Moisture-laden storms unloaded Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, setting some new records in northeastern New Mexico while delivering a welcome reprieve from the heat in Santa Fe. The National Weather Service in Albuquerque issued a flash flood watch through 3 a.m. Tuesday, especially for areas burned by wildfires in the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountains.

Heavy rains Sunday and Monday caused historic flows at a couple of stream gauges in the Canadian River and dumped a record 4.91 inches in Harding County’s Mosquero village in a 24-hour period. The Raton airport reported 3.99 inches by Monday morning. Santa Fe weather stations and observers reported between half an inch and 2 inches of rain across the city.

Still, only the town of Gladstone in northeastern New Mexico had reported flash flooding by 4:30 p.m. Monday.

‘More long days’ ahead in conflict, Israel warns

Proposal includes higher payroll contributions, funds from taxpayers

New strikes on both sides shatter lull despite pressure for cease-fire

Councilors back plan to reallocate bond funds $2M OK’d for underpass would go toward other projects on south side

By Barry Massey The Associated Press

Taxpayers and public employees would pay an extra $45 million annually under a proposal to improve the finances of a program providing subsidized health care for retired state and local government workers.

Mark Tyndall, executive director of the Retiree Health Care Authority, said Monday the Legislature will be asked to phase in the increases in payroll contributions over three years starting in mid-2016. Lawmakers convene in January.

A government worker or educator earning $40,000 annually would pay an extra $150 a year if the proposed 0.375 percent payroll contribution rate increase is enacted. Governmental employers — meaning taxpayers ultimately — would pay an additional $300 annually for that worker.

About 55,000 retired public employees and their families receive health care through the program, which is partly financed by insurance premiums paid by retirees.

If nothing is done, the program is expected to run short of money in about 19 years and be forced to trim benefits, Tyndall said in an interview.

But solvency could be extended to 25 years with the payroll contribution increases that will be recommended to lawmakers and other changes the authority’s governing board plans to implement on its own.

Under the legislative proposal, about 100,000 public employees would make an additional $15 million in annual payroll contributions if the increases are fully implemented.

Governmental employers would increase yearly payments by $30 million.

The Legislature turned down a proposal last year for a larger increase in payroll contributions.

Workers currently contribute about 1 percent of their salaries to the

Despite warnings that City Hall would risk losing credibility with voters in future bond elections, a City Council committee on Monday unanimously endorsed a proposal to strip away funds for a promised underpass along the Santa Fe River Trail at St. Francis Drive.

Under the proposal, the $2 million that city officials had earmarked for the project prior to a 2012 bond election would be shifted to various other bicycle and pedestrian projects, mostly in other parts of the city.

More than 5,300 city voters in 2012 supported a general obligation bond that included money for the promised trail connection under St. Francis Drive at West Alameda Street.

While the ballot question did not list specific projects, the underpass was included in information the city provided to voters to let them know how the city would spend bond money.

Pasapick Medicare hospital fund to last 4 years longer Report shows improved projections for federal benefit programs

Meanwhile, Social Security’s massive retirement program will remain solvent until 2034, officials say, although disability benefits are in more immediate danger.

The disability trust fund now is projected to run dry in 2016, unless Congress acts. At that point, the program will collect enough payroll taxes to pay only 81 percent of benefits.

Security and Medicare issued their annual report Monday on the financial health of the government’s two largest benefit programs.

The trustees project a 1.5 percent increase in monthly Social Security payments to beneficiaries for next year. That would be among the lowest since automatic adjustments were adopted in the 1970s. The increase is based on a government measure of inflation.

mium for outpatient care is expected to remain unchanged for next year, at $104.90. Average premiums for prescription coverage are expected to increase by less than $2 a month.

Social Security’s finances are relatively unchanged from a year ago.

Medicare’s improved finances are largely due to a continuing slowdown in health care spending, the report said.

DOGS ARE TOPS IN NEW MEXICO Brandy, an Pyrenees/St. Bernard rescue dog, is held by her owner Tony Pate of Santa Fe in front of the Michael Smith Gallery on Canyon Road on Dec. 24, 2011.

We all know there are only two types of people in the world — cat people and dog people. But data from market research firm Euromonitor suggest there are cat countries and dog countries, too. Here in the U.S., slightly more households own dogs than own cats. At the state level in the U.S., cats outnumber dogs in the Northeast and Upper Midwest. Dogs are the favorite in the South and Southwest.

The most dog-friendly state is Arkansas. New Mexico ranks No. 2 in the Top 10 dog-loving states. Overall, cats are the favored pet in most of Western Europe, with the exception of Spain, Portugal and Ireland. South America is strictly dog country, as is much of Asia. NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO

Va. gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional RICHMOND, Va. — A federal appeals court has struck down Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban.

A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled Monday that state constitutional and statutory provisions barring gay marriage and denying recognition of such unions performed in other states violate the U.S. Constitution. The Virginia gay marriage case is one of several that could go to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In February, U.S. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen ruled that Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban violates equal protection and due process guarantees. Lawyers for two circuit court clerks whose duties include issuing marriage licenses appealed.

The lawsuit was filed by two Norfolk men who were denied a marriage license and two Chesterfield County women whose marriage in California is not recognized by Virginia.

Filipino extremists kill at least 21 villagers MANILA, Philippines — Philippine military officials say Abu Sayyaf gunmen have killed at least 21 villagers, including women and children, in a road attack as the civilians traveled in two vans to visit relatives at the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan in the south of the country.

Monday’s attack was one of the bloodiest by the Abu Sayyaf in recent years. Marine Brig. Gen. Martin Pinto says the Abu Sayyaf militants staged the attack in a coastal village in Talipao Monday in Muslim Sulu province, where the militants have survived in jungle encampments despite years of U.S.-backed Philippine military offensives.

Sexual-assault suspect killed in N.Y. shootout NEW YORK — A California man who skipped town after being accused of molesting a boy was killed and three law enforcement officers trying to arrest him were wounded in a daytime shootout inside a small smoke shop in one of New York’s most bustling neighborhoods, officials said Monday.

The man, Charles Richard Mozdir, was recently featured on a CNN show about fugitives. He was wanted in a San Diego case and was charged with lewd acts upon a child younger than 14, a criminal complaint said.

The shootout between Mozdir and members of the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force happened in Greenwich Village not far from New York University in a highly trafficked tourist area. Mozdir’s handgun was recovered at the scene, Police Commissioner William Bratton said.

BEIJING — A Christian evangelist in eastern China says hundreds of police have taken down a local church’s cross amid a crackdown on church buildings around Zhejiang province.

Qu Linuo said police arrived early Monday at the Longgang Huai En Church in the city of Wenzhou where they used a crane to remove the cross. Qu said authorities told the church the cross violated building height limits.

In another sign of the authorities’ efforts to contain one of China’s fastest-growing religions, a government demolition campaign against public symbols of the Christian faith has toppled crosses at two more churches in the coastal province of Zhejiang, according to residents there.

BERLIN — In the United States, the immigration debate is toxic and paralyzed. Political parties raging against foreigners are surging at the polls in Britain and France. But in Germany, the government is rolling out a red carpet by simplifying immigration procedures, funding free language classes, even opening ” welcome centers” for newcomers looking to carve out a piece of the German dream.

In the rankings of the globe’s most prosperous countries, this economic powerhouse of 82 million has now leapfrogged Canada, Britain, Italy and Spain to become the largest destination for immigrants after the United States, according to the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. Because of a morbidly low birthrate, the population here is shrinking, raising the pivotal question of who will keep the massive German economy humming in the years ahead. Yet even as insular nations facing similar plights, such as Japan, continue to resist importing workers, Germany is counting on immigrants.

Germany has gone through waves of immigration before, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s when great numbers of Turkish guest workers helped provide the backbone of its Cold War-era economy. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, ethnic Germans poured back into the country, mostly from points east.

But the latest upsurge is largely based on Germany’s reemergence in recent years as Europe’s undisputed economic leader, a beacon of light on a continent still suffering from the aftermath of a brutal debt crisis. In the 28-nation European Union, free movement of labor means nationals can easily relocate from one country to the next. And with unemployment at 25.1 percent in Spain, 26.6 percent in Greece, and 12.6 percent in Italy, Germany — with an economy built on industrial giants such as Siemens and an army of innovative small and midsize companies — has never looked so good.

But Germany also is looking beyond Europe for prospective workers, with German factories courting Indian engineers and German universities competing for Chinese students. In 2012, Germany simplified the process for immigrants from outside the E.U. In 2013, Germany introduced a “Blue Card” system, effectively granting entry to anyone with a university degree and a job offer with a minimum salary of $50,000 to $64,000 a year, depending on the field. As a result, the average immigrant moving to Germany is better educated and more skilled than the average German.

To a far smaller degree, Germany also is reaching out to the jobless. In 2013, the government launched a special program aimed at young, unemployed Europeans ages 18 to 35, covering their travel, language courses and living costs while offering them vocational training in Germany.

Interest in the $609 million program proved so overwhelming, however, that the German government had to cease taking new applicants in April.

The number of immigrants is expected to taper off as other European countries begin to recover. Yet the sheer size of the recent wave — about 400,000 immigrants arrived in 2012, up 38 percent compared with the previous year — already is testing the limits of Germany’s welcome mat. But anti-immigrant and far-right parties have gained nowhere near as much traction in Germany as they have in countries elsewhere in Europe.

Whether they like it or not, “Germans know they need immigrants,” said Reiner Klingholz, managing director of the Berlin Institute for Population and Development.

Yet as other recent arrivals from southern Europe can attest, transitions even to foreigner-friendly German cities such as Berlin and Frankfurt can be tough. It is one reason why experts say a relatively large number of immigrants who move here eventually go home.

Germany sees immigration as an economic opportunity

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — After dawdling between small gains and losses in a slow day of summer trading, the stock market ended little changed on Monday.

Instead of worrying about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine or trouble in the world’s other hot spots, investors appeared to sit tight.

The main reason, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, a wealth management firm, is that the news that’s most likely to move the market comes out later in the week.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve wraps up a two-day meeting then issues a statement that investors will study for any hints about the Fed’s next interest-rate move.

On Friday, the government releases its closely watched monthly jobs report.

A scattering of merger announcements drove some trading on Monday. Family Dollar rose the most in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index — with a 25 percent gain — after Dollar Tree announced plans to buy the rival discount store for roughly $8.5 billion. Family Dollar’s stock surged $15.08 to $75.74.

In U.S. government bonds, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note inched up to 2.48 percent from 2.47 percent late Friday. Bond yields rise when prices fall.

Of that total, $12 billion is new, emergency spending and $5 billion will come from spending cuts across the VA system. Most of the money, $10 billion, will be set aside to help pay for medical care provided to veterans outside the VA system.

As Congress prepares to approve changes at the VA, attention will shift to other topics.

First, federal funding for major road construction projects is considered another “must pass” issue as Americans continue hitting the road for summer vacations.

The House has approved a measure extending funding for nine months, and leadership aides said Monday that the Senate is expected to approve the measure by Thursday. First, senators will vote on at least four amendments — including some that would shorten the length of the deal in order to force debate on a longer-term deal before the end of the calendar year.

But the amendments are expected to fail to earn the 60 votes needed to amend the bill, according to the aides, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the Senate’s plans.

Then there’s the crisis of child immigration at the border.

With a historic number of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico line, the House and Senate are expected to debate competing mea-

Moscow not pleased but has no plans to respond in kind

The Europeans plan to impose similar capital-market restrictions on Russian stateowned banks as well as an embargo on future sales of arms and to restrict the sale of equipment that can be used for both civilian and military purposes, according to officials briefed on the discussions. They are also considering limits on technology sales to Russia’s oil industry.

U.S. officials were heartened by the agreement, saying it would frustrate President Vladimir V. Putin’s efforts to drive a wedge between the United States and its allies. The key to the agreement, they said, was Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, who dropped her past reluctance and pressed for more assertive moves, which forced the French to go along, and that then forced the Italians to give in.

The new actions come as Russia’s economy is under enormous pressure exacerbated by the Ukraine crisis, with growth effectively stifled, capital fleeing the country, the ruble stressed and foreign investors increasingly shying away. Whether that will change Putin’s calculus, however, remained uncertain.

Some U.S. officials privately worried that the escalation, along with Ukraine’s military success on the ground, might push Putin into a corner in a way that made him less willing to back down.

Fighting in Ukraine prompts residents to flee

Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival

SHAKHTARSK, Ukraine — Panicky residents in an eastern Ukrainian town fled their homes Monday carrying a few possessions in plastic bags and small suitcases as shells exploded in the distance, fighting that also prevented an international police team from reaching the site of the Malaysia Airlines crash.

“Mom, hang in there,” exclaimed a weeping woman who was fleeing Shakhtarsk with her mother. Associated Press reporters saw a high-rise apartment block in the town being hit by at least two rounds of artillery.

The fighting there and elsewhere in the area kept Dutch and Australian police for the second day from reaching the site of the plane crash, where they had planned to begin searching for remaining bodies and gathering forensic evidence.

The delay strained tempers among international observers.

“There is a job to be done,” said Alexander Hug, the deputy head of a monitoring team from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

“We are sick and tired of being interrupted by gunfights.”

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said that at least 1,129 people have been killed between mid-April, when fighting began, and July 26.

The report said at least 3,442 people had been wounded and more than 100,000 people had left their homes.

PROTECTING YOUR INCOME IS YOUR PRIORITY

Germany’s economic vulnerability may be broader than that of other European nations, reflecting its substantial commerce with Russia and its longstanding position as a bridge between Eastern and Western Europe.

Recent surveys show that optimism among German businesses is sagging because of concern about Ukraine, and economists have begun predicting that the economy could stagnate or even shrink.

In Moscow, Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said that while Moscow did not welcome the measures, it had no plans to respond in kind.

“We do not want to act tit for tat,” he said, adding that he was sure Russia could overcome any difficulties caused by sanctions. “Maybe,” he said, “we will be even more independent and more confident in our own course.”

sures this week that would provide some, but not all of the $3.7 billion in funding that Obama requested.

The House plan is expected to cost about $1 billion and would come with strings attached — changes to a 2008 anti-trafficking law that would require the Obama administration to more quickly process and deport most of the younger Central American immigrants as quickly as Mexicans are sent home.

