Rail Runner claims cost taxpayers nearly $8M Commutertraindidn’tpay insurance premiums until lastmonth,records show By Barry Massey The Associated Press

New Mexico’s commuter rail service has received a free ride while taxpayers have shelled out nearly $8 million to settle damage claims against the Rail Runner Express, according to state records. The Rail Runner, until last month, didn’t pay premiums for the state’s self-insurance program that provides liability coverage for settlements of lawsuits against government agencies. The insurance arrangement represented a little-known subsidy for the state-owned passenger train. The taxpayer-financed liability fund has covered about $7.7 million in settlements involving the Rail Runner, including $4.2 million for wrongful death claims for car-train accidents in Valencia County that killed three people in 2007, according to General Services Department records. Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration started assessing an annual insurance premium on the Rail Runner in the budget year that began last month. The Rail Runner will pay $2 million to cover liability claims up to $3 million. The Rail Runner buys insurance in the private market for claims over that amount. State agencies typically pay for

hile lovers now have a way to ensure their favorite red or green is bonafide New Mexico grown by looking for a new state label. Chile growers can have their product certified as New Mexico grown, for a price. The New Mexico Chile Association launched the voluntary New Mexico Certified Chile program on Monday. Growers pay $500 a year to have their red and green chile certified as New Mexico grown and to be able to label their products as such. Restaurants and markets can register with the program for free as New Mexico chile vendors. Growers like the Fronzoy family of Chile River Farm in Hatch were

among the first to join the certification program. They think it’s an important way to protect a traditional New Mexico crop and also give buyers a geography lesson. “Too many people have been using the Hatch label to sell their chiles,” said Victoria Fronzoy, who

City panel backs plan to expand radius for patrol cars Contract would allow longer commutes in take-home vehicles By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

A proposal that would allow newly hired Santa Fe police officers to commute in their patrol cars from as far away as 45 miles from the city limits sailed through a city committee Monday. The proposal, part of a new contract negotiated with the police officers’ union, would expand the current 15-mile radius for new hires under current take-home rules. The five-member Finance Committee made only minor changes to various proposals before unanimously endorsing the contract, including the revision of a take-home policy adopted in 2011. Former police chief Ray Rael said at the time that long-range commutes in patrol cars drove up the city’s gas and maintenance costs. Although extending the range for take-home cars was billed by some as a way to help recruit new officers in the face of Santa Fe’s relatively higher living costs, some city officials have said they don’t want to create incentives for police officers to live outside the community they serve. The new policy, if adopted by the full City Council, would apply to officers hired since April 2012. Current rules allow officers hired before April 2012 to drive their patrol cars home within a 60-mile radius of Santa Fe, a standard set in place in 2003 that accommodates officers who prefer to live in com-

NATION&WORLD Dollar General jumps after bid The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Corporate deal news gave the U.S. stock market a lift on Monday as a bidding contest erupted for a discount retailer. Stocks also climbed amid reports of diplomatic efforts to broker a cease-fire in the conflict in Ukraine. Dollar General jumped after making a bid for retailer Family Dollar, a rival discount store. The offer topped a bid made last month by Dollar Tree, another discount retailer. Airlines were also among the big gainers as the price of oil slumped. The stock market is bouncing back after a bout of summer volatility. “Investors are focusing back on earnings and fundamentals and not as worried about some of those geopolitical pressures right now,” said Chris Gaffney, a senior market strategist at Everbank Wealth Management. Airline stocks were among the gainers as well after the price of oil fell to its lowest level since April as fears of supply disruptions from Iraq eased. Southwest Airlines rose $1.06, or 4 percent, to $30.82. United Continental climbed $1.83, also 4 percent, to $47.84. In commodities trading, oil fell close to its lowest price since April. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 94 cents, or 1 percent, to $96.41 a barrel in New York. Prices for U.S. government bonds fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.39 percent from 2.34 percent on Friday.

NAIROBI, Kenya oachers killed an estimated 100,000 elephants across Africa between 2010 and 2012, a huge spike in the continent’s death rate of the world’s largest mammals because of an increased demand for ivory in China and other Asian nations, a new study published Monday found. Warnings about massive elephant slaughters have been ringing for years, but Monday’s study is the first to scientifically quantify the number of deaths across the continent by measuring deaths in one closely monitored park in Kenya and using other published data to extrapolate fatality tolls across the continent. The study — which was carried out by the world’s leading elephant experts — found that the proportion of illegally killed elephants has climbed from 25 percent of all elephant deaths a decade ago to roughly 65 percent of all elephant deaths today, a percentage that, if continued, will lead to the extinction of the species. China’s rising middle class and the demand for ivory in that country of 1.3 billion people is driving the black market price of ivory up, leading to more impoverished people in Africa “willing to take the criminal risk on and kill elephants. The causation in my mind is clear,”

said the study’s lead author, George Wittemyer of Colorado State University. The peer-review study was published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It was co-authored by experts from Save the Elephants, the Kenya Wildlife Service, an international group called MIKE responsible for monitoring the illegal killings of elephants, and two international universities. “The current demand for ivory is unsustainable. That is our overarching conclusion. It must come down. Otherwise the elephants will continue to decrease,” said Iain

Douglas-Hamilton, founder of Save the Elephants. Elephant deaths are not happening at the same rate across Africa. The highest death rate is in central Africa, with East Africa — Tanzania and Kenya — not far behind. Botswana is a bright spot, with a population that is holding steady or growing. South Africa’s rhinos are being killed, but poachers have not yet begun attacking elephants. Some individual elephant death numbers are shocking. The elephant population in Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve dropped from 40,000 to 13,000 over the last three years.

Study: Light quakes come from drilling WASHINGTON — Man-made earthquakes, a side effect of some high-tech energy drilling, cause less shaking and in general are about 16 times weaker than natural earthquakes with the same magnitude, a new federal study found. People feeling the ground move from induced quakes — those that are not natural, but triggered by injections of wastewater deep underground— report significantly less shaking than those who experience more normal earthquakes of the same magnitude, according to a study by U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Susan Hough. Hough studied similar-sized man-made and natural quakes in the central and eastern United States from 2011 to 2013, comparing the reported magnitude to what people said they felt in the USGS electronic “Did You Feel It” survey.

LONDON — Doctors and nurses fighting Ebola in West Africa are working 14-hour days, seven days a week, wearing head-to-toe gear in the heat of muddy clinics. Agonizing death is the norm. The hellish conditions aren’t the only problem: Health workers struggle to convince patients they’re trying to help them, not hurt them. Rumors are rife that Western aid workers are importing Ebola, stealing bodies or even deliberately infecting patients. Winning trust is made harder by a full suit of hood, goggles, mask and gown that hides their faces. “You want to say so much … because they’re in so much pain,” said nurse Monia Sayah, of Doctors Without Borders. “They suffer so much, but they can only see your eyes.” The outbreak has hit three of the world’s poorest countries, where health systems were already woefully understaffed and ill-equipped. In Liberia, there is only one doctor for every 100,000 people, while in Sierra Leone there are two, according to the World Health Organization; there were no statistics available for Guinea. The figure is 245 for the United States. Emotional distress conspires with exhaustion and dehydration, but doctors say it’s hard to stop working. “When the need is so great, you can’t justify not being there for a day or going home earlier,” said Dr. Robert Fowler, who recently worked in Guinea and Sierra Leone. Death is the fate of more than half of the West Africans infected in the Ebola outbreak. “With the mortality rate being what it is,” Fowler said, “you know every day there will be a couple of patients on your ward who didn’t make it through the night.” Sayah, the nurse, said that heat makes it impossible to work continuously for more than an hour. It means tasks have to be completed with near-military precision. Her makeshift Ebola tent hospital in Gueckedou, southern Guinea, was converted from an earlier clinic set up by Doctors Without Borders to handle cholera epidemics. “If you have to do patients’ blood work and IVs, you focus only on this, and you know your other team members will get the patients food and drink,” she said.

Gaza Holder to oversee response cease-fire to Ferguson shooting, riots extended Israel, Palestinian officials agree to another 24 hours before talks end By Isabel Kershner The New York Times

JERUSALEM — Israeli and Palestinian officials agreed late Monday to extend a fiveday cease-fire for Gaza that expired at midnight for 24 hours, reflecting the difficulty of reaching more durable agreements after two weeks of Egyptian-brokered talks but also an apparent lack of appetite on either side to resume the conflict. Azzam al-Ahmed, the head of the Palestinian delegation in Cairo, said in a statement, “The negotiations were supposed to end today, but the maneuvers of the Israeli delegation have prevented until now any progress.” He added, “We hope that the next 24 hours will lead to an agreement or the circle of violence will continue.” The Israeli government issued a statement around midnight saying the ceasefire would be extended “at Egypt’s request” to allow for negotiations to continue. Israeli officials have refused to comment on the content or progress of the talks. The main demands of Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza, are a complete lifting of the economic blockade on the Palestinian coastal enclave, allowing the free movement of people and goods in and out, the creation of a seaport, and the reconstruction of a longdefunct airport. Israel wants full demilitarization, a process that would strip Hamas, whose name is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement, and other groups, of their weapons and prevent rearmament. The conflicting demands reflected the sides’ broader agendas. Hamas wants to be able to show its people a clear achievement after a month of fighting that left more than 1,900 Palestinians dead and caused widespread devastation. Israel, in contrast, does not want Hamas to be rewarded in any way after a war in which 64 soldiers and three civilians were killed and Gaza militants launched more than 3,300 rockets and mortar rounds against Israel. Israeli and Palestinian analysts were skeptical that the maximal demands of either side would be met. “Concessions come with a high political cost for both sides,” said Ghassan Khatib, vice president of Birzeit University in the West Bank and a former spokesman for the Palestinian Authority government, “but it is equally costly for either side to resume that level of fierce confrontation.” Khatib cast doubt on the prospects of reaching agreement, saying, “The positions are not reconcilable.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel “is not in a position to give concessions to Hamas” he said, “and it will be very embarrassing for Hamas to be part of agreements that don’t end the closure after all the sacrifice.” Cheryl Scott @ Shear Paradise Salon 1599 South St. Francis Dr. | Ste.

The Washington Post

FERGUSON, Mo. — President Barack Obama on Monday dispatched the attorney general to personally oversee the government’s response to the fatal police shooting 10 days ago of an unarmed black teenager, the latest step in an extensive federal investigation that was expanding even as National Guard troops moved onto the restive streets of this St. Louis suburb. Attorney General Eric Holder will meet Wednesday in Ferguson with some of the FBI agents and prosecutors who have already interviewed more than 200 people as they scour the area where 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed by a white police officer. Holder pledged “the full resources” of his department to investigate Brown’s death, which has triggered unrest so severe that Missouri’s governor on Monday called in the state’s National Guard. Behind the scenes, the administration worked to reassure some in the civil rights community that the nation’s first black president sees the Ferguson crisis as an important moment. In a conference call Monday with civil rights groups, Holder and White House adviser Valerie Jarrett — perhaps Obama’s closest confidant — said the case is a top priority. “We are working tirelessly,” Holder said, according to people on the call, describing how federal investigators have located more than 200 people in a week. He said the investigators are trying to determine if there is enough evidence that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson used excessive force and deprived Brown of his civil rights to support a federal criminal prosecution. A senior federal law enforcement official said in an interview that the FBI’s St. Louis field office has spoken to residents with information about the shooting who had not talked to local investigators. The federal probe, the official said, is “moving swiftly.” The developments came on a day when Obama addressed the chaos in Ferguson in starkly emotional terms at the White House, and Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, D, lifted the overnight curfew he had imposed on Ferguson, saying the imminent

The day also featured revelations from competing autopsies of Brown’s body — the official St. Louis County autopsy and another one requested by his family — both of which concluded that the teenager had been shot six times. Holder said a third autopsy was conducted Monday by the U.S. military. Nixon had ordered the midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew two days earlier after a week of clashes between demonstrators and police following Brown’s death on Aug. 9. He brought in National Guard troops after the most chaotic night yet Sunday, one marked by protesters shooting and throwing molotov cocktails at police, and officers deploying tear gas. The arrival of the Guard troops evoked images of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s — when they were deployed to help integrate institutions in the South and restore order in burning cities — though the Guard is better known recently for its full-time roles in Iraq and Afghanistan. Monday, the Guard’s role contributed to what appeared to be the latest example of federalstate tensions in the response to Brown’s death, which is also being investigated by state officials. A White House official said Nixon did not notify the administration before announcing his decision to call up the Guard. And at his White House news conference, Obama was notably cool in his response and offered only lukewarm support. The president said he had told Nixon in a phone call Monday that the Guard should be “used in a limited and appropriate way.”

Obama was more emotional in talking about Brown’s death. Tthe president lamented statistics showing that “you have young men of color in many communities who are more likely to end up in jail or in the criminal justice system than they are in a good job or in college.” Civil rights leaders said they were pleased by the administration’s escalating response, saying it was a step forward for Obama’s commitment to achieve racial justice. “Having the attorney general visit the site of an ongoing investigation is extra rare,” said NAACP President Cornell William Brooks, who has been in regular touch with the White House over the past week. He added that the “U.S. government’s pursuit of justice for this family is huge.”

Ukraine says separatist rebels killed dozens in attack on refugees DONETSK, Ukraine — Separatists rebels on Monday attacked a caravan of cars carrying refugees trying to flee war-ravaged eastern Ukraine, killing “dozens” of people in a devastating barrage of artillery fire, Ukrainian military officials said, although rebel leaders denied there had been any attack at all. Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian military, told a briefing in Kiev, the capital, that “terrorists had perpetrated a bloody crime” by attacking the refugee convoy with Grad rocket systems and other heavy weapons supplied by Russia. “Many people died, including women and children,” he said, adding that the assault

took place on the main southern highway leading out of the regional capital of Luhansk. The highway where Ukraine says the attack took place connects Luhansk,with the Russian border. The road has seen heavy fighting in recent days as Ukrainian forces have tried to seal off supply routes into the city from Russia that are used by militants to replenish their supply of weaponry and fighters. Here in Donetsk, the last major rebel stronghold, Alexander Zakharchenko, the prime minister of the selfdeclared Donetsk People’s Republic, denied that any such incident had occurred.

