Mayor talks weeds, city managers and animal control STAFF REPORT

Editor’s note: This is the fourth in a monthly series of interviews with Roswell Mayor Dennis Kintigh by Roswell Daily Record staff.

Those with a question for the mayor may send queries to Daily Record Editor T imothy Howsare at editor@rdrnews.com, or to City Editor Randal Seyler at reporter02@rdrnews.com.

Have you turned down any Ice Bucket Challenges? If so, why?

I have had like three or four of them, and I haven’t turned any of them down, I am just trying to get through the last week of this city manager search.

I’m running a hundred miles an hour and candidly, when I get home, I just want to, pardon the pun, chill out. We get through this whole process give me a week and I’m amenable to it, but let me get past this

other stuff. I am really kind of focused on that. I’ve had at least three if not four challenges, so hopefully it is still going on next week or the week after.

Question from Twitter: Did you read or have comments on the negative comments of citizens as expressed in columns published in the Roswell Daily Record by Tim Howsare and Bob Entrop?

I like what Bob Entrop wrote, I know Bob. In interest of full disclosure, Bob helped me on my campaign, he did some of my messaging. But I think he is spot on. There are some aspects that people are not going to like. We have a crime problem. And you know what? We need to deal with it. I meet with the chief and deputy chief once a month; I meet with the chief, deputy chief and command staf f once a month, so ... twice a month, I am over at the

police department — that doesn’t include the inbetween times. We looked to make the funding for the police department a priority, and we fought that battle, but crime doesn’t get tur ned around in a day, and there are multiple aspects to crime and public safety. I think the derelict structures are a big part of it. There are some people who are not happy about tearing down some of these. ‘I remember when Roswell College of Cosmetology was a great place!’ and “My mother bought flowers at Barringer’s Greenhouse 30 years ago!”

They’re full of rodents and roaches and they’re nasty places they can’t be restored. That is part of it and we have to address it.

Shopping? That is an interesting dynamic. I don’t know where shopping is going to go. My wife does a lot of stuff on the internet, she does sewing, she actu-

During Saturday’s meeting, Williams showed a display of basic ideas of what might be incorporated into a new building such as a pool and an indoor soccer field.

“The weather is not always good,” Williams said. “However, these (drawings) are just “cookie cutter” ideas and they would have to be customized for our building.”

“Why isn’t the building open on Saturdays?” Huff asked. “And why is it open (other times) when it’s not being used?”

Williams explained that

City still wants input on Yucca The last meeting of the month for input of ideas on the fate of the Yucca Recreation Center drew only a handful of citizens, much to the dismay of meeting organizers Saturday morning.

City Councilor for Ward 5 Tabitha D. Denny and Dir ector of Parks and Recreation T im Williams spoke to the three people in attendance at the New Mexico Game and Fish Department, 1912 W. Second St., at the 11:30 a.m. meeting.

Attending was: Ann Huff, and Cookie and Ellie Fletcher. Parks and Recreation Department Superintendent Ken Smith also joined the group later.

“We’re trying to make sure that we do it right,” Denny said about the public meetings schedule. “It’s disappointing that there’s only a few here.”

Wild West lives on at Organist says instrument is ‘unique, beautiful’ shooting competition Cleis Jordan’s musical

BY TIMOTHY P. HOWSARE RECORD EDITOR

When most people in Roswell think of the Wild West, a particular watering hole on U.S. 380 in the wester n outskirts of the city comes to mind.

But for local residents and their compadres throughout the Southwest who are members of the Single Action Shooting Society — SASS for short — the Wild West of the 1880s with authentic firear ms and attire are as real to them as multitasking and emails are to the rest of us.

Kind of makes you a bit envious, doesn’t it?

Shooting enthusiasts young and old were in Roswell this weekend to compete in the SASS New Mexico State Championship.

The competition was held at the Chisum Cowboys Gun Club shooting range, a few miles north of the city on Jal Road. Two other gun

clubs, the Chaparral Skeet Club and the Pecos Valley Gun Club, have their own ranges adjacent to the Chisum Cowboys.

Darrell Evans and his wife, “Two-Bit Tammy,” are both members of Chisum Cowboys.

Evans said the land for the three gun clubs is owned by the city, but the clubs had to clean up the land and put up all the buildings and range equipment at their own expense.

“This property used to look like the land over there,” he said while pointing to the open, untamed desert.

The Chisum Cowboys shooting range is actually a replica of an Old West town divided into several “bays” where the gunslingers shoot at stationary targets with rifles, pistols and shotguns.

Shooters are scored for speed and accuracy, Evans See COMPETITION, Page A2

career spans 59 years

BY SHANNON SEYLER SPECIAL TO THE RECORD

The pipe organ at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Roswell is a unique instrument, one that has long been entrusted to the capable hands of Cleis Jordan, a professional organist with 59 years of experience.

Such a complex instrument requires the expertise of a highly skilled musician. Jordan holds a bachelor’s degree in music education from Northwestern University, and a Master of Arts degree in organ performance from the University of Houston.

“For a small church in a small town, we are doublyblessed,” says Janet Macaluso, choir director at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. “Not only do we have a unique and beauti-

• DELORACE JEAN “TUDY” BARNETT • ANITA ANN WILSON-MATTUS

ful organ, but we have an amazingly skilled and knowledgeable person to play it for us every week of the year. Cleis is one-of-akind.”

Jordan is always glad to discuss and promote pipe organ music. Describing the St. Andrew’s organ, Jordan says, “this Baroque style tracker organ was built by the Bedient Pipe Organ Company in Nebraska. It has two keyboards and a full pedalboard. There are a variety of musical tones and textures, from soft flutes to bombastic, reedy trumpets.

“The organ pipes are located in a beautiful See JORDAN, Page A2

The organ at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Roswell is a Baroque-style tracker organ built by the Bedient Pipe Organ Company in Nebraska. A tracker organ has mechanical linkage between the keys and pipe valves, so for the musician the key pressure changes as stops are added or subtracted.

the center is usually not open on Saturdays once school begins, except to host sporting events. The center’s offices are open during the week even if ther e is har dly anyone using the center. Williams said that he would investigate the current schedule further to see if they could open the center every Saturday.

The group agreed that the location of the center serves as a safe place for the children in the area to go, noting that only a block separates it fr om known drug dealing activity.

“I would rather have my

Jordan

kids be somewhere where they can learn something,” Huf f said. None of the attendees have children living in Roswell but all expressed concer n that there should be more discussion about the Yucca center.

“Where are the parents at these meetings?” Mr. Fletcher wanted to know.

“They are the ones that should be involved.”

Denny noted that it is an ongoing problem to get the community involved and help their city representatives make decisions.

“They want us to do something, but no one wants to work for it.”

handmade wooden case directly above the console, and require one pipe for each note in each family of sounds on the organ. As a result, there are hundreds of pipes in the case.”

Because Jordan is concerned about organ music, she can’t help but lament its decline.

“The cost of a pipe organ and its upkeep are beyond the reach of many churches,” she says, “so they’ve chosen electronic organs or other resources, including guitars, amplified pianos and instruments, bands and recorded music. Also, the newer congregational hymnbooks use simple tunes and contemporary language to appeal to the masses, with music more adaptable to piano or guitar accompaniment. There has also been a deemphasis in schools on music education. This has hurt not only church music, but attendance at symphonies and other classical venues.”

A Lincoln resident since 1981, Jordan has a pipe organ in her home.

“I have a small two keyboard and full pedalboard Holtkamp pipe organ, the ‘Martini’ model. The pipes are in a case partially enclosed by glass directly in front of the console. There are metal pipes as small as a tiny pencil, to the largest pipes, which are wood and 12 feet long.”

Jordan has played for many churches, including the First Baptist Church of Salt Lake City, Utah, Transfiguration Episcopal Church in Evergreen, Colo., the First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville, Ala., the First Baptist Church of Berkeley, Calif., and the

Denny said.

So far, $500,000 in state funds is available to fix the roof.

“But if we put up a new r oof and don’t do the repair work to the building it will be like putting the roof on sticks,” she said.

On the other hand if the state funding is not used it would go back to the state and the city would have to r eapply for the money later, which it may or may not get then, Denny explained.

Denny doesn’t see the historic 1912 building being torn down, even if a new center is built but “then we have to consider

First Congregational Church of Houston, Texas. And despite having retired twice, she’s served off and on as the organist at St. Andrew’s for the past 20 years.

Jordan’s career serves as testimony to the fact that it’s possible to play the organ not merely as a hobby, but as a professional vocation.

“Full-time career opportunities still exist in the form of organist and choral director positions. One can also teach organ, voice, and/or piano to supplement one’s income.”

But church music isn’t the only possibility.

“An electronic organist can play in rock and pop bands, although that’s completely different from the classical style,” Jordan said.

“Occasionally, one finds a pizza parlor hiring an organist for their Wurlitzer pipe organ, which may have come out of some theater.

“Roswell has the good fortune to have one in the Pearson Auditorium at the New Mexico Military Institute.”

Jordan said she knows of an organist who also does recitals, recordings and TV documentaries.

“She’s the full-time organist for the city of San Diego, but such jobs are rare. If one has a doctorate in organ performance, there are university teaching opportunities, but that demand has declined in conjunction with the changes happening in the churches,” Jordan said.

When asked about her favorite organ compositions, Jordan says, “I have numerous favorite compositions,

the maintenance costs,” she added.

Williams said that some of the programs have been moved to the Roswell Adult Center, but said that they haven’t approached the Roswell Independent School District nor the New Mexico Military Institute about the use of their gyms.

Williams said that the next step will be to bring in a private engineering firm to check the soundness of the Yucca center.

“The center is still safe,” Denny added.

but am really drawn to the music of J.S. Bach, Buxtehude, and Jean Langlais, as well as some 20th-century American composers like Leo Sowerby and Wilbur Held.”

She has advice for aspiring pipe organists.

“Have a solid background in piano first. Then find a teacher who’s been trained as an organist, because the technique is different. Listen to recordings from pipe organs around the world, and attend organ concerts.

Have a passion for playing the instrument, because if you pursue this field, you might need to supplement your modest income.”

Jordan also has some thoughts about how to popularize organ music among youth.

“Exposure to organ music would be a good start, including listening to recordings. Re-instituting daily music programs in the schools from kindergarten through high school would help create an interest in quality music,” Jordan said.

If children are raised in an environment that includes music, there will come a desire to hear and participate in all kinds of music, including the organ — the king of instruments, Jordan said.

“Educators and the public have forgotten the great value of the arts for both individuals and society. Studies indicate that music education is not only good for the soul, but for the brain and well-being. It’s truly something that can be valued and enjoyed for a lifetime.”

Jasper Parsintz, 12, aka Hot Shoot Jazz, wastes a few little green men during the SASS New Mexico State Championship, held this weekend at the Chisum Cowboys Gun Club shooting range just north of Roswell.

Parsintz is from Bovina, Texas, and competes as a “Buckaroo.”

said.

Just like in any Old West town, there is a livery stable, a jail, general store, church and cemetery. For travelers brazen enough to spend the night, accommodations include the No-Tail Hotel, the Trail Kill Café and the Two-Bit Brothel.

And, of course, since this is Roswell, the last and final bay has a flying saucer with little green men as targets.

Every SASS member is required to select a shooting alias representative of a character or profession from the Old West or the western film genre.

For instance, T ravis Boggus, of Moriarty, transforms into “Boggus Deal” when he straps on his pistol holsters.

Boggus said he has been participating in Cowboy Action Shooting for the past nine years and has won two state championships.

So what is Cowboy Action Shooting? Does anybody get killed and then buried on Boot Hill?

Of course not. Safety is the No. 1 priority with SASS members. The only things they wear that are “non-Western” are goggles and earplugs.

According to the SASS website, Cowboy Action Shooting is a multifaceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typi-

cal of those used in the taming of the Old West: single action revolvers, pistol-caliber lever action rifles and old-time shotguns. The shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, “Old West” style. It is a timed sport in which shooters compete for prestige on a course of different shooting stages.

Children as young as 9 can compete as “Buckaroos” shooting smallercaliber weapons after they pass a hunter safety course. Women also compete.

Charlie May, aka John Henry Ledbetter, traveled from Wolfforth, Texas, to compete.

He said he has been shooting for 10 years and has competed in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona.

“I like the competition and the good friends you make,” he said.

The competition is tough, fast-paced, but not cutthroat. Everybody is there to encourage each other to do their best and have fun, May said.

“I spend $700 so I can take home a plaque as big as a paperback book,” May said.

the mall is dead, there’s not much shopping, but that is not unique to Roswell.

There’s shopping malls all over the country that are fading. And I don’t know where it goes. Doesn’t mean we don’t want more shopping, doesn’t mean we don’t want things like restaurants, but we have got to have more population, we have to grow this community and that is part of economic development to try and encourage more employment so more people come here, there’s more people here then there is more demand for retail so it becomes. … We’re not there yet, but we want to go there.

Building on that, could you address the entertainment venues that can’t operate within the city limits such as Way Out West?

I wouldn’t say they can’t.

The only restrictions are that Way Out West has package sales on Sundays.

They decided to locate out there because they’ll make a ton of money, just like that Allsup’s down there that is at the base, they’ll make money because they have package liquor sales on Sunday. There’s a couple of other places in the county that do that. But if you’re not involved in package liquor sales, you’ve got Pecos Flavors Winery, Peppers, they have entertainment in a very cool environment. One of our candidates for city manager came in early and he and his wife were there and they were very impressed, they said, “wow, this is pretty neat.” And they got wine, and some little sandwich platter. At Peppers, they have got their entertainment on the patio, and Farley’s is packed. And that’s a different crowd.

Saturday night I was over at the Anderson Museum for the Rob Rio performance. This coming weekend, yours truly is the narrator for the symphony kickoff thing on Labor Day at the zoo. I would argue that we have a very eclectic mix that offers opportunities for people with different perspectives on life.

And not everyone is going to want to go to the symphony, but you know

what? I am past the point of going to Way Out West or Farley’s. Maybe 30 years ago, yeah.

Talking about pushing Way Out West out of the city limits, it looks like the city is doing the same thing with the oil rental business?

(Laughing) You mean the water truck company?

Okay, I am in an awkward position here. Let me explain. Planning and Zoning Commission votes two nights ago. Mr. Shepard came to city hall the next day and filed a for mal appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission decision to the entire City Council. That appeal will be heard on Sept. 11. I am the presiding officer of the City Council and will be meeting in what is referred to as a quasi-judicial body. As such, we will be in a hearing, we will receive evidence, hear evidence, we will be required to act upon what is presented to us and reach a decision as whether to sustain the Planning and Zoning Commission vote or over turn it. So in that particular matter, I will be functioning as a judge. So I will have to approach that (question) with a lot less candor than I can a whole lot of issues because I am not just the mayor, but I am a hearing officer. It’s not a role I expected when I ran for mayor, but it’s not a role I am not comfortable with because I have been in the courtroom with a lot of excellent judges.

How many city vehicles are there and how many city employees are allowed to take a vehicle home?

