Amid climate change, the plight of birds 50 New Mexico species will lose habitat due to warmer temperatures, more persistent drought, according to report

Federal report cites N.M. facilities as examples of widespread deficiencies

The Islamic State group released a video Saturday of the third beheading of a foreign hostage, a British aid worker. The execution was a clear message to Britain, a key ally of the United States as it builds an international coalition to target the militant group, which has made stunning advances across Syria and northern Iraq in recent months. The video shows the aid worker, David Cawthorne Haines, kneeling on a bare hill under the open sky, in a landscape that appears identical to where two American journalists were killed by the group in back-toback executions in the past month. In the moments before his death, the 44-year-old Haines is forced to read a script, in which he blames his country’s leaders for his killing. “I would like to declare that I hold you, David Cameron, entirely responsible for my execution,” he said, referring to Britain’s prime minister,

BLACK ROSY FINCH: A SPECIES AT RISK These images taken from an interactive map by the National Audubon Society show the winter range for the black rosy finch, above, which extends south to the Sandia Crest. The darker the color, the more favorable the climate conditions are for survival. The map shows the birds disappearing from New Mexico by 2080.

decade ago, clouds of little rosy finches would swoop down to feed at the top of the Sandia Crest overlooking Albuquerque. Birders would come from all over to see the rare birds that thrived in the high-mountain air and seldom ventured below 10,000 feet. But the birds, with their plumage of black, brown, gray and rose-colored feathers, have been appearing in fewer numbers in recent years. And as climate change brings warmer temperatures and more persistent drought, the finches are among 50 species of birds in New Mexico — from the Bullock’s oriole to the prairie falcon — that will see their summer and winter ranges decline or shift in the coming decades, according to a new report from the National Audubon Society. “As many as 1,000 finches would come at once like a school of fish,” said Albuquerque biologist Raymond VanBuskirk, who has been studying the rosy finches since he was 13. “They would feed frantically and then fly off.” Audubon bird scientists analyzed four decades of North American cli-

Three years ago, Harvard Business School asked thousands of its graduates, many of whom are leaders of America’s top companies, where their firms had decided to locate jobs in the previous year. The responses led the researchers to declare a “competitiveness problem” at home: HBS alumni reported 56 separate instances where they moved 1,000 or more U.S. jobs to foreign countries, zero cases of moving that many jobs in one block to America from abroad, and just four cases of creating that many new jobs in the United States. Three in four respondents said American competitiveness was falling. Harvard released a similar survey this week, which suggested executives aren’t as glum about American competitiveness as they once were; a majority of alums now say competitiveness is improving or treading water. Three years of economic growth and record corporate profits will do that for you. Companies don’t appear any more keen on American workers today, though. The Harvard grads are down

mate data and millions of bird records from the U.S. Geological Survey’s North American Breeding Bird Survey and the Audubon Christmas Bird Count to come up with their findings in the new report. The seven-year study looked at data for 588 bird species that live in or migrate across North America. Of those, 126 species face severe population declines by 2050, and 188 more species will be impacted by 2080. “The report is very significant because it represents new science and new modeling,” said Carol Beidleman, director of bird conservation for Audubon New Mexico. “In terms of findings, this study really brings to the fore that climate change is the number one threat facing birds.” In New Mexico, it isn’t just pretty songbirds and important pollinators like hummingbirds that will be hurt by climate change. The bright blue pinyon jays around Northern New Mexico will have a tough time finding a new place to live as the piñon forests they depend on for food and nesting disappear.

The nation’s nuclear weapons laboratories are woefully unprepared to respond to emergencies, from small radiation leaks to large-scale disasters like the 2011 Fukushima meltdown in Japan, according to a sweeping new federal study. The study, released this month by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, looked at 17 sites across the country over the last three years, including three in New Mexico — Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad and Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque. The report points to the three New Mexico sites as examples of various gaps in emergency readiness endemic throughout the nation’s nuclear defense system. The troubling assessment also comes as Energy and Defense department officials are considering sharply ramping up production of nuclear weapons components at Los Alamos and Sandia. Safety and regulatory problems at the nuclear facilities have been under a harsh spotlight in recent months after a drum containing radioactive

NATION&WORLD In brief

China tough on foreign reporters BEIJING — Conditions for foreign journalists working in China have gone from bad to worse over the past year, with the Chinese authorities increasingly seeking to influence coverage by intimidating reporters and their interview subjects, barring journalists from large portions of the country or withholding visas and blocking the websites of overseas news outlets, according to a report issued by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China. The report, the result of a survey among the organization’s 243 members, paints a portrait of mounting pressure on foreign journalists as the ruling Communist Party seeks to aggressively limit negative coverage abroad and punish news organizations and reporters who defy warnings to steer clear from so-called sensitive topics, such as the wealth accumulated by relatives of China’s top leaders. The report, released Friday, noted that conditions had worsened significantly since 2008, when the government relaxed restrictions on foreign correspondents during the approach to the Beijing Olympics.

Some experts believe Apple Pay, with its presence on millions of iPhones and its advanced security features, could be the service that leads to widespread adoption of the so-called mobile wallet.

Can Apple Pay lead the way to digital pay? Company’s contactless payment system faces safety scrutiny By Mae Anderson The Associated Press

NEW YORK pple wants the plastic credit card to become as rare as the paper check. On Tuesday, the company announced Apple Pay, a digital payment system that lets people pay for retail store purchases using their phones rather than cash or credit cards. The service, which will work both with iPhones and Apple’s new Watch, is backed by a host of big retailers, along with most major banks and credit card issuers, including Visa, MasterCard and American Express. So-called contactless payment isn’t new. Starbucks, McDonald’s, PayPal, Google and Square offer their own services, but only a small portion of customers use them. Some experts believe Apple Pay — with its presence on millions of iPhones and its advanced security features — could be the service that leads to widespread adoption of the digital wallet. Citi Investment Research analyst Mark May believes the sum total of mobile payments could grow from $1 billion in 2013 to $58.4 billion by 2017. Payment digitization paints an enticing vision of shopping’s future: Simply tap your device against a checkout screen and walk away with your new shoes. But despite the flashy Apple Pay launch, Apple faces challenges making that vision a reality. The company and other digital wallet providers must convince shoppers that the transactions are safe — especially in the wake of recent high-profile data breaches at Home Depot and Target. Meanwhile, the company must also make a case to retailers that it’s worth it for them to invest in new point-of-sale systems. Many U.S. merchants still aren’t sold on the idea. About 220,000 stores are set up to accept Apple Pay. That’s only 5.5 percent of the 3.6 million retail locations in the U.S., according to the National Retail Federation. The biggest U.S. retailers, including Wal-Mart and Best Buy, are not participating in Apple Pay. The main reason is cost. Each point-of-sale device, which uses something called near-field communication technology, costs hundreds of dollars, plus hours of worker training. And there’s been little customer demand for the systems. That may change now that Apple has entered the arena, says Gartner analyst Avivah Litan.

“There’s no doubt young people want to use phones to make payments, but they have to have a place to pay,” says Litan. She predicts bigger retailers will see how well Apple partners like McDonald’s do before they move into mobile payments. “If it goes well at other retailers, Wal-Mart and other companies may break down and start taking it,” Litan says. In countries such as Canada and the U.K., contactless point-of-sale systems are widespread, and as a result, such payments are far more common. In Canada, for instance, about 20 percent of transactions at registers processed by MasterCard are completed by contactless payment, according to MasterCard. “What you learn from that is when consumers start ‘tapping’ two or three times, they never go back to their old behavior at that merchant. … It’s just a much better experience,” says Ed McLaughlin, chief emerging payments officer at MasterCard. One of the strengths of Apple Pay is its security. Its system uses the company’s Touch ID fingerprint technology, a secure chip, and payments that require a one-time security code. That kind of security — similar to the chipand-pin credit card system used in Europe — would prevent the type of breaches that happened at Target and Home Depot. And it could be a compelling reason for retailers to adopt Apple Pay, Litan says. “If you get enough people using the service, it would cut down on retailers’ security costs, and that’s why over time it may really take off,” she says. Still, not everyone is convinced that swiping a credit or debit card is that much of an inconvenience in the first place. Bill Ready, head of next generation commerce at PayPal, points out that near-field communication has been around for 10 years without catching on. His vision of the mobile payment future is more akin to an “e-commerce style transaction happening in the physical world,” he says, citing the example of car-sharing service Uber, which works with PayPal to processes riders’ payments by way of a mobile phone app. “Someone is going to figure out how to make mobile payments easy and cheap and then we’re talking a real shift in consumer behavior,” says Gartner’s Litan.

Let’s start with the end. When it’s over — when you make it through the marathon that is Ken Burns’ beautiful, seven-part documentary The Roosevelts: An Intimate History, which begins Sunday night on PBS — you may find yourself with a lingering, nebulous grief. You’re sorry it’s over. You’re sorry they’re over. You’re sorry a certain expression of American ideals is, or often appears to be, completely over. My study habits haven’t improved since college; like an idiot, I put off watching all 14 hours of The Roosevelts until I absolutely had to watch them on a deadline binge this week. Yes, the entire series sat on my desk for most of the summer, while there was still plenty of time to savor it. When I emerged from my office for a break, midway through the amplified noise of World War I, a co-worker reminded me (spoiler alert) that all of the major players eventually die, so why bother watching the whole thing? Why not skip ahead or skim through most of it? Because I was absorbed. Within the first hour, The Roosevelts will probably have you hooked in a way that Burns and his collaborators haven’t quite achieved since 2007’s The War. Unlike the intimidating climb offered by National Parks or Prohibition, you easily glide through The Roosevelts’ sublimely constructed narrative arc. The series is among Burns’ best works. Thoroughly invested, I teared up every time one of the Roosevelts passed: when Theodore died in his sleep in January 1919, still entertaining a fantasy of a political comeback; when an ailing Franklin suffered a brain hemorrhage at his Warm Springs, Ga., retreat in April 1945; and finally when Eleanor, the best of the bunch, died peacefully in her bed in November 1962. I was also moved when they lost children, friends or parents. The Roosevelts delivers on its subtitle, drawing such a full and close portrait of the extended clan and their social and political circles that a viewer can’t help but feel connected to them, faults and all. The Roosevelts also leaves a viewer with another, more subtle kind of grief, a sense of loss about the world they inhabited and the country they helped sustain. It can’t be a mistake that Burns’ saga, straddling the century from Theodore’s birth to Eleanor’s death, provokes a sense of wonder about how, in the Roosevelts’ time, the United States outgrew a few of its inherent dysfunctions and managed to face its most dire crises. The series is airing just as the country seems least concerned about the common man, the fair shake and our shared well-being; we’re looking back at FDR while all that beautiful New Deal infrastructure now begs for upkeep; we’re looking back at Teddy while our magnificent West bakes dry in a sullied environment. When at last you turn the television off and return to the present, it’s tempting to wallow in embarrassment over how little our political leaders of either party accomplish now; how pathetic the whole game has become; the sorry ways in which we measure success. None of this is presented as such by the fastidiously objective Burns or the elegant and simple narration of the series, read by Peter Coyote and written by Geoffrey Ward. You just get there all on your own. Besides Coyote and Ward, the rest of the Ken Burns gang is on hand, too: Doris Kearns Goodwin, David McCullough, George Will and the usual panoply of historians supply necessary and trenchant shorthand; Paul Giamatti reads letters and speeches in the voice of Teddy Roosevelt; Edward Herrmann supplies his familiar patrician FDR tone; Meryl Streep, naturally, gives herself entirely to the task of becoming the voice of Eleanor. The photographic and motionpicture archives keep your eyes fixed on the screen; a viewer is tempted to reach for the smartphone only occasionally, usually to look up and confirm some startling fact or another. Much of The Roosevelts is obviously preoccupied with the enormous egos and capabilities that defined both Theodore (a Republican who was president from 1901 to 1909) and his fifth cousin Franklin (a Democrat who was president from 1933 to 1945). But, just as often, it’s a study in how everyday Americans responded to leaders they could believe in.

‘The Roosevelts’: An absorbing documentary By Hank Stuever

Renewed fighting flares in Ukraine LUHANSK, Ukraine — A convoy of more than 200 white trucks crossed the Russian border to deliver humanitarian aid to a battered Ukrainian city on Saturday, a move made without Kiev’s consent yet met with silence by Ukraine’s top leaders. “Early in the morning, we entered Ukraine to bring aid to Luhansk,” said Yury Stepanov, a Russian who was overseeing the convoy. “We came in around 215 vehicles,” he added, as workers unloaded boxes into a local warehouse. The much-needed aid arrived as fighting flared again between pro-Russian rebels and government forces, further imperiling an already fragile cease-fire in the region. On Saturday, Ukraine’s military operation in the east said it had repelled a rebel attack on the government-held airport of Donetsk, which came under artillery fire from rebel positions late on Friday. Ukrainian authorities also admitted for the first time since the cease-fire started Sept. 5 that they have inflicted casualties on the rebel side. Continuous rocket fire could be heard overnight in Donetsk. A statement on the city council website said that shells hit residential buildings near the airport, although no casualties were reported.

Pa. police launch manhunt for shooter 1 trooper dead, other injured in ‘ambush’ near barracks By Michael Rubinkam

BLOOMING GROVE, Pa. — A late-night ambush outside a state police barracks in Pennsylvania’s rural northeastern corner left one trooper dead and another critically wounded, and authorities scoured the densely wooded countryside and beyond on Saturday looking for the shooter or shooters. State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said a “very dangerous, armed criminal” eluded quick capture. “This attack was an ambush. Our troopers were … shot without warning and really had no chance to defend themselves,” Noonan told reporters Saturday afternoon. “It’s a cowardly attack. It’s an attack upon all of us in society.” The dead lawman was identified as Cpl. Bryon Dickson of Dunmore, a seven-year veteran who had transferred to the region from the Philadelphia barracks several months ago. Trooper Alex Douglass underwent surgery and was in critical but stable condition, Noonan said. He provided few details on the shooting but said the attack was directed at state police. Law enforcement installations throughout eastern Pennsylvania were put on high alert. “It has touched us to the core that such a thing could happen,” Noonan said. The slain trooper was married with two young sons. He was described by friends as devoted to work and family. “They were a committed couple,” Melissa Contorno, a friend of Dickson’s wife, told The [Scranton] Times-Tribune. “They were raising a beautiful young family. It’s not fair.” Police interviewed a man they called a “person of interest,” but Noonan said authorities are talking to hundreds of peo-

ple as part of the investigation. He stressed the man is not a suspect. The troopers were ambushed around 10:50 p.m. Friday as one of them was leaving the barracks in Blooming Grove, Pike County, and another was arriving. The barracks is in a wooded area, surrounded by state game lands. Law enforcement officials from across the region, including New York and New Jersey, descended on the Pocono Mountains to help with the search on foot and by helicopter. “There has been exhaustive search conducted by hundreds of members of law enforcement,” said Lt. Colonel George Bivens. “We have canvassed the wooded areas, neighborhoods. We are convinced this individual is no longer in that immediate area.” Several roads around the barracks, including parts of Interstate 84, were closed Saturday. Blooming Grove is a township of about 4,000 people about 35 miles east of Scranton. Trooper Adam Reed, a state police spokesman, said the barracks covers

most of Pike County, which runs along the Delaware River and borders New Jersey and New York. “There’s a lot of rural area up where they patrol,” he said. “As the primary police force in the county, they’re going to respond to anything and everything.” Gov. Tom Corbett ordered all Pennsylvania flags at state facilities to fly at half-staff and said he was praying for the slain trooper’s family as well as the injured colleague. He canceled all campaign appearances for the day. “The incident in Blooming Grove shows, once again, that our first responders face constant danger in order that the rest of us may live in peace and safety,” Corbett said in a statement. “Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson and Trooper Alex T. Douglass are heroes who selflessly put their lives on the line every day for their fellow Pennsylvanians,” said Pennsylvania State Troopers Association President Joseph Kovel.

ROCHESTER, N.H. — The parents of a New Hampshire journalist slain by Islamic extremists in Syria said Friday that they never knew what the U.S. government was doing to help their son and were told they could be prosecuted if they tried to raise money for a ransom. James Foley was kidnapped in 2012. He was beheaded by members of the Islamic State militant group, a killing depicted in an Internet video posted Aug. 19. Two weeks later, another video showed the slaying of another journalist, Steven Sotloff. John and Diane Foley told WMUR-TV on Friday that they didn’t know what the government was doing to help their son, in the 19 months that he was held hostage. “It was always, ‘Your son’s situation is the highest priority. We’re doing everything we possibly can, and we can’t tell you,’ ” John Foley said. They said they were told they could be prosecuted if they paid a ransom but

ignored the warning and raised pledges in the event that it might be worth it. “We couldn’t just do nothing. If they weren’t going to rescue them, we couldn’t get them home, what do you do? Leave your kid in jail to get beaten? No way, you know?” said John Foley. At the State Department press briefing Friday, deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf responded to questions on the Foley family’s criticism, saying the agency had a close relationship with the family. “We did everything we could to assist them during this awful time,” she said. Harf said the department never threatened to prosecute the Foleys, but rather informed them of laws regarding ransom. “It’s part of our job to help families in these horrible situations understand America’s laws about paying ransom to terrorists,” Harf said. The Foleys say now they want to help other families of Americans hostages and American journalists reporting from conflict zones and promote education for urban youth. On Friday they also announced the James W. Foley Legacy Fund. For information, visit www.jamesfoleyfund.org or write to The James W. Foley Legacy Fund, P.O. Box 1678, Rochester, NH 03867.

Where Community Begins S

ince 2006, CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center has partnered with Homewise to help employees own a home in Santa Fe. The hospital provides up to $4,000 in down payment assistance for employees who qualify.

In the past eight years, 87 CHRISTUS St. Vincent employees have purchased homes in Santa Fe through the Homewise partnership. Maureen Gensher, Clinical Nurse Manager, is one of these new homeowners.

Living close to work is valuable to Maureen, not just for a shorter commute, but because it provides her and her husband with the opportunity to connect with their community. “We are close to our neighbors,” Maureen said. “In the afternoons, we sit outside on our front patio and they stop buy and say hello.” Many of their neighbors often come to their home for dinner.

For Maureen and her family, community begins at home. “I’ve always lived in the community where I work,” she said. Maureen said she wanted to live in Santa Fe to be close to her children and grandchildren.

That, along with being close to the hospital, were the top priorities when Maureen and Jim, her husband, started their home search. Finding affordable options presented a challenge until they found the Homewise Homes Community, Old Las Vegas Place. The development is home to 50 homeowners, including 15 CHRISTUS St. Vincent employees. There are also teachers, local government employees, and other healthcare professionals.

“Sometimes we even pull each other’s weeds,” said Jim. “It feels like family. We feel comfortable getting to know our neighbors. In the afternoons we all watch our children and grandchildren get off the bus after school together.”

“I love my home,” Maureen said. “It’s provided me the opportunity to be closer to my family and my neighbors. It’s a special community."

