Lawmakers learn of more ‘high-risk’ barrels from Los Alamos lab

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

A second drum of nuclear waste contains the same volatile mix of ingredients from Los Alamos National Laboratory that is suspected of causing a radiation leak at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, lawmakers learned Tuesday.

The revelation came during a meeting of the New Mexico Legislature’s Radioactive and Hazardous Materials Committee in Carlsbad. It signals renewed cause for concern, considering that the precise cause of the Feb. 14 rupture of a waste drum that exposed more than 20 WIPP workers to radiation has not been identified, according to a nuclear watchdog with a close eye on the below-ground nuclear waste repository.

“We need to know what the cause is. We can’t really reopen WIPP until we know what the cause is, and until then we won’t know that it won’t happen again,” said Don Hancock, director of the nuclear waste safety program at the Southwest Research and Information Center.

Terry Wallace Jr., the lab’s WIPP recovery manager, told the committee that in addition to the waste drum that burst in February in Panel 7 Room 7 at WIPP, a drum housed in nearby Panel 6 contains the same worrisome mix of waste: organic kitty litter, acid neutralizer and a lead-laden glove introduced during treatment of the Cold War-era waste at Los Alamos.

During the legislative committee’s last meeting in July, LANL officials acknowledged for the first time that during the remediation process, a lead-tainted glove had been left in the drum that later burst, and the glove may have contributed to the

The country’s system for handling end-oflife care is largely broken and should be overhauled at almost every level, a national panel concluded in a report released Wednesday.

The 21-member nonpartisan committee, appointed by the Institute of Medicine, the independent research arm of the National Academy of Sciences, calls for sweeping change.

Martinez targets King over release of con man

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Gov. Susana Martinez’s latest campaign ad attacks Democratic opponent Gary King over his role in the early release of Michael Soutar, a man authorities called the “Casanova Con Man” for his crimes of wooing wealthy women and taking their money in fraudulent investment Michael Soutar schemes.

Soutar was convicted of 10 felony counts in 2007 and sentenced to 34 years in prison. But he was released in an agreement King signed off on in 2012.

A 60-second radio ad released

by Martinez this week says he got released early because he hired “an insider” who could “get to Gary King.” The Martinez campaign says that’s a reference to former House Speaker Raymond Sanchez, who now is an Albuquerque lawyer and lobbyist.

King’s campaign spokesman said Tuesday that the commercial distorts the facts of the case. Also Tuesday, David Pederson, the prosecutor who handled the Soutar case in 2012, called a news conference to dispute the version of the story in the ad. He said the Attorney General’s Office had nothing to do with the agree-

“The bottom line is the health care system is poorly designed to meet the needs of patients near the end of life,” said David M.

Joshua Oppenheimer named MacArthur Fellow, will receive $625K prize

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Joshua Oppenheimer, a filmmaker who was raised in Santa Fe and lived here for many years, was named a 2014 MacArthur Fellow and will receive the so-called “genius grant,” a $625,000 no-stringsattached prize.

Oppenheimer was one of 21 recipients of the awards, which are Joshua Oppenheimer funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and doled out in quarterly payments over five years. The announcement was made Wednesday.

Oppenheimer’s documentary film, The Act of Killing, was nominated this year for an Academy Award. In it, he profiles the state-sponsored killers who took part in a large-scale massacre of between a half-million and 2 million Indonesians in the mid-1960s.

Many of these perpetrators happily reenacted for Oppenheimer’s cameras the way they had killed their victims.

Businesses aim for immunization Drugstores grab bigger share of vaccine market

By Tom Murphy The Associated Press

Walgreen provided enough flu shots last season to protect a population roughly twice the size of Los Angeles.

CVS doled out more than 5 million, or double its total from a few years ago. And Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, offers flu shots at more than 4,200 of its U.S. stores that have pharmacies.

The nation’s biggest drugstores and other retailers are grabbing larger chunks of the immunization

market, giving customers more convenient options outside the doctor’s office to protect themselves against the flu, pneumonia and other illnesses. In fact, nearly half of all flu vaccines provided to adults are now administered in non-medical settings like drugstores or worksite clinics.

But this push by retailers muscles into an area of health care that was once largely the domain of the family doctor. And that stirs some concern from doctors who want to stay tuned into the health of their patients and keep track of who has received a vaccine.

Retailers say their pharmacists can notify a customer’s primary care doctor that the patient had a flu shot, if the patient gives them the contact

information, and their expansion into vaccinations isn’t meant to replace a primary care doctor visit.

“It’s all about providing our customers with access to affordable health care,” said Danit Marquardt, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman.

Retailers, some of which also offer vaccinations against diseases such as yellow fever and chickenpox, don’t disclose how much they make off vaccines.

They likely represent a small slice of overall profit, but their value extends beyond what they contribute to the bottom line.

“The vaccine is, I think … a good marketing tool to bring people in,” said Eric Keuffel, a Temple University health economist.

In 1999, only 22 states allowed pharmacists to administer flu shots.

A decade later, all 50 permitted the practice, after the outbreak of swine flu, or the H1N1 virus.

Drugstores, which had spent years opening locations nationwide, offered plenty of places for people to quickly get flu shots to guard against that global pandemic.

Their stores are open on weekends and for longer hours during the day than a typical doctor’s office. Plus, they can give shots without appointments.

The number of flu vaccines distributed in the United States has nearly doubled since 2000 to 134.5 million in the 2013 to 2014 season.

In brief Dow closes at record high after Fed holds rates NEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrial average is closing at a record high after the Federal Reserve maintained its stance on record-low interest rates.

The Dow rose 24 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 17,156 Wednesday, surpassing its previous high from July by 18 points. The blue-chip average rose as much as 89 points after the Fed kept the phrase “considerable time,” in referring to how long it would wait before raising interest rates.

The Fed has held the short-term rates it controls close to zero for more than five years, which has helped stimulate the economy and fueled a bull market for stocks.

Ambush suspect was military re-enactor Schools closed, kids stayed inside and authorities chased down several false sightings Wednesday in their hunt for the suspect in a fatal ambush outside a rural Pennsylvania State Police barracks.

Police released new details about the background of Eric Frein, a 31-year-old self-taught survivalist who authorities said recently shaved his head in a wide Mohawk, evidently as “part of the mental preparation to commit this cowardly act,” Lt. Col. George Bivens said Tuesday afternoon.

Frein belonged to a military simulation unit based in eastern Pennsylvania whose members play the role of soldiers from Cold War-era eastern Europe, Bivens told reporters. “In his current frame of mind, Frein appears to have assumed that role in real life,” he said.

Hundreds of law enforcement officials spent a fifth full day Wednesday looking for the gunman who concealed himself outside the Blooming Grove barracks late Friday and shot two troopers with a rifle, killing one and wounding the second. .

Study: Teen drug and alcohol use falls WASHINGTON — Drug and alcohol use among America’s teens continues to trend downward, according to new numbers released Tuesday by the Department of Health and Human Services.

The rate of regular alcohol use among teens aged 12 to 17 declined from from 17.6 percent to 11.6 percent over the same period. Teen marijuana

PORTLAND, Ore. — For a time last year, Oregon joined seven other states in giving driving privileges to people living in the country illegally.

But a small anti-immigrant group rounded up just enough signatures to stop the law and put a measure before voters in November to void it.

The measure is unexpected in progressive Oregon and comes at a time when lawmakers nationwide have been granting immigrants more privileges. It will be the first time that voters in any state will weigh in on the issue.

Study links artificial sweeteners with diabetes

By Malcolm Ritter The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Using artificial sweeteners may set the stage for diabetes in some people by hampering the way their bodies handle sugar, suggests a preliminary study done mostly in mice.

The authors said they are not recommending any changes in how people use artificial sweeteners based on their study, which included some human experiments. The researchers and outside experts said more study is needed, while industry groups called the research limited and said other evidence shows sweeteners are safe and useful for weight control.

The study from researchers in Israel was released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

The work suggests the sweeteners change the composition of normal, beneficial bacteria in the gut. That appears to hamper how well the body handles sugar in the diet, which in turn can result in higher blood sugar levels. This impairment, called glucose intolerance, can eventually lead to diabetes.

Some experts who didn’t participate in the work urged caution in interpreting the results.

James Hill, an obesity expert at the University of Colorado, called the work good science. Still, overall, “I do not think there is enough data yet to lead to a definitive conclusion about artificial sweeteners and the body’s handling of sugar,” he wrote in an email.

Researchers began by testing three widely used sweeteners: saccharin, sold for example as Sweet ‘N Low; sucralose, sold as Splenda, and aspartame, sold for example as NutraSweet, in 20 mice. Some animals got one of those substances in their water, and others got sugar water or just water. After 11 weeks, researchers gave all the mice a dose of sugar and monitored the response in their blood sugar levels.

The mice that initially got sugar showed about the same response as those that got plain water. But mice that got any of the sweeteners showed markedly higher blood sugar levels, indicating impairment in handling of the sugar dose. Further mouse experiments linked that outcome to an effect on gut bacteria.

To gain some preliminary information on people, the researchers turned to 381 non-diabetic volunteers who filled out a questionnaire that estimated their consumption of artificial sweeteners. Forty participants who had the most showed evidence of higher blood sugar than 236 nonusers.

In another preliminary test, researchers gave saccharin for a week to seven healthy volunteers who normally don’t consume sweeteners. Four showed a decline in their ability to handle sugar over the course of the week.

Skepticism lingers on military strategy to equip and arm Syrian rebels

ers hold a much broader debate after the November elections about the fight against Islamic terrorists.

Obama on Wednesday repeated his promise not to send combat forces into the military campaign against Islamic State, telling troops in a speech at Florida’s MacDill Air Force Base that he will “not commit you fighting another ground war in Iraq.”

In a statement after the House vote, Obama said, “There will be no U.S. military personnel in Syria as part of this program. We’ve learned over the last decade, and through our successful campaign to degrade al-Qaida, that it is more effective to use America’s unique capabilities to take out terrorist targets in support of our partners’ efforts on the ground to secure their own future.”

The amendment authorizing Obama’s plans was part of a shortterm spending bill keeping the federal government operating through midDecember. Supporters included

159 Republicans and 114 Democrats, while 85 Democrats and 71 Republicans voted against the amendment.

The Senate is expected to give the bill final approval Thursday.

Several lawmakers who are military veterans or still serving in the armed forces voted against the authorization.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a Marine who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, said the authority “does nothing” to destroy Islamic State. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, a captain in the Hawaii National Guard who served in Iraq, called Obama’s strategy “unrealistic” and worried “it will take way too long” to work.

Some of Obama’s closest congressional allies also expressed deep skepticism. “I have hesitations and concerns about the blank check we gave George Bush,” said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Israel supported the authorization

Wednesday, but said many Democrats would push for language in the fall to prevent the mission from resembling Iraq in 2005 and 2006, when the deadliest fighting took place.

“The one thing I know is that ISIL is a fundamental threat and it needs to be addressed,” he said, using a common acronym for the Islamic State group.

In the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was preparing to hold a vote on the spending measure Thursday.

Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, co-authored the first bill to help train and arm rebels in Syria, but said Wednesday that he is unsure how the new legislation would work.

“There’s a major disconnect,” Corker said, smacking his head for emphasis.

Still, Corker said he plans to support the limited operation in anticipation of a longer debate later this year.,

Scots’ vote to split from U.K. a risk

By Steven Erlanger and Katrin Bennhold The New York Times

EDINBURGH, Scotland — The people of Scotland will decide Thursday whether national pride outweighs economic risk.

The vote on independence will take place without any of the usual factors that drive the dissolution of great nations: no war, no acute economic crisis, no raging territorial dispute. In fact, the situation is the opposite: peace, a slowly recovering economy and a central government in London that promises to grant more powers to the Scottish Parliament.

