New Mexico’s Medicaid machine is getting ready for the fast lane. Starting Jan. 1, the federal government will embark on what is the biggest expansion of insurance since the introduction of Medicare, the social insurance program launched in 1965 for those 65 and older. Everyone will be required to have health insurance — through an employer, the government or a private provider. Anticipating that deadline, in a few weeks the state hopes to start bringing some 150,000 more people — 7 percent of the state’s population — into Medicaid under expanded eligibility guidelines.

The shake-up of the state’s behavioral health system is already posing tough questions for Gov. Susana Martinez in her race for re-election next year. Opposing sides went to the radio last week with ads, one defending her and another blasting her, over her handling of a controversial audit and subsequent investigation into the state’s 15 largest mental health providers. Rather than seizing on the issue, one of the Republican governor’s chief rivals for the top office, Attorney General Gary King, a Democrat, has found himself mired in the same controversy. King’s office is investigating the New Mexico providers after the audit, commissioned by the state Human Services Department, found what the auditing firm determined

I paid three dinars, secondhand.” I had just asked Mimar what was the most important thing he had brought with him when he and his family fled their home in war-torn Syria. When his wife was setting out to join him in Jordan with the children, he asked her to bring it, but in all the chaos, she forgot. Just a few meters from the border with Jordan, Mimar’s wife and children were betrayed to the army. Mimar’s 15-year-old son was pulled away from the group. There, in front of the teen’s mother, a soldier shot him in the head. Mimar’s family spent three days in prison, not knowing the boy’s fate but assuming the worst. Please see FLEEING, Page A-4

NATION&WORLD Engineering feat to raise wreck Salvage operation for doomed luxury liner likely to begin soon By Frances D’Emilio The Associated Press

OME — An international team of engineers and other experts has devised no “Plan B” if an attempt to right the hulking wreck of the grounded Costa Concordia goes wrong and the cruise liner splits apart or falls back on its side near an Italian island. The team is attempting an unprecedented engineering bet to remove the luxury liner from just outside the harbor of Giglio island where it has been lying on its side after smashing into a jagged reef. Assuming seas are calm, the ship will be slowly pulled to the vertical in an hourslong operation so it can be towed to a mainland port and turned into scrap. The possibility that the Mediterranean cruise liner might fall apart is a “remote event,” insisted Franco Gabrielli, head of Italy’s Civil Protection agency, at a briefing Thursday to lay out logistics. “If the ship doesn’t turn” back upright, “there is no other way” to try it again. Thirty-two people died when the Concordia crashed on the evening of Jan. 13, 2012, as the captain steered the vessel close to the island of Giglio’s rocky coastline. The reef sliced a 230-foot-long gash into a side of the hull, seawater rushed in and the Concordia began to lean over on one side, listing so quickly that many lifeboats couldn’t be lowered to help save the

4,200 passengers and cruise aboard the pleasure cruise. A 500-member salvage team from 24 nations will be conducting the operation to move the ship, known in nautical terms as parbuckling, before autumn storm season arrives, when winds and powerful waves risk battering it to the point it won’t hold together. Dozens of crank-like pulleys will start slowly rotating the ship upright at a rate of about 3 yards per hour. Steel chains weighing 17,000 tons have been looped under the vessel to help pull it upright. Tanks filled with water on the exposed side will also help rotate it upward.

Ad agencies make over icons to hook younger audience By Emily Wax-Thibodeaux The Washington Post

They pulled all-nighters. They worked weekends. The young advertising copywriters at the Draftfcb advertising agency in California had landed a big account, but it wasn’t a car company or fast-food chain. It was the federal government. Smokey Bear, a character in some of the government’s most iconic public service ads, needed a makeover, a reinvention, maybe a new personality. “This was just this awesome, huge honor,” said Eric Springer, chief creative officer at Draftfcb Springer Southern California. “This was as cool as working for Coke. Brand government doesn’t have to put a bad taste in your mouth.” Some of the retro-cool slogans made famous by a PSA:

Although parbuckling is a tested way to set upright capsized vessels, the operation has never been applied to a huge cruise liner. Engineer Nick Sloane, a South African who is senior salvage master, said the Concordia will suffer an “extreme amount of force” of compression in the first part of the maneuver. But “we’re pretty satisfied” the vessel will survive the stress, Sloane said. “We expect her to come up” to vertical, he said. “We’re quite confident.” “She’s resting in pristine waters on this hill” of two massive pieces of sloping granite seabed, Sloane said. He likened the

Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. You can learn a lot from a dummy. The toughest job you’ll ever love. The ads have long captured the public’s imagination, with characters and slogans that have become a part of the American vernacular and still hold real estate in the national psyche. Even in the toughest of economic times, ad agencies covet these largely pro bono accounts because they have the potential to influence the culture for decades to come. But gaining a new generation’s attention requires cultural adaptation. In the past, viewers were captive audiences who collapsed in front of the television after school. Today they are busy checking text messages and scrolling Vine videos during commercial breaks. Young people are experts at bypassing advertising completely, posing a challenge to federal government agencies and their advertising partners eager for ways to penetrate the American mind-set as deeply as the classics did. About $1.5 billion was donated in media

ship’s hull bottom to a “big belly …. about the size of a football field” perched on the two reefs. Months ago, divers inserted cement-filled bags and grouting between the reefs to provide more stability. The aim of the parbuckling is to set the wreck upright on an underwater platform that has been installed. Many of Giglio’s 1,500 inhabitants work or go to school on the mainland, and authorities will let one last ferry sail from the island at dawn Monday. But no ferries or other boats will be allowed until the effort is completed. If seas are rough, or a storm looms, the ship’s rotation will be postponed to a later day next week.

time to government and nonprofit ads, with about $600 million for 19 government campaigns addressing such issues as hunger and anti-bullying. In addition, the government and nonprofit organizations have increased social media budgets for public service ads from $300,000 in 2009 to about $1 million last year to pay for social media teams, according to the Ad Council, which works with ad agencies to produce national public service ads on behalf of the federal government and other nonprofit groups. The 69-year-old Smokey, for instance, now has a Twitter feed. He’s on Instagram. He’s reportedly the only bear on LinkedIn. On a recent Facebook post, Smokey Bear declared himself “a friend of hipsters.” Peggy Conlon, president and chief executive of the council, said a crucial question is where does the target audience get its information. “If that’s Facebook or Twitter, that’s where we want to be,” she said. Apart from changing the medium, the government’s volunteer ad executives also have to change the tone of the message.

GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. — The world’s oldest man, a 112-year-old self-taught musician, coal miner and gin rummy aficionado from western New York, has died. He was 112. Salustiano Sanchez-Blazquez died Friday at a nursing home in Grand Island, according to Robert Young, senior gerontology consultant with Guinness World Records. Sanchez-Blazquez became the world’s oldest man when Jiroemon Salustiano Kimura died June 12 at age 116. SanchezBorn June 8, 1901, in village of Blazquez El Tejado de Bejar, Spain, he was known for his talent on the dulzaina, a double-reed wind instrument that he taught himself and played at weddings and village celebrations. At 17, he moved with his older brother Pedro and a group of friends to Cuba, where they worked in the cane fields. In 1920, he came to the United States through Ellis Island and worked in the coal mines of Lynch, Ky. Ultimately, he moved to the Niagara Falls area of New York, where he worked in construction and in the industrial furnaces. He married his wife, Pearl, in 1934.

CAIRO — An Egyptian judge on Saturday named top security officials to testify in the retrial of former President Hosni Mubarak on charges related to the killings of around 900 protesters during the 2011 uprising that led to his ouster. The 85-year-old longtime autocrat’s previous conviction for failing to stop the killings was overturned on appeals earlier this year, leaving still open questions about who ordered the use of deadly force against protesters and who carried out those orders. The naming of former prison and top intelligence officials in the case appeared to intertwine Mubarak’s trial with accusations facing his successor, Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted in a popularly-backed coup July 3 just one year after his election. Morsi has been held since at an undisclosed military facility and is being investigated on allegations that he and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders conspired with the Palestinian Hamas group in the neighboring Gaza Strip to escape from prison during the anti-Mubarak uprising.

Hurricane Ingrid forms off Mexico, prompts evacuations XALAPA, Mexico — Ingrid strengthened Saturday after becoming Mexico’s second hurricane of the Atlantic storm season, prompting the evacuation of several thousand people while an increasingly powerful Tropical Storm Manuel threatened to become a hurricane as well, dumping rains that could cause flash floods and mudslides as it nears landfall on Sunday. On Saturday evening, Hurricane Ingrid was packing maximum sustained winds of 85 mph. The storm was centered about 185 miles east of Tampico, Mexico and moving north at 7 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said that if Ingrid stays on the forecast track, it’s likely to reach the coast of Mexico on Monday. A hurricane warning was in effect from Cabo Rojo to La Pesca.

Bus goes off southwest Ohio highway, injures 35 CINCINNATI — A Greyhound bus drove off an interstate highway in southwest Ohio early Saturday, struck a tree and a fence and flipped on its side before sliding to a stop in a cornfield, injuring at least 35 people. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, though several people were trapped and had to be extricated by firefighters and paramedics, the State Highway Patrol said in a statement. Patrol Sgt. Pete Combs said an investigation was underway and he could not comment on a possible cause for the crash, which happened around 4 a.m. on Interstate 75 in Liberty Township, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati.

Rescuers urge residents to leave flood-ravaged towns Homeowners who decline to evacuate face weeks without water, electricity By Ben Neary and Hannah Dreier The Associated Press

BOULDER, Colo. — As rescuers broke through to floodravaged Colorado towns, they issued a stern warning Saturday to anyone thinking of staying behind: Leave now or be prepared to endure weeks without electricity, running water and basic supplies. National Guard helicopters and truck convoys carried the admonition into paralyzed canyon communities where thousands of stranded residents were eager to escape the Rocky Mountain foothills. But not everybody was willing to go. Dozens of people in the isolated community of Jamestown wanted to stay to watch over their homes. Authorities made clear that residents who chose not to leave might not get another chance for a while. “We’re not trying to force anyone from their home. We’re not trying to be forceful, but we’re trying to be very factual and definitive about the consequences of their decision, and we hope that they will come down,” Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said. Special-education teacher Brian Shultz, 38, was torn about leaving his Jamestown home. “I was thinking about staying. I could have lasted at least a year. I have a lot of training in wilderness survival,” he said, adding that he probably had enough beer to last the whole time. As he sat outside a makeshift shelter at a high school, Shultz floated the idea of walking back into the mountain town.

“If we hike back, I would stay there and just live. I’d rather be at our own house than staying at some other people’s houses,” he said. His wife, Meagan Harrington, gave him a wry smile. About 10 of their neighbors declined to evacuate, she said. “They said they wouldn’t force you, but it was strongly encouraged,” she said. Shultz teared up behind his sunglasses as he compared his situation to that of his neighbors. “At least all of our stuff’s there and will be there when we get back. The people right by the river, their houses were washed away. Other people thought their houses were going to be OK, and then they started to go. It’s just really devastating.”

Across the foothills, rescuers made progress against the floodwaters. But they were still unable to go up many narrow canyon roads that were either underwater or washed out. On Saturday, the surge of water reached the plains east of the mountains, cutting off more communities and diverting some rescue operations. Four people have been confirmed dead since the floods began Wednesday. And hundreds of others have not been heard from in the flood zone, which has grown to cover portions of an area nearly the size of Connecticut. Some of those who are unaccounted for may be stranded or injured. Others might have gotten out but not yet contacted friends

and relatives, officials said. Police expected to find more bodies as the full scope of damage emerges. A woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses saw floodwaters from the Big Thompson River destroy her home in the Cedar Cove area, Larimer County sheriff’s spokesman, John Schulz, said. “I expect that we’re going to continue to receive reports of confirmed missing and confirmed fatalities throughout the next several days,” he said. The military put more troops on the ground and helicopters in the air to aid in the searchand-rescue effort. More rain was in the forecast. By midday Saturday, nearly 800 people had been evacuated, National Guard Master Sgt. Cheresa Theiral said. More than 700 people spent Friday night in shel-

ters, according to the Red Cross. A helicopter taking Gov. John Hickenlooper on a tour of the flooded areas stopped to pick up four stranded people and their two pets. The governor tweeted about the impromptu rescue, and spokesman Eric Brown confirmed it but did not have any details. Terry Kishiyama’s son flagged down a helicopter with his shirt after a three-day wait for rescue from a neighbor’s house on higher ground. “You could hear the choppers for miles and miles, but I didn’t know if they were evacuating people. You see a chopper going down behind a ridge, and you have no clue,” Kishiyma said. Above the plains of Larimer County, rescue crews planned to fly as many missions as possible while skies were clear. Crews used inflatable boats to pick up families and pets from

farmhouses. Some evacuees on horseback had to be escorted to safe ground. Near Greeley, 35 miles east of the foothills, broad swaths of farmland had become lakes, and the raging South Platte and Poudre rivers surrounded more homes. For those awaiting an airlift, Guardsmen dropped food, water and other essentials into the winding, narrow canyons. With supplies dwindling, residents of Lyons barbecued their food before it spoiled. In one Boulder neighborhood, residents turned back city crews and machinery that arrived to remove the makeshift berms and sand-filled trash bags protecting their homes. University of Colorado students helped homeowners improvise a way to divert the rising water from Gregory Creek.

FLEEING SYRIA

Za’atari has grown into the second-largest refugee camp in the world Continued from Page A-1 They later learned he had been taken to a Syrian hospital and had survived his wound. He was reunited with his mother and siblings when they were released from prison, and they carried him across the border to Jordan. He remains partially paralyzed. “Am I angry? Yes, I’m angry,” Mimar said. “But what can I do?” I had gone to Jordan to document the plight of Syrian refugees for an international humanitarian organization. I was photographing the refugees throughout Jordan, and I did much of my work within the Za’atari refugee camp built by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Jordanians and various aid organizations. Mafraq, the nearby Jordanian city, had doubled in size within months of the outbreak of the war. The first refugees at Za’atari had crossed the border to flee the fighting in the city of Dara’a, only 25 miles away. In the summer of 2012, the camp had numbers in the thousands. It is now the secondlargest refugee camp in the world, with 120,000 people and counting. Tens of thousands are children. Za’atari is laid out in a grid made up of thousands of tents and small, rectangular trailers. It is much more than a mere camp; it is a ramshackle city, cobbled together on a desert floor. Walking through the camp, I could sense the hopelessness that was settling in among the refugees. They had thought they would be returning home after a few months, but the war has no end in sight. It may be years. For the thousands who cannot find work in Jordan, there is nothing. I had spent my first day at Za’atari taking photographs of the camp and its many inhabitants. Then I began to listen to individual stories, asking each person what was the most important possession they had brought with them. The world of the refugee came alive. uuu Razan was a busy woman. In Syria, the mother of four was a nurse and owned a small clothing boutique. Last year, she and her husband took their children — 6-year-old twin boys, a 5-year-old boy and a baby girl just over a year and a half — and fled the besieged city of Homs, fearing for their lives. Some of her family stayed in the city,

and now, “Some of my family in Homs are hostages or in prison,” she said. At first, Razan insisted her children were all she cared to take with her. Then she remembered that, at the last minute, she had grabbed a miniature Quran. She said it gave her the strength and courage to face the future. Razan admitted that life in Jordan wasn’t easy, but said, “There is always hope. This must be the more powerful.” She said the education of the children was the way to establish a future, a way to build hope. She has found work with Relief International, a humanitarian group, which helps her support her family. It also gives her a sense of satisfaction and purpose. uuu Asim carried no keepsakes from home. He told his story by talking of others. In Syria, he taught English. Even after the fighting began, he didn’t want to leave. He helped three other families, his brother and sister and their children, move through Damascus to Jordan. It was for them, his nieces and nephews, that he left Syria and joined his family in Za’atari. “My house was burned almost a year ago, along with everything inside,” he said. “Everything was destroyed. The only thing I wish to do is visit my father’s grave. I haven’t been able to since before the revolution.” Asim said he hopes he can help. “I hope to give whatever support is necessary. These children may be the future makers, not future destroyers. We will do what we can to keep them safe. We are trying to make a future for the children by offering them a good education. They are the future of Syria, and without an education, there will be no future for these children or for the people of Syria.” uuu Aleemah is a member of an Alawite family from the city of Latakia. President Bashar Assad and most of Syria’s elite belong to the minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam whose members often are targeted by radicals among the Sunni Muslimdominated rebels. Aleemah holds a master’s degree in civil engineering and has done work for Assad’s government. Her family members, fearing this would make her a target, pooled their resources to help her flee.