Execs: Few involved in K-12 education

Birds: Experts already seeing decline u In California, “pop-up” wetlands offer birds refuge in drought. PAGE C-5

Continued from Page A-1 disappearing around Santa Fe County will lose more than 75 percent of its breeding range across North America. Game birds are also among those that stand to lose a big chunk of their current habitat, according to the Audubon report. Ornithologists believe the wild turkey will lose almost half its summer range and more than 85 percent of its winter range. Mallard ducks will lose 75 percent of their summer habitat, and ring-necked ducks will lose 93 percent. VanBuskirk is already seeing the decline of the finches at Sandia Crest and songbirds at other locations. He figures that lately, less than a couple of hundred finches have been coming to the Sandia feeders. “What we’ve been noticing is the populations are getting smaller and smaller and smaller,” said VanBuskirk, 24, who is president of the Central New Mexico Audubon Society. “I don’t think it is representative of a decline in successful breeding or decline in numbers generally,” He said. “It is that our winters are much warmer, we don’t get as much snow as we used to or as much precipitation as before.” VanBuskirk noted that the Audubon report only looks at the changes in climate space — temperature, precipitation and similar factors that create the most hospitable conditions for each bird species. The study doesn’t account for other factors that further threaten a bird species’ survival, such as oil and grass drilling, overgrazing and wildfires. VanBuskirk is already seeing a decline in migrant bird and wintering birds at another site he’s monitored for more than a decade in the Rio Grande bosque. “We do see this downward trend, mostly in songbirds like warblers, flycatchers, some sparrows, Bewick’s wrens and bluebirds,” he said. “It is not just climate change and global warming. It may also be tied to drought, energy development, feral cat attacks and habitat loss here and in the wintering grounds in Central and South America.” Declines in bird populations could eventually affect New Mexico’s bottom line and rural businesses.

by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bird watchers contribute more than $30 billion to the nation’s economy a year through travel and equipment purchases. Some habitats and bird species could be benefiting from the shift in precipitation patterns, at least temporarily. A report issued by U.S. Committee of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative this month shows that some bird species dependent on wetlands are at historically high levels, including mallards, gadwalls, blue-winged teals and northern shovelers. The population estimates are based on annual breeding-bird surveys in the United States and Canada. Ducks Unlimited chief scientist Dr. Scott Yaich said some of the gains can be attributed to wetland conservation efforts. Still, he said, there’s cause for concern over the long haul. “Two decades of unprecedented above-average rainfall in many key breeding areas are in large part responsible for duck population increases that are masking the loss of wetland habitats documented by other studies,” Yaich said in a statement. “We continue to be very concerned about the accelerating loss of wetlands in important areas for birds and what that will mean when we inevitably enter another dry period.” The North American Bird Conservation report says seasonal wetlands in the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region in the North Central United States declined by 74,340 acres between 1997 and 2009. The region is a critical breeding area for waterfowl. VanBuskirk said many people still are confused about the difference between

climate change and weather. Weather is the existing conditions of storms, temperature, precipitation, wind and other phenomena in a given day or week. Climate change involves weather patterns over long periods of time. New Mexico, for example, emerged from severe drought conditions with a strong monsoon pattern in August. But the state is still suffering a water deficit in its forests and aquifers that’s resulted from several consecutive dry years. Many scientists believe it is too late to stop climate change. But it is possible to slow the rate of climate change and give wildlife species more time to adapt. “It is sort of like a car crash. Would you rather get in a car crash at 100 miles per hour or slow it down to 50 miles per hour?” VanBuskirk asked. “By slowing climate change, we give birds more time to move to areas they can thrive.” Beidleman said climate change causes the timing of life cycle events to shift for birds, such as feeding, breeding, nesting and migrating. “If you have a bird species like hummingbirds that depends on nectar and there are changes in when those plants flower, what does that mean for the birds?” she asked. “Those things get disconnected, and everything the bird needs to survive will be there.” Audubon scientists are now working with the data modeled in the report to identify “strongholds,” places where the most threatened bird species have the best chance for survival with a bit of help from humans. “If we get the message out to the millions of people who love birds, then as a nation we can slow these warming rates and have a very, very different end result at the end of this century,” he said. VanBuskirk said people can do simple things at home to protect birds, such as using fewer pesticides, keeping cats indoors, planting native vegetation and providing water, food and nest boxes. “I would love not to have to say to my kids, ‘When I was your age, I was running this amazing project with rosy finches, but unfortunately we couldn’t come together to save that wonderful species.’ ” Contact Staci Matlock at 986-3055 or smatlock@sfnewmexican.com.

Continued from Page A-1 on American education and on workers’ skill sets, but they admit they’re just not really engaged in improving either area. Three-quarters said their firms would rather invest in new technology than hire new employees. More than twothirds said they’d rather rely on vendors for work that can be outsourced, as opposed to adding their own staff. A plurality said they expected to be less able to pay high wages and benefits to American workers. The researchers who conducted the study call that a failure on the part of big American business. They say the market will eventually force companies to correct course and invest in what they call the “commons” of America’s workforce. “We think this mismatch is, at some fundamental sense, unsustainable,” Michael Porter, one of the professors behind the studies, said in an interview this week. But what if it’s not? Why, if you were a multinational corporation, would you feel a need to correct that mismatch? Why would you invest in American workers? Why would you create a job here? At what point does it become a rational business decision for American companies to write off most Americans? The latest Harvard Business School survey shows little optimism for the fate of the U.S. workforce among corporate leaders — and relatively little effort afoot to improve the situation. Respondents see “skilled labor” as an American strength, but a deteriorating one. They call K-12 education a weakness. Yet the report cites an estimate that corporate spending on worker training fell by a third, as a share of GDP, from 2000 to 2012. U.S. managers, it says, have developed hiring techniques that discourage skill development among workers. In elementary-, middle- and highschool classrooms, business leaders are largely absent: Only 7 percent of respondents said their companies were deeply involved in public education; 62 percent said they were “barely or not at all involved.” Harvard researchers have worried about this tension between corporate and national interests for a while. Last year’s report warned that the nation was on a course where “business leaders pursue their narrow, short-run interests and free-ride off others’ investments in the business commons. The U.S. business environment deteriorates, leading business to leave America and society not to trust business. As distrust grows, government enacts antibusiness policies, companies reduce U.S. activities further, and distrust deepens.” Surely, though, business leaders will find a way to push

the nation to a different path, because the alternative could devastate the country. At least, that’s what the researchers are banking on. “High productivity without jobs — and without jobs at good wages — doesn’t build a future,” Rosabeth Moss Kanter, one of the co-authors of the 2013 report, said in an interview last year. Porter said this week that three forces will drive business leaders to change: They need skilled workers. They need U.S. workers to earn enough money to buy what they’re selling. And they need workers to support “pro-business” policies in government, which, he says, is less and less the case. You could imagine a scenario where companies don’t need any of those things with the urgency they once did. In one of the Harvard studies, alums cited skills as a reason to outsource workers just as often as they cited them as a reason to create jobs here. When it comes to policies that businesses say they want, such as simplifying the tax code and reducing regulations, large companies might have less incentive to push them through than you’d think. That’s because — as a study out this week for the National Association of Manufacturers concludes — it costs large firms less per worker to comply with regulations and file their taxes than it does for smaller businesses. This is the pessimistic scenario. For a more optimistic one, look inside one more report out this week, from the Progressive Policy Institute. It lists the 25 companies that invested the most in capital improvements in America last year, led by AT&T and Verizon. Most of the companies on the list come from the telecommunications sector, the energy sector or the tech sector — all areas where American minds have engineered big breakthroughs in recent years. “The investments have followed the innovations,” one of the report authors, Michael Mandel, said. Jobs, he added, have followed the investments. So if you spur more innovation, you’ll spur more jobs. Innovation is a thing the Harvard Business School alums think America still does really, really well. They love the country’s universities and its entrepreneurship. You could read that hopefully, for the longterm prospects of American job creation. Or you could wonder why a nation that’s always prided itself on innovation now finds itself in what Mandel calls an “investment drought,” where capital spending remains below historical trend levels. You could wonder whether the innovators who run big American firms already have one eye on the door to other markets, other economies, other workers.

Labs: Sandia claimed to correct response deficiencies, but didn’t Continued from Page A-1 waste from Los Alamos burst in an underground cavern at WIPP where it was stored. The Feb. 14 accident exposed more than 20 workers to radiation and shut down shipments of waste to the nation’s only underground nuclear waste repository. The rupture came just days after a truck caught fire at the facility. The Sept. 2 report to U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz represents the first of its kind in 15 years. It draws on emergency response lessons learned from disasters such as the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the earthquake-triggered meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station to point out deficiencies in emergency preparedness at American nuclear facilities. “DOE has not comprehensively and consistently demonstrated its ability to protect the worker and the public in the event of an emergency,” the report said. Such shortfalls, it added, were “clearly evidenced by the truck fire and radioactive material release events at WIPP.” The cause of the chemical reaction that triggered the release at WIPP remains under investigation. A report issued in April by the Department of Energy’s Accident Investigation Board documented a long list of emergency readiness shortcomings. The accident investigation identified weaknesses in WIPP’s response, beginning with the reluctance of personnel to acknowledge the first signs of the radiation release. Investigators

blamed inadequate safety training and emergency planning and lax Energy Department oversight for a series of missteps throughout the 10-hour initial reaction to the event. “Many of the site-specific issues noted at WIPP are prevalent at other sites with defense nuclear facilities,” the safety board said in its new assessment. Emergency planners at the lab in Los Alamos erred by establishing response plans based on worst-case scenarios and limiting readiness for less catastrophic but still dangerous circumstances, according to the report. “When decision makers know that the release is less severe than the worst case accident, they may be reluctant to implement conservative protection actions, particularly those that involve the public,” the report said. Blind spots at LANL created by myopic planning for only the worst disasters “would not lead to the initiation of protective actions for accidents of a lesser degree,” the assessment found. The report identified similar deficiencies at Sandia. Throughout the national nuclear weapons complex, emergency action plans “were too generic to be effective,” according to the report. Last year, the safety board reviewed hazards and threats considered during emergency planning at Sandia National Laboratories and found them to be incomplete, a shortcoming shared at WIPP that the radiation leak there exposed, according to the report. Emergency readiness drills at Sandia also earned low marks in the

assessment. “The drills involving facility personnel are only evacuation drills and are essentially the equivalent of fire drills,” the report said. Assessors further criticized Sandia for not conducting simulated emergency exercises at all of the on-site facilities. “At [Sandia National Laboratories], the staff team was particularly concerned that emergency management personnel are not scheduling drills and exercises that address the different types of hazards and accident scenarios possible at its nuclear facility,” the report said. “The drills and exercises should train and test the various elements of their capability for responding to radiological hazards and scenarios.” During a review of safety at Sandia last year, a federal assessment team revisited findings from a 2009 safety report that identified poor execution of emergency plans by response personnel. Assessors blamed poorly drafted emergency response procedures for the weaknesses. “The staff found them to be of poor quality and difficult to implement,” according to the report. Sandia responded to the finding by reporting that it had corrected the deficiencies, but the federal assessors found that claim to be untrue. “The staff team found that the original problems … still existed,” according to the report. “[Sandia National Laboratories] did not address the implications of the systemic program weaknesses identified.”

Oversight of contractors’ emergency readiness also proved to be weak at Sandia and WIPP, according to the report. “Based on its review of numerous contractor assessment reports, the staff team observed that many of the assessments were not effective at identifying problems and weaknesses with their programs,” the report said. After reviewing a draft copy of the report last month, Moniz vowed to fix the most disturbing deficiencies within a year. “DOE agrees that actions are needed to improve emergency preparedness and response capabilities at its defense nuclear facilities,” Moniz wrote in a letter to the safety board. A Los Alamos spokesman declined to comment about the report’s findings, deferring to Moniz’s letter. The report comes as federal officials are actively seeking to step up production of components to replace aging bomb parts in the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. Los Alamos stands to significantly boost production of plutonium pits, the small nuclear triggers that detonate fullscale weapons. Congressional budget documents outline a plan to produce up to 80 triggers annually at Los Alamos within 15 years. In the quarter-century since the Cold War ended, no more than 11 have been built in a single year. Plutonium Facility 4 at Los Alamos, a 36-year-old building on a seismically active fault with structural vulnerabilities that prompted the lab to close it more than a year ago, would be home

to the stepped-up pit production. The building needs extensive modifications to safely house the 1,760 grams of plutonium required for expanded pit production, according to a recent Congressional Research Service report. Currently, it safely holds up to 26 grams of plutonium. “Progress has been made over the summer toward resuming activities in PF-4, and we continue to work on resuming the remaining activities as quickly and safely as possible,” said LANL spokesman Kevin Roark. With an eye on safety improvements to the building “that supports a long-term plutonium mission at the laboratory,” Los Alamos wants to tackle the new campaign as soon as possible, he said. Sandia aims to ramp up its production of replacement components for nuclear weapons as well. Last year, Sandia produced about 600 neutron generators that prime nuclear weapons triggers for detonation. Within two years, the National Nuclear Safety Administration expects a 50 percent increase in production of neutron generators at Sandia to 900 per year, according to a recent report by the Department of Energy’s Office of the Inspector General. “We’re confident we can do it,” Sandia spokesman Jim Danneskiold said. “ … This is a fairly big increase in production, and Sandia is aware it’s a big increase.” Contact Patrick Malone at 986-3017 or pmalone@sfnewmexican.com.

Hostage: Aid worker taken 19 months ago Continued from Page A-1 David Cameron. “You entered voluntarily into a coalition with the United States against the Islamic State. Unfortunately, it is we the British public that in the end will pay the price for our Parliament’s selfish decisions.” The video ends with the black-clad executioner, who was speaking in English with what sounded like a British accent, identifying their next victim as Alan Henning, another British citizen. SITE Intelligence, which tracks jihadist groups, said the executioner appeared to be the same man who killed the American hostages. President Barack Obama, in a statement released Saturday, said the United States strongly condemned “the barbaric murder” of Haines. “We will work with the United Kingdom and a broad coalition of nations from the region and around the world to bring the perpetrators of this outrageous act to justice,” he said. The beheading of Haines puts pressure on Cameron’s government, a member of a core coalition of nations announced as NATO leaders met in Wales this month and sought to devise a strategy to address the growing threat from the Islamic State, including plans to strengthen allies on the ground in Iraq and Syria and conduct airstrikes against the militants. Obama last week announced a major expansion of the military campaign against the Islamic State, including airstrikes against the group in Syria. The beheadings of the two Americans, James Foley on Aug. 19 and Steven J. Sotloff on Sept. 2, followed the start of a campaign of airstrikes against Islamic State positions in Iraq. The group is holding Henning and another British citizen, as well as two other American aid workers. Their families have asked the news media not to disclose their names, after the Islamic State warned that the hostages would die if relatives made their identities public. Cameron confirmed Haines’ death in a statement after the British Foreign Office had said earlier that it was “working urgently to verify the video.” “This is a despicable and appalling murder of an innocent aid worker. It is an act of pure evil,” Cameron said, adding that “my heart goes out to the family of David Haines who have shown extraordinary courage and fortitude throughout this ordeal.” “We will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes.” Britain and the United States are among the only nations in the world that have held to a hard-line, no-concessions policy when dealing with kidnappings by terrorist groups. Until this year, the Islamic State was holding close to two dozen foreigners in the same jail where Haines was imprisoned near the Syrian town of Raqqa. His European cellmates were released for ransom, according to one of the hostages held alongside him who was freed after his government paid a ransom. Haines, who had a military background, was kidnapped 19 months ago in northern Syria and was held alongside an Italian co-worker, Federico Motka. Both men worked for ACTED, a French aid group, and had traveled to Syria during the country’s horrific civil war. Their fates diverged based on their countries’ policies: Motka

was released in May, one of 15 Europeans released from the same Islamic State-run jail for a ransom, according to a person familiar with the hostages’ detention and release. Cameron this month ruled out paying a ransom for Haines. “It’s a desperately difficult situation,” he told Sky News. “We don’t pay ransoms to terrorists when they kidnap our citizens.” The British news media respected a strict blackout, not revealing that Haines, a father of two from Perth, Scotland, was missing until the video of Sotloff’s execution was released on Sept. 2, in which he is named as the next to be killed. Haines had been working as a security consultant for ACTED when he was captured in a refugee camp in Atmeh in northern Syria. On his LinkedIn profile, he wrote that he had 23 years of “working experience in private, NGO and military environments,” referring to nongovernmental organizations.

That Yemen affiliate, alQaida in the Arabian Peninsula has been able to place three bombs on U.S.-bound airliners, though none has succeeded in downing the aircraft. “The group’s repeated efforts to conceal explosive devices to destroy aircraft demonstrate its continued pursuit of high-profile attacks against the West, its increasing awareness of Western security procedures and its efforts to adapt to those procedures that we adopt,” Nicholas Rasmussen, deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center, recently told a Senate panel.

James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, first disclosed during a Senate hearing in January that a group of core al-Qaida militants from Afghanistan and Pakistan was plotting attacks against the West in Syria. But the group’s name, Khorasan, or its links to al-Qaida’s Yemen affiliate, which is considered the most dangerous terrorist threat to the U.S., have not previously been disclosed. Many U.S. officials interviewed for this story would not be quoted by name talking about what they said was highly classified intelligence. Some lawmakers who have been briefed on the Khorasan group threat were willing to discuss it in general terms. The CIA refused to confirm the group’s name or any details in this story.

As the hunt for Thompson and the court fights go on, so does the new expedition to the Central America. Since April, Florida-based Odyssey Marine Exploration has brought up millions of dollars in gold and silver bars and coins from the shipwreck. That work will continue indefinitely, an Odyssey spokeswoman says. The operation is being directed by Ira Kane, a courtappointed receiver over two of Thompson’s companies. Kane will get more than 50 percent of the recovered treasure, to be disbursed in part to Thompson’s investors. “Remember, only 5 percent of this ship was excavated,” Kane told The Associated Press in March. As to where Thompson, now 62, and his assistant might be, theories abound. Thompson’s family — he has three grown children, three siblings and a 93-year-old mother — just hope he is enjoying being free, says Milt Butterworth, his brother-in-law. “The sadness for me is that I don’t have him and the family doesn’t have him, but the happiness for me is that he doesn’t have to worry about this anymore.”

investors still hadn’t been paid. Two sued — a now-deceased investment firm president who put in some $250,000 and the Dispatch Printing Co., which publishes The Columbus Dispatch newspaper and had invested about $1 million. The following year, nine members of Thompson’s crew also sued him, saying they also had been promised some proceeds. A new legal mess had begun. Thompson’s personal life had suffered, as well. His father died months after he found the gold. And his obsession with the treasure contributed to his divorce in 1991, friends and family say. In 2006, Thompson went into seclusion, moving into a mansion called Gracewood in Vero Beach, Fla. He grew increasingly reclusive, and his behavior turned bizarre. Thompson refused to use his real name on his utility bills, telling Realtor Vance Brinkerhoff that his life had been threatened and asking him, “How would you like to live like that?” Brinkerhoff recounted the exchange in a court deposition in the crew members’ lawsuit. Brinkerhoff said Thompson paid his $3,000 monthly rent in moldy $100 bills. Because he didn’t want Brinkerhoff coming to the house, Thompson insisted on meeting elsewhere. Once, when Brinkerhoff did go to the property, he found Thompson apparently living in a van outside. All the while, the legal battles slogged on. It’s not clear exactly when Thompson disappeared. On Aug. 13, 2012, he failed to appear at a court hearing, and a federal judge found him in contempt and issued an arrest warrant. At the hearing, Thompson attorney Shawn Organ told the judge that his client was “at sea” and didn’t know he was supposed to be in court. An arrest warrant also was soon issued for Thompson’s assistant, Alison Anteiker, who also failed to appear in court and whom the Marshals agents believe is with Thompson.

King: Foot in mouth disease strikes I

Discord in El Rancho forgets ties of the past

I

t’s terribly disheartening to see the dissension between the residents of the Indian Pueblo of San Ildefonso and the village of El Rancho, made up of Hispanos and Anglos, over rights of way to El Rancho villagers’ homes and even county roads that supposedly had perpetual easements dating to when they were the original roads that led to Los Alamos. It’s particularly disheartening to a historian who has read and studied countless documents relating how Pueblo Indians and Hispanos could not have survived the realities of a brutal frontier existence if they had not just cooperated but become partners in wars against their Orlando common enemies. Romero Even during the Commentary Pueblo Revolt, the writing was on the wall. The Pueblos sent an emissary down to El Paso to bring the Spanish back. Why? Because without the protection of Spanish arms, the Pueblo Indians’ old enemies had returned to do battle, to raid, plunder and pillage and deprive them of their limited resources. Remember, the Pueblo people had destroyed everything European — orchards, gardens, vineyards, and animals and fowls — that reminded of Spanish rule. Read Charles Hackett on the revolt of the Pueblo Indians to learn more. After revolt leader Popay was deposed, Luis Tupatú from Picuris Pueblo sent Juan Punsilli to El Paso to try to bring back the Europeans. After the Spanish returned, conflict did continue until things settled down. However, both realized that neither Pueblo nor Spaniard could survive without each other. It was the Spanish who first recognized the Pueblo’s right to rule over their own people and thus the canes of authority were granted to them, which have been confused with canes of sovereignty. What is amazing is the number of skirmishes and battles where Pueblo auxiliaries and their Hispano counterparts died side by side. We have a rather romantic notion of “Spanish” New Mexico and its colonists, but the reality is that not only were the colonists surrounded by warring and marauding tribes, but so, too, were the Pueblo people. Even before the arrival of the Spanish, Indian warfare not only existed but also was a fearful reality that the Pueblos dreaded. Enemy tribes not only plundered but took captives as slaves. Read War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage, by Laurence H. Keeley, and Prehistoric Warfare in the American Southwest, by Steven A. LeBlanc, and also by the same author and Katherine E. Register, Constant Battles: Why We Fight. And it you don’t believe me that the Pueblos fought and died side by side with Hispanos against their common enemies, go and see for yourself the Segesser Hide paintings at the Palace of the Governors. The hides and their history document Hispanos and Pueblo Indians fighting the French in Nebraska. Read, too, Storms Brewed in Other Men’s Worlds: The Confrontation of Indians, Spanish and French in the Southwest, 1540-1795 by Elizabeth A.H. John. And unless you are totally ignorant of New Mexico history, Pueblo Indians and Hispanos also died side by side in the Rebellion of the Chimayósos in 1837 against the Mexican government and again in 1847, when they joined forces against the Anglo-American government. The point here is that ignorance and a lack of historical perspective are at the root of the San Ildefonso and El Rancho quagmire. We grew up together, married each other and survived together. With the world falling apart, do we need another Middle East or Kosovo? Besides, in my opinion, the Pueblo Lands Act settled the issue. To my knowledge, that act never intended to leave non-Indian residents with titles to their property landlocked, without access to roads that had been used by them for decades or even longer. And if the land title companies start canceling title insurance, leaving prospective sellers unable to sell their homes because of the dispute, it probably will take congressional action to resolve the issue. With Congress’ conservative attitude at the moment, it could be a decision the pueblo will regret.

