Long conflict, little relief On 13th anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks, there’s no end in sight for America’s War on Terror

Obama vows U.S. will ‘hunt’ terrorists

By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Earth’s protective ozone layer is beginning to recover, largely because of the phase-out since the 1980s of certain chemicals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans, a U.N. scientific panel reported Wednesday in a rare piece of good news about the health of the planet.

Scientists said the development demonstrates that when the world comes together, it can counteract a brewing ecological crisis.

For the first time in 35 years, scientists were able to confirm a statistically significant and sustained increase in stratospheric ozone, which shields the planet from solar radiation that causes skin cancer, crop damage and other problems.

From 2000 to 2013, ozone levels climbed 4 percent in the key mid-northern latitudes at about 30 miles up, said NASA scientist Paul A. Newman. He co-chaired the every-four-years ozone assessment by 300 scientists, released at the United Nations.

Plans involve airstrikes in Syria, sending American military advisers to Iraq

By Mark Landler The New York Times

Post-ABC News poll found 71 percent of Americans supporting airstrikes against the Islamic State fighters, compared to 45 percent in June. Longer-term, a Pew Research Center-USA Today poll last month suggested that most Americans view the world as becoming more dangerous and expect militant forms of Islam to grow in influence rather than subside.

Since the autumn of 2001, America, with its allies, has been at war against factions of Islamic militants and

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Wednesday night that he was ordering a significantly expanded military campaign against Sunni militants in the Middle East that includes American airstrikes in Syria and the deployment of nearly 500 more military advisers to Iraq. But he sought to dispel fears that the United States was embarking on a repeat of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a televised speech from the State Floor of the White House, Obama said the United States was recruiting a global coalition to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the militants, from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. He warned that the effort would require years of sustained effort.

“We will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are,” Obama said. “That means I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven.” ISIL is an alterna-

hirteen years after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, this was supposed to be a season of relief, with Iraq managing on its own and most U.S. troops finally ending their combat duty in Afghanistan. Instead, Americans are bracing for another upsurge of military engagement in a region where one war blurs into another. Across the world, a generation has now grown up amid this continuous conflict, and there’s no end in sight.

“The Cold War took 45 years,” said Elliott Abrams, a longtime diplomat who was top Middle East adviser to President George W. Bush. “It’s certainly plausible that this could be the same. … It’s harder to see how this ends.”

Dominic De Villegas has been volunteering at Santa Fe High School’s visitors gate during football games for the past nine years.

But he became an “official” volunteer just over a year ago, when he was told he had to fill out a lengthy application, undergo a background check and pay for fingerprints.

De Villegas said he paid $15 for the fingerprinting just before Halloween in 2013. The next day, the New Mexico Department of Public Safety upped that price to $44 — which is what it now costs to become a volunteer for Santa Fe Public Schools.

The Seattle-based foundation said the money will go to the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and international organizations involved in fighting transmission of the virus.

The money will be used to purchase supplies and to develop vaccines, therapies and better diagnostic tools. The foundation wants to help stop the outbreak as well as accelerate development of treatments and improve prevention.

Regulators reject call for nuke plant shutdown

A hidden Stonehenge

LOS ANGELES — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Wednesday rejected a senior federal expert’s recommendation to shut down California’s last operating nuclear power plant until the agency can determine whether its twin reactors can withstand powerful shaking from nearby earthquake faults.

In a decision written by Executive Director for Operations Mark Satorius, the agency concluded there is no immediate or significant safety concern at the Diablo Canyon plant, which sits on a seaside bluff midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Michael Peck, who for five years was Diablo Canyon’s lead NRC inspector, said in a confidential report disclosed by The Associated Press last month that no one knows whether the plant’s equipment can withstand strong shaking from those faults — the potential for which was realized decades after the facility was built.

Court adds gay marriage to Sept. 29 agenda WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has formally added gay marriage cases to the justices’ agenda for their closed-door conference on Sept. 29.

The action Wednesday does not mean that the court will decide that day to hear state appeals of lower court rulings that struck down bans on same-sex marriage. But the late September conference will be the first time the justices have the issue before them. The meeting will be the justices’ first since late June.

Appeals have been filed from Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. The gay couples who won in each case in the lower courts also favor Supreme Court review.

The justices could put off deciding whether to take up gay marriage until January and still be able to issue a decision by late June.

PINE APPLE, Ala. — Their little bodies shrouded in plastic bags, the five children of Timothy Ray Jones Jr. had been dead for days by the time he led investigators to the spot where they had been dumped among dead trees and scrub brush.

The children’s journey to that isolated hilltop in central Alabama covered hundreds of miles and crisscrossed several Southeastern states as Jones drove his Cadillac Escalade around for days, using bleach to try to mask the smell of the decomposing bodies, authorities said Wednesday.

Jones was arrested Saturday at a drunkendriving checkpoint in Mississippi, about 500 miles from his hometown of Lexington, S.C. An officer said he “smelled the stench of death” along with chemicals used to make methamphetamine and synthetic marijuana.

Jones was acting strangely and appeared “somewhat disoriented,” said Lewis McCarty, the acting sheriff in Lexington.

discord between their parents. The divorce between Jones and his wife, Amber, finalized 11 months ago.

A therapist who saw the man more than two years ago described him as “highly intelligent” and responsible, yet emotionally devastated and angry over his wife’s alleged infidelity, court records show. Still, authorities said they don’t know why the children were slain.

Autopsies were scheduled to begin Thursday.

Jones, 32, confessed to killing his children, ages 1 to 8, and dumping their bodies in the secluded clearing, authorities said. The computer engineer who had a degree from Mississippi State University was working for Intel when he disappeared with his children, the company said. At the time of his divorce, he was making about $71,000 a year.

The sheriff said Jones apparently acted alone and will be charged with five counts of murder. Authorities have seized his computer.

Jones’ stepmother, Julie Jones of Amory, Miss., called the children “beautiful.”

Divorce records listed the five children as Merah, 8; Elias, 7; Nahtahn, 6; Gabriel, 2 and Elaine Marie, 1. Elaine Marie was born Abagail Elizabeth but the parents agreed to a name

Vienna says the new maps makes it possible “for the first time, to reconstruct the development of Stonehenge and its landscape through time.”

Archaeologists and others have been digging and theorizing at Stonehenge since the 1620s. The monument, 85 miles southwest of London, attracts more than 1.2 million visitors a year —including, last week, President Barack Obama and Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales.

The universities of Nottingham, Bradford and St. Andrews in the U.K., and the University of Ghent in Belgium were also involved in the project.

WASHINGTON — An extreme solar flare is blasting its way to Earth and could mess up some power grids, satellites and radio transmissions, scientists say.

It’s been several years since Earth has had a solar storm of this size coming from sunspots smack in the middle of the sun, said Tom Berger, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo.

Solar storms happen often, especially during peaks in the solar cycle, and don’t directly harm people. But what makes this one more worrisome is its location on the sun along with its strength, he said.

“There’s been a giant magnetic explosion on the sun,” Berger said.

“Because it’s pointed right at us, we’ll at least catch some of the cloud” of highly energized and magnetized plasma that can disrupt Earth’s magnetic sphere, which sometimes leads to temporary power grid problems.

Forecasters don’t yet know when Wednesday’s solar storm will arrive and which part of the planet will be facing the sun and bear the brunt of the effects. It could arrive as early as Thursday morning.

In Lexington, there was an abuse complaint against Jones lodged on Aug. 7, but when deputies and an official with the Department of Social Services went out to the house, they interviewed the children and didn’t see anything to alarm them.

The case has unfolded over the past two weeks, but it wasn’t until Tuesday afternoon — when authorities found the children’s bodies — that they went public.

The children were last seen Aug. 28. Jones was to bring the children to their mother’s home Sept. 2, but never showed up. Their mother reported them missing Sept. 3.

On Saturday night, Jones was stopped at a checkpoint in Smith County, Miss., authorities said. When authorities ran his license plate, they discovered Jones and his children had been reported missing. Late Monday, Jones confessed that he had killed them and dumped their bodies, authorities said.

Jones’ father, Timothy Jones Sr. of Amory, Miss., said the family’s hearts were broken, and he called his son a loving dad. A memorial service will be held for the children in Amory on Friday.

Putin turns focus to new offensive weapons Program aimed at providing a ‘guaranteed nuclear deterrent’

By Vladimir Isachenkov The Associated Press

MOSCOW — Russia is developing an array of new nuclear and conventional weapons to counter recent moves by the U.S. and NATO, but will carefully weigh the costs to avoid overburdening its economy, President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday.

Addressing a Kremlin meeting on weapons modernization plans, Putin said the West shouldn’t be surprised about Moscow’s efforts in view of U.S. missile defense plans and other decisions he said have threatened Russia’s security.

“We have warned many times that we would have to take corresponding countermeasures to ensure our security,�

Putin said, adding that he would now take personal charge of the government commission that oversees military industries.

He said the weapons modernization program for 2016-25 should focus on building a new array of offensive weapons to provide a “guaranteed nuclear deterrent,� rearming strategic and longrange aviation, creating an aerospace defense system and developing highprecision conventional weapons.

Putin wouldn’t provide any details of prospective weapons, but he and other officials have repeatedly boasted about new Russian nuclear missiles’ capability to penetrate any prospective missile shield.

Putin’s emphasis on high-precision

conventional weapons reflects government concerns about the U.S. and other NATO countries enjoying a significant edge in that area.

Putin said potential threats must be thoroughly analyzed, and an “adequate response� given to each of them to avoid excessive military spending.

He said that Russian defense industries must rid themselves of dependence on imports and quickly become capable of producing key components at home — a nod at recent Western sanctions against Russia barring arms sales.

Russia-West relations have plunged to their lowest point since the Cold War times over the crisis in Ukraine. A NATO summit last week decided to create a rapid-reaction “spearhead� force to protect Eastern Europe from Russian bullying. Putin accused the West of using the crisis to reinvigorate NATO.

Russian President Vladimir Putin meets Sept. 5 with Altai region acting governor in the city of GornoAltaisk, Siberia, Russia. Putin announced Wednesday plans to build up nuclear weapons capacity.

Russian troops leave Ukraine MOSCOW — Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Wednesday that Russia had pulled back about 70 percent of the troops who Ukraine said had crossed the border. It was not possible to confirm his claim. The ceasefire, meanwhile, appeared largely to hold despite sporadic clashes.

Poroshenko also said that rebel-held areas in eastern Ukraine could be granted greater autonomy, but proRussian separatists repeated demands for full independence. Poroshenko made his remarks to his cabinet in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev. He asked help to preserve the peace in eastern Ukraine.

Weapons watchdog: Chlorine used in Syria

By Mike Corder The Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A toxic chemical, almost certainly chlorine, was used “systematically and repeatedly� as a weapon in attacks on villages in northern Syria earlier this year, the global chemical weapons watchdog said Wednesday.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said that a report by a fact-finding mission it sent to Syria based its conclusion on dozens of interviews with victims, physicians, eye-witnesses and others.

The report does not apportion blame for the chlorine attacks on three villages in northern Syria, OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan said.

A copy of the full report obtained by The Associated Press says that witnesses generally linked the chlorine attacks to helicopter-borne barrel bombs, but said the helicopters were flying too high for them to see any identifying markings on the aircraft.

Both sides in Syria’s conflict blame one another for using chlorine, but dropping heavy explosives from helicopters is a tactic

often blamed on forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Human Rights Watch said in May that it had strong evidence that in April this year Syrian army helicopters dropped bombs containing chlorine on the

same rebel-held villages mentioned by the OPCW report.

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the report’s findings “corroborate allegations that the Assad regime is continuing to use chemical weapons in Syria, in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.�

The OPCW report blamed the chemical attacks for at least 13 deaths and dozens of injuries.

The report said witnesses described “a dense, honey wax-to-yellow hue towards the center of the cloud rising from the impact of the devices.�

Those exposed to the cloud suffered symptoms including burning or itchy eyes, a burning sensation on their skin and in their throats and a feeling of suffocation, nausea, disorientation and loss of consciousness. “All [witnesses] described the toxic chemical smell as being very strong, irritating, and of ‘chlorine,’ � the report said.

The OPCW said the fact finding mission would continue its work as there was “a spate of new allegations� of chlorine attacks in Syria in August.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of committing a “double war crime� for indiscriminately firing thousands of rockets against Israeli towns and cities and for operating from within heavily populated areas of Gaza, using its own civilians, Netanhayu asserted, as a “human shield.�

Responding to the international scrutiny, the army’s legal counselors say they have become more involved in recent years in operational activity before and during military attacks on Gaza, as well as in the aftermath.

An Israeli public commission that examined Israel’s mechanisms for dealing with claims of violations of the laws of armed conflict, led by a retired Supreme Court judge, concluded last year that the Israeli military’s system generally complied with the requirements of international law.

Critics have called into question the military’s ability to investigate itself.

Two Israeli human rights organizations, Btselem and Yesh Din, described the military law enforcement system as “a complete failure� in a statement issued this week.

Citing what they called structural flaws that precluded investigation of policy issues or breaches of law by senior ranking military officials, Btselem said it was breaking with its previous practice concerning military investigations in Gaza and was rejecting a request from the military advocate’s office for information regarding “irregular� incidents that occurred during the recent conflict.

