Shoddy VA care not to blame in Ariz. deaths By Stephen Ohlemacher The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Government investigators found no proof that delays in care caused veterans to die at a Phoenix VA hospital, but they found widespread problems that the Veterans Affairs Department is promising to fix. Investigators uncovered large-scale improprieties in the way VA hospitals and clinics across the nation have been scheduling veterans for appointments, according to a report released Tuesday by the VA’s Office of Inspector General. The report said workers falsified waitlists while their supervisors looked the other way or even directed it, resulting in chronic delays for veterans seeking care. “Inappropriate scheduling practices are a nationwide systemic problem,” said the report by Richard Griffin, the VA’s acting inspector general. “These practices became systemic because [the Veterans Health Administration] did not hold senior headquarters and facility leadership responsible and accountable.” The report could deflate an explosive allegation that helped launch the scandal in the spring: that as many as 40 veterans died while awaiting care at the Phoenix VA hospital. Investigators identified 40 patients who died while awaiting appointments in Phoenix. But, the report said: “While the case reviews in this report document poor quality of care, we are unable to conclusively assert that the absence

said Sara Goeking, lead author for the report. Insects, wildfires and disease were the top culprits in tree deaths and are related to a multi-year drought, Goeking said in a prepared statement. The mortality rate was higher on Forest Service lands than private lands, even as timber harvests from national forests declined by 95 percent, according to the study. Private landowners own more than 40 percent, or 10.8 million acres, of the state’s forest lands, according to the report. The Forest Service manages 7.8 million acres of forest. Each of the forest sites analyzed in the study represents 6,000 acres. Only 252 forest sites provided data over an extended time back to the 1980s. Initially, those forests had a lot of growth and low mortality, mirroring a time when the state was a lot wetter. In the last decade

The Santa Fe County Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution asking the secretary of state to include on the November ballot a question asking city of Santa Fe voters whether the city should decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana. The proposal, which is contingent on the City Council approving a similar resolution at its meeting Wednesday, came despite concerns by New Mexico Secretary of State Dianna Duran about whether she can fit the question onto a crowded general election ballot. The City Council, which has authority to amend municipal ordinances without the need for an election, has scheduled a public hearing on the matter during a session scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall. Groups advocating the ballot initiative have gathered enough petition signatures to require the city to put the issue before voters at some point. The effort to piggyback the special election onto the November ballot has raised speculation that it might lure more younger, liberal-minded voters to the polls, possibly aiding Democrats seeking office. Duran and her elections director, Bobbi Shearer, told county commissioners that the issue may be difficult to accommodate on a ballot that includes five constitutional amendments, three statewide bond ques-

Study of New Mexico forests says insects, fire, disease are top killers By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

ew Mexico trees are dying faster than they are being replaced with new growth across much of the state, according to a study on forest health released Tuesday. Brown trees dotting landscapes around the state are a highly visible sign of what’s happening. The study by the U.S. Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station is a kind of encyclopedia of New Mexico forests, one that researchers hope can be consistently updated every few years. It uses data gathered at 3,000 forested sites on private and federal lands between 2008 and 2012. Analyzing tree death and growth over time can help land managers and policymakers spot trends and make decisions about protecting forests, which provide wildlife habitat, firewood and food, along with clean water.

Lawyers chided over gay marriage bans

Crews get stuck in Wal-Mart parking lot during rare desert rain

CHICAGO — Federal appeals judges bristled on Tuesday at arguments defending gay marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin, with one Republican appointee comparing them to now-defunct laws that once outlawed weddings between blacks and whites. The legal skirmish over same-sex marriage shifted to the three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. The panel’s often-blistering questions for the defenders of the same-sex marriage bans could be a signal the laws may be in trouble. Richard Posner balked when Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Timothy Samuelson repeatedly pointed to “tradition” as the underlying justification for barring gay marriage. “It was tradition to not allow blacks and whites to marry — a tradition that got swept away,” the 75-yearold judge said.

Medal of Honor to go to Union officer WASHINGTON — A century and a half after his valiant death at the Battle of Gettysburg, a Union Army officer is being awarded the nation’s highest military decoration, thanks to a decades-long campaign by his descendants and Civil War buffs. The White House announced Tuesday that President Barack Obama approved the Medal of Honor for 1st Lt. Alonzo H. Cushing, who was killed standing his ground against Pickett’s Charge during the pivotal, three-day Battle of Gettysburg. The White House also announced that Obama will award the medal in a ceremony on Sept. 15 to two Vietnam War soldiers — Army Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie G. Adkins and Army Spc. Donald P. Sloat.

RENO, Nev. h, Burning Man, the annual weeklong rave that draws thousands of free-thinkers to a remote spot in the Nevada desert. It’s a festival so remote and bizarre that the only limit to free expression is imagination … and that dust that always gets into the electronics. Except when it rains. That’s when the “Burners” end up in the parking lot of the Reno Wal-Mart. Turned back at the gate to the Black Rock Desert after rare showers on Monday turned the ancient lake bottom to a muddy quagmire, hundreds of “Burners” were forced to overnight on the Wal-Mart blacktop. Nearly a hundred other RVs pulled into the parking lot of the Grand Sierra Resort casino, across the street. “We’re just trying to stay positive,” said a woman from Oakland, Calif., who identified herself only as “Driftwood,” and was hanging out with some first-timers from Texas. “Positivity can raise everything up.” Organizers announced after midnight that they could roll onto the lake. By midmorning Tuesday all but a few dozen of the RVs were back on the road again, and by most accounts, no worse for the wear. “We’ll make the best of things” said Aviva Mohilner, a former public relations specialist from Los Angeles making her third trip. “It always works out.”

Since the news broke that Burger King Worldwide has agreed to buy Canadian chain Tim Hortons for $11 billion, much of the discussion has centered on what the deal might mean for the corporate tax rate Burger King pays — and rightfully so. As part of the deal, a parent company will be formed that will operate from Canada, where tax rates are considerably lower. But all of this overlooks what could be the most interesting aspect of the deal. Burger King is gobbling up a unique and wildly successful company. In some ways, Tim Hortons is the Dunkin’ Donuts of Canada. The chain, which was founded in 1964 by its namesake, former NHL

Travelers en route to Burning Man parked more than 100 recreational vehicles Monday at a Wal-Mart parking lot in Reno, Nev., when a rare rainstorm turned the Black Rock Desert, 90 miles north, into a muddy quagmire. SCOTT SONNER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

One New York City man loading coolers into a U-Haul on his first voyage to the desert wilderness said he was in too much of a hurry to make it to the desert Tuesday to talk. But another New Yorker, Ben Zion, asked a reporter to take a picture of him and his eight friends from Israel, all anxious first-timers. The rain delay was actually good for them, he said: “We got to get some rest and a shower.” Cuong Huynh, a four-time Burner and IT specialist from San Diego, Calif., said he’s usually more concerned about dusty wind storms than rain, which is why he keeps his cellphone in a plastic bag. Last year, it rained just before the festival, packing all the dirt and keeping the dust down, he said. “Rain is really good for us, just not while you’re out there,” he said.

to the gathering. “All this pentup energy,” said Gerek, 36, who teaches Burning Man workshops on the “intersection of sexuality and spirituality.” That was the general consensus among Burners Monday night as many of the RVs, VW buses and truck’s pulling trailers gathered at a makeshift staging area. It wasn’t entirely unlike the contraptions that light up the weeklong desert gathering, which began at San Francisco’s Baker Beach in 1986 and now culminates in the Black Rock with the burning of a towering wooden effigy Labor Day weekend. A record 68,000 people attended last year.

for the deal and will earn 9 percent interest on the investment, denied the tax incentives. Instead, Buffett pointed to the strength of the Canadian chain. “Tim Hortons earns more money than Burger King does,” he told the Financial Times on Tuesday. “I just don’t know how the Canadians would feel about Tim Hortons moving to Florida. The main thing here is to make the Canadians happy.” The logic is understandable — after all, loyal Canadians are the lifeblood of the company. “I’m obsessed with Tim Hortons,” said Ian Hardy, 40, a Toronto blogger who runs the unofficial fan-site Inside Timmies. “I don’t want to see it change. No one here does.” Information from Bloomberg News was used in this report.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, and former Gov. Charlie Crist, a Democrat, easily won their primary elections Tuesday, and will advance to a general-election showdown that is expected to be one of the nastiest and most expensive campaigns in recent history. Faced with only nominal competitors, both were declared victorious not long after the polls closed Tuesday. Crist had no trouble getting past Nan Rich, a former state senator. Scott breezed by Elizabeth Cuevas-Neunder, who founded the Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce of Florida, and pharmacist Yinka Adeshina. Florida was one of four states where voters went to the polls Tuesday. In Arizona, they pared down the field in the first open gubernatorial race in 12 years. In Oklahoma and Vermont, lower-profile contests were being settled. Arizona Treasurer Doug Ducey won the GOP nomination to succeed outgoing Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican. Ducey defeated former Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, former GoDaddy executive Christine Jones and three others. He will be favored to defeat Democrat Fred DuVal, who was unopposed in the primary. Ducey, a former Cold Stone Creamery chief executive, was backed by numerous national tea party leaders, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah. Smith, a more moderate Republican, had Brewer’s support. The governor campaigned hard for him in the closing stage of the race. Meanwhile, in the 2nd District, where Rep. Ron Barber, a Democrat, is one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the country, retired Air Force Col. Martha McSally won the Republican nomination, setting up a rematch. Barber barely defeated McSally in 2012. Oklahoma held runoff elections to settle primaries in which no candidate received a majority of the vote. The marquee contest was the Republican race in the 5th District, safe GOP territory where Republican Rep. James Lankford is leaving to run for the Senate. Former state senator Steve Russell defeated Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Patrice Douglas. In Florida’s 26th District, where Republicans think they can unseat Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia, MiamiDade School Board member Carlos Curbelo won the GOP nomination. He outpaced four opponents, including former congressman David Rivera, who suspended his campaign in July.

Burger King gobbles up success story

LONDON — About 1,400 children were sexually exploited in a northern England town, a report concluded Tuesday in a damning account of “collective failures” by authorities to prevent victims as young as 11 from being beaten, raped and trafficked over a 16-year period. Report author Alexis Jay cited appalling acts of violence between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham, a town of some 250,000. The independent report came after a series of convictions of sexual predators in the region and groundbreaking reports in the Times of London. The report described rapes by multiple perpetrators, mainly from Britain’s Pakistani community, and how children were trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten and intimidated.

Gaza truce open-ended, puts off tough issues By Karin Laub and Mohammed Daraghmeh The Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel and Gaza’s ruling Hamas agreed Tuesday to an open-ended cease-fire after seven weeks of fighting — an uneasy deal that halts the deadliest war the sides have fought in years, with more than 2,200 killed, but puts off the most difficult issues. In the end, both sides settled for an ambiguous interim agreement in exchange for a period of calm. Hamas, though badly battered, remains in control of Gaza with part of its military arsenal intact. Israel and Egypt will continue to control access to blockaded Gaza, despite Hamas’ long-running demand that the border closures

more than 11,000 and left as many as 100,000 homeless. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and six civilians were killed, including two killed by Palestinian mortar fire shortly before the cease-fire was announced. Large crowds gathered in Gaza City after the truce took effect at dusk, some waving the green flags of Hamas, while celebratory gunfire and fireworks erupted across the territory. Mahmoud Zahar, a senior Hamas leader, promised to rebuild homes destroyed in the war and said Hamas would rearm. “We will build and upgrade our arsenal to be ready for the coming battle, the battle of full liberation,” he declared, surrounded by Hamas gunmen. The Israeli response was more subdued.

“This time we hope the cease-fire will stick,” said Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev. He portrayed the deal as one Hamas had rejected in previous rounds of negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced some criticism from hard-line critics and residents of Israeli communities near Gaza who said the deal failed to defuse the threat from Gaza militants. Since July 8, Hamas and its allies have fired some 4,000 rockets and mortars at Israel, and tens of thousands of Israelis evacuated areas near Gaza in recent weeks. Under the Egyptian-brokered deal, Israel is to ease imports to Gaza, including aid and material for reconstruction. It also agreed to a largely symbolic gesture, expanding a fishing zone for Gaza fishermen from three

Other American hostages have been held by other militant groups, including Peter Curtis from Boston, who was recently released by al-Nusra Front, a rival Sunni extremist group. Another U.S. freelance journalist, Austin Tice of Houston, disappeared in Syria in August 2012 and is believed to be held by the same organization. Tice was working for The Washington Post, McClatchy Newspapers and other media outlets when he was kidnapped. The Islamic State militant group is seeking to create a caliphate across parts of Syria and Iraq. The militant group is so ruthless in its attacks against all people they consider heretics or infidels that it has been disowned by al-Qaida’s leaders.

In its annual report last November, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists estimated at least 30 journalists have been kidnapped or have disappeared in Syria — held and threatened with death by extremists or taken captive by gangs seeking ransom.

The group reported 52 journalists have been killed since Syria’s civil war began in early 2011 and documented at least 24 other journalists who disappeared earlier this year but are now safe.

Israel has said it would only agree if Hamas disarms, a demand the militant group has rejected. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday that the agreement offers “an opportunity, not a certainty.” “Today’s agreement comes after many hours and days of negotiations and discussions. But certainly there’s a long road ahead. … We’re going into this eyes wide open,” she said. Early on in the war, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had tried in vain to broker a truce.

