U.S., allies begin strikes in Syria — and captured large swaths of Syria and northern and western Iraq. U.S. officials said the airstrikes began around 6:30 p.m. MDT, and were conducted by the U.S., Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The first wave of strikes finished about 90 minutes later, but the operation was expected to continue for several more hours, according to one U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to

WASHINGTON — The U.S. and five Arab countries launched airstrikes Monday night on Islamic State group targets in Syria, expanding a military campaign into a country whose three-year civil war has given the brutal militant group a safe haven.
Using a mix of manned aircraft — fighter jets and bombers — plus Tomahawk cruise missiles, the strikes were part of the expanded military campaign that President Barack Obama authorized nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State militants, who have slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners — including two American journalists

ALBUQUERQUE — Federal prosecutors told jurors Monday that their case against Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella is about how his “inability to control his ego and his anger” resulted in Rodella violating the civil rights of a 26-year-old Española man. During opening arguments in Rodella’s trial on charges that he violated the rights of Michael Tommy Tafoya while branRodella dishing a handgun during a “road rage” incident, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara Neda said Rodella injured the victim because the sheriff lost his temper. But Lauren Oliveros, one of Rodella’s lawyers, said the sheriff was enforcing the law when he tried to pull over Tafoya’s vehicle after Rodella saw him drive recklessly March 11 near La Mesilla. She denied the sheriff injured Tafoya. Oliveros argued that Tafoya was the aggressor during the incident. She said Tafoya, who works as a care provider for adults with mental disabilities, participated in dangerous activity, such as brake-checking in front of Rodella’s green SUV, which was being driven by the sheriff’s son. Tafoya is “angry for some reason,” Oliveros said as she described the incident for the jurors. “He’s so angry, he flips the bird.”

ALBUQUERQUE — A former Interstate Stream Commission member on Monday charged that the commission and its subcommittee studying possible Gila River projects committed more than a dozen violations of the state Open Meetings Act. Norman Gaume, a retired Santa Fe engineer, handed the commission a letter saying every action taken by the Gila River subcommittee is void due to the “egregious violations,” including what he called “secret” meetings without public notice and the commission’s failure to approve contracts worth more than $100,000. Interstate Stream Commission Director Estevan Lopez, who has been nominated as commissioner of the federal Bureau of Reclamation, declined to comment on the allegations. The commission did not discuss the allegations with Gaume. Gaume said he will decide in the next 15 days whether to take the commission to court over the allegations. He has hired the Santa Fe law firm of Egolf, Ferlic and Day. Gaume is among a number of

Climate change brings menu change for polar bears Animals find unexpected new staple, but impact on environment unclear

covered a new menu option. They eat snow geese. Because the ice is melting earlier, the bears come on shore earlier, and the timing turns out to be fortunate for them. As a strange side-effect of climate change, polar bears here now often arrive in the midst of a large snow goose summer breeding ground before the geese have hatched and fledged. And with 75,000 pairs of snow geese on the Cape Churchill peninsula — the result of a continuing goose population explosion — there is an abundant new supply of food for the bears.

LA PEROUSE BAY, Manitoba — The sea ice here on the western shore of Hudson Bay breaks up each summer and leaves the polar bears swimming for shore. The image of forlorn bears on small rafts of ice has become a symbol of the dangers of climate change. And for good reason. A warming planet means less ice coverage of the Arctic Sea, leaving the bears with less time and less ice for hunting seals. They depend on seals for their survival.

Apple’s new iPhones set sales record
In brief
By Hayley Tsukayama
HONG KONG — Thousands of Hong Kong college and university students boycotted classes Monday to protest Beijing’s decision to restrict voting reforms, the start of a weeklong strike that marks the latest phase in the battle for democracy in the southern Chinese city. The strike comes as dozens of the city’s tycoons and business leaders paid a rare group visit to Beijing to meet with China’s communist leaders, who want to bolster support from Hong Kong’s pro-establishment billionaire elites for the central government’s policies on the semiautonomous city. Student organizers are dismayed over Beijing’s decision in August to rule out open nominations for candidates under proposed guidelines for the first-ever elections for Hong Kong’s top leader, promised for 2017. Discontent over democratic reform is especially acute among Hong Kong’s young people, who worry about their prospects amid widening inequality they blame on billionaire tycoons who have Beijing’s ear.

Apple said on Monday that it had set a record for iPhone sales during its first weekend — and that was without the smartphone selling in China, one of the largest markets in the world. The Cupertino, Calif., company said it had sold a whopping 10 million units of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, exceeding the 9 million phones it had sold last year when the iPhone 5s and 5c became available. The hot-selling smartphones, which sport larger displays, are an indication of the high demand for bigger screens. “Basically, they hit a home run with the release,” said Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. The largerscreen phones filled in a major hole in Apple’s product line, he said. Apple didn’t break down how many of each phone it sold, only releasing the overall number sold to customers and retailers and shipped as the result of preorders. It’s hard to say how many phones are actually in consumers’ hands. Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook said the company also set a record for how many devices reached consumers, in addition to breaking the overall record. “Sales for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded our expectations for the launch weekend, and we couldn’t be happier,” Cook said in a statement.

Changes at White House loom after intruder alert By Pete Yost and Alicia A. Caldwell The Associated Press
WASHINGTON resident Barack Obama is “obviously concerned” about a weekend White House breach by an ex-soldier with a small knife who scaled a fence, sprinted across the lawn and entered the mansion before being arrested, a spokesman says. The Secret Service increased its security on Monday around the perimeter of the White House, the presidential residence and one of the government’s enduring symbols, while investigating how officers had allowed the incident to happen. The breach led to a rare evacuation of much of the White House. Obama and his family were headed to Camp David when the breach occurred Friday evening. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the Secret Service investigation will include a review of protective efforts both inside the White House grounds and outside the fence line along Pennsylvania Avenue, including staffing and threat assessment policies and procedures. Omar J. Gonzalez, a 42-year-old Army veteran from Copperas Cove, Texas, faces charges of entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon. The Army says Gonzalez served from 1997 until his discharge in 2003, and again from 2005 to December 2012, when he retired due to disability. He was to appear in federal court later Monday. Gonzalez was arrested by Virginia state troopers after a traffic stop in July. Wythe County Deputy Commonwealth Attorney David Saliba said Monday that Gonzalez had a sawed off shotgun, two powerful rifles, four handguns and other guns and ammunition in his Ford Bronco when troopers stopped him in southwestern Virginia July 19. Saliba said Gonzalez initially tried to flee troopers, weaving and driving onto a highway median. Gonzalez was arrested at the scene after a trooper found the illegal shotgun in his car. The ammunition and weapons, including a tomahawk hatchet, were seized later. Gonzales also had a map of Washington, D.C. and camping equipment. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he would ultimately review the findings of the investigation ordered by Secret Service Director Julia Pierson. Johnson said the public should not rush to judgment about the security breach and urged against second-guessing security officers whom he said “had only seconds to act.”

The Secret Service didn’t open fire on Gonzalez or send attack dogs after him. Officers who spotted Gonzalez scale the fence quickly assessed that he didn’t have any weapons in his hands and wasn’t wearing clothing that could conceal substantial quantities of explosives, a primary reason agents did not fire their weapons, according to a U.S. official briefed on the investigation. Another consideration was whether bystanders behind the fence could have been injured by errant gunfire, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation by name and spoke only on condition of anonymity. The Secret Service has long tried to balance public access to the “People’s House” and security of the presidential residence. The two-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House’s north gates has been closed to vehicle traffic since May 1995, when President Bill Clinton ordered the immediate closure of the road in an effort to prevent a potential car- or truck-bomb attack. On any given day, numerous uniformed officers can be seen patrolling parts of the sprawling lawns on either side of the White House, and others are stationed along the fence line on Pennsylvania Avenue. Monday morning, several officers patrolled the fence line, including one with a dog. But the pedestrian-only zone hasn’t entirely prevented security breaches along the fence or Pennsylvania Avenue

In the thick of a difficult re-election campaign, Gov. Tom Corbett could have been tempted to place himself front and center of the effort to capture the gunman who ambushed a Pennsylvania State Police barracks, killing a trooper and injuring another. Instead, Corbett has largely stayed in the background as he allows state police officials to be the public face of a manhunt for Eric Frein, the 31-year-old survivalist who’s believed to be hiding in the Poconos Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. The first-term Republican attended Cpl. Bryon Dickson’s funeral last week but didn’t speak. On Monday, the 10th full day of the search, he expressed confidence that state police would capture the man he called an assassin. Frein is accused of killing Dickson and injuring another trooper in the Sept. 12 ambush.
Militants kidnap Frenchman in Algeria, threaten to kill him ALGIERS, Algeria — A splinter group from al-Qaida’s North African branch kidnapped a French citizen and said Monday that it would kill him unless France halts it airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq. In a video that appeared on social media, a masked member of a group calling itself Jund al-Khilafah, or Soldiers of the Caliphate, addressed the threat to French President Francois Hollande and said the hostage would be killed unless the airstrikes were halted within 24 hours. The French Foreign Ministry confirmed the authenticity of the video and identified the hostage as 55-year-old Herve Gourdel.
Sierra Leone, Liberia brace and prepare for new Ebola cases FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Two of the West African nations hardest hit by Ebola were bracing for new caseloads on Monday after trying to outflank the outbreak with a nationwide checkup and a large new clinic. Sierra Leone was expected to announce a sharp increase in Ebola patients Tuesday following a nationwide effort to identify new cases, while Liberia opened its largest treatment center yet. Both countries have poor health systems, weakened by the loss to Ebola of many of doctors and nurses. The World Health Organization estimated last week that they have only about 20 percent of the beds they need to treat Ebola patients. Still, identifying the sick is fundamental to containing the disease, and Sierra Leone went to an extreme, ordering an entire nation’s people to remain at home while teams went door to door handing out soap and information. More than 1 million households were checked for Ebola and told how to prevent its spread, authorities said.

Pew poll: Americans’ support for gay marriage may be leveling off A survey released Monday from the Pew Research Center indicates American support for same-sex marriage could be leveling off after several years of dramatic growth in acceptance of equal rights for gays and lesbians. The study’s authors caution it’s too soon to draw any definitive conclusions. But the new poll released Monday found a 5 percentage point drop since February, from 54 percent to 49 percent, in Americans who want legal recognition for samesex relationships. The percentage of those opposed increased during that same period, from 39 percent in February to 41 percent last month. The poll of 2,002 adults, conducted Sept. 2-9, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. “Since we’ve seen this upward trend for so long, we’re cautious because it’s too early to say what this means,” said Jessica Martinez, a researcher in Pew’s Religion and Public Life Project. “As we continue to ask this question in other surveys, we’ll keep an eye on where this moves.” The findings were part of a survey in which nearly threequarters of Americans said religious influence in public life was waning and most saw that as a negative trend. About half of respondents said churches and houses of worship should speak

Forum: Both list education and economy as top issues Continued from Page A-1 room, while Martinez’s voice, for the most part, was loud and clear. Fortunately for King, some who watched the forum on television reported that there were no on-air audio problems for King. Some complained that the debate was predictable, with no real news coming out of it. That would be good news for Martinez, who has a comfortable lead over King in the latest poll. Martinez used her introductory statement as a short stump speech, saying she has kept the promises she made in 2010 to “balance the budget without raising taxes on families and small businesses,” make the state more business friendly and “take on the status quo” to work for reform in education. She repeated much of the rhetoric seen in her campaign literature, including that she, in 2011, turned around “the largest structural budget deficit in state history.” Various sources have repeatedly pointed out that the Legislative Finance Committee already had proposed a budget that included no tax increases before the legislative session started that year. The governor also declared that she has cut taxes 24 times. Some of those instances involved extensions or expansions of existing tax breaks, while one of them, the 2013 bill that cut corporate tax rates, passed along the revenue hit to local governments. Martinez also used the opportunity to offer a slogan that she would repeat at other times during the debate — that she’s a “leader, not a politician.” King, in his opening statement, started by talking about Martinez’s recent ads about “The Casanova Con Man,” a swindler who was sentenced in 2007 to 34 years in prison on several counts of fraud in a Santa Fe case and was released from prison two years later with no opposition from the Attorney General’s Office. King, who has served as attorney general since 2007, pointed out that it was his office who brought Michael Soutar to justice and convicted him in the first place. “The rest of the outcome, not so good,” King admitted. But the attorney general soon pivoted to another topic, saying Martinez hasn’t run campaign ads about the state’s economy. “We don’t want to talk about the real hard truth in New Mexico,” he said. “And the real hard truth in New Mexico is that we have the worst economy in the country.” King then discussed statistics showing New Mexico trailing other states in job creation, and he brought up a U.S. Census Bureau report released last week that showed the number of New Mexicans living in poverty increased by more than 20,000 last year. Martinez never directly referred to those statistics. When talking about the economy, she referred to the state’s longtime dependence on the federal government for employment and how federal spending cuts have hurt the state. She said diversifying the economy is necessary to wean the state from federal dependency. Referring to the 2013 tax cuts, which, as she pointed out, passed with broad bipartisan support, Martinez said, “We have rolled out the welcome mat and companies are coming.” She said she would head to Rio Rancho after the forum to celebrate the opening of DHF Technical Products, a California manufacturer that came to New Mexico and brought 50 new jobs. King disagreed with Martinez’s economic development policies, saying the state shouldn’t “willy-nilly give tax cuts” and “tax breaks for people who are doing the very best.” Instead, he said, the state should focus on investing in New Mexico businesses, developing alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and explore new uses for natural gas. He also reiterated his support for a minimum wage increase. Both candidates identified the economy and education as top priorities. Martinez once again called for legislation to hold back third-graders who can’t read at their grade level. She has been pushing for such a change since her first year in office, but she has been unable get the proposal through the Democrat-controlled Legislature. The governor said she didn’t know what King was talking about when he brought up corporations that profit from testing students. She said she supports the government privatizing some services, but not education. King expressed support for a constitutional amendment that would increase the yearly distribution from one of the state’s permanent funds to pay for expanding early childhood education programs. Martinez has opposed such a move, saying it would erode the investment funds. In one of the more humorous jibes during the forum, King said his shoes were “scuffed and dusty” from visiting New Mexico towns on the campaign trail, but Martinez’s shoes were “nice and polished” from attending high-brow fundraisers across the country. In fundraising, King has been able to raise only a fraction of Martinez’s total, which has allowed the incumbent to dominate the airwaves with campaign ads.

