Advocates: Insurers steering sick away

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Santa Fe made history Wednesday by becoming the first city in New Mexico to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Hoping to avoid the costs of taking the issue before voters and the uncer-

tainty of the question even making the November general election ballot, the City Council voted 5-4 to adopt a citizen initiative outright.

“I don’t think that by supporting this there’s going to be many more potheads,” said City Councilor Carmichael Dominguez. He voted in favor of adopting the ordinance, which calls for

making possession of an ounce or less of marijuana and marijuana-associated paraphernalia civil infractions punishable by a fine of no more than $25.

Dominguez said he was leaning toward putting the question before voters, calling the ability to vote the most democratic process. But he said he’s had the “unpleasant experience” of

AG’s Office: SFCC board violated meetings law State finds members broke law in 2013 during leadership shake-up

The Santa Fe Community College Governing Board committed numerous violations of the Open Meetings Act between April and December 2013 when it was debating controversies around former president Ana “Cha” Guzmán, the state attorney general says.

Assistant Attorney General Joseph M. Dworak, in a Wednesday letter to the Governing Board’s attorney, Lynn E. Mostoller, said, “We find the SFCC governing board committed numerous violations of the OMA … and should act swiftly to assure future compliance with state law.”

Among the infractions cited in the letter: creating a letter of reprimand for then president Guzmán without voting openly on the action; giving

ozobra will burn this year on Friday, but it remains to be seen if Santa Fe residents will praise or revile a set of tradition-defying changes for the 90th burning of Old Man

Gloom.

Ray Sandoval, director of the event for the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, knows what’s at stake, saying he “eats, breathes and sleeps Zozobra.” And he knows the 2012 burning fiasco — its drawn-out performance and steep tickets prices — remains on the minds of many.

“I think I have a lot to prove,” Sandoval said. “We’re on a Friday. Zozobra looks different. We’re asking the

As part of Zozobra’s 90th anniversary celebration, Sandoval has created a marionette inspired by the 1920s model. That means no skirt, cummerbund or bow tie in favor of a loincloth, shackles and a handlebar mustache.

It’s different than what has been done in years past, Sandoval said, but it’s a one-time occurrence. Some in the community have protested Zozobra’s new look, and there’s even a petition circling town calling for organizers to return Old Man Gloom to his roots.

City OKs expanded take-home policy for patrol cars

Opinions A-11

A divided City Council approved a contract Wednesday with the police officers union that increases the number of miles new hires can commute in their patrol cars.

Mayor Javier Gonzales cast the tie-breaking vote after an hourlong debate that pitted councilors who want to bolster recruitment efforts against councilors who want to see more officers living in Santa Fe neighborhoods.

Gonzales said expanding the current 15-mile radius to 45 miles for new hires will help the police department fill 21 existing vacancies.

“In at least a dozen community meetings, people are talking about wanting to see more police officers,” Gonzales said.

“Last year, we had a 1,000 reported cases of domestic violence in our community. We have an active drug trade moving through Santa Fe,” he said. “I don’t know that we have the

NATION&WORLD In brief

Surfers hit waves driven by hurricane NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Thundering surf spawned by a Pacific hurricane pounded the Southern California coast Wednesday, causing minor flooding in a low-lying beach town while drawing daredevil surfers and body-boarders into churning, 20-foot waves as crowds of spectators lined the shore.

Despite the danger, surfers, bodyboarders and body-surfers flocked to favorite spots such as the notorious Wedge at Newport Beach, where the interaction of swells and a jetty produced huge waves, and cars were backed up for miles along the only road to the narrow peninsula.

Big crowds watched surfers in the morning, while bodysurfers took on the surf in the afternoon.

Trial set for traffic mishap over voting PHOENIX — An Oct. 20 trial has been set for a Mesa, Ariz., woman accused of running over her husband with an SUV because he didn’t vote in the 2012 presidential election.

Holly Nicole Solomon, 30, has pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault and disorderly conduct charges in the incident just days after President Barack Obama’s re-election. Authorities say Solomon began arguing with her husband when she found out that he didn’t vote.

Daniel Solomon suffered a fractured pelvis. Holly Solomon told police she was trying to scare her husband by stopping the vehicle close to him but she accidentally stepped on the accelerator.

Cold cash just pouring in from ALS challenge

By Allen G. Breed The Associated Press

I

n the couple of hours it took an official from the ALS Association to return a reporter’s call for comment, the group’s ubiquitous “ice bucket challenge” had brought in a few million more dollars.

Approaching $100 million, the viral fundraising campaign for the ailment better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease has put the ALS group into the top ranks for medical charity donations. Since the end of July, the money has been sloshing in at a rate of about $9 million a week.

Last year, from July 29 to Aug. 26, the group raised just $2.6 million.

It’s caught everyone off-guard, none more so than the ALS Association folks.

But they know this is likely a one-off phenomenon, and the group now faces the task of spending all that money wisely. Research, care and advocacy are the group’s three main missions — but officials say they don’t know yet exactly how they’ll use the astonishing windfall.

“I think even if I or any PR person at either a nonprofit or a for-profit company had all of the PR dollars in the world to invest, no one would have come up with this idea,” says Carrie Munk, the association’s spokeswoman. “We realize there are responsibilities that come with being good stewards of these dollars.”

Part of what’s surprising is that ALS — or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — is one of those “orphan” diseases. It is a neurodegenerative disease that causes paralysis and death, and the association estimates that about 5,600 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.

This campaign hasn’t exactly put the charity in the same neighborhood as giants like the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association or Susan G. Komen for the Cure — which raised $889 million, $529 million and $310 million last year, respectively. But it’s moving into the same ZIP code now.

“People who have been in this space for a long period of time feel like it’s a dream come true,” says Munk.

In case you’ve been under the proverbial rock, here are the basic rules: Someone issues a challenge — that you allow yourself to be doused with a bucket of ice and water, like winning coaches along

the sidelines. Then, the challengee has 24 hours to make a $100 donation to the ALS Association or submit to the water torture.

In the last month, everyone from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to former President George W. Bush has been doused. The Internet and airwaves are awash in videos of people taking the challenge — even if they fully intend to write the check.

Jonah Berger, author of the book Contagious: Why Things Catch On, says it’s like a modern-day chain letter — except, in this case, everyone will know if you break the chain.

“It has a lot of the key ingredients that often make people want to share things,” says Berger, a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. “It gives people lots of social currency to be part of it. It makes you look good. It makes you look smart and in the know; you know what’s going on.

And it’s always hard to back down from a challenge.”

The Chronicle of Philanthropy says the ALS Association has, in this short period of time, raised more than many of the charities included on its Philanthropy 400 list.

“Right now, we’re really focused on reaching out to and acknowledging and thanking the over 2 million donors that have come to the ALS Association,” said Munk, the association spokeswoman.

The American Institute of Philanthropy’s CharityWatch gave the group a B+ rating for spending about 73 percent of their cash budget on programs. Analyst Stephanie Kalivas has no reason to believe that rating will need to be downgraded.

“We will definitely be keeping an eye out for them,” she says. “Hopefully, they won’t be wasteful with it.”

Dr. Richard Bedlack, who runs the ALS clinic at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences in Durham, North Carolina, knows how he would allocate the money.

While the temptation might be to plow it all into the search for a cure, he says the biggest strides have been made in patient care and quality of life, and that would be his No. 1 priority. “The chances of one of these research studies really finding meaningful disease-modifying therapy is very small,” he said.

PHOENIX — “All right, full auto,” the firing-range instructor tells a 9-year-old girl. She braces the Uzi submachine gun and opens fire at a blacksilhouette target. But the recoil wrenches the fully automatic weapon upward, and the instructor is shot in the head and killed.

The death has set off a powerful debate over youngsters and guns, with many people wondering what sort of parents would let a child handle an Uzi. Instructor Charles Vacca, 39, was standing next to the girl Monday at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range in White Hills, Ariz., about 25 miles south of Las Vegas, Nev., when she squeezed the trigger.

Sam Scarmardo, a former Lake Havasu City Council member who operates the shooting range, said Wednesday that the girl’s parents had signed waivers saying they understood the rules of the range and were standing nearby, video-recording their daughter, when the accident happened.

“I have regret we let this child shoot, and I have regret that Charlie was killed in the incident,” Scarmardo said.

The instructor’s death generated angry social-media comments about why a child was allowed to use an automatic weapon. Many readers expressed sympathy for the girl while questioning whether the adults at the gun range were to blame.

Scarmardo said his policy of allowing children 8 and older to fire guns under adult supervision and the watchful eye of an instructor is standard practice in the industry.

The range’s policies are under review, he said.

The Scottsdale Gun Club in recent years has allowed children and families to pose with Santa Claus while holding machine guns and other weapons from the club. Children as young as 10 are allowed to hunt big game such as elk and deer in Arizona, provided they have completed a hunter safety course.

The gun range operator said he doesn’t know what went wrong to cause the shooting, pointing out that Vacca was an Army veteran who had experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Scarmardo, who has been operating the gun range for more than a year, said he hasn’t had a safety problem before at his ranges. “We never even issued a Band-Aid,” Scarmardo said.

In 30 states, child can own shotgun Federal law prohibits handgun ownership by any person under the age 18, with a handful of exceptions. But there is no minimum age for long gun (i.e. rifle and shotgun) ownership. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have set their own minimum age laws ranging from 14 in Montana to 21 in Illinois, but in the remaining 30 states it’s technically legal for a child to possess a long gun.

While federal law prohibits handgun sales by licensed dealers to people under 21, unlicensed dealers are prohibited only from selling handguns to people under 18.

New Mexico requires people to be at least 19 in order to possess a handgun.

That doesn’t mean that a child can walk into a gun show and purchase a gun.

“There are federal laws for minimum age purchasing of firearms,” said Daniel Webster,

Shooting by 9-year-old stirs debate over guns

Gaza war ends with a stalemate TEL AVIV, Israel — The third Gaza War in six years appears to have ended in another sort of tie, with both Israel and Hamas claiming the upper hand. Their questionable achievements have come at a big price, especially to long-suffering Palestinians in Gaza.

In a sense, Israel got what it wanted: Hamas stopped firing rockets in exchange for mostly vague promises and future talks. But the cost to Israel was huge: Beyond the 70 people killed — all but six of them soldiers — the economy has been set back, the tourism season destroyed, its people rattled for 50 days.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces bristling from people who sense that Hamas controlled events and could not have its grip loosened on the Gaza Strip.

Hamas is celebrating its success after surviving Israel’s far superior firepower. It also paid dearly: 2,143 Palestinians were killed, including nearly 500 children and hundreds of militants. The U.N. estimates the war destroyed or severely damaged 17,200 homes and left 100,000 Palestinians homeless.

MarketWatch

the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. “Technically, anybody selling a gun in that context should look for age verification that someone is at least 18 years old.”

But a child’s parent could.

“If dad wants to give his son a rifle or a shotgun on his 13th or 14th birthday, he’s pretty much free to do that in most states,” Webster said.

It’s also perfectly legal in many states for children to fire guns of all types at shooting ranges, like the one where the accidental shooting took place Tuesday, so long as an adult or instructor is present.

A recent study found that federal reports of accidental child gun deaths are significantly underreported.

The National Rifle Association didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Battle for Ukraine’s southeast coast heats up Military push aimed at linking Russia to Crimea

By Peter Leonard The Associated Press

NOVOAZOVSK, Ukraine — Pushing west in a new offensive along Ukraine’s strategic coastline, heavily armed Russian-backed separatist forces captured new territory Wednesday far from their previous battles with government troops.

The bold offensive along a new southeastern front raised the prospect that the separatists are seeking to create a land link between Russia and Crimea, which also would give them control over the entire Azov Sea. After a third day of heavy shelling that sent many residents fleeing, rebel fighters with dozens of tanks and

armored vehicles entered Novoazovsk, a resort town of 40,000 on the Azov Sea, the mayor told The Associated Press.

Novoazovsk lies along the road linking Russia to the Ukrainian port of Mariupol and onto Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed in March.

The separatist attack appears to have caught government forces off guard, and they were scrambling Wednesday to build up defenses. The offensive also adds to growing evidence that the rebels receive Russian support.

Oleg Sidorkin, the mayor of Novoazovsk, told the AP by telephone that the rebel forces had rolled into town from positions near Ukraine’s southernmost border with Russia.

To travel to this spot through Ukraine from the main front line

around Donetsk and Luhansk, far to the north, the rebels would have had to cross territory controlled by government troops. The more logical conclusion is that they came across the nearby Russian border.

Ukraine and Western governments have long accused Russia of playing a direct role in the conflict, supplying troops and weaponry to the rebels.

Russia consistently denies the claims, but its stance is increasingly dismissed abroad.

“Information, which in recent hours has gained another hard-facts confirmation, is that regular Russian units are operating in eastern Ukraine,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Wednesday. “This information, coming from NATO and confirmed by our intelligence, is in fact unequivocal.”

The U.S. government accused Russia

on Wednesday of orchestrating a new military campaign in Ukraine that is helping rebel forces expand their fight and sending in tanks, rocket launchers and armored vehicles.

“These incursions indicate a Russian-directed counteroffensive is likely underway in Donetsk and Luhansk,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters. She also voiced concern about overnight deliveries of materiel in southeast Ukraine near Novoazovsk and said Russia was being dishonest about its actions, even to its own people.

Associated Press journalists on the border have seen the rebels with a wide range of unmarked military equipment — including tanks, Buk missile launchers and armored personnel carriers — and have run into many Russians among the rebel fighters.

Mother of U.S. hostage in Syria begs for his life

By Diaa Hadid and John Heilprin The Associated Press

BEIRUT — The mother of a hostage American journalist pleaded for his release Wednesday in a video directed at the Islamic State group, while new images emerged of mass killings, including masked militants shooting kneeling men after the capture of a strategic air base in Syria.

Shirley Sotloff’s plea came as a U.N. commission accused the group, which dominates a broad swath of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, of committing crimes against humanity and President Barack Obama weighs options for targeting the extremists’ stronghold in Syria.

The Islamic State militants have threatened to kill 31-year-old Steven Sotloff unless the U.S. halts its airstrikes against it.