The Scots cannot claim they have not been warned about the uncertain and even dire consequences of splitting from

the United Kingdom, on issues like the currency, investment, pensions and declining energy revenues from the North Sea. Economists normally as ideologically disparate as Alan Greenspan, Paul Krugman, Adam S. Posen and Niall Ferguson all have predicted a negative economic outlook for an independent Scotland.

But half of Scots, give or take a few percentage points, are expected to vote for independence anyway.

Some do not believe the negative forecasts, calling them “fear-mongering.”

Alyn Smith, a pro-independence Scottish member of the European Parliament and a former corporate lawyer, said that the British government did what was best for the

United Kingdom.

“The U.K. does not incentivize how to grow the Scottish economy but the U.K. economy,” he said.

Those opposed to independence have focused so much on the potentially negative effects of independence that many Scots seem to have stopped listening or decided they prefer the reassurances of Alex Salmond, the leader of the independence movement.

Salmond maintains that Scotland can stand on its own, that the British government is “bluffing” when it says it has ruled out a currency union.

“The ‘no’ campaign has been prophesying that the sky will fall for so long that it’s just all noise and not credible anymore,” Smith said.

THE NEW MEXICAN Thursday, September 18, 2014

WIPP: Report identifies 16 drums with worrisome waste mixture Continued from Page A-1 chemical reaction that caused the radiation leak at WIPP. “It’s concerning that just a couple months ago, the scope of the problem was presented to us as one drum,” said state Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, chairman of the Radioactive and Hazardous Waste Committee. “Now the scope being represented by the lab involves more high-risk drums.”

In all, the report identified 16 drums containing disturbing mixtures of waste. Half of those are of greater concern than the others, Wallace told the panel. And just two of the drums — the

one that burst and the one housed in Panel 6 at WIPP — contain the same potentially reactive elements that waste experts regard as the highest concern.

Twelve of the drums containing waste identified as high risk are at WIPP — 11 of them in Panel 6 and the one that ruptured in Panel 7. Six more are stored at the Waste Control Specialists site in Andrews, Texas, Wirth said.

The senator expressed relief that none of the drums is still stored on the Los Alamos hillside, where some drums of waste have been kept since WIPP stopped receiving shipments in the aftermath of the radiation leak.

But for Carlsbad, where at least one more waste container has been identified as a potential powder keg, the revelation brings no solace. Access to WIPP’s underground storage facilities has been limited since the February radiation release. As a result, Panel 6, where the second dubious drum of waste remains, cannot be immediately accessed in a way that ensures radiation will not escape.

“There are two problematic drums [at WIPP], one of which they can’t even get at,” Hancock said. “So if it were to explode, that’s a problem.”

Wallace’s report to the committee

Con man: King’s spokesman acknowledges meeting with Sanchez Continued from Page A-1 ment that allowed early release for Soutar.

The spot first appeared Tuesday as a 50-second radio ad. On Wednesday, a 30-second television version appeared.

Here’s the text of the radio version of the ad.

(The TV spot is a slightly condensed version): “They called him the Casanova Con Man. He preyed on women, stealing their life savings. He was convicted of 10 felonies, sentenced to 34 years in prison. But that’s not the end of the story.

“Casanova had one con left. He needed an insider, someone to get to Attorney General Gary King. To get him out of prison.

So Casanova Con hired Gary King’s political friend to lobby for early release. It worked.

“Gary King caved, and Casanova Con got out after serving only five years. Only five years of a 34-year sentence. Gary King himself cut the deal, meeting Raymond in private with Casanova Con’s Sanchez lawyers. You see, Casanova Con knew hiring a powerful King insider was the way to go.

“Victims were outraged, but it was Casanova’s best con. Because he knew Gary King stands for the powerful few, not us.”

The version of events as stated in the ad, according to a Martinez website, are based on a lengthy June 2014 investigative piece in The Santa Fe Reporter.

The basic elements of the story seem to be true. Soutar, who had been in trouble with the law for years before his conviction, was released after a March 2012 hearing in Santa Fe before then District Judge Michael Vigil.

Soutar actually spent more than seven years behind bars, if you count the time he was incarcerated before he was convicted. Pederson said that with good-time credits, Soutar served the equivalent of about 10 years of his sentence.

And technically, King didn’t “get him out of prison,” as the ad says. Then state District Judge Michael Vigil did.

But King’s office didn’t oppose the release, and on the day of the 2012 hearing, spokesman Phil Sisneros told The New Mexican, “We are very pleased with today’s outcome. … What we’ve been concerned about in fighting this case the past year is that the victims wouldn’t get any of their money back. We got the outcome we were looking for today.”

Asked about that at the news conference, Pederson said he wasn’t aware of Sisneros’ statement.

“Nobody asked me,” he said.

Asked why he didn’t oppose the release, Pederson said the decision rested solely with the judge — even though both prosecutors and defense attorneys routinely try to sway a judge to decide one way or another.

While the King camp insists the Attorney General’s Office wasn’t involved in the release deal, Sisneros, currently working as King’s campaign spokesman, this week acknowledged that King had met with Sanchez — who was speaker when King was a member of the House of Representatives in the 1980s and ’90s, — when the release agreement was being negotiated.

A March 12, 2012, email from Sanchez to King, provided by the Martinez campaign Wednesday, indicates there was some kind of agreement.

“Gary, I hope all is still on track with regard to Thursday,” Sanchez wrote. “Ellie Brogan [Soutar’s public defender] got the impression while speaking to Dave that there may be a problem because of the Securities Division of the Regulation and Licensing [Department] getting involved. I’ve told her I’m comfortable that what you and I agreed to will stand; in the meantime, I’ll try to reach Dave.”

Daniel Tanaka, then the director of the Securities Division, was opposed to releasing Soutar. The division had helped prosecute the case in 2007.

And apparently, King had been involved for at least a few months. The Martinez camp also produced a November 2011 email from Joel Jacobsen of the Attorney General’s Office to Brogan.

She had asked about when a mediation meeting might be scheduled concerning restitution in the case.

Jacobsen wrote, “It’s WAY over my head now, with Gary King himself getting involved, so I don’t really have a good sense of what’s going on.”

A story in The New Mexican at the time of his release in 2012 said Soutar agreed to pay “$200,000 in restitution to victims to whom he wrote fraudulent checks and enticed into investing in his Santa Fe Market in 2004.”

That money for the victims would come from the settlement in a legal malpractice suit, Soutar’s public defender said.

The state estimated the settlement amount at around $500,000, The New Mexican said, “and $170,000 had already been deposited in a court escrow account.”

On Wednesday, Pederson said all of the victims named in the indictment received restitution from Soutar — including The New Mexican, which was owed thousands of dollars in bad advertising debts from Soutar.

Asked why the state couldn’t have forced Soutar to relinquish his settlement money without agreeing to release him from prison, Pederson said that might have been possible, but that could have tied up the money in court for years.

The restitution was a major reason for the release, authorities said at the time. But Souter’s health was another factor. His lawyer said Soutar was suffering from prostate cancer. “I don’t think the taxpayers of New Mexico should have to carry that bill,” Vigil said at the 2012 hearing.

included acknowledgements that the radiation release at WIPP illuminated that the lab fell short in its oversight of its waste packaging contractor and violated the terms of its operating permit issued by the New Mexico Environment Department, Wirth said.

“There was also an acknowledgement from the Department of Energy that over the years, the safety culture at WIPP has slipped,” the senator said.

“The question becomes, ‘what comes next?’ ” The answer, Hancock said, will be contained in the much-anticipated WIPP recovery report. Hancock is

skeptical that the report can be adequate when the precise cause of the chemical reaction that led to the radiation leak remains unknown, despite numerous attempts to re-create it by teams of leading scientists from nuclear labs throughout the U.S. “They want to know what the cause is, too. My concern, frankly, is they’re eventually going to decide that a plausible explanation is good enough,” Hancock said. “That’s not good enough for me, and it shouldn’t be for anybody. I think it’s very likely we won’t know what the cause is. That creates a real conundrum.”

Union: Mayor asks for meeting Continued from Page A-1 stalled over the staffing dispute, and the hospital has declared an impasse. The most recent contract between the union and the hospital expired July 31.

Osborn said the online petition and increasingly frequent calls to union headquarters from patients who refuse to use the hospital suggest the union has the community’s support.

“There’s a lot of people saying they are not getting their health care at the hospital right now,” she said. “So that’s why we feel like we have disrupted business at the hospital.”

Rather than threaten to strike, Osborn said, the union chose to fight the hospital on the public opinion front. She said recent membership meetings included strike discussions, but members worry about the practical problems that a work stoppage could pose.

The union wants to exhaust all other options before taking that drastic step, Osborn said.

The hospital stands by its resistance to defined staffing levels or increased staffing.

Its leaders contend patient outcomes have steadily improved and that adding more nurses won’t lead to better results.

“Our quality indicators have sustained positive gains over the past five years,” Christus St. Vincent spokesman Arturo Delgado said, “and we’re working hard to improve the patient experience on all levels.”

Since the labor contract between the hospital and the union expired, negotiating teams have met face to face just once. Messages passed through a federal mediator and email corre-

spondence have been the primary modes of communication. The union wants to continue negotiating, and its leaders hope stepped-up picketing will increase community pressure on the hospital to come back to the table.

“How are we going to get this solved if they won’t even talk with us?” Osborn said.

Hospital leaders question whether more negotiating sessions could resolve the differences over staffing. “[The hospital] believes no further faceto-face meetings are warranted. … We have seen nothing that leads us to believe further face-to-face sessions will lead to progress on staffing,” Pearl Mohnkern, the hospital’s vice president of human resources, wrote in a letter to the union dated Monday.

On Wednesday, Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales invited representatives of the union and the hospital to meet Tuesday at his office.

“These two groups are not making good progress,” Gonzales said in a statement. “But we’re not going to get anywhere if we let the conversation die.”

The mayor said the ongoing labor strife at the hospital hurts nurses, the hospital and patients.

“The worst damage is done when we simply walk away from the table,” Gonzales said.

Osborn said the union plans to accept the mayor’s invitation.“We’ll talk,” she said.

“We want to get the hospital in any situation where we can talk.”

Hospital spokesman Delgado acknowledged the mayor’s invitation Wednesday afternoon, but he said the hospital’s leaders had not decided whether to attend.

Grant: 2 Santa Feans won in ’03 Continued from Page A-1 This year, he released another film, The Look of Silence, which centers on a family of survivors of that genocide who confront one of the assassins.

In an email from Copenhagen, Denmark, where he has lived for several years, Oppenheimer said, “This is astounding news and it comes at the best possible time. After a decade excavating the present-day legacy of the Indonesian genocide, the MacArthur fellowship will allow me to find the courage to dive in to something wholly new — with the freedom, wildness, depth and focus necessary for exploring uncharted waters.”

He said his work would not exist without the help of his film crew and his family. In a video produced by the foundation to spotlight the recipients, Oppenheimer said he uses the camera “to explore how people want to be seen and how they see themselves.”

In his email, Oppenheimer said his parents’ interest and work on behalf of social justice causes taught him that “the aim of culture is to help us learn to live without fear, to honor and make sacrifices for the less fortunate, and to empathize with and try to love all human beings. I do my best to live those lessons through the films that I make.”

Carol Oppenheimer, a Santa Fe labor lawyer and community activist, said by phone that her son “never thought in his wildest

dreams that this could happen.” The grant, she said, makes her and her husband, Morty Simon, also a labor lawyer, realize “how one person with integrity and a vision and some gift can begin to change the world.”