Chip seal resurfacing is bad for bicycles

S

anta Fe is a premier bicycle-friendly city. It has an excellent system of bicycle trails, first-rate mountain bike parks and an extensive system of bike lanes. But the recent decision by the Santa Fe County Public Works Department to chip seal Bonanza Creek Road is a significant step backward. Bonanza Creek Road is a popular route for bicycle riders and the only link between N.M. 14 and La Cienega and Interstate 25 frontage roads. Resurfacing the road with chip seal makes it so rough, it is virtually unridable for bicycles. In addition, chip seal is not a good road surface for motor vehicles. The roughness increases fuel usage, tire wear and noise. The only redeeming value of chip seal is that it is cheap. By going on the cheap, Santa Fe County Public Works is being penny-wise and pound-foolish. I hope that in the future, Santa Fe County commissioners and the Public Works administration will take a broader, longer view when considering road-surface alternatives and reduce or, better yet, eliminate the use of chip seal.

Fantasyland Gov. “Pinocchia” Susana Martinez believes in fairy tales. Her nose grows longer daily. The ogre, Attorney General Gary King, is guilty of all manner of villainies. Not to worry, our Fairy Godmother will save us all from a fate worse than death. Endless staged TV ads of her reading books to young New Mexican students are superfluous and downright annoying. The question remains, “What has the governor actually done for our children?” New Mexico is still at the bottom of the list when it comes to child welfare. We deserve the truth, not another four years in Fantasyland.

Serena deserves better So this is interesting: On Monday, Sept. 8, The New Mexican reported that Serena Williams won the U.S. Open Women’s Final. This was her 18th Grand Slam title, putting her in the company of such tennis greats as Steffi Graf, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. Your story appeared on the second page of the Sports section, below the fold. On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the newspaper reported that Marin Cilic won the U.S. Open Men’s Final. This was his first Grand Slam title. This story appeared on the first page of the Sports section, above the fold. I’d be interested in hearing about story placement from your editors. For me, the Serena Williams win was by far the bigger story. Robert Oldakowski

No doublespeak I won’t accept the Orwellian statements that Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center issues that there is not a link between better patient care and increased staffing. Just saying it over and over does not make it so. The 300 nurses who have left over the past three years and the words of the many nurses who have been fighting for better care, not higher salaries, speak truth, not doublespeak. Their bottom line is patient care, not profit. I am an older resident of Santa Fe, and while visiting friends at the hospital, I’ve witnessed the understaffing and the real pain and discomfort it causes. It might be legal, but it’s not right.

Birds threatened

Operas stimulating

Nearly half our birds are threatened by global warming (“Global warming threatening birds,” Sept. 9). If we do nothing, many could disappear in our children’s lifetimes. Can you imagine New Mexico without piñon jays? I cannot — they are part of the fabric of our natural community. But the science is clear that we risk losing piñon jays if we do not act. Extreme weather, bark beetles, destructive wildfires, greater threats to our health — these are the warning signs of global warming. The birds that share our backyards are threatened, too. But we can act to secure a better future. We can reduce pollution, use energy more efficiently and continue our work to protect the key places that birds — and we — call home. It’s up to all of us to do what we can — and up to our congressional representatives to take decisive action. Piñon jays should always be a part of New Mexico.

I am writing in response to Duane Roller’s rather stuffy and dour comments about The Santa Fe Opera (“Operas straying off course,” My View, Aug. 30). I found his reference to “the ignorance of the audience” to be particularly offensive. Opera is a living art. It is not meant to be frozen in a museum for an elite few. Composers do not write operas for empty theaters. I attended many performances this summer, where I often saw the evening end with a standing ovation. One of the joys of the season was in observing the engagement of audiences. Roller saw a sports event. I saw people having an enthusiastic and meaningful experience. It was especially gratifying to see young people coming to the opera. I treasure The Santa Fe Opera because it strives to present productions that are not only entertaining but also stimulating and thought-provoking to today’s audience.

t was a bad week for Gary King. And that’s in a campaign that hasn’t seen many good weeks. Once again the Democratic gubernatorial candidate had a mediocre campaign finance report. But even more discouraging was the fact that nearly 10 percent of the contributions he received turned out to be from companies connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. After I broke this news, King said he would return these contributions. (Lesson for future campaign finance staff: When several checks come in, all having different company names but from the same address in the Caribbean, that should raise Steve Terrell some flags.) Roundhouse But the Epstein Roundup story didn’t get as much traction as another story King had to deal with. A national conservative publication called The Weekly Standard obtained a video of King at a fundraiser in Belen saying “Susana Martinez does not have a Latino heart.” Cue the outrage. This was even worse than the time that Pete Dinelli, running for mayor of Albuquerque, said Democrats who vote for Republicans were acting like “a bunch of pendejos.” To me, “gaffe-of-the-day” stories usually are the dumbest kind of “scandals” to cover. Quite often they boil down to poor word choice by a politician. Sometimes the offending rhetoric isn’t just taken out of context, it’s renditioned out of context. The people who are aghast at the unspeakable statement — who almost always are from the opposite political party — inevitably will defend, at least in public, the next politician from their own party who commits a similar gaffe. That’s just the nature of the game. Anyone who knows Gary King knows he’s not a racist. Just like anyone who knows Albuquerque Republican lawyer Pat Rogers, who lost his job because of a dumb joke about General Custer, knows Rogers doesn’t hate American Indians. King’s entire statement, made at a recent fundraiser, referred to a previous speaker there, famous Hispanic labor activist Dolores Huerta: “[Huerta] said you can’t go out there and just vote for somebody for governor because they have a Latino surname,” King said. “She said you have to look at them and find out if they have a Latino heart. And we know that Susana Martinez does not have a Latino heart.” I’m not taking sides in the race, but I was glad that King didn’t apologize. The typical next step in this dunce dance is for the gaffe maker to apologize “if I offended anyone.” Instead, King issued a statement saying, “I stand by my friend Dolores Huerta and her words that Susana Martinez lacks the empathy or commitment to the values we share in New Mexico.” Basically, King was saying what one of his primary opponents, state Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, said at an Albuquerque forum in May: that Martinez “does not have a heart or soul for this state.” Still, I don’t think it was wise for King to have stepped in the quicksand of ethnicity. As a Washington Post blog said last week, “Even if he was [quoting Huerta], it was probably not a good idea, since it has attracted negative attention.” It brings back memories of Patricia Madrid, running for lieutenant governor in 1994, telling a mostly Hispanic crowd in Las Vegas, N.M., that Republican Gary Johnson would “surround himself with nothing but Anglos.” Speaking to about 200 people at a Las Vegas restaurant, Madrid said, “The newcomers to this state don’t appreciate your values. They don’t appreciate Hispanics.” The candidate who suffered for that was Gary King’s father, Bruce King, who lost his re-election bid to Johnson that year. Actually, even though some of her people were pushing the “Latino heart” story, Martinez had a pretty classy reaction to the flap. In a statement to The Associated Press, she said, “I’m not sure what Gary King meant by what he said, so I’m not going to accuse him of racism. We certainly have different views on the issues, but I know what’s in my heart and I won’t question what’s in his.” Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@sfnew mexican.com.

Safety first? Not always

A

large-scale study on safety (or the lack thereof) in the nation’s nuclear weapons facilities couldn’t have come at a better time for New Mexico. After all, the state is home to Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, all places where dangerous materials are built or stored. With an accident earlier this year at WIPP calling into question the procedures along the supply chain to the underground storage facility, a hard look at safety is essential. (In February, a drum containing radioactive waste from Los Alamos burst and leaked radiation below ground at WIPP, an accident that both exposed workers to radiation and effectively has shut down the storage facility. The exploding drum happened just a few days after a truck fire in the underground nuclear waste facility.) What’s more, both Sandia and Los Alamos are on course to increase production of various nuclear weapons components. Before that happens, New Mexicans need to know that their safety comes first. The study was released this month by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board and examined 17 facilities in the United States, including three here. According to the findings, Los Alamos, Sandia and WIPP displayed a lack of preparedness for emergencies, something found at facilities across the country — it’s cold comfort to find we are not alone. To our way of thinking, what happened at WIPP in February could be a fortunate accident. It has caused the Department of Energy to focus on whether safety procedures are being followed, and alerted the rest of us that all might not be well in the secret word of nuclear science and waste storage. On the WIPP accident’s heels comes the first report of its kind in 15 years. Examining lessons learned in various disasters, everything from oil spills to a Japanese nuclear meltdown, the study seeks to determine whether the U.S. labs are prepared for disasters. One interesting finding is that a focus on catastrophic disasters seems to have slowed efforts to handle the more common yet still dangerous scenarios. The report’s findings are clear: Facilities need to step up safety training and emergency planning — and the Energy Department must hold administrators’ feet to the fire to ensure proper planning takes place. State Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn, already unhappy about the Energy Department’s stonewalling his agency on answers about the WIPP accident, also should seek additional training at New Mexico facilities. Should a disaster occur, it is likely that state and local emergency responders will be working with federal workers to protect people and property, so Flynn has every right to demand to see what the facilities are doing. Local governments alo should weigh in and keep their residents informed. (This month, for example, is Santa Fe’s Preparedness Month. Citizens can go to www.30days30ways.com and find ways to be prepared in case of fire or other disaster.). Sandia was dinged for scheduling evacuation drills rather than real-world exercises that take everyone though disaster or accident possibilities. After being told of the deficiencies, Sandia officials said they had corrected the mistakes but didn’t. So, add dissembling to the list of concerns everyone must have about safety. We need to know that the many contractors who work with the labs also are prepared. One weak link — a careless employee, a failure to inventory storage materials correctly or a contractor switching inert ingredients — can cause a chain reaction that could lead to catastrophe. What we can do, what we must do, is ensure that when accidents happen, responders are prepared and ready.

Food on Museum Hill

C

hances are, most people couldn’t take off from work to attend one of Santa Fe’s most promising new conferences — this one about food and its role in our lives and cultural history. FUZE.SW wrapped up Saturday with a buffalo feast after two exciting days of discussions about New Mexico food, focusing on the cuisine of the state’s original inhabitants. But the goodness continues today, with everyone invited to Museum Hill for a daylong family food event called FUZE.SW MarketPlace. There, at no cost, attendees will find New Mexico-grown and prepared foods to taste and buy. There will be cooking demonstrations, cookbook signings, horno bread-making, a green chile roast and other activities to enjoy, including Native dances. This conference, in its infancy, is bringing together chefs, experts — and this year, even Pueblo grandmas to cook lunch the traditional way — to spotlight the foods of New Mexico. We look forward to seeing how the conversation evolves in 2015, and in the meantime, head over to Museum Hill today (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) for a day of food and fun.

COMMENTARY: MOHAMMED A. SALIH

In Iraq: A young girl tells her story This is the story told to me by a 14-yearold Yazidi girl I’ll call “Narin,” currently staying in northern Iraqi Kurdistan. I am a Kurdish journalist with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri at Columbia who covers northern Iraq as a freelancer for several international news outlets. I heard about Narin’s tale through a Yazidi friend who knew her. Aside from translating from Kurdish and excerpting her story in collaboration with Washington Post editors, the only things I changed are all the names, at Narin’s request, to protect her and other victims from reprisal; many of her relatives are still in captivity.

s the sun rose over my dusty village on Aug. 3, relatives called with terrifying news: Jihadists from the Islamic State were coming for us. I’d expected just another day full of household tasks in Tel Uzer, a quiet spot on the western Nineveh plains of Iraq, where I lived with my family. Instead, we scrambled out of town on foot, taking only our clothes and some valuables. After an hour of walking north, we stopped to drink from a well in the heart of the desert. Our plan was to take refuge on Mount Sinjar, along with thousands of other Yazidis like us who were fleeing there, because we had heard a lot of stories about Islamic State brutality and what they had done to non-Muslims. They’d been converting religious minorities or simply killing them. But suddenly, several vehicles drove up and we found ourselves surrounded by militants wearing Islamic State uniforms. Several people screamed in horror; we were scared for our lives. I’ve never felt so helpless in my 14 years. They had blocked our path to safety, and there was nothing we could do. The militants divided us by gender and age: One for young and capable men, another for girls and young women, and a third for older men and women. The jihadists stole cash and jewelry from this last group, and left them alone at the oasis. Then they placed the girls and women in trucks. As they drove us away, we heard gunshots. Later we learned that they were killing the young men, including my 19-year old brother, who had married just six months ago. That afternoon, they brought us to an empty school in Baaj, a little town west of Mosul near the Syrian border. We met many other Yazidi women who were captured by the Islamic State. Their fathers, brothers and husbands had also been killed, they told us. Then Islamic State fighters entered. One of them recited the words to the shahada, the Muslim creed — “I testify that there is no God but Allah, and that Muhammad is his prophet” — and said that if we repeated them, we would become Muslims. But we refused. They were furious. They insulted us a lot and cursed us and our beliefs. A couple of days later, we were taken to a large hall full of a few dozen more

I can never again set foot in our little village, even if it’s freed from Islamic State, because the memory of my brother who died nearby would haunt me too much. Yazidi girls and women in Mosul, where Islamic State has its Iraqi headquarters. Some of the fighters were my age. They told us we were pagans and confined us for 20 days inside the building, where we slept on the floor and ate only once per day. Every now and then, an Islamic State man would come in and tell us to convert, but each time we refused. As faithful Yazidis, we would not abandon our religion. We wept a lot and mourned the losses suffered by our community. One day, our guards separated the married from unmarried women. My good childhood friend Shayma and I were given as a gift to two Islamic State members from the south, near Baghdad. They wanted to make us their wives or concubines. Shayma was awarded to Abu Hussein, who was a cleric. I was given to an overweight, dark-bearded man about 50 years old who seemed to have some high rank. He went by the nickname Abu Ahmed. They drove us down to their home in Fallujah. On the road, we saw many Islamic State fighters and remnants of their battles. Abu Ahmed, Abu Hussein and an aide lived in a Fallujah house that looked like a palace. Abu Ahmed kept telling me to convert, which I ignored. He tried to rape me several times, but I did not allow him to touch me in any sexual way. Instead, he cursed me and beat me every day, punching and kicking me. He fed me only one meal per day. Shayma and I began to discuss killing ourselves. We were given mobile phones and instructed to call our families. Their journey had been almost as hard as ours: They’d made it to Mount Sinjar, where the Islamic State surrounded them and tried to starve them to death. After five days under siege, Kurdish rescue forces evacuated them to Syria and then brought them back to northern Iraq. If they traveled to Mosul and converted to Islam, our captors had us tell them, we would be released. Understandably, they did not trust the Islamic State, so they did not make the trip. On our sixth day in Fallujah, Abu Ahmed and the aide left for business in Mosul. Abu Hussein, Shayma’s captor, stayed behind. Around sunset the next evening, he went to the mosque for prayers, leaving us alone in the house.

Using our cellphones, we had contacted Mahmoud, a Sunni friend of Shayma’s cousin, who lived in Fallujah, for help. It was too dangerous for him to rescue us from the house, so Shayma and I used kitchen knives and meat cleavers to break the locks of two doors to get out. Wearing traditional long black abayas that we found in the house, we walked for 15 minutes through town, which was quiet for evening prayers. Then Mahmoud came and picked us up on the street and took us to his home. That night, Mahmoud fed us and gave us a place to sleep. The next morning, he recruited a cab driver to take us all on the two-hour ride to Baghdad. The driver said he was afraid of Islamic State but offered to help us for God’s sake. We dressed like local women and covered our faces with a niqab, leaving only our eyes visible. Mahmoud gave us fake student IDs in case we were stopped at checkpoints. I had never felt so much anxiety. At each checkpoint, I was sure we’d be discovered. At one — I cannot recall if it was controlled by Islamic State or Iraqi forces — Mahmoud bribed the guards to let us through. We had contacted Yazidi and Muslim Kurdish family friends to help us in Baghdad, and I cannot describe the dizzy sense of relief I felt when we arrived at their house. In Baghdad, the family friends gave us another pair of fake ID cards that enabled us to board a flight to Irbil, the capital of Kurdistan in the north. I still couldn’t believe we were free until our plane touched the ground. After staying in Irbil overnight at the house of a Yazidi member of the Iraqi parliament, Vian Dakhil, we traveled north to Shekhan, to the residence of Baba Sheikh, the spiritual leader of the world’s Yazidis. After so much fear for so many days, hugging my dad again was the best moment of my life. He said he had cried for me every day since I disappeared. That evening, we went to Khanke, where my mother was staying with her relatives. We hugged and kept crying until I fainted. My monthlong ordeal was over, and I felt reborn. But there was more bad news to come. That’s when I learned that Islamic State had shot my brother at the oasis. My sister-in-law, a very beautiful woman, is still captive somewhere in Mosul. Now I am trying to come to terms with what happened. I can never again set foot in our little village, even if it’s freed from Islamic State, because the memory of my brother who died nearby would haunt me too much. I still have nightmares and swoon several times a day — when I remember what I saw or imagine what would have happened if Shayma and I hadn’t escaped. What can I do? I want to leave this country altogether. This country is no place for me anymore. I want to go to a place where I might be able to start over, if that is even possible.

About 2,000 stood in line later at the reception in La Fonda to shake hands with Senator Humphrey. Pointing to Los Alamos and New Mexico’s space programs as examples of great projects that could not exist without the federal government, the Minnesota senator promised that they would be “maintained, improved and expanded” by a Democratic administration.