Hunt: Obama will not send ground troops Continued from Page A-1

Islamic State is not an unstoppable juggernaut

By Zeina Karam and Vivian Salama The Associated Press

BEIRUT — The Islamic State group is often described as the most fearsome jihadi outfit of all: a global menace outweighing al-Qaida, with armies trembling before its advance.

But while the group has been successful at seizing parts of Iraq and Syria, it is no unstoppable juggernaut. Lacking the major weaponry of an established military, it wields outsize influence through the fanaticism of a hard core of several thousand, capitalizing on divisions among its rivals, and disseminating terrifying videos on social media.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday outlined plans for an expanded military and political effort to combat the group in Syria and Iraq, ushering in what is likely to be a long-term engagement by the U.S. and its allies to destroy the militants in those countries.

It is useful to remember, though, that while it is a formidable force that controls roughly a third of Iraq and Syria, there also has been an inclination to exaggerate the group’s capabilities.

“I think sometimes there’s been a tendency to sort of overestimate the technical sophistication of the Islamic State,” said Charles Lister, visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center.

Lister, like many other analysts, said much of the power of the Islamic State group — also known by the acronyms ISIS or ISIL — lies in its centralization of command and intense loyalty within the organization.

That distinguishes the group from others, which are overstretched by years of conflict.

In the case of the Syrian rebels, there are deep divisions that have hampered their cause.

Militants from the Islamic State group have waged an aggressive social media campaign. They have released statements with detailed information on conquests and battles, and posted high-quality videos that often provide visual proof of their activities in regions that have suffered a media vacuum recently as the risks have become too great for journalists.

In Syria, two American journalists were beheaded by the group in the past month. The killings, posted on militant websites, were shot in high definition, featured embedded soundbites from Obama, and used wireless microphones to amplify statements from the masked, English-speaking militant and his victims.

According to a senior Iraqi intelligence official, more than 27,600 Islamic State fighters are believed to be operating in Iraq, about 2,600 of whom are foreigners.

Most analysts, however, estimate the number of Islamic State fighters in both Iraq and Syria to be about 20,000.

In any case, the group is dwarfed by its foes in the Syrian and Iraqi armies — both in numbers and firepower.

The Iraqi military and police force are estimated at more than 1 million. The Syrian army is estimated at 300,000 soldiers. There are believed to be more than 100,000 Syrian rebels, including the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front and the powerful Islamic Front rebel umbrella group, currently fighting the Islamic State group in Syria. Tens of thousands of Kurdish Peshmerga forces are fighting the group in Iraq.

The Islamic State group’s greatest shortcoming is that it lacks effective means to fight airpower, meaning that U.S. airstrikes can go a long way in destroying its capabilities.

Still, the Islamic State group has amassed a significant amount of weapons and hard-

ware captured from Iraqi and Syrian military installations in recent months.

The Iraqi official, who declined to be identified because he is not authorized to brief the media, told The Associated Press that the group’s arsenal includes Kalashnikovs, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and mortars, adding that they also have about 35 Iraqi military tanks, about 80 armored police vehicles and hundreds of Humvees.

In addition to those, the group earlier this year paraded in its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa what appeared to be a Scud missile, although it is unclear if the group has the capability to launch it.

Richard Brennan, an Iraq expert with RAND Corporation and a former U.S. Department of Defense policymaker, said the Islamic State group has captured 155mm howitzers — artillery weapons the Iraqi army commanded. It also captured some old Soviet-era tanks. They also seized some heavy weapons, including 50-caliber machine guns.

The group has a few MiG 21s captured when it overran the Syrian army’s air base in Tabqa last month. Analysts say it is extremely unlikely that they could get any of them off the ground at this point.

“It’s a very nice thing for them to be able to show in the video.

But for now, we’re unlikely to see an Islamic State air force anytime soon, or even just one working jet,” Lister said.

A study released this week by the London-based Conflict Armament Research said Islamic State group fighters have also amassed weapons supplied by the U.S. and other allied countries, including anti-tank rockets, by overrunning stocks belonging to mainstream Syrian rebels.

Theodore Karasik, a security and political affairs analyst at the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, estimated the Islamic State can claim about 20,000 core fighters, and up to 30,000, if allied Sunni tribesman are included.

Islamic State militants have shown the ability to operate commercially available drones, such as one that provided video over Islamic State groupoccupied Fallujah.

Perhaps just as important as what the group has acquired is its technical know-how, according to Karasik.

“The main fact is they are very smart and they probably read every manual that the U.S. has put out on air doctrine and special operations doctrine, so they know what’s coming,” he said.

Among the group’s most significant capabilities to emerge in the last six weeks or so, Lister said, has been the group’s ability to deploy artillery.

The group has acquired M46 130mm field cannons from bases overrun recently in Syria’s Raqqa province. These weapons add to the U.S. M198 howitzers the group captured in Iraq.

“Those are quite significant in terms of adding to the organization’s ability to bombard targets before they assault, and that does appear to have been fairly significant in terms of at least weakening a target before launching a ground assault,” he said.

A recent report published by the Institute for the Study of War described the Islamic State group as “an institution comprised of many layers of tactical, operational, and strategic capability, and it is expertly led.”

“ISIS has a critical capability to design military campaigns that outmatch those of rival militaries in Iraq and Syria, but those military strategies can be overmatched by U.S. strategists, planners and advisers,” it added.

tive name for the Islamic State.

The president took pains to distinguish between the military action he was putting in motion and the two wars begun by his predecessor, President George W. Bush. He likened this campaign to the targeted airstrikes that the United States has carried out for several years against suspected terrorists in Yemen and Somalia, few of them ever made public.

After enduring harsh criticism for saying in a news conference two weeks ago that he did not have a strategy for dealing with the Islamic State in Syria, Obama sketched out a plan that will involve heightened American training and arming of moderate Syrian rebels to fight the militants. Saudi Arabia has agreed to provide bases for the training of those forces.

The White House has asked Congress to authorize the plan to train and equip rebels — something the CIA has been doing covertly and on a much smaller scale — but Obama said he already had the authority necessary to expand the broader campaign.

“These American forces will not have a combat mission — we will not get dragged into another ground war in Iraq,” Obama pledged, adding that the broader mission he was outlining for American military forces

“will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; it will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.”

For all his efforts to reassure the public, Obama’s remarks were a stark admission of the threat posed by the militants, whose lightning rampage through Iraq and Syria and videotaped beheading of two young Americans has reignited fears of radical terrorism.

The president’s remarks, on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, will thrust the United States into a civil war in Syria that he had long sought to avoid, and return the country to a significant military presence in Iraq, from which Obama withdrew the last American combat soldiers at the end of 2011.

The president’s speech came after a frenzied effort to line up the support of partners worldwide to combat the Islamic State. Earlier on Wednesday, Obama called King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia to enlist his support for a plan to bolster the training and equipping of moderate Syrian rebels.

“The president and the king agreed on the need for increased training and equipping of the moderate Syrian opposition,” the White House said in an unusually extensive briefing for reporters about the call. “President Obama welcomed Saudi Arabia’s support for this program.”

Obama is acting against a backdrop of rapidly shifting public opinion as polls show that a large majority of Americans now favor military action against the Islamic State group, even as they express deep misgivings about the president’s leadership on the world stage.

Obama is also facing political challenges on Capitol Hill, where Republicans lawmakers, initially reluctant to demand congressional authorization of military action, have begun agitating for a vote at the same time that some Democrats are warning of a stampede to war.

But Senate Democratic leaders on Wednesday prepared legislation to expressly authorize the U.S. military to train Syrian rebels. House Republicans appeared ready to follow their lead.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the House majority leader, abruptly called off a vote on a stopgap spending bill that was planned for Thursday to reconsider Obama’s request that language be included authorizing the training of the rebels. The president called the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Harold Rogers of Kentucky, to plead his case.

The flurry of activity means that Congress is likely to weigh in on the looming military action before the midterm elections in eight weeks.

Long: Roots of conflict go back decades Continued from Page A-1 terrorists, including the Taliban and alQaida, as well as offshoots in Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere.

Indeed, some analysts say the conflict dates back further, citing such incidents as the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York and the 1983 bombing that killed 241 U.S. servicemen at a barracks in Lebanon. Military historian Max Boot suggests the starting point was the Iranian revolution of 1979, when the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was seized and its staff held hostage for 444 days.

“For the first time, we understood the threat by armed Islamist extremism,” said Boot, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and former adviser to Republican presidential campaigns. “We didn’t face up to it — we tried to ignore it as long as possible. But after 9/11, we couldn’t ignore it anymore.”

The Sept. 11 attacks triggered the invasion of Afghanistan by the U.S. and its allies, starting in October 2001, with the aim of dismantling al-Qaida’s base of operations and toppling the Taliban regime.

The Taliban, though quickly ousted from power, has been waging an insurgency ever since.

In 2003, the U.S. spearheaded an invasion of Iraq, citing various justifications but nonetheless categorizing the conflict as part of “the Global War on Terrorism.” Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was captured, tried and executed, yet an insurgency arose against the U.S.-led coalition waged by various factions, including al-Qaida affiliates and Sunni militants who were precursors of the Islamic State group.

Obama’s plans for an expanded mission against Islamic State fighters are expected to include intensified airstrikes but no major deployment of ground troops, along with a heavy reliance on allies. The role of Middle East nations could be pivotal, said Wathiq al-Hashimi, director of the al-Nahrein Center for Strategic Studies in Baghdad.

“The United States failed in both Afghanistan and Iraq, but this time round may be different since the Islamic State is posing a serious danger to close U.S. allies in the region who cannot defend themselves on their own,” al-Hashimi said. “The United States will be going in this time with the blessing of regional powers.”

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Washington-based Council on AmericanIslamic Relations, contends that much of the Middle East’s conflicts could have been avoided or eased if the U.S. government had been less willing to tolerate authoritarian regimes and more willing to criticize Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians.

Hooper said the Islamic State group’s ascension in Iraq could have been prevented if the U.S. had insisted on a nonsectarian Iraqi government, rather than the one led by recently replaced Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that favored Shiite Muslims over the Sunnis. Similarly, Hooper said the U.S. could have deprived Islamic State of its strongholds in Syria by intervening early in Syria’s civil war on behalf of moderate rebels opposing President Bashar Assad.

“Our counterproductive policies have

created a political vacuum in which ISIS can flourish,” said Hooper, using an acronym for the Islamic State group. “Without massive injustices in the region, they would not exist.”

James Jay Carafano, a national security expert with the conservative Heritage Foundation, offered a contrasting analysis, blaming Obama for “taking his foot off the pedal” by withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011 and thereby emboldening Islamic State fighters.

Back in 2003, Carafano published a commentary titled, “The Long War Against Terrorism” in which he urged Americans to brace for a sustained struggle.

“Such a war requires our leaders to understand that our staying power, our will to win, is as important as any weapon in our arsenal,” he wrote.

However weary of war, the American

public is willing to back aggressive, longterm engagements overseas, Carafano argued in a telephone interview this week.

“All our conflicts start out popular, but only World War II stayed that way,” Carafano said. “People gradually get less excited over time.

“But Americans are relatively practical people,” he added. “If you’re doing the right thing and it’s working, they’ll be with you.”

Looking ahead, experts familiar with the Middle East say it’s hard to foresee a total victory for the U.S. and its allies any time soon. Elliott Abrams, for example, noted that many hundreds of young people from the West were eager to join the Islamic State group, enabling it to replenish its ranks and gird for a long struggle.

“It’s clear that the Americans have made up their minds to get involved in what is likely to be an open-ended war,” said Hilal Khashan, professor of political science at the American University of Beirut. “The Americans know how to start a war, but not to end one.”

“The Americans’ intervention is selective: They invaded Iraq but left Iran alone, they are leaving Israel to do as it pleases in Gaza, they are leaving the Syrian regime to kill its people,” Khashan added. “And whenever they intervene, they just make things worse.

They may destroy the Islamic State, but what happens to the problems in Iraq and Syria?”

Daniel Byman, research director at the Brookings Institution’s Center for Middle East Policy, said he prefers the term “manageable” over “winnable” as a goal in trying to counter threats from the region’s extremists and terrorists.

“There’s no clear victory point when the enemy gives up,” Byman said. “There’s likely to be some level of terrorism, but it can’t be to the point where it disrupts our lives in some fundamental way.”

Max Boot suggested the overall conflict was winnable — but only through a longterm struggle comparable to the Cold War. “This radical, armed Islamism will burn itself out,” he said. “The problem is an awful lot of people who will die between now and then.”

Terrorists talked of entering U.S. through Mexico

By Nicole Gaouette Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Islamic State extremists have discussed infiltrating the United States through its border with Mexico, a U.S. official said Wednesday.

Francis Taylor, under secretary for intelligence and analysis at the Department of Homeland Security, told a Senate committee Wednesday that the Sunni militants have been tracked discussing the idea on social media sites such as Twitter.

“There have been Twitter and social media exchanges among ISIL adherents across the globe speaking about that as

a possibility,” Taylor said. Islamic State is also known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS. Referring to the 1,933-mile boundary with Mexico, Taylor said he was “satisfied that we have the intelligence and the capability at our border that would prevent that activity.”

Taylor’s comments before the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee came hours before President Barack Obama outlined in a speech plans to expand the U.S. offensive against the Islamic State.