She recalled the political theater her son engaged in as a child in Santa Fe, later at Harvard University, where he received a bachelor’s degree, and in street theater projects he mounted in Calcutta to spotlight the plight of prostitutes getting AIDS. Born in Texas, Joshua Oppenheimer — who turns 40 next week — attended Carlos Gilbert Elementary School in Santa Fe and graduated from the now-defunct Brunn School in 1991. After attending Harvard, he earned a doctorate of philosophy from Central Saint Martins College at the University of the Arts in London.

The MacArthur Foundation, based in Chicago, has given out its “genius grants” since 1981 to honor creativity in many fields of work. Over the ensuing years, artists, arts educators, historians, novelists, political scientists and mathematicians, among others, have received the award.

Recipients do not know that they are under consideration. You cannot apply for the fellowship, and there are no requirements on how the money must be spent.

Two Santa Feans, blacksmith Tom Joyce and ceramist Daisy Youngblood, won the genius grants in 2003.

Care: Panel calls for ‘major’ restructuring of Medicare, Medicaid Continued from Page A-1 cans and whose members account for about 80 percent of deaths each year, is considering doing just that, prompted by a recent request from the American Medical Association for such coverage.

Some private insurers are already covering such conversations, and many more would if Medicare were to approve the association’s request.

But some recommendations, like changing the reimbursement structure so that Medicare would pay for home health services instead of emphasizing hospital care, and so Medicaid would have better coverage of long-term care for the frail elderly, would require congressional action.

“We know that there may be a need for new legislation to be introduced to accomplish that, and we recognize that that’s harder to accomplish in a politically charged environment,” said Dr. Philip A. Pizzo, a former dean

of the Stanford University School of Medicine and the committee’s other co-chairman.

The panel, which included doctors, nurses, insurers and experts on aging, says Medicare and other insurers should create financial incentives for health care providers to have continuing conversations with patients on advance care planning, possibly starting as early as major teenage milestones like getting a driver’s license or going to college.

It calls for a “major reorientation and restructuring of Medicare, Medicaid and other health care delivery programs” and the elimination of “perverse financial incentives” that encourage expensive hospital procedures while growing numbers of very sick and very old patients want lowtech services like home health care and pain management.

And it says that medical schools and groups that accredit and regulate health providers should greatly

increase training in palliative care and set standards so that more clinicians know how to compassionately and effectively treat patients who want to be made comfortable but avoid extensive medical procedures.

The 507-page report, “Dying in America,” says its recommendations would improve the quality of care and better satisfy more patients and families. It also says the changes would produce significant cost savings that would help make health care more affordable.

“If you meet their needs, treat their pain, treat their depression, get them some help in the house, your costs plummet,” said Dr. Diane E. Meier, a committee member and the director of the Center to Advance Palliative Care.

Fewer patients would end up in emergency rooms getting expensive hospital care they do not want, she said.

“It’s a rare example in health policy

of doing well by doing good,” she added.

The report’s linkage of end-of-life choices to economic savings is likely to fuel claims by critics of advance care planning who charge that the medical establishment and insurers will subtly pressure people to reject life-sustaining treatment in order to save money. This idea ignited intense public controversy several years ago when Sarah Palin and other conservatives raised the specter of government “death panels.”

Burke Balch, the director of the National Right to Life Committee’s Powell Center for Medical Ethics, said in a statement, “The report’s emphasis on cost-slashing will intensify, rather than calm, the well-founded fears of older people and those with disabilities that the renewed push for government funding and promotion of advance care planning is less about discovering and applying their own wishes than about pushing them to

accept premature deaths.”

Panel members also said there should be a more pronounced shift away from fee-for-service medicine, a system that, Pizzo said, “means that being a physician that does procedures, you are more highly compensated than people who are conducting conversations with patients.”

Pizzo said that in surveys of doctors about their own end-of-life preferences, “a vast majority want to be at home and as free of pain as possible, and yet that’s not what doctors practice.”

Palliative care skills should be extensively taught in medical, nursing and social work schools, panel members said, a change that Meier said “is going to require a revolution in health care education.” To ensure consistency and quality of palliative care, there should be “pretty dramatic change in all the certifying boards, accrediting boards and regulatory entities,” Pizzo said.

LOCAL NEWS State nixes S.F. district’s appeal of 3 schools’ D’s Education secretary says test participation rates were too low

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

The state Public Education Department has denied appeals by Santa Fe Public Schools of “D” grades given to three of its schools — the district’s two largest high schools and one of its elementary schools — under the state’s A-F grading system. The

department said there is insufficient evidence to change the three schools’ ratings.

Both Santa Fe High and Capital High fell to D’s this year after receiving B’s in last year’s evaluations. In mid-August, the district appealed those D’s, as well as one given to E.J. Martinez Elementary, arguing that the Public Education Department’s method for calculating student participation in testing was not fair.

The state’s grading formula sets a minimum threshold of 95 percent for student participation in math and

Joel Boyd

Santa Fe superintendent argued schools shouldn’t be punished for kids who opt out of certain tests. reading tests, and all three schools with contested grades had participation levels slightly below that — ranging from 92.4 percent to 94.6 percent — in 2013-14.

However, the district said the state failed to apply a federally approved three-year average of test participation rates, which would have raised the three schools’ test rates over the 95 percent requirement. Without the participation penalty, Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd has said, those schools would have earned C’s under the state’s grading system.

In an Aug. 26 letter to Boyd, Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera said the federal rule on test participation “offers, but does not mandate, the option of uniform aver-

aging.” She also notes that the state generally accepts an average test rate for schools that have an enrollment of fewer than 30 students because percentages for smaller groups are “statistically volatile.”

Boyd argued that in some cases, parents had chosen to opt out of testing for their children, and the district has no control over that decision. But another letter signed by Skandera says, “Parental opt-outs and absent students, although disappointing, are

Exhibit captures soldiers in training Men at Camp Luna had no idea of horrors ahead in Philippines

Official: GOP targeting her blog against ed policies

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

T

he young men photographed during military drills or waiting in line for food at Camp Luna near Las Vegas, N.M., had no idea that hundreds of them would die defending the Bataan Peninsula, walking in the Bataan Death March or during imprisonment by the Japanese under brutal conditions.

In August 1940, members of the 200th Coast Artillery Regiment, which included more than 1,800 New Mexicans, had gathered to train for the last time on home soil. A year later, their units were deployed to the Philippines.

The 10 black-and-white images in a new photo exhibit at the Jean Cocteau Cinema capture the soldiers’ blissful ignorance.

“They’re human beings, not just cogs in the machine,” said Daniel Kosharek, the photo curator for the Palace of the Governors.

Kosharek said he has wanted to display these photos for a while to honor and recognize the young men, but until now he didn’t have the chance.

The exhibit will be on display at the Jean Cocteau until Oct. 12 in the cinema’s gallery at 418 Montezuma Ave. It will be open to the public from 1 to 8 p.m. daily. The images by an unnamed photographer are from the New Mexico Magazine Collection at the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives.

Kosharek said the photos were part of a series that published in a 1940 edition of New Mexico Magazine.

Many of the 1,816 New Mexicans in the regiment were fluent in Spanish, which led military officials to deploy them to the Philippines before the war to aid Filipino troops in defending the Bataan Peninsula.

When the peninsula fell to the Japanese in April 1942, many were captured and forced on the 65-mile Bataan Death March that ended in the deaths of 10,000 troops — 9,000 Filipinos and 1,000 Americans.

Albuquerque school board member faces complaint, social media attack

According to a news release, by the end of the war, 829 New Mexicans from the regiment were dead or missing. More than 800 died during the march or during their imprisonment. A third of the survivors perished within the year due to injuries or illness. Two survivors still live in Santa Fe: Richard Dalyand John Moseley.

An Albuquerque school board member’s social media campaign against Gov. Susana Martinez’s education policies has attracted thousands of followers and also has drawn GOP critics. Now she says Republican efforts to silence her are intensifying.

In addition to facing a formal complaint against her blog filed with the Secretary of State’s Office, Kathy Korte, founder of Stand4KidsNM, said she is under a social media attack from right-wing supporters of the governor, including Rebekah Stevens, whose recently called her “Krazy Kathy Korte” on her Twitter site, Politix Fireball.

In an email, Korte said, “As a public official representing teachers, parents and citizens, and as a mother of four children impacted by public school policies, I have a right to speak my mind and I have a right to do it on FB [Facebook] and Twitter. I don’t deserve to be intimidated and harassed and my good character attacked by all these political hit women and hit men.”

Earlier this month, state Rep. Monica Youngblood, an Albuquerque Republican, filed a complaint with the Secretary of State’s Office arguing that Stand4Kids NM has spent at least $500 to set up and operate its

UNM Hospital takes over legal costs in child cancer cases State was subsidizing claims over two decades of substandard care

By Barry Massey The Associated Press

do this right,” said Shawn Davis, an area supervisor with the livestock board.

Dairy officials have been cooperating since investigators arrived last Friday, board officials said.

The dairy said in a statement that animal care and well-being are central to its operation. As a result, the dairy fired all employees and referred the abusive workers to law enforcement for further review following its own internal investigation.

The dairy also halted milking operations, stopped shipments to all vendors and dispersed thousands of cows to other dairies

Taxpayers have subsidized insurance costs for The University of New Mexico Hospital because of $48 million paid by the state for medical malpractice claims alleging poor treatment of children with leukemia, according to a top official in Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration.

But that subsidy ended in July, when the state’s taxpayer-financed insurance program stopped providing liability coverage for UNM Hospital for claims stemming from the alleged substandard treatment of children with leukemia from 1979 to 1996.

Instead, UNM has assumed responsibility for future liability claims and legal costs for the child cancer lawsuits. The state will continue to provide insurance for all other coverage.

“In the past, we were not acting like an insurance company, and going forward, we will not have any more of these sweetheart deals for any entity,” A. J. Forte, director of the state’s Risk Management Division, said in an interview last week.

The university’s medical malpractice insurance premiums have been too low, he said, because the state didn’t properly factor in the costs of past settlements, ongoing attorney expenses and potential future liabil-

Bataan: ‘They’re human beings’ Continued from Page A-9 men are photographed slogging through the monotony of military training at the rural, dusty Camp Luna.

One photo depicts a line of soldiers clad in wide-brimmed hats marching along what appears to be a dusty road.

Rifles are slung over their shoulders, but the firearms look more like props than weapons.

Another image depicts the soldiers-in-training firing heavy artillery. A plume of dark gray smoke wafts from one of the cannons, a harbinger of what awaits the men overseas.

Korte said the fact that the group is backing Attorney General Gary King does not mean it is a political action group. She said the group has no office, no officers, no budget and no money, and “is not in violation of any campaign finance laws.”

Youngblood said the group is still required to report its inkind contributions.

included in the total number of students that should have participated.”

According to Public Education Department spokesman Larry Behrens, 51 schools appealed their grades this year.

Six won their appeals, but that did not always result in a higher grade, Behrens said.

Some schools earned more points toward a higher grade, but not enough points to reach the next grade level. Only three schools across the state saw their grades improve as a result of appeals, he said.

Statewide, 88 schools received A’s, 244 received B’s, 188 got C’s, 230 earned D’s and

93 received F’s.

Santa Fe Public Schools netted four A’s, six B’s, four C’s, 13 D’s and two F’s.

The district’s A schools were the Academy for Technology and the Classics, a districtchartered middle school and high school, and three elementary schools: Carlos Gilbert, Wood Gormley and Turquoise Trail Charter School. The B schools were Monte del Sol Charter School, which serves students in middle school and high school, and six elementary or K-8 schools: Acequia Madre, Amy Biehl, Atalaya, El Dorado, Piñon and Tesuque.

The Legislature approved Gov. Susana Martinez’s A-F

grading system in spring 2011.

