Stocks plunge worldwide, the worst since ’08

The stock market buckled Monday under the weight of a crisis in Europe and danger of recession at home. Reeling from a downgrade of American debt, the Dow Jones industrials plunged 634 points.

It was the worst day for the market since the financial crisis in the fall of 2008 and extended Wall Street’s sudden, sharp decline.

THE VOICE OF THE PECOS VALLEY

Stocks have lost 15 percent of their value in just two and a half weeks.

Monday was the first trading day since Standard and Poor’s downgraded the United States’ risk-free credit rating, and the selling started at the opening bell. The Dow dropped 250 points in minutes. For the rest of the day, investors looked for safer places for

their money. With few buyers left for stocks, the market could only drift lower.

The Dow finished the day down 5.5 percent. The point decline was the worst since Dec. 1, 2008, and the sixth-steepest ever. The average ended at 10,809.85, its first close under 11,000 since November.

Deputy District Attorney Alan Grif fin and David Vega’s defense attorney, Jesse Cosby, met in Judge Charles Currier’s court, Monday, for the final hearing before the scheduled Aug. 16 jury trial.

David Vega faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder, and one count of an attempt to commit a violent felony for the shoot-out that ensued after the death of his son. Vega is accused of murdering son Christopher Lee Vega, 25, and his son's girlfriend, Alisa Montgomery, 31, on May 10, 2010.

The shooting followed Vega’s release from Chaves County Detention Center after he was

arrested around 8:30 p.m. on May 9 for disorderly house. When Vega was taken into custody that evening, it was the third time officers had been called to the residence that day.

The police retur ned after Vega’s nephew called them. When of ficers approached the residence at about 2 a.m., they say they were immediately fired upon with multiple weapons. Vega’s bullets grazed two of ficers on their heads and wounded the leg and forearm of a third.

Vega was shot by police and immediately given medical attention.

In the final hearing Cosby confirmed having received the ballistic reports, but stated the fingerprints turned in to the State were inadequate and the results unsatis-

factory. He asked that fingerprint evidence be omitted until provided with more adequate fingerprints.

Grif fin added a lastminute witness, along with a video tape of a police interview that was completed during a previous altercation at the residence at 1007 Rancho Road.

Cosby had no objection.

Even though, he said the State’s position was that the video showed intent for anger, Cosby felt the video supported his client’s claim that “the victim, Chris, was a liar, and that Kathy (Vega’s wife) was overmedicated.”

He further noted that Vega had believed Chris was providing Kathy’s drugs.

Downgrading, political landscape

WASHINGTON (AP) — The S&P downgrade was more of a statement on the toxic political landscape in Washington than a comment on the nation’s ability to pay its bills. But S&P has its own checkered history. Just a few years ago, the company gave its top triple-A rating to some of the mortgage-backed securities that helped cause the Great Recession.

Spot, the wolf-dog hybrid, was part of the presentation at Spring River Zoo’s annual dinner held Saturday.

Spring River Zoo, at 1306 E. College Blvd., held its annual appreciation dinner for members of The Friends of Roswell Zoo, Saturday evening.

Zoo Director Elaine Mayfield introduced the staff and spoke about the exciting things that had happened in the last year, such as the completion of the lake project, Zoo Camp and Earth Camp.

“The Friends of Roswell Zoo is a great organization. They’ve sponsored Zoo Camp for 400 children for the last 16 years.

They’ve purchased animals and paid for education materials,” said Mayfield.

Head Keeper, Marge

Woods was the keynote speaker, with animal representative Spot the wolfdog.

The topic during “Zoo Show and Tell” was the number of geriatric animals they maintain at the Spring River Zoo. Spot is 13 years old and the zoo also maintains a number of others including: Bertha the black bear, 27, Betty the bobcat, 17, two bison cows, aged 22 years, a Gemsbok oryx, 19 and a mudjack, 14.

“We are unique in doing this. Most zoos will get rid of animals once they are past their prime. It is a compliment to our zoo staff that we can keep animal alive for so long,” said Woods.

She told Spot’s life story, or as much as they knew of it. “We got him

from Animal Control.

We’ve had him for about 10 years. He was running around loose and Animal Control picked him up.”

Woods explained that he was going “a bit nuts” in the close confinement of Roswell Animal Services and was about to be put down when the Zoo became involved and adopted him.

To make sure that Spot was comfortable in his new home at Spring River Zoo they got another wolfdog mix, named Trinity, from Texas to keep him company.

The event also provided interested members with a flashlight tour.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The debate over whether wildlife managers are doing enough to protect Mexican gray wolves in the Southwest was rekindled Monday with the release of a longawaited federal study that examined the ef fects of furbearer trapping on the endangered animals.

The U.S. Geological Survey conducted the study for the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish after for mer Gov. Bill Richardson issued an executive order last year banning trapping in the wolf recovery area in southwestern New Mexico.

State game commissioners recently voted to lift the ban after the game department made a recommendation based on the study’s findings that trapping accounts for only a fraction of documented wolf injuries and deaths in the recovery area, which spans parts of New Mexico and Arizona.

Environmentalists were critical of the decision to lift the trapping ban since the study had not been released to the public before Monday.

There have been 78 wolf deaths documented since the reintroduction effort began in 1998, according to the study. More than 80 percent of those were human-caused, either by illegal shooting, vehicle collisions, lethal removal by wildlife managers or trapping.

Of 13 documented trapping incidents in New Mexico involving trappers other

than those working for the wolf recovery effort, seven wolves were injured, two had leg amputations and two others died as a result of their injuries.

“The fact that two wolves died in traps was enough to make our jaws drop,” said Wendy Keefover of the group Wild Earth Guardians, which had been seeking the release of the report.

Keefover said the study provides enough evidence that trapping should be banned in the wolf recovery area. WildEarth Guardians’ attor neys are weighing their options, she said.

Jim Lane, chief of the game department’s wildlife management division, said the report supports the agency’s recommendation that the ban be lifted since the impacts to wolves from regulated furbearer trapping were minor.

“The biology behind it is sound. We don’t have any data at all to support the notion that trapping has had a negative impact,” Lane said. “You’ve got cars, you’ve got illegal shootings and even the project-related mortalities were higher than trapping.”

Between 1,100 and 2,000 trapping permits are sold each year in New Mexico, but only about half of those are purchased by hunters who use traps or snares.

Lane explained that anyone interested in harvesting animals that fall under the state’s furbearer regula-

tions, whether they are using rifles or other means, must buy a trapping permit.

Those trapping licenses, along with other fees paid by hunters and anglers, are what pay for conservation and management efforts for animals across the state, Lane said.

The agency is required by state statute to manage New Mexico’s wildlife resources in a sustainable way for hunters and recreationalists.

“What it really boils down to is an emotional and social argument on whether trapping is indeed a management tool that should be allowed or not,” Lane said. “Trapping is a valuable management tool for us.”

The U.S. Geological Survey researchers reviewed annual reports and requested information on wolf trapping incidents from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in evaluating the potential risk to wolves.

Ken Williams, head of the agency’s cooperative research units, called the wolf report an “open, balanced review.”

Joplin man cleared for involvement in West Mesa murders JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — A Joplin businessman who has been cleared for any involvement in a serial killing in New Mexico said having his name attached to the case has been a nightmare that has seriously damaged his reputation.

Police in New Mexico said Ron Erwin, 58, of Joplin is no longer being investigated in the deaths of 11 women whose bodies were discovered in 2009 buried in a desert mesa, The Joplin Globe reported .

Erwin was never charged in the case and Sgt. Tricia Hoffman of the Albuquerque police department would not say why Erwin was investigated. She said the investigation into the deaths continues.

“Why he was a suspect — that’s all in sealed warrants, that’s still part of our pending investigation,” Hoffman said in a phone interview with the Globe. “But, at this point, we’ve been able to eliminate him as a viable suspect.”

Investigator from New Mexico showed up at Erwin’s business in Joplin armed with search warrants in August 2010.

“There’s an old ‘Twilight Zone’ episode,” Erwin said, referring to the fantasy thriller TV series that began in the 1950s,

“where a man wakes up to the world he’s always known and suddenly nobody recognizes him and he’s running around trying to say, ‘Don’t you remember me? I’ve known you for 40 years,’ and all this.

“Well, that’s what my life’s been in that time,” he said during the interview at the office of Joplin attorney Phil Glades.

Albuquerque police have never questioned him in the case, Erwin said.

“They didn’t come here to talk,” he said of the day his properties were searched.

Erwin spent the better part of a year trying to prove his innocence behind the scenes. He hired lawyers in Joplin and New Mexico to advise him, even though he never faced charges. He declined interview requests.

Erwin also went to Alexandria, Va., in December to have a polyexamination graph administered by former FBI polygrapher Barry Colvert. Glades said Colvert determined that Erwin was not being deceptive in his answers regarding the West Mesa murders. The results of that exam were provided to Albuquerque investigators a few months later, Glades said.

NM AG sues over water SANTA FE (AP) — Attorney General Gary King is suing the federal government over a recent order that the state send water from Elephant Butte Reservoir to Texas.

King’s office filed suit Monday against the Bureau of Reclamation, saying it illegally reclassified 65,000 acre feet of New Mexico water on its

accounting sheets so that that water could be sent to the El Paso County Water Improvement District.

King says the action is illegal under the Rio Grande Compact, which sets an allocation system under which N.M., Texas and Mexico share water from Rio Grande.

