Report slams LANL over safety Lab failed to follow procedures, internal reports in handling nuclear waste that led to radiation leak

The report, released Wednesday by the Department of Energy’s Office of Inspector General, paints

a disturbing picture of safety and oversight weaknesses at one of the nation’s premier nuclear weapons and research laboratories. Though the cause of the leak is still under investigation, the report is the most damning assessment yet of the lab’s role in the Feb. 14 incident that exposed more than 20 workers at WIPP to low levels of radioactive contamination and shut down the nation’s only underground repository for nuclear waste.

Hong Kong’s strategy: Wait out protesters

HONG KONG — Crowds of pro-democracy protesters thinned noticeably by Thursday morning after the Hong Kong government adopted a more conciliatory stance of trying to wait out the demonstrators.

Downtown streets that had been fairly crowded on previous nights began to empty late Wednesday, as many went home after days outdoors in heat that had been sweltering even

But many predicted that crowds would build again later on Thursday, as demonstrators returned after showers, sleep and hot meals.

“Compared to yesterday morning, I think there is a smaller crowd,” Venus Wong, a 22-year-old office worker, said as she sat in front of the local government headquarters with two friends, eating a McDonald’s breakfast at midmorning. “But I think more people will come back later in the day.”

Hong Kong’s chief executive and his inner core of advisers have decided, with support from China’s leaders, that their best strategy is to

Some areas in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico received more rain in a day than in a typical season, the National Weather Service said. The rains caused flooding, sending water into homes and closing roads throughout the region.

spans from mid-June to the end of September and is characterized by thunderstorms that stir up dust storms or rain. Mark O’Malley, a National Weather Service meteorologist based in Phoenix, said monsoon season occurs when thunderstorms and moisture are stirred up by winds coming from Mexico. Once September ends, winds change direction and storms are likely tied to activity happening off the Pacific Ocean in the Northwest, O’Malley said.

Police seek suspects in shooting

Santa Fe police are looking for multiple suspects in the Tuesday night shooting of a well-known Santa Fe man in his driveway in a peaceful neighborhood south of the state Capitol.

Peter Komis, a 52-year-old landlord who once ran for a City Council seat, Peter Komis was hospitalized in stable condition, police spokeswoman Celina Espinoza said Wednesday.

Investigators don’t know the motive for the shooting, which Espinoza said occurred at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 600 block of Don Gaspar Avenue after three or four men got out of a white car and assaulted Komis in his driveway.

Komis, who is president of the Don Gaspar Neighborhood Association and treasurer of the Wood Gormley Parent Teacher Club, was shot twice in his lower extremities, police said.

The make and model of the white sedan are unknown.

Jerry Archuleta, who described himself as Komis’ best friend, said family and friends are “pretty freaked out about the incident.”

“We don’t know much of anything,” Archuleta said. “He was the nicest guy in the world. It makes no sense.”

Among other real estate, Komis owns commercial property that extends from the Santa Fe Plaza to 125 E. Water St., which used to house the Catamount, a popular downtown watering hole. Komis last year

In brief WASHINGTON — In a striking public rebuke, the Obama administration warned Israel on Wednesday that plans for a controversial new housing project in east Jerusalem would distance Israel from “even its closest allies” and raise questions about its commitment to seeking peace with Palestinians.

The harsh criticism came just hours after President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House.

Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said the president privately raised his concerns with Netanyahu though the two leaders made no mention of the matter in their public comments to reporters.

The new 2,500 unit project is contentious because it would complete a band of Jewish areas that separate Jerusalem from nearby Bethlehem.

Ukraine rebels advance on Donetsk airport

Civilian casualty standard eased in Iraq and Syria

DONETSK, Ukraine — Pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine advanced Wednesday on the government-held airport in Donetsk, pressing to seize the key transportation hub even as the two sides bargained over a troop pullout under a much-violated truce.

Fighting for the airport has raged for months as the insurgents have tried to dislodge the government forces using it to shell rebel positions in Donetsk, the largest rebel-held city.

While the Donetsk airport building has been gutted by shelling, its long runway would let the rebels handle heavy cargo planes carrying supplies, instead of relying solely on truck convoys from Russia.

Human rights groups: At least 24 civilians killed in recent air attacks in Iraq and Syria

By Ken Dilanian The Associated Press

WASHINGTON resident Barack Obama announced in May 2013 that no lethal strike against a terrorist would be authorized without “near-certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured.”

But amid unconfirmed reports of civilian casualties, the White House said this week that U.S. bombing in Iraq and Syria is not being held to the near-certainty standard. And the Pentagon, hamstrung by limitations in intelligence gathering, has been unable to determine in many cases whether the casualty reports are true.

“We do take extreme caution and care in the conduct of these missions,” Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s press secretary, said. “But there’s risk in any military operation. There’s a special kind of risk when you do air operations.”

When Obama outlined his strategy to fight the Islamic State group earlier this month, he cited as parallels the limited U.S. counterterrorism campaigns in Yemen and Somalia, where American drone missile strikes have targeted al-Qaida-linked militants. Aides said he was also thinking of Pakistan but didn’t mention those strikes because drone killings there are entirely the work of an officially unacknowledged CIA operation.

But when it comes to civilian casualties, it has become clear that the targeted killing model that Obama has expanded and honed throughout his presidency does not apply to the more intensive military operation against the Islamic State and the Khorasan Group in Iraq and Syria.

According to the White House, the reason the near-certainty standard is not applicable turns on a fine point of international law — the theory that the U.S. is not involved in “active hostilities” in Yemen and Somalia, but is in Syria and Iraq. Such distinctions are controversial, given the frequency with which American bombs and bullets have flown in both countries.

Man convicted of murder for killing over loud music JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A jury has found a Florida man guilty of first-degree murder for fatally shooting a teenager after an argument over loud music outside a Jacksonville convenience store. The jury reached its verdict Wednesday after more than five hours of deliberations.

Prosecutors say Michael Dunn shot with intent to kill when he fired 10 times into an SUV carrying 17-year-old Jordan Davis and three of his friends in November 2012.

Dunn testified that he thought his life was in danger. Davis was from Marietta, Georgia.

Dunn was convicted previously of three counts of attempted second-degree murder in February and already faces at least 60 years in prison.

Okla. beheading suspect ordered held without bond NORMAN, Okla. — A man accused of beheading a woman at an Oklahoma food processing plant after being suspended from his job was ordered held without bond Wednesday and asked a judge to name a Muslim as his court-appointed lawyer.

Alton Nolen, 30, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Colleen Hufford, 54, and with two counts of assault. Prosecutors said Nolen was stabbing another employee when he was shot by a plant manager in an attack last Thursday at the Vaughan Foods plant in Moore.

In a video arraignment Wednesday, Judge Michael Tupper ordered Nolen held without bond and said the court would appoint an attorney. “ I’m Muslim,” Nolen told the judge. “Do you have any Muslims who might represent me?”

BATAVIA, N.Y. — Three Afghan military officers who sought refuge in Canada after taking off from a military training exercise in Massachusetts said Wednesday they were trying to escape Taliban violence at home but now face the wrath of their own government as well.

“Now that we’ve decided to seek asylum, the danger has multiplied,” said Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, who along with Capt. Noorullah Aminyar and Capt. Mohammed Nasir Askarzada traveled more than 500 miles by taxi from a Wal-Mart on Cape Cod to Niagara Falls.

The three walked across the Rainbow Bridge connecting New York to Ontario, Canada, to claim refugee status on Sept. 22.

They were turned over to U.S. authorities, who charged them with immigration violations and began removal proceedings.

“Our pictures are in the newspapers in Afghanistan, Pakistan and all around the world. Now our government has turned against us,” Arash, 49, said inside the federal detention facility outside Buffalo, where they are being held.

All said they feared they would be killed or imprisoned and tortured if returned to Afghanistan.

In interviews with The Associated Press, the three described feeling elated as they took their $1,600 cab ride toward the U.S.-Canadian border, never expecting they would be turned away and handed over to the United States under a U.S.-Canada agreement that requires asylum seekers to apply in the first country they land in.

Askarzada, 28, said he has an uncle in Canada. All are married and have children. Askarzada said his wife is pregnant.

Aminyar, 30, said he had been targeted by the Taliban in his village of Khowgni because of his work with U.S. soldiers in killing and capturing Taliban fighters.

He and Askarzada decided to use the Wal-Mart excursion to make their way to the border, joined by Arash, who also had gone to the store.

“We never thought that we would be brought here to a prison,” Arash said, motioning to his bright blue detention center jumpsuit, “because we didn’t do anything harmful.”

At an initial court appearance Wednesday, Borowski was given until Oct. 8 to review the government’s case and prepare a bail request.

A more practical reason is that the selfimposed rules on drone strikes against al-Qaida are simply too restrictive for a conventional military air campaign against the Islamic State group, which the U.S. says is both a terrorist group and an occupying army, and has ordered the Pentagon to destroy.

“It is much different in scope and complexity” than Yemen and Somalia, said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., an intelligence committee member. “I think it will be very hard to apply the very restrictive rules they put in place for other theaters.”

The drone attacks in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan are carried out either by the CIA or, at times in Yemen and Somalia, the military’s Joint Special Operations Command. They employ Hellfire missiles, relatively small munitions designed to destroy people and vehicles.

In Iraq and Syria, the Air Force and Navy are using cruise missiles and conventional guided bombs to destroy buildings and other infrastructure that Hellfires can’t bring down. Allies, including Britain, France and Arab countries, are also using conventional bombs.

While most of the airstrikes have been directed at the Islamic State group, the U.S. also used cruise missiles to attack the Syria headquarters of the Khorasan Group, an alQaida cell said to be plotting attacks on the West. Syrian opposition figures have said that one of those missiles went astray Sept. 23 and killed women and children in the village of Kafr Daryan near Aleppo.

All told, human rights groups have said that as many as two dozen civilians have been killed in U.S. and allied bombings in Iraq and Syria.

The U.S. military says it hasn’t confirmed any civilian death but hasn’t ruled it out in every case, either.

White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the near-certainty standard was intended to apply “only when we take direct action outside areas of active hostilities.”

Military officials say they are taking great care to avoid civilian casualties in Iraq and Syria, consistent with international law. But international law does not require a near certainty that civilians won’t be harmed in military strikes. U.S. officials say harm to noncombatants is inevitable in a large bombing campaign —especially when the enemy is embedded in civilian areas.

On first visit, Ebola patient told hospital he had been in Liberia

By Lauran Neergard and Paul J. Weber The Associated Press

DALLAS — The airline passenger who brought Ebola into the U.S. initially went to a Dallas emergency room last week but was sent home, despite telling a nurse that he had been in disease-ravaged West Africa, the hospital said Wednesday in a disclosure that showed how easily an infection could be missed.

The decision by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to release the patient could have put others at risk of exposure to the disease before he went back to the ER a couple of days later, when his condition worsened.

A day after the man’s diagnosis was confirmed, a ninemember team of federal health officials was tracking anyone who had close contact with him after he fell ill on Sept. 24.

The group of 12 to 18 people included three members of the ambulance crew that took the man to the hospital and a handful of schoolchildren.

Those people will be checked every day for 21 days, the disease’s incubation period.

“That’s how we’re going to break the chain of transmission, and that’s where our focus has to be,” Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told The Associated Press Wednesday.

The patient explained to a nurse Thursday that he was visiting the U.S. from Africa, but that information was not widely shared, said Dr. Mark Lester, who works for the hospital’s parent company.

“Regretfully, that information was not fully communicated” throughout the medical team, Lester said. Instead, the man was diagnosed with a low-risk infection and sent home.