Taylor said the security of the U.S.’s Southwest border remains a high concern for his department, and that Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has ordered

“a comprehensive southern border security strategy that will include national security risks to border.”

Officials testifying before the committee said that Islamic State poses the greatest threat to U.S. interests in Iraq and within the region. At the moment, Islamic State’s ability to develop significant, large-scale attacks diminishes with distance from Syria and Iraq, said Nicholas Rasmussen, deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

“We do not assess right now they have the capability to mount an effective largescale attack on the United States,” Rasmussen said.

School: District counts on extra help

U.K. leaders rush to fend off Scottish independence The Associated Press

The district now has an educator in each school who works as a volunteer liaison, ensuring volunteers have the proper paperwork filled out and an identification badge. They also help match that volunteer with a classroom. Volunteers can ask to work at a certain school — most choose to connect with a school close to their home — or ask for certain grade levels or subjects, based on their expertise.

But as veteran volunteer Joni Brenneisen put it, “You might think you want to help students read and end up wanting to be in Cooking [With] Kids.”

Volunteers are needed in almost all of the schools and within many of the organizations that work in the schools.

Some pop in for an hour a week, while others are there every day.

About 75 percent are parents, according to many teachers and experienced volunteers.

Chaparral Elementary School

teacher Alicia Rivera — who is the volunteer liaison at her school — said volunteers can conduct reading drills with groups of students, allowing the teacher to spend some one-onone time with other kids. She said volunteers and teachers will generally meet first to discuss the needs of the classroom and how things are run.

One-time volunteers — a parent who wants to volunteer for a single field trip each semester or a professional who offers to conduct a workshop or lecture — do not have to adhere to the new requirements. But they are required to sign in and wear a visitor’s pass.

Those interested in volunteering should first visit their school of choice and talk to the principal and teachers, Rivera said.

Sandra Sena, volunteer liaison at Sweeney, said, “Go into the school, observe and acclimate to it and see what type of envi-

ronment you are walking into.”

She said principals will help potential volunteers seeking guidance.

As for the $44, Superintendent Joel Boyd, who greeted the volunteers Wednesday night, said the district must follow state requirements for background checks but said district officials are discussing how to alleviate the cost for parents.

In some cases, volunteers said, a Parent Teacher Association, church group or other organization will pick up the cost to help encourage more involvement in the schools.

Marge Wilson, a second-year volunteer at Sweeney, said it’s worth the trouble when she sees “a kid’s face light up when he ‘gets’ it. A light bulb goes off.

They’re great kids.”

nothing in state law to allow a question to be put to voters that does not ask them to make a decision, such as whether or not to approve a constitutional amendment, a bond issue or a question involving the contracting of debt or taxation.

Duran said if such questions are allowed on the ballot, commissions, councils and boards around the state will be adding to the cost of elections by using the ballot to take polls, and significant questions about public policy “will be squeezed out of the electoral process.”

“As Secretary of State, if I were to place such extra-legal issues on the ballot then I would be taking an active role in accepting this kind of use of the ballot as lawful and appropriate, both statutorily and constitutionally,” Duran said in a statement.

“I cannot in good conscience … acquiesce to such a course of action I believe to be contrary to the laws and the constitution of the State of New Mexico,” she said.

Ozone: CFC levels decreased under pact Continued from Page A-1 “It’s a victory for diplomacy and for science and for the fact that we were able to work together,” said chemist Mario Molina. In 1974, Molina and F. Sherwood Rowland wrote a scientific study forecasting the ozone depletion problem. They won the 1995 Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work.

The ozone layer had been thinning since the late 1970s.

Man-made chlorofluorocarbons, called CFCs, released chlorine and bromine, which destroyed ozone molecules high in the air.

After scientists raised the alarm, countries around the world agreed to a treaty in 1987 that phased out CFCs. Levels of those chemicals between 30 and 50 miles up are decreasing.

The U.N. calculated in an earlier report that without the pact, by 2030 there would have been an extra 2 million skin cancer cases a year around the world.

Paradoxically, heat-trapping greenhouse gases — considered the major cause of global warming — are also helping to rebuild the ozone layer, Newman said.

The report said rising levels of carbon dioxide and other gases cool the upper stratosphere, and the cooler air increases the amount of ozone.

And in another worrisome trend, the chemicals that replaced CFCs contribute to global warming and are on the rise, said MIT atmospheric scientist Susan Solomon. At the moment, they don’t make much of a dent, but they are expected

The days of just walking in and helping out in the classroom — even if you are a parent — are over.

to increase dramatically by 2050 and make “a big contribution” to global warming.

The ozone layer is still far from healed. The long-lasting, ozone-eating chemicals still lingering in the atmosphere create a yearly fall ozone hole above the extreme Southern Hemisphere, and the hole hasn’t closed up.

Also, the ozone layer is still about 6 percent thinner than in 1980, by Newman’s calculations.

Ozone levels are “on the upswing, but it’s not there yet,” he said.

Achim Steiner, executive director of the U.N. Environment Program, said there are encouraging signs that the ozone layer “is on track to recovery by the middle of this century.”

Steiner called the effort to get rid of ozone-destroying substances “one of the great success

stories of international collective action in addressing a global environmental change phenomenon.”

“More than 98 percent of the ozone-depleting substances agreed over time have actually been phased out,” he said. If not for such efforts, Steiner said, “we would be seeing a very substantial global ozone depletion today.”

Paul Wapner, a professor of global environmental politics at American University, said the findings are “good news in an often dark landscape” and send a message of hope to world leaders meeting later this month in New York for a U.N. climate summit.

“The precedent is truly important because society is facing another serious global environmental problem, namely climate change,” said Molina, a professor

By Kimberly Hefling The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Rosemary Anderson could be 81 by the time she pays off her student loans. After struggling with divorce, health problems and an underwater home mortgage, the 57-year-old anticipates there could come a day when her Social Security benefits will be docked to make the payments.

Like Anderson, a growing percentage of aging Americans struggle to pay back their student debt. Tens of thousands of them even see their Social Security benefits garnished when they cannot do so.

Among Americans ages 65 to 74, 4 percent in 2010 carried federal student loan debt, up from 1 percent six years earlier, according to a Government Accountability Office report released Wednesday at a Senate Aging Committee hearing. For all

seniors, the collective amount of student loan debt grew from about $2.8 billion in 2005 to about $18.2 billion Rosemary last year.

Anderson Student debt for all ages totals $1 trillion.

“Some may think of student loan debt as just a young person’s problem,” said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., chairman of the committee. “Well, as it turns out, that’s increasingly not the case.”

Anderson, of Watsonville, Calif., amassed $64,000 in student loans, beginning in her 30s, as she worked toward her undergraduate and graduate degrees. She said she has worked multiple jobs — she’s now at the University of California, Santa Cruz — to pay off credit card debt and has renegotiated terms of her home mortgage, but hasn’t been able to make a student loan payment in eight years.

The amount she now owes has ballooned to $126,000.

“I find it very ironic that I incurred this debt as a way to improve my life, and yet I still sit here today because the debt has become my undoing,” Anderson testified.

Despite not making payments, she’s managed to keep the education debt in good standing by getting permission to defer the payments even as the amount she owes has grown, she said.

Ed Boltz, a bankruptcy attorney in Durham, N.C., who is president of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, said in an interview that many of the seniors he sees with student loan debt are also struggling with challenges such a medical problems, job loss or divorce. Some, he said, went back to school with hopes of making a higher salary and that didn’t pan out, or the children they helped fund to attend school are not in a position to help the parent in return.

“They are stuck with these debts and they can’t try again,” Boltz said. “There’s no second act for them.”

The GAO found that about

80 percent of the student loan debt by seniors was for their own education while the rest was taken out for their children or other dependents.

It said federal data showed that seniors were more likely to default on loans for themselves compared with those they took out for their children.

It’s unclear when the loans originated, although the GAO noted that the time period to pay back such debt can range from a decade to 25 years. That means some older Americans could have taken out the loans when they were younger and they’ve accumulated with interest, or got them later in life — such as workers who enrolled in college after a layoff in the midst of the economic downturn.

The GAO found that about a quarter of loans held by seniors ages 65 to 74 were in default. The number of older Americans who had their Social Security benefits offset to pay student loan debt increased about fivefold, from 31,000 to 155,000, from 2002 to 2013.

Regional airlines fight to survive Former hubs lose flights, struggle to make profit

By David Koenig The Associated Press

DALLAS — For passengers traveling between smaller cities and large hub airports, the ticket may say Delta, American or United, but they’re likely flying on a regional airline whose planes are painted in the major carrier’s colors.

This arrangement helps the big airlines pack their planes more cheaply and contributes to recent record profits.

It isn’t as wonderful for the regional airlines, however. Their profits are shrinking, costs are rising, and they’re having trouble finding enough pilots to work for the salaries they pay.

Consumers should be concerned. Fares could rise as regional airlines are forced to raise pilots’ pay. Aviation experts predict that some regional airlines may fail, which could lead to reduced service at smaller airports.

This week, an airline industry group said that 86 communities — from former hubs such as Cleveland and Memphis to small cities like Dickinson, N.D., and Hollis, Alaska — have lost at least 10 percent of their flights since last year. Regional airlines say the trend will get worse this winter and next year because of a pilot shortage.

About half of all passenger flights in the U.S. are operated by regional airlines.

The planes don’t say Republic, SkyWest or Mesa on the side — they are painted in the colors and logos of brands such as Delta Connection, American Eagle or United Express.

A decade ago, many of the regionals were earning steady profits. That began to change when several of the big airlines went through bankruptcy and rewrote their contracts with regional airlines to cap the small guys’ profit margins.

Regionals that boasted 20 percent profit margins in the late 1990s suddenly had their margins capped at around

12 percent, a level some don’t even reach, says Robert Mann, an airline-industry consultant.

The most successful regional airlines are still making money, but far less. SkyWest, which earned at least $110 million each year from 2005 through 2008, made just over $50 million each of the past two years. Republic earned about $80 million a year from 2006 through 2008, but earned just $26.7 million last year. It lost money in 2010 and 2011.

Many regional pilots look to move up to the bigger airlines — and better pay — after a few years. But with recession, the 9-11 attacks, retrenchment at the big airlines, and an increase in the pilot retirement age to 65, it turned into “a lost decade” of career stagnation, says William Sprague, a pilot for American’s Envoy Air subsidiary. He expected to spend five years at a regional; it has turned into 17.

Now American is shrinking Envoy’s fleet in a cost-cutting squeeze. “The

future of our carrier looks bleak. I’ve never seen morale lower,” says Sprague, who is also a union leader. He says many pilots are bolting for low-cost carriers like Spirit, Allegiant and Frontier, or even to fly corporate planes.

The regional airline industry may soon experience the kind of consolidation that thinned the ranks of the largest airlines between 2008 and the end of 2013.

Helane Becker, an analyst for Cowen and Co., says the regionals face a basic problem: Their fares are set by their contracts with big-airline patrons. That leaves them little control over revenue and limited ability to pass along higher costs.

“When fuel prices go up, the major airlines can raise ticket prices,” but the regionals must wait several years until they can re-negotiate their contracts with the major airlines, Becker says.

She recently predicted that Envoy and SkyWest’s ExpressJet unit could be shut down as the sector consolidates.

Campaigns use Facebook tool for targeted political ads

By Derek Willis The New York Times

Your Facebook profile doesn’t have boxes to check which political party you belong to or whether you voted in the last election. But political organizations that already know these things can now deliver Facebook ads to fit your political preferences.

At least two statewide campaigns have in the last year used the new tool, “Custom Managed Audiences,” to reach Facebook users who are registered voters or political supporters. Facebook says Terry McAuliffe’s election as Virginia governor in 2013 and this year’s re-election effort of Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, are examples of successful user targeting via voter lists. The company introduced the tool in February 2013 and recently upgraded its capabilities.

Linking the two isolated sets of data and teasing out information on voter prefer-

ences and opinions is a new front in microtargeting. Even smaller campaigns could use the technique to sway small but crucial sets of voters with specific messages. Facebook’s most notable achievement may be that it makes some of the sophisticated approaches used during the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns affordable to other kinds of political contests.

“I think it’s revolutionary and important to track,” said Michael Franz, an associate professor of government at Bowdoin College who has studied campaign advertising and voter turnout.

The ability to make these connections will become more important as campaigns seek ways to reach and influence voters where they increasingly spend time: on mobile devices connected to the Internet. Because online advertising can cost much less than other forms, such efforts

can be more efficient with a campaign’s money, too.

The “Custom Managed Audiences” tool works like this: A campaign or group uses its own list of potential voters (or buys one from a state authority or private vendor) and uploads it to Facebook.

The company then matches the names to its user base through databases managed by companies, such as Acxiom, that specialize in collecting information about individuals.

This process effectively combines the electoral information it already knows about voters with their Facebook profiles: likes, group memberships, issues or even favorites. The process anonymizes the users’ personal identifiers but retains enough information to enable campaigns to target welldefined groups.

While it targets advertising more precisely, the campaigns can also use it to raise money.

For Facebook users, this new

tool most likely means more political advertisements, but those ads could be directed to very specific interests or concerns.