I don’t know the numbers of city vehicles, the ones I know that can take home their vehicles are the police. There may be others, I just don’t know. I know the police take them home, there’s reasons for that. Police get to take home their marked units and they are allowed to use them to run some errands, they can go to the grocery store in their police unit.

The requirement is that they must have their badge, gun, credentials, and must be prepared to respond to a felony if they see one. The intention is to just put more police vehicles on the street because you can’t tell if that’s a guy going to Far mer’s to go

GENERAL

shopping or if that’s a man on patrol.

If a city employee is authorized to take a vehicle home, does he or she reimburse the city a certain percentage of the monthly vehicle costs?

No, because it is benefiting the city to have the police take the vehicles home. And the detectives have a vehicle so they can be ready to respond. That way they don’t have to drive to city hall, pick up the vehicle, to go out to a call. A year ago when I was a detective over at the sheriff’s office, I took a vehicle home. Now I could not use it, I had to park it and leave it — the sheriff’s office is different than the city. But it was there to respond to calls. There are restrictions on the use of a city vehicle.

You can use it to go shopping, but you can’t buy any alcohol. You can’t even buy a package. No beer runs.

Does the police department have a new public information officer?

They’ve hired a guy but I don’t think he’s here yet, and I forget the name.

Talking about the PIO, how about the city marketing director?

Renee Roach submitted her resignation, the whole marketing director position, I have had some discussions with economic development and the Chamber and some other folks, how do we actually craft that position? What does it really need to look like? What does it do? It should be complimentary to these other economic development organizations, but not duplicitous. I’m hesitant to go too far down that road, because that is a huge issue for the new city manager. We need to take a look at how we structure that.

Do we need more of a PIO person for the city? Is there enough work for a separate PIO for the city? Do we need to pull in the police department PIO? I don’t know. We need to sit down and really figure that out.

It looks like most of the work has been pushed onto the support services person?

Until we figure out what we’re going to do in the new administration with the new city manager probably so. That’s not a satisfactory answer — I recognize that. I

have strived to be as accessible to the media as possible, whether it’s you guys, TV, or Richard over at the radio station. But I know I can’t really fulfill what you need. You need a PIO and what do we do about the marketing? What do we do about focusing the David Hayduk (the city’s advertising consultant) contract?

Who supervises that contract? Who defines what needs to be done? We’re not there yet but we need to get there.

How are the Yucca Recreation Center workshops going?

Councilor Tabitha Denny is the Parks & Recreation chair, and I asked and she agreed to take a leadership role to try and find out what do we want to do with the Yucca Center. We’ve actually got, in reality, four options. And we, as a community, need to decide what we are going to do.

Option number one is to keep on keeping on — just keep doing what we’re doing, patching what we can, repairing here and there, trying to function as best we can. Number two is close the building down and try to make use of other facilities in the community, school district gyms and things like that.

Option number three is to do a complete upgrade, in other words go in and bring the building up to — and I am picking a number here — a 20-year useful life. Do all the changes you need to do to the existing structure.

Number four, build a new recreation center. If we do number four, there are some other questions that need to be resolved, like how big, and where, and when, but those are the four fundamental options on the Yucca Center. My approach on stuff like this is, we need to gather a lot of data and get some solid facts, and we need as a council and as a community to make a serious and sober decision on what we

want to do. I don’t know where that is at right now, but that’s where we’re heading to. We need to have an analysis, a fullblown serious engineering analysis of the current structure. How bad is it?

What does it really need?

And that needs to be presented and worked on.

We need to have staf f look at it and gather up what is the square foot cost. Here’s a question for you, if we wanted to replace it, how big would we make it? The current Yucca has, if I remember correctly, about 40,000 square feet.

However, how much of that space is truly usable footage? How much of that is stairwells? How much of it is large rooms, when you don’t really need large rooms? Do you need to have stuff where you can run a temporary room divider type thing rather than have one large room?

Could you have a smaller structure with in fact more usable space? And a smaller structure that would have lesser heating and cooling costs? I don’t know the answers, but those are the questions I want to get answers for.

Why does Roswell have so many city employees? Is it because of the city’s aging infrastructure?

That’s an interesting question. We’ve had, as you know, a number of city manager candidates in town, and we’ve had some comments. “You seem to have a lot of employees.”

OK. Let’s examine it. That is going to be one of the issues for the new city manager. Do we have an appropriate-sized workforce? Is the workforce properly distributed? In other words, one guy was from a town about the same size, smaller workforce, but his police force was smaller, significantly — about 20 officers smaller.

We’re even saying we don’t have enough police officers.

So, do we have different

needs? This is a comprehensive type of serious review that will come with this type of city manager, and it needs to happen.

There are complaints that residents are being cited for overgrown weeds while weeds can be seen on city properties and in alleys.

What effort is the city making to control weeds on its properties and right of ways? Is the city going to cite itself?

We’ve got crews out working and we are trying to take care of it, and the intention is to encourage others to do the same.

We’ve had people, elderly people call and say, “I can’t do it,” had a lady call and one of the local churches sent out a crew of five guys and they cut this lady’s weeds. The intention is not to fine people, not trying to do this as a revenue generator — the objective is, “clean it up, please.” Just cut the weeds. I am out in my alley at my house spraying Roundup to kill the weeds, mowing the lawn, just do that, just take care of it. The city’s trying to do the same thing.

If someone is elderly and needs help with their weeds, can they call the city for help?

We’re trying to — that is something we’re striving to do. We would like for them to reach out on their own, but if they don’t know anybody else they can call, then we’ll give it a shot.

We’re really not interested in writing tickets and collecting fines. What we’re interested in is cleaning up the community. There is a reason for that. I mean, what lives in overgrown brush? Rodents and roaches. It’s a health issue. You don’t want that in the house next door. I had a father and adult son come to see me a week and a half ago, complaining about a neighbor’s property.

Editor confesses sordid tale of driving beater cars

Hell finally did freeze over. After 14 years and nearly 180,000 miles on my black Chevy S10, I replaced it a little more than a week ago with a new car.

I am now the proud owner of an “alien green” 2013 Hyundai Accent with a hatchback and a sunroof.

Though the car was put on the road in July 2012, it had just under 2,200 miles when I bought it, so it is practically like new.

The engine and five-speed transmission still work great in the S10, but it has a myriad of problems, like the driver’s side door not closing tight, the “Check Engine Light” staying on all the time, the brake light and ABS lights coming on intermittently and worn shocks and bushings.

The front brake pad linings look thin, not to mention the AC no longer works and the tires are nearly bald.

TIMOTHY HOWSARE RIPCORD INTO REALITY

I have to confess I have severely neglected routine maintenance on the truck. It’s been at least a year since I’ve had the oil changed and I can’t remember the last time I replaced the fuel and air filters.

Despite my neglect in its twilight years, the truck has never broken down and always starts.

The only expensive part under the hood I’ve had to replace was the alternator.

I have had a pattern throughout my living of buying a car and then driving it into the ground.

Maybe it has to do with being a musician. We tend to be bohemians and not think like normal people who buy a car, drive it for three or four years and then trade it in on a new one.

I have never made car payments in my life. If I ever did have to finance a car, I’m sure I’d have to pay 37 percent interest because I don’t exist in the databases of the finance companies.

I won’t go as far back to high school to tell you my history of driving beater cars. Otherwise, this column would be three pages long. I’ll just go back to 1991, when I bought the 1973 Chrysler New Yorker, aka the Bluesmobile — named in homage to the 1974 Dodge Monaco driven in the Blues Brothers movie.

As I recall, the car had around 72,000 miles and I paid $1,100 or $1,200 for it.

This was a great car for a working musician. Unless I was using

Roswell Daily Record

a real drummer instead of a drum machine, I could get my entire band and all of our equipment in that thing.

The Bluesmobile was a 6,600pound beast with a 440-cubicinch engine fed by a Holley fourbarrel carburetor.

A mechanic told me that as a “fuel-saving feature,” most of the time the engine ran on only two barrels. The other two would only kick in when you punched it or were climbing a hill. Fuel economy with a 440? That car got 12 mph on the highway on a good day.

It’s model year, 1973, was the very first for Chrysler Corporation’s electronic ignition. It was actually the first year for the entire automotive industry, with other manufacturers following in the subsequent years.

Apparently, because the electronic systems in the ‘73s were so new, they were riddled with bugs.

Big, nasty bugs.

I probably burned up 10 voltage regulators and a few alternators and coils to boot.

After taking it to several “real” shops to remedy the problem with no success, I finally heard about this gonzo mechanic in the Tucson barrio who had a knack for fixing problems that befuddled mechanics at the dealerships of high-end European luxury cars.

And he charged a whole heck of a lot less.

It took him five minutes to come up with a solution: Replace the original distributor with a rebuilt distributor from a 1972 Dodge Fury, which had standard ignition.

Yes, doing engine tune ups with points and condensers is a big hassle, but it was a relief to not have to worry when the car would die and I’d have to call AAA —

EDITORIAL

Militarized police forces changing perceptions When the idea behind SWAT teams first began forming among police departments in the mid-1960s, the thought was to create a force capable of responding to situations where the potential risks were beyond the capabilities of lightly-equipped patrol officers.

However, the use of Special Weapons and Tactics, also known as SWAT, is becoming more of a common occurrence among rankand-file officers, along with their elite counterparts. Turning ordinary beat cops into a heavily-armed reactive force, rather than a proactive one, is worrisome.

The Department of Defense’s 1033 program, which provides military-grade weapons and other equipment to local police departments out of surplus military stocks, along with a slew of grants and funding methods, is only compounding the problem.

The program has received criticism following the controversial displays of military-esque force following rioting in response to the officer-involved shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. St. Louis County police departments, it was discovered, had benefited from the Defense Department’s surplus hardware.

According to documents related to the 1033 program obtained by the New York Times, the police around Ferguson are not the only ones that have benefited from the program.

As the Register recently reported, law enforcement agencies in Orange County have received military-grade weapons and other equipment.

Those items include laptops, printers and exercise equipment, as well as “359 assault rifles, 257 pieces of body ar mor, two armored vehicles and one helicopter,” the Register reported.

“Items received through the program ... enabled us to have equipment we could not have otherwise afforded,” Jeff Hallock, spokesman for the O.C. Sheriff’s Department, told the Register. Huntington Beach, Santa Ana and Anaheim have also received equipment through grants, the Register wrote.

Certainly, officer safety should be a paramount concern, and law enforcement agencies should be equipped with the best equipment available. But increasingly militarized police forces are changing the public perception of law enforcement agencies and, potentially, how police forces perceive themselves.

In some areas, the beat-walking peacekeeper is gone.

That image has been replaced by that of a heavily-armed enforcer. Further, the proliferation of military-grade equipment increases the likelihood of its use, overuse and, most importantly, its misuse by law enforcement.

Some thoughts on labor in the USA

Blue collar, white collar, it doesn’t matter. They’re both collars.

I’m referring, of course, to the workplace, where so many of us are little more than dogs on a leash, going only as far as our masters will let us, digging holes in the yard to bury the bones they throw us.

Of course, that’s a pretty dark perspective on labor in the USA, but it’s the way a lot of people view their jobs. And while it’s unfortunate, it’s also understandable, given the state of working for a living nowadays.

Despite a slow but prolonged uptick in the U.S. economy since the dark days of the Great Recession, for a large number of American households there’s been no real recovery.

According to Sentier Research Group, a Marylandbased data analysis company, median household income has dropped 4.4 percent since 2009, when the nation started pulling itself out of the recession. For many Americans, long-term unemployment and falling or stagnant wages remain, so while there may be

TOM MCDONALD GUEST COLUMNIST

a bit more job security in the private sector now, money is tighter for working Americans — and polls indicate there’s not a lot of optimism that anything is going to change for the better anytime soon.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics placed New Mexico 36th in a state-by-state comparison of July unemployment rates; in this “land of entrapment” as some naysayers call it, our most recent jobless rate stands at 6.6 percent, a little better than the national rate of 6.2 percent but, still, nothing to brag about.

Since the fourth quarter of 2012, our state’s unemployment rate has hovered at or below 7 percent, meaning that 60,000 to 65,000 New Mexicans seeking jobs have been unable to find them. That’s a fairly large segment of this state’s roughly 1 million-per-

son workforce.

For New Mexicans in such circumstances, a new plant like Tesla’s planned batterymaking factory could become the difference between prosperity and poverty. As has been widely reported for months now, the electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors is looking for a place to build its $5 billion gigafactory and New Mexico is in the running for it.

A factory that size would create a tremendous boost to the state’s economy, and not just because of the 6,500 manufacturing jobs it would reportedly create. There’s also the “multiplier effect” — spinoff economic activity that follows new job creation. Economists use various “multipliers” to determine how many additional jobs are created by such a ripple effect, but they all seem to agree that manufacturing has one of the biggest impacts on overall economic growth.

Tesla is considering four other western states for its battery plant, so the odds aren’t favorable for New Mexico to win it. What’s more, manufacturing isn’t one of our

strong suits. More of our jobs come from other industries, including oil and gas, mining, technology and — of course — government.

Our economic dependence on government is a mixed bag.

The federal gover nment, which operates air bases, testing grounds, labs and more all over the state, is a welcome addition to our state economy.

But we’ve also got a bloated state government, designed in part to serve our lower-income citizenry. Not much of a multiplier effect there. What’s more, we’ve nurtured a misguided perception that government, more than private enterprise, is the path to financial security and prosperity.

That must have been a factor in Gov. Susana Martinez’s decision to re-impose work requirements for some who currently qualify for food stamps. More people, she’s saying by her administrative actions, need to put out an effort to stand on their own two feet.

However, there’s merit to the argument that if someone

Here are a few simple steps to lower cancer risk REPRINTED FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

DEAR DOCTOR K: Is it possible to prevent, or at least reduce, your risk of cancer?

DEAR READER: Absolutely, it is. It is possible both to reduce the risk that your cells will tur n cancerous, and to catch cancer early and prevent it from causing suffering. But first let’s define some terms.

What does it mean to say that a “cell turns cancerous”? Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth. Most cells “grow” not by becoming larger, but from divid-

ASK DR. K UNITED MEDIA SYNDICATE

ing. (An exception: Fat cells grow not only by dividing, but also by becoming larger.) One cell becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and so on.

Most cells should periodically divide, but in a con-

trolled fashion. For example, as old cells die, they need to be replaced. But that process of replacing old cells is carefully controlled.

When a cell turns cancerous, growth is not controlled. In most cancers, the uncontrolled growth first causes a mass of cells a tumor. (With cancers of blood cells, there is no — tumor mass because blood cells don’t stick together.)

The cells in the tumor then can spread, typically through the blood, to other parts of the body.

You can reduce the risk of cells turning cancerous with lifestyle changes.

STOP SMOKING. Exposure to tobacco smoke (including secondhand smoke) — from cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products — increases the risk of lung cancer. Smoking also boosts your chances of developing cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and colon. If you smoke, ask your doctor about quit-smoking programs.

MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT. Overweight and

obesity increase the risk for many types of cancer.

These include breast cancer (in postmenopausal women) and cancers of the colon, rectum, endometrium, esophagus, pancreas and kidneys. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight.

EAT A HEALTHY DIET. People who eat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (particularly broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower and tomatoes) have lower rates of cancer. So do people who eat relatively little meat

See McDONALD, Page A5

(particularly processed and cured meats, such as bacon, sausage and cold cuts).

That said, don’t focus on any single food or group of foods. It’s an overall healthy diet that counts.

EXERCISE REGULARLY. Exercise is yet another way to reduce your cancer risk.

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, most days of the week.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN. Skin cancer is one of the most com-

The wisdom to know the difference OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

Who is the wisest person you know? How did they get wise?

Are you wise? Why do you say this?

Life keeps coming at us ... and it doesn’t slow down. As we navigate through this world, our lives become the result of a constant flow of choices. I am not sure how any of us could count the number of choices we have each day, so I will say the choices we make daily are countless.

From when we first wake up to when we try to go to sleep, we control our own destiny each day. No one can make me get out of bed, I choose to get out.

No one can make me go to the office, I choose to do so. No one can make me be kind to my wife, I choose to do so.

Ther e ar e default choices, impulsive choices, anxious choices, sleepless choices, insecure choices, confident choices, life changing choices, well thought through choices, and so on. I think you get the idea.

Some choices are easier than others. Whether to eat lunch is a no brainer, but whether to pur chase a new home raises stress. Taking a shower becomes routine, but working on a broken relationship takes energy.

There are many things out there that are beyond our control. There are many things that are within our control. Then

RICK KRAFT

JUST A THOUGHT

there are things that land in the middle.

A man named Reinhold Niebuhr probably means nothing to the average American.

But he “nailed” it when he wrote what was to become known as the Serenity Prayer. Dr. Niebuhr lived from 1892 to 1971. In his lifetime he was an American theologian, an ethicist, a political commentator, and a minister.

He was also a pr ofessor at Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan, New York, for over 30 years.

He is credited with penning what we call the Serenity Prayer.

Its earliest version dates back to 1937. The complete Serenity Prayer contains more lines than the popular one that is most often quoted today.

The full version reads as follows: “God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.

“Living one day at a time;

enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. T rusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.”

The simple and most common version of the prayer ends after the first sentence.

The most important action word in the prayer is the word “wisdom.” It is clear that there are things that we must accept, yet we should live our lives seeking to bring about change.

Wisdom is a characteristic that is much in demand. Some days I wonder where it is hiding!

It is often underrated. It is badly needed internationally, nationally, locally, and in each of our heads.

Wisdom is the correct use of knowledge. Knowledge can help a person be wiser, but knowledge without wisdom may still lead to poor decisions.

Wisdom determines what happens in our world. It determines success and failure, it deter mines quality of life, it determines longevity, it determines whether or not any of us will change the world with the life we live.

How do we get wisdom? The

Sunday, August 31, 2014

number of years living on this planet is one source. After five decades of life, I am the wisest I have ever been today ... much wiser for sure than when I was 18. Experiences can make us wiser. Experiences don’t necessarily cause us to make good decisions, but they do give us more data upon which to make our next decision.

Interesting enough, many life impacting decisions are made when we are young. Before age 25, most individuals determine who they hope to be their lifetime spouse, their career path, where they want to live, how they are going to parent, and so on. I like the concept that life should be lived backwards. We would start our lives full of wisdom so we could make significant decisions at that time.

Then we would get younger after making wise choices.

If you pulled out a blank piece of paper and wrote at the top “Things I can’t change,” it would be interesting to see what you would come up with. With a little brainstor ming your page could be filled quickly. If you took out a second piece of paper and wrote at the top, “Things I may be able to change,” I think this page could be filled very quickly also.

As you make your lists there will be some items that you may hesitate to write on one sheet or

A5

the other. These areas fall into a gray area where the Serenity Prayer applies.

My challenge to you is to live a life that is filled with wisdom.

Good decisions are always better than bad decisions. Sometimes before a decision is made there is not a clear division between what is good and what is not good.

Sometimes we think we can change things we can’t.

Sometimes we give up on changing things we need to be changing. Here is where wisdom is critical.

James 1:5 in the New Testament of the Bible tells us “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you (NIV).” Do you ever pray for wisdom? How important is wisdom in your world?

May you accept what you cannot change, change what you can, and have the wisdom to tell the difference.

Just a thought.

The green monster that is the EPA

Thanks, Environmental Protection Agency! You’ve required sewage treatment plants, catalytic converters on cars and other things that made the world cleaner than the world in which I grew up. Good work.

Today, America’s waterways are so much cleaner that I swim in New York City’s once-filthy Hudson River — right beside skyscrapers in which millions of people, uh, flush. The air we breathe is also cleaner than it’s been for 60 years.

In a rational world, environmental bureaucrats would now say, “Mission accomplished. We set tough standards, so we don’t need to keep doing more.

Stick a fork in it! We’re done.”

OK, I went too far. America does still need some bureaucrats to enforce existing environmental rules and watch for new pollution problems. But we don’t need what we’ve got: 16,000 environmental reg-

But bureaucracies never say they’ve done “enough.”

fy any benefits” from additional regulation, says Case Western Reserve law professor Jonathan Adler. “If we are serious about dealing with climate change, we need to reduce per capita emissions of carbon dioxide to the level they were during the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War.” That reduction in our industrial capacity would be one of the worst costs the human race had ever suffered, all for tiny benefits. Even if we did everything the environmentalists want, the regulators admit it might only lower temperatures a fraction of a degree, a century from now.

By that time, we will have cheaper ways of dealing with the problem, if it is a problem. But government rarely pays attention to costs versus benefits.

Today, instead of environmental regulations that actually save lives, we pay

to subsidize politicians’ cronies and pet projects, such as electric cars.

Voters rarely object to such deals, says David Harsanyi of The Federalist, because government hides their real costs. “If people actually paid what a Chevy Volt cost to make, it would probably be around $200,000. Without government — essentially, government cronyism and all kinds of subsidies — the Volt wouldn’t exist.”

He says Chevy, even with its government subsidies, loses about $49,000 on every Volt it builds. It’s ironic that, as environmentalists talk about “sustainability,” they create totally unsustainable subsidy schemes.

Still, we all need to work at something. It’s good to be a productive citizen. I just wish more people could create their own livelihood rather than depending on the government, or even some far-

important technological advances ahead that will make energy use more efficient — and make the environment cleaner, sometimes as an unintended side effect. But I don’t trust gover nment to pick the technologies.

Why should we think gover nment’s ideas for cleaning the environment are on the cutting edge? As Harsanyi points out, windmills, one of environmentalists’ favorite ideas and biggest subsidy-recipients, “have been around since the Middle Ages.”

There will be a better way. Government probably won’t find it.

nies that actually have some innovation that might work better.”

Since people rarely question spending that supposedly is “good for the environment, green subsidies create opportunity for corruption,” Harsanyi says.

“The people who lobby and have the closest ties to government are typically the ones who benefit from the subsidies the government gives.”

Close associates of President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, former Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and for mer Vice President Al Gore all benefited from well-timed investments in green companies that got a leg up from government subsidies and regulations.

Unfortunately, green companies often do poorly even with gover nment assistance, as was the case with solar panel maker Solyndra.

The Bluesmobile ran great for two or three years after that and — unlike the movie car that fell apart as soon as Jake and Elwood accomplished their “mission from God” — died a slow death.

I sold it for $200 to a guy who wanted to replace the engine in his Dodge Ram work truck. With a million miles on the truck, he said the 383 block was “tired” and was excited to replace it with a 440 block.

Just as the Bluesmobile was fading into the sunset, my current boss offered to sell me one of his three cars, a 1987 SAAB 900SE, for what he owed on it — $2,300.

Though I immediately had to replace the brakes and shocks, this car, made in Sweden several years before GM bought the company, was a steal at $2,300.

Back in those days SAABs had funny, wedged-shaped bodies as the company also manufactured aircraft and would build the passenger compartments of their cars as if they were small airplane fuselages.

Mine was silver and had a funny-shaped body, but since it was part of a limited-edition aeropackage, it had fins, spoilers and air dams that made it look like some sort of European stock car.

It was a head turner.

Everything on it was high performance with the exception of a turbo charger.

It had a 2-liter, 16-valve, dualoverhead cam motor that put out 125 horsepower.

It had a sports suspension with anti-sway bars front and back.

For lack of a better term, it had “posi-track” front-wheel drive.

While other front-wheel drive cars would slip and slide around on snow and mud, the SAAB would stick to the road like a fly to the ceiling.

It had a five-speed manual transmission that was meant

There was very little travel in the shifter from one gear to the other, and the clutch was supertouchy. If you didn’t shift in just the right spot, you stalled out.

The advantage, of course, is once you tamed this wild bronco you could shift through all five gears like a jackrabbit on a date.

More than any car I’ve every owned, the SAAB brought out my “inner motorhead.”

Once from a stoplight in Scottsdale I drag raced a Porsche Carrera.

The SAAB, with its ferocious low-end torque, was bumper to bumper with the Porsche until third gear, when the jumbo horsepower of the Porsche finally left me in the dust.

One night starting at 3 a.m., I drove from the Phoenix valley to Pinetop-Lakeside, Ariz. Normally, this trip would take 3 ½ hours.

But without any traffic to contend with, I made the drive in 2 ½ hours. I thought something was wrong with my watch.

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico voters will be casting ballots this November on new machines that have raised concerns among a legislative agency and some county clerks.

The voting machines, which cost nearly $12 million to buy and set up, will make their debut in the Nov. 4 general election, the Albuquerque Journal reported Friday. Clerks in all 33 counties have been thoroughly trained in their use, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.

“Our office is confident that there is an adequate plan in place for election night,” Ken Ortiz, the secretary of state’s chief of staff, said in an email.

Broken odometer. Dash lights didn’t work. Stereo died.

This is pretty much what has happened to my S10, although everything still works on the dash and the stereo still sounds great.

So how did I find the green Hyundai Accent, the car worthy enough to follow such a prestigious lineage of premier motor vehicles?

I attend St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, and on the second Sunday in July I saw it in the parking lot when I arrived at church.

New cars usually don’t catch my eye because they all look the same to me. Toyota Corolla?

Honda Civic? Ford Focus? Same difference. I only stop and look if it’s a ‘68 Mustang or a ‘72 Barracuda with a 383 hemi and a Hurst four-on-the-floor.

But when I saw the Hyundai, my reaction was, “Wow! What a cute little car!”

After the service, I went into the fellowship hall for coffee and

snacks with the rest of the congregation, and there was an ad to sell the car posted on the bulletin board.

I didn’t think much about it at the time. I saw the ad the next Sunday and didn’t give it much thought that day, either.

I missed services two Sundays in a row (attended a different church on Sunday and a slacker on another). But on the fifth Sunday, the ad was still up.

After church, as I was driving to the newspaper office with no AC in the 1 p.m. heat, I started to think what it would cost to replace my tires, fix the front end, replace the shocks, get the AC to work, etc., etc. I realized it wasn’t worth spending the money.

After I finished my work at the newspaper, I drove back to the church and took a picture of the ad with my smartphone.

I called the number. The sellers were members of my church who manage a mobile home park for retirees not far from the paper.

They were selling it on behalf of the family of a woman who owned the car and lived in the park. She had passed away on July 2.

With only 2,150, it was a “little old lady who only drives it to WalMart on Friday mornings to go shopping” car.

With the sunroof, hatchback and 16-inch alloy wheels, I was surprised at how sporty it is for an “old lady car.” I suppose there are women of a “certain age” who drive Dodge Vipers and Lamborghinis. Who am I to judge?

Since I truly believe that God brought me to this car for a very good price of $15,500 and I have been blessed since moving to Roswell, I decided to give back to God. I have donated the S10 to a church, whose “shade tree mechanics” will fix it up for the cost of parts and donate it to a worthy member.

I hope and pray that its new owner will find the truck, with its faded jet-black cap, as useful as I did. It’s been like the “Little Engine That Could.”

I even brought a new pair of black fuzzy dice and hung them on the rear-view mirror to christen it in its new life.

But, he noted, some clerks said the machines that got a tryout in some counties during the June primary were received positively.

The state will be using four different models of the machines. Each county received a certain number based on their requests and the kind of polling places they have, Ortiz said. Voters will feed their paper ballots into the machines, which have bigger screens to make it easier to tell if a ballot was successfully submitted.

that’s a little bit tough. I wound up driving by, and saw the place and the guy they were talking about.

Their place looked pretty darn good. It looked just as good as any house in my neighborhood, you know?

Cleaned up, yard mowed, house taken care of. House next door? Was a dump.

Trash, overgrown weeds, and they’re talking about stuff coming into their yard from this house. And they have tried to help these people, but they’ve chosen not to respond. So something needs to happen.

Realize if you don’t clean up your own house, it’s not just your house that is af fected. It af fects your neighbors. Let’s respect each other. Clean up your property.

Has the city issued any citations for standing water?

I don’t believe we issue citations for standing water, but I know there is water out there. The mud run had some mud they hadn’t planned because of

the rain. I think we have some issues with mosquitoes, but we don’t have mosquito abatement resources in the city, we contract with the county to do it, so I am a little bit ignorant about that. I’ll be candid with you, and this might get me in trouble, I will take the challenges that weeds and mosquitoes offer in exchange for the rain. I’ll take that any day of the week. I am thankful for the rain. Extremely thankful.

Question from Facebook and email: Why can’t a city the size of Roswell have a humane system to handle the lost or stray animals?

We have one. We’ve hired a replacement animal control of ficer, we’re in the process to try and hire an additional animal control officer, and we’ve expanded the hours during the week to 6 o’clock in the evening, added weekend hours to encourage adoption, to make it easier for people to adopt.

some people out there on the internet and on social media, they’re not interested in facts. They just want to go on a tirade against Roswell. But the reality is we are stepping up the effort to make it easier for folks to get animals. We are clearly establishing what the guidelines are. I think we have nine, possibly 10 rescue groups that we have letters of understanding and agreement with. There are some questions about some of the transportation of ficers doing the right thing, but that is a minor issue. We have groups that want to take animals. We’re looking at Chief (Phil) Smith’s request that we extend the holding period to eight or nine days for rescue groups, I think what we are going to look at as a council, I’m not sure where Councilor (Jeanine) Best wants to go with this yet, but we are looking at extending it to nine days period. Just make it simple, don’t require some

kind of letter of explanation. … Let’s just say we’re going to hold animals for nine days. With the same concept, days one through four are for the animal owners to reclaim it, days five, six and seven are for new adoption, and after day seven rescue groups can claim it.

Why are there no attempts to hold outside adoption events?

I’ve not heard of that, not familiar with it. That doesn’t mean people on the staff haven’t heard of it, obviously we have professionals over there. But why we’ve not done that, I don’t know, I don’t have an answer for you. I’ve not heard of that concept before. Is that kind of like when car lots go out to the mall and set up off site?