Stream: Diversion/reservoir project controversial Continued from Page A-1 people vehemently opposed to construction of a water diversion and reservoir project in the Gila River Basin, which he said would cost nearly $1 billion and produce very little usable water. New Mexico stands to gain millions of dollars and up to 14,000 acre-feet of water annually from the Gila River under the 2004 Arizona Water Settlements Act. But the Interstate Stream Commission must decide by the end of the year which of more than a dozen water projects to fund — including diversion, reuse, recycling and conservation projects — or lose both the money and the water allocation. The headwaters of the Gila and San Francisco rivers are in New Mexico, but flows end up in Arizona. New Mexico can only siphon its portion of water during highflow events, of which there are few, according to Gaume and other scientists at Monday’s commission meeting in Albuquerque. Many sportsmen, conservationists, biologists and Silver City officials oppose a river diversion on the Gila. They say watershed improvements, conservation, water reuse and groundwater development can supply the region. They also claim that diverting the water will mess with the basin’s complicated hydrology and ecosystem, which supports more than 332 bird species and several fish species found only in the Gila River Basin. But watching water flow past his drought-plagued region into Arizona recently upset Anthony Gutierrez, chairman of the Gila San Francisco Water Commission. “I have heard about how capturing some of that water won’t work and is fatally flawed,” Gutierrez told the Interstate Stream Commission on Monday. “But if we can’t retain any of that water, we don’t see any benefit.” The commission he chairs represents 18 local governments, water and ditch associations in southwestern New Mexico who want a river diversion and the federal funding.
The Gila River, near Cliff. New Mexico stands to gain millions of dollars and up to 14,000 acre-feet of water annually from the Gila River under the 2004 Arizona Water Settlements Act. But the Interstate Stream Commission must decide by the end of the year which of more than a dozen water projects to fund — including diversion, reuse, recycling and conservation projects — or lose both the money and the water allocation. COURTESY DENNIS O’KEEFE/GILA CONSERVATION COALITION
The money available from the federal government could be leveraged with investments and bonds, making it possible to pay for many of the proposed water projects without tapping state coffers. Southwestern New Mexico towns, farmers, conservationists, sportsmen and the state have worked on proposals for more than a decade. The commission narrowed the list to 16 from 45 and was to choose preliminary projects for funding in August. The decision, however, was postponed until November. The Interstate Stream Commission has until Dec. 31 to choose projects and divide funding under the Arizona settlement. Its decision will be sent to the U.S. Department of the Interior. Under the settlement, New Mexico was allotted $66 million for water conservation or reuse projects and $34 million to build a river diversion project. But the projected cost, based on Bureau of Reclamation numbers, is closer to $1 billion
to build the diversion, pipes system and reservoirs, Gaume said. Officials in some areas want to use their share of federal funding to beef up wells, build wastewater recycling systems and boost water conservation. Silver City officials don’t want a river diversion project to serve the community’s 19,000 water customers. Mayor Michael Morones said he doesn’t think his city’s preferred water reuse and conservation projects are the ones preferred by members of the Interstate Stream Commission or by some other Southern New Mexico towns. “A certain body of population wants a big project to be done, including diversion,” said Morones, who was born and raised in Silver City near the Gila River. “I just don’t believe it is a practical approach. I don’t believe what they are looking to do will qualify. I don’t believe they will have the water they think they will.” Morones said the town plans to seek alternate funding for water
projects even if they aren’t funded by the commission under the Arizona Water Settlements Act. Officials from places such as Deming and Grant County, where Gutierrez is a planner, want the water piped from the Gila and San Francisco rivers into reservoirs. Interstate Stream Commission staff and Lopez have said in the past that a river diversion project needs to be part of the mix that the commission considers for funding. River advocates are infuriated at the idea that the state’s last freeflowing river would be dammed. Craig Roepke, the commission’s deputy director, has said in the past that the diversions aren’t dams but structures that can be raised to siphon water only during high-flow events. Roepke did not respond to requests for comments for this story. Contact Staci Matlock at 986-3055 or smatlock@ sfnewmexican.com. Follow her on Twitter @stacimatlock.
Syria: Opposition group leader welcomes strikes Continued from Page A-1 Arabic name to refer to the Islamic State group. At a conference on Sept. 11 with Secretary of State John Kerry, key Arab allies promised they would “do their share” to fight the Islamic State militants. The Obama administration, which at a NATO meeting in Wales earlier this month also got commitments from European allies as well as Canada and Australia, has insisted that the fight against the Islamic State militants could not be the United States’ fight alone. Because the military operation was ongoing, few details could be provided, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s press secretary. He said the military made the decision to strike early Monday. A White House official said Obama was being updated. The strikes were carried out by manned Air Force and Navy aircraft, and the Tomahawk missiles were launched from U.S. ships in the northern Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is in the Gulf. Some of the airstrikes were against Islamic State group’s selfdeclared capital in Raqqa in northeastern Syria. Military officials have said the U.S. would target militants’ command and control centers, resupply facilities, training camps and other key logistical sites.
Syrian activists reported several airstrikes on militant targets in Raqqa. One Raqqa-based activist, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the airstrikes lit the night sky over the city, and reported a power cut that lasted for two hours. The head of the main Westernbacked Syrian opposition group, Hadi Bahra, welcomed the commencement of airstrikes in Syria. “Tonight, the international community has joined our fight against ISIS in Syria,” he said in a statement, using an alternate acronym for the Islamic State. “We have called for airstrikes such as those that commenced tonight with a heavy heart and deep concern, as these strikes begin in our own homeland. We insist that utmost care is taken to avoid civilian casualties.” An anti-militant media collective called “Raqqa is being silently slaughtered” said among the targets were Islamic State buildings used as the group’s headquarters, and the Brigade 93, a Syrian army base that the militants recently seized. Other airstrikes targeted the town of Tabqa and Tel Abyad in Raqqa province, it said. Their claims could not be independently verified. “We will be prepared to strike ISIL targets in Syria that degrade ISIL’s capabilities,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators last
week, using one of the acronyms for the Islamic State group. “This won’t look like a shock-and-awe campaign, because that’s simply not how ISIL is organized, but it will be a persistent and sustainable campaign. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the plan “includes targeted actions against ISIL safe havens in Syria, including its command and control logistics capabilities and infrastructure.” He said he and Dempsey approved the plan. The U.S. has also been increasing its surveillance flights over Syria, getting better intelligence on potential targets and militant movements. None of Monday’s airstrikes were from drones. Military leaders have said about two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 Islamic State militants were in Syria. Some officials have expressed concern that going after Islamic State militants in Syria could inadvertently help Syrian President Bashar Assad, since the militants are fighting in part to overthrow Assad. In a speech Sept. 10, Obama vowed to go after the Islamic State militants wherever they may be. And his military and defense leaders told Congress last week that airstrikes within Syria are meant to disrupt the group’s momentum and provide time for the U.S. and allies to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels. The U.S. military has been
launching targeted airstrikes in Iraq since August, focusing specifically on attacks to protect U.S. interests and personnel, assist Iraqi refugees and secure critical infrastructure. Last week, as part of the newly expanded campaign, the U.S. began going after militant targets across Iraq, including enemy fighters, outposts, equipment and weapons. To date U.S. fighter aircraft, bombers and drones have launched about 190 airstrikes within Iraq. Urged on by the White House and U.S. defense and military officials, Congress passed legislation late last week authorizing the military to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels. Obama signed the bill into law Friday, providing $500 million for the U.S. to train about 5,000 rebels over the next year. U.S. leaders have also been crisscrossing the globe trying to build a broad international coalition of nations, including Arab countries, to go after the Islamic State group and help train and equip the Iraqi security forces and the Syrian rebels. The militant group, meanwhile, has threatened retribution. Its spokesman, Abu Mohammed alAdnani, said in a 42-minute audio statement released Sunday that the fighters were ready to battle the U.S.-led military coalition and called for attacks at home and abroad.
Rodella: Man says he thought life was in danger Continued from Page A-1 Tafoya pulled over to the side of the road to let the sheriff’s Jeep pass, prosecutors said. The Rodellas then parked in front of Tafoya, whom prosecutors described as 5-foot-6 and 135 pounds, and motioned for him to fight them, prosecutors said. Tafoya, who took the witness stand to testify about his version of the 10-minute encounter with Rodella, said he didn’t know that Rodella was trying to pull him over because he didn’t immediately know that Rodella, who was not in uniform, was the sheriff. Tafoya decided to speed away because he “was afraid.” He said the Rodellas chased him at high speeds, reaching about 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. After a 3-mile chase, the Rodellas blocked
Tafoya’s car at the end of a deadend private lane, Tafoya said, before the sheriff jumped into Tafoya’s car and assaulted him with a silver revolver. He said he begged to Rodella, “Please don’t kill me.” But Rodella “told me, ‘It’s too late, It’s too late,’ ” Tafoya testified. Prosecutors told jurors that Tommy Rodella Jr. then dragged Tafoya out of his car and threw him face-down in the dirt and shouted, “Don’t you know this is the sheriff?” “I thought they were going to execute me,” Tafoya testified. Tafoya said he asked to see the sheriff’s badge and Rodella pulled Tafoya’s head up by his hair and slammed a badge into Tafoya’s right cheek. Rodella then called for backup as his son held Tafoya on the ground, Tafoya said. When other deputies
arrived, Tafoya told them that “he was sorry” and that he didn’t know Rodella was the sheriff. Rodella arrested Tafoya on charges of assault on a peace officer, aggravated assault and resisting or obstructing an officer. A judge dismissed the charges in late March. FBI agents arrested the sheriff on Aug. 15 after a grand jury indicted him Aug. 12. Rodella’s son also was indicted in the case, but prosecutors later dropped the charges against him because of a medical condition. The son’s lawyer, Jason Bowles, has said the younger Rodella suffers from a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder developed after serving with the Army in Kosovo. Since the sheriff’s arrest in August, three other motorists have complained to federal authorities
that Rodella unlawfully pulled them over. All three are expected to testify this week that Rodella displayed road rage during the traffic stops. U.S. District Judge James O. Browning told jurors that the trial is expected to last about five days. If Rodella is found guilty on both charges, the sheriff could face up to 17 years in prison, said Elizabeth Martinez, a U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman. Tafoya is expected to take the stand Tuesday to be questioned by Robert Gorence, one of Rodella’s attorneys. Undersheriff Vince Crespin is expected to be called to testify after Tafoya’s cross-examination, Neda said. Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062 or ugarcia@sfnewmexican.com.

