Feds blast LANL plans for biodefense labs Audit urges nuke agency to reconsider $9.5 million expansion project By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

A federal report released Monday criticizes a proposed expansion of Los Alamos National Laboratory to add

labs that study dangerous biological agents. In the report, auditors urged the National Nuclear Safety Administration to reconsider the additions before following through with them. The audit by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Inspector General questioned the fiscal prudence of the projects, whether Los Alamos’ reports justifying them were accurate and whether the facilities are even needed. “Given the current budget realities,

plans to develop additional capabilities without fully demonstrating a need may not be prudent,” the audit concluded. Greg Mello, executive director of the watchdog organization Los Alamos Study Group, said he hopes the audit’s findings end any plans to conduct research on biological agents at Los Alamos. “Let us hope this report is the end of these misguided ambitions,” Mello

Frenetic and fearless entertainer dies at 63

Robin Williams, the Juilliardtrained actor and uncontainably exhibitionist comic who became one of the most dazzling all-around talents in show business, winning an Academy Award for a dramatic role in Good Will Hunting and an Emmy for his stand-up work, was found dead Monday at his home in Tiburon, Calif. He was 63. The Marin County Sheriff’s Office said a preliminary investigation indicates the cause of death was a suicide due to asphyxia but that an investigation is continuing. His media agent said he had been battling depression. Long fueled by an alcohol and cocaine addiction, Williams was a motormouthed and unpredictable entertainer in whatever medium he was working, whether movies, television, Broadway or gala performances before Prince Charles of England. “In England, if you commit a crime, the police don’t own a gun and you don’t have a gun,” he told an audience, referring to the tactics of London police toward criminals. “So it’s stop … or I’ll say stop again.” He was a satirist, an Oscar-winning dramatic actor and mimic of everyone from Carol Channing to

A half-dozen local authors were among more than 900 writers who signed a letter published Sunday in The New York Times accusing online retailing giant Amazon of harming their livelihoods in a commercial dispute with trade book publisher Hachette. According to the authors, Amazon has targeted Hachette’s authors in an effort to force the New York Citybased publisher to agree to Amazon’s terms for marketing e-books. Among other things, they say Amazon stopped accepting preorders on Hachette books, which can be the key to a book’s success and affect its chances of making bestseller lists. The letter encouraged readers to contact Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and gave his email address (jeff@amazon. com). The two-page ad was paid for by Santa Fe-based Authors United, a group organized by Douglas Preston, a writer who divides his time between Maine and Northern New Mexico, and who with Lincoln Child is the author of thrillers and horror novels such as The Lost Island and White Fire. Although many authors offered to share in the $104,000 cost of the ad, it was apparently paid for by some of the most successful. And they reportedly got a deal from the paper. Some authors who agreed with Preston were afraid to sign for fear of retaliation by Amazon, however. Others signed and reneged, Preston said. But in recent weeks, the letter went viral with A-listers such as Stephen King, John Grisham, Scott Turow, Calvin Trillin, Anna Quindlen, Barbara Kingsolver, Donna Tartt and Jon

EBOLA DRUG RUNS OUT; DEATH TOLL HITS 1,013 MONROVIA, Liberia — Liberia announced Monday that it would soon receive doses of an experimental Ebola drug and give it to two sick doctors, making them the first Africans to receive some of the scarce treatment in a spiraling outbreak. The U.S. government confirmed that it had put Liberian officials in touch with the maker of ZMapp. In a statement, the California-based company said that it

In brief DEA paid $854K for passenger lists WASHINGTON — The Drug Enforcement Administration paid an Amtrak secretary $854,460 over nearly 20 years to obtain confidential information about train passengers, which the DEA could have lawfully obtained for free through a law enforcement network, The Associated Press has learned. The employee was not publicly identified except as a “secretary to a train and engine crew” in a report on the incident by Amtrak’s inspector general. The secretary was allowed to retire, rather than face administrative discipline, after the discovery that the employee had effectively been acting as an informant who “regularly” sold private passenger information since 1995 without Amtrak’s approval, according to a one-paragraph summary of the matter.

Clinton criticizes Obama’s cautious policies

Group accuses U.S., NATO of abuses in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan — Airstrikes and night raids by U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan have left “thousands” of victims and their families without justice, the human rights group Amnesty International said Monday in a detailed and hardhitting report. The report focused on 10 cases of attacks between 2009 and 2013 in which it said 140 Afghan civilians were killed. It said two of the attacks — a U.S. raid on a house in Paktia province and related incidents of kidnappings, torture and killings in Wardak province — involved “compelling evidence of war crimes.” The report was made public at a sensitive time as U.S. and other Western forces continue to withdraw from Afghanistan. A U.S.-Afghan security agreement, which will define the role and rights of residual U.S. forces that remain in Afghanistan after the pullout, has been delayed by problems with Afghanistan’s presidential election. The agreement will need the signature of whoever becomes president. The report criticized the U.S. military justice system, saying it had failed to hold American troops in Afghanistan accountable for abuses. It called on the future Afghan government to ensure that accountability for unlawful civilian killings is “guaranteed” in any future security agreements signed with the United States. The report said U.S. prosecutions for alleged military abuses here have been “extremely rare.”

The news comes as anger is growing over the fact that the only people to receive the experimental treatment so far have been Westerners: two Americans and a Spaniard, all of whom were evacuated to their home countries from Liberia. Late Monday, the World Health Organization said 1,013 people had died in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Authorities have recorded 1,848 suspected, probable or confirmed cases of the disease, the U.N. health agency said.

fourth consecutive year on its $5.7 billion prefunding payment for retiree health benefits. The Postal Service and postal-worker unions have asked Congress to repeal the controversial requirement, which became law in 2006. USPS operating revenue increased $327 million in the third quarter compared with the same span in 2013, reaching $16.5 billion with help from a temporary rate increase that took effect in January and growth in the Postal Service’s package business, according to the agency’s latest financial report. But total operating expenses amounted to $18.4 billion, giving USPS an overall loss. A workers’ compensation adjustment helped drive the cost, according to the agency.

Ukraine: Red Cross will lead aid mission DONETSK, Ukraine — Ukrainian forces on Monday zeroed in on rebel strongholds as the government welcomed an international humanitarian relief mission into the rebellious east involving Russia, the United States and the European Union. The mission will be conducted under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The organization said in a statement it is ready to facilitate the operation with the involvement of all sides concerned following a Russian initiative to provide humanitarian assistance to people in eastern Ukraine. It wasn’t clear when the deliver-

ies would start. “The practical details of this operation need to be clarified before this initiative can move forward,” said Laurent Corbaz, the ICRC’s head of operations for Europe and Central Asia. Moscow had long urged Kiev to allow the aid delivery, but Ukraine and the West previously had opposed the move, fearing that it could serve as a pretext for sending Russian troops into rebel-held territory.

Haiti police search for 329 prisoners PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The attack on a Haitian prison on the capital’s outskirts to free the son of a prominent businessman being held on kidnapping charges led to the escape of 329 inmates, officials said Monday. Police were searching nationwide for the escaped prisoners and have also asked for help from Interpol as well as authorities in the neighboring Dominican Republic and nearby Jamaica because some men may have fled abroad, National Police Chief Godson Orleus said at a news conference in Port-au-Prince. So far, authorities have only managed to capture 10 of the prisoners who escaped Sunday when armed gunman attacked the prison in Croix-des-Bouquets to free Clifford Brandt, a member of a wealthy family, who has been held since 2012 for allegedly running a kidnapping ring in the capital.

EDGARTOWN, Mass. — Laying out a foreign policy vision ahead of a possible run for president, Hillary Rodham Clinton made her most aggressive effort yet to distinguish herself from her former boss, President Barack Obama, rebuking his cautious approach to global crises and saying the U.S. doctrine has to go beyond “don’t do stupid stuff.” “Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle,” Clinton said in a weekend magazine interview, referring to a version of the phrase Obama and his advisers have used privately to describe his approach to foreign policy. Asked for her organizing principle, she replied: “Peace, progress and prosperity. This worked for a very long time.” Clinton’s critiques come as she weighs whether to seek the White House in 2016, and as Obama wrestles with tough choices on how the U.S. should engage in disputes erupting across the world. In a wide-ranging interview with The Atlantic published on its website, Clinton offered an uncompromising defense of Israel’s battle against Hamas in Gaza and argued against Obama’s decision not to build up a fighting force to confront Syrian President Bashar Assad. Clinton previously described her advocacy for the Syrian rebellion in Hard Choices, her memoir about her time leading the State Department. Obama has said supporting the rebels would not have stopped al-Qaidainspired groups from rampaging across Syria and inside Iraq today. Clinton and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta reportedly argued for arming the rebels who first stood up to Assad three years ago. Since then, the question of “arming the rebels” has become more complicated, as al-Qaida-linked and other fundamentalist Islamist groups have joined the rebellion. She told The Atlantic she can’t say definitively that her recommendations as secretary of state would have made a difference, but “the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled.” The White House declined to respond to Clinton’s comments, but said her team gave them a heads up before the interview was published. Clinton wrapped her critiques in expressions of respect for the president’s intellect and sympathy for the tough decisions he grapples with from the Oval Office.

Iraq nominates new leader amid deepening crisis Move to replace al-Maliki sets up fierce power struggle; U.S. arms Kurds

Demonstrators chant progovernment slogans and display placards bearing a picture of embattled Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Monday in Baghdad.

By Vivian Salama and Sameer N. Yacoub The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s president snubbed incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and picked another politician Monday to form the next government, setting up a fierce political power struggle even as the country battles extremists in the north and west. The showdown came as the United States increased its role in fighting back Sunni extremists of the Islamic State group that is threatening the autonomous Kurdish region in the north. Senior American officials said U.S. intelligence agencies are directly arming the Kurds who are battling the mili-

tants in what would be a shift in Washington’s policy of only working through the central government in Baghdad. U.S. warplanes carried out new strikes Sunday, hitting a convoy of Sunni militants moving to attack Kurdish forces defending the autonomous zone’s capital, Irbil. The recent American airstrikes have helped the Kurds

achieve one of their first victories after weeks of retreat as peshmerga fighters over the weekend recaptured two towns near Irbil. The Pentagon’s director of operations said the effort will do little to slow Islamic State militants overall. Haider al-Ibadi, the deputy speaker of parliament from al-Maliki’s Shiite

Dawa party, was selected by President Fouad Massoum to be the new prime minister and was given 30 days to present a new government to lawmakers for approval. U.S. President Barack Obama called al-Ibadi’s nomination a “promising step forward” and he urged “all Iraqi political leaders to work peacefully through the political process.” But al-Maliki, who has been in power for eight years, defiantly rejected alIbadi’s nomination as prime minister. In a speech after midnight Sunday, he accused Massoum of blocking his reappointment as prime minister and carrying out “a coup against the constitution and the political process.” In another speech broadcast Monday night, al-Maliki insisted al-Ibadi’s nomination “runs against the constitutional procedures” and he accused the United States of siding with political forces “who have violated the constitution.” “Today, we are facing a grave consti-

Israeli negotiators resume Gaza truce talks in Cairo Palestinians take advantage of lull By William Booth and Carol Morello The Washington Post

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli negotiators returned to Cairo on Monday to resume talks with Palestinians as a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip held throughout the morning. After a brief flurry of crossborder rocket and artillery fire between Gaza and Israel minutes before the 72-hour truce began at midnight, there were no reported violations throughout the morning. Residents of Gaza got up early to take advantage of the lull. Fishermen took to their boats, and some motored out to sea to

cast nets. There were even surfers playing in the waves. Lines formed quickly at banks and at stores selling bottles of cooking gas. Markets were packed. Some Gazans said they feared that the cease-fire would not hold, that one side or the other would walk away from the negotiations in Cairo, frustrated that their terms were not being met. The Israeli team arrived at midmorning in Cairo to resume the talks, which were suspended Friday when a previous ceasefire ended and militants in Gaza started firing upon Israel. In the short term, Israel seeks peace and quiet and the cessation of the indiscriminate rocket fire from Gaza that has sent Israelis running for bomb shelters day after day. Ultimately, Israel wants the Gaza Strip to

be demilitarized. And it would like to see the militant Islamist group Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip but which Israel and the United States brand a terrorist organization, replaced as the governing power in Gaza. The agenda for talks includes the rebuilding of Gaza after a month of Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling destroyed thousands of homes and much of the enclave’s infrastructure. The parties also are expected to talk about a possible prisoner release and about easing some of the restrictions that cramp daily life for many Gazans. There appears to be a wide gap between what would be acceptable to Palestinian negotiators from Hamas and those from the Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank. To the thinking of Hamas,

and many ordinary people here, Gaza deserves not punishment but something substantive for all the suffering and destruction the enclave has experienced, no matter who started the shooting. But Israel does not seem to be in any mood to reward Hamas. And the Egyptians, led by a military-backed government that hates Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, may not press the Islamist movement’s case. According to an official in the Palestinian Authority government in Ramallah, Palestinians want more Gazans to be permitted to leave the territory to visit the West Bank and Israel, under international monitoring. The Palestinians also are pushing for more crossing points to reopen or have their hours extended.

FERGUSON, Mo. — A black teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer had his hands raised when the officer approached with his weapon drawn and fired repeatedly, according to two men who said they witnessed the shooting that sparked a night of unrest in suburban St. Louis. The FBI opened an investigation Monday into the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who police said was shot multiple times Saturday after being confronted by an officer in Ferguson, a suburb of 21,000 that’s nearly 70 percent black. Authorities were vague about exactly what led the officer to open fire, except to say that the shooting was preceded by a scuffle of some kind. It was unclear whether Brown or a man he was with was involved in the altercation. Investigators have refused to publicly disclose the race of the officer, who is now on administrative leave. But Phillip Walker said he was on the porch of an apartment complex overlooking the scene when he heard a shot and saw a white officer with Brown on the street. Brown “was giving up in the sense of raising his arms and being subdued,” Walker told The Associated Press on Monday. The officer “had his gun raised and started shooting the individual in the chest multiple times.” The officer then “stood over him and shot him” after the victim fell wounded. Dorian Johnson offered a similar account when he told WALB-TV that he and Brown were walking home from a convenience store when a police officer told them to get out of the street and onto the sidewalk. Johnson said they kept walking, which caused the officer to confront them from his car and again

after getting out of the vehicle. Johnson said the first time the officer fired, he and Brown got scared and ran away. “He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and he started to get down,” Johnson said. “But the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots.” “We wasn’t causing harm to nobody,” Johnson said. “We had no weapons on us at all.” Walker acknowledged that he did not see a scuffle or the circumstances surrounding the first gunshot. The St. Louis County Police Department refused to discuss Johnson’s remarks, citing the ongoing investigation. But county Police Chief Jon Belmar previously said that an officer encountered Brown and another man outside an apartment complex, and that one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car and they struggled over the officer’s weapon. Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said there’s no video footage of the shooting from the apartment complex or from any police cruiser dashboard cameras or body-worn cameras that the department recently bought but has not yet put to use. Brown’s parents and their attorneys asked the public to share any information and video recordings related to the shooting.

tutional breach and we have appealed and we have the proof that we are the largest bloc,” al-Maliki said. “We assure all the Iraqi people and the political groups that there is no importance or value to this nomination,” he added. But despite angrily insisting he should be nominated for a third term, al-Maliki has lost some support with the main coalition of Shiite parties. His critics say al-Maliki contributed to Iraq’s political crisis by monopolizing power and pursuing a sectarian agenda that alienated the country’s Sunni and Kurdish minorities. In welcoming the new Iraqi leadership amid the country’s worst crisis since U.S. troops withdrew in 2011, Obama said the only lasting solution is the formation of an inclusive government. “These have been difficult days in Iraq,” Obama said while on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. “I’m sure there are going to be difficult days ahead.”