THE NEW MEXICAN Wednesday, August 27, 2014

Probe: Two groups say they booked facility Continued from Page A-1 the documents couldn’t be immediately authenticated, The New Mexican isn’t naming the county employee listed in the reports. Efforts to reach both Trujillo and the county employee on Tuesday were unsuccessful. The investigation comes against a background of turmoil in Rio Arriba County government involving Rodella. The County Commission voted unanimously to to seek the sheriff’s resignation in the wake of a federal indictment charging him with violating the civil rights of an Española man during a roadway incident earlier this year. The documents say the county employee under investigation is suspected of pocketing fees paid for use of the county facility for a private party. Authorities apparently were called after a second group of people showed up to use the facility at the same time, claiming they had paid to use the center and had a contract to prove it. The documents give the following narrative of the incident: A county employee and the sheriff’s office were called about a verbal altercation at the

community center Aug. 3. A man with the first party told deputies that his group had paid the county employee several months earlier for use of the facility for a baby shower. The man said the employee didn’t provide him with a contract that would prove a payment was made. But the county employee told deputies he didn’t know how the group got into the facility and denied having booked the center for the party. A woman with the second party handed the deputies a contract that showed she had paid the county more than $300 to rent the facility, also for a baby shower. Deputies later talked to a clerk who handles rentals of county facilities, and the clerk said renters need to directly pay a clerk and receive a contract and a receipt. The clerk told deputies that she sometimes got calls from Commissioner Trujillo asking to book the center, but no one ever showed up at county offices to pay rental fees. Word of the sheriff’s investigation became public after the County Commission met to approve a letter to Rodella asking that he resign because of the federal indictment and other incidents they said brought dis-

credit to Rio Arriba County. Rio Arriba County Attorney Adán Trujillo complained in a second letter to Rodella last week that a criminal investigation by Rodella’s office would appear to be a retaliation against the county administration. Rodella has been prohibited from carrying a gun and lost his law enforcement certification as a result of the federal indictment, which accuses him of assaulting an Española motorist with a pistol in March and then lying about what happened in an arrest report. Rodella’s lawyer, Robert Gorence, said in an email Tuesday that the sheriff, whose term runs through the end of the year, won’t resign. Court records show Rodella’s trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 22, and Gorence said Rodella “will be acquitted by the end of the week, to then resume his responsibilities as Sheriff.” Recently unsealed court documents show that FBI agents who raided Rodella’s home in June, one day after Rodella lost his re-election bid in the Democratic Party primary, were searching for his badge and a silver handgun. The federal indictment filed Aug. 15 says that after the sheriff and his son engaged “in a high-

speed pursuit” of the Española driver, Rodella, who was not in uniform, assaulted the driver with a silver revolver and slammed his badge against the man’s face. Both Rodella and his son have pleaded not guilty to charges in the indictment. Rodella arrested the driver, 26-year-old Michael Tafoya, but a magistrate later dismissed the charges of assault on a peace officer, aggravated assault and resisting arrest. Court documents say Tafoya’s booking photo showed a “reddish, swollen area under his right eye.” FBI agents wanted to examine Rodella’s badge in an effort to determine whether it bore any DNA evidence linked to Tafoya. Documents weren’t clear whether any items were taken from the home. State Law Enforcement Academy Director Jack Jones said Tuesday that Rodella has verbally notified him that he plans to attend a Sept. 3 meeting of the Law Enforcement Academy Board to appeal the suspension of his law enforcement certification.

Tree: State has estimated 6.7 billion trees Continued from Page A-1 during several years of drought, tree deaths rose and tree growth declined. Tree health depended a lot on the type of tree, the study found. Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, white fir and quaking aspen all had more tree deaths than growth. A total of 35.2 million cubic feet of ponderosa pines died compared to 23.4 million cubic feet of net growth, according to the study. And more than 30 million cubic feet of common piñon died, while new growth measured 12.6 million cubic feet. Juniper and piñon survived a drought and a bark beetle onslaught pretty well in 2007, just prior to the study period, despite the brown landscapes

around places like Santa Fe that made residents wonder if there would be any trees left. About 8

percent of the total piñon forest died and less than 2 percent of juniper.

From 2008 to 2012, researchers calculated that the one-seed juniper added 18 million cubic feet of growth, far exceeding the species’ overall mortality. The state sports an estimated 6.7 billion live trees. According to researchers, piñon and juniper woodlands make up more than half the state’s forests. Gambel oak has the largest number of trees, but ponderosa pine provides the most biomass because of its size. For all trees over 5 inches in diameter, the annual mortality totaled 165 million cubic feet per year, while the annual growth was 46.4 million cubic feet.

Shearer said the state was asked to consider a two-page ballot, which she said isn’t recommended because it makes it difficult to track ballots. She said it’s unclear what would happen if an absentee voter returned only one page. “It raises questions that have never been asked before about how those ballots should be tabulated,” she said. Despite those and other concerns, the commission approved the resolution. Commissioner Robert Anaya was absent for the vote. The commission’s approval gives County Manager Katherine Miller permission to sign a memorandum of understanding asking Duran to place the questions on the November ballot. Contact Daniel J.

VA: Official says vets’ wait too long Continued from Page A-1 of timely quality care caused the deaths of these veterans.” Top VA officials said the report’s findings were troubling. “I’m glad that veterans didn’t die because of delays in care, or at least they weren’t able to conclude that they did,” Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said in an interview. “But the fundamental issue is, veterans are waiting too long, and that’s the problem we’ve got to face.” Addressing the American Legion’s national convention in Charlotte, N.C., President Barack Obama said lengthy wait times and attempts to hide scheduling flaws were “outrageous and inexcusable.” “We are very clear-eyed about the problems that are still there,” Obama said. “And those problems require us to regain the trust of our veterans and live up to our vision of a VA that is more effective and more efficient and that truly puts veterans first. And I will not be satisfied until that happens.” Investigators examined health records and other information for 3,409 Phoenix patients, including the 40 who died. They identified 28 patients who experienced “significant delays in care.” Of those patients, six died, the report said. In addition, they identified 17 patients “whose care deviated from the expected standard.” Of those patients, 14 died, the report said. Since problems at the VA emerged earlier this year, the inspector general’s office says it has received 225 allegations of misconduct at the Phoenix VA, and 445 allegations of manipulated wait times at other VA medical facilities. The inspector general’s office is now investigating wait list issues at 93 medical facilities. The report said investigators have already found problems at “many medical facilities.” Among the problems at “many medical facilities,” investigators said workers were canceling appointments and rescheduling them to make wait times appear shorter than they actually were. “We substantiated that management at one facility directed schedulers to do this,” the report said. Investigators also found workers using paper wait lists instead of official electronic ones that can be tracked. Sen. Bernie Sanders, chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said the Phoenix VA “failed to meet our nation’s obligation to provide timely, quality health care to veterans.” “What happened in Phoenix is inexcusable and must never happen again in any VA facility,” said the Vermont independent. “The people who lied or manipulated data at Phoenix and elsewhere must be held accountable.” Earlier this year, Dr. Samuel Foote, who had worked for the Phoenix VA for more than 20 years before retiring in December, told Congress that up to 40 patients died while awaiting care at the hospital. Foote accused Arizona VA leaders of collecting bonuses for

reducing patient wait times. But, he said, the purported successes resulted from data manipulation rather than improved service for veterans. The allegations rocked the agency. Eric Shinseki resigned as VA secretary. In July, Congress approved spending an additional $16 billion to help shore up the system. On Tuesday, Foote issued a statement questioning the inspector general’s inability to “conclusively assert” that veterans died because of delays in care. “What charts did they look at? How many did they look at? And what kind of standard is” conclusively assert? Foote said. “Without question, their statement was worded such that the reader will assume that no harm came to the patient due to the delay in care. That is unlikely to be true.” The inspector general runs an independent office within the VA. The investigation was done by a team of physicians, special agents, auditors and health inspectors, who reviewed VA medical records and outside medical records for patients who died while waiting for care, the report said. They also reviewed more 1 million emails and 190,000 computer files. “This report cannot capture the personal disappointment, frustration and loss of faith of individual veterans and their family members with a health care system that often could not respond to their mental and physical health needs in a timely manner,” the report said. “Immediate and substantive changes are needed.” The VA has said it was firing three executives of the Phoenix VA hospital. The agency has also said it planned to fire two supervisors and discipline four other employees in Colorado and Wyoming accused of falsifying health care data. In a memo responding to the report, VA Secretary Robert McDonald apologized to veterans and pledged to implement the 24 recommendations in the inspector general’s report. “We sincerely apologize to all veterans and we will continue to listen to veterans, their families, veterans service organizations and our VA employees to improve access to the care and benefits veterans earned an deserve,” said McDonald’s memo, which was also signed by Carolyn Clancy, VA undersecretary for health. To help reduce backlogs, the VA is sending more veterans to private doctors for care. Congress approved $10 billion in emergency spending over three years to pay private doctors and other health professionals to care for veterans who can’t get timely appointments at VA medical facilities, or who live more than 40 miles from one. The new law includes $5 billion for hiring more VA doctors, nurses and other medical staff and $1.3 billion to open 27 new VA clinics across the country. The legislation also makes it easier to fire hospital administrators and senior VA executives for negligence or poor performance.

Obama: Situation in Iraqi city demands quick action, official says Continued from Page A-1 Administration officials characterized the dangers facing the Turkmen, who are Shiite Muslims considered infidels by the Islamic State, as similar to the threat faced by thousands of Yazidis, who were driven to Mount Sinjar in Iraq after attacks by the militants. The United Nations special representative for Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, said in a statement three days ago that the situation in Amerli “demands immediate action to prevent the possible massacre of its citizens.” As Obama considered new strikes,

the White House began its diplomatic campaign to enlist allies and neighbors in the region to increase their support for Syria’s moderate opposition and, in some cases, to provide support for possible U.S. military operations. The countries likely to be enlisted include Australia, Britain, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, officials said. The officials, who asked not be named discussing sensitive internal deliberations, said they expected that Britain and Australia would be willing to join the U.S. in an air campaign. The officials said they also want help from

Turkey, which has military bases that could be used to support an effort in Syria. Turkey is a transit route for foreign fighters, including those from the U.S. and Europe who have traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State. Administration officials said they are now asking officials in Ankara to help tighten the border. The administration is also seeking intelligence and surveillance help from Jordan as well as financial help from Saudi Arabia, which bankrolls groups in Syria that are fighting President Bashar Assad. On Monday the Pentagon began sur-

veillance flights over Syria in an effort to collect information on possible Islamic State targets as a precursor to airstrikes, a senior official said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that “non-Syrian spy planes” on Monday carried out surveillance of Islamic State positions in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor. Although America’s allies in the region have plenty of reasons to support an intensified effort against the Islamic State, analysts said, the U.S. will have to navigate tensions among them. “One of the problems is that different countries have different clients

among the fighting groups in Syria,” said Robert S. Ford, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria. “To get them all to work together, the best thing would be for them to pick one client and funnel all the funds through that client. You’ve got to pick one command structure.” But persuading counties to help the U.S. in a military campaign in Syria will require more effort, administration officials said. Turkey, for example, is in the midst of a political transition, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan ascending to the presidency.

MONROVIA, Liberia — Ebola still has the “upper hand” in the outbreak that has killed more than 1,400 people in West Africa, but experts have the means to stop it, a top American health official said during a visit to the hardest-hit countries. Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was in Liberia on Tuesday and later planned to stop in Sierra Leone and Guinea. Nigeria also has cases, but officials there have expressed optimism the virus can be controlled. “Lots of hard work is happening. Lots of good things are happening,” Frieden said at a meeting attended by Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf on Monday. “But the virus still

has the upper hand.” Even as Liberia has resorted to stringent measures to try to halt Ebola’s spread, frustration mounted over the slow collection of bodies from neighborhoods of Monrovia. A group of residents attached plastic ties to the wrists and ankles of one suspected Ebola victim and dragged his corpse to a busy street. Authorities have decreed that all the dead must be collected by government health workers and cremated because contact with bodies can transmit the virus. There is no proven treatment for Ebola, so health workers primarily focus on isolating the sick. But a small number of patients in this outbreak have received an experimental drug called ZMapp. The London hospital treating a British nurse infected in Sierra Leone, Wil-

liam Pooley, said he is now receiving the drug. It was unclear where the doses for Pooley came from. The California-based maker of ZMapp has said its supplies are exhausted. Two Americans, a Spaniard and three health workers in Liberia have received ZMapp. It is unclear if the drug is effective. The Americans have been released from the hospital, but the Spaniard died, as did a Liberian doctor. In Nigeria, two more Ebola patients were declared to have recovered and were released from hospital, Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said Tuesday.

Newsmakers Miley’s homeless date is wanted by police

Miley Cyrus

Jesse Helt

PORTLAND, Ore. — The young homeless man who accompanied Miley Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards has a warrant out for his arrest in Oregon. Jesse Helt, 22, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief, criminal trespass and burglary in 2010. According to court records, he broke into the apartment of a man who had been selling what Helt believed to be bad marijuana. Helt, who was 18 at the time, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief and criminal trespass, both misdemeanors, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and probation. The arrest warrant was issued in November 2011 after he violated probation. Helt moved to Los Angeles and lived on the streets while trying to find work as a model. He gained worldwide attention Sunday when Cyrus let him accept her award for video of the year. “I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost, and scared for their lives right now,” Helt said. “I know this because I am one of these people.” Polk County Director of Community Corrections Martin Silbernagel said Tuesday officials are trying to locate Helt and arrest him.