Sotloff, who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had last been seen in Syria in August 2013 until he appeared in a video released online last week by the Islamic State group showing the beheading of fellow American journalist, James Foley.

Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against the backdrop of an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened with death unless

“You, the caliph, can grant amnesty. I ask you, please, to release my child. I ask you to use your authority to spare his life,” Shirley Sotloff said on the video, which was first aired on the Al-Arabiya television network.

It was widely retweeted by Islamic State supporters later Wednesday with her face blurred because their ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam prohibits showing a woman’s face.

Shirley Sotloff appeals via video to the Meanwhile, new images emerged of the captors of her son, freelance journalist extremists’ bloody takeover of an air base in Steven Sotloff, 31, who was last seen in northeastern Syria.

Ukraine also captured 10 soldiers from a Russian paratrooper division Monday around Amvrosiivka, a town about 12 miles from the Russian border.

On Wednesday, AP reporters saw more than 20 shells fall around Novoazovsk in a one-hour span. Many people were leaving the town, while others were rushing back in to evacuate relatives.

In Mariupol, a city of 450,000 about 20 miles to the west, defenses were being built up. A brigade of Ukrainian forces arrived at the airport on Wednesday afternoon, while deep trenches were dug a day earlier on the city’s edge. Other troops were blocking traffic from leaving the port heading east. Ukraine has already lost more than 450 milesof coastline in Crimea, along with a major naval port and significant mineral rights in the Black Sea.

MINNEAPOLIS — Douglas McAuthur McCain, an American killed in Syria while fighting with the Islamic State group, was part of a growing number of Americans and other foreigners recruited by terror groups to help them wage war in the Mideast.

Douglas White House McAuthur press secretary McCain Josh Earnest confirmed Wednesday that McCain was fighting for the Islamic State — also call ISIL or ISIS — in Syria in a conflict that now includes thousands of combatants from as many as 50 countries. Here are some questions and answers about the situation: Question: Who are these travelers?

Answer: FBI Director James Comey said in June that roughly 100 people had left the United States to join the conflict in Syria. His estimate came during a visit to Minnesota, where several young Somali-Americans had lived before travelling to Somalia in recent years to help expel Ethiopian troops seen as invaders. Comey said the new wave of travelers to Syria was not coming from any particular part of the United States.

In May, for example, a Florida man named Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha was identified as carrying out a suicide truck bombing against Syrian government troops in the city of Idlib.

Question: What do we know about McCain?

Answer: He was born in the Chicago area and moved to Minnesota as a boy. Court records show McCain had some minor traffic offenses in Minnesota, including two instances in which he was convicted of giving police a false name or ID. An old friend, Isaac Chase, said McCain did not really know what he wanted to do with his life. “I don’t know if he was just lost or what,” Chase said.

Question: How do the fighters get into Syria?

Answer: One thing that makes Syria such a problem is

that it’s so easy to get to, said Evan Kohlmann, who tracks terrorists and terror activity as chief information officer at Flashpoint Global Partners.

Turkey gets direct flights from the United States and Europe.

From there, it’s a short drive or taxi ride to the porous Syrian border, he said.

Question: What are the American authorities doing to stop them?

Answer: The U.S. is using “every tool we possess to disrupt and dissuade individuals from traveling abroad for violent jihad and to track and engage those who return,” National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.

The no-fly list is one of those tools, but it’s far from perfect. “If someone is determined to travel overseas, it’s a challenge for law enforcement to prevent [it],” said Minneapolis FBI spokesman Kyle Loven.

The concern has grown more acute with the beheading of American journalist James Foley by a militant dressed in black with a British accent. The Islamic State group, regarded by Western authorities as the most brutal among jihadi organizations, claimed responsibility last week by posting a video of the slaying on the Internet.

Question: What are other governments doing?

Answer: France is planning a law that would allow confisca-

tion of passports for citizens suspected of planning to fight in Syria or Iraq, and allow prosecution of people who attempt to join the fighting or who are returning from it. Britain, with an estimated 400 to 500 citizens having fought in Syria, has emphasized outreach aimed at stopping radicalization. So has Germany.

Question: What motivates the travelers?

Answer: Those who are lured to the fighting tend to be young men who are disenfranchised from society and withdrawn, Loven said. They can include people who have been born into the Muslim faith and converts to Islam.

Colin Clarke, a political scientist at the RAND Corporation who researches global security, said the travelers also include people who have sketchy backgrounds or have been in trouble with the law.

Question: What makes the Islamic State attractive to them?

Answer: ISIL appeals to jihadists around the globe because it’s seen as a successful movement, and unlike al-Qaida, it is operating above-ground, said Jeffrey Addicott, director of the Center for Terrorism Law at St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas.

Kohlmann said the fighters are sympathetic to the forces opposing the Assad regime, and have embraced the anti-American message.

Pot: Vote receives mixed reaction Continued from Page A-1 The other councilors who voted to adopt the ordinance were Patti Bushee, Peter Ives, Signe Lindell and Joseph Maestas. Mayor Javier Gonzales and councilors Bill Dimas, Ron Trujillo and Chris Rivera cast the dissenting votes.

The ordinance, which goes into effect five days after it’s published, also would make possession of small amounts of marijuana “a lowest law enforcement priority” for Santa Fe police.

Emily Kaltenbach, state director of the Drug Policy Alliance, said she had “mixed emotions” about the council’s decision. Drug Policy Action, the advocacy and political arm of Drug Policy Alliance, and ProgressNow New Mexico led the effort to gather petition signatures with the intent of putting the question before voters in November.

“I think there are going to be a lot of disappointed voters who really wanted to show their direct support,” Kaltenbach said. “That’s the reason that we went out to gather all the signatures. One vote, one voice really is probably the most pure, direct form of democracy, and unfortunately, those voters won’t have a chance to have their voice heard directly because of this evening.”

Still, Kaltenbach said, “the people won tonight no matter what.”

“I’m disappointed the voters won’t have a voice, but I’m ecstatic that we made history tonight by changing our laws in our city,” she said.

Dimas, whose daughter died of a drug overdose at age 32, urged his colleagues to put the question before voters.

“I as a citizen can tell you that I support it going to the voters because it gives me an opportunity to decide if I want to vote for it or against it based on what’s happened in my personal life,” he said.

“It should go to the voters.

That’s what people signed the petitions for,” he said.

Gonzales also tried to make the case for putting the question before voters. He said the council has known since at least June that there was an initiative to reduce the penalties for possessing less than an ounce of marijuana. He said the council

had opportunities to adopt it since then but didn’t.

“We actually allowed for the petitioners to go out and through hundreds of hours of civic engagement get 11,000 signatures of people who are asking this council to put this measure to the vote,” Gonzales said.

“They’ve asked for the vote.

They should have the vote,” he said.

But when it would go to a vote was up in the air.

On Tuesday, Secretary of State Dianna Duran raised concerns about putting the twopart question on the November ballot, saying it could’ve been difficult to accommodate on an already crowded ballot. Elections officials also faced a tight timeline to resolve what the city attorney on Tuesday called “significant logistical details,” since Duran has until Sept. 9 to certify the ballots in all of New Mexico’s 33 counties.

The estimated $80,000 cost associated with putting the question on the November ballot was a major sticking point for some councilors, though City Clerk Yolanda Vigil said the cost could be lower.

“I’m concerned about the fiscal impact,” Maestas said.

A special election not held in conjunction with the November election was estimated to cost between $90,000 and $100,000.

“Those are just the kind of numbers I don’t like,” Lindell said.

Councilors considered waiting until the next municipal election in March 2016 but struggled with waiting that long to put the question before voters.

Despite adoption of the ordinance, the issue may not be entirely resolved.

Gov. Susana Martinez has expressed opposition and doubt that a municipality could decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana without legislative action.

However, City Attorney Kelley Brennan issued an opinion stating that Santa Fe is within its authority to enact such an ordinance.

“Home Rule municipalities do not need to look to the legislature to act, but only to ensure that the legislature has not placed limits on a municipality’s power,” she wrote.

SFCC: Letter sent to AG in December Continued from Page A-1 less than three days’ notice of a public meeting; failing to include a meeting agenda or information on how to obtain an agenda; and using the vague term “limited personnel matters” to call a closed meeting in April 2013. The board also was cited for at least one case of what Dworak called “a rolling quorum” and for discussing personnel or business matters via email — actions that would require an open meeting.

The time period cited in the letter covered the reprimand and ultimate termination of Guzmán in December 2013. The board then appointed Randy Grissom as interim president.

Board members Chris Abeyta and Andrea Bermúdez — both of whom voted against terminating Guzmán — sent a letter to Attorney General Gary King in December 2013, claiming board members Kathy Keith, Martha Romero and Linda Siegle acted in concert to reprimand the president during a closed session and then voted to place her on administrative leave “without the benefit of an open vote.”

Abeyta and Bermúdez also questioned whether the three board members had discussed Guzmán’s situation via email, outside of an announced meeting, and whether the three worked in concert to hire Grissom, then vice president of academic affairs, before they voted to fire Guzmán.

The Attorney General’s Office did not find cause to support some of those complaints — that the other three board members had met in advance to discuss Guzmán’s reprimand letter or that more

than one string of emails constituted a rolling quorum discussion outside the scope of an open meeting. Nor did it find reason to believe the board had arranged to hire Grissom ahead of firing Guzmán.

Dworak’s letter notes other “possible” violations relating to meetings held between midDecember 2013 and mid-February 2014. Most of those center on the board’s failure to provide proper meeting notices or failure to cite a reason to enter into a closed session.

“These concerns, along with the specific violations already discussed, suggest a systemic pattern of violations by the Board,” the letter said.

SFCC Governing Board Chairwoman Siegle said she had yet review the letter and that Mostoller would examine it first. “Compliance with the Open Meetings Act is important to the board. What we will do is study the recommendation and make any necessary improvements going forward if necessary,” Siegle said.

She said the college is “pretty good” about submitting advance notice of board meetings.

Bermúdez resigned from her position from the board late last year, unhappy with the Guzmán decision. In March of this year, the board appointed Pablo Sedillo to complete her term, which ends in March 2015.

The board paid $500,000 to Guzmán earlier this year in an out-of-court settlement after Guzmán initiated a lawsuit against the college, claiming she was fired for uncovering administrative and financial waste while she was president.

Officials: Hackers went after JPMorgan, four other banks

By Jordan Robertson and Michael Riley Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Computer hackers targeted JPMorgan Chase & Co. and at least four other banks in a coordinated attack on major financial institutions this month, according to a U.S. official.

The attack led to the theft of customer data that could be used to drain accounts, according to another person briefed by U.S. law enforcement. The two people, who asked not to be identified because the investigation is continuing, discussed the incident after Bloomberg News reported a breach on banks earlier Wednesday.

Hackers targeted customer and employee information, said a third person involved in the investigation, who was also briefed by the government. The theft involved gigabytes of data, said several people familiar with the attacks. The scale indicates a potential for significant financial fraud.

Most thefts of financial information involve retailers or personal computers of consumers. Stealing data from big banks is rare, because they have elaborate firewalls and security systems.

The Bloomberg report said the FBI is investigating whether Russian hackers attacked JPMorgan and at least one other bank in retaliation for sanctions on the country over its involvement in the Ukraine military conflict. New Yorkbased JPMorgan declined to comment on whether it was a victim of hacking, while saying the bank has multiple layers of defense to fend off data thefts.

“Companies of our size unfortunately experience cyber attacks nearly every day,” Patricia Wexler, a JPMorgan spokeswoman, said in an email.

JPMorgan hasn’t detected any unusual activity or fraud thus far, said a person with knowledge of the matter.

Authorities are looking for signs the stolen data has been used to move money from accounts. No such activity

Most thefts of financial information involve retailers or personal computers of consumers.

Stealing data from big banks is rare, because they have elaborate firewalls and security systems. had been spotted as of this afternoon, the U.S. government official said. The absence of fraud provides some support that the hack could have been politically motivated.

J. Peter Donald, an FBI spokesman in New York, declined to comment.

Companies are vulnerable to hackers from multiple avenues. Security researchers scanning JPMorgan’s networks found malicious software on computers in Hong Kong and India capable of stealing banking and other sensitive data. That review was separate from the attacks being investigated by the FBI. The researchers found JPMorgan’s Hong Kong office was infected in July with the Zeus Trojan horse malware, which can steal banking credentials, said one of the researchers who asked not to be named because the review was private. An office in India was found last week to be infected with the Sality malware, which can steal data and compromise Web servers, the researcher said.

Wexler declined to comment on the Asian security report.

In the latest attack on the U.S. financial system, the use of a software flaw known as a “zero-day” in one bank’s website and the way the criminals navigated through elaborate layers of security indicates a degree of skill beyond an ordinary hacker, said two of the people familiar with the attacks. Zero-day refers to the fact that developers don’t know the vulnerability exists, making it easy for hackers to take remote command of a

computer.

JPMorgan Chase spends about $200 million each year to protect itself from cyber attacks, CEO Jamie Dimon wrote in a April 2013 letter to shareholders.

“This number will grow dramatically over the next three years,” Dimon said.

“More than 600 employees across the firm are dedicated to the task. And this number likely will grow as well.”

It couldn’t be determined whether this month’s data thefts at banks resulted in any financial losses for consumers. The people didn’t specify whether the stolen information included account numbers, passwords or credit-card numbers.

Banks must disclose when customer data is breached, a process that can take days or weeks. Companies often don’t immediately know what information was taken or who was affected. If a theft leads to losses, consumers have more protections than corporations.

Customers concerned that their data can be stolen should protect themselves by establishing a second level of authentication for anyone trying to access a bank account. An example would be a text message that must be responded to login. While it’s easy for a bank to cancel and reissue credit and debit cards, shutting a deposit account can be more difficult.

Police: Union says policy will help recruit Continued from Page A-1 luxury at this time to talk about trying to have a contract that puts more people from Santa Fe to work in our police department versus people from outside of Santa Fe. What we have is a real need to fill positions to protect our community.”