Businesses, investors press for green policy as leaders meet By Jonathan Fahey The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hundreds of corporations, insurance companies and pension funds are calling on world leaders gathering for a U.N. summit on climate change this week to attack the problem by making it more costly for businesses and ordinary people to pollute. The idea, long advocated by policymakers, economists and environmental activists, is that the world can’t hope to slow the heating of the planet until its cost is incorporated into the everyday activities that contribute to it, such as using gas- or coal-generated electricity, driving a car, shipping a package or flying around the globe. Business leaders representing trillions of dollars in revenue
and retirement savings say they worry that global warming threatens the long-term value of their investments, and they want world leaders to adopt policies that would provide a financial incentive to people to clean up their act. That could include a tax on carbon emissions, a cap or some other mechanism. “There’s a market failure that needs to be fixed,” said Anne Simpson, senior portfolio manager and director of global governance at the $300 billion California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the largest public pension fund in the U.S. Despite a broad consensus that something needs to be done, it has been impossible so far for global leaders to agree on how to implement what amounts to a price on pollution,
because energy is so important for economic growth. “It may be easier to get large businesses to agree that something should be done than to get them to coalesce around specific policy measures,” said Michael Levi, senior fellow for energy and the environment at the Council on Foreign Relations. At Tuesday’s U.N. summit, 120 world leaders will try to summon some of the political will required if a new climate treaty is to be reached at international negotiations next year in Paris. The one-day summit is part of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s push to help world leaders to reach a goal they set in 2009: prevent Earth’s temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit from where it is now. On Sunday, scientists
announced that the world set another record last year for the amount of carbon pollution spewed into the atmosphere. Ahead of the summit, business leaders such as Apple’s Tim Cook renewed or expanded pledges to help the planet by running their businesses more efficiently, investing in renewable energy or pulling their investments from fossil fuel companies. Last week, CalPERS and other big asset-holders such as the insurance and financial firms Allianz, BlackRock and AXA Group called for a “meaningful” price on carbon emissions. The World Bank said Monday that 73 countries and more than 1,000 companies have expressed their support for a price on carbon. Also on Monday, a parade of
business and political leaders tried to rally support in a series of speeches in New York. “It doesn’t cost more to deal with climate change; it costs more to ignore it,” said Secretary of State John Kerry. Cook said customers care about the planet and will “vote with their dollars” for sustainably produced products. He outlined the steps Apple is taking to reduce the carbon emissions of its products and its supply chain, and called for broader action. “The long-term consequences of not addressing climate change are huge,” he said. “I don’t think anyone can overstate that.” While many insist a transition to a cleaner economy can boost economic growth or at least not harm it, many worry it would
slow the global economy and make it more difficult for people in developing nations to get access to even basic electricity and transportation. Even those who agree that the transition must take place can’t agree on how to do it. The International Energy Agency estimates that $1 trillion per year must be invested through 2050 in clean energy in order to keep global temperatures from rising past a level that scientists consider especially dangerous. Charging a price for carbon emissions could prod polluters to change their ways by making it in their financial self-interest to do so. It would make fossil fuel investments less profitable and therefore less attractive. And it would make clean energy more lucrative.
Menu: Polar bears, geese, plants, land share complex relationship Continued from Page A-1 What’s good for the bears, however, has been devastating to the plants and the landscape, with the geese turning large swaths of tundra into barren mud. Nor does it mean the bears are going to be OK in the long run. What is clear is that this longpopular fall destination for polar bear tourism has become a case study in how climate change collides with other environmental changes at the local level and plays out in a blend of domino effects, trade-offs and offsets. “The system is a lot more complicated than anybody thought,” said Robert H. Rockwell, who runs the Hudson Bay Project, a decades-long effort to monitor the environment. To fully appreciate how the chain reaction plays out in La Perouse Bay requires studying the individual links in the chain — the geese, the bears, and the plants and the land beneath them.
Good for the goose Rockwell, 68, has been counting geese in this area every summer since 1969. In the late 1970s, he started building his current camp — a few buildings surrounded by an electric bear fence. It is reachable by helicopter only from nearby Churchill. From this vantage point, Rockwell and his team have witnessed the snow goose population swell to the point where they are harming their own nesting grounds. The number of snow geese that live and migrate in the continent’s central flyway exploded from about 1.5 million in the ’60s to about 15 million now, and many of them nest here or stop by on their way farther north. The reason for the increase, Rockwell said, can be traced largely to Louisiana and Texas, in the coastal marshes where the geese long spent their winters feeding on spartina, also known as salt hay or salt meadow cordgrass. They then migrate north in spring to nest and raise goslings on grass and sedges and other plants in the marsh and tundra of the bay shore. The goose population, Rockwell said, was once limited in size by its sparse winter food supply in Southern states. “After many of the marshes were drained for various kinds of development, “the snow geese just sort of said, well, wait a minute, what was that green stuff just north of here? And it turns out those are the rice prairies,” he said. Having found the rice farther north in Louisiana, the geese continued to explore and expand their winter range, finding the vast agricultural fields of the Midwest. “So a species that was once in part limited by winter habitat now has an infinite winter supply of food, and that includes the best agricultural products: corn, wheat, soybeans, canola, rapeseed, all of that,” Rockwell said. Some snow geese now winter in Nebraska and Iowa where these crops are grown. But they keep coming to the sub-Arctic and the Arctic in the summer, following ancient habit. During Rockwell’s time here, the colony increased from 2,500 pairs to 75,000, and the birds moved as far as 20 miles inland as they ruined areas near the coast because of their eating habits.

LOCAL NEWS Officer’s stolen handgun recovered Three people arrested in connection to theft By Chris Quintana The New Mexican
The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday that deputies recovered a handgun stolen from the car of a New Mexico Corrections Department employee earlier this month and arrested three people in connection with the theft and two other auto burglaries in Eldorado. Antonio Chavez, 31, of Santa Fe was arrested on charge of three counts of aggravated burglary, three counts of larceny, identity theft and conspiracy.
In brief New shuttle draws 65 riders on weekend Sixty-five riders took advantage of the city’s free shuttle service between the Santa Fe University of Art and Design campus and the downtown area during the first weekend of the publicly funded pilot project. Nobody used the shuttle on Thursday, but 40 rode the bus on Friday and 25 on Saturday, city spokesman Matt Ross said. The shuttle service, which is available to the general public, was proposed by Mayor Javier Gonzales as a way to boost business and connect a younger crowd with the heart of the city. The shuttles are scheduled to run from 6 to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday during the fall semester between the university campus on St. Michael’s Drive and the Plaza and the Railyard. The City Council, which recently approved the estimated $18,300 pilot project on a 6-1 vote, will receive a report back in November.
Two others, Ana Lara, 26, of Bernalillo and Edward Lucio, 33, of Santa Fe were arrested on charges of receiving or transferring stolen property and conspiracy. Detectives are still searching for a fourth person, Elvis Lopez, 18, who is wanted for burglary, larceny, criminal damage to property, conspiracy and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to a news release. A Magistrate Court document says that Chavez asked a friend to drive him out to Eldorado on Sept. 8 so he could “retrieve some personal items from a friend’s house.” According to an affidavit in the case, Chavez stole items from three cars including the corrections officer’s duty bag containing a .40 caliber handgun, a bulletproof vest, a law
enforcement badge, a Taser, a duty belt, a baton and a set handcuffs. The corrections officer said her vehicle was locked at the time. But the affidavit says that Chavez claimed only to target unlocked vehicles. And Deborah Martinez, a spokeswoman with the sheriff’s office, said a deputy confirmed that there were “no signs of forced entry.” Attempts to reach the corrections officer were unsuccessful. After taking items from the vehicles, Chavez, the driver and a second woman who was in the car, went to McDonald’s where he allegedly used a stolen credit card to buy $30 worth of food, the document says. Chavez, who was arrested on Sept. 14 in connection with an
unrelated case, denied the charges, according to an affidavit. Lara agreed to sell the firearm and the deputy’s badge for Chavez. Deputies later identified the buyer of the gun as Lucio, who paid $125 for it. Lucio told police that he sold the gun to a friend. The sheriff’s office then received a call from an unidentified male who told them the gun was at Ragle Park. Another deputy later found it there in a trash can. Martinez said the badge, which was sold for $20 by Lara, had not been recovered. The bulletproof vest was also recovered, but other items are still missing. The handgun will be returned to the Department of Corrections, Martinez said.

24 Carlsbad residents take shelter at nearby high school
CARLSBAD ome Carlsbad residents spent part of the night in a shelter after authorities went door to door early Monday warning them to leave because of Pecos River flooding, while dozens of area roads were closed. The floodwaters began receding later in the morning, and authorities said dams along the river were working properly. Bureau of Reclamation officials said Brantley Reservoir, some 10 miles north of Carlsbad, was holding about 59,000 acre-feet of water. The reservoir’s flood capacity is about 1 million acre-feet, so officials said there was plenty of room to continue capturing any inflow. An acre foot is nearly 326,000 gallons, or enough to cover a football field with a foot of water. The bureau shut down releases from Brantley late last week in anticipation of the storms.

Kenny Rayroux said the Pecos River, which runs through Carlsbad, was receding after cresting at about 3:30 a.m. Monday. He was not immediately available to provide details on flooding or the river depth. At about 1:30 a.m., police, deputies and National Guard soldiers went door to door to tell residents of 110 homes that they needed to evacuate, Rayroux said. Red Cross spokeswoman Beverly Allen said 24 people took refuge at a shelter at Carlsbad High School. Some others went to stay with friends or relatives. “As far as we can tell, people are pretty much back out of the way,” Rayroux said. Dozens of roads and streets in the Carlsbad area were closed, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park officials said the park would remain closed Monday due to hazardous road conditions from high water and debris on the road. The park closed late last week because of road conditions.

Monte del Sol and Tierra Encantada plan to move away from district control
As part of an effort to gain more independence and direct federal funding, two more Santa Fe charter schools are moving forward with an application for state recognition. The governing board of Monte del Sol Charter School, which serves about 360 students in grades 7-12, recently voted to apply for state authorization for its charter. And on Sunday, Daniel Benavidez, director of Tierra Encantada Charter School, which serves 360 students in grades 7-12, said in an e-mail that his school is pursuing a state charter as well. In July, Turquoise Trail Charter School, another district-authorized charter serving about 500 students from pre-K to the sixth grade, announced it would apply for state authorization. That means three of the district’s four charter schools are attempting to move out from under district control. The fourth, the Academy for Technology and the Classics, said it will stay with the district. The four schools collectively serve about 1,470 students and their charters up are for renewal by the summer of 2015. This summer, Santa Fe Public Schools began paying closer attention to their charter schools’ academic and financial programs as it considers approving their charter renewals. In 2013, the district also asked the heads of those schools to agree to certain performance compacts to ensure greater accountability and transparency. But none of the three heads of the charters in question said that is the reason behind their moves. They cite having more freedom in pursuing their school’s mission and easier access to federal funds. For instance, Monte del Sol head learner Robert Jessen said state authorization gains the school more Title II federal funds to use professional development money for training specific to the needs of its teachers and students. Now the school district receives those funds, sets up professional development training and invites charter school teachers to attend, he said. The financial benefit would otherwise be slim for these three schools — they must pay 2 percent of their operational budget for authorization, be it from the district or the state. Jessen also said the state allows for more autonomy with scheduling. For instance, the district charters now follow Santa Fe Public Schools’ calendar in terms of scheduling winter, spring and summer breaks. As a state charter Monte del Sol could expand its learning day — as New Mexico School for the Arts, a state charter located in Santa Fe, does — or expand its school year into the summer months. The only drawback Jessen sees is that the move would not allow the school to draw on district school buses to transport students. But he believes the school could set up a contract with the district to continue that service. Benavidez echoed many of Jessen’s points and said it will be easier for the school to deal directly with the state rather than to use the district as a “middle man.” He said his school has enjoyed a
Pueblo man pleads guilty in abuse case A 22-year-old Santo Domingo Pueblo man pleaded guilty Monday to an aggravated sexual abuse charge, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albuquerque said. Javin Keith Reano, 22, was arrested in May 2014 on a charge that he sexually assaulted a Native American woman on July 19, 2013 at Santo Domingo, also known as Kewa Pueblo, a news release said. As part of a plea agreement Monday, Reano acknowledged that he forced the woman to engage in sexual acts against her will. Under the plea deal, Reano will spend seven years in federal prison, followed by a probationary period to be decided by a judge. Reano also will have to register as a sex offender. The 22-year-old will remain in federal custody until his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled. The news release described the conviction as part of a program between the U.S. Attorney’s Office and tribal governments to address violence against Native American women.

Campaign ad war in Pearce, Lara race heats up Over $6 million spent in this year’s election races By Sandra Fish New Mexico In Depth
The ad war in the 2nd Congressional District race between incumbent GOP Rep. Steve Pearce and Democratic challenger Rocky Lara is heating up. Lara is outspending Pearce for ads running in September, $209,020 to $151,265. But Pearce retains a substantial lead in spending on campaign TV ads, with more than $600,000 in ads scheduled through Election Day. Pearce the thirdlargest ad spender among New Mexico’s political candidates, behind Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and Democrat U.S. Sen. Tom Udall. The $209,020 that Lara’s campaign is spending is for ads that will run through
next Sunday, Sept. 28. According to the latest reports, Lara hadn’t purchased ad time past Sept. 28. Pearce’s first ads began running Sept. 10 and Lara’s appeared a couple of days later, government records show. Pearce’s and Lara’s spending in the 2nd Congressional District race helped push spending on political ads in this year’s New Mexico election races beyond $6 million through Friday, Sept. 19. Total ad time would near six straight days of viewing, or 142 hours. As New Mexico In Depth wrote in an initial analysis of the political ad market, Martinez and Udall, both incumbents, account for more than half the ad spending. The only other advertising thus far by a congressional candidate is from Republican Mike Frese, who is challenging Democratic Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham in Congressional District 1. His ad buys

are almost $29,000 for portions of September. Martinez’s ad spending neared $2 million last week, compared with about $358,000 for her Democratic opponent, Attorney General Gary King, who hasn’t been on TV for almost a month. In Udall’s race, his $1.2 million in spending tops the $365,000 spent by his Republican opponent Allen Weh. The analysis is based on filings by TV stations with the Federal Communications Commission. It doesn’t include ads run solely on cable or satellite TV or on radio. New Mexico In Depth will continue to analyze TV political ad buys each Monday through the Nov. 4 election.

Fund to the University of Texas at Brownsville that will be matched by the University of
Texas System to test and commercialize a new communications system at laboratories at the SpaceX Boca Chica complex. “The future of South Texas takes off right behind me,” Perry said. Perry is also providing $2.3 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund toward the spaceport and an additional $13 million from the Spaceport Trust Fund. The U.S. Department of Commerce announced Monday that it had awarded $1.2 million to the University of Texas at Brownsville for a high-tech business incubation facility that could foster a cluster of space industry businesses. SpaceX is expected to create 300 jobs at the site, and Musk said he expected other companies to settle there.
SpaceX already provides resupply missions for the International Space Station with its unmanned Dragon capsule, most recently on Sunday. Last week, SpaceX and Boeing won contracts to carry U.S. astronauts to the space station beginning in 2016 or 2017. Musk said he expects those NASA missions to continue to launch from Florida. NASA has not launched its own crews since the end of the shuttle program in 2011. Musk said he would like to fly to Mars one day but that his goals are not about tourism. He said the question is whether humans become a less vulnerable multi-planet species. “I think the important thing is to develop the technology that will enable ultimately anyone to move to Mars if they really want to,” he said.

Pecos: Boil water advisory in effect Continued from Page A-6 Meanwhile, state authorities have issued a precautionary boil water advisory Monday for water systems in Eddy County near the Pecos River. New Mexico Drinking Water Bureau officials said no contamination had been detected in the drinking water systems as of Monday. Southeastern New Mexico has experienced flooding since Friday as a result of the remnants of Hurricane Odile. But Rayroux said heavy rain Sunday swelled the Pecos, causing the latest inundation. The New Mexico National Guard on Saturday rescued 40 oilfield workers stranded by floodwaters, and a man was found dead near Loving after his vehicle got stuck in water.
Charter: Schools to gain more income
Food is at the heart of Chinese culture.