In the Senate, Democrats are expected to try approving about $2.5 billion in emergency funding with no changes in current immigration policy.

Before the House adjourns, Republicans also plan to call a vote on a measure authorizing a lawsuit against Obama for his use of executive actions to tweak elements of the Affordable Care Act. Authorizing the lawsuit is expected to be the last official action of outgoing Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., who is vacating his leadership post Friday but plans to serve out the remainder of his term after losing his party’s primary last month.

U.S. forces hope to deal a few final blows against the Taliban

By Ernesto Londono The Washington Post

Israeli forces’ flares light up the night sky above Gaza City early Tuesday. A truce between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza remained elusive as diplomats sought to end the fighting at the start of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. KHALIL HAMRA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Conflict: Casualties continue to rise Continued from Page A-1 said the gunmen had intended to attack civilians in a nearby Israeli border community. One militant was killed in the clash.

There were reports of more Israeli casualties but the military did not provide details.

“We will not complete the operation without neutralizing the tunnels,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said in a televised address. “This is the clear and unequivocal objective of the state of Israel and the need for it has been apparent again today.”

Netanyahu did not announce any immediate change in the stated goals of the operation, which have been defined as severely damaging Hamas’ rocket and tunnel infrastructure, but all the indications were that the fighting would intensify.

By Monday evening the Israeli military said it had warned Palestinian civilians in several areas of the eastern and northern Gaza Strip to evacuate their homes “immediately,” through phone calls and text messages, and it stepped up airstrikes and shelling in the north and south of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 23 Palestinians overnight, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

A fifth Israeli soldier was killed in combat in southern Gaza and Hamas fired rockets deep into Israel.

At around midnight flares lit up Gaza City, and early Tuesday morning Israeli warplanes attacked the house of Ismail Haniya, the deputy chief of the Hamas movement, in the Shati refugee camp on the western edge of the city, according to witnesses and the Hamas news media.

Moshe Yaalon, the Israeli defense minister, spoke of a campaign that could last “more long days.”

“If the terrorist organizations in Gaza think they can break Israel and its citizens,” Yaalon said, “they will come to understand in the next few days that this is not the case.”

International pressure for a cease-fire has grown with alarm over the soaring casualty figures, mostly in Gaza. More than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed, the majority civilians, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. At least 48 Israeli soldiers and three civilians on the Israeli side have been killed.

The secretary-general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, joined the Security Council in calling for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire, telling reporters in New York, “Gaza is in a critical condition. Israeli missiles have pummeled Gaza. Hamas rockets have randomly struck Israel.”

Netanyahu criticized the Security Council’s statement earlier Monday, saying that it “related to the needs of a murderous terrorist organization that attacks Israeli citizens,” referring to Hamas, “and does not address the security needs of Israel.”

Netanyahu reiterated his demand that the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip “must be part of any solution.”

In Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry, who spent much of last week in a frustrated effort to achieve even a temporary halt to the fighting, said, “We also believe that any process to resolve the crisis in Gaza in a lasting and

Family and friends mourn Monday at the gravesite of Cpt. Liad Lavi during his funeral in the military cemetery section in the village of Meitar, Israel. Lavi, 22, was injured during fighting in Gaza and died from his wounds two day later. ARIEL SCHALIT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

meaningful way must lead to the disarmament of Hamas and all terrorist groups.”

He also clearly referenced the Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire and a role for the Palestinian Authority after his effort fell short and was harshly criticized by Israelis and the West Bank-based Palestinian leadership. Obama administration officials said Monday that the criticism of Kerry was unwarranted.

The day began with a fragile, unsigned calm meant to usher in Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that ends the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said the army had “toned down its activities” and was only “combating tunnels on the one hand and responding to Hamas aggression on the other.”

After three weeks of hostilities broken only by a couple of brief humanitarian pauses, Eid al-Fitr was supposed to offer respite to both sides and stirred hopes that the hiatus could create the basis for a more formal cease-fire.

People came out onto the streets in Gaza City and displaced families filled the Unknown Soldiers Park.

But the respite’s short duration was foreshadowed early in the day when several rockets and mortars were fired into Israel, and the Israeli military responded with an airstrike and artillery fire, killing a Palestinian man and a 4-year-old boy, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza.

The back-and-forth volleying extended into the afternoon, then disaster struck.

Munther al-Dirby, 25, said he was sitting on a sidewalk in Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp watching

children play when two missiles crashed down.

“I grabbed my son and when I looked up, everyone was scattered in the street,” he said.

Two small craters punctured the asphalt. Shrapnel had shattered the windows of cars and sprayed holes in nearby walls. As ambulances brought the dead one-by-one from the hospital back to the neighborhood, young men held the bodies aloft on stretchers and crowds followed them to the cemetery, chanting, “God is Great!” and “Children are the beloved of God.” At around the same time another explosion collapsed part of a wall surrounding a building belonging to Shifa Hospital. The blast left a 2-foot-deep crater but caused no injuries. The building was marked as an outpatient department but it was clear that it was unused, with missing windows and closed gate.

The Interior Ministry in Gaza said that Israel’s assertion that Palestinian rockets were responsible for the strikes at Shifa and the Shati camp was “a failed attempt to escape from its responsibility for these crimes” and said the bomb squad had “seized remains and ordnance of Israeli shells that landed in these places.”

The Israeli military said its radars and sensors had detected the paths of four “terrorist rockets” fired at that time and distributed an aerial photograph tracing their routes.

Besides the two that landed at Shifa and Shati, the military said, one fell into the sea and the other was intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome antimissile defense system en route to the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon.

SHINKAI, Afghanistan — It was a homecoming of sorts for Lt. Col. Paul Larson, returning to this remote corner of southern Afghanistan at the twilight of America’s longest war. He was back to take stock of a slice of the battlefield that seemed brimming with possibility when he last led soldiers here a decade ago.

In 2005, Larson was zealous about counterinsurgency, convinced that irrigation projects, agrarian reform initiatives and new schools would plant the seeds of peace, rendering this impoverished, barren area inhospitable to an insurgency that appeared on the brink of defeat.

As he flew to his former outpost late last month, commanding the last U.S. battalion conducting full-spectrum combat operations in Afghanistan, Larson’s mission was narrower, less ambitious and without altruistic impulses.

“It’s a pleasure to be here to help you finish off the last little pockets of Taliban,” the American officer told Col. Gada Mohammed Dost, the Afghan commander who for the past two years has muddled through in this contested sector of southeastern Afghanistan with virtually no American help.

The 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers under Larson’s command have been tasked with dropping into contested areas to examine how Afghan troops are faring as U.S. forces have thinned out and to deal a few final blows to militant groups that have withstood nearly 13 years of American firepower.

The mission has given them a rich vantage point on the state of a war the United States will largely disengage from by year’s end — and the soldiers here have divergent outlooks about the odds that this nation stymied by a rocky political transition, a stubborn insurgency and an anemic economy will somehow stabilize.

As the conflict’s final lethal act, Larson’s men hope to tilt the scales, even if just slightly.

Civilians have been killed and maimed at a growing rate this year as insurgents have sought to make inroads in populated areas where foreign troops have left, according to figures compiled by the U.N. mission in Kabul.

The lion’s share of the fighting is being done by Afghan forces, who have struggled to hold key terrain in recent weeks in southwestern Helmand province as well as a few key districts and roads. Larson’s men have seen relatively little fighting on this deployment, which leads some to believe that Taliban factions are less inclined to fight the Americans.

“If I was an insurgent, I would wait until the Americans left and try my luck with the ANSF,” said Capt. Michael Wallace, 29, who is on his third Afghan deployment.

“When we’re with them, they can make us have bad days, but they’re never going to win.”

Just how strong the Taliban remains is somewhat of a mystery. Senior American commanders say the group, like much in this country, finds itself at a crossroads.

Some of its international funding sources have dried up as jihadist movements in Syria and Iraq have shown more promise to those who underwrite Sunni insurgencies, U.S. military intelligence officials say.

After the Taliban failed to make good on its threat to foil this spring’s presidential election through violence, several leaders were ousted or sidelined, most significantly Abdul Qayam Zakir, who had been the group’s military commander in Afghanistan. Divisions among hard-line factions and those interested in joining the political process in Kabul have sharpened, U.S. military officials say.

“These rifts have tactical implications,” said Capt. Rick McCuan, 31, the battalion’s intelligence officer. “A fighter on the ground knows he has been loyal to a certain individual in a position of authority, and now there is confusion about whose guidance they should be following.”

The group is militarily weaker than it has been in several years due to the headway Afghan forces have made in securing urban areas and major transportation routes, Lt. Gen. Joseph Anderson, the war’s tactical commander, said in an interview. But they remain a potent threat in the south, as displayed by the intense fighting this summer in Helmand, where numbers of U.S. troops have been reduced most dramatically.

“It was a big deal, because it showed that if they want to do something, they still have the capability,” Anderson said of the Taliban assault there. “The question becomes who has the greater capability to beat who.”

Returning to his old base, Larson said he was struck by the professionalism and discipline of the Afghan soldiers there. “What we have seen is that the Afghan security forces are holding their ground,” he said.

As the American team sought to make the most of its short stay in Zabul province, Larson leaned on the Afghans for actionable intelligence on senior insurgents.

“Attention in the TOC!” Maj. William Canda bellowed, silencing the couple of dozen soldiers crammed into the makeshift tactical operations center they

established within one of the few concrete buildings of a former American site called Forward Operating Base Sweeney.

A platoon from the battalion had just gotten into a firefight with a band of suspected Taliban fighters during their first patrol in Zabul. Canda, the battalion’s operations officer, was working the phones and hammering away on his dusty laptop looking for intelligence and options.

Surveillance drones transmitted grainy, live black-and-white video of the platoon’s position, along with footage of suspected militants nearby. Signals intelligence analysts relayed intercepted communications from the militants.

“They just did another call-up,” one analyst said. “They reported that they saw infidels along the wall.”

There was palpable excitement in the room when radio intercepts confirmed that the Taliban commander leading the fight was a fairly senior fighter on the Americans’ target list. Known only by his alias, this was a man the Americans very much wanted to kill.

“Strike him,” Canda said, as his team worked to ensure that an airstrike on the man complied with rules that require a finding of “hostile intent” and assurances that bystanders wouldn’t be hurt. “Smite him.”

The suspected Taliban leader was spared because he was traveling with two other men who didn’t meet the hostileintent criteria.

A similar frantic effort began the following day when the infantrymen at Sweeney spotted a man traveling on a motorcycle carrying a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

The soldiers spent hours monitoring his movements on the screen. They called Afghan officials in the area to rule out that he could have been a policemen. In the end, they again refrained from ordering a hit.

“He lives to ride his motorcycle another day,” Canda said with some resignation.

Without drones and increasingly infrequent American air support, the experience of the Afghan soldiers under the command of Dost, the Afghan colonel Larson’s men came to help, offers an instructive window into what happens to contested areas once the Americans leave.

A couple of years ago, the Afghan officer said, Taliban fighters in the area threatened to take over his base.

“When the Americans left, the Taliban fought us very strongly,” Dost said, sitting cross-legged on the floor of his modest bedroom on the post.

His men fought exceptionally hard, Dost said, and he also made peace with some former Taliban members or supporters who live close to the base, which has kept the immediate vicinity relatively safe.

Over time, the Taliban changed strategy.

Instead of fighting for control of urban areas or trying to overrun the base, the group focused on maintaining access to smuggling routes used to ferry fighters, bombs and weapons from Pakistan. To keep Afghan soldiers at bay, Dost said, the Taliban has heavily mined areas around Afghan army bases and the routes their trucks must use to travel, leaving them largely constrained.

“The big problem has become IEDs,” he said, referring to improvised explosive devices. Lacking the sophisticated equipment the U.S. military uses to spot and defuse roadside bombs, Dost’s men must rely on eyesight and instinct to find them and bullets to blow them up “If I’m going from one district to another, I find 50 or 55 IEDs along the route,” Dost added.

Of the smuggling routes Dost’s men are unable to shut down, a corridor in the Dawazagai Pass near the Pakistani border remains a major concern to U.S. military officials. Larson dispatched 100 paratroopers aboard Chinook helicopters there on a recent morning hoping to shut it down — if only for a few days.

Walking silently in single file, the American infantrymen were near the peak of a winding mountain stretch when the first ominous sighting of the day brought the formation to a halt. An Afghan soldier thought he had spotted a white cloth fluttering from a hilltop as the first hints of daylight revealed the valley’s stunning lunar landscape. “The ANA say they see a Taliban flag,” one of the Americans said.

The flag sighting turned out to be a mirage. As morning gave way to a smoldering afternoon, the soldiers perched on the peak of a range overlooking two tiny villages but found few signs of enemy activity — except, possibly, for three men who sped away in motorcycles.

“They’re waiting us out,” Sgt. Adam Letnom, 28, said as he looked down the valley, where a lone shepherd was tending goats.

“They know we’re leaving, and they’ll start back up. Since there’s been so much focus on the pullout, it’s probably just smarter to wait.”

Sitting nearby, Staff Sgt. Kenneth Ventrice, 34, who served three tours in Iraq and is on his second Afghan deployment, said he had come to terms with the prospect that the Afghan war will be lost.

“It’s going to fall a lot faster than Iraq did,” Ventrice said. “Nobody fights like the Taliban.”

where nearly $1 million would be spent on projects if the city scraps the north-side underpass at St. Francis Drive. More than half of the reallocated funding would be spent on the city’s south and southwest sides, and other councilors who voted Monday in favor of sending the proposal to the full council represent districts in those areas.

“I’m in full support,” said City Councilor Bill Dimas, who represents south-central District 4, which was the only district where a plurality of voters rejected the idea of a property tax levy to support the parks and trails bonds in 2012.

The city Finance Committee earlier had recommended against the proposed reallocation of bond funds, which is on the agenda for Wednesday’s council meeting. However, no public hearing would be held on the issue at that meeting unless the item is removed from the council’s “consent agenda.”

Bushee initially said all of the proposed replacement projects are “shovel ready.” But, after the city’s director of roadways and trails said only one of those projects is ready to go, Bushee said she misspoke.

