State details governor’s travel costs $27K spent between March 16 and June 5 By Steve Terrell

The New Mexican

Gov. Susana Martinez

Taxpayers spent more than $27,000 this year to send Gov. Susana Martinez, her staff and state police security detail on 11 out-of-state trips

between the end of the legislative session in mid-March and early June. This is according to information The New Mexican received late last week from the Governor’s Office and the Department of Finance and Administration

in response to a public records request. The lion’s share of the expense — $24,021 of the $27,169 — was for transportation, lodging and food for the governor’s state police security team. Another $2,479 paid for the travel expenses of the governor’s staff who accompanied

her to the various out-of-state events. Only $668 was spent on Martinez herself for these 11 trips. Most of her expenses were paid for by her re-election campaign or by organizations who invited her to the various events.

New report finds illegal entry into U.S. on rise By Hope Yen

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The number of immigrants crossing the border illegally into the U.S. appears to be on the rise again after dropping during the recession. The total number of immigrants living in this country unlawfully edged up from 11.3 million in 2009 to 11.7 million last year, with those from countries other than Mexico at an apparent all-time high, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends Project. The change is within the margin of error, and there will be a more precise census measure released later this year. Still, based in part on other factors such as increased U.S. border apprehensions, the sharp decline in illegal immigration from 2007 to 2009 has clearly bottomed out, with signs the numbers are now rising, Pew said. Pew said that among the six states with the largest numbers of immigrants here illegally, only Texas had

After years of training, Sampson knows that Ubigau will toss the ball if he has found a good scent. Usually, two field researchers follow

NATION&WORLD Apple boasts of big sales; Blackberry agrees to sell New Mexican wire services

SAN FRANCISCO — In a Monday announcement, Apple Inc. said it sold 9 million units of its top-of-theline iPhone 5S and less-expensive iPhone 5C during their first three days on sale. That trounced the performance of last year’s model, the iPhone 5, which sold 5 million units in its opening weekend. “The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook. Monday’s positive news helped generate more interest in Apple’s stock. The shares gained $23.23, or 5 percent, to close at $490.64. In other news, BlackBerry announced Monday that it has agreed to be acquired by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, a Toronto-based financial holding company, for $4.7 billion. The company said that it has signed a letter of intent agreement with Fairfax. The deal was recommended by a special committee BlackBerry formed last month after disappointing sales of its newest handsets. Last week, the company announced it will lay off 4,500 employees, about 40 percent of its workforce, and will posted nearly $1 billion in losses in its second quarter.

ight months after Vicco, a tiny Appalachian town in Kentucky, took a stand against gay-based discrimination, it’s basking in a flurry of attention and even an infusion of muchneeded cash. All that hoopla has its openly gay mayor dreaming of reviving a place that had long seemed past its prime. Out-of-towners occasionally venture well off the interstate to make the trek to Vicco, a fading coal town of about 330 residents where an aging row of buildings lines one side of the block-long downtown. Railroad tracks run along the other side, though trains rarely pass by anymore. Visitors pose for pictures in front of the Mayberry-like city hall or shake hands with Mayor Johnny Cummings, 51, a chain-smoking hair salon operator who grew up in the town, spent some time living on both coasts, and then returned home. “I thought the 15 minutes of fame would have been over a long time ago,” Cummings said. Not even close. The town may even become the setting for a reality-based television show. Cummings said he expects to review a contract proposal soon from a production company, but doesn’t know which network might be interested. He said he wants the

show to focus on revitalizing the town. “I don’t see us being that entertaining, but somebody else seems to think we’re a little unusual,” he said. Vicco was singled out, and drew applause, last week when University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto described Kentucky as a place “deep in values that show up in unexpected ways and in unexpected places.” The event featured Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on UK’s campus. Perhaps even more welcome since passing the ordinance: a potential financial windfall for the cash-strapped town that has seen its population

Assad says Syria will cooperate BEIRUT— Syrian President Bashar Assad promised Monday to comply with international efforts to remove his chemical weapons, but sharply criticized the United States and other Western powers for proposing a United Nations resolution that would add teeth to the deal. In an interview in Damascus with Chinese state television, Assad said the U.S., France and Britain wanted “to appear victorious in their battles against an imaginary enemy, which they assume is Syria.” He also warned that rebels seeking to overthrow his government would attempt to disrupt the work of international inspectors trying to catalog and impound Syria’s

Official at center IRS scandal retiring WASHINGTON — Facing a possible firing, the Internal Revenue Service official at the center of the agency’s tea party scandal retired Monday, ending one chapter in a ruckus that has engulfed the taxcollection agency since spring. Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status when she was placed on paid leave in May. While she was in charge, the agency acknowledged that agents improperly targeted tea party groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 elections.

steadily decline. The town, about 130 miles southeast of Lexington, made national headlines when three of four commissioners voted in January to pass the ordinance, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing and public accommodations. City leaders said at the time they simply thought it was the right thing to do, and today marvel at the attention that has followed. “All this hoopla, we’re enjoying it,” said Tony Vaughn, the town’s police chief and friend of the mayor. “But our main focus is still getting a

small town back to having jobs and revitalizing the area.” After passage, letters of support poured in from across the country, along with a handful of letters condemning the ordinance, the mayor said. Money was tucked into some of the supportive letters. The town is applying for an $80,000 grant from a private, out-of-state company that encouraged the application, he said. A company representative reached out to town leaders after hearing about the ordinance, Cummings said. The money would be used to rehab buildings and the sidewalks in the downtown area.

U.S. moving closer to talks with Iran NEW YORK — The Obama administration edged close to direct, high-level talks with Iran’s new government on Monday, with Secretary of State John Kerry slated to meet his Iranian counterpart this week and the White House weighing the risks and rewards of an encounter between President Barack Obama and Iran’s president, Hasan Rouhani. The election of Rouhani, a moderate cleric, has led to speculation about possible progress on Iran’s nuclear impasse with the U.S. Particularly intriguing to American officials are Rouhani’s assertions that his government has “complete authority” in nuclear negotiations. That would be a marked change from previous governments and Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Staff and wire reports

WASHINGTON — From mercury to pesticides, Americans are exposed daily to environmental chemicals that could harm reproductive health, the nation’s largest groups of obstetricians and fertility specialists said Monday. The report urges doctors to push for stricter environmental policies to better identify and reduce exposure to chemicals that prove truly risky. But it’s likely to scare pregnant women in the meantime. “What we’re trying to get is the balance between awareness and alarmist,” said Dr. Jeanne Conry, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Specialists with ACOG and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine examined research about industrial chemicals and pollutants that people can absorb from the air, water, food and everyday products. Few chemicals hit the market with good information about safe levels — something the groups hope to change. But certain chemicals are linked to infertility, miscarriages, birth defects and other problems, the committee said. Risks are greatest for women with high on-the-job exposure. But the report also cited research suggesting virtually every pregnant woman is exposed to at least 43 different chemicals. It’s unclear how many matter, but some can reach the fetus. For example, mercury pollution builds up in certain fish, and when eaten by a mother-to-be, can damage her unborn baby’s developing brain. Prenatal exposure to certain pesticides can increase the risk of childhood cancer, the report found. Poor and minority populations are disproportionately exposed to various pollutants, urging doctors to be aware of concerns unique to where they live, the committee said. It’s not just about pregnancy. High enough pesticide exposure in adult men has been linked to sterility and prostate cancer, the report noted. But the report also raises some controversial examples. For example, most Americans have traces of BPA, or bisphenol-A, in their urine because it’s so widely used in plastics, consumer goods and to line metal food cans to prevent contamination and spoiling. For now, Conry said the consumer advice is common-sense: Choose fresh fruits and vegetables over processed foods when possible and thoroughly wash produce. Pregnant women and young children should eat certain seafood to get the nutritional benefits without the mercury risk. The industry’s American Chemistry Council said current environmental regulations offer enough consumer protection, and that the new report will create “confusion and alarm among expectant mothers.”

EGYPT

Brotherhood ban opens way to wider crackdown By Maggie Michael

The Associated Press

CAIRO — An Egyptian court on Monday ordered the banning of the Muslim Brotherhood and the confiscation of its assets, opening the door for authorities to dramatically accelerate a crackdown on the extensive network of schools, hospitals, charities and other social institutions that was the foundation of the group’s political power. Security forces have already been moving against the Brotherhood’s social networks, raiding schools and hospitals run by the group since the military’s July 3 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. The sweep points to the ambitions of Egypt’s new leaders to go beyond the arrests of top Brotherhood figures to strike a longterm, even mortal, blow to the group by hitting the pillars of its grassroots organization. Doing so could cripple the group’s political prospects far into the future. “The plan is to drain the sources of funding, break the joints of the group and then dismantle podiums from which they deliver their message,” said one senior security official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss security agencies’ intentions. Blurring its political and religious nature, the Brotherhood vaulted to election dominance in large part because of its multiple business interests that provide funding, as well as schools, mosques and powerful social institutions providing cheap medical care and services to millions of impoverished Egyptians. As a result, after the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, the Brotherhood swept parliament elections and lifted Morsi into office as the country’s first freely elected leader. “The hospitals and schools are among the most powerful tools to garner support, which would be translated into votes,” said Ahmed Ban, a researcher and former Brotherhood member.

Schools give the group “a large pool to recruit new cadres at a very stage of their lives,” he said. Hospitals send the message that “we are offering good and cheap services, and we are the good Muslims.” In election seasons, Brotherhood hospitals, joined by candidates, would send medical convoys offering free care to villages where state services are absent. The past two years, the Brotherhood’s political party, the Freedom and Justice Party, held markets selling reduced-price food and clothes. Outlawed for most of 85-year existence — with successive regimes alternating between repression and tolerance — the Brotherhood built its networks largely underground. That made it difficult for authorities to track, since many institutions were registered under individuals’ names. After Mubarak’s ouster, the group emerged to work openly, opening a formal headquarters and forming a political party. Ironically, that made parts of its structure more visible. The senior security official said intelligence and the National Security agency have been working through banks, oversight agencies and state records to compile a database of Brotherhood members and assets. An earlier court ruling froze the assets of 24 senior figures, including deputy head Khairat el-Shater, a businessman seen as the group’s top financier and strongman. Monday’s court ruling, if upheld over any appeals, gives authorities a legal basis to move against those assets. The sweeping verdict banned the group as well as “any institution branching out of it or … receiving financial support from it,” which legal experts said could also force the disbanding of the Freedom and Justice Party. It also ordered the group’s assets and property confiscated.

NAIROBI, Kenya — One of the Islamist militants wore a white turban, others black head scarves, witnesses said. Most were dressed in civilian clothes, but a few had donned camouflage fatigues. Some carried sophisticated machine guns, others wielded the AK-47 rifles widely used by African insurgents. Most of the extremists who seized the mall in Nairobi were young and barked orders in English. By Monday evening, Kenyan security forces said they controlled much of the Westgate Premier Shopping Mall, although several militants from al-Shabab, a group allied with al-Qaida, appeared dug in, set to fight to the death. With the standoff apparently drawing to a close, there was a growing focus on the identity of the militants and how they could pull off a sophisticated assault that killed at least 62 people and keep security forces at bay for three days. Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said “two or three Americans” and “one Brit” were among the militants

in the attack. She said in an interview Monday with PBS Newshour that the Americans were 18 to 19 years old, of Somali or Arab origin and lived “in Minnesota and one other place” in the United States. The British jihadist was a woman who has “done this many times before,” Mohamed said. U.S. officials said Monday that they were pressing to determine whether any of the assailants were American. “But at this point we have no definitive evidence of the nationalities or identities of the perpe-

trators,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. Al-Shabab is a Somali militia. But Gen. Julius Karangi, chief of the Kenya Defense Forces, told reporters that the jihadists inside the mall were “clearly a multinational collection from all over the world” — though he did not offer details. “We are fighting global terrorism here,” Karangi said. On Monday, Kenyan security forces intensified operations to end the crisis. Police helicopters hovered over the mall. At midday, loud explosions and sporadic bursts

of gunfire could be heard emanating from the mall. By late afternoon, large plumes of smoke were rising from the area. A senior Interior Ministry official, Joseph Ole Lenku, said the militants had set fire to one of the shops in the mall as a tactical diversion. Many Kenyans have questioned why it has taken so long to end the siege. Senior Kenyan government officials have said that security forces were being cautious to avoid the deaths of innocent civilians. On Monday morning, a spokesman for alShabab reportedly threatened to execute hostages if security forces stormed the mall. “The mujahideen will kill the hostages if the enemies use force,” Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage said in an audio statement posted online. The death toll released by the government stood at 62 civilians, with more than 175 injured. It was the deadliest attack in Kenya since the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. An earlier figure of 69 deaths, provided by the Kenyan Red Cross, was later revised downward. Sixty-three people were missing, according to the Red Cross, suggesting that the militants still held hostages inside.