In addition to Gonzales, councilors Bill Dimas, Carmichael Dominguez, Ron Trujillo and Chris Rivera voted in favor of the contract. Councilors Patti Bushee, Peter Ives, Signe Lindell and Joseph Maestas voted in opposition.

Maestas said the city is pinning its hopes on recruiting on the take-home vehicle policy. The numbers don’t necessarily show that it makes a difference, he said.

Data provided by the police department show that 52 percent of officers hired before April 2012 live inside the city. Those officers are allowed to drive their patrol vehicles home within a 60-mile radius of Santa Fe. The same data show that 55 percent of officers hired after April 2012 live in Santa Fe. Those officers are allowed to drive patrol vehicles home only as far as 15 miles from city limits.

“We need to open up a broader discussion about how do we attract and retain our officers,” he said. “I think it’s bigger than the take-home policy, and I’m concerned that we’ve only let this [15-mile radius] policy take effect for just a little over two years. But it doesn’t seem to influence where the officers live, and I would feel much better working on the

bigger picture and addressing the real issue, which I think is housing.”

Matthew Martinez, president of the police union, said take-home vehicle policies are a part of a larger recruiting and retention tool.

“I don’t know what the issue is as far as if your constituents don’t want to see us leaving the city or if they want to see us living in their areas,” he said. “But you’re never going to get an officer that lives in District 1 [on Santa Fe’s east side] unless you bulldoze an area of Patrick Smith Park and we put a mobile home on there.

But I don’t want to tell these guys that they have to live in mobile homes.”

Zozobra: Club seeks to draw 35K attendees Continued from Page A-1 the night, the Zozobra known to most will make an appearance.

Sandoval also promised the biggest fireworks show New Mexico has ever seen.

Sandoval took charge of the torching of the 50-foot-effigy for the Kiwanis Club in 2012 after then-director Ray Valdez resigned following a burn that produced more gloom than it consumed. In 2013, Sandoval slashed tickets prices in half to $10. That ploy brought about 31,000 people to Fort Marcy Ballpark for the burn, far more than a year earlier.

But if Zozobra is to continue burning, Sandoval said, the event needs to draw more paying customers. He said the goal is to snag 35,000 or more attendees.

To accomplish that goal, he moved the annual burning from the Thursday prior to Fiesta de Santa Fe to the Friday before Labor Day. And while many praised the switch, others raised concerns about safety and altering a tradition of tying the event to the Fiesta. But Sandoval maintains that Zozobra and the Fiesta are still connected. The Fiesta Council continues to bill Zozobra as a pre-Fiesta event, he said, and Fiesta royalty will make an appearance at the burning.

“Allow us to walk through this history together,” he said. “I promise you by the end of the show, this will be the Zozobra you have come to know and love.”

Artist Will Shuster started the burning of Zozobra back in the early 1920s as a private, nonsecular event for him and his friends. Zozobra represented their woes, and torching Old Man Gloom freed them from their glooms. The burning grew in popularity and was eventually held in conjunction with the beginning of Fiesta

de Santa Fe, though the two groups are not connected.

Shuster gave control of the burning to the nonprofit Kiwanis Club in 1964 — with the conditions that the group perpetually put on the event and that all proceeds benefit charity. Sandoval has said funds generated by Zozobra help cover the event’s cost, and remaining funds are used for scholarships and charitable grants.

“My volunteers and I are doing this to make sure we give something back to the community,” he said.

In 1976, complaints about huge crowds, public drinking and violent incidents led organizers to delay the entire Fiesta until after Labor Day weekend in an effort to make the event more manageable and locally oriented. Zozobra had previously burned the Friday during the Fiesta de Santa Fe, but the city of Santa Fe halted that practice following an uproarious 1997 celebration that ended with a shooting death on the Plaza.

Sandoval argued that won’t be a concern this year. Fiesta celebrations don’t start until next week, so Zozobra-goers won’t convene on the Plaza after the burn. The Plaza will be closed that night as the Fiesta Council prepares for its annual Arts and Crafts Market.

Clearing the crowd is one matter.

Maintaining it in the confines of Fort Marcy Ballpark is another, Sandoval said.

Kiwanis contracted with a private firm that will bring more than 100 guards to the park. About 70 ushers — all former Air Force members — will scan the crowd for any potential problems and report those concerns to security or law enforcement authorities. Security guards also will conduct body searches at the entrance gates.

Santa Fe Police Department Capt.

Dale Lettenberger said the department does not have major concerns for Friday night. He said every city officer would work a shift between 6 a.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday. Lettenberger wouldn’t disclose how many officers would patrol the Fort Marcy park, but he said there would be enough officers to patrol and also respond to emergencies throughout the city. The department also will be working with the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and the New Mexico State Police.

Lettenberger also advised that spectators arrive early to avoid the downtown traffic snarl after streets are closed. As in years past, Bishops Lodge Road, Artist Road, Old Taos Highway and Murales Road will be closed to motorists. The city will offer a park-and-ride shuttle from city lots to Fort Marcy for $5. Additionally, the New Mexico Rail Runner Express will offer two late-night trains from Santa Fe to Albuquerque.

Kiwanis also received a permit for the Cross of Martyrs park, and the club plans to close it for the event. Lettenberger said the Albuquerque Police Department’s horse patrol unit will help Santa Fe police monitor the park. Sandoval said last year, 3,000 people watched the burning from the Cross of the Martyrs, on a hill that overlooks Fort Marcy, and spectators left alcohol bottles, discarded hypodermic needles and used condoms.

He said Kiwanis volunteers cleaned up the area last year, but nearby residents asked them to close off the park for future burns.

Advocates: Insurers steering sick away Companies finding ways to discourage costliest patients from enrolling in plans

By Tom Murphy The Associated Press

Insurers can no longer reject customers with expensive medical conditions thanks to the health care overhaul. But consumer advocates warn that companies are still using wiggle room to discourage the sickest — and costliest — patients from enrolling.

Some insurers are excluding well-known cancer centers from the list of providers they cover under a plan; requiring patients to make large, initial payments for HIV medications; or delaying participation in public insurance exchanges created by the overhaul.

Advocates and industry insiders say these practices may dissuade the neediest from signing up and make it likelier that the customers these insurers do serve will be healthier — and less expensive.

“It’s the same insurance companies that are up to the same strategies: Take in as much premium as possible and pay out as little as possible,” said Jerry Flanagan, an attorney with the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog.

Insurers acknowledge that people may see changes in coverage, driven in part by how the overhaul affects insurance. But they say prudent business practices, not discrimination against the sick, are key factors behind some of the trends that have raised concerns.

They point out that if customers find a plan they don’t like, they generally have plenty of additional options to choose from both on and off the exchanges.

They also note that the overhaul takes several steps to discourage them from avoiding costly patients. It prevents insurers from marketing or designing a plan that would discourage someone from applying based on their health.

It also calls for insurers to chip into a pool that compensates competitors who wind up with a more expensive patient population. That lowers their incentive for discouraging the sick from enrolling.

“Health plans now guarantee coverage for individuals and families regardless of health status,” said Clare Krusing, a spokeswoman for the trade association America’s Health Insurance Plans, or AHIP. There are three major ways insurers still might steer sick or expensive patients away from their coverage:

elsewhere because they don’t want to pay expensive, out-of-network rates.

Narrow insurer networks might include only 30 percent or less of a market’s hospitals, as opposed to 70 percent or more for a broader network, according to the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. These narrow networks have grown more common in recent years, especially in coverage sold on new public health insurance exchanges created by the overhaul.

An Associated Press survey of the nation’s top cancer centers this spring found that patients covered under the health care law could encounter barriers to access in many cases. For instance, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center said it is included in the networks of less than half of the plans sold on the Houston area’s public insurance exchange.

Aside from excluding patients, narrow networks also can help insurers form a healthy customer base by lowering the cost of coverage. A narrow provider network gives insurers leverage to squeeze better rates out of doctors who want to be included in that network in order to get the insurer’s business.

Better rates lead to lower premiums, and young and healthy people generally shop for insurance based on price.

“They’re the ones that don’t check the provider directory,” said Bob Laszewski, a former insurance executive turned industry consultant.

Insurers say plans with narrow networks are among many coverage choices consumers can make when they shop for insurance, and they are not an attempt to dodge the sick.

Narrow provider networks help maximize value by grouping providers “who have a track record of delivering highquality, cost-effective care,” said Krusing, the AHIP spokeswoman.

She added that insurers who sell coverage on the overhaul’s public insurance exchanges have to offer more than one plan. It would make little sense for them to steer patients away from one plan when that person could just choose another option from the same insurer with broader benefits.

The overhaul sets some standards for provider networks, and a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services spokesman said regulators plan to increase their review of these networks for 2015 to figure out whether they need to strengthen requirements.

Form narrow networks

Cause prescription sticker shock

Insurers can lower their chances for covering patients with expensive medical conditions like cancer and autism simply by limiting the number of doctors and hospitals in a coverage network. That would send those patients searching for coverage

Some plans are requiring patients to initially pay 30 percent or more of the bill for drugs that can cost several thousand dollars a month. HIV drugs and multiple sclerosis medications are among them.

The overhaul caps the annual amounts

patients are required to pay for these socalled out-of-pocket expenses. Still, some say the higher cost-sharing requirements can steer patients that need these medications away from enrolling.

“It’s another way to send a message to sicker patients that says, ‘If you’re taking these medications, we’d rather not sell insurance to you,” Flanagan said.

The AIDS Institute filed a complaint with U.S. Health and Human Services department earlier this summer against four Florida insurance companies over the issue.

Insurers say their plans follow HHS guidelines and cover all medically necessary HIV drugs. They also note that the price patients pay reflects, to some degree, what drugmakers charge for their medications.

Insurers also say customers have options if they find a prescription plan they dislike.

In some markets, a customer may have more than a dozen choices, some of which might offer better coverage or a lower-cost alternative for their prescriptions.

But AIDS Institute Deputy Executive Director Carl Schmid said he worries that patient choices will dissolve over time if the high prescription payments spread to other insurers in a market, and “the good plans will become the bad plans.”

Enter markets cautiously Another way insurers might land a healthier population is by playing the waiting game.

The nation’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealth Group Inc., will dive into the overhaul’s public insurance exchanges with plans to sell 2015 individual coverage in 24 exchanges. That’s up from only four in 2014.

These exchanges debuted last fall and offer shoppers a chance to compare and buy policies, often with help from an income-based tax credit.

UnitedHealth’s delayed growth could be a savvy way to avoid some of the sickest patients who likely rushed to sign up for insurance in the initial year of the exchanges, said Laszewski, the industry consultant.

That could free UnitedHealth to enter markets and sign up healthier patients after other insurers, most likely nonprofits with deep community roots, have “taken the bullet” the first year, he said.

Health insurers are still figuring out plan options for 2015, so there are no signs yet that other insurers are following UnitedHealth’s example.

UnitedHealth said it had always planned a measured approach. It needed a year to set up provider networks and see how the exchanges worked in their debut before deciding whether to plunge in deeper.

Spokesman Tyler Mason said the insurer wasn’t waiting for those competitors to sign up all the sick patients first.

LOCAL NEWS St. Vincent, union resume contract talks Sides haven’t met in month since labor deal expired

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

Negotiations between Santa Fe’s only general hospital and the union that represents nearly 500 of its nurses and support staff resumed contract talks Wednesday, nearly a month after a labor contract expired.

Weeks of high-profile posturing between New Mexico District 1199 of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees and Christus

St. Vincent Regional Medical Center — which included a brief strike threat, picketing and pressure from Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales for the hospital to return to the table — finally gave way to low-key talks.

Members of the hospital’s negotiating team emerged from the Sage Inn for a break at 1:10 p.m. Wednesday unwilling to comment about the substance of the talks.

“Both sides agreed to a confidential meeting and as such, we are not in a

position to comment on the meeting,” Christus St. Vincent spokesman Arturo Delgado said in a written statement.

Union President Fonda Osborn said the hospital demanded the negotiation be kept secret. She was pleased, however, that hospital officials were willing to negotiate in person for the first time since the St. Vincent’s contract with the union expired July 31.

“We traded proposals,” she said. “But here’s the deal: We’re not happy with the proposal they gave us.”

The central issue dividing the hospital and the union has been staffing.

Wednesday’s meeting did not change that.

The union complained that understaffing has compromised patient safety and wants the hospital to commit to staffing levels equivalent to half of comparable facilities.

Hospital administrators say key indicators of patient care are satisfactory, and adding nurses won’t improve them. The hospital’s administration prefers to leave references to a specific staffing level out of the contract, instead seeking to focus on improved results for patients by offering the

union incentive pay for reaching goals in that area.

The union made concessions on several minor issues, such as how the hospital would calculate its patient count and how thoroughly and early work schedules would be released.

The union also backed off its previous proposal that would have taken staffing disputes to arbitration, instead allowing a mediator to intervene, Osborn said.

The hospital’s offer tendered

C-130 stops overnight on N.M. 599; continues to Los Alamos where it will be used in training The New Mexican

The driver of a transport truck moving the fuselage of an old cargo plane to Los Alamos National Laboratory was planning to spend Wednesday night on the side of N.M. 599 after his trip got delayed due to permitting.

The C-130 fuselage, which will be used to train first responders at the lab, was expected to depart Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque at 9 a.m. with a New Mexico State Police escort.

But the trip was delayed until the proper certifications were released by the state.

The driver, who declined to

give his name, didn’t leave the base until 1 p.m.

When he arrived in Santa Fe on the bypass, officers decided to stop the rig near Ridgetop Road, saying it was too late to proceed onto U.S. 84/285 due to afternoon traffic. The driver said he would stay overnight in his cab and leave at 9 a.m. Thursday.

On Thursday morning, the shipment will travel up St. Francis Drive to N.M. 502 and N.M. 4 on its way to Technical Area 49 at LANL. The lab has urged drivers who might encounter the convoy on that route to be aware of possible delays and adjust their schedules or routes if necessary.

States urged to stop bidding for Tesla plant Advocacy groups say winner loses when it needs funds for infrastructure

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Advocacy groups in five states, including New Mexico, have joined together to oppose a bidding war for the Tesla Motors’ battery plant that the company says would employ up to 6,500 people.