He was prescribed antibiotics, according to his sister, Mai Wureh, who identified her brother, Thomas Eric Duncan, as the infected man in an interview with The Associated Press.

Duncan has been kept in isolation at the hospital since

Sunday. He was listed in serious, but stable condition.

Hospital epidemiologist Dr. Edward Goodman said the patient had a fever and abdominal pain during his first ER visit.

But the diagnosis, and the hospital’s slip-up, highlighted the wider threat of Ebola, even in places far from West Africa.

“The scrutiny just needs to be higher now,” said Dr. Rade Vukmir, a spokesman for the American College of Emergency Physicians.

Ebola is believed to have sickened more than 7,100 people in West Africa, and killed more than 3,300, according to the World Health Organization. Liberia is one of the three hardest-hit countries in the epidemic, along with Sierra Leone and Guinea.

In Texas, neither the ambulance crew nor the children showed any symptoms. They were restricted to home while their conditions are observed.

The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin. It spreads only by close contact with a patient’s bodily fluids.

The man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later, Frieden said.

The man flew from Brussels to Dulles Airport near Washington, then boarded a flight for Dallas-Fort Worth, according to airlines.

Since the man was showing

no symptoms on the plane, the CDC stressed that there is no risk to fellow passengers.

Hospitals have been on the lookout: The CDC has received 94 inquiries from states about illnesses that initially were suspected to be Ebola. Of the 13 people who actually underwent testing, only one — the Dallas patient — tested positive.

during overseas trips.

But her tenure has been rocked by more serious allegations that her agents and officers have not been performing their primary job competently.

Under intense questioning on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Pierson admitted that those charged with securing the White House had failed to follow numerous security protocols, allowing a man armed with a knife to penetrate deep inside the mansion.

On Wednesday, the intruder who jumped the White House fence, Omar J. Gonzalez, pleaded not guilty to charges of unlawfully entering a restricted government building while carrying a weapon, carrying a dangerous weapon in public and unlawfully possessing ammunition.

Report: Contractor blamed for changing to organic kitty litter Continued from Page A-1 “Although yet to be finally confirmed, this action may have led to an adverse chemical reaction within the drums resulting in serious safety implications,” the report said.

The report also lays blame for the weaknesses on EnergySolutions, the contractor the lab hired to mix and package waste. In addition to switching from clay kitty litter to an organic variety, the report also found that LANL and EnergySolutions ignored clear warnings against adding a liquid acid neutralizer to the waste — another potentially hazardous combination.

“LANL’s waste processing and safety-related control procedures should have prevented the addition of these potentially incompatible materials,” the report said. “However, the process failed in this matter.”

The report comes just days after LANL replaced four managers responsible for cleaning up nuclear waste left over from decades of nuclear weapons research at the lab.

In a written statement, a lab spokesman acknowledged that LANL and the Energy Department had identified some of the same concerns noted in the report.

“We will actively address the OIG’s recommendations in our continuing efforts to learn from these events and improve our operational practices,” the lab’s statement read.

A spokesman for EnergySolutions said the contractor had no comment about the report.

By adding organic kitty litter and neutralizer to the nuclear waste, LANL violated terms of its operating agreement with the state, according to the report.

The New Mexico Environment Department has regulatory authority over LANL and WIPP as the issuer of their operating permits.

Environment Department Secretary Ryan Flynn told a panel of state lawmakers in July that LANL officials had confessed to regulators that they had treated waste in the drum that ultimately ruptured, even though such waste treatment was not authorized by the lab’s pact with the state.

“There was something put there in direct violation of our permit, and certainly on that issue, there will be consequences,” Flynn told the New Mexico Legislature’s Radioactive and Hazardous Materials Committee during a meeting in Los Alamos.

Flynn’s department has authority to halt operations at both sites if the terms of the permit the department issued are violated. LANL could face fines up to $3,000 a day for the permit violation it admitted, according to the inspector general’s report.

“The latest report issued by the Office of Inspector General validates many of the same concerns the New Mexico Environment Department has expressed to the Department of Energy and Los Alamos National Laboratory,” Environment Department spokesman Jim Winchester said in a written statement. “NMED continues to examine permit violations that appear to have occurred during the handling of [transuranic] waste at LANL, and will determine consequences/corrective actions as dictated by the findings of our investigation.”

The report recommended immediate changes at the lab to strengthen its oversight and reviews of how nuclear waste is handled before resuming those activities.

“Immediate action is necessary to ensure that these matters are addressed and fully resolved before [transuranic] waste operations are resumed, or, for that matter, before future mixed radioactive hazardous waste operations are initiated,” the inspector general’s report said.

The lab failed to follow the Energy Department’s directions about safe processing of nitrate salt waste, and “contractor officials failed to ensure that changes to waste treatment procedures were properly documented, reviewed and approved, and that they

incorporated all environmental requirements for [transuranic] waste processing,” according to the report.

Absent these breaches in standards, the inspector general found the radiation leak at WIPP could have been avoided.

“Had LANL followed Department direction and provided appropriate [subject matter expert] reviews, it likely would have determined that the changes to its procedures would result in the introduction of potentially incompatible materials to the waste stream,” the report said.

Careful review of the potential dangers of adding organic kitty litter to a known oxidizer such as nitrate salts would have turned up Environmental Protection Agency recommendations that warn against it, the report said.

“Disposing of oxidizers by mixing them with organic solvents is generally recognized as inherently hazardous,” according to the 2000 EPA case study cited in the report.

Clay-based kitty litter traditionally has been used to absorb liquid contained in transuranic waste to make it acceptable for placement in WIPP, but EnergySolutions switched to a wheat-based brand with no objection from lab officials, according to emails between the contractor and lab officials last year that were made public by the New Mexico Environment Department.

Waste content supervisors at LANL similarly overlooked the potential for incompatibility of an acid neutralizer when they allowed it to be added to the waste.

“Although required, LANL and Department officials acknowledged that a review of chemical ingredients for the neutralizers was not performed and that a weakness in the control process for the Procedure change had occurred,” the report said. However, it notes that chemical analysis to date “does not indicate that the neutralizer is the sole mechanism that could explain the radiological release incident at WIPP.” In July, LANL officials revealed that a lead-contaminated glove was left in the mix during the treatment of waste in the drum ruptured at WIPP, and investigators are reviewing whether it played a part in the chemical reaction that caused the radiation leak.

Greg Mello, executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, an independent organization that monitors the lab, said, “This report is very clear about what LANL should have known. It’s very clear about how LANL violated specific instructions in preparing this waste and failed to use either its own experts or experts that were already working on WIPP waste whose job was to check the safety of this waste.”

Mello said the inspector general’s report is particularly troubling in light of other identified safety concerns at the lab as it readies to embark on a new mission sure to create a new generation of caustic waste.

Seismic worries shut down the Weapons Engineering Tritium Facility in 2010 and Plutonium Facility 4 last year.

Within the next decade, the Department of Defense, Congress and the National Nuclear Safety Administration want LANL to begin producing replacement plutonium pits — small bombs within nuclear weapons that trigger their detonation — for the existing national nuclear stockpile at a rate not seen since the Cold War ended a quarter-century ago.

Mello worries that the lab’s proposed new mission would generate even more waste, even as some legacy waste from the nation’s last round of steady nuclear weapons production still awaits entombment at WIPP. “All of LANL’s nuclear facilities will eventually have to be torn down, and they will be contaminated,” he said.

“Where are they going to go?”

High court weighs gay marriage cases

By Greg Stohr Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is poised to say whether it will consider legalizing gay marriage amid growing pressure to settle the matter in a new term that could cover some of the nation’s most divisive social issues.

Fifteen months after ducking the question of whether the Constitution gives gay couples the right to wed, the justices may say as soon as Thursday that they will take up one of seven appeals from five states. Advocates on both sides are calling for a high court review against the backdrop of a wave of promarriage court rulings over the past year.

“The court might have preferred to put off the issue for another term or two,” said Irv Gornstein, executive director of the Supreme Court Institute at Georgetown Law Center in Washington. “But the

pace at which this issue has accelerated will prevent it from doing so.”

The justices also will have a chance to revisit the Affordable Care Act and racial discrimination in the nine-month term that opens next week. Meanwhile, federal appeals courts are priming clashes on abortion and gun rights for an eventual date at the high court.

Same-sex couples can legally wed in 19 states and the District of Columbia.

Judges have backed marriage, at least to some degree, in another 16 states, and three federal appeals courts have said gay marriage is a constitutional right.

Advocates on both sides are seeking nationwide closure a decade after Massachusetts became the first gay-marriage state. “America is ready, and the time is right for the court to do it,” said Evan Wolfson, president and founder of Freedom to Marry, which has led the cam-

paign to legalize same-sex marriage across the country.

The Supreme Court dropped hints of support for gay marriage in June of last year, even while sidestepping the ultimate question. In a 5-4 ruling, the court struck down part of the U.S. Defense of Marriage Act. The law “places same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in a secondtier marriage,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the court. The court’s reasoning led dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia to say that an eventual decision legalizing gay marriage was “inevitable.”

Now, the biggest question for the court may be which of the seven pending appeals to take up. The justices were scheduled to discuss those appeals at their private Sept. 29 conference. Arguments would probably be in February or March, with a decision by the end of June.

Suspects: Neighbors puzzled by shooting Continued from Page A-1 announced that he would run for a City Council seat in District 2, but he dropped those plans last November to care for a sick relative.

The Komis home had been burglarized earlier this year, Espinoza said, and security cameras were able to catch footage of the burglar. She said police will review any security footage of the Tuesday night incident.

Komis’ large, two-story home on the tree-lined street is surrounded by a concrete wall and a steel gate. The 600 block of Don Gaspar Avenue has both residential and commercial properties. Most of the homes are duplex-style apartments, and most have a metal or wooden gate in front.

Many residents also have security service signs in their front yards. Down the block, children often can be heard playing at the playground at Wood Gormley Elementary School.

Residents interviewed Wednesday were puzzled by the shooting. They said the neighborhood sees more property crime than violence.

Seth Fuller, who was walking a dog Wednesday morning, said his wife had heard the gunshots, and he saw

plenty of police vehicles late Tuesday night.

Ashley Binder, who lives on nearby East Santa Fe Avenue, said she first learned of the incident on the morning news.

Binder said she regards the neighborhood as generally safe, but she said she has seen increased graffiti in an alley near her home.

Karen Reeder, who lives near the intersection of Don Gaspar Avenue and Paseo de Peralta, said she heard three shots late Tuesday, and they sounded “measured and deliberate.”

Archuleta said Komis’ friends have taken “security precautions” to protect the family, but he did not elaborate on those measures. He

said Komis was doing OK in the hospital but was in “a lot of pain.”

Police have asked that anyone with information about the shooting call dispatch at 428-3710.

Record: State’s precipitation at 82 percent New Mexico

Drought in New Mexico

Continued from Page A-1 to 80 percent of normal, according to the National Weather Service. The monsoon fizzled a bit in August, but helped bring the state’s average precipitation up to 82 percent of normal. September brought extremely wet weather to Southern New Mexico, but much less for central and northern portions of the state.

This summer, Phoenix and its suburbs received more than twice the average rainfall. A majority of the storms occurred in August and September.

According to meteorologists, a Sept. 8 storm that was made up of remnants from Hurricane Norbert in Mexico brought more than 3 inches of rain to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in just seven hours. The area’s normal seasonal total is 2.7 inches. Overall, the area around the airport received 6.3 inches, making it the seventh wettest season on record.

Nancy Selover, Arizona’s state climatologist, said the rain may have helped with short-term drought conditions by moist-

ening soil and freshening groundwater.

“We had less than an inch going into the monsoon,” Selover said Wednesday.