An Albuquerque police report says investigators were able to determine that Erwin was not in Albuquerque on the days that three of the victims went missing.

Erwin said his interest in New Mexico started in 1996 when a friend recommended that he visit Albuquerque. A budding photographer, Erwin would go to New Mexico three or four times a year to shoot pictures. He made his last trip to Albuquerque in September 2006.

He said it was a coincidence that the West Mesa murders seem to have stopped about the same time he quit going there.

Erwin lost two houses in the May 22 tor nado that struck Joplin. He said coming under suspicion as a possible serial killer has been just as devastating to his personal life.

“There are things that just aren’t going to happen,” he said. “If I wanted to umpire a Little League baseball game, you know, just all sorts of things you don’t even think about, that don’t seem so important, but they are. So my life is different here, and I just need to accept that.

There really isn’t a lot of time for anger. I think it’s ‘I wish it hadn’t happened this way.”’

Fear takes over Wall Street as the Dow plunges NEW YORK (AP) — Fear has taken over on Wall Street.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 634.76 points Monday, the first trading day since Standard & Poor’s downgraded American debt. It was the sixth-worst point decline for the Dow in the last 112 years and the worst drop since December 2008.

Every stock in the S&P 500 index declined.

But the S&P downgrade wasn’t the only catalyst Monday. Investors worried about the slowing U.S. economy, escalating debt problems threatening Europe and the prospect that fear in the markets would reinforce itself, as it did during the financial crisis in the fall of 2008. “‘What’s rocking the market is a growth scare,” said Kathleen Gaffney, comanager of the $20 billion Loomis Sayles bond fund.

“The market is under a lot of stress that really has little to do with the downgrade.” Instead, Gaffney said, investors are focused on worries about another recession and “how Europe and the U.S. are going to work their way out of a high debt burden” if economic growth remains slow.

The Vix, a measure of market volatility and fear among investors, shot up 50 percent. That was its steepest rise since February 2007.

Investors desperately looked for safe places to put their money and settled on U.S. government debt — even though it was the target of the downgrade Friday, when S&P removed the United States from its list of the lowestrisk countries.

The price of Treasurys rose sharply, and yields, which move in the opposite direction from price, plunged. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.34 percent from 2.57 percent Friday. That matches its low for the year, reached last week.

Before last Friday, there was widespread concern that a downgrade would push yields up and increase borrowing costs for the government, businesses and consumers.

“This is largely a flight to safety,” said Thomas Simons, money market economist with Jefferies & Co. “The bond market is really trading off of what’s

going on in the stock market.” Money flowed out of stocks and into Treasurys.

Gold set a record. It rose $61.40 an ounce to settle at $1,713.20.

Crude oil, natural gas and other commodities fell sharply on worries that a weaker global economy will mean less demand. Oil fell 6.4 percent to $81.31 per barrel, its lowest price of the year.

Fear is spreading quickly through the market, said Dimitre Genov, senior portfolio manager with Artio Global Investors. “It’s becoming a vicious cycle and could feed into consumers reducing their demand as well.”

The Dow was down 5.5 percent at 10,809.85. The sharp drop extended Wall Street’s almost uninterrupted decline since late July, when the Dow was flirting with 13,000. It fell below 11,000 for the first time since November.

The S&P 500 fell 79.92, or 6.7 percent, to 1,119.46. The Nasdaq composite index fell 174.72, or 6.9 percent, to 2,357.69.

Trading volume was the highest since September 2008 and the fourth-highest on record. A total of 9.9 billion shares traded, and about 70 stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange.

Stock markets in Asia began Monday’s global rout. The main stock index fell almost 4 percent in South Korea and more than 2 percent in Japan.

European markets opened later and fell, too, with Germany down 5 percent and France 4.7 percent.

In the U.S., stocks fell even as Moody’s, another major credit rating agency, stood by its top rating of AAA for the United States.

It said it could downgrade the U.S. if it doesn’t cut its deficit, “but it is early to conclude that such measures will not be forthcoming.”

Financial markets also did not appear comforted by an afternoon statement

by President Barack Obama, who said Washington needs more “common sense and compromise” to tame its debt.

“Markets will rise and fall,” he said. “But this is the United States of America. No matter what some agency may say, we’ve always been and always

will be a triple-A country.”

S&P, in its downgrade, criticized dysfunction in the American political system. The downgrade was not a total surprise but came when investors were already feeling nervous about the U.S. economy and European debt, among other problems.

Last week, the Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 700 points.

That was its biggest weekly point loss since 2008, during the financial crisis.

Counting Monday, the Dow has dropped in 10 of the last 12 trading days. It is down more than 1,900 points, or 15 percent, since July 21.

The Russell 2000 index of small stocks has now lost nearly 25 percent from its most recent high on April 29. A decline of 10 percent or more is considered to be a correction.

And a drop of 20 percent or more is said to be the start of a bear market.

The Nasdaq and S&P 500 are both down about 18 percent since the end of April. The Dow is down 16 percent.

The last bear market for the S&P 500 ran from October 2007 until March 2009. The index lost 57 percent of its value.

Despite the slide the last two and a half weeks, the S&P 500 index, at 1,119, is 7 percent higher than its close of 1,047 late last August, just before the Federal Reserve announced a program to support the economy. And the Dow’s percentage drop of 5.5 didn’t make the list of its 20 worst days.

S&P on Monday downgraded mortgage lenders Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other agencies linked to long-ter m U.S. debt.

Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mortgages. Their downgrade could eventually mean higher mortgage rates.

Worries about weaker profits that could result from a slowing economy have slammed the financial industry since late July. As a group, financial stocks in the S&P 500 index fell 10 percent on Monday to their lowest level since July 2009.

Bank of America plunged 20.3 percent, to $6.51, after AIG filed suit against the bank. The insurer alleged Bank of America sold it overvalued

mortgage-backed securities. The bank denied the allegations. Its stock is down 51 percent this year, from $13.34.

Stocks in other industries whose profits are closely tied to the strength of the economy also fell sharply. Energy stocks in the S&P 500 fell 8.3 percent, for example.

The smallest losses came in safer industries such as consumer staples whose profits tend to be steady, regardless of the economy. Even in a bad economy people will still buy things like toothpaste and bread.

The Vix, a measure of fear among investors, is up more than 90 percent this month. The index shows how worried investors are that the S&P 500 will drop over the next 30 days. It does that by measuring prices for stock options that investors can buy to help protect their portfolios.

Investors are also worried that Italy and Spain could become the next European countries to have trouble repaying their debts. Greece, Ireland and Portugal have already received bailout loans because of Europe’s 21-month-old debt crisis.

The fears have pushed investors to shun Spanish and Italian bonds, which have led to higher yields

“Our main concer n is that the person living with oil and gas knows what the company is using when they drill and fracture a well in their back yard or on their ranch in New Mexico. That’s just a basic right to know issue,” said Lachelt, whose group has been working on fracking issues in the San Juan Basin since the 1990s.

Lachelt said it will be imperative that any disclosure rule adopted by New Mexico regulators be mandatory.

“It needs to have teeth,”

she said. “We definitely applaud the industry for coming forward. We just want to make sure the issue is addressed in a meaningful manner.”

While the oil and gas industry has worked with regulators and environmentalists in others states to develop disclosure rules, Henke said he believes the association’s proposal marks the first time industry has proposed its own rule.

and in even higher borrowing costs for the two countries.

The European Central Bank stepped in Monday and bought billions of euros worth of their bonds. The move helped to lower yields on Spanish and Italian bonds, at least temporarily.

Seeking to avert panic spreading across financial markets, the finance ministers and central bankers of the Group of 20 industrial and developing nations issued a joint statement Monday saying they were committed to taking all necessary measures to support financial stability and growth.

“We will remain in close contact throughout the coming weeks and cooperate as appropriate, ready to take action to ensure financial stability and liquidity in financial markets,” they said.

Worries about the U.S. economic recovery have been building since the government said that economic growth was far weaker in the first half of 2011 than economists expected.

The economy grew at a 1.3 percent annual rate from April through June, below economists’ expectations. It expanded at just a 0.4 percent rate in the first quarter. The first half of 2011 was the slowest

since the end of the recession.

Then reports showed that the manufacturing and services industries barely grew in July. Job growth was better than economists expected last month. But the 117,000 jobs created in July were still well below the 215,000 that employers added in February, March and April, on average.

The Federal Reserve will meet on Tuesday, but economists don’t expect much to come out of the meeting. The central bank’s key interest rate is already at a record of nearly zero, where it has been since 2008.

The Fed has also already said that it plans to keep rates low for “an extended period.” Chairman Ben Bernanke said last month that the Fed could step in to help the economy if it further weakened.

Fears about a weaker U.S. economy have overshadowed the profit growth that companies have reported for the second quarter. For the 441 companies in the S&P 500 that have already reported, earnings rose 12 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier. Revenue growth has also topped 10 percent for the first time in a year.

NM oil and gas industry seek more disclosure of fracturing fluids used ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Looking to avoid the criticism that has dogged energy producers in other states, a New Mexico industry group introduced a proposal Monday that would require drilling companies to be more transparent when it comes to using hydraulic fracturing fluids to extract oil and gas.

The New Mexico Oil and Gas Association filed its proposed rule with the state Oil Conservation Division on Monday. Under the proposal, companies would have to disclose the makeup of their fracturing fluids by posting them on an online registry.