Sept. 14, 1989: Albuquerque — A “Ten Most Wanted” list naming parents who are not paying child support will be posted in buildings throughout New Mexico as a crackdown ordered by Gov. Garrey Carruthers. Carruthers warns that people delinquent in child-support can arrange to make monthly payments or they could find their names on the list along with a request that people who know where they are call to report them to the state Human Services Department. Names on the list will change monthly and will be selected randomly from among the delinquent.

t the Artesia immigrant family detention center, in a cramped trailer known as the law library, a little girl turning 7 last Sunday listened, bright-eyed and pigtailed, while a group of volunteer attorneys stood around her and mangled “Las Mañanitas.” Her mother, seated beside her, wept. There was no birthday cake. Cake would have been labeled contraband. The girl whispered “gracias,” and then lawyers went back to huddle over small tables to talk to the mothers. The women were relating the harrowing events that drove them to flee Central America: rape, extortion and death threats; the murder of their relatives; forced recruitment of their sons into violent gangs. The littler kids, sad or bored, would wander away from the TV, which was playing the Chipmunks movie over and over. They wanted to sit on their mothers’ laps, but the women, not wanting to tell their stories in earshot of their children, nudged them away. There are so many reasons why it’s terrible that we’re jailing hundreds of Central American mothers and their young children in Artesia, that it’s hard to know where to start. Many say we have to detain them because they are, after all, lawbreakers. In fact, refugees, who present themselves at the border in order to present a good-faith asylum claim, are actually not breaking the law. But by speeding up deportations, our government is. U.S. law related to the protections owed refugees is based on a 1951 international treaty, which we have signed. Many say we have to deport them fast, because this is a huge crisis. The numbers do sound alarming. An estimated 60,000 Central Americans, many of them young children, arrived on our border between last October and July of this year. But by way of contrast, consider that Asia has 5 million refugees. Africa, 10 million. Americans expect countries all over the world to take in people who are fleeing violence, but we label this situation a crisis that demands the suspension of due process. Others will say we have to keep the women jailed because otherwise they won’t show up for their court dates. There are more humane — and cheaper — ways to ensure that asylum

Artesia detainees need support from Santa Fe A

Vertical ID is a legal ID iding my bike home from Ace Hardware the other day, I stopped to purchase a six-pack of Santa Fe Brewing Co.’s delicious Oktoberfest seasonal brew. The cashier said I couldn’t buy the beer because my Washington state ID is vertical, despite the fact that it scans, glows under an ID black light and even has a motorcycle endorsement printed on the back. I forgot to grab my passport before setting out for the hardware store. The owner came over and said that it was all right, I could buy the beer. I’m leaving the name of this particular establishment Jay Bennett out because they did me a solid and I am grateful. After I left, I got to thinking about how this unnecessary policy is not only obnoxious but counterproductive as well. This is not the first time that my ID has been rejected. La Choza, Susan’s Fine Wine and Spirits, Tomasita’s and other Santa Fe establishments are missing about 80 of my dollars collectively because of the prohibition on using vertical IDs to purchase alcohol. Not to mention Santa Fe Brewing Co. and La Cumbre Brewing Co., local microbreweries that are also missing their share of my money. I’m one person. And I’ve only lived here for two weeks. Given that tourism is a major contributor to Santa Fe’s economy, one can assume that out-of-state IDs are fairly common. Every time one of those IDs is vertical — even though its bearer is of age — a local restaurant or liquor store loses out on a sale. Not accepting vertical IDs to purchase alcohol prevents outof-state money from pumping into the local economy. Sure, many of the tourists in Santa Fe are older travelers who have had horizontal IDs for decades and probably don’t get carded in the first place. But for younger tourists and new residents, there are plenty of scenarios that result in unexpired vertical IDs. The sign at Cowgirl BBQ that reads “No Vertical IDs” should be evidence enough that this is a relatively common problem. Of course, the reason for reluctance to accept vertical IDs is clear: to prevent underage drinking. Fair enough. I suggest that we look to another city that has problems with underage drinking for a potential solution. Boulder, Colo., is home to the University of Colorado, the state university with the highest percentage of out-ofstate students nationwide, around 50 percent. Roughly half of these students are underage and, because they’re college students, are regularly trying to buy alcohol. Boulder has extremely strict penalties for selling alcohol to minors. As a result, bars and liquor stores have either black lights or scanners to check IDs. Perhaps another of New Mexico’s concerns is the use of fraudulent identification, although anyone who buys a fake ID buys a horizontal one (trust me, I just moved from Boulder). And really, black lights and scanners are the most effective prevention measures against fake IDs. The fact remains that vertical IDs are still governmentissued IDs. As long as the ID isn’t expired, it should be accepted as proof of age. Yes, scanners and black lights will cost establishments some money upfront, but as I’ve pointed out, these businesses will easily make the money back by selling a little more booze every month. I thank the proprietor who sold me beer, and I hope that soon he won’t have to risk his liquor license to sell a 22-year-old a six-pack.

applicants show up for court. Detention costs taxpayers $120 per detainee per day, while electronic monitoring costs $4.50 per day. Electronic monitoring might not be appropriate for all cases, but it’s not as cruel as detention. Despite the obstacles the U.S. has created, legal victories are happening on the ground right now in Artesia. Initially, women and kids were being deported so quickly that they never had a chance to talk to an attorney. But a lot has changed in the last eight weeks. Civil rights groups fought for the women to have access to lawyers. Attorneys from around the country arrived and set up a volunteer brigade. They are meeting daily with the mothers, representing them in hearings and decamping at night to a local church to draft motions and prepare for the next day in court. For the mothers and their lawyers trying to present asylum claims, the situation is still far from ideal. Court is still a trailer where women testify via video camera before an immigration judge who sits 1,800 hundred miles away in Virginia. The judges, who never see the women except as an image on a TV screen, are still setting ridiculously high bonds beyond the ability to pay of many people’s family members. But on Sept. 4, a 23-yearold Honduran woman who had been forced to marry and endure years of rape and abuse by a violent drug dealer was the first Artesia detainee to win her asylum claim. More victories, minor and major, have followed. Every news article about the Artesia facility describes — correctly — its remoteness and isolation. But for those of us in Santa Fe, Artesia is not that far away, about a 3½-hour drive south on U.S. 285. That proximity has prompted many here to lend support. Now, with the hope of real due process, it’s vital that we keep it up. The women and children detained in isolation in Artesia need us to be their voices. Their volunteer lawyers need money for office supplies. What nobody needs is another 7-year-old spending her birthday in jail. Barbara Ferry is an immigration attorney here in Santa Fe.

For 20 years, AmeriCorps makes a difference

T

his month marks the 20th anniversary of AmeriCorps. Created by President Bill Clinton, AmeriCorps has transformed the lives of more than 900,000 corps members over the last 20 years. As a proud member of AmeriCorps’ inaugural class, I can attest to the value this organization is providing in serving communities in need across the country — repairing homes ravaged by storms, helping students gain skills to get ahead, restoring parks and watersheds, and connecting low-income families to health care services. But there is more to AmeriCorps than just the 1.2 billion hours of service provided to communities by its active members over the past 20 years. AmeriCorps also functions to instill a critical culture of service in our country that lasts well beyond a member’s time in the organization. Research has shown that AmeriCorps members are far more likely to volunteer and remain engaged in their communities after their service has ended. So, in

effect, the program is creating an army of volunteers and civicminded citizens. My own experience has been consistent with these findings. As a child of immigrant parents from William Colombia, I was Consuegra raised to believe that America is the land of opportunity, and for those of us lucky enough to live here, we have a duty to give back to the community and country that has given us so much. So, in 1994, as a high school senior, I jumped at the chance to apply for the AmeriCorps program that was forming in my high school. Serving in the Youth Harvest AmeriCorps, I was one of 40 high school students who worked during their senior year to help tutor elementary and middle school kids, work at local food banks, teach X-ray technician classes to adults who were moving from welfare to work, and other service

projects on the Texas-Mexico border. I went to college at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, a liberal arts college with a strong community service ethic. After graduation I worked for Accenture and made sure to volunteer in the cities I lived. After two roles in higher education, I enrolled at The University of New Mexico Law School. I was attracted to the school because of its strong law clinic, where I was able to work and help people in need. And since law school, I have tried to continue volunteering and doing community service in every community I have lived. In my current job as the economic development representative for the New Mexico State Land Office, I am helping to build renewable energy and economic development projects throughout the state. I get great pleasure in knowing that every dollar I can help generate goes back to our state schools, universities and other institutions. Every day I can see how my work directly benefits our community. I have carried the AmeriCorps com-

mitment and pledge, to “get things done,” with me every day over the past 20 years, and I intend to continue working to improve my country and community going forward. As we celebrate this 20th anniversary of AmeriCorps, it is my sincere hope that our leaders will support the expansion of this invaluable program in the years ahead. Each year, hundreds of thousands of individuals apply for about 80,000 available slots. That means we are turning away legions of potential volunteers who could change our country for the better if they were only given the opportunity. Instead, we should be signing these individuals up and continuing to build on the culture of service that AmeriCorps is fostering throughout the nation. William Consuegra served in the first class of AmeriCorps in 1994. He is currently the economic development representative for the New Mexico State Land Office.

Health care environment is complex, changing T

he Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce recognizes that a strong community hospital is critically important to our economic future. The health care sector is forecast to grow and create many well-paying jobs for the future, but in order to create these career opportunities, we have to focus on a new way of providing care using the latest methods and systems. But small rural hospitals are under threat: According to a recent article in Albuquerque Business First, “At the same time that more New Mexicans are getting health insurance, the state’s hospitals are reducing services because of lower reimbursement rates for government health programs like Medicaid and Medicare, according to the New Mexico Hospital Association.” It has been refreshing to see that our local elected officials have chosen not

to weigh in on the complex contractual negotiations between Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and the union representing nurses and hospital technicians. The officials rightly recognize that the world of health care and Affordable Care Act reform is extremely complex, and there are no easy answers to questions about funding, technology and staffing. Issues include new management systems, government mandates, insurance and privacy requirements, required staffing levels, patient care procedures, competition from private and regional hospitals, a rising uninsured population, rising costs and other consequences related to health care reform. These are enormously complicated issues that are constantly changing. The impacts may not be felt for many years. In this environment, it is worth

reviewing some pertinent facts related to local health care: u Christus St. Vincent is one of only four unionized hospitals in New Mexico. u Christus St. Vincent serves seven counties and 300,000 people. u 20 New Mexico hospitals had a reduction in expenses last year, eight by more than 10 percent and three downsized by 20 percent. u Christus St. Vincent is the largest local nongovernment employer in Santa Fe and spends more than $30 million with local vendors each year. u Christus St. Vincent served over 53,000 emergency patients last year; u Christus St. Vincent nurses work 12-hour shifts, three days on and four off, a preference of the nurses. u Christus St. Vincent is a not-forprofit hospital that provided more than

MY VIEW: GREGORY S. SHAFFER

$47 million in care to the uninsured and underinsured last year. u Christus St. Vincent “sole community provider” funding has been reduced from $30 million to $4 million and is likely to go to zero. u Medicaid reimbursements are now linked to improvements in quality outcomes and improved patient satisfaction indexes. u Christus St. Vincent nurses with an associate’s degree and no experience start at $51,000 a year. These are great local jobs. u With benefits, the average nurse’s compensation package at Christus St Vincent is $83,000 for a three-day workweek. u It costs $800,000 a day to operate the not-for-profit hospital, from which $164 million goes to salaries for 1,900 employees annually.

Internet pundits enjoy playing the blame game and name-calling hospital management, but we clearly have a hospital focused on improving the quality of care during this perfect storm of health care reform, and issues are more complex than critics might imagine. Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center plays a critically important role in our community. As the major provider of health care, as a reliable community partner and as the largest private provider of jobs in the area, St. Vincent is responsible for the health and economic well-being of thousands of Santa Feans. Let’s support positive outcomes and encourage civil discourse around this most important issue. Simon Brackley is the president and CEO of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce.

County Commission must Senators, support access to care A act like a judicial body

T

here has been much interest recently in the decision-making process of the Santa Fe Board of County Commissioners in quasi-judicial or administrative adjudicatory land-use matters. I am writing to explain that, in such matters, the commission must act like a judicial body, is allowed — like courts — to deliberate in private and must prepare a written decision that may be overturned on appeal. Gregory S. Shaffer The commission acts in a judicial rather than a legislative capacity in quasi-judicial land use matters. Among other things, this means that it applies standards to facts that it determines based upon the evidence submitted to it and that commissioners may not generally discuss the matter with applicants or members of the public outside of the public hearing. The New Mexico Supreme Court has observed the following: “Quasi-judicial zoning matters are not politicsas-usual as far as the municipal governing body is concerned. In such proceedings, the council does not sit as a mini-Legislature, as it functions in most matters, but instead must act like a judicial body bound by ethical standards comparable to those that govern a court in performing the same function. Therefore, in addition to the right to individual notice, interested parties in a quasi-judicial zoning matter are entitled to an opportunity to be heard, to an opportunity to present and rebut evidence, to a tribunal which is impartial in the matter — i.e., having had no prehearing or ex parte contacts concerning the question at issue y,

The Ensuring Access to Primary Care for Women and Children Act will guarantee that primary care and immunization services provided to Medicaid patients will continue a program that ensures certain primary care Medicaid services are provided at Medicare rates through 2016. Before this program went into effect in 2013, New Mexico’s Medicaid payments were 85 percent of Medicare’s — and at times below the cost of providing care itself, making it unaffordable for primary care practices to accept more Medicaid patients, if any at all. This program is set to expire at the end of 2014 despite being regarded as a success for enabling more practices to accept more Medicaid patients. Physicians we’ve spoken to

Section 10-15-1(H)(3) of the Open Meetings Act allows deliberations on administrative adjudicatory matters to be closed to the public, which is what courts do and which furthers sound decision-making. In his Open Meetings Act Compliance Guide, the New Mexico attorney general has explained that this exception “parallels the same privilege judges and courts have to weigh and consider in private evidence presented during a trial before reaching their final decision. Permitting agencies to deliberate in private under the specified circumstances encourages the thorough and candid consideration of evidence presented through witnesses or otherwise.” The commission does not always choose to deliberate in a closed session. But its legal right to do so is beyond question, as is the advisability of doing so in contested matters with competing factual evidence and legal arguments. A written decision is required by law and can be overturned by the courts on appeal.

be appealed and overturned by the courts if it is “not supported by substantial evidence” or “the agency did not act in accordance with law.” Section 39-31.1(D)(2)-(3) NMSA 1978. This means that a quasi-judicial landuse decision — no matter how popular — can be overturned if not supported by fact or law. In sum, the County Commission is required to act like a court in quasi-judicial proceedings. Like courts, the commission may sometimes choose to deliberate in private and may not always announce a decision immediately after a hearing. This is allowed by law and actually furthers the goal of sound decisions that pass judicial muster on appeal.

MY VIEW: GLEN SMERAGE

Planning for connector by college is flawed A

consulting firm, Santa Fe County and a committee representing government agencies are continuing a study on alternative corridors for a southeast connector from Rabbit Road (a frontage road on the south side of Interstate 25) south to an extension of Avenida del Sur along the southern boundary of Santa Fe Community College. The study is nearing completion, with a public information meeting at the college presented last month. The primary purpose for the southeast connector was stated to be reduction of traffic on Richards Avenue to Santa Fe Community College via an alternate road and a second entrance elsewhere on campus. The main entrance now to Santa Fe Community College is a roundabout on Richards; an alternative entrance opened a year ago on the north campus at College Drive does not alleviate traffic on Richards. The proposal would extend College Drive to the southeast connector, emphasize College Drive and the north entrance to the college as its second main entrance and exacerbate traffic for residents of adjacent College Heights. Several facets of the committee’s thinking and approach are disturbing. First, all are not giving the southeast connector road significant, long-term purpose. They are thinking minimalist — small and cheaply — thereby repeating a major mistake by the city and county over 30 years ago with Richards Avenue: They did not assign to Richards major arterial status with a corridor reaching far to north and south of Cerrillos Road. The County Commission and its codes emphasize the Community College District as a major area for growth in the county. Consequently, the southeast connector should be placed in a corridor to serve well as a future north-south arterial of the district along the

The proposal would extend College Drive to the southeast connector, emphasize College Drive and the north entrance to the college as its second main entrance and exacerbate traffic for residents of adjacent College Heights. eastern boundary of the college, not as a quick, cheap fix of traffic on Richards. Second, from four alternatives, the planning committee seems to have selected a northsouth southeast connector corridor bisecting the campus as easiest, cheapest and best — again, merely to relieve traffic on Richards. Community college administrators appear to be compounding this poor thinking by merely objecting to that corridor interfering with the school’s ropes course. One hopes the college would have higher values and more to protect than a simple ropes course. Does it not have a long-term view of the land and facilities the college may need in 20 or more years for a muchexpanded student body and academic programs? Is the board insensitive to and unconcerned about having a major road cut across its future, developed campus? Have its members not been college students or faculty? Third, we were told that only $5 million exists to construct the southeast connector, and that is insufficient to locate and build the connector properly and well as it should be — as an arterial. If the road cannot be located and built well, do not do it. Fourth, from committee member comments at the meeting, it appeared that they might have been overly influenced against more easterly alternative corridors by objections from large landholders there.

Furthermore, this southeast connector could become a public gift to those landowners, permitting them to develop easily their land on both sides of it. No inclination appeared to seek monetary contribution from landowners toward its construction, though. In conclusion, residents of the Community College District mostly agree on the following. u Move the southeast connector to the eastern boundary of the community college campus. Do not bisect the campus. u De-emphasize the current north entrance to the college (originally intended for emergency?). With the southeast connector along its eastern boundary, place the second main entrance of the college on its eastern boundary. u Do not extend College Drive and connect it to the southeast connector, thereby exacerbating traffic for College Heights residents. u Do not build the southeast connector unless built all the way from Rabbit Road to an extension of Avenida del Sur east of the college. Otherwise, it would not mitigate traffic problems and increase connectivity. u Locate the southeast connector as a major arterial, and build it only if funds permit it to be done well.

Road proposal won’t do the job for Richards Ave. relief

I

n late July, the Santa Fe County NE/SE Connector Alignment and Corridor Study public hearing was held to obtain public input into the plans for the location for the northeast and the southeast connector roads that will link Rabbit Road to Richards Avenue. In theory, these roads will help to relieve traffic on Richards Avenue, especially during rush hour, and remove commuter traffic from Oshara Village residential roads. As usual, there are money issues that exert a significant influence on the planning process. There are apparently other issues that are less transparent to the community in the planning process. More than 50 people present were assured that there is data behind the recommended location for the southeast connector. It was not clear until the end of the meeting that the actual connection of the southeast connector will not be made with an appropriate county road. Apparently, there is not enough money to connect to a county road, or even to create a true and muchneeded eastern entrance to Santa Fe Community College. As a result, a “make-do” solution connecting the southeast connector to an extension of College Avenue is being proposed. This was not ever clearly stated by county officials and consultants, perhaps in the hopes that the community would not actually notice it. This “temporary fix” might relieve the traffic for residents of Oshara Village but will only move the problem down the road to the residents of College Heights, part of Rancho Viejo. What neighborhood relief is actually being accomplished? Connecting the proposed southeast connector to other roads in the Community College District is also a major issue for the county planners. It makes no sense to connect a county road to a small residential road. Connecting the southeast connector to another county road, such as

Avenida del Sur, would be much better. It is not a residential road and therefore is much better suited to serve as the “end Eileen point” for the Gorman southeast connector. In addition, a true eastern entrance to the college off the connector should be built. Santa Fe Community College must begin to address this issue head-on along with the neighboring community. We need to rec-

ognize a piecemeal solution will be costly for all concerned. The southeast connector should not slice through the college or end at a small residential road without a true eastern entrance/exit from the college. The proposed current location of the southeast connector is short-sighted, and in the end, will be more costly for all stakeholders involved. Eileen Gorman recently received a certificate in ceramics from Santa Fe Community College, lives near the college and has a Ph.D. in chemistry from New Mexico State University.

MY VIEW: RICHARD LIEBERMAN AND ZEBULON GIDRY

Mideast view doesn’t hold up S

heila Fox’s opinion piece (“Holy Land with neither peace nor justice,” My View, Aug. 3) is a breezy, prejudicial travelogue about her visit to Israel in 2011. Her key points are red flags. She reveals her impression that Israelis are “depressed, unfriendly and self-absorbed,” while the Palestinians in the West Bank are “warm, friendly, helpful and peaceful.” Such stunning generalizations can take their place beside other racial doctrines. They are not the stuff of careful observation, but of mischief. We teach our children to avoid such stereotyping. I have a suggestion for her next trip to the Holy Land. She can look up Dr. Rania Okby, an Israeli who is the first female Bedouin doctor in the world. She studied at the Robert Arnow Center for Bedouin Studies, and then Ben-Gurion University Medical School in Beersheba, Israel. She is now a role model and a maternal/child expert in Israel. Or Fox can interview Dr. Shimon Slavin at the International Center for Cell Therapy and Cancer Immunotherapy, at the Tel Aviv Medical Center, where he is developing the world’s most advanced treatments for breast and ovarian cancers. She can stop off and interview Salim Joubran, an Israeli Arab judge who is on the Supreme Court of Israel. And she can say “hi” to Khaled Abu Toameh, an Israeli Muslim who is a distinguished senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a respected staff writer for the Jerusalem Post. She could have visited our friend, Dr. David Appelbaum, a pioneer of outpatient medicine in Israel, only he was blown to bits by a homicide bomber while dining at Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem. He was having dinner with his daughter the evening before her wedding. She was also killed. Fox might have stopped in on Mordechai and Tzira Schijveschuurder, who were children of Holocaust survivors; only they were blown to smithereens while dining at the Sbarro Restaurant in Jerusalem with their children, who were also killed. The accomplice who

drove the bomber to the attack was recently released in a prisoner exchange for Galid Shalit, the Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas. Fox could have visited Simona Rodin, only she was one of 21 teenagers killed in the Dolphinarium bombing in Tel Aviv. The bomber specifically targeted young Jewish people. All these attacks took place in the early years of the last decade, and led to the construction of the protective wall, which seems to offend Fox, although it has saved countless lives. During her next visit, she can pick up a copy of the Hamas military field handbook that was just discovered by Israeli soldiers. It describes in detail how Hamas operatives maximize civilian casualties, both Jewish and Arab. Hamas uses civilians to shield its military. The Israelis use their military to protect its civilians. We are all deeply troubled by civilian casualties. Israel is put in an impossible situation when it’s neighbors follow manuals and charters calling for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews. Fox speaks of the Arab rockets as a mere annoyance, like untimely belches at the dinner table; ah shucks, harmless little “homemade” firecrackers, landing “outside population areas.” This is stunningly callous. These are deadly weapons, manufactured in Iranian factories, and designed to maim, blind and kill. The cement that was shipped to Gaza over the last years was supposed to be used for homes, schools, clinics and hospitals. It was diverted to tunnel construction, to provide conduits for terrorists to enter Israeli communities, so they could kidnap and kill. Just think of what good could have been done if Hamas really had wanted peace. Richard Lieberman is a former chief of staff of St. Vincent Hospital. He has been an attending physician of emergency services at Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel. Zebulon Gidry is a disabled Israeli war veteran who is staying at the Chabad House in Santa Fe.