“For the year, we’re quite a bit ahead of where we expect to be by the end of the year.”

Several parts of the state were pummeled in August and September with oneday episodes of rain, wind and sometimes hail. The ensuing flooding resulted in several dramatic water rescues and freeways becoming small lakes. Authorities in Tucson attributed two deaths Sept. 8 to the weather. One woman drowned trying to cross a wash and another died after her car was submerged.

In Nevada, an area of small towns about 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas and an adjacent Indian reservation were swamped by storms Sept. 8. Transportation officials said it could take up to two weeks and $2 million to repair a section of an interstate in southern Nevada that crumbled during intense flash flooding.

Meteorologist Andrew Gorelow said about 1.2 inches of rain fell at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, making the season the 31st wettest for that area.

The area saw 22 days of thunderstorms, tying a 1955 record.

Strategy: City’s leader won’t step down Continued from Page A-1 wait and hope that the disruption of everyday life will turn local public opinion against the demonstrators.

Leung Chun-ying, the chief executive, and his advisers have decided not to use force to disperse the demonstrations, but they also will not hold negotiations with protest leaders for now, said people with a detailed knowledge of the Hong Kong government’s and Beijing’s policies.

Nor has there been any serious discussion of Leung’s resigning, as the protesters, who number in the tens of thousands and have blocked three major thoroughfares for

days, are demanding.

Thursday was a traditional Chinese holiday that follows a lunar calendar, and it coincidentally came right after the National Day holiday this year.

As a result, many people had expected the rallies to remain just as large on Thursday as on Wednesday.

Demonstrators were making a bigger effort by midmorning Thursday to minimize their disruption to commerce.

The city’s leadership has concluded that it would be pointless for Leung to sit down with protest leaders, although a few informal contacts have been made with democ-

racy advocates, and a few of Leung’s friends have recommended actual negotiations.

Beijing has given the Hong Kong government only a little room to negotiate the details of how the next chief executive will be elected in 2017 — the fundamental issue for the demonstrators.

“The government can tolerate the blockade of three or four or five areas and see how the demonstrations go, so the only way the demonstrators can go is to escalate it — spread it to more places, and then they cannot sustain it — or they will become violent,” said a person who is deeply involved in the Hong

Kong government’s decisionmaking.

Chan Kin-man, a co-founder of one of the main protest groups, Occupy Central With Love and Peace, said at a news conference Wednesday that Leung would not outlast the protests.

“If he believes that if he keeps on dragging on without answering to our demands then people will go away, forget about it,” said Chan, who added that protesters would be willing to skip work to remain in the streets.

The leaders of the demonstrators have insisted that they will only pursue nonviolent civil disobedience.

ACLU challenges Ala. abortion law MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The American Civil Liberties Union is suing to stop a new Alabama law that places additional requirements on girls seeking abortions without their parents’ approval.

The suit, filed in federal court in Montgomery, said the Alabama law goes beyond any other state’s law in regulating abortions for females under 18, and it creates additional barriers for girls who can’t seek parental consent because they are victims of abuse or neglect.

“This law aims to shame a young woman into not having an abortion,” Susan Watson, executive director of the ACLU of Alabama, said Wednesday.

NEW YORK — A bottleneck is building in the global market for bonds.

Main Street investors have poured a trillion dollars into bonds since the financial crisis, and helped send prices soaring.

As fund managers and regulators fret about an inevitable sell-off, the bigger fear is that when people go to unload, there won’t be anyone to buy.

Too many funds own the same bonds, making them difficult to sell in a sudden downturn. On top of that, the banks that used to bring bond buyers and sellers together have pulled back from the role. Investors looking to sell would be slow to find buyers, spreading fear through the $100 trillion global bond market and sending prices tumbling.

It’s a situation known as “liquidity risk” and some bond pros are scrambling to prepare for it.

Portfolio managers are hoarding cash. BlackRock, the world’s largest fund manager, is suggesting regulators consider new fees for investors pulling out of funds. Apollo Management, famous for profiting from a bond collapse 25 years ago, is launching a fund to bet against bonds.

Mohamed El-Erian, former CEO of bond fund giant Pimco, thinks ordinary investors are too blasé about the flaws in the trading system. Investors today are like homeowners who only discover there’s a clog under the sink when it’s too late and they’re staring at a mess.

What’s at risk is more than money in retirement accounts.

Big investors often borrow when buying bonds and so losses can be magnified. Trillions of dollars of bets using derivatives ride on bonds, too.

A small fall in prices could lead to losses that reverberate throughout the financial system.

“The market is so tightly wound,” says JPMorgan’s William Eigen, head of its Strategic Income Opportunities fund, who has put 63 percent of his portfolio in cash. “There’s no place to hide.”

In such a fragile situation, even news with no bearing on bond fundamentals can trigger losses.

High prices Since the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve’s efforts to hold down borrowing costs for businesses and consumers have pushed interest payments on many bonds to record lows.

That’s set off a rush by investors into riskier ones offering higher payments. The buying has pushed up prices, and added to the risk. Since the start of 2009, funds invested in

junk bonds have returned an average 14 percent each year and municipal bond funds 6 percent, according to the Investment Company Institute, double their averages in the prior six years.

Even seemingly “safe” government debt looks dangerous now, according to a September report by Deutsche Bank. Many bonds sold by wealthy countries like France, Australia and Britain recently are so highpriced you’d have to go back centuries to find more expensive ones, the report notes.

And since corporate bonds are priced off government ones, much of that market is also at risk for a fall.

The conclusion of Deutsche’s 104-page report is that some bonds are “exhibiting bubble tendencies.” The IMF is worried, too. In its own recent report, it warned of possible “fire sales” for some bonds.

Plumbing problems To trade most corporate and municipal bonds, you have to phone or email brokers at banks and other firms who pair buyers and sellers. If they can’t find a match for you, they dip into their own stash of bonds to buy and sell themselves.

But banks and other middlemen are pulling back from this matchmaking because of new regulations limiting their activities. And they have largely abandoned their role as a buyer

or seller of last resort. They’ve slashed their stash of bonds by 80 percent since 2007, according to State Street Global Advisors.

The result is that buyers and sellers in the $50 trillion global market for corporate and muni bonds are struggling to find each other, and the frequency of trades has plunged.

The average muni bond now changes hands half as much as it did in 2006, according to BlackRock. In corporate bonds, trading has dropped by more than a third.

In such an illiquid market,

prices have fallen fast several times in the past year.

After the Fed hinted at a pullback from its bond-buying program last year, bonds from the safest “investment grade” companies fell 6.2 percent in less than two months, according to Barclays Capital.

The Fed risk Now, the U.S. central bank, which has done so much to lift prices, is threatening to knock the market from its perch.

The Fed plans to end its own bond-buying program after its next meeting in October, and is widely expected to raise shortterm interest rates it controls next year. Bond investors have occasionally sold in a panic when these rates have risen in the past.

What will happen to bonds when the Fed hikes rates this time?

The last time it started raising them in 2004, investors barely flinched. The time before that, in 1994, they fled in panic. The Fed surprised investors with six hikes in 10 months, and bond funds lost a record 2.8 percent.

The drop may seem small, but the damage was widespread. Big investors like hedge funds were hit hard. Orange County, California, went bankrupt. The Standard and Poor’s 500 stock index fell 9 percent in three months.

Today the Fed is telegraphing its every move and most investors think it will raise rates in slow and predictable increments. And all that cash that fund managers hold will help, too. Cash comprised 8.8 percent of assets in August, versus 6.3 percent before last year’s sell-off in May, according to the Investment Company Institute.

Rio Arriba naming new sheriff County Commission expected to choose James Lujan to replace convicted Rodella

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

ESPAÑOLA — Rio Arriba County commissioners are expected to designate James Lujan as sheriff Thursday to replace convicted felon Tommy Rodella.

Lujan, 52, who worked as a deputy in the Rio Arriba County Sheriff’s Office for eight years before he was fired by Rodella, also 52, defeated Rodella in the June Democratic Party primary by 200 votes. With no Republican opposition in the November general election, Lujan was set to start his four-year term in January.

But at a special County Commission meeting Wednesday, officials said they were preparing for Lujan to start his job earlier than expected, since Rodella automatically lost

his position when he was convicted Friday on federal charges of violating the civil rights of an Española man while brandishing a firearm.

Lujan, who retired from the Santa Fe Police Department as a sergeant, said he is prepared to take on the James Lujan sheriff’s duties.

Rio Arriba County Commission Chairman Danny Garcia said after a closed-door session Wednesday that the commission needed to give 24 hours of notice to the public of its intentions before taking a vote to appoint a new sheriff.

First Judicial District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco earlier this week petitioned the state District Court to declare that the sheriff’s position automatically was vacated after Rodella’s conviction. In the petition, she asked the court to “formalize the vacancy of the office and allow the County Commissioners to appoint a new sheriff pursuant to the law.”

A-7

A hearing on the petition before 1st District Court Judge Sheri Raphaelson in Tierra Amarilla isn’t scheduled until Oct. 9.

Rodella said Tuesday through his lawyer, Robert Gorence, that he refuses to resign.

Carlos Trujillo, a spokesman for the Rio Arriba County Manager Tomas Campos, said the county stopped paying Rodella’s $56,000 annual salary Friday, when he was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service.

Rodella faces up to 10 years in federal prison on his conviction for violating 26-yearold Michael Tafoya’s civil rights. On a count of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, Rodella faces a mandatory seven years in prison to be served consecutive to any sentence imposed on the other charge.

The sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 26, after which Gorence has said he intends to file an appeal.

Police chief apologizes for flap over promotions Garcia didn’t wait for OK from city manager, who denied bump fpr officer facing grand jury inquiry

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Santa Fe Police Chief Eric Garcia won’t reinstate the promotions of two officers who were returned to their previous ranks after the city manager refused to sign off on the promotion of a commander who is being investigated by a grand jury.

But the chief did say he’s sorry for announcing the changes too soon.

“I apologize for announcing the promotions before obtaining the City Manager’s approval,” Garcia wrote in response to a grievance filed on behalf of Sgt. Michele Williams and Detective Craig Ernst.

“Likewise, when the City Manager did not approve my recommendation to promote Sergeant Williams to Lieutenant, no vacancy was created into which to promote Detective Ernst,” the chief wrote.

“The City Manager did not approve the recommended promotion actions,” Garcia’s letter states. “I issued my memorandum announcing the promotions prior to obtaining the City Manager’s approval.”

From the professions he has chosen — first journalism, now teaching — nobody would have suspected that David Miles wants to be a millionaire.

But apparently he does. Last month, he flew to the East Coast to be a contestant on the syndicated television game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? His episode is scheduled to air next week.

“I’ve been watching the show for years,” said Miles, an English teacher at the Santa Fe Indian School. “It’s on at 11:30 a.m., so I can’t normally watch it during the school year, but during the summer I do.”

It’s not the first time he he’s tried out for a national game show. In 2010, when Wheel of Fortune held auditions at the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino at Pojoaque, he was there. “I got a call-back,” he said. Unfortunately, the show was taping during a time when Miles had to administer standardized tests to his students, so he had to decline.

So is he a millionaire now?

into teaching, said he signed a confidentiality agreement that prohibits him from talking about what he might have won, or even discussing the questions he was asked during the taping in Stamford, Conn., on Labor Day. To do so, he said, he would have to forfeit any money he won. (Each contestant gets a minimum of $1,000 to help defray travel expenses.)

The show holds auditions around the country for potential contestants, Miles said. He considered going to one held in Las

Vegas, Nev., last year, but he’d found out about it too late to prepare for it, so he waited a year. In August, he flew to Salt Lake City for an audition.