She was the only member of her family who left. Her father, a tailor, her mother, five sisters and brother remain in government-controlled territory and can’t afford to leave. Aleemah fled eight months ago, thinking she would be in Jordan for only a short time. But her home has been burned, all of her possessions destroyed. Now she carries her most important belongings — pictures of her family and her home, and legal certificates — on her smartphone. uuu Sabina, a former chemistry student, wore on a silver chain around her neck a bullet that had torn through her family’s house in Homs almost a year ago. She had pulled it from the wall the night before her family left the house last year, just after Eid, the holiday feast that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. With her parents, two sisters and five brothers, she traveled for a day until they reached the sprawling camp at Za’atari — a place of little grace and increasing desperation. They had left in a hurry, carrying few possessions but heavy with memories. “When the days are hard,” she said of the bullet, “this reminds me of the life I left behind, and I am able to push onward.” uuu Rafeek dreamed of a future he thought only education could bring. “I used to see the world from the pages of a book,” he said. “Now there are no more books for me. My dreams stopped when I missed my baccalaureate exam. I have left my thoughts, my hopes, my dreams and my soul in Syria. I have left everything.” uuu I remember Razan peering into my eyes while I listened to her story. As I watched her speak, this working woman and mother of four children, I realized, yes, there is hope. We often forget: They are people, and each carries his or her own story. Tony O’Brien, whose work as a photographer for magazines and newspapers has taken him to various countries, including much of the Middle East, teaches documentary photography at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design.

Expand: Program renamed Centennial Care Continued from Page A-1 (Medicaid is the federal-state partnership that helps provide health care for the indigent, disabled, blind and low-income families with children.) For Julie Weinberg, director of the state Medical Assistance Division of the Human Services Department, it is a massive undertaking. But she hopes the project, along with new options for private insurance through the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, will transform health care in the state. “Nothing this big goes in without bumps, but we’re hoping the bumps aren’t horribly large,” Weinberg said. “It’s a very huge deal,” added Lauren Reichelt, health and human services director in Rio Arriba County. “I think we’ll see a huge jump in the number of those with insurance.”

A top state for uninsured Statewide, 570,000 New Mexicans are already enrolled in Medicaid; 337,000 of the enrolled are children. But New Mexico still ranks among the top states for uninsured, with many of those being working adults who earn too much for the current Medicaid program, are too young for Medicare and can’t afford to purchase their own insurance, even if it is offered in the workplace. Many are construction workers, designers, freelance artists, seasonal workers, sole proprietors or people who have recently changed jobs. Many are young and single, the so-called “young invincibles,” who believe they don’t need insurance. Others are the working poor who have children already covered by Medicaid. The Medicaid expansion, as it is called under President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, aims to bring lowerincome adults into the government insurance program. Under the old Medicaid system, only those whose income was at the federal poverty level could qualify — about $11,000 for an individual and $23,000 for a family of four. But the Affordable Care Act extended that to what is now 138 percent of the federal poverty level. That means $15,414 for individuals, while a family of four can earn $31,809 and still qualify for lowcost insurance. New Mexico is no longer calling the program Medicaid, but Centennial Care. The new name, Weinberg said, emphasizes the initiative is a total

Bracing for enrollment surge

wellness effort: Managed-care companies will work with individuals to integrate them into a network that includes prevention services as well as nutrition, counseling, addiction treatment and mental-health care, if necessary. “We expect anywhere between 140,000 and 170,000 people to be eligible for the expansion in the next five years and the vast majority to come in the first year,” Weinberg said. Each will not only have to enroll in Centennial Care, but also pick one of four private networks: Molina Healthcare; Blue Cross Blue Shield; Presbyterian Health Plan; or UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Weinberg said the health companies have the software, staff and data capabilities to track care and treatments — resources the state doesn’t have. “We are all notoriously bad consumers of health care,” she said. “For us [the state] to do that, I’d have to hire hundreds of people.” In Santa Fe County, 18,000 new people might qualify for Centennial Care, according to estimates. Reichelt expects some 2,000 to 3,000 new enrollees in Rio Arriba County.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot force states to expand Medicaid — so only 28 states are doing so come January. New Mexico is one of a handful with a GOP governor moving forward, along with Arizona, Florida, Michigan and New Jersey. New Mexico has been doing Medicaid enrollment for a long time. Under the new laws, half the administrative costs for expansion are covered by the federal government. The result is that 16 additional staffers have been hired by the state Human Services Department and will focus on Centennial Care enrollment. More than 150 enrollment fairs are already scheduled in the next eight weeks at senior centers and community centers, schools, health centers, libraries, town halls and gymnasiums. Only legal residents are eligible for the program. Tribal members, while exempt from the federal requirement of having health insurance in 2014, can enroll if they qualify. The state will blast information on the radio, through direct mailings and through newspaper

placement. “The people who need Medicaid the most are in some of the most isolated parts of the state. It is hard to reach them,” Weinberg said.

A boon for clinics and hospitals No one has to convince La Familia Medical Center’s John Cassidy, the chief executive of the community health center, that “getting people enrolled is a big deal.” La Familia provides services to anyone who shows up, whether they have insurance or not, and charges on a sliding scale. The provider has some 20,000 patients; perhaps onethird of those are undocumented residents who will not qualify for Centennial Care, nor will they be able to purchase insurance from

the health exchanges. But the four La Familia health clinics also see 4,000 Medicaid patients, and Cassidy thinks another 1,000 would be newly eligible for Centennial Care come January. In anticipation, his staff will undergo certification training so they can accurately enroll those people for their new health insurance. For La Familia, it means the organization will get paid to provide health care that doctors and nurses are now giving for free. For patients, it means they can seek care at a clinic in Albuquerque, or any other clinic in the United States — not just La Familia. “When they go to the emergency room, when they go here and there and everywhere, it means they will be served,” Cassidy said. Reichelt also has started her staff’s training. She said the online enrollment system is a challenge for a rural area without Internet access. Often that means

that a staff member will take a paper application, then come back to the office and enter the information into the computer. For Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, more insured patients means fewer indigents who seek emergency care but can’t pay. Christus CEO Bruce Tassin said Christus already enrolls those eligible for Medicaid upon discharge, and that effort will ramp up for those newly eligible for Centennial Care. He estimates the hospital might enroll another 750 people the first year with the new guidelines. He also estimated another 370 might gain insurance in the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange when they get discharged from Christus. “To get as many people signed up with some form of insurance is a great thing for the community,” Tassin said. But, he added,

morE informAtion

Medicaid reimbursements do not cover hospital costs — and the payments are less than the hospital would receive from the county indigent fund, which is earmarked for those who can’t pay for treatments. Still, insured patients are more likely to come into primary care clinics and seek other types of alternative care, which holds down emergency room costs and other expensive procedures. Another advantage of signing people up is that even if they do not qualify for Centennial Care, the patient might be able to receive some advance tax credit and to buy private insurance through the exchange. Credits can be offered for individuals earning as much as $44,000 and families at $92,000, depending on the family’s size.

chances for a follow-up peace conference in Geneva to the one held in June 2012 would depend largely on the weapons deal. The U.S. and Russia are giving Syria just one week, until Sept. 21, to submit “a comprehensive listing, including names, types and quantities of its chemical weapons agents, types of munitions, and location and form of storage, production, and research and development facilities.” International inspectors are to be on the ground in Syria by November. During that month, they are to complete their initial assessment and all mixing and filling equipment for chemical weapons is to be destroyed. They must be given “immediate and unfettered” access to inspect all sites. All components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by mid-2014. “Ensuring that a dictator’s wanton use of chemical weapons never again comes to pass, we believe is worth pursuing and achieving,” Kerry said. For the moment, the deal may not do much to change the fighting on the ground. But the impasse in the international community over how to react could ease somewhat with the U.S. and Russia also agreeing to immediately press for a U.N. Security Council resolution that enshrines the weapons deal. They will seek a resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which can authorize both the use of force and nonmilitary measures.

Fall foliage lures visitors to Arkansas By Jeannie Nuss

The Associated Press

JASPER, Ark. — Arkansas may be best known for Bill Clinton and Wal-Mart. But come autumn, the state gets attention for something else: stunning foliage. The brilliant yellow and red leaves of hickory, oak and sweet gum trees lure thousands of visitors to this part of the world every fall, and this year is expected to be no exception. Peak foliage typically hits the northern half of the state in late October, though forestry and tourism officials caution that the time frame could change. “It’s like predicting the weather. It’s not a sure thing,” said Tamara Walkingstick, associate director of the Arkansas Forest Resources Center. The state will start posting fall foliage updates later this month. But regardless of the exact timing, there are plenty of curvy, two-lane highways that stretch into the Ozark Mountains and offer striking views of the fall colors. U.S. 7, known as the Scenic 7 Byway, is among the prettiest. The roadway spans the state from north to south. Leafpeepers seeking out primo foliage would do well to hop on Scenic 7 at Russellville, about 75 miles northwest of Little Rock, and head north about 85 miles toward Harrison. It’s a colorful drive across Arkansas — which is nicknamed the Natural State — and not just because of the leaves. Cows graze in fields. Country cemeteries boast names like “God’s Little Half Acre.” Signs advertising trading posts at Chigger Hollow and Booger Hollow play to outsiders’ fasci-

nation with the hillbilly culture tied to this region. It’s the kind of drive best experienced with the windows down, and because it’s in the South, it’s usually not too cold to do just that in the fall. It’s worth stopping off at one of the old-timey general stores that fleck the side of the highway. Hankins Country Store, about 35 miles north of Russellville on Scenic 7, is a good choice if you’re jonesing for a cream soda or some farm-fresh eggs, or if you just want to see a sign advertising cold drinks, snacks, camping supplies and ammo. Signs along the drive point to scenic overlooks with vistas of valleys awash in trees. The views seem to get better the farther north you drive, with the best just south of a quaint community called Jasper. A word of warning as you descend into Jasper: When the street signs say crooked and steep, they’re not kidding. So once you recover from the plummet into town, reward yourself with a homemade chocolate cheesecake muffin at the Blue Mountain Bakery and Deli. Walk around the town square, or take your baked goodies to go and have a picnic along the river about 5 miles north in Pruitt.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Government ignoring majority

A call to help

resident Barack Obama asked for the support of Republican and Democratic leaders in the house for an attack on Syria. Every poll taken recently shows that the majority of people in this country do not support bombing Syria. Polls in other countries are overwhelmingly against our bombing Syria. Yet, our president ignores all of this. Why? Why, when the president doesn’t even know what groups constitute the so-called rebels, why is it, now, two years after students first staged a peaceful protest against President Bashar Assad, why are we now gearing up for military action? Why is it we have unlimited money for war but no money for peaceful programs? A government of and for the people should not ignore the peaceful majority.

As a 27-year veteran teacher of New Mexico’s public schools, I would like to echo the call for donations to Adelante, the program that supports homeless students. (My View, “A donation will help a child succeed,” Aug. 25) It is crucial that Santa Fe’s homeless children receive community support to overcome the lack of resources they need to be successful in school. All children can learn when they come to school adequately fed, clothed and have the needed school supplies. Adelante has a proven record in providing these necessary resources. Let’s all get behind this excellent organization and send what we can to: The Homeless Fund, Adelante Program, 610 Alta Vista St., Santa Fe, N.M. 87505.

Wolves vs. sheep I recently spotted a definition of democracy in an investment letter I subscribe to. “Democracy is best defined as a political system in which two wolves and one sheep vote on what to have for dinner.” May I humbly suggest that the wolves are the Dems and the GOP. The hapless sheep, no doubt, is the voice of the public. It seems the majority of Americans have no interest in getting involved in yet another Middle Eastern (Syria) issue, yet the “wolves” pursue the issue. Jack Till

More communication, please Regarding the construction at Atalaya school, communication would have been more accurate if there had been a distinction between the word renovation and the word demolition. As an educator, I know that excellent education comes from the programs, teachers, parents and children, rather than fancy infrastructure. It is a misnomer that new buildings are the needed ingredient to produce a “high-performing school.” Had the construction money been spent on educational programs, equipment and teacher

training, the children’s educational process would be impacted in a positive way. Physical education is important, and a gym facilitates that goal. However, a skyscraper-style gym, elevated on mounds of dirt and blocking whole mountain views from every angle, is inappropriate. The Santa Fe Prep and Rio Grande gyms blend discreetly into the background of Santa Fe, as examples. In the future, improved communication, redirection of spending and, now, the promised redesign of the gym, are key. Nancy Alexander, M.D.

Santa Fe

Hoping for adjustments I am a retired medical doctor living on Apodaca Hill directly behind Atalaya school. Our house is full of dirt, and the noise makes even watching TV difficult. This is not a remodel, but a total demolition of the buildings and mature landscapes in an old, historic neighborhood. This is an old, graying community with few children to fill the new capacity. Santa Fe Prep recessed its gym to comply with historic height guidelines, as a suggestion. I am too old to relocate and only hope adjustments can be made to maintain the integrity of the unique and breathtaking environment. R.E. Pennington, M.D., Ph.D.