If you want to eat Chinese food in Santa Fe that is fresh, healthy, tasty and authentic, the best way is to find out Buddah Delight where the local Chinese people go to eat. Almost every day, for lunch or dinner, you’ll find them at Lu Lu’s Chinese Cuisine and Bar. They ask Chef Chu what his specials are, then relax and enjoy green onion pancakes, homemade pot stickers, steamed whole fish, Ma Po tofu, crispy mango shrimp or a heaping serving of spicy beef noodle soup.
Continued from Page A-6 good working relationship with Santa Fe Public Schools but “in order to continue moving upward and onward with our mission we need to be completely separate.” Monte del Sol has a foundation that owns the building off Governor Miles Road. The Tierra Encantada building in the Railyard belongs to the school district — it once housed Alvord Elementary School. State law mandates that districts offer all authorized charter schools available space. Benavidez said the school has a solid lease with the district for a few years and that the school intends to make improvements to the building that will not cost the district anything. “I imagine both schools desire to leave because they are going to receive more income and probably want to get out from under the performance metrics for accountability for the district,” said Steve Carrillo, president of the Santa Fe Board of Education Doug Wine, executive director of the New Mexico Coalition for Charter Schools, said it is unlikely the state will turn down these three schools’ applications, but if it did, they would lose their district charters and close at the end of the school year in June. There are almost 100 charter schools in New Mexico. The state authorized 65 of those charters. The deadline for applying for state authorization is Oct. 1 of this year. In the state’s A-F grading system, Turquoise Trail received an A, Monte del Sol received a B and Tierra Encantada received a C. The Academy for Technology and the Classics earned an A.

All interviews were conducted live by professional interviewers, with multiple callbacks to households that did not initially answer the phone. Land lines, 73 percent, and cellphone numbers, 27 percent, of proven general election voters were used. Legislation allowing most criminal records to be expunged for individuals who were acquitted or had their charges dropped passed the Legislature in 2007 but was vetoed by then-Gov. Bill Richardson. The legislation would have prohibited striking arrest records for crimes against children, sex crimes, domestic violence and driving while intoxicated. According to the Journal sur-

Geographically, voters in New Mexico’s northwest region voiced the strongest opposition. From that region, 57 percent of likely voters said no. “On the one hand, if a person is arrested but not convicted, should this stay on their record for decades to come and perhaps jeopardize job opportunities?” Sanderoff said. “On the other hand, if a person has a pattern of arrests and no convictions, is this something that should be accessible for anyone, from media to employers?”
Fate of Texas’ voter ID law in judge’s hands CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The fate of Texas’ tough voter ID law moved into the hands of a federal judge Monday, following a trial that the U.S. Justice Department said exposed another chapter in the state’s troubling history of discrimination in elections. State attorneys defending the law signed by Republican Gov. Rick Perry in 2011 urged the judge to follow other courts by upholding photo identification requirements. The most recent such case came this month when a federal appeals panel reinstated Wisconsin’s law in time for Election Day. Whether Texas will also get a ruling before then is unclear. U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos ended the twoweek trial in Corpus Christi without signaling when she’ll make a decision, meaning that as of now, an estimated 13.6 million registered Texas voters will need a photo ID to cast a ballot in November. The U.S. Justice Department, which is fighting the law, began closing arguments by flashing onto a projection screen how many eligible voters it says lack an acceptable form of ID: 608,470, a revised lower number than what the DOJ and other law opponents said when the trial began. It also argued that black residents in Texas are four times as likely not to have an ID
as white residents, with Hispanics being three times as likely not to have an ID. Both minority groups are traditionally Democratic voters. “It imposes punishing costs. The burden is far beyond what is usual to vote, and under the circumstances, unsupportable,” said Richard Dellheim, a Justice Department attorney. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder took the unusual step of bringing the weight of his federal office into Texas after the U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down the heart of the U.S. Voting Rights Act, which blocked Texas and eight other states with histories of discrimination from changing their election laws without approval from the DOJ or a federal court. Prior to that landmark ruling, Texas had been barred from enforcing voter ID. The ruling freed those states from the federal oversight, but Holder still dragged Texas back into court to challenge the voter ID law under a remaining — but weaker — section of the Voting Rights Act. Known as Section 2, the provision requires that opponents meet a far higher threshold and prove that Texas intentionally discriminated against minority voters. The office of Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is favored to win the race to replace Perry as governor next year, said law opponents didn’t clear that hurdle. Several minority voters testified during
the trial, including a black retired grandmother who grew up in the segregationist era of poll taxes who described hurdles to voting since the Texas law took effect last year. The voter ID law, however, “will not prevent from voting a single one of the 17 voters who testified,” said Adam Aston, Texas’ deputy solicitor general. Nineteen states have laws that require voters to show photo identification at the polls, and Texas is among four states where legal fights are pending over the issue, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But opponents view Texas’ law as the toughest. Georgia, another Republican stronghold, also recently passed a voter ID law, but the Justice Department portrayed that state’s framework as reasonable in comparison. But unlike in Georgia, Texas’ list of acceptable forms of ID doesn’t include college IDs, but it does permit concealed handgun licenses. The Justice Department also accused the Texas of intentionally skimping on voter outreach after the law was passed. The state deployed mobile voter card units after the law took effect, but those were on the ground for only 11 days. Texas has issued fewer than 300 free voter IDs since the law took effect, according to opponents. Georgia, meanwhile, has issued 2,200 voter IDs under a similar but more robust program.

Sheriffs unhappy about Uber, Lyft restraining Biden security costs order eyed in N.M. ASPEN, Colo. — Two Colorado sheriffs are unhappy about the security costs of Vice President Joe Biden’s short weekend visit to Aspen. Biden was in town for less than 24 hours to speak at an annual conference hosted by the private equity firm Forstmann Little & Co, the Aspen Daily News reported. His 40-car motorcade caused temporary closures Friday and Saturday along its 70-mile route from the Eagle County airport to Aspen. Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said the visit required him to increase staffing beyond the normal three or four deputies he normally has on duty during a shift. When he questioned Forstmann Little about the cost, he said a representative referred him to the Secret Service. When all the costs are totaled, DiSalvo said he intends to send an invoice to the firm showing the “complimentary ser-
ALBUQUERQUE — A state judge is set to hear arguments from a group of taxi and limousine operators seeking to stop ridesharing services from operating in New Mexico. Albuquerque District Judge Nancy Franchini is scheduled Monday to hear arguments in a temporary restraining order hearing from a lawsuit filed by the group. The Public Regulation Commission, which regulates taxis and limos, previously ruled that Lyft and Uber were in violation of state law. However, the two companies have continued to operate. Unlike traditional taxi businesses, Lyft and Uber use smart-phone programs to connect people seeking rides with people who have cars. The president of Yellow Checker Cabs in Albuquerque says the ride-sharing services don’t have proper

Summer of job gains in New Mexico
A
fter eight months in a row of job losses, the state has now bounced back for a summer of employment gains in June, July and August compared with a year ago. The August numbers reported last week showed a gain of 4,600 jobs for the 12-month period, with growth in mining, transportation, warehousing, information technology and hospitality leading the way. Make no mistake, New Mexico still lags the rest of the United States in job growth, and by one measure, it is 48th or 49th in recovery Bruce since the end of the recesKrasnow sion. Business Matters But the increase in employment from July to August, which came in at 0.6 percent when measured against total nonfarm payrolls, actually led the United States, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The loss of higher-paying jobs, however, cannot be ignored, and the numbers indicate that manufacturing collapsed an incredible 10 percent over the 12 months, a loss of 3,000 jobs, with the business services sector down another 2,400 jobs while construction lost 300 jobs. uuu Kati With An I is screened earlier this month during Santa Fe Brew and View at Duel Brewery, 1228 Parkway Drive.

Alternative nightlife With help from city, film series draws a crowd outside downtown area By Chris Quintana The New Mexican
very other Sunday, a film unknown in New Mexico quietly premieres to an eager audience in central Santa Fe. Wes Sheridan and Jesse Fisher, who along with Jackie Munro started the film series, said they created the Santa Fe Brew and View at Duel Brewery to offer different films to residents and to provide an alternative to the city’s limited selection of nightlife options. “The people we draw are looking for an alternative to going out dancing,” Fisher said. “These are people who enjoy having a beer with friends and chatting with friends in a casual atmosphere. Not that there is anything wrong with dance parties, but we would like to see a diverse set of happenings.” The city of Santa Fe awarded Fisher, Sheridan and Munro a $1,000 grant as part of an effort to invigorate Santa Fe’s nighttime economy. Another $4,000 went to Night Wave, a three-night downtown festival with a lineup of musical performances at local watering holes. Fisher and Sheridan took the money in a different direction. They purchased a screen, a projector, a Blu-ray player and a sound system, which are technically on loan from the city of Santa Fe. The organizers have to get permission from the filmmakers before the screenings. Sometimes there’s a fee, but Sheridan said the brewery covers that cost. During a recent Sunday night screening of indie thriller Sun Don’t Shine, Fisher, Sheridan and Munro sat at tables while

the lights dimmed in the small brewery at 1228 Parkway Drive, off Rufina Street. A white screen dropped, and the audience members, sipping beer and munching on Belgian waffles, turned their attention to the film. The film offerings vary greatly in subject matter: One week, it’s an indie comedy; the next, a thoughtful documentary about a rural Midwestern town. The common factor, Sheridan said, is that all of the films have yet to see a New Mexico screening. The series also screens a short flick by local filmmakers at every showing. On Aug. 29, they showed a short film by Santa Fe Community College student Gonzalo Lyon Pollier, and Sheridan said they’re looking for other short films to screen. The three organizers have a personal stake in cinema. All studied film in New York City. Fisher and Munro run a film production com-
pany called Storefront Docs. Sheridan freelances as a videographer and editor. Brew and View started in June and will run through December, Fisher and Sheridan said. The idea, they said, sprouted in April after they found each other on the film-sharing site SimpleMachine. Fisher and business partner Munro wanted to create a documentary film series, and Sheridan wanted to do the same with fiction flicks. By June, they had combined the ideas to create Brew and View. They take turns screening fiction and documentaries. As for the venue, the two said they opted for the midtown brewery because owner Trent Edwards let them have complete control over the series. The fact that Duel is not downtown was a nice bonus but an afterthought, Fisher said. Screening at Duel also means they don’t have to charge for the films.
Kate Noble, the interim director of the city’s Housing and Community Development Division, said Brew and View was awarded city money because it offered a “substantive” nightlife experience outside of downtown. She said the money didn’t violate the city’s anti-donation clause, a section of city language that prevents the government from donating to private businesses. Instead, she said the Economic Development Division is paying Fisher, Munro and Sheridan for a service to “invigorate the nighttime economy.” And Sheridan said they can relocate the screening from Duel should they choose to do so. Attendance has varied for the series, Sheridan said, based on the film. A comedy might attract a younger demographic, while a documentary could attract an older audience. Sheridan said attendance has increased since June but dropped briefly during the Labor Day weekend. At capacity, Duel can hold between 40 to 50 people, and Sheridan said the series filled the brewery a couple of times. While hard numbers are currently unavailable, Fisher said Munro issues surveys at every screening. The information those surveys generate will be given to the city, Fisher said. “I have enough films in my head I would like to show,” Sheridan said. “But we don’t want to wear out the audience.” The next film, The Unspeakable Act, screens 8 p.m. Sunday at Duel Brewing. Admission is free. Contact Chris Quintana at 9863093 or cquintana@sfnewmexican. com. Follow him on Twitter @ CquintanaSF
Speaking of manufacturing, five businesses in Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Taos and Velarde are leading public tours of their facilities on Thursday, Oct. 2, for Manufacturing Day — a national effort to showcase modern manufacturing and generate interest in engineering, design or production careers. In Santa Fe, Herbs Etc. and La Puerta Originals are offering the public a look at how they make their products. Herbs Etc., which formulates herbal treatments and supplements at its Santa Fe facility, will offer guided tours from 9 to 11 a.m. The company will provide beard nets, hair nets and lab coats that participants must wear in the lab and production area. La Puerta Originals designs and builds furniture and design elements for commercial and residential customers using salvaged wood doors and other antique materials at its shop on N.M. 14 just south of town. Two tours are scheduled at La Puerta at noon and 1 p.m. The company will provide safety glasses to participants. To the east, Old Wood opens the doors of its Las Vegas, N.M., shop from 9 to 11 a.m. to show visitors how its craftsmen make wood flooring from fire-scorched trees salvaged from owner David Old’s family ranch northeast of Santa Fe. In Velarde on N.M. 68, Black Mesa Winery is conducting two small-group tours — at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. — of the production rooms where it makes wines from grapes that are grown in New Mexico. Participants are required to wear sturdy shoes. Anyone interested in attending a tour can register at http://newmexicomep.org/mfgday. Each tour links to an individual Eventbrite page. uuu
The website nerdwallet.com has an interesting analysis on how much the state of New Mexico stands to gain if marijuana were legalized, sold over the counter and taxed. The site uses public data to look at only those age 25 and over who say they have smoked pot in the past month. In New Mexico, that might be some 94,000 people, according to the site. Nerdwallet then estimates the total market for legal marijuana would be $135 million a year, and that would net the state almost $28 million in additional taxes for the state, local governments and the school districts, based on the current gross receipts tax levels. The estimate does not take into account any additional or “sin taxes” that might be generated, as is the case with tobacco and liquor sales, nor the fact that more people might consume the product if it is in fact legal.