You know, the Humane Society is right next to Animal Control, and the Humane Society will come over and take animals.

They won’t take every animal, they won’t take cer-

tain breeds, but they’ll take a heck of a lot of animals. I don’t know, we’d have to look into it. I don’t know what the resources would require as far as manpower. I don’t know how that would affect our ability to respond to calls for service. But I am not going to tell you I am opposed to it. I just don’t know about it.

Why are animals not seen by a veterinarian when they are sick or injured?

I don’t know that they’re not.

Why has no outside animal shelter expert been hired to evaluate and recommend changes to be implemented?

We’ve got a group working right now, we don’t have an outside group, we’ve got inside staff working on making these changes that I just talked about, they sound like great changes. Sgt. Phil Gonzalez from the police department is overseeing it, working with the estab-

lished staff, I think they’re moving forward. What I am really impressed with too is this new approach to spaying and neutering, where animal control, someone comes in and says, “I want that dog and so-and-so is my vet,” and they prepay for the procedure. Then animal control delivers the dog to the vet.

The procedure is done then people come and get the animal from the vet.

What I am told before is that people were circumventing the spay or neuter requirement by getting the animal and then failing to take it to the veterinarian’s office as they are required to do. Now they cannot get the animal until after the veterinary procedure is done. Another thing I like about it is they get to choose the vet. “I like this vet, the guy gives me a good price,” so it’s whoever they want to go to. I think that is a pretty neat arrangement, to be honest with you.”

Fighter War Machine extradited to Nevada LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mixed martial arts fighter War Machine has been extradited to Las Vegas to face charges he brutally beat his porn star ex-girl-

friend.

The man born Jonathan Koppenhaver was booked early Saturday mor ning into the Clark County jail after waiving extradition in

a Ventura County, California, courtroom following his arrest.

The 32-year-old Koppenhaver is accused of beating Christy Mack and her male

friend at her Las Vegas home on Aug. 8 before fleeing to the Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley, where he was arrested a week later.

A Las Vegas police spokesman says Koppenhaver wasn’t currently available for jailhouse interviews, and it wasn’t immediately clear whether

he had an attorney.

Koppenhaver legally changed his name to War Machine in recent years, but police refer to him by his birth name.

Goddard’s run game blasts Clovis 34-14 Sunday, August 31, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

BY AUSTIN MCNABB SPORTS EDITOR Goddard knew it was going to have to play a fantastic game against Clovis in order to win.

And that’s exactly what they did.

Goddard doubled Clovis in yards, 418209, including 371 yards, to beat the Wildcats 34-14 at the Wool Bowl, Saturday.

Goddard coach Mike Whalen said he thought the win was a result of the team’s performance.

“Hard, tough Goddard football against an excellent team,” Whalen said. “If they didn’t play as hard as they did tonight, I guarantee that score would’ve been opposite.”

Goddard played with tough running the entire game, fighting for extra yardage off hits as well as hitting the Wildcats on defense in a physical game.

Going into the fourth quarter with a 14-7 lead, Whalen had something to say to his team.

“They were tired, beat to a pulp, very physical game,” Whalen said. “And when the fourth quarter started and it comes down to this, I said ‘Who wants it more?’

Section

Roswell Daily Record

and I said ‘Give them the game or you can suck it up and win and it’s your choice.

And I tell you what, that was a tough dagum game.”

Goddard did just that, outscoring the Wildcats 20-7 and getting an interception.

Quarterback Cameron Neff led the team in rushing with 17 carries for 195 yards and a touchdown that came on an 88-yard run in the first quarter with 7:52.

“Doesn’t surprise anybody here,” Whalen said. “Cameron’s an athlete. He’s faster than you think. He ran on the sprint relay team for the track team last year that went to state. He’s got speed and he’s tough.

When we had our nutcrackers in two-adays, he’s one of the hardest hitters we had and they don’t back down from anybody.

They called each other out.”

Neff also threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to running back Dean McDaniel, who got behind the defense in the end zone, with 9:49 left in the second quarter.

McDaniel had 17 carries for 109 yards.

Lukas Gutierrez had nine carries for 67

STAFF REPORT The NMMI Broncos football team stomped the Phoenix Bears 34-7 in the home season opener at Colt Field, Saturday.

NMMI had 445 total yards of offense.

Quarterback Rodney Holcomb went 11 for 19 through the air for 296 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Derrick Walker had 12 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns.

NMMI took a 20-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

It wasn’t until Phoenix’s opening drive of the second half that they scored a touchdown. However, NMMI responded with a four-play, 80-yard touchdown drive.

The Broncos bounced back from a 45-10 loss against Arizona Western.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Texas Tech didn’t have it easy against Central Arkansas, escaping with a small margin of victory and knowledge that there’s plenty to work on.

There were two interceptions by quarterback Davis Webb and far too many penalties — both things Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury said early this week needed to improve from last season.

“Shaky early, just trying to do too much, trying to make every play,” Kingsbury said of Webb. “But to come out and have that many undisciplined penalties and turn the ball over twice and take a safety on the other one which counts as a turnover, it was pretty embarrassing to be honest.”

Webb, who was not made available to reporters after the game, threw for 452 yards and four touchdowns to lead Texas Tech to a 42-35 win over Central Arkansas Saturday night.

The sophomore quarterback also had two interceptions, about a fifth what he threw all last season.

Webb completed 39 of 52 passes and threw TDs of 6, 5 and 70 yards. The 70-yarder early in the fourth quarter was a career high for Webb and receiver Bradley Marquez.

Central Arkansas (0-1) of the Football Championship Subdivision was ahead midway through the second quarter. Once Texas Tech led, the Bears pulled within 42-35 late in the game when backup quarterback Ryan Howard threw an 8-yard TD to Damien Watts.

Taylor Reed threw for 140 yards and scored on a 1yard run for the Bears.

Penn State FG helps beat UCF in an Ireland raucous crowd

DUBLIN (AP) — Penn State won a thrilling season opener with a 36-yard field goal as time expired to defeat the University of Central Florida 26-24 in front of a raucous 55,000-strong crowd in Ireland.

Behind second-half replacement quarterback Justin Holman, the Knights appeared to have scored their own unlikely come-from-behind victory when Holman’s 6-yard touchdown run with 1:13 left put UCF up 24-23.

But Christian Hackenberg — capping a 32-for-47, 454-yard performance — coolly directed a seven-play drive to set up Sam Ficken’s fourth successful field goal as Penn State players stormed the field in joy.

Hackenberg ran eight yards for a first down on a fourth-down play in Penn State’s own half of the field during the final drive.

Saturday’s win was the first for new Penn State coach James Franklin, who declared his pride in a team that wasn’t rattled by the Knights’ go-ahead TD. “There was only a minute or so left in

the game, and I looked across the sideline and there wasn’t doubt in anybody’s eye.

Everybody believed. They believed in Hack.

They believed in Ficken,” said Franklin, who bear-hugged and lifted up his kicker moments after victory.

Penn State players received the Dan Rooney Trophy, a football made of ancient Irish bog wood that was specially commissioned for the game. Cannons blasted blue-and-white streamers and confetti into the air at Dublin’s Croke Park, a stadium that normally hosts Gaelic football matches, not American football games.

Both teams agreed to play a game in Dublin for their own reasons. Penn State was seeking an overseas trip and a bowllike experience for a squad that is barred

by NCAA sanctions from postseason contention until 2016, while UCF — just months before its breakthrough 12-1 season and Top 10 finish in national rankings See IRELAND, Page B3

QB Murphy carries BC past UMass 30-7

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Boston College quarterback Tyler Murphy scampered around Gillette Stadium in his debut with the Eagles and eventually helped them run away from Massachusetts.

Murphy ran for 118 yards and a touchdown, carrying Boston College to a 30-7 victory over the in-state rival Minutemen on Saturday in the season opener for both schools.

Murphy, a graduate transfer who played nine games for Florida last season before missing the final three with a sprained throwing shoulder, also completed 17 of 24 passes for 173 yards and threw for a TD and an interception.

“That’s what the quarterback does,” BC coach Steve Addazio said. “You watch the games throughout the weekend; they make plays and put the team on their back. That’s what the quarterbacks do. You saw a little glimpse of that today.”

The game was billed as the “Battle of the Bay State” and played at the home of the New England Patriots, where Massachusetts will play half of its home schedule this season.

Unlike the NFL team that relies mostly on the arm of QB Tom Brady for its offense, the Eagles pounded the ball on the ground most of the day, rushing for 338 of their 511 total yards.

“We could start to feel they were tired,” Murphy said. “We kept pounding at them and they eventually cracked.”

Blake Frohnapfel completed 9 of 22 passes for 147 yards for the Minutemen, including a 77-yard scoring toss to Tajae Sharpe.

It was coach Mark Whipple’s first game of his second stint at UMass. He coached the Minutemen from 1998-2003 and won a Division 1-AA title his first season.

“I think our defense just wore down,” Whipple said. “Their quarterback was better than ours. He was the player of the game and we didn’t tackle him very well.”

The Eagles broke it open with two long drives on their first two possessions of the second half.

“The message at halftime was to ‘keep pounding, the rock will crack,”’ Addazio said.

“They did exactly what they needed to do in the second half.”

Leading 6-0, BC took the ball to start the second half and marched 75 yards in 13 plays, with Myles Willis’ 1-yard touchdown run capping the drive. Two plays before the run, UMass’ defensive back Jackson Porter was flagged for pass interference in the end zone. The Eagles had five different ball carriers combine for 48 yards.

Midway into the third quarter, BC had a 302-0 edge in net rushing.

Murphy’s 1-yard scoring run capped a 10-play, 52-yard drive that made it 20-0. He connected with Josh Bordner, a QB who was converted to receiver this spring, with a 43yard score on the first play of the fourth.

The Eagles led 6-0 at halftime after field goals from two different kickers. Alex Howell nailed a 44-yarder early in the second quarter and Mike Knoll had a 28-yarder.

Behind Murphy’s nine carries for 92 yards, the Eagles outgained the Minutemen 211-22 on the ground in the opening half.

Neither team had much success through the air in the opening half. BC, which relied on the play of graduated running back Andre Williams — a Heisman Trophy finalist — last season, seemed intent to pound the ball from the start.

The Eagles carried seven times for 51 yards on their opening drive that stalled at UMass’ 29 when Murphy threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-5.

UMass’ best scoring bid in the first came late when Blake Lewis missed a 47-yard field goal attempt.

BC opens Atlantic Coast Conference play on Friday night when it hosts Pittsburgh. The Minutemen host Colorado on Saturday.

Jones scores 3 TDs; UTEP beats UNM 31-24

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Aaron Jones ran for a career-best 237 yards and three touchdowns to lead UTEP to a 31-24 victory over New Mexico in Saturday’s season opener for both teams.

Jones scored his final touchdown with 2:18 remaining to break a 24-all tie after Lobos’ punt returner Dameon Gamblin muffed a punt at the 6-yard line.

The Miners built a 24-7 halftime lead behind two of Jones’ scores, including a 73yarder.

“It was fun,” said Jones, who was briefly recruited by New Mexico.

“When you’re clicking on high cylinders, everything is fun. When you get the win, it’s fun.”

And it’s especially fun to foil the Lobos, he said.

“They called me and told me my senior year that they were going to do an in-home visit and they never showed up,” Jones said.

“They called and told me when they were coming, my mom cooked and they never showed up. So I have to take it to them.”

Although the Miners used a revamped offensive line, they were able to pile up the yardage on the ground, especially in the first half when they compiled 227 of their 330 rushing yards.

“I was very proud of the young offensive line,” said head coach Sean Kugler. “Four guys that never started before. That was their first game as collegiate players and they got it after it. They played physical like we expected them to play.”

“And it helped to have a back like Jones to burst through the holes,” he said.

“I think he’s a special back,” Kugler added.

New Mexico rallied in the second half behind quarterback Cole Gautsche, who ran for a career-best 184 yards and two touchdowns. But he went out with an injury, pulling up lame on a 33-yard run in the fourth quarter.

The Lobos’ defense came up with a stop on fourth and goal from the 1 before Gautsche’s carry took them to midfield. New Mexico finished off the drive with a 35-yard field goal from Zack Rogers to tie it at 24.

But New Mexico turned it over in its last three possessions in the final six minutes of the game.

“They made some big plays,” Kugler said of his defense. “When the game was in the balance, they made sacks, made the interception. It was a true team win. Special teams came up with a huge play at the end of the game to give us the ball in enemy territory and the offense pounded it in.”

But the coach said he felt the team was going to come through.

“Even when New Mexico started getting the momentum there in the fourth quarter, looking around the sidelines, everybody’s eyes were focused,” Kugler said.

“Those kids were not going to lose that game. They were going to find a way to win it.”

Dillashaw successfully defends bantamweight title

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — T.J. Dillashaw successfully defended his bantamweight title with a fifth-round TKO over late fill-in Joe Soto at UFC 177 on Saturday night.

Dillashaw (12-2) was never hurt in his first title defense and playfully toyed with the crowd, sticking out his tongue and raising his hands in the air at one point during the fifth round. Dillashaw later landed a hard kick to the side of the Soto’s head and followed with an equally hard left hand that dropped the challenger, then pounced on Soto and landed several more punches before the fight was stopped at the 2:20 mark.

Dillashaw was originally slated to fight Renan Barao, the man he upset to win the title from in May at UFC 173. But Barao was a late scratch after he fell and hit his head while trying to cut weight on Friday.

With heavy heart, Kuchar hovers around the lead

NORTON, Mass. (AP) — With an orange ribbon on his hat and nine birdies on his card, Matt Kuchar pulled within a shot of the lead Saturday in the Deutsche Bank Championship. Not that he needed a reminder, but a message posted on the scoring table spoke to the emotions involved in this tournament.

Players were offered a chance to donate to a trust fund for the 4-year-old daughter of Lance Bennett, his caddie. Bennett’s wife, Angela, died of a seizure Wednesday.

Kuchar decided to play to raise awareness and get the tour involved in helping the family.

His performance certainly helped.

Ryan Palmer overcame a rocky start for an even-par 71. Jason Day struggled at the end for a 68. They were tied for the lead on the TPC Boston going into the third round of a FedEx Cup playoff event that ends on Labor Day. Kuchar was a shot behind after a 66 that featured six consecutive birdies around the turn.

“You never know how things will work out in the game of golf,” Kuchar said. “But it felt like there’s some fate working, as well. The funeral is coming up and some things that will be difficult. But right now, I feel like there’s some inspiration and some fate working.”

On his bag is Brian Reed, a longtime friend who introduced Kuchar to Bennett several years ago.

Kuchar was overcome by emotion Friday when he saw caddies — and even some players — wearing a black hat with the orange ribbon in honor of Bennett’s wife.

There were times he had a hard time taking the club back.

Saturday was easier, which he attributes to the natural progression of grief.

“Still felt like Angela was on my mind almost every hole, every shot,” Kuchar said.