In Cornyn’s primary race against Steve Stockman, a congressman, and two other opponents, the campaign used its voter list and Facebook information to identify more than 200,000 Texas Republicans on Facebook and place them into groups based on issues and behavior, said Josh Eboch, political director for the campaign. Members of those groups got targeted messages about issues such as gun rights and immigration.

Cornyn won the primary with 59 percent of the vote and is an overwhelming favorite to win a third term in November.

Federal Election Commission records show that Cornyn’s campaign has directly paid Facebook more than $77,000 since last year.

In brief Councilors OK free shuttles Students from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design will have a free ride to the downtown area starting Sept.

18, courtesy of city taxpayers.

The City Council voted 6-1 Wednesday to approve the free shuttle service between the university and downtown areas during the fall semester.

The shuttle service, which also will be available to the general public, will run from 6 to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday from the university to the Plaza and the Railyard.

The city plans to pay for the estimated $18,300 pilot project within the Transportation Department’s budget by using existing equipment and restructuring staff hours.

City Councilor Signe Lindell said she supports the concept but voted in opposition. Mayor Javier Gonzales, who proposed the pilot project, and City Councilor Bill Dimas were absent.

Police get OK for new vehicles The Santa Fe Police Department got the green light Wednesday to purchase 20 new police vehicles.

The City Council approved a request to spend $854,000 to buy the vehicles and related equipment, including sirens, dashboard cameras, computers, radios and scanners.

The vote was 6-1. City Councilor Signe Lindell cast the lone dissenting vote, saying she wasn’t “comfortable” with plans to purchase more expensive, gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles.

“I don’t think that it is prudent for us to increase our fleet by 10 SUVs,” she said. “I don’t have any problems with us getting 20 new cars. What I have a deep problem with is that we’re increasing the number of SUVs rather than purchasing sedans.”

Police Deputy Chief Mario Salbidrez said officers need the bigger vehicles to hold all their equipment.

As part of the council’s approval, councilors asked police brass to develop a vehicle replacement policy for the department within two months.

“I’ll be working directly with them,” City Manager Brian Snyder told councilors.

Council extends Plaza closures Two of the streets around the Plaza will be closed to vehicular traffic longer than originally planned.

The City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved a request by Mayor Javier Gonzales to extend the time that Lincoln Avenue and Old Santa Fe Trail will be blocked off to motorized traffic until the Monday after the International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, which runs Oct. 4 to 12.

The extension would give “residents and tourists alike … the opportunity to enjoy the Plaza Park through the Fall season,” according to the mayor’s resolution.

The plan approved by the City Council on June 25 called for blocking off the two streets from Memorial Day through the Fiesta de Santa Fe weekend.

Palace Avenue in front of the Palace of the Governors has been closed for years. San Francisco Street remains open.

Ex-Redflex CEO pleads not guilty CHICAGO — A former executive of a Phoenix-based company pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal corruption charges in an ongoing investigation of one of the nation’s largest red-light camera programs in Chicago.

Karen Finley, 54, the onetime CEO of Redflex Traffic Systems Inc., which also operated the speed SUV program in Santa Fe, pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Chicago, denying she funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and benefits to a retired Chicago official for his help in landing $124 million in

city contracts.

WBBM radio reported that U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall agreed to let Finley remain free on a $4,500 recognizance bond. Judge Kendall also ordered Finley’s husband — who shoots competitively — to secure his collection of guns.

Chicago awarded its first contract to Redflex in 2003 and then signed others later for the city’s first red-light enforcement program, which uses cameras to automatically record and ticket drivers who run red lights.

Finley, of Cave Creek, Ariz., was charged with multiple counts of fraud and bribery, and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery. A conviction on just one count of fraud carries a maximum 20-year prison term.

The retired city official, John Bills, faces multiple charges, including fraud, bribery and extortion. He has also pleaded not guilty.

Dumped Atari games in auction ALAMOGORDO — Some 800 Atari video games buried more than 30 years ago at a southeastern New Mexico landfill and dug up in April will be auctioned off soon.

Atari event organizer Joe Lewandowski told KRQE-TV that the market’s going to determine the price.

He says the Smithsonian and state and local museums have already expressed interest about acquiring some of the vintage games.

A group of archaeologists dug up thousands of unsold and returned ET game cartridges in an Alamogordo landfill. Atari reportedly buried its 1982 game after it was dubbed the worst video game ever made.

Alamogordo owns the games because they came from the city’s landfill.

City officials hope to start auctioning off the games in the next two weeks.

The games will come with a certificate of authenticity.

Rio Rancho gets 425 new jobs RIO RANCHO — Officials say Rio Rancho will get hundreds of additional jobs thanks to a new employer’s arrival in the Albuquerque suburb.

Gov. Susana Martinez participated Wednesday afternoon in a welcoming event for S&P Data LLC. The employer says it will hire 100 workers upfront and add another 325 over the next few years.

The company’s website says it provides customer support for Fortune 500 customers such as American Express, Apple and McDonalds.

Martinez says New Mexico is making strides in becoming more competitive within the business climate. She says the focus is to grow the state’s private-sector economy to reduce its reliance on what she described as a dysfunctional federal government.

Tribal probe ends without charges FARMINGTON — Federal authorities have reportedly closed an investigation for evidence of theft and embezzlement without filing any charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Mexico declined to discuss the investigation.

Spokeswoman Elizabeth Johnson says the office can’t comment on matters that aren’t on the public record.

However, Navajo Agricultural Products Industry lawyer Marc Lowry told The Daily Times of Farmington that his clients learned the FBI completed its investigation in August.

Lowry says no charges were filed because the allegations were unfounded.

The FBI searched the business in 2013. Agents seized travel-expense reports, credit card receipts, bank statements and other records.

NAPI is a sprawling agribusiness entity south of Farmington. It produces corn, soybeans and other crops. It markets its products under the Navajo Pride label.

STATE FAIR OPENS WITH FOCUS ON FUTURE

New indictment alleges civil rights, firearms violations

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

The U.S. Attorney’s Office has amended its indictment against Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella, eliminating three of the original five charges, according to court papers filed Wednesday.

Instead of the initial fivecount indictTommy ment filed in Rodella August, which is nullified, Rodella now faces two charges: He is accused of depriving a man of his rights and of brandishing a firearm.

The new indictment alleges Rodella violated the civil rights of a 26-year-old Española man in March by assaulting him with a pistol during a road-rage incident. The previous indictment had also accused Rodella of conspiracy to violate a motorist’s civil rights and two counts of falsifying arrest documents.

Robert Gorence, Rodella’s attorney, said the new indictment shows the federal case against his client is “half-baked, half-cocked and now half-dismissed.”

“I am confident of a jury acquittal once the truth is presented,” Gorence said.

Rodella has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and a trial is set for Sept. 22.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the newly filed indictment.

Also, prosecutors filed an amended court document alleging a third victim, not including the Española man, has come forward saying she was subjected to an “unlawful stop” by the sheriff. Two other alleged victims have said Rodella displayed road rage during their traffic stops, court documents say.

The amended document gives the following account: In August 2013, Lisa Gonzales and her husband were traveling southbound on U.S. 285 when Rodella was tailgating them in an unmarked pickup. Rodella, in plain clothes, eventually turned on the pickup’s emergency lights, indicating he wanted Gonzales’ husband, the driver, to pull over.

The husband didn’t pull over immediately because there was no safe spot to do so. Rodella pulled up alongside Gonzales’ vehicle and yelled an explicit, ordering the couple to pull over.

When the couple eventually pulled over, Rodella asked why they didn’t pull over sooner.

Gonzales’ husband told Rodella he didn’t stop because it wasn’t safe to do so on that part of the road. The husband handed Rodella his driver’s license and registration, and the sheriff said, “You don’t speed in my county.”

Group sues Forest Service over Jemez salamander

Divided council gives Taos airport runway green light

WildEarth Guardians sued the Santa Fe National Forest on Wednesday in federal court over habitat for the endangered Jemez Mountains salamander.

The nonprofit group based in Santa Fe said the Forest Service has failed to protect the salamander’s habitat from motorized vehicles, despite a new travel management plan that greatly restricts where people can drive dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles.

The plan limits motorized travel to 2,463 miles of trails, roads and camping areas. The Forest Service closed more than 4,000 miles of trails and roads to public motorized travel.

WildEarth Guardians said too many of the trails and roads still put salamander habitat at risk. The group is asking the court for an injunction to prevent motorized vehicles from using trails in portions of the Santa Fe National Forest within salamander habitat in the Jemez Mountains.

A sharply divided Taos City Council voted Tuesday to move forward with the construction of a new runway at the Taos Regional Airport. Councilors Judi Cantú and Fritz Hahn voted against the proposal. Councilors Andrew Gonzáles and Fred Peralta voted in favor. Mayor Dan Barrone broke the tie, according to The Taos News.

For decades, the town has been attempting to build a second runway at the airport, but the project was stalled because of opposition from Taos Pueblo. Tribal officials finally gave the project their blessing in 2012, and the town was poised to break ground this fall.

Supporters, including pilots and emergency personnel, say the project will improve safety at the high-altitude airport and help economic development in the region.

But six county residents — including writer John Nichols, author of the Milagro Beanfield War — have already filed a lawsuit in state District Court saying the town failed to abide by the county’s landuse regulations, depriving adjacent landowners their right to weigh in on the project details. The suit asks a judge to halt the project until the town jumps through the proper hoops for zoning approval.

King stands by statement over Martinez’s ‘lack of Latino heart’ Roswell Republican calls for apology, but Democratic challenger says comments aren’t racist

By Barry Massey The Associated Press

Democratic gubernatorial challenger Gary King said Wednesday he’s not apologizing for saying at a recent fundraiser that Republican Gov. Susana Martinez “does not have a Latino heart.”

King said in an interview that his remarks were intended to point out that the governor’s policies are contrary to values held by many Hispanic families in New Mexico.

“I certainly didn’t perceive it as racist. I perceived it as saying that we have a lot of wonderful things in New Mexico and that the governor Gary King is driving us down a road to a place where we don’t want to be,” King said.

Martinez’s veto of a minimumwage increase and other policies indicate “she does not have a kind heart,” he said in the interview.

King’s fundraiser comments came to light after a video was posted on the website of a conservative magaSusana zine, The Weekly Standard.

Martinez Martinez, who is the nation’s first female Hispanic governor, said in a statement, “I’m not sure what Gary King meant by what he said, so I’m not going to accuse him of racism. We certainly have different views on the issues, but I know what’s in my heart and I won’t question what’s in his.”

State Rep. Nora Espinoza, a Roswell Republican, said, “King’s comments are insulting and unacceptable to all Hispanics, and he should apologize for them.”

King made his comments at a Saturday fundraiser in Belen, a community near Albuquerque.

In the online video, King referred to civil rights activist Dolores Huerta, a co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America, saying that Huerta “said you can’t go out there and just vote for somebody for governor because they have a Latino surname. She said you have to look at them and find out if they have a Latino heart.

“And we know that Susana Martinez does not have a Latino heart,” King said at the fundraiser.

King said in the telephone interview that the video clip didn’t include the rest of his remarks, in which he told the audience that he had a “New Mexico heart.”

Martinez vetoed a measure last year that would have raised the minimum wage from $7.50 to $8.50 an hour. But Martinez has expressed support for an increase to at least $7.80 and potentially $8 an hour. King backs a wage increase to at least $10.10 an hour.

King trails Martinez in the governor’s race, according to a poll last month by the Albuquerque Journal.

The survey found that 36 percent of Hispanic voters backed Martinez. That’s a strong showing for a Republican in a state where most Hispanic voters typically support Democrats in statewide races.

Maurilio Vigil, a retired political science professor at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, N.M., said some New Mexicans may consider King’s comments “kind of like race-baiting.” But he doubted the remarks would damage King, a two-term attorney general and son of New Mexico’s longest-serving governor, the late Bruce King.

“They know Gary King. They know his parents.

They remember. It’s not going to cloud their perception of him as being racist or not,” Vigil said.

Gabriel Sanchez, a University of New Mexico political science professor, said, “Some people might be uncomfortable with an Anglo politician questioning a Hispanic individual’s identity.”

Sanchez said, “I think there is a pretty small segment of the Hispanic population who may feel it was a racist comment. I think there is probably a wider segment who is just not comfortable with the tone of the comment, but maybe not feel it was ultimately offensive or racist.”

storms that pelted the region. The stormwater washed coal tailings and debris into businesses and yards.

The New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division’s Abandoned Mine Land Program helped the town construct temporary stormwater protections along slopes and an eroded arroyo near a bridge shortly after the floods. Recent work has focused on installing more permanent structures such as lining arroyos with rocks, building drop structures to slow floodwaters and installing precast concrete barriers to control erosion and divert stormwater. The most recent work was completed by contractor Rangeland Hands.

Coalition plans to sue over lack of wolf recovery plan ALBUQUERQUE — A coalition of environmental groups is planning to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over the agency’s failure to craft and implement a valid recovery plan for the endangered Mexican gray wolf.

The groups say it has been nearly four decades since the Mexican wolves were listed, and the agency has yet to develop a plan that spells outs measurable goals for recovering the population in the American Southwest. Without the guidance of such a plan, the groups allege that federal wildlife managers have at times impeded the recovery of wolves in New Mexico and Arizona.