Former FBI agent to plead guilty in leak case By Mark Sherman The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A former FBI explosives expert said Monday he will plead guilty to revealing secret information for an Associated Press story about a U.S. intelligence operation in Yemen in 2012. The story led to a leaks investigation and the seizure of AP phone records in the government’s search for the information’s source. Donald Sachtleben of Carmel, Ind., said in court papers that he provided details of the operation to a reporter. Four months ago, Sachtleben also acknowledged he distributed

and possessed pornographic images of underage girls. A plea agreement filed in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis calls for 11 years and eight months in prison for both crimes. The Justice Department said in a statement that its pursuit of Sachtleben was made easier by the child pornography investigation, but that Sachtleben was not identified as a suspect in the leaks case until investigators had analyzed the AP phone records and compared them to other evidence in their possession. AP spokesman Paul Colford said, “We never comment on sources.” The deal is the latest legal action in the Obama adminis-

tration’s aggressive pursuit of people it believes have revealed government secrets, including seeking records and even testimony of journalists who prosecutors believe were given classified information and then published stories about it. Monday’s court filing stems from an investigation launched by the Justice Department shortly after AP reported that U.S. intelligence had learned that al-Qaida’s Yemen branch hoped to launch a spectacular attack using a new, nearly undetect-

able bomb aboard a U.S.-bound airliner around the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death. The AP’s May 7, 2012, story attributed details of the operation, including that the FBI had the bomb in its possession, to unnamed government officials. In court papers, Sachtleben said he visited the FBI lab on the morning of May 2, 2012, at the very time that FBI experts were examining the bomb. Sachtleben shared that information with a reporter the same morning, the government said.

Travel: Trips reflect rising status in GOP Continued from Page A-1

U.S. Border Patrol agent Jerry Conlin looks out over Tijuana, Mexico, from a hill in San Diego in June. After dropping during the recession, the number of immigrants crossing the border illegally into the U.S. appears to be on the rise again, according to a new Pew report. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

Report: Rate usually tied to U.S. economy Continued from Page A-1 a consistent increase in illegal immigration from 2007 to 2011, due in part to its stronger economy. Its number was unchanged from 2011 to 2012. Two states — Florida and New Jersey — had an initial drop but then increases during the same 2007-11 period. Three states — California, Illinois and New York — showed only declines. “As a whole, with the recession ending, the decrease in illegal immigration has stopped,” said Jeffrey Passel, a senior demographer at Pew. Passel noted that the level of illegal immigration historically has been closely tied to the strength of the U.S. economy and availability of jobs. Since 2009, the average U.S. unemployment rate has dropped from 9.3 percent to 8.1 percent last year, with signs of strength in the construction industry, which yields jobs that attract many Latino immigrants. The Pew analysis is based on census data through March 2012. Because the Census Bureau does not ask people about their immigration status, the estimate on immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally is derived largely by subtracting the estimated population of immigrants who entered legally from the total foreign-born population. It is a method that has been used by the government and Pew for many years and is generally accepted. Analysts said it was hard to predict whether immigrants in the country illegally could eventually exceed the record total of 12.2 million in 2007. Continued modest increases are possible, but another big surge like the one seen in the late 1990s and early 2000s isn’t likely, due in part to demographic factors such as Mexico’s aging workforce. “Labor demand in the U.S. is still slack and wages are eroding, whereas there are jobs in Mexico and wages are slowly rising as labor force growth there decelerates,” said Douglas Massey, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University who is co-director of the Mexican Migration Project. “The pressures for mass migration are diminishing for now, but who knows what kind of disasters lie ahead?” Analyses of census data from the U.S. and Mexican governments show that the number of immigrants here illegally peaked at 12.2 million in 2007, during the U.S. housing boom, and before the recession hit. It then dropped roughly 7 percent to 11.3 million in 2009, the first two-year decline in two decades, due to the weak U.S. economy which shrank construction and servicesector jobs. Much of the decline came as many Mexican workers who already were here saw diminishing job opportunities and returned home.

Since then, the U.S. economy has shown some improvement, while public opinion regarding immigrants has shifted in some cases in favor of granting legal rights. For instance, some state legislatures this year have passed immigrant-friendly measures such as college tuition breaks and rights to driver’s licenses, even as others enacted laws aimed at tightening the system. A look at some immigration details, by the numbers: u In all, the number of Mexicans here illegally stood at roughly 6 million last year, down from the 2007 peak of 6.9 million and largely unchanged since 2010. Mexicans now make up 52 percent of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, down from 57 percent in 2007. u The level of illegal immigration from countries other than Mexico rose to a record 5.65 million, higher than the 5 million in 2009 and apparently surpassing the 2007 peak of 5.25 million. The record number in 2012 is a preliminary determination because of margins of error in the surveys. u In past surveys, non-Mexican immigrants here illegally have come primarily from Central America, at roughly 15 percent; followed by South America, the Caribbean and other parts of Latin America at 12 percent; and Asia, at roughly 10 percent. The administration has recently said that unrest and poverty in many Central American nations are a large factor behind illegal immigration into the U.S. u Separately, U.S. Border Patrol data show a modest increase in the number of apprehensions at the Mexican border from 2011 to 2012, increasing to 365,000. That was because of growing apprehensions of non-Mexicans, as opposed to Mexicans, which declined. Historically, increases in border apprehensions have tended to coincide with increases in illegal immigration. u In particular, analysts have said that immigrants are shifting their migration paths from Arizona to deep southern Texas, due in part to that state’s stronger economy, as well as increases in Central American immigrants who seek a more direct route to the U.S. Agents from the Border Patrol in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley have apprehended nearly 150,000 so far this fiscal year, a 58 percent increase over 2012. About 94,000 of those border crossers arrested have been from countries other than Mexico. The latest numbers on illegal immigration come as prospects for passage of a comprehensive U.S. immigration bill appear dim. A bill passed by the Democraticcontrolled Senate and backed by the White House includes billions for border security as well as a 13-year path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already here illegally.

The out-of-state travel during the time period of the records request reflects Martinez’s status as a rising national star in the Republican Party. Her travel this spring included a trip to Rome in March as part of the U.S. delegation to attend the installation of the new pope, as well as a trip to Washington, D.C., for the Cinco de Mayo celebration at the invitation of Vice President Joe Biden. There are also several out-of-state speeches and conferences included in the total. And in some cases, the state paid travel expenses for staff and security for campaign fundraising events for Martinez. For instance, at a Washington, D.C., gala in early June, Martinez raised $220,000 for her re-election campaign, according to The Hill, a Washington publication that covers Congress. While her campaign paid for Martinez’s travel expenses, taxpayers paid $6,460 for transportation, lodging and food for her state police security detail, plus $948 for transportation for the governor’s staff members. How much Martinez raised for her campaign at other events won’t be known until she files her next campaign finance report, due Oct. 15. She is seeking election to a second four-year term next year. Martinez isn’t the first governor to travel with staff and security to out-ofstate political events. Her predecessor, Bill Richardson, spent a huge part of 2007 in Iowa, New Hampshire and other states campaigning unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination. During that campaign, a Richardson spokesman told the Associated Press that New Mexico taxpayers covered the salaries of Richardson’s security team on campaign trips, but his political committee paid for other travel expenses of his police detail. Information released on Martinez’s trips in the spring included: u March 16-20: Martinez traveled to Rome as part of the official U.S. delegation to the installation of Pope Francis. u March 21-22: Martinez attended a meeting of the Republican Governors Association in Utah, plus Lobos and

Aggies basketball games at the NCAA Tournament in Salt Lake City. u April 11: The governor had a campaign fundraiser in Denver as well as a meeting with the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry. u April 18-21 : Martinez was the topbilled speaker at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Spring Leadership Meeting in Las Vegas, Nev., along with House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. The meeting was held at the Venetian, a hotel and casino owned by Sheldon Adelson, a major Republican benefactor. u April 21-23: The governor went to a fundraiser in Palm Springs, Calif. u April 30-May 1: Martinez spoke at a fundraiser in Bakersfield, Calif., for House Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy. u May 2-3: Martinez went to the Cinco de Mayo celebration at the White House. u May 6-7: The governor spoke about tax cuts at an event sponsored by the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Arizona. She also attended a separate political event u May 13-17: Martinez traveled with New Mexico Amigos, a nonpartisan group promoting the state, to Colorado Springs, Colo., and Salt Lake City. She then went to Texas for political fundraising events in Houston and Dallas. u May 29-30: Martinez attended a reception and dinner in Austin, Texas, for the Republican State Leadership Committee’s Future Majority Project. She cochairs the committee. u June 3-5: The governor went to Washington, D.C., for a Washington Post event on early literacy and a National Association of Manufacturers executive meeting. During this trip, she also held a major political fundraiser for her re-election. The guest list included GOP Congressional leaders as well as possible presidential contenders, including Rubio; Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.; and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. The New Mexican on June 7 requested out-of-state travel records for Martinez under the state’s Inspection of Public Records Act. In the subsequent months,

the administration informed the paper four times that it needed more time to fulfil the request. Some — though not all — of the requested information came on Friday. The administration declined to let The New Mexican inspect actual records of travel, such as receipts, citing security concerns. “Disclosure of procurement card statements create security risks to the governor and the governor’s family,” a spokesman for the Department of Finance and Administration said in a response to the request. “Procurement card statements for the Governor and the Governor’s security detail identify the officer assigned to protect the governor and/or her family on specific dates and include transactionlevel detail, including the transaction date, vendor name (e.g., hotel or restaurant), and city and state of the transaction.” This is the same reasoning the administration used for several months as it refused to release to news organizations, including The New Mexican, travel records for a 2011 alligator-hunting trip for Martinez’s husband, Chuck Franco, and two state police officers acting as his security. In July, a spokesman for Martinez told The Associated Press that some of the expenses were paid for by a relative of one of the officers. The lieutenant governor, under state law, is entitled to an extra $250 in pay each day when the governor is out of state. However, Lt. Gov. John Sanchez “has chosen not to accept it,” a spokesman said Monday. Sanchez’s predecessor, Diane Denish, made the same decision in 2007 when Richardson was running for president. Martinez has made other trips since The New Mexican’s records request in early June. For instance, she gave the keynote address at a June 29 dinner for the Ohio Republican Party in Columbus, Ohio, and went to Aspen, Colo., in late July for a meeting of the Republican Governors Association.