The system weighs student performance, individual student growth and the growth of both the highest-performing and lowest-performing groups of students. Critics — including a group of Los Alamos scientists who tried to break down and analyze the formula last year — have argued that its formula is too difficult to understand.

The state has argued that the grades give parents and communities a better sense of how their schools are faring and help them set goals to improve.

The Wilderness Society, the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Sierra Club and the Campion Advocacy Fund will present Sen. Martin Heinrich with the John P. Saylor Wilderness Leadership Award for his conservation efforts during his years serving in the House and Senate.

The award is named for former Heinrich Rep. John P. Saylor, Martin a Republican from Pennsylvania who was the lead sponsor and champion in the House for the Wilderness Act, which was signed into law 50 years ago. Jamie Williams, president of The Wilderness Society, said, “Sen. Heinrich has worked as a champion for many vital wilderness bills in the House and the Senate. He brings a balanced and broad approach to conserving New Mexico’s treasured public lands.”

The senator is a co-sponsor and champion of the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Act, which would protect 45,000 acres of forest land in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains — an area that contains the headwaters of the Rio Hondo and Red River, significant clean water sources for the central Rio Grande Corridor of New Mexico. The Columbine Hondo, which is popular among hunters, anglers, hikers and backpackers, has been under consideration as a potential wilderness area for more than 30 years.

Heinrich also is a co-sponsor of the Cerros del Norte Conservation Act, which would establish two wilderness areas totaling about 21,000 acres within the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in New Mexico, and a co-sponsor of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks Conservation Act.

Fireball was Russian satellite The Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — People from New Mexico to Montana saw the bright object break apart as it moved slowly northward across the night sky. Witnesses described it as three “rocks” with glowing red and orange streaks.

But the fireball that blazed over the Rockies earlier this month wasn’t a meteor or other celestial body, experts said. Instead, it likely was part of a Russian spy satellite that fell from orbit and burned up over Colorado and Wyoming.

More than three dozen witnesses filed reports about the unusual sighting, which

happened around 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 2.

A meteor would have burned too quickly to be seen over such a vast area, said Mike Hankey, the American Meteor Society’s operations manager.

He added that fragments from the object were even big enough to show up as a weather event on radar just east of Cheyenne. The object probably was a piece of Russia’s Cosmos 2495 reconnaissance satellite, launched in May, said Charles Vick, an aerospace analyst with military information website Global security.org.

The group said the abuses uncovered during its investigations of six dairies around the country — including the New Mexico dairy — are all similar.

“So this isn’t a matter of a single dairy farm failing to meet industry standards.

This is a matter of industry standards allowing for blatant animal abuse,” said Matt Rice, the group’s director of investigations.

Claims: UNM self-insures cancer litigation Continued from Page A-9 ity of child cancer claims.

But Billy Sparks, a spokesman for the UNM Health Sciences Center, said, “There was definitely no sweetheart deal.”

“It’s our understanding that the rates were adjusted to compensate for the claims that were paid, and we were not subsidized,” Sparks said Wednesday. He said the university paid the annual insurance premiums calculated by Risk Management.

Sparks said Risk Management proposed in late 2013 that

UNM self-insure the child cancer litigation, and “after careful consideration, we agreed.”

Forte said the state offered to continue providing insurance coverage for the cancer claims but at an increase of several million dollars in malpractice rates. The state charged about $5.9 million for malpractice insurance for UNM Hospital in the last budget year and boosted that to about $8.7 million this year, even without coverage for leukemia claims, according to the state agency.

Overall, UNM will pay nearly

$23 million to the state this year for all types of insurance, including medical malpractice, general liability, claims for civil rights violations and unemployment compensation. A government agency’s insurance rates are supposed to be high enough to set aside money to cover anticipated losses. When that didn’t happen with UNM Hospital, Forte said, the cost of covering claims was shifted to all other agencies that obtain insurance from the state’s insurance program.

“We believe that every entity

should pay their fair share of their claims, and they should not be subsidized by everyone else in our pool,” Forte said.

“Agencies are funded by taxpayer dollars. So it makes no sense for the general public to be subsidizing UNMH in this case.”

The state has paid about $146 million in medical malpractice claims involving UNM — $48 million of that for child leukemia cases — while collecting about $80 million in premiums from 1998 through the 2014 fiscal years, Forte said.

Funeral services and memorials RAPHAEL (RAY) EDGAR Raphael (Ray) Edgar, 82, passed away September 12, 2014. He was born in Des Moines, IA on May 28, 1932. From his father, Cantor Aaron I. Edgar, he absorbed a lifelong love of operative singing and Jewish music. From his mother, Ann Ziff Edgar, he learned the values of family solidarity and loyalty. These would be the pillars of his long and fulfilling life. He loved the human voice, especially in its highest forms: operatic arias and ensembles, and Cantorial chants of the highest caliber.

He grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, graduating from Omaha Central High School in 1949. He continued his education in Chicago, IL, at Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Music, specializing in vocal performance. He went on to graduate studies at the Cantor’s Institute of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City, where he received a Master’s of Sacred Music and a diploma of Hazzan (Cantor). He was also the recipient of a Master’s degree in Linguistics from American University in Washington, D.C. He began his professional career in Washington, D.C. as Cantor and Musical Director of Adas Israel Congregation, where he served until 1972. This was followed by Cantorial positions in Buffalo, NY, Chicago, IL, and Indianapolis, IN. This last post at Congregation Beth El Zedeck, was by far his favorite.

As a baritone soloist, he performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic, the National Symphony, the Jerusalem Symphony, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the Chicago Symphony String Quartet in works by Purcell, Mascagni, Barber, and Berlinski. He also taught voice privately, and at Roosevelt University, his alma mater.

After nearly 50 years as a Cantor, he retired to Santa Fe, NM in 1998, with his late wife Joyce Stegman Edgar, a mezzo soprano.

They were often heard singing duets at Vanessies, a local piano bar specializing in show tunes. He volunteered with the Santa Fe Opera, the International Folk Art Museum, Literary Volunteers, and Temple Beth Shalom.

He is survived by his beloved children: Barry Edgar (Lake Villa, IL), Orna Edgar (Redmond, WA), and Daphna Edgar (Medford, MA); a sister Laya Frischer of Evanston, IL; and four grandchildren David, Aaron, and Crystal Edgar, and Tahlia Edgar-Chalker.

Memorial Contributions may be made to Beth El Zedeck Congregation, the Santa Fe Opera, and the Jewish World Service.

Funeral services will be held in the chapel of Congregation BethEl Zedeck, 600 West 70th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46260,at 12PM on Thursday, September 18, 2014. The burial will follow in Beth-El Zedeck North Cemetery.

COMMENTARY: FRANCES STEAD SELLERS

Independence threatens British identity WASHINGTON — here’s a bigger issue hanging over the Scottish referendum Thursday than who gets the nuclear arms or the North Sea oil. It’s a question of identity — and far more important than who the English really are, or how quaintly kiltish the Scottish may feel once they’re ungartered from their southern neighbors.

The issue is about more recent Britons and future Britons — immigrants from all over the world who want to call England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland “home” — and dream of their descendants creating a home there, too.

Taking Britain apart, which is what will happen if the Scots vote to go it alone, risks dismantling a fragile process revived just a decade ago of building a sense of citizenship and even kinship among the islands’ old and new residents. It risks letting more young men and women grow up alienated and looking for inspiration overseas.

That’s a chilling prospect as young fighters leave for Syria and “Jihadi John” wields his barbaric knife — and it’s a big burden to place on a plebiscite of some 5 million Scots (less than 10 percent of the British population).

But one of the benefits of being British (I am) is that it’s a collective ideal rather than an ethnic identity. By which I mean, it’s more Magna Carta and rule of law than kilts or cups of tea. Being British involves believing in, or at least accepting, certain shared and somewhat lofty-sounding values (like individual freedom and fairness). But you don’t even have to pretend to like haggis or Morris dancing.

That’s why it’s so much easier to be Bangladeshi British than, say, Sudanese Scottish or Ethiopian English. (Any Italian- or Iranian American will understand that.) Your

A fast pivot for SFCC

S adopted identity is about the values that attracted you, not adapting to the quirks of cultural heritage.

Britain’s ruling elite only recently realized the importance of building this kind of broader American-style identity. Unlike the United States, which was forged out of shared ideals rather than shared genes (and thus ready to adopt any newcomers who accepted its values), Britain and many other European countries became multicultural before they had developed a philosophy of multiculturalism.

A little more than a decade ago, in the post-9/11 world, Britain’s Labour government began an earnest effort to identify and promote that political and moral core by showing that there’s more to being British than having a stiff upper lip. They examined the process of becoming a citizen, which had been nothing to write home about: “I sat alone in an office with a businesslike bureaucrat, who administered a brief oath to Her Majesty the

Queen on a paperback Bible,” remembered journalist Anne Applebaum of when she took British citizenship. “She asked me no questions about Great Britain, nor had I taken a citizenship test, as all would-be Americans have to do.”

Britain introduced a citizenship test in 2005 as well as naturalization ceremonies where fledgling Brits echoed the Oath of Allegiance as they pledged “loyalty to the United Kingdom” and to “respect its rights and freedoms” as well as to “fulfill my duties and obligations as a British citizen.”

A government panel wrestled with the question of what a newcomer needed to know to be a modern multicultural Brit and came up with a test that mixed practical skills, historical knowledge and a little cultural know-how. It also provided a booklet of handy hints on how to manage the natives, including what to do if you spill somebody’s drink in a pub. (Offer to buy another round.) Last year, an updated test was released, which might quiz you on anything from the name of the capital city

(London) or Chaucer’s work (The Canterbury Tales) to how life peers get picked, and what happened in 1066 and all that.

You can take a practice “Life in the U.K.” test here: https:// www.gov.uk/life-in-the-uk-test Or try the Guardian’s short version: http://bit.ly/1pjsluf If you get a perfect score, a message pops up: “Full marks,” it says. “That is terrifically British (just so long as you don’t boast about it to anyone).”

Witty, yes. But the underlying message is clear: You don’t have to be born here to be one of us. That will be a lot harder to explain to prospective immigrants to England, Wales and Northern Ireland — or Engwalni, as some wags are calling the post-British region in an awkward attempt to create togetherness out of three distinct ethnic identities.

Harder still in Scotland, which is building its national identity on ethnic separatism and cultural conformity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Refuse and recycling rules too confusing

W

e recently returned to Santa Fe after 11-plus years in Texas, Colorado and North Carolina simply because it’s home. One of the few things we didn’t miss (and still don’t) is the city’s refuse and recycling process, which reminds one of the tea party in Alice in Wonderland.

How can a city pass an ordinance banning the use by retailers of plastic bags, but have a refuse department insist that all trash be bagged in plastic bags?

In North Carolina, each homeowner is provided with two large containers on wheels: one for trash and one for recycling. In the latter, you are allowed to put all plastic, glass, newspaper, other paper, paperboard and broken-down cardboard.

Recycling participation rates are high.

Here, recycling participation rates are low, not because Santa Feans aren’t environmentally conscious, but because the city’s rules are so complicated that people give up and throw everything in the trash — in plastic bags of course.

A parade shock I am still in a state of shock as to what happened to me and my Love and Peace float at the Fiesta de Santa Fe Historical/ Hysterical parade. A Fiesta Council representative told me I was voted out of the

parade. It would have been nice to tell me three months earlier, not that day. I pulled over to the grassy field and waited for my seven-member band and 50 participants.

I spent five hours trying to figure out what to do. Finally, one of the participants met with Gilbert Romero, president of the Fiesta Council, and he said the float was OK. It was a scramble to get ready.

We were told that ours was a political float and were charged $60. Since the float was not in the musical category, it was out of the running for a prize.

It was the last float, but nonetheless, well-received and appreciated.

I feel I have been profiled. I am a good member of this community and deserve to be respected.