Koch: Brothers’ latest effort to help shape future of GOP Continued from Page A-1 Hispanic pastors. Its organizers pitch conservative ideals while offering tutorials on U.S. immigration law, support for overhauling the broken immigration system that stops short of campaigning for the Senate’s bipartisan bill and collecting donations for the unaccompanied children crossing the United States-Mexico border illegally. In effect, it is a shadow GOP — one with a gentle emphasis on social services and assimilation over a central party often seen as hostile to immigrants and minorities. “We’ve gone to areas that other conservative organizations don’t typically go,” said Libre’s Texas director Rafael Bejar, who helped distribute candy-packed Easter baskets at a San Antonio elementary school. Tucked in with the sweets: a pamphlet in English and Spanish noting that the national debt is approaching $17 trillion. It’s a subtle approach, for sure, when compared to other groups’ sometimes angry rhetoric. While some conservatives are staging protests over the waves of immigrant children pouring into the United States, Libre is working with a Tucson, Ariz., church to collect donations for the children being held at federal sites. A similar effort in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, the epicenter for the immigration surge, is on deck. It’s merely the latest effort of the Kochbacked pitch to Hispanic voters and the effort to shape the future of the Republican Party and American politics. In June, the United Negro College Fund, which provides scholarships to students attending historically black colleges, announced a $25 million donation from Koch Industries and the Charles Koch Foundation. Libre now has operations in eight states in the hope Hispanics will repay conservatives with their votes. Organizers already have 3,000 Texas volunteers, and similar undertakings in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Virginia. Libre is but one piece of the Koch brothers’ sprawling and effective network of conservative groups. Alongside the grass-rootsfocused Americans for Prosperity and the youth-oriented Generation Opportunity, Libre began courting Hispanic voters in 2011. On a recent, sweltering Thursday, Pastor Marcus Burgos wore a blue T-shirt stenciled with #BeLibre as he helped distribute food in a rough corner of northwest San Antonio. Needy families picked up cartloads of tortillas, watermelons and frozen pizzas — along with bilingual Libre pamphlets. “My belief is that their prosperity, when it comes, will benefit the entire community,” said Burgos, whose Abundant Life Church of God offers services in English and Spanish and occupies a former supermarket inside a strip mall. One of those taking home food was 45-yearold Elda Guevara, a mother of three and a loyal Democrat. She said she wasn’t ready to switch parties — but some of what she saw made sense.

An internal Republican National Committee report after the 2012 elections urged the party to consider more inclusive language about immigrants and Hispanics. “If they support immigration changes so that more people can get their papers in order, then I’m with them,” said Guevara, on medical leave from her job as a cook. In 2004, Hispanic voters were 8 percent of the electorate. By 2012, they represented 10 percent of all voters. At the same time, they became friendlier to Democrats. Republican President George W. Bush’s re-election bid captured 44 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, while Democrat Barack Obama won 71 percent eight years later. An internal Republican National Committee report after the 2012 elections urged the party to consider more inclusive language about immigrants and Hispanics. The RNC paid for Hispanic operatives in California, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. In Texas, that means $50,000 per month to the state party, allowing it to hire seven organizers focused on finding and recruiting Hispanics, especially those registered to vote. But progress is slow and frustration is growing, especially with the influx of unaccompanied children, mostly from Central America, crossing the border. “People, they tell me that, ‘I see Republicans as rich old men handling everything,’ ” said 23-year-old Crystal Rodriguez, who represents the Texas GOP in heavily Democratic El Paso. “But then they meet me, and they learn that’s not true.” Meanwhile, Libre is trying to turn the conversation to Democrats’ health care law. Hispanics historically lack health insurance but haven’t enrolled under new programs. Looking to capitalize on the skepticism toward what critics call “Obamacare,” Libre has run ads against Rep. Pete Gallego, a Texas Democrat who represents the San Antonio and El Paso suburbs and whose district is 71 percent Hispanic. In Arizona, Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick is being criticized for voting in favor of the health care law, and Libre has similarly blasted Rep. Joe Garcia of Florida with Spanish-language television ads. Not everyone is convinced. Abundant Life Church of God volunteer Dora Cantu was wearing a Libre T-shirt as she handed out food and clothing — but said she had no use for its conservative ideology. “If you put God first,” Cantu said, “there’s little room for politics.”

Amazon: Morrell calls tactics a ‘fourfold slam’ against authors Continued from Page A-1 Krakauer adding their weight behind the initiative. Among them were prominent local authors Michael McGarrity (Tularosa, Mexican Hat), David Morrell (First Blood, Murder as a Fine Art), James McGrath Morris (Pulitzer, Eye on the Struggle), Valerie Plame (Blowback, Fair Game) and Hampton Sides (Blood and Thunder, Ghost Soldiers). “As far as I see, this is a bullying tactic on the part of Amazon,” McGarrity said Monday. He no longer buys books from Amazon, choosing independent bookstores such as Collected Works or other online dealers instead. “I’m avoiding Amazon because I really have to put my money where my mouth is,” he said. Morrell, a Hachette author, is taking the dispute very seriously. “If I had a new title coming out now, it would be ruinous, perhaps enough to make me stop writing,” he said. Morris, who has been writing about this issue for months, said, “Amazon has grown to become such a dominant conduit for readers to obtain books. They are using their strength in ways that are unconscionable to get more money out of publishers. “This is the intellectual and literary heartbeat of our nation, and they’re strangling it. Ultimately, authors will be earning less and less, making the world of literature reserved for ones with means. Voices we should hear from, we won’t.” Besides removing pre-buy options for Hachette books from its website, the authors say, Amazon stopped discounting books by the publisher’s authors, delayed shipments of Hachette books by as much as three weeks and instead of proposing other Hachette titles to online customers, it is suggesting they might prefer a book by a non-Hachette author. “As writers — most of us not published by Hachette — we feel strongly that no bookseller should block the sale of books or otherwise prevent or discourage customers from ordering or receiving the books they want,” the letter says. “It isn’t right for Amazon to single out a group of authors, who are not involved in the dispute, for selective retaliation.” Morrell called the tactics a “fourfold slam” that has already damaged a lot of writers. In an Aug. 8 article, Preston, who was out of contact in Northern New Mexico on Monday, told The New York Times that since Amazon launched these actions against Hachette authors, his paperback sales are down 61 percent and his e-book sales are down 62 percent. And only a few thousand people had pre-ordered The Lost Island, his new novel with Child, compared to the 25,000 who pre-ordered White Fire, their previous book. McGarrity, who has 13 books for sale on Amazon, said he’s going to be watching the numbers “to see if Amazon instigated any changes against the ability of readers to purchase my books. Everyone who signed [the letter] will keep an eye out for that.” Morrell worries that this contract with Hachette will set the standard for the industry. “To the degree Hachette does whatever, this will

dictate what the other publishers no doubt will do,” he said. Two years from now, in another round of negotiations, Amazon could be asking for a $7.99 limit on the price of e-books, and then maybe $5.99 “until publishers cannot sustain themselves and basically you’ll see places going out of business,” he said. “Readers think, ‘Oh, boy, let’s have cheap books.’ But if we look far enough ahead, you enter circumstances where major publishers are weakened or eliminated and Amazon controls the market so that they can then start raising prices as much as they want,” Morrell said. He concedes that this could eventually help authors, “But the model Amazon is using at the moment is all they care about is the readers.” Because print runs depend on sales of previous books, Morrell said this could trigger a “spiral” of diminishing returns, and, therefore, “The issue here is huge. It’s a dramatic situation.” Amazon’s actions will make it increasingly hard for authors to commit three or four years of unpaid research and writing, Morris said. At the same time, Amazon is creating products that are profitable for authors, he pointed out. For example, he published a Kindle single with Amazon that was priced at $3. It sold in the thousands, and he got 70 percent of the revenue. “Authors are really stuck,” Morris said. “Some are writing profitably for Amazon at the same time they are pulling the rug out from under our publishers.” He stressed that publishers are the ones willing to take a risk and give writers an advance. Amazon’s Books Team, which claims Hachette is stonewalling in the protracted negotiations, responded to the ad with its own message, again comparing the literary establishment’s reaction to e-books to its circle-the-wagons response to the invention of the paperback. Both developments benefited readers by making literature less expensive for readers, Amazon says. “We want to lower e-book prices. Hachette does not. Many e-books are being released at $14.99 and even $19.99 That is unjustifiably high for an e-book,” it said, since there are no costs associated with printing, warehousing and transportation, or lost sales. Amazon reportedly wants a $9.99 limit on the cost of e-books in its Hachette contract. Amazon claims that readers buy more books when prices are lower. It says that for every copy sold at $14.99, customers would buy 1.74 copies if the book were priced at $9.99 Its message included the email address for Hachette CEO Michael Pietsch (Michael. Pietsch@hbgusa.com). The message also attracted attention from the well-read by misusing a quote from George Orwell about the introduction of paperbacks by Penguin. Amazon quoted Orwell as saying that “if publishers had any sense they would combine against them and suppress them.” But the full quote reads, “The Penguin Books are splendid value for sixpence, so splendid that if other publishers had any sense they would combine against them and suppress them.” Contact Anne Constable at 986-3022 or aconstable@sfnewmexican.com.

Williams: ‘Good Morning, Vietnam’ made actor a bona fide star Continued from Page A-1 Jack Nicholson, from a British actor rendering Hamlet to a ghetto tough to Henry Kissinger channeling the morgue-voiced actor Peter Lorre. Williams once said he took a crash course in Russian and was so good that he fooled real Russians into thinking he was one of them, “or else Czech or Polish.” Audiences gravitated to his unprintably profane comic riffs on guns, drugs, God and politics. Of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former bodybuilder and Hollywood-action-starturned-California-governor, Williams equated his branding as a moderate Republican to “a Volvo with a gun rack — you don’t see a lot of them.” Of the lackluster economy toward the end of President George W. Bush’s administration, Williams pointed out: “They say the economy is essentially sound because people are considering buying things. That’s like saying fat people are healthy because they might exercise.” Once, upon spotting a man carrying a poster from Alcatraz prison, he shouted, “A gift shop at Alcatraz!” and in a child’s voice pleaded, “Daddy, get me the electric chair.” It was nearly impossible to harness his style — although, when under skilled direction, he was able to offer restrained and surprisingly deft dramatic portraits. Williams won an Oscar as best supporting actor as a therapist in Good Will Hunting (1997) after having been nominated for leading roles three times, for his roles as an irreverent disc jockey in Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), an inspirational boarding school teacher in Dead Poets Society (1989) and a distraught widower in The Fisher King (1991). As a Hollywood actor, he was almost always compelling but uneven in his choice of roles, which shifted dramatically between riveting (Awakenings) and maudlin (Patch Adams) and in the comic realm between the expertly served (Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage) and thuddingly mediocre

(Night at the Museum). He also became a sitcom star as an eccentric extraterrestrial in Boulder, Colo., on ABC’s Mork and Mindy (1978-82) and always brought an unpredictable presence to cameo roles on television series of interview programs. Robin McLaurin Williams was born July 21, 1951, in Chicago and raised in a 30-room mansion in the affluent Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. His father, Robert, was a sales executive at Ford Motor, and his mother, Laurie, was a former model her son would later call a “Christian Dior scientist.” Each parent brought a much older child from a previous marriage into the family, leaving Robin to play by himself with 2,000 toy soldiers — giving each a different voice. As a child, Williams developed a sharp humor to attract attention from his parents. To his father, who liked to be called “sir,” he instead used the honorific “Lord Stokesbury, Viceroy of India.” He said his earliest comic influences were his mother, who enjoyed reciting funny poems, and Jonathan Winters, an absurdist improvisational comic of film and TV. In a remembrance of Winters after his death in 2013, Williams wrote in The New York Times that he was entranced by Winters’ effect on his normally staid father as the comedian played a series of more lunatic characters. And Winters’s tools were simple. By donning a pith helmet, he morphed into a “great white hunter” whose conception of wild game is squirrel. “I am for their little nuts,” Winters said. Williams wrote, “My dad and I lost it. Seeing my father laugh like that made me think, ‘Who is this guy and what’s he on?’ … Each transformation was a cameo with characters and sound effects. He was performing comedic alchemy. The world was his laboratory. I was hooked.” Williams’ father retired and moved to the family to Marin County, just north of San Francisco, during Robin’s senior year of high school. There,

classmates voted him the funniest and least likely to succeed. While studying political science at Claremont Men’s College, he took a class in improvisational comedy that changed the course of his life. He won admission to the Juilliard School in New York on a scholarship and trained under John Houseman, among other prominent stage actors and directors. His classmates included Christopher Reeve, William Hurt and Mandy Patinkin. He left in his third year to work in comedy clubs in San Francisco and, in 1978, married Valerie Velardi, a dancer. They had a son before divorcing. He married Marsha Garces in 1989 and had two children with her before they divorced. Survivors include his third wife, Susan Schneider. A complete list of survivors could not be immediately confirmed. “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken,” Schneider said in a statement. “As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.” It was his first wife who suggested Williams move to Los Angeles and direct his talents at television. His routines at prominent clubs — including a skit playing the chain-gang escapees portrayed by Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier in the 1958 drama The Defiant Ones — won him the attention of TV producers in the audience. This led to guest appearances on shows, including ABC’s sitcom Happy Days as the alien Mork. The show’s producers had turned down 50 performers for the role before Williams auditioned for Mork. “About five o’clock, in walked this boy with rainbow suspenders,” producer Jerry Paris told The New York Times. “When he sat down, I asked if he would sit a little differently, the way an alien might. Immediately, he sat on his head. We hired him.” Audience reaction was so swiftly

positive that the network gave Williams his own show as Mork in 1978. Mork and Mindy was about an alien from planet Ork sent to Earth in a giant egg to learn the mystifying habits of its people. Besides sitting on his head, Mork’s quirky tendencies include getting drunk on soda and falling hopelessly enamored of mannequins. His catchphrase: “Nanu nanu.” The sitcom co-starred Pam Dawber as a human love interest and, eventually, Winters as Mork’s extraterrestrial baby, Mearth, who ages in reverse. Critics found the show tiresome in its formula, but they were near-unanimous in their praise of Williams, who was afforded the rare freedom on network television to improvise on the set. He continued to perform on the comedy circuit while starring on TV, and he created a menagerie of profane and ridiculous characters such as the French-born conservationist Jacques Cousteau shilling for an oil company and the classically trained actor Laurence Olivier filming a commercial for Ripple, the low-budget plonk. His success as a TV star helped make one of his first comedy albums, Reality … What a Concept (1979), a million-seller, and propelled his work in movies. Williams made his leading man debut as the title sailor in Popeye (1980), a part he took because the critically esteemed Robert Altman was the director. However, the live-action film, based on the cartoon character, was a debacle that sunk at the box office. For the remainder of his career, Williams selected a wide range of parts in the hope that audiences would not only forget Popeye but see the dramatic potential behind the comic. This led to starring roles in The World According to Garp (1982), an oddly meshed comedy drama based on the John Irving novel, and Moscow on the Hudson, director Paul Mazursky’s comedy about a Soviet musician who defects at Bloomingdale’s and makes an uneasy adjustment to American life. With the Harold Ramis comedy

Club Paradise (1986), Williams said he made a stab at the blatantly commercial, much to his regret. “Club Paradise was a sheer effort of greed,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I just went for the cash and went, ‘Great, now make a commercial movie,’ and I got creamed.” He dove next into Seize the Day, a 1986 drama that aired on PBS and was based on a Saul Bellow novel about a man whose life is a series of work and family distresses. Williams told the Times he took actor’s scale wages and regarded the performance as one of his finest. The film that made Williams a bona fide star was Good Morning, Vietnam, as the loose-lipped DJ Adrian Cronauer on Armed Forces Radio in Saigon. The film, which reportedly made more than $120 million domestically, was best remembered for Williams one-liners amid the raging Vietnam War. In one scene, he is teaching New York-style insults to an English class filled with Vietnamese. He says he is from Queens. “What are Queens?” one student asks. “Tall, thin men who like show tunes,” he replies. If Good Morning, Vietnam proved Williams’ commercial potential on-screen, it took Dead Poets Society to transform him into a believably dramatic performer in the minds of mass audiences. The film critic Pauline Kael praised his “astonishingly empathetic performance as an eager, dedicated prep-school teacher in the late ’50s” who tries to liberate the minds of his students by urging them to “seize the day.” From there, came a run of more serious-minded films such as Awakenings, based on Oliver Sacks book about a doctor (played by Williams) who tries to use a new drug on seemingly catatonic patients at a Bronx psychiatric hospital (one is portrayed by Robert De Niro). In director Terry Gilliam’s The Fisher King (1991), Williams was a homeless schizophrenic and onetime medieval scholar — the sort of injured innocent he liked to play at that stage of his career.