Rail Runner: Higher rates for other agencies Continued from Page A-1 coverage based on their history of liability losses. But that didn’t happen for the Rail Runner when it started in 2006 under former Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration. Because the Rail Runner paid nothing into the insurance fund, the rates for other state agencies ended up being higher, according to Risk Management Director A.J. Forte, who discovered the no-premium policy and sought to change it. He estimates there were uncollected Rail Runner premiums of about $5 million during the past three years. Rail Runner won’t be required to retroactively pay any premiums, but will be charged going forward starting with this budget year. “We felt that it was appropriate to charge the Rail Runner premiums and not have the pool take the hit,” Forte said in a recent interview. Terrence Doyle, director of the Rio Metro Regional Transit District, which manages the Rail Runner, said he learned from the Martinez administration earlier this year that the state hadn’t been charging for liability coverage. The rail service had long been paying a private insurer, but it was for coverage beyond what the state provided. “We were a little bit taken aback when this conversation came up because we thought what we were paying covered

everything,” Doyle said. “But we were completely happy to say, ‘Hey, that’s something we need to take on.’ ” The insurance is for claims such as when the train hits livestock, if a rider is injured and for fatalities. Two bicyclists have died this year after being hit by the train in separate accidents in Santa Fe. The Rail Runner is financed by rider fares, a voter-approved tax in the rail service area and federal money. With the state no longer paying for insurance, Doyle said, the train’s budget fully covers operational expenses. “I don’t think there is anything left that I know of on the operation and maintenance side that would be on the burden of the state,” Doyle said. The rail service has another liability provision unique in state government. In damage lawsuits, Forte said, the state indemnifies the losses of the private companies and other governmental agencies involved with the train. That includes Herzog Transit Services, a contractor running the trains; Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, which sold track to the state for the commuter rail service but retains a right to run freight trains over the line; and the Mid-Region Council of Governments, which implemented the rail system for the state and governs the transit district.

Car: Union says policy will help recruiting Continued from Page A-1 munities such as Rio Rancho. However, a subsequent policy that applies only to officers who joined the force after April 2012 allows those officers to drive patrol vehicles home only as far as 15 miles from city limits. Union representatives already have been successful in helping convince Chief Eric Garcia, who took the department’s reins in June, to reverse Rael’s policy of scheduling five eight-hour work shifts each week. A change back to four 10-hour workdays took effect this month. Critics of the shorter take-home range for new hires say it inhibits recruiting. Expanding the range could create an incentive for would-be Santa Fe police officers who prefer to live in areas where

housing costs are lower. Matt Martinez, Santa Fe Police Officers Association president, told Finance Committee members Monday that the new policy wouldn’t drive up gasoline and maintenance costs for taxpayers because the department has saved money in other ways. When the department went back to four 10-hour workdays, that eliminated one commuting day a week for officers. Martinez said that the old schedule of five eight-hour shifts drove up the city’s cost for gas used for commutes in patrol cars by $100,000 annually. Of the approximately 171 police officers in the department, more than half live outside Santa Fe, particularly in Rio Rancho, Martinez said. And even though the size of the force is up from December, when the department reported it

employed 166, Martinez said the department is authorized for an additional 18 officers. The new take-home policy would help in recruiting officers from other agencies, he said. Among arguments in past debates over the take-home policy is what the city can do to encourage police officers to live in the city, partly because having police officers in Santa Fe neighborhoods can help deter crime in those areas. Councilor Carmichael Dominguez, who chairs the Finance Committee, said the proposed contract would have little financial impact on the city’s budget. The last police union contract expired in July 2013. Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062 or ugarcia@sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter at @ujohnnyg.

Odds: Only N.M. team to reach series Continued from Page A-1 cent than now. Playing baseball in different towns was as good a way to spend the summer as they could imagine. Plus, the fields improved as they advanced in the Little League tournament. That championship season saw them play in Carlsbad; Los Alamos; Lubbock, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; and, finally, the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. The boys traveled by car until they qualified for the series. Then they took a train to Williamsport, stopping in Chicago, where Stribling believes they saw both the Cubs and White Sox play. Theirs is still the only baseball team from New Mexico to reach the Little League World Series. The fact that they arrived from a Western outpost and won it all seems to get more important each August, as spectators watch a new champion crowned and reflect on the old ones. Valdez remembers people in Williamsport being perplexed as they sized up the team from Roswell. Some actually thought the players were from Mexico, even though the Little League World Series had no international teams in 1956. “They asked us why we spoke English so well,” Valdez said. New Mexico had been a state for more than 40 years, but Stribling said it seemed to be a mystery to many people attending the series. The Roswell team defeated opponents from suburban Philadelphia and Winchester, Mass., to reach the championship game in what was then an eight-team World Series. Roswell’s pitcher, Tommy Jordan, hit a three-run homer over the center-field fence in the final against Delaware Township, N.J. With Jordan’s blast, Roswell won the Little League World Series by a score of 3-1. Harold Hobson, Roswell’s left fielder, said the magnitude of what he and his teammates accomplished did not register with them until they reached adulthood. They saw the series grow

into an event that first was showcased on ABC’s Wide World of Sports and now is televised on ABC and ESPN’s collection of networks. With age came the realization of the long odds they had overcome, Valdez said. Roswell’s team won 12 consecutive tournament games on the way to the series title, handling all the travel and the growing crowds without ever becoming rattled. The players returned home to a victory parade. Memories and statistics vary a bit, but most say at least 5,000 people greeted the champs in Roswell. Hobson said that, watching the tournament on television, it seems the pressure of the Little League World Series has intensified. Sixteen teams qualify for the series now, eight from the United States and eight from foreign countries. The winners of the international and U.S. brackets are scheduled to play Sunday for the championship. In addition to being bigger, the Little League World Series has made other important strides. Two girls played in series qualifiers this year. It was different in 1956, and not just because of the gender barrier that existed. Media coverage was a pittance. A radio reporter from Roswell station KGFL didn’t make the trip to Williamsport to cover the team, but he broadcast the championship game from his home, relying on telegrams to describe what had happened. Many in town thought it was live coverage, a notion the station did not dispel. Players say the subterfuge worked especially well because the radio announcer went to Clovis, boarded the train there and then rode back to Roswell with the triumphant Little Leaguers. As for the team, it wasn’t focused on the matchups or the lack of media coverage. Hobson said the boys from Roswell knew they were on a good run. They never worried about where or how it would end.

Chile: Program launch party set for today Continued from Page C-1 Jardín de Chile de Chimayó, also said he thinks the state certification program is a good idea, but not at the cost. He said he already receives a visit and free recertification every year as a local Chimayó chile grower from Marie Campos, founder of the Native Hispanic Institute. Chimayó Chile Farmers has a certification mark for heritage red chile grown in Chimayó, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The official launch party for the New Mexico Certified Chile program is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, at The Range Restaurant in Bernalillo. Gov. Susana Martinez is expected to attend. Jaye Hawkins, executive director of the New Mexico Chile Association, said the program builds on a state law that makes it illegal to advertise a food product as New Mexico chile unless it is grown in the state. However, the law can only be enforced by New Mexico Department of Agriculture inspectors within New Mexico’s borders. The New Mexico Certified Chile program is nationwide and will depend on

consumers asking for it specifically, the way many look for the certified organic label. “If we build enough brand recognition, then people will look for it,” Hawkins said. With chile harvests rolling in now, Hawkins said she fields a lot of calls from people who want to know if the chile they are buying at a festival or farmers market is grown in New Mexico. The New Mexico Certified Chile label will be one way to know it is. The program is another stab at saving the state’s ever-dwindling chile industry. While chile sales are expanding worldwide, New Mexico’s production has been in steady decline for a decade, Hawkins said. The acreage of red and green chile being grown in New Mexico has decreased from 34,500 acres in 1992 to 8,600 acres in 2013, according to the U.S. National Agricultural Statistics Survey. While drought and pests are part of the reason chile production is declining, “we attribute the largest part of that to foreign competition,” Hawkins said. “In general, we are seeing a steady decline.” Other countries have cheaper labor

and more water, which helps with the costs of producing chile, she said. Mexico is the state’s primary competitor in the green chile market, Hawkins said. Green chile is shipped fresh, so it cannot come from too far away before it is roasted and sold to consumers. Still, Fronzoy said, “It gets tougher and tougher to grow each year the green chile. It is a finicky plant, and if you don’t have a market, you can’t sell it. With the rising cost of water and labor, the profit margin is getting smaller every year.” Red chile is shipped dry, so the list of competing countries is longer, Fronzoy said. Mexico, Peru, China and India all have shipped red chile to the United States. Contact Staci Matlock at 986-3055 or smatlock@sfnewmexican.com. Follow her on Twitter @stacimatlock.

Militias: Agency doesn’t support groups Continued from Page A-1 3,000 border agents, as well as hundreds of state troopers, game wardens, deputies and local police officers. Gov. Rick Perry is also sending as many as 1,000 National Guard troops. “How do they identify themselves? Do they have badges? How do we know who they are?” asked J.P. Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office. “If they’re all just dressed in camos, it’s kind of hard to distinguish whether they’re law enforcement or not. … There’s a lot of potential for stuff to go wrong.” One year ago, a member of an Arizona Minuteman border-watch group was arrested for pointing a rifle at a sheriff’s deputy he apparently mistook for a drug smuggler. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio warned of “chaos if you’re going to have private citizens dressed just like our deputies taking the law into their own hands.” If militia members aren’t careful in their dealings with real law officers, “there could be some dead militia out there,” he added. The Border Patrol declined to comment on the encounter in Mission, referring questions to a general statement on militias released last month by U.S.

Customs and Border Protection. That statement said the agency “does not endorse or support any private group or organization from taking matters into their own hands as it could have disastrous personal and public safety consequences.” The militia members who surprised the Border Patrol that night told agents they wanted to help with the “border crisis” and that they supported the agency’s efforts, according to a copy of the issue paper obtained by The Associated Press. Emails sent to a website for the Texas Militia were not answered. The spot where the incident happened is a popular smuggling corridor where a thumb of Mexican farmland pushes a deep pocket into South Texas. The canal, an earthen channel that delivers water to the city of Mission, is 6 to 8 feet deep. Immigrants who emerge from the canal have only to cross a single sorghum field to reach a road. A surge of illegal immigration put renewed attention on the border this summer. About 63,000 unaccompanied child immigrants were arrested between October and July, the vast majority of them in South Texas. Some militia and self-described “patriot” groups responded with a call to seal the border. Barbie Rogers, founder of the Patriots

Information Hotline, said at last count there were 13 such teams on the Texas border. If they are each similar in size to the one that showed up in Mission, that would be fewer than 100 people operating on the 1,255-mile Texas border. Rogers uses a website and hotline to coordinate donations and supply lines to militia groups in the field. Asked how many people that amounted to, she said, “I couldn’t tell you that because it could compromise their security.” She said the teams she knows keep sheriffs’ offices and the Border Patrol apprised of their activity. Asked about the Texas Militia members appearing in Mission without identifying themselves, Rogers said, “They should have. I can’t imagine that they didn’t.” The teams, she said, try to advise the Border Patrol as soon as they spot illegal activity. They will detain people until authorities arrive, although Rogers acknowledged they have no authority to hold anyone. “Usually the people coming across are so scared they just sit there and wait,” she said.

Iraqi forces reclaim control of key dam from militants

The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraqi and Kurdish forces recaptured Iraq’s largest dam from Islamic militants Monday following dozens of U.S. airstrikes, President Barack Obama said, in the first major defeat for the extremists since they swept across the country this summer. Militants from the Islamic State group had seized the Mosul Dam on Aug. 7, giving them access and control of enormous power and water reserves and threatening to deny those resources to much of Iraq.

Pope OKs force vs. extremists to protect minorities By Nicole Winfield The Associated Press

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Pope Francis on Monday said efforts to stop Islamic militants from attacking religious minorities in Iraq are legitimate but said the international community — and not just Pope Francis one country — should decide how to intervene. Francis was asked if he approved of the unilateral U.S. airstrikes on militants of the Islamic State group, who have captured swaths of northern and western Iraq and northeastern Syria and have forced minority Christians and others to either convert to Islam or flee their homes. “In these cases, where there is an unjust aggression, I can only say that it is licit to stop the unjust aggressor,” Francis said. “I underscore the verb ‘stop.’ I’m not saying ‘bomb’ or ‘make war,’ just ‘stop.’ And the means that can be used to stop them must be evaluated.” Francis also said he and his advisers were considering whether he might go to northern Iraq himself to show solidarity with persecuted Christians. But he said he was holding off for now on a decision. The pope’s comments were significant because the Vatican has vehemently opposed any military intervention in recent years. Pope Paul VI famously uttered the words “War never again, never again war” at the United Nations in 1965 as the Vietnam War raged, a refrain that has been repeated by every pope since. St. John Paul II actively tried to head off the Iraq war on the grounds that a “preventive” war couldn’t be justified. He repeatedly called for negotiations to resolve the crisis over Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait a decade prior. Francis himself staged a global prayer and fast for peace when the U.S. was threatening airstrikes on Syria last year. But in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks — in the Vatican’s mind an “unjust aggression” — John Paul defended the “legitimate fight against terrorism,” and the right of nations to defend themselves against terrorist attacks. He did though call for restraint and the Vatican subsequently focused its position on emphasizing the need to eradicate the root causes of terrorism: poverty and oppression. Recently, the Vatican has been increasingly showing support for military intervention in Iraq, given that Christians are being directly targeted because of their faith and that Christian communities, which have existed for 2,000 years, have been emptied as a result of the extremists’ onslaught.

is urgently providing arms and assistance to Iraqi security forces as well as Kurdish fighters fighting the extremists. “We’ve got a national security interest in making sure our people are protected and in making sure that a savage group that seems willing to slaughter people for no rhyme or reason other than they have not kowtowed — that a group like that is contained, because ultimately it can pose a threat to us,” Obama told reporters. He also urged the badly fractured and largely dysfunctional Iraqi government to move quickly to forge a united front. He noted last week’s decision by Nouri al-Maliki to step down as Iraq’s prime minister, a move that raised hopes a new government could roll back Iraq’s powerful Sunni insurgency and prevent the country from splitting apart. “They’ve got to get this done

because the wolf’s at the door,” Obama said. There were conflicting statements throughout the day from the Kurdish commanders, the Iraqi military in Baghdad, the Pentagon and the militants of the Islamic State group over who was in control of the strategic 2.1-mile dam that spans the Tigris River. Completed in 1986 under Saddam Hussein, it includes a sprawling complex with power generators, offices and employee housing. The southern end is mostly reserved for housing and offices. Before Obama spoke, Kurdish forces spokesman Halgurd Hekmat said the peshmerga regained full control of the dam and its surrounding facilities following two days of fierce clashes. But Iraq’s Defense Ministry said security forces only “liberated a large part of the Mosul Dam” with the help

of U.S. airstrikes, adding that forces had not freed the entire complex. Iraqi army spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said at least 170 bombs have been dismantled around the dam but many more remain. He added that militants fled to areas near the south of the complex, hiding in homes and offices on the premises. The Islamic State group denied it had lost control of the facility, saying on a website frequently used by the militants that the Iraqi government claim was a “mere propaganda war.” The U.S. Central Command

said it carried out 15 airstrikes near the dam Monday with fighter jets, bombers and drones. There were 25 U.S. airstrikes on Saturday and Sunday, it said. The Obama administration has also agreed to supply peshmerga forces with light weapons and ammunition, as have the French. The moves may provide Iraqi forces with a significant morale boost as they try to retake territory overrun by the Islamic State this summer. Some 1.5 million people have been displaced by fighting in Iraq since the Islamic State’s rapid advance began in June.