The SouthWest Organizing Project, headquartered in Albuquerque, is among the organizations hoping to head off a monetary competition between states for Tesla’s Gigafactory.

Tesla, a manufacturer of electric cars, opened the auction by announcing early this year that New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Texas were finalists for the plant. The company later added California, home to its assembly plant, to the list of contenders.

“The opening bid is set at $500 million in subsidies,” the organizations said in their letter this week to residents of all five states. “Since Tesla has chosen to make the process public, we write as unified voices … to argue that our states have more to gain from cooperation than from competition.”

A Washington-based orga-

nization called Good Jobs First joined the groups in opposing an economic war between states for Tesla.

“Overspending on Tesla, or any other company, could be a net-loss game in which fewer public resources are then available for investments in areas that benefit all employers, such as education and training, efficient infrastructure and public safety,” the groups said in their letter.

In an interview, Javier Benavidez of the SouthWest Organizing Project said all five states covet the Tesla factory and the jobs it would bring. This makes restraint in using public subsidies all the more important, he said.

“We’re very pro job growth, but these deals don’t always pan out,” Benavidez said. “In New Mexico, we saw Intel receive $25 million in tax breaks from the Legislature last year, and then it cut 400 jobs.”

He faulted lawmakers and the administration of Gov. Susana Martinez for enacting a tax break that lacked accountability and any guarantee of job growth.

Martinez’s secretary of economic development, Jon Barela, has repeatedly praised the corporate tax cuts as smart public policy and business strategy. Barela said corporate interest in New Mexico had increased since the bill was approved by lawmakers and signed by Martinez.

Tesla’s expression of interest in New Mexico as a plant site dates to 2007, when Bill Richardson was governor. The company announced then that it would build its auto manufacturing plant on Albuquerque’s west side in exchange for numerous public subsidies. But Tesla reneged and instead built the plant in California after obtaining a higher offer.

This time, Benavidez’s group and the others are arguing publicly against subsidies that pit states against one another. They call it “a race to the bottom.”

“We call upon you to communicate and cooperate across state lines to strike a fiscally responsible deal that is fair to residents and businesses alike. It is time to break the harmful pattern of one state ‘winning’ a high-profile competition with other states left believing they need to offer even larger tax breaks to win future deals,” they wrote in their letter.

In addition to the SouthWest Organizing Project and Good Jobs First, organizations urging that states not engage in a bidding war for Tesla’s plant are the Arizona Public Interest Research Group, the California Budget Project, the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada and Texans for Public Justice.

The federal prosecutor in Albuquerque said Wednesday that he plans to drop charges against the son of embattled Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella.

U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez issued a statement saying his office filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Tommy Rodella Jr., 26, because of “a medical condition that puts into doubt whether he has the cognitive ability to form the specific intent necessary to prove the charges against him beyond a reasonable doubt.”

On Aug. 12, a federal grand jury indicted Sheriff Rodella, 52, on suspicion of violating the civil rights of a motorist by assaulting the man with a pistol and then lying about what happened in an arrest report.

The younger Rodella, who was driving a privately owned vehicle during the incident, also was named.

Prosecutors have said Rodella Jr. at one point pulled the other driver out of his car and threw him on the ground.

Both father and son have pleaded not guilty.

The sheriff’s trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 22.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Lorenzo Garcia will have to rule on whether charges against Rodella Jr. will be dropped.

The motion says prosecutors learned about the medical condition after the indictment was filed and after FBI agents arrested the Rodellas on Aug. 15. The

City, state are coy on ‘Bachelor’ date Emails show budding relationship to land episode of show in Santa Fe

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

After securing up to $100,000 in funding, the city of Santa Fe’s tourism department started to scope out romantic locations for a date with The Bachelor.

Officials won’t disclose whether Santa Fe landed an episode on the highly rated ABC reality dating show.

“It’s not a dead deal, and it’s not a live deal,” Randy Randall, director of the Santa Fe convention and visitors bureau, now called TOURISM Santa Fe, said in an interview Wednesday.

“It’s still being discussed,” he said.

A series of emails obtained this week under an open-records request don’t definitively answer the question either.

But documents hint at the possibility of a budding romance, if only because both parties are still exchanging proposals on the show, which announced Wednesday it has selected its newest bachelor, 32-year-old Iowa farmer Chris Soules.

Soules came in third last season on The Bachelorette. The new season of The Bachelor is expected to

Spain.

His greatest quest, she said, was to learn more about Don Pedro Peralta, one of New Mexico’s first governors, who is considered Santa Fe’s founder.

García de Duran said García’s love of history also led him to chart his own family’s genealogical tree for eight generations, as far back as the 1700s.

García was often quoted in The New Mexican on historical topics such as the actual year Santa Fe was founded — he asserted that it was 1610 and not 1607, as some others contended.

He was designated as the city historian in 2010, García de Duran said. He made headlines for his work in helping to coordinate efforts to create a time capsule for the city’s 400th anniversary celebration.

He said he hoped that the city would continue celebrating its heritage come 2110. “I won’t be around here 100 years from

now. Chances are, I won’t be around for the 425th,” he told a reporter in 2011. “But I’m hoping that we started something with the 400th.”

In addition to serving on the 400th Anniversary Committee, he was a past member of the Santa Fe Fiesta Council and the Caballeros DeVargas.

His daughter said he wasn’t afraid to correct others who dropped accent marks from historical names. And he didn’t suffer those who claimed a pure Spanish lineage. “My dad would look up and ask, ‘Did you have documentation?’ ” García de Duran said. “It had to be documented. He was pretty sharp in figuring it all out.”

García de Duran said her father married Antonia Pineda in 1955. The two had four daughters before they divorced in 1978. The separation was amicable, the daughter said, and her father remained cordial to her

mother following the split.

“He would open the door for her,” García de Duran said. “He gave her hugs. There was nothing but respect.”

Patricia García described her father as a strict disciplinarian, something she had a hard time dealing with as a child.

She recalled that she was once cleaning the garage with a push broom when he saw her dragging it instead of pushing it.

“I’ll never forget it,” she said.

“He explained sternly that it was called a push broom for a reason. You had to understand the tool. Now I own a construction company. He instilled things into me very young.”

Patricia Garcia, who owns and runs Sherpa Stone, said her father never discouraged her from becoming a business owner, telling her that if she was going to do something, she ought to do it right.

She said her fondest memo-

ries of her father include breakfasts at the Southside Plaza Cafe. They talked about current events, local politics, Spanish soccer clubs — he was a Real Madrid fan — and among many other things. She also said her father devoured books, and had a library that rivaled some public collections.

García de Duran said her father loved to run, and had competed in marathon races.

He is survived by four daughters, seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. The family plans a rosary service at 7 p.m. Sept. 3 at the Rosario Chapel, 540 Rosario Blvd. A funeral Mass is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept. 4 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.

Warrant reveals Talks: Hospital offer is one already rejected Despite the man shot 6 times gulf between Continued from Page A-6

Pair were working on east-side project

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

A 45-year-old Santa Fe man who was found dead Aug. 14 in a yard in the 1100 block of East Alameda Street had been shot six times, court documents show.

A man has been arrested in the killing, but police still aren’t sure of the motive.

A search Edwin warrant Watters affidavit filed in state District Court says an autopsy showed that Diego Sena was shot with a .22-caliber handgun — including two shots in the back.

Edwin Watters, 57, who had been living in the East Alameda compound while remodeling an apartment, is being held in the Santa Fe County jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond on an open count of murder, records show.

Paulina Sena, Diego Sena’s niece, has told The New Mexi-

can that her cousin, who owns the property, had hired Watters to do remodeling work and that Watters had hired Diego Sena Diego Sena as a construction laborer to help with the project.

She also said the two men had a rocky relationship from the start.

At about 8:30 p.m. Aug. 14, two city employees who were near Patrick Smith Park, across East Alameda Street from the compound, called 911 to report that they had heard about five or six gunshots, the affidavit says.

When an officer arrived at the scene, Watters immediately raised his hands and said, “I shot him,” the affidavit states.

The officer saw Sena’s body on the ground in a pool of blood, the document says. The officer also noted that Sena was bleeding from the chin.

The affidavit says an officer obtained a search warrant for the clothes that Watters was wearing that night to determine whether Diego Sena’s blood was on the clothing.

Wednesday mirrors the one that the nurse’s union already rejected once by a margin of more than 90 percent.

It would aim for staffing equal to 40 percent of comparable hospitals and leave staffing decisions in the hands of the hospital board’s Quality Control Committee, a group that includes physicians, administrators, nursing supervisors and others.

That group has publicly denounced the link between increased staffing and better patient care.

The union contends it is not adequately represented on that panel, and Osborn said because the hospital’s offer lacks any way to enforce staffing at the 40th percentile of similar hospitals, the union can’t accept it.

Despite the gulf between the two sides, no threat of a strike from the union is imminent.

The union tried that gambit just before its contract expired, but then backed away from it, instead picketing while staying on the job.

A strike would prove costly to the hospital, which offered up to $6,000 a week to traveling nurses when the threat of a strike loomed.

An impasse, which can be declared when both sides have stopped making offers and

the two sides, no threat of a strike from the union is imminent. posing substantive questions of each other, would benefit the hospital. It would then get to enact the offer before the union.

Several obstacles currently block an impasse in the negotiation.

For instance, both sides continue to present offers, and complaints are pending against the hospital from the union to the National Labor Relations Board. That must be resolved before an impasse can be declared. The union pressed for face-to-face negotiations as soon as talks broke down just before the most recent contract expired.

As recently as Friday, the union had passed along a letter to the hospital urging its negotiators to return to the table.

Until formal talks resumed Wednesday, the hospital had been content to communicate

though a federal mediator. The closest the hospital had come to resuming negotiations was its offer several weeks ago to hold confidential talks with a select group of up to four union representatives. The union rejected that offer.

Last week, after joining nurses at a rally in front of the hospital where he characterized the hospital’s administration as the obstacle to negotiations advancing, Mayor Gonzales urged St. Vincent CEO Bruce Tassin to return to the table for formal negotiations. “[Gonzales] urged Mr. Tassin to send his full negotiating team back to the table as soon as possible,” city spokesman Matt Ross said Wednesday.

“Mr. Tassin expressed an interest in doing exactly that, and the mayor urged him to stay at the table once negotiations resumed, as long as it takes to reach an agreement.”

Hospital administrators aimed to keep communicating with the union all along, according to Delgado.

“Our desire is to continue to negotiate in good faith and to reach an agreement with NM1199,” he said in his statement. “Our goal is to always have a productive exchange of proposals and ideas, no matter the format or setting. We will continue to work toward a resolution.”

More pressure on the hospital about staffing came to bear Wednesday, when the Santa Fe City Council unanimously passed a resolution supporting safe hospital staffing statewide.

In a contradiction to the stance Christus St. Vincent’s administration has taken, the council resolution emphasizes the relationship between staffing and patient outcomes, supports nurses having a say in staffing plans and urges the Legislature to pass laws establishing minimum staffing levels.

The union has proposed more negotiation sessions next week and is awaiting the hospital’s response, Osborn said. The mayor hopes the face-to-face talks continue.

“This is something that I’ve been calling for publicly and in private conversations with both parties, so I’m glad the return to the negotiating table is happening,” Gonzales said. “Based on my talks with both groups, I believe they have a mutual interest in finding a solution, and I know the issues each side is focused on can be addressed constructively. What’s important now is that both sides remain committed to staying at the table until that agreement is hammered out.”

ity, claiming they had paid to use the center and had a contract to prove it.

In the course of the sheriff’s investigation, a deputy questioned a clerk who handles rentals for county facilities. The clerk said she sometimes got calls from Commissioner Barney Trujillo asking to book the center, but no one ever showed up at county offices to pay rental fees.

Commissioner Trujillo, who has not been named as a suspect, said Wednesday that the sheriff’s investigation was a way for Rodella to retaliate against him because he has been “the most vocal from the commission asking for his resignation.”

“Honestly, to me, it’s just an act of desperation by a sheriff who is obviously retaliating because we asked for his resignation,” Trujillo said. “But at the same time, I welcome any investigation from a competent law enforcement agency such as the state police.”

He noted that state police investigators have not approached him for questioning.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Boss makes team eat together daily Dear Annie: My boss insists that all of her employees eat lunch with her in the cafeteria every day.

She really gets out of whack if we decide to use our “unpaid” time to do what we want. She says we aren’t team players if we don’t eat together. And for the most part, lunch is all about her. She controls the conversation, which is all about her life. Today, she shared that she scolded a family member for bringing their cell phone to the family dinner table. A few of us at the table had cell phones with us at the time.

I don’t know how to handle this.

We’re a small operation and can’t avoid one another. I think I should be able to text my kids during my lunch hour. She can’t stand to be argued with and never apologizes.

We all need our jobs. What can we do? — Cornered in N.Y. Dear N.Y.: It is unfortunate that your boss is so clueless and narcissistic. Does she have a supervisor?

If so, that is the person to whom you need to direct your complaint.

You also could approach your boss as a group, perhaps sending her a letter signed by everyone, explaining that lunch together is nice, but you also need a break during the day to handle personal things that come up while you’re at work, and you don’t want to do it on company time. You can ask whether she would be willing to set aside half of the lunch hour for personal time and let her know how much all of you would appreciate it. But only you can assess how much you value this job and what you risk by pursuing this.

Dear Annie: Last year, my siblings loaned my father a decent sum of money, and Dad has yet to pay them back. I was not in a position to help then, but since that time, knowing my father has had financial issues (notably as a result of his poor decisions), I have helped in smaller ways, mostly by buying food for him.

Recently, Dad started dating a woman and has talked about various vacations they have taken and trips they are planning. My siblings don’t live around here and

are not as close to Dad, so they have no idea where the money is going. Although I don’t want to get in the middle, I think they have a right to know that Dad could be paying them back in some small measure rather than using the money for vacations with his girlfriend. I sure would want to know. — F. Dear F.: Are you sure Dad is paying for these excursions? It’s quite possible the new girlfriend is paying for these trips. You can ask him why, if he has money to spare, he’s not giving it to your siblings, and yes, you can mention to your siblings that Dad went on a trip or two. But we don’t recommend you chastise Dad or rile up your siblings. They may be delighted that he’s getting out and enjoying his life, and the money might not be that important to them. Or they may have loaned him the money without expecting repayment.