Picket: Demonstrations to continue today

LANL: Auditors question labs’ cost Continued from Page A-1 a building erected at LANL in 2003, but never opened because of litigation and vulnerability to seismic activity. Minimizing the earthquake threat to the building alone would cost about $437,000, according to the report. The NNSA’s plan also calls for a lab to study medium-risk biological agents. A new building would be necessary for this purpose at a cost of $8 million. Los Alamos National Laboratory has issued several reports to justify the need for expansion, but their veracity came under fire in the federal audit. “Despite LANL’s assertions, we found outside demand for a new … facility to be less certain,” auditors reported. The audit noted that LANL’s reports ignored the prevalence of biosecurity services throughout the country, and officials with federal agencies that LANL plans to rely on for business at the expanded labs told auditors they would be unlikely to use it because less expensive, equally secure options already exist. “In our judgment, NNSA needs to fully reassess its need for biological research facilities,” auditors reported. Auditors also questioned cost estimates LANL provided for the proposed expansion. “LANL’s current cost allocation practices may have understated the costs of biological research personnel,” running afoul of the Energy Department’s cost-recovery policies by applying funds allocated for specific projects to work for other government agencies. Soon after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, at the height of national concern over bioterrorism, the Department of Homeland Security was created and granted authority over biological national security issues, previously the purview of the Department of Energy and NNSA. The handoff resulted in fragmented programs at labs under the NNSA’s command. The audit released Monday was undertaken with cost considerations in mind. In response to its findings, the NNSA agreed to re-evaluate and reconsider its plans for expansion at Los Alamos, but challenged findings that criticized plans to add a medium-threat biosafety lab because the assertions the audit assailed were merely preliminary proposals. Los Alamos Study Group’s Mello said other sites are better equipped to take on biodefense jobs, and for less money. “LANL should not try to do everything but should rather try to focus on doing a few things well,” he said, “accepting that its nuclear weapons mission is going to be shrinking and being glad for that.”

negotiations on a new contract weren’t enough time to bridge the philosophical gulf between the hospital and the union over staffing standards. The most recent contract expired nearly two weeks ago. Picketers toted signs that read, “If RN’s are outside, something must be wrong inside,” “Safe staffing saves babies,” “Negotiate, don’t dictate,” and “Our families deserve better.” The union insists staffing at St. Vincent is critically low, driving many nurses to leave the hospital and endangering patients. Its counterproposal, currently before the hospital for consideration, seeks a staffing level equal to the staffing at half of similar hospitals. In that proposal, the union has turned down up to 5 percent in incentive-based pay raises over the next three years offered by the hospital if certain goals are met, including improved patient satisfaction levels. The hospital has taken the position that an internal board made up of physicians, nursing supervisors, executives and others at the hospital adequately polices practices at St. Vincent by painstakingly analyzing the data regarding

and determined there was no authorization to block off the sidewalk.” The hospital’s administration tells a different story. “The construction was adjusted to accommodate the picket,” Kane said. Union leaders suspected the hospital’s administration had intentionally planned for the work to interfere with Monday’s demonstration, which the union had announced 10 days prior. Kane said the timing of the work during the demonstration was coincidental. She said it is part of a project that began in mid-July but was stalled by rainy days and relocation of resident prairie dogs. The city of Santa Fe’s Building Permit Division did not respond to inquiries Monday about the permits.

Gov. says no to press debate By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Gov. Susana Martinez has declined to debate her Democratic challenger, Gary King, at next month’s convention of the New Mexico Press Association. While King accepted the invitation to the Sept. 27 debate, Phil Lucey, executive director of the press association, told The New Mexican on Monday that Martinez, through a campaign staffer, declined early last week. “There was no explanation,” Lucey said. “They didn’t say anything about a scheduling conflict or an objection to the format or anything.” Asked why Martinez declined, campaign spokesman Chris Sanchez, in an email Monday, didn’t provide a reason. “We have scheduled our first two debate forums … and we look forward to additional debates as the election draws closer,” Sanchez said. “In fact, just today we began working on the details of a TV debate with one of the major network stations. We appreciate the New Mexico Press Association’s invitation and regret that we are unable to attend, just as Sen. [Martin] Heinrich was unable to attend in 2012.” That year, Democrat Heinrich didn’t accept an invitation for a joint appearance at the press association convention with his GOP opponent for the U.S. Senate seat, Heather Wilson. He was criticized for that by Sanchez, who at the time was Wilson’s spokesman. The two joint appearances with King to which Martinez has agreed to are one from the state’s real estate and construction industries and one at The Domenici Public Policy Conference in September. When told about Martinez declining the press association event, King’s campaign manager, Keith Brietbach, asked, “Is she afraid to debate Gary King? Gary is looking forward to the opportunity to discuss the issues at as many forums as possible.” Breitbach last week said King has accepted debate and forum invitations from the real estate and construction industries, a forum at Congregation Albert in Albuquerque on Oct. 5, debates planned by KOAT TV and one planned by PBS and NPR. “We just got one from KRQE [TV],” he said Monday. “There’s no date set, but Gary will accept it.” Though Martinez is being selective about which debate invitations to accept, she’s already accepted more than Bill Richardson accepted in 2006, when he was running for re-election. Richardson didn’t do any debates with GOP challenger John Dendahl. Lucey said if Martinez doesn’t show, King will speak at the convention at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya at Santa Ana Pueblo and take questions from members of the press. He said he has asked the Martinez campaign to reconsider its decision not to participate. “I’m still holding out hope,” Lucey said.

Feds talk energy in Santa Fe Navajo Nation says its lands are prime for solar and wind

INSIDE

By Susan Montoya Bryan

“Each of us has a role to play and how do we knit those things together so that we can cooperate and have an energy future that is more sensible, less complicated and less bureaucratic than it’s been,” she said. “Certainly, we have a long way to go to make that happen.” More than a dozen meetings are being held around the country as part of the administration’s energy review. A report focused on infrastructure challenges is expected in January. Previous meetings in other states have covered rail and barge transportation issues, the growing connections between natural gas and electricity production and infrastructure limitations in developing shale resources. One of the focuses of the New Mexico meeting was the federal government’s relationship with tribes, which have vast reserves of coal, other fossil fuels and renewable energy potential. Experts have estimated that solar and wind energy from tribal lands alone could supply a significant percentage of the nation’s annual electricity needs. Ben Shelly, president of the Navajo Nation, the country’s largest Native American reservation, was among those at the meeting. He told the panel that Congress needs to act to give tribes the same seat at the table as states when it comes to energy-related issues. The Navajo Nation has a coal supply that could last another 200 years as well as prime areas for solar and wind development, Shelly said.

The potential for renewable energy development in the Southwest is tremendous, but two top officials in President Barack Obama’s administration said Monday much work needs to be done to meet the challenges of exporting that power to market. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz were among dozens of state and tribal officials who met in Santa Fe as part of the administration’s effort to develop recommendations regarding the transmission, storage and distribution of energy. Jewell and Moniz said one of the biggest challenges has been working across state lines and Native American jurisdictions to site and permit transmission and pipeline projects. They pointed to the $2 billion SunZia project between New Mexico and Arizona as one example. The proposed transmission line was stalled for months until the Department of Defense offered a compromise this spring that eased concerns about the project’s effects on operations at a missile range in Southern New Mexico. Jewell said the U.S. needs a comprehensive plan for energy development. Instead of seeing individual processes, a strategic focus is needed that considers the expansion of oil and gas with renewable energy and the planning of transmission lines and pipelines all at the same time.

District argues that state grading system is confusing, inconsistent By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Santa Fe Public Schools is appealing the D grades the state gave three of its schools, saying the Public Education Department’s grading system creates confusion and impairs efforts to accurately communicate how schools are faring. The school grade formula — which many critics, including a team of Los Alamos scientists, decry as impossible to understand — sets a minimum threshold of 95 percent for student participation in testing. In the three Santa Fe schools that received the contested D’s, participation ranged from 92.4 percent to 94.6 percent in 2013-14. The three schools are E.J. Martinez Elementary School, Capital High School and Santa Fe High School. The district is arguing that the schools were penalized by the Public Education Department’s failure to apply a federally approved three-year average regarding participation in testing. Since participation ranged from just over 95 percent to 100 percent at those schools in the previous two years, the district said, its overall average tops 95 percent and thus it should not be penalized. Santa Fe Superintendent Joel Boyd said parents do have the right to opt out of testing of their children, and this was one reason for the decrease in students taking tests. He said the district should not be held accountable for parental choice. In a four-page letter to Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera on Monday, Boyd said the data don’t always support the “inconsistencies” in the A-F grading system. For instance, Turquoise Trail Charter School received an A this year — up from a D last year. Piñon Elementary School received a B, as it did last year. But the district’s analysis of data found that Piñon students outperformed Turquoise Trail students. It also notes that in five measurement areas — including academic growth of high-performing and low-performing students — Piñon received higher marks than Turquoise Trail and yet still received a lower overall grade. “It is this type of inconsistency and perceived fluctuation in the weighting in grading factors that can not only be difficult to explain to parents, teachers, and students but can also diminish confidence in the grading system itself,” Boyd’s letter states. Without the participation penalty, all three schools would be rated a C, Boyd said. Last Friday, the Public Education Department released data reporting that just under 50 percent of Santa Fe’s teachers reached an “effective” or better rating in the state’s new teacher evaluation program. Almost 10 percent of Santa Fe teachers were rated “ineffective” in that report. But Boyd questioned the data, calling it inaccurate and inconsistent with the district’s own findings. He said the district’s students have made small but steady gains in reading and math proficiency and that Santa Fe schools are making greater gains than many other schools in the state. Boyd told the school board Monday evening that he spoke with Skandera last week about the teacher evaluation results. “She is certain the data is accurate,” he said. “We are just as certain it is not.” Public Education Department spokesperson Larry Behrens was not available for comment Monday.

La Bajada proposal awaits County Commission vote Santa Fe County commissioners plan to vote Tuesday on a proposed basalt mine on La Bajada mesa. Public comment will be limited to 11 issues on which commissioners wanted more detail from staff after a raucous public hearing in June at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. At the hearing, hundreds of people spoke against the application by Buena Vista Estates and Rockology to create a 50-acre mining zone on La Bajada. Rockology wants to mine basalt aggregate for construction at the site just off Waldo Canyon Road near Interstate 25. The County Development Review Committee recommended denying the mine zone application. Staff has recommended approval. The meeting begins at 10 a.m. at the Santa Fe County Commission chambers, 102 Grant Ave. It will be streamed live on www.santafecountynm.gov, on Comcast Channel 28 and on Que Suave radio AM 810. A packet of material related to the mine application, including a report from county staff, is available online at the county’s website. The New Mexican

Young scientists study LANL’s impact on wildlife Interns gather data on bird nesting activity By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

Three undergraduate science students are adding new data to a 17-year project to monitor the impact of Los Alamos National Laboratory activities on birds and other wildlife. The three young scientists — Maria Musgrave, Emily Phillips and Audrey Smith — will give a free talk on the project, a new wetland wildlife camera study and the role of healthy ecosystems at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Bradbury Science

Museum in Los Alamos. As part of their internship with Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Environmental Stewardship group, the three monitor about 500 nesting boxes set up on lab property and in the county. This Avian Nestbox Network was started in 1997 by graduate student Jeanne Fair, who went on to become a staff scientist at the lab. The network has focused on the Western bluebird and the ashthroated flycatcher, although many other birds have used the boxes. “We do maintenance on the boxes every winter,” said Smith, an environmental science student at New Mexico State University. “They get knocked down by

bears a lot.” The bluebirds and flycatchers feed off the ground, exposing them to contaminants such as heavy metals in the soil. Scientists want to know the level of contaminants the birds are exposed to and how it affects their breeding, nesting and feeding habits. Other birds they see using the boxes include house finches, whitebreasted nuthatches and mountain chickadees. “Birds are good indicator species because of what they eat and because they can migrate distances and come back to their home territory,” Musgrave said. “They tell a lot about how the environment, habitat and climate are affecting them.”

The scientists looked at nesting activity at the boxes in 2003 compared to 2014. Nest boxes at higher elevations had more activity such as breeding than lower elevation nest boxes, Phillips said. “We believe this has to do with cooler temperatures and higher moisture levels.” Phillips is studying conservation biology at NMSU.

Heinrich says deal with Defense paves way for project By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

The 515-mile SunZia transmission line, which would generate wind and solar energy for Western states, has a “very high” probability of finally being built in New Mexico and Arizona, U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich said Monday. Heinrich, a Democrat from Albuquerque, said the biggest obstacle to the project in New Mexico had been removed with a compromise between the developer and the U.S. Defense Department. SunZia agreed last spring to bury sections of its transmission line so as not to interfere with training missions at the northern extension of White Sands Missile Range. This change in the construction plan will increase the project’s cost, which initially was estimated at $1.2 billion, said Ian Calkins, a spokesman for SunZia. But Calkins said the agreement, brought about because Heinrich worked to find common ground between developers and the U.S. military, keeps alive a project that could mean thousands of construction jobs for New Mexico. The company now awaits an environmental analysis by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management on the revised building plan for the transmission line. SunZia’s agreement with the Defense Department resolves the most contentious part of its proposal and should enable construction of the line to proceed, Heinrich said during a stop in Santa Fe for the Quadrennial Energy Review Public Meeting. The electricity line would begin in Lincoln County, N.M., and end in Pinal County, Ariz. But a volunteer organization in the San Pedro River Valley of Arizona that opposes the SunZia project said Heinrich’s assessment was off base. “We do not believe that the entirety of this project can be funded and built,” said Norm “Mick” Meader, co-chairman of the Cascabel Working Group. He said the eastern portion of the line that is so important to New Mexico is not feasible economically. Utilities in California would have to commit to buying blocks of power for the project ever to reach construction, and that has not happened, Meader said. “I think that Sen. Heinrich is entirely unrealistic about this project. He is enamored with it for its mythical renewable energy potential, and history is likely to show him how naive he was,” Meader said. “Pardon my harsh words for the senator, but someone has to inject some realism into this discussion.” Calkins, though, said SunZia sees a ready market for wind energy in the West. “The developers of this project would not spend another dollar if they did not believe this will work,” Calkins said in a phone interview. “In terms of economics, this project makes sense.” Calkins also said building the line would put thousands of people to work. SunZia, citing a study by New Mexico State University and the University of Arizona, has projected that the line would create 43,000 construction jobs. The study estimated that 18,000 of the jobs would be in New Mexico. Meader and his group initially said the employment projections were inflated to build support for the project. Now Meader says the SunZia project cannot get off the ground unless the federal government assumes the financial risk. “It must be built as a public works project if it is to be built. A private company will go bankrupt trying,” Meader said.