She could have visited our friend, Dr. David Appelbaum, a pioneer of outpatient medicine in Israel, only he was blown to bits by a homicide bomber while dining at Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem.

Zeckendorf driven by desire to ‘be somebody’ Dancer, philanthropist has made mark on stage, behind scenes By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Nancy Zeckendorf has always been driven to succeed. She wanted to get out of her birthplace, the small hamlet of Tidioute, Pa., where her father owned a lumberyard, and “be somebody.” As a child in the 1930s, she said, she used to crawl along the banks of the Allegheny River at night with a flashlight to collect nightcrawlers, which she then sold to fishermen for a penny each. She used the proceeds to buy a recording of Bizet’s opera, Carmen. Years later, she danced with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet and The Santa Fe Opera and appeared on Broadway and on television. At 80, Zeckendorf is still driven.

A onetime president and chairwoman of The Santa Fe Opera, she’s now working on publication of Craig Smith’s new biography of the late John Crosby, the opera’s founder. Recently, she hosted a fundraiser at her home, complete with two eagles, to help Native American activists save birds of prey. And Zeckendorf still chairs the board of directors at the Lensic Performing Arts Center, where she helped spearhead a campaign starting in the late 1990s to restore the old theater. She’s also been a player in the real estate market in Santa Fe, working with her late husband, William Zeckendorf, to build the Eldorado Hotel, which opened in 1986. Nancy Zeckendorf has been honored in New Mexico for her work. She received the Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2001, the Governor’s Award

Sunday SPOTLIGHT for Excellence in the Arts in 2003 and the AgeNation Life Achievement Award in 2010. She and her husband were honored as Santa Fe Living Treasures in 2011. Zeckendorf’s most recent honor came Sept. 5, when the National Museum of Women in the Arts honored her with a tribute luncheon at La Posada de Santa Fe. She regaled the audience with stories of her childhood and her dance career, which she said required drive, determination, discipline, courage, ambition, luck, talent and a touch of masochism. And maybe some fibbing. She recalled standing in a lineup of anonymous but hopeful dancers on stage in a cold-call audition

Agency to assess health issues tied to Trinity blast National Cancer Institute will survey N.M. residents in 1st phase of study By Dennis J. Carroll For The New Mexican

Scientific send-off Los Alamos wraps up extended ScienceFest with daylong interactive showcase

The National Cancer Institute later this month will begin interviewing Native and Hispanic New Mexicans in a survey designed to fill in a major historical gap of the nuclear age — possible health effects of the first detonation of a nuclear device on July 16, 1945. Communications manager and project investigator Jennifer Loukissas noted that the Trinity Site blast in Southern New Mexico marked the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, just three weeks before the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Since then, she said, atomic scientists around the world have asked: “How come you Americans haven’t investigated Trinity?” Residents in communities near the Trinity Site, on what is now the White Sands Missile Range about 80 miles north of Alamogordo, have charged in recent years that entire families have been wiped out by cancers and other illnesses caused by the Trinity detonation — specifically from eating contaminated crops and livestock and drinking radiation-tainted water. They also fear that because of radiation-altered DNA, the illnesses and deaths have now jumped to the second and third generations. The health and environmental effects of the detonation “have been an open question in the scientific community,” Loukissas said. Other sites of major radiation releases — Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, and areas near the Nevada and Marshall Islands nuclear test sites, as well as the Soviet nuclear test sites in Kazakhstan — have been studied extensively for the extent of radiation releases, environmental damage and possible health dangers. In this pilot phase of the New Mexico study, National Cancer Institute researchers will fan out in eight communities across New Mexico from Sept. 24 to Sept. 30 in an attempt to interview nine Native American and Hispanic New Mexicans who were over the age of 5 at the time of the Trinity explosion. Loukissas said the

Los Alamos, the birthplace of the atomic bomb and home to more Ph.D.-holders per capita than any other city in the nation, engineers a festival around — what else? — science. “We’re the only ScienceFest in the state, so what better place than Los Alamos, New Mexico, to celebrate its history and creativity and everyday life,” Suzette Fox, executive director of Los Alamos MainStreet, said Saturday, which marked the end of the nine-day festival. “It makes me so happy that the community comes out and participates,” she said. Dozens of families gathered at Ashley Pond Park in downtown Los Alamos for ExpoDay, the festival’s culminating event. ExpoDay, which started at 11 a.m., was designed to connect children and their parents with science, technology, engineering and math through hands-on activities. “We just love to show kids science,” said Dave Schwellenbach, who is part of a volunteer group called Crazy Science that teaches students about science, mostly physics, in a fun way.

Jim O’Donnell flies a Phantom quadcopter during a demonstration Saturday at the ScienceFest in Los Alamos.

Schwellenbach was a popular draw with his “bazooka ping pong,” a vacuum-powered ping-pong ball launcher made of a long tube sealed on both ends with aluminum foil. When Schwellenbach poked a hole on one end of the tube, the ball inside shot out with

such force that it penetrated two soda cans. “How many of you like loud noises?” Schwellenbach asked before pulling the trigger every 15 minutes or so.

Ramona Somoza, a gregarious Santa Fean who played many roles and touched many lives throughout her 98 years, died Sept. 2. Somoza, who emigrated from Spain to the U.S. as a child and lived in her home country for several years as a young adult, was drawn to Santa Fe later in life by its ties to Spain and its cultural similarities. Born Feb. 14, 1916, in farming community called Veriña near the northern coast of Spain, Somoza moved with her parents and her three siblings to Luke, Md., looking for a better life. Her father worked in a local paper factory, and Somoza quickly Ramona began her lifelong habit of making Somoza fast friends, said her eldest son, Gene Somoza. She also was the first in her family to learn to speak English. “The thing she most enjoyed was talking to people,” Gene Somoza said. He said his mother excelled in school and had planned to go to Columbia University, but her father squashed that plan out of fear that she would often be unaccompanied. As the Great Depression seized the nation, Ramona Somoza’s father lost his job, and her parents returned to Spain. Ramona went, too, planning only a short visit to the country, but then the Spanish Civil War erupted and she was unable to return home. She lost her naturalized American citizenship. Amid the ravages of war, Gene Somoza said, his

FUNERAL SERVICES & MEMORIALS

LESLIE JEAN COLLIER (NEE FUHRMAN)

JOHN GERITY SCOTT LYDIA L. GARCIA

Leslie Jean Collier (nee Fuhrman), age 44, lost her life on August 31, 2014 in Santa Fe, NM after a long battle with a debilitating neurological disease called neuromyelitis optica; the disease robbed her of most bodily functions and all human dignity. Prior to her disease, she was very independent and self-sufficient. Growing up on a farm in Nebraska, where she milked cows and drove tractors from a young age, she yearned instead for a corporate career, but she had no means for attending college. So after graduating from high school as valedictorian, she joined the U.S Marines and later used the GI bill to fund her college education, ultimately earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration and two MBA’s. Managing businesses and people were her passion. Rapidly climbing the corporate ladder, she became a national executive with the American Heart Association, coordinating national fundraising campaigns for heart disease research and educational programs for children about healthy lifestyles; loving her job, she continued in her national position for four years even after she fell ill, but ultimately had to leave her job for disability in 2013. In her spare time, she enjoyed exploring the mountains and red-rock deserts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah; camping; and tandem whitewater kayaking with her husband. In her last years, these became more difficult for her to do, though she had one of the best kayaking days of her life just one month before she died. She also loved an eclectic mix of Native American art of the Southwest and Salvador Dali paintings. She was devoted to her husband and gave him unconditional love to a depth he has never known. Always a fighter, she spent her final years fighting medical insurance companies and physicians for better treatment of her rare disease so she could hopefully enjoy a better quality of life. She was loved by her employees, colleagues, friends, and of course family, but not medical insurance companies or some doctors. She is survived by a son, Donald Mayville, of Fort Gordon, GA who is in the Army; a brother, Keith Fuhrman and his two daughters and son of Omaha, NE; her parents Jim and Jean Fuhrman, of Bassett, NE; her beloved husband, Christopher Collier, MD of Santa Fe, NM and Lebanon, OR; and her beloved Labrador retriever, Java, who was by her side as she died. BETTY ELLEN (EDWARDS) ALTERS Betty Ellen (Edwards) Alters, frequent visitor to Santa Fe, died Sept. 5 at her Scottsdale, AZ residence. She was 86 years young. She was preceded in death by her husband M.M. (Marcellus) and is survived by her daughters Cheryl Alters Jamison (Bill Jamison) of Santa Fe, and Myrna Richard (John Richard) and Julie McCracken (Scott McCracken), both of Cave Creek, AZ, as well as her sister Jane Emerick of Rushville, IL, brotherand sister-in-law Don and Peg Alters of Springfield, IL, many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, nieces and nephews, and grand-dog Rocky. Betty was born in Rushville, IL but lived much of her adult life in Galesburg, IL, where she taught 4th and 5th grades and delighted kids with her amazing Halloween costumes and her enthusiasm for the written word. She made the world’s best apple crisp. She loved Fiesta de Santa Fe, especially the Pet Parade. No one was a bigger fan of the St. Louis Cardinals or the Phoenix Mercury. She was a talented athlete herself, and tried out in the 1940s for the Peoria Redwings professional women’s baseball team, part of the league showcased in the movie "A League of Their Own." She loved travel and instilled a love of it in her daughters. Well into her mid-70s, she was hot air ballooning in Australia and attending cooking school in France. Memorial celebration at Pinnacle Presbyterian Church Chapel, Scottsdale, Saturday, October 4th at 2 PM. Arrangements through Messinger Mortuary, Scottsdale. Donations in Betty’s memory may be made to Banner Alzheimer’s Institute through Banner Alzheimer’s Foundation (banneralz.org), Desert Botanical Garden (dbg.org/tribute), or Hospice of the Valley (hov.org), all in Phoenix.

MARGE VILES MARGE VILES passed away September 10, 2014 at Kingston Residence. Marge was born April 24, 1918, in Rowena, Texas, the eighth of nine children. She spent her childhood and teen years in Gallup, NM where she met and married James McDonald who was working on the road crew paving Route 66. After following road construction for several years, they settled in the Tesuque valley in 1941. They attended First Baptist Church of Santa Fe where Marge has been a member for 73 years. James died in a tragic accident in 1957. Marge later married Carl Viles. Marge took advantage of St John’s College where she completed the Great Books curriculum. She was very active in garden club. She exhibited in both horticulture and creative classes in flower shows locally and state wide where she won numerous trophies and awards. Her arrangements were also featured in the official Garden Club calendar, Visons of Beauty. While attending the International Garden Club Convention in South Africa, Marge achieved the level of International Flower Show Judge. She became skilled in Ikibana Japanese arranging and taught that artistic style all over New Mexico. Evolving from her skills as a horticulturist and her flare for design, she began her own landscape business, Designs for Living. She was a charter member of the New Mexico Governor’s Mansion Foundation, chairing the landscape committee for many years. Much of her work is still evident at the Governor’s Mansion. Marge designed the initial landscaping for First Baptist Church on Old Pecos Trail as well as chairing the floral committee. For over 25 years, each Sunday, she provided floral arrangements for the sanctuary. Her Christmas decorations for the church are still remembered with admiration. Marge Viles is survived by daughter, Dorothy Smoker, and stepdaughters, Sharon Hendrickson and husband Taylor, Carol Roberts and husband Dave, Grandchildren Sandra Snow and husband Matt, Jay Thompson and wife Jennifer, James Thompson and wife Dawn, Debbie Siler, Jacque Siler, Rollie Siler III , Glenda Miller and husband Denis, Richard Roberts and numerous great and great-great grandchildren.

On September 4, 2014, after a valiant and prolonged struggle with debilitated health, John Gerity Scott "escaped... into that place or non-place that none of us have yet gone," to quote a eulogy he once wrote for a dear friend. He leaves behind a wide-reaching community of loved ones bereaved and still marveling at the ways he touched the lives of so many, from those closest to him to those he only briefly encountered. "I just love your dad," was a constant refrain for as long as his two daughters, who themselves adored him, can remember. John emitted a light that drew others to him, often in their own times of darkness. He was fearlessly compassionate, did not shy away from the painful and/or unknown. He moved through life open and tender, not to mention with an outrageous, irreplaceable, sense of humor. There was always room at his inn, a place both safe and wickedly funny. The youngest of four children, John was born in 1944 in Vallejo, California, to parents Wilma Scott and Russell Gerity, both of whom died when he was a small child, before being adopted into the loving home of his aunt and uncle, Isabelle and Warren Scott, in Canton, Ohio. After graduating from Wittenberg University in Ohio, John completed a Masters of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary. He later received a Doctorate of Ministry from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. As an ordained Presbyterian Minister, he served congregations in Fort Wayne, Indiana; Chicago, Illinois; San Geronimo, California; and Truchas and Chimayo, New Mexico. John had a varied career in New Mexico and Santa Fe, arriving in 1994 as the Executive Director for Hope House, the hospice for HIV-AIDS patients. He served in that capacity until there was no need for the hospice. He then headed the Alice King Family Center at the New Mexico Penitentiary to assist and aid families of the incarcerated. Further he served as Interim Minister for La Mesa Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque and for Westminster Presbyterian Church in Gallup. For several years he was a Hospital Chaplain for Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque and then served as Assistant Director of Education at Ghost Ranch Center in Abiquiu. John believed the ministry was his calling---it was a constant thread throughout his life, and one of his greatest joys as well---especially as it entailed advocacy for the oppressed, outcast, and otherwise overlooked. This advocacy spanned multiple scales, from his involvement with various movements (e.g., for civil rights, women’s rights, gay rights, and the sanctuary movement in the 1980’s), to his support for individuals’ empowerment. While fiercely committed to social justice in its many forms, John was never didactic or self-righteous. Rather, he possessed and practiced a kindness, tolerance, and humility that were indeed nothing short of radical. John is survived by his husband, David Loren Bass of Santa Fe; daughters Emily Eliza Scott (Thomas Gotschi) of Zurich, Switzerland and Megan Finkelman (Bruce) of Oak Park, Illinois; grandchildren Zoe, Max and Charlotte; former wife Alice Gillam of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; siblings Robert, Norman and Loretta of California; nieces and nephew Lee Ann, Katie, Cindy, and Scott; special family relations Barbara Porco and Laura Porco; and countless friends and parishioners. His own lifelong work ministering others, including counseling them through death and grief, is a guiding light for us now, as we imagine how to move forward in the world without this wonderful man in our immediate midst. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in John Gerity Scott’s name to El Buen Pastor Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 185, Chimayo, NM 87522 and/or to Smith Memorial Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 340, Truchas, NM 87578.

ELIZABETH LAKIND 1947 - 2014 Elizabeth Lakind passed away at her home, surrounded by her family, on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014. Elizabeth grew up in Queens, NY, went to Smith College, and received a PhD in Social Psychology from Columbia University. A resident of New Mexico since 1976, Elizabeth attended UNM Medical School and served the Santa Fe community as a Neurologist from 1992 through February of this year. Compassionate, funny, brilliant, and wise, an avid traveler and an accomplished musician, she enriched the lives of everyone who knew her.

Continued from Page C-1 most reliable reporting comes from those who were old enough at the time to be familiar with the dietary and living habits of their younger siblings and other relatives they might have been helping to care for. The communities targeted in the first phase of the project are Alamogordo, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Santa Rosa, Fort Sumner and Roswell, as well as the Mescalero Apache reservation about 100 miles from the Trinity Site and the Picuris Pueblo northeast of Española, one of the pueblos that scientists believe the radioactive Trinity cloud passed over. Interviewees will be asked questions about their diets and living circumstances at the time of the test in an attempt to determine possible pathways for internal exposure to radiation. “The study overall is related to cancer risks associated with radiation from the Trinity test,” Loukissas said. More specifically, she said, “we are seeking to generate a dietary model for Native and Hispanic communities living in New Mexico at the time of the test. … Individual diet and lifestyle patterns could influence the degree to which they were exposed to fallout.” Lifestyle patterns would include the types of buildings residents lived in — adobe or wooden; where they worked — in a factory or in the fields; and where they got their food and drinking water. “The dose-reconstruction part of the project,” Loukissas said, “is based on an analysis of the fallout pattern, the dietary and lifestyle reported, the demographic distribution of the population and the composition of the fallout.” The overall goal, she said, is to determine the likelihood of residents contracting cancers from exposure to the Trinity radiation. The National Cancer Institute study was prompted in part by a 2010 report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that raised concerns about possible health effects of the Trinity fallout. The pilot study will help the researchers test their interview methods for a more expanded survey next year, which could include up to 100 people. “We are going to look at our interview guide and see whether it was easy to use — did it give us meaningful answers or not?” Loukissas said. She said Native and Hispanic residents were chosen because dietary and lifestyle models for the time already exist for white New Mexicans. And they will interview only nine people because of “safeguard” regulations from the White House Office of Management and Budget. Loukissas said information from the pilot study will be presented to the Office of Management and Budget to obtain permission for next year’s expanded survey, a process that takes about nine months. Protocols for the study were influenced greatly by input from two groups, Loukissas said: The Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium and a Native women’s nuclearissues advocacy group, Las Mujeres Hablan. Loukissas said the two groups have helped the institute secure support for the study, raise awareness of cultural sensitivities and obtain information about New Mexico lifestyles in general. “It’s been a tremendous collaboration.” Marian Naranjo, a resident of Santa Clara Pueblo and a founder of Las Mujeres Hablan, said she is hopeful but somewhat skeptical that the study can accomplish its goal. “Finally something that we have been working on since 1998 is coming to a fruitfulness in that the government is finally doing something.” However, she said, the researchers, based in Maryland, “have no idea of the uniqueness of New Mexico with all the sovereign nations that reside here and all the protocols that are necessary to work with Native people.”

VA officials: Patient data mishandled The New Mexico Veterans Affairs Health Care System is notifying more than 2,000 veterans in the state that their personal information may have been compromised, officials said in a news release issued Saturday. On July 30, the release says, a supervisor at the Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center in Albuquerque discovered a folder containing the names and Social Security numbers of 2,657 veterans in a public women’s restroom. The employee responsible for misplacing the folder has voluntarily resigned from the VA, the release say. There have been no reports of criminal activities involved with the exposure of the veterans’ personal information, the release says, but the New Mexico VA Health Care System is contacting veterans whose information was in the folder and is offering them free credit monitoring services for 12 months.

Another protest is slated for Sunday, when advocates say they will use water guns at a park. Activists had called for the contest to be canceled in the wake of the Albuquerque Police Department being investigated over allegations of excessive force and a recent series of fatal shootings.

The expedition passed through El Morro en route to California. “Mounted and packed to the fullest, U.S. Army camels proved their potential for western travel,” says a news release on the event, adding that the festival will include “fun, educational opportunities, and yes, camels.” Gates to the monument, southwest of Grants, will open at 9 a.m. each day. The event will feature interpretive programs by park rangers and historical re-enactments by Camel Corps expert Doug Baum. There will be fun for the whole family with children’s crafts and activities.

their fields in winters to let old, harvested rice stalks rot away — over the years became essential substitute providers of wetlands, but water curtailments have hit them hard. Normally, the state’s rice farmers would have 250,000 to 300,000 acres flooded in winter; this winter, it may be as little as 50,000, said Paul Butner of the California Rice Commission. The Nature Conservancy’s new program lets farmers submit bids to flood their fields in key migration periods — September to October, and February to March — when water habitat is expected to be especially scarce, said Mark Reynolds, a conservancy scientist who helped craft the pop-up wetlands effort. The group would only say that the total cost is in the six-digit range. Designers used bird-tracking data via Cornell University and the Audubon Society and geographical data from government satellite photos to locate pop-up wetlands where they would do the most good. At Montna Farms, 5,000 acres outside the Sacramento Valley’s Yuba City that produce sticky, short-grain rice for sushi, manager Jon Munger was pushing this week to get fields harvested, prepared and flooded again by the next day for the pop-up wetlands. Least sandpipers and greater yellowleg migratory shorebirds stood alongside dirt irrigation ditches, waiting for the fields to fill. In two weeks, Munger said, there will be thousands of birds, swimming, resting and stalking bugs. Without these fields providing a rare swath of wetlands, the birds “would be looking to get the weight and feed and energy they need to keep moving on,” he said. “That’s what’s worrisome about this year.”

precinct than there were even registered voters there.” Assistant Secretary of State Jim Drake said it appears the errors didn’t cause any significant problems. “They’re all the same races — nobody voted in a race that they weren’t entitled to, but we’re probably going to look at consolidating them in the general election,” Drake said. Both counties are in the state’s 1st Congressional District, which was hotly contested in the GOP primary. Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin narrowly edged out Gary Kiehne, who conceded the race last week. Chris Baker, a political consultant who worked with Kiehne, said he didn’t think the extremely high figures indicated any suspicious activity.