Support nurses Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center administration’s “good faith” negotiating strategy is now clear: Give the nurses’ union a proposal that it can’t accept (the union voted it down by a 90 percent to 10 percent margin) and then offer the same proposal again and declare an “impasse.” That means that the union either has to buckle under and let the hospital do as it pleases with staffing levels or declare a strike.

The hospital wants to staff at the

40th percentile of comparable hospitals and makes the outrageous claim that there is no link between increased staffing and better patient care. The union is holding out for staffing at the 50th percentile of comparable hospitals: Can’t we at least strive to be average?

The hospital administration might think that the union will cave in, or if it does go on strike, that administrators can bust the union. I beg to differ.

I call on everyone to support the nurses and demand the hospital administration come back to bargain in true “good faith.”

Keep standards Despite all the talk coming from Gary King’s education “listening tour,” it’s pretty clear his reforms will result in one thing — an end to our No Child Left Behind waiver. New Mexico, actually, was one of the first states to leave the Washington-run system. However, if Gary King gets his way — that is, rolls back the accountability standards — we will be forced back into a one-size-fits-all, Washington-run education system. This is the last thing New Mexico should do.

anta Fe Community College has a new president.

Randy Grissom, previously interim president, was promoted to the permanent spot at a meeting of the college’s governing board on Tuesday night.

Here’s the agenda notice the Santa Fe community received about the impending move: “approval of evaluation and president’s contract.”

Nowhere on the agenda was it spelled out that the board was considering elevating Grissom — without any search or prior announcement — to the job of president.

Let’s be clear — Grissom has been a calming force in the turmoil after the firing of former President Ana “Cha” Guzmán. He found financial discrepancies, put together a plan to stabilize the school’s finances and has extensive experience at the school. Perhaps he is the perfect choice.

However, it is unseemly, in the aftermath of that expensive firing, for the board to hire a new president with scant notice. Previously, the board had said a search would begin in January 2015.

If Grissom was the permanent choice — and perhaps for stability’s sake he needed to be — board members needed to be more transparent about the possibility before the meeting, not as they voted.

Remember, this is a governing board recently dinged by the Attorney General’s Office for violations of the open meetings law during the crisis around Guzmán’s tenure.

Infractions cited by investigators included creating a letter of reprimand for then-president Guzmán without a vote, discussing personnel or business matters via email and using the vague term “limited personnel matters” when calling a closed meeting in April 2013. For this week’s meeting, perhaps an agenda item that stated: “hiring a new president” would have been a better approach. It’s less vague, for one thing.

The community, faculty, staff and students deserved more. (Not that consultation always helps. With Guzmán, the process was transparent yet led to a bad outcome.)

To hire Grissom — giving him a three-year contract at $175,000 a year but without extra perks — without advance notice was unnecessary. Audience members at the board meeting applauded, and the move apparently is supported by chairmen of both the staff and faculty senates. They want stability.

So does the community, but transparency should not be sacrificed to the need, as one board member said, “to right the ship.” They are not incompatible.

Desperate Gazans flee to Europe in risky sea trips More than 1,300 have crossed into Egypt to embark on voyages

By Karin Laub and Ibrahim Barzak The Associated Press

ABASSAN, Gaza Strip — The university student was desperate to flee Gaza after suffering through years of border closures and three wars.

In early September, a week after the latest war between Gaza’s ruling Hamas and Israel, 22-yearold Mohammed Abu Toaimeh crossed into neighboring Egypt.

He handed $2,000 to traffickers and boarded a ship that was to smuggle him to Europe.

Instead, he and dozens of other Gazans are missing amid reports that smugglers sank their vessel on purpose.

Mohammed’s mother, Ahlam, is plagued by guilt because she helped him scrape together money for the trip. “I had hoped he could begin a new life, better than this life of war and destruction,� she said in between sobs.

In the past two months, more than 1,300 Gazans are believed to have gone to Egypt, some even sneaking in through a border tunnel, to embark on illicit sea voyages, said Ramy Abdu, a human rights activist tracking the trafficking.

It’s a new escape route and a measure of growing desperation in the crowded sliver of land where two-thirds of those under 30 are unemployed.

Dreams of emigration are common in Gaza, with polls regularly indicating more than 40 percent would leave if given a chance. Traditionally, young men in Gaza have been encouraged by their families to work abroad and send money home.

In recent years, some avenues of escape remained open, despite a border blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt after the Hamas militant group’s takeover of Gaza in 2007.

Most would-be emigrants have flown to Europe or the Far East from Egypt, often on student or tourist visas, and then attempted to stay. Travel on migrant boats was unusual.

However, options diminished after Egypt’s military toppled a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo in mid-2013. Egypt’s new rulers sealed hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the border, cutting Gaza’s main economic lifeline, and tightened travel restrictions.

The restrictions sharply reduced the number of Gazans allowed to cross legally into Egypt and those who were permitted to fly from Cairo’s airport.

The recent 50-day war only strengthened the belief of many here that they have no future in Gaza.

More than 2,100 Gazans were killed and more than 18,000 homes destroyed in the fighting.

With Hamas sticking to its militant ideology, there are no signs that Israel and Egypt will ease the blockade significantly.

In mid-July, about a week after the outbreak of the war, a gang of Egyptian smugglers and Palestinian middlemen began advertising sea trips to Europe as cheap and safe, said Abdu.

Word of the boat trips quickly spread among the young men of Gaza, including Mohammed Abu Toaimeh, his 26-year-old brother, Firas, and their 19-yearold cousin, Hussein al-Jorf, who pleaded with their parents to raise the money.

There was little to keep the three in Gaza.

Mohammed and Hussein were studying law at a Gaza City university, with little prospect of employment after graduation.

Mohammed and Firas lived together in their family’s old home, which during the war was seized by Israeli soldiers.

Mohammed’s bedroom had served as a sniper’s position, with two holes cut into a wall at shoulder level and the words “west� and “southwest� scribbled in Hebrew next to them.

In the end, Firas stayed in Gaza because his parents couldn’t afford the voyage for both sons. Hussein left Gaza on Sept. 1 and Mohammed followed two days later.

Both entered Egypt legally via the Rafah border crossing with Gaza, after having obtained papers naming each as an escort for a parent seeking medical treatment in Egypt, the mother, Ahlam, explained.

She said she and Mohammed reached the port city of Alexandria after a nine-hour drive.

There, they handed $2,000 to a smuggler who called himself “Abu Hamada, the Syrian� and put them up in an apartment along with six other migrants.

Ahlam, a 47-year-old mother of eight, said she last spoke to Mohammed by phone on Sept.

6 after a bus took him and Hussein to a waiting vessel.

The International Organization for Migration said the ship sailed from the Egyptian port of Damietta that day with about 500 Palestinians, Syrians, Egyptians and Sudanese on board, including about 100 children.

Abdu said 120 Gaza natives were on the ship.

After four days at sea, smugglers intentionally rammed the vessel southeast of the island of Malta when the migrants refused to switch to a smaller boat they deemed unsafe, the migration organization said, citing survivor testimony.

The witnesses told the IOM that about 300 people on the lower deck were trapped and drowned immediately, while others held on to each other or flotation devices. The fate of Mohammed, Hussein and others from Gaza is unknown.

Zakariya Assouli, a Palestinian immigrant in Sweden, said his uncle, Shukri, was among the survivors and confirmed the boat was intentionally rammed.

Shukri Assouli was picked up by a freighter and flown to Greece, but his wife and two small children are missing, Zakariya said by phone.

He said his uncle had planned to join him in Sweden. “He was looking for a better future for him and his children,� he said.

He said he lost contact with the uncle after their conversation.

The number of migrants and refugees from Africa and the Middle East trying to get to Europe by boat is growing, and more than 110,000 have reached Italy alone so far this year, said Carlotta Sami, a spokeswoman for the Italy office of the main U.N. refugee agency. Newcomers often try to get from there to other European countries, she said.

GOP gains strength as Obama gets low marks

By Megan Thee-Brenan The New York Times

A New York Times/CBS News poll shows that President Barack Obama’s approval ratings are similar to those of President George W. Bush in 2006 when Democrats swept both houses of Congress in the midterm elections.

A deeply unpopular Republican Party is nonetheless gaining strength heading into the midterms, as the American public’s frustration with Obama has manifested itself in low ratings for his handling of foreign policy and terrorism.

The generic ballot question, which measures national sentiment for the House of

Representatives vote, shows a notable swing of voters toward the Republican Party and away from Democrats. Voters’ dissatisfaction with their own representatives has hit a high as nearly two-thirds say they are ready to throw their own representatives out of office.

Republican candidates are further buoyed by the fact that voters trust their party over the Democrats to better handle some issues voters consider to be the most important. The economy ranks at the top of that list followed by health care, terrorism and immigration.

The Republican Party easily tops the Democratic Party in handling the economy, terror-

ism and foreign policy while voters are about evenly divided between the two parties on immigration. Democrats do hold a 5-point advantage on health care, and many Republican candidates have shied away from making the president’s signature health care law a campaign issue.

Despite the Republican advantages overall, Americans continue to broadly disapprove of congressional Republicans even more than congressional

Democrats. The environment for incumbents of both parties is toxic, with more than 9 in 10 voters saying it is time to give new people a chance.

Nearly 55 percent of Republican voters and half as many independents consider their vote for Congress to be against the president. Democrats are divided, with more saying the president does not factor into their vote than those saying their vote is a show of support for him.

Isotopes, Vikings fix ‘mistake,’ bench Peterson Rockies are now affiliated Los Angeles Dodgers dropped team in August The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Bye-bye, Dodgers. Hello, Colorado Rockies.

Officials with the Albuquerque Isotopes and the Rockies signed a four-year player development agreement during a news conference Wednesday, marking the official move of the major league team’s Triple-A affiliation from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque.

The Isotopes had been affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers since 2008 until the team cut its ties last month.

“This is the start of a new era,” said John Traub, the Isotopes general manager.

Officials with the Rockies and the Isotopes said their new relationship makes sense for geographical reasons and because Albuquerque feels like an extension of home for the major league team.

“It’s a six-hour drive from here into Denver. It’s a one-hour flight,” said Jeff Bridich, the Rockies senior director of player development. “Did that play into it? Absolutely. And the fact that this is a large city and growing city and hopefully it’s growing full of Rockies fans.”

Similar altitudes, a state-of-the-art ballfield and the fan bases for both the Rockies and the Isotopes were also considerations for coming to Albuquerque, the officials said.

Bridich said the Rockies were looking to do certain things and the move from Colorado Springs stemmed from business considerations.

The Rockies also announced Wednesday that the New Britain Rock Cats will be the Double-A franchise instead of the Tulsa Drillers.

MINNEAPOLIS — Hours after reversing course and benching Adrian Peterson indefinitely, Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said Wednesday that the team “made a mistake” in bringing back its superstar following his indictment on a felony child-abuse charge in Texas.

“We made a mistake and we need to get this right,” he said at a crowded news conference. “It is important to always listen to our fans and the community and our sponsors. Our goal is always to

make the decision we feel is right for the Minnesota Vikings. … We want to be sure we get this right.”

Wilf and his co-owner brother, Mark Wilf, announced their decision after midnight Wednesday after concluding it was best for the Vikings and for Peterson, their AllPro running back who has played his entire NFL career with Minnesota and is accused of injuring his 4-year-old son by spanking him with a wooden switch earlier this year.

Barry Bonds appeal heads back to court

By Ronald Blum The Associated Press

Nearly 11 years after Barry Bonds testified before a grand jury investigating the illegal distribution of performance-enhancing drugs, a group of judges will hear arguments Thursday on whether baseball’s career home-run leader should have his obstruction of justice conviction thrown out.