Dogs: 13 salamanders discovered this year Continued from Page A-1 behind the dog and handler, inspecting the creature’s potential finds. This time the scent is good, and Ubigau, who has worked with Conservation Canines as a handler since 2007, launches the red ball. Sampson leaps from his squatting position, bounds after the ball, scoops it up in his mouth and then drops the slobbery toy at Ubigau’s feet. Without wiping it off, she tosses the ball again and playtime continues until Ubigau redirects Sampson. Last week’s run was merely an exercise, and Sampson didn’t track down any new salamanders. The population of the Jemez Mountain Salamander has declined rapidly in recent years thanks to a combination of wildfires and drought. The amphibians are tiny — between 2 and 4 ½ inches in length and less than an inch wide. The creature’s large eyes make up a quarter of its head. Brown skin helps the salamanders blend into their wooded surroundings, and, accordingly, makes them hard to find. That’s part of the reason Conservation Canines was brought in, said Anne Bradley with The Nature Conservancy, one of the groups looking for the Jemez Mountain salamander. Bradley said the amphibian’s habitat is rapidly shrinking because of recent wildfires. The goal, she said, is to find where they live to learn more about the secretive creatures. Last year, crews found only one salamander. This year, they have managed to track down 13 of the critters since July. That increase is partially due to increased rains and accompanying humidity — ideal conditions for the salamanders to emerge from rotten logs or cavernous rocks. Sampson has certainly helped this year’s expedition, too, but it should be noted Conservation Canines sent Sampson and another dog in 2012 as well. Before he was searching for salaman-

ders, Sampson was trained to find excrement from wolverines, lynx, moose and gray wolves, to name a few. The black Labrador mix also can find live animals, as he did when he tracked sea turtles’ nests off the coast of Alabama. The working dog first joined Conservation Canines in 2008. When Sampson was only 4 years old, he was discovered at The Humane Society for Seattle/King County, where he had been passed over because his nearly indefatigable energy turned off many potential families. But that boundless desire to play was useful for Conservation Canines’ purposes, Ubigau said. Ubigau said most dogs used by the program are Labrador mixes or cattle dogs — canines that could work for eight hours straight, if necessary. But the main criteria, she said, include high energy levels and singular focus on playing. Those traits translate to a dog willing to do what’s asked of it. The training process, Ubigau said, is fairly simple. The dogs enter a field where

there is wolverine excrement, and when the canine finds and sniffs the waste, a trainer immediately presents the dog with a ball to fetch. That process is repeated until the four-legged creature understands that finding the right scat equals playtime. Now 9 years old, Sampson can’t work like he used to and is nearing retirement, Ubigau said. When he retires from field work, he’ll likely have a home with Ubigau. The handler explained that most, if not all, of the dogs that go through the Conservation Canines program are adopted by one of the many handlers, who have experience with high-energy dogs. Each handler usually has a favorite, and Ubigau’s is Sampson. Ubigau has already adopted another dog that retired from the program, a Jack Russell terrier named Casey. “With a job, most of these dogs end up doing great in the end,” Ubigau said.

Funds: Cuts mean states could see $1 trillion less in next 8 years Continued from Page A-1 billions of dollars into state budgets to help them keep teachers and other employees on the payroll and to pay for infrastructure investments at the height of the recession. At the same time, the recession severely undercut state tax bases, reducing home-grown revenue and inflating the portion of state budgets that came from federal coffers. In 2011, taxes accounted for 46 percent of total state revenue. Federal grants made up 34.7 percent of total revenue. Service charges accounted for about 11 percent, while revenue

from local governments, fines and other sources contributed 8.4 percent to state budget coffers. The stimulus money is already tapering off, Stauffer said, and the slow recovery is finally beginning to show up in the form of increased tax revenue. But looming cuts under the Budget Control Act mean states are likely to lose out on $1 trillion in federal money between 2013 and 2021. Sequester cuts will slash $441 billion in defense discretionary spending over that period, and another $285 billion from non-defense discretionary budgets. Much of that money goes to state education, transportation and health

care budgets. Medicare payments will be cut by nearly $83 billion over the next eight fiscal years. For some states that rely heavily on the federal government, the cuts present serious challenges. Federal spending accounts for more than 35 percent of the revenue New Mexico and Kentucky take in, according to Pew and Census Bureau figures. Six other states — West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Maryland, Virginia and Hawaii — rely on the federal government for at least 30 percent of their revenue. Areas where federal government employees live and work will be especially hard-hit. In the Washington

area, federal spending accounts for about 20 percent of the region’s gross domestic product. More than 15 percent of Hawaii’s gross domestic product comes from federal contracts and salaries. In Alaska, 8 percent of state revenues come from federal salaries and wages. “There’s a lot of focus on budget cuts and direct impact to states, but what we hear from a lot of states, and when we look at it, the economic impact [of federal employee salaries] for states can be large too,” Stauffer said. Rules requiring balanced budgets mean states feel serious, and sud-

den, impacts when a recession cuts tax revenues. And historically, the federal government has stepped in: Federal spending as a percentage of state revenues spiked after recessions in the early 1970s and the early 1990s. In 2001, federal spending made up 27.5 percent of state budgets; after the recession that followed, that number jumped north of 30 percent. But the depth and breadth of the recent recession has broken all records. Before the beginning of the recession, federal spending had dropped below 30 percent of state budgets. It leaped five points in the intervening few years.

Storm damages city Heavy winds, persistent rain uproot tree, knock out radio station signal By Chris Quintana and Tom Sharpe The New Mexican

tility and road crews spent Monday cleaning up after a Sunday night thunderstorm that tore through Santa Fe and Rio Arriba counties with strong winds that knocked out power lines, toppled traffic signs and trees, closed a few roads and left the first season’s first snow on mountaintops. The storm, which produced heavy winds and hail in addition to lightning strikes and persistent rain, came after a series of heavy rainstorms that flooded cities and counties around the state. The storm knocked out community radio station KSFR-FM 101.1’s broadcast signal between late Sunday night and Monday afternoon. Operations Manager Sean Conlon said the Sunday night weather toppled a power line that supplies power to the station’s transmitter atop Pajarito Mountain at about 8:30 p.m. The station returned to the airwaves at about 4:15 p.m. Monday. The public could still access KSFR normal programing through its website at ksfr.org, though the At Noon podcast, a daily news program with national and local news, was cut short. KSFR doesn’t have a backup transmitter or power generator. The Public Service Company of New Mexico reported 429 outages in Santa Fe, whereas the state saw about 3,000. Valerie Smith, a PNM spokesperson, said a combination of trees falling on power lines and lightning striking equipment “wreaked havoc across the state.” Crews restored power to the Santa Fe resi-

An advocacy group proposes a series of strategies to improve the lives of children in New Mexico after a report ranked the state last in the nation in child well-being. Albuquerque-based New Mexico Voices for Children, which launched its policy campaign Monday, didn’t identify funding sources or assign responsibility to a specific person or organization for each of the strategies. Rather, the group hopes it will be a collective effort and that elected officials, decision-makers and residents across the state embrace the proposed solutions. “We all have to own this issue,” said Veronica García, the group’s executive director and former superintendent of Santa Fe Public Schools. “We hope that by the urging of New Mexicans to make New Mexico children a priority that we can begin to turn this around,” she said. “That’s what it’s going to take, making children a priority.” The proposed policy solutions, which range from raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour to spending more on early childhood programs, are in response to a report that put New Mexico in last place in the economic well-being, education, health, and family and community support of children. The plan recommends solutions to improve each of the 16 indicators used to measure child well-being in the national Kids Count Data Book. “While the problem is complex, a comprehensive and focused set of strategies can give New Mexico’s children hope and the opportunity to fulfill their potential,” the plan states. “While this policy agenda does not address every aspect of child well-being, it can serve as a framework for a broader approach.” The plan is a starting point, said James Jimenez, director of policy, research and advocacy integration for New Mexico Voices for Children. “It really is intended to be a guidebook for parents, families, elected officials, state legislators, to take a look at in terms of how do we address these areas in which we don’t rank very well compared with other states,” he said. García said New Mexico’s ranking left some people overwhelmed. “What we heard is a lot of silence and dismay but not a lot of people talking about solutions,” García said. “This is a way to elevate the conversation to solutions instead of staying in the problem and recognizing that there are concrete things that we can all do by engaging the governor, by engaging the legislature, by engaging policy makers,” she said.

dents late Sunday night, Smith said. The storm also blew over a traffic sign near the St. Francis Drive and St. Michael’s Drive intersection, said Miguel Gabaldon, the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s district five engineer. He said he put in a work order to replace the sign and that repairs could cost between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on the severity of the damage. Gabaldon said the department on Monday also was dealing with silt on roadways. At the Academy at Larragoite, 1604 Agua Fría St., winds uprooted at least one 20-foot tree near Agua Fría Street. Two other trees outside the school’s fenced boundaries also lost branches to the gusts.

VA finds errors in veterans’ claims By Robert Nott The New Mexican

U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., wants the Department of Veterans Affairs to quickly deal with the findings of an audit that uncovered numerous errors in services at the Albuquerque Veterans Affairs Regional Office. Among other points, the report released last month by the VA’s Inspector General Office of Audits and Evaluations, said staff at the regional office didn’t correctly process 24 out of 58 — or 40 percent — of disability claims reviewed, leading to about 170 improper payments to seven veterans totaling $134,918. In addition, the Albuquerque office incorrectly processed 10 out of 28 traumatic brain-injury claims due to a misinterpretation of VA policy.

The Associated Press

Republican legislators are urging New Mexico’s highest court to declare that state law prohibits same-sex marriage. Nearly two dozen current and former GOP lawmakers made the legal pitch to the state Supreme Court in a “friend-ofthe-court” brief filed in advance of a hearing later this month in a case that could resolve whether gay marriage is legal in New Mexico. The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and other supporters of gay marriage also submitted written arguments Monday, providing a preview of the legal debate that will play out in front of the five-member court at its Oct. 23 hearing. At issue for the high court is an Albuquerque judge’s ruling last month that it’s unconstitutional to deny marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. “New Mexico’s guarantee of equal protection to its citizens demands that same-sex couples be permitted to enjoy the benefits of marriage in the same way and to the same extent as other New Mexico citizens,” Attorney General Gary King said in arguments submitted on behalf of the judge. New Mexico law doesn’t explicitly authorize or prohibit gay marriage. However, the GOP lawmakers said the law bans same-sex marriage because state statutes contain a marriage license application with sections for male and female applications and there are other provisions in law that refer to “husband” and “wife. The Republican lawmakers, represented by a conservative Christian law group called the Alliance Defending Freedom, said anti-discrimination and equal protection guarantees in the state constitution do not provide a legal right to marriage for same-sex couples. The lawmakers said that “the judiciary should exercise caution when asked to divine fundamental and important constitutional rights not expressly provided in the Constitution’s text.” The gay marriage issue has moved to the political front burner in New Mexico since August when Doña Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins decided independently to allow marriage licenses for same-sex couples. At least seven other county clerks have followed, some because of rulings in lawsuits brought by same-sex couples. The gay marriage issue made its way to the Supreme Court after the state’s 33 counties and county clerks statewide asked the five justices to clarify whether local officials are required to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples. County clerks historically have relied on the marriage license application in state law in denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

okyo Café offers a new sushi experience for Santa Feans. Located near the El Rey Inn and next door to Baskin Robbins, Tokyo Café is a relatively new option in the City Different’s vast array of restaurants. But a combination of great prices, central location, and unique and affordable offerings make the newest sushi spot in town worth a visit. Erin and Wei worked years as apprentices in the Texas establishments of Hayashi, a hibachi and sushi restaurant. Before working at Hayashi, Erin said that their initial training took place in Japanese restaurants in Anchorage, Alaska. In June of this year, the couple decided to strike out with their partner and took over the former site of Teriyaki Bowl on Cerrillos Road. “We renovated and remodeled the interior while keeping some of the features of the previous owners, like the drive through window,” said Erin. “With the

They also offer a smaller but no less appetizing drive through menu for sushi lovers on the go. Lunch specials were a priority as well, says Erin. “We came up with a convenient and tasty lunch menu that emphasizes affordable prices but doesn’t skimp on flavor,” said Erin. Prices for lunch entrees start at $6.99, are hibachi made and feature choice cuts of meat or vegetables ready to eat.

In brief Neighbors object to roof receptor Two Overlook couples and the subdivision’s utility cooperative are suing another couple, claiming the Internet receptor on the roof of their studio is an eyesore that is forbidden in deed covenants. Susan and John Bagwell, Rudolfo and Kristin Martinez, and the Agua Dulce Water Group say Bruce Velick and Denise Filchner’s rooftop receptor, including a dish and rabbitear antennae, directs flashes of light onto the plaintiffs’ homes. The receptor acts as a relay hub that directs Internet transmissions into at least 10 other homes in the luxury subdivision in the foothills southeast of Santa Fe, according to the complaint for injunctive relief filed last week in state District Court

by lawyer Karl Sommer. Velick and Filchner were not available for comment Monday. According to the complaint, Velick and Filchner did not seek approval for the receptor from the board of directors of the Overlook Homeowners’ Association, as required by deed covenants, and they have refused to remove, shield or relocate the device despite repeated requests. In addition, the complaint says, Velick and Filchner plan to install a solar array that will be visible from the plaintiffs’ properties and would be directly on top of the trench where Agua Dulce’s power, phone and water lines are located, interfering with its ability to maintain and repair these utilities.