Iraqi forces suffered a string of humiliating defeats at the hands of the Islamic State as the extremists took over large parts of northern and western Iraq and sent religious minorities fleeing. The militants’ battlefield victories brought U.S. forces back into the conflict for the first time since it withdrew its troops in 2011 and reflected the growing international concern about the Sunni extremist group. Washington launched attacks from its warplanes and drones on Aug. 8. Obama called recapturing the dam by Iraqi and Kurdish forces a “major step forward” in the battle against Islamic State militants. Had the dam been breached, it could have had catastrophic consequences and endangered U.S. Embassy personnel in Baghdad, Obama said at the White House. He said the U.S.

LOCAL NEWS Pot petition gets enough signatures Unclear if issue will go before voters on November ballot By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Santa Fe voters will have a chance to decide whether possession of small amounts of marijuana should be a civil penalty — similar to a parking ticket or a code enforcement violation — but when they will get their say on the matter is still up in the air. City Clerk Yolanda Vigil said Monday that she has certified a petition to decriminalize possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.

Proponents needed at least 5,673 signatures from registered voters within city limits to qualify, as well as a certain number from each of the city’s four council districts. Of the 10,925 signatures submitted, Vigil said 5,754 were deemed valid. The rest were rejected, or “purged,” for various reasons, including signatures of people not registered to vote in the city. Vigil said she plans to ask the Santa Fe County Board of Commissioners to put a two-pronged question — dealing with the repeal of an existing law and creating a new section — on the November general election ballot during the board’s Aug. 26 meeting. The request is contingent on the City

Council approving a resolution the next day to put the questions on the ballot, but the issue has to go to the county first to meet deadlines to put the questions on the November ballot. It’s unknown, however, whether there will be room on the November ballot. In June, a spokesman for the Secretary of State’s Office, which coordinates statewide elections, said it “appears unlikely” that a “lengthy municipal question” could be added to a November ballot already crowded with constitutional amendments, judicial retention questions and candidates for office.

hasin Chandler said he wasn’t scared of his first day of school at a new school. After all, it was his first day of school anywhere. The 4-year-old smiling blond showed off his iPad and said he looked forward to the first day of learning in his pre-K class at Nina Otero Community School. Some 500 students in grades K-7 arrived Monday at the school for the first time. Before the ringing of first bell at 7:50 a.m., Superintendent Joel Boyd and Assistant Principal Jeremy Philipp were on hand to greet the students. Ayeh Safi, a seventh-grader who transferred from Ortiz Middle School, said she loves Nina Otero. “It’s a bigger, brighter space,” she said. “They made it look comfortable. And the teachers are super nice. And there’s lockers.” Most of the seventh-graders in one class couldn’t figure out how to open their lock-

ers until the one girl among them who succeeded with her combination laid it all out: three turns to the right for the first number, one turn to the left for the second number and one turn to the right for the third number. At least one of the kids said he wished he had his computer so he could look up the locker instructions. First-grade teacher Linda Archibald welcomed students to a colorful classroom decorated with an alphabet board full of pictures of objects correlating to letters (a zebra for Z, a cat for C and so on) and a note on a big flip chart that read, “I am so excited to meet each and every one of you.” Archibald jumped right into instruction with a discussion of the super powers associated with reading and helped her kids write a small “moment” story. Archibald and the other instructors had to give up some classroom time so students could take a short tour of the school and receive a lesson in cafeteria protocol, which included recycling food and milk into plastic bins so school workers could dump it into

Mayor Javier Gonzales is slowing a pilot project to provide free weekend shuttle service between the Santa Fe University of Art and Design campus on St. Michael’s Drive and the Santa Fe Plaza area during the fall semester. The City Council’s Finance Committee had been scheduled to consider the proposal Monday,

but the item was pulled from the agenda. “The mayor says it got pulled because he’s still working with staff to try and identify funding sources that would be used to address the city councilors’ requests,” city spokeswoman Celina Espinoza said. The proposal called for providing shuttles between the university and the Plaza, as well as the Santa Fe Railyard, from 6 to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday during a four-month pilot project that would have started Aug. 28.

As blood samples from a New Mexico woman who may have come in contact with the Ebola virus went to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday, public health officials reassured Santa Feans there are no known instances of contact with the disease here to date. “The department would like New Mexicans to be aware of Ebola, but not worried about it,” New Mexico Department of Health spokesman Kenny Vigil said Monday. “People at greatest risk are those who have traveled to areas where Ebola is present and have been exposed to anyone with Ebola.” A 30-year-old woman from Bernalillo County has been quarantined and is in stable condition at University Hospital in Albuquerque after potentially coming in contact with the disease during a recent teaching trip to Sierra Leone, one of several West African nations with known cases of Ebola, according to the Department of Health. Test results from the CDC determining whether she contracted the disease are expected by the end of the week. “Because the patient had returned from an area with Ebola and had symptoms compatible with the disease, the Department [of Health] determined it would be prudent to test for Ebola even though the likelihood was felt to be relatively low,” Vigil said. The New Mexico woman, who went to University Hospital complaining of a sore throat, headache, muscle aches and a fever, is being screened for the disease as a precaution, Vigil said. She had no known exposures to the virus, which is transmitted through direct contact with open wounds or exchange of bodily fluids with someone infected with the disease. New Mexico Department of Health Secretary Retta Ward offered assurances Monday that no one should be deterred from going to Albuquerque or the hospital because of the patient’s presence. “People who have to go to [University] Hospital should keep their appointments and go there with full confidence that they will be safe,” Ward said. University Hospital is equipped, and its staff is trained in CDC standards for infection control, hospital spokesman John Arnold said. “Patients and visitors should know that our facilities are safe, and there is no public health danger whatsoever to those who visit or are treated at [University] Hospital,” Arnold said. Two American health workers who were evacuated from Liberia recently and returned home to the United States remain the only confirmed cases of Ebola in the country to date. Both are hospitalized in isolation in Atlanta.

Judge removes legal hurdle for Arroyo Hondo temple Religious group allowed to build, but neighbors can still file appeal By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

sider extended hours, the memo stated the university believes the proposed 6-11 p.m. schedule is “reasonable” for purposes of the pilot project. “But the hours should be revisited after the pilot program ends to determine if adjustments might be necessary based on student feedback,” the memo stated. Councilors also had questioned whether the university could contribute money to the pilot project. The university, which charges between $17,800 and $28,836 a year in tuition, declined.

A state district judge’s decision Monday paves the way for construction of a temple in Arroyo Hondo by members of a Christian-based religious sect that uses hallucinogenic tea as a sacrament, despite neighborhood opposition to the project. The battle between some residents of the area southeast of Santa Fe and the O Centro Espirita Beneficente União do Vegetal, a religion that originated in Brazil and is commonly referred to as UDV, has been winding its way through state and federal courts for years. It started in 2011 when the Santa Fe County Commission denied UDV’s application to build on land where it had been holding services in a yurt for several years. The commission’s vote came after neighbors raised concerns about late night services, noise and possible water contamination, among other things. UDV appealed the denial to U.S. District Court in February 2012 on the grounds that the decision violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. A group of neighbors — including Robert Seigel, Sheila Seigel, Leslie Turner, Marion Turner and David Gibson — filed an amicus brief in the case detailing their concerns. The case was sent to mediation, and the county and UDV reached a settlement that called for Santa Fe County to allow construction of the temple and required the county to take certain actions aimed at addressing neighbors’ fears. For example, the agreement required the county to bring water to the site and pay for a water treatment system and required UDV to build a taller wall around the property. The agreement also called for Santa Fe County to pay UDV $750,000 in legal fees. In November 2012, the County Commission voted 4-1 to accept the deal and have the settlement converted to a federal court judgment. But a month later, the neighbors appealed the

Temple: Case has lasted years Continued from Page A-6 commission’s decision to accept the deal, arguing that, among other things, the agreement violated the state constitution’s anti-donation clause and federal law on separation of church and state. Because the appeal made arguments based on federal law, the appeal was moved from state court to U.S. District Court. But the neighbors later withdrew the part of their appeal that made arguments based on federal law and, in December 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Ken Gonzales affirmed the settlement agreement and sent the neighbors’ complaint about the County Commission’s decision to approve the deal back to state District Court. UDV intervened in the case — which pitted the neighbors against the county — and

moved to have the case dismissed based on the grounds that a state District Court could not change a federal court judgment. At a hearing Monday, state District Court Judge Raymond Ortiz granted UDV’s motion to dismiss. “He told them that if they wanted relief from the federal judgment they would have to go back to federal court and ask the federal judge for relief,” said attorney John Boyd, who represented UDV in the case. Boyd said the neighbors still can appeal the federal court judgment that allowed the settlement, or they can appeal Ortiz’s decision in state court. Attorneys representing the neighbors didn’t return a call Monday seeking information on whether their clients intended to appeal. Boyd said the case was an example of a situation where “the free exercise of

Kenneth Ortiz, the spokesman, said Monday it still appears unlikely. “Counties are still in the process [of] entering county questions, which are required to be placed on the ballot; and we are in the process of creating ballot mockups,” he said in an email. “Additionally, in several offices there still remain vacancies that were created after the primary filing date, and there also have been resignations. In some of those cases, retention election ballot space is affected, in others there will be contests and we don’t yet have the candidates’ names.” Ortiz said political parties are still in the process of nominating candidates for a number of those contests. “They have until Sept. 9 to do so. We are not likely to know what the final ballot will look like until that date,” Ortiz said. If the issue isn’t included on the November ballot, the city charter would require the City Council to put it on the ballot for either a special election or the next regular municipal election in 2016. The City Council will hold a public hearing on the issue Aug. 27. The council could adopt the initiative outright, eliminating the need for an election, though supporters say they want the matter to go before voters. The ballot initiative calls for making the penalty for possession of an ounce or less of marijuana and possession of marijuana-associated paraphernalia a civil infraction punishable by a fine of no more than $25. It also would make possession of small amounts of marijuana “a lowest law enforcement priority” for Santa Fe police.

Velarde accountant pleads PNM cost adjustment guilty to insurance scam pushes bills higher A 41-year-old Rio Arriba County accountant pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to six charges related to what prosecutors say was a scheme to defraud the federal and state unemployment insurance system. Jasonn Gonzales of Velarde, who was charged along with Gerald Archuleta, 43, of Ojo Caliente pleaded guilty to all charges and to entry of an $801,848 judgment against him, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. At sentencing, he faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison on a conspiracy charge and each of five mail fraud charges. Although Gonzales admitted he had a role in an effort to defraud the unemployment system of $1.3 million, a news release said, Archuleta has entered a not guilty plea to the March indictment. The indictment charged Velarde and Archuleta with conspiracy to defraud the federal and state unemployment insurance system in New Mexico, Texas and Colorado of money by filing false claims for benefits and registering numerous nonexistent companies. One count also charged Gonzales with aggravated identity theft.

The city of Santa Fe expects a fuel cost adjustment on Public Service Company of New Mexico electricity bills will cost city government about $250,000 over an 18-month period that started in July. Members of the City Council’s Finance Committee received a brief presentation on the fuel cost adjustment Monday, along with a recommendation that affected departments prepare a budget adjustment request for this fiscal year “and budget appropriately for the next fiscal year.” The fuel cost adjustment affects more than just City Hall. The average household saw an increase in monthly electricity bills of about $3 in July, PNM spokeswoman Susan Snyder Sponar said. PNM recognizes that customers need to have predictable bills, she said. “Going forward, the fuel charge will be adjusted quarterly instead of annually, making future changes much smaller,” she said in an email.

Expert Auto specializes in imported automobiles, but treat all cars that come in for service with expert care and attention to detail not found anywhere else. While Steve and Nancy Case met in Santa Fe roughly 27 years ago, Nancy never imagined becoming expert in auto repair and service. “That’s what happened, though,” she said. Steve moved to Santa Fe from California to strike out on his own and apply his mechanic skills working for himself. Nancy came to Santa Fe from Connecticut after falling in love with the City Different. They met, married and shortly after their wedding, opened Expert Auto. The rest, Nancy said, was history.

Gonzales, King attend union rally School: Cost $32M Continued from Page A-6

Politicians urge continuation of hospital contract talks By Patrick Malone

Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales attends a union rally outside Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center on Monday.