DAMIAN DOVARGANES THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. eager to cater to Chinese tourists By Amy Taxin The Associated Press

COSTA MESA, Calif. n a hot summer day, nearly two dozen Chinese tourists descended from a white shuttle bus for an afternoon of shopping at one of Southern California’s signature upscale malls. One tourist conferred with a salesman at South Coast Plaza about a plum-colored, $610 Prada handbag while fellow visitors on the 10-day tour sauntered through the mall, each with their sole child in tow, after a morning of whale watching off the California coast. It’s a common scene at the popular destination in Orange County, which is doing what it can to keep buses filled with Chinese tourists coming. To make them feel at home, it accepts China’s UnionPay card and provides Mandarinspeaking salespeople. From the mall’s shops to tourist spots that offer maps and brochures in Mandarin to hotels serving congee, or rice porridge, for breakfast, businesses in California are trying to entice the growing numbers of Chinese tourists coming to the U.S. to visit the state — and spend money. Tourism from China to the U.S. has soared since the countries signed an agreement in 2007 promoting travel. More than 1.8 million Chinese visited last year, a threefold increase in five years. By 2018, the number is expected to surpass 4 million. California, the No. 1 destination, holds particular allure due to its proximity to China, theme parks and sunny weather. Nearly half of all Chinese tourists make a stop in the state. Haybina Hao, of the National Tour Association, which qualifies U.S.-based tour operators to receive Chinese tour groups under the 2007 agreement, said the

tourists are keen to see how a relatively young country like the U.S. developed so quickly and became so prosperous. “Until they have visited USA, they don’t feel they have done their international travel yet,” Hao said. During their travels, they each spend an average of $5,400, which is 21 percent more than the average for all overseas tourists. At first, tours from China mostly included older people, some who had saved for years to make the trip. But now more also include middleaged parents bringing their only child to see America and school groups of teens who tour during summer break. Many are eager to visit Disneyland and snap photographs at landmarks such as the Hollywood sign and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. They enjoy trying American foods — steak is a favorite — and taking advantage of cheaper prices for designer goods. “It’s shopping paradise,” said 35-year-old Cici Chen on a stop at Disney California Adventure. Chen said she planned to fill up her suitcases on her California vacation before returning to Shanghai. Many Chinese tourists see America from large tour buses, while some travel in smaller groups or rent cars to explore on their own. Others come on trips sponsored by employers as job-related perks, and travel in huge groups. A 7,000-strong contingent held a two-day meeting in Southern California earlier this year and then fanned out to travel across the region. Zhang Huan, 42, was among those touring Disney California Adventure with his wife, mother-in-law and 11-year-old son. He said he budgeted $20,000 for the family’s first U.S. trip. He hopes it’s not the last visit for his son. “If he can study hard, he can go to Stanford,” Zhang said.

10 new fall TV shows worthy of first-night look By Frazier Moore The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Here are 10 new series that might catch your fancy: u Red Band Society: (Fox; premieres Sept. 17). A group of teenagers meet as patients in the pediatric ward of a Los Angeles hospital. u Gotham: (Fox; Sept. 22). In an industry where nothing is a sure thing, Gotham turns out to be not only an “origin series” about Batman but also a humdinger of a noir crime thriller. u The Mysteries of Laura: (NBC; Sept. 24). Debra Messing stars as a brilliant, rulesbreaking NYPD homicide detective and harried single mother whose estranged detective-husband becomes her boss (awkward!). u Black-ish: (ABC; Sept. 24). The versatile Anthony Anderson stars as Andre, a determined patriarch who sets out to restore (or is it establish?) a sense of cultural identity for his middle-class African-American family which, he worries, is ethnically unmoored. u How to Get Away with Murder: (ABC; Sept. 25). A legendary attorney is fearless in the courtroom representing society’s worst criminals. Then she’s fearless in the classroom as she drills a noholds-barred philosophy of

law into her students. Murder promises to be twisty, wicked, dark and fun. u Manhattan Love Story: (ABC; Sept. 30). Girl meets guy in the Big Apple. She’s new in town and full of romantic yearnings. He’s a true Gothamite who lives the sporting life. And of course opposites attract. u Bad Judge: (NBC; Oct. 2). Good judge, bad girl: That’s the character Kate Walsh tackles on this new sitcom. Judge Rebecca Wright is unforgiving on the bench but an unapologetic party animal elsewhere. u The Flash: (CW, Oct. 7). A young man named Barry Allen awakens from a coma after being struck by lightning, only to find he has the power of superspeed. Ipso facto, he becomes a superhero. u Jane the Virgin: (CW, Oct. 13). The one-line description of this series seems like a cruelty joke: Jane Villanueva, an effervescent young Miami woman with her eyes trained on the future and her knees clamped virtuously together, is mistakenly impregnated with a specimen meant for someone else. It keeps you guessing what will happen next. u Marry Me: (NBC, Oct. 14). Jake and Annie are a modern version of George Burns and Gracie Allen. On this slender premise hang the ample comic gifts of co-stars Ken Marino and Casey Wilson.

Sophomore year The 2014-15 school year has just begun, and as principal of New Mexico Connections Academy, I couldn’t be more excited for our second year of providing students across the state with an individualized approach to education online. Teachers’ and students’ computers alike are humming with activity. Our students are exploring new learning horizons and getting ready to participate in social and academic clubs. Connections Academy teachers have been busy providing instruction in the online classroom and connecting with their students on an individual level to learn more about them and gain a better understanding of what excites them when it comes to learning. I love hearing from our teachers about these conversations and learning about the unique stories of each of our students within the Connections Academy family.

I Parents appreciate the ability to choose an education option that works best for their students and are expressing overwhelming satisfaction with the quality of education their children receive at the statewide online school. It’s very rewarding to meet the needs of both our students and families, and we at New Mexico Connections Academy look forward to the successes this new school year will bring. Athena Trujillo

Crime coverage What is the big magic of crime? In New Mexico, the fastest path to “fame” is to rob, rape, shoot, abuse and drive drunk. Every day, The New Mexican’s front page is full of that stuff, I am so tired of it. Repeatedly over a week or two, all the dirty details of the crime get reported, the reactions of the family and neighbors, the pictures of the

offenders, the whole shebang of criminal offense. Enough already. There are highly interesting things happening in the world, but they don’t seem to be of interest to the editors who choose stories. What’s wrong about “the right stuff” that could make us hopeful, energetic and motivated? I rarely find it in our daily newspaper. Your reporting is lopsided, please get out of the endless repetition of crime stories in all variations. We need good food for our minds, good hearty stuff to keep up hope. It exists, just go and find it, inform yourselves, give us a break from the local crime scene, please! Shanti Bannwart

At the crossroads We citizens of New Mexico are faced with an important decision. The gubernatorial race is about being pro-citizen or pro-big money. Let Gov. Susana Martinez run on her record.

We are one of the two states that lost jobs at last reporting. We are one of the states with high numbers of hungry children, but the governor doesn’t appear to care. Our students are among the very poorest in academic achievement in the country, as measured by standardized educational test scores. She’s the only governor in the history of the New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women to defund it. After promising transparency, she refuses to turn over subpoenaed materials. Her campaign is greatly financed by out-ofstate mega-money. I also think the governor destroyed the behavioral health system by giving lucrative, more expensive, contracts to out-of-state companies — leaving many with mental health issues without proper care. The decision is ours: Vote for Attorney General Gary King to become the next governor. John Quintana

COMMENTARY: DANIEL J. CARDINALI

Getting kids to school will pay off ARLINGTON, Va. or the 16 million American children living below the federal poverty line, the start of a new school year should be reason to celebrate. Summer is no vacation when your parents are working multiple jobs or looking for one. Many kids are left to fend for themselves in neighborhoods full of gangs, drugs and despair. Given the hardships at home, poor kids might be expected to have the best attendance records, if only for the promise of a hot meal and an orderly classroom. But it doesn’t usually work out that way. According to the education researchers Robert Balfanz and Vaughan Byrnes at Johns Hopkins, children living in poverty are by far the most likely to be chronically absent from school (which is generally defined as missing at least 10 percent of class days each year). Amazingly, the federal government does not track absenteeism, but the state numbers are alarming. In Maryland, for example, 31 percent of high school students eligible for the federal lunch program had been chronically absent; for students above the income threshold, the figure was 12 percent. Thanks to groundbreaking research compiled by Hedy Nai-Lin Chang, the director at Attendance Works, we have ample proof that everything else being equal, chronically absent students have lower grade point averages, lower test scores and lower graduation rates than their peers who attend class regularly. The pattern often starts early. Last year in New Mexico, a third-grade teacher con-

tacted the local affiliate of Communities in Schools, the national organization that I run, for help with a student who had 25 absences in just the first semester. After several home visits, we found that 10 people were living in her two-bedroom apartment, including the student’s mother, who had untreated mental health issues. The little girl often got lost in the shuffle, with no clean clothes to wear and no one to track her progress. Nor was there anything like a quiet place to do homework. Embarrassment and peer pressure turned out to be the most immediate problem. By buying new clothes to replace the girl’s smelly old ones, we were able to help her fit in and get her to school more often. We found additional community resources for both the third grader and her family, including a mentorship group, a housing charity and mental health experts for her mother. As her home life stabilized over the second semester, the absences all but stopped, and at the end of the year she moved up with her class. Her situation is common, but there are nowhere near enough happy endings. That’s because policymakers usually treat dropout rates and chronic absenteeism as “school” problems, while issues like housing and mental health are “social” problems with a different set of solutions. To bridge this divide, our community school model seeks to bring a site coordinator, with training in education or social work, onto the administrative team of every school with a large number of poor kids. That person would be charged with identifying at-risk students and matching

them up with services that are available both in the school and the community. This approach is effective and affordable: At Communities in Schools, which operates in 26 states and the District of Columbia, 75 percent of the students whose cases we manage show improved attendance. We provide our services at an average cost of $189 per student per year, a cost that is shared among government agencies and community partners to minimize the impact on school budgets. It’s relatively easy to find these at-risk students. That’s because poverty is not evenly distributed; it is increasingly concentrated in specific neighborhoods. According to 2012 census estimates, 7.9 million children live in neighborhoods where at least 30 percent of residents are poor. Chronic absenteeism tends to follow the same pattern. In Florida, for instance, 15 percent of public schools are home (or not home) to 52 percent of chronically absent students. This grotesque fact paradoxically makes it easier for us to focus our resources: We can effectively reach the most at-risk students with minimal waste or overlap. Putting social workers in schools is a low-cost way of avoiding bigger problems down the road, analogous to having a social worker in a hospital emergency room. It’s a common-sense solution that will still require a measure of political courage, something that all too often has itself been chronically absent. Daniel J. Cardinali is an Op-Ed contributor to The New York Times.

t was back to school this week at Santa Fe Community College. Most of its students probably aren’t even aware that the community college is undergoing financial challenges — they are busy finding classes, meeting new teachers and moving on toward career or academic goals. Hovering in the background, though, is the reality that the college is facing a $5 million shortfall out of an approximately $35 million annual budget. To bring revenues and expenses into balance, the Governing Board and administrators are moving forward with salary reductions, reduced spending on supplies, targeted layoffs and, coming in January, a $5-per-credit-hour tuition hike. (One small change, but one to note: Bring your own towel when going to the gym.) While the cuts are severe, administrators are putting the institution back on sound financial footing. The state is being asked to pitch in as well. College officials have asked the Higher Education Department for an advance on state funding and has requested a $500,000 loan from the state Board of Finance. We believe the college, despite its current pickle, should be given the help it needs to get through this year without further cutbacks. Those would be damaging both now and in the long term. As interim President Randy Grissom explained it, revenues were projected too high and expenses too low under the administration of his predecessor. (Former President Ana “Cha” Guzmán rejects the notion that her budget estimates were faulty.) A combination of buyouts costing more than expected, generous faculty raises and revenues not being assigned correctly seems to be the culprit, though. We can’t know exactly what happened until an auditor picks through the books, but we do think the college’s previously stellar financial record shows this to be an aberration. The immediate corrective actions are solid, but more needs to be done to prevent any repeat of the current mess. The budget was found to be “out of whack” in December, but just how much and why took months to discover. Part of the delay can be explained by staff turnover in the finance department and at the top, but college administrators need to make sure checks are in place to catch excessive spending or bad projections early. The creation of a Board Finance Committee to oversee the budget is a good first step. Those members need to develop better systems — along with a new financial officer at the college — to catch overspending immediately. As the new year continues, we trust that the feeling of crisis will wane (especially with state financial assistance), and that Grissom, the board and other administrators can work more closely with faculty and staff to develop strategies to save money and run the school. Mutual respect and shared governance have long been a characteristic of SFCC; unilateral, from-the-top decisions might be necessary in a crisis, but should be discarded for more cooperative action as soon as possible.

Jones, president of the School of Mines, this forenoon at the summer school voiced a solemn warning to financiers and bankers as he called attention to the fact that the production of gold has reached its maximum and that there must soon be a financial readjustment that will displace gold as a standard of value.

Heinrich: VA clinic to offer care closer to home New facilities for veterans open to alleviate wait times

U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich greets City Councilor Carmichael Dominguez while former City Councilor Chris Calvert and Heinrich’s Santa Fe field representative, Andrew D. Black, look on. Heinrich visited the city’s new Veterans Affairs facility on Tuesday.

The patter of rain rapped hypnotically on the gleaming exterior of a new clinic for veterans on Santa Fe’s south side Tuesday while U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich joined a swarm inside that marveled at the amenities.

