Opiate treatment proposal moves forward Finance Committee recommends City Council OK diversion program

By Julie Ann Grimm

The New Mexican

People who are arrested for opiate possession in Santa Fe would be immediately sent to treatment programs instead of jail under a three-year pilot program recommended to the City Council by its Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) Task Force.

The task force says the best way to close a revolving door of drug arrests and related property crime is a “pre-booking diversion program.” A resolution calling for establishment of the program is making its way through the city review process and earned a recommendation for approval Monday night from the city Finance Committee.

The task force includes the

Insects of all sorts celebrated at Bug Museum inside Harrell House of Natural Oddities

Legislative auditors criticized the state on Monday for spending nearly $600,000 to renovate an abandoned schoolhouse in Northern New Mexico and later selling the still unfinished building for $39,000 to the nonprofit group that originally donated it.

The project began when Democrat Bill Richardson was governor, but Republican Gov. Susan Martinez’s administration last year approved the sale of the old school in the community of Ribera in San Miguel County.

A report by Legislative Finance Committee auditors said the Department of Cultural Affairs poorly managed the capital improvements to the school that dates to the 1800s and was last used for a preschool program in the 1970s.

The department manages the state’s museum and historic sites.

hat do Buddy Rich and an insect museum in Santa Fe’s DeVargas Center have in common? Just ask Oliver “Ollie” Greer. The 46-year-old former chef sees a clear connection between his seemingly disparate passions for 1940s jazz and collecting bugs.

Like the legendary drum virtuoso, Greer,

himself a drummer, says he “gives 110 percent” when it comes to his insect collection. There are more than 2,400 preserved and mounted specimens in the Bug Museum at the Harrell House of Natural Oddities, specimens that Greer has been collecting since he was only 10 years old. He still has his first find, a pepsis wasp, which he plans to display in its own case, the way some businesses display their first dollar bill.

“This collection has become so much more

than a childhood hobby for me,” Greer says. “It’s a become grown-up passion and a business now, too. I still haven’t fully grasped it.”

Greer’s collection isn’t a purely scientific endeavor. Again reflecting his love of jazz, Greer says he doesn’t map out his display cases, some of which contain hundreds of individual bugs, before he starts mounting specimens.

Instead, he creates his displays in a creative

by the time four squad cars arrived, most of the crowd had left, and deputies ultimately didn’t issue any citations or arrest anyone.

The show’s promoter, Pascual Romero, said the touring show, also headlined by Six Feet Under and featuring such acts as Cannabis Corpse, had already visited other cities such as Oklahoma City and Austin, Texas, and is slated to perform in San Francisco, Seattle and Denver.

NATION&WORLD U.S. retail sales weaken The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy appears to be weaker than many economists had thought after a report Monday showed consumers spent cautiously in June at retail businesses.

Americans bought more cars and trucks, furniture and clothes. But they cut back almost everywhere else.

They spent less at restaurants and bars, reduced purchases at home improvement stores, and bought fewer computers and electronics.

Overall retail spending rose 0.4 percent in June from May, the Commerce Department said. But excluding volatile spending on autos, gasoline and building supplies, socalled core retail sales rose just 0.15 percent. That’s the weakest gain since January.

Economists said the deceleration in retail sales could slow economic growth in the April-June quarter to an annual rate below 1 percent.

Still, many economists aren’t changing their forecast for the second half of the year. Most expect growth will rebound to around a 2.5 percent rate.

“Job growth and income growth suggest a healthier state for the household sector in the second half of the year,” said Paul Dales, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

Consumers are still increasing their spending. But their pace has dropped off sharply from the start of the year.

WASHINGTON — A showdown looming, Republicans and Democrats groped for a compromise behind closed doors Monday over confirming stalled White House appointees in a dispute that threatened what little bipartisan cooperation remains in the Senate.

Nearly all 100 senators attended the rare closed-door meeting in the Capitol’s Old Senate Chamber, just down the hall from where they normally debate the issues of the day with the public and news media in attendance.

After two hours, Sen. Pat Roberts emerged and said the talks were continuing and had been productive.

Boy’s life ‘miracle’ after dune rescue CHICAGO — One minute, 6-year-old Nathan Woessner was scampering up a massive dune in northern Indiana with his dad and a friend. He was gone the next, without a warning or sound.

More than three hours later, rescuers pulled Nathan out from under 11 feet of sand Friday. He showed no signs of life. His limp body was put into the back of a pickup truck, which started toward a waiting ambulance.

The plan was to take him to the hospital rather than the coroner’s office, even if he were dead, in order to “give the family and rescue workers hope,” La Porte (Ind.) County Chief Deputy Coroner Mark Huffman said Monday.

As the truck bounced over the dune, a medic noticed something astonishing: The boy took a breath.

He was rushed to the hospital. “It’s an absolute miracle this child survived,” Huffman said.

Zetas drug cartel leader captured MEXICO CITY — Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, the notoriously brutal leader of the feared Zetas drug cartel, has been captured in the first major blow against an organized crime leader by a Mexican administration struggling to drive down persistently high levels of violence, a U.S. federal official confirmed.

Trevino Morales, known as “Z-40,” was captured by Mexican Marines in Nuevo Laredo, the Mexican media reported. The U.S. official who confirmed the media reports was not authorized to speak to the press and asked not to be identified.

The capture of Trevino Morales is a public-relations victory for President Enrique Peña Nieto, who came into office promising to drive down levels of homicide, extortion and kidnapping but has struggled to make a credible dent in crime figures.

CORPSE FLOWER TO COME ALIVE

The world’s largest flower — a titan arum — stands poised to bloom at the U.S. Botanic Garden. Its pleated crimson cape will peel back to reveal a stalk with a secret weapon for drawing pollinators — its scent. The stink is expected to entice thousands of people to visit in the garden’s ornate conservatory at the foot of the U.S. Capitol.

Called the corpse flower, the arum in bloom smells like decomposing flesh. For those who can’t be in D.C. for the event, visit the Botanic Garden’s website at www.usbg.gov to check the arum’s status through live-streaming video and time-lapse photos.

Woman gets prison for genocide lie CONCORD, N.H. — A federal judge on Monday sentenced a New Hampshire woman to the maximum 10 years in prison for lying about her role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, saying the United States cannot be a haven for those who slaughter out of hatred and ignorance.

Rwanda native Beatrice Munyenyezi declined her right to address the court after U.S. District Judge Steven McAuliffe imposed her sentence.

Munyenyezi, 43, was convicted in February of entering the United States and securing citizenship by lying about her role as a commander of one of the notorious roadblocks where Tutsis were singled out for slaughter.

Cause of Monteith’s death still unclear The cause of Glee actor Cory Monteith’s death remained unclear Monday, and authorities in Canada said it could take several days before toxicology test results are in.

Vancouver police Sgt. Randy Fincham said there’s nothing to indicate the death was due to illicit drug use.

Monteith, 31, was found dead in his Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room on Saturday, according to police, who have ruled out foul play.

Police said Monteith had been out with people earlier, but video and electronic records from the hotel indicated he returned to his room by himself. He was believed

to be alone when he died.

Monteith’s passing recalls the lives of Heath Ledger, Corey Haim and River Phoenix — actors who battled substance abuse and died in their 20s and 30s. Monteith talked bluntly about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, calling it a serious problem and telling Parade magazine in 2011 he was “lucky to be alive.”

Twinkies return, but in a smaller size NEW YORK — Twinkies are back, but they may be a bit smaller than you remember.

The new boxes hitting shelves this week list the spongy yellow cakes as having 270 calories and a weight of 77 grams for two cakes, or 135 calories and 38.5 grams for one cake.

Right before it went out of business, the predecessor company had said that Twinkies were 150 calories per cake. Photos of past boxes online also indicate the weight to have been 42.5 grams per cake.

A spokeswoman for Hostess, Hannah Arnold, said in an email Monday that the size change was made in “mid-2012” by the predecessor company. That would mean it happened in the months leading up to its bankruptcy, as the company was trying to keep its head above water financially.

Arnold has also said that the longer shelf life of Twinkies was made by the predecessor company right before it went bankrupt. The 45-day shelf life, up from 26 days, was a separate change and hit shelves Nov. 1, she said.

BOSTON — New research boosts the “use it or lose it” theory about brainpower and staying mentally sharp. People who delay retirement have less risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia, a study of nearly half a million people in France found.

It’s by far the largest study to look at this, and researchers say the conclusion makes sense. Working tends to keep people physically active, socially connected and mentally challenged — all things known to help prevent mental decline.

“For each additional year of work, the risk of getting dementia is reduced by 3.2 percent,” said Carole Dufouil, a scientist at INSERM, the French government’s health research agency.

She led the study and gave results Monday at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Boston.

About 35 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimer’s is the most common type.

In the U.S., about 5 million have Alzheimer’s — 1 in 9 people aged 65 and over. What causes the mindrobbing disease isn’t known and there is no cure or any treatments that slow its progression.

France has had some of the best Alzheimer’s research in the world, partly because its former president, Nicolas Sarkozy, made it a priority.

The country also has detailed health records on self-employed people who pay into a Medicare-like health system.

Researchers used these records on more than 429,000 workers. They were 74 on average and had been retired for an average of 12 years.

Nearly 3 percent had developed dementia but the risk of this was lower for each year of age at retirement. Someone who retired at 65 had about a 15 percent lower risk of developing dementia compared to someone retiring at 60, after other factors that affect those odds were taken into account, Dufouil said.

To rule out the possibility that mental decline may have led people to retire earlier, researchers did analyses that eliminated people who developed dementia within 5 years of retirement, and within 10 years of it.

“The trend is exactly the same,” suggesting that work was having an effect on cognition, not the other way around, Dufouil said.

France mandates retirement in various jobs — civil servants must retire by 65, she said. The new study suggests “people should work as long as they want” because it may have health benefits, she said.

In March, Obama inserted himself into the controversy surrounding Martin’s death by making a personal appeal to the teenager’s parents and parents everywhere. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” the president said from the Rose Garden.

“When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.”

On Sunday, after Zimmerman’s acquittal, Obama issued a similar appeal. He said Martin’s death was “a tragedy” for the family and for the country. But, he added, “we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken.”

He urged calm and summoned Americans to “widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities.”

At the White House on Monday, press secretary Jay Carney said Obama “has no opinion to express” about the Justice Department investigation or whether federal charges should be brought against Zimmerman.

The Salafists joined the secularist Tamarod movement’s calls for Morsi to step down, and both parties have accused the United States of backing the Muslim Brotherhood against its opponents during Morsi’s yearlong tenure.

New Mexico Medicaid overhaul wins approval

By Barry Massey

The Associated Press

Medicaid recipients will face copays for some treatments and have their medical services tracked as part of a program overhaul that is intended to lower the costs of providing health care, Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration announced Monday.

There will be no changes in determining who qualifies for Medicaid, which serves about a quarter of New Mexico’s population.

The state Human Services Department said President Barack Obama’s administration had given approval to the state to implement the changes, which will start next year and are intended to try to slow the rising costs of the health care program for the poor while improving service.

One of the main goals of the

revamped program known as “Centennial Care” is to better coordinate the care provided to recipients to improve their health or keep medical conditions from worsening and becoming more costly to treat.

Managed-care organizations under contract with the state for Medicaid will hire “care coordinators” to track medical and behavioral health services.

“It’s going to change the way we do business and it’s just going to increase health outcomes,” Human Services Secretary Sidonie Squire said in an interview.

Reimbursement rates to health care providers will remain the same, as will eligibility.

But much like in private insurance plans, Medicaid recipients will face copays for some services. That will include going to an emergency room

for routine medical care or using a brand name drug when a generic one is available.

By requiring people to take responsibility for some costs of their health care decisions, the state hopes to better control part of the growth of Medicaid, which is financed jointly by the state and federal governments.

The fee will be $3 for brand name drugs, but that will not apply to children and pregnant women. The fees for using an emergency room will vary according to a person’s income, but could range from $3 to $50 per visit.

Native Americans will be exempt from the copays.

The state also will offer incentives to encourage good health practices. Recipients can earn points toward gifts if they take certain steps for better health, such as seeing a dentist at least once a year,

completing a prenatal care program or having certain diabetes testing.

Medicaid is expected to cost New Mexico taxpayers nearly $1 billion this year and account for 16 percent of the state budget. The federal government provides almost $3 for every $1 spent by the state.

New Mexico will implement the changes at the same time it expands the program to cover an additional 170,000 low-income adults under terms of the federal Affordable Care Act. The program currently offers services to about 550,000 New Mexicans, mostly uninsured children in lowerincome families, the disabled, elderly in nursing homes and low-income pregnant women.

Native Americans who qualify for Medicaid will have the option of receiving care through managed-care

organizations or continuing with a feefor-service system. American Indians needing nursing home care will obtain their services through managed care, however.

The state initially had proposed requiring managed care for all eligible Native Americans, but tribal leaders worried that could make it more difficult for Indians in remote areas to get access to medical providers who might not be part of a managed care network.

Squier said Native Americans who enroll in managed care will be able to use their current primary care providers through the federal Indian Health Service or other tribal health systems.