The next few days might not be easy for anyone. The TPC Boston has a history of yielding low scores. Henrik Stenson won a year ago at 22-under 262, and the worst winning score since it became a FedEx Cup playoff event was 15-under 269.

That seems far off given these conditions — swirling wind and fast greens that get bumpier in the afternoon.

Palmer, who started with a 63, made birdie on his first hole and thought he was off to the races. He followed with a double bogey, a bogey and then tried to hang. A birdie on the final hole put him at 8-under 134.

— was seeking an international showcase.

Hackenberg spoiled a stunning per for mance by Holman, who came on for the second drive of the second half after coach George O’Leary benched the ineffective Pete DiNovo. The redshirt freshman had been 3 of 8 for just 18 yards and gave up a drivekilling sack on his final play.

O’Leary praised both Holman and Hackenberg, describing the Penn State QB as a player that “everybody in the country would like to have.” He expressed bewilderment at DiNovo’s poor play.

“I said at halftime that he’s not moving the chains, I didn’t like the way he was handling things out there. He just seemed to be all over the place,” O’Leary said of

for a career-high 104 yards on 20 carries. The team beat last season’s rushing average by 66 yards.

Marquez had two touchdown catches, grabbing a 27-yarder from Webb about 7 minutes after the first.

The Red Raiders came out after halftime and put together an 11-play scoring drive. Webb found Reginald Davis over the middle on a 5-yard slant to put

yards.

“Dean McDaniel ran tough, real tough tonight,” Whalen said. “Luke, he got in there and acted like a champ. I was so proud of Luke Gutierrez. He took the ball and said, ‘Yes sir.’”

Whalen knew it was going to be a chess match between him and Clovis coach Eric Roanhaus.

“You gotta play and as soon as you play one,

DiNovo.

He said the UCF receivers were consistently open in both halves, but DiNovo too often misfired or hesitated.

“Justin, give him credit,” he said of the replacement quarterback. “He went out there and made the throws. He was the spark plug in the second half offensively.”

Penn State ended the first half up 10-3, but should have been ahead by more as UCF struggled to move the ball at all. Both teams looked jet-lagged in what was the first overseas game in either school’s history.

The Nittany Lions’ opening drive was extended by a roughing-the-kicker penalty, then Hackenberg dropped a 44-yard pass between two defenders to receiver DaeSean Hamilton, who set a Penn State receiving record for freshmen with 11 catches for 165 yards. Zach Zwinak finally

punched the ball in from the 1yard line on his third attempt to put Penn State up 7-0.

A 68-yard kickoff return by Jordan Akins gave UCF the ball on Penn State’s 23, but O’Leary gambled and lost with a 4th down decision to go for it on PSU’s 1yard line. DiNovo’s rollout straight into a pass rush ended with a throwaway.

UCF cornerback Jacoby Glenn made a diving interception on Hackenberg’s next possession, but the Knights could manage only a 36-yard Shawn Mof fitt field goal to make the score 10-3.

The game tempo accelerated as soon as Holman entered the game. He ran for two touchdowns, the first a one-yard plunge to pull UCF within 13-10 with 2:39 left in the third quarter.

And he threw for a third, a 10yard bullet to Josh Reese with 11:31 left that narrowed Penn State’s lead to 20-17.

Between those two UCF scores, Hattenberg pulled off the longest play of the game. On 3rd and 17 deep in his own half, he lobbed a bomb to Geno Lewis, who had gotten behind three defenders and ran untouched for a 79-yard TD. The start of the fourth quarter featured a rat-a-tat three turnovers in 52 seconds.

Hackenberg, rolling right and under pressure from defensive tackle Demetris Anderson, saw his pass picked off on the UCF 39-yard line by cornerback Jordan Ozerities.

On the very next play Holman suffered his only miscue, failing to keep hold of the ball during a play-action move. Defensive tackle Anthony Zettel recovered.

Two plays later, Chris Godwin took a bubble-screen pass and got hit hard by two defenders, particularly Glenn, whose lowshoulder tackle popped the ball

Texas Tech up 28-16.

Webb hit Bradley Marquez on a crossing route and he scampered along the near sideline for a 70-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to put the Red Raiders up 35-21.

Kingsbury said the team fell short of his expectations.

“Just disappointed because I know how good they can be and to come out and play like that,” he said.

The Bears kept plugging, scoring after each of the Red Raiders touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

“We thought we had a great chance to win the football game,” Bears coach Steve Campbell said. “You don’t play that hard if you don’t think you have a chance to win.”

Reed said Texas Tech’s defense had quickness.

“But as we started to get drives going, I think we tried to get the tempo up a little bit and caught them off guard so they wouldn’t get set,” he said.

Early in the week, Kingsbury said his goals for the game were to reduce penalties and turnovers. Last season the Red

Raiders had 18 interceptions (113th in nation) and the team lost 15 fumbles (116th).

Webb, who had nine interceptions in 10 games last season, had two before halftime. Both picks seemed to come on plays where Webb forced the pass.

Both picks led to scores for the Bears.

Texas Tech finished with 114 yards on 15 penalties; last year they averaged eight penalites and 75.2 yards per game.

Webb’s first pick came on first down at the Bears 11-yard line.

Webb rolled to left and tried to

Coach Roanhaus is gonna kill you on the other,” Whalen said. “So we had to choose which evil we wanted to give up at the time.

There’s certain things that I could do at certain times on certain plays. So the main thing is take away the run first and then when I thought I had them in a position where he could pass I could cheat a little and I did and I got away with it. The kids just stepped and performed perfect on the defense.”

Clovis put up 100 yards on the ground, 104 coming

from running back Juan San Juan, but Goddard held the passing game to 109 yards from Daulton Hatley, forcing him to throw two interceptions that were stolen by Adam Gomez and Ricky Roybal from Wildcat receivers.

Whalen said it wasn’t just individual players who impressed him, but all who played.

“Everybody that was on the field tonight played as hard as they could and as tough as they could,” Whalen said. “I’m just extremely proud of them.”

QB Kessler, USC dominate Fresno State 52-13 at home

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cody Kessler threw for 394 yards and four touchdowns and No. 15 Southern California ended a trying week with a 52-13 win over Fresno State in Steve Sarkisian’s debut as the Trojans’ head coach.

The Trojans ran a schooland Pac-12 record 105 plays while racking up 37 first downs and 702 yards of total offense to Fresno State’s 16 first downs and 315 yards.

In all, 10 different Trojans caught passes in Sarkisian’s up-tempo offense.

For USC, the victory comes at the end of a distracting week for Sarkisian, punctuated by a tale of heroism by suspended defensive captain Josh Shaw that turned out to be a lie. Backup running back Anthony Brown also quit the team and called Sarkisian a racist, an allegation the coach and other players vehemently denied.

For the Bulldogs, the loss was their third straight in the series to USC. The Trojans scored early

Rams cut Sam, NFL’s first openly gay player Roswell Daily Record

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams have cut Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team.

The seventh-round pick has been outspoken and confident as his progress was watched as closely as any rookie in the league. He has been cheered by athletes and celebrities. In the end, the defensive end couldn’t make a team stocked with passrushers.

Sam still has a chance to get picked up by another team or to make the Rams’ practice squad.

“There will be no challenge, no challenges whatsoever,” for whatever team picks up Sam, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said at a news conference.

“There’s no challenge with respect to Mike Sam,” Fisher said. “He’s not about drawing attention to himself. He kept his head down and worked and you can’t ask anything more out of any player for that matter.”

On Twitter, roughly an hour after he was cut, Sam wrote “The most worthwhile things in life rarely come easy, this is a lesson I’ve always known. The journey continues.”

He also thanked the Rams and city of St. Louis on Twitter, adding that he looks forward to a long and successful career.

Earlier Saturday, he attended Missouri’s opener in Columbia, a 1 1/2-hour drive west on I-70 from Rams Park. He was introduced to the crowd in the end zone alongside defensive E.J. Gaines, a sixth-round pick who made the team.

Sam blew a kiss and waved to the crowd, then walked back to the sideline. He posed for a few pictures then started looking at

his phone and headed for the locker room.

The Rams selected Sam, the SEC co-defensive player of the year at Missouri, with the 249th overall pick out of 256 overall. He kissed his boyfriend as a national television audience looked on, and arrived brimming with confidence and with a quick retort for anyone who contended he was in the NFL only because he came out.

Fisher was proud to have made the landmark pick, but he made clear from the start that he chose Sam because he thought he had the talent to make it.

The cameras followed, but the extra attention did not seem to faze Sam or his teammates. Veteran defensive end Chris Long noted rosters are always made up of players from different backgrounds. Players said Sam was

part of their family.

Fisher called the draft pick a “second historic moment” for a franchise that signed running back Kenny Washington in 1946 as the league’s first black player in the modern era, but he was most interested in describing Sam as a way to upgrade the Rams’ defense. So was general manager Les Snead, who referred to Sam after the draft as a “designated pass rusher.” Sam recognized the challenge, so he shed weight to be faster for special teams duty, reporting at 257 pounds.

After the Rams’ first preseason game, a 26-24 loss to New Orleans, Fisher said Sam played “pretty well” but also made his share of mistakes. Sam, who was credited with one tackle and one quarterback hit in the game, emerged with confidence.

“You know, I can play in this league,” Sam said. “I can play in this league.”

Sam came out following his final season at Missouri, though he had told his teammates before it began. The Tigers went on to tie a school record with 12 wins.

Sam had 11 1/2 sacks and the lightly-regarded Tigers won the SEC Eastern Division, a huge step forward after going 5-7 during the first season in their new conference.

“If you look at our season, it didn’t hurt us at all,” recalled cornerback E.J. Gaines, a fellow rookie and former Missouri teammate. “If anything, it brought us closer.”

Sam was lightly regarded out of Hitchcock, Texas, a town of about 7,000 along the Gulf Coast about 40 miles southeast of Houston.

His first two years at Missouri,

Sam backed up Aldon Smith and Jacquies Smith, both of whom are in the NFL. The Rams drafted Sam even though they didn’t need help at the defensive end, where they have a pair of first-round picks as starters. The Rams were so wellstocked with picks, taking 11 players overall, they had leeway to take a shot. Fisher said Sam’s value as a player “was off the charts.”

“I’m determined to be great,” Sam said at his introductory news conference, packed with reporters. “I understand that right now you guys want to make a big deal of it.”

From the start, teammates seemed to like having Sam around. His energy was infectious and, if there were problems, they stayed behind closed doors. Publicly, Sam was just another lateround pick trying to make the Rams, which, like other NFL teams, held sensitivity training early in camp. The Oprah Winfrey Network put off a planned documentary on Sam, saying it would allow him to focus on his dream of making the team.

At one point, Sam’s Rams jersey was the No. 2 seller among rookies at NFLShop.com, trailing only Cleveland’s Johnny Manziel, and Sam was among just 10 draftees selected by the NFL to be featured on commemorative coins. Sam headed to the ESPY Awards to pick up the Arthur Ashe Courage award. He got a hug from Hall of Famer Jim Brown on his way to the stage and fought back tears throughout his speech.

“Great things can happen when you have the courage to be yourself,” he told the audience.

BAL TIMORE (AP) — There might come a time when Ohio State coach Urban Meyer expands his offensive playbook to include various long passes, reverses and bootlegs.

Until his young quarterback gains confidence and his line grows up, the No. 5 Buckeyes will likely count on the kind of conservative game plan that proved good enough to beat Navy 34-17 Saturday.

Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns in his college debut as Ohio State earned its 25th consecutive regular-season victory.

“The best thing about this game,” Meyer said, “is we won it and it’s in our rearview mirror.”

Elevated into a starting role after senior Braxton Miller injured his right shoulder two weeks ago, Barrett went 12 for 15 — including an 80-yard TD pass to Devin Smith that put the Buckeyes up 20-14 with 4:10 left in the third quarter.

“I thought J.T. did OK,” Meyer said. “He was good. I never felt he

was rattled.”

Ohio State (1-0) managed only two field goals in the first half.

Although Barrett threw an illadvised interception, he wasn’t entirely to blame for the poor showing.

“We wanted to open it up a little bit more in the first half but we didn’t. It wasn’t because of him; it was because of our offensive line,” Meyer said. “There’s a standard set for offensive line play for many, many years. It did not resemble an offensive line at Ohio State the first two quarters.”

Ohio State won despite allowing the Midshipmen (0-1) to gain 370 yards on the ground, including 118 by Ryan Williams-Jenkins.

But a Navy fumble turned into an OSU touchdown and a blown coverage assignment by the Midshipmen led to the pivotal 80yard score.

“We had some uncharacteristic mistakes that we don’t normally have, and against a team like Ohio State you can’t do that,” Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said.

“We knew coming into the game

we had to play perfect and could not make turnovers or give up any big plays.”

Barrett became the second freshman since 1950 to start a season opener at quarterback for Ohio State. He ran nine times for 50 yards, did not throw downfield often and relied heavily on a ground game that finally wore down the Midshipmen in the fourth quarter.

“It was better at the end than the start,” Barrett said.

After Navy closed to 20-17 with 13:54 remaining, the Buckeyes launched a 10-play drive that featured just one pass. Ezekiel Elliott converted a fourth-and-1 from the Navy 45 and Barrett threw a 19-yard completion before Elliott ran in from the 10.

Barrett’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Mike Thomas made it 3417 with 2:09 left, and Meyer could finally breathe easy.

“We have nine new starters on offense,” he said. “That’s not a normal transition.”

Navy held a 7-6 lead and was driving on the opening series of the second half when Joey Bosa

hit Keenan Reynolds as the quarterback was tossing a pitch to Demond Brown. The ball got loose, and Darron Lee took it 61 yards the other way for a touchdown.

The Midshipmen responded immediately. Williams-Jenkins ran 67 yards to the Ohio State 17, and Reynolds scored from the 1 to put Navy up 14-13. That gave Reynolds a touchdown in nine straight games, tying the school record.

The momentum turned when Smith got behind the Navy defense on the right side, broke a tackle and scored on the longest touchdown against the Midshipmen since an 87-yarder by Tulane in November 2004.

Navy drove to the Ohio State 18 on the final possession of the first half before Nick Sloan missed a 36-yard field goal, keeping the Buckeyes’ deficit at 7-6.

Throwing mostly short, safe passes, Barrett went 8 for 11 for 96 yards and an interception before halftime.

Barrett’s first play at Ohio State was a pass completion for

14 yards. Although he appeared comfortable in the no-huddle offense, the Buckeyes quickly punted.

Ohio State’s next possession began with four straight runs, followed by a sack. A shovel pass on a third-and-21 gained 16 yards to set up a 46-yard field goal by freshman Sean Nuernberger.

Navy answered with an 11-play drive, 10 of them runs, capped by a 1-yard touchdown sweep by DeBrandon Sanders.

Midway through the second quarter, Barrett went 4 for 4 for 54 yards to bring the Buckeyes to the Navy 8. But he hurried a first-down pass and was intercepted by Parrish Gaines.

“After the interception, I was like, ‘J.T., you knew you should not have thrown it.’ And I still threw it,” Barrett said.