The meters, painted bright orange and covered with smiley faces and inspirational sayings, are also designed to raise awareness of homelessness.

They also say that in some cities meters have been used to push panhandlers out of town. “If we would get serious about addressing the actual economic and social issues that we find so off-putting, we wouldn’t need meters,” said Paul Boden, director of the Western Regional Advocacy Project, who called the project “asinine.” Pasadena is the first city in Los Angeles County to try in Northern New Mexico’s #1 the meter approach.

Crews battle Calif. fire amid heat wave

REGIONAL BUSINESSES: HEAT

before it is contained, although no additional structures were immediately threatened. “The fire is making a couple of uphill runs on us,” Orange County fire Capt. Mike Petro said Saturday. “We know that the numbers we have will probably go up. We don’t know exactly how much.” The flames sent up a towering column of smoke that could be seen for miles throughout Southern California. Although temperatures were high, firefighters who worked in the steep terrain were aided by light winds. Three firefighters suffered undisclosed minor injuries. The National Weather Service says high pressure combined with a weak offshore flow could create high temperatures throughout the weekend reaching up to 20 degrees above normal through Tuesday. About 90 to 100 homes in the area were without power Saturday, and Thompson said authorities had opened several cooling centers for people needed to escape the heat. The Cleveland National Forest sprawls over the rugged peaks of the Santa Ana Mountains, straddling the Orange and Riverside county line southeast of Los Angeles.

By Gillian Flaccus The Associated Press

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Hundreds of firefighters battled both flames and triple-digit temperatures Saturday as they sought to contain a wildfire that forced people to flee about 30 homes near Southern California’s Cleveland National Forest. The fire, which burned through about 2½ square miles of dry canyon brush, was only about 10 percent contained Saturday, said Deanne Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Emergency Operations Center. Meanwhile, both heat and smoke advisories were in effect for the area, with temperatures forecast to reach as high as 105 degrees between Saturday and Tuesday. On Friday, officials ordered the evacuation of about 30 homes in the area. None were reported burned, and authorities said it was just a precaution, but residents remained out of their homes on Saturday. More than 700 firefighters, aided by six helicopters and five fixed-wing aircraft, were battling the blaze, which was first reported Friday morning. It was expected to continue to grow

Ah, but that’s the rub, of course. I refer to parents who will not set limits of any meaningful sort on their children’s use of electronics because, get this, it will upset them. And we must not, in America, have upset children. As one parent put it to me recently: “I mean, but John, that’s what they’re all doing at night!” Meaning that if he shut down his teenage child’s electronic access after 8 p.m., the child would be placed at a significant social disadvantage, grow up feeling deprived, and never reach his full potential or some other such baloney. My parents hardly ever let me do what “all” the other kids were doing. In retaliation, I left home and got married at age 20 and managed, somehow, to overcome the debilitating social limitations my parents had imposed on me and create a reasonably decent life for myself, wife and kids. Oh, and my parents made me turn out my lights at no later than 10 on school nights until I went to college. But that was back in those benighted days when parents didn’t care what their children thought about any decision they made. Some people actually call them the “good old days.” How ridiculous.

Going veg

By Katherine S., 9, KIDS FIRST! critic

I love this film! It is a fun and heartwarming movie that I think families will love, too. It is a sequel to the original Dolphin Tale, where Winter, a stranded dolphin, was injured and a team of people care for and give her a prosthetic tail. It is now three years later, and Nathan Gamble and Cozi Zuehlsdorff return as Sawyer and Hazel, along with a star-studded cast of Morgan Freeman as the doctor, Ashley Judd as Hazel’s mom, Harry Connick Jr. and Kris Kristoferson as Sawyer’s dad and grandfather. This time, Winter’s mother dies, and the team needs to find her a new companion or they will lose her to another aquarium. Soon, they get a call about a new dolphin they are thinking of putting her with. Now the question is, will it work out? Sawyer is also faced with an opportunity of a lifetime, but he struggles with the decision of whether to stay and care for Winter or go on a new adventure. My favorite part is when Sawyer swims in the tank with Winter and the real Bethanie Hamilton, who makes a guest appearance as herself. I also love when they rescue Mandy, another hurt dolphin and potential companion for Winter. And the Pelican provides great comic relief — it is especially funny when they are X-raying a rescued sea turtle and the pelican goes crazy! My favorite character is Sawyer, who does an amazing job in this film, showing a range of emotions — looking worried, happy and confused as he faces tough decisions for Winter and for his future. The sets in the film are spectacular — at both the ocean and inside the aquarium. The cinematography by Daryn Okada is awesome, especially the underwater photography. One of the main messages in this film is “to never give up.” Another is that “change is good. But to experience new things, sometimes you have to leave old things behind.” Dolphin Tale 2 is a great family film. I recommend it for both boys and girls ages 6 to 18, but adults will love it, too, because, who doesn’t love dolphins? I rate this 5 out of 5 stars. Dolphin Tale 2 opened in theaters everywhere Sept. 12.

It’s also Manhattan’s highest rating since the season premiere, which could indicate a renewed interest from the public. uuu

Earthlings have created some amazing characters, Yott. I’m reading about a giant farmer named Febold Feboldson!

Sounds like a tall tale to me, Zott!

ome years the Great Plains swarm with grasshoppers. But this was not a problem for Febold Feboldson! He brought in a prairie schooner full of flying fish. Those flying fish swooped over the plains, eating grasshoppers until there were none left!

Find the flying fish twins.

About 150 years ago, thousands of pioneers began heading for rich farmland in Oregon and later, for gold in California. After crossing the Mississippi River they came to the wide, flat prairie we now call the Great Plains. From these Great Plains have come tales of a giant Swedish farmer called Febold Feboldson.

he first year Febold Feboldson settled on the Great Plains it was hot. And it got hotter every day: hotter and drier, drier and hotter. It was so hot that iron pots melted! When the streams dried up and Febold Feboldson couldn’t go fishing, he said, “Enough!” Febold sat down and cupped his jaw in his giant hand, and thought and thought — until suddenly he came up with a plan. First he splashed some water on a hot and tired frog and whispered in its ear, “It’s raining!” The happy frog croaked the news to his frog friends. Soon more frogs joined in the song. They got so loud that it sounded like thunder! Some clouds heard the noise and hurried to join the storm. Seeing there was no storm when they got to the Great Plains, the clouds went ahead and started their own, giving Febold Feboldson a rainstorm and a chance to get back to fishing.

CROSS-COUNTRY

Hilltoppers earn team title at Everybody Invite INSIDE

By James Barron

Los Alamos senior John Rees keeps pace with Estancia’s Augie Montoya during the Academy for Technology and the Classics Everybody Invitational on Saturday. Rees took third and helped the Hilltoppers to the team title.

The New Mexican

While the rest of the field tried to chase the pack of green and gold, Los Alamos was simply focusing on racing as a pack. For a cross-country program that has won the last five Class AAAA (now AAAAA) girls titles and three in a row on the boys side, this is how it’s done. After a solid performance at last weekend’s University of New Mexico Invitational, the boys and girls from the hill opted to work on team strategy at the less-stressful Academy for Technology and the Classics Everybody Invitational on Saturday.

So the pack time of 52 seconds between Los Alamos’ top boys runner Greg Ahlers and No. 7 finisher Skyler McCall was exactly what Hilltoppers co-head coaches Rob and Kathy Hipwood wanted from this meet. They were equally happy with the 1:24 gap between overall winner Maddie Foley and No. 6 runner Katy Stockton as the Lady Hilltoppers took six of the top 10 spots in the girls division. That led to three trophies for one of the most decorated programs in the state — and perhaps

the country — for it to take home. The boys won with a low score of 30 points, while the girls tallied 23 to top the 21-team field at ATC. The Hipwoods made pack times a high priority, especially for the girls team. “The girls really embraced the idea of a little different strategy,” said Rob Hipwood. “We thought this was a great meet to do something a little different.” So top runners Foley and Sophia Galvez held back some for the first of two laps round the approximately 2.9-mile course before using the second lap to force the pace and leave the rest of the field behind. Foley won in 18 minutes, 33 seconds while Galvez was

31 seconds behind. For the second year in a row, Galvez rebounded from a rough UNM Invite to finish in the top three at ATC. Foley encouraged the junior, saying, “Come on Sophie” during the final half-mile. “She’s usually right there [near the top of the field], so it’s important for everyone to encourage everyone else,” Foley said. “She bounces back and finishes really well.” While Galvez bounced back, Cassie CdeBaca started her redemption tour.

PREP FOOTBALL ST. MICHAEL’S 26, TAOS 6

Passing team runs to victory By Will Webber The New Mexican

S

t. Michael’s football coach Joey Fernandez has never diagrammed a passing play he didn’t like. It’s no secret the winningest coach in school history prefers to employ a strong aerial attack, one that maintains a vertical threat and spreads the field from sideline to sideline. It requires a good decision-maker in the pocket and a line that can maintain protection from start to finish. When it comes to his 2014 Horsemen squad, however, those plays might best be left on the drawing board. Moving the ball on the ground is becoming his team’s modus operandi. Once again relying on the 1-2 punch of running backs Nathanyal Leyba and Xavier Vigil, St. Michael’s (3-0) scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to take a 26-6 win over previously undefeated Taos (2-1) on Saturday afternoon at the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex. Vigil had a pair of rushing touchdowns to go with Leyba’s back-breaking 54-yard run in the fourth quarter as the Horsemen extended their regular season winning streak to 33 games. Asked whether his team’s identity was more closely tied to the run or the pass, Vigil said only time will tell. “But our running game is going good,” he said. “I think we’re a passing team, too, but we’ve done a good job running the ball so far this year.” That tact was the catalyst for sustained drives and critical points in wins over Santa Fe High and Capital to start the season. The Horsemen all but abandoned the run for two quarters against Capital, allowing the Jaguars to stick around for a lot longer than some may have expected. When they went back to the run, they slammed the door. Such was the case Saturday against Taos. From the outset the game was a battle of field position — and special

Taos QB was under pressure all day, sacked 9 times By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

T

o say Kevin McCarty had a rough day on Saturday is an understatement. The Taos quarterback was sacked nine times in a 26-6 loss nondistrict to St. Michael’s at the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex. In addi-

tion, the senior only completed five of his 17 pass attempts. McCarty was eventually pulled from the game with just over five minutes left in favor of junior quarterback Mateo Sandoval, who finished 1-for-10 with a late interception that set the Horsemen up for a victory formation. “I just didn’t get rid of the ball quick

enough,” McCarty said. McCarty first went down on Taos’ second play for a 10-yard loss at the St. Michael’s 11 yard line and was sacked two more times by the end of the opening quarter. His next one was a sack-fumble that gave St. Michael’s (3-0) possession at the Taos 14. Two plays later, St. Michael’s running back

Xavier Vigil was in the end zone for a 6-0 lead. McCarty made up for it by completing two passes on Taos’ next drive before capping it off with a one-yard touchdown run with 2:20 left in the first half to knot the score at 6-6, but his day would not get any better.

Gordon covets elusive fifth title as Chase begins By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

JOLIET, Ill. — Jeff Gordon hopped off a plane, his typical polished self, ready for a full day of appearances to promote NASCAR’s championship race. Then he glanced down at his black polo and saw for the first time the thick, white streaks of deodorant that had soiled his shirt. “What a rookie move!” he crowed before he bee-lined for the closest bathroom. Gordon had been rushed that morning. His wife, Ingrid, had been in New York City at Fashion Rocks, and the NASCAR superstar was home alone with his two small children. It made for a frenzied morning of getting Ella and Leo up and out the door to school,

while also getting himself ready for a whirlwind media tour through Toronto. The end result was a shirt stained with deodorant streaks on a driver known for an aplomb that made him the first NASCAR star to dazzle the suits on Madison Ave. The height of his success was almost 20 years ago, when a young Gordon collected 40 wins in four seasons and won championships in 1995, 1997 and 1998. By the time he added his fourth championship, in 2001, Gordon could do no wrong. He had a pretty wife, an appeal that brought in new NASCAR fans and opened doors that drivers had never been through before: Gordon is the first and only NASCAR driver to host Saturday Night Live.

But life has changed so much in the 13 years since. Gordon went through a public divorce, eventually remarried and started a family. And on the track, well, the wins were no longer so easy. Now, at 43 years old, his passion for racing and winning has been revived. Gordon wants nothing more than to win his fifth series title — the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway — and he has the full support of his family in chasing his goal. When Ingrid, who didn’t know Gordon when he was an annual threat for the championship, asked him what it would take to win a title, Gordon explained that it needed his full commitment. “Meetings and testing and being well rested, trying not to have too many distractions,” Gordon said in an

interview with The Associated Press. “There’s a fine line between balancing that out and being a good parent and a good race car driver. Those moments come where the team schedules a test and you’d be all, ‘Oh, well we had this scheduled is there any way you can move that?’ But Ingrid is like ‘OK, you do what you have to do.’ “When we haven’t won championships, we’ve had conversations of ‘What could I have done to help? What can the team do?’ all these things, and some of those conversations lead to ‘You know, there’s some things that I can do that would improve my commitment to the team.’ ” These weren’t the kind of problems Gordon had to consider in the first half of his career. He won nearly 60 races before his 30th birthday, and

really could do no wrong. He moved to Florida with his first wife and lived far away from the Hendrick Motorsports crew doing the grunt work on his race car. “When you are winning all the time, you can get away with a lot of stuff,” Gordon said. “When I moved to Florida, I’d come to the shop every couple of weeks, and people hardly ever saw me. As long as we won one every fifth race, I don’t care if I don’t see you again for a year.” But when the wins tapered off, the problems began. “When you are not winning, it’s all about the details, and ‘Where is Jeff? Is he working as hard as we’re working? Is he as committed as we are?’ ” Gordon said. “I don’t ever want there to be questions about my commitment.”

Taos sets sportsmanship example SCOREBOARD Soccer team lets opponent win after player knocked out The New Mexican

Mazatl Galindo called it an example of sportsmanship at its best. The Monte del Sol boys soccer coach said his team’s 2-1 win at Taos on Saturday paled in comparison to the gesture bestowed upon his team by Taos head coach Michael Monte del Sol 2 Hensley. With the score Taos 1 tied at 1-1 late in the second half, Monte del Sol’s Shalto Dascher went to clear a ball out of his own end with a header. As he did, he collided with a Taos player and fell to the turf. Galindo said the blow rendered Dascher unconscious. Emergency personnel responded immediately, taking him off the pitch in an ambulance. “We wanted the game to be over but it would have meant a forfeit,” Galindo said. “That’s when their coach [Hensley] said we should end the game a different way.”

Hensley suggested that Monte del Sol be allowed to score an uncontested goal to give the Dragons a 2-1 lead. Both teams would then agree to end the match at that point. After discussing the option with his team, Galindo chose foreign exchange student Mamadu Singare to trot onto the field. “It was a symbolic goal, a symbolic win,” Galindo said. “It was sportsmanship for Taos to let us score like that. It was their win, too.” He said he chose Singare, who is from Mali, because it seemed the ideal way to end things. “He is an exchange student, here to experience the best,” Galindo said. Galindo said players from both teams, including a handful of Taos parents, drove to the hospital to check on Dascher’s status. As of Saturday night, Galindo said Dascher was out of the emergency room and heading home with his family. “We will not forget this,” the coach said. CAPITAL 5, LOS ALAMOS 1 Although the Jaguars (6-1-1) and Hilltoppers (3-4-2) are normally District 2AAAAA rivals, the two met in the consolation bracket of the Albuquerque Academy Invita-

tional for what Capital head coach Eugene Doyle described as a “friendly match.” “Both teams were really banged up,” Doyle said. “It was a match to get ready for districts. We really didn’t want to beat each other up.” Seniors Guillermo Navarette and Bayron Sican were out with injuries for Capital, but it didn’t stop the Jaguars from scoring all their goals in the first half. Sophomore Victor Lozoya had two goals while Jesus Garcia, Alexis Zapata and Lawrence Baumgartner each had one. The two teams meet again for district play at Sullivan Field on Sept. 23.

SANTA FE PREPARATORY 4, REHOBOTH 0 The Blue Griffins continue to spread the wealth as four different players had goals in a nondistrict win over the Lynx at Brennand Field. Gabe Purvis, Adam Weyrauch, Logan Sullivan and Griffin Sides all found nylon for Prep in its second straight shutout. “They’re looking for each other and finding opportunities,” Prep head coach Hersch Wilson said. “It takes a lot of pressure off of Logan and Sam [Brill].” The Blue Griffins have two more matches before starting District 2A-AAAA play against Desert Academy at Alto Park on Sept. 25.

Continued from Page D-1 teams. The punters for both clubs got a decent workout as the score remained 0-0 until a pair of turnovers got things going. The first was an interception in the end zone by defensive back Adam Vigil; the second a fumble recovery just moments later that set up a redzone conversion by St. Michael’s. Horsemen linebacker Chris Romero jarred the ball loose when he drilled Taos quarterback Kevin McCarty inside his own 15-yard line. Defensive tackle Jared Baca fell on it, setting up a two-play drive that ended with Vigil running through traffic up the middle for an 11-yard touchdown run to put St. Michael’s up 6-0. The Tigers tied it on the very next drive when McCarty dove across the goal line from a yard out with 2 minutes, 20 seconds left in the half. Neither team converted their extra point tries, keeping it 6-all at the break. The second half turned into a punting showcase as neither offense could get things going. The Horsemen continuously put pressure on McCarty, sacking him nine times before he was pulled in favor of backup Mateo Sandoval in the fourth quarter. St. Michael’s also contained running back Lorenzo Rael. One of the state’s leading rushers, he was hemmed between the numbers most of the afternoon and never did get much going. “We didn’t want Rael getting outside because he’s a quick little back and we know that’s what he likes to do,” Fernandez said. “I think we knew we could put pressure on [McCarty], but

we knew we had to keep [Rael] inside.” Taos had seven possessions in the second half and managed to generate just two first downs. The Tigers punted four times, turned it over on downs twice and had their final drive halted by a Vigil interception that was returned for a touchdown but called back for an illegal block on Leyba during the return. The breakthrough came in the waning moments of the third quarter when the Horsemen drove 57 yards to kickstart a 20-0 run to end the game. That drive ended on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Isaac Chavez to Julio Cesar Garcia to make it 12-6. The next two Horsemen

drives covered 80 and 68 yards, both resulting in scores; the first on Leyba’s 54-yard run midway through the fourth quarter. “I don’t know if we’re really a running team just yet because our quarterbacks can throw the ball pretty good,” Leyba said. “We just need to protect better. It will come.” Vigil closed out the scoring with five minutes remaining when he lunged across the goal line on a 5-yard run up the middle, making it 26-6. For Taos, it was a game that could have solidified its reputation among AAAA’s elite this season. Afterward, Tigers head coach Flavio Lopez said his team did more to cost itself the game than the Horsemen did to

win it. In either case, he assured his players that they’ll likely get another shot at St. Michael’s come playoff time. Until then, the Horsemen have seven more weeks to figure out their identity. That’s seven more regular season games to develop a passing game that continues the timetested style that has made the Horsemen such a multi-dimensional offensive threat under Fernandez. “The good thing is we know we can get the running game going when we have to, but you don’t want to need those long runs every drive to keep things going,” he said. “You need to be able to pass the ball, and that’s something we’re going to continue working on. We have to.”