“We feel it’s safe and the best practices we’re using with casing and cementing do adequately protect groundwater. We just want to be proactive in terms of disclosure,” said Steve Henke, president of the association. “We want to respond proactively to the concer n that has been expressed in other parts of the country.”

Hydraulic fracking involves pumping a highpressure mix of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to crack rock formations so oil and gas can be extracted. Companies have been tight-lipped about their fracking formulas, saying the contents are

proprietary. However, environmentalists and other critics argue the chemicals could be tainting groundwater sources.

The Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a study of the process and proposals are pending in Congress that would give the agency authority to regulate the fluids and require drillers to disclose all of the chemicals used.

While some companies operating in New Mexico voluntarily disclose the makeup of their fluids, Henke said his association wants to make it an industry practice.

The group expects the Oil Conservation Division to schedule public hearings on the proposal later this year.

Watchdog groups say they are pleased New Mexico’s producers see the need to address disclosure, but they say there’s room to make the proposal stronger.

For instance, the proposal does not require disclosure until 45 days after the completion or hydraulic fracturing of a well. There are also concer ns that some chemicals in the formulas could be kept secret for competitive reasons, said Gwen Lachelt, director of Earthworks’ Oil and Gas Accountability Project.

New Mexico have undergone fracturing, and Henke contends there have been no documented cases of contamination from the practice.

He said the ability of the industry to continue using horizontal drilling and fracking techniques will be vital as developers are required to limit their environmental footprint while accessing harder-to-reach resources.

“It makes previously unavailable resources economic to develop,” he said, adding that oil and gas

development is responsible for generating a substantial portion of the state’s revenues. For next year’s budget, that figure is projected to be $1.6 billion in rents, royalties and taxes, he said.

“If we have a healthy oil and gas industry, it improves the state’s financial situation and if we can do that in an environmentally responsible manner, we feel like we’re in a good place,” he said.

OPINION

No urgency seen from state’s economic developer

Seven months after his nomination as economic development secretary, four months after his boss and state lawmakers failed to make jobs a priority in the legislative session, and one month after the state posted the first pathetic job growth after 32 straight months of losses, Jon Barela is traveling the state to hold job creation meetings.

He’s hit the ground walking.

It’s also four months after announcing the results of his task force to sound out small business people, which Lt. Gov. John Sanchez had already done back in December. Because the gover nor couldn’t wait to get Sanchez out of her hair, maybe his report didn’t filter down to Barela.

Meanwhile, the Association of Commerce and Industry, a reliable voice for business in the state, is advancing a jobs plan.

Looking at what other states have

done, ACI produced proposals, which if passed during the special session, could jump start New Mexico’s economy, said the group’s president, Beverlee McClure, during a recent talk.

(See http://www.acinm.org/) They include passing the $238 million capital outlay bill that died on the last day of the session, which will help the hardhit construction sector; passing the in-state pr efer ence bill; offering an 18-month severance tax holiday for new oil and gas wells, which the state did to good effect in 1999; repealing

Roswell Daily Record

the Environmental Improvement Board’s greenhouse gas regulations, which are the most stringent in the nation.

Also on the list is the single sales factor, an approach used by 32 states. The state would tax multi-state corporations’ income based on their sales in New Mexico. ACI considers single sales an incentive for companies that sell outside the state to invest in additional capacity.

Another proposal would allow start-up businesses to avoid corporate or personal income taxes for the first profitable year and receive 50 percent deductions for two years after that.

Because access to capital is a hurdle, especially in rural areas, a new business could use money it would otherwise pay in taxes as investment capital for growth and job creation.

And ACI would like to see a tax incentive patterned after the federal HIRE Act, which ended

in December, for any business hiring an unemployed New Mexican.

These are all proposals that could take the form of bills in the special session. Barela’s jobs tour also has the goal of new legislation, but for the 2012 session instead. While it’s instructive for him to get out of Santa Fe and talk to employers around the state, his r esponse in Roswell is telling.

One company wanted help with permitting, another needed a rail spur, and others complained about construction codes and liquor licenses. The latter is heard with such frequency, it’s becoming obvious that we need another liquor reform bill.

Barela said he would make sure their issues are heard at the state level, according to the Roswell Daily Record. Then he punted: “I can only do so much and the governor can only do so

much to try to get our economy moving again in the state. But when you have a wet blanket being thrown on economic development at the national level ...”

Boo hoo. Give the secretary a hanky.

The governor and Barela could do plenty, but they’ve taken a pass. During a speech in May, the governor was long on drama and short on specifics. “Gov. Rick Perry, I’m coming back for our jobs you’ve taken from New Mexico!”

While the administration has moved on regulation, there’s no sense of urgency on jobs. In June New Mexico was 36th nationally in job creation, but Texas was fourth, Utah was fifth, and Colorado was 29th.

ACI asked, “How do we put people back to work?” It’s a question the gover nor and Barela should have asked from day one.

And answered long before this. © New Mexico News Services 2011

EDITORIAL

Sinking faster than we can bail

Tea party conservatives are being told to accept their victory and go home. It has become a favorite refrain of the ruling class in Washington and its scribes in the media.

“The winner is the tea party,” said conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer on Fox News. “They have changed the debate in the country. I think they ought to do what (former Vermont governor and senator) George Aiken advocated in the worst days of the Vietnam War: Declare victory and go home. There will be another fight a year from now. Obama is losing it, and I think that’s where the big payoff will be, and that’s when the country will decide what it wants to do about debt and also about the size of government.”

That, unfortunately, may not be the case. If it is not, we’re in big trouble. The deal to reduce federal spending is a shallow win at best, and the country is in for more big spending as usual.

According to a front-page article in Wednesday’s New York Times: “(The debtlimit deal) does not actually reduce federal spending. By the end of the 10-year deal, the federal debt would be much larger than it is today.”

The article goes on to explain that government and its debts will continue to grow faster than the economy pinning most of the blame on federal spending for health care.

That’s The New York Times, stating as a fact that our economy cannot keep up with federal spending even after tea party freshmen in Congress supposedly terrorized the country until they got their way.

The story said that an obvious solution might be the tax increases tea party members of Congress held at bay — much to the annoyance of Obama. It did not just say that we are sinking into debt too fast.

According to the story, “Debts will grow faster than the economy.” That means the economy may not be able to afford these debts, even with tax increases. We cannot tax an economy out of that which it does not produce, and taxes curb production.

No sane individual wants the country to default on its obligations, but there is no easy escape from this financial crisis.

Something has to give.

As Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said, we have jumped off a cliff. “At best, it slows us from going over it at 80 mph to going over it at 60 mph,” Paul wrote in an open letter explaining his opposition to the debt-limit deal.

Eventually, we will get serious one way or another. We will finally get this under control by the will of Congress and the president, or we will do so by the unavoidable forces that stop governments big and small from living grossly beyond the means of the people who support them.

Guest Editorial The Jacksonville (N.C.) Daily News DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a 72-year-old female and have been diagnosed with rotoscoliosis. The doctor explained how my back was rotating.

My doctor sent to me physical therapy. After six weeks they told me they were through. It didn’t help me. I have been going to a chiropractor on a regular basis, as well.

When I asked my doctor about rotoscoliosis, he said, “You better hope you are brain dead or in a rest home when it worsens.” Needless to say, I didn’t want to hear that.

What can you tell me about this? Can anything be done? I have good bones and go in annually for checkups.

Something very disquieting just happened in our country.

People had a dazed look of shock when you asked them how they felt about the drama of the debt-ceiling crisis.

Shock — and anger.

Tamara Draut of Demos, a policy think tank in New York City, said the congressional maneuvering was such a disappointment because “all of America is so hungry for leadership on the jobs crisis, and people know it is the only real way to deal with the deficit.”

Then she added, “It was a manufactured crisis driven by ideology.”

Aug. 9, 2011 • Seven Scouts from Roswell completed a nearly two-week stay recently at the Philmont Scout Ranch. The seven — Chris Brewington, Clint Coalson, Waverly Dugger, John Mathews, Logan Mitchell, Matt Pickle and Whitney Smelser — are among more than 15,000 scouting men and women expected to hike Philmont’s trails this summer. Philmont, operated by the Boy Scouts of America, is the world’s largest camping facility, covering 214 square miles. The group was under the adult leadership of Larry Coalson and Richard Pickle. During their 12-day stay at Philmont, the Scouts backpacked between 50 and 100 miles and visited several of the ranch’s 25 mountain camps. At these camps they were instructed in such things as rock climbing, western lore, fly fishing, lumbering, ecology and conservation.

Book reveals love letters of O’Keeffe, Stieglitz

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — It was a relationship built on white-hot passion, nearly shattered on a fault line of freedom and creativity.

National Gallery of Art photography curator Sarah Greenough leafed through 25,000 pieces of paper exchanged by Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz to produce “My Faraway One: The Letters of Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz, Volume I, 19151933,” (Yale University Press, 2011) an 800-page tome as big as the Chicago phone book. Despite its girth, the book represents just one-tenth of their correspondence during this period.

Greenough was at the New Mexico Museum of Art on Aug. 3 to talk about the book.

When Stieglitz and O’Keeffe met in 1916, he was 52 and already considered the nucleus of the New York art world. She was an unknown 28-year-old Texas art teacher.

The book traces the pair’s correspondence — hers in squiggles and curlicues, his in thick black lines — across their relationship.