JANE PHILLIPS THE NEW MEXICAN

Nationally and in New Mexico, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has sparked outrage among citizens and lawmakers in recent months over a series of embarrassing revelations about long wait lists for veterans trying to see doctors and underhanded recordkeeping tactics that prolonged those delays only to earn department administrators cash bonuses. Along with legislation Congress recently passed to ease the backlog of veterans awaiting health care, community-based clinics such as the one tentatively set to

Project to settle case faces easement issues, 700 protests Santa Fe County commissioners raised new questions Tuesday about a proposed regional water system that’s key to settling a 45-year-old pueblo water-rights case, even as they approved hiring new employees as needed to manage the operation. Commissioners asked how easements for the regional water lines across pueblo and private lands would be handled. Easement requests by San Ildefonso Pueblo for county roads and electric utility lines already are causing tensions with the community of El Rancho, which falls within the pueblo’s boundaries. Water-line rights of way could spark more conflicts. A settlement for the Aamodt water-rights case is supposed to resolve claims by four pueblos as well as non-pueblo water-rights holders in the Pojoaque-Tesuque-Nambé stream basin north of Santa Fe. The county approved a resolution in 2012 to help fund the multimilliondollar settlement and pay for the county’s portion of a regional water system that would serve the area. The system would draw water from the Rio Grande at a diversion site on San Ildefonso Pueblo land. The system would serve the pueblos of San Ildefonso, Nambé, Tesuque and Pojoaque, and some of the communities up to Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa. The county eventually would operate the regional water system under an agreement with the four pueblos. On Tuesday, the County Commission approved using funds from the sale of water rights that the county owns in Taos County to hire contractors and staff as needed to work on requirements under the settlement. In 2012, the commission approved hiring one new staff member to handle the Aamodt settlement. Since then, however, county staff have realized their duties involving the regional water system are likely to be broader than they originally thought. The duties include managing water resources and the overall project, plus keeping the public informed, according to the resolution approved by commissioners. Although a settlement has been reached in the Aamodt water-rights case, it still needs federal court approval and it’s facing protests filed by more than 700 people. Still, under the settlement, the county and the four pueblos involved in the case have deadlines to meet for the design, easements, construction and operation of the regional water system. Commissioner Danny Mayfield wondered whether the regional water system would have a backup. “I’ve been told there are wells for backup, but I don’t know,” he said at the commission meeting Tuesday. “But I know if we just depend on the native flows in the Rio Grande, that’s not going to work.” Dave Neal, an El Rancho resident, said there are two related compo-

Connecting veterans with health care in their hometowns eases that first step, according to Heinrich. “Some of the reforms that were

oga classes, pool parties with DJs, dharma talks, concerts, mountain biking. They’re all part of the expansive, firstever Santa Fe Yoga Festival, which opens at sundown Thursday on a mesa top at Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa and continues through Sunday afternoon. Between 300 and 500 people are expected at the festival, which will feature 108 classes and 40 yoga presenters. Founder Kurt Young said yogis and yoginis attending the festival will be asked to make a pledge: that everything you were before you got here [doctor, lawyer, teacher] you give up for the weekend. For the weekend, you are a seeker and a lover. He said, “If enough people do this, it will have a corresponding effect on the community, the state and the nation.” Young, founder of the Santa Fe Film Festival in 1999, said he got the idea for the yoga festival after attending one in Aspen, Colo., two years ago with Pamela Serna, another organizer of the Santa Fe event. “She dragged me,” Young said. But in the end, “I was blown away by how many people were trying to be

Infant mortality rates in New Mexico dropped by 22 percent in 2013, the state Department of Health announced Tuesday. In 2013, the state’s rate of infant deaths fell to 5.4 per 1,000 births from 6.9 in 2012. A total of 143 infants died in New Mexico in 2013 compared to 186 in 2012, according to an analysis by the state Vital Records and Health Statistics Bureau. Health Secretary Retta Ward acknowledged that the state’s infant mortality rate fluctuates. “The infant mortality rate in New Mexico can vary substantially from year to year,” she said. “Steep increases or decreases from year to year are not uncommon. The Department of Health will continue working to better understand the causes of infant mortality and implement initiatives to prevent and decrease infant deaths.” For the past two decades, New Mexico’s rate of infant mortality has been fairly stable, according to Mark Kassouf, bureau chief for Vital Records and Health Statistics. “Over the last about 20 years, we’ve only had two spikes that went past the national average, so it’s been a fairly consistent ride for the state in infant mortality,” he said. One of those spikes was in 2012, when New Mexico exceeded the national average of about 6 deaths per 1,000 births. In 2012, the infant mortality rate in the state increased 31 percent from 2011, according to the Health Department. In the years 2009 to 2011, New Mexico averaged 5.3 infant deaths per 1,000 births.

Experts weigh options for N.M. share of Gila River ‘No showstoppers’ among proposals yet, commission chief says By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico is no closer to deciding what to do with its share of water from the Gila River after experts and advocates weighed in Tuesday on more than a dozen proposals that call for everything from building dams and reservoirs along the river to boosting conservation among farmers and residents. The Interstate Stream Commission has to make a decision by the

end of the year. The problem is none of the proposals have risen to the top as the best option, despite more than 200 meetings, volumes of public comment and $3 million spent on studies over the past decade. “At the present time, the staff has found no showstoppers,” said Estevan Lopez, the commission’s director. He said it wouldn’t be prudent for the commission to make any preliminary determinations before the last round of studies are complete in September and October. At stake are tens of millions of dollars in federal funding and a new source of water that some see as a

Former president Joe Shirley Jr. and Arizona Rep. Chris Deschene make it to the November general election By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Navajo President Ben Shelly’s hopes for a second term were dashed Tuesday when he failed to make it through the tribe’s primary election. Navajo voters chose to send former President Joe Shirley Jr. and onetime Arizona Rep. Chris Deschene to the November general election. They were among 17 candidates vying for the top elected post on the country’s largest American Indian reservation. The results are unofficial until certified by the tribe’s elections office. Shirley, of Chinle, sought a third consecutive term in 2010 but was barred by tribal law that states Navajo presidents are limited to two back-to-back terms. He entered this year’s race intent on getting another chance to overhaul the tribal government. Shirley spearheaded the tribe’s first suc-

bers, and the majority of the tribal budget. The president earns $55,000 a year, and wields important influence in Indian Country. Other tribes have looked at the Navajo Nation as a model for incorporating traditional laws into the court system and for securing regulatory authority over air and water from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The president represents the tribe to state, county and federal agencies. However, the post generally is seen as less powerful than the Tribal Council. Candidates do not run on party lines and can receive campaign contributions from Navajos only once they file for the office. Candidates spent long hours campaigning on the 27,000 square-mile reservation that extends into Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and ran political advertisements mostly on the radio. Some of the presidential debates were conducted in Navajo, making it important for candidates to be fluent in the language to capture voters.

Colorado city puts off anti-pot campaign Cage installations for ‘lab rat’ project stalled after concerns arise The Associated Press

BOULDER, Colo. — A provocative anti-marijuana campaign aimed at Colorado youths has angered marijuana activists for its tag line, “Don’t Be a Lab Rat.” Now, a Colorado city is holding off on displaying a human-size cage used in the campaign after a school district raised concerns. The city of Boulder said Tuesday it is putting off the campaign. The city is delaying installation after the Boulder Valley School District said the display was a bad prop for 12to 15-year-olds, The Daily Camera reported. “We had concerns about the use of human-scale rat cages being an effective tool for getting 12- to 15-year-olds to understand the risks involved with their developing brains,” school district spokesman Briggs Gamblin said.

Los Alamos auto accident victims identified as residents of Española The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday identified the victims of a crash in which a vehicle ran off a cliff on N.M. 502 as Zachary Sanchez, 30, of Los Alamos and Andrea Harvier, 31, of Española. The single-vehicle accident happened at about 3 p.m. Monday when the car drove off the Anderson Overlook near Los Alamos and into a canyon, the sheriff’s office said. Harvier suffered life-threatening injuries after she was ejected from the vehicle and deputies say she may not have been wearing a seat belt. She was airlifted to University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque and was in critical condition as of Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said. Sanchez, the driver, was listed in stable condition at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center as of Tuesday afternoon. Deputies were still investigating whether alcohol or drugs was a factor.

tion. “I’m a little surprised, but I would hope that for the sake of the kids or their health, they would at least agree with the intent behind the campaign,” Wolk said. Boulder’s Shawn Coleman, a marijuana industry lobbyist, said the campaign suggested pot use could usher someone behind bars. “The first thing that happens is you see the illusion that cannabis use equals cage. So using marijuana equals jail,” he said. Gamblin said the school district simply worried about how students would take the campaign. “I think the intent came from a really positive place,” Gamblin said. “But we just are not convinced that students would perceive it that way.” Wolk said the “Lab Rat” campaign is funded with private donations and by the Denver city government. It could be a starting point for an upcoming $6 million campaign funded by pot taxes to discourage teen pot use, he said.

Mexico feds pulls migrants from trains Central Americans found fleeing are sent home By Mark Stevenson The Associated Press

ARRIAGA, Mexico — U.S.bound Central Americans are fleeing urban areas and hiking into the woods and low jungle for fear of being detained by Mexican officials rounding up migrants in southern Mexico. Until recently, the streets of Arriaga bustled with migrants who would stay at cheap flophouses and shelters and hop aboard the northbound freight trains at will. The streets of the city of about 40,000 people now look empty. Federal official Humberto Mayans said Tuesday that immigration officials have pulled 6,000 migrants off the trains they call “The Beast” but offered no details on the roundups. “We won’t allow in any way for them to board the trains,” Mayans told Radio Formula. He was recently appointed to head the federal government’s southern border improvement plans. Mexico’s Interior Department said in a statement later Tuesday that the migrants were from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador and had been returned to their countries. Mexican officials say the raids seek to ensure migrants’ safety, arguing that they often fall or are pushed off the train by criminal gangs that kidnap, rape, kill and extort money. But that claim was met with jeers by Central Americans camping out Tuesday in the jungle near Arriaga. “That’s a lie. It doesn’t make

Central American migrants shelter under trees Tuesday as they wait for a northbound freight train along the overgrown train tracks several miles outside Arriaga in Chiapas state, Mexico. Migrants, who until recently boarded trains openly in Arriaga, have now fled in the face of Mexican immigration raids, hiking into the woods and low jungle for fear of being swept up and deported.

If they detain 100, another 300, 400 will come,” Villalta said. Guatemalan migrant Guillermo Sismit, 38, who was deported from Miami and is

trying to return to his two children in the U.S., was among about a dozen other migrants camped out near the tracks around two miles outside of Arriaga, sleeping on pieces of cardboard and drinking water from a nearby stream. “Before we could stay in the town, but now we’re exposed to everything in the woods, the animals, the police, the thieves, the narcos,” Sismit said. Masked police and Mexican immigration agents started raids in Arriaga about two weeks ago, residents said, sometimes even sweeping up Mexicans carrying backpacks or with tattoos, often a sign of gang affiliation.

Luis Fernando Martinez, a 20-year-old unemployed Arriaga resident who almost got swept up in the raids, said he has seen masked federal police officers and at least seven immigration vehicles during the roundups. “They come looking for anyone who has a tattoo,” he said, pointing to a small tattoo on his hip that almost got him picked up.

Other factors that could have contributed to infant deaths also were higher in 2012 than in past years, according to Camille Clifford, an epidemiologist with Vital Records and Health Statistics. “On the maternal side, there were things like accessibility to care,” she said. “There was a significant increase in mothers that had no prenatal care or a low level of prenatal care compared to the prior three years.” Also in 2012, the state experienced an abnormally high number of infant deaths associated with young mothers — teens and women 34 and younger, Clifford said. “When we analyzed the data, we saw that there was more infant mortality among teenage mothers than there was during the prior three years,” she said. New Mexico’s teen birth rate is declining, but it remains the highest in the nation. Analysis of infant mortality data in New Mexico during 2013 is pending and expected to generate a new report later this year. Contact Patrick Malone at 986-3017 or pmalone@ sfnewmexican.com.

DENVER — Some people in normally laid-back Crested Butte, Colo., are not up for “Whatever” — a secretive Bud Light plan to paint their mountain town blue and turn it into a fantasy town for an online and television ad campaign. The company has agreed to pay the town $250,000 to fence off its main street and bring in more than 1,000 revelers to the town of 1,500 for the Sept. 5-7 event being promoted on social media, The Denver Post reported.

For the Elkettes, many coaches, many state titles By James Barron

The New Mexican

JACONA — (Insert name). That’s not a typo, but a sign of the instability that has plagued one of the most successful volleyball programs in the state. For the past four falls, a different face and a different voice guided the Pojoaque Valley Elkettes to unprecedented heights. Five head coaches for three Class AAA (now AAAA) titles. Only Garry Morrow doesn’t have a state title to show for his work, because he lasted but two months before resigning prior to the start of the 2012 season.

Brian Ainsworth. Joey Trujillo. Eric Zamora. They all can call themselves “state champions.” For the 2014 season, insert Miquella Lovato’s name in front of the “head coach” title. Last fall, she was flying across the court at Johnson Gym on The University of New Mexico campus as the senior libero for the Lobos. This fall, she wears

a whistle around her neck as she aims to continue what she ironically started five years ago. A team that was mostly undersized but never overwhelmed showed that no one in the state, regardless of classification, could beat it in 2009. Pojoaque went 23-1 (its lone loss to a team from Arizona) and won the first state title that has now grown into five. Lovato was its leader, the stealthy libero who earned the nickname “Little Ninja” for her ability to pop out of nowhere and dig a potential kill into another frustratingly long rally.

hen you’re coming off three straight undefeated regular seasons, the expectations tend to be a little more than sky high. Eh, not so fast, says Joey Fernandez. The St. Michael’s head football coach, whose Horsemen open the season Saturday night in Ivan Head Stadium against Santa Fe High, cautions about the idea of extending

that streak to four straight 10-0 campaigns. “We’re young, but it’s the inexperience that we’re dealing with the most,” he said. “There’s only one way to get experience, and that’s getting kids out there. Right now we’re just trying to do what we can to get them ready.” The Horsemen, who lost the 2011 state championship game to Lovington, then won the title two years ago against Silver before suffering a shocking upset loss to Las Vegas Robertson in last season’s quarterfinals, return just four starters on either side of the ball.