Book blames cattle deaths on feds By Tom Sharpe The New Mexican

A new book says Northern New Mexico cattle mutilations were not caused by extraterrestrials or satanic rites, but by secret government experiments. Gabe Valdez was a state police officer stationed in Dulce in 1976 when he started investigating the deaths of cattle and other animals found with soft tissue removed. Before his death in 2011, Valdez discovered these occurrences actually were part of a test for environmental contamination caused by nuclear testing in the 1960s on the Jicarilla Apache Nation, according to a news release promoting the book. Dulce Base: The Truth and Evidence from the Case Files of Gabe Valdez is written by his son, Greg Valdez, and published by Levi-Cash Publishing Co. in Albuquerque. It is available as an e-book for $9.99 via Amazon. com or for $25 in hard copy via dulcebasebook.com. Greg Valdez, who worked for the state police and then for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, said he wrote the book after studying his father’s assembled evidence. “I did it for my dad. It’s not a money thing,” he said in a telephone interview Monday. “It’s to get the story straight.” Greg Valdez said the mutilations began shortly after Project Gasbuggy — an underground nuclear explosion to fracture underground strata and release more natural gas in western Rio Arriba County in 1967 — and ended around 1980 after retired FBI agent Ken Rommel issued a report blaming mutilations on natural predators. The story about aliens and satanic ceremonies were part of a disinformation campaign by clandestine intelligence agencies to obscure the truth about the mutilations, he said. Valdez said an Albuquerque doctor who became one of his father’s main sources on mutilations and mysterious aircraft was misled by the CIA into believing aliens were responsible “to discredit him and make people think he was crazy.” The website dulcebasebook. com includes a video of Gabe Valdez talking about how he learned that the government was trying to make people believe they had been abducted by aliens. The unidentified flying objects that some reported around Archuleta Mesa, between Dulce and Chama, actually were disc-shaped aircraft being tested by the government, Valdez said. He said some of the mutilations actually were tests of biological weapons that included bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease.

LOCAL BUSINESS By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

icente Trujillo recently took over City Shoe Repair, a shop his grandfather started nearly 40 years ago. To say Trujillo has big shoes to fill (or fix, as the case may be) would be an understatement. Trujillo’s grandfather, Mariano Ortega, 86, served in World War II, was married for 65 years “and 10 months,” raised eight children, and fixed shoes in Los Alamos for several decades before starting his own business, which has now been in operation in the same Cordova Road location since 1974. Ortega “retired” in 1988 when his eldest son took over the business, then one of his daughters ran it for a while before Trujillo purchased it from her in July. But he still comes in to the Cordova Road shop three days a week to teach his grandson the business and to help fix shoes. “This isn’t work. It’s a hobby now,” said Ortega as he trimmed the excess leather off the new zipper on a pair of boots he was repairing one day last week. “When I was feeding and clothing my kids, it was work 10 to 12 hours a day, that was work.” Trujillo himself had a 22-year career guarding nuclear materials for a federal contractor at Los Alamos National Laboratory before taking over the shop this summer. He said spending time with his grandfather, and learning his trade, is the biggest perk of his new work. “There is nothing better than learning from a master,” he said. “Not many people get a chance to learn something from someone who been doing it for 70 years. I get to be with my grandfather three days a week. I’m learning so much from him, and I’m enjoying it so much.” Trujillo said he has modernized the shop a little bit since taking over, installing a new exhaust fan and streamlining some processes to cut down turnover time on repair jobs. But, he said, he’s cautious when it comes to making changes to the shop, which smells of leather and is coated in a sooty looking layer of old shoe polish. “I had to update to make it a little more modern,” he said. “But I didn’t want to fix something that wasn’t broken. People come in here for the quality of the work.” The work is performed by Ortega and four or five employees, who repair shoes mostly by hand with the help of a just a few power tools, including a buffer and a nailer. “It’s kind of a dying trade because there aren’t a lot of people who work with their hands like that,” Trujillo said. “No other place has such great artistry, said Susan Callioni, an Atlanta woman who popped in to the shop one morning last week to have the strap on a 30-year-old leather bag from Morocco repaired. “In Atlanta, there are no artists with such high skill, quality and service.” Trujillo said the shop repairs about 1,000 items per month — which includes jackets, wallets, briefcases and other leather goods. Last week, a young lady dropped off a pair of Prada slides (which can retail for more than $300) to be fixed. On the same day, an older gentleman came in for a pair of shoe laces. The shop also stocks red chile powder and pinto beans. Trujillo said working with his grandfather allows him to really know the elder relative in way many people don’t get to know their grandparents. “He tells me stories every day,” he said. “So, I’m actually living a big dream.” Meanwhile, Ortega is looking forward to the next chapter in his life. After having lost his wife a few years ago, he said, he recently asked his daughters if they would mind if he “took a partner.” They gave their blessing. So does the 86-year-old have many prospects? “Lots of them,” he said. “There aren’t very many good men these days. They are all looking for someone who has a car and a job. She works, and he rides around in her car all day.”

Tourism sector makes gains as manufacturing jobs decline By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

here was a cynical retort at the end of the Clinton administration to counter his boasting that 22 million jobs were created during his presidency: “Yeah, I know someone who has three of them.” Let’s face it, any new job is a good job. To have work means dignity and a place in society, and in this hightech world, there is no such thing as a low-skilled job — cashiers, servers, taxi drivers, even hotel workers need to master high customer-service skills and new technology to stay employed. Still, the challenges that came from the rise of the service and retail sectors during the 1990s are true in New Mexico today. Just look at the August 2013 employment report from the state Department of Workforce Solutions. That month saw a huge jump in the leisure and hospitality workforce — 4,400 statewide with most of those coming in the Albuquerque metro area. At the same time, New Mexico continues to shed manufacturing jobs, and the government sector contracted again by another 3,100 jobs — with half of those in the federal government, which not only has better pay but also solid health insurance and a guaranteed pension. The prerecession jobs peak for the tourism and hospitality sector was 88,300 jobs statewide in September 2007, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That ceiling was reached in April, and preliminary numbers from August 2013 show the sector surged to 91,500 jobs — an increase of 6.3 percent from a year ago. The growth might very well be temporary as the cool from Breaking Bad fades in Albuquerque, and the cultural tourists move on to the next hot venue. Still, it is a good thing because the average annual wage for a bartender statewide is about $22,000, while a machinist is $48,000. So how many jobs in tourism, hospitality, leisure does it take to replace one in manufacturing? Even a journalist can do that calculation: two, and that is not even counting nonwage compensation as health insurance and retirement. uuu

Even though Alan Ball, a broker with Keller Williams Realty Santa Fe, has blogged that August 2013 residential home sales in Santa Fe were the best in 73 months, he is still proclaiming that the market has turned in favor of buyers. “Our real estate market is still our real estate market, and it is not the same as the national scene, or any of the nearby metropolitan areas such as Dallas, Denver and Phoenix. Lots of the talk and chatter on a national level is about a shortage of residential inventory — a lack of homes for sale. … That is not the case in Santa Fe. Sales are up here, but inventory is up even more. … The sobering truth is: we are in a buyer’s market and now is the right time and place to price homes aggressively,” Ball wrote. Still, for those who are in the business of buying and selling homes in Santa Fe, August was good. That month saw 177 residential sales, the most since June 2007, and so far, 2013 sales volume is 7 percent ahead of last year. uuu

The city of Santa Fe uses a slightly different cost-ofliving calculation when adjusting its minimum wage every year. But numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that over the past 12 months, the prices for all items tracked nationwide increased 1.5 percent. When the city makes its calculations in January, it will use a formula based on prices in the Intermountain West — so it might be a bit more or less. But the national number would mean an increase of 16 cents in the Santa Fe minimum wage, moving it to $10.67 from $10.51. Any adjustment made by the city would become effective March 1, 2014 — just a few days before the municipal election.

Entrepreneurs need perspective

Group seeks nominations for businesswoman of year

Business leaders are a hardy breed, loath to admit trouble, and express anything but optimism and confidence. This tough façade is handy when applying for loans, seeking investment capital and competing in the rough-andtumble marketplace. But it’s hard to maintain when customers are drifting away, employees are quitting, cash flow is falling short and a new product is taking too long to reach market. It’s hard to stay externally cool when internal fears wear down nerves and mental stability. As tempting as it might be to turn inward and work even harder at such times, experts suggest a healthier approach is for business owners to create some distance between their personal and professional lives. When a business is failing or struggling, owners shouldn’t isolate themselves or develop the tunnel vision of obsession; that just intensifies panic and despair. Entrepreneurs y also might discover opportunities amid the crisis, according to Harvard Business School professor and former CEO Bill George. George preaches the benefits of lessons learned the hard way in his foreword to a new book by Steven Snyder, Leadership and the Art of Struggle. George writes that failure teaches us about our blind spots and weaknesses. “Only in acknowledging our own flaws and vulner-

abilities,” he writes, “can we become authentic leaders who empower people to perform to the best of their abilities.” Every entrepreneur knows the value of perseverance, but perspective is just as important. Running a business is risky, and the “dropout” rate for start-ups is high. Only 37 percent to 58 percent of businesses remain open four years after they start, according to research published in July 2013 by Entrepreneur Weekly, the Small Business Development Center, Bradley University and the University of Tennessee. Given those statistics, someone courageous enough to invest time, money and passion to build a business needs to acknowledge that professional failure doesn’t equal personal failure. The recession and its aftermath have taxed business leaders, said entrepreneur and physician Dr. David Bull. While stress is an important defense mechanism, Bull said, it’s meant to be a temporary response to immediate danger. “It’s important to make sure,” he said, “that you take steps to combat stress, which include eating healthy, making time for exercise, ensuring you get enough sleep, having time out, taking part in hobbies or outside activities and ensuring that you schedule vacations.” Finance New Mexico is a public service initiative to assist individuals and businesses with obtaining skills and funding resources for their business or idea.

Man to get at least 28 years for murder The New Mexican

A Jemez Pueblo man will spend at least 28 years in prison for a grisly murder three years ago, says the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Lucas Michael Ray Toledo, now 25, is accused of killing another Jemez Pueblo member, 21-year-old Matthew Panama, at Toledo’s pueblo residence by stabbing him with a box cutter and kitchen knife, beating, kicking and hitting him with a shovel, and then disemboweling him after donning black and white face paint on Sept. 29, 2010. In an apparent response to the satanic aspects of the killing, the Jemez Pueblo Tribal Council banned trick-or-treating that Halloween on the pueblo. Joshua Madalena, then the pueblo governor, also banned sales on the pueblo of Jemez Springs’ bimonthly newspaper, Jemez Thunder, for the “tone, the

level of gruesome detail and the incredibly sensationalized manner” of reporting in the article. Toledo was indicted by a federal grand jury in October 2010, but the case was delayed for nearly three years due to competency proceedings, according to a news release from Acting U.S. Attorney Steven Yarbrough and FBI Special Agent Carol K.O. Lee. The news release says Toledo acknowledged killing Panama because Panama kept interrupting Toledo’s sleep by knocking on his bedroom window in the early hours of the morning. Toledo, who has remained in detention since his arrest, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder at a hearing in Albuquerque on Sept. 11. Although a sentencing hearing has yet to be scheduled, he faces between 28 and 32 years in prison followed by a term of supervised release to be determined by a judge.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Robberies spur store owner to carry gun, Sept. 17 Congratulations to Mr. [Fernando] Jacobo for exercising a freedom affirmed by the Second Amendment. He knows that police cannot be everywhere, all of the time, protecting every citizen, in every circumstance — a fact that Mr. Bad Guy knows all to well, and who is hoping to take advantage of that to perpetrate his crimes against innocent people. I hope he never has to use his handgun either — but if he does, I hope he prevails.” M.G.