The 9th U.S. Barry Bonds Circuit Court of Appeals will convene an 11-judge panel in San Francisco to decide whether Bonds’ rambling response to a question about injectable substances was “corruptly” an attempt to “obstruct, influence or impede the grand jury proceeding … by knowingly giving material testimony that was intentionally evasive, false or misleading.”

“If I was Bonds’ lawyers, at this moment I would be really feeling pretty good that they’ve got a real shot of reversing the conviction,” said William B. Gould IV, a professor emeritus at Stanford Law School.

Bonds was indicted in 2007, and four years later a jury deadlocked on three counts charging him with making false statements when he denied receiving steroids and human growth hormone from trainer Greg Anderson and denied receiving injections from Anderson or his associates.

Bonds was convicted for his response when he was asked whether Anderson ever gave him “anything that required a syringe to inject yourself with?”

“That’s what keeps our friendship,” Bonds said during a meandering

FSU benches Winston for 1st half of Clemson game Punishment for making ‘offensive’ comments

By Kareem Copeland The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jameis Winston will be a spectator in the first half of Florida State’s showdown against Clemson Saturday after making “offensive and vulgar” comments about women — the latest embarrassment in a growing list of poor decisions off the field.

Florida State interim President Dr. Garnett S. Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox announced in a joint statement Wednesday that the quarterback also will undergo

internal discipline, but did not provide details of the punishment.

Several students tweeted Winston stood on campus Tuesday and shouted a lascivious Jameis comment about Winston female anatomy that may have derived from an Internet meme.

The 20-year-old Winston addressed his inappropriate comments before Wednesday’s practice at his weekly press conference, saying: “I have to tone it down.”

The Heisman Trophy winner has made similar comments after

previous incidents and Florida State seems to be growing less tolerant of his indiscretions.

While playing for the Florida State baseball team, he was suspended for three games and completed 20 hours of community service after acknowledging he stole $32 worth of crab legs from a local grocery store in April.

Before the football season, he said he had matured, learned what it takes to be a leader and understood that he needed to be more careful in his personal life.

The school president and athletic director admonished him Wednesday for doing just the opposite.

“As the university’s most visible ambassadors, student-athletes at Florida State are expected to uphold

at all times high standards of integrity and behavior that reflect well upon themselves, their families, coaches, teammates, the Department of Athletics and Florida State University,” their joint statement said.

“Student-athletes are expected to act in a way that reflects dignity and respect for others.”

Winston’s latest poor judgment comes when Florida State is under scrutiny.

The university is currently under investigation by the Department of Education for the way it handles reports of sexual assault, including a case involving Winston. The investigation was prompted by a complaint

R&A set for historic vote on women members

By Steve Douglas The Associated Press

The “Home of Golf” is about to find out if its doors are open to women.

On the same day Scotland votes on whether to become independent, a historic sporting decision will be made inside arguably the most famous building in golf.

The Royal & Ancient Golf Club in St. Andrews, an all-male bastion since its founding 260 years ago, votes Thursday whether to admit women members. For the first time, the R&A is allowing its 2,500 worldwide members to vote by proxy.

“I think it’s the right thing,” R&A club secretary Peter Dawson said dur-

The push for change comes from a society that perceives the R&A to have outdated views on equality. ing its spring meeting in May, “and I hope that R&A members do what’s right for golf.”

While a “No” decision is the marginal favorite in the independence referendum, the R&A vote should be more clear-cut at its annual Business Meeting at St. Andrews.

“We wouldn’t be entering this if we didn’t feel there was strong member support for it,” Dawson has said.

The club said a favorable vote

would take effect immediately.

“We would hope to have a meaningful number of women become members in a reasonable time scale,” the club said in a statement. “The first women members are likely to have made a significant contribution to the development of our sport.”

It has been just over two years since Augusta National — the club that hosts The Masters — announced it had invited women to join for the

first time. That ramped up the pressure on the R&A club, which, unlike Augusta, had a policy barring women from being members. Three all-male clubs are on the British Open rotation — Royal St. George’s, Royal Troon and Muirfield.

Dawson has said the R&A vote will have no bearing on whether the Open is played on those courses. Royal Troon is the 2016 host.

The push for change has come from outside golf, from a society that perceives the R&A to be out of touch and having outdated views on equality.

The issue of allowing female members has been on the R&A’s agenda for some time, Dawson says, but every

year that goes by without the club having women members is damaging to its image.

The Royal & Ancient has been in charge of the Rules of Golf and the British Open for years. Ten years ago, the club devolved administrative duties to a corporate structure that is called “The R&A,” of which Dawson is the chief executive. That group is in charge of the Rules of Golf and organizes The Open and other R&A championships.

It has female employees but its committee and board roles are populated by members of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, meaning there are currently no women in leadership roles.

PREP ROUNDUP

Prep shuts out ATC in district opener The New Mexican

Santa Fe Prep played for a lost teammate on Wednesday night.

Prep senior and captain Grace BarliS.F. Prep 6 ant went to the hospital ATC 0 last Friday night, and doctors discovered blood clots in her lungs. As a result, she will be out for the rest of the season.

The Blue Griffins rallied around Barliant and shut out Academy for Technology and the Classics 6-0 at Bren-

nand Field in their District 2A-AAAA opener.

“She’s the kid that goes to every single summer,” Prep head coach Stephanie Coppola said. “She’s been waiting for this senior season since she was in eighth grade. I think the girls rallied around that and I think they saw that they’re blessed to be able to be out there.”

Freshman Ariane Talou scored the first two goals for Prep (3-5 overall, 1-0 2A-AAAA) before Lynn Robey, Rachel Sidebottom and Abigail Stranahan added scores.

“We’re coming together and learning how to play as a team,” Coppola said. “The girls worked hard for those goals.”

Hilltoppers 25-15, 13-25, 25-21, 25-21.

“The first game was like clockwork,” Santa Fe head coach Sam Estrada said. “I was surprised with how good we did.”

Kayla Herrera led the offense with 17 kills and seven ace serves, but it was Alijah Ramirez’s defensive effort of 32 digs that stole the show.

“That’s a lot of digging,” Estrada said.

Isabella Christian-Padilla added 26 assists and three ace serves while Rayana Bonnell had four solo blocks in the winning effort. Los Alamos fell to 4-3.

Net: Father-daughter faceoff on Sept. 30 Continued from Page B-1 Española Valley for his sixth year, with oldest daughter Kristi by his side coaching the C-team. A 90-minute drive to the east resides another daughter, Karli, who is in her first year as the head coach at West Las Vegas.

Offering Karli support is brother Sean, who is a constant presence at practice and matches. He also would be wearing the coaching tag, if not for the fact that he is working on his master’s degree at New Mexico Highlands University.

It’s no coincidence that volleyball is the tie that binds the family together, although Damon feels that any sport would do that.

“I think one of the things that helps is when you have a mom and dad who enjoy the same things,” Damon said. “We are always together and like the same things, and I think your kids get that same love. But when Sean was playing baseball, we traveled everywhere when he was on club teams and going all over the place. I think we just like to be together and play and compete.”

But even the family dynamic has a team element that only a Salazar could define. “[Kristi] is the coordinator,” Karli said. “Me and my dad are more hardcore. My brother is the biggest supporter. He goes to all of our games. My mom is the voice of reason, I guess. She sometimes has to tell us that volleyball isn’t everything. I’m like, ‘No, Mom. You’re wrong,’ and she says, ‘Well, it’s not.’

I tell her, ‘That’s my primary paycheck. How could you tell me that?’ ” The irony is that Eva was a volleyball player at NMHU when she first met Damon in the late 1980s. He, along with a group of male students that

included former Pojoaque Valley head coach Brian Ainsworth, practiced against the team.

The couple spent their first few years together in Las Vegas, N.M., and started their family before moving back to Damon’s hometown — Española. Damon and Eva were a presence in the Española Valley Community Activities co-ed leagues, where they met current Santa Fe High head coach Sam Estrada, who was then coaching Española.

Estrada remembered all three kids being a constant presence at matches.

“Kristi was probably three or four, and just hanging out on the bleachers, jumping on and off and running around on the court,” Estrada said. “They all grew up on that sport.”

It wasn’t the only thing they did. Damon coached soccer, baseball and, yes, even basketball, but as the kids grew up, volleyball rose to the forefront.

When Kristi was in the fourth grade, her dad started a club volleyball team that included Amanda Strauss and Germayne Salazar. All three were a part

of Española’s most successful team, the 2006 squad that was runner-up in Class AAAA and coached under Estrada.

Karli also played under Estrada for one year before he resigned in 2008, but both of them still reverentially call him “Coach Sam.” “We’ve known him forever, so he’s always ‘Coach’ to me,” Kristi said. “When we go play him, I go, ‘Coach, coach.’

That’s just how I address him and I don’t think that will ever change. It’s just habit.”

Being called “coach” in the family is just habit, as well.

Damon believed his kids would become coaches one day, but he and Kristi both admit Karli’s path was the most obvious one.

Karli had a club team shirt that had the title stitched on it, as well as one while Kristi played on the varsity.

“We shared a room one time,” Kristi remembered, “and she’d get on the bed and I’d be on the floor and she’d tip balls at me. She told me, ‘I’m the reason you’re good at volleyball!’ ” Kristi admits Karli helped, but Kristi’s play helped her get a volleyball scholarship to New

Mexico State. She also played at NMHU. Karli also attends Highlands, where she is studying to become a teacher.

Karli got on the staff at West Las Vegas Middle School in 2012 before becoming C-team coach in 2013 under Mary Bustos. When Bustos died just a day before the state tournament last fall, Karli and fellow assistant Arissa Collins cocoached the Lady Dons.

When the opportunity to become head coach at West Las Vegas arrived in the spring, Karli applied for the job. Of course, she had a family that supported her.

“We talked long and hard about it,” Damon said. “I have a lot of confidence in her, but we were very cognizant of what it takes to run a volleyball program. She’s very mature for her age, and I know she is handling it.”

It helps that she has a dad and a sister to lean on for advice, but her coaching education didn’t end there. Karli said she has learned a lot from other coaches, from Estrada to Gary Maskaly (who coached the Lady Sundevils in 2008) to even her cheerleading coach when she did that as a kid.

“I’ve incorporated a lot of things from a lot of people,” Karli said.

While the Salazar coaching association is a great honor, there’s also the Salazar competitive spirit that will be tested on Sept. 30. That’s when Española entertains West Las Vegas in the first father-vs.-daughter matchup. Both coaches have firm belief their team will win, but Kristi identified the true winner in this family grudge match — Eva. “She’ll be happy either way,” Kristi said.

It sure feels like heaven — especially when you’re on the sidelines.

Isotopes: Dodgers end lengthy affiliation Continued from Page B-1 For Isotopes General Manager John Traub, the four-year contract offers stability for the franchise. He said the Isotopes are “in this for the long haul” and he wanted to do what was best for baseball fans in Albuquerque.

“If you look at the fan base, the stadium, the ownership, from the player development standpoint, it would be a very attractive situation,” he said. “It’s certainly great to be wanted.”

It was apparent the Dodgers did not feel the same away about the Isotopes, even

though it had a 37-year affiliation with the city from 1963-2000 before this second marriage. The Dodgers returned to Albuquerque in 2009, a much celebrated event considering that the then-Albuquerque Dukes were synonymous with the organization before the club moved to Portland, Ore., in 2001.

Rumors began swirling in August that the Dodgers had their eyes on moving its affiliation to the Oklahoma City RedHawks, and stories about Dodger ownership purchasing a stake in the team added fuel to the fire. That became a reality on Wednesday when the organization

announced the agreement.