Democrat in legislative race accuses write-in rival Jeff of faulty finance report

State Rep. Sandra Jeff, D-Crownpoint, has more than $26,000 in campaign contributions that are not accounted for in campaign finance reports, according to an ethics complaint filed this week by the Democrat running for Jeff’s seat.

According to the campaign of Doreen Johnson of Gallup, Jeff’s report filed July 3 showed a closing balance of $11,718.

But the report filed by Jeff on Monday shows an opening balance of $37,786 — a difference of $26,067.

Jeff filed an amended report for July. In the newer version, she lists a “loan contribution” of $26,720 from the Gallagher & Kennedy law firm of Santa Fe. The report indicates that was a “Campaign Debt for legal fees incurred.”

September. She has $13,362 in the bank as of Sept. 1. Johnson’s biggest contributors were unions — the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the American Federation of Teachers, which each gave her $1,000.

Jeff reported only one contribution since late June, $500 from the New Mexico Dental PAC. She spent only $1,237, all for gas and food. Jeff’s report says her closing balance is just over $37,000, though it’s not clear whether that includes the debt to the Gallagher & Kennedy law firm.

Although Jeff’s new report showed very little campaign activity, King said Johnson isn’t taking the race for granted. “We expect to see a lot of Republican money come in during the last weeks of the campaign,” he said.

Open-admission shelters get help from new PBS series

By Sue Manning The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES ny animal can end up at a public shelter, but most of them won’t stay long. There, millions of dogs and cats face euthanasia, driving one filmmaker to turn his camera into a lifesaver.

Workers at several of the shelters, where no animal is turned away, say pets have a champion in Steven Latham, who directs and produces a PBS series called Shelter Me, featuring animals that are running out of time. Seeing the urgency, he took his efforts a step further, starting a website, helping set up adoption events and coordinating flights full of pooches to cities able to get them adopted.

“The pets at open admission shelters need our help the most,” said Latham, who has made other documentary films and series for PBS and Netflix.

With thousands of public shelters nationwide and just as many no-kill rescues and other animal welfare groups, finding loving homes for pets has become a battleground. Latham believes pets at public shelters should get priority, underscoring the intense competition that exists between the no-kill movement and shelters that euthanize.

Latham’s Shelter Me series, presented by Ellen DeGeneres’ natural pet food company — Halo, Purely for Pets — has filmed several shelter animals that became service, therapy and

search-and-rescue dogs, or just good pets. Each documentary episode tells two or three stories.

Episode 4, Shelter Me: New Beginnings, is scheduled to premiere in Los Angeles on Oct. 8 and features volunteers in Idaho welcoming a plane packed with shelter dogs from Southern California. It also shows a trainer teaching shelters how to hold play groups for pooches. The next episode is tentatively set for February 2015.

Before the first episode of

In brief Edgewood hosts animal adoptions, festival The Santa Fe animal shelter will be joining dozens of shelters and rescue groups from throughout the state for the third annual Woofstock in Edgewood on Saturday.

Edgewood Animal Control’s annual pet expo and adoption festival has evolved into a fun-filled day for the entire community, honoring the special bond between humans and their furry companions, organizers said.

In addition to dozens of dogs, cats and horses available for adoption, the festival features a low-cost vaccination clinic provided by Joyce Lloyd Veterinary, along with a community vendors, animal demonstrations, food, live music and family friendly activities.

Woofstock runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 13, at the Edgewood Athletic Complex, 503 N.M. 344. It is free and open to the public, with plenty of free parking available.

the series aired in March 2012, Latham spent a year visiting shelters around the country.

Last year, he started ShelterMe. com, where people can find pets facing euthanasia.

Twenty-five shelters in California, Idaho, New York, Massachusetts and North Carolina post photos, videos and stories about animals that need homes.

Thousands of pets have been featured on the site, and most of them were adopted or taken in by a rescue, Latham said.

Pet food program helps Rio Arriba pet owners The Española Valley Humane Society and The Food Depot are partnering to help low-income people and their pets in Rio Arriba County.

He has given a leg up to Animal Care Services of Long Beach, Calif. which was nearly full last week with 112 dogs, 138 cats, and some rabbits and turtles, said Kelly Miott, the shelter’s outreach coordinator.

“We have really limited space here,” she said. “That’s why Steven supports us. Euthanasia is a fact of life. We are what the no-kill people are trying to get rid of.”

Miott said she tried for years to get dogs from Long Beach on airlifts to other cities without success, but Latham made it possible. He also connected her to a store where she could hold weekend adoption fairs.

Members of the no-kill movement are “scaring volunteers away because they are making it very clear that animals are dying at our shelter. We don’t try to hide that,” Miott said.

Francis Battista, co-founder of Best Friends Animal Society, a leading no-kill organization based in Utah, said finger-pointing won’t help animals.

“The no-kill movement seeks to collaborate with and support open admission shelters that are committed to do whatever it takes to end the killing of healthy, treatable shelter pets,” Battista said.

Latham’s website helped Alexandra Spinner of Los Angeles find a perfect feline companion last year.

“It wasn’t just a one-sided picture of a cat, but an interactive opportunity to know the animal more intimately,” she said. “I wanted a lap cat, and she was sitting there in a bright room, being petted. Had I not seen that video, I might have passed her by.”

The Pet Amigos program will launch at noon Friday, Sept. 12, with tours of the Española Valley Humane Society, 108 Hamm Parkway, and discussion about the program beginning at 12:45 p.m., said Sherry Hooper, executive director of the Santa Fe-based Food Depot. Refreshments also will be served.

Volunteers with the Española Valley Humane Society have already reached out to many people in Rio Arriba County about possible help with their companion animals, Hooper said, offering them information about the pet food program and spay/neuter services. The Food Depot will be working with existing partners in Rio Arriba County for distribution of the pet food.

The goal of the program, funded by grants from IAMS and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is to help low-income people care for their animals despite financial challenges.

“Too often, those who need food the most share it with their beloved animals so that they will not go hungry,” Hooper said. The partnership will help address this problem.

Hooper said grants restrict the distribution to Rio Arriba County, but, if successful, the program may be expanded to other areas. The Food Depot helps support lowincome people in nine counties, including Santa Fe County.

They argued the appeal seeking details of the drug was merely another attempt to force prison officials to disclose the compounding pharmacy that provides the execution drugs, something the courts repeatedly have refused to order.

Investigators have said that Trottie called his ex-wife May 3, 1993, and renewed an earlier death threat. They said he then showed up at her parents’ house and opened fire with a semiautomatic pistol.

Titus Canada also had a gun and wounded Trottie, who then cornered his ex-wife in a bedroom and shot her 11 times before returning to the wounded brother and shooting him twice in the back of the head, according to investigators.

Trottie drove himself to a hospital, where police arrested him.

death sentence.

Prosecutors said he had threatened to kill Canada, who had a protective order against him, if she didn’t return to him. They said he carried out that threat when barging into the house and opening fire.

Trottie’s attorneys had argued to the Supreme Court that lawyers at his 1993 trial were deficient for not addressing his self-defense theory and for failing to produce sufficient testimony about Trottie’s abusive childhood with an alcoholic mother.

State attorneys scoffed at the argument, saying Trottie’s self-defense claim was absurd and had been rejected in earlier appeals.

Trottie’s attorneys also contended the dose of pentobarbital for his lethal injection was past its effectiveness date and could subject him to unconstitutional “tortuous” pain.

The state responded that the drug

COMMENTARY: NORMAN ORNSTEIN

In worst case, who would lead U.S.?

T

hirteen years ago, the United States was changed in a profound way. A major attack on the homeland by a non-state foreign actor had never happened before, and the consequences — thousands of deaths, landmarks destroyed and damaged — were terrifying. The policy repercussions, from the Patriot Act to the Guantánamo Bay prison to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to airport security measures to creation of the Department of Homeland Security to reorganization of the intelligence agencies, were even more far-reaching.

In part as a result of these changes, the United States has gone for 13 years without another devastating terrorist attack. But as the rise of the Islamic State underscores, the threat has not disappeared.

As time passes, the access of terrorist groups to powerful weapons, and their sophistication at probing our defenses and recruiting potential attackers, continues to increase.

While the United States has taken many steps to stay one step ahead of terrorists, there is one area in which multiple efforts to protect us have been sidestepped, ignored or abandoned. That area is in continuity of government — ensuring that our fundamental institutions, including Congress, the presidency and the judiciary, are able to immediately reconstitute themselves if shattered by a terrorist attack.

The danger has been apparent since Sept. 11, 2001. United Airlines Flight 93, the plane that crashed in rural Pennsylvania because of the actions of its brave passengers, was likely headed for the Capitol. If it had not been delayed on takeoff from Newark by 45 minutes, the passengers would not have known they were on a suicide mission, and the plane probably would have hit the Capitol around the same time American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon — causing massive damage and potentially leaving Congress without the constitutionally mandated quorum of

OUR VIEW

Cooking meals can be stress-free

O half its members required to do business.

Coincidentally, that same morning the Judicial Conference of the United States was meeting at the Supreme Court, a stone’s throw from the Capitol. The core of the federal judiciary was there, with Chief Justice William Rehnquist presiding. Conceivably, a direct hit on the cast-iron Capitol dome could have created devastating damage to the court building, decimating the judiciary.

When it became clear that the devastation was indeed a terrorist attack, Air Force One took off from Sarasota, Fla., with the president on board, and headed west to heavily protected air bases, while the vice president was hustled into an underground bunker at the White House to safeguard the line of presidential succession.

But in the aftermath of the attacks, it became clear that the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 never contemplated an attack carried out with no notice (unlike during the Cold War, when there would be crucial time after nuclear missiles were launched from Siberia) while large numbers of those at the top of the three branches

of government were in close proximity.

Weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, I joined with Tom Mann of the Brookings Institution to create a Continuity of Government Commission, co-chaired by former White House counsel Lloyd Cutler and former senator Alan Simpson, with distinguished scholars, former lawmakers and Cabinet officers as members.

We issued three reports — one each on Congress, the presidency and the Supreme Court.

We recommended a constitutional amendment to allow emergency interim members of Congress to replace those dead, incapacitated or missing after a massive attack, until the incapacitated could recover and the dead could be replaced in meaningful special elections.

This would enable Congress to get up and running legitimately within days after an attack, preventing the need for martial law at the worst possible time.

We recommended a thorough revamping of the Presidential Succession Act to bring it up to date and erase a set of unintended anomalies. We also recommended creation of an interim Emergency Court

of Appeals, consisting of the chief judges of the various circuit courts of appeals and the remaining justices of the Supreme Court, in case an attack reduced the Supreme Court below its statutory quorum requirement of six.

Having a functioning court of last resort would be critical to settle any questions about the legitimacy of actions by a damaged Congress.

We had allies across party lines in both houses. But little happened. There was active opposition to action from House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wisconsin, and House Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier, R-California, on the grounds that there should never be an appointed member of the House, no matter the circumstance.

The threat is, if anything, is greater than it was after Sept. 11.

The need to preserve and protect continuity in our constitutional institutions is critical.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for valuable hiking safety info

T

hree cheers to both The New Mexican and Santa Fe Search and Rescue Group for spotlighting how to to keep safe in the wilderness (“In the wilderness, the lifesaving essentials,” Sept. 5).

I am that cheerful wonderstruck day hiker, the camper who follows my curiosity around the bend from the campsite at twilight … perhaps just a little bit farther, up to that rock, only a little farther still, perhaps I can see the whole canyon. I’ll just slip away for a private moment, be back before anyone misses me.

The talk given in Eldorado last Saturday by Santa Fe Search and Rescue Group was encouraging and cautionary.

We were given a straight-forward list for planning a trek, however unambitious, a list of 10 essentials for our daypacks and wonderful advice. One was: If you have lost your way, don’t panic. Sit down. Have something to eat and drink and think.

Think.

The lists are at santafesar.org.

can has printed a Sunday commentary, (“Hamas and Israel: Journalists should take a hard look,” My View, Sept. 7) about Hamas versus Israel.

Once again, Hamas is portrayed as the bad terrorists who harm their own people — the Palestinians.

Israelis, on the other hand, are the Good Guys.

They have bunkers and give water to the Palestinians because they supposedly, have humanitarian goals.

Why does your paper continue to insist on printing views of Israel as correct in its ways of self-defense despite evidence to the contrary?

Please read the Sept. 1, 2014, edition of The New Yorker for an alternative view.

Connie Bruck, a staff writer, has written an article, “Friends of Israel,” which mentions the powerful lobbyist group, American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and its extraordinary influence over our politicians and news media since 1963.

Your commentary, (“Eldorado has rules on solar,” My View, Aug. 24) regarding covenant control of roof versus groundmounted solar is inaccurate and misguided on several counts.

Encouraging an amendment to the homeowners association covenants to prohibit ground-mounted solar would be a tremendous waste of everyone’s time and money.

The 2007 amendments to our state laws spelled out in HB 0611 and SB 1031 clearly overrule any covenant attempting to “effectively prohibit” any type of solar and make no distinction between ground or roof-mounted.

There are reasons why a person might have to choose to ground-mount despite visibility; they may not have enough unshaded roof space, lots of skylights, a roof needing repair or a mobile home that cannot support a roof mount.