Yet, I am convinced that there is some divine communication from above with great chefs, God’s gift to man. “Eating well is the best revenge,” and guess what? You, too, can eat well and cheaply if you know what you are doing. Where do I get this great passion for food? From my mom and grandfather, who had fresh gardens, rabbits, chickens, goats, etc. Way before tacos, enchiladas, etc., New Mexicans ate a very healthy Mediterranean-style diet. Yes, we have had chile for centuries, and it was not indigenous to New Mexico, but, like chocolate, was brought by the Spanish to New Mexico from other parts of the New World. Frozen green chile did not arrive to New Mexico until the advent of refrigeration. And cumin was not used until the 1950s and rarely in New Mexico dishes. In Cocina Perfeccionada, published circa 1800s in Valencia, Spain, I was astonished to see the number of dishes, especially soups, that also were cooked in early New Mexico. By the way, besides fresh trout and other fishes, New Mexicans ate eels, found in the Rio Grande and in Spain, delicious. As a final note, Mr. Obama, send no more missiles of destruction, but food to the thousands of refugees of the Syrian conflict. Let’s show the world we really care. Food, not bombs.

ext year will be the first gubernatorial race in which campaign contribution limits — approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor back in 2009 — will be in effect. Finally, we’ve taken care of the money-in-politics problem. In your dreams. It’s true that in the 2014 election, candidates for governor and other statewide office can receive up to $5,000 for the primary and another $5,000 for general election. That definitely will eliminate those $50,000 contributions from out-of-state billionaires that were becoming commonplace in the past dozen years or so. But as anyone who knows anything about politics realizes, the U.S. Supreme Court, not long after the campaign contribution law was signed by then-Gov. Bill Steve Terrell Richardson, basically Roundhouse knocked the chessRoundup board off the table and started an entire game as far as far as campaign finance reforms go. That decision — which helped fortify the rise of “independent expenditure” groups that can spend all the money they want building up or tearing down candidates without the inconvenience of having to report their donors. Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, has made several efforts in recent legislative sessions to pass a bill to require disclosure for independent expenditure groups. He’s been successful in getting these bills through the Senate by wide bipartisan margins. But somehow this legislation always seems to stumble in the House. I saw it as an omen last week that the first radio ads related, if indirectly, to the governor’s race were produced by nonprofit organizations that aren’t connected to anyone’s campaign committee and that do not have to disclose their contributors. First there was the ad praising Gov. Susana Martinez for her handling of the controversial mental-health system shake-up. This was produced by a group called New Mexico Competes, which turns out to be operated by Sara Lister, a longtime New Mexico Republican operative who has worked in the Martinez administration. Back in April, a prominent GOP lawyer in Washington, D.C., named Craig Engle filed the incorporation papers for New Mexico Competes Inc. Engle never returned my phone calls about it, but later in the week he told Las Cruces Sun-News reporter James Staley, “I am not involved in the ongoing affairs of this organization and have no information that may be helpful to you.” So what is Engle’s connection? I can’t say for certain, but the website of his law firm, Arent Fox has this tidbit: “We handle all the corporate aspects of a Super PAC’s operation, from filing the certificate of incorporation; preparing bylaws, articles of incorporation, and preparing and filing your committee’s annual reports.” (Nonprofits, even political nonprofits, aren’t super-PACs. The latter has to disclose their contributors. But perhaps Engle’s firm provided similar services for New Mexico Competes.) On the opposite side of the issue was an ad blasting Martinez for what it called the “disaster” of the behavioral-health situation. This was by a coalition called “New Mexicans Fighting For Behavioral Health,” which, according to spokeswoman Linda Siegle, is made up of several organizations as well as individuals, including some of the New Mexico behavioral-health providers who had their Medicaid payments suspended after an outside audit reportedly showed possible fraud. This ad, which used lobbyist and former state Sen. Tom Rutherford for its narrator, seemed somewhat lower-budget than New Mexico Competes spot. For one thing, the anti-Martinez ad didn’t have that piano playing what sounds almost like the theme from The Exorcist. And Rutherford doesn’t sound nearly as intense as the woman on the pro-Martinez ad. Both Lister and Siegle will tell you that their respective ads are have nothing to do with the governor’s race. But I have no doubt we’ll be hearing more and more of these nonprofit radio messages as we get closer to November 2014.

Recall in Colorado fires warning shots

inding the lesson in the results of a special election takes time. Consider what happened last week in Colorado, when gun lovers successfully recalled two Democratic legislators who voted for modest changes in state gun laws. The lesson could be that voters will not stand for any perceived infringement on their right to bear arms. Two members of the Colorado Senate, including the president, voted for stricter gun control measures. John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Giron of Pueblo lost their seats in a recall election, the first in Colorado history. Morse was Senate president. The lesson gun advocates, including the National Rifle Association, want people to take away is simple. Legislators who vote for gun restrictions will be punished by voters. However, there is another lesson here, too, and it’s too soon to say which is more important. In a special election, a small number of voters who are passionate about an issue will win the day. Usually in Colorado, voters can cast ballots by mail. That was not the case this special election. What’s more, those opposing any restrictions on guns tried, and failed, to force a vote on two other Democratic lawmakers. There’s an argument to be made that the recall effort tied, 2-2. Additionally, the recall doesn’t change the makeup of the Legislature — Democrats are still in control, and the laws some voters vehemently oppose are still on the books. Colorado stiffened its gun laws in response to mass shootings. The state, of course, was the site of the Columbine school shootings back in 1999. Then, in summer 2012, came the Aurora movie theater killings. Those didn’t move lawmakers, though, until the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings last December. The common-sense measures adopted in Colorado included 15-round limits on ammunition magazines and expanded background checks on private gun sales. We don’t know whether this election is a sign of local dissatisfaction — Morse only won re-election last time by several hundred votes and Giron’s blue-collar district is one where even Democrats carry guns — or whether the recall proves that legislators who support gun safety will pay with their jobs. We do know this: The recalls served as proxy war for national interests. For once, the gun rights supporters were outspent; with supporters of gun control laws sending in some $4 million to the $340,000 or so spent by the NRA. Money lost, in other words. So who knows what happened in Colorado? Does the recall mean New Mexico’s blue state neighbor to the north will return to its more libertarian, cranky roots? Will legislators be afraid to pass sensible gun control laws? Will Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper win re-election? We won’t begin to understand until the votes are counted in 2014.

Rebooting a beloved parade

week ago, the wonderful 301st Fiesta de Santa Fe was coming to a close. We had witnessed pageantry, fashion, revelry on the Plaza, a renewed Zozobra and a particularly graceful Fiesta Court — with both Jason Jamie Lucero as Don Diego de Vargas and Kristy Ojinaga y Borrego as La Reina performing their duties with care throughout the extended Fiesta season. One highlight on the final day, of course, is the beloved Historical/Hysterical Parade (Desfile de la Gente), that silly, fun and annual exercise in celebrating the humor and history of this town. Organizers of both the Pet Parade (Desfile de los Niños) and the Historical/Hysterical Parade certainly welcomed a large group of participants in 2013. We would encourage the Fiesta Council, though, to work on parade entrance requirements, especially for the Historical/Hysterical parade, adjusting rules to encourage the frivolity and fun that should set it apart. Participation in parades should require more creativity than simply sticking paper flowers on a truck or walking and waving. Entrants should be encouraged to make floats — real ones — and show off their zany ideas in colorful and artistic fashion. We are, after all, a city of artists — we need more of them to participate. Improving prize money might help — the entry fee of $30 per vehicle per entry is quite affordable, and a boost could mean more dollars to reward creativity. If nothing else, increase entry fees for politicians. We’d either see fewer or make more money, both desirable outcomes. We had a wonderful Fiesta season, and all the volunteers — from the smallest Gloom at Zozobra to the many in the Fiesta Council who work year-round — deserve the city’s thanks. Factor in a few tweaks and bring back a truly creative parade, and Fiesta could be even better next year.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Sept. 15, 1913: This year the high school will play football for the first time in many years. Practice started Friday and a large crowd of boys were out. Virgil Likens was elected captain, and a good fast team is expected. Coach Lougee wants the large boys of the grammar grades to come out and learn the game, for he wants all the boys interested. The field will be marked off this week and the school board will erect the goal posts at once. It is hoped to play the College and the U.S. Indian School in the near future.

Assad’s early promise dissipates J

ust nine years ago, Syrian President Bashar Assad welcomed a dozen American journalists to his starkly opulent Damascus palace on a hilltop overlooking the ancient city. Black government SUVs sped us through the streets of the capital to a red-carpeted entrance into the soaring structure. He had an agenda to show himself as the enthusiastic new reformer. “Definitely, we are going to change,” said the then-39-year-old leader, apologizing for his English proficiency, but holding his own for 90 minutes with few interruptions for translation help. At that time in 2004, the U.S. had backed economic sanctions against Syria, alleging it allowed fighters to cross its border with Iraq to battle Western forces. Assad denied all, chiding the U.S. as not one to complain about border issues given the porous border with Mexico, and pricking America’s pro-democracy mantra, asking, “Is it the democracy of the Abu Ghraib prison?” “We don’t know how sanctions will affect us, but it’s not going to stop reform in Syria,” he asserted. Of course, there were centuries of traditions and customs to overcome, he demurred. And he was quite clear the U.S. pro-democracy efforts in the region would not be the deciding factor. Rather the Syrian way forward would be self-directed. “We have started a dialogue here,” he said. “The road is still very long. We are still in the beginning and we haven’t made great progress.” Those were the days when Assad, the unexpected heir to his father’s brutal dic-

tatorship, was preaching economic, social and political reform. He spoke of a desire to increase job opportunities, improve living standards, expand trade and provide more access to information and knowledge. He called these the “headlines of change” he backed. But his truth-telling capabilities were seriously compromised even then. He flatly denied Syrian Army influence in Lebanese politics or sending arms to Lebanon. All well-documented lies. But delivered with aplomb. More pertinent to today were charges then of advanced chemical weapons capability and a stockpile of the nerve gas sarin. While denying all, he eerily proceeded to describe the toxicity of chemical agents. Even a drop in a glass could kill, he explained, pretending to put a drop in his glass. It was such a vivid demonstration that most of us on an International Reporting Project-sponsored trip took a look at the mystery juice we had been sipping and left the rest untouched. Assad’s progress agenda has fallen silent. The London-trained ophthalmologist married to a British-born former J.P. Morgan employee still operates brutal prisons and has killed more than 100,000 of his own people since peaceful protests first emerged in 2011. Millions are now refugees

inside and outside Syria, and Damascus is tense as Congress considers President Barack Obama’s request to authorize a limited military strike in response to Assad’s recent and repeated use of chemical weapons against civilians. Meanwhile, Assad continues a bit of a public relations campaign, hosting a select few journalists. The stylish, suited leader with an Instagram account attempts to present an image of calm in a nation wracked by civil war and growing numbers of alQaida-affiliated terrorists. Early in his tenure, some experts suggested the young Assad might not be the military strongman of his father’s ilk. Now he looks much like his father, part of a minority Shiite faction with no hope of surviving any future coalition political solution to unrest. More likely, he could face indictment for crimes against humanity. Given Assad’s history of lies, lives taken and sanctions survived, limited military action can’t be counted on to drive him to change course. As Obama said early in the uprising, Assad needs to go. But how remains the difficult unknown. Miriam Pepper is the editorial page editor of The Kansas City Star.

COMMENTARY: DAVID ROTHKOPF

Globally, virtue is triumphing over vice WASHINGTON ometimes we in the media can’t help ourselves. We kick the big story to the curb in favor of the salacious one. We ignore the one with lasting global implications in favor of the one with a juicy video, a pretty blond protagonist or a celebrity falling off the wagon. The September/October issue of Foreign Policy deals with the global business of vice. Why? First, new technologies and old impulses are combining to ensure that vice spreads as never before. Drugs, corruption and self-indulgences of every sort are more accessible worldwide than ever. Download it. Order it online. Hop a regularly scheduled flight to a place with laxer laws. Use new technology to cover your trail. It’s a golden age for the seven deadly sins. We write about these things because they appeal to baser instincts: Given a choice between a story about how sex is selling better than ever in the information age or one about how new technologies are helping advance literacy rates, which would you read first? Of course, the alchemy between the spread of the Internet and literacy worldwide is a much, much bigger story that touches many more people and affects society in ways far more profound than the impact of even the hottest website offering real-life American losers access to imaginary Russian beauty queens. The facts tell the real story: The global spread of virtue and its byproducts trumps in every way the global spread of vice. For example, while approximately

Editorial page editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

three-quarters of a billion adults on our planet still cannot read, global literacy rates have grown steadily in the past two decades. In 1990, the rate was about 75 percent. Today it’s roughly 85 percent. What’s more, even those who are not yet able to read are no longer as isolated from society as they once were. Indeed, in the years ahead, the tools connecting them today can help them tap the resources already available to the literate. That’s why the growth of cellphone subscriptions from just 11 million in 1990 to nearly 7 billion today is so promising. Right now, according to the International Telecommunication Union, mobile-phone penetration is 128 percent in the developed world (some people have multiple mobile devices) and 89 percent in developing countries. That means global mobile-phone penetration has reached an astounding 96 percent. According to the same assessment, Internet penetration is currently 77 percent in the developed world and 31 percent in developing countries. That might not sound so promising — household penetration worldwide is only 41 percent — but consider that more than half the phones sold worldwide this year will be smartphones. Who needs desktop computers anymore? Access to essentially limitless information will accrue to effectively everyone, and in very short order. On top of the entire planet becoming connected to one another and to a wealth of information, over roughly the past quarter-century, the number of democracies in the world has nearly doubled from the 66 that existed in 1987, according to

Freedom House. And despite some backsliding in recent years — witness Egypt and Bahrain — countries that are not nominally or actively democratic are now by far the world’s outliers. Beyond education and politics, the global growth driven by new technologies and innovations is also producing an extraordinarily positive outcome: real and tangible wealth. In 1985, the global per capita income was around $6,200, according to World Bank purchasing power parity-based estimates. By 2010, it was almost $10,000. To be sure, growth rates have lagged in many low-income countries, and widening inequality between the top and bottom of the income spectrum is an enormously troubling problem in many parts of the world. Since 2000, however, global per capita income has increased more than 25 percent. Any way you slice it, that has to be a virtuous development. In short, despite the headlines blaring warnings of dire crises, gruesome developments, corrupt politicians, bullying states, greed, lust, gluttony and the global byproducts of all seven deadly sins, it’s worth noting that the forces spreading what’s wrong with the world are simultaneously making it a much better place to live. In fact, they’re doing it faster and more pervasively than they are creating problems. Don’t let the media fool you. Progress, it seems, actually is spreading. David Rothkopf is CEO and editor-at-large of Foreign Policy.