Stieglitz became entranced by her work when introduced to it by O’Keeffe’s friend Anita Pollitzer.

The couple frequently exchanged three to four letters a day. They were sealed, at O’Keeffe’s request, for 20 years after her death.

At first, O’Keeffe comes across as a smitten schoolgirl turned giddy by the attentions of a powerful man. Stieglitz, alternately charismatic, egotistical and narcissistic, yearned for a woman artist after spending years in a miserable first marriage.

“You can see them really starting to fall in love,” Greenough said.

Stieglitz, the man who had introduced Constantin Brancusi,

Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to the U.S., had long been searching for a great woman artist. He was convinced he had found one in O’Keeffe.

“In the early letters, you see him just getting to know her,” Greenough said. “I think he strongly wanted to encourage her art. Yet, eventually in the correspondence, his fascination with her as a woman artist gets transferred into his fascination of her as a woman.”

By 1916, Stieglitz was writing letters that were 20 to 30 pages long.

As O’Keeffe was about to return to Texas in 1917, he wrote to her: “How I wanted to photograph you — the hands — the mouth — & eyes — & the enveloped in black body — the touch of white — & the throat — but I didn’t want to break into your time.”

Before O’Keeffe moved to New York in 1918, he wrote, “What do I want from you? —Sometimes I feel I’m going stark mad — That I ought to say.”

“They pretty much fell in love through their correspondence,” Greenough said.

Stieglitz found and cleaned a small studio for O’Keeffe. They began living together almost immediately and married in 1924.

By the mid-’20s, cracks start to snake through their bond. O’Keeffe desperately wanted a child; Stieglitz — already the father of a daughter — did not. She wanted to travel; he was a dedicated New Yorker. At first, the couple lived with Stieglitz’s brother and his wife. O’Keeffe later wrote that “living with the brother and the wife had all the emotional warmth of a cold, damp cellar.”

The family also intruded on her time to paint.

“And she wanted to live a more independent life than Stieglitz wanted her to,” Greenough said.

Thanks in no small part to Stieglitz’s promotion, O’Keeffe became a famous artist. Restless, she made the trip that would transform both their lives.

In 1929, O’Keeffe traveled to New Mexico to visit Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos. She discovered a vast expanse of land and light that would flood her canvas. She was surrounded by a circle of artists and intellectuals, including Tony Lujan, D.H. Lawrence and Dorothy Brett.

“This really isn’t like anything you ever saw,” she wrote to Stieglitz from Taos in 1929.

“Mabel’s place beats anything you can imagine about it — it is simply astonishing.”

The letters offer glimpses of O’Keeffe’s take on her own paintings: “I hate the back of my Ranchos church — Tomorrow I must get out at it again — It is heavy — I want it to be light and lovely and singing.”

The cascading letters reveal the couple’s contrasting writing styles. Stieglitz’s is flowing and poetic, teeming with imagery.

O’Keef fe paired phrases with squiggles and loops. “It’s almost as if she was sketching out an idea.” Greenough said. “O’Keeffe is very lucid and very sharply rendered, like her paintings are distilled down to their essence.”

“Neither one of them cared about sending carefully crafted letters,” she added. “They’re very immediate and free-flowing.”

Greenough first met O’Keeffe through photographs — the sparsely iconic black-and-white images by Stieglitz, the subject of the curator’s dissertation. Gree-

O’Keeffe asked Greenough to edit their correspondence. She annotated each letter with a “yes” or a “no” for publication.

“When I met her, it was an extremely different person than the one in the photographs,” Greenough said. “She had a very dry wit and a real twinkle in her eyes. She was definitely a strongwilled person.”

at a feeble 0.8 percent annual pace the first half of 2011, its slowest since the end of the Great Recession in June 2009. Manufacturing and consumer spending have slowed dramatically.

Oil prices plunged 6 percent to the lowest price of the year Monday — $81.31 a barrel. Investors predict a weakening economy means that consumers and businesses will buy less gasoline.

The turmoil in the U.S. markets was the end of a daylong rout that swept the world. Stocks lost 4 percent in South Korea and 2 percent in Japan, then 5 percent in Germany and 4 percent in France.

In the U.S., stocks fell even though Moody’s, another major credit rating agency, stood by its top rating of AAA for the United States. It said it could downgrade the U.S. if it did not cut its deficit, “but it is early to conclude that such measures will not be forthcoming.”

angle, citing the long standoff between President Barack Obama and Congress as a key factor in its unprecedented downgrade of the government’s credit rating.

“We think the debacle over raising the debt ceiling is one illustration of that,” John Chambers, head of S&P’s debt rating committee, said on Monday. He said that the political gridlock and S&P’s analysis of a rising U.S. debt burden in coming years prompted the downgrade.

Yet the credit-rating industry itself has been harshly criticized since the financial crisis of 20082009, and S&P’s downgrade seems certain to increase congressional scrutiny.

The company was hardly revealing anything that wasn’t already well known by financial markets, politicians, analysts and probably most everyday Americans: The divisive political atmosphere in Washington has been leading to near-paralysis.

State witnesses for ballistics and DNA evidence were available during the trial. He informed Judge Currier that the charges, shooting at or from an occupied dwelling, had been dropped.

GENERAL noon statement by President Barack Obama, who said Washington needs more “common sense and compromise” to tame its debt.

“Markets will rise and fall,” he said. “But this is the United States of America. No matter what some agency may say, we’ve always been and always will be a triple-A country.”

Across the Atlantic, policymakers struggled to contain a debt crisis of their own. The threat of default has spread from relatively small countries like Greece and Portugal to bigger ones — Italy and Spain.

If those countries failed to meet their debt payments, Italian and Spanish banks would absorb losses on their holdings of their countries’ gover nment bonds.

Then the pain could spread outward — to foreign banks that made loans to Spanish or Italian banks and beyond.

The European Central Bank stepped in Monday, buying billions of euros’ worth of Italian and Spanish bonds to drive down dangerously high interest rates. But the move does nothing to address the qualified to make political as well as economic judgments?

“We didn’t need a rating agency to tell us that we need a balanced long-term approach to deficit reduction. That was true last week. That was true last year. That was true the day I took office,” Obama said Monday in his first remarks on the subject since the downgrade.

“And we didn’t need a rating agency to tell us that the gridlock in Washington over the last several months has not been constructive, to say the least.”

But, he said, Washington has the power to fix its own political dysfunction.

Further more, Obama asserted, “No matter what some agency may say, we’ve always been and always will be a triple-A country.”

Making its own judgments, Wall Street dumped stocks all day long. The Dow Jones industrials closed down 634.76 points — or 5.5 percent — in the first day of trading since the S&P downgrade.

underlying problem: huge Italian and Spanish debts that could require a bailout and strain the resources of the European Union.

S&P added to the anxieties Friday night by downgrading long-term U.S. government debt — Treasury securities with maturities of more than a year — by one notch, from AAA to AA+.

Then on Monday, it downgraded the credit ratings of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other government agencies that rely on the creditworthiness of the federal government.

In withdrawing the top credit rating, S&P blamed political paralysis in Washington. Republicans and Democrats agree on the need to reduce massive annual budget deficits that have left the United States holding $14.3 trillion in debt. But they can’t agree how to do it. Republicans refuse to raise tax revenues, and Democrats resist cuts to social programs such as Medicare and Social Security.

But in their first opportunity to buy long-term Treasurys after S&P declared them riskier, investors paid a premium for them. The

yield on 10-year Treasury bonds fell to 2.34 percent Monday from 2.56 percent Friday as investors bid prices up.

“What you’re seeing amply demonstrated today is that, should there be any question about the stability of the global economic backdrop, the U.S. dollar rises in value, and Treasurys are still the pre-eminent flight-to-quality security in the world markets,” said Robert T ipp, chief investment strategist with Prudential Fixed Income.

The drop in T reasury yields signals that investors are more worried about slowing growth than they are about the credit risk posed by the U.S. government. Investors showed Monday that nothing has shaken their confidence that the U.S. will pay its creditors.

Many investors flee to Treasurys when there are signs economic growth is deteriorating. Steven Major, a strategist at HSBC Bank, said 10-year yields could drop as low as 2 percent if the U.S. stumbles back into recession. It fell as low as 2.06 percent during the financial crisis in 2008.

S&P’s decision does pose

tence to evaluate the country’s finances, based on their own performance prior to the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

S&P predicated its downgrade “on the theory that Washington might deliberately refuse to pay its debt because of a political impasse. But I don’t know what makes them experts at this,” said Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., a member of the House Financial Services Committee.

“S&P’s main job is rating private issuers, and they have some expertise in that, although obviously they got it pretty wrong in mortgage-backed securities,” Sherman said.

“I find it interesting to see S&P so vigilant now in downgrading the U.S. credit rating,” said Sen. Ber nie Sanders, I-Vt. “Where were they four years ago?”

Leading up to the financial meltdown in 2008, S&P and its sister creditrating agencies gave coveted AAA ratings to some of the very mortgage-backed securities that later became nearly worthless, leading to staggering losses for many investors and funds. Also, the rating

agencies had awarded top ratings to some of the financial firms that failed.

That gave them a black eye, and some analysts have suggested the S&P downgrade of U.S. debt was partly an ef fort to restore some of the lost confidence in the agencies’ ratings.

Stephen Hess, a former presidential adviser and a senior fellow emeritus in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, said S&P’s political discourse caught him by surprise.