It didn’t help that the Isotopes were embroiled in controversy throughout the season, starting with the infamous dugout fight between infielder Alex Guerrero and catcher Miguel Olivo in May that led to Olivo biting Guerrero’s ear. Olivo was subsequently released after that. Then came the brawl with the Reno Aces in July that led to 10 ejections, with five Isotopes later drawing suspensions from the Pacific Coast League.

Albuquerque finished the 2014 season on with a 62-80 record, its worst record the Isotopes’ 12-year history.

Bonds: Lawyers argue player was truthful Continued from Page B-1 reply. “I was a celebrity child, not just in baseball by my own instincts. I became a celebrity child with a famous father. I just don’t get into other people’s business because of my father’s situation, you see.”

A seven-time NL MVP, Bonds is the son of three-time All-Star Bobby Bonds.

Barry Bonds was sentenced in 2011 by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston to 30 days of home confinement, two years of probation, 250 hours of community service in youth-related activities and a $4,000 fine.

A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit upheld the conviction in a unanimous vote last year, but a majority of the court’s 28 participating judges voted to have the larger group rehear the appeal. A decision is not likely until 2015.

“Bonds tried to impede the grand jury’s investigation by falsely denying that he knew anything about his trainer Greg Anderson’s distribution of performance-enhancing drugs,” the government said in its appellate brief. “This conduct is plainly encompassed by the catchall provision of the

obstruction of justice statute.”

Bonds’ lawyers argue the answer that led to the conviction was truthful. They cite a unanimous 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case, Bronston v. U.S., that dealt with the perjury conviction of movie producer Samuel Bronston.

When asked at a bankruptcy hearing whether he had any Swiss bank accounts, Bronston replied that the company had an account in Zurich for about six months.

The Supreme Court voted 9-0 to reverse his conviction.

“Essentially what Bronston

was about is if in fact you don’t have a responsive answer, it’s up to the questioner to ask another question,” Sheldon H. Elsen, the lawyer who argued Bronston’s case before the Supreme Court, said this week.

“If a non-responsive answer can’t be evasive for a perjury charge, how can it be the basis for obstruction?”

The panel hearing the case this week includes Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, appointed by President Ronald Reagan, and Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt, appointed by President Jimmy Carter.

Santa Fe’s Parker to captain U.S. team in ITF championships U.S. men are not doing too well in world tennis standings.

The highest ranking American man is John Isner at number 16.

But among super senior men (60 and over), they’re at the top of the game.

The U.S. Tennis Association announced Wednesday that Jimmy Parker of Santa Fe will captain the U.S. team in the Jack Crawford Cup for men 70 and over at the International Tennis Federation Super-Seniors World Team Championships. The tournament will be played Oct. 13-18 in Antalya, Turkey.

The U.S. will enter the event as the defending champions in all six men’s groups: The Von Cramm Cup (60 and over); the Britannia Cup (65 and over), the Bitsy Grant Cup (75 and over), the Gardnar Mulloy Cup ( 80 and over), as well as the Jack Crawford Cup. Parker, a longtime club pro in Texas, has won well over 100 national championships in the U.S. and played against some of the greats of the game as an amateur. Now a tennis legend, he plays a dozen or so tournaments every year.

Peterson: Unlikely to return this season Continued from Page B-1 mission list, meaning he is off the active roster while he deals with his legal affairs. General manager Rick Spielman would not put a timeframe on when Peterson might be back.

“Until these legal matters are resolved, that he will remain on this exemption list,” he said.

A day-and-a-half earlier, the Vikings said Peterson would rejoin the team after missing Sunday’s loss to New England.

The backlash to that announcement was significant. The Vikings had at least one major sponsorship suspended.

Several prominent NFL advertisers, including Anheuser-Busch, expressed concern about the league’s recent off-the-field problems, which include the domestic violence case of former Ravens running back Ray Rice and the indictment of Peterson. The governor was critical. Fans were angry.

Castrol Motor Oil, Special Olympics Minnesota and Mylan Inc. all severed ties with Peterson and shoe giant suspended its sponsorship deal with Peterson as the Wilfs were speaking.

Twin Cities area Nike stores pulled Peterson’s jerseys from its shelves and the team canceled an appearance at a children’s home.

Mark Wilf dismissed the suggestion that Peterson was barred strictly because of sponsor concerns.

“Absolutely not,” he said.

“We value our partners, our sponsors, our community and especially our fans. In the end, it really is about getting it right.

We made a mistake.”

Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, said the decision was “the best possible outcome given the circumstances.”

“Adrian understands the gravity of the situation and this enables him to take care of his personal situation,” Dogra told The Associated Press. “We fully support Adrian and he looks forward to watching his teammates and coaches being suc-

cessful during his absence.”

The NFL Players Association said it had worked with Peterson and the team to resolve “this unique situation.

“Adrian Peterson made a decision to take a voluntary leave with pay to take care of his personal and legal issues,” the union said. “We support this decision and hope the best for him and his family.”

Peterson has an Oct. 8 court appearance scheduled in Montgomery County, outside of Houston, on a felony charge of injury to a child. Peterson has insisted he meant no harm and alluding to similar punishment he endured from his parents while growing up in Palestine, Texas.

Peterson hasn’t appeared publicly since the grand jury indictment, but in a statement this week he said he’s met with a psychologist and acknowledged there are “alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate.”

The case is expected to take several months to proceed through the court system, so the possibility of Peterson playing again in 2014 appears slim.

His future with the Vikings is another matter. He will turn 30 next February and will continue to carry a huge salary cap hit in 2015.

The Vikings held Peterson out of the 30-7 loss to New England on Sunday to let the situation simmer. Then on Monday they announced Peterson would rejoin the team and play this weekend at New Orleans.

But the Radisson hotel chain suspended its sponsorship with the Vikings and Papa John’s pizza considered doing the same.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, who spearheaded an effort to secure $477 million in public money to help build the team a new stadium, and Sen. Al Franken were among the many who called for the Vikings to reconsider their position. The governor praised the Vikings’ decision.

Winston: Remarks called ‘derogatory’ Continued from Page B-1 from a FSU student who says Winston assaulted her in 2012.

State Attorney Willie Meggs declined to press charges against Winston last fall.

A lawyer for the woman says the university is conducting its own investigation of that incident.

Winston has had other runins with police since enrolling at the university.

Police questioned Winston and other FSU players in November 2012 after 13 windows were broken at an apartment complex near Doak Campbell Stadium after an apparent BB gun battle. That same month, Winston and teammate Chris Casher were held at gunpoint by campus police for hunting squirrels. The two told police they were shooting squirrels with a pellet gun along a bike trail. Police were also called after a Burger King employee called to complain that Winston was stealing soda.

Winston was not arrested in any of those three incidents.

On Wednesday, the Heisman Trophy winner gave a statement in which apologized for the lewd comments.

“I just want to apologize to my university, my coaches and

my teammates. I’m not a ‘me’ person, but in that situation, it was a selfish act,” Winston said.

“That’s not how you do things.

I really want to apologize to my teammates because I have now made a selfish act for them.”

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher called Winston’s remarks about women “derogatory.”

“It’s not something we want or we’re indicative of and it’s not a good decision,” Fisher said. “It was something that has to be addressed.

“You can’t make certain statements that are derogatory or inflammatory in any way toward any person, race, gender,” said Fisher, whose topranked Seminoles host No. 22 Clemson on Saturday in an Atlantic Coast Conference showdown. “The statements in which you make are always going to be made more public than statements that other individuals make,” the coach said.

“And that’s just the nature of the business of who you are and what you are. That’s the situation it is and you have to understand that.”

Winston’s continued questionable behavior could not only affect his future NFL draft stock, but possibly his status as a student.

Rockies rout Dodgers, take 2 of 3 The Associated Press

DENVER — Justin Morneau tied a season high with six RBIs, including five as part of an eight-run Rockies 16 first inning against Dodgers 2 spot starter Carlos Frias, and the Colorado Rockies routed the NL Westleading Los Angeles Dodgers 16-2 on Wednesday.

Morneau hit a three-run homer and a two-run single in the opening frame as the lastplace Rockies chased Frias (0-1) from the game after two outs.

Morneau and Carlos Gonzalez are the only Rockies players to drive in five runs in an inning.

Charlie Blackmon went 5 for 5, including a solo homer, as the Rockies took two of three from the Dodgers. Los Angeles began the day with a threegame division lead over San Francisco.

Morneau had three hits and a sacrifice fly, raising his average to .320 and leaping over Pittsburgh’s Josh Harrison for the NL batting lead.

CARDINALS 2, BREWERS 0 In St. Louis, Adam Wainwright posted his 19th win, pitching a shutout as the Cardinals beat Milwaukee to hold their 2½-game edge in the NL Central.

Wainwright (19-9) worked around seven hits and tied for the major league lead in wins and shutouts.

St. Louis has won four of five and kept its advantage over second-place Pittsburgh.

Milwaukee dropped 2½ games behind the Pirates for the second NL wild-card spot.

CUBS 3, REDS 1 In Chicago, Kyle Hendricks kept up his impressive rookie season, pitching seven strong innings as the Cubs beat Cincinnati for a sweep.

Chris Valaika, Ryan Kalish and Luis Valbuena each had a run-scoring hit as the Cubs won their third straight. They improved to 38-36 at Wrigley Field despite being 16 games under .500 overall.

The Reds have dropped four in a row overall. They scored just one run in the three-game series against the Cubs, and were held to one hit in a shutout loss Tuesday night.

A final fling before fall

T

he times, they are a changin’.

And so are the leaves. Soon enough, anyway.

Look closely and you can just barely make out a few spots of mismatched color way up in the mountains. The deep, lush green that has dominated our rugged terrain since the spring is slowly, gradually starting to take on a different hue.

Like the shorter daytime hours and the onset of cool evenings, it’s a rite of passage that tells us it’s time to embrace the outdoors one final time before Old Man Winter moves in.

Within a matter of weeks, the mammoth aspen groves that dot our national forest lands will transform into vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red.

The peak for fall foliage is expected to come in the first week or two of October, but some experts say that the lingering affects of the ongoing drought are combining with early frosts to usher in earlier than expected changes in some parts. Forests that should be green for another week or two are already starting to change.

“There are a few places that are already starting to get some color,” said Kathy DeLucas, public relations specialist with Carson National Forest. “Not many, but they’re out there.”

One of five national forests in New Mexico — Santa Fe, Gila, Cibola and Lincoln being the others — Carson has some truly breathtaking hikes in which visitors can take in miles of colored terrain. It’s those hikes that give people of all ages the opportunity to see the foliage up close and personal.

DeLucas said only the highest elevations are affected right now, but there are some places down within city limits in some Northern New Mexico towns that are already showing the unmistakable bridge between summer’s heat and winter’s chill.

Some states have anticipated an onslaught of inquiries from would-be hikers, which is why sites like one in New York already offer daily updates about where and when to look. New Mexico doesn’t have that quite yet, although a handful of websites will begin doing just that before the end of the month.

As is the case with most forest lands, access is free or it comes at the cost of an inexpensive day permit. In any case, the best course of action is to plan ahead and be aware of what areas are accessible.

Here’s a list of some of the more popular and easily accessed trails to take in the color: SANTA FE NATIONAL FOREST Dale Ball Trails: A can’t-miss

spot to take in the leaves, it has several trails that meander through the upper and lower elevations in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. If there’s a downside, it’s that the system is often among the busiest this side of Albuquerque, thanks to its proximity to the state’s largest population center.

In brief Gila ranger earns management honor Southwestern Regional Forester Cal Joyner on Sept. 9 presented Gila National Forest range staff member Aaron Baldridge of the Reserve Ranger District with the National Rangeland Management Award.

Baldridge was honored by the U.S. Forest Service for his achievement for on-the-ground management of rangelands. Baldridge was presented the award at the annual “Diversity Day” celebration on the Gila National Forest.