I suggest anyone interested visit the New Mexico website: http://www.emnrd. state.nm.us/ECMD/RenewableEnergy/ SolarRightsAct.html and follow the link to read the text of HB 0611, sec.1.b, for themselves.

ne of the best ways to create family time, eat healthier meals and otherwise take control of your diet is, without a doubt, cooking meals at home. Research proves this, and so does personal experience. Ask any adult to remember the smell of beans boiling on the stove or the sight of a mother or grandmother rolling tortillas — these are moments that last a lifetime.

So why, over the past few months, has there been a steady stream of articles about why home-cooked meals aren’t worth the aggravation? Whether discussing how it can be cheaper for one to eat out, or dissecting research on how home cooking is stressful, perhaps it’s just the contrarian voice in action. The most recent article to raise questions about meals cooked at home, “The Tyranny of the Home-Cooked Family Meal,” on Slate online magazine, talks about research from North Carolina State University that says cooking is too stressful, especially for moms.

According to the article, “the researchers interviewed 150 mothers from all walks of life and spent 250 hours observing 12 families in-depth, and they found ‘that time pressures, trade-offs to save money, and the burden of pleasing others make it difficult for mothers to enact the idealized vision of home-cooked meals advocated by foodies and public health officials.’ The mothers they interviewed had largely internalized the social message that ‘home-cooked meals have become the hallmark of good mothering, stable families and the ideal of the healthy, productive citizen’ but found that as much as they wanted to achieve that ideal, they didn’t have the time or money to get there.”

Admittedly, modern life can be stressful, but articles like this shouldn’t discourage families (or single people) from taking control of their health by cooking. It doesn’t have to be fancy. It doesn’t have to be expensive (buy frozen vegetables to save money). And it doesn’t have to be timeconsuming (for parents with erratic work schedules, get a crockpot or pressure cooker). But eating at home means that the cook controls the added butter, salt and other ingredients that can turn otherwise healthy food into a heart attack in waiting. With the threats of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure all making Americans sicker, why wouldn’t we want to take better care of ourselves? Eating healthy food is one of the easiest way to do that.

To make that happen, people need to learn how to cook.

That way, dinner doesn’t have to be laborious. Weekday meals can be easy stir-fries on the stove, or soups simmering all day in the crockpot, while weekends are the time to whip up meals that are more substantial. Yes, cooking is work, but knowing how to put ingredients together, plan menus and shop makes that work easier. So will enlisting spouses and children so one person isn’t responsible for every meal. If cooking isn’t being taught at home, it’s the perfect extra-credit class for high school students or camp subject for elementary school students. It’s a life skill, not a luxury, that all boys and girls need to learn.

In the meantime, don’t listen to the voices trying to keep people tied to a convenient, but bad food diet. Eating out is a treat, certainly, but meals around the kitchen table are something we all need to embrace. Cook more dinners at home. You won’t be sorry.

The past 100 years Sept. 11, 1964: Direct Distance Dialing will be inaugurated in Santa Fe, White Rock, Taos and Red River on Sunday, Dec. 6, announced Marvin Gilpin, District Manager for Mountain States Telephone. Direct Distance Dialing, one of the most advanced developments in communication in the past 50 years, makes it possible for a person to dial telephone numbers across the nation as easily as those across the street.

7 p.m. on LIFE Project Runway The new episode “Rainway” presents a challenge unlike any other for the designers: creating avant garde looks that also will stand up to the elements, especially rain. If you think that may mean some scattered showers during the runway presentation, you would be right. Caitlin FitzGerald, pictured, who plays Libby Masters in the hit Showtime dramedy Masters of Sex, is a guest judge.

8 p.m. on USA Satisfaction Much of the first season of this critically acclaimed dramedy has found its main characters, Neil and Grace (Matt Passmore, Stephanie Szostak), trying to live in the moment with each other, but in the new episode called “...Through Revelation,” the couple is forced to focus on daughter Anika’s (Michelle DeShon) future, as well as their own.

PREP CROSS-COUNTRY

Romero climbs over her ‘wall’ St. Michael’s runner finds greater drive this season

By James Barron The New Mexican

The wall.

It is the bane of every endurance performance, be it cycling or running, and it always seems to manifest itself at the worst time.

For Jordyn Romero, 2013 cross-

country season was her “wall.”

It wasn’t that the St. Michael’s senior had a bad season, but compared to what she was accustomed to, it wasn’t the same. Romero was one of the top runners in Class AAA (now AAAA) and she was always considered a favorite at any meet she and the Lady Horsemen entered. That wasn’t always the case in 2013, and the wall she hit was more psychological than it ever was physical — although there was a physical manifestation that

Romero overcame burnout from last season to become the team leader and best runner on a young Lady Horsemen squad.

which came later.

If anything, cross-country was not fun any more for Romero, and she carried that attitude through last fall.

“I just wasn’t as motivated to run as much,” Romero said. “I wouldn’t perform in meets and I would let it get me down. Practice was hard, too. Running really wasn’t a priority this year.”

United States’ coach Mike Krzyzewski gives instructions Sept. 2 as he takes a ball during the Group C Basketball World Cup match between the U.S. and New Zealand in Bilbao, northern Spain.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo Wednesday to the 32 teams reiterating that the NFL never saw the video until Monday.

Coach K: Basketball World Cup is big deal

By Brian Mahoney The Associated Press

BARCELONA, Spain — The name was changed to sound more like soccer. The date was changed to get away from soccer.

Basketball’s World Cup, of course, will never be soccer’s.

The question is whether it’s as important as the Olympic basketball tournament, which has always been more popular in the United States.

“To the basketball people of the world, this is the event,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said earlier in the tournament.

“Remember, the Olympics is every sport, so you’ve got a bunch of people who are excited about swimming, track, all the events, and you put them together and it creates this spectacle that basketball is a part of.

‘Basketball’s not a part of this event. Basketball is the event and there’s a big difference and we’ve learned that.”

Hawks cancel meeting set with civil rights leaders

By Charles Odum The Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks canceled a scheduled meeting between their CEO and city civil rights leaders Wednesday, prompting one of the group’s leaders to say his community was greatly offended.

The Rev. Markel Hutchins said the meeting with CEO Steve Koonin was called off “at the last minute.”

He later said he received a call from Hawks spokesman Garin Narain on Tuesday night asking the appointment be postponed.

Hutchins said he needed to hear that request from Koonin, and because Koonin didn’t personally cancel the meeting, the group of 12 civil rights leaders showed up as planned.

Ravens eager to play a game, even against Steelers

By David Ginsburg The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Four days after opening the season by losing to a division foe at home, the Baltimore Ravens face their most-hated rival in a pivotal game Thursday night.

The matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t come soon enough for the Ravens, who finally get to play a football game in the wake of the media firestorm involving Ray Rice.

TODAY ON TV 6:25 p.m. on CBS/NFL — Pittsburgh at Baltimore

Following Sunday’s 23-16 defeat against Cincinnati, Baltimore had not yet launched its short work-week when a video surfaced showing Rice hitting his then-fiancée in an elevator last February. The incident previously led the NFL to suspend the running back for two games, but the graphic video prompted the Ravens

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

to release Rice and the NFL to suspend him indefinitely.

From that point, coach John Harbaugh and his players were bombarded with more questions about Rice than the importance of avoiding an 0-2 start with two home losses against AFC North opponents.

“It’s been a trying time,” wide receiver Steve Smith said. “You have to compartmentalize to some part, because if you don’t, this is a game that is physical and you can get hurt

if your mind is not clear and focused on what you have to do.”

Under different circumstances, the Ravens (0-1) and Steelers (1-0) would be asked about the intensity of a rivalry in which 10 of the last 12 games have been decided by three points or fewer. Maybe everyone would be talking about Pittsburgh’s second-half collapse against Cleveland last week.

Instead, the topic of conversation

Cup: U.S. is two victories away from repeating championship win Continued from Page B-1

James Harden of the U.S. looks up during the Basketball World Cup quarterfinal Tuesday between Slovenia and the United States at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain. The 2014 Basketball World Cup competition will take place in various cities in Spain through Sunday.

MANU FERNANDEZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. team is two victories from repeating as champion of the former world basketball championship for the first time.

The Americans face Lithuania on Thursday night, with the winner advancing to the gold-medal game on Sunday in Madrid.

Lithuanian fans will pack the Palau San Jordi in green, just as they would for the Olympics or any tournament involving their beloved basketball players. But red, white and blue isn’t as easily spotted unless looking at the bench area, with American fans simply not as passionate about the event.

So it wasn’t a major surprise in the U.S. when Olympians like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony never considered playing this year, or when Kevin Durant and Kevin Love changed their minds after committing.

But James Harden, who played on the Americans’ gold medal-winning team in the 2012 Olympics, said he never considered pulling out.

“This is a great opportunity for me. I’m a young guy, so I’m just taking all this with the flow,” Harden said. “You don’t get the opportunity to compete for your country. This is a dream come true, so I’m definitely seizing the moment and I’m having a great time.”

FIBA wants it to be bigger.

Basketball’s governing body, which calls the World Cup its “flagship event” in nearly every press release about it, has already announced plans to move off the current four-year cycle by taking off 2018 and returning in 2019. That means no more fighting for leftover attention in the same summer as soccer’s World Cup. It will expand from 24 to 32 teams and serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2020 Olympics. Qualification for the World Cup will be accomplished through a similar format as soccer’s, with teams playing home-and-away games against teams in their zones in 2017-18,

replacing the regional qualifying tournaments currently in place.

What that might do to increase interest in the U.S. remains to be seen, especially since the NBA has already said it won’t release players for games during its season.

“Well, in the case of basketball, there’s no question that the Olympics has been historically a bigger event,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said before the tournament. “Basketball has been an Olympic sport since the 1930s, so the World Cup, just renamed from the world championship of basketball, is still developing into a world-class event.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Visiting Los Alamos beats St. Mike’s The New Mexican

Just as it is in basketball, height on a volleyball player isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

St. Michael’s head coach Steve Long said size wasn’t a factor in Los Alamos 3 his Lady Horsemen’s St. Michael’s 1 3-1 loss to visiting Los Alamos in a nondistrict match Wednesday night in Perez-Shelley Memorial Gymnasium.

“Los Alamos is big, but not as big and strong as they usually are,” Long said after his team’s 18-25, 25-22, 10-25, 12-25 loss to the Lady Hilltoppers. “They still hit the ball very well, though. They don’t need the size when they hit the ball the way they did tonight.”

St. Michael’s (2-4) held its own through

the first two sets, then ran into the buzz saw that is the Los Alamos front line during the last two sets. The Lady Hilltoppers took command by pounding away at the net, overpowering the Lady Horsemen with athletic play up front.

Allie Berhost and Danielle Trujillo each had nine kills to lead the way for St. Michael’s, which lost for the first time at home this season. The Lady Horsemen are now 2-1 inside the friendly confines, having lost all three matches on a neutral court during a trip to a tournament in Moriarty last weekend.

Latisha Archuleta had six kills for St. Michael’s while setter Lainie Serna had 19 assists and Paulette Griego had 11.

“Los Alamos is a tough team and they served the ball very well,” Long said.

The Lady Horsemen return to action next week at Pojoaque Valley.

ESTANCIA 3, MONTE DEL SOL 1 The visiting Lady Dragons got 11 digs from Kaylee Maxon and eight digs from Jessica Sandoval in a tough nondistrict loss to the Lady Bears.

Estancia shook off an early 1-0 deficit, winning the final three sets going away with a 25-23, 15-25, 21-25, 23-25 decision.

Sandoval added nine points and seven kills while Maxon had seven points and three kills.

Savannah Bustamante had nine digs and Lizbeth Nava had nine points, all in a losing effort Monte del Sol returns to action Friday night at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center in a nondistrict showdown with visiting Peñasco.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 7 p.m. on ESPN — Houston at BYU

Romero: Stronger showing at invitational Continued from Page B-1 and The University of New Mexico Invitational on Saturday, Romero found her passion again. While her 39th-place finish might not seem impressive, it was one position lower than her 38th at the same meet in 2012. That year, Romero finished fourth in the AAA meet.

Romero hopes that bodes well for her, because she’s running with a purpose.

“I think my mind and motivation are on point this year,” Romero said.

She looked like the runner who finished in the top 5 at state her freshman and sophomore years, who ran with the confidence and poise of a team’s No. 1 runner. However, it was clear even to St. Michael’s head coach Lenny Gurule that Romero was not her usual self.

It was something that many female runners experience the further their running careers go on the prep scene.

“With younger girls, it’s kind of easy to be successful early on,” Gurule said. “To keep that mentality over the years is the challenge. To stay successful, it lasts five years for some of those girls. Because they are more hugely successful earlier, they are under the microscope and maintaining it is so difficult.”

For Romero, the turning point actually began with a hiccup. Gurule had Romero train with seniors Rachel Saladen and Brianna Farrier, in a way to appeal to her sense of effervescence.

“I think Jordyn likes to be around people,” Gurule said. “I don’t think she enjoys being out

there [working out] by herself.”

It was also the hardest Romero had trained in a while.

So much so, it was discovered that she was iron deficient, which might account for some of her lackluster junior year.

Romero started taking supplements to help alleviate the problem, but Romero added that she did something she hadn’t done since she started running cross-country: She didn’t run.

“Pretty much all summer,” Romero said. “Then I just had this thing deep inside that I wanted to run again. And not just run, but to do well again.”