Beware the gold in hills of Santa Fe n June, Santa Fe Gold sent thousands of glossy brochures to Santa Feans, asking us to support a $2 billion mining project in the Ortiz Mountains that would create a crater more than 1,000 feet deep and tailings five stories high. The mine would need at least 200 acre-feet a year of water for a minimum of 10 years, heavily impacting our drought-stricken bioregion — particularly near Madrid, an area already affected by past mining. According to the 2010 Mining Task Report, Madrid’s well, drilled in 1984, flows from the Ortiz. It’s dropping 15 feet a year and might have less than 10 years of production left. Water is only one of many issues. The Turquoise Trail is one of New Mexico’s few National Scenic Byways and heavily reliant on tourism. Imagine, just south of Madrid, thunderous machinery crushing rock, pollution, dust clouds, trucking, creating a gash across the landscape nearly a mile wide. Recently, the Bureau of Land Management thoroughly considered these issues when it rejected a nearby gravel pit. Santa Fe Gold tries to make what seems to be a compelling economic argument. Yet, ripping out a mountain’s heart will require massive machinery, electricity and petrol sourced from outside Santa Fe County. Mining jobs are highly specialized. Santa Fe Gold’s four current mining projects employ just 71 people. A letter in the brochure explains that the company is “seeking to implement a local hiring preference.” That does not assure local hiring preference or local jobs. Employment generated by Agua Fria Nursery or Collected Works bookstore might well provide more work than this mine. Santa Fe Gold recently merged with International Goldfields Ltd., an Australian company with operations in Brazil, Australia and West Africa. With multinational mining giants, real wealth is always exported to shareholders. Think of International Goldfields Ltd. every time you hear from Santa Fe Gold. What’s more, some surface rights of the mining area are owned by a working ranch family since 1965. The land also is of great cultural significance to the neighboring pueblos. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden’s Ortiz Mountain Educational Preserve and the Galisteo Basin Preserve, adjacent to the mining area, have 285 vertebrate species, including collared lizards, corn snakes, cougar, deer, fox and seven species of bat. Among 80 species of birds are the rock wren, blue grosbeak, Swainson’s hawk and greater roadrunner. Other rich mineral deposits exist around the Ortiz. Approval could set an onerous precedent, transforming this exquisite high desert bioregion into a mining sacrifice zone. Mining in the Ortiz would be completely contrary to Santa Fe County’s Sustainable Growth Management Plan, which states: “All levels of county decision-making must consider sustainability, conservation of resources, energy and green development policies to ensure that resources are available to sustain future generations.” This issue is about who we are and what we want our future to be. That is why businesses, nonprofits, environmental organizations and concerned citizens are organizing to oppose the efforts of the Australian mining giant, International Goldfields Ltd. (aka Santa Fe Gold). To keep informed, like us on Facebook: Stop Santa Fe Gold.

attended my niece Cara’s wedding ceremony and reception last month in the Chicago suburbs. In many ways, it was a lot like my other nieces’ weddings. She wore a beautiful flowing white gown, she exchanged rings and vows with a minister presiding, she danced her first dance with her dad and was given Champagne toasts by her sisters. OK, even I’d be among the first to say that her wedding was different from her sisters’ weddings. The main difference was that there were two beautiful — yes — blushing brides dressed in elegant formal wedding gowns. But what wasn’t different was the love and support she felt from her family and friends. My other two nieces and their husbands refer to themselves, along with Cara and Denise, as the “sixpack.” They often go to ballgames, parties and on weekend trips together. And my sister, Mary, got emotional as she welcomed Cara’s spouse, Denise, formally into the family. Cara and Denise always help my sister, my mom — Cara’s grandmother — and my other nieces make the Christmas cookies every year. In every sense of the word, they are part of the family. Cara was

particularly pleased that her grandparents (85 and 89 years old and married for 62 years) could support them at their wedding. When I arrived back in Santa Fe and read all of the headlines about the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses, I realized that Cara and Denise don’t yet have what Cara’s sisters have — a marriage license. My 28-year-old niece owns a home with Denise and has made a lifetime commitment to her before God, family and friends, but still does not have a marriage license. The more I think about it, the more it breaks my heart. I can’t imagine one day, if Cara were ill and in intensive care, that Denise could be denied access to see her or make decisions about her treatment. I can’t imagine that after a lifetime commitment, if one should die, that the other could not claim Social Security survivor benefits. Both Cara and Denise are young career professionals who are optimistic about eventually getting a marriage license. But that issue has not been resolved in Illinois. When I read the newspaper stories here in New Mexico about recipients of same-sex marriage licenses, my heart rejoiced. As my

mother said, “It’s a step in the right direction.” Yet, there still is no statewide resolution of the issue. I am keenly aware that the newly issued same-sex New Mexico marriage licenses are being legally challenged by some legislators. I am hopeful, however, that politicians and judges in our state will put the civil rights of individuals above any political agendas. I became teary-eyed last spring when Illinois Republican Sen. Mike Kirk said, “Same-sex couples should have the right to civil marriage.” The senator, who was recovering from a stroke added, “Our time on this Earth is limited, I know that better than most. Life comes down to who you love and who loves you back — government has no place in the middle.” He explained that the message of Stephen Spielberg’s movie, Lincoln, had inspired him to make his statement. Our state’s governor, lawmakers and judges are at a major crossroads in history. My hope is that the leaders in the state that I proudly call home will be moved to support the civil rights of all people.

MY VIEW: CLAUDE PHIPPS

Will the U.S. ever learn?

here are some changes happening in our country, and some of them are good. In 2001, the U.S. absorbed a tremendous and completely unexpected blow. Some 3,000 innocent U.S. citizens were killed. Osama bin Laden, no stranger to ROI (return on investment) bragged that his ROI on this one was a million to one. In other words, he spent perhaps $100,000 and it cost us $100 billion over time. Other costs were not quantifiable — I think of that every time I take my shoes off in the airport. We were desperate. Someone should pay! So, instead of Afghanistan or Pakistan, we attacked Iraq, which had nothing at all to do with the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. But we were told by our president and others that we trusted that there was absolute proof that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Even Gen. Colin Powell believed what he was told, destroying his career in the process. But what we were told was not true, as we all now know. It was the last time we would blindly trust our leaders. This is a new and positive change, a first since I have been living. It took a long time. Lyndon Johnson told us we had to attack the Vietnamese because they attacked one of our ships in the Tonkin Gulf. That was a lie. Then both Bushes decided that Saddam had to be brought down, and created the WMD myth. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen a creepy echo of those times and those messages, and the responsible person is a president many of us trusted to be different from the Bushes, and to do the right thing. Someone who came into office saying he wanted to reduce war expenditures and improve the situation of ordinary people. People want to believe him. I do. But it’s clear that the same folks in the security and defense agencies in Washington that are now spying on our

every word deceived him, too. Will we ever learn? I believe the answer is: yes! To be honest, the proper quesClaude tion is not, Phipps “Will we ever learn?” but, “Will Washington ever learn?” Our people have learned their lesson, and do not want this war. Congressman Alan Grayson, D-Fla., tells us that, 3 to 1, Americans who care enough to write and call don’t want to attack Syria. We are tired of war. We cannot morally spend these resources on more war while people in the U.S. don’t have adequate health care, education and employment. I am so proud of us as a nation. Our leaders are surprised, shocked, because they’ve been in their own echo chambers for so long. They don’t have the votes to force this through Congress. This is a democracy, and the people, here as in Britain, have spoken. Newt Gingrich on the Sept. 8 Meet the Press put it succinctly: “Since 1979, we’ve been in the Middle East in some way. We’re tired of being in a region where everybody just wants to kill each other!” Something new here! A really healthy “it’s-not-ourproblem” attitude, which I never thought I’d see. Today, the situation looks hopeful. Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Syria’s Bashar Assad jumped on a “casual” remark by Secretary of State John Kerry that offered to halt the attack if Assad would put his chemical weapons under international control within a week. And there’s just a tiny possibility that this president is smart like a fox. Claude Phipps, Ph.D, is a physicist who worked at Los Alamos for many years. He lives in lower Cañoncito with his life partner, Shanti Bannwart.

Respect 101: Are health care providers failing?

anta Fe County and Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center recently released a 125-page Community Health Profile that reported disturbing statistics about obesity, overdoses, people without health insurance and increasing poverty. I was more disturbed by another finding buried on page 84 of this excellent report, in a section summarizing the feedback from focus groups of diverse consumers about our local health care system. For full effect, I must quote verbatim: “Health care consumers felt that health care would be more effective if providers were better listeners and, in some instances, more respectful of their patients. Among the consumers most likely to feel judged or disrespected by health care providers were those who were low-income or lacked insurance, the mentally ill, clients seeking treatment for substance abuse or

Higher education is fundamental to Los Alamos

s the president of New Mexico’s flagship institution, I am proud to have a branch campus in Los Alamos, located in the heart of a premier science and technology community and home to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. UNM Los Alamos (UNM-LA) has been serving Los Alamos and Northern New Mexico since 1980 by preparing talented students to continue their academic journey at UNM’s main campus in Albuquerque. Our students’ foundational instruction at UNM Los Alamos is exceptional, as demonstrated by their high graduation rate (62 percent) and job placement rate in the workforce (81 percent). Higher education is about opportunity. A June 2013 report by the Georgetown Public Policy Institute Center on Education and Workforce indicated that by 2020, 65 percent of all jobs in the economy will require post-secondary education and training beyond high school, and 35 percent will require at least a bachelor’s degree; by 2020 the U.S. will also fall short by 5 million workers with post-secondary education. Jobs in science, technology, engineering, health care and Mathematics will grow the fastest among occupational clusters. UNM-LA’s curriculum has been responsive to these indicators and is predicated on building solid programs and growing to meet the economic and educational needs of Northern New Mexico. UNM Los Alamos is serving the Los Alamos community via its many partnerships with Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos Public Schools, Los Alamos County and several pueblos in Northern New Mexico.

UNM-LA demonstrates this dynamic relationship in its delivery of dualcredit courses for high school students, the newly implemented Fire Science degree, Tech Frontiers program and a STEM Academy. UNM Extended University further connects Los Alamos to UNM’s main campus in Albuquerque by offering bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees for those individuals with aspirations for advanced degrees utilizing the latest in distance education delivery technology. By listening to community needs and working collaboratively to develop educational opportunities, UNM-LA is a strong and vital contributor to the quality of life in Los Alamos. I am pleased to see the support UNM-LA has received for the upcoming mil levy special election. Recent bipartisan endorsements transcend the political discourse we experience at the national level and define a strength found in Los Alamos, a community that respects and values education as a fundamental cornerstone to its future. The special election will determine Los Alamos’ capacity for higher education in the years to come. I can assure you that UNM is dedicated to developing educational programs that support key sectors of Northern New Mexico’s economic and social development. As the mail-in deadline for ballots approaches on Tuesday, every voter has an opportunity to enable future generations access to educational services, and to achieve their academic and career goals.

worry providers and patients alike, and worry is contagious. Social Security and Medicare are not so secure or caring anymore. Medicaid is a political football that can bounce in unpredictable ways, and having more people “covered” doesn’t guarantee improved care or health. Finally, costs are unsustainable and, given the relatively poor health status of America vis-à-vis other developed nations, criminally inflated. At Solace Crisis Treatment Center, we work hard at respectful listening and staying positive, but our services are specialized and our reach is limited. When marginalized people complain about long waits, rushed visits, and other kinds of poor service, it should be a gut-check for providers and a call to action for all of us. We are all health care users.

Teachers: All heart and perseverance

ov. Susana Martinez’s plan to offer $5,000 stipends to teachers who move from A or B schools to D or F schools is at best a slap in the face to the teachers working every day to improve their schools.

t was a festive Fiesta last week, filled with activities including the community-oriented Historical/Hysterical Parade. We found ourselves a shaded spot along Paseo de Peralta to watch the numerous horses and marching bands while candy rained down from the endless number of colorful floats. There were memorable ones, like the marionette and Zozobra with dancing zombies, and the plumbing business with a very talented band playing a Jimmy Hendrix-like tune. For me, though, the ones I kept remarking on were the political entries and their supporters campaigning for various offices or for issues like peace and right to Bizia Greene life. I lost count of how many mayEtiquette Rules! oral candidates paraded by. After years of presidential ads bombarding the airwaves, it is another electoral season. We had a nice lull there — although not quite long enough, in my opinion — to recover from the vitriol and divisiveness of the 2012 elections. The rules of etiquette go out the window for campaigning politicians. Candidates spend obscene amounts of money to berate and smear their opponents in the most public of settings. Ironically, the etiquette of the political discussion requires an obscene amount of decorum and restraint. Our local discussions include same-sex marriage and fracking. And the world at large weighs in on the Quebec Charter of Values (the banning of religious symbols for public workers), Afghan peace talks and the controversial and emotional hot-button topic of the moment: whether or not to attack Syria. The mood is electric, and it almost makes me long for what are, in comparison, the now almost benign headlines on twerking at the MTV Awards — Miley Cyrus’ blurred line between self-expression and desperation. There is no shortage of topics to debate, although you don’t need an election to stir the pot. If there’s one rule that etiquette doesn’t flip-flop on, it’s how to handle religion, politics and sex in conversation. Although etiquette is evolving with the times, this rule is to remind you to tread carefully. In this politically charged time, how do we voice our opinions in a respectful yet convincing way? When a controversial issue comes up in conversation, ask yourself these questions before engaging: u Is it the appropriate time and setting? (I don’t recommend weddings and Christmas.) u Do you want to get involved? u Have you considered the consequences? (Are your in-laws at the table?) u Can you remain calm and listen without interrupting? u Are you in the company of people who can agree to disagree? If you’ve answered no to any of these questions, there’s no hanging chad about it, a political discussion will only have you seeing red or feeling blue. An inappropriate setting, tone or delivery undermines the issues you are campaigning for, which will do little to enlighten your peers. When the conditions are right, an invigorating discussion stimulates and educates. As Old Man Gloom burned, with him went feelings of gloom and doom accumulated throughout the year. We’ve got a long year ahead for constructive conversation, hopefully followed by progress. Until we can let go of the weight of our battles next year, follow these rules of engagement, and cast your vote for etiquette. Bizia Greene owns and operates the Etiquette School of Santa Fe.

Student-driven project puts books in hands of community

Lawmakers join teachers in suit over evaluations Union says new plan violates state’s School Personnel Act By Robert Nott The New Mexican

her classmates took a break from restocking children’s books Friday at the New Mexico Human Services Department’s Income Support Division office in Santa Fe. “We jumped on and said, ‘Yeah, we want to do that, too.’ “The middle-schoolers had been studying Ghandi that year and how stuff he did changed things immensely,” Holdsworth said. “They decided they wanted to do the same. They realized one of the big pressing problems in New Mexico was that a lot of people in [the state] cannot read.

A trio of Democratic lawmakers have joined with a state teachers union and others to stop the Public Education Department from initiating a new teacher evaluation system. The petition, filed in an Albuquerque District Court last week, argues that Education Secretarydesignate Hanna Skandera is violating the state’s School Personnel Act by changing some aspects of the teacher evaluation plan without garnering legislative approval. Since 2003, teachers have been evaluated on a three-tier licensure system that deems them as either meeting or failing competency standards. Since coming on board early in 2011, Skandera has pushed for a new system that connects teacher accountability to student test scores, among other factors. This effort is in turn tied to the state’s attempts to attain a waiver to certain No Child Left Behind Act mandates. The Obama administration has stressed the need to implement more rigorous evaluation programs as part of its educational reform package. The Public Education Department’s new system, which goes into effect this year, creates five tiers of evaluation and bases 35 percent of a teacher’s evaluation on three years’ worth of students’ Standards Based Assessment scores. The state plan also includes attendance records and two classroom observations, one of which will be conducted by an evaluator who is not necessarily a principal. The lawsuit emphasizes this last point, noting that the state’s School Personnel Act calls for a school principal to observe teachers in the classroom. Speaking by telephone Friday, Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation, called the new standards “punitive and draconian” and said they are “literally knocking teachers out.” “I have never seen such a disheartened, demoralized group of people,” she said of the state’s educators.

The lure of reading By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

reading program launched by Santa Fe youth now boasts 11 sites around the city where kids can rummage through books and take some home. The aim: Get books into the hands of kids and encourage them to read. Along with the free book sites, students in the program host reading contests with some pretty big incentives for participants, ranging from Kindles and laptops to — of course — books.