Barrett’s inexperience showed again on the next series, when Ohio State had to settle for a field goal. On a third-and-2 from the Navy 4, Barrett rolled right and pitched too late to Elliott, who was smothered for a 7-yard loss.

No. 5 Ohio State holds off Navy 34-17 with safe play

Veteran quarterback Kyle Orton makes cut for Bills ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Veteran quarterback Kyle Orton is in and Jeff Tuel out after the Buffalo Bills shuffled their backup quarterbacks on Saturday for the second time this week.

Orton, a nine-year NFL veteran, signed a one-year contract as the Bills finally addressed their lengthy search for an established veteran to play behind secondyear starter EJ Manuel.

Orton spent the past two seasons in Dallas before being cut by the Cowboys in mid-July after he skipped the team’s offseason workouts amid reports that he was considering retirement.

The Bills targeted a veteran after entering last season with two untested players: Tuel, an undrafted rookie, and journeyman Thad Lewis.

Lewis was cut on Tuesday and Tuel became the odd-man out in being among 10 players cut by the Bills to establish their 53man roster.

That leaves Manuel and Orton as Buffalo’s only two quarterbacks in preparing to open the season at Chicago on Sept. 7.

It’s the latest switch of quarterbacks in Buffalo. Fifth-year player Jordan Palmer was signed on Tuesday and then cut on Friday, a day after throwing three interceptions in a preseasonending 23-0 loss to Detroit.

The Bills also carrying two

punters after signing Colton Schmidt, who spent the past two preseasons with San Francisco before being cut each time by the 49ers. He joins Jordan Gay, who was signed earlier this week.

Receiver T.J. Graham, a thirdround pick in the 2012 draft, and veteran offensive lineman Doug Legursky were among the notable players released Saturday.

Graham, who had 54 catches for 683 yards and three touchdowns in 31 games, was unable to get a spot in a group of receivers that included the offseason additions of first-round draft pick Sammy Watkins and veteran Mike Williams.

Also cut were safeties Deon Broomfield and Kenny Ladler; linebacker Jimmy Gaines; receiver Caleb Holley; defensive ends Ikponmwosa Igbinosun and Bryan Johnson; and guard Antoine McLain.

The Bills are actually carrying 54 players, including linebacker Nigel Bradham, who won’t count against the roster in Week 1.

Bradham was suspended for one game by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

The Bills had Orton on their radar for more than a month, but had their previous offers rebuffed.

He was Chicago’s fourth-

round pick in 2005, and also played in Denver and Kansas City. He has a 35-35 record and gone 1,326 of 2,265 for 15,019 yards with 83 touchdowns and 59 interceptions.

He went 10-5 as a rookie in leading the Bears to the playoffs while filling in for injured starter Rex Grossman. Orton did not play the following season after Grossman reclaimed the starting job.

Orton eventually spent two-

plus seasons in Denver before losing the starting job to Tim Tebow.

He spent the past two seasons backing up Tony Romo in Dallas, where Orton went 42 of 61 for 479 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in four games. That included a start in last year’s season-ending 24-22 loss to Philadelphia that was sealed by Orton throwing a late interception.

Orton could be in line for play-

ing time in Buffalo.

Manuel was both injury-prone and inconsistent as a rookie last year. The first-round pick finished 4-6 and missed time because of three separate knee injuries.

Though Manuel has remained healthy this offseason, the Bills’ of fense has sputtered. The Manuel-led starters combined to score four field goals and two touchdowns in five preseason games.

No. 7 UCLA’s defense holds off upset bid, Virginia Roswell Daily Record

Sunday, August 31, 2014

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Brett Hundley was all smiles, mostly because of his defense.

Seventh-ranked UCLA scored three defensive touchdowns in the second quarter Saturday and Hundley led them on a critical second-half scoring drive as the Bruins escaped Virginia 28-20 in the opener for both teams.

“Sometimes a game like this might be good to get our team understanding that every game we have to come with it,” the quarterback said. “We have to understand what we train for and we have to do it. ... We have a lot of stuff to work on.”

Hundley, widely regarded as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks, was harassed all day by Virginia’s pressure defense, which sacked him five times, and made the biggest play of the day for UCLA with his feet. It came on a 6-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter when safety Quin Blanding met him around the 3 yard-line, and Hundley overpowered him.

“Great players made plays when they need to be made,”

Bruins coach Jim Mora Jr. said.

That he only had to make one was thanks to the defense, which registered three scores for the first time since 1986.

“When you stop the run like we did and put the ball in the end zone three times, that’s a pretty special day,” Mora said.

The Cavaliers had a first down at the Bruins’ 19 late in the game, but three running plays netted just two yards, and linebacker Myles Jack disrupted Matt Johns’ fourth-and-8 pass to Doni Dowling.

The third-down run was Johns’ fault, he said.

“I read the wrong line of my wristband,” he said.

That Johns was even in the game was a surprise, but he came on to replace Greyson Lambert late in the first half, after the Bruins’ third defensive touchdown gave them a 21-3 lead.

Johns then led a touchdown drive and played the entire second half, creating questions about what had seemed to be a settled quarterback situation for Virginia.

Throughout the preseason, the

development of Lambert as a player and a leader was touted by players and coaches as a great reason to be optimistic about the season. Then Johns outplayed him.

“Most of all, it’s about players that can perform, and he rose to the occasion given his opportunity,” Virginia coach Mike London said of Johns, a redshirt sophomore. “Like any other position,

you have to perform.”

The Bruins have no such problem behind center, and when he needed to, Hundley showed why.

UCLA led just 21-17 and had not

NEW YORK (AP) — Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova was stunned in the third round of the U.S. Open by a scrambling, moon-balling qualifier ranked No. 145.

Aleksandra Krunic, a 21-yearold Serb who until this week had not taken even a set from a player in the top 30, crumpled to the court in celebration and shock Saturday when she pulled off the 6-4, 6-4 upset of the third-seeded Czech.

“Of course, I didn’t expect to win,” said Krunic, the second qualifier to pull off such a shocker after 121st-ranked Mirjana Lucic-Baroni beat No. 2-seeded Simona Halep on Friday.

Even when Krunic took the lead in the second set and the Louis Armstrong Stadium crowd was cheering her on, “I just told to myself, It’s still on her, you still have nothing to lose.”

“I really focused my 100 percent not to think about anything that is happening — about the court, about so many people, about Petra,” she said.

After a week of upsets on the

women’s side, only three of the top eight seeds remains, No. 1 Serena Williams, No. 5 Maria Sharapova and No. 7 Eugenie Bouchard.

Kvitova, who would have ascended to the No. 1 ranking if she won the U.S. Open and Williams had lost before the quarterfinal, committed 34 unforced errors against the fast-moving Krunic, who slid and sometimes went into a split to chase down every ball and make her opponent hit one more shot.

Kvitova too often failed to do so, including what should have been an easy putaway of a drop shot that put Krunic a point away from winning the first set. Kvitova sprayed a backhand long on the next point to lose it.

Those problems continued in the second set, and in an epic 27stroke rally on match point, Krunic looped several towering shots before Kvitova sailed yet another forehand out to end it.

“She played really unbelievable tennis and she put a lot of balls back ... almost all of them,” said Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon

champion who has never advanced past the fourth round at the U.S. Open. “I was trying to fight and fighting every point, but it was so difficult. It wasn’t really my day.”

Krunic next faces 16th-seeded Victoria Azarenka, a straight-sets winner over Elena Vesnina.

Azarenka, who has lost to Williams in the past two U.S. Open finals, says she had never seen Krunic play before.

Novak Djokovic says his fellow Serb Krunic bumped him out of a private physical therapy room in the players’ gym before her second-round match earlier this week and ran into him in the gym again before her upset of Kvitova.

“I hope she kicks me out every single day so she keeps on winning, if that’s the lucky charm,” he said with a laugh.

There was no upset for Williams, who easily moved into the fourth round by beating 52nd-ranked American Varvara Lepchenko 6-3, 6-3.

Williams, a 17-time Grand Slam singles champion, had some trouble dealing with the

whipping wind in Arthur Ashe Stadium but eventually took control against Lepchenko, a 2012 Olympic teammate and occasional practice partner.

Among the other major women’s seeds to survive were No. 11 Flavia Pennetta and No. 17 Ekaterina Makarova.

The men’s side, meanwhile, remained largely true to form.

None of the top 10 and only two of the top 20 seeded men had lost entering Saturday.

The top-seeded Djokovic continued that trend with a routine 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory over American Sam Querrey, earning a spot in the round of 16 at a 22nd consecutive Grand Slam tournament.

Djokovic counts the 2011 U.S. Open among his seven major titles and has played in the past four finals at Flushing Meadows.

Eighth-seeded Andy Murray needed four sets to get past Andrey Kuznetsov in humid, overcast conditions, his first day match since he battled cramps over much of his body in a firstround victory over Robin Haase.

“I ate properly, I drank properly, I

felt a lot better today,” he said.

That sets up an intriguing fourth-round matchup with No. 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who overcame tough winds in the Grandstand to beat Pablo Carreno Busta 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. His prediction: “I will come on the court as a fighter.”

Tenth-seeded Kei Nishikori advanced in straight sets against No. 23 Leonardo Mayer, and fifthseeded Milos Raonic took three straight tiebreakers over Victor Estrella Burgos, who at 34 was the oldest man left in the draw.

In other key matches Saturday, American John Isner, seeded 13th, sought to defeat No. 22 Philipp Kohlschreiber, the man who has beaten him in the third round the last two years.

Bouchard and 19-year-old Nick Kyrgios, a lanky Australian with a big serve who stunned Rafael Nadal in the fourth round at Wimbledon, are featured in the main night matches in Ashe.

Cowboys cut RB Ryan Williams, get Mauk, Mizzou beats SD State 38-18 Titans DE Lavar Edwards in trade IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys waived running back R yan Williams and receivers LaRon Byrd and Jamar Newsome on Saturday while acquiring defensive end Lavar Edwards in a trade with Tennessee.

Two of the team’s five seventh-round draft picks this year were waived: cor nerback T errance Mitchell and linebacker Will Smith. Players who clear waivers will be eligible for the practice squad.

Williams, a 2011 second-round pick who had three injury-filled seasons with Arizona, was Dallas’ leading rusher in the preseason but missed

the finale with a groin strain. He lost out to second-year player Joseph Randle in the competition to be the third running back.

Byrd and Newsome were the top two receivers in the exhibition games, but the Cowboys went to training camp all but set at the position.

Edwards, taken in the fifth round by the Titans in 2013, was acquired for a seventh-round pick next year. He played in seven games, including one start.

Rookie Dustin Vaughan made the cut and for now is the third quarterback behind Tony Romo and Brandon Weeden. The Cowboys haven’t carried

three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster since the end of the 2011 season.

As expected, defensive end Anthony Spencer was activated from the physically unable to perform list. He’s eligible to practice and play but will miss the Sept. 7 opener against San Francisco.

Cor nerback Orlando Scandrick and safety Jakar Hamilton were placed on the suspended list. Both are serving four-game suspensions to start the season for violations of drug policies.

The Cowboys released a pair of veterans in receiver Desmon Briscoe and guard Uche Nwaneri.

Running back Phillip

starters the final two quarters.

Kevin Hogan threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns to help the two-time defending Pac-12 champions get off to a mostly smooth start. He completed 12 of 16 passes and had one interception.

Stanford’s retooled defense held the Aggies to 115 total yards, forced three turnovers and sacked London Lacy four times to overwhelm the lower -tier Football Championship Subdivision team. UC Davis didn’t cross midfield until the final play of the game.

The Cardinal’s first shutout since beating Colorado 48-0 on Nov. 3, 2012, showed just how far they’ve come since losing 20-17 at

home to UC Davis in 2005.

But Stanford still has plenty to clean up before the Trojans visit The Farm.

The Cardinal’s overhauled offensive line — which features four new starters — had its share of struggles, including a false start, holding and clipping penalties in the first half.

Hogan also was sacked once.

Barry Sanders ran for 43 yards on seven carries, and starter Kelsey Young had 37 yards on seven carries as they take on the task of replacing 1,700-yard rusher Tyler Gaffney this season.

Stanford finished with 149 yards rushing.

UC Davis lacked the talent to contain the Cardinal or sustain drives. Lacy

Tanner was waived after the Cowboys added him for the final preseason game against Denver while sitting their top four running backs. D.J. Adams also was let go.

The Cowboys waived defensive linemen Kenneth Boatright, Dartwan Bush and Zach Minter and linebackers Dontavis Sapp, Keith Smith and Orie Lemon.

The other Dallas players waived were offensive linemen Josh Aladenoye, Stephen Goodin and Ronald Patrick; safety R yan Smith; and tight end Asa Watson.

Montgomery, Stanford stomp UC Davis

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Ty Montgomery returned his first career punt for a touchdown and caught five passes for 77 yards and another score, and No. 11 Stanford tuned up for a date with No. 15 Southern California next week by routing UC Davis 45-0 on Saturday.

The All-American kick returner, who was cleared by team doctors to play earlier this week after offseason surgery on his right shoulder, looked ready to be the Cardinal’s do-it-all playmaker again. He ran his first punt back 60 yards for a TD and lined up all over the field, including once as a wildcat quarterback.

Stanford led 38-0 at the half and rested most of its

completed 12 of 22 passes for 54 yards and two interceptions, and the Aggies’ top two running backs sat out with injuries.

Even still, Montgomery gave them the most trouble.

After Stanford stopped UC Davis on the game’s opening possession, Montgomery fielded a punt near the middle of the field. He sliced right, cut back up field and shook off a tackle from punter Coby Wadman to complete the 60-yard score.

Montgomery also caught a short inside screen from Hogan and raced 44 yards for another touchdown late in the first half. And he had one rush for eight yards out of the wildcat formation.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Maty Mauk threw for 178 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 24 Missouri past South Dakota State 38-18 in the season opener for both teams Saturday.

Mauk seemed at ease early, finding receiver Darius White crossing behind the Jackrabbits’ defense for a 44yard touchdown pass just 50 seconds into the game. The Tigers extended their lead to 21-10 at halftime and never trailed.

Zach Zenner rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries for South Dakota State (0-1), who fell to 0-7 against FBS teams since moving to Division I in 2004.

Zach Lujan completed 21 of 28 passes for 239 yards and an interception in place of Austin Sumner, who left the game in the first quarter and did not return.

Missouri moved to 14-0 all-time against Football Championship Subdivision teams and has won 13 consecutive season openers.

The Tigers’ early 7-0 lead lasted only one play thanks to a 75-yard touchdown run by Zenner, but Mauk found White again on the third drive, this time for a 39-yard pass in the corner of the end zone behind safety Anthony Sherrils. White finished with two receptions for 83 yards and two touchdowns.

King lags in New Mexico governor’s race SANTA FE (AP) — After a summer of bruising television ads in New Mexico’s race for governor, Democrat Gary King remains optimistic he can close the gap in an uphill challenge against Republican incumbent Susana Martinez.