There he was given 30 multiple-choice questions from a wide array of categories. From watching the show and reading up on it, Miles knew that having correct answers is just part of what the show’s producers are looking for. “They like to see how the contestants react to the questions,” he said.

For instance, Miles said, he was

asked during the audition which animal is associated with former President Theodore Roosevelt.

Though he knew right away the correct answer, Miles said, he told an anecdote about how he had read about Roosevelt in college, so he knew the answer was “bull moose.”

It worked. Miles was chosen to appear on the show.

At the audition, Miles wore a small piece of a deer antler on a leather strap around his neck for luck. This was a gift from a student from the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, Canada. The show’s producers noticed it. “I said I thought it had brought me luck because I didn’t get any math questions,” he said. When Miles got the notification that he’d been chosen to be a contestant, the producers told him, “Be sure you bring the deer antler.”

To prepare for his appearance, Miles began an intense regimen of study on a variety of topics:

TAOS — Prosecutors will present evidence to a second grand jury regarding a Tennessee woman who, along with her five children, was involved in a state police traffic stop near Taos on Oct. 28, 2013, that devolved into fighting and gunfire.

In an order dated Sept. 25, a New Mexico Court of Appeals judge ordered a November indictment against Oriana Farrell dismissed.

The decision followed objections to the grand jury process that led to her indictment on charges of aggravated fleeing, child abuse and possession of narcotic paraphernalia.

A relative of the state police officer Oriana Farrell — who fired at Farrell’s minivan as she drove away from the Talpa traffic stop — served on the grand jury that heard evidence against her, but staff from the 8th Judicial District Attorney’s Office dismissed the woman before the panel issued an indictment.

Attorneys representing Farrell later objected, noting prosecutors did not have the authority to dismiss a grand juror even if there was a valid reason to do so.

“It’s a slippery slope to allow the district attorney to take over here or there,” one of Farrell’s lawyers, Kathryn Hardy, told 8th Judicial District Court Judge John Paternoster during a May 8 hearing.

Paternoster denied a motion to quash the indictment on those grounds, but the court of appeals overturned his decision.

Farrell is not in the clear, however.

City manager still seeks finance director Snyder: Interviews fail to find right one

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Santa Fe City Manager Brian Snyder has interviewed seven or eight people who applied for the job of finance director following Marcos Tapia’s resignation under fire.

But Snyder said he hasn’t found the right fit.

“We haven’t closed any of the candidates out yet, but at the same time, we haven’t found a candidate that I’ve felt comfortable moving forward

Jeff denies travel cost claim The Associated Press

A maverick Democratic lawmaker said Wednesday that the state Democratic Party is trying to undermine her write-in candidacy by alleging ethics violations involving her travel expense reimbursements.

Rep. Sandra Jeff of Crownpoint said in a statement that she had receipts and documentation to show there was no Sandra Jeff double dipping in reimbursements for trips to Santa Fe she made last November and December.

The party’s executive director filed a complaint Tuesday against Jeff, asking the secretary of state to investigate whether Jeff had violated ethics rules by receiving taxpayer reimbursements for legislative trips and using campaign funds to pay for gasoline and food during the same time.

Jeff said the complaint is a “shameful act of desperation by party bosses who are stooping to new lows” to try to defeat her in the general election and help the Democratic nominee.

“It’s pathetic that they are going on a wild goose chase trying to take me down even though I have a proven record of standing up for my people and district, even if it means breaking party lines,” Jeff said.

She has supported Republicans and GOP Gov. Susana Martinez on some issues, becoming a swing vote because Democrats only hold a narrow majority in the House.

Jeff decided to run as a writein candidate after failing to win a place on the June primary election ballot because she didn’t submit enough nominating petition signatures.

“So, we’re continuing to look at the candidates and also look at those who may not have gone through an interview

process.”

City Councilor Joseph Maestas asked Snyder during Monday’s Finance Committee meeting if he was willing to readvertise the job and try “casting the net further and wider.”

“This is probably one of the most important appointments

in the executive staff,” Maestas said.

Snyder said he was willing to seek more applicants, but not ready just yet.

“We’re going back through the screening process to make sure that we haven’t missed anybody, and if we do, we definitely will go back and interview them,” Snyder said in an interview.

Snyder said the city interviews candidates with the best qualifications and who have served as finance directors elsewhere, preferably in the municipal sector.

In brief Santa Clara Pueblo man pleads guilty to assault A 23-year-old Santa Clara Pueblo man pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to two counts of assault resulting in serious bodily injury, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albuquerque said in news release.

Brandon Tafoya, who lived in Española, was arrested last year, prosecutors said, after he knowingly drove a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol in April 2013 and crashed into another vehicle, causing two women to suffer serious bodily injuries.

On Wednesday, Tafoya acknowledged that as a result of his actions, the victims suffered internal injuries, cuts and lacerations, the news release says. One of the victims also suffered a hip fracture and a pelvic fracture, the statement says.

Under the terms of the plea agreement, Tafoya will be sentenced to a prison term not to exceed three years, including two years at a rehabilitation program and a year in a transitional halfway house.

PNM warns of scam calls using fake 800 number Public Service Company of New Mexico says an 800 number with a recording that sounds just like the real toll-free PNM number is a fake and is a scam aimed at taking money.

Don Tarry, PNM vice president of customer service and chief information officer, said in a news release that a customer reported receiving a phone call this week from someone purporting to be from PNM. The caller, who used a fake toll-free number, said the customer would be disconnected if the customer didn’t pay up right away.

“We advise our customers to be skeptical of any unexpected calls from people claiming to be from PNM,” Tarry said. “Especially if someone asks you to pay with a Green Dot or other prepaid card. Be safe. Call us at the number on your bill or posted at PNM.com before you pay.”

But that may have left out other qualified candidates.

He said he is in the process of looking at all the applications again “and making sure we haven’t missed anybody.”

“It’s such an important position. … We can’t afford to make a bad decision,” he said, adding that it’s a job with “quite a bit of turnover” in the last five years or so.

S.F. man sentenced to 15 years in federal prison A 24-year-old Santa Fe man was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years in federal prison for being an armed felon, federal prosecutors said.

Joshua Gomez was indicted in March on a charge of unlawfully possessing a firearm and ammunition on Jan. 8, after Santa Fe police and Homeland Security Investigations arrested him during a criminal investigation.

Gomez pleaded guilty to the indictment in June, a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office says. The statement says Gomez will be on three years of supervised release for being an armed career criminal.

Governor wins challenge over green building codes Republican Gov. Susana Martinez has won a legal challenge over her administration’s repeal of “green” building standards implemented when Democrat Bill Richardson was governor.

The state Court of Appeals last week upheld a decision by the state Construction Industries Commission to revamp building codes.

The court had set aside a commission attempt in 2011 to overhaul the Richardson administration’s building requirements for energy efficiency.

The commission readopted its code revision last year and tried to address the court’s earlier ruling that it hadn’t provided sufficient reasons for the changes.

Environmentalists appealed, contending the commission still hadn’t justified the code overhaul.

Doug Meiklejohn of the New Mexico Environmental Law Center said Tuesday that no decision has been made on whether to take the case to the state Supreme Court.

Westminster adds 2 new breeds Wirehaired viszla, coton de tulear able to compete in February show

NEW YORK ne is a rugged, versatile hunter conditioned to withstand frosty Hungarian winters. The other is a happygo-lucky companion from the island of Madagascar.

Both will join the pack at the Westminster Kennel Club show next year.

The wirehaired viszla and the coton de tulear are the latest breeds to be added to the nation’s premiere canine competition, set for Feb. 16-17.

The club’s leaders — and Luna the coton de tulear and Falko the wirehaired viszla — looked ahead to the show at a news conference Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.

Luna stood politely as organizers discussed plans for the first Westminster show to include her small-but-sturdy breed, dubbed the “royal dog of Madagascar” and known for its flowing, cotton-like coat and chipper disposition.

“I say they’re a big dog in a small dog’s boots,” Luna’s breeder and co-owner, Adrianne Dering of Morgantown, W.Va., said afterward.

The breed initially developed on its own in the island nation off southeastern Africa, then

became popular with Madagascar’s aristocracy and later with French colonists, according to the United States of America Coton de Tulear (pronounced koh-TOHN’ du TOO’-lay-ahr) Club.

“They’re just very adaptable, and they like everybody,” Dering said. Prospective owners need to be prepared to brush the dogs’ long coats a few times a week, unless they’re kept in a shorter cut.

The wirehaired viszla (pronounced VEEZ’-shlah) was bred to be a hardy, all-weather hunting aide in the rough terrain of northern Hungary, with a brushy coat and somewhat heavier build than its cousin the viszla. But the wirehaired hunters know how to be low-key: Falko, owned by Anton Sagh of Montreal, Canada, relaxed on the floor before his star turn.

Breeds are added to the show after the American Kennel Club recognizes them, which requires having several hundred dogs of the breed nationwide, among other criteria. There are now 180 AKC-recognized breeds.

FBI turns animal cruelty cases into top-tier felony Serial killers start with torturing pets

By Sue Manning The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Young people who torture and kill animals are prone to violence against people later in life if it goes unchecked, studies have shown. A federal category for animal cruelty crimes will help root out those pet abusers before their behavior worsens and give a boost to prosecutions, an animal welfare group says.

The FBI has filed animal abuse under the label “other” along with a variety of lesser crimes, making cruelty hard to find, count and track. The bureau announced this month that it would make animal cruelty a Group A felony with its own category — the same way crimes like homicide, arson and assault are listed.

“It will help get better sentences, sway juries and make for better plea bargains,” said Madeline Bernstein, president and CEO of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles and a former New York prosecutor.

The category also will help identify young offenders, and a defendant might realize “if he gets help now, he won’t turn into Jeffrey Dahmer,” she said.

Law enforcement agencies will have to report incidents and arrests in four areas: simple or gross neglect; intentional abuse and torture; organized abuse, including dogfighting and cockfighting; and animal sexual abuse, the FBI said in statement. The bureau didn’t answer questions beyond a short statement.

“The immediate benefit is it will be in front of law enforcement every month when they have to do their crime reports,” said John Thompson, interim executive director of the National Sheriffs’ Association who worked to get the new animal cruelty category instituted.

Officers will start to see the data are facts and “not just somebody saying the ‘Son of Sam’ killed animals before he went to human victims and 70-some percent of the school shooters abused animals prior to doing their acts before people,” said Thompson, a retired assistant sheriff from Prince George’s County, Md. FBI studies show that serial killers like Dahmer impaled the heads of dogs, frogs and cats on sticks; David Berkowitz, known as the “Son of Sam,” poisoned his mother’s parakeet; and Albert DeSalvo, aka the “Boston Strangler,” trapped cats and dogs in crates and killed them by shooting arrows through the boxes.

FUNERAL SERVICES & MEMORIALS

IN LOVING MEMORY WILLIAM EWING RIDDLE William Ewing Riddle, a resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico passed away on September 26, 2014 due to complications from a recent fall. Bill died peacefully at the Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center surrounded by the members of his immediate family.

Bill was born to Helen Fleck and Harvey Washington Riddle in Guilford, Connecticut on August 5, 1942. He graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor and Master’s of Engineering Physics in 1966. He subsequently attended Stanford University, receiving his Ph.D in Computer Science in 1972. He was a member of the faculty in the Computer Science Departments of the University of Michigan and the University of Colorado, where he mentored many students. In 1986, he became Chief Technical Officer and Executive Vice President of the Software Productivity Consortium.