The state negotiated with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for about a year before winning final approval of its proposed overhaul.

Concert: Rain checks for future shows handed out Continued from Page A-1 crowd was mellow but that some people did become upset when managers of the venue canceled the show. As for underage drinking, he said he had no way of knowing if that had been taking place among people in the crowd at Sol, which has an outdoor stage for warmweather performances.

Six Feet Under, from Tampa, Fla., was promoting its latest album, Unborn, which features song titles such as “Zombie Blood Curse” and “Alive to Kill You.” Tickets were sold for $20 in advance, and $25 at the door. The event started at 3 p.m., and Romero said many people were still arriving at the venue when the show was canceled. He didn’t have a total number of tickets sold, but said concertgoers received rain checks for

future Kronos Creative shows to make up for the cancellation.

Kronos previously had brought three heavy metal shows to Santa Fe Sol Stage & Grill without issue, but Romero said that after Sunday’s incident he’s unlikely to work again with the venue, which accommodates about 500 people.

“I am not comfortable moving forward with them,” he said. “We’re not the right fit for each other.”

Santa Fe Sol management declined to speak with a reporter on Monday.

Since the last management change there in August 2012, the location has hosted other national musical acts such as Portugal. The Man on July 2 and The Mountain Goats in December 2012, though both of those groups are folk bands.

School: Cultural Affairs secretary defends sale Continued from Page A-1 selecting a contractor in 2009 to do the school improvements, although the company’s owner several months earlier had been convicted of embezzlement in an unrelated case. The company, Omni Development Inc., wasn’t barred from state procurement contracts until June 2012, however. Martinez took office in 2011.

The state Board of Finance last October approved the sale of the school to the nonprofit group Los Pueblos Community Council, which originally promoted the renovation project and plans to use the building as a community center. The group donated the school to the state in 2009 — two years after obtaining $600,000 from the state to renovate and preserve the building.

Federal grants also were provided for the project.

Auditors said there were questions whether the sale of the building violated the New Mexico Constitution’s anti-donation clause, which bars the state from making donations to private individuals or entities. Auditors have sent a letter to the attorney general’s office outlining their concerns.

Cultural Affairs Secretary Veronica Gonzales defended the sale of the building, saying it was the best course of action.

“The project was placed under DCA without proper planning and without proper funding,” she told the Legislature’s Revenue Stabilization and Tax Policy Committee that reviewed the audit.

“The cost to the state would have been significantly higher if we had con-

tinued improving the structure and had attempted to cover operating costs for programs without a statewide mission,” she said.

The property was appraised at $39,000. She said the building — at the time of the sale — lacked a floor, roof, windows and doors, and some walls weren’t complete. Gonzales said it would have cost an additional $1 million to complete the renovations.

State money went to stabilize walls, remove a roof with asbestos and other work. But auditors said the state’s procurement code was violated because there was no competitive bidding before Omni was selected for the job.

Auditors also said there wasn’t documentation for change orders for work, and the state shouldn’t have paid $9,000 to remove an underground tank used to store heating oil.

Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat, said the state lacked good oversight of capital improvements.

“We’re having somebody make off with a ton of taxpayer dollars,” said Smith, who also complained about the Richardson administration’s purchase of a historic property near Española for a possible film institute that hasn’t happened.

The report said there’s inadequate funding for maintaining museums and historic sites. The department receives an earmarked piece of tax revenue, averaging $307,000 a year. The Legislature also provides extra money for capital improvements for the agency but auditors said it doesn’t do a good job of setting priorities for projects with the greatest need.

The state spent nearly $600,000 to renovate an abandoned schoolhouse in Ribera and later sold the still unfinished building for $39,000 to the nonprofit group that originally donated it. NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO

Bug: Collection is a work in progress Continued from Page A-1 process not unlike a Buddy Rich improvisation. “No one else mounts their bugs like me,” Greer says. “I let the insects tell me where they need to go to look their best.”

He also stretches out the insects’ legs and antennae, rather than following the preferred academic practice of letting them curl naturally, in order to show just how large some specimens are.

And the collection is far from complete. Greer is still collecting and mounting specimens, and passersby can watch him work through the windows of the Harrell House.

He says that by the time he’s finished, he will have more than 7,000 insects mounted in around 80 glass cases, enough to completely cover the limited wall space at the Harrell House.

Greer collects some specimens himself, and others come from local donors. But Greer finds the majority of his bugs on the international market, such as the pair of giant birdwing butterflies he recently bought for $500. Now that he’s mounted them, he says, they’re worth at least twice that.

Thanks to the steady trade in bugs, Greer’s collection has insects from all over the world. The Bug Museum contains specimens like a goliath birdeater tarantula from Brazil, a pink-winged stick insect from Australia and a Peruvian giant whip spider, whose front legs are 24 inches across, to name but a few.

It is with obvious pride that Greer calls his collection a “window to the world.”

The museum, which opened in early May in the Harrell House of Natural Oddities, a science boutique, is only the most recent home for Greer’s insects. His collection started taking shape in a basement office of the Ore House on the Plaza restaurant when Greer worked there as a chef between 1986 and 2009. When his cowork-

ers started having children, Greer began taking his bugs to their elementary schools to show at assemblies. And more recently, the collection was housed in the Santa Fe Children’s Museum and in libraries in Santa Fe and Española.

But Greer says he hopes that he’s found a permanent home for his collection in the Harrell House.

Wade Harrell opened the store in February after he and his wife moved to Santa Fe from Virginia two years ago. Though his background is in art, Harrell wanted to open a science store and chose Santa Fe “because it has a real winter. And because there wouldn’t be much competition.”

The store, which began as a kiosk in the mall’s walkway before moving to its current location next to the Outdoorsman in February, sells everything from science toys to fossilized shark teeth and has been a hit in the mall. “They’ve had so much attention,” said Ellen Dickens, one of the mall administrators. “We really hope they keep doing as well as they have been. They’re good with people and very informative, too.”

While Greer’s insects are all mounted and preserved, Harrell

specializes in live specimens that he takes out for wide-eyed and sometimes cringing customers. Visitors can see and even handle critters like the Chilean rose tarantula, the African giant millipede or the vinegaroon, a type of arachnid that resembles a scorpion and can be found in New Mexico.

Greer discovered the Harrell House shortly after it opened when he spotted a giant emperor scorpion through the window as he walked by.

“It was this enormous emperor scorpion that had been mounted,” Greer recalls. “I’ve never seen anything bigger. So I got Wade’s information and called him that evening and asked, ‘Can I buy that scorpion?’ I was so desperate to have it. And when I explained that I had this bug collection, Wade said, ‘Oh, I’ve been wanting to meet you.’

So, you could say our paths crossed because of a dead scorpion. A monstrously huge dead scorpion!”

Now, the two seem to have settled into a comfortable partnership.

Greer’s mounted specimens have been integrated with Harrell’s live ones. Tanks of live tarantulas and scorpions adorn a wall facing a case full of their mounted counterparts.

And though Harrell and Greer are both technically amateurs, their experience is evident. Each can talk at length about any specimen on the premises. “I used to be shy when I was a kid,” Greer told one bashful child who shrank away from his insects. “Now people have to pay me to shut up.”

Ironically, or perhaps fittingly, Greer says he is arachnophobic. “If not for my fear of spiders,” he said with a laugh, “I wouldn’t have even noticed them. I would have had no compulsion or interest to collect them. And without [spiders], my collection wouldn’t be nearly as impressive.”

Feds back provider payment suspension Agency: State acted in accordance with rules after report

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

The state Human Services Department did not violate any federal regulation when it suspended payments to 15 behavioral health providers last month, according to a spokesman for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

But Brian Cook, media relations director for the federal agency, declined to answer specific questions about the situation — such as whether the state was forced by Medicaid regulations to suspend the payments and whether a serious need in rural areas for behavioral health services could be considered “good cause” for an exception to the suspensions.

“I can’t make any comment beyond that original statement,” Cook said in a phone interview Monday.

Cook’s statement, released Sunday night by Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott, said, “Based on information currently available, the [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] believes the [state Human Services Department] acted in accordance with federal regulation and CMS guidance in imposing the temporary payment suspension.”

In late June, Public Consulting Group, a Boston-based company contracted by the state, reported finding $36 million in Medicaid over payments to 15 New Mexico mental health and drug abuse providers — and claimed to have credible evidence of fraud by all the companies.

Last week, New Mexico In Depth, in a story published

by The New Mexican, quoted another spokesman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services saying, “States do not have to suspend payments if they can show good cause for not doing so.”

All 15 companies have applied for “good cause” exceptions, and the state has restored complete funding to one of the providers and partial funding to two others.

The New Mexico In Depth story also quoted Washington, D.C., attorney Adam J. Falcone — who represents behavioral health providers in other states — saying, “There is no requirement to suspend first and review good cause exceptions second,” Falcone said.

The state is in the process of contracting with five Arizona health care companies — which will cost as much as $17.8 million — to take up the slack of the suspended New Mexico providers.

Eight of the providers have filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to force Human Services Secretary Sidonie Squier to halt the suspensions until the state conducts hearings to give the providers an opportunity to clear their names.

According to documents filed by the state in response to the suit, the department first began to suspect widespread fraud late last year after OptumHealth New Mexico, which oversees behavioral health providers for the state Medicaid program, presented findings that “aberrant billing practices had occurred” throughout the network.

A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled in federal court in Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Opiate: Public Safety Committee to review proposal Continued from Page A-1 providers and others.

It partnered with the Santa Fe Community Foundation on a study that found that the cost of arresting and adjudicating 100 people over a three-year period from 2010 to 2012 was more than $4.2 million. The estimate did not include loss of productivity and earning or the cost of social support systems.

The current system is “fiscally unsustainable” and “ineffective,” the report finds.

The LEAD program, on the other hand, would cost about $3 million over the same time period and, in addition to saving money, would help improve public safety and public health conditions in Santa Fe. Plus, some of that cost could be defrayed by accessing Medicaid coverage, donated goods and services and by seeking money from private foundations and the state Legislature.

Such a program would reduce the burden on law enforcement, the jail, defense attorneys, prosecutors and the courts by lowering the number of low-level drug offenders entering the criminal justice system, the report notes.

It also is likely to reduce

opiate overdoses in the community, the task force believes.

(New Mexico has the highest drug-induced death rate in the nation, with Santa Fe County reporting a rate of 18 such deaths per 100,000 people between 2005 and 2009, the 15th highest rate in the state.)

Santa Fe’s heroin problem has exploded in the last five years, according to police Sgt. Jerome Sanchez, a co-chair of the task force. Sanchez said many of the individuals he’s been in contact with start off abusing prescription opiates and then switch to street-level heroin because it is less expensive and easier to acquire.

“In the old days, it was just relegated to Española and Chimayó and those were the heroin places to go, but now Santa Fe is it. People from those places are coming here for their heroin,” he said.

To qualify for the program, the task force recommended candidates be at least 18 years old and charged with possession of 1 gram or less of opiates (pills or heroin) or possession of paraphernalia. They must be amenable to diversion, nonviolent upon initial contact and not a threat to themselves or others and can’t have sold drugs beyond “subsistence level.” Indi-

viduals involved in any serious violent crime in the last 10 years, or who are suspected of promotion of prostitution or human trafficking or exploitation of minors, would be excluded.

The task force used arrest data to estimate that fewer than 100 people each year will likely qualify for diversion and enter the program, said Emily Kaltenbach, who serves as the task force co-chair and is the director of the New Mexico Drug Policy Alliance.

“The first year is going to be really telling about how many people will be eligible,” Kaltenbach said.

A key part of planning the program will include identifying gaps in treatment and figuring out how to close them.

“We have a lot of incredible options for treatment in this town,” she said. “It’s just that a lot of it is not coordinated and it may not have the capacity.

That’s a question the next phase will have to answer.”

The task force report says that stopping recidivism is key.

Among the 100 offenders studied, one-fourth were considered “frequent offenders,” who had an arrest rate significantly higher that the rest of the group.

Their incarceration and medical costs averaged $55,000 over the

No verdict yet in ex-officer’s trial The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Jurors ended their first day of deliberations on Monday without reaching a verdict in the murder trial of a former Albuquerque police officer accused of killing his wife, after hearing weeks of salacious testimony about his affairs with co-workers.

The jury of nine women and three men in Sandoval County will decide the guilt or innocence of Levi Chavez, 32.

Earlier in the day, jurors asked to see a piece of evidence, but further details were not immediately available.

The case has further tar-

nished the reputation of the Albuquerque Police Department, which is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department over a series of police shootings.

The trial included allegations that officers at the scene removed and even flushed key evidence down a toilet.

The deliberations followed emotional closing arguments on Friday in which prosecutors told jurors that Chavez killed 26-year-old Tera Chavez in October 2007 after she confronted him about his philandering ways and because she thought he had staged the theft of a truck for insurance purposes.

Chavez’s attorney, David

three-year period, compared to an average of about $36,000 for the remainder of the group.

While needs will vary, the report says three years of treatment and ancillary support services will cost an average of $34,000 per individual.

A fiscal impact report says the program’s estimated $1 million annual operating cost is likely to be offset by grants from the same foundations that support a similar diversion program in Seattle.