Retiree: Agency’s board has plan to shore up long-term finances Continued from Page A-1 retiree health care program — roughly $15.39 biweekly. That would increase $5.76 for each two-week pay period if the proposed increases are fully implemented.

The higher payments would be required for employees of state agencies, school districts, many colleges and universities, most counties and the largest cities.

Separate from the legislation, the authority’s governing board has approved measures to shore up the long-term finances of the program.

Those steps include an 8 per-

cent increase in premiums for health care plans starting next year and a 5 percent premium increase for Medicare supplement insurance coverage.

The board proposes to change regulations to require starting in 2020 that a newly retired worker be at least age 55 to qualify for any subsidies for health insurance they obtain through the program. There currently is no minimum age requirement.

Subsidies vary according to how long an employee worked for the government.

Another board proposal will require a retiree to have

worked 25 years — up from 20 years — before qualifying for the maximum subsidy in which the program covers 65 percent of insurance premiums. That change wouldn’t apply to public safety retirees, such as police and firefighters.

Qualifying retirees currently pay about $272 a monthly for the program’s most comprehensive coverage — about 35 percent of the total cost of the insurance.

The board plans to trim subsidies for a retiree’s spouse. That would require the family member to pay 62 percent of the total insurance premium rather than 60 percent currently.

Social Security’s disability program could be shored up in the short run by shifting tax revenue from the much larger retirement program, as Congress has done in the past. However, that would slightly worsen the retirement program’s longterm finances.

Soak: Flows surpass records Continued from Page A-1 The threat of flooding from thunderstorms over the Diego, Jaroso and Tres Lagunas burn scars in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and areas affected by the Las Conchas and Thompson Ridge fires in the Jemez Mountains, is listed as high from Monday through Thursday. A high-risk rating means there is more than a 60 percent chance of flooding.

The Assayii Lake, Little Bear and Whitewater Baldy burn scars in other parts of the state are also listed as high-risk areas through Tuesday.

A rainstorm pounded much of the central and northeastern part of the state Sunday afternoon.

The Santa Fe Municipal Airport was inundated with 1.14 inches of rain between Sunday evening and early Monday morning.

The rain has saturated soils and with more slow moving thunderstorms expected through Monday evening, there is an increased risk of flash floods.

Monday afternoon, the Canadian River at the Taylor Springs gauge dwarfed its previous record water flow discharge

rate of 782 cubic feet per second set in 1958. The river at 7 p.m.

Monday had risen to more than 8.5 feet deep and was roaring at 3,030 cubic feet per second, according to data tracked by the U.S. Geological Survey. The long term average, by comparison, is 92 cubic feet per second.

The river set another record at the Sanchez gauge, flowing at 2,960 cubic feet per second Monday afternoon, nearly twice its last record flow set in 1982, according to the USGS stream-

flow gauge information. The average flow is 197 cubic feet per second.

LOCAL NEWS Ex-police chief calls rehiring of officer an ‘error’ Lieutenant quit amid allegations of cheating on time card

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Retired former Santa Fe police Chief Ray Rael says he doesn’t want to second-guess his replacement, Eric Garcia.

But when it comes to Garcia’s decision to rehire a police lieutenant who

was allegedly caught cheating on his time card, Rael said Garcia made a mistake.

“I personally would not have rehired the individual given the information that I had,” Rael said, referring to Jason Wagner, who is back on the force at his previous rank and pay. “It’s an error in judgment from my perspective,” Rael said.

Garcia said Monday that Wagner “has hit the ground running and has done a great job” since he returned to work. “I appreciate Mr. Rael’s thoughts.

However, I wish him well in his retire-

Jury hears recordings of police interview Woman tells investigators she wasn’t involved in uncle’s killing

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

An Española woman accused of masterminding the murder of her 64-year-old uncle nearly two years ago insisted to investigators that she wasn’t involved in the slaying of “her family,” according to an audio recording of a jail interview.

In the fourth day of what prosecutors call a murder-for-hire trial, jurors on Monday heard Rhiannon Montoya, 36, being interviewed by Rio Arriba County Undersheriff Vince Crespin and Sgt. Abraham

Baca shortly after her uncle, Rudy Montoya, was found stabbed and beaten at his Chimayó-area home in October 2012.

Prosecutors have said Montoya manipulated two other women — Angel Baldonado, 24, and Sheanne Martinez, 20 — exploiting their drug addictions by promising them money if they killed her uncle so Rhiannon Montoya could get a larger share of her grandfather’s inheritance.

Baldonado of Ohkay Owingeh and Martinez of Chimayó pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in February and are expected to testify during in the trial this week.

Montoya’s attorneys have said that Baldonado and Martinez had concocted the story about the

ment,” Garcia said in an email.

Wagner quit in January after Rael secretly ordered the placement of a GPS tracking device on Wagner’s patrol car last year that allegedly showed lieutenant in other locations when he was supposed to be at work.

“The reason we placed a GPS tracking unit on his vehicle was complaints from several police officers, primarily ones he worked with, that he was disappearing, if you will,” Rael said. “He was not available for duty. He was leaving early, arriving late. The complaints were from credible sources.”

The GPS logs showed that Wagner was “either coming in late or taking off very early,” Rael said. The logs also showed that Wagner was at restaurants or a gym in Rio Rancho when he was supposed to be at work, Rael said.

“In my mind, it amounted to a supervisor, who I believe should be held to a higher standard, lying and cheating on his official time card,” Rael said.

Rael said he asked Wagner for an explanation. “There was no satisfactory explanation forthcoming,” Rael said. “I told him that I was going to proceed with corrective action, which

A former employee of GameStop is alleging that he was subjected to racial slurs by other employees of the national video game store company in Santa Fe and that his hours were cut to encourage him to quit his job.

GameStop denies the claims and says that it has a zero-tolerance policy for racism. At a hearing Monday before the state Human Rights Commission, attorney Tom Clark said that Elmore, 34, who is black, “was singled out because of his race.”

GameStop is a national video game store that sells new and used video games and video game hardware. In Santa Fe, the company has one location at 3777 Cerrillos Road and another in the College Plaza

Garcia, who became Santa Fe’s police chief last month after holding a similar position in Española, has said Wagner is a sharp officer with fantastic ideas and that Rael should have implemented progressive discipline — administering discipline at a graduated rate — though termination can be warranted if an action is considered severe.

Wagner said termination was a cer-

shopping center at 2010 Cerrillos Road.

The company’s Dallas-based attorney Eva Turner said that reports of racial slurs originated from second-hand sources and that Elmore never heard them himself.

Had they been true, she said, the company would have disciplined the offenders. Elmore was working as an assistant manager of one of the company’s Santa Fe stores in August 2012 when he reported that he smelled a methane leak.

A company manager ordered him to open the store anyway, but he refused. Clark said that Elmore was then transferred to the other store and it was there that the racial discrimination began.

According to Clark, an employee at the previous store told Elmore

according to Weaver.

Gutierrez declined to comment on any connection between the call from Taos and the evacuation of the Capitol.

A spokesman for Gov. Susana Martinez said the governor’s office had received a series of calls from someone threatening suicide. Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell said the evacuation was ordered after an initial investigation by law enforcement found the threat to be credible. Knell said the governor wasn’t in the building at the time.

The evacuation forced cancellation of the Legislature’s Investments and Pensions Oversight Committee meeting, which already had begun its meeting to discuss a proposal for shoring up the public employees retirement health care plan.

The Legislative Council Service issued a statement Monday evening that said the Capitol will reopen on Tuesday.

primary, they are being used to pay off part of his primary election campaign debt. King has loaned his campaign hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If Duran’s interpretation of the law is “taken literally,” King said, then “no contributions received by any candidate prior to June 4, 2014 could be expended for general election purposes … This interpretation would, for example, prevent Gov. [Susana] Martinez from spending the millions of dollars she received prior to June 4, 2014 in the general election cycle.”

Duran rejected his argument. “The loophole you are suggesting would allow a candidate to loan himself or herself unlimited funds, then take excessive contributions and apply them to repayment of that unlimited debt,” she wrote. “ … This type of monetary shell game would defeat both the letter of the statute as well as its intent to limit contributions and place all candidates on an equal footing.”

King’s letter, dated July 18, also is combative.

Section editor: Howard Houghton, 986-3015, hhoughton@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Rachel Valerio, rvalerio@sfnewmexican.com

“I also want to express my serious concern that the process by which your office reached the conclusion that my committee violated the act and disseminated the allegations included in your letter significantly violate the ethical responsibilities of your position.”

King said he was informed of Duran’s conclusion that the contributions exceeded the limit by two reporters (including one from The New Mexican) before he received her office’s letter informing him of that decision. He also said an editorial by The Albuquerque Journal about the issue indicates she corresponded with that paper days before he got her letter.

“This confirms that the purpose of your claim was solely to cause embarrassment to my campaign and me personally,” King wrote. “I am disappointed and disturbed that you would pervert the authority of your office in this way to inappropriately attempt to influence the outcome of the upcoming election.”

King said he’ll make a public records

request for communications between the Secretary of State’s Office and reporters in this matter.

Duran, in her letter denied any wrongdoing, said her office only answered questions from reporters. King said that other campaigns, “including those of your own political party,” had used campaign contributions to defray debt.

Duran responded that this “raises a very serious question with regard to your own role as attorney general.”

She said King appears “to be implying that other candidates or committees have in some way violated the Campaign Reporting Act.” If that’s the case, Duran said, “then you, as the attorney general, have a responsibility to either report the violations by providing specifics to my office or ensure that these violations are investigated by your office.”

It’s not clear what will happen if the King campaign still refuses to give the disputed $10,900 to the public election fund by the Aug. 4 deadline.

Trial: Montoya demands ‘justice’ for uncle Continued from Page A-6 murder plot after the fact.

Last week, the jury heard an audio recording of Martinez being interviewed by investigators. In that interview, Martinez initially told the officers that she had acted alone, but later changed her story, telling police that Baldonado was with her and had struck the victim with a bat.

She also said that Rhiannon Montoya had dropped them off at Rudy Montoya’s house.

Jose Montoya, Rhiannon Montoya’s grandfather and Rudy Montoya’s father, lived with the victim but slept through the killing, investigators have said.

In the recording played Monday, Rhiannon Montoya told investigators that she wasn’t with Baldonado and Martinez

Race: Hours not reduced Continued from Page A-6 that his new manager was referring to him in derogatory terms.

Clark also charged that GameStop management cut Elmore’s hours without giving him a reason.

In December of the same year, Elmore experienced an unspecified medical episode that landed him in the emergency room. Clark said that when Elmore presented a doctor’s note to his employer, the manager ripped the note out of his hands and in front of customers accused him of faking his illness. Shortly after that, Elmore took medical leave, Clark said. He no longer works for the company. Turner told the commission that the company’s investigation did not substantiate the allegation of racial discrimination.

While she claimed he was “not an easy employee to manage,” Turner said the company’s evidence would show that his hours were not reduced and that no one tried to oust him.

Turner also said the company also attempted to reach out to Elmore following his medical leave, and offered him administrative leave, but that he “never responded to any of those letters.” The hearing started Monday and is scheduled to continue through Tuesday. It could be months before a ruling is issued by the Human Rights Division.

Officer: ‘Done with deal’ Continued from Page A-6 tainty based on a conversation with his captain. “That’s what it came down through the chain of command as,” Wagner said.

Wagner denies lying on his time card. He has said that he was using “flex time” or working from home on confidential investigations involving other police officers because he shared an office with others at police headquarters. There were also times that he spent an hour at lunch instead of the allotted 30 minutes because he was discussing work-related matters with another officer.

Rael said Wagner’s supervisors hadn’t given him “any permission whatsoever for any of these absences from work,” which Wagner denies. Wagner says his supervisor knew he was working on his off time, which allowed him to use “flex time” because lieutenants don’t get overtime.

But Wagner said he’s ready to “ready to lay it to rest.”

“I’m pretty much done with this whole deal,” Wagner said.

“It would be one of those things that’s going to go back and forth. I’m going to have my side and my version and what I believe is the case, and they’re going to have theirs, obviously.

I don’t think we’re ever going to see eye to eye on it. It is what it is.”

at the time of the killing. “I was with my children … that night,” she said But Crespin testified that before Montoya was Rhiannon interviewed he Montoya inadvertently left an affidavit that detailed the murder investigation attached to the arrest warrant that was served on the woman in jail.

Montoya had been booked into the Santa Fe County jail for a separate matter after her uncle was killed. She had been the subject of an arrest warrant for failure to appear in court in a separate case.

One of the investigators asked the woman if she “hates her uncle.” Montoya responded

that she “loves him.” She also stated that her uncle always helped her and her children with money.

A couple minutes after Montoya said she loved her uncle, she told the interviewers that she had asked the two women what they had done on that night they showed up at her house after the killing. One of the women responded, “The less you know the better,” Montoya told the investigators.

But Montoya’s statements did not sway the investigators; Baca told Montoya they believed Baldonado and Martinez’s statements over Montoya’s account.

Still, Montoya insisted she wasn’t involved in the slaying.

“If that [expletive ] killed my uncle, I promise you, Abraham, I’m going to take care of her,” she told Sgt. Baca during the jail interview. “Whoever did this

needs to be brought to justice.”

The prosecution has said Montoya had been upset that she would get less of her nowdeceased grandfather’s estate compared to her uncles Rudy Montoya and Benito Eugene Montoya.

Prosecutors allege that she hired Baldonado and Martinez to kill Rudy Montoya to get a bigger inheritance.

On Monday, Timothy Vidal, a lawyer who amended the grandfather’s will before he passed away, said in court that Rhiannon Montoya would not benefit from Rudy Montoya’s death. Vidal also said he wasn’t sure if the amended will was explained to Rhiannon Montoya.

Western coal plant on track to close Navajo Nation will see less revenue as rule takes effect

THEODORE C. WILLIAMS

By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The largest coal-fired power plant in the West will produce onethird less energy by 2020 and is on track to cease operations in 2044 under a proposal that the federal government adopted to cut haze-causing emissions of nitrogen oxide at places like the Grand Canyon.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday that the owners of the Navajo Generating Station could either shut down one of the plant’s 750-megawatt units or reduce power generation by an equal amount by 2020. The owners would have until 2030 to install pollution controls that would cut nitrogen-oxide emissions by 80 percent.