Mayweather bitten but remains unbeaten LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Floyd Mayweather worked far too hard against Marcos Maidana their last time out to have to do it again in the rematch Saturday night. Mayweather dominated Maidana from the opening bell, using his boxing skills to keep the Argentine off balance and pile up points on his way to a unanimous 12-round

decision to retain his welterweight and super welterweight titles before a crowd at the MGM Grand that sometimes booed the lack of action. It almost came at a cost, though, in a bizarre scene in the eighth round when Mayweather claimed that Maidana bit him on his wrist while they were in a clinch near the center of the ring. “He bit me!” Mayweather yelled to the Showtime announcers working ringside. Mayweather remained unbeaten in his remarkable 18-year pro career, winning for

He’s just one of those kids that takes it personal when stuff happens. I love Kevin to death, but sometimes he’s his own worst enemy. But he’s a good kid, and I wouldn’t trade him for anyone.” McCarty leanred a valuable lesson about having a quick release, but he admits there is still a lot to be done to improve the Taos passing game. “I’ll watch film and see what the problem is, and we’ll work on it on Monday,” he said.

Though he wasn’t marked up, he was upset over the bite. The Associated Press

She missed out on last week’s UNM Invite because she was with the volleyball team in Tucumcari, but she was front and center with the rest of the Lady Hilltoppers for most of the race. Pecos head coach Victor Ortiz said CdeBaca has a better handle on her busy schedule, which includes six sports for the season. “She’s figured out what she can do, what she can’t do,” Ortiz said. “I think she’ll be all right.” The Pecos boys are showing they are more than just all right. With sophomore Julian Garcia able to run after a foot injury, he helped the Panthers to a runner-up finish to Los Alamos, with a 110, which was 15 points better than Pojoaque. The pack times for Pecos were encouraging, with a 1:47 split between 10th-place Ryan Sandoval and Carlos Cordova, who took 50th. Garcia was 32nd with 17:47 and was the Panthers’ last scoring runner. “He’s another good runner for us,” Ortiz said. “Last year [at the state meet], he was our second runner. For him showing up and running today made a big difference. And he felt good, too.” Not everybody had as good a day. Pojoaque Valley’s girls team struggled to finish fifth, but the teams in front of the Elkettes should concern them.

The win was the 39th in a row over an in-state opponent for the Buckeyes (2-1), who haven’t lost since a 7-6 setback to Oberlin in 1921.

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE

Boise State defeats UConn, scores twice on defense The Associated Press

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Grant Hedrick threw two touchdowns to Matt Miller and caught one from the senior receiver on a trick play as Boise State beat UConn 38-21 on Saturday. Boise State (2-1) also got two touchdowns from its defense, which held UConn (1-2) to 48 yards rushing Boise State 38 and sacked the UConn 21 Huskies quarterbacks eight times. Hedrick found Miller for a 35-yard score in the second quarter, and Miller returned the favor on a trick play a few minutes later, hitting Hedrick for a 7-yard score after getting the ball on an end-around. A 9-yard strike from Hedrick to Miller in the back of the end zone gave the Broncos a 31-21 lead in the fourth quarter after UConn had closed the gap to three points. Boise State running back Jay Ajayi, who came in averaging 158 yards a game and nearly 6 yards a run, was held to just 39 yards on 18 carries. AIR FORCE 48, GEORGIA STATE 38 In Atlanta, a 35-point improvement in points scored had Kale Pearson feeling good about Air Force’s growth. Pearson was personally responsible for many of those points. Pearson threw two touchdown passes and added two scoring runs to lead Air Force past Georgia State 48-38 in the Falcons’ first game in a dome in 20 years. One week after the Falcons’ 17-13 loss to Wyoming, Air Force had 539 total yards and scored on five of seven

first-half possessions. Pearson threw touchdown passes of 37 and 22 yards to Garrett Brown. Jacobi Owens ran for 122 yards and two touchdowns for Air Force (2-1). “I think we’re growing as a team,” Pearson said. “Those first two games there were opportunities there we didn’t capitalize on. Today we took advantage of those opportunities.” Air Force’s offense needed a big game to hold off Georgia State (1-2), which gained 549 yards and tried to rally with two fourth-quarter touchdowns.

“We knew the whole game their offense was powerful,” Pearson said. “They’re explosive.” “I was kind of honestly nervous the whole game. It seemed they were making big plays every time I turned around. It’s nice to get out of here with a W.” Pearson completed 12 of 15 passes for 224 yards. N. ILLINOIS 48, UNLV 34 In Las Vegas, Northern Illinois ran up more than 600 yards in total offense, but the Huskies still needed to hold off a furious rally by UNLV to beat the Reb-

N. Arizona outgains Highlands The New Mexican

Northern Arizona rolled up 571 yards off total offense, getting five touchdown passes from its two quarterbacks in a 62-23 rout of New Mexico Highlands in college football action in Flagstaff, Ariz., on Saturday night. Highlands (0-2) got 336 yards passing and three touchdowns from quarterback Lance Orender, but it wasn’t nearly enough to top the 24th-ranked team in the latest Football Championship Subdivision media poll. The Lumberjacks (2-1) broke

the game open in the second quarter, scoring 24 points to take a 34-10 lead at halftime. Quarterback Kyren Poe started the game and finished with 241 yards and three touchdowns. He gave way to backup Chase Cartwright, who threw for another pair of scores before it was over. NMHU running back Tyler Slavin had 126 yards and two touchdowns while linebacker Jared Koster had 11 tackles, including a sack. In two games this season, the Cowboys have been outscored 106-44.

Northern Arizona never trailed, scoring on its initial drive when Alex Holmes caught a 23-yard pass from Poe to make it 7-0. After a 33-yard Patrick Carney field goal got the Cowboys on the scoreboard, NAU rattled off the next 27 points to assume a 34-3 lead late in the first half. NMHU returns home to face Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival Western New Mexico next weekend. It will be the conference opener for both teams, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. at Perkins Stadium.

els 48-34 Saturday night. The victory extended Northern Illinois’ streak to 17 consecutive road wins, dating to 2012. The Huskies (3-0) held a 23-point lead in the third quarter before UNLV (1-2) scored three touchdowns and eventually tied the game 34-34 on a 9-yard scoring run by Shaquille MurrayLawrence and a two-point conversion in the fourth period. But Northern Illinois broke the tie quickly on its next drive, getting a 54-yard touchdown pass from Drew Hare to Da’Ron Brown to regain the lead, 41-34. The Huskies gave themselves an additional cushion with an 80-yard scoring drive after safety Marlon Moore intercepted a pass by UNLV’s Blake Decker in the end zone. Hare completed 18 of 28 passes for 285 yards and three touchdowns as the Huskies finished with 616 total yards. Hare also ran for 74 yards and a touchdown. Northern Illinois rushed for 331 yards, with Cameron Stingily leading a group of nine rushers with 102 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns. Decker led the Rebels with 397 yards passing, completing 24 of 42 passes for two touchdowns. UNLV had 499 yards of total offense. The Rebels almost pulled off a comeback after scoring three times in the third quarter. A roughing-the-punter call on Northern Illinois gave UNLV new life when the Rebels were deep in their own territory, and they converted it into a 53-yard scoring pass from Decker to Devante Davis. UTAH STATE 36, WAKE FOREST 24 In Logan, Utah, Utah State scored defensive touchdowns off a pair of first half turnovers and held Wake Forest to

minus 25 yards rushing in a 36-24 win that marked its first win over an ACC team. Darrell Garretson had 121 yards and a touchdown on 11-of-16 passing for the Aggies (2-1) in relief of an injured Chuckie Keeton in the second half. Keeton threw for 166 yards and a touchdown on 20-of-27 passing in the first half. The junior came up limping after getting hit on an option play near the end of the half. Keeton spent the entire second half on crutches on the USU sideline. John Wolford threw for 257 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Demon Deacons (1-2). But the true freshman also tossed two interceptions and completed just 20-of-50 passes. He was also sacked six times. Trailing 29-7 at halftime, Wake Forest briefly rallied in the third quarter after getting a major offensive spark following a turnover. Hunter Williams picked off Garretson on his first pass attempt and returned it 32 yards to set up a 3-yard TD pass from Wolford to Isaiah Robinson. Then, after forcing a Utah State punt, Wake Forest put together a 78-yard drive covering seven plays - culminating in a 10-yard grab by E.J. Scott in the back of the end zone to make it 29-21 halfway through the third quarter. Utah State halted the comeback with its own touchdown drive later in the quarter. Garretson found Ronald Butler for a 42-yard pass to get into Demon Deacon territory, setting up a 5 yard strike to Wyatt Houston two plays later and giving USU a 36-21 lead. Mike Weaver kicked a 30-yard field goal to cut the lead to twelve with 1:01 left in the third. The Demon Deacons could get no closer.

UTEP continues streak over NMSU The New Mexican

EL PASO — Aaron Jones ran for 168 yards and scored two touchdowns to help Texas-El Paso beat New Mexico State 42-24 Saturday night. Jones has surpassed 100 yards in all three games this year for UTEP (2-1). Tyler Rogers threw a 57-yard touchdown pass to Teldrick Morgan to bring New Mexico State (2-1) within two scores early in the fourth quarter. But UTEP answered with a 70-yard touchdown drive, completed

by Jones’ 1-yard punch-in that took 7:25 off the clock. New Mexico State was intercepted on the ensuing possession, and UTEP scored again to take a 42-17 lead. Rogers threw two touchdown passes and ran for one score, amassing 324 passing yards. Xavier Hall had 44 yards rushing for the Aggies, a team high. Brandon Betancourt had 35 yards while Rogers had the lone rushing touchdown on the night. Teldrick Morgan was NMSU’s top receiver with eight catches for 202

yards and a score. Jones has had a monster season for UTEP, rushing for 237 against New Mexico, 147 against Texas Tech and 68 against the Aggies. It was the Miners’ sixth straight victory over the Aggies in the regional rivalry, and it gave UTEP a sweep of the state’s lone FBS teams in New Mexico and New Mexico State. The Miners opened the season with a win at UNM two weeks ago. New Mexico State will host the Lobos next weekend in Las Cruces.

NFL Week 2

By Benjamn Hoffman

DOLPHINS (1-0) AT BILLS (1-0)

ing yards and a touchdown on three carries last Sunday. PICK: VIKINGS.

Line: Dolphins by 1. Time: 11 a.m., CBS Miami’s Ryan Tannehill knows the feeling of being facedown on the turf with a 300-pound defensive lineman using his back to get up to celebrate. Tannehill was in that position a league-high 93 times in his first two seasons. In between the sacks last season, Tannehill passed for 24 touchdowns and nearly 4,000 yards. Last Sunday, the NFL found out what happens when Tannehill’s teammates keep him on his feet, as the Dolphins engineered a comeback win over the New England Patriots and looked like a team that might be headed for big things. PICK: DOLPHINS.

FALCONS (1-0) AT BENGALS (1-0) Line: Bengals by 5. Time: 11 a.m., CBS Atlanta’s 2013 season was going bad before it lost receiver Julio Jones to a foot injury after five games. The Falcons continued to sputter, and they finished 4-12, their first losing season since 2007, the year before Matt Ryan took over from Joey Harrington as quarterback. PICK: FALCONS.

LIONS (1-0) AT PANTHERS (1-0) Line: Panthers by 2½. Time: 11 a.m., Fox Rookie wide receivers generally get off to slow starts, but Kelvin Benjamin, the Panthers’ first-round draft pick from Florida State, had 92 receiving yards and a touchdown in his debut despite Derek Anderson being forced into action at quarterback because Cam Newton was out with a rib injury. PICK: PANTHERS.

PATRIOTS (0-1) AT VIKINGS (1-0) Line: Patriots by 3½. Time: 11 a.m., CBS In 2013, Minnesota traded the electric Percy Harvin, who could make plays as a receiver, a running back or a returner. To help make up for the loss, they made a draft-day trade with New England to select Cordarrelle Patterson out of Tennessee. It cost the Vikings four picks, but it appears well worth it, as his 109-yard kickoff return set an NFL record last season and he had 102 rush-

BASEBALL

The New York Times

COWBOYS (0-1) AT TITANS (1-0) Line: Titans by 3½. Time: 11 a.m., Fox Dallas has finished with an 8-8 record in three consecutive seasons. Matching that this season might be difficult if Week 1 was any indication. The Cowboys were inept on offense, repeatedly giving the ball away, and on defense they could do nothing to stop San Francisco until the 49ers showed mercy and started running the ball. This game should be more of the same, with Tony Romo’s high-risk style being a bad strategy against a solid Tennessee defense. PICK: TITANS.

CARDINALS (1-0) AT GIANTS (0-1) Line: Cardinals by 2½. Time: 11 a.m., Fox Arizona picked up where it left off last season, with the defense proving capable even after losing important players to free agency and injury. PICK: CARDINALS.

SAINTS (0-1) AT BROWNS (0-1) Line: Saints by 6½. Time: 11 a.m., Fox New Orleans had no problems on offense in Week 1, with Brandin Cooks, a rookie wide receiver, seamlessly joining Marques Colston and Jimmy Graham in a devastating aerial game. The Saints’ defense, however, reverted to its 2012 futility and let Matt Ryan will the Falcons to victory. Cleveland does not have Matt Ryan. PICK: SAINTS.

JAGUARS (0-1) AT REDSKINS (0-1) Line: Redskins by 5½. Time: 11 a.m., CBS Only Washington’s running game was working in Week 1, so it was curious to see coach Jay Gruden stubbornly call for 40 passing plays and only 20 runs. He has vowed to commit more to Alfred Morris this time, and Jacksonville should not be expected to put up much of a fight. PICK: REDSKINS.

SEAHAWKS (1-0) AT CHARGERS (0-1) Line: Seahawks by 6.

Time: 2:05 p.m., Fox Some gambling sites are taking bets on the number of times San Diego will throw a pass in the direction of Richard Sherman, the Seattle cornerback who did not have one thrown to a receiver he was covering in a Week 1 win over Green Bay. PICK: SEAHAWKS.

CHIEFS (0-1) AT BRONCOS (1-0) Line: Broncos by 13. Time: 2:25 p.m., CBS Kansas City went 11-3 against non-Denver teams last season but took it on the chin in its two games against the Broncos, losing by a combined score of 62-45. Even so, this game’s 13-point spread seems generous. PICK: BRONCOS.

JETS (1-0) AT PACKERS (0-1) Line: Packers by 8½. Time: 2:25 p.m., CBS A win against any team counts in the standings, but in the gauging of a team’s quality, it is hard to put much stock in the Jets’ opening-week victory against hapless Oakland. On Sunday, the Packers will reassert themselves as NFC contenders. PICK: PACKERS.

TEXANS (1-0) AT RAIDERS (0-1) Line: Texans by 3. Time: 2:25 p.m., CBS Facing a rookie quarterback in Derek Carr, J.J. Watt should keep things turned up, and Houston should match its 2013 win total. PICK: TEXANS.

RAMS (0-1) AT BUCCANEERS (0-1) Line: Buccaneers by 6. Time: 2:05 p.m., Fox The only unit worth watching on an injury-plagued St. Louis team is the front seven, which has the ability to punish opposing quarterbacks. With Chris Long, a standout defensive end, out for six weeks after ankle surgery, even that unit might fall apart. PICK: BUCCANEERS.

BEARS (0-1) AT 49ERS (1-0) Line: 49ers by 7. Time: 6:30 p.m., NBC An underwhelming Chicago defense may be embarrassed on national television and could end up 0-2 for the first time since 2003. PICK: 49ERS.

issued a statement saying the commissioner “has always had the best interests of football at heart” and “we are fortunate to have him.” Earlier in the week, former Cowboys executive Gil Brandt made it clear why that sentiment exists: “Owners not moving on from Goodell,” Brandt tweeted. “Record broadcast contracts, team-friendly (collective bargaining agreement), $1bn+ franchise valuations, etc. Follow the money.” The money is the key. “If the thing keeps spiraling and you get a boycott by sponsors, that’s checkmate,” Morgenstein said. “Nobody cares until the money starts getting pulled out.” But so far, that hasn’t happened. And though Americans may be suspicious of Goodell, they show no signs of turning off the TV. The CBS broadcast of Thursday Night Football, featuring the embattled Ravens against the Steelers, drew more than 20 million viewers. Much of the fanfare prepared for the broadcast was toned down, in deference to the news surrounding the game. CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said, “It’s important to realize we are not overacting to this story, but it is as big a story as has faced the NFL.”

Dodgers roll over Giants, extend lead in division The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Zack Greinke pitched six scoreless innings and hit his fourth career home run, and the Dodgers romped past the Giants on Saturday Dodgers 17 to build on Giants 0 their lead in the NL West. Greinke (15-8) gave up hits to two of the first three batters he faced then retired 16 of the next 18. He struck out five. The Dodgers extended their division lead to two games over the Giants.

He struck out five and walked two. YANKEES 3, ORIOLES 2 In Baltimore, Chris Young stole home in his latest surprising September performance, and the New York Yankees beat AL East-leading Baltimore 3-2, ending the Orioles’ longest winning streak of the season at six. The Yankees bounced back after being swept in a doubleheader Friday. New York stayed on the fringe of the wild-card race while Baltimore’s magic number for clinching the division remained at five. ANGELS 5, ASTROS 2 In Aneheim, Calif., Jered Weaver earned his AL-leading 17th win, Mike Trout homered twice and the Angels reduced their magic number for clinching the AL West to four with a victory over the Astros. The Angels extended their winning streak to 10 games — one off the franchise record set in 1964 — improving to a major league-best 93-55. Weaver (17-8) allowed a run and four hits through seven innings with a season-high 12 strikeouts. RANGERS 3, BRAVES 2 In Arlington, Texas, Rougned Odor’s go-ahead double gave fellow rookie Lisalverto Bonilla a win in his first major league start, and the last-place Rangers handed the Braves another setback in their push for an NL wild-card spot.

‘The Simpsons’ toasts 25 years with songs, stars

Jazz-funk pioneer Joe Sample dies at 75

Bart and Lisa Simpson, Chief Wiggam and son Ralph, bartender Moe and Apu from Kwik-EMart came to the Hollywood Bowl to celebrate 25 years of The Simpsons. Those characters are all performed by three actors — Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith and Hank Azaria — who hosted the world premiere of The Simpsons Take the Bowl at the legendary Los Angeles concert venue Friday. Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer and former Simpsons writer Conan O’Brien were among the special guests for the program.

HOUSTON — Pianist and composer Joe Sample, a founding member of the genrecrossing Jazz Crusaders who helped pioneer the electronic jazz-funk fusion style, has died at age 75. His manager, Patrick Rains, said Saturday that Sample died of complications due to lung cancer Friday evening at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, with his family at his bedside. Rains says Sample was “a seminal figure in the transition from acoustic to electronic music in the jazz field in the late ’60s and early ’70s” with his band, which later called itself The Crusaders.

Twitter erupts as rapper’s offer to school is declined

Nicki Minaj

NEW YORK — Last Thursday, Nicki Minaj, a rapper known for her racy lyrics, avant-garde fashion choices, and un-self-conscious celebration of her physical assets posted on Twitter, where she has 18.1 million followers, that the principal of her alma mater, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts in Manhattan, had turned down her offer to speak there. “I wanted to go back to my HS and speak to the students but the new principal declined,” Minaj, 31, wrote. “No need for me to inspire them, I guess.”

Rampant Ebola fear takes toll on Africa tourism By Rodney Muhumuza The Associated Press

KAMPALA, Uganda — Ebola is thousands of miles away from Kenya’s pristine Indian Ocean beaches, but the deadly disease appears to be discouraging tourism there and elsewhere in this vast continent. Harald Kampa, a hotelier near Mombasa, says the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is hurting his business. For two weeks in August he had no international arrivals at his Diani Sea Resort, leading him to suspect that Ebola had frightened away his clients. He noticed an improvement only after Kenya Airways canceled flights to the Ebola-hit West African nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia, action that the local tourism fraternity said was necessary to assure tourists of Kenya’s determination to keep Ebola out. Kampa is not alone. Tour operators across Africa say they face difficulties as the Ebola outbreak, which has killed more than 2,200 people in four countries, continues to defy international efforts to control it. Tourism, a major source of revenue for many African countries — especially Kenya and South Africa — is increasingly being hurt as some potential visitors hesitate over visiting the continent which is home to the disease. In Nigeria, where there have been very few Ebola cases, occupancy rates in five-star hotels in the commercial capital Lagos have fallen drastically, with many conferences postponed until further notice, said Nigerian economist Bismarck Rewane of the Financial Derivatives Co. Occupancy rates now generally hover around 30 percent instead of 65 percent at this time of year, and the drop is even higher for bar and restaurant traffic in Lagos, he said. “I think people are less inclined to mix with others. … People are now more cautious about mingling,” he said. In South Africa there is “alarm in the market” stem-

ming from misconceptions about how the Ebola virus can be contracted and the location of the affected countries, said the Tourism Business Council of South Africa. Although there have been no Ebola cases reported in South Africa, many in its tourism industry fear a downturn. The current Ebola outbreak is “a big deal” and has raised “significant” concerns over African travel, said Blake Fleetwood, president of New York-based Cook Travel. Roughly half the people booking through his agency canceled trips, he said. Some clients “figure somebody from Sierra Leone is going to go to Morocco and the infection is going to spread through the continent,” he said. Some trips to Egypt and Morocco have been scrapped and at least 14 groups booked for safaris in Kenya or South Africa have been canceled, he said. Even though the World Health Organization and international trade groups say there is low risk of transmitting the virus during air travel, major airlines such as British Airways, Kenya Airways and Air France have canceled flights to some Ebola-hit countries. South Africa’s government last month issued a travel ban for all non-South Africans traveling from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, three of five West African countries battling Ebola. Kenya’s government has taken similar action. Apes and monkeys are often mentioned by health experts as possible carriers of the virus. That may hurt the gorilla tourism in Rwanda and Uganda where a permit to see the great apes their forested habitat costs about $600. “Ebola is associated with primates and Uganda is associated with primates,” said Amos Wekesa, a tour operator in the Ugandan capital of Kampala. “It just sends people out of the country,” Wekesa lamented. “In the mind of many travelers around the world, Africa is one country.”