Richardson event aids Fla. Dem Former Gov. Bill Richardson on Monday night hosted a fundraiser in Santa Fe for a Florida congressman, Joe Garcia. Among co-hosts listed for the event at Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa were Democratic gubernatorial candidate and state Attorney General Gary King; former state Public Regulation Commission member and former insurance commissioner Eric Serna; state Auditor Hector Balderas, who is running for attorney general; state Sen. Tim Keller of Albuquerque, who is running for state auditor; former Albuquerque Mayor Marty Chavez; and longtime state Democratic Party fundraiser Ed Romero. Another co-host was Barry Goldwater Jr., a former Republican congressman and son of the 1964 GOP presidential candidate. He heads a national lobbying organization for the insurance industry, the Goldwater-Taplin Group, which employs Serna as general counsel. Other officers of Goldwater’s firm are listed as co-hosts for the Garcia fundraiser. Serna resigned as state insurance superintendent in 2006 amid charges he dismissed fines on insurance companies that donated to his favorite charities. The “suggested donation” for the event was $1,000. The New Mexican

Funeral services and memorials LEAH HOCHBERG-USATIN APRIL 26, 1922- AUGUST 9, 2014 Leah passed away, as she wished, in her own bed, thanks in large measure to the excellent care provided to her by the devoted staffs of Ponce De Leon Assisted Living and Del Corazon Hospice. Leah leaves behind her son, Stephen; her daughter-in-law, Jane; her granddaughter, Sophye (of Ft. Lauderdale, FL); and her brother, Samuel Kay (of Nogales, AZ). All those fortunate enough to have known Leah will greatly miss her cheerfulness, her kindness, and her insatiable curiosity. She was a truly beautiful person, inside and out. The motif which ran throughout Leah’s life was caregiver. At age 18 she married Charles B. Hochberg, Esq., with whom she had her two sons, Stephen and the late Robert Boaz. She was a loving and supportive wife who unstintingly devoted herself to Charles in his long final illness. Widowed at 41, and to ensure the financial stability of her family, she took on three jobs, while continuing to be a nurturing mother. One of those jobs developed into a multi-decade employment relationship with Champion Paper (now International Paper) in Stamford, CT, from which she retired at an Executive level position in 1986. Leah then moved from Stamford to Bal Harbour,FL, where she devoted herself to numerous civic and charitable endeavors. It was while serving as a volunteer at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Miami that she met and after a whirlwind romance married a fellow volunteer, Abraham Usatin. Mt. Sinai Hospital was so pleased with this turn of events that it provided the ceremony and reception for them. In Abe’s last illness, Leah again became the caregiver extraordinaire. In 2008, Leah moved to Santa Fe to be near Stephen and Jane. Funeral services and interment will be held at 11AM on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at Santa Fe Memorial Gardens, 417 East Rodeo Road, Santa Fe ,NM. The family will sit Shiva [receive visits of condolence] at Stephen and Jane’s home located at 1310 Thunder Ridge Road, Santa Fe, from 6PM to 9PM on Tuesday, August 12, 2014; Wednesday, August 13, 2014; and Thursday, August 14, 2014.

JESS MARLOW 11/29/1929 - 8/3/2014

VICTOR JOHN CHARTRAND

Victor J. Chartrand passed away on July 5, 2014, at the age of 88. Victor was born in New York City, New York, on August 13, 1925, to Victor and Ellen Chartrand. Victor attended DwightEnglewood Elementary School. Followed by attending Phillips Exeter Prep Academy. He earned a MBA from the University of Michigan; a BSEE from the University of Notre Dame; a ETM from the US Navy Electronics School; plus a PhD in Mathematics. Victor also attended Ivy League Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. His career was interesting as he had worked on early radar systems including short/long range radar videos for ship’s speed and antenna position; worked on early digital data processors for AWACS; worked on computer programs for APOLLO entering the planetary atmosphere; involved with system reliability analysis of MINUTEMAN missile stages I, II and III; assisted with B-36 and B47 aircraft bombing and navigation systems. Victor had many patents and was working on several more right up to the day he ended up in ICU at JFK Memorial Hospital in Indio, California. The Doctors and Staff at JFK did all they could to help Victor plus keeping him comfortable toward the end. Victor’s first love was golf and he won many golf tournaments over the years including tournaments at the Lake Placid Club and the Knickerbocker Country Club in Englewood, New Jersey. He continued to play several times a week with his good friends in La Quinta. When Victor did see his children and grandchildren, he was quite patient in trying to teach his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren the game of golf, even though none of them could keep up with him. He also liked to ski, travel, collect uranium rocks, and play more golf. Victor married Shirley Jean Hunt of Grymes Hill, Staten Island, New York on September 7, 1948. Victor is survived by his two children, Craig J. Chartrand and Renee Chartrand McAmis (John), both of Chico, CA. He is also survived by his sister, Suzanne Chartrand Santaella, his four grandchildren Christopher Chartrand (Man Zhen); John McAmis(Lisa), Lowren McAmis (Sunny) and Megan McAmis; and his three great granddaughters Heidi and Macy Renee McAmis, and Liya Chartrand; and his nephews John , Luis, Rene Santaella and his niece Suzanne Santaella. Victor was predeceased by his parents Victor and Ellen Chartrand of Englewood, New Jersey; and his sister Marilyn Chartrand of Scottsdale, Az. Since Victor was always helping friends and acquaintances solve problems or help them financially, his family asks that you do the same for someone else in memory of Victor. Or you may make a donation to your favorite charity in his name. The family will have a private memorial service for Victor in the near future. Victor J. Chartrand was a rare human being for whom we’ll all have wonderful memories.

Helping craftspeople become new entrepreneurs

Kimberly Corbitt’s startup, Pharma Connect Xpress, recently was awarded a Venture Acceleration Fund grant. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

It’s the first outside money “ I’ve had. I am humbled by the community trust.” Kimberly Corbitt on receiving a Venture Acceleration Fund grant

Upstart Xpress Entrepreneur’s latest venture aims to connect doctors, pharmaceutical companies By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

imberly Corbitt has two daughters, a dog, a successful medical aid company and now a tech startup that’s been partially funded by a community accelera-

tor. Corbitt’s Pharma Connect Xpress, which attempts to bridge the gap between doctors and pharmaceutical companies via technology, was awarded about $50,000 from the Venture Acceleration Fund. For Corbitt, the money is nice, but it’s the message she appreciates. “It’s the first outside money I’ve had,” she said. “I am humbled by the community trust.” Money from the Venture Acceleration Fund is generally awarded to tech startups in Northern New Mexico counties. The fund is partially supported by the group that runs the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Security, as well as Los Alamos County and Santa Fe counties. The program can award up to $100,000. The funds come with a payback trigger if a company exceeds revenue benchmarks, sells to another company or relocates from New Mexico. The program awarded between $30,000 and $50,000 to 10 businesses this year — from a software mapping company to a producer of goat milk soaps — for a total of $407,000. Besides Xpress, four other startups in Santa Fe received funds. Pharma Connect Xpress is headquartered in the Lena Street Lofts, a compound of small businesses featuring lush gardens against the backdrop of rustic warehouse buildings.

In brief Red Cross sets up site to sell items, donate proceeds The American Red Cross has launched a new online platform that allows supporters to upload images of and sell items they want to donate, with the majority of the proceeds going to the Red Cross. Donors can visit the WebThriftStore at http:// redcross.webthriftstore.com, click on “Donate Your Stuff Now” to upload photos, set prices, add descriptions and donate in mere minutes. There is also an iPhone/iPad app, and donors can easily share/promote their donations inside the app using Facebook and email. “This is a great way for people to support the Red Cross by selling personal items,” said Betsy Skye Smith, regional chief development officer for the New Mexico region. The Red Cross will receive 80 percent of the proceeds with the remainder going to WebThriftStore. The site is listed on the redcross.org website under “other ways to help” along with eBay Giving Works.

Corbitt’s work on her most recent project takes place in a second-floor office adorned with modern touches, such as a conference table that doubles as a whiteboard, and Xpress gear — traffic-sign-yellow T-shirts with “Xpress” printed on the back, beige hats with “Xpress” across the center. The official uniform of Corbitt’s company. As assistant Sara Magaletta types on a Mac laptop, Corbitt works on a Mac desktop at a standing desk. Corbitt is not one to sit still. She stands to explain complex concepts, turning to explanatory drawings if she believes her point needs emphasis. It’s hard to understand Xpress without first understanding the $15 billion pharmaceutical industry. Corbitt has that advantage. She worked as a drug rep from 1999 to 2007 before starting Santa Lucia, which provides care for the developmentally disabled. In late 2011, Corbitt said she had extra mental capacity to spare, and Xpress was born. Its roots can be traced to Corbitt’s exit from the pharmaceutical industry years earlier. Over the years, Corbitt said, health care providers have become busier and medicine more nuanced, which means more reps. Doctors don’t have time for that, she said, but most still want educational packets and sample prescriptions about new medications. “They’re not experts on every single therapy,” she said. In Corbitt’s words, Xpress combines two business models: the drug rep and that of delivery services such as UPS or FedEx. Xpress employees will drive from one doctor’s office to the next, asking doctors to fill out questionnaires via tablet app. The process, Corbitt said, should take only a few minutes of

Home sales up, median price down in Los Alamos Residential property sales in Los Alamos increased 8 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared with a year earlier, according to the Los Alamos Association of Realtors. The data include single-family homes as well as condos and townhomes. During this same period, the median price of single-family homes dropped by 9 percent to $255,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $277,525 in 2013. The overall volume of single-family home sales remained nearly consistent at $12.9 million, down from $13.1 million. “While sales are modestly up in Los Alamos, there is a downward pressure on prices,” said Anna Caspersen, president of the Los Alamos Association of Realtors.

a health care provider’s time. Once finished, the Xpress employee moves onto the next location. The work, she said, wouldn’t require staff to have more than a high school diploma. Xpress then will send the data to pharmaceutical representatives who will respond to doctors’ requests, Corbitt said. They could send doctors a brochure about a new drug, provide sample prescriptions or schedule a meeting with a drug representative. Corbitt believes Xpress benefits both health care providers and drug companies. The doctors save time, and the drug companies save overhead costs, she said. Corbitt traveled to proof-of-concept meetings in late July, visiting locales such as Florida, Connecticut and New York. She returns later this month, and then she’ll shop the idea to venture capitalists. Barring major delays, Corbitt said Xpress should be running by 2015. She said will initially hire 1,500 Xpress agents after she finishes negotiating contracts with drug companies. The majority of Xpress agents will be working in more populous areas of the United States. Corbitt said New Mexico might have one Xpress agent, but the state could be home to about 50 managers and other higher-ups. She said she expects to stick with Xpress for as the long as the company needs her, unless it becomes self-sustaining. “That will be fine,” Corbitt said. “I’ll go find something else to do.” Contact Chris Quintana at 986-3093 or cquintana@sfnewmexican.com.

tsy, the leading online craft marketplace, established its Craft Entrepreneurship Program last year to make it easier for artists, craftspeople and other microentrepreneurs — especially those in underserved communities — to sell their products and services directly to consumers. That program is coming to New Mexico in September, thanks to a partnership with WESST, a private nonprofit economic development organization that provides business training, consulting and loans to small businesses in New Mexico. The Craft Entrepreneurship Program is a fiveweek series of classes in which artistically talented low-income adults learn the basics of business so they can set up online venues that enable them to reach new markets. Classes will be taught by successful online craft sellers who coach and support participants through every aspect of setting up their online shops alongside WESST trainers who work with small businesses every day. Using Etsy as a learning lab, teachers share best practices on topics that impact new sellers most — including time management, branding, pricing, shipping and photography — to help them earn supplemental income through their craft business. To minimize startup costs, students will be able to list 20 items for sale on Etsy.com at no cost. To be eligible for the program, applicants must: u Have at least one handmade craft item ready to sell and an idea for a related line of products. u Commit to attending six weekday classes — about 12 hours total — at WESST in Albuquerque. u Have never made any sales on Etsy.com, though applicants with an existing store on the site are allowed. u Have a credit card and checking account to allow sales transactions to be made. u Have consistent access to a computer with an internet connection. Workshops begin Sept. 2 at the WESST Enterprise Center in Albuquerque, 609 Broadway Blvd. NE. Space is limited and applications are being accepted now. For more information, visit WESST’s Craft Entrepreneurship page or go to the Craft Entrepreneurship online application. Tech-based platforms such as Etsy have low barriers to entry for microbusinesses and provide opportunities for creative individuals to earn supplemental income. Research from the Aspen Institute demonstrates that those who “patch” their household income through microenterprises report “significantly higher earned income from their combined wages” and were more likely to move out of poverty. Etsy sellers represent an encouraging shift toward using manufacturing skills to generate supplemental income and flexible employment. The Etsy community — a global online network of independent artists and designers — has been pioneering a new model for economic prosperity. Etsy’s Craft Entrepreneurship Program complements WESST’s commitment to cultivating entrepreneurship and creating a pathway out of poverty for its clients, especially low-income women and minorities, by helping them achieve financial autonomy through sustained self-employment. WESST is the only New Mexico organization that offers long-term, comprehensive training, technical assistance and loans specifically targeted to underemployed or low-income women and minorities, though its clients represent all demographics in the state. To learn more about WESST, visit www.wesst. org or call 800-GO-WESST. Julianna Silva is regional manager of WESST.

After nearly 20 years of promoting tourism in Taos and Northern New Mexico, www.Taos Webb.com has been rebranded as BeyondTaos. com. Over the years, TaosWebb.com, published by Webb Design Inc., has undergone numerous redesigns and transformations since its launch in 1995 as a simple one-page website. “We decided it was time to rename the site to make it more descriptive of its mission to promote not just Taos as a tourism destination, but the many Northern New Mexico communities in the region,” says Janet Webb, president of Webb Design who has been working on the redesign strategy for nearly two years, in a prepared statement. Webb said the site is currently a work in progress. “We’ll be adding more Northern New Mexico communities, redesigning the blog, adding a photo and video gallery, and tweaking the site based on user testing in the coming months,” explains Webb. “We’ll also be building our social media presence to cross-promote our BeyondTaos communities and drive more traffic to the new site.”

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Officials declare Night Wave nightlife festival a success, Aug. 6

“

I’m glad that everyone had a good time and sincerely hope that all these businesses thrive for a long time. But, before we call this a ‘success,’ I ﬁrst want to know exactly how all $4,000 was spent. If it was spent solely for the purpose of transportation, then shuttling 20 people at a cost of $200 a head is an abject failure and should be discontinued immediately. Based on the size of the crowds that the article reports, it seems to me that the shuttle made no signiﬁcant difference.” A.L.