NEW YORK — While 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis was in the process of stunning a Grand Slam finalist to become the youngest player to win a U.S. Open match since 1996, her father did his best to conceal his emotions courtside. Like many a teen, CiCi has strict rules for Dad in public — even if his 1,208th-ranked daughter is pulling out a back-and-forth 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory Tuesday over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova in the first round at Flushing Meadows. “I’m told I cannot sigh and I cannot move or say anything [because] that distracts her, so I just have to sit there like a Sphinx and just smile and pray,” the elder Bellis, Gordon, explained with a deadpan delivery. “She hears me when I sigh. So I can’t sigh.” Ah, yes, the joys of raising kids. And make no mistake, Bellis is a kid. She is home-schooled and about to start 10th grade. Her first memory of the U.S. Open is watching on

to do it, and you have to make it stick. I don’t recall hearing a single swear at the soccer match on Monday. This goes to show how much more casual soccer is. St. Michael’s junior goalkeeper Connor Burnham, who has no previous varsity experience, was struggling against Capital and let a goal by Jaguars forward Jesus Garcia slip right through his hands in the ninth minute. When St. Michael’s senior defender Joey Najjar started giving him an earful in the first half, Brown told Najjar to keep everything positive with his new ’keeper. If Brown was a football coach, it might have not gone down that way. This was during a match, mind you,

and while in Taos on Aug. 21 to cover the football team’s scrimmages against Escalante and Raton, head coach Flavio Lopez was getting on his players for making little mistakes. This could relate to a heightened sense of urgency in football. Since there are fewer games played on the gridiron than any other sport, the need to win is more immediate. I can tell you that no football coach or players likes to lose a football game, because a week’s worth of hard work and preparation just went down the tubes. After the Horsemen lost to Capital 4-1 on Monday, Brown was mostly positive, and he said his team didn’t need to play well until the “tail end of the season.”

While Brown wasn’t necessarily expecting to beat the Jaguars — instead using the match as a learning experience for his younger players — I can guarantee Lopez will expect his team to be perfect when it opens up the season Friday night at Bernalillo. But regardless of the two coaches’ styles, they both want their teams to be crowned champions at the end of the season, and both have a legitimate shot. There are a lot of similarities between the two sports. Both require 11 players to be on the field at the same time, and both require strong teamwork in order to be successful. But the differences between the two are night and day.

NBA

Lovestruck: Star forward pledges commitment to Cavs LeBron James began recruiting him 2 years ago By Tom Withers The Associated Press

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Kevin Love’s phone rang in July and LeBron James asked the All-Star forward if he wanted to play with him in Cleveland. “I’m in,” Love told James. For the long haul. Getting used to a new city and new team after being acquired by the Cavaliers on Saturday, Love said he’s committed to winning an NBA title with the Cavaliers — however long it takes. Love, who didn’t make the playoffs

during six sometimes rocky seasons with Minnesota, can opt out of his contract and become a free agent next summer. But 25-year-old Love, regarded as the game’s top “spacing” forward, said he intends to stay with James and the Cavs. “I’m committed to this team, committed long term to the end goal and that’s to win championships,” he said. Cleveland is smitten with its newest superstar. Love was introduced Tuesday by the Cavs, who acquired him in a blockbuster, three-team trade that instantly turned Cleveland, which won just 33 games last season, into an NBA championship favorite. The deal also

gives the team a starpowered trio in Love, James and Kyrie Irving. Love and James became friends two summers ago as U.S. Olympic teammates Kevin Love in London. It was there, while chasing a gold medal together, that James began recruiting Love, who wasn’t sure what to make of the four-time league MVP’s overtures. “Sitting next to me, a locker really close to me and he would always tell me how good he thought I was,” Love said. “For me I would just kind of

brush it off and shake it off because I was standoffish because I didn’t know him well.” James persisted and after more conversations, Love realized there could be a time when their careers could intersect again. “I thought that one day maybe I could play with LeBron James,” he said. And now that Love is gone, the Timberwolves are left to rebuild around No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins and last year’s top pick, Anthony Bennett, two young players they were able to pry from Cleveland. Love didn’t leave the Timberwolves on the best of terms. He was the face

of the franchise, and Minnesota is where he developed into one of the game’s top rebounders and scorers, a dual threat from inside and out. But the years of losing wore on him and it was no secret that he wanted out. Still, Love said he’ll look back on his first NBA home as a positive experience. “The people of Minnesota were great, the fans were great, they showed up, win, lose or draw, and I really developed a lot of relationships all the way down through the organization,” he said. “It was a great six years, and I enjoyed my time, and I can’t say enough good things about it.”

St. Mike’s: 3 straight 10-0 regular seasons Continued from Page B-5 still hasn’t settled on a starting signal caller. Junior Isaac Chavez and sophomore Chross Jaramillo have been alternating reps with the first team all throughout the preseason. After Tuesday’s practice, held during a steady rain on the school’s baseball field, Fernandez said he’ll likely platoon the pair until one separates himself. “I think we both have our own strengths,” Jaramillo said. “[Chavez] is more confident and calm in the pocket and maybe I throw the ball a little better. We each do some good things.” So good that the Horsemen are altering their approach on offense this season. Known as an innovator with the X’s and O’s, Fernandez is adding a few wrinkles to fit the qualities of both quarterbacks. It certainly doesn’t hurt that there are a pair of viable running backs to handle their share of the load. Returning starter Nathanyel Leyba has the potential to be one of the top backs in all of Class AAAA, while Xavier Vigil will get more than his fair share of carries. Along the line is a cast a familiar names and faces. Chief among them are senior tackle Chad McNamara and class-

mate Ryan Ortiz, the starting center. McNamara holds down the right side of that line alongside guard Antonio Garcia, the strongest player on the team. The big question is whether Ortiz’s surgically repaired knee can hold up over the long haul. He spent months going through rehabilitation and reported to preseason camp at 284 pounds. “I’m really not too worried about the kids up front,” Fernandez said. “Our front seven on defense has done a real good job so far. We’re working on our DBs, but I think we’ll be all right.” Vigil is the player to watch on defense. A starter last year as a freshman, he has established himself as the latest in a long line of quality linebackers for a program that has had plenty of them over the years. Schematically, Fernandez said the defense likely won’t change its approach. As for the intangibles, those seem to change by the second for the Horsemen. Now a member of District 4AAAA with not-so-regional rivals Portales, Ruidoso, New Mexico Military Institute and Albuquerque Hope Christian, they will have their work cut out for them between now and the playoffs. “[The New Mexico Activi-

ties Association] keeps trying to make things tough, it seems like,” Fernandez said. “But we’ll play these tough teams. We’ll make the long road trips. We want these games anyway, so we’ll just go out and play them.” OUTLOOK Coming off three straight 10-0 regular seasons, the Horsemen know what it’s like to live with a target on their backs. Expect the defense to again be one of the toughest in the state. As for the offense, look for Leyba to be the feature back in a two-pronged rushing game that will feature plenty of Vigil

Elkettes: Poll site ranks Pojoaque No. 1 Continued from Page B-5 Sofia Lucero remembers her new coach that way, as the then seventh-grader was awed by what she and the rest of the state witnessed. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, one day I’m going to be her,’ ” said Lucero, now a senior setter for the Elkettes. “I want to be that crazy person who sticks one arm out and gets the ball perfectly to the target.” Lovato herself can’t believe she is back in her old stomping grounds, coaching girls whom she probably saw and might have even taught at volleyball camp not so long ago. The symmetry of her homecoming is hard for her to grasp. “I feel like time just flies by,” Lovato said. “Just a year ago, I was at UNM playing volleyball. It’s crazy to think how fast it’s gone, just seeing these girls grow up. They were in the seventh or eighth grade when I was a senior, so I was a kid when they were still kids. It’s funny to think about that.” Just to sprinkle a little more irony into the mix, the team Lovato inherits reminds her

of that 2009 team that started it all. After spending the past four seasons defending the state title with one set of heavy hitters after another, Pojoaque finds itself reaching back to its smaller-statured days to find a formula that will continue its dynasty. If anyone can embody that, though, it’s Lovato, who still gets out on the court with her team sometimes — partly to teach, but sometimes to compete. Lucero is a believer, just from what Lovato has done with her career, which included playing all four years at UNM. “There’s a lot out there, and if you push yourself and work hard enough, anything is possible,” Lucero said. “She went out there and did amazing stuff at UNM. Now, she’s coming here and teaching that to us.” Amazing, though, ends when it comes to the Class AAAA field. The website New Mexico Overtime Sports Center conducted a preseason coaches poll, and Pojoaque earned the top spot in it. That’s an indi-

cator that no one in AAAA believes that Pojoaque is on a downward slide just yet. Perhaps it’s also a sign of respect the program has earned by continuing to win state titles despite the coaching turnover. It continued this summer when Eric Zamora resigned in late June to return to Roswell and care for his ailing wife. The Elkettes seemed to take it in stride, although the merry-goround of coaches is a bit frustrating for the players. “It’s still tough,” Lucero said. “With any loss, and any gain, it’s going to be an adjustment no matter what. But this team has built such a bunker mentality that we’re like, ‘Oh, OK. Let’s start over again.’ ” Lucero will be at the front and center of that reboot, as the All-State setter will be the leader of the team. She is the lone returning starter on a team that lost fellow All-State hitters Kristin Woody and Cheyenne Law, who combined for 651 of the Elkettes’ 1,032 kills last season. By comparison, Pojoaque’s top returning hitter, Micah Espinoza, had 41.

Which brings Lovato back to that 2009 team. “One thing this team reminds me of, which is exciting, is my senior year,” Lovato said. “We didn’t have a big hitter. We didn’t have somebody who could put it straight down. We never got excited from a big kill. We got it from big digs or big saves. That was our excitement. That’s where we got our energy from. And that’s where this team has got to get it from.” It’s the one strength the Elkettes do return, with Espinoza, Lucero and Kyra Romero all recording more than 100 digs last season. But Espinoza will be looked upon to hit more at the net, along with Daniella Martinez. Still, what is clear is that the Elkettes will have to grind its way to hoist a sixth straight blue trophy, but they don’t mind. “Just because we don’t have the height doesn’t mean we can’t adjust to it,” Lucero said. After all, they’ve handled adjusting to (insert name) just fine.

Northern New Mexico volleyball district capsules By James Barron The New Mexican

Here are the district outlooks for Northern New Mexico teams for the 2014 season: DISTRICT 2AAAAAA Of all the teams at Santa Fe High, the volleyball team stands the best chance of performing well in its inaugural season in Class AAAAAA. The Demonettes lost middle blocker Hannah Hargrove (to graduation) and Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage (to basketball and a knee injury), but sophomore Elena Gonzales (5-foot-11) and junior Rayanna Bonnell (5-10) add some depth. Brandi Fulgenzi and Kayla Herrera will be key components to Santa Fe High’s attack, while Shania Borrego steps into Shannon Bates’ role at setter. The Demonettes were ranked eighth in the nmotsc.com (New Mexico Overtime Sports Center) coaches poll, so they are getting respect. DISTRICT 2AAAAA Move over Los Alamos. A new day is here and it shines on “The Valley.” Española Valley is the odds-on favorite to repeat as district champion after ending Los Alamos’ six-year reign. Outside hitter and district player of the year Elana Salazar returns for her senior season, and she will have help in senior middle blocker Brittany Gallegos and outside hitter Kaitlyn Romero, who will play pretty much everywhere on the course. The Lady Hilltoppers are young (only one senior) and have plenty of size up front in sophomore Jessica Moore, plus juniors Halie Street and Brianna Montano, but can the back row get the ball to them? Undersized Capital might be the dark horse of the district, with its scrappy play and ability to dig hits to extend points. DISTRICT 2AAAA Even though the Elkettes of Pojoaque Valley endure its fifth head coach in the past four seasons, this is the utmost sign of respect for the five-time state champions: They were voted No. 1 in the AAAA poll.

