie: We went to a family wedding last month. The ceremony was scheduled for

2 p.m., but the wedding party didn’t show up until an hour later.

The reception was at another location, and dinner was supposed to start at 5:30, but the wedding party showed up at 7. No one ate until 8.

We thought this was inconsiderate and rude. There was no good reason why the wedding party was late for the ceremony and supper. Her 90-year-old grandfather and his 86-year-old grandmother and numerous seniors as well as young children all had to wait for the wedding party to show up. What do you think about this? — Saskatchewan, Canada Dear Canada: We, too, think this is rude and inconsiderate.

There’s an amazingly selfish trend these days where some brides, grooms and attendants erroneously believe they are entitled to have a “before party” (although generally not before the ceremony, as well) because it’s “their” night. They delay arriving at their own reception, often by hours. In that case, they should not invite guests to share in the celebration, because obviously, the guests are not included in it. Unless the bridal party had a good reason for the delay, we’d have gone home.

Dear Annie: You had a letter from “Any Light at the End of My Tunnel?” whose husband is controlling. I was in the same situation, and all I can say is: If you love your children, leave now! You will find help.

I finally left after he threw a plate in my face, but unfortunately, it was too late for my kids, as I watched two out of the three enter into exactly the same kind of abusive relationship they saw growing up. You have a chance for your children to learn a better way of life. — Been There, Done That Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