“

Lock up the local loser punks when they are arrested for drugs and burglaries. There’s too damn many of them running loose. The ones that aren’t local, ship ’em back …” C.G.M.

Starbucks walks the line on guns, Sept. 19

“

So to make a long story short, Starbucks still allows customers to carry guns in their stores.” P.K.

“

Good for you, Starbucks. Y’see, all that is needed is people, not politicians or actors or organizations … just people taking a stand saying, ‘Enough is enough.’ Wal-Mart, the biggest seller of guns and ammunition in the world, even Wal-Mart is not immune to the voice, the will and the buying power of the people. Put enough economic pressure on them and watch those guns come off the shelves. … That’s right, a new wind is blowing across the country. The people are discovering that they have more power than the elected officials. Economic power. We can do this. We can win this battle and the war. Just have a little faith and a lot of hope.” M.M.

King: Governor wrong on taking gay marriage to voters, Sept. 20 By all means, let’s turn this election into social issues and budget issues be damned. Welcome back to ﬁscally irresponsible government, scandal and corruption brought to you by the Democrat-run state. If it’s not OK for the people of New Mexico to vote on gay marriage, then maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to vote for governor or any state legislators. Let’s just have some potentate like [Gary] King decide what’s best for the people. After all, don’t they always know what’s best for the state of New Mexico. Just like driver’s licenses, where 70 percent of the population is opposed to issuing them to illegal aliens, yet the elected Legislature won’t overturn [former Gov. Bill] Richardson’s law. That’s real government by the people, in the brave old world of New Mexico politics.”J.B.

“

As Attorney General Gary King noted, it is not appropriate for civil rights issues to be decided by voters. Had this been the case in connection with suffrage, women might still not have the vote. Had it been the case in connection with equal opportunity for people of color, blacks, Hispanics, etc. would still be second-class citizens. And had it been the case with interracial marriage, mixed-race relationships would still not be legal in many states. Why is it that, even now, people who take certain basic rights for granted, as far as they are concerned, feel entitled to deny others those same rights? History will judge them as harshly as we now judge those who stood in the way of progress in the past.” S.F.

“

For Pete’s sake, Susanna [Martinez], even the pope said to back off gay marriage. King is on the right side of history, and the fact we are even discussing this is evidence of how wrong Gov. Martinez and the Republican agenda are for the citizens of the great state of New Mexico.” R.F.

40 years of supporting safety A

s usual this year, legislative bills are being introduced in New Mexico and around the nation that place limitations on contraception and abortion services. As an obstetrician-gynecologist, it is my professional duty to point out that such restrictions can and do endanger women’s health and safety. This is also my personal conviction and belief, and it is from this personal perspective that I write. In 1972, a year before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, 100 U.S. obstetricians and gynecologists could see it coming. They published a Statement on Abortion in the respected American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, saying this “increasingly liberal course of events” presented “an imminent problem of rather staggering proportions.” They were prescient about the number of abortion requests they would get after legalization — a million a year — and they correctly predicted today’s abortion rate of 1 in 4 pregnancies. But they were wrong about the resulting problem. They thought it was going to be an issue of increasing hospital capacity while keeping patients safe. “Can we handle such a load?” they wrote at the time. “Yes, with careful planning, conscientious effort and modern techniques.” Existing hospital facilities would be able to cope, they said, because “the requisite space will soon be freed by the lessened number of septic abortions and puerperal [after-delivery] cases.”

In those days, 20 American women died for every 100,000 live births, many from unsafe abortions. Today’s maternal mortality rate is half what it was then, in large part because legal abortion is safe. Those physicians were optimistic that society would hail legalized abortion as a public health win for everyone. What they didn’t foresee was today’s ideological backlash. I grew up in New Mexico, the oldest of six children wanted and loved by parents who used birth control and favored abortion rights. They viewed the need for abortion as a sad consequence of the failure to provide young women with appropriate sex education and contraceptive options. My mother, Shirley Leslie, was twice elected the Republican National Committeewoman from New Mexico at a time when the Republican Party was more interested in limited government than limiting women’s access to safe health care. As a second-year resident at Georgetown Medical School in Washington, D.C., I saw the consequences of unsafe abortion first hand when my senior resident showed me a dark old ward in the basement of D.C. General Hospital. Prior to liberalization of abortion rights, all the beds were full of suffering women. They had infections and injuries and hemorrhages, the complications of unsafe abortion attempts. Earlier this year, I joined 99 other professors of obstetrics and gynecology in signing a Statement on Abortion that echoes

the one in 1972: The safety of the woman must be the primary consideration. “We have had 40 years of medical progress but have witnessed political regression that the 100 professors did not anticipate,” says our statement, published in the very same American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. “In 2011 alone, 24 states passed 92 legislative restrictions on abortion. Waiting periods after consent are now law in 26 states.” In 27 states, laws force physicians to provide deceptive counseling, making a mockery of the doctor-patient relationship. Echoing that previous generation, we reaffirmed that our responsibility as physicians is to teach all methods of contraception and abortion; to provide evidence-based information to all patients and legislators; to insist that the hospitals where we work admit abortion patients; and to ensure that all methods of contraception are widely available to reduce the need for abortion. Reason and facts must not be cavalierly cast aside in this debate. The statement of 1972 insisted that the priority must be women’s health and safety. That is still true, and I am honored to be among those who have signed the current statement. The intrusion of government and ideology is undermining the doctor-patient relationship and threatening, not improving, women’s health.

Step up This summer, New Mexico saw deadly wildfires, and yet more extreme drought. Now, a new report reveals the biggest culprits behind the global warming-causing pollution, which scientists warn will bring even worse extreme weather in the future. The Environment New Mexico Research & Policy Center finds that power plants are New Mexico’s single largest source of carbon pollution, responsible for more than half of our carbon emissions. What’s more, the Four Corners Power Plant, outside Farmington, is the 15th-most carbon polluting plant in the nation. I urge New Mexico’s leaders, like our senators and representatives, to support limits on power plants’ carbon pollution. New Mexico can’t afford to wait to act on climate, so it’s critical that our congressional delegation step up and support action. Ramona Malczynski

A better world As we see continuing grief in the Arab and Islamic world, the entire world, nonIslamic and Islamic alike, is and should be disgusted. What the Islamic world needs to do is this: u Dump authoritarian Islam.

Deserving respect

u Separate church and state. u Separate the judicial, legislative and administrative branches of government. u Make the military ruled by and answerable to the nonmilitary government. u Institute representative democracy. u Institute constitutional protections of equal human rights of all people, regardless of race, sex, religion or sexual preference. u Enact clear laws governing commerce and other matters. Each country should be ruled by laws, not by corrupt people superseding laws. u Join the modern world. u Protect the natural environment. The above steps were worked out not by any one country, but over time, by people in many countries. This is what works.

Linda Chavez seemed very distressed at Chelsea Manning’s gender identity in her letter (“Stop pretending,” Sept. 9). She went as far as to call to legally punish all transgender people for existing. I have some questions for her about her outrage. What in you feels so hurt by the mere existence of a transgender person? Who is harmed when Pvt. Chelsea Manning identifies as female? What law does a person offend when they use a new name or pronoun? Transgender people are already targets of violence and discrimination, not only at the hands of hateful strangers, but police as well. They are murdered 1.6 times the rate of cisgender people. Transgender people are human beings deserving of respect and protection under the law.

Time for Gov. Martinez to step up S o now that Gov. Susana Martinez has made New Mexico safe for rich corporations, perhaps she might pay attention to some of us mortals. We could also use her help. Remember our guilty satisfaction each year when Mississippi was tagged as “the worst state to raise a child?” No more. Mississippi can now gloat: “We’re bad — but thank goodness for New Mexico!” Seems like each day a new report sounds another alarm. Increasing poverty; the promise of more children going to sleep hungry; among the nation’s largest education cuts … perhaps our governor heard about them in between her personal, out-of-state fundraisers. There’s good reason Martinez was recently called “one of America’s worst governors” by a nonpartisan group. Despite having the largest percentage of working poor, Martinez opposed increasing the minimum wage for thousands of workers/consumers who are the real job creators. Those workers would have immediately pumped their money back into our local economy. Instead, she champions tax breaks for some the world’s richest corporations, which pay no income tax on their profits here. Would it be indelicate to note that Martinez signed a bill that allows dogs to come in and eat at the same restaurants as

you and I? And shame on Democrats who have supported too many of Martinez’s loony priorities. Not withstanding glowing headlines from some media, education reform is doomed under Martinez’s direction. Her reform plan is guaranteed to fail. Why? Because, she has no plan. A program here and there is not a plan. The Santa Fe Public Schools recently announced its intent to sue the state for not providing sufficient funding for education. They write: “At our current pace it will take 156 years … [before] all our children are performing on grade level … .” Approximately 85 percent of their students are Latino, Indian or black. Last year, the Latino Education Task Force, of which this writer is a member, also announced an intent to sue the state for failing to educate Latino children, who outnumber white students nearly 2-to-1. Experts say that the elimination of just one of the achievement gaps between Latinos and whites will take 104 years. Martinez keeps hammering and demoralizing teachers, but ignores higher education that is producing unprepared educators who continue failing to educate half of New Mexico students. This crisis demands intervention. But, alas, our governor has no intervention plans.

That education needs fixing is now universally accepted. Excluding input from those being affected is a receipt for continued failure. We need to go back to square one and: u Embrace a clear, simple mission: The complete elimination of the achievement gap. u Bring all the major stakeholders — government, business, unions, educators and the community — to the table and say: “Money is no object, so develop a comprehensive intervention plan on how to eliminate that gap.” They could do it in a day. u Educators must be better paid, but they must also have cultural competency. Cultural proficiency skills are a prerequisite to educate our multicultural populations. Educating the Latino, Indian and black children currently being failed will create an economic windfall for the state of more than $1 billion a year. u Be prepared to pay for education reform. Change will not be cheap. So, along with me and you, make the rich corporations pay their fair share of taxes. A comprehensive reform plan is needed, but it’s not going to happen from Martinez’s ivory tower office. And she appears too high up to hear us.

COMMENTARY: ANGELA GIRON

Recalled lawmaker proud of vote P resident Barack Obama has now addressed the seventh mass shooting of his presidency, and we certainly heard the weariness in his voice Monday as spoke about the massacre at the Washington Navy Yard: “It’s a shooting that targeted our military and civilian personnel. These are men and women who were going to work, doing their job, protecting all of us. They’re patriots, and they know the dangers of serving abroad, but today they faced the unimaginable violence that they wouldn’t have expected here at home.” As a state legislator now branded by the word “recalled,” I can identify with that weariness. Gun legislation has stalled in Congress because lawmakers fear the fate I suffered — being targeted, voted out or recalled by extremist political activists because of views on firearms safety that dare challenge the gun lobby. The recall fight that my colleague, Colorado Senate President John Morse, and I lost demonstrated that no matter the cost of our political positions, commonsense gun-safety legislation is achievable. Sen. Morse and I started the 2013 legislative session amid a massive constituent outcry to curb gun violence in our communities. The movie theater shooting in Aurora last summer and the Newtown massacre in Connecticut had brought guns to the forefront of our agenda. We passed laws that extended our state’s background-check system to include private sales, to keep guns out of the hands of criminals; limited ammunition magazines to 15 rounds; and made sure that domestic abusers aren’t allowed to buy or keep guns. Each of these laws is already making Colorado safer. According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, 28 criminals have been denied a firearm through a private sale in the first eight weeks of the expanded backgroundcheck law. That’s more than four criminals a week. These proposals were, and still are, supported by a majority of Colorado voters. But our experience here in Colorado has been that, while extremist groups have a hard time