One thing Gurule noticed, though, was that Romero was more of a team leader than she had before. Some of it had to do with the team the Lady Horsemen have this season —

a mixture of four returning varsity runners with a group coming up from the junior varsity.

“That is another thing that has got her moving positively,” Gurule said. “I think she enjoys trying to help her other teammates out.”

Even Romero can’t help but gush about the team, especially after its 16-place finish, which was second-best among all AAAA teams at the UNM meet.

“This is almost a completely new team,” Romero said. “We got two eighth-graders who will be running on varsity pretty soon. The rest are pretty much all freshmen. It’s like I get to help build the team and leave it with high standards.”

They are the same kind of standards she has set for herself — even while she was hitting “the wall.”

Los Alamos still team to beat in Class AAAAA

By James Barron The New Mexican

So, after the first two weeks and the first big meet of the cross-country season, what have we learned?

Well, things are not as they seem on the girls’ side.

Los Alamos is still the team to beat in Class AAAAA, but Albuquerque Academy (second place overall at the UNM Invitational) is a serious challenger. Granted, the Lady Hilltoppers were dealing with some illnesses coming into the meet and their No. 3 runner (Sophia Galvez) could not finish the race, so their sixth-place finish (140 points) is understandable.

However, the gap between Los Alamos and the Lady Chargers was larger this year (48 points) at the UNM meet than it was last year (68-95). And that was with Galvez struggling to finish last year’s race. Early indications show this two-team battle will be tight throughout the season.

Taos lost two key runners from last year’s AAA (now AAAA) championship team, but the Lady Tigers look better.

Lucia Constanza is playing soccer at Albuquerque La Cueva and Haley Rach is out for the season because of hip surgery. Still, Taos went to Alamosa, Colo., for the Joe I.

Vigil Open and finished a solid third — the highest finish of four New Mexico teams at the meet.

Hannah Gunther stepped into Rach’s role as the No. 1 runner and led a trio of runners that placed in the top nine (Gunther was second, Elizabeth Reyes was third and Emma Patterson ninth). While Zuni is a wild card in the AAAA field, teams will have their hands full closing the gap on the Lady Tigers. uuu

On the boys’ side, things are as they always are in AAAAA, with Academy and Los Alamos again gearing up for their endof-year showdown. The Chargers were third, while the Hilltoppers were fourth, but the one difference might be that Los Alamos does not have the dynamic runner like it did last year in Collin Hemez. Both squads did show a strong pack time, as the top five for both teams finished within :59 (Academy) and 1 minute (Los Alamos) of each other.

In AAAA, Taos showed it’s not far off where it left off from last November, coming within seven points of taking second at the Vigil, but the path to a second straight blue trophy will be obstructed by another

team trying to repeat — Zuni. The Thunderbirds won the AA meet and move up the AAAA this season. They showed their strength by sweeping the top three spots at the Rehoboth Invitational and recording a 20-point total. uuu

Pecos senior and 2012 AA state champion Cassie CdeBaca accomplished a rare feat last school year — she earned letters in six sports (cross-country, volleyball, basketball, cheerleading, track and softball).

She’s trying it again this season, but scheduling hit a snag for her first cross-country meet. The volleyball team went to Tucumcari for a two-day tournament, so she missed the UNM Invite. It won’t get easier this weekend, since Pecos will be in Santa Fe at the Academy for Technology and the Classics Everybody Invite, while volleyball heads to Fort Sumner. uuu

While there was plenty of noise at the UNM Golf Course, one northern team stealthily came and left Albuquerque.

Española Valley raced at the five-team Del Norte Invitational, and took third in the boys and girls meet.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hawks: Groups say they were offended Continued from Page B-1 When they entered Philips Arena and were told there would be no meeting, Hutchins and the other leaders said they were insulted.

“The entire civil rights community, locally and nationally, have been offended, the likes of which we have not seen in this community in decades,” Hutchins said.

The group asked for the meeting to discuss what Hutchins said was the Hawks’ “disrespect for people of color.”

The request followed racially charged comments by Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson and general manager Danny Ferry.

In a statement Wednesday, the Hawks asked for patience from the community and said they want to reschedule the meeting.

“Koonin postponed today’s meeting last night,” the Hawks’ statement said. “This conversation is a priority for us. We are committed to having this meeting and will work with community leaders to reschedule as soon as possible. We ask our community to work with

us, be patient with us, and help us heal.”

The Hawks did not say why the meeting was canceled.

Levenson said Sunday he will sell his majority share of the team. Koonin said Tuesday Ferry has been punished but won’t be fired.

Hutchins said when he arranged the meeting with Koonin on Monday night, he made it clear the group wanted Ferry to lose his job.

“Perhaps one of the reasons why they canceled the meeting is we made it very clear we were going to demand in our conversations that Danny Ferry be fired or resign,” Hutchins said. “There is no way that a man who uses the kind of language and holds the kind of sentiments that he does should be the general manager of the basketball team in the home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the cradle of the civil rights movement.”

Others also have called for Ferry to be fired. Former NBA great Magic Johnson said late Tuesday on his Twitter feed “Atlanta Hawks GM Danny Ferry should step down after

making racist statements about NBA player Luol Deng.”

Deng and Ferry are former Duke players under Mike Krzyzewski, who is coaching the U.S. team at the World Cup. Krzyzewski said he couldn’t comment on the controversy involving his former players because he hasn’t followed the news.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, serving as an assistant on the U.S. team, defended Deng on Wednesday.

“I’ve never been around a better person,” Thibodeau said.

“He’s not only a great basketball player, he’s an even better person. I’ll stand by Luol any day. He’s good. He’s done a lot of great things in the community. He’s a great human being.

He’s a very humble guy. He has a lot of integrity. I can’t say enough good things about him. … It was a privilege for me to be his coach.”

Thibodeau said he “can’t imagine” why Ferry made the statements.

Ferry made inflammatory comments about Deng in a conference call with the Hawks’ ownership group in June when

the team pursued Deng as a free agent. Ferry described Deng as someone who “has a little African in him.”

Deng, who was born in what is now South Sudan, now plays for the Miami Heat. He responded to Ferry’s comment on Tuesday by saying, “I’m proud to say I actually have a lot of African in me, not just ‘a little.’”

A letter from co-owner Michael Gearon Jr. to Levenson recommended that Ferry resign or be fired. Gearon said Ferry made that description of Deng to the team’s ownership group.

Gearon’s June 12 letter to Levenson said Ferry went on to say, “Not in a bad way, but he’s like a guy who would have a nice store out front and sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back.”

Added Gearon: “Ferry completed the racial slur by describing the player (and impliedly all persons of African descent) as a two-faced liar and cheat.”

from his record. A prominent New Jersey lawmaker has called for that decision to be reviewed.

Hours after portions of the video were made public by TMZ, Goodell suspended Rice indefinitely and Baltimore terminated his contract. He had originally been suspended for two games, and team officials had praised him for his apologies and actions after his arrest for aggravated assault.

Goodell and team officials said they were taking more severe action because of the violence in the video.

Pressure mounted from outside the NFL even before the law enforcement official’s account was published. Twelve Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sent Goodell a letter calling for greater transparency from the NFL, and Republican Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada said Goodell had not acted swiftly enough to punish Rice.

“By waiting to act until [the video] was made public you effectively condoned the action of the perpetrator himself,” Heller wrote in a letter to Goodell. “I cannot and will not tolerate that position by anybody, let alone the National Football League.”

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said after the law enforcement official’s account that the news suggested a “burgeoning, insurmountable credibility gap” in Goodell’s statements.

“If these reports are true, Commissioner Goodell must go, for the good of the NFL and its fans,” Blumenthal said in a statement.

DETROIT — James Shields allowed two hits over seven innings in another terrific performance, and the Kansas City Royals edged Detroit 3-0 on Wednesday Royals 3 night to take a one-game lead over the Tigers atop the Tigers 0 AL Central.

Shields (14-7) gave up a single to Ian Kinsler leading off the first. Then he picked off Kinsler — and retired every other batter he faced until another Detroit single in the seventh. The Tigers put two on that inning, but Shields worked out of the jam.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher James ANGELS 8, RANGERS 1 In Arlington, Texas, Albert Pujols opened the scoring with his first triple in more than four years, rookie Matt Shoemaker had another strong start, and Los Angeles beat the Rangers.

Pujols almost made it two straight triples, only to change his mind as he rounded second. He was then tagged out trying to get back to the base and finished a home run shy of the cycle.

first inside-the-park home run of his career, and Pittsburgh protected their lead in the NL wildcard race, beating the Phillies.

The Pirates began the day with a 1½-game lead over Atlanta and Milwaukee for the second wild-card spot. Pittsburgh has won six of seven.

Pittsburgh trailed 3-2 in the fifth inning when McCutchen hit a ball off the wall in straightaway center field. The ball ricocheted toward the alley in right-center, and away from center fielder Ben Revere.

WHITE SOX 2, ATHLETICS 1 In Chicago, Avisail Garcia drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the eighth inning, and the White Sox beat struggling Oakland.

The Athletics were in line for the win after Jeff Samardzija threw seven scoreless innings, and Adam Dunn singled in a run against his former team.

YANKEES 8, RAYS 5 In New York, Mark Teixeira made up for a botched foul pop in the Rays’ four-run first inning with a go-ahead triple in the fifth, Brian McCann homered and drove in three runs, and the Yankees used their biggest comeback of the season to beat Tampa Bay. The Yankees entered 5½ games out of a playoff spot with 20 remaining, and they did not get off to a good start.

METS 2, ROCKIES 0 In New York, Rafael Montero earned his first major league win, Eric Young Jr. went 3 for 3 with an RBI triple and the suddenly surging Mets beat Colorado for their fourth consecutive victory.

Montero (1-3) returned from the minors and allowed three hits over 5⅓ innings in his seventh big league start. Juan Lagares had a sacrifice fly for the Mets, who have won seven of eight. They finished a three-game sweep of last-place Colorado, winning the final two by identical scores behind Montero and fellow rookie Jacob deGrom.

ORIOLES 10, RED SOX 6 In Boston, Wei-Yin Chen pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning, Adam Jones helped provide an early cushion and Baltimore beat the Red Sox for a three-game sweep.

The Orioles took an 8-0 lead in the fifth and maintained their double-digit lead atop the AL East.

Caleb Joseph homered and drove in three runs and Ryan Flaherty got a career-high four hits as Baltimore won for the 11th time in 14 games.

REDS 4, CARDINALS 2 In Cincinnati, Alfredo Simon shook off a rough start but lasted seven innings and drove in the go-ahead run with the second of his two doubles as the Reds rallied for a win over St. Louis.

Ryan Ludwick hit a solo home run to help the Reds win back-to-back games for the first time since Aug. 27-28 against the Chicago Cubs. The Central Division-leading Cardinals hadn’t sustained consecutive defeats since a four-game losing streak from Aug. 26-30.

TWINS-INDIANS RAINED OUT In Cleveland, the game between Minnesota and the Indians was postponed because of rain.

The Twins and Cleveland will play a doubleheader Thursday starting at 12:05 p.m.

The game was called off about two hours before it was supposed to begin.

BRAVES 6, NATIONALS 2 In Washington, Aaron Harang outdueled Stephen Strasburg, Justin Upton drove in three runs and Atlanta avoided a series sweep in Washington with a win over the Nationals.

The Braves snapped a three-game losing streak as Harang (11-10) held the NL East leaders to one unearned run over seven innings. Upton’s RBI single in the sixth broke a 1-all tie, and he added a two-run double off reliever Ryan Mattheus during a three-run seventh.

NATIONAL LEAGUE BREWERS 4, MARLINS 1 In Milwaukee, rookie Matt Clark hit his first career home run, Wily Peralta pitched into the seventh inning, and the Brewers beat Miami.

Peralta (16-10) gave up one earned run and five hits in 6⅔ innings to help Milwaukee snap a four-game losing streak and win for just the second time in its last 15 games. The right-hander also had an RBI for the Brewers, who remained 1½ games behind Pittsburgh for the second wildcard spot.

PIRATES 6, PHILLIES 3 In Philadelphia, Andrew McCutchen hit the

INTERLEAGUE BLUE JAYS 11, CUBS 1 In Toronto, Drew Hutchison matched his career-high with 10 strikeouts in 6⅓ innings, Dioner Navarro had two hits and two RBIs, and the Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep with a win over Chicago.

Hutchison (10-11) allowed one run and four hits in his second career 10-strikeout game — both this season. He also did it against Milwaukee on July 1.

Marin Cilic of Croatia poses Tuesday with the U.S. Open men’s singles trophy at Rockefeller Center.

MIKE GROLL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Marin Cilic calls U.S. Open title ‘life-changing’ NEW YORK — U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic says a pep talk in the locker room from coach Goran Ivanisevic helped him stay relaxed in the final.

Cilic says Tuesday that before he went on court for his 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Kei Nishikori, Ivanisevic said to be sure to enjoy the title match — even if he was going to be incredibly nervous.

Speaking to a small group of reporters between TV appearances Tuesday, Cilic says his championship is “lifechanging, completely” and he feels “like I was on a different planet.”

Cilic is the first Croatian man to win a major title since Ivanisevic at Wimbledon in 2001.