Coaxing youth to read real paperback and hardbound books seems an odd idea in an era of computer games, e-books and all things digital. So far, though, students involved with the program and their adult sponsors said the idea is proving popular. They said it’s even hard to keep shelves stocked with books at some of the sites. Julianna Piechowicz and Indu Holdsworth, both 13, have been helping with the program since it began three years ago. Both are students at the School for the Arts and Sciences, where the idea originated. “Students a year older than us came up with the idea,” Holdsworth said, as she and

Firearm discharges in Weck’s robbery

By Adele Oliveira The New Mexican

When the congregation of Christ Lutheran Church met for the first time in 1962, its members gathered in a metal Quonset hut — formerly a laundromat — that once stood on Early Street. The church, celebrating its 50th anniversary Sunday, was formally incorporated into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America the following year. Today, Christ Lutheran’s 150 parishioners worship in an eclectic sanctuary that was constructed over six months in 1966 at 1701 Arroyo Chamiso Road. Doug Peterson, who joined Christ Lutheran a couple years after the church’s founding, remembers when the church was built and the solid wood cross, which hangs above the altar, was hoisted into place. Peterson said the church’s sanctuary is “a simple design, but we tried to incorporate as much New Mexico influence as we could.” He pointed

Police say a Weck’s manager briefly snatched a gun away from two men who were trying to tie him up during a robbery at the restaurant, 2000 Cerrillos Road, on Saturday afternoon. The gun fired during a struggle, a report says, but no one was shot, and the suspects were able to flee with the gun and cash. The manager told police that not long after the restaurant had closed, an employee returned to retrieve items he had left behind. When the manager let the employee out of the restaurant through the locked rear door at about 3:20 p.m., two men entered with a small-caliber black handgun and demanded money. The men forced the manager to open a safe and grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash. And then, as they attempted to tie up the restaurant manager, they put the firearm down, and the manager grabbed it, police said. There were no injuries when the firearm discharged as the suspects wrestled the gun away from the manager, but police said

one of the suspects may have sustained a head laceration. The suspects fled the scene with the money and the firearm in a gray Toyota sedan. They are described as heavyset males wearing dark clothing. When officers later interviewed the Weck’s employee, identified as Thomas Charles Pacheco, 34, at a residence on Gallegos Lane, they discovered he was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant and took him into custody. Police ask that anyone with information about the robbery call 955-5049.

Doña Ana clerk raises nearly $30,000 for gay marriage fund LAS CRUCES — A Southern New Mexico county clerk who is facing a challenge for his decision to issue same-sex marriage licenses has garnered close to $30,000 in donations, the clerk announced this week. The Las Cruces Sun-News reported that Doña Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins has pulled in 556 donations totaling nearly $28,400 from a website. That’s about 75 percent of the estimated $40,000 goal Ellins says will be needed to defend against a lawsuit filed by a group of state legislators who’ve challenged in court his issuing of marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. Ellins issued the first

licenses to same-sex couples on Aug. 21. He says around 225 licenses have been dispersed to date. State Sen. William Sharer, R-Farmington, and a group of legislators filed a lawsuit Aug. 29, challenging the legality of Ellins decision. Ellins has said he recognizes that not all county taxpayers agree with his decision, and so he doesn’t want them to be liable for the expense. He’s said that’s the reason he’s seeking private donations to pay the expense beyond $10,000 that will come from the county’s insurer without affecting county premiums. The Associated Press

A stint in textbook publishing followed, but in 2006 she began studies at the University of Santa Monica in Southern California to embark upon a new career as a counselor and healer, fulfilling her master’s degree in spiritual psychology in 2008. She married Jerry Christopher in 2009. The couple resided in Austin until moving to Santa Fe in 2011. Debbie was the oldest of four children born to John F. Starr and Beverly S. Starr of Charlestown, Rhode Island and Venice, Florida. She is survived by her husband, Jerry; by her parents; by her sisters, Ellen E. Starr of Poway, California and Jennifer A. Starr of Bloomington, Indiana; her brother, J. Markham Starr of North Stonington, Connecticut; her niece, Sarah Starr-Murphy; and her nephew, Daniel K. Starr. Her niece Emily Starr-Cooke died in 2012. An avid horticulturist and photographer, Debbie was always drawn to the high desert and was happiest living in Santa Fe. As a healer, she brightened many lives with her strong and generous soul. Friends and colleagues felt themselves privileged to know her. She was a comfort and a light to her family and to those close to her, leaving a void in their hearts that can never be filled. Keeping Quiet Pablo Neruda Now we will count to twelve and we will all keep still for once on the face of the earth, let’s not speak in any language; let’s stop for a second, and not move our arms so much. It would be an exotic moment without rush, without engines; we would all be together in a sudden strangeness. Fishermen in the cold sea would not harm whales and the man gathering salt would not look at his hurt hands. Those who prepare green wars, wars with gas, wars with fire, victories with no survivors, would put on clean clothes and walk about with their brothers in the shade, doing nothing.

What I want should not be confused with total inactivity. Life is what it is about... If we were not so single-minded about keeping our lives moving, and for once could do nothing, perhaps a huge silence might interrupt this sadness of never understanding ourselves and of threatening ourselves with death. Now I’ll count up to twelve and you keep quiet and I will go.

In brief Police seek robbery suspect The Santa Fe Police Department is searching for Alex Gallegos, 29, as a suspect in a Tuesday robbery at a convenience store on Siler Road. He is considered armed and dangerous, according to Alex Gallegos police. The Latinos Unidos Convenience Store, 1242 Siler Road, was robbed just after 11 a.m. Tuesday. Police believe more than one person was involved in the crime, which was recorded by a surveillance camera. The footage shows a red 2004 Dodge Stratus leaving the scene, and police say it belongs to Gallegos. On the tape, a blond man between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall, weighing about 170 pounds, flashes a handgun hidden in his waistband and demands that the store clerk hand over the cash in the register. The unknown suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money. If anyone sees the car, has information about Gallegos’ location or can identify the man in the video, police are asking them to call 428-3710 or Crime Stoppers at 955-5050.

Forum planned on power system A public forum is planned from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Scottish Rite Temple, 463 Paseo de Peralta, on the question of whether Santa Fe’s electric power system should be publicly owned. The League of Women Voters of Santa Fe County, the Sierra Club of Northern New Mexico and New Energy Economy are hosting the free public forum. According to a news release, a not-for-profit energy system could mean less coal burning, more renewable energy, savings for consumers and new jobs for Santa Fe. Speakers on Wednesday will include Karl R. Rábago, former vice president of Austin Energy; Nann Winter, a New Mexico attorney specializing in municipal utilities; and Paul Campos, an attorney and former Santa Fe County commissioner. For more information, contact Judy Williams at 920-7817 or jkwilliams24@gmail.com.

Hearing set for horse slaughter ROSWELL — The New Mexico Environment Department has set a public hearing on a water discharge permit for a Roswell company seeking to open up a horse slaughter processing plant. The Roswell Daily Record reported that a hearing at the 5th Judicial District Courthouse has been scheduled next month on Valley Meat Co.’s permit. State officials say the hearing was required after the department’s Water Quality Bureau received more than 450 public comments concerning Valley Meat’s application. Kevin Powers of the Environment Department’s Office of General Counsel says less than 12 of the public responses were received from New Mexico residents.

Intel cuts force in Rio Rancho ALBUQUERQUE — Intel Cop. says it is reducing the workforce at its chip-making plant in Rio Rancho. The Albuquerque Journal reported that Intel plans to “redeploy” 400 of the Rio Rancho plant’s 3,300 workers due to a changing market. The announcement didn’t provide details about what will happen with the workers, but it says the company is offering various options to the affected workers. Those include transfers to other Intel sites and voluntary retirement and separation packages. Staff and wire reports

Suit: State Supreme Court denied motion in 2012 Continued from Page C-1 of Teachers-New Mexico, said teachers are overwhelmed by the move and wish to focus on working with the new Common Core Standards this year rather than be placed under additional pressure with a new evaluation system. She said all 31 chapters of the union in the state — which together represent at least 15,000 teachers — voted to

join the lawsuit. Bernstein said Albuquerque teachers are supportive of a new evaluation plan “as long as the system is welldeveloped, well-implemented, based on research, and has some integrity.” Ly echoed that thought, noting that teachers would like at least an additional year to play a role in revamping the evaluation system to “provide positive feedback to teachers and reflect

back on how they can improve their teaching.” Although NEA-Santa Fe did not join the lawsuit, the organization’s head, Bernice Garcia-Baca, said she thinks most Santa Fe teachers “would be in favor of anything that would slow down the implementation of this plan. I think everybody feels that this evaluation system — especially the high reliance on testing scores to indicate whether a teacher is

Books: Donations welcome Continued from Page C-1 “The first idea was to distribute books to people, because some people just cannot afford them. Then the other idea is, we actually need people to read books. So we started having contests with really cool prizes.” At the Income Support Division office off the Interstate 25 Frontage Road, the students converted a small glassed-in area into an inviting reading room for children who often have long waits with their parents. They put in colorful carpets and comfortable, kidsized easy chairs. There are even a few toys. One of the shelf stockers, Alex Malhotra, 14, said the division’s site is one of the most popular, and they often have to resupply it with books. On Friday, as soon as the middle-schoolers were finished sorting and restocking the shelves with books in English and Spanish, two little girls wandered in to take a look. Ava Love-Montoya, 3, and Madison Quintana, 4, both said they like to read books. “My favorite is Beauty and the Beast,” Madison said. “I go to the library with my Nona [grandmother].” “Me, too,” Ava said. The bookstop project now involves youth from Capital High School, Santa Fe High, Acequia Madre Elementary, Monte del Sol Charter School, the Academy for Technology and the Classics, Santa Fe Prep and the New Mexico School for the Arts. Students from each school are part of a steering committee called Youth United for Hooked on Books. The committee thinks up the various contests and prizes, judges

Seventh-grader Gabe Maestas, 12, who said he didn’t learn to read well until second grade, will help tutor other youth through the program. Middle-schoolers from the Santa Fe School for the Arts and Sciences also tutor elementary students at César Chávez Community School every Friday morning throughout the year. The student program also collects and distributes books to the Prison Project, which provides books for prisoners and their children. The community can help the reading program by sponsoring a bookshelf or donating books.

Adult books can be donated in Hooked on Books’ name to Op Cit books in the Sanbusco Center or Books & More on Cerrillos Road. Books can also be dropped off at donation bins at Java Joe’s on Rodeo Road and any New Mexico Bank and Trust office. The Youth United reading efforts earned a national Peace Jam youth service award last year.

Flooding: Small creeks surge Continued from Page C-1 Mineral Hill and N.M. 65 in the Gallinas Canyon, both west of Las Vegas. The roads were the only way to safety for residents who lived between the two routes. Lawrence Sanchez had watched the Tecolote Creek near his house in Mineral Hill swelling dangerously Friday when a wedding party stopped to ask if they could use his footbridge. “They used a wheelbarrow to take all their decorations across. They decided it was safer to move the party into Las Vegas,” Sanchez said with a chuckle, as he stood with friends and talked about the flood Saturday. He said Tecolote Creek usually runs less than a couple of feet deep and 3 to 4 feet wide. On Friday, he said, the floodwaters swirled around his house and back porch and then receded. His friend Sam Dixon said the rain gauge at his Mineral Hill home measured 7 inches of rain from Tuesday to Saturday morning. A cousin’s rain gauge in another part of the valley collected 10 inches in the same time period. Dixon estimated more than 200 people over age 70 live in the area. “The older people can’t get out when the roads flood,” he said. Before the drought of the last five years shrank the creek flows, said Mineral Hill resident Josef Jaureguiberry, N.M. 283 and a smaller road to the Church of Christ Blue Haven Camp would become muddy and briefly impassable a couple of times a year, “But nothing like this.” The flooding washed out a newly improved road leading to houses past the Blue Haven Camp, including Jaurguiberry’s parents. “It took us 25 years to get the road,” Dixon said. “Mother Nature just took it back,” Sanchez added. The Gallinas Creek, which is the primary water source for Las Vegas, swelled with floodwaters Thursday and Friday. The creek roared through the narrow Gallinas Canyon, toppling trees, wiping out bridges

and private driveways and burying a Santa Fe National Forest campground under inches of mud. One couple in the canyon tried to leave their home Friday, only to have both roads leading to safety blocked by floodwaters. The couple were finally rescued by a helicopter near midnight. The Gallinas Creek flow had fallen to less than 5 cubic feet per second, barely enough to wet a toe, until Tuesday. As rain in the mountains began pouring into the creek, the volume of water shot up to more than 1,000 cfs. By Friday, it had doubled until it went off the chart as measured at the Lourdes gauge. Rain fell most of Friday night and Saturday morning around Santa Fe and villages to the north. One Santa Fe rain gauge collected 2 inches of rain, while a gauge in Truchas measured 2.2 inches. At 8 p.m. Saturday night, the Rio Grande measured at the Otowi gauge between Santa Fe and Los Alamos was moving at 2,000 cfs, more than twice its average for this time. Elsewhere in New Mexico, officials said heavy rain Friday caused the Rio Grande and nearby creeks to overflow in Sierra County and forced an unknown number of residents to evacuate. In response, Gov. Susana Martinez issued a state of emergency for all of New Mexico to open up recovery funding. The governor was scheduled to tour flood damage at Truth or Consequences and Las Vegas Saturday. In Doña Ana County, heavy rains overwhelmed an aging earthen dam outside La Union causing flooded homes, washed out roads and utility outages. County spokesman Jess Williams told the Las Cruces SunNews that no injuries were reported and he did not know how many people were affected. “It’s yet another wake-up call,” Williams said, referring to the many earthen dams throughout Doña Ana County. “They were never meant to protect residential areas.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

good or not — is not sensible.” Democratic Sens. Howie Morales and Linda Lopez joined state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton and the American Federation of Teachers-New Mexico, as well as Bernstein and teacher Ryan Ross, in the petition. Lopez and Stapleton joined the teachers union and others in a similar petition in the state Supreme Court in late 2012, but their motion was denied.

This action led them to pursue action in District Court, Bernstein said. On Friday, Larry Behrens, spokesperson for the Public Education Department, said via email that “the lawsuit rehashes the same tired arguments the Supreme Court rejected late last year. We will fight yet another tactic to delay because we understand over 300,000 New Mexico students deserve better.”

Church: Is inclusive Continued from Page C-1 ment of the Rev. Benjamin Larzelere III after 37 years with the church. A search for a permanent pastor is underway. Schlechter is the church’s first female pastor, and she noted that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America also recently elected Elizabeth Eaton as its first female presiding bishop. Christ Lutheran preaches a message of inclusivity: It’s supportive of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals and has a longstanding friendship with Temple Beth Shalom, whose Rabbi Schwab often attends services at the church. Every fall, Christ Lutheran hosts a breaking of the fast for Temple Beth Shalom following Yom Kippur, while Temple Beth Shalom buys Christ Lutheran a wreath during the December holidays. “Theologically, our interpretation is that there are no distinctions between people, no qualifiers,” said Rickey Faehl, who has been a member of Christ Lutheran since the 1970s. “We implicitly welcome people of all stripes — we even have a Buddhist priest who comes on Sundays.” “[Inclusivity] is not just about sexual orientation,” Schlechter added. “It goes back to civil rights and a strong sense of social justice.” Community engagement is a way of life at Christ Lutheran. Back in the early 1970s, the church helped found the Santa Fe Farmers Market, financially assisting farmers so they could bring their produce to town. Christ Lutheran is home to weekly events hosted by

outside groups, like courtmandated DWI courses, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and Zumba classes. Every Thursday, congregation members distribute bags of groceries purchased from The Food Depot to 20 or 30 families. When the Cerro Grande Fire led to the evacuation of much of Los Alamos in 2000, the church served as a refuge for people forced to leave their homes. The size of Christ Lutheran’s congregation is about the same today as it was in the mid-1960s. “It used to be if you built it, they would come,” Peterson observed, “but since the church’s founding, the world has changed around it.” Currently, the church has five members under the age of 18 and continuously considers how to reach out to youth. “It’s something we’re concerned about, because we really think we have something of value to give younger people,” Faehl said. While Christ Lutheran members are united in being good neighbors and, as Faehl put it, “being a Christ-centered community,” they don’t agree on all political and social issues. But Schlechter believes that’s of little consequence. “We’re diverse, but we’re united before the altar,” she said. “We’re equal before God.” On Sunday, Sept. 15, Christ Lutheran will celebrate turning 50 with a catered luncheon. Regular services are held at 8 and 10 a.m. every Sunday. To learn more about the church, call 983-9461 or visit www. clcsantafe.com.