He subsequently founded and served as President of Software Design and Analysis, a software consulting firm and was also the founder and Director of the Rocky Mountain Institute of Software Engineering, which provided workshops and conferences related to software engineering technology. He was a Fellow in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and was active in the American Association of Computing Machinery, receiving a Distinguished Service Award from that organization in 1999.

In addition to his professional endeavors, Bill was a student of the arts with a love for music, opera and culturally significant art and cuisine from the many places he lived, worked and visited in the United States, Europe and Asia. He was an avid photographer, bird watcher and genealogist and was always careful to document and file the knowledge he stewarded with precision and care. In his later years, Bill devoted much of his time to genealogical research. As the webmaster for the Ewing Family Association and editor of the Ewing Family Journal, he contributed greatly to their ongoing efforts. His warm presence and gentle spirit found friendship everywhere he went.

Bill is survived by his former wife, Margaret Ward Riddle of Boulder, Colorado and their daughters Jeannette Riddle Flynn of Cottonwood Heights, Utah, and Ellen Riddle Taylor of Larkspur, California; granddaughters Jessica Ellis Flynn, Brittany Alexander Flynn, and Erin Lynn Taylor and grandson John William Taylor; sister, Mary Elizabeth Riddle of Vermont; niece, Susan Harrington of Washington; nephew, Paul Schmidt of Alpine, Wyoming.

Angie Saavedra Lopez, a longtime Santa Fe resident, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on Sunday, September 28, at Christus St. Vincent Hospital.

Angie was the driving force of her family, a rock-solid matriarch exuding strength, compassion and an incredible zest for life. She was an unbelievable mother and best friend to her four children, developing different but equally meaningful bonds with each of them. Blessed with a wealth of generosity, empathy and sense of humor, Angie touched everyone in her life.

She was an exemplary wife, sister, aunt, mother-in-law, friend and an especially doting grandmother. She was the shining star who brightened everything and everyone in her path.

Angie was born in Albuquerque and raised in the New Mexico communities of Tokay, San Pedro and Socorro. A devout Roman Catholic, she was active with the church and in the community, and made her family especially proud in the mid-1960s when she was honored as the top fund-raiser for the March of Dimes. Her absolute passion was gardening, especially tending to her flowers. She also enjoyed cooking for her family, was an avid horse racing fan and supported her grandchildren in various sporting activities.

Angie is survived by her son Walter K. Lopez (Santa Fe); daughter Linda DeBruyn, her husband Ed, son Eddie and daughter KK (Santa Fe); son Pat Lopez, his wife Mari, son Bosco (Santa Fe) and daughter DeAnza (Los Angeles); son Mark Lopez, his wife Catherine, daughters Ariana and Nina and son Dean (Albuquerque); her sister Sarah Vigil (Las Cruces); and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Salomon, parents Onesimo and Dominica Saavedra; brother Pete Saavedra and sisters Alva Gonzales, Beatrice Romero and Rosa Peralta.

Angie possessed an extraordinary presence and was just as beautiful in death as she was in life. And although she has entered into Our Lord’s heavenly kingdom, her passing has created an irreplaceable void in our lives and she will be dearly missed.

A rosary to celebrate Angie’s life will be recited at 7 p.m., Wednesday, October 1, at Berardinelli Mortuary, 1399 Luisa Street, Santa Fe, N.M., (505) 984-8600. A Mass of Christian burial will be held Thursday, October 2, 9 a.m., at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 1301 Osage Avenue, (505) 983-5034. Interment will follow at Santa Fe National Cemetery at 10:30 a.m.

Serving as pallbearers will be Angie’s grandchildren DeAnza Paredes, Eddie DeBruyn, KK DeBruyn, Ariana Lopez, Dean Lopez, Bosco Lopez and Nina Lopez.

Her life was not short and sweet for which we are thankful. Along the way she married Donald Luchessa and gave birth to Michael, Karen, Bruce, and Scott. She mastered many art forms and transformed her pain and suffering into beauty. Although a native Californian at heart, she chose to live in the high desert of Santa Fe and it was here that she passed on September 17, 2014. She will be missed by her children, their spouses and offspring as well as many relatives, friends and fellow artists. It seems fitting that the first rains of autumn are falling from the heavens like tears to refresh our souls. A celebration of her life is in the works.

COMMENTARY: FRANK BRUNI

Serving, not protecting, isn’t enough

M

y mother used to leave the front door unlocked. She used to leave the side and back doors unlocked, too. This was mostly a function of sloppiness — she had four kids, three pets and a whole lot else on her mind — but when pressed about it, she reasoned that anyone bent on intrusion would find a way and that it was all a matter of chance in the end.

She missed her calling as the director of the Secret Service.

What we’ve discovered over the past week and a half about the crackerjack operations of this elite agency boggles the mind, and nothing I learned during Tuesday’s congressional hearing into its procedures did anything to un-boggle it.

Since, Director Julia Pierson has stepped down.

The subject was how, on Sept. 19, a deranged man managed to get deep inside the White House — much deeper, it turns out, than the agency initially let on. We were first given the impression that he’d merely made it through the front door.

Only later did The Washington Post and other news organizations unearth that he had zipped down the vestibule, past a staircase, through the East Room and almost to the Green Room. By the time all the facts emerge, we’ll find out that he treated himself to a grilled cheese and a glass of Ovaltine in the kitchen, where he was interrupted mid-sandwich and given a doggie bag.

At the hearing, there were acute questions and ludicrous ones, genuine concern and disingenuous grandstanding, florid preening and runaway egos, which is to say that many politicians were crowded into one room.

There was verbiage so oblique it barely qualified as English, which is to say that government officials testified.

Front and center was the now former head of the Secret Service, Julia Pierson, who behaved in the manner of so

many beleaguered bureaucrats before her. She pledged reviews, reports, inquiries and assessments — a brimming thesaurus of self-examination — and tried to run out the clock.

She muttered sentences like this: “In downtown areas, there is sound attenuation.”

This was a reference to the Secret Service’s confusion in 2011 over whether someone had been shooting at the White House or a motor vehicle in its vicinity had backfired.

The answer was shooting: Seven bullets hit one of this country’s defining symbols, which is also the president’s private residence, in which he and his family must feel — and be — unconditionally safe. And it wasn’t Secret Service agents who identified the evidence. It was a housekeeper, happening upon shattered glass days after the fact.

These aren’t minor, random smudges on the record of the Secret Service, which was also embarrassed a few years ago when agents on assignment in Colombia partied with prostitutes. They’re cause for grave worry and a different kind of housecleaning.

Nothing about the events of Sept. 19 honors the responsibilities and capabilities of a great nation. According to Pierson’s testimony, two agents that day had eyes on the intruder, who was known to them as a potential troublemaker and had shown up at the White House fence less than a month earlier with a hatchet. They were right not to detain him then: He’d committed no crime. But how could their monitoring of him during his return visit be so lax that he even got over that fence?

Not a beast or a beep worked properly. The guard dogs didn’t guard. The alarm boxes didn’t alarm. The front door couldn’t be locked automatically as he sprinted toward it, because it wasn’t rigged that way. We can fly drones over Pakistan, but we can’t summon a proper locksmith to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.?

Time and again, Washington validates the naysayers who like to dismiss it as the capital of bureaucratic incompetence. The president unveils his signature health care reform — arguably the cornerstone of his legacy — and the website repeatedly

crashes. The IRS loses whole years of emails. A contractor for the National Security Agency steals away with a seemingly bottomless trove of classified documents.

The Department of Homeland Security fails to keep track of more than 6,000 foreigners in the country on student visas, or so ABC News reported in early September.

There’s precedent, yes, for White House intrusions. An uninvited guest once watched a movie with Franklin D. Roosevelt before being detected.

And America isn’t alone. In 1982, Queen Elizabeth II awoke in Buckingham Palace to encounter a strange man in her bedroom. He and she reportedly chatted for 10 minutes.

I guess the palace didn’t have all the “layers” and “rings” of security repeatedly mentioned at the congressional hearing, though a lot of good all those layers and rings did us. In the end, it’s people who make the difference. The Secret Service needs better ones.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Going meatless a step in right direction

I

f you worry about climate change and want to reduce your carbon footprint, you can ride your bike to work or buy a hybrid, but to make a bigger difference, cut back on meat consumption, especially beef. According to the United Nations, meat production accounts for 18 percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, whereas transportation accounts for 13 percent. Livestock need grain, water and land. Fertilizer and pesticides (energy intensive to produce) are used to grow that grain, and the meat needs to be transported. Local livestock still emit methane gas (23 times more potent than carbon dioxide) and pollute our water and wilderness areas. We need a smarter power grid, Congress needs to pass legislation to improve gas mileage in cars, and we need to reduce meat consumption.

You can vote at the polls and vote with your wallet and help the planet. Meatless Mondays at schools and local restaurants sound like a step in the right direction.

us. Unlike a tornado or flood disaster that immediately attracts millions of dollars of emergency funding, the day-to-day, the largely hidden disaster of poverty is no less an emergency.

Sadly, poverty’s worst victims are children whose lives will be forever hindered by malnutrition, substandard education and low-paying jobs. Federal assistance such as food stamps and increasing the minimum wage can help, but other needed responses are mostly local and not that expensive — food-bank support, family mentoring, preschool programs, aid for homeless school children, etc.

Can’t afford it? How can we dismiss the needs of our poorest and youngest citizens while New Mexico’s $14 billion Land Grant Permanent Fund is generating income of $700 million each year? What is the Permanent Fund for, if not for supporting our children?

s if the battle over whether to spend more on early childhood education and expand preschool in New Mexico isn’t heated enough, here’s another wrinkle to give advocates for children a headache. Preschool might be too late to close the achievement gap between poorer families and their middle- and upper-class counterparts.

Researchers in the 1990s found that children from poor families heard roughly 30 million fewer words than more affluent children by their fourth birthdays. This “word gap” is being pointed to as one major reason for the achievement gap between poor and not-so-poor.

So while children are at home, perhaps watching television all day, or sitting with a baby sitter who is talking to her friends on the telephone, or even stuck in a playpen with little interaction with grown-ups, they are not receiving the right kind of attention they need. This research, though, shows a way forward to helping parents do a better job of preparing their children for opportunity later in life.

It all comes down to words. Talking to babies while bathing them, or strolling through the park, or sounding out letters while at the grocery store, all are ways of interacting that are not always second nature to grown-ups.

Children of parents who do take time to chat and converse with their babies and toddlers will do better. If we know that — and we do, because of research — it’s time to put both public and private dollars toward helping close the word gap.

After all, a child who has learned to read but lacks the vocabulary to process the words on a page will fail reading tests. Holding that child back in third grade isn’t going to help guarantee success; expanding vocabulary before third grade ever starts, even before the first day of kindergarten, truly can improve a child’s chance for success. We can even take ideas from programs around the country, without having to reinvent the wheel in Santa Fe or New Mexico.

Cities such as Providence, R.I., have made decreasing the word gap a community effort through “Providence Talks.” That program, launched earlier this year with 75 families, is being measured in real time by Brown University and is the first such effort led by a city. Its lessons will be evaluated and shared, so that other families can benefit as the movement grows. Providence’s program won the Grand Prize in the 2012-13 Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge, taking a $5 million prize out of 304 submissions.

Other ideas and inspiration can come from the Thirty Million Words® Initiative, a program in Chicago focusing on increasing the vocabulary of small children, empowering parents and caregivers step by step. Its focus on parents as the first teachers of children is especially promising.

Also in its initial stages, the initiative is designed to grow to include day care centers and eventually, roll out to the entire community.