The Seattle Times reported earlier this year that the Ford Foundation led a group of other funders to provide $950,000 a year there for four years. Diversion programs have also been employed in San Antonio, Texas, and Memphis, Tenn., according to the task force report.

Services offered to participants would include assess-

ment, development of an individualized care plan, intensive case management, medicationassisted treatment with drugs such as buprenorphine and methadone, sober housing, primary care and behavioral health services, group therapy and other outpatient services as well as wraparound services such as education, transportation, job training, food and mentoring.

Kaltenbach said program participants won’t be asked to pay for services.

The resolution is set for another hearing before the Public Safety Committee at 4 p.m. Tuesday, at City Hall, 200 Lincoln Ave. Contact Julie Ann Grimm at 986-3017 or jgrimm@ sfnewmexican.com. Follow her on Twitter @julieanngrimm.

LOCAL NEWS HERMAN MONTOYA, 1910-2013

Herman Montoya sits at his feed store on April 14, 2010. In the mid-1930s, Montoya opened the fuel and feed store on Cerrillos Road, and in the mid-1990s, the Montoya family relocated the store to its current site on Agua Fría Street. ‘He was a very simple man, a very humble man, and a very proud man.

He loved his community — the village of Agua Fría — and he loved Santa Fe,’ son Ruben Montoya said.

Community icon

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

H

erman Montoya would wake up every morning and say, “God leads, and I follow.”

Last Tuesday, Montoya followed for the last time when he passed away in his bed at the home of his daughter, Connie Maes. He was about two months shy of his 103rd birthday — and he had been telling family members he intended to make it to 106.

“He was an icon in the community — everyone knew him,” said Ruben Montoya, one of his five children.

Montoya family members got together to reminisce about their father at the family’s Monte Vista Fuel and Feed at 3155 Agua Fría St. Monday.

Montoya may have been best known for his role as mayordomo of the nearly seven-mile Acequia Madre.

According to son Michael Montoya, his father told him he began cleaning the acequia at the age of 5 around 1915.

“In those days, the water was flowing in the acequia all year round,” Michael Montoya said.

“Everything that he did, he took pride in,” Michael Montoya said. “If things didn’t go well, he would just say, ‘Deal with it.’ ” Herman Montoya was born at his family’s home on Agua Fría Street in September 1910. By the age of 10, he was working as a bicycle messenger for Western Union, which had an office in downtown Santa Fe in that period.

According to his children, Herman Montoya liked to tell the story of the night around 1920 when he was delivering a telegram to an unlit section of Canyon Road just before midnight — when Western Union closed — and then getting so lost in the dark that he somehow ended up around where Airport Road is.

Like other challenges that faced the elder Montoya, he took it in stride.

He attended St. Francis Cathedral School before graduating in

the eighth grade, which was the custom at that time.

Though he did not have much of a formal education, son Michael Montoya said his father was “very wise.”

Neighbors, community leaders, and even politicians used to bend Herman Montoya’s ear for advice regarding various issues.

If he did not know much about the topic at hand, he would educate himself before offering a response, his children said.

Many people asked him to run for some sort of political office, but he declined, saying, “A politician — that’s something I’m not.”

In 1931, he married Margaret Velarde, who passed away in 1984.

If Herman Montoya was an icon to the community, then his wife “was an icon to him,” son George Montoya explained. She was a good mother, a wonderful cook, and, along with Herman, a spirited dancer.

In the mid-1930s, Herman Montoya opened the fuel and feed store on Cerrillos Road. The city did not have telephone lines servicing that area so Montoya would walk over to his office on nearby Hickox Street to use that phone to take orders for coal and wood. In the mid-1990s, the Montoya family relocated the

store to its current site on Agua Fría Street.

Herman Montoya worked there until 2009, when he was 99 years old. He expected all his sons to work in the store until they finished school and pursued their own careers. Son George Montoya still runs the family operation.

He noted that he was so loyal to the organization that when he got married, “I didn’t have a honeymoon. I had to come to work and shovel coal!”

Herman Montoya was president of the Caja del Rio Cattle Association, served on the Santa Fe Forest Advisory Board and was a member of the County Sheriff’s Posse.

His sons still recall Coca, the white Arabian mare their father rode during Rodeo and Fiesta parades as well as in other public events. “He [Coca] was a dancing horse, and Dad would ride him and make him dance during the parades,” Michael Montoya said.

Montoya was a devout Catholic who often donated his time, money and store supplies to neighbors and organizations in need.

“He was a very simple man, a very humble man, and a very proud man,” Ruben Montoya said. “He loved his community

— the village of Agua Fría — and he loved Santa Fe.” Progress and technology did not frighten or daunt him, his sons said. “Dad was not afraid of change,” Ruben Montoya said.

“He embraced it.”

Amanda Maes said her grandfather was intrigued by the power of her cellphone technology. “He was amazed that a phone could do so much in one,” she said. Together they made short home-movies on the phone.

She said the first thing Herman Montoya did upon waking every morning was turn on the radio and put on a bolo tie: “Nothing else first but that bolo tie,” she said.

According to his family members, Herman Montoya was alert, happy and still moving around pretty well until two days before his death. Even on his final day, he seemed happy, daughter Connie said.

He was not afraid of death, according to Ruben Montoya: “He knew it was part of the journey.”

Asked what they would miss most about their father, the Montoyas thought for a moment before responding.

“His smile,” Maes said.

“Him. Just him,” Michael Montoya added.

Social dancing was an important part of the Montoyas’ lives.

During last Friday’s services at St. Anne Parish to honor Montoya, Ruben told the assembly, “Now he’s up there dancing with Mom again.”

The family buried him at San Isidro cemetery, next to his wife.

As many as 300 people attended the services Friday, according to the Montoya children.

Suspected shooter in double homicide to face 2nd-degree murder charges State prosecutors fail to prove Christmas killings were ‘deliberate’

By Phaedra Haywood

The New Mexican

State District Court Judge Mary Marlowe ruled Monday that a teenager accused of killing two men at a party on Christmas night can only be charged with second-degree murder, and not first-degree murder as prosecutors had hoped.

In making her ruling, Marlowe noted that the state had failed to prove that Joe C. Rivera’s killing of John Griego, 23, and Nicholas Baker, 29, outside a party at the Valle Vista low-income housing development off N.M. 14 last winter had been “deliberate” (arrived at as a result of careful thought), one of the criteria for a first-degree murder charge.

Rivera’s defense attorney, David Silva, said the decision was “huge” for his client — who was just 18 when he allegedly shot the two men to death — because the lesser charges remove the possibility of his client being sentenced to two life sentences in prison.

Rivera will now face a maximum of about 30 years in prison (15 for each murder count) instead, Silva said, not counting additional time he may serve on lesser related charges such as tampering with evidence.

Marlowe ruled that the state had presented enough evidence to charge Rivera’s co-defendant, Bernie Trujillo, with tampering with evidence and conspiracy to tamper with evidence for his alleged role in helping dispose of the murder weapon, a gun that still has not been found.

According to evidence presented during Monday, the shooting took place at a private party and was preceded by a conflict over the purchase of a gallon of Captain Morgan’s rum and possible gang affiliations.

Rivera said in an initial interview with police — a video shown Monday — that someone at the party said “south side” to him when he got there. “I said, ‘No disrespect, I’m from the west,’ ” Rivera told police.

“After that, everything was all right.”

But it wasn’t. Rivera told police that after Cassandra Valencia, the girl he was with that night, purchased a bottle of liquor from someone at the party, his crew — which included his younger brother, another man and two other girls besides Valencia— tried to leave.

But, he said, Griego and Baker followed them out of the house and started running at them. Rivera said Baker grabbed his younger brother, then punched Rivera, who says he fell down because he was “already drunk.” Baker fell too, Rivera said, and during the scuffle, he saw a gun on the ground, picked it up and fired two shots.

That version of events differs from testimony presented by state witnesses who said they saw Rivera pull the gun from his waistband before he shot Baker and Griego.

Valencia testified Monday that she had already purchased the gallon of rum for $50 and was in the car when she heard two shots. The door of the car was open, she said, and she fell out when it began moving.

She got up, started running and caught up with the car, which contained Rivera and several others, according to her testimony. The driver then took Rivera, his younger brother, Valencia and two other girls to Pep Boys on Cerrillos Road, where they got out and ran, she said.

After hopping a fence, she said, they ended up at a residence in the Coronado Condominiums complex on Cerrillos Road. She and Rivera spent the night in a room there, she said, during which they drank the bottle of rum, and then went to sleep.

What happened after that is not clear. But Marlowe ruled that the state presented enough evidence to charge Trujillo with tampering with evidence for his alleged role in helping dispose of the murder weapon and clothing Rivera was wearing that night.

Rivera wasn’t apprehended until about a week later, when he was spotted riding in a car with two 20-year old twins, Antanette Baker and Ashley Baker, who were later charged with harboring or aiding a felon, according to a story in The New Mexican.

Evidence presented by the state Monday included recordings of telephone calls Rivera made to his younger brother from the Santa Fe County jail after his arrest.

Those recordings include conversations in which Rivera bragged about being “gangster” and “holding it down” and dissed others at the party as “nothing” and “not hood affiliated,” and he urged his brother to enlist others to “pump the fear” into certain witnesses to keep them from testifying.

The recordings also captured moments in which the teen told his brother he was “losing his mind” in segregation, and was very “stressed” with nothing but time to think about how he had destroyed his life.

“I can’t have kids,” he said. “I never had a life. I wish it would have happened when I was 17.”

Rivera turned 18 less than three weeks before the killings.

Police say gunshots fired off Cerrillos Road could be related Police say two incidents involving gunshots reported Sunday could be related.

Both incidents took place Sunday around 4 p.m. in the same area of town.

In one case, police responded to a report that Ricky Romero, 2239 Antonio Lane, accidentally shot himself in the foot in the 2100 block of Cerrillos Road.

The other report was that a man shot a firearm in the 1300 block of Luana Street, just one block away, and that the bullet entered a home and lodged in the wall behind a child’s bed.

“Witnesses report hearing multiple gunshots in the area,” according to Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman Celina Westervelt. She said investigators are looking into if there was some sort of shootout between Romero and and another person or persons. It is “highly likely a stray bullet from that incident hit the apartment and penetrated the little girl’s room,” she said.

City seeks to join marriage case

Plastic bag rules clear next hurdle A proposed city ordinance to prohibit single-use plastic bags at check-out counters is heading for a final public hearing before the City Council.

The city Finance Committee on Monday recommended approval of the rules, and the next step is for the City Council to vote on whether to publish notice of a public hearing tentatively planned for Aug. 27.

The plan, backed by Councilors Chris Rivera, Rebecca Wurzburger, Patti Bushee, and Mayor David Coss, calls for a citywide ban on distribution of thin-film plastic bags. Retailers would be permitted to offer shoppers a grocery-sized paper bag, but they would have to charge customers a 10-cent fee for such a bag. Stores would retain revenue from the per-bag fee to help defray the cost of providing bags.

The rules would allow shoppers on state and federal food assistance programs to get paper bags for free. Meat and produce bags would still be allowed at grocery stores, and small paper bags would be permitted.

Jambo cited for serving minor Popular African restaurant Jambo Café was cited Friday for serving alcohol to a minor in an operation to check compliance with the Liquor Control Act. In a joint effort by the Department of Public Safety, Santa Fe Police Department and the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, the agents, who are under 21, went to 16 separate restaurants to see if employees would serve them alcohol. Jambo Café was the only restaurant to be cited. According to a news release, the employee who was cited for serving alcohol to a minor will be referred to the Santa Fe County District Attorney’s Office. Jambo Café’s owner and executive chef could not be reached for comment Monday afternoon.

Also on Friday, the Department of Public Safety, the police department and the sheriff’s office conducted a “shoulder tap” operation, in which minor agents waited outside of the Wal-Mart Supercenter, 5701 Herrera Drive, and asked adults entering the store to buy alcohol for them. Out of ten adults approached, none agreed to their requests.

State auditor orders review of special-education funding

In brief

The city of Santa Fe asked the New Mexico Supreme Court on Monday to grant permission to weigh in on a same-sex marriage case filed on behalf of two men who were denied a marriage license.

City Attorney Geno Zamora wrote a motion to file an amicus curiae brief in the case, formally notifying the court of an opinion that his office issued earlier this year, which asserted that same-sex marriage is legal in New Mexico because the state Constitution does not expressly forbid it. The state Constitution, he wrote, “requires equality under the law regardless of sex.”

The case, filed by Egolf + Ferlic + Day, Attorneys at Law (a firm that includes Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe), seeks a writ of mandamus for Santa Fe County Clerk Geraldine Salazar, a legal finding wherein a judge would compel an elected official to take an action required by the duties of her office.

In early June, Salazar refused to issue a marriage license to Alex Hanna and Yon Hudson.

The city’s brief, Zamora wrote, would also “assist the court by presenting an argument that writ of mandamus to this court is proper because the claims raised by the petitioners … are matter of great public importance.”