The New Mexican

During a union rally outside Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center on Monday, Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gary King called on hospital administrators to resume face-to-face negotiations with union nurses and medical technicians. Monday’s statement from Gonzales marked a departure from the neutral position he had previously maintained during the brewing labor feud between the city’s only general hospital and New Mexico District 1199 of the National Union of Nurses and Hospital Employees, which represents nearly 500 nurses and technicians at St. Vincent. While the mayor stopped short of throwing his support behind one side or the other, he told The New Mexican that he intends to put pressure on hospital administrators to resume face-to-face talks with the union. “I’m very frustrated there has been an unwillingness to bring the full [negotiating] teams to the table, and that needs to happen,” Gonzales said. “Right now it appears that it’s coming from the administration, and I plan on being on the phone with them first thing in the morning encouraging that they send their full team in and negotiate and hammer out an agreement.” Negotiating teams for the hospital and the union have not met in person since the three-year contract between them expired July 31. The union wants clear language in the contract establishing minimum staffing levels that are higher than the current norm, while the hospital’s leaders maintain that they are satisfied with patient results and say adding nurses would improve those outcomes. Chief Executive Officer Bruce Tassin sent a letter to all hospital employees

In brief Man sentenced in robbery case A judge on Monday sentenced Frankie L. Garduno, 36, of Hernandez, to 24 years in prison for a 2013 armed robbery. Court documents say Garduno used a gun when he tried to rob a couple at an Allsup’s store in Española in March 2013. A jury in July convicted him of seven felonies in connection to the case, including attempt to commit a felony, assault with intent to commit a violent felony, conspiracy, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felon in possession of a firearm and armed robbery. At Monday’s sentencing hearing, Assistant District Attorney Jason Lidyard enumerated other crimes that Garduno had been accused of or convicted of over the years, including attempting to rob two women outside the Dillard’s department store in Santa Fe and stealing $500 from his grandfather. Because of his repeat offender status, Garduno faced up to 61 years in the case, Lidyard said. But Judge Glen Ellington said Monday that if Garduno is able to secure all the good-time credit available to him, he could be out of prison in 16 years, about the same amount of time that Garduno

last week announcing that the hospital’s administration had invited union leaders to take part in “a small, but confidential conversation” between four members of each side. The union responded that it was willing to hold open negotiations with the full teams for both sides on hand, but the hospital rejected that offer. “We continue to entertain proposals facilitated by the mediator, and as far as we’re concerned, negotiations haven’t stopped, but we’re looking forward to the union’s next proposals,” hospital spokeswoman Mandi Kane said Monday. The union has made two offers to the hospital since the hospital’s last proposal. The most recent union proposal seeks to forgo 5 percent in incentive pay offered by the hospital for reaching goals, including improved patient satisfaction. In lieu of the extra pay, the union wants the hospital to increase staffing. King, the state attorney general, agreed with the mayor that hospital administrators should return to the negotiating table. Then King went one step further than the mayor, declaring that his allegiance has been with the union from the start. “I chose a side in this dispute a long time

ago,” he said. King toted a picket sign and said he would support legislation requiring hospitals in New Mexico to publicly report their nurse-to-patient ratios, an initiative for which incumbent Republican Gov. Susana Martinez struck funding with her veto pen. “A lot of taxpayer dollars support hospitals in New Mexico and support this hospital … so it’s important from our perspective in state government in where our money’s being spent,” King said. Martinez’s campaign called King’s remarks at the rally predictable kowtowing to labor interests. “Gary King will say and do anything union bosses ask, including serving as a prop at a protest, and his feel-good rhetoric is hollow and meaningless,” said Chris Sanchez, spokesman for Martinez’s campaign. King and Gonzales agreed that correspondence between the hospital and the union through a federal mediator is unlikely to settle the labor dispute. “They need to come with their full teams to the table. Both sides do,” Gonzales said. “That’s the only way we’re going to get an agreement.”

Traffic deaths up 20 percent in N.M. Traffic deaths in New Mexico have increased about 20 percent so far this year, the state Department of Transportation reported. From January through July, 204 people have died in traffic accidents. That’s up from 170 fatalities during the first seven months of last year, but down from 224 during the same period of 2012. Part of the increase this year stemmed from severe accidents in which multiple people died, department spokeswoman Melissa Dosher said Monday. Seven people died in a crash on Interstate 10 in southwestern New Mexico during a dust storm in May. The accident involved at least three tractortrailers and three passenger cars. The department said law enforcement agencies have launched a Labor Day holiday weekend crackdown that will target drunken drivers. Of this year’s traffic deaths, 86 were in accidents involving alcohol. That compares with 82 fatalities in alcohol-involved crashes during the first seven months of 2013, and 102 in 2012.

Music teacher Samuel Holmes’ room was ready with big drums for the kids to play as they got into the spirit of things on the first day. Holmes, who transferred to Nina Otero Community School from San Francisco, said, “One of the reasons I took this job was to help build a school from the ground up.” Many of the students seemed happy to be first in the school even if they weren’t happy it was the first day of school. “Everything is new,” said sixthgrader Mina Edwards. “We’re the first ones to sit in these seats.” Problems were minimal. Some students didn’t have the right paperwork, and one seventh-grade boy was sent to a classroom that was dark and empty. Meanwhile, an administrator’s key got stuck in a lock, a little girl scratched her knee on the playground and a mother of a kindergartner began to cry. Principal Jennifer Sallee said

the school has 72 employees, 42 of whom are teachers. Of the teachers, 22 are new to the district, and one comes from as far away as Korea. Sallee said she looked for several personality traits while hiring: “a reflective teacher, someone wanting to learn, a positive attitude.” The new school’s mascot is a mustang, and its colors are black and blue. The facility was named after the late educational advocate, suffragette and superintendent of county schools Nina Otero (1881-1965). The building cost about $32 million in 2009 and 2013 general obligation bond funds and is designed to ease overcrowding in other south-side elementary schools, including Ortiz Middle School, Sweeney Elementary School and César Chávez Community School. Sallee told one class she wants the school to be not just the best in the district, but the best in the state. Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 or rnott@sfnewmexican.com.

Keeping MVD connected Santa Fe company helps streamline Motor Vehicle Division interactions By Dennis Carroll For The New Mexican

aron Boyd, general manager of New Mexico Interactive, figures that one of the biggest contributions his company has made to the state Motor Vehicle Division is the creation of an online system that allows vehicle-related business to issue a variety of permits, eliminating the need for temporary handwritten vehicle tags and permits. Think new-vehicle registration tags from auto dealers, for example. Discussion of the system, known as the Vehicle Registration Suite, and other online government services created by New Mexico Interactive can go deep into the weeds of how a state agency provides public services, but Boyd says that simply put, VRS is a state-of-the art vehicle registration system that streamlines auto-related business interactions with the MVD. The MVD, a division of the Department of Taxation and Revenue, recently signed a new longterm contract with New Mexico Interactive to provide services. The two-year contract includes two one-year renewal options that could extend the contract through June 2018. The contract is funded by the businesses that use the service,

In brief New commercial real estate firm opens Western Horizons Commercial Real Estate has opened an office at 613 Old Santa Fe Trail. The newly formed company is a joint effort between Jyl DeHaven and Brant Goodman. DeHaven recently returned to her native New Mexico from Texas, where she was CEO of Energy and Resource Technology Hub of North Texas (EARTH NT) and Green Urban Development. Goodman, also a New Mexico native, was former COO of Kokopelli Property Management of Santa Fe for the past nine years. “Community collaboration, urban revitalization, energy efficiency and smart growth development projects are the hallmarks of Western Horizons. We look forward to developing relationships with local businesses and entrepreneurs, those seeking a full service real estate company that specializes in commercial brokerage, leasing, development, tenant representation, project management and consulting,” DeHaven said.

which avoids dipping into appropriated taxpayer funds. “The revenues we generate are dependent upon usage of our services rather than an up-front amount,” Boyd said. “It’s a zerodollar contract, so that the fees that are associated with the services we provide are passed to the users. … We are required to generate the business that funds our operation.” MVD spokesman S.U. Mahesh said the state’s share of the revenues New Mexico Interactive generates go toward the $48 million integration of various department websites, including driver records and licenses, and vehicle registration, which is expected to be completed in September 2016. The goal is to be able to access various kinds of records from one site. In 2013, the state received $7.2 million after New Mexico Interactive took its cut of $2.7 million, Mahesh said. The MVD and New Mexico Interactive have been partners since 2009. The Santa Fe-based company is a wholly owned subsidiary of NIC (NASDAQ: EGOV), formerly known as National Information Consortium, a Kansas-based provider of government websites, online services and secure payment processing systems in states across the country.

Since the first contract in 2009, New Mexico Interactive, with its staff of eight, has developed numerous websites, online services and mobile applications for the MVD, including the Vehicle Registration Suite, driver history records and driver monitoring. “Our goal is to draw citizens closer to their government and streamline interactions between citizens and government,” and aid communication among government agencies and businesses, Boyd said. MVD Director Mark Williams said in a statement that Boyd’s company dramatically improved “what the New Mexico motoring public experiences when they enter one of our offices or connect with us online.” Boyd landed in Santa Fe after stints with NIC in Arkansas, Colorado, and just prior to New Mexico, as a project manager in Tennessee. A major project completed by the company involves the computerization of the temporary vehicle registration tags issued by auto dealerships. “In the past when you bought a car, they would put a handwritten temporary tag on the vehicle,” Boyd said. “We have automated that process … so that it is electronic now.” He said a major advantage of the new system is that “previously when a police officer came upon a

vehicle with a temporary permit, they didn’t know anything about that vehicle.” Boyd said the 3-year-old system lets officers know who the owner is, whether it’s insured, “so they are informed before they approach the window of that vehicle in a way they have never been before.” Other innovations include electronic access to validate parking tags for the disabled, access for motorists to check on the status of driver’s license applications, an online system for citizens to schedule appointments at MVD offices, as well as systems to allow dealerships, auto recyclers and other authorized entities to determine whether a vehicle has been stolen or carries a tax lien. Boyd said the online system also has curbed the fraudulent practice of dealers who “hold titles hostage” to ensure payment — a practice wherein a shady auto retailer would give the buyer a temporary registration but never actually register the vehicle. Overall, he said, the goal of New Mexico Interactive is to maintain and improve citizen satisfaction with MVD services. “It’s OK if they get the credit when things go well.”

ood news often finds its way to the media faster than something no one wants to talk about — especially in an election year. That’s what happened Monday with the new employment numbers for July 2014 coming out early in the day, instead of on a Friday afternoon. Non-farm payrolls in New Mexico surged, with 4,300 positions added in the 12 months ending in July, according to the state Department of Workforce Solutions. That was enough to drop the unemployment rate to 6.6 percent, down from 7 percent in July 2013. “Gains in six industries offset losses in Bruce seven others, resulting Krasnow in net growth continu- Business Matters ing to remain stable following last month’s first push into a positive over-the-year rate in nine months,” the state Department of Workforce Solutions said in its monthly release Monday. The percentage gain in payrolls of 0.5 percent was enough to put New Mexico in the top six nationally for job growth from June to July 2014 — along with Montana, Arizona, Kentucky, Missouri and Utah, according to the national numbers compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is a huge difference from the past two years, when the state data reflected that job growth in New Mexico was last in the United States, a point emphasized by Democrat Gary King in his campaign to oust Gov. Susana Martinez. “More Layoffs in Albuquerque as NM Continues to Lag in Economic Growth,” stated a King press release last week. Some of the declines from the Monday report are still pretty ugly: New Mexico has lost higher-paying manufacturing for the past 21 months, and that sector declined by another 2,000 jobs over the 12-month period. That was offset by a surge in education and health care employment over the period, gaining 5,000 jobs. The mining sector increased 5.7 percent, up 1,500 jobs from a year ago, and other gains came in hospitality and the financial services industry. Still, one or two solid months does not make a trend, and I doubt the Republican administration will be running ads about the robust state economy. Overall, New Mexico still lags the rest of the U.S., and new numbers by New Mexico State University put the state 47th out of 50 for state job growth over the past year, according to economist Christopher Erickson. And the yearly job gains significantly lag behind those in neighboring states. The slowest growing industries over the past year were also the ones with higher pay, Erickson writes in his monthly Business Outlook report: manufacturing and construction. The fastest growing were mining, financial services, education and health care. Joy Forehand, deputy Cabinet secretary for the Department of Workforce Solutions, said most employment releases have come on Fridays, but that is not New Mexico’s choice as the release schedule is set for the year by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “We always release within a day of the BLS release of data, and the majority of the time, it is same day,” she said. “Most releases are on Fridays, but this BLS release happened to be on a Monday for this August 18th release. The department and the Economic Research & Analysis Bureau have always strived to provide accurate and timely information and work very hard to publish in alignment with U.S. Department of Labor.” uuu

The city of Santa Fe closed out Fiscal Year 2013-14 with 4.4 percent more in gross receipts tax revenue than a year earlier. The boost means $3.7 million more for city coffers, and that is an indication of a healthier local economy. The biggest increases were in two of the largest categories — construction receipts were up 9.3 percent and retail spending up 2.5 percent. But compared with the benchmark prerecession period that the city Department of Finance is using, fiscal year 2007-08, retail is down 7.6 percent and construction is down a whopping 32 percent. What sectors inside the city have surpassed prerecession levels? Start with arts and entertainment spending, up 15 percent; and food and accommodation, up 12 percent. But the biggest gainer is still a relatively small sector in Santa Fe; “information and cultural industries” went from $1.6 million in collections in 2007-08 to $3.75 million last year, up 130 percent.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Martinez turns down press group’s debate invitation, Aug. 11 I am not a Gov. Susana Martinez fan, but I don’t get the gripe. They are going to debate at least three times. Two already scheduled, one televised in the works. What is the beef? If Democrats believe that a single debate will turn the tide, forget about it. They could not have selected a worse candidate to tackle the incumbent. Gary King’s record is nonexistent in things that matter. Chalk this one up to the Republicans.” D.S. I remember the one thing I took away from Santa Fe before going into the military; showing up is half the battle. What do you have to hide? In the least, maybe the state could get an idea of what plans are in the future for us.” R.O. Gov. Martinez is declining most debates because she has no answers to mitigate the problems with this state. She won’t touch the water issue on any level, and her record as governor is poor, so she would have to answer questions as to how to clean up her own messes. She has failed this state, and we are now the most underperforming state in the union on every level. Gary King is not my ﬁrst choice, but he is the only option to get this state turned around and back on track.” C.M.

I think people would feel very differently about this if the investigative report about the reasons for his firing were not being kept secret. It may be that the criticism is unfair and the rehiring makes sense. The bottom line is we can’t know whether there’s a problem unless we can read the report.” N.U. About the simplest way to explain the situation at the police department is that you have to understand that ‘birds of a feather stick together and no one will rat on another unless his space is being invaded.’ What a great time for Mayor Javier Gonzales to fulfill his campaign promise about transparency at City Hall — unless it’s not to his benefit. How much of this crap at City Hall will the citizens of Santa Fe take?” J.B. [Lt. Jason] Wagner has proven himself to be of low character.