OUR VIEW

Get rolling on ski route

R making their case to generalelection voters, they have far more control in low-turnout special elections. A good friend in Pueblo was telling me about the school drills her young children must endure after the Newtown massacre. Kindergartners crouch behind overturned tables while an adult knocks on the door, pretending to be an “active shooter.” She said she struggles to decide what is most absurd about this scenario: that a particleboard tabletop would protect her children from automatic gunfire, that a shooter would take the trouble to knock on the classroom door or that her 5-year-old son now uses phrases like “active shooter” in everyday conversation. Those kinds of stories compelled my votes in favor of gun-safety legislation. Hosting multiple town halls, touring a gun show and accepting an invitation to go shooting with a women’s group helped me understand many of the concerns of gun enthusiasts. I even amended our legislation to further accommodate the giving of firearms as gifts within families. In the end, I don’t believe — and I don’t think any legislator, anywhere, believes — that it is better to teach children to use a table as a shield than to enact public

policy to protect us all from gun violence. Our 2013 legislative session was the most productive in a long while. We modernized the way we fund schools and conduct elections. We raised renewable-energy standards and allowed undocumented Colorado high school graduates to get in-state tuition to attend college. We passed laws to regulate and tax recreational marijuana after voters legalized the drug in a 2012 ballot measure. And we extended equal rights for all couples by allowing civil unions. I find it helpful to remind people that 95 percent of the legislation we passed had bipartisan support. A wide range of special interests that have never been concerned about efforts to curb gun violence were more than happy to let the national gun lobby take the lead in the campaign to remove us from office. The industrialist Koch brothers were also heavily involved in the recalls, which probably owed more to our efforts to limit harmful carbon emissions than our efforts to limit gun violence. Legislators fearful of speaking their conscience should remember that a wide range of supporters came to our aid as well. While the news media seemed to care only about

contributions from Michael Bloomberg, equally robust support came from organizations supporting workers, conservation groups, women’s groups and thousands of individual donors, to say nothing of the efforts of groups like Colorado Ceasefire, Americans for Responsible Solutions and Moms Demand Action. Our story is not the cautionary tale the gun lobby would have you believe it is. Beneath the disappointment of not starting the 2014 legislative session with our colleagues, I feel a sense of peace and pride. There is now a counterbalance to the national gun lobby and a growing base of outspoken supporters. As Robert F. Kennedy said, “It is the essence of responsibility to put the public good ahead of personal gain.” Today, Colorado is safer because of the laws we passed. I have no regrets about that. One day Washington, D.C., and states that lack sensible gun laws may be safer as well. Angela Giron is a state senator from Colorado. She will leave the Senate next month, when her recall election opponent is sworn in. This commentary was first published in The Washington Post.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Members of Congress are not earning their pay

s Republicans in Congress strip away the SNAP (food stamp) program, furlough government workers, try to slash Social Security and Medicare, they blame the poor and elderly for the debt in our nation. They claim that receiving benefits should require community work or part-time jobs. Beneficiaries should have “skin in the game” or work for their benefits! But members of Congress do no work, don’t support the constitutional Affordable Care Act, fail to pass a realistic budget or create rational gun control laws. They protect the wealthy and corporations from taxes. When the poor go hungry and government workers are furloughed, Congress will still get paid. Charles E. Hauser, M.D., DLFAPA

Santa Fe

A better definition In her letter, Nancy Alexander, M.D., decries inaccurate communication

Unacceptable changes

(“More communication, please,” Sept. 15) because of the “distinction between the word renovation and the word demolition.” Having stated the obvious as regards the respective meanings of the two words, she goes on to say that “As an educator, I know that excellent education comes from … ” She then proceeds to declare it a “misnomer” (Webster: a name that is wrong or not proper or appropriate) “that new buildings are needed … ” Surely the communication would have been more accurate had she substituted “misconception” (Webster: a false idea or belief) for “misnomer.” Perhaps a medical degree is not an ideal qualification for parsing meanings, although I absolutely agree that new buildings are neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for better education.

As if this world weren’t already in a big mess! Believe me, I don’t have anything against people who are gay or lesbians — I know some really nice ones, but to allow two of the same gender to marry? What is going to happen to our human race? Those couples cannot conceive and have children. Adopt? Adopt who? There won’t be any babies to adopt. That’s not our only problem. Did we have a choice to be born? Would we have loved it if we had been aborted? I don’t think so! We don’t have a choice as to how we are going to die — unless we commit suicide, which also is unacceptable. I say no to same-sex marriage and to abortion. It will affect future generations. Please, lawmakers! Please, judges!

Santa Fe

Pecos

unning a bus route between Santa Fe and the ski area is an obvious move — yet it’s not happening. City Councilor Patti Bushee, city representative on the North Central Regional Transit Board, is asking for a new route that would link Hyde Park Road and Ski Santa Fe. She’s also running for mayor, and getting a bus route would be a nice accomplishment to take before voters. We won’t worry about the why now questions. We just say to all involved. Go for it. A public bus system would do so many things. Ski employees could ride public transit, thus eliminating a number of vehicles on the twisting road to the Santa Fe ski area. Visitors, unused to mountain roads, could leave the driving to an experienced bus driver. Snow-shoe enthusiasts or cross-country ski lovers could ride up with family members who want to ski or snowboard all day and take the bus down after a morning in the mountains. Young snowboarders could ski without mom or dad having to drive. Buses between ski areas and nearby towns are so obvious that such runs are commonplace. Public transit happens in Taos, Los Alamos and other towns across the West. In Boulder, Colo., buses run seven times a day to Eldora Mountain Resort during the winter. Because the North Central Regional Transit District is funded through grants and local taxes, the rides are free. The service is mostly rural, with 20 bus routes linking communities as far-flung as Questa to Red River, Española to Chimayó and Edgewood to Santa Fe. As Bushee points out, a bus route leaving from Santa Fe to the ski area would allow taxpayers in Santa Fe to enjoy more of their tax dollars at work. What’s more, folks at the transit district say they are planning to extend the Peñasco route to Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort. It only makes sense to have buses connecting Santa Fe to an even busier ski resort. We would endorse year-round service, too. More people should have access to the outdoors. Most intriguing about this idea is that maybe, just maybe, public transportation to the ski area would offer a way to bring back public school students to the mountain. The 1999 Shuttlejack crash, which resulted in two deaths, effectively ended Santa Fe Public Schools participation in taking kids to learn to ski or snowboard. Public transportation could relieve the burden of worry over insurance and liability, giving the schools an opportunity to get kids into the great outdoors and introduce them to skiing. (Maybe something as simple as extra routes on the day school gets out early?) Growing up in Santa Fe, every child should have an opportunity to enjoy winter sports. A bus system that can carry people up the mountain — winter or summer — is just the ticket for Santa Fe.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Sept. 24, 1913: Many folks are asking what is wrong with the church these days. Rev. Willis A. Moore, a Detroit pastor, has one answer that seems to hit the nail on the head. Hypocrisy. It isn’t that there are hypocrites in the church which turns many against it, for there hypocrites everywhere. It is the widespread feeling that, knowing of this hypocrisy, the church is apt to say or do nothing about it, because the hypocrites are “good pay.” Sept. 24, 1963: An announced candidate for the Senate spot being vacated by Fabian Chavez has come out with a blast at the State Health Board, which recently offered the top position formerly held by Dr. Stanley Leland to a Texan. José Ortiz y Pino of Galisteo said today the “ridiculous thing about the entire situation is that the department is overlooking some very highly qualified personnel who already are working for the department.” This importation of “tourists” to head our state agencies and departments has got to stop, said Ortiz y Pino. “If the problems of our state are to be dealt with effectively, we at least need to have people who know what the words buenos días mean and mean it when they say them.”

On anniversary, trove of folk music will be released By Jeff Karoub

The Associated Press

etroit is famous for its music, from the Motown hits of the 1960s to the cutting-edge punk of Iggy Pop to the rap of Eminem. Little known, though, is that Michigan was also fertile ground for folk music, brought to the region by immigrants in the early 20th century and played in the logging camps, mines and factory towns where they worked. Legendary folklorist Alan Lomax discovered the music in 1938 when he visited the Midwest on his famous 10-year cross-country trek to document American folk music for the Library of Congress. A trove of his Michigan recordings is now being publicly released for the first time by the library, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of Lomax’s trip. The release is causing a stir among folk music fanciers and history buffs. “It was a fantastic field trip — hardly anything has been published from it,” said Todd Harvey, the Lomax collection’s curator at the library in Washington. The Michigan batch contains about 900 tracks and represents a dozen ethnicities. Lomax, son of famous musicologist John A. Lomax, spent three months in Michigan on his research, which also took him through Appalachia and the deep South. He drove through rural communities and recorded the work songs and folk tunes he heard on a large suitcase-sized disc recorder powered by his car’s battery. The trip was supposed to cover much of the Upper Midwest, but he found so much in Michigan that he made only a few recordings elsewhere in the region. The collection includes acoustic blues from southern transplants, including Sampson Pittman and one-time Robert Johnson collaborator Calvin Frazier; a lumberjack

Joseph Brooks

NEW YORK — An Oscar-winning composer’s son was sentenced Monday to at least a quarter-century in prison in the death of his fashion designer girlfriend, capping a saga of a one-hit-wonder father and an aimless son both accused of seriously abusing women. As Nicholas Brooks was given the maximum 25-years-to-life sentence for his conviction in the murder of Sylvie Cachay, there was no way his father could have been there to see him. The younger Brooks, 27, and Cachay had a six-month relationship. Cachay, 33, had worked as a designer for Marc Jacobs, Victoria’s Secret and Tommy Hilfiger and had her own swimsuit line. His father, Joseph Brooks, won the Academy Award for best original song in 1977 for “You Light Up My Life,” sung by Debby Boone. He killed himself in 2011, while he was fighting charges of raping or molesting 13 wouldbe actresses. Prosecutors said the songwriter lured the women to his Manhattan apartment. He pleaded not guilty. Four days after his suicide at 73, his former assistant pleaded guilty to criminal facilitation, saying she helped him meet 10 of the women. The Associated Press

The 250 disc recordings of about 125 performers, along with eight reels of film footage and photographs, reflect the rich mixture of cultures in Depression-era Michigan, where immigrants fleeing poverty and persecution in Europe and the South came seeking jobs. Natives of French-speaking Canada, Finland, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Poland, Ireland and Hungary perform the songs, which represent 10 languages. John and Alan Lomax’s archives at the library’s American Folklife Center encompass 10,000 sound recordings and 6,000 graphic images, documenting creative expression by cultural groups around the world. Most famous were the field recordings made in the South, including those of Leadbelly, Muddy Waters and Son House. Lomax’s Michigan research proved to be challenging. Thieves twice broke into his car and stole equipment and films, and performers would hound him for money or liquor in exchange for recording them. He frequently requested more money from headquarters, in part, he wrote, because “songs in [Michigan] absolutely require beer.” The recordings weren’t released at the time, in part because the late 1930s were a time of growing suspicion of non-English speaking immigrants in the United States, said Sommers.

NFL BRONCOS 37, RAIDERS 21

Closes challenger New Zealand’s lead to 8-6 By Bernie Wilson

The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — This America’s Cup would be tied at 8 if defending champion Oracle Team USA hadn’t been hit with the harshest penalties in the regatta’s 162-year history. No worries, says Australian-born skipper, Jimmy Spithill. He’s a boxer as well as a sailor, and his spark and motivation has helped spur Oracle’s remarkable comeback from what seemed like certain defeat a week ago. Spithill put his bows down, accelerated his 72-foot catamaran off the starting line and pulled clear of Emirates Team New Zealand on Monday to claim a fifth straight victory and stay alive in the longest America’s Cup in history. The 34-year-old Spithill and his brain trust of Olympic gold medalists — British tactician Ben Ainslie and Australian strategist Tom Slingsby — kept the American-backed boat ahead the whole way around the fiveleg course on San Francisco Bay for a 33-second victory. Although the teams are tied on the water, the Kiwis lead 8-6 because Oracle was docked two points and wing sail trimmer Dirk de Ridder was tossed from the regatta after it was discovered that the syndicate illegally modified boats during warmup races called the America’s Cup World Series. That shrinking lead no doubt has all of New Zealand on edge. The Kiwis have been on match point since Wednesday, only to watch Spithill and Oracle’s improved 72-foot catamaran sail ahead in a determined attempt to keep the oldest trophy in international sports. Oracle Team USA, owned by software tycoon Larry Ellison, needs three more wins to keep the Auld Mug. Because Race 16 was delayed a half-hour due to light wind, Race 17 was postponed until Tuesday. Race 18, if necessary, also is scheduled for Tuesday. On Sept. 12, with Oracle trailing 6 to minus-1, Spithill raised eyebrows when he said, “I think the question is, imagine if these guys lost from here, what an upset that would be. They’ve almost got it in the bag. That’s my motivation.” Now Spithill is attempting to pull

Keen: 1 goal short of 40 points Continued from Page B-1 Clady as his blindside protector didn’t exactly pan out. Lamarr Houston beat Denver’s new starting left tackle badly in the third quarter for a sack and strip that halted a drive that had reached the Raiders 13. But Denver was ahead 30-7 at that point. “Those are things we have to iron out,” Manning said. And, really, any complaints about Denver’s offense seem like quibbling given what’s gone on so far this season. The record for touchdown passes in a season is 50, set by Brady in 2007. If he keeps up this pace, Manning will throw 64.