Of the 207 findings in the report, Balderas’s letter cited five “material weaknesses,” 43 “significant deficiencies” and at least 158 instances of noncompliance.” The report noted 16 findings related to financial oversight and compliance failures which could “increase various risks, such as the risk of fraud or the loss of federal funding.”

“In sum, I am troubled by the number and severity of both repeated and current year findings contained in PED’s 2012 financial audit report,” the letter states.

Larry Behrens, public information officer for the publiceducation department, said in an email that, “We, of course, disagree with some of the characterizations in his report, but we take it seriously and are prepared to continue meeting with and working with the auditor, Legislature, and others to ensure that we are focusing on student achievement and reforming our education system to produce better results for our kids.”

He said the number of findings in the annual audit decreased by 44 percent from 2011 to 2012. He also noted that the department had succeeded in getting a $48 million waiver from maintenance-of-effort requirements for special-education funding in 2010 and is working on waivers for subsequent years. The state ran afoul of the requirements, in part, because of overall budget cuts in those years.

State Honored corrections officer survived 1980 prison riot warns of bears in city VALENTIN B. MARTINEZ, 1932-2013

A bear was seen Monday at five separate homes in the 600 block of Gonzales Road, going through trash cans and bird feeders, according to a resident of the area. The resident also reported that a bear visited the neighborhood on July 6.

According to Dan Williams, spokesman with the Department of Game and Fish, bears have been coming into the city because many have been displaced by forest fires in their habitats.

Williams added that it isn’t uncommon for bears to be in areas close to the foothills, like many neighborhoods on the northeast side of town. Because of this, if residents don’t take proper precautions, bears can become habituated to getting food from humans, and that can be a problem, Williams said.

If bears do become a problem — either returning repeatedly or becoming a safety danger — residents should call the Department of Game and Fish at 222-4700. But taking steps to keep bears away from homes can be the best way to ensure that Game and Fish employees aren’t forced to relocate a problem bear. u Pet food should be stored indoors, and pet dishes should not be left outside overnight. u Bird feeders should be brought inside at night, and trash should be put out the morning of trash collection, and not the night before. Williams said that bears learn when trash collection is and will return if they know there will be a source of food. u Grills should be cleaned thoroughly and stored after use if possible, since the scent can be picked up from a distance by hungry bears. Likewise, meat or melon should never be used in compost piles for the same reason. u Intentionally feeding bears can result in a fine of up to $500, and may result in the bear having to be killed.

It’s also important to know that if you see a bear, avoid direct eye contact and back away from the bear slowly, while making it known that you’re there by making noise.

If attacked by a bear, fight back with stones, shoes, or anything possible, aiming for the eyes and nose.

Police notes The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating the following reports: u A laptop and two suitcases full of clothes were stolen from a residence in the 100 block of West Manhattan Avenue on Saturday. u On Sunday, officers responded to a report of a suicidal male in possession of a firearm. The man voluntarily surrendered and was taken to the hospital for a mental evaluation. u A woman in the 3100 block of La Paz Lane reported that someone entered her home while she was sleeping Saturday night, but then fled.

Speed SUVs u The Santa Fe Police Department listed the following locations for mobile speed-enforcement vehicles: SUV No. 1 on Bishops Lodge Road at Valley Drive; SUV No. 2 on Governor Miles Road between Richards Avenue and Camino Carlos Rey; and SUV No. 3 on Rufina Street between Fox Road and Zafarano Drive.

Valentin B. Martinez, a former Penitentiary of New Mexico corrections officer who hid under a crawl space beneath the gas chamber during the bloody 1980 prison riot, will be laid to rest Tuesday, July 16.

Martinez, who moved from Taos to Santa Fe in 1968 to start work at the prison, died July 4 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 81.

His daughter, Cathy Martinez, on Monday recalled how she used to see her dad going to work every day. “He was tall with broad shoulders,” she said.

But after the riot — in which 33 inmates were slaughtered by other prisoners and 15 corrections officers were held captive — Valentin Martinez changed, his daughter said.

“His shoulders were slumped,” she said. “He’d shrunk.”

Valentin Martinez and another veteran guard, Antonio Vigil, took refuge from the rampaging in the dirty crawl space beneath the prison’s gas chamber as inmates overran the prison in the early morning hours of Feb. 2, 1980.

While some guards were beaten and abused by inmates, the prisoners never discovered the hiding place of Martinez and Vigil. “They stayed there for 36 hours,” Cathy Martinez said.

And for that time, the Martinez family didn’t know whether Valentin was dead or alive. “We couldn’t get any information about him at all,” Cathy Martinez said.

She said the family initially found out about the riot when her uncle, Valentin Martinez’s brother, heard a report on the radio that morning.

Valentin Martinez was one of the last two corrections officers to be freed after police took

control of the penitentiary, his daughter said.

In the aftermath of the riot, the guards who were on duty were not allowed to go back to work because of the trauma they suffered, Cathy Martinez said.

Within a year, Valentin Martinez suffered two heart attacks, his daughter said.

Her father never talked about the riot. Once, when she asked him a question about it, he got angry, she said. “So we never pressed him on it.”

But Valentin Martinez and the other corrections officers who survived the riot were honored a few months later by then-Gov. Bruce King.

And earlier this year, Valentin Martinez was present when Gov. Susana Martinez and Corrections Secretary Gregg Marcantel presented Medals of Honor and Medals of Valor to the officers (or the families

of deceased officers) in a ceremony at the Capitol.

“These men are examples for all of us today in the Corrections Department. Their sense of duty remained unwavering in even the most unspeakable moments of their lives and careers,” Marcantel said.

Valentin Martinez is survived by his wife of 58 years, Angelina Martinez, and children: Michael Martinez, Christine Rivera, Lawrence Martinez, Richard Martinez, Cathy Martinez, David Martinez, Valerie Martinez and Steven Martinez, all of Santa Fe; grandchildren; and several great grandchildren.

A rosary will be recited at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at St. Anne Parish. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at St. Anne Parish. Burial will follow at at 2:15 p.m. at Santa Fe National Cemetery.

Funeral services and memorials KATHRYN COLVIN WILSON Kathryn Colvin Wilson (Kay) of Santa Fe, died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 92 on July 11, 2013.

She was born June 18, 1921 to Kathryn and Ralph E. Colvin of Liberal, Kansas. She grew up in southwestern Kansas in the heart of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. Her fiercely independent spirit was forged during those years when families struggled to survive. Her dad was a hunter and always provided wild game for their table. Her childhood summers were spent at a family cabin in southern Colorado. It was in her cherished mountains where she met her future husband, David O. Wilson, at age 16. Kay attended Stephens College in Missouri, then earned a bachelors degree from the University of Colorado.

She worked as the youngest recruit in the American Red Cross in WWII in North Africa and Italy where she was a social director for the American troops. After the war, Kay was one of the first women accepted in an experimental course in business management training at Radcliff Women’s College at Harvard. She graduated before women were officially admitted to Harvard Graduate School.

Kay married Dave Wilson and moved to Santa Fe in 1949 where David worked the family lumber business and later construction of fine custom homes. Dave died from Parkinsons in 2000. They were married over 50 years and raised two lovely daughters. Kay was a treasured volunteer with the First Presbyterian Church, Girl Scouts, Santa Fe Garden Club, PEO, Carlos Gilbert School, the Women’s Board of the Museum of New Mexico, among others. She was an avid supporter of the arts and loved to play bridge.

Kay was known for her loving nature, full of gratitude for a life well lived. Her heart belonged to God, the mountains, and to her family and friends.

Kay is survived by her sister, Margaret Moore of Liberal, Kansas; sister-in-law, Rachel Wilson of Philidelphia; two daughters, Ann W. Jordan and Kathryn Lee and her husband, Terry Egbert, all of Santa Fe, two grandchildren, Jana M. and her husband, John Amacher of Santa Fe, and Stephen J.

Old Santa Fe Trail market has new look, new feel and even a new sound

H

ervey Juris had stopped off at Kaune’s Neighborhood Market to pick up some fixin’s for a late lunch. This day, it was tuna salad and coleslaw.

“I usually come in here once or twice a week,” Juris said as he paid cashier Sheri Trusty.

Juris, like other regulars at the landmark market at Old Santa Fe Trail and Paseo de Peralta, was taking note of store owner Cheryl Pick Sommer’s recent major renovations of the store.

“It’s really a lovely new ambiance,” Juris said. “Although it took me a while to find stuff.”

That’s in great part because, except for the meat market, the bread area and part of the dairy section, little in the store is where it used to be, and products are no longer displayed in long aisles (by Kaune standards) of row upon row of merchandise packed on floor-to-ceiling shelves.

Now, there are new wooden floors, more subdued natural lighting created in part from unblocking the windows.

Even the piped-in music — warm, soothing jazz riffs that swirl around shoppers — is new.

In a way, Kaune’s is a bit like an outdoor market with a roof over it.

Products seem arranged more in clusters than in typical grocery lanes of bathroom tissues, paper towels, cereal and plastic-encased bottled water.

“The store is laid out differently than any other grocery store you usually walk into,” Sommer said.

“We have a lot of corners, and we set it up so that there are small sections of aisles. Instead of having 15 or 30 feet, we’ve got a max of 6 to 8 feet in one stretch. And so you can see everything. We left spaces so you can wander.”

Added business manager Amy Frank, “There’s a new kind of fabulousness around every corner.”

Why the change? “We felt that

have the money to spend on specialty food items (and the time to look for them) that they likely would not find at, say, Smith’s or Albertsons, and in some instances not even Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s.

Think upscale, food fanciers who would, or maybe have, traveled to the Swiss-Italy border to get their Casaliva olives from 200-year-old trees, or prefer their cheeses rubbed with bergamot oil and orange blossoms.

Kaune owners have always fancied the place, on the same corner since the early 1950s, as a cross between a mom-and-pop neighborhood market with sawdust on the floor and pickles in a barrel, and an upscale pre-Whole Foods specialty store.

With the redesign, Sommer has knocked that niche concept up another notch. She, Frank and wine and specialty foods boss Jim Cook have used trade journals, fancy food shows and the latest inside scoops from product sales people to scout specialty niche growers around the world There are the jars of organic, handpicked Italian Violetta de Brindisi artichokes swimming in extra virgin oil, pickled green beans, mochi balls from Hawaii, lavender cheese from an artesian dairy in Utah and fruity balsamic vinegar from Chaparral Gardens on California’s central coast.

“It was our goal to find little suppliers — if we can get the products here at price point that people are going to be will to pay,” Sommer said.

“And hopefully in a less perishable form than from a [large operation].”

Cook said one of the store’s goals is to serve “people who care about where their food comes from.”

Longtime customer Jackie Grab sat at a table on the store’s west-side portal, now lined with tables where patrons can eat a freshly prepared chop salad or Google their afternoons away tapped into Kaune’s free Wi-Fi connection, another one of the benefits of the redesign, if you don’t mind the steady drum of traffic on one of the city’s busiest corners.

“The changes are wonderful,” Grab said. “It was so 1960s before. … This may be more expensive, but I think the convenience is worth it. You can get your coffee filters or buy olive oil from France.”

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico and Walgreens have launched a campaign to educate New Mexico consumers about the new health care reform law and provide them with information on how to access coverage and understand other changes they may experience as a result of the Affordable Care Act. This educational collaboration will help consumers have easier access to the information they need to understand the changing health care landscape right in their own neighborhoods, according to Blue Cross spokeswoman Becky Kenny.

Consumers from across New Mexico can now walk into a Walgreens store and find materials that will help them understand the new benefits and protections available as a result of the Affordable Care Act and learn how to purchase health care coverage that meets their families’ needs.

Consumers also can find information at a new website, sponsored by Walgreens and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. The website, learnaboutreform. com, provides a comprehensive guide to the law with detailed information on benefits, financial assistance, the enrollment process and other topics.

Informational brochures and signage will be placed in Walgreens locations throughout the communities they serve to make it easy for New Mexicans to learn about the law. The campaign’s website is designed as an additional resource, providing consumers with the tools and information they need to make health care choices that are best for them. Website features include: u Easy-to-understand explanations of what the new law means for consumers. u Frequently asked questions about eligibility for federal financial assistance, the individual mandate and penalties for not purchasing insurance. u An explanation of the enrollment process and how the new marketplace or “exchanges” will work. u Interactive links to a glossary of terms related to healthcare reform.

“

If this is going on, one has to wonder how secure the city’s systems are. The city and people in charge have proven once again that their priorities are not in the best interest of the city and the people. If you folks want the same old, same old continue down this path. I will say it again, every time some yahoo has access to our tax dollars, he cannot help but dip into the till.

had invested two years with a contractor identifying the needs of the mammoth IT infrastructure, I would be reluctant to begin the process anew.

New Mexico’s tempest in a teapot T he 15 New Mexico behavioral health-provider organizations that have been accused of Medicaid fraud by the Department of Human Services have been put in an impossible position. The state has tried them and found them guilty in the press. The patients they serve and the staff they employ are understandably frightened and angry.

The accused agencies have been defunded, meaning they are no longer reimbursed for providing care for the most vulnerable in their communities — persons with serious mental illnesses and substanceuse disorders. These persons, as well as the staff are worried, demoralized and uncertain about the future. All as a result of a process that seems to be designed to deflect accountability from the state.