Any argument about those loans should be between your siblings and their father. No good will come of you putting yourself in the middle.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Saying,” the diabetic woman who wants to bring her own food into a restaurant. She should understand that the owners are not being rude by not allowing it. It is a health violation.

There is nearly always an item on the menu that someone with diabetes could eat or ask to have prepared in a way that wouldn’t violate their diet. Those items might not be the person’s first choice, but they are adequate compensation for the ability to share a table with her friends, and next time, they can go to a place of her choosing. — Common Sense Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Pets get back-to-school blues Dogs may whine for summer companions

HELP PETS COPE u Make your departure a happy time with toys and treats. u Create a place in the house where the dog feels safe. u Start the new routine before school begins. u Don’t indulge behavior with baby talk or sympathy. u See a vet if it doesn’t improve.

By Sue Manning Associated Press

LOS ANGELES oung people aren’t the only ones who get back-to-school blues. Pooches used to months of constant playtime can get upset when their best buddies disappear with the dog days of summer.

Many dogs whine and wait eagerly at the front door but eventually adjust to the absence of their young owners when they are in class. But millions of dogs can feel abandoned, sad and unable to cope — and they look for ways to lash out.

Nearly 20 percent of the nation’s 80 million dogs have separation anxiety, said Dr. Nick Dodman of Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts.

Some 70 percent of dogs with separation anxiety will bark, howl or whine; 60 percent will destroy something, leaving behind scratched doors, damaged blinds or torn curtains; and a third are so upset they have accidents, Dodman said.

Dianne Larson of Santa Clarita, Calif., has seen it firsthand.

School started two weeks ago, and year-old Ruby, a black Lab, still searches for Larson’s son Tanner, 14, when he’s gone.

“She stays in his room. If his door is closed, she will whine to get in,” Dianne Larson said.

If the dog isn’t in Tanner’s room, she’s at the front window watching for him.

Side effects for anxious dogs don’t stop at whimpering. Some

But the dogs mostly sleep while the youngster is at school.

“Honestly, they don’t really seem fazed by it other than when Harry gets on and off the school bus,” Williams said.

For those whose dogs have more serious problems, other more expensive options include pet sitters, dog walkers and doggy day camp.

For the young Grimmett sisters in Edmund, Okla., their dogs, an English setter and a Tanner Larson holds 8-week-old Ruby at the Best Friends Yorkshire terrier, got plenty of Animal Society in Los Angeles.

U.S. to consider spousal abuse in immigration claims Guatemalan woman says she fled abusive husband

By Alicia A. Caldwell The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A government immigration board has determined for the first time that domestic violence victims may be able to qualify for asylum in the United States. The ruling comes in the case of a Guatemalan woman who crossed into the U.S. illegally in 2005 after fleeing her husband.

She said she called local police in

Guatemala to report the abuse but was repeatedly told that the authorities would not interfere in her marriage.

She argued that the abuse and the lack of police response should make her eligible for asylum.

In the first-of-its kind ruling Tuesday, the Justice Department’s Board of Immigration Appeals agreed, at least in part. In the nine-page decision, the appeals board concluded that the unidentified immigrant met at least one criterion for asylum: as a married Guatemalan woman who couldn’t leave her relationship, she was part of a particular social group.

The Homeland Security Department, which prosecutes deportation cases, did not contest the immigrant’s argument. The appeals board sent the case back to an immigration judge.

The board sent the case back to an immigration judge for a final ruling.

The ruling by the board that decides appeals from federal immigration courts is significant because it means that the government now recognizes domestic violence victims as a potentially protected class of people seeking refuge in the United States.

The decision establishes a broad and firm foothold for an untold number

High court considers county liability in excessive-force suit Tribal officer sued over highway arrest

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Should Santa Fe County taxpayers have to defend tribal police officers accused of misconduct in arrests of nonIndians?

The New Mexico Supreme Court heard arguments in the case Wednesday, five years after a controversial arrest led to a lawsuit.

Officer Glen Gutierrez, while on duty for the Pojoaque Pueblo Police Department, stopped a motorist from El Paso on Sept. 5, 2009. Gutierrez

pulled over Jose Luis Loya on U.S. 84/285, a state-maintained highway within the boundaries of the pueblo. Gutierrez arrested Loya on suspicion of reckless driving.

Loya later filed a complaint against Gutierrez, alleging false arrest, malicious prosecution and use of excessive force.

Gutierrez was in his tribal police uniform and driving a tribal vehicle when he made the arrest. But he also was on duty as a commissioned deputy sheriff of Santa Fe County, giving him the power to jail nonIndians such as Loya.

Loya sought damages from Gutierrez individually. In turn, Gutierrez made a third-party complaint against Santa Fe

of women whose asylum claims have been routinely denied in the past.

But proving all the elements of any asylum case can still be difficult. Those seeking protection have to prove they will be persecuted in their home country because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.

They also have to prove that their home government is either involved in the persecution or unable or unwilling to stop it.

It wasn’t immediately clear how the ruling will impact thousands of pending asylum cases and thousands

County, saying he was acting under a commission from the sheriff’s office, so the county should be liable.

A state district judge and the state Court of Appeals both ruled against Gutierrez.

The district judge, Barbara J. Vigil, now chief justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court, found that the county did not have a duty to defend or compensate Gutierrez. Her reasoning was that he was not a public employee or an officer of a “governmental entity” because tribes are sovereign.

The Supreme Court, though, accepted the case for consideration. After hearing arguments Wednesday, it said it would issue a decision later.

JOE M. QUINTANA

Our loving sister, friend, and aunt Nadine H Ornburg has left this world for a place that is "peaceful and calm". She left this world surrounded by love and peace.

Though our hearts are heavy, she is now free from the earthly confines and is free to reunite with loved ones passed including her partner, Darien Gracen, and her parents, Neil and Alice Ornburg.

Nadine was born in 1946 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and from the beginning her compassion shined. She always took care of her two sisters and, in turn, they shared much laughter. She grew as a free spirit and went on to live in Colorado and eventually settled in New Mexico. Along the way she became a massage therapist and eventually graduated from Naropa as a Psychotherapist. She went on to teach and heal others.

She is survived by her sisters Laurian (Jim) Reiners, JaNice Lucas, and her nieces and nephews (Alison Reiners, Benjamin [Tami and Donovan] Reiners, Theresa [Stuart, Max and Macey] Torevell, Anna [Cane] Ridgway, Liv [Joe and Vinny] Vitale, and Tommy Lucas), Jennifer Hinton, Patrice Bazile, Lola Bazile, Ken Bowling, and Margaret Renner.

She has given so much to this world and all those around her. It is clear that everyone she comes in contact with she quickly turns into a friend.

COMMENTARY: ROBERT BRUCE WARE

Militarized cops created more chaos

N

ight had just fallen in Ferguson, Mo., as I watched a standoff from on the town’s main thoroughfare. Approximately 150 protesters stood on West Florissant Avenue, their hands held up to symbolize nonviolent compliance.

A hundred yards south, the six-lane avenue was blocked by a line of police vehicles, including armored SWAT carriers. The officers held assault rifles, wielded riot gear, and — absurdly in a suburban setting — wore full camouflage.

The scene was surreal and terrifying.

I had gone up to Ferguson from my home nearby in St. Louis County to witness the clashes that had erupted after a white police officer killed an unarmed black teenager a week earlier. As a university researcher, I’ve traveled to study the brutality and violence in Russia’s North Caucasus, and I was stuck by the irony of driving along a familiar road to observe the chaos only a few miles away.

In Ferguson on Aug. 17, I didn’t see authorities make efforts to restore calm.

Instead, they made aggressive attempts to intimidate and draw battle lines.

The two sides were unevenly matched — one was dressed for peace; the other was clearly prepared for war.

Ferguson has shown us how militarization of local law enforcement does more to stir chaos than to bring order.

Before the standoff, the protesters had been marching peacefully. A local church group walked behind them, singing hymns and handing out fliers that quoted the Bible on justice and mercy.

Near the burnt-out QuikTrip, now an icon of the Ferguson protests, adults and children stood along the sidewalk watching the demonstration. An old woman in a wheelchair rolled by. The march passed several county deputies who paid little attention to the nonviolent protest.

OUR VIEW

Back at the table; now keep talking

W

But soon, I saw dozens of people streaming back northward. Some were crying. Several said police were firing tear gas and rubber bullets further down the street. Two protesters passed around white fabric facial-filtration masks.

I moved to the front line of the protest, which now faced the array of military-style police vehicles. Over a loudspeaker, an officer ordered the crowd to “leave the area.”

The people near me began backing away, but almost immediately, police launched tear gas canisters toward us. A flash-bang grenade flew past my head and detonated just in front of me, interrupting my retreat.

The line of police vehicles began rolling toward us and more gas was fired into the retreating crowd.

Chaos ensued. I started running to escape the sounds of shooting behind me. A protester with a loudspeaker told us to move to a nearby park, and several young people wearing shirts that said “peacekeepers” ran across the street shouting unintelligible instructions. Lost in the terrified crowd, they seemed to go unnoticed.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, the federal government has spent billions of dollars on military equipment for state and local police. In addition to Defense Department giveaways, the State Homeland Security Program — which provides funding to states for planning and training to respond to terrorism and other threats — has budgeted about $4 million for Missouri and a separate $3 million specifically for the St. Louis area.

The federal Urban Areas Security Initiative, which provides funding to metro areas for the same purpose, distributed $81 million to the St. Louis area from 2003 to 2012.

And it’s not just Missouri.

Since 1997, the Defense Department has given more than $4.3 billion in military equipment to local law enforcement agencies — nearly a half-billion dollars worth last year alone.

Counties across America — from Maricopa in Arizona to Richland in South Carolina.

— now possess tanks with 360-degree rotating machine gun turrets. Their .50-caliber bullets can penetrate buildings several city blocks away.

Richland County’s sheriff dubbed his tank “The Peacemaker.”

On Saturday, President Barack Obama rightly ordered a review of the federal programs that give local police departments easy access to this kind of military equipment. This is a good first step.

Law enforcement officials may mistake their battlefield pose for community protection, but to Ferguson residents, military hardware on neighborhood streets signaled a sharp escalation of violence. Wielding weapons typically used for occupation and oppression — not protection — served only to inflame the crowds.

As we rushed away from the police line that Sunday night, a black man succinctly explained to me the problem that America faces: “It’s not a racial thing,” he said, “It’s a police thing. It’s America against the police.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Get scientific opinions for river cleanup

R

egarding the recent story (“City halts volunteer’s river cleanup after complaints,” Aug. 20), I recommend that three independent scientific opinions be sought from professional horticulturalists.

I believe we will find that professionals in the field overwhelmingly support Michael Smith’s approach.

He makes a lot of common sense, too.

Save the Santa Fe River.

Oppose SNAP changes For several years, the AARP, through the AARP Foundation Drive to End Hunger program, has been working not only to put food in the hands of hungry people but also to identify viable ways to end hunger in our country.

Knowing that New Mexico ranks second in the nation for senior hunger and first in childhood hunger, it is with much dismay that we view the state’s plan to further restrict people’s access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. (“State pushes to renew work rule for food benefits,” Aug. 5) AARP New Mexico has sent a letter to state Human Services Secretary Sidonie Squier, urging her to extend the 2009

work waiver for SNAP recipients as well as implement a time-limited waiver for able-bodied adults without dependents for fiscal y ear 2015.

Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service has made it clear that federal law exempts adults over 50 and children under 18 from the work requirement, so expanding the work requirement to include these individuals would not comply with federal law.

Improving access to food so that no individual goes hungry is essential for a strong society and a productive state.

It is AARP New Mexico’s belief that we should be doing more to feed those in our state who are hungry rather than limiting their access to food.

Nurses exhausted As a recent patient at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, I want to share my perception of the current conflict. While all my nurses were competent, compassionate and caring, they were obviously overworked to the point of exhaustion. One nurse, at the end of her 12-hour shift, was unable to insert an IV and had to call in a “fresher” nurse to do so. On numerous occasions, my call light was not answered because all the nurses were busy attending to their other patients. My roommate also had this experience. I realize that these may be rather minor incidents, but in some cases, failure to respond could have dire consequences. It is obvious that nurse/patient ratio is dangerously low and demands change.

Lynn Warman

ith little fanfare, negotiators from Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and the union that represents nurses and medical technicians sat down to talk this week — for the first in-person negotiations since July 31. That’s when the contract between St. Vincent and New Mexico District 1199 of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees expired. Since then, communication was in writing with the help of a federal mediator.

It was time for the two sides to sit down again. Contracts have to be worked out in person, with both sides willing to listen and be reasonable. The union believes that current staffing at the hospital is not adequate; administrators disagree. Further, they don’t believe union staffing targets would increase patient satisfaction. Between those two positions, surely there is room for compromise.

For example, the hospital could adopt some of the union goals and implement them, with the option of making changes should patient satisfaction not increase. The talks between staff and administrators could continue, even after a contract is assigned, united by a common goal — excellent patient care.

Speaking from the perspective of patients, having a nurse or orderly available to answer a buzzer quickly seemingly would result in greater satisfaction. Judging from letters to the editor, patients who are not happy with their care at the hospital repeatedly mention waits for pain medicine or help in ordering food or using the bathroom or going to the nurses’ station and seeing staff too busy to answer their calls. Many letter writers mention that they now plan to travel for elective surgery or other care requiring hospitalization. Taking dollars out of our community hospital won’t improve matters. However, people will go where they perceive they will find the best care.

Without a contract, the situation remains unsettled.

For the good of Santa Fe, the talks needed to resume so this contract dispute can be worked out. Nurses have the right to strike — they are not doing so because walking out on patients is hardly a nurse’s preferred course of action.