The two-term attorney general trailed Martinez by 9 percentage points in a recent poll and lags far behind in fundraising. But King is undaunted.

“We weathered a million dollars’ worth of negative ads, and we’re still within striking range in the polls,” King said in an interview.

Martinez and the Republican Gover nors Association unloaded on King with a barrage of TV ads within days after he won the Democratic nomination in June.

Now the general election is rapidly approaching, with absentee voting to start in a little over a month on Oct. 7.

Martinez leads the race with 50 percent of likely voters backing her, according to a poll commissioned by the Albuquerque Jour nal. King was favored by 41 percent and 9 percent were undecided in the mid-August survey.

Albuquerque pollster Brian Sanderoff, whose firm conducted the poll, said King faces a difficult task.

“When the front-runner is already at 50 percent, you need to get the lion’s share of the undecided plus take away some votes from the front-runner.

That’s Gary King’s challenge,” said Sanderof f.

“That takes money. That’s going to take some hardhitting ads that hit the nail on the head and resonate with New Mexicans why they should vote for Gary King and not for Susana Martinez.”

To that end, King has launched and aired an ad focusing on some of the dominant themes of his campaign — improving schools by scrapping Martinez administration policies and expanding early childhood education to start reversing New Mexico’s dismal national ranking in child well-being.

On the campaign trail, King also stresses the need to revitalize the economy, which until recently has been losing jobs.

Martinez continues to pound away at King, including his vote for a hefty budget-balancing tax increase package

grandchildren. The last thing she always told everyone was that she loved them. She would give up herself to help others. Tudy loved to do laundry. Laundry was her way to contribute to everyday chores.

She loved all holidays, Christmas was her favorite.

She was a strong woman and a blessing to family.

She touched everybody she came across.

Tudy family was her true strength, her heart was so full of love. She always touched people with her love and kindness. Mom’s favorite thing was to spend time with dad and he was her best friend, the true love of her life, he was her boyfriend since 3rd grade.

Her life was full of pain and sickness but through it all her love showed through.

She was so strong and quitting was never an option. Momma was a true warrior. She had a true faith and trust in the Lord.

The love momma and daddy had was a true gift.

Momma inspired our lives with her strength, courage and endurance. A true blessing to all who she encountered.

Momma enjoyed life.

Tudy’s presence will be greatly missed.

Enhancing stadium experience one of NFL goals Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — While 31 teams try to derail the Seahawks’ attempt to repeat, there are plenty of other challenges facing players, coaches and owners heading into opening week of the NFL. Many are along the sidelines and in the stands.

The NFL and its partners have been ahead of the curve in technology on television, but coaches were stuck using antiquated photo prints and cardboard play sheets. This season, coaches have the option of using NFLapproved tablets during games.

Even the curmudgeonly Bill Belichick has enthusiastically endorsed the technology.

“The sideline of the future is where we’re going,” says Troy Vincent, the league’s overseer of football operations.

At the Hall of Fame game to open the preseason, Vincent noted that Buffalo’s coaching staff was fully engaged with the tablets.

“We were not real sure if the Giants’ Tom Coughlin was buying it, but it was encouraging,” he said.

“Still photos will remain in place; you’ve got to have a backup plan. But you can see the players and the coaches quickly moving from one (image) on the tablet to the next to the next. We think with one season and an offseason, the coaches will get more familiar with it. The younger generation already is all over it, as you’d expect.”

Game officials will be wired up, too, much as soccer referees have been for years. That should improve communication on calls, perhaps leading to fewer huddles that slow the action.

NFL officiating director Dean Blandino admits the change is challenging.

“It’s an adjustment,” Blandino says. “You have people commu-

nicating with you on the wireless that you haven’t experienced before. We’ll work through the process. It’s an enhancement and we don’t want it to be a deterrent in any way to our primary objectives.”

Another of the league’s primary objectives is keeping people in the stadiums. It’s not quite so challenging early in the season, when the weather is good and everyone is in contention — well, maybe not in Buf falo and Oakland. Deeper into the season, it gets tougher.

“TV viewing experience of our games is so good with the NFL channels and the Red Zone and HD televisions and other options. We have to give people reasons to want to come to our games,” Giants owner John Mara says. “So making the in-stadium experience special and different is a priority.”

Fans in stadiums will have access to video replays that viewers at home don’t get. They will get Wi-Fi allowing them to track other games, their fantasy teams and to send selfies.

And, of course, they get to witness firsthand a long Adrian Peterson burst to the end zone, a Robert Quinn sack or a J.J. Watt swat of an attempted pass.

“I still believe nothing beats the experience of being at the stadium and seeing these great players live,” Mara says.

Some of those players won’t be seen when the season begins. A few — Rams quarterback Sam Bradford, Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee, for example — are injured and gone for the year.

Others, such as Ravens running back Ray Rice, are suspended.

Mara expresses concer ns about player conduct away from the field, even as he emphasizes a vast majority of NFL players never run into trouble.

No. 2 Alabama holds off WVU 33-23

ATLANTA (AP) — Blake Sims was good enough to finish his first start at quarterback for Alabama, getting plenty of help from Amari Cooper, T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry, and the second-ranked Crimson Tide held off West Virginia 33-23 Saturday.

Sims was 24-for-33 for 250 yards and added 42 running, playing the entire opener at the Georgia Dome. The fifth-year senior beat out Florida State transfer Jake Coker for the start. Tide coach Nick Saban had suggested both quarterbacks would play, but Sims never came out.

Yeldon (126 yards rushing and two touchdowns), Henry (113 yards rushing and a score) and Cooper (12 catches for 130 yards) provided plenty of support. Alabama needed all the offense it could get because West Virginia found plenty of soft spots in the Tide’s D. The Mountaineers’ up-tempo spread gave Clint Trickett his pick of open receivers, and he took advantage with 365 yards passing.

But West Virginia didn’t take full advantage, dropping more than a half-dozen catchable pass, including one off the hands of Elijah Wellman near the goal line that would have been a sure TD early in the fourth quarter.

Coming off a 4-8 season, West Virginia was a 26 1/2point underdog. The Mountaineers seemed like nothing more than the backdrop to Alabama’s continued quarterback competition. They didn’t play that way. Mario Alford returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score with 1:43 left in the first half to tie the game at 17-17.

Henry scored the only touchdown of the second half on a 19-yard run midway through the third quarter to put Alabama up 27-17. It was all field goals from there.

Coker warmed up briefly on the sideline in the first half, but that was it. Jameis Winston’s backup last season spent a good amount of time sitting on the bench next to Sims, talking to the starter.

Coker came to Alabama as a graduate transfer, immediately eligible and the presumptive replacement for AJ McCarron. Coker and McCarron even went to the same high school, St. Paul’s in Mobile, Alabama.

There are no presumptions with Saban, though, and he tried to put an end to all that during the summer, making it clear that nothing was guaranteed to the 6-foot-5, 230pound junior.

Throughout camp Saban would only say that both quarterbacks were progressing, heaping praise on Sims, while not slighting Coker.

Saban has another Tide team ready to roll. Alabama is loaded with playmakers on offense. The biggest question in the preseason was who would be behind center, but it sure looked as if a defense that struggled at times last year against spread offenses could be a problem again for the Tide.

New Tide offensive coordinator, and former Southern California coach, Lane Kiffin gave Sims some short, quick passes in his first series. Sims completed his first three throws, all toward the sideline and helped Alabama drive to the West Virginia 30. On third-and-4, Sims had Cooper open short over the middle and fired too low for the star receiver to grab. Adam Griffith kicked a 47-yard field goal to tie the game at 3.

Griffith kicked four field goals from 47, 41, 27 and 45.

No matter who plays quarterback for Alabama, he’ll have a treasure trove of talent with which to work. Sims only had to complete three passes on a 14-play, 95-yard touchdown drive that Yeldon finished with a 15-yard run, diving into the end zone for a 10-3 lead. That drive took 6:57.

Trickett responded with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Kevin White, who went high over Bradley Sylve in the corner of the end zone. That 75-yard drive took 2:13 and tied it at 10-10.

New York Giants owner John Mara said, “TV viewing experience of our games is so good with the NFL channels and the Red Zone and HD televisions and other options. We have to give people reasons to want to come to our games. So making the in-stadium experience special and different is a priority.”

“Player conduct has been an area of concentration because some of the things we see do damage the league’s image,” Mara says. “Any time a player is in any sort of trouble, it automatically becomes front page news. These are young men and, at that age a minority of them are getting into trouble from time to time.”

Thursday, Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher punishment for domestic violence.

“We look at all the of fenses that involve players and the scenarios and we have gotten tough with the (punishments) and we

will remain tough with them,” Mara said.

Vincent stresses the need for players to behave well on the field, too. An outstanding defensive back for 15 NFL seasons, he understands as well as anyone the intensity of game action, the “heat of the moment.”

He also knows that taunting fouls increased almost 400 percent from 2012 to 2013.

“Respect at the workplace is paramount,” Vincent says. “Yes, football is a highly emotional sport. But we believe with shared training and discussions with the players, we have seen a conscious effort in the preseason

$

to reduce it. We have not even talked about taunting in preseason games.”

As for the challenge facing every franchise not calling Seattle home, that might be the most daunting of all. The Seahawks certainly want the opposition thinking that way.

“I love this opportunity that we have,” coach Pete Carroll says.

“We are so fortunate to have this chance to come back after a season like that to see if we can find that kind of discipline and find that kind of ability to focus. It’s challenging, it’s difficult, it has not happened a lot and we are going to see what happens.”

Kentucky get satisfying 59-14 win over Tennessee-Martin

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky scored almost every time it had the ball, and its few failures against Tennessee-Martin weren’t for lack of effort.

Most satisfying for the Wildcats were contributions from all phases, particularly a running game that seems poised to establish its own identity.

Braylon Heard stated the backfield’s case with first-half touchdown runs of 73 and 43 yards, spurring Kentucky to a seasonopening, 59-14 rout of the Skyhawks on Saturday.

“It was a good start obviously,” Wildcats coach Mark Stoops said.

“I’m very pleased with the team’s effort. There’s a lot to get corrected, but overall we did a lot of good things.”

Quarterback Patrick Towles added a TD passing and running in his first career start for Kentucky, which outgained the Skyhawks 656-398. The Wildcats’ sophomore threw for 377 yards, but his tailbacks set the tone by

flying through huge holes and scoring virtually untouched.

Especially Heard, the junior transfer whose yardage came on those two carries. He twisted his ankle on the second TD and didn’t return but helped propel Kentucky to a 35-0 halftime lead that reached 52-0 before UTM scored.

Mikel Horton also scored twice and Jojo Kemp added a TD run for Kentucky. Khalid Henderson returned a third-quarter fumble 89 yards for a score.

UT Martin’s consolation was spoiling Kentucky’s bid for its first shutout since September 2009 as Najee Ray and Caylo Weathers scored fourth-quarter TDs on a 1-yard run and 15-yard reception, respectively. By then the Wildcats had overwhelmed the Skyhawks on both sides of the ball.

“There were not a lot of positives,” UTM coach Jason Simpson said. “I am disappointed in that and I am responsible for that.”

The Wildcats’ yardage total was

their fourth-highest in a game.

Kentucky also created five turnovers, including interceptions by Fred Tiller and junior college transfer A.J. Stamps — a one-handed one, yet — that brought Kentucky within one pickof f of matching its entire 2013 total.

Even better, those takeaways led to 21 points.

“I told them we’re going to go out and change it this year and create some turnovers,” Stamps said. “We did today and hopefully can do it the rest of the season.”

While Kentucky was expected to win big over the FCS-level Skyhawks, the Wildcats were expected to dominate with their passing game.

The Wildcats’ improved grasp of the Air Raid offense was supposed to be displayed through the arm and mind of Towles, who won a three-man competition for the starting job. He definitely did his part in completing 20 of 29 attempts without an interception,

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Everett Golson threw touchdown passes of 75 and 53 yards and ran for three more scores in his return after missing the 2013 season for academic impropriety, leading No. 17 Notre Dame to a 48-17 victory over Rice on Saturday.

Golson was 14-of-22 passing for 295 yards and ran for 41 yards on 12 carries. He also had two near -misses on long pass attempts. He scored on an 11yard run on a planned keeper, a 14-yard scramble and a 4-yard run on a blown handoff.

The Irish opened the season without five players who are scheduled to appear before the school’s honor code committee after being investigated for possible cheating. It was the sixth straight season-opening loss for the Owls.

One of the players out because of the investigation was DaVaris Daniels, the only returning Irish receiver with more than 15 catches last season. That didn’t slow Golson, though. He connected with seven different receivers and the Irish amassed 576 yards total offense.

The most exciting throw was a 75-yard touchdown pass to Will Fuller that traveled nearly 60 yards in the air. Fuller was in a full sprint and wide open and needed to slow down to catch the pass near the 25-yard line. Fuller then made Rice safety Julius White miss as he raced into the end zone. It was the longest TD pass for Notre Dame since 2010.

The 53-yard touchdown pass was a little better timed as Golson scrambled and threw a perfect pass to a wide-open C.J. Prosise in the end zone with 5 seconds left in the half, giving the Irish 28-10 lead. Golson was hit hard just after throwing the pass.

Golson became the first Notre Dame quarterback to run for three touchdowns in a game since Jarious Jackson did it against Stanford in 1998. The only other Irish quarterback to accomplish the feat was Paul Hornung against North Carolina in 1956.

Golson’s final touchdown came with 17 seconds left in the third quarter when he turned left to make the handof f and Greg Bryant ran right. Golson squeezed between two Rice

defenders and lunged into the end zone. Bryant added a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter after reserve quarterback Malik Zaire ran for 56 yards on his first collegiate play.

Driphus Jackson, making his second career start at quarterback for Rice, was 13 of 24 passing for 163 yards and one touchdown and interception. Rice backup quarterback Tyler Stehling threw a 53 yard TD pass to James Mayden later. The Owls were without receiver Jordan Taylor, who led the team in receiving last season, because of an injured left foot.

Rice kept the game close early, with Jackson tying the game at 77 on a 26-yard pass to Zach Wright, who was wide open, and closing to 14-10 on a 33-yard field goal by James Hairston. But the Irish broke the game open when Jackson was intercepted by Irish safety Matthias Farley at the Notre Dame 41 yard-line with 21 seconds left in the first half. Golson threw the 53-yard TD two plays later.

The Owls also tried a fake punt on fourth-and-4 from their own 31 late in the third quarter, but

but the backfield’s 234 yards added some balance while showing the scheme’s big-play potential for its runners.

Heard demonstrated that on both TDs, blazing through big holes on consecutive drives to put Kentucky up 21-0 and keeping the air raid sirens blaring for punctuation.

“I’m just trying to take advantage of each carry,” Heard said.

Towles wasn’t fazed about his tailbacks stealing the spotlight because of how well he managed the offense. The Kentucky native was admittedly nervous but didn’t show it as he made good reads, avoided sacks by getting rid of the ball quickly and most importantly, hit short and long throws.