It appears to be a case of guilty until

proven innocent. If these organizations — that have served their communities for generations — are guilty of “mismanagement, fraud, waste and abuse,” then doesn’t the state at least owe them, and the public, an explanation of how and why? Where is the state’s responsibility in this witch hunt?

How does the state account for the fact that the agencies it has certified and licensed — and whose activities it has reviewed regularly in the past — have gotten away with so-called “fraud” all these years?

When the steam clears from this tempest, I wonder if the charges will turn out to be documentation errors — serious but not fraudulent or criminal. Behavioral health agencies in New Mexico have to navigate some of the most complex rules and regulations that the state has ever had in place. The complexity has mostly served

to increase the chances for billing errors.

According to what is known about the audit, none of the findings reached a “Risk Tier 4” level to indicate “Credible Allegations of Fraud.” Still, all 15 agencies were referred to the Attorney General’s Office for further review, resulting in Medicaid payments being stopped.

We urge New Mexico officials to expedite the investigation so providers can care for those they serve and work collaboratively with the state to resolve valid concerns. And in the meantime, the payment freeze should be lifted while the investigation is on. Lives are at risk.

Linda Rosenberg is the president and CEO for the National Council for Behavioral Health.

Woman found dead in arroyo remembered as artist, mom, July 10 I live in the neighborhood and experienced the “ violent hailstorm that precipitated this tragedy. It

was so painful to be in that I gave up saving my potted plants and stood back to marvel at the power of the storm. My theory is that, if Tina was caught in the storm while walking on Llano Street from the library or store, that she would have been forced to shelter in the culvert because the hail was so painful. The flash flood came extremely quickly and was flowing at about 4 feet per second. Its power can be judged from the height of the water and its extreme turbidity, but it would have been inaudible under the sound of the hail. Looking downstream (which is likely given the view from the tunnel) one would have been taken completely by surprise. I just happened to film the area Tina was found when the flood was at its peak and am willing to share it with relatives if that will help with closure.” J.H.

Artists sue gallery owner over claims of unpaid artwork, July 9 I work in media relations with local and national “ print, Web and broadcast outlets on a daily basis. I

hate to say this about anyone in media, but … really?

This is terrible reporting. No comment from the artists, just copy from the complaint itself, which hasn’t been proven to be true in court. No confirmation of Mary’s Bonney’s comments (to prove that she was being honest with the reporter and was acting with kindness and consideration toward her accusers), no mention of how much money Mary has paid the artist over the years or comments from other artists Mary does business with to be objective. At best this is very poor reporting. …” L.K.

When you are informed of a situation and the “ paper calls the same day, you could use a moment to

collect your thoughts. The press is a great thing, but if you are being accused of something you have yet to digest, perhaps a moment to collect your thoughts isn’t too much to ask. I have known and shown with this gallery for six-plus years, and I find the accusations to be nothing short of mystifying. Mary has never been anything but helpful, supportive and generous beyond measure to me. …” N.I.

I hardly think Mary ‘begged’ the press not to re“ port this situation. She says she politely asked them

not to feed the fire. This is a perfectly reasonable request and one which The New Mexican was free to ignore. Wild accusations of swindling and deception sell newspapers and incite those readers who have stereotypical notions of the parties involved to give their literary ‘creativity’ free rein. I hope Mary will take some comfort in realizing both The New Mexican and many of its readers have short attention spans. Soon the readers will be on to the next shiny object. And the writers for The New Mexican will move on the the next easy pickin’s.” S.G.

8 citizens take over budget duties W hat if you went away and left someone in charge of your checkbook? When you returned, all your money was gone and you owed $53,000 for every member of your family.

You’d be mad, right? Well, that’s what the Congress of the United States of America has done to you — and to us all.

Recent public opinion polls show that only about 10 percent of Americans approve of the job that Congress is doing.

And why not? Congress is supposed to manage our money and it has pushed us close to bankruptcy. Our federal debt in 1900 was about $2 billion, and today it stands at $16.9 trillion. It’s a failure of leadership and it could send us into a depression much like the 1930s.

But no one seems to be doing anything, so we thought we would try. Many of us feel that a few people sitting around the kitchen table could solve these problems over a weekend, if given the chance, and so we decided to try to do what Congress cannot do — balance the federal budget, over a two-day period. What came out of the effort is a documentary film, called Big Bad Budget, shot at Central New Mexico Community College late last month.

We gathered eight people, four Republi-

cans and four Democrats (actually, one was a registered independent who caucused with the Democrats). These people were cloistered at the Advanced Technology Center at CNM and given a big job.

Balance the federal budget.

Tom Carroll Nothing was arranged, no fix was in. They could have failed, just as Congress has for years, or succeeded. And we knew that if they succeeded, people around the country could be asking, “If eight people in Albuquerque can balance the budget, why can’t Congress?”

As director and moderator of this film, I knew that it could have been a bust and that there would be no movie at the end of it, but I also had faith that eight reasonable people, not budget experts, not government officials, could tackle the job free from the special interests and the campaign contributions.

The group of eight gathered on a broiling June day at CNM and spent the first day in heated debate over the key issues: Social Security, health care costs, the defense budget, even the Department of Commerce (just what does that department do, after

all?). They fought, well, like Congress, arguing the classic Republican and Democrat positions. They argued about people who really needed help from the government and people who are mooching off the system. They talked about wars ending and whether 99 weeks of unemployment is too much (two years!). On and on it went through the first day, with a lot of argument but no real resolution.

On the second day, they locked horns.

One side would never cut Social Security, the other side did not want to raise any revenues. It looked like they would fail, just like Congress. They drew lines in the sand and no one would cross them. Just like Washington, D.C. We won’t tell you the ultimate outcome here. You’ll have to wait for the movie to come out in the fall to see what happens.

But know this — these people fought harder than anyone possibly could to do what Congress cannot do, and they fought valiantly, in the hopes of seeing the country avoid a new depression much like Greece is going through now. Win or lose, they did their best. I wonder if Congress can say the same.

Poverty grows, but does anybody care?

A

merica is awash with money.

Yet poverty continues to grow.

Does anybody care?

The latest government figures show that 46 million Americans live in poverty, more than at any other time in our nation’s history. That’s 15.1 percent of our population. One in 5 children live below the poverty line of $22,314 for a family of four, compared to 1 in 12 in France and 1 in 38 in Sweden.

Yet whenever elected officials ask their constituents what issues are most important to them, poverty isn’t even on the list.

The economy, jobs, Afghanistan, the environment, health care and education always show up. But not poverty.

Accordingly, Congress is now debating not whether to cut food stamps for the poorest Americans, but by how much.

The Senate is proposing $4 billion in cuts.

The House wants to cut $20 billion. Many Democrats are supporting the Senate version.

More than a half-million people are homeless in America. Food banks and homeless shelters are serving more people now than a year ago. Unemployment is at 7.6 percent.

The problem is that all the private charities in America can’t end hunger and poverty. Ending poverty demands government programs, such as Social Security, unemployment compensation, Medicare, welfare, food stamps, child care and more.

The 1996 Welfare Reform Act was sold to us as a way to get people off welfare, and it did. Welfare rolls in the United States are down more than 50 percent. But it didn’t reduce poverty. That’s because welfare reform dumped many recipients into lowpaying jobs — with no benefits or ability to move up.

Does anybody care?

Maybe we care, but we don’t know what to do about it. So we shrug, say the poor will always be with us, and forget about it.

In 1969, a Presidential Commission recommended we establish a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) at the poverty level for all Americans.

Fast-forward 44 years, and we find that welfare has failed because it has destroyed people’s ability to take control of their own lives and make their own decisions. We assume the poor are incapable of making sound decisions; that they can’t be trusted with cash and have to be protected from

themselves. There are more than 300 income-tested social programs costing more than $400 billion a year. Much of that money goes for administrative expenses, not to the needy.

Charles Murray, whose 1984 book, Losing Ground, claimed that welfare was doing more harm than good, now agrees with the BIG approach. He now calls for an annual cash grant of $10,000 — with no work requirements — to every adult over age 21.

Indeed, the U.S. is a wealthy nation. Our 2011 Gross Domestic Product was $14.4 trillion. That’s an average of $46,000 for each man, woman and child in the country. It’s an average of $61,000 per adult. It’s more than enough to end poverty.

Poverty is wrong. A Basic Income Guarantee would establish economic security as a universal right. It gives each of us the assurance that, no matter what happens, we won’t go hungry.

Apprentices: A way to recruit

T

he United States is becoming a dysfunctional country: Politically, it’s lurching from one embarrassment to the next, but economically and technologically, it’s rising at an amazing speed.

That’s one of the first things that came to my mind when I read a new report by Merrill Lynch stating that “an economic revival is taking hold in the United States,” and saw a separate report from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office showing that the technological gap between this country and its closest rivals remains as large as ever.

To be sure, the United States has egg on its face when it comes to its image abroad.

Just when the headlines of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden’s defection were beginning to fade from the front pages, new Snowden revelations about alleged U.S. electronic surveillance operations in Europe and Latin America are riling U.S. friends and foes alike.

Even close Washington allies, such as Mexico, Colombia and Chile are demanding explanations — and apologies — from the Obama administration. It’s the biggest U.S. diplomatic fiasco since WikiLeaks’ 2010 disclosure of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables, including some in which high-ranking U.S. officials questioned the mental health of Argentina’s president, and called then Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi “vain and ineffective.”

When it comes to domestic politics, Washington is not doing much better. Congressional gridlock is as bad as ever — the 113th Congress has passed only 15 legislative items during the first six months this year, a historic

low — and Democrats and Republicans are unlikely to work more closely as we approach the 2014 mid-term elections.

But economically and technologically, it’s an entirely different story. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard and Poor’s 500 index of stocks reached all-time highs last week, and the U.S. government reported a $116 billion budget surplus in June, the largest in five years.

More importantly, several long-term trends bode well for the U.S. economy.

According to the recent Merrill Lynch Wealth Management Report entitled “A transforming world,” the U.S. economic “revival” is due to three factors: a growing energy independence, an increasingly competitive manufacturing sector and continued technological leadership.

After depending on oil imports for almost 70 years, the United States is on its way to achieving energy independence thanks to the new hydraulic fracturing — or “fracking” — natural gas extraction technology. This energy revolution will expand to all corners of the economy, as U.S. manufacturers benefit from lower energy costs, it says.

Simultaneously, massive layoffs after the 2008 eco-

nomic crisis have lowered U.S. labor costs, making U.S. corporations more profitable and manufacturing very competitive, it says.

Finally, an explosive growth in technological innovation — including robotics, cloud computing and personalized medicine based on genetic testing — will give a further push to the U.S. economy, the report says.

A separate report from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office confirms that, when it comes to innovation, the United States remains far ahead of any other country.

U.S. companies and individual inventors filed 134,200 patents of new invention at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2012, up from 121,300 the previous year, according to the new figures.

The number of patents registered at the U.S. agency is considered a key benchmark for innovation because inventors from most countries want to register their patents in the world’s largest market.

The United States was followed far behind by Japan’s 52,800 patents, Germany’s 15,000 and South Korea’s 14,000. By comparison, China registered 6,000 patents, India 1,700 and Russia 340.

Among Latin American countries, Brazil registered 256 patents, Mexico 153,

Argentina 67, Chile 38, Venezuela 26 and Colombia 16.

Most economists agree that patents are an increasingly important measure of economic development because the world is moving further into a knowledge economy in which countries that produce high-tech goods and services become much richer than those that only sell raw materials.

It’s no coincidence that the richest people on earth, such as Microsoft founder Bill Gates or Mexican telecommunications tycoon Carlos Slim, produce technology related goods. In today’s world, a successful software program or a popular design are much more valuable exports than food — or most metals.

My opinion: When I travel abroad and somebody asks how the United States is doing, I usually respond that it depends how you look at it.

Politically, it’s losing ground; economically and technologically, it’s surging.

It’s like a creative, hardworking giant with no social skills. You can either laugh at its political embarrassments, or marvel at its innovation ability — or both.

Bad history Barry Hornstein notes that “a quick reading of 20th-century history will reveal” that Hitler’s Germany, along with Mao’s China and Stalin’s Soviet Union, was “born from Marxist socialism” (Letters to the editor, “A different source,” July 13). Mr. Hornstein should take his time reading history because he is wrong.

Hitler was no Marxist. He was a National Socialist, or Nazi.

The Nazis, among other things, were anti-communists. They fought against communism after World War I and Hitler hated the communists. The anti-Semitic Nazis denounced communism and capitalism because they considered both, as Wikipedia put it, to be “associated with Jewish materialism.” Marx, a German, was born into a Jewish family.

uch of the focus during today’s Public Safety Committee for the city of Santa Fe will be on beer. Specifically, whether beer drinkers should remain penned up at the Santa Fe Fuego baseball games or whether it’s safe to let grown-ups have a beer or two while sitting in the bleachers. But there’s another item on the agenda people should embrace — one with long-term implications for the health and safety of Santa Fe. The proposed resolution is asking the “City of Santa Fe public safety staff to develop a public safety apprenticeship program that will benefit residents of Santa Fe and directing the city manager to explore the options for establishing apprenticeship programs in other areas of the city.” Turns out, new Fire Chief Erik Litzenberg has been working on this idea for some time; his department will be ready and able to get started immediately should the full City Council approve the resolution.