EPA regional administrator Jared Blumenfeld in San Francisco said a final decision didn’t come easily and required flexibility. Along with meeting energy demands in the West, the 2,250-megawatt plant powers a series of canals that deliver water to Phoenix and Tucson, fuels the economies of the Navajo and Hopi Tribes, and helps fulfill American Indian water-rights settlements with the federal government.

“This is so complex and integrated into the fabric of Arizona,” Blumenfeld said.

The final rule comes five years after the EPA gave notice that it was considering pollution controls for the plant. The agency later released a proposal that would have required the upgrades by 2023.

Project and environmental groups said they could do better and came up with their own proposal, which was adopted by the EPA. Reducing power generation by one-third should come easily because the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and NV Energy have announced their intention to cut ties with the coal plant by 2019. Together, they own almost one-third of the plant near Page, run by the Salt River Project, one of Arizona’s largest utility companies. None of the other owners would lose any power generation as a result.

“On the whole, while we’re increasing our costs associated with the plant, the plant itself is still valuable enough to our customers and Arizona for us to continue,” Salt River Project spokesman Scott Harelson said.

proposal had urged the EPA to reject it. They said that the best choice EPA could make was to require the plant’s owners to install selective catalytic reduction — similar to catalytic converters on an automobile — by 2018.

The EPA received about 77,000 comments on the alternative proposal.

The final rule means the Navajo Nation ultimately will see less revenue from coal that feeds the power plant. But the executive director of the tribe’s Environmental Protection Agency, Stephen Etsitty, said it provides a better chance of the power plant continuing operations.

“Of course it’s not perfect,” he said. “It’s an indication that EPA is really open to the recommendations of local stakeholders. To me, that’s a good move in the right direction.”

The state-chartered school has 100 students in grades K-8.

ronmental group Western Resource Advocates said he would have liked to see faster action to improve air quality.

But the group agreed to participate in drafting the alternative proposal because it felt a better outcome would be achieved through negotiation, Michel said.

He’s looking forward to the rule having a positive impact on air quality at the Grand Canyon and other pristine areas in the West.

“You need these kinds of national programs because they can look at this comprehensively, rather than one facility at a time,” he said. “If we do this across the West, it will have a meaningful benefit.”

The EPA’s rule goes into effect 60 days after it’s published in the federal register, which is expected to happen within two to three weeks.

back-to-school needs.

The annual children’s clothing allowance through the Human Services Department will provide $50 per qualifying New Mexico child to buy clothes.

The goal is to help nearly 16,000 children at a cost of about $788,000.

The Children, Youth and Families Department will provide $100 to foster families for each foster child in their care of three years old or above. That funding is to help purchase back-to-school supplies.

The state estimates that more than 1,700 foster children will be returning to school this semester. “Proper clothing and supplies make it easier for students to concentrate and makes it more likely that they will have a successful school year,” the governor said.

THEODORE C. WILLIAMS (Ted or T.C. to his friends and colleagues), age 90, passed away on July 24 at El Castillo retirement community in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he will be missed by many friends. Ted was born and grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He attended Michigan Technological University for one quarter and then enlisted in the United States Army, serving in the 10th Mountain Division in WWII. On returning from service in Europe, he enrolled in Civil Engineering at Michigan State University, following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps. While there he met and married Dora McKibben, whom he credited with getting him through calculus. After graduation he returned to Grand Rapids to work with his father, W.B. Williams, at Williams & Works.

Ted became Chairman and helped to guide that firm to prominence in consulting engineering, urban planning, and surveying. In 1966 he and his family took a year-long working sabbatical to New Zealand, where he assisted the City of Christchurch Drainage Board in establishing an engineering investigations department. Returning to Grand Rapids in 1967, he resumed his leadership of Williams & Works where during his tenure the firm won two national awards for the most significant engineering projects of the year. His first-anywhere plan for using natural wetlands as an integral part of the wastewater treatment process was selected as on of the 10 most important engineering accomplishments in Michigan’s history. After retiring in 1986, he and Dora moved to Santa Fe where the condition of the Santa Fe River caught his attention. Drawing on his lifetime of experience as an environmental engineer he devised a visionary plan to restore water to the dry, weed-filled bed of the Santa Fe River, working with the Old Santa Fe Association to promote his scheme. Ted’s love of skiing led him to the goal of skiing as many days as his age, which he did until 82. He was also an active member of Rotary, the Winter Sports Alliance, Santa Fe Watershed Association and the Chili and Marching Society. Ted is survived by his wife, Dora, of Santa Fe, NM; his sisters, Harriet of Newtown Square, PA, and Janet (Everett Thompson) of Grand Rapids; a son, Steve (Linda) of Grand Rapids; his daughters, Emily (Mark Ewing), of Newton, MA, and Marcy (Greg Ruppel), of Santa Fe, NM. Surviving grandchildren include Perry (Jason) Pursell, Alexander (Alexandra) Williams, Halley Ruppel, Kelsey Ruppel, Hannah Ewing, and Aaron Ewing, and great-grandchildren Nolan and Ara Pursell.

Wing Forward helps ease pain of information management for small businesses

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

D

avid Jondreau built a career for himself by sparing people the headache of trying to run their small business through Microsoft Excel.

His solution is creating custom databases via specialty program FileMaker. In doing so, Jondreau said he can help small businesses looking to take the “next step” by saving them time on inputting and generating sales, employee and inventory data.

“People are using Excel, and it’s driving them nuts,” Jondreau said.

Jondreau’s company, Wing Forward, is made up of three employees, Jondreau, Wendy Skelley and Jondreau’s brotherin-law, Christian Dorko. The trio works out of a central Santa Fe home, where they spend their days at a lengthy wooden table staring at laptop computer screens and occasionally jostling to connect electronics to a power adapter.

When a reporter visited the home last week, three laptop computers, an iPad and a few errant papers sat atop the table. It seemed more home than office, but the benefit and curse of a tech business, Jondreau said, is that he can work anywhere.

Jondreau said FileMaker is more than a glorified Excel program. He said FileMaker can produce more specific reports, such as a list of which customers frequent a business and what they buy. It’s possible to generate such a report via Excel, Jondreau said,

Wing Forward specializes in FileMaker, which Jondreau said can produce more specific reports, such as a list of which customers frequent a business and what they buy.

but it’s challenging and requires a greater time investment.

Filemaker’s user interface features lengthy and daunting lists full of seemingly unrelated items.

To Jondreau, those words represent graphically distinct and crisp rows, tables and categories that the user will use in the final product. Jondreau spends his days navigating the mysteries and mazes of these words and the connections they represent.

“It’s a lot of little puzzle solving.” he said, “and it’s separating what someone says they want and what they need.”

A database, Jondreau said, is

just an electronic representation of a company’s physical attributes. He often finds himself acting as a consultant for businesses both physically and digitally disorganized.

Jondreau came to Santa Fe in 1999 on the trail of his thengirlfriend and future wife. He worked a variety of odd jobs, including as a barista and a cobbler’s assistant, before he started taking film classes at Santa Fe Community College. That education translated to work in the film industry in 2003, but he said he quickly realized that the 14- to 16-hour days for weeks at a time were not for him.

“It was not conducive to a happy life,” Jondreau said.

He found a job at Serious Grippage & Light Company, and it was there that he found his way into database work. His then

boss asked him to create a database to track his inventory, and Jondreau found it to his liking.

Jondreau said the ideal client is usually a smaller “mom and pop” business, as FileMaker can’t handle the workload of hundreds of employees accessing the database simultaneously. The cost of a database ranges from $5,000 on the low end to $30,000 for a more complex creation. Creating a database from scratch, Jondreau’s preferred method of creation, usually takes between four and six weeks. He charges about $100 a hour for maintenance or alteration work.

Wing Forward manages one main client and handles two or three auxiliary clients, Jondreau said. He used to have more customers, but he found himself distracted with small and draining projects rather than the larger databases he preferred. So he raised his prices, effectively culling the client pool, but Jondreau said he still turns down potential clients with regularity.

Jondreau’s major client is an Albuquerque medical marijuana dispensary, and Wing Forward created a database that tracks patient orders and prescriptions, inventory levels, employee information and other data. Its other clients include local laundromat Luna Laundry and the Santa Fe School of Massage.

And while Wing Forward has the potential to grow, Jondreau said he’s happy with Wing Forward’s current size. His main concern, he said, is making a job for himself.

Heritage plans new hotel in Albuquerque The New Mexican

After purchasing Santa Fe’s Eldorado Hotel & Spa, the New Mexico-based Heritage Hotels & Resorts is about to launch it biggest project yet: a new hotel in the heart of Albuquerque’s Old Town.

The 118-room Hotel Old Town is set to break ground in the fall, with completion set for spring 2016. The property will be built adjacent to Hotel Albuquerque and will share Hotel Albuquerque’s pool, ballrooms and chapel, according to Heritage spokeswoman Krysty Ronchetti.

“The hotel will be comprised of five levels with guestrooms designed to extend outdoors onto gracious terraces showcasing majestic views towards the Sandia Mountains and down-

town skyline, or the serene views overlooking the beautiful gardens and pool terrace below. The goal is to create a hotel that captures the legacy of New Mexico’s Native American culture and history in a modern and luxurious way,” the company said in a statement.

Heritage is now an important hotel chain in New Mexico with four properties in Santa Fe and others in Taos, Las Cruces and Albuquerque. In addition to the Eldorado, the company owns Hotel St. Francis, Hotel Chimayó de Santa Fe and The Lodge at Santa Fe. “We’re creating a hotel where guests will experience the true culture of New Mexico in a way that has never been done before,” said Jim Long, CEO of Heritage Hotels & Resorts. “We are blend-

ing ancient building techniques from New Mexico Native Americans with modern amenities and designs.”

According to Heritage, the hotel will be the first New Mexico property planned by renowned global design firm Gensler, which drew inspiration from the Anasazi people and the indigenous ruins of Chaco Canyon. “The design creates an unprecedented architectural aesthetic for New Mexico and the greater Southwest region,” Adam

Gumowski, design director at Gensler, said in the statement.

The interior designer is Kris Lajeskie of Santa Fe. “Not since Fred Harvey has there been a visionary who has taken on with such vigor the creation and promotion of the ‘cultural hotel’ in the Southwest,” said Lajeskie, principal of Kris Lajeskie Design. “From the moment you enter, you will know you are in a very special place.”

anufacturing businesses that want to know how their performance stacks up against industry standards have a new tool to make that measurement — and it’s available at no cost.

The Manufacturing Performance Institute, in conjunction with the American Small Manufacturers Coalition and the New Mexico Manufacturing Extension Partnership, created the Next Generation Manufacturing Assessment Tool after surveying thousands of U.S. manufacturers in 2009, 2011 and 2013.

The biennial survey asks manufacturers what strategic benchmarks they use to measure their efficiency and effectiveness in six critical areas: human resources, supply-chain management, sustainability, process improvement, innovation and global engagement. The tool based on this survey allows manufacturers of all kinds to see how they compare with world-class industry practices and standards by comparing their responses to those of thousands of other top manufacturers.

The overarching goal is to help businesses with strategic planning and to improve the innovation and productivity of companies that build things in America.

In the survey, the six areas identified by the makers of the Next Generation Manufacturing Assessment Tool are broken down further into core objectives and best practices. By seeing how well a company meets these standards, the business owner can identify opportunities and improvements he or she needs to make in: u Customer-focused innovation: Company managers see how well — compared to competitors — they develop, make and market new products and services that meet customer needs. u Superior processes and improvement: This measures how well the business records annual productivity and quality gains over the competition and how committed the organization is to continuous improvement. u Human-capital management: Company managers can see what performance advantage they might enjoy over the competition by evaluating how they recruit, hire, develop and retain talent. u Supply-chain management and collaboration: The business can see how well it develops and manages supply chains and partnerships that provide better flexibility, response time and delivery performance than rivals. u Sustainability: Managers can evaluate whether the company designs and implements waste and energy-use reductions at levels that save the company money and provide tangible customer value. u Global engagement: The business can see whether it has the people, partnerships and systems in place to engage global markets and talents better than the competition can.

To get started, manufacturers can visit www.Next GenMfgTool.com: The tool is available at no cost, and the reports found at this site can be exported in PDF or Excel form.

In brief Area unemployment rate at 5.3% The June employment numbers for Santa Fe County indicate the area lost 600 jobs in the 12-month period ending June 30, 2014. The bright spot in the report was construction, which gained 600 jobs over the year and has now expanded for the past 11 months.

The private-sector losses included the retail sector as well as information and financial services and miscellaneous services. The public sector actually reversed recent declines, adding 100 jobs, most of those in local government.

Santa Fe’s unemployment rate now stands at 5.3 percent.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Pueblo: Gaming overhaul necessary in ‘flat’ market, July 24 One of the main reasons that gaming has flat“ tened in New Mexico is that we have too many casinos.

In the laws of supply and demand, we have a great imbalance. Lowering the age for gambling and other demands of Pojoaque Pueblo won’t change the fact that we have too high a casino per capita ratio.” B.H. Northern New Mexico isn’t some middle-of“ nowhere place out of the ordinary. Santa Fe and Taos share designations as some of the top tourist destinations in the world, leading many on that list. Santa Fe was just rated as the top small city in the world by readers of [Condé Nast Traveler]. In order for New Mexico to continue increasing its growth potential, things must be done to lure whales and tourists alike to our humble valley. Conversely, no one makes anyone gamble or spend money. Many patrons at Buffalo Thunder are not of Chicano or Native American backgrounds — not the many that I know. Each has his or her reason for visiting that gaming establishment and many have frequented it for many years. A level playing field is never a bad thing.” I.C.

LOOKING IN: SOFIA MARTINEZ AND RICHARD MOORE

Chemical disaster possible in N.M.?

I f you could protect thousands of your family, friends and neighbors from a possible toxic chemical disaster, would you do it?

A report recently released to the White House by an interagency working group consisting of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security recognized the real dangers from unsecured chemical plants posed to communities across the country. Unfortunately, the report offered very little to safeguard families from the risk of another chemical facility disaster.