“It suggests either that those of us on the outside either don’t understand what rating services do, or that there’s a new style there,” Hess said. “I felt I was reading a political judgment from an organization that I expected only gave financial judgments or economic judgments. It went well beyond the question of data.”

But Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist with HIS Global Insight, based in Lexington, Mass., said he saw no problem with rating agencies delving into political matters.

“If they’re looking at Greece, for instance, they’ve got to consider whether or not the politi-

aged last week on the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe.

one risk, said Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs’ chief economist: It could force the U.S. gover nment to cut spending and reduce its budget deficit faster than it would otherwise.

Hatzius is already forecasting that cuts in government spending could reduce U.S. growth by 1 percentage point in 2012.

Overall, the U.S. economy is likely to grow a meager 2 percent to 2.5 percent through next year, Hatzius said in a conference call Monday.

But the pressure on policymakers to reduce government deficits could lead to additional steps that will slow growth. For example, the White House and Congress could allow a cut in Social Security taxes to expire at the end of this year, as scheduled. That could subtract another one-half percentage point from the economy’s growth rate, Hatzius said, and raise the risk of a recession.

Gover nment spending cuts, especially at the state and local level, are already a drag on economic growth.

From April through June, public cuts lowered economic growth, which was cal system is able to take the action to stabilize debt,” said Gault. “You’re not looking at pure economics here because fiscal policy decisions are political decisions.”

Further more, Gault said, “there could be a default not because you can’t pay but because you choose not to pay. We got quite close to that.”

Neel Kashkari, a managing director at bond-fund giant PIMCO, said the recent budget deal made none of the hard choices that will be needed to bring the gover nment’s budget closer to balance.

Kashkari, who earlier ran the government’s $700 billion bank bailout fund, told CNBC: “Until Republicans and Democrats show an ounce of backbone and do what’s in the interest of the American people, rather than what’s in their own immediate political interest, I can’t argue with S&P’s conclusion.”

Standard & Poor’s Financial Services is a subsidiary of The McGrawHill Companies, which publishes financial research and analysis on stocks and bonds. Tracing its roots back to the 1860s, S&P is also known

running at a weak 1.3 percent annual rate, by 0.23 percentage points.

Since the federal government seems unlikely to do much to stimulate the economy, attention is turning again to the Federal Reserve, which meets Tuesday.

Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist at Channel Capital Research, said the weakening economy and international turmoil mean the odds have “increased substantially” that the Fed will ultimately announce a new round of bond purchases designed to jolt the economy by pushing down long-term interest rates. The Fed ended a $600 billion bondbuying program in June.

“What’s rocking the market is a growth scare,” said Kathleen Gaffney, co-manager of the $20 billion Loomis Sayles bond fund.

She said the market is worried not about the downgrade but about how the U.S. and Europe will grow their way out of their debt problems.

“The gravity of the situation won’t be dealt with until the market continues to riot to get their attention,” she said. for its stock index of 500 large U.S. companies.

The other two major credit-ratings agencies, Moody’s Investor Service and Fitch ratings, also have war ned of downgrades. But they have not joined S&P in doing so — for now.

The S&P action could lead to higher interest rates by making Treasury bills and bonds less attractive.

However, in practice, interest rates on T reasurys are already so low — and globally there are few safe-haven alternatives — that many analysts suggest it unlikely the downgrade would significantly affect the interest rates the U.S. government pays on its $14.3 trillion in debt.

The largest foreign holders of U.S debt — China and Japan — have not signaled plans to dump their U.S. securities. Still, China strongly condemned America’s “addiction to debts.”

It was federal debt that got downgraded — U.S. bonds — but so far stocks are taking the biggest hit.

PRC commissioner suspect in stolen car case

Police told KOB-TV Monday that Block is accused of test driving a used Honda from Capitol City Auto and never returning it. Police say the car was missing for three weeks before it was found undam-

State Democratic Party chairman Javier Gonzales called for Block’s resignation last week after the state Court of Appeals reinstated charges alleging he misused campaign money from his 2008 race and the state auditor said he is looking into potential abuse of his state-issued gasoline card.

KOB-TV reported last week that it had reviewed PRC records and found more than 50 questionable charges on Block’s gas

account, including several purchases on the same day at stations in the Santa Fe and Espanola areas. The station reported Saturday it learned those charges were made while Block’s driver’s license was suspended.

Attorney General Gary King’s office confirmed Friday that its special agents had searched Block’s state vehicle, but a spokesman for King declined to provide any details of the agency’s investigation.

Block represents PRC District 3, which includes Santa Fe and much of

north-central and northeastern New Mexico. He is up for election next year.

“I wouldn’t abuse state property or abuse a position that people have entrusted me to do that,” Block told KOB on Thursday.

State Auditor Hector Balderas, a Democrat, said in a statement that he’s “very concerned that taxpayer resources may have been abused” and was taking steps to “ensure that this matter is fully reviewed and audited.”

Religious groups object to covering birth control Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — They defied the bishops to support President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Now Catholic hospitals are dismayed the law may force them to cover birth control free of charge to their employees.

A provision in the law expanded preventive health care benefits for women, and the administration said last week that must include birth control with no copays. The Catholic Health Association says a proposed conscience exemption is so narrowly written it would apply only to houses of worship. Some other religious-based organizations agree.

“I call this the parish housekeeper exemption — that’s about all it covers,” said Sister Carol Keehan, president of the 600-member umbrella group for Catholic hospitals. “What we are trying to do is make workable the conscience protection the administration says it is willing to give.”

Most Catholic hospitals do not cover birth control for their employees, Keehan said, but in some cases they are required to by state law. Doctors caring for patients at the hospitals are not restricted from prescribing birth control.

The Health and Human Services Department is asking for public comment on its proposed conscience clause before making a final decision, expected later this year.

Polls show that Americans overwhelmingly support greater access to birth control, which medical experts say promotes well-being by allowing women to adequately space their pregnancies. For example, a survey earlier this year by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute found that 89 percent of Catholic women favored expanding access to birth control for women who cannot afford it, with 8 percent opposed.

Birth control use is virtually universal in the U.S., according to the government.

Women’s rights groups are opposed to any conscience exemption, pointing out that it’s not specifically authorized by the health care law.

“All women do use contraception at some point in their lives, and we think it should be available to them as a preventive health service,” said Judy Waxman, vice president for health and reproductive rights at the National Women’s Law Center. That includes women who work for Catholic hospitals and for the church itself, Waxman added.

Conscience exemptions are a common component of legislation that creates tension with religious mores. In this case, the Health and Human Services Department says the administration picked language used by states that require health insurers to cover contraception as a prescription benefit. Spokesman Richard Sorian said the administration is open to considering alternatives.

“We look forward to hearing from the public as we work to strike the balance between providing access to proven prevention and respecting religious beliefs,” Sorian said. The coverage requirement doesn’t take effect right away.

The administration’s proposed exemption defines a religious employer as one whose purpose is to instill religious values, which primarily employs and serves

people who share its religious tenets, and which is nonprofit.

Three of those four tests don’t work for Catholic hospitals and their 640,000 employees, said Keehan.

“Catholic hospitals have never discriminated about employment,” she explained. Likewise, the 5.6 million patients they admit annually can be of any religious faith, or none. And while patients might see a crucifix, they’re not going to get a sermon.

It’s not just Catholic hospitals that would be ineligible for an exemption, said Jeanne Monahan, a policy expert at the conservative Family Research Council. “Any religious group that is not focused on proselytizing will not

receive this exemption,” she said. “Educational institutions, groups that are focused on serving the homeless, feeding the hungry, they won’t receive it.”

Law professor Nicholas Cafardi of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, an expert on tax exempt organizations, said he agrees the administration’s current definition is too narrow. He suggested a more liberal standard employed in the federal tax code might be part of a compromise. Duquesne is a Catholic institution.

In the critical final stages of the congressional health care debate last year, Catholic hospitals broke with the bishops to support passage of the legislation. While the bishops contended the bill would open the way for taxpayer -supported abortions, Keehan said her analysis indicated it would not, a view recently seconded by a federal judge.

In an interview, Keehan indicated she still supports the expansion of health insurance coverage under Obama’s law.

“I’m not a blast-out kind of person,” she said. “I’m saying (to the administration) thank you very much for this exemption, but it’s not broad enough. We’d like to talk to you, and we hope you’ll listen.”

PATERNO IN HOSPITAL AFTER COLLISION AT TEAM PRACTICE

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Joe Paterno was hospitalized and undergoing tests on his right arm and hip after a player ran into the 84-year-old coach during practice.

Paterno was admitted Sunday evening to Mount Nittany Medical Center after he walked away from the collision with a receiver, the school said Monday.

Receiver Devon Smith was running a drill on the offensive side of the field when he blindsided the Hall of Fame coach, who was watching the defense.

“I expect to be back at practice soon,” Paterno said in a statement. “I’m doing fine; tell everyone not to worry about me.”

Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli, Penn State director of athletic medicine, said it does not appear surgery will be required. The school said Paterno could be released in the next 24 hours.

Doctors were evaluating his shoulder and pelvis, and there was no firm diagnosis yet on the extent of the injuries, said a person Monday night familiar with the team who requested anonymity because no one was authorized to speak about his condition.

JoePa, notorious for his stubbornness and pain threshold, walked away from the collision and stayed on his feet for the rest of the practice period before being encouraged to get checked out by a doctor.