“There were a couple of bad decisions,” Towles said, “but as you saw, I did what coach has been wanting me to and that was coming out on the next series and making two good decisions that canceled out my bad ones.”

In between completions that moved the ball downfield, Towles hit long passes of 44, 56 and 79 yards that led to 17 points. His 56-yarder to Ryan Timmons set up his 29-yard TD pass to freshman Blake Bone, who found a hole in the flat and turned it into a 28-0 lead.

Horton’s 18-yard TD run came two plays after Towles’ 36-yarder to Bone on the left sideline.

It was that easy for the Wildcats, who also had a lot to feel good about defensively in keeping UT -Martin in check before it scored late against the reserves.

The game’s final 4 minutes were muted after Kentucky cheerleader Brooke Gibbs was injured in a fall. She gave a thumbs-up while being carted off the field for transport to nearby UK Chandler Hospital, where she was treated and released several hours later.

Golson attains 6 TDs in No. 17 Irish’s 48-17 win over Rice

California hangs off Northwestern 31-24

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Jared Goff threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns, Jalen Jefferson had a key interception, and California hung on to beat Northwestern 31-24 Saturday in the season-opener.

The Golden Bears looked like they were on their way to an easy victory up 31-7 in the third quarter. Instead, they had to sweat this one out.

Northwestern got two touchdowns in a 25-second span late in the third to pull within 10. Jack Mitchell added a 24yard field goal with 5:18 left in the game to make it 31-24, and the Wildcats were threatening to score again when Jefferson came up big.

With Northwestern on the California 27, he sacked Trevor Siemian for an 11-yard loss. On the next play, he picked off a tipped pass that was intended for Pierre Youngblood-Ary at the 15, and the Golden Bears came away with the win after dropping 16 straight to FBS opponents.

The late rally aside, it was a rough afternoon for Northwestern.

The Wildcats are trying to steer attention toward their play after being engulfed by the unionization debate with former quarterback Kain Colter leading the movement, and this was not what they had in mind.

Coming off a 5-7 season, they couldn’t slow Cal’s uptempo offense or get anything going when they had the ball.

Goff, who threw for more than 3,500 yards as a freshman, was 21 of 34 with an interception.

Trevor Davis caught a 76-yard touchdown. California racked up 414 yards to come away with the win after going 1-11 in coach Sonny Dykes’ first season.

Northwestern’s Trevor Siemian, who shared the quarterback job with Colter the past two years, threw for 229 yards.

Cameron Dickerson had a 54-yard touchdown reception, but the Wildcats came up short after making things interesting down the stretch. It started with that 25-second stretch late in the third, when Justin Jackson scored on a 7-yard run and Siemian hauled in a 17-yard pass off a flea-flicker from Jayme Taylor following an interception by Collin Ellis.

That made it 31-21 with just over 2 minutes left in the third quarter. Until then, Northwestern got dominated.

Cal asserted itself right from the start, going 79 yards for a touchdown on the game’s opening possession.

Goff, who threw for 450 yards and two scores in last year’s loss to the Wildcats, hit Bryce Treggs on fourth down at the 1 to make it 7-0. And things just mounted from there.

Northwestern was then threatening to score when Warren Long got stopped on fourth-and-1 at the Cal 22, and the Golden Bears responded with another touchdown.

This time, Goff hit a leaping Kenny Lawler in the end zone for a 7-yarder that made it a 14-point game, and the Golden Bears continued to pour it on.

Cal started its next possession early in the second quarter on the Northwestern 29 after a short punt out of the end zone by Chris Gradone off a bounced snap. That led to a 20yard field goal by James Langford to bump the lead to 17-0.

Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson runs for a touchdown against Rice, Saturday. Golson threw for three and ran for three touchdowns.

Luke Turner was tackled for a three-yard gain.

The Irish defense played solidly even missing three starters, holding Rice to 367 yards total offense. Cornerback KeiVarae Russell and defensive end Ishaq Williams were out because of the cheating investigation and safety Austin Collinsworth, named one of the captains earlier in the week, missed the game with an undisclosed injury. He was on crutches with his right leg in a

brace.

The Irish special teams, which have struggled under coach Kelly, got off to a good start Saturday.

Notre Dame, which had a total of 106 yards in punt returns all last season, finished with 80 yards against Rice.

The game was the first for the Irish on its new FieldTurf playing surface that the school installed after needing to re-sod portions of the field four times in 2013.

DOG

BY DYLANNE PETROS VISTAS EDITOR

More than 300 dogs, and their owners, will invade Roswell Sept. 6 and 7 for the 56th annual Rio Pecos Kennel Club Dog Show.

This year there will be 355 dogs shown, which is a decrease from last year’s 451.

“There are so many shows all over the country and in Europe and so forth that it’s hard to get the numbers that we used to when there were fewer shows,” said Sarah Brinegar, treasurer of RPKC. The decrease in dogs will not spoil the fun of the competition, though. Judges and dogs from around the country are slated to show up at the event.

The show will start at 7:30 a.m. on both days and will take place at the Roswell Industrial Air Center Park on Earl Cummins Loop.

The RPKC members are working together to put on the event from setting up the venue to providing the prizes that winners will receive and there will be outside help from the Onofrio Dog Shows, a group that helps to put together and advertise dog shows all over the country.

“Everyone has their own job to do,” Brinegar said. “We have a lot of people helping us.”

The 355 dogs will be separated into seven different categories: sporting, herding, working, toy, terrier, hound and non-sporting. The American Kennel Club recognizes the seven categories. The AKC is the group See SHOW, Page C2

The Friends of Bitter Lake have a couple of door prizes to give away this year. One is a Weber Q1200™ Grill, donated by Westlake Hardware, and the other is a 2014 Canadian $10 1/2 oz. silver coin with a dragonfly on it. T he dragonfly is in color and is in front of a hologram depicting its habitat.

The drawing will be on Saturday afternoon and you don’t have to be present to win. Tickets are a dollar apiece or six for $5 and all proceeds go to the Friends. Both prizes were donated.

There will also be a catfish tank so the kids can catch a big one.

This is a wonderful way to spend a day with the kids and to show them what nature is all about.

that is in charge of the rules and standards for dog shows.

All dogs will be separated into these categories and will be judged on confor mation by five judges on Saturday and six on Sunday.

“Conformation is when a dog is judged on their body. How they’re put together, how they move, how they compare to the standard (dog),” Brinegar said. “Every judge has a picture of the perfect dog he is judging. The judges are the ones that look at the dog, feel the dog, examine the dog and pick out the best one.”

If dogs do not meet the “perfect dog” standard for their breed, they will be eliminated from competition.

Showings will occur until 12:30 p.m. each day and then the top dogs from the seven categories will then compete for the title of “Best Dog in Show.”

In the world of dog shows, dogs can become champion and grand champions by earning points when being shown. The dogs earn points just by being in the show and so, if an owner wants his or her dog to receive a champion or grand champion title, it would be best to hire a handler for the dog.

The handlers are the ones who travel with the dog to shows all over the country so the owners do not have to travel.

The show will be free to the public on both days and there will be concessions available.

respectful of the dogs that are showing because if children do not behave, the dogs might lose focus.

“If a dog is stacking and the judge is looking at him and a little kid (ran) by screaming, it would make the dog move and the dog could lose because of that,” Brinegar said.

While they ask the public to be respectful of the dogs that are being shown, the RPKC is eager to welcome spectators.

“We like for the public to come in because a lot of people are interested in a certain breed but they don’t know what exactly they like,” Brinegar said.

Brinegar encourages people to come to the show to not only watch the competition, but to see what dog might fit best with their family.

“After (owners and handlers) have finished in the ring they talk to the

(spectators),” Brinegar said. “That’s why a lot of people like to come out because just reading a book doesn’t cut it … actually seeing the particular breed move in the ring and (talking) to the owner about the good points and the bad points (is good).”

Even though the event has been going on for 56 years now, the RPKC still has fun.

“It’s fun to spend those two days with people that you share the love of animals and dogs (with),” Brinegar said.

Teen’s use of marijuana causes tension in family Q: What can we do about our teen's use of marijuana? When we confronted him, he said that it's now socially acceptable and on the verge of being legalized. He's refused to stop, and we're not sure how to respond.

Jim: Sadly, your son is correct in some respects. The social stigma against marijuana is diminishing rapidly, and some states — including my home state of Colorado -- have legalized it for even non-medicinal purposes.

Nevertheless, marijuana remains offlimits to anyone under 21 in every state, and is still illegal at the federal level.

Legalities aside, the fact remains that cannabis is a mind-altering and addictive drug. Your son needs to know that his physical and mental health is being compromised. If you've noticed recent changes in his personality, you can strengthen your case by describing these behavioral shifts in specific terms. You can also direct him to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (samhsa.gov), where he can see images of "the brain on pot" and access facts about the effects of marijuana on the central nervous system.

Once you've covered the science, don't hesitate to draw a line in the sand. Let your son know that, as long as he's living with you, the weed has to go. The permissive attitudes of society have nothing to do with the standards governing your home. Set firm and consistent boundaries, and enforce them by imposing swift and powerful consequences -- for example, the loss of cellphone or driving privi-

If he refuses to cooperate, our counseling team recommends that you seek professional help together, as a family. The most successful treatment programs take a family systems approach that involves intensive evaluation and a series of counseling sessions offered in an environment of community and accountability.

Q: How can couples achieve intimacy with a newborn in the house? How can we keep the spark going?

Dr. Greg Smalley, executive director of Marriage and Family Formation: After the birth of a baby, interest in sex can be very different for each person.

Some want to resume intimacy as soon as possible. Others experience a decrease in desire. There can be many reasons for this: postpartum depression, fatigue, preoccupation with the baby, fear of discomfort during intercourse (due to temporary physiological changes following the birth), tension or anxiety about new responsibilities, and hormonal changes.

Before you and your spouse resume your sexual relationship, talk with your doctor. Ask specific questions about how long you should wait before intercourse

and what you might expect physically.

Medical considerations aside, the key to a couple's sexual relationship after childbirth is not how active their sex life is. Instead, it is tied to their understanding of one another's needs. Ask each other questions like, "What would make our intimate relationship a '10' to you?"

"What do you need from me sexually right now?"

It's important to really listen to how your mate responds to these questions. Don't diminish his or her responses. Remember, this is what your mate needs from you sexually right now. There is no right or wrong answer. If you receive an answer that is below your expectations, honor your spouse, even though you may not agree.

And don't forget, a wife will respond sexually after she feels emotionally connected to her husband. Make sure you're focusing on meeting each other's emotional and relational needs. Talking about your day, praying together, setting relationship goals and having regular date nights will help build your emotional relationship.

A positive sexual relationship stems from a positive relationship first. Once your spouse feels like you're honoring his or her needs, then he or she can better respond to yours, too.

C4 Sunday, August 31, 2014 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: My neighbor has a registered day care business, and every day I hear her screaming at young children and infants. They are all 4-year-olds and younger. We live in a rural area outside a small town. She uses profanity and says mean things to them. It makes me want to cry when I think of how scared those kids must be.

Who do I contact with this information? I could record her with my phone if evidence was needed to shut down her business. This woman has a really

bad anger management problem.

She also knows I can hear her because we have spoken about how our voices travel.

I don’t think she is being physically abusive, but her words must be damaging to those kids. Please help me find someone to tell. I’m afraid the local police won’t be able to do anything. I can’t even take my own child in our backyard because she swears so much.

DAY CARE DRAMA IN INDIANA DEAR D.C.D.: Ideally, you should try to tell the parents what you have been hearing because they should be aware that their trusted caregiver loses control of her emotions and takes out her frustrations on their children. If the situation is as ugly as you describe, those kids must be terrified of her.

If that’s not possible, Child Protective Services should be notified because the environment is not emotionally healthy for little children.

COMICS

P.S. By the age of 4, children usually have started to repeat the language they hear around them. I’m surprised these parents haven’t noticed the change in their vocabulary and questioned their little ones about where they heard those “bad words.” Nonetheless, on the chance that the parents are clueless, what you have observed should be reported.

DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, a contractor working for the U.S. government, who thinks he’s in love with a Ukrainian girl. The pay is really good. He recently came back from a visit to see this “girlfriend.”

He has been sending this girl almost all his money for the last nine months. He was never alone with her, and she showed no emotional or physical attraction to him. In fact, a male friend of hers asked him for $800 to give

as a bribe so he wouldn’t be drafted into the Ukrainian military. We believe this male friend is, in fact, the girl’s real boyfriend.

Family Circus

My friend paid $300 to send flowers to her for their ninemonth anniversary, for which she expressed no thanks or appreciation. What advice can you provide us here?

FRIEND IN AFGHANISTAN

DEAR FRIEND:

Your friend’s “romance” seems suspicious to me, too. That he is giving all his money to someone who appears to be so emotionally distant is worrisome. I also have to doubt that $800 would keep an able-bodied man from being drafted into the Ukrainian military since the country is now involved in military conflict. It appears your friend is being treated more like an ATM than a suitor, but he may have to arrive at that realization on his own.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about people doing other things while on the phone: “My Sound Off is people chewing and eating while on the phone. I work as a customer-service/sales person, and it is very distracting, to say nothing of unappealing, to listen to people eat their lunch or snack while you are trying to help them with their problems or sale.

“Equally as annoying is talking to people while they are on speakerphone. It is always difficult to hear the customer, and he or she is frequently doing some other task (rustling papers, washing dishes, etc.) while talking to you. I am at your service, so please do me the courtesy of giving me your undivided attention for the few minutes it takes to accomplish our task.”

A Reader, via email It can be distracting and even detrimental! Although many of us do tend to multitask. When I am on hold on the phone, I feel it’s OK to quickly wipe the counter, put dishes in the dishwasher, etc. As far as eating, there are only a few people with whom I might do so while talking on the phone. I do explain that we all are working, and it’s lunchtime.

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com Dear Readers: Here are uses for leftover yarn: * Make a “scrap” blanket. * Use in place of ribbon around a gift. * Wrap around hangers so clothes don’t slip off. * Give to kids to make bracelets with. * Tie to zipper pulls or fan pulls to extend them.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: I have been on a mission lately to declutter and organize my house.

One spot that I found extremely hard to declutter was the pantry. We had so many boxes of snacks that were only half-full — boxes of granola bars, fruit snacks, individual packaged chips, etc. They took up so much space in my pantry. To save space and make it more organized, I bought a couple of inexpensive, small, plastic baskets to fit my shelves. Whenever I have a partially full box of snacks now, I take the rest from the box and place them in the basket. Saves space and keeps it organized!

T.G. in Texas

Dear Heloise: I wanted to respond to the woman who complained in a recent column about newer bath towels being too heavy to use as hair towels. I totally agree with what the reader said. Here is my hint: I purchased a bath sheet (an oversize bath towel) that had “quick drying” on the label. I ran it through the washer and dryer. Then I laid it on a table, folded it in half lengthwise and cut it at the fold. Just a quick pass on a serger of my sewing machine to clean up the edges, and I had two lightweight, perfect-size hair towels!