Tough choices needed for state to take off

t’s official. Tesla has broken ground at its new “gigafactory” near Reno, Nev. While New Mexico appears to have missed out on Tesla and its expected 6,500 jobs, some legislators, when asked, still seem willing to spend as much as $500 million in tax dollars to lure the company to the state. While details are by no means firm, it appears that Tesla is looking for an infusion of $500 million, not tax breaks of $500 million. The difference between the two is that tax breaks don’t actually “cost” the state/taxpayers anything because Tesla would have to locate in New Mexico for any tax revenue to result from its activities. When it comes to outright spending of New Mexicans’ tax dollars, those are dollars that come directly out of the pockets of average New Mexicans and the businesses already located here. This important nuance explains why we at the Rio Grande Foundation oppose payments made to the film industry. According to a new legislative report, the state paid out $251 million in incentives to the film industry with $103.6 million in state and local tax dollars generated over the same basic time period. In simple mathematical terms, the state spent $147 million more than it generated from the film industry in recent years. That’s called a “loss” in any other industry. Jobs were created, but the net loss really illustrates the inherent problems with the program. The same reasoning explains why fiscal conservatives should not support outright spending of $500 million to bring in Tesla.

Tax breaks are one thing, but if the company goes under, there are no “clawbacks” that will get $500 million in outright spending back. Long-term, generous subsidies and tax exemptions are not the Paul J. answer for New Mexico’s Gessing economy. In fact, it is no surprise that the company broke ground in Nevada, which, aside from proximity to the company’s factory, is a state with a right-towork law and zero income tax. Recently, site selection expert John Boyd was interviewed about New Mexico’s chances of attracting Tesla. His comments were enlightening. He said manufacturing companies look for reasons to scratch off states when considering where to build major facilities — and no right-to-work law is at the top of the list. Boyd again reiterated the need for right to work, stating, “I can’t underscore how critical right-to-work status is.” “Right to work” is not “anti-union.” It simply states that union membership must be optional and not a condition of employment. Changing right to work must be at the core of efforts to turn New Mexico around. Taxes are a second area in dire need of reform. As economist Steven Moore has illustrated in study after study, having zero income tax means both stronger economic growth and faster population growth than the national average and the states with

the highest rates on personal income. It all goes back to the adage that if you want more of something, tax it less; if you want less of something, tax it more. Liberals clearly understood this when taxes were raised in a successful effort to reduce tobacco consumption, but they seem not to believe that workers will choose to go where they can keep more of their hard-earned money. Despite the state’s challenging economy, New Mexico has made some progress in recent years in gradually reducing taxes on productive activity (former Gov. Bill Richardson reduced the top income tax rate from 8.2 percent to 4.9 percent, and Gov. Susana Martinez has made New Mexico a “single sales factor” state, reduced taxes on manufacturing inputs and is phasing down New Mexico’s corporate income tax). Unfortunately, decades of reliance on the federal government and a businessunfriendly gross receipts tax, an underperforming educational system and poor regulatory environment mean that the transition away from government reliance and toward prosperity will require greater cooperation and even bigger reforms.

Economic ignorance is holding us back W

hen the housing bubble burst in 2007, Americans lost $8 trillion in housing wealth overnight. Families slashed their spending because they suddenly felt poor. Most of their savings, after all, were in the value of their homes. This massive cut in spending sent our economy into a tailspin, because one person’s spending is another person’s income. Businesses laid off workers and stopped investing — who is going to keep all the waiters, much less add seats, at a restaurant that is suddenly half-empty? That caused both waiters and construction workers to lose their jobs, and we had a nasty downward spiral. It has been more than six years, and we finally have the same number of jobs we had in 2008 — but in the meantime, our population has grown, so we still have high unemployment. All this time, millions of people have been out of work, and many others have been forced to work part time. The social effects have been devastating. According to the American Psychological Association, people who have lost their jobs are twice as likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Children of the unemployed have been hit hard — they have trouble concentrating in school, poorer nutrition, lower college access and lower future earnings. There’s even an increased risk of suicide. The magnitude of this tragedy has been completely unnecessary. We have known since the 1930s what causes recessions and how to cure them: They are caused by a plunge in personal, business and/or government spending, and they can be cured quickly by the government pumping money into the economy with big, temporary increases in government spending. The collapse of personal spending that followed the 1929 stock market crash caused the Great Depression, just like the housing crash caused this terrible recession. In both cases, people and businesses

started saving their money, not spending it, and that deprived others of their incomes. British economist John Maynard Keynes was the first to realize that the government could borrow this excess saving and spend it in the economy, making up for the private spending that had disappeared. That would start the cycle heading up again. New Deal spending on dams and bridges and the Civilian Conservation Corps, which employed young men in New Mexico, made a lot of difference. Then along came World War II, and Congress started borrowing a lot of money and spending it to defeat the enemy. Suddenly everyone had a job or was in the military. This was big-time economic stimulus, and it did the trick. No one wants a war to revive the economy. But experience proves that sufficient government spending on things like roads and bridges or education can create jobs and start a country back to recovery. The resulting increase in deficits and the national debt can be handled when the economy is strong again. This is exactly what happened after World War II. Why haven’t we done this? Why have we cut government spending since 2009 — exactly the wrong thing to do in a recession? Partly, it’s because we have allowed premature worries about the national debt 20 years from now displace intelligent economic policy today. Pure politics also has a lot to do with it: Conservatives can’t believe that government can ever be the solution. But popular confusion about economics has hurt, too. A family shouldn’t take on more debt during bad times. Yet that is exactly what a government should do. The failure to understand this difference has helped cause enormous and unnecessary human suffering. Nick Estes writes from Albuquerque, where he is a retired lawyer and activist.

As for your question, the Mexican refers you to the late New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael, who famously quipped, “The words ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,’ which I saw on an Italian movie poster, are perhaps the briefest statement imaginable of the basic appeal of movies.” Nowhere is that nugget more applicable than with Mexicans. Mix gore, boobs, popcorn and the occasional midget or gay guy, and you can occupy a Mexican for two hours. See, violence and Mexican cinema go together like refried and beans — it’s been one prolonged shootout that started with the 1919 silent classic El Automovil Gris (The Grey Automobile, which dramatized the real-life exploits of Mexico City’s murderous Grey Automobile Gang and included actual footage of their execution), continued through the urban dramas of the 1950s and various 1960s sci-fi/ Aztec mummy/lucha libre superhero follies, and reached its zenith with narcopelículas (drug dramas) that Spanish-language television channels have broadcast without pause for the past three decades. The Mexican love for filmic blood isn’t a pathological cultural trait, though: As any Hollywood executive will tell you, violence is a universal tongue that needs no subtitles. That’s why Mexican parents take their kiddies to see such films — as the children become Americans and the parents remain stuck in remedial English classes, sometimes the only way to communicate is to speak the language of Charles Bronson. And the kid behind you? Just practicing his Death Wish moves so he can kick your ass. Dear Mexican: Why do you people stink? Zestfully White Dear Gabacho: Same reason you don’t: hard work.

Frustration boils over in Ferguson

he response to the killing of the unarmed teenager Michael Brown — whom his family called the “gentle giant” — by the Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson — who was described by his police chief as “a gentle, quiet man” and “a gentleman” — has been anything but genteel. There have been passionate but peaceful protests to be sure, but there has also been some violence and looting. Police forces in the town responded with an outlandish military-like presence more befitting Baghdad than suburban Missouri. There were armored vehicles, flash grenades and a seemingly endless supply of tear gas — much of it Pentagon trickle-down. There were even officers perched atop vehicles, in camouflage and body armor, pointing weapons in the direction of peaceful protesters. Let me be clear here: Pointing a gun at an innocent person is an act of violence and provocation. Americans were aghast at the images, and condemnation was swift and bipartisan. The governor put the state highway patrol in charge of security. Tensions seemed to subside, for a day. But then on Friday, when releasing the name of the officer who did the shooting, the police chief also released details and images of a robbery purporting to show Brown stealing cigars from a local convenience store and pushing a store employee in the process. The implication seemed to be that Wilson was looking for the person who committed the convenience store crime when he encountered Brown. But, later in the day, the chief said Wilson didn’t know Brown was a robbery suspect when they encountered each other. Something seemed off. The police chief’s decision to release the details of the robbery and the images — without releasing an image of Wilson — struck many as perfidious. In a strongly worded

Fight for equality is never-ending

S statement, Brown’s family and attorneys accused the chief of attempting to assassinate the character of the dead teen. Some also deemed it an attempt at distraction from the central issue: An officer shot an unarmed teenager who witnesses claim had raised his hands in surrender when at least some of the shots were fired, which the family and its attorneys called “a brutal assassination of his person in broad daylight.” The Justice Department is even investigating whether Brown’s civil rights were violated. This would include the excessive use of force. As the department makes clear, this “does not require that any racial, religious or other discriminatory motive existed.” It’s impossible to truly know the chief’s motives for his decision to release the robbery information at the same time as the officer’s name, but the effect was clear: That night, a fragile peace was shattered. There was more looting, although peaceful protesters struggled heroically to block the violent ones. On Saturday, the governor

issued a midnight curfew for the town. A small band of protesters defied it and some were arrested. The community is struggling to find its way back to normalcy, but it would behoove us to dig a bit deeper into the underlying frustrations that cause a place like Ferguson to erupt in the first place and explore the untenable nature of our normal. Yes, there are the disturbingly repetitive and eerily similar circumstances of many cases of unarmed black people being killed by police officers. This reinforces black people’s beliefs — supportable by actual data — that blacks are treated less fairly by the police. But I submit that this is bigger than that. The frustration we see in Ferguson is about not only the present act of perceived injustice but also the calcifying system of inequity — economic, educational, judicial — drawn largely along racial lines. In 1951, Langston Hughes began his poem “Harlem” with a question: “What happens to a dream deferred?” Today, I must ask: What hap-

pens when one desists from dreaming, when the very exercise feels futile? The discussion about issues in the black community too often revolves around a false choice: systemic racial bias or poor personal choices. In fact, these factors are interwoven like the fingers of clasped hands. People make choices within the context of their circumstances and those circumstances are affected — sometimes severely — by bias. These biases do material damage as well as help breed a sense of disenfranchisement and despair, which in turn can have a depressive effect on aspiration and motivation. This all feeds back on itself. If we want to truly address the root of the unrest in Ferguson, we have to ask ourselves how we can break this cycle. Otherwise, Hughes’ last words of “Harlem,” referring to the dream deferred, will continue to be prophetic: “Does it explode?” Charles M. Blow is The New York Times visual Op-Ed columnist.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Recycling needs a rethink, not reduction

he article (“Report calls for costly changes in recycling and trash services,” Aug. 3) was confusing. It implies more recycling, but in reality , means less. Plastic and tin will be picked up curbside by expensive, one-armed trucks, but there is no mention of cardboard and newspapers. Please note that two people per truck in the current system would lose their jobs. People are expected to haul their glass to a drop-off facility. This may mean less glass recycling. It is easier to toss glass than to store it until one has time to drive it somewhere — and where that will be is the question. It would need to be centrally located, or people would not use the gas to get there. Why would I choose to recycle less and see my bill go up 33.5 percent? The recommendations do not seem like a good idea to me. Ginny Hogan

cent is not even staffed at the 40th percentile as compared to similar hospitals. The union is rightly asking for minimum staffing at a 50th percentile level of similar hospitals’ 50th percentile. That still would mean that 50 percent of all similar hospitals are better staffed than is Christus St. Vincent. If Christus St. Vincent’s standard of care is to strive for staffing at 40 percent or lower, Santa Fe County does not need to contribute money to such a poor standard of care; i.e., a poorly run hospital. Santa Fe deserves better. The hospital fools none of us by running these untruthful ads. Union, stand your ground, for those who cannot — the sick, the poor and the elderly. Evangeline Pacheco

Santa Fe Editor’s Note: In a Sunday letter (“Speak out,” Aug. 17), a reference was made to an upcoming hearing regarding the proposed addition of a 20-hour-a-week work requirement for some recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The hearing venue has changed to accommodate more attendees. The public hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Aug. 29 at the Harold Runnels Building Auditorium, 1190 St. Francis Drive.

upreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s descriptions of the struggle women faced in seeking equality were spoken in a soft, hushed tone of voice. Yet every word was audible as the 81-year-old justice relayed stories forged on the front lines of the struggle for equality. She was addressing a packed audience of some 350 people at last week’s Women’s International Study Center symposium at the Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe. Ginsburg, who managed to be a brilliant academic, litigant, wife, mother and judge before being appointed justice to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton, was recalling incidents that are important to remember despite strides that women have made. She went to work when other mothers in her child’s class stayed at home. So fast was women’s progress in the workplace that by her second child, Ginsburg no longer was the only working mom. Ginsburg was there as both participant and witness to sweeping social change. She was around when women weren’t allowed on juries. She was in the thick of the fight for women to win reproductive rights and to be considered equal citizens. Yet, as a law student, she didn’t dream of becoming a Supreme Court justice. She just wanted “a job, any job.” And today, she wants young women to remember the fight — because, as is so true, those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it. Hard-won rights can be removed, one by one. The conversation, conducted by Roberta Cooper Ramo, an Albuquerque attorney and the first female American Bar Association president, showed that Ginsburg possesses a steel-trap memory and a wonderfully witty way with words. Her points about how people of different political philosophies can still get along should be required listening (the event was taped) for both President Barack Obama and members of Congress. Seeing an opponent or political enemy as a human being, and respecting him or her, is essential. The justices shake hands and look each other in the eye before getting to work, she said. They bring in musicians so they can share in activities (Susan Graham of The Santa Fe Opera and worldwide fame has sung for them, and Yo-Yo Ma just played his cello for the court). Despite disagreements, the justices are united in the belief that the work must come first and what’s more, that their conduct must not bring disrespect to the institution of the court. That’s a model the rest of our dysfunctional government would do well to adopt. A frequent visitor to Santa Fe, Justice Ginsburg comes in the summer to attend The Santa Fe Opera and visit with friends. Ginsburg often attends Indian Market as well and enjoys family time. In fact, if it were not unseemly to quote a sitting Supreme Court justice in a tourism ad, the comment Ginsburg gave about why she returns to New Mexico year after year, is pure gold. She comes for the opera, yes, and loves it, but once she returns to Washington, D.C., Ginsburg said she would miss the sky the most. For an organization that is but a year old (and in a hotel that just opened last month), the Women’s International Study Center event — Risk and Reinvention: How Women Are Changing the World — marked a grand coming out. That Ginsburg was here in Santa Fe, speaking to a rapt audience about the changing America, is just more evidence that Santa Fe has so much to offer. The justice’s words are a timely reminder that smart women don’t take progress for granted. Sometimes, maintaining the status quo — even access to birth control — takes a fight.