Funeral services and memorials JOE WERNER WOOD On September 9, 2013 at the age of 89, Joe Werner Wood died peacefully at home having been a good loving son, brother, husband, father and grandpa. He accomplished much and left the world a better place. Born January 28, 1924 in Heber Springs, Arkansas to Bynum and Zula Wood, Joe was one of four boys. He graduated from Little Rock High School. In December 1941, Joe joined the U.S Navy and served until February 1946. During that period, Joe attended Midshipman School at Notre Dame University where he was on the tennis team. After leaving the Navy, Joe hitchhiked out to New Mexico. He was in the first graduating class of the University Of New Mexico School Of Law in 1950. He was admitted to the State Bar of New Mexico that same year. During Joe’s 51 years of legal service to the people of New Mexico, he worked as an attorney of the New Mexico Legislative Counsel Service, in private law practice in Farmington and as Judge of the New Mexico court of Appeals from 1966 to 1986. He served as Chief Judge of Court of Appeals from 1971-1981. After leaving the Court of Appeals in 1986, Joe worked Of-Counsel at the Hinkle Law Firm until he took inactive status as a lawyer at the end of September 2001. The driving forces in Joe’s life were his family and the deeply held desire to be fair to all. He had a fine sense of humor. He read extensively, really enjoying reading all kinds of history books and Agatha Christie Mystery books. He passed on a love of reading to his three daughters. He also taught his daughters the value of hard work, the love of nature, and the value of helping other people. Joe lived and breathed the law. He considered the finest compliment he ever got was from two young lawyers working different sides of a case; they discovered that Judge Wood decided each case as he saw it, he never favored any side. He is survived by his three daughters: Lorraine Wood Nicholls (Simon), Rachel Wood (Kevin Haughton) and Helen Wood; grandchildren: Megan and Alex Haughton. We shall miss you Joe, we love you.

Carrier struggles in loss to Panthers By Dale Grdnic

The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Kasey Carrier led the nation in rushing after just two games, but New Mexico’s senior tailback met his match against Pitt in Game 3. The Panthers Panthers 49 held Carrier to just 22 yards on Lobos 27 seven carries and beat the Lobos 49-27 in a nonconference game Saturday afternoon at Heinz Field. Pitt (1-1, 0-1 ACC), which returns to ACC play Saturday at Duke, got a big play from dynamic freshman Tyler Boyd in its second series. Boyd hauled in a 51-yard reception offense despite being interfered with on the play by New Mexico cornerback Cranston Jones. “We got hit in the mouth right off the bat,” New Mexico coach Bob Davie said. “It started with the early big pass. I believe it was the jump ball down the field to No. 23 [Boyd] on the first play-action. We were tentative early. “We were wobbly early. That’s what I told our team. We couldn’t stop them. … We are so young and not very big. If there is any encouragement, I didn’t see anyone, after getting punched in the mouth, just run and hide.” Pitt actually got five touchdowns from its talented freshman class and a dominant performance from its defense in the first half. The Panthers held New Mexico (1-2) to just 59 total

One golf promotion for the ages

e’ve all had bad ideas that at the moment they bubbled up from the depths — OK, maybe the shallows — seemed like good ideas. Then there are ideas like, well, like the one that someone at the Tumbledown Trails Golf Course in Verona, Wis., came up with to try to Jim Gordon make a buck off last week’s 12th The Anti-Fan anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. To commemorate the day when nearly 3,000 people died as two hijacked planes flew into the World Trade Center, one crashed into the Pentagon while a fourth destined for Washington was downed in a Pennsylvania field, the course advertised the following: “Nine holes for just $9.11! 18 for $19.11, which barely makes sense, but it’s got 9/11 in it! We’ll even throw in a cart!” Very shortly after the ad ran in a local paper, what they threw in was the towel. “We would first like to apologize to everyone that we have upset or feels we have disrespected in anyway. By no means did we mean to do this. Here is what we will do this Wednesday 9-11; we will still let all that have tee times booked play for the previous rates we posted. Then for all other golf that day we would like to donate the $ difference between our normal rate and the previous price for the day to the 9/11 Memorial. We hope that everyone will now see this as a positive as we really meant it to be. Again we do sincerely apologize for offending anyone & hope that you do accept our sincere apology.” The positive it was really meant to be? Judging from the fact the course

Jim Parker of Santa Fe plays tennis at the Sangre de Cristo Racquet Club on Aug. 22. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

At 70, Jim Parker has collected over 100 gold balls awarded to winners of national championships — and he’s still playing By Anne Constable The New Mexican

im Parker claims to feel “blessed that I’m still vertical,” but the veteran Santa Fe tennis player, gentleman and coach who turned 70 this year is a master of a lot of other angles, at least on the tennis court. In his youth, Parker played against the greats of the game — legends like Ken Rosewall, Chuck McKinley, Stan Smith, Roy Emerson, Arthur Ashe

and Jimmy Connors. As an amateur, he was once ranked No. 16. Many of the players he competed with have burned out or died. But Parker keeps serving and volleying. The 5-foot-7 righty is now the No. 1 ranked male tennis player in his age division in the U.S. and ranks No. 19 in the world. “I’ve gotten the better of the deal,” he says. “They’ve had short careers. I’ve been playing more than 60 years.” Some good genes and a lot of luck are factors in

his longevity, he admits, “but the great thing about continuing to compete is that it encourages you to live a healthy lifestyle, get more exercise, eat better — common-sense things — because I’m not sure the human body was designed to play tennis.” Every year, Parker plays a dozen or so tournaments, including the four national championships on clay, grass, indoor and hard courts. Since Aug. 26, he’s played in three back-to-back tournaments in Philadelphia, Locust Valley, N.Y., and Austria — and won in all three places. He’s had lots of success internationally and here at home. So far, he’s collected an estimated 116 gold balls awarded to winners of national tennis cham-

PREP FOOTBALL

Play cut short in McCurdy win over Braves By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

Just like last year’s matchup between the McCurdy Bobcats and the Santa Fe Indian School Braves, Saturday’s nondistrict prep football game did not reach the final gun. Last year’s game Bobcats 50 was ended in the fourth quarter Braves 0 after a brawl with McCurdy up 45-0. On Saturday, the Bobcats (3-0) shut out the Braves again with a 50-0 road win, and the game was ended with 5:35 remaining in the third quarter due to the mercy rule. “We weren’t physically sound today,” said Santa Fe Indian senior quarterback Christian Velarde. “It

didn’t seem like we all came out to play. Our line is way better than what they showed today, and our receivers can catch more than what they caught. It’s a little frustrating, but we’ll get better.” The Braves (1-2) were shorthanded, missing junior running back Devin Sherwood and junior wide receiver Kuien Quintana due to injuries. Freshman Royce Nez was forced to share snaps in the backfield with Velarde. “Having a freshman backfield really hurt us at times,” SFIS head coach Johnathan Toya said. “Us being depleted hurt us because we were missing those key guys. We were hoping our senior line would step up, but unfortunately they didn’t.” The young Braves starting having

trouble with McCurdy’s no-huddle, option-style offense on the game’s opening drive. McCurdy quarterback Chris Serrano kept the ball on an option play and took it to the end zone from 31 yards out to give the Bobcats a 6-0 lead with 10:56 remaining in the first quarter. Serrano then fumbled the hold on the extra point attempt to stay with a six-point lead, but it wouldn’t last long. The Braves lost 12 yards on their first drive and were forced to punt. McCurdy then capped off a nineplay drive with a 1-yard touchdown run from Serrano. After McCurdy

kicker Alfonso Arroyo successfully converted the extra point, the Bobcats had a 13-0 lead with 5:59 left in the opening quarter. Serrano had five touchdowns on the day; three rushing, one passing and a fumble recovery on defense that he returned 61 yards for a score. The defensive touchdown almost didn’t happen, as McCurdy head coach Jorge Oropeza was reluctant to play his quarterback on defense. “He’s such a monster,” Oropeza said. “This year I’m telling him ‘you can’t play defense, you’re my quarterback.’ He really wants to win.” As for why Serrano was able to have a big game, he said it came from this week’s preparation. “After last week we didn’t play that

Rain: Conditions caused confusion, difficulty on sloppy course Continued from Page D-1 scrambled for a replacement. How late were the phone calls to ATC head coach Tim Host, the event coordinator? Teams started calling at 5 a.m. to see if they could find a spot in an already deep field. In all, 17 schools toed the starting line when Host, donning a chicken costume in honor of the second-year event, raised his starter’s pistol for the girls race. There was no way Host was going to let a little mud and rain dampen his spirits. “It was a great turnout today,” Host said. “And everybody had a really awesome attitude when it came to running in the mud, persevering. It was just really a lot of fun.” Fun was almost superseded by confusion in the opening race. Fleddermann and Santa Fe High’s Noel Prandoni took to the point of the field from the outset, but Fleddermann mistook a fence post with white ribbon for a turn and went left just before the mile mark. “It was weird because there were these flags,” said the chasing Prandoni, who had never competed in the rain before. “So we followed the flagsm and there were people lining it. Then the trail disappeared into these weird little shrubs, but people were like, ‘Woooo!’ ” The rest of the frontrunners followed the duo before a spectator informed them they were going the wrong way. The group quickly retraced their steps back to the course, and no one lost their positions. Not that it would have mattered because Fleddermann and Prandoni were the class of the field. Prandoni pressured the reigning AAA champion throughout the second half of the race but could never get past Fleddermann. Fleddermann’s time of 20 minutes, 29.62 seconds trumped Prandoni by :06.14 for her first win of the season. Yet, for all the challenges Fleddermann stared down, the biggest one was the course itself. “The mud is the biggest problem because you’re slipping backwards at the same time,” Fleddermann said. “You definitely have to work harder.” Behind that pair was Los Alamos’ Sophia Galvez, who rebounded from hitting the wall in the final 500 meters of the UNM

invite the week before to take third. She led a green-and-gold parade that took up the next three spots as Los Alamos held the low score of 29 points. Galvez shrugged off her prior struggles by embracing the elements. “It was a fun course,” Galvez said. “I really liked it. I like running in the rain.” What the runners might not have liked was the quick narrowing of the course that came about 75 yards after the start, which was evident in the boys race. Santa Fe High’s Zack Grand ran off the trail for several yards to find his position near the front with Hemez, while Santistevan stayed in the back of the pack, collecting mud. Santistevan eventually got to the front by the first mile, this despite running with bursitis in his left knee, and battled with Grand for the lead until the second mile. That’s when Hemez stepped into the fray, noticing that the pace was not to his liking. “It was at the halfway point that I realized the front pack wasn’t going any faster, and

the pack behind wasn’t going any slower,” Hemez said. “So at that point, it was about moving ahead because you can’t stay stagnant and just get going.” He pulled ahead of Grand, and the two pulled away from a game Santistevan. The race was decided when the runners made the transition from the mud to the pavement. Grand didn’t have the kick that Hemez did, and the Hilltopper senior pulled away for a 17:35 win, two seconds ahead of Grand. Los Alamos doubled up by taking first with 49 points. The finish gives Grand something to work on as he establishes himself as a contender in Class AAAA. “My kick? It seems like one year it’s good, and the next it sucks,” Grand said. “Some races it’s good, some others it’s not. It would have been easier if I wasn’t slipping all over the place.” But such is the life of cross country racing, especially in the mud and rain.

SPORTS

Gold: Parker a part of winning family Continued from Page D-1 pionships, including six so far this year. The most recent one came in the first week of this month, when he and his son, Christopher, won the Super Senior Father/Son national championship against David and Robert Ober of Setauket, N.Y., 6-1, 6-0, at the Piping Rock Club in Locust Valley, N.Y. The balls are no bigger than a couple of inches in diameter, and not real gold, Parker notes. He keeps them in a closet in his home in Santa Fe. He’s actually not quite sure how many he has. He is definitely behind tennis legend Gardnar Malloy, 99, who by some accounts has 129 (and has retired from play), and Bob Sherman, 93, who at last count had 118. But no one actually knows the real numbers. The U.S. Tennis Association doesn’t keep a tally. However, if he stays healthy, the much younger Parker could surpass both of them. (But not among women: Dodo Cheny has at least 400.) This year, Parker won gold balls at both the national indoor championship in the men’s 70 division in Houston in March, defeating Leland Housman 6-3, 6-1, and the national hard court championship in Irvine, Calf., in June, again beating Housman by a score of 6-3, 6-1. Then in August, he won the the national grass court championship at the Philadelphia Cricket Club Club, beating Dean Corley 6-2, 6-0. From Locust Valley, Parker took off for Europe for the ITF World Championships, an international competition in which teams of four players from dozens of countries compete for individual and team titles. In the Jack Crawford Cup men’s 70, Parker, ranked No. 1, led the U.S. to the world championship, winning in both singles and doubles. Later this month, he’s scheduled to play in the national clay championship in Pinehurst, N.C. “He’s a legend. He really is,” said Rocky Royer, a tennis professional at the Rosemarie Shellaberger Tennis Center. “There are not many 70-yearold guys who can compete with Jim.” Although Royer is 15 years younger, “If I’m not playing well, I’m not going to beat him.” Tim Garcia, a judge on the New Mexico Court of Appeals who often plays doubles with Parker in Santa Fe, said, “I can’t believe anybody’s capable of playing as much tennis as Jim is. He’s kept himself in such good shape. He doesn’t look or act or feel his age.”

Training In late August, the week before leaving for Philadelphia, Parker was on the tennis court daily, playing with a circle of recreational players and teaching pros from Santa Fe. The trick with senior tennis, he says, is knowing how to train. “If you train too hard, you’re liable to injure yourself. So you don’t necessarily want to get into fantastic shape.” Parker plays everywhere in Santa Fe, from the Bicentennial Park courts to Shellaberger

with her. (Heldman lived in Santa Fe later in her life, where she had an indoor court in an adobe building on the old Carlos Viera property on Old Pecos Trail. When Parker was 14, she had hired him to write a tennis story for her magazine.) In 2006, Parker retired from the Houston Racquet Club and three years ago relocated to Santa Fe with his wife, Ellen. Tennis, he notes, has changed a lot over the 60 years he has played. Rackets are better. Players are better conditioned and play at a higher level. “When I played, the best Jim Parker of Santa Fe plays tennis with Alan Arsht of New York City at the Sangre de Cristo Racquet Club on Aug. 22. players had some easy Parker is the youngest man to reach 100 gold balls for win- matches.

After a 20-14 overtime victory in the first week of the season against Española Valley, Oropeza has been trying to get his team to start games strong so as to not have to worry about trying to pull off a late-game victory. “We’re finally executing,” he said. “One of the things I was stressing the entire season was that we have to finish strong, but we have to start strong as well. We have to play at our level and at our speed, not at the level of our opponents.” With a 42-point lead late in

the second quarter, McCurdy was trying to score a final touchdown so the game would end at halftime. After getting down to the Santa Fe Indian 18 yard line, the Bobcats were unable to score and the game would see a second half. “I was trying to end it, but we couldn’t,” Oropeza said. “We couldn’t punch it in.” Both teams will be on the road for nondistrict games next week as McCurdy travels to Fort Sumner and Santa Fe Indian goes to Española Valley. After this tough loss, Toya said the only thing left to do is focus on the Sundevils. “It’s hard not having kids out here, but then again there’s no more excuses,” he said. “We just need to suck it up and keep going. We just have to turn the page and get ready for Española.”