Sounds like everyone had a great time. Now that “ we know all of the bars and other participants made money, the city won’t have to contribute money again, right?” D.S. They will have a great time until the Santa Fe “ Police Department lies in wait, ready to bust them for drunken driving or public intoxication.” D.R. SNAP proposal isn’t too much to ask of people, Commentary: Rob Nikolewski, Aug. 9 I have been looking all summer — very actively. I would be happy to show you all the websites I have uploaded résumés to and followed up on — because you have to upload a résumé and a cover letter these days. Then, you must fill out a profile. I am self-employed and have been for 28 years, so it is more difficult. I have also been called ‘semi-retired’ by prospective employers — you know what that code word is for. I could run circles around some of the young people I see with jobs, all day. But making food stamps accessible quid pro quo is asking a lot in Santa Fe, where it is so very difficult to find employment, even if you’re pretty smart, talented, ambitious and not all that bad to look at.” C.D. How will the Human Services Department, which has its own problems, deal with the increased workload? No answers there. This feels like a bureaucracy generating more bureaucracy. As one who operated the landlord/tenant hotline back in the ’90s, I was not impressed by the Human Services Department. Therefore, while I don’t like ‘free-loading’ — being from Minnesota — I would not burden those in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program with requirements found unwise in 2009 in favor of supporting more high-paid ‘free-loaders’ who work at the Human Services Department. Meaningful reform of the Human Services Department, however, could cause me to rethink this position.” C.M. It is hard enough conducting a job search when one has enough to eat. Is it possible that the SNAP program actually helps people with the needed sustenance in order to find a job? In that respect, it could be viewed as an investment instead of a liability. Santa Fe is the City Different, and I would hope that means having more compassion for those who are out of work and facing a tough job market.” L.F.

Listen to nurses on issues of staffing

t has been my experience that nurses are the experts in making the decisions about adequate staffing. That is why I was surprised when the chief nursing officer at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe was quoted as saying, “Several years ago, when we had a higher level of staffing, the quality numbers and patient satisfaction was actually lower.” This is contrary to what most studies and even nursing journals are saying. For example, The American Nurse recently cited the findings at the Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 2012, the hospital had betterthan-benchmark performance ratings for nursing staff levels, and at the same time the nurses were still concerned that those levels were too low. A nursing quality improvement coordinator was quoted as saying, “We identified that in times of low census, you’d have a level of adequate staffing, but in the middle of the night there might be some admis-

sions that brought levels to where the staff was concerned it still wasn’t safe.” (What nurse has not experienced this?) The hospital eventually formed a leadership team that oversees nurses in the practice councils. It expanded its shared governance system and eventually added committees in order to involve nurses at every level. The result was a pilot program that uses an on-call nurse who can help with an admission or if a patient’s acuity changes in the middle of the night. Recently, I have been doing some bedside post-surgical nursing at an orthopedic specialty hospital. Post-surgical nursing is one of my favorites besides psychiatric nursing. This hospital is recognizing that forming adequate staffing requires input from the nurses, creativity and flexibility on the part of management. It can make a difference between seeing someone progress after surgery because of adequate nursing care or seeing someone develop pneumonia because the nurse was so overwhelmed he or she could not spend

the intensive time needed for post-surgical teaching. Maybe one of the unexpected positive results of the Affordable Care Act is that Medicare will not pay for readmissions within a certain time period. Hospitals also are getting “dinged” for not preventing conditions that adequate levels of staffing might have prevented. This could force the staffing issue — or allow doctors to be stronger advocates for the importance of adequate nurse staffing levels. After all, I don’t want to be the one to upset an orthopedic surgeon about advancing symptoms of conditions that adequate nurse staffing could prevent, do you? Pamela Field of Las Cruces is a registered nurse specializing in psychiatric nursing. She is active in mental health issues, writes for newspapers and is working on a documentary about mental illness. She is a member of the New Mexico Nurses Association and a strong advocate for nurses.

Animal control dispute sparks SWAT standoff, Aug. 7 There are certainly times when I think police in New Mexico use excessive force, and I think the overmilitarization of local law enforcement should concern everyone interested in not living in a police state. But someone threatening a law enforcement officer (or anyone, really) with a knife and then barricading himself into his home seems like exactly the type of situation SWAT should be responding to.” P.K. Evacuated a four-block area? Why was that? So they could target practice on a guy and his dog with automatic weapons. How about we solve the home burglary and rampant heroin-use problems?” R.H. Just curious — how was the dog ‘aggressive’? Did it bite someone? Then, OK, call animal control. But did it just bark when someone walked by? And this leads to a police raid and the guy’s dogs conﬁscated? Sounds like overkill to me.” D.M.

City panel OKs ﬁrst phase of home sites at Las Soleras, Aug. 8 Great. Another huge cluster of cracker-box houses that all look the same — just like up the street at Richards Avenue and Governor Miles Road. Santa Fe suburbia is getting a little out of control and continues to cheapen this town. If this includes the property across from the above-mentioned development, it is beautiful. It will be sad to see the changes to it. As usual, I’m sure every single tree will be plowed down so they can squeeze in all the boxes as close together as possible and six feet from the street.” C.G. Is there enough water for all this building?” S.S.

Demand audit of SFCC finances T he article about Santa Fe Community College (“SFCC cuts spending due to $5M shortfall,” Aug. 6) omits two crucial points as it tacitly — if not explicitly — supports layoffs of faculty. First, it doesn’t challenge the accounting. In my state, Pennsylvania, universities announced almost the exact same fiscal crises over the past two years and, in all but one case, turned out to be wrong, maybe even dishonest, about the numbers. Demand an audit. Second, it doesn’t distinguish between faculty and administrative salaries, which are generally higher (often times by factors of five or six) and pay people whose impact on students and learning is oblique at best. If there’s a real fiscal crisis, start by cutting the positions and salaries of the people who contribute the least to the college’s success. Support the faculty who teach and do research, not the administrators who do … what?

Family’s gratitude My husband and I, our daughter and two grandsons buried my parents’ ashes on Aug. 1 in the Santa Fe National Cemetery. Ezequiel Acevedo made everything so easy for me. The Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Felix Coca arranged a 21-gun salute with volunteer veterans from VFW Post 2951, and Stephen Barkell sent two National Guardsmen to present colors. My parents died years ago, so our tears were not those of mourning but of gratitude to these great organizations for such a touching ceremony. New Mexico can be so proud of the staff at its national cemetery, the members of VFW

A new civil right Regarding “Employers can

reach out to workers with disabilities,” July 27, written by Andy Winnegar: Twenty-four years ago, the Americans With Disabilities Act became law, marking a civil rights milestone for all Americans and an expansion of freedom, choice and accessibility. Today, another civil right is being debated in a growing number of states: the right to autonomy at the end of life. Voters with disabilities support this right at the same rates that the rest of Americans do, according to 2014 polls in Connecticut (65 percent), Massachusetts (74 percent) and New Jersey (63 percent), sponsored by the nation’s leading end-oflife choice organization, Compassion & Choices. There has been a death with dignity law for 17 years

in Oregon. It allows mentally competent, terminally ill adults to end their dying process if it becomes unbearable by selfadministering doctor-prescribed medication. While it is used most commonly by Oregonians dying from cancer, the second largest group using the law is people dying from ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, which occurs much more rarely than cancer. ALS is the disease that has left the physicist Stephen Hawking in a wheelchair most of his life. He has said: “I think those who have a terminal illness and are in great pain should have the right to choose to end their lives, and those who help them should be free from prosecution.” Hawking, a U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom winner, is a civil rights champion in so many ways. I salute him and all disability advocates for their courage and their invaluable contributions to our society. Erin Marshall

Libertarian surge is overestimated

n the latest New York Times Magazine, Robert Draper profiled youngish libertarians — roughly speaking, people who combine free-market economics with permissive social views — and asked whether we might be heading for a “libertarian moment.” Well, probably not. Polling suggests that young Americans tend, if anything, to be more supportive of the case for a bigger Paul government than Krugman their elders. But I’d The New York like to ask a different Times question: Is libertarian economics at all realistic? The answer is no. And the reason can be summed up in one word: phosphorus. As you’ve probably heard, the city of Toledo recently warned its residents not to drink the water. Why? Contamination from toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie, largely caused by the runoff of phosphorus from farms. When I read about that, it rang a bell. Last week, many Republican heavy hitters spoke at a conference sponsored by the blog Red State — and I remembered an antigovernment rant a few years back from Erick Erickson, the blog’s founder. Erickson suggested that oppressive government regulation had reached the point where citizens might want to “march down to their state legislator’s house, pull him outside and beat him to a bloody pulp.” And the source of his rage? A ban on phosphates in dishwasher detergent. After all, why would government officials want to do such a thing? An aside: The states bordering Lake Erie banned or sharply limited phosphates in detergent long ago, temporarily bringing the lake back from the brink. But farming has so far evaded effective controls, so the lake is dying again, and it will take more government intervention to save it. The point is that before you rage against unwarranted government interference in your life, you might want to ask why the government is interfering. Often — not always, of course, but far more often than the free-market faithful would have you believe — there is, in fact, a good reason for the government to get involved. Pollution controls are the simplest example, but not unique. Smart libertarians have always realized that there are problems free markets alone can’t solve — but their alternatives to government tend to be implausible. For example, Milton Friedman famously called for

Missed point The review (“Art in Review,” Pasatiempo, July 25) of Jim Vogel’s recent show Cante Jondo, although seemingly flattering, really missed the point and did a major disservice to the artist and to our local community. The reviewer obviously missed the thematic point of the show and instead coughed up the same old tired and over-worn comparison of Vogel to Thomas Hart Benton. In fact, almost half of the article was about Benton — a

GOP, Dems: Let them vote

D the abolition of the Food and Drug Administration. But in that case, how would consumers know whether their food and drugs were safe? His answer was to rely on tort law. Corporations, he claimed, would have the incentive not to poison people because of the threat of lawsuits. So, do you believe that would be enough? Really? And, of course, people who denounce big government also tend to call for tort reform and attack trial lawyers. More commonly, self-proclaimed libertarians deal with the problem of market failure both by pretending that it doesn’t happen and by imagining government as much worse than it really is. We’re living in an Ayn Rand novel, they insist. (No, we aren’t.) We have more than a 100 different welfare programs, they tell us, which are wasting vast sums on bureaucracy rather than helping the poor. (No, we don’t, and no, they aren’t.) I’m often struck, incidentally, by the way antigovernment clichés can trump everyday experience. Talk about the role of government, and you invariably have people saying things along the lines of, “Do we want everything run like the Department of Motor Vehicles?” Experience varies — but my encounters with New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission have generally been fairly good (better than dealing with insurance or cable

companies), and I’m sure many libertarians would, if they were honest, admit that their own DMV dealings weren’t too bad. But they go for the legend, not the fact. Libertarians also tend to engage in projection. They don’t want to believe that there are problems whose solution requires government action, so they tend to assume that others similarly engage in motivated reasoning to serve their political agenda — that anyone who worries about, say, environmental issues is engaged in scare tactics to further a big-government agenda. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, doesn’t just think we’re living out the plot of Atlas Shrugged; he asserts that all the fuss over climate change is just “an excuse to grow government.” As I said at the beginning, you shouldn’t believe talk of a rising libertarian tide; despite America’s growing social liberalism, real power on the right still rests with the traditional alliance between plutocrats and preachers. But libertarian visions of an unregulated economy do play a significant role in political debate, so it’s important to understand that these visions are mirages. Of course, some government interventions are unnecessary and unwise. But the idea that we have a vastly bigger and more intrusive government than we need is a foolish fantasy.

Ad watch column sheds light on TV spots

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

would like to give a big thanks to Steve Terrell from The New Mexican for providing the public with the facts from your recent story (“Election Ad Watch: Martinez TV spot rips King for 1980s tax increases,” Aug. 8) regarding Gov. Susana Martinez’s latest television attack ad against Gary King. I had a sense that her recent smear ad didn’t have much truth to it, so it is great that Terrell took the time to do a thorough item-byitem fact check to help us understand the real truth behind her accusations. It amazes me how desperate she has become to want to continue bringing our state down for another four years. Thank you.

high-born artist who painted “workingclass life” but who never identified with, nor even knew, the subjects of his paintings. Vogel, in direct contrast, knows the people he paints, lives among them, and calls them his friends and compatriots. More importantly, the show was meant to shed light on the fact that our own National Institute of Flamenco in Albuquerque burned down to the ground last fall. The institute lost everything: building, instruments and costumes. Vanessa Elmore

Hamas has vowed to wipe Israel off the map of the world. Hamas members have made no secret of the desire to see Israel annihilated.

Save Valles Caldera Hey, New Mexico politicians, and for that fact, the federal government, please read the article (“Forests struggle with fewer staff, less funding,” Aug. 10). Adequate care, upkeep and law enforcement can’t be done in our National Forests as it is, and you want to subject the Valles Caldera to an understaffed, underbudgeted, entity? You have obviously never seen the Valles Caldera. Wait, maybe you can visit after all the miscreants have tagged it, carved up the trees and thrown litter all over the place and destroyed the beauty. To our elected officials, come on, don’t bow down to special interests. Leave Valles Caldera as it is. Jeff Little

espite the general election being just months away, election watchers of all stripes still are talking about primary elections. The 20.2 percent voter turnout in the 2014 primaries, a lawsuit challenging closed primaries and the growing frustration of so-called independent voters who can’t vote in primaries all are leading to serious discussion of changes to the primary system. Changes, we might add, that are overdue. Some 240,000 New Mexico voters now refuse to select a political party — this decline-to-state, or independent voter, comes out to about 1 in 5 voters. Back in 1982, independents only totaled about 7 percent of registered voters. Such decline-to-staters can’t participate in either a Republican or Democratic primary (or Green or Libertarian, for that matter). Independent status comes at a cost. These voters lack a voice in selecting nominees for fall elections, and more importantly, in choosing what often is the winner in down ballot races. Primaries decide who becomes sheriff, or county commissioner or county treasurer, in many cases. Albuquerque Democrats Bill O’Neill, a senator, and Emily Kane, a state representative, last week announced legislation to open primaries more broadly. Under their proposal, decline-to-state voters would be able to choose a party primary and vote. The legislation would not allow Republicans or Democrats to cross over and vote in the party primary of the competition, however. It also would not create a blanket primary, which puts all candidates on one ballot, with the top two advancing to the general election (or to a runoff, as is done in Louisiana if the winner does not exceed 50 percent.) The two Albuquerque legislators don’t go as far as we would like to shake up the process. Still, this legislation would take significant steps toward letting more people vote. As Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, told the Albuquerque Journal: “Just because [people] don’t see themselves as completely Republican or completely a Democrat doesn’t mean that they don’t have candidates that they want to vote for, but because they haven’t declared a party [they] aren’t able to vote at all.” With Gov. Martinez’s support, the proposal to let more people vote is officially bipartisan. That’s as it should be. With some 38 percent of younger voters — 18 to 24 — now declining to choose a political party, opening up voting in primaries is essential to improve participation over the long haul. Primaries, despite being directed by political parties, are paid for by taxpayers. That means independent voters pay, but can’t participate. Limits on primary participation are a big hurdle for people who don’t agree with either party. With independent voters allowed to take part, voter interest and turnout should increase — and that’s good for democracy and governing.