hen the anti-drug educator Tim Ryan talks to students, he often asks them what they know about marijuana. “It’s a plant,” is a common response. But more recently, the answer has changed. Now they reply, “It’s legal in Colorado.” These are confusing times for middle and high school students, who for most of their young lives have been lectured about the perils of substance abuse, particularly marijuana. Now it seems that the adults in their lives have done an about-face. Recreational marijuana is legal in Colorado and in Washington state, and many other states have approved it for medical use. Lawmakers, the news media and even parents are debating the merits of fullscale legalization. “They are growing up in a generation where marijuana used to be bad, and maybe now it’s not bad,” said Ryan, a senior prevention specialist with FCD Educational Services, an anti-drug group that works with students in the classroom. “Their parents are telling them not to do it, but they may be supporting legalization of it at the same time.” Anti-drug advocates say efforts to legalize marijuana

have created new challenges as they work to educate teenagers and their parents about the unique risks that alcohol, marijuana and other drugs pose to the developing teenage brain. These educators say their goal is not to vilify marijuana or take a stand on legalization; instead, they say their role is to convince young people and their parents that the use of drugs is not just a moral or legal issue, but a significant health issue. “The health risks are real,” said Steve Pasierb, chief executive of the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. “Every passing year, science unearths more health risks about why any form of substance use is unhealthy for young people.” Nearly half of teenagers — 44 percent — have tried marijuana at least once, according to data from the partnership. Regular use is less common. One in four teenagers report using marijuana in the past month, and 7 percent report frequent use — at least 20 times in the past month. Drug prevention experts say the “Just Say No” approach of the 1980s does not work. The goal of parents should not be to prevent their kids from ever trying marijuana. Instead, the focus should be on practical reasons to delay use of any mind-altering substance, including alcohol, until they are older.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton will headline a high-profile fundraiser next month in the nation’s first presidential caucus state of Iowa, creating a big campaign splash as Democrats scramble to hold a key Senate seat in November and the former secretary of state considers a campaign of her own in 2016. Former President Bill Clinton and Mrs. Clinton will attend retiring Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry in Indianola on Sept. 14, Iowa Democrats said Monday. It will be the former first lady’s first appearance in Iowa since 2008 when she finished a disappointing third in the state’s presidential caucuses. Clinton has urged Democrats to mobilize for November’s midterm elections and

party officials said she would likely appear at other events around the country to help the party’s major fundraising committees. And Harkin’s steak fry, an event that draws thousands of grassroots activists each year, and future presidential campaign staff and volunteers, could be among the biggest, potentially serving as the unofficial start of Clinton’s second presidential bid. Early polls show her as the leading candidate to succeed President Barack Obama. Clinton is “looking forward to campaigning for her Democratic colleagues and to helping the effort to move America forward,” her spokesman Nick Merrill said, adding that she’d “help raise money for important races in Iowa.” The Associated Press

Around here, he’s Mike Krzyzewski, Army class of 1969. Krzyzewski returned to his alma mater Monday with the U.S. national team, which toured the campus, ate lunch with cadets in the mess hall and held an open practice for military personnel and families. The basketball was limited on

a day Krzyzewski spent more time addressing the crowd than his players during practice. But even with the Basketball World Cup opener just 12 days away, he thought the trip benefited his team no matter how much work the players did. “To spend a day here is better than any offensive or defensive drill you could have,” Krzyzewski said. “It bonds the team together and that’s what today was about.” The team traveled about 90 minutes by bus Monday morning from New York to the upstate campus where Krzyzewski played

Tough night for Johnny Rookie quarterback Manziel struggles in Browns’ loss to Redskins

Ballmer debuts as L.A. Clippers owner By Beth Harris The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Sweating, clapping and shouting until he was nearly hoarse, Steve Ballmer introduced himself to Los Angeles Clippers fans at a rally Monday celebrating his new ownership of the NBA team. The former Microsoft CEO made his way through the crowd inside Staples Center to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” exchanging high-fives and chest-bumping as he took the stage in front of 4,500 fans. Ballmer paid a record $2 billion for the team in a sale that was confirmed by a judge last week. The name of disgraced former owner Donald Sterling, who controlled the team for 33 years before being banned for life by the NBA for racist remarks, was never uttered during the rally. “We’re looking forward,” Ballmer proclaimed, having removed his blue Clippers hat. “Everything is about looking forward.” Ballmer’s fervor was in stark contrast to Sterling, who never spoke to the media and was famously frugal when it came to spending on the team during decades of losing — despite having amassed a fortune

By Joseph White The Associated Press

LANDOVER, Md. ohnny Manziel raised his middle finger toward the Washington Redskins bench as he returned to the huddle late in the third quarter. It was one of the few times a Cleveland Browns quarterback actually found his intended target. Manziel’s latest hand gesture was one of many lowlights for the Browns in a 24-23 Monday night loss that did little to make coach Mike Pettine’s decision any easier when it comes to selecting a Week 1 starter. If the choice is based solely on numbers, there’s

not much either Manziel or Brian Hoyer did to show he deserves the job. If it’s based on composure, the hot-shot rookie’s obscene gesture lost him some ground to the nondescript sixth-year veteran. “It does not sit well,” Pettine said. “It’s disappointing, because what we talk about is being poised and being focused. … That’s a big part of all football players, especially the quarterback.” Manziel called the moment a “lapse of judg-

ment.” Teammate Joe Haden said opposition fans and players were giving “Johnny Football” plenty of unprintable verbal grief for the second straight week. Manziel was openly mocked by Brian Orakpo when the Redskins linebacker raised both hands and performed the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner’s “money” gesture after a sack by Ryan Kerrigan in the first quarter. “I get words exchanged throughout the entirety of the game, every game, week after week, and I should’ve been smarter,” Manziel said. “It was a ‘Monday Night Football’ game and cameras were probably solid on me, and I just need to be smarter about that. … It’s there, and it’s present every game,

Houston stadium considers holding additional sale The Associated Press

HOUSTON — A Texas-based sports corporation says it’s considering selling more original stadium seats from the Houston Astrodome. The Harris County Sports and Convention Corp. made $1.5 million from a yard sale and two online auctions, the Houston Chronicle reported. Almost 7,000 pairs of the red, orange, blue and yellow dome seats were purchased. Other sports memorabilia, such as autographed dugout benches, lockers, turnstiles, swatches of turf and employee uniforms, were also sold. Mark Miller, general manager of NRG Park, said about 4,000 pairs of sellable seats remain. They’re being stored in the stadium’s basement. Kevin Hoffman, deputy executive director of the Harris County Sports and Convention Corp., said the sports corporation is considering holding at least one more sale. That means Megan Ross, 30, of Kemah may get the chance to purchase another set of seats from the world’s first domed sports stadium. She said

she initially thought one set would be enough when she attended the yard sale, but she wants one more because “they were only $200.” Megan said her house guests enjoy sitting in the

pair of blue seats that are located in her breakfast nook. “Everyone wants to sit in them,” Ross said. “They’re awesomely comfortable still.” She also picked up a piece of the old scoreboard and various-sized swatches of turf at the Astros yard sale. “Everything that we got is hugely sentimental to me,” Ross said. “I know most people who aren’t from Houston might think it’s junk, but I don’t care.” Hoffman said most of the funds from last year’s sales will be used to clean up a construction site and to maintain the dome. The future of the 49-year-old Astrodome is still unclear, but it’s being considered for protected landmark status or redevelopment. When it opened it 1965, was hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World. The stadium has been closed since 2009, when city inspectors reported it was unfit for occupancy.

COMMENTARY NASCAR

Grief gives no timetable on Stewart’s race return By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. here are hundreds of guidebooks on how to handle grief, how to navigate the emotional suffering that follows a significant loss. None of those studies offer a clean timetable on when the roller coaster of emotion will come to a stop. So there is no timetable on when Tony Stewart will get back into a race car. The three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart has skipped two races since his car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 sprint car race. His StewartHaas Racing team will not pressure him to return, and wins and trophies and a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship have all been put into perspective in a sport in which the show always goes on. “The Chase is of the lowest priority as it relates to Tony right now,”

Grief: Stewart in seclusion since Kevin Ward’s death Continued from Page B-1 said Brett Frood, executive vice president at SHR. “Right now it’s about getting Tony in a better place than he is. When he’s ready to do that, he’ll get back in the car.” Stewart has been in seclusion since Ward’s death, his whereabouts undisclosed. He’s been described as heartbroken, devastated for Ward’s family and overcome by the outpouring of behindthe-scenes support he’s received from the NASCAR community. But very few people have spoken to Stewart, who seems to be grieving away from many he’s close to at the track. Kevin Harvick, his longtime friend and teammate, said Sunday he’s not spoken to Stewart. Nor had Rick

Hendrick, one of the most steadying voices in NASCAR and a mentor to many, including Stewart. Dr. Joseph R. Ferrari, a social psychologist at DePaul University, said Stewart could be acting on the advice of legal counsel, or simply struggling through a tricky emotional process. “Does he feel guilt or shame? I think that’s what is going on,” Ferrari said. “There’s a difference between shame and guilt and people often confuse this. With guilt, you’ve done some moral offense, you’ve done something to really offend somebody, and you say ‘I’ve done something wrong.’ “Shame-prone people, they will begin to devalue themselves and begin to examine their character, wonder, ‘What a terrible person I am.’ It could be so bad, so demoralizing, that he just isn’t ready to come back.”

Dr. Charles Figley, a psychologist at Tulane University, believes Stewart is likely suffering symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. But he believed taking time away from racing is helping Stewart heal, and likened Stewart’s situation to that of war medics who seek isolation while struggling with combat. “Everybody needs to be able to focus inward — if you go back to work, it’s almost like nothing has happened and you are hoping people will forget,” Figley said. “He is taking this seriously. Staying away indicates this is a very serious thing that causes him to reflect to the very core.” Nobody in the NASCAR community doubts Stewart is suffering. You could walk from one end of the garage to the other listening to stories of Stewart’s generosity and willingness

to help in an emergency. He’s gifted cash to a crew member who had an unexpected and urgent need, sent his plane to pick up family members of a stricken employee, scrambled to get someone home in time for the birth of a child. When someone in NASCAR needs an immediate favor, they go to Stewart, who always says yes. Stewart won the Nationwide Series race at Daytona in 2013 when a last-lap crash sent Kyle Larson’s car into the fence and the debris shower injured dozens of fans. He had an appropriate and muted reaction in Victory Lane: “The important thing is what’s going on on the frontstretch right now,” he said upon climbing from his car. “This is a dangerous sport. We assume that risk, and it’s hard when the fans get caught up in it.”

Two days later, after finishing 41st in the Daytona 500, he visited all the fans still hospitalized from the crash. Many said Stewart cried with them. Stewart, like the late Dale Earnhardt, doesn’t talk about his softer side. He never spoke publicly about that hospital visit in Daytona, or the firesuits and helmets he’s given to sprint car racers, or the money he’s doled out to struggling drivers in need of a break. But those who know him and have seen his compassion talk of that Stewart, not the helmet-throwing grizzly bear who also has a storied history of sparring with reporters. “Everybody in this garage knows Tony. Tony doesn’t beat his chest and talk about the things he does for people. We know it, we see it, but nobody else does,” said Jeff Burton, who replaced Stewart on Sunday. “Earnhardt was like that. Earnhardt didn’t want anybody to know the things he did for people.

NCAA’s strongest argument: Cap limit Association appealing Ed O’Bannon ruling, planning an attack on financial limits By Michael Marot The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA’s best argument against the Ed O’Bannon ruling may be the financial limits imposed by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken — the same ones the NCAA lauded in her decision. Less than two weeks after the court decision opened the door for college athletes to receive a small portion of the millions of dollars they help generate, several attorneys told The Associated Press they believe the NCAA should now attack that cap. Wilken ruled Aug. 8 that the NCAA violated antitrust law by restricting schools from providing money beyond current scholarship limits to athletes. She said schools should be allowed to put up to $5,000 per year of competition into a trust fund for football players and men’s basketball players, money that could be collected once they are finished with school. Legal experts question how she reached that number and wonder whether it will hold up on appeal. “The cap is inconsistent with a judicial decision that the restraint [of trade] is unreasonable,” said Robert McTamaney, an antitrust lawyer with the firm of Carter, Ledyard & Milburn. “If the restraint is unreasonable out it goes, there’s no

partial remedy under the Sherman Act and, frankly, judges aren’t supposed to construct one. Either it’s good or it’s Mark not.” Emmert Within an hour of the ruling, NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy issued a statement noting that the governing body disagreed with the ruling but supported the cap. The NCAA, which faces a Wednesday deadline to appeal the decision, declined to comment Monday. Wilken said she set the $5,000 annual threshold to balance the NCAA’s fears about huge payments to players. “The number is immaterial, it’s the concept,” said Jim Ryan, an attorney at Cullen and Dykman. “It does seem rather arbitrary. Why isn’t it $3,000 or $10,000? She pulled the $5,000 somewhat out of the air, so it could be $3,000, it could be $10,000, what’s a few thousand?” In October 2011, the NCAA Board of Directors approved a $2,000 annual stipend for athletes, legislation that was shelved when more than 125 schools signed on to an override measure. The five richest conferences are attempting to bring back the

stipend now that they have been given autonomy over some of the trickiest issues in college sports. McTamaney believes if the stipend were already in place and Wilken applied the same logic to the O’Bannon case, the NCAA might have already won in court. Instead, the NCAA is headed back to a playing field where it has traditionally been successful. According to a study released last month by Illinois professor Michael LeRoy, athletes suing the NCAA won 49 percent of the initial cases but the NCAA won 71 percent of the appeal in the second and third rounds. This time, the governing body’s lawyers face a vastly different obstacle. The appeal, promised by NCAA President Mark Emmert, will be heard by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court, a venue that has a reputation for siding with labor. Remy has repeatedly said the NCAA will take this case to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. If the ruling stands, some worry it could ruin non-revenue sports and others believe the NCAA could face additional litigation from female athletes who could argue they are not being compensated equally in violation of Title IX laws. Still, NCAA critics contend Wilken’s decision didn’t go far enough in compensating players for the merchandise and video games that have pro-

duced millions in revenue for the NCAA and its members but not for the athletes themselves. Joseph Farelli, an attorney with Pitta & Giblin who specializes in labor law, argues there should be no cap at all. He’s not alone. “I think how the court framed its injunction, exposed itself to some vulnerability,” said Jeffrey Shinder, managing partner of Constantine Cannon and a self-described NCAA critic who declined to go into specifics because he didn’t want to give the NCAA any advice. Even NCAA supporters understand the rationale that if antitrust laws were broken, the players’ options should not be limited. But they’re urging the NCAA attorneys to question Wilken’s reasoning in setting the cap and continue to argue that college sports will be damaged if players are paid. “I think the key to this case is whether these restraints are reasonable or not. I personally think that they are,” McTamaney said. “If the athletes turn out to be compensated for their performances, the fan perception and alumni perception, I think, would be dramatically different. I think their support of the schools would decline significantly. And all of that sort of comes full circle, because if the restraints are substantial to keeping the fiction of the student-athlete, then they are reasonable.”