Jim Furyk takes 1-shot lead

SF High merciless in win The Santa Fe High School girls soccer team has no mercy. The Demonettes (6-1) crushed visiting Pojoaque Valley (0-7) 10-0 on Saturday in a nondistrict match for their third mercy rule victory of the season. There were still 15 minutes remaining in the second half when play was stopped. The Demonettes led 7-0 at halftime. Elena Lemus and Ursula Vold had three goals each. Bryanna Garcia had two goals while Eliana Bell and Tiffany Trujillo each had a goal for Santa Fe High. “I’m demanding more and more,” Demonettes head coach Keith Richards said. “I’m demanding that they get better because they know things are going to change here quickly.” BOYS SOCCER SANTA FE HIGH 10, POJOAqUE VALLEY 1 Senior captain Josue de Luna scored a career-

high four goals to lead the Demons to a rout of the visiting Elks. De Luna scored the first goal of the match in the eighth minute on an assist from Ruben Guzman, then snapped a 1-1 tie in the 25th minute when he scored off an Alex Torres assist. Santa Fe High led 4-1 at halftime. De Luna opened the scoring in the second half with his third goal. The Demons’ other goals came from Gerson Ramos, Curtis Anthons, Daniel Matzier and Eddie Marquez. The final two came from Trent Spencer, each coming in the final two minutes. “Josue’s been one of our go-to guys,” said Santa Fe High head coach A.J.

NFL Week 2

Line: Eagles by 71/2 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: I was impressed with the Eagles’ fast — and I mean fast! — start in Monday night’s win over RG3 and the Redskins. The cynic in me just wonders how long all of Philly’s key offensive cogs, especially QB Michael Vick, can stay healthy running such a fast-paced, no-huddle offense? Still, the “Linc” should be rocking for Chip Kelly’s regular-season home debut. THE PICK: EAGLES

REDSKINS (0-1) AT PACKERS (0-1) Line: Packers by 71/2 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: The Redskins sleepwalked through the first half vs. Philly as RG3 looked rusty. The Packers very well could have won vs. the 49ers last week. This is a tough one to call. Tread lightly here. THE PICK: PACKERS

VIKINGS (0-1) AT BEARS (1-0) Line: Bears by 6 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: The Bears have won five straight and eight of their last nine against the Vikings with an average margin of victory of 14.9 points. THE PICK: BEARS

Line: Panthers by 3 Time: 11 a.m.

ESPAñOLA VALLEY 3, RATON 0 In Española, the host Lady Sundevils (2-1) cruised to a 25-12, 25-17, 25-21 nondistrict win over the visiting Lady Tigers. Kayla Romero had six aces and six kills. Elana Salazar had eight kills and three aces, while Ashlyn Trujillo had seven kills. “Our ball control was good, and we didn’t have that many service errors, which is good because we usually have 10 or more in every match,” said Española head coach Damon Salazar.

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Jim Furyk was 10 shots worse and right where he wanted to be Saturday in the BMW Championship. One day after Furyk had a 12-under 59 to become the sixth player in PGA Tour history to shoot golf’s magic number, he did enough right on the back nine at Conway Farms for a 69 and a oneshot lead over Steve Stricker. Furyk wasn’t expecting another low round — no one ever shot better than 68 on the PGA Tour following a 59. And while the threeputt bogey on his last hole was a setback, it didn’t keep him from the only place he wanted to be. “The goal was to go out and shoot a good number today, get myself in position to win this golf tournament,” Furyk said. “It could have been better out there. … Obviously, I dropped that shot at 18, which I’m disappointed. It was probably one of the easier holes of the day. But I’ve got myself in good position, so rather than harp on the last hole, I’d probably tend to want to think about tomorrow.” It doesn’t figure to be easy.

Bottom line: I was impressed by the Bills, who almost pulled off upset of Patriots in Week 1. Carolina is 3-6 ATS in its last nine games as a favorite of four or fewer points. THE PICK: BILLS

Rams, who covered their last six road games last season. THE PICK: RAMS

BROWNS (0-1) AT RAVENS (0-1)

Line: Colts by 21/2 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted that his team must do a better job of protecting QB Andrew Luck after he was sacked four times in Week 1. “I DEMAND better,” he said. Lots of Luck, guys. The Colts are 8-1 overall at home with Luck. THE PICK: COLTS

Line: Ravens by 61/2 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: How about the AFC North going winless in Week 1? The defending Super Bowl champ Ravens are at home — where they should have been in Week 1. Wait, did Peyton Manning just throw another TD pass while you were reading this? Baltimore looks for its 11th straight ‘W’ vs. the Brownies, the NFL’s longest current divisional win streak. THE PICK: RAVENS

COWBOYS (1-0) AT CHIEFS (1-0)

TITANS (1-0) AT TEXANS (1-0)

Line: Chiefs by 3 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: Say whatever you want about Dallas QB Tony Romo — just don’t forget how tough he is. I know Alex Smith looked good for the Chiefs in Week 1, but they were playing the lowly Jaguars. Andy Reid’s new team already has half as many wins as they had last year. This might be a trap game for the Cowboys, but I’m still biting. THE PICK: COWBOYS

Line: Texans by 9 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: I fell asleep late Monday night — kind of how Houston did in the first half — and didn’t see the Texans score 24 straight to stun the Chargers after trailing 28-7. The Titans are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine vs. the AFC South, but I’ll ride them for another week. THE PICK: TITANS

DOLPHINS (1-0) AT COLTS (1-0)

RAMS (1-0) AT FALCONS (0-1) Line: Falcons by 7 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: Steven Jackson gets to face his old team as Atlanta will be amped up for this one after a close loss to the Saints. I love the way Jeff Fisher coaches, so I’ll take a shot with the

SAINTS (1-0) AT BUCCANEERS (0-1) Line: Saints by 31/2 Time: 11 a.m. Bottom line: Can’t imagine how the Bucs felt after last week’s crushing finish against the Jets. Now there are reports that coach Greg Schiano made sure QB Josh Freeman wasn’t voted team captain this season. It gets stickier: Freeman overslept and missed the

AMERICAN LEAGUE

A’s clinch key division series The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Bartolo Colon scattered seven hits over eight impressive innings for the AL Athletics 1 West-leading Oakland Rangers 0 Athletics, who stretched their division lead over Texas to 5½ games with a 1-0 victory over the Rangers and Yu Darvish on Saturday. The A’s won for the seventh time in eight games, and clinched the key division series by beating Texas twice in less than 24 hours. Colon (16-6) struck out seven and lowered what is already his career-best ERA to 2.73. ROYALS 1, TIGERS 0 In Detroit, Prince Fielder was thrown out at home plate to end the game, preserving Ervin Santana’s impressive outing and leading the Royals to a victory over the Tigers. Eric Hosmer had an RBI triple in the first for the Royals. He was thrown out at the plate trying to score on a grounder to third base. Santana (9-9) won for the first time since Aug. 4, outpitching Doug Fister (12-9). He allowed five hits in 6 2-3 innings, walking one and strik-

For starters, Furyk has failed to convert at least a share of the 54-hole lead into a victory in his last four attempts, two of them at major championships. And there were plenty of stars lined up behind, including Tiger Woods. Stricker holed out from the 15th fairway for eagle on his way to a 64, putting him in the final group as he tries to win for the first time this year. Brandt Snedeker salvaged a sloppy day with a birdie on his last hole for a 71 and was two shots behind. Zach Johnson had a 69 and was another shot back. Woods was still fuming after being handed a two-shot penalty Friday when his ball appeared to shift as he was removing a twig near it before a shot from the woods. But he ran off six birdies in seven holes in the middle of his round to get within two shots. His momentum was slowed when he missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 14th hole, and then pulled his 3-wood into the water on the 15th and did well to make bogey. He had a 66. Furyk was at 13-under 200. He cleared one mental battle by trying to put that 59 behind him and return his focus to the tournament. Now comes another men-

tal battle that figures to be even tougher. Furyk has gone three years since he last won a tournament, and it hasn’t been from a lack of opportunity. Just last month, he had a oneshot lead going into the final round of the PGA Championship and was outplayed by Jason Dufner. “It’s been three years. No one has to remind me of the Tour Championship in ‘10, and as I’ve had some of the close calls last year, I definitely put some more pressure on myself,” he said.

ing out five. Will Smith, Luke Hochevar and Greg Holland completed the seven-hitter. INDIANS 8, WHITE SOX 1 In Chicago, Ubaldo Jimenez pitched 8 1-3 strong innings and Asdrubal Cabrera and Lonnie Chisenhall homered to lead Cleveland to a victory over the White Sox on Saturday night that helped the Indians keep pace in the AL wild-card race. Cabrera hit a two-run homer and Chisenhall added a threerun shot in a five-run fourth inning that powered the Indians to their 11th straight win against Chicago and third in a row overall to improve to 80-68. RED SOX 5, YANKEES 1 In Boston, Jon Lester pitched eight dominant innings, and the AL East-leading Red Sox dealt the Yankees’ wild-card hopes another blow. Mike Napoli, Jonny Gomes and Shane Victorino each had two hits as the surging Red Sox won for the 16th time in 19 games and beat the Yankees for the fifth time in six meetings in just over a week. BLUE JAYS 4, ORIOLES 3 In Toronto, Colby Rasmus hit a two-run home run, Jeremy Jefress won for the first time in more than two years and the Jays handed the slumping Orioles their fifth loss in seven

games. Rasmus erased Baltimore’s 3-2 lead with a drive off the facing of the second deck against Chris Tillman (16-6) in the seventh inning. For Rasmus, it was his 20th homer of the season and second in two days. ANGELS 6, ASTROS 2 In Houston, Jered Weaver pitched six solid innings, Chris Iannetta homered and the Angels stopped Houston’s fourgame winning streak. Weaver (10-8) joined Nolan Ryan as the only Angels pitchers to reach double-digits in wins for eight straight seasons. Brett Wallace homered for Houston, which leads the majors with 97 losses. The Astros had their first four-game winning string since mid-June. RAYS 7, TWINS 0 In Minneapolis, Matt Moore and five relievers combined on a four-hitter and Tampa Bay held their wild-card lead, defeating Minnesota on a rainy night. The Rays teamed to blank the Twins for the second straight day, and threw their 15th shutout of the season. Tampa Bay beat Minnesota for the 11th time in a row. Desmond Jennings hit a pair of RBI doubles as the Rays stayed 11/2 games ahead of Cleveland for the second AL wild-card spot.

team picture last week. Hmm, Freeman not in the picture? That, my friends, is called foreshadowing. THE PICK: SAINTS

LIONS (1-0) AT CARDINALS (0-1) Line: Lions by 1 Time: 2:05 p.m. Bottom line: The Lions are just one of four road favorites this week (favorites went 12-4 overall last week, but just 7-8-1 ATS). Hey Ndamukong Suh, can I borrow some money until payday? I’ll take a shot with the Cardinals at home. THE PICK: CARDINALS

JAGUARS (0-1) AT RAIDERS (0-1) Line: Raiders by 51/2 Time: 2:25 p.m. Bottom line: I saw that there were 8,143 net passing yards and 63 TD passes in Week 1, the highest total of any week in NFL history. It wasn’t like the Jags had much to do with those incredible numbers! How about a safety on defense and a measly 107 yards passing. They didn’t cross midfield until midway through the fourth quarter vs. KC. Yikes! THE PICK: RAIDERS

BRONCOS (1-0) AT GIANTS (0-1) Line: Broncos by 41/2 Time: 2:25 p.m. Bottom line: Manning Bowl III. That’s what NFL fans see as Eli and Peyton Manning meet for the third time. But Giants fans are more concerned about the running game after David Wilson’s two fumbles led to the team signing ex-

Giant RB Brandon Jacobs. The defense will have a tough test against Eli’s big bro, the guy who makes you laugh during his commercials, then makes you cry as he slices up your secondary. I’ve seen games like this many times with Tom Coughlin’s Giants: they appear to be a bit overmatched, but find a way to win. The G-Men are 10-4-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 15 vs. teams with a winning record. Works for me. THE PICK: GIANTS

49ers (1-0) AT SEAHAWKS (1-0) Line: Seahawks by 3 Time: 6:30 p.m. Bottom line: Did you hear that QBs Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson have a wager on the game, and the loser has to shave one of his eyebrows? Talk about point shaving! Let’s see if they really go through with it. Seattle was 8-0 at home last season and has covered four straight times at home vs. San Francisco. THE PICK: SEAHAWKS MONDAY NIGHT

STEELERS (0-1) AT BENGALS (0-1) Line: Bengals by 7 Time: 6:40 p.m. Bottom line: This could be a changingof-the-guard game in the AFC North. The Bengals are an abysmal 1-10-1 ATS vs. the Steelers in the two teams’ last 12 meetings at Paul Brown Stadium. But I think that trend turns here against a declining Pittsburgh team, which opened as a 3-point underdog. THE PICK: BENGALS

Reds keep pace in NL Central The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Joey Votto and Shin-Soo Choo each hit two-run homers, and Cincinnati kept Reds 7 pace in the NL Central Brewers 3 race with a 7-3 win Saturday over the Brewers. Homer Bailey (11-10) allowed three runs over seven innings in winning his career-best sixth straight decision. Votto had three RBIs, including the towering drive off the right field foul pole in the sixth. PIRATES 2, CUBS 1 In Pittsburgh, Gerrit Cole pitched seven strong innings and got home run help from Marlon Byrd and Jose Tabata, leading the Pirates past Chicago. Pittsburgh has won five of six and tied St. Louis for the NL Central lead. Cole (8-7) gave up one run and five hits. The rookie struck out seven and walked three. MARINERS 4, CARDINALS 1 In St. Louis, rookie James Paxton gave up two hits in six shutout innings, and Seattle ended a five-game losing streak, dropping the Cardinals into a tie for the NL Central lead. St. Louis and Pittsburgh

share the division lead once again. The Pirates topped the Cubs 2-1. BRAVES 2, PADRES 1 In Atlanta, Kris Medlen allowed four hits over 71/3 scoreless innings to win his fourth straight start, leading the Braves over San Diego. NL East-leading Atlanta led 2-0 before Chase Headley hit a ninth-inning homer off closer Craig Kimbrel, who then pitched around a two-out walk to Ronny Cedeno for his careerbest 47th save. PHILLIES 5, NATIONALS 4 In Washington, Carlos Ruiz had two doubles and three RBIs, John Mayberry homered and Philadelphia ended the Nationals’ seven-game winning streak. Washington fell 51/2 games behind Cincinnati for the second NL wild card. Cole Hamels (8-13) won his fourth straight decision. Jonathan Papelbon worked around a leadoff double in the ninth for his 27th save. MARLINS 3, METS 0, 1ST GAME METS 3, MARLINS 1, 2ND GAME In New York, Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed two hits in seven innings for his first major league win in more than a year, and the Mets got back-to-back homers from Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda to beat Miami

for a doubleheader split. Matsuzaka (1-3) plunked Placido Polanco twice in the nightcap, but other than that the Japanese right-hander was in complete control. It was his first big league win since Aug. 27, 2012, with Boston against Kansas City. He entered 1-10 in his past 16 major league starts. D-BACKS 9, ROCKIES 2 In Phoenix, Wade Miley took a shutout into the seventh inning, Gerardo Parra doubled twice and drove in three runs, and Arizona beat Colorado 9-2 Saturday night. Miguel Montero had three hits and scored twice on his bobblehead night, helping Miley (10-10) get his first win since Aug. 6. GIANTS 19, DODGERS 3 In Los Angeles, Hunter Pence’s grand slam and career-high seven RBIs helped San Francisco romp past the Dodgers with the most runs they’ve ever allowed at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers’ magic number for clinching the NL West remained at four. The last time the Los Angeles allowed 19 runs at home was on Sept. 12, 1961, when Philadelphia won 19-10 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a game started by none other than Sandy Koufax. Dodger Stadium opened the next season.