The failure of thousands of chemical facilities, including facilities in New Mexico, to adopt safer chemicals and processes that are available and affordable creates constant danger for the people who live and work in the potential disaster zones.

These dangers are 100 percent preventable: Here in New Mexico, Albuquerque’s Southside Wastewater Reclamation Plant responded to public and government pressure by converting from highly volatile

and toxic chlorine to a safer, ultraviolet disinfection system that protects 160,000 people from a possible disaster. This didn’t happen until the Mountainview and South Valley communities organized to address the risk posed by the wastewater treatment plant.

While solutions can be created when communities, agencies and industries work together, this is at best a short-term fix that leaves a patchwork of danger across even the most engaged communities: Albuquerque still has nine schools located within a mile of other high-risk facilities, according to a new report, “Who’s in Danger? Race, Poverty and Chemical Disasters,” that finds that more than 134 million Americans live in chemical disaster vulnerability zones near 3,433 facilities that use highly hazardous chemicals. The children, elderly and adults in these communities are living, learning, working and playing in a chemical soup.

On top of this threat is the possibility of a toxic cloud of chemicals such as anhydrous ammonia, chlorine, sulfur dioxide or

hydrogen fluoride — each of which can kill within minutes. Even low doses can result in respiratory, neurological and cardiovascular dysfunction.

We have a historic opportunity to prevent these disaster scenarios. As the president and federal agencies evaluate how to prevent chemical facility disasters, communities and workers have been speaking up to tell President Barack Obama that it’s time to make sure we’re safe from the threat of another disaster like the one in West, Texas. How many more workers and community members have to die?

As incidents continue to occur across the country, we are asking President Obama to take urgent action to truly prevent future disasters by requiring high risk facilities to switch to safer alternatives.

Sofia Martinez is the president of Concerned Citizens of Wagon Mound and Mora County.

Richard Moore is the coordinator of Los Jardines Institute (The Gardens Institute) and co-author of “Who’s in Danger? Race, Poverty and Chemical Disasters” report.

The proposed compact is utterly ridiculous. Shows “ [Gov. George] Rivera’s greed and lack of respect not only of our children, but also the state and government in general.” M.B. Pojoaque Cities of Gold and Buffalo Thunder “ have become two of the worst-paying casinos in the region. People are not stupid and have taken notice of such, and practically on any given day of the week, the casinos are nearly empty. Their machines are so tight that people complain that the machines swallow their money within a matter of minutes. They do not offer the casino players sufficient playing time.

No wonder they want to serve liquor and remain open 24 hours a day. They want people to get high so they will be more reckless with their hard-earned money and leave most of it there. Gone are the heydays when Pojoaque Pueblo was reaping millions of dollars a week in casino earnings. People have caught on to its gaming strategy, in which millions of dollars are reaped from those on Social Security benefits, welfare and the working class.” J.M. City plans switch to 4-day workweek for police, July 24 This is from The New Mexican’s story on Chief Ray “ Rael’s possible replacements from May 30: ‘Burglary rates in Santa Fe fell 20 percent under the tenure of former police Chief Ray Rael.’ Sorry, but under Chief Rael and his five-eights schedule, burglary rates dropped.” P.K. There are many factors at play when looking “ at crime rates: police training and methods, crime trends, judicial procedures, sentencing, drug treatment and yes, horror of horrors — even police morale.

To credit the drop in burglary rates solely to five [eight-hour shifts] versus four [10-hour shifts] is overly simplistic. There are plenty of effective police departments across the country working many different schedules, including 12-hour shifts. I suppose you could even argue the logic of 6.6-hour, six-day per week shifts, but that may be somewhat unpopular — especially if it was found to be ‘more productive,’ and started to spill over to the private sector. How many of you would be supportive of that?” P.N. Santa Fe named best small city in America, July 23 Best small city for tourism and nothing else. If you “ think it’s one of the best small cities to actually live as a functioning member of society in, you’re delusional.” A.M. I live in Santa Fe as a functioning member of “ society, and I think this is a great place to live. Best climate of anywhere with four mild seasons, beautiful scenery, night skies and sunsets like nowhere else.

Clear air. Art. Food. Outdoor adventures and recreation. Three hundred days of sunshine per year. Lack of pesky insects (you can sit outside in the evening without a worry of mosquitoes). One of the top farmers markets in the country. Like any town, it does have its pros and cons. For instance, not much nightlife for the younger crowd. And one of the cons is that we seem to have more than our share of chronic complainers, who will find anything to complain about and do so every chance they get. They are easy to ignore, though, for happy people who enjoy life.” W.P.

Land grab would close off hunting access

I

was surprised to learn recently that a provision in the Fiscal Year 2015 Defense Department appropriation would close to the public 303,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management lands that are part of the so-called Northern Extension of the White Sands Missile Range.

These lands are currently open to sportsmen for hunting.

The Northern Extension also includes 445,000 acres of private land and State Trust land. Much of the Northern Extension is open to cattle grazing. Closing access to the BLM lands, which is not restricting access to the private and state lands, nevertheless could potentially close access to some of the current grazing lands, negatively affecting ranchers in the area.

This provision was put in the defense bill by notoriously antigovernment U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop of Utah. He’s a guy who wants the government out of the people’s business but has acted without any public consultation. How ironic.

These lands are clearly in the district of congressman Steve Pearce. It is hard to believe that he didn’t have

something to do with this amendment being inserted in the Defense Department appropriations bill.

What is truly amazing to me is Rep. Pearce is the very one who led the opposition to the larger Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. One of his reasons for opposition was his concern that the monument would negatively impact ranching in Southern New Mexico.

At the same time, Pearce apparently is supporting legislation that clearly would negatively impact ranching in the northern part of his district. This is the height of hypocrisy. It’s really ironic that Pearce complained of a federal land grab regarding Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks, which is false, but that is exactly what he is doing in the Northern Extension of the White Sands Missile Range behind our backs.

Our senators must remove the questionable language from the Senate version of the Defense Department bill. While we are at it, maybe it is time to replace Pearce with a representative who fully supports recreational uses on our public lands.

Capturing soul of a painter

I

wanted to respond to Milan Simonich’s story about Paul Milosevich (“Artist takes leap, stays true to realistic style,” July 20).

I cannot recall how many feature stories and briefs I have written during my earlier years about Paul Milosevich here in Lubbock, Texas. I always hoped to one day have him memorialize my own family, he is so gifted. But then, whenever it seemed like he was taking a painting break, bam, he was instead hanging out with the music scene, from C.B. (Stubb) Stubblefield and Jessie “Guitar” Taylor, to the Flatlanders, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock.

As you know, Paul was contracted by the Country Music Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is an avid golfer (I’m not), and he has captured everything from the morning mist on a golf course to the simplicity of a bag of clubs, on to golf champions and even a nude woman looking out from behind her motel curtains while

hoping her man has a strong day hitting that little white ball — and then chasing after it — all day. He has captured the gorgeous beauty of a sunset in the flatlands and a snowy day in New Mexico, each with no people to be seen. I guess you can tell he is one of my favorite contemporary men who work with a paintbrush.

And I truly appreciate the amazing manner in which Simonich also captured his soul.

I wanted to let Paul know how much he has meant to so many.

Goodness, I recall when he first had to wear that bulky suit to defy oil paints. He did not like it one bit, and I was never sure if he could do it and still paint. But I knew he would try. And as he did, and it worked, my respect for this artist just grew and grew in the process.

Spanish harder than it looks Dear Mexican: What is it about the many gringos/gabachos who constantly slaughter Spanish words? Spanish is easy to pronounce (and spell) compared to English. The vowels (a, e, i, o, u) are always pronounced the same way. In English, vowels vary a lot — difficult for new learners. In Spanish, all the other alphabet letters are pronounced the same way, except for a few, such as “J” (guttural-sounding) and “X” (like the aspired “J”). But “H” is always silent, “Y” is like “I”, and double “ll” is pronounced “yah.” And don’t get me started about how common expressions like vamonos became “mosey.” Or how calaboso became “calaboose,” and vaquero became “buckaroo,” etc.

Llamame Frustrado Dear Call Me Frustrated: Don’t be too hard on gabachos. You simplify Spanish a bit much — don’t forget that “X” sounds like “ch” when placed at the beginning of words, that we love to elide (you try getting a gaba to translate “No, pos ‘ta pa’lla”), and that trilling your “R’s” in ain’t exactly easy. In fairness, Americans do know Mexican Spanish, from borracho to chichis to chica caliente to guac, torts, to chimis. All other non-Mexicans in los Estados Unidos will slowly Gustavo learn Spanish as their numArellano bers decline and Mexicans ¡Ask a Mexican! increase — after all, they don’t want to be economically retarded like non-English-speaking Mexicans, do they? Besides, the only gabachos who should already know Spanish are those who live in the American Southwest — they’ve only had about 165 years to learn it, so give them a break.

Dear Mexican: As far as I can tell, Mexican food is all the same thing, based on one simple concept. Take a tortilla, lay it out open face, pile it up with meat, lettuce, tomato and maybe some cilantro, and it’s called a tostada. Fold it in half and now it’s a taco. Roll it up and it’s a burrito.

Throw the burrito in the deep fryer and now you have a chimichanga. The only real choice anybody has with Mexican food besides the amount of hot sauce is the tortilla (corn or flour) and the kind of meat. Is that all that Mexico could come up with for its country’s cooking heritage?

Culinary Boredom in Salinas Dear Gabacha: Wow, what did tortillas ever do to you? You don’t even know the Mexican-food writings of your hometown hero, John Steinbeck.

When he was going around the country while writing Travels with Charley, the Homer from Salinas wrote to his wife that he had prepared a bowl of pozole (he called it “pissoli”), which doesn’t involve tortillas (though it can) or meat (though it can). He also loved Bohemia beer, writing, “Ah, Bohemia beer and the Pyramid of the Sun; entire civilizations have created less.” Finally, tamales make many appearances in his works, from Tortilla Flat to The Pastures of Heaven and more. Besides, what’s gabacho food if not bread, a choice of meat and gallons of corn syrup?

OPINIONS

The West’s oldest newspaper, founded 1849 Robin M. Martin Owner

COMMENTARY: MAX EHRENFREUND

Robert M. McKinney Owner, 1949-2001

Botched executions might not sway public WASHINGTON ublic support for the death penalty in the United States has declined, but it remains strong, with at least 60 percent of respondents in surveys saying that they favor capital punishment. Whether the public would support the kind of execution that the state of Arizona administered on Wednesday, in which a convicted murderer took two hours to die after a lethal injection, is another question, one that pollsters can’t yet answer.

As pharmaceutical companies have refused to supply states that carry out executions, corrections departments have been administering the death penalty with novel combinations of drugs.

The death of Joseph Wood on Wednesday at a state prison in Florence, Ariz., was the most recent in a series of unsettling executions carried out with the new cocktails.

In April, Oklahoma botched the execution of Clayton Lockett, who died of a heart attack 43 minutes after what was supposed to have been a lethal injection. Witnesses said Lockett writhed, grimaced and appeared to clench his jaw during the execution. Polls conducted a few weeks afterward did not offer any conclusive evidence on whether the incident had affected public opinion.

A poll conducted by CBS News found that support for capital punishment had declined by 5 percentage points between last year and this May. Polls conducted by Gallup and The Washington Post-ABC News found no change in public attitudes.

Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport said he doubted that prolonged executions would alter public opinion. When supporters of the death penalty are asked why they are in favor,

they tend to say condemned prisoners must pay for their crimes. “The fact that the killer suffered for one or two hours more at the end may not affect those underlying attitudes,” Newport said.

“That’s the whole idea.”

This sentiment was apparently shared by the family of Wood’s victims. “This man conducted a horrific murder and you guys are going, let’s worry about the drugs,” Richard Brown told The Associated Press. “Why didn’t they give him a bullet? Why didn’t we give him Drano?”

Americans’ views on the death penalty are not firm, however. Despite the fact that they generally support it, their responses in polls reveal ambivalence about the issue.

When respondents in the Post-ABC poll were asked if they would prefer that prisoners receive capital punishment or life in prison without parole, a majority of respondents chose the life sentence.

“There’s just deep ambivalence about the death penalty in our society,” said Francis

Cullen, a criminologist at the University of Cincinnati. “We do it with lethal injection, oftentimes at midnight, hiding it from people.”

Meanwhile, larger demographic and technological changes may be affecting how Americans think about capital punishment.

In 1994, fully four in five Americans were telling Gallup they were for the death penalty. The share of supporters has declined since then.

The Pew Research Center has observed the same trend.

Cullen offered several possible explanations. Crime rates have fallen, and people might feel less threatened by criminal activity. Hispanics, who are less likely to support capital punishment than whites, make up more and more of the population. Since the advent of DNA forensics, genetic evidence has exonerated dozens of inmates on death row, which might also have influenced public opinion.

“Barring something horrible, some heinous crime, the

long-term trend is going to be away from capital punishment,” Cullen said.

The legal costs and years of delays associated with death-penalty cases have likely added to public skepticism, said Richard Dieter, the director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a not-for-profit organization that maintains statistics on capital punishment. Indeed, the number of executions and death sentences annually has declined in tandem with public support for the death penalty. Several states have abolished or placed a moratorium on executions in the past few years.

“There’s not enough willpower, in a way, to push forward with each execution, especially when it ends in an embarrassing spectacle,” Dieter said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Kudos for Drury Inn remodel downtown

I

’m a longtime Santa Fe resident who really appreciates the new Drury Inn at the old St. Vincent Hospital site. I pass by it a dozen or more times every day, and it has been a real joy to watch it come back to life — and in such a beautiful way. That building has always been very special to me. I had two children there and remember fondly when the hospital was run by Sister Mary Joaquin, another kind of sister to former Sen. Pete Domenici. She administered that hospital with grace, efficiency and compassion. I have a very strong connection with that building. It is a building with a soul, and I was deeply saddened to see it in decline, with more than its facade getting painfully older and sadder and lonelier. But Drury Southwest Inc. has done a fantastic job in restoring it to a place beyond its glory days. The plantings, the additions — everything is wonderful. That dear lady now shines once again with even more elegance and refinement. I thank Drury for the marvelous work and wish them all the best with all my heart.