As for Denver’s biggest rival, the Raiders — since Manning arrived, the Broncos have outscored them 100-40 in three runaway wins. The Raiders offense made one big play before the game got out of hand, when Terrelle Pryor (19 for 28 for 281 yards) hit Denarius Moore in the middle of the field and Broncos defensive backs Duke Ihenacho and Dominique RodgersCromartie whiffed on the tackle. Moore went 73 yards to cut Oakland’s deficit to 17-7 in the second quarter. All of which simply gave Manning the ball back more quickly. On the first play of the next drive, he hit Decker, who

spun away from his defender for a 61-yard gain. Three plays later, the Broncos were up 17 again after Manning found Thomas on an out route for a 13-yard score. The Broncos defense, now halfway through Von Miller’s suspension and playing again without injured Champ Bailey, allowed only 9 yards on the ground to Darren McFadden, who came into the game leading the league with 223 yards from scrimmage. McFadden did, however, throw a touchdown — a 16-yard connection to Marcel Reece on a halfback option — and get a late score on the ground.

certainly doesn’t look very promising right now.” Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon, who had a better view of Machado’s collapse, had a more stark analysis. “It’s horrible,” Maddon said. “Hate to see that. This young man blows out his knee, possibly, and then this collision in right field. You can see how badly they wanted it, too.” Casilla, playing second base, collided with right fielder Nick Markakis while chasing Wil Myers’ two-run single in the bottom of the seventh. Casilla actually caught the ball for what would have been the third out, but couldn’t hold onto it when his head struck Markakis’ thigh. “I thought about doing a slide, saw him out of the corner of my eye, tried to pull up and get out of the way,” Markakis said. “It was just bang bang, him coming full speed, me coming full speed. It was like trying to stop a train on a dime. I’m not a doc-

tor or anything, but when he was out there, I could have sworn he was knocked out. He was laying there; [Adam Jones] and I were trying to get him to sit still until somebody got out there. He kind of looked dazed and confused.” Casilla finished the inning, but was taken out in the eighth. “I probably should have taken him out but I didn’t know what he had hit until between innings,” Showalter said. “He’s going to get a [CT scan] and stay overnight here, not travel. He got a little foggyheaded between innings and had to come out of there.” Loney batted for Sean Rodriguez and lined a 0-1 pitch from Hunter (6-5) down the right field line to win it. Joel Peralta (3-8) pitched a perfect ninth for the Rays, who have won nine of 12. Chris Davis hit his major league-best 52nd homer for Baltimore. Machado singled for the Orioles’ first hit leading off the fourth and Davis fol-

lowed with his two-run shot off Chris Archer as part of a three-run inning that put Baltimore ahead 3-1. J.J. Hardy had an RBI single. Going back to the final 11 innings of the Orioles’ 5-4, 18-inning loss to the Rays Friday night, Baltimore had just two runs and 10 hits over 32 innings before getting the three runs on four hits in the fourth. Archer gave up four runs and five hits in 4⅓ innings. Baltimore left-hander Wei-Yin Chen also went 4⅓ innings, allowing two runs and six hits. NOTES u The Orioles scored 30 runs and batted .195 on their 10-game road trip. u Showalter said RHP Chris Tillman, who tweaked his ankle last Thursday, will make his scheduled start Tuesday night against Toronto. u Tampa Bay CF Desmond Jennings sat out went with a left hamstring strain. Maddon expects Jennings to return before the regular season ends.

sPOrTs PREP ROUNDUP

Lady Wildcats 8th-grader scored all 4 goals in win The New Mexican

Natalie Longmire-Kulis had herself quite an afternoon on Monday. The Desert Academy eighth-grader scored all four of her team’s goals in a 4-2 win over the Academy for Technology and the Classics. Played in windy conditions at Alto Park, neither team could settle into a flow on offense — except, of course, for LongmireKulis. Her first goal was assisted by Chloe Clemens in the first half as the Lady Wildcats (6-4) took a 3-2 lead at halftime. Her last goal was assisted by Daisy Ottaviano. The other two were all her own doing. “It was just so super windy today that it was hard to do much of anything with

the ball,” said Desert Academy head coach Niki Wheeler. The Lady Wildcats host district rival St. Michael’s on Friday at Alto Park. BOYS SOCCER DeserT AcADemy 4, mOrenO VAlley 0 At Bicentenniel Park, the host Wildcats completed the regular season sweep of their nondistrict rivals behind a solid defensive effort spearheaded by goalkeeper Jasper Grossman. He made a pair of stops on Moreno Valley breakaways. “Both shots were low down and into the corner and Jasper read them both perfectly and actually made great plays,” said Rob Lochner, Desert Academy head coach. Strikers Sudi Torres and Noah Gibson had two goals apiece for the Wildcats (3-4).

Alex Redmond and Celestin Bassene had assists. OTHER GAMES

The St. Michael’s boys picked up a District 2A-AAA win over Portales, beating the Rams 5-2 at the Christian Brothers Athletic Compex on Tuesday. In so doing, the Horsemen (6-2, 5-0) put a stranglehold on the district standings halfway through the 2A-AAA schedule. Santa Fe Preparatory (6-2, 2-1) sits in sole possession of second place. The St. Michael’s girls also beat Portales by a 5-0 count on Monday, giving the Lady Horsemen (6-3, 2-0) their second straight win by shutout. Isabel Chavez, Nique Enloe, Adriana Camarena, Cris Gabaldon and Monse Camarena each scored goals. The goals by Chavez and Gabaldon were unassisted.

Oracle: Scandal clouds team’s performance Continued from Page B-1 off one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. His five-race run has matched the longest winning streak in America’s Cup match history. Rebounding from the penalties is “not frustrating; it’s actually motivating, to be honest,” Spithill said Monday. “The thing I’ve found is when it’s very difficult and very challenging, that’s when it’s the most rewarding. We’re not going to make excuses. We’re going to work hard. We feel like we’ve made great progress with the performance of the boat. I think that was evident today in lighter air. As per usual, we’re going to go back tonight, work very, very hard, and come out tomorrow swinging.” Oracle CEO Russell Coutts said the team’s management and skippers didn’t know about the illegal modifications that led to the penalties. Besides the cheating scandal, Oracle’s training program was set back four months after its first boat capsized in mid-October and was swept out past the Golden Gate Bridge. “We’re sailors. We’re athletes. We’re not about the politics and all of that sort of stuff,” Spithill said. “Life’s not fair sometimes. … We can win this Cup. They can take as many races as they want. But for us, we know we can win this Cup

if we win the next few races. So we can control our own destiny there. “The boys are incredibly fired up. I’ve never seen them like this before. The entire team, there’s a lot of great energy there.” Skipper Dean Barker said the Kiwis remain positive but know they have to improve. “We still wouldn’t trade positions,” Barker said. “We still would rather be on match point than having to win three more. It is definitely a battle. There’s

no question the Oracle guys have stepped it up a lot and we need to be able to respond.” Barker had Emirates Team New Zealand in the favored leeward position crossing the starting line before Spithill got Oracle Team USA onto its hydrofoils, with both hulls out of the water, and sped into the lead rounding the first mark. Spithill, Ainslie and Slingsby are among the world’s most competitive sailors. Oracle Team USA has won seven of the last nine races,

and nine of 11 since Spithill replaced American tactician John Kostecki with Ainslie, who won four straight Olympic gold medals to go with his silver medal from 1996. Ainslie clearly has good communications with Slingsby, who won a gold medal at the London Olympics. Ainslie wasn’t supposed to sail in this regatta, until Oracle got into such a big hole. He had been steering the backup boat during training to help get Spithill up to speed.

Tiger: This year one of his worst seasons Continued from Page B-1 he won the award except 2003. So this has been a great season by any other comparison except with himself. Three of the last four winners did not win a major. Luke Donald won in 2011 with only two victories, one of them at Disney. He also won the money title and the Vardon Trophy, and his win at Disney was one of clutch performances. Needing nothing short of a win to be the first player with money titles on both sides of the Atlantic in the same year, he birdied the first six holes on the back nine and shot 64 to do just that. Jim Furyk won in 2010 with only three victories and one other significant trophy — the FedEx Cup. Phil Mickelson won the Masters that year, but the other majors went to players who weren’t even PGA Tour members at the time (Graeme McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer). Woods won in 2009 with seven wins and a sweep of all the other awards (Vardon, money title). To be sure, Mickelson and Adam Scott could have made a convincing case by winning the Tour Championship. That would have given either of them three wins, including a major and the FedEx Cup (Mickelson would have needed some help for the latter). But they didn’t. One of the more famous sayings in golf is that the scorecard has only a number, not pictures. These are the numbers: u Woods led the league with five wins. He won the money title by over $2 million. He won the Vardon Trophy for lowest adjusted scoring average. u Scott won the Masters and The Barclays, which arguably

has the strongest field in golf. He finished in the top 5 at two other majors. u Mickelson won the British Open and the Phoenix Open. He was runner-up in the U.S. Open. Stenson also is on the ballot with two FedEx Cup playoff wins and the trophy itself (along with the $10 million bonus). He finished in the top

3 at two other majors. Two great wins and zero majors don’t cut it. Matt Kuchar is also on the ballot, but only for balance. He had his best year ever with two wins. That will have to do. Adding pictures to the scorecard is the only thing that could change the vote. Mickelson came within in a dimple of 59 in the Phoenix Open. He had the lead on the

back nine at Merion and was runner-up at the U.S. Open for the sixth time. He bounced back to win the British Open — the major not even Mickelson thought he could win — with what his peers consider one of the greatest closing rounds in a major. It left him one leg short of the Grand Slam, though winning on a links course already defines him as a complete player even without a U.S. Open. Scott became the first Aussie in a green jacket and he was leading the British Open on the back nine until making four straight bogeys. He was poised for a run at the Tour Championship until getting sick at the wrong time. Both are great stories. But did they have better years? Here are a few things to keep in mind. This is a vote of the players, and there’s no telling how they define the award. Best player or best year? Do they have an agenda? Is it a popularity contest? Still baffling is Rickie Fowler winning rookie of the year in 2010 over Rory McIlroy, even though McIlroy won at Quail Hollow, Fowler didn’t win at all and neither reached the Tour Championship. Is it a sentimental pick for Mickelson, the greatest to have never won player of the year? Is there resentment toward Woods for how he handled the penalty given to him at Conway Farms for his ball moving? The tour won’t release results, only a winner. And it won’t reveal voter turnout. Most of these guys only pay attention to their tee times. One final thought as it relates to Woods: If his record this year belonged to any other player, would this even be a debate?