Pojoaque lacks the dynamic hitters that the past three teams have had, but it has senior Sofia Lucero at setter to set the tone for a more defensive-oriented and quicker approach being preached by head coach Miquella Lovato. At No. 2 in the poll is West Las Vegas, which also has a new coach in Karli Salazar, the daughter of Española head coach Damon Salazar. The Lady Dons are a young team, led by sophomore setter Sarah Gold and junior outside hitter Deanna Bustos, West Las Vegas returns a young unit that will challenge the Elkettes in district play — and beyond. West Las Vegas graduate Daniella Montoya takes over crosstown rival Robertson’s program, and she has some size up front in junior Hannah Lopez (5-10) and senior Alicia Arguello (5-7). Emily Compton is in her second year at Taos, trying to revive a program that has languished at the bottom of the district standings since moving down in class in 2010. DISTRICT 5AAAA The road to the 5AAAA title runs through Albuquerque Hope Christian, but the district will be a minefield. Fellow Albuquerque school Sandia Preparatory returns virtually all of its roster, as does St. Michael’s and Santa Fe Indian School, while Bosque School was the AA state runner-up moving up to AAAA. The Lady Horsemen reached the state tournament after a two-year hiatus and return hitters Alli Berhost, Latysha Archuleta and Ellie Breeden. SFIS has a junior-laden lineup, led by outside hitter RanDee Toya and defensive specialist Alicianna Martinez, and is the dark horse of the district and the state. DISTRICT 2AAA It’s now or never for the senior-dominated Blue Griffins at Santa Fe Preparatory. Seven seniors dot the roster of a team that comes into the season ranked third in AAA by the coaches. The main reason is the one-two punch of Desiray Anderson and Joy Maran. The key to success, though, will

come from who can support the dynamic duo. The Pecos Lady Panthers lost some size to graduation, but they have plenty of potential returning in sophomores Megan Armijo and Brooke Gallegos plus senior setter Cassie C de Baca, who once again will play in all sports at the school. Desert Academy makes the unfortunate jump from A to AAA, but this might be the team to handle it with seniors Tori Heath, Cassidy Hart and Abby Tiarks to provide leadership. Monte del Sol brings in a new coach, Pablo Cerquera, to replace Alfredo Lujan. DISTRICT 2AA The one benefit to classification and realignment is this district, which is loaded with rivalries. Mora looks to be the favorite heading into the season, with 5-10 junior Brianna Pacheco and 5-5 outside hitter Korazon Romero leading the way. McCurdy has seniors Tenisha Velasquez, Lynette Torres and Maria Elena Rendon to give the Lady Bobcats strength at the net. Questa lost seven seniors from a 17-3 team, but returning senior Delena Trujillo gives the Lady Wildcats some size it otherwise lacks. Peñasco is looking for its first win since the 2012 season, while Escalante fields a squad that has no underclassmen. Mesa Vista might be the wild card, with four seniors to lead a relatively young lineup. DISTRICT 1A With the “B” permanently removed, Santa Fe Waldorf will try to add a District 1A title to the two 5B titles it won the previous two seasons. It is a senior-laden group, led by outside hitter Cecelia Barnard and setter Keifer Nace. Coronado moves into the district with a new coach in Bill McLaughlin and a strong back row led by Nicole Velasquez and a strong hitter in Angel Martinez. New Mexico School for the Deaf has a rising hitter in sophomore Janell Miller and a pair of returning players in Jaelyn Sanchez and Amberley Luna.

Isotopes lose to RedHawks 13-6 Alex Guerrero hit two solo home runs in his first two atbats, but they weren’t enough as the Albuquerque Isotopes fell Tuesday to the Oklahoma City RedHawks 13-6 on the road in a Pacific Coast League baseball game. The Isotopes (59-78) had a 2-1 lead after 2½ innings, but they allowed the RedHawks to score six runs in the bottom of the third and four more in the next frame to fall in an 11-4 hole at the end of four innings. After Guerrero hit his long balls in the second and fourth innings, left fielder Joc Pederson added a solo shot in the top of the ninth for his 33rd home run of the season. The Isotopes play one more game in Oklahoma City before returning to Albuquerque on Thursday to play the final four games of the season against the Las Vegas 51s. The New Mexican

2-run homer in 9th gives Royals win

Cowboys’ Bryant: No contract talks during season

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, giving Kansas City a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins and helpRoyals 2 ing the Royals avoid their first three-game Twins 1 skid since mid-July. The Royals had been shut down all night by the Twins’ Ricky Nolasco, who scattered three hits over seven innings. But after going quietly in the eighth, the AL Central leaders managed to break through against closer Glen Perkins (3-1) in the ninth. Alcides Escobar led off the inning with a blooper to shallow right for a single, and Gordon followed by swatting the second pitch he saw over the right-field wall for his 10th homer of the season. Wade Davis (7-2) earned the win with a perfect ninth inning in relief. INDIANS 8, WHITE SOX 6 (10 INNINGS) In Chicago, Zach Walters hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning, lifting Cleveland to a victory over the sliding White Sox. Pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall doubled to lead off the 10th against Jake Petricka (0-4), and after failing to sacrifice Chisenhall to third, Walters hit a 3-2 pitch well into the right-field bleachers to give the Indians the lead. Bryan Shaw (5-3) pitched 2⅓ scoreless innings in relief for the win, keeping Cleveland 5½ games behind Kansas City in the AL Central. Chicago lost its seventh straight and saw Petricka give up a go-ahead home run in his second consecutive appearance after allowing Brian McCann’s 10th inning walk-off Sunday against the New York Yankees. RED SOX 11, BLUE JAYS 7 (11 INNINGS) In Toronto, Mike Napoli and Allen Craig both homered in a seven-run 11th inning, Dustin Pedroia homered and had four RBIs and Boston beat the Blue Jays. Boston broke away from a 4-all tie for its second straight victory following an eightgame losing streak. Toronto fell to 6-16 in August and, at 66-66, dropped to .500 for the first time since May 15. ASTROS 4, ATHLETICS 2 In Houston, Chris Carter hit his 32nd homer, a three-run drive in the eighth inning that lifted the Astros over Oakland. Oakland starter Jason Hammel had retired 10 straight batters when he was replaced by Luke Gregerson (3-3) for the eighth inning. Robbie Grossman reached on an error by first baseman Stephen Vogt with one out and Gregerson hit Jose Altuve with a pitch. Carter then launched a 90 mph fastball onto the tracks atop the wall in left field to put Houston on top. Josh Fields (4-6) pitched a scoreless eighth for the win and Chad Qualls did the same in the ninth for his 15th save. ORIOLES 4, RAYS 2 In Baltimore, Jonathan Schoop singled in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, and Caleb Joseph had two RBIs as the Orioles beat fading Tampa Bay. Nelson Cruz had two hits and drove in a run for the AL East-leading Orioles, who improved to 10-4 against Tampa Bay. Baltimore relievers gave up one hit over the final 4⅓ innings. Evan Longoria had two RBIs for the Rays, who have lost seven of 10 since reaching the .500 mark on Aug. 15. Tampa Bay stranded nine and had two runners thrown out at the plate. With the game tied at two in the sixth, Schoop delivered a two-out RBI single off Grant Balfour (1-6). Balfour signed with Baltimore in January, but the contract was

voided when he failed the physical. TIGERS 5, YANKEES 2 In Detroit, Rick Porcello pitched eight impressive innings, and the Tigers snapped New York’s five-game winning streak, beating the Yankees. Porcello (15-8) joined teammate Max Scherzer as the American League’s only 15-game winners, allowing two runs and nine hits. The 25-year-old right-hander threw a shutout in his previous start against Tampa Bay, and he blanked the Yankees until Jacoby Ellsbury’s homer in the fifth. Ellsbury added another solo shot in the eighth. Brandon McCarthy (5-3) dealt with some uncharacteristic control problems in the second, and he ended up allowing five runs and nine hits in 6⅓ innings. Joe Nathan pitched a perfect ninth for Detroit for his 28th save in 34 chances. First baseman Miguel Cabrera made two nice plays to close out the win. NATIONAL LEAGUE GIANTS 3, ROCKIES 0 In San Francisco, Madison Bumgarner pitched a one-hitter,and the Giants beat Colorado to snap a three-game losing streak. The two-time All-Star retired the first 21 batters before Justin Morneau doubled down the right field line to end the bid for perfection. That was the only baserunner that Bumgarner (15-9) gave up. He fanned the next three hitters and matched his career high of 13 strikeouts. San Francisco’s husky left-hander was attempting to follow Tim Lincecum’s nohitter at AT&T Park on June 25 against San Diego with another milestone evening for a sellout crowd of 41,050 on a pristine Bay Area evening. His 103-pitch gem helped the Giants move a game ahead of St. Louis in the wild card race. Matt Cain is the last Giants pitcher to throw a perfect game, on June 13, 2012. PIRATES 5, CARDINALS 2 In Pittsburgh, pinch-hitter Ike Davis launched a tiebreaking, three-run homer off Seth Maness in the eighth inning Tuesday night, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2. The Pirates won after reigning NL MVP Andrew McCutchen left in the fifth inning because of discomfort in his left ribs. Recently on the disabled list because of a rib problem, the center fielder ran into the wall earlier in the game.

Davis sent a 2-2 pitch from Maness (5-3) deep over the fence in right-center for his ninth home run of the season and his third as a pinch-hitter. Tony Watson (9-1) couldn’t protect an early lead after six-plus dominant innings by starter Gerrit Cole, but picked up the win. Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his 23rd save. CUBS 3, REDS 0 In Cincinnati, Travis Wood pitched six innings of two-hit ball against his former team for his first win in two months, leading Chicago to a victory over Johnny Cueto and the Reds. Arismendy Alcantara hit a two-run shot and Anthony Rizzo connected for his 30th homer for the Cubs, who have won four in a row for the first time since June 30-July 4. Cincinnati was shut out for the 12th time this season. Cueto (15-8) struck out eight in 6⅓ innings in his second straight loss after winning seven consecutive decisions. Wood (8-11) struck out five and walked one. METS 3, BRAVES 2 In New York, Juan Lagares hit a two-run homer and ran down one ball after another in center field, sending Dillon Gee and the Mets to a victory over Atlanta. Gee stopped the longest losing streak of his career at five games, outpitching Alex Wood in the opener of a three-game series. Lagares, rated one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball, scurried from gap to gap and finished with seven putouts. One of them was spectacular — he robbed Wood of a base hit with a diving, tumbling grab in shallow center to end the third inning. Lagares also began the game by running a long way to track down consecutive fly balls, and he made all three putouts in the sixth. PHILLIES 4, NATIONALS 3 In Philadelphia, Freddy Galvis and Darin Ruf homered, and Carlos Ruiz drove in goahead run with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly to lead the Phillies to a victory over Washington. Ken Giles (3-1) struck out the side in a scoreless eighth to help the Phillies to their fifth win in six games. Asdrubal Cabrera homered for the Nationals, who lost consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 4-5. Cole Hamels took a lead into the eighth before giving up a leadoff homer to Cabrera. The left-hander was lifted for Giles after that batter, finishing with three runs allowed on eight hits with five strikeouts and a walk.

PREP ROUNDUP

Despite early jitters, Demonettes win opener The New Mexican

The Santa Fe High volleyball team opened its season in a short, sweet style Tuesday night, which is a far cry from the past two openers. SFHS 3 The Demonettes Valencia 0 swept Valencia 25-22, 25-14, 25-25 in a nondistrict match in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium; a marked improvement from the five-game marathons the two teams played to open the previous two seasons. But it wouldn’t be opening night without some jitters, and head coach Sam Estrada showed his in the opening game. He filled out the wrong rotation with which to start the match, and Santa Fe High trailed 6-1 to start before grinding away at the margin. “It’s the the first match of the season, so there were a little bit of nerves,” Estrada said. “I made a mistake on the lineup for the first rotation, and put Lindsay [Varoz] in the wrong spot.” There was little wrong with the middleblocking duo of Elena Gonzales and Rayanna Bonnell, who combined for six solo blocks and provided a strong wall against the Lady Jaguars hitters. Freshman Brandi Fulgenzi led the Demonettes’ hitting attack with 11 kills, while Kayla Herrera and Monte Ortega each added nine. The two-setter system also worked out well, with Shania Borrego collecting 13

assists and Isabella Christian-Padilla adding 12. Still, Estrada would rather settle on one setter. “We’re going to see how it goes,” Estrada said. “I’m not to crazy about a 6-2 [offense], but we’ll see if somebody develops further than the other one.” BOYS SOCCER MONTE DEL SOL 4, EAST MOUNTAIN 0 Four seniors — Skye Dascher, Shalto Dascher, Irwin Flores and Omar Ndiaye — scored goals to help the Dragons beat the Timberwolves in a nondistrict match on a slippery and wet field in Sandia Park. The Dragons (3-1) controlled possession for most of the match and kept the pressure off goalkeeper Javi Castillo, who only had to make a few saves. “We dominated on all fronts,” Monte del Sol head coach Mazatl Galindo said. “They didn’t have enough attack and enough pressure, and we created a lot of opportunities.” Monte del Sol doesn’t play until it travels to Albuquerque Bosque School on Sept. 2. The Bobcats made it to the Class A-AAA semifinals last year and won state championships in 2008 and 2009. “We feel thrilled that we can play teams like that,” Galindo said. GIRLS SOCCER EAST MOUNTAIN 5, MONTE DEL SOL 1 A goal in the first 15 minutes gave the

visiting Lady Dragons an early lead. Too bad the match had another 65 minutes. That was more than enough for the Lady Timberwolves to score five unanswered goals for the nondistrict win in the season opener for both teams. Jaquelin Galaviz got things going with the first goal of the match, breaking free on a long pass up the field for an unassisted goal. East Mountain recovered to take a 3-1 lead at halftime, then added two more goals in the second half. BOSQUE SCHOOL 3, LOS ALAMOS 2 (OT) Here’s the thing about young teams: They can look good and bad in the span of moments. The Lady Hilltoppers offered evidence of that against the Lady Bobcats at a soggy Sullivan Field. Bosque took advantage of defensive lapse by Los Alamos (0-2) to take leads of 1-0 and 2-1 after a scoreless first half, then winning it off a free kick from 25 yards out that hit the crossbar and bounced into the net. First-year head coach A.J. Herrera chalked it up to inexperience. “We only have three seniors, two of whom have varsity experience,” Herrera said. “My juniors have varsity experience, but then I have a lot of sophomores and freshmen. These are things to be expected when you have the roster that I have.” Los Alamos junior Catie McDonald had her feet on both goals, assisting Abby Schmalz in the 50th minute and then tying the match at 2-all in the 80th minute.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dez Bryant couldn’t stop smiling at the luxury watches that are more expensive than some cars, far removed from his days as a troubled rookie facing a lawsuit over unpaid jewelry bills. The Dallas Cowboys were giving their star receiver the fancy timepiece as a reward for being among just four players chosen to attend a news conference announcing a partnership with the Swiss manufacturer Hublot. Bryant beamed for the cameras during Monday night’s ritzy event at the $1.2 billion home of the Cowboys, and then offered one more illustration of his transformation. While reiterating that he wants to be paid like a big-time receiver, he wants negotiations to stop before the Sept. 7 opener against San Francisco with or without deal. Why? Because a player who was the king of distractions four years ago doesn’t want to be “distracted” once the regular season starts. “I don’t want to talk about it anymore,” Bryant said. “Put it behind me. I love this game. Either way, I feel like I can’t be distracted once I’m on the football field.” The fifth-year receiver is entering the final year of his rookie contract after Tyron Smith, drafted a year later and one of the teammates joining him for the watch presentation, recently got an eight-year extension that pushed the value of his deal to more than $100 million. Bryant has a base salary of $1.8 million in 2014, and the average of the highest-paid receivers is around $12 mil-

lion per year. The 25-yearold believes he belongs in that company. “I believe a player should get Dez Bryant paid what he deserves,” said Bryant, who is tied for the league lead with 25 touchdowns over the past two seasons. “If I’m top five, I’m top five. If I’m top three, I’m top three. If I’m top two, I’m top two.” Owner Jerry Jones, not one to offer many details on negotiations, didn’t reject Bryant’s suggestion that there was a “big chance” a deal could be done by the end of next week. Bryant’s agent, Eugene Parker, didn’t return a call seeking comment. “He’s got a good sense of it,” Jones said at Monday’s event, which was also attended by tight end Jason Witten and running back DeMarco Murray. “He obviously feels in the right circumstances he wants to get something done. We do, too.” Bryant’s tumultuous first two years with the Cowboys included jewelry lawsuits that were settled, a baggy pants incident at an upscale Dallas mall and a domestic disturbance charge over an incident with his mother. He’s also created stirs with a variety of sideline antics. While the sideline shows are more recent, the brushes with the law are now at least two years old. And he says a big contract won’t change him. “I’m here to take care of my family,” says Bryant, who has two young sons. “That’s all I ever wanted to do, is take care of my family. I know how to survive with nothing.”