Continued from Page B-1 through real estate. “Today is about this other guy who just happened to have two billion dollars in his pocket,” coach Doc Rivers joked on stage. “I asked him are you sure it went through and he said, ‘I know my bank account is minus two billion so I know something went through.’ ” Ballmer gave out his email address during the televised rally and was quick to assure fans he won’t move the team to Seattle, where he’s lived for 34 years. He was nearly an NBA owner last year before league owners chose to keep the Kings in Sacramento, rather than allow them to be sold to a group that included Ballmer and moved to Seattle. “I love Los Angeles,” he said. “Yes, I live in Seattle. We’re not moving the Clippers to Seattle for a hundred reasons.” Ballmer used a microphone, but his booming voice easily filled the arena without it. He prowled the stage and gestured to make his points in the enthusiastic style he was known for among Microsoft employees. “We’re going to be bold. Bold means taking chances,” he said. “We’re going to be optimistic. We’re going to be hardcore. Nothing gets in our way, boom! The hardcore Clippers, that’s us.” Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan were among eight players on hand, along with Rivers, who guided the Clippers to 57 wins last season, his first with the team. “When he came through the crowd, I literally had goose bumps,” Griffin said afterward. “I don’t know if there’s one good word to describe him. I know all our guys are excited about the energy he brings. It’s completely different.” Ballmer took a few emailed questions from season ticketholders, including a 26-year fan who asked how the next 26 years of the franchise would be different.

“I’ll boldly say the Clippers will win many, many more Larrys in the next 26 years than they did in the last 26,” he said, referring to the Larry O’Brien trophy that goes to the NBA champion. Rivers clearly got a kick out of Ballmer’s passionate display, cracking up at his new boss’ proclamations after having previously seen him only on YouTube. “I love energy,” Rivers said later. “You get caught up in that and that’s good. That was great for our fans.” Interim CEO Dick Parsons testified during the court battle over the team’s sale that Rivers would quit if Sterling was the owner going into next season. “Sometimes you do have to take a stand,” Rivers said. “I didn’t think I was going to have to [quit], but a lot of us were willing to for sure.”

He added, “You always have to move on. I have.” Ballmer gave the title “owner emeritus” to Sterling’s estranged wife, Shelly, who negotiated the deal. She will receive two floor seats, 10 other seats and parking at Staples Center for games. “Without her this deal does not get done,” Rivers said afterward. “She wants to be a fan. She’s no longer the owner. I’m fine with that.” Ballmer shared dinner with Rivers and some of the players a night earlier, when the discussion focused on where he’ll sit during games. Sterling sat at mid-court within earshot of the players. When someone suggested behind the Clippers’ bench, like Dallas owner Mark Cuban does, Rivers said, “I don’t know if I could deal with that energy.”

USA: Team prioritizes military relationship Continued from Page B-1 under Bob Knight and later returned to coach the Black Knights. He gets back here at least once a year for a ceremony where an award named in his honor is given, but it’s hard to imagine he’s ever more popular on campus than he was Monday, when he received a loud ovation in the mess hall and was cheered louder than any of the 16 NBA players on the roster before practice. “To come and see, one, how much people love him here — his picture on the wall, they have an award named after him — I don’t know if this is the exact gym he played in, but just to kind of live his life for a day was pretty awesome,” All-Star

guard Stephen Curry said. USA Basketball has prioritized its relationship with the military and the Hoops for Troops program under managing director Jerry Colangelo and Krzyzewski, visiting Arlington National Cemetery and hosting an open practice at a Washington armory with the 2012 Olympic team. This time, players watched cadets perform an indoor obstacle test and train in the combat pool survival swim lab, then visited a wall honoring Krzyzewski and the award that’s given for “teaching character through sport.” “Don’t make jokes,” he said as players pulled out their phones and snapped photos of the wall, which featured a nearly half-century old picture

of Krzyzewski from his academy days. The Americans also visited the West Point Cemetery and posed for a team picture on the steps of the mess hall, creating a bit of commotion as some cadets stopped to take pictures before being ordered to get back in formation. Fans attending the practice didn’t get to see Derrick Rose play, as the Chicago Bulls point guard was given a planned day off as he works his way back into shape after missing nearly two full seasons with knee injuries. But the biggest star probably would’ve been Krzyzewski anyway. He spoke frequently to the crowd, introducing a couple of former teammates and one of his former players who were

in the stands. At one point, he even led a “USA! USA!” chant. It was clear Krzyzewski, who got married at West Point on his graduation day and said he still wears his school ring, enjoyed being back at what he called the “best leadership school in the world.” “You walk around this place and you just feel, you feel good about being an American, and you feel a little bit more proud of being a USA basketball player or coach,” he said, “and that’s what we wanted our guys to get today.” It seems they did. “For sure, it was a special, special day,” Curry said. “I won’t ever forget my first time to West Point. This was definitely worth the trip.”

The Associated Press

BOSTON — Mike Trout and Albert Pujols hit consecutive RBI doubles, and the Los Angeles Angels Angels 4 extended their AL Red Sox 2 West lead with a 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. It was the fifth win in six games for the Angels, who moved a half-game ahead of idle Oakland. David Ortiz reached base four times with a double, single and two walks for the Red Sox, who have lost three of four after winning four straight. Angels starter C.J. Wilson (10-8) labored through 5⅓ innings, giving up one run and five hits with five walks and five strikeouts. Kevin Jepsen worked the ninth for his first save since Sept. 16, 2012. He struck out Ortiz with two on and none out before allowing a run. Brandon Workman (1-7) lost his sixth straight start, giving up two runs and six hits in seven innings. The Angles broke ahead 2-0 on two-out doubles by Trout and Pujols in the third after Kole Calhoun walked. Brock Holt extended his hitting streak to 12 games with an RBI single, cutting it to 2-1 in the fourth. Los Angeles added two runs in the eighth when pitcher Junichi Tazawa bobbled a grounder and made a wild throw with the bases loaded. He was charged with two errors on the play. ROYALS 6, TWINS 4 In Minneapolis, Erik Kratz homered twice after replacing an ailing Salvador Perez, and Jason Vargas pitched seven strong innings to lead firstplace Kansas City to a victory over Minnesota. Vargas (10-5) allowed one run on four this and struck out three, but had his scoreless innings streak snapped at 17 when Oswaldo Arcia hit a solo homer in the seventh. Perez had two hits and two RBIs before leaving in the seventh because of discomfort in his right knee, helping the Royals win for the 21st time in 26 games. Kansas City extended its lead over the idle Detroit Tigers in the AL Central to two games. Trevor May (0-2) gave up three runs on seven hits and walked four in 4⅔ innings for the Twins. ORIOLES 8, WHITE SOX 2 In Chicago, Nick Markakis hit a two-run homer and prevented one with a leaping catch in right field, and Nelson Cruz and J.J. Hardy each added a solo shot to power Baltimore past the White Sox. Markakis was 3 for 5 with two RBIs and two runs, helping the Orioles increase their AL East lead to 7½ games over the idle New York Yankees. Cruz hit his 32nd homer, passing White Sox rookie Jose Abreu for the American League lead. Cruz is tied with Mike Stanton of the Miami Marlins for most in the majors. Bud Norris (11-7) allowed two runs and three hits in seven innings to win his third straight start. Chicago ace Chris Sale (10-3) yielded three runs and eight hits in six innings. He has dropped two straight decisions. INTERLEAGUE PHILLIES 4, MARINERS 1 In Philadelphia, Jerome Williams took a three-hitter into the eighth inning, Andres Blanco hit his first homer in three years, and the Phillies beat Seattle. Making his second start since joining the Phillies, Williams (1-0) allowed one run and three hits in seven-plus innings. Mariners rookie lefty Roenis Elias (9-10) gave up one run and three hits in four innings. He constantly pitched out of jams because he walked six and hit one batter with a pitch. Blanco connected for a threerun shot off reliever Dominic Leone in the fifth to give the Phillies a 4-0 lead. It was his first home run since July 1, 2011, for Texas against Florida.

Cardinals beat Cincinnati in 10 innings The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Jhonny Peralta’s 10thinning single, his third hit of the game, drove in the winning run to give the St. Louis Cardinals Cardinals 6 a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds Reds 5 on Monday night. Jay Bruce homered, doubled and knocked in four runs for the Reds, giving him nine RBIs in four games. Brandon Phillips returned from left thumb surgery wearing a brace and was 0 for 4 with a walk. Logan Ondrusek (3-3) entered with one out in the 10th and gave up consecutive singles to Matt Holliday, Matt Adams and Peralta. Ondrusek (strained right shoulder) was activated from the disabled list earlier in the day. Peralta’s RBI single in the first was just his second in 32 at-bats against the Reds this season. He also doubled and scored the tying run on A.J. Pierzynski’s hit off Jumbo Diaz in the eighth. NATIONALS 5, DIAMONBACKS 4 In Washington, Adam LaRoche hit a game-winning solo home run with

Nashville smacks down Isotopes 9-3 Visiting Nashville smacked three home runs and had 16 hits, scoring the game’s final eight runs in a 9-3 victory over Albuquerque in Pacific Coast League action Monday night at Isotopes Park. Albuquerque (57-72) has dropped 19 of its last 25 games and has not won consecutive contests since July 24-25. The Isotopes took Sunday’s game against Nashville, but dropped two of the three games in the series heading into Tuesday’s finale. Sounds cleanup hitter Jason Rogers had four hits, including a solo home run in the top of the second inning off Isotopes starter Barry Enright (0-3). Six Nashville players had at least two hits apiece while Matt Clark, Sean Halton and Hector

Gomez each had a pair of runs batted in. Enright lasted six innings, giving up 11 hits and five runs, all earned. His ERA mushroomed to 7.81. Nashville’s Donovan Hand (3-7) got the win, scattering seven hits and two earned runs in 5⅔ innings on the mound. Mike Baxter and Joc Pederson hit back to back home runs off him in the second inning. For Pederson it was his 30th of the season. Pederson leads the league in home runs and his 28 stolen bases ranks him among the Pacific Coast League’s leaders.

two outs in the 11th inning to help the Nationals beat Arizona for their seventh straight win. It was the third walk-off win in as

the Nationals bullpen and was mobbed by his teammates at home plate. BRAVES 7, PIRATES 3 In Pittsburgh, Jason Heyward and Andrelton Simmons homered to begin a six-run first inning, and Atlanta beat the sliding Pirates for their fourth consecutive victory. The early outburst was enough for Ervin Santana, who allowed three solo homers among nine hits in 5⅓ innings. Santana (13-6) improved to 8-1 over his past 10 starts. Pittsburgh has lost six in a row. Starling Marte went deep twice, and Neil Walker added a homer that became the first to reach the Allegheny River beyond right field at PNC Park this season. CUBS 4, METS 1 In New York, Kyle Hendricks and two relievers held the Mets to four or fewer hits for the fifth straight game, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez hit long homers, and Chicago rallied for a victory over the Mets. Hendricks (5-1) gave up just three hits in seven innings, allowing only Lucas Duda’s home run in the fourth. The rookie right-hander won his fourth straight start — yielding four earned runs over 29⅓ innings.

Broncos look primed for big run

Nadal won’t defend U.S. Open title because of wrist

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos look like they’re ready to start the season. They had an impressive preseason debut against the Seattle Seahawks, the team that throttled them in the Super Bowl, and they christened San Francisco’s new stadium with a 34-0 shutout of the 49ers on Sunday. Denver’s starting offense is in midseason form with three scores in four possessions with Peyton Manning completing 22 of 27 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown. And they haven’t even shown the offense they’ll unveil against Indianapolis on Sept. 7, when starting running back Montee Ball returns from an appendectomy that’s sidelining him the entire preseason. Denver’s front-line defense has been just as impressive, allowing one TD on four drives while DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib have shown exactly why GM John Elway committed $109.5 million to bring the trio to town. Pass-rusher Von Miller and versatile cornerback Chris Harris Jr. haven’t suited up yet, either. Coach John Fox cringed at the thought, however, that the Broncos look ready to start the season, one in which they’ll try to become the first team in 40 years to win a Super Bowl the year after losing it. “No, we still have a lot of work to do,” Fox said. OK, then, certainly Manning looks ready. “Again, we’re getting readier,” Fox said. “I’m not saying we’re not ready, but we still have two more preseason games.” With Jadeveon Clowney and J.J. Watt and the rest of the Houston Texans in town for joint practices this week, Denver’s starters might be in for another cameo next weekend instead of playing into the third quarter as is the norm for the third preseason game. “This week will be a good week, we’re going to practice against Houston for three days and I think depending on how the practices go, that could maybe alter the playing time situation,” Manning said. “I think we’ll get a lot of game-like scenarios this week going against a good test, especially going against their defense.” About the only knock on the Broncos so far was Manning’s ill-advised run on second-and-8 from the San Francisco 9 in which he gained 1 yard before Aldon Smith smothered him.