In New Mexico, where children are lagging, we need to start early — with vocabulary, so that by the time school begins, every child is prepared for success.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Oct. 2, 1914: Roswell — Roswell now has the first day nursery ever to be established in New Mexico, the Federated Missionary societies of the city having opened their new establishment yesterday. The nursery is primarily intended to aid those mothers who must also be breadwinners. Heretofore, older boys and girls have been forced to stay out of school to take care of these tots while their mothers went out to their daily work.

The societies have funds in hand to sustain the institution for two months, but it is hoped to make it self-supporting or nearly so.

Oct. 2. 1989: Hobbs — A dog living in a rural area of Hobbs was diagnosed as having Lyme disease, a tick-borne malady that officials have said could not be found in the state, a veterinarian said.

Bumgarner, Giants silence Pirates

By Will Graves The Associated Press

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner, right, is doused with water Wednesday as he is greeted by teammates after the Giants defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL wild-card playoff in Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH — Brandon Crawford figured the San Francisco Giants needed one run, maybe two, the way ace Madison Bumgarner was dealing.

A grand slam provided all that and more, silencing a revved-up crowd and propelling San Francisco into the meat of the playoffs.

Streaking in May and slumping in September, the Giants are back to their old resilient selves in October.

Hey, it’s what they do this time of year.

GENE PUSKAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Crawford’s slam off Edinson Volquez in the fourth inning led the Giants to an 8-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League wild-card game Wednesday night, sending San Francisco on to Washington for the best-of-five Division Series starting Friday.

“We thrive in these situations,” Crawford said. “I don’t know what it is. We just keep fighting no matter what the circumstance.”

The Giants won their eighth consecutive postseason game and

Vikings to try to contain Packers’ Nelson

By Genaro C. Armas The Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Building a successful working relationship between a quarterback and receiver requires a lot of time and communication.

After seven years together, there are few better combinations in the NFL than the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson.

A quarterback renowned for accuracy throwing to the league’s leading receiver, and they’ll try to keep the Packers’ passing game rolling against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.

“The best players are often the smartest players and the ones that have the distinct attention to detail,

ayla Herrera is on the rise again on the volleyball court.

Which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Good in that her 9-foot-2 vertical reach gives her the height needed from any good outside hitter to do damage against an opposing defense. The bad is when the timing is just a little off between her and the set, whether it’s the set or Herrera’s ability to hang in the air a tad bit too long, and those sonic boom kills turn into more creative efforts for Herrera.

It is the boom-bust cycle of a hitter, but it’s been mostly boom for the Santa Fe High senior outside hitter, who is averaging 11.5 kills per match.

“I know I am not going to get the perfect set

“

She’s invaluable. She sometimes leads our digging in some games, and when she’s serving, she’s right on.”

Head coach Sam Estrada every time,” Herrera said. “I think that’s where my athleticism comes in handy in that I can reach as high as I can and still tip or use it. Some other player might fall short or not have a chance to make the ball better.”

Herrera’s approach this season has been to make the ball better in whatever way she can. For the past two seasons, she has been a regular on the court, doing her part in the front and back rows as well as the service game. While she made a name for herself for her hitting, Herrera has taken pride in her strong defense and serving as well.

She is second on the team in digs (116) and tops all players with 21 aces at the service line. About the only thing Herrera and Demonettes head coach Sam Estrada would like to see is a better serving percentage, which is at 84.6 percent.

It was an area Herrera made a conscious effort to improve upon after last season.

“I know my serving percentage was just awful and I was so frustrated,” Herrera said. “I can see the improvement and it just feels good that you

An officer stopped Phelps, who was driving 84 miles per hour in a 45-mph zone, at roughly 1:40 a.m. on Tuesday after the Olympian cleared the tunnel toll plaza, according to charging documents. The officer also observed Phelps drift out of his lane while driving toward the tunnel.

Phelps: Attorneys say swimmer unlikely to serve much jail time Continued from Page B-1 Michael Phelps walks away from the starting block after winning the men’s 100-meter butterfly at the Bulldog Grand Slam swim meet July 11 at the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

Phelps was placed under arrest after initially refusing to take the one leg stand test. Shortly afterward, the officer wrote, Phelps asked to take the test by the side of the road, but “appeared disoriented, argumentative and did not attempt the test.”

He did, however, end up taking the one leg stand test at the transit police station, but was “swaying slightly and did not look at his elevated foot as instructed,” the officer wrote.

This is Phelps’ second time facing DUI charges. Phelps was arrested and charged with drunken driving as a 19-year-old, fresh out of his second Olympic games where he won six gold medals.

Phelps pleaded guilty to the charges, but as a young first-time offender Phelps avoided conviction. A Wicomico district court judge granted him probation before judgment, imposing

18 months’ probation and a fine but waiving the conviction, which means Phelps faces the same penalties a first-time offender would.

If convicted of the latest charges, Phelps faces up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine and the loss of his driver’s license for six months. However, according to Baltimore-based attorney Andy Alperstein, who has represented other professional athletes facing DUI charges, if Phelps’ sentencing is on or after Dec. 29, 2014 — exactly 10 years since his last sentencing — a judge could potentially grant Phelps probation before conviction for a second time.

Some attorneys say either way, Phelps is unlikely to serve any jail time.

“He’s more likely to be eaten by a polar bear than go to jail for a year,” said attorney Lenoard Shapiro, a former prosecutor with the Baltimore County State’s Attorney who specializes in drunken driving cases. “If incarcerated at all, it’ll likely be for a weekend.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Santa Fe Prep beats ATC in overtime The New Mexican

When the Santa Fe Prep girls soccer team needed a goal in overtime, Cate Martin came through once again.

The Blue Griffins S.F. Prep 2 didn’t have the prettiest performance in a DisATC 1 trict 2A-AAAA match with Academy for Technology and the Classics at the Municipal Recreation Complex on Wednesday, but they still scored two unanswered goals to escape with a 2-1 win in overtime.

ATC (3-8-1 overall, 0-4 2A-AAAA) scored first with a long ball from freshman Jamie Romo that went right over the head of goalkeeper Martin near the end of the first half, a half that Prep head coach Stephanie Coppola was not pleased with.

“It seemed like the match had no rhythm,” she said. “They were really compact and we kept sending the ball to a bunch of white jerseys [ATC].”

The Blue Griffins (4-7-2, 3-2) tied it quickly with a goal from Izzy Pagano in the 44th minute, and the score remained 1-1 until the end of regulation.

Coppola pulled Martin from the net and

put her on the field in the first overtime period, and the move paid off when Martin sent a cross to teammate Blake Trevisani for the winning goal in the 88th minute.

VOLLEYBALL SANTA FE WALDORF 3, NEW MEXICO SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 0 The Lady Wolves (6-2, 2-1) got their first District 1A win of the season with a 25-23, 26-24, 25-4 sweeping of the Lady Roadrunners in Larsen Gym. If you’re wondering why the score in Game 3 was so lopsided, it’s because Waldorf head coach Josie Adams didn’t put her starters in until the final game to give her second unit some quality experience.

“We’re ready to play ball, and it’s good to see that my second group is ready to play ball as well,” Adams said.

Freshman Beatrice Lowe stole the show for the Lady Wolves with 29 service points, eight of which were aces, and had 13 straight serves in Game 3 to go with 16 digs.

NMSD (2-3, 1-1) was led by Janell Miller’s seven kills, while senior Amberley Luna had four aces, four kills, seven assists and five digs.

“I knew it would be tough,” said NMSD

head coach Amanda Lujan. “I told the girls I didn’t expect a win necessarily, but I wanted them to play with some pride and sportsmanship.”

MCCURDY 3, MORA 0 The Lady Bobcats didn’t welcome the Rangerettes to their new district with open arms with a 25-20, 29-27, 25-20 sweeping Memorial Gymnasium in both teams’ District 5AA opener.

Mora (2-4, 0-1) put up a fight, but McCurdy (4-3, 1-0) stayed one step ahead.

“It was a good match,” McCurdy head coach Anita Rodriguez said. “All three sets were close the whole time. Things just went a little more in our favor.”

Senior captain Maria Elena Rendon had 12 kills for the Lady Bobcats, Tanisha Velasquez added 10 and Maria DeVargas had 25 assists.

CUBA 3, MONTE DEL SOL 1 The Lady Dragons managed just one win in a 22-25, 12-25, 27-25, 11-25 nondistrict loss to the Lady Rams in the Genoveva Chavez Community Center.

Monte del Sol (3-9) got eight digs, five kills and one assist from Jessica Sandoval and three kills and three blocks from Ariana Rodriguez.

Herrera: Also working on her approach Continued from Page B-1 know you can improve on something when you put your mind to it.”

It’s not like Estrada ever has any doubts about Herrera’s ability, which he has witnessed on the volleyball court since she was a freshman.

“She’s invaluable,” Estrada said. “She sometimes leads our digging in some games, and when she’s serving, she’s right on. She’s a really tough server.

She just needs some more reps and she’ll be fine.”

Another area that Herrera worked on was her mental approach, which she felt caused her problems last year.

She went from being the top hitter on the team as a sophomore (averaging 9.5 kills per match) to No. 2 behind Hannah Hargrove. Herrera felt that she thought too much on the court and it affected her ability to hit the ball smoothly.

While she is not taking a “see the ball, hit the ball” approach, Herrera said she is more relaxed when she attacks the net.

“When I am out there during a game, I try not to concentrate too much,” Herrera said with a smile. “That’s when I tend to mess things up.”

Still, she has to put in some effort to make sure she is on the same page with setters Isabella Christian-Padilla and Shania Borrego. They both have different styles and Herrera has to adjust quickly to whoever is feeding her the ball.

“Bella is like, ‘Let’s run some

hot threes,’ which is our quick sets,” Herrera said. “She’s like, ‘Let’s do it.’ While Shania will

say, ‘Let’s go four this time,’ and the transition from one setter to another kinda throws me off

sometimes. But when I get a good hit, I can really tell. The set is perfect, the timing is perfect, you jump up to swing and everything is in system.”

When everything lines up, Herrera can take advantage of her leaping ability and do what good hitters do.

“It gives you a good view of the court when you’re up that high,” Estrada said. “You can hit around the block, or even over the block if the it isn’t too big.

It makes it that much more difficult for the defense to handle [the ball].”

The past two matches, though, have shown what happens when everything is off. Santa Fe High, despite a 9-2 record, looked sluggish in a sweep of St. Michael’s, and followed that with its most lackluster performance in the District 1AAAAAA opener at Rio Rancho. The Demonettes rarely made a good pass on defense to set up the setters for effective plays. Herrera managed just nine kills as the Lady Rams swept the match 25-10, 25-18, 25-16.

“It was a big wake-up call for us,” Herrera said. “We got really down on ourselves at times and after the [match], we discussed it as a team. It can’t affect us for [Thursday, against Rio Rancho Cleveland]. we need to just forget about it and leave everything on the court.”

If that can happen, it won’t be just Herrera rising to the occasion.

Salazars’ Las Vegas, Española roots run deep uuu

By James Barron The New Mexican

While Tuesday night’s West Las VegasEspañola Valley volleyball match was a father-daughter matchup, the relationship between the Salazar family and the two schools goes beyond Española head coach Damon Salazar and Karli Salazar of West Las Vegas.

Fred Salazar is a 1960 graduate of West Las Vegas, but had family in Española, which in turn, encouraged him to move to the town and raise his family.

He and his wife moved back to Las Vegas, and regularly attend Lady Dons matches.

Also, the two teams competed against each other in summer camps at West Las Vegas and Española, and they traveled together to San Antonio, Texas, for a camp and spent two weeks together.

“That family is our family,” senior setter Nicole Romero said of both programs. “We spent a lot of time together. It was a good bonding experience. It was nice.”