Public banking gets a hearing at Santa Fe symposium For The New Mexican
W
ith tighter credit standards that have resulted in fewer loans since the recession of 2008, some are backing an effort to open a publicly owned and managed bank in New Mexico. These advocates are holding a symposium starting 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center to educate the public and decide how to proceed. State Rep. Brian Egolf, a Santa Fe Democrat, has pushed for a statewide public bank for years, arguing it would keep more money at home and make it easier for businesses to secure capital. Fellow legislators have rejected the idea for two successive years, so backers have scaled down the idea
to a publicly owned bank in just one New Mexico community: Santa Fe. They have the support of Mayor Javier Gonzales, who sees it as a resource for cash-strapped local businesses. Other speakers include Richard Wolff of the University of Massachusetts; Gwendolyn Hallsmith of the Public Banking Institute; Craig Barnes, founder of WeArePeopleHere!; as well as other city leaders and financial experts. Some local bankers are skeptical, citing capital availability but little loan demand from business owners reluctant to take on more debt before they see a strong turnaround in the economy. Banking on New Mexico, a co-sponsor of the New Mexico initiative, points to the Bank of North Dakota to make its
case. Founded in 1919 to insure affordable credit for North Dakota farmers, ranchers and businesses, BND is capitalized by state assets and is the repository for all state revenues. The bank extends low-interest loans to students, startups and small businesses and cooperates with private banks to extend mortgages and other loans. As a public bank, BND pays dividends to the state; in the past decade, it has returned $300 million to the state’s general fund. Most states invest revenues in big institutions based out of state, which can cost millions in fees, according to We Are People Here!, a symposium co-sponsor. “Community banks will benefit if their reserves are backed by a publicly owned bank with interest rates set

to maximize public good in this state rather than global investment strategies,” according to the group’s website. Chip Chippeaux, chairman of locally owned Century Bank, suspects the initiative is a pushback against the big banks, which have tightened lending in recent years. But starting a public bank is complicated, he said. Currently, the state must issue a request for proposal to contract for banking services; local banks that have considered previous RFPs found insufficient margin to make money contracting with the state because they don’t have the scale or scope to make it efficient. But Chippeaux was intrigued by the opportunities to participate in shared loans. Century Bank’s internal and external limits dictate individual loan
sizes; if the public bank could participate with Century in a larger loan, he said, “this could be interesting.” Backers of the idea say it’s premature to work out the details before people understand the concept. Co-sponsors We Are People Here! and the Public Banking Institute aim to educate at the symposium, “Banking on New Mexico: Funding Local, Sustainable Economies.” The event will take place at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. A full list of speakers is at www.wearepeople here.org/symposium/.

And I can’t say that Democratic politics wasn’t also in play. If it was, the difference is that the Democrats listened to the people and the Republicans did not.” T.B. Duran said she’s worried now that politicians will use the ballot to ‘play with voters.’ I guess lots of us know when a politician is playing with us. Many of us have played before and find that the crew who is texting messages to Duran or giving heavy-handed guidance to [Gov. Susana] Martinez are not the best players we have seen. It is refreshing to see that the courts are wise to the play as well.” J.W. The problem with the New Mexico Supreme Court is that all of the justices are strong Democrats, otherwise known as left-wing liberal partisans who make no bones about their bias and unfairness on issues. At least the Supreme Court is almost evenly divided, and many rulings are 5-4 or 4-5, with the swing Justice Anthony Kennedy. The New Mexico justices have no balance, no objectivity, no diversity of thought, no discussion needed on cases, and all the outcomes are totally predictable along partisan lines. They should be impeached and removed.” M.J.

Real climate strategy means clean coal
A
merica needs to take the lead in clean-coal technology and share it with the developing world if we really want to make an impact on climate change. If you believe that advances in clean-coal technology can play a pivotal role in preventing the worst effects of climate change — and I do — then you’ll be interested to know that America is well-positioned to take the lead on multiple fronts. Rather than despairing about global warming and hoping for magical solutions from solar and wind energy that will be too slow in coming to make a real difference in carbon mitigation, government policymakers should realize that clean coal already is reducing airborne emissions, and that it can make a far more important contribution in the years ahead. Major progress has been made in curbing emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates. And efforts are underway to develop and demonstrate new clean-coal technologies that can reduce carbon emissions in the United States and globally. Simply put, without innovative ways to produce lower-carbon energy from coal, the battle against global warming will surely fail. Think about it: Coal plants account for about 40 percent of electricity production in the U.S. and worldwide. Some countries rely very heavily on coal — South Africa, 93 percent; Australia, 78 percent; China, 79 percent; India,
68 percent; and Germany, 41 percent. Coal is also important in many smaller countries such as Israel and Greece, which depend on it for more than 50 percent of their electricity. Here in New Mexico, coal provides 68 percent of our power. Investing in advanced energy technologies, while allowing the continued use of our most affordable and abundant fuel source, is not only logical, but it might actually produce the solution the world needs. If the U.S. is going to be a leader on climate, we have to embrace a future with coal rather than turn our back on it. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has done a disservice in proposing carbon regulations for existing coal plants that would require a whopping 30 percent reduction in carbon emissions nationally and a 33.9 percent reduction in New Mexico by 2030. This would lead to coal’s demise as a power-plant fuel and discourage further research on clean-coal technology. We have to get serious about demonstrating clean coal technology, namely carbon capture and storage. As the nation with the world’s largest coal reserves and an unmatched ability to innovate, we need to deploy such capture and storage at a number of sites with different geological formations in the U.S. and abroad. We can also reduce emissions by increasing the efficiency of coal combustion. Witness the use of ultra-supercritical boilers that
emit less carbon per megawatt of power than conventional plants. Such boilers can achieve up to 44 percent efficiency, compared with an average of 33 percent for the existing fleet of coal plants, resulting in 20 percent less carbon. Coal remains the fuel of choice around the world because it is abundant and cheap. For many nations, it means energy security. Those who believe the U.S. can somehow convince the rest of the world to abandon coal in favor of less reliable and more expensive natural gas ignore reality. Witness Europe’s strained relationship with Russia, which is using its gas exports for political bullying. Phasing out the use of coal in the U.S. is not climate leadership; it’s denial of what really needs to be done. Instead of imposing stringent carbon regulations on coal plants — which would place an undue economic burden on Appalachia and the Midwest, two regions that rely heavily on coal — we should move full-throttle toward increased development and demonstration of coal technologies. If we don’t move forward with carbon capture storage and show that it can work and be deployed cost-effectively, what country will?

Election fact check: Martinez bends truth about driver’s license laws, Sept. 17 Per the article: ‘One distinction is that those states issue immigrant licenses with identifying marks distinguishing them from legal residents’ licenses. All New Mexico licenses, for foreign nationals and U.S. citizens, look the same.’ At the very least, New Mexico driver’s licenses should make this distinction, too. I’d prefer no licenses for illegal immigrants — and I’d prefer no illegal immigrants — but this would at least be a compromise.” C.M. Perhaps New Mexico should be like Georgia, requiring an applicant for a driver’s license to supply a birth certificate or passport, a Social Security card and two documents showing a residential address, such as utility bills.” S.S.

O’Keeffe sales should spur outrage T he financially stable O’Keeffe Museum is irresponsibly selling three iconic paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe to supposedly benefit its acquisition fund. These paintings should remain in the museum with the other O’Keeffe artwork. Museums are entrusted to be guardians of our cultural patrimony. Selling off parts of that legacy should be done only in extraordinary situations. The paintings probably will end up in private hands, where no public will benefit. New Mexicans should be outraged by this pending sale. The shortsighted museum board should reconsider its actions in this matter to sell the three O’Keeffe works to the highest bidder.

Gratitude for care Not what we planned. But on Aug. 21 at about 3:30 p.m., my family and I arrived at Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa for our annual visit to Santa Fe. Shortly thereafter, due to a freak accident with our car, we were at the Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center emergency room. We found out that my wife, Anna, had fractured her pelvic bone. She spent her entire vacation in the hospital. This letter is to compliment the staff of the hospital. They were attentive, patient and involved. The emergency room staff did everything possible to make my wife comfortable. We were kept informed each step of the way. The woman we assumed to be in charge, Lari, and her staff were great. She gave me her number and even made a point of calling me in the early morning to inform me that they had gotten a room for my wife. Everyone on the floor (nurses, doctors, physician assistants, physical therapists, attendants, etc.) who cared for my wife could not have been better. They saw to her needs with a smile and treated us like family. Certainly, we’d rather not
have had the accident, but if it had to happen, we were lucky to wind up at St. Vincent. Luvaghn Brown

No negotiations North Korea (“North Korea sentences U.S. man for ‘hostile acts’,” Sept. 15) might think parading U.S. hostages in front of television cameras will jumpstart diplomacy, but Americans don’t negotiate at the point of a gun. Especially not with rogue states that already have a track record of breaking their international promises, as Pyongyang has repeatedly done with its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. Instead of negotiating with Kim Jong-Un, we need to neutralize him by refusing to engage in diplomacy while he threatens U.S. citizens and building up our defenses to neuter his fledgling nuclear arsenal. At just a billion dollars a year in funding, our Ground Based Midcourse Defense system protects us from the world’s most erratic leaders armed with history’s most deadly weapons. We must maintain
and strengthen this lynchpin of our national defense. James M. Rivera

Animal defender With the passing of yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar (aka Guruji), animals have lost a great friend. Guruji often spoke up in defense of animals. For instance, he appealed to fellow yogi and fashion designer Donna Karan to stop using fur in her designs. A longtime vegetarian who survived typhoid fever, malaria and tuberculosis as a child, Guruji also starred in a PETA India ad to promote eating healthy, plantbased foods. “If animals died to fill my plate, my head and my heart would become heavy with sadness,” Guruji told PETA India. “Becoming a vegetarian is the way to live in harmony with animals and the planet.” Anyone inspired by Guriji can find out how easy it is to eat a healthy, humane and harmonious diet by visiting www.PETA.

Have no fear, Spain With the “Yes” or “No” vote, Scotland has already won. Its citizens were able to express the pros and cons exposed in recent months in a fair play. Democracy in capital letters won, while other self-determination processes, such as the one in Catalonia, are being stifled. In 1924, the universal architect Antoni Gaudí was arrested because he was speaking in Catalan. The actual situation is getting back to that time, little by little. The same week that the Scottish citizens voted, Catalonia only received threats from certain positions of the Popular Party, the current governing party. Why does the Spanish government fear a ballot box and to hear the voice of the people to that extent? Why is there such a fear toward democracy? Mireia Domènech Bonet

On Mexican Spanish — ‘rollo’ or ‘rola’?

Two examthing, and you forgot to throw in ples I can think of are the use of Gustavo caló, albures and double-entenhuey (or perhaps buey) and rollo.

Buey (or güey to the term huey tlatoani, “ruler of and wey) derive from the Latin Mexico-Tenochtitlan,” I read about bovis, the term for an ox. As I explained in in Fifteen Poets of the Aztec World by Miguel one of the first ¡Ask a Mexican! columns León-Portilla. In the second case, I’ve heard ever, Latin cultures consider the ox to be young Chicanos use the word rollo, for the dummy of the animal kingdom the
same way gabachos think of an ass, so the Aztecs (and Central Americans, for that matter) got that insult from the Spaniards. Huey, on the other hand, meant “exalted” in Nahuatl when referring to the Aztec king. Rollo is a different rola, on the other hand: In other words, it also comes from the Spaniards via the Latins and has nothing to do with the Aztec codices. Then again, I think you’re mishearing the young Chicanos, because I’ve never heard them use rollo to describe a conversation but have heard them say rola more than not.

COMMENTARY: MELINDA HENNEBERGER
Gender gap matters in election result WASHINGTON wenty-five years ago, Dotty Lynch — then one of the few female pollsters in politics — found it hard to convince the Democrats she worked for that the gender gap was real and that they should pitch differently to women voters. A more senior consultant, Pat Caddell, convinced their boss, ’88 presidential front-runner Gary Hart, that a “women’s strategy” wasn’t worth pursuing. The scandal that followed the married senator’s trip to Bimini with a young model named Donna Rice ended both the argument and the campaign. But for years, said Lynch’s husband, R. Morgan Downey, she struggled to change the minds of an “old guard that just assumed women voted as their fathers and husbands said.” As odd as that seems today — did these folks not have mothers? — they clung like Qiana to their belief that exit polls suggesting women were more apt than men to vote Democratic were some kind of fluke. Long before Lynch died last month of complications of melanoma, she got to hear the three little words that my own, non-scientific polling indicates women prefer to all others: You were right. These days, the attempts to sway women voters never stop, and I thought of Lynch at last week’s Women’s Leadership Forum put on by the Democratic National Committee. In a ballroom in Washington at the Marriott Marquis, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama spoke to the crowd about issues that are no longer considered in any way marginal. Yes, Biden accidentally made news by favorably mentioning former Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon as the kind of Republican who was willing to work across the aisle. (Packwood, who was accused of sexually harassing and assaulting multiple women, resigned in 1995 after the Senate ethics committee unanimously recommended his expulsion.) But what the vice president came to tell the crowd of 500, including many young women, was that men have to take a stand against domestic violence and sexual assault on campus: “There is an absolute obligation, a moral obligation,” he said, “to step up and intervene and say something.” And he promised that the White House would continue to “make it clear that it is cowardly not to step up.” Some in the audience were wearing “Ready for Hillary” stickers, and unsur-