Should the impasse continue, though, a strike is a very real possibility. It would cost nurses and technicians dearly, because strikers lose salary when on a picket line. It would cost the hospital, too, in millions paid to nurses and technicians to cross a picket line. Most dearly, it would cost community trust — no sick person wants to be in the hospital in the midst of a labor dispute.

That’s why, after a month of not speaking in person, it was time to sit down for serious bargaining. Call it a gift to Santa Fe just in time for Labor Day.

The past 100 years From the Santa Fe New Mexican: Aug. 28, 1914: “There is good reason to believe that the war in Old Mexico is at an end; the soldiers have run out of ammunition and leaders out of money. Even tortillas are getting scarce and the people are thinking of starting a ‘back to the farm’ movement.”

This is the statement of L.B. VickRoy, prominent merchant of Denver and for years in business in Santa Fe. Mr. VickRoy is in the city today on his way home, after a tour of southern Arizona and a trip along the Mexican border.

Aug. 28, 1964: Hobbs — A kangaroo hopped across the highway in front of Mrs. Robert Hammond and her 11-year-old son, David as they were driving along N.M. 8 just north of Oil Center near Hobbs. Both saw the animal plainly and both were positive it was a kangaroo. It was estimated to be about 4½ feet tall. The only explanation here of the appearance was that the animal had escaped from a zoo or circus and had gone wild.

Newsmakers Diane Sawyer exits as ABC evening news anchor

Diane Sawyer

David Muir

NEW YORK — Diane Sawyer signed off as anchor of ABC’s World News on Wednesday, telling viewers that it has been wonderful to be the “home port” of the network’s news team each weeknight.

She will be replaced next week by David Muir. The 68-year-old Sawyer, one of television news’ best-known personalities, has anchored ABC’s flagship newscast since December 2009.

While it’s been known for months that this was Sawyer’s last week as anchor, it wasn’t until she tweeted earlier Wednesday that it became clear she wasn’t anchoring on Thursday and Friday.

Even when the night’s news is bad, Sawyer said she felt she shared a conviction with viewers that things will get better.

She said of Muir, “he is my friend and you are in strong and steady hands.”

Sawyer isn’t retiring. She said Wednesday that she will move “down the hall and up the stairs” to a reporting job.

World News has been a steady No. 2 in the ratings to NBC’s Nightly News, anchored by Brian Williams. CBS, with Scott Pelley as anchor, is the third-place network.

PREP BOYS SOCCER ST. MICHAEL’S 1, SANTA FE HIGH 0

Stronger St. Mike’s beats Santa Fe High

By James Barron The New Mexican

Maria Sharapova of Russia yells after a point Wednesday against Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania during the second round of the U.S. Open in New York.

There was no reason for the Horsemen of St. Michael’s to reinvent the wheel.

Although there is nothing pleasant about a 4-1 loss to Capital to open the boys soccer season Monday, the Horsemen felt the final score was not as bad as it appeared. Fast forward 48 hours, and any knee-jerk need to make drastic changes were proven false.

Devin DeLeon-Dowd’s 35-yard

goal during the first half combined with an inspired performance by the St. Michael’s defense secured a 1-0 win over Santa Fe High at Ivan Head Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

It was the kind of performance head coach Merritt Brown wanted to see after a disappointing performance against the Jaguars.

However, he had to temper some scoreboard comparing by his players, especially after District 2A-AAAA rival Santa Fe Preparatory throttled the Demons 9-0 on Monday. Brown is more focused on the progress his

team makes through the season than on trying to match their rival’s output.

“It’s easy to get wrapped up in scores,” Brown said. “And we know Prep beat these guys by a huge score.

Prep’s loaded. We know they’re very talented. Our guys kept thinking about the score, but all that really matters is that we make progress every day.”

Like junior goalkeeper Connor Burnham shaking off a poor varsity debut to help shut out Santa Fe High.

Burnham saw a bad start spiral into

a nervous outing after allowing two quick goals — one of which was an own goal by his defense. But he looked much more confident and in control of the net against the Demons. He collected six saves, but also tipped away a pair of first-half shots and was aggressive in intercepting passes into the penalty box.

Burnham saved his best for last as he gobbled up Santa Fe High striker Mario Juarez’s shot from 15 yards in the left flank in the 80th minute,

Sharapova turns it around in three sets

TOUR OF NORTHERN NEW MEXICO CAPITAL HIGH

On the precipice of success

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A year ago at this time, Maria Sharapova was sitting out the U.S. Open, getting checked by doctors and having tests on the surgically repaired right shoulder that has troubled her off and on.

On Wednesday, Sharapova found herself down by a set and facing a break point early in the second at Flushing Meadows, bothered by the whipping wind, her own off-target strokes and an opponent who wasn’t backing down.

As dusk fell and the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights came on, Sharapova came through the way she so often does in the crucible of a third set, beating 95th-ranked Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the second round of the Grand Slam tournament she won in 2006 but has missed twice in the past six years.

Sharapova won in part because of her big shots, yes, but also because she had more in the tank when it mattered.

“Overall, I felt like in the end I was in much better shape than she was, and I could have played another few sets,” Sharapova said. “Mentally that helped me a lot.”

It helped that Dulgheru had played one set over the past five weeks because of inflammation in her right wrist, which was operated on in May 2013 and flared up recently.

Dulgheru, though, pointed to Sharapova’s grit as a key factor, too.

“The thing is that she’s smacking the ball and she’s a fighter. … It can seem that she’s down, that she’s tired, but she’s there,” Dulgheru said.

“She can get mentally really tough.

She hangs in there with you until the end.”

Sharapova improved to 17-6 in three-setters this season, including four wins in a row that went the distance en route to the title at the French Open in June, her fifth Grand Slam trophy.

“It’s really good to get through,” said Sharapova, who faces 2013 Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki next. “Put yourself in a really tough position, but then you’re able to find a way to get back and finish really strong.”

She managed to do that on a day that was not easy for some other

Outlook brighter for struggling Jaguars

hat do The West Side Story and the Capital High football team have in common?

Only Bill Moon could use both of them in the same sentence to make a point — that Capital’s days as a district and maybe a state contender are coming. The head coach in him wants it now, but the pragmatist in him cautions that it will come.

Hence, his allusion to the Broadway and movie hit.

“Who knows? Something’s coming; something big,” Moon paraphrased.

“Don’t know what it will be. That is the atmosphere here. As a coach, I

know it’s coming. I just don’t know when. It could be tomorrow. It could be this year. But it’s going to happen.”

It has been a three-year march for Moon and the Jaguars, who have won a grand total of three games on the field — there was a forfeit that took away last year’s 35-28 season-opening win over Socorro — in that span. The program has won but eight games since making the state playoffs in 2008, and three came in 2009.

Still, there are signs that Capital is on the precipice of success. The program has 63 players and will field a varsity, junior varsity and C-team — something it hasn’t done in more than a decade. The Jaguars have 20 juniors and 25 sophomores alone on the roster, with a fair amount of them starters on one side of the ball or the other.

Add to that 19 starters (all 11 on offense and eight on defense) who return from a team that went 1-9 in

2013, and it appears that Capital has all the pieces to make a run at the newly christen District 2AAAAA title.

The question that remains unanswered is, “When?”

That probably won’t be answered until October.

with what we got and work as hard as we can.”

The hard work has shown in the weight room and conditioning programs in the offseason. Moon has seen players improve their lifts from 35 to 80 pounds from last season. He also points out the amount of speed he has on the team, starting with quarterback Augie Larranaga, who

NFL upholds Browns star WR Gordon’s 1-year suspension

By Tom Withers The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Josh Gordon’s wait is over, and so is his 2014 season. Now the star wide receiver’s career is in peril.

The Browns learned Wednesday that Gordon’s indefinite suspension by the NFL has been upheld and he will miss at least 16 games for another violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. A repeat drug offender, Gordon had appealed the penalty, hoping it would be reduced so he could play this season.

The NFL, though, came down hard on Gordon, who must now pay the

price for stepping out of bounds.

The league announced that arbitrator Harold Henderson supported Gordon’s yearlong suspension for marijuana use. The Pro Josh Gordon Bowler, who was subject to more frequent testing, will begin serving his suspension immediately and the league said in its statement that his “eligibility for reinstatement will be determined following the 2014 season.”

In the meantime, Gordon is not allowed to practice with the team,

INSIDE u Broncos’ Ware will sit out first visit to Cowboys. PAGE B-4

attend meetings or other club functions.

Browns general manager Ray Farmer expressed some disappointment at the decision, but said the team has no choice but to move ahead without Gordon.

“While we may have strong feelings on the timing and the process of this decision, we have also consistently communicated that we will focus on what we can control in our day to day approach,” Farmer said in a statement.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Eric J. Hedlund, ehedlund@sfnewmexican.com

“Right now that is preparing our team for the 2014 season and at the same time, supporting Josh however we are able under NFL guidelines during his suspension.”

The Browns had feared for months this would be the outcome, and now that it’s official, the club will have to somehow make up for the leagueleading 1,646 yards, 18.9 yards per catch and nine touchdowns Gordon produced last season.

“I’d like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Cleveland Browns organization and our fans,” Gordon said in a statement. “I am very disappointed that the NFL and its hearing office didn’t exercise better discretion

and judgment in my case. I would like to sincerely thank the people who have been incredibly supportive of me during this challenging time, including my family, my agent, my union, my legal team, and the Cleveland Browns staff.”

While he’s out, Gordon, who served a two-game suspension for a drug violation last season, will need to pass drug tests, comply with treatment and apply for reinstatement with Commissioner Roger Goodell before he plays again. Gordon could possibly return inside a year if he stays clean.

Gordon met with league officials in

Chicago’s Little League champs return as heroes

By Don Babwin and Carla K. Johnson The Associated Press

CHICAGO — The ballpark gleams, exactly as the home of the Little League World Series national championship team should.

Free of graffiti and absent so much as a kid’s initials carved in the grandstand benches, Jackie Robinson Park is outfitted with a digital scoreboard and mechanical pitching machines. It sits in a tidy neighborhood of brick onestory homes and manicured lawns on Chicago’s South Side.

While the words “South Side” are often shorthand beyond Chicago for gangs, shootings and poverty, the people who live here see a more nuanced picture.

“These are middle-class families,”

said Jamieson Clay, a relative of Joshua Houston, the pitching and hitting hero of the U.S. championship game.

“Ninety percent of the boys have both a mother and a father at home with them and the fathers are playing a pretty active role in their sons’ lives.”

The beloved Jackie Robinson West All Stars, Chicago’s first all-black team to claim the national title, autographed T-shirts and posters at the ballpark Wednesday before boarding trolley buses for a parade in their honor.

They’re only beginning to realize the impact they’ve had on the city.

“I didn’t know it was going to be like this,” outfielder Darion Radcliff said as he posed for photos. “I feel like a celebrity.”

In the days to come, he and the other players will be held up as mod-

els for how to keep vulnerable kids out of trouble. Radio host Matt McGill said to the crowd at Wednesday’s preparade rally, “Look at those kids. You can be a star without a gun in your holster, without a gun in your waistband.”

And before thousands at Millennium Park downtown, Chicago White Sox Executive Vice President Ken Williams urged kids to “pick up a ball or a glove or a book, a paint stick, a science project [and] put down the guns.”

Adrian Newell, 59, said at the downtown rally, “You never hear anything positive about little black boys and these [13] boys did so well, behaved so well, you are just so proud of these kids.”

But some people close to the team chafe at the kids being portrayed as

another example of sports rescuing people from dire circumstances.

“This is not some fairy tale about ducking bullets,” said Bill Haley, director of Jackie Robinson West, which his father founded in 1971. “The story is we are the national champions.”

Williams suggested the team might change the perception of Chicago’s youth.

“I had someone pass me by the other day who said, ‘Those boys are so well behaved.’ I said, ‘Yeah, we teach that. The other stuff you see reported, the perception of what’s happening in Chicago? That ain’t us. These young men gave you a glimpse into who we really are.’ ” The team united Chicago, which remains one of the nation’s most segregated cities. Last weekend’s tele-

vised games were the most-watched telecasts in Chicago, with 623,900 viewers Saturday and 810,500 on Sunday — including at Wrigley Field where the Cubs watched during a rain delay and cheered like 12-year-olds themselves.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel organized all-city watch parties. Fans lined up Tuesday to buy 7,000 team T-shirts at a local sporting goods store and on Wednesday — just as they did in 2013 when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup — fans lined the streets to cheer.

The young players will even be able to live stereotypical post-sports championship dream: The Rev. Jesse Jackson announced Wednesday that his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition will be flying the boys to Disney World.

Thursday, August 28, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

B-3

PREP ROUNDUP

Waldorf shines in win over Menaul The New Mexican

Victory or ice cream — which tastes sweeter?

Does it matter when you’re the Santa Waldorf 3 Fe WalMenaul 0 dorf Lady Wolves?

Waldorf did just about everything right in its volleyball season opener at Albuquerque Menaul, winning in a convincing 25-7, 25-11, 25-9 fashion on Wednesday night.

That in itself deserved a treat, so Adams took the team to Cold Stone Creamery for the celebratory ice cream.

The Lady Wolves dominated play in every fashion and dem-

onstrated a quality some Class A teams lack — depth.

The second-stringers saw plenty of playing time against the Lady Panthers, thanks in part to the strength of Waldorf’s starting six.

“We started every game with our starting six,” said Josie Adams, Waldorf head coach, “but after we took the first five points, we substituted our second string. They are really strong, and I’m excited about that.”

Equally as exciting is the serving the Lady Wolves put on display.

Senior setter Keifer Nace had 11 aces among her 22 service points, while freshman outside

hitter Beatrice Lowe had five aces and senior middle hitter Cecelia Barnard added three.

Barnard added eight kills to her evening, while Lowe had six and Nace four.

“Our serving was phenomenal,” Adams said. “They could barely get at us. I suspect our kill totals will get much better.”

GIRLS SOCCER ST. MICHAEL’S 7, BELEN 0 The Lady Eagles played much like their football brethren — physically — and that had Lady Horsemen head coach Robyn Serge worried for a few minutes.

But when Stephanie Gallegos

and Nique Enloe scored in the 24th and 28th minute, a 3-0 St. Michael’s lead made the rough play easier to swallow.