The past 100 years From the Santa Fe New Mexican: Aug. 12, 1914: What is probably the longest and most expensive fence of its kind in the Southwest is that which is to be built around the Black Mesa grant of 20,000 acres in Rio Arriba County recently purchased by John E. Burson of St. Louis. This fence will be built of 20-inch Victor hog-wire with three to four barbed galvanized wires on top. It is estimated that the fence will cost from $12,000 to $15,000. The ranch will be stocked with thoroughbred white face cattle and Angora goats. City Engineer Thomas A. Hayden has just returned from surveying the grant. Aug. 12, 1964: The state Public Service Commission ruled this morning it would not have jurisdiction over a Southern Union Gas Co. proposed natural gas pipeline to Dulce on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation in Northern Rio Arriba County.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill was injured in a tour bus accident over the weekend, forcing the band to postpone a Sunday show in New York. Followill broke his ribs when the band’s tour bus driver was forced to stop short when a pedestrian crossed the street in front of the vehicle Saturday night after KOL’s show in Boston. The band postponed the Sunday show in Saratoga Springs and it’s unclear if more shows will need to be moved.

NEW YORK — Guitarist Bob Weir is canceling all of the tour dates he had planned through January. The Grateful Dead founder says his tour with his other band, RatDog, won’t kick off this week as planned. He posted a message Sunday on RatDog’s website saying “circumstances have necessitated that all scheduled tour dates for Bob Weir & RatDog are being cancelled.” The 66-year-old didn’t offer more details. An agent for Weir didn’t respond to an email seeking comment. The Associated Press

Feds slow to probe auto safety problems By Tom Krisher The Associated Press

DETROIT — People are waiting longer than they should for an answer when they petition the government to open an investigation into what could be serious safety problems. The Associated Press reviewed all 15 petitions filed by drivers with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration since 2010 and found the agency missed the legal deadline to grant or deny the requests 12 times. One petition from 2012 has yet to be resolved. A 1974 law passed to make the agency move faster requires a decision within four months of receiving a petition. But even though the agency has fined automakers such as General Motors and Toyota millions for missing deadlines to disclose safety issues, there is no penalty when it’s tardy itself. NHTSA concedes it has missed the deadlines but says it often must ask petitioners for more data to complete its analysis. Still, in eight petitions reviewed by the AP, it took more than a year to open an investigation or close the case. Safety advocates say a delay that long can put lives at risk. And given the recent criticism of the agency for its role in GM’s delayed recall of cars with defective ignition switches, these advocates question whether it is functioning well enough to protect the public. “Everything is just really slow,” says Matt Oliver, executive director of the North Carolina Consumers Council, which petitioned the government in February 2012 on behalf of drivers seeking an

investigation of Nissan truck transmission failures. It has yet to get a decision. “You have to ask is everything going as efficiently as it can?” Car owners have two ways to ask safety regulators for action. They can file a complaint, or submit a petition. A complaint has information about a single incident and usually is filed via the agency’s website. Petitions are formal requests for investigations, with evidence of a problem in many vehicles. Often petitions are a last resort for drivers frustrated by intransigent automakers. Many drivers seek help from safety advocates to complete the petition. And even if an investigation is opened, it can take months or years before a recall is announced. Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center For Auto Safety, a nonprofit founded by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, petitioned in November of 2009 for an investigation into fires in Jeep SUVs with gas tanks behind the rear axle. Despite reports of 12 fires, nine injuries and one death at the time, it took the agency more than nine months to grant the petition and open a formal investigation — five months after the legal deadline. The agency’s probe found 51 fire deaths as of last June, when a recall was finally announced. Ditlow says that since the petition was filed, at least 31 people died in fiery rear crashes involving the SUVs. Chrysler, the maker of Jeeps, maintains the SUVs perform no worse than comparable vehicles. It agreed to install trailer hitches to protect the tanks in low-speed crashes.

Ex-Lobo Kirk signs with Cavaliers Los Alamos graduate played well on Cleveland’s NBA Summer League team By James Barron The New Mexican

When Alex Kirk left The University of New Mexico men’s basketball fold in April, his goal was to become a professional. He took a big step toward that goal Monday as the Cleveland Cavaliers announced on its website it signed Kirk, a 6-foot-11 center and 2010 Los

Alamos graduate, to a contract for the upcoming 2014-15 season. Details of the contract were not disclosed. Attempts to reach Kirk for comment on Monday were unsuccessful. Kirk played with the Cavaliers’ NBA Summer League team, averaging 5.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 15-plus minutes over five games in mid-July.

That came on the heels of a senior season at UNM in which he averaged 13.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game and earned third-team All-Mountain West Conference honors and a spot on the All-Defensive team to help the Lobos to a 27-7 mark and a third-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. As he left a successful program at UNM, he embarks on a journey with a team that

SFHS teams embark on journey in higher class Non-football practice kicks off this week By James Barron The New Mexican

Day 1 in the transition to Class AAAAAA began Monday for Keith Richards and his Santa Fe High girls soccer team. Richards, though, calls it the first step in a rebuilding process for a program that advanced to the Class AAAA quarterfinals in its first postseason appearance in 14 years. That it happens just as the school makes its move to the state’s highest classification is merely coincidence, but Richards is not changing his approach to building his program to compete with the teams the Demonettes will face in District 5AAAAAA — which has had a team advance to the finals for the past four seasons. “We lost seven seniors,” Richards said of his 2014-15 edition. “We lost a goalie that is just irreplaceable in many ways. I’m not really changing anything. If anything, I’m just going to be more supportive and help the kids grow and understand that we are going to have some challenges.”

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. here was a time when Brock Osweiler wanted to seek out Aaron Rodgers to pick his brain about how he waited so patiently for his shot while serving an extended apprenticeship under Brett Favre.

time MVP, Osweiler does his best imitation of Denver’s star quarterback on the few occasions he gets onto the football field. “Last time I checked, we have the exact same playbook,” Osweiler said. “I pride myself in knowing the entire game plan, the entire playbook and if something’s ever to happen to him or whatever the case might be and I’m in the game, you know we’re

not going to have to change what we do.” The Broncos want Osweiler to show a better grasp of the offense this summer, and he showed some flashes in Denver’s exhibition opener, bouncing back from a stare-down interception to throw a 34-yard frozen rope for the winning score in Denver’s 21-16 win over Seattle. “That was a heckuva throw on that touchdown,” Manning said. “That interception, I was watching from the sideline, and I was saying throw it to the same guy, myself. It was one of those that the guy looked open when you throw it.”

Ward crafted reputation as fearless wheelman 20-year-old racer killed in Saturday crash By Dan Gelston and David Klepper The Associated Press

PORT LEYDEN, N.Y. — Kevin Ward Jr. was crafting a reputation as a wheelman, the kind of driver who could race vehicles on any track without fear. He’d sit up on his seat, floor it, and zip his way through a maze of cars straight toward the front of the pack. For points. For fun. Often for

little money. “He would go to tracks that a lot of other drivers wouldn’t go to,” Chuck Miller, the race director and president for the Empire Super Kevin Sprints circuit, said Ward Jr. Monday. “If we had co-sanctioned races with other organizations where we really weren’t giving points or anything, but it was a deal where you wanted to see how you stacked up against the other

competition, the Wards were willing to go and do that and see where they were at.” Ward began racing go-karts in 1998 at age 4. In 2010, he moved on to sprint cars and was Empire Super Sprint racing rookie of the year in 2012. The 20-year-old raced mostly on dirt tracks a few hours from his home in Port Leyden, a village of 700 in northern New York. Ward was killed Saturday night about 140 miles away at a clay track in Canandaigua. NASCAR champion Tony Stewart was the big name in the field, racing with the young guys

while he was in the area for a Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen the next day. Ward and Stewart tangled, and Ward hit the wall. Ward walked on the track apparently to confront Stewart, and was struck when Stewart’s vehicle seemed to fishtail. On Monday, several cars were parked in front of the Ward home in Port Leyden. A police officer stood across the street, politely asking reporters not to park on the road’s shoulder. Helen McHale has lived across the

Watson still considering Woods for Ryder Cup By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — U.S. captain Tom Watson said he would be foolish not to consider Tiger Woods as one of his three wild-card selections for the Ryder Cup, a decision that ultimately would be based on Woods’ words instead of his actions. Watson has said all year he wanted Woods on his team if he were healthy and playing well. Even though Woods is injured and not playing for the next month, Watson wouldn’t rule him out Monday. “I can’t assess his medical condition and I honestly can’t assess how he’s playing,” Watson said. “It really is going to be having to come from information from Tiger himself. But, again, I don’t make this comment loosely. He is Tiger Woods and he brings a lot to the team — if he has the ability to play and he’s healthy. He brings a lot to the team. And I’d be a fool not to consider him.” Nine players qualified for the American team after the PGA Championship. Watson has three weeks before he announces his three picks for the Ryder Cup, which is Sept. 26-28 at Gleneagles in Scotland. Woods’ season ended when he

1964 — Mickey Mantle hit a home run both left- and right-handed in a 7-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. It was the 10th time in his career and a major league record for switch-hit homers in a game. 1974 — Nolan Ryan of the California Angles struck out 19 Boston Red Sox for a 4-2 victory. 1994 — Major league baseball players went on strike for the sport’s eighth work stoppage since 1972. 2001 — Mark McGwire hit his 575th career home run and St. Louis beat the New York Mets 4-1. McGwire’s last 11 hits had been homers. 2008 — David Ortiz hit two three-run homers in a 10-run ﬁrst inning and Boston, despite blowing a 10-0 lead, beat Texas 19-17 in a wild game. The combined 36 runs tied in AL record set on June 29, 1950, when the Red Sox beat the Philadelphia Athletics 22-14. The Red Sox actually trailed and eventually pulled it out on Kevin Youkilis’ two-run homer, his second of the game.

NCAA seeks clarification in O’Bannon ruling By Michael Marot The Associated Press

The NCAA is going back to court in Oakland, Calif., to clarify two points in U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken’s ruling. Attorneys for the governing body filed a three-page legal brief Monday in California, asking for clarification of which players will be eligible. Wilken wrote Friday, in the landmark Ed O’Bannon case, that the decision would apply to athletes who enroll in school after July 1, 2016, or the next recruiting cycle. The NCAA claims the term “next recruiting cycle” could be ambiguous and would like the court to establish a clearer date. NCAA attorneys also wrote that

its member schools want clearer language about who the ruling actually applies to. “Under existing NCAA rules, student-athletes in the next recruiting cycle (i.e., student-athletes who would first enroll in college in Fall 2016) may receive offer letters from colleges starting on August 1, 2015. Bylaw 13.9.2.2. NCAA seeks to confirm that the existing NCAA rules can remain in force until August 1, 2015, although we understand the injunction would not permit the NCAA to adopt or enforce rules inconsistent with the injunction on or after that date,” attorneys wrote in the filing, pointing out that is the first day schools can offer scholarships to players in the 2016-17 recruiting class. On the second point, the NCAA

contends, is Wilken’s language regarding the “licensing or use of prospective, current, or former student-athletes” could be interpreted to apply to current players. “This has prompted concerns among colleges and universities that the injunction might, contrary to the Court’s opinion, apply immediately to current student-athletes,” the attorneys wrote. “Based on the Court’s opinion, the NCAA believes the language of Paragraph 1 refers to compensation only for student-athletes first enrolling after July 1, 2016. Otherwise the injunction would permit colleges and conferences to compensate current student-athletes before the NCAA’s member colleges have an opportunity to consider new rules consistent with the injunction.”

Attorneys wrote that they want the clarifications to ensure that there are no violations of the permanent injunction Wilken imposed, which allows players at big schools to have money generated by television contracts put into a trust fund to pay them when they leave. Wilken said the body that governs college athletics could set a cap on the money paid to athletes, as long as it allows at least $5,000 per athlete per year of competition. Individual schools could offer less money, she said, but only if they don’t unlawfully conspire among themselves to set those amounts. NCAA President Mark Emmert said Sunday that the governing body would appeal “at least in part” the ruling. “We look forward to presenting

our arguments on appeal, and in the meantime we will continue to champion student-athlete success on the field and in the classroom,” NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy said in a statement released after Emmert’s announcement. Winning on appeal could be a major challenge given the venue, California. Though the NCAA has a stronger historical record in appeals courts, where a recent University of Illinois study found that it wins 71 percent of the time in both the second and third rounds of cases, this would go to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Legal experts say that court has generally been a “labor-friendly” court, which could hurt the NCAA’s chances of victory.

Royals top A’s, take Central lead SCOREBOARD The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals won their eighth straight game and took over the AL Central lead Monday night when Yordano Ventura outdueled Sonny Gray during a 3-2 win over Oakland Athletics. The victory, coupled Royals 3 with a loss by Detroit in Pittsburgh, gave the Athletics 2 long-suffering Royals a division lead at the latest point in a season since 2003. Alcides Escobar drove in a run in the second inning before delivering a two-out single off Gray (12-6) in the seventh, putting Kansas City in front and sending the crowd to its feet. Kelvin Herrera (3-2) took over for Ventura and tossed spotless seventh inning, and Wade Davis breezed through the eighth. Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 35th save. RAYS 7, RANGERS 0 In Arlington, Texas, Drew Smyly allowed three hits in his first win since the David Price trade, Matt Joyce had a two-run single and the Rays beat the Rangers. Smyly (7-10) struck out nine in a careerhigh 7⅔ innings to beat the Rangers for the second time this season. Colby Lewis (8-9) couldn’t build on the momentum of his second career shutout, giving up five runs — two earned — in five innings. TWINS 4, ASTROS 2 In Houston, Joe Mauer had two hits in his return from the disabled list, including a goahead RBI single in the ninth inning, to help the Twins to a win over the Astros. A pair of walks by Josh Fields (2-5) left runners at first and second with two outs in the ninth when Mauer’s groundball single to left field scored Jordan Schafer. Brian Dozier also scored on the play. Brian Duensing (3-2) got the last two outs of the eighth inning for the win. Chris Carter and Jose Altuve both had solo homers for Houston and Jake Marisnick had a career-high four hits. Tommy Milone allowed eight hits and two runs in his debut with the Twins after being traded from Oakland for Sam Fuld on July 31.

Los Angeles has won four of six to increase its NL West lead to five games over idle San Francisco. The Braves have dropped 10 of 12 and fallen four games behind NL East-leading Washington. Correia was tied for the major league lead in losses with a 5-13 record when he was traded from Minnesota to the Dodgers on Saturday. He excelled for Los Angeles, giving up one run and four hits in six innings, striking out five and walking one.

MARINERS 11, BLUE JAYS 1 In Seattle, Felix Hernandez allowed one run in seven strong innings, and Robinson Cano helped provide him with a jolt of run support as the Mariners romped to a victory over Toronto. Opening the most anticipated August series in Seattle since 2007, Hernandez (13-3) made his 16th straight start of at least seven innings while allowing two earned runs or less. Hernandez needed just 96 pitches to get through seven and his only mistake was Jose Bautista’s solo home run in the fourth. NATIONAL LEAGUE BREWERS 3, CUBS 1 In Chicago, Yovani Gallardo pitched seven sparkling innings, and Khris Davis had a tiebreaking RBI double, leading the Brewers to a victory over the Cubs. Gallardo bounced back nicely from a sluggish outing against San Francisco, allowing one run and six hits while improving to 9-3 with a 3.00 ERA in 18 career starts against Chicago. Mark Reynolds connected for his 20th homer. DODGERS 6, BRAVES 2 In Atlanta, Kevin Correia won in his debut with Los Angels, outpitching All-Star Julio Teheran and leading the Dodgers over the slumping Braves.