Out of proportion Consider this story: A Palestinian boy throws a rock at an Israeli military car in which a general is riding. The stone hits the car, the car screeches to a stop, a soldier jumps out, catches the kid and throws him in the car. They drive to

police headquarters, where the boys’ legs are broken and a crew is sent out to blow up the house of his parents.

Or this: Hamas fires a series of rockets into Israel in an effort to get an oppressive blockade of Gaza lifted. No one in Israel is killed, but the rockets scare the population. In return, Israel bombs and invades — and within a week 600 Gazans have been killed, one-third of whom are children. Additionally schools, hospitals, office buildings are destroyed — countless thousands rendered homeless.

Losses on the Israeli side include a few dozen soldiers and a handful of civilians.

The Israeli government worries about the loss of tourism and investment.

Who does this remind you of?

U.S. domestic programs, aid to Israel has increased each year. Israel is a developed country with a higher life expectancy than the U.S. and a lower level of unemployment.

Its per capita gross domestic product is larger than that of Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia or South Korea. It is also the sixth-largest weapons exporter in the world.

Why is the U.S. diverting much-needed tax revenue to subsidize a modern country’s military? And how can the U.S. hope to broker a peace agreement when it is backing one side? It’s fair to say we also send tax dollars to the West Bank and Gaza, about $500 million annually on average, but this is for budgetary and nonlethal security assistance, not weapons.

Consider the cost The extensive media coverage of the current Israeli–Palestinian conflict fails to mention the extent to which we as United States citizens are supporting one side of this fight. Each year our government gives the state of Israel some $3.4 billion taxpayer dollars, more than two-thirds of which is earmarked for weapons and military equipment.

The Pentagon supplies an additional $2 billion to $3 billion dollars a year in grants and weapons transfers. Israel does not have to pay this money back or account for how it is used. In spite of budget cuts to

Excellent reporting I just want to congratulate Patrick Malone on his well-researched, investigative piece (“Discovering the true cost of care,” July 27).

The subject is relevant and the findings useful to all New Mexicans. It’s the kind of investigative reporting that is found less and less these days when economics challenge newsrooms’ abilities to cover subjects to this depth.

I hope to see more of the same.

Alice Darilek

nyone who owns a smartphone knows that mobile apps can simplify life with connections to more information at a rapid speed. Such apps also can be a real pain for established businesses — taxi services are but one example.

Earlier this month, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission directed its staff to re-examine regulations for ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft. The decision by the regulatory authority marked a potential breakthrough for consumers who want more transportation options than calling a traditional taxi or taking a bus.

The two companies, which facilitate peer-to-peer transportation, began operating in Albuquerque three months ago. Using a mobile app, passengers can request the closest available driver (who uses a privately owned vehicle) and are charged for the time and distance of their trip. No cash is exchanged. A credit card is tied to the passenger’s online account.

Almost immediately, taxi companies accused the companies of skirting state law by not adhering to certain registration requirements under the Motor Carrier Act, which prompted a cease-and-desist order from the PRC. A few weeks later, commissioners voted and denied Uber a certificate to provide “specialized passenger service.”

The debate focuses on whether Lyft and Uber should be classified as traditional taxi services or as a separate category altogether, known as ride-sharing services. The San Francisco-based companies consider themselves distinct from taxis because they don’t employ full-time drivers and don’t own the vehicles being operated. Taxi companies, however, say their competitors are seeking an unfair advantage.

Meanwhile, demand for the mobile-apps continues to grow, with about 15,000 people registered for Uber in Albuquerque and 4,000 in Santa Fe. The notion that Web-based businesses have an unfair advantage over traditional brick-and-mortar businesses is nothing new. We continue to see the hotel industry battle Airbnb, a service that allows people to rent out spare bedrooms or homes. Nationwide, state legislators and local officials are struggling to catch up with various new operations that don’t always match traditional codified definitions.

Commissioners must ensure public safety, but they should also consider consumer choice and foster an environment that encourages new companies. This doesn’t mean sacrificing rules of the road. But as commissioners work to make a final decision on Lyft and Uber, they must not squash innovation by refusing to revisit dated regulations. (More discussion on the upstart companies is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the PRC meeting, with possible movement on amendments to the transportation rules. The cease and desist order against Lyft also is on the agenda.)

Innovative business models that exploit emerging technology will only continue to disrupt established markets, which inevitably will improve or wither away. We can either push back against them, thereby denying New Mexicans choice and new sources of income, or we can work with them and show the rest of the nation that New Mexico is indeed open for business.

The past 100 years For the Santa Fe New Mexican: July 29, 1914: London — Reports of massing of armies in strategic positions came from all points of Europe today, but no actual clash of opposing forces was registered. Diplomats concentrated their attention on efforts to confine the war to Austria-Hungary and Serbia, the two nations immediately concerned in the quarrel, and the attitude of the German and Russian emperors was closely watched owing to their near relations to the countries engaged.

Newsmakers Gaga on Bennett duet: Jazz is easier than pop

Lady Gaga

NEW YORK — Lady Gaga is a bonafide pop star, but the singer says recording jazz music was easier than pop. Gaga has spent two years recording an album of jazz standards with Tony Bennett called Cheek to Cheek, to be released this fall.

“You know, it’s funny, but jazz comes a little more comfortable for me than pop music, than R&B music,” Gaga said.

The 28-year-old and 87-year-old Bennett first collaborated on his Grammy-winning, platinum-selling 2011 album, Duets II.

It’s anger management classes for Sorrentino

Michael Sorrentino

MIDDLETOWN, N.J. — Former Jersey Shore star Michael Sorrentino, better known as The Situation, has agreed to take the classes as part of a deal to resolve assault charges he faced following a July 15 fight with his brother. A municipal court judge Monday accepted the deal and adjourned the matter for three months. If Sorrentino successfully completes the program, the charge against him could be downgraded.

ove is not blind, as it turns out. But opposites attract when people think they are similar.

These are two findings about the users of OKCupid, one of the Web’s most popular dating sites, that provide a window into how we chase romantic partners in the digital age. At the same time, the results offer yet another example of how websites like OKCupid are sometimes used as social science laboratories — often without telling their subjects.

In June, Facebook disclosed that it had tested to see if emotions were contagious, deliberately manipulating the emotional content of the news feeds for 700,000 people.

After the disclosure led to an uproar by users, privacy regulators in Europe began looking into whether the social network had broken any local laws. Despite the bad publicity faced by Facebook, OKCupid on Monday published results of three experiments it recently conducted on users. In one test, it obscured profile pictures.

In another, the site hid profile text to see how it affected personality ratings. And in a third, it told some hopeful daters that they were a better or worse potential match with someone than the company’s software actually determined.

“If you use the Internet, you’re the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site,” Christian Rudder, president of OKCupid, wrote on the company’s blog. “That’s how websites work.”

The research found that if an OKCupid user was told that another user had a high compatibility score instead of a low one — the numbers are based on a mathematical formula created by the company — the user was slightly more likely to reach out with a message.

Those who believed they were corresponding with a good match were almost twice as likely to send at least four messages compared with people who were told they were a low match.

The test also illustrates how easy it is for a website to manipulate users without their knowing. The small number of users who received changed compatibility scores, some to 90 percent from 30 percent, were not told about the change before the experiment began. After the test ended, OKCupid sent emails revealing the true compatibility scores.

“I understand that that experimentation is part of the process,” said Zaz Harris, 37, a user of the site from Redwood City, Calif. “But I do think that experiment is a lot more invasive than the others because it could affect outcomes in a meaningful way.”

She added: “I would probably never see someone that the site said was a 30 percent

match when we were actually 90 percent, so that is not cool, really.”

Harris said, however, that her expectations for online dating were low regardless of percentages displayed. If the experiment was short-lived and produced better matchmaking, she said, “It’s not that big a deal.”

OKCupid’s user agreement says that when a person signs up for the site, personal data may be used in research and analysis.

“We told users something that wasn’t true. I’m definitely not hiding from that fact,” said Rudder, OKCupid’s president.

But he said the tests were done to determine how people can get the most from the site.

“People come to us because they want the website to work, and we want the website to work.”

It is not known how many of these manipulated matches may have turned into reallife dates, and the data suggest that the highest rate of communication happened between people who were good matches and were told they were good matches.

Mikolaj Jan Piskorski, a professor of social strategy at the International Institute for Management Development in Switzerland, said the sort of so-called randomized experiments conducted by OKCupid and Facebook were “critical but always ethically hard.”

He likened them to medical experiments where some participants in a study received a placebo they believed was a drug that might improve their health. “Social science is becoming subject to the same problems,” Piskorski said in an email interview.

He recommended that sites use so-called “natural experiments” — that is, observational studies that occur naturally, and from which data can be gleaned.

“We use natural experiments to overcome ethical problems that arise in randomized experiments,” he said. “I think the websites should consider more of these natural experiments even though they are harder to pull off.”

In the other two experiments described on Monday, OKCupid said users were more likely to equate “looks” with “personality,” even in profiles that featured attractive photos and little if any substantive profile information. And, it said, when the site obscured all profile photos one day, users engaged in more meaningful conversations, exchanged more contact details and responded to first messages more often.

They got to know each other. But when pictures were reintroduced on the site, many of those conversations stopped cold.

“It was like we’d turned on the bright lights at the bar at midnight,” Rudder wrote.

But while appearance matters as a rule, there seem to be exceptions.

When people went on truly blind dates that they set up using a companion app with no photos, their enjoyment of the dates was less influenced by looks.

In other words, maybe love can be blind, if you let it be.

Owner Donald Sterling loses bid to block deal

By Brian Melley The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A judge ruled against Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling on Monday in his attempt to block the $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

In the tentative ruling, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas sided with Sterling’s estranged wife, Shelly Sterling, who burst into tears when the ruling was announced.

“I can’t believe it’s over. I feel good,” she said.

Shelly Sterling negotiated the sale of the team after the 80-year-old billionaire was banned by the NBA for making offensive remarks about blacks.

She sought approval from a probate judge for the deal she struck after removing her husband from the trust that owned the team when doctors found he had signs of Alzheimer’s disease and couldn’t manage his affairs.

2024 OLYMPICS

Marketing agreement an obstacle in U.S. bid

By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — If Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Washington is picked to host the 2024 Olympics, the U.S. Olympic Committee will pay the price for winning. One of its first tasks will be to hand over millions in sponsorships to the victorious city’s newly formed organizing committee.

It’s one of those costly facts of life in the Olympics thanks to the Joint Marketing Program Agreement that a country’s Olympic federation must sign when it puts a city up as a candidate to host the Games. It also played into the failures of New York and Chicago in the past two U.S. attempts to land the Olympics.

The past two American bids have included agreements that didn’t conform with the International Olympic Committee’s guidelines, which call for around 90 percent of the host federation’s domestic sponsorship to be channeled to the new organizing committee. The U.S. Olympic Committee, not backed by any government funding, has balked at the terms because it would have trouble making up for the millions it gives away.

A

ll the pomp and circumstance surrounding the penultimate game of Santa Fe’s first taste of the Pecos League playoffs ended rather early on Monday night.

For the Fuego, that was a good thing.

Scoring six times in the bottom of the third inning, Santa Fe enjoyed an embarrassment of riches in a 22-0 rout of visiting Trinidad to win the Northern Division playoff series 2 games to 1.

The Fuego will travel to Alpine for Game 1 of the Championship Series on Wednesday night.

Every game of the finals will be in Alpine, a small Texas town about three hours south of Carlsbad and roughly eight hours from Santa Fe. Getting there wasn’t as easy as Monday’s final score would indicate. The Fuego lost the series opener to the Triggers, then had to rally late in Game 2 to force a deciding Game 3 that was delayed a day due to Sunday’s rain.

“You know, my dad actually called this one,” said Santa Fe catcher Erik Kozel. “He said 20-3. I might have to give him a hard time for not giving us enough credit.”

Any drama surrounding the do-or-die contest

faded quickly in the third inning when Santa Fe sent 11 men to the plate against three Trinidad pitchers. All six runs scored with two outs, the first coming on a broken bat roller by Craig Massey to Trinidad shortstop Michael Morris.

Morris fielded the ball on the run and threw low to first base. As the ball scooted under first baseman Jamie McMillan’s glove, Omar Artsen strolled home from second base to kickstart a parade of Fuego baserunners that never seemed to stop.

Santa Fe added four more runs in the fifth and nine more in the following frame to open a 19-0

Santa Fe learns to embrace baseball

By Will Webber The New Mexican

Well, well, well.

Santa Fe just might be a baseball town, after all.

It’s no secret that the City Different was skeptical of having a professional baseball team when the Pecos League approached city leaders with the idea of a club three years ago. It’s also no secret that the entire town was cautious about rolling out the welcome wagon for a league with a shaky reputation.

On Monday, the tune couldn’t have been more different.

For the third time in four days, more than 800 fans filed into the cozy confines of Fort Marcy Ballpark to watch the Fuego host a playoff game against the Trinidad Triggers.

For the third straight game, those fans showed why Santa Fe is quickly becoming the gold standard for small-town success in a league that is struggling to maintain its stability.

Santa Fe’s Austin Larden pitches Monday against the Trinidad Triggers at Fort Marcy Ballpark.

A team official said the paid attendance for the three-game Northern Division series was more than $2,500.

If one were to count the fans who found free seating along the lines and beyond the outfield fence, it’s safe

to assume that figure was well more than $3,000 for the three games.

Not bad for a team that many locals believed would never make it after the City Council convened in 2011 and voted 5-4 to allow beer sales at Fort Marcy, a measure that paved the way for the Fuego to launch as an expansion team in 2012.

“I’ve been told that it takes a while to be accepted here, and maybe that’s true,” said Fuego manager Bill Moore. “I’ve been here all three years, and I can say I firmly believe that these young men have represented themselves well enough to earn this place’s trust. This is a city with over 400 years of history. Santa Fe’s all about history. The Fuego, I believe, are now a very small part of that history.”