N prisingly, the house belonged to Clinton, who cofounded the group with Tipper Gore in 1993. “A lot has changed since then,” she said. So much, in fact, that when she urged activists not to let anyone dismiss their focus as “women’s work,” it was hard to imagine who would be so foolish as to try. She also mentioned campus assaults, and the “outrages of the NFL” — two issues that until quite recently were still seen as nonissues. The same Hillary Clinton who was slow to highlight her gender as a selling point as a presidential candidate in ’08 won’t hesitate to run as matriarch Clinton — looking out for all of America’s children — if she tries again. “I’ve been thinking a lot about family” lately, she told the group, “because you know I’m on grandbaby watch.” The same care and protection that’s in store for a president’s grandchild, she said, is what we as a country owe every child. The final speaker of the day introduced himself as “Barack, also known as Michelle’s husband,” and jokingly complained that he and Biden were the only guys invited to speak: “That’s OK; we’re leaning in.” He said his mom had taught him that “you can measure how well a country
does by how well it treats its women.” And he derided as “nonsense” that some people “still talk about women’s issues as if they’re something over there, and economics is over here. … We’re talking about half the population.” (Actually, a little more than that, sir.) But the extraordinary thing about his talk is that he spent more time on foreign policy — the Islamic State, Ukraine and Ebola — than about anything ever considered an issue mostly of interest to women. Is it an irony or progress that we’ve come so far in recognizing women’s concerns that we can talk about other things? It seems more like the last stretch of a long road to me. Lynch, who as her husband says, “didn’t have an ‘I told you so’ bone in her body,” chalked up the years the party took to catch up to her to the fact “that men often need a lot of persuading.” Boy, do they get it now. And the same DNC that fired Lynch as its pollster by eliminating her position in 1985 has issued a resolution honoring her as “one of the first pollsters to realize the importance of the women’s vote to the Democratic Party.” Melinda Henneberger has been writing about politics and culture for The Washington Post since 2011.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
n response to Simon Brackley’s piece (“Health care environment is complex, changing,” My View, Sept. 14), I don’t imagine what is going on at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. I live the reality. I have been a nurse there for 21 years. I am at the bedside. I am the front line for patient safety. Since our last negotiation session in 2011, our hospital has lost more than 350 nurses. Most stated as they left that staffing levels put their patients and their professional licenses at risk. Brackley claims to be concerned about the economic impact of our demand for safe staffing. Here’s an economic tidbit: Christus refuses to state how many traveling nurses are staffing the hospital. Our assessment indicates there are 90 out-oftowners. They take their paychecks with them out of our community. How is that good economics for Santa Fe? It’s really quite simple. Safe staffing saves lives and money.

Eleanor’s elegance Did you ever meet Eleanor Roosevelt (aside from the Public Broadcast System series last week)? I did, I am happy to say, in St. Louis, at the end of the second Adlai Stevenson campaign. Gov. Stevenson was to give his final address of that hopeless run at the old Missouri Theatre. Stevenson was late by almost an hour. Roosevelt was there to introduce him, so to her fell the duty to hold the crowd until the candidate arrived. She did it well. She spoke easily and eloquently. I darted backstage and found myself standing beside Roosevelt. What I saw in Roosevelt has been the vivid memory of a lifetime. In her eyes and body language were an unmistakable mental and spiritual energy. She was an observant lady, nothing escaping her attention. She was paying heed to every moment, every nuance. No wonder she had been such an asset to her president husband. James A. Van Sant

ot every public figure — especially in an age where critics are quick to scream “flip flop” — will admit to evolving opinions on controversial topics. That’s why even a slight change of heart by Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd, a proponent of using student test results to help evaluate teachers, matters. Boyd, to be clear, is not saying he is against changing how New Mexico evaluates teachers. No, the Santa Fe superintendent is clear that he believes change is necessary and that any such change should include measuring what students learn as part of the evaluation process. But he also is making it plain that he believes the brand-new evaluation system, used statewide for the first time in New Mexico last school year, needs to be delayed. The problem for Boyd is in the data. This is a superintendent who is certain that measuring results is necessary to know which teachers are effective. He even supports using student test scores as part of the evaluations (something that many teachers and critics of education reform don’t believe is effective). But because he values data, Boyd can also see when it might be leading evaluators astray. In its determination to get the new evaluation system up and running, New Mexico’s Public Education Department moved too quickly. We had suggested rolling the system out in stages, fine-tuning first before going statewide. Instead, the state moved ahead with the new evaluation process — one so complicated that it’s hard to understand exactly how the scores are figured. Teachers all over the state have expressed concern because ratings do not reflect actual performance levels. And that’s not their opinion, that’s finding out that the different parts of the evaluation criteria were input incorrectly. Remember that teachers will receive raises — and possibly lose jobs — because of these evaluations. They must be right, both for students and for teachers. Santa Fe Public Schools, perhaps in part because Boyd has been a staunch supporter of results-based reform, was granted permission to develop its own evaluation system. Still, when the first results came in, Boyd and his district immediately realized that Santa Fe’s teacher scores were incorrect. To her credit, Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera listened to Santa Fe’s arguments and results for local teachers are being re-examined. Boyd, after realizing how many adjustments are having to be made in evaluation results, came to the conclusion that the process needs more work. He wrote an op-ed, published Sunday in The New Mexican, detailing why he thinks the state needs to hit pause. If someone this dedicated to reform wants to slow down, we believe that the state education establishment should listen. Our Legislature should listen. The new teacher evaluations system has been implemented by administrative rule, rather than law. Legislators need to regain control of the process. We also trust that Boyd’s call for a delay will spark a nuanced, nonpartisan conversation about whether using test results to grade teachers is best for our students. And that’s really the first hurdle to cross — getting agreement about what the goal of evaluations needs to be. We agree with Superintendent Boyd that the common goal should be ensuring every child has a good teacher. How best to achieve that goal — not blind adherence to an expensive, cumbersome, mistake-filled process — should become the focus of the discussion.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Sept. 23, 1914: Washington — The administration war revenue bill was formally reported out of the Ways and Means committee today with all the Democrats voting in its favor and all the Republicans in opposition. The tax of 2 cents a gallon on gasoline was extended to cover “motor spirits.” Albuquerque — T.M. Gormley, chief of the immigration office at El Paso, is here today on his way to Fort Wingate to superintend the discharge of the interned Mexican refugees who have been detained there for some months. The question remains as to whether the entire 5,000 refugees being held “in honorable detention” will be sent back to Old Mexico. Or will they be allowed to work on the A.T. & S.F. tracks in Kansas, or will they be released here over the protest of the governor?

Alaska TV reporter quits to push pot By Mark Theissen The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska television reporter quit her job on live TV with a big four-letter flourish after revealing she owns a medical marijuana business and intends to press for legalization of recreational pot in Alaska. After reporting on the Alaska Cannabis Club on Sunday night’s broadcast, KTVA’s Charlo Greene identified herself as the business’s owner. “Everything you’ve heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all my energy toward fighting for freedom and for fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska,” she said during the late Sunday evening newscast. “And as for this job, well not that I have a choice … I quit.” After saying a four-letter word on air, she then walked off camera. KTVA News Director Bert Rudman apologized for Greene’s “inappropriate language” and said she was terminated in statements Sunday. He apologized again Monday, this time for Greene’s ethical lapses. “She had a personal and business stake in the issue she was reporting, but did not disclose that interest to us,” Rudman said in a statement. “At KTVA we strive to live up to the highest journalistic standards of fairness and transparency. Sunday’s breach of those standards is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated,” he said. Greene is the professional name used by Charlene Egbe. She told The Associated Press on Monday that she knew about a month ago that she would be leaving the way she did. No one else at the station knew anything about it, she said. Alaska voters will decide in the November election whether to join Washington and Colorado in decriminalizing pot. Greene doesn’t believe the manner of her departure is harming her cause. “Are we talking about it, or not, because of what I did. Period,” she said. “It always goes back to the issue.” Greene, 26, said she always fact checked and was unbiased about the issue as a reporter. “I’m passionate about doing my job, and at the time my job was being a journalist,” Greene said. Alaska business records indicate Egbe registered the Alaska Cannabis Club name

on April 20, or 4-20. The number “420” has long been associated with marijuana, though its origins as shorthand for pot are unclear. Taylor Bickford, a spokesman for a group backing the measure to legalize pot, said he hopes Alaska voters look beyond Greene’s salty language. “I hope that her language, which clearly was not appropriate for television, doesn’t distract from the importance of her message,” said Bickford, with the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol. After voters approved the use of medical marijuana in 1998, the state of Alaska never set up dispensaries, forcing people to criminalize themselves to access pot, he said. Passage of the initiative “would allow them to access the medicine they need,” Bickford said. A spokeswoman for the opposition group Big Marijuana Big Mistake said it has twice complained to KTVA management about what it claimed was Greene’s biased coverage of the ballot initiative. “While we are frustrated with these actions, we are further disappointed by this distraction from what needs to be a full and honest debate about a dangerous initiative that will hurt Alaska’s communities and kids,” Kristina Woolston said in a statement. During a Monday news conference, the group outlined concerns it had with Greene’s reporting, including an Aug. 15 email from Kalie Klaysmat, the executive director of the Alaska Association of Chiefs of Police, which also opposes the marijuana initiative, asking Rudman to change reporters. “She seemed only interested in information that supported her point of view. She did not explore contrary information; she attacked it,” the email states. “That she seems to be the primary reporter covering marijuana issues and has such a strong personal opinion on this very divisive topic causes me to question the station’s editorial judgment.” “Alaskans should feel as if they had been disrespected, not only because of the use of the F word, but also because they did not receive fair and balanced reporting on this very important issue for our future,” said another spokeswoman for the group, Deborah Williams.
Demonstrators protest opening of Met Opera’s ‘Klinghoffer’ in N.Y. NEW YORK — Demonstrators marked the start of the Metropolitan Opera’s season on Monday evening by protesting the planned production of The Death of Klinghoffer from outside of New York City’s Lincoln Center. Most gathered behind metal barricades across the street, while some stood on the sidewalk in front of the arts complex, shouting “Shame on you!” at opera goers as they walked past. They carried signs accusing the Met of glorifying terrorism by including the opera, which they say is anti-Semitic, in its season. The Met is scheduled to perform the opera between October 20 and November 15.
It deals with the death of Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish passenger on the cruise ship Achille Lauro, in 1985. The ship was hijacked by Palestinians, who shot the disabled Klinghoffer in his wheelchair and threw him overboard. The opera’s critics say it justifies the killers’ actions and is prejudiced against Jews. Supporters defend it on grounds of artistic freedom and say it presents a thoughtful take on all sides. “It’s more than insensitive, it’s immoral,” said Carole Daman, who had come from Scarsdale in Westchester County for the protest.

Bears hold on to beat clumsy Jets Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, left, throws under pressure from the New York Jets in the first quarter of Monday’s game in East Rutherford, N.J. BILL KOSTROUN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
By Dennis Waszak Jr. The Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Chicago Bears took advantage of early mistakes by the sloppy New York Jets. Then they had to hold their breath before hanging on for a 27-19 victory Monday night. Jay Cutler threw two touchdown passes to Martellus Bennett and Ryan Mundy returned an interception 45 yards for a score. Cutler finished 23 of 38 for 225 yards and Alshon Jeffery
caught eight passes for 105 yards for the Bears, who got a 45-yard field goal from Robbie Gould to make it an eight-point game with 3:10 remaining. The Jets (1-2) had one last opportunity to tie, getting into Bears territory on Geno Smith’s 51-yard pass to Greg Salas. But Jeremy Kerley was out of bounds when he caught Smith’s desperation fourth-down heave from the Bears 9. Cutler took a knee three times to seal the victory for the Bears (2-1).

Royals beat the Indians, gain on Tigers By Tom Withers The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Danny Duffy pushed the Royals a little closer to the top in the AL Central and nearer their first playoff appearance in 29 years. Duffy pitched six shutout innings for his first win Royals 2 in more than a month as KanIndians 0 sas City moved within one game of first-place Detroit and kept some distance over Cleveland in the wild-card race, beating the Indians 2-0 on Monday night. Duffy (9-11), who had thrown just one pitch in September before the start, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first and held the Indians to six hits. The left-hander had been sidelined since Sept. 6 with a sore shoulder. “I wasn’t feeling any pressure,” Duffy said. “I tried to simplify things and not think about the race we’re in.” Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 44th save as the Royals, seeking their first postseason appearance since 1985, earned an unusual split

y the time the typical player signs an NFL contract, around 100 scouts, coaches and general managers have pored over his history. It’s an expensive, painstaking and time-consuming process that includes personality tests, conversations with high school friends, the college equipment manager and many more — and, of course, a thorough review of police records. The teams try to turn over every leaf, and yet, there are things
they miss, or simply would never think to look for. Very little in the portfolios collected on Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson foreshadowed problems with the law. “It’s an inexact science. The process is flawed on both ends,” said Charley Casserly, the former Redskins and Texans general manager, who spearheaded the teams’ vetting processes for nearly two decades. “It’s humans picking humans. None of us are perfect on either side of the equation.” The process is much easier when

NEW YORK — NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Monday his league will “take a fresh look” at its domestic violence procedures in the wake of the NFL’s rash of incidents. Silver said during a community service event in Staten Island that the league has been discussing with the NBA Players Association ways to further educate players and provide programs to them and their families. “We learn from other leagues’ experiences,” Silver said. “We’re studying everything that’s been happening in the NFL. We’re working with our players’ association. We’ve
been talking for several weeks and we’re going to take a fresh look at everything we do.” The NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell have Adam Silver been criticized for punishments that were too slow or lenient for Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and other players involved in recent domestic violence cases. Goodell said last week the NFL wants to implement new personal conduct policies by the Super Bowl. The NBA’s collective bargain-
ing agreement calls for a minimum 10-game suspension for a first offense of a player convicted of a violent felony. “We have in place the appropriate mechanisms for discipline, although we’ll take a fresh look at those as well,” Silver said. “But most importantly, it’s education, and it’s not just the players, but it’s the players’ families. That’s what we’re learning, too. “We have to take these programs directly to the players’ spouses, directly to their partners so that they’re aware of places they can go to express concerns, whether they’re anonymous hotlines, team executives, league executives. And we’re

consulting experts. There’s a lot to be learned here. It’s a societal problem; it’s not one that’s unique to sports.” Silver spoke at the opening of a refurbished Staten Island playground and basketball court in an area damaged by Hurricane Sandy. He was joined by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Knicks and Nets officials in announcing community efforts throughout New York, which will host the 2015 All-Star weekend. Silver said the goal of the programs is to directly reach 500,000 children. New union executive director Michele Roberts also took part in what was her first official day in her
GENEVA — For Qatar or Russia to be stripped of the World Cup, a key person in the legal chain needs to make use of the powers available to him. Events of recent days, however, suggest FIFA’s independent ethics judge Joachim Eckert will interpret the rules more cautiously and have added to the pessimism of critics who want the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosting awards overturned. Eckert is a middle man in the process — between Michael Garcia, the ethics prosecutor who must provide the evidence, and FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who heads the 27-member executive committee and Congress of 209 national associations. It may fall to Eckert — in the toughness of his verdicts and language of his final report — to raise public pressure on FIFA to take the highest-risk, highest-reward options in a case that will define the reputation of football’s world governing body.