Bellis: Williams, Federer post wins Continued from Page B-5 TV while Maria Sharapova played. She likes to hang out at the mall with friends back home in California. Asked whether she’s a fan of pop star Justin Bieber, Bellis answered, “I used to like him when I was younger, a couple years ago.” Her victory was part of a 9-4 showing by American women Tuesday, including 8-0 against unseeded opponents. In an all-American match at night, another teen, Taylor Townsend, lost quickly to two-time defending champion Serena Williams 6-3, 6-1. “We have such an amazing future,” Williams said about U.S. women’s tennis. “We have so much to look forward to.” Her win came after Roger Federer beat Marinko Matosevic 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4) with Michael Jordan sitting in Federer’s guest box in Arthur Ashe Stadium. “Growing up, he was my big sporting idol,” Federer said. “Having him here is unbelievably special.” Aside from the Williams sisters, American tennis fans have not had much reason to cheer for their own in the latter stages of major tournaments in recent years. That’s why the occasional run by a young U.S. player — think Melanie Oudin, wearing “Believe” on her sneakers in 2009 — stirs interest at Flushing Meadows. “Believing was the No. 1 thing that I had to do today,” said Bellis, whose nickname CiCi is derived from the initials of her first and middle names, Catherine Cartan. Bellis plans on playing in the U.S. Open junior tournament. She lost in the third round of that event last year; she lost in the first round of

the Wimbledon juniors last month. But on Tuesday, there she was in front of a supportive, overflowing crowd on Court 6 at Flushing Meadows, taking it to Cibulkova, the Australian Open runner-up. “I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience,” said Bellis, whose rapid-fire sentences tend to finish with a gurgle of laughter, “but I never thought I would come out on top winning.” Neither did her parents. Her mother, Lori, wasn’t there because she gets too nervous watching in person, Gordon Bellis said. So Lori stayed at their hotel, getting updates via text from Gordon. “She asked how bad it was going in the first set. And so I told her [CiCi] actually won the first set. She couldn’t believe that,” Gordon said. “We were just thankful that she didn’t get doublebageled.” After trailing 3-1 in the third set — “kind of a bummer,” Bellis would say later — she came back to even things, and then broke the 25-yearold Cibulkova in the final game. When it ended, Bellis crouched at the baseline and pumped her fists, then ran over to the stands for congratulatory hugs. Bellis was making her main-draw tour-level debut, having earned a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association by winning the USTA Girls’ 18s National Championship, the youngest to do since Lindsay Davenport also won it at 15 in 1991. Not since Anna Kournikova was 15 in 1996 had someone so young won a match at the U.S. Open. And not since Mary Joe Fernandez was that age in 1986 had an American done it.

TASTE A savory chop-yourown burger. The trick to chopping the beef is to cut it into 1-inch chunks, then freeze it for about 15 minutes until it is just firm. Partially frozen chunks chop perfectly in the processor.

Santa Fe’s only freestanding cheese shop — featuring rare varieties not found in New Mexico — is set to open next month

For best burger, chop your own beef By J.M. Hirsch The Associated Press

I’m not going to tell you how to dress your burger. I’m not going to tell you what sort of bun to put your burger on. I’m not really even going to tell you very much about how to cook your burger. But I am going to tell you how to make the best burger. Ever. And you start by avoiding the ground beef at the grocer at all costs. So let’s start there. Ground beef tends to be overworked during processing. And overworked beef is tough beef. Instead, you want to grab yourself sirloin steak tips, which are tender, meaty and full of flavor. But you’re not going to grind them. You’re going to chop them in the food processor. Not only does this prevent the beef from being overworked, it also gives the finished burgers a big beefy, tender steak-like texture. The trick to chopping the beef is to cut it into 1-inch chunks, then freeze it for about 15 minutes until it is just firm. These partially frozen chunks chop perfectly in the processor without becoming overworked. For seasoning, you want a blend of finely ground Parmesan cheese and Asian fish sauce. Don’t worry: The finished burgers will taste neither cheesy nor fishy. Both ingredients disappear into the steaky goodness of the beef without leaving behind noticeable flavors of their own. Yet they still impart tremendously savory flavors that produce an incredibly rich burger. Once your burgers are formed, how to cook them is your call. I like to grill them briefly over high heat, then finish them over cooler flames until just medium-rare. SUPER SAVORY CHOP-YOUR-OWN BURGERS Total time: 30 minutes (15 minutes active), makes 4 servings 4 ounces Parmesan cheese 1⅓ pounds sirloin steak tips 1 tablespoon fish sauce 2 teaspoons soy sauce Preparation: In a food processor, pulse the Parmesan until very finely ground; it should resemble breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Cut the steak tips into 1-inch chunks, then arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pieces of beef are firm, but not frozen solid. Once the beef is firm, place half of the pieces in the processor (there is no need to wash it out after the Parmesan), then pulse until well chopped, but not ground. This should take about 1 minute of on-off pulsing. Transfer the chopped beef to the bowl with the cheese, then repeat the procedure with the remaining beef. Drizzle the fish sauce and soy sauce over the chopped beef, then use your hands to mix everything together. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed, but try not to knead or overwork the meat. Divide the meat into 4 portions, then form each into a burger patty. As you form the patties, use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each burger. This prevents the burgers from bulging in the center during cooking. The burgers can be grilled immediately or refrigerated for up to two days. Grill the burgers over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until well seared, then either move the burgers to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the flame and cook to desired doneness.

cheese

By Carlos Andres López The New Mexican

ickajack, a semisoft raw cow’s milk cheese from Sequatchie Cove Farm in Tennessee, is known for its fruity yet savory flavor and its rose-colored, hard apple cider rind. It’s fast gaining a following at markets throughout the U.S., but you can’t find this top-selling cheese in Santa Fe — or anywhere in New Mexico. You’d have to travel nearly 700 miles to Austin, Texas, to buy a wheel at the nearest store. The same is true for Tomme Ferme la Manigodine, an aged semi-soft cow’s milk cheese made by Joseph Paccard. Except you’d have to book a flight to France. Both cheeses, however, will be available for the first time in Santa Fe next month when New Mexico’s first-ever freestanding cheese shop opens on Marcy Street. Cheesemongers of Santa Fe, a counter-service cheese storefront co-founded by longtime cheese seller and recent Santa Fe transplant John Gutierrez, is on track to open its doors by mid-September with no fewer than 150 cheeses on its shelves. “The real special part about the shop is that we’re a full-service, cut-to-order cheese shop,” Gutierrez said last week. “I really want to make this a shop where customers can come in and learn about all the exciting foods we have and talk with a real cheesemonger behind the counter.” Currently, the 1,000-square-foot space is a work in progress with little to no cheese in sight, but that will change in about a month’s time, when Gutierrez expects to complete the interior buildout and the cheese begins to arrive. Once filled with rows of carefully curated cheese, Gutierrez said, the two, 6-foot refrigerated display cases will resemble a “Colosseum of cheese” from the outside looking in. “It’ll be like stadium seating — very striking,” he said. “It’s designed specifically so that the cheese cases are facing these picture windows so that people can see all the cheeses.” On the inside, Gutierrez contin-

ued, “The display wraps around the entire space, so customers will be able to come in and work with someone behind the counter. The peninsular design is key and really helps the service atmosphere. It’s really all about the conversation.” For Gutierrez, having a direct dialogue with customers is essential. With years of selling cheese throughout Oklahoma and the San Francisco Bay Area under his belt, Gutierrez said he has developed a preference for “more neighborhood-y cheese shops,” where cheesemongers are able to work one-on-one with buyers. “My strong preference is to have a cheese shop where you really have those long-term relationships with customers,” he said, “where you know 95 percent of everyone who walks through the door.” Gutierrez strongly advocates that approach and believes it will add a sense of quality to the overall buying experience at Cheesemongers of Santa Fe, setting it apart from other ch cheese sellers. “It’s really about the t relationship of the business,” he said. “We’re reall really different from a gr grocery store. It’s diffe different from not only having someone tell you about che cheese, but also as far as quality goes. We cut to order

fresh off the wheel that you’re tasting off of — so you really know what you are taking home.” As for the cheese itself, Gutierrez said he’ll likely offer 175 cheeses to start out and whittle the selection down to about 150 as customer favorites become more apparent over time. That is until the holiday season. “By then,” he said, “it’ll be back at 200 [cheeses].” About half the selection will be domestic cheeses, the other half international. But all will come from smaller-scale artisan and farmstead producers, Gutierrez said. The cheeses, he continued, “will come from as close as Santa Cruz and Estancia and as far away as Italy and everywhere else.” “I’m pretty confident in saying that 85 to 95 percent of the products that will be in this shop have never been in the state of New Mexico before,” he said. To accompany the handselected cheeses, Gutierrez also plans to offer a wide-ranging selection of cured meats, baked goods and other antipasti items, including pickles, chutneys and mustards, which also will be sourced from local and smallscale producers. And during lunch hours, seasonal cheese plates and grilled cheese sandwiches will be available. Last week, Gutierrez and Cheesemongers of Santa Fe received the city of Santa Fe’s

bizMIX Startup Readiness Award. In addition to $5,000, Cheesemongers was awarded $2,000 in advertising from Hutton Broadcasting, social media consulting from B Social and a membership from the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce. Gutierrez said on Tuesday he was excited but not surprised by the award. “There’s certainly the market for a cheese shop in our community,” he said. “As for our planning, it’s not our first rodeo, as they say. My partners and I have pooled our mutual expertise and put a great deal of time and effort into this process of opening the shop.” Gutierrez said he plans to use the cash prize to help complete the shop’s walk-in refrigerator. As the shop nears its opening, Gutierrez said he’s eagerly anticipating meeting customers and fellow cheese lovers. “The customer side of what we do is really rewarding to me,” he said. “I really just enjoy those conversations and building those relationship with people. It’s all about community and food and friends — and that sounds like a good time to me.” Contact Carlos Andres López at clopez@sfnewmexican.com.