“I was really nervous because every time we had the ball, they were smashing us left and right,” Serge said.

Nothing was quite as smashing as Enloe, as the sophomore recorded a hat trick after missing the season opener against Capital to serve her red-card suspension from the Class A-AAA State Tournament last November.

Chipping in with a pair of goals was Adriana Camarena, while Monse Camarena added a goal for the 2-0 Lady Horsemen, who play Santa Fe High on Friday.

Success: Capital has deeper bench this year Continued from Page B-1 took third in the Class AAAA 400 meters in the spring and ran at the Great Southwest Track and Field Classic.

“We’ve got seven guys who run between a [4.5 seconds in the 40 meter dash] and a 4.8,” Moon said. “Augie ran four-four and a fraction, then a [4.51] in three consecutive 40s. We got a kid who’s running four-sixes in [Daniel] Gavin. [Kevin] Brown is [at] four-eight-one, and fourseven-nine is kinda average for our speed guys.”

Gavin will play at a receiver spot, while Brown will continue to be the featured back in the Jaguars’ offense. While it’s great to have those weapons, the one area that needs to show significant improvement is along the offensive line. All five starters return, but they know they have to do a better job of opening holes for the running backs and protecting Larranaga so he can utilize the weapons he has in the offense.

Junior tackle Dennis Pineda feels the linemen are in a better position to matchup strengthwise against opposing defensive linemen and linebackers than they have the past two seasons. But there are finer points in their development that have to come together for the group to be an effective unit.

“Our line has to pay attention more,” Pineda said. “We have to know the snap count. We can’t be selfish.”

Moon felt Capital held its own against Albuquerque Rio Grande in last week’s scrimmage, and the good news was that he and the coaching staff walked away with items they saw the Jaguars need to work

CAPITAL JAGUARS Head coach: Bill Moon (third year) Last year: 1-9, 1-3 District 2AAAA Returning starters: 11 offense, 8 defense Key players: Augie Larranaga, 6-foot, 170 pounds, junior, QB/ DB; Kevin Brown, 5-11, 175, junior, RB/DB; Tommy Wright, 5-9, 165, sophomore, FB/LB; Daniel Banuelos, 5-10, 205, senior, G/DL; Dennis Pineda, 6-0, 220; junior, T/DL; Jesus Garza-Vargas, 5-8, 160, sophomore, RB/DB. 2014 schedule Friday — at Socorro, 7 p.m.

Capital High School running back Kevin Brown practices with his team Wednesday. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

on in advance of Friday’s season opener at Socorro.

“Each position coach came away with three or four things that we need to clean up,” Moon said. “This has to get tight and right. So I am pretty optimistic about that. We made some changes. If we made them at the right time and in a better way, then we’ll play all right on Friday night.”

What matters more, though, is how Capital looks by Week 4 and 5, when defending Class AAAA champion Las Vegas Robertson and Class AAAAA Lovington come to town. Moon believes those will be the indicators of where the program is and what needs to be done to get the Jaguars ready for District 2AAAAA play.

Still, he feels Capital is mak-

ing progress compared to when he walked into the high school library in June of 2012 and introduced himself to 17 players who were the ones to show up for those initial growing pains.

“Comparatively, over three years, the number of critical things that need to be addressed is getting smaller,” Moon said. “And the significance of those items is smaller.

Things are better, and maybe on the edge of good.”

Something’s coming for the Capital Jaguars. They just have to wait for it.

St. Mike’s: Despite loss, SFHS improved Continued from Page B-1 jumping to his right to absorb the powerful stroke, that preserved the shutout.

“I think little tweaks were able to make me feel more confident,” Burnham said. “My positioning, especially on free kicks. I needed to work on my technique, just going down, getting the ball and being able to grab it. I needed to keep my feet a little bit better under me.

And make sure to tell myself to calm down a little bit.”

That was easier said than done, especially when trying to maintain a slim margin.

It wasn’t for a lack of effort,

though. The Horsemen (1-1) were sluggish for most of the first half, outside of DeLeonDowd’s missile that Demons goalkeeper Pedro Mayorga couldn’t reach over his head, but their passing improved markedly after the break.

St. Michael’s put together three or four passes together to set up potential scoring opportunities, but often that next pass was just off the mark.

“I felt like were really close to getting another goal,” DeLeon-Dowd said. “We were connecting passes a lot better and that would bring upfield and get us more chances to score on goal.”

However, progress wasn’t just one-sided.

Santa Fe High (1-4) played with much better composure, and showed it could get to the goal for chances as well.

Demons freshman striker Edgar Cervantes had a shot from the left flank off a corner kick that Burnham deflected off the crossbar in the 25th minute.

Juarez had a 35-yard direct kick meet the same fate in the 34th minute.

In the second half, mdiefielder Erick Sanchez had his own 35-yard scorcher fly directly into Burnham’s arms in the 70th minute.

Santa Fe High head coach

Robert Quirk felt his team competed better than it did against the Blue Griffins.

“On Monday, there were a lot of heads down, which you can imagine when your opponent gets up by three goals,” Quirk said. “I was just having a conversation [on Tuesday] that reinforced what I talked about early in the season, that I judge success through hard work and developing. It’s not through winning. I told these guys winning is fun, but there are more important things to learn.”

In that case, both teams learned things are not as bad as they were on Monday.

Gordon: Long suspension considered likely Continued from Page B-1 New York on Aug. 4 to appeal his suspension. As the days past, there was growing speculation he might not be punished to the letter of the collective bargaining agreement.

But Henderson sided with the league’s initial ruling after an exhaustive process.

The Browns have known Gordon could be banished for some time and they’ve been eager for a resolution to his case, which hung over their training camp.

Gordon fought the suspension by hiring attorney Maurice Suh to represent him at the appeal hearing. Suh, who had success-

fully gotten a suspension reduced for Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, argued that Gordon tested positive for marijuana due to secondhand smoke. Gordon’s representatives also said test results of his samples were inconsistent and should be thrown out.

There was speculation the league might go softer on Gordon following the public outcry after Baltimore running back Ray Rice was suspended for two games on a domestic violence charge. Instead, the league put Gordon on the sideline for all 16 games and will wait to see how he behaves before deciding whether to let him back.

Gordon didn’t help his cause with two legal issues as his case dragged on. He was charged with drunken driving after his July 5 arrest in Raleigh, N.C. In May, he was stopped for speeding in Strongsville, Ohio, and one of the passengers in his car was cited for marijuana possession.

The talented 23-year-old led the league with 1,646 yards receiving last season despite being banned from the first two games for a failed drug test. It was his second known violation as a pro and Gordon said he had inadvertently taken codeine contained in a prescription cough syrup.

Isotopes lose final road game Wrapping up their road slate for the 2014 season, the Albuquerque Isotopes (59-79) were edged 2-1 by the Oklahoma City RedHawks (74-66) Wednesday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Oklahoma City jumped out to an early 1-0 lead with an RBI-single in the top of the first, but then Isotopes starting pitcher Jeff Bennett settled in and allowed just two more hits through six innings.

Albuquerque tied the game when Tim Federowicz brought home Jamie Romak in the top of the sixth on a sacrifice fly.

The RedHawks regained the lead with a one-out, RBI double in the bottom of the eighth, but Albuquerque’s Alex Guerrero hit a leadoff double in the top of the ninth and advanced to third on a groundout. He was stranded there, giving Oklahoma City the win.

Bennett tossed six innings of four-hit, one-run ball. It was his fifth start quality start in his last seven outings and 18th quality start overall. His 3.83 ERA is now tops on the team and ninth-best in the Pacific Coast League.

Joc Pederson was 1-for-4 in the game with a double. In his last six starts, Pederson is batting .417 (10-for-24) with eight runs scored, three doubles, three homers, eight RBI and six walks.

The Isotopes return home for their final home series of the season against the Las Vegas 51s beginning at 6:35 p.m.

Thursday. Right-hander Justin Germano (4-14, 5.01 ERA) is scheduled to start for Albuquerque, while Las Vegas, Nev., will go with righty Rafael Montero (6-3, 3.28 ERA).

PHOENIX — Clayton Kershaw allowed only an unearned run in eight innings to become the first 16-game winner in the majors, and the Los Dodgers 3 Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona DiamondD’backs 1 backs 3-1 on Wednesday night.

The left-handed ace struck out 10 and walked two.

Scott Van Slyke hit a solo home run off Wade Miley (7-10) before leaving the game with an ankle injury in the fourth inning.

Matt Kemp had a two-run double.

GIANTS 4, ROCKIES 2 In San Francisco, Buster Posey hit a game-ending two-run homer for his third clout in two nights, sending the Giants past Colorado for Bruce Bochy’s 1,600th managerial victory.

Posey sent an 0-1 pitch from Juan Nicasio (5-6) just inside the left-field foul pole for his 18th homer of the year and second career walkoff homer. He also had one on May 3, 2013, against the Dodgers.

Santiago Casilla (2-3), who was ill Tuesday, plunked leadoff hitter Drew Stubbs in the back to start the ninth. Justin Morneau then doubled him home to tie the game at 2. Casilla got a key double play to get out of the inning.

PADRES 3, BREWERS 2 (10 INNINGS) In San Diego, Rene Rivera tied the game with a home run in the ninth inning, then won it with an RBI single in the 10th inning as the Padres beat Milwaukee.

Rivera opened the ninth inning with his ninth homer, a shot off Francisco Rodriguez, to tie the score 2-2.

YANKEES 8, TIGERS 4 In Detroit, New York chased David Price with nine straight hits in the third inning, beating the Tigers.

The Yankees scored all eight of their runs in the third off Price (12-10), who had pitched a one-hitter in his previous start.

Jacoby Ellsbury started the barrage, and New York went all the way through the batting order until the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner was pulled after the ninth hit of the inning.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ATHLETICS 5, ASTROS 4 In Houston, Sam Fuld hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the ninth inning to give Oakland a win over the Astros.

The A’s trailed by one entering the ninth before Eric Sogard’s RBI single, and Fuld’s two-out shot off Chad Qualls (1-4) landed in the seats in right field to put Oakland up 5-3.

Fuld, who entered on a 0-for-9 skid, finished three hits, including a double.

WHITE SOX 3, INDIANS 2 In Chicago, Jose Abreu hit a pair of run-scoring singles against Cleveland ace Corey Kluber, and the White Sox beat the Indians to stop a season-high, seven-game losing streak.

BLUE JAYS 5, RED SOX 2 In Toronto, pinch-hitter Danny Valencia had a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh inning, leading the Blue Jays over Boston.

RANGERS 12, MARINERS 4 In Seattle, Rougned Odor hit a thirdinning grand slam to back Colby Lewis, and last-place Texas beat the Mariners to take two of three from Seattle.

Erasmo Ramirez (1-6), recalled from Triple-A Tacoma for the start, allowed 10 runs and nine hits in three-plus innings. Seattle, which began the day a half-game ahead of Detroit for the second AL wild-card spot, had been the only major league team not to allow 10 or more runs in a game this season.

INTERLEAGUE ANGELS 6, MARLINS 1 In Anaheim, Calif., Mike Trout tied a career high with his 30th home run, Gordon Beckham homered for the first time with his new club, and the Angels beat Miami.

Hector Santiago ended a string of six consecutive no-decisions in a starting role, helping the Angels maintain their one-game lead in the AL West over Oakland and improve the major leagues’ best record to 79-53.

By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — DeMarcus Ware won’t play in his first visit to Dallas almost six months after the Cowboys released their franchise sack leader and he signed with Denver.

Henry Melton, one of several defensive linemen trying to fill Ware’s void, should make his Dallas debut in the preseason finale against the Broncos on Thursday night.

The 32-year-old Ware says it will be different “on the other side of the bar.”

That’s a good way to describe what amounts to a social visit with most starters for both teams, including Peyton Manning and Tony Romo, sitting out while fringe players battle for roster spots two days before final cuts.

“I’ll be looking forward to seeing some of my old teammates and just being in that stadium and still feeling like it’s home,” said Ware, who spent his first nine seasons with the Cowboys. “We are always going to have that relationship. It’s not just a business thing. It’s a friendship also.”

Like with Dallas tight end Jason Witten, who interrupted Ware’s conference call with reporters for the only chance at trash talk between stars who combined for 16 Pro Bowl appearances with the Cowboys.

“You’re lucky we’re not playing tomorrow night,” said a smiling Witten, who was a third-round draft pick in 2003, two years before Ware went in the first round. “I’d love to see you in coverage.”

Anthony Spencer, who’s still trying to come back from microfracture knee surgery for Dallas, misses his old pass-rushing partner.

“Just his personality and the type of person he is and just talking football with him,” said Spencer, who was just a few lockers down from Ware at the Cowboys’ training facility.

Melton is a defensive tackle, not an edge rusher such as Ware. But he was the most important offseason addition after the Cowboys decided to let Ware go and save money under the salary cap.

Under normal circumstances, Melton would be sitting with the rest of the starters, but he DeMarcus missed the Ware first three preseason games with a groin injury.

Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Melton wanted to get some snaps in the closest thing to real action before the Sept. 7 opener against San Francisco.

Melton hasn’t played since tearing a knee ligament in Week 3 against Pittsburgh last season.

“The knee’s fine,” Jones said. “The groin’s fully healed now. He’s ready to go and I think he just wants to have the peace of mind he’s going to feel good when he starts against the 49ers.”

Cornerback Morris Claiborne, who hasn’t played all preseason, is likely to sit out again with a shoulder injury as the Cowboys prepare to play without cornerback Orlando Scandrick, who will miss the first four games on a drug suspension.

Scandrick is another defensive starter who will play because the Cowboys want to get him as much playing time as possible before the suspension.

Dallas claimed cornerback Jemea Thomas, a sixth-round pick this year, off waivers from New England. And the Cowboys will get another look at Tyler Patmon a week after the undrafted rookie had two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, and a forced fumble at Miami.

“There’s some jobs up for grabs,” Jones said. “There’s a handful of guys here who are battling and let’s see how they answer the bell on Thursday and here we go.”