Paterno conducted Monday morning’s coaches meeting by phone from the hospital, according to Penn State. Assistant coaches will be running practice while Paterno is gone and it was unclear how long that would be, athletic department spokesman Jeff Nelson said in an email.

Practice resumed Monday as scheduled, with the team in full pads for the first time this summer.

Football media day, originally scheduled for Thursday, was postponed.

Paterno is entering his 46th season as Penn State’s head coach and is the winningest coach in the history of major college football with 401 victories.

Paterno signed a threeyear contract extension in late 2008 that runs out after this season, but Paterno’s status at Penn State hardly seems reliant on a contract these days. Penn State has no public plans in place to shift leadership of the program.

Denver’s QB quandary continues Section

Invaders claim win

LAS CRUCES — The Roswell Invaders jumped out to a 9-0 lead through six innings and were never threatened en route to a 10-3 win over the Las Cruces Vaqueros, Monday, at Apodoca Park.

The Invaders scored twice in both the second and third innings, then added three in the fifth and two more in the sixth for the 9-0 advantage.

The Vaqueros cracked the board in the seventh with a pair of runs, before each team scored once in the ninth to provide the final margin.

Josh Cakebread went 4 for 5 with two RBIs and two runs scored for the Invaders, while Kevin Hoef was 3 for 4 with two runs and Joey Friedman was 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Mike McCravey (4-3) gave up three runs and struck out seven in a complete game six-hitter to get the win.

E-mail: sports@roswell-record.com

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have a quarterback quandary on their hands even if it’s not panning out as much of a competition.

It features constant critiques and criticisms and more tweets than touchdowns.

And it boils down to this: Tim Tebow is much more popular, Kyle Orton is much more polished.

If Orton is disappointed about not being traded, he isn’t showing it. He just keeps his head down and completes throw after throw in practice, directing an offense that’s more balanced and beefier than last year’s version.

Tebow isn’t making much noise on the football field but nevertheless keeps finding himself in the news.

Two weeks ago, Orton was on the trading block and Tebow had to figure this was his team, especially after All-Pro receiver Brandon Lloyd came out and said he had prepared all offseason to catch passes from the second-year lefty who won a national title and Heisman trophy at Florida.

Orton showed up the next day for the team meeting, however, and within 48 hours, the Miami Dolphins had decided to go in another direction.

No deal.

So, the Broncos were left with Orton’s $9 million contract and a pretty good quarterback.

Orton was greeted by cheers from just three fans when he stepped onto the field for the Broncos’ first practice under new coach John Fox. Tebow followed minutes later and was showered with love — until the snaps started.

Orton, a seventh-year pro who has 61 career starts, was spot-on in his decisions and his darts. He was polished and precise.

Although he’d been working exclusively under center and out of his comfort zone in the shotgun, Tebow’s motion and mechanics were still clunky, and he still tended to tuck and run when his primary read was covered.

That mentality doesn’t translate well from college to the pros, and it’s something the Broncos are once again trying to get Tebow to shake.

Before long, Orton was getting almost all the first-team snaps. The depth chart for Thursday night’s preseason opener at Dallas has Orton listed No. 1, followed by Tebow and then Brady Quinn, who appears to be pushing Tebow for the No. 2 job.

John Elway, the Broncos’ Hall of Fame quarterback and new chief of football operations, said back in January that a long lockout would hurt Tebow more than anyone on the roster.

Although Tebow worked out like crazy, as evidenced by his bulging biceps, the protracted labor impasse kept him from working with the new coaching staff to refine his messy mechanics.

Orton doesn’t excite the masses quite like Tebow, who penned an autobiography at age 23 and has been all over Madison Avenue

Felix Jones ready for role as Cowboys’ featured back

AP Photo

In this July 31 file photo, Cowboys running back Felix Jones carries the ball during a drill at a team practice. With the Cowboys’ release of Marion Barber, Jones will take over as the team’s featured running back during the 2011 season.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Felix Jones is finally going into a season as the featured running back. He’s waited quite a while for this opportunity.

Jones spent most of his first three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys either playing behind Marion Barber or dealing with a series of nagging injuries.

And even before that, Jones shared the same collegiate backfield in Arkansas with Darren McFadden, who was drafted fourth overall by Oakland in 2008. The Cowboys got Jones 18 picks later in the first round of the same draft.

“We’ve seen a maturation process of Felix really since he’s gotten here,” coach Jason Garrett said. “The more and more he’s been here I think the more he’s shown that he’s able to be a durable every-down back. ... He’s clearly taken on the mentality that ‘I’m the featured guy,’ and that’s a

good thing.”

With Barber gone after being released by Dallas last month and Jones healthy, there is now no question about who the Cowboys are depending on to be their primary runner.

“You’ve got to be patient.

I’ve definitely been blessed to be here, and God put me in a great position,” Jones said. “All I can do is maximize my opportunities.”

Tashard Choice, the other part of last season’s running back trio, has been out since sustaining a calf injury at the start of training camp. He could be out a couple of more weeks.

Jones played in all 16 games for the first time last season, when he got a chance to be the starter seven of the last eight games. He finished as the Cowboys’ top rusher with 800 yards and caught 48 passes for 450 yards and a touchdown.

A big win for Adam Scott, and Tiger’s ex-caddie

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Adam Scott won his first World Golf Championship.

No one celebrated more than his caddie.

Steve Williams attributed Sunday at the Bridgestone Invitational to destiny. This was the first tournament for Tiger Woods in three months because of his injured left leg, and Woods’ first tournament since he fired Williams as his caddie after 12 years.

Williams was irritated at getting cut loose, and he made that clear in an interview with a New Zealand television station two weeks ago when he said he had wasted the past two years of his life sticking by Woods through all his trouble.

If that wasn’t enough of an indication, one only had to see the smile on his face as the fans chanted Williams’ name walking to the 18th green. Or the way he pumped his fist when Scott holed a 5-foot birdie on the final hole for a four-shot victory.

And the interviews — yes, interviews — that Williams gave after Scott signed for a 5-under 65.

Williams has only spoken to a few reporters he knows over the years, but he had so many media around him after the tournament ended that all anyone could see was the Titleist cap — not the familiar

Nike “TW” brand — on his head.

Woods shot a 70 to tie for 37th, 18 shots behind, and his interview transcript was only 1 1⁄2 pages. Williams didn’t hit a shot all day and a transcript of his interview was nearly twice as long.

Even more shocking was how Williams described the feeling.

“I’ve caddied for 33 years — 145 wins now — and that’s the best win I’ve ever had,” Williams told CBS Sports on the 18th green. This from a guy whose 12 years working for Woods featured 13 majors and 16 world titles among 72 wins worldwide. That includes the 2001 Masters, when Woods won an unprecedented fourth straight major.

Scott didn’t seem to mind that Williams’ comment became a bigger story than the 31-year-old Australian going the final 26 holes without a bogey for a win that moved him up to No. 9 in the world.

Told about Williams’ comment that this was his best week as a caddie, Scott smiled and winced.

“He’s obviously really happy to get a win,” he said.

As for the distraction? Scott is used to it

Football NFL Notebook

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan has apologized to his bosses, teammates, fans and even the media for bolting training camp. He also says he left because he was upset over talks for an extension, not the personal issue he mentioned defending himself on Twitter.

Finnegan said Monday after practice he understands he was a distraction to his team that wasn’t needed. He says he let emotions get the best of him when he wanted to meet with his wife and discuss contract talks that he hopes will allow him to retire with Tennessee.

The cornerback reported back for camp before curfew Sunday night, and he talked with new coach Mike Munchak on Monday.

Munchak says Finnegan will be fined, and the cornerback says he will willingly pay.

——— OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to terms with veteran running back Ricky Williams.

The Ravens announced the deal on Monday, pending Williams passing a physical Tuesday.

Williams played for the Miami Dolphins last season. The 34-year-old split time with Ronnie Brown in Miami and averaged 4.2 yards per carry. He rushed for 673 yards and scored two touchdowns.

With the Ravens, Williams will play behind starter Ray Rice.

Williams has rushed for 9,569 career yards and 68 touchdowns, recording 325 receptions for 2,523 yards and eight touchdowns.

——— NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL is showing appreciation for its fans after the lockout by having each team present a personalized jersey to 90 supporters.

Some teams will have the 90 fans run through the tunnel flanked by players and coaches during a preseason game. Other clubs will hold a pregame ceremony before an exhibition.

The Green Bay Packers kicked off the program Saturday during a special practice and scrimmage at Lambeau Field.

In a release announcing the program Monday, Commissioner Roger Goodell said: “This is an opportunity to recognize the millions of fans for their dedication and passion for the NFL, its teams and players throughout the year.”

——— FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots have signed free agent defensive ends Shaun Ellis and Andre Carter.

Ellis is a two-time Pro Bowl selection who has played 11 years for the New York Jets. Carter played 10 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and the Washington Redskins.

Both are former first-round draft picks.

Ellis had two sacks in New York’s playoff win over the Patriots in January.

——— ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Lions coach Jim Schwartz says running back Mikel Leshoure has a torn Achilles tendon and is out for the year.

The rookie was injured after being hit high by defensive end Cliff Avril during practice Monday. He was carted off the team’s

practice field after being attended to by team trainers.

Schwartz says “he’ll be back, but it won’t be this season.”

The Lions were counting on the secondround pick from Illinois to provide power in the backfield to go along with the speedy Jahvid Best.

The injury is just the latest for Detroit.