TRAVEL By Richard Rubin The New York Times

e forgot. It’s not entirely our fault: Americans have been conditioned by nearly a century of British revisionist histories to believe that the United States didn’t do much in World War I, and by countless anecdotes about rude cabdrivers and haughty waiters to believe that the French don’t much care for Americans. But both beliefs are, in fact, mistaken, and a big reason the second is untrue is that the first is quite far from true, and the French know it. They have never forgotten that when the war was mired at a grim stalemate and they and their British allies were exhausted nearly to the point of collapse, it was the Americans — fresh and eager to fight and showing up in great numbers — who stepped in, just in time, and tipped the balance. True, the French don’t speak much English, and they charge an outrageous amount for a small bottle of Coke; but they are grateful. Very grateful. They remember. Go to France and they’ll remind you, too. One afternoon this summer, I set out from the village of Romagne-sousMontfaucon, in the French region of Lorraine, to find a certain farmhouse. I had spent the morning tromping around local fields and through forests, searching for vestiges of the Great War, including places connected to some of the three dozen or so U.S. World War I veterans, ages 101-113, whom I had interviewed starting in 2003. The house I was looking for now, though, had a more notorious association: In 1914, as the Germans were first taking the area, a young second lieutenant named Erwin Rommel stopped there to eat and rest. A guide I know drew me a map to the place. Good thing: Like a lot of Lorraine, in the northeastern corner of the country, this area is quite rural, and much of what you might want to see here is not accessible by the kind of roads many Americans would recognize as viable thoroughfares. I managed to find the place, took some photos, and was about to get back into my car when a silver Nissan 4x4 pulled up. A ruddy, thickset man in his 60s with bright blue eyes climbed out and greeted me, friendly but clearly wondering what I was doing there. I asked him, in rudimentary French — he spoke no English at all — if he knew about Rommel and this house. He didn’t; but that house, he quickly added, gesturing at a smaller edifice a half-mile off on the other side of a couple of small gates — Douglas MacArthur had been there in 1918. “Do you want to see it?” he asked, smiling. I climbed into his truck as he unlatched the first gate. When he stopped on the other side to close it again, several cows and calves lumbered up amiably. His land, he explained, comprised several old farms; the one to which we were heading had been known in 1918 as La Tuilerie. It, and all of what was now his property, was then part of the Kriemhilde Stellung, a stretch of formidable German fortifications that was part of the Hindenburg Line, the invader’s ultimate chain of defenses in France. “There was a German narrow-gauge railroad running all through here,” he explained, gesturing up at a rise to his left. “There was a station up there. And they had four machine-gun emplace-

ments: there, there, there and there.” He stopped to unlatch another gate. “MacArthur,” he said, pointing at some forested hills to his right, “came from over there, early in the morning. Division 42. October ’18.” The French don’t feel the need to specify the century when talking about that war, which they call “’14-’18” as often as La Grand Guerre. The Tuilerie house looked as if it hadn’t been inhabited in a long time; it still had four walls but no roof. “MacArthur was here,” my host announced, a bit awed. It was Oct. 14, 1918; La Tuilerie was the site of some particularly fierce fighting, the Germans raining fire down upon the Americans from a nearby hill, the Côte de Châtillon. (The Germans, you quickly learn, always seemed to have topography on their side.) Young MacArthur, the legend goes, had been ordered to take Châtillon or show 5,000 casualties for the effort. He famously responded that he would, or his name would be first on that list. Now my host gestured at a tree line not far away. “Those woods,” he said, “are full of German trenches. Want to

Soon he was telling me about something else and asking, yet again: “Want to see?” We spent nearly five hours together that afternoon, driving across fields and through little villages where this or that had happened in the fall of 1918, until we ended up on a rugged dirt trail atop a wooded ridge. A few yards below on either side were more networks of German trenches, some trailing off to pits that had once held machine-gun emplacements or howitzers. This was the Côte Dame Marie, high ground of paramount strategic importance to the Germans. For four years, they had used it to repel French assaults and thus retain possession of a large chunk of the Argonne Forest, the key to controlling a vast area. Then, in October 1918, the American 32nd Division, National Guard troops from Wisconsin and Michigan, managed to wrest it away from them, at the cost of many American lives. My host, Jean-Pierre Brouillon, beckoned me over and gestured down the hill through a section where the trees weren’t too dense so I could see the grade of the slope, which looked

see?” We bushwhacked until we came to a series of ditches, 8 feet deep or more, jagging this way and that every few yards, sometimes intersecting with other deep, zigzaggy ditches. The passage of a century had not eroded them much at all; there was no mistaking them for anything else. I slid down into one and darted around until I saw him gesturing again, deeper into the woods. “Out there,” he said, “are two German blockhouses. Want to see?” We bushwhacked for another five minutes or so until we came upon two massive concrete bunkers crouching in a depression. They were quite stark and, like the trenches, unmistakable, though so covered in flora and fallen trees that it took a while to figure out how to get to them. Finally, I grabbed a vine and swung down to one, my host calling me “Tarzan.” (We still hadn’t exchanged names.) I pulled a flashlight out of my pocket and climbed inside the first one, then made my way over to the other. They were empty but solid, remarkably well preserved considering that the Germans had abandoned them 96 years earlier. One had a hole for a periscope.

to be around 60 degrees. He pointed at the foot of the hill, a few hundred yards below. “They came up from down there, into machine guns, rifles, artillery, everything,” he said, and looked at me with an expression that said: Can you believe that? “The French didn’t drive the Germans out of here,” he declared, visibly moved. “The English didn’t do it.” He shook his head at the thought of what it must have taken to charge those heights. “Just the Americans,” he said. “Only the Americans could do it.” The Great War’s centennial presents Americans with a fine opportunity to explore the important role their country — and their ancestors — played in that conflict. But there are some challenges: The war happened a hundred years ago and 4,000 miles away; and beyond that, it was so, well, great, in every conceivable metric, that it can seem impossible to grasp. You hear things — nearly a million men fell just at Verdun in 1916; in four years, the combatant nations suffered a total of 40 million dead, missing and wounded; more than 116,000 Americans died in just 19 months; billions of shells and bullets were fired; the map of the entire world was forever redrawn — and you can’t help but wonder: What can I possibly make of this? How do I even begin? You could start big, at one of the enormous American World War I monuments in France, or one of the vast U.S. cemeteries Over There. Or you could start as small as a single name. There are people who fixate upon MacArthur, or Col. George S. Patton or Capt. Harry S. Truman or Sgt. Alvin C. York, or their own grandfather or uncle or that nice man who used to cut their hair when they were growing up. But you can also just visit one of those U.S. cemeteries — perhaps one of the “smaller” ones, like Belleau Wood (officially known as Aisne-Marne) — and pick one at random. More than 2,000 Americans buried at AisneMarne have been gone for nearly a century, but somehow when you stand there, it doesn’t feel that way at all. That’s because it is in France, where William Faulkner’s famous statement that “The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past” seems insufficient when it comes to ’14-’18. The French still speak of World War I with such emotion that you’d think it was 1914, not 2014. Mention the war — and in France, “the war” always means ’14-’18, not ’39-’45 — and you will hear passionate declamations about generals, tactics, credit, blame, what might have been. Arguments are frequent and fraught: France lost more than simply a generation of men; in some areas, every last village was destroyed. Many were never rebuilt, though they’re still listed on French maps and still appoint mayors. You can hire a guide — there are plenty — or just be your own. Step into almost any patch of woods in certain parts of Lorraine or Champagne or Picardy, and you will find lots of trenches and shell holes, even some massive craters. Climb any hill and you may well find pillboxes, bunkers, blockhouses; stroll through any freshly plowed field and you might just spot shrapnel, cartridges and bullets atop the furrows. And maybe a shell. Don’t touch that last one: It may still be live. Even now, people are being killed and maimed by World War I ordnance. Faulkner wasn’t kidding.

United aims to lure fliers with hot meal By Scott Mayerowitz The Associated Press

NEW YORK — To win the hearts of frequent business travelers, United Airlines is going through their stomachs. The carrier has been looking for ways to woo back some of its top fliers who defected to other carriers following a rocky merger with Continental Airlines. So, it’s upgrading first class food options and replacing snacks with full meals on some of its shortest flights. The changes mean that instead of potato chips, chocolate chip cookies and bananas, passengers on flights of at least 800 miles will get meals such as chicken and mozzarella on a tomato focaccia roll, and turkey and Swiss cheese on a cranberry baguette. Currently, meals are only served on flights of 900 miles or more — trips that usually last close to two hours. Passengers on 106 extra daily flights — spread out over 13 routes, such as Houston-to-Des Moines, Iowa — will be getting full meal service starting in February. The move comes as American Airlines goes the other way, eliminat-

ing hot meals on most flights less than 1,000 miles starting Sept. 1. The change — which upset many frequent fliers — is part of American’s merger with US Airways and does expand meals to some US Airways flights that previously only had snacks. Delta Air Lines serves first class meals on flights of more than 900 miles. That means United will offer full meals on more short flights than its competitors, although each airline makes exceptions for some key shorter business routes like the 731-mile trip between New York and Chicago. United already this month replaced two bland salad options with four heartier choices. Starting Sept. 1, three frozen and reheated sandwiches currently served will be replaced by eight sandwich and wrap choices made daily. In the fall, it will add Prosecco sparkling wine to its beverage menu. “Customers shouldn’t have to make sacrifices just because they are onboard an aircraft,” says Todd Traynor-Corey, the airline’s managing director of food design. That might be true, but in an industry known for its razor-thin

profit margins, food has always been a target of cost-cutting. With U.S. airlines each year carrying 645 million passengers domestically, every little food decision had big implications. In the 1980s, then American Airlines CEO Robert Crandall famously decided to remove a single olive from every salad. The thought was passengers wouldn’t notice and American would save $40,000 a year. It’s been a decade since most airlines stopped serving free meals in coach on domestic flights. Dennis Cary, an airline consultant with ICF International, says meals alone won’t drive passengers to one airline over another, but can help leave a better impression of a flight. “It’s on the margin,” Cary says, “but it’s one of the things people like to talk about.” United has been struggling since its 2010 merger with Continental. It lags behind American and Delta in the number of planes with Wi-Fi, its on-time performance slipped, and a series of computer glitches have left passengers angry. Business travelers who fly weekly got fed up with the repeated problems; other airlines were successful in luring some away.

LEGALS LABORATORIES FEDERAL FACILITY COMPLIANCE ORDER SITE TREATMENT PLAN COMPLIANCE PLAN VOLUME The State of New Mexico is authorized to operate a hazardous waste management program in lieu of the Federal program for most provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Federal Facilities Compliance Act is coded in RCRA §6001. Under authority of the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Act (Section 74 4 1 NMSA 1978 (CUM. SUPP.) and the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Management Regulations (20.4.1 NMAC), the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) may issue Federal Facility Compliance Orders to federal facilities located within New Mexico’s borders. On October 4, 1995, NMED issued a Federal Facility Compliance Order (FFCO) to the United States Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and Sandia Corporation (Sandia) for the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Facility. DOE/NNSA is the owner, and Sandia Corporation is the operator of SNL. The FFCO requires a Site Treatment Plan (STP) Compliance Plan Volume (CPV) for the treatment and disposal of mixed waste at SNL. Mixed waste is waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components. DOE/NNSA and Sandia must comply with the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Act, NMSA 1978, §§74 4 1 (1998 CUM. SUPP.) and section 3012(b) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. §6939(c), as amended by the Federal Facility Compliance Act of 1992, Public Law 102 386, 106 Stat. 1505 (1992). Under Section X "Revisions" of the FFCO STP CPV, all proposed or required revisions shall be made available for public review and comment.

If approved, revisions under Part X.C.2.b would establish a Compliance Date for the current and future inventory of Mixed TRU (MTRU) Waste. The Compliance Date for the treatment and disposal of all waste in this TG would be set to December 31, 2016. The Administrative Record includes proposed Revision 14, all earlier revisions, the FFCO, various deletion requests, and other FFCO-required documents. Proposed Revision 14 and the Administrative Record may be reviewed at N M E D , Hazardous Waste Bureau, 2905 Rodeo Park Drive East, Building 1, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 875056 3 0 3 , between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. for a period of thirty (30) days beginning August 27, 2014.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Parents want help from adult kids Dear Annie: We are perplexed as to the actions of our grown children. We were not perfect parents, but consider ourselves to have been pretty good. Our kids grew up in a nice home where friends were welcome, and they were involved in church and extracurricular activities. Now that they have their own homes, my wife and I continue to help by babysitting and lending a hand when needed. But as we find ourselves aging and occasionally needing help from them, no help is forthcoming. Why? What makes adult children tune out the needs of aging parents? We feel hurt by their lack of caring. — Confused Mom and Dad Dear Mom and Dad: Have you asked your children for specific help? Sometimes parents expect the children to know what they need, but the kids can be oblivious, assuming their parents are as competent and capable as they always have been. Also, some parents expect grown children with family obligations of their own to do chores that would consume every weekend, when the parents are perfectly able to hire someone to do these jobs. Kids resent this. Otherwise, please be direct. Say, “We are finding it difficult to change the light bulbs in our house because we are unsteady on the stepladder. Could you come by one day this week and take care of that for us? We’d truly appreciate it.” Most kids will step up when asked. Dear Annie: My 77-year-old grandmother is an incredibly caring and loving woman, and she expresses this through cooking. Granny cooks large meals every day, and if you’re around, there’s no chance to escape without eating at least one plateful. Dropping hints or saying you just ate, are on a diet or aren’t hungry doesn’t work. She says, “Eat it while it’s hot!” or “It’s not that filling,” and suddenly two more scoops of potato salad have appeared on your dish. I feel trapped. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, because I know she does it out of love and

because when she was growing up there wasn’t always food in the house. But it’s no good gorging until I feel sick. It feels like she’s trying to feed me to death. Help! — Stuffed in Pennsylvania Dear Stuffed: You are right that Granny shows love through food, and it also gives her pleasure to see you gorge. But no matter how much food Granny puts on your plate, you are not obligated to finish it. Practice saying “no” sweetly but more convincingly. Spend some time taking one bite and pushing food around on your plate, and then sit back and say, “I’m stuffed! I can’t eat one more thing.” She’ll insist. You’ll repeat. She’ll cajole. You’ll repeat. She’ll act hurt. You’ll repeat. Ask whether you could take the food home (where you can do with it whatever you like). Tell her you love her. Ask her to talk to you about her day. But under no circumstances do you have to eat everything she puts in front of you. Dear Annie: This is for “Mother in Iowa,” whose daughter falsely accused her of physical abuse. What a child interprets as physical abuse may be different from what Mom recognizes. My mother thought it was OK to pull down my panties and spank me with a paddle in front of my father. I am sure neither she nor my father considered that physical or sexual abuse, but I do. She also bit my finger so hard one time that the teeth marks lasted for days. While I bear the scars, I do not think of her as an abuser, because I am sure she felt her behavior was sanctioned by the Bible and by society. “Mother in Iowa” may think what she did was normal, while her daughter may view it differently. — Mostly Over It in Vermont Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A partner might give you an earful. You’ll need to have a discussion, as you can’t postpone it any longer. Tonight: Make plans for the coming weekend.

Today is Wednesday, August 27, the 239th day of 2014. There are 126 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On August 27, 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson accepted his party’s nomination for a term in his own right, telling the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey, “Let us join together in giving every American the fullest life which he can hope for.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep searching for a different opinion. You will hear many opinions today, but the issue will be sorting through them and finding the right solution. Tonight: Say “yes” to a dinner invitation. Jacqueline Bigar