The idea is simple: Apprentices, several at a time, would serve three or four months and see how firefighters work.

The apprenticeship will be for those 18 and older with a high school degree or the equivalent, making it easier for them to work alongside full-time firefighters. They would be paid, Litzenberg said, so funding will be part of the discussion.

What the apprenticeship program would do is help Santa Fe recruit early for its firefighters and other public safety workers. One issue that comes up repeatedly is that Santa Fe can’t recruit local firefighters and police officers because the cost of living is expensive; to afford bigger houses and find better schools, many city workers live elsewhere. The city draws workers in from Rio Rancho or the far reaches of the county. This costs Santa Fe the benefit of having officers and firefighters who live in and know the neighborhoods, as well as the people who live here. As a city, we lose economically. The taxpayer-funded paychecks earned by workers who live away from Santa Fe are spent in those cities, not here at home. A 2007 McCune Foundation study estimated that the city loses $301.6 million a year when workers live elsewhere and commute to their jobs; city workers, of course, are only part of that pool of commuters. Imagine, though, what it would mean to Santa Fe if public safety workers lived in the city they serve and protect.

Recruiting locally offers a long-term solution to creating community and gives the city a shot in the arm economically. An 18-year-old who apprentices in 2013 might then go to the Santa Fe Community College and take criminal justice or emergency medicine courses, perhaps not returning to work as either a police officer or firefighter until later.

Still, after being given an introduction to the career, to the joy that comes from helping people and keeping our community safe, these apprentices could grow into the public servants we need.

An apprenticeship program is a good idea, and we look forward to seeing it adopted and put into practice. Eventually, we think a partnership with the public schools would be useful. Much like the medical academy programs at Capital High School, criminal justice or emergency medicine classes could help students prepare to be apprentices while in high school. The Public Safety Committee hearing is just the beginning of the discussion. It’s a worthy one to have, one with the potential to assist both our fire and police departments in years to come.

The airline is suing television station KTVU for releasing bogus and offensive names of the pilots on the aircraft.

Asiana to sue TV station over bogus names The Associated Press

S

EOUL, South Korea — Asiana announced Monday that it will sue a San Francisco TV station that it said damaged the airline’s reputation by using bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on a plane that crashed earlier this month in San Francisco.

An anchor for KTVU-TV read the names on the air Friday and then apologized after a break.

The report was accompanied by a graphic with the phony names listed alongside a photo of the burned-out plane that had crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6, killing three and injuring dozens.

Video of the report has spread widely across the Internet since it was broadcast.

The National Transportation Safety Board has also apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.

Asiana has decided to sue KTVU-TV to “strongly

respond to its racially discriminatory report” that disparaged Asians, Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said.

She said the airline will likely file suit in U.S. courts.

She said the report seriously damaged Asiana’s reputation.

Asiana decided not to sue the NTSB because it said it was the TV station report, not the U.S. federal agency that damaged the airline’s reputation.

Lee did not elaborate.

Tom Raponi, KTVU Vice President & General Manager, said in a statement that KTVU would not be making any further comment because of the airline’s threat of a lawsuit.

Neither the station nor the NTSB has said where the names originated.

The four pilots, who underwent questioning by a U.S. and South Korean joint investigation team while in the United States, returned to South Korea on Saturday.

South Korean officials plan to conduct separate interviews with them, South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said.

Official: Intern no longer at NTSB SAN FRANCISCO — A government official with knowledge of the situation says a summer intern who confirmed erroneous and racially offensive names for the pilots of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 is no longer an intern with the National Transportation Safety Board.

The official wasn’t authorized to comment about personnel matters and spoke Monday on condition of anonymity.

Also, the NTSB has closed its San Francisco command post, concluding the on-scene investigation into the crashlanding of Asiana Airlines Flight 214.

Newsmakers Randy Travis recovering and awake after stroke

Randy Travis

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music star Randy Travis was awake and interacting with his family and friends Monday as he recovers from surgery following a stroke, his doctors said.

In a news release and video from the Texas hospital where the 54-year-old singer is recovering, doctors said Travis remains in critical condition and on a ventilator, but is off a heart pump and is breathing spontaneously. His breathing support is gradually being reduced and he has begun the early stages of physical therapy.

Mary Davis, Travis’ fiancée, thanked the singer’s friends and fans for their prayers and support. Travis will stay at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano for two to three more weeks before being transferred somewhere else to undergo aggressive physical therapy. Doctors say it will take months to recover from the stroke, but scans shows the swelling in his brain is subsiding following surgery and he is making good progress in his recovery.

His 1986 debut album Storms of Life sold 3 million copies, and helped return country music to the sound of Hank Williams and George Jones.

Froome looks unbeatable in Tour de France quest

By Jerome Pugmire

The Associated Press

today on tv

ENTRECHAUX, France — There appears to be little to stop Chris Froome from reaching the Champs-Elysees on Sunday in the yellow jersey and becoming the second straight British cyclist to win the Tour de France.

After another brutal attack in the mountains on Sunday, Froome leads Bauke Mollema and Alberto Contador by more than four minutes with only six stages left — four of them suited to him. There is a time trial Wednesday, followed by three straight days of tortuous climbs in the Alps.

But winning looks like the easy part.

The 28-year-old Froome’s physical superiority at the 100th Tour has raised eyebrows, practically inevitable in the climate of suspicion that haunts cycling after Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven titles for doping.

This year’s race is the first since Armstrong lost his titles, and Froome understands the tone of the questions. Still, he

was unhappy that doping became a main topic of his news conference Monday’sav rest day.

That followed his stage win on Mont Ventoux, a mammoth climb in Provence that he tamed with two blistering attacks and where he left Contador — the 2007 and 2009 Tour champion — lagging behind.

“I just think it’s quite sad that we’re sitting here the day after the biggest victory of my life … quite a historic win, talking about doping,” Froome said. “Here I am basically being accused of being a cheat and a liar and that’s not cool.

“To compare me with Lance, I mean, Lance cheated. I’m not cheating. End of story.”

With so many of cycling’s recent exploits later shown to have been drug-assisted, people understandably want to know whether they should continue believing. Froome’s performances are subject to intense debate on social

ALL-STAR BASEBALL HOME RUN DERBY

43-year-old opens his defense of major title Thursday at Muirfield

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

GULLANE, Scotland — Two dozen cameras were in position Monday morning to capture the first big moment of this British Open, only they weren’t anywhere near the golf course. They waited in the driveway as a silver station wagon pulled through the gate and stopped in front of the clubhouse at Muirfield.

Ernie Els climbed out of the back seat holding the shiny claret jug he won last year at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Ernie Els and he promptly handed it over to Royal & Ancient chief executive Peter Dawson.

“Thank you,” Dawson told him.

“You’ve been a great champion.”

Now it’s up to the 43-year-old to reclaim the silver prize, and that doesn’t figure to be easy.

Els won last month in Germany.

He won the last time the Open was played at Muirfield in 2002. He has more top 10s in the British Open than any other major. But he has this piece of history working against him — the last major champion in his 40s to successfully defend his title was Old Tom Morris, and that was 151 years ago.

The Big Easy is not a betting man, but he was asked to pick someone to wager a pound on at Muirfield.

“I’d have to look at the odds, wouldn’t I?” he said, trying to buy time. “Maybe a long shot. I like to go for the long shots.”

That’s what he might have been considered last year at Royal Lytham.

He was winless on a major tour in two years, failed to qualify for the Masters for the first time in nearly two decades and was No. 40 in the world. But he was close to flawless on the back nine and was the recipient of a shocking collapse by Adam Scott, who made bogey on his last four holes to finish one shot behind.

Back to the wager. He was asked who should be considered in the pole position.

“To name one, I’m going to have to name 20,” Els said. “That’s how close it is. I don’t know. A guy who likes the layout. A guy who likes the bounces. I’m not sure.”

That was a good start.

There is nothing like links golf, with its humps and mounds along the fairways, a landscape framed by tall grass and dotted with pot bunkers.

It can be played in the air when the grass is green during wet summers, or played on the ground when the course is crusty and yellow, which is the case this year at Muirfield.

Els remembers his first experience with links golf, and he loved it right away.

cespedes steals show Athletics slugger hammers 32 home runs to win Derby

By Mike Fitzpatrick

The Associated Press

n

EW YORK — The Home Run Derby champion didn’t even make the All-Star team.

Yoenis Cespedes won baseball’s powerhitting competition with a dazzling display Monday night, becoming the first player left out of the All-Star Game to take home the crown.

The Athletics slugger beat Bryce Harper 9-8 in the final round at reconfigured Citi Field, hitting the decisive drive with five swings to spare.

In his second major league season, the outfielder from Cuba dropped his bat and raised his arm in triumph when he sent his 32nd homer of the night

some 455 feet to deep center field, where it caromed off the back wall of the black batter’s eye. He was swarmed by the American League All-Stars near the third base line.

“You come for a show in New York. He put on a show,” said Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer, set to start for the AL on Tuesday night.

The final addition to the field, Cespedes was the fourth player not selected for the All-Star Game to compete in the event.

Right off the bat, he proved he belonged.

With family in the stands, Cespedes hit a whopping 17 home runs in Round 1 — more than any other player managed in their first two plate trips.

“I felt that I was getting into a very good rhythm, and that as long as the ball was right over the plate, I felt like I was in a good groove,” Cespedes said through a translator. “That was the key.”

That sent him straight into the finals, though he added six long balls in round two for good mea-

sure. Some of his early drives were particularly impressive, too.

Cespedes hit about a half-dozen balls into the upper deck in left, never reached by anyone in a game, and banged another couple of shots off the restaurant windows in the corner just below.

The 27-year-old Cespedes has struggled as a sophomore, batting only .225 with 15 home runs, but hardly anyone in the game doubts his ability.

“This trophy will motivate me so that things continue to go well for me, and I just want to thank the people that believed in me, that thought I could play at this level,” he said.

The 20-year-old Harper, wearing shiny gold spikes as his father pitched to him, hammered eight homers in all three rounds. But the Washington Nationals phenom couldn’t keep up with Cespedes.

NEW YORK — Flip on any highlight show and you’re almost sure to see them, with those peachfuzz faces and boyish features beneath their bigleague caps.

Mike Trout makes a diving catch on the warning track.

Manny Machado whacks another double into the corner at Camden Yards.

Bryce Harper belts a tape-measure home run or barrels into a catcher … or an outfield fence … or whatever stands in his way.

The next generation of baseball stars has arrived and these guys are changing the complexion of the grand ol’ game.

Derek Jeter is 39 and injured, left off the All-Star team for the first time in eight years.

Matt Harvey is 24 and merciless, with a polished array of breaking pitches to complement 98 mph heat.

“These guys are coming up now with incredible talent, these young players,” National League manager Bruce Bochy said Monday at Citi Field, where the New York Mets are hosting the All-Star Game for the first time since Shea Stadium opened in 1964. “I think they are just getting better, faster, bigger, stronger still, and it’s impressive to watch.”

No kidding.

This time, they will start Tuesday night after get-

ting elected by fans with a fervor for the new boys of summer.

Some of baseball’s best players are among the youngest on the field. Night after night, they put up unprecedented numbers and turn in spectacular plays that belie a birth certificate from the 1990s.

“It’s good for the game,” Trout said. “A lot of young guys are playing fearless and making a name for themselves at an early stage in their career.”

Not only that, they move merchandise.

Jersey sales for Harvey, Harper and Trout rank among the top 10 this season based on purchases of Majestic tops at MLB.com, the league and the players’ association said last week.

Harper is 20, and Trout is all of 21. Barely old enough to vote, let alone buy a drink.

SPORTS NFL ROUNDUP

Clady likely back in early August The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Ryan Clady has been one of the NFL’s most dependable players, quickest healers and best risk assessors.

One year after rejecting a $50 million offer and playing last season for a relative bargain price of $3.5 million, Peyton Manning’s blindside protector cashed in on his gamble by signing a five-year deal worth up to $57.5 million over the weekend.

Clady is one of just four offensive linemen in league history to start every game in each of his first five seasons and also earn three Pro Bowl berths. He skipped last year’s trip to Hawaii with a torn right labrum that required surgery.

He hopes to be cleared by early August and the Broncos are confident he’ll be in the lineup Sept. 5 to face former team-

mate Elvis Dumervil when Baltimore visits Denver to kick off the 2013 season.

Clady’s proven healing power was on display in 2010 when he blew out his left knee on the basketball court in Ryan Clady April. He returned from surgery to start all 16 games and reached his previous form the last two seasons.

49ERS San Francisco signed undrafted punter and kickoff specialist Colton Schmidt to a three-year contract.

Schmidt will compete against punter Andy Lee and kicker Phil Dawson, likely serving as the backup and providing breaks for each during training camp.

Schmidt finished his career at UC Davis with 235 punts for 9,664 yards and a

school-record 41.1 gross punting average.