In the moments immediately following the team’s 22-0 rout of Trinidad to ensure a spot in the Pecos League Championship Series against

Fantasy sports sites draw real world’s attention Pro sports league embrace gambling on daily websites

By Joe Drape The New York Times

Ian Hills, a software engineer for DraftKings, a fantasy sports website, works at his computer in April at the company’s offices in Boston. Professional sports leagues — traditionally ferocious opponents of gambling on their sports, online or off — have quietly embraced gambling on fantasy sports, apparently aware that the passion for it is crucial to their bottom lines. GRETCHEN ERTL/THE NEW YORK TIMES

BOSTON — As with many startups, the idea was born from trivia that suddenly did not seem so useless — the statistics of professional athletes.

Even in his youth, Jason Robins was in touch with his inner Billy Beane, drafting and trading baseball players in fantasy sports leagues. He was a marketing professional at Vistaprint when he and two colleagues, who also had teams in numerous

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Carlos A. López, clopez@sfnewmexican.com

fantasy leagues, discovered an underdeveloped niche: daily fantasy sports websites, which let players put their Moneyball skills — and cash — up against others’ while compressing the grind of a season into a single day.

Robins, 33, and his colleagues, Matthew Kalish, 32, and Paul Liberman, 31, launched their own site, DraftKings.com, in April 2012. They knew they could attract players, with each day offering an opportunity to build a new roster and to cash in. The surprise has been that professional leagues — traditionally ferocious opponents of gambling on their sports, online or off — have quietly embraced gambling on fantasy sports, apparently aware that the passion

for it is crucial to their bottom lines.

Major League Baseball especially has taken daily fantasy sports under its wing. It has a partnership with DraftKings, which offers a daily contest on MLB.com in which prizes include tickets to games rather than cash.

That stance may be surprising for a league that barred Pete Rose for life for betting on games, but baseball executives see daily fantasy sports as an increasingly important part of their future.

In fact, Robert Bowman, the chief executive of Major League Baseball Advanced Media, the league’s Internet company, said it was exploring a larger partnership with

Clippers: Ruling unlikely to end bizarre saga Continued from Page B-1 deceived him about the medical exams.

He later revoked the trust after she negotiated the record-setting sales price and his lawyers argued that the move killed the deal. They said the case didn’t belong in probate court because the trust had been dissolved.

The ruling in Los Angeles County Superior Court is unlikely to put an end to the bizarre saga that began in April when a recording surfaced of Donald Sterling scolding his young girlfriend for bringing black men to Clippers games. The NBA moved quickly to ban Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million.

Donald Sterling was apologetic after the audio recording went viral, but his mea culpa backfired when he criticized Lakers great Magic Johnson, who had been photographed with Sterling’s girlfriend, as a bad role model for kids because he had HIV. Sterling was roundly criticized from locker rooms to the Oval Office, where President Barack Obama called his remarks “incredibly offensive racist statements.”

With the NBA threatening to seize the

team and auction it, Sterling initially gave his wife of 58 years permission to negotiate a sale but then refused to sign it. He said he would sue the league instead and then revoked the trust.

The nonjury trial Donald held over several weeks Sterling focused mainly on whether Shelly Sterling properly removed her husband as a trustee and whether her actions carried any weight after he revoked the trust.

Donald Sterling’s lawyers contended that his wife and her lawyers conspired to trick him and that the mental exams by two doctors were faulty. They said Sterling didn’t know his competency as a trustee was being evaluated and that he showed no signs of incompetence on the witness stand.

In combative testimony, Donald Sterling said he would “never, ever sell” the team he bought in 1981 for about $12 million. He vowed to fight the NBA in court until the day he dies.

Before taking the stand, he kissed his wife and then testified that he loved her. But the following day when she approached him in court, he yelled, “Get away from me, you pig!”

Sterling, a lawyer who made a fortune as a landlord, has filed an antitrust lawsuit in federal court against the NBA and he sued his wife, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the league in state court.

Lawyers for Shelly Sterling and Ballmer had urged the judge to let the sale go through because it was in the best interest of the family trust. They said an auction was less likely to bring such a high price and that coach Doc Rivers, key players and sponsors were likely to walk if Donald Sterling’s ownership was prolonged.

“The trust has a golden bird in the hand,” Shelly Sterling’s lawyers wrote in court papers. “A sale of the Clippers for $2 billion is indisputably a bonanza for the Sterling family. Donald’s strident opposition is motivated by only selfish considerations.”

Donald Sterling said he could get more for the team by also selling TV rights and through his $9 billion suit against the league.

Bid: Most committees are quick to sign deal Continued from Page B-1 It would likely seek a different arrangement for a 2024 bid, as well.

“A lot of countries might say it’s not an issue,” said Jim Scherr, the CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee when New York finished fourth in the 2012 bidding. “They know if the Olympic committee loses money, the government will step in and make up the difference. You put it on the government’s tab, and call it a day.”

Not so in the United States. In meetings last week with leaders of the four potential bid cities, U.S. Olympic Committee leaders spent a good amount of time explaining the Joint Marketing Program Agreement.

The committee will decide early next year whether to bid for 2024.

“I acknowledge it’s been a contentious issue in the past, both with New York and Chicago,” CEO Scott Blackmun said. “I can tell you we’re working hard to change our relationship with each bid city. We want to work with them to develop a structure that makes sense for us and them.”

Some form of the agreement has been in play since after the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, which were the first to truly cash in on the marketing power of the worldwide games. With fewer marketing rules in place, sponsors and the hosts ran into

some awkward situations — for instance, film companies Kodak and Fuji wound up paying big bucks to different entities and ended up battling over the same Olympic ad space.

To avoid that, the IOC made the host country’s Olympic committee sign over the vast majority of its sponsorships to the organizing committee that forms when a city is awarded the Olympics. London’s domestic sponsorship program for the 2012 Games produced $1.15 billion.

IOC Marketing Director Timo Lumme says there’s some flexibility built into the program, so the U.S. Olympic Committee might not have to give away as much as some other countries, but the principle of the concept stays true.

“If you’re Company X, you don’t want, in the morning, a person from the organizing committee coming to you selling their wares, then in the afternoon someone from the U.S. team coming and doing the same thing,” Lumme said.

Most Olympic committees have been quick to sign the Joint Marketing Program Agreement, knowing the surge in interest sparked by a home Olympics will lure new sponsors and, more importantly, that their national governments will step in to make up the difference.

But in the United States, the sponsorship market is considered close to tapped out and the federal government has a long history of not providing funding to the U.S. Olympic Committee.

That puts the U.S. Olympic Committee is a spot of not having any clear path to make up the sponsorship shortfall, which accounts for between 20 percent and 30 percent of its revenues ($168 million last year) — a good portion of which is used to fund Olympic athletes.

In the bid for 2012, the U.S. Olympic Committee didn’t put a signature on the Joint Marketing Program Agreement with New York until the night before the voting.

Chicago’s agreement was signed about a month before the Games were awarded.

Both cities finished fourth in the voting.

The U.S. Olympic Committee is optimistic its improving relationship with the IOC will provide some leeway if it bids for 2024.

In 2012, the committee and IOC came to terms over a long-simmering feud about revenue sharing, with the committee agreeing not to take as big a portion of the money the IOC receives from sponsors and TV. When that deal was resolved, the U.S. Olympic Committee said it would start looking into bidding for the Olympics again.

Fantasy: Daily sites offer instant gratification Continued from Page B-1 DraftKings and did not rule out the possibility of cash tournaments or other formats in which money is at stake.

“We have spent a lot of time inside here and talking to other outside experts and have concluded these are games of skill and adhere to the federal law,” Bowman said. “It keeps people interested in the games.

“Season-long fantasy is a war of attrition. The cleverness here is that it’s over quickly, and for a younger generation, it’s more appropriate. It’s where the people are. It drives traffic. It’s not to make extra bucks for MLB.com. It is evolving, and we are continuing to evolve.”

The NFL declined to comment on its view of daily fantasy sports, but the league’s lobbyists, along with lobbyists from other professional leagues, successfully pushed to exempt fantasy sports from the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, which outlawed online poker and sports betting.

The NFL hosts season-long leagues on its website, provides fantasy analysis of players and winning strategies, and offers Fantasy Ultimate Experience Leagues, payto-enter contests with authentic jerseys and memorabilia as prizes.

Nigel Eccles, a founder of another leading site, FanDuel, said the success that daily fantasy sports had achieved in a short period of time had gotten the professional leagues’ attention. Last year, FanDuel paid out $150 million; this year, that figure is expected to more than double, to $400 million.

“Leagues are very supportive of fantasy in general, including daily sports,” said Eccles, whose company started in 2009.

“We have had informal relationships with them, but we think that will change.”

In many respects, the general sports culture has caught up with the fans behind DraftKings and FanDuel. Fantasy sports place a premium on data, and technological and the statistical advances have made a nearly infinite amount of information available instantly.

While season-long fantasy games have long been a major business, with giants like Yahoo, ESPN and CBS hosting leagues, daily fantasy sports websites offer instant gratification.

Like a general manager in a professional sport, players are given a salary cap they cannot exceed in filling out their lineups.

There are contests for as little as a quarter or as much as $1,000, and total prize pools ranging from $54 to $100,000.

Daily fantasy sites have also benefited from a Justice Department crackdown on online poker. On April 15, 2011, a day now known to gamblers as Black Friday, the department seized the Internet addresses of three of the largest online poker websites and unsealed fraud and money laundering charges against the sites’ operators.

Gavin Lamothe, a 32-year-old insurance broker, was one of those left without a place to gamble. He began playing on fantasy sites, entering tournaments for $2 to $10, checking on players’ on-base and slugging percentages, and learning how to manage his payroll.

Although he started small, just as he had for online poker, Lamothe was soon spending 35 hours a week researching for and playing daily fantasy games. He won more than $50,000 last year, he said, and discovered another pastime.

“It’s become an extended poker room,” he said. “You get familiar with other players. You learn their strengths and how they like to build a lineup.

“But as the prizes have grown, so have the number of players, and that’s become harder. I’m starting to see a lot more recreational gamblers coming online.”

DraftKings and FanDuel, as well as

larger sites like Yahoo, have tried to distance themselves from other kinds of online gambling, emphasizing that knowledge and skill are rewarded rather than pure luck. But the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, which has 170 members, recently hired lobbyists to track legislation that would make online gambling illegal across the country.

The companies want to protect the fantasy sports exemption of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, especially at this time of expansion, when major players like Yahoo and ESPN are deciding whether to enter the daily fantasy market.

But daily fantasy websites still make up a relatively small market, and the companies’ more immediate focus is on making sure fantasy players know the games are available.

Even though DraftKings has had more than 500,000 players and has more than 2,500 compete in its $2 contest daily, those figures are but a fraction of the more than 36 million people who play in season-long fantasy leagues.

“That’s a pretty low market penetration — about 1 or 1.5 percent for an industry with enough liquidity to have these large prize pools and daily content that is evergreen,” Robins, one of the DraftKings founders, said.

u New Mexico Highlands University men’s basketball coach Craig Snow announced the signing of six players on Monday. To read more, visit www.santafenewmexican. com, and look for a story in print Wednesday’s edition.

In brief Bairstow to play with Boomers Things just keep getting more interesting for former University of New Mexico men’s basketball star Cameron Bairstow.

The former Lobos’ power forward was recently drafted in the second round by the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, which resulted in a breakout NBA Summer League Cameron audition Bairstow that ended with him signing a contract with the club.

Now Bairstow has been selected to the Australian National Team for the World Championships. The Boomers will participate in the FIBA World Championships in Spain in August.

“Excited to put on the green and gold at the 2014 FIBA world champs,” Bairstow tweeted after the national team announcement.

The native of Brisbane, Australia, was selected with the 49th pick of the 2014 NBA Draft by Chicago, and he made his professional debut with the Bulls during summer league action in Las Vegas, Nev. He signed a multiyear contract with the Bulls last week, making him one of two former Lobos on the team’s roster, joining 2013 first-round selection Tony Snell.

“We like Cameron’s combination as a player with his size, energy and physicality,” said Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman in a news release announcing the signing. “He is a hard worker who will only get better with time.”

This summer is not Bairstow’s first stint with the Australian Boomers. He helped Australia capture a silver medal in the World University Games last summer.

Woods returns to Begay event VERONA, N.Y. — Tiger Woods is returning to play in Notah Begay’s charity event.

It will mark the fifth time Woods will take part in the NB3 Foundation Challenge put on annually by his former college roommate at Stanford. This year’s event at Turning Stone Resort in Verona, N.Y., is set for Aug. 27.

Woods will be paired with Begay, an Albuquerque Academy graduate and one of the most popular athletes to ever come out of New Mexico, at the resort’s Atunyote Golf Club. Jason Dufner and Jimmy Walker will round out the team. Jonas Blixt, two-time major champion Angel Cabrera and Louis Oosthuizen also have committed to play. A fourth international competitor will be announced soon.

The fundraiser targets health issues facing Native Americans. Begay, a Navajo and the only full-blooded American Indian to play on the PGA Tour, says he’s raised more than $4 million in seven years.

MLB ROUNDUP

Darvish lifts Rangers over Jeter, Yankees The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Yu Darvish struck out eight in seven innings for his 10th victory and J.P. Arencibia had Rangers 4 a tiebreaking twoYankees 5 run single for the Rangers in a 4-2 victory over the Yankees on Monday night.

Darvish (10-6) shouted out and pumped his fist after his final strikeout, when Brian McCann swung and missed to end the seventh with two runners on base.

Brett Gardner homered twice and Derek Jeter had three hits -- to pass Carl Yastrzemski on the hits list -- off the All-Star right-hander, who threw 80 of his 108 pitches for strikes five days after losing a rain-shortened game in New York.

David Phelps (5-5) lost for the first time in nine starts, allowing four runs and eight hits over six innings.

The right-hander, like Darvish, was credited with a complete game last Wednesday in the 2-1 Yankees victory that didn’t resume after rain in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Neal Cotts worked a scoreless eighth for Texas. Neftali Feliz then was perfect in the ninth for his second save in two chances since taking back the closer role last week after Joakim Soria was traded.

The Yankees led 2-0 after Gardner homered in the fifth, his third homer off Darvish in a week and 12th overall this season. Gardner also homered in the third.

BLUE JAYS 14, RED SOX 1 In Boston, Melky Cabrera homered from both sides of the plate and drove in five runs, and R.A. Dickey pithed three-hit ball for seven innings as Toronto romped past Boston.