Heated driveways: Goodbye to the snow shovel? By Diana Marszalek The Associated Press

While the rest of the neighborhood was digging out, Alex Geier had little problem leaving his Hinsdale, Ill., house around 7:30 each morning last winter, no matter how much snow had piled up during the night. No, Geier didn’t pay some kid to shovel at the crack of dawn, and he didn’t hire a private plow service. He and his family were able to navigate even snowy mornings with relative ease thanks to a heated driveway, which melts snow as soon as it hits it.

“It’s a classic example how you can’t put a price tag on peace of mind,” says Geier, who put in the (pricey) heated driveway when his house was built in 2005. “Given the climate of Chicago in the winter, it was really nice not to have to shovel.” As posh as it sounds, a whole lot of people are looking into heated driveways after an unusually harsh winter in much of the country. “It’s becoming more and more popular because of an aging population of boomers who are just tired of shoveling,” says Bryan Morris, director of sales for Warmzone, a Utah-based company that designs

and supplies radiant heat systems. “We sell a great deal to whoever gets snow.” David Veron, who owns The Veron Co., a landscape and design business in Marlborough, Mass., sees the popularity of heated driveways as part of a larger trend: Homeowners are trying to build outdoor spaces they can use yearround. In addition to driveways, his customers are heating walkways that lead to amenities such as hot tubs and fire pits. “It’s nice to sit around those in the winter,” Veron says.

This photo by Warmzone, a Utah-based radiant heating company, shows the inner workings of a heated driveway. After last year’s rough winter, heated driveways are more popular than ever, with a rising number of homeowners putting away their shovels for good. WARMZONE

The tween bedroom balancing act The challenge: Updating without losing all that childhood whimsy By Melissa Rayworth The Associated Press

Decorating a baby’s room is all about what Mom and Dad want. But decorating a bedroom for a “tween-age” child is more complicated. It’s a great place to give growing adolescents some creative freedom. But will they reject at age 12 the color palette and furniture they begged for when they were 10? Kids grow up fast enough that parents may not want to rush the process by removing all childhood whimsy from their rooms. But we also don’t want to redecorate each time our kids get just a bit more mature. So we’re left walking the line between playful and Mom-I-can’t-believe-you-bought-me-thisfurniture. Here, designers Michelle Workman of Michelle Workman Interiors, Brian Patrick Flynn of Flynnside Out Productions and Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design offer advice on designing a tween bedroom that has ample storage, homework space and enough cool style to keep kids happy year after year.

Garden adds life to historic courtyard

I

f you find yourself with the back-to-school blues, wondering where the summer went, a day trip to Taos may be just what you need. Located in the center of the road it was named after, the Kit Carson Home and Museum is the city’s oldest museum and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1963. Offering visitors an authentic glimpse of the famous frontiersman’s life back in the 1800s, the compound still boasts original features like adobe walls, uneven floors and low vigas. But before you take a step back in time inside, you’ll have to take a stroll through their newest exhibit outside: a beautiful courtyard garden, brimming with colorful, native Southwest plants and flowers. The garden is a relatively new attraction that was created in 2012 by a generous gift from museum board member Dee Dee Miller. The intention for planting the garden was to bring life and color to an area that was mainly dirt, with the exception of several volunteer hollyhocks that popped up each summer. According to the museum’s executive director, Karen Douglas, Carson and his wife, Josefa

Jaramillo, didn’t have a garden in the courtyard, but it is speculated that they shared a community garden plot in the back of their home, which is now part of the Taos Inn parking lot. Douglas describes the original condition

of the soil as tough as Carson himself: “It was like cement: dusty, unwelcoming. We needed to do something to make it more attractive to visitors.” With the help of a local garden group, Los Jardineros, the project was funded again the following year, and more varieties of hardy, indigenous plants were added to keep with the Southwest theme. The raised beds were made by businesswoman Melissa Serfling, owner of Melissa’s Red Cat Antiques. She designed the wooden frames using local wood. If you visit the museum soon, expect end-of-summer blooms such as yarrow (in a variety of colors), Agastache, California poppies, rosemary, columbine, bachelor’s buttons, Echinacea, penstemon, Veronica blue, coreopsis, zinnias, cosmos, Mexican hat and Shasta daisies, to name a few. Since many of these are pollinator-attractors, you’ll see a lot of hummingbird moths, small butterflies and bees. Regarding those wandering volunteers, the hollyhocks, Douglas says they leave them alone since they produce some of the showiest flowers. “They are our most popular flower

Visitors from all over the world ask about them, so we started gathering the seeds and selling them in small packets for $1.95.” Other native plants like chamisa, sage and succulents will be added to the garden next season, as will several fragrant, though non-native, lilac trees that have adapted well to Taos’ soil. Douglas says visitors can look forward to more events at the museum next year.

Tween: Use a wall for cabinet storage

DO IT YOURSELF

Continued from Page E-1

The new fire pit in use at the home of writer Bob Tedeschi in Guilford, Conn. Tedeschi recommends one should break up the fire pit project into two days at the minimum. TONY CENICOLA/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Baptism by fire pit By Bob Tedeschi The New York Times

I

n the 13 years we’ve owned our home, my wife and I have built three fire pits. The first was a rock ring in the woods, where we sat on boulders and invited armies of mosquitoes to mainline our blood while we pretended not to notice. The second, in our scrubby side yard in suburban Connecticut, never saw flame but eventually hosted many interesting species of weeds and at least one tree. Then I invested in bricks and a grate, building a pit 10 yards from our back deck, where it sat unused for two years before I kicked it down. What would it take to inspire an outdoorsy family of fire lovers to actually use a fire pit? Last week, I figured I’d find out. I called on John Gulland, manager and founder of Woodheat.org; Scott Cohen, author of Scott Cohen’s Outdoor Fireplaces and Fire Pits; and Julie Moir Messervy, a Vermont-based landscape designer and author of eight books on the subject, including Landscaping Ideas That Work. My landscaping specialists got right to the heart of it: A successful fire pit is about a lot more than just the fire. “The goal is to create a go-to destination where you can chitchat with your friends,” Cohen said. “Fire just helps prolong the use of the area.” In designing the space, Messervy suggested I start by selecting a proper site. My impulse was to put the pit on the slope behind a patio I installed in June. The patio’s retaining wall, I figured, would make a passable bench for the fire pit. Messervy felt this would crowd the patio and, worse still, force me to dig tons of soil to level the ground. Having dug myself to the edge of insanity when I was building the patio, I took her advice and chose a spot on a plateau a few yards away. In playing with designs and layouts, I relied on Messervy’s Home Outside Palette mobile app, which was useful (and free). Next, I checked Houzz.com, which offered its usual trove of over-the-top design ideas. The one I liked best was round and patio-like, with a floor of river rock wide enough to accommodate six people and a low, modest fire pit at the center. Among other ambitions, I planned to build a top for the pit, so we could use it as a table during daytime gatherings. So why not build a gigantic pit? Big pits, Gulland informed me, don’t reflect heat as effectively as smaller ones, so the wood burns less efficiently and produces more smoke. “Anything bigger

E-7

than 36 inches in diameter is a waste,” he said. But I went with a slightly bigger version, for reasons I’ll explain shortly. I chose a loose-rock floor because the thought of building another patio turned my stomach. With loose rock, you still have to remove a layer of topsoil, but you don’t need to dig as deep as you do when installing pavers, or stabilize the base with compacted gravel. To set the pit on solid ground and prevent shifting during the winter, though, I had little choice but to follow my paverpatio protocol. I dug a 4-foot-wide circular trench roughly 8 inches deep and filled it with so-called stone aggregate, which is a mixture of sand and gravel found at masonry suppliers. Working in 2-inch layers, I tamped down the gravel and checked it for level, giving it the slightest slope so the water wouldn’t pool around the pit. Next, I added a 1-inch layer of sand to set the bricks. Sounds easy? Now imagine filling a shovel with dense soil too many times to count, hoisting it all into a wheelbarrow and hauling those monstrous loads to some dark corner of your property. Then imagine filling the wheelbarrow with gravel multiple times, raking it out and slamming a tamper onto it to get it flat. For your next act, lay down some landscaping fabric and then enjoy carting nearly a ton of river rock and fire pit bricks from your driveway to your yard. All of this for a little patch of heaven 12 feet in diameter. Do yourself a favor and break up the job into two days at the minimum — and, if possible, recruit a few muscular masochists to help. One logistical, budgetary note: I had gravel and sand left over from my patio project, so I didn’t need to pick it up or have it delivered. My local supplier charges $100 for delivery, so the material itself would have cost less than the delivery. But if you’ve ever tried to haul a ton of rocks on your own, you are likely to recognize this as the immeasurable bargain it is. One of my best moves was starting with a kit. Pavestone’s RumbleStone round kit costs around $400, delivered, and includes a pit liner and screen. The company sells a 46-inch-diameter, 16-inch-high version, but my sources said 12 inches is a good height if you like to kick your feet up on the edge. (The kit itself comes in a 10.5-inch version.) Even the smaller kit costs considerably more than you would pay for bricks. Then again, for the extra cash, you don’t have to melt your brain while cobbling together stones or bricks into a perfect circle. (Do-it-yourself masons, Cohen said, should avoid using river rocks, as they can explode when heated. And homemade pits, he said, should be lined

with fire bricks.) The RumbleStone liner would require some modification for a propane fire pit, but that didn’t apply to me as I decided to use a wood-fire design. Of course, not everyone has that choice. Cities like New York and Boston, among others, prohibit open fires with wood, and smaller municipalities sometimes regulate fire pit placement to keep smoke away from the neighbors. Gas fire pits can be great, too, if you take some precautions with materials. Cohen, who provides expert testimony in fire-related court cases, said lava rock is a wise choice for propane fire pits. Glass beads also work nicely, he said, but only if they are manufactured specifically for such uses. “For safety, you want to cover your gas ring with just an inch or two of media,” he said, referring to the material that surrounds the gas flame. “If you have too much material, the gas will flow to the edges and light sporadically.” Sporadic lighting, he said, can be especially dangerous if the flames surge when they catch. Cohen said he buys supplies from Hearth Products Controls, and he favors stainless-steel gas rings with manual lighting. With such units, he said, users are better able to tailor the flame height to the wind conditions and other factors, like the presence of small children in the crowd. And wind conditions are too often overlooked by fire pit owners, Gulland said: “People don’t know how to burn properly, which creates a ton of smoke, and they’ll burn when there’s a breeze, which makes it really bad.” He favors so-called top-down fires, where kindling rests on the wood logs, because they produce much less smoke than traditional American campfire methods. I forgot his advice during our first fire, but fortunately there was no wind. When my pit and the surrounding patio were finally finished, I slid a few chairs around it and collapsed in a heap on a couch inside. The kids took one look and immediately demanded marshmallows. An hour later, the stars were out, the neighborhood was quiet and the fire had gathered the family to it. As we sat, I remembered what Messervy said about the value of this venture. “It’s amazing what happens to a conversation when people have fire as a focal point,” she told me. “It absorbs your self-consciousness and allows people to literally get into a place that’s warm, and you can enjoy conversations in a deeper way.” Along with a few s’mores and a cold beer, it was enough to justify all the sweat this little bear of a project required.

top,” she says, “whereas beige tends to only work with warm colors, and then the room becomes too warm.” She added a navy leather sofa (“a pullout for sleepovers,” she says, “and leather only gets better with age”), plus a rug, throw pillows, an ottoman and chairs that included shades of orange and turquoise. The result: playful but not immature. Another approach: “Red, white and blue has become a modern classic for boys and girls,” Flynn says. “For a masculine touch, I’m a fan of sticking with rich navy and fire-engine red. Girl spaces are an excellent fit for more muted blues such as robin’s egg or sea foam, and more poppy shades of red such as cherry,” he says. What if your kids have their hearts set on colors you think won’t work? Respect their input, Burnham says, but adjust the shades as necessary: “It’s your house, too. If you don’t want a schoolbus-yellow wall, what can you live with? Maybe a dijon, or maybe the school-bus yellow is his bedside lamp.” If your daughter wants purple, “maybe it’s a gray lavender,” she says, or another shade of purple that “she won’t get sick of in six months.”

Wilder walls For walls, “tweens and teens tend to favor bold patterns, and find wallpaper cool due to its vintage, retro appeal,” Flynn says. “If wallpaper is too much of a commitment,” he adds, “consider a graphic treatment on the walls with paint. Stripes are classic and gender-neutral, plus they’re not too difficult to paint.”

Smarter storage Toys, trophies, books, papers and a whole lot of electronics: Kids have an awful lot of stuff. Burnham suggests choosing a wall “that can accommodate 18 inches of depth or 22 inches of depth,” and have built-in cabinets and shelves installed. “Built-in cabinetry is so very handy in a tween room,” agrees Workman. It allows “an easy transition to a teenage space” because you’re not dealing with furniture that the child may no longer like. Custom carpentry can be

expensive, but it’s an investment in your home’s value. You can save money by using less expensive wood or MDF (medium-density fiberboard manufactured to look like wood). And “don’t be afraid to use Ikea as a resource for inexpensive cabinetry that can be given a built-in look by adding crown molding and baseboards,” Workman says. For free-standing storage pieces, Flynn suggests hitting a flea market or garage sale: “This way, the tween has something cool that becomes a huge part of their room’s design, but also is packed with practicality. Some of my go-to items are Danish modern desks with sleek drawers, rustic metal lockers and three-drawer dressers to use as nightstands.”

Unexpected finds “Tweens are still finding themselves, so it’s tricky to decorate their rooms with one particular style,” Flynn says. His preferred style for tweens? “Eclectic.” Workman agrees that vintage pieces — especially those already banged-up and scratched to perfection — are perfect for older kids’ bedrooms. Vintage chairs can be recovered in fresh fabrics, and antique furniture can shine with a new coat of glossy paint. “I like to use vintage items, and industrial style for a tween boy’s bedroom,” Workman says. “I created a huge lighted sign out of tin letters that spelled out the boy’s name. There was a definite cool factor to this, and it’s the type of ornamentation that won’t be too ‘baby’ later on.” To tie disparate flea-market finds together, keep the color scheme consistent. And to protect the tops of desks, dressers and tables, Burnham advises having a piece of glass cut to cover them. “I am a real believer in creating a kids/tween/teen room that utilizes classic ‘adult’ fabrics and furnishings,” Workman says. “I had a client that had no fear using antiques in her children’s rooms, and those children had a deep respect not only for their own space but for the rest of the home as well. She never had to redecorate those rooms, because they went from child to adult with only a change from stuffed animals and toys to guitars and drums.”

Red, white and blue can be the perfect color palette for a preteen’s bedroom, says interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn. BRIAN PATRICK FLYNN/SCRIPPS NETWORK INTERACTIVE, SARAH DORIO

Heated: Small driveway costs about $6K Continued from Page E-1 “But if you have to shovel first, it’s too much of a chore.” Morris says the uptick in business started last winter: “People were calling us saying, ‘I can’t keep up.’ ” Interest has persisted, since the warmer months are prime time for doing the work to install heated driveways. That generally entails ripping up the existing driveway and laying down snowmelting cables and mats, which can then be covered with asphalt, concrete or pavers, Morris says. You can zone a driveway so that one part of it is heated and another isn’t. And

heated driveways can be programmed to turn on automatically when the temperature drops to a certain level. Although heated driveways unquestionably qualify as luxury items, Morris says there are so many ways to design and build them that they don’t have to be cost-prohibitive. Prices range from, say, $6,000 for a small driveway that’s about 30 feet long to the $50,000 that Geier paid for his 200-foot-long driveway. The cost of electricity is also a factor. Again, it depends on the size of the driveway, although Morris says that heating a small driveway for the duration of a typical six-hour storm could cost as little as $13.

A driveway heated by electricity is also cheaper than one heated by hydronics, or hot water systems. The choice often depends on the house’s heating system, Morris says. And many homeowners, he says, heat just enough of the driveway to drive their car out. Despite his peace of mind last winter, Geier, who is selling his Hinsdale house, says he doesn’t think he’ll put a heated driveway in his new home given the cost and other issues, like having to still shovel walkways and sidewalks. But you never know. “We haven’t been through winter in our new home yet,” he says.

Designer Betsy Burnham recommends having a sheet of glass cut to fit the top of a child’s desk in order to protect the furniture from wear and tear. BURNHAM DESIGN, SARAH DORIO

New York Times Sunday Crossword

Scratch pad

s America’s foremost connoisseur of the misuse of the English language, I get sad around this time of the year. That’s because the baseball season is almost

over. Baseball plays itself to physical and emotional exhaustion, with games nearly every day. Therefore, players and managers are wary of saying anything that might dampen morale, which could in turn affect momentum. Momentum, like a dog, is something you definitely don’t want to dampen, lest you stink up the joint. So baseball has developed a vast defensive vocabulary, a way to soften failure gently, if dishonestly. Hence, the emergence of “scuffling.” Scuffling means “fighting” or “tusGene sling” or, alternatively, “moving quickly, Weingarten in a shuffling gait.” That’s it. Those are The Washington its only dictionary meanings. But over Post the past 20 years or so, baseball has hijacked this word and transformed it into a scrappy sounding euphemism for sucking. Performing very, very badly. No player or coach ever says, “We couldn’t get a run if we walked through a briar patch in pantyhose.” No one ever says, “We couldn’t score if we were in a Tijuana bordello.” No one says, “We couldn’t push anything across a plate if we were a bored 5-year-old with succotash.” Instead, they say that the team is “scuffling.” But even this is too harsh-sounding. Momentum might still be dampened! So it must be further qualified, and thus baseball has given rise to the ubiquitous, adorable “scuffling a little bit.” A search of newspaper databases shows hundreds of players and teams scuffling a little bit. For example: “We’re scuffling a little bit.” — Derek Jeter, about the Yankees, who had just lost five straight games during which they scored a total of seven runs and batted, as a team, .174. “I’m scuffling a little bit right now.” — Elvis Andrus, the Texas Rangers shortstop who, at the time, had not had a hit in 21 at-bats, and had just struck out twice with two outs and runners in scoring position in a game his team narrowly lost. He also ended the game by grounding into a double play. Further research reveals that, sometimes, even the gentle “scuffling a little bit” is too morale-threatening to risk. It must be further modified to soften any conceivable negative meaning, as in this quote: “He’s kind of been scuffling a little bit.” — Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, about his star outfielder Josh Willingham, whose batting average had fallen to .113, which is roughly what you, personally, would hit. Gardenhire then went on to theorize that Willingham’s scuffling might be due to fatigue, inasmuch as the outfielder, 35, had lately been moving like a man at the bottom of a swimming pool filled with marmalade. But that’s not how Gardenhire put it, of course. Gardenhire said: “We’ve played him a lot of games in a row, and I think he gets worn down a little bit.” All of this genteel understatement finds its way into other baseball conversations. My have happened this year after the Texas Rangers traded their star second baseman, Ian Kinsler, to Detroit, without first discussing it with the player. Unhappy about this, Kinsler gave a magazine interview in which he said he hoped his former team goes “0-162.” He also called the Rangers’ general manager a “sleazeball.” Later, Kinsler sort of apologized. He did it baseball-style: “Everything that I directed toward the general manager was maybe a little uncalled for.” But Kinsler wasn’t finished. He needed to further explain himself, baseball-style: “At that time, when I said those things, I probably thought he should have handled it a little bit differently.”