While Albuquerque High put an end to a four-year winless football drought over the weekend, the Capital volleyball program got to experience some joy of its own during the Tournament of Champions.

After losing 27 straight matches, the Lady Jaguars finally posted their first win since 2012 when they beat Las Vegas Robertson in the opening silver bracket match of the tournament.

Capital quickly followed that up with its first win over a AAAAA program in two years by sweeping Farmington to make it to the silver bracket title match. The last time Capital won was a three-game sweep over Bernalillo in the District 2AAAA (now 2AAAAA) Tournament on Nov. 5, 2012. uuu

Pecos has been in a state of flux for the past two weeks. Head coach Leonard Velasquez took a leave of absence in early September because his son, Isaac, a senior at Santa Rosa, was ill. Assistant coach Jolene Ortiz took over the program until

Velasquez returned Monday.

It was a notable return as the Lady Panthers ended a four-match losing streak Tuesday, beating East Mountain in three games.

As a side note to coach Velasquez’s return, a benefit golf tournament for Isaac Velasquez will be held on Sunday in Santa Rosa at 10 a.m.

For more information, or to register, call Louie Romero at 575-799-1404. uuu

When Coronado beat Santa Fe Waldorf on Saturday, it ended a 23-match district winning streak by the Lady Wolves, who hadn’t lost since the District 5B Tournament in 2011. Waldorf won the last two district regular-season and tournament titles before Class B became A. Coronado, which was in Class A, remained in the class and moved into 1A. The Lady Leopards are coached by Bill McLaughlin, who spent four years as the head girls basketball coach at Grants before taking the job in Gallina.

Giants: Win 8th straight postseason game Continued from Page B-1 seventh straight with their season on the line, a streak that dates back to their run to a World Series title in 2012.

While much work remains

before they can start thinking about the franchise’s eighth championship, there was certainly a familiar feeling at PNC Park as San Francisco dismantled the Pirates.

“We’ve been through it

before, a lot of this team has,” Brandon Belt said. “We used that experience tonight. We know when we get in these situations we’re going to have a good ballclub.”

Particularly when Bumgar-

ner is on the mound. He tossed a four-hitter with 10 strikeouts, needing 109 pitches to put a quick end to Pittsburgh’s second straight playoff appearance.

Cowboys’ Spillman subject of reported sex assault GRAPEVINE, Texas — Dallas Cowboys special teams player C.J. Spillman is under investigation but hasn’t been arrested or charged after a report of an alleged sexual assault at the team hotel last month.

Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling said Wednesday night that the alleged incident took place early the morning of Sept. 20 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.

The team flew to St. Louis later that Saturday, and Spillman played against the Rams the next day.

He has played in all four games, including last weekend at home against New Orleans. His only tackle of the season came against the Rams. Spillman is listed as a safety but hasn’t played defense this season.

Spillman’s agent, Ron Slavin, and attorney Bruce Ashworth declined to comment. The Cowboys didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Eberling said no other details were being released because the investigation is ongoing.

The alleged incident came less than 24 hours after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell held a news conference to address concerns about the way the league has handled domestic violence cases.

“Obviously, we see what’s going on with the NFL, but these things are very sensitive in nature when it comes to the victim,” Eberling said. “We don’t release any details involving these type of crimes while they’re under investigation.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Manning about to join Big weekend for Big Red: Favre in 500 TD club Nebraska’s chance to rise

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning’s next touchdown throw will be his 500th, and he’s spreading the credit around just like he does the football.

The five-time MVP doesn’t like to talk about individual accomplishments.

As he approaches another milestone in a career filled with so many big moments, however, Manning took time Wednesday to reflect on all the help he’s received on his 499 TD passes.

He acknowledged that, yes, he looks at his TD throws and interceptions every year because if the former is high and the latter low, “that means you’re getting your team in the end zone and that means you’re protecting the ball. I think that particular statistic usually leads to winning football games.”

“As far as the other thing, obviously, you’re just trying to win this football game,” Manning said. “But when asked about it, I have reflected on how many great teammates and coaches that I’ve been with along the way that have been a part of that. You don’t throw that many touchdowns without a lot of help.”

It’s not just the 44 players who have caught one of Manning’s TD throws, but the rest of his teammates and coaches.

“As my old center Jeff Saturday said, the only reason I’ve thrown that many is because I had great protection for so many years. Typical lineman speaking, especially one in the media now,” Manning said. “But to tell you the truth, he’s right.

There are so many people that have helped me along the way.”

He’ll face men who made big early impressions on him Sunday when the Denver Broncos (2-1) host Arizona (3-0).

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was Manning’s first quarterback coach when Manning arrived in the NFL in 1998. And Arizona’s assistant head coach Tom Moore was his offensive coordinator during his 13 seasons in Indianapolis.

The Cardinals would love to delay Manning’s milestone another week, but they know as well as anyone that it’s probably just wishful thinking.

“That’s tough because Peyton always finds a way to get the ball in the end zone,” Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said.

The last time Manning didn’t throw a TD pass was Nov. 14,

In the most interesting and important Saturday of the college football season so far, no team faces a more crucial test than Nebraska.

The 19th-ranked Cornhuskers visit No. 10 Michigan State on Saturday with a chance to leap into national title contention. It’s one of six games involving 12 ranked teams that will help sort out the playoff race.

Marquee matchups NO. 3 ALABAMA (-6) AT NO. 10 MISSISSIPPI Rebels fans hoping ESPN’s “College GameDay” in the Grove isn’t the highlight of the day in Oxford. Tide has won 10 straight in series … Alabama 31-21.

Auburn 35-24.

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning figures to surpass Favre’s record of 508 TD throws later this month.

2010, against Cincinnati.

So, chances are No. 500 will come sometime Sunday.

“He’ll probably brush it off like it’s just another touchdown,” Denver nose tackle Terrance Knighton said. “But I know it means a lot to him.”

And chances are Manning’s touchstone touchdown won’t come down in the arms of a receiver, either.

Tight ends Julius Thomas (five) and Jacob Tamme (two) have accounted for all but one of Manning’s eight TD tosses this season.

Newcomer Emmanuel Sanders went into the Broncos’ bye last week as the league leader in catches (25) and yards (334), yet he still waiting to spike a TD toss from him — unlike Denver defensive tackle Mitch Unrein.

“It’s still kind of a shock to me that I have a touchdown from Peyton,” Unrein said.

Sanders can’t wait to join the list.

With 14 catches so far, Thomas jokingly asked Sanders on Wednesday if he could spare a reception.

“All right,” Sanders retorted.

“I’ll trade you for a touchdown.”

Thomas said Sanders can have No. 500 if he wants it.

“I’ve already got a couple milestones,” said Thomas, who

caught Manning’s 51st TD throw that broke Tom Brady’s singleseason record last year. It was one of his dozen TD receptions that surpassed Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe’s team record for tight ends.

“I hope they throw it to me,” said Knighton, noting that a jelly-belly lineman a few lockers down caught one.

Unrein lined up at fullback on Dec. 2, 2012, slipped into the left flat unencumbered on firstand-goal from the 1 and hauled in Manning’s floater to help the Broncos beat Tampa Bay 31-23.

Manning has thrown 100 TD passes in the regular season since his arrival in Denver.

His first in a Broncos uniform was the 400th of his career and it came on a 71-yard screen pass to Demaryius Thomas.

Manning figures to surpass Favre’s record of 508 TD throws later this month.

Behind them are Dan Marino (420), Drew Brees (370), Brady (363), Fran Tarkenton (342) and John Elway (300).

Told he has nearly 200 more TD passes than his boss, Manning said: “He probably has a few more rushing touchdowns than I do.”

Elway has 33 of those, Manning, 18.

quarterback had an impressive debut in his first career start with 317 yards passing in a 41-28 win last week over Atlanta. But he sprained his left ankle in the game and his status is uncertain. Christian Ponder would start if Bridgewater can’t go.

Zimmer’s D: The last time Mike Zimmer coached against Green Bay, he was the defensive coordinator for the Bengals in a 34-30 win last year in Cincinnati. Rodgers said the Vikings’ defense is running some similar schemes.

“You know a key is to stay out of third-and-extra-longs because that’s when his scheme and his defense really thrive,” Rodgers said.

Smooth Rhodes: It’s a good thing for the Vikings that cornerback Xavier Rhodes is coming off the best game of his twoyear career: five tackles and four pass breakups against Atlanta’s potent offense. But Zimmer would rather not have to get into another high-scoring affair.

“I hope not. I don’t really like those shootouts,” Zimmer said.

On the run: While the Packers’ passing game is clicking, the running attack needs work.

Eddie Lacy, the 2013 Offensive Rookie of the Year, is off to a slow start, and Green Bay is just 28th in the league on the ground.

Green Bay is even worse against the run, ranking last.

Kansas made a similar move The dilemma in firing a coach before the season’s end is deciding whether to make a change right away or see if the coach can do something to save his job by the end of the season. When Miami (Ohio) athletic director David Sayler fired Treadwell last season, the RedHawks were 0-5 and Sayler sensed a turnaround wasn’t in store that season. He believed “the whole program was in a malaise of hopelessness” and it needed to be addressed immediately. “If you really feel the decision is that you’re going to make a change at the end of the year, I’d absolutely go ahead and do it again during the year,” he said. “It reaches a tipping point where you just know it’s the right decision.

The continent’s backbone Film chronicles the rigors of walking the Continental Divide Trail

By Daniel Gibson For the New Mexican

N

ew Mexico is often described as lying along the “backbone” of North America — that is, the Rocky Mountain chain and the Continental Divide that separates the river waters of the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean.

A rough foot trail — the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, often simply called the Continental Divide Trail or CDT — now parallels this backbone, running 3,100 miles from the Canadian border to the Mexican/New Mexico border. Hiking its length is a huge physical and mental challenge, but more and more people are undertaking it as the various segments of the trail are finally stitched together.

Now, a film about the CDT and the rigors met while hiking it has been created. Walking the Great Divide will be screened Sunday at the Center for Contemporary Arts as part of a 14-day, eight-city tour in Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and California.

The film was written, shot, produced, directed and edited by Mark Flagler, and he spent 42 days in New Mexico walking segments of the trail.

In a recent phone interview, he said, “One of my favorite places of the entire trail is located in New Mexico on San Luis Mesa, which is covered with hoodoos and the adjoining Rio Puerco Valley, dotted with volcanic plugs. Another highlight was walking in the Chihuahua Desert from the Mexican border. The Gila Cliff Dwellings were fantastic, and the Malpais section [southeast of Grants] was incredible too.”

Every section of the trail has its challenges for Flagler. In New Mexico, he said the primary obstacles “were the lack of water in the desert segments and navigation.” Due to private land holdings and Indian res-

In brief Exploring Bandelier’s secrets gets easier October offers five special programs for photo opportunities, night sky viewing and wilderness hikes at Bandelier National Monument near Los Alamos.

ervations, the CDT in New Mexico has yet to be permanently designated, and hikers are forced onto roads at various times. He was told by through hikers (those who aim to complete the entire trail) that “New Mexico has the most confusing segment of the CDT due to this.”

Flagler shot the film in 2006-07, covering almost half the trail himself.

He did extensive research, reading

Valles Caldera.

He will lead another hike Oct. 20 in the Tsankawi section of the park.

In both instances, participants are encouraged to dress for various weather elements, and bring snacks, water and be prepared for the high altitude. Spaces are limited. Make reservations by calling the Bandelier visitor’s center at 672-3861, ext. 517.

Weather permitting, park ranger Geoff Goins will lead night sky programs on Saturday night and again Oct. 11 at the Juniper Campground Amphitheater in Bandelier. Both dates were chosen because of the lunar cycle; Saturday’s moon will not be full

literature and talking to authors and hikers, identifying most scenic and worthwhile places and sections to visit and film.