Woman: Bironas tried to run them off road The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A woman told a 911 dispatcher former Titans kicker Rob Bironas was driving erratically just before his SUV crashed. The 911 call was obtained Monday by several media outlets. The woman told the dispatcher neither she nor her husband recognized the man who drove up behind them. She says he pulled his SUV up beside their vehicle and gave them a look before speeding away. The woman told the dispatcher the man was dangerous and police needed to know
something was wrong with him. “We let him go on past us because he was trying to run me off the road and we don’t know who he was,” the woman told the dispatcher. A Metro Nashville Rob Bironas police spokesman says the accident investigation is ongoing. An autopsy was performed. The Tennessean reported Monday night Bironas’ wife reported him missing to police Saturday night.
Bironas, 36, died Saturday night. Police said he was speeding when he lost control in a curve and that there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs at the scene. The Titans released Bironas in March after nine seasons. Bironas worked out for Tampa Bay during the offseason and worked out last week for the Detroit Lions, who announced Monday they plan to sign former Eagles kicker Alex Henery. Bironas married Rachel Bradshaw, daughter of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, in June.

Vetting: Some things don’t show in report Continued from Page B-1 the issues the players face are clear-cut, but that didn’t stop Aaron Hernandez from being drafted. The former Patriots tight end had a checkered record in college and is now in prison, accused of murder in two cases. NFL teams will have copious amounts of information when they decide whether Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston, in trouble multiple times at Florida State, is worth bringing onto their roster. “The information is usually there to make a good decision,” said Ted Sundquist, former general manager of the Broncos. “There are many times when an organization will choose to listen to what they want to hear if they really like the player.” But not every troubled player in college stays that way in the pros — and, of course, there are thousands of college players whose names never make it onto a police blotter. “You’re not going to be able to catch all these things all the time,” says Chris Elzey, who teaches Sport and American Culture at George Mason University. “People change. Certain things come up. As far as trying to recognize those problems
beforehand, you can catch the glaring mistakes, but you can’t foresee everything.” The scouting report on Peterson, now charged with child abuse, didn’t raise major red flags. When he was 7, Peterson’s older brother was killed by a drunk driver. Peterson’s father served eight years in prison on a drug-related conviction. A quote attributed to Peterson on biography.com says: “Resilience is what I’m all about. I run angry. Football allows me to take out some of my pain on the field.” Almost all of the scouting material on Rice before the 2008 draft centered on how hard he worked to get the most out of his 5-foot-8, 200-pound frame. He was an underdog with a bit of chip on his shoulder. But there were no red flags in the character department, and he backed that up after arriving in Baltimore, becoming the face of the franchise — generous with his time and money. The videotape of Rice punching his then-fiancée changed everything, and the uptick of such crimes coming to light figures to make NFL teams redouble their efforts. “The leagues and the [sports] federations better be
aware that it’s a different world now,” said Steve Roush, the former chief of sport performance at the U.S. Olympic Committee, who has vetted hundreds of athletes and coaches. “The standards by which these people have to conduct themselves has changed drastically, and so has the standard by which the organizations evaluate them.” The grassroots of the NFL vetting system is the scouts. One of their jobs is to build relationships at the universities where the most talented players play. They get to know position coaches, trainers, equipment men, professors. “Ultimately, you want a guy who can walk up to a college coach and say, ‘Hey, you’ve known me for 25 years. Give me the straight skinny,’ ” Sundquist said. Teams put players through tests that gauge how well they learn; some of the exams are designed to give front offices a feeling for coachability, competitiveness, “some kind of psychological profile, if you will,” Casserly said. The clubs hire security firms, and if computer searches show blemishes on a player’s record, the firms do follow-up work — calling police, lawyers, family, friends.
In all, a top prospect could get up to eight people judging not only how fast he runs, but what kind of citizen he is. The lowest picks usually get at least two sets of eyeballs on them. Sundquist says that while the vast majority of NFL players “are good guys,” there’s no denying one truth: Most players treat the scouting combine and interviews as job auditions and try to be on their best behavior. “Once you sign him, it’s almost like it changes immediately,” Sundquist said. “The focus is no longer on what kind of guy he is, it’s now the opportunity and money you’ve invested, so I expect you to do ‘X, Y and Z.’ And on the other side, it suddenly becomes ‘Player LLC’ under the umbrella of a corporation, and the player is doing everything he can to protect the corporation.” How they’ll react in the new relationship is an educated guess, at best. “You do your job, you do it thoroughly, you make a decision and you go, and that’s it,” Casserly said. “You can’t foresee every possible scenario. And you’ll drive yourself nuts if you second-guess everything.”
Bears: QB Smith 26 of 43, 2 interceptions Continued from Page B-1 “Right now I feel I’m very intelligent on the field,” said Bennett, now in his seventh NFL season. “The game is getting a lot easier. I know the offense better. I know what Jay wants.” Smith was 26 of 43 for 316 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions — and nearly had a few others. Kerley finished with seven catches for 81 yards, and almost came up with a diving grab off a tipped pass in the end zone on the final drive. “There were some plays you wish you could have back,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. The Jets lost wide receiver Eric Decker in the first half to a hamstring injury after he was questionable for the game with tightness in the hamstring. The Bears went up 14-0 just over 5 minutes into the game. On New York’s second play from scrimmage, Smith didn’t see Mundy lurking in the flat as he floated a screen pass to Chris Johnson. Mundy stepped in front of the toss and ran untouched into the end zone for a 45-yard score. It was the sixth-year veteran’s third career interception, and first score. After the Jets stopped the Bears on three plays on their first offensive series, rookie Jalen Saunders dropped Patrick O’Donnell’s punt at his 40 and it was recovered by Ahmad Dixon. Cutler threw deep down the right sideline to Jeffery one play later, and cornerback Darrin Walls was called for pass interference to put the ball at the Jets 7. Three plays later, Cutler rolled right and found Bennett in the back of the end zone to make it 14-0 — and get the MetLife Stadium crowd booing. “There is a little lack of respect for me as a tight end,” Bennett said. “It’s kind of like a chip on my shoulder. They never really mention me.” The Jets got on the scoreboard on their next possession, capping an 11-play, 55-drive with Nick Folk’s 43-yard field goal. Chicago answered with a 15-play, 79-yard

drive helped by cornerback Antonio Allen’s holding penalty on a third-down incompletion by Cutler. Gould’s 24-yard field goal gave the Bears a 17-3 lead 66 seconds into the second quarter. The Jets got their next series off to a good start with a 43-yard completion to rookie tight end Jace Amaro, but they stalled in the red zone again, settling for a 28-yard field goal. New York got closer with a 77-yard drive on which Kerley accounted for 51 — including a 19-yard touchdown that cut the deficit 17-13. A video review reversed a call late in the half on which the Jets might have taken the lead. Cutler was sacked by David Harris and lost the ball, but was declared down by contact. A review showed Cutler had fumbled, but Demario Davis’ return to the end zone was negated because the whistle had blown.
The Jets then went three-and-out. Chicago opened the second half aggressively, marching 80 yards on six plays and capping the drive with Bennett’s 13-yard touchdown catch to make it 24-13. The Bears nearly had a 12-yard TD by Marshall, but it was wiped out by an illegal hands to the face penalty on left guard Michael Ola, who started for the injured Matt Slauson. The Jets also blew a possible scoring drive when Smith was intercepted by rookie Kyle Fuller on a poorly thrown pass to David Nelson in the end zone on firstand-10 from the Bears 18. “You can’t force it in that situation,” Ryan said. “You learn from it.” Folk’s 22-yard field goal late in the third quarter made it 24-16. His 42-yarder with 9:52 remaining got the Jets within five points.

hope we’re going to do as well is figure out ways to prevent any occurrence like that on our side. It’s one thing to know how to react in the event it happens; it’s a lot smarter to try to make sure it doesn’t happen in the first instance.” Silver noted that the NBA
has had its own difficulties with issues off the court, saying the aftermath of former Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s racist remarks means “everyone understands the high standard that we are living under now in the NBA.” The NFL’s issues just accelerated the need
to look for improvements. “It’s been going on, but the whole world is focused right now on what’s happening around the NFL,” Silver said, “so it’d be foolish for us not to try to learn from everything that’s happening with that league as well.”