NOTES u WR Tim Benford was waived to make room for Thomas. u Former Dallas RB Phillip Tanner was set to sign with the Cowboys to give them more depth in the preseason finale.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

USC’s Shaw admits to lying about injuries CB initially claimed he leapt from balcony to save 7-year-old nephew from a pool

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Southern California cornerback Josh Shaw confessed that he lied to school officials about how he sprained his ankles last weekend, retracting his story about jumping off a balcony to save his drowning nephew.

The school swiftly suspended him Wednesday from all team activities and acknowledged his heroic tale was “a complete fabrication.”

The tale began to unravel soon after the team captain was lauded for his heroics in a story on the team’s website Monday. In the account, Shaw described how he instinctively jumped from a balcony, with no one around, to rescue his 7-year-old nephew in a pool in his hometown of Palmdale, Calif. The school said a day later callers questioned the story, and began vetting it.

But the biggest question remains unanswered: What was he doing, and how did he injure his ankles?

“We are extremely disappointed in Josh,” USC coach Steve Sarkisian said. “He let us all down. As I have said, nothing in his background led us to doubt him when he told us of his injuries, nor did anything after our initial vetting of his story.”

The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that a man named Joshua Shaw was mentioned — but not as

Josh Shaw

a suspect — in a report involving a break-in at a downtown apartment building Saturday night.

The department has not made the

report public.

Shaw is a fifth-year senior, a captain and a key starter in USC’s defensive secondary. He is widely considered a solid teammate and an important leader for the 15th-ranked Trojans, who begin their first season under Sarkisian at the Coliseum on Saturday against Fresno State.

Shaw issued a short statement through criminal defense attorney Donald Etra on Wednesday after being suspended.

“On Saturday, Aug. 23, 2014, I injured myself in a fall,” Shaw said. “I made up a story about this fall that was untrue. I was wrong not to tell the truth.

I apologize to USC for this action on my part. My USC coaches, the USC athletic department and especially Coach Sarkisian have all been supportive of me during my college career and for that, I am very grateful.”

Etra didn’t respond to a request for further details about the cause of Shaw’s injuries.

Shaw didn’t attend practice Wednesday, missing his sec-

ond straight day of workouts.

Although he is barred from team activities, his injuries also would keep him out of workouts for at least a few weeks.

Shortly after Shaw’s yarn was made public, the football program received phone calls contradicting Shaw’s version of his injuries. Sarkisian has not said who made the calls, but the school acknowledged the discrepancies Tuesday morning and began investigating Shaw, who initially stuck to his story.

“I appreciate that Josh has now admitted that he lied and has apologized,” Sarkisian said.

“Although this type of behavior is out of character for Josh, it is unacceptable. Honesty and integrity must be at the center of our program. I believe Josh will learn from this. I hope that he will not be defined by this incident, and that the Trojan Family will accept his apology and support him.”

It’s unclear whether Shaw could face additional discipline from USC for lying to school officials. A USC spokesperson didn’t immediately return a request for clarification about the school’s student conduct policies.

Shaw and the school still haven’t acknowledged any connection to the LAPD report from officers who responded to a woman screaming in a downtown apartment complex Saturday. USC is on the south end of downtown.

Officers interviewed several people at the building, and a woman told the police that someone had pried open a window, entered the third-

floor apartment and fled, but nothing was taken. The woman also acknowledged “a relationship” with Shaw, according to LAPD Lt. Andy Nieman.

Sarkisian insisted the situation won’t be a distraction for the Trojans, but still allowed only two of Shaw’s defensive teammates to speak with the media after practice Wednesday morning.

Linebacker Hayes Pullard and defensive lineman Leonard Williams both acknowledged surprise at the situation that developed after Shaw’s account was challenged, but remained supportive of their fifth-year senior captain.

“We were pretty shocked,” said Williams, who hasn’t spoken to Shaw. “Josh Shaw is a pretty loyal guy. I would never expect him to make up a story.

I would never expect that out of him as a team leader.”

Shaw’s leadership and character were widely praised throughout his first two seasons of play at the school. He transferred back to his native Los Angeles area from Florida, in part to help out his ailing grandfather with the family landscaping business.

“Josh has been a great guy,” Pullard said. “He has great character. I’ve never known him to lie about anything … so it’s surprising. This is exactly when our leadership roles come in. We talk to guys and let them know what’s expected, and we’ll keep us focused on our team.”

Tennis: Wawrinka heads to 3rd round Continued from Page B-1 seeded women in the second round, although No. 19 Venus Williams, the 2000-01 champion in New York, advanced with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over 78th-ranked Timea Bacsinszky at night. That match was followed by Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka’s 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (1) victory over 91st-ranked Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil.

As the match stretched past midnight, the third-seeded Wawrinka got into a tiff with a spectator, saying: “Shut up, man! Seriously, shut up.”

He’s into the third round in New York for the fourth time in five years. He was a semifinalist a year ago.

Williams got to the third round at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2010.

“As the tournament goes on it will get tougher,” Williams said.

No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, a finalist at Wimbledon two years ago, became the first man or woman seeded in the top 10 to lose, defeated 6-3, 6-4 by 39th-ranked Peng Shuai of China.

And No. 21 Sloane Stephens of the United States had her earliest exit at the U.S. Open, eliminated 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 by 96th-ranked Johanna Larsson of Sweden.

Stephens was largely her own undoing, compiling a whopping 63 unforced errors.

She was in such a hurry to get out of there that she briskly walked around the net to Larsson’s side of the court for a handshake.

Stephens has failed to get past the second round at 11 tournaments in 2014, including the past two Grand Slam events. That follows a streak in which the 21-yearold American made it to the fourth round or better at six consecutive majors.

“I haven’t had that great of a season,” Stephens said.

“But … I’m not going to dwell on it.”

The U.S. Open is the only Grand Slam tournament at which Radwanska never has made it to the quarterfinals.

That includes another second-round loss to Peng, four years ago.

“I really want to know the answer,” Radwanska said.

“Then maybe I will find a way to play better here and just try another way to be in the second week.”

After three days of action, the men’s tournament has yet to have a significant surprise, and the only seeded players to lose Wednesday were No. 27 Santiago Giraldo of Colombia and No. 30 Jeremy Chardy of France.

The man who beat Chardy, 92nd-ranked Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia, now faces Wawrinka.

W

hen the ol’ midlife crisis sets in, some men fight Father Time by purchasing expensive sports cars or taking the family on luxury cruises.

Jimmy Day took his purchasing power in another direction. He bought a bike and began riding around his neighborhood.

“I was your basic couch potato,” he says. “I was an athlete in college but never really maintained myself as I got older. I got into my career, got into my 30s and 40s and wasn’t really physically active. Then one day, I just kind of looked at things, realized I was this 5-foot-9, 204-pound guy who needed to do something about it.”

And so he did.

It began with a basic bike and a few trips through the familiar streets of what was then his home in San Antonio, Texas. Before long, the riding became a hobby, then a passion.

When he turned 52, a friend invited him to compete in a mountain bike race in the beginners’ division. The conditions weren’t good, and while his fitness level was decent, the results were mixed. The bottom line, however, was what he learned about himself.

“I was hooked,” Day says. “One thing led to another and it kind of took off from there.”

Today, Day makes his home in Santa Fe — and he spends most of his spare time behind the handlebars as he competes in national and international events at the master’s level. At 60 years old, he’s down to 153 pounds and is one of the top racers in his age category in several disciplines.

This week, he’s at a Union Cycliste Internationale event in Slovenia, a week after a similar event in Norway and not long after a time trial in South Africa. Next week, he’ll be at a USA Cycling national championship race in Utah.

In between?

“I might get 12 hours at my house

there in Santa Fe,” he says. “Just long enough to do a quick load of laundry and pack a few things.”

Day competes in several disciplines between road bikes and mountain bikes. He’s currently on a tour that will take him to 10 national and world championship races that culminates with his stop in Utah in early September. He is the only American cyclist competing in Thursday’s championship race in Slovenia.

He’s chronicling his journey on his blog, www.ridejimmyride.com. In it, he takes you through a step-by-step journey of his training process, including the highlights of his tour stops across the globe.

There are also a few before and after photos, showing how Day shed one-fourth of his body weight at an age when most men pack on the pounds without even trying.

When he considers how far he has come over the past 14 years since that initial bike ride, Day says it really hits home when he takes a gander at his competitors at the starting line.

“Everybody I compete against in these things are people who have been racing and training for 30 or 40 years, some of them are names I’d heard in the Tour de France 30 years ago,” he says. “And here I am racing against them. It’s amazing to think about.”

The grind of the entire tour does wear on Day’s body. Devoted to a clean lifestyle that relies on long, challenging rides, he says the reputation cycling has cultivated over the years — of doping and riders abusing performance enhancing drugs — isn’t far off the mark. He estimates that one-fourth of the riders he encounters are using.

“I suppose, speaking for myself, that I could have a healthier diet because I’ve never really made an attempt

to watch what I eat,” he says. “But I wouldn’t use anything to get by. My legs feel the strain of it, but it’s something I’ve gotten used to.”

Another notion he’s quick to dispel is the glamorous lifestyle some might associate with a globe-trotting competitive racer. When he’s on the course, he doesn’t have a team tracking his every move in an air-conditioned minivan stocked with supplies, snacks and medical services.

“My team is my wife [Jennifer] sitting in the front seat of a rental car trying to read a map in Czechoslovakian as we ride around looking for something that looks like a bike repair shop,” Day says, referring to his wife of 36 years.

The couple is traveling with their 11-year-old son, Carson.

Last week’s stop in Norway came with a logistical challenge in which Day’s bikes were sent to Heathrow Airport in London while he and his family traveled to Slovakia. That snafu took four days to clear up, costing Day valuable practice time on the course while his competitors got to memorize every curve and bump of the layout.

“We had one race in the forest,” he recalls. “There were roots all over, then it rained nonstop the day of the

race. There were two inches of mud we had to race through.”

That experience, he says, was one for the memory books.

“I learned just how big of a chicken I really am,” he says with a laugh. “The guy who won it flew through that course like he was on a Sunday ride through the Plaza.”

Day says he benefits from Santa Fe’s natural surroundings. Living in a home near St. John’s College, he has easy access to the expansive Dale Ball Trails system, plus Santa Fe’s long stretches of paved roads that are ideal for road bikes.

It’s his proverbial backyard that makes him realize there’s more to life after he finishes going against the world’s best. When he finally settles back in at the foot of the Sangre de Cristos, he plans to take full advantage of what he has right outside.

“After this set of races is over, I think I’m going to head home and just take advantage of what I have in my own state,” Day says. “New Mexico is such a cool bike racing scene. People from all over are taking notice and there’s no doubt that I’ve benefited from having a perfect training area that’s 7,500 feet and perfect weather most of the time.”

My team is my wife [Jennifer] sitting in the front seat of a rental car trying to read a “ map in Czechoslovakian as we ride around looking for something that looks like a bike repair shop.” Jimmy Day, cyclist

The Gila National Forest is putting on a public event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act at the Gila Visitor Center on Sunday.

The Wilderness Ranger District has activities and demonstrations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., as well as interactive displays and information booths. Forest Service personnel will be available to answer questions about wilderness.

The Wilderness Act was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on Sept. 3, 1964, which established the National Wilderness Preservation System. It also set aside an initial 9.1 million acres of wildlands for the use and benefit of the public.

The Gila National Forest has three designated wilderness areas: The Gila Wilderness, which has the unique distinction of being the first designated wilderness in the country; and the Aldo Leopold Wilderness, which straddles the crest of the Black Range Mountains and the Blue Range Wilderness.

For more information, call the Wilderness Ranger District at 575-536-2250.

The lightning-caused Pino Fire, on Santa Fe National Forest’s Jemez Ranger District, is estimated at 120 acres as of Wednesday morning, according to a news release.

The fire is located 5 miles south of N.M. 4 and 6 miles east of Jemez Springs.

Heavy rain that was expected Tuesday produced a little more than one-tenth of an inch of rain, which kept fire activity to a minimum. Fire crews continued to hold in place and monitor progression.

Robust drying is forecast to start Friday and continue through next week, which will lead to lower humidity and increase chances for the fire to grow.

The ranger district indicated no road closures at this time, and the fire is not expected to impact local businesses or recreation facilities over the Labor Day weekend.

Lobos River Run to be held Sept. 28 The third annual Gonzales Community School Lobos River Run is scheduled for Sept. 28 at the school’s campus on West Alameda Street.

The event includes 5-kilometer run and a 1-mile community fun run/walk along the Santa Fe River trail. The races start and finish at Gonzales, and they are open to all kids and families.

Proceeds from the River Run benefit related PTA-sponsored enrichment activities, such as the National Dance Institute and Cooking with Kids programs designed for the K-8 student body.

I don’t believe this. What’s your opinion, and do you think they just quit testing the manual cars, and slap on the same rating? I’m looking to buy a new car, maybe manual. -- Barbara TOM: It’s true, Barbara.

RAY: But, in general, we do believe that modern automatic transmissions do as well as or better than manual transmissions, as far as mileage.

TOM: There are two reasons for that. One is the number of gears. It’s not uncommon now for automatic transmissions to have between six and nine forward speeds. And with the international “gears race” in full swing, I’m sure 10- and 11-speed automatics are just over the horizon.

RAY: There also are continuously variable automatic transmissions (CVTs). They use pulleys to constantly adjust the gear ratio, giving them, theoretically, an infinite number of gears.

TOM: The more gear ratios you have available, the easier it is to find the most e∞cient

one at any given moment.

And that improves the car’s overall mileage.

RAY: The second factor is the lock-up torque converter.

The reason manual transmissions used to get better mileage is because there’s no “slop” in them.

You put the car in the gear, take your foot o≠ the clutch, and the car is “locked” in that gear until you remove it.

TOM: That’s why a car with a manual transmission will stall if you come to a stop without taking it out of gear.

RAY: Automatics use a viscous, fluid coupling, which allows the transmission to “slip” when you’re stopped at a light, to prevent the engine from stalling.

TOM: But that same fluid coupling that allows the transmission to slip at low speeds was harming mileage at higher speeds.