He also served as the team’s kickoff specialist, recording 34 touchbacks in 62 attempts.

BILLS Buffalo failed to reach a long-term deal with free-agent safety Jairus Byrd, and it’s unclear whether he’ll sign his one-year franchise tag offer from the team.

Byrd was given the “franchise” label in March, and the two sides faced a Monday deadline to work out a long-term deal.

Byrd has played in 62 games since the Bills selected him in the 2009 second round, recording 18 interceptions.

JAGUARS Jacksonville signed fourth-round draft pick Ace Sanders to a contract.

A receiver/punt returner from South Carolina, the 5-foot-7 speedster finished his college career with 99 receptions for 1,230 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Steals: Mets’ Wright done in first round Continued from Page B-1 “He’s incredible,” Harper said. “He’s an absolute machine.”

Colorado outfielder Michael Cuddyer and Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, who leads the majors with 37 homers, were eliminated in the second round.

Davis tied Reggie Jackson (1969) for the AL record before the All-Star break.

“I had a little blister come up [in the] second round. It’s just one of those things,” Davis said. “I usually get one once a year and it just happened to be [Monday]. It actually popped during a swing. My main concern is obviously not to hurt myself and to hang onto the bat.

“It’s something that I’ve dealt with in my career since I can remember. You’ve just got to kind of wear it for a couple of days and then it hardens up and you’re good to go.”

Citi Field opened in 2009 with cavernous dimensions and yielded the fewest home runs in the majors over its first three seasons. But the Mets erected a new fence in front of the old one, dubbed the Great Wall of Flushing, before last season, shaving dimensions by up to 12 feet and lowering the height of the wall from as high as 16 feet to 8 all around.

Since then, the ballpark has ranked closer to the middle of the pack in home runs, 18th out of 30, but it’s still no hitter’s haven.

In fact, hometown favorite David Wright of the Mets had joked that he would take his Derby swings from second base.

Baseball’s big boppers took aim at two trucks parked beside the home run apple behind the center-field fence, a popular staple at Mets games dating to their days in Shea Stadium.

Wright and another hometown darling, Pirates slugger Pedro Alvarez, were both eliminated in the first round.

Alvarez went to high school in New York City and grew up in the same Manhattan neighborhood as slugger Manny Ramirez.

“I ran out of gas,” Wright said.

Also knocked out early were defending champion Prince Fielder, the only player

spent less than a year in the majors. That didn’t stop him from earning his first AllStar selection on his 21st birthday.

“In today’s era, young dudes are getting better and more prepared to come up to the big leagues,” said Orioles teammate Adam Jones, an All-Star himself. “It’s just an improvement in the game. These young dudes are phenoms, and he’s put his name up there.

“He’s probably more mature than I am, and I’m 27.”

Machado was voted in by players, a significant sign of respect from his peers.

Well, mostly elders, actually. He certainly deserved it at a power-packed position after hitting 39 doubles in the first half, threatening the single-season record of 67 set by Earl Webb in 1931.

“Swing and hit the white ball coming at you. That’s all it is,” Machado said.

“There’s no secret to it.”

Just like Little League, apparently.

Sometimes he makes it look that easy, too. But take a swing around the majors and you see it’s not only Trout, Harper and Machado.

There is Miami rookie Jose Fernandez, a 20-year-old All-Star with a Cy Young future. Don’t forget lefty Patrick Corbin (23), who is 11-1 with a 2.35 ERA for Arizona. And second-year shortstop Jean Segura in Milwaukee, who leads the NL in hits at age 23.

“I feel pretty good when they compare me with those guys,” Segura said about his place among baseball’s new breed.

Then there’s Harvey, the New York Mets ace with 29 MLB starts to his name.

His next one will be Tuesday night on his home mound opposite Detroit righthander Max Scherzer.

Cano, the 2011 Home Run Derby champion, was booed relentlessly in Kansas

City last season after he didn’t tab Royals slugger Billy Butler to participate in the event, and the Kansas City crowd was delighted when Cano finished without a home run.

He connected on his third swing this time but finished last with only four.

Wright, booed in Pittsburgh last weekend for initially passing on Alvarez, hit five home runs as the sellout crowd of 43,558 chanted “Let’s Go Mets!”

Alvarez was added when Colorado outfielder Carlos Gonzalez pulled out with a sprained middle finger.

Gonzalez remains in the National League starting lineup for Tuesday night’s All-Star Game, though.

“For me, he’s the best pitcher in the game,” said Cody Ross, Diamondbacks outfielder, this month. “Not even just in the National League.

He’s really good. I faced a lot of those guys in the American League last Matt Harvey year and I can’t say that I saw anyone better than him.

“His mound presence is as good as you’ll see.”

There are 12 All-Stars this season 24 or younger, seven in the National League.

That’s the most since a dozen were selected in 1993, according to STATS — a group that included Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Piazza, Gary Sheffield, Mike Mussina and Juan Gonzalez.

The only player from that bunch under 23 was 21-year-old catcher Ivan Rodriguez. This year, there are four.

That doesn’t include Dodgers sensation Yasiel Puig, left out of the game after six electric weeks in the big leagues at 22.

More to come from him, for sure.

“Every guy that you just mentioned plays the game hard, plays it the right way every day. It’s so much fun to be part of that,” Harper said.

“I’m not going to back off the throttle at all. I’m full speed every day.”

In all, 12 players who qualified as rookies last season made the All-Star team this year. So much for sophomore slumps.

“There’s definitely a different breed of ballplayer coming out,” said Ron Gardenhire, Minnesota manager, last weekend.

“This seems to be one of those cycles where a lot of young players are flashing quick.”

Although fresh faces are taking over,

that doesn’t mean all the old guys are out. Mariano Rivera, Torii Hunter, Carlos Beltran and Bartolo Colon are back at the Midsummer Classic, bringing decades of experience and wisdom.

And what impresses veterans the most about this crop of young stars is the way they carry themselves on and off the field.

Harper occasionally flashes a hot temper with Washington, but opponents predominantly praise them for their allaround skill and steady performance.

“It’s different from when I first came up. Just the attention, the media coverage, the pressure,” said Twins catcher Joe Mauer, a No. 1 draft pick who made his first All-Star appearance at 23. “To keep everything in perspective and go out there and do your job every day and stay consistent is really what makes it pretty special.

“A lot of guys can come up and have immediate success right away and the league can kind of figure you out a little bit. But those guys keep going day after day and keep producing.”

Yankees manager Joe Girardi is reminded of the mid-90s when Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garciaparra all broke in at shortstop in the American League.

“It is kind of amazing the level that these young guys are playing,” Girardi said.

Making them just the sort of stars baseball wants to build around.

“I like the fact that they play the game the right way. They seem to get it,” said Terry Ryan, Minnesota general manager.

“They’re gifted, they’re energetic. It’s good to see a young, up-and-coming player that represents not only their franchise well but the game well.”

Quest: Steroids back in spotlight, not race Continued from Page B-1 media, cycling blogs and in mainstream media.

“I can assure you that we are thinking very, very hard about the optimal way of proving to you guys that we’re not doping,” said Dave Brailsford, Sky team manager, adding that the World Anti-Doping Agency could help by appointing an expert to scrutinize Froome.

“They can come and live with us,” Brailsford said. “They can have all of our information.

They can see all of our data.”

Brailsford and Froome would much rather be focusing on the Alps.

And judging by what Contador saw on the 13-mile ascent up Ventoux, the Spaniard has every reason to fear more misery there.

“My objective was to win the Tour, but [Froome] is a level above the rest,” Contador said.

If Contador thinks Ventoux was tough, then he will be dreading Thursday’s 18th stage — featuring two big climbs up l’Alpe d’Huez, one of the Tour’s most famed mountain passes.

That is bad enough, but Friday’s 127-mile trek from Bourg d’Oisans to Le Grand-Bornand looks horrendous.

There is simply no respite.

The day begins with two massive climbs, known as HC (Hors Categorie, essentially meaning they are beyond classification because they are so tough) and finishes with two nasty Category 1 climbs, a level just below HC but still incredibly hard.

For good measure, Saturday’s stage ends with a 6.6-mile HC climb up to Semnoz.

Froome, however, remains wary of Contador.

“There are a lot of very eager racers in the peloton left with a lot still to prove,” Froome said. “For us it’s about keeping the yellow jersey and riding in whatever way we can to best defend [it]. I don’t think we are necessarily on a mission to try and win every mountain top finish.”

There is a glimmer of hope for Contador, however, because Froome’s Sky teammates have struggled at Alberto times. On Contador two stages, Froome had to fend for himself.

If that happens again in the Alps — and if he has a bad day — he could yet lose a serious amount of time.

“Yes, there is one stage I am looking at. It could be a good day to try something,” Contador said through a translator. “I’m going to look for an opportunity. In one week’s time you’ll know which one it was.”

Sky now has seven riders because Edvald Boasson Hagen retired with injury last week and Vasil Kiryienka missed the time cut on Stage 9.

“We lost a lot of our horsepower, our engine room,” Froome said. “Since then it’s been about managing the resources we do have and trying to get through each day as best we can. I feel the guys have done a fantastic job.”

Froome may need a little bit more of a cushion, though, and could target the 20-mile time trial.

The race resumes Tuesday with a medium mountain stage from Vaison-la-Romaine to Gap in the Alps.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Manziel pleads guilty to misdemeanor charge The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor stemming from a 2012 bar fight near campus, closing a case that had dogged his Heisman Trophy-winning season.

Manziel admitted he failed to identify himself to police following the altercation. As part of a plea deal, other charges against the 20-year-old, including disorderly conduct, were dismissed.

Brazos County Attorney Rod Anderson says Manziel was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine, about $230 in court costs and was credited with the overnight jail time he served following his arrest. He had faced up to 180 days in jail for the June 2012 incident.

Police said an officer on bike patrol had intervened to break up a fight between Manziel and Marvin McKinney just after 2 a.m. in a street in the Northgate entertainment district. McKinney told police

that a friend of Manziel’s had called him a racial slur. He said Manziel shoved McKinney as he approved the two, and then they exchanged punches.

When officers asked Manziel for an ID, he produced a phony Louisiana driver’s license that showed his birthday as Dec. 6, 1990. Police Johnny Manziel checked Manziel’s wallet and found two more ID cards — a fake Texas driver’s license and Manziel’s real driver’s license that listed his date of birth as Dec. 6, 1992.

The quarterback dubbed Johnny Football piled up 4,600 total yards last season and helped the Aggies knock off No. 1 Alabama on the road. He became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy and has continued to garner headlines in the offseason.

He has been famously photographed partying and

gambling, and even his decision to take classes online last semester became controversial.

Manziel said his decision to limit himself exclusively to the virtual classroom was a reaction to the attention he was receiving, though he expects to return to regular classes this summer and next fall.

Not long ago, he tweeted that he “can’t wait to leave college station … whenever it may be.”

“Don’t ever forget that I love A&M with all of my heart, but please please walk a day in my shoes,” he added.

Manziel even drew attention this weekend after leaving the Manning family’s football camp in Louisiana a day early, citing illness.

“After missing and being late for some practice assignments, Johnny explained that he had been feeling ill. Consequently, we agreed that it was in everyone’s best interest for him to go home a day early,” camp spokesman Greg Blackwell said Sunday.

BRITISH OPEN MAJOR NOTES

Lefty looking to make it easy

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

GULLANE, Scotland — Fresh off a Scottish Open victory, Phil Mickelson showed up at Muirfield for the first time in 11 years and didn’t take long to figure out his strategy for the British Open. He wants to keep it as simple as possible and try to make easy pars.

He didn’t take the easy route on the par-5 17th, however.

Mickelson couldn’t resist the temptation of the dunes right of the green. He placed the ball on the upward slope, even with the flag, and attempted his favorite trick shot — hitting a lob wedge that goes backward.

With a full swing, the ball went up and over his head, landed on the green and stopped about 6 feet away.

But it was only Monday, a day of practice.

“It is fun to come in with a win, but now it’s time to focus on Muirfield and try to learn the nuances,” Mickelson said. “What I’m looking for is how to make easy pars, how to get the ball in the fairway easily, how to get it up and around the greens without a lot of stress, without having to hit perfect shots. Because imperfect shots will be magnified by the wind.”

Mickelson has not had much success in the Open. He finished one shot out of a playoff in 2004 at Royal Troon in what he considers his best week in the British Open.

Two years ago, he made a Sunday charge that came up three shots short at Royal St. George’s.

He is trying to understand how to play the game on the ground, so typical of links golf, but he said Muirfield is a course that sometimes requires the ball to travel more in the air to cover some of the pot bunkers short of the green.

Mickelson finished toward the bottom of the pack in 2002 at Muirfield.

He missed the nasty weather on Saturday that derailed so many other players, but failed to take advantage of the calm conditions and shot 76. He tried to come down on Tuesday of last week for a practice round, but he didn’t make it.

That means he will be spending more time playing the course than he does at other majors.

Take Merion, for example.

Mickelson did most of his preparations a week before the U.S. Open, so he had no trouble flying home across the country to San Diego for his daughter’s eighth-grade graduation and returning overnight in time for his Thursday morning tee time. He nearly won the U.S. Open.