The Blue Jays won for the sixth time in seven games while the Red Sox lost one day after stopping a five-game slide that began in Toronto with three losses.

Cabrera homered into Boston’s bullpen in right field after Jose Reyes led off the game with a walk. Cabrera made it 9-0 in a nine-run sixth with a three-run homer to left, his 14th of the season.

Ryan Goins had four hits and four RBIs for Toronto.

Dickey (9-10) had a season-high 10 strikeouts, allowed a run and walked one as he won for the third time in 10 starts. But against the Red Sox he’s 3-0 with 21 strikeouts and two walks this season.

Clay Buchholz (5-7) left the game

after allowing the first three batters to reach in the sixth.

Isotopes fall to Aces 6-0

BRAVES 2, PADRES 0 In Atlanta, Ervin Santana threw eight scoreless innings, Evan Gattis homered for the first time in more than a month and the Braves blanked San Diego.

Santana (10-6) allowed just five hits and matched his career high with 11 strikeouts. Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth for his 32nd save.

Gattis led off the seventh with a drive into the left-field seats off Jason Lane (0-1), a 37-year-old former outfielder making his first big league start as a pitcher.

Called up from Triple-A to fill in for ailing Ian Kennedy, Lane shut down the Braves through six innings. But when the left-hander hung an 0-1 breaking pitch, Gattis hit his 17th homer of the season and first since June 18, before he went on the disabled list for nearly three weeks with a bulging disk in his back.

MARLINS 7, NATIONALS 6 In Miami, Jeff Baker hit a two-out RBI single to cap a four-run rally in the ninth inning as the Marlins won its their straight.

Miami trailed 6-1 in the seventh, and Washington’s Rafael Soriano (2-1), who earned his 200th career save Sunday, took the mound in the ninth with a 6-3 lead and blew a save for the fourth time this season Casey McGehee led off with a fourpitch walk, Garrett Jones doubled and Marcell Ozuna hit an RBI single. Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s sacrifice fly made it 6-5, and a wild pitch advanced Ozuna to second base.

Adeiny Hechavarria ended an 11-pitch at-bat with a tying triple and pinch-hitter Donovan Solano was hit by a pitch.

Left-hander Jerry Blevins replaced Soriano and struck out Christian Yelich.

Baker, who entered in the eighth, then lined a hit over left fielder Bryce Harper that hit the base of the fence.

Mike Dunn (8-5) pitched a perfect ninth.

ASTROS 7, ATHLETICS 3 In Houston, Chris Carter, Jason Castro, Marc Krauss and Matt Dominguez each hit a home run to help the Astros snap a five-game skid.

Carter hit a monstrous three-run shot to center field in the third to give the Astros a lead, and Castro and Krauss went back-to-back in the sixth, with Castro’s homer a two-run shot.

Krauss’ homer found the upper deck in right field and chased A’s starter Jesse Chavez (8-7). Two batters later, Dominguez sent a drive onto the railroad tracks in left field off reliever Dan Otero.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish pitches against the New York Yankees during the first inning of Monday’s game in Arlington, Texas.

TONY GUTIERREZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The last time Houston hit three home runs in an inning was June 5, 2013, against Baltimore.

Brett Oberholtzer (3-7) won for the first time since May 30, giving up three runs on eight hits with two strikeouts in 6⅔ innings.

CUBS 4, ROCKIES 1 In Chicago, Tsuyoshi Wada earned his first big league win, pitching seven strong innings to lead the Cubs past Colorado.

Anthony Rizzo drove in two runs to back Wada (1-1), who was making his third career start.

Wada cut through the Colorado lineup, allowing one run and five hits.

It was a far cry from his last outing, when he lasted four innings and gave up five runs in a loss to San Diego.

The sole blemish on Wada’s performance came in the sixth when the Rockies got three hits, capped by Nolan Arenado’s RBI single.

Pedro Strop worked out of a jam in the eighth inning and Hector Rondon

worked a perfect ninth for his 13th save in 16 chances. Yohan Flande (0-3) struck out eight in 6⅔ innings.

METS 7, PHILLIES 1 In New York, Travis d’Arnaud went 3 for 4 with a three-run homer and Bartolo Colon made his second straight strong start for the Mets.

D’Arnaud hit one of three doubles for the Mets as they took a 4-0 lead in the first. Then the catcher’s seventh home run of the season broke the game open in the fifth.

The 41-year-old Colon (10-8) retired the first 20 batters in his last outing Wednesday against Seattle, eventually allowing two runs on three hits in 7⅓ innings in a 3-2 win. He wasn’t as dominant Monday. But staked to a big lead, he was never in much trouble either, scattering 10 hits over 7⅔ innings.

RAYS 2, BREWERS 1 In St. Petersburg, Fla., Jake Odorizzi won his third consecutive start and James Loney had two RBIs to lead the

After taking two of the first three games of their series at Reno, the Albuquerque Isotopes came well short of getting the series clincher in a 6-0 loss to the Aces on Monday at Aces Ballpark.

Albuquerque (52-58) had just three hits through the first eight innings. Tim Federowicz doubled with two down in the ninth but it was only the second time an Isotopes batter found himself in scoring position all night.

Reno starting pitcher Charles Brewer (5-9) tossed eight innings, giving up three hits and no walks while striking out five.

Barry Enright (0-1) took the loss for the Isotopes. He gave up nine hits and six earned runs in 4⅔ innings.

The shutout loss was Albuquerque’s third in the past month. Two of them have come against Reno.

Clint Robinson also doubled for the Isotopes while Mike Baxter and Alex Guerrero each had singles.

In the wake of the benchesclearing brawl between Albuquerque and Reno on Saturday night, the Pacific Coast League announced numerous suspensions for both teams.

Reno had six players suspended while the Isotopes had five players get disciplinary action. Pitcher Carlos Frias got the worst of it, getting a sevengame suspension beginning immediately.

Pitchers Jose Dominguez and Pedro Baes each got four games, while pitcher Jimmy zGarcia and infielder Walter Ibarra both got three games.

The suspensions for all the pitchers will come one after another so Albuquerque can avoid being too short handed within the next few days. Frias was slated to be the starter of one game during Albuquerque’s series in Sacramento, which starts Tuesday.

The New Mexican

Rays past Milwaukee.

Odorizzi (7-8) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings to beat the team that took him 32nd overall in the 2008 draft.

Fuego: Pitcher Austin Carden finished with a 9-inning shutout Continued from Page B-1 lead. It was an assembly line of hits and runs for a team that has undoubtedly inspired a loyal fan base in what has been a breakout season for the league’s most prosperous team.

“I don’t know if the fans were excited, but we sure were,” said Fuego manager Bill Moore. “This game was exciting for us. I don’t care what the final score was. Any win in the playoffs is exciting.”

Almost lost in the glare of all the crooked numbers on the scoreboard was the outstanding work of Santa Fe’s starting pitcher, Austin Carden.

Throwing mostly cutters to Trinidad’s lineup loaded with lefthanded hitters, he finished with a nine-inning complete game shutout by scattering three hits — all singles — and striking out 10.

It was the second nine-inning shutout of the season for a Fuego pitcher.

Both came at home.

“That’s never easy when you’re talking about a place with a 285-foot fence in the outfield,” Carden said.

He said the difference actually came down to a talk he had with his catcher in the hours before the game began. “[Kozel] and I had a game plan to attack certain hitters a certain way, and the plan worked out alright,” Carden said. “If I can get that cutter going in on lefthanders, I’m going to be OK.” “Austin’s a guy when he’s hitting his spots, he’s dominant,” Kozel said. “We knew what we wanted to do before the game and he came out and had great control. Just look at his stats.”

Carden (5-2) has been one of the top

pitchers in the league since returning to Santa Fe’s rotation earlier this month. He was won his last three decisions and has logged 29 innings while giving up nine earned runs and striking out 35.

What he wasn’t doing on the mound on Monday, the rest of the team was doing at the plate. The Fuego had 18

hits to go with three Trinidad errors and eight walks.

Brice Cutspec was a late addition to the starting lineup after putting on a show during batting practice on Monday afternoon. He made the most of it, going 4-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI. Kozel also homered and drove in

four runs while Carden and Nick Billinger each had three hits. Billinger had two doubles and drove in a pair after going hitless in eight at bats to start the series.

By the time Carden retired the final batter on a soft liner to Massey at short in the top of the ninth, the drama surrounding the outcome was long

gone. It still didn’t diminish the team’s accomplishment as the players ran onto the field to celebrate their final home game of the season.

“You know what, we wanted the championship to be right here,” Artsen said. “But we’re not going to complain. We’ll go on the road and get this thing done. This isn’t over.”

Embrace: Santa Fe among most profitable cities for Pecos League Continued from Page B-1 Alpine, the players acknowledged the fans by waving to them during a postgame celebration. The fans returned the courtesy with a standing ovation.

“That’s something I’ll never forget right there,” said second baseman Omar Artsen. “That was special.”

“The fans were great all summer,” said shortstop Craig Massey. “They’ve been coming out in big numbers all year and having them support us like they did this series was so big for us.”

Even league President Andrew Dunn took notice. He said the 10-team league finds its most profitable teams with the four that actually made this

year’s playoffs: Santa Fe, Alpine, Trinidad and Roswell.

“Three years ago, I don’t think anyone in this town thought baseball would work,” he said. “But we’ve stuck around and gotten everyone’s attention. Now the Pecos League isn’t what it is without Santa Fe. If we could do this in every town, it would be amaz-

ing. People used to make fun of the Fort Marcy grass, the Fort Marcy this, the Fort Marcy that. Now it’s the place everyone wants to play. Santa Fe is where they all want to be.”

Moving forward, the Fuego will have to make due without their loyal followers. The entire best-of-three championship series will be in Alpine,

Texas, since the Cowboys owned the best record in the league during the regular season. Game 1 is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday.

“If I could say one thing to our fans, it’s this,” Moore said. “We couldn’t have done it with you.”

A miserable game against Seattle followed (three rushes for 3 yards, two catches for 10 yards), then came the breakout game against Atlanta.

The moment came when, with the ball on the Arizona 20, Ellington took a handoff and raced around and past the Falcons on an 80-yard touchdown run, tied for third-longest in franchise history. He finished with 154 yards rushing in 15 carries.

On Dec. 15 at Tennessee, he gained 71 yards in 10 carries and caught four passes for 87 yards. With that performance, Ellington joined Hall of Famer Ollie Matson as the only Cardinal rookie to run for at least 70 yards and catch passes for at least 80 yards.

For Reed, the Hall of Fame festivities will serve as a reunion and include Kelly, who is strong enough to make the trip.

“It’s going to be real special to see him there,” Reed said. “It’s like your whole family being there.”

The only one missing will be Ralph Wilson.

“He’s going to be the only person, the most important person, that’s not going to be there,” Reed said. “But we all hold his spirit. And we all hold what he meant to football, what he meant to Buffalo.”

Hi, my name is: Texas

– With a smile as wide as the Lone Star State, Texas will steal your heart and make it shine! Texas is a handsome male Australian Shepherd mix, 2 years young. At 55 lbs, he is the perfect size for whatever adventures you have in mind. Housebroken, clicker trained and sharp as a whip, Texas will quickly learn whatever you want him to. Interests include: walks and runs with his people, rolling in cool, green grass, and snuggling up for petting. Great with people and many dogs, but may do best with dog-experienced people with an active lifestyle.

You bring the leash and treats, he’ll provide the joy!

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Woman ends her sex life over STD Dear Annie: I am a 68-year-old woman who has been divorced for more than 30 years. I haven’t been in an intimate relationship for the past 10.

Last year, I discovered that I have genital herpes. The doctor said I may have had it for years before experiencing symptoms. I was devastated. When I have an outbreak, I take medication that shortens the discomfort, and I decided not to have intimate contact anymore. I’m quite busy with my retirement lifestyle and very content.

Here’s the problem: Through a friend, I recently met an interesting man my age. I don’t want to tell him about my personal medical history, but I also don’t want him to think I’m a prude. We went out casually once, and he has called since, but I have put him off.

I can’t decide whether I should see him again and whether I should tell him I have an STD and let him decide whether he wants a “friend without benefits.” What do you suggest? — K. Dear K.: It seems a shame to end your sex life because you fear transmitting an STD. There are ways to avoid that. And your future partner may be more understanding than you realize.

Please contact the American Sexual Health Association (ashasexualhealth.org) for information on all STDs, including herpes, and for support in communicating with potential partners.

Dear Annie: How do you tell a doctor that his office is dirty? My physician’s office is full of dust, cobwebs, smudged fingerprints and dirty sinks. It looks as if it hasn’t been cleaned in years.

He is a good doctor and has helped me many times, but I can hardly walk into that office without gagging. What should I do?

— Love the Doc, Not His Office Dear Love the Doc: You have to tell him. All of that dirt means that equipment that needs to be

sterile isn’t, and who knows what germs you are breathing in during an exam? This puts your health at risk. Also, how many patients has he lost because of the condition of his office? And if your doctor cannot see the dirt surrounding him, he may have a vision problem that needs correcting, although it’s more likely he either doesn’t have a cleaning staff or they don’t do a good job.

Does your doctor have an assistant or receptionist? Direct your complaint to that person. If there is no one else in his office, please have the courage to speak up during your next visit. Tell the doctor that his office could use a good cleaning, and suggest that his current cleaning service be replaced.

If things don’t change, report him to your local health department.

Dear Annie: My daughter had the same experience as the son of “Upset Dad.” In seven years on the softball teams in middle and high school, she never missed a practice. Yet I can count on one hand the number of times that she played more than one inning in a game. Most of the time, she sat on the bench, while kids who habitually missed practice got to play all the time.

My daughter loved softball so much that she begged me not to say anything to the coach, and I respected her wishes until the day after her graduation, when I penned a polite but critical letter to the coach, athletic director and superintendent. Not one of them had the courtesy to reply.

I’m a teacher. The field is a coach’s classroom. If I refused to call on students who came to class prepared, raised their hands and wanted to participate, I certainly would be dismissed. In school sports, all students who attend practices regularly, follow team rules and want to play should have an equal opportunity to do so. — English Teacher and OneTime Sports Mom