It was a designed draw for Manning, who gained zero yards on the ground last year, when he threw for a record 5,447 yards and 55 touchdowns. “Yeah, it’s a tendency breaker,” Manning said. “You try to catch them off guard. It’s probably not really high on their alert game plan sheet, ‘Watch for the quarterback run.’ I thought I was going to score but I got one yard. Kind of humbling.” And kind of frightening for Broncos fans who saw their season flash in front of their eyes. Not to worry, Manning, 38, wasn’t making a statement to offensive coordinator Adam Gase that he wants to run the ball some this year. “It was not that,” Manning said. Manning’s protege, Brock Osweiler, has shown good growth in the preseason, hitting Jordan Norwood with a game-winning 34-yard dart against Seattle and throwing a 33-yard TD strike to rookie Cody Latimer on Sunday. With Ball sidelined, Ronnie Hillman, C.J. Anderson and Kapri Bibbs have all run for TDs while Juwan Thompson, an undrafted rookie from Duke, has a team-high 69 yards rushing. Neither Demaryius Thomas nor Julius Thomas have reached agreement on a new

contract like Elway had hoped they would by now. Both are showing why the Broncos want to secure them to long-term deals with Demaryius catching 10 passes for 89 yards and Julius grabbing a 17-yard touchdown toss from Manning in San Francisco. The Broncos turned the ball over way too much last year and they’ve stressed ball control during the offseason, having different position groups carry around footballs wrapped in blue helmet beanies to emphasize the point. So far, no lost fumbles. “You can do a lot of things if you take care of the ball,” Demaryius Thomas said. The biggest camp casualty was weakside linebacker Danny Trevathan (leg), who’s expected to miss the first month of the season. Brandon Marshall, who has just one NFL regular-season tackle on his resume, replaced him and led the Broncos with five tackles Sunday while playing on all three downs and making the defensive calls like Trevathan. “Brandon got a chance to show what he’s capable of,” Fox said. And the Broncos got the chance to flash the kind of depth they’ve lacked in years past.

Simms, Dungy may not use ‘Redskins’ on TV By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Two influential NFL voices — including CBS lead analyst Phil Simms, who will handle Washington’s Week 4 game — said Monday they likely won’t use the term Redskins when discussing the franchise. “My very first thought is it will be Washington the whole game,” Simms told The Associated Press on Monday. Simms will work the Thursday night package the network acquired this season and will have Giants-Redskins on Sept. 25. He isn’t taking sides in the debate over whether Washington’s nickname is offensive or racist. But he says he is sensitive to the complaints about the name, and his instincts now are to not use Redskins in his announcing. “I never really thought about it, and then it came up and it made me think about it,” Simms added. “There are a lot of things that can come up in a broadcast, and I am sensitive to this.” His broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, says it is “not my job to take a stance.” NBC’s Tony Dungy, one of the most prominent voices in

the league as a Super Bowlwinning coach and now as a studio commentator, plans to take the same route as Simms. Phil “I will perSimms sonally try not to use Redskins and refer to them as Washington,” Dungy said in an email. “Personal opinion for me, not the network.” CBS is allowing its announcers to decide on their own whether to call the team the Redskins. So is Fox, which handles the NFC and will televise most of Washington’s games. “As long as their nickname is the Redskins, I’ll continue to call them the Redskins,” said Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, the lead analyst for Fox. NBC does not have any Redskins games scheduled — the late-season flex scheduling could change that — but the team certainly will be mentioned on its NFL telecasts this season. The network said “For all of our sports properties, our on-air commentators have full discretion to reference participating teams by their city/

region/state name, team nickname or both.” ESPN said in a statement: “We use the marks and nicknames as Daniel Snyder utilized by the teams, leagues and conferences we cover.” The Redskins’ nickname was the subject of a halftime essay by NBC’s Bob Costas last October when Washington played Dallas on Sunday night. In part, Costas said, “Think for a moment about the term Redskins, and how it truly differs from all the others. Ask yourself what the equivalent would be, if directed toward African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, or members of any other ethnic group. When considered that way, Redskins can’t possibly honor a heritage, or noble character trait, nor can it possibly be considered a neutral term. It’s an insult, a slur, no matter how benign the present-day intent.’ ” Several CBS announcers, appearing at a network news conference about its NFL coverage, said they will use the nickname.

“That’s the name of their team and that’s what I am going to use,” said Boomer Esiason, a member of the CBS studio crew and also an analyst for Westwood One on Monday night games. Spero Dedes and Solomon Wilcots will call the second game of the season when the Redskins host Jacksonville. Dedes said he will seek direction from the entire broadcast crew on using the nickname. “I sympathize with people who may be offended by the name,” Dedes said. Wilcots said he will use “Washington Redskins as long as that is what they are called. That’s their official name and I used it last year, two years ago, 10 years ago.” Rich Gannon, the NFL’s MVP in 2002 with the Raiders, spent one season playing for the Redskins. He now announces games for CBS. “There are so many Redskins fans that take great pride in the name,” Gannon said. “[Owner] Daniel Snyder has said he’s talked and visited with [many] American Indian nations who are supportive of the name. And there are those who oppose it who are being heard. It’s an important topic.”

Tough: Browns haven’t picked starting QB Continued from Page B-1 and I just need to let it slide off my back and go to the next play.” Meanwhile, Pettine needs to pick a quarterback. The performances were so unspectacular that the coach suggested he might audible from his previously stated plan of announcing his regular-season starter on Tuesday. “All the options are still on the table,” Pettine said. Hoyer started Monday night and completed 2 of 6 passes for 16 yards. His selfassessment: “It probably couldn’t have been any worse. It’s disappointing. It was embarrassing.” Manziel, the No. 22 overall pick in the draft, was 7 for 16 for 65 yards and a touchdown. Of his series early in the game, he said: “I really tried to force everything and not let it fly like I should have. I need to get better at that and throw the dang ball.”

Those stats, as mediocre as they are, were padded by series against the Redskins’ backups. In the first quarter — when Washington’s starters were in the game — Manziel was 2 for 7 for 29 yards, while Hoyer was 0 for 2. “They both missed some throws,” Pettine said. If there’s any hint as to which way Pettine is leaning, it’s worth noting that Hoyer started for the second consecutive game and played mostly with the first-team offense, while Manziel was sent out with the backups to play in the second half. Manziel took advantage by leading a 16-play, 68-yard drive capped by an 8-yard pass to Dion Lewis for Cleveland’s first touchdown. The sloppy game included 21 penalties and five turnovers. The Browns were particularly susceptible to the NFL’s new emphasis on hindering receivers: Cleveland’s defense was whistled five times for holding or illegal contact in

the first quarter alone, including twice on one play. The Redskins don’t have a quarterback competition, but their former Heisman winner — Robert Griffin III — also needs some work to get to regular-season form. He finished 6 for 8 for 112 yards, including an off-balance throw that was picked off by Haden. “I just can’t throw it late,” Griffin said. “And if I do, it has to be a humdinger — and it wasn’t a humdinger. I kind of floated it out there.” Designed QB runs are being marginalized under new Redskins coach Jay Gruden, but Griffin was nevertheless hit hard several times as he scrambled four times for 24 yards and earned a thigh bruise along the way. “It’s nothing to worry about,” Griffin said. “I know anything that happens with me — or quarterbacks in general — guys get a little worried.”

Reigning champion Rafael Nadal pulled out of the U.S. Open on Monday because of an injury for the second time in three years, leaving Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer as the men to beat at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. Nadal announced his withdrawal, blamed on a bad right wrist, one week before play begins at Flushing Meadows. “I am sure you understand that it is a very tough moment for me since it is a tournament I love and where I have great memories from fans, the night matches, so many things,” a posting on Nadal’s Facebook page read. “Not much more I can do right now, other than accept the situation and, as always in my case, work hard in order to be able to compete at the highest level once I am back.” The second-ranked Nadal plays left-handed, but he uses a two-handed backhand. The 14-time major champion was hurt July 29 while practicing on his home island of Mallorca ahead of the North American hard-court circuit. The next day, Nadal announced he needed to wear a cast on his wrist for two to three weeks and would be sitting out tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati. The 28-year-old Spaniard also said at that time he expected to return for the U.S. Open. Instead, he’s the fourth man in the Open era, which began in 1968, to decline to try to defend his U.S. Open title. The others were Ken Rosewall in 1971, Pete Sampras in 2003 and Juan Martin del Potro in 2010. Del Potro also is out of

this year’s U.S. Open after wrist surgery in March. Nadal is 44-8 with four titles in 2014, Rafael Nadal including his record ninth French Open trophy in June. He has not competed since losing in the fourth round of Wimbledon on July 1. With Nadal sidelined, five-time U.S. Open champion Federer joins Djokovic as a favorite in New York — even if there are questions about them. Federer turned 33 this month, and it’s been more than two years since he won one of his record 17 Grand Slam titles. But he is coming off a runner-up finish at Wimbledon last month and a hard-court title at the Cincinnati Masters on Sunday. After beating David Ferrer 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 on Sunday, Federer declared: “My game’s exactly where I want it to be.” Djokovic won Wimbledon to take the No. 1 ranking from Nadal, but had a rough time on hard courts, losing his second match in both Toronto and Cincinnati. Still, Djokovic will be seeded No. 1 at the U.S. Open, and the third-ranked Federer is expected to rise one seeding spot to No. 2, so they could meet only in the final. The draw is Thursday. Federer reached six consecutive finals at Flushing Meadows from 2004-09, but hasn’t been that far since, losing in the semifinals in 2010 and 2011, the quarterfinals in 2012, and the fourth round a year ago, when he was dealing with a bothersome back.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Grasu is the anchor of Oregon’s offense By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon senior center Hroniss Grasu never would have played football if his parents had their way. Steve and Mariana Grasu, immigrants from Romania, preferred soccer over American football, which they saw as too dangerous. It was only reluctantly that Grasu was allowed to kick for his high school team, and when a coach put him on the offensive line, well, he didn’t exactly mention it to his folks. It was a long, silent ride home when the Grasus attended their son’s first game. “They enjoy it now,” he said, laughing. “They come to every single game, home and away. I think I’ve got the family hooked on football.” Lucky for Oregon the Grasus allowed their son to keep playing. Now a senior, Grasu is unquestionably the No. 3 Ducks’ anchor, according to quarterback Marcus Mariota. Grasu, who is 6-foot-3 and just shy of 300 pounds, is considered one of the best players at his position in the nation, and he’s on the preseason watch lists for the Outland and Rimington trophies. He leads a strong group of linemen that helped Oregon lead the Pac-12 in rushing, scoring and total offense last season. The line was to return all five starters, but Tyler Johnstone injured his right knee during fall camp and is out

for the season. “We’ve got so many guys on this team who are on the same page as me, guys that have a lot of experience and a lot of playing time. But we have so much work to get done,” Grasu said. “We’ve always got to get a new standard, reach a new standard, and then set another one.” Grasu grew up in the Los Angeles area, where his parents own a chain of pizza parlors. His older brother, Nico, was a kicker at Washington State. He became Oregon’s starting center as a redshirt freshman after beating out Karrington Armstrong for the job. At the time, thencoach Chip Kelly said the best compliment he could give Grasu was that he never had to think about him. But Grasu is just as important to the Ducks for his role off the field. Players often mention that he is everyone’s go-to teammate for advice. For the past two seasons the team has honored him with the Todd Doxey Award for the player that best represents the “spirituality, dedication and brotherhood associated with being an outstanding teammate.” The award is named after the Oregon defensive back who drowned in an accident shortly before the 2008 season. Considered a solid NFL prospect at center, Grasu instead opted to return to the Ducks for his senior year. Mariota and cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu also decided to stick around for another season.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Paranormal son talks to ‘cousin’ Dear Annie: My 5-year-old son has been claiming to see the paranormal. I’m sure part of it is just his imagination. But sometimes he describes in great detail people and even pets who have died. He mainly claims to see a cousin he never met, but whom he can describe accurately. Sometimes, he will sit up in bed and start talking to a wall, saying he is talking to his cousin. Now he says he can see someone else. He isn’t sure who it is, but it frightens him. My son won’t even walk past the bedroom door without me or another adult with him and the bedroom light on. We don’t let him watch scary movies or anything like that. Is it possible that he is really seeing these things? I’ve mentioned it to a few different ministers who just laughed it off and said there is no such thing as the paranormal. Any advice would be appreciated. — A Fan of Your Work Dear Fan: The fact that your son doesn’t watch scary movies does not mean he hasn’t been exposed to ads for them or comments from friends. Nonetheless, our concern is not that your son is making it up. Sometimes manifestations of the paranormal can indicate a medical problem. Please take him to his doctor for a complete checkup, including a neurological exam. Dear Annie: A couple in our social circle have developed a disgusting habit in recent years, and no one knows how to approach them about it. These people blow their noses at the dinner table every time they sit down and then return their dirty tissues to their pockets and carry on eating. This is not just a gentle dab at the end of the nose. It’s a full-blown empty-the-sinus kind of thing. These people are well educated with good jobs. I’m sure they

would be devastated if we said something, but it has reached the point where we no longer accept dinner invitations if we know they will be there, because this nose blowing turns our stomachs. We can’t understand how no one in their family has mentioned it to them. Is this a social faux pas, or are we too picky? — Disgusted Dear Disgusted: It is definitely a social faux pas to blow one’s nose at the dinner table. One can wipe a sniffle, but blasting more than that should be done in the privacy of the bathroom. Should it happen again in your presence, simply say, “My goodness, Horace! Your allergies must be getting worse. You’d make all of us more comfortable if you used the powder room to take care of that.” The two of them may be mildly miffed, but making people sick at the dinner table is not appropriate. Dear Annie: I would like to contribute to the responses to “Frustrated with Noise,” who complained about young children in church. When my sons were small, they were a wild bunch running down the aisles of our synagogue. Our rabbi never reprimanded them. If a baby cried during services, the rabbi would always ask the parents not to remove the child. One day he explained: He was a Holocaust survivor. The first year after he was liberated from the concentration camp, there were no children at services. They had all been murdered. After a year or so, people started to have children again. Babies were born. At the first service with children in attendance, there was the sound of babies crying. It was such a joyful sound that our rabbi never again wanted to preside over a service without the sound of children. — Agoura Hills, Calif.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, August 19, the 231st day of 2014. There are 134 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On August 19, A.D. 14, Caesar Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, died at age 76 after a reign lasting four decades; he was succeeded by his stepson Tiberius.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Move forward in a discussion. Listen to others’ opinions before deciding which way to go. Tonight: Pay attention to an older person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Defer to someone else, so that he or she can show off his or her skills. You might be taken aback by this person’s self-expression. Tonight: Go with the program. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might feel overwhelmed by everything you need to do. Show off your delegating skills. Tonight: Make it cozy and warm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Settle in, and decide what your priorities are before you act. Otherwise, you could experience a big backfire. Tonight: Invite a friend over. Jacqueline Bigar