The Lions’ starting offensive tackles and a key backup are recovering from injuries.

——— BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has ended his holdout and reported to training camp.

Jackson joined his teammates at Lehigh University on Monday, though he didn’t practice in the morning. A two-time Pro Bowl pick, Jackson wants a new contract.

He is slated to earn $565,000 this season, the final one of his four-year rookie deal.

Jackson caught 47 passes for 1,056 yards and six touchdowns last year, and his 22.5 yard-per-catch average was best in the NFL. He also averaged 11.6 yards on 20 punt returns, including a 65-yarder for a TD that beat the New York Giants on the last play of a game in the Meadowlands on Dec. 19.

If Jackson hadn’t reported by Tuesday, he could’ve lost a year of service time toward free agency.

——— LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Hines Ward was beaming. His trademark smile as wide as the goalposts at Chuck Noll Field on the campus of St. Vincent College where he had just completed his first official football practice in more than six months.

Ward’s familiar No. 86 white practice jersey had grass and mud stains across the shoulder pads and streaked through the back. The veteran receiver was taken off the physically unable to perform list earlier Monday after being cleared by doctors to join his teammates following offseason thumb surgery.

Asked how he felt, the 14-year veteran said, “Not bad for a 35-year-old guy.”

His first catch of practice was vintage Ward: sliding across the goal line while cradling the ball during a red-zone drill.

——— EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants fourth-round draft pick James Brewer had to leave practice Monday night with an injury to his lower right leg.

The offensive tackle from Indiana was taken off the field in a cart with his right foot elevated. There was no immediate word on the extent of his injury.

Umenyiora was back on the field riding a stationary bike. He has not practiced since reporting more than a week ago because of a contract dispute.

——— ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Jerry Smith, whose 26-year NFL coaching career included a stint as the Denver Broncos interim head coach in 1971, died. He was 80.

Smith had been in declining health since suffering a heart attack four years ago. He died Saturday, said his son, Jeffrey Smith, of Dallas.

Smith coached the offensive and defensive lines for 10 AFL/NFL teams from 196085 before serving six seasons as a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs.

He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 1952 out of the University of Wisconsin and played three seasons for the Niners and one for the Green Bay Packers.

Smith, who went 2-3 as interim Broncos coach in ’71, is survived by his wife, Shirley, two sons and three daughters. Services are next Monday in San Diego.

pitching products in between his maniacal workouts.

At 28, Orton is in his prime, though. He’s thrown for nearly 7,500 yards and 41 touchdowns to go with 21 interceptions the last two seasons in Denver, and by listing him the starter, the Broncos are acknowledging he gives them the best chance to win games right now.

Orton hasn’t posted enough fourth-quarter comebacks to keep the fan base from getting restless, but his middling 11-18 record with the Broncos has a lot to do with the anemic ground game and poor pocket of protection

There have always been signs of Jones’ dynamic playmaking ability.

He is still the only Cowboys rookie ever to score touchdowns in each of his first three games, with an 11-yard TD run on his first NFL carry, a 98-yard kickoff return in his home debut and a 60-yard TD run in the third game in 2008.

In his playoff debut the following season, he ran for 148 yards on 16 carries with a 73-yard TD run in a win over Philadelphia.

But his rookie season ended after only six games because of a hamstring injury and a subsequent toe injury during rehabilitation. He missed two games early in the second year because of a knee injury.

Finally making it through all 16 games last season gave Jones the chance to see how his

he worked with under former coach Josh McDaniels.

Fox has upgraded both areas, which should provide balance and keep the quarterback’s jersey a little cleaner.

Orton was beat up last season and Tebow started the final three games, going 1-2 with six TD passes and six TD runs, providing plenty of fodder for both his supporters and his detractors alike.

Just like last summer, the quarterback competition at Broncos camp has not been much of a contest.

Orton is clearly the best, if not the flashiest QB on the roster.

“I feel like I’m playing the best football of my career,” Orton said. “All I’ll do is let my play speak for itself.”

Tebow, usually very calculated in his comments, body could handle it.

There was then the extended break created by the NFL lockout that took away team-organized offseason workouts.

“It kind of helped me. I know what I wanted to work on and had more time working on it,” Jones said, without being too specific. “The stretches, the running, everything that I did this offseason helped me out. ... It gave me energy, I was ready for this season, I was ready for football to start.”

The difference in health is very evident to running backs coach Skip Peete.

“He’s had an opportunity to go through a full training camp and hasn’t had to nurse anything or limit his reps,” Peete said.

“The last couple of years I’ve had to watch him, he’s only going to get so many (reps) this period, so many this period, to where now he’s in there and he’s going, he’s going and I said, ‘Hey, go until you think you need a

was quoted in a Denver Post column last week saying his boyhood dream of being a starting quarterback in the NFL seemed imminent, “then, I felt like it was grabbed away.”

Tebow met with the media the next day to say he didn’t feel he was entitled and didn’t want to be anointed.

“I don’t feel like anything was taken away from me and I don’t want anything given. I want to work for anything I get, that’s for sure. And I’ve always been like that,” he said.

Tebow added that he’s never been given indication from the team it was his job.

“Absolutely not, and they never would have said anything to me like that, at all,” he said. “The whole time it was ‘Come in and breather and let me know.’ That’s been exciting to be able to do that.”

During the Cowboys’ first semi-live situational practice session in camp against the No. 1 defense, Jones turned two swing passes from Tony Romo into long gains.

“That’s the capabilities that he has,” Peete said.

“I’m excited for him. I think he’s in the best shape he’s been since he’s been with us.”’

After coming out of the backfield to make one of the catches from Romo, Jones had linebacker Bradie James right in front of him near the sideline. With a quick stutter step, Jones cut inside and left the linebacker in his wake, turning what might have been no gain into a 31-yard pickup.

“Felix put a move on me on the sideline,” James said enthusiastically. “I was like, ‘Dang, come on Felix, run out of bounds.’ But it was good. ... Felix is making moves.”

compete,’ and that’s what you want, that’s what I love doing.”

Right now, it’s Orton’s job to lose, and he hasn’t lost a single drill to anyone over the last year and a half unless you count the post-practice wind sprints that Tebow always dominates.

Tebowmaniacs suggest their man is a gamer who will outwork everybody to become an NFL quarterback much like he inspired teammates and won so many games in college.

He hasn’t refined his game enough since leaving Gainesville, but it was some old film from his rookie year that sparked some consternation at this camp.

by now. Williams first worked for him at the U.S. Open, the first step toward Woods deciding to end the partnership, and he has been hounded by questions all week about using Woods’ former caddie and how much a difference it would make for him.

“I can talk about Steve now and not Tiger,” Scott said to laughter, alluding to the countless times he and other players have been asked about Woods.

“I’m sure there are a lot of other golfers who wouldn’t mind that, either.”

It added another chapter to a saga that never seems to end with Woods.

His left leg looked good all week. His scores were pedestrian, but there were signs that his game is not terribly far off. And yet the week ends with him being mocked.

Woods pushed back his news conference at the

Tuesday, August 9, 2011 season and harped on Tebow’s throwing motion and inaccuracy in tweet after tweet, suggesting, among other things, “It’s embarrassing to think the broncos could win with tebow!!”

After several posts, Tebow responded: “Hey Merril...... ’ppreciate that” A day later, LeBron James chimed in, suggesting Tebow will indeed succeed in the NFL and imploring Hoge to cut the man some slack.

“Guys get on that TV and act like they was all WORLD when they played.

How bout encouraging him and wishing him the best instead of hating!!” James tweeted.

Hoge later suggested on air that McDaniels had no business making a firstrounder out of Tebow, PGA Championship one day to Wednesday, although no reason was given. It at least means he won’t have to cope with the media for his first two full days of practice at Atlanta Athletic Club.

Lost in this soap opera was a strong golf tournament, and a command performance not only by Scott, but players chasing him, including 19-year old Ryo Ishikawa.

Scott and Ishikawa were tied for a big part of the front nine, and Scott took a one-shot lead — the same one he started out with on Sunday — into the back nine.

Ishikawa stuffed his approach to 7 feet on the 10th hole. Scott hit his to 6 feet, and both made birdie.

Scott seized control on the 12th, when he chipped in for birdie to take a two-shot lead, then used his long putter to roll in a birdie putt just inside 30 feet on the 14th.

On the next hole, Scott saved par with a 10-foot

whom he said should have had a sixth- or seventhround grade with so many flaws.

Tebow insists the criticism won’t get him down.

“I’ll tell you this, I’m very much, just my own nature, a people pleaser,” he said.

“I like making people smile.

I like making people laugh, pleasing coaches, teammates. So when I hear criticism, when I hear negativity, on one hand I try to block it out and on the other I hear it and it motivates me.”

He said he looks at the condemnation as an evaluation of his play and not a personal attack, “so I want to improve my game and what people are criticizing.

And, if anything, I appreciate it. I really do, because it will motivate and fuel me.” putt, while Ishikawa three-putted for bogey, and suddenly the Australian had a three-shot lead.

Ahead of him, Rickie Fowler played the kind of golf that usually wins at Firestone on Sunday. He had a bogey-free round of 66, but it simply wasn’t enough to catch Scott.

Luke Donald, the world No. 1 for the last 10 weeks, also had a 66 and wound up tied for second with Fowler.

