VATICAN CITY (AP)

Pope Francis on Sunday pro-claimed Mother Teresa a saint and hailed the revered Catholic

nun as an embodiment of maternal love who talked truth to power on behalf of the poor.

“We may have some difficulty in calling her ‘Saint’ Teresa,” the pontiff said. “Her holiness is so near to us, so tender and so fruitful that we continue to spontaneously call her Mother.”

He added: “She made her voice heard before the powers of this world, so that they might recognise their guilt for the crime -– the crimes! -– of poverty they created.”

Teresa’s canonisation mass was attended by more than 100,000 pilgrims, including heads of state and hundreds of sari-clad nuns from her order, the Missionaries of Charity.

Queen Sofia of Spain and around 1,500 homeless people also looked on as Francis described Teresa’s work in the slums of Kolkata as “eloquent witness to God’s

closeness to the poorest of the poor”.To applause, he added: “Mother Teresa

loved to say, ‘perhaps I don’t speak their language but I can smile’. Let us carry her smile in our hearts.”

Candles and flowers were laid on Tere-sa’s tomb at the headquarters of her order in the Indian metropolis she is so closely associated with.

Lighting a candle, Konica Cecilia said Teresa had given her impoverished parents money to help them send her to school.

“I was fortunate to meet Mother. She was a living saint and an inspiration to me,” the 32-year-old said.

Francis also used his sermon to recall Teresa’s fervent opposition to abortion, which she termed “murder by the mother” in a controversial Nobel Peace prize speech in 1979.

With the 16th century basilica of St Peter’s glinting in the late summer sun, Francis led a ritual mass that has barely changed for centuries.

Speaking in Latin, he declared “blessed Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata) to be a Saint... decreeing that she is to be venerated as such by the whole Church.”

Teresa spent all her adult life in India, first teaching, then tending to the dying poor for decades before her death in 1997.

It was in the latter role, at the head of her now worldwide order, that Teresa became one of the most famous women on the planet.

Born to Kosovan Albanian parents in Skopje -- then part of the Ottoman empire, now the capital of Macedonia -- she won the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize and was revered around the world as a beacon for the Christian values of self-sacrifice and charity.

LATIN AMERICA

MEXICO CITY (AP)

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said last Thurs-day that Republican stan-

dard-bearer Donald Trump’s proposals represent a “threat” to his country, a day after the two men met in the Mexican capital.

Peña Nieto has been widely criticized in his country for inviting and meeting with Trump, as well as for not confronting him more directly about comments calling immigrants from Mexico criminals, drug-runners and “rapists,” and Trump’s vows to build a border wall and force Mexico to pay for it.

Speaking at a town hall where he fielded questions from young people, Peña Nieto sought to defend his decision. He said the easier path would have been to “cross my arms” and do nothing in response to Trump’s “affronts, insults and humilia-tions,” but he believed it necessary to open a dialogue to stress the importance of the U.S.-Mexico relationship.

He acknowledged Mexicans’ “enormous indignation” over Trump’s presence in the country and repeated that he told him in person Mexico would in no way pay for the proposed border wall.

The president came under fire for not responding to Trump’s mention of the wall during a joint news conference

last Wednesday, something he has since sought to correct. Earlier Thursday, after Trump tweeted that Mexico would pay for the wall, Peña Nieto fired back his own tweet saying that would “never” happen.

Peña Nieto also rejected a recent inves-tigative report that found large portions of his law thesis 25 years ago were copied from other sources, although he allowed that some authors were “probably” not cited properly.

“I remember very clearly the studies I carried out, what I researched and what I formulated in my thesis. Nobody can tell me I plagiarized my thesis,” the president said. “I may have committed some meth-odological error, but not with the aim of wanting to make someone else’s ideas mine.”

Aristegui Noticias’ report about the thesis last month was the latest bad news in what analysts say has been a very tough year for Peña Nieto. An Aug. 11 poll by the newspaper Reforma put his approval rating at about 23 percent, lower than for any Mexican president since it began con-ducting the survey 21 years ago.

Homicides are on the rise after falling early in his term. The economy has been struggling due to low oil prices and other factors. The Treasury Department recently lowered Mexico’s GDP growth forecast yet again to between 2 percent and 2.6 percent.

POLITICS

WASHINGTON (AP)

Election Day isn’t what it used to be. The presidential winner may be all but known by then, thanks

to early voting.Beginning Friday, residents in North

Carolina can submit absentee mail-in ballots — the first of 37 states and the District Columbia to vote by mail or at polling sites before Nov. 8. Four years ago, about 45.6 million people or 35 percent of the electorate attracted by its convenience voted early, and that number is expected to spike in 2016.

That’s where Hillary Clinton’s ground game — at least double the size of Donald Trump’s — could make a difference.

In seven states being targeted by both campaigns — Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia — early votes are expected to make up 45 to 75 percent or more, based on 2012 numbers. All but Colorado are must-win for Trump.

No votes will be counted until Nov. 8. However, many states report the party

affiliation of people who have cast ballots, offering solid clues.

“We could see so many votes banked that it becomes nearly impossible to catch up,” said Michael McDon-ald, a University of Florida professor and expert in elec-tion statistics.

In 2008, Barack Obama made early voting a priority, amassing such big leads with blacks, Hispanics and first-time voters that he pulled out wins in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina and Colo-rado despite losing the Election Day vote there, according to elections data com-piled by The Associated Press. In 2012, he did it again in Florida and Iowa.