“So before I set out on the trail, I had lots of ideas about where to go and what to see,” Flagler said. “But once you get out there, it’s kind of organic — unexpected things come up and it kind of grows.”

Flagler called the most distinguishing characteristics of the CDT are the “beauty and wildness. It is untamed and you have to rely on yourself.

You really have to know what you are doing. You can get seriously lost, there are lightning storms above treeline, heat, snow and wildlife — including grizzlies. It can be scary, daunting and intimidating. It’s an experience like no other.”

In addition to documenting the trail, its beauty and wildlife, the film also focuses on hikers he met along the way, as well their own struggles,

motives and rewards.

“The film is really their story,” Flagler said.

Since its release, Walking the Great Divide has been shown on PBS several thousand times to more than a million households, and won a Telly Award for best videography. The movie followed a similar film he produced about hiking the Appalachian Trail, Appalachian Impressions, which PBS has aired to close to a million households.

Flagler hopes to complete the “Triple Crown” of America’s long distance trails with a film on the Pacific Crest Trail. In the future, he hopes to undertake a huge project to document what is called the International Appalachian Trail, which follows the approximate route of the ancient mountain range extending through what are now Canada, Greenland, Scandinavia and Europe.

The range once wound through the ancient super-continent of Pangaea.

And how did the 41-year-old filmmaker’s love of trails begin? He grew up in Knoxville, Tenn., where he learned backpacking and hiking from his grandparents just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

“I used to hike portions of the Appalachian Trail before I knew it existed,” Flagler said.

Flagler now lives in Ireland, where he is involved in many commercial and documentary film projects, including work for the government agency “Jump into Ireland” — sponsors of this tour. He met his Irish wife on the Appalachian Trail.

“Great and lasting friendships are often created on the trails,” Flagler noted. “We hiked 900 miles together. You spend all day, day after day, together, at times tired, hungry, cranky and dirty. It is a shared experience, and you get to know one another so well.”

and should offer good viewing while the moon will rise late Oct. 11, keeping skies dark for optimal star gazing.

Both programs will include a talk and then telescope viewing. Campers and non-campers are welcome.

On Oct. 19, as part of the celebration of the anniversary of the Bandelier Wilderness, longtime Bandelier ranger Dale Coker will take hikers from Ponderosa Campground down to Upper Crossing, then down Frijoles Canyon to the visitor center.

Following the floods in the canyon, there is no longer an established trail over much of the distance. Much of the route is either in or crossing Frijo-

les Creek. It is rough terrain and rocky, covering a distance of about 8 miles and requiring roughly 5 or 6 hours of hiking time.

There will be a shuttle back to Ponderosa. For reservations, call 672-3861, ext. 517.

Enchanted Circle a foliage destination In the past month alone, Taos and the Enchanted Circle have topped several “best fall trip” lists in the country.

Among the national publications to rave about the area’s fall foliage are

New Mexico’s state fish, the Rio Grande cutthroat trout, no longer is a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this week.

The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish published the findings Tuesday on its website.

According to the report, aggressive conservation efforts by the department and its partners have enhanced or restored pure-strain native cutthroats in 127 streams that are open to public fishing. Rio Grande cutthroats now occupy about 700 miles of stream habitat.

After reviewing current scientific information about the cutthroat’s populations, genetic diversity and habitat conditions in its historic range in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado, the federal agency deemed that the fish is in no danger of extinction. The Rio Grande cutthroat was designated a candidate for listing in 2008, mostly because its habitat had dwindled to 11 percent of what it once was.

“Tuesday’s decision is a tribute to the hard work by the department and its public and private partners to conserve our state fish and keep it off the endangered species list,” said Paul Kienzle, chairman of the State Game Commission. “It also ensures recreational public fishing opportunities for Rio Grande cutthroat trout for years to come.”

According to the commission’s report, the most impressive restoration effort has been the ongoing project to restore pure-strain native cutthroats to the Rio Costilla watershed, which consists of more than 150 miles of streams, 25 lakes and the Costilla Reservoir. More than 70 miles of streams have been restored and more than 33,000 native fish have been stocked in those waters since that project began in 2007. This year, the department plans to stock another six miles of restored waters.

All of the stocked Rio Grande cutthroats come from the department’s Seven Springs Hatchery in the Jemez Mountains, which raises nothing but genetically diverse, pure-strain fish for restoration and recreation.

“Keeping native trout in our state’s streams and lakes is extremely important to us, not only because it’s the department’s mandate to protect native species, but also because it’s our goal to provide anglers with opportunities to catch them,” said Bryan Bakevich, the department’s Rio Grande cutthroat trout biologist.

“The Rio Grande cutthroat is found only in one place in the world — Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. We need to keep them around.”

Elevations above 8,500 are beginning to peak and will reach their height in colors this weekend. In the Carson National Forest, several hiking spots allow for prime leaf peeping while hiking, including Middle Fork Trail 24, Devisadero Trail and Williams Lake Trail.

The 85-mile Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway Loop can take anywhere from 2½ hours to half a day, depending on stops.

SUGGESTIONS FOR A “FUN” CAR

BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI

Dear Tom and Ray: I am newly retired. I have always purchased the cheapest car sold by each brand (Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla). I now find myself with enough money to purchase a more upscale, fun car for the first time in my life. I love the Miata,

to place your ad, call

but my back just won’t take the lack of height of the sports car. I am thinking of a slightly used upscale car like the Lexus ES. But I know I’ll be upset with the high cost of repairs. Help me find my first fun car.

-- Lana TOM: You’re pulling in two di≠erent directions here, Lana.

RAY: On the one hand, you want something fun. You’re tired of driving a boring automotive appliance.

TOM: On the other hand, automotive appliances are nice and reliable!

RAY: So we’ll give you two di≠erent kinds of suggestions.

TOM: A used Lexus is certainly a fine choice.

While “fun” wouldn’t be the first word I associate with Lexus, it is quiet, comfortable and reliable.

RAY: You will pay more for repairs, because the co≠ee is better and the carpet is thicker in the Lexus waiting room. So

you have to be prepared for that.

TOM: As an alternative, instead of an entry-level luxury car, we often recommend that people get a completely decked-out version of a non-luxury car.

RAY: For instance, instead of a Lexus ES350, you could get a loaded Toyota Camry XLE (on which the Lexus is based). You’d save some money on the purchase price, and you’d save money on repairs.

When the Camry is loaded to the gills, the cars are very comparable -- and comparably equipped.

TOM: So one suggestion would be to look at a fully loaded Camry, Accord, Altima or any other car you like from a non-luxury manufacturer. But get every option you could possibly want on it to make it luxurious to you.

RAY: If we disregard your concerns about repair costs and just focus on “fun,” then, Lana, I see you in a

British Racing Green Mini Cooper convertible.

TOM: That’s as much fun to drive as the Miata, but it’s more than just a few inches o≠ the ground. If you’re of a certain age and you get a Miata, you also have to get the optional winch to lift you out of the driver’s seat.

RAY: The Mini is reasonably upscale. You can get it with leather seats, a navigation system, heated seats and all that. And it’ll cost you about 35K brandnew.

TOM: Chances are, it won’t be as reliable as your Civics and Corollas have been. But it’s got a fouryear, 48,000-mile warranty, so you can drive it troublefree for four years, and then decide if you love it enough to keep it for the long haul.

RAY: Or if you’ve had enough “fun” and are ready to back to a Civic. Enjoy whatever you get, Lana.

Today in history Today is Thursday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2014. There are 90 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Oct. 2, 1944, German troops crushed the two-month-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people were killed.

Relax and think before you speak. Tonight: Out and about.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reach out to someone you care about, but know that what you hear might surprise you. You come from a solid point of view.

Tonight: Let someone be distant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Recognize that you have control over yourself but not someone else. A close loved one or family member will need to figure out his or her own priorities.

Tonight: Visit over dinner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might consider having a heart-to-heart talk with someone who seems to be in control of his or her life, and it could have a big effect on you. Tonight: Say “yes.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be at odds with your own plans now that you are at the point of acting on them. Tonight: Get several important errands done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You have a lot to share, and so do others. Your goodwill and caring will come through. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Family is snubbed after son’s suicide Dear Annie: Recently, our 18-year-old son chose to take his life soon after his high school graduation. Now we are left trying to pick up the pieces and move forward. We live in a small community, and everyone is well aware of what happened.

Our youngest son just started the sixth grade and came home sad. He says he feels that he doesn’t have friends anymore and that everyone is talking about him behind his back. The parents of his used-to-be friends have shunned him because of what has happened in our family. I have felt the snubbing as well with my own encounters.

I have contacted our middle school guidance counselor, and she will keep an eye out for our son, but how do we stand up for ourselves? We feel devastated. We not only lost our beloved son, but we feel like outcasts in our own community. Moving is not a possibility right now. What can we do?

— Confused and Hurting Dear Confused: Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your son. We know this is a terribly painful time for your family, and it is hardly a comfort for us to say that time will alleviate some of your concerns about your community. Until then, please contact the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org). You can find information, referrals to therapists, and support groups where you can share your grief with others who have suffered a similar tragedy. They also can connect you to support groups for children and teens.

Dear Annie: Our father has become a rather strange miser. He doesn’t hoard his money. Instead, he manipulates others to obtain things for free.

When he needed Band-Aids, he finagled a handful when he went to the doctor (and also asked for pharmaceutical samples). When he needed rubber bands, he stopped the postman. He tells his neighbor that he’s a horrible cook and encourages them to bring him their leftovers.

Money is not the issue. Is he

being a master manipulator, or is this normal? — Bewildered in California Dear California: A lot of people do this, either to save money or because they get a mild thrill out of the ability to snag freebies.

If Dad has always been like this, we wouldn’t worry. He isn’t stealing or hoarding, and people are willing to enable this behavior.

However, if this is a recent development, please get Dad to his doctor for a full checkup. New and odd behaviors can be symptoms of underlying medical conditions (e.g., small strokes) that require treatment.

Dear Annie: You often recommend Al-Anon for spouses of alcoholics. I was led to Al-Anon 38 years ago, and it saved my life and those of my children. I learned about how alcoholism affects the whole family. I also learned that we are so centered on the alcoholic that our lives revolve around him. But in Al-Anon, I changed my focus and became happier.

My husband was a wonderful man afflicted by the disease of alcoholism. I tried for 10 years to change him, only to discover that I probably hindered his recovery by thinking his drinking was partly my fault. Discovering that he was sick and that I had also become sick because of his drinking was an eye opener. Three years before he died, he wrote that if it hadn’t been for the Al-Anon program, we would not be together today.

What a beautiful written memory our children have of their father.

I encourage anyone out there to try Al-Anon. You might be surprised at what you can learn at a meeting. For information, call 1-888-4AL-ANON (1-888425-2666) or visit www.al-anon. alateen.org. — B.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Keep your priorities straight, and stay anchored. Let others put in their two cents. You might feel as if there is a lack of support from an important friend. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be overly concerned about a call or email. Do some research before reacting — there will be another path to the same result. Tonight: Find your friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will like being mellow.

You might not be in the mood to take action, but a sudden reversal could cause your adrenaline to surge. Tonight: Make it OK to say “no.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will think that you are on cruise control, but you are likely to hit some obstacles if you are not careful. Tonight: Decide what you want before making plans.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might not be comfortable assuming the role you are in, yet you’ll see the benefits. Trying to control this person will backfire, and it won’t bring what you want. Tonight: Vanish.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A meeting could set the tone of your day. You have so much energy that others won’t be able to keep up with you. Tonight: Act like the weekend is here.