MARLINS 6, CARDINALS 5 In Miami, Giancarlo Stanton hit two home runs and made a spectacular diving catch in right field to help the Marlins beat the Cardinals. Marlins starter Tom Koehler (8-9) allowed three runs and eight hits in five innings. Steve Cishek escaped the ninth to record his 30th save in 33 chances. With two outs, Cishek allowed an RBI triple by Kolten Wong and an RBI single by Matt Holliday allowing the Cardinals to pull to 6-5. Cishek struck out Matt Adams to end the game. METS 5, PHILLIES 3 In Philadelphia, slumping Anthony Recker hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer, Jonathon Niese pitched seven sharp innings and the Mets beat the Phillies. Darin Ruf hit a two-run shot for the lastplace Phillies. Niese (6-8) gave up two runs on five hits to earn his first win since June 28. David Buchanan (6-6) allowed three runs and four hits in six-plus innings. INTERLEAGUE PIRATES 11, TIGERS 6 In Pittsburgh, Travis Snider hit two home runs, and Starling Marte had a basesloaded triple as the Pirates coasted to a win against the Tigers. The loss, coupled with Kansas City’s 3-2 win over Oakland, dropped the Tigers a half-game behind the now first-place Royals in the AL Central Division. Justin Verlander (10-11) left after one inning with right shoulder soreness. He gave up five runs — four earned — on four hits. He walked two and struck out three. Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke (4-3) was responsible for four runs, eight hits and four walks in five-plus innings.

SFHS: Will face 3 of class’s largest schools Continued from Page B-1 Santa Fe High will have plenty of challenges on the field and on the court as the 21st largest school in the state tries to compete in a district that features three of the six largest schools in AAAAAA (Rio Rancho, Rio Rancho Cleveland and Volcano Vista). Monday represented the first day for fall practice for the nonfootball programs, and Santa Fe High started its trek to continue the good vibes that the 2013-14 school year provided. Santa Fe High earned state titles in girls basketball and cheer, and a runner-up trophy in girls track and field last year, but there is a sense of realism that teams are trying to show they can compete with the big boys, much bringing home hardware.

Sam Estrada, the head volleyball coach, saw his team win the silver bracket of a scrimmage at Rio Rancho last weekend. On the court next to his team’s final match were AAAAA’s Las Cruces Centennial and Cleveland going for the gold bracket title, and Estrada noted the difference on the two courts. “They are going after it in the beginning of the season,” Estrada said, “and they looked like they were at the end of the season. They are playing so well. We’re competing for a spot in [the state tournament] and they are competing for a state championship. We have a ways to go to catch up to them.” Santa Fe High had about 50 players on the volleyball court, which is an encourag-

ing sign for Estrada, who feels that his team can compete in 1AAAAAA. But it might be a stretch for the Demonettes to repeat winning a district tournament title like they did last year in 2AAAA. All four teams in 1AAAAAA reached the quarterfinals, while Albuquerque Cibola and Cleveland faced off in a semifinal. That won’t prevent Estrada from setting the bar high for his team. “We need our hitters to step up,” Estrada said. “Our defense and blockers, that has been going well. I don’t think that is a concern for us. We’re ready to go. We can compete. I know we can compete.” Cross-country head coach Peter Graham has 30 runners he expects will compete for Santa Fe High, but all but six

of them are girls. While those overall numbers are better than recent years, he can point to Rio Rancho and Cleveland, which have more than twice that total. Still, he feels his team will be competitive, and he can thank the battles with Los Alamos in District 2AAAA for the competitive mentality his runners have going into AAAAAA. They will compete in a district that had three teams finish in the top five on the girls side, while Rio Rancho and Cleveland boys finished first and second. “As I’ve told my kids, you always want to compete against the best, and we’re pretty much in that position,” Graham said. Day 1 was just the first step toward Santa Fe High proving can count itself among the best, or linger with the rest.

Ward: Criminal charges appear unlikely Continued from Page B-1 street for 30 years and remembers hearing the noise when Ward raced go-carts. Kevin Ward Sr. runs a successful painting business, and locals thought his son might make it big in the racing world. “His dad goes to every race,” she said. “He’s a good kid, polite, big smile, and they’re a good family.” Stewart and Ward shared a love of racing sprint cars: high-powered, winged cars built for running on short oval or circular dirt and paved tracks. Drivers have to hit the gas to turn, not necessarily use the wheel. After the crash, Ward was standing to the right of Stewart’s familiar No. 14 car on the dimly lit track. According to video and witness accounts, Ward was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air. Authorities questioned the 43-year-old Stewart once on Saturday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators don’t have any evidence at this point to support criminal intent. Povero said Monday there were no plans “at this time” to talk to Stewart again. “At this time, there are no facts that exist that support any criminal behavior or conduct, or that any probable cause of a criminal act, in this investigation,” he said. Povero said the autopsy was completed Monday and found Ward died of blunt force trauma.

Stewart said Sunday “there aren’t words” to describe his sadness over Ward’s death. Stewart hasn’t announced whether he’ll drive in this weekend’s NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, but his short track “hobby” is on hold. He won’t appear Saturday in a race in Warsaw, Ind. “It is still an emotional time for all involved, Tony included. He is grieving, and grief doesn’t have a timetable,” spokesman Mike Arning said Monday. Canandaigua Speedway promoter Jeremie Corcoran said the track has canceled Wednesday’s event to give “my family, staff, fans, and racing teams time to grieve and process all that has occurred.” Driver Matt Tanner, a friend of Ward’s, was a few cars back from the collision. Ward had been a good friend for years, a member of a small, tight group of drivers who traveled to various races around New York state, parts of Canada and Pennsylvania. “I saw his car sitting there and when the ambulances pulled up I realized what was happening,” Tanner said. He hasn’t watched the video and doesn’t plan to. “Your emotions are running so high. Stewart’s known for being competitive, and Kevin was just as competitive,” said Tanner. So competitive that he’d take his life into his own hands by stepping into traffic in a black firesuit on a dark track? No one will know for sure why Ward

made the treacherous decision to stalk Stewart. But perhaps he was inspired by Stewart himself. Known for his volcanic temper, Stewart is among the drivers who made highlight reels by tossing helmets at windshields or throwing punches at competitors. The action captivates fans and is part of NASCAR’s allure — and inspires the next generation to mimic the bumping and brawling of their heroes. What better way for a young driver to make a name for himself than being the one that stood up to Smoke? Driver Cory Sparks, a fellow driver in Saturday’s race, said he and Ward became friends five years ago. He said Ward was aggressive and competitive and that the two men had “had our feuds” but that he was proud to call him a friend. “I don’t want Kevin Ward to be remembered as a victim in a Tony Stewart accident,” he said. “He definitely had a future in this sport. He was a very aggressive driver. He was one hell of wheelman.” Doug Elkins is a former race announcer who now writes about the sport. He had known Ward and his father for several years. Elkins said he expected rules prohibiting drivers from getting out of their cars during races will be better enforced around the country. He hadn’t heard of any bad blood between Stewart and Ward. “Anyone would want to beat him, Elkins said, “he’s Tony Stewart.”

Kirk: Will compete for place on roster Continued from Page B-1 has seen it fortunes change in the offseason. The Cavaliers signed its former star forward and Ohio native LeBron James on July 11 —the same day Kirk played his first game in summer league play. Last week, reports surfaced that the club reached an agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves to trade for All-Star power forward Kevin Love in exchange for this year’s top pick in the NBA Draft, Andrew Wiggins, as well as last year’s in Anthony Bennett. That trade cannot be official until Aug. 23, when Wiggins’ contract moves beyond the 30-day window that prevents draft picks from being traded once signed. Wiggins signed his contract on July 23. The addition of those two players, along with the presence of point guard Kyrie Irving — who is one of four No. 1 draft picks currently on the Cavaliers’ roster — and shooting guard Dion Waiters on the roster gives Cleveland a talented roster. It is one that many experts feel will make the Cavaliers a contender in the Eastern Conference. Kirk will be in competition for playing time in the Cavs’ frontcourt, along with Anderson Varejao, Brendon Haywood and fellow rookie Dwight Powell — who played on the Stanford team that ousted Kirk and the Lobos in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in March. One thing in Kirk’s advantage is that Verajao and Haywood are over 30 and missed time with a variety of injuries. Powell, who was Cleveland’s second-round pick, is in the same boat at Kirk — both rookies who are vying for time at a position in which Cleveland needs help.

‘Contaminated feed’ behind positive morphine tests LONDON — Contaminated feed could be to blame for the eight positive tests for morphine recently detected in race horses in Britain, including one owned by Queen Elizabeth II. The British Horseracing Authority says Monday it has completed the initial stages of an investigation and the doping cases will now be heard by a disciplinary panel. The BHA said if the panel finds the source of the positive tests was contaminated feed and “all reasonable precautions” to safeguard against it were taken, no penalties will be imposed on the trainers of the horses. Estimate, the queen’s horse which won the prestigious Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last year, was one of the horses to show the presence of morphine, a banned painkiller, in their “A” samples.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Hunted Auburn striving to be ‘13 seconds better’ By John Zenor The Associated Press

AUBURN, Ala. — The theme around Auburn’s football building since January has been about being “13 seconds better.” Just being better than ’13 is a lofty enough goal. The Tigers won’t be able to sneak up on anyone again after winning the Southeastern Conference and making it to the brink of the 2013 national title, before Florida State’s game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds remaining in the championship game. “This year we’re going to be circled,” said coach Gus Malzahn, who directed the biggest one-year turnaround in SEC history during his debut season. “We told our players that. We’re going to have to be better in every phase, especially early in

the season.” The Tigers might be better and still not duplicate last year’s run that included one win on a deflected Hail Mary (Georgia) and another on a last-play return of a missed field goal (Alabama). Shon Coleman replaces the second overall NFL draft pick Greg Robinson at left tackle four years after being diagnosed with leukemia. The Tigers also must replace defensive end Dee Ford, also a first-rounder, and Heisman Trophy finalist tailback Tre Mason. Quarterback Nick Marshall, receiver Sammie Coates and leading tackler Cassanova McKinzy are back. Center Reese Dismukes said the “13 seconds” anthem has been a motivator but a big takeaway from last season is “knowing that we’re never out of it. Anything can happen.”

5 THINGS TO WATCH DURING AUBURN’S UPCOMING SEASON: Passing more: Fans will have to wait a bit to see how much Marshall’s work on his passing has paid off, since he won’t start against Arkansas as punishment after being cited for having a small amount of marijuana in his car. Sophomore Jeremy Johnson will open the game, but it’s not clear how long Marshall will remain on the bench. Marshall became such a threat with the zone read and his running ability, that he only averaged 150 yards a game passing. Now, he’s got deep threat Sammie Coates and top junior college prospect D’haquille Williams heading a receiving group that could become a strength of the offense. “We knew coming into the season that we have to be more dynamic in the passing game,” tight end C.J. Uzomah said. “That’s something that he’s been emphasizing. We plan on stretching

the field vertically and horizontally.” Late-game magic: The Iron Bowl and Georgia game weren’t the only times Auburn pulled out a win in the final minutes either with late touchdowns or defensive stands. It was a knack that only failed in the title game with Florida State. Now the question remains if one or two of those type games could go the other way this season. Missing starters: Guard Alex Kozan and defensive end Carl Lawson, two of Auburn’s best linemen, could both be lost for the season. Kozan is out after back surgery. Lawson had knee surgery in early May and the Tigers haven’t ruled out a return this fall. Auburn has an experienced replacement at guard in Avery Young. Replacing Lawson’s pass rushing ability could be more challenging, with Gabe Wright moving over from tackle and a package that has linebacker Cas-

sanova McKinzy up front in passing situations. Divvying carries: Corey Grant and Cameron Artis-Payne both ran for 600plus yards behind Mason last season, when Auburn became the first SEC team to lead the nation in rushing. They’re joined by five-star freshman signee Roc Thomas. Grant averaged 9.8 yards a carry last season. All three should get plenty of chances to establish themselves as the go-to back. Special teams: Auburn must replace punter Steven Clark, placekicker Cody Parkey and dangerous return men Mason and Chris Davis. Clark became an effective weapon by burying 26 kicks inside the 20. Grant had a 90-yard kick return last season and could be the answer in replacing Mason. They’re still searching for a punter but redshirt freshman Daniel Carlson appears poised to take over for Parkey.

NFL

RG3 reflects on ups and downs at camp By Joseph White The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — In a span of a couple of minutes, Robert Griffin III overthrew a receiver on an out pattern, floated a ball deep into double coverage for an easy interception and misfired a screen pass. A little later Monday morning, he scrambled right and made a “wow” play — throwing on the run to hit DeSean Jackson in the back of the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown. Griffin also led a 12-play drive for a TD in the two-minute drill, a nice recovery from a poor performance by the hurry-up offense the day before. From moments shaky to superb, it’s been that kind of camp for the Washington Redskins quarterback. He looks exactly like what he is — a young player trying to master something different. “That’s what training camp is about,” Griffin said. “You’re going to have those days where it seems a little up and down.” The Redskins wrap up camp Tuesday, and in many ways it was a success for Griffin. He was actually a full participant — unlike last year, when his recovery from a knee injury limited his work — and his relationship with new coach Jay Gruden is off to a congenial start. Fans continued to squeal “R-G-3!” to beg for his autograph, and his mother was an everyday presence, often wearing a multicolored umbrella hat to shade the sun. But he clearly has work to do in the latest steps of his transformation from a running quarterback to a quarterback who might occasionally run. Neither Gruden nor Griffin want to rely on the read-option that made Griffin such a success in 2012.

“There’s a been a lot of good, there’s been some bad — as most quarterbacks go through in training camp, seeing all the looks he’s getting,” Gruden said. “And overall I think he’s making progress at a good rate. … When you watch the tape every day he throws the ball 45 times, and 35 of them are pretty good decisions, and then there’s a couple of them we have to correct.” Perhaps the most sobering stretch was the three days of joint practices with the New England Patriots, but it would have been unfair to expect Griffin and the Redskins to match the timing and polish of Brady and the

In brief Manning brothers back with new rap song in commercial ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Just when you got “Football on Your Phone” out of your head, the rapping Manning brothers have a catchy new tune. A year after making their rap debut, Peyton and Eli Manning are back rapping in a new commercial, DirecTV’s “Fantasy Football Fantasy.” Gone are the wigs the quarterbacks wore in their rap debut that mimicked hairstyles of the ’60s and ’70s. Now, they’re decked out in modern-day duds, Peyton starts out in a white T-shirt and Eli in gray with a straight-brimmed baseball cap, then both of them sport black and white suits, Peyton with a long tie, Eli with a bow tie. The three-minute rap video starts with Eli asking his brother if he’s watching some football. A fog machine kicks in shortly thereafter along with the scantily clad dancers. “Back at ‘em,” Eli says. Their fantasy includes an “end zone that ends in a waterfall,” and “a shower that showers you with tiny footballs.” And it finishes with Eli auto-tuning in outer space with a winged horse and his dad, Archie. Also making cameo appearances are Joe Namath and Chris Johnson along with three of Peyton Manning’s offensive linemen in Denver: Orlando Franklin, Ryan Clady and Louis Vasquez. The Broncos begin their stretches every day with music blaring from a loud speaker at their Dove Valley complex, and of course Monday it started with “Fantasy Football Fantasy,” which led to some razzing and some mixed reviews after practice. “Oh, this one’s way better, I think,” Broncos cornerback Chris Harris said. “Just the song is better. But I think the last commercial was funnier.” “It’s funny,” wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said. “I was looking forward to another one since the one last year.” Rookie returner Isaiah Burse suggested his QB should stick to his day job, though, giving this review: “Not a Hall of Fame actor but definitely a Hall of Fame quarterback.”

perennial Super Bowl contenders. Often in camp, Griffin held the ball too long and would have taken numerous sacks had hitting been permitted. Gruden attributes such moments to “stubbornness.” He said Griffin needs to learn to throw the ball away, that not every play can be a touchdown. It might have been a minor breakthrough, therefore, when Griffin threw the ball away when a second-down play failed to develop as planned Monday during the successful twominute drill. “Those are the little things you learn from,” Griffin said. Griffin’s uneven camp has in no

Cornerback Rahim Moore called his quarterback multitalented. “He’s got a little skills in his raps,” Moore said. As for a music career, “the sky’s the limit for him,” Moore said. “After football, he might be a head coach, who knows? His future’s so bright. You never know, he might be a president.”