At other majors, it’s not unusual for him to play one full practice round at the course and go elsewhere the rest

Phil Mickelson, who won the Scottish Open on Sunday, will be grouped with Hideki Matsuyama and Rory McIlroy in the first round of the British Open on Thursday at Muirfield in Gullane, Scotland. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

of the week until the opening round.

But he knows those courses. Muirfield requires getting reacquainted.

“This week I’ll spend more time on the golf course,” he said. “Being able to be here and have a few quiet days is good.”

His wife and three children were with him at Castle Stuart in the north of Scotland last week.

They dropped him off Monday and headed to Barcelona for a few days until the championship begins.

Fatigue factor Ernie Els has won major championships 18 years apart, and one big difference is the reaction of the media and the time commitments.

It can be exhausting, and last year’s win at Royal Lytham & St. Annes was even tougher because he wanted to honor his sponsor’s commitment by playing in the Canadian Open the next week. He never really recovered the rest of the year.

It wasn’t like that in 1994 when he won the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

“I think I did Matt Lauer and Today — Katie Couric was there still back in the day — did a little thing with them,” he said. “Went back to the 18th green at Oakmont, and that was the only thing. I didn’t even own a house

in those days. I got back on my plane, myself and [wife] Leizl, and flew back to London. We rented a cottage from Renton Laidlaw, and we just hid from the world there.

“The whole thing has changed a lot, especially since ’94,” he said. “There are so many story lines that people want. So it can get very, very busy.”

Hanson’s back Peter Hanson has been struggling with a sore back, and he’s still not sure if he’ll tee it up Thursday. He said it was 50-50 he would play.

“I thought the disk problem in my back was getting better, but then it starts to feel worse,” Hanson said.

Hanson had planned to play The Greenbrier Classic and the following week, either in America or Scotland.

But there was a rain delay at The Greenbrier, and he couldn’t move when play resumed so he had to withdraw.

He came straight to Scotland to work with his physical therapist trying to get ready.

The key was going to be Tuesday.

“If I can play nine holes pain-free, then that will be the key to my playing or not,” he said.

The first alternate if he were to withdraw is Joost Luiten.

The French connection

Thomas Levet was part of the fourman playoff at Muirfield in 2002, and he went one extra hole of sudden death before making bogey on the 18th hole and losing to Ernie Els. He didn’t qualify to play this year.

Neither did the other two from that playoff, Stuart Appleby and Steve Elkington.

Levet is doing TV work, and he said it’s been tough.

“I am fine here in the practice range, but when I walk back among the crowd it is difficult because everyone keeps reminding me of what happened in 2002,” Levet said. “I think I’ve signed 20,000 autographs already this week, so it is very difficult.”

France at least is represented by Gregory Bourdy, so maybe he can get atonement from his country.

“The question to Gregory is, ‘Who will be only the second French player to win the British Open,’ ” Levet said.

“And the answer this week will be, ‘Gregory Bourdy.’ ” Arnaud Massy in 1907 at Royal Liverpool is the only Frenchman to win.

Jean Van de Velde nearly joined him in 1999 at Carnoustie when he took a three-shot lead into the final hole. Van de Velde famously made triple bogey and lost in a playoff.

Returns: Spieth heading to Muirfield after John Deere Continued from Page B-1 “The sound is different. The divot into the fairways are different. The whole experience is different than anything else around the world,” Els said.

“So it’s something you’re either going to really like or you’re not going to like.

I was fortunate enough that I really fell in love with it.”

A long shot?

Maybe someone like Jordan Spieth, the 19-year-old who was headed toward another top finish on the PGA Tour until he holed a bunker shot for birdie on the last hole at the John Deere Classic, got into a playoff when Zach Johnson made bogey on the 18th, and won on the fifth extra hole.

Next thing he knew, Spieth was on a charter flight to Scotland for his first British Open. He has experience with links golf, having played the Walker Cup at Royal Aberdeen in 2011.

And for those who believe experi-

ence is required, Ben Curtis won in 2003 in his first major championship, let alone his first time playing links golf.

Curtis reunited this week with Andy Sutton, the local caddie Jordan he hired at Royal St. Spieth George’s. Sutton was told of an American player looking for a caddie 10 years ago and had never heard of Curtis. Not to worry. A lot of Americans had never heard of him, either.

Tiger Woods is always a favorite, and he has the best odds this week, even though he hasn’t won the claret jug since Hoylake in 2006.

Els is well aware of the quality of champions Muirfield tends to produce, from Harry Vardon and James Braid to Walter Hagen and Henry Cotton, from Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player to Lee

Trevino and Tom Watson, along with Nick Faldo and Els. And yes, he believes the course has something to do with that.

“It’s just a wonderful design,” Els said. “The par 3s are unbelievable. The par 5s have been changed a little bit — they’re longer. Each and every hole is a little bit different. There’s left-toright, right-to-left, and it all happens out there. Every links shot that you can imagine, you’re going to play it this week.”

Els returned to Muirfield a few weeks ago, and he played a quiet nine holes Sunday evening. He remembers much about Muirfield, a course where he tied for fifth in his professional debut in 1992 and won a decade later.

And there are some shots he is trying to forget, such as the double bogey on the 16th hole that nearly cost him a chance at having his name on that claret jug.

Els had to make birdie on the par-5

17th and close with a par just to get into a four-man playoff over four holes, and he won in the first sudden-death moment in Open history over Thomas Levet on the fifth hole.

Even then, Els hit into a bunker on the 18th and had to save par for the win.

He certainly is not ruling himself out this week, not after the victory in Germany and his tie for fourth in the U.S. Open.

Els might not win as much as he used to, but he plays the hard courses well. And with a forecast for dry weather and strong wind, this might be hard.

The claret jug is the oldest trophy in golf, first awarded in 1873. Els took it around the world over the last year, as he did after winning in 2002.

The jug stayed outside London the last two weeks, cleaned and buffed so it was shiny when he handed it back to the R&A.

NASCAR

Burton gets lift in hunt

By Dan Gelston

The Associated Press

LOUDON, N.H. — Jeff Burton once experienced perfection at New Hampshire.

He’ll take third place this time — and a renewed sense that he can make a late push for a spot in the Chase.

One of NASCAR’s most respected drivers, Burton’s run at his first spot in the championship field since 2010 got a huge boost with his season-best finish Sunday.

Yes, Brian Vickers’ trip to Victory Lane after a 75-race winless streak was the surprise of Jeff Burton the race. But right behind him was Burton’s finish. That Vickers-Kyle Busch-Burton trifecta would have paid off big.

Burton put Sprint Cup on notice that he can still make an impact in the standings over the final seven races before the field is set.

“We don’t think we are out of the Chase,” he said. “I know everybody else in the world does, but we don’t. We feel like we can still do it. There’s a lot of stuff that’s going to happen between now and Richmond. It’s so competitive, so tight.”

Burton jumped from 21st to 17th in the standings to move only 25 points out of 10th place and a guaranteed spot in the 12-driver field.

Burton, who led every lap in a 2000 win at New Hampshire, had a sluggish start to this season in the No. 31 Chevrolet. He had just one top-10 showing in the first eight races. The 46-year-old Burton appeared headed toward another lost season with Richard Childress Racing.

Winless since 2008, Burton just needed time to figure out his relationship with first-year crew chief Lucas Lambert.

“We are starting to learn each other,” Burton said. “The system that we have that Eric’s been working really hard to get put in, all that’s helping.”

His season started to turn at Charlotte.

Burton was 12th, then had back-to-back 11th-place finishes before finally cracking the top 10 again at Michigan.

There’s a reason, though, Burton said no one else considers his team a contender.

His recent runs have been solid, not spectacular, and he’ll need to show New Hampshire was the start of something big, not a one-off wonder.

“I’m not saying we are the class of the field, but we are definitely making progress,” Burton said. “We feel like we are starting to build on something, and we understand what we’re looking for now.

We have a baseline to work off, first time in a couple years we have a baseline to work off.

We are excited about it. We feel like we are understanding why we are running well and we think we can improve.”

Burton, with 21 Cup wins, has taken a backseat at RCR as Kevin Harvick has become the organization’s star driver.

But Harvick is bringing his Budweiser sponsorship with him to Stewart-Haas Racing next season, leaving Burton as the face of the company.

Harvick is a strong contender for his first Cup championship. His potential to leave the team with the sport’s biggest prize would be a huge void for any driver to fill, even one as experienced as Burton.

“What we have to do is embrace the challenge and embrace the opportunity and go out and try to make it work, and try to be better through it,” Burton said. “But you can’t lose a caliber driver like Kevin and it not impact you. It’s just that simple. I think we can overcome it, and I think if we set out to do it, we can be better. Not because he’s leaving, but because in his absence, we’re going to do stuff to fill that void and through that, you make him get better.”

READY FOR unconditional love? Meet Bela, a 3-year-old spayed female Belgian Malinios mix or possibly full Malinios. She has energy to spare, and will need an involved handler or family to keep her mind and body active. She is friendly, likes people and gets along with other dogs, but can be a little barky when meeting new dogs for the first time. Bela is crate- and house-trained and knows how to use a dog door. She is currently in foster care in a multidog home. This girl needs a job, so nose work or agility is right up her alley. If you’re interested in Bela, call Emily, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter’s Behavior and Training leader, at 9834309 ext. 280.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to take a good look at the basics before you move in a new direction and try to foster a seemingly good idea. Tonight: Time for a talk.

Mother gets cool reception from son Dear Annie: After my bitter divorce, my son decided to live with his father in another state. I have spent thousands of dollars on airplane tickets, hotels, car rentals and restaurants. I have never forgotten my two grandchildren’s birthdays.

Here’s the rub: To save money, I have traveled alone and stayed with my son. Recently, I stayed for four days. After traveling 1,000 miles, I spent two hours in a shuttle because my son did not pick me up at the airport as promised. When I arrived at their house, there was nothing to eat.

I had to ask my son to make something, as I do not feel comfortable in their kitchen. My grandson gave up his bed for me, and the room was a mess (to say the least). His bathroom sink and tub were clogged, and my daughter-in-law expected me to clean them. I also had to ask for fresh towels.

On one of the four nights, they left me alone while my daughter-in-law went to a concert with her girlfriends and stayed overnight, my grandchildren had sleepovers, and my son went to a bar (he is a hardworking alcoholic).

When my granddaughter showed me her 8th grade graduation book, she talked about her loving family and mentioned her grandparents on her mom’s side. (They live close.)

She never once mentioned my husband or me.

Do I continue to travel all these miles for this type of abuse, or do I go only when I can afford a hotel and car rental? They seem to have busy lives and make no time for this grandma. — I Have Feelings, Too. Dear Feelings: It’s difficult to be the grandparent who lives far away.

It’s expensive to travel, so those visits are infrequent. It takes effort to maintain a close relationship, and it sounds as if your son and his wife prefer not to extend themselves, which is sad. You don’t have to travel more often than you can afford, and

Sheinwold’s bridge

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH What might have seemed difficult now seems much easier. Listen to news from someone at a distance. Tonight: Others are delighted to see you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Deal directly with someone who holds the purse strings. This person is in this position because he or she has a good sense of what is needed. Tonight: Spend time with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be exhausted and looking for a solution. You might discover how willing others are to be your support system and/ or to pitch in. Tonight: Choose what makes you happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Pressure builds, as you could be stressed out by a boss’s requests. You will go out of your way to deliver what this person wants. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You know how to read beyond what someone says. You will look at the person in question, and you’ll carefully assess his or her demeanor. Note what he or she does not say as well. Tonight: Where you can relax.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, July 16, the 197th day of 2013. There are 168 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On July 16, 1973, during the Senate Watergate hearings, former White House aide Alexander P. Butterfield publicly revealed the existence of President Richard Nixon’s secret taping system.

Hocus Focus

be sure to invite your son and his family to visit you, as well. Then find other ways to stay in touch with the grandchildren — Facebook, email, texting, Skype, letters and phone calls. They need to know you better.

Dear Annie: I have learned that a college professor at a major university in my area uses obscenities while teaching his classes. He screams these diatribes at the students every day during his lectures. I saw a video of one of his classes and think the university should be informed. This is not how our young people should be taught.

Should I report him to someone?

Who? — Frustrated Alumnus Dear Frustrated: If you think this professor’s teaching “technique” poorly represents the university, by all means say something to the dean of his department or the president of the university. Suggest they look into his videos. But understand that it’s up to the university to determine what action is taken, if any.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to the letter from “Loveless and Discouraged,” who went through a program for sex addiction and was discouraged that his wife still does not trust him. Good for the husband for trying to save his marriage, but I’d like to explain his wife’s side of things.

I was married for 28 years to a sex addict who tried therapy, relapsed many times and eventually gave up. I wonder whether “Loveless” realizes the intense emotional damage done to a wife who has been repeatedly lied to and cheated on. She needs more time than he expects to focus on herself and to rebuild intimacy.

Has he truly apologized? Has he tried to see this through her eyes?

Has he been willing to take tests for STDs to reassure her that her health is not in danger? What is he doing to make sure this never happens again?