Cilic’s newfound celebrity status included reading a Top 10 list for David Letterman and chatting with Charlie Rose.

In brief

Climber heads for the top

Ben Hanna started rock climbing at the age of 3 with his dad, Ian Hanna. He spends 15 to 20 hours per week in training on rock-climbing walls at The Santa Fe Climbing Center and at home.

15-year-old will take his rocky passion to world championships this month

By James Barron The New Mexican

I

f 3-year-old Ben Hanna met 7-yearold Ben Hanna, they wouldn’t believe what the other had to say.

At age 3, Hanna was introduced to rock climbing by his dad, Ian Hanna, in the Jemez Mountains.

Let’s just say Ben Hanna was not impressed.

“I don’t remember much about it, but I remember not liking it,” he said.

Fast forward four years, and Hanna had a vastly different perception of the activity. If anything, it was a friend of his who competed in local indoor rock-climbing competitions who set the stage for what the now 15-year-old is set to do. Hanna will head to Noumea, New Caledonia — a French special territory collectivity northeast of Australia — this weekend to prepare for the International Federation of Sport Climbing Youth World Championships, which will take place Sept. 20-24.

Hanna was among the top four finishers at the USA Youth National Championships in July, which qualified him for the international event.

Yet, none of that would have happened if Hanna hadn’t received the appropriate motivation from his friend.

“He had competed in the rock climbing circuit and done really well,” Hanna said. “It was my competitive spirit that made me do it and make myself better.”

Hanna joined the Santa Fe Climbing Team at 10, and has competed in other national and international events. Hanna competed with the U.S. team at the Pan American Youth Climbing Championships in Santiago, Chile, in 2012, and at the World Youth Climbing Championships in Victoria, British Columbia, in 2013.

These competitions involve participants navigating a series of rocks and holds, and points are scored based on the degree of difficulty, the distance climbed and whether the course is completed.

But this will be his first foray out of the Western hemisphere. It’s his competitive nature that has gotten him this far. When he was younger, his goal was to eventually compete in the national championships — that is, until an airport encounter opened his eyes.

“I met a friend, who was asking me if I was going to the worlds,” Hanna said. “At that point, I didn’t know there was such a thing. After that, I wanted to go to the worlds.”

To do that, though, takes a lot of dedication. So, Hanna left Tierra Encantada and continued his education at Santa Fe Community College.

It allows him the chance to work his academic schedule around his hectic training schedule. In all, he spends anywhere between 15 and 20 hours a week training, be it indoors or outdoors.

Amarillo duo win golf championship

Climbing Center under owner Andre Wiltenburg, along with coach Ed Strang, who offers his climbing wall in his garage at home for private sessions.

“Both of my coaches inspire me.

I’m so thankful to have them in my life,” said Hanna. “The climbing community is amazing. The gym is my second home, and I have so many people to thank for their constant support and encouragement.”

As if that’s enough, Hanna has his own climbing wall.

He also does outdoor climbing at

least once a week. Hanna says while there are many fun and adventurous areas in New Mexico to rock climb, his favorite place is Rifle Mountain Park outside of Glenwood Springs, Colo.

The climbing at the park has a variety of long, complex routes that test even the most experienced rock climbers’ endurance — which is why it is such a popular place.

“There’s so much climbing there, and it’s really challenging,” Hanna said. “There is just so much fun, I could spend my whole life there and

not climb everything. It is an amazing place.”

He’ll find out what the rock climbing scene is like in New Caledonia, although that doesn’t come cheaply.

Hanna and his parents hit local businesses to raise funds, and Hanna estimates they raised around $5,000 that will go toward airfare, lodging and fees for the competition.

Considering the path he’s already taken, it’s worth it.

Who knows what 15-year-old Hanna would say to his other selves?

Ralph Ellis and Zack Norrell saved their best for last at the 34th TransMississippi Four-Ball Championship.

The tandem from Amarillo Country Club scorched the Sunrise Course at The Club at Las Campanas for a final round 11-under 61 to seal an unlikely, come-from-behind victory over 36-hole leaders Dr. Brad Kropp and Clark Collier. Ellis and Norrell made 11 birdies Wednesday to post a three-day total of 19-under 197.

Kropp and Collier finished in second place at 18-under 198. There were no hard feelings; they were astounded by the ball-striking and putting clinic the Amarillo men displayed.

“We shot 4-under today and didn’t play bad at all,” Kropp said. “They just made everything. We had a great time this week. This is a great facility and the Trans-Miss is an outstanding organization.”

In the Senior Division, Herb Fisher and Doug Pool held on to win by two shots. With three birdies on the back nine, they posted a final round 3-under 69 to total 15-under 201 overall. It was Fisher’s first-ever tournament win.

The Super Senior Division produced the same winning score as the Seniors. Steve Dallas and Ed Smith, a regular four-ball tandem from Mesa, Ariz., took home the hardware with a three-day total of 15-under 201.

HAPPY TRAILS

Do yourself a favor: Plan for getting lost out in the wilderness

By Lucas Conley For The New Mexican

H

ere’s the thing about getting lost in the wilderness: No one plans on it.

Sure, every once in a while, some tortured soul wanders into the forest intent on severing all ties to civilization and living off the land, but these stories are so rare and generally tragic that they wind up the subjects of bestselling books and documentaries — doomed tales of wanderlust and selfimposed isolation so inexplicable that the rest of us are left wondering why on earth would they do that?

For the rest of us, the reality is that getting lost almost always starts out the same way. One minute, we’re doing what we love — hiking, camping, fishing — the next minute, we’re

retracing our steps, scanning the horizon for familiar landmarks, and slowly coming to terms with the fact that, yes, well, maybe, no, definitely … we are lost.

So it was that a couple years ago, a friend and I got lost in the Santa Fe National Forest after dark. Blindly stumbling through the woods without a light, a jacket, or anything resembling a trail, we had several hours to reflect on the series of bad decisions that had us scaling steep drainages and caressing wild rose bushes in the pitch-black dark.

First off, our timing was terrible: Driving up into the mountains at 5 p.m., we had intended to jog an 8-mile loop between Aspen Ranch, the ski basin, and the Rio Nambé before sunset. Even if everything had gone perfectly, we would have arrived back

at the car at dusk.

Needless to say, things didn’t go as planned.

Twilight caught up with us as we bushwhacked through the debris from a recent forest fire, and we missed a turn.

Had either of us actually been on that particular trail before, we might have recognized the valley that led back to the car, but in the fading light, every valley looked the same.

Now, any Boy Scout with a merit badge or two will tell you that setting off on an unfamiliar trail late in the afternoon is a bad idea. But failing to pack a light or a jacket?

In an era of LED headlamps powered by tiny watch batteries and space-age, featherlight, waterproof, breathable fabrics designed by teams of NASA-trained engineers, there is

simply no excuse for leaving home unprepared.

A quick search of the Web will turn up all sorts of advice about how to prepare for the unexpected — from the obvious (check the weather; pack extra food, water and warm/waterproof layers) to the latest gee-whiz gadgets, tools and gear.

For a few good examples, look to groups like the Appalachian Mountain Club and the American Hiking Society.

But even the best packing list can’t guarantee you won’t get lost. Which is why our last mistake that day — failing to tell anyone exactly where we planned to hike — was probably our worst. As midnight came and went, and we found ourselves grasping a rusted barbed-wire fence hand-overhand in the dark, we couldn’t even

afford the small comfort of knowing our loved ones would know where to start looking for us. Visions of search parties and helicopters with thermalimaging cameras began filling our heads.

When we finally found our way back to the truck that night, we were covered in mud, blood and soot. Humbled and embarrassed, we called our wives and ate crow (the only dinner we would have that night).

While we went home without our pride, we had the benefit of learning the most important rule of preparing for a hike in the wilderness: Plan to get lost.

It’s a philosophy that will serve you well.

Lucas Conley is a supporter of the Santa Fe Conservation Trust.

Did I kill our cruise control by listening to baseball? Driving in the mountains, we listen to the San Francisco Giants’ home station on the car radio. In our 1993 stick-shift Honda Accord with 203,000 miles, the game reception is bad in the mountains. But I

realized that if I put a foot on the brake pedal just slightly, the reception clears up!

Touching the brake pedal also turns on the brake lights and disconnects the cruise control (if it’s on). Now the cruise control has died. (1) Was it old age, or did my riding the brakes just slightly kill it? (2) What can we do under the hood to improve reception so we don’t miss the games? (3) How does triggering the brake lights (or hitting the cruisecontrol switch) improve reception? -- Connie RAY: Great questions, Connie. You would think that two guys who have been on the radio for 30-odd years would have a clue how it works.

TOM: But you’d be wrong.

RAY: Generally speaking, AM radio reception often is disturbed by a type of interference called RFI -- radio frequency interference. And yes, we’re sure the “F’’ stands for “frequency,” despite your frustration with it creating static during a key at-bat in the bottom of the ninth inning.

TOM: RFI in a car can be constant, intermittent or related to the engine speed.

Depending on which type it is, di≠erent components can be suspect.

RAY: For instance, if the noise changes with the speed of the engine, it could be the ignition, a fuel injector or the alternator. If it’s constant, it could be something like the fuel pump, or a fan motor if you leave it at the same speed all the time.

TOM: Who knows why your problem goes away when the brake lights are engaged?

Maybe something is getting grounded by that connection, or an additional wire gets incorporated somehow as part of the antenna.

RAY: But in our experience, these problems are very, very di∞cult to eliminate.

So I’m going to suggest that you circumvent the problem entirely. How? Get satellite radio.

TOM: You’ll get every ballgame, everywhere in the country, and your reception, particularly in the mountains,

THE DAY THE CRUISE CONTROL DIED

BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI

Dear Tom and Ray:

986-3000

should be perfect all the time.

RAY: Satellite radio has more trouble in dense, urban areas with tall buildings. But on a mountain, you’d have a clear shot right to the satellite.

TOM: In terms of your cruise control, the first thing to check is the fuse. That would be the simplest and cheapest thing to fix.

RAY: If the fuse is fine, then the switch at the brake pedal could be worn out, or out of adjustment. A bad switch (stuck permanently in the “open” position) would prevent you from engaging the cruise control.

TOM: Did it have anything to do with you riding the brake pedal while listening to ballgames? It could have. But it also could have something to do with the 203,000 miles you’ve got on the car.

RAY: In any case, your mechanic can test that switch for you, and replace it if necessary. And that should get you through at least the next few seasons, Connie. Good luck.

Today’s highlight in history: On September 11, 2001, on America’s single-worst day of terrorism, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Teen should learn to forgive mother Dear Annie: My granddaughter “Rachel” is 14. Her parents raised her to attend church regularly. In the past year, however, they quit going to church and got divorced.

My daughter was seeing a married man who left his wife and children and moved in with my daughter. What a mess.

Rachel asked me, “How can Mom be such a hypocrite? She taught me that sex is for a married couple, and without marriage, it’s wrong. She tells me to not have sex with anyone till I am married.

Why should I wait?”

It breaks my heart to see my daughter setting such a bad example for her children. What can I say? I take Rachel and her sister with me to church because they want to go. All I can do at this point is pray for the two broken marriages and broken families.

— Heartbroken Granny Dear Granny: Rachel seems to have a decent grasp of the situation. Her mother is a hypocrite.

The lesson she needs to learn is forgiveness. People can make poor choices and create a great deal of damage and heartache through selfishness. They are human, and they make mistakes.

Rachel doesn’t need to condone her mother’s behavior to understand the power of forgiveness.

Please help her get there.

Dear Annie: I think public service announcements warning smokers of the risk of larynx cancer are good. If they make people stop smoking, they can save lives.

But it would be nice if they mentioned at the end that smoking is not the only cause of larynx cancer. I have never used tobacco in any form, but I ended up with larynx cancer anyway and breathe through a hole in my neck.

When out in public, I have been told by strangers, “It’s self-destructive idiots like you who make our health insurance so expensive” and “I see you got what you deserved,” etc., etc.

At first I tried to explain, but I was called a liar. So now I just ignore them and keep walking.

Any other suggestions? — Tom from Florida Dear Tom: You are handling these obnoxiously rude people

well by walking away. Unless you want to pass out flyers explaining the various causes of larynx cancer, there’s not much more you can do. Their self-righteous attitude does not allow for compassion.

Dear Annie: I would like to respond to the letter from “Little Brother,” the 13-year-old fatherless boy who thought he was in love with his older brother.

My dad died when I was 5, and my 17-year-old brother immediately stepped into the role of a surrogate father. He was loving, kind and affectionate and helped me navigate through my childhood and teenage years. When I was 12, I thought I had fallen in love with him. I even had dreams of being intimate. These thoughts scared and confused me.

I told my brother how I felt, and just like everything in my life, he helped me sort through my feelings and explained that they were a combination of the love we felt for each other and the effects of puberty. I remember him telling me that my thoughts would change as I matured. He was right.

Your advice was spot on, but I would have told “Little Brother” to talk directly to his brother. He sounds so much like mine. I am now 32 and married with two sons. My brother is still my hero and the first person I turn to for help and advice. He has never let me down. He was the best “Dad” anyone could have asked for.

— Tim Dear Tim: Your brother was uncommonly mature. You are fortunate that he continues to advise you with kindness and wisdom.

Annie’s Snippet for Patriot Day (author unknown): Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