Rios hits for cycle as Rangers rout Astros The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Alex Rios stood in front of an empty bottle of champagne while he answered Rangers 12 questions about the Astros 0 first cycle of his career. He’s hoping there might be a few more bottles in the near future for the Texas Rangers. Rios hit for the cycle, Derek Holland struck out nine in his second shutout of the season and the Rangers started their final push for a playoff spot with a 12-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday night. The Rangers pulled within a game of idle Cleveland for the second AL wild-card berth with six games remaining. They are two games behind wild-card leader Tampa Bay, which beat Baltimore 5-4 on Monday. If they want to celebrate a fourth straight season in the playoffs, the Rangers will have to keep it up in the final two games against the Astros and a four-game finishing series against the Los Angeles Angels — all at home. “We have to focus on the things that we have to do to win a game at a time,” said Rios, who completed the cycle in his only four at-bats and drove in four runs. “It doesn’t do any good for us to look at what’s happening around us.” Rios finished the cycle with a triple to right-center field in the sixth inning, pulling into third standing up without a throw and later scoring to put Texas up 11-0. He doubled in the first inning, had an infield single in the third and hit his 18th homer for a 9-0 lead in the fourth. He didn’t get a chance for a fifth hit. Engel Beltre replaced him in right field in the seventh as one of the mass substitutions in a game that was out of hand early. Both teams used 14 players. WHITE SOx 3, BLuE JAyS 2 In Chicago, Jose Quintana pitched into the eighth inning and rookie Marcus Semien hit his first homer to lead the White Sox to victory. Quintana (9-6), who entered the game with the most nodecisions in the American League at 17, allowed two runs on five hits in 7⅓ innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth inning to record his 39th save of the season. Toronto starter J.A. Happ (4-7) threw 110 pitches in his five innings, allowing three runs and eight hits. Semien’s homer in the second inning opened the scoring. With Dayan Viciedo on first, Semien hit an 0-2 pitch from Happ down the line and well over the fence for a 2-0 lead. Semien was called up on Sept. 4. TWINS 4, TIGERS 3 (11 INNINGS) In Minneapolis, Josmil Pinto hit an RBI single in the 11th inning and Minnesota overcame 12 strikeouts by Justin Verlander to beat Detroit. The Tigers led 3-0 in the eighth, but Jose Veras gave up RBI doubles to Eduardo Escobar and Ryan Doumit. Brian Dozier led off the ninth with a tying homer against previously perfect closer Joaquin Benoit. Dozier opened the 11th with a single off Luke Putkonen (1-2) and advanced on a wild pitch. Pinto punched a single to right field to give manager Ron Gardenhire his 998th career victory.

It will be Pittsburgh’s first trip to the postseason since Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Co. won three straight NL East titles from 1990-92. Bonds then left for San Francisco as a free agent, and the small-budget Pirates piled up 20 consecutive losing seasons — the longest streak in major professional sports. Starling Marte hit a tiebreaking homer off Kevin Gregg (2-6) in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field, and the Pirates threw out a runner at the plate for the final out. Back in the visitors’ clubhouse, they doused each other in champagne once St. Louis’ 4-3 win over the Nationals went final. Cincinnati also clinched at least a wild-card berth when it beat the Mets. The Pirates and Reds both trail first-

place St. Louis by two games in the NL Central with five to go.

London stadium wants more NFL By Rob Harris

The Associated Press

LONDON — The famous arch rising above Wembley Stadium is becoming an increasingly familiar sight for NFL fans. The London venue has become the trusted vehicle for the league’s annual efforts to drum up more overseas interest. Heading into the first of two regular-season games at Wembley this year, it’s clear that stadium officials want to see a lot more of the NFL as well. With the league expanding its annual international series from one game to two this year, the usual questions arise whether one day the league will expand to London. And while the league says any such decision is several years away, Wembley officials say they’ll be ready if the day comes. Squeezing in a full slate of home games on Sundays shouldn’t interfere with the stadium’s commitments to host England’s national team soccer fixtures and other events, Wembley’s managing director Roger Maslin said Monday. “Absolutely we can,” Maslin said in an executive box overlooking the Wembley pitch. “I am absolutely confident if [NFL Commissioner] Roger Goodell wanted to have a franchise here we could absolutely deliver on it.” Known for being England’s national football stadium — the other football, played with a round ball — Wembley started staging regular-season NFL games in 2007. On

While a London-based franchise wouldn’t be sustainable now, those in charge of Wembley Stadium are keen on hosting a permanent team, and even the Super Bowl. Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings play the Pittsburgh Steelers, before the Jacksonville Jaguars face the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 27. It is the first of four games over four seasons in London for the Jaguars, raising the prospect of the Florida team one day uprooting to London, where owner Shad Khan bought Premier League club Fulham in July. The two 2013 games sold out within hours, which Maslin said is a sign of the rising popularity of the NFL in Britain. Sunday’s game matches a pair of 0-3 clubs. The “core fan base” in the U.K. is now more than 2 million, according to Chris Parsons, the NFL’s senior vice president of international. That’s more than double the figure when

the league first brought regular-season games to Wembley in 2007, but still not high enough for a franchise here to be sustainable. “We’ve doubled our fan base in the last 3½ to four years,” Parsons said. “I’d like to see that at least double again in the next three or four years. That would put us among the top five sports in the U.K. in terms of core fan base.” While having a full-time franchise in London is still “clearly an option” for the NFL, Parsons cautioned that there are no immediate plans. “There are several steps we need to continue to take before we get to that deeper conversation,” Parsons said. “We’d like to play more games every year as we move forward. … Once you’ve got a sizeable fan base, the options are then much more available to you to do certain things.” Even if it doesn’t get a full-time franchise, Wembley has its sights set on another major target: hosting a Super Bowl. That is, if the league ever decides to move its showcase game abroad. “They are a very progressive organization so long, long, long term they might consider [a Super Bowl in London], but it’s a hell of a call,” Maslin said of the NFL. “Absolutely … if they bring it anywhere in the world, we want it here at Wembley.” AP sports writer Mattias Karen contributed to this report.

COMMENTARY

NASCAR has been turned upside down in 2 months By Jenna Fryer

The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. hese are strange times in NASCAR, where everything has turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Michael Waltrip Racing is fighting for its survival in the wake of a race-fixing scandal and a driver who woke up two Mondays ago in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship is now looking for a job. Sponsors are taking a stand, too — against a team over ethics, maybe even against NASCAR for the perception that all teams are not treated equally. A single-car team based in Colorado suddenly has the most desired seat in the garage, and when the music stops, a pair of respected veterans and the Nationwide Series championship leader may be left standing without rides because the youth movement has clearly taken over. Maybe everything went haywire when Tony Stewart broke his leg Aug. 5. That’s when coowner Gene Haas went rogue, seizing the opportunity while Stewart was incapacitated to finalize a deal to hire the seemingly untouchable Kurt Busch. Nothing else has made much sense since then. Busch, whose talent had taken tiny Furniture Row Motorsports to the verge of a Chase berth, was suddenly headed back to a dream job. With Stewart sidelined for the rest of the season, defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski stuck in a slump and perpetual contender Denny Hamlin out of

Chase contention, the field was open to roughly 10 drivers suddenly vying for a golden ticket into NASCAR’s version of the playoffs. As Furniture Row walked the fine line of courting a new driver — the team flew Juan Pablo Montoya to Colorado for a shop tour — while making last-minute preparations for Busch’s Chase push, Michael Waltrip Racing was readying its fleet for the homestretch. MWR had a legitimate title contender in Clint Bowyer, ranked second or third in the standings for 10 consecutive weeks, and Martin Truex Jr. was on the Chase bubble. So everything seemed somewhat normal headed into Richmond, where the Sept. 7 race would end with the top 12 drivers advancing into the Chase and Montoya probably taking

the Furniture Row job. Then came the late-race shenanigans by MWR to get Truex the final Chase berth. That’s when things really spun out of control. NASCAR came down hard with sanctions, including Truex’s removal from the Chase field in favor of Stewart teammate Ryan Newman. Longtime Waltrip sponsor NAPA Auto Parts, citing its belief in “fair play,” then said it would pull its multimillion-dollar sponsorship from MWR at the end of the year. The NAPA decision could force MWR to lay off up to 100 employees and fold its No. 56 car. So Truex went from driving his guts out in an effort to make the Chase to an unwitting participant in a team scandal to being potentially out of work eight weeks from now.

Bowyer, one of the most popular drivers in the garage, is now feeling the ire of fans for his role in the Richmond scandal and his promising season has fallen apart after two mediocre races to start the Chase, maybe because of all the pressure. He’s 10th in the standings, essentially out of title contention, and sponsor 5-Hour Energy said it will decide after the season if it will continue its relationship with MWR. Then 5-Hour President Scott Henderson took a peculiar stance Sunday at New Hampshire, where he seemed to question NASCAR chairman Brian France’s decision not to punish Penske Racing the same way it did MWR for trying to manipulate the Richmond race to get Joey Logano into the Chase, and perhaps for expanding the Chase field to 13 drivers to accommodate Jeff Gordon. Bowyer and Gordon had an issue late last season that took Bowyer out of title contention. “There’s a lot of talk about integrity,” Henderson said. “When the guy who’s in charge can say, ‘I can do whatever I want and I’m going to do it and I just did,’ I wonder about integrity. I want to make sure we can win in this sport, OK?” Should 5-Hour bail at the end of the year, Bowyer will be in far worse shape than Truex. At least Truex has some time to look for a job. In December, there won’t be any jobs to be had. And speaking of jobs, there’s really only one seat open right now — the Furniture Row vacancy that Montoya turned down.

Be polite to fiancé’s difficult mother Dear Annie: My fiancé’s mother has a rocky relationship with both of her sons. We see her infrequently, but still, my fiance loses his patience with her quickly. At first I was OK with her, but now she annoys me, as well. She brags about things, pleads to get her way, plans visits without checking with us, is sensitive to being told no or to anything she perceives as criticism, and is very demanding. She also recently pulled a childish trick. When my fiance told her no repeatedly, she simply called me to plead her case, knowing I am uncomfortable saying no. She is in her late 60s and continues to blame her actions on a rocky childhood. My mother says to just be polite to her, which I try hard to do. But now that she is in my home for a week, conversations with her are impossible, and I feel I need to walk away. She has a psychiatric disorder, although I am not sure of the diagnosis. My fiancé’s grandmother indicates it is schizophrenia, so I don’t want to push her too far. We are getting married soon at a courthouse. During this unplanned and uninvited trip, she said it is too expensive for her and my fiancé’s father to travel to see us get married. I am fine with this, but my fiance is upset that his parents do not care enough to make it work. They can afford the airline tickets. I think it is my fiance’s place to explain his hurt feelings to them. Do I continue to be polite about it? I am currently working long hours to avoid being in my home while she is visiting. Is there a better way to handle this? — Z. Dear Z.: Yes, please continue to be polite. We recognize that his mother’s behavior is difficult, but you see her infrequently, so try to tolerate her as best you can for your fiancé’s sake. He obviously cares a great deal about his parents. He should tell them how important it is to him that they attend

They might not be handling matters as you would like, but they come close with some creative touches. Tonight: Accept an invitation out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might be eager to jump into the fray and lead the way out. You clearly see how to get the outcome you desire. Tonight: Take it easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might think that others understand more than they do. Most people base their concepts on a conventional model. Tonight: A love interest is batting his or her eyelashes at you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You will feel centered and ready to run with the ball.

Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.

the wedding, but he cannot control their response. We hope they will make the effort to be there, and we hope you will be supportive without commiserating too much. Dear Annie: Lately, it seems as if my siblings have been ignoring me, except for the eldest. I’m a teenager, and my siblings are older. The eldest tries to involve me in everything she can, but she’s moved out of the house. The other two go off and have fun, and when I try to join in, they give me nasty looks and tell me to go away. What should I do about them? — Indiana Teen Dear Teen: You should recalibrate your expectations. Your siblings are not responsible for your social life. We know it hurts when they go off without you, but such rudeness is not uncommon. Learn to ignore them. When they leave, casually wave goodbye and be occupied with something else. As you grow up, this situation will improve, but it will take time. Meanwhile, phone or text your friends and schedule some activities so you are less focused on what your siblings are doing. It also will make you much more interesting to them if you seem independently busy and happy. If you need help doing this, talk to your parents, your school counselor, a favorite teacher or other trusted adult. Dear Annie: I’m responding to the comment from “Germantown, Tenn.,” about store employees being forced to stand all day. That’s part of their job description and how products get to the shelves. In the store that I manage, the older employees never have complained about standing all day. — The Manager Dear Manager: The fact that your employees don’t complain doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering. Standing is OK if you get to walk around, but otherwise, it is hard on the feet and back.