Hoping to replicate that success,

Clinton is spending millions of dollars on a get-out-the vote effort put into place in the spring. It taps into a detailed data-base to identify likely voters statewide and down to the neighborhood level, using thousands of employees and sending 50,000-some volunteers door to door to register and educate voters.

Trump, relying heavily on the Republican National Committee, has 133 field offices nationwide and plans to open 24 more over the next two weeks. That’s compared with “hundreds” for Clinton.

Trump’s people have been slow to recruit volunteers in battle-grounds such as Iowa. At this point in 2012, Republican nominee Mitt Romney had a full field staff working intensely with the RNC to identify and reach out to early voters.

RNC officials say they have 1,000 employees and 5,000-plus trained organizers and other vol-unteers in 11 states assigned to mobilize voters. Heavy focus is on boosting absentee mail-in ballot-

ing in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Iowa, using the RNC’s own data analytics program.

Acknowledging an uphill battle in early votes, the RNC says its goal will be to keep pace with Democrats and ensure Election Day will decide the outcome after all.

Could Clinton win it before Election Day?

LATIN AMERICA

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico (AP)

Hurricane Newton slammed into the twin resorts of Los Cabos on the southern tip of Mex-

ico’s Baja California peninsula Tuesday morning, knocking out power in some places as stranded tourists huddled in their hotels.

Newton made landfall as a Category 1 storm with winds of 90 mph (150 kph), pelting the area near Cabo San Lucas with heavy rain and blowing down at least half a dozen palm trees along the coastal bou-levard.

It then moved inland, retaining its winds almost unabated, and by early Tuesday was located about 50 miles (85 kilometers) northwest of Cabo San Lucas.

Mexico extended hurricane warnings for the peninsula and also a stretch of the main-land coast across the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez. The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted Newton could cross the peninsula as a hurricane and re-enter the gulf.

Newton was forecast to dump 8 to 12 inches of rain on Baja California Sur state with isolated maximums up to 18 inches, and heavy rains were also expected for five other states. Newton could even reach the

U.S. border at Arizona as a tropical storm, according to the latest forecasts.

Boat owners pulled fishing craft in from the water ahead of the storm’s arrival and business owners nailed boards and sheets of

plywood over windows in Cabo San Lucas, which was hammered by Category 3 Hurri-cane Odile in 2014.

About 14,000 tourists remained in Los Cabos as of Monday night as airlines can-celled flights out as the storm approached, said Genaro Ruiz, the state tourism secre-tary. Ruiz said tourists had been advised to remain in their hotels.

“The most important thing is to stay at home,” said Carlos Godinez, a civil defense official for Baja California Sur. “If there is nothing that requires you to be outside, take shelter with your family.”

Officials evacuated low-lying areas and opened 18 shelters at schools in the two resorts and 38 more in other parts of the state, while warning people against panic buying.

“There is no need for mass buying,” Los Cabos Mayor Arturo de la Rosa Escalante said. “There is enough food and fuel for the next 20 days.”

Los Cabos police were stationed at shop-ping malls to guard against the kind of looting that occurred after Hurricane Odile.

Dave Says

Dear Dave,

I’m getting married soon, and my fiancée and I together have saved about $9,000 for our wedding. Right now, we’re doing really well on our budgets and almost always have money left over each month. Should we use the extra money to continue paying down our debt, or is it okay to use it for a few wedding incidentals? — Nathan

Dear Nathan,

I love the idea of having a nice, reasonable wedding paid for with cash. Some people look at weddings as an excuse to go nuts, but you guys sound like you have a good plan in mind.

The average cost of a wedding in America right now is around $30,000. Even if the extras you mentioned run $5,000 to $6,000, you’re still talking about half that amount. So, let’s look at it this way. Basically, you’re asking me if it’s okay to put your debt snow-ball on hold temporarily in order to modestly enhance your already reasonable wedding plans. My answer is yes!

God bless, and I hope you have long and happy lives together! — Dave

Cash wedding on a budget

STATE

By Gail Siegel, WSU Performing ArtsPULLMAN, Washington

The fourth annual Humanitas Festival will be Sept. 20-24 on the Washington State Univer-

sity Pullman campus and in surround-ing communities.

Headlining at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, are the award-winning Villalo-bos Brothers from Veracruz, Mexico, featuring virtuoso violinists and vocal-ists Ernesto, Alberto and Luis Villalo-bos. Presented by WSU Performing Arts, the high-octane concert will weave Mariachi traditions with jazz and classi-cal harmonies.

Born and raised in Xalapa, the Vil-lalobos brothers spent their childhood listening to their grandmother, Cristina Vásquez, sing and play guitar and accor-dion after a day›s work. They took up the violin as children and soon learned to sing and play other instruments, including guitar and piano.

As one of today’s leading Mexican ensembles, the Villalobos Brothers use

their violins and voices to redefine con-temporary Mexican music. Their original compositions deliver a powerful message of love, brotherhood and social justice with musical brilliance, cadence and virtu-osity. Artistic director and guitarist Hum-berto Flores, drummer Rose Avila and bassist Leo Sherman complete the lineup.

The group has delighted listeners from Latin America, India and Russia to Carn-

egie Hall and the Latin Grammy Awards. “With our music, we hope to transcend

borders, ideological as well as cultural,” said Luis Villalobos. “In addition, we hope to open up a window that will allow us to share the sounds that give life to our cre-ative universe.”