McCarron leads Alabama over Texas A&M The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — AJ McCarron threw four touchdown passes — one less than Johnny Manziel — Alabama 49 and No. 1 Texas A&M 42 Alabama beat No. 6 Texas A&M 49-42 on Saturday, paying back the Aggies for last season’s upset win. Vinnie Sunseri returned an interception 73 yards for a score — sidestepping Manziel on the way to the end zone — as the Crimson Tide (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) spotted the Aggies (2-1, 0-1) a 14-0 lead before scoring the next 35 points. McCarron tossed three touchdowns in the first half to put Alabama up 28-14. Sunseri’s score made it 35-14 less than 3 minutes into the third. Manziel threw for a careerbest 464 yards but a first-half interception in the end zone swung the game the Tide’s way, and his third-quarter pick and whiff on the tackle put A&M in a deep hole.

Bridgewater connected with DeVante Parker for a 13-yard touchdown just before halftime that opened things up for Louisville (3-0).

Complexities of ingress and egress By Otis Phillips The New Mexican

Decor that tells a story

on tHe web

ngress and egress are just what they sound like — entering and exiting a piece of property. Deeds use these terms to refer to the rights of ingress and egress. While it might seem obvious that real estate would come with the right to enter and exit as you please, ingress and egress issues can be complicated in New Mexico. Whether you are dealing with a landlocked parcel Santa Fe Real Estate Guide that is not adjacent to a road or with a parcel that has limited access to adjacent roads, ingress rights are not always obvious to the layperson. Ingress refers to the right to enter a property (your property) while egress refers to the right to exit a property. The complexity behind Parade winners Little hydro plant ingress and egress rights is that they require you to also have rights to another piece of property. After more Home all, you cannot exit your This column property if you do have the appears regularly right to enter through an in Home. Read adjacent property. more about local Just because your propreal estate in erty is adjacent to a road Home, inside The New Mexican does not mean that you every first Sunday have the right of ingress of the month and and egress from the at www.santafe road. Cities may limit the newmexican number of driveways to .com/life/home streets or roads. You may have rear-entry driveways with entrance on the alley, which then provides a single ingress and egress point to the alley for all houses to use it. The government frequently limits the number of access points onto roads. If your property touches a road that has limited access or that is simply maxed out, you may need to negotiate the right to use an adjacent parcel’s road access, if you cannot get permission from the local government to create a driveway and curb out. A landlocked parcel is a piece of land that does not touch a road, and in New Mexico they are not as rare as one might think. If easements for access are not already in place you will not be able to access a landlocked parcel without negotiating the right to cross over any other pieces of land between the landlocked parcel and the road. Easements: If your property lacks ingress and egress rights of its own, you will need to have access easements over adjacent properties. Easements give you the right to use a different piece of property in a limited fashion. An example: Utility companies have easements to allow them to go onto landlocked property. They have easements that give them the right to pass over adjacent properties to get to the landlocked property. Title insurance gives you comfort that you have ingress and egress, but there is not a guarantee for more than one fashion of access. Peruse the commitment you receive from the title company. The commitment will tell you if you have ingress and egress, if not or uncertain, seek legal counsel. The whole idea of ingress and egress may be limited and confusing.

New York designer David Kassel’s team has sourced collections of vintage plates, exotic tortoise shells and vintage medicine bottles that may be purchased from his ILevel studio (www.ILevel.biz) as the basis for a salon wall. Objects d’art, photos of travels and family, or items that reflect family members’ personal passions are all good subject matter for a salon wall. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOS

hose beautiful summer vacation photos are in a cardboard box. Somewhere. The souvenirs you picked up on that overseas trip years ago are jumbled in a drawer. Your collection of (fill in the blank) is in the kitchen cupboard. Why not showcase these personal treasures and create great art at the same time? One clever way to do it is to mount shelves or frames on a wall and fill them with whatever pleases you. Decorators call it a salon wall, and it has origins in 17th-century Paris, when the Royal Academy held exhibitions, or “salons,” to showcase student work. Their art would be mounted in a closely knit configuration. A visually balanced arrangement is what you’re after, says New York interior designer Elaine Griffin. “It’s the eclecticism — photos with found objects, for example — that makes it beautiful and stylish,” she says. “Every element should speak to you or tell you a story.” To create a salon wall, plan carefully. Lay out the arrangement on the floor first, and then transfer it from the floor to the wall, piece by piece. “Start at the center of the composition and work your way outward, a little bit in each direction, left, right, up, down,” Griffin says. Spacing doesn’t need to be the same around all objects, but it

can look better when it’s equal around an individual element. Use a geometric shape — square, circle, triangle or diamond — as a loose basis for your arrangement. Create an axis in the center of the wall, a focal point from which all the elements radiate, Griffin advises. Laying the idea out on a template — a piece of art paper on which you draw the shapes — will help consolidate the finished look. “It’s nice if you have the entire collection for a wall ready to hang at once, but you don’t have to — you can install as you collect,” Griffin says. David Kassel, a collage artist in New York City, creates salon walls for designers like Bunny Williams, Jamie Drake and Jeffrey Bilhuber. Through his company, ILevel, he’ll put up anything a client gives him, but also offers his own collections: exotic turtle shells, vintage medicine bottles, colorful plates, even a framed set of 1940s Rorschach ink blots. “For small objects you can use shadow boxes. Sconces are a wonderful way to display bottles, vases, rocks or any three dimensional objects. You can choose from simple contemporary wall wedges or more traditional options like carved, gold-leaf sconces,” Kassel says. If you want to turn your wall into a photo gallery, hanging the pictures without frames creates a clean look that lets the pictures pop, says Jeff Southard, a spokesman for Collagewall.com, which helps clients create photo walls. Avoid hanging several versions

of the same picture, he says; instead, use a variety of closeups, action shots, etc. “Given the choice between a perfect bland photo and a flawed, energetic one, go for the lively one,” Southard says. “Don’t be afraid to exhibit your passion. Cars, kids, architecture — even good food. When guests come over, you can talk about something you love.” San Francisco photographer Jason Rodman, for example, mounted a series of black-andwhite images of the city on his wall. In Seattle, Sara Shrader’s pride in her two baseball-loving sons led her to take photos of their various team caps over the years. She created a collage wall

that included pictures of the boys in action. A company like Picturewall. com provides templates for rectangular and stairway displays, and sends a kit that includes wood frames and acid-free mats. You just drop in your photos. Kassel says such displays should continue to evolve. “Families grow, important events continue to happen, collections change over time,” he says. “A great salon wall is never finished.”

FHA cuts waiting time for foreclosed-on homeowners losing their house for failure to make payments. “To get A-paper institutional financing so soon after a foreclosure is unheard-of,” said Brent Wilson, with Comstock Mortgage in Sacramento, Calif. “It should increase the buyer pool throughout the country.” The FHA announced the changes Aug. 15 in a letter to lenders titled “Back to Work: Extenuating Circumstances.” Officials say it was meant to acknowledge the reality of the reces-

new listing

Homeowners who were laid off and lost their homes to foreclosure could qualify for a new mortgage in as little as a year under an unprecedented federal rule change that slashes the usual waiting period between financial disaster and buying a new house. Normally, homeowners who were foreclosed on must wait three years

before they can qualify for a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA loans require only a 3.5 percent down payment and have more lenient lending standards than conventional loans, though borrowers have to carry long-term mortgage insurance. Getting a conventional loan after foreclosure can take up to seven years. The new changes allow borrowers who meet a set of strict criteria to qualify for an FHA loan only 12 months after

sion, with its mass layoffs, and to help people return to home ownership. “We’ve just been through an economic shock in this country when people lost their jobs through no fault of their own,” said Brian Sullivan, spokesman for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the FHA. “Now we’re in a recovery, and many borrowers have become re-employed and are able to sustain a mortgage again.”

To qualify, borrowers must fit the FHA’s profile of those who deserve an early second chance. They must have lost their homes in a foreclosure or short sale because they were unemployed or experienced a big drop in household income due to circumstances “beyond the borrower’s control.” They have to show they have recovered financially and otherwise have a clean credit record. And they have to complete housing counseling.

TIME OUT

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013: This year you will want to focus on your daily life, your work and your health. If one of these areas isn’t working for you, make the necessary adjustments. Change schedules. It is your life, and you don’t need to be unhappy. If you are single, you’ll meet someone when you least expect it. If you are attached, the two of you might want to develop a common interest into a hobby. Aquarius can be challenging because he or she is very independent. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Tension might surround a friendship or a professional relationship. A partner will be very clear about his or her expectations. An older friend also might have an agenda. You could feel pulled in different directions. Tonight: Only what you want. This Week: Follow-through counts, especially right now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH You might find yourself caught in a jam because of an

ultimatum or because of insufficient understanding. You can justify your stance, but know that it will cause only more separation where you do not want to experience it. Be smart. Tonight: Walk in someone else’s shoes. This Week: You like having it your way. Focus on achievement and effectiveness. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A need for a more expansive experience marks the day. Hop in your car and go for a drive. Visit a favorite flee market or art gallery. You might be physically exhausted by the end of the day, but you will be mentally re-energized. Tonight: Be entertained. This Week: Look at a situation through new eyes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH A close friend or roommate might reach out to you today. You will want to participate in his or her plans. As a result, you’ll come to a mutual understanding with greater give-andtake. A relative might continue to shake up the status quo. Tonight: Follow through on plans. This week: Cover your bases before taking a strong action.

Today’s answers

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Clear up a hassle revolving around your domestic or personal life. Someone seems to be holding on tight to a grievance. This person might need to be persuaded to discuss his or her feelings. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. This Week: Others want control, so give as much of it to them as you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH No wonder you want to stay close to home. It is normal to be tired and withdrawn. You have been pushing yourself very hard, and while you have enjoyed the activity, it’s time to slow down a little and relax. Everyone needs some downtime. Tonight: Think “tomorrow.” This Week: Get as much done as possible Monday. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Listen to a loved one, roommate or new friend. Act on a romantic impulse, and you might like what comes up for you as a result. Be realistic about your finances, and determine how far you realistically can stretch your budget. Know when to say “no.” Tonight: Ever playful. This Week: Romance entwines with work. Is this really what you want? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Stay anchored but not negative. You might want to have a discussion with a trusted family member who obviously cares.

You could feel a little too vulnerable for your liking, but perhaps it is necessary to live with the discomfort for now. Tonight: Order a pizza. This Week: Your creative juices flow, and they could bring stunning results. SAGITTARIUS(Nov.22-Dec.21) HHHH You’ll enjoy visiting with a friend today. You have had many great times together in the past, and now you’ll be enjoying even more. You could be redefining your limits, and others might sense this change. Know that this is only temporary. Tonight: Till the wee hours. This Week: Say what you are thinking, but be aware of the ramifications. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH How you deal with your finances could change radically after having a discussion with someone who knows a lot about money and budgets. You honestly might be surprised at an option that you did not know existed. Tonight: Balance your checkbook and pay your bills. This Week: Continue being frugal with your time and energy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You will witness the gamut of unusual behavior among others today. Maintain a sense of humor and stay centered. Don’t allow someone to throw you off your game. Keep a tight hand on your wallet and on your spending. Tonight: Swap news and jokes with a friend. This Week: Clearly, you are on a roll. Enjoy yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Kick back and let yourself fall into some daydreaming. If you feel like escaping for the day, there is no time like the present. Someone at a distance might be too stern when dealing with you. Do not take this individual’s comments personally. Tonight: Keep it low-key. This Week: You are a force to be dealt with.

Scratch pad

ear fellow Obama apologists in the lapdog liberal media: Tough times for us! Let’s face it, our task of being unquestioning cheerleaders for the president has become a bit more difficult. Obama is getting a little harder to defend, what with his seemingly feckless foreign policy, paralyzed domestic agenda, Nixonian hissy fits against leakers and whistle-blowers, not to mention the fact that he probably has some 27-year-old security analyst reading this column in real time as I am writing it. What we puny presidential tailwagging Pomeranians need right now is something to ignite our indignation, to give us a rallying point, and I’m here today to provide it to you. All you have Gene to do is get on Duane’s mailing list. I am, Weingarten and it has revitalized me in enthusiastic defense of our commander in chief. The Washington Duane Steil is an indignant private Post citizen in California who bombards me (and hundreds of other media and political types, including Sean Hannity, Bob Woodward, Steve Forbes, John McCain, Glenn Beck and, for some reason, Ed Koch, who is currently dead) with daily emails. Almost all of them are savaging the president for perceived sins of commission, sins of omission, sins presumed, sins suspected, sins supposed, sins imagined and sins invented. Duane’s email feed is the place where Obama simply cannot catch a break, a place so dependent on the bedrock assumption of the man’s profound personal flaws and malign intent that no accusation, however preposterous, is deemed unlikely. It’s all a fabulous tool for bolstering loyalty among the likes of us. It’s like what happened last month when that Red Sox pitcher kept throwing at the odious, indefensible Alex Rodriguez. Eventually, Alex’s Yankees teammates started fighting for him. In Duane’s emails, Obama is “Maobama.” He is “The Deceiver in Chief.” He is “Barry O’Conman.” He is a “Commie-leon,” which took me a while but appears to be a fusion of “Communist” and “chameleon.” He is the “Lying, Cheating, Stealing Hoax-In-Chief.” His aides are “Brown Shirts.” Duane’s headlines are all spectacular: “Sociopath Obama’s Undeclared World War.” “Bumbling Fools or Lying A-Holes?” Many of Duane’s communiques are passing along something someone else has written, and of which Duane approves. These items are not policed for truth with the same standards of care typical of, say, the Journal of the American Medical Association. One item criticized the liberal, secular editors of the National World War II Memorial — typical Obama-ites — for having cravenly deleted a reference to the deity from a line delivered by FDR after Pearl Harbor, obviously as part of a War on Christianity. This turned out to be not entirely true but only in the sense that the original FDR line did not, in fact, contain a reference to the deity. My favorite event in the great Duane Steil news feed occurred just the other day, when everyone on Duane’s mailing list learned about Barack Obama’s secret “gay history.” It’s all very detailed! It turns out that in 1999, a convicted drug dealer and check-kiter flew into Chicago and asked his cabdriver where he could obtain some good cocaine and hot gay companionship. The driver knew just where and made a phone call. Soon, Barack Obama arrived! At the time, Mr. Obama was a high-profile state senator and was weighing a run for Congress, but he was apparently also down to party with this stranger who looks and sounds like — I mean no offense here — Peter Lorre from Casablanca, only a little more oily. Can it be that Obama is gay? Well, there are apparently even more people who have evidence of the president’s gayness, according to the account, but Obama and his cronies have had most of them murdered. Duane doesn’t seem to doubt any of this. I bet Bob Woodward and Ed Koch are all over it.