Chiefs’ Charles relishes chance to lay the lumber ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Jamaal Charles is known for his speed and skill. He’d like to be known for his ability to lay the lumber, too. The Chiefs’ Pro Bowl running back relishes the chance to drop a blitzing safety or linebacker, even though there are no fantasy points at stake for a block. He considers it one of the biggest reasons why he’s become one of the few every-down running backs in the league. In fact, Charles has even coined his own “Jamaal Charles rule,” whereby he promises to keep his defender out of his quarterback’s face for 3 seconds. After that, they’re on their own. Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said Monday that Charles has become a better blocker over the last year, and that’s allowed him to take the next step toward greatness.

Pettine plans to name Browns starter later in week BEREA, Ohio — Browns coach Mike Pettine expects to name a starting quarterback for next Monday’s game against the Washington Redskins sometime this week. Until then, the competition remains wide open. During a rain-soaked practice Monday morning, Brian Hoyer continued to take reps with the firstteam offense, while Johnny Manziel practiced with the second-team. Both quarterbacks struggled in the sloppier conditions, with Hoyer throwing two interceptions. Pettine said that he will mix the reps through the week, expecting to make a decision with the staff based on a number of factors. In Saturday’s preseason opener, Hoyer was 6 of

way suggested a quarterback controversy. Backup Kirk Cousins has had some sharp practices, but he is usually practicing against the second-team defense. Griffin is the undisputed starter. “He’s got the keys to the franchise in his hands,” Gruden said. “And he’s going to take us a long way, so he’s got to make the right decisions, and we’re counting on him to do that.” Griffin said it’s tough staying patient during the learning process, especially when so much is expected of him. “That’s something that I’ll always have to deal with,” Griffin said. “It’s not necessarily patience. It’s about knowing that greater things are coming.” If nothing else, Griffin might have started a new Redskins trend with younger fans. When he met with a pair of cancer survivors and a MakeA-Wish child this week, he turned the tables by asking for their autographs. “I tell you what, if I had met Michael Jordan [when I was growing up] and he asked me for my autograph, I think it would have been a shock,” Griffin said. “So it’s kind of flipping the script on them a little bit. But I think it means something to them, and if I’m their first autograph, then it’s an honor for me.” NOTES u Jackson returned to full practice after several days of nursing a sore left ankle. He expects to play next Monday against the Cleveland Browns. u CB DeAngelo Hall was limited in practice a day after a tumble left him with a bruised back and muscle spasms. u Gruden said TE Jordan Reed will undergo tests after missing a third consecutive day of practice with a virus.

Police looking at Lynch in assault investigation BELLEVUE, Wash. — Police in Bellevue, Wash., are investigating whether Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was involved in an assault and damage of personal property. The Bellevue Police Department released a statement Monday morning saying that the alleged incident took place around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and that Lynch is alleged to have been involved. Bellevue police stated that they have not been able to verify whether Lynch was involved, but are investigating. The incident was reported by the female victim about 12 hours after it took place at a downtown Bellevue apartment. Police say there was no domestic violence or sexual assault involved in the allegation. The Seahawks did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Injuries sidetracking Saints’ revamped secondary WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — If the secondary the Saints envisioned coming into training camp is going to mesh by the regular season, it’ll have to happen quickly. The Saints have been practicing without 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey since Aug. 1. Cornerback Patrick Robinson, a 2010 first-round draft choice expected to compete with Baily for a starting job, has spent Monday’s practice pedaling a stationary bike while working through an unspecified injury that drove him out of practice over the weekend. Meanwhile, safety Jairus Byrd continues to limit his work to mostly individual drills and avoiding contact which might upset his surgically repaired back. Payton says he expects Baily and Robinson back soon and has confidence in the potential third-year reserve defensive back Corey White, during their absence. The Associated Press

The Broncos’ Brock Osweiler stretches during the first day of training camp July 24 in Englewood, Colo. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO

Osweiler: Manning’s only backup Continued from Page B-1 This came, appropriately, after a 46-minute lightning delay in the first quarter. “I was like ‘Shoot, I’ve been waiting six months to play,’ and a lightning delay happens,” Osweiler said. “That’s part of the game. You just have to be patient. There are certain things that take place that you can’t control. That’s one of them.” Another is waiting for Manning to call it a career. Osweiler is the only backup Manning has ever had who was drafted with the explicit intent of one day succeeding him. And every summer, GM John Elway’s most scrutinized draft pick has provided plenty of fodder for his supporters and detractors alike with his up-and-down play in the preseason. Osweiler realizes it’s time to shine. “I feel like a completely different quarterback,” he said. “I feel like I’m playing at a much higher level than I did last year and especially my rookie year. I have very high goals for myself and very high expectations.” Osweiler, who has played in nine games and thrown 20 passes in his cameo NFL career, said his greatest growth came through working with the starting offense last season on the half-dozen Wednesdays that Manning took off to save his legs. “It was huge,” Osweiler said. “It allowed me to work with the first string offense, which as a backup you don’t get a lot of opportunities to do. You don’t take a lot of snaps with the starting center. You’re not throwing to Demaryius [Thomas] and Julius [Thomas], who maybe run different routes or have different timing than the second group of guys that I’m used to. “So, to get those reps last season really helped me progress in this offense and just feel comfortable being out there with the 1s.” That helped him more than any of the copious notes he’s taken while watching Manning for 2½ years or the mop-up duty he’s done about once a month during his NFL career. “The preseason the last two years has essentially been my regular season,” said Osweiler, whose most extensive playing time came in the regular season finale at Oakland last year, when Manning took the second half off after building a 31-0 lead. In his first appearance this summer, Osweiler completed half of his 12 passes for 85 yards in 2½ quarters. “I know how I’m capable of playing and the level I’m capable of playing to,” Osweiler said. “I just want to show that to our coaching staff, my teammates and the rest of the Broncos organization.”

Woods: For all his talent, McIlroy wins a major with grit Finished No. 70 in standings By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

Continued from Page B-1 missed the cut by five shots at the PGA Championship, where he said he played through the pain of a nagging back injury. He is not playing the Wyndham Championship this week in North Carolina, and Woods is not eligible for the two FedEx Cup playoff events that will serve as an audition for Watson. “I’ll be very, very focused on the players who are high up in the ranks,” Watson said. As for Woods? He made it sound as if he would have a telephone glued to his ear. “I will continue to speak with Tiger over the next three weeks to monitor his situation,” Watson said. “Obviously, he has not been playing well. But I think it’s been a result, as you well know, of his injury and his coming back from back surgery.” Woods has gone more than a year without winning, and this injury-filled year has been like no other. He played eight tournaments and completed 72 holes only three times. He missed two cuts, withdrew from the final round of two other tournaments and missed a 54-hole cut at Torrey Pines, where he is an eight-time winner. His best finish was a tie for 25th at Doral, where Woods played in the next-to-last group on Sunday and posted his highest score ever (78) in the final round. He finished at No. 70 in the Ryder Cup standings. Woods hurt his back again at Firestone, though he said it was unrelated to his microdiscectomy surgery in March. He said a trainer popped a joint back into place and he was pain free Wednesday at the PGA. He reported stiffness Thursday and his back “went out on me” while warming up for the second round. Can he be trusted to be forthcoming with Watson? “Absolutely,” Watson replied sternly, looking away to make his point. The 64-year-old captain was asked if Woods might want to play so badly that he might tell Watson he is better than he really is. “Again, I trust Tiger to give me the straight skinny,” Watson said. “I trust him inherently.” It was difficult to read Watson’s plans for Woods — if any — on this Ryder Cup team because they have never been close. Paul Azinger, captain of the only U.S. team that won the Ryder Cup in the past 15 years, said over the weekend he would not pick Woods because he was injured, not playing well and didn’t know where the golf ball was going. Watson made it sound as if he were leaning more on Woods’ past than the current state of his game, not to mention his health. “He is Tiger Woods. He brings something to the team in a big way,” Watson said. “He’s been really good in the team room of recent and he’s a factor with the players. I know that for a fact. He’s a very positive influence on the players. But the most important thing is can he play? Can he physically play and is he playing well? Get back to those two points. Like I said, I’ll monitor that situation in the next three weeks.” The American team already is missing Dustin Johnson, who has taken a “voluntary leave” for what he described as “personal challenges.” Matt Kuchar withdrew from the final major of the year with a back injury. Bubba Watson has finished in the top 10 only once in the four months since winning the Masters. Tom Watson said he was happy with the nine players who made the team — Watson, Kuchar, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Jimmy Walker, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Zach Johnson. For his picks, he said he wants players in good form and with guts. “We have got players that can get the job done,” he said. Qualifying for Europe’s team does not end until Aug. 31 after the Italian Open, and captain Paul McGinley will make his picks Sept. 2.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Anyone could see Rory McIlroy had the gifts to be the next big thing in golf. His victory in the PGA Championship was more about grit. That might be more impressive than some of the numbers associated with his latest major. McIlroy has won his four majors at a combined 62-under par. The only other players in the last century to win four majors at 25 or younger were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones. It had been six years since anyone won two straight majors (Padraig Harrington) or three straight tournaments (Woods). “It’s beginning to look a little Tigeresque, I supposed,”

Graeme McDowell said. “I said to the boys at The Open, I didn’t think we were going to see the new Tiger Rory McIlroy era just yet. I’m not eating my words, but I’m certainly starting to chew on them right now.” The comparisons with Woods are becoming inevitable. Even though the circumstances were slightly different, McIlroy had his own Valhalla moment. The last two PGA Championships at Valhalla were all about guts. Fourteen years ago, Woods was on the verge of going three shots down with three holes to play when a mixture of determination and good fortune turned everything around.

Woods made a 12-foot par putt and Bob May missed a 4-footer for birdie. Woods caught him two holes later with a birdie set up by a 335-yard drive on a hole where he couldn’t afford to miss. He forced a playoff with a 6-foot birdie on the last hole that Woods still calls the most important putt he ever made. That was three majors in a row for Woods, and he went on to an unprecedented sweep of the majors. McIlroy is not there yet. The next step is Augusta National — the Masters starts in 241 days — and a shot at his third straight major and the career Grand Slam. What he carries with him is the belief that he can battle back just as easily as he can blow away a field. Boy Wonder can make the game look easy, even in the majors. He was eight shots ahead at Congressional going

into the last day and he set the U.S. Open scoring record on a rain-softened course in 2011. He was three ahead at Kiawah Island going into the last round of the 2012 PGA Championship when he won by a record eight shots. And he had a six-shot lead on Sunday when he polished off that wire-to-wire win at the British Open last month. So he was in foreign territory standing in the 10th fairway at Valhalla on Sunday. He watched from 281 yards away as Rickie Fowler poured in a 30-foot birdie putt that put McIlroy three shots behind with nine holes to play. The 3-wood he struck — a little lower than he planned, a little more left than he wanted — rolled up the left side of the fairway and onto the green just 7 feet left of the cup, and the eagle putt is what got him back

in the game. McIlroy still had plenty of work left. He made a 10-foot birdie on the 13th hole to share the lead. He went back ahead by one shot when the A-list of challengers — Fowler, Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson — all made mistakes. And then he sealed it with a 9-iron from a fairway bunker on the 17th hole to 10 feet. That gave him a two-shot lead. The final round as so close that it was the largest lead by anyone all day. McIlroy posted a photo on Twitter in the early hours of Monday showing him holding the claret jug and the Wanamaker Trophy from the last two majors. “The summer of 2014 is one I’ll never forget!!” he wrote. Maybe it will get even better. Whatever happens, McIlroy should now be equipped for just about anything.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Woman should find her own path Dear Annie: I’m a young woman with a degree in education. After spending several years as a student teacher and co-teacher, I decided that I really don’t want to remain in teaching. I know I should have switched majors in college, but I hoped this would work out. I also was worried about what my family would think. These same well-meaning family members are now actively pushing me to accept a teaching position in a nearby small town. I went to the interview to please them, but the entire time, I was wishing I were somewhere else. I have told only my immediate family that I’m going to turn down the job if offered. So what do I tell these other relatives about my job decision? How do I keep them off my back? I’m already suffering health issues due to anxiety, and I don’t know how much more I can take. I’m tempted to move out of the area, but I love living in my town. Any help would be much appreciated. — Ready To Run Away Dear Ready: You have to develop a stronger spine. Your career choices belong to you, and although some folks may be disappointed, that’s their problem. Their disapproval should not determine your future. Practice saying, “I’m sorry you are unhappy with my choice.” You don’t have to talk about the reasons, nor do you need to create excuses. But you have to be able to withstand the fallout, which will be temporary in any case. This, too, shall pass. Dear Annie: Last year, my son married a girl we adore. He and his new wife live in the same town. But ever since the wedding, he barely speaks to us. It’s as if he started his new life and forgot about his old one. He’ll respond when I call or text, but he never initiates contact. He

treats his siblings the same way, which makes me sad. The only way we see him is when I invite them over for dinner. We got along fine when he lived at home, so I don’t understand how he has seemingly forgotten us. I don’t know how to address this with him without coming across as rude. — Lonely Mom Dear Mom: You are making this an emotional crisis, and it doesn’t have to be. Your son still loves and cares about you. Let us explain: When your son lived at home, you saw him every day, and contact didn’t require any effort from him. Now that he lives away, it doesn’t occur to him to call or text, because he never had to think about it before. He is conditioned to let someone else do the work. Here’s how you fix it: Let him know you miss him and would love it if he’d remember to call or text once or twice a week. But understand that you’ll still have to do most of the work. Then make friends with his wife. Call her. Text her. Ask her to go shopping with you or meet you for lunch. But also be sure to give them their space. While they are both part of your family, they are first and foremost a unit unto themselves. Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “My Heart Is Breaking,” whose father-in-law wanted to have a second memorial service for his late wife, even though they already had one when she died two years ago. My mother passed away two years ago and was cremated. We only recently put her ashes where she wished, because we wanted the whole family to be there, and many of them lived far away or had other commitments. We had a wonderful time remembering the good times. It’s never too late to commemorate your parents. Mine are always in my heart. — A Grateful Daughter

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Venus moves into a position where you will be able to pull white rabbits out of a black hat. Your popularity is likely to soar. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might decide to unleash your intense intellect. Others might be taken aback by the quality or depth of a conversation. Tonight: Add some vitality to your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH If you feel that an agreement or situation is off, pull back some. Honor your feelings, and you will be OK. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could feel as though a personal matter is out of whack. Know what you expect to get from a situation. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

Today in history

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others are likely to come through for you once you let them know that you need some help or support. Tonight: Hang with friends.

Today is Tuesday, August 12, the 224th day of 2014. There are 141 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On August 12, 1939, the classic MGM movie musical The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland, had its world premiere at the Strand Theater in Oconomowoc, Wis., three days before opening in Hollywood. (Oconomowoc was chosen to test the film’s appeal to Middle Americans.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are bound and determined to show your competency. You could take someone’s harsh comments personally, but that would be a mistake. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. Jacqueline Bigar