Ishikawa made a bogey on the final hole for a 69 and tied for fourth — his best finish in America — with Jason Day. “Today, I was on,” Scott said. “To win here at this place, a World Golf Championship, it’s huge.”

It didn’t hurt having Williams at his side. Along with his experience working for Woods, along with major champions Greg Norman and Raymond Floyd, Williams was on the bag for all seven of Woods’ victories at Firestone.

Surviving NASA rover nears rim of Martian crater LOS ANGELES (AP) — Months after the death of the Mars rover Spirit, its surviving twin is poised to reach the rim of a vast crater to begin a fresh round of exploration.

Driving commands sent up to Opportunity directed the six-wheel rover to make the final push toward Endeavour crater, a 14-mile-wide depression near the Martian equator that likely could be its final destination.

At its current pace and barring any hiccups, Opportunity should roll up to the crater’s edge on Tuesday. The finish line was a spot along a ridge that the rover team nicknamed “Spirit Point” in honor of Opportunity’s lost twin.

“I’m totally pumped.

We’ve been driving for so long,” said Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis who is part of the team.

The milestone injects a

sense of adventure back into a mission that wowed the public with color portraits of the landscape and the unmistakable geologic discoveries of a warm and wetter past.

The NASA rovers parachuted to opposite sides of Mars in 2004 for what was a planned three-month mission, but both have operated beyond their factory warranty.

Spirit’s journey ended in May after NASA ceased trying to contact it. It had been trapped in sand and unheard from for more than a year.

Opportunity has been on a driving spree since 2008 after it crawled out of a much smaller crater and trundled south toward Endeavour, stopping occasionally to sightsee and examine rock outcrops.

Unlike the early days of the mission when the public tracked Opportunity’s every move, the march to Endeavour has been large-

ly low-key.

In early 2009, Opportunity caught its first peek of the uplifted rim on the horizon. At the time, scientists were unsure if the rover would make it all the way.

The roughly seven-mile journey took longer than the estimated two years to fulfill. Opportunity, driving backward to prevent its right front wheel from wearing out, could not travel as the crow flies because of dangerous obstacles. So it took a circuitous route and ended up driving twice the distance.

Project manager John Callas of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory said Endeavour crater is arguably the most important science target since landing.

Craters are carved by asteroids or comets impacting into the Martian surface and exposing geological layers from differ-

ent points in history.

Endeavour is the fourth crater that Opportunity will explore and offers the oldest deposits yet.

Opportunity, which logged more than 20 miles since landing, will spend several months imaging the rim and interior, which has been partially filled in by rocks and sediments.

There are no plans to drive across the crater for fear of getting stuck, Callas said. Instead, it will traverse south along the rim in search of clay minerals thought to for m under wet conditions.

While these clay minerals have been extensively studied by orbiting spacecraft, Opportunity will be the first to examine them on the ground.

“We will likely spend years at this location,” Callas said. “What a destination. It’s not just one spot. There’s kilometers of interesting geology to explore.”

Orange goo near remote Alaska village is ID’d as eggs

village as millions of microscopic eggs filled with fatty droplets.

But the mystery is not quite solved. Officials with

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday they don’t know what species the eggs are or if they are toxic, and

that worries many of the 374 residents of Kivalina, an Inupiat Eskimo community located at the tip of an 8-mile barrier reef on Alaska’s northwest coast.

There’s been at least one report of dead minnows found in the lagoon of the village the night the eggs appeared last week. Residents also are worried about the community’s dwindling reserves in village water tanks even though the orange mass has dissipated from the lagoon and Wulik River, said city administrator Janet Mitchell.

“It seems to be all gone,” she said. “But if they’re microscopic eggs, who’s to say they’re not still in the river?”

Scientists also don’t know why the unidentified eggs suddenly emerged on the shores of Kivalina last week. Villagers say they’ve never seen such a phenomenon before.

clues, but we’ll likely never have a definitive answer on that,” said NOAA spokeswoman Julie Speegle.

Samples are being sent to a NOAA laboratory in Charleston, S.C., for further analysis. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation also sent samples Monday to the Institute for Marine Science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Residents live largely off the land, and many are worried about the effect on some wildlife and plants from the goo, which turned powdery when it dried — and probably airbor ne.

Mitchell said some people went berry picking over the weekend, but couldn’t tell if the goo was on the fruit, called salmonberries, which are the same color of the eggs. The caribou are in the region now, but she doesn’t believe the migrating animals pose much risk as a food source.

The eggs were found on

at least one roof and in buckets set all over the village to collect rain water.

City Councilwoman Frances Douglas said the gooey, slimy substance was widely spread in streaks along the Wulik River and the lagoon, which is a half mile wide and six miles long. Orangey water was reported from as far away as the village of Buckland, 150 miles southeast of Kivalina.

Douglas estimated the volume of eggs she could see “in excess of a thousand gallons, easily.”

The weather last Wednesday, when the bright substance emerged, only intensified the effect, according to Douglas.

“We had an overcast sky, so it really, really stood out,” she said. “You could not miss it for nothing.”

Speegle called the climate change theory “purely speculative.”

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I’m an only child by default.

My parents have been married 30 years and had two children.

When I was 9 and my sister was 6, we were in a car accident with my mother that resulted in my sister’s death.

Her death changed my life in ways I can never explain.

My father began abusing drugs and beating me. My mother started stealing and was always unemployed. She became severely depressed and also abused prescription drugs.

I was left to raise myself, and now, as an adult, I don’t want a relationship with either of them.

How can I get my mother to accept that despite her wishes, I do not want to live my life watching her waste hers? It leaves me feeling depressed, angry and hopeless. I have been diagnosed as bipolar. Almost all my life I have known only death, drugs, abuse and pain. I just want peace from these people. Please help.

FRUSTRATED SON IN GEORGIA

DEAR FRUSTRATED SON: You have my deepest sympathy for the tragedy that destroyed your family. Had your parents received the professional help they needed at the time of the accident, much of it might have been prevented.

Tell your parents that unless they seek help NOW for their problems, they will have lost not one, but two, children.

However, if they choose to continue as they have been — which is likely — then you must go on with your life. The answer to a toxic situation such as what you have experienced is to divorce yourself. Because you can’t fix them, you must save yourself. You have been damaged enough.

The Wizard of Id

Family Circus

DEAR ABBY: My daughter, “Kate,” is 27 and has a 3-year-old son. She and the father are not married.

He is self-centered, controlling and keeps her stranded. She has no car and no money. They currently live with his family — a far from ideal situation.

I am struggling because I’m unable to help her financially, and she feels lost and alone. My husband (her stepfather) won’t allow them to live with us, which I understand. We’re scrimping to get by. I have located several online sites for single moms regarding assistance, but I feel it is up to Kate to pursue them.

What else can I offer her regarding steering her in the right direction? If she could contact others in her situation, perhaps they might point her in directions I cannot. Your advice would be welcomed.

GRANDMA IN PRESCOTT, ARIZ. DEAR GRANDMA: Because of your financial situation there is a limit to what you can do. Give your daughter the websites and explain that she may find support and suggestions there from other single mothers — the rest is up to her.

But please, realize that until your daughter is willing to take charge of her life, nothing will change. Continue to be caring and supportive, and let your daughter know you love her.

#####

DEAR ABBY: When someone elopes, is a bridal shower after the fact appropriate? There will be a reception later this summer where a wedding gift seems expected. I think having a bridal shower is not proper etiquette. What do you say?

ASKANCE IN VERMONT DEAR ASKANCE: The intent of a wedding shower is to extend good wishes to the bride — and with increasing frequency, the groom. Having one after a hastily planned wedding or an elopement is not a breach of etiquette. However, if you disapprove, no law says you must attend.

Dear Readers: It’s time to review some safety hints for when you visit an TELLER AUTOMATED MACHINE: * Take note of your surroundings at all times, and use ATMs that are in well-lit areas. * If using a drive-up ATM, have your card out and ready to use, and keep the engine running and the doors locked. Pull up to the ATM as close as possible. Keep your lights on at nighttime. * Think of your ATM card as if it’s cash. Keep it in a secure place in your wallet, and NEVER write the personal identification number (PIN) on the card or on anything in your wallet or handbag, unless it’s in code.

Use your smarts and don’t become a victim!

Dear Heloise: A reader wrote that one way to make copies of photos is to take pictures of them with your camera or cellphone and take them to a drugstore or discount store that has a photo department, and you can use the store’s equipment to make a copy.

Keep in mind that there are copyrights on pictures that have been taken by professional photographers, and many places will NOT allow you to make copies. The large discount stores are especially particular about the copyright laws and, regardless of the age of the photo, will insist on a copyright waiver from the photo company, the family of the photographer or whatever in order for you to make a copy.

Dianne Bahn, Yankton, S.D.

Checking with a couple of large retailers with photo departments and a camera shop reveals that they have similar policies. They need written permission from the photographer to reproduce photographs that appear to be professionally shot or are clearly stamped with a copyright. Please read another comment below.

Dear Heloise: Thanks for reminding your readers about the importance of identifying those family photos before it’s too late.

Another easy way to duplicate them is to use a good laser printer, such as at office-supply/copy centers. You can do it yourself for mere pennies, grouping several on one sheet of paper. The trick is to use highquality copy paper specifically for photos. You will save even more by printing them as black and white, but choosing the “color” function will give them a richer tonality.

This method is especially practical if you are planning to frame them; under glass, you can’t tell the copy from the original. I did this more than 10 years ago, and they still look perfect.