Baldridge was cited for his excellence in effective leadership and communication skills working with livestock grazing permittees, interdisciplinary resource specialists, local governments, congressional staffers and an assortment of forest users.

“Ranching has a long history in the United States and is an integral part of multiple use on National Forest System lands,” Baldridge said. “It is very rewarding to know that work done today will positively impact future generations.”

According to Joyner, “during post fire activities his leadership, ability and success working with permittees allowed for appropriate resource recovery of rangelands, and reduced impacts from livestock grazing activities.”

Big Tesuque Trail Run set for October It’s time to get the oxygen tanks out and running shoes on. The date for the annual Big Tesuque Trail Run is Oct. 4.

Beginning at the Aspen Vista Trailhead 14 miles northeast of Santa Fe, the run climbs from its initial altitude of 10,000 feet up to the radio towers on Tesuque Peak at 12,003 feet, then comes back down.

The entry fee is $25 ($22 for Santa Fe Striders members). This includes a free T-shirt.

Online registration is available through www.NewMexicoSports Online.com. The site offers race history, course layout, a regularly updated blog and race records.

Game Commission adopts new rules

An early frost and the lingering affects of the summer drought are bringing an early change to the leaves in some parts of the Santa Fe and Carson national forests. The peak of fall foliage isn’t expected for another three weeks, but the summer green is definitely starting to give way to the yellow, orange and red that make the mountains a popular hiking spot this time of year.

on the forest just below the ski area.

Ski Santa Fe: The parking is readily available, and so are the open groves of aspens. It’s a roughly 14-mile trek up the mountain from downtown Santa Fe, but the drive takes you through some truly ideal spots to pull off and take a quick look before proceeding up the road.

CARSON NATIONAL FOREST

Santa Barbara Campground: Near Peñasco, this wooded area is a popular spot to pitch a tent and roast a few marshmallows during the summer. Approaching the end of the camping season — this weekend, in fact — the area is still perfect to hop out and take a stroll through the lush forest all around.

Williams Lake: Not far from Taos Ski Valley, you can start at the Bavar-

ian Inn and take a manageable 2-mile hike to the lake. What the Dale Ball Trails are to Santa Fe, this particular trek is to Taos and the outlying area.

It is frequently visited, but once you stroll up to the lake shore, you’ll quickly understand why because the leaves’ reflections off the water make it worth the effort.

Taos Ski Valley: Hard to beat a trip to one of the most popular skiing spots in the Western U.S. The terrain is steep and perfect for a quick hike, and the ski valley itself has enough infrastructure to keep you happy should the need for a break hit you.

Of course, there are countless other spots to take a look-see; the highway between Chama and Taos, the sprawling wilderness in the Jemez, even the backside of the Sandias and bosque of Albuquerque have

their fair share of coloring.

If you go, now’s the time to plan because the color burst only lasts a few weeks. After that, get out the snow shovels because that’s not too far behind.

The New Mexico State Game Commission adopted new rules Aug. 28 that will provide hunters planning to enter the public drawings for 2015 season bighorn sheep licenses with more opportunities.

The Department of Game and Fish estimates it will make 36 bighorn ram licenses available in its annual public drawing, which is the most it has offered. Sixteen of those licenses will be for Rocky Mountain bighorn rams, while 20 will be for desert bighorn rams — an increase from one desert bighorn license in 2011.

The increased licenses are a collaboration among Game and Fish, the Wild Sheep Foundation, the Bureau of Land Management and private landowners.

The Department of Game and Fish will consolidate available licenses for Rocky Mountain rams, Rocky Mountain ewes, Rocky Mountain ewe archery and desert bighorn rams into four individual license pools. It is being done to comply with state statutes requiring that 84 percent be awarded to residents.

FOR THE BIRDS

Many varieties of warblers passing through Santa Fe area

By Anne Schmauss For The New Mexican

M

id-September is a great time to see a wide variety of birds as they swing through our

area.

Several species of warblers have been spotted in and around Santa Fe in the last few days. Yellow-rumped, McGillivray’s, yellow and Wilson’s warblers are just a few of the migrating warblers seen lately. One customer even spotted a Grace’s warbler last week.

Most of the warblers that we see are close to 5 inches in length and will sport at least a bit of yellow plumage. They are not seed eaters, so they won’t be found at seed feeders, but

The Wilson’s warbler is migrating through the Santa Fe area right now. COURTESY PHOTO

they can often be spotted flitting about dense vegetation looking for berries and insects. You can sometimes attract

warblers with suet or bark butter (spreadable suet). Keep an eye out for warblers in your shrubs. Sometimes you’ll even see them down near the ground picking at the underbrush for bugs. Don’t confuse warblers with the lesser goldfinch, another yellowish bird, but one which is seen commonly at your thistle feeder.

The yellow Wilson’s warbler is a favorite of mine, and the male is easily identified by the black cap on the top of his head. We’re not so lucky with the female, who is yellowish overall but lacks the distinct black cap. The Wilson’s is one bird that stays low in the undergrowth and often twitches its tail and flicks its wings. Sometimes this odd movement will be the first thing to draw your attention, so keep

your binoculars close at hand.

The Wilson’s warbler is only passing through. They nest as far south as the Pacific Northwest, all the way north to Alaska. They winter in Mexico. So, we only see them on the way up and back.

We’re continuing to see a larger than normal number of magpies in and around the Santa Fe area. These large black-and-white birds seem to be making quite a comeback.

This uptick in numbers may be because magpies were especially hard hit by West Nile virus a few years ago, and it has taken until now for them to recover. Whatever the reason, it’s great to continue seeing these exciting birds.

Hummingbird season is not quite

over. We’ll continue to see migrants moving through until the end of October or so. I suggest feeding them until you haven’t seen a hummingbird for at least two weeks. Feeding hummingbirds late does not keep them from migrating — in fact, it helps the stragglers, who are usually young hummingbirds, make their long journey south.

Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe and she loves to hear your bird stories. She is the author, with her sisters, of For the Birds: A Month by Month Guide to Attracting Birds to Your Backyard. Her newest book, Birdhouses of the World, came out last April.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE SMALLER PICKUPS GONE?

BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI

Dear Tom and Ray: Remember those Datsun mini-trucks that used to be around? Where did that class of trucks go? It seems like all you can get now is a full-size F-150 or similar. Is there anything like those old Japanese mini-trucks still on the market, or should I start shopping for a classic El IMPORTS

2010 TOYOTA Prius II 34k $18,841.

Call 505-216-3800.

Camino? What happened to the small trucks? -- Bryant RAY: People stopped buying them.

TOM: There still is a class of pickup truck smaller than the full-size F-150s, Silverados and Ram 1500s.

But they’re not much smaller.

RAY: Toyota still makes the Tacoma. Nissan still makes the Frontier. And Chevy is coming out with a redesigned Colorado for 2015.

TOM: But these are not mini-trucks. The trucks you remember were, essentially, compact Japanese cars with pickup-truck beds. They were cheap, lightweight and utilitarian.

RAY: Not enough people want that anymore. Pickup trucks have become large, luxury cars. The smallest two-door Toyota Tacoma these days, for example, is only about a foot and a half shorter than the smallest full-size Toyota Tundra.

And that Tacoma is still 208 inches long -- only a little shorter than the old Lincoln

Town Car land yachts that used to ply the airport terminals.

TOM: And even though you can order it with a four-cylinder engine and get a little better mileage than the full-size Tundra, it’s a cheaper and lesscapable vehicle. So unless maneuverability or parking is an issue, most buyers choose the larger, more comfortable, more up-todate Tundra.

RAY: The problem for manufacturers is that, once you design and build a smaller pickup truck and equip it with everything a modern vehicle needs to have, it doesn’t cost much less than a full-size pickup.

And the mileage isn’t that much better. So most people go for the bigger truck.

TOM: You should have a look at the Chevy Colorado when it comes out. That’ll be the most modern and up-todate of the less-than-full-size pickup trucks out there.

RAY: You can look at the Honda Ridgeline (which is more carlike than other

IMPORTS

pickups, but not much smaller).

TOM: You can look for a used Subaru Baja, which was the most recent El Caminoish vehicle that failed to sell and was killed o≠. It was last made in 2006.

RAY: You can look for a used Ford Explorer Sport Trac, which was last made in 2010. That’s a Ford Explorer with a pickup-truck bed.

Again, not small, but smaller than a full-size pickup.

TOM: You can look for a classic El Camino, or even a really old Toyota or Datsun truck, if you’re willing to give up safety and reliability.

RAY: But what you’re really lusting after just isn’t for sale anymore, Bryant. At least not in the United States.

TOM: If you’re willing to relocate, then we can help you out. Go to any third- or even second-world country, and you can have your pick of cheap, small pickup trucks. Just don’t look too closely at the body panels, because you may see the words “Hungry Man Dinner” stamped into them.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Sister is tired of her rude brother Dear Annie: I am a 55-year-old woman, the youngest of three.

When I married 30 years ago, we moved away for my husband’s job.

Over the years, we have returned for summer visits, especially since our daughters are close in age to their cousins.

We always have made it a priority to attend all important family events, often at great expense.

Last year, we traveled to my niece’s destination wedding. But I was hurt that my niece did not ask either of my daughters to be in her wedding party.

My brother and his wife (the parents of this bride) have ignored my younger daughter for the past couple of years. They don’t send her birthday or Christmas cards or presents, and totally skipped her recent college graduation. It’s not the money. They are quite wealthy and are generous with their own kids and friends. Meanwhile, I have given nice gifts to their children at every occasion.

I do not feel I can maintain a civil relationship with them any longer. My sister knows how self-absorbed my brother and his wife can be, but won’t intercede.

We are good, decent people, and I don’t understand their behavior.

They act like everything is fine and recently left a phone message for my birthday asking me to call them and let them know whether I’m coming to town. Should I speak my mind about this or let it go? — Frustrated and Furious Dear Frustrated: The reason your brother acts like everything is fine is because he believes it is.

He has no idea that he has hurt you. It is natural for you to be more sensitive to issues regarding your daughters than he is. This is not to excuse his lack of attention, only that we don’t believe it is deliberate, which means forgiveness is easier. Please talk to him without becoming angry. Gently explain that you are hurt when he completely ignores your children’s special occasions and makes you think he doesn’t care about them.

We hope he’ll try harder.

Dear Annie: Twice in the past month, I witnessed an older woman tumble from the top of a moving escalator all the way to

the bottom, as store employees raced to turn it off. In one incident, the shopper was accompanied by someone who could not stop her fall. In the other, the woman seemed confused before the accident, but refused to use the elevator. To complicate matters, her only identification was a receipt in her purse, so it took a while to find the man who had dropped her off.

If anyone has a balance problem, uses a cane or walker, has their arms full or is carrying a toddler, etc., please use the elevator instead of the escalator. The few extra minutes are well worth it in order to avoid a horrifying accident. And please be sure to carry proper identification, including names and numbers to call in case of an emergency. — Stunned Shopper in Shreveport, La. Dear Stunned: Too many people don’t realize (or won’t admit) they have a problem until something happens, and then, of course, it’s too late. People need to be able to hold onto the railing of an escalator and watch their step getting on and off. If you aren’t sure you can do this, please take the elevator. Better safe than sorry.

Dear Annie: My husband could have written the letter from “Heartbroken,” whose wife never had time for him when they were younger, and now he’s not interested.

I was a busy wife and mother and worked outside the home. I put everything before our relationship. We drifted apart and desperately needed couples counseling. We found the best therapist in our area, and she put us back on track. We just took a cross-country trip in an RV and have developed the most loving relationship we’ve had in 40 years. I hope they give it a shot. — J 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.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will enjoy letting others carry the ball for you.

The experience could prove to be enlightening for both them and you.