Concern over McIlroy, McDowell more about results By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press
New York Yankees Derek Jeter hits a fifth-inning, two-run double off Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen in Monday’s game at Yankee Stadium in New York. KATHY WILLENS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jeter’s 3 RBIs lead Yanks over Orioles The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Derek Jeter began his final series at Yankee Stadium by breaking open the game with a two-run double, and he had three RBIs Yankees 5 to lead the New York Yankees over the BaltiOrioles 0 more Orioles 5-0 Monday night. Michael Pineda retired his first 13 batters before J.J. Hardy singled sharply to left field, pitching 7⅓ innings and combining with three relievers on a one-hitter. Jose Pirela, the Yankees’ team-record 57th player this season, became New York’s first player in 34 years to triple in his first big league at-bat. He went 2 for 3 with the go-ahead RBI. Despite the loss, AL East champion Baltimore clinched home-field advantage in an AL division series starting Oct. 2 when Detroit lost to the Chicago White Sox. The Orioles open the postseason against the wild-card playoff winner or the AL Central champion. RANGERS 4, ASTROS 3 In Arlington, Texas, Guilder Rodriguez had his first two major league hits, including a tiebreaking RBI single, as the Rangers opened their final homestand with a victory over Houston. Rougned Odor had a three-run triple for Texas, which won for the ninth time in its last 10 games. The Rangers got win No. 63 overall, ensuring that they will avoid their first 100-loss season since 1973. The 31-year-old Rodriguez made his major league debut two weeks ago, when the switch-hitting utility infielder was called up after 13 seasons and 1,095 games in the minors, then the most by any current player before finally getting to the majors. Rodriguez got his first major league RBI in the seventh, his two-out single sending home Jake Smolinski and chasing Astros starter Nick Tropeano (1-2). Smolinski was hit by a pitch to start the inning. BLUE JAYS, 14, MARINERS 4 In Toronto, Jose Bautista homered and reached base four times, J.A. Happ won for the first time in four starts and the Blue Jays dealt a blow to Seattle’s wild card hopes, routing the Mariners.
Bautista went 3 for 3 with a walk and drove in two runs before getting the rest of the night off. His solo homer in the fifth against Mariners reliever Tom Wilhelmsen was his 35th. Kevin Pillar hit a two-run homer and Anthony Gose added a solo blast as the Blue Jays handed Seattle its third straight defeat. Happ (10-11) allowed an RBI double by Robinson Cano in the first, and Kyle Seager’s solo homer in the sixth. Seattle’s James Paxton (6-4) gave up a career-high nine runs, walked a careerhigh six and matched a career-high by giving up seven hits in 2⅔ innings, his shortest career start. WHITE SOX 2, TIGERS 0 In Detroit, Chris Bassitt pitched into the eighth inning for his first major league win, and Chicago slowed the Tigers’ chase of the AL Central title with a victory over Detroit. Detroit remained 1½ games ahead of the second-place Royals, pending the result of their regularly scheduled game in Cleveland. Hours earlier, the Indians finished off a win in a suspended game against Kansas City. Tyler Flowers hit a two-run homer for the White Sox, and the Tigers were unable to take advantage of Chicago’s inexperienced starter. The loss assured Detroit would start a division series on the road, even if it wins the AL Central. The game turned into an unexpected pitchers’ duel between Bassitt and fellow rookie Kyle Lobstein. Both were making their fifth career start, but they looked like aces in the middle of a pennant race. NATIONAL LEAGUE CARDINALS 8, CUBS 0 In Chicago, Adam Wainwright joined Clayton Kershaw as the majors’ only 20-game winners, pitching three-hit ball over seven innings, and St. Louis beat the Cubs. Wainwright hit the 20-win mark for the second time while matching his careerhigh for victories, and the Cardinals moved a step closer toward their second straight division title. They remained 2½ games ahead of Pittsburgh in the NL Central with five to
play with the Pirates beating Atlanta 1-0. St. Louis clinched its fourth straight playoff appearance on Sunday. Wainwright (20-9) won his fifth straight start and made it look easy, striking out eight and walking one. The only other time Wainwright won 20 was in 2010, and that year, victory No. 20 also came at Wrigley Field. He got plenty of support, with the Cardinals pounding Travis Wood (8-13) for seven runs and eight hits over five innings. PIRATES 1, BRAVES 0 In Atlanta, Andrew McCutchen homered, Francisco Liriano won his fourth straight start and Pittsburgh moved closer to a postseason berth, beating the Braves. The Pirates, winners in 10 of their last 12, have a five-game lead over Milwaukee with six games remaining for both teams. Any combination of two Pittsburgh wins or Brewers losses will guarantee the Pirates at least a spot in the NL wild-card game for the second straight year. The Pirates still have hopes of winning the NL Central, but they began the night 2½ games behind first-place St. Louis. McCutchen, the 2013 NL MVP, hit his 24th homer in the sixth off starter Aaron Harang. Liriano (7-10) allowed three hits, walked four and struck out seven in six innings. He extended his consecutive scoreless streak to 28 innings. INTERLEAGUE DIAMONDBACKS 6, TWINS 2 In Minneapolis, Josh Collmenter pitched six strong innings for his career-best 11th win, Mark Trumbo homered and Arizona beat the Twins to snap a six-game losing streak. Trumbo’s two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco (5-12) — his fourth homer in the last 11 games — capped a five-run fifth for the Diamondbacks, who are 7-11 in interleague play. Collmenter (11-8) has allowed two runs or fewer in his last six starts, matching the longest streak of his career. He’s 3-1 during that span. Nearly all the hitters in Minnesota’s lineup faced Collmenter for the first time in their careers, and it showed as the Twins reached 90 losses for the fourth straight year since winning the AL Central in 2010.
Royals: Lost 4-3 in Aug. 31 suspended game Continued from Page B-1 and moved within one game of the Tigers, who lost 2-0 at home to the White Sox. Earlier, the Royals lost 4-3 in 10 innings in a game suspended Aug. 31 in Kansas City. “It was a good day for us,” manager Ned Yost said. “We wanted to get that suspended game behind us. We knew that was looming over our heads. It’s like we’ve been saying, nobody knows what’s going to happen.” Carlos Carrasco (8-6) couldn’t keep the momentum going for the Indians, who remain 3½ games out in the wild card and are quickly running out of time. “It’s not very often you don’t score and come away with a split,” manager Terry Francona said. “There’s not a lot of season left. Every time you lose a game you’re disappointed and now we’ll show up tomorrow and it’s kind of simple. Just show up and try to win.” Duffy survived a shaky first inning, when he threw 24
pitches. He gave up three hits in the first two innings, but just three more over the next four. His previous start against Cleveland was the game that wound being suspended. Duffy’s performance — he was removed after throwing one pitch at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 6 — took a little pressure off the Royals, who entered the day holding one of the two wild-card spots. Kansas City picked up one-half game on Seattle and stayed comfortably ahead of Cleveland. “The teams we needed to lose, lost tonight,” said first baseman Eric Hosmer, who hit an RBI single in the first. “We gained some ground, especially playing these guys. They’re a tough team. If we get a chance to put these guys away we need to make the most of it.” Kansas City took a 2-0 in the fifth on Alcides Escobar’s RBI single that easily could have been ruled an error on Indians shortstop Jose Ramirez. Cleveland’s first three hit-
ters reached in the first, but the Indians came up empty as Duffy retired cleanup hitter Carlos Santana on a pop up, struck out Yan Gomes looking and got Mike Aviles on a lazy fly to right. Carrasco gave the Indians another solid outing, allowing two runs and seven hits with nine strikeouts in 7⅓ innings. The right-hander tossed a twohitter last week in Houston for his first complete game shutout. After waiting 23 days, the Indians needed nine minutes to finish off the Royals in the first game and temporarily pulled within 2½ games in a wild, wild-card race entering its last days. Scott Atchison gave up a two-out RBI single to Nori Aoki in the bottom of the 10th — Kansas City was the home team on the road — before getting Omar Infante to pop out for his second save with the tying run at second. Soft schedule: After finishing their series in Cleveland, the Royals will conclude
the regular season with four games in Chicago. Kansas City is 10-5 against the White Sox and 5-1 at U.S. Cellular Field. Blanked: The shutout was Kansas City’s first in Cleveland since July 29, 2011. Strikeout king: Wade Davis recorded his 104th strikeout, setting a single-season club record for a Royals reliever. The previous mark was shared by Jim York (1971) and Greg Holland (2013). TRAINER’S ROOM Indians: 2B Jason Kipnis continues to be slowed by a sore right hamstring. He missed three games last week, and Francona wants to monitor him closely. Kipnis pinch-hit in the eighth of the regularly scheduled game and grounded to short. UP NEXT Rookie RHP Yordano Ventura (13-10) makes his biggest start to date for the Royals. He leads all MLB rookies in wins. RHP Danny Salazar (6-7) pitches on four days’ rest for Cleveland after working 7⅓ innings in his last start vs. Houston.
GLENEAGLES, Scotland — European captain Paul McGinley is having second thoughts about a Rory McIlroy-Graeme McDowell partnership in the Ryder Cup. Attribute that to an ordinary record, not an acrimonious lawsuit. The Northern Irish duo has made it clear in recent weeks that McIlroy’s lawsuit against Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management — which involves allegations against McDowell — has not affected their friendship and would not be a problem at Gleneagles this week. “Both of them have assured me all along that there’s no issue, and that’s the way I’ve always seen it,” McGinley said Monday in the opening news conference of Ryder Cup week. “Whether they come together or not is another story.” McDowell and McIlroy are longtime friends and major champions. They have been Ryder Cup partners for all but one session dating to 2010 at Wales, though their record is hardly impressive. They have won only two of those matches and halved another. “Three or four months ago, I had a very strong view that they would have been [partners],” McGinley said. “But the more I look at their statistics, and the more I look at the different value I have with them, I’m thinking there may be a value in not doing it. But if I don’t do it, it certainly won’t be because of any issues. “As both of them have said, there are no issues between them and both will be happy to play together,” he said. “But
it will be my decision ultimately.” Both teams arrived at Gleneagles on a relatively quiet day in which a haircut attracted most of the attention. Rickie Fowler, a teen idol in golf circles, stepped off the U.S. charter at Edinburgh with “USA” cut into the side of his hair. Even old-school Tom Watson, the 65-year-old American captain, liked it. “I thought it was terrific,” Watson said. “It brings a light spirit to the team.” The Americans flew overnight as a team, and planned little more than chipping and putting Monday before getting started on their practice rounds. Watson has reminded them from his vast experience — only three American players were even born when Watson played his first Ryder Cup in 1977 — not to worry if it takes a few days for their golf games to come around. Half of the European team lives in Florida and players began arriving in the U.K. over the last week. McIlroy left Horizon more than a year ago and their lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial as early as January. An Irish judge has recommended that both sides go through mediation because of sensitive material that would be public. Among other things, McIlroy has alleged that McDowell received more favorable contract terms from Horizon, and McIlroy’s lawyers have requested confidential documents. McDowell announced last week that he also was leaving Horizon, under amicable terms, to put his own team around him. They said they remain close and even had dinner together in Denver earlier this month.
FIFA: Ruling board integrity questioned Continued from Page B-1 “That is not our job,” Eckert said at FIFA last Friday, when giving his most detailed insight yet on the investigation. “We will not make any recommendations.” Ever since a 22-man FIFA executive committee chose Russia and Qatar in December 2010, critics have sought reasons to justify change. Their hope has been sustained by reports and allegations calling into question Qatar’s fitness to host the world’s favorite sporting event: Voting collusion, bribery, rights of slave labor and gay fans, extreme heat and disruption to European club football have all been raised as reasons to remove the tournament. The wait for a definitive independent probe into the contests has been peppered with resignations of FIFA executive committee members implicated in other cases of unethical behavior. The integrity of FIFA’s ruling board has been lacking so often that it added to an impression something must have been wrong when those now-discredited men were power brokers. For those critics of FIFA, last Friday must have been difficult. Still, Eckert has more authority than he admits to, according to some sports lawyers who talked to The Associated Press about the blockbuster case. Eckert suggested last Friday he is limited by FIFA rules to only judge individuals using evidence provided by ethics prosecutor Michael Garcia, the American lawyer leading the investigation. It is, according to Eckert, for the FIFA executive board or the congress of 209 member associations to decide if the independent ethics com-
mittee’s work justifies voting again on which country should host the competition. Not necessarily so, some experienced sports lawyers told the AP in recent interviews. “What is the point of an ethics commission if it can’t take the biggest political decisions?” said one lawyer who has been involved in FIFA cases. “According to the rules it is possible,” said another, suggesting that FIFA’s ethics committee can take “any kinds of decisions.” The lawyers spoke on condition of anonymity because they could potentially be involved in legal cases arising from the Garcia-Eckert probe. Eckert refused to say if sanctions were likely against some officials involved in the contest, such as voting members of the FIFA board or staffers from the nine bidding candidates from 11 countries. However, Garcia’s initial investigative reports suggested “conclusions concerning further action with respect to certain individuals,” according to a FIFA news release this month. Eckert said he expects to finish reading these reports within weeks. Further drafts and evidence-gathering can be ordered before formal cases are opened, possibly in November. Defendants and charges are unlikely to be identified then, and Eckert has suggested the first verdicts could follow in the European spring next year. By playing down expectations, the German judge was supported by some established sports lawyers. One who has worked in past FIFA cases agreed that Eckert could only target individuals, and not collective bodies such as an executive committee or bidding team.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Sept. 23, the 266th day of 2014. There are 99 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Sept. 23, 1779, during the Revolutionary War, the American warship Bon Homme Richard, commanded by John Paul Jones, defeated the HMS Serapis in battle off Yorkshire, England; however, the seriously damaged Bon Homme Richard sank two days later.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be sorry that you pushed a child or new friend so hard, especially as this person appears to have closed down. Tonight: In the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could find yourself in a funk if you are not careful. Loosen up, and recognize that when you are positive, everything seems to fall into place. Tonight: Head on home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are much more emotional than you realize. Assuming a cool demeanor just might throw others off. What has worked before might not be effective now. Tonight: Join a friend at a favorite spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you. Don’t lose your grounding. Tonight: Be a duo VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might feel unstoppable. You are not. Don’t push your luck, especially if you get a strange feeling about a situation. Tonight: Your treat.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Widow’s beau may want money Dear Annie: I am a widow in my mid-70s and am comfortably well off. A year after my husband’s death, I moved to an apartment in a smaller city in order to be closer to my daughter’s family. However, they have their own lives and rarely include me in anything except holiday dinners. None of the fun things I envisioned doing with my grandchildren has happened, and I don’t have any old friends in the new city. I did meet a widower, “Jim,” at a church social. We share a lot of common interests and enjoy going out to dinner and movies together. The only downside is that Jim lives entirely on his Social Security check, so I always pay my own way on our “dates.” My daughter says Jim is after my money, which may be true, but then sometimes I think she is, too. She’s always asking how much money is in the grandchildren’s college funds. Jim and I are thinking of taking a Mediterranean cruise in which we would share a cabin and I would pay for 75 percent of the combined cost, based on the fact that my yearly income is three times his. We have already taken some short weekend trips. My daughter is livid. I say it’s my money and my business. She said that her father never would have dreamed that I would be subsidizing a cruise for a boyfriend. Frankly, I wouldn’t have either, but that’s the situation. I don’t want to alienate her. What’s your advice? — Sugar Momma Dear Momma: Your daughter needs reassurance that Mom is not being taken advantage of, and that you aren’t spending all of your money on some guy. Please let her know that you love her and your new relationship won’t change that. If you have promised money to the kids’ college funds, reassure her that you won’t use the money to splurge on Jim. But also tell her that you are too young to sit at home. Surely she wants you to be happy in a way that doesn’t require her to provide your entertainment. If she hasn’t met Jim, please introduce them so she can see what a good companion he is for you. We
also recommend you try to meet some female friends, because your entire social life shouldn’t be dependent on one man. Dear Annie: I am a 9-year-old boy who needs your help with my 14-year-old brother. He sometimes gets emotional and makes fun of me and has mood swings. He is having minor problems in school and says that all the other students look up to him. I really care about him. Also, I am having some trouble in school with adding and subtracting decimals. Any ideas? — Agitated Student and Caring Brother Dear Agitated: Your brother is going through some changes that are both physical and emotional. He’ll be OK, but it will take a little time. If he bullies you, please talk to your parents about it. You also can vent to your school counselor or a favorite teacher who may be able to help you develop coping strategies. As for decimals, we wish we could make it simple in a short sentence, but we recommend you ask your math teacher for some after-school tutoring. There may be another student in your class who is acing the subject and would be able to help you out. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Recovered in Nebraska,” who had anorexia. You mentioned ANAD (anad.org) as a resource. I live in Montreal and would like to inform your Canadian readers that we also have a support group, ANEB, which supports Quebec youth and adults facing the challenges of anorexia and bulimia. Information and support are available in both English and French at anebquebec.com. — Daniel in Canada Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH Be aware of the costs of saying the wrong words, even if you think you are sure of yourself. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Focus on your long-term goals and what can happen. Refuse to get into a discussion of petty details, as it will prove to be irrelevant. Tonight: Go for peace and fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Pressure is likely to build to a level where you need to let off some steam. Try to keep your opinions to yourself right now. Tonight: A must appearance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your ability to gain an overview will be marked by your actions. Take your time making a decision, and be sure to weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: A must appearance.
Cryptoquip
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A partner has a lot to share. Stop and listen. You will be amazed by the possibilities that that might emerge as a result. Tonight: Only with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Defer to others. One person could be unusually silent and withdrawn. Your caring will help melt barriers, but perhaps not as quickly as you might like. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. Jacqueline Bigar
The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle.
